County is Eligible For

Storm Related Funds

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Jefferson County has qualified to
receive expanded funding from the
federal government to help pay for
the repair or replacement of public
property damaged by the most .re-
cent hurricane.
The Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency'(FEMA) last week an-
nounced this county's eligibility-for
the expanded funding, along with
Leon and Liberty counties. That
brings to 15 the number of Florida
counties that are now eligible for the
expanded federal assistance because
of Hurricane Dennis.
The 12 original counties eligible--
for the expanded funding were Bay,

Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gulf,
Holmes, Monroe, Okaloosa, Santa
Rosa, Wakulla, Walton and Wash-
ington.
The expanded funding allows for'
the repair or replacement of
hurricane-damaged roads, bridges,
utilities, water-control facilities,
buildings, equipment, parks and rec-
reation areas.
The expanded assistance is in ad-
dition to t1e previously available
federal fuiidii fr eniergenc, serv-
ices and debri .removal. .
For projects that qualify for the
expanded assistance, FEMA pays 75
percent of the cost of the repair or
replacement and the state or local
governing entity must pay the other
-25 percent.
All told, Hurricane Dennis did ap-

proximately $100,000 worth of
damage here, according to the latest
assessment of Road Superintendent
David Harvey.
The damage, which was mostly
visited on the county's dirt roads,
was in the form of flooding and
washouts.
Dennis, a category 3 hurricane,
struck the Panhandle just east of
Pensacola a little more than two
weeks ago. But bands' from the hur-
ricane swept across the state as far
east as..Suawamnee C..ui, and b-,.
yond.' /
The county received' in the vicinity
of $155,000 from FEMA last year
for storm-caused damage, mostly to
dirt roads. Private insurance compa-
nies, meanwhile, paid more than $1
million to homeowners whose prop-
-erties were. damaged by the four
storms that swept the area last year.

State Funding
Falls $323,000

RAY CICHON
Managing Editor

The School Board recently ap-
proved advertisement of a tentative
budget which'will levy a total mil-
lage of 8.219, a decrease of .162
from 2004's millage of 8.381.
Finance Director Hal Wilson ex-
plained that this year's millage will
generate $3.6 million.
Total projected for general state
funding is $6,746,000, a decrease of
.$323,000 over 2004 funding of.

$7,069,000, attributed to a reduction
in student enrollment and a reduc-
tion in grants.
The capital outlay tax will gener-
ate $858,000, which will fund land
acquisition, furniture, equipment, re-
modeling and computers.
Wilson stressed that capital outlay
funds are categoricals. which, must
be used for items similar to the
above metnioned.
These funds cannot be used for
salaries.
Random examples of property
taxes based upon the decrease in
millage follow:
A property valued at $45,000, less
the $25,000 exemption, generates a
tax bill of $164.38, which is $3.24
less than in 2004.

Likewise, a property valued at
$80,000, less the $25,000
exemption, generates at tax bill of
$452.05, which is $8.09 less than
last year.
Wilson explained that the unre-
served fund balance for districts rec-
ommended by DOE is five percent,,
or roughly $500,000 for this district.
The unreserved fund balance for
this year is expected to be
$179,133.93.
DROP payouts this year are ex-
pected to be $150,000, Wilson said.
The proposed budget projects
slightly more income than expenses,
a reversal of the previous year when
expenses exceeded income.

Hopkin's Landing On Lake

Gets Replacement Co. sign

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Never-say-die Road Department
David Harvey appears determined to
upgrade Hopkin's Landing, no mat-
ter the obstacles.
Hopkin's Landing is a little known
public access point to Lake Micco-
sukee on the Jefferson County side
of the 6,000-plus acre lake. The
landing, in fact, is the only public
access to the lake on the Jefferson
County side.

deep at the rock pit in the south part of the
county, where the Road Department exca-

Back in March, Harvey had his
crews construct and install a large
R sign on the site. The intent, accord-
ing to Harvey, was not only to iden-
tify. and give the landing a higher
visibility, but also to up the county's
involvement with the property.
Come the Easter weekend, how-
ever, a person -- or persons -- tore
down the newly-installed sign.
It's not the first time that signs
and other identifying markers have
Seen torn down, removed or de-
stroyed. The difference is that Har-
vey appears equally committed to

least one citizen who appreciates the
county's efforts on behalf of keep-
ing the site open to the public.
County crews have been maintain-
ing the mile-long lane that leads to
Hopkin's Landing for at least five
years, according to Harvey. That in-
cludes picking up litter alongside
the lane and maintaining trash bar-
rels' at the site itself.
As Harvey envisions it, the scenic
woodland lane that leads to the land-
ing would make an excellent hiking
and biking trail. Harvey, in fact, has
been talking 'with Health Depart-

ment Director Kim Barnhill about
the possibility of seeking a grant
that would finance the creation of
such a hiking and biking trail.
"We have only one landing on
our side of the lake," Harvey says.
"I want to preserve it."
Hopkin's Landing is accessible
from West Lake Road. To get there,
travel west on the road, go past the
Ft. Chapel Church, and turn left on
the Hopkin's Landing Road.
West Lake Road, by the way, is in
the process of being paved. Harvey
reports that half mile of the road has
now been paved.

Cracker Cattle Embody

Florida's Early History

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Former Florida Commissioner of
Agriculture Doyle Conner takes spe-
cial pride in a small herd of 20 or so
native cattle that he keeps on his
650-acre horse-and-cattle ranch in
Jefferson County.
Not only do the cattle represent a
piece of Florida history that Conner
particularly cherishes, the very pres-
ervation of the native breed -is due in
large part to Conner's efforts when
he was commissioner of agriculture
between 1961 and 1991.
Indeed, but for Conner's initiative,
Cracker Cattle -- as the breed has
come to be called -- might well be

extinct today.
"When I, was a kid, native cows
still roamed on the open range in
Florida," recalls Conner, 76, who
grew up near the small town of
Starke in north Florida. "We lived in
the country and all the people had
what were then called scrub cattle or
piney wood cattle or Spanish cattle;
what's now called native Florida
cattle or Cracker Cattle. They were
nondescript, multicolored descen-
dants of Spanish cattle."
The counterpart of the better-
known Texas Longhorns, Cracker
Cattle are smaller in size and have
less extreme horn lengths. But they
are every bit as colorful in patterns
and as wily in the wild.
The name Cracker Cattle is a rela-

tively new moniker assigned the
breed, according to Conner. It de-
rives from the name of Florida pio-
neers, called Crackers because of
the long whips they employed in the
handling of cattle. It's recorded that
when these individuals popped their
whips, the sound carried for miles.
The Crackers used the whips to hunt
the cattle out of Florida's scrublands
and drive them to market.
It's a little known fact, given the
state's popular association with the
tourism industry, that Florida is and
has been cattle country far longer
than any other state in the Union, in-
cluding Texas. But Florida, in fact,
had the first-ever cattle in what is
now the United States.

Cracker
(Continued From Page 1)
According to the historians, Span-
0ih explorer Ponce de Leon brought
Andalusian cattle on his second trip
to Florida in 1521 -- 99 years before
the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock and 77 years before cattle
herds were established north of the
Rio Grande. It was the descendants
of these and other Spanish cattle that
later mixed with descendants of
English longhorns and ultimately
evolved into the small, hardy native
cattle -- a breed uniquely adapted to
Fl.uida's humid climate, parasites
6nd poor native forage.
o As late as the 1940s, these native
cajtIt roamed wild in Florida and
formed the basis of most cattle herds
in the state. Then fence laws enacted
in 1950, along with advances in vet-
prinary medicine and improved for-
age, allowed for the importation of
Brahman and Brahman crossbreeds,
which eventually swept the state and
significantly altered the genetic
rhakeup of the native cattle.
By the time Conner came to office
in 1961 (after serving 10 years in
the Legislature), native cattle were
well on their way to being bred out
of existence, with the exception of a
few isolated herds here and there.
"As agriculture commissioner, I
wrote a letter to the Florida Cattle-
mfen Association saying that the old
native cattle were fast disappearing
from the scene," Conner relates. "I
wanted the Cattlemen Association to
'tart a project to preserve them be-
fore it was too late."
In response to Conner and the Cat-
tlemen Association's efforts, de-
scendants of a Florida pioneer fam-
ily with the purest of native cattle
donated five heifers and a bull to the
jlorida Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services in 1970 for
fhe preservation of the breed.

in recent years and is thinking of downsiz-
ing his horse operation also. (News Photo)

Cattle Embody

"We brought the five heifers and
bull up to the agriculture complex in
Tallahassee and kindly forgot about,
theo," Conner says. "Pretty soon,
we had a little herd established.
Later, when the numbers increased,
we moved them down to Withla-
coochee State Forest near Brooks-
ville."
Not satisfied with merely estab-
lishing a state-protected herd of na-
tive cattle, Conner lobbied for
establishment of an organization
that would dedicate itself to the
preservation and perpetuation of the
breed. His efforts led to the forma-
tion of the Florida Cracker Cattle
Breeders Association (FCCBA),
which sets the standards for native
cattle and selects the animals to be
registered as foundation stock for
the continuation of the breed. Since
its inception in 1988, the FCCBA
has registered more than 600 head
of cattle as foundation stock.
One of the highlights of Conner's
association with Cattle Cracker
came in 1995, during Florida's bi-
centennial celebration. As part of
the festivities honoring the 150th
year of statehood, participants from
the state's 67 counties reenacted an
1800s cattle drive, complete with
1,000 head of cattle, 500 trail riders
.and 30 wagons. Called the Great
Florida Cattle Driver, the event
lasted five days and covered' 70
miles, from the Bud Adams Ranch
near Yeehaw Juriction to the Silver
Spurs Rodeo Arena in Kissimmee.
"It looked real authentic," Conner
says. "I brought along a small herd
of my Cracker Cattle. I was there
the whole week, from Monday to
Saturday. I rode my horse a little,
but mostly I drove a wagon, giving
rides to the VIPs and other dignitar-
ies, including the Governor, mem-

An idea that has long been in the
works is finally about to be put into
action.
At the initiation of the Chamber of
Commerce, elected officials from
the .city, the county and the school
district are scheduled to meet 6 p.m.
Thursday for a roundtable discus-
sion of sorts. The topic of discussion
will be "Increasing School Enroll-
ment as a Means to Economic De-
velopment".
The purpose of the discussion, ac-
cording to the event's promoters, "is
to begin a dialogue, develop ideas,
and hopefully, (plant) the seeds for a
plan of action to increase public
school enrollment."

Selected members of the business
community, moreover, will also be
invited to be part of the "think tank
aind strategy session," according to
the promoters.

"The participation and input of all
three bodies of local government is
critical to the success of this initia-
tive," states the chamber commu-
-niqu6. "And the Chamber of-
Commerce anticipates their enthusi-
astic response to this first intergov-
ernmental effort."
Needless to say, the public is in-'

State officials reports the District
School grade as a "D."
The "D" is calculated by averag-
ing the grades of the individual
schools, released in June, based on
student performance on the FCAT.
Grades for District Schools were:
Jefferson Elementary School, "F;"
Howard Middle School, "C;" and
Jefferson County High School, "D."
Comparing the current District
School Grades to those of 2004:
. Jefferson Elementary School fell
from a "C," which it held for two
years, to an "F."
Howard Middle School rose to a
"C," after two years of "D" grades.
Jefferson County High School is

After a 15 month of setbacks
since the church was destroyed by
fire, construction at Lamont Baptist
is moving along rapidly.
About two weeks ago the founda-
tion was poured and immediately
after the concrete hardened, decora-
tive block walls began to go up.
To date, all of the outer block
walls have been completed and
spokesman Gerald Bailey said
Wednesday afternoon that .they ex-
pected to have the crane come in
and start placing the trusses, on Fri-
day.
'.'The construction is going full-
steam," said Bailey. "There's a lot
of excitement going on."
He said that they have already ac-
quired the shingles and theN have
located the windows and doors re-,
quired for the building.
The main fear ofThe congregation
is not having enough funds to fi-

nance completing the project.
"We have enough for most of it,"
said Bailey, "but we don't wish to
go over budget."
Presently the possibilities of ei-
ther having the Campers on Mis-
sion, the group who comes south
every year for the fall and winter
months to build churches and fel-
lowship halls, and who built the
Elizabeth Baptist Fellowship Hall
nearly two years ago, or even ac-

quiring the assistance of a team of
men from the Middle Florida Bap-
tist Association, to finish the inte-
rior, are under consideration.
"A lot of them are carpenters and
blue collar workers with a lot of ex-
perience," Bailey added.
He said that the Lamont Baptist
Fire Fund is still active at Farmers
and Merchants Bank, and all dona-
tions are appreciated.

Parents Need Facts

"On Underage Drinking

Some parents may believe it's a
good idea to host a party and let
their teens and teens' friends drink
at home but these parents might
benefit from more facts about the le-
gal issues surrounding underage
drinking.
1 According to a new survey, con-
Oucted by Kelton Research and
commissionedd by Miller Brewing
Company, 88 percent of parents say
they don't know everything they
need to know about the legal conse-
quences of underage drinking for
their teens.
"Parents need to familiarize them-
selves with their role and the poten-
pial liabilities involved," said Chuck
Canterbury, president of the Na-
tional Fraternal Order of Police.
"Sadly, some parents and older
adults still believe underage drink-
ing of alcohol is a rite pf passage or
is okay as long as the car keys are
taken away. These beliefs send kids
mixed and dangerous messages."
The survey explored the issue of
underage drinking for parents and
teens.
"We wanted to know what was
missing from prevention education,"

said Diane Wagner, Miller Brewing
Responsibility Initiatives manager.
"This survey gives us insights to
create programs that directly and ef-
fectively reach parents."
The survey reveals that 55 percent
of parents believe their kids "defi-
nitely don't drink," although re-
search says at least 64 percent of
tenth graders have tried alcohol.
"Studies show most minors get al-
cohol from noncommercial sources..
Parents need to be aware and honest
with themselves about what is hap-
pening in their own homes what
alcohol is in the house and what 21-
year-old siblings on college break
may be providing to younger friends
and siblings," said Kari Kinnard,
state executive director, Wisconsin
Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Miller's Respect 21 program is de-
signed to help prevent underage ac-
cess and promote responsible
decision-making with parents and
teens. ., I. ,
Specifically, "Let's Talk and Let's
Keep Talking" help parents open a
dialogue about alcohol with younger
children and then continue that con-
versation with their teens.

Education

Odean advises against preferring to
hold municipal bonds in a qualified
plan rather than in a taxable
account, such as 39% of respondents
said they currently do.
"I think we need to' provide a basic
level of education about investments
for Americans. Individual Ameri-
cans are going to have to make these
very critical decisions on their own,
whereas the previous generations
had many of these decisions made
for them. Most people were in de-
fined benefit plans and the corporate
treasurer was making investment de-
cisions. Things are different for in-
vestors today," Odean affirmed.
Duncan W. Richardson, senior
vice president and chief equity in-

manager of Eaton Vance Tax-
Managed Portfolio, believes that
education on investing should start
in the early years. "24/7 availability

she began staring at my neck.
Not too long ago I heard from a
long lost friend. I inquired about his
father.
He said his father was fine but "he
falls down a lot."
I admit I didn't know quite what
to say to this.
By my calculations, his father
must be in his late 80's -or early
90's. So it's nice he's still around to
fall down.
I have noticed older people do
pretty well, for the most part. They
may drool a little, mumble and
wheeze, but they get where they
want to go.
One old fellow shocked his family
at the age of 92, he announced he
was planning a trip to Poland, the
country of his ancestors.
His children did their best to dis-
suade him. "You'll fall down," they
said. "You'll forget to take your
medicine. Who will take care of
your laundry? What happens if you
get sick?"
The old man was not convinced.
He went to Poland for a couple of
weeks and had a great time. His kids
were a nervous wreck, but he was
fine.
So what that he drooled and
wheezed a little!

improved disclosure and new regu-
lations have done little to save typi-
cal investors from themselves. If
given to our children before they en-
ter the work force, a "No Investor
Left Behind" course that covers
some basic principles to follow and
potholes to avoid could improve
each investor's chance of lifetime
success," said Richardson.
The dialogue was based on the re-
sults and implications of Eaton
Vance's sixth annual survey, a de-
tailed study of attitudes and prac-
tices about investing. The poll was
conducted among 1,000 U.S. resi-
dence who have invested in both
qualified retirement plans and in-
vestments outside of qualified retire-
ment plans (stock mutual funds,
bond mutual funds, individual
stocks, individual bonds, variable
annuities and money market funds).

the third week of November 2004.

Hospice Provides Many Services

BY CATHERINE ARNOLD
Community Relations

"I never realized what hospice
was all about until I was confronted
with a mother's worst nightmare.
The doctor diagnosed my son's dif-
ficulty breathing as a life-
threatening lung disease. Doctor af-
ter doctor told us that our
wonderful, full-of-life fifteen year-
old was going to die. They told us
that there was no hope. As I col-

lapsed in the 'arms of a neighbor
sobbing my heartbreak, she gently
asked if I had thought of calling
hospice. Of course not, my son did
not have cancer, plus he was only
fifteen not an old person! Hospice
wasn't for him."
Tragic. So many patients and
families suffer at the end of life sim-
ply because they do not know that
help and hope are as close as a
phone call to Big Bend Hospice.
Many people do not realize that

the only criterion for admission is a
medical diagnosis that the patient
has less than a year to live, if the
disease follows a normal course.
Fortunately, the neighbor insisted
that this young mother call Big
Bend Hospice and she found the
support that was needed to help her
son and her family through this dif-
ficult journey.
Big Bend Hospice was there to
add more life to his days when doc-
tors and medicine could no longer
add days to his life.

Big Bend Hospice, a community-
based nonprofit organization
founded in 1983 by local volunteers
looking for a better way to care for
their loved ones at the end of life,
provides services to those in our lo-
cal area Jefferson, Madison,
Taylor, Wakulla, Franklin, Liberty,
Gadsden and Leon counties.
Last year Big Bend Hospice
served more than 15,000 patients
and their families. in our eight-
county Big Bend region. Anyone

with a life-limiting illness is ac-
cepted without regard to age, race,
sex, nature of illness, national origin
or ability to pay.
When a patient is accepted for
hospice care, a Big Bend Hospice
team is assigned to work with the
patient and the patient's family. In
addition to the patient's personal
physician, a hospice nurse, a social
worker, a home health aide, and if
the family wishes, a chaplain, a mu-
sic therapist and trained volunteers
become the patient's care team.
This team works together to alle-
viate not only the physical pain and
symptoms associated with. the termi-
nal illness, the team provides emo-
tional, spiritual and psychological
support for the patient and family
members.
Each team has a local medical di-
rector who is experienced in end-of-
life care. In our community, Dr.
John MacKay serves as the local
medical director for Jefferson
County.
Confronted by a life-limiting diag-
nosis, the patient, the family and
loved-ones need the specialized
services that can help the patient en-
sure that wishes and goals for the
end of life are supported and that the-
patient is comfortable enough to en-
joy as much as possible the time left
with family and friends.

Big Bend Hospice offers unique
services that have far-reaching bene-
fits for the patient. One such service
is music therapy.
Board certified music therapists
work with the patient to help reduce
pain and increase the patient's well-
being through the therapeutic use of
music.
From relaxation to memory recall,
the music therapists develop pro-
grams to meet patient-specific
needs.
While most patients remain in
their homes, and many are able to
enjoy their daily routines within the
limits of their illnesses, some pa-
tients find it is not possible to stay at
home. For those patients, Big Bend
Hospice offers Hospice House.
Hospice House is a place for
short-term crisis care when 24-hours
medical support is required. This
homelike setting provides critical
patient care for problems like ag-
gressive treatment for pain control,
respiratory distress that has become
unmanageable and complex wound
care.
Hospice House also teaches the
family about complex medications
and treatments and offers a tranisi-
tion between hospital to home, nurs-
ing home or assisted living facility.
As a nonprofit organization, Big
Bend Hospice depends on commu-
nit5 support for all non-.
reimbursable expenses.

Brainstorm Fundraising Ideas

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

Fundraising was the major topic
of discussion at the recent com-
bined general and Board of Dirc-
tors meeting of the Humane Soci-
ety:
President Caroline Carswell re-
minded members of the need for
the fundraisers to enable the shelter
to run smoothly.
She said the most profitable of
all fundraisers has been the now.
annual "Bless the Beast Feast."
Members Jane Cleveland pro-
duced an article she located about
the Tallahassee animal shelter con-
ducting a large garage sale and re-
quiring donations.
"We-can do something like that,"
she added.
Members agreed that it would be
a good idea. One member suggestt-
ing that it may be a good idea to
also host a fish fry as the American
Legion does iiiinuall', during their
sale. .
"Let's find out when the Legion'
is 'hosting ,theirs, we don't want,
ours ,to conflict with theirs," said,
Carswell. She asked Cleveland to
oversee the event and Cleveland
agreed.
Carswell also advised that she
would need an average of six
weeks to properly prepare the event
and take up donations. They agreed
that the sale would be conducted in
either the end of Oct. or the begin-
ning of Nov.
Cleveland is leaning toward the
date of Nov. 5 as a. possibility for
the event.
Anyone interested in donating
items for the sale .can contact'
Cleveland at 997-3841., ,
Additional brainstorming during
the meeting included Martha Ca-
nady suggesting that the shelter_

.sponsor an Arts and Crafts show.,
"I know the art community well,"
said Canady. "I coordinated it
when the Lloyd Community Trust
did it and it made a lot of money-.
She added that all shelter mem-
bers had, to do was determine a
place to hold the event and sell the
spaces
The individual artists would pro-
vide their own tents, tables and re-
quired items.,
Members agreed that the event
,would be best held in the Spring,
and Canady agreed to coordinate
it.
Martha Jean Martin suggested the
sale of Humane Society T-shirts
during adoption booths and other
events. '.'It would be great to get
the kids in the community
involved," said Martin.
"We can have the kids draw ani-
mal related art, Eero.%ne loves
lhai." she added. "Then we can
award prizes for first, second and
third place winners'"

Lane Closure

on -10 Wed.

Florida Department of Transporta-
tion alerts motorists of a temporary
lane closure on 1-10 at the Aucilla
River Bridge, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Wednesday.
Motorists traveling eastbound on
1-10, near the Jefferson/Madison
County line will encounter delays.
Weather permitting, Peavy Con-
strution crews will make asphalt re-
pairs in both eastbound lanes at the
Aucilla River Bridge approach, near
mile marker 234.
One lane of traffic will be main-
tained.

Martin said the winners picture
could be-used on the T-shirts and
they-could even have all submitted
art work printed on a calendar,
Christmas cards, thank you notes
and other related items and sell
them.
Members were fond of the idea
and suggested that Martin and Tina
Ames work on it together.
Caroline Carswell added that she
would coordinate the "Bless the
Beast Feast", a chicken and iib din-
ner sale,'a trail ride on her property
and mentioned the possibility of a
tractor raffle.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
members agreed that they were all
going to be very busy coordinating
these worthwhile events to benefit
the homeless animals at the shelter.
Anyone wishing to assist with
these events, make donations to-
N\ ard an, of them or requiring addi-
tionfal information can contact the

With school opening on the hori-
zon, the American Optometric As-
sociation stresses the need for
regular screening.
While most schools offer vision
screenings periodically, these tests
are not adequate because they are
generally not administered by op-
tometrists, focus on visual acuity
(clarity at a distance) and few
schoolsffteste'er, ear :
The American Foundation For
Vision Awareness (AFVA) reports
that school screening systems only
identify one out of every four chil-
dren who have vision problems.
To succeed in' the classroom,
children must be able to do more
than simply read the background
from 20 'feet away (the standard
gauge in the Snellen test most often
used in eye screenings).
Many learning tasks involve up
close reading that requires a variety
of focusing, scanning, and visual
coordination skills to make sense of
the words on the paper or computer
screen.
Since vision is a learned skill,
children with vision problems often
are not aware of them because they_

Early detection is important be-
cause the sooner treatment begins,
the greater a child's chance of de-
veloping normal vision., Some
signs to look for are:
Complaints of only being able
to read for brief periods of time.
Headaches, eye strain,, nausea,
dizziness or motion sickness.
Double vision.,
Holding books or other items
unusually close to the face.
Closing ,one eye or covering itv
with a hand when reading. '
Twisting or tilting the head to
favor one eye.
Tiring easily after short reading
sessions and/or rubbing the eyes.
Using a finger, when reading
and/or often losing his/her place.
Poor eye-hand coordination.
Excessive blinking or squinting.
One eye drifting in a different
direction, even if this only happens
when the child is tired or stressed.
Poor reading comprehension.
Disorganization and frustration
when studying visual information.
Difficulty remembering spell-

Inability to stay on task.

Monroe Family Ministry

'Porch De Salomon'

Planned In Guatemala

RAY CICHON
Managing Editor

The Monroe Family, of Wau-
keenah has been involved in mis-
sion work, dating back to the
1980's, when Betty Monroe many
mission trips to Haiti.
This planted the seed with her
oldest son, Lloyd to carry out such
work with his family.
With his wife, Melanie, and chil-
dren Daniel and Asa, Lloyd will de-
part for Guatemala, Aug. 18, to
undertake their multifaceted minis-
try, "Porch de Salomon."
Their brochure explains that
Christ worked in "Solomon's
Porch," (John 10), as described in
Acts 5, as a place for believers to
meet for ministry, and a sending
point for them to take Christ's mes-
sage into the world.
Joining the Monroes in this minis-
try are Lloyd's sister Suzanne
Smith, and her husband Bill, who
,,left Sunday for Guatemala.
The two families, along with their
friend, Mark Ford, are leaving their
i homes and jobs to do missionary
work in Panajachel, Guatemala.
Lloyd is a successful trial lawyer
with the firm of Coppins, Monroe,
Adkins, Dincman, and Spellman, in
STallahassee.
The Smiths own the Higher
Grounds Cafe, where they operate
Solomon's Coffee and Tea Com-
pany. They roast their own coffee
beans which are sold in restaurants
and health food stores.
Monroe describes their mission
group as an organism, because it
constantly grows and changes, and
,.challenges other Christians to be
'obedient and do whatever God calls
them to do.
"I've not always been obedient,"
Monroe said.
His wife, Melanie, went to Cuba
in 1999, and the couple returned to
Cuba in 2000 to visit a sister church
Sof their home church, Waukeenah
United Methodist.

"We saw what we .thought Chris-
tians should be," he said.
"Cuba is lively, daring and fun,"
Melanie said. "We hope to bring a
little of that contemporary service to
Gautemala.
It was while working in Guate-
mala with the Smiths, who moved
there in 2001 to perform missionary
work with the poor in Panajachel,
that Lloyd became aware of what he
called the "expatriate" community.
These are the many Anglo-
Americans who have fled there for
whatever reason.
When he learned that no one was
serving these people, he devised the
plan for "Porch de Salomon."
The two families received permis-
sion to use an abandoned United
Methodist Church building, where
they will hold worship services and
house missionary teams.
The Monroes will use primarily
their own financial assets for living
expenses, and will rent out their pas-
ture and an apartment over their
barn.
Patricia and David Morrissey will
rent the apartment, and manage the
coffee business to fund the Smith's
expenses.
The organism will be self sustain-
ing, and all donations will go toward
the missions.
The mission will also receive help
from the 15-20 different churches
that support them....
Originally the. Smiths wanted to
start a ministry for the homeless in
the United States .
However, they felt a strong con-
-nection to Guatemala, which was
the second international move for
the couple, who returned to this
country to have their son in 2003.
They have done full time volun-,
teer mission work with the United
Methodist Volunteers in Missions
since 1998.
They were resident missionaries in
France, in 1999, and have worked
short and long term missions in
Nicaragua, Cuba, Honduras, and
Mexico, doing construction projects,
and assisting medical teams.

It was from a Christian family i
Guatemala, who invited the Smiti
to their home, that Bill learned ho'
to roast coffee.
The families describe their minis
try in Guatemala as multifaceted be
cause they plan to operate
Christian Coffee House and nigh
club to offer a different view of lif
to the expatriates, offer clothing
and feeding programs through stre(
ministries for the poor, and to pr<
vide support for individuals ar
missionary teams who come to hel
One aspect of the families' mini
try will focus on the "Anglo" exp
triates and tourists who flock
Panajchel, where there is a stror
need for culturally-current loc
ministries.
The Monroe family consists
gifted musicians, and has much
offer the expatriate population
Panajachel and people of the su
rounding Lake area.
The Christian Coffee House/Chl
will be used as a coffee house,
club, and a worship area for a mus
driven ministry.
Mission Team support will pr
vide staging/living areas and logis
cal support for short term missic
teams interested in ministering
native villages around Panajachel.
Individuals and congregation
who will covenant to pray for t
families and their ministry
sought.
They are interested in shari
their ministry with other church
and mission-minded individuals a
groups.
Financial support is sought in t
form of tax-deductible, montt
pledges, or one time gifts.
Donations will fund the missi
expenses with virtually no admin
trative expenses.
Citizens are asked to consider hi
they can help support the "Porch
Salomon."
Donors will receive a montl
newsletter, "Porch Talk."

Monticello Christian Academy
(MCA) will celebrate its opening
with a dedication ceremony at 3
p.m. on Sunday, July 31, 1590
North Jefferson Street.
Rev. Carl Hanks is the guest
speaker, with Pastors John Dodson
and Mike Burke presiding over the
ceremony.
Teachers Debbie Lingle and Dan- .
ielle Matthews will provide the mu-"
sic for this special occasion.
Light refreshments will be served
in the Family Life Center.
Limited space is still available for
the upcoming school year.
Grades K to 5 are filled, and a
waiting list is avialable.
Some seating is available in
grades 6-12.
A total of 46 children are enrolled
to date.
Each teacher will work with up to
13 children.

Information and a registration
packet is available from Burke at
997-6048.
Open house will be held from 6-8
p.m. on Monday and Tuesday,
August 1 and 2.
As a ministry of the Monticello
Church of the Nazarene, the acad-
emy will offer affordable, quality
education based on Biblical truth for
grades K-12 in an atmosphere where
students can mature spiritually, aca-
demically, physically, and socially.
Areas of study will include Lan-
guage Arts, Mathematics, History,
Geography, Science, Bible lessons,
and electives such as Art, Civics,

Literature, and Home Economics.

year units composed of ten work-
books per subject.
The flexible curriculum allows
students to work through the mate-
rial at their own pace and can be
customized to fit their particular
needs.

The Tiger football team has been
working diligently over the past
weeks, meeting four days per week
in preparation for the upcoming
season.
Head Coach Harry Jacobs said
that approximately 34 players have
been working on conditioning, en-
durance skills and strength, to in-
clude such exercises as weight lift-
ing, running and the obstacle
course.
"That's good for building the
team back up to strength after be-
ing out for the summer," said Ja-
cobs. "We've got to keep it up and
go right into the season."
Recently, the Tigers participated
in a passing league (7-on-7) with
teams from both Perry and Madi-
son, playing each team twice. If
the results of the four games reflect
the' upcoming season, the Tigers
will do very well.
"We beat Perry twice and we beat
Madison once," said Jacobs.
He added that he expects the sea-
son to be as good if not better than
this year, with many players return-
ing.

Only five of last year's starters,
all seniors, are not returning. They
include Darnell Brooks, Carlton
Hill, Markyce Larry, Freddie Scott
and J. R. Sloan.
Those Tigers expected to return
next year include Marcus Benja-.
men, Jitavian Bennett, LaMarcus
Bennett, Chris Branham, Brian
Brock, Marcus Brown, Quantez
Burke, Camell Cooksey, Jonathan
Dady, Clarence Fead, Ron Graham
and Demetrius Hicks.
Also, Desrick Jones, Robert
Nealy, Malcolm Norton, Scotty.
Norton, Breon Parker, Mario Riv-
ers, Monterius Rivers, and Joshua
Sego.
Also, Antwan .Tim, Dondre Ty-.

Healthy Weight Loss available only at
Jackson's Drugs, Hoodiacol is
designed to curb the appetite, burn fat
and increase energy levels resulting in
considerable weight loss over time.
Hoodiacol consist of 3 key ingredients
incorporated into rice bran oil with
natural flavoring to give it a palpable
taste. In addition to weight loss, you
may see benefits for the hair, skin and
nails from the Omega 3 and Omega 6
found in rice bran oil. Hoodia
gordonii is a cactus found in the
Kalahari Desert of South Africa.
Unsurpassed as an appetite
suppressant, it not only limits appetite
but increases the sense of satiety. This
tends to limit total caloric intake by
30-40% without experiencing hunger.
Significant weight loss should result
from such a drop in caloric intake.
