City, County Explore

Idea Of Sewer System

iLAZARO ALEMAN
jSenior Staff Writer

City and county officials and
other interested parties continue ex-
ploring the possibility of establish-
ing a central sewer system and treat-
ment plant, preferably in the Lloyd
area.
In pursuit of that goal, city and
county officials met recently and
agreed in principle to seek funding
for a study to determine the feasibil-
ity of such a project. Expected cost
of the study is about $65,0000.
Officials are hopeful that grant
funds will be available to pay for
portion of the study. They are hope-
4ful that low interest loans will also
be available to pay the balance.

Costly Study
Is First Step i
The question that remains is how
liability for the payback of the loan
will be distributed between the city
and county, in the event a loan is se-
cured.
County Attorney Buck Bird is
supposed to be drawing up the inter-
local government agreement that
spells out the exact responsibility of
each governmental entity for pay-
back of the loan.
Exploration of a central sewer sys-
tem in the Lloyd area started about
eight months ago with the formation -
of the Jefferson County Utility De-
velopment Committee.

Concerns about the environment
and economic development report-
edly triggered formation of the
group.
According to committee spokes-
man Dick Bailar, worries about the
proliferation of septic tanks (which
have the potential to harm the aqui-
fer), in combination with the desire
to spur economic development
(which a central sewer system
would do), prompted the group to
act.
1 Bailar described the committee as'
being comprised of city and county
officials, business community repre-
sentatives and area property owners
with land holdings that 'had the po-
tential for development.

Hall Calls For Night Meetings

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

A commissioner's suggestion that
'the County Commission change its
(regular morning meeting to evening
Ito make it more convenient for
citizens to participate in the

-discussions went nowhere.
Commissioner Eugene Hall's
motion to change the 9 a.m.
first-Thursday-of-the-month
meeting to 6 p.m. died for the lack
of a second.
The main reason for the daytime
meetings, the other commissioners
explained, was to make it conven-

ient for department heads to report
to the board. Too, all public hear-
ings and one of the two monthly
meetings were held in the evening,
they pointed out.
"We have always had morning
meetings when the staff and the
state agencies give their reports,"
Commissioner Junior Tuten said.
"Evenings are for the public hear-
ings. No one has been penalized by
day meetings."
Commissioner Jerry Sutphin
added that until he had moved to
Jefferson County, he had never
heard of commissions holding eve-
ning meetings.
It was his further observation that
"the majority of people show up at
meeting when they are against
something, not when they're for
something."
Hall argued to no avail that the
convenience of department heads
should not take .precedent over the
convenience of citizens.
"This is a working class commu-
nity," Hall said. "Most counties
around us hold meetings at a time
when the working class people can
attend. Meeting are held for the
benefit of the public, not for the
benefit of the staff. Department
heads are the highest paid persons in
the departments."

A joint meeting of the Planning
and County commissions on Thurs-
day to discuss procedures and ad-
vertisements generated a lot of talk,
but no solutions per se.
Topics of discussions reportedly
ranged from how to assure proper
notification of property owners near
proposed developments, to the need
for adherence to the checklist that
developers must follow when mak-
ing an application, to what should
be the appropriate wording on
signage, to clustering.
One participant described the
hour-and-a-half long meeting as
really more of a brainstorming ses-
sion.
The one reported accomplishment

was agreement on how the county
will assure the accuracy of the certi-
fied list that is handed to developers
for the notification of property own-
ers living near a proposed develop-
ment.
Several times in the recent past,
public hearings have had to be re-
scheduled because of the failure of
the developer to notify all adjacent
property owners of a proposed de-
velopment.
The developer's excuse has been
that he depended on the certified list
provided by the Property Ap-
praiser's office for the mail-out.
It turns out.that the Property Ap-
praiser's certified list is produced
each January and doesn't include
persons who have purchased prop-
erty in the interim.
The new procedure entails the
Planning Department supplying de-

7 Applicants Vie For

Job Of Grants Writer

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Seven individuals have applied for
the job of grants writer, a position
that will now report directly to the
commission and seek grants on be-
half of all county departments.
Commissioners have scheduled a 9
a.m. Wednesday workshop to begin
interviewing the seven candidates.
The workshop is scheduled to take
place in the library conference
room.
Commissioners hope to have the
new person aboard as soon as possi-
ble, so that the individual can begin
the task of researching and seeking
grants.
Previously, the grants writer
headed the Grants Office, which de-
partment the commission more or
less abolished in recent months.

Functions formerly performed by
the Grants Office were either con-
tracted to private entities or distrib-
uted to other departments.,
The thinking behind the restruc-
turing was that many of the func-
tions performed by the Grants
Office were rightfully housing is-
sues, which. distracted from the
grant writing and related activities.
Commissioners want the new per-
son to concentrate his or her efforts
on the search, attainment and ad-
ministration of grants.
At the same workshop, commis-
sioners plan to review the bids for
the architectural services that are
needed for the remodeling of the
former high school buildings into
county offices.
The Legislature awarded the
county $500,000 for the remodeling
effort in the last session.

velopers with a checklist that will
ensure a more clear communiication
with the Property Appraiser's office.
Thus, it is the expectation, the latter
will supply developers with the lat-
est information relative to the own-
ers of properties near proposed
developments.
Planners and commissioners also
agreed to hold a second workshop to
review the items on the checklist
that is handed to developers. The
idea is to determine if items need to
be added or deleted from the list.
It has been a complaint of plan-
ners in the past that the checklist is
often not strictly followed. Meaning
that applications not infrequently
come before them for a discussion
before all the required paperwork
and related documents have been
completed.
Finally, planners and commission-
ers briefly discussed what steps
might be taken to eliminate the er-
rors in the legal and other advertise-
ments that have forced rescheduling
of hearings.

Fed Money

Earmarked

For Roads

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Word is that the county could be
S' getting as much as $155,000 from
the federal government for the re-
-': pair of roads damaged by Hurricane
:i? Dennis in early July.

Road Department Superintendent
David Harvey reported the figure to
the County Commission at recent
meeting He said the funding would
be coming from the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency
(FEMA).
According to the funding formula,
the state and county are responsible
for 25 percent of the project's
amount. But Harvey said efforts are
being made to get the county's share
waived, based on its designation as
a region of economic necessity.
If the requirement is waived, the
county would receive the full
$155,000.
Harvey said the two roads hardest
hit by the storm were Goose Pasture
Road and O'Neal Tram, both in the
southernmost part of the county. He
explained that although the hurri-
cane struck near Pensacola, feeder
bands dumped much rain here, caus-
ing flooding and washouts.
Whether the FEMA money will
do the job is another question. Har-
vey underscored that FEMA puts its
own estimate on the cost of road re-
pairs. Too, the repairs are intended
to restore the roads to pre-storm
conditions, not improve them.
As it is, the Road Department will
not be doing the work. Rather, the
job will be bid out to a private con-
tractor. Consultant engineer Frank
Darabi and Associates supposedly
are working up the specifications for
the road repairs.
The expectation is that the FEMA
money will be coming soon.
The county received $140,000
from FEMA last year for the repair
of roads damaged by the four hurri-
canes that swept through the area.

Distractions Lead

To Many Accidents

Anyone who is surprised at the
number of accidents caused by dis-
tracted drivers has not been paying
attention.
I' n a recent survey by Farmers In-.
surance Group of Companies, more'
than 80 percent of drivers said they
don't drive as well when they are
subject to distractions.
; Eighty-three percent acknowl-
edged that it's harder to concentrate
on driving while engaging in activi-
ties such as eating or drinking, talk-
ing on their cell phones adjusting
radios or CD players.

SA study by the New England Jour-
&al of Medicine found :h.it talking

on a mobile phone while driving
quadruples the risk of an accident -
a rate similar to that of drunk driv-
ing.
More than seven in 10 said motor-
ists who use handheld .cell phones
should be subject to -a penalty or
fine.
In addition, nearly two thirds (63
percent) of those polled favored
stricter driving rules for teens, limit-
ing the number of passengers young
drivers may carry. The NHTSA
found 16-year-old drivers were 50
percent more likely to be ,killed
when there is another passenger in
the vehicle.
The following tips help prevent
drivers from becoming distracted:
Make adjustments to radios,
seats, air conditioning and mirrors
before prain'i the vehicle in gear.
Review map directions before
getting on the road.
Refiein fioin reading in the car.
Even a glance could cause you to
miscalculate the response to the ve-
hicle in front of you,
Do not reach for items in the

BY TOM DEWEESE
Columnist

We have been warning for years
that they were using the exact same
play book used to destroy the smok-
ing industry. .Now the food police
have what they've been looking for.
A special report that says french
fries cause cancer. There's no proof
to the claim, of course. Just a Swiss
study done three years ago that said
Acrylamide, a by product of chemi-
cals and high heat found in deep
fried foods might have a link to can-
cer.
In fact, since that study first came
out, there have been several more is-
sued to dispute it. There is no peer-
reviewed, sound science to prove
the statement. But one disputed arti-
cle is all it took.
Suddenly, after three years, the

food police decided it was in their
interest to resurrect the study and
make an issue of it.
Now, true to the play book, the at-
torney general of the' State of Cali-
-fornia. Bill Lockyer, is calling for
warning labels on potato chips and
fries.
The attorney General lost no time
in filing law suits against nine food
chains and snack-food makers, in-
cluding McDonalds. Wendy's, and
Frito Lay.
However, as Frank Muir of the
Idaho Potato Industry pointed out,
'"We've been eating Acrylamide
ince man invented fire. Ever since
.c started cooking F:.ds. there's
been Acrylamide that we've been
consuming."
SV'h,. is the California Attorney
General in such a haste to force the
heavy hand of the law into the mar-
ket place ,i again? Do you know

how much money states have made
through class action .suits against
cigarette manufacturers?
This is a new a way to raise state
revenue without having to raise
taxes.
It's kind of a new Eminent Do-
main scheme where government just
grabs a company's profits when it
wants to.
First the warning labels, then the
suits in the name of the poor victims
of the potato chip profit mongers.
This is how we do things in Amer-
ica now. An unsubstantiated report
(perhaps even just a news release)
i.o"i a group or individual that has a
pol'i.',: agenda. The perpetrators
know it's coming. They prepare be-
hind the scenes and, suddenly, we
have an instant nationwide outcry
for '.,' eth.:' to be done."
..,.,'i::':.eVt officials puff up to
the microphone to tell us how they

are- protecting us all.
The lawyers just want to get "jus-
tice" for the preselected, ready-made
clients. And another American right
disappears for the common good,
of course.
As Attorney General Lockyer
says, "I'm not telling them to stop
eating potato chips and french
fries..." The arrogance of that
thought should speak volumes about
how this guy thinks.
He certainly does think he has the
power to tell us to stop doing things
in our everyday lives if he can find
.the right excuse to scare people and
stampede them in the right direction.

By the way, just for the record,
there never Was a peer-reviewed sci-
entific report that proved second
hand smoke ever existed, either.
It was just an internal report at the
EPA, put out in a press release.

Who Handles Hard Times Best?

BY TRAVIS HUSSEY
Columnist

Throughout the years, I have no-
ticed the best way to get the atten-
tion of some Americans, in regards
to an issue that is having an ill effect
on the citizens of this country, is for
something to come between an indi-
vidual and his wallet and / or be-
tween an individual and his televi-
sion remote..
In other words, many people do
not care to get involved in a matter
that is against the good of mankind-
(even. when it negatively affects
their family) unless it comes be-
tween them and their television en-
tertainment and / or their money.
Put another way, numbers of peo-
ple in this country do not seem to

give a hang about what is hli..:.,ci'.'
to their government, their schools,,
their economy, and in some cases
their families.
In short, when it comes to numer-
ous issues, .iuio.' citizens seem to be
of the mindset: As long as it does
not affect me. I am not going to
worry about it,
. What so many people do not seem
to realize is that there are many is-
sues and concerns taking place
every day that can have a direct or
indirect effect on their :'m-.--. menit-
bers.
Some ,,t ,i:,' may have an minme-
diate effect and some may not have
an effect until nimoths or even years
dow8 the road. EiSier way, the po-
tential effect is there and can have
negative ,- -. v-- ,'..
The one exception I have found to

the above is when this country, has
some type of i.':. then the peo-
ple of this nation raily together like
.'',d'J'. 's business. However, in this
piece, I am not referring to disasters.
I wonder how many people in this
country kep 'n contact with his /
her local state and federal represen-
tatives concerning their government
and the issues of their community,
stale, and this nation.- -
It seems that most of us live a fast-
paced routine. As a rule. this has us
so wrapped up that we are unable to
see any rti.'r tihan the end of our
individual and collective nose(.sI-
Of course, mosi of us are busy
making a 1- i:j.: However, it seems
dtal n:.'.r', of us have long passed
the point of making a living and are
berm on chasing after more money
because ,our standard of livmig is so

high. Then some enjoy going after
dollars just for the desire for more
money.
It is a shame that we have raised
the standard of living in this country
to a level that tiljii., once consid-
ered to be a convenience, (actually
these things still are a convenience)
are now considered, by many, to be
a necessity.
We live in a society in which any-
one, with good or bad credit and
even bankruptcy can buy anything,
on credit, whether it is a necessity, a
convenience, or a luxury. There is
no doubt in my mind this helped
raise the standard of living in this
country to such a level dithat one day;
we will all pay in one way or an-
other. For this, we can pal only our-

Program Volunteers

To Mentor Students

DEBBIE SNAPP
Staff Writer

The School Mentoring Program,
as it has been known in public
schools here, winds to a stop, as
grant funds providing monies for the
program end, as of Sept. 30.
To replace this grant funded pro-
gram, the Governor's Office has de-
vised the Florida Mentoring
Partnership Program, titled "Focus
on Achievement."
Because of its F rating based on
the 2005 FCAT, Jefferson Elemen-
tary School is part of this pilot vol-
unteer mentoring program, designed
especially for elementary schools.
Mayor Julie Conley, as well as
other Florida City Mayors, with ele-
mentary schools earning an F rating,
have been asked to be honorary
chairmen and take the initiative to
recruit community leaders from
businesses, corporations, faith based
organizations, government offices,
Department of Education members;
and local dignitaries, and the like, to
work with them on this mentoring

mission.
As there is no state funding tied in
with this program, it becomes vol-
unteer effort on the part of the com-
munity.
Community volunteers are asked
to commit one hour a week before
or after school hours, and to spend
this quality time with FCAT Level I
and 2 students, helping the students
their, areas of deficiencies.
Conley adds that the Volunteer
Florida Foundation that administers
the mentoring partnership is helping
to form a plan of action in the im-
plementing of this mentoring pro-
gram for JES.

As she digests the general infor-
mation the state provided, Conley is
in the process of scheduling ap-
pointments with Sandra Collins,
principal of JES and with Superin-
tendent Phil Barker, to determine
how best to implement the oroeram.
When this is determined, infor-
mation will be published in the
Monticello News, as plans are de-
veloped.

SOUTHEAST REGIONAL
CANCER CENTER
A MEMBER OF NORTH FLORIDA CANCER CARE NETWORK
A diagnosis of cancer can be devastating. However with
today's modem technologies the diagnosis of cancer does
not mean what it once did. The diagnosis of cancer
involves the attempt to accurately identify the site of ori-
gin of the malignancy and the type of cells involved, as
well as all parts of the body that might be affected. The
information may determine how the cancer will behave
and whether or not the cancer is likely to cause symptoms
and problems. There are many signs and symptoms that
may indicate the existence of cancer. The symptoms
maybe detected through imaging studies, (CT, MRI, Pet
Scan's). These symptoms may also be confirmed by blood
tests. Although these tests are not completely conclusive
on their own they are important clues your doctor uses to
put the whole picture in prospective. For example a fecal
occult test can indicate a variety of problems, while a
biopsy of tissue is the preferred method to establish a can-
cer diagnosis. With proper detective work, we can use
modem techniques to make your life better not just treat
you. It's not just about treating your cancer. It's making
your life better.

The average increase in the price
manufacturers charge for bran,

ued to substantially exceed the rat,
of general inflation through March. 2005
according to the A.-\ARP "R\ Watchdo

ha'.e tailed to keep their price increase min line \itll

ber, and the public about ho\\ best to find the mos

More than one-halt of the drugs in the sample
110 of 195. had incieaes in manufacturer price
durinn the period Irom December 31. 2004 through
March 31. 2005. .As a result of this and
increases in recent \ears,. a typical older
American is likely\ to ha\e experienced an
increase, on average. in the cost of therapy\
trom the year 2000 through March 31. 2005
of $866.16 if the drugs are brand name prod-
ucts used to treat chronic conditions and the
full price increases were passed along to the
., consumer.
A second report. "Trends in
. Manufacturer List Prices of Generic
SPrescription Drugs Used By Older
Americans First Quarter 2005 Update",
states that manufacturer list prces for the
sample of 75 generic drugs rose only by 0.7
percent in the 12-months ending on March
31. 2005. While this is a slight increase
compared to the 12-month period ending on
December 31, 2004. it represents a substan-

tial slo ing compared to the dramat-
ic rates of increase for 2001 17.8 per-
cent), 2002 115.8 percent and 2003
113.3 percent). Furthermore, the report
states that in the first quarter of 2005. only three out
of the 75 generic drugs in the sample had an
increase in manufacturer list price.
AARP is helping states find \\ays to looer the
cost ot prescription drugs for their Medicaid and

support legislation that \\ill legalize the safe renm-
portation of prescription druIgs from Canada and

Repeatedly. throughout history,
the old rule of suppl:, arid demand
has been p &ovri.Jritoda)"s soclegr.
this is certainly the case
In general, our standard of living
is sky high. Products (convenience
and luxury items) are very expen-
sive yet, members of society as a
whole, continue to buy -hese items,
many'-on credit, like there % ill be no
tomorrow.
Again, we are our own worst en-
emy in this respect. This- I'pe of:,
consumer spending will certainly
not help the prices go down,. To the
contrary, the prices rise because of
the public's, demand.
A few decades ago, more and
more women began to join the work
force. Therefore, another reason
why consumer prices began to rise
because this movement brought on
more of the supply and demand.
History shows us examples, in
most any avenue of life, where one
extreme followed another. The
economy of this country is no ex-
ception. ,.
The standard of liviig,,'in this
country, is so much higher than it
was, say, thirty years ago, that many
people in our society, especially the
younger generations, do 'not know
the difference between necessity ,
convenience, or luxury. 'We, the
older ones, can take much' of the
credit for this. '"
It is not a matter of-if- extreme fi-
nancial hard times are coming. Ac-
tually, hard times are on; the way
now. So, it is only a matter of time
before they arrive in full force. Fur-
thermore, these times may be just as
tough and hard as those of the great
depression were. They may be more
difficult! -,
I believe when these extreme hard
'financial times arrive, people who
are use to having the least will with-
stand the elements of this financial
crunch, the best.
When you get down to it many, if
not most of us, in the United States
of America, have a whole heap
more than we need.

Both Monticello Christian Acad-

an 0-1 season after receiving an
emergency call Friday morning
postponing the games.
-Pastor Mike Burke said both
games have been rescheduled for
Nov. 5.
"The coach called and said they
had an emergency at the school and
had to postpone the games," said
Burke. "He called back later in the
day to explain that a sewer pipe had
broken and was backing up in the
gym, so instead of taking just the
flag football team, we agreed to go
ahead and reschedule both games."
The boys and the girls will face
off against Grace Church of God in
Baldwin Friday.
"I think the girls will do good,
but it's hard to say about the boys,"
said Burke. "We didn't get a good
look at their team during the Jam-
boree, so we really don't know
what to expect, hopefully, they'll
do fine."

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. jk
Significant weight loss should result
from such a drop in caloric intake.

"The information was outdated,
but the dog had been adopted by
Tammy Jackson, so when I couldn't
contact her, I made posters figuring
that someone. in the area had to
know of Tia and how she got here."
Curis hung the posters up and
down US 19 and placed an ad in
the "Monticello News."
The poster included the name of
the owner and a description of the
dog.
Tammy Richards, an employee at
the Rare Door, knew that her co-
worker, Tammy Jackson was
searching for her missing dog.
She alerted Jackson to the posters.

After being advised of the post-
ers by Richards on Sunday, Jack-
son quickly called Curtis, and the
family went to the Curtis home to
reclaim their pet.
"When they approached, you
wouldn't believe it, but that dog
scaled an eight foot fence to greet
them, she was so excited," Curtis
said.
After the ordeal, both Jackson and
Curtis laughed about the situation.
"Cay thought she was lost, we just
knew that she was missing," said
Jackson.

Two recently received Department
of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Grants are
about to be implemented in the
county.
The Jefferson County Youth
Council is accepting resumes for
two student advocate positions.
A detailed help wanted ad with all
the specifics is printed in the
Wednesday, Sept. 21 edition of the
Monticello News.
Officials plan to fill the positions
,,,by Oct. 1.
In January of this year the DJJ
awarded Jefferson County a $65,
000 grant for the implementation of
an intervention plan that aims to
keep at-risk youths out of the juve-
nile justice system.
This is offered to youths with no
criminal record, and first offense
misdemeanors.
This program gives law enforce-
ment officers another tool to combat
. juvenile delinquency.
It gives officers the discretion to
!cite youthful offenders, instead of
arresting them, depending on the na-
ture and the severity of the offense.
A teen court will be established

and put into place to hand down
punishment in specific cases.
Upon completion of a court or-
dered assignment the individual will
have no criminal record.
The DJJ will fund the program
for the first year.

The plan calls for the involvement
of Judge Bobby Plains, Sheriff
David Hobbs, Police Chief David
Frisby and School Nurse Gladys
Roann.
In June, DJJ awarded another
$33,000 to the council for the pro-
gram.
The grant monies will allow for
the hiring of a full time individual to
coordinate the program activities
and collect the appropriate data for
establishing and monitoring com-
munity work sites and to coordinate
alternative referrals to intervention
programs.
The staff person will also coordi-
nate the County Teen Court, assur-
ing effective communications
between the programs, the judiciary,
and the local law enforcement agen-
cies.
Special emphasis in that commu-
nication will be placed in keeping
the law enforcement officer, making
the referral to the program, informed

as to the juvenile's status and pro-
gress.
The full time position will also in-
clude the keeping and maintaining
of records and collecting data re-
quired by the 4Florida Department
of Juvenile Justice.
Judge Plaines has been innovative
in establishing the Teen Court and
has committed to lend his efforts to
assist in a successful implementa-
tion of the Civil Citation program.
The program is expected to get
underway soon, and will be oper-
ated out of the Teen Center near the
old high school on Water Street.
