RAY CICHON
Managing Editor

Ernest Fulford will represent the
County at the North Florida Fair As-
sociation's 51st Outstanding Farm
Family Weekend, Saturday, Nov. 5,
,in Tallahassee.
This distinguished .award is pre-
'sented annually to individual fami-
lies from each of the. 24 counties
participating in the North Florida
Fair, which opens Nov. 3, and con-
tinues through Nov. 13.
The award, presented to a family
involved in agriculture, and civic
and community organizations, is
one that. sets superior standards for
family values, as well as being good
neighbors.
Families will arrive in Tallahassee
Saturday, Nov. 5, and are guests of
the Fair. That same evening, a spe-
cial banquet will be held in honor of
the respective Farm Families.


A plaque is awarded to each fam-
ily and pictures are taken to mark
the occasion.
The special weekend concludes
with a Farm Family Breakfast, Sun-
day, Nov. 6.
Fulford has three children, includ-
ing Clay, 13, in the eight grade,
Kayla, 10, in the fourth grade, and
Katie, 7, in the second grade.
The children attend Aucilla Chris-
tian Academy.
The family farms 1,600 acres of
row crops including peanuts, grain
sorghum, cotton, and green peanuts
for boiling.
Family members working on the
farm include Fulford's son Clay, his
father Burry. Fulford, uncle Gary,
Fulford, and cousin Stephen
Fulford.
Fulford has been farming for some
25 years. He is a third generation
farmer. His grandfather began farm-
ing in 1945 after he completed serv-
ice in WW II.


His father carried on the tradition
and love of farming.
Fulford is active in church activi-
ties, at Olive Baptist Church, and
serves as a board member with Jef
ferson County Farm Bureau.
He also serves on the Peanut anc
Cotton State Advisory Committee
for the Florida Farm Bureau.
In the past, he has served on the
Young Farmers and. Ranchers State
Committee for the Florida Farm Bu
reau.

Fulford's future plans include
finding new ways to keep farming
profitable, so he can pass the tradi
tion on to his son.
He states: "In today's times it i
getting harder and harder to make
profit from farming.
"I want to continue to raise m'
children' in a way to instill the val
ues of hard work and perseverance
he concludes."


Friday night's Hometown Get-
:Down was deemed a huge success
by its coordinators, with approxi-,
mately 500 residents attending the
'downtown event.
Event spokesperson Erica Imbru-
none said local merchants kept
their businesses open until past 9
p.m., with many holding drawings
for door prizes.
In ,addition, dozens of booths
lined East Dogwood Street and
parts of North Cherry Street. Not
to mention the Mariachis Band
n playing in front of the new Mexi-
c.- an Restaurant just north of the old
library.
The items in the booths varied
from food and beverages (including
beer and wine), to local wares, to
d the Big Bend Ghost Trackers, to
e the Humane Society adoption
booth, to local arts and crafts.
Local businesses donated items
e for the raffle, which raised over
_ $1,000 for hurricane relief. In addi-
tion, the local businesses awarded
some 30 gift certificates as door
e prizes.

: .. .


'The event was organized ex-
tremely well," Imbrunone said.
"Everybody had a wonderful time
and we were able to spotlight just
our local businesses."
Participants enjoyed a great vari-
ety of different songs provided by
the band 19 South, while others got
a good laugh from the "dress your
pet'. contest.
The first-place winner in the pet
contest was Emma, dressed as a
clown and owned by Gaige Win-
chester.
Second place went to Brie,
dressed like a rock star and owned
by Misdra Franklin.
And third place went to Tawoda,
dressed in a Geisha robe and
owned by FranHunt ...
As the winners were announced,
Brie, the rock star, attracted much
attention, lying on her back in
Franklin's arms as if she had either
passed out due to winning, or had
partied too hard before hand.
Monetary donations for the event
were provided by Doug Wainright,
of Southern Biologics; Steve
Walker of Steve Walker Realty;
Dottie Miller of Bush Baby; Pam
and' Barry Kelly of Coldwell
Banker Kelly & Kelly Properties;


and Tommy Surles of State Farm
Insurance.
The donations went to pay for the
band and the other event-related
expenses.
Imbrunone said the Hometown
Get Down will be a monthly event,
. with a different theme to used for
each month.
"The next one will be at either the,
* end of October or at the beginning
of November," Imbrunone said..
"We are making plans already." .
She added that some of the
themes to come will include the.
featuring of local artists and local
craft items.
Presently, the coordinators are
seeking volunteers for the next
event. They are also looking for lo-
cal musicians willing to play at the
get downs, as it's planned that the
band will change for every event.
Coordinators wished to recognize
the-4ocal-merchants, all of which
donated items for the raffle.
To volunteer or to make com-
ments or suggestions for the event,
Scall the Chamber of Commerce at
997-5552.
The get-downs are a cooperative
effort of Monticello merchants and
members of the Main -Street Pro-
gram. The purpose of the event is
to showcase Jefferson County's of-
ferings and encourage discovery of
the downtown district.

New Fire Rescue Chief Resigns


LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

The new Fire Rescue chief, hired
iSept. 15, officially resigned last
week, effective Oct. 6.
"It is with mixed emotions that I
submit this letter," Jeff Cappe wrote
Commission Chairman Skeet Joyner
in a letter dated Sept. 28. "I have en-
joyed the short time that I have


spent here, and I thank you for the
opportunity that you afforded me.
"Unfortunately, my personal situa-
tion dictates that I must resign my
employment."
That personal situation, according
to Joyner, involves a job offer with
a state agency in Tallahassee.
Joyner said Cappe informed him
that the new job offers better bene-
fits. The new job is supposed to be
with the Department of Children


and Family Services.
Cappe reportedly had applied to
the state agency before applying
here.
Joyner said the board will decide
Thursday how it will handle the va-
cancy. He said that likely the posi-
tion will. be re-advertised, with the
names of the previous candidates
automatically added to the list.
This is the third time in recent

Police Arrest Three Suspects For

Armed Robbery Of CVS Pharmacy


LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Two county juveniles and a Talla-
hassee man have been charged with
armed robbery and grand theft, fol-
lowing an armed robbery of the
CVS Drug Store on Friday night.
The arrested were Spencer Con-
ner, 18, of Tallahassee; and Raphael
Smith and Roderick Prather, both 16
and of Monticello.
According to the Monticello Po-
lice Department (MPD), the robbery
occurred just before 10 p.m. at the
store on S. Jefferson Street.


Individuals
Apprehended
Shortly After
Crime; Money
Recovered
Responding officers from the
MPD heard from witnesses that
three masked men had robbed the
store at gunpoint and with a wooden
tool handle, taking an undisclosed
amount of money.
I Investigators soon developed the
identity of the three suspects, based


on the descriptions provided by the
witnesses, and began looking for the-
individuals with the assistance of
deputies from the Sheriffs Depart-
ment.
Officers finally located the three
suspects, along with the cash taken
from the store, at one of the juve-
nile's residence in the north end of
the county.
Subsequently, officers also recov-
ered the masks and the weapons
used in the robbery. The gun, it
turns out, was a pellet rifle.
Conner reportedly was a former
employee of the store, according to
the MPD.

Trace Setzer New Reading

Teacher At Jefferson High


FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer
New to the faculty at Jefferson
County High School this year, is
Tracie Setzer, who teaches Reading
180 in grades 9-12.
Setzer received her Bachelor's
Degree from Troy State, and is
presently working on earning her
Masters Degree in English with
Reading Endorsement.
Her experience includes substi-
tute teaching in the Alabama school
system for three years and one year
of teaching in Jackson County last
year.
Setzer became interested in a
teaching career in her senior year at
Troy. "My mom became a substi-
tute teacher and I love working
with high school kids, so I figured
rather than getting into marketing, I
wanted to be a teacher," said
Setzer.
She added that when she retired
last year, she missed teaching and
heard about the job availability
here, was offered the job and took
it.


She finds her biggest challenge in
teaching to be getting students to
realize that they can succeed at
anything that they want to try.
"A lot of them seem to hesitate
at things, ".said Setzer. "It's won-
derful though, to see progress,no
matter how great or small. All have
the ability to succeed and these

Driving while impaired is a

kids have a lot of heart.
A teen's lack of self confidence
pulls some down, but they do real-
ize that it doesn't hurt to ask for
help."
Her biggest frustration, is "the
kids who openly say that they don't
care," said Setzer. "Some want to
try to make things impossible for
others. In reality, I think they're
really the ones who care the most.
It's hard to reach all of them and it
hurts."
Setzer describes herself as being
someone who wants to make some
kind of positive impact on the stu-
dents. She said she is outgoing,
willing to strive in order to
succeed, enjoys helping others and
calls herself big-hearted.
"I'm the kind of person who
wants to do for others before I will


do for myself," she added. I'm a
very selfless person and some times
I try to be a perfectionist."
Setzer wants to be remembered as
having an open-door policy for the
students. "I want them to be able to
say that I helped them when they
were struggling or having a hard
time."
She considers her strong points to
be strict classroom discipline, mak-
ing sure that the students compre-
hend the material, and making
them think for themselves.
Her hobbies include music, read-
ing, being involved in charitable
organizations such as the Make a
Wish Foundation, taking Red Cross
volunteer training, and being a can-
cer survivor, she supports and helps
the American Cancer Society's Re-
lav For Life


NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATORY
POLICY AS TO STUDENTS
The Aucilla Christian Academy admits students of any
race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights,
privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or
made available to students at the school. It does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and

admission policies, scholarships and loan programs and

New Traffic Laws intended

To Promote Highway Safety


The Florida Department of High-
way Safety and Motor Vehicles and
the Florida Highway Patrol remind
drivers that several new and revised
traffic laws went into effect Oct. 1.
Among the new laws:
The base fine (not including
court costs, which vary from county
to county) for running a red light is
now increased to $125 (from $60),
and upon conviction will result in
four points being added on the
driver's record
If a driver has his or her license
revoked for a conviction of driving
under the influence and did not meet
the financial responsibility require-
ments at the time of the offense, the
r.river must purchase and maintain a


1.,


six-month noncancelable liability
policy.
Additionally, if the driver owns a
vehicle, he or she must obtain a six-
month registration as a condition of
reinstatement.
Racing on Florida's' highways
will become a first-degree misde-
meanor. Vehicles used to race may
be impounded for a period of 10
business days. Vehicles in violation
with five years of a previous convic-
tion may be seized and forfeited.
The new laws are in addition to
the primary seat belt law for drivers
under 21 that went into effect July 1,
2005.
"These changes to the laws are de-


signed to promote highway safe
said Fred Dickinson, executive
rector of the Department of H
way Safety and Motor Vehic
"Tragically, too many persons c
tinue to die as a result of tra
crashes. We encourage drivers
obey all traffic laws, don't drink
drive, and buckle up."
Added Colonel Chris Knight,
rector, of the Florida High'
Patrol: "Safety on Florida's hi
ways is paramount in our mission
enforce all laws. Drivers must
aware of the laws."

Effort Gets Teens


Ready For Road


Parents hold the keys when it
comes to their teens' driving safety.
In fact, research shows that when
parents take an active role in their
teens' driving education and set
driving guidelines, they can reduce
their teens' chances of being in a
crash by up to one-third.,
According to government
statistics, traffic crashes remain the
No. I killer of teens.
In 2003, teen drivers were'in-
volved in more than 1.7 million ve-
Shicle crashes, injuring nearly
1'400,000 teens and killing nearly
5,000. And teen traffic deaths peak
;in the summer, when teens spend
more time on the road than they do
During the school year.
In addition, teens drive more at,
night and often travel with groups of
'teens further leading to
distractions.
Chrysler Group has resources
i ,available to help. They've created
Road Ready Teens, a home-based
'program for both parents and teens.
The initiative helps parents ease
" their teens into driving, while gradu-
;ally exposing and educating them
about the risks they face on the road.
' "Chrysler Group is urging parents
to pay close attention to their teens'
driving safety, especially in these
high-risk summer months," said Deb
"Morrissett, Vice President Safety
'and Regulatory Affairs, Chrysler
Group.
"Road Ready Teens was designed


to give parents step-by-step guide-.
lines to help protect their teens be-
hind the wheel. If parents and teens
follow these steps, tens of thousands
of teen crashes could be prevented
each and every year."
The program offers a Parent's
Guide to encourage dialogue be-
tween the parent and teen, as well as
an innovative teen driving safety
video game, StreetWise. StreetWise
is designed to increase teens' aware-
ness and ,understanding of driving
risks in a fun and challenging way.
The Road Ready Teens Parent's
Guide includes simple tips and tools
that parents need to help keep their
teen drivers safe, such as:
Limit the number of passengers
with whom your teen drives.
Limit distractions while driving,
such as cell phone use and loud mu-
sic.
Remind your teen to take extra
care when driving at night; most
teen crashes occur after dark.
Create 'a Parent-Teen 'Road
Rules Contract based on recommen-
dations from leading safety experts.
Road Ready Teens' materials, in-
cluding StreetWise and the Parent's
Guide, are available in English and
Spanish free of charge at
www.roadreadyteens.org.
The site also links parents to state
teen driving laws and licensing in-
formation and other safety
resources.

Opinion & Comment


Healthy Eating is Not Simple Matter


Alright, let's talk about the impor-
tant stuff like lycopene, capsaicin,
and flavanoids.
Whaddya mean you don't know
what they mean?
Truth is, I don't know much about
them either.
I read a column about healthy eat-
ing and learned these were phyto-
chemicals in fruits and vegetables
that are good for our bodies.
Frankly, I get so confused about
what it is we're supposed to eat.
About the time I think I've got it
figured out, another study comes out
and says something like "It's OK to
eat eggs now."
It wasn't too terribly long ago that
we were told eggs are loaded with
cholesterol' and we should eat them
sparingly.
I happen to like eggs. -AlwayS,
have. But, I grudgingly began using!
egg substitutes in the interest of
lower cholesterol.
So you can see why I was ripped
when the study came out and said
now eggs are OK. .

Notebook

-Roll O'Cit/w


I'm more than a. little peeved
about olive oil too.
I read reports that said olive oil is
not good so I cut that out. The
health column I read recently said
some olive oil is good as it can
lower LDL cholesterol.
*' R'mi,-t1- L I ili. -'day' wlien .i i ate
what you wanted and that was it? I
remember them too.
Now' if I eat a pizza I'm guilt-
ridden.
Cheese is a no no. Ice cream is a
memory. Steaks are terribly infre-


quent. And the list goes on.
Having a meal has become an ad-
venture!
Fruits and vegetables are the in
foods now.
I hate to be the one to disagree
with the fruits- ind egetable folks,
but a plate: of beans is not nearlyas'
tasty as a good stew, or fried
chicken.
Oh, but it is more healthy you
say? Yeah, dam it.
My daughter Jamie studied fitness
in college and is a personal trainer.


She keeps me posted on what I'm
supposed to eat.
So far I've concluded the good
stuff is bad for me while the stuff
that tastes like paper is good for me.
To tell you the truth, I am growing
weary of all this "you can't eat this,
you can't eat that" business.
To make matters worse, I eat my
main meal of the day at noon at the
Table of Knowledge with people
who enjoy fried chicken and all the
good stuff.
Either they don't know about all
this healthy diet business or they
don't care.
What I'm waiting for now is the
next study that says all that business
that we scared you with for the past
several years is no longer operative.
-.. Eat what you 'want. Have a pizza.
Get yourself an ice cream cone.
Have some wine and cheese. Fried"
chicken is good for you.
This may never happen, but I can
hope, can't I?
Tell the truth, you'd like it too!


Girls With ADHD Overlooked


While attention deficit hyperactiy-
ity disorder (ADHD) affects about
three to seven percent of all school-
age children, many girls with
ADHD may never be diagnosed be-
cause their symptoms are often
missed by parents and teachers.
While boys tend to exhibit the
more commonly known and obvious
symptoms of ADHD, like hyperac-
tivity, girls may display other, less
outwardly visible symptoms such as
inattention.
If left untreated, the symptoms of
ADHD can have a profound effect
on a 'child's life, both inside and out-
side of a classroom setting.
For Janice Lowder, a quiet, well-
behaved child, learning was always
stressful.


"My husband and I hired a one-
on-one tutor to help Janice with her
studies. We also tried to help her,
and all dreaded the nightly battle of
completing a homework assignment.
Janice would get so frustrated with
her homework and the fact that she
didn't 'get it,' that she would cry,"
said her mother Beth Lowder.
"By the time Janice reached the
seventh grade, a nurse at her school
suggested we talk to a doctor. Janice
was diagnosed with ADHD and was
started on treatment,' Beth ex-
plained.
"I knew my daughter just needed
the right help," said Beth.
By the tenth grade, Janice had im-
proved from a C to a B student but


homework was still challenging.
. In. addition, she had low self-
esteem and was embarrassed to take
her medication at school. Her psy-
chiatrist prescribed an extended-
release formulation 'that enabled
Janice to take her medication once a
day at home.
With continued tutoring and medi-
cation, her grades improved.
"She came home from school one
day and said, "Mom, I'm smart."
said her mother.
A recent study presented at the
American Psychiatric Association
annual meeting showed that girls
with ADHD demonstrated signifi-
cant improvement in both behavior
and attention with medication.


"The study suggest that girls with
ADHD can benefit from medication
and that this treatment will help
them control symptoms all day
while they are in the classroom, dur-
ing after-school activities or during
homework with relatively few side
effects," said Joseph Biederman,
M.D., professor of psychiatry, Har-
vard Medical School and Chief of
Pediatric Psychopharmacology at
Massachusetts General Hospital.
"While ADHD in girls is becom-
ing more recognizable it is still often
over looked, and there is a need for
safe and effective treatments that
will allow girls to interact more ef-
fectively with other children and
adults, to concentrate in school and
to focus on finishing tasks." (NAPS)

The Howard Middle School foot--

pointing loss to the Wakulla
Riversprings Bears, last week.
Coach Willie Saffd said the rea-
son behind the loss was poor calls
made by officials. "The officiating
was terrible, the worst I've seen
since I've been coaching," said
Saffo. "Any other coach would
have said it was terrible. ,
"You can't win when you have
four touchdowns called back on
you. It's hard to play the opposing
team and the officials too," he
added.
Saffo said the calls made calling
back the Bees touchdowns included
clipping, back blocking and others.
"One of the touchdowns that was
called back, was called by the refe-
ree in mid field who said he
stepped on the line and the referee
standing next to me at the line said
.that he didn'tsee it," said Saffo.
"If you beat me, you beat me, but
let it be a fair situation."
Saffo said the Bees played good
enough to win the game and they

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.

October is Breast Cancer Aware--
ness month and the County Health
Department joins the American
Cancer Society (ACA) stressing the
importance of early detection.
According to ACS statistics,
breast cancer is the most common
cancer diagnosed among women in
Florida.
Florida ranks third in the nation
for the total number of new cases
and deaths from breast cancer.
ACS statistics say that approxi-
mately 215,990 new cases of eva-
sive breast cancer are expected to
be diagnosed in women in the US
in 2004 and about 1,450 new cases
will be diagnosed in men.
Gender and age are the most im-
portant risk factors for breast can-
cer. As a woman ages, her risk of
developing breast cancer increases.
In fact, 77 percent of women who
are diagnosed with breast cancer
are age 50 and older.
There are new breast cancer early
detection recommendations, they
include getting yearly mammo-
grams starting at the age of 40 and
continuing as long as the woman is
in good health.
Clinical breast exams should be
part of a periodic health exam,
about every three years for women
in their 20's and 30's and every
year for women 40 and older.


Women should be aware of how
their breasts, normally look and
feel, and should report any change
promptly to their health care pro-
-viders. Breast self-exam is an op-
tion for women starting in their
20's.
Women at increased risk, which
includes family history, genetic
tendency and past breast cancer,

mography Awareness Day" in
recognition of the importance of
timely detection and treatment of
breast cancer.

The Health Department will be-
offering free group diabetes classes
9-11 a.m. Oct. 22 and 29 and Nov.
5 at the public clinic on W. Wash-
ington St.
Spokesperson Bonnie Mathis said
attendance at these classes is very
important, given the Florida De-
partment of Health (FDOH) ranks
Jefferson County ranks number 13
in the state in age-adjusted deaths
related to diabetes.
The FDOH also reports that 12.4
percent of adults in the county have
diabetes, as compared with the state
average of 8.2 percent.
Mathis explained that complica-
tions from diabetes can include
blindness, amputations, nerve dam-
age, kidney disease, poor circula-
tion, and increased risk for heart
attack or stroke.
According to the American Dia-
betes Association, two out of every
three people with diabetes die from
heart disease and stroke. These
complications and increased health
risks make learning to control dia-
betes essential.

were cleaned. Only to bring the.
items back with them after a 'too
short' a visit home with their own
families and babies, according to the
volunteer.
Fuller said the volunteers claimed
to have seen everything from death,
drugs and sexual abuse to family re-
unions. They asked that prayers be
offered not only for the victims, but
also for the volunteers.
Meanwhile, a Love Blanket pro-
ject has been put into motion for the
Katrina babies, according to Fuller.
She said quilts are being made for
the babies from materials and quilt
squares received.
She said the project is expected to
continue until there is no longer a
need. Anyone wishing to help with
the project is asked to contact Fuller
at 342-1011 or rshallett@yahoo.com
"If you have a handmade blanket
that you have cherished but no
-longer need, send it along," Fuller
said. "How meaningful it would be
to receive a blanket that has already
been snuggled into and blessed with
love.
"It would be nice if you, would
also write a few words in a card to
the person who will eventually re-
ceive your work of heart. Just pin it
to the blanket. Feel free to include a
way to correspond if you would
like."

feels like to

have asthma.

Try breathing through a

attack it's a fight for every nV
breath you draw.

Asthma is a serious lung disease that can affect children
and adults at any time. An attack can be triggered by
such diverse causes as cold air, pets, tobacco smoke,
dust, and stress. The American Lung Association is
helping people control asthma so they can lead happy,
