Recycling Program Hits

Record-Breaking Sales"

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer

Kudos to Beth Thome, director of
the Solid Waste Department.
And kudos also to the thousands
of county residents who now are re-
cycling.
Thanks to the combined efforts of
the two, the county during the last
fiscal year (that's Oct. 1, 2004
through Sept. 30, 2005) realized a
savings of $70,556.
How so?
Consider: The Solid Waste De-
partment made $57,556 from the
sale of reclaimable materials -- such
as newspapers, metals and alumi-
num cans -- that it sold to the vari-
ous companies purchasing such
used materials.
It also saved another $13,000 in
.tipping fees by not dumping the ma-
terials in the regional landfill, which
charges $41 per ton.
The economic, and environmental
benefits of the recycling program go
well beyond the $70, 556 in savings,
however.
By recycling, residents also help
slow down the depletion of natural
-resources in general, assure a longer
life for the landfill (it's an extremely

costly and complicated process to
open new cells and close and re-
claim old ones), and they help re-
duce the potential for water
'contamination.
Thorne says greater participation
in recycling program by residents
accounts for the record-breaking
revenues the program realize in the
2005 fiscal year.

Sales Exceeded
$57,000 In 2005

She attributes the greater partici-
pation in great part to public educa-
tion. She notes that her department
regularly places ads in the newspa-
per, urging residents to recycle.
At the same time, the elementary
and middle schools are conveying
the same information to students,
who hopefully convey the message
to their parents.
"People are beginning to under-
stand better that we need to save the
landfill," Thorne says.
Meanwhile, she says, more people
are moving into the county -- people
who come from areas where recy-
cling is mandatory.
Not to be discounted either is the

growing market for recyclable mate-
rials.
It used to be years ago that the
county couldn't give away its recy-
clable materials, Thorne notes.
"The county literally had to pay
people to pick up the white goods,"
she says.
White goods, in the jargon of the
Solid Waste Department, refers to
appliances such as refrigerators and
ovens.
.But more and more in recent
years, Thorne says, the demand for
recyclable materials has been grow-
ing dramatically.
The figures speak for themselves.
In fiscal year 2001, when Thorne
took over the Solid Waste Depart-
ment, the revenues from the sale of
recyclable materials were $6,548.
In fiscal year 2002, that figure
more than tripled to $26,639.
In fiscal year 2003, it jumped to,
$36,405.
And in fiscal year 2004, it went to
$45,231.
Last fiscal year, of course, the fig-
ure was $57,556.,
Does she think the sales will con-
tinue to increase?
"Absolutely, it will continue to go
up" Thorne says. "More people are
coming into the county, and they're

The goal of the Economic Devel-
opment Council -- aside from at-
tracting new businesses here -- is to
work with existing industries to cre-
ate a new jobs.
What better example of the fulfill-
ment of that goal than P. S. Art, a
picture-and-mirror framing com-
;pany in the industrial park that has
*been quietly and steadily increasing
its payroll and job opportunities
over the years.
Expectations, moreover, are that
the company will continue to add
jobs in the future, if the present rate
of growth continues. And indica-'
tions are that that growth is likely to
continue.
Established in the late 1980s, P. S.
Art (the P. S. stands for Personal
Service) now' employs 32 people
and ships its products to all 50 states
and several foreign countries, ac-
counting for multi-million sales an-
nually.
That's quite a difference from the
days 15 years ago when owner
David Woodyard and a couple of
helpers handled all the work.
P. S. Art actually was a spin-off
from Kaleidoscope Limited Inc., a
Lamont company that is still in busi-
ness.
Von Reichman started the spin-off
company in the mid 80s and ran it
until 1990, when she sold it to
Woodyard. At the time, the opera-
tion was housed in the old Coca
Cola bottling plant on East Wash-
ington Street.
The business had a couple of lean
years in the beginning, due to the re-
cession of the early 90s. But ever
since, business has been good and
growing steadily, Woodyard says.
So much so that the operation out-
grew its Washington Street location
and relocated to a larger building in
the industrial park in 1994.
Since then, Woodyard has had to
expand the building twice to keep

Legislators
Set Annual
Public Meet
The Jefferson County Legislative
Delegation will hold its annual pub-
lic hearing Monday, Jan. 9.
The hearing will be held in the
Monticello Opera House, beginning
at 6 p.m.
Members of the legislative dele-
gation are Senators Al Lawson and
Nancy Argenziano and House Rep-
resentatives Loranne Ausley and
Will Kendrick.
The hearing affords citizens and
elected officials an opportunity to
meet with the legislators and discuss
areas of concern, ask questions and
offer comments for .the upcoming
2006 legislative session.

Lawson's office at 487-5004.

up with the increased volume of
business. And just last week, he re-
ceived county approval to expand
the building yet a third time, which
will bring the total footage of the fa-
cility to 27,500.
The additional space is needed to
store raw materials and some of the
finished products, which now are
shipped immediately upon comple-
tion.
As Woodyard explains it, the op-
eration stocks no finished products
or inventory, other than a few raw
materials. Everything is custom or-
dered, he says.
Every once in a while, however,
finished orders stack up because of
unexpected delays at the receiving
end.

"The expansion will give us more
room for the storage of raw materi-
als and flexibility with the tempo-
rary storing of the finished
products," Woodyard says.
He expects the additional space
will be filled to capacity "in a heart-
beat".
Touring, the facility, it's easy to see
why. Everywhere are crowded card-
board boxes and wooden palettes
holding cut glass, wood moldings
and the'other materials that go into
the production of the pictures and
mirrors. Taking space also are the
packaged orders waiting to be
shipped.
Woodyard is modest about the
conversion of his company into a
multi-million dollar operation. He
attributes the company's success to a
host of factors that include filling a
niche market, providing a quality
product at a fair price, and putting

Women's Ag Role

Is Being Redifned

LAZARO ALEMAN
Senior Staff Writer
Right off the top of his head, Ex-
tension Office Director Larry
Halsey can name three small-scale
agriculture operations in the county
that are run by women and that fo-
cus exclusively on organic farming.
He can name a fourth large-scale
operation that's Inanaged by a
woman, although this one is not or-
ganic.
The ability to cite the names off
the top of his head is no statistical
evidence that organic farming is get-
ting more popular here or that
women are its main practitioners,
Halsey says.
But it does underscore a sense he
has that, yes, "more and more
women are filling that niche.".
Meaning small-scale organic
farming.

"You can argue the merits of tradi-
tional farming versus organic farm-
ing," Halsey says. "But the intent of
organic farming is to grow healthier
products that usually are sold to lo-
cal markets and directly to custom-
ers.
"It involves personal contact with

Christmas Drive List Grows;

More Donations Needed

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer
Despite the many donations-
which have poured in for the An-
nual County Christmas Drive, more
are still needed and there are a few
days remaining to make those, do-
nations.
As of approximately two weeks
ago, there were 32 families that
were in need this year and there
were 87 children in those families.
Spokesperson Gladys Roann said
at the time that the list would
probably grow, and that it did.
There are now 40 families which
contain some 106 children.
"Much of the recent donations
were last minute," said Roann.
"There are probably more who

want to give, and there is only a lit-
tle time remaining."
The absolute deadline for accept-
ing donations is Monday, and Ro-
-ann urges all who to make their do-
nations by that time, so they can be
delivered to those in need.
Roann said that without addi-
tional donations, many children be-
tween the ages of six months and
16 years will not have a Christmas
this year.
Donations of children's toys, es-
pecially toys for girls are needed,
as well as items for teens, adults
and the elderly, along with mone-
tary donations.
"Anything someone can give will
help make someone's Christmas a
little brighter," said Roann.
All donations go to the needy-

families in the county and all work-
provided is done so by volunteers.
Roann said that the drive usually
provides each child on the list with
at least two new toys.
Last year, the community was
able to assist more than 80 families,
and approximately 132 children, as
well as some dozen of senior citi-
zens, with gift certificates, food, ar-
ticle of clothing and toys.
To adopt a family, which is usu-
ally done by business contributors,
a child or an elderly resident during
the drive, contact Roann at 342-,
0115 or Lucille Hunter at
3.42-0178.

MADD Celebrates

25-Year Effort

Py helping to change the public's
view of drunk driving, one organi-
zation has helped save more than
300,000 lives. For 25 years, Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
has saved lives and prevented inju-
ries through activism, education and
victim services.
A 2005 MADD/Nationwide Insur-
ance Survey conducted by Gallup
shows that 94 percent of Americans
believe that driving under the influ-
ence of alcohol is a major highway
safety problem.
Deterring drunk driving is key to
solving the problem and the survey
reveals that the public supports
high-visibility crackdowns on drunk
driving, as one of the most effective
tools to deter drunk driving.
Support for sobriety checkpoints
jumped from 79 percent in 1993 to
83 percent in 2000 to 87 percent in
2005.
Increasing frequent and highly
publicized checkpoints is just one of
the ways the nonprofit organization
aims to reduce. alcohol-related traf-
fic fatalities and injuries by 2008.
Additionally, the organization will
continue to support high-risk-driver
legislation that will close lethal
loopholes in the justice system, as
well as help to pass primary seat belt
laws in every state.
The Gallup survey shows that the
public supports these measures.
Founded by a handful of broken---

hearted mothers, the organization
has grown to about 600 affiliates
and two million members, which in-
clude dads, daughters, sons, uncles,
family and friends. Recently, the or-
ganization named its first male
president, Glynn R. Birch.
While alcohol-related traffic
deaths have dropped by approxi-
mately 44 percent since 1980, says
Birch, nearly 17,000 alcohol-related
traffic fatalities and half a million
injuries still occur every year, and it
is estimated that about three in every
10 Americans will be involved in an
alcohol-related crash during their
lives.
"We cannot celebrate mediocrity
any longer. If nearly 17,000 people
died on one day versus over 365
days, the public would be outraged.
In order to end drunk driving, every-,
one must help support local law en-
forcement and legislative leaders in-
a quest to make roads safer for eve--
ryone," Birch added.
Timothy A. Hoyt, vice president
of safety for Nationwide Insurance,
said, "Nationwide has long been a
supporter of MADD's efforts to
make roadways across America
safer' for everyone. We believe it's
part of our responsibility to be a
good corporate citizen and have
demonstrated leadership through na-
tional campaigns that improve high-
way safety. We join this cause to
help ensure there are fewer drunk
-driving tragedies." (NAPS)

America Should Get

Out Of Torture Role

BY REX M. ROGERS
Columnist

Horrible pictures from Iraq's Abu
Ghraib prison first gave Americans
a taste of what torture and public
humiliation might look like at the
hands of Americans.
The perpetrators in this instance
may have been "rogue soldiers" of
questionable characters, but they
were still our soldiers. And the in-
terrogation techniques that got .out
of hand at Abu Ghraib were our
techniques. That's what most
shocked our conscience.
Turns out that since 9/11 and the
inception of the War on Terror, the
Bush Administration has broadly
supported the use of so-called "en-
hanced" interrogation techniques.
"Enhanced" apparently means that
almost anything is permissible short
of "organ failure" or death.
U.S. Sen. John McCain, himself a
victim of torture during five years of
a POW in Viet Nam, wants Con-
gress to establish new rules for de-
tainee treatment and interrogation,
banning "cruel, inhuman or degrad-
ing" techniques. The Senate recently
agreed with a 90-9 vote.
This is not a simple issue. Chris-

tian values demand respect for hu-
man life made in the image of God
and reject the idea even of cruelty to
animal let alone human beings.
Christians recoil at the thought of
intentionally inflicting harm upon a
helpless individual with an "end-
justifies-the-means" mentality, yet
also acknowledge the periodic ne-
cessity of a "just war."
Christians don't generally mourn
the loss of life of persons who indis-
criminately kill innocent people,
whether as a one-man mass mur-'
derer or as a terrorist in an organ-
ized cell group. But neither do they
embrace tactics reminiscent of the
Inquisition.
Aside from the host of political
reasons why torture should be out-
lawed, there are philosophical ideals
at stake. In the end, I must cast my
vote for "No torture." America
should listen to John McCain. On
this issue his experiential wisdom is
too credible to ignore. America
should get out of the torture busi-
ness.

Breakfast Important Fo

When your child goes to school on
an empty stomach, she's losing up to
a quarter of the daily recommended
intake of critical vitamins and min-
erals.
This loss directly impacts energy
levels, memory and focus. Studies
show that children who start the day
hungry score lower on achievement
tests and have higher absenteeism
rates than children who eat
breakfast.
The second annual "Report Card
on America's Breakfast Habits" con-
ducted by national parent teacher or-,
ganization PTO Today and The
American Cereal Council, revealed
that 30 percent of elementary
school-age children are still going, to
school at least one day per week 6n

provement from last year's Report
Card.

Marrow
There's hopeful news for the more
than 35,000 children and adults who
develop life-threatening diseases of
the blood or immune system, includ-
ing leukemia, lymphoma and ge-
netic diseases each year.
For many of these individuals, the.
best hope for a cure is a marrow or
blood cell transplant from a volun-
teer donor or donated cord blood
unit.
In once such case, Jerry Arreola, a
46-year-old San Antonio, Texas,
resident and longtime employee of
the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) felt
compelled to make two marrow and
blood cell donations for a recipient

twice a week.
LThis dangerous trend exists de-
;pne parents' acknowledgment that
starting the morning with breakfast
is 'an important way to prepare kids
to learn.
The Report Card did offer hope
and easy solutions. Moms noticed a
positive impact on their children's
performance at school when they
took the time to sit down with their
kids for breakfast. And the chance
of kids skipping breakfast when
mom partook was reduced by two-
thirds.
The conclusion is that parents
need to make the grade each morn-
ing as role models for their children.
"Parents are the most influential
role models in their kids' lives," said
Tim Sullivan, father of four and
president of PTO Today.
"That's why it's crucial for them to
stress the importance of eating
breakfast to help prepare their kids

for school each day. And it doesn't
have to be difficult a simple way to
get kids off on the right foot is by
sitting down together for a bowl of
cereal and milk."
To show the effect of this issue,
PTO Today and The American Ce-
real Council conducted two-week
in-home surveys with 1,000 families
across the country to complement
the Repprt Card. Participating par-
ents shared a cereal-with-milk
breakfast with their children every
day and recorded changes in their
children's attention spans and school
work.
The testimonials confirmed that
when the families sat down for a ce-
real breakfast each day, the results
were positive, in and out of the
classroom. Furthermore, the kids'
excitement to take part in the survey
and eat breakfast as a family im-
pressed parents.

The busy holiday season is upon
us, bringing with it lots of food, a
change in weather, and plenty of
holiday travel.
Traveling over the holidays can be
time-consuming and hectic, making
it important to slow down and take
precautions while on the road. Be-
low are some suggestions to help
you arrive safely for holiday cele-
brations and festivities:
Give your vehicle a once-over.
Check your battery, engine, brakes,
tire pressure, coolant, transmission
and windshield washer fluids before
driving. Also, make sure mirrors
and seats are adjusted and seat belts
are working properly.
Avoid major travel days and late
nights. Consider arriving at your
destination a day or two before ma-
jor travel days to save time and frus-
tration. Also try to avoid driving late
at night as darkness may make it dif-
fic'ult to see in adverse weather con-
ditions.
Obey road signs and traffic laws.
This information has your safety in
mind. Do not speed and make sure
everyone in your vehicle is wearing
a -seat belt. -In addition, if you're
planning to drink alcoholic bever-
ages, select a designated driver in
advance. Make sure this person is
aware of all responsibilities.
Respect commercial vehicles.
When driving near commercial ve-
hicles such as trucks and buses, be

Taking extra precautions during
the holiday travel season is neces-
sary to help ensure the safety of eve-
ryone on the road.
Being mindful of your surround-
ings will help avoid an accident or
breakdown and will make celebrat-
ing the holidays even more enjoy-
able.

aware of their "No-Zones" danger-
ous blind spots where your vehicle
disappears from the view of the
truck or bus driver. Remember: If
you can't see the driver's face in the
side-view mirror, he or she cannot
see you. When passing these vehi-
cles, complete your pass quickly and
safely.
Be cautious of winter conditions.
Be aware of black ice, a thin layer of
transparent ice that forms when the
temperature is around the freezing
point. Ice buildup on mirror arms,
the antenna or top comers of your
windshield are signs that patches .of
black .ice may have formed on the
road. Also use extra caution when
approaching elevated structures like
bridges. They are usually the first to
freeze and are not always treated
with ice/snow melt-materials. When
you need to slow down quickly in
slippery conditions, lightly pump
your brakes to help reduce the
chance of locking your tires and
spinning out of control. If your car
has an anti-lock braking system,
hold the brake down as far as possi-
ble in an emergency.
Eliminate distractions. Make
sure children have things to keep
them occupied so they do not dis-
tract you. Keep the radio at a low
volume and do not use your cell
phone while driving. Pull over or
have a passenger make any neces-
sary calls.

was considering other employment
options when P. S. Art became
available for sale.
Wanting to remain in the area
and being familiar with production
line operations -- "the same princi-
ples apply," Woodyard says -- he
,embraced the opportunity.
The operation fino\ runs day and
night and, averages between 400 and
500 units a day, or about 2,0(0 pic-
tures and mirrors a week. So far this
year, according to Woodyard, that
production translates into 124,000
mirrors and pictures.
On any given day, the production
area is a beehive of activity, with
'workers at the different stations cut-
ting and joining different-sized
frames, laminating the artwork, cut-
ting the corresponding matting, and
installing the mirrors and a-twork
:into the frames.
Much of the work is done by auto-
mation, but a few jobs still are done
by hand, either because the work is
,very basic or it requires special at-
tention to detail.
Once. completed, the products are
shipped to hotel supply companies,
which then distribute the pictures
--and mirrors to individual hotels, mo-
tels and franchises across the coun-
try and beyond.
Consider that the next time you're
'in a Holiday, a Hampton, a Hyatt
Regency or any of the thousands of
other hotels and motels across the
country. Those paintings and mir-
rors on the walls of the lobby, the
rooms, and the hallways may well
have originated in Monticello.

Lady Bees Face

Rebuilding Year,

FRAN HUNT
Staff Writer

The Howard Middle School Lady
Bees basketball team is in a re-
building year, having lost 12 play-
ers from last year's roster, which
included all of the team starters.
Coach Corinne Stephens said that
all but two of this year's team are
sixth graders new to the game.
She added that the two Lady Bees
returning have been forced into
starting roles and asked to step up
their game several notches.
Commenting on losing the first
two games of the season held
against Madison Central and Tay-
lor County Middle, Stephens said,
"We are starting completely over
with a team having little or no ex-
perience. "We have come a long
way since day one, but we still

have a very long way tL go."
She added that both Coach Jor-
dan and herself lihse seen the Lad
Bees Mnake .a, lot of improvement
that wouldn't be obvious to specta-
tors of .the games, ."because they
were not at practice the first few
days," she said.
"These sixth graders are good
athletes, but have absolutely no
game experience and they are play-,.
ing against eighth grade girls who
have three years worth of games
under their belts," Stephens said.
"They (HMS) are learning and I
hope enjoying the opportunity to
have so much playing time."
The game scheduled against Trin-
ity was canceled.
The Lady Bees will stand at an
0-2 season until the game salted
against Havana Middle, 4 p.m.,.
Jan. 5, here.

women's Ag Role Being Redefined

(Continued From Page 1)
the people who consume the prod-
ucts. Thus, it's a bit interpersonal
and social as well as agricultural.
That, at least, is my sense, from an
arm's length view of the operations."
Halsey also notes that he has been
receiving more and more inquiries
about organic production, including
the raising of grass-fed beef, as op-
posed to the traditional factory farm
feedlot production.
The extension office, in fact, now
hosts a small farm web site that, ac- _

cording to Halsey, is IFAS's largest
repository of organic farming infor-
mation.
On the whole, Halsey says, or-
ganic enterprises tend to be smaller,
their practitioners younger, and the
aim to serve consumers as directly
as possible, versus traditional farm-
ing.
As for the question of women in
farming, Halsey says the traditional
agriculture roles of women as cooks
and bookkeepers are "a thing of the

"Women now are full-fledged
partners and in many cases they are
managing the farms while their part-
ners are earning an income off the
farm," he says.

Halsey's observations were trig-
gered by recent newspaper articles
noting a growing number of Florida
women joining the ranks of organic
farmers, at the same time that the
demand for organic products is
growing across the country.
According to statistics cited by

the Gainesville-based Florida Certi-
fied Organic Growers and Consum-
ers, "female farmers' inclination
toward chemical-free growing has
been (made) clear by their atten-
dance at organic conferences."
The trend toward small organic
farms is especially evident in areas
of the state where traditional large-
scale farms are giving way to urban
development, according to the one
article.
The second article notes that an-
nual retail sales of organic food
products now total about $13 billion

in the United States, with fruits and
vegetables the biggest-selling prod-
ucts and organic meats, dairy and
poultry products among the fastest-
growing in popularity.
The writer attributes the growing-
popularity of organic products to a
growing demand for chemical-free
products along with environmental
concerns.
Nationwide, the writer notes, con-
sumer demand for organic food is
far outstripping supplies, with no
end in sight to the trend.

Healthy Weight Loss available only at
Jackson's Drug, 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 flavorings 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.

In conjunction with the Annual-
County Christmas Drive and the
Christ Episcopal Church food bank,
the newly formed student council at
Jefferson Elementary School con-
ducted a canned food drive and col-
lected more than 1,000 cans of
food for needy families in the
county.
The drive was conducted in all

grades at JES and coordinators
held a contest to see which class
would collect the most cans.
Spokesperson Gladys Roann.said
that the class with the greatest num-
ber of cans of food would win a
party.
The winning class was the first
grade class of Sherico Parrish,
which collected more than 450 cans
of food.
This class will be given a pop
corn and juice party,' and students
will enjoy a movie, near the end of

the school day.
The collected can goods will be
distributed Monday, along with
other items donated to the annual
County Christmas Drive.
