He was com- pletely unaware that a surprise ceremony was being put together in his honor, for everything he has done "'since donning the judicial garb in 1985. The festivities began in the courtroom at the Lafayette County Court- house at 4 p.m., followed by a reception at 6 p.m. in the Lafayette High School cafetorium on Tuesday, Dec. 19. The courtroom over- flowed with friends, fami- ly, co-workers, local folks, and residents from the' surrounding counties. There was standing room only and some folks went to a nearbY room where they could watch the cere- min-ny.

Ira Mikell Free Press Reporier In a few days, people around the world will be gathered together in their own special way on- the eve of Jan. 1, counting do-n the minutes to the new year. Some people will be eat- ing dinner together, others might be singing church songs as a way to bring in the new year. Even many of our troops who are current- ly overseas helping to fight various battles and main- taining peace will be ring- ing-in the new year. At the. moment the clock strikes midnight, many peo- ple will cheer and join in unison singing the tradition- al "Auld Lang Syne" song. As people are gathered to- gether, they will be reflect- ing on what was accom- plished this year' and upon the goals that could not be reached due to varying cir- cumstances.

"UES Cares" Food Drive a huge success Submitted by Debbie Singletary, LES Guidance Counselor Lafayette Elementary held its annual "LES Cares" food drive during the month of November. Students brought in food and personal items daily to help with this wonderful cause. All items were given to the Mayo Manna House. During the month of November, the students were encouraged to participate in the food dri- ve as a way to show care for others. The students did a wonderful job bring- ing in items. More than 4,000 items were bought in by the students. The classes that brought in the most were Mrs. Ruby Mc- Cray's class, Mrs. Nell Thomas's class, and Mr. Jamie Fike and Mrs. Angie McCray's class. These classes were treated to pizza for doing such a great job in supporting the food drive. However, every class in the school participated to make this drive so successful. resolutions you promised to fuJlill this \ ear? Do you plan to renew %our past resolu- tions or make new ones?

Bronson is asking the public to be care- ful with all outdoor fires this holiday season. "Florida has received below-normal amounts of precipi- tation through the fall months, and this past weekend's freezing.temperatures in the northern part of the state have left much of our wildlands vulnerable to wildfire," Bronson said. "The freeze-dried vegetation will only add to the already accumulated debris that is still scattered across Florida from the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons." Relative humidity below 35 percent, lack of rainfall for two weeks or longer, and strong, dry winds are all com- ponents that create extreme fire danger., "Any fire that starts during, these weather conditions could get out of control and spread quickly," said Bronson. Bronson encouraged the public to follow these tips: --Report any suspicious fire by calling 911, -- Never leave any fire unattended. Clear an area down to bare.soil around campfires and warming fires. . -- Do not burn yard waste during dry, windy conditions. Keep your home safe from fires by clearing leaves from the roof and gutters, and by removing dead vegeta- tion within 30 feet of your home. It is also important to trim trees and limbs within 15 feet of your chimney and make sure that you have a properly working spark ar- rester on your chimney. Bronson is recommending that.Floridians contact their local Division of Forestry office for more. information on fire prevention tips and burning regulations, or visit' the Division of Forestry's web site at http:/ /www.fl-dof.com.. During the months of September through December, Florida had 478 wildfires that burned 3,052 acres. Holiday trappings "FACING THE GIANTS" the whole shebang! showing at Religion SWhat is your church doing? Let us hear from you! Have an article S. you want printed? SSend it to us! Phone: 294-1210 Fax: 294-2666 n/ic I grew up in a nominally Christian family. By that I mean we went to church once in a while with no regu- larity what-so-ever. The sort of church goers that the pastor says, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you I won't see again until next Easter." I didn't come to know j., the Lord as my personal Savior until I I ..' '. was 15. David H. Matier Even though my parents weren't in to church I still understood the emphasis of Christmas. I was taught that Christmas was the celebration of the birth of the Christ child. And realizing the truth about Christmas didn't prevent us from enjoying all of the "trappings" of the holidays (I think knowing the real meaning of Christmas added to the enjoyment of the holiday traditions). I grew up in a family that celebrated Christmas with Santa Claus, Christmas trees, mistletoe, fruit cake, rib- bon candy, candy canes and the whole shebang! Up un- til Christmas of 1990 I received Christmas gifts from my mother that said, "from Santa." I knew there was no real person with eight reindeer that covered the entire planet in one night climbing down people's chimneys to deliver gifts! But it was fun! As far back as I can re- member my family celebrated Christmas with the em- phasis in the right place but also enjoying for a few weeks a fantasy that never hurt anyone (Ecclesiastes 3:1- 8). Some who know me may not agree with this, but I don't feel that celebrating the Christmas holidays warped me in any way. You may have had someone approach you with Jere- miah 10:1-5. At first glance it may sound like the pas- sage is talking about a Christmas tree but it's not that at all! It is speaking about taking a tree and forming it into an idol and covering it with thin sheets of gold and sil- ver (not tinsel). They took a tree out of the woods and formed a god to bow down to! And even if it was a Christmas tree, notice in Jeremiah 10:5, the last part of the verse, it says, "Be not afraid of them; for the), cannot do e\il, neither also is it in them to do good." In all the years I have celebrated Christmas with San- ta Claus, Christmas trees, etc. I never bowed down to the tree: I never worshipped Santa! But I did enjoy the season I had fun as a kid growing up and with my kids as a grown up! And you can too as long as you keep the proper emphasis; the FIRST coming of Jesus Christ. David H.

For good health and healthy weight, nutrition and physical activity play an important role. Be sure to pack healthy, fun and nutritious foods along with physical activity into your family's daily routine. Depending on their age, many children know the healthful eating basics. And most know that they need to eat smart and move their bodies to stay healthy. The challenge is turning their knowledge into smart eating practices. Children learn their food habits by watching others - not just parents, but also friends. For parents: Your food choices arid lifestyle habits help set your children's food decisions and behavior. Keep a regular meal schedule: When meals aren't reg- ular or when meals are missed, children tend to snack more heavily throughout the day, so they're less hungry at mealtime. Empower your kids: Involve kids in planning meals and snacks. Encourage your.children to try new foods without forcing or bribing them. Keep fresh fruit on the counter where kids can see it. Wash and cut up veggies, so they're ready to eat. Eat as a family: Aim for all family members to eat to- gether at least once a day. Cook fast and eat slowly, al- lowing time for you to pay attention to feeling full. If your family is always "on the go," designate family din- ner nights. Snacks can be healthy: Chosen carefully, snacks can supply nutrients that may be missing from the rest of the day's meals. Children enjoy foods with sensory ap- peal: brightly colored fruits and vegetables; freshly cut watermelon; soft, creamy cheese witH crisp, crunchy crackers. Offer snacks two hours or more before meals, that way kids will be hungry at mealtime. Physical activity: Children need to move for good health. Encourage the whole family to exercise together. Go for a bike ride, play tennis or shoot hoops. Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. Eating smart and moving more can lead your kids to a healthy and successful school year.

There were several young men in my class, about 20 I believe and as I recall, all but three served in the mili- tary during that period. Two of our number were not able to serve due to physical constraints and one of our number was killed in an automobile accident right after graduation I believe. I had a little trouble getting into the military myself due to some foot problems com- monly referred to as "flat feet" and was.turned down by the Marines and the Army. :I never applied to the Navy. The Air Force accepted me and I enlisted for four years. I recently talked to an old friend, John D. Horton who had graduated the year before and enlist- ed in the Air Force. One of the things that we discussed was what I had written concerning the tobacco cropping and so on and all that easy money that was to be made, he reminded me that I had left out one impor- tant event that concerned some things along those lines of the tobacco industry so I'll mention that now.. Many folks won't know but Canada was a major producer of tobacco at that time, in the 1940's and they had some farms up there in Ontario that grew large fields of the crop. Experienced labor for the harvesting and curing of We reserve the right to limit quantities. Items similar as shown. U.S.D.A.

It was a rather lucrative deal too. A person who was 16 or older would be assigned to a par- ticular farmer and if he had the bus fare he was given pa- pers to travel with. I believe they were paying 10 dollars a day at that time and included room and board. In 1948, John D. and myself signed up after we were finished with the crops here and away we went on the Greyhound. Once we were in Canada the bus made a rest stop and some gent was there to meet us and we loaded up and he took us to his farm near Brantford, On- tario. I think we did a little free gratis work also as we were taken to a hay field where we loaded hay and such but no one complained. Talk about good food but those folks knew how to do it, much the same as we were ac- customed to here and the sleeping quarters were quite adequate. The morning started early to tnload a barn and then we worked to fill it again. That was usually completed early in the afternoon and there was at least a little time to idle away. There was a town about 4 miles away and sometimes we would take off and walk there and back but not on a regular basis. When it was time to go back home we took a day or two to' relax at a resort area known as Port m Dover on Lake Erie. This was similar to what you would expect to experi- ence at Jacksonville Beach or other such places. There we ran into sever- al other boys from ' Lafayette County who had been doing the same thing as us. I could describe some of the interesting things that occurred on that trip but will pass that up for now. We took all that money O.A. Winbur, Jr that we brought home and ScrubHammock@aol.com invested it. One further note; make sure you know the exchange rate a of currency before you start spending all that foreign money. If it is not on a par ' with our currency A t then you could come up a little short. Someone suggest- ed that a way to keep repeat offenders out of prison would be to plant a crop of tobacco at the prison and have the inmates harvest it. Just:might work. About the time that I enlisted in the Air Force, Dale Price and John Knight also enlisted and we probably were stationed near each other during basic training but we 'never crossed trails. Dale later accepted an offer to transfer to the Army. At that time there was a critical shortage of platoon leaders in the Army as the Korean War was not going well and some trainees were offered an opportunity to take OTC and receive a commission in the Army to serve in Korea as platoon leaders. Dale went that route and I believe he made a career out of the Army and retired as a Major. . I later learned that J. D. Bell had also joined the USAF and John D. and myself visited him at Lackland AFB as we were returning from leave together. I returned to Mayo and resumed my studies at the UF and later settled in for some more tobacco cropping. John D. wound up with the Duval County's Sheriff's Depart- ment as a helicopter pilot where he retired after many years of meritorious service. Not being one to sit idle, John D. took a job as pilot for the Davis brothers', Winn- Dixie private jet for a few years before finally settling down back in Lafayette County. One more little item about Guy McClain. I will also mention my daddy in this one .as he is a party to an inter- esting event. Sometime during the 1940's, a local family was faced with the need for some expensive surgery to correct a deformity in the leg of one of their children. , This family was apparently not financially able to go through with this expensive operations) and so they sought the assistance of a charity hospital in Jacksonville. Apparently this particular type of surgery was beyond the hospitals normal ability to perform and sponsors) were needed to fund it 'srine their budget did not include the needed funds. : -Guy McClain was the local Red Cross chairman and so he was made very aware of this need and asked to see if there were local sponsors to fund the needs of this family at this time. My daddy was well known to Guy as a benevolent and generous person and he was one of the ones contacted. I was notprivileged to' know the names of those involved because there was no publicity con- cerning this and it was not openly discussed in my pres- ence so what I did know was sort of fortuitous as you will see. ; My daddy passed away in 1980 and as I looked at his records and so on to see if there was any unfinished busi- ness that needed my attention, I found among his bank- ing records, canceled checks which had been paid to the charitable hospital previously mentioned. I recalled some of what had transpired many years ago involving these folks so I contacted someone and informed them that he -ad passed away and asked about the checks to see if he was obligated to them in any way and was told that he had been a sponsor and so on. I asked if there was a balance remaining on his obligation and was told no, that he had paid that many times over and that for many years he had been a regular patron to their charitable endeavors. This is not a solicitation for sponsors.to this worthy in- stitution but if it makes you feel good, do it.

THRDY DECMBE 2,206.Te ayoFre PessPag 7 JV Hornets I picks up second victory by Ed Taylor Sports Correspondent The Lafayette boys junior var- sity basketball team may have gotten off the season on the wrong foot but it appears that Mike Harris' ballclub has right- ed itself in picking up their sec- ond win of the season. It was the second consecutive win for Coach Harris' Hornets. Bran- ford fell to Lafayette 75-47 on their home court. "We are play- ing better basketball," said Coach'Harris. "We seem to be coming together as a team." Arthur Sellers, a freshman, and eighth grader Kade Bell combined for 50 points to lead Lafayette in a balanced attack. Sellers led all scorer's with his 27 points that included four three- point baskets. Devin Bellemy finished in double figures with 11 points. Zach Fleming netted L six points with Austin Ander- L son tossing in.four. Ja'Quan De- t vore hit a three-point basket for his three points. Brook Morris also had three points in the win. Dominique Gamrner and Austin Henderson scored two points each. Lafayette led by as many as 26 points in the game but let Bran- ford make a run at them nar- rowing the margin to 17 points, 47-30. "They made a nice run at ,us kbt, we ,sustained it," said ,;b, J.arris.. "'We forced some .shots: late in the third period and turned the ball over several times and that allowed them to come back." But the Hornets kept their poise and carried the game away behind the scoring of Bel- lamy in the fourth period. Belle- my hit a three-point basket and completed an old-fashion three point play to give his.team a 61-' 32 lead. The Bucanneers got an excel- lent play from John Perry and Dakota Beville. Perry finished with 14 points and Beville added 12 for the Bucs. Coach Harris' ballclub found themselves in an unusual posi- tion as they roared out to a 12-0 lead before Branford could get' on the board. Beville's basket . underneath at the 2:49 mark gave Branford their first basket. The Hornets led 19-6 at the first stop. Sellers scored the last five points for Lafayette just before the quarter ended. Bell had, unofficially, six as- sists for the Hornets in playing a strong floor game. He had two three-point baskets in the con- test. Lafayette will return to the basketball court on January 5 when they travel to Trenton for district play. .AF Lad o le Macklin sends junior Hornets past Branford by Ed Taylor Sports Correspondent S Coach Jerry Hill's junior varsity Lady Hornet basketball team continues to roll after posting a 46-10 win over a good Branford junior varsity team last Thursday night at Branford.

Eileen Givens and Ce- celia Jackson added seven points each while teammates Lindsey Hamlin and Anderson scored four points each. ,Bridget Powe had two points while Massey netted one. Lafayette got out to a quick start and never looked back in securing their third win. The Lady Hornets defense held ,- ",*.LBranford to only two free throws in the fourth quarter. "We played a good defensive game tonight," said Coach AHill. "We had several turnovers and did not shoot the ball That well." Macklin scored nine of her game high 21 points in the first quarter. She scored seven unanswered points in help- ing to establish the lead over Branford. The Lady Hornets raced out to a 17-0 first quarter lead S ~behind the play of Macklin and Hamlin.

Hornets sting Branford 46-38 Lafayette ends losing streak by Ed Taylor Sports Correspondent The Laifaette Hornets ended a four game skid last Thursday night by posting a 46-38 win over a good Branford Bucan- neer team. It was a game that saw the Hornets overcome some early turnover problems as well as offensive woes. Coach Derek Garland said his team has been struggling in both areas of late. "We are struggling shooting the ball right now. We are getting some good looks but they are not just falling," he said. "Hopefully over Christmas we can get some practice in, get our legs under us and get shots back." loseph Edwards and Jonathan Sellers each scored 11 points to lead the Hornets. Eric McIntyre added eight points but those points came late in the game, going scoreless in the first half. Shvler Morgan, who played a strong defensive game, finished with four points as did Jamal Reid and Serigo Perez. Travis Williams led Branford with his nine points followed by NMike Lindle's eight points. Jacob Luinlam netted seven. David Campbell man- aged six points with Dustin Cannon scoring five. Brian Bul- lock finished with three. It was a game with seven lead changes and six ties. Lafayette took the lead for good with 3:55 remaining in the game. Edwards took the ball hard to the basket and was fouled. Completing. the three- 'point play, Edwards gave his team a 37-34 lead they never re- linquished. Free throw shooting down the stretch for the Hor- nets proved to be the difference as well as defense. "We hit some key free throws down the stretch." said the Lafavette coach. The last five minutes of the game Lafayette held the Bucs to two field goals. "That is pretty good defense," said Coach Gar- land. "I thought we turned up our intensity a bit in the fourth quarter. We got the game at the pace we wanted to play." The Hornets biggest lead came at 46-36 before winning by eight. The Hornets had to overcome a quick Branford start as the Bucs rolled out to a 7-0 lead, who led 13-10 after the initial quarter. Edwards Josh Scott had key baskets staking the Hornets to a 21-17 half time lead. The lead changed hands five times in the third period before the Hornets took a 30-28 lead after three quarters on two charity tosses by lames Dees. There were three ties in the fouth period the last coming at 34-34 when the Hornets outscored the Bucs 12-4 over the final four minutes.

The win improved Lafayette to 13-1 on the season but more importantly they remain un- beaten in district play at 3-0. The Lady Hornets played the second straight game without freshman Sun- shine Reid who was suspended for the game. Reid will return after the holidays. Junior Natalie Land led all scorers with her 28 points. Marla Alcazar fin- ished with 14 points and Lillie Prine, who got the start in the absence of Reid, finished with eight points. Sharhonda Cherry had seven points. TaQuelia Macklin added five points and Kelsey Land drilled a three-point basket for her three points. Ana Mon- roy scored two for the Lady Hornets. Branford came out not being intim- idated by Lafayette and played the Lady Hornets close the first quarter. After Lafayette raced out to a 9-0 lead the Lady Bucs scored the next eight to trail 9-8. Land put Lafayette in front with a trey in the opening sec- onds and drained her second three- pointer following Macklin's free throw. Land took a nice pass from Cherry for an easy basket that gave the Lady Hornets the 9-0 lead. Kristy Lynch, who led Branford in scoring with her 15 points, scored back-to-back buckets to narrow the margin to five. Baskets by Sarah Keast and Kristin Stillwell make it a one point game at 9-8. Lafayette led 11-10 before they went on a 9-0 run to lead 20-10 at the first break. After that the Lady Hornets press took the Lady Bucs out of their game as they rolled to a 37-20 half time lead. The Lady Hornets never looked back winning for the 13th time this sea- son. Keast finished with six points for Branford as did Caitlin Dempsey. Stillwell had four points with Brooke Stebbins and Harley Stebbins finish- ing with two points apiece.

From retail chains to warehouse centers, register receipts are testament to the high cost of liv- ing. According to the American Express Everyday Spending index, U.S. households spent $3,240 on average for groceries last year. Other areas of consumer spending continue to show growing dollar amounts as well. For consumers looking to conserve money overall, one of the best ways to save is to shop off-season sales. Many types of merchandise have definitive "seasons" and once the sea- son has expired, stores look to clear out the shelves to make room for new items. Here are some tricks for using end-of- season sales to your advantage: Fall/Winter The cold weather months offer a variety of store sales; New clothing styles typically come into stores in January through March, so you can get a steal on last year's looksZ' Also, winter clothing will start to be discounted to make room for spring apparel. Now's also a good time to price summer-related items. Stores may have an overstock of patio and garden merchan4- dise, including table sets and barbecues. Some' companies,; such as pool and spa retailers, may offer discounts'on pool; purchases and installation during colder months when their services aren't in peak demand. The same can be said for air conditioning system installers. Typically, vehicles show' their worst traits during the winter, so automotive dealer, ships may offer more room for negotiation on vehicles lefg on the lot. Watch for promotions when the next year's mod-' els are due in as well. January is the ideal time to stock up on holiday decora tions, wrapping and all the other trimmings left over from the recent holiday season. Prices could be slashed by 50 per- cent or more. Simply stash, newly bought items away for" ,,next year and be ahead of the game. Spring/Summer With spring cleaning and home renovation on the mind, many retailers put paint, stains and exterior products on sale at this. time. However, the biggest sales and .deepest dis- counts. are typically offered during the "long weekends" that occur, during the warm-weather months. Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends are some of the biggest sale times so take advantage. Now could also be a good time to plan ahead for the frosty: .days of the future. You may be -able to negotiate deals on, new, energy efficient windows, doors and. heating systems, in preparation for winter's wrath. Check to see if there are discounts on snow shovels or'snowblowers when everyone. else isf thinking about hitting the beach. You'll save money and be prepared for the first big snowstorm while neighbors: are dashing to home centers when the blizzards hit. You can probably find discounts on running shoes during the summer as well. Shoe manufacturers often come up with new styles every six months, so discounts in the winter and summer are common. And the same can be said for getting deals on summer clothes once August rolls around.. You'll Shave ample time to show off those. discounts ,.before: .ti warm w%'eather takes a hiatus. By taking creative measures to save money,consumers. can stretch their already 'taut budgets even further.

At times, it can be writing a check when there is not enough money in the bank to cover the check, but most often debt arises through the extension of credit by a credit card company such as Visa, MasterCard, American Ex- press or Discover Card. When an account becomes delinquent by more than sixty (60) days, dun- ning letters are written and if the problem is" not resolved, a lawsuit ean be and usually is filed by the credit card company against the debtor. Since there is no such thing as debtor's prison in the United States, the object of a lawsuit on a delinquent account is to obtain a judgment. A creditor cannot ob- tain a judgment except by going through a court of law, usually the County Court (more than $5,000 but less than $15,000). A judgment is obtained when a Judge enters an order in favor of the creditor granting the relief re- quested by the creditor, which or- der is called a judgment. After a judgment is entered, creditors have many ways to ob- tain the moneys awarded them, such as the right to garnish a debtor's wages, or seek to obtain moneys from a debtor's checking or savings account, or seize and sell a debtor's personal property, place a lien on a debtor's real property and do other things, within established limits, but debtor's have rights, too, even af- ter a judgment is entered against them. Florida Statute 77.04T1 provides that a debtor is EXEMPT from having his or her wages gar- nished, exempt from having mon- ey taken from a bank, savings and loan association or credit union, and exempt from having other property taken from them (by way of seizure and sale, pursuant to execution on a judgment) un- der the following situations: 1. Head of Household. Wages cannot be garnished if the debtor provides more than one-half of the support for a child or other dependent and has NET earnings of $500 or less per week. Even if the debtor earns more than $500 net per week, the wages cannot be garnished so long as the debtor has not agreed, in writing to allow the wages to be gar- nished; 2. The debtor's only source of income is from any of the follow- ing: a) Social Security benefits b) Supplemental Security In- come (SSI) benefits c) Public Assistance d) Worker's Compensation ben- efits; e) Unemployment Compensa- tion benefits; f) Veteran's benefits; g) Retirement or profit-sharing benefits or pension money; h) Life insurance benefits or cash surrender value of a life in- surance policy or proceeds of an annuity contract i) Disability income benefits; or k) Prepaid College trust Fund or Medical Savings Account. There are many other exemp- tions as well. However, to obtain the Exemption, adebtor must complete a form entitled 'Claim of Exemption and Request for Hear- ing' and go before a judge and ask a judge to enter an order find- ing that he or she is, in fact and as a matter of law, entitled to the Ex- emption sought. Even if money or property has already been seized, garnished or otherwise taken, the Statute allows a judge to order the return of the money, under certain limited circumstances. So, the best advise is to spend wisely and stay within your budge, but if you find yourself in a financial bind and fear losing everything because of lawsuits from creditors, know your rights. and protect yourself as best youc can under the law. The foregoing advice is provid- ed by the lawyers at Three Rivers Legal Services, Inc. a nonprofit' corporation which receives funds from various local agencies and individuals as well as from the federal government through the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). For specific advice on your partic- ular situation, we suggest that you consult with a lawyer of your choosing. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you may call your local legal services office to find out if you qualify for free legal assis- tance. and in support of the community, and his bright and shining exam- ple as husband and fa- ther. The biggest and most memorable award was the naming of the court- room as the "Harlow H. Land, Jr. Courtroom." B. Z. Cashman and Jerry Metzger quietly worked together to help bring this project to comple- tion. Metzger stated that he hoped that this creation; a beautifully done wall display, will remain a perpetual tribute to Judge Land and anyone who enters the "Harlow H. Land, Jr. Courtroom" will be reminded of the many things he did for the com- munity through the years. Even Broughton and Laura paid tribute to their father. They spoke passionately about how they loved and looked up to him as a role model. In addition, they stated how much they appreciated everything he has done for them while. growing up, whether it was dur- ing the time when they were in school, at his of- fice, or enjoying family outings., Later during the recep- tion, several of Judge Land's friends, who grew up with him, shared sev- eral stories of the fond memories they had. As- sistant State Attorney Skip Jarvis rose to speak, telling the, audience sto- ries 'about his working re- lationship with Judge Land and how he will miss working with him. At the end of.both the ceremony and reception, Judge Land shared a few fond memories of his. own, told a few jokes, and thanked everyone for the gifts that he,had re-.. ceived while trying to hold 'back the tears of joy that were welling up. "I want to thank all of the people of Lafayette Coun- ty for what you have done for me. I feel very honored. It has been an honor to serve you as your county judge for 22 years," Land said. Argenziano Continued From Page 1A dealt with educational, business, and govern- mental concerns. On a lo- cal level, Ward brought several items to the atten- tion of Argenziano and Boyd that he felt needed to be addressed. One of these issues con- cernerd the need to make all schools equally ac- countable, regardless if it is a public, private, or charter school. "Any char- ter school or private school that gets public funds should still be un- der the same standards of accountability for student performance and finan- cial management as pub- lic schools," Ward said. After hearing this con- cern, Argenziano and Boyd acknowledged this problem and reassured him that they are work- ing diligently to pass leg- islation that would make all schools that are fund- LIWVR-f mIU ILwJ Madison LIVE O A K W IEumugii m 3-1i_'&'_'iCertfied Live Oak -^ 'i-- ---- ^ Hwy. 129 FORD MERCURY OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS IN FORD* ERCURYQUALITY PRE-OWNED INVENTORY Lake City FAX (386) 362-7348 1-800-814-0609 SERVICE PARTS HRS:M-F; 7:30-6:00 M-F 8:00-7:00; SAT.8:00-6:00 2 US 129 NORTH, LIVE OAK, FL BODY SHOP HRS: M-F; 7:30-5:30 i h62 I I12 2= F With $500 FMC Financing Rebate RENTAL DEPT.

Traffic on 1-10 was relatively light when it opened here in the late 1960s, and didn't increase significantly until recently. In the .* last few years the impact of 1-10 on local commerce S- "- has been dramatic. Wal-Mart, Lowe's, restaurants, motels all have been built around the US 129/1-10 "" interchange in recent years. ~ It's been a mixed blessing, said Live Oak Mayor SSonny Nobles. 'The impact on the tax base and the S added jobs are good," he said. "But growth puts S. stress on the infrastructure police, fire, water, sewer, S-etc." Interstate 75 runs through a portion of Suwannee .- County and a lot of neighboring Columbia and Hamil- SP ton COunties and hasn't had nearly as great an im- Spact on the local economy. What if more of 1-75 had run through Suwannee S. County? "We would have lost our rural flavor faster than we already have," said County Commission S-. Chairman Randy Hatch. "We would have had growth o ,. management issues before we were prepared to .- deal with them." - --- Hamilton County has just begun to deal with the is- - sue of growth management, especially with the re- cent construction of a jai alai fronton near the US -- -- 129/1-75 interchange.

Brian Smith, Big Bend Charters This is just a clip from the book Capt. Brian is writing. If you are interested in a copy, just drop us a line and we will put you on the list when the book is finished, hopefully early next year! If air conditioning hadn't been invented, Florida would be less populated than Wyoming. It would take just one Au- gust month without air condi- tioning to empty this state of most of the people in it. There would be a mass northern mi- gration of dehydrated smelly people with stringy oily hair. Those who choose to stay be- hind and endure the heat would later become known as the "Asbestos Indians" as the state reverted back to the wild. That crazy thought trickled through my mind as sweat trickled down the crack of my butt while standing on the oven rack called the deck of my boat last' August praying, for a puff off air. I Then I reminisced of the hot summers growing up in Vir- ginia Beach, Va. One memory sprang to mind, when a neighbor took three of. us young boys fishing on a pier. The recollection went something like this ... The tires crackled over the sun bleached oyster shells that paved the parking lot. We could hear them crunch loudly because the 455 air condition- er completely stopped blowing. when we turned in. Nowadays most folks have never heard of the antiquated 455 air condi- tioner, but back then it was what most all vehicles were equipped with. You see, for the air conditioner to work all four windows had to be. rolled down and the car moving at 55 miles per hour or better. It would even style your hair as you went along. "Well boys let's get un- loaded," Mr. Sullivan said to'- Gilbert, his son, Johnny, a neighborhood friend and me. Mr. Sullivan grabbed all four poles and the five-gallon' bucket and started walking to- ward the front of the parking lot. He stopped, turned and said, "Close the lid when you get the coolers out and hurry up." Two of us were needed to lift the small cooler from the trunk. Gilbert and I sat it on the ground and opened it up. In- side were six half-gallon milk cartons, a plastic gallon jug of tea, four Styrofoam cups and what looked like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches stacked in a bread bag. 'We formed a three-boy chain with coolers in between us. We'd hump it towards the pier for as long as the guy in the middle could last then put down the load and shift one to. the left and continue on with a new guy in the middle posi- tion. We were in sweat soaked agony by the time we made it up to the pier house where Mr. Sullivan waited. "What' took you boys so long?" he said turning away smiling.. He handed the man behind the counter a $10 bill. The man gave him back four bucks and.some change. I no- ticed the fare was a buck a head for us kids. I also noticed the wall of fishing tackle, the stacks of bait buckets, shelves randomly stocked with sun block, cheese and peanut but- ter crackers, T-shirts, cases of Vienna sausages, dusty bottles of hot sauce, big straw hats, cigars, candy bars and other stuff. Everything looked like it had been hanging there for a long time. The dust was a dead give away. Along one wall was a good sized refrigerated case with a small section of soft drinks and a big section of beer; mostly Budweiser in a can. One of the bottom shelves had empty beer flats filled with plastic bags labeled "blood worms." You could see the red worms through the clear plas- tic wadded .up in creepy ball. Every free space on the walls, posts, shelves and counters had a faded photograph of people with fish taped or thumb tacked to it. I kept go- ing from one photo to the next until I was interrupted. "Brian, the man needs to stamp your hand with a pier pass," blurted Mr. Sullivan. The man had stamped the back of everyone else's left hand with a smiley face sym- bol. When I raised my hand to get stamped by the unshaven ape-ishly hairy, fat man in a skin tight; used to be white, tank top, I was shook by the smell of body odor, strong cig- arette and stale beer. I looked at him as he uas stamping my hand. His mouth was agape. What teeth were there hung down from his gums like dried kernels of rotten corn. Strings of elastic spittle connected the top and lower jaw in the cor- ners of his mouth. "There you go kid," he said. I took off for the door. Gilbert and Johnny were al- ready on the outside post of the cooler train. I was happy to get the middle position and leave the pier house. We could see Mr. Sullivan well ahead of us when we started out on the pier. Each of us boys gazed down what had ,to be the longest pier in the world. "How far we got to go?" Johnny asked. "He usually starts fishing near the end," said Gilbert. Somehow, I knew that was going to be the answer, that's why I didn't want to ask the question. Fortunately, a good sea breeze blew across us when we were just a short ways out on the open pier. It felt like a cool fan thick with the smell of salt water. It felt great. We stopped to reposition. I was loving that breeze as we weaved in and around people, trash cans, light poles, coolers,, gobs of tackle and other mis- cellaneous stuff one finds on a ',fishing pier. It was my first,. time on a fishing pier and everything was new to me and fun to watch. We stopped again to reposi- tion. I quickly learned to hold my breath when down wind. of pier trash cans. People throw their unused bait in those cans instead of tossing it in the wa- ter and letting the fish eat for free. The surprise odor of hot 'rotten shrimp, squid, fish or a blended smell of any of which will garner a gag reflex. Again, we stopped to reposi- tion, The weight of those coolers was wearing us out. They must have been gaining weight with each step of the way. Mr. Sul- livan stopped just short of the end of the pier on the left hand side. We were so thankful he 'stopped. We dropped the cool- ers down next to the wooden bench we were going to be fishing by. Johnny 'and I flopped down on the bench. "You boys tired already?" Mi. Sullivan asked as' he smiled and turned away. "You guys want some tea?" Gilbert asked. "Sure," said Mr. Sullivan. Johnny and I gave Gilbert the "good call" look and hopped up to help him. Gilbert handed his dad the first cup of. cold tea. We three kids gulped down two quick cups. I no- ticed the jug was half empty when Gilbert 15ut it back in the cooler. "Mr. Sullivan, what are the guys fishing for at the .end of the pier with those long fishing poles?" I asked. "Kingfish and sharks," re- sponded Mr. Sullivan. I wanted to ask more about it but he seemed to have an agenda that didn't have any- thing to do with kingfish or sharks. Nevertheless, those cluster of fellows concentrating on what lay beyond the end of the pier stuck in my mind. Mr. Sullivan was asked the first question to start an obsession. "Boys, here's how it works," Mr. Sullivan said boldly, be- fore going on to explain how to fish from the pier. All four rods and reels were identical. He picked out one, grabbed a rag from the bucket and began to wipe the dusty grit from the rod and reel. The rod was a white, 42 inch long, stiff, solid fiberglass stick about the di- ameter of a pencil from the tip to where it joined a metal pis- tol grip reel seat that ended in a short cork handle. The rod had a tip and two small metal eyes tied to the pole with red and white thread. The reel was a Penn No. 77. The body of the reel was made of dark brown plastic. Light green plastic handle knobs adorned the crank. Metal tubes spanned across the spool fitting the two sides of the reel together. The reel foot was made of metal. The fancy part of the reel was a small round metal button on the left hand side of the reel that if pushed forward would make a clicking sound when the spool turned forward or backwards. "That's.the clicker," Mr. Sul- livan pointed out, then told us to never use it. There was no lever to take the spool in or out of gear. It was direct drive. The handle spun backwards when line was played out. When you wanted to reel in, you turned the handle forward. It was as simple as it gets.. It looked like .a toy. "This is a bottom rig... ," Mr. Sullivan explained, pulling one from the bucket. It was -a store bought gizmo about 18 inches long. It started with a barrel swivel and ended with a sinap swivel. The two, were connected by a thin plas- tic coated wire. Two light twisted wire arms about six inches in length dangled out from the main plastic coated wire. One was fixed with beads and crimps to stay at the top and other beaded and crimped to hang at the bottom. The two little arms could spin around on the main wire. "Where are the hooks Mr. Sullivan?" Johnny asked. "I'm getting to that part, give me a minute Johnny," Mr. Sullivan shot back. With that 'said, Mr. Sullivan pulled a long plastic sleeve from the bucket. It looked like a see through envelope with a piece of heavy construction paper inside. Mr. Sullivan flipped it around to show us. A line up of leadered hooks was on the: side with the writing. I slid the small cooler over to the railing so I could stand on it and lean over the top of the banister like Mr. Sullivan. Pole in hand leaning over the banister watching the waves far down below I took my thumb off the spool and let the rig plummet down to the wa- ter. When the rig hit the water a snarl of fishing line billowed out of my reel. "Put your thumb on it, put your thumb on it,.Brian!" yelled Mr. Sulli- van. I was a statue when a big thumb pressed against the spool stopping the accident from getting any worse. I felt stupid. "Reel this one up and then we'll work out this birds nest," Mr. Sullivan, said gruffly. His rod had two fish on it when he handed it to me. I reeled them up but didn't feel 'too good about it. The two croakers I took off and put in the cooler before walking over to Mr. Sullivan. He was picking and pulling on the fishing line. In a few long minutes he had the line smoothed out. "Remem- ber you have to keep'light pressure on the spool with your thumb so you won't get a bird's nest" he warned me. "Thanks for the help, Mr. Sullivan," I quietly said.

I felt like a dumb mon- key. My rig still had the shrimp on the hooks, so I stepped back up on the cooler and cau- tiously lowered my rig into the ocean. A salty blow of air climbed in my face as I watched the rig go in the wa- ter. As soon I felt it hit the bot- tom I put my right hand on the handle. As soon as f did that, I could feel the fish popping the bait. I set the hook and sped reeled the fish all the way to the tip of the rod and flung them over the banister onto the pier. I laid the rod down on 'the deck and squatted over the flopping fish like a rice farmer. The fish went in the cooler. My bait was gone so I went for another shrimp when I heard. "'Use the squid it will last longer." Those words came from Mr. Sullivan who had been watching me the en- tire time. Gilbert and Johnny had laid a gob of squid on the bench' end.and laid a small wet towel over it. I wondered why they put the bait where we might end up sitting on it. So I asked Johnny. "Mr. Sullivan told us to put it there because if we left it on the cutting board or up on the banister the sea gulls would carry it off and eat it," Johnny said. I looked around the pier and saw dozens of sea gulls perched up around the sinks, trash cans and those fishing. They were sitting, waiting for a fast food opportunity. The skies have eyes. The wet tow- el was to keep -the food hid- den, as well as, to keep the sun from baking it dry; I guessed; I learned. I took two strips and pinned them on my hooks. Mr. Sulli- van was steady putting fish in the box and Gilbert and John- ny were just getting started. Up on the cooler I went and down went my bottom rig. Again when the bait hit the bottom it was instantly picked up by two croakers. It went on like that for an hour. . Gilbert and Johnny tried to go to the other side of the pier but Mr. Sullivan called them back. "Why can't we fish on the other side Mr. Sullivan?" Johnny asked. "Son, the tide has just start- ed coming in," Mr. .Sullivan replied. "So," quipped Johnny, "oh the other side your baits will get washed up under the pier and get hung up." I thought things aren't as random as they first seemed. For that hour we all were pick- ing up fish as fast as we could get the bait to the bottom. I'd never experienced anything like it. It didn't even feel like fishing. If you had enough skill to get bait 'to the bottom without making a mess, you could catch a fish. I found my- self totally in the moment. The heat was gone. There was no wind. There were no odors. I was alone amongst many.
