Seven members of the communi- ty are vying for the posi- tions of town clerk and seats one, three, and five. The incumbents are Lin- da Cone, Ken Hewett, Ter- ry Sullivan and Ann Mur- phy. Their opponents are Tamara Pridgeon, Delores Terry Sullivan Walker and Wayne Ham- lin. TO N CLERK Pridgeon, who is cam- paining against Cone for town clerk, has roots in the county and graduated from Lafayette High School in 1985. She cur- rently works as clerk at Wayne Hamlin Ann Murphy Dowling Park and has been employed there for approximately five years. Although this is the first time she has campained for an election, Pridgeon stated she is looking for- ward to the challenge of performing the duties of town clerk. Cone has served as Town Clerk since 2004. SEAT ONE Walker is competing against Hewett for seat one. "Deciding to run for a town council seat was in- fluenced mostly by my de- sire to be a part of the de- cision making for the t6wn of Mayo," Walker said. She says she has fall- en in love with the town since her family moved here in 1959 from Perry. Hewett seeks re- elec- tion to seat one, having served in that capacity since 2004.

When I asked her, "how are you to- '>day?" she said, "I am blessed" and quoted, "This is the day which the Lord 'hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it," (Psalm 118:24). I continued the dis- cussion by saying, "People would be so much happier if they would talk about all the blessings God has pro- vided instead of dwelling on the negative." She agreed. From that, somehow, the subject turned to love. SFleshly love (eros), brother- ly love (philios) and of course the kind of love God has for his people (agape) .were all briefly discussed. And then she said, "no one has ever been able to define' love." We thought about it o-'but loud for a few minutes and decided, "maybe that is. '$why we are supposed to T ive it out; express it, rather 'than talk about it!", She nod- - ded in agreement and soon thereafter left the store with her niece with whom she David H. Matier, DPC Christian/Biblical Counseling " mailto:dmatier@alltel.net" dmatier@alltel.net 091007 was spending the day. But you know regarding the above, Jesus did say, "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you "These things I command you that ye love one another," (John 15:12-14, 17) Apparently, His design was for His peo- ple to live out or express their love in their actions to- ward one another, not just talk about it. Hal Winston McCray Hal Winston McCray, 66, died on September 9, 2007 in Tallahassee. He is survived by his beloved wife: Phyllis Marie Padgett McCray. Hal was born in Mayo, and was a longtime resi- dent of Tallahassee. Hal served in the Army Re- serves for six years and at- tained the rank of Staff Sergeant. He has been a very active participant in community activities. Hal has served on the Board of Directors of the Flag Feder- al Credit Union for over 20 years. He has been actively involved in youth baseball programs and served years as an officer of the Florida High Athletic Boosters. Hal began his career with the Department of Agricul- ture and Consumer Ser- vices in 1962. Over the years, he served the de- partment in several posi- tions including in 1987 be- ing appointed Chief of the Bureau of General Services in the Division of Adminis- tration, and in 1988 he was appointed Chief of the Bu- reau of Animal Health Compliance in the Division of Animal Industry and re- tired as a Senior Manage- ment Analyst II in 2003. During Hal's 41 years of service with the Depart- ment of Agriculture his job expertise was diverse and invaluable. He was recog- nized throughout the Na- tion for his knowledge of rules on inter/intrastate movement of livestock. His expertise in preventing dis- eased animals from enter- ing the state was priceless. As a result of his knowl- edge and contributions to the department, Hall was selected as the 1993 recipi- ent of the Commissioner's Award for Sustained Supe- rior Achievement. Other survivors include one son, Kevin McCray (and wife Michelle) of Tampa, daughter-in-law Darla McCray of Tallahas- see, three grandchildren; Killian and Jaden McCray of Tampa, Crews McCray of Tallahassee, sister; Mary McCray Eustice of Al- pharetta, Ga., brother; Charles Wayman McCray (and wife Dwala) of Mayo. Hal' was preceded in death by his son, Hal Gre- gory McCray of Tallahas- ,see, parents, Lester and Lela McCray, sister, Betty Jo McCray and his brother, Leland McCray all of Mayo. He was loved and will be missed by numerous other family members and dear friends. Services were held on Thursday, September 13, 2 p.m. at Mission Road Church of God in Tallahas- see.

Stafford Harding Putnal Stafford Harding Putnal of Macon, Ga, died Wednesday, September 12, 2007 following a brief ill- ness. Memorial services were held on Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of Hart's Mortuary in Macon, Ga., with his brother, Joedy Putnal, officiating. Visitation was held Fri- day, from 5 until 6:30 p.m. at Hart's Mortuary. Burial was private. In lieu of flow- ers, the family requested that donations be made to Myeloma Institute for Re- search and Therapy, Uni- versity of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, 4301 West Markham Street, Slot 816, Little Rock, AR 72205- 9985. Mr. Putnal was born De- cember 14, 1923 and was the son of the late Zebblin H. Putnal and the late Leo- la Stafford Putnal. He was a district sales manager for Independent Life Insur- ance Company, Macon, Ga., retired after 44 years of service. He was prede- ceased by his brothers and sisters, Homer T. Putnal, Carl J. Putnal, Harry F. Put- nal, Tamsy Mae Putnal Jackson, James Putnal, Clabe W. Putnal, Pansy P. Denby, Joseph W. Putnal and Zack Putnal. His career of 44 years in insurance was spent grooming men and helping them to become successful in their careers. He helped many people from Lafayette County find a profession in the insurance business. There were few jobs available there, so they went to Macon to work un- der S.H., as he was com- monly called, and they had much success. In fact, two of the men who began their careers under Stafford be- came officers of the insur- ance company. He was in- deed a builder of men. Mr. Putnal excelled ,in business himself. He went into the insurance business without much formal edu- cation. In Jacksonville, he was a world away from the rural setting of Lafayette County, but not only did he survive, he prospered. However, the road was not an easy one. There were many hurdles but he never gave up. He gave that tenacity to all of those who worked around him. His nature, which was always to fight the hurdles, and win, win, win,.never giving up, never being defeated, was the driving force that made him have so much personal success in life. Not only was he that way in business, but in all.walks of life. Survivors: wife, Mavis Putnal of Macon; sons and daughters-in-law, Rex and Gayle Putnal, Steve and Kay Putnal,- Gary Putnal, Greg and Wade Putnal, Stan and Kay Putnal; daughter and son-in-law, Zeta P. and-David Rown- tree; 13 grandchildren; 1 great grandchild. Hart's Mortuary, of Ma- con, Ga. was in charge of arrangements. .Sign online guest book at www.nflaonline.com. Grandparent saying...

Crop and weather conditions I,,- p~A~w Grandparents. say thank you to LES students On Friday morning, September 7, the Parent - Teacher Organizationr (PTO) at Lafayette Elementary school sponsored a lovely 'continental breakfast for grandparents. Children were called from their classrooms to join their grandparents in the cafeteria. The lines were long but worth the wait for the delicious glazed doughnuts, juice, milk and coffee. "Waiting in line with our grandchildren gave us time to chat with them about their teachers, friends, classes and schedules. It also allowed us time to' impart en- couraging words about striving to meet the bench- marks for success." Grandparents play a special role in the lives of their grandchildren. Many children are being raised or sup- ported by their grandparents. It is nice to be included in their lives at school also. Thanks for providing this opportunity for us.

Did You Know? Upon reaching a certain age, all men should be screened for prostate can- cer annually. In general, men 501 and 'over should be screened every year. Men who fall into higher risk categories for prostate can- cer, such as African Ameri- cans, should be screened annually starting at the age of 45, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Early detection of prostate cancer makes treatment far more effec- tive. There are two types of screening tests for prostate cancer, and the ACS recom- mends men undergo both each year. A PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test checks man's bloodstream for excessive levels of PSA. If the prostate is experi- encing problems, including cancer, it will release more and more PSA into the bloodstream. This test is quick and easy, as only a small amount of blood is re- quired to check a man's PSA levels. The second test is known as a Digital Rectal Exam (DRE). This is the test most men instantly associ- ate with prostate checkups and it's a reason many men avoid having their prostate checked. Procedure for a DRE involves a physician manually checking for any abnormalities in size, shape or texture. o Ws u MAYO FREE PRESS Published weekly every Thursday, USPS #334-600 Phone: (386) 294-1210 Fax: (386) 294-2666 Myra Regan, Linda Smith, Ira Mikell Publisher Manager Reporter Annual subscription rate: $16 in county / $23 out of county Periodicals postage paid at Mayo, Florida POSTMASTER: Send address changes to: The Mayo Free Press P.O.

The plant sits on approximately 900 acres and employs 75 people in the work area as well as 15 individuals in the administration and sales departments. "We have en- try level general labor technicians, skilled mechanics, electricians, quality control technicians, control room op- erators, equipment operators, and senior management positions," Tom Messer, manager of SAC, said. SAC chose Branford because of the rich resource of limestone in the area. "The main resource required for the manufacture of cement is limestone. The Anderson Mining site has over 70 years of reserves making it-a per- fect location for a cement plant," Messer said. In a single month, SAC produces roughly 80,000 tons of cement, according to Messer. At the end of a year, it averages one million tons.. At this time, SAC is not planning any expansion to its facility, but according to Messer, the plant is capable of adjusting should the need arise. SAC has received various awards for its service, contri- butions to the community, and its dedication to protect- ing the environment. "Suwannee American Cement has international certifications in ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 14001 for environment and OHSAS 18001 for safety. In 2006, Suwannee American Cement was also nominated for a national award by the Florida Department of Envi- ronmental Protection and received an award for Environ- mental Excellence from the United States Environmental Protection Agency," Messer said. i <.

You can have more than one contact by simply naming them ICE1, ICE2, etc. Think of it this way.... someone is in a vehicle that is involved in an accident and that person is uncon- scious when help arrives. All that we need to do is find the cell phone, look in the address book or con- tacts folder, find the word' ICE and dial that number. Whoever is designated as your emergency contact will then be notified. An- other scenario is that when your child is up town or at a ballgame and something happens that a parent or guardian needs to be con- tacted, again all we will have to do is look for ICE in the contacts folder or ad- dress book and retrieve the emergency number need- ed.

Hollis recently said the annual event would be geared this year more to- wards traditional pioneer day activities such as a to- bacco spitting, preparation of homemade baked goods and an apple bobbing con- test. "We appreciate all the support we receive, for without it Pioneer Days would not be as successful towards traditional flay 'i-f1*. -ast year's Pioneer Day parade featured a reenactment and enjoyable as it is each year," Hollis said.

Estimates 0a NORTH FLORIDA FOCUS SEPTEMBER 19 20, 2007, PAGE 5C We Take SHealth to Your L HeartI Exploring the dark side of the sun Despite the warnings of experts, millions of people continue to go about their days with little concern about sun damage. However, too much sun exposure can significantly damage human skin in varying degrees. Whether you are walking the dog, heading out to the.car, sitting indoors by a window or spending time outside when it is cloudy, you are being exposed to harmful UV rays. The heat of the sun dries out areas of unprotected skin and depletes the skin's supply of natural lubricating oils. In addition, UV radiation can cause burning and long-term changes in the skin's structure, in addition to cancer. Those who have been exposed to the sun long-term may experience extrinsic aging, which is an early aging caused by repeated exposure. The skin may show lines, wrinkling and lose its elasticity. In addition, age or other forms of discoloration marks may appear. PREVENTION Taking active steps to shield oneself from the sun is key to keeping skin healthy. Some people are more susceptible to sun damage than others, so they must be extra diligent in their protection efforts. These individuals include fair-skinned people; those who take certain medications such as antibiotics, which may cause heightened sensitivity to the sun; people who live close to the equator or in higher elevations; those with a family history of skin cancer; and those who spend a lot of time outdoors participating in work or recreation activities. To safeguard the skin, take these measures:. Cover up Search for shade at every possible occasion. Wear wide-brimmed hats and firmly woven, loose-fitting, full-length clothing for additional protection. Also, wear sunglasses that block 95 to 100 percent of UV rays to protect the eyes. Sunblock Sun protection should be applied 20 minutes prior to leaving the house, whether indirect or direct sun exposure is expected. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a product that offers an SPF of 15 or higher with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Areas to focus on include the face, ears, lips, neck and the scalp if hair is thinning. For extended exposure, reapply every few hours. Don't substitute Some people think that indoor tanning beds are safer than. outdoor tanning. This is not the case. Watch the clock The sun is the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so limit exposure during these times. Try to do outdoor activities in the early morning or in early evening when the sun isn't so powerful. TREATMENT There are many people who now wisely take care in the sun, but may have previous sun damage from their youth or when they were less informed. There are a range of treatments for sun damage which include nonprescriptive, prescriptive and cosmetic options.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs): AHAs remove dead skin cells from the surface and increase moisture levels below to create a smoother, more healthy skin tone. Antioxidants, like vitamins C and E: These substances work from within to stimulate the formation and support of the skin, including collagen production. They can also,be applied topically to lower the appearance of wrinkles and skin discoloration. Retinol: This substance is pure vitamin A. It is important in the structure of healthy skin and stimulating the renewal of keratinocytes, which are the cells that synthesize keratin. Keratin is a protein that makes up hair, skin and nails. Retinol can smooth and soften skin. 2. Prescriptive: These treatments are prescribed by a dermatologist based on the severity of skin damage. Tretinoin: This gel or cream has been shown to reverse sun damage and smooth the skin in a number of weeks. It can also fade brown spots and improve skin texture. Hydroquinones: These topical treatments reduce the production of melanin, the substance which colors the skin and is responsible for tanning. This treatment helps remove overpigmented cells while enhancing skin tone and clarity. 3. Cosmetic: Cosmetic procedures involve a trip to the dermatologist or perhaps a plastic surgeon. Chemical peels: A chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the outer layer. Redness and irritation may occur, but as the skin regenerates, the results may be smoother and softer skin. Microdermabrasion: The outer layer of skin is gently scraped away to encourage new growth. Fine lines, discoloration and texture can occur after multiple applications. Collagen injections: Injections fill out wrinkles or scarring caused by sun damage. Regular'injections may be necessary. Laser resurfacing: A laser essentially removes the outer layers of skin to improve appearance. GREGORY D.

The other day I was looking in the classified for baby furniture to fill our nursery. That's when I saw an ad for a free cat that needed a good home. Ever since my cat died a year ago, I've been toying with the idea of getting another one. The issue now is that I am 5 months pregnant with my sec- ond child. I think it's the perfect time to get another cat. This new pet would have 4 months to get acquainted to the house and my 2-year-old son before there's a cry- ing baby in the nursery. My husband, on the other hand, thinks the oppo- site. He believes it's better to wait until sometime after our child is born, probably years since he does- n't love cats. I think it's just a ploy to avoid cleaning the litter box again. Wouldn't it be better if we get the cat now before I'm too busy with the baby? Cash: Between changing diapers and cleaning a litter box, your husband's going to be a busy man... Carry: ...with some smelly jobs! Cash: There are a lot of factors to consider when adding a pet to the fami- ly, especially a growing family. The cat's personality plays a big role. . Before you make any decisions, you will want to meet the free cat to see if it's even a good match. Carry: A cat with an aggressive behavior or other similar issues may best be left for a family without a new- born. However, if the feline is even- tempered and docile, then you could have a good fit. Cash: The decision to bring it home, though, may be a tougher one. Carry: From your husband's perspec- tive, a cat may seem like a lot of work with a newborn, yet easier to care for once a routine is more established. Cash: However, many people are' comfortable having a pet around a new- born provided they have spent some time training the cat. For example, you can let it explore the baby's crib or bath tub, but make sure it knows that the baby's room is off limits. Carry: As your delivery date approaches, be sure to scale back the amount of time you spend with the cat so it learns to share the attention. If you train the cat as if the baby has already arrived, then it will have an easier time adjusting to the newborn. Cash: Of course, getting your hus- band to adjust may take a little longer! CiUSSIRBI Duane "Cash" Holze & Todd "Carry" Holze Leashes of Gold For many people, pets are true family members. And some owners are taking that notion to the bank. Take the case of Canada's wealthiest cat. After amassing a small fortune as a gardener, Dave Harper passed away and left his 1.1 mil- lion dollar estate to his beloved cat, Red.. A local church oversees the administration of the funds in accor- dance with the will. But this cat is not alone. Recently, billionaire Leona Helmsley left a 12 million dollar trust fund to her Maltese dog named Trouble.' Cultured Cats Cats are an established part of our culture. It's no wonder we have turned them into animated characters that have lasted for generations. Felix the Cat, for example, has been around since silent films and transitioned into television cartoons inthe 1950's. Then there's Sylvester the cat. He spent a career try- ing to catch Tweety Bird in Looney Tunes cartoons. Today, the most famous cat is the lasagna-loving Garfield. First debuting in 1978, he is now the most syndicated cartoon in newspapers and has even made it to the big screen. Got a question or funny story? Let us hear it.

Robert Sturman has traveled the world to capture the images of his art. Now, he brings that vision to the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts. Sturman's art was the centerpiece for the 2004 Grammy Awards. He created what is considered the official portrait for blues legend B.B. King's 80th birthday. The King portrait is to be included in the arts center show, which is one of four new exhibits opening to the public this evening. An adherent of Buddhist thought, Sturman has manipulated images of monks throughout his journeys. Though a California-based artist, Sturman has traveled the world pursuing the images which start with the immediacy of laying his eyes on scenes in Rome, India, Laos, New Orleans, Cuba, San Francisco and many other locations. The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts has described Sturman's medium as Polaroid manipulation. Older generations will recall the Polaroid Insta-Matic which created an image before your eyes on a card with a square of film emulsion. Within minutes, the opaque -emulsion transformed into a colorful photographic image. The artist's Web site, www.robertsturman.com, describes the process: "Each of his pieces begins with an original image created with a Polaroid SX-70 camera, instant photographic film, and meticulously considered lighting. As soon as the image comes out of the camera, Sturman warms it up to keep Artist Robert Sturman's official 80th birthday portrait of B.B. Kin Photo: Valdosta Daily Times the chemical emulsions fluid - depending on his locale when shooting, source heat might be the sun in the tropics, or the warmth of his winter coat in cooler climes. "On site wherever he is in the world, Sturman then immediately carves into the still wet and supple surface of the photo with a variety of handmade tools until he feels the' image has been manipulated and transformed to its ultimate potential. The piece is later enlarged using an optimally high-resolution scanner, and a process through which none of the original light radiance or color luminosity is lost. Because Sturman chooses his subject matter in advance with its inherent color values in mind, his palette is extraordinary. Coupled with the impressionistic 'brushstrokes' of Sturman's hand implements, the result is as pure a fusion of painting and photography as exists anywhere." The results are images that appear to be a hybrid of paint and photography. It appears to be a painted photograph or a photographic painting. His color and lighting choices are stunning. The images appear to be painted with a moving light that has left the echoes of its passing. This has the promise of being a remarkable exhibit, and it is only one of four new shows available at the arts center. Dean Poling writes for the Valdosta (Ga.) g. Daily Times.
