Rumor or Reality: Are Salaries,

Raised Rates Connected?


By Ginger Jarvis -
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The ugly head of rumor
appeared before the Madison
City Commissioners at their
regular meeting on August 8.
The board addressed the ques-
tion of a connection between
increased water/sewer rates
and a planned raise system for .
the commissioners.
The matter arose during a. Tm Tuckey
presentation by Tom Tuckey, who presented a letter
from Buddy McWilliams. The letter requested the
board to amend the recently-approved ordinance that
ties the city commissioners' salary to that of the
county commissioners. (The city board would be
paid one-third of the county commissioners' pa\.)
Tuckee referenced the letter's statement that the
closing of Smithfield will adversely affect the cit.
budget, .nd that a raise at this point nmiught not be fea-


sible.
Mayor Judy McGhee stat-
ed, "The majority of our
Landowners are on fixed in-
come. We have heard rumors
that raises in the water and
sewer rates will fund the com-
missioners' salary. That is not
true." She cited an emnplo.ee
salary increase last year that
did not include the commis-
Judy McGhee sioners. "We have looked at
the formula for the pay increase and held the first
reading of the ordinance before Smithfield an-
nounced it would close."
Commissioner Jim Stanley commented that he
had not known the salary when he ran for office. "I
have always wanted to, serve the people of Madison,'"
he said. "I was appalled that there was no plan for the
coiminussioners to get a pay raise while the other em-

A Sin Is A Sin In God's Eyes


On 'our 96th Birthday,

3 Salute Nou, 31ather !!
Tuesday, August 15th was a
very special day for our family.
My father, William Buford
Selman, turned 96 years old that
very day. He was born on Au-
gust 15, 1910. inArmuchee, Ga., ,
(which is near Rome, Ga.), to
Lottie and Jonah Selman. he
was was oldest son of a family
of six children.
Dad's mother was a music w
teacher in Armuchee, and area
children would come to her ,
house to learn how to play the piano. I remember the many years
we would go visit them in the summers, and how much we, too, en-
joyed playing onher piano, and listening to her plan.
His dad was a rural mail carrier, and consequently, knew
everyone-in the area, and they knew him.
In hi's immediate family were Jessie, the oldest (and the only
girl), who has passed away. She and her husband, Cyril, owned ah
restaurant, and we always loved to go eat there when we visited in
Armuchee.
Then, the second-born was Dad, who was born Aug. 15, 1910.
Dad finished high school in Armuchee, and worked in repair for a-
telephone/exchange company with Southern Bell. Then, during
the depression, he worked for the Georgia Agicuilure Dept.-iin-
specting Cotton. This is the job that brought him to Madison,
where for three years he was a Statistician n ith the United States
Cotton Crop Service. He later worked with the Van H. Priest Co. as
their head bookkeeper foritheir many dime storesin Florida and
Ga. He stayed with the Priests for about l6 years. After he and
mother married, they opened Lucile's Dress Shop next door to the
dime store, and ran it together for 60 years, until it burned when
downtown Madison got fire in 1997. Dad said then that this was
simply the Lord's way of saying, "Buford, it's time to take Lucile,
and go home."
Third in line was his brother, Roy, who was a real estate in-
"e'6stor, who fiad th lumber ard 'and a Saw Mill business, as well.
oR6 is also dceas'ed. Roy's ife. Iftene, is stilfliving ,ith her
daughter, Linda, and her husband.near Rome.
The fourth child in line was my Uncle Gordon Selman, who
lives right here in Madison. He followed his brother, Buford, to
Madison after he finished school in Rome, and worked with Van HI.
Priest &.Co. for many years as one of the warehouse foremen, un-
til his retirement. He and his wife, Hettie, whom he met in M1di-
son, have two children, Martha and Don. Martha lives in Tallahae -
see, and Don lives in Madison.
The fifth child in line was his brother, Clyde, whom dad said
he was given the pleasure to name. Clyde was the Vice-President
of the First National Bank in Rome; Ga. for many years, and he,
too, knew everyone in the area. Just last year when The Husband
and I were at St. George Island for a few days, we were sitting on
the beach one day when a nice lady from Ga. joined us. She told
us she grew up in Rome, Ga., and I told her I had an uncle who
worked for the bank there. When I told her it was Clyde Selman,
she grinned, from ear-to-ear, and with tears in her eyes, she told me
a story of how her husband had died and'she didn't know anything
about his business affairs, or their bank accounts, and how my un-
cle Clyde and had sat down with-hei and showed her everything
about what her husband and set aside for her and how they had:
worked every detail out, so she would have no worries to go
through. She told me that she always considered my uncle Clyde
one of the finest men she had evei known.
The sixth child of the family was James, the baby. James
stayed in Armuchee and built houses and did home maintenance
work in the area. James, also, is deceased. So, the only living chil-
dren of his family now, are Dad and Gordon, both here in Madison,
and both very close to one another.
Our immediate family has been blessed to have had the patri-
arch of our group with us for these wonderful 96 years. (Of course,
I wasn't with him all 96 years. If I do my arithmetic correctly, and,
I'm an English major because Icannot do math well,our father was
just 29 years old when my twin brother, Wiley, and I were born on
March 10, 1939.)
Our older sister, Roberta Lucile Selman, was born 18 months
before us, in 1937. Then after Wiley and I were born, they waited
10 years to have another child. (Can you blame them? I mean three
children in 18 months?)
Susan Lee Selman, our sister was born in 1949, and two years
after that, William Buford "Bill" Selman, Jr. was born in 1951.
We had the best parents in the world, and for this reason, I
salute the greatest father in the world.
Thanks, Dad, for all you have done for us, and are still doing
as the patriarch of our family.
"Nuff said...Bye for now...See 'ya.
"Children Do Not Realize"
As children, we can't comprehend or fully realize
The meaning of a father's love; How tender and how wise,
His patience and his guidance. His helpful caring ways,

But, as we grow, we understand, for we look back and see a
Through older eyes and wiser hearts, his love and loyalty.
It's these and many other things that make him grow more dear,
More admired, and more appreciated with every passing year

We have received "letters to the editor" in abundance dur-
ing the past week, concerning the "Money Embezzled" story
that we printed a couple of weeks ago. Some letters we could
print, and some we could not.
We agree to the fact that as Christians we are called upon to
help God's "lost sheep." We agree that when we help a fellow
brother "find the grace of God" that God smiles down upon us.
We agree that if slapped in the face we should turn the other
cheek. .... .
But....... America is America today because of our laws
that govern this land. If someone breaks one of those laws then
that person should be held accountable.. And yes......we
know..... we all will be held accountable for ALL our sins, when
we stand before God and our "Book of Life" is opened.
However, we would like to ask a question to all that say
"turn a blind eye, and help this brethren.','
Let's pretend that. one night you go out to a dinner and a
movie. Upon returning to your house you find that it has been
broken in to.- Upon investigating, you find that many item's have
been stolen. Among those items are your television,. stereo,
VCR/DVD, microwave, your wedding china .ind Sil er, all your
jewelry, your husband's guns, your children's boom-boxes, your
children's jewelry, the money you had hidden in your sock
drawer, and your children's money that they had hidden in their
rooms. -
So, you call the police and they come take fingerprints. The
following week you receive a telephone call that the police have
captured the two men that broke into your house and stole your
things.
Here's your question........ are you going to press charges?
Or, are youi going to turn the other cheek and let them no on their
merry way?
: Our best bet here is that \ou (WE ALL) \ would press
charges So the next question xwouldbe.....that make-, one in-
stance different than the other? \re belie\e.... NOTHING..
Stealing is stealing. \Vhy would'you help one brethren but not
dhe other? Just because it happened IN church does NOT make


it any better.
We could really get in deep and go further into more
heinous crimes. Our jails and prisons are FULL of "lost sheep."
If we turn our cheeks to ALL wrong doings then we are filling
our streets with criminals that can continue to hurt our children,
and our children's children. For instance.....what if a man rapes
your daughter? He is IN FACT a lost sheep; What are we to do?
Do we prosecute or do we let him go free? And don't say steal-.
ing is different than rape!!! A sin is a sin in God's eyes. All sin
is the same in HIS eyes.
We, by all means, are. not trying to judge, prosecute, and
condemn any ONE person in this letter. The entire message
here is to only say..... We have laws in this country for a rea-
son. We are ALL supposed to be held accountable for our deci-
sions we make in our lives, while ON this earth. The Lord Je-.
sus will hold us .accountable for our' sins once we pass though
thii \ orldly existence., Until then. we have rules and'la\ s that
we are to be governed by while here. What makes one man dif-
ferent than another man? What makes one crime better than an-
other crime? What makes one lost sheep different than another
lost sheep?
If we are to begin this tradition, then we will have no need
for policeman in this country. If all crimes are to begin being
met and answered with "forgive and forget" then we can abol-
ish all jails and prisons and begin living as "protect your own";
There will be NO laws to live and abide by. Our children (nor
ourselves) will'be safe. If we open all jail cell doors and let out
all. criminals, so that we may better help them, what in the world
do you think would happen?
Another question might be........Let's pretend that banks
were non-existant and all movie\ was' kept in a safe inside the
church. One night someone broke into the church office, and
opened the safe. and stole $53,000. \\hat \ would the reaction be
then? Should that person be prosecuted, or let go free?
Are we going to send a message to all church go-ers across
this county "Take as you see fit. No punishment will be imple-
mented, as long as )ou attend church regulary"

Money Missing From Church


I for one agree with the recent letters about the church
losing money.
Who is anyone to judge each other?

God commanded? If you haven't you've stolen from God.

Sins Call For Punishment


Dear Editor:
I have read with interest the last two weeks, both Jacob Be-
mbry's article on the funds, which were embezzled at Madison
First Baptist Church, as 'well as the letters in which people said
we should forgive Sonny Arnold, who apparently admitted tak-
ing the funds and then begging for forgiveness.
While I do not attend that church, I am a Christian. In the
Bible, we read of people who did not follow God's laws and
they begged for forgiveness but still they had to pay the conse-
quences.
What happened when David committed adultery with Bath-
Sheba and got her pregnant and then sent her husband to the
front of a raging battle, knowing that he would be killed? David
asked God to forgive him and He did. Still, David suffered pun-
ishment because the child that Bath-Sheba had, died, although
David cried out for its life to be spared. God told David that the


sword would never leave his house. Look at what is happening
to Israel today. The sword has never' left its house.
When the two thieves hung on the cross on each side of Je-
sus, they were there because they were thieves. There is no evi-
dence that they were murderers. One of the thieves admitted that
he should be there.and asked Jesus to forgive him. That thief
was forgiven and he went to Heaven. Still, his life was not
spared that day.
Man still has laws against theft. While the person who com-
mits the crime 'may ask for forgiveness, they still have to face
the consequences.
It's not up to me to judge Sonny Arnold. I don't think that
people should judge Jacob Bembry's integrity as a journalist to
present the facts as they were presented to him, either.
Thank you,
Emily lobins

Stossel
John Stossel is an award-winning ABC News reporter for
the popular show "20/20." His beat is consumerism; he reports
on. topics that are of interest to consumers. After something like
30 years of investigative journalism, he has written a couple of
books that compile many of the lessons learned. He's a good
writer and hals an interesting message both of his books have
made the New York Times Bestseller list.
I recently read his latest book, "Myths, Lies, and D6wnright
Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel Why Everything You Know Is
Wrong." It's an intriguing title, isn't it?
A quick glance through the table of contents reveals some
interesting and varied topics. For example, here are the titles of
a handful of chapters: Clueless Media; He and She; Bashing
Business; Monster Government; Stupid Schools; Consumer
Cons; The Lawsuit Racket: and Perils of Parenting.
Stossel composes an easy-to-digest format where he identi-
fies a myth, followed by the truth, and then spends several para-
graphs exploring the difference. Each point contains a lot of ev-
idence to back up his assertion, evidence uncovered through
years of investigative journalism. In a nutshell, what Stossel dis-
covered is that there is a lot of so-called "conventional wisdom"
that turns out to be not only unwise, but unsupported by fact as
well.
Alot of what Stossel uncovers is the result of lazy and often
irresponsible journalism by the main stream media. Probably
this is the reason his first chapter is devoted to the "Clueless Me-
dia." I stippo.e this is Stossel's own version of Bernard Gold-
berg's "Bias" that I reviewed for you in a column earlier this
,year. There is another factor involved frequently the journalist
is out of his league. completely unfamiliar \ ith the topic, partic-
ularly if it is scientific in nature. I guess that journalism students
don't come with much background in topics like economics, en-
gineering, math, and the sciences which puts them at risk of ac-
cepting whatever they are told. And don't discount the effect of
political correctness if something is "PC," a reporter with their
eye on the popular culture is very likely to ignore contrary evi-
dence.
Let me give you some of the "lies" which Stossel exposes.
NI ith: Chenucal pollution is the cause of the cancer epidemic:
Truth: There is no cancer epidemic.,Myth: DDT causes all kinds
of cancers and nearly-wiped out etern bird in the world; Truth:
DDT saves lives. Myth: Women are worse drivers than men;
Truth: Men are worse.
Myth: Government must make rules to protect us from busi-
ness; Truth: Competition protects us if government gets out of
the way. Myth; Drug companies are evil price gougers; Truth:
The higher the price of drugs, the more beneficial drugs will be
available. Myth: A higher minimum wage helps workers; Truth:
A higher minimum wage helps some workers but hurts more.
Myth: If the main stream media say it's a big problem, it is;
Truth:. If it has to do with economics, the main stream media fre-
quently get it wrong. Myth: Business believes in free markets;
Truth: Most business people couldn't care less about free mar-
kets, and will stifle competition if it serves their interest. Myth:
Republicans shrink government; Truth: Republicans say they
will, but they don't. Myth: Vote for me I'll cut the waste;
Truth: Not on this planet.
Myth: Environmental regulators are impassionate scientists;
Truth: Many are radical activists. Myth: The President and Con-
gress run America; Truth: The people run America. Myth: Pub-
lic schools are underfunded; Truth: Public schools have plenty of
money. Myth: Vouchers will hurt the public schools; Truth:
Vouchers make all schools better. Myth: Premium dog food is
better; Truth: Not to your dog. Myth: Buying on the internet
risks identity theft; Truth: The risks are small.
Myth: Hair-growth potions grow hair; Truth: The few that
work don't work very well. Myth: The threat of lawsuits makes
the world a safer place; Truth: Lawsuits take away our choices.
Myth: Fast food makes you fat; Truth: You make yourself fat.
Myth: Be your kid's friend; Truth: Be a parent. Myth: Teens
need their parents less; Truth: Teens need their parents just as
much. Myth: Money buys happiness; Truth: Not for long.
Myth: Religious people are happier; Truth: Religious people are
happier.
If any of these "myth truth" statements pique your interest,
then I recommend you read "Myths, Lies, and Downright Stu-
pidity." There are plenty more examples in this book and a lot
of evidence to back up what John Stossel is telling us.

In an intensive statewide enforce-
ment effort, state and local law enforce-
ment officials arrested 1,219 people, bust-
ed 14 methamphetamine labs, seized
more than 100 kilos of cocaine, 1,000
pounds of marijuana, 180,000 Ecstasy
pills, more than 3,000 doses of Hy-
drocodone and. Oxycotone, and $7.5 mil-
lion in currency. The arrests and seizures
came during a recent month long period
as part of a proactive, national sweep to
fight drugs and drug-related crime, FDLE
Commissioner Gerald Bailey announced
August 4.
"This effort is a model for how the
state's law enforcement can collectively
use resources to crack down on illegal
drugs," Commissioner Bailey said. "I
hope this will send the message that Flori-
da has zero-tolerance for drug activity."
FDLE coordinated the state's blitz
through its seven Regional Operations
Centers, partnering with the Florida
Highway Patrol, the Department of
Transportation Office of Motor. Carrier
Compliance, the Department of Agricul-
ture's Division of Law Enforcement and
local law enforcement agencies across the
state. Teams and task forces statewide
rounded up drug traffickers, conducted
highway interdictions, executed search


warrants, and dismantled methampheta-
mine labs during the multi-faceted opera-
tion.
"Ridding illegal drugs and their de-
structive effects from communities in our
state is a top priority for the men and
women of the Florida Highway Patrol,"
said Col. Chris Knight, Director of the
Florida Highway Patrol. "The results of
this nationwide narcotics operation
demonstrate our collective resolve to con-
tinue serious efforts of interdiction to in-
terrupt the supply of drugs and apprehend
those who deal in this illicit market in
America."
"The fine work of all participating
agencies reflects the high level of com-
mitment of Florida's law enforcement of-
ficers in reducing the use of our highway
infrastructure for illicit purposes and rid-
ding our communities of the scourge of il-
legal drugs and their associated crimes,",
said Col. Graham W. Fountain, Director
of the FDOT Office of Motor Carrier
Compliance.
Twenty-six other states participated
in the nation-wide effort which was led
by the National Alliance of State Drug
Enforcement Agencies (NASDEA). The
event was designed to highlight the effec-
tiveness of concentrated, drug enforce-


ment and to recognize the importance of
federally-funded Edward Byrne Justice
Assistance Program grants in the day-to-
day operations of drug enforcement.
FDLE Assistant Commissioner Ken
Tucker serves as the NASDEA President,
The following is a brief overview of the
state of Florida's results:
Arrests: 1,219
Search warrants served: 72
Guns seized: 53
Meth labs busted: 14
Drug endangered children en-
countered: 20

Operation "Footloose With Nike" Results In"Arrests
Of Four Members Of A Multi-State Burglary Ring
Four members of a multi-state burglary ring allegedly respon-
sible for 60 commercial burglaries were arrested in Tallahassee ear-
ly Wednesday morning, August 9.
In December 2005, the Florida Department of Law Enforce-
ment Jacksonville was advised by the Jacksonville regional securi-
ty representative for Footlocker stores that there had been a number
of burglaries to Footlocker and other related stores that appeared to
be the work of an organized criminal group. Members of the FDLE
Jacksonville Economic Crime Squad began an investigation into
the thefts. Through their investigation it was learned that 19 law en-
forcement agencies from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina had
active investigations associated with similar burglaries. A Statewide
Work Group was established with FDLE as the lead agency.
The earliest reported incident occurred in April 2005 in Clay
County. Additional Florida thefts occurred in Duval County and
along the east coast as far as Miami, across the state to include Or-
ange County and on the Gulf coast from Manatee County north to
Leon County. The thefts had similar characteristics such as method
of entry and property stolen.
This morning, Jacksonville FDLE special agents notified
FDLE agents in Tallahassee that they were following the suspects
who were headed toward Tallahassee. The suspects were followed
to the Governor's Square Mall in Tallahassee where three of them
entered the mall. Around 1:00 a.m., the three emerged from the
mall. FDLE agents from Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Live Oak
and detectives from the Leon County Sheriff's Office and Tallahas-
see Police Department investigators arrested the three, along with
the driver of the vehicle under surveillance. Hundreds of items of
merchandise from a Gymboree store were found hidden near a mall
exit for pick-up.
Arrested were Tarik J. Williams, 27, Jacksonville; Maggie
Castellanos, 29, Miami; Demitria Thompson, 31, Miami; and Mar-
tisha Walker, 29, Miami. All were charged with burglary of a struc-
ture, grand theft and possession of burglary tools and booked into
the Leon County Jail. '
The suspects typically targeted high end bakciball shoes and
clothing. At this time total losses to commercial retailers burglar-
ized are close to $500,000.
The investigation is continuing and additional arrests are ex-
pected.
This release from the office of FDLE Special Agent in Charge,
Dominick Pape.

Trail To Recovery Seeks To
Help Disabled Veterans
By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to
serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly pro-
portional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars
were treated and appreciated by their country." George Wash-
ington, 1789.
The Trail to Recovery (located on the Internet) at www.trail-
torecoverv.org has a goal to help wounded veterans. The Trail is
a 2200-mile hike along the Appalachian Trail in honor of dis-
abled veterans. The hike started on July 16 and is expected to
end within four months.
The trail extends from Maine to Georgia and goes up many
hills and down many hills. According to the website, the hike is
symbolic of the long road disabled veterans face as they come to
grips with their disabilities and the reality that life as they knew
it will no longer be the same.
"These heroes answered America's call, served honorably
and as a result will continue to fight their own silent battles long
after these current wars come to an end," the website continues.
One hundred percent of the funds raised will go directly to
the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, an organization,
which works diligently to assist disabled veterans in overcoming
their obstacles.
Since the trail was completed in 1937, only 8,425 hikes
have been completed, according to the Appalachian Trail Con-
servancy (ATC).
A fundraising goal of $100,000 has been set for this year.
Airmen and officers from Moody Air Force Base in Valdos-
ta, Ga. are taking part in the Trail to Recovery.
I know that my eight years experience, (1994-2002), as a
school board member, three years as a school bus driver, and
twenty years as a private business owner and operator, will
clearly make me stand out as the best choice for this impor-
tant position. I am a hard working, honest and trustworthy,
life-long citizen of Madison County. I desire the best for all the
people of Madison County and I believe strongly that all stu-
dents, employees and citizens should have the best education-
al opportunities and facilities possible.

HEALTH


From The Front Porch

By Diane Sullivan

Guest Columnist


Our elders are truly the most courageous
population in our midst. They are brave enough,
to rise to the everyday challenges most of us are
completely unaware of. Their battles are not on
the nightly news, nor broadcasted on the radio,
however; they boldly march forward in our
world.
The battle of our elders is self-esteem. Our
older generation lived and thrived during the
work ethic period. They were taught from an
early age to "give all you have, put the shoulder
to .the grindstone, be proud of your work". They
respected themselves because society respected
them for all their valiant efforts. A man that
spent all day in the fields and came home at dark
was admired. A woman that spent all day cook-
ing, washing, and raising children was treasured.
These once admirable skills are no longer
widely accepted. Naturally, this creates confu-
sion with our elders perception of their self- es-.
teem.


Oi elders battle %tnh their feelings of dig-
nity and importance. Their sense of productive-
ness diminishes with retirement and social se-
curity, since this they feel they have nothing
more to contribute. These elders thrived on their
achievements; weather it be' the huge crops of
the garden, the pantry full of put up vegetables,
or their contributions to the community of
building churches.
Self-respect must be created by the individ-,
ual, although; self-respect is mostly based on
the opinions and attitudes of the people around
us. Therein lies the battle of our elders. 'Each
day they rise up to the challenge of their feeling
of self-worth. We can help our elders bravely
face uncertainty by validating their accomplish-
ments and achievements throughout their life-
time.
Do not go'gently into that good night,
Old age should bum and rave at close of
day;
Rage, Rage against the dying of the light.
-Dylan Thomas.

Planning for Retirement?
Avoid Unrealistic Expectations
Provided by Brad Bashaw, Edward Jones
The chances are pretty good that, at one time or anoth-
er, you've thought about the "ideal" retirement. But have
/ you really considered what it takes to get there?
Unfortunately, many people do not have realistic
expectations about how to fund the retirement lifestyle they
envision, nor are they at all clear about how much income
they can count on during their retirement years. Consider
these disturbing findings from the Employee Benefit
Research Institute's 2006 Retirement Confidence Survey:
*Low savings Fifty-two percent of the surveyed
workers who are saving for retirement reported total sav-
ings and investments of less than $50,000, excluding the
value of their home or any defined benefit plan. (Defined
benefit plans are the traditional pension plans, which are
rapidly being frozen.)
*Inflated expectations of benefits Many workers are
counting on benefits that they are. not going to receive.
While 40 percent of workers said they or their spouses cur-
rently have a defined benefit plan, 61 percent say they
expect to receive income from this type of plan in retire-
ment. In other words, many people are counting on receiv-
ing a guaranteed pension in their retirement years even
though their employers don't offer one.
*Unrealistic views of income needed during retire-
ment 59 percent of the surveyed workers say that, during
retirement, they will want a standard of living that is the
same as, or better than, the one they have now. Yet half the
workers think they can enjoy a comfortable retirement on
70 percent or less of their pre-retirement income.
Clearly, many working Americans are just not "getting
it" when it comes to paying for retirement. To avoid falling
into this group, what should you do?
First, know what to expect from your employer's retire-
ment plan. A 401(k) or other type of defined contribution
plan won't offer the predictable income of a pension. Yet, a
401(k) does offer good opportunities for building retirement
savings; your money grows on a tax-deferred basis, and, if
you're fortunate, your employer will match some of your
contributions. But it's up to you to choose from the mix of
available investments to provide the maximum potential for
long-term growth, given your individual risk tolerance and
time horizon. So, contribute as much as you can afford to
your 401(k), and when you get salary increases, bump up
your contributions.
What else can you do to improve your retirement-sav-
ings outlook? Look beyond your 401(k) for other tax-
advantaged opportunities, such as an IRA and a fixed annu-
ity. And try to gradually build a diversified portfolio of
high-quality stocks, bonds and other securities.
Finally, don't underestimate how much money you will
need to pay for retirement. You could spend two or three
decades as an active retiree, and to maintain the lifestyle
you want, you may well need 80 percent or more of your
pre-retirement income, with the exact amount depending on
your individual lifestyle.
By educating yourself on what sort of financial
resources you need during retirement, and by estimating
what you can expect from your employer-sponsored retire-
ment plan and Social Security, you can create a long-term
savings and investment strategy that should serve you well
and help you avoid unpleasant surprises when you retire.

Madison County Health Department
Presents Abstinence Only Program
At County Wide Day

Program. (Photo submitted)


The Madison County
Health Department presented
their Abstinence Only Program
at County Wide Day, August 4,
to all school board employees.
Afterwards some of the teachers
and staff stated they were
shocked by. the information
shared concerning Madison
County teenagers. Amy Ellison,
Abstinence Education Coordi-
nator, presented several reasons
why Madison County needs this
program; such as the high num-
ber of sexually active teens, teen
pregnancy rates and Sexually
Transmitted Disease (STD) risk
factors.
In 2003, Madison County
ranked higher than 65 other
counties in the state for girls be-
tween the ages of 10-14 giving
birth. This placed Madison
County second in Florida for the
most teen pregnancies for this
age group. According to the De-
partment of Health (DOH)
Healthy Start Screening Rates
for Madison County, there were
50 girls between the ages of 10-
19 that became pregnant during
the 2005-2006 school year.
Fifty girls were screened, but
the actual number of pregnan-
cies was probably higher, if
their prenatal care was provided
outside of the county or state.
Our youngest mom during this


time delivered at the age of 11.
According to the DOH Bureau
of STD's, one out of every three
sexually active teens in Florida
will acquire a sexually transmit-
ted disease. Also, the Center for
Disease Control (CDC) report-
ed in 2003 that 62 percent of all
twelfth, graders admitted to hav-
ing sexual intercourse. These
statistics can be directly applied
to our students at Madison
County High School (MCHS),
if there are 158 seniors then 33
will acquire a STD.
Over the next year, the Ab-
stinence Program plans to in-
form students fourth through'
eighth on how to abstain from
risky behaviors that may lead to
sex, drugs and alcohol. Each
month the Abstinence Program
will present a rally or a class-
room lesson. Our first rallies
are planned at Madison County
Central School (MCCS) August
22, and Madison County Alter-
native Excel School (MCAES)
August 23, 2006.
The Abstinence Only Pro-
gram was represented at County
Wide Day by Amy Ellison
*C.N.A., Abstinence Education
Coordinator, Debra Lookabill
M.S.W., Social Services Direc-
tor/Program Manager and
Cindy Brown R.N., School
Health Coordinator.


Harper Named New Math

Teacher At Excel School


By Jessalyn Covell
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Wendy Harper is the new
math teacher for sixth through
twelfth grades at the Madison
County Alternative Excel
School.
She received her bachelors
in math and secondary educa-
tion at Flagler College.
She decided to become a
teacher when she was working
as an aide awhile ago at a high
school. She loved all of the in-
'teraction with students and it
drove her to being an exciting
career as a teacher.
The 2006-2007 school year
marks her 16 years as a teacher.
She taught for two years at
Fleming Island High School in
Orange Park and also taught for
a number of years in Lee Coun-
ty. .
When she sees her students
grasp the concept that is being
taught, she feels quite rewarded.
Harper commented, "The
reason why I really like this al-
ternative school is because here,
you have smaller classes where
you can deal more with individ-
ual students."
For this school year, she
plans on using the continues im-
provement model and stick to it
through the year to help her stu-
dents become the best students
they can possibly be.


Wendy Harper has
been teaching for a total of
16 wonderful years.

Harper stated, "The staff at
the Excel exemplify a lot of
love and concern for their stu-
dents."
In her spare time, she en-
joys reading, sailing, doing
crossword puzzles and playing
with her cat.
Her family includes her
husband, Kenny Harper, two
sons and six grandchildren.
Her husband, Kenny Harp-
er has one sister, Nancy Scar-
borough whom is married to
Ronnie Scarborough.
Also, Harper has one broth-
er, Bobby Harper.
Wendy Harper's in laws are
LL and Mary Harper.
She stated, "I am very hap-
py to be working at the Excel
school, making a positive differ-
ence."

Trinity Catholic Will Be Tough


This year, the Cowboys will be using a two quar-
terback system. #7 Blake Sapp is a 5'9" junior who
also doubles as a defensive back. Both quarterbacks
will start and play this season for the Cowboys.

Last year the Cowboys
had a tough opening game
against Trinity Catholic. Madi-
son dropped the Kick-off Clas-
sic to eventual Class 2-B state
champion. The score was 10-0
with TC picking up the first of
a long string of wins. This year
could be a different story.
Coach Frankie Carroll
says he's going to play every-
body. "We've got 78 kids and
we're going to play all of
them," he said. "It's a kick-off
classic and this is where we get
a good look at the team."
TC has the number-one
rated quarterback in the nation,
according to Carroll. John
Brantley likes to throw and
Carroll. expects Trinity,
Catholic to throw the ball a lot.
"We're going to try to put
pressure on him," Carroll said.
"The plan is to put pressure on
the quarterback and the wide


receivers," said defensive co-
ordinator Rod Williams. He
also added, "That's not all of
the plan."
Offensive coordinator
Mike Coe said they consider
the Kick-Off Classic to be a
practice game and plan to put
in some of the younger players
to get them used to pressure
situations. "We need to get the
young kids in and get them
some experience," Coe said.
Jeremy Carroll is the run-
ning back coach. He said he's
going to run right at them.
"These guys believe in them-
selves and they believe in the
system," Jeremy Carroll said.
Coach Frankie Carroll
said the offensive plan is to run
right at them and mix it up
with some play action."
The Trinity Catholic Kick-
Off Classic is an away game.
The first real game of the sea-
son will be Friday, Aug. 25 at
home against Union County.

ployees were getting $180,000."
Tuckey asked if the board had researched the salaries of oth-
er small cities in the area. Commissioner Myra Valentine had
presented that information several months ago.,
McGhee expressed consternation that some citizens have
been calling on Madison residents in groups of two to ask for
signatures on a petition attached to the letter. "They are being
told that the raises in salary are being funded by increased rates.
That is not true, and it is upsetting our people," she said.
Commissioner Sumpter James added, "When Dixie Packers
closed, we moved on. When Smithfield closed, we mdved on. I
think there are other things behind this."
McGhee told Tuckey that he could bring the letter and peti-
tion back as an agenda item if he wished to.
In other business, the board approved a contract by which
the Madison Police Department will supply one School Re-
source Officer to the Madison County Excel Alternative School.
They also approved supporting a drive for a one-half cent sales
tax to build a new hospital facility.

The Madison and Jeffer-
son County Health Depart-
ments have received a grant
that will fund flu vaccination
clinics at two polling places
in each county on November
7, the day of this year's gen-
eral elections.
The grant provides
$8,000 to purchase vaccine,
supplies and associated costs
for operating the events.
"It is so important for cit-
izens to get their annual flu
vaccination and we realize
that it is often difficult for
people to travel to their physi-
cian's office or the health de-
partment," stated Kim Barn-
hill, Administrator of the
Madison and Jefferson Coun-
ty Health Departments. "Hav-
ing our clinics near the
polling places will make the
service accessible to our citi-
zens, so they can't kill two
birds with one stone."
Shannon Jacobs, the Di-
rector of Operations for both
health departments, wrote the
grant application.
Jacobs stated, "I chose
strategic locations when plan-
ning and writing the grant. I
wanted to cover both the
busiest polling place in each
county and then also provide
service at a more remote loca-
tion where our citizens might
have a harder time accessing
care."
In Madison County, the
Courthouse Annex was cho-


Cwos. vs. Trnt ahlc

sen as the busiest location,
while the Senior Citizen's
Center in Greenville was cho-
sen as the outlying location.
In Jefferson County, the
flu shots will be provided
near the poll at the Monticel-
lo Opera House and also near
the poll at Waukeenah
Methodist Church.
"We want to thank Linda
Howell, the 'Madison County
Supervisor of Elections and
Marty Bishop, the Jefferson


County Supervisor of Elec-
tions," stated Jacobs. "They
provided mipport letters for
the grant -ad they were very
helpful in planning." Both
Hoclell and Bishop will coor-
dinate the6 effort with the
health departments to ensure
that the events are conducted-
properly according State
statutes for events near
polling places.
For further .information
on the grant and flu vaccina-
tion clinics that will be com-
ing soon and to check the
health departments' websites,

health department at 973-

proper equipment to keep them safe," said Congressman Cren-
shaw. "This is an excellent example of federal funds making a
positive difference at the local level."
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is adminis-
tered by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), part of the Feder-
al Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which became
part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1,
2003. The program assists rural, urban and suburban fire de-
partments and emergency medical services providers throughout
the United States. Funds are used by the nation's firefighters to
increase the effectiveness of firefighting operations, firefighter
health and safety programs, new fire apparatus, Emergency
Medical Service programs, and fire prevention and safety pro-
grams.

From there, he was invited to attend a tryout in Orlando where
he earned his spot on the show.
"Sixteen-hundred people get tryouts. From there, 400 are
chosen to appear on the show," Carson said.
Over 100,000 took the, online test.
Carson is originally from Pittsburgh, Pa., where he was a
big Steelers fan. As a child, he moved to Tmnpa, where he at-
tended middle school and high school. After graduating, he at-
tended Florida State University.
Carson came onboard as a teacher at ACA in 1999. It was
his first "significant" teaching job.
In 2003, he bought a house in Greenville. He had been trav-
eling back and forth to ACA from Tallahassee each day. His
daughter, Rebecca, became old enough.to attend school that year
and he and his wife, Janice (who works as a paralegal in the at-
torney general's office) decided it was too long a commute from
Tallahassee for her, so they moved to Madison County.
Carson teaches history at Aucilla Christian Academy and he
is the coach for the middle school and high school Brain Bowl
teams.
Speaking of his experience on Jeopardy, Carson said, "They
don't take dumb people on the show. You have to have a lot of
skill and a lot of dumb luck is involved. A lot depends on the cat-
egories you get and who your opponents end up being."
Carson said that because of show rules, he couldn't com-
ment on how well he did on Jeopardy.
Carson's appearance on Jeopardy will be shown on WCTV
Channel 6 on Monday, September 18.
