"Loan Star Nation: How a Ragged Army of Volunteers Won the Battle for Texas Independence arid Changed America" by H. W. Brands (Doubleday, 2004) is a well written, often light account of the founding of Texas and its struggle for independence from Mexico. Having never lived in Texas, I was only vaguely aware of this story. Brands' account helped me fill in a lot of blanks. There were a lot of colorful characters that influenced ear- ly Texas history. The stories of William Travis, Jim Bowie, Davy Crocket and their martyrdom at the Alamo are well chron- icled in legend and fact. But Brands book is primarily about two men, Stephen Austin and Sam Houston, and their crucial roles in the colonization of the Texas territory and subsequent struggle for independence. In the aftermath of the War of 1812, the Texas territory was sparsely populated by a few hardy souls and assorted Native American tribes dominated by the warlike Comanche. The peo- ple of Mexico had by and large not ventured into this northern territory because it was so remote from the safety and com- merce of their capital. Stephen Austin inherited the dream of a Texas colony from his late father and set about putting this idea in motion. He sought and received permission from first Spain and then the newly formed Mexican government to introduce settlers into this strange and %wonderful new land, The lure of new land beckoned to immigrants -from the American southwest Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee. They departed by ship from New Orleans or o\ erland through Nacogdoches to the virgin territory of what is today east Texas. Austin organized this effort on both ends and ruined his frail health as a result. By the beginning of the 1830s, transplanted Americans out- numbered indigenous Mexicans .and Indians in Texas by ten to one. In MeiJco Citi, rotating governments finally settled upon military hero Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna as its leader where- upon he promptly suspended the 1824 constitution and assumed dictatorial powers. Far to the north, the new Texans opposed this heavy-handed approach to government. Santa Anna smelled rebellion and organized an army to quell the insurrec- tion. When Austin tried to intervene to preserve peace, he was imprisoned for his efforts. .:.. !. ; ..--- -. Back in Texas, a ne\\l) formed provisional government ap- pointed former Tennessean Sam Houston as its military com- mander. Houston, a prot6g6 of now President Andrew Jackson, won the job by default he was the only leader with any mili- tary experience. Houston was given a nearly impossible job - organizing the Texas volunteers was no easier than herding stray cats on a flatbed. A group of volunteer militia under the direction of Travis, Bowie and later Crocket made the mistake of defending the Alamo at San Antonio de Bexar. In March 1836, they were overwhelmed by a vast Mexican army. Santa Anna vowed "no quarter" to the rebels and they were slaughtered to the man. That was a better fate than awaited James Fannin at La Bahia de Goliad. A week after Fannin surrendered his company of 400 men, they were executed under orders of the brutal Mexican dictator. What was left of the ragged Texas force began a strategic retreat. Houston realized that the fate of the Alamo and Goliad awaited his remaining Texas army if he immediately confront- ed Santa Anna, so he adopted the same strategy as Washington did in the early days of America's revolution retreat and sur- vive. In the process, three things happened. First, Houston's force began to gain strength as more volunteers joined from the east. Second, Santa Anna's army lost strength as the long march took its toll And third, Santa Anna made a critical mistake he divided his force. Now with the numbers and surprise in his favor, Houston brought the two armies to battle at the mouth of the San Jacinto River just east of the city which today bears his name. It was a rout in favor of the Texans who were spoiling to avenge their fallen comrades. The cry "Remember the Alamo" would forev- er be part of the American lexicon. Santa Anna was captured and spared to be used as a hostage to restore peace. In 1845, two former Spanish territories were awarded state- hood in the growing United States. Today, Texas and Florida are the second and fourth most populous states in the union; be- fore long, Florida will vault past New York into third place. Both still retain their Hispanic culture and represent the heart of the Southern wave that has influenced growth in our nation over the past thirty years. Black Friday Cont from Page 1A every week until Christmas, beginning this Wednesday." Johnson said that the best-selling item this year was a chil- dren's computer that was for sale. Robert Petrillo, manager of CVS, said that sales were good this year. He said that there are no plans for special sales, other than the ones CVS has every week. "We did pretty good this year," Brandon Floyd, an em- ployee at Madison Sporting Goods, said. "We sold a bit of bullets and guns and other stuff like that."

Attorney Arrested Modison County Crtrne Report For Creating Child Pornography Attorney General Charlie Crist announced on November 21 the arrest of an attorney from Bay County on multiple charges of producing child pornography, possession of child pornography and promoting the sexual performance of a child. Investigators with Crist's Child Predator CyberCrime Unit discovered Paul Richard Parker, Jr.'s distribution and promotion of pornograph- ic videos of children during an undercover online investigation. Parker, 42, placed pornographic videos on the Internet, where they were discovered by a Child Predator CyberCrime in- vestigator who was able to trace them back to Parker. Search warrants executed at Parker's Panama City residence uncovered hundreds of images and videos of child pornography on his computer and other equipment. Investigators also discovered that Parker created child pornography by enticing young boys over the Internet to perform sexual acts via webcam. Parker would then videotape these acts and make pornographic videos from them. He was arrested by officers with the Child Predator CyberCrime Unit and the Bay County Sheriff's Office. Parker specializes in personal injury law. "Child pornography is horrific sexual exploitation of real children, who are real victims," said Crist. "We will continue to shut these perverted operations down." Parker is currently being held at the Bay County Jail. He is charged with nine counts of using a child in the production of child pornography and two counts of promoting child pornogra- phy, both second-degree felonies, as well as two counts of trans- mitting child pornography and 233 counts of possession of child pornography, both third-degree felonies. If convicted on all charges, he could face life in prison. The case will be jointly prosecuted by Crist's Office of Statewide Prosecution and the 14th Circuit State Attorney's Office. The Child Predator CyberCrime Unit's mission is to protect children from computer-facilitated sexual exploitation. The unit does this by working cooperatively on a statewide basis with law, enforcement agencies and prosecutors to provide resources and expertise, while preventing the spread of these crimes through education and community a\ areness. Parker's arrest is the 30th made by officers with the unit since its inception in October 2005. The Child Predator CyberCrime Unit is a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) of North Florida.

To Fund Women's Health Care The Florida Department of Health (DOH) Division of Family Health Services announced this week that the Madison and Jefferson County Health Departments were awarded $10,000 to fund a women's health community demonstration project. The Madison/Jefferson project, one of only ten awards given statewide, will provide direct care services to women who can- not otherwise afford treatment. "Any time we can bring more money into our counties to address public health issues, we feel truly blessed," said Kim Barnhill, Administrator of the Madison and Jefferson Coun- ty Health Departments. "Even though it is a, small grant, it will make a tremendous differ- ence in lives of our citizens." It's no secret that the overall health status of Madison and Jefferson Counties is poor, and- statistics suggest that health disparities are a key challenge. Madison and Jefferson have some of the worst rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, obesity, and infant mor- tality in the state, so health advocates' in both counties are working'to establish a system of care that will make positive changes for the future. "Healthy women are vital to the strength of our community," Barnhill said. "We must continue making strides to improve the.health of all women, and it's vitally important to fo- cus our efforts on the health disparities that exist in the African-American population." With funding from the new grant, the health department will provide, services to women who are identified through existing outreach projects. Several grant projects are already at work in the community, including two "Closing the Gap grants." One of these grants, re- ceived by the Healthy Start Coalition of Jefferson, Madison, and Taylor-Counties, provides preconceptional and women's health education. The Big Bend Rural Health Network man- ages the other grant project, which focuses on diabetes management and prevention. In ad- dition to funding outreach workers, these grants are also focusing on developing "health min- istries" at local churches to promote healthy lifestyle choices and chronic disease prevention. "This new grant will allow us to provide both dental and primary care services to women who need it most," said Shannon Jacobs, Director of Operations at the health de- partment. "With projects like this, we hope to build the infrastructure for a system that will identify women's health issues and provide the resources necessary to truly make a differ- Decaffeinated Coffee Is Not Caffeine-Free Coffee addicts who switch contains some measure of caf- to decaf for health reasons may feine. not be as free from caffeine's Caffeine is the most wide- clutches as they think.

"Certainly, large cups and fre- quent cups of decaf would be expected to promote depen- dence and should be con- traindicated in those whose doctors suggested caffeine- free diets." And even moderate caf- feine levels can increase agita- tion, anxiety, heart rate and blood pressure in some suscep- tible individuals, Goldberger said. "Carefully controlled studies show that caffeine dos- es as low as about 10 mil- ligrams can produce reliable subjective and behavioral ef- fects in sensitive individuals," said Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., a professor of behavioral biolo- gy. and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Med- icine. "More than 30 percent can discriminate the subjective effects of 18 mi ligrams or less. The present study shows that many decaffeinated coffee 1 drinks deliver caffeine at doses above these levels. "The important point is that decaffeinated is not the same as caffeine-free," Grif- fiths added. "People who are trying to eliminate caffeine from their diet should be aware that popular espresso drinks such as lattes (which contain two shots of espresso) can de- liver as much caffeine as a can of Coca-Cola about 31 mil- ligrams." AWL .b .. .. fil From The Front Porch By Diane Sullivan Guest Columnist The holiday season brings about a goodw ill' feeling to- ward those of us that are less foritnaite than we are. How of- ten are we made aware of chil- dren without gifts, families I ithour food. and folks without homes? There are many pro- grams designed to met these needs, and most of us Step for- ward with kindness and gen- erosity. It would be marvelous if a program would be designed to 'give' to our elders in a nursing home. Give our homemade goods, our handmade crafts, even our precious time. Think about it, we wouldn't have to gift wrap it. We wouldn't have to mark it 'male or female', it would be a gift from our hearts, to be enjoyed by all the resi- dents. The holidays are a joyous. season with the theme peace to all, goodwill toward mankind. The holidays for our elders in the nursing home can some- times be less than joyful. This concept may be difficult for us to accept, however; it is a real- ity for our elderly. Most of the famous holiday carols we are familiar with were written and played many years ago. This music will bring memories from past holidays involving homes. family, and friends. For the elder in the nursing home their old home is gone, family members have passed, and their old friends are some\\ here else. Many of them feel forgot- ten. They have the desire to feel joy and peace, and are thankful for the blessings they have received, yet there is omeihing missing, the miracle of the season. This is where we as indi- viduals can create our own pro- gram for our elders in the nurs- ing homes. The next time we are concocting our famous cre- ations in the kitchen, make a double ba.tch and drop it off for the residents, name tags won't be required. As a group mak- ing holiday greetings, cut out an extra dozen or two, it does- n't matter if the are for male or female. Whilo practicing for the carols of the season, try to schedule in a practice at your local nursing hoine. We can all do so much to brilni the miracle of the season to ou&\elders we only need to step forward with kindness and generosity. \-..-.. "All you have shall sor',e day be given; therefore giv11 now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your in- '- heritors.

Experts worry that it could turn into a worldwide out- break among humans a pandemic. Pandemics are not new. Within the past century, Spanish flu, Asian flu, and Hong Kong flu ac- counted for millions of deaths worldwide. If an outbreak of this magnitude happens, experts agree that the result could be wide- spread disruption of businesses through the absence of between 20 percent and 50 percent of the working population for two to six weeks, loss of service from suppliers, loss of emergency services, and stress on key-business units. With this in mind, Mayo Clinic Health Management Resources' has published an eight-page report titled "Pandemic Flu A Special Report on How to Prepare" that draws upon the experience of Mayo Clinic experts in infectious diseases and emergency preparedness as, well as the latest recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO). This report provides businesses with reliable and practical advice that can be applied to almost any broad-based disaster that would disrupt normal public services. The "Pandermic Flu" report ,will provide organizations with a key communication vehicle for business continuity plans. For more infonnation about providing the "'Pandemic Flu" report or any of these services for your organization. call 1-800-430-9699 (toll free. "Concern about the disease has intensified recently for several reasons.'" according to Malo Clinic infectious diseases specialist James Steckelbere. NI D "'One is the appearance of several human: cases of H5N1 influenza in regions previously unaffected by bird flu. Another is the news that researchers ha'e determined that the 1918 flu pandemic, lhich killed 50 million people. \%as a bird flu that jumped to humans. Health officials and agencies worldwide feel it %would be irresponsible not to prepare." This report tells employers and employees what to expect in the event of a pandemic, answers frequently asked questions on bird flu, helps people cope. with the emotional stress of a disaster, and provides action-oriented information on how to prepare, in- cluding: A checklist of emergency supplies Forms for collecting family health and emergency contact information .-* How to reduce your risk of getting sick How to differentiate between seasonal flu and pandemic flu Caring for someone at home who has the flu How families can help children cope The report can also be customized for organizations that. purchase it to include: a corporate name and logo to the masthead (Provided by ...) a 150-word article on the front page which might be used for a message from a CEO or medical director a 250-word article on the back page %which might be used to pro\ ide company policies during a flu outbreak. re sources, and contacts and telephone numbers employees can turn to for information and companN -specific plans un der way to prepare for a possible outbreak.

The game was billed as the North Florida Champi- onships; Bolles versus the Madison County Cowboys in the state semi-final game, winner to head for Miami to play for the state champi- onship. Madison fought hard, but was outgunned by the Bolles quarterback Randy Hardin. The final score was 28-14, with Bolles taking the win.. Bolles was undeniably good, but the Cowboys com- mitted three turnovers in the game, successfully shooting themselves in the foot. Bolles came out gunning for a win and scored immediately, less than two minutes after the kickoff. The Cowboys then handed Bolles another touch- down by fumbling on the 12- yard line. The Bolles quarter- back ran the ball in for six. After less than four minutes of play, Bolles was up the 14 points that killed Madison. If the Cowboys had not come out and coughed up these cru- cial 14 points, the game would have been a 14-14 tie at the end of regulation play. Coach Frankie Carroll was right. Bolles was not better than the Cowboys. It just took the Madison players too long to realize this. Once the boys realized they could compete, they had already dug them- selves too deep a hole. "We played hard, but we got ourselves into a hole ear- ly," Carroll said. "Every time we'd get a play, they'd get a , big play too." Madison's first score came with 1.43 left in the first half. With a good block by Jaccobi McDaniel, Chris. Thompson scored. The PAT by Daniel Sanders was good, and the Cowboys had cut the Bulldogs lead by seven.

The score at the half was 21-7. The 14-point lead looked insurmountable. Madison received after the halftime break. Bolles continued to avoid kicking, the ball anywhere near Bernard Brinson. They'd tried onside kicks earlier in the game and after the half opted for a short pooch kick that put the Cowboys on their own 28. Blake Sapp started passing and completed one to Travis Arnold for a big first down. Jordan Johnson got an- other Cowboy first down. But the long drive ended when the Cowboys turned the ball over on downs on the Bulldog 30. Madison's defense turned - - Nanr: Address: City: State: up the heat on Bolles in the second half. The Cowboy "D" shut down the Bolles running game, forcing them to pass again and again. The Bulldogs did not score for the entire third quarter. Sapp tossed one to Chris Thomp- son, a one-handed grab named the Channel Six "Re- ception of the Week." Thompson galloped down the sidelines to score in the open- ing seconds of the fourth quarter. The score went to 21- 14 and the Cowboys were re- vitalized. But as Carroll said, every time the Cowboys would make a big play, Bolles would answer with one of their own. With 8:45 left in the game, Bolles scored. The score went to 28-14 and stayed that way for the rest of the game. "We're young," Carroll Chris Thompson makes a crucial reception and runs 70 yards for a touchdown. (Photo submitted by Daniel Douglas) said. And he's right. This year was supposed to be a building year for Madison. The Offen- sive Player of the Week Chris Thompson is only a sopho- more. Thompson scored both touchdowns. The Defensive Player of the Week, Dontari- ous "Huggy Bear" Huggins, is only a sophomore. The Cowboys will have 16 starters returning to play next year.

The Taylor Lady Bull- dogs scored three times in the first half before Allyce Rutherford (with an assist by Emily Hentges) scored Madi- son's only goal of the night. In the second half, the Cow- girls regrouped and held Tay- lor to a single goal. "This is the best Madison has ever. done against the Lady Bulldogs," said coach Donn Smith.

Emily Hentges was car- ried off the field and to the hospital with what was later determined to be a case of de- hydration and exhaustion. Hentges was released later in the evening. "I'm very proud of the way our girls played," Smith said. The Cowgirls are now 1- 3-1 (1-2-0 in district play). The game against Apalachicola, Friday, No- vember 17, had to be post- poned due to a lack of refer- ees. Madison travels again, this time to Godby on No- vember 30.

At North Florida Community College, it's all about YOU! Giving Financial Gifts? Know the Rules Provided by Brad Bashaw, Edward Jones The holidays are approaching rapidly, so shopping may be on your mind. Of course, you can find many dif- ferent types of thoughtful presents that will "make the day" of your loved ones. But why not give a gift that can brighten their entire future?' Specifically, why not give a financial gift that has long-term benefits? Before you give shares of stock or other financial assets, however, ou1 night \\ant to brush up on some of the rules governing financial gift giving. Understanding gift taxes When you give someone a "typical" holiday present - clothing, electronics, books, gift certificates, etc. you normally don't have to worry about any taxes, except sales tax. But if you want to give away stock or other securities, you will have to consider "gift tax" rules, which are basically. designed to prevent people from removing most of the assets from their taxable estates through large gifts. However, gift tax rules are, for most people, quite generous. Consider the following: You can give up to $12,000 to an individual in a tax .year without facing any tax consequences. In fact, you can make $12,000 gifts to as many different people as you'd like in a tax year without incurring gift taxes. You can give your spouse a gift of any amount without facing gift taxes. You and your spouse can each give the same individ- ual $12,000, for a total of $24,000, gift-tax free. Giving Stocks? Do Your Homework If you decide to give stocks, you have to keep a few things in mind. Make sure you know what you originally paid for the stock (its "tax basis"), how long you've held it and its fair market value at the date of the gift. The recipients will need this information to determine gains or losses if they decide to sell the stock you've given them. Both you and your loved ones can gain valuable tax advantages from your gift of stock. When you gave your shares of stock, you also gave away your "holding peri- od" the amount of time you've held the stock. So, even if the recipients own the stbck only a day or so before selling it, they'll just have to pay the long-term capital gains tax rate, which may be considerably lower than their current income tax rate. And by giving shares of stock, you also will benefit because you'll avoid the cap- ital gains taxes you'd have to pay if you sold the stock yourself. Before taking any action, though, consult with your tax adviser. Gifts for IRAs You don't have to actually give stocks to help your intended recipients make progress toward their financial goals. As an alternative, consider giving your loved ones money to add more shares of stock (or bonds or other investments) to an IRA. For 2006, investors can put up to $4,000 in a Roth or traditional IRA (or $5,000 if they are 50 or older). If your intended recipients have fully fund- ed their IRAs for 2006, they can apply your gift for 2007, for which the contribution limit is the same. Long-lasting Gifts The holidays are only here for a short while but your financial gifts to your loved ones can make a difference in their lives for years to come.

SCHOOL S&eScSfwd el9dt A weekly column written by - the school teachers of Madison County. By Christine Pe- ters, 3rd and 4th 'Grade Teacher, WNew Testament 'Christian Center My name is Christine Peters and I have been teaching at New Testament Christ- ian Center for over 10 years now. I don't think that teaching ever gets "boring"; there are too many chal- lenges. Often I hear parents say that they can't help their children be-, cause they are not familiar with what they are learning. Ask them to show you; learn right -'. along with them. .It is a joy to Christine Peters witness those chil- is the 3rd and 4th dren's efforts in Grade Teacher at the classroom. New Testament When they speak Christian Center of dad doing a Children are hungry for :instruction in all areas of their 'lives, and now, more than ever, we need to realize that ,our children are our future, land do everything possible to ,instill good morals, responsi- 'bility, and a sense of wrong ,and right. The greatest tool in this should be the Word of 'God. Just as we use an in- struction manual for a new ap- pliance, we should turn to the ultimate guide for just about every situation in our lives. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of my children's education from day one, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Time is against us. It is hard for working parents to try making a living and having 'quality family time. I would 'like to encourage every parent ito make the most of their time together with their children. ,While driving to school, to the store, or to ball practice, ask questions like, "Do you need help with your homework lat- jer?" Communication is the first step to a closer relation- 'ship with our kids. Parents are the first teach- ers of their children. They will 'benefit and grow with a strong sense of security if they have support, discipline, and are nurtured in the home. math problem with them, or mom showing a different way of doing something. I applaud the parents of the kids in my class for their involvement and interest in their children's schoolwork. There is a dis- tinct difference in those chil- dren whose parents are in- volved. They grow up so fast, and it is a peaceful feeling to know we have. done all we can, and most importantly, we can trust them to make good decisions for themselves. "Train up a child in the way he should go; And when he is old he will not depart from it." Training and teach- ing are not the same thing. A teacher can only teach so much. The dictionary's defin- ition for the word train is "to make obedient, to mold, to in- struct, or to put or point in an exact direction." This is what God wants us to do with our children. When a child is being trained to obey, he is more willing to be taught. Because we love our children we are training them to obey. Just as God loves us, and wants us to obey as parents. Because they are His children also, we want to do His work in them for Him, and with His guidance. May God bless all our children.

(Greene Pub- lishing, Inc. Photo by Jessalyn Covell, November 20, 2006) Greenville Elementary School has received a $500 grant from ExxonMobil Edu- cational Alliance program to support the school's comput- er/technology programs. Fast Track Stores, with a Mobil branded travel center located at SR121 and 1-10 in Madi- son County worked with the school officials to secure the grant, which is one of 4,000 available to schools across the county serviced by Exxon or Mobil stations. The grants were made possible by fund- ing from the Exxon/Mobil Corporation. "Greenville Elementary School works to make learn- ing interesting and fun said Gloria Dennis, Store Manag- er for Fast Track Stores. As a Mobil retailer, we are proud to help young people of Madison County." The Exxon/Mobil Educa- tional Alliance program is de- signed to provide Exxon and Mobil retailers with an op- portunity to invest in the fu- ture of their communities through educational grants to neighborhood school. Exxon/Mobil believes that, as members of the community, local retailers are best quali- fied to work with local edu- cators to help identify schools and programs most in need of support. Fast Track Stores met stringent eligibility criteria before applying for and being awarded this grant, including having a commitment to pro- vide a superior buying expe- rience for customers.
