Meeting class

size limits frees

up $260,000

District meets state
mandate for 1st time

by BYRON SPIRES
Times Staff Writer

The Gadsden County school dis-
trict has meet its class size reduction
requirements which will give the
district access to $260,000 in its
general fund that it did not have last
year.
An amendment to the Florida
Constitution two years ago voted by
state residents lowered the number
of students that were allowed in
'classrooms.
According to Diane Decker, direc-
tor of human resources for the
school system, an aggressive
recruitment campaign by the Gads-
den County School board to hire
more teachers paid off.
"We have recruited from several
states, including Michigan," Decker
said.
The end result in meeting the class
room size requirements will be
$260,000 boost to the general fund,
Jay Corbett, assistant superintend-
ent of business service, said.
Although the school did not lose
the money for not meeting the class
room size amendment, it had been
earmarked by the state for capital
outlay use only, Corbett added.
This is the first time since the
adoption of the teacher-to-pupil
ratio guidelines that the district has
met the goal, School Superintendent
Reginald James said.
The law, which was enacted in
2002, requires districts to have no
more than 18 students per teacher in
grades kindergarten through third,
22 students per teacher in grades
four through six and 25 students per
teacher in grades seven through 12.
James also credited early hiring
practices and aggressive recruit-
ment of teachers as key factors in
meeting the requirement.

School enrollment

exceeds projections
For the first time in more than 10
years, the Gadsden School District's
enrollment exceeded projections.
This year's enrollment is more than
110 students over what was
expected, according to school offi-
cials.
The district has lost, on average,
more than 200 students annually,
James said. This has been a catalyst
for budgetary restraints, stagnant
employee salaries, and workforce
reductions, he continued.
James said that the increased
enrollment serves as an important
barometer of the district's percep-
tion in the eyes of stakeholders-its
parents. "It is an obvious sign that
some parents whose children have
attended schools outside the district
are now returning," James said.
He further said he believes the
trend will continue if the district
continues to make positive changes
and academic .progress.

County ends

The board of county commission-
ers closed out the 2005 year in the
black.
"For us, that is a very good thing,"
said Davin Suggs, director of the
Office of Management and Budget,
Monday night during a special
meeting. The county, he said, did
not have to dip into its savings
account to balance the budget.
"All of the county's funds were
able to be balanced without the use
of existing unreserved fund balance.

General Fund unaudited expendi-
tures finished at 100.5 percent of the
adopted/amended budget. General
Fund unaudited reserves finished at
more than 102 percent of the
adopted/amended budget. This fact,
in addition to the realization of
excess revenues in the Library Fund
and EMS Fund, provide for poten-
tial significant growth in the
county's General Fund unreserved
fund balance," Suggs said. He
added that the county went 5 percent
over budget because of Medicaid.

Judge: county's law

on utility 'overbroad'

by BYRON SPIRES
Times Staff Writer

It was a typical Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Everyone was rushing around getting last minute fix-
ings for the big day when it happened.
The electricity went off.
The electricity going off is not an unusual event. It
happens from time to time and usually the current is
back on in a few.minutes. Last week, however, that
was not the case. The power stayed off for almost five
hours.
Any other time it would have been bad, but the
evening before Thanksgiving created havoc for a lot of
Wednesday shoppers with major plans for Thursday's
lunch.
How did it happen many have asked?
According to city utilities interim director Mike
Wade, it was a series of unfortunate events that

occurred at a very inappropriate time. Wade said
that a limb fell across the city's side of the power sub-
station that feeds the city electricity. The
69,000 volt feeder line from Progress Energy comes
into the city through the substation, where it is split
into the northern and southern sections of the city.
Once the limb shorted out the wires, Wade said, it
tripped a breaker in the substation cutting the electric-
ity off.
The process is similar to what you have in your house
with your breaker box only a much larger version.
Normally, Wade said, the breaker would reset itself and
the electricity would come back on in a matter of min-
utes.
That is not what happened.
The breaker malfunctioned and did not reset itself.
The timing of the limb falling and the breaker not

Madison is mayor of year

"hi is an honor to have been selected by my peers as
the recipient of the ''Mayor of the Year" for the state of
Florida," Midiray mayor Delores Madison said at the
Florida League of Cities award ceremony. T h e
organization each year recognizes .a miyor for' otltL
standing civic.commitment, leadership, public outreach
and service to the.city during the past year. The cere-
mony was held November 18 in Orlando.
Madison did not take full credit for the accom-
plishments of her city over the past year. "I thank
God for giving me the strength and vision to bring our
city out of a state of financial deficit. Thi prestigious
award symbolizes the hard work that I have done, but
also is a reflection of the commitment from our city
council members, city staff, citizens and the Florida
League of Cities, who believe in me," Madison said in
a press release from the Florida League of Cities.
Madison took the reins of Midway at a time when the
small east Gadsden County city was facing several
financial hurdles. Under her leadership and the cooper-

action of the
council the city
was able to pay
off a substan-
tial debt, bring
all of the city
bills current,

Circuit Court Judge George
Reynolds ruled last week that the
county's ordinance to limit the size
of the transmission poles that utility
companies could use was "over-
broad."
"That's really saying we're not
wrong but it means that the ordi-
nance is short of unconstitutional
(because of the broad language),"
said county attorney Thornton
Williams.
Earlier this month, Progress
Energy and the county met in
Reynolds' chambers to take a hard
look at the issue of power lines and
the amount of kilowatts that could
pass through, and if the county had
the authority to limit that kilowatt

transmission. At the time Reynolds
did not rule, saying that he wanted
to take the matter under advisement.
At that time, representatives from
Progress Energy argued that the leg-
islature doesn't require that utility
companies take local ordinances
into consideration when deciding
where to locate transmission lines.
The local ordinance was an attempt
to prevent utility companies from
disregarding the citizens who will
be affected by the transmission line
placement. In short, the ordinance
was a way for local people to have
their opinions heard and considered.
"I see his point, maybe if the lan-
guage in the ordinance had not
addressed design and construction,
it may have been approved. I don't
think the county has any expertise in

Arrested felon slips out

of cuffs, tries to escape

by ALICE DU PONT
Times Editor

Monday wasn't a good day for 20-
year-old Curtis Dixon, Jr. He was
arrested early in the day for posses-
sion of a firearm by a convicted
felon. The gun he had was taken in a
burglary in the Havana area a few
weeks ago. He just didn't want to go
to jail. So, he attempted to escape.
This is what happened:
On Friday, Nov. 25, several people
in the community where he lives
called Sheriff Morris Young to
report shots being fired. Young, who
was out of town, called Major James
Morgan. Morgan called Inv. Larry
Smith, who was on call. When
Smith arrived the shooting had
stopped, and Dixon and a few other
young men were sitting around in a

mobile home that belonged to one of
Dixon's friends.
As Smith walked in he saw Dixon
in a back
bedroom. b,
"Out of the
corner of my
eye, I saw ',
him toss
something
out of the
window," he
said. That
something, f.

Lamb foundation makes computers available to Midway kids

by BYRON SPIRES
Times Staff Writer
Students in Midway will soon have access to six com-
puters thanks to the Eugene Lamb Jr. Foundation and the
Florida Department of Corrections.
The Lamb Foundation was established by Lamb's son,
Brian, to help the City of Midway with local projects
and as a fund raising arm for the Eugene Lamb Jr.
Recreation Center and park. The foundation works to
enhance Midway's recreation center.
Brian founded the organization in 2003 in honor of his
father and his lifelong commitment to young people.
Eugene Lamb retired from the Leon County school sys-
tem where he coached and taught for 30 years. Lamb
also volunteered and worked for the Tallahassee Recre-
ation Department during those same years.
Lamb's wife, Delores, the president of the foundation
said their son saw a need for the foundation after the
City of Midway named the park after his father. He
wanted, she said to see that Midway children had recre-
ation activities that he had enjoyed as a child in Talla-
hassee.
The foundation, she said, was set up to help find funds
and donations for the recreation center and park.
Delores Lamb, who retired this year from DOC after 24
years of service, was aware of the departments Comput-
ers for Kids program and applied for the computers for
the Lamb Recreation Center.
The computers are surplus state inventory and have
been refurbished by state inmates at the Cross City Cor-
rectional Institution as part of DOC's vocational training
program, to be used by Florida kids.
The computers are available, Lamb said, to organiza-
tions like the Lamb Foundation, churches or civic clubs
that work with children. Lamb said that the comput-
ers will be housed in the center once the City of Midway
can make sure that they are secure. It will also be the
city's responsibility to provide someone to oversee the
operation of the computers at the center.
"We are working on the details now of how the center
will be operated," Lamb said.
Once those details have been worked out, the center
will be opened at set times so that Midway students that
do not have computers at home can have access. In addi-
tion she said that an intemet service will be provided
and strictly monitored which will allow students an
opportunity to do research for homework, school proj-
ects and cultural interest.
Lamb said this was the first phase of computers for the
center and that depending upon their use and the
response from the community there may be more to
come. The foundation will provide a high volume
printer for the six computers.
"The computers will also be available to adults and
senior citizens," Lamb said about future plans for the
center and the computers.
Lamb hopes that by investing in the center with the
computers for children it will help draw citizens to the
center. She feels the center is Aigood place for children
to dse their energy in a positive way.

needs. I want to thank the foundation for what they have
done for all of the citizens of Midway," Madison said.
Commissioner Eugene Lamb, who works closely with
the foundation was excited about the computers for the
recreation center. "We want to thank the Department of
Corrections for their donation to the residents of Mid-
way," Lamb said.
Delores Lamb said that next year was going to be a big
year for the foundation. Plans are to solicit funds from
both private and public sources to enhance the play-
ground equipment. There is a need for audiovisual
equipment at the center, and the list grows longer. The
future may hold plans for a possible softball field at the
park, Lamb said.

The exact date the center will be open for computer use
has not been established, but the City of Midway is
expected to make that announcement in the near future.
The Eugene Lamb Jr. Foundation is a non-profit organ-
ization. The foundation has a board of directors that
includes Freddie Franklin, Rolanda Lamb, Vernell Ross,
David Chapman and Delores Lamb. Donations to the
foundation are tax deductible, Lamb said.
If you would like more information about the founda-
tion you can contact Delores Lamb at 850-576-8577; the

Banks' contract under commission's scrutiny

by BYRON SPIRES
Times Staff Writer
Quincy city manager Willie Earl
Banks' contract was the subject of a
commissioner workshop last week.
Banks' current contract will
expire in January 2006.
The workshop was set up to discuss
Banks' contract and his evaluation.
The evaluation is part of the process
used each year in determining
whether or not the commissioners
will reappoint him for another year.
Each commissioner was asked to
complete an evaluation before the
workshop and meet with Banks with
their concerns.
The first problem for the commis-
sioners was not Banks' contract, but
the time period iii which they could
discuss his contract.
Commissioner Derrick Elias said
he had reviewed the city manager's
contract and thought that the evalua-
tions had to be done 30 days prior to
the workshop concerning his con-
tract.
If that was the case, he said, then
the commission was out of compli-
ance with the contract by having the
workshop, since there had not been
a 30-day period between the evalua-
tions and the workshop.
City attorney Jack McLean agreed
and asked Banks if he thought the
workshop at this time would be a
breach of his contract.
Banks said he did not.
With that out of the way, the com-
mission moved to the evaluation and
the contract.

Mayor Sherrie Taylor asked that
each commissioner report on his
evaluation.
Elias said that he had talked to
Banks about his concerns. He added
that he had not ranked Banks very
high and his concerns.were centered
around the fiscal problems the city
has experienced and how he had
handled them.
Other concerns he said had been
in Banks not responding to person-
nel problems and taking disciplinary
action. Elias did say that Banks had
met some of his expectations, and
that in his meeting with Banks he
had made some suggestions.
Commissioner Andy Gay said that
he, too, had meet with Banks and
had some of the same concerns as
Elias, He said he was concerned
about the fiscal management of the
city's finances and .the overall
morale of city employees. Gay said
that Banks should have been quicker
in taking action in the financial

department. Gay said that he had
given Banks an overall rating below
meeting expectations.
Commissioner Finley Cook said
that he had voiced his concerns
before and that he was looking for a
management change.
Commissioner Keith Dowdell said
his evaluation was between him and
the city manager. Dowdell consid-
ered it to be confidential.
Taylor said that she had seen some
improvements since the first of the
year, but that there were "still miles
to go." She also said she has some
fiscal concerns and that changes had
been made, added that she was in
hopes that it was not too late.
Taylor stated that she wanted to
Give the city manager an opportu-
nity to put some :hlngs in place.
Elias added that the evaluations
were constructive criticism and
intended to help the city manager.
He said that he would like the city
manager to be more active in his
management and know more about
what was going on in the city,
instead of passive and depending on
his staff.
The comments shifted from the city
manager's evaluation to his con-
tract. Chief among those concerns
was the termination clause in the
contract. There had been some con-
fusion about whether the contract
would allow a severance pay if
Banks was not reappointed.
McLean said that Bank's contract
would end at midnight on the first
meeting of January 2006, that the
commissioners would have an

opportunity to reject or accept his
contract at that meeting.
According to McLean, the con-
tract said that Banks would receive a
severance package that included six
months of pay. McLean said that the
commissioners had agreed at last
year's negotiations to the contract.,
Elias said he did not read it that
way. He said he thought that if the
city manager was not reappointed
that they would just part ways.
McLean said that there had been
quite a bit of debate over the con-
tract last year and that Banks had
originally asked for nine months and
it had been cut back to six months.
Elias said that he would not hinder
the issue of the six months.
It was decided that each commis-
sioner would meet individually with
the city manager between now and
the first meeting in January.

Quincy woman dies;

thrown from vehicle

TIms Editor
A 36-year-old Quincy woman,
Annie Leverson Williams, was
killed Friday night when she was
ejected from the 1998 Chrysler she
was driving.
According to a report released by
the Florida Highway Patrol,
Williams was traveling south on
Attapulgus Highway around 11:50
p.m. when she failed to negotiate a
curve.

The car went into the left lane and
Williams overcorrected. The vehi-
cle begin to rotate clockwise as it
traveled across both lanes of Atta-
pulgus Highway, began to overturn
and struck a tree.
Williams was ejected from the car
as it continued to roll. She was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
Whether or not the accident was
alcohol related or if Williams was
wearing a seatbelt is under investi-
gation.

Man identified while

cashing stolen checks

by ALICE DU PONT
Tims Editor
A number of home invasions have
occurred throughout the county
recently. And deputies say that as
the holiday season approaches, they
may get worse before they get bet-
ter.
Anyway, they're hard at work try-
ing to stem the tide of home inva-
sions. This week, they got a little
help from a friend of an alleged buri
glar.
Last week a home in the western
part of the county, was burglarized.
Some of the items taken include a
digital camera, jewelry, and some
personal checks.
The burglars were apparently per-
plexed about just 'what to do with

the checks and handed them off to a
friend. One check had been signed
by the homeowner in anticipation of
paying a bill the following day.
"He got the check and wrote in his
name," said Inv. Larry Smith. The
man then took the check to a local
credit union where he was allowed
to cash it, only after he presented
identification. He endorsed the
check and wrote under his signature
his current driver license number.
lHe c'en thi'e Ii his diatc otif;rhth ..
The camera mounted on the counter
was able to get a crystal clear photo
as he made the illegal tranaction.
"We're goili to pick him up for the
check. We don't think he had any-
thing to do with the burglary, but he
can lead us to who committed the
burglary," Smith said.

Shop in Gadsden County this Christmas

finding Roads

By: Byron Spires

Just a cat story about a dog

I didn't go shopping last Fri-
day, I didn't intend to. I refuse
to be caught up in the mad rush
and frenzy to acquire more
things for myself and for those
I love.
I have never like shopping for
Christmas. I don't like shopping
at all for that matter. I know
that I need to buy clothes twice
a year (for summer and winter)
so when I'm out of town, I try
to buy what I can't buy in
Gadsden County. This year,
2005, I think I've been to Gov-
ernor's Square Mall once and
not at all to Tallahassee Mall.
But for you people who love to
shop, why not try local stores
first to see if you can find at
least some of the items you
want to purchase?
It irks me when I hear people
say they "can't find anything"
in Quincy. True, you probably
won't find "everything" you
want here because this is a
small town with a population of
less than 8,000 people (includ-
ing children). But if you con-
tinue to take your dollars else-
where, then we won't even
have those few things. Mer-
chants cannot afford t tock

Gretna woes

Dear Editor,

While living in Gretna the
first 18 years of my life, all I
heard was how Gretna had some
of the worse drinking water. And
now that I am 27, I've found an
even bigger.problem!! My fam-

sell.
For instance, a local store car-
ries a certain brand of blender.
The blender cost $29.99 in
Quincy. The same item is
$28.99 in Tallahassee. Instead
of buying the blender here, you
take the hour (to and from) Tal-
lahassee and use three gallons
of fuel. In my opinion that's not
a good deal.
Another way to look at it is
the ripple effect. The local store
that you passed more than
likely will employ local people.
Those people own homes here,
they pay taxes here and so does
the store owner. So, when you
take money out of your com-
munity, you're taking from
yourself. Each dollar spent
here, in one way or another,
comes back here.
Throughout the year, I come
across various program book-
lets, souvenir books, yearbooks
and the like. Some of them are
full of ads and 90 percent of the
ads are from local businesses.
Someone has gone into the
stores and businesses and to
individuals asking for support
for programs, events, shows,
etc. Only ahandfutl', ifany, of ,
tie'ad ia re from;r lbres'nd"'
ily owns over 25 acres of land in
Gretna and I am looking to move
a home I just purchased onto the
property.
It was only after purchasing
the home when I found out that I
can not move the home onto my
family owned property. Come to
find out, the city of Gretna has
reached it's water capacity
because of a leak they have and
they are restricting any new
homes being moved there. I'
have had my new home for.
about 1 year now but still they:
have done nothing! This hurts
me to my heart to know that my
family has struggled very hard:

businesses in Tallahassee. Very
few of these people support our
churches, schools, and pro-
grams. Doesn't it make good
sense to spend your money with
the people who support you?
When I ask people why they
make a bee-line for Leon
County to spend their hard-
earned dollars, these are some
of the responses:
"There is more variety."
Answer: If you shopped at
home the merchants could
afford to stock more of a vari-
ety because the items would
move quickly.
"It's someplace different to
go."
Answer: Go, just wait until
you get back home to buy any-
thing.
"I can't find what I want."
Answer: Have you really
looked? If you ask, most mer-
chants can get it for you, they
have access to many of the
same vendors.
Just try it, for this Christmas
only. Try to spend as much of
your money in Gadsden County
as you possibly can. I think you
might be a little surprised at the
thio.gs youtfLnd as. opposed to ,v
thði'tgs'yoirvfnnot'find: '
for us to have land and now that
we have it, the City's water is
our downfall. Most of all, not
only have they hurt me, but also
the Katrina victims. We had
plans of providing Katrina vic-
tims with several homes on this
vacant land but that action has
instantly come to a hault.
I ask that you all PLEASE do
an investigation and make this
public news. I plead on my
hands and needs for something
to be done. This is not right.
What am I to do with the home I
have already purchased?

December 6 1941. A day to remember

Tuesday will mark the 64th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. President
Franklin Roosevelt said that it would be a day that "would go down in infamy" as one
of America's most tragic times. He was right, it was the stepping stone to war for a
whole generation of young Americans, many of who n were from Gadsden County.
This county gave more than fifty of its young sons to fight tyranny and save the'
world. Let us remember those who fought so valiantly for their country as we start the
celebration of Christmas.
The photo above was taken of four WW II vintage fighter planes as they circled Tal-
lahassee in formation before one of the Florida State Seminole home games earlier this
ii~ .

fall. One note of interest, they were about a mile away when the photo was snapped
with a telephoto lens.

Tuesday w~~~imr h 4hanvrayo h bmigo er abr rsdn

Over the last few years I've
had people drop off cats near
my house.
I guess, because it is at the
end of two roads, it's a logi-
cal place for someone to get
rid of an unwanted pet.
Usually one of the neigh-
bors will catch them and
give them a good home. In
the mean time, however we
all tend to feed them.
About a month ago another
one showed up in the neigh-
borhood.
I came home late one
evening to find this cat sit-
ting on the steps of my front
porch acting like it actually
owned my house.
You know cats are a little
different. They have a
strange view life, in other
words cats act like we are
the nuisance and they are the
solution.
The cat appeared to be in
fairly good health. It is white
with a few spots of brown
and tan mixed in. I think it is
a female, but don't hold me
'to that. '
I figured that the cat was
probably tame and was inter-
ested in adopting me and my
house.
Before I get too far in
telling this cat story you
need to know that I have had
a lot of experience with ani-
mals showing up at my
home. There have been a few
dogs and a multitude of cats
that seem to have settled in
my neighborhood off and on

over the years.
Several of the neighbors
have dogs and cats as well.
One of my neighbors had a
pretty little miniature collie.
The dog really liked me and
often met me in the driveway
when I came home.
When I was at home she
stayed either on the front
porch or at my back steps.
Sadly she had to be put to
sleep last year.
She did have a buddy, a
female beagle. The beagle
didn't take to me like the
collie did, but she will still
visit me every now and then.
About two weeks ago she
paid me a visit. I was bring-
ing some groceries in the
house one night and had
propped my screen door
open.
On the second trip in I felt
something whiz by me as I
was putting the grocery bags
on the counter in the kitchen.
It went by me so fast I
couldn't see anything but a
blur out of the corer of my
.eye and it went in one of the
bedrooms.
On several occasions I have
had to run racoons and,
oppossums off my back
porch. I guess they could
smell food in a refrigerator I
kept on the porch back then.
I figured that's what sped
by me that night,
I was already headed for
the broom and dreading an
evening of chasing a racoon
through my house trying to

get it to go through the open
front door, while mosquitos
filled my house.
Thankfully, it was just my
beagle friend who had come
to visit me. All I needed was
a hot dog and she went right
out the door.
Now back to the cat on my
porch.
She is not tame by the way,
and would not let me get
within ten feet of her. When
I approached her she ran off
to the edge of the yard and
looked back at me like I was
the trespasser. You know the
look I'm talking about I'm
sure.
Let me say this too while
I'm telling you about this
cat. I am not a cat person,
but for some reason they like'
me. I guess they look at me
as a challenge.
Over the past month the cat!
has ventured toward me
more and more. Especially if
I am holding a chicken leg.
There is nothing wrong
with a little bribery towards
a cati I think they feel they
still have control even if ,ouu
are the one that is holding
the chicken leg.
I do have one problem. It
seems she is getting fatter. I
hope it is from eating
chicken legs, but I'm afraid
someone may have dropped
her off a boyfriend.
Just in case I'm wrong
about the chicken leg, do you
know anyone.who would
like a kitten?

"It's Great to Wait"

By Alma Venisee, Director Invest-
ing In Our Youth, Inc.

Investing In Our Youth, Inc. (IOY)
is a non-profit organization dedi-
cated to giving young people the
information necessary to protect
themselves from unwanted pregnan-
cies and sexually transmitted dis-
eases.
Through its program "Responsible
Social Values", designed by health
professionals, educators and teens,
IOY educates youth 9-18 years of
age and their parents about sexually
transmitted diseases and the only
way to remain 100 percent safe from
the physical and emotional compli-
cations of early sexual activity:
abstinence.
No longer strictly a moral issue,
early sexual activity is not only dev-
astating our youth physically and
emotionally but is costing our nation
billions of dollars annually.
Approximately 12 million new
cases of sexually transmitted dis-
eases (STDs), 3 million of them
among teenagers, occur annually.
This includes HIV infections.
Annual estimates of direct and indi-
rect cost are $17 billion.
77% of unmarried teen mothers go
on welfare within five years of giv-
ing birth. $7 billion dollars will be
spent dealing with social problems
resulting from recent, births to girls
under the age of 18.
Through live presentations, which
include slides, printed handouts,
speakers and skits, IOY educates
youth about the health risks of teen
sex as well as the physical and emo-
tional social benefits of postponing
early sexual involvement. Through
the parent packets (mailed home to

insure their arrival) communication
skills between parents and their
teens are improved, thereby helping
parents know how to reinforce the
abstinence message. IOY is commit-
ted to reaching our youth with the
message that "They are Worth Wait-

ing For" and "It's Great to Wait".
IOY welcomes the opportunity to
present its "Responsible Social Val-
ues" program to any youth group. If
you would like to schedule a presen-
tation or discuss this further, please

Havana town council learns about audit process

by BYRON SPIRES
Times Staff Writer

Havana town council members
were given a crash course in
Audit 101 Tuesday morning.
Karen Myrick, former finance
director and now part-time
finance department employee,
went over several of the items
auditors will require to complete
the 2004-2005 audit.
Myrick retired two months
ago as town clerk and finance
director and was replaced by
Howard McKinnon. She agreed
to stay on as a part-time
employee.
The State of Florida requires
that each city be audited at the
end of the September 30 fiscal
year.
Myrick said that the auditors,
James Moore and Company, sent
a list of items they expect the
town to provide for the audits.
"Essentially, they verify that the
assets shown on our books actu-
ally exist and that they are valued
properly. This includes all cash
on hand, the bank accounts and
investments, the capital assets
and accounts receivable,"

Myrick said, adding that the
auditors confirm the town's bank
balances with the bank.
Myrick said the auditors will
review the expenditures for the
year and question any that do not
seem to be recorded properly.
Interestingly, Myrick said the
auditors would read the local
papers for the press coverage of
the meetings.
Some of the other requested
items were:
* All debt agreements and leases
for review.
* The minutes of each meeting,
looking for potential unrecorded
items.
* All grant documents to review
for proper recording and report-
ing.
* A detailed listing of town coun-
cil members as of September 30,
2005.
* A copy of the September 30,
2005, bank reconciliation for all
cash accounts.
* Access to the September 2005
and October 2005 bank state-
ments, including copies of can-
celled checks.
* A detail of cash, certificates of
deposit and investments, broken

out between unrestricted and
restricted classifications as of
September 30, 2005.
* A copy. of accounts payable
aging report at September 30,
2005.
* A detailed listing, by
employee, of compensated
absences at September 30, 2005.
* A detailed listing of customer
deposits at September 30,2005.
Myrick said that auditors will
spend three to four days at the
town hall reviewing and gather-
ing the information for the audit.
While in Havana they will
conduct an interview with the
finance director to determine if

there are adequate internal con-
trols and to make sure those con-
trols are being followed. Once
the information has been gath-
ered Myrick said the auditors
will complete the audit in their
office.
In other business:
* The council approved annexing
4.54 acres into the Town of
Havana. The property is part of a
new subdivision currently under
construction.
* The council approved a resolu-
tion requesting the use of the
CSX Railroad tracks between
Tallahassee and Attapulgus, GA,
on December 9 and 10, 2006.
The request was for the Gulf
Wind Chapter of the National
Railway Historical Society, in
association with the Southeast-
ern Railcar Operator's Associa-

tion, to participate in the Town of
Havana's Centennial Celebration
by operating historic motor cars
in a parade through the Town of
Havana.
* Approved moving the council
meeting for December to Dec.
20.
* The council approved a pro-
posal by town manager Susan
Frieden to change the way the
town reimburses developers for
using underground electricity.
Frieden said that in the past the
town has paid the difference
between the overhead electric
service and underground to the
developer up front. She asked
that it be paid in installments
based on the completed homes of
the subdivision. The developer
would receive 25 percent of the
refund when 25 percent of the

subdivision was completed. Each
additional 25 percent will be paid
accordingly.
* Frieden informed the council
that only five people showed up
for the town energy workshop.
She said she was concerned that
residents did not understand that
this year's utility bills may be
higher. "The thermostat is in
your control," Frieden said.
* The council approved the clos-
ing of several downtown streets
for this year's Lawn Mower
Parade.
* Frieden told the council that
U.S. 27 would be under con-
struction starting Dec. 5 and con-
tinuing for seven months. She
added that the downtown area
would not be affected until after
the Christmas season was fin-
ished.

Judge: county 'proper' in

its limits to hospital access

by AILICE DU PONT
Times Editor

Ashford Healthcare Systems, Inc.
went back to court Tuesday morn-
ing. This time, to ask the bankruptcy
judge to find the county in contempt
of the court order because the
county will not give the company a
set of keys to the new locks at the
hospital.
"The judge said the county was act-
ing properly and there was no basis
to find the county in contempt," said
county attorney Thornton Williams.
He said the 'emergency hearing' had
been requested after Ashford's CEO
Michael Lake received a letter from
county manager Marlon Brown last
week. The letter stated that the
county was willing to keep the facil-
ity open during normal business
hours, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and
possibly 6 p.m. daily, but that he felt
it was unreasonable for the company
to request access to the hospital 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
In his letter Brown said the county
\\as denyingLake's request because:
it was "unreasonable under the cir-
cunmstances." Those cusumstances"
were that the hospital no longer had
patients to consider. The Agency on

Health Care Administration
(AHCA) temporarily suspended the
license of Ashford Healthcare Sys-
tems, Inc. to operate the hospital
after citing six pages of infractions.
Williams said Lake sent the letter to
his attorney, Allen .Turnage, who
requested the contempt hearing,
"This is a big victory for the
county. We've been tested several
times (in court) and all of thejudges
have agreed that what we're doing is
right and that we have not done any-
thing unreasonable," Williams said.
"Lawsuits are a series of battles.
You win some and you lose some.
So far, we have fared well. As the
chairman (Ed Dixon) has said over

"I questioned him and a first he
tried to say it (the bagl wasn't his."
Smith said.
Monday morning, Nov. 28, with
warrant in hand, Smith visited
Dixon at home and placed him
under arrest. He was charged with
possession of a firearm by a con-
victed felon, which is an automatic
violation of his probation on an ear-

and over again, the main issue here
is to provide quality health care to
the citizens of Gadsden County,"
Williams said.
"I don't want any of our citizens to
think that any of us up here (mem-
bers of the board of county commis-
sioners) do not want the best quality
health care we can get for our peo-
ple. There are a lot of legal hoops
we have to jump through right now,
but the bottom line is our citizens,"
said Dixon. He thanked Williams
and assistant county attorney, Paul
Sexton for the work thay have done
with the lawsuits and the effort they
have given before and after the hos-
pital closed.

lier charge of possession of mari-
juana with intent to sell.
Monday afternoon Dixon was
handcuffed and taken to the county
jail. "He was able to slip out of one
of the handcuffs and roll the win-
dow down. When the vehicle turned
to go to the jail. he jumped out of the
window and ran," Smith'said. Dixon
crois*ed Pat Thomas Park \ay and
ran into the heavy\ brush and woods
nearby, so the K-9 unit was called.
"He was hiding under a broken
down RV parked behind Big Ben
Wrecking. We tried to get him to
come out but he wouldn't, so the:
dog went in," Smith said. That's
when Dixon came from under the
RV.
Major Shawn Wood, jail adminis-'
trator, said Dixon was bitten twice
by the K-9 deputy and suffered
other cuts and scratches from run-
ning through the woods. He was
taken by ambulance to Tallahassee
Memorial Hospital, where he was
treated and released.
Monday night Dixon was back in
Quincy and officially booked into
the county jail. He was charged with
possession of a firearm by a con-
victed felon with a bond of $10,000;
escape with a bond of $10,000; and
violation of probation, no bond.
Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 29: "He's
a little sore, I think, but-he'll be
okay," said Wood.

It's Time
For A
Change

I, along "Nth h
you, can say "e
serve a good God.
We can say for 2005, we've come
through the storm and rain, through
the sickness and pain, but by the
mercy of God, we made it. God is
still blessing America! We.need to
focus on thanksmi\ine toda\. \\e
thjnk God 'for the pai[ but. _e are
saved by race today\ A\cti. 15: 1-
12). To God Be The Glory' Do \\e
really understand what it means to
worship the true God? (Acts 7:41).
And they made a calf in those days
and offered sacrifice unto the idols
*and rejoiced in the works' of their
hand. What are we making and wor-
shipping today? Not a calf, but so
many other idols. Of all the bless-
ings we are enjoying today, we find
ourselves still mummering and com-
plaining. (Psalms 34:1) I will bless
the Lord at 'all times and his praises
shall continually be in my mouth.
(Psalms 121:1) I will lift up mine
eyes until the hills from whence
cometh my help. Yours also comes
from the Lord. God has no respec-
tive person when the storm arose on
the stormy sea just after a miracle of
five fishes and two loaves, of bread.
The test came when one wondered
why Jesus would allow a storm to
arise when the disciples were going
to do what he ordered and the same
as in our day. Jesus saw them toiling
with the waves and wind, he came
walking on the water. Since there
was no boat available, he just
walked on the water and he did not
need a material boat. What about us?
As long as we obey him, we have no
need to worry, he,will come to our
rescue. We may not recognize in
many ways sometimes, but just rest
assured that if we obey him, in the
time of need and testing, he will
come and speak peace. We need
him to speak peace to our sick and
hurting world today. God is still in
control and there is no problem or
situation that he can not solve. We
need to recognize as the Apostle
Paul asked the question, Lord what
will you have me to do? Starting
with this Thanksgiving, we are
grateful for the turkeys with all of
the trimmings, but who spared us to
see the day? Lord thank you for your
many blessings. We may not deserve
them, but thank you anyway. Lord,
give us a new mind to not only look
at the youth and say no to drugs, but
say no to all sin, which was done and
are still creating problems. No size,
no shape, no color. Just say no to sin
period. Say yes to God's word and
Lord save us all. All nations blessed
is the nation whose God is the Lord.
We put the words in practice, In God
We Trust, if we put our trust in God,
his word, his power, we will see a
miracle. God works in mysterious
ways. We say we are the children of
God, God can and will support his
children without a DNA. Having
this seal, he knows them that are his
and as St. John 10 says I am the
good shepherd. We need to realize in
spite of law and order, if we cannot

stop drugs with all that is being
done, it is not working, but if we can
get Jesus into hearts and minds and
souls saved and committed and ded-
icated at least, we can give it a try
this Thanksgiving. Well this is a
good time to,get started. Lord save
us all. We can draw closer to God
ourselves.
Humbly submitted,
Evangelist Florence Bradiwell

Mt. Hosea Church
thanks Gadsden County
Thanksgiving has been demon-
strated at its highest level by the
many wonderful people of Gadsden
County during the 2005 year.
Friends and neighbors throughout
our county reached deep into their
pockets and gave to the Katrina vic-
tims. At this time, we the members
of Mt. Hosea Church, would like to
thank our Pastor Rev., William
Maxwell, Assistant Pastor Rev.
Eddie York, our board and members
who answered the call by our county
commissioner Brenda Holt to give.
The moment commissioner Holt
asked our church, along with others,
to give to the Red Cross through the
county commission, our pastors,
boards and members went to work
because that is what people of God
are suppose to do. Deep in our hearts
we all know, but for the mercy of
God, we could have been tragic vic-
tims of several recent hurricanes in
Florida. And all bf us have been,
directed by the Lord to help those in
need. "I would like to thank all
churches; including Mt. Hosea,
organizations and individuals that
gave to the hurricane victims. Our
county gave from the heart and I am
sure those that gave will be blessed,"
stated commissioner Holt. Our
church is also volunteering at St.
John Elementary School, and invite
all churches in our community to
come out and join us working with
our children.

of all the services we offer our customers. It makes it easy for you to select the perfect

The engaged couple registers their preferences in china, crystal, flatware and giftware. We
record this and update the list as gifts are purchased to avoid duplicates.
Visit us the next time you're shopping for wedding or shower gifts. We'll help you select a
gift the bride really wants. We'll even gift-wrap it. And the service is free!

Gadsden 'Keeping The

Promise' with AIDS Day

by ALICE DU PONT
Times Editor
Despite the fact that the cases of HIV/AIDS are on the
decline in Florida, the statistics are still staggering. The
state ranks third behind New York and California in the
number of cases reported in adults and adolescents, and
second behind New York in the total number of children
with the disease.
That's why today, the Board of County Commissioners
and the health department will host "Gadsden: Keeping
the Proni-c'" at the National Guard Armoryfrom 9 a.m.
to 4 pnm. There will be free food, dlnks, an iHMIVtJest-,
ing T1odj is alsNCo \\World .AIbD Da\ and the couuis will -
join in that ubsei \ jae \\ iih counties and cities through-
out the world. Transportation to and from the Armory
will be provided. Pick up times are 9 a.m. and 12 noon

and drop-off times are 12 noon and 3 p.m. The pick up
and drop-off sites are: Greensboro's Express Lane Store,
Chattahoochee's Flint Gardens Apartments, Havana's
Post Office and Midway's Post Office.
"HIV/AIDS has affected our community just as it has
affected communities throughout the world. We asked
the churches, businesses, organizations, and individuals
for support in this effort," said Keith Blocker. He said
other agencies from the Big Bend area that provide care
to those affected and infected with the disease will also
participate in the day-long observance and free screen-
ings ,. .. . -. . .
.The numberof residelit' dying from HIVi/IDS has
decreased from 4,336 in 1995 to 3,093,";epiesentig a
29 percent decrease, due mainly to improved treatment.
Still, Blocker said, that's too many people.

Florida's win over FSU Satur-
day gave me a win over my rival in
my last head to head football pre-
diction column this year.
Son, Joey, and I differed three

times. N.C.
State and the
Gators win off
set Georgia's
win over Tech
and gave me a
7-3 week com-
pared to his 6-4
pickings.
Thus. I fin-
ished the season
on a high note.
getting my
overall season
mark to 7-6. It
was also rny
second straight
win over Joey.
The overall
series is still in
his favor as I
am 10-13 with

five ties.
If I could win the next four
years, this series would end, if it
doesn't end anyway, as I contem-
plate retirement.

That's another story though. The
big story is how easy the Gators
really won last Saturday's game.
There is no doubt that the
blocked field goal returned for a
touchdown was the games big play.
But the Seminoles really couldn't
move the ball before the final quNr-
ter, when the game was already
decided.
FSU just can't consistently block
anyone. Opponents found this out
mid-way the season and kept pres-
sure on the injury and youth prob-
lem line.
Saturday night the Seminoles
will find another hard to block
bunch in Virginia Tech. I don't see
any way FSU can win the first ACC
Championship game which means
the Seminoles will be headed most
likely to the Peach Bowl instead of
a probable BCS spot that was fig-
ured 6 weeks ago.
A tough Peach Bowl opponent.
probably South Carolina, could
hand the Seminoles a fifth straight

loss. The good new s about that is a
Stel\e Spurrier ream has trouble
beating a Bowden coached team.
The really bad thing about a
bowl loss is FSU opens at Miami
next year. so six losses in a row for
the Noles is a distinct possibility.
The \\in for Florida helped take
away some of the teams disappoint-
ment for not having reached the
SEC Championship game despite
beating Georgia and Tennessee. The
three SEC losses Florida did have
\\ill probably send them to the
Independence Bowl against either
Oklahoma or Nebraska. Either
opponent would make it an interest-
ing game. Florida needs a \\in to
break a three game bow\\ losing
streak That would d give Gator fans
a feeling that the program \\as get-
tinm back to \\here it used to be.
One thing FSU and Florida have
to face is the fact that recruiting is
getting harder in the state. I
opined several \ears back that pro-
grams at LUCF, UTSF. FAU., and FILU

would start to make a difference at
FSU and UF.
Added to that the fact that the
ACC is tougher. and South Carolina
will be a factor in the SEC East
makes things rougher for both UF
and FSU tov win a national title any-
time soon.
But fans can hope, and things
can happen. Right now though be
glad both teams qualify for bowls
and both teams still have national
interest.
Before closinM this column I do
\ ant to sav a word about the job
Rubin Carter did at FAMU.
Having come in as late as he did
and guide the Rattlers to a winning
season deserves high praise. Beat-
ing Bethune in the season final will
only help FAMU recruiting and
help Carter get the backing to
return the Rattler's to the MEAC
championship hunt. It took FAMU
a little too long to select a coach
but it sure appears they picked the
ri-ht one.

resetting coincided with the city's

utility workers getting off of work.
Wade said that everyone had left
work and it took a few minutes to
get them back to check on the prob-
lem.

And again there was another mis-
fortune.
The breaker did not reset because
there was something wrong with it.
According to Martha Barnwell,

A
I 11i

regional vice president for Progress
Energy Florida Inc., their employ-
ees were at the substation within 45
minutes of the blackout.
The malfunctioning breaker had to
be repaired and parts were not read-
ily available. It was during the
ensuing hours that the breaker was
repaired.
Barnwell said that while the sub-
station was down workers did some
maintenance on the unit. She said
the maintenance required the sub-
station to be down while it was
being done. If there were a good
side to the shut down she said, it
was that the maintenance was done
with no power interruption.
"We feel very confident in the
repairs we made," Barnwell said.
She added that they were looking at
ways to make sure that what did
happen could be avoided in the
future. "We learn from everything
we do," Bamwell said.
Wade said that everything was
done to get the electricity back on
as quickly as possible by both the
city and Progress Energy crews.
"Considering the amount of voltage
and the item that failed they did a
good job," Wade said.
Wade added that working with
that high a voltage (69,000) of elec-
tricity takes a lot of care and that
the wrong move could end some-

been rezoned to residential. Cur-
rently there are several subdivisions
with homes both completed and
under construction.
Madison said that the annexation
will help bring tax money to the
city's coffers, which in turn will help
the city provide more services to its
citizens. Included in that annexation
has been several hundred acres of
commercial land. The city stream-
lined its permitting process to make
it more attractive to lure new busi-
nesses to the city. Midway created
the Interchange Commercial (IC)
zoning which limits the types of
businesses that can locate within the
city. The IC designation keeps heavy
industry out of the city and lists
those businesses that will be
allowed.
To date the city has brought 16 new
businesses with plans for nearly a
dozen more within the next 18
months.
Madison was instrumental in bring-
ing the city's comprehensive plan up
to date and has been active in pursu-
ing grants for the city's parks and a
Community Development Block
Grant to pave several Midway
roads. Madison said she will con-
tinue to strive to make Midway a
better place to live.
"I want to make sure that the resi-
dents that have lived here all of their
lives and our newest residents have
a city they can be proud of," Madi-
son said.
Although Madison is very proud of

one's life.
He said that he had not seen this
type of problem in the 20 years he
has worked with the city.
"It was unfortunate that it hap-
pened when it did, but we worked
as hard as we could to get every-
body back up and running as
quickly as we could," Wade said.
Wade said that the city has an
active right-of-way program to
keep limbs and trees away from the
power lines. "This is our primary
defense against such occurrences,"
Wade said about the limb falling on
the transmission line.
He said that when residents see
the city's crews out trimming trees
from powerlines to please bear with
them. "Trimming," Wade said was
essential to the city's electric sys-
tems.
The power outage brought the city
to a near stand still with traffic
lights out and many businesses
unable to operate.
Quincy police chief Gerald
McSwain said that his department
had to use the state's emergency
radio channels, but that there were
no other problems with police com-
munications. There were also sev-
eral officers posted at strategic
intersections to direct traffic.
Winn-Dixie was able to continue
to operate during the power outage,
store manager McCall Burney said.
The store has a generator that will
operate about twenty-five percent
of the lights and the cash registers,
he said.
Every register in the store was
open at the time the electricity went
off. Customers could still see in the
store, but the lights were dim.
When asked if he thought it had
affected his sales, Burney said he
was sure that it had some affect.
He added that it probably cost the
city as well in lost tax revenue.
Richard Willsey, manager of the
Quincy Wal Mart did not fair as
well. The electric outage brought
his store to a screeching halt. The
store was packed, he said, when the
electricity went off. His cash regis-
ters have battery back up, but only
for limited time.
He said he had a lot of problems
finding out what had happened and
thanked the city police department
for keeping him abreast of the
problem and how long the electric-
ity would be off. "It was a mess,"
Willsey said about the five hour
stint without electricity.
Willsey said that he heard a lot of
comments like,"how could this
happen," from his customers.
He said that he felt many customers
had left town to shop in Tallahassee
costing the city and his store a lot
of revenue.
Ironically he said several cus-
tomers sat in the parking lot until
the electricity came back on about
9 p.m. Wednesday.
After the electricity came back on
Willsey and Burney said that it was
back to business as usual and the
stores filled back up.

transmission lines, it may not have
been in jeopardy of being over-
turned if Progress Energy chose to
appeal the judge's ruling.
One issue that Reynolds said con-
cerned him was the lack of opportu-
nity for citizens affected by the
transmission to be heard. However,
the judge agreed that the company's
arguments were legally correct and
the county should not intervene. He
did, however, ask both sides to sub-
mit written arguments.
Williams said the board of county
commissioners will meet in a closed
session to decide what the county
will do next and to discuss options.

her award, she is the first to admit
there is still a lot of work to be done
in Midway. More roads need to be
paved and the city needs a full time
police force, she said.
Affordable housing for local resi-
dents is an issue she is concerned
about. Madison is active in getting
homes in Midway for residents
through programs such as Habitat
for Humanity, of which she is a
board member, and the county's
SHIP program.
As for the future, Madison said she
sees a lot of good things on the hori-
zon for Midway like sidewalks and
street lights. And especially parks
for the citizens and the children to
enjoy.

With the newfound revenue, the
BOCC is now able to help the sher-
iff's department with its nearly
$250,000 shortfall this year. The
money to help the sheriff came from
$232,015 collected from local gov-
ernment emergency sales tax.
State statute requires county's to
balance their budgets and permits
the BOCC to amend the previous
budget in order to produce a bal-
anced budget. Suggs sait there were
unspent funds in departments and
those funds were re-routed, in some
cases, to help other departments that
came in over budget.
Some of the money came from
extra revenue the county didn't
know it would receive. For instance,
the county collected $63,240 more
in delinquent ad valorem taxes than
was expected and more than $7,500
from Waste Management in the
form of franchise fees. Other unused
dollars remained in departments but
are to be used in another way. The
road and bridge department earned
$11,723 in debt service. That money
will now, because of a budget
amendment, be used for unpaved
road maintenance and salaries. In
the supervisor of elections office,
$1,812 that was earmarked for exec-
utive salaries can now be used for
administrative services.
"The bottom line is that if we were
in business, we made more money
than we spent," Suggs"said, adding.
"Tihere'enues uill' gi\e us a head
start inour '3 to 4 year plan." He
said in the coming months he will be
looking at (adjusting) fee schedules
in the county for services and
redesigning the grants office.
"I am very pleased. For the first
time in the 13 years that I have been
up here, I can see what we have and
where we have it. I know where the
money is... that was kept from us
before. I commend you, Mr. Suggs,
and the county manager," said com-
mission chairman Ed Dixon.

AIDS Day

"This year marks the 24th anniver-
sary of the year the world first
became aware of AIDS. Since 1988,
December 1st has been embraced on
the global calendar as World AIDS
Day. On this special day, the world-
wide community pauses to recog-
nize the suffering and toll caused by
the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This effort
encourages public education and
awareness surrounding HIV/AIDS.
Participation in the activities grows
stronger every year, from small local
groups to large community-based
and national organizations," wrote
Melissa Walton in a press release on
the event.

:On Saturday. November 26, 2005 the QPRD midget cheerleaders were on the scene at the local Winn
Dixie and Quincq IGA Foods stores to assist customers mith bagging groceries, pushing carts and unload-
ing groceries while the pee-wee cheerleaders passed out '"Have A Nice Day" cards to customers as they
cleft the stores. This is another community service project on the part of the QPRD Cheerleaders and
.Baton T-Airlers to give something back to their community while expecting nothing in return. Pictured
above beginning at the top left are Kymere Thompson & DeSha3la Graham, Khari Wilkinson, Tyjerica

parking lot free of empty shopping carts. This community service activity was well received by the cus-

Youth travel to Tampa Bay Buccaneers / Chicago Bears game

As a result of a personal invitation from Dexter Jack-
son, several local students were given the opportunity to
attend Sunday's NFL Buccaneers and Bears game in
Tampa.
The teens had the opportunity to stand toe-to-toe with
their favorite Buccaneer players after the game which
included the likes of Cadillac Williams (RB), Michael
Pittman (RB), Ellis Wyms (DT), Jermaine Phillips (CB),
Michael Clayton (WR) as Dexter personally introduced
each player.
This was also an opportunity to hear personal testi-
monies from NFL players on what it takes to reach the
next level in their football career. Main topics stressed

Education

expert gives

tips on

improving

your child's

writing skills

Dr. Marjorie Y. Lipson, professor
of education at the University of
Vermont, is an expert in reading
comprehension. reading assess-
ment and assessment/teaching of
students %kith disabilities. She has
served on several editonal adviso-
ry boards of acadenuc journals and
is an author of HOUGHTON MIF-
FLIN READING: THE
NATION'S CHOICE, a textbook
reading program for elementaNr
school students.

Professor Lipson says. "Writing is
a process with multiple steps even
for the
most accomplished authors. Here
are a few simple ways that you can
help your child with this process as
he/she learns to write."
Prewriting Help your child
think of ideas to write about by
talking with hinmher about favorite
acuvities or friends.
Drafting Ask )our child to
free-write or brainstorm about a
particular idea. Try not to worr'
about grammar. punctuauon, or
spelling mistakes. The key is to
get something down on paper: you
can worry about the details later.
Revising Ask %our child to
read the draft to you. Talk about
ways to improve his/her writing,
and then ask your child to rework
the writing so that it makes more
sense. It might help to add words
or details or rearrange some ideas.
Proofreading Help your child
correct any grammar, punctuation.
or spelling enors. .With youngg
children, you may have to do some
of the correcting yourself. Older
children may be able to make cor-
rections oncm you help identify
them.
Publishing Share your child's
finished work with others.
Children are often more willing to
revise and edit when they know\
that there is a reason to do so.
Letters to family and friends can

be great opportunities to spotlight
your child's work.
According to Professor Lipson.
"There are many ways to help >our
child develop good writing skills
even before he/she begins to for-
mally understand the writing
process."
Read or listen to your child's
wriung. Ask your child to read
his/her work to you out loud.
Many times reading out loud and
with an audience helps children
catch their own rtustakes. Tell your
child what you like about his/her
writing and be sure to ask ques-
tions in places where you get con-
fused.

" Positive feedback is ke\. When
wour child shares a piece of writing
with you, always find at least one
encouraging comment Your praise
will motivate your child to write
more frequently.. Display finished
work on the refrigerator or bulletin
board to show your child that you
are proud.

* Be flexible and look for more
reasons to write. Not all writing
has to go through the writing.
process. Encourage your child to
wnte for the "fun" of it, to help
him/her think through a problem,
or to share something interesting
with others. Many children like to
rite holiday messages, make gro-
cery lists or keep a journal. Help
your child find his/her own ways
to use writing as an important tool.
Be patient. Remember, learn-
ing to write takes time and plenty
of practice. Some types of
progress may take longer to notice.
Pay attention as your child's skills
develop over time. Whether small
or large. improvements will be
made.
Celebrate them!
