Keynote speaker for the event was Pat Cockrell, executive director of the Florida Farm Bureau in Gainesville. Cockrell spoke on the importance of the relationship between the urban sector of our Mayor Emily Ketring and County Commissioner Daryll Gunter are shown recently signing a proclamation for Farm City Week, while Taylor County Farm Bureau President Auley Rowell (back) looks on. society and those who live and work on farms and ranches. "We live in a nation which has never had a food shortage and most other nations cannot say that," said Cockrell. "American farmers do a great job of providing sufficient food for our nation and they do it at a fair price," she added. Farm City Week is celebrated each year on a nation-wide basis during the week just prior to Thanksgiving. In fact, Kiwanis Clubs International originally began Farm City Week and the agricultural community will forever be indebted to Kiwanis Clubs for this, added Cockrell. To officially recognize the week, Perry Mayor Emily Ketring and County Commissioner Daryll Gunter signed an official proclamation. This is a'tradition which is done each year by local government officials. Local Farm Bureau President Auley Rowell, said Farm City is "just a great opportunity to show appreciation to the farm folks and the city folks as well. Each segment is totally dependent on each other. "The Taylor County Farm- Bureau is indeed proud to be involved with Farm City Week," he added. "We're also proud that Taylor County Extension Services are available to assist with any project or program we try to sponsor." :The Taylor County High School academic team traveled to Gainesville recently to compete in, the University of Florida.

Comfort and joy The Women's Ministry of Evangel Christian Fellowship recently collected more than 300 stuffed animals to present, to EMT services for use with injured children. "These animals are readily available to the staff and can be presented to the sick and injured children who are assisted by Emergency Medical Services in Taylor, Lafayette, Dixie and Leon counties," said a spokesperson for the group. "This allows the members of the EMS team to give the child an item that can bring comfort in a time of need." Pictured during the Nov. 12 presentation are Michael Lundy, Debra Glombowski, Nathan Hendry, C.J. Hendry, Jack Gaines, Clyton Steffner and Chad: Bush.

We cannot thank these church members enough for the stuffed animals. During an emergency, we utilize them for sick or injured children. The stuffed toys make a From the office of Rep. Will Kendrick Discussions on the floor of the House of Representatives during Special Session clearly demonstrated the division among legislators on the viability of the Medicaid reform. Democrats and Republicans alike lined up to get their opinions and beliefs on record. Amendment after amendment was offered by Democrats and Republicans to enact Accountability and to keep approval of expansion within the confines of the full legislature. Many Republicans broke the traditional party-line votes and followed suit in support of efforts to maintain control of a giant ready- tremendous difference in that the' child has- something else to associate with while we are treating their illness and!or injury. Thank you for the difference you help make and the smiles thar animals bring to an already sad situation. The following agencies benefitted from this toy drive: to swoop down and sever the cords of managed healthcare for the state's most vulnerable and poorest citizens, including the disabled and foster children. Rep. Will Kendrick (D) filed five amendments to the Medicaid Reform Bill in a valiant attempt to place controls that would protect rural counties from the loss of medical care that is already a challenge in the sparsely populated counties that he represents. In a firm and unyielding tone. Rep. Kendrick explained each amendment and asked legislators to carefully consider the consequences of allowing a state agency to have complete control of future decisions in regards to Medicaid eligibility and benefits.

Set to expire next year. the bill includes a one-year fix of the SAlternative Minimum Tax (AMT) to prevent tax increases on more than 17 million middle-class .families next year. 1 "This legislation provides much- needed tax relief to middle-class families who are working hard to make ends meet," said Congressman Boyd. "Due to inflation, the number of taxpayers That fall into the AMT group is growing each year, and failure to enact this legislation and extend the exemption levels would increase taxes'on millions of middle-class families This is simply unfair and not the purpose of the AMT." The AMT was created in 1969 to ensure that high-income individuals and corporations who pay little to no taxes under the regular system because of deductions, credits or other provisions are taxed more fairly. Unlike the--regular tax, income levels subject to the AMT are not indexed for inflation. Therefore, if Congress does not adjust the exemption levels for inflation, a greater number of people would Ntecome eligible each year as ificomes grow and exceed these levels.

"It is my hope that Congress will get senous about budget reform in the upcoming year and work to enact comprehensive legislation so we can fix the problem permanently instead of continuing this Temporary band-aid strategy."

The vote drew yeas and nays that resounded close in unison further exemplifying the careful discernment by individual legislators. Although' unsuccessful in having any of his filed amendments adopted, Kendrick never relinquished his endeavors. Kendrick concluded during final debate on HB 3B Medicaid Reform by stating, "It is absolutely embarrassing that today you in this chamber have allowed persons who are on death row for committing capital offenses to receive better access to health care than the people in small rural counties, who are the backbone of this state,, and- the most vulnerable, disabled, and at risk, including numerous foster children. "We all should be ashamed of the disaster that we are setting up. There is no reason for the legislature to give up our authority, to oversee to a state agency," he said. Kendrick then continued by referring to the current set up of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission where 'the Legislature really has very little authority other than through the budget process. After the House sent the bill to the Senate for approval, the Senate made amendments to the House version of the Medicaid reform keeping the reform package as a pilot project in Broward and Duval counties with any expansion requiring legislative oversight and approval. Kendrick explained, "Although the bill is better than what the House had passed earlier, it still is not in the best interest of the citizens of this state to ever propose changes without all the answers." There is still' very little protection for Florida's most vulnerable in the bill that passed the House 87 to 31. "With ,the guarantee of a new administration coming into the Governor's office, I feel that it makes less sense to put Medicaid recipients at any further risk," concluded Kendrick. a- tI Yes, Virginia, there 19 a 9anta Claus, and YES, YOU CAN 9TILL FILE y BANKRUPTCY!!!
