he recre-
ation cen-
ter at
Day has
been de-
teriorating for a num-
ber of years until last
year. In August, con-
struction began at the
center in order to re-
store and upgrade the
facilities.
According to Charles
Driver, First District
Commissioner who rep-
resents the small, but
growing town of Day,
the project is funded by
a $200,000 Department
of Environmental Pro-


tection grant. During a
telephone interview,
Driver stated the project
was part of his cam-
paign promise to ensure
the children and fami-
lies of the community of
Day have a safe place of
recreation.
Harlie Lynch Con-
struction of Mayo is in
charge of the construc-
tion. At this time, reno-
vation of the basketball
and tennis courts is al-
most complete, a play-
ground with swing sets
has been added, a 1/2
mile paved walking
track circles the entire
area, and a chain link
fence surrounds the
basketball/tennis courts
as well as the play-


ground. Construction
plans also include a
baseball/softball field
and restrooms.
Completion of the
Day recreation center
will not be completed
for awhile. Driver said
he expects it should be
ready for the public to
use in a few weeks.

PAGE 2A THE MAYO FREE PRESS, Mayo, FL THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 2008


Bless you, in the south you can pretty much count on
hearing that if you happen to sneeze in public. We
bless lots of things down here: our food at mealtime,
we have wall hangings to bless our homes, you can
even criticize someone if you properly bless him or her
first: "She is having a bad hair day...bless her heart!"
Why, I have even heard of someone confronting anoth-
er and calling it "blessing them out!" Makes you won-
der how "blessed" they felt after that was over, where
does all this come from?
A legend holds that in the Middle Ages it was be-
lieved that a person's heart stops when they sneeze,
and the phrase "bless you" is meant to ensure the return
of life or to encourage their heart to continue beating.
Webster's dictionary defines the word bless as to "in-
voke divine care for: to wish prosperity or happiness
upon." I guess it would be considered prosperous for
your heart to keep beating, probably make you pretty
happy too!
The Bible has a lot to say about being blessed. In fact
the Hebrew word for blessed in the Old Testament ac-
tually means "happy." Since happiness is something we
all spend our lives looking for, it would be worth our
effort to hear what the Bible says makes us blessed.
Psalm 1:1-2 says this:
"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel
of the ungodly or stand in the way of sinners or sit in


the seat of mockers. But his delight is in
the law of the Lord and on His law he
meditates day and night."
These verses begin by telling us what
not to do in order to be happy: first of
all, we are not to walk in the counsel of
the ungodly. A person who does not
fear or respect God is considered un-
godly, and we are instructed to be care-
ful not to take advice nor be influenced
by those who make their life choices looking out for
number one.
Standing in the way of sinners refers to placing your-
self among those who know they are doing wrong and
have every intention of continuing what they are doing.
If we stay in their company very long, we risk losing
our perspective that what they are doing is wrong and.
find ourselves joining in. This is a short step away from
"sitting in the seat of mockers." We get comfortable .id
move right in with them, no longer just following their
lead, but now encouraging others to follow ours. The
thing is that I believe no one sitting in the mocker's seat
made it their goal to end up there. I mean really that's
just not our ambition in life, to go the wrong direction
and tai others with us. So how do we get there? We
arrive by not having a standard to live by, a standard to
base our life decisions on and we get pushed and pulled
in every direction.
God gives us the answer to this in the second part of
this verse, to find our delight in His Word. Hear it, read

it and ponder it until we know how to make right deci-
sions. Having a standard to live by makes the way
clearer and the decisions easier. This brings relief,
peace, and happiness. Makes us blessed. Like our
hearts continuing to beat after a sneeze....after all they
really do matter!

Tallahassee Boys' Choir to rock

the house Jan. 19 at NFCC


The world famous Talla-
hassee Boys' Choir will per-
form at North Florida Com-
munity College in Madison
Saturday, Jan. 19. There's
still time to get tickets to en-
joy this fabulous 6 p.m.
event you'll never forget. It
will have you on your feet
cheering on these wonder-
ful young men as you enjoy
their remarkable perfor-
mance.
The choir has traveled all
over the United States and
the world performing at
churches, convention halls,
nursing homes, juvenile
correctional facilities,
group homes and in great
halls. From Kennedy Cen-
ter's Millennium Stage to
St. Peter's Basilica, these
young men have per-
formed music from jazz to
gospel and are sure to have
you on your feet, clapping
to their wonderful sound.
The young men repre-
sented Florida when they
went to Italy and spent 10
days performing in Rome,
Florence, Venice and Mi-
lan. But of all its perfor-
mances, the choir is most
proud of its participation in
the International Music
Festival. Competing recent-
ly in the Bahamas against
165 ensembles from around
the world, the choir re-
ceived the First Place Gold
Medal for the Men's Choir,
First Place Gold Medal for
the Choral Division, First
Place Gold Medal Overall
Ensemble and the Grand
Sweepstakes Award recog-
nizing the ensemble for the
highest score.
Money raised through
this event will go to fund
the Madison County Chap-
ter of Charmettes NFCC
scholarship fund. The
event is co-sponsored by


NFCC.
The choir was founded in
1995 for boys ages 8 to 18
who live in neighborhoods
with limited social and eco-
nomic opportunities. The
program's goal is to foster
academic excellence, build
character and self-esteem,
develop interpersonal skills
and acquire skills for every
choir member for the fu-
ture.
The choir's motto, "No
Excuses," sets the pace for
its young men. The pro-
gram also provides a father
figure, counseling and in
many cases, provides what
many young men in Amer-
ica need today a motiva-
tion to do good and devel-
op self-esteem. For more in-
formation on the choir, go
to www.boyschoirtlh.org.
Tickets are $15 and avail-
able through the
Charmettes (850-973-4857
or 850-673-1445), the NFCC
Foundation (850-973-9423)
or at the door the night of
the event.

Reid leads JV girls


by Ed Taylor
Sports Correspondent


Rhoda Reid tossed in a game high 18
points to lead the Lafayette junior var-
sity girls basketball team to a 41-31 win
over a good Bell Lady Bulldog junior
varsity team. Reid, missed the starting
lineup after arriving late for the 3:30
game. However, she entered the game
almost immediately upon her arrival
and her presence was the difference in
the game. Lakentrice Smith added 11
points for the winning Lady Hornets.
Bell jumped out to a 6-0 lead as
Lafayette coach Jerry Hill had to use his
bench to start the game with both
Smith and Reid absent. Bell held a 8-5
.advantage at the first stop. A basket by
Danielle Templin, off a Reid assist,
made it a one point game but Reid
came up with a steal and scored easily
to give the Lady Hornets their first lead
of the game 9-8. Lafayette managed to
lead 20-17 at the half.


Bell would not go away and stayed
close to the Lady Hornets trailing 24-23
with under two minutes to play in the
third period. Consecutive baskets by
Reid gave the Lady Hornets a 28-23
lead after three quarters.
Bell opened the final stanza with two
quick baskets off Lafayette turnovers to
narrow the margin to 28-27 to start the
fourth period. But Lafayette ran off 11
unanswered points to assume a 39-27
lead and put the game away. Reid had
seven of the 11 points and completed
an old-fashion three-point play, her
second of the game. Smith and Eliza-
beth Anderson scored important bas-
kets in the stretch.
Anderson, who played a strong of-
fensive game, finished with 11 points
and had four assists in the game. Smith
netted six points. Templin scored two
as did Delica Smith and Chalsey Kelly.
Moore led Bell with 10 points with Bai-
ley tossing in eight. Wooten finished
with six.

Sports Correspondent
It was "The Eric
McIntyre Show" last
Friday night in
Lafayette gymnasium
where the Hornets en-
tertained visiting Bell to
the tune of a 74-52 dis-
trict win. The victory
improved the Hornets
to 9-7 overall but more
importantly gave them
a 7-2 district record.
Coach Daryl Fletcher
saw his team executed
well on offense and it
showed in the final
game stats. Four play-
ers scored in double
figures for the Hornets
led by McIntryre's 24
points that included
five three-point baskets.
Jonathan Sellers added
17 followed by 10
points apiece from
Jonathan Edwards and
Antwan Brown. Kevin
Waters played a strong
game on the boards as


well as defense and just
missed double digits
with nine points. Joey
Watson finished with
four.
It was a total team ef-
fort for the'Hornets in
picking their ninth win
of the season. They
never trailed in the
game with the game
tied once at 2-2. McIn-
tyre's first three-point
basket gave the lead to
the Hornets for good
early in the first quar-
ter. Good offensive exe-
cution by the Hornets
kept the Bulldogs de-
fense a step behind. "I
thought we came out
slow in the first quar-
ter," said Fletcher. "I
just told them we need-
ed to pick it up a little
bit and they did."
The Hornets respond-
ed to their coaches' in-
struction and vaulted
out to a 37-14 half time
,lead. "When we play


team basketball we are
hard to beat," said the
first year coach. "We
kept working hard on
defense. We made
some adjustments with
our press. That allowed
us to slow Bell down a
little bit. We just stayed
with our game plan."
Bell trailed by as
many as 30 points in
the game and the clos-
est they could get to the
Hornets was 18 points
and that came in the
fourth quarter, 66-48.
McIntyre hit his fifth
trey and converted a
free throw while Sellers
and Watson followed
with baskets to extend
the lead back to 26
points.
The trio of Sellers,
McIntyre, and Edwards
complimented each
other on offense. "They
really do," said Fletcher.

Too much Land


for Florida


by Ed Taylor
Sports Correspondent
Coach Jimmy Blanken-
ship and his Lady Hornets
of Lafayette High made
the sports highlight reel
last week when they jour-
neyed to Tallahassee to
face two-time defending
state champion Florida
High in girls basketball.
The result in the ride to
the Capitol City was a 67-
38 win for the third-
ranked Lady Hornets.
There was just a little
too much "Land" for the
host school and not a lot of
coverage. Senior Natalie


Land pumped in 25
points in the victory that
improved Lafayette to
15-2 on the season. But it
was her work on the
boards that brought all
the rage. Land pulled in
a career high 24 re-
bounds to go with the 25
points.
"Natlie really stepped
up her game for us," said


High
Coach Blankenship. "She
had been in a shooting
slump of late and not
scoring like she has in
the past. But if you are
not doing one thing try
and make it up by doing
another. She has really
been hitting the boards
lately."

Lady Hornets


roll past Bell


by Ed Taylor
Sports Correspondent
The fans in attendance
at the Bell versus
Lafayette girls basketball
game were expecting to
see the girls team hit the
century mark in scoring
last Friday night against
the Lady Bulldogs of Bell.
However, that was not in
the plans of one Jimmy
Blankenship, coach of the
Lady Hornets. When the


scoreboard sounded for
the final time that night it
read Lafayette 90, Bell 18.
Lafayette had scored
71 points in the first half
and surely 29 points
more would not be a
problem in the second
half. However, that was
not to be the case as
Coach Blankenship did-
not want to show up the

Too much Land for Florida High


Continued From Page 7A

The Lady Hornets
jumped out to a 20-10 first
quarter lead and extended
that margin to 18 points,
28-10, early in the first pe-
riod. The host school
made a late second period
run to narrow the lead but
a late spurt by Lafayette
extended the lead to 17
points at the half, 33-17.
"They hit about seven in a
row on us and got back in


the game," said the Lady
Hornet mentor. "We got
kind of sloppy with the
ball and let them back in
it. We scored the final five
points of the half and that
gave us a little more
breathing room."
Lafayette struck quickly
in the third period in
opening up a 25 point ad-
vantage. But Florida High
was not ready to wave
any white flag and rallied
one last time only to see


the Lady Hornets pull
away for the 29 point vic-
tory.
"It was a big win for us.
It was a good win for us,"
said Coach Blankenship.
"Anytime you come to
Tallahassee and win it is
always a good win. Our
girls played very well. We
ran our break well. It was
just a good break for us
coming off the holiday
break."

ning continuously in the second half,
Blankenship put his starters to the
bench and let his bench finish off the
game.
"I didn't tell them to not go out and
score," said Blankenship. The class
act by both the coaching staff and
players was appreciated by the visit-
ing fans.
Carthesia Macklin had an out-

the boards. She finished as the

Hoggetowne Medieval Faire



returns to Gainesville


The Alachua County Fairgrounds
will come alive when the sounds of
trumpets, minstrels and revelry return
to Gainesville as part of one of North
Central Florida's premier events. The
22nd Annual Hoggetowne Medieval
Faire once again brings magic and
merriment to Florida. Join hundreds
of actors, artisans and volunteers for
two weekends of excitement, Jan. 26-
27 and Feb. 1-3
Join the crowd and cheer for your
favorite contender as mounted
knights joust in full plate armor on
the tournament field. Applaud street
performers who dance,
juggle and jest for your
amusement. Listen to
minstrels playing period
music and enjoy
continuous live
entertainment on eight
stages. The bustling
S medieval marketplace is
the perfect place to browse
for that perfect gift or
trinket.
Enjoy your day watching
a living chess game played
out with human chess
pieces as Robin Hood and
his Merry Men battle
against the evil Sheriff of
Nottingham, or test your
own skills in games of
chance, and strength.
Watch and learn as artisans
demonstrate blacksmithing,
weaving, leatherworking,
woodcarving, pottery and
much more. Our food court
provides visitors with
mouth-watering treats fit
for a king. Indulge in
sweet potato fries,
bloomin' onions or our
famous giant turkey legs,
as well as a variety of


pastries and desserts.
The Faire is the perfect place to
bring even the youngest members of
the kingdom. Children delight in
visiting the royal pavilion, where
they will become lords and ladies of
the court of Hoggetowne. Treat not
only your children, but also yourself
with rides on a camel, pony or even
an elephant. Human-powered push
rides further add to the authentic
medieval fun.
Faire hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Learning about Arthritis


As most middle-aged men and women would attest, an
aging body is one that experiences more than a few
changes. Among the more common changes is a decrease
.in vision or hearing and a reduction in how much exercise
the body can take. While everyone's body is different, it's
safe to say both men and women can expect a change or
two in their body's makeup as they get older.

One of the most common chronic health problems
among Americans is arthritis, which affects 46 million
adults in the United States alone. While most people are
aware of the word "arthritis," they might not be aware of
the specifics surrounding these conditions.

What is Arthritis?

Unbeknownst to many people, arthritis is not actually a
single disease. In fact, arthritis refers to more than 100
medical conditions. And though arthritis is commonly
associated with senior citizens, it is not restricted to the
older set. While the most common form of arthritis
generally afflicts those over the age of 60, young adults,
the middle-aged and even infants are not immune to
arthritis.

So why is arthritis such a blanket term? All types of
arthritis share one commonality, which is they affect the
musculoskeletal system, in particular the body's joints.
Arthritic conditions can result in pain, stiffness and
inflammation of the joints and can cause damage to a
joint's cartilage as well. Damaged cartilage can make
seffinhgly ordinary tasks such as brushing your teeth,
walking or even using your computer's keyboard very
difficult.

While joint problems are the piece that links all types of
arthritis, the damage done by arthritis can extend beyond
the joints as well. Systemic arthritis can affect the body's
major organs, such as the heart, lungs and kidneys, among
other things.

Who Gets Arthritis?

According to the Arthritis Foundation, more than half
those affected with arthritis are under the age of 65. Those
numbers include the nearly 300,000 children who suffer
from an arthritic condition.

As for men and women, women are more likely to be
stricken with arthritis. Of the more than 41 million cases
of doctor diagnosed arthritis, roughly 24 million are
women.


Arthritis can make something as simple as typing on
your keyboard a painful and laborious process.

What Are the Types of Arthritis?

Though there are more than 100 medical conditions
classified under the umbrella term arthritis, the following
types are a few that qualify.

SRheumatoid arthritis: This affects mostly women and is
one of the most disabling forms of arthritis. It's serious
because, as the joint becomes inflamed, it has an adverse
affect on the body's immune system.

SJuvenile arthritis: Like the term "arthritis," juvenile
arthritis is a general term and refers to a handful of arthritic
conditions affecting children.

Fibromyalgia: This can be very painful, affecting the
muscles and attachments to the bone. Rare in men,
fibromyalgia mainly affects women.

SGout: Unlike fibromyalgia, gout affects mostly men and
is often the result of a defect in body chemistry, one that can
be brought on by poor diet. Fortunately, gout, which often
attacks the big toe, can typically be controlled by both
medications and by making positive changes in diet.

SOsteoarthritis: This occurs as bone cartilage begins to
deteriorate. As the cartilage at the ends of bones
deteriorates; bone begins to rub against bone, making
osteoarthritis one of the more painful and difficult to live
with forms of arthritis. The most prevalent form of arthritis,
osteoarthritis greatly limits a person's movements as the
cartilage continues to deteriorate.

To learn more about arthritis and its many forms, visit the
Arthritis Foundation Web site at www.arthritis.org.
