Branford resident Dena M. Lambert, 36,


dies in Saturday morning accident


By Shirley Hatch
Special to the Mayo Free Press
A 36-year-old Branford
woman was killed Saturday
morning in a crash north of
Branford on CR 129. Dena M.
Lambert, 36, was pronounced
dead at the scene of the two-
vehicle accident, according to


Florida Highway Patrol re-
ports.
Lambert was a passenger in
a 1999 Ford pickup traveling
north and driven by her hus-
band James A. Lambert, 35,
also of the Branford communi-
ty.
According FHP, a 1992 Toy-
ota four-door traveling west


on 220th Pass, driven by Doris
J. Pierce of O'Brien, turned
into the northbound lane of
US 129 and into the path of the
Lambert, vehicle. James Lam-
bert attempted evasive action,
steering left into the south-
bound lane of US 129 to avoid
the crash. At that point the
front of the Toyota collided


with the passenger side of the
pickup, causing it to rotate
sharply clockwise. The pickup
overturned and continued
rolling, according to FHP,
ejecting Dena Lambert.
James Lambert was airlifted
to Shands at UF trauma unit

No wonder the South-
east is referred to as the
Bible Belt. When I had
the privilege of pastor-

drove 30 miles to the
church from our home.
In the 30 miles we only
passed one other
church! In this area if
you go 30 miles you
pass 30 churches!
Now I am not com-
plaining about the num-
ber of churches but I
am concerned about the
conditions under which
many of them have been
established. It is one
thing when a church au-
thorizes a group of its
members to go off and
establish a new church.
It's a different situation
when a group of church
members get bitter, an-
gry, "spit and sputter,"
make life miserable for


the pastor etc. and
away from the main
body in a resentful,
hateful manner.

a larger portion at a
church supper.
Not long ago I shared
the Gospel with a
woman in a local fast
food establishment. She
was disenchanted with
"the church" as a child
because she remembered
a "church fight" which
led to a "church split."
She hasn't been back to
church since and I esti-
mate her age to be about
65. What a difference
could have been made in
this woman's life if the
members of her church
would have conducted
themselves in a Christian
(Christ-like) manner!
Don't ever put your-
self in a position of caus-
ing or working with oth-
ers to cause a church
split or to oust a pastor
unless you have a clear
Biblical mandate. It is a
serious thing to confront
the church, of God, or for
that matter, the man of
God.

How do you show
someone that you love
him or her? Chances are
pretty good that you just
celebrated Valentine's Day
with an expression of love
to someone who is special
to you. The National Re-
tail Federation estimates
that Americans spent ap-
proximately 17 billion dol-
lars last Thursday on the
Valentine holiday. Why
all the fuss? According to
Dr. Gary Chapman, love is
an emotional need, and
what we most need to
learn about love is how to
express it in a language
that the other person un-
derstands. In Chapman's
book "The Five Love Lan-
guages," he explains the
five basic languages of
love:
Words of Affirmation:
this can mean words of
sincere praise for results
and efforts as well as
words of affection that ex-
press positive thoughts to-
ward someone as a per-
son. "'You are such a great
friend," "Your eyes are
beautiful," or "I know that
didn't turn out like you
hoped, but I am proud of
how hard you tried."

Old Timers
The second "Old Timers
Picnic" is coming up the
last Saturday in February,
on the 23 arid will be held
again at the Mayo Com-
munity Center. If you were
around Lafayette County
back in the 30s, 40s 50s or
even before you are invited
to attend the second edi-
tion of this great experi-


Quality Time: giving a
portion of time and your
undivided attention is a
powerful communicator
of love to another person
because our lives are so
-busy. This doesn't mean
simply being in the .same
room at the same time, but
has everything to do with
togetherness, making sure
the other person feels like
they are the focus of your
attention.
Receiving Gifts: gifts
are visible evidence of
emotional love. Perhaps
this explains the billions
spent on Valentine's Day.
The Greek word from
which we get our English
word gift is "charis"
which means grace or un-
deserved, for no reason.
The beauty of gifts is that
they don't have to be fan-
cy or expensive to be valu-
able. A gift says "I care
about you" and "I think
you are important." That
is the real treasure.
Acts of Service: Loving
service is an internally
motivated desire to give
your energy for another.
Just doing something for
someone, especially some-
thing they want or need

Picnic set
ence.
Bring a covered dish and
enjoy a splendid meal at
around noon and be pre-
pared to spend some q'uali-
ty time with the other old
folks that will be there.
Drink accessories will be
furnished so no collection
will be taken. Bring pic-


accomplished is a power-
ful way to communicate
love. Like quality time, it
requires a portion, of our
life set aside and donated
for another, but acts of ser-
vice also allows them to be
free of a task or chore.
Physical Touch: There is
a reason why parents are
encouraged to hold and
cuddle their newborns,
touching is an emotionally
powerful way to commu-
nicate love. This is why
we love to give and re-
ceive hugs and why we
enjoy a shoulder massage
or -a good back scratch,
touch makes us feel loved
and accepted.
Although all of the five
love languages listed
above are enjoyable, every
person has one or two of
these that makes them feel
more loved than the oth-
ers, and by nature we
speak that language to
others. If we enjoy gifts,
we will probably buy gifts
for those we love. If we
want words of affirma-
tion, we will likely leave
love notes and be very en-
couraging verbally. The
problem comes when the
other person doesn't

speak our language. We
may be speaking gifts, but
they want some quality
time. Or they may be do-
ing acts of service for us
.while we long to hear
them say, "I love you." We
must learn to speak the
language of the other per-
son if we want them to feel
loved by us. We can usu-
ally determine our own
language by what we most
often do for another when
we want to show love to
them. We can determine
another person's language
by asking their preference
and watching what they
do for others. This princi-
ple can be applied in
friendships and parent-
child/teenager as well as
romantic relationships.
This is valuable informa-

which can be visited to take the heart
check up survey. Guidelines from the
American Heart and the American
Stroke Associations are also given listing


warning signs to be alert to when it
comes to possible attacks.
As part of a concerted effort to learn
about protecting your heart through
healthy eating, the hostess group had
prepared the evening meal from the
cookbook which will be distributed at
the upcoming Healthy Heart Seminar
sponsored by the health department on
February 21, at the Mayo Community
Center. These same delicious foods will
be prepared and served by the Woman's
Club that day. Also, several lucky ladies
were presented the special cookbooks
when their names were drawn by the
speaker.
Ms. Cashman challenged everyone
who has not already done so to begin
making small changes toward a healthi-
er lifestyle, whether it be in food con-
sumption or activity level increase. She
reminded the group of the national
health crisis at hand and urged them to
take better care of themselves, as well as
being more alert to health issues regard-
ing family and friends.

Social Security Commissioner:


Disability is our most



pressing challenge


7 "'..



i 'p
K ." '


By Guest Columnist
Michael J. Astrue
Commissioner of
Social Security

I know from personal
experience how difficult
Social Security's disability
process can be. When my
father was 52, he suffered
a severe cerebral hemor-
rhage caused by a rare
form of brain cancer. As I
took care of the applica-
tion for him, it opened my
eyes to the complicated
rules associated with our
disability programs.
Each year, approximate-
ly 2.5 million people ap-
ply for Social Security dis-
ability benefits. On aver-
age, one-third of them are
approved upon initial ap-
plication, which takes an
average of three months
for a decision. But for
those who are denied and
appeal the decision to the
hearing level, it can take a
long time to receive a de-
cision much too long, in
my opinion.
Right rnow, there are
more than 750,000 cases
waiting for a hearing and
the average time to get a
hearing decision is 499
days., Pending., .arings ,,
have doubled since 2001.
In addition, the number of
applications for disability
benefits has been extraor-
dinarily high throughout
the last seven years and
we can expect it to be even
higher in the coming


years.
Social Security's disabil-
ity programs have grown
significantly over the last
seven years and will con-
tinue to do so at an in-
creasing rate as aging
baby boomers reach their
most disability-prone
years. At the same time,
Congress has added new
and non-traditional work-
loads to Social Security's
responsibilities. As a re-
sult, the agency is strug-
gling to balance those new
responsibilities with its
core workloads under
tight resource constraints.
That's why I've made
improving the disability
determination process my
top priority. It is our most
pressing challenge.
Last year I appeared.be-
fore the Senate Finance
Committee to present an
aggressive plan to reduce
the backlog and improve
the disability process.
These new initiatives will
eliminate the hearings
backlog and prevent it
from recurring. Let me
give you just a few exam-
ples.
The first is the Quick
Disability Determination
(QDD), a process based on
a computer model that al-
lows us to screen cases
with a high potential for
approval. The QDD
process has proved highly
successful in the Boston
region, and the average
processing time now is
just 8 days. On September
5, 2007, the agency issued
a final rule extending
QDD nationwide. By the
end. of this month, every
state will be processing
QDD cases and about 5%
of all allowances will be
handled through QDD.
The second, Compas-
sionate Allowances, is a
way of quickly identify-
ing medical conditions

& Tales of Florida and Appalachia

Pj.


that invariably qualify un-
der our listings. In these
cases, which are often rare
diseases unfamiliar to re-
viewers, allowances will
be made as soon as the di-
agnosis is confirmed. In
December 2007, we held
the first public hearing on
this initiative and will
hold three more hearings
this year. You can learn
more about compassion-
ate allowances at HYPER-
LINK "http://www.so-
cialsecurity.gov / compas-
sionateallowances"
www.socialsecurity.gov /
compassionateallowances.
In addition, Social Secu-
rity has opened a National
Hearing Center (NHC).
The NHC allows the
agency to capitalize on
new technologies such as
electronic disability fold-
ers and video teleconfer-
encing and gives needed
flexibility to address the
country's worst backlogs.
We also are hiring 175 new
Administrative Law
Judges (ALJs), the largest
group of new ALJs ever
hired by Social Security in
a single year. We expect to
start bringing these ALJs
on board in the spring.
These are but a few of
the many initiatives the
agency has underway.
When it comes to elimi-
nating disability backlogs,
there is no single magic
bullet. But with additional
staff, enhanced business
processes, and improved
ways of fast-tracking tar-
geted cases, I believe we
can improve the disability
process and waiting times.

cial Security's plan to re-
duce the hearings backlog

The 20th annual Live!
At Dowling Park Artist Se-
ries at Advent Christian
Village (ACV) will host
tandem humorists /histori-
ans /storytellers, The Sto-
rytelling Sims, as they pre-
sent Legends & Tales of
Florida and Appalachia, on
Friday, February 29, at 7
p.m. at the Rumph Pavil-
ion at Camp Suwannee.
Light refreshments will be
served following the per-
formance. The Storytelling
Sims will give two "mini-
performances:" one on
Thursday February 28, at
3:00 p.m. at Dacier Manor
and another on Friday,
February 29, at 10:30 a.m.
at Good Samaritan Center.
In addition, they will host a
free workshop entitled
"Gifts of Story: Weaving A
Tale" on Thursday, Febru-
ary 28, at 10 a.m. at the
Harmony Center.
The Storytelling Sims,
a.k.a. Wayne and Jane
Sims, are a husband-and-
wife team of "Tandem Tale
Tellers" who have spent
over 12 years sharing their
unique'talent with school,
library, elderhostel, and re-
tirement community audi-
ences that they say they
like to "Turn on to story-
telling!"
Jane's interest in story-
telling was prompted by
her career as a gerontology
instructor who guided stu-
dents as they gathered oral
histories. Wayne's interest
evolved from his experi-
ence in radio broadcasting.
The couple worked with
the legendary storyteller
and folk hero, the late
Gamble Rogers, to put to-
gether a folk festival in St.
Augustine. They attribute
Mr. Rogers as being one of
their major inspirations
and also for bringing them
together.
The duo has co-pro-
duced historical story-
telling programs, some of
which have been under-


nity Concerts of Lake City,
Inc. NFCC requests that all
reciprocating parties
please call in advance to re-
serve their seats.

inches of rain, according
to the National Weather
Service in Jacksonville.
Locally the front brought
very little rain to help
Florida Department of
Forestry officials, as well
as others that have
worked in Mallory
Swamp since Friday, Feb.
8, to completely put out
the three fires.
"There was little activi-
ty on the fires yesterday.
Mop up activities are con-
tinuing and will for
weeks or even months.
We did not receive much
rain in the fire last night
and I have not heard of
any lightening issue,"
Ludie Ehler, spokesper-
son for the Florida De-
partment of Forestry, said
in an email interview on
Feb. 14.
Lafayette County Vol-


unteer Fire Department
Fire Chief Billy Robinson,
who has been one of
many individuals fight-
ing the fires since the be-
ginning, said he estimat-
ed the rainfall to be less
than an inch. "Anything
is better than nothing," he
said, smiling.
Other departments and
agencies that have assist-
ed each other, whether at
the scene or in the area,
are the Florida Division of
Forestry, the Forestry
Company, Mayo Volun-
teer Fire Department,
Hatch Bend Volunteer
Fire Department, Dixie
County Volunteer Fire
Department, Luraville
Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment, Foley Timber &
Land Company, SRWMD,
F & W Forestry Services,

iff's Office and Lafayette
County Emergency Ser-


vices.
An investigation of the
two additional fires, "Lost
Dog" and "Chapel," is
still being conducted by
the Florida Office of Agri-
culture of Law Enforce-
ment, according to Ehlers.
Officials suspect foul play
is involved and are not
ruling out that possibility
until their inquiry has
been completed.
In response to the cur-
rent situation at Mallory
Swamp, the Suwannee
River Water Management


District governing board
voted unanimously to
close access to the area in-
definitely.
"In the interest of public
safety, the District has or-
dered the swamp, and all
access roads into the
swamp, closed to the pub-
lic until further notice,"
Charlie Houder,
spokesperson for SR-
WMD, said in a press re-
lease dated Feb. 11.
The three fires com-
bined have burned close
to 1,600 acres.


Conservation

of water urged

sufficient amount of rain
to bring the water table
back to normal levels.
The severe drought we
have been experiencing
for many months is likely
to worsen this year, ac-
cording to Johnson.
"The rainfall deficit for
the past 24 months is
28.31 inches and the Na-
tional Weather Service
Climate Prediction Center
predicts that below-nor-
mal average rainfall
through May will prolong


and worsen the drought,"
Johnson said.
In order to conserve
water, SRWMD suggests
that you only water your
lawn twice a week, either
before 10 a.m. or after 4
p.m. While inside, turn
off the water while brush-
ing your teeth, shaving or
washing dishes.

Branford resident

Dena M. Lambert, 36, dies in

Saturday morning accident


Continued From Page 1A

with non-life threatening
injuries.
Doris J. Pierce sus-
tained minor injuries,
said FHP. Her passen-
gers, Krysten Pierce of
O'Brien and Kari Pierce
of Mayo, 16-year-old
twins, were unhurt, ac-
cording to reports.
According to FHP, nei-
ther of the Lamberts was
wearing a seat belt. Doris
Pierce was wearing a seat
belt, as was Krysten
Pierce. Alcohol was not a
factor, said FHP.
Dena Lambert leaves
behind her husband
James, and three children,
Justin 17, Sarah 14 and
Alexis 8, as well as nu-
merous other relatives.
Ernest (Chief) Lambert,
James Lambert's father,


said Monday morning
that James has been re-
leased from the hospital
with a lot of bumps and
bruises and possible neck
injuries.
The investigation into
the crash continues.
Charges are pending,
said FHP.
A nephew, Nick Lam-
bert, was following the
couple in another vehicle
at the time of the crash,
said his grandfather,
Ernest Lambert. The two
vehicles were headed to
Live Oak where Nick
planned to leave his vehi-
cle to be detailed.
The crash occurred
shortly before 9 a.m.,
about five miles north of
Branford.
Dena Lambert had cele-
brated her 36th birthday
on Feb. 5.


Tax rebates on the way.


Continued From Page 1A

businesses will spend the
money and help pull the
economy out of a slow,
but growing recession.
"The bill provides tem-
porary tax incentives for
businesses to make in-
vestments in their compa-
nies so that we create new
jobs this year. These re-
bates will amount to as
much as $600 for individ-
uals and $1,200 for mar-
ried couples, with addi-
tional rebates for families
with children," Bush said.

Cherry sparks Lady Hornets past top-ranked University

Just after his team defeated St. Joe
of Augustine to advance to the
semi-final round of the girls region-
al basketball tournament, Lafayette
coach Jimmy Blankenship stated
that his team had to be able to covert
their free throws if they are to defeat
a good team. Against top-ranked
Jacksonville University free throw
shooting was the name of the game
with the Lady Hornets pulling out a
thrilling 58-49 win. The victory sent
Lafayette to the regional finals.
In the fourth quarter the Lady
Hornets sank 11 of 15 attempts in
putting the game away. "Lately we
had been missing our free throws,"
said Coach Blankenship. "The girls
were focused. They knew Nat (Na-
talie Land) was out. They stepped to


the line. Claimed. They were knock-
ing them down and did a great job
shooting the free throws."
Land, the Lady Hornets leading
scorer, picked up her fifth foul with
6:07 left in the game. It was a quiet
gymnasium as she departed the
court to the bench. The question
was, "who would pick up the
slack?" That would be Sharhonda
Cherry, who sank four consecutive
free throws within the final 17 sec-
onds to preserve the win.
"She seemed a little lost in the first
half," said Blankenship of senior
guard. "We thought if she wasn't
going to get into the flow of the
game we were going have to sub
there. But she came out in the sec-
ond half and I don't know how
many three's she hit (Cherry hit two
very big three-pointers) but they


were big time when we needed
them. She did a great job for us. She
is a senior and she did not want to
go home."
Jacksonville came in ranked num-
ber one in Class 2A girls basketball
while the Lady Hornets held the
number three ranking in the state.
The win improved Lafayette's
record to 26-2 while Jacksonville
ended their season at 27-2.
After Land picked up her fifth
personal foul on a questionable
charging call, sophomore Sunshine
Reid and freshman Cartesha Mack-
lin shoulder the load along with
Cherry in securing the win. The
Hornets became very patient on of-
fense working the clock and taking
only shots inside the paint or the

Bell made it a 2-1 game with a sin-

Ride continues


for Lady Hornets


Reid pumps in 27 in

56-54 win over FA
by Ed Taylor
Sports Correspondent

Wow! What a ride it has been for coach Jimmy
Blankenship and his Lafayette Lady Hornets basket-
ball team in quest for a state championship. The ride
continued last Saturday when his Lady Hornets
knocked off twice state champions First Academy of
Orlando 56-54 in a thriller that kept the fans on the
edge of their seats.
The win was of a come-back variety as the Lady Hor-
nets got down early to the defending champions only
to ride the play of sophomore Sunshine Reid to victory.
Reid scored 27 points to lead her team to the state's Fi-
nal Four.
While Reid had the number of points it was another
Reid that gave the Lafayette team the victory. With the
score tied at 54-54 eighth-grader Rhoda Reid, off the
bench, nailed a 15-foot jumper with just three seconds
left in regulation to give the victory to Lafayette.
Coach Blankenship said it was a big shot for an
eighth-grader. "Imagine with all the scorers we have it
was an eighth-grader who hit the winning shot," he
said.
The win improved Lafayette to 27-2 on the season as
they head into the first semi-final game tonight (Thurs-
day) in Lakeland. The Lady Hornets will face St. John
Neuman, runner-up of District 12. Neuman (20-8) was
a 55-31 winner over Lakeland Christian earning a posi-
tion in the Final Four.

As expected, former Lafayette Hornet
quarterback Chad Hempstead signed a
letter-of-intent with North Greenville
University last week in front of former
players and Hornet coaching staff.
Hempstead will be competing for sig-
nal caller position at Greenville. He said
several things attracted him to the
school.
"It is a really nice school. The coach-
ing staff is great," said Hempstead. "I


like their head coach who also is their
quarterback coach. When I went for a
visit we sort of bonded together. He is a
real likable coach."
Hempstead said North Greenville
University will offer him the best op-
portunity to play and go to school.
Greenville finished 5-5 last season but
shows promise of being very competi-
tive. Coach Mike Taylor heads up
North Greenville's football program

Kelsey Land pulled down

With the rebound


Lafayette called a time out

"Kelsey is a tough play-

It was a packed Dorothy
Buchanan Hart Gymnasi-
um who witnessed two of
the top teams in the state
going after each other. Uni-
versity jumped out quick
in the first quarter led by
Jackie English. The Lady
Hornets caught them at 6-6
and the game was tied
again at 8-8. The last time
the game was tied was at
27-27 at half time. .
Lafayette, using pressure
defense, roared out to a 10-
point advantage, 27-17 on
basket by Reid with 2:40 to
play in the half. University
scored the next 10 points
when English drilled back-
to-back three-pointers to
tie the game with 17 sec-
onds to play. Lafayette
would build a 38-31 lead
with 2:46 left in the third
period and led 43-39 going
into the fourth quarter.
The Lady Hornets built a
50-42 lead with 3:31 to play
in the game but had to with
stand one last push by Uni-
versity. The Lady Hornet's
ball handling down the
stretch was outstanding as
Jacksonville could do noth-
ing but put shooters at the
charity stripe where
Lafayette six straight.
Cherry led the Lady
Hornets scoring with 16
points, all in the second
half. Macklin netted 14
points and Reid finished
with 12. Land, who drew
the blunt of University's
defense, tossed in seven
before fouling out. Kelsey
Land hit a three-pointer
for her -three points.
TaQuelia Macklin added
two points.
For Lafayette, Reid had
seven assists in the game
and hauled in 13 rebounds.
Land finished with five as-
sists and 11 rebounds (un-
official). She had five
steals. Macklin pulled
down seven boards for
Lafayette and came up
with four steals.
English led all scorer's
with 21 points for Jack-
sonville University. She
had four treys in the game.
Jasmine Wynne scored 12
points as the only two in
double figures.

success under his tenure.
"Coach Taylor is real
good. He is well respect-
ed up there. He started
the program, left for
awhile and then came
back," said Hempstead.
They are a very good
team and like to throw it
around a lot."
North Greenville plays
in a Christian Conference,
Division II.
Hempstead said he was
excited about his deci-
sion. "I am very excited. I
look forward to getting
up there and working
out," he said. "I want to
bond with the other play-
ers as well as seeing who I


have to work with."
The former Hornet
quarterback, who is play-

work out and throw the
football on his own over
the summer. "I will prob-
ably start throwing when
baseball is over," he said.
"I will work out to get
back in football shape."
Hempstead is a three
time All-Stater and holds
the school's passing
record at Lafayette. He
tossed for 25 touchdowns
in leading the Hornets to
a sparkling 11-2 record
this past season. He plans
to major in business at

sity.

animal.
The Suwannee Valley
Humane Society really
appreciates donations; it
couldn't operate without
them. Donations are the
heart and soul of its thrift
shop income. Please
consider taking them
donations of clothes,
household goods, furniture
and toys. All donations
should be in good condition;
otherwise, they cannot sell
them. Thank you!
THRIFT STORES:
You must come see our
thrift stores, if you have not
been here before. We have


three stores, a boutique,
clothing and furniture. We
are always looking for
donations for the stores.
Please keep us in mind if
you have items in good
condition you would like to
donate to us.
Volunteers are wanted and
needed four hours a week on
the day of your choice. Call
to learn more. People are
always needed to hold, pet,
love and walk the homeless
animals at the shelter, so if
you can't adopt you can
always come help in many
other ways.
RECYCLING BINS:
Live Oak: There is a
newspaper-recycling bin at
305 Pinewood Drive, Live
Oak, just west of Johnson's
Appliance/Radio Shack.
Lee: Recycling bins are
located at the shelter at 1156
SE Bisbee Loop, Madison
(just South of Lee) for
newspapers, catalogs, paper,
magazines and broken down
cardboard. All the money
goes to help the homeless
animals.
SPAYING AND
NEUTERING:
Experts say the most
important thing people can
do to help their pets is to get


them spayed or neutered.
This means the animals get
an operation, to be sure they
can't have kittens or
puppies. They are asleep
during the operation, so they
aren't scared or in pain.
Spaying and neutering are
so important because there
are so many animals
needing care and not enough
homes or shelters for them.
One cat or dog can-have
many litters in its life. Its
kittens or puppies can have
many litters, too. This can
end up creating thousands of
new cats and dogs.
Featured animals for
adoption:
Remember, do not leave
pets in vehicles for any
length of time due to the
heat and humidity or cold
weather.

Covered wagon train to travel Suwannee River route


Continued From Page 1C

ever in this part of the country," said wagon
master John Paul Schneider of Live Oak,
Florida.
It's been a life long dream of Schneider's
to make this trip. But, he had to wait until
Suwannee River Water Management District
(SRWMD) purchased enough land along the
Suwannee to allow the wagon trail access to
the greatest majority of its banks. The wagon
train will take the. river route when possible
but will have to travel on many public
highways some of the time.
"It's been kinda in my mind for the last 20
years," said Schneider, a retired feed store
owner, well known horse, wagon and mule
enthusiastic and veteran wagon master who
participated in The Last Cattle Drive in 1995
that traveled 60 miles through Central
Florida, winding its way across five major
ranches. "The late George Murrah and Billy
Summers and I would ride together and talk
about this for years that one of these days we
would get together and ride the long ride," he
said. As the years wore on, both Murrah and
Summers passed away without realizing their
part of the dream, but Schneider said he kept
dreaming for himself and his friends. "After I
retired, it was real strong in my mind...I told
Jerry Scarborough (SRWMD director) that as
soon as they had enough land along the river,
I wanted to do it." That day will arrive Feb.
25 when' the covered wagons, wagon
masters, horses and mules will assemble at
Griffis Fish Camp in the Okefenokee
Swamp, the headwaters of the Suwannee
River, and history will begin to unfold its
unique story about the dreams of three men
finally coming true after years of hoping and
more than a year of planning.
Schneider and his mule, Mary, will lead
the way with Schneider's one-mule wagon.
"We'll have a special event that day for the
opening ceremony, and then when we get
mounted up and everyone is ready to go,
we'll have a prayer and ask the Lord's safety
for the wagon train," Schneider said. "We'll
do that every morning and evening."
Although anyone can visit the wagon train
during the trip, those who can't will not have
to dream about it...they can see it on RFDTV
in the near future. The Best of America by
Horseback TV series with Tom Seay is


expected to be along for the ride, recording
every aspect of this richly historic event on
film for future generations and wagoneer
wannabes.
Best of America by Horseback
(info@bestofamericabyhorseback.com) and
the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park '
(musicliveshere.com) in Live Oak, Fla., and
RO Ranch Equestrian Park Inc.
(RMC@srwmd.org) in Mayo, Fla. are
sponsoring the wagon train. Each sponsor is
participating in various ways.
Why make such a grueling trip? "It's the
challenge of it, plus remembering what our
ancestors did and how much easier our job is
than our ancestors," Schneider said.
Participation in the wagon train is by
invitation only this year with no vacancies
left. Next year, however, may be another
story, Schneider said. If this first one is the
success he and others believe it will be,
anyone who would like to have this
experience could become a paying
participant for future rides. But, that's getting
the horse, or rather the mule, before the
wagon.
Evenings around the campfire for wagon
train participants will be a time to relax, rest
up from the hard days, eat a little grub
cooked over a permitted fire, listen to some
fiddling', mountain dulcimer by Betty
Schneider and Peggy Raulerson and perhaps
a few other instruments, the likes of which
probably would have been on early wagon
trains driven from South Carolina into the
South Georgia and North Florida areas in the
early 1800s as these areas began to be settled.
During the ride, Peggy Raulerson will be
completing a song about the wagon train she
started writing a while back. Participants will
Sbe asked along the way to help complete a
verse or two to have the song wrapped up by
the end of the trip.
The wagon train will travel about 18-20
miles per day, breaking camp early and
hitting the road by around 9 a.m. each day.
"We can average about 3.5 miles an hour,
hopefully," Schneider suggests. "We will be
as close to the river as we can be and will
camp on the river every night," he said.
"The people have welcomed us into the
caypgrounds like Stephen Foster Folk
Culture Center State Park in White Springs,
Florida; Hamilton County has really been


nice, plus the law enforcement officers in all
the counties where we need to cross bridges
have been very nice," Schneider stated. He
said the wagon train must pass through five
Florida Agriculture Inspection Stations along
the way and have all health permits needed
for the animals.
The wagon train will stop at Stephen
Foster State Park and Twin Rivers in
Hamilton County, move into Suwannee
County, spend a weekend at the Spirit of the
Suwannee Music Park where Schneider said
he's sure some of the wagon train people will
be part of the pickin' and grinning' that goes
on there. At this stop, the wagons will be on
display for several days. Then it's into
Madison County at Ellaville, a night at the
farm of Lyndon Fortner in Suwannee County,
another night at historic Charles Springs in
Suwannee County, then on to the RO Ranch
in Lafayette County where there will be
special festivities before various other stops
along the way to Suwannee, where a
celebration honoring the completion of the
trip will be held.
During the RO Ranch stopover, there will
be a dedication on March 8 of the new
buildings at that facility off SR 51 in Cook's
Hammock. The public is invited to attend
this event.
The public will be invited to stop by
wherever the wagon train spends nights and
weekends, ask questions, take a look around
and be a part of this history-making trek. ,
Schneider's longtime friend and ride
devotee, Bob Raulerson, also of Suwannee
County, will be along on this ride as he has
for the past 10 years. A retired state game and
wildlife officer, Raulerson is living the good
life these days, enjoying his dreams also. "I
was always just as busy as could be being a
possum' cop, so I never did this before I
moved here," he said quietly. Now, he and
his wife, Peggy, go along with Schneider on
many rides with their Missouri Fox Trotter
Walking Horses. "There hasn't been a ride
like this since at least the early 1800s,"
Raulerson said, noting he can find no record


of any ride of this nature along the Suwannee
River. "We know people who were here in
the 1900s, and they don't know of anyone
who did it." Raulerson said.
"What will be unique about all this is that
other than nobody else having done it, it will
show our love for our animals and the nature
part of it...the wildlife...and we will be out
there in their territory," Schneider noted.
"We will be out there among them...we do
that all the time," he said. "It's a family-
oriented thing, our children and
grandchildren have grown up riding mules,
horses and wagons with us. Hopefully, my
15-year-old grandson Jake Jerkins will be
right there beside me, riding on a horse,"
Schneider said of the trip.
Schneider, Raulerson and others who will
be taking this dream trip have been getting
their mules ready since early January. "We
have worked all of January and most of
February to get them in shape," Schneider
advised. The wagoneers have been "testing
the waters" during this time as they have
driven most of the proposed route in .
preparation for the big day. "Bob and I have
been out on about every foot of it so far,"
Schneider said as Raulerson nodded in
agreement.
When asked about the cost of such a trip,
Schneider and Raulerson both prefer not to
be accountable. "This is our hobby, we don't
put a price tag on the hobby," Schneider said.
"It's unbelievable the amount of
expense...$50,000 for a truck plus $50,000
for a trailer...it's a labor of love more than
anything else," Raulerson said.
Schneider said the cost would skyrocket if
their time was figured into it. But, they're not
about to put a price tag on dreams, and
besides, Schneider points out, there are more
than 72,000 people in Florida involved in the
equestrian business so you could figure the
wagon train as an economic bdoster.
Wagons, Ho!

train, contact the Spirit of the Suwannee

Green Tea Has Beneficial Uses in the Home


Nutritionists have long touted the health benefits of green tea.
It's power-packed with antioxidants, making it a disease fighter
and generally healthy brew to enjoy.
But the benefits of green tea do not need to end at tea time.
Green tea leaves can be recycled for many other purposes around
the home and garden. The "green" in green tea can take on a new
connotation when this environmentally friendly product is used in
new ways.
The same antioxidant ingredients in green tea are also known
for their odor-absorbing abilities. Tea is loaded with catechins -
the antioxidant substances. The catechins have antibacterial
properties that make tea leaves great for fighting odor. Usually
the tea leaves need to be dried before use as a deodorizer. To do
so, simply put the wet tea leaves into a strainer and spread out.
Press the leaves to remove as much moisture as possible. Then
allow to air dry, turning the leaves over several times in the
process.
Pet Beds/Litter Boxes: Sprinkle dried tea leaves onto a pet bed,
blanket or pillow. The leaves will help dissipate any foul pet
odors. The same technique can be applied with litter boxes. The
tea leaves help remove odor and can repel fleas from dogs and
cats.
Carpeting: Skip the chemical carpet deodorizer and use dried tea
leaves instead. Sprinkle over the carpet, let sit 10 to 15 minutes
and then vacuum.
Refrigerator/Kitchen: Put used wet tea leaves or bags in a bowl
in the refrigerator to help absorb odors from strong-smelling
foods. Wet tea leaves can also be used to rid hands of the smell of


a.
-a *~


A healthy beverage, tea also serves other purposes around the home.


garlic or onions after preparation.
Garden: Sprinkle the tea leaves into the garden as a form of
mulch and nutrition to plants.
Cleaning: In some Eastern cultures, a solution of tea is used to
disinfect and cleanse things like yoga and sleeping mats. Use tea
for deodorizing and cleaning where applicable. Just note that wet
