Former LES Principal
Marion McCray was
presented with a spe-
cial honor on Jan. 25 for
her many years of ser-
vice at LES. Mrs. Mc-
Cray worked at the ele-
mentary school as a
teacher and principal
from 1990-2009, and
was the district RTI co-
ordinator for the first
half of the 2009-2010
school year.
She was principal at
LES for over 12 years,
and achieved excellent
results during that time
with FCAT scores,
school grades, and
overall student perfor-
mance. Mrs. McCray
was a pioneer in the use
of data analysis and
progress monitoring
testing to assess where
students really are, in
the classroom. She
helped a whole genera-
tion of teachers and
staff learn how to break
down data and learn
what students needed.

THE ANNUAL OLD
(If you knew members of our first
football team, you're an old timer..)
Here is another excerpt from AS WE
REMEMBER, a book by the LHS 1943
graduating class, which is this year's
door prize. Carl Trawick wrote:
"What was Mayo like on Saturday?
Well, it was a day that we all looked
forward to. For one thing, we had free
movies out doors on Saturday night.
There was a large screen installed on
the vacant lot across from the court-
house, and also two blocks west, on
another vacant lot was another screen.
A man from Branford would come
every Saturday night and show
movies of the old west, Tarzan and
many others. This was sponsored by
the merchants to bring people to town
to shop and it worked very well.

Heart Matters


A part of our heritage
in Florida is the hunting
of arrowheads, and one
thing that even novice
arrowhead hunters have
in common is the recog-
nition of intentional, in-
telligent design. In fact,
no one would ever pick
up an arrowhead and as-
sume that the forces of
nature accidentally
shaped a rock into a pur-
poseful design. It would
be obvious that an Indian
ancestor intentionally
shaped and formed the
arrowhead for a specific
function, and even
though we were not pre-
sent for it's creation, we
would recognize that it
was created. Yet, those
who proclaim Darwin's
theory of evolution do no
less than see the evi-
dence of intelligent de-
sign around us and con-
clude that it just
"evolved" from nothing.
In his book The Origin
of Species written in
1859, Darwin himself ad-
mitted that the fossil
record of his time gave
insignificant proof to
support his theory, and
hoped that future find-
ings would increase the
evidence. Nearly 150
years later, the fossil
record has overwhelm-
ingly increased and yet
there is still no evidence
of evolution from species
to species. If Darwin's
theory were true, where


is this vast body of evi-
dence that should exist?
Darwin also stated, "If it
could be demonstrated
that any complex organ
exists which could not
have been formed by nu-
merous, successive,
slight modifications,
then my theory would
absolutely break down."
In the past 50 years, the
field of molecular biolo-
gy has exploded with in-
formation about the
complexity of DNA and
living cells, information
that Darwin did not
have. It has been proven
that a cell is irreduciblyy
complex." In other
words, every component
is necessary for the cell to
function normally, and
that it could not possibly
be the result of a series of
successive, slight modifi-
cations. Any modifica-
tion would render the
cell insufficient, ab-
solutely breaking down
Darwin's theory, by his
own criteria.
To say that the ac-
count of creation in Gen-
esis is not supported by
fact is simply not true.
The evidence of intelli-
gent design is all around
us: the rising and setting
of the sun, the phases of
the moon and the sea-
sons of the year. How in-
deed did these precisely
organized rotations just
happen? According to
Psalm 19:1,

"Sustainable Cambodia Project"

introduced at Rotary


"The heavens declare
the glory of God, the
skies proclaim the work
of his hands. Day after
day they pour forth
speech; night after night
they display knowl-
edge."
It is obvious that a Cre-
ator placed the stars in
the sky, as well as de-
signed the human body,
all with a specific pur-
pose in mind. It takes
much more faith to be-
lieve that this is all the re-
sult of years of random
modifications than the
intelligent design of a
Creator. When there is
an attempt to explain cre-
ation without the need
for a Creator, is not the
motive to diminish faith
in the Creator? Is it not
also an effort to diminish
the value of human life,
by teaching that it is a
random result? Our
country deceives our
young people when Dar-
win's theory is presented
as fact and they are asked
to deny what is obvious.
As Americans, our her-
itage is a country estab-
lished on our faith in
God, and the freedom to
worship Him. In fact,
our founding fathers
used the Bible as a read-
ing textbook to educate
their children, this means
that the earliest genera-
tion of American's first
reading assignment was
Genesis 1:1 "In the be-
ginning, God created the
heavens and the earth."
Nothing like settling first
things first, how well we
would do to remember!
Because Every Heart
Matters, Angie


Linda Smith

Starting at a local lev-
el, then moving on to an
International level, Ro-
tary Clubs are making a
difference. Director of
MICROGRAPHICS, Jim
Craig, spoke to Rotari-
ans about the "Sustain-
able Cambodia Project."
Craig is a member of Ro-
tary Club #6970 located
in Gainesville, Florida,
and this project, found-
ed by one of his club's
members, is one that he
and his 330 club mem-
bers are involved in. As
Craig stated one of their
club members came up
with the idea and the
club as a whole, sup-
plied the 11' .. seed mon-
ey to kick off the project,
then Rotary Internation-
al helped out from there.
Craig shared some
highlights of this project
as he gave a very infor-
mative talk and slide
presentation. He shared
lots of information on
the condition of the
country of Cambodia,
now and then, largely
due to the "Purge" that
took place some twenty
years ago, "Cambodians
against Cambodians,"
where about 3 million
Cambodians were exe-
cuted, for any reason
whatsoever, like speak-
ing two languages,
wearing glasses, ever
having gone abroad, etc.
So basically for no rea-
son at all, millions died.


Clean water is a valu-
able commodity, and in
that country, hard to ob-
tain by most. Thus this
project, that is not just a
program which eventu-
ally comes to an end, but
it's a project that will
sustain itself indefinate-
ly. For instance, in-
stalling a clean well, and
filtering the water. Not
only is this being done,
but the villagers are also
taught, so they can do
for themselves and teach
others as well.
After a village learns
how to filter their water,
grow their own crops,
raise animals to repro-
duce, build fish ponds,
etc. then they in turn can
go to another village and
teach others the same
things, and the "sustain-
ability" continues to
spread.
This project focuses on
clean waters and wells,
agriculture, micro busi-
ness, health and sanita-
tion and education, to
name a few. There are
many water -borne dis-
eases from polluted wa-
ter use, causing sick-
nesses in adults and chil-
dren and sometimes
death. Rotary's project
in Cambodia, has pro-
vided 150 clean water
wells, which provides
approximately 10,000
villagers and 4500 kids
with clean water. And
the wells cost only
about $1,000 each.
Some other aspects of


Jim Craig, Director of MI-
CROGRAPHICS,
Gainesville.

the project are, pass on
animals, alternative
crops, beekeeping and
fish ponds.
The villagers were
asked "what do you
want?" A couple of basic
concerns were "clean
water, and pre-schools
for their kids. Pre-
schools, was of utmost
importance because this
would allow the small
children to be cared for
so that the mothers could
go out and work to help
provide for the family.
So it seems the key to
the "Sustainable Cambo-
dia Project," is to not
only do what is needed,
but teach the villagers to
do for themselves, or in
other words to "sustain
themselves" and then
others.
Craig ended his pre-
sentation by saying that
in sharing this project
with the local Rotary
Club, it may give them
some ideas for their own
International Project.

David H. Matier, Doctor
of Pastoral Counseling
"mailto:dmatiere@
windstream.net"

There are many in so-
ciety today who believe
that "all roads lead to
Rome." In other words,
"It doesn't matter to
which religion you ad-
here, they are all good
and the result is the
same." On January 17,
many celebrated World
Religion Day. The sym-
bol of world religions
Christianity is grouped
in with all the others as
being the same as them;
just an equal. Not above
them nor below them,
inferring that there is no
need of Jesus, just be a
good adherent to SOME
religion!
But what does God's
Word say? First of all it
tells you "Thou shalt
have no other gods be-
fore me. Thou shalt not
make unto thee any
graven image, or any
likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth be-
neath, or that is in the
water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow
down thyself to them ,
nor serve them: for I the
Lord thy God am a jeal-
ous God, (Exodus 20: 3-
5) The first of the
great Ten Command-
ments! God says,
"Don't use any substi-
tutes; I AM the only
God!" He repeats this


to a new generation of
Israelites in Deuterono-
my 5:7-9. A new gener-
ation of Israelites be-
cause all but two of
them that began the trip
out of Egypt died in the
wilderness because of
their unbelief/ disobedi-
ence. Moses wasn't
even allowed to go into
the Promised land be-
cause of his disobedi-
ence and you think God
has an "any thing goes
policy" any religion
will do.
"Jesus saith unto him
(Thomas), I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Fa-
ther, but by me," (John
14:6). When you are
traveling through a for-
est and the trail markers
indicate you are on the
right trail would you fol-
low one of the trails that
lead off to the side and
take your chances of get-
ting lost or would you
follow the way that you
know is the sure way?
He marked Himself out
among all the gods of
that day, of all the de-
clared ways to get to
God as being, "The
Way," a declarative
statement, setting forth
truth.
Jesus declared in the
above passage (John
14:6) that He was not
only the way, but He is,
"the truth." In His
prayer He said, "Sancti-
fy them through thy
truth: thy word is truth,
(John 17:17). He is the
LIVING WORD "In the
beginning was the
Word..." (John 1:1). Je-
sus Christ is TRUTH not
some other way so why
should you celebrate
some other way as
though it is as good/or
equal to Christianity?
He is truth, not Buddha.
He is truth, not Zoroast-
er. He is truth, not Mo-
hamed. He is truth, not


any of the ancient gods!
And he is the only One
that left an empty tomb
that you can go and vis-
it. The others you can
visit their places of bur-
ial!
He said, "I am...the
life." He grants, those
that will believe in Him,
trust His sacrificial
death on the cross for a
once-for-all-payment
for their sins, eternal
life! And after that ini-
tial decision of the be-
liever he works with
him/her to regain their
life (save them "...work
out your own salvation
with fear and trem-
bling," Philippians
2:12). And the capstone
on your salvation will
be when the Lord comes
back in the air to receive
you unto Himself or
when you meet him in
death "He is the LIFE"
giving eternal life to all
that believe; something
no other religion can
promise. That eternal
life is initially given the
moment you believe -
"These things have I
written unto you that
believe on the name of
the Son of God; that ye
may know that ye have
eternal life, and that ye
may believe on the
name of the Son of
God," (I John 5:13).
Finally, notice, that Je-
sus said, in John 14:6, "
...no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me,"
He declares, NO MAN
COMETH UNTO THE
FATHER, BUT BY ME."
There is no other way!
That is why Christians
that understand the
truth don't celebrate
World Religion Day.
They know that it mat-
ters. It makes a differ-
ence and after all... reli-
gion doesn't take you to
heaven anyway. Jesus
Christ Is the way to
heaven.

What is


By: Kimberly Shattuck
Many people ask this
question but never really
get the answer of what
therapy or counseling re-
ally is. They are told it is
when you go and talk to
someone. "Well, why do
I need to talk to some-
one? I talk to people all
the time. How long do I
have to have counseling?
How is this really going
to help me?
Therapy is much differ-
ent than just having a
conversation. It is a plan
for improvement within
a person. First, there is
the presenting problem.
Within therapy a person
can zero in on what the
problem is without the
outside distractions of
other people who may be
involved within the issue.
It is also important to
work through the process
and not just rely on the
therapist. A therapist is
more of a guide, to help
those who need to focus
on the issue and solve it.
It is a safe non-judgmen-
tal environment for the
person seeking help.
The following is a brief
overview of the different
types of therapy that are
most commonly used.
Psychoanalytic Therapy
is the most commonly
used therapy. It is a one-
on-one therapy. Within
this therapy a therapist
will listen to a client and
look for the patterns of
events that have led the
client to seek a therapist
in the first place. At that
point the client and the
therapist will come up
with a step-by-step plan
to work though the pre-
senting issues. Next is
Cognitive-Behavioral

Therapy. This type of
therapy focuses more on
the behavior of a client.
This is most commonly
used with those persons
who have depression or
anxiety. The therapist
will zero in on what trig-
gers the client's behavior
in certain ways in certain
situations. When this is
complete the client and
therapist come up with a
plan together to best ease
these issues within the
client's daily life. HY-
PERLINK "http://psy-
chology.about.com/ od /
psychotherapy/f/group-
therapy.htm" Group
Therapy is very common
as well. This is exactly
what it says. Group ther-
apy is a group of people
who are joined with simi-
lar issues. They work to-
gether to find a solution
that works for each per-
son within the group.
The members can share
what has worked for
them within their own
lives. Also, they can share
what brought them to
where they are now.
Even though there are
many more types of ther-
apy than the types dis-
cussed in this article, that
are used most commonly.
Some therapy can be ac-
cessed via web cam with
a therapist for those who
do not want to go into an
office. There are many
ways to receive the ser-
vices that you may need
within the field of thera-
py. Therapy is meant to
help those who need to
move on with their own
life. A person can go to
therapy for a long time
and never get anything
resolved if they are not
committed to making a

Tops ten ways to be

your own valentine

Whether you're single or in a relationship, Feb. 14
can be an opportunity to renew your commitment to a
healthy lifestyle and enhance your well-being.
Chocolates and sweets may abound, but this Valen-
tine's Day, incorporate the following ten tips from
TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the non-
profit weight-loss support organization, for increased
peace of mind and tranquillity that lasts well beyond
the holiday. You may find yourself with a fuller heart
and without a wider waistline.
10. Realize how great it is that you are one of a kind.
Appreciate your voice, vision, and uniqueness.
9. Write down your many talents and qualities that
you like about yourself. They can be as grand as fly-
ing an airplane or as simple as frequently leaving a tip
at your local coffee shop. Continue being aware, and
add to this list for a regular boost of self-esteem.
8. Get enough rest. According to a 2009 report in
the "Archives of Internal Medicine," people who sleep
less than seven hours per night appear about three
times as likely to develop respiratory illnesses as those
who sleep eight hours or more. In addition to im-
proving judgment, problem-solving, and creativity, a
well-rested mind and body will have increased energy
levels, making it easier to commit to an exercise and
healthy eating program.
7. Indulge in a (non-food) treat. Perhaps you al-
ways focus on the needs of others without ever doing
anything nice for yourself. Buy a bouquet of flowers
to brighten up your home or pamper your feet with a
rejuvenating pedicure. Valentine's Day is the perfect
occasion to treat yourself well.
6. Take time to write down and examine your goals.
You may surprise yourself, as expressing your goals
specifically on paper can be freeing and open up pos-
sibilities you might never have considered. Many of
them might already be within your grasp.
5. Remember the special people in your life. Feb. 14
doesn't have to focus on the love you share with your
significant other. Consider family members, friends,
and mentors who make your life meaningful the rest
of the year. Send a card to let them know how much
you care or spend an afternoon just catching up, to
leave both of you feeling treasured.
4. Try something new. Give yourself permission to
take risks by exploring a new hobby, tackling that
home improvement project, or training for a race.
Don't let fear or excuses hold you back from your best
self.
3. Create a food and exercise/activity plan tailored
just for you. There's no need to hire a trainer or sign
up for a pricey gym. Peruse healthy lifestyle maga-
zines for workout tips, meal plans, and delicious, low-
calorie recipes. Visit the local library or surf the Web
for free materials and advice, as well.
2. Count your blessings. Think about what you are
thankful for, and record them in a journal each night.
The habit of looking on the bright side of each day and
being grateful helps create an upbeat attitude and can
add a sweet touch to life.
1. Relax, play, and enjoy life without guilt. Just as
a car's battery won't work unendingly without being
recharged, remember that everyone needs to give
themselves a break occasionally. Stop expecting the
impossible from yourself and simply do the best you
can with each day.
TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the
original, nonprofit weight-loss education and support
organization, was established more than 62 years ago
to champion weight-loss support and success. Found-
ed and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wis., TOPS pro-
motes successful weight management with a philoso-
phy that combines healthy eating, regular exercise,
wellness education, and support from others at week-
ly chapter meetings. TOPS has about 170,000 members
in nearly 10,000 chapters throughout the United States
and Canada, and several chapters in Europe.
Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meet-
ing free of charge. To find a local chapter, view

Spreading the Word of God abroad


Continued From Page 1A

feel to know at an early
age what you are des-
tined to do with your
life.
For Krista and Scott


Fletcher, the decision
was easy. Being devot-
ed Christians and wish-
ing to spread the Word
of God to those in other
countries who have nev-
er heard the Gospel be-


fore, joining Project
R.E.A.C.CH. was the
natural choice for them
in the year 2000.
Project R.E.A.C.CH.
has been ministering in
Eastern Asia for years.


Their Purpose Statement
says it all: "To Reach &
Restore Humanity
through the Power of
Christ's Love, Word &
Anointing." They are an
"Asian-based ministry
that focuses on fulfilling
Christ's Commission in
Eastern Asia."
The Fletchers' home
base is the Mayo and
Branford area of Florida,
and at least once a year
they return to spend
time with family, stay-
ing for a month or so


each visit. They started
their missionary work in
Taiwan, where they
spent two years, and for
the past six years they
have been ministering in
Thailand.
For Scott and Krista, it
has been a true learning
experience, not only for
them, but also for their
three children, Zachary,
Madison and Micah.
Learning new languages
has been their biggest
challenge, but the entire
Fletcher family is eager-


ly studying, in order to
make communications
with the Asian people
easier.
Project: R.E.A.C.CH.
International Ministries
is a nonprofit, self sup-
portive ministry. If you
would like more infor-
mation about how you
can help support their
ongoing work in East
Asia, you can write the

Florida's farmers and ranchers. Presi-
dent Hoblick informed the leaders that
Florida's Greenbelt Law would defi-
nitely be on our Legislative agenda for
this coming session.
Financial stability of the County
Farm Bureaus was also a topic of in-
terest among the Farm Bureau leaders.
This was the third time that Hoblick
has come to the local areas, to listen to
problems and concerns from local
leaders. Among the topics brought up


by local leaders was the lack of jobs in
rural communities and just plain farm
income being at an all time low.
Hoblick also invited all Farm Bureau
members to attend the Annual Farm
Bureau Days at the state Capitol com-
ing up in March. Every year, over 700
to 800 Farm Bureau members from all
across the state converge on the Civic
Center in Tallahassee to meet with
their elected officials at a huge recep-
tion. Tickets to this event are available
at each County Farm Bureau office
within a few days.

from first grade through sixth grade.
One of the biggest highlights of this
season has been the third through
the sixth grades, boys and girls,
playing during half-time of the
Lafayette Hornets regular season
games. Not only was this a treat for
our fans, the visiting team fans
showed just as much excitement.
The mission of this league is to
help our future Hornets learn the
fundamentals of basketball, team-
work, sportsmanship and most of all
to have fun. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the parents,
coaches, sponsors, officials and the
community as a whole for helping to
make this league successful. A spe-
cial thanks to Lafayette County
Commissioners for entrusting me as
your Director. Each and every player
plays a special part in my life, so
thank you, the players for your part.
We are midway through the sea-
son and each week you can see the
improvements. Here are the top
scorers midway through.

Former LES principal honored with permanent plaque ,.


Continued From Page 1A

The school district
and administration, in
recognition of her tire-


less work and efforts,
decided to place a per-
manent plaque on the
wall directly beside the
entrance to the school


office. There is a quote
that Mrs. McCray always
used in her emails, be-
cause it was the essence
of what she believed -
"excellence is not a point
you reach... it is a com-
mitment you make to
keep improving." That
saying is on the plaque as
a permanent reminder of
what she stood for at the
school and for the chil-
dren. We applaud Mrs.
McCray for her many
years of service, and
hope that we will always
keep what she said in
mind as we move for-
ward educationally in
the coming years.
Thanks again,
Mrs. McCray!

Food Check-Out Week

healthy food while on a
budget does require
smart shopping.
Farm Bureau's Food
Check-Out Week, Feb.
21-27, focuses on help-
ing Americans learn
how to stretch their gro-
cery dollars with
healthy, nutritious food.
America's farmers and
ranchers are committed
to producing safe,
healthy and abundant
food. And they share a
common concern with
consumers when it
comes to putting nutri-
tious meals on the table
while sticking to a tight
budget.
The good news: a re-
cent USDA report favor-
ably supports the eco-
nomics of healthier eat-
ing. Recent food price
data show that prices for
unprepared, readily
available fresh fruits and
vegetables have re-
mained stable relative to
dessert and snack foods,
such as chips, ice ream
and cola. Therefore, as
defined by foods in the
study, the price of a
"healthier" diet has not
changed compared to an
"unhealthy" diet.
Farm Bureau's Food
Check-Out Week is
aimed at helping Ameri-
can consumers learn
how to shop effectively
to put nutritious meals
on the table with fewer
dollars. "Learning to
use your grocery dollars
wisely ensures that nu-
trition isn't neglected,"
according to Rod Land,
President of Lafayette
County Farm Bureau.
"Fruits and vegetables
- along with whole
grains, low-fat dairy
products, lean meats,
fish, beans, eggs and
nuts are an important
part of a healthy diet.
Buying fresh produce
when it's in season and
costs less, while buying
frozen fruits and vegeta-
bles when they're not in
season, is a smart way to
stretch that dollar", says
Rod Land.
Farm Bureau has de-
veloped Food Check-
Out Week educational
materials dedicated to
helping consumers
make healthier food
purchases. Information
on several topics includ-
ing 'Tips for Better Nu-
trition on a Tight Bud-
get," "How much


budget
Should I Eat," "Under-
standing Food Labels,"
and "Understanding
What My Pyramid
Means," are available.
Additionally,
Lafayette County Farm
Bureau donated $100.00
of food to the Ronald
McDonald House in Tal-
lahassee recognizing the
need everyone has to
find solutions to feeding
families healthful foods
on a tight budget. The
Ronald McDonald
House provides a
"home-away-from-
home" for families of se-
riously ill children re-
ceiving medical treat-
ment in the Tallahassee
area. The food will be
used to help feed fami-
lies staying at the house.
Now in its 12th year,
Food Check-Out Week
also highlights Ameri-
ca's safe, abundant and
affordable food supply,
made possible largely
by America's productive
farmers and ranchers.
According to the most
recent (2008) informa-
tion from the USDA's
Economic Research Ser-
vice, American families
and individuals spend,
on average, less than 10
percent of their dispos-
able personal income for
food.
