Previously, Planning and Zoning

ministrative assistant to the Board of
County Commissioners, the County
Coordinator or personnel from the
Building Department or Code Enforce-

Madison County, P & Zissues have be-

assists the Madison County Develop-

information to businesses looking to
locate in, or expand into, the county
During the 2007 fiscal year, Bass
saw several large scale Comprehensive

and south of Interstate 10 between SR
53 and CR 255 that was started in 2005.
This infrastructure, which includes
water and wastewater, was built to en-
courage economic development in this
corridor. One of the first businesses to
respond to the addition of the infra-
structure was Love's Travel Stops of

tion, Fast Track is rebuilding an ex-

SR 53 and 1-10 following a total loss to

The Council also voted
unanimously to change the
job title of current Town Ad-

-STi standing On The Ground
Where was the man, I have often asked?
Was he in the crowd of accusers, hiding behind self-
righteousness' mask?
"He who is without sin among you," the Master in-
toned,
"Let it be he that casts the first stone."
The accusers looked at. the words written in the
sand,
Were the words written sins that applied to each
man?
The thoughts and intents of their hearts had been re-
vealed,
Sins brought to light that darkness thought it had
concealed,
"Where are .those who seek to condemn you," the
Master asked,
"There is no one," the woman answered, the hour of
judgment passed,
"Neither do I condemn you," the Lord gently said,

Living With "Little People"
I started writing this
about two years ago (Octo-
ber 2005). I'm writing as a
series because the combina-
tion of writings are too
long for one allowed col-
umn space. Therefore bear
with me as this is written
in the past, present and fu-
ture tense. This is just one
grandmother's version of
living life with little people.
Little People: Babies
are truly just little people.
They have likes and dis-
likes, they feel and sense
fear, pain, happiness,
hunger, and lack of sleep.
They have friends and
playmates. They can be
cute and troublesome at
times. They can be sneaky
and look you right in the
eye claiming their inno-
cence, and smile that little
smile that melts your
heart, so you can't be up-
set with them.
As some of you know,
we have been blessed with
three beautiful grandba-
bies. Two of' them are
about 16 months old now.

Is it the sound (of stoneslanding on the ground? adults, like parrots or
monkeys :the way they
mimic others. Their lan-
guage is all their own.
There' are some things
-,they say, that we adults:un-
derstand. We know they
always understand each
other, and believe me they
do a lot of talking among
themselves. At times they
even carry on conversa-
tions, talking to nothing
and nobody They have
longer toy cell phone con-
versations than we do.
They copy each other,
adults, and even the dogs.
It is really amusing to
watch and listen to them
as they learn and live their
busy little lives. Our chil-
dren figure that all babies
are born geniuses and we
are the ones who make
them less intelligent to be
like us. Maybe they are
right, in a way.
Following is a list of
what these 16-month-olds
have done, or can do:
Of course, Trinity and
Karic can walk, and Doio-
van finds his own way of
getting around.
They know if they
push a button or turn a
knob, something is going
to move-sing-dance-or
make a noise.
They know how to
stack or pile just about
anything.
They know how to put
things inside one another.
They know grandmas'
stainless steel pans and
bowls are noisy and fun to
play with.
They can open and
close just about anything.
They know where
food, drinks, and pacifiers
go.
They know dogs can
bite and they know they
can bite too.
They know how to
help you get them dressed,
knowing shoes go on their
feet and hats go on their
heads.
They know the differ-
ence between inside and
outside, hot and cold, full
and all gone, yes and no,
up and down, good and
bad and good and bad
tastes.
They know garbage is
yucky and where it goes.
SThey tell you, when
they messed their pants,
and need to be changed.
They understand bye
by and hello and always
give kisses and hugs at
that time.
They can draw pic-
tures on paper and the
chalkboard, and write and
erase on an Etch a Sketch.
They know there's
food and drinks in the
fridge, and try to get it
open.
They know the stove is
hot and it hurts if they
touch it.
They know people by
sight and remember them;
they know all their bed-
time pals by name.
They can throw a ball
or other toys.
They usually pick up
their toys and know how
to put them back in the
right place.
They can share or be
stingy, or take away anoth-
er's toy, food or drink just
because they can.
They push and shove
each other at times.

On January 2 on page 2
of the Carrier- Viewpoints
and Opinions I was
struck by the aptness, and
truth of Jacob's editorial
"News Is News." In my
opinion, it is the best thing
he has done in quite a
while.
Also, I loved Emerald's
Gem Box on the same page
- her 'A Trip Down Memo-
ry Lane" really took me on
a pleasant journey into the
past. My children, though,
are older than Emerald, so
my journey into the past
goes a lot farther. I'm sure
there are still some of you
who can remember with
me the beauty of a shiny
black 'top buggy' or a Mod-
el A Ford. They were luxu-
ries very few could afford.
Also, the wild broncos
brought into Madison from
Texas.
Daddy bought and
broke them for resale
(that's how he bought the
top buggy).
I also remember the
ruin of the South, the boll
weevil a scourge which
also crossed our borders il-
legally! as well as the de-
pression of the '30's. By the
way it will take another de-
pression to cause America
to regain its sanity There
were good times and wild
spending during the twen-
ties. Remember the
Charleston, short skirts
and bathtub gin? I do I re-
member my aunt shocking
the neighbors when she did
the Charleston to entertain
them. And she showed her
pretty silk garters! How
awful! I was nine years old.
Today the bikini barely
covers the 'kini.
Give us some more
memories, Emerald. Ask
Tommy and Mary Ellen -
I'll bet they have a trunk
full! "Thanks for the Mem-
ories." Also give us more
pages like that one.

If Weight Loss Is Your Resolution,
Think Small Steps For Success
Two of the most popular New Year's resolutions in
America are losing weight and getting more exercise. All
too often, we start out with a lot of enthusiasm, only to for-
get about any change by the end of January
The key to success is to start out small and try a variety
of activities to keep you active and moving. Melinda Hem-
melgarn, Nutrition Specialist with the University of Mis-
souri suggests you fit small amounts of fitness into your day.
Short bursts of activity throughout the day have proven to
be an effective way to get physical activity into your daily
routine and help with weight control. Here are a few strate-
gies to consider.
Walk or ride a bike to work if possible, or park your car
as far as possible from the door.
Take exercise breaks instead of coffee breaks. Take
the stairs up and down a few flights or take a short walk out-
side.
Get up a little earlier in the morning to fit in a 30
minute brisk walk in your neighborhood. You may want to
ask a friend, neighbor or spouse to join you.
Lift weights. Resistance training is critical for main-
taining lean body mass throughout our lives. Since muscle
tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue, the learn-
er you are, the more calories you burn at rest, or sitting at a
desk.
Turn off the TV There is a direct relationship between
hours of television watched and percent body fat.
Make your calories count. If you snack at your desk,
choose foods that are low in calories and high in nutrients.
Instead of candy and chips, munch on apples and baby car-
rots. As we get older, and especially if we are physically in-
active, we really can't afford to eat foods that deliver a lot of
calories but few nutrients. Make sure the majority of the
foods you eat are contributing to your health and fitness.
SFool yourself. You can still eat brownies and ice cream,
just serve yourself smaller portions. You'll be satisfied with
less if you eat from smaller, but attractive dishes.
Choose beverages wisely Drink more water, and less
soft drinks; keep a water bottle at your desk. Go easy on al-
coholic beverages too they are loaded with calories.
Give yourself time. Schedule regular physical activity
into your life just as you would any important meeting.
Think of healthy habits as an investment in your life and a
contribution to your productive, healthy future.
Small changes add up to big health benefits over the en-
tire year. Adopt one or two of these strategies and when they
become a habit, add one or two more. You will be please
with the results.
Lee Homecoming
Good Morning, every-
one! What lovely "spring
weather" is following on
the heels of our recent
deep freeze. We're really
enjoying it, even though
predictions are that it will
be short-lived.
Are you all beginning
to settle back into we
hope a relaxing routine
following-again we hope -
a busy but wonderful holi-
day season? Before our
New Year experience on
which we reported last
week we thoroughly en-
joyed Christmas. Our
home was the setting in
which a large portion of
our family while arriv-
ing and leaving in layers
over a period of about a
week (this caused by some
having to work even on
Christmas) enjoyed the ca-
maraderie that only close
family ties can keep con-
stant through the years.
All six children plus
two husbands, four grand-
children, one great-grand-
son plus his wife and our
great-great grandson, one
grandson's girlfriend and
two former sons-in-law
practically caused "the
timbers to ring" in this
usually very quiet domi-
cile. While only ten were
present for Christmas din-
ner, Mona's son, Troy, who
arrived with his girlfriend
early, laden like Santa
with Christmas presents,
had to leave early and left
laden with food for him,
his girlfriend and his fa-
ther, Jimmy, in Lake City.
Jimmy had been invited,
but was unable to come,
though. He had brought
our Christmas card in per-
son the week before (when
someone drives about a
hundred miles to deliver a
Needs Not Only Committee Veterans, But New Blood
\..:t i cara m
person
and that card says, "I love
you," it is believable.)
Another invited guest
- and ex-husband who
accepted and joined us for
dinner, is Carlton Lang-
ford who, amazingly, was
able to drive himself and
is almost independent
of his cane. We enjoyed
having him with us and
doing so well after such an
ordeal. He hasn't even lost
his sense of humor.
And now for some Lee
news the best we've
heard, is that Simon Kin-
sey was able, finally, to
come home on Monday af-
ter quite an extended stay
in the hospital following a
fall and a broken hip.
Ernestine is also doing
quite well.
The worst news is the
passing of Clara Stude-
baker, who not only was a
dedicated clerk for the
Town of Lee for many
years, but never missed a
meeting of the Lee Senior
Citizens Club, if at all pos-
sible. She did love to make
quilts. We have all missed
her there these last few
years and she will certain-
ly be among our best mem-
ories. Our sincere condo-
lences to Terry and Mary
Helen and the rest of the
family.
Dick, Cheryl and the
rest of the Archambault
family enjoyed a Christ-
mas vacation in the Ten-
nessee Mountains (escdap
ing the Florida heat?)."
Anyway, reports are that
everyone had a wonderful
time.
Leonard, Janice and
son, Jeremy Miller, spent
their Christmas time with
son Scott and family in
Fort Payne, Alabama.
That city's claim to
fame is 'being the home
town of the band Alaba-
ma. The Millers also re-
port a wonderful Christ-
mas with family
We're sure that most
everyone enjoyed the holi-
day season, even though
we haven't heard from
them.
We have been asked to
remind our readers to
gear up for Lee Day. Not
enough showed up for the
meeting on December 6th
so another one is sched-
uled for January 17th.
Please schedule this
on your calendar and don't
forget to attend. Cheryl
says willing and able
workers must show up and
dedicate themselves to us-
ing their talents to show-
case their town or else. Or
else means Lee Homecom-
ing needs not only com-
mittee veterans but new
blood. We invite new resi-

There was also a vote to of-
ficially update the Em-
ployee Handbook, bring-
ing it current on the topic
of holiday pay.
The last item of agen-
da business was an update
to the Council regarding a
proposed wastewater pro-
ject with Nestle Water that
Archambault has been
working on with Nestle Di-
rector of Operations Rob
Fisher for the past year.
Essentially Fisher said
that Nestle is introducing
a new process at the plant
that willallow the-func-
tion to been executed with-
out the need to build out
additional wastewater fa-
cilities. Until this decision
was made, the alternative
would have included a sig-

the Town of Lee.
Archambault noted,
"The substantial future
revenue represented by
this type of project is the
type of opportunity we,
will always be motivated
to pursue. However, con-
sidering the fact that the
alternative they've chosen
is so environmentally pos-
itive, being part of the
greater "green" programs
sweeping American Indus-
try, we are still very
pleased to have Nestle as
such a good neighbor."

number as Hayes (10) at FSU, had benefited in the draft
by waiting until their senior year.
Marcus Ball, who backed up Hayes, as well as fresh-
man linebackers Nigel Bradham and Vincent Williams,
are expected to make a run for Hayes' starting position.
FSU Head Coach Bobby Bowden said in a press re-
lease, "I know (Hayes) has the ability to play at that lev-
el. It's just a matter of time. I wish him the best of
luck."
While playing for the Madison County High School
Cowboys, Hayes was named to Parade Magazine's All-
American team.
Hayes played his last game for the Seminoles in the"
Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn.,,on December 31,
2007.
Growth
cont from page 1A
"Our vision is to keep Madison County rural, but
also plan for economic growth," Bass explains. As the
website details, "The mission of the Planning and Zon-
ing Department is to provide fair and equitable admin-
istration and enforcement of the County's Comprehen-
sive Plan and Land Development Regulations as ap-
proved by the Board of County Commissioners; AND to
do so-in a manner that is courteous, respectful, and ex-
pedient for the citizens and property owners of Madison
County"
The statements in the'P & Z section of the county
website located at www.madisoncountyfl.com also note,
"Madison County is zoned, approximately 90 percent
Agricultural, with Urban Development zones surround-
ing each municipality, the unincorporated community
of Pinetta, and the Cherry Lake crossroads. Rural De-
velopment areas follow each arterial roadway south to
their respective -10 interchanges, three of which (SR 53,
SR 14, US 221) are zoned Highway Interchange."
Moving into 2008, Bass will oversee the visioning
process and continue to update the Comprehensive Plan
and Future Land Use Map to reflect the changes in the
county Bass will also coordinate or update the Land De-
velopment Codes, Development Review Committee and
the Historic Design Review Board.
To Bass' enormous credit, as complex as these activ-
ities may be, there is no room for error. Each function is
absolutely essential to the county, as there are practical,
legal and even financial consequences if not performed
in a timely, efficient and extremely accurate manner.
This, among other notable accomplishments, is the rea-
son Cherry gave her such high praise during the recent
Annual Report to the BOCC.

Tallahassee Boys' Choir To Rock
The House Jan. 19 at NFCC
The world famous Tallahassee Boys'
Choir will perform 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 cheer-
ing on these wonderful young men as you
enjoy their remarkable performance.
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.Center's Millennium Stage to
St. Peter's Basilica, these young men have
performed music from jazz to gospel and
are sure to have you on your feet, clap-
ping to their wonderful sound.
The young men represented Florida
when they went to Italy and spent 10 days
performing in Rome, Florence, Venice
and Milan. But of all its performances,
the choir is most proud of its participa-
tion in the International Music Festival.
Competing recently in the Bahamas
against 165 ensembles from around the
world, the choir received 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
recognizing the ensemble for the high-
est score.
Money raised through this event
will go to fund the Madison County
Chapter of Charmettes NFCC scholar-
ship fund. The event is co-sponsored
by NFCC.
The choir was founded in 1995 for
boys ages 8 to 18 who live in neighbor-
hoods with limited social and econom-
ic opportunities. The program's goal is
to foster academic excellence, build
character and self-esteem, develop in-
terpersonal skills and acquire skills
for every choir member for the future.
Every graduate of the program has
been accepted into college.
The choir's motto, "No Excuses,"
sets the pace for its young men. The
program also provides a father figure,
counseling and in many cases, provides
what many young men in America
need today a motivation to do good
and develop self-esteem.
For more information on the choir,
go to www.boyschoirtlh.org.
Tickets are $15 and available
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.

The Madison Enterprise-Recorder 7A
By Tyrra B Meserve
Greene Publishing, Inc.
When looking into
reverse mortgages, as
with any other major
bank loans, there are
some basic facts that
need to be considered
before making the final
decision. To qualify for
most reverse mortgages
you must be at least six-
ty- two years old,
own, and be living
in your own
home. A re-
verse mort-
gage can
allow in-
dividu-
als who
are
proper-
ty-rich
yet
cash-
poor
convert
equity
into the
ability to
stay in their
homes and still
meet their finan-
cial needs to fund
home improvement,
pay off a current mort-
gage, pay unexpected
health care expenses or
supplement their retire-
ment nest-egg. With
three different basic
types of reverse mort-
gages, a meeting with a
financial officer could
help you decide whether
a reverse mortgage loan
can help you meet your
needs in your individual
situation.
A reverse mortgage
is a special type of home
loan that allows a home-
owner to convert a por-
tion of the equity in
their home into cash,
while still residing in
the home. Unlike most
loans that require
monthly payments, a re-
verse loan does not re-
quire the borrower to
make monthly payments
so no income is needed
to qualify The cash the
borrower receives from
a reverse mortgage can
be paid in several ways,
all at once in a lump
sum, as a regular
monthly cash advance,
as a credit-line account
that allows the individ-
ual to decide when and
how much available
cash is needed, or a com-
bination of all three op-
tions.
The first type of re-
verse mortgage is a sin-
gle purpose reverse
mortgage offered by
some state and local gov-
ernment agencies and
non-profit organizations.
A single purpose reverse
mortgage normally has
very low costs, and gen-
erally, to qualify, the bor-
rower's income must be
low to moderate. These
types of loans are not
available everywhere
and can only be used for
one purpose specified by
the government or non-
profit lender as in to pay
for home repairs, prop-
erty taxes, home im-
provements or medical
bills.
Also there is the
home equity conversion
reverse mortgage, or
HECM, as well as propri-
etary reverse mortgages.
These two tend to be
more costly than other
home loans with the up-
front costs being higher,
so they are generally the
most expensive if the
borrower stays in the
house for a short period
of time. Backed by the
US Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Develop-
ment, there are no re-
stric-
tions, but will only be
cost efficient if the
home-owner stays for a
long period of time..
However the borrower
can live in a nursing
home or another med-
ical facility for up to 12
months before the loan
becomes due and
payable. The HECM de-
pends on many factors
such as age, appraised
value of the home cur-
rent interest values and
others so it is nesses-.
sary to meet with an in-
dependent government
approved housing coun-
seling agent before ap-
plying. Both the HECM
and a proprietary re-
verse mortgage base in
general the factor of age
and the value of you
home so the less you
owe, the more money
you can get. The
HECM also gives
you choices as to
how the loan
is paid to
you.
Re
verse
mort-
gage
loan ad-
vances
are not
taxable
and
normal-
ly do not
affect So-
cial Securi-
ty or
Medicare bene-
fits. You, as the
borrower retain the
title to your home and do
not have to make monthly
repayments. The loan must
be repaid when the home is'
sold, or when the owner
-no longer live in the
home.
To find out more about
reverse mortgage loans, con-
tact the AARP Fbundation,
HUD, the Federal Trade Com-
mission or your localfinan-
cial loan officer for details.

Happenings At Madison First Baptist Church
By Nell Dobbs
Isn't it amazing that
God thinks of us? We sing
the song, "Thou Thinkest
Lord of Me, of Me." We
were so blessed by the
first message that Preach-
er Morris gave us Sunday:
"Let Jesus Be Great in
2008!" from Jeremiah
29:11-13:
"For I know the
thoughts that I think to-
ward you, saith the Lord;
thoughts of peace and not
of evil, to give you an ex-
pected end. Then shall ye
call upon me, and I will
hearken unto you. And ye
shall seek me and find me,
when ye shall search for
me with all your heart."
Amen!
As we sang, "This is
My Father's World," this
part touched me: "In the
rustling grass I hear Him
pass."
He speaks to me
everywhere.
He has a plan for us.
He has planned our fu-
ture. We don't know the
future, but we know Who
holds the future.
He wants to speak to
us and He wants to hear
from me.
We pray God's daily
leading for Preacher Mor-
ris and his family.:.
Sharon, his wife, and Han-
nah and Sarah, their
daughters. Of course, we
welcome them into
church.
Liane Wakefield sang
an interesting song, "Face
to Faith" for Willia Bran-
ham and we all liked it.
Willa and Mark are ex-
cited about Sweet Lil'
Camryn Michelle, born
December 27 to Marcia
and Donnie Bass. She
joins brother, Garin. We
give thanks for this new
one and her families.
Also, we continue to give
thanks for Leigh and
Kevin McNutt's new ones,
born December 20 Sa-
vannah Leigh and Dalton
James. They've made
their grandparents, Terri
Sherrard and Joe and Vic-
ki Sherrard and Richard
McNutt and great-grand-
parents, Paul and Annie
Ben Ragans proud.
Soon, Archie and Pat-
sy Davis will rejoice as
Anna and Jamie Davis
will have a baby soon.
There will be a shower for
Anna and Jamie on Sun-
day, January 13, at 2:30
p.m. What joy! Newborn
babies! We give thanks
and prayers for them!
"Marvelous Grace"
was played as the offerto-
ry by Liane Wakefield
and Lex Webb after Ron-
nie Ragans' prayer. The
offertory was beautiful.
Chancel Choir sang "Ag-
nus Dei," then the preach-
er preached the great
message.
Last week, Preacher
Gene Stokes said before
we ate supper that some
of us should give to the
Lottie Moon offering to
reach our goal of $2,500.
Some must have for we're
nearly there! Amen! Bless
this offering!
Earnest prayers for
those who are ill:
Barbara Whittle, seri-
ously ill in ICU at Shands;
Joy Gensel from Hughey
Center to South Georgia;
Brett Copeland had
surgery Thursday in
Thomasville; Simon Kin-
sey in Madison Hospital;
both Derry Cruce and her
grandson, Lil Jackson
Taylor, five-and-a-half
months old; Doris Raines;
Sue Rains; J.T. Walker,
still mourning the loss of
his Hazel; both William
and Lois Sweat (so happy
to see Vernon, Cindy and
Billy Howard able to be in
church Sunday) and all
others.

Fifth grader, Miranda McCammon, logs on a late day "Curious about Curious George?" Olivia Graham, in the
reading session, first grade, asks.
By Tyrra B. Meserve
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Massive changes took
place at the Madison Acad-
emy Library over the last
few months.
First year librarian "
Kelly Zimmerly took hard
work and attention to de-
tail to an all-new height as
she and Principal Michael
Akes put some final touch-
es on their project, bring-
ing the Accelerated Read-
ing Program to Academy
students. While looking to
beef up reading with their
students, they found the
program that has helped
many students in other
schools.
The Accelerated Read-
ing Program, however, did
not come without some
challenges tq be put into
practice, but with Zimmer-
ly's and Akes' persistence
and creativity, hurdles
were leaped and now the
Academy is on-line and
reading up a storm.
The Accelerated Read-
ing Program is based on
students reading a book
registered with the pro-
gram and then taking a
test online. Able to test ei-
ther in the classroom or at
the library, the program
analyzes comprehension
through how many ques-
tions the participant got
right or wrong and in
which areas.
The student need sim-
ply check out a book from
the library, verify that the
book is registered with the
program, read, then, log
on-line to test.
The program is de-
signed to be user-friendly
and walks the student
through step-by-step, even
keeping score and aver-
ages for the:tests taken.
Teachers are able to
overview progress and de-
cipher where the student
needs improvement as an
individual, and how the
class ranks as a whole.
From there the teacher is
able to personalize the stu-
dent's individual needs.
Originally, theAcade-
my's library wras more tra-
ditional, housing books
that were not web based,
but through determination
and innovation, Zimmerly
and Akes brought the li-
brary up to high speed.
On-line required twen-
ty-five new computers to
be installed and laptops in
some of the classrooms,
enabling the students to be
hooked to the Internet and
its web based books. The
library did its part to over-
see the technology being
installed, since previously
it did not have adequate
on-line capability
Though the changes
were expensive, the staff
was able to cut costs re-
sourcefully in many ways.
A book drive supplied
4,000 books by donation
and others found their
way to the library though
a prison system swap.
Book by book, the library
was brought into program.
A scanning system
was then put in place that
works like that of the big-
ger libraries where stu-
dents are motivated to
check out books through
some very unique tech-
niques.
Spirit Day, for in-
stance, challenged stu-
dents to read, with shav-
ing the school's director
head as their big pay off.
There is an incentive
store, set up by Zimmerly,
trading points for goods
like watches, mini-cam-
eras, hats, pens-as well as
other prizes. The more
kids read, the niore points
they earn that they are
able to trade in at the
shopping stop.
Akes even mentioned an
"out of dress code day,"
which he said for the stu-
dents is a "no-brainer."
Some students may even
get special motivation
matched to their individ-
ual personalities.
What started at first as
struggles to find out what
motivates kids to read has
now turned into a success
story for the Academy, its
staff and students. April
will bring another book
drive as the kids are al-
ready exceeding expecta-
tions with their voracious
literary appetites.
Running out of books
was not an immediate
problem Zimmerly who is
in charge of managing
points and books that go
in and out of the library,
had anticipated. With the
teachers already needing
-more books, it is one more
sign just how well the pre-
gram is working.
S"We need more second
grade readers and more
material," Zimmerly states
with pride, perusing the
latest data on the students
reading habits and scores.
It looks as though the
Academy has hit the tar-
get on how to get kids to
read for pleasure and the
long run. The program not
q.ly vgok-,-it excels, and
for thatthere is the Acade-
my's dedicated staff and
far-thinking librarian, Kel-
ly Zimmerly to thank.

One Cow, Two Cows, Milk Cow, Moo Cow
By Tyrra B Meserve
GreenePublishing, Inc
There is unsung nobility in the
dairy cow of today Passed by on
country roads, seen from afar,
these cud-chewing champs have
helped out humanity since time
unknown. What is it that makes
these docile creatures stand by
waiting to get tipped? What are
they thinking as they work those
jaws back and forth, for up to eight
hours a day chewing partially di-
gested blades of grass with their 32
teeth as the clouds roll by Do they
miss the good old days when farm-
ers milked them by hand, six cows
per hour, as opposed to today's ma-
chine rate of over 100 cows in that
same amount of time? If cows
could talk, what stories would they
tell?
Sometimes called the foster
mothers of the human race, cows
have been recorded being milked
as far back as 9000 BC. Milk is men-
tioned 47 times in the Old Testa-
ment of the Bible proving that
even then, calcium helped
mankind grow up big and strong.
The first dairy cows made
their maiden voyage stateside trav-
eling with Christopher Columbus
on his return trip to the New
World. By the time the pilgrims
were crossing the Atlantic, it had
become not only practice, but also
law, that each ship heading for the
Americas carried one cow for
every five passengers. In 1611, cows
arrived in the Jamestown colony
along with some new laws protect-
ing them, written by its governor,
Lord Delaware.
,In Boston, Massachusetts,
there is a large pasture turned
park, dedicated to the Plymouth
cows of 1624 that brought hope in
the form of milk to the hungry
colonists. From then on, the cows
movement west was arduous, yet
unstoppable. The dedicated family
cow, tied behind the covered wag-
on, tromped onward over grass-
land and meadows, pro-
viding milk and butter for
its human dependants.
Drinking milk
back then, however, was
not without risks. Prior to
the combined efforts of
Gail Borden and Louis
Pasteur, milk straight
from the cow carried
harmful bacteria and did
not shelf well. If not con-
sumed within a couple of
hours during the summer
months, milk would spoil,
possibly leaving the
drinker ill.
Borden, during a
transatlantic voyage in
1852, then came up with
the idea of canned milk.
Condensing his
product, he realized that
the heating process killed
the bacteria that caused
spoilage. Combined with
Pasteur's genius involv-
ing experiments with bacteria,
milk fears started to abate and
Americans once again started to
drink it up.
Today's dairy cow can produce
the same amount of milk that it
once took ten cows to produce.
Over nine million cows are being
milked on farms in the U.S., with
more than 99% of dairy farms be-
ing family owned and operated.
America's cows give an average of
2,000 gallons of milk per year, sup-
plying one of the most valuable of
all foods enriched with vitamins
and nutrients such as calcium, vit-
amins D and B, as well as large
quantities of phosphorus.
Second mother to millions of
mankind, not only does the cow
supply milk, she also can be looked
at as a symbol of wealth, en-
durance, strength, abundance and
selfless giving. The milk cow is the
embodiment of a full, earthly life.

Changes in consumer
trends, country of origin
labeling and develop-
ments in biofuels are
some of the issues ad-
dressed in Rabobank's
2008 North American
Food & Agribusiness Out-
look.
The Outlook is pro-
duced annually by the
Food and Agribusiness
Research team (FAR).
team, which provides in-
'formation and analysis
covering all of the major
sectors throughout the
food chain. The Americ-
as-based FAR team is part
of Rabobank's global FAR
group, comprised of 80ire-
search analysts located
around the world, who
conduct research on sub-
jects of strategic interest
to companies and cus-
tomers within the food,
agribusiness and agricul-
ture sectors.
"The agribusiness en-
vironment is constantly
evolving, reflecting ongo-
ing changes in overall
economic and business
Cycles, consumer prefer-
ences, demographic
shifts, new product tech-
nologies, energy sources,
as well as regulatory is-
sues," said Debbie
Perkins, Rabobank's
Head of Food and
Agribusiness Research in
North America. "As a re-
sult, farmers, input sup-
pliers, food companies
and. retailers are con-
stantly being forced to re-
.think their business mod-
,els."'
In the Outlook,
Rabobank's FAR team
takes an in-depth look at
issues that will affect the
global agricultural indus-
try in the coming year.
Below are highlights of
three key issues ad-
dressed in this year's Out-
look. Consumer Trends,
Animal Protein Exports,
and Biofuels.
Consumer Trends
The main consumer
trends affecting food pur-
chases are health con-
cerns, and increased de-
sire for premium prod-
ucts and for a greater va-
riety of products. With
the increased media at-
tention on obesity and as-
sociated health problems,
consumers are trying to
eat healthier foods, plac-
ing an increased focus on
items such as fruits,, veg-
etables and whole grains.
.Ai :Additionally, as
household disposable in-
come increases and free
time diminishes, con-
sumers have an increased
desire for better quality
and more convenient
products that command
higher prices. For exam-
ple, according to
Rabobank's Outlook, one
of the results of this
trend is the increase in
sales of specialty items
such as fresh-cut fruits
and vegetables. Between
1997 and .2006, fresh-cut
produce sales increased
by nearly 170 percent and
reached, an estimated
$13.4 billion in sales.
"Food retailers are ex-
pected to see continued
growth of many gourmet
and specialty items, even
if inflation continues,"
said FAR Vice President
Stephen Rannekleiv.
"Consumers can be ex-
pected to continue to
trade down for items of
lower importance and
continue to trade up for
products that they value.
Inflation or even a slow-
ing of the economy is
more likely to affect mid-
tier products than spe-
cialty items."
Animal Protein
Exports
The United States
meat (beef, pork and poul-'
try) industry is becoming
increasing reliant on in-
ternational consumers.
For example, in light of
record pork supplies, the
performance of U.S. pork
exports will remain un-
der the spotlight in 2008.
Specifically, China
has been touted as the
next big opportunity for
U.S. pork exports and is
likely to become especial-
ly important given the re-
cent decline in exports to
Mexico, traditionally one
of the most important
markets for U.S. pork.
While the Chinese gov-
ernment has implemented
myriad measures to stim-
ulate domestic produc-
tion, prices are expected to
remain historically high
for the next 12 months, be-
cause the Chinese pork in-
ventory is barely keeping
up with current demand,
while demand continues
to increase. and demand
too strong. Additionally,
while a devalued dollar
will assist U.S. pork ex-
porters in China and other
export markets, competi-
tion is also expected to ac-
celerate. U.S. poultry leg
quarters are a very price
competitive protein
source in the Chinese mar-
ket, and two other pork
producing countries, Ar-
gentina and Brazil, have
recently signed agree-
ments allowing them to ex-
port to China.
"Future export perfor-
mance will be influenced
by: U.S. dollar movements;
ongoing market access
constraints and trade re-
form; competition from
other meat exporters; cost
competitiveness; and the
threat of unforeseen
events, such as disease,"
said FAR Executive Direc-
tor Fiona Boal. "Despite
the fact that many, if not
all, of these factors are
outside of the control of
individual industry par-
ticipants, the U.S. meat in-
dustry should not lose
sight of the fact that the
benefits of exporting and
competing on the world
stage far outweigh the
risks."
Developments in
Biofuels
Within the United
States, feed continues to
account for most of the de-
mand in grains and
oilseeds but the most im-
portant driver of growth,
particularly for corn, con-
tinues to be the biofuel
sector.
In 2007, the enthusias-
tic attitude of the market
toward ethanol and corn
were tempered by caution.
Questions arose over is-
sues such as whether the
United States was ap-
proaching an ethanol sur-
plus, and whether levels of
transportation and, infra-
structure were capable of
servicing the ethanol seg-
ment.
"After a strong perfor-
mance in the 2007/2008 cal-
endar year, corn acreage
in the United States is like-
ly to dip slightly, as some
growers take advantage of
higher soybean prices,
and respond cautiously to
a re-adjustment of the
ethanol market struc-
ture," said FAR Vice Presi-
dent Michael Whitehead.
."However, as the ethanol
market in the United
States becomes more effi-
cient, and as U.S. govern-
ment support for biofuels
solidifies, a return to
strong corn acreage and
good prices seem likely."

The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) is a
nonprofit organization with more than 550,000 mem-
bers in 50 states, Canada, Mexico and 14 other foreign
countries. It supports scientific wildlife management
on public, private and corporate lands as well as wild
turkey hunting as a traditional North American
sport.
According to the website at www.nwtforg. "Since
1985, more than $258 million NWTF and cooperator
dollars have been spent on upholding hunting tradi-
tions and conserving more than 13.1 million acres of
wildlife habitat. Hunters have also benefited as the
NWTF has worked tirelessly to support our hunting
heritage and protect and promote laws that increase
hunting opportunity and safety."
One of these hunting opportunities was held dn

rett Poire, Sgt. David Harper, Chris Andrews, Police Chief Rick Davis, Sheriff Pete Bucher, (front, left to right) J.D. Coody, Bud
Leonard and Ricky Strickland had a ton of fun at the NWTFWheelin' Sportsmen event at theTwo Crow Plantation in Madison.
January 8 at the Two Crow Plantation, a 3000-acre
hunting preserve just west of Madison off US 90.
This particular event featured the Wheelin'
Sportsmen division of the NWTF Organized by a
group of volunteers under the direction of Florida
State Board member and local NWTF President Wally
Davis, the Wheelin' Sportsmen event "teams people
with disabilities with able-bodied partners as a way to
bring the beauty and excitement of the outdoors to
people with disabilities throughout North America."
Two Crow Plantation Manager, Bill Crowder, was
a very popular host, providing hunters, organizers
and guests a delicious barbeque rib lunch with all the
fixings, in addition to his role in making sure all the
logistics were just right. Dr. David and Virginia Rozi-
er of Macon, Georgia own Two Crow Plantation,
which is a favorite spot for turkey and deer hunting in
Madison County.
The NWTF also sponsors youth programs through
its Jakes' division and a concentration for women
through its Women in the Outdoors division. The
Hunter Safety program is among the core activities
provided to all membership as well. As far as the
Wheelin' Sportsmen, ongoing relationships have been
forged with a variety of agencies serving the needs of
Americans with disabilities, including veteran's ser-
vices and churches.
To reach the Madison NWTF, contact Wally Davis
at Farmer's Supply, 973-6260, or call 929-4562. The
combination of good stewardship, hunter safety and
sponsored events, especially for children, have com-
bined to make the NWTF the largest conservation
group in America today, not to mention a hugely pop-
ular resource for hunters everywhere.

Many fun-filled days have come to an abrupt end due
to an unfortunate encounter with a stinging insect. Fa
miliarizing yourself with all the varieties of these sin-
ister stingers may help keep you safe.
According to the National Pest Management Associ-
ation (NPMA), these fun stealers send more than 500,000
people to the emergency room annually and can show
up almost anywhere.
Yellow jackets, which have a yellow and black
face/head and patterned abdomen, are considered one
of the most dangerous stinging insects due to their un-
predictable and aggressive nature.
They build their nests in the ground or cavernous
areas, but frequently invade human space in search of
sugary and protein-rich foods. They sting repeatedly
when their nest is disturbed and reactions can be se-
vere.
Carpenter bees, which resemble bumblebees, do not
build traditional nests, but prefer to drill tunnels into
soft woods.
Over time, these tunnels can severely compromise
the structural stability of a building. Males are in
charge of guarding-the habitat, but only female coun-
terparts have stingers. Females will only sting if threat-
ened, but reactions to these stings can range from mild
irritation to life-threatening respiratory distress.
A lesser-known stinging insect is the velvet ant. De-
spite its misleading name, it is actually a wasp. With
short, brightly colored hairs (generally red and black),
they can be seen running in open areas. Females lay
eggs directly in the habitat of ground-nesting bees and
wasps. Only the males have wings, but what the females
lack in wings, they make up for in stings. Females use a
needlelike stinger to inflict a painful poke that can
cause allergic reactions.
The NPMA offers these tips for protecting your
health:
Wear shoes, especially in grassy areas.
Overseed grassy areas to get better coverage, as
this will deter ground-nesting insects.
Paint/stain untreated wood.
Remove garbage.
SKeep trashcans lined and covered.
SDon't swing/swat at stinging insects.
Seek immediate medical attention if stung, as
reactions can be severe.
If you suspect a pest problem or want regular
home inspections, contact a pest professional.
