Madison County Joins Other Counties In Opposing State-Mandated Textbook
Textbook Teaches Evolution As FACT, Not Theory
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The following statements
are taken from the Resolution
unanimously adopted by the
Madison County School Board
during their meeting on Janu-
ary 14. It is directed to the Sun-
shine State Standards for Sci-
ence.
RESOLUTION
Whereas, the Florida De-
partment of Education has
drafted and is now proposing
new Sunshine State Standards
for Science, the Madison Coun-
ty School Board opposes the im-
plementation of the new stan-
dards as currently presented.
Whereas, the new Sun-
shine State Standards for Sci-
ence no longer present evolu-
tion as theory but as "the fun-
damental concept underlying
all of biology and is supported
in multiple forms of scientific
evidence," we are requesting
that the State Board of Educa-
tion direct the Florida Depart-
ment of Education to re-
vise/edit the new Sunshine
State Standards for Science so
that evolution is presented as
one of several theories as to
how the universe was formed.
Whereas, the Madison
County School Board recog-
nizes the importance of provid-
ing a thorough and comprehen-
sive Science education to all the
students in Madison County
and to all students in the state
of Florida, it recognizes as even
more important the need to pre-
sent these standards through a
fair and balanced approach, an
approach that does not unfairly
exclude other theories as to the
creation of the universe.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED by the Madison
County School Board, Madison,
Florida, that the Board urges
the State Board of Education to
direct the Florida Department
of Education to revise the new
Sunshine State Standards for
Science such that evolution is
not presented as fact, but as one
of several theories.
According to the State De-
partment of Education, Execu-
tive Director Mary Jane Tappan
of the Office of Math and Sci-
ence facilitated two December
and two January meetings to

Meeting
Challenges And
Makes Believers
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
During a special session of the
Board of County Commissioners held
on January 10, Emergency Medical
Services Director Juan Botino and
Deputy Director Nathan Williams
came before the board to discuss the
repair and possible replacement of
several ambulances, as well as to dis-
cuss the policies governing non-emer-
gency transport.
Ambulance downtime has become
a costly and untimely problem for
EMS. According to excerpts from a
submitted report, "We have had two of
our units in the shop-now for one and a
half months." The report further
states that several of the units have
broken down consistently The prob-
lem is not due to the age of the units;
in fact one of the units is still under
warranty but simply hasn't been able
to be repaired satisfactorily
Among solutions, Botino proposed
the purchase of a new unit. EMS re-
ceived a grant for $23,575 for that pur-
pose and Botino requested the Board
provide an additional $24,500 to com-
plete the purchase. The BOCC unani-
mously approved the request.
Part of the issue is problems spe-
cific to Ford 350 ambulances, which is
the make of the units involved. Simi-
lar complaints have been reported na-
tionwide. Dodge manufactures the pro-
posed unit, which has a Cummings
diesel engine that Botino believes to be
the most reliable in the industry

Sam Stalnaker, Principal of the
Madison County Central School, re-
ceived a very warm and tearful wel-
come back from Superintendent Lou
Miller during the School Board meeting
of January 14. School Board Members
shared in the celebration and were no-
ticeably moved by the comments and
gifts Stalnaker presented.
Stalnaker just returned from a tour
of duty in Afghanistan and the commu-
nity, and especially school leadership,
couldn't be more thankful for his safe
return. In fact, it was noted that his en-
tire unit returned safely During the
opening prayer, Miller gave thanks on
behalf of everyone for the safe return,
followed by additional praise and
thanksgiving during Stalraker's presen-
tation.
Stalnaker presented two elaborately
encased American Flags that actually
flew over his troops while stationed in
Afghanistan. Each contained an awe-
some message that elicited a patriotic
pride from all in attendance. Chair
VeEtta Hagan accepted one on behalf of
the entire Board. The other was pre-
sented to Miller who proudly an-
nounced it would be placed prominently
in the meeting room.
Stalnaker will be resuming his re-
sponsibilities at MCCS over the next
few weeks, steadily ramping back into
the full activities that have been divided
among the four Assistant Principals
during Stalnakers's time overseas. The
owners and staff of Greene Publishing
join the Superintendent and the Board
in their warm welcome back to Stal-
naker.

MCDC Ensuring
Community
Participates In
Growth Planning
W(The bottom line is that we
need to ensure that the
residents of Madison County
come first in this process," Ed
Meggs pointed out.
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The Madison County Development
Council has a number of priorities go-
ing into its 2008 planning and practices.
One priority is by default, and there-
fore will be by design, the ruling guide
for the others. That priority is ensur-
ing that the community participates in
the planning and practices of the
Council.
Over the past adeade, local and
state-officialshave developed and been
presented with a ffitibtier of tools to fa-
cilitate and monitor growth. Common-
ly attached to the county's Comprehen-
sive Plan, each of these tools has its
merits, but ultimately they all converge
on one goal, that is to build and operate
the county according to the preferences
and guidance of its residents.
"The bottom line is that we need to
ensure that the residents of Madison
County come first in this process,"
Madison County Community Bank
President Ed Meggs pointed out. All
Council members agreed.
"Fortunately we can build on the
work we've done before and also utilize
some organizing tools that are offered
with the visioning process tied to the
Comprehensive Plan. Then when we
meet with the residents, we can get the
very most out of the time and discus-
sion," County Planner Jeanne Bass
added.
To facilitate these goals, a public
meeting will be held on February 19
from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Madi-
son County High School cafeteria. All
residents of Madison County are
strongly urged to attend. The views
and opinions regarding a wide range of
issues that make up the day-to-day life
of residents throughout the county are
not only welcome but also eagerly an-
ticipated.
Taking individual ownership of
group decisions can be a daunting task
when one is dealing with only a hand-
ful of participants, much less when or-
ganizing strategies for an entire county
But that is, in fact, exactly what the
Council is striving to achieve. And al-
though not everyone may agree on
every issue, the goal is that everyone
desiring to be heard will be and leave
knowing that community comes first.
Additional actions of the January 8
meeting included election of 2008 offi-
cers, with Cheryl Archambault remain-
ing as President, Allen Cherry as Sec-
retary and Gene Stokes as Treasurer.
There was also discussion regarding
the most effective way to organize the
Enterprise Zones and establish new
methods and facilitators for recruiting
commerce to Madison County

Justin Jamar McFadden Gets Eight (8) Years
On January 2nd. 2008, it was discovered that Mc-
Fadden may plead guilty by his Attorney, and Assistant
State Attorney, John Weed. If, he were to get 8 or less
years. I had a message on my answering service, from
Assistant State Attorney John Weed to contact his of-
fice, as soon as I received his message.

FaeppgB irtkdagj Daddy
My father, Bobby Bembry, will celebrate his 72nd
birthday on Monday, January 21. I hope that 2008 will be
a better year for him than last year was.
Last year wasn't all bad for Daddy After all, he
moved into the first new house that he had ever lived in
that year and the best house that he had lived in since
my family had left Monticello in 1986.
Daddy also welcomed his third great-grandchild into
the world last year, as my niece Morgan gave birth to her
second daughter, Catherine Lynn Taff.
Daddy was in attendance at church last year every
time the doors were open. The only times he missed
were when he was in the hospital or in rehab, recovering
from a broken hip. If he hadn't been hospitalized or do-
ing therapy, he would have been there then.
My father was at the revivals held at the church, the
peanut boil, the Christmas play and every special event
the church had. He would have been there for the
hayride and hobo supper and for the church homecom-
ing, but he was recovering from a broken hip then. I
know how badly that he missed it, however.
Daddy has set an example for me, my brother, my
two sisters, my nieces and great nieces and my nephew'
and great nephew to.follow with his dedication to the
church and his faith in God. For that, he deserves.all.the,
respect that-I and my familyca- give him. ...n
I pray that God gives Daddy great health and pros-
pers him physically, mentally, financially and spiritual-
ly during the next year.
Happy birthday, Daddy!

trip, I immediately went to the County Court House and
made contact with Weed, where I was told of the im-
pending 8 year deal. Thinking this was quite possibly
the best deal he could get, I felt hopeless, and said so.
The following, has me baffled. I was asked by this re-
ally cute judge, what I thought, McFadden should get.
After all, he was charged with "Burglary while armed".
One can get life, for something like this. I responded by
saying, "10 Years, or more". I'll not bore the reader with
the rest of that conversation, but when I left, this cute
Judge told the Defense Attorney, and the State Attorney,
that she would not accept less than a 10 year plea. Sev-
eral hours later, John Weed came to my store and told
my wife and I that Justin Jamar McFadden received the
8 year agreed to earlier. I wonder, what happened after I
left?
What are the real consequences for this action?
Everyone, in this county lost. Justin Jamar McFadden
will be out of prison in only 5 years. McFadden has been
in County Jail the last year and a half, therefore, he gets
time for that. McFadden will also get time off if he
500- Word Amendment
Is Not True Tax Reform
Dear Editor:
You should have an opportunity to vote for real prop-
erty tax reform. The 500-word amendment on the ballot
is not true reform and is likely to do more harm than
good.
The amendment will increase the inequities of the
property tax and could end the hopes for future compre-
hensive reform.
The real flaw in Amendment One is that tax savings
are not guaranteed and tax burdens will be unfairly
shifted with unpredictable results. Most of the relief
goes to those who need it the least (long-term Save Our
Homes property owners) while giving very little to those
that have seen their taxes rise the most (non-homestead
property). The tax burden will continue to be shifted to
new homeowners and businesses.
Florida can, and must, do better. Unfair taxes on
one group of taxpayers have an impact for all taxpay-
ers. The proposed constitutional amendment will make
a bad situation worse.
. 3 lTrue -property tax reform should greatly reduce the
tax disckepancies among homestead properties. Simi-
larly situated taxpayers should be taxed similarly Fu-
ture growth of property tax revenue should not exceed
taxpayers' ability to pay Tax relief should be targeted
disproportionately to those taxpayers that have shoul-
dered the burden of increasing property taxes.
If you want true reform, vote no and demand real
property tax reform. Sound advice when voting on
whether to amend the constitution is "when in doubt,
leave it out." This proposed amendment is not true
property tax reform. It is something "people will vote
for." It is not property tax reform.
Sincerely,
Jim Catron, Mayor/
Commissioner District 3
Reader Says, "Property Taxes
Are Out Of Hand"
Dear Editor:
On January 29, 2008, the people of Florida have an
opportunity to begin a reduction of
property taxes. Property taxes in Florida have become
out of hand and are hurting the property owners and
the State with such high tax rates.
The people have been told that if the tax amendment
does pass on January 29, services will be reduced. This
is nothing more than an old scare tactic that politicians
and bureaucrats always use to get voters to vote against
any tax reductions. Most of the ones who are against
this amendment are those who benefit directly from the
taxes of property owners, such as elected politicians, bu-
reaucrats who head up agencies, department heads, etc.
It is noteworthy that the counties, cities, and school
boards use tax money to hire lobbyist groups to work for
them to get additional tax money that they, the politi-
cians and bureaucrats, can use to hire additional people
in order to strengthen their base of voters to get re-elect-
ed.
The lobbyist groups for the county and city commis-
sions, the mayors, the school boards are, of course, all
for the defeat of the amendment because it would make
budget reductions necessary The elected officials and
appointed bureaucrats who live off the property tax rev-
enue have made no effort to reduce their spending and,
in fact, bemoan the fact that they do not have more to
spend.
The amendment that is on the ballot January 29,
2008, is not the complete answer to the property tax
question, but it is a start.
I believe Thomas Jefferson said, "The government
that can give you everything can certainly take away
everything you have."
Sincerely,
C. T. McWilIiams, Jr.
brushes his teeth, ties his shoes, and plays well with oth-
ers. But then, I would wager with anyone, McFadden
will, be back in prison, in less than a year, after being re-
leased.
What will happen next? In less than six years, we
will have three former Madison county residents,
Justin McFadden, Corry Johnson, and O'Neal Robin-
son, back on the'streets of Florida, causing mayhem.
However, this time they will be bigger, smarter, more
street smart, and more dangerous. Remember, these
model citizens stole 30 firearms on July 4th. 2006. Eight
of which are still out on the streets. These wonderful
residents know where these firearms are, and refuse to
let the authorities know where, or whom, has them.
These firearms were stolen for one reason and one
reason only They were to be used to enhance their crim-
inal activities, having firearms in their possession, gave
,them the upper hand over those that don't, thus, they
have easy prey on whom to plunder.

Living With Little People:
Part 2
This is the second part of my series. "Living with Little People."
This segment was written in June 2006, eight months later than the
first.
This month, Trinity and Karic will be two years old
and Donovan is now 17 months old, which gets him
caught up with where we started with the other two last
week. There is still never a dull moment at our house. It
just keeps getting better. We are on the border now of
what people call the "terrible twos." Oh, it can't be that
bad, right? But three almost two-year-olds, well, that's
just plain fun. All three are walking, two are running, it's
a zoo. The families are celebrating Trinity and Karic's,
birthdays together on June 17. That date falls between
the two birthdays as they are only three weeks apart.
The last eight months have been filled with several
more amazing feats with these children. We still feel they
are little geniuses. Their language has improved drasti-
cally They are now learning colors, shapes and numbers.
They recognize people and now know most of them by
name, including aunt and uncle prefixes. They affiliate
the word, doctor with pain and it upsets them. They have
moved up from ride on toys to battery powered vehicles.
They enjoy playing in the outside play areas and most of
the time know where they are allowed to play and stay
there. They have mastered the stomp and throw stuff
tantrum antics. But they quickly find themselves in time
out or being ignored until they stop. It is hard to punish
them without laughing at their responses sometimes and
hearing their argument proving no wrongdoing on their
part. You can't be mean to them sometimes when they
are so darn cute. They have mastered feeding them-
selves. They know that the food may be hot at first and
they wait for it to cool down. They are trying real hard
with potty training, if they mess the diaper, they even
bring you a new one to let you know it's time to change
th4m. They have great imaginations and play make be-
lieve for long periods of time. They even want you to in-
teract with them by eating and drinking what they have
prepared, or talk on the phone to whoever they are talk-
ing with. Keeping this week short so that I can share
some of my favorite pictures of these little people with
you. Next week, we jump ahead about a year ahead and
have yet another surprise.
See you next week!!

Healthy Weight Week Gives
A Different Perspective
Our culture seems preoccupied with dieting and
thinness; the idea of promoting health is often lost.
Healthy Weight Week, January 20th 26th, reminds peo-
ple of the value of a healthy non-diet lifestyle and en-
courages us to move ahead to improve our health in pos-
itive ways. It celebrates normal habits that prevent eat-
ingand weight problems, rather than intensifying them.
I always say diets are like budgets, they are restric-
tive and often don't work. Instead of checking the scale
every day, a positive approach might be to focus on a
healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is all about balance.
If your goal is weight loss in the New Year, focus on a
healthy weight, for your own personal body type, not
thinness.
According to Lynn Paul, Extension Specialist with
Montana Extension Service, it is better to think about
achieving better health by keeping your approach sim-
ple rather than concentrating on a diet. She suggests
working on small changes because they are easier to
maintain and they can make a big difference over time.
Simple changes, like eating breakfast or taking a ten
minute walk, can energize your life.
A healthy lifestyle approach is about balance. Mak-
ing small, lasting changes can help anyone reach their
healthy goals. If your goal is a healthy weight, you need
simple ways to balance food with activity The problem
is that people often think that they have to eat perfectly
or spend an hour at the gym in order to get fit. Paul says
healthy is not an all-or-nothing proposition; it is about
maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative.
For example, moving toward your healthy goals
means maximizing the time you spend walking and
minimizing the time you spend sitting. For some, it may
mean drinking more water and milk rather than soda
and coffee.
Extension Specialists emphasize it is easy to give
your body the nutrition and physical activity it needs
anytime, anywhere. From early morning to late night,
all it takes are small, simple changes in your everyday
food and fitness choices. Try adopting one or two
changes and practice themuntil they become a habit be-
fore adding more.
What diet test? Eity'variety'of foods from :all f
the food groups supply you with the wide range of nu-
trients your body needs. Fruit, vegetables, whole grain,
low-fat dairy, lean meats, legumes and plant proteins are
needed each day Eating three regular meals each day
with a smart snack choice will keep your body fueled for
the day
Don't forget physical activity every day is part of the
total picture. All activity counts, so park your car at the
end of the parking lot or take a 10 minute walk at lunch.
On the weekend, tackle those household chores you have
been putting off they burn calories. Get the kids or
grandchildren together for an outdoor game or activity
When you are busy having fun, you don't realize its ex-
ercise.
Small changes in food selection and activity are the
best way to go for a healthy lifestyle when you are trying
to achieve a healthy weight for your body type. For more
information on nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices,
contact the Madison County Extension Service.

Happy New Year? Yes or No?
Allow me to ramble while sitting at my keyboard,
reminiscing about the year just past, the promises made,
some kept, some lost.
Seems we're always saying "good-bye" to the "old"
year. I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say that they
were sure going to miss it. Like when it turned 2007, I
didn't hear anyone say, "sure going to miss 2006!"
There's a message there. Are we always glad to get
to the end of a year? Will we ever be heartbroken to see
a year close? It appears that t7e majority of us have
"tough" years and we celebrate their passing. Almost
like the way we celebrate the end of car payments.
Yet, somehow, we always muster the enthusiasm to
say hello to our new year.
I've already found myself trying to have a good atti-
tude about a new year. You know, a fresh new start, new
beginnings, great new ideas and adventures. Basically
the same thing I told myself twelve ,months ago, and
with the coming of many new years in the past. I like
being a positive thinker. It's more fun than being nega-
tive, at least for me.
But the truth is, even positive thinkers have lousy
years. I'm glad that 2007 is now of the past. But I'm
thankfulthatfLlived through .itt It was .very,veYry diffi-
cult year for me personally However, I've bee* blessed.
with far more good years than bad. And I' know that
some people, probably many people, are far less fortu-
nate than what I am.
Murphy was my partner in 2007. You'll remember
him as the guy that taunts us with sayings like, "If it can
go wrong, it will." I've been working to outsmart Mur-
phy most of my adult life. He's tough to deal with,
sneaks up on you if you let your guard down. But, Mur-
phy and his incestuous laws help to make us smarter
and work to keep us humble.
I came up with a slogan while doing Christmas cards
this year. I signed each of them with, "Here's to a Great
2008!" I'm not sure if it was a clever quote or a solemn
prayer. I'm hoping that 2008 will be a kinder and gentler
year for my friends and my family
However, you know how you feel when you sense
that something good is going to happen? Well, I'm feel-
ing it, but this year I'm feeling it more because of where
I am and the dues that have been paid in the most recent
years. I'm also feeling it because of the work that has
been done by others to insure that where we live contin-
ues to grow and get better for us all.
There is a lot to be excited about for 2008. We have a
team of leaders in our county that actually like working
together as a team. There is a new feeling about the
community, a feeling like good is happening and is going
to continue to happen. There is a good, positive energy
that is flowing and it is contagious. New construction
dots our landscape representing opportunity for resi-
dents old and new. Life is good. Sure, we're all fighting
factors that we can't control like gasoline prices, a rocky
real estate market and others. But the fact is we're fight-
ing! And we're going to win!
But let us not become complacent or apathetic, can-
cers both. It took much hard work and effort to give us
a good start to 2008, but it will take even more work and
hard effort to insure a positive beginning to 2009.
The Madison County Cowboys 2007 football team has
taught us all a very good lesson. If you have good lead-
ership, you follow them. If the leadership has a plan,
you work the plan. And if you win a big one, that is fan-
tastic. But victory is not something that you can keep.
It must be earned over and over again.
A Little Pat On The Back
From Old Man Winter
Good morning! A little pat on the back from Old Man
Winter this morning, eh? More than angry, though. To-
day, while looking overcast, is rather springlike and the
birds, which have been missing since construction was
underway here (they didn't like the sawing and the ham-
mering) are back. This morning was a welcome sight as
jaybirds, cardinals and finches flitted about. Not expect-
ing them, we were out of birdseed and they let us know
it!
We enjoyed a big football weekend along with Char-
lie's birthday -- he and Mona and Vicki came up Friday
to watch the Jaguars and Patriots in a very well-fought
game. The Jaguars had the Patriots worried by halftime
and played great the entire game; however, shortly be-
fore the end of the last quarter, Tom Brady's skillas a
quarterback proved his reputation is well-deserved and
it was "crying time" in Jacksonville and we joined them.
Still, a bright note was watching Brett Favre win as
the Green Bay Packers dashed the hopes of the Seattle
Seahawks in the opening game Saturday afternoon. We
also enjoyed the fried chicken and snacks Vicki had
brought and the Jaguars decorated birthday cake. Pam
of Harvey's deli did a beautiful job on that, it tasted
great. The next day was a busy one, though, as Charlie
and Mona took on the unwelcome task of removing,
rolling up and packing away the many outside Christ-
mas lights and decorations while Vicki took all of her
beautiful -- and expensive -- Victorian ornaments and
other decorations off the tree and packed them, the tree
and all of the Christmas villages and manager occu-
pants, lights and snow all away for another year. That
day, Christmas was finally over. Now, we await St. Valen-
tine's Day
And, we finally have Archie's open again and run-
ning strong. Under the capable management of Sue Wat-
son, who is also the proprietess of Falmouth Crossing
on Highway 90 in Falmouth, Lee residents (and many
more) can finally enjoy again the good and tasty food
that has always been Archie's fort. The restaurant has
only been open two weeks but is holding up the Archie's
reputation of being very busy
A ribbon cutting will be held on January 25 at 10
Another new restaurant in the area is the Sincerely
Jamaican just east of Macedonia. Owned and operated
by Elise Dawkins, it is a part of the three businesses,
which the Dawkins family operates.
Since we've made you hungry, we'll change the sub-
ject. Please welcome Christopher and Barbara Sapp into
our Pine Trace Subidivison. We're told the Sapps have
built a beautiful new home there and we invite them to
call us if they would like any information on what peo-
ple do in Lee. Of course, we've been here since '84 and
still can't find any pinochle players.
We were sorry to hear today that Simon Kinsey had
to return to the hospital, hopefully for only a couple of
days because of a kidney infection, which, hopefully,
will be found to be a minor one.
We were also shocked to hear of the demise of Linda
Swann, our Lee librarian. We knew of her battle with
cancer but did not think she was losing it. Linda was
good and very well thought of by her library patrons
and many friends. She now joins the ranks of those
whom we have loved and lost. Memorial services will be
held at Lee Methodist on Saturday. Call 971-5585 for the
time.
Please mark the following dates on your calendar:
February 22, a blood drive at Lee Town Hall (blood
supplies are in serious short supply)
February 2, Lee Volunteer Fire Department Fish
Fry, 4-8 p.m.
March 1, Lee Volunteer Fire Department Garage
Sale, booths available for $7 each
Call 971-5867 for more information for on all three
events.
We leave you now with our definition of the word
boredom which is selfishness. We had intended to write
this column on why So long for now.

most missed the initial
invitation because the an-
nouncement and adver-
tisement of the meetings,
which were held in Talla-

On 8/1/87, the victim was
found murdered in the car-
port of 702 Campbell St. in
Madison County. Initial
investigation revealed Wil-
liams collapsed in the carport
of this residence but the ini-

the house; Evidence sug-
gests a suspect was injured
during theconfrontation.

Following the first
two meetings, accusations
were levied that the DOE
was attempting to sneak
this very controversial is-
sue by the public by limit-
ing the announcement, so
prior to the last two meet-
ings, the DOE put adver-
tisements in the Jack-
sonville and Ft. Laud-
erdale papers. There was
no specific mention of the
new introduction or defi-
nition regarding evolu-
tion; so many are now
scrambling to have their
voices heard on the issue
since the changes are not
yet official.
The State Board of
Education still has to ap-
prove the changes, which
will be included in their

EMS
continued from page 1 A
the transport of non-emer-
gency patients, which ac-
tually arose out of the de-
partment's commitment to
effectively serve the needs
of the county For in-
stance, medical patients
and nursing home resi-
dents often request a re-
turn ride following treat-
ment. However, because
this return trip no longer
qualifies as emergency, the
transport is not covered by
instance such as Medic-
aid.
Other' transport ser-
vices, namely Big Bend
Transport, are contracted
for this category of taxi
type transportation. Un-
fortunately, the arrival
time of these transports is
often excessive, typically
leaving the patient waiting
for hours due to the limit-
ed number of taxis cover-
ing the region. The bot-
tom line is that Medicaid,
among others, refused to
pay and numerous billings
for the non-emergenoy
transport have gone un-
paid and EMS can no
longer operate as a com-
plementary service.
"We regret that we can
no longer perform this'
function, although we will
definitely continue the
timely handling of all cat-
egories of emergency
transport. As we get the
transport and ambulance
issues worked out over the
next few months and then
combine these improve-
ments with the progress
we recently detailed dur-
ing the BOCC Annual Re-
port, EMS will be stronger
than.ever," Botino added.
On a separate issue,
but certainly one central
to illustrating the current
quality of Madison Coun-
ty EMS services, this re-
porter received a call on
January 9 from Florence
Bishop tearfully and pas-
sionately praising two
EMS personnel. Bishop
was the victim of a horri-
ble and highly unusual ac-
cident that occurred dur-
ing a visit to the power
company where she went
to pay a bill.
S5 Miles West of Marianna, FL
on US Hwy 90

Pulling up next to the
building, Bishop opened
the door to step out. Not
realizing that her vehicle
was not in park, being in
reverse instead, she
opened the door. Placing,
her hand along the door
edge, she turned to step
out of the vehicle. When
she took her foot off the
brake, the car suddenly
rolled backwards, severely
crushing her hand be-
tween the door edge and
the wall it struck rolling
back.
"It was horrible. It
practically cut off my fin-
gers when it hit, then the
EMS guys arrived and
they were incredible.
"There were even fire
ants climbing all over us
while they treated me.
Then, while driving me to
the Tallahassee Memorial
Hospital trauma unit, they
had to pull over to cut off
my rings, the swelling had
gotten so bad. 'I owe so
much to them that I don't
know where to begin. Re-
ally, I can't thank them
enough. I also want every-
body to be careful and al-
ways make sure their cars
are fully in park before
they step out. But mostly,
I want to thank the guys
who did so much to help
me. Their names are Chad
Thomas and Lucas
Williams," Bishop ex-
claimed.

Guarding Against Identity
Theft
By Tyrra B Meserve
Greene Publishing, Inc.
At the Kiwanis Club meeting, Thurs-
day, January 10, the main topic was that
of identity theft. Though typically more
of an issue with seniors in the past, the
cyber age has enabled the issue of identi-
ty theft to become more main-stream.
More individuals are finding themselves
faced with the daunting challenge of
proving to their banks and financial in-
stitutions that they are indeed who they
say they are. Innocent until proven
guilty does not apply in the case of iden-
tity theft and it can take years to unravel
the damage one misplaced credit card
can do. Learn how to protect yourself be-
fore someone that is pretending to be you
takes you to the cleaners, according to
Davis.
Identity theft, not to be confused
with fraud, describes the. crime involv-
ing the actual assumption of another's
identity Whereas fraud, usually a one-
time occurrence of the thief trying to
pass a check or charge, tends to be an
isolated crime, in the instance of identi-
ty theft, the thief will assume your
name, social security number and other
identifying information to commit fraud
and other crimes multiple times until
caught. The thief borrows your credit,
gaining access to your accounts or open-
ing new ac-
counts in
your name.
They are
then able to
run up
enormous
bills, often not being discovered until the
victim of the identity theft applies, and
then, is denied for credit themselves.
Identity thieves are able to obtain
personal information by several differ-
ent means. Ranging from simple, to ex-
tremely clever, there are several methods
that you should be aware of. By taking
some basic precautions, you may be able
to stop a thief before finding yourself a
victim.
Stealing mail is an easy way a thief
can gain access to personal information.
An unlocked mailbox holds a wealth of
information about an individual. Incom-
ing mail contains applications for pre-ap-
proved cards, bank statements and all
kinds of other pre-sorted information.
Out going mail contains checks that have
been sent for payments.
Be wary of any documents that hold
key information about yourself that you
just toss in the dumpster, a thief is not
above diving into you trash to get it.
Having someone looking over your
shoulder as you conduct transactions at
an ATM or any other debit machine
should make you cautious. A thief over
your shoulder could be making notes of
your PIN to use at their convenience.
Some have even been known to install
fake machines in place of the real Mc-
Coy in order to obtain vital information.
Make sure your alone are watching what
you are doing anytime your debit card is
involved, and don't forget your receipt.
Never give out personal information
on the Internet to any unsolicited sites.
Thieves will often use this approach to
trick victims into telling more about
themselves than they usually would. It's
a safe bet to say you did not win $50,000
in an overseas lottery; they probably
have something else in mind for your
money.
Ladies, and gentlemen, do not carry
all of your information on you. Women
are especially susceptible to this. Leave
those Social Security cards at home.
Memorize all the important numbers
you need and make copies of any credit
cards, front and back, to leave in a secure
place in case they get lost. If a lost credit
card is found along with its access code
written on it, a dishonest person can
take advantage that much easier. Just be-
cause it is possible to fit your life in your
pocketbook doesn't mean it's a good idea
to carry it around.
ureene runissngn nc. rnoio Dy uy lyrra I reserve, Jan. a, zuuu
A good idea is to check your credit at
least once a year. Look for any inaccura-
cies that may occur and report them im-
mediately if discovered. Carefully re-
view all bank statements and shed them
when finished. Again, report anything
that doesn't look right as waiting could
cost you money Be defensive with your
personal information and never give it
out to unsolicited callers or e-mailers. If
a company that your are doing business
with does require the information, dou-'
ble check that they do not release it to -
anyone else.
Keep a safe watch out for yourself
because there may be someone out there
waiting for rou to slip up.

What blessings they
both have been and are to
our church. He has
preached and taught a long
time, had health problems
and yet carried on and since
she has come among us
we've been truly blessed
with her love for the Lord,
her being a super tacher (in
school and Sunday School --
teacher of the Friendship
Class) and blessings on
them as they reach out to so
many with prayers, con-
cerns, cards, visits, her love
for missions and the mes-
sage, active in SAM, chair-
man of our Pastor Search
Committee, and with the
call for our new minister af-
ter much prayer, many
meetings, and all that went
with the job! We are thank-
ful for the final call of Dr.
Ferrell Morris anRd family.
We also give thanks for
Preacher Jake's daughter
and family Jean and Buddy
McWilliams, who are so ac-
tive in church. (Buddy never
fails to ask about Marjell
and always sends his re-
gards.) Marjell is maintain-
ing and we give thanks for
all love, prayers, concerns
for him and for all of us.
Bless you.
Many others are ill

them. Joy Gensel is now in

NFCC's Phillip Taylor Is
Mr. Science Guy For
New Testament Students
For the past three years, Phillip Taylor, math instruc-
tor at North Florida Community College, has been the
science connection between New Testament Christian
School and NFCC.
Just about every week he has donated time and talent
to bolstering science awareness at the small school in
Madison County "I saw an opportunity to fill a few gaps
and have some fun, while doing community service and
promoting the College at the same time," said Taylor. "I
wear my NFCC ID badge even when reading to the
kindergarteners." Taylor, whose children attend the 90-
student school, volunteers his time.
"The kids call me Mr. Science Guy," Taylor is proud to
add.
Taylor does science demonstrations with first, second
and occasionally third grade students. The latest project
was a series of rocket launches just before the Christmas
break. Taylor calls the rocket launches the "Wow" factor.
Students helped Taylor set up simple, one-stage rock-
ets and thrilled as the rockets soared almost a hundred
feet into the air. The exercise presented a teaching op-
portunity while capturing the attention of the students.
Taylor credits his colleagues at NFCC with helping
the ongoing science effort by lending materials. Dr. Greg
Molnar loaned Petri dishes for bacteria cultures, Dr. Tony
DeLia loaned VanDeGraff generators and magnetic
equipment for physical science experiments and Terry
Zimmerman, sponsor of the NFCC, Sentinel Rocketeer
Club, supplied small rockets and launch materials.
New Testament principal is Elaine Doyle and the di-
rector is Charles "Mickey" Starling. Starling is also an
adjunct instructor for NFCC adult education.
For more information, contact NFCC College Ad-
vancement at 850-973-1683 or email news@nfcc.edu.

Capital City Bank Supports Excellence In Education
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
On January 3, the
Madison County Founda-
tion for Excellence in Edu-
cation kicked off the New
Year by accepting a $2,000
donation from Capital City
Bank. The donation will
be used to purchase a
scholarship for a qualified
student through the Take
Stock in Children Scholar-
ship Program.
Take Stock in Children
is a comprehensive pro-
gram that helps children
succeed by providing them
college scholarships, vol-
unteer mentors, student
advocates and tutoring
among others. High stan-
dards, parental involve-
ment, and community sup-
port are crucial to the pro-
gram's success. It is rapid-
ly building a track record
of helping children stay
out of trouble, graduate
from high school, attend
college and become pro-
ductive citizens.
In addition to its sup-
port of the Take Stock In
Children Scholarship Pro-
gram, the Foundation
works in Madison County
to support teachers and
promote community in-
volvement in improving
education. The Founda-
tion also has' $500 mini-
grants available to teach-
ers to assist in reaching
these onals as well as the
Teacher of the Year award.
Faye Browning, the
President of the Founda-
tion, joined Clerk of the
Court Tim Sanders, who
also serves as Vice Presi-
dent of the Foundation, ac-
cepting the donation from
Madison and Jefferson
Capital City Bank Presi-
dent Bill Gunnels. Assis-
tant VP Market Leader
Darlene Hagan coordinat-
ed the handoff.
"We are so apprecia-
tive of the support we've
received from the commu-
nity. This $2,000 will pro-
vide another Take Stock in
Children Scholarship. It's
so important that we sup-
port students that need it,
especially when these
great kids are willing to
commit to the high stan-
dards of the program,"
Browning stated.
Madison County Take
Stock in Children Pro-
gram Coordinator Jo
Willis passionately agrees
with Browning's view.
"We now have 76 students
in the scholarship pro-
gram with 21 slated to
graduate from Madison
County High School this
year. The process starts as
early as fourth grade when
school officials and teach-
ers begin contacting par-
ents.

leads to the assignment of

ecution of a contract with
the student and their par-
ents," Willis noted.
The process doesn't
stop there, however. It's
really only the beginning.
As the description of the
objectives regarding the
program imply, each qual-
ified student must exhibit
excellence in both acade-
mics and community citi-
zenship as he or she pro-
gresses. In effect, this
continued positive
progress qualifies the stu-
dent for the Florida Pre-
paid College Plan, which is
purchased with the dollars
brought in by the Founda-
tion for Excellence in Edu-
cation and delivered
through the Take Stock in
Children program.
It may sound a bit con-
fusing, but it is actually an
example of the results that
can be achieved, when
schools, communities and
government work togeth-
er. Effectively combining
these human and financial
resources is essential to
achieve the goals of the
Foundation and Take
Stock in Children project.
Recapping the progres-
sion, Capital City donated
$2,000 to the Madison
Foundation for Excellence
in Education who oversees
the money, ultimately us -
ing it to purchase a Pre-
paid College Tuition Plan,
either two year or four
year depending on the stu-
dent goals. Coordinators
in the Take Stock in Chil-
dren program facilitate the
selection, essentially de-
termining who receives
the scholarship based on
an application and review
process that begins as ear-
ly as fourth grade. Once
selected, volunteer men-
tors support and report
progress, interacting regu-
larly with students and
their parents until the stu-
dents successfully transi-
tions to college. There are
additional services for
substantial at-risk and dis-
advantaged situations as
well
In the end, the pro-
gram report card says it
all. Statewide, more than
12,000 students who might
have been unable to pur-
sue higher education oth-
erwise got the opportunity
to do so. More than $86
million in scholarships
have been awarded. 11,000
volunteers have logged
more than 841,000 hours,
facilitating the over 5000
students who have gradu-
ated from the program
since the first graduating
class of 1999.
