NFCC Announces
Mildred Smith
Bruner
Scholarship
Former legislator Ken Smitg
establishes fund to honor sister
The North Florida Community Col-
lege Foundation announced the estab-
lishment of the
Mildred Smith
Bruner En-
dowed Scholar-
ship, honoring
charter faculty-
member and ad-
ministrator
Mildred Bruner
of Madison.
Bruner's broth-
er, Kenneth B.
Mildred Smith Smith, busi-
Bruner nessman and
Bruner former state
legislator established the scholarship
fund.
Bruner's professional career spans
more than forty years, beginning in
1937 in Alabama and bringing her to
Madison County
A native Alabamian, Bruner holds
a B.S. from Montevallo College for
Women, a master's degree from
Auburn University and a Ph. D. equiva-
lent degree in education from Florida

,Groundwater levels are at the lowest levels since the Suwannee River Wa-
ter Management district was formed 35 years ago.
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
According to Don Curtis, Govern-
ing Board Member of the Suwannee
River Water Management District
(SRWMD), the area is now in Phase II
drought status. "It's the worst
drought conditions we've experienced
in the 35 year history of the SRWMD.
Of course, we do expect a correction.
But in the mean time, we have to take
steps now to conserve," Cui-tis stated.
"On February 14, we will speak to
the municipalities and execute a 90-
day public education plan. Southern
Florida counties, like Pinellas for in-
stance, have been in this situation be-
fore. So although it's not new to us,
and we certainly don't want the peo-
ple of Madison to be overly worried,
considering the substantial agricul-
tural demands, restrictions may need
to be introduced to preserve water for
everybody" he explained. In contrast,
Phase I just involves voluntary con-
servation.
By the numbers, the SRWMD has
a 12-month rainfall deficit of 15.1
inches and a 24-month deficit of 28.7
inches, causing alarming groundwa-
ter levels that measure only ten per-
cent of normal. Perhaps more alarm-
ing on a community and regional lev-
el though, is that over 100 Dry Well
Permits have been issued in the last
eight months. "Ten percent of the
permits we're issuing at SWRMD are
Dry Well Permits," Curtis went on to
say.
In December, SRWMD representa-
tives spoke to the major agriculture
water users and in January forestry
and major water users like Nestle
were addressed. The process has also
encountered an extra challenge, as
the drought has coincided with the
resignation of District Director, Jerry
Scarboro. And although a front-run-
ning replacement, David Still, has
been selected, the position requires
approval of both the Governor and
Senate.
There are several levels more crit-
ical than Phase II. Phase III entails
even more stringent conservation and
the final phase includes an Emer-
gency Order. Curtis gave no indica-
tion that those levels were eminent
and remained confident that Scar-
boro's resignation poses no opera-
tional problems. The Phase II decla-
ration is simply the first formal an-
nouncement and will hopefully go no
further with appropriate community
cooperation.

Jacob's Ladder'
Jacob Bembry
Columnist
Clark Kent Is A Wimp
I have decided what I am. I have tried to cover it up
for years, but I guess it's time that I admit it to myself
and to everyone else. I'm sure that the secret will shock
many, but to some, they'll just shrug their shoulders and
say, "Oh, that's all! I already knew that!"
What I am is a wimp!
I decided for sure that I am a wimp on Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 5, 2008. It wasn't a fight with another person that
made me decide I was a wimp. It was a fight with my
body, wracked with pain.
My friend, Rob Covell, calls me Clark Kent. I kind of
get a kick out of that, because everyone knows that
Clark Kent is Superman's, true identity It makes me
think that I'm Superman, even though I know the only
reason that Rob calls me Clark Kent is because I work
for a newspaper.
Last week, I missed three days in a row because of
the pain, but I still didn't think I was a wimp. Nope.
Clark Kent is Superman and that was what I was. I was
faster than a speeding bullet, strong enough to stop a
speeding locomotive...Look, up in the air, it's a bird, it's
a plane... it's Jacob and he's a wimp.
I returned to work this past Monday, still in pain, but
knowing that I needed to work and knowing that I was
needed at work. I was Clark Kent and I could get the job
done.
The pain seemed to be slowly going away until Mon-
day night, when it began. to eat and gnaw at me again.
Tuesday morning, my body, screamed at me not to go to
work, but my firm resolve refused to listen.
"You don't tell Superman what to do," I told the pain.
In the office, disguised as mild-mannered reporter Clark
Kent, my firm resolve began to ebb and the pain began
to increase.
"I AM A WIMP!" I feel like crying out, but I don't.
Maybe the pain hurts too bad for me to scream.
With God's help, Clark Kent (Jacob Bembry) is still
at work, realizing that he's not Superman. I have a call
in to my doctor, but my plans are to stay at work. Clark
Kent may have wimped out, but there's still enough Su-
perman left in me, thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ, try
and make it through another day of pain.

Bruner
cont from page 1A
1956 to 1958.
Bruner was among the founding faculty members of
North Florida Junior College when it opened its doors
in 1958. She taught biology, history and social science
and was the first director of financial aid. She later
served as college registrar, director of admissions and
advisor to foreign students.
A Feb. 16, 1959 article from The Timuquana Trail-
blazer described Mildred Bruner as someone who "con-
siders it a privilege and a challenge ...bringing out the
potential abilities and helping... students to attain max-
imum achievement."
Upon her retirement from NFJC in 1981, she said, "I
saw the need for an institution of higher education in
this area. It is a dream come true. Helping to lay the
groundwork was a gratifying experience. I leave with
the feeling that NFJC has performed great services to
the area."
She continues to support the educational dreams of
young people through an endowment gift dedicated to
scholarships for Take Stock in Children students who
will attend NFCC, providing a continuous source of
scholarships for years to come.
Bruner takes special pride in recognizing the poten-
tial of young people and revels in the successes of her
many students through the years. She has seen former
students become teachers, legislators, attorneys, judges,
ministers, business, military and community leaders,
including current NFCC president, Morris G. Steen, Jr.
She has been active in the Madison community
through the Madison County Historical Society, Madi-
son County Memorial Hospital Pink Ladies, Madison
Woman's Club, Garden Club, Delta Kappa Gamma and
the Madison Education Credit Union. She is also a dedi-
cated member of the Madison First Baptist Church.
What's more, she has traveled extensively, including a
European tour at the age of 80.
The Bruner Scholarship will be awarded annually in
May to students seeking an associate in arts degree at
NFCC. Students must be residents of Taylor, Madison
or Jefferson counties, be full-time students and main-
tain a 2.5 GPA.
For more information about this or other scholar-
ships and giving opportunities, contact Foundation Ex-
ecutive Director Gina Rutherford by telephone 850.973-
9414 or email rutherfordg@nfcc.edu. Scholarship infor-
mation .is available on the NFCC website at

Thompson
cont from page 1A
with honors in political science. He earned a bachelor's
degree and master's degree from KSU and began teach-
ing at the undergraduate level in Kansas.
Thompson served as athletic director and coached
basketball, cross-country, track, golf and his great love -
Iteftis. He taughtAn-erican' and Russian history eco:
nomics, government and current events.
Thompson was instrumental in helping establish
tennis and cross country competition at the junior col-
lege level. Highlights of his coaching career are the 1970
Division II tennis championship and assisting as coach
to the North Florida Junior College Sentinel basketball
team that led the nation in scoring.
Thompson retired from NFCC in 1987 and was listed
in the annual NFCC catalog as professor of physical ed-
ucation emeritus.
In a nomination letter for the Florida Community
College Athletic Hall of Fame, NFCC President Morris
G. Steen, Jr. wrote, "Coach Louis Thompson came to
NFJC with a strong background in tennis and a healthy
passion for all sports. As our basketball and track coach
during the 1960-61 season, Coach Thompson single-
handedly recruited players, scheduled games... conduct-
ed practices, provided transportation... paid for away
game meals out of his own pocket, managed, super-
vised, and coached the teams. Coach Thompson did all
of -this without an assistant coach."
Fellow instructor, Joe Akerman, NFCC history in-
structor, described Thompson as "in every way the com-
plete teacher."
Thompson's wife, the
former Virginia Glotzbach
of Marshall, Kansas, also
was employed by NFCC
and retired after 22 years
of service.

Valentine'
Day
Love is in the air this week as many are thinking
about their loved ones and preparing for Valentine's
Day. For some, this holiday is just another day. Others
may be celebrating an anniversary. Some may be expect-
ing extravagant gifts like long-stemmed roses or dia-
mond jewelry Some may expect gifts like candy, a spe-
cial dinner out, or simple gifts.
Myself, I don't really expect any extravagant gifts.
My husband's gifts are usually more practical, like
small appliances or something for the house that I would
like to have. Sometimes, he buys me some bedding
plants for my flower beds. As they will continue to strive
and survive for months or years, instead of dying with-
in a week or less.
We have celebrated more than 30 Valentine's Days
together. In the early years, he would buy fancy heart-
shaped boxes of candies, he also let, the children help
him pick them out. I admit they were always pretty, but
I never really cared for chocolate candy too much,, so he
and the boys would eat the chocolate and I would save
the pretty boxes I don't ever recall receiving diamonds
or roses for Valentine's Day. My husband knows how
much I enjoy my gardens, so I was always pleased with
his tradition of buying me bedding plants, hanging
plants or rosebushes. I know I'm loved when he wants
me to be reminded by new flowers blooming every time
I walk out my door, not just on Valentine's day. I have
also been taken out to eat on Valentine's Day over the
years.
Love, in the traditional sense, has always been an
important part of our marriage, and has always been in
our home. Although love and marriage in this day and
age is different, there is love in everyone's heart, it is
meant to be given and shared with others, as many do.
Love comes from the heart, not the mouth.
Part of love is forgiveness, you will always have ups
and downs in any relationship, with spouses, significant
others, parents and children. The arguments and mis-
understandings, and disagreements, are all part of the
Love. They will all make the Love stronger. No one has a
perfect marriage, there is no such thing, but there is a
lot of strong love in this world and that's the best we can
hope for. My husband Kevin and I never claimed to have
a perfect marriage but our hearts have become one and
we are happy still, even after celebrating 30 plus "Hap-
py" Valentine's Days together and we feel we still have
more to come.
My Happy Valentine's Day wishes go out to my hus-
band Kevin, my children, my grandchildren and my ex-
tended family, as well as my readers and co-workers. So
,go out and catch some of that Love and pass it on to
everyone you see this week.
See You Next Week!!
I Hope Everyone Has A
Very Happy Valentine's Day!!

Focus On The Positive For
National Heart Month
February is National Heart Month, so this month I will
be focusing on food and lifestyle changes to help you and
your family reduce the risk of heart disease. Although we
have made improvements in recent years; the American
Heart Association is proud the number of deaths due to
heart disease has declined in recent years.
Heart disease is still the leading killer of all Ameri-
cans. We have always assumed that heart disease is a
man's disease, yet it claims nearly 500,000 women each
year more than the next seven leading causes of death
combined.
There are several risk factors that increase your
chances of heart disease such family history, smoking,
high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and excess
weight. A family history of heart disease is a risk factor
you can't do anything about, but there are several risks
you have control over. Healthy food habits can help reduce
three of the major risk factors for heart disease choles-
terol, blood pressure and weight.
The American Heart Association recommends the fol-
lowing to help you achieve and maintain healthy eating
habits.
Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. Choose 2 or
more cups per day
Include fat-free and low-fat milk products, fish,
legumes (beans) skinless poultry and lean meats.
Choose fats with 2 grams or less saturated fat per
serving, such as liquid and tub margarines, canola oil and
olive oil.
Balance the number of calories you eat with the num-
ber you use each day There is no magic formula it is calo-
rie in and calorie burned. Taking in more calories than
you burn will cause a weight gain. If you want to lose
weight, cut back on your food intake and increase your
physical activity A combination of the two will keep you
from having a hungry feeling all of the time while losing
pounds.
Maintain a level of physical activity that keeps you fit
and matches the number of calories you eat. Walk or do
other activities for at least 30 minutes most days of the
week. Limit your intake of foods high in calories including
foods like soft drinks and candies that are high in sugar.
Consume less salt. Use herbs and other spices to fla-
vor your foods. ,
These guidelines will not only 'improve your heart
health, but reduce your risk for other chronic health prob-
lem.

tion, contact the Madison County Extension Service.

year. Daughter Mona '
called us after the game
started and said she wanted to place a small bet on the
Patriots but couldn't find anyone to bet on the Giants
and would we so we took her on. We believe that Tom
Brady was so confused by all those sacks (since he was
usually so well protected) that he was thrown off his
usual complacence. We've never before seen him rattled
but he came close this time. We really would have liked
to see Kyle Brady a great Jaguar for many years win
a Super Bowl ring, though. Kyle is just a really nice guy
as well as still being an asset to the Patriots as he was to
the Jaguars.

Reality Versus Perception Teenage Drinking
The idea that local
teenagers drink regularly
is a myth. The Florida Cen-
ter for Prevention Research
(FCPR), partnered with the
Panhandle Area Education
Consortium (PAEC), con-
ducted a Teen Norms Sur-
vey over a 12-county area in
North Florida at the begin-
ning of the 2007 spring
term to evaluate the social
norms of local high school
students. The positive re-
sults of the survey will be
promoted during the 2007-
2008 school year to expose
students to their peers' true
attitudes toward teenage al-
cohol use in order to influ-
ence even more healthy be-
haviors.
The Teen Norms Sur-
vey given to students was
structured to determine ac-
tual student behaviors and
also what they perceived to
be 'typical' student behav-
iors. The actual students be-
haviors indicated statistics
such as: The majority of
students has not used alco-
hol in the last 30 days, plans
to date a non-drinker and
thinks it is wrong for people
under the age of 21 to
drink. An overwhelming
majority, in the 80 to 90 per-
cent range, cited that they
consume non-alcoholic
drinks when hanging out
with their friends.
The survey also con-
firmed that what students
considered 'typical' student
behavior was far worse
than the reality Students
were inclined to think that
most of their peers- were
drinking alcohol on a regu-
lar basis and thought it was
alright for people their age
to drink. Not so.
"This school year's so-
cial norms campaign seeks
to correct the mispercep-
tions high schools students
have about what 'everybody
is doing,' so that they are
aware their own good
habits and sound judgment
are the norm," said Rick
Howell, FCPR's project
manager for this high
school social norms project.
The common goal of all par-
ties involved in this cam-
paign is to ensure students
comprehend what their
true behaviors are in order
to effect healthy changes for
our area's youth.
The Florida Center for
Prevention Research devel-
ops and executes numerous
health care and youth pro-
grams throughout the state.
Originally funded by a por-
tion of a tobacco settlement
won by the State of Florida,
FCPR was established in
1998 through Florida State
University to support the
Florida Tobacco Pilot Pro-
gram, aimed at reducing to-
bacco use in Florida's
youth. Today, with the help
of other state government
entities, FCPR has expand-
ed its mission, "To provide
innovative research, educa-
tion, training, and techno-
logical solutions to address
the challenges of substance
abuse prevention and other
social issues among Flori-
da's population.

Paws first opened their
doors November 27.
Their mission is to
end the overpopulation
of pets while promoting
the humane treatment of
all animals. With ap-
proximately 40 to 60 pets
being treated each week,
Paws has already pre-
vented thousands of un-
wanted animals from be-
ing born only to be
turned lose or anes-
thetized.
"People can't take
care of all these un-
wanted litters," informs
Rooney, "not because
they don't want to, but
because they can't af-
ford to."
Animals that are
born to these families
who can't raise them are
either taken to the
pound where, if they
don't find homes, are
usually put to sleep or
they end up becoming
strays. Then, they be-
come feral and a nui-
sance to the community
"The vast majority
of cats we've seen so
far," Rooney states, "are
stray themselves. They
end up on someone's
doorstepthat takes them
in but can't let them
continue breeding only
to add to the growing
problem."
Keeping their cost
low, Paws allows pet res-
cuers turned owners to
affordably adopt and re-
sponsibly take care of
their foundlings.. Below
the cost of ordinary vet
bills, families that are
just starting out, or just
budget tight, can also
take advantage of Paws
to keep their pets
healthy and happy.
To make an appoint-
ment, or to get more in-
formation, please call
386-938-4092, or check
out their website at

Help the animals
that are there not create
more that can't find
care.

Mark Trammell Trio Makes
First-Ever Appearance
In Madison
By Bryant Thigpen
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The Mark Trammell Trio, of Gadsden, Alabama,
will be making their first-ever appearance in Madison
on February 8, at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, begin-
ning at 7 p.m. Admission is free, however a love offering
will be received.
Mark Trammell is a very familiar name in South-
ern gospel music, having performed with America's top
quartets, such as Gold City, the Kingsmen, and the
Cathedrals and trio, Greater Vision. Having performed
nearly 30 years, Mark is known for his unmistakable
smooth baritone voice.
Over 25 years ago, Mark Trammell, as a member of
the Kingsmen, shared the stage with one of southern
gospel music's best-loved tenor singers, Ernie Phillips.
Today, Ernie's son, Eric Phillips, sings tenor for the
Mark Trammell Trio. Like the others, Eric is very min-
istry-minded. "It's all about the message," he states. "I
want to be an encouragement to people and to share the
Word through song to unbelievers. It's very humbling,
yet, also very rewarding when someone tells you how a
song you've sung has been inspiring to them, or helped
them in some way deal with a problem or difficult situ-
ation." Phillips has been with the trio since its begin-
ning.
The newest member of the Mark Trammell Trio is
Dustin Sweatman. Dustin is twenty-two years old and
hales from Cumming. For the past three years Dustin
sang with the Dixie Melody Boys. He is not only a very
talented lead singer, but is an awesome keyboard artist
as well.
Steve Hurst is a renowned musician, instructor and
mentor to many of today's favorite gospel artists. He
has been involved in ministry for over 30 years. Steve
loved music as a child and furthered his training
throughout his schooling. He graduated from George
Peabody College for Teachers of Vanderbilt. Following
graduation, he began working as a music instructor for
groups and soloists as well as working in music schools
around the country He started the Steve Hurst School of
Music in 1992. Steve now travels with the Mark Tram-
mell Trio singing selected songs on each program.
A rich history of southern gospel music can be
found within the roots of the Mark Trammell Trio. To
learn more about the trio, please visit their website at
www.mnarktrammelministries. com.

Catch the Spirit At Madison First United Methodist Church
By Lilla Howerton
Isn't God magnificent? HE has been
loving, protecting and serving us for all
the years of our lives! This is so exciting
and all we have to do is receive HIM as a
gift, just like a child. We are no longer in
charge, (not that we ever were) God is, oh
how freeing... "The battle is not yours,

"Love one another" as Jesus taught.
Such beautiful flowers were placed in
church Sunday by Jean and Buddy
McWilliams in honor of the members of
the Senior Adult Choir and in apprecia-
tion for their nursing home ministry
Amen!
Thoughts of special people in our lives
brighten our days and warm our hearts.
We are so blessed to have so many loving,
caring, giving, praying people in our lives
- all Hospice people, all our family mem-
bers who love and help us and friends.
Debbie Bass blessed us, singing "How
Great Thou Art" with the words on the
screen. Will Rutherford, Deacon of the
Week, read Scripture and then gave the of-
fertory prayer. Lex Webb played "His Eye
is On the Sparrow" on the organ and it
brought to mind how Mother loved that
song. It was sung at her funeral by our sis-
ter Nancy's son, Stephen. Chancel Choir
sang, "In Christ Alone."
Mikenzi Plain became a member of
the church Sunday
Preacher's message was "Love One
Another" from John 13:33-35. We are to
reach out others, be gracious, be tena-
cious, be near to help as we can, for people
matter to God. Our lives do touch others.
The reading, "The Touch of the Master's
Hand" impresses us of the changes that
are wrought by the touch of the Master
and since He has no hands but ours, we
are to touch others. We are so blessed to
have our present preacher, while giving
thanks for all those we have had.
Wednesday, SAM group went to Jack-
sonville to visit the Blount Island Seaport
(the Seaman's Ministry), taking clothes

that have become worn and
new fixtures give the impres-
sion of looking cleaner and brightens up an otherwise
dingy or dark bathroom and kitchen. Here is a great ex-
ample of how a small example can reap big rewards.
Adequate closet space is a must on the list for most
buyers. If the home lacks closet space the owner can ei-
ther, add more or, simply put in a few additional
shelves. Adding space increases the value of the home
in the sight of the buyer.
Good lighting brightens a home and makes it look
more inviting on the market. Touch up a dark house
with sheer curtains and some strategically placed
lamps to give the home a touch of something special.
While brightening, also remember to remove dust kit-
ties and tuck away those family mementoes. Future
buyers should see themselves living there, not the old
homeowner.
In so many ways, it is the little things that count. By
adding a few simple touches, a home can sell quicker
and for more money than if it were to go on the market
"cold." In today's housing market, it is the little things
that can make a world of difference.
It's easy for new home-
owners to get caught up ex-
perimenting with wall col-
ors, new kitchen appli-
ances or exciting rec room
features.
But what happens
when a structural or elec-
trical problem arises in
your new house and a fresh
coat of paint just won't do?
Whether it's new construc-
tion or a century-old inher-
ited family home, no prop-
erty is exempt from interi-
or and exterior repairs or
dreaded tax assessments.
"New homeowners and
first-time buyers alike can
soon be faced with a virtu-
al money pit of unexpected
home repair and mainte-
nance bills," says-real es-
tate expert ..ida,Davis, au-
thor of the new bodk ";'The
First-Time Homeowner's
Survival Guide: A Crash
Course in Dealing with Re-
pairs, Renovations, Proper-
ty Tax Issues, and other Po-
tential Disasters."
"The more new home-
owners know about poten-
tial problems to look for
and what solutions to em-
ploy, the better prepared
they are 'to save buckets of
sweat, tears and money,"
stresses Davis.
Here are ten things
every new homeowner
should know:
If you didn't get a pro-
fessional inspection when
you bought the home, get
one ASAP to uncover prob-
lems lurking in unexpected
places. You can then plan
and budget appropriately.
Take an aggressive
and proactive approach to
problems that can let water
seep into the home. Small
leaks in the roof, siding
and foundation can quick-
ly escalate and max out
your credit card if not cor-
rected.
If your inspector
comes back with a list of
problems, first fix those
that can escalate and cause
more damage. Unfortu-
nately, many homeowners
tackle fun cosmetic items
first and let important
items like a bad roof slide.
Avoid cheap materi-
.s,. Quality primer and
paint, for instance, not
only goes on easier but
looks better and lasts
longer. This also applies to
flooring, tile, fixtures and
appliances. Quality is
much cheaper in the long
run.
Map out your electri-
cal system. This is espe-
cially important on older
homes. You need to know
what fixtures and appli-
ances are on which cir-
cuits. Overloaded circuits
are a leading cause of
home fires. Never' use a
higher rated fuse than the
circuit calls for in older
systems. Know where your
main disconnect switch is

located.
Walk around your
home in a heavy rainstorm
and note where the water
flows. Look for clogged
rain gutters, downspouts
and extensions that don't
route water away from the
foundation. This is a big
cause of flooded base-
ments, window wells or
crawlspaces.
Pay careful attention
to how your landscaping
routes water. It should flow
away from the foundation.
Make needed changes to
keep water away from the
home.
If you have an older
sewer system, have a
plumber visually check
lines with a small camera
.for. reaks,,. invasive .roots
or other problems. This is
especially important if you
have a full basement where
water backing up can
cause expensive damage.
For septic systems have a
professional inspection
and contract with a reli-
able contractor to have the
tank pumped as often as
needed.
Check hot and cold
water pipes for corrosion,
temporary repairs or other
potential problems that
can cause expensive dam-
age., Every few months
check the water heater,
washer hoses and connec-
tions, turn-offs for toilets
and sinks. Know where
your main water turn off
is located and keep it easy
to access.
In climates that have
freezing winters, make
sure cracks in concrete or
asphalt are repaired
promptly. Freezing water
will infiltrate cracks in
walks, driveways and
porches and cause exten-
sive damage.
No matter if you're looking to spruce up an older piece of worn wooden fur-
niture or impart your own unique style to an unfinished piece, you can bring
out the beauty of wood with accent stains.
"Staining adds color and character to woodby bringing out its natural beau-
ty, and you don't even need to be' an accomplished do-it-yourselfer to do a great
job," says Rich Morrell, brand manager for Cabot Stains.
"Used properly, stains accentuate wood, enhance the grain pattern, change
its appearance or even make it look like another type of wood to emphasize the
finer points in furniture, cabinets, moldings or other wood around your home,"
Morrell points out.
Accent staining in particular is a good technique to use when you want to
draw attention to the unique details of furniture or to highlight the variety of
wood species used on a particular project.
To help you get started on your wood staining project, Morrell and the ex-
perts at Cabot Stains are offering these helpful tips:
When applying an accent stain, try using a soft, lint-free cloth for maxi-
mum control in spreading the stain color onto the wood. Begin by dipping the
cloth into the stain and then apply the stain to the wood using a circular mo-
tion.
Finish by wiping the area with a clean cloth to get rid of excess and be
sure to wipe in the direction of the wood grain. After you wipe, if the piece of
furniture doesn't look dark enough to your liking, apply more stain, but be sure
to wipe again when done.
Choosing g a color, can be a daunting task but can be equallyrewarding.
From the rich warmth of wood tones, to the nature-inspired blue and green
stains, and even the popular and vibrant reds, the color possibilities are end-
less.
By combining traditional stain choices with exciting, new accent colors,
you can transform your woodworking project into a one-of-a-kind treasure.
"For a truly unique accent look, try blending colors together to create your
own special finish. Experiment with various colors and mixes, and be sure to
test the color on a sample piece of wood before you begin.
"When staining your own furniture you should make sure to choose a high
quality stain that will penetrate the wood evenly and ensure professional qual-
ity results. We developed Cabot Interior Wood Stains by blending the finest
grade oils, resins and pigments to always offer a consistent appearance and su-
perior depth of color that's easy toapply and control," said Morrell.

basketball schedule with
victories over Tabernacle

Gym on Friday, January 18.
The ladies started the
evening with a convincing
33-3 victory over the Taber-
nacle girls team. Using a
tenacious trapping defense
and aggressive inside play,
the Warriors forced the
Crusader offense to shoot
from the perimeter. Despite
a spirited effort from the
Crusader girls, they were
not able to keep pace with
the Warriors.
The Lady Warriors were

points and led the team
with 4 steals.
The men's team used a
20-2 run to open the game.
However, the Tabernacle
men fought back to close
within 12 at the half. At the
start of the second half, the
Warriors pulled away.
Guards Mike Rye and
Aaron Goyette combined
for 11 steals to finish off
the Crusader men, 65-29.
The Warriors were led by

Playing a local rival on a rainy Thursday evening, January 24, the Corinth Christian
Academy Warrior men's and ladies' basketball teams defeated the Latma Academy
from Madison at Lee Gym.
The ladies played first and once again jumped out to an early lead, using a 9-0 run
to dominate the~first quarter. However, the Latma ladies fought back in the second
quarter, closing the gap to 15-9. An offensive effort by the Warrior girls closed out the
first half with Corinth on top 19-9.
Latma opened the second half with a long 2 pointer, and forward Kayla Rye was in-
jured in a collision with another player shortly afterwards. An inspired Warrior team
rose to the challenge, dominating the inside game, forcing Latma into shots from the
perimeter.
Led by freshman Tiffany Phillips with 12 points and 13 rebounds, Corinth cruised in
the second half to a 43-17 victory. Sophomore Alayna Abbott contributed 10 points,
and Sharon Bontrager had 6 assists to go with 4 points.
After the girls game, the men took the floor for one of the most exciting games of
the year. Latma scored early and often, leading by as many as 7 points in the first half.
However, early foul trouble forced several of Latma's players to play conservatively,
and the Warriors stepped up their game, allowing Corinth to regain the lead for good
with just a few minutes to go in the game. Junior Jeff Taylor's key rebound of a
missed Latma three-point attempt sealed the game, with Corinth winning 66-61.
Sophomore guard Aaron Goyette had a career night, pouring in 50 points on 15 of
19 shooting and 20 of 34 free throws. Goyette also pulled down 19 rebounds. Freshman
Mike Rye had 9 points and 5 steals, while senior Aaron Beck had 5 points.
Corinth Christian Academy Men,
Women Declaw Grace Lions
By Tom Parks,
Corinth Christian Academy
On a night where the ball seemed big-
ger than the basket, Corinth Christian
Academy men's and women's basketball
teams proved once again that defense wins
games. Both the men's and women's bas-
ketball teams defeated the Grace Christian
Academy Lions at Lee Gym on Friday
night.
The women's team played first, and de-
spite not shooting well, led 12-1 at the end of
the first quarter. Kayla Rye blocked a shot
early in the second quarter, which ignited a
17-2 run for the Warriors. The first half
ended 30-5, and the Grace Lions never
threatened in the second half, due to the
tenacious defense that the Warriors have
shown all season.
The Warriors were led once again by
Tiffany Phillips, who recorded her third
straight double-double, scoring 18 points.
while hauling in 14 rebounds. Andrea Ab-
bott scored 12 points and dished out 4 as-
sists to go with 4 steals. Sharon Bontrager
and Kayla Rye had 6 points each, while se-
nior Marti Bray grabbed 12 rebounds to go
with 4 points.
The men's game was a dogfight from
Madison C
the start, with neither team able to main-
tain a lead. A tough Grace Lion zone de-
fense made it difficult for the Warriors to
use their inside game, and the Warriors
couldn't get a shot to drop. Despite shooting
only 31 percent from the field in the first
half. CCA led 25-19 at the break.
That lead evaporated in the second half
as both teams traded basket after basket.
With four seconds left in regulation, Aaron
Goyette sank a free throw to tie the game.
Goyette then saved the game for CCA when
he blocked a lay-up at the buzzer to send the
game to overtime.
The overtime period was just as hard
fought but the Warriors never quit. The
buzzer sounded with CCA in possession of
the ball, the lead, and the game, 53-51.
CCA was led by Aaron Goyette with 25
points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, while se-
nior Aaron Beck scored 12 points to go with
4 steals. Mike Rye, Jeff Taylor and Jared
Nichols each had 4 points, while Taylor and
Nichols pulled down 9 and 11 boards re-
spectively
CCA improved their records to 3-0. The
Warriors now hit the road'for their next
three games, starting February 7 at the Col-
isetun in Live Oak at 6 p.m. See you there!

In Corinth Victories Over Old Plank
Old Plank Christian School's.bus broke down while travelling to Lee gym to take on
the Corinth Christian Academy in basketball on Friday night. Then came the games.
By the end of the evening, the ladies' and men's teams from Corinth had improved
their district record to 2-0 after impressive victories over the Defenders from Jack-
sonville.
The lady Warriors played first and quickly demonstrated that they were on top of
their game. A 21-2 run early in the contest allowed coach Boatwright to substitute
freely, and all players saw lots of playing time. The lady Warriors have played excel-
lent defense all year, and continued to do so in this game, keeping Old Plank from dri-
ving to the basket. Although they played their best through out the game, the lady De-
fenders were defeated 63-17.
The Corinth Lady Warriors were led by Andrea Abbott, who scored 18 points on 9-
15 shooting, and also contributed 4 steals and 2 assists. Sophomore Alayna Abbott
scored 13 points, while Tiffany Phillips, Sharon Bontrager, and Miranda Mulkey each
scored 10 points. Both Miranda Mulkey and Tiffany Phillips reached double figures in
rebounds, with Mulkey grabbing 11 and Phillips getting 10.
Phillips also led the team with 7 assists.
The mens team played next, with Corinth breaking out on top with a 12-0 run. Sub-
stituting frequently, the Warriors maintained their advantage at the half, with the
half time score of 41-18. The Defenders never quit, and chipped into Corinth's big
lead. However, time ran out on the Defender effort, and Old Plank was defeated 59-44
on a cool Friday night in Lee Gym.
Sophomore Aaron Goyette continued his stellar play, scoring 28 points, including 8
for 8 from the charity stripe. He also distributed 6 assists, while snaring 11 rebounds.
Sophomore Jared Nichols pumped in 16 points, shooting 4 of 5 from the line, and
grabbed a team high 13 rebounds. Sophomore Zac Rye grabbed 10 boards, and fresh-
man Mike Rye picked the Defenders for 6 steals and four points playing in place of in-
jured point guard John Barrs Jr. Jeff Taylor and Austin Leslein also contributed 4
points to the total team effort.

The
Battle
of
Olustee
Early in the morning of February 20, 1864, General
Seymour's army left Barbers' Station and moved west-
ward towards Lake City Because of the necessity of post-
ing garrisons at Jacksonville and elsewhere, the Union
force consisted of between 5,000 and 5,500 men. The small
army was divided into three brigades of infantry. one
brigade of motuted troops. and supporting artillery
The Federals advanced in three columns along the
Lake City and Jacksonville Road, which ran roughly par-
allel to the Florida Atlantic and Gulf-Central Railroad.
The Federal cavalry was in the vanguard, followed by the
slower-moving infantry. By mid-day the Federals had
reached Sanderson, where they briefly stopped for lunch.
While it Sanderson. Seymotur and his staff were warned
by a defiant southern woman: '"You will come back faster
than you go."' The Union officers were amused at her
boldness.
In the early afternoon of February 20, a few miles
west of Sanderson. the advance elements of the Union
cavalry began skirmishing with a few southern horse-
men that appeared to their front. This skirmishing was
maintained for several miles, with the Federals driving
the Confederates westward towards the railroad station
at Olustee. about ten miles east of Lake City Southern re-
sistance intensified as the Federals neared Olustee.
In the days since the February 11 skirmish at Lake
City, General Finegan had moved his force to Olustee Sta-
tion. located about ten miles east of Lake City There the
Confederates found one of the few defensible locations in
the area where the railroad passed through a narrow cor-
ridor for dry ground that was bordered by impassable
swamps and bays to the south and a large body of water
known as Ocean Pond to the north. The Southerners
built strong earthworks and awaited the Federal ad-
vance. When Finegan learned of the enemy's approach
on February 20, he ordered his cavalry forward to skir-
mish with the Federals and to drive them towards his
main line. Unfortunately for Finegan. the fighting east of
his main line intensified, forcing him to send out addi-
tional troops to help those already deployed. A major en-
gagement soon developed about two miles in front of the
Confederate line.
As the skirmishing intensified, both Finegan and
Seymour fed additional troops into the battle. Finegan
advanced first the 64th Georgia and part of the 32nd
Georgia, followed by the 6th. 19th and 28th Georgia Regi-
ments, and Gamble's Florida Artillery. General Colquitt
commanded the detached units, while Finegan remained
behind with the main body General Seymour brought
forward the 7th Connecticut, followed by the remainder
of Hawley's Brigade, the 7th New Hampshire and the 8th
United States. By midafternoon the skirmishing has es-
calated into a major battle.
The battle threatened to turn rapidly into a rout for
the Federals. While Colonel Hawley was positioning the
7th New Hampshire, a wrong command was given and
the unit fell into confusion. The 7th soon collapsed, with
some men running to the rear and others milling about
in a disorganized mob.
The collapse of the 7th New Hampshire directed
southern attention towards the 8th United States Colored
Troops. which occupied the left of the Union line. The 8th
was an untried unit. having been organized only several
months before. Prior to Olustee the regiment had seen no
combat, and in fart the men were not even completely
trained. Colonel Charles Fribley tried to steady his men,
but he soon fell mortally wounded. The raw troops of the
8th held their ground for a time, suffering more than 300
casualties. Finally, however, they retreated in some con-
fusion. leaving the Confederates in virtual command of
the battlefield.
With the dissolution of Hawley's Brigade, General
Colquitt ordered the Confederate forces to advance. Since
the beginning of the engagement Finegan had sent addi-
tional units (the 6th Florida Battalion; the 1st. 23rd. 27th,
and the remainder of the 32nd Georgia Regiments: and
the Chatham Artillery) to Colquitt's support, so by now
the Confederate lines stretched for about one mile. north
to south. Colonel Harrison commanded the Confederate
left, and Colquitt the right, although the units of their
brigades were somewhat intermingled.
To stop the southern advance, General Seymour
hastily ordered forward Colonel William Barton's
Brigade of the 47th, 48th and 115th New York. The New
Yorkers stopped the Confederate advance, and the battle
lines stabilized for a time The Union commander would
later be criticized for reacting slowly to an increasingly
dangerous situation, and fordeploying his forces piece-
meal into the battle. In fairness to Seymou,; the battle-
field's terrain somewhat limited his options. The Feder-
als lines were bordered by swamps on both flanks so
there was little room to maneuver, and the field itself was
an open pine barren with little cover.
The fighting during this middle period of the battle
was particularly severe, with each side suffering heavy
casualties. During this seesaw combat, the Confederates
captured several Union artillery pieces and threatened to
overwhelmhn the Federal infantry Although the Yankees
were under intense pressure, at a critical moment the
surging Confederates began running low on amnununi-
tion. Men searched the pockets and cartridge boxes of
their wounded and dead comrades to obtain additional
rounds, but still the southern fire slackened. Several reg-
iments held their place in line despite being completely
out of ammunition. After what seemed to be an inter-
minable delay, ammunition was brought forward from
Olustee, along with the remaining reserves: the 1st Flori-
da Battalion and Bonaud's Battalion. General Finegan
also reached the battlefield at about this time.
With the arrival of these reinforcements, the Confed-
erates again began advancing. By late afternoon, Gener-
al Seymour had realized the battle was lost. To prevent a
rout and to cover his retreat, he sent forward his last re-
serves, Colonel James Montgomery's Brigade, which con-
sisted of the 35th United States Colored Troops and the
famous 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.-Mont-
gomery's Brigade stopped the Confederates for a brief
time, enabling Seymour to begin withdrawing his other
forces. One white veteran of the battle states: The col-
ored troops went in grandly, and they fought like devils"
By dusk, the Union forces had begun their long re-
treat back to Jacksonville. The 54th Massachusetts, the
Federal cavalry, and part of the 7th Connecticut covered
the withdrawal. Many wounded and a large amount of
equipment had to be abandoned in the hasty retreat. For-
tunately for the Federals, the Confederate pursuit was
poorly conducted, enabling most of the Yankees to es-
cape.
The southern cavalry led by Colonel Caraway Smith, was
particularly criticized for its lackluster performance.
That night the Federals retreated all the way back to Bar-
bers,. where they had begun the day. By February 22, Sey-
mour's battered army was back in Jacksonville.
The casualties at Olustee were staggering compared
to the niunbers that fought there. Each side had about
5,000 men present. Union casualties were 203 killed, 1,152
wounded, and 506 missing, a total of 1.861. Confederate
losses were 93 killed, 847 wounded, and 6 missing, a total
of 946. This works out to about 400o for the Federals and
20".. for the Confederates. The 47th New York had 313 ca-
sualties and the 8th U.S.C.T. 310. Among the Confederate
units. the 32nd Georgia lost 164 men and Bonaud's Bat-
talion 107. For the North, the casualty percentage was
among the highest of the war, aid Olustee ranks as the
third bloodiest for the Union when comparing the casu-
alties to the number on men engaged. Letters and diaries
from the men involved indicate that the battle was the
equal of. if not worse than, the savage fighting a number
of the veteran regiments had experienced in the cam-
paigns in Virginia or the Western theater.
A regrettable episode in the aftermath of the battle
was the apparent mistreatment of Union black soldiers
by the Confederates. Contemporary sources, many
from the Confederate side, indicate that a number of
black soldiers were killed on the battlefield by roaming
bands of southern troops following the close of the
fighting.
The Olustee defeat ended Union efforts to organize
a loyal Florida government in time for the 1864 elec-
tion. The Federals were somewhat more successful in
meeting the expedition's military objectives. Jack-
sonville remained in Union hands until the end of the
war, open for trade with the north; the operation had
undoubtedly disrupted the supply of Florida cattle and
other foodstuffs to the rest of the Confederacy; and the
increased area of Federal control made it easier for
Florida blacks to reach Union lines and for recruits to
fill the ranks of northern military units. Of course, all
of these objectives could have been met simply by the
occupation of Jacksonville and without the nearly 2,000
casualties suffered at Olustee.
Military operations continued in Northeast Florida
throughout the remainder of the war. Union troops fre-
quently raided out from Jacksonville to harass Confed-
erate supply operations. Captain J.J. Dickison of the
2nd Florida Cavalry earned fame during the period as
the "Swamp Fox" of Florida. In a series of minor yet
spectacular victories, and with only a small force under
his command, Dickison was able to thwart many of the
Union drives'into the-interior of the state., although the
Federal handed him a stinging defeat at the first "bat-
tle" of Gainesville. Despite Dickison's successes, by ear-
ly 1865 it was obvious that the defeat of the Confedera-
cy was near. In early March, 1865, the last military op-
eration of any significance in Florida took place. At the
Battle of Natural Bridge, a scratch force of Confederate
militia and home guard units, along with a few regular
troops, stopped a Union raid against St. Marks, on the
coast south o0 Tallahassee. When Tallahassee was final-
ly occupied by Northern troops in early.May, it was the
last Confederate capital-east of the Mississippi to fall into
Union hands. The Civil War was over. Thank God.

JAKES' Annual Event A Huge Success

Wally Davis, NWTF Director, welcomes Jacob Curtis

By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Between the shooting, raffle, exhibitions, prizes, re-
freshments and just plain fun, hanging out with neigh-
bors, the annual JAKES event was a huge success for an-
other year.
Sponsored by the National Wild Turkey Federation,
the event was held at the home of Vonnie and Wally
Davis, who is the local and state NWTF Director.
"The JAKES event gives kids seventeen and under
an opportunity to enjoy and learn about hunting and the
outdoors, as well as taking care of our forests, protected
lands, and the environment in general," Davis ex-
plained. "Between the archery, BB-gun, rifle and shot-
gun shooting, we tried to make sure it was a fun day for
everyone," he added.
There were approximately 100 kids in attendance at
the Madison event and over 200 in all. Lines moved
quickly, and under the careful supervision of volun-
teers, each child was treated to virtually unlimited
turns shooting the various weapons.
Later in the afternoon, the excitement really got
thick when a raffle was held for a kid's shotgun/rifle
combination. No purchase was necessary and all kids in
attendance received JAKES' gear. The big prize winner,
though, was Tyler Andrews, and of course, Tyler's par-
ents will have to comply with all the registration re-
quirements.
The NWTF started the JAKES program as a way to
give kids the chance to explore their outdoor world
through hundreds of fun events like the one just held in
Madison. And, if the Madison event is any indication, it
will be no surprise to see the NWTF remain the largest
organization of its kind worldwide for years to come.

joyed the annual JAKES event.
Greetings to all farmers, growers, and anyone who
likes to get their earthly hands dirty. Winter is fading
into the wings as Spring's brighter light takes the
stage. Soon it will be time to clean out those planting
sheds, dawn those gardening gloves and get to seed-
ing. Madison County is warming up nicely as Sol gen-
tly prepares the soil for toiling.
From cutting pea poles to testing buds, February
has plenty to keeps those hands from becoming idle.
The weather is taking a turn for the better with
only a few scattered showers due to arrive. Along with
sunnier horizons, temperatures should also be level-
ing out, leaving the days more comfortable and the
evenings less chilly. Now is an excellent time to clean
out those winter fire places, taking advantage of left
over wood ashes that can be spread around lilacs and
roses to help their growth and blooming come Spring.
The hungry Full Snow Moon will reach its peak
February 20. Use its first two quarters to perform any
tasks that require strength, growth and fertility. Start
repotTing and grooming houseplants to grow by the
light of the increasing moon. Graft fruit trees and test
seeds to sow from last year's stash before ordering
more. It is also a good time to cut poles for beans, peas
and other climbers.. With the rain abating, the bark
can be peeled off and the poles can be set out to dry
until they are later needed.
Peaches and other sensitive fruit trees can be test-
ed for freeze damage. Bring in a few twigs that have
been cut from the trees and place them in a vase of
water where they can get some sun. If the sprigs
bloom within a couple of weeks, blossoms can be ex-
pected in the spring and there will be a crop for the
coming fall.
Watch those houseplants, as they are sensitive to
overfeeding during this time of year. Instead they
need lots of sunlight and fresh air. Bathing plants fre-
quently that took the winter hard should help them
out of their gloom.
Lastly, do not forget to start shopping early for
seeds, that way the best choice of seed varieties will
still be available. If the household gardener has a taste
for colorful salads, seeds for ruby Swiss chard, purple
pod beans and red iceberg lettuce make good choices.
Enjoy the beginning trappings of Spring. Hang
tight and plant by the full moon's light.
