"GOD WINS MAJOR BATTLE BY A 4-3 DECISION"
Educators Maintain Evolution Is Just A Theory
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The Sunshine State Stan-
dards for Science were first de-
veloped and adopted 12 years
ago in 1996. Then in 2006, the
Florida Legislature passed leg-
islation that requires revisions
to the Sunshine State Standards
every six years.
In the round of revisions
that came before the State
Board of Education for ap-
proval on February 19, included
was the very controversial and
intensely debated issue of refer-
ring to the science of evolution
as something other than "theo-
ry," instead using language that
gave many the perception of it
being framed as "fact" or "law."
In May 2007, a committee of
31 "framers," comprised of
Kindergarten through 12th
grade science educators, includ-
ing Exceptional Student Educa-
tion (ESE) educators, communi-
ty college science faculty, uni-
versity scientists and faculty,
business leaders and private cit-
izens was assembled to help de-
cide what should be included in
the new standards.
Following the framers' feed-
back, Florida brought together
a group of 37 "writers," com-
prised of Kindergarten through
12th grade science teachers,
ESE teachers, district adminis-
trators, community college sci-
ence professors, university sci-
entists and professors of sci-
ence education, representatives
from the liberal arts, members
of the business community and
key members of the original
framers'committee, to draft the
science standards.
In the end though, oppo-
nents insisted on different lan-
guage, sending a simple mes-
sage. This message was not as
formal or official and it did not
suggest that the plethora of no-
tables who'drafted the curricu-
lum were attempting anything
other than advancing educa-
tional standards throughout the
state.
What it did suggest however
is that billions of believers
worldwide certainly constitute
a consensus declaring that sci-
ence must be grounded in

Americans are at an all-time low when it comes to sav-
ing money As a whole, Americans spent 1 percent more
than they earned last year. According to the Commerce
Department, this savings rate is the lowest since the Great
Depression.
This has not always been the case. In 1984, the na-
tional savings rate was more than 10 percent. Today, most
Americans don't have enough savings for an emergency
fund (which should amount to three to six months of ex-
penses in easily-accessible accounts), much less for retire-
ment or other long-term savings goals.
Starting next week, February 24 March 2, 2008, is
designated as America Saves Week.
America Saves is a national campaign to encourage
individuals, especially low and moderate-income house-
holds, to save money, reduce debt and build wealth.
America Saves is a National Extension campaign that
encourages individuals to save a certain amount each
month toward a specific goal to buy a home or a car or to
build an emergency fund or save for retirement. Individ-
uals" can sign up to join America Saves on its website,
w .americasaves.org. In doing so, you get a subscription
to 'the quarterly newsletter.
-One major step Americans can take is to work on
building an emergency fund. It can be the key to keeping
you -afloat when unexpected repairs and expenses come
up. Rather than use a credit card to pay for that unexpect-
ed car repair or the broken window, you take it out of your
emergency fund and don't add to your debt load. Exten-
sion- Financial Management Specialists suggest house-
holds maintain a savings of $500.00 to $1,000.00 for a good
cushion when emergencies arise.
How do you find money to save when you think there
isn't enough to pay the bills? Involve the whole family by
explaining the importance of emergency savings, then
everyone can help build the account. Save the change in
your pocket at the end of every day Take your lunch to

Oicmpoints & Opinions
I am hoping and I
praying that the weath- 1
erman's forecast for
this weekend is wrong.
He's predicting thunder-
storms for Saturday
evening.
I don't like thunder-
storms, but I love rain.
Thunderstorms have a ten-
dency to disrupt things. I
am not as fearful of thun-

does throw some into a
tizzy. Some people freak
out every time it rains. We
need the rain, but we don't
need the storms.
One of the main rea-
sons that I don't want
thunderstorms Saturday
night is because of a con-
cert scheduled at Midway
Church of God. The con-
cert will feature something
for all ages if they get out
and go.

bring out the country mu-

gospel music fans who
know that such people as

Gaithers, the Blackwood
Brothers and Naomi and

The Madison Enterprise-Recorder 3A
Concern For Madison County Youth
The following was
written in 1995 but never
was published because I
thought I was asking for
too much. At that time, my
three boys were 16, 14 and
11, and we had only lived
here for five years. Now,
we have lived here for 17
years and I still feel that
the needs I was crying out
to fill are still present.
Only there are probably a
whole new group of par-
ents today that feel the
same way that I did then.
My boys have since
grown up and survived the
lack of concern for Madi-
son County youth. My
boys have all since then
had children of their own.
Granted, they are all still
pre-school age, but my
boys know that their chil-
dren will someday face the
same problems as they
did. I have read about,
heard about and witnessed
Madison County's youth
still getting into trouble,
accidents, drugs, alcohol
and other mayhem all the
time.
I'm thankful that my
children are out of that
dark age, but I am already
worried, about my grand-
children and what their fu-
ture holds.
This was my original
plea for help and a ques-
tionnaire for the youth to
fill out and send to me. If
anyone wishes to fill out
'the, questionnaire and
mail it to me, I will be glad
to get the information to
the right people. Following
is the original letter I
wrote for the newspaper in
1995: .
Parent'a Concern for
Madison County Youth
Like many other par-
ents in Madison County, I
have teenagers that have
nothing to do on weekends.
I 'didn't grow up in this
area, so I have no idea
what parents my age did
for excitement when they
were teenagers in Madison
County. Therefore, I don't
know what my children
will be doing over the next
five to 10 years of their lives
here in Madison County.
I've heard rumors of a
few areas which attract our
young people, besides the
obvious, which are various
parking lots along the
Madison strip.
Like I said, I didn't
grow up here, but where I
grew up, there were places
to: "hang out" as the kids
say here. These establish-
ments were called "The
Cave," "The Pool Room,"
and others like the
YM.C.A, the local bowling
alley, roller skating rinks,
even movie theaters. There
were pool tables, ping-pong
tables, air hockey, video
games, basketball hoops,
Sloud music and supervi-
sion. There was no alcohol,
drugs or smoking allowed.
There was also a snack bar
available or munchies and
soda. No cover charge, but
everything else cost a quar-
ter or fifty cents. This was a
great getaway for
teenagers and probably a
lot less worry for our par-
ents just knowing where
they were. There are still
places like these in other
areas but not in Madison.
Why? I'm not sure if places
like these existed in Madi-
son and failed in the past;
'" I'll have to research this.
But I see this as a good
idea, but there has to be full
support of the county and
parents for it to happen.
I may be dreaming or
talking off the top of my
head, thinking I've got all
the answers, but I realize I

don't. If so, then help by
proving to me that this will
never work. I would like to
see it tried. I haven't got the
money or the space avail-
able to me, but someone out
there might. I do know that
there are a few places in
this county that could be
utilized to serve this pur-
pose. This is a dream that
could easily become a reali-
ty if the right people care.
I guess it sounds like
I'm asking someone else to
take care of my problem. In
a wayl am. But it's notjust
my problem. It's a problem
that I'm sure other parents
are facing or will someday
soon face, or have faced in
the past, and seen their
child into alcohol, drugs,
jail, an accident or worse
due to the simple fact that
no one cared enough about
the youth to do something
to change it.
It's real difficult know-
ing your children are out
there driving at night to
Valdosta or Live Oak or on
some dirt road in the mid-
dle of the woods. Or in a
ditch, or up against a tree
because there is no safe
place locally where they
can find the same excite-
ment and independence,
where you at least know
where they are. I would
rather give my son $10.00 to
spend shooting-.pool wi~d
his friends at night, than
give him $10.00 for gas to
go out driving nowhere,
looking for trouble all
night.
I realize this is a whole
new generation of children
we are talking about today
than they were in the 70 's.
but a lot of it is the same.
We won't be able to stop all
the fights, drug and alco-
hol abuse, teenage sex, or
other problems the
teenagers are facing today.
But, it might help if they see
that someone cares about
what they 're doing by not
allowing it. Maybe they'll
realize they can find a nat-
ural high just being with
their friends, laughing,
playing games and having
fun in a safe environment
Some may think I wor-
ry too much, but I still do.
Are there any other parents
out there that feel the same
way I do? Let me know if
you are concerned about
Madison's youth. Thank
you for taking the time to
read this. My phone num-
ber is (850) 929-2487.
Concerned Parent,
Sheree Miller
Granted, I now under-
stand that there are school
sports programs and vari-
ous organized ball teams,
4-H programs. Boy or Girl
Scout programs and
church youth programs.
Unfortunately, there is
still a large amount of the
school-teenage population
that doesn't have the same
common interests covered
in those programs and are
left to wander aimlessly
during after-school and
evening hours. This is
where the problem lies
and trouble is just looking
for a place to happen.
My three boys fell into
the "non-sports" category
My husband Kevin and I
compensated for that by
getting involved in 4-H and
church youth programs.
At times, we felt that if we
didn't, stand up and do,
it,that neoene else was,
standing in line behind us
waiting to take over the
jobs. I guess it was a time
in our lives that allowed us
to be a part of what our
children were interested
and involved in, so we did
it almost as if we needed
to do it. We have no com-
plaints and feel proud that
we did everything in our
power to help our own and
other children to get
through that delicate stage
of their lives. I'm sure
plenty of other parents
then and now are feeling
or felt the pressure of try-
ing to do it all in the inter-
est of their growing chil-
dren. To us, it was worth
it.

religion and that God need not show up in person to
"prove" it.
Ultimately, the language that was originally proposed
was amended to the "theory" reference only days prior to
the vote. Opponents would likely have been much more
vocal earlier but due to the broad manner in which public
feedback was advertised, many were unaware until arti-
cles began to surface. In fact, following this newspaper's
article of January 18 reporting the Madison School Dis-
trict's opposition to the original language, blogs began to
arise challenging the story, often using language like "un-
enlightened" and "backwards." The phone brigade then
took the march to the next level.
Miss Essence
Oliver Bradley, who is the pageant director, said that
the Jr. Miss division was added because so many younger
girls were wanting to enter the pageant, but the age limit
was a barrier. "We responded to the request, and the re-
sponse has been tremendous," he said. Bradley, also stat-
ed that by adding the Jr. Miss division helps prepare the
younger girls for the Miss Competition.
The purpose of the pageant is to encourage young
ladies, to continue their education at an institution of
higher learning by offering educational scholarships to
the winners. The young ladies also serve as role models for
younger girls, in our community
The pageant previous winners, include Miss Ashley
Parrish, who is currently enrolled at the University of Mi-
ami, and is a member of the Varsity Cheerleading Team;
Miss Shamara Gibson, is a student at Florida State Uni-

The final scorecard: State Board of Education votes 4-
3 to accept the language that maintains evolution as a
"theory"
This is not the first, or likely the last, instance where
science versus religion will occur and it isn't limited to an
educational forum. As far back as 1941, during a confer-
ence titled, Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Sympo-
sium, Albert Einstein, perhaps modern civilization's most
noted scientist, stated, "Science without religion is lame;
religion without science is blind."

Food
Chec
Out
Day 2008
The Madison County Farm Bureau participated in
the Annual Food Check Out Day Celebration at the Talla-
hassee Ronald McDonald House this week. Madison and
surrounding County Farm Bureaus donated over $1,000
in fresh, Florida Produced food, which included poultry,
beef and pork products. Also, the Ronald McDonald
House received over $200 in gift certificates to be used to
purchase dairy products during the year.
Bob and Beanie Searcy, Ginnie Paaralberg, and Bub-
ba Greene attended the Celebration and also assisted
with preparing a noon luncheon for Board Members of
the Ronald McDonald House. Also present were Legisla-
tive Aides from Senator Bill Nelson and Congressman
Allen Boyd. Rep. Will Kendrick also attended, along with
his entire staff in Tallahassee.
Food Check Out Day is an annual event, denoting the
number of days it takes the average American Family to
work in order to earn enough money to purchase there
entire year's groceries for their family According to
USDA, it takes about 35 days to earn enough money to
pay this food bill. In relation to Tax Freedom Day, which
is held in mid-May food is definitely a bargain in Ameri-
ca.
Farm Bureau Women have been sponsoring this an-
nual event for the past several years, and have donated al-
most $10,000 in Florida Produced Food to the charity over
this time span. Ronald McDonald House is a great Chari-
ty that does a great job for our community Families from
surrounding counties also have the option to stay at the
facility when children are in local Tallahassee Hospitals.

Red Cross CEO Leaves Amidst
Unrest Over Floyd Termination
By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Joseph Agostini, the
embattled CEO of the Cap-

chapter that serves Madi-

agency, but board mem-

whether he was fired or he

saidI that Agostini is "no
longer affiliated" with the
Red ICross after the board
decided to part ways with
Agostini. Agostini could
not be reached Friday for
comment.

Farm Bureau Presents Check
To Christian Heritage Academy
U.
The Madison Farm Bureau Board of Directors present an Ag-in-the-Classroom check to
Janet Bailey. Back row left to right: Dewayne Leslie; Timmy Tuten; Bob Searcy; Jeffrey Hamrick;
Ben Ragans; and John C. Webb. Front row left to right: "Bubba" Greene; Jay Fraleigh; Janet Bai-
ley; Ginny Paarlberg; and Aaron Williams.
The local Farm Bureau Board of
Directors recently presented Janet Bai-
ley a check for $250 to be used for ef-
forts in Ag-In-The-Classroom at her
school in Greenville. Janet and her
husband Jeff started the school two
years ago, and it is called the Christian
Heritage Academy
Back during the last spring, Janet
filled out an application from Florida
Farm Bureau for their Mini-Grant
program, and they competed with
schools all over Florida for the grant.
Madison County Farm Bureau just re-
cently found that the school had won
the money, and at January's local
Farm Bureau Board meeting, Janet
came and accepted the check from lo-
cal Women's Chairman Ginnie Paarl-
berg.
The purpose of the Farm Bureau
Mini Grant is to put money in
teacher's hands that can be used to
teach children about the importance
of farmers and what Agriculture
means to our county, state and our na-
tion. According to Paarlberg, food pro-
diuction is a very important part of
our nation, and kids need to have an
understanding and appreciation of
those who grow and produce our food
that we eat. "Farmers are a very im-
portant group of folks, and everyone
needs to know this fact," she added
Mrs. Bailey will have the coming
year to complete the ATTC project,
and then just report back to the State
Organization as to what the kids
learned.
The Madison County Farm Bureau
has been involved in Ag-In-The-Class-
room for many years, and truly be-
lieves that ALL kids need to under-
stand the importance of Agriculture.

Greene Publishing, Inc.
The Madison County Alcohol And
Other Drug Prevention Coalition held its
regular monthly meeting on February 11
at Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, Madison. Lo-
cal community organizer, Jerome
Wyche, presided over the meeting.
The partnering leadership of the
coalition, Gregory Harris, Executive Di-
rector of the Health Promotions Pro-
gram Initiative (HPPI,) was not in atten-
dance. Harris and HPPI Program Coor-
dinator, Bruce Smith, were in Washing-
ton D.C. attending conferences to pursue
the renewal of program resources.
Two special guests who were intro-
duced during opening comments re-
ceived a very warm reception. Emily
Spencer, Director of the LATMA Acade-
my, along with four of her students, ex-
pressed their hopes to support the activi-
ties of the coalition. Dr. Harry Rotter, an
educator from Madison currently work-
ing with exceptional need teens, was also
proposed for membership.
The coalition is moving through a vi-
sioning process that is slated to be for-
malized upon Harris' return from D.C.
Three committees will ultimately co-
ordinate and deliver the coalition's des-
perately needed services. Many agree
that the collaboration between faith-
based, government, and private organi-
zations is essential to maximize, effec-
tiveness and especially to maximize the
return on very limited resources.
"There isn't a greater priority than
getting our children to a safe place where
they can become good neighbors and in
the process help turnaround the destruc-
tive influences throughout our whole
community," Wyche noted in review.
During group introductions, several
members discussed personal favorites
among issues that were suggested as fu-
ture components of the coalition's work-
ing papers. Among the topics, financial
and entrepreneur training were men-
tioned. There was also a brief recap of
several community events that had expe-
rienced particularly successful outcomes
as part of Black History Month activi-
ties. Among those successes were in-
creased HIV/AIDS awareness and in-
creased legislative exposure and partici-
pation.

Happenings At
Madison First
Baptist Church
By Nell Dobbs
There was a fresh sense of excitement in our church
on Sunday morning as Amy Robinson began the service
with a stirring rendition of "All Rise." On the final cho-
rus, the entire congregation rose to worship and honor
God. The Chancel Choir then sang "Here I Am to Wor-
ship," which further prepared our hearts, for worship.
Preacher Morris read Isaiah 6: 1-8 as Isaiah wrote of
King Uziah's death: When should one worship? (Daily)
Worship is not an unguided emotion but is guided by the
truth. Whom should I worship? God and only God. With-
out its proper object (Jesus Christ), worship is worth-
less. One is not ready to hear the voice of God until he is
cleaned and purged from whatever is hindering him.
A blessing to have Sara Dene and Lil Jess with me
and to have her help write this.
Angels rejoiced in Heaven as Almond and Peggy
Drummond came into church by letter and Alicia was
saved. Amen!
Angels rejoiced to receive Sue Raines on Monday at
101 1/2 What a person of faith and works as she minis-
tered at home, in school, in church, in community and
we give thanks for her life and her family and their care
for her for each other. We also pray for Mildred Bruner
and'her family in the death of their loved one for the
family of Mrs. Lucille Cruce. Dennett will no longer be
listening for her phone call; he can "telephone to Glory,
oh what joy divine."
The baby shower for Lesley and Sid was great! There
is to be a churchwide wedding shower to shower to hon-
or Elias and Ansley Paulk. This Sunday at family night
at 6 p.m.
There were so many ill among us. Pray for James
Hurst as he's not doing well and all others.
So, March is going on among us and we pray for all
that's being done in God's Name and for Him. Special
thanks to our pulpit search committee and all commit-
tees who serve us faithfully
We sing "How Great Thou Art" an know that God
does all things well and that we are here for a season to
do His Will.
Middle Florida Baptist Association
To Host Horse Whisperer
By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Paul Daily, a horse whisperer,
will be the featured speaker at a cel-
ebration sponsored by the Middle
Florida Baptist Association. The cel-
ebration, called "The Ride of Your
Life," will begin at 4 p.m. Sunday,
March 2, at the Madison County
High School football field.
The event will begin at 4 p.m.
with a block party Churches will
have booths with food, games and in-
formation. Everything will be free at
the event.
As Daily works with the horse,
he explains the Round Pen of Life to.
his audience pointing out similari-
ties between man's relationship
with God and a horse's relationship
with his trainer.
The ten steps or similarities are:
No. 1: The calling.
They have selected this horse to
begin training to become more use-
ful in the future. God calls man to be
more useful to Him.
No. 2: The expectation.
The horse is not expected to be
more than what he it is, an un-
trained horse. God does not expect
to us to do or be more than we are ca-
pable of.
No. 3: Trust.
In order to train the horse it is
necessary for the horse to trust
Paul. God created horses to flee from
danger, so Daily must be careful not
to threaten or harm the horse. God
also wants a trust relationship with
us. He loves us more 'than we can
imagine and does not want to harm
us.
No. 4: Desire to please.
Paul Daily wants the horse to
work because the horse wants to, not
because it's being forced to. God
wants us to serve Him and love him
because we want to.
No. 5: Demands full attention.
Paul will ask for the horse's full
attention so that they will be able to
work together. God wants our full at-
tention so other things will not dis-
tract us.
No.. 6: Seeks understanding.
Daily wants the horse to under-
stand what he is asking of him. He
tries to present his'wishes in a way
that the horse will understand. God
wants us to seek his will and his way
No. 7: Learn to accept the
truth.
Paul Daily wants the horse to
know that he is his friend and will
help him. Paul will work closely
with the horse as he learns this. We
must learn that we cannot make it in
this world without God's help. And if
we are willing, God will teach us his
ways.
No. 8: Trials and troubles.
During the training the horse is
exposed to all kinds of new things
like ropes, blankets and saddles, to
help him learn to cope and work
things out. God prepares us for our
tomorrows by helping us through
our trials and troubles today
No. 9: Accept, not rebel.
Paul takes the horse through
this step by making the right thing
easy and the wrong things difficult.
God rewards us for our obedience
and chastises us for our wrongs. -
No. 10: Full release.
Finally, the horse accepts every-
thing! Paul has him bridled and sad-.
dled and is riding him. We must re-
lease all, our life of sin, and accept
God as our guiding hand and take
God's free gift of eternal life with
Him.
Psalms 56:11
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do
unto me.
Blessefisit he na that walked not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitfeth in the seat of the scornful. But his
delight [is] in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. -Psalms 1:1-3

MEGA TENT EVENT IN PERRY -
SHOWING CONSUMERS THE RIGHT
WAY TO BUY NOW!
FEDERAL RATE CUT PROVIDES UNPRECEDENTED LENDING OPPORTUNITY;
CONSUMERS ADVISED TO BUY VEHICLES BEFORE RECESSION
FED RATE CUT PROVIDES UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOR CONSUMERS
The U.S. Federal Reserve boosted consumer hopes and comforted Wall Street investors by slashing interest rates by three-quarters of.
a percentage point to 3.5 percent in an effort to save the economy from a recession. The economic stimulus plan represented the larg-
est single-day cut in a key interest rate in 25 years. The historic interest rate cut was designed to encourage consumer spending and
energize the nation's economy. Shortly after the Fed announced a reduction of its federal funds rate to 3.5 percent from 4.25 percent,
most major banks reduced their prime lending rates by the same amount. Since the Fed rate affects how much consumers pay on
credit card debt, home equity lines of credit and auto loans, economists predict that consumers' monthly debt obligations should slide
along with the rate cut. For consumers, the three-quarter point federal funds rate cut will mean lower interest rates on credit purchas-
es, including those of automobiles. According to Ford CEO Alan Mulally, the rate cut "gives the auto financing companies the ability
to really bring some more credit into the marketplace...it's going to help consumer confidence". This means that if you buy a car in the
next few months, the payments will be substantially lower than they would have been without this drop. Moreover, the rate reduction
will allow manufacturers to offer financing incentive programs to prospective new-car buyers at lower interest rates.
DEALERS DESPERATE TO SELL VEHICLES As Little as a $99/month!*
The current opportunity to obtain low interest rate consumer loans comes at a time when dealers are desperate moving to sell vehicles
through unprecedented rebate and incentive programs. Prior to the historic cut in the Federal Reserve's rate cut, automobile dealerships
had suffered due to the rumored housing slump and rising gasoline prices. Moreover, competition between foreign and domestic manufac-
turers has reached an epic pitch, giving consumers leverage when shopping for new vehicles. GM, Ford and Chrysler have been forced to
boost incentives to maintain sales volume amid weak consumer confidence and increased competition from foreign manufacturers.
CONSUMERS ADVISED TO BUY NOW BEFORE LOOMING RECESSION CAUSES SPIKE IN INTEREST RATES.
The current rate cut has provided consumers a unique, limited opportunity to obtain low interest loans. Consumers are advised to take
advantage of this historic lending opportunitybefore the.loomingrecession.ar4ives. Indeed~. -spike-in the federal funds rateieup~.L
with write-offs from the housing slump may impact banks' willingness to lend. Should a recession occur later in the year, consumers
shall face a much more difficult time getting auto loans due to more stringent credit standards. Thus, the current fed rate cut may pro-
vide consumers with the best opportunity to obtain advantageous vehicle financing. Terry Egan, editor in chief of publications for The
Warren Group, which tracks real-estate transactions, agreed, pointing to the combined benefits of lower prices and lower short-term
interest rates. "For someone ready to make the leap, that's two bits of good news in terms of buying opportunity," he said.
LOWER INTEREST RATE + NO MONEY DOWN PROGRAMS + LOWER
PAYMENTS = TIME TO BUY NOW!
Every vehicle in inventory will be clearly marked with its drastically lowered price or payment. Bank representatives will be available to as-
sist all buyers during this very special event. Even those buyers whose credit may have been damaged in the past will have an opportunity
to take advantage of this incredible market condition. A stable job and residence is all that is required to begin process of any transaction.
The Perry Tent Sale will be fully staffed February 22 27,2008 as attendance is expected to be in record breaking numbers. As with most
special sales, the selection will diminish throughout the event so come early to take full advantage of the entire inventory available.

Sharon French, long-time Madison teacher, was a
special guest speaker during the Feb. 7 meeting of the
Future Teachers of America at North Florida Com-
munity College. She shared her educational philoso-
phy with a room full of NFCC students, who are po-
tential teachers.
French, who spent most of her teaching career in
Madison County schools, offered advice drawn from
her 31 years as an instructor in special education.
She said, "Never feel sorry, for a child and always
show a caring attitude when in the classroom." She
also urged, "Don't go into teaching for the money or
vacations because it's one tough job, but with many
rewards at the end of the day. There is a desperate
need for dedicated teachers who are willing to go the
extra mile."
The NFCC. Future Teachers of America, which
meets once a month, promotes education as a career
and encourages students to get involved in the field of
education. In addition to hosting guest speakers, the
club supports community projects. This month the
group is packing snacks for students at Greenville El-
ementary and is soliciting donations of snacks. Enid
Kozlowski, club sponsor, said, "If members of the
community wish to donate snacks please contact me
by telephoning 973.1637." Arrangements will be
made for dropping off snacks or students will pick
them up.
Kozlowski recommended the Academy Award
winning documentary, "I Am a Promise: The Chil-
dren of Stanton Elementary School," to all potential
educators. The film is available through the NFCC li-
brary
For more information about Future Teachers of
America, contact Kozlowski at koz1owskiE(nfcc.edu

Lady Sentinels Fall Short
Of Goal In Pensacola Game
North Florida Community College
women's basketball continues at a fast
and furious pace before the '07-'08 sea-
son closes at the end of February.
The team has been in a rebuilding
mode for the better part of the season
as new players came on board. In spite
of a losing season, the team has made a
valiant effort to stick with the program
and see it through to gain as much ma-
turity as a team as possible this sea-
son.
When the Lady Sentinels met Pen-
sacola Junior College Jan. 26 in Pen-
sacola, PJC came out on top with a
score of 72-42, according to NFCC
Coach Marcus Hawkins.
Leading the way for the Sentinels
were #22 Jasmine Sheppard of
Gainesville High/Gainesville with 13
points while # 21 Natashia Mitchell of
Wildwood High School/Wildwood had
six points and eight rebounds, accord-
ing to Hawkins.
Upcoming games at home include
Feb. 6 at 5:30 p.m. against Gulf Coast
Community College (GCCC), Feb. 16 at
,4 p.m. against Tallahassee Community
College (TCC) and the last game of the
season, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. against
Okaloosa-Walton Community College
(OWCC).
The games are played in the Colin P.
Kelly Gym on the NFCC campus in
Madison. The public is invited to at-
tend these games and admission is free.
For more information regarding
the NFCC Sentinel's team or opportuni-
ties to become a team member, please

If you weren't lucky
enough to get drawn for a
special-opportunity or
spring turkey quota per-
mit, don't fret; there are
numerous wildlife man-
agement areas (WMAs)
that don't require them.
The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) offers
35 public hunting areas
statewide where hunters
need only to "walk on" to
hunt spring turkeys.
These hunts are made
possible through the
FWC's partnerships with
the state's Division of
Forestry, Florida's water
management districts, the
U.S. Forest Service, Florida
Department of Environ-
mental Protection, the Na-
tional Park Service and
Department of Defense,
who participate in the
state's public-hunting sys-
tem.
Hunters need only a
hunting license ($17 for
residents, $46.50 for non-
resident 10-day license),
management area permit
($26.50) and turkey permit
($5 for residents, $100 for
nonresidents) to spring
turkey hunt on the follow-
ing areas. These licenses
and permits can be pur-
chased in Florida at coun-
ty tax collectors' offices
and at most retail outlets
that sell hunting and fish-
ing supplies. They also
can be bought with a cred-
it card by calling 1-888-486-
8356 or going online at
www. wildlifelicense. com.
The spring turkey sea-
son runs March 1 April 6
in the South Hunting Zone
and March 15 April 20 in
the Central and Northwest
zones, unless otherwise
noted below. Shooting
hours during spring
turkey season on WMAs
are one-half hour before
sunrise to 1 p.m.

Medtronic has pulled its Sprint Fidelis defibrillation leads from the market
after fractures in the leads were linked to five patient deaths. Patients
with these leads may have received a warning letter from the manufacturer.
A fractured lead "can cause the defibrillator to deliver unneces-
sary shocks or not operate at all."
If you have a Sprint Fidelis lead, your Patient ID card should contain one of
the following four sets of numbers:
6930 6931 6948 6949
(These numbers may be shown at the beginning of a longer set of numbers on your ID cord.)
In addition, the St. Jude Riata defibrillator lead has been reported to
punch holes in the heart and has been linked to at least
one death.
