Sheriff Praises

Register At Retirement


Greene Publishing, Inc. Photo By Michael Curtis, December 23, 2009
Sheriff Ben Stewart presented Sgt. Freddie Register a handsome plaque recognizing his years of dis-
tinguished service with the Madison County Sheriff's Office. Pictured left to right are: Sheriff Ben Stewart,
Kathy Register, Alan Register, Sergeant Freddie Register and April Register.


Sergeant Freddie Register has served the Madi-
son County Sheriff's Office for 18 years. Prior to that,
he headed up the Lee Police Department. Through-
out those years, he has established a reputation for
getting the job done right, building a mountain of re-
spect in the process. In fact, while speaking at his re-
tirement lunch held on Dec. 23, Sheriff Ben Stewart
playfully asked him to reconsider.
Stewart acknowledged how much Register has
meant to the department. "Will you reconsider?" the


Sheriff said.
Stewart went on to say how much Register would
be missed, wishing only the best for him and his fam-
ily in retirement.
Lunch was catered by O'Neals, and accompanied
by four ten-layer masterpieces baked in his honor by
members and friends of the department.
His lovely wife, Kathy and children Alan and
April, who is currently a dispatcher with the depart-
ment, joined Register at the celebration.

One Of My

Parents' Gifts
Other than love and security, the gift that my
parents gave me that I appreciate more than any-
thing is instilling in me a love of reading.
As a youngster, I devoured books. I remember
when Wilmer Bassett, who was my father's boss, got
the bookmobile to come to our neighborhood. He did
it because he knew that I loved to read. My father
had to work on Saturdays and my mother didn't dri-
ve, so the library was out of the question but the
bookmobile was a library on wheels.
Every other Saturday, I would wait with great
anticipation for the world to bring itself to my
neighborhood. I met many people because of that
bookmobile. It was there that I met George Wash-
ington, John Kennedy, the Roosevelts, Dwight Eisen-
hower and innumerable other people I read about. I
made friends with fictional characters, such as Tom
Sawyer, Huck Finn and the Hardy Boys. Sports he-
roes stepped off the pages. Babe Ruth swatted home-
runs. Joe Namath threw touchdown passes. Lou
Gehrig, the "Iron Man of Baseball," was a champion
in his sport but lost his battle to the muscular disor-
der that bears his name. Rocky Marciano knocked
out his opponents and Rocky Graziano, another box-
er, proclaimed, "Somebody up there likes me."
I still love to read. Whenever I treat myself to a
gift, it is usually either a book or something that has
to do with the computer. The computer has also
opened up worlds of other books for me. One of my
favorite websites, if not my very favorite, is
www.archive.org. There, I find many books in the
public domain. Last night (Monday evening), I found
a book entitled The Story of the Other Wise Man.
Written by Henry van Dyke, it is the story of the un-
known fourth wise man, who gets delayed and does-
n't make it in time to see the newborn King. There
are also many other books, including classic novels,
biographies, self-help books, etc. In addition, there
is also music, movies and TV shows which are in
the public domain and available for free download.
One of the gifts that my parents gave me was
the love of reading. I thank God for my mother
teaching me to read and I thank God for my father
teaching me to love to read biographies and history
It is a great Christmas gift!
Merry Christmas.

Why JESUS is

Better Than

Santa Claus
Santa lives at the North Pole ...
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh ...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the
water.
Santa comes but once a year ...
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies ...
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited ...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and
then enters your heart when invited.
You have to wait in line to see Santa ...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap ...
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly ...
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ...
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry" ...
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me,
for I care for you."
Santa's little helpers make toys ...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa is a "jolly old elf'
JESUS is the King of Kings
Santa may make you chuckle but ...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree ...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.

northpolesantaclaus.com
Santa Claus hasn't al-
ways looked like the jolly
old fellow we know today
Like so many other Ameri-
can traditions, he's a prod-
uct of the great American
melting pot a blend of
many different cultures
and customs. His earliest
ancestors date back to pre-
Christian days, when sky-
riding gods ruled the earth.
The mythological charac-
ters Odin, Thor, and Saturn
gave us the basis for many
of Santa's distinctive char-
acteristics.
But the most influen-
tial figure in the shaping of
today's generous as loving
Santa Claus was a real
man. St. Nicholas of Myra
(now Turkey), a fourth cen-
tury bishop. As a champion
of children and the needy
he was legendary for his
kindness and generosity
A Tradition Of
Benevolence
In a well known story
illustrating St, Nicholas'
benevolence, we find two of
the basic principles of the
holiday spirit giving to
others and helping the less
fortunate as well as the
tradition of hanging stock-
ings by the fireplace.
According to this leg-
end, there were three Ital-
ian maidens whose
families had fallen on hard
times. Because their father
could not afford the
dowries necessary for them
to marry he was consider-
ing selling one of his
daughters into slavery to
get dowries for the other
two. When the good saint
heard of the family's plight,
he went to their home late
one night and anonymous-
ly tossed three bags of gold
down the chimney Miracu-
lously a bag fell into each of
the sisters stockings, were
hanging by the fire to dry
His kindhearted gift made
it possible for all three sis-
ters to marry
A variation of this sto-
ry is that as each girl was
ready to wed, St. Nicholas
came in the middle of the
night when no one could
see him and tossed a bag of
gold through an open win-
dow into her stocking. The
idea of gifts being delivered
through an open window
may have begun as a way to
explain how Santa enters
homes that have no chim-
ney
Patron Saint
Because of his wisdom
and sensitivity many
groups claimed St.
Nicholas as their patron
saint. Children, orphans,
sailors, and even thieves of-
ten prayed to the compas-
sionate saint for guidance
and protection. Entire
countries, including Russia
and Greece, also adopted
him as their patron saint,
as well as students and
pawnbrokers.
Throughout his life, St.
Nicholas tried to help oth-


ers while inspiring the to
imitate his virtues. Leg-
ends of his unselfish giving
spread all over Northern
Europe, and accounts of
his heroic deeds blended
with regional folklore.
Eventually, the image of
the stately saint was trans-
formed onto an almost
mystical being, one known
for rewarding the good and
punishing the bad.
The date of his death,
December 6th, was com-
memorated with an annual
feast, which gradually
came to mark the begin-
ning of the medieval
Christmas season. On St.
Nicholas' Eve, youngsters
would set out food for the
saint, straw for his horses
and schnapps for his atten-
dant. The next morning,
obedient children awoke to
find their gifts replaced
with sweets and toys, found
their offering untouched ,
along with a rod or a bun-
dle of switched. St.
Nicholas' Day is still ob-
served in many countries,
and gifts are exchanged in
honor of the spirit of
brotherhood and charity
that he embodied.
The Making Of Santa
Claus
After the Protestant
Reformation in the six-
teenth century the feasting
and veneration of Catholic
saints were banned. But
people had become accus-
tomed to the annual visit
from their gift-giving saint
and didn't want to forget
the purpose of the holiday
So in some countries, the
festivities of St. Nicholas'
Day were merged with
Christmas celebrations,
and although the gift-bear-
er took on new, non-reli-
gious forms, he still
reflected the saints gener-
ous spirit.
In Germany he ap-
peared as Weihnachts-
mann, in England as
Father Christmas, and in
France, as Pere Noel, who
left small gifts in the chil-
dren's shoes.
In the areas where St.
Nicholas was still por-
trayed as the gift-bearer, a
host of other characters de-
veloped to be his assistants.
Two of his most well-
known helpers were
Knecht Ruprecht and the
Belsnickle. Depending on
the local tradition, they
were either attendants to
St. Nicholas or gift-bears
themselves, but in all cases,
both were fearsome charac-
ters, brandishing rods and
switches. It was not only
their dusty to reward good
children but also to reprove
children who were naughty
and couldn't recite their
prayers.
Knecht Ruprecht
(meaning Servant Rupert)
was also by other names
such as Black Peter (so
called because he delivered
the presents down the
chimney for St. Nicholas
and became blackened


with soot).
In some places, the im-
ages, of Knecht Ruprecht
and St. Nicholas merged to
form Ru Klaus (meaning
Rough Nicholas so named
because of his rugged ap-
pearance), Aschen Klaus
(meaning Ash Nicholas -
because he carried a sack
of ashes as well as a bundle
of switches), and Pelznick-
le (meaning Furry
Nicholas referring to his
fur clad appearance).
Not all of St. Nicholas'
companions were frighten-
ing. In fact, the Christkindl
(meaning Christ Child)
was thought to accompany
him in many countries. Of-
ten portrayed by a fair-
haired young girl, this
angelic figure was some-
times the gift-bearer too.
Santa In America
Immigrants to the
New World brought along
their various beliefs when
they crossed the Atlantic.
The Scandinavians intro-
duced gift-giving elves, the
Germans brought not only
their Belsnickle and
Chistkindle but also their
decorated trees and the
Irish contributed the an-
cient Gaelic custom of plac-
ing a lighted candle in the
window.
In the 1600's, the Dutch
presented Sinterklaas
(meaning St. Nicholas) to
the colonies. In their excite-
ment, many English-speak-
ing children uttered the
name so quickly that Sin-
terklaas sounded like Santy
Claus. After years of mis-
pronunciation, the name
evolved into Santa Claus.
In 1808, American au-
thor Washington Irving
created a new version of
old St. Nick. This one rode
over the treetops in a horse
drawn wagon "dropping
gifts down the chimneys of
his favorites." In his satire,
Diedrich Knickerbocker's
History of New York from
the Beginning of the World
to the End of the Dutch Dy-
nasty Irving described San-
ta as a jolly Dutchman who
smoked a long stemmed
clay pipe and wore baggy
breeches and a broad
brimmed hat. Also, the fa-
miliar phrase, "...laying his
finger beside his nose...,"
first appeared in Irving's
story
That phrase was used
again in 1822 in the now-
classic poem by Dr.
Clement Clarke Moore, "A
Visit from St. Nicholas,"
more commonly know as
"The Night Before Christ-
mas." His verse gave an
Arctic flavor to Santa's im-
age when he substituted
eight tiny reindeer and a
sleigh for Irving's horse
and wagon. It is Moore's de-
scription of Santa that we
most often think of today:
"He had a broad face, and a
little round belly that
shook, when he laughed,
like a bowl full of jelly"
Up to this point, San-
ta's physical appearance


and the color of his suit
were open to individual in-
terpretation. Then in 1863,
Thomas Nast, a German
immigrant, gave us a visu-
al image of the cheerful
giver that was to later be-
come widely accepted.
When Nast was asked
to illustrate Moore's
charming verse for a book
of children's poems, he
gave us a softer, kinder San-
ta who was still old but ap-
peared less stern than the
ecclesiastical St. Nicholas.
He dressed his elfin figure
in red and endowed him
with human characteris-
tics. Most important of all,
Nast gave Santa a home at
the North Pole. For twenty-
three years, his annual
drawings in Harpers Week-
ly magazine allowed Amer-
icans to peek into the
magical world of Santa
Claus and set the stage for
the shaping of today's mer-
ry gentleman.
Artist Haddon Sund-
blom added the final touch-
es to Santa's modern image.
Beginning in 1931, his bill-
board and other advertise-
ments for Coca Cola-Cola
featured a portly grandfa-
therly Santa with human
proportions and a ruddy
complexion. Sunblom's ex-
uberant, twinkle-eyed San-
ta firmly fixed the
gift-giver's image in the
public mind.
St. Nicholas' evolution
into today's happy larger-
than-life Santa Claus is a
wonderful example of the
blending of countless be-
liefs and practices from
around the world. This
benevolent figure encom-
passes all the goodness and
innocence of childhood.
And because goodness is
his very essence, in every
kindness we do, Santa will
always be remembered.


Merry Christmas
Before I offer glad tidings today, I must break my
patience of not writing Lee News and offer condo-
lences, to both the Greene and the Bembry families
on the loss of their loved ones recently.
I have been associated with the Greene family
professionally since Tommy put me on staff many
years ago and know they are a loving, close-knit
family and to lose one so young is very hard.
With the Bembry family, I'm more closely con-
nected. Jacob's grandfather Gene was my stepfa-
ther's brother and Bobby was named for him. Also
Carlton was a close personal friend of my family. He
and my children grew up as pals and he and his wife
Brenda always spent time with us when they were in
town and were guests at daughter Joan's in Atlanta
often, especially when we were there.
And now I will simply say, 'Make sure Santa can
make it down your chimney' and have a safe but
Merry Christmas!

Jeffrey H. Sloman, Acting United States Attor-
ney for the Southern District of Florida, and John V
Gillies, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Miami Field Office, announced the fil-
ing of an Indictment charging Beverly Gallagher, 51,
of Pembroke Pines, with committing extortion un-
der color of official right, bribery in programs re-
ceiving federal funds, and wire fraud by depriving
the citizens of honest services, in violation of Title
18, United States Code, Sections 1951, 666, 1341, and
1346, respectively. Gallagher was arrested on Sep-
tember 23, 2009 on a criminal complaint in connec-
tion with these charges. She was released on a
$100,000 personal surety bond.
As set forth in the Indictment, the charges are a
result of an FBI undercover investigation. The un-
dercover FBI agents posed as asset managers who
claimed to represent contractors seeking to obtain
contracts with local government entities, including
the Broward County School District. Specifically,
the undercover agents claimed to be acting on behalf
of a client who owned a glass company and a project
manager for a large construction company Both
companies were purportedly seeking to obtain con-
tracts from the Broward County School District.
According to the allegations in the Indictment,
from approximately November 2007 through June
2009, Beverly Gallagher used her official position, in
exchange for the unlawful receipt of property, in-
cluding money and other things of value. Specifical-
ly, Gallagher allegedly agreed to act as an
undisclosed "consultant" and to use her influence
working "behind the scenes" to obtain contracts or
other favorable actions from the Broward Country
School District for contractors associated with the
undercover FBI agents. Gallagher allegedly insisted
that she be paid in cash and for her personal benefit,


instead of to her political campaign. In total, Gal-
lagher allegedly accepted $12,500 in cash and other
property, including boat trips and the payment of
restaurant bills. In exchange for the cash and other
remuneration, Gallagher is alleged to have used her
official position to benefit contractors who were at-
tempting to become pre-qualified before the
Broward County School Board and obtain various
projects and subcontract work on projects from the
Broward County School Board.
Acting U.S. Attorney Jeffrey H. Sloman said,
"Elected officials are held to a high standard of con-
duct because of the special position of trust given
them by the public. We, as citizens, have a right to
hold them to this standard, and to demand that they
be held accountable. In this case, Gallagher's actions
fell far short of this standard. She used her office for
purely personal gain, and must now face the conse-
quences of her actions. Good governance requires
no less."
FBI Special Agent in Charge John V. Gillies stat-
ed, "Beverly Gallagher betrayed the trust placed in
her by the citizens of Broward County by using her
position as a school board member for her own per-
sonal benefit. As the top criminal priority of the
FBI, we will continue to work with our partners and
devote all necessary resources to address public cor-
ruption where we find it."
Mr. Sloman commended the investigative efforts
of the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service, Crimi-
nal Investigation Division, in connection with the
investigation of this matter. The case is being prose-
cuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jeffrey N. Kaplan
and Neil Karadbil.
An Indictment is only an accusation and a de-
fendant is presumed innocent until and unless
proven guilty

FBI Presents Director's Community Leadership


Award To The Anti-Defamation League


Special Agent in Charge (SAC) John V Gillies,
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Miami Field
Office, announced today that the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL), Florida office, is the recipient of the
2009 Director's Community Leadership Award. The
ADL was presented the award at a ceremony held to-
day at the FBI's office in Miami.
Established in 1990, the Director's Community
Leadership Award is presented each year by FBI
field offices to an individual or organization who
has exhibited exemplary leadership within the com-
munity and whose leadership has assisted the FBI
and local law enforcement personnel in making
safer communities. These individuals or organiza-
tions, whose achievements in the areas of crime pre-
vention, drug deterrence, or similar educational
programs, have made a positive difference in their
communities.
The ADL was founded in 1913 to stop the
defamation of Jewish people and to secure justice
and fair treatment for all. It fights anti-Semitism
and all forms of bigotry in the United States and
abroad through information, education, legislation,
and advocacy. Listed below are several initiatives
which warrant recognition:
L.E.A.R.N.: The Law Enforcement Agency Re-
source Network website is a comprehensive and reg-
ularly updated database which tracks actionable
information on extremist activities for local, state,
and federal law enforcement agencies. Information


on hate symbols, extremist incidents and arrests,
and training can also be found on this website.
A World of Difference Institute: This initiative
provides anti-bias education and training with cur-
riculum and materials for Pre-K through university
level students, community groups, civic associa-
tions, and religious organizations.
Bearing Witness Program: A partnership with
the ADL and Catholic schools to provide educators
with the training and resources necessary to teach
students about the historical relationship between
Jewish and Catholic communities. This program is
also responsible for maintaining relationships and
dialogue with international, national, and local reli-
gious leaders of all faiths.
The ADL's commitment to scrutinizing and ex-
posing extremists, hate groups, fostering interfaith
relations, and developing educational programs
that support this cause are exemplary and merits
recognition by the FBI.
Special Agent in Charge John V Gillies stated,
"It is such an honor to present this award to the
Anti-Defamation League. Over the years, the FBI
has relied on their extensive research and training
expertise to assist us in
carrying out our mis-
sion The AD, Florida


office is an outstanding
partner in every sense of
the word and is truly de-I

serving of the Director's Award for Community
Leadership."
Past winners include:
Handy, Inc.: a non-profit organization found-
ed in 1985 to address the fundamental needs of
Broward County's Foster Care Children.
National Black MBA Association, Inc.:
founded in 1987 to provide mentoring, leadership
development, and scholarship opportunities for
socio-economically disadvantaged students who
are interested in attending college.
Ms. Shirley Taylor-Prakkelt: the former Di-
rector of Housing for the Town of Davie, Florida,
who was responsible for implementing neighbor-
hood revitalization programs to reduce crime,
drugs, and gang violence in her local community.
Her Youth Scholarship Award Fund was high-
lighted as a positive ini-
tiative which
encourages students to
take part in activities
which would positively
impact their local com-
munity.

Whose Name Is Mudd?


By Paul Niemann
"If the offenders are done to death
by that tribunal ... they will pass
as martyrs with half the world. "
The above quote sounds like it
could apply to modern-day terror-
ists, but it was actually spoken by
a former attorney general named
Edward Bates nearly 150 years
ago.
Sam was a successful young
doctor who was tried for conspira-
cy to commit one of the most well-
known murders in American
history. He was convicted and sen-
tenced to life in prison.
Prior to that, he was also in-
volved in planning a kidnapping
that never materialized. He also
had shot one of his slaves. His
name received a bad rap through-
out history ever since one fateful
day in April of 1865.
Sam was born in 1833 in
Charles County, Maryland, as one
of ten siblings. A year after grad-
uating from medical school, he
married his childhood sweet-
heart, Sarah Frances Dyer.
Sarah's family and friends called
her Frankie or Frank for short.
If a girl can be named Frank,
and since Sam is also a girl's
name, could you say that Sam and
his wife Frances could have been
known as Frank and Samantha in-
stead of Sam and Frances? Proba-
bly not, but I was just wondering
out loud how that would sound.
Meanwhile, in 1864, a well-
known actor in the area was plan-
ning on kidnapping President
Lincoln. When the attempt never
happened due to Lincoln changing
his plans that day, the actor decid-
ed to assassinate him the follow-
ing year. That actor, as we all
know, was John Wilkes Booth.
On that fateful, historical
night of April 14, 1865, Booth


broke a bone in his leg when he
landed on the stage at Ford's The-
atre after shooting Lincoln. He
then rode his getaway horse to Dr.
Sam's house in Bryantown, Mary-
land, about 15 miles south of
Washington, DC.
So who was this Dr. Sam and
why was he arrested for conspira-
cy to commit murder?
His full name was Dr. Samuel
Mudd. The same Dr. Mudd who set
the broken leg of John Wilkes
Booth the day after he assassinat-
ed President Lincoln. As a result
of Mudd's cooperation, Booth was
able to continue his escape.
Dr. Sam Mudd was a Confeder-
ate sympathizer and slave owner.
We were taught in History class
that he did not know at the time
that John Wilkes Booth was the
person who shot President Lin-
coln when he set his broken leg -
meaning that he inadvertently
helped a murderer escape.
It's not that simple, though,
because the truth is that Mudd
did know Booth as far back as No-
vember of 1864, when he was in-
volved with Booth and seven
others in planning the kidnap-
ping of the president. After Lin-
coln was assassinated, Mudd
denied knowing him to avoid be-
ing prosecuted.
Dr. Mudd served nearly four
years in jail, and was later par-
doned by Lincoln's successor,
President Andrew Johnson, in
1869. He and wife Sarah (Frankie)
went on to have the final five of
their nine kids together after he
was released from prison.
It is often assumed that the
"My name is mud" saying refers
to Dr. Samuel Mudd, which is
true, but the saying originated in
1823, which is ten years before
Sam Mudd was born.

Local Eastern Star Chapter Entertains


At "Official Inspection"


By Emerald Greene
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The evening of Thurs-
day November 12, found
the Madison Chapter of the
Order of the Easter Star
#109 entertaining mem-
bers, visitors, and guests
during their "Official In-
spection" at the Masonic
Lodge/Eastern Star build-
ing in downtown Madison.
The grand honoree was Sis-
ter Lois Mock, Grand Con-
ductress.
The evening began
with a Thanksgiving type
dinner at 6:00 p.m. The offi-
cial meeting began at 7:00
p.m. when officers of the lo-
cal chapter marched in for-
mally and opened the
chapter in long form.
Madison's Worthy Ma-
tron, Karen FerDon, wel-
comed all the out-of-town
guests as Madison's Con-
ductress and Associate
Conductress, Edith Terry
and Jennifer Stanley did
the proper introductions.
Following the intro-
ductions, the "exemplifica-
tion of work" was
demonstrated by Conduc-
tress, Edith Terry and As-
sociate Conductress,
Jennifer Stanley The Silver
Drill went to Hospice and
Paliative Care, Sylvia Mor-
row, Worthy Grand Ma-
tron's special project.
The address of the As-
sociate Grand Matron was
a special treat, as she spoke
of her many friends who
were there with her, on this
special event. She thanked
everyone for the hospitality
shown to her during her
stay and for the wonderful
food that had been pre-
pared, in her honor, earlier
that evening.
The meeting was then
closed, in due form.

ern Star, Madison Chapter

clude: Worthy Matron,

tron, Roy Hibbs; Associate

The Madison Eastern
Star is a service organiza-
tion, a sister group of the
Masons, who collect per-
sonal items for men and
women and send them to
the Masonic Home, In St.
Petersburg. These items
are given to the nursing
home residents at no
charge, as the State Eastern
Star members donate them.
The Order of the East-
ern Star, or OES, is an adop-
tive rite of Freemasonry
with its philosophy clearly
based on the Holy Bible. Its
objectives are charitable,
and benevolent. OES is a
social order, comprised of
persons with spiritual val-
ues, but it is not a religion.
Its appeal rests in the true
beauty of the refreshing
and character-building
lessons that are so sincere-
ly portrayed in its ritualis-
tic work.
A deep fraternal bond
exists between its mem-
bers. It is the wholesome
relationship of sisterly and
brotherly love, brought
about through high princi-
ples exemplified in their
daily lives that make its


members near and dear to
each other.
Members must be eigh-
teen years of age or older
and either a Master Mason
in good standing, or proper-
ly related to a Master Ma-
son in good standing. The
latter category includes
wives, widows, sisters,
daughters, mothers, grand-
daughters, step-mothers,
stepdaughters, step-sisters,
and half-sisters. In 1994 this
was expanded to include
nieces, daughter-in-laws,
and grandmothers. Annual
dues are $20 to support the
local chapter.
If anyone, man or
woman, is interested in
joining the Order of the
Easter Star, Madison Chap-
ter, call Emerald Greene at
(850) 973-3497.

Christmas And Easter


Cannot Be Separated
By James J Jackson
Following a parochial school Christmas program, one person complained about
parts of the program. "Why did the pastor have to intersperse so much about Christ's cru-
cifixion in the story of Christmas?
I wondered about those comments later that day Why would the Easter story disturb
anyone, no matter when it is told? Actually both stories are interchangeable as well as in-
separable. Perhaps many people would just as soon leave Christ in the manger as a baby
rather than consider the fact that He went on to grow up and move toward His manifest
destiny ordained by God Himself.
As we go through the motions of the Christmas celebration, it is easy to lose sight of
the fact that the story of a beautiful baby who was foretold by prophets and announced by
legions of angels who appeared in the skies, giving Him glory and honor. We could sim-
ply revel in this heart-warming story of two people, who could not find lodging or a place
to birth their baby
Some writers have even taken the story of Christ's birth and related it to today's so-
cial issues, calling Joseph and Mary homeless. In fact, they had a home, but God had led
them to Bethlehem. He first used Herod's greed to move him to call for a census, which
meant that each adult would have to return to his or her ancestral home to be registered
and counted and placed on the tax rolls.
Since God had ordained that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, in Judea, He
arranged for Joseph to take his wife, who was pregnant by the Holy Spirit, to the City of
David for two purposes-to obey man's law, and to fulfill prophesy The Creator of the uni-
verse could have simply sent His Son as an adult into the world to live a blameless life, for-
give sins, and offer Heaven as a free gift to those who would receive the gift.
But God, in His infinite wisdom, sent His Son to enter earthly life as mankind does,
rendering Him true man, and to live a perfect life and become the only sufficient sacrifice
for all human sin, which only true God could do.
Had Jesus Christ not entered human flesh the way man does, and had He not lived a
perfect life, and had He not suffered and died to pay for all sin, God's own standards for
payment for our rebellion in The Garden of Eden would not have been satisfied.
If we, therefore, attempt to celebrate only the birth of Christ, without attaching it to
His suffering and dying for us, or if we only focus on the suffering and dying, then we fail
to grasp the complete story of Christ. Christ came into the world the way mankind does.
He died by giving up His spirit, as mankind does. But, in God's magnificent plan, Christ
arose from the dead to show us that death has no power over us.
That is the beauty of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son,
so whosoever believes in Him will not die, but have everlasting life."
Christ did not remain in the manger. He grew up to change the world forever, by
teaching us repentance, forgiveness and the Way to eternal life. He paid with His life for
the sins of even those who hate Him. He offers eternal life to all who repent and believe
in Him.
Christmas and Easter are the celebration of His life, resurrection the end of the fear
of death. The two cannot be separated.

CAR CARE CORNER
The Waq You Drive MaI Call For More
Frequent Maintenance
(NAPSI)-The way you maintain your car should take into
account the conditions in which you drive. That's the word from
AAA, which says too many drivers underestimate the severity
of their driving habits. As a result, they follow the wrong
maintenance schedule.
When polled recently by AAA, only 6 percent of motorists felt
they did most of their driving under severe driving conditions.
But when asked about the actual driving behaviors that create
severe operating conditions, 62 percent of motorists admitted
they drive their vehicle that way all or most of the time.
Some of the conditions and behaviors that are considered
severe include:
* Driving on short trips of less than five miles in normal temperatures or
less than 10 miles in freezing temperatures.
* Driving in hot-weather stop-and-go traffic.
* Driving at low speeds of less than 50 miles per hour for long distances.
* Driving on roads that are dusty or muddy or have salt, sand or gravel
spread on the surface.
* Towing a trailer, carrying a camper (if a pickup truck) or transporting
items on a roof rack or in a cartop carrier.


"Manufacturers provide different maintenance
recommendations for severe driving conditions because such
operation increases wear on vehicle components and fluids,"
said John Nielsen, director of AAA Approved Auto Repair and
Auto Buying Services. Maintenance schedules for severe
driving conditions typically recommend changing the vehicle's
fluids and filters more often, and include more frequent
inspections of certain components.
AAA advises motorists to:
* Read their owner's manual and/or maintenance booklet.
* Learn what the manufacturer considers normal and severe driving
conditions for their vehicles.
* Make an honest assessment of their driving habits.
* Schedule service in accordance with the appropriate maintenance
schedule.
For additional assistance in evaluating driving conditions and
determining proper maintenance intervals, motorists can visit
any of the more than 8,000 AAA Approved Auto Repair
facilities across North America. These shops have undergone
an extensive inspection and meet stringent standards for
quality, ability, integrity and professionalism.
Since its founding in 1902, the AAA has been an advocate for
the safety and security of all travelers. To learn more or locate
a nearby Approved Auto Repair facility, visit AAA.com/repair.

The t... i ...-,' ray is one ,. i-,,. most ..... ,/creatures in the ocean and one -f i,, largest rays. (Photo by Zig Leszczynski)


Florida's rays are majestic,


graceful, shy and shocking


By FWC Staff

At least 11 species of rays inhabit
Florida's coastal waters. Some of them
are enormous almost 30 feet across.
One of them can generate electricity to
stun its prey. Some have barbs that are
equipped with venom. All of them are
shy creatures that prefer to avoid contact
with people.
Manta ray
The largest of the rays is the manta
ray. The full-grown ones average about
22 feet from the tip of one of their pec-
toral fins (which resemble wings) to the
other (disc width), but they can reach
29.5 feet in disc width and weigh up to
3,000 pounds.
All mantas have two modified "fins"
called lobes that extend from the front
of their head just in front of their eyes.
These fins are actually used by these
amazing fish to direct water current into
their mouth so they can filter out their
favorite food. Early scientists thought
that the cephalic fins resembled the
horns of a devil, thus the well-recog-
nized common name "devil rays." In
fact, the most common manta species
present in Florida waters is called the
devil ray. The devil ray is small in com-
parison to most other mantas, reaching a
disc width of only 4-5 feet.
Mantas sometimes show up close to
shore. At other times, people see them
over the continental shelf and over reef
habitats, usually close to the ocean's
surface. They are often seen swimming
in schools, and they sometimes leap out
of the water and land with a huge splash.
Scientists aren't sure why they jump,
however some believe it is to dislodge
parasites that often attach to the rays'
skin. Others have speculated they may
use jumping to attract mates.
Manta rays usually are dark brown,
grayish blue or black on top with pale
edges and white underneath. Some, but


not all, mantas have a venomous barb
which is near the base of the tail on
the top surface. They live at least 20
years.

Spotted eagle ray
The spotted eagle ray is another large
species of ray that may reach a disc
width of up to 9.8 feet and weigh up-
wards of 500 pounds.
They have very long whip-like tails.
At the base of their tails spotted eagle
rays have one or more venomous spines.
Eagle rays use the spines as defense
against predators, such as sharks.
People see spotted eagle rays mostly
in bays, over coral reefs and in estuar-
ies. They like inshore waters, but they
also show up in deeper coastal waters.
Mostly, they swim in pairs or small
groups in the open water close to the
surface, and they often leap out of the
water similar to their close relatives,
the manta rays.
This is one of the most beautiful rays,
named for the cryptic spotted pattern
across the top of its body with small
white, bluish-white, greenish, pearly
or yellow spots on its black, dark gray
or brown body. Sometimes the spots
are large white rings with black dots in
the center. Eagle rays are typically all
white on their bottom side.
Cownose ray
Yet another ray species common to
Florida is the cownose ray. It typically
grows to 35 45 inches disc width,
although there is a report of one reach-
ing 84 inches. Cownose rays will have
at least one venomous barb at the base
of the tail and typically are brown with
a whitish or yellowish belly and a broad
head, eyes wide-apart.
This species has very hard tooth plates
and powerful jaw muscles that it uses
to crush various shellfish species that
it primarily feeds on, such as clams,
oysters, scallops and crabs. They
often swim in large schools containing
thousands of individuals. These large


schools of rays when feeding can
devastate local shellfish beds.

Lesser electric stingray
You can find the lesser electric ray
along the beaches and coastal waters
of the western Atlantic Ocean from
North Carolina to Argentina and in the
Gulf of Mexico. They keep to shal-
low coastal waters, buried beneath the
sand or mud or in sea grass most of the
time, but they sometimes venture into
water 180 feet deep.
They have the ability to generate
an electric discharge of 14-37 volts,
which they use to stun prey and to
fend off predators.
This species does not have a venom-
ous barb. It is dark brown, light brown
or reddish orange on top with irregular
rings or ovals. The underside is white,
yellowish or greenish.
Males grow to about 26 inches
across; females are a little smaller.
Electric stingrays eat primarily
marine worms but also include other
invertebrates, juvenile snake eels,
anemones, small fish and crustaceans
in their diet.

life Foundation of Florida,

W-ILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF FLORIDA
ESTABLISHED i 1994


Beachgoers should always

do the stingray shuffle


Beachgoers should exercise
caution. Beaches and coast-
lines are where you find sting-
rays year-round.
The most common rays in
Florida coastal waters include
three species of whip-tail rays,
including the Atlantic sting-
ray, bluntnose stingray, and
southern stingray. Although
stingrays are actually very shy
by nature, they are equipped
with a sharp spine (or barb) on
their tail which they use as de-
fense against predators, such
as sharks.
These rays also use
camouflage to hide from


predators-burying themselves
under the sand with only their
eyes and long spaghetti-
shaped tail exposed. That
makes them very difficult for
beachgoers to see. Unaware
bathers walking or wading in
shallow waters can step on a
ray resulting in being stung
in the leg or foot by the ray's
sharp, venomous spine.
To avoid being stung, bath-
ers only need to shuffle their
feet as they move across the
sandy bottom. Rays usually
sense the disturbance and
swim away.


Remember: heat to treat
A stingray's spine or barb is razor-sharp and made of a
hard, tooth-like material called dentine. It has notches on
both sides that act like a series of miniature arrowheads,
preventing the spine from backing out of a wound.
Most stingrays have a single spine, but some have more,
from 1 to 8 inches long. The spine produces venom, and
anyone stung by a stingray should seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Medical professionals can remove all traces
of the spine and flush out the wound with antiseptic to
prevent infection. Victims also usually require a tetanus
shot.
Also, soaking the wound in hot water (at least 113
degrees Fahrenheit) can bring immediate relief from the
painful effects of the venom. Remember the saying- "Heat
to treat."

Corinth Pancake

Supper And Game

Night A Big Success


Corinth Christian
Academy hosted North-
side of Starke, Ga., for a
game night and pancake
supper on Dec. 11 at the
old Lee School gym.
Families, friends
and fans gathered to sup-
port their team, with
many of the Corinth
players coming from
Madison County. The
school is just across the
county line in Jasper.

Corinth Baptist Pas-
tor, Gary Abbott, and
Principal Karen Godwin
were on hand as well,
rooting for their teams,
with the pastor taking
time to operate the game
clock. In addition to its
religious and academic
curriculum, the support
of parents and the com-
munity has been a cor-
nerstone of the school.
Corinth Christian
Academy is a private,
faith-based co-ed school
in Jasper and is Baptist
affiliated, serving ap-
proximately 100 students
in grades K-12. The ad-

1 Timothy 6:12.
Sunday morning
began in the most spec-
tacular way, with the
baptism of Dawson
Rutherford. His bap-
tism was followed by a
women's ensemble con-
taining, Lynn Sapp,
Cindy Brown, Amy
Robinson, Beth Carey,
Debbie Bass, and Willa
Branham, singing "Not
That Far From Bethle-
hem." This beautiful
number was followed
by the Worship Choir
singing a piece from
the Christmas Cantata
called "I Heard the
Bells." Pastor Ferrell's
message came from 2
Timothy 1 and Eph-
esians 4. He spoke on
how to deal with our
fears. Believers of
Christ can face their
fears through the pow-
er and love of Christ.
And also by keeping a
sound mind through
Christ.
Upcoming events at
Madison First Baptist
include: The week of
January 10 16, Madi-
son County will be
hosting the "Madison
County Prays" prayer
rally. This is going to be
a time of prayer
throughout the county.
Christians are
asked to pray for our
churches, community,
state, and nation. We
will also be beginning
our Membership Class
on January 10th during
our evening service
and 6:00p.m.

ifects A Lot
One drink here, another there, no big deal, right? Wrong! All it takes is just a
couple of drinks to affect the body. Within one to two drinks, blood pressure
drops, heart rate increases and blood vessels expand, reddening the skin. As
the alcohol makes its way into the brain, the body relaxes and cognition and
alertness decrease. The more alcohol consumed, the worse the effect on the
body and the more compromised the ability to drive becomes.
Be aware of the effects alcohol can have on your body.
L Drink in moderation this holiday season and don't drive impaired.

Trekking Into The Future
Captain's Log. Stardate: January 1, 20-10
The future is now. It's a new year, a time for new
beginnings. It is a time to let last year fall into the
abyss of all the yesterdays of our lives. It is a time to
start anew and try to live up to the commitments
that we have made to ourselves.
Have you made any commitments? Have you
made any resolutions? I have and I hope to be able to
meet my goals this year.
Last year, I stumbled and fell and didn't com-
plete the goals that I had set for myself. Some things
were beyond my control; other things I can only
blame myself for.
I am keeping my goals to myself this year. I ask
that you help pray for me to meet them, according to
God's plan and will for my life.
As I head into the future, at warp speed ahead, I
pray God's blessings on your lives and that we all
live long and prosper. In Jesus' name.

Happy New Year

I wish everyone a new year of dreams ful-
filled, a year when contentment reigns and you
can tell yourself "I'm happy just to be me" and
really believe it.
Here's to you, Happy New Year!

Be Coachable And
Inspect What You Expect
By Michael Curtis-
Greene Publishing, Inc.
There are few moments more frustrating than at-
tempting to change another person's mind, especially
regarding topics that are often the most personal and
are therefore the most passionate. The reality is and
at times we're all guilty many people are simply not
"coachable."
When interviewing at Smith Barney, the company
was running a commercial that said something like,
"Only 1 out of 14 qualified applicants get hired as fi-
nancial advisors for Smith Barney"
The point is obvious. The company was pushing a
marketing campaign emphasizing the rigid selection
process of its financial advisors. It took me a year to get
the position, which my hiring manager later explained
was because I finally appeared to be, "coachable."
Learning all the ins and outs of the brokerage and
insurance business was a breeze. Learning to listen
and understand where people and ideas were coming
from well, that was another issue altogether.
The meaning of "coachable" is simply the ability
to be coached to learn and gain from experience and
knowledge. Being in a coachable situation also implies
the thing being learned is new and/or may be very dif-
ferent than what one brings to the situation. That's the
whole point you're learning- you're being coached.
Not to sound ugly, smokers often quit smoking
once they have been diagnosed with lung cancer, but
for the most part, people simply don't change their
minds or behavior voluntarily. Still worse, most
don't even stop to think how they formed the opin-
ion or habit in the first place. They don't stop and
ask themselves, "Where did I learn that?" "Why do I
do that?"
You don't have to be an expert to realize most peo-
ple simply mirror some "celebrity" in their lives. It
could be mom or dad. It could be other family or
friends, or the TV Internet, etc. And then later, when
they hear an opinion that fits their current way of look-
ing at things, they lay claim to it typically joining a
mass of others in the process.
It's fascinating how many people won't recognize
this situation on a personal level, but will judge the
"masses" as being brainwashed. This then erupts into
billions of twisted emails and editorials, until everyone
is clamoring for and against change at the same time.
Mired helplessly in the midst of this parade are
many ready and willing to make a difference not
just talk a difference. These are the Republicans and
Democrats who know Glenn Beck and John Stewart
are entertainers and comedians, and not advisors.
These are also the Democrats and Republicans
who know Nancy Pelosi is a threat to the Christian
fabric of America, but also realize Dick Cheney is a
power broker who robbed America blind under the
banner of patriotism. These ranks of people include
thinkers and doers and more volunteers than
thought possible, but they can't get to the micro-
phone for all the loud mouths exclaiming, "Foul,
Foul!"
Rule Number One: Inspect what you expect.
Before offering an opinion on who or what's to
blame, learn the business or economy Walk a mile
in another's shoes. To become a professional
plumber, fire fighter, or educator requires hundreds
- if not thousands of hours of intense study To be-
come a successful entrepreneur or reach top man-
agement often takes decades. When it comes to
politics or the economy, however, or how to manage
a community or nation, suddenly everybody's an ex-
pert. Of course, the right to be heard is sacred; it's
the foundation of America. Just don't abuse it with
half-baked and copycat viewpoints.
Rule Number Two: Become part of the solu-
tion. This does not mean just signing a name to a
cause or forwarding an email, or just going out and
screaming with a poster. That wouldn't clear a drain
and it certainly won't change a nation. It just shifts
power between the latest bums who bought airtime.
For example, if a community can't attract business
because it doesn't have a sufficient workforce, or be-
cause the dropout rate is high, then shouldn't every-
body willing to talk about it share a few hours with
the local professionals charged with changing those
conditions, but who are swamped with massive de-
mand. Just ask, "What can I do to help?" because no-
body ever got very far by asking, "What can I say to
help?"
Rule Number Three: Challenge and expand
learning. Everybody recognizes that doctors should-
n't and couldn't operate half-trained or by using
half-baked ideas passed along by others regardless
of how well intentioned. No professional performs
that way Effective and loving moms and dads don't
operate that way Good coaches don't work that way
Challenge your learning; and refrain from partisan-
ship and bias family, political or otherwise when
forming opinions.
And lastly, ask yourself honestly if you're
"coachable." Be informed and be coachable.
God Bless Madison County and God Bless Amer-
ica!


Happy New Year! As you celebrate this weekend,
food will no doubt be a part of the festivities. There
will be snacks while watching parades and football
games, some of you may host a family gathering and
there's the traditional pot of black-eyed peas and all
of the food that goes with it. As you prepare your
New Year's meals, the US Department of Agricul-
ture reminds us to keep foods fresh and safe to eat. If
food containing harmful bacteria is consumed, it
could cause foodborne illness. So, when serving
food, follow this food safety checklist recommended
by the USDA:
Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and wa-
ter for a full 20 seconds before and after handling
raw food.
Use plastic or other non-porous cutting boards.
Cutting boards should be run through the dishwash-
er or washed with soap and hot water after each
use.
Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood on a plate
or tray, so raw juices don't drip onto other foods.
Use one cutting board for raw meat products and
another one for salads and other ready-to-eat foods,
or wash cutting boards in between each use.
Never place cooked food on a plate that previ-
ously held raw meat, poultry or seafood unless the
plate has been washed.
Don't spread bacteria with dirty sponges, dish-
cloths, or towels. Bacteria thrive in the moist areas
of these items where bits of food may also exist. Use
paper towels or freshly-cleaned sponges or cloths
and soap and hot water to clean food preparation
surfaces.
When cooking meat, poultry and other dishes,
use a food thermometer to make sure foods are
cooked to a safe internal temperature.
When reheating sauces, soups, and gravies,
bring them to a boil. Heat other leftovers thorough-
ly to 165 O
Make sure the refrigerator temperature is 40 F
or below and 0 OF or below in the freezer. Occasion-
ally verify these temperatures using an appliance
thermometer.
Refrigerate of freeze perishables, prepared
foods, and leftovers within 2 hours.
Never defrost or marinate food at room tempera-
ture; use the refrigerator. You can also thaw foods in
airtight packaging in cold water (change the water
every 30 minutes, so the food continues to thaw). Or,
thaw in the microwave, if you'll be cooking the food
immediately
Divide large amounts of leftovers into shallow
containers for quick cooling in the refrigerator.
Don't over-fill the refrigerator. Cold air must cir-
culate to keep food at a safe temperature.
For more information on keeping your food safe,
contact the Madison County Extension office.

Hospital Gives Warm Holiday Gift


Photo submitted
MCMH continues its tradition of assisting the elderly of Madison County, donating blankets and coats to
the Senior Center. Pictured, left to right, are: Judy Sorrell, Vicki Howerton, Susan Yonce, Sharon Underhill,
and Cindy Burnett.


The staff of the Madison County Memorial
Hospital has a longstanding tradition of assisting
the elderly of Madison County through both med-
ical services and their continued support of the
Madison County Senior Center. These needs ex-
tend far beyond medical care, however.
As winter approaches, it is an ongoing con-
cern for seniors to stay warm. In spite of Flori-
da's warmer climate, the months of December,
January and February in particular can be quite
cold. Responding to those conditions, the hospital
staff organized a coat and blanket drive.
"The blanket drive that MCMH did for the Se-
nior Citizens was a joy to all our employees. The
huge box was full and running over, with both
blankets and jackets to help meet the needs of lo-
cal Senior citizens," Vicki Howerton noted on be-
half of the hospital. "Additionally, she said, "we
took another bag of blankets to Senior Citizens
today (Dec. 29), knowing that in 29 degree weath-

State Annou


er, they would have a need for extras in order to
stay warm."
Displaying a large box with a banner stating,
"We At MCMH Love Our Seniors," organizers col-
lected dozens of blankets and coats, which they
delivered to Sharon Underhill, at the senior cen-
ter. Underhill joined Executive Director Rosa
Richardson in expressing her appreciation on be-
half of those receiving the warm holiday gift.
Judy Sorrell, Susan Yonce and Cindy Burnett,
along with Howerton, presented the holiday box
on behalf of all hospital employees, throwing out
huge kudos to everyone who supported this time-
ly and worthwhile effort.
Those wishing to support these and other
year-round efforts should call Sharon Underhill
at (850) 973-4241 for more information, especially
regarding volunteer roles at the new senior facil-
ity, due to open in a few months at the corner of
SR 14 and Harvey Greene Drive.

Complaints For 2009


Unwanted telephone
sales calls continue to be
the top gripe for Florida
residents, with more
than 6,500 complaints
filed with the Florida De-
partment of Agriculture
and Consumer Services
in 2009. Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson has
released the top 10 list of
complaints and the
state's "Do Not Call law
continues to generate
the most activity In fact,
there were 1,500 more
written complaints filed
by people on the "Do Not
Call" list than in 2008.
Consumers can pay
an initial fee of $10, with
a $5 annual renewal fee,
to have their home and
cell telephone numbers
placed on the list and
avoid unwanted sales
calls. The fee is used
only to administer the
program. The types of
calls that are exempt
from the list can be
found at http://www.800
helpfla.com/nosales.htm
1.
The department's
Division of Consumer


Services is the clearing-
house for consumer
complaints in Florida.
The division regu-
lates 11 industries but
also attempts to mediate
problems consumers
have with unregulated
businesses. Complaints
about industries that fall
under the regulatory au-
thority of another
agency are referred to
that agency. There were
about 38,000 written
complaints filed in 2009,
slightly more than the
37,227 filed in 2008.
Bronson releases the
top 10 list every year to
alert consumers about
what the biggest prob-
lem areas are so they
can be more vigilant
about protecting them-
selves.
Telemarketing com-
plaints not involving the
"Do Not Call" law
ranked second this year
with 3,609 complaints.
Travel/vacation plans
dropped to third place
with 2,781 complaints, a
decrease of more than
800 from 2008. Fourth on


the list was cred-
it/banking with 2,774
complaints and round-
ing out the top five was
communications with
2,302 complaints.
"People can save
themselves a lot of trou-
ble, and probably money,
if they check out compa-
nies before they do busi-
ness with them by calling
our consumer helpline,"
Bronson said. "Con-
sumers can find out if a
regulated business is
properly registered and
check the complaint his-
tory of any company"
Problems with mo-
tor vehicle sales and ac-
cessories (such as truck
tool boxes, bedliners and
other items sold in auto
parts stories) generated
1,644 complaints putting
motor vehicle sales sixth
on the list. There were
slightly fewer com-
plaints, 1,625, against
motor vehicle repair
shops which took the
number seven spot. The
eighth category on the
list was medical issues,
prompting 1,543 com-


plaints.
Landlord/tenant
disputes continue to be
in the top 10, this year at
number nine with 1,523
complaints. The final
category in the top ten
was complaints against
real estate bro-
kers/salespersons with
1,197 complaints.
Bronson encourages
consumers to file a com-
plaint if they feel they
have been wronged by a
business by calling the
department's helpline at
1-800 HELPFLA (1-800-
435-7352) or 1-800-FLAYU-
DA (1-800-352-9832) for
Spanish-speaking opera-
tors. The department
was able to obtain nearly
$5.9 million in goods, ser-
vices or cash refunds for
consumers in 2009. Peo-
ple can use those same
helpline numbers to find
out the complaint history
of a business. Con-
sumers can also file com-
plaints online by visiting
the Division of Con-
sumer Services website
at http://www.800
helpfla.com.

the vehicle, Parks observed an open can of beer in
the driver's side cup holder.
While both occupants spoke with Officer Mey-
ers, Parks removed the beer from the vehicle and ob-
served three small plastic bags containing a white
powdery substance in the cup holder.
Parks conducted a field test on the white pow-
dery substance and it tested positive for cocaine.
At this time, both Brown and Young were se-
cured and placed in a patrol vehicle.
After a more extensive search of the vehicle, of-
ficers located several more small plastic baggies con-
taining cocaine.
After questioning both Brown and Young about
the drugs, both were placed under arrest and trans-
ported to thee county jail. Patrick Brown was
charged with possession of cocaine with intent to
sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Annie Young was charged with possession of co-
caine.

During a pat down search for officer safety, Rosen-
berg discovered a small plastic baggy that contained a
white powdery substance that appeared to be cocaine
and a large amount of U.S. currency After Rosenberg
placed handcuffs on Robinson, Robinson complained
that the cuffs were too tight.
Rosenberg was attempting to loosen the cuffs
when Robinson pulled away from the officers and fled
on foot. Both Officers Rosenberg and Stephenson
caught Robinson and restrained him.
During an inventory of Robinson's vehicle for im-
poundment, several more small plastic bags contain-
ing cocaine were located.
Robinson was transported to the county jail and
charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell,
possession of drug paraphernalia, escape and a viola-
tion of probation warrant.
Under the Florida forfeiture act, Robinson's vehi-
cle and currency will be seized.

Missing

Teenager

Found
By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
A 14-year-old boy re-
ported missing by his
mother was found with
his father in Orlando.
Fernando Clavell, a
student at LATMA Acad-
emy, had not been seen
since Wednesday, Dec. 16,
after an argument with
his mother. He was last
seen headed east from
LATMA.
According to Madi-
son County Sheriff's Of-
fice Inv. Sharon
Shadrick, "Fernando
,_ contact-
ed his
father

land,
w h o
came
a n d
f picked
Fernando him up.
Clavell Accord-
ing to
court papers the father
provided, this is an ongo-
ing custody battle with
the parents. We did talk
with the father and ad-
vised him he should have
contacted us to let us
know the welfare of his
son. There are no
charges at this time
against the father. At the
time children are report-
ed missing, we never
know until future inves-
tigations whether a child
has been abducted or it
becomes a custody issue.
Luckily, this case was
custody "
On behalf of the
Sheriff's Office, Shadrick
thanked this newspaper
for coverage of the miss-
ing child.
"Thank you for your
news coverage," Shadrick
said. "Our department
really appreciates the
coverage you gave in this
case."


On Dec. 28, Pilgrim's
Pride formally announced it
had exited bankruptcy. The
Pittsburg, Texas, based meat
producer will now become
part of the largest producer in
the world, as it joins the other
operations of Brazilian beef
giant, JBS.
Local employees and pro-
ducers await the effects of the
change. Meanwhile investors
are celebrating, as the stock


traded midday at over $10 per
share. At this time last year,
the stock traded as low as $0.14
per share, which means that a
$14,000 stock purchase at that
time would be worth over
$1,000,000 at its inter day high
of $10.49 per share.
Pilgrim's Pride, trading
under the stock symbol PPC,
filed for bankruptcy protec-
tion late last year in response
to an insurmountable debt


load, accompanied by low
chicken prices and rising feed
costs.
According to initial re-
ports, the reorganization plan
calls for selling a majority
stake in the company to
Brazilian beef giant JBS,
which is also slated to buy
Bertin SA. This will make the
combined operation the top
meat producer in the world.
Another impressive part


of the company's emergence
from bankruptcy is it will re-
pay all its creditors in full and
distribute new shares to cur-
rent holders. The deal is val-
ued at $2.8 billion.
Producers and employees
working with Pilgrim's Pride
in Live Oak appear patiently
optimistic that a full recovery
will follow, hopefully bringing
back employees and producers
who were cut loose last year.


Burned Remains


Identified
Body was burned and dumped
in Madison County
By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The Georgia Bureau of In-
vestigation has positively identi-
fied the remains of a man found
burned in Madison County on
Oct. 2.
The GBI has confirmed the
remains of the man to be Travis
Sauls, 24. Sauls was killed in
Berrien County, Ga. and his John D.Woods
body was burned on a road just Arrested for
west of State Road 53 and south murder
of Interstate 10.
Within hours of the body's discovery, John D.
Woods, a 36-year-old white male resident of Ray City,
Ga., was identified as a potential suspect in the
homicide.
According to an earlier report published in the
Oct. 7 edition of The Madison County Carrier:
A telephone call to the Madison County Sher-
iff's Office on the evening of Friday, Oct. 2, resulted
in a two-state homicide investigation.
According to the Sheriff's Office, the caller re-
ported finding what appeared to be charred human
skeletal remains. Sgt. Randy Jansch responded to
the location, west of Highway 53 and south of Inter-
state 10 in Madison County
Jansch called Capt. Mark W Joost, the Chief In-
vestigator for the Sheriff's Office, to assist at the
scene.
Sheriff Ben Stewart, Chief Deputy Epp
Richardson, Sgt. Inv. Tina DeMotsis and Bill Pfeil,
Special Investigator for the Florida Department of
Law Enforcement (FDLE), also responded to the
scene.
Capt. Joost was the lead investigator in this in-
vestigation for the Sheriff's Office. Special Agent
Pfeil is assisted him.
Within hours, John D. Woods, a 36-year-old
white male resident of Ray City, Ga., was identified
as a potential suspect in the homicide.
On Saturday, Oct. 3, Woods surrendered to the
Berrien County Sheriff's Office in Nashville, Ga.
The subsequent investigation revealed that on
the previous Monday, Sept. 28, or Tuesday, Sept. 29,
Woods killed an individual in Berrien County, Ga.
He then transported the body to the secluded area
south of Interstate 10 in Madison County

Throughout her ac-
complishments as both
a scholar and an athlete,
Brittany Davis has al-
ways led by example. As
a senior at Madison
County High School,
she was student body
president and a stand-
out in the girls softball
program, earning a
scholarship to Santa Fe
College in the process.
Her 3.4 GPA was
also notable; although
most would agree her
most memorable at-
tribute is her million-
dollar smile. She is an
enormous source of
pride for her family,
school, church and com-
munity.
In her first year at
Santa Fe, Davis has con-
tinued to excel. Statisti-
cally speaking, her 3.0
GPA is certainly com-
mendable, as is her .500


batting average and
bucket of RBI's. In her
freshman role, she
raised a few eyebrows.
Her high school coach,
Tommy Garner, is espe-
cially proud of her
progress, which is being
echoed by teammates
and coaches in college.
Brittany comes
from an extended family
that shares the joy of
seeing their favorite
daughter continue her
rise. Parents Barbara
and Cleo Brown, and
Andrew Graham, along
with grandparents
Julius and Queen Davis,
Rosa and Cleo Brown,
Margaret Graham and
June McDaniel, don't

"Just the other day,
my grandmother saved
something on television
so she could remind me
of a wonderful life les-
son that was being dis-


cussed. I've been
blessed with loving fam-
ily, friends, teachers and
coaches my whole life,
and I'm so grateful for
their love, support and
instruction," Davis ex-
plained.
During high school,
Davis also played and
traveled with the Talla-
hassee Bullets, in addi-
tion to numerous
scholastic and leader-
ship activities at school.
Davis aspires to be a
nurse anesthetist -
which she can spell J -
and intends to take her
athletics as far as her
skills and dedication
can carry her.
If her past perfor-
mance is any indicator,
the only challenge she
will face is deciding
which star to choose.

Central School Hosts Career Day


By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Several years ago,
Kay Evans organized Ca-
reer Day at the Central
School in an effort to
bring both motivation
and direction to stu-
dents. By introducing a
wide range of profes-
sionals and community
leadership to the stu-
dents, Evans and sup-
porting organizers
effectively reminded the
youth of the opportuni-
ties that accompany edu-
cation and hard work.
On Dec. 11, begin-
ning at 8:30 a.m., guest
speakers toured class-
rooms in thirty-minute
intervals, each bringing
a unique message re-
garding their respective
vocations. These local
notables also gave stu-
dents a look behind the
scenes, giving them key
information that will ul-
timately conclude with
the big question, "So,
what do you want to be
when you grow up?"
During presenta-
tions, students were
urged to take notes and
ask questions. Elected
officials, business lead-
ers, civic champions and
youth advocates stressed
the importance educa-
tion played in his or her
personal and profession-
al lives, further encour-
aging students to
consider long-term
goals. They also empha-
sized the importance of
staying away from de-
structive people and be-
havior.
