If you like chili, the Suwannee His-
torical Museum was the place to be
Jan. 28. Dozens of folks turned out to
taste chili cooked up by 15 entries at
the Museum's annual Chili Cook-off.
Seaman's Aqua Clean took home the
People's Choice Award voted:on by the
tasters. According to Jennifer Seaman
of Seaman's Aqua Clean, the secret to
her award-winning chili is the pot it
was cooked in. "We used a cast-iron
pot," Seaman said. "That's our secret."
The cook-off was held at the Muse-
um in beautiful weather. John Hale,
president of the Suwannee Historical
Museum, said last year it was 28 de-
grees with a 20 mile-per-hour wind.

How do I choose house
colors?

Richmond Bisque... Deep Russet .. Hickory..
The names are enough to make your head spin.
Choosing a paint color becomes e\en more baffling
when you consider that most homes use at least three


different shades -- one for the siding and two or more for trim and
accents such as doors, railings and window sashes.
A well-chosen selection of contrasting trim and accent colors can
draw attention to architectural details and disguise design flaws. A
poor selection can make a house seem flat and featureless -- Or so
garish that the color overwhelms the architecture.

Q: How do I establish a good
relationship with my dentist?
A: As in any relationship, there are
responsibilities on each side. The two of
you need to share trust and
communication. If, for instance, you are
confused or want more information after
your dentist has recommended a path of
treatment, you should feel free to ask for
more information. For example, you
might ask which of the steps the dentist
course of treatment that sets priorities
and gives you some options. If you are
still uncertain about what to do, you
might opt for a second opinion. Your
local dentist should be comfortable
discussing costs, payment methods and
a schedule for payment. If you're new in
town and choosing a dentist, feel free to
shop around. For your part, be a good
patient and practice good oral hygiene at
home, visit the dentist regularly and pay
your bills promptly. Talk with your dentist
about ways to keep the relationship
healthy.

EDITORIAL

Move over is the law
In Florida the "Move Over Act" was enacted in 2002 to pro-
tect emergency personnel working on the highways and
streets.
In Suwannee County, local citizens for the most part obey
the "Move Over" law and slow down when they see emer-
gency lights in operation at the scene of an accident, fire or:
where there is construction being done, or if they are being'
overtaken or approached by law enforcement, ambulances or
fire trucks with emergency lights on.
Some still do not "move over" and jeopardize the lives of
others when they do not.
It only takes a moment to be safe. -
When ambulances or fire trucks turn on their emergency
lights, other Florida laws require that all traffic they overtake
or meet are required to give them the right away by pulling
over.
Citizens who are reluctant to do so are reminded there is a
consequence if you do not obey this law and a fine could be
hard on the pocketbook.
The stronger consequence is that someone waiting for that
or other emergency vehicles to arrive could lose their lives or
property without the assistance of these emergency workers.
Those inside the emergency vehicles could be injured or killed
if others do not "move over" and a traffic crash were to occur.
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper recently was critically in-
jured when someone crashed into the rear of his stationary pa-
trol car even though it was off the road and the emergency
lights were on.
Using caution and observing the "mo e o er" law could
have prevented this trooper's injuries.
The lawreads that anyone approaching an emergency \ ehi-
cle with its emergency lights'On'is reqtured to slow to 20'nmiles "
per hour less than the posted speed limit when the posted
speed limit is 25 miles per hour or greater; or travel at five
miles per hour when the posted speed limit is 20 miles per
hour or less. On interstate highways or other highways with
two or more lanes traveling in the direction of the emergency
vehicle, and except when otherwise directed by a law en-
forcement officer, drivers approaching a law enforcement or
other authorized emergency vehicle parked on a roadway with
their emergency lights activated are required to vacate the lane
closest to the emergency vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
This is not too much to ask of drivers. And, it's the law.
It will save lives and prevent injuries and property damage.
It could save your life. If you are the one at the scene where
the emergency vehicles are operating, wouldn't you want oth-
ers to slow down to prevent an accident that could injure or kill
you or the emergency personnel?
' Think.
If you see emergency vehicles beside the highway, observe
the "Move Over" law and give them space as you pass when
it's safe to do so.
Act when you see approaching emergency vehicles slow
down immediately, pull over to the side of the highway to al-
low them to pass safely if they are enroute, wait.until the emer-
gency vehicle passes, look before pulling back onto the main
highway. Remember, where there's a fire or accident, there
likely will be more than one emergency vehicle heading to the
scene so be on the lookout for more.
Move Over is a good law drivers just need to observe it to
make it work well.


LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
Dear Editor: ,
After talking to you this morning about the article,
"Commission Briefs," on the front page of the Suwannee
Democrat, Jan. 20, I talked to Suwannee County Chief
Building Inspector.Pat Sura. Issue No. 6 "some commis-
sioners said this ordinance would prevent 'handy men'
from doing any work. Commissioner Billy Maxwell said
it would prevent property owners from working on their
homes and rental property."
I am 77 years old and know how to fix anything on my
property without having to hire someone else to do it for
me. In fact, most seniors would not have enough money
to pay for getting a job done.
I believe that any law the commissioners or any one else
makes that prevents me from working on my property is
against my civil rights.
I think I am talking about 90 percent of people who own
their homes and fix their problems themselves. I think
everyone who believes this way shouldattend the meeting
that is scheduled for Feb. 21 to protest Issue No. 6!
Earl Brammer


Please address letters to:
Letters To The Editor, Suwannee Democrat,
PO Box 370, Live Oak, FL 32064.
Please include your name, full address and daytime
phone number. We ask this so we can varify your letter
and discuss arty questions about it with you.

GUEST COMMENTARY


Sometimes, I wish the ground would swallow me whole


By Rick Hoover.
CNHI News Service

Becca, the wife,' is on the phone with my march-
,ing orders, though it's my day off.
. "You need to blah but first blah the blah blah ..."
I walk to the window and look at the backyard. It
must be nice to be a dog. No telephones. Or marching'
orders.
Molly, the junior dog, has been working on her.
Hole to China several years now. We dubbed it "Hole
-to China" when we noticed sh'e could hide herself -
completely out of view inside. It's actually more of
a tunnel the.opening is only wide enough for Mol-
ly and the tunnel extends straight into the ground at.
about 20 degrees but "hole" stuck.
I've had many dogs.' Several have been diggers but
Molly is the first to construct a .mine shaft. (Yes, I
know it means they're bored. I'm bored, too, but I
haven't made any holes or eaten.the linoleum, but
that's another story.)
Anyway, Becca's still-talking -" ... bleeding blah
nurse blah direct pressure blah blah should be OK ...
-and I watch as Molly enters her hole head first,
disappears for about 10 seconds and then reappears
head first.
"That's awesome!" I exclaim.
"What?" asks Becca.
"Huh?" I say, having forgotten I was on the phone.

You're. not even listening, are you?" she barks.
"You're watching the dogs, aren't you?"
"No (lie). Molly can turn around inside her hole.".
SMIol6l repeats the trick: enters the hole head first, is.
gone for about 10 seconds and reappears head first.
"She just did it again!"
"Who did what?" asks a perturbed Becca.
"NMolly can turn around inside her hole. It's not. a
hole; it's a cave or something."
"Did you hear anything I said?"
"Yes (lie). I wrote it down (lie). Did you hear what
I said? (Notice how I cleverly put her on, the defen-
sive.) Molly can turn around inside her hole. Or cave.
Yeah, it must be a cave. I must go look at this."
"BLAH BLAH BLEEDING BLAH BLAH!!!!!"
"I love you too.. I'll call later."
In 15 years of marriage, I have never called later.
Molly won't let me look at her hole. She.keeps
jumping on me and, at one point, blocks the entrance.
"I just want to see it," I bargain with the dog. "I'm
not going to climb in."
No dice.
Scout, the senior, snooty dog, sits looking at us like
we're both morons.
The phone is ringing.
I want a hole.

ney Houston for the Waiting
to Exhale soundtrack, "Count
on Me," climbed up the Bill-
board R&B Top 10 charts for
several weeks.
In her solo career, CeCe has
gone platinum and gold and
her seventh album, "Puri-
fied," recently received two
Grammy nominations, in-
cluding Best Gospel Perfor-
mance and Best Contempo-
rary Soul Gospel Album.
This all-star concert is in-
cluded with park admission
and guests are encouraged to
bring lawn chairs and blan-
kets. Covered reserved seat-
ing in front of the stage is also

lucky night when Grammy

the Spirit of Suwannee Music
Park at 7 p.m.
A blaze of red hair, a talent
for song. writing and many,

joy this great performer and
-his music, costumes and sets.
In fact, it's especially designed
for children as well as adults.
Kidd's shows are filled with
music, storytelling, movement
and interactions. Kidd is
known for choosing a theme
on which his performance is
based and the dialogue, cos-
tume and setting will center


around that topic. At the close
of the show, the children will
have learned a song about the
theme, discussed appropriate
behavior, sang some silly
songs and had an evening of
pure fun!
Don't miss this event
tonight, it's the first time Kidd
has performed in Suwannee
County.
Kidd, a noted workshop pre-
senter who has two highly ac-
claimed children's recordings,
has also written and recorded
songs which have made their
way up the, bluegrass music
charts.
Tickets for the event are $5
at the door with children under

It does not take long for the five year old and the fifty year old to be captivated by the music of Warren
Barfield! The passion that is displayed as Warren plays his guitar, and sings his original heart-fel songs,
is contagious. Warren began singing and playing the guitar as a child in North Car6lina, where he grew
up as a pastor's son. As he reached his early teen years, he began traveling more extensively, wherever
the doors were opened. It has now grown into a full time ministry. Warren admits, "It's unreal that I get
to go places and sing songs that He gave me while I was praying about something that I was going
through. And I get to see these songs, that I thought were just for me, minister to others from all walks
of life. That's what keeps me going-I know God's involved!"

VVLYLiI'lIOLUt, rtN 1-u


Friends honor McMullens birthday


Frenzy: excitement and/or
delirium ... descriptive defin-
itions one does not usually as-
sociate with laid-back Well-
born. But then recorded histo-
ry and folk-lore tells us that
our outback has had its mo-
ments of frenzy, moments of
living life to its fullest ...
How many people are left
who remembers that April day
in 1926 when two men came
to town and robbed the Well-
bom Bank? Or can anyone re-
call the duel of 1936, when a
heated argument between two
friends debating the upcoming
Governor's race escalated to
the point of one challenging
the other to a duel that ended
with deadly consequences be-
fore the first shot was. fired ..
seems that as the challenger
rushed home to retrieve his
gun, the anticipation and ex-
citement of the proposed
shoot-out proved too much ...
evidently he suffered a fatal
heart attack and died at his
own front gate, gun still in
hand. I'm certain that most
may think these two events
not the best examples of liv-
ing life to its fullest, yet they
do show some of the frenzy of
wild excitement and/or deliri-
um of Wellborn in its hay-day
... when cows roamed free
along the streets and cotton
was still king, before the bow
weevil and the Great Depres-
sion came to town ... times
ain't what they use to be, but
the history and memories of
those days live on in a little
book titled "Wellborn, My
Home Town."
On Monday, Jan. 23, I was
given the opportunity to share
Wellborn's illustrious history
Ax ith a group of 35 Elderhostel
bicyclists who were partici-
pating in a bicycle tour of
Suwannee County and the
surrounding area. The bicy-
cling/lecture program is an
event sponsored .by Camp
Weed and The: Cerveny Con-
ference Center in Live Oak.
Jeannette Peters, Camp Weed
Elderhostel Coordinator, con-
tacted me back on Nov. 30,
2005 asking if I could arrange
for someone from the Well-
born area to speak to the visit-
ing group. I said yes to Jean-
nette's inquiry, absolutely
positive I could find just the
right person to present a short
lecture on the history of our
outback community. Little did
I know I would become that
person ... Wellbom's unoffi-
cial storyteller. It seemed no
one wanted to step up to the
plate ... all had some place to
go or something to do on that
day, even though I asked far in
advance of the January date
set for the lecture. So it was
left up to yours truly to be the
torchbearer of the outback's
history legacy ... you know,
for posterity's sake. The Well-
born Community Park on 4th
Avenue made a perfect setting
for our lecture gathering,
which lasted an hour and a
half. Our visitors had a grand
time listening to the folk-lore


of Indian raids, duels and
bank robberies. By the way,
you can purchase a "Well-
born, My Home Town" book
for $15. The money raised
from book sales goes towards
church and youth related ac-
tivities at Wellborn United
Methodist Church. Want one?
For more information, call
386-963-4898.
Suwannee County Sheriff
Tony Cameron was guest
speaker at the Wellborn
Neighborhood Watch (WNW)
meeting at the Blake Lowe
Community Center on Thurs-
day night, Jan. 26. The meet-
ing opened with prayer by
Pastor Jim Messer of the Unit-
ed Methodist Church in Well-
born, followed by the Pledge
of Allegiance. After his intro-
duction, Sheriff Cameron
spoke on the progress the,
Suwannee County Sheriff's
Office has made against crime
in our county during his first.
year as Suwannee County's
Sheriff. Drug dealers and drug
related crimes have definitely
felt the impact of Sheriff
Cameron's presence. The con-
certed efforts of Sheriff
Cameron and his dedicated
staff of deputies to eradicate
drugs from our county, and
the crime related problems
that come with their sale and
use shows in the 283 drug re-
lated arrests the Sheriff's Of-
fice has made in its first year
under the leadership of Sheriff
Cameron, who pledges to
continue applying heated
pressure on those who seek to
jeopardize the safety and se-
curity of the citizens of
Suwannee, County. Chief
Deputy Ron Colvin, Deputy:
Lee W'llis. and Res,ptyv.
Deputy Mike Larney also at-
tended the meeting. The
WNW elected new officers
for the coming year: Bruce
Campbell, coordinator; Rus-
sell Smith, co-coordinator;
treasurer, Bob Murphy; and
Jane Campbell, secretary. The
WNW is certainly owed a
debt of gratitude for the dedi-
cated efforts of its members to
give all who live in the out-
back a sense of security. The
WNW meets the 4th Thursday
of the month at 7 p.m. at the
Blake Lowe Community Cen-
ter on 4th Avenue. All outback
citizens are encouraged to at-
tend.

Road To Recovery provides


transportation to cancer patients


The American Cancer
Society is 4aunching its
Road to Recovery program
Sin North Florida. The pro-
gram has been designed to
fulfill one of the major
problems encountered by
cancer patients getting to
and from treatment,
\\ ith thi toiybur local
library system, the Ameri-
can Cancer Society has
placed thousands of book-
marks in the public li-
braries of an 11-county
area 'bookmarks which
encourage volunteer dri-
vers to join the Road to Re-
covery program and en-
courage cancer patients
who need a ride, to call and
request one.
Transportation issues are
particularly difficult in this
area given the distances to
.treatment centers. Many
patients, need daily or
weekly treatment, often
over the course of several
months and they don't have
a car or are simply too ill
to drive. The American
Cancer Society's Road to
Recovery program pro-
vides transportation for
cancer patients to and from
these life-saving appoint-
ments. Volunteer drivers
donate their time and the
use of their personal vehi-
cles to transport these pa-
tients.
This program fills a need
reported by cancer treat-
ment centers in Florida. A
recent poll of treatment
centers by the ACS found
that 90 percent of centers


reported they have had pa-,-
tients miss treatment ap-
pointments due to lack of
transportation. Also, com-
munity medical transporta-
tion providers report that
their most common med-
ical destination is, to radia-
tion treatment centers.
R.oad to RecoVeiv is the
very essence of the Ameri-
can Cancer Society mis-
sion people helping peo-
ple overcome cancer. Road
to Recovery volunteers
provide an essential and
necessary service because
even the greatest medical
advance is useless if pa-
tients can't get treatment.'
The American Cancer
Societyis Road to Recov-
ery Program is in need of
volunteer drivers. Volun-
teers are needed to ensure
that all patients are getting
the care they desperately
need to get back on the
"Road to Recovery.",
The American Cancer
Society has a vast volun-
teer network helping local
community members make
a difference in the fight
against cancer. Road to Re-
covery volunteer driving
requires no special skills or
education just a safe dri-
ving record, a valid drivers
license, some free time, a
vehicle in good working

condition, and the desire to
help. ,
The importance of this
service is shown by the
comments from cancer pa-
tients who have received
rides. Reported one pa-
tient, "A wonderful volun-
teer, (name \ ithheld 1.
came and drove me both
ways, which was quite a
distance. I do not drive
long distances and neither
does my husband. I am 83
And he is 88, so I am in-
deed grateful for the ser-
vice I have received." An-
other said, "I found your
services very helpful to me
- as a cancer patient. Your
info has been professional.'
Your transportation saved
my life, and continues to
do so."
This volunteer opportu-
nity is designed to be an
easy and stress-free service
for both patients and vol-
unteers.. Training sessions,
maps, and directions are


provided to those who vol-
unteer their time. For more
information or to volunteer

duced the number of tasters. "We had an excel-
lent turnout this year," Hale said.
The cook-off is a benefit for the Suwannee
Historical Museum. Tasters paid $5 to roam the
porch tasting chili and munching on the various
snacks entrants provided to cleanse the palate
between tasting. Event proceeds went to the
upkeep and maintenance of the Museum.
The varieties of chili ran the gamut from Old
Fashion Pennsylvania Dutch Chili straight from
Lancaster, Penn. to Smart Chili from the Live
Oak Woman's Club, Artsy-Fartsy Chili from
the Live Oak Artists' Guild, Fire-House Dog-
gon Good Chili from the Live Oak Fire Depart-


ment and even Cowgirl Roundup Chili from
Altrusa. The Beverage Barn was there with
Barnyard Chili. The Live Oak Church of Latter
Day Saints cooked up Viva la Chili and Millie
Griswold of Dowling Park presented Kim's Fa-
vorite Chili by Millie. There was also Grand-
ma's Chili and Venison Chili.
There were several categories of winners.
Each received a trophy and the best Civic
Group took home $100 for their organiza-
tion.
Katrina Tannachion, an actual Live Oak Fire-
fighter, cooked up the winning entry for Fire-
house Chili. Live Oak Fire Department also
took home the $100 for Best Civic Group.
Live Oak Beverage Barn won the Commer-


cial Division with their Barnyard Chili. Cheryl
and Georgie Evans were the cooks. They also
took home the award for Best Presentation.
When asked what the secret to her chili was,
Cheryl Evans said, "It's all up here baby," as she
pointed to her head: "And we serve it every day


at the beverage barn."
The Best Individual entry chili went to Deb-
bie Jennings.

Aerial View


Of Live Oak In The Late 1930s
., -' '


This.is the view one. got of Live Oak from the air in the latter part of the 1930s. Note especially the way in which Highways
90 aniT129 went through the' city and compare with the way they traverse the city today. Many of the buildings can be identified
in the main part of the city which appears in the center of the scene. See how well you can place present day additions in this view.
Note the livestock market and the tobacco warehouse area. This picture created quite some comment when it first appeared. We
like to contrast it with today, do you?

part of Suwannee football."

vances that we as a country
have achieved. Let's face it
we are so busy that we nev-
er take the time to take care
of ourselves, and sadly our
children. We all work so
many hours making things
better, we forget the things
that are necessary.
Microwaves have replaced
ovens. Fresh fruits and veg-
etables have been replaced
with the sugar-filled canned
versions. For many people
the only running they do is
when they run through the
drive thru at their favorite
fast food chain.
Well, this is the wake up
call we need. Our county
(arid county) can overcome
this. We have done it before.
Smoking is on the decline
because years ago we dis-
covered the dangers of this
habit. This took time and
money, but we are seeing the
gains made. It began with
education of our youth. Not
only must we teach our chil*-
dren the importance of prop-
er nutrition and exercise, we
must set the examples our-
selves, especially if we are
placed in roles that children
see as leaders. Like it or not

This year's Most Dedicated
Sophomore went to Clay Ki-

went to Alex Fountain.
"The JV. season was very suc-
cessful," Martello said. "My
mission statement was to prepare
the younger players for success
at the varsity level. I feel we ac-


complished this."
The finale of the banquet is al-
ways the varsity awards chosen
and voted on by the players.
This year's Bad Dog Award
for the best offensive and defen-
sive lineman went to Terrell Ro-
man.

The focus for the Suwannee
football program is a return to
excellence next year, according
to football coach Bobby Bennett.


we are role models whether
it be of positive or negative
nature.
Let me be the first to issue
a challenge. Let's make
Suwannee County the fittest,
not the fattest, county in the
state. Let's face it we do
have some advantages that
other rural counties do not
have.
We have everything that is
necessary to achieve this
goal. The goal of this article
was not to offend any one
but sometimes we all need a
good kick in the pants to do
what is right. Do not be
afraid to ask me because I
would be more than happy
to help anyone achieve their
fitness goals.

Food Stores donate to Childrens'


Miracle Network at annual awards banquet


S&S Food Stores held its an-
nual Awards/Shands Childrens'
Miracle Network banquet last
week as employees were recog-
nized for their service to the
company and money was do-
nated to CMS.
S&S, which has convenience
stores in eight counties and em-
ployees 430, raised more than
$75,000 for CMN.
"We choose this organization
because it benefits our commu-
nities more directly," said S&S


owner Lester Scaff.
One store in the S&S group
raised $10,000 and a fishing
tournament at Bienville Planta-
tion in Hamilton County raised
11,000.
"We owe this great gift that
we are presenting Childrens's
Miracle Network to our em-
ployees and customers. They
made it all possible," stated
Scaff.
Scaff also attributed his com-
pany's, recogniziation as the


"Retailer of the Year" by the
Florida Retailer Federeation to
the Company's hard work and
involvement with CMN.
"We won this award because
of you (employees) and what
you do for the communities," he
said.
S&S has raised more than
$500,000 for CMN since it part-
nered with CMN 16 years ago.

Could someone you know be suffering
from a neurological disorder?
Is your child showing some signs that his motor skills are not up to par with his peers?
Perhaps he's a bit uncoordinated tripping and falling regularly while playing with friends. Is he
walking on his toes or complaining of leg pain? While these symptoms could be the result of a
number of conditions, you may want to ask your physician about an inherited neurological
disorder known as CMT.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, an hereditary neuropathy, is a close cousin to the better
known muscular dystrophy. It was named for the three physicians who discovered the disease
in 1886. CMT is the most commonly inherited form of hereditary neuropathy a condition where
extreme muscle weakness may occur, and ultimately can rob sufferers from normal use of their
legs, feet, arms and hands. Many people have the disease and don't even know it.
"Although CMT is the most commonly inherited neuropathy, very few people have heard of it,
even within the medical community. It affects more than 250,000 Americans and is the most
common genetic neuromuscular disease," says Allison Moore, who has CMT and is the founder
of the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF), an organization created to expand awareness
of the disease.
At what age does CMT occur? CMT can be present at any age, but symptoms usually do
not appear until adolescence or mid-adulthood. The symptoms are quite varied between cases
- some experience very mild or completely unnoticeable symptoms, while others have
debilitating conditions. In certain cases, particular drugs used to treat depression, cancer or
even some antibiotics can trigger the onset'of more severe symptoms in an individual.
In Allison Moore's case, a cancer diagnosis led to subsequent treatment by physicians who
were .unaware that the chemotherapy drugs they prescribed could trigger the onset of CMT.
Immediately after chemotherapy Moore experienced an impairment in her ability to walk, and
two years later was diagnosed with CMT.
What are.the symptoms of CMT? Typically people who are genetically predisposed to CMT,
were overly clumsy children, experienced frequent tripping or were slow runners. CMT can
present itself very mildly in childhood, which often makes it difficult for doctors to diagnose it
accurately. Later in life, and as the disease progresses, a decrease in muscle bulk in the legs
and feet may result, making walking very difficult without support or braces. In the most severe
cases, a person may lose the ability to walk and may require a wheelchair.
How do doctors diagnose CMT? A family history is a doctor's first step to see if anyone
else in the family has CMT. Neurological and genetic testing may be necessary to confirm
and/or diagnose CMT.
Is there a cure? There is currently no cure for CMT. However, with proper diagnosis and
treatment, those with CMT often lead healthy, productive lives. They may undergo physical
therapy, orthopedic surgery and, psychological treatment to help manage the symptoms, and
some may require braces and-other orthopedic devices.
How can I learn more? To learn the most current information about CMT, treatment options,
or to find a specialist in your area, visit the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) Web site
at www.hnf-cure.org.

LO CVE


By Pam Campbell
Valentine's Day is almost here, a day when most
people think of love. The stores are full of Valen-
tine cards, candy, stuffed animals, balloons, flow-
ers and all kinds of other Valentine gifts! It seems
as though it is almost like Christmas time again
with all the cards and gifts to buy to let someone
know that you love them.I know that it is fun to
give and to receive special Valentine cards and
gifts. It is a fun time for children to make their
own Valentine's or cut out lot's of hearts to deco-
rate a Valentine box. Many people, including chil-
dren at schools will celebrate this day with a
Valentine Party. Many men, will be buying roses or
jewelry for their special wife or girlfriend.
Valentine's Day is a wonderful time to remind
your family and friends that you really do care,
that you love them. Sometimes people need to set
aside a special day for that purpose, many times
people are so busy each day with things in their
own lives that they forget to let their loved ones
know how much they really love them. Valentine's
Day should not just be a day of giving Valentine's
and cards to our spouses, boyfriends or girl-
friends, or for children exchanging them with
friends at school. This special holiday day is a
wonderful opportunity for us as Christians to
share the love of God with many other people that
we come in contact with such as neighbors, other
employees, your boss, the postman, a teacher, a
special doctor or nurse, anyone that you come in
contact with in your life. It is a great time for you
to take something special by to brighten up the
day for.patients in a hospital or nursing home,
who may otherwise be forgotten. You don't have to
buy expensive gifts orcards, handmade cards, and,
small little gifts, or something baked or made by
you will show them much love.
On Valentine's Day you really need to remember
your mom, your dad, grandparent's, other rela-
tives and close friends, but especially remember
your spouse, your children or grandchildren, it
will mean so much to them that you remembered!
Don't just give to those that you think will give
you something, this is the time to show love with
no strings attached. Remember, it is better to give
than to receive! Now for the most important part
of the whole Valentine Holiday, LOVE, where
does it even come from? Love comes from God,
without God there can be no love. The Bible tells
us in John 3:16 how very much God loves us.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only
begotten son that whosoever believeth in him will
not perish but have everlasting life." Wow! Can
you imagine such love! You see the greatest love
of all is really Jesus saying to everyone "I stand at
the door and knock, if you open the door(to your
heart and life) I will come in. Revelation 3:20 You
see Jesus wants to give you his wonderful love!

He loves you so much
that he promises in
Hebrews 13:5 "I will
never leave you." Now
that is real love, the -
love of God. People
may leave you but God
never will!
When Valentine's 1

to show how much you
love your husband,
wife, children, grand- 4 /.
parent's or grandchil- :
dren and other family '
and friends by spend- 1, .
ing some time with
them and maybe giv-
ing them something to
say that you love them.
But most importantly
remember to let God know how much you appre-
ciate his love and desire to live more and more for
him. The greatest love of all is not shown with a
Valentine card or flowers or balloons, it is how
you show Jesus you love him by giving him your
heart. Matthew 22:37 "Jesus said unto him, Thou


shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
Remember, Valentine's Day issa day full of love,
remember to show God you love him the Father
.from whom all love comes. Have a very Happy
and Blessed Valentine's Day full of love!

Aunt Pams KIDS CORNER -Love


By Aunt Pam
Hey Kids! It's almost Valentine's Day!
I am sure by now you have seen the
boxes of Valentine cards, the packages
of Valentine candy and even Valentine
Stuffed Animals in a store somewhere.
You may already be making Valentine's
or cutting out hearts to decorate a
Valentine box! Maybe your school or a
friend is having a Valentine Party that
you plan to go to. Valentine's Day is a
day of fun and a day of love! I hope
that you will remember to be sure to
give a Valentine to your mom, dad,
grandparent's or whoever you live with.
Be sure to remember any brother's or
sisters, and close friends, too! You can
either make Valentine cards with paper,
doilies, markers, crayons, whatever you
have, or you can have someone take you
shopping and pick some out to buy at
the store. There are lot's of things that
you can make for a Valentine present,
any kind of craft makes a nice gift! You
can even make HUG coupons, just write
up little papers that say THIS COUPON
IS GOOD FOR ONE FREE HUG
WHENEVER NEEDED! Use your
imagination, there are lot's of ways to


show love, you could even help your dad
or mom or someone else with some
chore that needs to be done! The most
important thing is to remember to show
your family and friends that you really
love them!
Think about others this year on Valen-
tine's Day, don't just think about what
you might get. Remember there are lot's
of kids that won't even get a little Valen-
tine card. Maybe you can give someone
that is lonely, unhappy, or sick some-
thing to make them feel loved and spe-
cial!
Do you know where all this love
comes from? Have you ever thought
about it? All love comes from God, for
God is love. The Bible tells us in John
3:16 how very much God loves us. "For
God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son that whosoever be-
lieveth in him will not perish but have
everlasting life." Wow! Can you imagine
such love! You see Jesus wants to give
you his wonderful love! He loves you so
much that he promises in Hebrews 13:5
"I will never leave you." Now that is
real love, the love of God. People may
leave you but'God never will!


When Valentine's Day gets here re-
member to let your family know you
love them, but most of all remember to
let God know how much you love him.
The greatest love of all is not shown
with a Valentine card, it is how you
show Jesus you love him by giving him
your heart. Matthew 22:37 "Jesus said


unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind."
Remember, Valentine's Day is a day
full of love, let your family and friends
and especially God know that you love
them. Have a very Happy Valentine's
Day full of love!

Truth

I believe without seeing, I believe because I've read,
All the, truths within the bible are the words that Jesus said,,

The Bible teaches many things, the main objective is truth.
It puts the word in such a way, that man's heart is truly moved.

Some believe Mary was no virgin, and there is no deity in Christ.
Some say He was just a prophet, and could never give eternal life.

Some do not believe in a fiery hell, but they'll burn there just the same.
They just don't want to believe, that the blessed Savior came.

Some think God forgot stuff, so they make writings of their own.
Did they not read Revelation, chapter, 22: verses 18-21?

Some trust baptism, works, or a church house, to save them from the
torturing flames.

But the only protection provided, is in Jesus Holy name.

There are so many guilty of heavenly truth decay.
But by brushing up on the Bible, will teach that Christ is the only way.

Homeowners get cooking with outdoor kitchens


(ARA) Outdoor
cooking areas are the
hottest trend in
residential landscape
design, thanks in no
small part to the
versatility of segmental
retaining wall systems
(SRWs). They can range
from a modest firepit to
a full-blown outdoor
kitchen that will rival
the most lavish indoor
cooking areas, complete
with stainless-steel
appliances, granite
countertops and fully
plumbed sinks.
Simple, Yet Stylish
For the do-it-
yourselfer, an outdoor
cooking area. can. be as
simple as a paver patio
framed with low,
freestanding seat-walls
and a firepit in the
center, says' Jim
Christensen, landscape
architect with Villa
Landscapes in Oakdale,
Minn.
"With a modest
investment and a little
sweat equity,
homeowners can
transform an unusable
backyard space into a
stylish entertainment
area," says Christensen.
"Pairing an attractive
paver patio with
freestanding walls
around the perimeter
creates a cozy
atmosphere for a firepit.
I like Versa-Lok
retaining wall systems
because they're
available in a range of
styles, colors and
textures that
complement the variety
of paving stones on the
market, giving you an
array of design .options.
And they're easily
installed by do-it-
yourselfers and
landscape contractors
alike."
Solid Construction
Richard Ventola of
Green Acres Inc. in
Palisades Park, N.J.,
used the Versa-Lok
Mosaic retaining wall
system to construct an
outdoor kitchen,
complemented with
concrete pavers in a
matching color and
texture.
"It's the most popular
part of the back yard,"
says Ventola. "We built
it completely out of
Versa-Lok. The entire
cooking island is made
of solid retaining wall
units." Some of the
blocks had to be cut to
create spaces for the
grill and food storage
areas. The solid
construction of the units
made those
modifications much
easier than using hollow
blocks, he notes.
The segmental retaining
wall system is versatile
as well as attractive.


"We do a tremendous
amount of natural stone
in our landscaping,"
says Ventola, "but when
I need the consistent
size and shape of
concrete blocks, the
block closest-looking to
natural stone is Versa-
Lok."


Kitchen-Wall Combo
Robert Daniels of
Clearwater Swimming
Pool Co. in Centre Hall,
Penn., recently was
faced with the challenge
of installing an outdoor
kitchen in a back yard
with a steep slope and
deep, three-tiered
retaining walls. The
yard was adjacent to
woods, so Daniels
selected Versa-Lok
Mosaic for the tiered
walls.
"You get more of the
natural look with
Mosaic, and set back in
the woods, that
complemented the
environment."
Serperitine curves and
stepped wall ends soften
the appearance, and
large beds of plantings
separate the three tiers.
A paver patio was
installed across the top
of the first retaining wall
tier to create a cooking
and eating area. Built-in
stairs connect this upper
patio with the pool on
the lower ground level.
Then, in a creative use
of limited space, Daniels
carved a kitchen area
right into the 'middle
retaining wall that
includes a large gas
grill, refrigerator and
food preparation
counter. The entire
structure also was built
with Versa-Lok Mosaic,
so it's indistinguishable


S. .


from the wall itself.
"We had to make a
couple of modifications
to some blocks to get
power and gas into the
grill area, but with
Versa-Lok, it was easy
because they're solid
rather than hollow like
some wall systems,"
says Daniels.
Design Tips
Other things to
consider when
designing an outdoor
kitchen include:
Position the grill so
prevailing breezes carry
smoke away from where
people. congregate and
eat..


"2 ... .
Use a* solid
segmental retaining wall
system to achieve a
natural look that's also
"bulletproof" from the
elements, easily
modified and virtually
maintenance-free.
Slope countertops
and patios slightly so
rainwater doesn't pool
on them.
.* Make sure drainage
issues are properly
addressed,, particularly
where tiered spaces are
used.
Check with local
utilities, 'building codes
and manufacturers'
specifications before


installing outdoor cooking areas, contact
appliances. Versa-Lok Retaining

Mrs. Collffins, Spiritualist
Healer, -Reader Advisor
All who are unsuccessful, unlucky, dissatisfied, let the woman who knows
help you. She removes evil influence. If husband or wife is unfaithful,
see her now. She settles lovers quarrels, helps you gain the lost love and
affection of the one you love and shows you the way to happiness.
She names friends and enemies and tells you if friends are true or false.
She locates lost & stolen property. She does not claim to be God. She is
just a servant of the Lord who was brought here to help humanity. If you
have any problem concerning the past, present, future, love, marriage,
business, lawsuits, finances, health; if you are in trouble, sick or in love,
there's no problem so great that she cannot solve.
