"Anger is a normal emotion,".
Stokes said. "You don't get in trou-

the fact you are mad. You get in
trouble because of how you choose

Suwannee County School
Board Business Director
Richard "Rick" Norris. Norris,
56, of Live Oak, passed away
Friday, March 17 at North
Florida Regional Medical Cen-
ter in Gainsville following a
brief illness.
Norris:-began his career with
the School District April 1,
1987 as the assistant business
director under Business Direc-
tor Madelyn Baucom. After
she retired a couple of years
later, Norris filled the position.
He graduated from the Univer-
sity of Florida as a CPA and
was a member of Alpha Tau
Omega Fraternity.
"Rick was a good manager
of our financial resources and
was an on-task type of person,"
School Board Superintendent
Walter Boatright said. "When
we needed to know how much
money we had in a particular
budget, he provided it immedi-
ately. When he was given a
task there was always a quick
turn around for that project."
Boatright said Norris was a
quiet, business-like person.


"One thing, though, you
could get him to light up about
was his girls and wife and 20-
month-old granddaughter,"
Boatright remembers.
Boatright said Norris loved
to sing and play the guitar and
he and Sherry Peppers, who
works in the Accounting De-
partment at the School Board,
sang carols together this past
Christmas at the School Board
Christmas luncheon.
"When I asked Rick if he
would perform for the lun-
cheon he kind of smiled and
said, 'Well, we'll have to prac-
tice,"' Boatright recalls. "They
did such a wonderful job, folks
said after the luncheon that
they would have to do that
again."
"Norris had a huge responsi-
bility in making sure the Dis-
trict abided by federal and state
guidelines. He made sure the
bills got paid. He kept things
going," School Board Human
Resources Director Clyde
Sperring said.
Sperring, who attended Lake
City Community College with
Norris several years ago, said
Norris went the extra mile to

obtain grant money to fund pro-
grams for Suwannee County
students.
"He took his job very seri-
ously, but never let it show. In
stressful times he always had a
kind word," Sperring said.
Sperring said Norris talked
about his family a lot and
served as a volunteer assistant
softball coach at Suwannee
High School for many years.
He was also the treasurer of the
girl's softball booster club, he
said.
Leroy Hurst III, who has
been Norris' golfing buddy for
about 12 years, played golf
with Norris at Suwannee Coun-
try Club several times a week.
The two played against each
other on separate teams in a
"friendly wagering" competi-
tion.
"At the end of the day it was
just for bragging rights," Hurst
admitted.
The team who won would
have to buy the other team din-
ner at the Brown Lantern on
Thursday nights. The golfers
loved the game, so much they
traveled to several tournaments
each year as spectators.
Norris was known by many.
people for his calm, laid back
personality,, Hurst recalls that
when his 13-year-old daughter
found out about Norris' death
she said, "Oh, no. Mr. Norris
was the only one in the golfing

group that doesn't get mad."
Bobby Nelson, who has been
Norris' golfing partner for about
six years, said the players
would "rib" each other a lot,
mainly in the name of fun, and
when doing so Norris was often
the only one in the group who
never took it personal.
"You couldn't get to him. In
fact, when the guys were hav-
ing a conflict, Ricky would
calmly tell them to chill out,"
Nelson remembers.
Nelson said he "took" Norris
from another team and recruit-
ed him for his own team.
"We were short one player
and had to fill the spot. I solicit-
ed him from his group to mine
not only because he was a good
golfer but because he was a fine
friend," Nelson said. "By his
demeanor he was welcome in
any group."
Nelson was recovering from
bypass surgery in the same hos-
pital the same time Norris was
admitted for surgery. After Nel-
son was discharged the Tues-
day before Norris passed away,
he went to see his friend before
leaving the hospital.
"The last thing Ricky said
was, 'I will see ya in four or
five days,'" Nelson said.
The two were heading to
Jacksonville together this
weekend to watch a golfing
tournament. They also had
made hotel arrangements to at-

Walter H. Koranda, born in Oxford Junc-
tion, Iowa, will be celebrating 21 years as an
American Legion member. In 1942, a young
man of 19 years, he enlisted in the United
States Army Air Force. He was then sent to
St. Petersburg for basic training. Upon com-
pletion of his training, he was assigned to the
21-25th Quarter Master Division of the Fly-
ing Tigers as a mechanic and flown to India
to service air craft.
The next three years he spent in Burma and
China repairing and running supplies needed
to bomb and attack the Japanese war ma-
chine. While in China, Koranda remembers
how innovated the members of his outfit and
the Chinese became after the Japanese blew
up bridges crossing the rivers vital for sup-
plies. They would use boats and wood plank-
ing as bridges in order to keep all their air
craft supplied with gas, ammo and bombs. As
primitive as it sounds it worked and the Fly-
ing Tigers continued their job.
In 1946, Koranda was honorably dis-
charged and returned home to his wife, Jenny,
and started his family, four boys and three
girls, which included two sets of twins.

before you start to mark the wall itself. Make each square of the graph
paper equal to one inch of the wall. We made each diamond shape 12
inches wide across the middle, but you may alter that depending on the
width of the wall and the number of pattern repeats desired.
* After the background color has dried, mark the trellis design lightly
on the wall with a pencil or chalk. Use a wooden yardstick to draw
diagonal lines in two directions.
* Before painting apply plastic masking tape along the outer edges of
the design lines. Apply the tape carefully for a neater design.
* Cut out the tape where two diagonal lines intersect.
* Paint the lines in a lighter shade of the background color.
* After the strips of paint have dried for 24 hours, draw inch-wide
highlight strips over them.
* Apply more tape to frame the highlight strips.
* Paint the highlight strips white or another very light color.
* When the strips have completely dried, remove the tape.

I will prepare myself...


Walter H. Koranda,

veteran of World War II


By Mike Rothenberger
Dale Carnegie & Assoc. Inc., New York.
Copyright 2006 Dale Carnegie & Assoc., Inc.
We have all heard the story of the lad who
was born in Kentucky nearly two centuries ago.
He spent his youth in poverty. When he was
about seven years of age his family moved to
Indiana where, for the first year, they lived in a
three sided shed. A buffalo skin was hung
across the open side to keep out the sleet and
snow. His formal education amotmted to a total
of about one year. He learned to write, using an
old wooden shovel for a slate and a charred
twig served as his chalk.
, One day he bought a barrel of junk for fifty
cents. As he browsed through the barrel he
found a couple of old law books. Even though
his education was limited, he began to read and
to study law. He became intensely interested.
In the evening he read by the light of the crack-
ling flames in the fireplace, and in the early
morning hours he read by the light that shone
through the cracks between the logs of his mod-
est cabin. He made a steadfast resolution. He
said, "I will prepare myself and some day my
time will come." It is said that he often walked
as far as 50 miles to get his hands on a book
that he hadn't read. He didn't have the public
library downtown, on the comer, as we have to-
day. But an avid reader, his resolution dominat-
ed his mind, "I will prepare myself and some
day my time will come,"
When he was in his early 20s he moved to
New Salem, Illinois, where he worked in the
post office and in a general, store. But he ne\ er
lost sight of his goal. He persistently kept on
preparing himself and his time did come. He
became the 16th President of the United Staites.
Because of his keen insight, his profound ch.a-i
acter and his compassion for humanity, he er-
dearedhimself to the' hearts of countless thou-
sands of people lhr6tilii:ut the world. His re-
mains ino. rest in a magnificent tomb in a beati-
tiful cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. Hundreds
of people from around the world go there to iis-
it the place each year. His name will alwa, s ap-
pear high on the list of the immortals and. of
course, we know that his name was Abraham
Lincoln.
This story of success against great odds
should be an eternal source of inspiration to
each of us. Perhaps we don't aspire to be presi-

dent, but most of us would really like to make
more of our lives than we have. The opportuni-
ty for success is far greater now than it was in
his day. But it requires something of us. Do we
have the desire? Do we possess the tenacity to
prepare ourselves, to search out and discover
some of our hidden talents and potential abili-
ties, to develop them to the extent that they will
enable us to achieve? So many of us are in-
clined to sit back and wait for opportunity to
knock. But, have we equipped ourselves to
even recognize the opportunity and then to
make good use of it? It was Samuel Raybum,
Speaker of the House of Representatives for so
many years, who said, "Readiness for opportu-
nity makes for success. Opportunity often
comes by accident but readiness never does."
He was so right. Readiness is something that
each of us must bring about for ourselves
through self-preparation, through the develop-
ment of at least a part of the hidden potential
that lies within us.
When we fully comprehend this profound
truth, when we realize that self-preparation is
prerequisite to successful accomplishment, then
we too may be motivated to firmly resolve, as
did the immortal Lincoln: "I will prepare my-
self and some day my.time will come."

OPINION

AARP Florida opposes a state plan

for mandatory managed care plan
AARP Florida opposes a state plan to force
Floridians 60-plus to join a managed-care plan
(like an HMO) if they need vital Medicaid
long-term care services.
Forcing individuals into mandatory man-
aged long-term care severely limits their
choice
Most older Floridians are used to making
their own major life decisions. But a new state
plan would force Floridian's 60-okys into
mandatory Medicaid managed-care organiza-
tions, like HMOs, if they needed vital long-
term care services financed by Medicaid.
Once in such a plan, older Floridians would
find their choices severely limited. The HMO
would choose their doctor, their hospital, and
their nursing home. The HMO would decide
how much care they could, receive. The HMO
could even deny care that a doctor found was
medically necessary.
AARP Florida knows that your indepen-
dence-and-.choice are important to you and-
your family. To be connected toll-free to your
legislator, call toll-free 800-880-7640 and ex-
plain that you want to make your own choices
when it comes to your and your family's long-
term care.

Let's talk about letters
Tips on sharing your
opinions in the paper
-Newspaper readers love letters to the editor. For
that matter newspaper editors love letters to the ed-
itor.
Letters let us know what you think. Letters pro-
vide great reading. Letters offer valuable feedback.
Lately, readers of the Suwannee Democrat have
been sending us plenty of letters, and we encourage.
you to keep them coming. All letters will be read.
Not all letters will be published. Let us offer a few
letter-writing suggestions:
Keep it short We all prefer reading shorter
items that get to the point. An ideal range is be-
tween 150 and 200 words.
Don't rant. Nothing turns readers away like a
misguided rant. Aim for a persuasive, rational ar-
gument supported bv facts and figures.
Be topical. Know the issues that are in the news.
Letters focused on issues, particularly local issues,
are the best read.
Expect to be edited. Although the Suwannee De-
mocrat makes every' effort not to, all newspapers
should reserve the right to edit. The editor should
not alter the writer's point of view. Well-written let-
ters require less editing.
Be legible. If you don't have a computer or a
typewriter, please write clearly. If need be, print.
The Suwiiannee Demtocrat also requires letters to in-
clude the writer's name, address, telephone num-
ber and written signature. The telephone number
will not be printed but is used for verification.


This newspaper will not run unsigned letters.

OPINION

FIRST-PERSON: Ending partial-birth abortion


By Ken Connor

LEESBURG, Va. (BP)-What does a just society look
like? Thoughtful people will answer this question in
different ways, and there should be plenty of room for
friendly debate and dialogue. One practice that no rea-
sonable person would include in their vision of a just
society, however, is partial-birth abortion. Civilized
people should deem this barbaric practice an outrage
against humanity.
A partial-birth abortion typically is performed late
in a woman's pregnancy. A few days before the pro-
cedure, doctors induce labor. When the mother's wa-
ter breaks, the doctor uses forceps to deliver the baby,
feet first, until the child's body is entirely out of the
birth canal only the baby's head remains inside the
mother. Doctors then forcefully insert a pair of scissors
into the back of the baby's skull,. opening a hole
through which they suck out the child's brain with a
vacuum. After the skull has been collapsed, the "doc-
tor" delivers a lifeless little boy or girl.
This travesty occurs in America between 2;500 and
3,000 times a year.
Americans have tried on multiple occasions to rid
their country of this morally repugnant practice. Most
recently, in 2003, both the Senate and the House
passed a partial-birth abortion ban with large, biparti-
san majorities. A few days later, President Bush signed
that ban into law, finally outlawing the practice.
Even so, partial-birth abortions are still performed in
America today. Shortly after Congress passed the ban,
and shortly after the President signed it into law, three
federal district courts (in New York, San Francisco and
Nebraska) ruled that the law was unconstitutional and
struck it down.
On Feb. 21 the Supreme Court announced that it
would hear an appeal to determine whether the law is
constitutional. This will not be the first time the
Supreme Court has heard a partial-birth abortion case.
In 2000 the court ruled on a law passed in Nebraska
which banned partial-birth abortion. The court said
the law was unconstitutional because it did not in-
clude a provision to protect the health of the mother
(even though doctors have testified that this proce-


dure would never be used for
that reason, and notwithstand-
ing that such an exception has
been so broadly construed as to s
render the ban meaningless).
With Justice Sandra Day 0'-
Connor as the swing vote, the
Court struck down the ban in a
5-4 decision. Ken Connr
A lot has changed since the
court last took up this issue.
Justice O'Connor has retired and Justice Samuel Alito
now fills her seat. Also, Chief Justice William Rehn-
quist has passed away and has been replaced by John
Roberts. These changes, most notably the O'Connor-
Alito swap,,have shifted drastically the dynamics of
the court. Both Alito and Roberts say the judiciary has
a "limited role." This case will be a useful indicator as
to whether or not the two new justices will be true to
their word.
The fact that the Supreme Court has chosen to take
this case at all is a hopeful, but not definite, sign that
they will overturn the lower court's decision and that
the partial-birth abortion ban finally will go into effect,
protecting children across America. If the Supreme
Court is planning merely to agree with the lower
court, it could easily have decided not to hear the ap-
peal.
Pro-life people across America certainly will be
praying that the Supreme Court will issue a decision
that respects constitutional principles and the sanctity
of human life. No matter what the outcome is, this case
should remind the American majority (who believe
that partial-birth abortion should be illegal) how im-
portant judicial nominations really are. It is hard to
build a just society when appointed judges substitute
their personal opinions for the laws duly passed by the
people's elected representatives. It is even harder for
us to claim that our society is just, so long as infanti-
cide is given constitutional protections it does not de-
serve.

ASK DR. MANTOOTV


Q: What is an oral surgeon?
A. Some conditions in your mouth call for
surgery and for the skill of a person trained
as an oral surgeon. Oral surgery is a field
recognized as a dental specialty. Oral
surgeons specialize in the identification and
removal of teeth and/ or tissue from the
mouth. They also perform biopsies and can
remove tumors in the head and neck area.
The most common reason for seeing an oral
surgeon is the removal of impacted wisdom
teeth, the last teeth in the back of each group
of molars. Sometimes those teeth emerge at
an angle and don't fully erupt. The area can
become infected. A dentist will often refer a
patient to an oral surgeon for removal of the
teeth. An oral surgeon also can do
reconstructive surgery on jaws and other
areas around the mouth that were
congenitally misaligned or damaged in an
accident. An oral surgeon usually has four or
more years of continuing education after
dental school. Oral surgeons usually limit
their practice to oral surgery. Your dentist can
tell you more about the role of the oral
surgeon in your dental health.

E SUWANNEE DEMOCRAT/LIVE OAK


WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2006


PDAGF 6A


Spring officially arrived
Monday, March 20, and with
it came the beginning of my
61st year upon God's good'
earth. Yes, I know we girls are
notorious for -not wanting to
reveal certain vital statistics,
but I do believe the alternative
to being 61 is not quite as at-
tractive. And with the help of
Maybelline, Covet Girl and
Pond's Cold Cream, I plan on
looking as good as I can for as
long as I'm above ground. I
know a lady who will turn 80
on April 3, and every morning
she gets up she puts on fresh
make-up. She never goes any-
where without a tube of lip-
stick 'in her purse ... she
taught me well. Thank you
mama for my genes.
Spring is also a marvelous
time for beautiful brides and
handsome grooms. Heather
Renee Stansel: and Christo-,
pher Mattox certainly made a
picture perfect top-of-the-
cake pair as they were united
in the bonds of Holy Matri-
mony on Sunday, March 19. I
had the honor of officiating
the wedding ceremony, which
took place at 2 p.m. at the
Stephen Foster State Folk

DRUG TALK: Florida Office of Drug Control Deputy Director William Janes speaks about drug use at
a Juvenile Justice Prevention Summit in Live Oak March 14 held by the Third Circuit of the Depart-
ment of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Janes said drug abuse, the disease of denial he calls it, targets the
central nervous system affecting the brain, neurons and spinal cord. He told the students this af-
fects younger people much worse than adults because their bodies and minds aren't fully devel-
oped. Photo: vanessa Fultz '


SEATBELT USE: Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) Information Officer Lt. Mike Burroughs demonstrates
the consequences of not wearing a seatbelt at the summit March 14. Putting an egg in a jar and
shaking it up untilit was liquid, he told students this is what could happen to a person's organs
when he/she wrecks without wearing a seatbelt. Photo: Vanessa Fultz


IMPAIRED DRIVING: The Boys and Girls Club of Taylor County demonstrate how alcohol impairs
driving using a Simulated Impaired Driving Experience (SIDNE) vehicle. Students try to follow a
curved chalk line without veering off and hitting cones. When a remote control is pushed it causes
the driver to -lose control of the vehicle. This student found himself way off course after losing con-
trol. Photo: Vanessa Fultz

ROLLOVER, SIMULATOR: FHP Lt. Mike Burroughs shows how easy it is to be thrown out of a car
without security of a seatbelt at the summit March 14. Burroughs used a rollover simulator, which
once it spins, quickly throws out the dummy in the vehicle. Photo: Vanessa Fultz

Is that not four days of the
best music and artists you'll
ever hear? If that's not enough,
a special tribute to the late
great, world-renowned fiddler
Vassar Clements will be in-.
cluded on Vassar Clements
Day Sunday. A Vassar Memor-
ial will be hosted by Rev. Jeff
Mosier from 10 11 a.m.
Clements was a regular at the
Springfest and Magnoliafest
each year but died recently
from lung cancer.
'*If that's still not enough to
get you music lovers out of
that chair and to the Music
Park for a weekend, there will
also be workshops at the
Grand Hall on Saturday from
10 a .m. through the last event
that begins at 5:20 p.m.. with
some great musicians. These
workshops will include finger
style guitar with Sam Pacetti,


Clyde Walker and Jack
Williams; flat pick guitar
workshop with Larry 'Keel,
Gabe Valla and Dan Bletz; a
vocal workshop with Abby
Washburn, K. C. Grovers and
Shannon Whitworth; a fiddle
workshop with Darol Anger,
Ruth Ungar, David Blackmon
and Rayna Gilbert and a man-
dolin workshop with Mike
Marshall, Hamilton de Holan-
do, Josh Pinkham, Jeff
Pinkham and Steve Pruett.
Folks, it just doesn't get any
better!
The best description of the
music is given by Springfest
owners as Americana or Grass-
roots, which includes a flavor-
ful, rich blend of new and tra-
ditional folk, bluegrass,. new-
grass, roots rock, alternative
country, singer/songwriter,
rhythm and blues, Cajun and,
Celtic music plus a few things
that defy description. The
owners say they strive to ad-
here to and respect the great
traditions of traditional or
American Roots Music, while
offering a completely contem-
porary approach and, outlook
to all aspects of their produc-
tions.
Hosted by Magnolia Music
and Events, Inc., with owners
Randy Judy and Beth Judy, the
event has grown from just a


few hundred people to thou-
sands. You can even buy a tie-
dye outfit or just part of an out-
fit and browse the music tents
where you'll find musical in-
struments, tapes, compact
disks, and all sorts of interest-
ing things. And the food, oh the
food! There's all types of deli-
cious food available in the tents
outside the performance areas.
Events will be underway si-
multaneously in the Music
Hall, Amphitheater, Meadow
Stage and Old Florida Stage
throughout the music-filled
weekend. The festival runs
through Sunday evening.
Springfest was recently fea-
tured in the centerfold of
Coastal Homes & Lifestyles'
first quarter edition of 2006.
Four slick pages of this upscale
magazine were filled with col-.
orful photos by Wade Collins of
a recent Springfest that shows
the enthusiastic audience, and
Grammy award-winner Jim
Lauderdale performing. The ar-
ticle, written by Susan Vallee,
talks about the combination of
new and traditional folk, blue-
grass, roots rock, alternative
country, rhythm and blues, Ca-
jun and "a few things that defy
description" that are played at
this hugely popular event.
There will be'.a CD release
celebration for Blueground Un-
dergrass and the release of a
brand new Magnolia Memories

ongoing commitment to con-
tribute to furthering an atmos-
phere of continuous improve-
ment and leadership develop-
ment in our community."
"Dale Carnegie Training
has a reputation for really mak-
ing a positive difference in the
business and personal lives of
men and women," McGrana-
han added. "Which is %\hb
compares globallN. as %ell as
companies here in Suwannee
County and throughout North
Florida, use Dale Carnegie;
Training to improve perfor-
mance and develop leaders
within their organizations."
According to Regan, during
the forming of the class here,
this newspaper will publish a


series of feature articles by
Mike Rothenberger, Staff
Representative of Dale
Carnegie and Associates, Inc.,
New York. The series is enti-
tled, "I Will Prepare Myself."

tion of F. H. (Buddy) Folkner,

course in the area.
"The Dale Carnegie
Course, for over 93 years,
has been helping men and
women to live happier, richer,
and more successful lives
through the discovery and de-
velopment of their hidden tal-
ents and potential abilities,"
Folkner said, "such as the de-
velopment of greater self-con-
fidence, a keen memory and
more effective tools for com-


munication." He went on to
say that many companies use
the training, to improve their
team performance by reducing
communication problems,
strengthening their leader's
understanding of' how to ef-
fectively gain cooperation.
from people, control and re-
duce stress and worry in the
workplace and at home, as
well as to strengthen organiza-
tional skills by improving
their memory for facts and in-
formation. Folkner reported
that the Dale Carnegie
Course, during its 93 years
of operation, has graduated
over six million men and
women arind the course is of-
fered in all 50 states and in

The Legislature allocated

SES honor roll students rack up. awards


Suwannee Elementary School (SES) held its
second nine weeks honor roll assemblies recent-
ly to recognize students for their academic
achievement. Students who made an A or A/B
grades were awarded with many gift items do-
nated by local businesses. Students names were
also placed in a drawing for SpongeBob DVD
players, DVDs, CD players, CDs and video
games.
Gift items awarded to all honor roll recipients
were donated by Live Oak Bowling Alley, Waf-
fle House, McDonalds, Krystal, Taco Bell,
Wendy's, Little Cesar, Burger King, How-
land's Express, Dairy Queen, Live Oak Bever-
age Barn, Pizza Hut and Bank of America, Pub-
lix, Corn Cast and SES student council.
Items for the drawing were donated by Jackie
Roberts from Corn Cast and SES Student Coun-
cil officers.
The fifth grade-winner for the drawing was
Ronnie Britt, who won a SpongeBob DVD
player and SpongeBob movie. The fourth grade
winner for the drawing was Taylor Cashmore,
who won a SpongeBob CD player and a CD.
The third grade winner for the, drawing was
Gaberiel Baxter, who won a SpongeBob plug in
play video. For a list of all honor roll recipients
see pages 10 anrd 11A.
Almost 500 students made the honor roll this
second nine weeks, exceeding the number of
* honor roll recipients for the first nine weeks.
SES Association of Parents and Teachers
(APT) Secretary Shirley TenBroeck visited lo-
cal business people and asked what could be of-


fered to students as a reward for their hard work.
"The local business people agreed that we
should bring back the gold card for the kids and
reward them for their hard work in maintaining
good grades," TenBroeck said.
Each honor student received a certificate con-
taining reward items. They will go around town
for the next month or so to collect their rewards.
They also received a bulldog puppy paw print
adhesive that reads SES honor roll to be place
on their parents' vehicle or on their school fold-
ers.
"Be proud to show your puppy paw! We
hope this has given the kids more incentive to
work hard and get on the honor roll," Ten-
Broeck said.
Student Council President Jessie TenBroeck
and Vice President Catlin Hunt started each as-
sembly off with the pledge. SES staff also en-
tertained the students in each assembly with two
skits. Mrs. Cannon and Mrs. Hutchins' skit
called The Dead Women's Courtship" had stu-
dents laughing. Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Roush
skit "Mutt and Jeff' was also very comical.
"Parents please support your kids with their
homework; they need your help!" TenBroeck
said.
Ten Broeck said to SES honor roll students,
"Great job kids for making the honor roll! We
are proud of you and all thestudents who made
the effort to be on the honor roll. Don't forget
that the next honor roll will have even more
prizes, so get to studying and watch the good
grades come!"

Ordinance


Please join the
Drug-Free Coalition of Suwannee County


Continued From Page 1A

that says no one who has not
lived in the state 12 months
and within the city six months
can "register" for any munici-
pal election. While there's no
explanation of what "register"
means, Ivey received a copy
of a letter from City Clerk
Jimmy McCullers to Suwan-
nee County Supervisor of
Elections Glenda Williams
pointing out what the search
had found and that ordinance
#18 had never been repealed.
On April 12, 1977, the city
adopted Ordinance 599 adopt-
ing and enacting the city's first
Code of Ordinances, which
repealed any ordinances not
contained in 599 and exempt-
ing any ordinances not includ-
ed, such as Ordinance No. 18,
McCullers said in the letter.
The ordinance has not been
brought up in recent memory
nor applied to keep any can-
didate from seeking office,
including when Ivey ran .for
mayor four years ago. How-
ever, when Ivey ran four
years ago, he had a city ad-
dress but then returned to his
county address, according to
Williams.
Williams said Tuesday she
emailed the state and then
sent a letter asking for clarifi-
cation of the matter. That
question has now taken
precedence at the state level,
and she expects an answer
soon. Williams said she be-
lieves it's a municipal ques-
tion, and' the state wouldn't
have jurisdiction, based on
comments by Florida Elec-
tions Assistant Director Sarah
Jane Bradshaw to her. "I
won't make the decision,"
Williams said, indicating it
will likely be up to the Live
Oak City Council.
Although an earlier agenda
for a special-called March 30
city meeting at 5 p.m. at City
hall contained an item to-con-
sider amending Ordinance'
731 requiring persons seek-
ing the office of mayor to live;
inside the corporate limits of
Live Oak, a short time later
that item was removed from


the agenda.
"I plan to stay in the race,"
Ivey said this week after
learning about the discovery
of the ordinance. "It's the
American thing to do." How-
ever, he added that he's "out-
raged" over the "sudden dis-
covery" of the document. "It
reminds me of something out
of the 60s and 70s when tac-
tics and obstacles were used to
prevent African Americans
from registering to vote and to
seek office," Ivey said.
Ivey, who announced for
state representative several
years ago and later ran against
current Mayor Sonny Nobles
in the last election, lives in the
county. When he ran previ-
ously for the office of mayor,
he listed a city address. No
one mentioned the 1879 ordi-
nance, he said. Apparently the
city never brought this to the
attention of Williams either.
"This is the first I've heard
of this ordinance," Ivey stat-
ed. "My question is about the
fairness of the process." He
added that if he had known
such an ordinance existed, he
would have acted according-
ly. "If I had known this was a
requirement, I would have
taken steps to meet the re-
quirements," he stated. Ivey
said he questions the motives
behind "dusting off an 1879
ordinance and it's validity
since it never came up before.
Why was it brought up now?"
he said. "I question the tac-
tics, the timingof this revela-
tion of this document."'
Ivey, in an interview Mon-
day evening after he was con-
tacted by Williams and in-
formed of the situation, said
he, understood from Williams
when he inquired about the
conditions he had to meet to
run before he began gather-
ing petitions that he had to be
a city resident by election
day. His petitions were ap-
proved, and he moved for-
ward. However, Williams
said Ivey came to her office
several hoursbefore the noon
deadline to have the petitions
in and filed his intent to seek
office 'and turned in his peti-


tions. Williams said this didn't
give her enough time to clarify
whether Ivey is actually quali-
fied to run or not because of
his residency situation.
Williams said she chose to al-
low him to fill out the paper-
work and then determine
whether he could run rather

To expand the program, a
Peer Mediation Program was
implemented in the school
system to help middle school

solve their differences. Peer
mediation groups called for
students who were fighting or

how to resolve the situation
but come up with their own
solutions.

"We can get into the schools

Drug and non-drug therapies for dry eye
Dry eye. can be caused by a multitude of things arid is characterized by
red eyes that feel gritty. There are several remedies that can be used to
alleviate this condition. Non-drug therapies for dry eye can be used
alone or in combination with drug therapy. Environmental control, such
as avoiding dry, dusty, and windy spaces, is usually helpful.
Humidifiers in the home or office can help to moisturize eyes, and
prolonged viewing of a computer screen should be avoided when
possible.
Nonprescription drug therapies include artificial tears and eye
ointments. Artificial tears .help to stabilize the tear film and slow the
evaporation of tears. These products are easy to use and are usually not
messy. Eye ointments contain petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, or a
combination, and these products help to lubricate the eye and prevent

Cowboys Like Live Oak, Promise Bigger Rodeos In The Future


By William Regan
The place was Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Local citizenry
turned out to watch a handful of Texans attempt to stay atop
some wild stock.
At another place and time, Pecos, Texas was the scene in 1883.
Townsfolk penned some longhorns on the courthouse lawn, and
cowboys roped them on main street.
Thus, the beginnings of what were to become rodeos had their
groundwork laid People enjoyed watching those "crazy"
cowpoke wrestle steers, balanced themselvess with stability on
bucking broncos and bulls '
TODAY, THE SPORT OF rodeoing has mushroomed in
popularity and participation. The place now being focused upon
is the Suwannee County Rodeo Arena. It's perfect July summer
evening. The stands are packed, parking is overflowing in front
of the coliseum and local citizens ate watching with delight the
antics of cowboys trying to master their livestock counterparts.
Since the first rodeo in Suwannee County back in November of

1973, It has been an overwhelming success story.
Every year the International Rodeo Association brings its top
talents to Live Oak for competition, and every year the
grandstands fill to capacity.
Suwannee County Rodeo and Bicentennial Chairman, Larry
Snider. told the POST that he had no idea of how many people
gathered for this year's rodeo.
"I just couldn't hardly say how many people came this year,"
Snider resealed, -but there was a bunch."
David Morgan. one of the top IRA stock producers in the
country, said of this rodeo. "I have never seen a new rodeo take
off and be so successful as the ones held here "
The rodeo arena began taking shape in middle 1973. Various
citizens confronted Snider at that point and rime when he was
president of the Suwannee County Cattlemen's Association They
wanted to know how a rodeo could be brought into the County
SNIDER WENT TO THE COUNTY clerk's office to make
arrangements to get his request for a rodeo arena on the county
commissioners' agenda.
He asked for the use of the land, and the commissioners agreed
'to allow the cattlemen's association to use land in back of the
Coliseum to construct the arena.
Members of the association helped build it. Donations from

By Frank Dorman
It was a world record largemouth bass. It had to be.
George McKnight and Dennis O'Steen were fishing in a 1,000W
acre lake not far from here about a month ago and George
hooked what must have been the largest bass in the world ever to
grab a line and run with it.
The pair spotted something floating in the lake not far from the
boat. O'Steen said it was an old bass, exhausted and ready to die.
He told George to pull the boat up and he'd net the thing. As they
drew closer they could see it was a large tailfin breaking the
surface,
BOTH AGREED THE FIN MUST BE at least a foot across.
Dennis, who has seen an 18-pound bass before, said there was no
doubt that this was a world record. Anyway, the fish submerged
but resurfaced later about 30 yards away. He floated there a
~'t while and did the same thing again but they could never quite
catch up to it and the world record bass is still in that lake
ler somewhere.
Everytime McKnight and O'Steen work the lake now they can
hardly fish for looking out for the big one.
O'Steen caught 13-pound, five-ounce bass a couple of weeks ago
in an area lake, the largest recorded catch in the area this year.
He and McKnight were fishing just a week ago and George
finally got his chance at a really big one.


Valley Electric Co-Op aind block-laying help provided by the
Suwannee-Hamilton Area -Vocational, Technical and Adult
Center also helped the asirena take shape.
The arena was copied after the one located in Ada, Oklahoma,
and November, 1973 found big time rodeoin Suwannee Countyfor
the first time..
Support from area citizens was the main ingredient Snider
attributed to the rodeo's/ success.
He also mentioned thatlcowboy participants liked the arena's
facilities and the reception they received from the crowds.
"Several cowboys said to me that burs (rodeo) was one of the
best in the East," Snider stated "They like the arena and the
people here a great dea "
Another indication that Suwannee County has itself-a rodeo
that ranks with ones at tte top Is that IRA contestants would not
come from as far away us. Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and the
state of Washington without it having something good to offer,
Snider contended.
AND THE FUTURE OF THE RODEO arena looks bright.
According to Snider, the cattlemen's association is going to be in
line for a grant from thle state. The cattlemen will raise $5,000
and the state will put up $10,000.
The money will be used to increase seating capacity from the
present 1,000 to 4,000. Grandstand covers will also be included in-


He had his drag set too loose and the monster got away.
O'Steen told him the fish was larger than the 13-pounder he had
caught a week earlier. McKnight probably likes to fish with
O'Steen because the latter has probably caught more 10-
pounders in this area than any other angler, George said. George
hopes that good luck will rub off on his partner.
ONCE O'STEEN, A HIGHLY SKILLFUL angler, set the hook
on a fish so strong that it pulled the rod right out of his hand. His
partner, Tom Kennon, accidently hooked the line later and
brought up not only the rod but also a seven or eight pound
scrapper.
Th4t wasn't the only time O'Steen had a rod jerked from his
hand. He was fishing with Kennon another day when all of a
sudden he dived into the water leaving Kennon wondering what
for? A fish had pulled the rod from his hand again and he didn't
wait to explain why he was leaving the boat. He finally managed
to retrieve his $160fishing outfit in about eight feet of water.
Another time O'Steen was fishing with Tom Abercrombie and
his line broke but he wasn't about to lose that fish. He jumped
into the water and caught an exhausted seven pounder with his
bare hands.
LOU GRIGSBY HAS HAD HIS ROD snatchedfrom his grasp at
least three times, the last time he managed to catch a three-
pound bass anyway. Some tall fish stories, huh?


the appropriated money.
"Each year the rodeo will continue to grow," Snider said.
"Better rodeos will be produced and we'll always have top talent
here." : I
Two-hundred and forty-one cowboys participated in the rodeo
this year. They liked the arena, they liked the people here and
they felt welcomed. Snider reported.
"When you have a combination like that,'! he added, "you're
going to have one good routine' and tootin', bang-up of a rodeo;
and, we sure had that."


99 Pounds Of


Bass, Not Bad

After an extraordinarily enduring day of fishing Saturday,
June 5, the Suwannee County Bass Masters amassed 99 pounds,
12 ounces of bass.
The 15-hour trailer tournament, most of which occurred at
White Lake, was the club's first intrasquad competition since
their victory over the LakeCity club lastmonth.
It was a chilly morning with some fog as the first fishermen
boarded their boats. The wind picked up a little until the sky
cleared and the temperature rose, making it a long, hot day of
fishing for the Suwannee County anglers. The heat kept the men.
from catching many fish during the afternoon but It wasn't a bad
morning for bass.
DENNIS O'STEEN CAUGHT THE greatest number of pounds
of fish, 16. Dorian Haefeker caught 11 pounds, six ounces, and
Rick Nelson pulled in 11 pounds which included day's big fish, a
seven-pound, 1O-inch bass.
Lou Grigsby hauled in 10 pounds, three ounces, George
McKnight caught nine pounds, 12 ounces, and Larry McClamma
finished the day in sixth place with eight pounds, 14 ounces.
Tom Kennon was seventh with seven pounds, eight ounces,
Tommy Musgiove caught seven pounds, four ounces, Don Lewis
netted six pounds, three ounces, and Mike Dingus caught five
pounds.
CHARLIE BEAN HAlD THREE pounds, eight ounces, Bob
Moss had one pound, two ounces, and Stan Williams and Marty
Bray caught one pound each.
The high-point boat award was won by Lou Grigsby and Rick
Nelson who caught a combined 21 pounds, three ounces of fish.

"I was really nervous
when I saw the crowd,"
Burrus said. "I didn't turn it
on until the second round."
Burrus went 3-1 at the
state meet and even
achieved a pin in his semi-
final match. That semi-final
match was against a Clay
wrestler named'Soileau that
had beaten Burrus three
times during the regular
season.
"I told my dad, I want it
more than him," Burrus
said.
Wrestling is now the
main focus for Burrus. He
has left his karate days be-
hind. You can still see the
experience of those 100
competitive karate matches
in Burrus' poise on the
wrestling mat and in his


rus stated. "I was used to
it."
"Karate gave him a lot of
self-confidence," said dad
Oscar Merritt Burrus.
Burrus has been wrestling
for Suwannee High coach
David Laxton since the
sixth grade.
"I saw this poster for
wrestling before sixth
grade," Burrus said. "I de-
cided to sign up."
Burrus wrestled for Lax-
ton in Columbia County
and decided to transfer here
to wrestle in the Suwannee
High program.
"Coach Laxton has a lot
to do with Merritt's suc-
cess," dad Burrus said.
"And his teammates were
very supportive of him
coming from Lake City."
Burrus plans to wrestle
year around, attend

Christian bands rock the culture

Wild AdventuresrJm2 6,5

hosts Winter Jam 2006 Jim Me


Vanessa Fultz

Winter Jam, Christian
music's biggest concert
event, made its way to Wild
Adventures Feb. 18 on its
2006 tour. With a strong
message and a 21st Century
beat, new and seasoned
artists alike drew a crowd of
fans.
Rock vocalist, musician
and songwriter Krystal
Meyers kicked off the
event. Holding an electric
guitar almost as big as she,
the 17 year old put on a per-
formance with energy and
enthusiasm. A big focus of
the concert was Meyers'
"anticonformity" message,
highlighted by her infec-


tious anthem Anticonformi-
ty, a song she uses to lead
her peers in finding identity
in God instead of society.
The passionate teen de-
buted with her self-titled al-
bum a couple of years ago
and is hard at work on her
second album.
The Canadian punk-
rock/pop band Hawk Nelson
followed in a performance
with hard-hitting lyrics set
to an energetic sound. Lead
singer Jason Dunn capital-
ized on God's love at the
concert saying, "If there's
anyone here who has ever
wanted to commit suicide or
who feels worthless, there's
a God who cares."
In addition to producing

The classic band New-
Song, who hosted 'Winter
Jam, followed with a 'con-
temporary Christian music
experience. One of the lead
singers of the group gave a
testimony about his' deci-
sion for Christ following
desperation and being Lstici-
dal. "That's \%hat the %korld
had to offer and that's
where I was headed," he
, said before he led the crowd
in a salvation prayer.
In NewSong's 20-plus
year career they have won
numerous Dove awards and
achieved one Grammy nom-
ination, yet the group re-
gards its greatest accom-
plishment the countless
souls touched and saved
over the years.
tobyMac and his hip-hop
dancers hit the floor, cata-
pulting fans toward the
stage. The performance led
the audience in an energy-
driven, urban pop and hip-
hop experience mixed with
edgy-rock undertones.
Tackling social issues
through lyrics about real-
life experiences, tobyMac
seemed to conquer mission
work with artistic musical
flair. During the concert he
told the crowd, "No matter
what kind of hole you find
yourself in God can get you
out."
The artist, formerly with
Grammy-winning group DC
Talk, has completed two
solo albums, both garnish-
ing the title hip-hop album
of the year by the Gospel
Music Association.

tralian pop-rock band,

Obesity prevention should
start during childhood


There is a silent epidemic spreading
throughout America. It is insidious and
ravaging, and its victims are our children.
What is it? Obesity in children 'has
emerged as a serious threat to our nation's
health.
Mary Ellen Renna, M.D., a board certified
pediatrician and a physician nutritionist, is on
a mission to reverse this trend.
To combat this, she has developed a
family-based nutrition and fitness program
designed to educate children from infancy
through adolescence. Here are some Dos &
Don'ts from her program entitled '"Next
Generation Fitness with Mary Ellen Renna,
M.D."
1. DO plan your meals every week so that
you are able to keep track of what you are
eating.
2. DO incorporate foods that the whole
family is comfortable with. There are healthy
alternatives for nearly every kid-favorite food.
3. DO eat fruits, vegetables, protein, grains,
nuts and dairy daily. This will keep your
children full and less likely to turn to foods
with empty calories.
4. DO involve the whole family in meal
planning, exercise and family outings. The
whole family's involvement will ensure
success.
5. DO get your children to exercise at least
three times a week, 60 minutes per day -
which can be broken up into six times each
day for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Assisted Lit


1. DON'T ever skip a meal. Skipping meals
deprives the body of important nutrients and
may cause you to overcompensate by eating
empty calories later.
2. DON'T completely eliminate the foods
children are used, to eating. Instead, try to
make healthy versions.
3. DON'T make deep-fried foods a part of
your diet. Replace these with foods that have
been saut6ed, baked, roasted, broiled, or
grilled.
4. DON'T expect the children to participate
in good nutrition and exercise without parents
being good role models.
5. DON'T rely on gym class or sports-team
involvement to teach your kids lifelong exercise,
habits. Children need to learn to exercise
without being a part of a sports team and get
into the habit of an exercise routine.
For additional information on the program,
including a nutrition guidebook and fitness
DVD, visit

Mrs. Collffins Spirituast
Hfeae, RcaTr, 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.

performance was an atten-
tion getter with streams of
smoke shooting from- the
stage and an air-lift drum
show. Nearing the end, kids
were racing to the front to
collect patriotic confetti
which shot out like snow
from the stage.
Several songs from the
group's last two albums -
Adoration: The Worship Al-
bum and Devotion were
crowd pleasers. Adoration
was Newsboys' fifth al-
bumn to reach certified
Gold status and resulted in
numerous sold-out concerts
during spring 2004.
In an interview a couple
of days before the concert


Meyers said, "It matters
more what God.thinks than
what friends think. This
takes care of the fear of re-
jection."
Meyers, a typical teen
previously attending public
high school, faced peer
pressure with this attitude,
and she said taking a stance
against the status quo be-
came a ministry for her.
Believing she can reach
teens by speaking a lan-
guage only they can under-
stand, Meyers is promoting
her "anticonformity" mes-
sage with boldness. "Let's
pursue what God has for us
instead of the world," she
akid about not conforming
to the status quo regarding
appearance, social status
and relationships. "It's not


acter. You can dress mod-
estly and be hip, not com-
promising your faith and
morals."
"I want to bring up an
army of the next generation
with a message for us to be
leaders and be what God
wants us to be," Meyers
said about her goal to help
guide and shape young peo-
.ple.
"High school kids tell me,
'you and your testimony
and songs give me strength
to stand,'" she said.
In a sneak peak interview
With one-third of ZOEgirl,
Alisa Girard said the group
wants its passion for Jesus
to come out in the music,
providing lyrics filled with
hope and life. One of ZOE-
girl's key missions is to


about appearance but char- reach today's teen girls by


connecting closely with
fans and those accompany-
ing the group on mission
trips.
"As we meet more and
more young girls, we find a
lot of them are hurting be-
cause of abuse and emotion-
al pain," she said. "We want
to give their pain a voice
and address these issues."
Girard said teen girls who
are in church deal with the
same issues as any typical
teen, yet often even worse.
"These girls feel like they
are supposed to be at a cer-
tain level, and this results in
secrecy," she said.
Girard said throughout
the band's mission trip ex-
perienrces many girls have
admitted temptations of
self-injury, to cut on them-
selves as a release of the


pain inside. Girard, herself,
authored the song Scream to
give voice to pain and a
message of hope and heal-
ing. She said the song was
almost like a musical jour-
nal where she was honest
with the Lord about even
her pain and experience of
depression.
The song's gripping lyrics
shout pain at first: Does
anybody know how I feel?/
Sometimes I'm numb/Some-
times I'm overcome/ Do I
have to scream for you to
hear me?/ Do I have to
bleed for you to see me?/
Because I grieve and you're
not listening to me.... The .
end of the song, though,
does a redemptive turn
about: I don't have to
scream for him (Jesus) to
hear me/ I don't have to


bleed for him (Jesus) to see
me....
"While writing the song,
when the lyrics changed,
God touched me. He said,
'you're clean. You don't
have to live in shame. I see
you; I hear you; and I love
you,'" Girard said.
Girard said the hit Scream
gets the biggest response
through emails and 'letters
and by comments during
concerts. She said ZOEgirl
gets a lot of support from
"moms" who are apprecia-
tive of the group's ministry
and come to the concerts
with their daughters.

Gorgeous gardens inside out


(ARA) Gorgeous
gardens are simple to
cultivate when you
nurture plants from the
inside out.
So say scientists at Eden
Bioscience who
manufacture a plant health
regulator called
Messenger.
According to these
gardening experts, the
difference between a good
gardener and those with a
bright green thumb is the
knowledge of how to help
plants reach optimal
health.
To have the healthiest
plants in the
neighborhood, Jeff
McClellan, a horticultural
specialist with Messenger
advises that gardeners first
make sure that plants,
trees, shrubs and anything
else gardeners grow
receive the basic nutrients
they need.
"That puts the necessary
building blocks in place for
success, but it doesn't
guarantee it," says
McClellan. "The secret that
separates an average
garden and an outstanding
garden lies within the
plant itself."
Eden Bioscience's plant
health regulator,
Messenger, promises to
unlock a plant's natural
ability to super-perform in
the garden. The active
ingredient is a naturally
occurring protein called
harpin. When applied to a
plant's leaves, the harpin
protein boosts the plant's
ability to defend itself
against diseases and helps
it to better absorb
nutrients ..- '
"Enrancing a plant's
natural defenses is one of
the best ways to make sure
that plants reach their full
potential," says McClellan,
"and Messenger unlocks
that ability." It's an inside-
out effect that boosts a
plant's resistance to stress
and disease that puts the
plant in control of its own
health.

Crazy for camellias in
Carolina
Ann Cully of South
Carolina raves about the
way Messenger
transformed her garden
last summer.
"It had an amazing
impact on my camellias,"
says Cully. "All of my
plants were so healthy and
robust last season, and I
attribute that to
Messenger. "
Cully says that she was
most amazed when her
camellias bloomed for six
weeks longer than usual.
"Cully's experience is
not unusual," says
McClellan. "Because the
Messenger-treated plants
are better able to absorb
nutrients, they tend to
bloom earlier and longer
than non-treated plants."

Purist gardener from
Pittsburgh
Messenger is not a
fertilizer, plant hormone or
a fungicide, which is why
gardeners like Betty
Labutis of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
are comfortable gardening


with it. "I am a purist
when it comes to
gardening, and I won't use
pesticides or fungicides on
my flowers or vegetables,"
says Labutis.
After years of trying to,
grow disease-free roses
organically, Labutis was
about to give up.


"Last summer I had
considered removing my
climbing roses, and then I
heard about Messenger,"
she says. "I was skeptical
at first, but two weeks after
the first application I saw a
dramatic improvement.
My roses were gorgeous,
no black spot or powdery
mildew and they were
blooming like crazy."
Plants, like people,


require proper nutrients
and look and feel their best
when their immune system
is up and stress levels are
down.
For more information on
how Messenger works, to
find a retailer or to learn
how it has transformed
American gardens for the
last three years, visit
www.messenger.info.
