My family and I wish to thank everyone for their prayers, cards, visits and finan-
cial help during my most recent bout with cancer. We are most grateful for the love
shown to us in our time of need, and ask that you continue to remember us in your
prayers.
Therehave been so many people over the last six years who have helped us in var-
ious ways since my initial diagnosis in 2000, and words would never suffice to truly
thank all of you.
A special thanks goes out to the members of the Live Oak Church of Christ, who,
as always, have been there for us.
My family and I hope that we have finally put this cancer behind us and can move
on with our'lives.

I'm writing, to thank the citizens of
Suwannee County for 'their support of-the,
American Cancer Society's 10th.Annual Re-

generous support of the community, they
raised over $56,000 for the fight against
cancer-that's a huge jump from the $33,000
that was raised last year!
The event committee was led by first year
chair, Marti CarVer. Her dedication and
leadership was responsible for the success
of this event. The all-volunteer committee
handled every aspect of the event from lo-
gistics to survivor involvement to entertain-
ment.
Corporate sponsors are an important part
of the support we receive at Relay For Life
events. This year sponsors ranged from na-
tional corporations to local businesses. We
were very proud (and thankful) to have Wal-
* Mart ,'-61d,,- ist';i Poole Realty, Puiblix Su-
permarket Charities, Suwannee Valley Elec-
tric Cooperative, Inc. and Walt's Live Oak
Ford as sponsors of the event as well as to
have the support of the Suwannee Democrat.

your dedication and hard work and we're so
excited that five teanms have already signed

vivors attended a reception with food donat
ed by Advent Christian Village, Publix

Diana Robinson announces for District 4 County Commission
SDiana
Robin-
son, after
careful
consider-
ation ,
has made
the deci-
sion to
,', run for
Diana Robinson t h e
Suwannee
County Commission seat in District
4. Like most people in our commu-
nity, family is important to Robin-
son. Coming from a pioneer family
in Suwannee County, she .still lives
on the Mills family farm andlenjoys
the God-given blessings that country
living affords.
Robinson and her husband, Larry,
own Jay's Family Restaurant in Live
Oak. "We as small busi-
ness owners face daily the
challenges of meeting
payrolls, labor problems
and the rising cost of do-
ing business," Robinson 7
said. "My experiences as
a small business owner
have given me a strong appreciation
of the need in Suwannee County to
create good paying jobs for our resi-
dents," stated Robinson.
As a mother and grandmother,
Robinson said she "realizes our chil-
dren are the heart and soul of our
county's future. How we handle the
next 20 years will shape the future of
Suwannee County, for good or bad,"
she said. "That is one reason I
prayerfully made the decision to
seek this office. Everyday, more
families are moving into the coun-
ty," Robinson said. "We must be pre-
pared to meet the demands on infra-
structure and services today or suffer
the consequences tomorrow. We
.simply cannot afford to make the
same mistakes that South Florida has
made in overbuilding, under plan-
ning and failing to appropriately
manage growth," Robinson said.
For the past 16 years Robinson has
worked for the Florida Legislature.
She served as the Legislative ASsis-
tant for the past eight years to State'
Rep. Dwight Stansel. Robinson
worked with five to six small county
governments, as-
sisting them with
recreational grants,
historical grants
and with their year-
ly budget request
006 during her legisla-
tive career. "Small
rural counties have
to struggle to get their share of state
revenues 'before the larger counties
swallow the revenues as quickly as
they want to swallow our water,"
Robinson said. "It is 'of the utmost
importance that our County Com-
missioners be willing to work with
and in Tallahassee to find solutions
to the unique problems our 'small
counties face. As a small county. ad-
vocate, I can offer stable effective
leadership," stated Robinson.
Robinson cited several issues that
are critical for District 4. "The Well-
born area needs to have a staffed
EMT station which would reduce the
response time for medical emergen-
cies," Robinson said. "Road Main-
tenance is another avenue that needs
to be addressed. New methods are
being used successfully in other
parts of our county, why not in Dis-
trict 4?" she asks. "An aggressive
road paving program prioritized by
impartial. formulas rather than cozy
relationships is needed in the dis-
'trict."
The 4th District is tired of being
left behind. Leadership, a strong be-
lief in right and wrong, and the abil-
ity to make sound judgments based
on facts are needed. Diana Robinson
has the ability. knowledge and expe-
rience to make the difference as your
County Commissioner.

BOYD REPORT
Where's the accountability?
By Congressman Allen
Boyd
(D-FL)
Imagine a business that
could not tell its sharehold-
ers what happened to. bil-
lions of dollars. This busi-
ness would be held liable for
financial negligence and
most likely be forced to
Allen Boyd close its doors. Our federal
government, the biggest
business in the country, could not account for
$25 billion in 2004; however, no one has been
held accountable and few seem to care.
Similarly, 19 of 24 federal agencies were un-
able to produce a full audit of their spending in
2005. How can the federal government work ef-
fectively .when agencies cannot account for tax-
payer dollars? The answer is that it cannot.
This ineffectiveness is seen in record-high bud-
get deficits the past four years and the highest
federal debt in the history of our country.
The problems and the negligence do not end
here.: In the last six years, Congress has abdi-
cated completely its' oversight role. For exam-
ple, the Go ernmretr' .Ac-gL.ntabjiirtyL Offi-'.q
(GAO) and the veteranss Affairs' (VA) Inspector
General have issued multiple reports since 2000
about VAcyber-security problems and the need
to upgrade VA information technology security.
Also, in four of the past five years, the VA has
received a failing grade on an annual cyber-se-
curity review by the House Government Reform
Committee. However, Congress has ignored
these disturbing reports and failed to call on the
VA to improve its data security measures. Had
Congress paid attention to any of these findings,
the recent VA data security breach may have
been prevented, and the personal data of 26.5
,million veterans would not be at risk. This dis-
regard of vital information reflects the way Con-
gress has abandoned its oversight role during the
current era of one-party rule in Washington.
Congress must return accountability to our
government and renew its duty to serve as a
check-and-balance for overspending, waste,
fraud and financial abuse within the executive
branch. I am co-sponsoring two pieces of legis-
lation that will restore financial responsibility in
federal agencies and keep a better eye on tax-
payer dollars.
The first piece of legislation, introduced by
Congressriman John Tanner (D-Tennessee), would
provide more congressional oversight by holding
hearings within 60 days of Inspector General re-
ports that indicate financial mismanagement of
more than $1 million. This legislation also
would call for hearings when the GAO raises a
red flag over a federal agency's accounting prac-
tices. Currently, findings by the Inspector Gen-
eral and the GAO often are ignored, but this leg-
islation would not allow Congress to shirk its
important oversight responsibility.
I also have co-sponsored the Accountability in
Government Act to hold federal agency heads
accountable when they cannot produce a clean
audit. This legislation would require the Senate
to hold reconfirmation hearings on any Cabinet-
level official whose agency cannot fully account
for its spending within a two year period. Our
own personal businesses cannot get away with
careless accounting practices, and it is time for
our federal agencies to be held to these same
standards.
It is no wonder Americans have shown an in-
creasing distrust of their federal government-its
leaders are unable to account for their tax dol-
lars, and these leaders are not punished. To re-
store and uphold the people's trust, I believe we
need strong enforcement measures to make Con-
gress and the federal government more account-
able for taxpayer dollars. The American people
should not be footing the bills for our federal
government's fiscal mismanagement. I hope the
American people will"demand more from their
government and join the 'in 'saying that enough is
enough.
When I wrote
in my last May-
or's Corner that
Alberto was
(
lurking out
there, I certainly
did not, think
that the storm
would material-
ize within two BY SONNY
days. I don't
think I need to.do any more weather
forecasting. I suppose if we had to have
a storm, Alberto was the kind we need-
ed. From all reports I received, there
was no damage in the city. A few
downed limbs and some very minor
flooding are all the problems we expe-
rienced. I understand there were some
power outages in the area, but they
were corrected in a timely manner. We
certainly needed and appreciated the'
rain. I needed it bad at my house as I'm
sure _yo.u did also. I tried to keep my
tomatoes, peppers and squash alive
with some limited watering. I can't af-
ford to put much of that high price city
water on them. The rain came just .in
time to hopefully save my peas and
peanuts. The only problem now is that
the grass and weeds will grow like mad.
If you didn't make it to Millennium
Park for the first Millennium Nights
program, you missed a real treat. I was
very pleased with the crowd that
showed for the inaugural program. Lo-
cal performers presented some very
high quality' entertainment. I was very
impressed with the folks who shared
their talents. We have some very talent-
ed people in our community as you al-
ready know. Herold White and I have
been working on this event for months.
Herold did an excellent job putting it
together. I would not have expected any
thing' else. He has been in the entertain-
ment field for most of his adult life. A
big THANK YOU goes out to Herold
and those who entertained so well and
made the first Millennium Nights a big
success. New performers have already
-signed up for ihe next event tao be held
tonight and ever\ other Friday night
thereafter. Councilman Ken Duce
promised he would perform the other
night, but he didn't come through. I'm
not sure what kind of talent Ken has.
We need to check with Lawana to see
what his talents might be. Make like
Elvis and shake a leg down to the Mil-
lennium Park. Bring an appetite with
you. Christ Central Ministries Church
will again be serving burgers and dogs.
A very pleasant and entertaining
evening awaits you.
Cable rates are again going up. I'm
surprised it took a year for rates to rise
again. Basic service will go up .43 to
$14.71 with the ,standard service in-
creasing .91 to $31.31. Since the cable
industry was deregulated, local govern-
ments no longer have any control over
rates. Contact your Congressional rep-
resentatives and voice your feelings.

VJL. I. l that we would re-
CORNER ceive the
$250,000 I have
been telling you
about to rehab old
City Hall. That is
very good news.
The bad news is
NOBLES that the new roof
on the building
leaks. It is suspected that the flashing
around the very top of the building is
the culprit. This .problem will be cor-
rected in a timely manner.
The city is doing some rehab on the
brick pavers on the downtown side-
walks. Some sank while others buckled
primarily from tree roots. These pavers
are attractive and add to our city, but.
they require-periodic attention.
Chief Nolan McLeod of the Live Oak
Police Department will be installed-as
the new president of the Florida Police
Chiefs Association. His installation
will take place in Daytona next
Wednesday, June 28. Our congratula-
tionsgo out to Nolan for achieving this
distinction. Not only does this honor
and recognize. Chief McLeod, it also
brings recognition and notoriety to our
police department and the cityrof Live
Oak. I know Chief McLeod will serve
with honor and distinction. Good job,,
Nolan.
It was, uplifting to see all the vehicles'
at the Lowe's Hiring Office across from
First Federal. Many are applying and
interviewing for the many jobs this
business will bring to our community. I
hope they all wore their seatbelts to the
interviews. As I have relayed to you on
several occasions, economic develop-
ment is one of my main goals as your
mayor. The Council and staff at City
Hall have adopted a very progressive
and aggressive attitude in an attempt to
bring jobs and prosperity to our Suwan-
nee County community. We need the
jobs theses new businesses bring for
our locals and others who are. interested
o~9ing here. I delivered five anmes
,) A C O M M- I, ,' L!-i t t i
to Susan at the Chamber last week of
people requesting information about
the area with the idea of relocating
here. By now, I probably have other e-
mails requesting this same type info.
Don't forget the Andra Davis Week-
end Celebration scheduled for this
weekend. The theme of the celebration
is "You too can do it; you can make it
happen'." A banquet, essay contest, pa-'
rade on Saturday morning and a free
'lunch followed by an old fashion field
day at First Federal Sportsplex high-
light the weekend activities. I got a.call
from Jeff Waters with the Cleveland
Browns organization inquiring about
the activities. He Was very impressed
with our community for its efforts in
recognizing Andra and his accomplish-
ments. A big THANK YOU goes out to
the many who worked so diligently to
make this event happen.

Suwannee County Clerk of the
Court Kenneth Dasher and State
Representative Dwight Stansel serv-
ing as co-chairs of the Suwannee
County Rod Smith For Governor
Committee.
"Rod Smith is the one Democrat
who can win in North Florida, and
Fm proud to be part of his team,"
said Rep. Stansel, who will serve as
a North Florida campaign co-chair
for Smith.
Smith's campaign says Rod
Smith has a unique understanding
of the issues affecting North Flori-
da. As a state attorney or state sena-
tor, he has served in districts repre-
senting 11 North Florida counties.
The campaign adds that as a cham-
pion of Florida's small counties in
the Florida Senate, Sen. Smith has
served as chairman of the Senate
Agriculture committee, won fund-
ing for small county courthouses
and is a member of the Small Coun-
ty Coalition.
Smith moved from Oklahoma to
Palm Beach County at the age of
two. There he grew up working in
the fields alongside his father, a
truck farmer. He graduated from the
public schools in Palm Beach
County and then earned a BA from
the University of Tulsa and a law
degree from the University of
Florida. He and his wife, Dee Dee,
have been married 23 years and
live in Alachua.
As a two-term state attorney
from the Gainesville area, Smith
successfully prosecuted some of
Florida's most dangerous crimi-
nals, including the man charged in
the Gainesville student murders.
He also led efforts to protect the en-
vironment by creating one of Flori-
da's first environmental crime task
force units. And, he has been a
leader in strengthening Florida's
war against crime, establishing one
of the state's first special prosecu-
tion units devoted exclusively to
prosecuting crimes against women
and children.
According to County Commis-
Jerry Blair Dwight Stansel
sioner Randy Hatch, who will serve
on the local campaign steering com-
mittee, "Rod is a guy who under-
stands North Florida. He knows
what's important to us in this part
of the state, and that will make him
a great Governor," Hatch said
"I am honored to have the sup-
port of such distinguished leaders,"
said Sen. Smith. "Having lived in
and represented North Florida for
so many years, I understand the is-
sues; and as Governor, I will work
to preserve this way of life."
Others serving on the local cam-
paign steering committee are Sher-
iff Tony Cameron, County Com-
missioner Doug Udell, School
Board Chair Barbara Ceryak,
Suwannee County School Board

AMERICAN LEGIONNAIRE
OF THE MONTH
John J. Bero
John J. Bero will be celebrating his 51st year with the -a: i || i .
American Legion. Born in Thorpe, W.Va., he was -
drafted into the army in March of 1942, at the age of
22, and sent for basic training at Fort Bragg, N.C. Af-
ter basic training, Bero was assigned to Anti-Tank -
Company 327th Glider Infantry 101st Airborne. He Fp "
was then sent to England for extensive training. On
June 6, 1944, Bero landed on Utah Beach, Normandy,
"D" Day. Then on Sept. 7, 1944, his company went on
to the invasion of Holland. In gliders, Bero's company
landed in Eindhoven, Holland and they spent the next
71 days fighting the Germans. After a short well-de-
served rest period, Bero's outfit was sent back to the
front when the Germans broke through during the.
Battle of the Bulge which lasted from Dec. 15, 1944 to
Jan. 15, 1945. Unknown to Bero, his brother, Sgt. .'. .
George E. Bero was also there, just a few miles from
his position, with the 99th Division and killed in ac- .
tion on Dec. 16, 1944. His company marched on to
Germany. John J. Bero
Bero's campaigns and battles include Normandy,
Ardennes, Central Europe and the Rhineland. He received the following decorations and citations:
Bronze Star Medal, Belgian Corix De Guerre, American Theater Service Ribbon, European African
S Middle Eastern Service Ribbon, Distinguished Unit
S ...Badge, Good Conduct Medal, World War II Victory
Ribbon, Marksman Rifle M-1, Expert 37 MM, Anti-
Tank Badge, Combat Infantry Badge and Glider
Badge.
One of the things Bero remembers while training on
gliders was his pilot was a. movie star before being
drafted into the army. His name. was, Jackie Coogan.
After being honorbly discharged, he returned to
West Virginia and married Helen Wood in 1966. In
1989, they moved to Live Oak and enjoyed them-
-.- ,selves until her passing in April of 2001. Bero has been
S. .the American Legion chaplain for the past several
years and one of the most respected members.
He hopes things settle down in Iraq, so our troops
can come home. Even if you don't support the war, as
Americans we should support our troops over there
defending all of us.
Bero attends First United Methodist Church in Live
John J. Bero Oak and always has a smile for everyone.

.. Stanley James aims to make a
T difference in the classroom
Retired government
administrator is
training to teach
social studies
After 30 years in state
government, Stanley
James, 88, thought it was
time to retire and enjoy
the good life in Madison.'
He looked around and
saw that the good life
could usb some im-
provement. That's when
James began to consider
how one person could
make a positive impact
P on the community, espe-
cially in the lives of
Af fican-American.
youth.
Coming from a long
line of echducators-his
grandmother and moth-
er were teachers, as is his.
wife, Audrey-it was nat-
,J. .ural for James to view

NFCC to teach social studies in the fall. Photo: Submitted things I could do to help

youth better citizens,"
he said in a recent inter-:
view. "That's \\-hat led
me to consider becom-
ing a teacher. As a black
man, I could become a
model for black youth.
Being in the classroom
was the way to do it," he
said.
Divine intervention, as
he put it, may have
brought James together
with the Educator
Preparation Institute
(EPI) at North .Florida
Community College
(NFCC).
"A couple of commu-
nity meetings I attended
had me thinking about
what I could do. One
was about Madison's
planning for the future.
Another was about ways
to increase black male
enrollment at the college
[North Florida Commu-
nity College]," related
James. "The timing was
perfect for me. Things
came together .when I
heard Dr. Phil [Dr.
.Phillip Mantzanas]
speak of the need for
African American men
to pursue a second ca-
reer in teaching and be-
coming role models for
black youth," said
James.
James, who has a de-
gree in political science,
is now taking education
courses through the Ed-
ucator Preparation Insti-
tute '(EPI) to become, a.
social studies .teacher.
He plans to finish
coursework by Oct.
2007. In the meantime,
he has applied for a tem-
porary. teaching certifi-
cate allowing him to
teach while he is en-
rolled in the EPI pro-
gram. James hopes to
teach at Madison Cen-
tral School, where
"There are only a few
male teachers. We need
more," he said.
The Florida legislature
created the EPI program
in 2004 to meet the need
for more K-12 classroom
teachers. NFCC was one
of the first community-
colleges to establish an
institute. EPI provides
professional develop-
ment for current teach-
ers, substitute teachers
and paraprofessional in-
struction. There is also
.an alternate route for
mid-career professionals
and college graduates
who are not education
majors, but who want to
enter the classroom. Dr.
Phillip Mantzanas di-
rects the program at
NFCC.
"The program suits

SCHOOL
Wellborn School Reunion
The first graduating class of
Wellborn School was the class
of 1940, 66 years ago, and it
was proudly represented by
two of its members, Lillian
Stevens Duncan and Ernest
Williams, at the recent 26th
.Annual Wellborn School
Alumni Reunion.
1940 was also the year the
Suwannee County School
Board decided the time was
right for Wellborn to employ a
home economics teacher, and
that the school could have 12
grades. Who would have
thought that, in just 26 short
years, it would be but a mem-
ory? Yet the memory lives on,
in the hearts and spirits of
those who once walked the
hallowed halls and sat in the
classrooms of Wellborn
School ... home of the'Fight-
ing Wildcats, whose purple
and gold banner once waved
proudly..
Lots of laughs, handshakes,
hugs and childhood memories
were shared by those who
were in attendance for this
year's school reunion; held
April 18 in the fellowship hall
of Wellborn Baptist Church.
The reunion is an annual
event, open to all former stu-
dents, elementary high
school, who may have attend-
ed Wellborn School, before its
closing in 1966. And though
this year's reunion fell on
Easter week-end and organiz-
ers of the event knew atten-
dance would likely be effect-
ed, they decided to hold it as
always on the third Saturday in
April.
Forty-seven former stu-
dents of Wellborn School
stood proud as the Rev. Tom-
my Andrews, a graduate of
the class of 1951, opened the
reunion with the invocation.
He then led his friends and
fellow school mates in the
Pledge of Allegiance to Amer-
ica's flag.
Some traveled from far and
wide, while others came from
near and close. Thomas E.
Johnson journeyed all the way
from Arlington, TX, and
Clyde Moseley from St. Au-
gustine. They enjoyed sitting
at one of the round tables with
Boochie Bullock, Robert Tay-
lor, Frank Taylor, Hayes Hunt,
Eddie Joe McLeran and R. A.
Fouraker, all laughing as they
shared good-time memories
of their boyhood days in
school at Wellborn.,
And we all know girls just
want. to have fun. Helen Mc-
Mullen Cribbs and Dorothy
Thomas Roberts, both gradu-
ates in 1945, relived girlhood
memories along with Iris
Morgan Stansel, an alumni of
the 1946 class, and Ella Mae
Morgan Vann and Pearlie Mae
Walker, graduates of 1948.
Susie Skinner Buchanan,
Gary Bailey and Opal Key
Thompkins were the young-
sters of the reunion crowd. All
three were among the last stu-
dents to attend Wellborn
School. After the school's
closing, its remaining stu-
dents and faculty were trans-
ferred to Live Oak .and points
beyond. The purple and gold
banner of the Fighting Wild-
cats of Wellborn School
would fly no more except in
the memories of those who
cheered them on to victory!
Helen McMullen Cribbs
brought along the hand-made
basket she received 61, years
ago, a graduation gift from
her home economic's teacher,
Miss Pearle Tendill. Linda
Dye was given the honor of
drawing the winning tickets
from that very basket for the
various prizes given to lucky
ticket holders.
The happiness of seeing old
friends was shaded with sad-
ness. A draped table, beauti-
fully decorated by Pearlie
Mae Walker, featured purple
and gold silk flowers, a white
memorial candle, and a pic-
ture, frame that displayed the
names of five former class-
mates who are no longer
among them. As each person's
name was called out, Boochie
Bullock tolled a bell in honor
of that person's memory.
Rev. Louis Berry closed
this year's reunion with the
benediction.
Thanks should surely go to
those who organized the first
reunion, in 1980: Helen
Cribbs, Denward Morgan,
and. Bernice Williamson.
Let's hope this wonderful tra-
dition stay's alive, along with
the spirit of the Fighting
Wildcats ... may they forever
ROAR!

Joshua A. Key named United States National Award Winner in foreign language
The United States Achieve-
ment Academy (USAA) an-
nounced recently that Joshua
A. Key of Wellborn has been
named a United States Na-
tional Award Winner in for-
eign language.
This award is a prestigious
honor very few students can
ever hope to attain. In fact, the
Academy recognizes fewer
than 10 percent of all Ameri-
can high school students.
Key, who attends Suwannee
Middle School, was nominat-
Josnua A. Key
ed for the national award by
Carmen E. Scott, a Spanish
teacher at the school. He will
appear in the United States
Academy's Official Yearbook
for which is published nation-
ally.
"Recognizing and support-
ing our youth is more impor-
tant than ever before in Amer-
ica's history. Certainly, Unit-
ed States Achievement Acad-
emy winners should be con-
gratulated and appreciated for
their dedication to excellence
Dear Residents of District 4 Suwannee County,
My name is Louis J. Berry, resident of Wellborn Florida for the past. 55 years. I retired from education in
1991 after 31+ years. I had 21 years at Lake City Community College and the balance with the Suwannee
County School System. My reason for placing this ad in the local paper was my idea, no one asked me to.
I wanted to express to my friends and neighbors what I know concerning Mrs. Jane Lowe who has
qualified as a candidate for School Board District 4 in the upcoming election. 1 have known Jane Lowe
for many years. Her husband Terry was born about the time I came to Wellborn and was reared here in our
Community. Terry's father, Blake, is deceased but Terry's mother, Marion, my wife, and I. have continued
as friends for over 50 years.
Mrs. Lowe comes from a hard working, highly respected family in Hamilton County. She has taught high
school history for 20 years in her home town. She has taught in public school systems for 31 years. She
also served on the North Florida Community College Board of Trustees until she and Terry moved home
to Wellborn.
The reason I decided to place this information in the paper is I know Jane Lowe is qualified and I can
assure everyone, she will be an asset to our school system. I attend Wellborn Baptist Church with Jane and
Terry every Sunday. In fact, I had decided to ask Mrs. Lowe to consider this position when she came and
asked me what I thought about her seeking the position on the School Board.
Jane Lowe has been in education and in both K-12 arid Community College leadership for several years.
Her life is teaching children and her heart is geared to the care and progress of young people. She has
proven her dedication to children and education. She will be a strong advocate for children, teachers, and
school employees.
Suwannee County has a great school system. My wife and I have seen our two daughters and five
grandchildren attend Suwannee County Schools. We are proud'of our children and the education they
received here at home. Our schools will continue to progress with Mrs. Lowe serving our community.
I am retired, but glad to be a part of any effort to support our school system. I am sure some voters in
District 4 do not know Jane Lowe, at least not as well as we know her and '" *'
her family. So I trust you will at least make an attempt to meet her. I stand A
ready to assist anyone in any way I can to help every on be able to know her i
I respectfully ask that you read Proverbs 3: 5-6 and follow it in your
decision. Please feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions I
might be able to answer concerning the Lowe Family.
Respectfully submitted,
Reverend Louis J. Berry

HEALTH CARE
The 2006 Budget contains major funding for our seniors and
children alike. It restores Medicaid coverage for adult hearing
and vision services, and expands the amount of time nursing
home staff can spend with individual patients each day. This
increase will serve to ensure our citizens are properly cared
for in nursing home facilities. The 2006 Legislature extended
the Florida KidCare program to include children ages 1-4 who
were previously ineligible for the program. Low income par-
ents can now purchase high quality health coverage at low
cost, for all of their children.
JUSTICE
The state budget provides funds for the local Sheriff's office to
contract with the Department of Juvenile Justice to administer
a new STAR juvenile program to help our troubled youth.
This program replaces the previous boot camp program
which was eliminated during the 2006 Legislative Session.

*Public Records:
I sponsored and the Legislature passed House Bill 1563
which gives the Clerks of the Court the authority to
remove confidential information from a published court
record. With this legislation, we protect our citizens from
the potential for invasion of privacy and also limit oppor-
tunities for identity theft.
Oyster Surcharge & Oyster Planting:
I sponsored and the Legislature passed House Bill 1249
which eliminated the "unjust" fifty-cent surcharge placed
on each bag of oysters harvested and sold in Franklin
County. This bill also provides recurring annual funding
for oyster management and restoration.
Education:
Funding public education was a priority for the 2006
Legislature. A combined,$31.9 billion was appropriated
for Pre-kindergarten, K-12, community colleges and uni-
versities. District 10 Public Schools received up to 11.7%
increases over last year, and $13.2 million in special facili-
ty funding to complete new school construction.
*Statewide Distance Learning:
Funding continues for the horticulture industry assuring
technological and practical advancements. This distance
learning initiative provides training and services and has
a significant impact for the horticulture communities both
in the district and statewide.

HURRICANE
PREPAREDNESS
Noted Weather Channel Hurricane Expert, Dr. Steve Lyons
met with House Members during the 2006 Legislative Session
to bring them up to date on the projections for the 2006 hurri-
cane season. Rep. Kendrick and Dr. Lyons discussed the over
300 miles of District 10 Gulf coastline. Both encourage coastal
and inland citizens to "be prepared" for the 2006 huri'icane
season.
To encourage and assist
Florida citizens to prepare
for the hurricane season,
the Legislature established
and provided a 12-day
sales tax-free holiday that
exempts essential items
needed during hurricanes,
such as flashlights, coolers, batteries and generators. A $250
million fund for hurricane mitigation was established to help
Floridians prepare their homes to withstand hurricane

. Fowler said he -and Wooley
had "two sit down, hard
meetings" within the last six
months.
Hatch said reasons to fire
Wooley had not been made
known during a board meeting
and asked for reasons, but
none were given.
Commissioner Billy
Maxwell suggested the board
amend the motion to give
Wooley "60-90 days" to come
up to par rather than firing
him at this time. His motion to
amend the first motion to that
effect failed for lack of a sec-
ond.
Maxwell said since his offer
for the 60-90 days didn't get a
second from the board and he
couldn't get any help from the
board, it put him into a diffi-
cult position. "I resent being
in this position," Maxwell
said.
"You can vote any way you
want, but you ain't' going to
put a guilt trip on me for not
going along with this," Com-
missioner Doug Udell said.
After Udell asked how the,
county would hire another co-.
ordinator when word gets out
the county fired Wooley,
Fowler said the county has al-
ways been able to hire some-
one.
Udell disagreed, saying he
would make sure everyone
knew and that no one would
accept the job because it was
his intent to tell the applicants
"what's going on."
Udell said Wooley has "per-
formed the best of any (coor-
dinator)" the county has hired.
"To bring a person to a public
meeting and humiliate him
and embarrass him, that's not
my mode of operation," Udell
said. Udell said Caruthers
was trying to fire Wooley be-
cause Wooley wouldn't do
everything just the way
Caruthers wanted. "I believe
with my heart and soul he
(Wooley) wouldn't do any-
thing to harm Suwannee"
County;" Udell said. "What's
the reason for you to take such
dastardly action as you are
about to do tonight?" Udell
asked of Caruthers and
Fowler, but got no answer. "I
think there will be a public
backlash!" Udell went on to
say he felt "some" commis-
sioners on the board had a
backlash agenda, but "I will
take no part in firing Johnny
(Wooley) or Donald (Robin-
son, assistant county coordina-
tor) or Jerry (Sikes, Public
Works Director) who are
putting forth their best efforts.
A few years ago everybody
who ex-
pressed
concern
got fired!"
Udell said.
Hatch
told the
board his
first meet-
ing with
Jesse Caruthers Wooley
"was not
auspicious," but he's since
come to appreciate Wooley's
abilities, noting the two had
worked on numerous
statewide problems, including
the one that
concluded
last week
with the sign-
ing of the fis-
cally con-
strained

the motion to fire Wooley.
"He's one of the best men
I've ever worked for!" said
. Steve Sharpless, who is the
county's building department
director. "Mr. Jesse, you've
got a lot of nerve, you're do-
ing like those did to you."
Sharpless, who lives in
Caruthers' district, said he was
so mad "I can't think straight"
over the motion.
Govan Knight, who works
for Sharpless and is a Sheriff's
'Posse volunteer who worked
for years to write and get
grants to built the rodeo arena.
at the county's Coliseum and
fairgrounds, warned the board'
that firing Wooley would set,
the country, back. "If you fire
him, you're going to bust up
the whole office. I beg you not
to do this.",
Branford resident Jim Ward,
a regular at Commission
meetings, expressed his dis-
may over the motion. "This
seems like a pretty absurd way
of doing business to me, and I
come here every two weeks
like you. This ain't the right
way -to do business," Ward
said. Pointing at Maxwell,
Caruthers and Fowler, Ward,
said he had a problem with
each of them.
One Live Oak man w ho ran
for Commission and lost, felt
diffeientl. Wendell Hill said
he didn't understand why the
county even needed a cotinty
coordinator because the com-
:nissioners -were paid to do
that job. He said lie recentdi
spent the day "in Branford
with Bubba Ross" discussing
county issues and that "things
have gotten out of control" in
the county. Ross, a former
District 5 Commissioner, ran
against Hatch two years ago,
but lost. Hill eluded to "more
new vehicles running up and
down the roads and nobody
knows who the hell they be-
long to."
Within hours of the meet-
ing, Caruthers faxed a letter to
Wooley June 21 at 12:41 a.m.
instructing Wooley that both
Sharpless and Knight were
"24-7 not 9:00 to 5:00" em-
ployees. Canithers further
asked Wooley to "please fol-
low the time requirements for
disciplinary action as per the
county's rules and regulations.
"If you feel you cannot rule in
this matter, I will advise the
county attorney to seek the
other alternative," Caruthers
said in'the letter. Caruthers
also requested a written report
on the action that Wooley
would take before the time
limits expired.
Both Sharpless and Knight
were issued reprimand letters
for insubordination of the per-
sonnel rules for going against
Wopley's request to his em-
ployees to not get involved in
. Wooley's personal problems
\' ith the board. '

every business, agency and
individual to have emer-
gency plans in place.
At the meeting June 8,
Suwannee County Health
Department Community
Health Nursing Director
Wanda Crowe discussed
with participants about con-
cerns involving the plan.
She said the group will
work on the education piece
of the plan first, which once
published will be dissemi-
nated into the public as a
handout.
Crowe passed out.index
cards to participants, asking
them to list what they .felt to
be the top three goals to be
included in the education
piece. The first handout will
answer questions, such as:
What is a pandemic? What
causes a pandemic? It will
also provide information
about what individuals and
businesses -can do to prepare
and how to limit the spread
of germs and prevent infec-
tion. It will also list several
websites for additional in-
formation.
A series of handouts will
be distributed to the public
that will offer various facts
and helpful information.
* "The more prepared busi-
nesses, schools and organi-
zations, can be and the more
information they can get to
their employees about their
plan, the better off we'll be.
It's through the preparation
the information gets passed
down to individuals,"
Crowe said.
At the meeting it was
pointed out that handouts
also need to be written in
Spanish. Once published,,
they will be distributed to
every business and public
place possible for individu-
als to obtain. The. will also
print the handouts in Eng-
lish and Spanish.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention is
providing funding for the
state of Florida and each
county to implement the
plan. The first increment of
funding was $9,403 to be
used from May through Au-
gust. The plan will be writ-
ten by Aug. 30.
At the July 13 nteeting the
committee will have a
workshop to identify what
each agency and business
will be able to contribute to
the plan. Madison County
Health Department Public
Health Preparedness Coor-
dinator Jerry Combass will
conduct the workshop.
,At the first meeting the
committee discussed the
need for more team players
representing all types of
businesses, agencies and or-
ganizations. Anyone who
falls in this category not al-
ready involved may call
Wanda Crowe for more in-
formation at 362-2708.
SUWANNEE HIGH SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE ALL IN A DAY'S WORK: As it turned out, the "suspicious
package" found at Suwannee High School early Tuesday, June 20 outside the front door was a
"smelly situation." The white Styrofoam package from a television shopping channel turned out to
be nothing more than a delivery gone bad with crab meat inside that was, well, a bit smelly by the
time anyone noticed the package and thought it was suspicious. Live Oak Fire, Suwannee County.
Sheriff's Office and Live Oak Police all responded to SHS just after 7 a.m. but had resolved the sit-

Hunters generate record
issuance of gator permits
In less than four hours June
15, all 4,406 of the state's alli-
gator harvest permits were is-
sued to 2,155 hunters wanting
to experience the thrill of alli-
gator hunting.
Despite a computer glitch
that blocked permit sales for
about an hour, permits sold
out between 10 a.m. and 2
p.m. June 15.
This marks one of the few
,times hunters have gobbled
up all available permits since
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
,(FWC) began offering
statewide alligator hunts in
1988. The FWC issues per-
mits on a first-come, first-
served basis. Last year, the
FWC.issued only about 2,800
of the 4,300 available permits
because of a shortage of ap-
plicants.
At its February meeting, the
FWC decided to give hunters
more flexibility in scheduling
their hunts, and it voted to ex-
tend the length of the alligator
hunting season. Also, unlike
alligator hunts in previous
years when hunters could pur-
chase only one permit, the
FWC offered 2006 hunters the
option of buying multiple per-
mits. These strategies worked.
This year's season will in-
clude 41 additional hunt days
and will run Aug. 15 through
Nov. 1.

ligator hunting, visit

Choquette comes

Fain Skinner
places seventh
Just a few short years ago at
Orlando SpeedWorld, a young
man appeared who had no as-
phalt experience but was great
on dirt. In fact, he was a mas-
ter on dirt at a very early age
but wanted to try asphalt. So
he came to SpeedWorld with
his new asphalt Super Late
Model and the rest has been
history.
In 2004, a young and not
well known Jeff Choquette
dominated the Governor's Cup
and dominated a few races af-
ter that. Last night at Colum-
bia Motorsports Park, the Cho-
quette of two years ago came
to life once again.
At a packed house at Co-
lumbia Motorsports Park, fans
saw Wayne Anderson top the
field of 20 in qualifying with a
16.851. Tim Russell, Jeff
Scofield, Mike Bresnahan, and
Chris Fontaine topped out the
top five. Anderson pulled the
7 pill putting Chet Morrison of
New Orleans on the pole and
Choquette on the outside.
Fans were treated to an on-
track autograph session where
they could get up close to not
only the drivers but the cars.
Then it was time to race as the
Crew Chiefs made sure their
drivers were securely buckled
in foT the race,
.Choqueltte spent no time,
taking over the pole followed
* by Chet Morrison, Mike Bres-
nahan, Chris Fontaine and Jeff
Scofield on the green. Bresna-
han quickly passed Morrison
for third as Scofield passed
Fontaine for fourth with
Wayne Anderson on the move
for fifth and Fontaine in sixth.
Mac Johnson, who was run-
ning seventh, was on fire as he
passed Fontaine taking over
sixth as Scofield and Anderson
were hot on Morrison's heels.
Scofield made the pass for
third as Anderson followed
thru for fourth with Morrison
settling into fifth.
The race was on as Ander-
son and Scofield were deter-
mined they wanted the same
spot. Anderson would go on
the outside with Scofield on
the inside and eventually An-
derson won the battle and took
over third as Scofield went to

gave him a win for Closest to the Pin. Second clos-
est to the Pin went to Sam Roberson.
Second place for the tournament went to the team
of Wade Skinner, Barney Barnmhart, Michael Collins

The School Board recently voted to ap-
prove naming the Suwannee High School
(SHS) Softball Field the Richard A. Norris
Softball Complex after the late Rick Norris.
Norris, formerly the school business director,
passed away a few months ago after an ill-
ness.
SHS Head Softball Coach Jeff Smith and
Assistant Softball Coach Jan Schenck attend-
ed the School Board meeting to present com-
ments about the name change.
"When Rick Norris died we invited our
varsity team to go to his viewing. It was at
that time many of the girls who did not
know him, because they were freshmen or
sophomores, became very aware of his im-
portance and his love and passion for
Suwannee softball," Schenck said at the
meeting.
After attending his viewing, Schenck com-
mented to the team about naming the field
after Norris. A few days later she received a

Martello, summer basket-
ball exposes all the incom-
ing middle school players*
to the Suwannee High bas-
ketball system. "As much
as they can learn makes it
easier," Martello said.
This summer Martello
has a huge crop of kids
playing ball. "We had 20
kids come out this year,"
Martello said. He said 20
tion pattern. Suwannee lost
two games to Mayo in
Lafayette County recently.'
Summer ball is played
with a rolling clock until
the last 30 seconds.
Suwannee lost the first
game 42-46 and the second
game by a lot more. But,
Martello said all the kids
got to play. Mayo only
fielded nine players and
they were Mayo's best.
Mayo came to Suwannee
and played two games.
Martello split the 20 play-
ers into two groups of 10.

i o
Sin big tournament
. The Suwannee Stars 12 and
under Girls Fastpitch Softball
Team competed in the USFA
Merchant Fastpitch Tourna-
ment in Tallahassee on May
27 and May 28. This was a ,
single elimination tournament
so it was a tough one to win.
The girls showed tremendous
heart and endurance with
temperatures reaching the
mid 90s. They posted four
wins against one loss and fin-
ished in third place overall in
a tournament that consisted of
10 teams.
Game four was the most
exciting game of the season
for the Stars. They played the
Davie Gold Coast Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes posted a 3-0
lead early but Suwannee
showed their grit, coming
back to take the lead 4-3.

phone call from School Board
Vice Chair Julie Ulmer that
Board member Jerry Taylor
came up with the same idea.
Schenck said Norris' con-
tributions to the SHS Softball
Field, has provided her
daughter Lea Schenck and
others with a nice facility for
playing ball.
"It's a privilege to have the
softball field we have. If it
weren't for Rick we wouldn't
have the facilities, the lights,"
she said.
She said after visiting other
districts this year, the team
found out there are many
softball fields out there that
don't have facilities as nice as
SHS.
"All the other teams could
talk about is how wonderful
our facility is. It really exem-
plifies what Rick stood for,"
she said.
"It was kind of fun to see
all the coaches from the other
teams come and said, 'man
you've got a nice place,.
here.' We go to some places
that don't even have water in
the outfield or a fence all
around the field," Smith said.
"I'd say ours is one of the top
fields in North Florida."
"I feel like Rick wvas such
an important part of the soft-
ball program that this is fit-
ting," Ulmer said at the meet-
ing.
Schenck said after the
meeting plans are to have a
dedication of the field during
a pre-season game in January.
A sign with the new name
will also be added at the field.
Schenck said Norris was
instrumental in finding fund-
ing for the new softball field
through grants and other
funding sources. After the
field was constructed, Norris
helped oversee improve-
ments, such as additional bat-
ting areas and adding a con-
cession stand.'
Before the field was con-
structed players had to car-
pool to the recreation center
to practice and play games.
Ulmer said Norris got in-
volved in Suwannee softball
after his daughters began
playing the sport.
During the meeting, the
School Board presented a
plaque to the Softball Booster
Club commemorating the of-
ficial name change.

New Orleans Baptist 1
Seminary names three
Live Oak's Wade Howell among
By Gary D. Myers
Baptist Press
New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary
President Chuck Kelley an-
nounced the appointment
of three new faculty mem-
bers during the trustee ex-
ecutive board's June 6
meeting in New Orleans.
The president also named
two new associate deans
for the extension center
system and .an associate
dean for Leavell College,
the seminary's undergradu-
ate program.
Jeremy Evansl will serve-
as instructor in philosophy
and ethics and Wade How-
ell as instructor in theolo-
gy, both in NOBTS' divi-
sion of theological and his-
torical studies.
"We wanted to increase
the number of our faculty
in the theological and his-
torical area to match our
enrollment," NOBTS
Provost Steve Lemrke said.
Lemke said he is especially
excited about adding anoth-
er faculty member in the
area of philosophy and
ethics.
Evans, who will serve on
a one-year presidential ap-
pointment, is in the disser-
tation stage of the doctor of
philosophy program at
Texas A&M University. He
currently serves as a lectur-
er and teaching assistant at
Texas A&M and a part-time
faculty member at Blinn
College in Bryan, Texas.
Before entering the Ph.D.,
program, Eans had earned
a master of divinity degree
at Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary and
a bachelor of arts degree in
speech communication at
Texas A&M. During his
time at Southwestern,
Evans served as. a colle-
giate minister at Glenville
Baptist Church in Haltom
City, Texas, and a volunteer
collegiate minister at Field-
er Road Baptist Church in
Arlington.
"One of our most impor-
tant tasks is equipping to-
day's ministers to engage a
secular ,and non-Christian
culturee" Kelley said. "Je-
remy Evans will do that
very, very well."
Howell, currently en-
rolled in the seminary's
doctor of philosophy pro-
gram, vill serve a two-year
appointment. He holds a
master of divinity degree
from NOBTS and a bache-
lor of science degree in
business administration
from the University of
Florida.
He currently serves a
bivocational pastor of
Westside Baptist Church in
Live Oak. He has been 'an
academic assistant and
grader:at NOBTS and min-
ister to youth at First Bap-
tist Church in Chalmette,
La.
"Wade Howell is one of
our own who has demon-
strated a great grasp of the-
ology and. a great affinity
for students," Kelley said.
"We are excited about hav-
ing him. as a young profes-
sor."
Kelley appointed Mark
Stephens as assistant. pro-
fessor of preaching and
pa'storal ministry -- min-
istry-based faculty.'
Stephens serves as the.di-
rector of the seminary's ex-
tension center in Orlando,
-heological
to faculty
those appointed
Fla., and as the director of
theological education and
distance learning for the
Florida Baptist Conven-
,tion. During. the regular
spring trustee meeting in
April, Kelley had told the
board he wanted to'enhance
and enlarge the extension
center system over the
coming years. At the June 6
executive committee ses-
sion, he appointed
Stephens and two .others to
aid. in this process.,
"Mark Stephens has been
working with us in Florida
for a number of years. He
has been, .a great adjunct
teacher for :us," Kelley

The great American philosopher and
psychologist William James was fond of
saying that when the outcome of some
endeavor was in question, we would do well
to believe what is in our best interest to
believe. For example, if we are in a social
Situation where We are l 'wondering \whether
someone is a friend or a foe, we are much
better off assullling that they are a friend,
because then we are likely to act in a
friendlV way toward them, and thus our
belief that this person is a friend becomes a
self-fulfilling attemptinl Somle difficult
task, it will be better to believe that we can
do it, and to see the difficult\' as a
st i ngl ii til` challenge rather than an
obstacle which is destined to defeat us. As
Henry Ford remarked, "\\11ettler you think
Vyot cill or think you call 't, either w\ay Vyou
are right." Of course there are limits to
positivCe thillkin. O)bviouslV \'C can't
thinkk llo11neV il11t our bailk accOUnts or
shed poulids just by thinllkilln that w\eV are
thill; but, in many areas of life, positive
beliefs have a very' powerful influence. So,
%\e should banish all of our n(l gative(
tlhomgihts, and start tlinlking and bclie.'ingl
0only thins that \vork for us.
I can do all things in Him -4iwho
strengthens me.

fourth. David Hodges had
mechanical problems and
withdrew from the race dur-
ing this hot battle.
Choquette, Bresnahan, An-
derson Scofield and Morri-
son led the pack but Morri-
son found a very fast Mac
Johnson on his tail wanting
that fifth place spot but Mor-
rison held tight. The first
....... ationamie out for Mario
Hemandez who spun in turn
2. Hernandez was fine and
the race went back green as
Choquette took the point
once again.
At this point there were al-
most two races with Kevin
Durden in the middle of the
two. Then suddenly, coming
down the frontstretch, Mac
Johnson goes into the inside
pit wall, rides it slightly up
and cominig'back down.
His pit crew quickly checks
out the car but after such a
good run, it is done for the
night and pushed into the
pits. On the restart, it is'
Chioquette on the point as
Bresnahan has Wayne An-
derson on his tail for second
and Tim Ruseell and Jason
Boyd are dueling side-by-
side. Boyd is on.the outside,
Russell on the inside when
the caution flag is thrown
once again for Chris
Fontaine and Chet Morrison
Swho have gotten together on.
the frontstretch with
Fontain's car going slightly
on top of Morrison. Morri-
son had been battling a.-loose
car and just as Fontaine was
on his outside, they touch'
sending them both on a wild
ride., Luckily Morrison was
fine but done for the night.
Fontaine was able to contin-
ue but had to pit shortly after
that ending his night.
Once both cars were in the
pits, a slightly heavy discus-
sion begins between the two
crews. A few punches were
thrown but the safety crew
and officials quickly separat-
ed the two teams and fans
were able to watch the race
and not the fight.
It was a fast green as the
yellow comes out for David
Pollen, Jr. who has spun on
the backstretch and goes to
the rear for the restart. Cho-
quette shows his skills once
again on the restart followed
by Bresnahan, Anderson,
Scofield and Russell. Once
again Anderson tries every-
thing to pass Bresnahan but
Bresnahan wants nothing to
do with it and holds his posi-
tion. Durden, who is run-
nifig sixth, finds Jason Boyd
on his bumper but Durden
maintains his position as
Boyd must settle for seventh.
Boyd tries once again, with a
little nodge getting Durden
loose and is able to pass for
sixth as Durden goes to sev-
enth.
Up front Anderson is all
over Bresnahan and this" time,
it makes the move work and
takes over second with
Scofield coming right behind
him in third and.Bresnahan.
settling into fourth. Sudden-
ly Brian Finney slows and
the yellow is thrown for
Finney's blown engine. The
track is checked for fluids
with Choquette giving the
"okay" to race once again.
The races goes back green
on lap 94 with Choquette,
Anderson, Scofield, Bresna-
han, Russell, Boyd, Rich
Pratt, and Fain Skinner up
front. Russell puts the heat
on B,resnahan and takes over
fourth with Bresnahan in
fifth. Bresnahan charges
back but is unable to take
third back from Russell.
Bresnahan charges once
again taking back third as
Russell finds Boyd once
again on his tail. Scofield
gets loose and has to back
off to straighten up but re-
mains in third place position
as Choquette sails away
from Anderson.
Boyd once again tries Rus-
sell and this time makes it
work taking over fifth as
Russell goes to sixth. It is
now Choquette, Anderson,
Scolield, Bresnahan, and
Boyd. Coming to the check-
ered flag, Anderson and
Pollen tangle on the back-'
stretch with Anderson going
hard into the backstretch
wall. With cars fl\ ing at
him, Anderson's car slowly
goes backwards down to the
bottom but luckily was not,
hit. Choquette takes the
checkered followed by Jeff
Scofield, Mike Bresnahan,
Jason Boyd and Rich Pratt.
The next event for the

turned his eyes to one of the
prelude events to the Pepsi 400
- the Brumos Porsche 250 on
Thursday, June 29.
Labonte and the Spirit of
Daytona Racing team were
turning test laps on the historic
3.56-mile road course with a
pair of Daytona Prototypes as
they prep for the 71-lap, 250-
mile event.
The 2000 NASCAR champi-
on will bring his sprint-race
mentality to the Brumos
Porsche 250, which will be part
of his double duty effort during
the upcoming Pepsi 400 Week-
end.
"Last year,, running the 24
hours, that's the first time I've
ever run a race in these types of
cars," Labonte said. "The next
race we went to was here (for
the 250) and on restarts, I was
amazed how these guys get up
and go. I realized it's not 24
hours, it's the 2 hours."
Labonte is quickly becoming
a veteran of the Rolex Sports
Car Series presented by Crown
Royal Special Reserve.
Earlier this year, he compet-
ed with Spirit of Daytona Rac-
ing in the Rolex,24, his second
career start in the prestigious
season-opening event. .Follow-
ing the Brumos Porsche 250,
he'll compete in two more
Rolex events with the team that
based in Daytona Beach area.
Racing the ultra competitive
Daytona Prototypes in the
Grand American Road Racing
Association is something
Labonte is enjoying.
"They'refun," Labonte said.
"They're great to. drive. A lotof
competition, a lot of great cars
out there, great teams out there
and great drivers out there.. To
be a small part of it is really
neat. We're just hoping to get a
little bit stronger as we.go."
The Brumos Porsche 250
will be part of a doubleheader
on Thursday, June 29. Follow-
ing the conclusion of the race,
Round 3 of the Crown Royal
IROC Series will be contested
on the road course, the first
road course event for the All-
Star circuit in 14 years.
Tickets for the Brumos
Porsche 250 and other Pepsi
400 Weekend events are avail-
able online at www.racetick-
ets.com or by calling 1-800-

PAUL HARRIS FELLOWS: Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary as a way to
show appreciation for contributions to the Rotary Foundation's charitable and educational programs. A Paul Harris Fellow is a per-
son who contributes $1,000 in his or her own or in another persons name to the Foundati6n. Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin,
a medallion and a certificate when he or she becomes a Fellow. This identifies the Paul Harris Fellow as an advocate of the Founda-
tion's, goals of world peace and international understanding. The Live Oak Rotary Club recognized and honored three people as Paul
Harris Fellows for their support for the work of The Rotary Foundation on Monday, June 19. In a dignified ceremony Past District Gov-
ernor Angie .Ceraso of Mayo gave Paul Harris recognition to Gary Martin, Janet Airth and Gene Kish. Pictured left to, right: Gary Mar-
tin, Babs Martin, Angie Ceraso, Hal Airth, Janet Airth, Gene Kish and Live Oak Rotary Club President Russ Stapleton. Photo'staff

Raising a successful child: connectedness,
continuity, diversity and opportunity
(ARA) Advances in
technology and
medicine are putting
us in a position to
create a worldwide
quality of life that just
a few years ago, was
only something to be
imagined. At the same
time, we are also
overwhelmed, weary
and worried about our
children. As parents,
we work long hours
while quality time
with our children gets
shaved away at every
turn. Our biggest
concern is how we
raise our children and
whether they are
being embraced and
honored as the sacred
beings that they are:
We know that every
child deserves the
chance for a happy,
healthy and
productive life and
-future. Likewise,
every human being,
adults and children
alike, has needs that
include but go beyond
a safe environment,
food and shelter.
Everyone desires
meaningful
relationships,
stability, respect and
purpose in our lives.
Historically, our
collective approach as
a society has been to
label children and
identify and attack
what we perceive as
their deficits and so-
called pathologies. It
often seems easier to
see what is wrong
with children, rather
than seek and
understand what is
right. But there is an
approach for parents,
teachers and others
who closely interact
with children that is
radically different. It's
called'the Strength-
Based Treatment
Model and it's being
used by some of the
nation's top child
organizations.
"We have been
using the strength-
based approach to
help children and it
has been critical to
our high success
rate," says Dr. Martin
Mitchell, president
and CEO of Starr
Commonwealth, an
organization that has
been helping troubled
children and their
families for over 90
years. "The same tools
that we use here to
help children facing
conflict can also be
used by parents at
home and by teachers
in schools."
The strength-based
approach used by
Starr Commonwealth
and its private
residential treatment
program, Montcalm
Schools, is based on
four guiding
principles critical to
the success of all
children;
connectedness,
continuity, dignity
and opportunity
(CCDO). Dr. Mitchell
says these principles
provide a framework
for every child-care
worker, teacher,
parent and individual
to make a difference
in the lives of all
children.
The first of these
principles, or values,
is connectedness. It is
the drive to bond with
other people and it is
one of the most
fundamental needs of
children. "We all need
to feel that someone is
there for us, and we
are a part of someone
else's life," says John
Weed, director of
Montcalm School for
Boys. "Young people
need to know that
their parents, teachers
or peers genuinely
care about them.
When they are in
conflict, children can
have irrational beliefs
that the adults in their
lives don't care about
them. As adults, it is
essential that, we show
them, in words and
deeds, that we do."
The second value,
called continuity, is
the reassurance a
child gets when they
are certain beyond
any doubt that
someone will always
be there for them. "It
is the forever in 'I
love you' that tells a.
child that no
argument can
diminish your
relationship with
them and it makes
that child feel a sense
of continuous
belonging," says Dr.
Mitchell. "Continuity
in a child's life means
knowing they are part
of a greater whole
and they have an
important role to play
within it."
But continuity also
plays out in a child's
life through a bond
with a higher power.
Ken Ponds, chaplain
for Montcalm School
for Boys and Starr
Commonwealth says
nearly every child in
conflict has a
disconnect with
spirituality.
"Throughout the
course of treatment,
we look at the whole
person," Ponds says.
"Spirituality is one
component alongside
education and a o
treatment. Spiritual \
activities are a
voluntary part of the
process. While kids
may not want to
participate at first, we
find that over time,
they come to us
seeking a spiritual.
connection. It gives
them a peacefulness
knowing that there's
someone greater than
their peers to talk to."
Another principle
critical to providing
success for children is
dignity. Every child
needs to intrinsically
know that they are
worth caring about.

The last component
of CCDO is
opportunity. It is the
drive in each child to
succeed. While a child
in conflict may not,
display their need to
succeed outwardly, it
is still inside them.
"The moment of

Weed. 'It's a way of

Top teen chef's recipe for backyard entertaining
(ARA) Adreena Winnfield
knows a little something
about cooking. As'winner of
The Art Institutes Best Teen
Chef 2005 scholarship
competition, Winnfield beat
out competitors from all over
the U.S. and Canada to take
home the prestigious title and
a full scholarship worth
$35,000 to study culinary arts.
Winnfield began cooking at
the age of 11, watching her
mother and grandmother
make wonderful dishes that,
fed the spirit of her large
family. Now enrolled in the
Culinary Arts program at The
1'rt Institute of California -
Orange County, Adreena is
looking forward to some time
off from school to kick back,
relax with friends and family
and get back to the foods she
grew up on.
"Growing up in a city like
San Francisco, there are so
:many great places to take a
picnic lunch and spend the
: afternoon eating and hanging
out," she says. "But in my
family, we also love a good
backyard get-together where
we bring the food outside,,
.right from the kitchen."
W.Vinnfield includes her
:favorites like mac n' cheese,
stuffed mushrooms and
turkey meatballs on that
menu.
Since winning the Best Teen
Chef competition last May,
Winnfield has graduated
from high school, moved to
Orange County for her
culinary education, and
learned the challenge and fun
of being-1'tenedetntif'r the
first tini."
"Culinary school is
amazing, and I'm learning so
many techniques and
approaches to cooking that I
never knew before," says
Winnfield. "But when I head
up to visit family in San
Francisco, I'm looking,
forward to a backyard picnic
with my favorite foods, and
my family in the kitchen
cooking beside me."
The Art Institutes system of
32 education institutions
(www.artinstitutes.edu) are
located throughout North
America, providing an
important source of design,
media arts, fashion and
culinary arts professionals.

percent of fruit juice is
the first thing to look for
on the label. You want
to find a product that
specifically says 100
percent fruit juice, like
'100 percent orange
juice.' That tells you it
contains only. the natural
juice found in whole
fruit along with the
nutrients naturally
found in that juice."
Gail offers the
following tips to help
parents interpret the
nutritional value of juice
beverages:
Make sure additions
don't subtract from the
nutritional value.
Fortifying a beverage
with vitamin C allows
manufacturers to state
that it provides "100
percent vitamin C." This
claim, however, deflects
attention from added
sugars and essential
nutrients that are
missing. By comparison,
100 percent orange juice
provides vitamin C,and
other important
nutrients with no added
sugar only the
naturally occurring
sugars found in fresh
fruit.
Beware of "drinks,"
"ades," "punches,"
"cocktails" and other
cleverly worded
"beverages." These
drinks have added
sugars, are typically low
in nutrients, and don't
help fulfill fruit intake
recommendations. Keep
in.mind, the USDA
Dietary Guidelines call
out only one beverage as
a recommended option
to help meet fruit intake
recommendations 100
percent fruit juice.
Read the nutrition
facts label to compare
nutrients, ingredients,
serving size and servings
per container.
Among 100 percent
fruit juices, orange juice
is a nutritional standout.
Rich in vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants
and phytonutrients, 100
percent orange juice is
the most nutrient-dense
fruit juice commonly
consumed in the United
States.
"Children of all ages
can help increase their
intake of critical
nutrients by drinking
100 percent orange
juice," said Rampersaud.
"The nutrients found in
orange juice may help
promote a healthy
immune system,
contribute to heart
health and may also help
protect against certain
cancers when consumed
as part of a healthy diet."
When choosing among
fruit beverages for
children, remember to
start with 100 percent
juice. Then, choose
power-packed juices,
such as 100 percent
orange juice, to help
increase children's
intake of essential
nutrients and help
contribute to an overall
healthy diet. For more
on the health benefits of
100 percent juice and its
role in children's diets,
