Former animal control officer arrested on drug charge


By Jeff Waters
jeff.waters@gaflnews.com

A former city of Live Oak part-time animal control offi-
cer has been arrested for possession of a controlled sub-
stance without a prescription and petit theft, according to
Suwannee County sheriffs reports.
Marcia Lynn Grand, of 13933 24th St., was arrested De-
cember 31 'for offenses which allegedly occurred in August.
According to reports, sheriffs deputy Tommy Roberts ar-
rived at 1888 AW Bud Smith Loop, on August 6. There he
spoke with resident Colin McCowan, who said that he and


Man charged

with aggravated

child abuse
By Jeff Waters
jeff.waters@gaflnews.com

Bob B. Zarecki, of 3087 119th Dr., Live
Oak, was arrested Sunday for aggravated
child abuse, according to jail records.
Zarecki spanked his six-year-old daugh-
Zarecki ter multiple times for not listening to him
or his girlfriend, say reports. According to
authorities, the spankings left a large number of bruises on
her lower back, buttocks and upper legs. Zarecki admitted to
spanking the victim four times, once with his hand, twice
with his belt and once with a fly swatter, say reports. Au-
thorities say the bruises appear to be consistent in size and
shape with a belt and/or fly swatter. Zarecki was transport-
ed to the Suwannee County Jail and later released on bond.

aware. City Finance Director
Jan Parkhurst told the coun-
cil Tuesday night that indi-
viduals had been subject to
termination of services for
non-payment but that busi-
nesses had not, despite a city
ordinance which fails to dis-
tinguish between residential
and commercial accounts in
that regard. The revelation
came to light after a local dry
cleaner accumulated $13,000
in unpaid water bills.
The city's formal policy
requires ,payment of utility
bills by the 15th of the
month, after which account
holders are subject to a
penalty. Bills not paid by the
21st are to result in termina-
tion of service. Parkhurst
told the council she had "al-
ways understood" that busi-
ness accounts were not to be
terminated, however.
"I have never known
there's a differentiation be-
tween a business and resi-
dential," said Councilman
John Hale. "We'll cut some
poor little widow lady off for


$50-$55, but yet we'll let a
business get up to $13,000."
Hale questioned how Mor-
rison's Cleaners on West
Howard Street had been al-
lowed to accumulate
$13,000 in unpaid bills.
Parkhurst said Morrison's
balance was $6,000 in No-
vember 2007, but the busi-
ness later developed a water
leak which ran the bill to
$10,000. Late fees and
penalties account for there-
maining balance. Parkhurst
said the owners of the busi-
ness are working out a pay-
ment plan with the city. ,
The council instructed,
Parkhurst to enforce the writ-
ten ordinance, under which
all utility accounts are sub-
ject to disconnection for un-
paid fees. "What if she
[Parkhurst] continues ex-
tending credit and we get
stuck with a $30,000 bill,"
Councilman Mark Stewart
asked.
McDonald's, which ac-
cording to Parkhurst is habit-
ually late with utilities pay-
ments, also received a fair
amount of attention at the

a week earlier, according to.reports. The bottle had con-
tained about 60 pills and the McCowans said that only two
were left. According to the McCowans, the remaining pills
went missing on August 1.
McCowan reportedly told authorities that they employ a
caregiver, Marcia Grand, who looks after their handicapped
son. McCowan also noted that Grand had her teenage son at
the house on several occasions and suspected one of them
of taking the pills.
Grand allegedly told authorities that a person known only

According to the District the

"We are in the eighth dri-
est 24 month period since
recording in 1932," said Jon

Stewart said.
The suggestion was made
to terminate service to the
restaurant.
"Maybe that's what we
need to do," Councilman
Don Boyette said. "You cut
them off one time and it
won't happen again."
Parkhurst said two years
ago. the council gave her the
authority to offer extensions
to those not paying utilities
on' time.' She said the deci-
sion to offer extens ons to
businesses but not residents
was based on an unspoken
policy that had been in prac-
tice since before she began
her tenure with the city about
three years ago.
City councilmen Bennie
Thomas, Boyette and Ken
Duce said they had never
heard of the unwritten policy
either. Stewart said he
learned of it only a few
weeks ago after discussing
delinquent accounts with city
staff.


tions. According to a press re-
lease from the District, the
drought will intensify over
the next several months in the
District's 15-county region.
Dinges said that the District
will meet with city and coun-
ty officials to put guidelines
in place for enforcement to
take effect April 7. "Even be-
fore the mandatory restric-
tions go into effect, we urge
all citizens to continue to vol-
untarily conserve water," said
David Still, District deputy

Gardening Tips irom
Live Oak Garden Clu

sticks and twigs, now is the
time to start evaluating and
perhaps improving the
condition of the soil in your
garden areas. Your soil will
fall into one of three
categories: sandy, loam, or
clay. The ideal soil for your
garden is loam. Here's how
to tell. Dig into your ground,
and scoop a handful of soil.
Press the soil into a ball. If
the soil breaks apart and will
not form a ball, your soil is
sandy. If the soil does form a
hard lump that will not break
apart, your soil is clay. If the
soil forms a lump that breaks
apart quite easily into
smaller lumps, then you
probably have loam which is
excellent.
Here in North Florida,
unless you have been
amending the soil over the


years, you will probably find
that your soil is sandy, and
some will find their soil to
be clay. You can do much to
improve the condition of
your soil in order to
the give this year's
thre garden the best
b chance of producing
an abundance of
vegetables, flowers
and growth. Nothing is
more disheartening to a
beginning gardener than to
purchase a beautiful, healthy
plant from a local nursery,
plant it, and then watch it
decline and whither away.
Perhaps the decline was
caused by improper planting,
lack of water, etc., but you
can maximize your chances
of growing healthy plants by
starting off with good "dirt,"
and here is how:

IF YOUR SOIL IS SANDY
Sandy soil allows the
water to drain too quickly
and allow roots of the plant
to dry out. Sandy soil also is
not very fertile. In order to
improve this type of soil,
you will need to work in a

Shands Lake Shore surpasses United Way goal

Shands Lake Shore celebrated an
extremely successful United Way employee
giving campaign by presenting United Way
of Suwannee Valley Board of Directors
President John Kasak with the hospital's
campaign goal thermometer.'
The hospital's United Way campaign team
was given a goal of $12,500 and exceeded
that goal to raise $19,920. Coupled with the
Shands Live Oak employees' United Way
results of $8,215, the Shands facilities
serving the United Way of Suwannee Valley
area raised $28,135.
Teresa Tompkins, coordinator of the
Shands Lake Shore campaign, began her
efforts in August when she visited the
United Way office to advise she had
accepted a position at the hospital and
included on her r6sum6 her United Way
experience gained while formerly employed
at BlueLinx. Tompkins reviewed the
hospital's prior years' United Way efforts
and results and assembled team captains
representing each of the hospital's
departments. A campaign period
encompassing the month of October was
selected.
The team captains created a calendar for
their month-long campaign to generate
enthusiasm for their employee United Way
campaign and to promote hospital team
spirit. The calendar began
with a campaign kick-off
event featuring a carnival
atmosphere with a pie toss,
popcorn and cotton candy.
Specifiedidonations allowed
employees to hurl whipped
cream pies at supervisors
volunteering for the pie toss.
Another event was an
outdoor barbeque that
provided a change-of-pace
lunch for hospital employees
while serving as a fundraiser.
A bake sale highlighted
United Way of Suwannee
Valley's campaign theme
celebrating the agency's 40
years of service to the
community. Concluding the
month's activities was a chili
cook off providing
employees lunch, raising
funds and identifying
talented cooks among the

hospital's employees. Additionally, a raffle
of gift baskets was conducted during lunch
hours with United Way agency materials and
community impact initiatives displayed.
Finally, blue jeans days
were offered to eligible
staff for a donation -
on Fridays.
With United Way
posters throughout the
hospital facility and
inclusion of every
department on each
shift, the campaign
team provided the
opportunity for all
hospital employees to
feel a part of the effort.
Shands at UF selected a
campaign theme of
"We are the
Champions." The local
hospital added,the
United Way tagline
"what matters" to result
in a local theme of "We
are the Champions of
'what matters."'

PORTABLE GENERATORS!


Many residents who lose power may turn to
emergency generators to ensure a continuous flow
of electricity to refrigerators, freezers, lights, fans
and other appliances. SVEC urges residents to
exercise extreme caution. While generators are a
convenience in keeping appliances running during
storm-related outages, they can also create hazards
for homeowners and electric utility workers.

When operating a generator:


* Always operate a generator in accordance with
manufacturer's guidelines anrd instructions.
* To avoid CO poisoning, never use a generator indoors or in
attached garages. Only operate the generator outdoors in a
well-ventilated, dry area from air intakes to the home.
* To avoid'electrocution, plug individual appliances into the
generator using heavy duty, outdoor rated cords with a wire
gauge adequate for the appliance load.
* If connecting into the house wiring is necessary on a
temporary basis, homes must have a transfer switch
installed by a licensed electrician. A transfer switch allows

If you desire to obtain a transfer switch for resi,
use the cooperative has approved a meter socke
based transfer switch by GENERLINK model n
MA23-N or.S. Member would purchase the trar
switch through GENERLINK (1-800-886-3837
www.globalpowerproducts.com) and contact th
cooperative to schedule installation at no charg


your house to receive power directly from a portable
generator as opposed to power normally supplied by
SVEC. Transfer switches isolate the circuits supplied by
the generator and prevent backfeeding inadvertently
energizing circuits in both systems.
* Backfeeding can most commonly occur when a
generator is connected directly to the electric panel or
circuit in a home. Feeding power back into the utility
system during an outage will energize the transformer
serving the house and could pose a serious threat to line
and service and tree crews working to restore power in
the area who may not know they are working with an
energized line.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2008


Members of the Suwan-
nee Democrat editorial
board are Myra C. Re-
gan, publisher, and
Robert Bridges, editor.
Our View is formed by
that board.


Want to vent?

Our hotline

is open 24/7.

Suwannee Countians, it's time to speak
your mind! How do you do that? By calling
the Suwannee Democrat Rant and Rave hot-
line! The hotline never closes and is your way
to let it out.

People that go to cemeteries and steal
flower arrangements off someone else's loved
one's grave, then take those stolen flowers to
your loved one's grave should know you just
showed your loved,one what a thief you are.
All in all, you just proved how much you dis-
respected your loved one in that grave you
just put stolen flowers on.

I totally agree that something should have
been done by this good Christian community
to help this disabled 80-year-old veteran long
before this became such a code enforcement
issue. I suspect what Mr. Erskine wants is his
story heard. Let's not forget that at 80 .there
are some major advantages to small trailer
living low or no maintenance and taxes; no
yard work; no cleaning of shower or toilets;
low heating and cooling costs. I could go on.

Despite the fact the city code enforcement
officer was cited for multiple; city code viola-
tions, Councilman Stewart still thinks he is
doing his job. Let's get this right, Councilman
Stewart, the person you hired to enforce code
violations, violates the codes but he is still
doing his job. And the only person who
should be able to fire him is who? The same
person who buys a luxury SUV to ride around
the city in? I think it's about time Councilman
Stewart starts doing his job. There's more to
government than siccing the code enforce-
ment officer on people who don't mow their
grass.
DDD
Callers to 208-8314 may express their
thoughts, good or bad, 24/7 about communi-
ty issues and politics, but not about private
individuals or businesses. If you prefer, you
may e-mail your comments to

everyone know how you feel if you will be
respectful in how you express yourself. You

COMMENTARY


So is it a Bubba, or a Bubbajean?


BIBLE VERSE
"But just as he who called
you is holy, so be holy in all
you do; for it is written: 'Be
holy, because I am holy."'
1 Peter 1:15-16 (NIV)

male and female because I can't tell.
Even after the leaves fall off, I can't tell.
So having given up on thoughts of a
better system that would clearly identify
who should play for a national football
championship, I thought I would do
some research on inanimate things being
male for female.
So here's what my research revealed
on randomly selected inanimate objects:
SWISS ARMY KNIFE male, be-
cause even though it appears useful for a
wide variety of work, it spends most of
its time just opening bottles.
KIDNEYS female, because they al-
ways go to the bathroom in pairs.
TIRE -male, because it goes bald and
often is over-inflated.
HOT AIR BALLOON male, because
to get it to go anywhere you have to light
a fire under it ... and, of course, there's
the hot air part.
SPONGES female, because they are
soft and squeezable and retain water.
WEB PAGE female, because it is al-
ways getting hit on.
SHOE male, because it is usually un-
polished, with its tongue hanging out.
COPIER female, because once
turned off,, it takes a while to warm up.
Because it is an effective repro-ductive
device when the right buttons are pushed.
Because it can wreak havoc when the
wrong buttons are pushed.
ZIPLOC BAGS male, because they


hold everything in, but you can see right
through them.
SUBWAY male, because it uses the
same old lines to pick people up.
HOURGLASS female, because over
time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
HAMMER male, because it hasn't
evolved much over the last 5,000 years,
but it's handy to have around.
REMOTE CONTROL -
female...Ha!...you thought it would be
male. But consider, it gives man plea-
sure, he'd be lost without it and while he
doesn't always know the right buttons to
push, he keeps trying.
I'm not saying my research has any so-
cially redeeming value. However, the
power of suggestion being what it is, I
would bet that many of you will now
view some inanimate things as either be-
ing a Bubba or a Bubbajean.
I was somewhat surprised that some-
one had given this matter so much
thought. I guess the upside of that is that
people are thinking about stuff as op-
posed to not thinking at all. And who
knows where a single thought can lead
one. After all, we started out with politics
that morning and ended up talking about
sex. Go figure. Next time we. may work
on the energy crisis or global warming.

By Dwain Walden
The conversation be-
gan as political, but then
it got off on a tangent of
things being male or fe-
male. As you might
guess, the political link A
had something to do "
with the possibility of Walden
our country having its
first female president.
Then the conversation sort of mutated
to storms which, until recent years, were
given female names. Everyone seemed to
have similar understandings why storms
would carry a female handle. I'm just
telling you what I heard.
Now keep in mind, this was not a
deep-thought kind of gathering. No one
was smoking a pipe nor posing in Greek
philosopher style.
And these opinions are not likely to
spawn a seminar nor would they be sub-
jects for "Face The Nation." They could,
however, find a place on "The Jerry
Springer Show" because those people
will get naked and fight about anything.
And generally it does have something to
do with male and female.
So I noted that I have a grapevine that
is both male and female for germination
purposes. However, one doesn't typically
name a grapevine so it's not an issue
within this context. And I had to take the
word of the nurseryman that it was both

inches of organic materials

sawdust, wood chips or
compost to the soil in your

schedule, as gardens with
sandy soils will have to be
watered more frequently. Be
sure to cover the soil with a
thick layer of mulch to help
keep the soil moist.

A soil test will also give you the pH
level which tells you the amount of
acid in the soil. Some plants such as
azaleas need high acid, and other
plants need more alkaline soil. Our

provide you with a soil testing kit
whereby you can have your soil

EXTENSION UPDATE




Why is milk pasteurized?


By Mary Sowerby
UF Regional Dairy Agent
If milk is nature's most
nearly perfect food, why
L does the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration insist
that it be pasteurized before
human consumption?
There seems to be a rising
cry for what some people
are claiming is tastier and
healthier: raw or
unpasteurized milk.
As a youth, I drank the
Golden Guernsey milk
which came straight from
our cows to the bulk tank
I and into a bottle. Cream
rose to the top quarter of
each bottle, which had to be
shaken for cream dispersion
before drinking. It sure
tasted good! But it was also
i potentially deadly.
Nutrients which make
milk healthy for both calves
and man are also nutritious
for bacteria. Bacteria enter
milk from dirty udders or
milking equipment or
unwashed human hands.
Sick cows can shed
infecting bacteria into milk
too, like Listeria
monocytogenes, which in
pregnant women can result
in miscarriage, fetal death,
or illness or death of a
newborn infant.
Campyl'oacter, escherichia,
salmonella and brucella can
all be transmitted from cow
to human through milk and
cause symptoms of diarrhea,
stomach cramps, fever,
headache, vomiting and
exhaustion.


Most healthy people can
recover from food-borne
illness fairly quickly. But
for those with weakened
immune systems, such as
elderly people, children, and
those with certain diseases
or conditions, symptoms
can become life threatening.
Louis Pasteur first
discovered that by heating
every particle of milk to a
specific temperature for a
specified period of time,
pathogens (disease-causing
organisms) can be killed.
Through his discovery,
countless cases of milk-
borne tuberculosis,.
diphtheria, polio,
salmonella, strep throat,
scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been prevented.
In addition, pasteurization
destroys bacteria which
cause milk to spoil,
extending its shelf life.
Raw milk enthusiasts
claim unpasteurized milk is
healthier because
pasteurization destroys
nutrients and enzymes
found in milk. However,
research has shown
pasteurization causes only a
zero to 10% loss of the
principle vitamins found in
milk (thiamine, folate, B-12
and riboflavin), which is a
very small reduction.
In addition, caseins and
whey, the primary milk
proteins, are largely
unaffected by
pasteurization. Some milk
enzymes are definitely
destroyed by heat, but they
are also broken down into
their component amino
acids in the human stomach
. and absorbed in the
intestines to be used as
building blocks for human
proteins:
Most enzymes found in
milk do survive
pasteurization, including
those that contribute to
prolonging milk's shelf life.
Other enzymes which
survive are thought to play a

role in cheese ripening.
In Florida, like many
states, it is illegal to sell raw
milk for human
consumption. One way
some people have tried to
circumvent the law is by
"cow sharing" or "cow
leasing." Consumers pay a
fee to a fariner to lease or
purchase a. cow in exchange
*for raw milk, claiming that
they are no't actually buying
the milk since they are part-
owners of the cow.
Wisconsin banned cow
leasing programs after 75
people bec ame infected
with Campylobacter jejuni
bacteria in 2001, from
drinking u npasteurized milk


As a youth, I drank the Golden Guernsey milk which came straight from
our cows to the bulk tank and into a bottle. Cream rose to the top
quarter of each bottle, which had to be shaken for cream dispersion
before drinking. It sure tasted good! But it was also potentially deadly.


through a cow sharing
program.
The take-home message:
If you want to buy better
tasting milk, find a source
that is locally produced and
packaged, sold fresh and
perhaps unhomogenized,
but not unpasteurized. The
process of homogenization
breaks down milk fat
particles into tiny globules
which stay uniformly
throughout milk, instead of
rising as cream to the top..


For the sake of your
health and those you love,
take advantage of Louis
Pasteur's discovery and
drink only pasteurized milk.
Be safe, not sick.

raville, a small farming com-
munity located between Live
Oak and Mayo. He is a grad-
uate of Suwannee High
School. Shortly after gradua-
tion, Hingson was elected
State President of the FFA
(Future Farmers of America),
and the following year he
was elected to serve the near-
ly half a million members of
the FFA as national vice pres-
ident. Hingson's FFA service
took him to 40 of the 50
states, as well as to Japan and
China promoting agriculture
and honing his leadership and
speaking skills.
After his FFA service,
Hingson enrolled in the Uni-
versity of Florida where he
obtained his Bachelor of Sci-
ence with Honors in Agricul-
tural Economics. At UF,
Hingson was inducted into
the university's leadership
honorary, Florida Blue Key,
and was an active member of
the Alpha Gamma Rho
(AGR) agricultural fraternity.
Hingson attended law
school at the Mississippi Col-
lege School of Law in Jack-
son, Mississippi where he
earned an academic scholar-
ship and graduated in the top
10 percent of his law school
class. In law school, Hingson
was elected chief justice of
the Honor Court and was on
the law school's Moot Court
Board.
Hingson worked his first
two years as a prosecutor for
state's attorney Bill Cervone
in the 8th Judicial Circuit
where Hingson handled juve-
nile, misdemeanor and felony
cases, and did stints in the
Alachua, Levy and Gilchrist
offices. In 2002, Hingson
was able to move home when
Jerry Blair hired him as an
assistant state's attorney in
the Third Judicial Circuit.
Hingson's first assignment as
a prosecutor in the Third Cir-
cuit was as the Dixie County
division chief in 2002 and
2003.
In 2004, Hingson was pro-
moted to the, Columbia


County office to serve as a
Felony Division chief. Hing-
son's duties included super-
vising felony prosecutors, as
well as handling Special
Prosecution cases such as
homicide and child sex of-
fenses. Hingson has been the
lead prosecutor on several
high profile cases, including
the prosecution of serial.
rapist William Williams, and
of Gregory Platt, who was re-
sponsible for the 2004 mur-
der of Florida Highway Pa-
trolman Andy Brown. Both
men were convicted at trial
and sentenced to life in
prison without the possibility
of parole.
In October 2007, Hingson
took over as .division chief of
the Taylor County state's at-
torney's office in Perry. Hing-
son is responsible for super-
vising the office and prose-
cuting felony offenses, in-
cluding Special Prosecution
cases in Taylor County.
Hingson is an active mem-
ber of the Rotary Club and is
an agency coordinator for the
Suwannee Valley United
Way. He is a member of the
Orchard Community Baptist
Church in Lake City. Hing-
son resides in Columbia
County with his wife of 10
years, Angie, and their two
children, Ellie (5) and Drew
(2).
"I truly believe that our
state's attorney should .be a
person of integrity, with
proven experience as a prose-
cutor, and with a vision to
provide long-term leadership
for the prosecutor's office."
Hingson said. "I respectfully
ask for your support. It has
been a life-long goal of mine
to be state's attorney, and if
elected, I will work tirelessly
to keep our communities safe
and to hold defendants ac-
countable for the crimes they
commit."

stopped since.
According to officials
from the Florida Department
of Transportation, who oper-
ate the light in conjunction
with CSX, the signal should
be in operation soon.
"We are finished with our
connections, and are now
waiting on CSX," Gina
Busscher, public informa-
tion officer of the DOT, said
in a recent telephone inter-
view. CSX is involved be-
'cause of the railroad cross-
ing at 101st Rd., which is lo-
cated diagonally across US
90 from CR 49. CSX needs


to make sure that when a
train is in the crossing, the
light will stay green for traf-
fic flowing on US 90. This
will help keep congestion
down while motorists wait
for the train to pass,
Karin Charron, District II
Railroad Coordinator with
the DOT, said that testing of
the signal will start this
week. "They will need more
than one signal crew to test
all crossings through Live
Oak," to make sure- all sig-
nals are working properly,
she said. Charroin said that
the signal should be in oper-
ation by the end of Febru-
ary.


cost more than $33,000,
"the white elephant with all
the bells and whistles."
"It makes me understand
why people think we're
throwing our money away,"
he said at Tuesday's city
council meeting.
"How can we justify that
to the people?" asked Coun-
cilman Bennie Thomas. "I
didn't know we had that
kind of money. Maybe
that's why utility bills are
going so high."
"The city should not be
going around purchasing
luxury vehicles," Council-
man Don Boyette said
Thursday. "To me that's
very disturbing."
The vehicle has leather
bucket seats and a premium
sound system, among other
amenities. Its base price is
$25,708, sales records
show.
.The three councilmen
suggested the purchase was
at odds with a city ordi-
nance which requires that
expenditures exceeding
$25,000 be advertised lo-
cally after approval by. the
council.
"No one has ever done
that before without council
approval," Hale said
Wednesday of the purchase.
City Finance Director Jan
Parkhurst said Wednesday
that because the vehicle was
purchased through a state
contract, it had already been
advertised by the state.
"We wouldn't have or-
dered this vehicle without
approval or notification of
that contract," Farley said at
the meeting.
"$25,000 is $25,000,
whether it's a state bid or
not," Thomas said Wednes-
day. "He [Farley] over-
stepped his boundary."
Boyette was unhappy as
well. "I think there's clearly
some- breaches of trust," he
said.
When a damaged vehicle
belonging to another city
agency was to be replaced
last fall, Farley offered his
city car a Ford Crown Vic-


toria to that agency, with
the intent of purchasing a
new one for himself. Farley
said Thursday that he re-
ceived permission to do so
at a city budget hearing in
September. However, when
contacted by the Democrat,
four of the five council
members Mark Stewart,
Hale, Boyette and Thomas -
said they had no recollec-
tion of Farley ever seeking
such approval. Ken Duce
said he did remember Far-
ley seeking and receiving
approval. City Clerk Jimmy
McCullers said no records
are kept of proceedings at
budget hearings.
According to city
records, the cost of the ve-
hicle, $33,198, exceeded
the amount budgeted for the
purchase, $26,575, by 25
percent.
Parkhurst said Wednes-
day that the city sometimes
goes over budget on certain
purchases, but character-
ized that expenditure as
"unusual." She said the pur-
chase did not cause the city
to exceed its overall budget.
"As long as the total bud-
get for administration is
greater than the total expen-
ditures, it's OK," Parkhurst
said.
Councilmen Stewart and
Duce said Wednesday they
had no problem with the
SUV.
Stewart said he would
have approved the purchase
of the vehicle, had the ques-
tion come before him, "if
it's justifiable."
He said the vehicle will
accommodate the council-
men and other staff who
.travel to meetings for the
Florida League of Cities
several times a year. He
said during a recent trip to
Cedar Key, two vehicles
were required to accommo-
date four to five passengers
and luggage.
Duce agreed and said he
tnrusts Farley'stJudgnient.
"He's about as honest a
man as I want to see," Duce
said.

growing with their consistency, honest work and
affordable rates; all important factors in becoming
a strong force of the gutter industry in Suwannee
and all of its surrounding counties. Affordable
Seamless Gutters is fully insured and licensed.


Example of seamless gutter


Are all gutter companies about the same?
Absolutely not! Truth is, there is not a great deal -of
difference in the materials being used from one
company to the next. The big difference is in the
installation. Certainly, we are not the only company that
can install gutters. However, Affordable Seamless
Gutters has over 15 years of experience in the industry
and our honesty, integrity and communication by far
surpass the competition. We value the relationships we
build with our customers and area contractors!


Example of what can happen


Unless there are long overhangs on your roof and your property is steeply graded, seamless
gutters are essential for routing roof runoff away from your home. Installed properly, gutters
keep crawl spaces dry, preserve topsoil, protect siding from backsplash stain and rot and
shield windows and doors from water infiltration and damage.
Why Are Gutters Necessary?
Free-flowing gutters channel water away from your home, thereby protecting your home's
foundation. Gutters are your insurance policy on your home's future.
But My Home has Never Had Gutters. Why Should I Get Them Now?
Homes are like people. Age eventually takes its toll. The older your home is, the more likely it is,
that the tar on your foundation walls is cracking, and the drain tiles around your home are filling
up. Gutters are the only system you can monitor to assure your foundation's protection.
My Gutters Need Repair. Why Shouldn't I Buy What I Had Before?
Be honest, how many times have you cleaned and maintained your gutters? If your answer is,
"Not as often as I should.", you're asking for trouble with conventional gutters. If your answer is,
"Frequently.", you're probably sick and tired of the problem.
Wouldn't it be better to install a solution that GUARANTEES you'll never have to clean your
gutters again?

Brushfire sweeps




across Mallory Swamp

MAYO Billowing clouds of thick smoke rose
high above Mallory Swamp as a large brushfire
spread across the landscape on Thursday, Jan. 3.
Lafayette County Sheriff's office personnel re-
ceived word early that afternoon that a brushfire
was burning quickly and being pushed by strong
winds. LCSO then requested assistance from the
Department of Forestry and also requested a
plane to survey the situation.
According to the Lafayette County Division of
Forestry, the fire was successfully put out as
they worked until after dark and took advantage
of calm winds. They mopped up the area to

fire.
In 1998, a massive wildfire raked Mallory
Swamp, burning thousands of acres and sent
heavy smoke throughout Lafayette County and
as far south as Tampa. That fire was sparked by
a lightening strike.
Last year, SRWMD officials, held a special cer-
emony at Mallory Swamp to celebrate the
achievements made during a lengthy restoration
project of the property.
Lafayette County Division of Forestry officials
are still investigating the fire and have not deter-

After the girls were di-

United States geography.
Each group had to cross

a table-size puzzle of the US.
Then each contestant had to find

The day ended with contro-

Florida Division of Forestry
on outdoor burning


With the cooler tem-
peratures a lot of people
are heading outdoors.
From burning their yard
trash to staying warm
by the camp fire, many
are making use of out-
door fires. The Florida
Division of Forestry
would like to remifid
people to exercise cau-
tion when enjoying
these activities. Here are
some helpful tips to
keep in mind when
burning outdoors.
Before you begin
burning yard debris
check with your local
Division of Forestry of-
fice to make sure it is le-
gal to burn in your area.
Position your pile in an
area that meets the re-
quired set backs. Be
sure to only burn yard
waste, no household
garbage (includes paper
products and newspa-


pers). Whether you are
burning yard debris or
enjoying a campfire, do
not bum on windy days.
Also, keep a water hose
or shovel handy in case
the fire escapes. Be sure
the smoke is not ob-
structing visibility on
nearby roads. Never
leave the fire unattend-
ed and be sure that it is
completely extinguished
before leaving. Most of
the area's vegetation is
really dry making it
very flammable. By tak-
ing some steps of pre-
caution the risk of the
fire escaping is consider-
ably reduced.
For more information
on these tips or to learn
more please contact
your local Division of
Forestry offices or visit
the Florida Division of
Forestry's website

COMMENTARY'


And the


beat


goes on


Sportabout
By Tom Daniels
It's over and LSU is the
national champion. Ohio
State should not be able to
appear in a National.
Championship game for at
least five years. LSU is
not only lucky, they are
also good. I don't know if
it is Katrina-pollyted
water or just the fact that
we eat more pork in the
South, but the SEC is the
best conference in the
land. Last year LSU lost
its stack as

draft and this year they are
#1. Strange? Heck no.
Vinny Testaverde leaves
Miami nextyear #1, ditto
:Peyton Manning
Tennessee, and Carson
:Palmer USC. "
* No Florida. Super Bowl:
Tampa Bay 1 and a Que
(short for bar-b-que). The
:Jags take on the*Pats and
maybe we can have an all-
Manning Super Bowl,
'N.Y. vs. Indy and yes,
cows may fly someday,
but not in my lifetime. I
think Green Bay is 14-2 in
playoff games played at
home. In the Maltese
Falcon, Kasper Gutman
referred to Sam Spade as a
man of "good judgment."
Likewise can be said of
Brett Favre. Only two
weeks left till we find who
is going to the Super
Bowl.
Roger Clemens
appeared a little miffed at
his press conference. He
also showed his
competitiveness and
tenacity, not to mention
his arrogance, pomposity,
and rudeness. I hope he
didn't use HGH, etc. The
fact of the matter is the
baseball union, the best in
the land, stonewalled the
Mitchell investigation. It
is a bit difficult to
sympathize with multi-
millionaires who want to
negotiate whether or not
they can be drug-tested. At
least Barry Bonds got a
day off. The best part of
the Clemens news
conference is when he
says it's going to cost him
millions. Isn't that like six
innings or 75 pitches,
whatever comes first. It is
horrible this happened in
baseball, it's more horrible
, alot of people watched
and said nothing, and did
nothing. Now, in the great

going strong at 12-3


Submitted
The Melody Wildcats have a good
chance to go all the way this year.
With a new coaching staff and lots of
new faces on the court, the Wildcats are
undefeated in their district (7-0) and 12-3.
Sophomore Sensation Shawn Jackson,
averaging 25 points and 15 rebounds, is
the face of the Wildcats. Brandon Raines
(10 points, 7 assists a game), Laurence
Whitmore (14 points, 8 assists) and
Vernon Hampton (9 points, 6 rebounds)
are also sophomores who are playing their
first year at Melody.
The Wildcats are led by their only
senior, TJ Westberry (13 points, 9
rebounds). Travis Simmons, DeMarcus
Jelks, Anthony Riley, Bryan Raines and
Murphy Chancey make up the rest of the
team. John Day and Vernon Hampton Sr.
are first-year assistants of new head coach
Mike Raines.
The Wildcats have seven games left
before the playoffs, which they will host at
the Live Oak Coliseum.

Fam


SThere's so much history in this race," Kyle Petty
said. "There's so much history of our sport in this
race. I think that's what I would like all new fans to
understand. The Daytona 500 didn't start last year.
There's a lot of history in this sport and there's a lot
of history at this place. This is our hallowed ground.
This is our sacred ground. This is our sacred race. I


When looking at the history of the
Daytona 500, there's one
predominant theme that echoes
throughout families.
Beginning with the inaugural
Daytona 500 in 1959, successes and
disappointments in NASCAR's
biggest, richest and most prestigious
race have been handed down
through generations.
Here's a look at some of the great
families that have competed and
won in the Daytona 500.

The Pettys Father Lee,
Son Richard, Grandson Kyle
There's no family that holds more
Daytona 500 history than the Petty
family.
The family patriarch Lee Petty
won the inaugural Daytona 500 back
in 1959 in a photo finish that took
61 hours to determine the winner.
Lee Petty's son Richard Petty won
a record seven Daytona 500 but is
probably more remembered for a
race he didn't win the 1976
Daytona 500.
In a last lap battle, David Pearson
and Petty crashed exiting Turn 4.


When both cars came to rest in the
tri-oval grass, they still had not
crossed the start/finish line. Petty's
radiator was pushed back into the
fan on the front of the engine and
the car wouldn't restart. But Pearson
dumped the clutch and kept the car
in neutral keeping it from stalling.
Pearson straightened out his
damaged machine and slowly,
crossed the start/finish line to
capture the only Daytona 500
victory of his career. The finish has
become the iconic image of the
Petty-Pearson rivalry.
"More people know about that
race more than the seven I won,"
Petty said.
The Pettys also experienced
Daytona 500 success along pit road.
Richard Petty's brother Maurice
won the Daytona 500 as a crew
chief for Pete Hamilton in 1970 and
Lee Petty served as Richard's crew
chief in his first two Daytona 500
victories.
In addition, Lee Petty's nephew
Dale Inman was the crew chief
Richard Petty's other five Daytona
500 wins.


lily ties run strong in

Daytona 500 history


The third generation of the Petty
racing family is Kyle Petty, who will
make his 27th Daytona 500 start in
the 50th running of the Daytona
500.
Petty has never won the Daytona
500 but did start on the Daytona 500
pole in 1993.
"There's so much history in this
race," Kyle Petty said. '"There's so
much history of our sport in this
race. I think that's what I would like
all new fans to understand. The
Daytona 500 didn't start last year.
There's a lot of history in this sport
and there's a lot of history at this
place. This is our hallowed ground.
This is our sacred ground. This is
our sacred race."'

The Jarretts -
Father Ned, son Dale
Ned Jarrett never had the chance
to celebrate a Daytona 500 victory,
but he was able to celebrate three of
his son's Daytona 500 triumphs.
Ned Jarrett had his chances to win
the Daytona 500 and was just a few
laps short on gas from winning the
1963 Daytona 500 but his son Dale
has three Daytona 500 wins to his
credit with victories in 1993, 1996
and 2000.
When Dale Jarrett won his first
Daytona 500 driving for Joe Gibbs
Racing'in 1993, Ned Jarrett was
calling the race for CBS Sports high
above in the tower and got the


opportunity to bring his -son home to
1 the checkered flag on the final lap
and talk to him on the air in
Gatorade Victory Lane.
Dale Jarrett says his first Daytona
500 win was one for the whole
family.
"I was here in 1963 thinking my
dad was going to win the Daytona
500 and when he ran out of gas, it
was heartbreaking," Dale Jarrett
said. "Now, I understand how much
that meant to him atthat time. I felt
like that was maybe a little
redemption for the family because
my dad helped me a lot and I know
he got a lot from that victory."
Dale Jarrett says the theme of
families helps distinct the Daytona
500 from other major sporting
events in America.
"I don't think you can go to any
other sport and see that in the major
(events) whether it's the World
Series, the Super Bowls, the NBA
championships you can't attach
families and their names to winning
as much as you can in the Daytona
500," Jarrett said.

The Waltrips -
Brothers Darrell and Michael
Darrell and Michael Waltrip are
the only brothers to have won the
Daytona 500.

CHURCH


Bethune-Cookman Gospel



Choir coming here


Submitted
The Bethune-Cookman
University Gospel Choir will
minister to our community
in music at 6 p.m., Sunday,
Jan. 27 in the sanctuary at
Live Oak First United
Methodist Church, 311 Ohio
Ave. South, Live Oak. The
free family concert is open to
anyone in our community.
There will be a love offering
taken. Parking in the rear.
For more information,
contact the church at 386-
362-2047.
The Bethune-Cookman
University Inspirational
Gospel Choir adds to the


religious atmosphere of the
University and to its many collegiate
activities. This organization originally
functioned for the sole purpose of
furnishing gospel music for
Wednesday evening prayer meeting
and was organized by the Pentecostal
Students. Since that time, its purpose
has broadened to include gospel music
for recruiting campaigns in order to
portray a religious image of the
university, as well as raise enthusiasm
in prospective students for entering
Bethune-Cookman University. The
group has grown from approximately
25 originally members in 1966 to the
present 40. Upon first emerging from
the sole concern with prayer meeting,
it expanded to travel to the Florida
cities of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale to
entertain and to raise funds for itself
and host organizations. The present
purpose also includes meetings
achievements need of persons through
music. The choir continues to spread
the legacy of the founder Dr. Mary
McLeod Bethune, who stated that:
"Our Whole School Is For Christian
Service."
The Gospel Choir is an
extracurricular activity consisting of
dedicated individuals who exemplify a
deep appreciation for the music they
sing. The choir renders a wide range of
music to include rock and jazzy
gospel, contemporary and blues
gospel, as well as a cappella
renditions.
The choir is under the purview of the
one Faculty member, acting as
Coordinator and two staff members,
acting as Musical Director and
Chaperone. These persons handle
business affairs to include
arrangements for singing engagements.
Out-of-town concerts are normally


Live Oak First United Methodist

Church to host concert


scheduled for weekends, while local
community concerts are during the
week. Such scheduling causes students
the least interruption of their academic
endeavor. Many concerts are
performed in Florida; however, the
choir travels throughout the United
States. During the spring Vacation
period, the choir schedules a ten day
tour which include performances in
Alabama, California, Texas, Louisiana,
Georgia, North and South Carolinas,
Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia,
Washington, D.C., Maryland, New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Ohio, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri, and New York. Some of the
Gospel Choir's crowning achievements
were performing for The American
Dental Association in Orlando, FL in
September 1996; Participating in the
celebration of McDonalds Restaurant's
opening of their 25,000th store; Being
invited to participate in a Black
History Month celebration by the
United States Navy at Naval Air
Station Miramar in San Diego,
California; Performing for Walt Disney
Corporation in Orlando, Florida on
numerous occasions and having the
distinct honor of being invited by Mrs.
Tipper Gore, wife of the Vice-
President Al Gore to perform at the
Fifty-Second Inaugural Prayer
Services in Washington, D.C. on
January 20, 1993. Only three choirs in
the United States were invited to
perform and the Inspirational Gospel
Choir from Bethune-Cookman
University was the only choir invited
from Florida.
Performances and rehearsals are
under the leadership of the Musical
Director and Coordinator, even to
include the making of recordings. All


previously made recordings have been
sold, indicative of the popularity of the
choir. Rehearsals are normally
conducted in the Heymn Chapel,
Kottle Building, or the Robinson
Music Building on campus. The Choir,
in effect, competes strongly with other
musical organizations on campus for
prestige and audiences attention. Rules
are published for the edification of the
choir members and vigorously
enforced. This activity, however
affords no academic credit or financial
aid for the members, or financial
restitution for the Coordinator; it being
a voluntary organization affording
pleasure and satisfaction to these
involved.
The choir membership is composed
entirely of students, which has been
true from its origin. The directors,
during the period of the Choir's
existence, have been students;
however, the need has mandated that a
full time musical director be hired by
the Coordinator of the choir. The choir
recently added a female chaperone to
the staff to assist with student
supervision.
There was an article published
recently in the Bethune-Cookman
University campus newspaper, THE
VOICE OF THE WILDCAT; the
article, written by a non-choir student,
was entitled "Gospel Choir:
HEAVENLY MUSIC." The choir
presently has a CD available entitled
"Songs Of Inspiration." It contains
some of today's hottest contemporary
gospel hits. The members of the choir
write some of their own music,
permitting the pleasure of creativity
while avoiding the complications of
copyright laws when the choir makes
recordings.

Heart Matters
By Angie Land

I was talking to a friend
sometime back about
living life on a budget.
"Budget!" she said, "Isn't
that where you rent a car
when you go on
vacation?" Needless to
say, we were not on the
same page. Actually the
word "budget" has gotten
a bum rap. It is basically
just spending your money
on paper before you
spend it in life. Author
John Maxwell says, "A
budget is telling your
money where to go
instead of wondering
where it went."
Last week, Heart
Matters addressed the
stress that financial
struggles can bring to our
relationships, and
discovered that
contentment is a key
financial concept to put
into practice. While this
is true, it is difficult to
put into place when
financial problems are
mounting and we find
ourselves in over our
heads. At this point, we
need some basic,
practical help about how
to climb out of the mess
we are in.
A simple budget is a
great place to start
because it allows us to
spend the money we have
on purpose and with
intention. The good news
is that we don't have to
wait for a perfect
month...we can start right
where we are. Overspend
during the holidays?
Credit card debt dragging
you under? Begin by
writing down what you
have today: income and
expenses. This is your
game plan, where you tell
your money what you
want it to do...give every
dollar a name on paper. It
won't be perfect the first
time, but stay motivated


and don't give up...after a
few months, you will
have a much clearer
picture of your finances
and a better handle on
your spending. If you
have trouble sticking to
your budget, try to stay
away from places that
tempt you to spend. Just
like it's not smart for an
alcoholic to hang out at a
bar, if you don't have
extra money to spend,
don't go to the mall,
Home Depot or Bass
Pro...you get the idea.
The goal of a budget is
to manage your money
and over time, reduce
your total debt. The
message of our world
today is "Enjoy now and
pay for it later."
However, the Bible says
in Proverbs 22:7 that "the
borrower is slave to the
lender." When we are in
debt, we are slaves to
what and whom we owe.
The Bible goes on to say
in Matthew 6:24 that "No
one can serve two
masters...you cannot
serve both God and
money." Debt means our
money belongs to
someone else and we are
not free to use the money
we have to help those in
crisis, those in need, or
support God's Work
throughout our world.
Bottom line: we cannot
serve God with our
money when we are
slaves to our lenders.
Motivational expert Zig
Ziglar was quoted as
saying, "If you aim at
nothing, you will hit it
every time!" Let's begin
2008 by living with
purpose toward our
financial health and
easing the stress in our
relationships.-.eaus'ie '
your heart matters.

How would Jesus drive?
What does our driving say about us? We would expect that those who
claim to0be compassionate, Godly people would be considerate
and cooperative in the way that. they drive; but, it is practically
a cliche to remark that almost as soon as people are out of
the church parking lot on Sunday morning, they are driving.
without regard for the other people on the road, acting

way. And although we don't know how or what Jesus
would drive, we can safely infer from the Gospel
message that He would not be an aggressive driver,
putting other people at risk. When Jesus said that we
should render unto Caesar what is Caesar's (Matthew
22:21) that includes following the traffic rules. Jesus
was a model of compassion and His driving would no
doubt have reflected that. Are we considerate of
others on the road, following the rules and letting

aggressive and competitive, trying to get in front of
as many cars as we can? Remember, what goes
around comes around, both on our nation's highway,
for instance, by tailgatin or weavin in and out of
heavy traffic, people are likely to do the same to us.
The Golden Rule is perhaps the most fundamental of
God's moral precepts for humanity, and it applies to
every area of our life, even driving. So, perhaps we
should consider our driving and what it says about us as
a Christian and a human being.

Therefore, whatever you want men to
do to you, do also to them, for this is the
Law and the Prophets.

Jeff Hammond played fuel

Victory Lane, climbed out
of his Chevrolet and
screamed, "I've won the
Daytona 500, I've won the
Daytona 500. Wait, wait,
this is the Daytona 500.
Don't tell.me it isn't."
Michael Waltrip, driving
the No. 15 Chevrolet for
Dale Earnhardt Inc., won the
'first of his two Daytona
500s in 2001. It was also his
first NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series win in his 463rd


"What would have to be the
favorite 500 moment would
be at 1988 at the age of 50, I
won my third Super Bowl of
my career with the best
young An in racing second
to me," Allison said:at the
historic July reunion of
Daytona 500 champions at
DIS. "But I still don't
remember 1988."


career start.
"We grow up watching
our brothers and dads race.
We think it looks like a lot
of fun and we've got to do
that too.
"(It's special) to be able to
share the honor of being a
Daytona 500 champion with
my brother Darrell, who I
grew up admiring and just
following all over the place.
He's the reason I'm a race
car driver. I don't know that
I would have had that idea if
it weren't for him."

The Earnhardts Father
Dale, son Dale Jr.
Dale Earnhardt and Dale
Earnhardt Jr. are one of
three father-son
combinations to win the
Daytona 500 with the others
being the Allisons and
Pettys.
Eamhardt captured his
lone Daytona 500 victory in
1998 on his 20th career
start. With the gift of a lucky


penny from a
young fan glued to
his dashboard,
Earnhardt led 107
laps, including the
final 61, on his
way to winning
one of his most
elusive trophies -
the Harley J. Earl.
Earnhardt's

celebration was
delayed by the
scores of crew
members that lined


"I watched it on TV at home," Earnhardt Jr.
said. "We were in school. Dad and Teresa
came down here, they had to be down here
for a week and families didn't come down
quite as often. The first one that I saw was
the first one I ran in as a rookie. It was quite
an experience. As tough as it was to wait that
long to see one in person, it was probably
better because it just meant so much to be
in the field."


pit road to congratulate the
new Daytona 500 champion.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
wouldn't need as many
starts to win the Daytona
500 as his father. In only his
fifth career start in the
Daytona 500, he captured
the 2004 edition of the race
with President George W.'
Bush in attendance.
But unlike other siblings
who remember as a kid
watching their fathers race
in the Daytona 500 in
person, Ehrnhardt Jr. never
witnessed a Daytona 500 in
person until he made his
first start in 2000.
"I watched it on TV at
home," Earnhardt Jr. said.
"We were in school. Dad
and Teresa came down here,
they had to be down here for
a week and families didn't
come down quite as often.
The first one that I saw was
the first one I ran in as a

was to wait that long to see

The Allisons -
Father Bobby, brother
Donnie, son Davey
Bobby Allison won three
Daytona 500s, including a
historic 1-2 father-son finish
with his son Davey in the
1988 Daytona 500.
Allison completed an
incredible run of success
during Speedweeks that year
when he captured a
Gatorade Duel, a
Nationwide Series race and
then delivered a third
Daytona 500 victory on
Valentine's Day by edging
his son Davey.
His wife Judy admitted
she was pulling for her
husband because "he's the
one that paid the bills."
Allison also had a fourth
victory during Speedweeks -
the fishing tournament in
Lake Lloyd.


Sadly, Allison
can't remember the
1988 finish because
he suffered a career-
ending head injury
in a crash later that
year at Pocono
Raceway.
"What would
have to be the
favorite 500
moment would be at
1988 at the age of
50, I won my third
Super Bowl of my
career with the best
young man in racing
second to me,"
Allison said at the

if it would do anything

movie that somebody n

American way, we will sue.
I don't think you will see a
lawsuit. Does Clemens
really want to allow his


former teammates to be
S deposed and drag this on
further? Don't worry, people
will forget. They don't talk
about Latrell Sprewell
strangling his coach or
Robby Alomar spitting at an
umpire. Chill, Roger, there
are bigger fish to fry, and
ite good luck when you get to
the congressional hearings.
Maybe you pull a Sammy
Sosa and tell them your
18558-F English ain't so good.
