A chance to buy acopy of The Promised,get it signed and meetthe author, JacquelineAdell Selph, will takeplace during the LightUp, Madison event from4-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3.at the Country Store inMadison. The bookchronicles the life ofJackie and her husbandas the parents of a spe-cial needs child and thelove they show for her.

“There is nothing wecan do,” were the doc-tor’s ominous words,which became the cata-lyst for a promise madeby a young mother ofspecial needs child.Based on one couple’sfoundation of faith,hope, love and exception-al courage, The Promiseevokes a plethora ofemotions as authorJacqueline Adell Selphreveals the triumphs andtragedies her family en-countered while embrac-ing the blessings ofhaving Betsy, their “mir-acle child.” Organizedchronologically and inshort order, the bookaims to sweep readersaway on an excitingrollercoaster ride.

“Many of the storiesI will be sharing withyou have one very spe-cial similarity – my el-dest daughter, Vicky,”the author says. “Vickywas born a special needschild. Her story is so in-tertwined with ours thatI must also tell you aboutmyself and the othermembers of our familyas well.”

The book has earnedrave reviews thus farfrom many who citeSelph’s writing style ascandid and emotional.Reviewer Katie Rosen-farb said, “Women ofevery generation, espe-cially those desiring tobecome mothers, should

It used to be when Iwent to the post officethis time of year, I wouldbe deluged with Christ-mas catalogs and salespapers.

The Sears Wish Bookwas my favorite as achild, up into my adultyears. Filled with hun-dreds of brightly coloredpages, it offered toys ga-lore for children. The onlything that could competewith it when I was a childwas the Western AutoChristmas catalog, filled with bicy-cles and scooters. There were alsoshotguns, rifles and horse saddles inthe catalog. When I was four, I didnot have a horse, of course. I did noteven have a pony. I had a plan,though, to get one. My plan was towait until Bonanza came on televi-sion and bust the screen so I could goand get Little Joe Cartwright’shorse. I never followed through onthat plan. I think my daddy or grand-daddy grabbed the hammer from mebefore I could swing it at the TVscreen.

For adults, the Sears Wish Bookoffered everything from clothes tosnowmobiles (there’s not much callfor snowmobiles in Florida, but I’vealways wanted one.)

So far, this year, the only catalogI have received is from Fiji’s (andthose pictures of that chocolate and

that cheese look so tasty). I have alsoreceived a handful of sales circulars– not many, maybe four or five.

My email inbox is another storyand it threatens to drive me into thedepths of spending hour upon hourlooking at things I cannot affordfrom places like Nieman Marcus, theSharper Image, and even my fa-vorite, Amazon.com. So many thingsto buy; so little money to get them.

Although there are things I seethat I think I want, when I step backand look at them, I realize that theyare just things. They do not give methe peace that I need like Christdoes. They do not give me the love ofa family like I have. They do not giveme the fellowship that my friends do.They do not give me the satisfactionthat my job does.

Remember, this Christmas allthe blessings that you have and thatJesus is the reason for the season.

Time is one thing wenever seem to haveenough of these days andit is at a premium duringthe holiday season.Think about it, you startat Thanksgiving and takeapproximately six weeksof your life, add in all theextra activities andevents, only to end up ex-hausted and crazy by theNew Year.

This year, worksmarter and use timemanagement strategies todevise a workable holidayfor you and your family.Sit down this weekendwith a calendar and mapout a plan to accomplishwhat you want to do. Itmeans, you get organizedahead of time, prioritizewhat you want to do andmay even strike somethings off the list to keepthe family atmospherecalm and in the spirit ofthe season. You need tofind a balance; your 24hours must be divided be-tween work, family, activi-ties and sleep. Recognizetoo, while planning takestime at the beginning ofthe season, it saves muchmore time in the longrun.

A time plan is a greattool to help you organizeactivities, it can be a gen-eral outline of things youwant to do or it can be ahighly detailed schedule.The easiest time plan issimply a �list of projects�,large and small, to bedone as time is availableand you are motivated toaccomplish them. A �timeschedule� is more detailedto include both a se-

quence of projects and es-timates of time necessaryfor doing them. Makingout a schedule forces youto take a look at your en-tire day or week andmake some true decisionsas to the importance ofvarious activities.

Here are a few sug-gestions on managingyour time form ExtensionSpecialists in family re-source manage- ment:

• Make and use a�things to do� list for eachday. List and do them inorder of importance.

• Keep a notebookand calendar with you allthe time. Use them forlisting tasks to be com-pleted, appointments, andshopping needs.

• Use your waitingtime. Accomplish smallchores while you wait,such as reading, writingletters, or making a shop-ping list. Look at waitingtime as a gift of timerather than a waste oftime.

• Guard yourselfagainst agreeing to dothings that you don� t havetime to do well. Learnhow to say �No� or �I don� thave time to do a good job,

it would not be fair of meto take this on.� Be firm!

• Don� ’t let un-planned activities drainaway your own plan forusing the day.

• Concentrate on onething at a time. Put all ofyou energy in to the taskat hand. Tune out inter-ruptions. Don� t wastetime thinking of all thethings that have to bedone.

• And, last but notleast, be sure to block outtime for relaxation andrest.

A sentinel upon the watchtower for commonsense and the rights of individual states, is the TeaParty, and they worked overtime on this one!

USA Today, 11/8/2010, ran this story: “Justwhen you think the Federal Government can’t getany worse, along comes another example of its will-ingness to waste money.” They were going to man-date that cities, throughout these 50 states, replaceall street-name signs with all capital letters to oneswith capital and lower case letters. The governmentmaintained road signs are easier to read that way.

The general government in Washington City, inits “Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices”, an816 -page manual, 2009 edition, had required localand state governments to make these sign changeswithin 15 years.

The Congressional Tea Party caucus swunginto action, brought heat and light to the problemand got the current administration to wake up andnotice the regulatory burden on cash-strapp0ed cityand state governments.

Although the order came from Washington City,the burden of paying for these hundreds of thou-sands of sign changes with each replacement signcosting from $30 to $110, would fall upon local leveltaxpayers.

Sign replacement for New York City alone, waspegged at $27.6 million dollars. Washington Post,8/31/2011.

Tea Party stalwarts, in contacting possible alliesin their growing coalition to defeat and or modifythese and similar over-the-top federal regulations,caught the attention of states and municipalities.

For instance, Idaho officials were led to take astance. They wrote in January that “there is a realneed to avert costs that may not have a good returnon investment with regard to a meaningful safetybenefit - at a time when all public agencies withinIdaho can least afford it.” NYTimes, 8/30/2011.

New York State’s Transportation Departmentsaid it was “very concerned that the necessary re-sources may not be available” to meet the deadlines.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is nowsaying sign changes could be made whenever cur-rent signs needed to be replaced.

Even former Republican Congressman, Ray La-Hood, but now Secretary, U.S. Department of Trans-portation, has seen the light. “It’s just plain commonsense,” he now says, that “specific deadlines for re-placing street signs makes no sense and would havecost communities across America millions of dol-lars in unnecessary expenses.”

The Congressional Tea Party Caucus insistedthat local and state transportation agencies werebest equipped to determine when they needed to re-place signs and other items in the course of theirdaily work.

These Sentinels upon the watchtower4 caughtthe bureaucracy’s attention and now 46 deadlineshave been eliminated. This makes for the best use oftaxpayer dollars. They were, however, unsuccessfulin getting all the mandates expunged. About a dozenother deadlines from the 2009 manual were retained.

A small group, fired up, can have an impact.Just thinking you’re right is not enough. Only ac-tion can turn the tide. That’s the Tea Party Caucus!

Imagine wrapping this up for your little girl forChristmas. It may not fit under the tree, but it’s a per-fect fit for a little princess, all decked out in littlewhite Christmas lights (it’s wired for electricity) anda wreath on the front door. Peek through the win-dows and you’ll see a little white dining table andchairs, topped with a miniature pale pink Christmastree adorned with rose pink ornaments.

The little-pink and-white confection magical-ly appeared on the courthouse lawn, meticulouslycrafted by talented elven hands; the little cottageeven has a hardwood floor. Studstill Lumber donat-ed the $2000 worth of lumber and building materials,and the Madison County High School baseball teamis selling raffle tickets for five dollars each – lessthan what you’d spend on wrapping paper if youtried to wrap it. Tickets are available at StudstillLumber or from any baseball player or family mem-ber. From time to time, players will also be sellingtickets on the courthouse lawn, including during theDec. 3 Light Up Madison event. The drawing is 5p.m., Dec. 16, on the courthouse lawn.

The Treasures of Madison County Museum onthe corner of Range and Rutledge Streets will openits doors Saturday evening during the Light UpMadison event and invite everyone inside for theirOpen House.

“We’ll have some games and giveaways,” saidBill Bunting, one of the museum volunteers. Peoplewho come up with correct answers to trivia ques-tions regarding Madison history can win prizes, likethe CD/DVD recordings of local historical accountsfrom the county’s bygone eras.

“We might even have a potluck drawing for aprize,” Bunting added.

The museum volunteers plan to have their doorsopen from 5 to 9 p.m., to coincide with the Light-Up

Madison hours. Folks can try their hand (or head,as the case may be) with a trivia questions game, trytheir luck with a drawing or just come in and lookaround to see what the museum has to offer: trea-sure mined from the past, tangible pieces of localhistory.

The museum’s windows are all dressed up withtiny Christmas trees and other seasonal decora-tions, looking their best and waiting for company todrop by any time during the evening.

Come on in, they seem to say. Stay a while andlook around. Take a look at the Photographic Trea-sures of Madison County books for sale, along withgreat stocking stuffers like the historical CDs andDVDs.

Don’t be a stranger. Come on back anytime. Youmay notice something new every time you visit.

Reid Carlton. While Reid has a big arm, he hasn’t fullydigested Trinity Catholic’s playbook yet. This hasforced the Celtics to become a run-first team for the firsttime in seven years.

The Celtics’ last four quarterbacks all found colle-giate homes at the University of Florida, Purdue, Mia-mi and Valdosta State.

Carlton has amassed 1,182 yards passing with ninetouchdowns and nine interceptions.

On defense, the Celtics’ linebacker Will Cothron (82tackles) will not play in the game due to a shoulder in-jury suffered in last week’s playoff game.

Linebacker Marquel Holmes is a senor with 67tackles and two interceptions.

Lorenzo Washington is a senior free safety, who has65 tackles and five interceptions including three re-turned for touchdowns.

The defensive line is led by Jon General, a seniordefensive end with 61 tackles and 14.5 sacks, and ColeRogers, a senior defensive tackle, with 45 tackles andeight sacks.

Trinity’s head coach has a name that should be fa-miliar to college football fans. He is former UF quarter-back John Brantley and his son, John, is the Gators’current starting quarterback.

Trinity Catholic posted a 14-0 record and won theState 2B championship last year before moving up toClass 3A. This year, they have not been as fortunate,compiling a 7-4 record. One opponent the Cowboys andCeltics have in common is the Gainesville High PurpleHurricanes. Trinity lost to them 29-6, while Madisonbeat them in Gainesville 21-17.

Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Catholic’s sta-dium, located at 2600 SW 42Nd St. in Ocala.

When the quarterback throws the football,somebody with speed and agility (a wide receiver orpossibly a tight end) has to be there and be open tocatch that pass, hang onto it no matter what – andrun with it, if possible, for as far as possible – all thewhile, outmaneuvering and outrunning the safeties,cornerbacks and other defensive players of the op-posing team.

The four young men who play the wide receiverposition for the Madison County High School Cow-boys are Charles Brown, Jr. (#3), Neal Brown (#19),Tre Arnold (#7) and Jason Hayling (#16).

Neal Brown, a third-year wide receiver and theson of Eric and Kenya Brown, recalls the gameplayed against Live Oak as one of his favorite mo-ments. Only a week after their first game of the sea-son against Colquitt, where they lost by only onepoint, the Cowboys came back and walloped LiveOak 40-8; however, that isn’t the only reason Neal re-members that game so well.

“I had four catches for 112 yards and one touch-down,” he said of the home game with all theirfriends, fans and family present. “It was a moment

I enjoyed.” Jason Hayling, on the other hand, recalls the

Colquitt Game as “one of several” of his favoriteCowboy moments, “when I saw how well we playedtogether.” The son of Marva Hayling, he has playedwide receiver for two years.

Tre Arnold, the son of Sharon Haynes andChuck Arnold, remembers the game against TaylorCounty, another Cowboy victory, where he playedhis first game as a starting wide receiver and madehis first catch. Like Hayling, Arnold has been awide receiver for two years.

Charles Brown, Jr., son of Charles Brown, Sr., isanother three-year wide receiver, one who hopes toplay college football and loves ESPN, recalling thetime spent at the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Ath-letes) camp as one of his favorite moments.

Hayling also talked about FCA Camp, where helearned all about his teammates, as did Arnold. Af-ter hearing some of the stories about their lives, “wefelt closer to each other,” Arnold said.

That friendship and closeness, a theme that of-ten comes up when speaking with Cowboy players,the knowledge that they can depend on each other,may be part of why they work together so well as a

team and are a force to be reckoned with on the play-ing field. “When you come out here, you knowyou’re going to be with friends,” said Neal Brown.“They’re all like family. If you have nobody else togo home to, you know you can go home to them.”

When it comes to other favorite things, Neallikes the movie “ATL” and the TV show “Tyler Per-ry’s House of Payne.” His favorite food is BBQ,which is also Hayling’s favorite. When it comes tomovies, though, Hayling lists “All About the Ben-jamins” as his favorite. Arnold likes the movie“Blindside,” with his favorite foods being friedchicken and pork-and-beans.

All four young men plan to attend college aftergraduation. Neal Brown doesn’t speak of a majorjust yet, but knows he wants to get an education.Charles Brown, Jr. plans to play football and get aneducation. Arnold hopes to play sports while heworks toward a degree in engineering, and Haylingplans to study criminal justice.

Then it’s time to hurry out to the practice fieldfor another daily fast and furious practice session,so they can play another game of great football forall those Cowboy fans come Friday night.

Go Cowboys!

When it comes to the history of Madison’s pub-lic school system, there are many names that cometo mind. One of the names that many people mightrecall is Gerald Anderson. Anderson served as prin-cipal for Madison Primary School, Pinetta Elemen-tary School and Madison Middle School throughouthis career. Most of his time was spent at theMadison Primary School. He worked at the PrimarySchool for five years at the beginning of his career.It was actually that job that brought him to Madisonfrom Nebraska. After leaving the Primary School,Anderson worked for Pinetta for one year and theMiddle School for seven years. He then returned toMadison Primary School, where he retired almosteight years later.

Throughout Anderson’s time in Madison therehave been many changes made to the schoolsthroughout the county. Anderson recalls when theychanged Madison Primary School to Kindergartenthrough third grade, from Kindergarten throughsixth grade. He also remembers when they builtMadison County Central School to replace the oldprimary school and when the old middle schoolclosed down.

Anderson recalls spending his free time playinggolf at the Madison Country Club. “I played usuallytwice a week,” he explained. He also remembersplaying tennis at North Florida Community Collegeon a regular basis. He even competed in tennis tour-naments at the college. Now Anderson spends hisfree time fishing on the Gulf.

Another thing that Anderson has seen changeare prices. He remembers when fruits and vegeta-bles were far less expensive than they are now. Healso remembers when gas was less than half theprice it is now and the same with milk. However, not

all of the changes that Anderson has seen have beenbad. Anderson believes that Madison as a whole hasimproved a lot over the years. “The roads are nicerand there are neat places to eat,” he stated.

Anderson has three children with his ex-wifeCharlotte Cason. Their children are Michael (Mike),Karen Hackett and Linda Smart.

Anyone interested in being interviewed for this arti-cle can call 973-4141 and make an appointment withKristin Finney, or may drop by Greene Publishing, Inc.any day before noon. Those interviewed must have livedin Madison for a large portion of their life, and be ableto recall a few things that have changed since that time.

Way Back When Remembrance Of Things Past:Gerald Anderson

Greene Publishing, Inc. Photo by Kristin Finney, November 30, 2011

Gerald Anderson served as principal for MadisonPrimary School, Pinetta Elementary School andMadison Middle School throughout his career.

On this day in 2001, the Enron Corporation files forChapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a New York court,sparking one of the largest corporate scandals in U.S.history.

An energy-trading company based in Houston,Texas, Enron was formed in 1985 as the merger of twogas companies, Houston Natural Gas and Internorth.Under chairman and CEO Kenneth Lay, Enron rose ashigh as number seven on Fortune magazine's list of thetop 500 U.S. companies. In 2000, the company employed21,000 people and posted revenue of $111 billion. Overthe next year, however, Enron's stock price began a dra-matic slide, dropping from $90.75 in August 2000 to $0.26by closing on November 30, 2001.

As prices fell, Lay sold large amounts of his Enronstock, while simultaneously encouraging Enron em-ployees to buy more shares and assuring them that thecompany was on the rebound. Employees saw their re-tirement savings accounts wiped out as Enron's stock

price continued to plummet. After another energycompany, Dynegy, canceled a planned $8.4 billion buy-out in late November, Enron filed for bankruptcy. Bythe end of the year, Enron's collapse had cost investorsbillions of dollars, wiped out some 5,600 jobs and liqui-dated almost $2.1 billion in pension plans.

Over the next several years, the name "Enron" be-came synonymous with large-scale corporate fraudand corruption, as an investigation by the Securitiesand Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice De-partment revealed that Enron had inflated its earningsby hiding debts and losses in subsidiary partnerships.The government subsequently accused Lay and JeffreyK. Skilling, who served as Enron's CEO from Februaryto August 2001, of conspiring to cover up their compa-ny's financial weaknesses from investors. The investi-gation also brought down accounting giant ArthurAnderson, whose auditors were found guilty of delib-erately destroying documents incriminating to Enron.

For those of you whoread Mom’s weekly articleabout the news at MadisonFirst Baptist and the entireMadison community, youknow she always ends withMay you be blessed.

In addition, she uses thesame ending phrase for the al-most-daily phone conversa-tions my family and I havewith her. I moved to Mobile,Alabama, in 1986 for a “big”job, married a local yokel in1988 (a sweet Baptist deaconwho has put up with me thesepast 23 years), and I have livedhere ever since. I cannot evenimagine how many times Ihave spoken to Mom, Dad andother family members on thephone throughout the years!Plus, my car goes on “autopi-lot” as we regularly make the311-mile trip from Mobile toMadison, a trip I’ve made nu-merous times through theyears!

My husband, Bobby,sons, Rob and Rhett, and Iwere fortunate to be in Madi-son for the Thanksgiving holi-days last week and I thoughtabout how blessed I really am.Here’s a list of things I amthankful for:

My sweet mom, VirginiaNell Agner Dobbs, is still withus. She taught many of you atMadison Primary School“back in the day” or was yourlibrarian. To this day, I amstill asked sometimes, “Areyou Mrs. Dobbs’ daughter?” Itis funny to have that as my“claim to fame,” but I amblessed to have that. I remem-ber how Oadie, Jesse, and Nitaand I would go with her afterschool years ago to visit someof her students. She was agreat teacher. In fact, RosieKnox Nixon, now an Englishinstructor at North FloridaCommunity College, wrote atribute to Mom recently abouther recollections of Mom asher second grade teacher theyear her father died. Thanks,Rosie, that meant a lot toMom.

Mom’s sense of commu-nity and love for each of you.Every morning when I talk toher she fills me on all the“Madison news.” When I re-mind her I have not lived inMadison since 1982 and do not

remember who is related towhom, particular folks whomarried, and other key eventsof Madison County, she says,“Of course, you do!”

Mom’s willingness, in-terest and ability to continuewriting her weekly columnfor you all. Though she didtake a short hiatus while car-ing for Daddy at home from2006 to 2008, she was happy toresume the writing of hercolumn. I believe she told meshe has been writing it forabout 10 years. When I’mhome, so many of you tell mehow much you enjoy readingher news and learn so muchabout people from her. (I’mnot sure if that’s good or bad– ha ha!)

•The Madison McDon-ald’s. When I grew up inMadison in the 60’s and 70’s,there were no fast food restau-rants. I think we had TheDairy Bar, later called Hill-crest Restaurant, which wasowned by the John Waringfamily. Their oldest son, John,was one of my classmates.And, of course, Ken’s Bar-B-Que was one of the otherrestaurants. I’m thankful thatwhen I go into McDonald’snow I see former schoolmatesand when I remind them who Iam, I am no longer a“stranger” to Madison.

In fact, I was in McDon-ald’s last Friday night doinggraduate work (Mom doesn’tget Internet connection “wayout in the country” where shelives) when students, bandmembers, and others cameinto McDonald’s after the Fri-day night football game. TheCowboys had just beaten aCatholic high school, accord-ing to one of the young people,and they were loud and rowdy.I spoke to one of them andsaid, “Hey, I’m not as old as Ilook. I used to be in the Madi-son High Band and played theclarinet. Then, we were theMadison Cougars at the oldhigh school.” You know thelook one gets from young peo-ple when they hear a commentlike that!

Childhood and communi-ty friends. Our dear Hansonfriend, John Troyer, who wefirst met at Pine Grove BaptistChurch in the 70’s, preached at

Hanson Methodist Church forthe Sunday morning service.Mom, his mother Pat, John’s“best friend” Vicky Walker,her friend, Bob, and I wentthere to hear him preach. Itwas good to see communityfriends: Archie and OpalStrickland (I remember theywere high school sweet-hearts), their Mom, Pauline,their uncle and aunt, Elmerand Louise Strickland,Glendyle Little (our neighbordown the road on Highway254 – we loved her parents,Mr. and Mrs. Odom who weattended church with at PineGrove), the Newsberrys, in-cluding Heidi, who encour-aged everyone to go see herfather’s new head stone, Lau-ra Pulliam (also our neighboron Highway 254) without Mr.Jim, who was not feeling wellthat morning, and too manyothers to mention. John is agreat preacher and we en-joyed the community spirit ofthe congregation very much.

Special friends of Madi-son First Baptist. Mom and Iattended the 80th birthdayparty of Christine Blanton(hope you don’t mind meputting your age in print,Mrs. Blanton) at the churchand it was good to see somany old friends. Years ago,we used to see Mrs. Blanton atDr. Gibson’s dental officewhere she worked. And, Iworked with Dyan, herdaughter-in-law, many yearsago at Gulf Life Insurancewhen I was at home that firstyear after college.

Mom and Dad’s love forgardening and sharing withothers. Mom insisted that Ibring back satsumas andkumquats from their farm; Ibelieve my family and I hadabout 50 of each in the carwith us on our way back to Al-abama Sunday night. Daddywas always so excited abouthis ability to grow citrus inMadison and wouldn’t let any-one have a piece until “Sister”(yes, that’s me) came homeand picked all she wanted. Icurrently work at Taylor-Wharton Cryogenics in thesouth part of Mobile Countyas their global marketing co-ordinator. I brought some ofMom’s fruit in to the office to-day and everyone enjoyed eat-ing them. I told them the fruitwas compliments of my sweet,83-year-old mom.

So, you see, I too amblessed. In fact, I am veryblessed to have had VirginiaNell Agner Dobbs as my sweetmother. A few years ago, I wastelling Oadie that I was get-ting just like Mom: I was sav-ing plastic bags, making sure Igot all of the extra liquid outof a can before I threw it away,and other “Nell characteris-tics.” To which my brotherreplied, “Oh, no, you will nev-er be half the woman Momis!” And he is right…

I love you, Mom, and sodoes all of Madison County!
