Trees dancein thee v e n i n g

breeze, their tall,lithe bodies dressedin green gowns. Gin-ger Rogers, a moviestar from long ago,would be jealous oftheir gracefulness onthe dance floor. Theyseem to wave back

and forth as theskies, which dimfrom blue to blackwelcome a sea ofstars as the dancehall lights.

I watch for a fewmoments before go-ing inside. As thesummer wind blowsgently, the trees aretruly dancing withthe stars. I breathe inthe fresh air that Godhas given us, thank-ful for each breath.

I have so much tobe thankful for. Somany times, I wantmore but God knowshow much I can han-dle. I would not wishfor the whole worldin exchange for my

soul. (Matthew 16:26)“Let your conversa-tion be without cov-etousness; and becontent with suchthings as ye have: forhe hath said, I willnever leave thee, norforsake thee.” He-brews 13:5 (KJV)

I am thankful formy family and myfriends. I am thank-ful for a home and forfood on the table andclothing and shoes towear. I am thankfulmost of all for salva-tion through theblood of Jesus Christ.

I think I will gooutside and, like thetrees, dance with thestars.

Dance WithThe Stars

July is NationalPicnic Month,a great time to

be outside and cele-brate summer; gettingwith family and friendsto share food and relax.Of course, it wouldn’tbe the 4th of July with-out taking food out-doors. In the hottemperature of sum-mer, it is especially im-portant to practice foodsafety rules to keep foodfrom causing foodborne illness.

Because bacteria isinvisible, it is hard toconvenience peopletheir summer mealsserved outdoors needspecial care. It becomesa challenge to keephands, utensils andserving pieces cleanand germ free whensoap and water may notbe as accessible on pic-nics. Check ahead oftime to determine ifthere is safe drinkingwater, otherwise plan totake enough water forpreparation and cleanup.

Extension food safe-ty specialists and theFood Safety and Inspec-tion Service of USDA

suggest the followingpractices to keep yourpicnic safe:

Wash your handswith clean safe waterand soap often, espe-cially before eating orpreparing food. Youmay need to carry wa-ter for the purpose ofhand washing.

If there is no cleanwater to wash yourhands, use alcohol-based gel to clean yourhands.

Keep the hand sani-tizers away from smallchildren and follow di-rections carefully.

When temperaturesare above 90°F, perish-able foods should not beleft out for more thanone hour.

Safe shelf-life ofperishable foods is acombination of timeand temperature. Carrycold perishable foodslike hamburgers, hotdogs in an insulatedcooler packed withplenty of ice.

Perishable cookedfoods like potato salador cooked chickenshould be packed on ice,but separate from anyraw meat you may pack.

Carry your coolersinside the car and notin the trunk where thesurrounding tempera-tures can be extremelyhot.

Keep food in coolersuntil you are ready toserve it. If you aregrilling, cook only the

amount of food thatwill be eaten at themeal.

Discard perishablefoods if it has been on apicnic table for a longtime. Remember therule, “If in doubt, throwit out!”

Ice is a food, so han-dle it as you would han-dle foods. Ice that isused for cooling drinksand other foods shouldnot be placed in yourdrinking cup! Considerputting perishable foodin one cooler and packa separate cooler of icefor drinking beverages.

Follow safe han-dling of fresh fruits andvegetables to reduce therisk of food borne ill-ness. Fruit like can-taloupe andwatermelon should berinsed under runningwater before slicing toeliminate any dirt.

At family picnics,remind your childrenand family membersthe importance of goodpersonal hygiene andserving practices toprevent potential cross-contamination ofgerms from your handto others!

July 4, 1776Madison has

two found-ing patri-

ots that honors the 4th

of July. These two, ofMadison’s many, aretruly worthy of note.

One is John McGe-hee, and the other ishis son, Judge John C.McGehee.

Declaration of IndependenceImagine a Revolu-

tionary War veteranburied in MadisonCounty, in a State thatdid not exist, until1845. But it happened!

It is the Declara-tion of Independence,of July 4, 1776, that wecelebrate. The Colo-nial crisis had begun.As Colonies, they metin convention inPhiladelphia, andsigned up for an al-liance to defeat thegreatest country, andarmy, that the worldhad ever seen.

John McGeheeThis patriot was

born in Louisa County,Virginia, in 1763. Heheard the call from hiscountry, and joined thewar as a 16 year old.Imagine, if you will,hearing the call frommen like Patrick Hen-ry, Thomas Jefferson,George Washington,and Harry “Lighthorse” Lee. What wasthe call? A defense ofhis country-Virginia.

The third part of

the Declaration of In-dependence tells usthat this was a docu-ment of thirteen coun-tries. That’s where thedeclaration declares:“These united coloniesare, and of right oughtto be, free and indepen-dent States.” Then thedocument describesthe meaning of theword-State. And thatis: they were to beStates like France, andSpain, each with theirown attached sover-eignty.

Upon his death, atChuleotah, on Madi-son’s old BellamyRoad, near Lake Sam-pola, this formerschool teacher, is laidto rest. His obituaryfrom the TallahasseeFloridian, of January25, 1834, follows:

“Died-At his resi-dence in MadisonCounty, Florida, on the12th instant, Mr. JohnMcGehee, after a pro-tracted illness. The de-ceased was a native ofVirginia, and enteredthe service of hiscountry, at the age ofsixteen, which he nev-er left until the close ofthe Revolutionary War.Immediately afterwhich he immigratedto South Carolina,where he resided untilthe fall of 1830, atwhich time he movedto Florida. He died atthe advanced age of

seventy-two; perfectlyresigned and profess-ing to be ready to meethis God.

“There never liveda man who was moreuniversally (sic) the re-spect and esteem ofthose who knew him.”

John C. McGeheeThe school teacher

and veteran, of thewar that cut Virginiaand the other coloniesfree, making them in-dependent States, asdeclared by the Decla-ration of Indepen-dence, was his son’smentor. And what anexemplar of his fa-thers views.

States’ Rights tothe core! John C. was aplanter, rail road in-vestor and statesman.For instance, known asthe “Judge,” he servedMadison as a delegateto write the first Con-stitution for Florida.That Constitutionwent into effect, in1845.

In an eventful life,this son of the Revolu-tionary War veteran,carried on those tradi-tions. This includedserving Florida asPresident of its Consti-tutional Convention,in 1861, which voted tosecede from the Union.This warrior for Flori-da was part of thosewho made her firstState Motto: “Let UsAlone.”

Fireworks Safety Tips

Enjoy the holiday

but please be careful!

Any firework thatexplodes or launchesinto the air is illegal inthe State of Florida un-less used at a permittedfireworks display.Fireworks Statistics

In 2011, fireworks•caused an estimated17,800 reported fires,including 1,200 totalstructure fires, 400 ve-hicle fires and 16,300outside and other fires.These fires resulted inan estimated eight re-ported civilian deaths,40 civilian injuries and$32 million in directproperty damage.

In 2012, U.S. hospi-•tal emergency roomstreated an estimated8,700 people for fire-works related injuries;55 percent of 2012

emergency room fire-works-related injurieswere to the extremitiesand 31 percent were tothe head.

The risk of fire-•works injury was high-est for young peopleages 15-24, followed bychildren under 10.

On Independence•Day in a typical year,far more U.S. fires arereported than on anyother day and fire-works account for twoout of five of thosefires, more than anyother cause of fires.

According to statis-tics, only 35 percent ofFloridians are at ahealthy weight. 40 per-cent are overweightand 25 percent areobese (more than 20percent above theirideal body weight).

However, it is notonly the current statis-tics that are of con-cern, it is the rate atwhich these numbersare increasing. If obe-sity numbers continueto rise at their currentrate, almost 60 percentof Floridians will beobese by 2030.

May Rainfall Soaks Much Of Suwannee

Lazaro AlemanGreene Publishing, Inc.

The SuwanneeRiver WaterManagement

District (SRWMD) contin-ues its post drought recov-ery, with May’s rainfalllevel above average for the5th consecutive month.

“Districtwide rainfallin May was 5.81 inches,which is 168 percent ofnormal May rainfallbased on records begin-ning in 1932,” states theagency’s latest hydrologicconditions report.

The report notes thataccumulations were most-ly above normal acrossthe district, with the ex-ception of parts of Jeffer-son and coastal Dixie andLevy counties, whichwere much below normal.In fact, the lowest gaugedtotal was two inches,recorded at Wacissa Tow-er in Jefferson County.

“Average rainfall forthe 12 months ending May31 was 15.3 inches higherthan the long-term aver-age of 54.63 inches, thehighest annual surplussince 2005,” states the re-port. “Average rainfall forthe three months endingApril 30 was 8.5 incheshigher than the long-termaverage of 11.3 inches.”

Continues the report,“The last major droughtended in May 2012. In thesucceeding two years,parts of Taylor, Lafayetteand Suwannee countieshave received nearly anextra year’s rainfall.”

The report goes on tosay that most of the rest ofthe district has seen atleast normal rain, with

the exception of isolatedareas that remain belownormal. Overall, however,“rainfall has been 20 per-cent higher than normalin the last two years,amounting to about 21inches above average, thehighest such total since1998,” according to the re-port.

Jefferson County re-ceived 3.41 inches in May,compared with the Mayaverage of 5.88 inches.The county received 65.76inches of rainfall duringthe last 12 months, or 109percent of the annual nor-mal.

Madison County, forits part, received 5.30 inch-es in May, compared withthe May average of 4.73inches. Madison Countyreceived 72.21 inches dur-ing the last 12 months, or128 percent of the annualnormal.

River levels generallyfell toward the end of themonth, although a few ex-perienced minor to mod-erate flooding earlier.Lake levels likewise gen-erally fell, with several, in-cluding SneadsSmokehouse in JeffersonCounty, falling below theirlong-term average levels.

As for groundwaterlevels, they generallypeaked in May after threemonths of steady im-provement, according tothe report.

The National Weath-er Service Climate Predic-tion Center’s (CPC)three-month outlookshows equal chances ofabove or below normalprecipitation through Au-gust.

“The El Niño watchissued by the CPC inMarch remains in effect,”states the report. “TheirJune 6 report gives a 70percent chance of El Niñoin the summer and an 80percent chance in the falland winter. There is stilluncertainty about the pre-dicted strength of the ElNiño, but most modelsslightly favor a moderatestrength event in the falland winter.”

The El Niño, accord-ing to the National Weath-er Service (NWS),includes enhanced precip-itation and severe weatherin the southeast, and isstrongest in the fall, win-ter and spring.

“In the summer, ElNiño can reduce the for-mation of tropical cy-clones in the Atlantic bycausing increased windshear,” according to theNWS.

The SRWMD contin-ues its Phase I WaterShortage Advisory, whichurges the voluntary re-duction of unnecessarywater usage. Informationabout the SRWMD’s year-round lawn and landscapeirrigation measures canbe found at www.my-suwanneeriver.com.

The SRWMD encom-passes all or parts of 15counties in north-centralFlorida, including Madi-son and the eastern por-tion of Jefferson.

Story Submitted

The Florida Forest Service is renamingits Madison Forestry Station in honorof forestry pioneer and World War I

veteran Harvey Greene, Sr. of Madison County,

the Florida Department of Agriculture and Con-sumer Services announced.

“We are thankful for Mr. Greene’s contribu-tions,” said State Forester Jim Karels. “His gen-erosity has truly helped shape forestry and theforest industry in Madison County.”

In 1947, Greene offered to donate the landthat would later be the home of the MadisonForestry Station. His offer came at a time whenland donations were not accepted by the state.Greene then sold the valuable tract of land to thestate for only $350, donating the proceeds to pur-chase forestry equipment for Madison County’sprivate citizens to use for planting trees andfighting wildfires.

Today, the Florida Forest Service providestechnical forest management assistance to nu-merous private forest landowners in MadisonCounty. In addition, the Florida Forest Serviceprovides the residents of Madison County withwildfire prevention, detection and suppressionefforts on more than 400,000 acres.

On every July4, Americanscelebrate the

historical day in 1776when our forefatherstook their vision of lib-erty and democracy andformed a new nation bysigning the Declarationof Independence withthe words, “createdequal, that they are en-dowed by their creatorwith certain unalien-able Rights, that amongthese are life, liberty,and the pursuit of hap-piness.” This develop-ment of a land wherefreedom and opportuni-ty is still unequalled inthe world comes at aprice for those who fightto preserve the vision ofthe 56 men who riskedtheir lives and liveli-hood so we can remainfree.

Ken Parsons spent21 years in the UnitedStates Air Force in Se-curity Forces, where hisjob was to provide secu-rity for all air force per-sonnel and vitalresources throughoutthe world.

his part.Parsons’ family

At theage of 17 he chose tojoin the Air Force so hecould “find his own in-dependence.” His entirecareer in the Air Forcewas in Security Forces,described as the “com-bat arm of the AirForce.” He served inboth Gulf Wars and be-ing good at what he did,was hand-picked for asuccessful covert mis-sion named, Operation

Scathe Mean and endedhis career as a heavilydecorated officer.

During his time inthe military, Parsonshas been stationed allover the world and hasaccompanied nuclearweapons on flights incruise missile pro-grams, fought in drugwars, participated inthe Somali conflict, es-corted an escaping for-eign President and

family out of theircountry, was in

G e r m a n yd u r i n g

down of the Berlin Walland has seen tyrannyand abject poverty notpresent in the UnitedStates. When speakingof his time in the mili-tary Parsons says, “Hav-ing experiences in allthe places I have seenmakes me appreciatemy freedoms more thanany other thing could.”

This 4th of July KenParsons will be enjoy-ing his freedom, cele-brating much like therest of us, doing a littlework, enjoying somebarbecue and watchingthe fireworks. Becauseof veterans like Par-sons, we can watch theskies and enjoy know-ing the colorful explo-sions is for ourenjoyment because the“rockets red glare andbombs bursting in air”has already been donefor us.

Story Submitted

Fireworks traditionally areused in the United States tocelebrate Independence

Day on July 4th.The U.S. Consumer Product

Safety Commission (CPSC) esti-mates that 8,500 persons in the Unit-ed States are treated in emergencydepartments each year for fire-works-related injuries.

Of all fireworks-related injuries,70-75 percent occur during a 30-dayperiod that surrounds the July 4th

holiday (June 23-July 23). Seven ofevery 100 personsinjured by fireworks are hos-pitalized, approxi-mately 40 percentof those injuredare children 14years and younger,and males are in-jured three timesmore often than fe-males. The injuryrate is highestamong boys aged 10 to 14 years. Mostcommonly, injuries from fireworksaffect the hands (34 percent), face (12percent), and eyes (17 percent). In-juries are more frequent and moresevere among persons who are ac-tive participants than among by-standers.

The estimated annual cost offireworks-related injuries is $100million. In 1997, the U.S. NationalFire Protection Association (NFPA)estimated that fireworks were re-sponsible for direct property dam-age of $22.7 million.

Although some types of fire-works are legal in some states, CDC,NFPA and CPSC recommend thatfireworks be used only by profes-sionals. All fireworks potentially aredangerous (e.g., sparklers burn atmore than 1000 F [538 C]), especiallyto children. Because fireworks areunregulated, there is always a riskfor injury with fireworks.

Safety tips for handling fire-

works include:Never allow children to touch

fireworks of any kind, includingsparklers, even after they have "goneoff." It can be hot, or even explosiveand debris from fireworks can be ex-tremely dangerous.

Older teens should only be al-lowed to use fireworks under closeadult supervision.

Fireworks must never be usedwhile drinking alcohol or using oth-er drugs.

Obey all local laws.If allowed in your area and you

choose to do so, buyfireworks only fromreliable sellers.

Store fireworksin a dry, cool place.

Only use fire-works outdoors andalways have a goodamount of waterclose by (a gardenhose and a bucket),in case of emer-gency.

Read and follow label directions.Light only one firework at a

time.Never hold any part of your

body directly over the fireworkwhile lighting it.

Be sure all other people are outof range before lighting fireworks.

Never throw or point fireworksat anyone.

Never light fireworks in a con-tainer, especially a metal or glasscontainer.

Never light fireworks near ahouse or building, dry leaves orgrass, or any other materials thatcan catch on fire.

Never re-light a "dud" firework.Instead, wait 15 to 20 minutes, thensoak it in a bucket of water andthrow it away.
