While many of us associate the Christmas season with happy gatherings of family and friends, there are many whose holiday spirits are crushed by the harsh realities of simply making ends meet. Once again The Salvation Army is making a determined effort this holiday season to bring hope to those local families who desperately need a helping hand. Traditionally, The Salvation Army’s bell ringers in Madison at their red kettles, help generate significant support for programs community-wide. However, Local donations are down due in large part to the economy. Home fore-

closures have reached unprecedented levels, unemployment is still a major problem and prices for everyday essentials are rising sharply. All of these factors contribute to an increase in the number of families seeking help from the Army during the Christmas season … as well as an increase in the cost of providing that help. “In this period of economic uncertainty, our income just can’t meet the ever-growing needs,” says Sergeant George Blevins. “But we need to care about our neighbors right here in Madison who face a most difficult Christmas season, struggling even

Leonard Bembry To Challenge Steve Southerland For Congress Conservative Businessman, Farmer, Citizen-Legislator to Focus on Jobs, North Florida Values State Representative Leonard Bembry (D-North Florida) today announced his candidacy for United States Congress from Florida’s second district. He has filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission and will begin traveling the district and building a campaign immediately. A formal announcement tour will follow. “The priorities of this Congress couldn’t be more wrong for north Florida and our nation,” said Bembry. “While politicians in Washington fight with each other and refuse to address the big issues we face, real people everywhere continue to struggle with a stalled economy and poor job market that need a jolt charge and a runaway budget that needs to be responsibly controlled. Steve Southerland has not delivered on the political promises he made in 2010 to create jobs, change Washington, DC, and bring practical solutions that will put Floridians back to work and tackle the

years before I decided that it was my responsibility to pursue public service. I am grounded in north Florida because it’s always been my home. It is where I was raised and where Susan and I have chosen to raise our family. We love it here,” said Bembry. “I am concerned about the kind of future we are leaving for our children and grandchildren. The country is not on the right track and our elected leaders in Washington, DC are failing the test of true citizenship by playing politics instead of solving problems. “If elected, I will go to Washington as a commonsense, honest, hard-working, conservative problem solver who believes that a dose of north Florida values and ‘can-do’ spirit is what we need to get this country moving again,” said Bembry. Leonard Bembry and Susan, his wife of 44 years, have 3 children and 9 grandchildren. The Bembry family spans 4 generations in North Florida.

tough challenges we face.” Leonard Bembry was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2008 and was re-elected last year. He is one of the most independent members of the legislature and perhaps the most conservative Democrat in the Florida House. In the legislature, Bembry quickly earned a reputation as an expert on budget, economic development and agriculture issues. He believes that creating new and better jobs, supporting small businesses by cutting taxes and regulations, protecting our seniors and Veterans, and preserving traditional values are the biggest issues facing America. Bembry will energetically and faithfully serve the remainder of his term in the Florida House and looks forward to a busy and productive 2012 legislative session. “I was a farmer and businessman for almost 40

The third week of December is Human Rights month. In 4-H we promote awareness of all cultures and communities, emphasizing the importance of using the four H’s to be accepting of others. This year the H4 column has explored several topics of celebration ranging from the kooky to the more serious in hopes of demonstrating how through diversity and acceptance we build a stronger community. If you’ve been inspired to lend a hand in your community there are several charities that accept donations and volunteers not only during the holiday seasons, but also year round. Your local 4H is always in need of volunteers to help with its different events throughout the year. Remember volunteer organizations do not wish to take you away from your families and other responsibilities; they wish for people to donate the amount of time they feel comfortable with, doing the things they enjoy. If you don’t feel comfortable committing several hours to teaching a workshop, but you love working in the garden ask if you can donate an hour or two here or there to help start a community garden for your favorite organization. Not a gardener? Think about a talent you have

H4: Head, Heart, Hands, & Health that could be useful to an organization, whether you’re a certified life guard who would love to donate your services for an afternoon outing or you truly enjoy organizing functions. Everyone has special talents that can help serve our communities or organizations better; the task is to find out how to put those talents to use and avoiding feeling burnt out and used. As in all things in life, open communication and an open mind are the best methods for building a strong, positive community. During this time of abundance and thanksgiving, it is important that we take the time to reach out to our neighbors and community members to show our support. Forget the stress and hectic sense that seems to dominate the holiday season and choose to take a more positive stand. Start your New Year’s resolution early and pledge your Head to clearer

thinking, your Heart to greater loyalty, your Hands to larger service, and your Health to better living, for your family, you community, your country, and your world! Happy Holidays! Becky V.

My mother would have been 72 years old on Saturday, Nov. 26. Unfortunately, for me, she will not be here for me to celebrate it with her. Fortunately for her, however, she will be in the midst of an everyday celebration in the presence of her Savior, Jesus Christ. She went to the home that we all long for on Jan. 16, 1999. There are distractions that should keep me from missing her during this week. Thanksgiving was on Thursday, Nov. 24, and I am truly thankful for all the blessings that the Lord has given me. Still, I miss Mama and I know that it will always be that way until the day that the Lord calls me home. There will be other people I know who celebrate their birthdays around the same time as my mother’s birthday would have been. My pastor’s wife, Janice Flowers, celebrates her birthday on Nov. 25, as does Annie Laura Thomas, who attends the church I attend. Cheltsie Kinsley, a co-worker and daughter of my boss, Emerald Greene, and Paul Kinsley, celebrates her birthday on Nov. 27. The birthdays of Cheltsie and her sister, Brooke, are forever embla-

Thankful zoned on my brain; Cheltsie’s birthday is the day after my mom’s birthday. Brooke’s is Jan. 21, the day of my dad’s birthday. These four ladies who celebrate their birthdays around the same time as Mama all share a common trait with Mama – all of them have sweet spirits. I was telling someone the other day about how courteous and polite Cheltsie and Brooke are. The same can be said of Sister Janice and Sister Annie Laura. Happy birthday, Sister Janice, Sister Annie Laura and Cheltsie. As the Thanksgiving weekend winds down, I hope that you have had a chance to be with family and friends, that you enjoy your job and co-workers as I do mine and that God fills your heart with the love of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Letters To The Editor Letters to the Editor are typed word for word, comma for comma, as sent to this newspaper.

Let’s Be Proactive For Our School System Dear Editor, My heart is extremely heavy and I really don’t know where to turn. It is our education situation. There are so many problems that affect our future. It is obvious that there are some who have placed blame on our teachers. Unfortunately, there are many people going in all different directions tying to correct the problem of our troubled system. The heartbreaking part is that many innocent people are being blamed and the outcome of this will be a disservice to our children. Our school system in Madison County is the lowest in the State of Florida. The bottom line is that there is something seriously wrong. I can tell you it is not one set of people to blame. Have we as citizens of Madison County stepped forward to ask what we can do to make a difference? We should not sit back and wait for the problem to solve itself. Have we had a town meeting or forum to identify the problems with our system and possible solutions to solve these problems? I am referring to include all those that are involved for example, Department of education, teachers, administrators, parents, grandparents and concerned citizens. If you are one that likes to complain about our system, then I suggest you become involved. It is better to take action than to sit back and criticize. Of course, criticizing is much easier, but it accomplishes nothing. When you have different ideas and suggestions this is where great ideas are created and solutions are found. We should get together and try to address the problems that we feel are keeping us from achieving our goals. Then sit down and implement a plan of action to achieve these goals. After three months re-evaluate decide if the plan is effective, make changes that are needed and move forward. Teachers are good people that want to contribute to the education of our students and at one time it was a respected career. Now of course we all respond to teachers in different ways. That is because we are all different and it takes all types of people to touch our lives. There should be upmost respect for our teachers; instead they are blamed for our school system being in the situation it is in. Do we teach our children to respect their teachers to the point that they are able to teach a class without interruption, so that all students are allowed to learn? Do we teach our children that it is their responsibility to go to school to get an education in order to be a productive citizen? Do we teach our children the importance of higher education in order to support their families later in life? Do we teach our children that it is not polite to talk back to the teacher or simply refuse to do what is asked of them just because they do not want to do it? Do we take time to read to our children and encourage them to read? Life is not doing things that we want

to do, but what we must do in order to improve our life. Administrators are important part of the education system. They should exhibit outstanding leadership skills. The leadership should be twofold. They must lead by examples for the teachers and the students. They are expected to help the teachers keep order within the classroom when the teacher has exhausted all means. That is where the leadership skills are essential. It would be nice to know that the teachers would have the respect of administration in the sense that they would give the teacher support instead of minimizing the student’s behavior. The student now has more power than the teacher. The students have replied that the teacher is accountable for what they learn. I was taught that I was responsible for what I learn by being prepared for class, doing homework assignments and studying. The students will quickly reply that it is the teacher’s responsibility. There is something seriously wrong with this situation. The teacher is limited to the amount of discipline in the classroom and many students are aware of this and they use this to their advantage. The purpose of this letter is not to place blame on anyone, nor is it written to offend anyone. It is written out of love and concern for our teachers and students of Madison County. We the people of Madison County need to step forward and ask what we can do. We need to stop complaining and take action. I am grateful for the organizations that we have in the schools, but we could use more. Let us come together to give the teachers the support that they need in order to improve our education system. They are many ways that this can be accomplished. We can start by volunteering in our Schools in helping children to succeed with their education. Everyone can be proactive. If we don’t have money we can contribute by volunteering. We can work in groups which will make us stronger. We can sit and listen to children read. Praise them for their accomplishments. We can all contribute to the future of our children’s education. Clubs have been creative in sponsoring programs that would encourage children to excel. We can be creative to help afterschool programs provide additional support with their school work. This is one of the most stressful times for our teachers. We must quit criticizing and give them our support. They need to know that we are behind them and support the cause of improving our children’s future. Just as we support our Troops we need to support our teachers, because they are responsible for our future. Let us all step forward to help our youth succeed in their future. We will all benefit. Let’s be proactive for our school system! Sincerely; Danatta Iott

[New York, 3 October 1789] By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor— and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be— That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions— to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

By Kristin Finney Greene Publishing, Inc. With dance bags, dance shoes, hairspray and tights in tow, the girls from Becky’s Dance Step Studios set off for Mobile in hopes of bringing home the gold, and that is exactly what they did. The group of 17 talented dancers performed in a total of nine dances and brought home six second place, and three first place trophies. The group consisted of Emma Grace Newman, Regan Crosby, Zaria Straughter, Savanna Edwards, Savanna Wilford, Summer Langell, Brittany Edwards, Haley Rogers, Erin Jarvis, Pazlei Jenkins, Celina Quintana, Amelia Blanton, Kendal Wilson, Brigitte Blanton, Cheltsie Kinsley, Elainie Jarvis and April Bishop. They performed to Baby Take A Bow (second place), Car Wash (first place), Broadway Baby

(second place), Your Heart Will Lead You Home (second place), Hit The Road Jack (second place), Dive In The Pool (second place), Rustles Of Spring (first place), The Impossible Dream (second place) and Whiskey In The Well (first place). Also, Car Wash, which was performed by Savanna Edwards, Zaria Straughter and Savanna Wilford won the Best Of category trophy in the Junior Duo-Trio Division. Mrs. Becky Robinson said of her girls, “I am very proud of my dancers and how well they did at Dance Makers Inc. in Mobile because they represented our community and my studio in such a positive way, not only in their outstanding performances, but also in their friendly attitude towards their fellow competitors and in their good behavior during the classes they attended as well. These girls spend countless hours at the studio prac-

ticing and perfecting their competition routines and it is very rewarding to see all of their hard work and dedication pay off.” However, Becky was not alone in helping teach the girls. She shared, “Although the dance team remained under my watchful eye throughout their two months of rehearsals in preparation for this competition, I “passed the torch” as Dance Team Director (after over 20 years) to former dance team member herself, Toni Blanton. I am very proud of her leadership skills and the fact that she was so willing to share what she learned from her experience as a former team member with the next generation of dancers as we train them.” All of the dances that Becky’s team took qualified to go to Nationals in Myrtle Beach. Congratulations on your success, girls!

The Cowboys’ Starting Defensive Line Up By Lynette Norris Greene Publishing, Inc. The Monday before Thanksgiving, the Cowboys are still hard at work with daily football practice, and their hard work shows in the 11-game winning streak that has now has them in the state playoffs. Part of what makes the team so successful is their defense, as head coach Mike Coe has said on previous occasions when speaking of the hard work the defensive line puts forth. Eddrick Williams, #12, defensive end, Brandon Crawford, #11, defensive end and Keldrick Williams, #6, nose guard, together form the Madison County High School Cowboys starting defensive lineup.

Like Eddrick, Brandon Crawford has also been part of the starting lineup for one year. The son of Carol and Solomon Griffin, Sr., he also lists French fries as his favorite food. Keldrick Williams, son of Jerry Miller and Sonya Williams, has held the nose guard position for two years and says his favorite food is pork chops and his favorite TV show is “Sanford and Son.” One thing they all have in common is when they talk about their favorite Greene Publishing, Inc.

Beulah Baptist Church To Have Dedication

First Baptist Church By Nell Dobbs

“’Tis the season to be thankful!” Preacher Gene Stokes’ message for us Sunday morning as he spoke from Jesus’ message in Luke 17 about the ten lepers. Jesus was entering a certain village. The ten men stood far off and in a loud voice they asked Jesus to have mercy on them and He did. He told them to show themselves to the priests and as they went, they were healed! One, when he looked at himself, and saw that he was healed turned back and in a loud voice glorified God, fell on his face at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Where are the nine? Your faith has made you whole!” The message for us is to give thanks in everything and to everybody and to have an “attitude of gratitude” always. We give thanks for the Awana Cubbies (13 present of the 15 members) under Gina Rutherford and her helpers as they blessed us singing “Jesus Loves Me” and their theme song with actions. We also give thanks for 16 Christmas shoeboxes, finally reaching our goal of 100 shoeboxes for three years – 116 total and from the Association churches 314 and pray God’s loving hand upon each child who receives a box. We give thanks to Jargo Clark and family for the beautiful flowers in memory of Dr. William Clark, a memorial of sadness and of joy. Our church-wide Thanksgiving

meal was enjoyed greatly after morning service and appreciated! Thanks to all. Bless all who thought about and provided the free Thanksgiving Day meal at Pinetta Elementary and those who served and worked hard. May all truly be blessed. Continued heavy hearts in the sudden death of Mark Quick and prayers for his family. Sad heavy hearts in the death of Roger McCollum – a brief illness. Prayers for his family. Sad for Dan Campbell and all their family in the death of his mother, Mrs. Dallas Campbell. Prayers for all and for Dan with heart problems. Prayers for the many others I don’t know about. Prayers for the many, many ill ones – our Preacher Larry Law in North Regional Gainesville and his family in his long recovery; for George Osborne in his illness (heart, eyes, feet) and for Estelle and their daughter, Georgette Martinez in her long recovery from a bad fall; for Jane Simmons at South Georgia Medical Center; for Gordon and Hettie Selman (who fell and broke her right wrist and isn’t doing well at all); for Kevin Townsend; and for all others. May God help us know we are accountable to Him for every breath we make and every action we take. Let us thank Him for guiding us and providing for us. Amen! and for all His blessings.

Remembrance Of Things Past: Tom By Kristin Finney Greene Publishing, Inc. Whether it was spending time at Crossroads or playing football at Greenville High School, Tom Ray Kelley’s memories of Madison County are extensive. While Kelley no longer lives in Madison County, he continues to hold fond memories of the county that he was raised in.

Friday, November 25, 2011

Ray Kelley

Kelley came to Madison County in 1939. He entered the first grade in 1942 and attended Greenville Elementary School. He then went to Greenville High School where he played football and basketball. He was also a member of the FFA and 4-H clubs. Many of Kelley’s memories of Madison County are focused in Greenville. He recalls hanging out at the Crossroads Restaurant when he was in school. He also remembers Cooks Sawmill. While most children nowadays spend their time playing video games or watching TV, Kelley’s childhood was not so easy. Kelley grew up on a dairy farm and twice a day, seven days a week he would milk and tend to the cows. For fun, Kelley and his friends would do something outside. Sometimes they would go fishing or hunting. They would go squirrel or coon hunting during their free time.

After graduation, Kelley worked several companies. He was a service manager for Ford Company as well as Cantey Motor Company. He also built for Ken Johnson for 22 years. Then in 1970, Kelley was saved and decided to dedicate his life to the Lord. Kelley has preached for New Macedonia, Mount Olive on Hwy 53 and in Georgia as well. Kelley and his wife Sandy, have been married since 1960. They have three daughters, two granddaughters, one grandson, one great granddaughter and two stepgrandsons. Anyone interested in being interviewed for this article can call 973-4141 and make an appointment with Kristin Finney, or may drop by Greene Publishing, Inc. any day before noon. Those interviewed must have lived in Madison for a large portion of their life, and be able to recall a few things that have changed since that time.
