Just as the people of Madisonwant to take their communityback, so the students in the Madi-son County School System wantto take their schools back, Sher-iff ’s Department InvestigatorTina DeMotsis told the MadisonCounty School Board Tuesdaynight at their Nov. 22 meeting.

DeMotsis, who already workswith Crime Stoppers of MadisonCounty, Inc., was proposing a newchapter of Crime Stoppers atMadison County High School, toprovide a way for students to dothe right thing without fear ofreprisal.

If they see a cell phone beingstolen, a locker being broken into,guns or knives or drugs beingbrought on campus, graffiti writ-ers at work or other vandalism inprogress, they would have a safe,

anonymous, untraceable way inwhich to report it. The call goesto a local number, 973-2762 – a cellphone DeMotsis keeps with her atall times, one that does not haveCaller ID or any other way totrace incoming calls. The callsthat come in are not recorded.Crime Stoppers does not want thecaller’s name, she remindedeveryone, just their information.

Students can also do text-tip-ping or post their information onCrime Stoppers’ Facebookpage…all anonymously. The pop-ularity of texting among studentshas led to the development of newsoftware that allows Crime Stop-pers to receive and respond to textmessages sent from mobilephones, or WebTips received on-line, all without ever knowingwho sent the messages or where

If you’re a regular reader of this column, youknow that I’m a self-proclaimed conservative.While my republican credentials are less thansterling, I’m a rock solid conservative. Of thethree brands of conservatism (economic, social,and security), each is important to my politicalphilosophy, but my bottom-line is economic. Tome, if it doesn’t “add up,” everything else is moot.But what does it mean to be a conservative and

where does that come from? I’ll endeavor to an-swer those questions personally.I believe in free-market capitalism. I think

when government interferes with the free-marketeconomy, it generally does so for the wrong rea-sons and mucks things up. So I side with that firstand great (small d) democrat Thomas Jeffersonwhen he said, “that government which governsthe least, governs the best.”I don’t believe in central planning. That’s for

communists and socialist wannabees. Decentral-ization is much like entrepreneurism; it unleashesthe individual to, as the army likes to put it, “be allyou can be.” Accordingly, I believe in individualresponsibility — if we all take responsibility forour individual actions and not look to others toblame when things go wrong, the world will be abetter, more civil place.I think one of the greatest creations of the

American form of government was federalism –we are a united nation of fifty sovereign states.This is in keeping with the theme of decentraliza-tion. Each state is different and has a unique set oflaws which apply only to that state. When theheavy hand of Washington weighs in and trumpsthe rights of each state to make its own laws re-garding issues reserved to the individual state, itangers me. Not surprisingly, I am an “originalist”when it comes to interpreting the Constitution.I believe in the elements of private business

like profits; capital investment; cash flow; returnon investment; cost of goods; customer satisfac-tion; competition, etc. As a rule, these are con-cepts that are foreign to government and thepublic sector. They live in another world. Theydon’t have a clue about what makes the businesscycle tick. Naturally, I put my faith in the privatesector economy. If you want to see economicgrowth and greater employment, then place youremphasis on the private, not the public sector.This is where I think the president has it exactlywrong.So where do these ideas come from? Maybe

some of it had to do with my economics training inthe late 1960s and my introduction to Milton Fried-man. A few years later, I did meet Barry Goldwa-ter, but by then, his heyday had eclipsed. I was abig fan of Ronald Reagan and the people who in-troduced us to supply-side economics. Jack Kempwas one of my heroes. But who laid the groundwork conservative philosophy?Quite possibly, the answer is a brilliant Aus-

trian economist by the name of Freidrich A. vonHayek. Writing from London in 1944 (he was in ex-ile during the Nazi years), Hayek published theclassic work, “The Road to Serfdom.” What a sim-ple but elegantly descriptive title! Hayek rejectedall forms of totalitarianism, whether in the formof communism, fascism, or anything else. He ar-gued that this would lead to subservience to thestate or serfdom as he described. And it wouldn’tbe sudden. There would be a road we would travelupon that would gradually eat our liberty andswallow our individual freedom to make our ownchoices, our own mistakes.Hayek warned us that growth in planning was

inevitable and that we must guard against it. To-day, we see this in the form of ever-growing regu-lation and increased tax burden. These werebattlegrounds that Ronald Reagan fought againstduring the 1980s. Coming from central Europe,Hayek would see the economic turmoil of the Eu-ropean Union today as a natural progression of so-cialism and the welfare state. It cannot besustained and like all forms of totalitarianism,eventually will collapse under its own weight. Thecentral question is how much damage will it do be-fore the fall?One of the things that Hayek wrote about was

“the law of unintended consequences,” legislationthat often goes astray when bureaucrats andjudges take over interpreting the new law. That re-minds me of a story told by Monica Crowley whenshe served as an intern to Richard Nixon duringhis post-presidency. Crowley asked him what hewas thinking when he signed the EndangeredSpecies Act twenty years before and now was be-ing used to economically hamstring farmers andother builders. Nixon sheepishly replied, “Itseemed like a good idea at the time.”Hayek died nearly two decades ago, but his

good ideas have stood the test of time.

In The

Act

I was reading a book recently, and saw a quotethat caught my eye and my mind immediately. Thename of the book was “Best Friends Last a Life-time.” It was written by Dr. S. M. Henrriques. A sI read the book I thought of the many, many friendsI have known in my lifetime of 72 years. Some arestill living in Madison, and some have moved away.And, sadly enough, some have passed on to live inHeaven until others of us get there to join them. Weall need friends all the time. But, sometimes, whatwe need more is to be a friend for someone else. Itmight sound selfish but it is true that offering loveand friendship to another person does us as muchgood as anyone. Admittedly, it is not always easy; noone ever guaranteed that it would be. But, doing thedifficult, just because of friendship, is itself a won-derful description of being a friend. Sometimes being a friend requires staying up

late at night when you would rather be sleeping.Sometimes it means canceling plans to be availablefor someone going through a rough time. Othertimes, it calls for defending another friend when therumors are rampant, but choosing instead to believeonly the best of them. Or, it can mean standing bywhen others suddenly find themselves too busy, yetchoosing to be available for another. Or, giving ad-vice. Or, lending an ear. Or, sitting in silence whenthe pain is too great for conversation. Or, cookinga special dinner. Or, any of a million things onemight name. Growing up, I remember many of my first

friends as a child. My very best friend as a younggirl was Rosemary Clark, the daughter of Jargo andthe late Eunice Priest Clark. As the years went by,and Rosemary moved to other cities, we have kept intouch and call each other on our birthdays. She alsocalled and told me how sad she was when my father,Buford Selman, passed away. I have had many othervery close friends -- Jackie Johnson, among others.Jackie and I were expecting our babies at the sametime when she and Kin were expecting Mary Bess(Johnson), and Tommy and I were expecting Emer-ald Elizabeth Greene. They were born just onemonth apart. Jackie and I were officers of the Madi-son Junior Woman’s Club, and went to other townsto meet other young women in the Junior Woman’sClub. Our friends with us were so afraid we wouldhave our babies before we got back to Madison, butwe didn’t. We waited and they were born when theywere supposed to be. It was Marjorie Holmes whosaid: “The man who treasurers his friends is usual-ly solid bold himself.”It was Thomas Wilson who said: “Friendship is

to be purchased only by friendship. A man may haveauthority over others, but he can never have theirhearts, but by giving his own.” It was a PersianProverb that says: “The world is a rose; smell it andpass it on to your friends.” And, it was FrederickWilliam Fisher who said, “Kind words are the musicof the world. They have a power which seems to bebeyond some angel’s song which had lost its way andcome to earth.” And, the last quote I will leave with you is: “ A

friend is someone who needs me, trusts me, and ishappy when my news is good; someone who won’t goaway. ......Angela Douglas With this, my friends, I leave you to think about

your best friends, and call them up to remind themyou love them...... Nuff said.....Bye for now.....See ‘ya.

Christmas is less than four weeks away, andeveryone is already buying and wrapping presentsin preparation of the holidays.I would like to take this time/space to encourage

everyone to shop locally, as much as they can. Iknow, and understand, that by living in a small townthere are some things that we have to go out of townfor, in order to purchase. Things such as certain de-signer jeans, electronic games, iPhones and iPads,and certain children toys can only be found in someof the big, out-of-town businesses. However, there are so many gift ideas that are

available in our town: hunting and fishing supplies,jewelry, purses, dinner plate sets, antique furnitureand clothing, artwork, clothing, theme-relateditems, knick-knacks, tools, auto parts, lawn and gar-den items, and memorabilia. Some “non-traditional” Ideas for the “hard to

buy for” person on your list (or someone who al-ready “has it all”) could be a facial or hair cut froma local salon; a plant or tree from a local florist; ahome-made cake ; a gift card to a local restaurant,pharmacy, gas station; or a local “home-based” inde-pendent salesperson (such as Avon, Mary Kay, Tup-perware, etc.) Use your imagination; there are tons of ideas

that can be thought up, all while staying within oursmall community. Go walk around and walk in ourhome-owned businesses; you might surprise your-self with the amount of gift ideas you will find.Top reasons to shop locally: Save Time, Gas and Energy – without having to

drive long distances or spend countless hours on theroad you will save money on gas and save your timeand energy for fun this holiday season.Boost Employment – more sales in our commu-

nity means more people are needed. That’s good forthe economy and providing jobs for your family ,friends, neighbors, and possibly you. To Promote Economic Development – More local

sales mean more money in circulation. That meansmore businesses can grow and new businesses canstart. That improves the area for everyone. To Get Personal Service – You know you can

trust the person behind the counter to give you thebest advice and value when you know them person-ally.To Give To Your Community – When you shop

locally, a portion of the money from your purchasespays the wages of your friends, family and neigh-bors who work at local businesses.To Help Others – Owners and employees of local

businesses support a wide range of community ser-vices and charitable projects with their time, talentsand money. So, get busy and get ready for Christmas. Santa

Claus will be coming down our chimney in a matterof weeks. Just make sure you check local shops be-fore you bust off out of town. But, most importantly – remember the true

meaning of Christmas is NOT Santa Claus – it’s Je-sus Christ.And, no matter what you buy – be sure to throw

in a one-year subscription to your local newspapers!Your family/friends will thank you for it! Until then….see you around the town.

To illustrate the ef-ficacy of Crime Stop-pers, DeMotsis relatedan account of an arrestmade in the communityless than fifteen min-utes after someonecalled in an anonymoustip.

The new chapterwould not require anytaxpayer money fromthe board or the county.“This is criminals pay-ing for criminals,” saidDeMotsis. A certainamount of the fines and

court costs assessedagainst the miscreantsgo into a trust fund ad-ministered by the attor-ney general’s office;Crime Stoppers organi-zations apply for grantsfrom this fund to paybasic expenses andfund rewards to callerswhose tips result in ar-rests.

The high schoolchapter would have astudent board of direc-tors, composed of stu-dents who havepermission slips fromtheir parents allowingthem to serve, and whoare responsible enoughto maintain a certainGPA and attend weeklymeetings. The studentboard members wouldoperate under the um-brella of the CrimeStoppers of Madison

County, but would notbe handle any CrimeStopper money, nor willthey ever know theidentities of victims,witnesses or suspects;instead, they would beresponsible for decid-ing how best to get theword out to fellow stu-dents and educate themabout how the programoperates, and persuad-ing them about the im-portance of using it toreport somethingamiss. Student boardmembers would need tobe creative about usingflyers, logos, mottosand other means of dis-seminating informa-tion, using whatevermethods they deembest as they develop theprogram for theirschool. They will coor-dinate and work withCrime Stoppers ofMadison Countythrough school liaisonMary Coody.

DeMotsis conclud-ed her presentationwith a request that theschool board draft amemorandum to sendto the attorney gener-al’s office, stating thatthey, the board, havegiven their official ap-proval for a CrimeStoppers chapter at thehigh school.

The board votedunanimously to granther request.

“We ask, we ask andwe ask,” said Mayor JimCatron at the City Em-ployee AppreciationLuncheon held at theMadison Fire Station.“But very seldom do wethank.”

Catron was alludingthe plethora of vital ser-vices performed for resi-dents of the City ofMadison by its 59 em-ployees in its public util-ities, roads, lawenforcement, and emer-gency services depart-ments. As residents,Catron pointed out, weask of these employeesthat our water be clean,that our sewers work,and that our streets besafe and passable, alongwith many other things;often we ask these sameemployees to do morewith less.

The Nov. 17 lun-cheon was held in honorof those 59 employees, toconvey a “thank you” ina very public way duringthis traditional season ofthankfulness. Speakingof the validating powerof a “thank you,” Catronencouraged all citizensof Madison to regularlyexpress appreciation totheir public servants fora job well done, whether

it be with a card, phonecall, email, smile orhandshake.

“Public servants areour hometown heroes,”said Catron. “But theircontributions are oftenunnoticed and unappre-ciated.”

Just before the lun-cheon was to begin, oneof the fire trucks headedout on a call with someof the Fire and Rescueemployees who were be-ing honored that day. Itdid not return until theceremony was nearlyover.

As several depart-ment heads were hand-ing out employeeappreciation checks,Catron began the storyof the top honoree of theday.

Tony Hudson, a wa-ter department employ-ee, was making hisrounds and reading me-ters, when he noticed aman lying beneath atruck, and recognizedhim as someone from hishigh school graduatingclass. Knowing the manwas diabetic, he realizedthis was not a Signal 20(Possible Mental Prob-lem) and called DanielBallinger of the gas de-partment, who was alsoan EMT.

Because of his ac-

tions that day, and be-cause he knew who tocall, Hudson saved theman’s life. For Hudson’squick thinking and hero-ism, Catron called himup to the podium andpresented him with thekey to the City of Madi-son.

The City also recog-nized those who hadserved for five, 15 and 25years.

The five-year em-ployees honored were:Michael Corrie (StreetDepartment); JamesRobinson (SanitationDepartment) and PamPaquette (Parks andCemetery). Jim Stanleywas also recognized forhis five years of servicewith the City Commis-sion.

There was one 15-year employee: CityClerk Lee Anne Hall.

The 25-year employ-ees included: Jack Sear-ly (Purchasing andWarehouse) and StanleyMcCreary (Wastewater).

As the ceremonydrew to a close, ViceMayor Myra Valentineand several other offi-cials added their ownwords of thanks.

“You make Madisonwhat it is,” said Valen-tine. “And we appreciateit.”

Nestle Waters ofNorth America is aboutgiving back to its com-munity, says Lisa Garciaof Ron Sachs Communi-cation. As the newspokesperson for Nestle,she was discussing oneof the company’s mostrecent projects – the do-nation of $17,000 for newplayground equipmentfor Lee ElementarySchool.

Garcia spoke aboutthe project recentlywhen she visited Madi-son County with aFAMU graduate student,who was preparing awater quality project re-port. Garcia wanted toshow her the Nestleplant and let her seefirsthand not only thewater extractionprocess – Nestle’s com-mercial venture – butalso the various ways inwhich the companyworks to care for andprotect the source ofthat water: the environ-

ment that produces it,everything from theland to the trees to therivers.

Nestle not onlybrings about 175 jobs tothe Madison area, sheadded, it also tries to bea good corporate citizen.

For example, every-thing Nestle does at theplant is 95 percent recy-cled, and the plant main-tains a gopher tortoisepreserve on its property.Recently, about 30 Nestleemployees and theirfamilies were part of theannual “Great Suwan-nee Cleanup,” in whichthe Nestle team took ca-noes along the Withla-coochee River, gatheringup over 300 pounds oftrash that day.

Then, there are themore tangible ways inwhich the companygives back, including itslatest effort, the $17,000donation for the newplayground equipment

for Lee Elementary. Butthe giving back doesn’tstop there; once the newequipment arrives, thecompany will againhave a team of volun-teers assembled fromamong its own employ-ees, ready to go to workputting the new equip-ment together and in-stalling it on theschool’s property.

The new pieces ofequipment will fill in awide-open area in theplayground, adding tothe older pieces alreadyin place that werebrought over from theold Lee School. Garciabelieves that the entireproject should be com-

pleted within the nextfew weeks.

Robin Hill, principalof Lee Elementary, saidshe had been told the pro-ject would begin in No-vember, so she expectsthe start-up will be with-in the next few days. “Ibelieve it’s going to be alot of climbing equip-ment,” she said. “Mainlysome monkey bars andsome climbing nets.”

“It’s important forevery good neighbor totake care of the environ-ment and not just beconcerned with the bot-tom line,” said Garcia.“They (Nestle) giveback…and it’s a goodbalance.”

Madison County Ex-tension Agent BeckyBennett was pleasedwith the high level ofparticipation in the firstever 4-H Holiday Bakeoff– nine out of eleven cate-gories had entries – andeven more pleased withthe high quality of thoseentries.

The Bakeoff wasn’ta “traditional” contest,in the sense that the chil-dren were allowed tohave an adult help/su-pervise their baking ef-forts, and all entrieswere judged accordingto whether the level ofquality was blue ribbon,red ribbon, or white rib-bon; each was awarded aribbon accordingly.

“We had mostlyblues,” said Bennett, in-dicating a table full ofblue-ribbon entries.

“And about five or sixreds, and no white.”

However, the judges(all out-of-county) didchoose one top entryfrom each category for aGolden Whisk Award, aswell as one overall topwinner and one runner-up for the Master ChefAward.

The Golden Whiskwinners were: EllieCherry (Cakes); GageWashington (Cookies)Journey Aust (Pies);Conner Waller (threewins – Candies, Breadsand Appetizers); NoahBlanton (Brownies/BarCookies); Emily Minor(Decorated Cakes); andAlexandria Barker (Spe-cialty Items).

The top honor of theevening, the Master ChefAward, went to JourneyAust, 10, for her applepie with the goldenbrown crust sprinkled with red and green deco-

rations. Ten-year-oldGage Washington’s col-orful peppermint pin-wheel cookies werechosen as the overallrunner-up.

The awards werehanded out Mondayevening at the MadisonCounty Extension Of-fice. Even though someof the children were un-able to attend, it was afun, festive occasion forthose present and Ben-nett, pleased with thisyear’s efforts, was al-ready looking ahead tonext year, with manymore 4-H’ers involved inan even bigger 4-H Holi-day Bakeoff for 2012.

is something darkand dangerous lurk-ing under your house— strange lookinglife forms in green,black, rust or gold.They aren’t polter-geists, and you aren’tgoing to call Ghost-busters to get rid ofthem. But if youdon’t deal with them,they will invade yourhome.

Mold in many ex-otic varieties thrivesin the crawlspaces ofmost of the homesbuilt off the groundin Tallahassee’s char-acteristic hot and hu-mid climate.

The reason is sim-ple: The air in acrawlspace is signifi-cantly cooler than thesurrounding air, caus-ing condensation todevelop and creatingjust the right environ-ment for mold to grow.

“The old wisdomof venting a crawl-space has been provenwrong,” said localmold expert JohnHassler, president ofIndoor Environmen-tal Management.“Venting just lets inhot, humid air whereit will cool and con-densate. The onlyway to prevent moldconditions is to sealthe crawlspace anddehumidify it.”

Left untreated,mold in a crawlspacewill create a trio ofproblems, rotting thehome’s sub-floor andcausing structuraldamage, raising ener-gy costs as the home’sair conditioning unitstruggles to dehumid-ify the air cominginto the house, and,creating poor indoorair quality. Since upto 60% of the air with-in an off-grade housecomes up from underthe house, a sickcrawlspace can con-tribute to serious res-piratory problems,including asthma andallergies.

In an advancedcase of mold infiltra-tion, the wood has tobe cleaned, dried andrestored to somethingclose to its originalcondition. Then stepshave to be taken toprevent it from grow-ing back. That in-cludes keeping wetair out with a vaporbarrier, by blockingair vents or installingdehumidifiers.

“Mold is a silentintruder — most peo-ple don’t know theyhave a problem untilit becomes severe,”Hassler said. “Unfor-tunately, most homeinspections don’t ade-quately assess formold so buyers oftenbuy homes with aclean bill of healththat actually havevery sick crawl-spaces.”

While, in somecases, mold can be anexpensive problem tofix, in the long run,neglect is even moreexpensive. Leftunchecked, this kindof excessive moistureand mold can threat-en a house’s veryfoundation and causeserious respiratoryproblems.
