(2) 2 ~ Friday, February 5, 2021. VIEWPOINTS & OPINIONS Wait A Minute: Passing Parade: Capra could cast Have you Jimmy Stewart as Trump reached maturity?. The Madison Enterprise-Recorder. Maturity is not an age… it's a destination. Being mature is not just becoming a certain age (18, 25, 30, etc.), it is a state of being – it is a journey. Maturity refers to that time when a person has experienced life long enough to not only make adult decisions but become responsible for those choices. As youngsters, we often heard the phrases, "Grow up!" or "Act your age, not your shoe size.", to serve as reminders for us to Bob Bezick stop acting like children, Guest Columnist and become more responsible. Does maturity come with time? Most say yes, but for some, that time never seems to arrive. The maturity question is best answered by none other than Ann Landers, in her famous column, "Ask Ann Landers." I found this response to give the best explanation without giving an exact timeframe. "Signs of Maturity" by Ann Landers, a column response from the 1960's: (reposted in the Toronto Star, Saturday, November 15, 1997. Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence. Maturity is patience. It is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of a longterm gain. Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or situation, in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging setbacks. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse. Maturity is being big enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when right the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so." Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities and then do nothing. Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word and coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are confused and conflicted. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business and good intentions that somehow never materialize. Maturity is the art of living in peace with what we cannot change, the courage to change what should be changed, and the wisdom to know the difference. Now, with all of these guidelines to serve as our checkoff list, can you be deemed mature? I think most will admit, we have room for improvement. So, let's be good role models and improve on our quest to become full grown, emotionally mature adults. Yes, we can become better. Maturity is the reward we can pass on to the generations that follow. Keep in mind, old age is not a guarantee for reaching maturity, and reaching maturity does not mean giving up on being young at heart. So, keep playing and remember to work and play smarter- not harder. Use the wisdom we have accumulated through years and/or experiences and make a difference.. Nelson A. Pryor Guest Columnist. "So you took the bait, and now you’re in the fight of your life!" Gregg Opelka, writing the above captioned article, in the October 18, 2019, Wall Street Journal 13a, explains how Donald J. Trump walked into it. Senator Kamala Harris first noticed the Stewart-Trump analogy. On Trump, she said: "He reminds me of the guy in the 'Wizard of Oz,' When you pull back the curtain, it's a really small dude." Trump's Washington caper is easily explained by the title character in another 1939 classic, Frank Capra's smart political satire, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." Obvious Differences Capra's Jefferson Smith, played by a young James Stewart, is a bumbling but well intentioned, innocent. One who is patriotic, but seen by handlers he didn't know he had, as a useful but malleable rube. An innocent, but unfocused idealistic tool, easily entertained and just as easily dismissed. But President Trump was nobody's stooge, a reputed wheeler-dealer, with an added blustery New York side. Similarities Both Jefferson Smith and Donald Trump went to Washington with no previous experience. When Mr. Smith uncovers graft on the part of his hero senior senator from his state, Smith is thrown to the wolves. The news media tears him apart. His constituents are misinformed as to what is going on. Shining a lantern on political corruption, no one hears him. Then, Mr. Smith is himself accused of corrupt dealing -sound familiar?- by critics who say Mr. Smith's legislation to start a boys' camp will line the senator's own pockets. The allegation is false, but that doesn't stop a throng of senators from hastily calling for Mr. Smith's expulsion from the Senate. Nancy Pelosi may want to view that 80-year-old film again to see how well that worked out.. From the sunny side:. There have been many nights where I stared into the darkness of my room, trying fruitlessly to fall asleep. Unfortunately, there's nothing entertaining keeping me awake – just my mind and my thoughts on an endless loop. I don't get the entertainment of watching what had previously been a pile of laundry on a chair turn into a monster when the lights go out. Instead, I end up in this zone, where I'm not asleep but not necessarily conscious of my surroundings either. With that being said, I went into this zone just the other night, and my eyes fell on a Alyssa Ridenour tiny seashell that my niece had given me years ago, and Columnist for some reason, I had kept. I imagined the seashell in the ocean – drifting through the waves as the waters tossed it around effortlessly. The shell is so tiny, and the ocean is so vast. That was when I came upon a realization. This itty bitty shell, drifting through the massive depths of the ocean, is a lot like Earth, drifting through the endless expanse that is space. If, in comparison to the ocean, that shell was so tiny, then how little would a continent be? How about a country, a state, a city, or just one person? Our nations are but a fleck of discoloration on that shell – a fleck that is barely visible to the naked eye. As for us, we're significantly smaller than a single grain of sand beside that shell. Our planet is so tiny and miniscule compared to the size of the universe, which as far as we know, never ends. The universe is massive, beyond comprehension. The seashell and ocean analogy is likely laughable in comparison to an actual drawn-toscale picture. The truth is that we have no idea how big the universe is or whether or. Disrupter President Trump is a born disrupter. Mr. Smith has disrupter status thrust upon him but comes to relish it, no less. The President rails endlessly about the press's distortion of his record. When Mr. Smith's young Boy Rangers ride bicycles to his rescue, their newspapers-the only ones not on the payroll of corrupt tycoons and politicians-are confiscated. The radio stations are also on the take. The media controls the narrative; the public is kept in the dark. Reminiscent of the President's frequent "I'm not a politician" disclaimer, an all but broken, filibuster-weary Jefferson Smith, acknowledges his outsider status to his fellow senators in a climactic scene: "A guy like me should never be allowed to get in here in the first place." But, he was, and despite all efforts to stop him, so was President Trump. No Push Over Recent U.S. Presidents all considered on the fight for the wall as a lost cause. For the President, it’s his signature issue. As Senator Smith so famously said: "You fight for the lost causes harder than any others." His enemies will shudder at the idea, but in Donald Trump, a tireless fighter against Washington corruption and the complacent status quo, America may have found not its Wizard of Oz but its Frank Capra president.. One step closer to normal. Since last spring, life has felt like it was missing something. I think it has something to do with the way baseball and softball was so rudely interrupted, thanks to that virus that some folks have been talking about. Rick Patrick I know I have said it Columnist before, but I love baseball and softball games. It may have something to do with the fact that when I was younger, I was always much better at baseball than I was at football. That really doesn't say as much about how good I was at baseball as it does about how bad I was at football. I wasn't all that bad at basketball, thanks to usually being one of the tallest kids around. No matter, I have always enjoyed most sports, but I especially loved baseball. I remember many fun Sunday afternoons on the baseball diamond at the old Greenville. Midnight Meditations:. Mr. Smith went to Washington 80 years ago and encountered familiar obstacles. [Courtesy}. High School next to Mama Mae's back yard. One quick climb of the brick fence behind her house and I was right there on the baseball diamond. Even if I didn't always get picked for the team, I always had fun. Those memories quickly come back to mind when I go to a baseball game. Perhaps it's because the weather is beginning to get warmer. Perhaps it's because the weather hasn't gotten so warm that it's uncomfortable to be at the games. Perhaps it's the smell of the grass and red clay. Perhaps it has something to do with the hot dogs. I'm sure it will be at least a little bit emotional for me over the next couple of weeks when I'm finally able to go to a ball game. It will feel like a bit of fresh air after being stuck inside for so long. It will feel a bit like normal. That may be what I'm looking forward to the most. I encourage everyone to catch a baseball or softball game as soon as you can. I'll see you at the ball field, then at the concession stand during the "seventh inning stretch;" one hot dog please, ketchup and pickle relish only.. Be an ant. not life outside of Earth exists. There is an endless list of things we don't know about space or even our own planet, for that matter. Despite mankind being a tiny dot inside a fleck of discoloration, on a shell, beside the ocean, we tend to think we are unstoppable, all-knowing, limitless in our capabilities and in control. Unfortunately, this is not true. These are traits of God, and they are nothing that anyone on this planet could ever hope to achieve. Do not let my analogy bring you down. Don't let it make you feel insignificant, because even the tiniest of things have importance. Let's take ants, for example, and not focus on how tiny we are. Ants are much smaller than us, but their impact is humongous. Ants aerate the soil, which in turn allows water and air to make it to the plants' roots, allowing them to thrive. Remember, we need oxygen to breathe, and our primary source of oxygen is plants. Secondly, ants also feast on the larvae of household pests, such as fleas, bedbugs, flies and roaches. So, what can we conclude from this? Well, because of ants, plants are able to thrive and provide you with food and oxygen. They also work as your personal exterminator, to an extent. Perhaps if there weren't ants, you'd be running for a shoe or fly swatter a lot more frequently than you do. I imagine you're wondering how this has anything to do with how tiny one person is in comparison to the universe. Bear with me for a second. If an ant, which is so much smaller than us, has such an enormous impact on the world, then what kind of impact could we make? Whenever you feel small and insignificant, remember how much smaller ants are, and they're still able to impact us so much. If you find yourself getting down and feeling like you're just one person in a world full of billions, get up and make your impact. Be an ant. Even though you're small, you are not insignificant. You can make a positive impact on the world around you. Focus on what's in front of you, and tackle things one at a time..

She then went to the bathroom and upon returning to the living room, she noticed Mapp and Minor who were believed to have entered from Cont. from page 1 the back door, seated on the couch. Mapp forced the victim into her bedroom while Minor stood watch. Mapp then raped the victim, without the use of protection, and when the act was completed, he cleaned himself off on a nearby towel that would later be collected as evidence. He then tossed the towel down and swapped places with Minor, who then raped the victim as well, while Mapp stood watch. Two relatives, who were also minors, then showed up to the victim's home and knocked on the door repeatedly. After they did not receive an answer, they began walking around the back of the home, where they witnessed Mapp and Minor fleeing in different directions. One of the two relatives then entered the home, and upon her observation of the situation, she went to her mother's house and informed her of the. incident. Madison County Sheriff's Office was immediately notified, and the victim was examined. When law enforcement showed up to arrest Mapp, he claimed, "I wouldn't do nothing like that! I got more respect than to mess with a 12 or 13-year-old." After being taken in, waiving his Miranda rights and agreeing to an audio recorded interview, he admitted to sexual conduct with the underage victim but insisted that it was consensual. Once the interview concluded, Mapp was arrested for sexual battery. On the court docket dated for Tuesday, Jan. 19, the details of Mapp's sentencing are listed. He was convicted of three counts of lewd battery on a child. Notated on the docket is the following information: "admits violation, probation revoked and terminated, 28 years DOC and found to be habitual violent felony offender."

Florida gas prices reach 11-month high news@greenepublishing.com. Florida gas prices jumped another 10 cents last week, reaching an average price of $2.40 per gallon statewide, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), which monitors fuel trends. But even though the state's average was up 20 cents from the start of the year and represented the highest daily average since February 2020, Florida drivers were still paying seven cents less than during the same time a year earlier, according to the AAA. "Gas prices have been dragged higher by crude oil prices, which remain at 11-month highs," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA –The Auto Club Group, adding that the gas price hike had likely hit its ceiling for Florida and seemingly had plateaued. "Despite optimism for the COVID-19 vaccine, crude prices slipped last week due to rising cases of coronavirus in two of the largest fuel consumers in the world: the United States and China," Jenkins said. According to the Energy Information Administration, U.S. crude supplies have increased nearly one percent, at the same time that gasoline production jumped 18 percent and gasoline demand rose almost 10 percent. Counties' retail prices for unleaded gas ranged from $2.296 to $2.523 per gallon across the state on Monday, Jan. 25, with the statewide average at $2.395 per gallon. In Madison County, the average cost of a gallon of gasoline was $2.394 during the same time, while in Jefferson County it was $2.523 and in Leon County it was $2.340.. 2019 Award Winning Newspaper.

I grew up with two brothers, Lewis Alston Manning (we called him Buddy) and Willis Lamar; one sister, Mae; and my Peggy came later after I was married and had two children of my own. Peggy always seemed more like a daughter than a sister to me. I was married to Franklin Carroll on Dec. 24, 1954. We had five beautiful children: Frankie, Rhonda, Brenda and Glenda (the twins) and Jamie. From those five children we had 14 grandchildren, 25 greatgrandchildren and two great-greatgrandchildren, of which there are too many to name. I was married to Franklin for 58 years on Dec. 24, 2012. Then, on Feb. 25, 2013, he joined our daughter, Rhonda, in Heaven. I was also preceded in death by my mama, daddy, my older brother, a half-sister and halfbrother. I was an active member of Sirmans Baptist Church for 40 plus years, but more importantly, I am a member of God's family.

(5) The Madison Enterprise-Recorder. The Bush Wealth Advantage Our column, “The Bush Wealth Advantage,” is our way of giving back to the community with all sorts of insights, relevant news and practical wealth planning strategies.. Will updated I.R.S. tables create an opportunity for retirees? Life expectancy table updated for the first time since 2002. Stacy Bush. If you are retired and have reached your seventies, you may have the opportunity to draw a little less income from your retirement savings accounts in 2022. Next year, the Internal Revenue Service plans to update the life expectancy tables used for the calculation of required minimum distributions, or RMDs – the annual withdrawals you are asked to make from certain kinds of retirement plans. The I.R.S. knows that on the whole, Americans are living longer than they used to, and therefore, their retirement savings need to last longer. In recognition of this, it is revising the tables used to figure RMDs for the first time since 2002. Under the new life expectancy tables, RMD amounts are reduced a bit. Generally speaking, they shrink by several percentage points. For example, if you turn 72 in 2022 and take your first RMD from a traditional IRA (or other qualified retirement plan) by the end of 2022, that RMD will be 6.65 percent smaller than it would be according to the 2021 tables. (You do have the choice to delay. your initial RMD into 2023, though if you do so, you will be asked to take two 2023 RMDs.) To further illustrate this, we will switch over to dollars from percentage points. If you turn 72 in 2022 and decide to take your first RMD from a traditional IRA that has $3,000,000 in it by the end of 2022, your RMD is $109,489 by calculations using the 2022 tables. Using the current tables, that 2022 RMD would be $117,186. Speaking of traditional IRAs, as a reminder, distributions from traditional IRAs must begin once you reach age 72. The money distributed to you is taxed as ordinary income. When such distributions are taken before age 59½, they may be subject to a 10 percent federal income tax penalty. You may keep contributing to a Traditional IRA past age 72, as long as you meet the earned-income requirement. The reduction in RMDs may be a benefit. You might be wondering if you should offset it by withdrawing more than the RMD amount, but there could be a price to pay for that over time; drawing down your retirement savings too much can heighten the risk of outliving your money. Consider the upsides to smaller RMDs. A little more of your retirement money stays in the account, with further potential for tax-deferred growth. As RMDs represent taxable income, a marginally smaller RMD may leave you with slightly less income tax linked to the distribution..

Every mass shooting oveer the last 20 years has one thing inn common In the last Ask The Gun Man, I mentioned that all mass m murders were committed by Democrats. I received MANY responses on this this. One was from a doc doctor, ctor who was quite nice compared to some of the ee mails I received. I sent her a list of what some democrats had done and she told me I was wrong on two of the lists I had sent her. I checked her response and found she was right. For this, I apologize; the truth means everything to me. I had not checked all the information I had received. The following, I assure, are correct. Every mass shooting over the last 20 years have two things in common . . . and it's not guns. Much has been said about the rising epidemic of opioid use and guns how they are destroying lives across America. These painkillers have become too easy to get, either through prescriptions or on the street. The need to address and stop this problem has been made clear, but there is another problem that has been ignored for far too long, and is more destructive than opioids and guns. Every mass shooting over the last 20 years has two things in common... it's not guns, it's psychiatric drugs and democrats. According to multiple sources and research done over many years, the overwhelming evidence is that the largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs and were democrats. In an article reported in Natural News, "multiple credible scientific studies going back more than a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information, show that SSRI drugs (Selective Serotonin ReUptake Inhibitors) have well known, but unreported side effects, including, but not limited to, suicide and other violent behavior." Prozac is one type of these anti-depressant drugs. "Mainstream Media" has documented over 4,500 reported cases from around the world of violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs. There have been at least 36 school shootings and/or school-related acts of violence committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs, resulting in 80 people being killed and 172 wounded. And these are only the cases that I know for sure, as I have verified every word below. There have been many school shootings, but information about their drug use was never made public either confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs. Because of space, I can't name them all, therefore, check out a sampling of the ones I have below. What we do know for certain is that many murders were committed by people that were "medicated" with SSRI drugs and were democrats. The list not only include mass shootings but the use of knives and bombs. 1) Chelsea, Michigan --- Dec. 16, 1993: 39-year-old chemistry teacher Stephen Leith, democrat, facing a disciplinary matter at Chelsea High School, shot Superintendent Joseph Piasecki to death, shot Principal Ron Mead in the leg and slightly wounded journalism teacher Phil Jones. Leith was taking Prozac and had been seeing a psychiatrist. 2) Blackville, South Carolina --- Oct. 12, 1995: 15-year-old Toby R. Sincino, whose parents were staunch democrats, entered the Blackville-Hilda High School's rear entrance, where he shot two BlackvilleHilda High School teachers. Then Toby killed himself. His aunt, Carolyn McCreary, said he had been undergoing counseling with the Department of Mental Health and was taking Zoloft for emotional problems. 3) Springfield, Oregon --- May 21, 1998: 15-year-old Kip Kinkel, whose parents were also very staunch democrats murdered, his parents and then went to school where he opened fire on students in the cafeteria, killing two and wounding 25. Kinkel had been taking the antidepressant Prozac. Kinkel had been attending "anger control classes" and had previously been under the care of a psychologist. 4) Columbine, Colorado --- April 20, 1999: 18-year-old Eric Harris and his accomplice, Dylan Klebold, both parents were registered democrats, killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 26 others before killing themselves. Harris was on the antidepressant Luvox. Klebold's medical records remain sealed as of today Jan. 29, 2021. Both shooters had been in anger-management classes and had undergone counseling. Harris had been seeing a psychiatrist before the shooting. 5) El Cajon, California --- March 22, 2001: 18-year-old Jason Hoffman, a Democrat, on the antidepressants Celexa and Effexor, opened fire on his classmates, wounding three students and two teachers at Granite Hills High School. He had been seeing a psychiatrist before the shooting. 6) Sudbury, Massachusetts --- Jan. 19, 2007: 16-year-old, John Odgren, whose parents were democrats, stabbed another student to death with a large kitchen knife in a boy's bathroom at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. In court, his father testified that his son was prescribed the drug Ritalin. 7) Myrtle Beach, South Carolina --- Sept. 21, 2011: 14-year-old Christian Helmswhose parents were staunch democrats, had two pipe bombs in his backpack, when he shot and wounded Socastee High School's resource (police) officer. The officer was able to stop the student before he could do anything further. Evidence showed that he was planning an attack similar to the Columbine High School shooting. He had been taking drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and depression. There are many more, but you get the idea. While the media and progressive democrats tend to focus only on "gun violence," the real problem goes largely untold. Until we realize that mental illness, overmedication of SSRI drugs, and democrat socialists are the real causes for mass killings in our society, these horrifying events will go on. It's not that all democrats are mass murderers; it's that all democrat socialists have been mass murderers. Don't take my word for it, research it for yourself and see what the facts are. You will find that all but one of those under 18 were receiving Medicaid and Welfare and under medication. -George Pouliotte.

"We decided to have him fight kids who were more experienced than he was, because I knew that he could handle it," said McInally. However, this did not intimidate Thompson. "A lot of students, when they go out there for the first time, they can be hesitant and not as aggressive as they should," said McInally. "Not Brayson.

The pair added Thompson to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at Sticks and Stones Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in Lake City, Fla., in August of 2020. Thompson has made great strides in the art and is taking his training very seriously. He began in the six to 10-year-old class, but after a couple of weeks, his coach, Michael McInally, quickly realized he was too aggressive and moved him to the 10 to 14-year-old group. "We noticed he was too aggressive of a fighter for the six to 10year-old class, so we put him in the 10 to 14-yearold group," said McInally. "We made this decision after just a few weeks of training." He is a third degree white belt.

(7) FARM. The Madison Enterprise-Recorder. Friday, February 5, 2021 ~ 7. Farm Spotlight: Sunny Gale Farms, Inc. Alyssa Ridenour. reporter@greenepublishing.com. Sunny Gale Farms was founded about 20 years ago as a catfish farm, in Greenville, by George and Gale Blevins. The Blevins met through work in St. Petersburg, Fla., many years ago, when Gale was working as a secretary at an engineering company where George was also employed. The pair have been married for 38 years and raised three children together. They now have seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Gale is originally from the midwest, and her husband, George, was a military kid, who spent much of his childhood relocating to different military bases. Neither one of them grew up on a farm, but they had family who did. The Blevins heard that land was cheap in the area and decided to take a trip to Madison County to see what all the hype was about. They found some land and would later spend every weekend coming up to Madison County from St. Petersburg to clear the land. In the beginning, they stayed on the land in a camper, and later, they had a mobile home brought in. After about seven years, Mr. Blevins began building a house, which he did almost entirely on his own. Due to his previous experience as a structural engineer, he knew what he was doing and after about a year and a half, the Blevins had a new home. For about six years, they held band camps on their land, and the Salvation Army sent a group of college kids to help them every summer. Mrs. Blevins was inspired to do this because she was a teacher and noticed a lack of musical influence in the school system. At the time, her husband was also involved with the local volunteer fire department. In 2016, they retired from everything they were doing and went full-time into the farming industry, continuing their catfish farm. About three years ago, the couple transitioned into goat farming. They had always loved goats. and were interested in possibly farming them. However, it was their granddaughter who drove them to make the final decision to dive into it. At the time, she was eight-years-old and in love with goats, and as any grandparents would, they did what they had to for their granddaughter. They began farming goats.. beef and pork. However, people from other countries often view pork as unclean and cows as sacred, due to their religion. This allows the Blevins to meet individuals from all walks of life. They have developed a love for the community and plan to continue serving people for a long time to come. The Blevins can be reached at: (850) 7769751. If you are interested in purchasing a goat, they are highly educated on the subject and can answer nearly any question asked. Sunny Gale Farms, Inc. is located at: 881 SW 1 Federal Rd., in Greenville.. 491 SW Range Ave. Madison, Fla. 32340 (850) 973-2245. George and Gale Blevins are proud of their farm and happily gave a tour of the stables, where their goats go for shelter and meals. [Alyssa Ridenour/Greene Publishing, Inc.]. They now have between 60 and 70 goats, eight cows, one donkey, one horse, five dogs and about 40 chickens. They no longer farm catfish, and their goats serve a few different purposes. They auction them, sell them, breed them and take them to be butchered for meat. Some people buy them as pets. Others buy them for food, and some buy them for farming and breeding. They also sell eggs at the farmer’s market. The Blevins explained that the goat industry is one of the fastest growing agricultural industries. They also mentioned their love for all the people they meet. They have the unique opportunity to build relationships with buyers from many different cultures, especially during certain times of the year. America is a country that eats a lot of.

In February of 2020, Reams returned to the classroom as an English teacher at Madison County High School. She loved this opportunity, because it gave her the ability to do the two things she loved the most: writing and teaching. While in college, Reams found her passion for writing, leading her to earn a degree in English from Valdosta State University in 2014. She always knew she wanted to teach in Madison County, specifically to return the love the community gave to her. She strives to help struggling kids, especially Savannah Reams those who may have problems outside of school. Reams has learned a lot about the community through her time with the newspaper and wanted to do more. In addition to working as a teacher, she has also worked at the Boys and Girls Club to make sure her students continued to thrive outside the classroom. Reams' goal, as a teacher, is to help the kids understand that life goes on outside of high school, and they need to take the initiative and set themselves up for success. She stresses to them the importance of writing skills and self discipline. Reams brings her experience as a journalist to the table and combines it with her love of teaching. She wishes for nothing but success for her students.. Alyssa Ridenour. reporter@greenepublishing.com.

In 1850, Madison Lodge Number 11, F.&A.M. founded the St. Johns Seminary of Learning at 202 North Duval St., in Madison. At its height, the site contained a school and a dormitory. The institute trained many teachers for schools throughout Florida until its closing in 1927. W.B. Gates established the Florida Normal Institute at this location as part of Madison High School in 1907. When the Institute closed, a new high school was constructed where the current Madison County Memorial Hospital is located on Crane Ave. The dormitory was the only remaining portion of the institute, and it served as the offices of TriCounty Electric Cooperative until 1990. The building remained largely vacant until 1999, when fire swept through the offices in the early hours of Saturday, Feb. 13. The cause of the fire was unknown, but arson was suspected.
