Kiwanis Club Poised To “Light Up Madison”

November 13, 2012 Around Madison Comments Off

Submitted by Jerome Wyche

If you and your family are thirsty for a Christmas environment with everything that you can imagine, combining an old and new fashioned celebration, then hold on to your seats and get ready!  The Kiwanis Club of Madison is poised to “Light up Madison” in a way that will be remembered by all for a time to come.  This will be the second year that the Kiwanis Club has assumed the responsibility of hosting this event that promises to be bigger than it was last year.  There is so much family excitement planned for Dec. 1, 2012, it is literally hard to wait for the few days to pass until it’s here.  The “Light Up Madison” event will begin at 4:30 p.m. and conclude at approximately 8 p.m. Project Chairperson Willy Gamalero and members of the Light Up Madison Committee began planning for this special event as early as May of this year.  The purpose of the event is to afford families the chance to come out and enjoy an exciting Christmas gala without the worry of overspending, as well as recognizing the reason for the season. Because of the success from the previous year, this event has received unbelievable inquiries from citizens from surrounding counties that are anxious and waiting to attend. The committee has secured approval from the Department of Transportation to block off traffic on Highway 90 for the Christmas Parade, sponsored by Lake Park of Madison.  There will be prizes for the best entries as judged by a committee of Kiwanians.  As in the past, there will be over 30 custom decorated Christmas trees donated by Madison County Community Bank, with their own personalities, to be lit in a timely fashion adding to the ambience.  There will be a one mile Jingle Jog, sponsored by the Junior Auxiliary, opened to all joggers.  In order to secure a spot in the Jingle Jog, bring a jar of peanut butter and jelly, or a children’s book, or make a $5.00 donation for the cause.  To be eligible for the “Big Prize Drawing,” you will also asked to bring a jar of peanut butter and jelly, a children’s book, or $5.00 for your chance to win.  The peanut butter and jelly that is collected will be donated to a local food bank to feed the needy.The children’s books will be donated to the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend.  In view of one of the goals of the District President of the Florida Kiwanis, the peanut butter and jelly will help feed the body; the children’s books will help feed the mind.  Becky’s Dance Steps Studio promises to electrify the event with its “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree Dance Program.”  Families may choose to lounge on the courthouse lawn and watch Christmas movies, sponsored by the Tent Builders of Madison, or take and old fashioned hay ride, sponsored by Gordon Tractor and Kenny McLeod.  Choirs from various community churches will belt out Christmas songs along with other offerings of entertainment.  Jolly ol’ Santa and Mrs. Claus will be waiting at the Four Freedoms Park Gazebo to take memorable photographs in Winter Wonderland, sponsored by Tudor Rose Photography and Odiorne Insurance.  Food vendors will be available to offer their treats of chicken and rice, hot dogs and hamburgers, cotton candy and other tasty morsels.  All of the local businesses and food outlets will be open for your shopping conveniences.  After the children have exhausted themselves in the bounce houses, watched movies on the courthouse lawn and experienced the real meaning of Christmas, some lucky ticket holder will win a “Power Wheels Vehicle” at the drawing to take place at the main tent of the Kiwanis Club of Madison at 8:00 PM.  The Kiwanis Club of Madison will also be taking orders for its annual Citrus Sale to raise funds to award scholarships to our community youths.  Any interested citizen that would like to donate a jar of peanut butter and jelly, or donate a children’s book are encouraged to do so.  If you have a sincere interest to serve our communities, Kiwanis membership is open to you. Your voluntary participation will help underscore the defining statement of Kiwanis International; “Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time.” Come early, bring your lawn chairs and secure your favorite spot.  This is one event that you will not want to miss.  See you there!

Presidential Election Shows Heartwarming Success In Marriage

November 13, 2012 Letters To The Editor Comments Off

Our presidential candidates starred in a sometimes vicious, factually distorted, too long campaign which obscured a heartwarming example of life in our country today:  success in  marriage.  Two dedicated men, so goal-oriented that each achieved a pinnacle of success in his chosen field, reveal a parallel in lifetime choice for marriage.  Each chose a woman to cherish and to complete life for him.  Romney knew when he was eighteen and she was fifteen.  Two and a half years’s separation did not diminish their deep understanding. Obama knew during his internship for law school that his directing lawyer was essential to complete his life.  He returned to Chicago to achieve professional goals and present a winning case for marriage to his former directing lawyer. Each of these high level achievers had some challenges to totally happy married life (Mrs. Romney developed chronic severe illness; Mrs. Obama’s private life changed to public, political life).  The integrity of the husbands and the wives stand out among today’s media chronicles of infidelity and scandalous behavior by political leaders and entertainment celebrities. Regardless of our political affiliation, we can applaud national leaders who live married life with commitment and loyalty to each other, as do most people we meet every day.  Media broadcast the sensational, permeating our lives, picturing us as much less than we are.  In reality, we are a people living by ethical standards, keeping our commitments and responding to opportunities with ingenuity and hard work.  These national political couples are excellent reminders of these facts.  Marianne Green

Rev. Ben Pfeil Passes Away

November 12, 2012 Obituaries Comments Off

Rev. Benjamin O. Pfeil, resident of Madison, a native of Catskill, N.Y., passed away November 10, 2012, at the Madison County Memorial Hospital. He was 88.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, November 14, 2012, at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 140 NE Horry Avenue, Madison. Graveside services will follow at Ebenezer Cemetery in the Hamburg Community of Madison County. The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday evening at Beggs Funeral Home, 235 NW Orange Avenue, Madison.
Rev. Pfeil was born in Cementon, N.Y., and grew up in Catskill, the oldest of four children born to the late Benjamin and Anna Doyle Pfeil. He was a graduate of Catskill High School. After graduation, he volunteered for enlistment in the U.S. Navy in May 1942. While serving his country during World War II, he was a flight engineer for the B26 and PBY aircraft, flying missions at Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal and Guam. During his last years in the military, he was also stationed at the NAS, Jacksonville; NAS Corpus Christi; NAAS at Shelton, Wash.; and NAS at Pensacola. While stationed at NAS Jacksonville, he met Mary Jane Smith of Madison, and they were wed November 19, 1944. He was honorably discharged in March 1948.
After Rev. Pfeil’s tour of duty in the Navy, he, his wife, and infant son, Bill, moved to Madison, where he was employed with Fraleigh Ashley Tractor Company and Western Auto. In the early 1950’s, he started his own television sales and repair business known as Ben’s TV. He retired from this occupation in the late 1980’s.
While growing up in New York, Rev. Pfeil was active in the Boy Scouts and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. After moving to Madison, his interest in the work continued and he became a scoutmaster for Madison, serving as a positive role model for the many members of his troop.
At a young age, while attending worship services at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Catskill, Rev. Pfeil felt God calling him into the ministry. His desire to become an Episcopal priest was not fulfilled until many years later. Finally, in 1992, he was ordained and became priest of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, where he faithfully served as vicar until his health failed in early 2012. Father Ben, as he was affectionately called by his parishioners, was always so happy to welcome new members into the church. Among those whom he baptized were his great-grandson, Cole Pfeil, and great-niece, Taylor Smith. At the time of his death, he was the longest standing vicar of St. Mary’s Church and its oldest member.
Rev. Pfeil was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Mary Jane; his father and mother, Benjamin James and Anna Doyle Pfeil; and one brother, Ralph Pfeil. Surviving relatives include his son and daughter-in-law, Bill and Mary Lu Pfeil of Madison; one grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Jake and Cheryl Pfeil of Tallahassee; one great grandson, Cole Pfeil, of Tallahassee; one sister and brother-in-law, Joyce and Truman June of Catskill, N.Y.; one brother and sister-in-law, Mahlon and Gayle Pfeil of Saugerties, N.Y.; three sisters-in-law, Elizabeth Davis and her husband, Shelton, of Perry, Catherine Hodges of Madison, and Johnnie Ruth Smith of Live Oak; and a host of loving nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Mary’s Episcopal Church or the Wounded Warrior Project.

Scam Alert

November 1, 2012 Crime, Front Page Comments Off

By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
A reader emailed this writer and told him of a scam call he had received.
The reader related that he had received a call from 409-291-5191. The person calling him claimed to be seeking information to send a new Medicare card and demanded the name of his bank. He claimed he was only verifying the records for Medicare.
The reader noted that the caller could have easily have found the routing number for the bank through a Google search and then would have requested he give him the account number.
A search for the number on Google revealed that it is a Beaumont, Tex., phone number and it has been used in a number of scams, most notably using Medicare and Medicaid cards. Some of the people have commented on their posts that the person has a very heavy accent, perhaps an Indian accent.
Be alert and do not give any banking information or credit card numbers over the phone unless it is a call that you have made to pay for something or to order something. Beware if anyone calls you requesting such information.
