Mr. and Mrs. Eugene and Mary
Etta Lester, operators of an 85-acre
family farm near Hawkinsville,
received the award from the FVSC
Cooperative Extension Program in
recognition of their farming and
community activities and use of
local Extension services to improve
their agricultural operation.

Extension Program Leader for
Agriculture and Natural Resources

The luncheon in the C. W.
Pettigrew Farm and Community
Life Center was part of the day-long

for the City of Perry, was honored
by the General Daniel Stewart

then lived in Virginia for 15 years

Senate Passes Tough DUI Bill
Underage drinkers will find
themselves walking or riding the
bus if a bill unamiously passed by
the Senate on Friday becomes a
law. Senate Bill 674 provides for a
mandatory, on-the-spot, six month
driver's license suspension for a
motorist under the age of 21 who
registers a blood alcohol level of
.02.
Sponsors say the bill is critical
to reducing DUI-related deaths and
injuries among teenagers. The
legislation would not affect the .08
blood alcohol level required to file
charges against an adult, but would
allow authorities to seize the
license of a driver under 21
regardless of how much he or she
had to drink.
"A six-month driver's license
suspension for someone who is
under 21 sends a pretty good
message," said Senator Sonny
Perdue of Bonaire, the bill’s chief

Stewart Chapter. Organized on
January 13, 1914, it was first
named Ochlahatchee. The name
was changed to General Daniel
Stewart on February 18, 1914. The

The bill is one of several tough
DUI measures passed by the Senate
during the 1994 session and reflects
the priority that Senators have
given to cracking down on underage
drinking and driving.
The legislation drew
overwhelming bi-partisan support
with 31 cosponsors. In addition to
Sen. Perdue, cosponsors fo the bill
include Senators: Arthur (Skin)

Reactions to adjustments can differ
How should I feel after an
adjustment?
That's a question first-time
patients often ask me. My answer
is, "that depends."
First I explain that a chiropractic
spinal adjustment is a powerful
procedure: literally hundreds of
bodily functions and activities are
affected. So different people feel
differently.
Here are a few common
reactions:
•Peace and relaxation. This
feeling may last for the rest of the
day or the week. It may lead to a
deep and refreshing sleep.
•Warmth. Other people may feel
a warm, soothing sensation flowing
to various parts of their body.
•Energy. Some of my patients
have felt very energetic and go
through the day's activities with a
light, happy feeling. Nerves
sending impulses or life energy
through the body may give you this
euphoric feeling. It may also occur
as you experience a sudden release
from long-standing stress fixations
in your body.
•Feel better. Others find that
their symptoms begin to lessen
after the first visit. Children
usually have particularly fast
responses to chiropractic
adjustments.
•No change. But some people
feel no different after their
adjustment than before. That
doesn't mean they aren't receiving
any benefits, however. They’re just
not feeling any external reaction.

They may be in such good shape
they don't notice any difference. Or
just the opposite may be true.
Prolonged bad health will take
longer to normalize.
•Slight discomfort. Headaches,
sniffles, slight fever or drowsiness
may be due to detoxification after
an adjustment Be sure to drink
plenty of water during this time to
help your body rid itself of these
toxins. And rest if you need to.
Sometimes pain is caused by
nerves that were impinged for years

flow of nerve impulses over the
spinal cord and nerves is
normalized, the body begins to

for this healing to take place.
But no matter what you feel after
an adjustment, remember, the true
benefits of chiropractic are usually
found below the level of
consciousness. Your heart, lungs,
joints, skins, eyes, ears and the
brain itself will improve.
The goal of chiropractic is
preventative care, a healthier you.
