Arredondo said he and Commis- sioner Gene Hall had learned of the coming changes at a Department of Community Affairs (DCA) work- shop they attended in May on growth management.. Among the summary of changes that Arredondo provided for com- missioners edification: Beginning Dec. 1, 2007, the capital improvement element (CIE) of the comprehensive plan will re- quire"mannual updating.- Failure' to meet this requirement %%ill present local governments from making amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). By Dec. I, 2008, all counties and municipalities ( ith the excep- tion of a few that will be allowed waivers) must have a public schools element in place. Local governments that fail to adopt the public schools element will be prohibited from adopting comprehensive plan amendments that increase residential density, up- date interlocal agreements, or amend the plan to implement school concurrency. The legislation provides sanctions for school boards that fail to adopt the interlocal agreement or imple- ment provisions relating to school concurrency. Under the concurrency element, school capacity must be in place or under actual construction within three years after final subdivision or approval of site plans. Initially, school capacity must be available on a district-wide basis. Within five years of adoption of school concurrency, however, it must be available on a less than district-wide basis. Additionally, adequate water supplies must be available at the time of the development, or no later than issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Park space must be available at the time of development, or no later than commencement of construction. Finally, transportation facilities must be in place or under actual construction within three years of is- suance of a building permit that re- sults in traffic generation. In the area of regulatory incen- tives, the legislation exempts from state and regional agency review those map amendments that are within the urban service boundary, provided local governments have adopted a community vision and ur- ban service boundary. The excep- tion to the exemption are areas of critical state concern or coastal high hazard areas. The provision likewise exempts from state and regional agency re- view those map amendments of cit- ies with a designated urban infill and redevelopment area. The excep- tion to the exemption is again areas of critical state concern or coastal (See New Rules Page 10) Earlier Rain, Breeze Brought Cooler Air FESTIVAL ROYALTY wave to the crowd dur- ing the Parade: Royalty includes: Alana Chambers, queen; Charlsie Boyatt, 1st runner-up; Lindsey Scott, 2nd runner-up; Ramsey Revell, princess; Kaitlin Jackson, 1st runner-up; Tori Thor, 2nd runner-up; Carley Joiner, little queen; Donnie Kinsey, little king. '15 - STEVE ANDRIS, Parade Grand Marshal, points to a friend in the crowd as he rides in the 55th Watermelon Festival Parade Satur- day morning. .... : ... "% k a n- . ,1: .4. FRAN HUNT Staff Writer The 55th Watermelon Festival drew the largest crowd in recent memory, as throngs filled the city, enjoying the variety of events on- going. A festive mood permeated the at- mosphere, and a slight breeze helped make the heat less intense than in other years. CO-chair Mary Frances Drawdy said that in addition to a larger crowd this year, "they also stayed later too." "Last year we saw a wonderful crowd and this year was better. The little bit of rain we had was just enough to cool it off, so it was- n't too hot or miserable." Crowds lined the streets, ready- ing for the parade, which began as scheduled at the stroke of 10 a.m.. Sirens blared from the many law enforcement vehicles, fire trucks from departments all over the county, and ambulances. Leading the parade was Parade Grand Marshall Steve Andris fol- lowed by the Marine Corps March- ing Band, which thrilled spectators with its strong beat and cadence. Applause erupted on all sides when the band passed marching and playing. There were many floats in the pa- rade, and the Watermelon Queen and her court, with the Watermelon Princess and her court drew much applause. Each of the young ladies dawned were beautifully gowned and wore their brightest smiles for the crowds. Each of the floats played music of the 50's, to the delight of all. As the many participants traveled through the streets, children were delighted with the number of treats thrown into the crowd, including candy, beaded necklaces, small Frisbees and foam footballs. The Health Department handed out health related items as tooth- brushes, pedometers and the like. At the conclusion of the parade, spectators walked the streets, mov- ing through the assorted attractions, the vendors 'booths, and the Car Show at FMB. Music from the 50's was played at the show, and one couple, Curt Masak and Ruth Didief, thrilled those at the car show when they be- gan performing dances of the times complete with all the right moves in the FMB parking lot. One could barely maneuver through the streets where the ven- dors were set up, so thick were the crowds: - Vendors booths were packed tightly along the side streets, fea- turing items from mass produced toys to handmade arts and crafts, from iguanas to turtles and from jewelry to collectibles. The food court was just as busy, offering everything from the tradi- tional watermelon slices to alligator kabobs, from barbecue ribs to corn on the cob, from elephant ears to ice cream and from popcorn to pizza. Spectators gathered observing the many platform events, and children enjoyed activities such as face painting, games and traditional fa- vorites such as the Bubble Bounce. As the morning slid into after- noon, festivities continued, with the crowds seemingly as dense as they were earlier in the day. Attendees seemed reluctant to call it a day. Courthouse Will Enhance Security LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer LINE DANCING to Festival Sock Hop the 1950's music at the Friday night in the JCHS COOKING CORN Friday afternoon for the Rotary Barbecue are from left, Ron Cichon, and Bobby Plaines. Rotarians are said to Cafeteria, are front to back: Jackie Clem- mons, Sukie Chambers, and Earl Cochran. have the best barbecue in town. (N tos) Look for changes in the court- house, in the form of added security measures. At the request of Second Circuit Court Chief Judge Charles Francis, commissioners have agreed to ex- pend $16,000 to erect a wall in the corridor where the metal detector presently sits. The wall will have a door that the judges will be able to open and close via remote control from their chambers. Persons wishing to access the courtroom or the judges' cham- - bers will have to telephone the par- ticular judge's office to be allowed in. At the same time, the west door of -'" the courthouse will be permanently locked, and everyone entering the courthouse will be screened for weapons. .. The changes, in effect, will bar the public from accessing the western section of the courthouse at will. It ews Pho- will also provide a secured corridor for correctional officers bringing jail inmates into the courtroom. The alternative, according to corn- missioners, would be to hire a full- time deputy -- something they say the county can't afford. "We felt this was the cheaper way to go," Commission Chairman Skeet Joyner said in explanation of the board's decision. Clerk of Court Dale Boatwright pointed out Monday that $14,000 of the $16,000 would be a one-time ex- penditure, with $2,000 a recurring expenditure. Compare that with the recurring cost of maintaining a full- time deputy, he said. He said the changes have been a long time in coming. In fact, ever since Francis took over as chief jus- tice, the latter has been pushing for more security, Boatwright said. He allowed that the recent court- house shootings in Georgia and Texas had played a part in the con- siderations. But the latter incidents had in no way prompted the consid- erations, he said. "We have been discussing this is- sue for over two years now," Boat- wright said. "The lack of security has been a long-standing problem, especially in small towns with old courthouses. With four entrances, it's impossible to monitor the people coming in." ir, eF_ L ------------------- MARINE MARCHING BAND performed a urday, during the platform events.

Howard Academy Graduates Celebrate 50th Reunion FRAN HUNT Staff Writer Approximate 40 graduates of the- Howard Academy class of 1955, attended their 50th class reunion recently to celebrate the 'gold, anniversary and the old academy campus, now the Boys and Girls Club. The motto of the graduates was proudly displayed on the program: "Good, better, best! Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better best." The celebration was enjoyed by graduates from* Monticello, other points in Florida, Georgia, New York and Chicago. Coordinator Johnnie Mae Seabrooks-Abrams, said the three days of celebration was a very memorable occasion with much reminiscing, reflecting and catching up on years past with their - lives events over the last 50 years. The banquet was held at Diane's Place and the featured speaker was 1955 class Valedictorian Lorraine Seabrooks-Vaught of Miami. "The presence of two of our teachers, Hazel Fitz of Tallahassee and Emma Stokes of Monticello, along with a delicious meal prepared by Diane and staff, was out of sight," said Seabrooks-Abrams. Attendees enjoyed a meal of good old fashioned soul food with everything from collard greens to fresh green beans, baked and fried chicken, salad, macaroni and May Rainfall Below Average For Month RAY CICHON Managing Editor Rainfall for the County in May was at 2.60 inches, above last year's 2.24 inches, but yet below the County average of 3.94 inches in May.

Davis explains that no one makes any money on this venture, as all items must be given away, and can- not be sold or traded. All are encouraged to freecycle their unwanted items, rather than tossing them away. All participants, including Davis, are volunteers. Davis notes that Freecycle is not a receiving warehouse. There is no physical location where people can leave unwanted items. Anyone who is interested in the program subscribes to the online CHECK YOUR HOT SPOTS! / Remember...

(News Photos) Festival Sock Hop, in the JCHS Cafeteria, Festival So Considered DJ JOE LAND, with shades, and hot pink shirt, provided the music for the Sock Hop, assisted by Krista McManus, with pony tail, glasses fashionable in the '50's, poodle skirt and ankle socks. Commodity Distribution Explanation Scheduled To explain changes in the surplus commodities distribution program, Interim Grants Director Larry Halsey has scheduled two sessions at the Extension Office, one at 4 p.m., and another at 6 p.m., Thurs- day, June 23. At the sessions, Angela Sowards, Denise Griewisch, and Andy Win- dosor of Second Harvest will ex- plain how their agency works in the Big Bend Region, and answer ques- tions. Halsey explained that while in the past, the County Grants Office dis- tributed USDA surplus commodities to some 350 to 400 households monthly or every other month, last year the Florida Department of Ag- riculture changed the program. Second Harvest of Big Bend has been assigned emergency food dis- tribution, which includes USDA- commodities, and food from private sources, such as farmers and grocers. "We don't want anyone to lose ac- cess to food assistance, and we hope the program expands to include more people. "We hope to find 8-10 groups that will take on smaller programs close to home for people in need," Halsey stated. Churches and non-profit commu- nity groups are encouraged to set up food pantries. Groups that already distribute Sec- ond Harvest foods are encouraged to expand their programs. Most Second Harvest programs draw on volunteers, Halsey ex- plained. Halsey encourages anyone who cannot attend the sessions, to call him if they have questions, at 342- 0187.

Kids of all ages love to seek out the nearest roller coaster or wave pool and spend hours exploring the thrills and excitement these parks have to offer. According to the International As- sociation of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), this year will excite fun seekers with the opening of new attractions. These include: Anchor Bay Lake Compunce (Bristol, Connecticut), the nation's oldest amusement park, is adding a relaxing and cooling retreat with its new 800-foot-long lazy river. Disco H20 This retro-raft ride will have visitors thinking they took a trip back in time at Wet 'n Wild (Orlando, Florida). Fear Factor Live A spin-off show of NBC's wildly popular tele- vision, reality show, this exhibit lets visitors test their strength and cour- age at Universal Studios (Orlando, Florida and Universal City, Califor- nia). Hades The world's longest un- derground roller coaster drops into darkness and bursts out on the other side of Mount Olympus Water & Theme Park (Wisconsin Dells, Wis- consin). Kingda Ka Six Flags Great Ad- venture (Jackson, New-Jersey) tops all other parks with the installation of the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, which goes from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds and 456 feet in the air. SheiKra The first dive coaster in North America features an under- ground tunnel and water-feature fi- nale at Busch Gardens (Tampa Bay, Florida). Soarin' Epcot Center, Walt Disney World (Orlando, Florida). Riders glide over a picturesque movie sequence of breathtaking vis- tas of Yosemite and redwood forests. To ease your planning time, IAAPA has named www.ticketforfun.com the official resource for amusement parks world wide. At www.ticketforfun.com, visitors have access to a comprehen- sive directory of amusement parks and attractions from around the world. Dress comfortably but avoid open-toed shoes and dangling cloth- ing or jewelry. Protect yourself with sunscreen and a hat, even on cloudy days. Upon arriving at the park, desig- nate a place to meet immediately if anyone is separated from your party. Also implement the buddy system so no one in your party is left alone. Observe all posted rules and fol- low the verbal instructions given by ride operators. Obey listed age, height, weight and health restrictions. Keep hands, arms, legs, and feet inside the ride at all times and re- main in the ride until it comes to a complete stop and you are instructed to exit the ride. Always use the safety equipment provided and do not attempt to wrig- gle free of these restraints. For water parks, dress appropri- ately, including water shoes, a hat and loose shirt for when you've had enough sun. Apply waterproof sunscreen be- fore leaving home (reapply through- out the day) and drink plenty of fluids. Make sure non-swimmers and weak swimmers have a life vest. Bring your own if you are unsure of availability and fit. Children in diapers should be dressed in swim diapers to minimize leakage. Read the sign at every water park ride and obey its rules and ex- perience level guidelines. Designate a meeting place in the instance someone is separated from your party and use the buddy system (NAPS).

(News File Photo) Opinion & Comment Bathroom Scale Saga Is Over Our bathroom scale has become. unkind to me. Maybe you never had that problem, but it's a bummer! Starve, exercise, sweat and what do you get? A scale that says you gained two pounds! This is unconstitutional, I explain! My wife chuckles. Of course, when the scale turns on her I say nothing. It is not a good idea for a husband to comment on his wife's weight gain. It is a very good idea, however to comment on a wife's weight loss. This is the Cichon axiom and you, read it here. When Pat is two pounds over her desired weight, she declares she is huge and must go into diet mode' immediately. As indicated above, I say nothing. I do talk to the scale, though. When it turns on me I object. I ques- tion its accuracy. I complain about its inconsistency. For example, the other morning I weighed before my shower and was quite pleased with the verdict. - After the shower, I stepped on the Publisher's Notebook ....... " ,~ - Ron Cc/i on scale in my birthday suit, expecting another dose of feel good, when it determined I had gained two pounds in the shower. As I ranted about the scale, Pat suggested I shower with my mouth closed because I'm taking on too much water. This saga has been going on for some time and things have gone from bad to worse. Not too many months ago the scale was pretty accurate because it jibed with the scale in my doctor's office. And, you know, the scale in the doctor's office is always (?) ac- curate. Lately the readings have been very inconsistent and, I believe, inaccu- rate. In self defense, you have to be- lieve the scale is inaccurate when it gives readings that don't please you. What else can you do? The scale and I squared off Wednesday for our morning ritual. An amazing thing happened. Ac- cording to the scale, I lost 107 pounds. Hot dog, now we're getting someplace! . I quickly reasoned I have been losing weight right along and the scale is now atoning for its sins. So, I stepped back on the scale, chortling a bit I admit, and guess what, I weigh 88 pounds. Let's see what it says after the shower, I thought. Shower over, I'm back on the scale and I still weigh 88 pounds. I guess I didn't take on too much water! I was on a temporary high. It was kind of like the time in Miami when I deposited $200 in my checking ac- count and the teller gave me a re- ceipt for $100,000. I knew I didn't have $100,000 in my checking account, but I got a temporary high with that deposit slip tucked in my pocket. I said nothing to Pat about the scale malfunctioning expecting her to get some kind of high out of her reading. Things didn't work out that way. She weighed and said, "Scale's broke." I said I feel a column coming on. She said, "Good, I'll send it to my sister 'cause she gave me that scale. Letters... Resident Gives Her View On Humane Society Events Dear Editor: Your readers must be enjoying the recent letters in this paper for their entertainment value. One of the last articles read like something out of "National Geor- graphic," with words like "cannibal- izing," "malicious attacks," "sabotage," and "sour grapes." I won't deny that I have had is- sues with the Jefferson County Hu- mane Society, Inc. (JCHSI) Board since the meeting of April 2004.. The meeting was held to discuss initial negotiations of intent to merge with Extended Circle Ani- mal Haven (ECAH.) Previous meetings held for mem- bers to suggest alternatives to the merger, which could save JCHSI, proved unsuccessful. Our Board of Directors had al- ready offered to step down if the community would not approve the merger. The demonstrative group of citi- zens had no reason to become "con- tentious" and "oust" our Board members and the representatives from ECAH. I did not approach the new Board until September when I read Wendy Moss' letter of resignation. Among the reasons she stated for resigning was "the failure of several Board members to honor their pledge to function as a professional business, operate with good man- agement policies, and serve with honesty and integrity." She did not mention "frustration." I attended three meetings and had serious concerns about the Board's operating procedures. Ms. Moss' leadership had brought JCHSI the best organizational struc- ture it had ever enjoyed, but it was obvious that if some of those she left behind continued to operate in this fashion, they would place the 501 (c) 3 status of JCHSI at risk. The tax benefits of good faith do- nors who graciously give to JCHS would also be placed at risk. In October, I provided helpful in formation, requested records any general member is entitled to review by State Statute, asked for clarifica- tion of Board decisions, and sug- gested alternatives. In late November, when they re- fused to respond, Ms. Moss and I combined our efforts and set a date of Dec. 8 to meet with a Board member to review the records at the shelter. On the evening of Dec. 7, while attending a City Council meeting on animal control, someone from the Humane Society had delivered a let- ter of expulsion to my home and left a letter denying membership rights at Ms. Moss' residence. The JCHSI Board may claim they follow Roberts Rules of Order and Florida State Statutes, but some peo- ple understand them as well as a for- eign film without subtitles. The letter of expulsion the Board sent me is full of misinterpretations. As stated, they charged me with the "illegal, secret taping" of an "open public meeting." (See Resident's View Page 10) Citizen Determined To Get Help With Sewer Gas Issue Dear Editor: My thanks to Senior Staff Writer, Lazaro Aleman, for the competent coverage he gave my presentation on Sewer Gas to the Monticello City Council during its June 7th meeting. Sewer Gas problems have been with us for a long time. Air Quality and Environmental Technology which can detect and analyze the contents of Sewer Gas are relatively new and expensive. Consequently, Jefferson County and the City of Monticello still use the old fashioned system: "Take a deep breath. If you smell it, you may have it. If you can't smell it, you ain't (sic) got it." The City of Monticello and I are at a stalemate over who has the prime responsibility to detect the source of Sewer Gas and correct the problem, the City, or the property owner. In my complaint to the City, its position is clear: "They have done all they know to do." Does this dogmatic approach by the City automatically shift the re- sponsibility to the property owner? I think not! To assist the City in locating and correcting sewer problems, which I consider to be widespread in the City, I contacted the US Environ- mental Protection Agency and asked for its help. They have assigned a representa- tive to address this problem. I have written a request to the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and asked them to use their technology and expertise to conduct a study in my neighborhood, such as the one they conducted in Scottsdale, AZ. I have talked with the county Health Department and suggested they obtain a Sewer Gas analyzing device for the County. li: the future, I may ask for help from the US Center for Disease Control. By nature I am not a crusader. I wonder why I conduct research and am contacting organizations which can help the citizens of Jefferson County cope with this serious health hazard. Isn't government suppose to per- form this type of work for its citi- zens?

IAVEJ,. i~a V.,.,. -- if Festival Luncheon, Fashion Show Event Sold Out DEBBIE SNAPP Staff Writer The Monticello Woman's Club presented its annual Luncheon and Fashion Show, noon Thursday, at the Opera House. Ladies' fashions were presented by Barbara Hughes of Milady's Shop. Heather Collins was the emcee for the event, introducing local models, dressed in the latest in summer fash- ions and evening wear. Models included: Christi Beshears, Mary Frances Drawdy, Mary Ellen Given, Eleanor Hawk- ins, Kay Martin, Monica Roberts, and Katrina Walton. Garments were accessorize with matching hats, handbags and totes, jewelry, and foot wear. Some outfits included a matching sweater, jacket, or poncho. The event was a sell out, with 145 numbered tickets selling at $12 each, sold before the event, by members of. the Club, Milady's Shop, and at the Monticello/Jeffer- son Chamber of Commerce. The luncheon meal was prepared and served by members of the club. Club member Jan Wadsworth baked 29 loaves of zucchini bread, always a hit at the luncheon. The bread complemented a heap- ing serving of large chunked -chicken salad and sides of fresh fruits, including a variety of melons, and a homemade cranberry con- gealed salad was also served with the meal. Helping with the food prepara- tions, under the leadership of Club President Amanda Ouzts were: Emily Taylor, Louise Chitwood, Linda Beard, Betty Bard, Wad- sworth, Edith Adams and her sister. Dessert was a variety of home- - made cakes and baked goods pre- pared by members. Helping to serve the meal were youth from the Monticello First Baptist Church. These included:.Rebekah Aman, Mallory Crum, Stephany Fountain, Ivy Galloway, Rachel Harris, and Katherine Hope. The young ladies also helped with the handing out the 20 plus door prizes to winning ticket holders. Donating prizes were: Jan Wad- sworth; Farmers & Merchants Bank; Tommy Surles, State Farm Insur- ance; Jefferson Builders Mart & Hardware; Monticello Florist & Gifts; Great Adventure Outfitters. Marty Bishop donated fresh can- taloupe for the fruit salad. This year's Watermelon Queen Al- ana Chambers and her Court, Charl- sie Boyatt and Lindsey Scott, were in attendance along with the 2005 Festival Princess Ramsey Revell. Some 51 Red Hat ladies were in attendance and wearing their acces- sorize red hats and purple outfits. Two of those 51 ladies wore their hats of pink and outfits of lavender, as women too young to be Red Hats, and one was celebrating her birthday so, she was garbed in red and wearing a hat of purple, attire for one's birth month of the Red Hat -Ladies. The Red Hat members came from groups from the surrounding areas of Tallahassee, Perry, Madison. They were eager to shop at Mi- lady's immediately following the -- luncheon, and Hughes accommopa- nied them to the shop. HAWKINS DRAWDY .4 BESEARS GIVEN WALTON 'Red Vs. Wolf' Well Attended The Opera House Stage Com- pany's Children's Play, "Red vs the.- Wolf," was performed Saturday dur- ing the Watermelon Festival. The play re-tells the story of Lit- tle Red Riding Hood, but from the wolf s point of view. The wolf is upset because he is known as a bad guy, but he is really kind, sensitive, thoughtful, and cul- tured. After refreshing the audience's memory regarding the traditional rendition of Red Riding Hood, the wolf tells it like it really happened. He shows the true Red, and re- veals his plan with Grandma to teach Red a badly needed lesson. He hopes that the audience would see his side of the story, and realize there are two sides to every story,_ Saturday and learn a lesson in humility and understanding. The cast included Samantha Ham- ilton, as Red Riding Hood and the Stage Manager; Micah Nisbickel, as Wolf; Thea Delaney, as Grandma; Samantha Jones, as Red's Mother; Adriane Hamilton, as the Deer; Amanda Price, as the Rabbit; Ran- dee Lee Bilyou; as the Skunk; Corey Jones, as the Butterfly; and Bimie Godbolt, as the Woodcutter. The set was designed by Bimie Godbolt, with Costumes by Cindy Jones, and Lighting by J. Jones. The two showings were well at- tended by both children and adults. The play was produced by the Monticello Opera House and Di- rected by Linda Hamedani, director of the Jefferson County Public Li- - brary. .1' * t,.*..

Robert's Rules suggest expulsion only as a last resort, in a case of se- rious infraction by a member out- side of a meeting. The JCHSI Board's actions were extreme and inappropriate. SMr. Sutphin can speak for himself regarding procedures of the County Commission meetings. The Board votes unanimously to remove a commissioner from the JCHSI Board with support from community representatives. Mr. Sutphin was implicated in a unanimous decision made at a spe- cial JCHSI Board meeting on May 16. He was asked if he was notified of the, special meeting in accordance with State Statute 617.0822; if he at- tended the meeting; and if he par- ticipated in the supposedly unanimous vote which cited no ab- sentees nor abstentions. He answered that he was out of town on the 16th; he was not noti- fied; and he did not vote. The record now shows the Board of the JCHSI was in violation of the State Statutes, not to mention the disregard shown to Mr. Sutphin. Sincerely, Betsy J.

PAGE 12, MONTICELLO, (FL), NEWS, WED., JUNE 22, 2005 Rotary Barbecue Serves 500 Patrons FRAN HUNT Staff Writer While the tally is not yet complete, for the Rotary Barbecue, treasurer Fred Golden estimated that 425 to nearly 500 meals were served, compared to the 700 served last year. James Muchovej said that elec- tion years tend to show more sales for the Rotary and that sales fluctu- ate from year to year. "We expect it to be even bigger next year," he added. This was the first year for an out- side pickup and Golden said that worked very well. "We wanted to try to shorten the lines inside," he added. Approximately 100 meals were picked up outside. "Everyone I talked to says Rotary makes the best barbecue," said Golden. After expenses, approximately $2,000-$2,500 was raised. Approximately 20 members worked very hard to make the bar- becue a success. Twenty-five percent of the pro- ceeds will be donated to the Cham- ber of Commerce and the remainder of the proceeds will go toward local projects. 3 AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION MEMORIALS &TRIBUTES SERVED a Barbecue Meal by Rotary Serving the line are:' L-R: Liz Beaty, Mike Line are at left, Donald Carter, of Albany, Humphrey, Mary Frances Drawdy, and Ron GA and Mildred Davis, of Pelham, GA.

When you have a chronic illness, there are steps you can take to support your health care team, and help them do their very best for you. Ask questions. There's no faster way to understand your symptoms, your treatment, your dos and don't. Remember, your doctor, nurses, and therapists all work for you. They're there to listen and answer your questions. Educate yourself. Read up on your illness and your medicines. Yourilibrary and the Internet are great sources. Smart patients stop acting like patients- and become partners in their health care treatment. Network with others. Whatever your illness, there are others out there, just like you. In fact, it's assured there's a national agency to help people with your condition. Groups like the National Osteoporosis Foundation and the American Cancer Society can put you in touch with people who know what you're going through. Ask your providers who to call. It's your health. You call the shots.
