Lafayette County participates in Farm.City Week festivities Ira Mikell Free Press Reporter Agriculture is one of the largest contributors to our local economy. In our county we have a variety of farming ventures in Hatch Bend, Alton. Mayo, and Day. There are dairy farms, poultry farms, foresters and loggers, and pine-straw gatherers and balers, just to name a few. These businesses, many of them family-owned and operated, not only bring a constant source of revenue and jobs, but also a variety of products such as food, clothing, and mulch. Such products are sold and bought by citizens as well as non-citizens of Lafayette County. In his recent National Farm-City Week, 2006, proclamation, President Bush encouraged every- one to take the time to honor and thank all of the agriculture businesses who help to contribute to the economy, both locally and nationally. "During National Farm-City Week, and throughout the year, we honor the farmers, ranchers, and all those LES students pay tribute to veterans. See story and photos on page 5A.

J.C. met Eloise in Lees- burg after he came home on a 30 day leave from fighting in WWII. He went to visit his sister who was working in Leesburg, and Eloise was working there during the summer from her classes at Lafayette High School. On their first date, they went to Cooies Restaurant in Steinhatchee. The two continued dat- ing and following gradua- tion from LHS, Eloise went to Daytona to work. J.C. visited her in Daytona for several-weekends before proposing. Eloise was 19 at the time, and he was 23. They were married at the county seat. Their son Jimmy was born in 1947; daughter Kay was born in 1954; another daughter Sandy in 1964; and * youngest son Andy was born in 1965. They have three grandchildren, Shan- non, 35, Mindy, 32, and Brooke, who is 2 years old. During WWII. J.C. went to Omaha six days after the invasion. He traveled and fought through France, Germany, Bel- gium, Luxenburg, and part of Austria. He was on the Austrian border near the end of the war. J.C: and Eloise joined Lebanon Baptist Church in Branford in 1953. He served as clerk and trea- surer at the church some- times serving in both posi- tions. He also served as clerk-of the Lafayette.Bap- tistAssociation for eight years. He served as trustee for Suwannee Valley Elec- tric Cooperative for 37 years and resigned 18 months ago. While there he served as a member of the State Board, and served on the credit union, finance, and administra- tive committees as a repre- sentative for Suwannee Valley Electric Corp. His son Andy was appointed to his unexpired term. He also served on the Farm Bureau board for two years. He served on Semi- nole Electric Board of trustees on all committees, finance, administration and engineering for 10 years.

The Walkers bought the cold storage, across from the Agricultural Inspection Station in Branford in 1960, and sold it in 1974. J.C. then went to work for the Agricultural Inspection Station and retired in 1988. After selling the cold storage business, they took a vacation to Hawaii. Now they go to visit their daughter and son-in-law who live in Wyoming. J.C. said, "We go out there mostly every year around the 15, of September. It starts getting really cold then. We have always flown, but the next time we go out there we are go- ing to drive We generally don't go anywhere much, but we will keep going to Wyoming as long as we. are physically able to go."

Veterans Day Summary As we were looking at this photographlof two embracing veterans we saw a younger veteran who had a prosthetic hand. This younger veteran had more visible badges on his uniform than the older veteran. The older veteran has a tattoo and is wearing a yellow wrist band; \\e can infer that the vellcio band is in honor of soldiers still awa- mn combat. The veterans are wearing green dress uniforms and white dress hats. 'We feel this picture expresses affection. They are em- bracing each other with the single thought that they have made the world a better place for one another and millions of citizens by-going to war. Freedom often has a high price. Our freedom is paid for daily with the lives of sol- Sdiers. Some suiive., others don't. i written n by: Koltohi.

This series of work- shops will help area farm and land owners start or improve such businesses. "Attendees will be able to explore the possibility of adding tourism to their farming activities," said Lin- da Landrum, a UF/IFAS Regional Specialized Agent' -based at the NFREC-SV. The workshop will include an overview of agritourism, ecotourism and heritage tourism opportunities in addition to a self assess- ment exercise for the pro- ducer and a discussion of zoning and land uses. "In today's economy of rapidly increasing produc- tion costs, it is extremely important that farmers di- versify their operations possibly seeking more prof- itable enterprises to meet the consumer demand in the tourism markets," said Landrum. NFREC-SV serves the di- verse agricultural interests in the region including veg- etables, fruit crops, protect- ed culture, forestry, tobacco and other forage crops. The Original Florida Tourism Task Force is a tourism marketing group that seeks to promote yet preserve the natural and cultural attrac- tions of the area to increase the number of visitors and extend their stay. Partici- pants that complete all three workshops will be added to the Original Flori- dais website which reaches well over 100,000 visitors monthly. The registration fee is $10/person per workshop which includes lunch, re- freshments and program materials. The registration deadline for the first work- shop is December 1, 2006 at 5 p.m. Visit "http://nfrec- s v if ass u f 1 edu " http:/ /nfrec-sv.ifas.ufl.edu for full program agenda and to register or e-mail Karen Hancock at "mail- to:khancock@ufl.edu" khancock@ufl.edu or call (386) 362-1725 x101 for more information. Lafayette Continued From Page 1A ties. Our economy is strong and growing, and behind the numbers are the stories of hard-work- ing Americans who help spur our economic pros- perity and feed our coun- try and the world," Pres. Bush said. To help promote the continuation of this rela- tionship that local farmers have with the community in which they serve, Lafayette County partici- pated in Farm-City Week that began on Friday, Nov. 17, and ended on Thursday, Nov. 23. One of the ways in which our county played a part was during the Mayo Rotary meeting on .Wed. Nov. 15, Judge Har- low Land and Rod.Land, President of Farm Bureau, signed a National Farm- City Week proclamation prior to guest speaker An- drew Wamsley presenting the.program on Farm-City Week. Other ways coun- ties across the state partic- ipated included giving farm tours and having breakfasts, lunches, or dinners with guest speak- ers on various topics re- lating to agriculture. This event was begun in 1955, during a time when farmers were facing fi- nancial difficulties. Ac- cording to the National Farm-City Council, ap- proximately one million faris were lost between 1950 and 1955. In re- sponse to this devastating blow to the agriculture in- dustry, the American Farm Bureau Federation, joined by the Kiwanis Club, created National Farm-City Week to help improve public relations. "National Farm-City Week strives to increase understanding, coopera- tion, and relationships be- tween rural and urban residents," Kathy Richard, Public Relations Program Manager for FFBF, said.

Two Continued From Page 1A area revealed the direction that the subjects appeared to have ,fled. Captain Young, Investigator Travis Boatright, and the Mayo Correctional K-9 Team re- sponded to the scene. The K-9 team was suc- cessful in locating the two subjects hiding in a hay barn belonging to Doyle Bell, which is located ap- proximately one mile from the Portbury residence. Upon apprehending the two subjects, they were transported to the Lafayette County Jail where ,they were subse- quently interviewed. During questioning, it was discovered that one of the individuals had a 45 caliber semi-automatic handgun, which was stolen in the burglary, in his possession while hid- ing in -the hay barn. At one point he entertained the thought of shooting his way out of being ap- prehended, but was con- vinced by his counterpart that his actions would end badly. The subjects hid the weapon in the hay bales where it was later recovered by the deputies. According to Young, almost all of the stolen property was recovered either in Lafayette County or Nassau County. Sheriff McCall stated that this is a great example of multiple agencies working togeth- er to protect and serve the citizens of this communi- ty. He gives high praise to the Mayo K-9 Team for their immediate response and assistance in appre- hending the two fugitives. In addition, he was ex- tremely pleased with the level of competence and professionalism displayed by the deputies who re- sponded. This was an ex- tremely volatile situation and we are fortunate that common sense prevailed and no one was hurt.

The lams Home '4 the Holidays program is hoping more than 350,000 families welcome fur- ry friends in Live Oak and around the globe.during this year's annual adoption Drive. Entering its eighth season, the lams Home 4 the Holidays international pet adoption drive has placed more than one million lucky animals with loving families. This past December, the one Smillionth pet was adopted a cat in Mil- ton. Helen Woodward Animal Center started the Home 4 the Holidays adop- tion drive back in 1999 with 14 animal shelters in San Diego County. Since that time, it has grown to include shelters and rescue groups from around the globe with 1941 shelters participating Last year. This year, City of Live Oak Animal Shelter and Helen Woodward Animal Center will team with more than 2,000 animal shelters; Academy Award-win- ner.Diane Keaton; Kristen Bell, star of the hit TV show "Veronica Mars," and lams to encourage prospective pet par- ents to take a shelter pet home for the holidays. This year's adoption drive takes place from through Jan. 2, 2007, at City of Live Oak Animal Shelter. "I'm honored to be a part of such an enormous life-saving effort," said Bell. "I applaud-all the shelter and rescue groups who have made this program the success that it is. I encourage everyone to.consider pet adoption, as I hope it will enhance your life as much as it has rmine,"'During her childhood, the actress took care of a steady stream of foster pets, providing temporary home so they wouldiiot have to spend long stretches of time in kennels. Bell is an adoptive pet parent herself to three dogs, includ- ing a black Labrador who survived Hur- ricane Katrina. Thanks to its record of success, Helen Woodward Animal Center and lams were recognized this past year with the Gold Halo Award for Best Environmen- tal/ Wildlife Campaign from the Cause Marketing Forum. The Gold Halo Award recognizes programs that pro- vide resources for nonprofit partners, move consumers to act out of a desire to do good and enrich lives. The lams Home 4 the Holidays program delivers all of these by providing resources for participating shelters, asking consumers to consider pet adoption, and finding homes for more than a million orphaned pets. "As a partner in the lams Home 4 the Holidays campaign, we are proud to play a part in finding lifelong homes for so many deserving pets," says Amy Newkirk, lams external relations. 'The human-pet bond is enhanced by taking the time to consider which animal best suits your wants and needs, and then provide them with loving environment with appropriate training, a proper diet and exercise." During this year's adoption drive, each new adopting family will receive an lams adoption kit containing food sam- ples, coupons and important tips on pet care. behavior, training and nutrition. 'This program improves the lives of orphaned pets and may provide your family with its most loyal member. There are millions of dogs and cats of every size, shape, color and age ready to become part of your family," says Mike Arms, president of Helen Woodward Animal Control and founder of lams Home 4 the Holidays.

Smith, Ai.-let ' Christian Village, Office for Residential Services Advent. Christian Village (ACV), is pleased to an- noufice the return perfor- mance of Master Auto- harpist, Bryan Bowers, on Tuesday evening, Novem- ber. 28, at 6 pim. in Phillips Dining Room. Earlier that same 'day, Mr. Bowers will perform at 10:30 a.m. at GSC and at 3 p.m. in Dacier Manor. Bryan Bowers was born August 18, 1940, in York- town, Virginia, and was raised in New Bohemia, Va. During his.youth, Mr. Bow- ers tagged along with the field workers and gandy dancers and learned to sing old call-and-answer songs. He recalls, "The music I heard while working in the fields was mesmerizing. In the late '60s, Bowers took up the guitar. "The roots of the music had gone real deep in me, he ex- plained. "Music was real fulfilling, unlike anything I had ever done before." Eventually, Mr. Bowers was introduced to the autoharp. "I ran into a guy that could get the harp in good tune, he said. He played without any finger- picks, just With his fingernails. He had a real sprightly style on it. It was the first time I'd heard some- one play it in good tune and play it well., It opened my eyes and my ears. I went out and got one the next day." In 1971, Mr. Bowers played for coins in Seattle, Wa., as a street singer and in bars for the right to pass the hat. He later headed east and played in' the bluegrass community. . Bryan Bower's creativity and talent have won him in- duction into Frets Maga- zine's First Gallery of the Greats, after five years of winning the stringed in- strument, open category of the magazine's readers' poll. This distinction put him along side other lumi- naries, such as Chet Atkins and Itzhak Perlman, recog- nized for their personal ac- complishments. In 1993, he was inducted into the Auto- harp Hall of Fame to stand only with IMavbelle Carter, Kilby Snow, and .Sara Carter. For nearly three decades,' Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to, the five- string banjo.'He presents in- strumental virtuosity com- bined with warmth, elo- quence, expression, and" professionalism. Deseret News of Salt Lake City, Utah, proclaims that calling Bryan Bowers' performance simply a 'concert' would be inadequate if not inaccurate ... (it) could better be de- scribed as an experience!" Do not miss out ori this experience! Tickets can be purchased at the door on the evening of the concert. Ticket prices are as follows: ACV Members: $4, Other Adults. (non-ACV mem- bers): $5, Students & Youth: free. For more info, please call the Dick Grillo at (386) 658-5291, or e-mail dgril- lo@acvillage.net. id Nov. 27.Dec.1, 2006 Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs.

NOVEMBER 23, 2006 Holmes Melton was ap- pointed to serve out the Holmes Melton was ap- remainder of Judge Mc- Clain's term and I be- lieve he served capably and fairly. Holmes was the second son of Mr. & Mrs. Melton who were previously mentioned as grocery store mer- chants in Mayo. The oldest son, Howell is well remembered by this writer and I was privileged to re- trieve the errant basketballs for him as he practiced his game on the clay court next to the old school house af- ter school had let out for the day. That old clay court was about the ex- tent of athletic facilities at the school at that fimpr Most games were most of my wages so that on Satur- day I didn't have to worry about los- ing my money on the way home. I once was told to take an order that had been called in and deliver it to the house next to the school house. Well, at that time there were two school houses, one just recently opened and one recently closed. I se- lected the one I thought he intended and took those groceries to where the NAPA stores is now and those hungry folks were glad to see it. A migrant family was living there and it never occurred to me that I was at the wrong place. Later that day he played in the afternoon but an occa- sional night game was played under lights suspended from a cable over the court where an occasional er- rant pass might knock out a bulb or two. Both of the Melton boys after grad- uating from high school went on to the University of Florida. Howell be- came a lawyer and during his career he served as Federal Judge in the Northern District of Florida I be- lieve. I think I saw the name, possi- bly a son of this fine man, relating him to the legal profession also. Holmes worked on the staff of the UF alumni association under the di- rection of D.R. Billy Matthews, a widely acclaimed and upright gen- tleman who had taught my mother in school over in Hawthorne. Mr. Matthews later. served honorably, as Congressman from this district. When these boys left or school a job.opened up at Melton Grocery for a delivery boy and since I had a bi- cycle I \\'as given a chance to fill that job. Mr. Melton paid me top wage's S, at that time which was $4 a week for six days. I usually ate and drank up received a phone call asking what time the groceries would be deliv- ered. He straightaway asked me where had I taken those groceries and I told him. He put me in the car with him and away we went to re- trieve what was left of that grocery order. I think we got most of it back but they had spread it out on the kitchen table and seemed quite pleased at their windfall. I soon left that job and took a posi- tion with my daddy where I was earning $5 a week. At that time,.a lunch room had been built behind the new school and lunches were 50 cents a week..I paid that out of my salary and added a light to my bike and a few other things as needed. This was during war times and I bought sav- ings stamps which were ten cents each and placed them in a book which when full, would be.re- deemed for a war bond. When summer came around and tobacco crops had to be harvested things got really interesting because a person could earn as much as three dollars a day working on the farms. The handers were paid $1.50, the stringers got a r $2 and the croppers got $3. Stick off boys were paid about $1 I believe. I started out at that job but pro-0.A. Winburn, Jr. gressed along ScrubHammock@aol.com until I was fi- nally a cropper and the rate had gone up to $4 a day. No way to lkr" keep from getting rich I thought. You could not find a better meal than was served on those days, home grown and home cooked with plenty of iced tea served on ice that' was "chipped" off a block with an ice, pick.......

Medicare Part 0 open enrollment is underway AARP offers tips to help lower your drug costs Once again it is time to enroll in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. It is also the time to evaluate your current plan and, if necessary, switch to a differ- ent plan that better meets your needs. Open enrollment runs through Dec. 31 for coverage starting January 1, 2007. People are urged to make their decision early in December to allow for the timely processing of their applications. Millions of older Americans and per- sons with disAbilities are now saving with their Medicare drug plans, but ac- cording to AARP, even those with drug coverage can find ways to save even more. "Because prescription drugs costs so much, AARP wants to help Americans become wiser consumers, said Cheryl Matheis, AARP Director of Health Strat- egy. "Don't let advertising lead you to believe you need the advertised brand name drug, which may be the most ex- pensive. Talk to your physician or phar- macist about alternatives." Here are five more tips to help you keep drug costs down: SAsk your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives to high priced drugs. See if there is a generic equivalent for. your pre- scription. Generic medicine can help you 7>7 L ~-' ~L<~z-'~ 'L~I~''I-:I IL, n l ;HIjj f If your credit score is IMIN 420 or 820, call today II EVRE for pre-approval f U 386-755-2424 :Buyers ~~ij=- - Gus Rentz, Program Sales Manager save money and give you the same quali- ty benefits of brand name drugs. SDo your homework. Use the drug comparison website at www.aarp.org/comparedrugs to find cur- rent options for treating conditions and average drug costs. Or order the print "Know Your Rx Options" brochures. Dis- cuss these options with your doctor or pharmacist. Take all medications as prescribed. Skipping doses or not filling the orders your doctors prescribe can lead to pro- longed illness and relapses. Keep a record of the prescription drugs you take and dosage, include over the counter and dietary supplements. Share this information with your doctors and pharmacists. They can help identify duplicative prescriptions and help you avoid any adverse reactions. Order a Per- sonal Medication Record at www.aarp.org/healthorderform. Use mail order to get a 90 day supply of the medications you take on an on-go- ing basis. If you are in Medicare, and you do not have drug coverage, consider enrolling in a Medicare Part D plan. You could face a late enrollment penalty if you wait and enroll later than when you were first eli- gible. Call Medicare at 1-800- MEDICARE for information on plans of- fered in your area. Those with lower in- come can qualify for extra help in paying all or part of the monthly plan premiums and co-payments. If your income is less than $14,700 ($19,800 for a married cou- ple) you should apply for Medicare's low income subsidy by contacting the Social Security Administration at: 1-800-772- 1213. If you have high drug costs, and you do not qualify for Medicare's low income subsidy, look into a Medicare Part D plan that provides drug coverage that extends into the coverage gap. In 2007, this is the period after you have incurred $2,400 in drug costs. At that point, you are respon- sible for 100% of drug costs until you reach the catastrophic level, which is $5,450 in total incurred costs. Once you reach the catastrophic level, your plan will pay about 95 percent of the rest of your drug costs for the year.

It's important to make informed food choices and develop sound eating and physical activity habits to stay healthy. The food and physical activity choices you make today and everyday affect your health and how you feel right now and in the future, says the American Dietetic Association (www.eatright.org). To maintain good'health, the Association suggests that you make smart choices from every food group to give your body the balanced nutrition it needs, being sure to stay within your daily calorie needs. Exercising regularly is just as important, which helps control body weight, promotes a feeling of well being, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. FOOD GUIDE PYRAMID UPDATE Since not all people are the same, the need for a more individualized approach to improving diet and lifestyle is necessary. This important point led to a revision in the Food Guide Pyramid last January by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Called MyPyramid, this new food-guidance system utilizes interactive technology, allowing individuals to enter their age, gender and phIsical activity level to obtain a more personalized reconunmmendation on their daily calorie level based on the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The Web site features MyPyramid Plan,, MyPyramid Tiacker ard Inside MyPyramid, plus tips, resources and a worksheet. There is also a child-friendly version for children 6 to 11 years old. The main points of MyPyramid are highlighted below, courtesy of the USDA. All daily servings'are based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Visit their Web site at vww.v.mypyramid.gov to determine the amounts that are right foryou, Make half your grains whole: Eat 6 ounces of whole-grain cereals. breads, crackers, rice, or pasta. Substitute a whole-grain product (brown rice, bulgur, graham flour, oatmeal, whole- grain corn, Whole oats, whole rye, whole wheat, and wild rice) for a refined product such as eating whole-wheat bread instead of white bread or brown rice instead of white rice. It's important to substitute the whole-grain product for the refined one, rather than adding the whole-grain product. Note that foods labeled with the words "multi-grain," "stone-ground," "100 percent \wheat," -cracked wheat," "seven-grain," or "bran" are usually not whole-grain products. SVary your veggies: Eat 21 2 cups of dark-green veggies like broccoli, spinach, and other dark leafi greens: orange vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes; and dry beans and peas like pinto beans. kidney beans, and lentils. Stock up on frozen vegetabless for quick and easy cooking in the nucrow ave, buy vegetables that are eas\ to prepare, pick up pre-washed bags of salad greens and add baby carrots or grape tomatoes for a salad in minutes. SFocus on fruit: Eat a \ariety of fruits, and go easy on fruit juices. Choose 2 cups of fresh,, frozen, canned, or dried fruit, and keep a bowl of \whole fruit on the table, counter or in the refrigerator. Buy fresh fruits in season when they may be less expensive and at peak flavor. Consider convenience when shopping and buy pre-cut packages of fruit (such as melon or pineapple chunks) for a healthy snack in seconds. Choose packaged fruits that do not have added sugars. Get your calcium-rich foods: Two cups for k and up are recommended. Go low-fat or fat-free dairy products. If you don't or can't consume m calcium sources such as fortified foods and beve you usually drink whole milk, gradually switch calories. Try reduced-fat (2 percent), then low-fi you drink cappuccinos or lattes ask for them w fat milk instead of water to oatmeal and hot cere snack, or use as a dip for fruits or vegetables.

The leanest beef cuts include round, bottom round, round tip), top loin, top sir leanest pork choices include pork loin, tenderloi percent lean ground beef. You may be able to fi lean. Buy skinless chicken parts, or take off the chicken breasts and turkey cutlets are the leanes beef, ham, or low-fat luncheon meats for sandw such as regular bologna or salami.

The Greater Jack- sonville Fair in Jacksonville showcased twelve acts who had won a local contest spon- sored by radio stations through- out Florida enabling each to perform at the state level com- petition of America's largest country music talent search. WWKA of Orlando spon- sored the local competition where Daniels won prior to Sat- urday's state level triumph. He moved to Nashville two years ago to pursue a career in the music, industry and has met with Capitol, Universal South and RCA. Although the oppor- tunity has arisen for artists to record his songs, Daniels says, "I'm not in it for the money so I have not let some artists use my songs because they are very close to my heart. I write from my heart." Currently, he fronts and writes for a band called B u c k 1 e d o w n www.myspace.com/buckle- downmusic and plays.at venues in Nashville such as Lyrix. The singer/songvrriter/lead guitar Player has a passion for stage Sand producing other artists as well, such as St. James, Kelly STrdell and various.bands in Florida.

When promoting your bake .sunbeltchrysler.-com -1 sale, include on the flyer and posters a statement of how the proceeds will be used. Keep prices simple (increments of 25 cents) for adding and making change. Candies, cookies and bars are always top sellers: Sell' them by the dozen, or bake bars in disposable aluminum pans that double as selling containers. Package some goodies in small amounts, such as four or .six, so customers can "mix and match." Set out a basket of individually wrapped and priced bars to entice "Eat now!" sales. Use frosting colored with school colors to decorate cookies, bars and cakes. Take orders from customers in advance; charge a bit extra for delivery. Make sure anything containing allergens is clearly labeled (i.e., peanut allergies, dairy allergies). .. One of the sure-to-sell .itens is Buckeye Candy. They're from Ohio the Buckeye State and let me tell you, these irresistible no- bake peanut butter and chocolate bites are easy and fun to make. The kids will enjoy rolling the Buckeyes and dipping in melted chocolate. Host a candy- making party for your kids and friends and make sure you have enough for "sampling." Whether looking to plan the perfect bake sale, prepare delicious after-school sweets or create picture-perfect autumn desserts, get inspired at www.VeryBestBaking.com. BUCKEYE CANDY (Makes about 6 dozen candies): 2 cups creamy peanut butter (not all-natural) 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened 3 3/4 cups (16-ounce box) powdered sugar 2 cups (12-ounce package) Nestl6 Toll House Semi- Sweet Chocolate Morsels 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening LINE baking sheets with wax paper. SBEAT peanut butter and butter in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in powdered sugar until mixture holds together and is moistened. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on prepared .baking sheets. Freeze 1 hour. MELT morsels and. shortening in medium, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) 1 minute; stir. Morsels may retain some-of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. DIP peanut butter centers into melted chocolate using toothpick, leaving small portion of center uncovered. Shake off excess chocolate and scrape bottom of candy on side of bowl. Return to baking sheets; refrigerate until chocolate sets. Store refrigerated in covered container.
