Ham- lin is the School Resource Officer for Lafayette Ele- mentary, Lafayette High School, and Lighthouse Christian Academy. At this time, according. to Hamlin, there is no evi- dence of any children abusing prescription and over-the-counter medica- tions on school grounds and throughout the county. "This is not a problem in our county at this time. It is, however, a large scale problem in other parts of our country," Hamlin said.

Later David's son, Solomon, was extend-' ed the honor of using the materials accumulated by David to build the magnifi- cent edifice. In the process of betom- ing a Christian God takes up residency in the individ- ual's heart. The Christian becomes, a "habitation" of the Lord the temple of the Lord (I Corinthians 6:19). As a Christian you should have a deep desire to build a dwelling place for the Lord. Moses said, I will prepare Him a habita- tion (Exodus 15:2). Chris- tians should be perpetually preparing that habitation! You have nothing in com- mon with this world (at least you shouldn't).

If you are requesting chocolate for Valentine's Day you may want to direct your sweetheart to pur- chase the dark variety. That's because dark choco- late can actually be good for you, in addition to tasting delicious. Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, those substances that can help fend off diseases, It may also help to lower blood pressure. However, milk may inter-. fere with the proper ab- sorption of antioxidants, so don't wash it down with a tall glass or mix, chocolates if you want the full health benefits. Though there's no longer a need to feel guilty when indulging in a piece, remember moderation is key.

The cat was crying desperately for help to get out o f a 50-56 foot tree and he was O iet up. That's when I decided to call the volunteer fire de- partment to come to the escue of the cat. Will Ham- lin picked up the line and told me he could come. He showed up in my yard within 7 or 8 minutes. It was around 5:30 when they arrived, but they soon dis- covered, their ladder was not 50 feet tall. Hamlin con- o ` zzl tacted L.D. (Little David) son of David Tyre. He came out in the Brae truck and was able, to get into t'he bucket which was half full of water but he still got into the bucket and after going through rough branches' which scratched him all over, he managed to reach the cat., The cat was frightened and moved to the other side of the tree. L.D. tried to get the cat to move. The cat finally. moved"down 10 feet, and so did L.D. By this W time he barely had light to even see the cat except for my dad's flashlight which was dimmin'g'because of loss of batter power. The sheriff showed up before the' battery was completely, gone in the- flashlight. So, he'riff Car- son McCall and Jeff Condy arrived with a much bigger light. Nobody had called the sheriff, but they showed up just as if we had asked them to bring a light. I guess we just got lucky when they showed up. L.D. could see a -whole lot better. When he went to grab the cat with a b lanket through the branches, the cat was so frightened he decided to jump to the ground. He was still up in the tree 40 feet but he jumped to.the ground and surprisingly landed on his -feet. He began to run. through the yard and then the subdivision. After L.D. got down out of the bucket his feet were soaked with water all'the way above the ankles. We told him and the sheriff, thank you very much for the help to get the little kit- ty out of the tree. We took pictures of L.D. and volun- teer fire department work- er, Will Hamlin beside the sign of the Brae truck. I just want to say thank you to the Volunteer Fire Department, Bra6 Incorpo- rated, and the sheriff. Katie Baldwin Van: A Lafaytte'Recreational a.m. at the Lafayette Coun- ty High School gym.

The milestone came against Trenton Tuesday night. With just over a minute to play in the game Land grabbed an offensive re- bound and scored to break the Area Regional scoring record. The area includes the North-Central Florida area. The record was held by Noreka Smith who played for Union County. Lafayette coach Jimmy Blankenship knew she was near the record and kept it from her until the final two minutes of the game. "I told' her the at the beginning of the fourth quarter get one more basket and you will break the record and then , you are coming out," he said. Land delayed her re- moval from the game by missing three attempts and two free throws. "She looked at me and said, 'why did you tell me?' I should not have. told her," -' %. w,;:;. 'k ..

She could become the areas top scorer including both boys and girls. "When I have the opportunity, I try to do my best," she said. (photos by Ed Taylor) said Coach Blankenship. "She has had some good teammates to help con- tribute to what she has done. You may say it is Na- talie Land's feat but every Lady Hornet that has played has contribute to it." Land has been a starter since her seventh grade year in school. Coach Blankenship said he was very pleased the way she has performed. "It is pretty amazing to what she has accomplished in her basket- ball career," said the Lafayette mentor. "I am very proud of her. She is something else." Land finished with 22' points in the victory but will always remember the 22nd point against Trenton.

(photo by Ed Taylor) JV's make it six straight by Ed Taylor Sports Correspondent After a horrible 0-6 start, the Lafayette Hornets ju- nior varsity basketball team won their sixth con- secutive game to even their record at 6-6 on the season with a 70-59 win over host Bronson last Friday night. The Hornets stingy man- to-man defense was too much for Bronson. It was "The Kade Bell Show" against Bronson as the junior high player lit up the scoreboard for 29 points draining five three- point baskets. Devin Belle- my added 13 points and he drilled three treys for the winners. Antwan Brown chipped in with 12 points. Lafayette held a slim 19- 14 lead at the first stop but trailed at the half time break, 36-34.'It was the.first time the junior Hornets trailed at the half in their last six games. It did not take long for the Bronson to disappear as Coach Mike Harris' Hornets came out energetic at the start of the second'half. The Hor- nets stung the Eagles with a 22-6 run that netted them a 56-42 advantage after three quarters. Bronson narrowed the margin to five points, 58- 53, early in the fourth quar- ter but could get no closer. Lafayette's defense caused Bronson to turn the ball over on five of their final six possessions. Sellers scored the final six points for the Hornets by the SEE JV'S, PAGE 7A by Ed Taylor Sports Correspondent Joseph Edwards and Jonathan Sellers combined for 34 points in leading coach Derek Garland's ballclub to a 51-40 victory over Bronson last Friday night. Both Edwards and Sellers tossed in 17 points each. While their offense struggled it was the Hor- nets defense that kept Bronxson from repeating an earlier game where they posted a win over the Hor- nets. It was by far the best defensive outing of the season for the .Iornets who mixed their zone de- fenses to keep Bronson off stride. "Our guys really played their roles," said Coach Garland. "They did not go out there and try to do too much. They played their assignments and that is all we asked them to do." ..It was in the third period that Bronson had their problems against the Hor- nets defense. Coach Gar-, land put his team in a zone defense for the full game mixing the zones at times. "We wanted to keep them out of the paint and make them shoot it and that worked. Luckily they did. not hit from the outside." Lafayette hit the boards better than they did in the first two quarters. The Hornets defense held . Bronson, a strong inside team, to just one field goal in the third period. "I want- ed us to stay with the zone because I knew that Bron- son was a good "man" of- fense. We struggled against them in an earlier game. We just wanted to make sure we did not give them any layups and we wanted to earn everything." A spurt of 14-6 in the third period netted the Hornets a 45-29 lead.

"We are pla-ing a lot better," he said. "we're coming to- gether and we're looking for each other on the floor." Arthur Sellers led the Hornets scoring with 20 points followed closely by Kade Bell with 17. The Hornets looked im- pressive in the early min- utes running out to a 23- 10 lead. Lafayette's de- fense has been a key to turning things around this season and against Bell it was no different. Lafayette took a 46-20 half time lead to the locker room at the half. Antwan Brown, just his third game back, added 10 points for the Hornets in the win. The Hornets defense held Bell to just seven third quarter points in SEE JR. HORNETS, PAGE 7A The eighth-ranked Lady Hornets of Lafayette High School made it look easy. against Bronson last Friday night on the road. Four players scored in double fig- ures for coach Jimmy Blankenship ball- club en route to a 86-16 win. The win im- proved the Lady Hornets to 17-1 on the season and 7-0 in the district standings. Junior guard Natalie Land tossed in a game high 20 points in leading Lafayette, 12 of those came in the first period. The score does not indicate the sluggish start the Lady Hornets had against Bron- son. They did not look as sharp as previ- ous outings but Bronson was having diffi- culty in finding the basket as well. The Lady Hornets committed four turnovers in the early going, something very un- characteristic of a Blankenship coached team. All he could do was just shake his ' In overtime... Hoold os hold off '*1* Bulldogs by Ed Taylor Sports Correspondent It took an extra period but it would be the Lafayette Hornets who would come home with a. thrilling 69-62 overtime win over the Bell Bulldogs at home last week. The Bulldogs fought their way back into the game after trailing most of the game. Lafayette came out with the hot hand at the onset of the game and established a. 15 point cushion before the Bulldogs caught fire. Bell cut the margin to 10 just before the half. The Hor- 'nets took a 35-25 half time lead to the locker room. The game was tied at 61- . 61 after regulation play. In the five minute over- time, the hornets held the Bulldogs to a single free throw in outscoring them 8-1.

Bron- son has little success in moving the ball into the paint area and was forced to try scoring from the out- side. A difficult choice for a team who likes to go in- side. The Hornets opened in their 1-3-1 zone until Bron- son drilled a couple of treys. "We went to the 1-3- 1 so our guards would not have to run as far. We used our 2-3 zone to help out' re- bounding," said Garland. "I think we did a good job mixing it up." The two teams played to a 15-15 tie at the end of the first quarter. The Hornets went up 5-0 and held a five point lead twice. Two free throws and a three-point basket by Rivers tied the game. There were three lead changes in the early going of the second quarter with Bronson's last lead at 18-17. On a nice out of bounds play, Eric McIntyre scored and Edwards followed with a short jumper that gave Lafayette a 21-18 lead. The Hornets never relin- quished the lead after that.

"This team is starting to grow up," said the Hornets mentor. "They are worrying only about things they can control." Lafayette build a 15 point lead in the fourth quarter but struggled big time from the free throw line down the stretch. "Our free throw shooting almost got us again," said Gar- land. "We also missed a bunch of layups. That hap- pens by the way we move the ball. They are a very unselfish team. If we keep doing that the shots are go- ing to fall." The Hornets hit only 35 percent from the charity stripe making six of 17 attempts. Edward was a hand full for Bronson throughout the game. His slashing type of * play and quickness kept the Bronson defense guess- ing most of the night. Coach Garland said they had counted on that. "We knew earlier on that they would have problems stop- ping Jonathan," Garland said. "We wanted to run our offense through him to open everything else up." Sellers had an outstand- ing floor game to gowith his 17 points. His play at the point guard position help direct the Hornets of- fense. "Jonathan is doing a great job for us. He is start- ing to step and become that leader we need.". McIntyre finished with seven points for the Hor- nets but hit some big bas- kets when the game was closer. Jamal Reid, who had strong defensive game as well as working the boards, finished with five points. Jody Watson netted just three points but pulled in some big rebounds when the Hornets needed them. Sergio Perez had two points. The win improved Lafayette to 6-9 on the sea- son but more importantly gave them sole possession of second place in the dis- trict with a 5-2 mark. The win gave the Hornets and outside chance of tying Trenton for the district leadership.

Antwan Brown scored 11 points and team- mate Zach Fleming added 10, The game was never in doubt from the onset as, Lafayette rolled out to a 15-1 first quarter lead be- hind the play of Sellers. Sellers scored eight of his 14 points in the opening quarter as the Hornets de- fense held Trenton to just a free throw in the first eight minutes. Against the Hornets defense, Trenton turned the ball on their fi- nal five possessions of the first period. Trenton got closer to make it a 15-7 game by scoring the first six points of the second quarter. Avi- la and Schwartz led the, Trenton charge. Kade Bell completed an old-fashion three-point play with 4:06 to play for a 19-7 advan- tage in the second quarter.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 2007 THE MAYO FREE PRESS, Mayo, FL PAGE 7A I~ -, ' PAGE 8A THE MAYO FREE PRESS, Mayo, FL THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 2007 Simpler caps successful football season Submitted Celebrating a successful 2006 season, the Verbena (Ala.) High School Red Devils re-lived a year which saw them improve from a 2- 8 2005 record to a rousing 9-4 year at their Dec. 4, 2006, football banquet. In a four game run early in the season, VHS out-scored their opponents 170-8. Kyle Simpler, son of Jim- my and Sherry (Walker) Simpler, formerly of Mayo, was honored with the school's Most Valuable Player Award. Simpler, carrying a 3.9 GPA, re- ceived -the Academic Award, as well as a Team Captain plaque. In their jamboree game, Verbena's quarterback, Ja- son Montgomery, broke his collar bone and was unable to play until the final regu- lar season game. Simpler, previously a receiver and free safety, was called on to fill the QB position. Verbe- na head coach, Mike Harris was hesitant about making the move because Simpler had never played the posi- tion and was the team's leading receiver. However, on Tuesday following the jamboree game, Harris put Simpler under center and he started the season open- er that Friday night. He led the team to a 6-0 start and the team's first appearance in the AHSAA top 10 poll in a number of years. On the season, Simpler threw for 8 touchdowns, had 9 rushing touchdowns and also had 5 touchdown receptions. Kyle complet- ed 50% of his passes, aver- aged 11.2 yards rushing, and 7.7 yards per recep- tion. Defensively, he led the team in interceptions with 11, and had 43 tackles and 16 assists.. Simpler was recently named to the All-Chilton County Football Team for 2006. He and his twin sis- ter, Keli (who has a 4. GPA and plays basketball and softball), were both nomi- nated for the Wendy's Heis- man award. Kyle and Keli are the grandchildren of Howard and Carolyn Walker, of Lafayette County, and often come to visit their aunt, Tambrey Newbern, their uncles, Thomas (Cheri), Heath (Stephanie) and Wayne (Amanda) and their cousins and extended fami- ly in the area.

Bulldogs. The win allowed coach Jimmy Blankenship ballclub to remain unbeat- en in district play and im- proved to 16-1 overall af- ter posting a 70-19 win last Thursday night. Sharonda Cherry had a strong game finishing with 14 points to go with her floor play. TaQuelia Mack- lin finished in double fig- ures with 12 points. Lillie Prine netted 10 points as she continues to fill in for the injured Maria Alcazar. Sunshine Reid, averaging in double figures, had only five points in the win. Led by Land, the Lady Hornets jumped out quickly leading 22-3 after the first quarter. It was 43-10 at the half. The Lady Bulldogs had diffi- cult in trying to solve the Lafayette press. Amy Ergle and Holli Moore led Bell with six points apiece. Lafayette will face a tough opponent in Hawthorne this Saturday night in a home en- counter. Judge Land honored with retirement celebration A retirement celebration was held on Dec. 19, in honor of Judge Harlow "Hank" Land Jr ..- .... " Lady Continued From Page 6A Lafayette scored the first 18 points of the first quar- ter in going in front 20-3 at the first stop. Sharonda Cherry, who finished with 16 points in the win, had seven first quarter points. Land got into the act in the second period with eight points. Coach Blankenship went to the bench early in this one and often. The Lady Hornets opened rather sluggish at the onset of the game. Coach Blankenship said that could have been the Florida football Gators , fault. "I think some of them stayed up and watched the Florida-Ohio State game," he said. "Having already beaten Trenton on Friday night, that had a lot to do with it. We played much better the second half. We got after it and looked bet- ter." Coach Blankenship said it was another district win for his ballclub. "That is what you have to look at," he said. "Our district games are what is impor- tant to us." The Lady Hor- nets remain unbeaten in district play after improv- ing to 15-1 on the season. Their lone loss came to North Florida Christian. The Lady Hornets held a 59-11 edge entering the fourth period. Coach Blankenship had removed his starters with the excep- tion of Land, He knew she was close to the area scor- ing record. The record was broken with just over a minute to play in the game. Land grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on the play: Coach Blankenship congratulated her with a hug. Land said she knew the record was within reach but did not know it until the fourth quarter. The Lady Hornets will host Hawthorne this com- ing Saturday night. Lafayette defeated Hawthorne by two points earlier in the season. Land Continued From Page 6A "This is the biggest accom- plishment of my career so far," said a humble Land. "I am really happy about it. Coach Blankenship did not tell me until I was one bas- ket away from the record. Then he calls me over to the side and tells me, 'you have one more basket until you break the record."' Another record looms on the horizon and the Lafayette junior has a shot at it before she moves on. She may not accomplish it this season but is surely to reach it next year. The next record is the boys and girls record currently held by Cornelius Ingram. Ingram has just over 3,200 points and the goal is very reach- able yet this season. "I don't know if she will get it this year," said Coach Blanton. "I am sure she will have it next year." "It is something to al- ways keep in the back of your mind," said Land on the possibility of not reach- ing the other milestone this year. "Points is not some- thing I think about every - time I go out there. If I do accomplish it that will be great." Like Coach Blankenship, Land credits the play of her teammates making such an accomplishment possible. "With them I could not have done this," she said. "Basketball is a team sport. They gave me opportuni- ties to make the points." Land said if a person just plays the game of basket- ball like it is suppose to be played opportunities will present itself. "You have to be unselfish out there," she said. "The most important thing is to win games. When I do have an oppor- tunity to score I just try and do my best. Land, who will be a se- nior next season, hasn't a college on her mind. "Right now I am getting letters. But I do not have a clue as to where I will be going," she said. "I should have some idea by this sum- mer." Land said while her coach does not show much emotions on the sidelines he makes up for in prac- tices. "He lets .us know what we are doing wrong," she said. "But he also tells when we are doing a good job. He builds your confi- dence up. When I was in the seventh grade he built my confidence up. You have to have a coach like that. He is a great coach!" Land was quick to give credit to her past team- mates in seasons past for their contributing to her success. "Stacy Lewis was a great teammate," she said. "She gave an 150 percent every time she went on the floor. She was quick and we ran the break well fo- gether." While the Lady Hornet has reached one milestone in her career, still one has escaped her and she cer- tainly would like to obtain that one yet this season -- a state championship. "That would be the ultimate ac- complishment," she said. Who knows, maybe that will come this season. Overtime Continued From Page 6A Hornets to extend the lead back to 18 points. Bell nev- er quit and chipped away at the lead reducing the margin to 11 points in the third. With three minutes to play in the fourth peri- od, the Bulldogs tied the game with just over three minutes to play. The game went back and forth the rest of the regulation play with a late basket by Bell tying the game at 61-61. Jonathan Edwards led all scorers with his 20 points, Eric McIntyre added 15 points that included three three-point baskets. "Jonthan played a good game for us," said Coach Garland. "He could had more points but he missed a bunch of easy baskets. But he got it going early for us. He got us off to our quick start." Edwards, who finished 10 of 13 from the charity stripe, knocked down some key free throws down the stretch of the fourth quarter. Bell could only manage the one point in the over- time, but credit the Hor- nets defense. "We really played well defensively," Garland said. "We re- bounded well." The biggest turnaround for the Hornets came in taking care of the basket- ball down the stretch. "We took better care of the ball and quit turning it over," said the Hornet mentor. "They got back into the game and got some easy layups on us.

In the overtime Coach Garland felt like his team regain the aggressiveness they had at the start of the game. "We got a little pas- sive the fourth quarter. But in the overtime we came out and was very aggres- sive." Joining Edwards and McIntyre in double digit scoring was Sellers who finished with 13 points. ."Our scoring was bal- anced," said Garland. "We moved the ball well. Much like the Trenton game, our defense ignited our of- fense. We did a great job sharing the ball." Jamal Reid just missed double figures with his nine points. Darren Powe had a strong garhe and netted five points. Josh Scott, Kevin Waters and .Joey Watson finished with two points apiece. Sergio . Perez had one point. David Bailey topped Bell's scoring with his 17 points. Trent Shepherd drilled four three-pointers to finish with 12 points. Tyson Railey netted 15 points for the Bulldogs. Lafayette improved to 5- 9 on the season and 4-2 in district play.

CFO Sink announces nearly $700,000 in homeland security funds awarded to state bomb team, laboratory Alex Sink, the chief financial officer of Florida and state fire marshal, announced today that the Division of State Fire Marshal's Explosive Ordi- nance Device (EOD) Unit and Forensic Labora- tory have been awarded nearly $700,000 in homeland security funds to buy equipment to protect Florida communities. "We can never let our guard down when it comes to being prepared for a potential disaster, whether natural or manmade," Sink said. "We are committed to doing all we can to make sure we are trained, equipped and ready, and I thank the Department of Homeland Security for sup- porting us in that." The EOD unit, or bomb team, is part of the Bu- reau of Fire and Arson Investigations, and its .- members are trained to safely handle, transport,' dispose of and investigate explosive or incendi- ary incidents. The members also educate hun- dreds of state, local and civilian personnel every year. The bomb team is currently ranked num- ber 12 in the nation for the number of calls re- sponded to for all bomb teams and number two in the nation for state government bomb teams. The grant money will be used to buy a robot, bomb suits and other equipment for the bomb team as well as equipment for the division's Bu- reau of Forensic Fire and Explosives Analysis, which operates the state laboratory that sup- ports fire and arson investigations. The State Fire Marshal's Office has helped lo- cal fire departments get more than $32 million in homeland security funds for equipment and training. The funds have helped local agencies establish, train and equip 50 technical rescue teams, seven urban search and rescue teams and to better equip and train 28 existing regional hazardous materials teams. Homeland security funds also paid for the placement of a permanent urban search and res- cue training center at the Florida State Fire Col- lege that is the only "post-blast" collapse simula- tor providing fire and smoke conditions in the United States. As a statewide elected officer of the Florida Cabinet, Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink over- sees the Department of Financial Services, a mul- ti-division state agency responsible for manage- ment of state funds and unclaimed property, as- sisting consumers who request information and help related to financial services, and investigat- ing financial fraud. Sink also serves as the State Fire Marshal.

Fluoride is found in everything from drinking water to toothpaste. The public has long been told that fluoride is instrumental in preventing dental decay, but there are detractors who believe that fluoride is an unsafe substance that should not be used - especially for children's dental health. Fluoride has been studied extensively for more than 50 years, from when the U.S. decided its use should be part of a greater public health measure. It is one of the most extensively studied health supplements in the history of science. Major health organizations around the world have endorsed it as safe, including the American Dental Association, the American Medical Association, the Environmental Protection Agency, the World Health Organization, the National Research Council, and many others. So why the doubts? . Ii i. I've heard fluoride is toxic. Just like many other chemicals and substances, fluoride gets a bad name because it can be toxic in high doses. In fact, fluoride has been used in rat poisons and insecticides because it is dangerous at extremely high levels, none of which are ever present in dental health products. Many other seemingly mundane substances may also be unhealthy if consumed in large amounts, such as salt, over-the-counter medications, and even types of vitamins and minerals. Experts feel that there is no reason to condemn the use of something because it can be dangerous in high doses. Properly regulating use is more practical. If fluoride is so safe, why shouldn't my young child use toothpaste containing fluoride? Fluoride occurs naturally or is supplemented in public water supplies in many areas. Typically, the amount of fluoride present is 1 part per million. The sodium fluoride that is added to drinking water is exactly the same level as what occurs naturally the ideal level for optimum health. Young children who are unable or do not know how to spit out excessive toothpaste from brushing may end up consuming more than is healthy, especially for their small size. As such, unless a child is able to spit out toothpaste while brushing, he or she should not use a product that contains fluoride. There are many fluoride-free toothpastes on the market that can teach toddlers how to brush to get them ready for regular toothpaste. Why can too much fluoride be bad? Excessive consumption of fluoride can actually be detrimental to the very objects it is supposed to protect the teeth. Enamel fluorosis is the name of the condition caused by ,ingesting too much fluoride. In very minor cases it can result in white specs or imperfections on ,the surface of the teeth. In serious cases the tooth enamel may be rough, pitted, and hard to clean. Plus, defects can carry over to a child's permanent teeth. Sometimes when a water supply has a high level of fluoride naturally, children suffer from fluorosis. The safest way to consume the right amount of fluoride is through carefully monitored fluoridated water supplies or by drinking bottled fluoridated water. When my child starts using fluoride toothpaste, how much is recommended? A pea-sized amount or even smaller will provide enough cavity prevention and be safe, even if the child swallows a little toothpaste in the brushing process. Focus more on technique when teaching a child to brush rather than excessively coating brush bristles with toothpaste. What else can I do to safeguard my child's dental health? As soon as your child's first baby (or milk) teeth arrive, you should start practicing oral health. To limit the amount of dental caries or decay, do not send a child to bed with a bottle or sippy cup full of milk or juice. Additionally, do not dip pacifiers in honey or other sweet substances before administering to a child. This can cause damaging substances to remain close to your child's teeth for a long time. For very young children, wipe the gums and teeth with a wet rag or use a special rubber finger brush that is sold to clean off any bacteria and food that may be on baby's teeth. As children grow, explore the variety of soft-bristled toothbrushes and pastes that are available to clean teeth. Make sure you help toddlers who aren't very dexterous to brush properly. Most dentists and pediatricians also recommended that habits such as thumb sucking or pacifier use be discouraged after age 2 (many children give.up this behavior naturally around this time anyway). These habits may cause permanent teeth to later grow in improperly. Ophthalmology GREGORY D.

State completes first phase of purchase to protect Silver Springs TALLAHASSEE The state recently completed the first phase of a 4,471-acre purchase near Silver Springs as part of the Florida First Magnitude Springs Florida Forever project. A partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Marion County, the full 4,471 acres was purchased by TNC from Avatar Properties and will be resold to the state in two phases. With the first purchase of approximate, ly 2,677 acres complete, the remaining 1,793 acres will be purchased next fiscal year. "Silver Springs is a popular destination for visitors and an important part of Florida's heritage," said Governor Jeb Bush. "This purchase protects almost 4,500 acres, near one of the largest artesian springs in the world from development, and preserves the wa- ter quality of the spring and wildlife habitat for fu- ture generations." This purchase protects habitat for rare and endan- gered species, including the bald eagle, Florida black bear and gopher tortoise. With 13 known sinkholes, the, area acts as a pristine recharge area for one of the largest first magnitude springs in the nation. In ad- Two year program As the New Year begins, 26 agricultural produc- ers from North, central and South Florida will em- bark on a two-year program designed to position them as future leaders of the state's agricultural community. About six times a year they will inter- act with Florida Farm Bureau staff and leaders, legislators, regulators and other producers from Florida and other parts of the nation, getting prac- tical experience in leadership. The group comprises the latest class in the Flori- da Farm Bureau Federation's Young Farmer and Rancher Leadership Group, a program for rising leaders between the ages of 18 and 35. "Farm Bureau's success can be traced to the ex- ceptional leadership found among its active farmer members" said John Hoblick, who in Octo- ber was elected president of the Federation. "In or- der for the organization to maintain this heritage, it is vital for new leaders to be developed to guide the organization in the future." Hoblick, a Volusia County fern producer, is him- self a product of both the YF&R Young Farmer and Rancher Program and the Wedgeworth Leader- ship Group. The new members of the YF&R Leadership Group are: Chris and Kelly Lyons of Mayo, Stephen and Tracie Fulford of Monticello, Bryan and Wendi Jennings of White Springs, Charlie and Kelli Hofer of Ocala, Justin and Kelly Mosley of Middleburg, Clayton and Erin Archey of Oviedo, Kyle Story of Babson Park, Maurice and Leslie Turgeau of Lee, Josue Aponte of Ft. Myers, Jason McKendree of Brandenton, Trey Whitehurst III of Okeechobee, Ben and April Butler of Lorida, Roland Yee of Port St. Lucie, Weston and Leslie Pryor of Moore Haven, Lucas and Kendra Killam of Jay and Ben and Jamie Ellison of Pace. In addition to the Leadership Group, The Young Farmer and Rancher program promotes three con- tests designed to recognize leadership and in- volvement. They are the Outstanding YF&R Con- edition, Silver Springs has served as the setting for the "Sea Hunt" television series starring Lloyd Bridges and many feature films, including the film "Hoot" released in 2005. "This purchase is critical to the protection of one of the largest springs in the nation and one of the state's most famous natural resources," said Keith Foun- tain, director of land acquisition for The Nature Con- servancy. "Not only does this acquisition maintain the integrity of Silver Springs, the site is primarily rare sandhill habitat, which is home to many rare species." The Florida First Magnitude Springs Florida For- ever project, which the acquisition is a part of, focus- es on land near Florida's first magnitude springs that discharge more than 100 cubic feet of water per sec- ond. Florida's springs, scattered through northern and central Florida, contribute to the Floridan Aquifer and the drinking water of Florida's resi- dents. The springs, with clear, continuously flowing waters, are among Florida's most important natural resources and are famous tourist attractions. "With phase one complete, we are even closer.to ensuring that Silver Springs, which pumps out enough water every day to supply the entire city of New York, is protected," said Florida Department, of Environmental Protection Secretary Colleen M. Castille. "This acquisition was essential to maintain the health and wellbeing of the springs for many years to come." The Florida Springs Initiative, established by Gov- ernor Jeb Bush in 2001, is the first comprehensive, co- ordinated plan to restore and protect Florida's more than 700 freshwater springs. Last year the Florida Springs Initiative set aside more than $300,000 to protect spring ecosystems, water quality and flo\\w within Florida's award-winning state park system. The 10-year, $3 billion Florida Forever program es- tablished by Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Leg- islature conserves environmentally sensitive land, restores waterways and preserves important cultur- al and historical resources.

Winners are announced at the FFBF annual meeting each October. The members of the YF&R Leadership Group have committed to a two-year program. This pro- gram offers educational, professional and leader- ship development, said Rachel Kudelko, the FFBF staff member who coordinates the pro- gram. "The primary ob- jective of the program is to build a more effective organization, which will help to preserve this na- tion's heritage of free- dom and expand oppor- tunities in agriculture." An independent, non- profit grassroots organi- zation, Farm Bureau boasts a long list of ac- complishments at the lo- cal, state and national levels. The Farm Bureau Fed- eration is the state's largest general-interest agricultural association with more than 144,000 member family ies statewide. There are Farm Bureaus repre- senting 64 counties in Florida, where agricul- ture comprises a stable, vital leg of Florida's economy, rivaling the tourism industry in eco- nomic importance. Headquartered in Gainesville, the Federation is an independent, non-profit agricultural organization and is not as- sociated with any arm of the government.

I had to compete with four other people to win the position. At first I was just doing basic office work like filing reports and typing emails, but it has since grown into much more. Now I'm analyzing proposals and giving feedback to the president of the com- pany. He actually waits for my reports before making his decisions. Although I'm only there 10 hours per week, usually after classes, I believe I work harder than most of the full- time employees. That got me thinking. Why don't interns,. especially valuable ones I__ like me, get paid or have an "--- " executive office? We work really i( hard and, in many cases, have become an asset to the company. Shouldn't we be compensated for It? Cash: After just one year, you seem eager enough for your executive office, but I wouldn't rush to put your feet up on the desk just yet. Carry: While you have gained a lot of knowledge during your first year as an intern, hilie re', lill a lot more for you to learn. For starters, you need to finish THE CLASSIFIED GUYS Duane "Cash" lHolze & Todd "Carry" Holze ...I. I A:*,-" 02007 The clasoffled GuysP your college degree. Cash: As you know, the experience you've gained has pr.-hibl,. 1 [iiighit .L more about the industry than you could learn in class. However, working only ten hours per week doesn't put you on the same pay scale as' full-time employees . with years of experience. Carry: Intern programs are valuable to both the employer and the intern, but they do have a cost to the company. Although they may not pay you a salary, employers do invest a significant amount of time, energy and money to teach indi- viduals who want to learn. Cash: In exchange for the valuable experience, the interns offer their services. In your case, the company started you out on typing emails, but has shown you how to analyze proposals and produce reports for the president. Carry: Before you worry too much about getting paid right now, keep in mind that your hard work may lead to a job offer at the end of this semester. Cash: Or depending on your goals, the work experience may help you find a job at a higher pay scale. So for now, focus on finishing your internship and your college degree. Carry: And if you want to practice being an executive, then try it at home. Although be careful, your mom might not want your feet un on the desk either. 1s Famous Interns Are you the next famous intern? Believe it or not, ,mne 'I.di, "'s celebri- ties started out as interns. During her sophomore year at Termessee State University, Oprah Winfrey worked at WVTF-TV in Nashville. She was later hired to co-anchor the news program in 1973. Jody Foster interned the summer of 1982 at Esquire Magazine primarily doing office work. And before ajn'idin-. Harvard University, a young 17-year-old Bill Gates spent his summer as a congres- sional page. His entrepreneurship started early though, when he sold outdated cam- paigii bunons a-. ollecLrs' items. Working Out You have to start somewhere as proved by the life story of Chris Gardner. The recent movie and title of his own book, "Pursuit of Happiness", portray his life's journey from hardship and homelessness to an internship that helped make him a self-made millionaire..

This year, why not create new family memories by encouraging kids to lend a hand with menu planning and meal preparation?

The recently announced "Recipes Reinvented" contest provides added inspiration for recipe innovation.

Share your home-baked goodies with them, regardless of the distance. Bake, pack and let them fly! It's not as hard as you might think to pack and ship treats. In our test kitchens we've baked and shipped batch after batch of cookies and bars that will perform brilliantly when shipped on a long journey, whether it's cross-country or around the world. Shipping within the U.S. might take only a couple of days, but when you're shipping globally, or to troops in the Middle East, it could mean a matter of weeks. Rely on our test kitchen results, and use these tips for, successful baking and shipping. Baked goods that stand up to long distances, and the time it may take to reach their destination: May contain both chocolate and butterscotch. Both bar cookies and brownies are good choices, as they pack safely and can be baked easily in Jarge quantities. Contain no butter, margarine, peanut butter or nuts, all of which can go rancid over time or in high heat. Butter-flavored vegetable shortening is a good choice. Include use of white table sugar. Other sweeteners contain too much moisture and may mold. Should be wrapped well to withstand transport. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and pack in sturdy boxes, surrounding wrapped goodies with foam packaging material. Creative Pan Cookies were created especially for baking and sending to the troops, but of course they'll be welcome wherever they're shipped! Chewy, dense and satisfying with chocolate chips, oats and dried fruit, they carry a hint of spicy cinnamon. Other great- for-shipping cookie recipes, such as Butterscotch Scotchies, Double Chocolate Brownies and Irresistible Brownies, can be found at www.verybestbaking.c om. Consider that when shipping to U.S. troops in the Middle East, these countries prohibit any pork or pork by-products, any alcohol (including an ingredient like vanilla) and the spices allspice and nutmeg, which are considered aphrodisiacs. If you include a card stating that your baked goods were made following these guidelines, it will facilitate the package's trip into the country.

'I ~ - (Family Features) Gardening is dirty business, but that's a good thing because building healthy soil is essential for growing productive flowers, vegetables, and herbs. One of the best ways to improve your soil is to add compost. While not high in fertilizer value, compost has many benefits,-including making nutrients more available to plants, improving water drainage on clay soils, and bin. Cover the bin to prevent animals from entering and to keep the pile from getting too wet. The pile will heat up as it decomposes. Once the pile has cooled, mix and moisten the-materials, and the pile should heat up again. Repeat this mixing process a few times, and in a few months you should have finished compost to use in your garden. Charlie Nardozzi, a nationally recognized garden writer, book author, speaker and radio and television personality, has appeared on HGTV, PBS and Discovery Channel television networks.

Fall is a great time to make or buy compost and add it to your garden beds. Buying Compost First you need to know how much compost to add. For existing flower and vegetable gardens, work in a 1- to 2-inch- thick layer of compost in spring or fall. For a new garden on poor soil, add a thicker layer. The easiest way to apply compost to a small garden is to buy bags. Bagged compost is usually sterilized and free of weed seeds. While more expensive than buying in bulk, buying compost in bags is more convenient. For larger gardens, buy compost in bulk. Many garden centers, nurseries, and even municipalities sell bulk compost. Get to know your compost before buying it. The compost should be dark colored with an earthy smell and some small chunks of organic matter. Avoid foul-smelling compost or compost with.. large amounts of, undecomposed material. To haul it, consider finding a friend with a pick-up truck to share a load. Making Your Own The cheapest way to get compost is to make your own. "Not only do you get the satisfaction of knowing what's in your compost, you save money by not paying to haul your yard waste away, and help the environment by not filling up the local landfill," says Chip Tynan, horticulturist and composting teacher at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. Fall is the perfect time to make compost. Your yard is loaded with compostable materials, such as grass clippings, leaves, vegetable debris, and old plants. To build a compost pile, choose a spot near your garden or kitchen so you can easily add organic matter. Construct or buy a 3- to 4- foot-wide and tall container. Compost bins are typically constructed of wire, plastic, or wood. Add a 4- to 6-inch-thick layer of brown material (chopped leaves, straw, hay) on the bottom of the pile. Add a 2- to 4-inch- thick layer of green materials (grass clippings, vegetable plants, vegetable kitchen scraps) on top of the brown layer. (Avoid adding any meats or oils since these will attract animals.) Alternate layers, moistening each one until the pile fills the 41 1, Tl U1jITE1 WENf COMHING OUT SWINSINE WITH INEREDIRIE SAVINGS aN EVERY NEW 8 USED EIICIE IN STOCK!
