THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 Pnrre 9A THIE MAYOn FREE PRESS. Mavo, FL t ~~~ : ~ v "`"` W9 ~P~1. s ~~' ~?;" Heart Matters "I have a 'heart' problem, maybe you can help me. My boyfriend is so jealous that I can't talk with any of my friends or spend time with them. What should I do? Please help!" How easy is it to solve other peo- pie's 'heart problems' ?! I received this email from a friend of mine in college, and wondered why she. ,. would even need to ask about this Angie Land guy. My first response was "Run, Girlfriend, RUN!" On.second thought though, if the answer were that obvious to her, she wouldn't be ask- ing with such urgency. No doubt about it, what matters to our hearts are those "all too fragile," relationships in our lives. Rela- tionships bring the greatest joy to our hearts and the deepest pain and regret. Maybe even today you are experiencing the joy of a healthy relationship or the pain and frustration of one that isn't working. Whether with our spouses, parents, children, sib- lings, friends, co-workers, and many others, the rela- tionships with significant people in our lives deeply affect the quality of the life we live. The Bible echoes this conclusion in Proverbs 4:23 "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." (KJV) "Keeping our hearts" is an in- struction to guard over the relationships in our lives to keep them healthy and going in the right direction. To keep our hearts with diligence offers an explana- tion of how this works: by steady, earnest and ener- getic effort. In other words, real relationships are not fairy tales and there are no short cuts;.those only work in the movies! The matters of our heart are the issues of life! The word issue is defined, "to be a consequence or final outcome." How well we guard our hearts today, will determine the consequences we face and the final out- come of the relationships that affect our lives today, tomorrow and the rest of our tomorrows! In order to guard our hearts well, we must begin by understanding where ownership of this relation- ship begins and ends. These lines are called bound- aries and they allow us to experience freedom by 'keeping in the good and keeping out the bad. They also tell me what my responsibility is and what it is not, where I have power and where I have no power, and if I want others to respect my territory, I must re- spect theirs. This protects the trust and respect that is essential for love to grow. Next time.let's begin looking at how to make simple changes to put these boundaries in place and begin .improving the relationships in our lives!.: Blessings!

Grandparent sayings Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild. -Welsh Proverb A grandmother is a baby-sitter who watches the kids instead of the television. -Author Unknown ,': -,' , *^ r. **: ^ ',- - United Way of Suwannee Valley will celebrate its 40th anniversary as it kicks off its 40th annual community fundraising campaign. The event will be conducted at Lake City Community College's Pine Square, an outdoor pavilion which lends an ap- propriate atmosphere for the family-friendly celebration. T O I "United Way of Suwannee Valley is all about families," said John Kasak, president of the United Way of Suwan- nee Valley Board of Directors. "Our United Way com- munity impact initiatives and. affiliated agencies focus on services to residents ranging from our youngest citizens to our seniors. And all are invited and encouraged to join our community in celebrating our local United Way and in supporting our annual community fundraising campaign." The local United Way was incorporated October 9, 1968. Local attorney S. Austin Peele served as the 1968- 1969 president during the first year when the campaign team set a goal just short of $40,000 and raised slightly more than $29,000. The list of past presidents and former campaign chairs mirrors the list any long-time resident would recognize as community leaders. Each received a special letter of invitation to the 40th birthday celebra- tion. In cases where past leaders are now deceased, fami- ly members received these letters of invitation. "Our local United Way has progressed over.these past 40 years from a completely volunteer run organization providing a community-wide fundraising campaign on behalf of the affiliated agencies to a professionally staffed community impact organization, which looks beyond the immediate need of supporting funding of community hu- man service agencies to addressing root causes of com- munity needs," said another local attorney, Tom Brown, who was a signer of the local United Way's articles of in- corporation in 1968 and remains an active volunteer. "We sincerely hope many of our community members who have contributed to the success of our United Way will join in our 40th anniversary celebration." Brown served as president of United Way six one-year terms between 1974 and 1990. He currently serves as chair of the Planning Committee, an Executive Commit- tee level position on the Board of Directors. Due to Brown's long-standing commitment of service to our community through United Way, he was honored with a lifetime board membership. He will be among the founding fathers featured on a video to be shown at the September 13 campaign kick-off and birthday celebra- tion. The video, produced by Lake City Community College and sponsored by PCS Phosphate White Springs, pro- vides glimpses into the history of our local United Way from the perspective of the first agency director, Phyllis Whitaker, and the first full-time executive director, Ear- line Parker. Both Peele and Brown, along with past pres- idents Ozell Graham, Susan Summers and Vern and Maureen Lloyd, cite in the video their views on the histo- ry of our United Way, its role in the community and their recollections of their years of service. STEL is sponsoring the use of the Pine Square facilities.

"Most of our United Way of Suwannee Valley affiliated agencies provide services to residents of all three counties," said Flanagan. "Only a few are county G H T specific, such as the Suwannee County Police Athletic League, the Hamilton County Council on Aging or Columbia County Senior Services. All of the commu- nity impact initiatives address needs of thetri-county area." The Communications Committee, chaired by volunteer Mike McKee, built on the national United Way theme of "what matters" to establish a local theme of "Celebrate 'what matters'" for the birthday celebration and 2007- 2008 kick-off event. "We will celebrate how our United Way has impacted 'what matters' in our community," said McKee. "In addition to conducting the annual community fundraising campaign which the birthday celebration kicks off, our.United Way is the organization which brought the Community Foundation and the Food Bank of Suwannee Valley to our community. Volunteers, with staff leadership from our United Way, developed the Suwannee Valley Long Term Recovery Committee to as- sist at-risk residents in their recovery from the 2004 hur- ricanes by providing home repairs or mobile home re- placements utilizing grant funds secured by our United Way. Our United Way's service to our community as the lead agency for the homeless coalition continues as does its Success By 6 early childhood initiative, which had to be sidelined until the completion of the hurricane re- covery efforts." Current initiatives also include the cultivation of the Suwannee Valley Community Organization Active in Disaster (COAD), transition of the Suwannee Valley Long Term Recovery Committee to a long-term recovery organization and United Way's efforts to implement 2-1- 1 information and referral services. Most recently, Unit- ed Way of Suwannee Valley, after a demonstration of community stakeholder support, embarked on develop- ing a volunteer center in support of community agencies as well as school and library programs utilizing volun- teers by successfully applying for an Americorp*VISTA position through Volunteer Florida, The Governor's Commission on Volunteerjsm. Guests attending United Way's 40th annual communi- ty campaign kick-off anniversary celebration will also be treated to a performance by the Lake City Community College Choir, which is always a highlight of the annual campaign kick-off event. Dinner, which will be served at 6 p,m., will be catered by Mississippi Management. Pub- lix, Live Oak and Lake City, contributed huge birthday cakes for dessert. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. The cost of the meal is $10. Reservations are required. Contact the United Way office at 386-752-5604. SAFETY Keep Your Farm Runnihg Smoothly.

Around 1975 he and his wife Linda and their two daughters, Melissa and Angie, moved to Hatch Bend, which is the ancestral home of Linda's family for some four generations back, that I have known. Sammie began work with Owens- Illinois paper company forestry divi- sion, on September 3, 1968. He retired August 31, 2007 as a Technician Forester. During those thirty-nine (39) years he operated many types of machinery * such as skidders, bull-dozer, bucket truck, excavator, tree harvester, tree shaker (seed harvester), chipper and' road grader just to name a few. Other jobs included fire fighting, clearing land, building and maintain- ing roads, hauling equipment, hauling logs, plowing fire lines, control burns, cruising timber, over-seeing leased lands as well as many other duties and responsibilities. Though the original employer (Owens-llinois) sold their lands and mills in this area, and though there were numerous RIFs (reduction in forces) Sammie was always retained, no doubt because of his hard work, dependability, willingness to do what- ever needed to be done, and because of his high moral character, influences and honesty. 'Sammie and family are long-time members of Hatch Bend Baptist Church where Sammie has served as deacon for many years. It is a pleasure and an honor to call Sammie Smith "my friend." Donald C.

Social Security warns about potential scams The Social Security Administration recently is- sued a warning about several scams that have surfaced throughout the southeast. Social Secu- rity has received many reports about telephone calls and home visits from people who falsely claim to be Social Security employees. In each case, the person attempted to obtain personal in- formation, such as a Social Security or bank ac- count number,'from the Social Security recipient. Scam artists who identify themselves as Social Security employees have used a variety of ap- proaches to obtain personal information. In one case, a caller said that Social Security was experi- encing a power outage and needed to verify per- sonal information. In another, the caller posed as an employee who needed to verify the per- son's direct deposit information. In a third scam, Social Security recipients were told that their monthly benefit payments were being cut because they inherited a house from a relative, an event which would not result in a reduction of Social Security benefits. To help make the fraud seem authentic, the caller then placed the person on hold and played recordings similar to messages used by Social Security. When the caller came back on the line, the recipients were told that proceeds from the sale of the house would be sent to them if delinquent taxes were paid. Social Security advises to always take precau- tions when giving out personal information. You should never provide your. Social Security num- ber or other personal information over the tele- phone unless you initiated the contact, or you're confident that the person you are giving the in- formation to will use the information as you in- tended for it to be used. If in doubt, do not re- lease information without first verifying the va- lidity of the call. If there is any doubt about someone who claims to be a Social Security representative, contact your local Social Security office or call Social Security's toll-free number, 1-800-772- 1213, to verify the legitimacy of the call. The Lake City Social Security office is located at 1086 S W Main Boulevard, suite 101. The local tele- phone number is (386) 755-3227. The U S Office of Inspector General and the Social Security Administration investigate all re- ports of suspicious activity relating to Social Se- curity scams. To report suspicious activity relat- ing to Social Security,, call the OIG Hotline at 1- 800-269-0271.

Update on Woman's Club happenings submitted by Pam Ward The GFWC Mayo Woman's Club showed their appreciation fok the many community mem- bers and businesses that supported their efforts during the past club year by hosting an "Apprecia- tion Dinner" at the end of the club year. Special invi- tations were sent and members worked on a pro- gram to ensure that the evening was brief and re- laxing, informative and of benefit to all attendees. Tables were decorated with special centerpieces from the club's "Cuppa of Kindness" mugs which held specially selected plants. A gift card was at- tached which read "The Mayo Woman's Club thanks you for helping to grow a community that cares." The concept of passing on the cuppa as a 'pay it forward' gesture was shared with the guests later in the program. Guests were greeted by club hostesses who direct-' ed our guests to view the . many club exhibits demon- strating what their contri- butions helped our club to accomplish. Members also served as table hostesses who introduced their table guests during the program. Our guests included busi- ness partners, government officials, and community volunteers. Winners of the FFWC poetry and short story competition were also rec- ognized. The students were awarded an addition- al cash prize from our club for their achievements. During the meal, members and guests were treated to a power point presentation which highlighted many of the activities in which the dub has participated, ex- tending from local to worldwide areas of need. The title of the presenta- -n was "Caring & Shar- ing" which demonstrated how dollars and time do- nated through community support helped to serve broad reaching needs. One kindness leads to another. In February, dub ' members Donna Ellis and Charlotte O'Steen led our club in a project that would assist the Dept of Children and Family Ser- vices with children's 'satchels that were used when children needed to , be removed from crisis sit- uations at a moments no- tice. Approximately 70 satchels were sewn by these club members. Each bag was filled with toys, books, crayons, coloring books, blankets and clothing to help comfort the children when they arrived at their new residence. Then in May at the Community Ap- preciation Dinner, Club Vice President, ;" Marie O'Steen was , made aware that this agency was in dire need of diapers, clothing and toiletry items for infant and children clients. Our dub held a "diaper shower" in June which raised over $460 in donated items. The van was full to the brim! What an awesome way to show "Caring & Sharing"! As the 2007-2008 dub year begins, the first major project for the Woman's Club will be to host the Pi- oneer Day Art Show on Saturday, October 13. The theme for Pioneer Day is the "Pioneer Connection." We invite you to come by the art show held in the Lafayette State Bank lobby to view the exhibits and vote for the "People's Choice" awards. If you would like more informa- tion about the art show, please contact Marie O'S- teen at 294-2055 or Vikki Wilcox at 294- 3635. Club members are look- ing forward to a year full of "caring & sharing" in our community.

SEFPTEMBER 13.2007s DA(x u r- .IF MAYOI F- -P aFRFE" PREF M VoFH A SP B 12 O.A. Winburn, Jr. ScrubHammock@aol.com ne night around 1955 . or so I was ,. traveling east 0 near Branford ' in route to Gainesville where i I was seeking some of that higher education after being discharged from a four year enlistment in the US Air Force and I noticed someone walking towards Mayo that I believed to be Jessie and I turned around and stopped and he told me that he was heading to Mayo to see "Mama" and that she had not been getting along good so I went back to Mayo and tobk him to his Mama's house. Jessie retired and moved back to Mayo several years ago and has since passed away. Those other boys are all gone too, I believe but I'm not sure about "Frog" and Jimmy Ray. I forgot to men- tion that one son, Carlton, died quite young from a malady from which there was no known care at the time known as "waterhead." Every effort was made and existing medical relief sought but nothing was available for this youngster, which was.a tragedy. After moving to Mayo, Mr. Elmore bought property near the Santerfeits as previously mentioned. He also bought the old bottling plant that sat nearby, unused as far as I can remember but there was a shelter on the front by the road and under that shelter sat a vintage automobile; I believe it may have belonged to Steve and after Ella Mae told me. about him being injured in an automobile accident I began to wonder if that might not be his car or the car of his father and that it had been sitting there all this time because of that ac- cident. One such scenario might have been in the cranking of that old car. Youngsters aren't familiar with the method of cranking the first autos but it was a manual operation and the engine was turned over by hand with a crank in front of the engine where it fit into a slot in the pulley connected to the drive shaft. There was no battery and the first lights were carbide I be- lieve and some used kerosene. Electric lights and starters came along much later. From experience I know that when attempting to crank an automobile such as this one that it was possible for the engine to kick back and could be the source of some serious injuries. I have wondered if maybe Steve didn't suffer such an accident but there is nothing to support this. Anyway, that old car caught the attention of Buddy Gainey and one of the Lewis boys. They arranged to buy it and I have no idea what the going price was but I expect it was quite reasonable, probably in the range of $25.00 or so. That car, as I remember didn't show that it had been used very much, even the' leather on the seats was still in usable condition. These boys, as it turns out had quite a penchant for automo- biles and they soon had that old car running. They drove that car all around but I doubt that they ever got a license for it as I never saw it on the streets or highways and I did ride in it on occasion, especially to the swimming holes. I can remember seeing that old car loaded to the point that it could hardly start to' rolling without a little help which was quick to come from the passengers. I suspect that they found it hard to buy repair parts for that car and it soon fell into dis- Come early for the best choices!

Cossette Lewis, sister to the Lewis boy who was in- volved with Edsel Gainey in the automobile affair had a younger brother. Glen and I were classmates and Glen showed an inclination to be mechanically in- clined and he was usually busy at something in the shop during vocational ag class and even after school until the shop was closed for the day. I understand that Glen had passed on and that of the three boys in that family, there is only one sur- vivor and he lives somewhere in Duval County. The other brother, the oldest, was Ernest and he served in the Army during WWII and worked around Mayo for a while after the war. I remember that he worked at the ice house at one time when Mr. Barney O'steen was running that business. Refrigerators didn't become a common house- hold appliance until after WWII and de- livering ice to'the homes was a going business. Folks had an "ice box" that had to be recharged with a block of ice every few days and the ice man would deliver that ice and place it in the box and collect a few coins, about a penny a pound, for the delivered ice. Most households used a 25 pound block and the ice man would pick off a block and grab it with the tongs and away he would go. Sometimes he would sling that block of ice on his shoulder where he had placed a burlap bag if the distance to the ice box justified it, more especially if it had to be taken upstairs such as at the Ware apartments. It was a common sight to see youngsters who happened to be playing nearby, re- trieve a sliver of ice from the back of the delivery truck on a hot summer day and enjoy it's cooling qualities as a brief respite on those warm days. The ice was manufactured in another city and brought to Mayo where it was placed in a refrigerated "ice house" in large pieces which were probably 100 pound blocks and had been formed in such a way that it was easily divided into 25 pound blocks with a jab or two of an ice pick..........

Finally the time of year we've been waiting for is here the beginning of football season, and better yet, opening day of hunting season, specifically archery. Archery season provides a great opportunity to take a trophy whitetail and is ar- guably one of the best times to 'do so, along with hunting the rut. If you're stealthy enough and have done your homework, you've got a good'chance of having a nice one walk out in front of you. Florida's divided into three hunting zones, and you'll need to know which zone you'll be hunting in because season dates vary. Hunting season comes in first in the South Hunting Zone, where archery season begins Sept. 8 and ends Oct. 7. Next up is the Central Zone, which runs Sept. 22 - Oct. 21. In the Northwest Hunting Zone, archery sea- son begins Oct. 13 and ends Nov. 11. To hunt during archery season, you'll need a Florida hunting license and an archery permit. If you're a Florida resi- dent, a hunting license costs Walker Creek Bethel Baptist church fundraiser Walker Creek Baptist church located on State Road 249 (Old Town Highway) Hatch Bend will hold a fund-raiser on Saturday, September 15.

Non- residents may pay $46.50 for a 10-day license or $151.50 for 12 months. The archery permit costs $5 for in-state and out-of-staters. Anyone planning to hunt one of Florida's many wildlife management areas (WMAs) must purchase a management area permit for $26.50. All of them are available at county tax collectors' of- fices, retail outlets that. sell hunting and fishing sup- plies, or by calling toll-free 1-888-HUNT-FLORIDA or clicking MyFWC.com/li- cense. The most common game to take during archery sea- son are deer and wild hog. During this period, deer of either sex are legal game, regardless of antler size (ex- cept for spotted fawns). The daily bag limit on deer is two. Bag limits on WMAs can differ, so con- sult the area's brochure first. Wild hogs are considered livestock on private lands and with landowner per- mission can be hunted year-round with no bag or size limits. On-most WMAs, there's no bag or size limits, and hogs are legal to take during any hunting season except spring turkey. On a few WMAs, limits do ap- ply, so again check the area brochure. In addition to hunting big game, it's also legal to shoot gobblers and bearded turkeys during archery sea- son. Only one can be taken per day and there's a two- bird fall-season limit. It's against the law to hunt turkeys in Holmes County during this period, and you can't shoot turkeys while they're on the roost, over bait, when you're within 100 yards,of a game-feeding station or with the aid of recorded turkey calls. If you're quite the marks- man, gray squirrel, quail and rabbit are three other species legal to take during archery season, and there's a daily bag limit of 12 for each. Only bows may be used during archery season no crossbows allowed, except for hunters with a disabled crossbow permit. Bows must have a minimum draw weight of 35 pounds, and hand-held releases are permitted. For hunting deer, hog and turkey, broadheads must have at least two sharpened edges with a minimum width of 7/8 inch. Legal shooting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. Ex- cept for turkeys, you're per- mitted to take resident game over corn or soybeans on private land, as long as, the game-feeding station's been established for at least six months and maintained year-round. It's against the law to use such bait on WMAs. Some things you can't do during archery season in- clude possessing firearms, using explosive.or drug-in- jecting arrows, using bows equipped with electronic computational or laser sights and possessing a bow, on an airboat in Miami- ' Dade.County, .. You can't use dogs to hunt deer or hogs during archery season, but you can use bird-dogs if quail hunt- ing, Otherwise, the only time you can have a dog in the woods while hunting is on a leash, and you're using it to trail wounded game. Here's hoping all your preparation and persistence pays off and wishing you luck on taking that monster buck. As always, have fun, hunt safely and ethically, and we'll see you in the woods! Every archery season, Tony Young looks forward to getting a jump on the season and putting in some early-morning bowhunting sessions with good friends. rMUC A T I FMF- VIMI % RE PREFF- MV-.r v FLU A S T E 1 2 Health tip s from Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource How much water should you drink?

While drinking water is often the best way to re- place lost fluids, other liq- uids including milk, tea, soup, fruit juice and sports drinks also are effective. One caution: beverages with caffeine or alcohol can increase fluid output, making it more difficult to stay adequately hydrated. For a healthy adult, fluid intake is probably ade- quate when one rarely ex- periences thirst and when urine is colorless or slight- ly yellow. As adults get older, they may experience less thirst, so it's advised to drink before thirst sets in. Signs of inadequate fluid intake may include dry mouth, headache, light- headedness, little or no uri- nation and constipation. Olive Oil Reaping its health benefits Among cooking oils, olive oil is touted as one of the healthiest. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, which can lower total cholesterol and low-densi- ty lipoprotein (LDL or "bad"_ cholesterol in the blood. Choosing olive oil is a bit like choosing wine. There are different grades and some are more flavorful and offer more health ben- efits. The August issue of Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource offers tips on choosing an olive oil. Virgin, extra-virgin or refined: Virgin and extra- virgin olive oils tend to be higher in polyphenols (a powerful antioxidant) than are the more processed, re- fined olive oils.

A re- cent study comparing vir- gin olive oil, refined olive oil and the combination of both found that virgin olive oil appears to have greater heart-health bene- fits. Freshness: The fresher the oil, the greater the an- tioxidant properties. Quali- ty olive oils generally in- clude a packaging date. At purchase, it should be. no more than one year old. Price/flavor: Olive oils run the gamut in prices. Shoppers could opt for lower cost, less flavorful virgin olive oil for cooking and invest in the pricier and more flavorful virgin or extra-virgin oils for use in vinaigrettes or drizzling over salads or side dishes.

Other symptoms can include tin- gling or numbness in the fingers, especially at night. Over time, the hand can become weak or numb. Too much time at the key-' board often is blamed for this, condition. But any ac- tivity that requires the re- peated flexing and extend- ing of the tendons in the hand or wrist or repeated and prolonged gripping can cause the problem. Ganglion cyst: These ap- pear as raised fluid-filled lumps near the wrist or finger joints. They are non cancerous and typically de- velop along the tendons or joints of the wrist and hands. Often, they are painless, but not always. Ganglion cysts also can cause pain, weakness or numbness in the hand if they put pressure on nerves near a joint. The cause of ganglion cysts is- n't cear. The risk may be The Garder 4.. L..IJ A7 great in people with os- teoarthritis or with injured joints or tendons in the hands. Trigger finger: This con-, dition stenosing tenosyn-' ovitis is typically a painful condition in whicl one finger or thumb catch- es in the bent position. In severe cases, the finger may become locked in bent or straight position. The cause is a thickening of the' liner, or sheath, which sut- rounds the tendon in the affected finger. Trigger fin- ger tends to be more com- mon in people whose work or hobby requires repeti- tive gripping motions, or those who have rheuma- toid arthritis, diabetes or hypothyroidism. Tendonitis of the wrist: The most common symp-, toms of wrist tendonitis, called de Quervain's tenosynovitis, are pain and swelling about a half-inch, back from the base of the thumb. Pinching, grasping. or other thumb, forearm or both. Wrist tendonitis is caused by irritation and swelling of the sheath that surrounds the major ten- dons connecting the wrist and lower thumb. It can re- sult from overuse of the , wrist and thumb together. Often called the "new mother's disease, it is com-' mon in new parents who pick up infants with their thumbs out and wrists bend backwards. Treatment for these con- ditions should start with talking to a doctor about pain, swelling or discom- fort in the hands and wrists. Depending on the. diagnosis, treatment op- tions include self-care (ap- plying heat and cold), physical therapy, medica- tions to reduce pari and swelling and surgery. n Center, Inc "7L4 A ,,,,I IU IIUIU htl MIAnIlUal Antique Show and Sale The Garden Center, Inc.

That was the scenario for the Lafayette football Hornets junior varsity team last week when they and the junior Trenton Tigers met on the gridiron. When the dust had all cleared it was coach Jimmy Blankenship's ballclub coming away with a thrilling 20-14 win. Carlos Negrete and Deandre Devor combined for 154 yards in leading the ground attack of the Hornets. Negrete managed 89-yards on 11 carries before he was injured and had to sit out the rest of the game from the third quarter on. Devor carried the ball 10 times for 65-yards. Quarterback Arthur Sellers completed seven of 11 passes for 81- yards passing. The Hornets netted 282- yards of total offense. The two teams played to a 14-14 tie when regulation time expired. In the overtime, Lafayette won the toss and elected to take posses- sion first in the extra period. From the 10- yard'line, it took only"' " two play for the Hor- nets to cross the end zone and a 20-14 lead.

Although the sparring was one-sided af- ter the Hornets evened their overall record to 1-1 after a 42-14 knockout of Baldwin, still the host school threw some pretty hard punches until the Hornets took over the game. Two-time all-stater Chad Hempstead was his old self as he used the air ways in guiding his ball cub to their initial win of the sea- son. Hempstead tossed for three touchdowns and to- taled 248-yards on 12 of 16 passing. Jamal Reid was on the receiving end for one score and finished with seven catches for 142 yards. Senior Matt Milton showed he was back at 100 percent after last season's ending injury. Milton hauled in two passes for two touch- downs and finished with 78 yards on three catches. The Hornets controlled the first to quarters as the Baldwin defense had no answers to the balanced at- tack of Lafayette. Eric McIntyre rushed for 137 yards on 16 carries and scored two touchdowns. Lafayette scored two, touchdowns in each of the first two periods taking a 28-7 lead to the locker , room at half time. It was a 14-0 game at the first stop with Baldwin scoring ltie in the second period. The Hornets added two more scores in the third period . and cruised the rest of the way. Sergio Perez had one car- ry for a 39-yard touch- down. "It was a great win for us," said Hornet coach Joey Pearson. "We had a lot of people who contributed to the win. We are excited About Friday's game with Dixie County." It was not all offense for the Hornets as they sparkled on the defensive side of the football as well. The Hornet defense bottled up the running game of Baldwin led by senior line- backer Kyle Pearson. Pear- son came up with two big interceptions and finished with eight tackles. Casey Brewer solidified the de- fensive line with three tack- les for losses. He also had eight tackles in the win. Thomas Byrd picked up 10 tackles and J.D. Richarson had two tackles for losses to go with his seven tack- les. The Hornets return to the gridiron tomorrow night when they host Dixie County. in a 7:30 start.

In the opening match, Bell struggled on defense, failing to get strong re- turns allowing the ball to go out both ways. The Lady Hornets enjoyed a 12-5 lead when the ball went to the Lady Hornets side of the court with Barnes coming to serve. Barnes aced on points 14, 17, 18, 19, 22 and 24 before getting game point on a bad return by Bell. Bridget Powe gave a good performance for the Lady Hornets with two aces in game one and one in game two. O'Steen had four point serves and Ellen Lashley had an ace for' point 18 in the second match. Lydia Land had a couple of nice digs for the Lady Hornets in-both matches. The Lafayette junior var- sity team will entertain Bronson tonight with the first serve scheduled for 5 p.m. JULIA BARNES WAS almost a one man wrecking team in leading the Lafayette junior varsity volleyball team to wins in both matches against Bell.

Hornets Continued From Page 9A 55-yards and a Hornet touchdown. Lafayette led 6-0 at the 8:43 mark of the second quarter. Trenton put together a good drive that took them 66-yards on 18 plays that concluded when Corbin Pugh scored from 6-yards out to tie the game.at 6-6 with 1:41 to play in the half. That is the way the first half ended. Trenton had four flags for 20-yards in penalties in the drive. On first possession for Lafayette at the onset of the third period, the Hor- nets went in front 14-6 with 3:42 to play when De- vor scored from 4-yards out and added the two- point conversion to give the Hornets an eight point advantage. Lafayette stopped the Tigers at the Hornet 26- yard line early in the fourth quarter and looked as if they could run the clock out. But with less than seven minutes to play in regulation, the Tigers got excellent field position when Negrete was back to punt but decided to run the football instead. He was caught in no-man's land and brought down at the Hornets 10-yard line. Stokes carried the football to the one where he crossed into the end zone for a score and a 14-12 game. Smith ran the con- version to knot the score at 14-14. The Hornets put together a nice drive of their own only to see it end at the Tigers 10-yard line. On a Devor carry, he coughed the ball up with Trenton come away with the loose ball stalling the Lafayette drive. The Hornets did get possession once more in the final quarter but with 26 seconds to play, did not have time to run but one play. The drive ended at the Trenton 36-yard line.

Heart meia Dietr I~r~ u' * How to avoid the dangers of pollution when weatherizing your home a t Most homes have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution. Some of these sources can include smoke, dust, pet dander, radon, mold and other pollutants which can pose serious health risks and contribute to respiratory disease, asthma and even lung cancer. Fortunately, there are steps that you can take both to reduce the risk from these existing sources and to prevent new problems from occurring. Here are some tips to consider: Operate bathroom fans, if present, to remove moisture from showers (these fans should be ducted to the outside of the home), or simply crack the window to prevent moisture buildup. When a wood fire is present, a window should always be kept open especially in a tightly sealed, energy efficient house. Invest in a quality range hood that will offer high- performance ventilation to effectively eliminate pollution, excess moisture and gas emissions in the'1 kitchen from every day cooking.. Install a carbon monoxide detector on every floor of the house. Make sure a home's roof and windows are in good shape. Water leaks, condensation and elevated levels of humidity may not be visible, but moisture in interior wall spaces can encourage mold growth and structural degradation. For optimal air quality, Gagnon recommends you invest in an air exchanger system that will both filter out harmful pollutants and distribute fresh tempered air throughout the home, such as the air exchanger system from Venmar. It combines heat recovery ventilation and HEPA filtration. The HEPA filter works to trap airborne allergens and assists in distributing fresh air throughout the home. More details on the benefits of ventilation and filtration are available at www.venmar.ca. To place an ad on this page, please call Nancy at 386-362-1734 Ext. 103 Ophthalmology GREGORY D.

What we often neglect during this process, however, are the steps we should also take to minimize the dangers from pollution sources inside our homes. SIn the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within Homes can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. According to the SEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA), people i spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, especially during the cold winter months. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors Than outdoors. -Measures such as installing storm windows, weather stripping, caulking and blown-in wall Insulation can reduce the amount of outdoor air infiltrating into a home. Consequently, after winterizing, concentrations of indoor air pollutants :from sources inside the home can increase. SAccording to Gerry Gagnon, product and market 'manager for Venmar Ventilation, first clues of poor Indoor air in your home are the signs of inadequate ventilation, such as stuffy air, moisture condensation on cold surfaces, or mold and ,mildew growth. "It's crucial that additional weatherization measures should not be undertaken until these problems have been corrected," he ,advised. In most cases, homes have an overly humid Basement that breeds molds and other unhealthy 'micro-organisms. 3 U4bdf-r 324 PAGE 6C, SEPTEMBER 12 -13, 2007 NORTH FLORIDA FOCUS ^miw~~sO ( aete Continued From Page 4C art to the public.

He no longer approves of the dangerous world of gardening after I fell off a stepstool while pruning and fractured my right wrist. Since I'm right-handed, he has to do all of the chores around the house. I'd feel sorry for him, but I do them everyday so he should be able to handle it for a while. With all of this time on my hands, at least the left one anyway, I sat down to enjoy reading the news- paper. That's when I noticed an old British car for sale. You know, the ones where the steering wheel is on the right side. That got me think- ing. Most cars are built for " right-handed people. We " even drive on the right ; ^/ side of the road. Why did America choose to favor righties? I'm guessing there is a good reason. Carry: Although fracturing your v rist is very unfortunate. \ ou'\e defi- rarely found the bright side to sour accident. There are a lot of wives who w ish their husband \would take oier the chores fora % hlle. Cash: It seems gardening around your house is a hazardous acti\ ity Maybe you should add pruning to the list of extreme sports like snowboarding. Who knew you were so adventurous? Carry: Kidding aside, you're learn- ing what left-handed people have to deal with everyday. Only about 10% of the population is left-handed so most products are designed for the majority who use their right hand. Cash: Unless you find items specifi- cally designed for left-handed use, peo- ple learn to deal with ihe inconvenience of using basic things like scissors, hand tools, or even fishing rods Carry: Automobiles follow a similar trend, catering to the majority. However, the initial decision to dri\ e on the right-hand side of the road dates back to long before automobiles. Cash: The first law go\eming dri% ing on the right appeared in Pennsylvania in 1792. o, er 100 years before the first automobile. It's believed that after gaining independence from Britain, the United States wanted to sever all ties, including the driving pattern, and switched to driving on the right. Carry: Regardless of how many things are designed for right-handed people, it's likely> you'll become more proficient at using .our left hand in the next few weeks. Cash. Ho\wev\er, ne\t time you go out in the garden to do some pruning, maybe you should dress like extreme athletes. %ear a helmet and some wrist guards! Right of Way Although we've always driven on the right side of the road, the steering wheel hasn't always been'on the left. When automobiles were first intro- duced, the steering wheel was often placed on' the right side to follow with the tradition of horse drawn carriages. However, it was quickly learned that' having the driver sit closer to the cen- terline of the road was more practical to judge spacing when oncoming cars: approached. In addition, this also allowed passengers of the car to unload onto the sidewalks rather than exit into the middle of the street. Think Lefty A recent Australian study claims that left-handed people are quicker thinkers. When playing % ideo games. dri% ing in hea\% traffic or playing spons, \%e process a lot of information using both hemispheres of our brain. Left-handed people tend to process that information - 'faster than right-handed people. The study suggests that left-handers are faster simply because the\ are forced to use both sides of the brain more often. Got a question, funny story. or just want to give us your opinion?

Irreconcilable Differences I wasn't sure about a blind date, but my sister set me up with one ofher co-\workers. I w as waitingg at the restaurant when my cell phone rang. It turned out my date was struck in traffic and he decided to call to pass the time until he arrived. We hit it off talking about e ery- thing including the differences berteen men and w omen. As we continued. I asked him. "You have to explain something. A middle-aged bald gu. trying to recapture his youth just pulled into the parking lot in a bright red sports car. Why is it some men can't accept their age?" I was quite embarrassed when he waved from the driver's seal and replied, "Did I happen to mention I drive a red convertible?" (Thanks/o Sandy C.)

Kelley. Using the latest data avail- able, USDA has established the FY 2008 overall allotment quantity (OAQ) at 8,450,000 short tons, raw value (STRV),, to be consistent with the do- mestic market share allocated to domestic sugar beet and sugarcane processors, as re- Squired by the Agricultural Ad- Sjustment Act of 1938, as amended. USDA established the FY 2008 raw sugar tariff-rate quo- ' ta (TRQ) at 1,231,497 STRV - Sthe United States minimum ac- cess commitment under the World Trade Organization, (WTO). USDA established the FY 2008 refined and specialty sugar TRQ at 94,251 STRV, S70,000 STRV above the WTO Agreement required minimum of 24,251 STRV, to avoid re- Sstricting the robust domestic organic food market. i FY 2008 Sugar Outlook The August 2007 World Agricultural Supply and De- mand Estimates (WASDE) re- port indicates that FY 2008 sugar supply is expected to be short of FY 2008 sugar needs for a balanced market. The in- dicated ending stocks-to-use is 13.3 percent below the tradi- tional range for the U.S. sugar *market. There is a significant shortfall withinthe domestic organic sugar, market, where the WTO minimum import ac- cess used in the August WAS- DE is considerably below do- mestic market needs. USDA also notes that these early estimates of the FY 2008 domestic sugar market are subject to considerable adjust- ment, particularly the WASDE estimates of domestic sugar production and imports from SMexico. SFY 2008 Sugar Marketing Allotment Program USDA has previously an- nounced that domestic sugar marketing allotments will con- tinue in effect for FY 2008 (see the July 31, 2007, USDA news release). Domestic sugar mar- keting allotments are required when imports, as defined by statute, are estimated to be be- low 1,532,000 STRV.

Elizabeth Elliott, Evening 842-2372 culation of the FY 2008 OAQ is based oi the estimate of do- mestic sugar food use (10,000,000 STRV) less the statutory market share allocat- ed to imports (1,532,000 STRV). USDA rounded the re- sult of this calculation to the nearest 50,000 STRV in recog- nition of the significant uncer- tainties surrounding the FY 2008 sugar market forecast at this time. USDA established the FY 2008 OAQ at 8,450,000 STRV. The OAQ was allocated to the beet and cane sectors as follows: Beet Sugar: 4,592,575 STRV Cane Sugar: 3,857,425 STRV This allocation is estimated to result in a surplus allotment of 70,000 STRV for the cane sector, all of which was reas- signed to imports. FY 2008 Raw Sugar TRQ USDA today established the FY 2008 raw sugar TRQ at 1,231,497 STRV, the United States minimum access com'- mitment under the WTO. Cer- tain shipping pattern restric- tions used in previous years are not being imposed because the overall TRQ is set at a low- er level than in recent years. FY 2008 Refined TRQ The FY 2008 refined sugar TRQ is established at 94,251 STRV for which the sucrose content, by weight, in the dry state, must have a polarimeter reading of 99.5 degrees or more. This includes the United States minimum access com- mitment under the WTO, 24,251 STRV, and an addition- al specialty sugar amount' of 70,000 STRV to accommodate a rapidly expanding organic food sector. Included within the WTO refined sugar TRQ is a minimum specialty sugar TRQ of 1,825 STRV. USDA will administer the FY 2008 specialty sugar TRQ of 71,825 (1,825 + 70,000) STRV in five branches. Be- cause this is a first-come, first- served TRQ, trenches are needed to allow for orderly marketing throughout, the year. The first, totaling 1,825 STRV, will open Oct.;24, 2007. All specialty sugars are eligible for entry under this tranche. The second tranche will open on Thursday, Nov. 15, and be equal to 24,850 STRV. The remaining three trenches will each be equal to' 15,050 STRV, with the third opening on Jan. 30, 2008; the fourth, on May 14, 2008; and the fifth, on Aug. 27, '2008. The second, third, fourth and fifth trenches will be re- served for organic sugar and other specialty sugars not cur- rently produced commercially in the United States or reason- ably available from domestic sources. The authority for establish- ing the raw and the refined "TRQs is the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, Chapter 17, Additional U.S. Note 5. The U.S. Trade Repre- sentative will subsequently an- nounce the country allocations of these TRQs. FY 2008 Market Impacts 'Preliminary market indica- tors incorporating the latest available information from the Aug. 10 WASDE report, plus changes reflecting today's an- nouncement, indicate a prelim- inary FY 2008 situation as shown below: FY 2008 U.S. Sugar Mar- ket Estimates, August 2007 WASDE, Adjusted for Today's Actions Carry-in stocks, 1,628, 1,628 Production, 8,291, 8,291 Imports, 1,889, 1,959 Total Use, 10,420, 10,420 Ending Stocks, 1,388, 1,458 Stocks-to-Use Ratio (%), 13.3, 14.0 The estimated FY 2008 end- ing stocks-to-use ratio, as modified by today's actions, is within the traditional range for the stocks-to-use ratio in the domestic sugar market. USDA notes that these sugar market estimates incorporate the sugar trade expected from the Mexico-United States agreement of July 2006 and full implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico on Jan. 1, 2008. Due to consider- able uncertainties involving the sugar market estimates, USDA will closely monitor stocks, consumption, imports and all sugar market and pro- gram variables on an ongoing basis. During the year, appro- priate adjustments will be made to the OAQ and TRQs as required to ensure an adequate supply for the domestic mar- ket, avoid forfeitures and pre- vent market disruptions. Separately, USDA will, on an individual processor basis, announce initial FY 2008 cane state allotments and sugarcane and sugar beet processor allo- cations.
