"It's a shining moment," Wise said. Wise is one of three former Frostproof athletes who will be inducted into this year's hall of fame at the Seventh Annual Hall of Fame Gala on Feb 9. The gala is being held by Frostproof Bulldog Boosters, Inc., a coalition of school staff, parents, and local residents to help support the Frostproof Middle Senior High School athletic program. Wise was on the board of direc- tors when the Boosters program started eight years ago. Since then, he has volunteered countless hours into the program and its many fundraisers. Born May 3, 1950. Wise has been involved in sports all his life, start- ing with Little League baseball at age 6. In high school, graduating in 1968, he played center on the football team and catcher on the baseball team. He was named All-Conference . football for two years, and earned Most Valuable Lineman honors as well as all-state accolades. He was All Conference baseball his senior year, and was also active with the FFA. After graduating high school in 1968, Wise would spend two years in Polk State College and South Florida Community before working in his family's agriculture business. Though he never played sports in college, he did play competitive softball for several years after high school. In 1982, he joined the local volunteer fire department. And, his "Boston butts" are always barbecued to perfection.

Free lunch if you know where to look By GEORGE FANICEVICH N NEWS CORRESPONDENT If you're in your 60s, all your life you've heard there's no such thing as a' "free lunch." More often than not the suspicion was justified, because getting the one usually meant sitting through some 1igh-pressured sales pitch for every- thing from financial consultations to time-shares. Back in 1994 Joyce Albritton learned, contrary to popular belief, that there was such a thing as a free lunch. She then spent the next 16 years helping other seniors learn that there is such a treat and a whole lot more if you know where to look. Albritton retired Jan. 4 from her position as the manager of Frostproof Fellowship Dining. The following Monday Albritton returned to the Fellowship Dining Center as a client, under the direction of interim manager Karen Ferman. PHOTO BY K.M. THORNTON SR. Not only is providing a great lunch an impor- tant part of the Fellowship Dining experience, so too is just getting a chance to have some fun with friends, whether it be a game of cards or a friendly chat. ...................................!. ..................... "I've been busy filling Joyce's shoes," Ferman said. "Having her back even as a client makes my job easier." When asked if she had anything she wanted to say to our readers, Forman responded, "Just tell them to come on down and say hello!" Frostproof Fellowship Dining is a Polk County program operated under the auspices of Elderly Services. The program operates each weekday and provides free hot meals to individuals age 60 and older. Meals are also provided to any spouses and/or disabled children who are living at home, regardless of age. There are no income or asset require- ments in regards to participation in this program. "You can participate in this program even if you're a snowbird," stated Bobby E. Warf, while having his application filled out by Ferman. Warf, who's down here for about three or four months, advised, "When I'm home, I participate in a dining program up there." In addition to the meals, daily activi- ties are offered to all who are able and care to participate ranging from so- cialization with the other members, to LUNCH 5s Albritton happy to pass on the cooking By GEORGE FANICEVICH NEWS CORRESPONDENT Frostproof Fellowship Dining's newest client, loyce Albrinon, for the last 14 years has been the mainstay of Frostproof's premier senior gathering place, also known as Frostproof Fellowship Dining. Confused? The explanation is really quite simple. On Jan. 4, Albritton, Frostproof Fellowship Dining's beloved manager retired from her position, took the week- end off, and then returned the following Monday, as a client "I've already started missing the people here," she said. Her local roots ran deep long before she got involved in helping make sure local seniors got hot, nutritious meals COOKING 15 .TODAY'S CONTENTS 7 05252 00025 8 Calendar..............Page 2 Editorial.............

CALENDC EAa Local man arrested in 9th St. stabbing A Frostproof man is facing a charge of aggravated battery follow- ing an alleged stabbing incident in the city last week. According to reports, Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to 9th Street West and Overocker Circle in Frostproof, on Tuesday, Jan. 15, after a reported stabbing. .According to a spokesperson, Collis Morris, age 23, of 22 Monroe Street, Frostproof, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He has a lengthy arrest record, according to the Polk County Jail website, including previous charges of kidnapping and robbery. Reports indicated that through the investigation, it wag learned the victim, 25-year-old Earl Chandler, Queens Court, Frostproof, was walk- ing eastbound on 9th Street West when he heard someone walking behind him. When Chandler turned, police said that Morris shouted at him, then allegedly rushed toward him. As Morris approached, there was a physical altercation during which Morris is believed to have pulled a knife from his pocket stabbing Chandler in the abdomen, the sher- iff's department alleged. Morris then left the area. Chandler was trans- ported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Morris was later located at 910 Lake Reedy Blvd. South in Frostproof where he was taken into custody, according to law enforcers. .Chandler told detectives he believed the altercation was a result of the two men being involved with the same woman, police added.

West is a retired executive with Winter Haven Hospital who is also a force behind the program, "Building a Healthier Polk," a three-year initia- tive that seeks to reduce the obesity rate in the county by October 2015. Polk County has a higher obesity rate that the rest of the state and West's group aims to do something about it. "We know the actual statistics of health in Polk County," West told the Polk County Board of County Commissioners recently. Obese adult Polk County residents total 37.6 percent, compared to the state average of 27.2 percent. West added that and other figures came from four separate assessments. "We have a long way to go." The Building a Healthier Polk organization is made up of several community partners brought together by Polk Vision. West had appeared before commissioners to Florida's legislature has started its committee meetings in advance of the 2013 legislative session. The big news out of Tallahassee so far has been the Senate's desire for ethics reform. I am cautiously optimistic that lawmakers will enact some reforms, and I am particularly pleased about the House's desire for cam- paign finance reform, which I find intriguing. Several years ago, while serving in the Senate, I tried to raise the contribution limits for political cam- paigns in Florida, which are among the lowest nationally. I did not think campaigns needed more money, quite the contrary. I proposed higher limits because I thought candidates needed more control of their cam- paigns, more responsibility for their message and more focus on their constituents instead of powerful people in Tallahassee. Current efforts to change campaign finance laws cite transparency and accountability, which are valid and laudable goals. More importantly, though, is restor- ing control and responsibility to candidates and making them more responsive to the people in their districts rather than the leadership of their chamber, the lobbyists with ,big money and the political parties, which lately have been anointing the primary winners. When constituents and community donors are the primary contributors, candidates will be more accountable to those they represent. Our Viewpoint introduce "Building a Healthier Polk." He was also there, to receive a proclamation of support from the county on the initiative. "Obesity has been described as the fastest growing public health problem in the United States," said.West. "The Lakeland-Winter Haven area has been deemed as the seventh fast- est growing metropolitan service area in the country." Obesity contributes to the three major causes of death: Diabetes, stroke and heart' disease. West called for an increase in leisure time activities at low and/or no-cost facilities. He pressed the county commission on the need for neighborhoods to have complete sidewalks, bike paths and parks. In the workforce, the strategy are thousands of these committees. So even though the contributions and expenditures are public record; good luck following the money transfers from one to the other. The result: less transparency and more candidate interest in pleasing the benefactors. The committees known as 527s can spend unlimited money in any campaign as long as they do so independently. That means they cannot coordinate directly with the campaign. It would be naive to believe that the consultants running these Super PACS are not doing precisely what the candidate or the campaign is anticipating. With little way of knowing which PAC is helping which candidate, it is almost impossible-to prove that coordination occurred. Also, the PAC can cut one check Paula Dockery GThVlte Under the current system, once candidates raise the maximum $500 contributions from businesses and individuals in their district, they turn to the money machines in Tallahassee. Because the $500 limits apply to them as well, the political players employ various legal methods to circumvent the limitation. They "bundle" money by collecting checks from numerous individuals within an organization, handing over $10,000 or so with a single handshake. Those with matters before the Legislature, or legislators seeking to lead their chamber or political consultants seeking candidates as clients can form numerous political action committees (PACs), commit- tees of continuous existence (CCEs.i and other committees allowing inde- pendent expenditures under section 527 of the federal tax code. The most effective and legal use of these committees is to move money from one to another, disguising original contributions while skirting the $500 limit. In Florida alone, there will be to increase by 5 percent positive employee behavior. We applaud West and the Building a Healthier Polk group for their efforts and hope the com- mission and other local governments get behind the initiative. What can local governments do? Provide as much recreational opportunities as local budgets will allow to their residents. Parks where people can walk, tennis courts and basket- ball courts where they can play and gyms where they can work out. As West would tell you, money spent on recre- ation activities is money not spent on obesity- related diseases. The Building a Healthier Polk group meets the sec- ond Tuesday of each month at 3:30 p.m., in Lakeland. Want to attend? Call Colleen Mangan, Community Health Improvement Planner with the Polk County Health Department at 863-519-7900, ext. 11334. covering a large media buy or a consultant's activity that includes the costs for numerous candidates disguising how much each candidate received. The result: A candidate can hide behind the "independent" nature of an inappropriate ad or mail piece. When the party gets involved, party officials can offer nearly unlimited services. More importantly, the fi- nancial backing sends a strong signal to donors that they should not sup- port the opponent even in a primary election. The result: candidates are more concerned about pleasing the party elites than their constituents.

He attributes his success in life to the values and lessons he learned from mentors such as his parents and his coaches, including Jim Boyd, George Jackson, and Farris Brannen. "Having a good solid background, a good Christian background, some good mentors, and seeing at an early age people giving commitments and unselfishly giving back to the commu- nity taught me great values." he said. Being a third generation Frostproof resident and having the success that he had growing up has given Wise a strong desire to give back to his community, especially to the school DOCKERY FROM PAGE 4 contribution limits to a candidate's campaign account, resist the urge to dismiss it as allowing unlimited political contributions. Our exist- ing campaign finance law not only allows that but also rewards it but only to the politically connected and dependent. In the 2012 elections, three out of every four dollars flowed through political committees and not direct- ly to individual campaign accounts. - The Legislature should remove the direct contribution limit, as several other states have done, and limit or eliminate the "outside" money. Then, all candidates would have the opportunity to raise the money they need, and they would be system and athletic program. One of the ways he has given back has been through coaching Little League baseball for 18 years and coaching Little League football when it was still around. But the main venue through which he has contributed to the athletic program has been through the Frostproof Bulldogs Boosters, which he considers a vital aspect of the program. "Boosters clubs are a great asset to any school's athletic program, espe- cially in today's time with cutbacks in funding," he explained. "Without a good booster program, an athletic program cannot make it on its own." Tickets for the event are $50 a person for the evening which will start at 6 p.m. at the Lake Wales Country Club.

Most importantly, they would rely less on special interests, Tallahassee insiders and the politi- cal establishment and more on the community members they hope to represent. Perhaps the unlimited contribu- tion limit could be a tradeoff for agreeing not to take campaign com- mittee money. It's time for an honest discussion on the topic without the reform-killing rhetoric. I applaud Leadership Integrity and House Speaker Will Weatherford for daring to challenge the obscene status quo.

There is nutritional education, counseling, and occasionally, speakers who expound on various subjects of interest to seniors. Transportation to and from the meal site is provided for anyone who needs it and is able to get themselves into and out of a Fellowship Dining van. "There are many seniors in our area that would benefit from participation in this program. But may not be participating for a variety of reasons," Albritton noted. "Anything from they don't know about the program or they may have heard about it, but may not understand how the program functions." She rioted that the program's goals are simple by still important. "The idea of the program is to get our seniors out of the house for a few hours and let them socialize with other people over a hot meal in a congenial atmosphere," she added.

"It was here I met and married my husband, Arthur. It was here I enjoyed living and raising my family." Two daughters, KellieWilbanks and Debbie Brown, each of whom are married still reside in the area. "Mom was always a hard worker," Wilbanks noted. She spent 22 years at Latt Maxcy's while also working for 20 of those 22 years at Citizens Bank and Trust. For a period of time she was also helping out in a doctor's office in Avon Park, thus work- ingthree jobs, not leaving her much time to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. But that never stopped her from caring and helping, which is what being a nurse is all about. "Mom was always there when someone had a need, whether it be a neighbor or fellow church member, or myself needing someone to pick up my son from school or baby-sit while I was working," Wilbanks added. As Albritton approached 60 years of age, an opportunity presented itself that would fulfill the spirit of her dream, if not the dream itself. She was given the chance to become part of an organization whose mission it was to help people. "Back around 1994", Albritton said "through Greenthumb, I became as- sociated with Frostproof Fellowship Dining".

Friday 9AM-12PM Appointments drMarkngerco Home Visits L.-- ---- --- --- ----- By MARY CANNADAY MCANNADAY @HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM Rex Dimmig was sworn in as Public Defender for the 10th Judicial Circuit Jan. 15, staff and friends filling the Polk History Center's historic courtroom. He succeeds Marion Moorman, who held the position for 28 years. Dimmig said he chose Jan. 15 at 3:30 p.m. to honor a significant event in the annals of public defense; the case of Gideon vs. Wainwright. Dimmig noted in his speech that, "It was on this day 50 years ago that the U.S. :Supreme Court heard the oral arguments in Gideon vs. Wainwright. Gideon had been convicted in a trial without a lawyer despite his request for one. In March of 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Gideon should have been provided with a lawyer for his trial. When Gideon was retried with a lawyer, he was acquitted." In response to this verdict, Florida cre- ated its public defender system. Moorman in his opening remarks recalled another case, the first where he saw Dimmig in action. At that time, Moorman was with the prosecutors office and Dimmig was the public defender, on a case actually tried in the historic court- room, back before the new courthouse was constructed. "Some of us here remember that this courtroom didn't look this good then," he quipped. Becoming serious about Dimmig's performance as a young- attorney, though, Moorman said, "I was treated to an example of trial craft that I remember to this day. All day long, I had- to be on my game, because this young lawyer was doing a fantastic job." Eventually, they ended up on the same side. Moorman was elected to his post as Public Defender and worked with Dimmig until the young attorney went to the State Attorney's Office, working under Jerry Hill's predecessor, QuillianYancy. "But in 1988, he came home to the Public Defender's Office, where he has been ever since," Moorman said. He noted that Dimmig rose to the position of administrative assistant public defender and director. He noted that Dimmig had lobbied statewide for reform and for equitable funding for defense of the indigent. In a brief interview before the ceremony, Moorman said Dimmig was a candidate for his former post whom he felt he could unconditionally support. Following Moorman's remarks, Dimmig was sworm in by his adult children, Heather, Travis, and Tyler, with his wife Lois holding the Bible. Dimmig noted that no one could replace Moorman, but he.was proud to be his successor. He delivered a passionate speech in defense of the indigent clients the Public Defender's Office represents. He quoted the Public Defender Creed first spoken by Jim Doherty, Cook County Illinois Public Defender. In part, it states, "My clients are the indigent accused. They are the lonely, the friendless. There is no one to speak for them but me. My voice will be raised in their defense. This will be my credo, this and the Golden Rule." Dimmig said "The largest mental health receiving center is the Polk County Jail." "The revolving door which our criminal system has become must be stopped," Dimmig said. He also lamented the num- ber of remedial courts that have prolifer- ated, noting that judges are basically being put in the role of social worker.

It was also a break from the (recent) past, program-wise. Lately, and often, programs center around children and youth and education. If not that topic, the subject matter is often of a civic nature; in other words, what people and organizations do and are doing to improve the lives of Polk County residents. Regardless, whatever is presented at the Bartow Kiwanis Club luncheon is always an opportu- nity to learn something in a manner informative and fun. On behalf of the Florida Frontiersmen Inc., Casey Fletcher, vice president of finance for PallettOne, as well as a member of the Kiwanis Club, spoke on the 42nd Alafia River Rendezvous' beginning with its storied tradition. As the United States moved westward in the early part of the 19th century, especially following the Louisiana Purchase, fur and pelts were a valued commodity in high demand particularly in Europe. "Free trappers and traders would meet at a rendezvous that lasted two- to-three weeks," explained Fletcher. There they would buy and trade goods. These rendezvous lasted nearly a month because not all the trappers could meet in a shorter period of time, Fletcher explained. These rendezvous lasted until the 1840s, when fur and pelts mostly beaver fell out of fashion in Europe. However, the memory of these have been kept alive, thanks to organizations such as the Florida Frontiersmen. The Alafia River Rendezvous (this year's theme is "Howl at the Moon"), is one of the largest ones held, said Fletcher. He explained part of the rea- son is because it takes place in Florida during the winter, and as a rule, the weather is mild. More than 1,500 adults participate, coming in from all across the U.S., and Canada. "There are no strangers," said Fletcher at the close of his brief presen- tation. He then introduced Butch and . Kathy Snider, along with Barbara Davis and Mary Betts, who performed several songs. Some of the songs were fun, some were serious, and at least one was of a mournful nature. Want to go? The 42nd Alafia River Rendezvous will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25-26. From Bartow, take U.S. 17, and turn right onto County Road 640 (from Fort Meade, turn left). Go approximately a quarter of a mile toward Homeland and turn left onto Azalea Avenue/Old Fort Meade Road. The parking lot opens at 8 a.m., and all guests will need to exit by 4 p.m. Admission is $10 adults/$5 Seniors (age 60 and above), plus children ages 4-15/ children free under age 3. What is/was a rendezvous According to the Florida Frontiersmen web site, a rendezvous was a predetermined place and time set for fur trappers to meet up with fur traders. This kept the fur trappers from having to come all the way back to civilization to cash in their beaver pelts (called plews, from the French word for PHOTOS BY STEVE STEIF Children race to find various colored pieces of beads and glass in a scavenger hunt. It is one of several activities for children that was played in a period of the early 19th century that is being re-created at this year's Alafia River Rendezvous. Aylin Hackell, 14-months-old, looks up at her grandmother (not pictured). According to her grandmother, Terri Davies, Hackell is a third generation reenactor at this year's 42nd Annual Alaria River Rendezvous. It's not hard to imagine the barkeep being told "Gimme a shot o' your best sasparilly!" at this beverage stand set up at the Alafia River Rendezvous.

Usually the trappers (also known as "mountain men" would spend 11.months of the year in the moun- tains trapping beaver. Beaver was in great demand because of its fur. The fur was made into the felt for the top hats that became popular in the 1790s. Beaver fur was most desirable in the winter. So the trapper-would struggle through the Rocky Mountain winter in order to trap them. With winter's cold the trapper faced the possibility of frostbite, bone numb- ing cold, running into grizzly bears, unfriendly indigenous tribes, or illness. It was a fact that not many greenhorns made it through the first year. To the fur trapper, rendezvous was like our present day state fairs. It was a great time to socialize with other trappers and to find out what is going on back home. It was also payday. They would bring their furs and trade them for necessities they would need for the upcoming year. When the trading was over it was time for fun. There was singing, dancing, horse races, foot races, target shooting, knife throwing, gambling, whiskey drinking and yam telling.

The four are participating in the 42nd Alafia River Rendezvous.

For Scott Humston, it's magic and entertainment that gets across the ideals of honesty, respect, self-esteem, cooperation and responsibility. He will be bringing his unique show to Frostproof Jan. 24, and will entertain at all three local schools. At 9:30 a.m., he will present a show at Ben Hill Griffin Elementary, and in the afternoon he will make a stop at Frostproof Elementary. He will also have a special, free evening community show for all parents and kids at the Frostproof Middle Senior High School starting at 6:30 p.m. This is a different show from the two he will perform earlier in the day, and parents are encouraged to bring their - children. Humston has led an extraordinary life. Overcoming a speech related birth defect to become a full time speaker and performer, Scott now devotes his life to the art of motivating through enter- tainment. Scott holds a BA. in com- munication studies and dramatic arts. He entertains, motivates and inspires hundreds of audiences each year. Scott has been performing in front of audiences for more than 24 years, yet he is only 39. He started performing magic shows at the age of 13. "I've always had a desire to inspire people," says Scott. "I was born with a birth-defect known as a cleft-palate. Chances are that you, too, know some- one with this 'defect'. I have had six surgeries, years of speech classes, and lots of braces! I overcame this 'defect' in part because my parents, teachers, pastors and others encouraged and inspired me and taught me that I could accomplish great things." , Every week Scott performs in front of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people. But Scott's show is more than just entertainment. It has a message revealed in wit and warmth. The ability to reach people is a life- time dream for Scott. "God has granted me the talent and devotion to spread fun in a very creative way," Scott says. He's been invited to perform his pro- gram in hundreds of schools, churches, and corporations. Those places include Warner Brothers Records, Southwest Airlines, Saddleback Church, and even three shows for the White House. He lives in Grand Island, Florida, with his wife of 18 years, Debi, and four amazing kids, Hannah, Abby, Nathaniel, and Rachel.

The board met Friday morning with Wayne Blanton of the Florida School Board Association, who is conducting the search for Polk's next superin- tendent. Within a few hours they nailed down crucial details to get the search under way. They decided on a salary range of $210,000 to $260,000; a requirement of 10 years administra- tive experience (with five of those in senior management), a minimum of a master's degree or equivalent pref- erably a doctorate, and experience in districts of 25,000 students or larger. The search is under way due to the re- tirement of Sherrie Nickel in November 2012 due to family health issues. Former Polk superintendent John Stewart is serving as interim superintendent. Blanton told the board he hoped to place the ad in Education Week Magazine by Feb. 1, running it for six consecutive issues. Blanton said that publication is by far the most effec- tive medium for drawing applicants. To get the ball rolling, he needed guidance on timelines, salary range and qualifications. He also discussed the process for the search and what it would look like. Dick Mullenax, in the salary discus- sion, initially suggested a range of $210,000 to $240,000, and Tim Harris wanted to start the range at a lower figure, but Debra Wright said, "I am concerned about the $200,000 part. I think we may eliminate some high- quality candidates if we make the range' too low." The board agreed. Polk is a huge school district com- pared to most, with 94,000 students. "Eighty percent of school districts nationwide have 5,000 students or less, so the sheer size of Polk County is startling to some candidates," Blanton noted. Withathis in mind, one of the qualifications will be that the candidates have experience in districts with at least 25,000 students. "People from smaller districts don't understand that this is a totally dif- ferent job in a large district," Board chairperson Hazel Sellers noted. The board discussed the types of applicants that would be vetted and whether to require candidates that are sitting superintendents or former superintendents, or to accept appli- cations from deputy superintendents as well as private sector executives. Board member Lori Cunningham said, "We want to be inclusive, not exclusive. I would love to have a sit- ting superintendent, but I know that there are many excellent deputies out there as well." Wright agreed, saying, "I think we should just throw the fishing pole in the water and see what we catch." Kay Harris cautioned, "I want to make sure that whoever we get can carry their weight." The board is aiming for a July 1 start date for the new superinten- dent, but there's some flexibility in that. Blanton told the board that a search generally takes four to six months. An application cut-off date of March 15 was set, allowing two to three weeks to read resum6s and do background searches, and by April 5, Blanton said he could bring-the top five to the board. The board is making sure that the public and community stakehold- ers such as chambers of commerce have a say in the selection, so they plan a series of public "Meet and Greet" gatherings as well as putting a questionnaire online where people .can indicate what they would like to see in Polk's superintendent. The group set aside April 29 to May 10 as a time to interview, show candi- dates around the county, and to hold public meetings, and hopes to make a decision by mid-May to mid-June. Southeastern University Head Football Coach Keith Barefield has announced the hiring of vet- eran coach and Polk County native Richard Marsh as the program's first defensive coordinator. Marsh comes to Southeastern after serving as the head football coach at Thomasville High School in Georgia since 2005. Marsh led Thomasville to seven Georgia High School Athletic Association playoff appearances and was named the Region Coach of the Year in 2007. "I am so blessed that the Lord *has-called me to be part of Coach Barefield's staff at SEU," said Nlarsh. "I feel new and exciting opportuni- 'ties with kingdom building and com- petition in championship college football.awaits me at Southeastern." Marsh's pedigree and ties to Polk County run deep as he was a three- year letterman at Barrow Senior High School where he played for the late' Paul Quinn, who was at the time the winningest football coach in the state of Florida. Marsh was a starting linebacker on Bartow's 1986 team which won the State Championship. After high school, Marsh contin- ued his football career at Ferrum College where he played three years under legendary coach Hank Norton, who at the time was the winningest active coach in NCAA III. After his playing days were over, Marsh returned to Florida to begin his coaching career at Frostproof High School in 1992. Marsh was on staff with the 1992 State Championship team as a linebackers coach. After that season, legendary Frostproof Head Coach Farris Brannnen decided to retire and handpicked Marsh as his successor; a position Marsh held until 1999. Marsh returned home to Bartow in 1999 where he served as the Head Football Coach and Dean of Students from 1999-2003. Marsh was named The Ledger's Polk County Coach of the Year in 2001. "Wherever Richie Marsh has trav- eled to be a part of a football pro- gram, excellence and winning have followed," said Barefield. "I expect ,the same here at Southeastern. I am extremely excited to have Richie, his wife, Jennifer, and the whole Marsh family join our family here ,at SEU. When it comes to Christian character, family values, work ethic, and success, he fits the mold we are searching for in a coach. Add to those qualities the fact that he is a Polk County native and established his coaching reputation early in his career at Frostproof and Bartow and I am even more confident that we have the right man for the job." Marsh earned a bachelor's degree in liberal studies from Ferrum College in 1991 and his master's degree from The University of South Florida-Lakeland in educational leadership in 2004. He and Jennifer have five children. Barefield and his staff have begun recruiting for Southeastern with plans to begin practice in the fall of 2013 and for the first game to take place in the fall of 2014.

The process, which will be done over a six-month period, kicked off with discussion of a new mission statement. District officials sent out a survey to school and district office employees, community members and parents asking them to choose among a selection of mission statements. In all, 1,875 people responded, according to a presentation Tuesday by Wilma Ferrer, Senior Director of Assessment, Accountability and Evaluation. From the favorites according to the survey, the school board reached consensus on "Quality Education for all Students." With that as a springboard, a num- ber of meetings will be held between parents, community members, and school staff to come up with a working plan encom passing student achieve- ment, community involvement, a safe and secure environment, a needs assessment and a way to build morale, as well as addressing the diversity con- cerns of such groups as the Concerned Citizens of Polk County. Also folded into the process will be a list called SWOT, which stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. School officials compiled the list at a brainstorming session, and some of the identified items include the strength of "a talented, knowledge- able staff in many areas," a weakness of "lack of trust by schools for the district office," an opportunity from "an engaged and interested commu- nity," and a threat from "unfunded and underfunded mandates." There were 24 items in all on the SWOT list. During the discussion Tuesday, new school board member Hunt Berryman asked, "Why are the goals identified by the board in August not included?" (in the strategic planning materials.) "I think those should be honored," Berryman said. Ferrer assured him that those goals would be part of the process. The initial strategic session Wednesday included 75 people, Ferrer noted. "We're trying to get input from as many people as possible," she said. Interim School Superintendent John Stewart told the board that overall, there should be two guiding principals: "grade level proficiency in reading and grade level proficiency in math." "We want to be a Number One Destination District," Stewart added. SAVE LIVES. GIVE BLOOD. -0 Physician's Services, LLC QUICK, COMPREHENSIVE, COST-EFFECTIVE CARE DR. KULMEET S.

Frostproof News Page 13 January 23, 2013 Page 14 Frostproof News January23, 2013 PASSION for PETS Parrot diet recommendations More and more households are choosing "non-traditional" pets tw . be members of the family. In my practice I have seen everything from skinks and moni- tors to coatimundi and kinkajous. However, by far the most common of the exotic pets are birds. The majority of birds being kept as pets are part of the order Psittaciformes (parrots). These include macaws, cockatoos, African Greys, cockatiels, lovebirds, parakeets and many more. ' Characteristically they have a strong, curved beak, and zygodactyl feet (two toes forward and two toes facing backward). Caring for these birds can be very rewarding, as they can be very affectionate and inter- active. But. their care does require some effort on your part. By far the most common husbandry issue, that Dr. Ashley Lab causes illness in birds, is diet. In the wild the majority of psit- tacines are seed eaters. However, as pets our birds tend to be spoiled. They are not out flying and foraging for food, they have a smorgasbord of tasty treats present to them in a bowl every day. Birds are very intelligent and they know what they want. They will pick through a mixture of food selecting their favorites, and throwing the rest to the ground. This often leads to an excessive consumption of seeds and nuts, which is not a balanced diet. In an effort to have a healthier, happier, more beautiful and more active bird, formulated bird diets have been developed. Pelleted diets, such as Harrison's, Zupreem and Mazuri, take all of the neces- sary components for a healthy diet and grind them up. A pellet is then extruded, just like a kibble for a dog or cat, which the bird cannot pick apart to eat just their favorite parts. This sounds all well and good, but now comes the challenge. Try to get your bird that has been used to eating pizza and Snicker's bars all its life to want to eat fish and broccoli. This transition process is often sloiv and takes patience on the parts of both the owner and the bird. My recommendation is to begin feeding 90 percent of the current diet and 10 percent of the pelleted diet. Each week try to decrease the amount of junk by 10 percent and increase the amount of pellets by 10 percent. Ideally 50-70 percent of the bird's diet will consist of these nutrition- ally balanced pellets. Another 20-30 percent of the diet should consist of vegetables. Dark, leafy green and yellow meaty vegetables have the most nutritive value. Broccoli, en- dive, peppers, spinach, squash and lettuce are all good options. Avoid avocados as these are toxic to birds. Approximately 1-5 percent of the diet should consist of fresh fruits. Apples, bananasberries and melon are good choices. An occasional grape is good, but too many can VET 115 Does Your Pet Havw Bad Breath???? 4 Stop by Lake Wales Veterinary Hospital and have one of our technicians check your pet's teeth at no cost to determine if a dental cleaning is needed.

Also, make sure you choice the fresh fruits over dried which pack a lot of sugar into a small quantity. Other items which can and should be fed in small quantities include meats, legumes, whole grains and dairy. Seeds and nuts can still be given as occasional treats. While feeding a pelleted diet may not be as exciting to us as all the colorful seeds and nuts, it is the most balanced diet for your bird. Incorporating all of the other components mentioned above also makes for good variety. Most impor- tantly, be patient. It may take weeks or months for your bird to convert to a better diet.

"The principle behind these promo- tions is our transformative vision in becoming a clinician-led health system committed to raising the quality of healthcare while lowering the cost, and in so doing, improving the health of the broad communities we serve," he said. Fansler was promoted to executive vice president and will continue to serve as chief nurse executive and chief operating officer. Her role will be expanded by having Jeff Payne, vice president of Human Resources, report to her. During FY12 Fansler's leadership played a key role in driving changes in the emergency department that led to national-level outcomes and sig- nificandy improved patient wait times and quality of care. By the end of 2012, more than 80 percent of patients visiting emergency were discharged or admitted to an inpatient bed within three hours. At the same time, more than 85 percent of our patients were seen by a physician in less than 30 minutes. In addition, Fansler has been highly successful in building a culture of excellence within the nursing staff and in aligning nursing services with overall organizational goals and strategic initiatives. Jones was promoted to executive vice president and will continue serving as chief financial officer for Lakeland Regional Health Systems. Since joining the LRMC team in 2011, Jones has directed efforts to make significant improvements to Lakeland Regional's revenue cycle and operational efficiency. Under him, the LRMC/LRHS income from operations improved from $7 million in FY11 to $42 million in FY12. This was accomplished at the same time that LRMC provided $59 million in uncompensated care. He also supported critical efforts to mitigate reductions in Medicaid reimbursements that were proposed during Florida's 2012 legislative session and played a key role in working with the Polk County Board of County Commissioners to increase access to care for participants in the Polk County Health Plan. Ford was promoted to the role of senior vice president and will continue as chief information officer, providing strategic and operational leadership for technology; physician and clinical informatics; quality and performance improvement; risk management; health information management reporting; and support for the organization's day-to- day operations. Since joining LRHS, Ford has in- tegrated risk management, quality, performance improvement, decision support and regulatory functions into a unified team with a focus on collabora- tion and strategy. This effort has led to improved support for finance, strategic development, compliance and clinical and support services. Collaborating with the leadership team and key clinicians, Ford led the historic digitization of Lakeland Regional with a single electronic health record system, resulting in 100 percent of physicians efficiently entering medical orders electronically and full integra- tion of all financial, operational and clinical systems. Moreover, she has secured $12.5 million in healthcare reform stimulus funding for LRHS by meeting Federal ARRA Meaningful Use requirements set forth in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

New CEO takes'helm of Cornerstone Hospice Charles Lee, started his tenure at the helm of the seven-county nonprofit with a Wednesday "Meet 'n Greet" at Polk County operational center on Havendale Boulevard in Winter Haven. "It is worthy to note that out of our 8,000-plus square mile central Florida. service geography, out of multiple op- erational centers from Lake and Sumter counties on the north to Highlands and Hardee counties on our south, our new CEO marks the taking of the helm of Cornerstone Hospice on his first day on the job right here in Winter Haven," said Deb Harley, executive director for the nonprofit's Polk-Hardee-Highlands re- gion. During his Polk County staff Meet 'n Greet visit, Lee assured everyone that they'll have the physician support, tools and resources required for continued growth in the huge Polk county region. "I am committed for us to have all resources in place to allow us to expand as opportunities arise. I see our census has been growing here and you have my support and encouragement so we can manage issues that accompany growth and professional patient care ... Patients and family care always comes first," said the new CEO. Hispanic Care Team named The caregivers at Cornerstone Hospice www.cornerstonehospice.org have long recognized that patients are more comfortable and fare better when they are able to communicate in their native language. It is for that reason that the .nonprofit with operational center at Havendale Boulevard in Winter Haven recently announced its Hispanic Care Team to care for patients residing anywhere in Polk County. "So that nothing gets lost in transla- tion, this bilingual care team is extremely important to our Hispanic patients and their families," said Deborah Harley, ' executive director for the organization's Polk, Hardee and Highlands region. "We have always put the needs of the patients as a priority." The Cornerstone Hospice Hispanic Care Team brings to this effort their vari- ous disciplines from the team's members such as nurse and admissions manager Violet Argo, social workers Sylvia Leddy and Brenda Torres, nurse and clinical liaison Vivian Norrell, hospice aide Tiara Miles, team nurse Darlene McSwain, team assistant Adriana Rua, and volun- teer Marva Lewis-Fuhriman. "Oftentimes, today's medical and healthcare-specific terminology is writ- ten with such degree of complexity that it's not easy for native English speakers to comprehend, now imagine someone who comes from the Caribbean, Mexico, Central or South America plus add to it facing a life-threatening illness ... This Hispanic Care Team is indeed a great addition to our patient care" explained Dr. LucyW. Ertenberg, vice president and chief medical officer for Cornerstone Hospice.

ROACH: Can you tell me how the WPW syndrome is detected? My mother had the WPW syndrome, and I think I have it. Sometimes my heart beats fast and wobbly. My whole chest sometimes goes up and down. I went to a cardiologist. My stress test was good. My echocardiogram was good. Does my heart have to be in the throes of beating off track for the doctor to record and detectWPW syndrome? T.Y. ANSWER: The "WPW" is Wolf- Parkinson-White syndrome, a common (1 in 100) heart condition in which the electrical impulse coming from the heart's pacemaker in the atria takes an alternate pathway to the ventricles of the heart. Normally, the electrical stimulus travels down a pathway so that it arrives in the ventricle precisely when needed. However, inWPW syndrome, the impulse comes too quickly down the alternate path. Occasionally, this leads to a big problem, because the electrical impulse can travel back up the normal path and down the fast path again, over and over, causing an extremely rapid heart rate. WPW usually is found on a routine EKG. There are cases where it can't be seen, in which case a stress test is often diagnostic. But there are more causes for fast heart- beats.Your cardiologist has done both the echo and the stress test. If you keep having symptoms, you could wear a device that records your heartbeats continuously for 24-48 hours, called a Holter monitor, or an event monitor for even longer times. Speak to your cardiologist if you keep having symptoms. WPW can be treated with medication, but it now is more frequently being treated with radiocatheter ablation, where the extra pathway is destroyed with radio waves. Not everyone withWPW needs treatment. . DEAR DR. ROACH: I was wondering what you think about the latest blow against calcium. German and Swiss researchers followed 24,000 adults for 11 years. They found that regular users of calcium supplements had an 86 percent increased risk of heart attack! I've been taking vitamin and calcium supplements for years. Should I be concerned? VA. ANSWER: There have been three papers looking at calcium and heart disease risk published in the past year. Two of them showed no benefit or evidence of harm, and one showed evidence of benefit. I carefully read the German study you cite, and the 86-percent apparent risk almost disappears when you look at the data regarding the cumulative effects of supplementation. New data always should be reviewed with caution, especially if it overturns ac- cepted scientific wisdom. Once in a while, something really does turn the scientific world on its head, but in this case I don't think that calcium supplementation is likely to cause a large increase in heart risk. On the other hand, it isn't likely to cause a large benefit, either, so consider why you are taking it. For people with osteoporosis, the benefits of taking calcium clearly out- weigh the risks. For everyone else, getting all the calcium you need from food isn't easy, but it may have the best outcome of all. Plumper fingers feel better As anybody who's ever gone swimming or taken a bath knows, one consequence can be prunmy fingers (and toes). Why it happens doesn't seem to be entirely clear. Some researchers say it's the result of irregular absorption and loss some skin cells plump with added moisture while others lose it or because blood vessels in our fingers and toes constrict to reduce heat loss, pulling overlying skin surfaces inward. Whatever the cause, the result is a case of temporary digit wrinkles. It's not a particularly good look, but it might be healthful and helpful in an indirect, odd sort of way. A 2011 study by.Idaho-based researchers found that WELL NEWS Scott LaFee the wrinkles form channel patterns that divert water away from the fingertip, not unlike what tire treads are supposed to do with rainwater. Scientists at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom tested the idea, timing people as they transferred wet or dry objects from one box to another with or without wrinkled fingers. They found that with pruny fingers, people moved wet objects 12 percent faster than with non-pruny fingers. Dry objects were moved in the same amount of time regardless of finger condition. The finding suggests an evolved advantage to ancestors whose digits pruned when wet. The obvious next question, noted New Scientist magazine recently, is why don't our fingers always remain prune-like? The Newcastle scientists had one possible answer: Pruniness means less skin surface touching an object, which translates into less sensory input. In other words, plumper fingers feel better. Body of knowledge In the course of an hour, roughly 600,000 particles of skin fall off your body. In the course of a year, that adds up to about 1.5 pounds of flesh the equivalent weight of an iPad. Life in Big Macs One hour of baton twirling burns - 272 calories (based on a 150-pound person) or the equivalent of 0.4 Big NMacs.
