High school'matriarch' calling it a career


Assistant Principal Claire Bush never planned to work at school


By JAMES COULTER
FROSTPROOFNEWS@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
Before starting her career at
Frostproof Middle-Senior High School,
Claire Bush wanted to be an extension
agent, visiting people's homes and
instructing them on how to install and
operate their appliances.
But after hearing from a friend who
worked at the school about an.opening
for a teaching position, she agreed to


apply for it and teach for one year.
She had since fallen in love with the
school and cannot fathom working
anywhere else.
Bush has served the school for more
than 40 years, starting as a home
economics and math teacher before
climbing the career ladder through five
other positions to her current position
as an assistant principal, from which
she will retire this year.
During her long and fruitful career,

EIIRFI|


she has fostered a sense of community
within the school, becoming actively
involved within the school and with
students and staff, treating them as a
second family.
"Frostproof is a different place," prin-
cipal Kyle Windham said. "It's not like
any other school. We're a family here."
"She's helped create a culture where
it's not a job: it's a family you can go
to, you laugh with, you cry with, that
deals with the things you deal with, and
she's created that family feel here," he
explained.


Bush was born in Athens, Ga., in
1951. During her junior year of high
school,"her family moved to Polk
County, where she graduated from Lake
Wales High School.
She received her bachelor's and mas-
ter's degrees in education and family
consumer science from Georgia College
& State University in Middleton, Ga.,
where she became certified in guidance
and administration.
Her career at FMSH began in 1973.

City, chamber look to partner on downtown tree plan


By BRIAN ACKLEY
BACKLEY @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
Some local business leaders are
hoping to give downtown Frostproof a
makeover, and are hoping the city will
lend a helping hand.
Dede LeFils, co-owner of Watson's
Pharmacy, asked the city council last
week to perhaps give some assistance
in a plan that would replace elm trees
along East and West Wall Street with


palm trees that would give Frostproof a
more "tropical" look.
So far, she and the local chamber
of commerce have raised more than
$7,000, which should cover the cost of
the palm trees, but is still a bit short of
what will ultimately be needed when
moving some bricks, pouring some
concrete, and providing for irrigation
for the trees is figured into the final
price tag.
She continues to solicit money


- just last week the Frostproof Rotary
Club pledged $250 towards the effort
- in hopes of completing the project
before the community's snowbirds
arrive next winter.
"The trees have been there for years,
and years and years," she said. "They're
shabby, and very difficult in the winter-
time because downtown businesses
have to get the leaves out of the doors."
Specifically, she said the idea would
be to plant Foxtail palms.


"I reached out to the community ant
found a lot of enthusiasm from a lot of
people," she noted. About 17 new trees
would either replace an existing elm
or be newly planted. "Because we're
Frostproof, we want to look tropical.
I feel like if we change the downtown
look it might encourage businesses
and more people to come."

When the owner of a private farm returned home, he sported twvo men in a pick-up truck trespassing
on his property.The men had helped themselves to anything of value they could find in various build-
ings on the property.The owner armed himself with a handgun and confronted the men instructing
them to stop, get out of the vehicle and lie on the ground. One man complied while the other got out
of the vehicle and acted threateningly toward the homeowner.When the aggressive man reached into
the bed of the pick-up, presumably for a weapon, the owner reacted in self-defense and fired. The man
was later taken to the hospital and treated for non life-threatening injuries. Both trespassers face felony
charges including breaking and entering, larceny and conspiracy. (Bluefield DailyTelegraph, Rock, WV,

rounds until the first man dropped his weapon. He then exchanged gunfire with a second intruder.
A third intruder appeared and helped his accomplices out of the home to a vehicle where a fourth
man waited. Police were later notified that a man with multiple gunshot wounds had been taken to a
nearby hospital. All four men were later found, arrested and charged for their involvement in the home
invasion. Downs and Boyd were uninjured. (York Daily Record, York, PA, 10/24/12)
Two men knocked on the door of a residence with ill intent. The door was answered by an 83-year-old
woman using a walker. The men pushed against the door and gained entry with ease. One of the men
stayed close to the elderly resident, while the second intruder made his way into the bedrooms. Fearing
for her safety, the woman went to a desk in her living room where she kept her pistol. Upon seeing the
gun, the suspect urged the other to "come on"The men fled with cash and jewelry, but the resident was
left unharmed. (The Greeneville Sun, Greene County, TN, 11/2/12)

The words "Wake Up" began with an "A" this week.
For Andrea, the tropical storm that whirled through
Florida last week bringing a lot of badly needed rain,
some sporadic flooding and wind gusts but little else.
We got off lightly. It was no big whoop-de-doo. But
the scary part was that this was only the first named
storm of the year. It came during the first week of the
official Hurricane Season. We know there are more to
come, and chances are good they won't be as benign.
So, yes, Wake-Up Call. It really is Hurricane
Season. We can all do a little more or a lot to
make sure we're safe if or when a bigger storm arrives.
Consider this a test run. Remember, it could get a lot
worse.
Let's review some basics.
Step one: Get stuff. Stock up.
Assemble a disaster kit. The easiest way to figure
out the contents is to check out county websites for
all hazards guides. They have good tips.
Next time you're in the grocery store and hard-
ware store, think about buying something to put
away for an emergency.


Our Viewpoint
Buy non-perishable foods that don't need refrig-
eration: dry food, canned goods, peanut butter, pasta,
instant coffee, energy snacks, crackers. Whatever.
Store them in the back of the pantry. Make sure you
have a non-electric can opener.
Buy extra drinking water. Don't wait until the last
minute. Put a half-dozen big jugs in the garage. You
can always use it in December.
Make sure you have enough flashlights. And bat-
teries. Again, the worst that can happen is you don't
use them until Christmas.
Have a portable radio on hand. In an emergency,
you'll need information.
Stock up on mosquito spray. Make sure you have
first aid items, extra toilet paper and toilet supplies.
A fire extinguisher is a really good idea (for any time,
really).
Think blue tarp, or two. Gas can?
Step two: Get smart. Plans for contingencies.


Keep all important documents in one secure
place. Have your IDs and insurance policies handy.
Make a list of everything you might want to take
in case you evacuate.
Plan for the worst. Under what conditions will you
evacuate? Where will you go? Will you need a pet-
friendly shelter?
Plan for your pet, too. They'll need food, bedding
and medications.
If you live in a low-lying, coastal area, you may
need to move to higher ground because of storm
surge. Consider the possibility of staying with friends
or family who have a sturdy house inland.
Finally, prepare to protect your property.
Trim dead and weak branches near your house.
Anchor anything that might fly off. Check your
storm shutters. Make sure your plywood is ready to
go.
And don't forget to make sure your homeowners
insurance is adequate.
Remember, we're only at the first letter of the
alphabet. Plenty more to come.


The power inversion: Cities are

where power gets things done


There's a weird calm around
Washington these days. The Obama
administration only has a year before the
lame-duck status sets in. Yet you don't get
a sense of urgency. White House officials
seem busy running the government, but
they are not filling the public space with a
transformational second-term agenda.
Republican leaders aren't offering bold
plans either. They seem more worried
about offending pieces of the current
coalition than in attracting new ones.
The heart of the problem is that no-
body wants to champion proposals that
have no chance of passing. Washington is
immobilized by interest groups, polariza-
tion and a lack of federal dollars.
In their new book, "The Metropolitan
Revolution," Bruce Katz and Jennifer
Bradley of the Brookings Institution argue
that Washington paralysis is already lead-
ing to a power inversion. As the federal
government becomes less energetic, city
governments become more so.
Katz and Bradley describe a country
that is segmenting slightly into divergent
city-states. Demographically, society is
clustering. In an era when the nuclear
two-parent family was the key demo-
graphic unit, it made sense to think of
America as a suburban economy with
common needs. But now two-parent nu-
clear families account for only a fifth of all
households. The young, the old and the
single make up a huge slice of the popula-
tion, and they flock to density. According.
to Robert Puentes of Brookings, the share
of young people with driver's licenses is
plummeting. Public transit ridership rose
32.3 percent between 1995. and 2011.
Economic changes also reinforce
regional concentration. For decades,
companies sought to protect their
intellectual property by isolating their
research-and development functions in


David Brooks


suburban research parks. But now scien-
tific breakthroughs are less likely to come
from discrete teams. They tend to come
from large; loose networks of researchers
brought together in physical proximity. It
makes sense to locate research facilities
in urban districts, often around urban
universities, where researchers will make
wider and more flexible contacts.
Gerry Carlino of the Philadelphia Fed
has found that the number of patents per
capital increases roughly 20 to 30 percent
for every doubling of employment
density. Research by Stuart Rosenthal of
Syracuse University and William Strange
of the University of Toronto suggests that
the intellectual spillovers that often drive
innovation drop-off as companies move
more than a mile apart from each other.
Given this underlying structure, there
are a number of reasons city governments
are likely to be more dynamic than the
federal government. In the first place,
regional identity trumps partisan identity.
In Washington, your primary affiliation
is to your party. But, in Denver, your
primary affiliation is to the health of the
Denver area. That common conscious-
ness makes it easier for politicians in
different parties to cooperate.
Metro governments deal with issues
in their particularity, not as abstrac-
tions. Leaders in northeastern Ohio can


focus on their region's historic strengths,
including a history of expertise with
polymers. That leads to certain concrete
opportunities the chance to get into
flexible electronics, which are very thin
electronic components'attached to flex-
ible materials. They can design specific
policies around concrete circumstances.
Because issues on the regional level
are so tangible, it is possible to debate
new proposals without getting immobi-
lized by the big government versus small
government frame. Republican mayors
tend to be more activist than their con-
gressional counterparts, and Democratic
mayors tend to be more business
friendly. Katz and Bradley highlight New
York City's fantastically successful effort
to lure the Technion-Cornell engineering
school. That was an exercise in using
government to set the table for long-
term growth by luring human capital,
not in trying to micromanage the future
with shiny office buildings, a downtown
stadium or a mall.
Finally, city governments actually
have power over the basics, which are
the key to promoting growth. American
growth lags not because of higher


order problems, but because of the bad
elemental things, like lousy schools and
bad infrastructure. Cities can change this.
A study by the Economist Intelligence
Unit predicted that Chicago will be the
ninth most competitive city in the world
by 2025. Its rise in the rankings is fueled
by the fact that the city is taking care of
fundamentals: $7.3 billion in infrastruc-
ture spending over the next two years, a
community college program that links
education to employment.
Since the New Deal, we have become
accustomed to seeing American politics
as an ever-concentrated national en-
terprise. But the sclerosis of the federal
system will inevitably produce a reversal,
as regions fill the void.
The happiest people these days are
those who leave Washington and get
elected mayor or governor. The most
frustrated people are people who were
mayor and governor and get elected to
the Senate. They end each day knowing
they were busy. They're just not sure they
accomplished anything.

brothers attendedWebber International
University upon high school graduation.
Mark received his Bachelor of Science in
Hospitality Management and his Master
of Business Administration in Business
Management.
Marlar pondered the concept.upon
completing his MBA. He went on to
pursue a professional basketball career
in the south of France. He tried out for
a team in Mont de Marsan, when he
had a crippling injury that herniated
two of his lower vertebrae. The specific
concept came about when he was unable
to be active for weeks, while he was at
close friend's parent's house in a foreign
country, he was allotted time to think.
"This was the most difficult period I
had ever faced in my life, and I couldn't
help but wonder if my life would ever
begin to take the direction I had imag-
ined. Then a thought hit me one day
while I was staring at the ceiling; it was as
if a deeper part of myself was answering
my questions. I began to realize that my
life was waiting on me to decide when


it would take off," a reminiscent Marlar
explains.
Upon having this realization, Mark
decided that it was time to follow a
different dream. Like anyone in his
situation, he faced the fear of failure and
social acceptance of the ones who loved
him the most. From the fear, hope was
defined. This same hope is the birth of
AwakenBMS. "We want to help others
unleash the greatness that resides in each
of us, but to do this you have to adhere
to health in all aspects of life, body, mind,
and spirit (BMS)."
"This is the message that we want to
convey at AwakenBMS, that greatness
exists within each and every one of us.
You don't have to go to another country
to find it, or buy a new pair of shoes, it's
already there; you just have to con-
sciously make the decision to unleash it,"
Marlar states.
Marlar has involved a circle of friends
and family to help with his clothing line
launch and advertisement, which he
credits as the most "rewarding part of the


business." Brothers Luke and Dave Marlar
as well as college friend Tyler Hoevenaar,
were heavily involved in the birth of the
business. Chad and Trey Deberry are also
credited as a major help in the develop-
ment process as well, in addition to the
patience, love, support, and belief of
Jessica Margan.
AwakenBMS may have been most
recently seen at a booth at the runners
expo at the Gate River Run, where they
focused on promoting their new line, and
also raising awareness for the FA.C.E.
(fitness and character education) founda-
tion based in Jacksonville.
"I want to stress the importance of the
support of those around me. Without the
belief of others, I would have never been
inspired to begin the path to my own
dreams," Marlar states.
AwakenBMS can be found on all major
social media networks (Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, YouTube, etc.) at Awakenbms
as well as a full line of athletic apparel on
the company website: www.awakenbms.

a difficult time in the public works

Louise Cooper


Roy Gooch


Louise Cooper went to be with the
Lord as she peacefully passed away in
her sleep on May 6, 2013, in Clermont,
Fla., at the age of 98.
She was a loving wife, mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother and
friend to all who were blessed to know
her.
She was the daughter of Russell
Reitzel Shaffer and Edith Steiger
Shaffer of Mercersburg, Pa., where she
was born on April 4, 1915.
The eldest of three daughters,
she would have been the first of her
family to go to college, but the Great
Depression interfered, so she went to
secretarial school instead.
Louise met her husband, John Byrne
Cooper, while employed at a resort
on a Pennsylvania mountaintop. She
and Byrne were married Sept. 7, 1941,
just before the outbreak of the Second
World War and moved to Baltimore,
Md., where Byrne worked at the naval
shipyard and the first two of their
three children were born.
After the war, the family moved to
Lakeland, Fla., where near the lo-
cal college campus they purchased
a small soda shop which became
a favorite after school spot for the
college students. Later, the family
briefly moved to a small farm on the
outskirts of Lakeland before moving
back into the city.
As her children became older;
Louise worked as secretary for the
Florida Citrus Commission and
International Minerals. Always a part
of the lives of her children and grand-
children, she served as Cub Scout den
mother and Girl Scout leader as well
as in her children's PTA.
Her many community activities
included being a contestant in the
Mrs. Lakeland Beauty Pageant. An
avid and active church member,
Louise was a long-time member of
Grace Lutheran Church in Lakeland
and after the family moved to nearby
Lake Wales, Fla., she continued her
church affiliation with the First United
Methodist Church where she was
active in the United Methodist Women
and served for many years as youth
director.
After her husband's death in 1980,
she moved to Clermont, Fla., to be near
her daughter and son-in-law and their
two children whom she adored, happily
babysitting at every opportunity.
Louise continued her church
stewardship with the First United
Methodist Church in Clermont, often
driving older parishioners to church
activities. Always active, along with
her church and school activities, she


also enjoyed flower gardening, serving
as president and Life Member of the
Clermont Gardening Club, winning
many awards for her arrangements
and proudly attending annual Florida
School Volunteer Conferences and
State Garden Club Conventions.
For many years, Louise also rep-
resented World Book Encyclopedia,
attending their International
Achievement Conference each
year. She especially enjoyed trav-
eling, visiting Atlanta, Ga., and
Denver, Colo., to spend time with
and babysit her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
When her husband passed away,
Louise became a world traveler,
visiting many countries throughout
Europe and Asia. She loved traveling
with her sister, Janet, and with her
church groups. Among the sights she
often recalled were cruising on the
Mississippi, the grizzly bears and cari-
bou of Alaska, the Great Wall of China,
whale watching in Hawaii, Greek
temples, mosques in Turkey and the
Great pyramids of Egypt. She enjoyed
the fall foliage in New England and
many of the National Parks through-
out our nation.
Louise was preceded in death
by her husband of 40 years, John
Byrne Cooper; her sisters, Mildred
Shaffer Hiscock and Janet Shaffer
McLaughlin; and her granddaughter,
Paige Meredith Birgfeld.
She is survived by her three children,
John Byrne Cooper, Jr. and his wife,
Jane, Carol Suzanne Birgfeld and her
husband, Frank, and Nancy Louise
Ladd and her husband, Dale. She is
also survived by seven grandchildren,
John Byrne Cooper III (Ginger), Tracy
Diane Patterson (Randy), Julie Allison
Denison (Craig), Scott David Cooper
(Colby), Craig Brendon Birgfeld (Cally),
Amy Louise Ladd and Brian John Ladd.
Other survivors include her 12 great-
grandchildren, Chance and Paxton
Cooper; Annabel Cooper; Grace and
Ben Patterson; Cooper Denison; Cade,
Bryn and Harper Birgfeld; and Jess, Taft
and Kohl Dixon.
A memorial service for Louise is at
3 p.m. on May 19, 2013, at the First
United Methodist Church, Clermont,
Fla. The Rev. Doug Kokx will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, the family re-
quests with gratitude that memorial
contributions in Louise's name be
directed to Cornerstone Hospice
Foundation, 2445 Lane Park Road,
Tavares, FL 32778 or to the Clermont
First United Church Youth Scholarship
Fund, 950 7th St. Clermont, FL 34711.

County elderly care in jeopardy



Options being explored to save adult day health care centers


By CASSIE JACOBY
CJACOBY@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

Caregivers who vowed to keep their
loved ones at home and out of a nursing
home are worried that they won't be able
to keep their promise if the county's Adult
Day Health Care program is reduced.
Despite the price tag of $821,296 a year
to operate the centers in Bartow, Lake
Wales, Haines City and Lakeland, county
commissioners are exploring options to
continue providing the service. But, a pro-
posal to save $258,000 by closing centers in
Bartow and Lake Wales while consolidating
participants to Lakeland and Haines City
where enrollment is higher, has sparked
a flood of letters from constituents like
Wanda Murphy who pleaded to keep the
Lake Wales center open.
"I would have to quit my job because
the few other services available are not
affordable," she said. In a quivering
voice as her eyes filled with tears, she
explained how her 65-year-old husband,
Dennis, who has dementia and limited
mobility, looks forward to going to the
center he has attended every weekday
since it opened three years ago.
"I trust the girls completely," Murphy
said, praising the staff, nurses and
certified nursing assistants. "Dennis gets
his showers here as well as breakfast and
lunch. I know he's safe and has activities
that he needs for mental and physical
stimulation. The one on one care not
only helps improve his well-being and
quality of life, but gives me a break so I
can continue working and have time to
take care of my own needs."
Although the daily fee is $56, Murphy
obtained a grant to reduce the weekly
cost to $127. Funds are available through
the VA, elderly services, the Alzheimer's
Association and odier agencies..
SMuriphy's feelings are echoed by
65-year-old Marilyn McKnight. She
hugged her 88-year-old mother Annie
Pearl Ramsey, who spent 25 years as the
food service manager at Janie Wilson
Howard Elementary, as she described
why she is so devoted to her care.
"I make her a priority because she
always took care of her children, grand-
children and great-grandchildren. It's
heartbreaking to realize more people
haven't been able to take advantage of
this service. It's not only for the client.
It's for the caregiver. I know she's safe
and doesn't just sit around. She enjoys
playing bingo and being around people.
This is a blessing."
"It's the best of both worlds," said
Donna Kay, ADHC program manager.
"They get to live in their home, be in fa-
miliar surroundings and yet still come to


where they have a supervised health care
program throughout the day. The care-
giver knows they're safe, they're cared for,
get proper nutrition and have activities
that provide socialization. It just speaks
to quality of life rather than having them
go into long term care. Caregivers that
have come to us with nowhere to turn
and been given a new lease on life."
Commissioners were directed to ex-
plore options to reduce ADHC expenses
after efforts to secure a public/private
partnership were unsuccessful and a
marketing campaign to increase enroll-
ment had limited success.
With a capacity for 48 clients, Bartow
has 21 enrolled, but the average daily
census is 14. It's even worse in Lakes
Wales where, with the capacity for 75,
on average only eight of the 22 enrolled
attend. Haines City, also with a capacity
for 75, has 38 enrolled.
In the Lakeland facility, which has a
capacity for 75, 57 are enrolled and 39 are
actually at the facility on an average daily
basis.
"This is a very sensitive issue," said
Commissioner George Lindsey. "Every
need has to be weighed. We've seen
the county's resources go down by $93
million in the last five or six years. Where
can we get the greatest level of service for
the greatest number of residents of Polk
County? It's easy to be a person who says
yes to everything. The challenge is to be
a responsible manager. We have to make
some tough choices and ask is this the
role of county government?"
Lindsey and Commissioner Melony
Bell both made recent visits to the
centers they described as "top-notch
facilities that provide a very vital service
with a caring staff."
"We're awaiting the results of an
audit to see what changes need to be
made and will explore all options before
making any hasty decisions," said Bell.
She doesn't know when that will be. "It's
the elderly who are forgotten and we
shouldn't d6 that. They've worked hard,
paid their taxes and have contributed to
society. We need to put more resources
into the elderly and make sure they're
taken care of."
Bell suggested teaming up with
agencies that provide services to the
elderly such as Volunteers in Service to
the Elderly (VISTE).
The goal of the community-based,
non-profit organization is to enable frail,
elderly persons to continue living inde-
pendently and safely in their own home.
Other services such as Meals-on-Wheels
could help identify isolated seniors in
need of day care.
"When I spent a day delivering meals


in Fort Meade, it was a wake up call for
me because these people are all alone.
They see no one except the volunteer
who delivers their meals and now she
has become their lifeline watching out
for their other needs."

A tough choice

According to the Area Agency on
Aging, one in four families in the county
has a caregiver providing care to a family
member. That's nearly 24,000 family
caregivers for those ages 60 and older.
Although there are more questions than
answers as to why enrollment is so low,
no one questions the need for the care.
"Many people need the program
county wide, but just don't know about
the services that are available and grants
that help pay for the care. I think we
would all prefer to stay in our home with
ourfamily as long as possible or until
the end of life. This has always been a
passion for me for 24 years here with the
county," added Kay. "You pour your heart
and soul into a program because you
believe in it and you see the benefits of
what it does out there. I want the best for
the vulnerable citizens of Polk County."
'A community is judged by how
it treats its older people and young
people," said Deming Cowles, Lake Wales
Family Literacy Coalition executive direc-
tor, part of the team that fought hard to
get the center in Lake Wales. "We don't do
a very good job providing recreation for
kids and we aren't doing a good job if we
let our adult day care falter. We should


do things to attract economic develop-
ment. What company wants to relocate
to a community that doesn't take care of
its elderly? You just don't do this to your
mother or father or any loved one."
Cowles proposed changing fees to
encourage more enrollment.
S"We need a sliding scale to accom-
modate people who can't afford full bore
on care. Merging with other centers
would create all kinds of problems for
families trying to take their loved ones
to and from the centers. We just have to
use our money more wisely and be more
enlightened."
Others community leaders in Lake
Wales understand the challenges elected
officials face.
"It's hard to justify the expense," said
Rob Quam, Lake Wales Care Center
executive director. "If other centers are
more populated, the county has to do
what makes sense. We complain a lot
about waste of money in government,
but when they have to make tough
decisions we don't like that so we can't
have our cake and eat it, too. It's a shame
because it's a beautiful facility and a great
program." Quam added that the Care
Center has no current plans to provide
adult day care.
"There are no easy answers and for
every family there's a different answer,"
said Lindsey. "The balancing act is the
challenge. We face some tough choices
in the spectrum of possibilities. One
extreme is to shut them down. The other
extreme is to keep them going at the
current pace and even perhaps growing
them."

Hall of Famers praise high school


By BRENDA EGGERT BROADER
BBRADER@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

Although the candidates were
being inducted into the Polk County
School District Hall of Fame and
being honored for their contribu-
tions, Col. James Baker Jr., Larry D.
Hardaway and Joseph G. Tedder gave
speeches highlighting the benefits of
their high school educations under
the Polk County School system.
The candidates spoke at the annual
Hall of Fame and Honor Graduates
Banquet June 7 at Lake Ashton.
"When I attended (The United
States Military Academy) West
Point I was not the best at anything
anymore," Baker said referring to
his 'best at many things' high school
career in Auburndale. "Looking back,
I was resilient because I had had
parents, friends and a community to
guide me."
He urged the graduates in the
audience to "please be thankful for
community, churches and whatever
it is that gives you strength. Your
ticket (graduation) is ready to be
used and your future is bright."
Hardaway shared that his "heart is
full of gratitude and I have a humble
spirit as I stand here tonight."
Hardaway documented the


parallels of a good education be-
tween his high school education in
Winter Haven High School and how
it led to his furthering himself in
education, and his friend's educa-
tion, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd,
a 2012 Hall of Fame inductee and
graduate of Lakeland High School.
"We both are representatives of
the Polk County School System that
has a belief to educate its children,"
Hardaway said. "We are examples
about what is good about Polk
County schools."
Tedder's praise of the school system
"taught me leadership, how to be
creative and to think outside the box.
The arts taught me passion whether
it was singing, acting or drawing, it
builds leaders to be successful in life."

RoQney direct, to the point at Tiger Bay


By STEVE STEINER
SSTEINER@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-District 17,
did not mince words or sidestep'ques-
tions at the Monday, June 10, Tiger Bay
of Polk County monthly gathering.
Like all guests who appear before
Tiger Bay members and guests, Rooney
gave a brief synopsis of his background,
which included having served with the
U.S. Army after completing law school,
and getting his first direct taste of
politics as a staff member of then-Sen.
Connie Mack 1II. Rooney also told of
his first term in office, when he repre-
sented District 16, which at the time
went from coast to coast in Florida.
"It was kind of a crazy district," he
said. While he said he had been told
he currently has the largest district in
Florida, he said he disputed that, and
that it probably might be more accu-
rate to state he has the largest agricul-
tural district in the state.
Rooney, who arrived approxi-
mately 30 minutes late, having traveled
directly from Tampa International
Airport, moved slowly as he was
recovering from a pulled muscle in
his back, an injury that had occurred
several days earlier while doing yard
work. Moderator S.L. Frisbie made note
of that as he introduced Rooney.
"Being already in pain, we'll try not
to make your questions too painful,"
said Frisbie, brandishing his trademark
humor.
One of the first questions Rooney
was asked what was he doing to bridge
the gap in partisanship in Washington,
D.C. Rooney said that as a rule he does
not appear on TV very often, some-
thing he sometimes has been taken to
task about, but something he usually
avoided doing, for a reason.
"What you see on TV are the same
10 percent of the people who do it
all the time," said Rooney. He said he
preferred to work for solutions rather


than appear on TV and berate the
opposite party. "I'm trying my best to
forge allies."
Moments earlier, he had invoked
incidents in the past how Democrats
and Republicans had found com-
mon ground. Without citing anything
specific, he praised how Newt Gingrich
and Bill Clinton, and earlier, Ronald
Reagan and Tip O'Neill, had been
able to work together. That is not the
atmosphere currently in Washington,
D.C., and mentioned the issue of
sequestration.
"We've missed some of those oppor-
tunities," said Rooney. "It's regretful."
He expressed the hope that the next
election would install officials willing to
work together. He said he did not want
to be an 80-year-old man sitting at a
Thanksgiving dinner and his children
asking, wasn't he there (in Congress)
when the country went to hell in a
handbasket.
Because he is a member of the
Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence, there were certain ques-
tions Rooney told the audience he
might not be permitted or able to an-
swer. However, he was able to respond
to a question asking for an example of-
where he supported President Obama,
refusing to arm Syrian rebels.
"I am not in favor of arming the
rebels in Syria," he said. The main
reason is the ranks of the rebels have
been infiltrated by a lot of people the
U.S. has been fighting the past 10 years.
He acknowledged there was no good
answer when it concerned atrocities
being committed. It is difficult to know
when to get involved beyond humani-
tarian aid. On this issue, though, he
asserted he was steadfast.
"I'm generally a hawk when it comes
to military interests, but this time I'm
supporting the President and not my
party."
Rooney said he did not believe
Attorney General Eric Holder will


resign and step down Rooney used
the word, retire despite the barrage
of recent incidents that have cast the
Justice Department in a prejudicial
light. He faulted much of what has
taken place on Holder.
"I believe there is a fundamental
lack of leadership in the Justice
Department," Rooney said. He did
indicate that the desire for Holder to
step down is not limited to the House
and Senate.
"I do know from 'inside baseball' that
the president's office would like it if he
did."
In addition to his position on the
Intelligence Committee, Rooney is
on the Committee on Agriculture and
chairs the Subcommittee on Livestock,
Dairy and Poultry. He is also on the
Subcommittee on Nutrition and
Agriculture.
An issue more close to home con-
cerned The Dream Act. Placed in terms
of economics, Rooney said he favored
it. It differed from his vote the first
time the measure came to the floor.
That first time, Rooney said he would
have supported it had-it included a
provision about military service, which
he said it did not. As a result he cast a
nay vote.

He also disparaged comments made
that if Republicans don't do anything to
woo the rising Hispanic population that
it would prove disastrous for the GOP
"It's not my job to get Republicans
elected," said Rooney. "My job is to do
the best for this country based on what
knowledge I have."
In that vein, Rooney warned that
the U.S., is a generation away from
the children of farmers who will go
elsewhere, career-wise, rather than
return to the farm. He then incorpo-
rated the argument in favor of farm
subsidies. Without those subsidies,
crops currently grown here will greatly
diminish.
"We shouldn't forget, other govern-
ments subsidize their farmers," he
said. For all those reasons, Rooney said
he now supports The Dream Act. "I
don't consider it a poison pill if I vote
for it."

County hurricane shelter




maps now available


In preparation for hurricane season,
which began on June 1, Polk County
Tourism and Sports Marketing and
Polk County Emergency Management
have again partnered with Publix Super
Markets to produce and distribute the
"Polk County Public Shelters" map for
2013.
This annual map is designed to assist
both resident and tourist evacuees in
finding shelter during an impending
storm.
"In the event a hurricane threatens
Central Florida, we will work closely
with our accommodations partners
to determine the supply of available
accommodations. This information
is critical in helping evacuees find
available lodging. We want our guests
to have a safe and pleasant experi-
ence, in spite of the circumstances,"
said Mark Jackson, director of Polk
County Tourism and Sports Marketing
(PCTSM).
PCTSM relays this vital informa-
tion to Polk County Emergency
Management (PCEM) and area lodg-
ing facilities. PCEM uses this data
to decide when and where to open
shelters, once area accommodations
reach capacity. Evacuees can then be
directed to open shelters using the
"Polk County Public Shelters" map,
which lists shelter locations on one
side and directions to those shelters on
the other.

limited to dogs, cats and birds only.
Specific requirements apply at "pet
friendly" shelters, so it is advised to
check those requirements in advance.
It should be noted that not every shel-

County program to serve more girls


Girls Inc. to open facility in Bartow


to serve east Polk cities


By ALIDA SCHAT
ASCHAT@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
Girls Inc., the national afterschool
and summer camp program for girls is
coming to Bartow, starting this school
year. The first Girls Inc. program was
opened in 1864 in Waterbury, Conn.,
and has since expanded throughout
the United States and Canada. Kay
Fields, CEO of the Girls Inc. program
in Lakeland, is the woman behind the
move to Bartow.
"One of the things that we've always
wanted to do is make sure we serve
as many girls as we can, and we've
had a presence in Bartow before but
we've always had to use someone
else's facility," said Fields, who is also
a school board member.
The program will open up in the
former BEST Academy facility, located
at 650 W. Main St. in Bartow.
"When you don't have your own
place, it's difficult sometimes to do
the types of programs that you really
believe are going to be in the best
interest of the girls," said Fields.
In the past, Girls Inc. offered pro-
grams in Bartow by using the facilities
of local churches and organizations.
The Bartow center was purchased
with the greater goal in mind of being
able to serve as many communities
in Polk County as possible. Though
the Lakeland facility is too far away to
provide afterschool transportation for
girls in Lake Wales, Mulberry and Fort
Meade, transportation to Bartow from
those communities is more likely. The
details regarding which schools the
Girls Inc. in Bartow will provide trans-
portation for is not yet confirmed, but
Fields' hope is that Bartow and the
surrounding communities will all be
able to take advantage of the Bartow
Girls Inc. Program.
The Girls Inc. program and facil-
ity has been in Lakeland since 1971,
and provides guidance and support
for girls in the community through
a variety of activities, such as visual
and dance arts, sports, field trips,
and academic tutoring. The national
mission of Girls Inc. is to inspire girls
to be strong, smart, and bold.
"This is a program that focuses on
nothing but girls needs. We don't have
any distractions and our programs are
geared to address the needs of girls.
They can come to Girls Inc. and feel
comfortable in their own skin," said
Fields.
In recent years, national public
attention towards girls' issues has
increased dramatically. According to
2011 research funded by the popular


Dove Beauty Campaign, in a study
of more than 1,200 10-17 year-olds,
72 percent said they felt tremendous
pressure to be beautiful. Additionally,
the Confidence Coalition sites that 81
percent of 10 year-old girls are afraid
of being fat. Fields believes that girls
are better adept at learning to deal
with these types of issues when they
are in an all girls environment.
"Coming to a place like Girls Inc. is
assurance for many of them because
it's stability a place where they know
they are going to be safe and nurtured
and loved. That's very important," said
Fields.
Girls Inc. places an emphasis on
education; stressing good study habits
and providing local college visits,
tours, and speakers for the girls' as
they get older.
"It doesn't matter where they might
be now, it doesn't matter what their
personal environment might be like.
What matters is them establishing
goals and dreaming about what they
can be," said Fields.
Fields finds that girls who start Girls
Inc. when they are in kindergarten
and continue through high school
have much higher success rates
then those that come and go. To
keep older girls involved, Girls Inc.
encourages lasting membership and
volunteerism.
"Eventually if they do well academi-
cally, stay focused, and have good
behavior, and a great attitude, when
they become 16 years of age we would
transition them into employment,"
said Fields.
With the combination of outreach
programs and center-based programs,
the Lakeland Girls Inc. serves approxi-
mately 500 girls a year. The goal for
the Bartow program is to add about
150 girls to this number.
This summer will be spent prepar-
ing the building for the grand open-
ing. "We've got our work cut out for us
because it was in foreclosure. I don't
think its been occupied for at least
two years and they left everything
in the building, so we're really hav-
ing to go in there and do a massive
cleanout," said Fields. But Fields has
high hopes for the Bartow Center.
She plans to replicate the Lakeland
program because the success of that
program has been high. If funds
allow, an indoor or outdoor pool is
on her wish list for the Bartow facil-
ity. "I think it would be nice for the
girls to be able to have swim lessons
like the girls are able to have here (in
Lakeland)," said Fields.
The program costs $40 per week

Kay Fields stands by the Girls Inc. sign at the Lakeland facility. A facility in Bartow will open at
the start of the school year at 650 W. Main St.


during the school year and $45 per
week during the summer. "We could
not provide those fees as low as they
are without the support of United Way
and other people that are contributing
to our organization," said Fields. With
the move to Bartow, Fields is hoping
for the same community support that


the Lakeland community has offered.
"I would like the (Bartow
Community) to see Girls Inc. as a
treasure that everyone, especially,
hopefully, the girls can take advantage
of, and that there are opportunities
that await their daughters through
Girls Inc.," said Fields.

A bit of Greek and rock 'n' roll

Anna's offers Greek food and a trip to the 1950s
By CATHY PALMER

So you think you want a little Greek with your Rock 'n' Roll? Head to Anna's Diner in Highland
City and you find it all great food, great atmosphere and a quick trip back to the '50s.

opened the doors
of Anna's four years
ago, and it's still going
strong, giving people
real diner food with
a Greek twist and
hosting special El-
vis events and Greek. 4
night once a month. N
The decor is definitely a trip back in time: 45 and
33 records cascade around the walls, there's an Elvis
tribute wall, and the counter and stools harken back
to diner glory days.
Many of the popular food dishes are real'comfort
food' and authentic diner dishes. Take meatloaf, liver
and onions and toss in a ubiquitous burger and add
other staples and you've got Anna's menu. Most of the
dinnerdishes cost from $6.95 to 12.95, but the break-
fast menu is less than half that.
Laoudis says the most popular dishes are the
breakfast burrito and omelets, the burgers and Greek
salads for lunch and the dinner specials including
spaghetti nights and the Friday fish fry are the big
hits. She adds that the unique pork fritter also tops
the selection list.
"Whatever we serve:' Laoudis says, "is made
completely fresh. We try to let customers know that
their meal may take a little longer because it is all pre-
pared to order. If you order fish, it has to be battered
and fried,' she says. "It's not pre-battered or frozen
and just dumped into hot grease. Everything is done
right here'
Every second Saturday of the month is Greek
night where the menu switches from traditional diner
fare to an all-Greek menu. Topping that list, Laoudis

says, is the Spanokopita (a Green spinach and cheese
pie) and Mousakka (a ground beef dish).
"We serve all the favorite Greek foods and des-
serts on that night,' she says.
On Fridays,the fish fry costing $6.95 for pollack
and $8.95 for catfish, fills the diner.
But one of the highlights is the monthly Elvis
tribute. It is held the third Saturday of each month
and features live entertainment where an Elvis im-
personator deliv-
ers the King's mu-
sic while Laoudis'
staff serves up all
the diner clas-
sics on the menu.
The Elvis show is
offered at 5 p.m.
for early birds
and again at 7 for
the later dinner

"It's a lot of fun:' Laoudis said. "People seem to
have a real good time"
Anna's isn't Laoudis' first diner, so she knows what
she's doing. She had a traditional diner in New Jersey
before opting to spend five years in Greece,where she
picked up many of the recipes she features.
Joined by daughters Anna (for whom the diner
is named) and Caroline, Anna's employs 10 people to
make sure customers' needs are met. "We offer good
fresh food, good service and a good time:' she said.
Anna's Diner is open from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 a.m. To 9 p.m.
on Friday and Saturdays and from 7:30 a.m. Until 2

MATRIARCH
FROM PAGE 1
She taught home economics and math
for seven years before serving as a
guidance counselor for five years.
After receiving her certification from
the University of South Florida, she
became an assistant principal first
in discipline, then in curriculum and
has since served in administration.
Under her leadership, the school
has excelled academically, as she has
flawlessly implemented new state
educational standards and initiatives,
and helped teachers to better under-
stand them.
Having gone through five positions in
over four decades has made her career
both ever changing and challenging.
Adjusting to her new positions was
her biggest challenge, which she man-
aged to overcome through hard work,
study and dedication.
She attributes her success to the aid
of her past mentors, having served
under eight superintendents, eight
principals, more than 20 assistant
principals, and hundreds of teachers.
As others have supported her
endeavors, she seeks to support oth-
ers in theirs. She considers herself a
servant leader, enriching her own life
by enriching the lives of others.
"We're a team, and hopefully that will
be how they see me, as part of a team,"
Bush said. "I am there to help them be
successful."
During her career, she has fostered a
sense .of community within the school,
becoming regularly involved with
school functions and activities, espe-
cially athletics.
She has been a full-fledged Bulldog
all her life, starting as a Georgia
Bulldogs fan, and now being a
Frostproof Bulldogs fan.
Her love for the Bulldogs can be


seen in her office, which is covered
with team memorabilia. She regularly
attends football games and reads the
sports coverage in the newspaper.
Having served for more than 40
years, she has influenced generations
of Frostproof residents, with many of
her former students now the parents of
current students, and some even being
her co-workers.
Her close relationship and involve-
ment with students and staff has made
the school a second family for her.
"She takes them all personally to
heart," said principal secretary Ginger
Spence. "She's not so much my co-
worker as she is my second mom."
Once a student in her home eco-
nomics class in ninth grade, Spence
now works closely with Bush as her
secretary.
Not only has their close relationship
made Bush a mother figure to Spence,
but also a grandmother figure for her
grandchildren, who live down the street
from Bush, and visit her more often
than they do Spence. -
So personable is her relationship
with others that school hardly seems
like work for them. When Windham
was interviewed for this article, he had
recently spoken with her in her office,
but could not recall whether they were
talking about work or their personal
lives.
Windham says he owes his success
to Bush, who helped mentor and guide
him through his nine-year career at
the school, and helped him reach his
current position as principal.
He had told her. the day he became
principal that the day she retired would
be his most stressful, knowing that
he would lose someone with valuable
knowledge and wisdom of the school's
inner workings; and now that she has
retired, the burden on his shoulders
feels much heavier.
Now that Bush has retired, she
plans to focus on being a housewife


and working on her sewing and
cross-stitching.
She lives with her husband, John.
She owes her success to his support.
She does not have any children, but
she does have three dogs, she jokingly
replied.
Having been with the school for as
long as she has, especially with the


How many times

that takes the cake"

ment party recently

hard work and heart she has placed
into it all these years, will make it diffi-
cult for some to adjust to her absence.
"I've never been in the school with-
out Mrs. Bush here," said language
arts teacher Holly McCraw. "So it's
going to be different for me to walk
through the doors and not have her
here."

The veterinary pharmacy


One of the beautiful things about
veterinary medicine is that, for the
most part, your needs are fulfilled
under one roof.
If your dog comes in limping, you
can get X-rays, bloodwork and surgery
done all in the same place. And if your
pet needs to go home with medica-
tions, either for treatment of a disease
or prevention (such as heartworm or
flea), you head home with what you
need and do not have to make an extra
stop. However, there is a great deal of
speculation that within a few years
the veterinary pharmacy, within small
animal practices, will be non-existent.
As a veterinarian, one of my biggest
concerns about losing our pharmacy
is losing that connection with my
patients. For example, if I start a cat
on daily medication for an over-active
thyroid gland, I know that I will see that
owner in the hospital at least every six
weeks to refill their medication. That
is a perfect opportunity for a quick
check-in to ask how Boots is doing,
and to hear perhaps that he's had a
little vomiting over the last week. This
is something I would certainly want to


Dr. Ashley Lab







address in relation to this medication,
but not something that a human medi-
cine pharmacist may be familiar with.
If I were to write a prescription for
this cat for a six-week supply of medi-
cation, with three refills, I may not have
this interaction with the owner for six
months or a year.
Internet pharmacies have opened
a whole new concern for us. One
concern is that we veterinarians are
often leftout of making decisions about
appropriate medications for the pet's
health. With such an array of products
available, I'm often surprised to learn
what all my patients may be taking.
And perhaps of even more concern are
the medications they should be taking,


but are not. Unfortunately, with the
Internet the personal veterinary con-
nection is not there to aid you in mak-
ing decisions. Two common situations
I encounter are one, a dog scratching
their ears, so an owner may purchase
an over-the-counter ear mite remedy. If
in a week or two, they are still scratch-
ing their ears and shaking their heads,
I will have the chance to examine their
ears. Commonly the ears are infected,
but the ear mite medication cannot
treat that. The other common concern
is when discussing heartworm and
flea control. Families may be using a
product that they believe was prevent-
ing both, but then come to discover
they have not been giving their pet
heartworm prevention.
Aside from the above concerns about
Internet and some big retail pharma-
cies, there are also questions as to
where the medications are coming
from, and if are they legitimate prod-
ucts. Most veterinary drug distributors
do not sell their products to these
pharmacies, because they recognize
the importance of the patient's veteri-
narian being involved. However, these


PHOTOS PROVIDED
As a veterinarian, one of Ashley Lab's biggest
concerns is about that the pharmacy is losing
a connection with her patients.
products still appear for sale online and
in other pharmacies.
Where are they coming from? We
don't know all the answers. If I know
a particular product being offered for
sale online is not coming from a direct
source, I am fearful that it may not be
effective or may even be harmful. I
recommend working with your veteri-
narian to make sure the products your
pets are receiving are safe and effective.
We are here to be advocates for your
pets and to keep them healthy.

Preparing pets for hurricane season


Hurricane season is now upon us
-running from June 1-Nov. 30 and
experts predict 18 named storms and
nine hurricanes, four of which may be
major hurricanes.
The entire Atlantic and Gulf coasts
are considered high-risk areas. Inland
areas are affected by the high winds,
floods and tornadoes. The best pro-
tection is to have a plan and these
should include the entire family and
that includes the pets. To help pet
owners prepare for hurricane season,
TripsWithPets.com provides an online
Disaster Preparedness and Resource
Guide for Pets, www.tripswithpets.
com/prepare.
The most important part of a disaster
plan is to prepare for an evacuation.
Red Cross disaster shelters cannot ac-
cept pets because of states' health and
safety regulations and other consider-
ations. Further, most kennels, veteri-
narians, and animal shelters are usually
filled beyond capacity. TripsWithPets.
come's Disaster Preparedness and
Resource Guide for Pets offers a pet
evacuation plan checklist, complete
with resources on finding a safe place
for pets to stay, what to do if pets are
home alone when disaster strikes, as
well as recommended items to include
in a Pet Evacuation & Disaster Kit.
In addition, the TripsWithPets.com

rangers of leaving your pet
in a parked car
With the summer months upon us,
pet travel is at its height and it's time
for a reminder about the dangers
of leaving your pet in a parked car.
Whether you're parking in the shade,
just running into the store, or leav-
ing the windows cracked, it is still
not OK to leave your pet in a parked
car.
The temperature inside a car can
skyrocket after just a few minutes.
Parking in the shade or leaving the


windows cracked does very little to
alleviate this pressure cooker.
On a warm, sunny day try turning
your car off, cracking your windows
and sitting there. It will only be a few
short minutes before it becomes un-
bearable. Imagine how your helpless
pet will feel. On an 85-degree day, for
example, the temperature inside a car
with the windows cracked can reach
102 degrees within only ten minutes.
After 30 minutes, the temperature will
reach 120 degrees. At 110 degrees,
pets are in danger of heat stroke. On
hot and humid days, the temperature
in a car parked in direct sunlight can
rise more than 30 degrees per minute,
and quickly become lethal.
Stanford University School of
Medicine conducted a study to
measure the temperature rise inside
a parked car on sunny days with
highs ranging from 72 to 96 degrees
F. Their results showed that a car's
interior can heat up by an average of
40 degrees F within an hour, regard-
less of ambient temperature. Ambient
temperature doesn't matter it's
whether it's sunny out. Eighty percent
of the temperature rise occurred
within the first half-hourEven on a
relatively cool day, the temperature
inside a parked car can quickly spike
to life-threatening levels if the sun is
out.
Further, the researchers noted
that much like the sun warms a
greenhouse in winter; it also warms
a parked car on cool days. In both
cases, the sun heats up a mass of
air trapped under glass. Precautions
such as cracking a window or run-
ning the air conditioner prior to
parking the car were found to be
inadequate.
"If more people knew the danger
of leaving their pets in their parked
car, they wouldn't do it," said Kim
Salerno, TripsWithPets.com president
and founder. "Pets are very suscep-
tible to overheating as they are much
less efficient at cooling themselves
than people are" adds Salerno. The
solution is simple leave your pets at
home if the place you are going does
not allow pets.
Dogs are designed to conserve
heat. Their sweat glands, which exist
on their nose and the pads of their


feet, are inadequate for cooling dur-
ing hot days. Panting and drinking
water helps cool them, but if they
only have hot air to breathe, dogs can
suffer brain and organ damage after
just 15 minutes. Short-nosed breeds,
young pets, seniors or pets with
weight, respiratory, cardiovascular or
other health problems are especially
susceptible to heat-related stress.
Signs of heat stress include heavy
panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse,
unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomit-
ing or a deep red or purple tongue. If a
pet becomes overheated, immediately
lowering their body temperature is a
must.
Move the pet into the shade and
apply cool (not cold) water all over
their body to gradually lower their
temperature.
Apply ice packs or cool towels to the
pet's head, neck and chest only.
Allow the pet to drink small
amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes.


FILE PHOTO
,Plan for pets along with yourself, and be sure
to put them in a carrier during the hurricane.
Then take the pet to the nearest vet.
Animal Services Officers or other law
enforcement officers are authorized
to remove any animal left in an unat-
tended vehicle that is exhibiting signs
of heat stress by using the amount of
force necessary to remove the animal,
and shall not be liable for any damages
reasonably related to the removal. The
pet owner may be charged with animal
cruelty.

Discover program may be in jeopardy


Program for seventh-graders at Discovery


Center


may be cut from budget


By ALIDA SCHAT
ASCHAT@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
With the school year officially over,
many teachers are in the process of
planning next year's curriculum for
their students. Polk's Nature Discovery
Center teacher, Sherri Brownkatz was
in this process when she received a
notice the first week of May that she
and Kim Rex were being repurposed
from their positions at the Discovery
Center to science teacher positions at a
district middle school.
"It was a complete surprise. We were
not expecting it at all," said Brownkatz
of the decision to repurpose the two
teaching positions. The Discovery
Center is located at Circle B Bar
Reserve and boasts more than 12,000
acres of natural wildlife.
The decision is part of the mandate
to balance the $12.7 million education
budget deficit by July 1. This decision
will end 1he curriculum based Eco-Lab
program for seventh-graders that al-
lows students to take a field trip to the
Discovery Center.
"They don't get it in the classroom.
We always tell the kids, 'You're study-
ing an ecosystem. We cannot bring an
ecosystem to you so we bring you out
to actually experience it.' Something
that reading out of a book will never do
for you is give you an experience," said
Brownkatz.
The program was made possible
by a three-way partnership among
the Polk County Commission, the
school board of Polk County and the
Southwest Florida Water Management
District, with the goal being to provide
hands-on learning experiences in an
outdoor setting that engage students in
investigating the value of Polk County's
natural resources.
When the students come on their
field trip to the Discovery Center they
are given a set of materials to complete
the lab, which includes hand-held
computers, a set of binoculars, sci-
entific probe ware, species identity
sheets, a log book, and other tools to
gather lab samples. "(This program)
combines technology with the natural
world," said Brownkatz. Much of the
curriculum is based around educat-
ing students of human impact on the
natural world and teaching them where
their drinking water comes from.
"There's an old quote, 'If you don't
know about it you won't care about it.
If you don't love it, you're not going to
do anything for it," said Brownkatz.
A self described "outdoors person,"
Brownkatz sets up the Eco-Lab so
that students can see for themselves
the water quality levels of local water
sources and learn about the threat
of sinkholes and saltwater intrusion
along the coast. "These are the voters
of the future," said Brownkatz, who
believes hands-on learning is crucial to
their education.
Throughout the process of coming
up with a plan to balance the educa-
tion budget deficit, the Polk County
school board has avoided making
direct cuts to staff and programs that
affect the education of Polk County's
students. People and programs are
the last place the board has looked to
make cuts to, said District 4 school
board member Dick Mullenax. "So far
we have not had to touch the students
and the classroom," said Mullenax.
"This is directly affecting their sci-
ence education," said Brownka-tz, who
is hoping for a community response
that will cause the district to recon-
sider the cut to the seventh-grade
program. "I don't have a solution (to
the budget deficit) but I certainly think
that this (program) is necessary. Kids


need hands-on. It can't all be out of a
book," said Brownkatz. The universal
consensus is that these are tough times
and balancing the deficit is a difficult
task.
"All the easy cuts have been made,"
said Mullenax.
"It is a fact that we were told by
Becky Braaten from the Department
of Academic Rigor that we were being
repurposed," said Brownkatz. However,
the school board has not had the
chance to discuss this decision with
the new superintendent, Kathryn
LeRoy. The new superintendent is re-
viewing the budget and plans to bring
her recommendations to the board in
a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, said
Board Chairwoman, Hazel Sellers.
Polk County Association President,
Marianne Capoziello agrees that
the primary goal is to make sure the
students are getting the education that
they need.
"At the moment my goal is to have
some open conversation with the new
superintendent," said Capoziello, who
plans to voice her opposition to any
mention of casting the blame towards
the teachers.
"While this center has been very
valuable, we have to prioritize where
we're making these cuts," said Sellers.
If the Discovery Center program does
in fact get cut, Sellers hopes that the
district will be able to find a way to still
give students the meaningful hands-on
experience that the Eco-Lab program
provided.
Though Brownkatz and Rex will both
have jobs next year, the district saves
money by not having to hire two new
teachers to take the science teacher
positions that they will be filling.
"This is my dream job," said
Brownkatz of her position at the
Discovery Center. "If you're a teacher
today, you have to really be dedicated
and you have to know that what you
do is for the kids."
During these economically hard
times, the reward of being a teacher
does not come from the salary, but
from the joy of seeing students happy
while learning something worthwhile,
said Brownkatz. One day, Brownkatz
had a student come up to her and say,
"This is the best field trip I've had in
10 years!" "Well, he's 13 years old. He
hasn't been in school for 10 years. They
are so funny," said Brownkatz.
The response from parents and
classroom teachers has been positive
too, regarding the Discovery Center
Eco-Lab experience. In an anonymous
final evaluation of the program,
parents and teachers were given the
chance to leave their comments of the
program.
One evaluator wrote, "There were
many kids that surprised me and I
think this trip may have been life-alter-
ing to them. I saw glimmers of possible
biologists/scientists in students that
I had never seen before and that was
really cool. This trip gave them the
hands-on experience that goes beyond
just meeting the standards ... they got
to experience life! Let's see the FCAT
measure that!"

FEELING



Cool off with home-made infused water


Our bodies are composed of 60 percent
water. This life-sustaining, calorie-free
fluid is essential for every cell and organ.
Many folks consider drinking water
unimportant or boring. This is, in part,
the unfortunate result of decades-long
aggressive marketing campaigns by
commercial beverage manufacturers.
To replace daily large amounts of water,
lost by perspiration, breathing, in urine,
and other waste-expelling mechanisms,
we must drink 6-8 cups of plain water, as
well as additive-free beverages made up
of mostly water. Eating more water-rich
foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables
is also part of a good hydration and
detoxification strategy. Do not, however,
drink more than a half cup liquid with or
immediately after meals.
Water infused with vegetables, herbs, or
fruit, for daily consumption or when you
are having company, is utterly refreshing,
fabulously delicious, attractive in appear-
ance, and nourishing to boot. This type
of beverage is great for staying hydrated
and is filled with vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients from the fresh ingredients
incorporated in it (See recipes below).
When pouring a glass of infused water,
strain into the glass only the amount to
be served. You can garnish it with a sprig
of an herb, or a slice of fruit. Twenty-four
hours after making the enhanced water,
strain the entire amount (if any is left),
and discard its solid ingredients, to
prevent them from rotting in the water.
Once you made a couple of these
low-cal, delicious health-bombs, you can
let your imagination and your creative
juices concoct new combinations, as well
as varying flavor strength: (gradually) add
more water if you prefer only a hint of
flavor. For a more robust taste use larger
amounts of the ingredients added to the.
water. A teaspoon of finely grated ginger


root adds a magnificent, more complex
and tropical flavor to any of these
beverages. Ginger root can be found in
produce sections of most grocery stores.
Additional ingredients which can be
used for scrumptious infused water
are berries, cantaloupe, peach, orange,
honeydew, cilantro, parsley, rosemary,
and other herbs and juicy fruits.
Make your own additive-free, caffeine-
free iced tea from all natural, herbal
tea bags. Do not add sugar, to any of
the drinks or you will defeat your own
wellness endeavor. For a slightly sweeter
taste, if desired, you can add a teaspoon
of honey dissolved in a tablespoon of
warm water.
If you live in Sodaville wean yourself
from soft drinks and other commercial,
health-wrecking drinks which marinate
your body with, artificial food colors, arti-
ficial flavors and sweeteners, corn syrup,
preservatives and/or caffeine. In addition,
the beverages are infinitely more expen-
sive when you also consider the health
issues they cause. Some of the terms
used in labeling these products, such as
"natural" are loosely defined by the Food
and Drug Administration's laws and can
be quite misleading to the consumer.
If you care about your health, cut
down, or better yet eliminate, unhealthy,
calorie-laden beverages,-and make your
own wholesome thirst-quenchers in

minutes. This will also save you buckets
of money, and greatly supports your
weight control effort. You can further save

How to Buy a House Part 2


go t in I e IIIa lrk e ll. la c eB$ 8 0


The second step is to
become pre-qualified for
a home loan. This will let
you know how much you
can afford to spend on a
home, how much down
payment and closing
cost is needed and what
it will cost you to receive
the loan. This is given
to each mortgagee in
a Good Faith Estimate.
As mentioned earlier,
your source of income is
paramount as equally as
your credit score.
When I speak at the
local schools, or even
with my own children, I
tell them I cannot stress
enough how important
it is to build good credit.
Even if they don't have a
W-2 job and perhaps just
earning a small house-
hold income say from
babysitting, they can still
start building and main-
taining a line of credit.
When they purchase or
lease a cell phone ac-
cess in their own name,
this is a small form of
credit worthiness called

An extremely impor-
tant point I make to the
students is whatever
credit payment they have
it is imperative they
make their payments on
time. Credit scoring is
highly based on payment
history, how many late
payments were made
within 30, 60 and 90 days.
It is still highly essential
to keep you debt paid
off or minimized as
much as possible. Again,
your debt ratio, the two
aforementioned criteria
income versus liabilities,
is crucial.

calculate the credit a
little differently from one
or the other, hence the
reason why most credit
reports are shown with
all three scores from
Experian, Equifax and
TransUnion. Usually
your potential lender pre-
fers to "pull your credit"
so that it comes straight
to them along with all
three scores.
All considerations
about score revolve
around the strength of
the economy in general
and investors' appetites
for risk in providing the
funding for borrowers

score is evaluated. In
