The project is the brainchild of Dede LeFils, co-owner of Watson's Pharmacy. She indicated Monday night that she has donated cash in hand for the tree proposal of more than $5,000, with pledges for an additional $3,000. SThat will cover a large portion of the cost of the trees, their instal- lation, and grates. In all, a total of 17 palms would be purchased. In some cases, they will replace existing elm trees, and in other cases, they will be planted in new locations all together. The city will donate services and materials. "With the in-kind labor we would provide, and buying the materi- als, we believe that would be less than $2,000," Croley said. "And we believe two men can do that within four days, depending on the weather." Much of the city work would involve pouring concrete around where the new trees would be located. She also noted that the city would assume the costs of ongoing maintenance once the trees are planted and begin to grow, and that the city might have to rent equip- ment to trim the palms. The plan is to purchase Foxtail palms, which can grow to a maxi- mum height of 30 feet. They are desirable, according to information supplied to the council, because PROJECT 16 The unexpected graduate Down Syndrome doesn't slow down studies of Frostproof teen By JAMES COULTER FROSTPROOFNEWS @ HEARTLAND NEWSPAPERS.COM Having been born with Down Syndrome, and struggling with basic speech and motor skills, Andres Zamora was not expected to make it far in school. But the Frostproof resident proved everyone wrong, having recently graduated and received his school's highest award. Andres, 19, received the Principal's Award at Jean O'Dell Learning Center in Bartow several weeks ago during the school's commencement exercises. The award is conferred to the student who exhibits the traits of a model student. Principal Dr. David Wood chose Andres for the award because of his good behavior, great citizen- ship, and his cooperative spirit. "He's the kindest, most helpful person in every way," Wood said. "He will literally do anything that we ask him to do." Originally, Andres started his schooling at three differ- ent schools: Ben Hill Griffin Jr. Elementary in Frostproof, Hillcrest Elementary in Lake Wales, and Lakeside Elementary in St. Petersburg. PHOTO PROVIDED Andres Zamora and his mother, Beatrice, with his Principal's Award. However, his.; '.'.. parents felt ,. these schools were not well equipped to handle. special needs students. His father, Raul, noted how one of the special needs class- rooms seemed more like a day care, with the students often being left unattended and isolated from the other students, and being looked after rather than educated. They had him transferred to Polk Life and Learning Center, now Jean O'Dell Learning Center, in Bartow, where he has been attend- ing since second grade. Once he was transferred, Andres experienced a major shift in his attitude, his parents said. Whereas he was once reluctant to attend school, he was now more than willing to learn. Living in Frostproof, Andres was the first one on the bus and the GRADUATE 15 Hurricane Guide 2013 inside today's issue I Center of state doesn't make you safe People who lived through 2004 hurricane season remember the danger By ALIDA SCHAT ASCHAT @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM Behind the constant hurricane awareness reminders and information distributed to homeowners and the public in Florida is a team of people devoted to keeping the state safe during and after a hurricane. Bryan Koon, Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management is one of those people. Though Polk County is in the middle of the state, Koon is sure to warn the county of the great threat that hurricanes pose to the area. "Just because Polk County is in the middle of the state doesn't mean you're immune to hurricanes," said Koon. In fact, Polk County is highly susceptible to hurricane impacts because the county is so large. Remnants of storms are likely to hit at least one area of the county in its path of destruction. "You won't get the storm surge but you'll still get those high winds," said Koon. Tornadoes and flooding are likely to affect Polk County when a hurricane strikes the coast, added Koon.

Charter system seeks to add ag-centered middle school By BRENDA EGGERT BROADER BBRADER@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM The Lake Wales Charter Schools Bok Academy (middle school) has a more than 400-student waiting list. Some Bok students are asking for agriculture- related instruction. Solution another school. Not quite that simple, but close, the just launched idea by the Lake Wales Charter Schoo6l was announced at the LWCS retreat on Monday at the Lake Wales Senior High School. Clearly, it will take years to plan and institute, said LWCS Counsel Robin Gibson and Schools Superintendent Jesse Jackson as they shared the information. Plans for another method to alleviate the need for middle school student room, "is planned out, so the emphasis shifts" Gibson said. "Bok Academy has a waiting list of more than 400 students. Those kids want a middle school educa- tion that has become an issue." Bok Tower (Gardens) is a "terrific edu- cation opportunity" for the science of horticulture and agriculture, right next door to the Lake Wales High School. "The Polk County School District owns the land beyond the high school girls' softball field," Gibson said. "The surrounding area there is a conserva- tion and agricultural easement that protects Bok Tower Gardens and the endangered plant species at Bok. Now with the waiting list and a terrific program in horticulture and agriculture it doesn't take too many large leaps to see where this takes us. We have no plans yet, no agreements, and the Polk County School District would have to be consulted, but we want to provide the pilot school for this program." With the LWCS creating and design- ing a new school, it has the student body interest for the agricultural program supporting the local economy. With no property cost, the program would benefit the overall program. The LWCS Foundation foresees a two-year timeline with one year planning the school by a task force made up of people from the current affected schools, Bok Tower, the Warner University and others. "This goal now would be to facilitate and expand career opportunities for students and be a feeder into the high school." ........ .............. : i !

Last Friday in a ceremony at the Bartow Civic Center, he was installed in front of some 400 members. "I worked in the British government so I understand about rising to your level of incompetence. I think in the United States you call it the Peter Principle. I do reserve the right that if things go wrong I hold myself to that." He will be visiting the Frostproof club later this summer or fall. The Frostproof club meets the first and third Thursday of each month at the Frostproof Care Center community room. Among the projects the club is involved in is high school scholarships, dictionaries for all fifth-grade students at Ben Hill Griffin Jr. Elementary school, and an annual schoolteacher and staff appreciation breakfast for some district leader is now nearby 200 workers at the three local schools. Most recently, the club donated $250 to an initiative that will spruce up downtown Frostproof with new foxtail palms. Robertson-Burnett was recruited into the Bartow club about 10 years ago. "I was hesitant at first because I was familiar with the Rotary Club in England and I didn't want to drink beer that early," he said. "Then I found out there was iced tea... and it was cold." But failing is not in Robertson-Bumrnett's background. In England he owned the George Hotel, a fashionable resort. Here he ran the Stanford Inn Bed and Breakfast and sold it in 2009. In Rotary, he was the Bartow Rotary president in 2008-09. He was the Assistant Governor Group 7 from 2009-2011. He graduated from the Rotary Leadership Institute. He was the chairman of the District Bike Ride in 2010 and for the district conference in 2011 and 2012. His district awards include two Assistant Governor awards, the District'Thinking out of the Box' award 2010 and District Rotarian of the Year Award in 2011. Cited for his ability to think outside the box, he looks forward to leading the district in the next year. The job as district governor is to not only help clubs start and continue service projects, but to cheer them on along the way District 6890 serves 45 Rotary Clubs in 18 cities, which includes Frostproof, Avon Park and Lake Wales. Former district governor and Friday's emcee Bill Stuart assured members his colleagues ability to think outside the box will certainly help the clubs in the next year. In the change of leadership, the cur- rent District Governor, Tom Wade from NewTampa Club, turned over the district governor banner that will hang in the club's meetings for the next year. It will be the first time since the 1980s since the banner was there when Stuart was the district governor. The other district governor from the Bartow Club was Stephen Grimes. However, how many times Robertson- Burnett sees that banner is another matter. He plans to visit with every club in the next year, he said. In describing what a district governor does, John Smarge, a former district governor and the guest speaker at Friday's convention used a former UCLA college basketball coach as an example. A girls basketball coach himself, who over the last three years had only one loss, he cited Wooden as one of his role models. Wooden in his 12 years as UCLA's head coach won 10 NCAA titles including seven in a row and compiled a 620-147 career record from 1959-1975. "Wooden wanted to establish a cult of excellence," Smarge said. "He didn't care about wins and loses, but that was what happened when this cult of excellence was established." He said Rotary is much like that: Put in the hard work because it is necessary. "Wooden never left the bench when he coached. The value of preparation out- weighs anything he could do on the court. Wooden took responsibility when the team did poorly and pushed off applause when the team did well and gave the credit always to his players." And Robertson-Bumett, drawing from one of his favorite sports of car racing, said riding the marbles is what he plans to do in the next year. "You have to take chances," he said, de- scribing what riding the marbles is. "If you follow the driving lane you get a smooth ride but you probably won't be successful and it won't be challenging. If you ride on the high lanes and ride where the marbles are you'll go faster. That's what we're going to do over the next year." Frostproof News Page 3 June 19. 2013 i Page 4 Frostproof News June 19, 2013 VIEWPOINT An Amazon deal that brings jobs, revenues Although Internet consumers may not be thrilled, last week's announcement that Internet giant Amazon may be building a 1 million-square-foot warehouse in Hillsborough County is very good news for Central Florida and good news for the state and business community. Gov. Rick Scott announced last Thursday that Amazon would move operations to Florida as early as next year and create more than 3,000 new jobs. According to the Tampa Bay Times, about one-third would come at a huge, $200 million "state of the art" warehouse in Ruskin. Quoting county commission- ers, the Times reported 375 jobs at the facility would pay in the $47,500 range. The deal would include some $6.6 million in local financial incentives, but Hillsborough County officials were extremely enthu- siastic about the prospect. State incentives are also expected. This is excellent news for the state's and the region's economy. It also will bring a boost in state tax revenues. Right now, Florida law requires sales tax be paid on Our Viewpoint all Internet sales, but that rarely occurs. The reason is that state law puts the onus of payment on consum- ers, not on businesses, in cases where the retailer does not maintain a physical location in the state. The law is a joke. Few consumers actually pay up voluntarily. There is no enforcement, no Big-Brother online tax checker. Retailers like Walmart, which do have stores here, charge state tax with orders. All the other traditional bricks and-mortar businesses the gift shops, hardware stores, clothing outlets and department stores also charge tax with Internet orders. This puts them at a significant competitive disadvantage. With the new warehouses, Amazon will start charging Floridians the 6 percent tax which was due all along. The tax revenues are significant. The Florida Retail Association estimated some 10 to 20 percent of total Internet retail sales in the state come through Amazon, which sells everything from books, baby carriers and bike helmets to chain saws and weed-whackers. Collection of the tax could bring an estimated $40 million to $90 million in additional state revenues, the Retail Association estimates. The downside is that Amazon's online consumers may soon have to actually pay what's due. The tax holiday is over in Florida. But it's only fair. The tax-free status of online retailers hurts the local businesses that invest in our communities, hire local workers, pay local taxes and contribute to community organizations. There's no legitimate reason Main Street businesses should be 6 percent in the hole when they open their door. Kudos to the Scott administration for getting this done on what appear to be favorable terms; earlier negotiations fell through after the governor took a harder stance. We also hope the Amazon deal will not slow the movement to compel all online retailers to collect state sales tax themselves. There's no valid reason to give one style of business a competitive advantage of this size. Letters to the editor Youth production at Little Theater is a hit It's not very often that I feel obligated to take pen in hand but I feel compelled to call the current production at the Lake Wales Little Theater to the atten- tion of my fellow citizens.

They say I don't understand. They say the word no longer means what it has always meant. They say it's just a friendly fraternal greeting. I say one cannot arbitrarily decide that a word especially an old and bloodstained word suddenly means something other than what it always has. I say that, while language does change over time, it doesn't do so because a few of us want it to or tell it to. And I say that if I call you an "idiot," but say that "idiot" now means "genius," you will be no less insulted. Leonard [mm Does that seem logical?

He would leave as early as 5:45 a.m., and return home as late as 5 p.m. His teachers were better trained to teach special needs and were sup- portive of his academic endeavors, patiently working with him on a one-on-one basis. He also received much support from his parents, who not only helped him with his school work, but in the case of his mother, also volunteered at his school. The support from his teachers and family, coupled with his new dili- gence to learn, ensured that Andres excelled in his academics, especially in areas where he had previously struggled. "He's done really well," said Doug Andrews, one of his teachers for eight years. "He's advanced further than his parents and he thought he could because he has a lot of poten- tial, and there's a lot of things that he didn't think he could do, and we showed him he could do them." The biggest improvement has been his speech. As with most Down syndrome children, Andres had difficulty keeping his tongue in his mouth while speaking; but years of speech therapy has ensured that he can control his tongue in more ways than one. Now he can carry on a conversa- tion with others, especially over the phone, though his natural shyness prevents him from opening up to strangers. His reading and writing has also improved. He can now legibly write his name without referring to it on another piece of paper. His favorite school subjects includ- ed math, computers, and agriculture. In athletics, he has been involved with bowling and bocce ball, two sports in which he does exception- ally well. For five years, he has participated in the Special Olympics, where he has won several ribbons and medals. "He tries so hard to do something, even if he can't do it the best, you can see that effort that is always there for him to do the best," Coach Robert Steele said. "In fact, his mom has to tell me to take it easy on him because of his physical limitations, and he doesn't want to pay attention to that." Never has Andres been a bad sport. Even when he loses, he maintains a good attitude and good sportsmanship. Win or lose, he always cheered on his teammates, and was always there for them to lend his support. His coach foresees a future career for him, claiming he has the skill and athletic prowess to continue participating in the Special Olympics for the rest of his life. - Aside from school sports, Andres loves bowling and playing basket- ball. He has a vested interest in electronics and is capable of using various devices including the family computer, iPhone, iPod, and camera. His parents claim that he knows more about electronics than the rest of the family. He loves music, his favorite genre being '80s pop, and his favorite instrument is the guitar. Whenever he listens to the radio, he plays air guitar along with the music. He loves to collect novelty sun- glasses and magazines, especially those with photographs such as National Geographic. Aside from his academics, Andres has improved with household skills. He is extremely well-organized and independent, capable of cleaning after himself, grooming himself, and cooking his own food. Andres always maintains a posi- tive, optimistic attitude. Rarely is he ever in a bad mood. Every day is a good day for him, and a smile always graces his face. Now that Andres has graduated, his parents plan to keep him at home for a year in order to give him a break. Afterwards, when he is ready, he will attend the school's transition program, which helps graduates adjust to life after school, to transi- tion from a school environment to a work environment. His parents plan to have him in- volved with church and community service, motivating him to socialize with the public rather than remain secluded at home. Whatever his future plans may be, Andres is sure to do well with it. He was capable of making it through MY FLESH AND BLOOD God sent you here to teach me Some things I did not know Through different eyes I now see Individual paths that we all go You're not what I had dreamed of The young man I thought you'd be But you no question I love God chose you just for me The struggles they are worth it We climb mountains every day Together a fire we have lit We're a team in every way On the mountain we slip and slide Sometimes I get morose Although it is a rocky ride A life I never chose I couldn't imagine my life Without you by my side We do experience much strife It floats in and out like the tide In the end itfs worth the work A special young man you are Special awe of you does lurk You have come so far I know that you will continue to grow I never have a doubt school, and he is more than capable of making it through life. His life serves as an inspiration for others, proving that they can succeed in life, regardless of their abilities. "To families who have special needs, don't give up," his mother Beatrice said. She penned a special poem in her son's honor. "Have faith in yourself and faith in your child and never give up. It's a challenge but hold on there." PITTS FROM PAGE 4 responded to a letter from members of the House Congressional Native American Caucus questioning the ap- propriateness of the name "Redskins." That name, wrote Goodell, "is a unifying force that stands for strength. courage, pride and respect." The team took the name in 1933, he noted, to honor then coach William "Lone Star" Dietz, who was reputedly (it is a matter of historical dispute) an American Indian. "Neither in intent nor use was the name ever meant to denigrate Native Americans or offend any group," he wrote. In other words, we have changed -the meaning. It no longer means what it has always meant. As it happens Goodell's letter fol- lows a novel though ultimately failed effort earlier this year by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights to ban Indian team names and mascots at primary and secondary schools. The complaint MDCR filed with the Education Department argued that such things are not merely insulting, but damaging. It cited the work of Di. Stephanie Fryberg, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona who has studied the effects of the team names and imagery on Native American students. She has found empirical proof that those names and imagery lead to lowered self esteem and sense of com- munity worth among American Indian kids. They also damage aspirations and heighten anxiety and depression. In other words, seeing their people reduced to mascots is toxic to Indian children. And if the names and images in general are damaging, how much more harmful is "Redskins"? That name, after all, was never neutral, but was, rather, a hateful epithet hurled by people who were stealing from and committing genocide against, those they saw as savage and subhuman. So calling a football team the "Washington Redskins" as a way of honoring an Indian makes precisely as much sense as calling a soccer team "The Warsaw Kikes" as a way of honoring a Jew. Fans of franchises bearing Indian names often resist changing them out of sentiment. Owners meanwhile, are loath to tamper with lucrative trademarks. That's understandable. But it is also short-sighted. You can delude yourself all you want. Things are what they are, and as Rick Perry learned in 2011 when he was called to answer for a certain inconve- niently named rock, this nation's ugly racial past has a way of poking through the polite lies and evasions we use to prettify history and justify ourselves. So it is with Washington's football team and its nickname. This is not about honor and even less about "strength, courage, pride and respect." It is rather, about moral integrity, intellectual honesty and the immutable weight of certain words. Whether we choose to acknowledge it, or never do, doesn't change the fact: "Redskins" is a curse word. Leonard PittsJr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

LaRochelle, Sr., 66, of Lake Wales passed away Wednesday, June 12, 2013, at Lake Wales Medical Center. Albert was born Sept. 9, 1946, in Secaucus, N.J., to the late Rosario H. and Doris R. (Fontaine) LaRochelle and has been a resident of this area since 1983. He retired from the Lake Wales Country Club after 30 years and was a former member of the Moose Lodge. He collected clocks and enjoyed vegetable gardening, music, wind chimes and shopping at Walmart. He also volun- teered at the Habitat for Humanity. Survivors include his daughter, Doris R.

PROJECT FROM PAGE 1 they have a shallow root system that shouldn't impact sidewalks and other infrastructure, and that they don't require a lot of regular, ongo- ing maintenance. City Councilwoman Diana Webster-Biehl, who was not at a meeting earlier this month when the idea was first broached, heartily endorsed the plan, and the vote to move forward with the project was unanimous. "I think the plan is a benefit to the city of Frostproof. The beautification of the downtown area reinforces what we are trying to build, which is a viable, classic, old-fashioned, lovely small town," she said. "I think the plan is a wonderful approach. It has support that people are willing to put money up front to make it happen. It creates an image. In my opinion, the city investing in the downtown business community for this kind of thing is what most cities do that have a forward looking vision." She agreed that the current trees don't do much to enhance the city's appearance. Words of Comfort We sit beneath the night sky by the whisper of the windsong...in the quiet of darkness. And they are never far. Those we have loved and .--.. cherished, those who have c h i rhinr,,-, our lives in some small or profound way are closer than we know, because it is their light that shines on our world. It is the brilliance of their souls that makes our night sky glow. Anonymous "The trees we have right now are not maintained, watered, they're scraggly. It was a great concept but it didn't carry through," Webster- Biehl added. "I'd like to see the city go ahead with it. If we don't start doing something to add to the appeal of the downtown area, we're going to be stuck in the mud and there will be opportunities lost." LeFils said virtually everyone she has talked to and solicited money from has been very supportive. "When I called all these people, everyone was excited about it," she said. "I didn't get one negative comment." There was some discussion about the trees, and where they might be placed in front of the Ramon Theater. Biehl, who is president of the theater, said officials there want to make sure whatever is done does not detract from that building's architecture. Ralph Water also expressed con- cern that the trees might actually get too tall, but in the end, voted with his colleagues to endorse the plan. "I think we're trying to make Frostproof look more tropical than just another city," Councilwoman Martha Neher said.

Bill Nelson's provision for creating a trust fund for agricultural research to combat the deadly citrus greening disease that's threating Florida's $9 billion annual industry. Additionally, the Florida Democrat received public pledges of support from two key Senate colleagues, Max Baucus and Debbie Stabenow, who chair the Finance and Agriculture committees, respectively. Both lawmakers gave Nelson open decla- rations in support of the citrus trust fund on the Senate floor. Any differences between House of Representatives bills with the Senate's will be worked out by a conference panel over which Baucus and Stabenow would likely be highly influential. Thus, their support is seen as a big boost in the so-far uphill battle against one of the most deadly invaders ever of Florida's citrus crop, Nelson indicated. In a report out last year, University of Florida researchers found the greening disease cost Florida's economy $4.5 billion and 8,000 jobs between 2006 and 2012. "We won't be growing citrus in Florida much longer, if we don't soon find a cure," Nelson warned in a speech to the Senate earliertoday. If the House accepts the citrus fund language, Nelson's office estimated that as much $150 million over five years could go toward research, which would be on top of $11 million Nelson already has secured to help combat the disease. The funding for the research would come from a tariff on imported citrus. The House has its own $940 billion version of the farm bill. Compared with the Senate bill, the House ver- sion has less money for food stamps and nutrition, or $743 billion over 10 years. There's also less money for conservation, slightly deeper cuts to commodity payments and a bit more money for crop insurance, thanks to a number of rules used to calculate V Mobile o V Homeowners V Auto Insurance Now Selling Garage Liability, General Liability, RV, Motorcycle, ATV, Commerical Call Ashely or Come By For A FREE ESTIMATE. For Your Insurance Coverage Needs on payments. (Under the Senate bill, for instance, farmers could lose their funding for premiums if they convert wetlands to crop production; the House doesn't have that provision.) The House is planning to take up its version this week, though there are still plenty of disagreements within the chamber particularly on how the bill cuts food-stamp funding. The House and Senate bills will then have to be reconciled. U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., a member of the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, got money from the Agriculture Appropriations approved by the full committee last week that includes his requests for citrus disease research. "A strong citrus industry in Florida is critical to growing our economy and creating jobs in our state, but it's also vital to maintaining a safe, affordable and abundant food sup- ply for our nation," Rooney said. "Unfortunately, diseases like citrus greening are driving many of our growers out of business and crip- pling our industry." Rooney noted that since 1997, total citrus acreage in Florida has fallen by 25 percent, from 600,000 acres to 450,000 acres. Unless that trend is reversed, experts believe the state's annual crop will become too small to sustain existing processing plants, costing the state much-needed jobs and its status as a top citrus producer. "By cutting waste in other areas and setting clear priorities, the Agriculture Appropriations bill we approved in committee today will save taxpayers money overall, while providing a much-needed increase in funding for citrus disease research." The Senate last Monday voted 66-27 to approve a massive farm bill that will set the course of U.S. food policy. The old farm bill expired last year, and its replacement is 1,150 pages long, costing some $955 billion over 10 years.

By Jason A. Penrod, Esquire When people think of estate planning, the document most people immediately focus on is a Last Will & Testament (often simply referred to as a "Will"). While many people realize a Will is an important document, people often have questions about Wills and whether it is necessary to execute one. This article will address the importance of executing a Will and what may happen when a person passes away without having executed one. First, what is a Will? It is a legal instrument that permits a person, the testator, to make decisions on how his or her estate will be managed and distributed at death. Each state has its own specific requirements for how a Will is to be executed. For example, Florida law mandates that a Will be in writing, be executed by the testator in a prescribed manner, and that this execution occur in the presence of two witnesses who are also to sign the Will along with the testator. A Will handles some important issues. It enables someone to designate who he or she would like to serve as the executor of the estate. In Florida, we refer to the executor as the Personal Representative. The Personal Representative's role is fundamentally to manage the affairs of the decedent after he or she passes. In addition, a Will provides direction on how one's estate is to be distributed to beneficiaries. This can be particularly important when we consider concerns such as unequal amounts being left to different heirs, children or grandchildren receiving monies at an early age, and beneficiaries with special needs. Moreover, for couples with young children, a Will grants the opportunity for parents to designate Guardians for their young children were they to pass while their children still needed care and upbringing. If a probate is required, and the decedent did not have a valid Will, then the probate will be administered according to intestacy law. In Florida, the legislature has passed intestacy statutes that can best be described as the parameters for .it believes a "typical" person would want an estate administered. However, and as discussed in my last article, the "typical" person legislation and the way that you would want your estate to be handled may be drastically different. In other words, the intestacy statutes, which are very rigid, may prescribe an outcome that one would not desire. For example, if a person has multiple children, he or she may trust one child over another with the administration duties. Perhaps a sibling that the decedent had not talked to in years is successful at becoming the Personal Representative. Quite simply, by executing a well thought out Will, one can be proactive and avoid pitfalls while also ensuring his or her wishes are followed. In conclusion, we all owe ourselves the respect of having our true wishes known and executed. If you have questions as to whether you, or your loved ones, need a Last Will & Testament or need to change its language, I suggest that you contact a knowledgeable Estate Planning or Elder Law Attorney for such assistance.

At the side of the well-known and well liked homeless man was his devoted dog Jethro, a 2-year old Cur. Neither Hernandez or Meeks would survive the inferno, but Jethro did, providing a small smile at the end of an horrific tragedy. "He was with him 24-7," said Tiger Godwin, who fostered Jethro after receiving treatment at the Fort Meade Animal Clinic. Jethro suffered painful, but not life-threatening burns, around his head and neck and ears, according to Dr. Lori Shank. "He was a real trooper. Even in his discomfort, he always had a gentle and appreciative tail wag while he was with us," Shank said. Her clinic donated their services to get Jethro back on the road to health, and one of their suppliers, Novartis, donated a year's worth of flea and heart worm medication to make sure he stays on that healthy path. Jethro and Sundance were regular attendees at Heartland Community Church Mission in Eloise. Godwin, a resident of Homeland, took Jethro in after the blaze, and then passed him on to his new home, a family that also attends the church who has two young girls who knew Even so, Godwin said lethro the dog from attending Sunday mourned his previous owner's services, passing. "Evern Sunday, they would "He howled for rwo straight play with him." Godwin said, days for Sundance," Godwin noting there were many indi- added. viduals and families who were Shank said lethro should make more than willing to give lethro a full recovery. a new home. "They asked for "The love of those who took him. They are really excited. And care of him right after (he fire, there's still a spot in the church and from his new family, is the for him." best medicine of all." she added.

"People come and go in Florida. It's a transient state," said Cindy Rodriguez, director of communications for A-C-T. Because of Florida's high number of vacation residents and newcomers to the state, the concern is that too many residents are not properly aware of the, threat of hurricanes. '.'People think, 'Oh it's hurricane season again. We'll go out and buy some bottled water and we'll be good to go,'" said Rodriguez. The firm, which was recently presented with the Florida Small Business Resiliency Award for 2012 by the State Emergency Response Team, is a leader in safety and emergency precautionary tactics. The firm has offices in Bartow, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Naples, and Fort Lauderdale. The corporate headquarters, located in Bartow, was built in 2005 just after the 2004 hurricanes struck Polk County and is designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. The structure is constructed with six-inch, solid pre-cast walls with full metal reinforcement, as well as a metal roof, metal trusses welded to the walls, and stormproof windows and doors. "I always tease that our president didn't want us to have an excuse to not come to work," joked Rodriguez of the highly secure building. Many companies are following the same path of A-C-T and practicing safe and innovative precautionary standards in the event of a hurricane. Koon provided A-C-T recently received a resiliency award. From left is Pete McNally, Emergency Management Director for Polk County, Bryan Koon, Florida Division of Emergency Management Director, Rob Kincart, President of A-C-T Environmental & Infrastructure Inc. and Bryan Lowe, Florida Department of Emergency Management Public/Private Sector coordinator. examples of some distinguished compa- nies, including Publix for its installation of back-up generators, Walgreens for their implementation of a mobile phar- macy, Waffle House for their hurricane preparedness teams, and wireless phone companies likeVerizon that provide mobile charging stations. "There are lots of companies doing great things," said Koon. Though hurricanes cause massive disruption to businesses and life as usual for the public, one sector that booms is the construction industry "Our phones were crazy," said Jennifer Sturgis, vice president of SEMCO in Bartow, of the 2004 hurricane aftermath. The construction company, which typical- ly employs about 60 full-time employees, hired about 15 more workers to help -after the 2004 hurricanes struck, said Sturgis. The company designed an organized call sheet with questions to ask each caller. "Especially homeowners, they are so distraught and worried about their homes, you have to calm them down," said Sturgis who recalls her company working 12-hour days to properly assist all the customers. "My fear is because it was nine years ago, people have a short term memory. It can be tedious if you prepare a hurricane kit every year and then nothing happens." Koon urges all residents to follow the recommended plan for their individual needs and circumstances, whether it is children in the family, elderly, pets, or special needs individuals. Pete McNally, Emergency Management Director for Polk County recommends that residents with special needs contact the Emergency Management Bureau in Bartow and register to use one of the three special needs shelters in Polk County. "Prior to an event coming in, we will contact those people requiring transpor- tation," said McNally. The special needs shelter in Bartow is located at the Polk County Health Department Specialty Care Unit. "We have 1 percent of our population with special needs and we don't have 1 percent registered," said McNally of Polk County residents. Koon's ultimate hope is residents of Florida that are able to, will take the time to develop an emergency plan so that the emergency response teams can take care of those less equipped. "Everything they can do now will benefit them later and will help us as a state to help those that can't," said Koon.

"When I first started 30 years ago, bus driving was a good part-time job," said Patrick, who learned of the position when her children brought home a letter from school seeking bus drivers. Driving the school bus allowed Patrick to be at home when her kids were home from school. The job also provided solid benefits. "In the '80s it was difficult for a woman to find a job," said Patrick. They would ask you in the interview if you had children and if you would stay home with them if they got sick. I would say 'yes,' and then they wouldn't hire me," said Patrick. Though the hours worked well for Patrick, for most the hours are a drawback. Driving a school bus is classified as a part-time job, but the hours are odd. Susan Detrick, a Polk County bus driver of seven years starts her workdays at 4:30 a.m. By 6 a.m. she has begun her safety checks and at 6:17 a.m. she picks up her first group of students. "We're the first person that some of those kids see in the morning. Sometimes it breaks my heart, they don't see an adult before me in the morning," said Detrick, who finds that this is most common with high school students. Detrick finishes her morning drop-offs by 9 a.m. and leaves for her afternoon pick-ups around 1 p.m. She finishes her day around 5 p.m. Two times per week she does evening pick- ups from afterschool programs, which . take up two hours. In addition she has to perform safety checks in between routes. Working a second part-time job between these hours is difficult. Polk County school bus drivers are currently guaranteed 25 hours a week and receive health insurance benefits, said Rob Davis, senior director of Support Services. Due to a budget shortfall the school board has proposed cutting health insurance for those that work fewer than 30 hours per week. This recom- mendation arose because it satisfies the Affordable Health Care Act qualification that all employers qualify for health insurance if they work a minimum of 30 hours per week. Any proposal has to be finalized by the time the new budget year starts on July 1. "We have about 100 workers that work 29 hours or below," said Davis. One reason the district is forced to make cuts now is because of the mandate to increase teachers' salaries by 1 percent. "Looking back, we probably shouldn't have voted to make that 1 percent raise," said school board member, Hunt Berryman. The concern for the transportation department is that if benefits get cut it will be difficult to find employees willing to work the odd hours with no benefits. Detrick, who is also the vice president of the bus drivers union went to a meeting recently where a group of about 600 bus drivers were asked how many of them would stay if health insurance was taken away. "One person raised their hand," said Detrick. "There's not an area that's not going to feel it," said school board member, Debra Wright. "With them being the lowest paid on the totem pole, they're going to feel it the most," said Wright of the across-the-board cuts that are taking effect. "We understand the need to cut somewhere. If there's a budget shortfall, there's a budget shortfall. But at the same time, why do the cuts come at the backs of the lowest paid people? To not have health insurance is just unthink- able," said Detrick, who needs her health insurance to pay for a necessary medication that stabilizes her health. The second area that will likely be cut is to reduce the amount of paid idle time for bus drivers. "That is the proposal that we approved," said Berryman. Idle time is the time in between routes that bus drivers are given to perform vehicle inspections. Currently the idle time is about an hour and a half, said Berryman. "We're probably overpaying them in that area," added Berryman. These proposals have been recom- mended by the school board but have not been finalized. A lot of the finaliza- tion depends on the new superinten- dent, Kathryn LeRoy, said Wright. "That may not be her priority. Some things that we thought were settled have resurfaced," added Wright. Additionally, the transportation union must agree upon the proposals. "They've listened to our concerns," said Davis of the school board. "They know it's negotiable and that it has to go through the union," added Davis. Because the proposals are still in the negotiation phase, the bus drivers are voicing their concerns now. "Most of the people who work this job do it because they love the kids. As long as I can eat I'm happy," said Detrick, who set up a reading program on her bus by pairing readers with non-readers. "I had put pouches to go over the seats with books in them," said Detrick. I have people running my stop arm two or three times a day, crazy drivers texting or doing their make-up, said Patrick. Meanwhile, with no attendant on the bus, Patrick has up to 60 kids on her bus often making noise and break- ing the rules. "I make that prayer every day, Please God, let me get them all home safely today," said Patrick. You can n"ow Mary Napier, a bus driver for Polk Schools of 20 years agrees that the job is often stressful. "I'm making less money now than I was six or seven years ago. We make too much for food stamps and not enough for a car," said Napier of her monthly income of just barely $1,000. Despite the stressful parts, all three drivers agree that the children bring them much happiness and joy. "We see things the teachers don't see. They talk to us," said Napier. "The good parts are when you've been screaming at them all day and then they come and try to give you a hug. We're not allowed to hug them though, but you're like 'I did good today'," said Patrick of the rewards of her job. Though the cuts appear harsh, Berryman believes there will still be opportunities for the bus drivers to get extra hours so that they qualify for health insurance. "Those that want to get the extra hours, it's not easy, but there are op- portunities," said Berryman. Currently, extra hours are awarded based on geographic location and seniority. "I'm going to lose hours," said Detrick of the cuts she believes she will face. "It's not that we're against them. We value their service and that needs to be said," added Berryman of the situation. "It's my goal to get our house in order now so we don't have to do this again," said Wright of the unfortunate cuts that appear necessary at this time. "We have to cut back now in order to save money later." .15^ . ,) .. .. 1 r ~., ~ SUBSCRIBE Thoe --- - Frostproof News, dgdt"" & Y eepcarg cqImgapsafft 863 s' b-67 6- 3467 atu,1n nb-riSA 5SS 8.63-676-37.. r p 863-676-3467 hiEP) 1109 :W.MnS-isAo Pk8 -i The Lake Wales News " ,'!,, 75 -"*y " LWHSCIass C.'are CTeueir ibids :;i^^j: i -ar -iL- l Frindf~s "(*}t Ite ibi!rat!' 0(-11'6iid iona sof2013 - r 'i td wi (Wt- iirnr 'ii!'vi iU( \'il \ ri, u'%y { .% .iti' Keep up with what is happening at the Lake Wales News N" "- ". i -- 1.- S WITH EXP | COUPON jt 70131 S$19.95 OIL CHANGE 1cit -ars & i1itn iruclic I Up 5 ts Oil, fair lu'er i NCOT VA ID ir'urTHKE OPFER': L - r WITH EkP S COUPON ; 3113 I FREE ALIGNMENT WiPurchase of 4 Trres $59.95 Value NOT A *uI.BDiiirh C-THEi ,",FFER il SOUlRC*.OU ill AIlU AFGoodrich GOODfi0EAR C- Pickup Tires Wheel Accessories COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE Tune-ups Brakes Mufflers Semi Tires DOT Inspections Page 12 Frostproof News June 19, 2013 Ben Hill Griffin Jr. Elementary honors top students Seven winners or prestigious 'Principal's Award' at year's end PHOTOS PROVIDED Anahi Martinez Aaliyah Purdy Sean Baerhold Jasmine Nava U[ Coffee and doughnuts taste better when you Katherine Tillman are reading your Don't believe it?

Already, LeRoy has made her mark. On June 7, LeRoy reversed an earlier-made decision to transfer Ron Pritchard to East Area Adult School in Auburndale. She reinstat- ed Pritchard as principal at Bartow High School, where he will finish his career. Pritchard, scheduled to retire Dec. 31, spent 23 of his 38 years with Polk County Public Schools at BHS, with 10 years as assistant principal and 13 years as principal; in addition, Pritchard graduated from BHS in 1970. Countywide, and after only seven days into the job, LeRoy also made proposals on how to reduce the school system's general fund budget projected $12.7 million shortfall. Included would be taking a reading remediation program in-house, sav- ing $2.5 million. Another proposal would be restructuring how top administrators get paid, using state and federal monies instead of the general fund. A third proposal, not increasing workers' compensation coverage would save an estimated $2 million. "She's only been here seven days on the clock, but she's already did a month's work," said school board chairwoman Hazel Sellers when she introduced LeRoy at a reception held last week at the Jim Miles Center. "To say she is hitting the ground running is an understatement." LeRoy spoke briefly of some of the accomplishments attributed to her while she was with the Duval County School System. It was not her sole doing, she said. Those achievements, which she said will be replicated in Polk County, came from the team atmosphere fostered in Duval County. That, she said, means she will not be bound to her desk. "You'll see me a lot," said LeRoy. "I'm one of those who needs to 'be in the weeds.'" She concluded by stating the role of the District Office is to be the support system for the schools. At the conclusion of her remarks, LeRoy resumed greeting and wel- coming well-wishers who stood patiently in a reception line that circled half the room. Among those standing in line was Lynn Boland, the principal at Brigham Academy in Winter Haven. She said she and many were already aware of some of the accomplish- ments brought about in the Duval County school system. It was some- thing she said many are looking for here. "We're excited about the possibili- ties she'll bring to Polk County," said Boland. LeRoy's reputation has preceded her, said planet Lemoureux, with the Polk County Council PTA, and who has been a past president. Lemoureux said she had attended a work session and had seen LeRoy at one of the community events when the latter was still a candidate, but had not yet had the opportunity to sit down with her. "I expect to do that within the next 30 to 60 days," said Lemoureux. One aspect about the new superin- tendent Lemoureux said engaged her was gleaned from counterparts with the Duval County PTA. "The Duval PTA spoke highly of her advocacy on behalf of the students there." From her perspective, Lemoureux said one of the challenges LeRoy will face in Polk County is getting family and community involvement greater than it currently is. It will not be easy, especially on the part of parents, and she pointed to herself, a graduate from the 1990s. "Schools have changed so much and some parents don't realize it." Nat West, known to many within the public schools system for his active involvement as a volunteer, said the crux to LeRoy's success was simple. "I hope she gets the very best principals in place," said West. "I really think that's the secret." Another factor, he said, was improv- ing communication between adminis- trators and those in the classroom. This past school year he ac- companied Stewart and Associate Superintendent of Learning David Lewis as they visited 42 schools. It was eye-opening, said West. A com- mon comment made on more than one occasion, by teachers was that in the past whenever the superinten- dent (or someone from the District Office) came to a school, that person would pop his or her head in the classroom, but rarely spoke. "We've got to sit across the table and find out what's bothering teach- ers and what's doing well," he said.

"We create each Palace Pizza owner Giordano Lamuto shows off one of his pizzas. dish with pride, from our fresh side salads to our mouth-watering entrees, and we use only the freshest ingredients available to create that authentic Italian flavor'," he says. "We fol- low traditional recipes using only fresh, high quality ingredients and prepare each order to taste." Palace Pizza opened its doors at 105 E. Main St., in October, 2007, with members of Lamuto's extend- ed Schiano family at the helm, but he took it over two years later and has put his added stamp of Italian au- thenticity on the cafe. "Fresh dough, quality tomatoes, and 100 percent whole milk mozzarella cheese make our pizza the best:' Lamuto says, adding that the dough, sauces, pasta and even the mozzarella cheese are all prepared on site. "It has to be fresh to taste the best." While the menu is filled with traditional pizza offerings, the Palace menu also suggests Strombolis (an oven-baked folded pizza), Calzones (also a baked folded pizza shell filled with cheeses, meats and veg- gies) submarine sandwiches and a variety of pasta dishes. Topping the pasta menu is the spaghetti or baked ziti, stuffed shells, ravioli, manicotti, lasagna or egg- plant or chicken parmigiana. The pasta dishes range from $5.95 at lunchtime and $6:95 at dinner, to a high of $9.95 for the dinner meals. Photos by Al Palmer Among the offerings on the specialty menu is penne rustica which is a pasta sauteed in marinara sauce with chicken, artichokes, mushrooms and green peppers. It is priced at $6.95 for lunch and $8.95 for dinner. There are also chicken and veal dish- es prepared by several family recipes handed down by generations, Lamuto says. Every day, diners can get the new daily special of pizza.and wings, which Lamuto says is "very, very popular." Pizza is available on a buffet table by the slice with prices starting at $2 and a wide variety of pies is always available, the owner adds. Another favorite, he says, are the house-baked garlic knots, garlic and olive oil basted rolls. "Everybody loves them"' La- muto adds. Also available a variety of subs and hoagies, along with homemade soup and salads. Beer and wine are also sold oh prem- ises.

Take out orders can be placed by calling 863-533- 9300, and will soon be available on the restaurant's website www.palacepizzabartow.com.

Last week she Said she recited the Pledge of Allegiance at various meetings MelonpYBell 12 times. Men Bl "It's more than a 40-hour a week job, but I love it," the first Fort Meade resident on the Polk County Commission in 48 years, said. "I get to help the constituents and that's so neat." Serving 14 years on the Fort Meade City Commission may have given her some insight and expe- rience, but she didn't know ex- actly how different serving a county population would be. Though her district covers this area, she is a representative of all county voters. That in itself is a change. "If I had 12 more Melonies run- ning around that would be good. Everybody wants a bit of my time," she said. Her district includes her hometown of Fort Meade and Frostproof as well. If she had to name one thing that makes her most satisfied is the creation of jobs a county commis- sioner can help make. "We've been working with the Central Florida Development Council and I want to be someone who will be able to help people move to Polk County and start a business," she said. She said the county has in- vested nearly $20 million in the new Polytechnic university and as well as bringing jobs into the area she wants to make sure that money is not wasted. She also brought up arts in Polk County. While there is some money from the Tourist Development Tax that goes into the arts money that was previously going into sports and sports development she pointed out there is a line that has to be drawn. But, she pointed out arts already exists in a great amount and it has to be marketed and catered to bring heads and money into Polk County. It also has to encourage the arts to grow here, she said. "We're so rich her in arts and we have to change the stigma," she said. She said there are tough decisions to make. "The (Lakeland) Tigers contract is ending in a year and they want a new facility. Do we want to lose a professional team? They bring in a lot of dollars," she said. She added other areas that want improve- ments, meaning money, include the Lakeland Center, the Myrtle Sports Complex and The Chain of Lakes, to name just three. Bell has served on the county commission for more than two years now, after spending 14 years on the Fort Meade city commission. One area she learned about since sitting on the county commission is the Transportation Disadvantaged program. She is part of that county committee. "I didn't know anything about this and this is how some people have their only rides to the doctor," she said. "It has been a real eye opener." It's been a quick-moving 31 months she's been serving, she said, and when she started she hit the ground running. And while this is going on, she's approaching her first attempt to be re-elected and she is getting her act together to start a campaign.

They have come in all shapes and sizes, personalities and medical issues. And, in their own way, they have all been precious additions to my life, however brief or prolonged their stay might have been. But among the many, a few do stand out. One is Flash, a large, lovable, big lump of an inappropriately named cat that had been abandoned in a store parking lot in a carrier. He came with a note indicating he was 5 years old and that his person could no longer care for him. He became Flash because we picked him up during a thunderstorm. It was not for the speed at which he moved, since he was the king of the laid-back cats. The first thing we did was have him tested, and sure enough, it was positive for feline AIDS. Feline AIDS (or feline immunodeficiency virus, commonly known as FIV) is not a death sentence. Dr. Lori Shank Emm While Flash was blind as a bat which could have been a consequence of his AIDS, but may have been due to other issues he was normal in virtually ev- ery other way. He loved to snuggle next to you on the couch, came running when treats were offered, and while we attempted to keep him separate, he ultimately mingled with our menagerie for years and years. Despite decades of education, the topic of AIDS, feline or otherwise, can still strike fear in the hearts of many.

In it, a reader had written to a veterinarian, an- guished that her neighbor's cat had just been diagnosed with feline AIDS. "I have already told my kids that they are not to get anywhere near my neighbor's house," the reader noted. "What should I do with my cat? He and the neighbor's cat used to regularly cavort with one another. Should I have him put away?" I'm not exactly sure what "have him put away" meant, but I am sure that this was an overreaction, even though feline AIDS is indeed a serious medical condition. First, while similar to human AIDS, the feline version is different, and it cannot be transmitted from cats to humans. (Nor can hu- man AIDS be transmitted to your cat.) However, it can be transmitted from cat to cat through infected fluids like saliva or blood. The most common way it is transferred is through aggressive fighting or biting. It is very rare that it would be transmitted, say, by sharing a water bowl. The test for feline AIDS is simple and not expensive, and if you are bringing a new cat into your home, especially one that has an unknown history, I would strongly recommend it. One way it is similar to human AIDS is its lowering of the body's defenses against infection and disease, so while I always encour- age people to keep their cats inside as much as possible, it is almost manda- tory in feline AIDS cats since that will significantly reduce their exposure to illnesses. If your cat spends much time outside, vaccinations would be strongly encouraged, because the highest inci- dence is found in outdoor male cats, usually young to mid adult in age. There is no specific "treatment" for a feline AIDS infected cat, other The test for feline AIDS is simple and not expensive, and if you are bringing a new cat into your home, especially one that has an unknown history, I would strongly recommend it. than simply controlling their illness symptoms when they occur. Cats that already are infected can go years without exhibiting any real signs of the virus, like Flash. There are some signs, like bad gums and oral inflammation, swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, skin infections and even anemia, that the AIDS virus is present. But, those could also be caused by any number of other non-AIDS related issues, so that's why a simple test is so important. Fortunately, Flash was a lover, not a fighter. He'll forever have a special place in our hearts. He wasn't ready to be "put away," despite what his previous owner or others might have thought. Don't be afraid of the test, or the results.

For most dogs, getting to run around in the sand, dip into the waves, and fetch balls out of the water is the best day ever. Here are some tips to ensure that you and your dog have a fun and safe beach experience. First things first Check with the beach before you pack up the dog, because not all beaches allow them. Depending on the time of year, some beaches allow dogs during the off-season, but summer is a different story. Call ahead or visit the beach's website for information. It's also important if you can bring your dog, to find out whether or not they need to be on leash or if they can roam free. Bring a long leash no matterwhat, but know ahead of time if there will be an area where a leash isn't necessary. If they don't need to have a leash, only let them be without it if you know for an absolute fact that they will respond to your voice commands. Other dogs, people, certain scents, birds, etc, may catch their attention and cause them to tune you out, which could be a recipe for disaster (no one wants a dog fight). Some people on the beach (as well as easily frightened children) will be less dog-friendly than others, so be mindful of who your dog might be approaching to avoid any sort of snafu. Never, leave your dog unattended. Even the most well-trained dog can get distracted; pay extra special attention to your surroundings and any potential situations that may cause your dog to wander or run off. Follow all rules set by the beach. You don't want to be the reason that dogs aren't allowed at that particular beach anymore. Pro swimmer or doggie swim vest? If you want to take your dog to the beach, you probably have a good idea that your furry friend loves to swim. If this is the first time your dog will be swimming, you may want to read up on his breed just to be sure. For example, sharpei's tend to be afraid of water. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but finding out if swimming is characteristic of the breed will be a good indicator of how enthusiastic (or timid) they might be. When you bring the pup to the water, if he isn't diving right in, take it slow. Don't force your dog to go in. He may feel more com- fortable if you head in first and call him. If you're ner- vous or unsure, a purchasing a dog \ life vest to bring with you would be a safe bet. Be wary of ' temperature i extremes Depending on where you are in the country, sum- mer at the beach can bring about bring his body temperature back up. If your dog has still not stopped shivering and has continued lethargy, bring him to the nearest vet. A few ways to prevent heat stroke is to bring lots of fresh, cool water that Check with the beach before you pack up the dog, because not all beaches allow them. Depending on the time of year, some beaches allow dogs during the off-season, but summer is a different story. two extremes: heat from the sun and a cold, cold ocean. Pay attention to how your dog is acting and responding while he's with you throughout the day, because there could be the potential of either heat stroke or hypothermia (if he's been swimming his little heart out). Some signs of heat stroke in a dog include Rapid panting, bright red tongue, thick, sticky saliva, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea If you think that your dog has heat stroke while you're at the beach, take the following actions immediately: 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. Take him to the nearest vet. Some signs of hypothermia in a dog include: Lethargy, weakness, shivering, muscle stiffness, difficulty breathing, fixed and dilated pupils If you think that your dog has hypothermia while you're at the beach, take the following actions immediately: Wrap your dog in towels and blankets that have been warmed by the sun. Bring extra fresh water in bottles and leave them out in the sun as this warm water can be applied to your dog to- they can drink. A spray bottle with cool water that you can spray him down with will also help in temperature regulation. A bonus of having fresh water with you is that you can also clean the sand and salt water from his paws, which can cause irritation and dry out those sensitive pads. Also, because you can't guarantee that you will have ac- cess to a shady area, bring an umbrella that he can hang out under. To make sure that hypothermia doesn't strike, bring lots of towels that you can snuggle him in and remove the excess cold salt water. Not only can this' warm him up quicker, it also helps in removing the sand and salt water from his fur so he won't be in danger of shak- ing off on someone else. The dos and don't There are hundreds of beaches in the US and Canada that allow dogs, but compared to the number of beaches there are, this is a small percentage. Many beaches allowed dogs at one time, but due to careless owners, had to put a stop to canine patrons. Follow these rules (in addition to the beach's rules), and you'll make sure that you can bring Fido back as many times as he likes. Dog beach don't Don't let your dogs go into areas on the beach where they're not allowed. Dunes and grassy areas need to be protected from any sort of environ- mental damage that a dog might cause. Don't let your dog out of your site. Not even once. Paying attention and being proactive will go a long way in protecting you and your dog. The last thing you want is to be sued for a dog fight or by some- one that had a run-in with your dog. Don't forget to take the leash, beach towels, umbrella, fresh water, and dog- gie sunscreen (yes, you can actually get sunscreen specifically made for dogs). Don't leave a mess behind. Don't count on the beach supplying waste bags, so bring your own and be diligent about cleaning up. No one wants to find a surprise just laying on the beach or buried in the sand. Dog beach dos Do make sure your dog's vaccinations are current and that he's wearing the proper ID. Keep your vet's number on hand just in case something happens. Do check the ocean for jellyfish and stingrays. A sting to your dog will be sure to ruin both his and your experience. Do set a time limit for your beach trip. A couple hours might be just the right amount of time at the beach, depending on your dog's activity level. At the first sign of your dog tiring, pack it up and getback on the road. Do bring toys and balls to throw and find sticks to fetch. This is exactly why you are both there to have fun. New!

ByCARYFINEOUT ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLAHASSSEE, Fla. Floridians will have to start paying sales taxes sometime next year on anything they purchase through Internet retailer Amazon.com. But folks in Polk County might not mind the tradeoff if 1,000 or more jobs locate here because of the deal reached between the state and internet retailer last week. Gov. Rick Scott, who just a few weeks ago had rejected a deal with the Seattle-based company, announced last Thursday that the company has now pledged to come to the state. The move will mean thousands of jobs and more than $300 million spent on new warehouses between now and 2016. "Amazon's commitment to create more than 3,000 new jobs in Florida is further proof that we've turned our economy around," said Scott in a statement. One of the sites under consideration is the soon to be opened CSX intermodal rail terminal on State Route 60 between Bartow and Lake Wales. There are other county sites also being looked at, according to pub- lished reports, including in the Lakeland area, and in Hillsborough County. Amazon is expected to construct two sets of two warehouses in Florida over the next 24 months, but the first pair of warehouses will likely be finished sometime next year. Thursday's announcement did not include any details on a likely site for the warehouses. The governor, who has made job creation a top priority, said that Amazon would work with the state's economic development agency as it "chooses locations" for its ware- houses. He left open the possibility that Amazon could wind up getting incentives from the state before it begins construction. Amazon's decision to come to Florida isn't unexpected given the retailer's desire to put in a system to guarantee quicker delivery of products ordered online. The company has reached similar agreements regarding warehouses and payment of sales taxes in several other states.

A . Polk is considered a prime location because of it is located within 100 miles of almost nine million potential Amazon customers, giving it proximity to more would-be buyers within that radius of just about any place in the entire southeast U.S. But Amazon's decision to finally bring warehouses to the state also means that the retailer will be required to start charging its Florida-based customers the state's 6 percent sales tax. There was no firm timeline on when that would be in Scott's announcement. Scoffs office said that Amazon would begin collecting state sales taxes from residents at the time it is required under state law. Currently, Floridians are supposed to pay taxes for online purchases, but there's no way to enforce the law. The state can't force companies like Amazon to collect the tax unless it has a physical presence such as a warehouse or store. The governor had previously said no to a deal to bringAmazon to the state. He had expressed concerns that signing off on such a deal would result in tax increases for Floridians. "Based on the opportunity I had at the time, it didn't make sense," Scott said just last month during a stop at a Tampa manu- facturing plant. "I haven't seen something I think is good for Florida taxpayers." There was no clear indication what prompted Scott to change his mind. But the governor has been lobbied on the deal by high-profile lobbyists such as Brian Ballard. Ballard is a well-known fundraiser for Republicans in the state. The state's legislative leaders who have been pushed the last several years by the state's business groups to pass bills to force online merchants to collect sales taxes praised Scott for reaching a deal withAmazon. "Bringing Amazon to Florida will provide a tremendous boost to our economy," said House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, in a statement. "We happen to have this piece of land here that is ideal for intermodal, if that PHOTO BY BRIAN ACKLEY Work continues on the CSX access road to State Road 60 near Alturas. plays for Amazon, I think that would be ideal for them," Winter Haven Economic Development Council President Ingram Leedy said. "But I think if a dart hit in Central Florida, its ripple across all our communities would be great for all of us." When the project was announced several years ago, local officials predicted that thousands and thousands of jobs could be created with wearhousing operations near the CSX site. The logistics center itself is expected to employ about 100 people. Traffic studies done at that time estimat- ed that as many as 1,000 trumck trips a day could be added to the traffic count on State Road 60, which is currently undergoing reconstruction between the CSX entrance and Lake Wales. Where Amazon builds depends upon economic incentives, but also the e- commerce giant's supply-chain needs. That could mean locating in close proximity to major highways, rail lines and ports. Ty Rogers, a spokesman for Amazon, responded in an email Friday that the company had no comment regarding potential locations or details beyond the Thursday release from the governor's office. That release outlined plans to create more than 3,000 jobs and spend more than $300 million in investments in Florida. Leedy said Amazons new same-day de- livery strategy is driving the need to strategi- cally locate its regional hubs, which should be encouraging for both the Jacksonville region and the 1-4 corridor. The Winter Haven plans were halted when the state rebuffed efforts by Seattle- based Amazon to delay collection of state sales taxes. The release from Scott's office on Thursday said Amazon would begin collecting Florida sales tax "at such time as it is required under current Florida law." The Orlando Sentinel reported that the company intends to build a pair of one- million-square-foot "fulfillment centers" that would include half the envisioned 3,000jobs. One of the centers could be located along Interstate 75 in Ruskin, on the east side of Tampa Bay. The Hillsborough County Commission will be asked to approve a package for Amazon this week that would include $225,000 tied to the state Qualified Target SIndustries Tax Refund Program. Also, the commission would agree to hold a public hearing in July on providing $6.4 million in property-tax exemptions over seven years. Amazon would be required to create 375 new, higher-wage jobs in return for the $225,000 from Hillsborotigh's Countywide and Unincorporated Area Economic Development Activity Funds, while the property tax exemptions would require the company to make a $200 million capital investment and create at least 75 well- paying jobs. In January 2012, officials in the gover- nor's office said in published reports that they were "aware" of a desire by Amazon to put warehouses in the state, creating as many as 3,000 jobs, in exchange for a two-year exemption from collecting state sales taxes. Nancy Blum-Heintz, a spokeswoman for Enterprise Florida, said in an email that additional information regarding the deal remains confidential. "We look forward to providing additional details as they become public," Blum- Heintz wrote. The deal with Amazon comes at a time Congress has been debating whether to allow states to collect sales taxes on Internet purchases their residents make with out- of-state companies. The measure passed the U.S. Senate but it has encountered resistance in the U.S. House. When Amazon representatives made their first pitch to Scott and legislative lead- ers back in early 2012 the proposal drew sharp opposition from retailers because it called for exempting the retailer from sales taxes for two years. Some groups such as the Florida Retail Federation, however, dropped their op- position to the last proposal that had been floated a few months ago. A spokesman for the organization said the group could not comment on the final deal because they were unaware of the details.

When prepared in a manner which preserves their countless beneficial nutrients, they help support good health and prevent disease. Veggies which come in coffins (canned) or in frozen dinners are overcooked, overpro- cessed, and devoid of most of their nu- trients. In addition, processed vegetables often contain preservatives, syrup and other unhealthy additives. This does not include uncooked-frozen vegetables which can be a good option. Cooking veggies immersed in water renders them almost useless as well, since, while cooking, some of their nutrients leach into the water and are lost when the liquid is drained. Soups and stews are the exception because the nutrient-rich fluids are also consumed. The following are tips for incorporating more vegetables into your diet: Eat a raw salad daily. For numerous delicious combi- nation possibilities you can add to a basic tossed salad of lettuce, cuke, and tomato, one or more of the following: spinach, red, sweet, or green onion, a grated carrot, olives, bell pepper, bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, fresh herbs, roasted seeds, etc. Take a salad to work adding a chopped hard-cooked egg or pieces of chicken. Make a coleslaw with an olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and an herb dressing (instead of a mayo-smothered one); or a salad of chopped tomato, cucumber, and green onion, in an olive oil, wine vinegar, and dill weed dressing. These and other fresh-veg salads can be made in minutes. One of the best ways to cook vegetables and preserve their goodness is to briefly steam them until tender-crisp. In 10-15 minutes you can steam any vegetable, such as broccoli florets; carrots cut into three sections; whole garlic cloves; green beans; zucchini, etc. Potatoes and sweet potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces cook in 15-20 minutes. They should be tender when done. You can eat steamed veggies as is, or use them in a vegetable recipe. If disease is not on your to-do list then eat more vegetables: A habit today- a PHOTO PROVIDED Here's a health tip: eat a raw salad daily and even taking a salad to work could be the key. What you could do is chop up an egg or put in pieces of chicken. lifestyle tomorrow. Presented as part of the Building a Healthier Polk Initiative. Emergency department highlighted in National Journal In May, Lakeland Regional Medical Center's Emergency and Central Transport Departments were featured in Becker's Hospital Review. The article titled "4 Ways to Improve Patient Throughput in the ED," focused on the efforts made to increase efficiency in patient care. This became an organization-wide strategic goal, and significant improvements in processes were achieved based on this focus. With 170,000 emergency visits in 2012, LRMC is the busiest single-site emergency department in the state. As patient volume grew, the hospital recognized the need for a solution to handle the increase in patient visits while ensuring each patient received prompt attention and excellent care. In 2010, Lakeland Regional launched a two-year project to redesign the emergen- cy department to better serve the needs of patients and create a more effective collaborative approach to patient care. The project charter was to re-engineer the flow of patients through the emergency depart- ment to reduce wait times for patients and families, provide faster diagnostic testing, streamline and automate processes and achieve better and safer care for patients. LRMC transformed its emergency department into a state-of-the-art, data- driven system aimed at high quality and patient value. Now, on average, emergency department patients are seen by a physi- cian in less than 20 minutes. Because of Lakeland Regional's house-wide collabora- tion, the efficient flow continues through- out the organization. For example, patients get a bed in the hospital after the doctor admits them as inpatients 56 percent faster than the national average. In fact, 80 percent are discharged or admitted to an inpatient bed within three hours. LWMC offers out patient nutrition counseling Lake Wales Medical Center opened its Nutrition Counseling Center, provid- ing comprehensive medical nutrition therapy for people on an outpatient basis through individual training sessions that are personalized to address each patient's specific needs, "Our goal is to provide people with the information they need to understand their individual nutritional needs and give them practical suggestions to help them achieve and maintain their nutritional goals," said Jamie Moore, who runs the Nutrition Counseling Center. Patients must be referred to the Nutrition Counseling Center by their physician. Referrals can be based on follow-up medi- cal nutrition therapy after being discharged from the hospital or for assistance with a long-term medical condition. For diabetics, Medicare Part B covers initial individual nutrition counseling in the first year following diagnosis, and follow-up individual nutrition counseling annually thereafter. Most other insurance carriers do not currently cover the service. The charge for patients whose insurance does not cover the service is $40 and must be pre-paid. Good Shepherd Hospice scores in family satisfaction survey Good Shepherd Hospice care received high marks in a 2012 family satisfaction survey conducted by Deyta, a satisfaction and quality measurement company. "This is very exciting news for Good Shepherd Hospice," said Don Evans, Good Shepherd Hospice executive direc-' tor. "These exceptional family satisfac- tion survey scores help demonstrate that seriously ill patients and their loved ones value the care provided by Good Shepherd Hospice healthcare profession- als and volunteers." Deyta used the Family Evaluation of Hospice Care survey results from more than 1,200 partnering hospice agencies contained in its national FEHC database, with an evaluation period of January through December 2012. Deyta used the five key drivers of caregiver satisfaction, which included: Overall care patient received while under care of hospice Family was kept informed of patient's condition Would you recommend this hospice to others Hospice team response to needs in the evenings and weekends Patient's personal needs were taken care of According to Evans, Good Shepherd Hospice scored higher than the national average in all five key drivers. "We know that Good Shepherd Hospice delivers exceptional care in Polk County," he added. "This survey compared our end-of-life care services against hospices across the nation, and we came out on top." Good Shepherd Hospice has been a part of the Polk County community since 1979. "Families continually tell us that they are pleased with the support they and their loved ones receive from Good Shepherd Hospice, she said. "This posi- tive survey is a direct result of the com- passionate care our staff and volunteers deliver, each and every day," said Becky Mclntyre, Good Shepherd Hospice chief clinical officer. Watson Clinic plastic surgeon inducted into ASOPRS Dr. Srinivas S. Iyengar was inducted into the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Iyengar's association with this organi- zation is a testament to his impressive level of training and depth of knowledge in the field of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, Watson Clinic, his employer, claims. It happened on June 8, in Providence, Rhode Island. ASOPRS was founded in 1969 to estab- lish a qualified body of expert surgeons who have training and experience in the fields of aesthetic, plastic and recon- structive surgery specializing in the face, orbit, eyelids, and lacrimal system. Iyengar performs highly-specialized ophthalmology services, including a variety of surgical procedures for eyelids (droopy eyelids, baggy eyelids, etc.), tear drainage system and eye socket. He's one of only a few specialists in the region to perform incision and suture-free eyelid lift surgery. He also sees patients for cosmetic eyelid surgery, Botox injections and facial fillers, Latisse, revisional eyelid surgery, eyelid tumors and eyelid/orbital trauma.

And because your home is so much more than just a transactional asset, a widget to be traded and tweaked only for financial reasons, it makes sense to spend some portion of your time, energy and money making it really work for you.
