The three traveled together to a conference on school safety in Tampa. After the terrible Virginia Tech tragedy claimed the lives of dozens of people, local edu- cators and administrators are more wary than ever regarding the need to keep all students safe during school.

Paying attention to health issues Participants learn about healthy alternatives By Naji Tobias Clewiston News HARLEM - Some people believe, that to help someone who is need, one must be in a good position to do so. It's like a patient being treat- ed by a doctor, or an athlete learning from a coach. , It is the same role for the Women's Health Empower- ment Class. The class, conducted by Shyla Boyd and sponsored by the Harlem Enrichment Com- mittee, is held on Tuesdays and Thursday this month, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Harlem Civic Center. Ms. Boyd said that the pur- pose of the empowerment class is to inform African- American women of the social factors that contribute to their health and to make them aware of other alternatives to living a healthy and fulfilling life. Ms. Boyd, who recently re- ceived her master's degree in Women's Health and Sexual- ity from Towson University in Towson, Md., drew inspiration from working on her thesis, which touched on social fac- , See Women - Page 12 house. A man with seemingly no previous criminal history bar- ricaded himself before executing a number of ihe young girls. That is exactly the type of sit- uation that Chief Gutshall hopes to keep from happening locally. Throughout the summer and as recently as this week, the school district has worked in partnership with the sheriff's office and the police department to hold mock scenarios where an "active shooter" is let loose on local campuses. LaBelle area schools have also participated in the training events. Officers respond to the threat and work to control the danger through different methods. The chief explained how critical the training scenarios are in re- sponding to a real danger. Their job then becomes to respond quickly, efficiently and strategically to such threats.

Not to suggest that the chief is a chronic red-light runner, quite the contrary. He simply .encourages people to remain attentive when coming up on a yellow light, highlighting how easily - and dangerous - run- ning a red light can be.

This meeting is a follow-up to park.

Five hunters fined in Hendry County FORT MYERS - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Flori- da Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced that five hunters each plead guilty for kill- ing over the legal' limit of water- fowl and wanton waste for leav- ing behind many of the waterfowl they killed while hunting in Hen- dry County. These violations are misde- meanor crimes under the Migra- tory Bird Treaty Act and carry a maximum fine of $15,000, six months in jail and 5 years proba- tion for each count. United States Magistrate Judge- Douglas N. Frazier found Florida residents Javier Garcia, Manuel Rodriguez, Daniel Cruz, Reinaldo Roman and Juan Perez guilty of the violations of federal wildlife law and sentenced each as fol- lows; Garcia received a $6,000 fine, Rodriguez and Cruz each re- ceived a $5,000 fine, Perez and Ro- man each received a $4,000 fine and each defendant was ordered to pay court costs of $70.00. In addition each defendant was placed on probation for three and a half years, with a special condi- tion of their probation that they may not hunt any wildlife in the United States during their proba- tion period. "These folks were greedy," said Jim Gale the lead specail agent for the Southwest Region. They are not hunters and they have done a great disservice to the American hunting tradition." Mr. Gale went on to say that hunters for decades have paid out most of the freight that made many of the wildlife conservation successes of the past century pos- sible through the Pittman-Robin- son Wildlife Restoration program, purchasing duck stamps that benefit land conservation and supporting many of the hunting conservation organizations. "These men showed a shame- ful lack respect for wildlife, violat- ing the ethical standards that true outdoorsmen hold dear," Major Brett Norton Commander of Law Enforcement, South Region, Flori- da Fish and Wildlife Commission. "It was great to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Commission on the case. Such partnerships are crucial to protecting Florida's nat- ural resources. According to court docu- ments and information provided in court, Garcia, Rodriguez, Cruz, Perez and Ramon were hunt- ing waterfowl in Hendry County when Fish and Wildlife Conserva- tion Commission Officers in the area witnessed the defendants killing many ducks. As the officers approached, the defendants con- tinued shooting more ducks, then picked through the ducks, taking the ones they wanted and leaving the rest behind. In total the defen- dants killed 88 ducks, more than. 50 ducks above the legal limit. This equates to each hunter killing more than twice the legal limit. The investigation was referred to the United States. Fish and Wildlife Service for further inves- tigation and federal prosecution due to the severity of the violation and the gross over limit of water- fowl killed. This. case was investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife ' Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion.

On Aug. 8, the health care district erected two 24 foot wide signs on vacant 50 acre property at the intersection of U.S. 441 and State Road 80 where a medical campus with a 70 bed hospital will be built over the next two and a half years. Bulldozers will soon be rum- bling over what was once a sugar cane field and the district is plan- ning for a formal dedication of the site in the late fall. "These are truly signs of progress," said Dwight D. Chen- ette, Chief Executive Officer of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County. "Working together we have come a long way just to get to this point," he said. "The rezoning of the property has been accom- plished and a design established for what is going to be a techno- logically advanced medical com- plex serving all of the communi- ties around Lake Okeechobee in Western Palm Beach County. The signs have been placed along U.S. 441 and State Road 80 (also known as Main Street and Hooker Highway) which meet at the intersection known as the "gateway to the Glades." "We're building what will become a vital medical hub that will provide the very best care to everyone who lives in or visits this growing region," said David Zechman, Chief Executive Officer of Glades General Hospital, the 73 bed JCAHO accredited acute care facility in Belle Glade which pro- vides quality care to some 3.600 inpatients a year. The Health Care District, which operates Glades General, is planning to retire the existing hospital, which is more 'than 60 years old and transition staff and more than $3.5 million in recently-acquired state-of-the- art medical technology to the new hospital- when it opens in late 2009. The new regional hospital will have 70 single-occupancy patient rooms will capacity for future expansion. "The new hos- pital will be both technologically advanced and pre-family-friendly with enhanced security, privacy and ample parking," said Michael J. Gates, the Health Care District's ILornmunity Links. Individual Voices. WO Senior Development Executive. "There will be a dedicated Emer- gency Room drop-off, a main en- trance drop-off and a helipad on the campus sized for transport of trauma patients and, if necessary, regional evacuations. Inside, there are separate elevators for patients and visitors, allowing more pri- vacy and expedited transport." Plans for the new hospital also feature an Emergency Room with 16 treatment areas plus three fast-track exam areas. There will be two large operating rooms, a dedicated C-Section room, two additional delivery and post par- turn rooms and six private ICU rooms. The plans feature and en- larged dining room and accom- modations have been made for education, meeting and training spaces that will serve the hospital as well as the community. The new hospital will be constructed to withstand severe weather conditions. The build- ing plans feature a steel structure, concrete exterior walls and lami- nated tempered glass windows. Two emergency generators and a three-day water supply will be included to support emergency operations should the need arise. The design for the new hospi- tal has already been lauded in the national media. The August 2007 issue of Health Executive maga- zine, a leading industry trade pub- lication, noted it exemplifies, "the latest and greatest design intend- ed to increase patient privacy. This is the largest capital proj- ect in the Health Care District's 18 year history, with an estimated. cost of $73 million. The Health Care District has committed $50 million toward the new hospital. The Glades Healthcare Founda- tion is coordinating a capital fund- raising campaign to complete the financial support for the project. Once the initial capital cam- paign goals are met, the Founda- tion will remain active to support the health care needs throughout the Glades region. "The goal is to improve the delivery of quality health care for the region by ensuring access to critical health care services," said Dr. Stanley Pierce, Chair of the Health Care District.Board of Commissioners. "By doing that, we advance the Health Care District's mission in the western Palm Beach Coun- ty communities," he said. About the Glades Healthcare Foundation: The Glades Healthcare Foun- dation was launched in 2006 to support the delivery of health care systems to the Western com- munities in Palm Beach County. As its first priority, the foundation will raise $26 million towards building the new regional hospi- tal by reaching out to individuals, corporations and foundations.

C.R.E.W. is a local non-profit or- ganization that assists people in finding resources to fully recover from natural and man made di- sasters. C.R.E.W. receives fund- ing from various local, state-wide, and national organizations. One such funding organization is the Volunteer Florida Organization. In April 2007, C.R.E.W received a grant from the Volunteer Florida Organization for the sole pur- pose of supplying direct services to over 60 identified Hurricane Wilma Victims still living in FEMA mobile homes. To date, of the 64 families identified for funding from this grant, 21 families have been considered to be fully recov- ered from the storm. Additionally, 19 families have received financial ing entrapment. As a result, it becomes very dif- ficult for officers to simply target red light offenses. Throughout the week, the police department placed a few more officers on each shift to di- rectly target the violation. Officials say that a red light in- fraction happens when a driver crosses the crosswalk after the traffic light turns red. The police department is also preparing for the Click It or Ticket event during Labor Day weekend. assistance to help cover services needed to reach their goal of a permanent housing solution. John De La Cruz; his wife, Jackie Gartner and their two girls were one family that have bene- fited from this program. This fam- ily resided in a local trailer park in Clewiston where FEMA had origi- nally placed their mobile home. When this family purchased their mobile home from FEMA, they were unaware that the trailer would not be allowed to stay per- manently in that lot due to local zoning requirements that help en- sure safety and limit damage dur- ing natural disasters. When the family first heard the news, they were going to rent a lot in Hendry County; however, there were no rental lots available at that time. Being proactive, the family de- cided to purchase a piece of real estate where 'they could place their newly purchased mobile home. The family also stayed in contact with C.R.E.W and ac- Officers will be on the lookout for drivers who are not wearing their seat belts. According to most law en- forcement agencies, not wearing seat belts during accidents is one of the leading causes of death in motor-related deaths. "We're typically not heavy- handed, but when people who pay taxes tell us there's a problem, we target that," said the chief. News Editor Jose Zaragoza can be reached at jzaragoza@newszap.com. tively participated in :searching out ways that they could move their home to a permanent site. This is where the funding from the Volunteer Florida Foundation came into play. Money was given directly to the vendor to cover the cost of moving this family's mobile home. Because of this fi- nancial support, this family who has worked so hard to recover from the damages of Hurricane Wilma will finally be able to place their home on their land. When told about the funding, Jackie told their girls "Now we can get a puppy for you." Case Manager Supervisor and Volunteer Coordinator for C.R.E.W, Renee Mergott states "This is the kind of case that makes everybody feel good. This family has taken an active role in trying to recover, but still needed a little extra help. Being able to provide that help is a blessing in itself."

Ms. Boyd said that her re- search found that issues of life could negatively affect a person's physical health to an degree that amazed her. "Because African-Americans tend to get bogged down with a large amount of issues in life, they tend to forget about their physical health in order to nurture other people," said Ms. Boyd. "In actu- ality, they need the nurturing." , In Ms. Boyd's class, which has about 13 participants, the wom- en learn about such conditions as 'heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes and ovarian cancer, to name a few.

"At the annual dinner, the hon- oree receives a plaque and the next day receives a surprise," said Ms. Pittman, who would not say what the lucky person will get. The deputy clerk encourages residents to make a nomination learn alternative ways of eating and cooking a variety of foods. For example, Ms. Boyd recom- mends that instead of using oils to bake cakes, women should instead use applesauce. Also, instead of using ham hocks and neck bones to season collard greens, you should use turkey for better health, she said. Ms. Boyd is an advocate of ex- ercise, which, she said is a proac- tive way.of illustrating what she teaches in class. The sessions begin and end with a variety of stretches, the participants using movements in between such as African-style, hip-hop and mod- ern dances to make exercises more fun.

Patrick Morley, author' of "The Man in the Mirror", has challenged people with that question. Mor- ley and his wife .. were successful , business people involved in a lot .- of different busi- . ness and civic ',. activities. They John also had young Hicks children at home who needed their attention. One evening, as they reviewed their time consuming responsibilities, the thought came, "Why not pri- oritize everything we do on the basis of who will be crying at our funeral?" The results, they claim, saved their family. Morley ques- tioned', "Why should you and I give ourselves- to people who don't lqve us at the expense of. those who do?" I had some initial problems with the Morley's statements. Does this mean I should 'only ministering to the most? From my experience at funer- als, some are celebrations and some are tear fests. When 'my time comes, I don't want tears, I want celebration! Let those who loved me celebrate my life and let ,those who might not have liked me so mucl celebrate my going. Let everyone party! Regardless, the more mean- ingful remembrances shared at funerals tend to come from time the dearly departed spent with people rather than the time spent in work or accomplishments. I have come to.realize that who I am might be more important than what I do for a living. As Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, "What lies behind us and what lies be- fore us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Considering this, I came to the unijerstridiing that when Morley asked us to consider who would be crying at our funeral, he was challenging us to look at our pri- orities. When program and work take priority over people; people often suffer. Powerful thought; ing charge of our time. Are we good stewards of our time? It's a question we might want to ask ourselves. One study estimated that the average Ameri- can would have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of television by the time they reached twenty, and continues with at least 1,000 hours a year after that. What if we used just half of those yearly hours and applied them to doing something else? That would work out to over ten work weeks worth of time we could use each year to connect with others or to do some project. Just imagine how 'much we might accomplish! Our time is as valuable as any material treasure we might have and it behooves us to embrace its preciousness. Someone put it like this: To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed his final exam. To realize the value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby. To. realize the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly Ask-a daily wage laborer wno oas 10 kids to feed. To realize the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are - waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed the train, the bus or the plane. To realize the value of one sec- ond: Ask a person who has sur- vived an accident. To realize the value of one mil- 'lisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olym- pics. And to all this we might add: To realize the value of a lifetime:. Let us ask ourselves who will be crying at our funeral. Em il--- I Go to newszap.com to I download and print I coupons online!

D.+ St. Martin's Church, Clewiston When I was asked to write about "monogamy" I reflected on the roots of marriage: "...and the two shall be- ,F ,,�- come one flesh (Genesis 2:24), going back to . the oldest parts .'' of scripture and human antiquity. The idea is quot- ed in Matthew as well, who adds Samuel S. "... so they are Thomas no longer two but one (Chapter 19, v6) and also cited by Mark Chapter 10v 8). The earliest of people seemed to have observed that we are "pre-wired" to be with one with another. We seem created to be "one" as a couple. It is that God made us to seek another, one other, to be fulfilling. As I write, I heard of one of those TV shows dedicated to people with "problems" dedi- cating their broadcast to a wom- an claiming to be in love with two men. By the definition and nature of the show where she is to appear, there is an acknowledgement that there is something unusual about this relationship. People who live in structured communi- ties (e.g. such as kibbutzes) wind up pairing off with someone spe- cial to them even when the living situation is not designed to have pairing off as a goal. It is also in- teresting to me that persons who have been previously married and are seeking to re-marry, are once more seeking a monogamous re- lationship. They never tell me "I've tried it once and it's not for me" but rather "Who's next?" or "Now I've found Mr./Ms. Right!" and, as the statistics show, embark on another potentially disastrous re- lationship. In societies where po- lygamy is practiced, there seems to be fierce competition over who will become the "favorite" of the group. 'I've heard that the Chinese symbol for "war" in their picto-' graphic-symbol language is "two women under one roof" and no doubt the same could be same for their male counterparts, too. I suspect that this may be facetious, but there just may be an element of truth in it, too. What about monogamy? It seems that is the intention for which God 'has made us. Why,. then, doesn't it work out and why are there so many divorces? I would suggest that it has to do with people attempting to find monogamy for the wrong rea- sons. It takes a certain amount of willingness; of dogged determina- tioon both parts for two persons to commit to the idea that there will be no divorce (one co-work- er once told me that he. and his wife had an agreement; the one who asked for the divorce had ,to take the kids!) In spite of the promises and vows, society seems to say, "That's alright, you can get out of it if you want." There are people who marry for the wrong reasons (e.g. those who conceal signifi- cant facts about themselves from the intended other, those who are too young-emotionally as well as chronologically-to get married, those who have no understanding or incapable of making the com- mitment marriage requires, those who have a prior love or loves in.their lives not resolved; drugs, alcohol or an unfinished relation- ship, those who find themselves in marriages entered into without free will, among other reasons). Out of this comes the expectation that a monogamous relationship will somehow grow despite the flaws in establishing it. Yet, in spite of it all, people still crave to be married. I maintain that this is the way God made us to be. The hard part is having two people commit to it despite the trends in society, despite the com- monplace .attitudes about what is seen as "normative." The gift of marriage comes when it works for a couple and is fulfilling and, I would suggest, is a bit of Heaven on Earth. That we know it exists is proven by those who keep trying to attain it even after failures and disappoint- ments. To obtain it requires a stark honesty, a willingness to grow, a commitment and dedication, a sense of discipline, a faith in the other-self-God, among other things. A couple came to me and told me they were having trouble, threatening each other with di- vorce. I told them to go home and decide whether they wanted to stay married, where I would give them time and do my best to be' of help; or to divorce and I would help them try to find a suitable. lawyer. They came back and de- cided to stay married. We got un- derway with a commitment that was essential if the relationship was to continue. A lot of work was ahead, but I felt that there was now a pos- sibility and all would be worth it. They had something else on their side, too; "...the two shall become one..." how we are made by God and how a special person can make all of God's intentions and purposes for us come true. The 'Book' report By Jackie Miller, minister First Christian Church, Clewiston A man was given the oppor- tunity to live on a farm rent free. The man broke the terms of the agreement and was evicted. Out on his own, the man found work to be very hard. He had a very large family which became very wicked. All of them but eight were drowned in a flood. One of his descen- dants had a large family which settled in the Middle-East. They were taken into slavery but freed by a series of troublesome events upon their captors. They' moved back home but had trouble with their neighbors. Much of the time these people were very evil. Some of the fam- ily was exiled never to be seen again. The rest were in prison, for 70 years. Many years after getting out of imprisonment, one of their young men began teaching them the right wayto live. They resented Him. and killed Him but he arose again and established a kingdom that captured the hearts of people worldwide. Twelve good friends of the young man spread the mes- sage every where. They also wrote down in the Book what the young man taught and what happened after the young man went back to his home. This BOOK is a message of hope and forgiveness. That BOOK is available everywhere! .Take some time and read it. Note: That BOOK is the Bible which means "book". It is good for any audience but certain passages are more mature in nature.

Throughout the year, DOH works with partner agencies, including the Florida Department of Agri- culture and Consumer Services, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission, mosquito control agencies and state univer- sities, to monitor for the presence of illnesses carried by mosqui- toes. "During the summer months, Florida experiences an increase in its mosquito populations," State Surgeon General Ana M. Viamon- te Ros, M.D., M.P.H. said. "Taking a few simple steps can drastically reduce the chances of contracting a mosquito-borne illness." Symptoms of West Nile vi- rus (WNV) infection, St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE), and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) may include headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness, weakness and confu- sion. Physicians should contact their county health department if they suspect an individual may h Help reduce mosquito risk After months of drought, the rains have come. Ponds are filling up. Grass is growing. But along with positive chang- es such as green grass and the reduced threat of brush fire, the rains bring an increased chance of another danger - mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed in standing water. It doesn't take much to turn your yard into a haven for the little blood suckers. Water caught in a wading pool, birdbath, flower pot or old tire can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carry diseases, such as encephalitis and West Nile virus, that can affect both humans and animals. Even if you plan to stay indoors when mosquitoes are most active, outdoor pets and livestock are at risk. To reduce the mosquito popu- lation in your yard: * Remove or turnover anything that can hold water such as flower pots and wading pools. *If you have a birdbath or a pet's water dish outdoors, change the water every day. *If you have a pond or large water-filled ditch on your proper- ty, stock it with fish that eat mos- quito larvae. * If you have large watering troughs for livestock, check with your veterinarian about additives that can be used to make this wa- ter unsuitable for mosquitoes. S*Ask your veterinarian about mosquito repellants to use on your pets and livestock. *Mow grass regularly to re- duce the habitat for mosquitoes around your home. To protect yourself from mos- quito bites: *Stay indoors during the peak' mosquito times - the hours from dusk to dawn. * If you, must go outdoors after dark, wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants and use mosquito repellant. * Don't wear perfume or scent- ed deodorant as perfumes can at- tract insects. *If you aren't afraid of bats, en- courage these natural predators that eat mosquitoes by putting up a bat house. (For more informa- tion on bat houses go to http:// edis.ifas.ufl.edu/UW007.) For more information on mos- quito-borne diseases, see the Cen- ter for Disease Control Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dis- eases/list_mosquitoborne.htm. ave a mosquito-borne illness. DOH laboratories provide testing services for physicians treating patients with clinical signs of mos- quito-borne diseases. DOH continues to advise Flo- ridians to remain diligent in pro- tecting themselves from mosqui- to bites by following the "5 D's," which include: Drainage - Check around your home to rid the area of standing water, which is where mosqui- toes can lay their eggs. DEET - When the potential exists for exposure to mosqui- toes, repellents containing DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, or N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) are recommended. Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus are other repellent options. Dress - Wear clothing that cov- ers most of your skin. Dusk and Dawn - Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active. Tips on Repellent Use Always read label directions carefully for the approved usage before applying a repellent to skin. Some repellents are not suit- able for children. Products with concentrations of up to 30 percent DEET are gen- erally recommended. Other po- tential mosquito repellents, as re- ported by the Centers for Disease. Control and Prevention (CDC) in April 2005, contain picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus. These products are generally .available at local pharmacies. Look for ac- tive ingredients to be listed on the product label. Apply insect repellent to ex- posed skin, or onto clothing, but not under clothing. In protecting children, read label instructions to be sure the repellent is age-appropriate. Ac- cording to the .CDC, mosquito repellents containing oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on* children under the age of 3 years. DEET is not recommended on children younger than 2 months old. Infants should be kept indoors or mosquito netting should be used over carriers when mosqui- toes are present. Avoid applying repellents to Going camping? Please plan ahead By D. Hamilton INI/Florida Thinking about camping this fall? Now is the time to begin gath- ering your supplies to ensure that your trip will be "memorable" for the right reasons. Whether you are a backyard camper or more adventurous and plan to travel to camp, it's wise to start with the right gear. First things first Deciding where to go camping is a matter of preference. From the Florida Keys to the Great Smoky Mountains, there are many places to camp within easy reach. Here in South Florida, many state parks offer a variety of camp- ing arrangements with-varied ac- tivities for everyone in the family. Highlands Hammock State Park in southern Highlands Coun- ty is no exception. They offer full facility camping with water and electric hookups for RV camp- ing. Picnic areas, restrooms and showers are also available. Highlands Hammock Park also offers a more "primitive" camp setting for those who want to get back to nature. You'll have to drive to showers but ground fire rings and picnic tables are located at the sites. Highlands Hammock State Park is located on Hammock Road just off Highway 27 near Se- bring and is open to visitors year round. Call (863) 386-6094 to find out about other camp offerings are available at the park. To find out more about camp- ing, facilities offered at other Flor- ida State Parks, check out www. Floridaparks.com. What to bring The most important items on your camping list will be those that give the most comfort during your trip. Spending money on camp- ing supplies is directly related to how much you plan to use them. Many of the items needed Tor a 3- 5 day camping excursion will last many years with proper care and storage. General camping supplies in- clude cookware, some portable camping furniture including a folding table, chairs, lanterns and storage containers. If you don't have luxury ac- commodations like an RV, you will need a tent. Tents have improved considerably over the years and there are many varieties and sizes to choose from. Dome tents are easy to set up and lightweight to carry. With the detachable "bon- net" that many come with, they are fairly waterproof. Depending on size, dome tents with enough room for four are priced from around $80. Another type of tent, depend- ing on your camping needs is a "peak tent." This type of tent offers a bit more head room that dome- style tents do not offer. Many are equipped with separate rooms and screenrooms attached. These tents are moderately priced rang- ing from $50-$250. Once you have a roof over your head, sleeping arrangements are the next consideration. Sleeping bags can range from those made from lightweight "rip-stop" material with a fleece lining to bags that will keep the cold out at temperatures reaching zero degrees. For colder weather and higher altitudes, an insulated sleeping bag will keep campers cozy on cool nights. Avid camp- ers may have more than one type of sleeping bag or bed. Outdoor centers offer a range of sleeping bags for kids and adults. The price range of sleeping bags can be anywhere from $15 to more than $100. Airbeds are becoming very popular for camping due to their ease in set up and portability fea- tures. Many come with an inflator pump that runs on batteries or plugs into a car lighter. For a really nice "raised" airbed with a pump, expect to pay about $125-$130. There are more mod- erately priced airbeds from about $25. Eating and cooking outdoors is one of the most popular camp- ing pastimes. Depending on how long you will be camping, con- sider. how much food.to bring for each person. Coolers are made to keep foods cold for about five days with the proper amounts of ice. Better quality coolers and ice chests starting at about $35 will save money in the long run with less replenishing of ice. Bringing water on the trip is also dependant upon where you are going. If there is running water at the campground, you can lighten the load and bring less. More backwoods, primitive camping will call for one gallon per person per day. That only in- cludes enough water for drinking. Extra water will be needed for cooking. Facilities Camping without "facilities" can be an eye-opening experi- ence for anyone who has not had the privilege. Campsites without bathroom and shower facilities are referred to as "primitive." Camping in the Ocala Nation- al Forest is one of those places where there are no electrical hook-ups, no running water and no place except the lake or pond to "tidy up." Fortunately, modern science has found a way to help campers take care of business and retain some modesty. For seasoned campers, camp toilets might hot be the most im- portant item to pack for camping but for. many families camping with children, it is a definite con- sideration. Depending on what is avail- able and permissible at the camp- grounds, the lack of rest facilities can be taken care of for less than $100. A camp shower can be any- thing from a water-filled heavy duty plastic bag with a shower hose connected to it hanging from a tree branch, to a full-sized enclosed camp shower with a battery powered fan. The prices for such "luxuries" can start at $5 to about $70. Speaking of cooking A good camp stove is essential for a well-planned camp cook- out. Propane stoves offer easy start and even temperature cook- ing for whatever is on the menu. A one-burner stove is about $30, while a 3-burner will run about $100. There are even camp stoves with ovens built in for toasting bread or whipping up a small batch of brownies for under $200. New camp stoves do not include the propane tanks in many cases. Contact the campground that you will be staying in to find out what facilities for cooking -that they have available, if any. Some offer charcoal grills and all that you will need is the charcoal and lighter. If you plan to camp out in the wilderness or at a primitive camp- site, don't forget a grate for grill- ing. Put it over the hot coals to cook food on. Don't forget to bring unbreak- able or paper plates, plenty of paper towels, trash bags for clean up, cups, eating and cooking utensils. These are things that can be brought from home. Rather than bring along pots and pans from home or buying expensive camping cookware, purchase an inexpensive set of cookware to keep with your camping gear. Wash them up af- ter the trip and store along with cooking utensils and plastic wash basin for next time. Tools and accessories The list of items could go on and on especially with products on the market made to make you feel at home under the stars. Try to stick with the basics when shopping for your camping trip; otherwise, you could spend more than you set out to. Basic tools are a must when going camping at a campground or out in the woods. A trip to the hardware store will be a good place to start. Rope along with a good camping knife will prove immeasurably useful in setting up camp. A good spade shovel will be needed to dig a pit for the fire, clear any roots where the tent will be set up and also to dig a hole for a toilet. A rubber mallet will be helpful for pounding in tent stakes and a supply of extra tent stakes will be even better if you happen to lose or break one. A multi-tool is a handy and inexpensive item to carry on any trip. A good quality multi-tool with case is about $20 and has several tools all-in-one to provide what you need, when you need it. Another item that should go on, the list is a camping axe. Splitting small sections of wood is much easier with an axe. They are light- weight; don't take up much space and will make life at camp easier. A saw for cutting wood and brush is another essential item. A folding "root" sawwill cut through tough branches and make easy work of getting the kindling for the fire. They can also be used around the house and range in price from about $10. Lighting please Many campgrounds have elec- tric hookups for RVs and camp- ers and illuminated walkways throughout campgrounds. If you are setting up camp in the woods, you will soon find that once it gets dark, it's really dark. A campfire will help to light up the night but flashlights are essen- tial. A good quality, dependable flashlight and plenty of batteries will do the trick for spot lighting. Every person in the camp should be equipped with a flashlight or lantern.- Solar lights will collect energy during the day and help to light up the table during dinner and well into the night. There are also rechargeable lanterns that use either recharge- able batteries or can be plugged into a car lighter. Use of oil burning tiki-torches at campgrounds is many times prohibited due to the open flame. Pests Mosquitoes are a normal part of being outdoors, especially in South Florida. Look for "no see-um" screen when purchasing your tent or screen room. Citronella coils and candles are a deterrent to mosqui- toes and some biting flies. Also, bring plenty of mosquito spray .along to ward off flying nuisances that will make your camping ad- venture less enjoyable. Camping with kids and pets Bringing the kids on the trip? Kids love to go camping and there are endless items geared towards kids in the camping department. Tents and sleeping bags with bright colors and plenty of zippers provide privacy for kids camping with the family. Kids dome tents are very reasonable at around $35-60. Lanterns and flashlights are a must and will help keep kids from getting lost and provide the light under the chin for ghost sto- ries for about $14. the hands of children. Adults should apply repellent first to their own hands and then transfer it to the child's skin and clothing. If additional protection is nec- essary, apply a permethrin repel- lent directly to clothing. Again, always follow the manufacturer's directions. Eliminate mosquito breeding sites Elimination of breeding sites is one of the keys to prevention. * Clean out leaves, troughs and gutters. * Remove old tires or drill holes in those used in playgrounds to drain. *T'Irn over or remove empty plastic pots. *Pick up all beverage contain- ers and cups. *Check tarps on boats or other equipment that may collect wa- ter. * Pump out bilges on boats. *Replace water in birdbaths and pet or other animal feeding dishes at least once a week. *Change water in plant trays, including hanging plants, at least once a week. * Remove vegetation or ob- structions in drainage ditches that prevent the flow of water. Monitoring wild bird deaths can help officials track the spread of some mosquito-borne diseas- es. Anyone who discovers a dead bird is encouraged to report it via the Internet. The bird mortality reporting system is located on the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser- vation Commission's website at: www.MyFWC.corrm/bird/. Citi- zens may also report dead birds to a county health department or local FWC office.
