Q: Dear Doc Savvy. Hello my
name is Jaime, and I have a six-
month-old Chihuahua; named
Bruce. Bruce and I are new to the
area and are very curious 4nd excit-
ed about the Chihuahua races. Are
they coming up
soon, and
where do I sign
up?
A: Well wel-
come to the
neighborhood
Jaime! The Chi-
huahua races
are coming up
very soon. We Doc
will be hosting Savvy
our fourth
annual Chihuahua races during the
28th annual Black Gold Celebration
this April.
Please feel free to stop by my
office for further details and to sign
Bruce right on up' In fact it will be a
great opportunity for me to meet
Bruce, and give him his compli-
mentary clearance exam to be able
to enter the race. Give us a call
Jaime at (561) 996-5500, and we'll
give you directions to Doc Savvy's


Animal Hospital.
Take care, and see you at the
races-Doc Savvy. '
Q: Dear Doc Savvy. How impor-
tant is it to give a cat fresh greens to
eat? Tommy in Wellington.
A: Hello Tommy! Fresh greens
usually help a cat with controlling
hairballs. Hairballs are an accumu-
lation of hair in the stomach, which
either need to be vomited up in a
hair pellet or pooped out in the cat
littler box. Either way Tommy it's
not too attractive, nevertheless it's
necessary. Some cats need hairball
medicine or cat greens in their diet
to help this process along it's way.
So to answer your question, yes
Tommy, cat greens are a very good
idea! You can even growyour own
tray of cat greens with a piece of
sod!
Hope that answers your ques-
tion Tommy. Take care, Doc Savvy.
E-mail your Pet Questions to
DocSavvy@aol.com, and check
out your answers weekly in The Pet
Corner. Be sure to tune into The
Savvy Vet Show each Thursday at

The Gift of Relationship


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
A new year is upon us, filled
with enormous potential and
significant challenges. Are you
prepared to let
God use you
to the fullest in
2006?
SMany of
you are famil-
iar with the
Andy Griffith
show. My wife
loves it, which
means I have John
seen many of Hicks
the shows. s
Something .
about, sirall town relationships
and all of their dynamics is
attractive. There are blessings
that come from times and places
where everyone knows every-
body, neighbor helps neighbor,
and your word is your bond! It's
a good show.
Some of you might remem-,
ber an episode from the show in,
which the Women's Historical
Society discovered that there
was a living descendant of a Rev-
olutionary War hero who was
living in Mayberry. The news
generated excitement and
curiosity throughout the town as
people made plans for recogniz-
ing the hero's relative. Barney
Fife, true to nature, tried to
reshape his own family tree so
that he might be the one in line
for the honor. The rest of the
townspeople felt special just


because someone among them
was related to a hero.
However, everyone was
taken back when a careful analy-
sis of the genealogical records
determined that. the hero's
descendent was none other.
than, Otis Campbell, the town
.drunk. Despite suggestions to
find a "substitute Otis" for the
presentation, the real Otis
showedI upl for the ceremony
true to form.
When the ladies finally gave
him the plaque, Otis held it in his
hands for a.moment, and then
decided to give the plaque to the
town. He shared, "Just because
you're the descendent of a, hero
doesn't make you one too. So I
would like to present this plaque
to the town of Mayberry, to
which. I am just proud to
belong."
That's the value of communi-
ty. We are all just .proud to-
belong, happy to be included!
That's also what happens .to us
in the family of God -we all are
included with Christ and with
one another. It's the gift of rela-
tionship, of belonging. It helps
us make it through in the life that
we live.
Just like all of the animals and
people on the ark we recog-
nize that we are all in this togeth-
er together with Jesus and
with one another. That knowl-
edge helps us keep afloat when
we experience the floods of life.
It's a right neighborly experi-
ence.


Reflections on the mining disaster


By The Reverend Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph.D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
Everyone in the nation hoped
with the families of the trapped
miners in West Virginia. I served
for 12yearsina
mining com-
munity that
had a cave-in -A
as I was begin-
ning my min-
istry there -
recalled the
anguish and
anger, the
recriminations Samuel S.
and accusa- Thomas,
tions, the pain
from the losses
of young men who were just
beginning their lives.
I have been down in some of
the mines in that community and
saw some of the conditions that
could turn deadly at any moment.
Mining is well.paying but it comes
with risks, and even the greatest
safety efforts cannot entirely offset
them. This tragedy had an.even
more sinister dimension to it--
for a time word was received that
12 of the-miners were safe. A few


hours later, their hopes were
dashed and the twist of fate was
cruel hopes even under the
worst circumstances were still
alive only to be dashed and
turned to despair.
This certainly compounded
the tragedy for many, as if the loss-
es weren't bad enough, but to
give false hope and messages of
joy and then retract them certainly
hurt beyond belief.
For me, the story made me
think of another story. It was
about a man who died, was
buried and whose followers left
him. They too had hoped, per-
haps he would do great things,
perhaps he was the one hoped for
and maybe he was going to make
things better. Then he was killed.
The followers were disappointed
beyond belief. They had only a
few that even wanted his dead
body to bury and buried it in a
borrowed tomb. The hope.was
dashed the cynics won the day
that Good Friday and they buried
him, put him in the earth never to
return.
Then the story changed- two
women found the tomb empty
and they recognized him as not
dead but alive. Soon he began to


be seen he was indeed alive.
Their hopes were vindicated after
all. It dawned on me that the res-
urrection story of the Lord is just
the opposite of the mining disas-
ter that was suffered by many in
West Virginia this past week.
The tragedy of the loss of hope
was overcome for the first follow-
ers of Jesus and has given hope to
humanity ever since that Easter
Day. The hurt and sadness the
early disciples felt was not to be
the final feeling they would know
- it would lead to a story of tri-
umph and victory that would
carry them to do earth-changing
things.
That story has brought with it
the hope of all of us -for 2,000
years even at the worst of
moments, we have that hope.
Even when the things we hope for
are not realized, even when our
disappointments are the greatest
imaginable, there is that resurrec-
tion that shouts, "This is not the
end!" The accounts I heard about

those who died in the mining dis-
aster in West Virginia included an
element of faith. Those who live
in a world of risks and are close to
disasters seem to know that,
somehow, God is there to take


Letters to the Editor


More trouble looms
for ailing gulf
Dear editor:
On TV, Florida's tourism ads
promise clean white beaches
and a glistening Gulf stretching
across the horizon. What a sur-
prise Florida tourists have had
this year. They've rubbed their
itchy eyes and watched bulldoz-
ers piling up dead fish in the
worst red tide episode in
decades. They've seen gasping
sea turtles and bloated mana-
tees, victims of red tide.
The Gulf's sickness has dealt
a blow to beachfront hotels, for
-sure, and it has also sucker-
punched recreational and com-
mercial fishermen and divers.
Even North Florida's famous
Apalachicola oysters were inedi-
ble for much of the year, thanks
to red tide.
Now, with red tide still linger-
ing, your state and federal gov-
ernments are poised to issue a
. permit fora major new.pollution
source in the Gulf, a kind of pol-
lution that has already caused
fish to change sexes.
The state Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection has issued
a draft permit for one of the
South's biggest polluters -
Buckeye Florida's pulp mill in
Taylor County to build a huge
pipe to send toxic waste from
the black and smelly Fenhol-
loway River into the Gulf.
The pipe, incredibly, will
empty not far from the Big Bend
Seagrasses Aquatic Preserve,
Outstanding Florida Water and
nursery ground for mullet, sea
trout, redfish, scallops, oysters,
clams, shrimp, blue crab, and
other economically important
species.
Most people in Florida don't
know much about this crazy
plan, but they should. We still
have time to stop it. A tiny band
of Taylor County citizens' as
well as myself have filed a
petition to force the state to hold
an administrative hearing on the
pipeline. We point out that this
pollution is preventable and ille-
gal. DEP's draft permit is full of
special loopholes. Incredibly, the
five-year permit allows Buckeye


to ignore water quality standards
for the next nine years!
EPA has proved repeatedly
that Buckeye is discharging the
deadly chemical dioxin into the
water, but DEP's permit sets no
limits on dioxin. And if you think
that's bad then here's the kicker:
At the end of that nine years,
when the permit at long last
becomes effective, DEP has a
loophole for Buckeye that will
allow a special "mixing zone"
for "chronic toxicity" that
extends a full three miles around
the pipe. The state is officially
sanctioning a legal three-mile
dead zone, on top of the fact that
the pipe will send gender-bend-
ing chemicals out into Gulf
marine nursery grounds. Scien-
tists have documented the. sex-
changing fish. What they don't
know is what these chemicals
.will do to people.
You might think what hap-
pens in rural Taylor County
won't affect you. But it will,
because those polluted marine
creatures will be coming to
shores ll over the Gult, and
around the peninsula to\ the'
Atlantic.
We need a good dose of pub-
lic outrage to stop the state's
misguided gift to the polluting
Buckeye, and we need it now,
before the DEP issues the final
permit. This aging pulp mill
already killed a perfectly good
river the Fenholloway once
was full of fish and had a drink-
ing-water bottling plant on its
bank. Let s not let it kill
the Gulf, too.

How to raise
a trained killer
Dear editor:
It is no exaggeration to say
that video games can help train
people to kill. Ask the people we
trust most, the United States mil-
itary. The military succeeds at
the difficult task of getting peo-
ple to overcome their natural
barriers to committing unthink-
able acts of violence. They use
video games to train our service-
men and women for the rigors of


combat. The same games for
children reward cop killing, auto
theft, and drug dealing. An
underage child should not have
the-unilateral discretion to walk
into a store and purchase such a
product. This is common sense.
As regional director for the
Parents Television Council, I reg-
ularly speak to parents who
want all the help they can get to
protect their children. Many have
trouble keeping up with what is
in the latest games or which
shows and movies that should
not be viewed by their children.
They want help to keep these
games out of their kids
hands.
Currently, a ten-year-old
could purchase a Mature (M
rated) or Adult Only (AO rated)
video game. There are voluntary
guidelines that tell retailers not
to sell these products to chil-
dren, but they have been a fail-
ure due to their voluntary nature.
The new law (SB492) proposed
by Sen. Alex Diaz would basical-
ly take those guidelines and
.make them law.-Despite the fail-
ure of their voluntary guidelines,
the multi-billion dollar video
game industry is fighting this leg-
islation as they did (unsuccess-
fully) in Illinois, Michigan and
California.
The evidence is conclusive:
Countless independent studies
confirm that repeated exposure
to graphically sexual, violent and
profanity-laced video games has
a harmful and long term affect
on children.
Most recently, researchers at
Michigan State University used
functional magnetic resonance
imaging technology to observe
Which areas of the brain are
stimulated when a subject plays
violent video games.
Researchers concluded, "there is
a causal link between playing
the first-person shooting game
in our experiment and brain-
activity pattern that are consid-
ered as characteristic for aggres-
sive cognitions and affects
Violent video games frequently
have been criticized for enhanc-
ing aggressive reactions such as
aggressive cognitions, aggres-
sive affects or aggressive behav-
ior. On a neurobiological level


we have shown the link exists."
If these games are marketed
to and manufactured for adults
as the industry insists, then their
sale to minors should be restrict-
ed. This solution protects our
children without interfering with
the rights of adults. We place
similar restrictions on. the sale of
firearms, tobacco, alcohol and
pornography. This is no differ-
ent.
Video game retailers have
failed to police themselves. A
year ago, the Parents Television
Council conducted a secret
shopper in several cities across
the country and found that more
than 50 percent of stores were
willing to sell M rated video
games to children under 16 years
of age without asking for identifi-
cation. Law enforcement in
Michigan found about half of the
stores they investigated sold
adult rated games to .minors
without- asking for ID. In New
York City a sting found 88% of
stores selling M rated games to
minors. The Parents Television
C6undil .also polled patents and.
.found-.4,at 40 percent were
unaware that there are no legal
restrictions preventing children
from obtaining these games.
The children of Florida are
being bombarded with sexual
and violent images through
video games. The more than
67,000 members of the Parents
Television Council in Florida are
calling for the passage of SB 492
to give parents another tool to
protect their children from such
harmful influences. Florida must
follow the lead of Illinois, Michi-
gan and California and show
that we care about our children
as much as they do theirs. Par-
ents should contact their legisla-
tors about this bill to .urge a
quick passage. Remember that
our children are watching!
The Parents Television Coun-
cil is a non-profit, non-partisan
organization committed to pro-
tecting children from graphic
sex, violence and profanity in
entertainment.

OPINION


them beyond the tragedy and are
close to him in their own special
way.
We had a church in one of
those mining communities with a
six-foot wood carving behind the
alter of Christ between two min-
ers it was one of the first
churches I entered as I began my.
ministry in a mining area. It was
obvious that the church had been
prayed in for many years and
when I'd visit there, there was no
doubt that faith was an important
part of the lives of those who
worked underground even if it
was not always expressed in
some of the more traditional
ways.
It was a fitting tribute to the
words of the Psalmist who wrote:
Thou who has done great things,
O God, who is like thee? Thou
who has made me to see many
sore troubles will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth Thou
will bring me up again (Psalm
71:10)." We get beyond our
tragedies and disasters because
we know that in God they will not
be the end that hope has sus-
tained us since the Lord rose, and
we will not be disappointed in it.

Holmes family lived in Fort Drum; raised a family


Edited by MaryAnn Morris
Addie Holmes Emerson was
born in Fort Drum in 1901. In 1982,
she gave this talk at Indian Ham-
mock. It was recorded for the
Okeechobee News by the late
Twila Valentine..
Mrs. Emerson stated:
"I want to say I am a product of
the area. I was born right in Fort
Drum, I used to fish in Boggy
Branch So our old homestead was
right up here-200 acres of a'
ranch-farm. I am one of 14 chil-
dren. My mother married my father
when he had nine children. I asked
her, 'Mother, whatever possessed
you to marry a man with nine
kids?' She said, 'He looked like he
needed some help.' That was her
answer to my question. I had nine
half-brothers and sisters. My par-
ents were married in 1895. She was
from Orlando, and had come
down on Captain Johnson's boat
on the Kissimmee River and met
my father in Fort Basinger in May of
1895 and theywere married.
"But just before that, she had a
sister, Aunt Ada Chandler, who
lived in Basinger. She and mother
were invited to come over and visit
in Mr. Holmes' home before they
were married. At that time my

brother, Teat Holmties, was a little
boy about five or six years old. My
father went upstairs in the old farm-
house. It had a barracks on the sec-
ond story. The boys slept upstairs.
The girls slept downstairs. And, so,
my mother and my aunt had to use
my father's bed downstairs. My
brother Teat, walked up to my
mother and said, 'That's my pa's
bed.' He wasn't about to have 'that
woman' sleeping in his father's
bed!
"The old house was one room
thick, which was the customary
type of building which they built in
those, days. There were plenty of
windows and doors. Right through
the middle of the house went a
breezeway. And trat's just what it
was for the breeze, and you
walked through it. There were long

.porches on each side, the front and
the back. The kitchen was like the
old Southern style of building with
the kitchen away from the house.
The shingles on the roof were:
hand-split shingles and the porches
had truncheon floors, very thick. It
was a log split down the middle
and then fixed in such a way that
they pushed them together and
made your floor.
"There was a three acre grove
around the old house. The old trees
were so tall, that when they


shipped fruit, it took a 30 foot lad-
der to get the oranges out of the top
of those trees. We had about three
or four grapefruit trees, but most,
were orange trees; Parson Brown
was the name of the orange that
was popular. Then came the freeze
of 1895. The trees all froze and they
had to cut them way back to about
head high-almost down to the
stump. But the trees came.back
and survived.
"There-were stables with a sad-
dle room with all the harness and


everything in it. You couldn't mess
with the cow ponies-- they didn't
care about anything but the man
who rode them. They were not
horses for kids to play with. Mv\
father's cow pony, Tom would lay
back his ears every time we'd get
near him, so w\e knew to stay away.
He was not good for kids. My father


always said he was the best cow
horse he'd ever seen. He could go
ten or twelve hours a day and never
falter. But we had old Molly and she
was the family horse. \Ve could,
well, ten of us could get on her and
it didn't make any difference to her
at all. She'd walk under the clothes
line and push us all off into the dirt."


'Real age' depends on many factors


Are you as old as you feel?
How long a person will live
depends on a lot of factors includ-
ing lifestyle, genetics and luck.
Many health and' nutrition
websites offer tips on how to
increase your chances of living
longer and improving your health.
. Several years ago, I wrote a
column about the concept of your
"real" or "biological" age as
opposed your chronological age.
Books on this topic by Dr. Michael
Roizen have made the New York
Times best seller list. The idea is
to consider how many factors
affect not only how old you look
and feel, but also how long you
will live.
Most of these books, include
quizzes designed to determine
your current "real" age and then
advise you how to make health
choices to improve your score.
Some factors are things you
can't change, such as genetics
and family medical history. If your
parents and grandparents lived to
be age 90 or older, your chances
of living that long increase. If
there is. no history of cancer in
your family, that improves your
score. While these factors are
,interesting and may indicate areas
you should pay attention to in
regard to being tested regularly
for any health problems that run
in your family, these are things
you can't change.
A change in other areas, such
as nutrition or lifestyle, can make
a big difference in your "real age."
Factors that affect your "real
age" and projected lifespan
include:
Do you eat breakfast every
day? (Reduces your "real age.")
Do you smoke? (Increases


your "real age")
Do you exercise at least five
times a week? (Reduces your
"real age.")
Do you eat five servings of
vegetables a day? (Reduces your
"real age.")
Some of the quizzes include
factors such as where you live,
how many miles you spend in a
car per day and where you work.
Stress factors are also included
such as whether or not you are
happily married; how many
friends you have; and whether or
not you attend church regularly.
The following websites offer
free quizzes to help determine
your "real" age:
www.realage.com
hNup: W Vww.growyouthful.
conm/quiz.php
http://www.preventdisease.
com/healthtools/articles/healthag
e.html
The quizzes can be fun, espe-
cially if they tell you that you are
younger than your drivers' license
indicates One website t6ld me
that if I rnaintain my diet and exer-
cise routines, I may live to be 110
years old, (but I shouldn't look a
day over.100).
:I have the advantage of com-
ing from a family of long-lived,
healthy people. I have never
smoked cigarettes and I pay atten-
tion to good nutrition. But the
quizzes gave me some ideas on
how I could improve my own
health.
For some, who find their "real
age" is higher than their "chrono-
logical age," the tests can be a
wake-up call. An encouraging
aspect is that if you make lifestyle
changes and take the quiz a few


months later, you may find you
have gotten "younger" by their
standards.
Before making any change in
your diet or exercise plan, consult
your doctor. This is especially
important if you are on any pre-
scription medications. Some
drugs interact badly with foods
that would otherwise be consid-
ered "healthy."

Lipizzaners perform 'Airs Above the Ground'


Submitted to the Okeechobee News/White Stallion Productions Inc.-
For the Capriole maneuver, the horse finds his tempo, leaps
into the air, drawing his forelegs under his chest and, at the
height of elevation, kicks out violently with his hind legs.


By Katrina Elsken

OKEECHOBEE The World
Famous Lipizzaner Stallions are
coming to the Lake Okeechobee
area.
The rare dancing white hors-
es will perform at the Okee-
chobee Agri-Civic Center on Fri-
day, Jan. 13. Tickets for the
performance are available at
Eli's Western'Wear in Okee-
chobee. For more information,
contact the Okeechobee Agri-
Civic Center at 763-1666.
Lipizzaners were founded in


the 16th century for the use of
the Hapsburg Royal Family of
Austria. The Lipizzan breed was
established by Archduke Charles
at Lipizza (now part of
Yugoslavia). They are well
known for their dance-like
movements, earning them the
title "the ballerina of horses."
The "Airs Above the Ground"
is a series of.maneuvers where
the horse leaps above the
ground. These may be per-
formed with or without a rider.
These maneuvers were once
used in battle to protect the rider


on the battlefield; the horse actu-
ally became a weapon.
The Spanish Riding School in
Vienna, Austria is credited with
turning the horses' historical
training into an art form. But
Americans played a part in keep-
ing the breed alive.
General George Patton is
credited with helping to save the
horses from extinction during
World.War II.
During World War II, Austrian
Col. Alois Podhajsky was in
charge of the Lipizzaners:at the
Spanish Riding School in Vienna.'
The performing horses were
considered by the Austrians. to
be a national treasure. When the
Germans took over Austria, Col.
Podhajsky wanted to move the
stallions out of the city to keep
them safe, despite German
orders that the riding school stay
open, even though Vienna was
under attack by Allied bombers.
Col. Podhajsky managed to
sneak the stallions out of the city
to an estate at St. Martin's in the
Austrian countryside. According
to Otto Herrmann, who was,
with the group from the Riding
School, they traveled through
the woods, often by night. He
said they smeared, mud on the
horses' white coats to disguise
them.
At St. Martin's the riding
school staff had to defend the
horses from starving refugees
who would have killed and
eaten the beautiful stallions.
In 1945, as the war neared.its
end, the stallions were safe at St.
Martins, but Col. Podhajsky was
worried about the mares. Earlier
in the war, the mares had been
moved to Czechoslovakia for
safety. While the American army
was moving into Germany, it
was feared the Russians would
take Czechoslovakia and the rid-


ing school might not be able to
recover the mares from them.
Without the mares, the Lipizzan-
ers would face eventual extinc-
tion as a breed.
By coincidence General
George S. Patton's Third Army
was near St. Martin's.
General Patton, who had
competed in equestrian events.
himself, remembered Col. Pod-
hajsky from the Olympics. The
general agreed to help save the
horses.
On April 26, 42nd Squadron
of the United State Army's Sec-
ond Cavalry, captured a German
general and his staff near
Hostau. The general showed
Col. Charles Reed photographs
of the Lipizzaner horses. When
questioned further, the general
told Col. Reed the horses were
being held at the German
Remount Depot along with
allied prisoners of war who
cared for the horses.
Col Reed contacted General
Patton to ask permission to
attack Hostau to liberate the pris-
oners and horses. As they
entered the area, an agreement
was made with the Germans to
allow American forces to go into
Hostau and rescue the horses,
from the oncoming Russian
troops. German officers who
also admired the Lipizzans coop-
erated with the Americans, fear-
ing that approaching Russian
troops would destroy the breed.
On April 28, members 42nd
Squadron attacked the German
lines and accepted the surrender
of the Germans at Hostau. The
surrender, according to Col.
Reed's statement, was "more a
fiesta than a military operation,
as. the German troops drew up
an honor guard and saluted the
American troops as they came

The Americans found at.
Hostau a population of some
150 Lipizzans, including a few
stallions, mares and their colts of
two and three years of age. The
first day was spent inspecting the
horses. Two days later, German
SS troops organized a counter
attack on the 42nd Squadron as
it moved eastward along the
Czechoslovakian border. The
Germans were driven off and a
week later, the war had ended.
The horses were quickly moved
to the area controlled by the
American Army, where General
Patton gave them his protection.
Breeding of the Lipizzans is
strictly controlled, although the
horses may now be found in
other countries.

Submitted to INI/Doc Savvy
Pet of the Week winner
Frisky is this week's Pet of the Week winner and has an interesting tale to tell, no pun
intended. Frisky was recently recovered by his owners thanks to the popular technology
of inserting a chip into your animals for this very reason. Lost for close to a year, Frisky
was able to be identified by Doctor Noelle Savedoff of Doc Savvy's Animal Hospital.
Frisky would have been hard to recognize from his photo to the left when he was first
found and brought to Doc Savvy's. But after a bath and haircut, Frisky was back to his
normal self and back with his owners. Frisky just had a cleaning, but deserves a trip back:
to Doc Savvy's pet spa as this week's winner. If you have any interesting photos of your
pet, or an interesting story to tell, submit them to me, at myoung@newszap.com for a
chance to win your pet a day of pampering. Doc Savvy can be reached at (561) 996-5500.

ORLANDO The deadline for
Florida residents affected by Hurri-
cane Wilma to apply for
federal/state disaster assistance
has been extended to Thursday,
Jan. 19, say officials from the
Department of Homeland Securi-
ty's Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA) and Flori-
da's State Emergency Response
Team (SERT).
"We want to make sure every
Floridian has had the opportunity
to apply and receive the assistance
for which he or she is eligible,"
Justin DeMello, federal coordinat-
ing officer, said. "Don't prejudge
yourself, call and apply by Jan. 19."
The first step in applying for aid
is to register with FEMA. There are
two ways to register: Log on to
www.fema.gov, or call (800) 621-
FEMA (3362) or TTY (800) 462-
7585 for those with speech or
hearing impairments. Both lines
are available 24/7. Residents are
urged to register for assistance
only once registering multiple
times may cause delays in the
assistance process.
"The state team is committed
to working with our federal part-
ners in meeting the needs of
Floridians who were affected by
Hurricane Wilma," Craig Fugate,
state, coordinating officer, said.
"Extending the deadline ensures
that we can be as thorough as pos-
sible in this vital endeavor.".
Those who suffered losses
from the hurricane have a variety.
of assistance programs available
to them as they seek to recover in
the storm's aftermath. Individual
Assistance can include grants to
help pay for temporary housing,,
home repairs and other disaster-
related expenses not covered by%
insurance or other aid programs.
Lowb-interest disaster loans from
the U.S. Small Business Adminis-
tration (SBA) are also available to
cover residential and business
losses not fully compensated by
insurance. Grants do not have to
be repaid, but loans from the SBA
must be repaid.
To be considered for such aid,
individuals must have sustained
losses ordamage from Hurricane
Wilma and reside in a county that
has been designated eligible for
Individual Assistance programs.
The following counties have been
designated. Brevard, Broward,
Collier, Glades, Hendry, Indian
River, Lee, Martin, Miami-Dade,
Monroe, Okeechobee, Palm
Beach, and St. Lucie.


"We want to make sure every Floridian has had
the opportunity to apply and receive the assis-
tance for which he or she is eligible."

Dog killed by Florida

panther in Immokalee


IMMOKALEE An investiga-
tion by Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
officers has confirmed an
Immokalee homeowner's report
that a Florida panther killed his pet
Chihuahua. The attack occurred
around 8 p.m., Dec. 12.
The homeowner said he
shined a light out of his window
after hearing the dog yelping. He
said a few minutes later the pan-
ther retreated to the woods with
the small dog. The homeowner
reported the incident to the FWC,
which dispatched law enforce-
ment officers to investigate.
When officers arrived, the pan-
ther and dog were gone, but there
was blood on the ground. An offi-
cer and a biologist returned to the
scene the following morning and
found the fresh tracks of a male
Florida panther.
Before the attack, the Chihuahua
and another pet dog were tethered
by a cable in the side yard of the resi-
dence near adjacent woods. There
was no fence between the dogs and
the forest area. The property is sur-
rounded by many acres of wildlife
habitat, connected to areas often
used by panthers.
This is the second report of a
Florida panther attacking a domes-
tic dog in 20 years. The last one was
in the late 1980s, however, the dog
involved in that attack was not seri-
ously injured. In 2004, a Florida
panther killed two domestic goats
and an emu near Ochopee.
Interactions between Florida
panthers and humans are rare. The
cats hunt at night and generally are
afraid of people. There has never
been a reported injury or death of a
human caused by a Florida pan-
ther.
FWC law enforcement officers
are paying repeat visits to the site
where the dog attack occurred.
The homeowner told officers he
was particularly concerned
because the family runs a small
daycare center out of the house
during the day. However, he said
the family has taken measures to
ensure the safety of the children.
Panther experts advise parents
living in Florida panther country to
watch children whenever they play
outdoors, and make sure they are
inside before dusk and not outside
before dawn. Parents should also
talk with children about Florida
panthers and teach them what to
do if they encounter one specifi-
cally, not to approach the cat, not to
run and not to crouch down


(which would make children
appear smaller).
The Florida panther has been
recognized as an endangered
species for nearly 40 years. Experts
believe there are between 70 and
100 living in the wild. Scientists use
radio collars to monitor the move-
ments and behavior of about a
third of the known Florida panther
population.
FWC, the National Park Service
and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
work together to respond to Flori-
da panther incidents and to edu-
cate and inform the public about
ways to live safely with wildlife,
including the Florida panther. A
fact sheet on Living Safely in Florida
Panther Country is available at
MyFWC.com/panther.

The arrest is part of a joint

of artists, and is proud to have
earned her title of "Master Print-
er."
"There is no better way of
learning about printmaking than
to work with another artist/print-
maker," Ms. Thompson said.
In a flyer promoting her art--
work, Ms. Thompson explains
the age old art of etching. ,
A complex medium, etching
involves a two-part process,
plate making and "editi6ring."
In the plate making process,
the artist draws lines through an
acid resistant coating on a zinc
plate. After the drawing is com-
pleted, the plate is immersed in
an acid bath, which bites into
the exposed lines. The protec-
tive coating is then removed. .
In the second step. of the
process, the plate is inked,
wiped and run through the press
where it comes in contact \\ith
dampened sheets of paper. The
pressure, of the press rollers
forces the paper into the bitten
links and the ink transfers onto
the paper. For each color, anoth-
er plate is used and printed in
register with the others. Multi-
plate color etching is recognized.
as being a challenging process,
requiring patience and skill.
Ms. Thompson uses the term
"etching" to describe her art-
work, as opposed to printing to
distinguish her work from
mechanically reproduced
copies.
"The term 'print' has been'
used to mean reproduction,
when in fact reproduction is a
mechanically produced copy of
an already existing original," Ms..
Thompson explains. "A print is
made by an art-printmaker who
has herself prepared a printing
surface, whether wood, stone,
metal or fabric and from that
surface takes a limited number
of impressions. Each resulting
print is considered an original.
The reason I use the word etch-
ing, which describes my work is
to help relieve the confusion."
Ms. Thompson has graciously
agreed to donate a set of her
lovely bird cards, a $20 value, to
be given as a door prize to some
lucky festival-goer.

although to obtain a firearms

indicate that Ms. Bradford's pre-
vious criminal history may
involve a violent crime and/or
some level of a felony offense.
Detective Pepitone would not
elaborate on Ms. Bradford's pre-
vious charges and would not
confirm the reports that Mr. Brad-
ford is also a convicted felon. The
Glades County Democrat has
learned that the deceased had
allegedly been abusive towards
Ms. Bradford in the past, and that
Ms. Bradford allegedly warned
her brother not to come back. A

win, scoring 21 points in the final minutes of the game.

By Bill Fabian
CLEWISTON The Clewiston
High School varsity boys' basket-
ball program has kicked off the
NewYearwith a bang, starting with
a home victory against rivals
Glades Central at Clewiston High
School.
The Tigers shocked the visiting
Raiders in a dramatic comeback
win, scoring 21 points in the final
minutes of-the game. Junior guard
Reggie Gray sank a three-point shot
late in the fourth period, and put
the Tigers ahead for good with just
a minute left to play. The Raiders
(8-4) failed to make several foul
shots in the final seconds, as the
Tigers (3-2) avenged a 75-70 loss to
the Raiders earlier in the season.
The Raiders opened up the
game with a fast-paced, high-pres-
sure defensive attack that had the
Tigers on their heels. While the
Tigers struggled to make :adjust-
ments, the Raiders kept scoring
high-percentage shots from the
floor, and built up a 34-25 lead by
halftime to quiet the rowdy home-
town Tiger fans last Thursday night.
Clewiston Head Coach Willie
Lee must have said something right


to his players during halftime,
because the Tigers came back onto
the floor looking as if they knew
just how to win the game, appear-
ing confident and ready to hustle.
Hustle was the name of the
game for Gray, as well as juniors
Jasper Hunter and Johnny Jones.
Gray and Hunter put up 13 points
apiece against the Raiders. Jones
added 10 points and a dominating
presence under the basket, as he
leads all Tiger scoring and
rebounding with 53 points on the
season.
The Tigers fought through the
Raiders' constant full-court press,
% which eventually left open shots for
the Tigers, who closed the gap
against the visiting team that led at
one point by 11. At the end of the
third period, the Tigers were down
by three to the Raiders, 45-42.
The Tigers began their own
attack in the final stretch, going full
court against the Raiders and play-
ing great defense to hold GCHS to
just 11 points in the third period,
and 15 points in the fourth. Mean-
while, the Tigers began hitting the
open lanes being given up by a tir-
ing Central defense, and managed
to hold onto the lead after the three
pointer by Gray late in the fourth.

Trey Toms takes Spiegel Invitational championship


SEBRING Moore Haven High.
School's one-man wrestling team
proved to be a one-man show, as
17-year-old.Trey Toms traveled to
the ninth annual Spiegel Memorial
Wrestling Tournament in Sebring
last weekend, and walked away
with the tournament title for his
weight class.
But Toms is no stranger to this
level of victory, as this year's title
was a repeat of Toms winning the
tournament last year. Toms started
off the competition with a bang by
pinning the shoulders of his 135-
pound competitor in 47 seconds of
the first round to kick off his unde-
feated run through the tourna-
ment. He closed out the finals with
an 11-0 major decision victory to
wrap the title in grand style.


Toms is Aached by his mother
Kim Toms and trains with the Cow-
boy mat warriors from LaBelle
High School whose head coach
Tony Zuchegno welcomes Toms
into the Cowboy wrestling den and
is appreciated by Toms.
"Coach Zuch has really been
cool," said Toms. "He let me come
over and train with his team and
always made me feel like I was one
,of them."
Toms' mother admits that this
may be an unusual arrangement,
"but it seems to lead to success for
Trey," she said. "It doesn't bother
him anymore that his mother is the
only female wrestling coach in
Florida his opponents are laugh-
ing either."


Submitted to INI/Kim Toms
On his way to his second straight Spiegel Memorial wrestling
title, Moore Haven's Trey Toms wracks up victory after victo-
ry in his 135-pound division.

Tiger grapplers take fourth at nine-team dual competition


By Mark Young
CLEWISTON The Clewiston
Tigers hosted their annual invita-
tional Jan. 7 and invited a total of
nine teams, which included the
Tiger hosts, Okeechobee, LaBelle,
Glades Central, Estero, Lehigh,
American Heritage, Golden Gate,
and Key West.
This marathon test of
endurance for young wrestlers
would prove to produce some
heated competition on the mat and
it would be the Okeechobee Brah-
mans emerging with the overall
victory, while Estero took second


place, the Cowboys from LaBelle
ended up third, and the host Tigers
would hold onto fourth. Lehigh fin-
ished fifth, American Heritage was
sixth, Key West was seventh, Gold-
en Gate was eighth, and the
Raiders of Glades Central rounded
out the field in tenth place.
Two grapplers earned Out-
standing Tournament Wrestler
awards and it was LaBelle's 130-
pounder Colin Sparks who defeat-
ed Glades Central's wrestler who
had placed in the state champi-
onship tournament last year. Gold-
en Gate's J. Gomez also earned his
award by dominating his weight


division for the tournament title.
The Tigers ended up winning
two of their duals while dropping
two to finish the tournament with a
.500 record. The Tigers defeated
American Heritage 36-27 and
downed Key West 49-27. Lehigh
handed the Tigers a 42-28 defeat
and the eventual tournament
champions from Okeechobee beat
Clewiston 54-18. The Tigers did
muster a trio of pins against the
Brahmans, with Jared Bacalloa
picking up a pin in the 119-pound
division, Arsenio Ramirez pinned
his 140-pound opponent, and Tiger
sensation Kris Smith continued his


winning ways with a pin against his
145-pound Brahman counterpart.
The Cowboys, who did place
third in the tournament, dominat-
ed the Raiders from Glades Central
with a 51-12 victory, beatAmerican
Heritage 32-21, put up a good fight
in losing to Okeechobee 47-33, and
lost a close match to the second
place squad from Estero by a score
of 47-43.
Smith and Bacalloa ended up
with perfect 4-0 records for the tour-
ney. Brandon Caulkins and Ramirez
were equally impressive with 3-1
records, while Nelson Rojas also
remained undefeated in the three

Wild turkeys are returned to Everglades


EVERGLADES A team of
wildlife biologists from the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission I F\VC) helped bolster
the declining wild turkey popula-
tion at Everglades National Park
this week.
The team used bail and rocket,
nets to catch 19 Osceola turkeys at
pi ate ranches elsewhere in the
state for release in the Long Pine
Key section of the park.
The relocation project, designed
10 strengthen the wild turkey popu-
lation in the park, is a joint effort by
the National Wild Turkey Federa-
tion, Eerglades National Park and
the FWC. It is the second such relo-
cation effort by the three groups. In
January 2000, they organized the
capture and release o i2Osceblas
into the park, which does not allow
public hunting.
Because the birds can become


stressed and overheat during a cap-
ture in warm weather, the team
worked in temperatures under 65
degrees, according to Larry Perrin,
coordinator of FWVC's wild turkey
program. The healthy birds %vere
released soon after their capture.
Each bird \\as marked with wing
tags, and 10 birds were fitted with
small radio transmitters, so biolo-
gists can monitor their movement,
behavior, habitat use and survival
after the release.
Three private ranches, includ-
ing the Lykes Brothers Ranch,
donated turkeys.
In 2004 and 2005, remotely
operated digital infrared cameras,
including equipment donated by
the Homestead Chapter of the
turkey federation, were used to sur-
vey the population status of
turkeys. The results show the pop-
ulation is extremely low.


Special to INI/Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission
A team of wildlife biologists recently captured wild turkeys at
private ranches and released them in the Everglades Nation-
al Park. They hope to increase the wild turkey population in
the park, which does not allow public hunting.


matches in which he competed.
Adamin Trevino and Bryon
Holmes had solid outing with

.500 records at 1-1. Joey Cordova,
Adam Haire, and Alton Edmond all
picked up one .victory for the
Tigers; as did Jamar Boykin who

'As soon as (Jamar) gets a little
more experience under him, he will
be a force to reckon \\ith because of
his overall strength and ability," said
Tiger head coach Jess Alford.
The Tigers will head to Live Oak
next week for what their coach is
calling some of the toughest
matches they will see all year.
Suwannee is currently ranked
number one in the IA state polls
and will be hosting the Tigers, as"
\\vell,as several other squads in their

"This tournament will be hard-
er than anything We'll see at the
state playoffs this year," said coach
Alford. "I'm looking forward to the
competition to see just where we
sit as a team."
Coach Alford sent his thanks
out to everyone who supported the
Tiger Invitational this past week,
including everyone \\ho participat-
ed in the Tiger carwash to help
raise funds to send wrestlers to
regionals and state this year. Many
local businesses also supported the
squad and ,they include McDon-
ald's, U-Save, Subway, Maxis

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


Thursday, January 12,2006


SWFL 1/06


S5884-GH 186342











Lake Okeechobee's water levels continue to drop


Aweekly update from the South
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict.
System-wide overview: Rainfall
last week was negligible District-
wide. Based on continuing discus-
sions regarding the status of Lake
Okeechobee, the estuaries and pre-
dicted drier-than-normal dry sea-
son. District staff have developed a
transitional pulse release schedule
to recommend to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. If forecasts for
a drier than normal dry season are
true, some models have the lake
reaching 14 feet by May.


Lake Okeechobee: Lake Okee-
chobee levels continue to drop.
Lake level is at 15.69 ft, down 0.08 ft
since last week. The lake is 0.12 ft
higher today than it was on this
date last year. The gap between this
year's and last year's stage levels
has been steadily decreasing' how-
ever, stage levels continue to be
higher than the desired levels for
optimum Lake ecological health.
The collection of January lake eco-
logical monitoring data will begin
next week.
Upper Chain of Lakes/Kissim-
mee Basin: All Lakes in the Upper


Kissimmee region are at or below
their respective regulations sched-
ules, allowing water managers to
reduce flows through the Kissim-
mee River to Lake Okeechobee.
There continues to be water on the
restored floodplain and wildlife
counts are good. Water managers
will slowly reduce the inflows to
the restored section to prevent
damage.
St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee
Estuaries: Level 1 pulse releases
from Lake Okeechobee to both
estuaries began on Jan. 1, 2006.
Salinity data for the past week are


temporarily unavailable but should
be resorted by next week. Declin-
ing inflows suggest improving
salinity conditions, but conditions
remain poor.
Water Conservation- Areas
(WCA)?: Water depths in the con-
servation areas continued to
decrease throughout the area
through managed releases, lake of
rainfall, and evapotranspiration
losses. WCA-1 Water depths
declined slightly and remain below
regulation schedule. WCA-3A
water depths declined slightly, and
at 10.44 ft, are below regulation


Floridians can take advantage of tax relief


TALLAHASSEE With the end
of the 2005 tax season fast
approaching, Tom Gallagher, Flori-
da's chief financial officer, encour-
aged Floridians impacted by this
year's hurricanes to take advantage
of tax and time relief measures
available.
"Many hurricane victims are still
struggling to repair their homes
and rebuild their lives," said Mr.
Gallagher. "We want to get the
word out that Floridians who were
impacted by, or helped victims of,
the 2005 storms may qualify for tax
savings or obtain extensions for
reporting and payment deadlines."
The Katrina Emergency Relief
Act, effective Sept 23, 2005, post-
pones deadlines for storm victims
to perform many time-sensitive
acts until Feb. 28, 2006. These
include filing quarterly federal


employment and excise tax
returns, corporate estimated tax
payments and individual estimated
tax payments due to the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS).
Both individuals and business-
es can also qualify for certain tax
deductions if they've suffered
losses resulting -from Hurricanes
Katrina, Rita or Wilma. Floridians
who helped or housed evacuees
from hurricanes may also qualify
for tax relief.
Mr. Gallagher said that Floridians
may be able to lower their federal
taxes by claiming hurricane proper-
ty losses not covered by insurance.
This is allowed for damage caused
by sudden, unexpected or unusual
events such as hurricanes. Victims
living in the federally-declared disas-
ter areas can claim these losses on
last year's taxes by filing an amend-


ment to their 2004 return.
Taxpayers in the entire state of
Florida will be eligible for relief if
they identify themselves as affected
by Hurricane Katrina.
The Hurricane Wilma Emer-
gency Relief Act is awaiting the Pres-
ident's signature. Upon the act
being signed, taxpayers who identi-
fy themselves as victims of Hurri-
cane Wilma will be eligible for relief
if they live in the following 20 coun-
ties: Brevard, Broward, Charlotte,
Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee,
Hendry, Highlands, Indian River,
Lee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe,
Okeechobee, Osceola, Palm Beach,
Polk, St. Lucie and Sarasota:
The IRS has requested that any
envelopes or correspondence that
are subject to these extended dead-
lines should have either Hurricane
Wilma or Hurricane Katrina printed


in red on the top of the envelope or
tax form to identify them as coming
from a hurricane victim. The IRS has
set up a special help line for hurri-
cane victims at 18661562-5227.
Mr. Gallagher said that tax
breaks are also available for good
Samaritans who took in homeless
Katrina victims for at least 60 days.
You can take an extra $500 exemp-
tion for each of your guests, up to a
maximum of $2,001)
The Florida Department of Rev-
enue announced it will work with
filers and companies in areas desig-
nated as federally declared disaster
areas to extend filing and-payment
deadlines on a case-by-case basis.
They can be contacted at 800-352-
3671 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.

schedule. Continued water releas-
es have dropped water levels in
southern WCA-3A to 2.76 ft, which
continues to improve conditions
fro tree islands. Continued declines
in water levels will improve condi-
tions for healthy tree growth at the
beginning of the growing season.
WCA-2A water levels remain above
the regulation schedule, while
WCA-2B is deeper than normal.

When freeze threatens;


crops ge

GAINESVILLE When
freezes threaten crops, growers
rely on the Florida Automated
Weather Network for accurate
weather data to protect their
crops. In addition to delivering
weather data 24 hours daily, the
University of Florida network
helps farmers improve their irriga-
tion efficiency and provides reli-
able climate predictions months
in advance.
"Weather is still the most
important input in agriculture,
and the Florida Automated
Weather Network also known
as FAWN keeps a close,watch
on changing weather conditions
around the state with 33 high-tech.
stations linked to our computers
in Gainesville," said Larry Tread-
away, director of the network.
"The statewide network,
which provides weather data .via
the Internet and a toll-free phone
.service, is important because reg-
ular weather forecasts for cities
may be misleading to farmers
located in cooler rural areas," he
said: "Heaf trapped in concrete
and asphalt can make cities 10
degrees warmer than farms in
rural areas. When cold weather
moves through the state, the dif-
ference can be devastating to cit-
rus, vegetables and other cold-
sensitive crops."
He said the weather net\ ork
saves growers more than $38 mil-
lion annually:,,
Started. by UF's Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences in
1998 after the National Weather
Service discontinued special fore-
casts for agriculture, the network
is now a widely used manage-
ment tool for thousands of grow-
ers around the state, Treadaway
said.
Nick Faryna, owner of Faryna
Grove Care and Harvesting in
Umatilla, said he uses the net-
work to keep track of cold weath-
er. "It is an extremely valuable
asset to those who protect our
crops from freezing tempera-
tures," he said.
Phil Cross, senior project man-
ager of WaterConserv II near
Orlando that distributes
reclaimed wastewater from the
metro area over more than 4,000
acres of citrus and other crops,


automated aid


said FAWN is an important tool
for agricultural interests through-
out the state.
- "The information is very valu-
able for freeze protection, and
data from the network enables
growers to shut off irrigation sys-
tems after a freeze at the earliest
possible time, thereby saving
thousands or even.millions of gal-
lons of water," he said.*
Anita Simpson, owner of
Simpson Groves in Mt. Dora, said,
"FAWN is an important part of our
cold-protection plan we use the
network constantly during freeze
situations, which saves thousands
of dollars in irrigation costs."
Each solar-powered station in
the FAWN network collects
weather data and transmits it to a
computer in Gainesville every 15
minutes. The stations measure air
temperatures at two, six and 30
feet above ground, soil tempera-
ture, wind speed and direction,
rainfall,-relative humidity, baro-
metric pressure, leaf wetness and
solar radiation. Real-time weather
data from the network is available
at (352) 846-3100 or ('866) 754-
5732 and at the FAWN \Veb site.
http://fawn.ifas.ufl.edu
Treadaway said growers are
looking at FAWN as a source.of
reliable information not only for
cold protection, but also for:
wveather-drihen computer models
in pest control, irrigation schedul-
ing, fertilizer rates and other man-
agement programs.
"It's all part, of the: growing
trend toward precision agricul-
ture," he said.
John Jackson, a IIF Lake
County extension agent in
Tavares, Fla., who works with
Treadaway on the project, said
FAWN provides growers with crit-
ical information on when it's safe
to turn off their irrigation systems
used for freeze protection
"Some crops such as ferns and
strawberries utilize relatively large
amounts of water to protect an
entire crop, while citrus uses
much smaller application rates
per acre to protect the tree trunk
and lower limbs," he said. "Wh\\en
growers use water, they must
determine the critical ternpera-
tures for crops and turn irrigation
systems on and off to keep from


reaching damaging levels while
minimizing water use at the same
time."
The planned integration of
FAWN with the AgClimate climate
forecasting system during the
next two years will provide pro-
ducers with additional manage-'
ment tools, said Jim Jones, distin-
guished professor in UF's
agricultural and biological engi-
neering department.
An expert in computer model-
ing climate effects on cropping
systems, Jones said AgClimate is
operated by the Southeast Cli-
mate Consortium, which includes
UF, Florida State University, Uni-
versity of Miami,' University of
Georgia, Auburn University and
University of Alabama in
Huntsville. Information available
on AgClimate includes climate
forecasts combined with risk
management tools and informa-
tion for selected crops, forestry,
pasture and livestock. For more

Florida folic acid coalition promotes awareness program


GAINESVILLE The Florida
Folic Acid Coalition, based at the
University of Florida, is joining
with the National Council on
Folic Acid to promote National
Folic Acid Awareness Week, Jan.
9-15..
The goal of the weeklong
event is to increase consumer
awareness of the importance of
folic acid in their diet for the pre-
vention of birth defects as well as
the vitamin's many other lifelong
benefits, said Ron Lutz, a family
nurse practitioner and coordina-
tor for the Florida Folic Acid
Coalition at UF's Institute of Food
and Agricultural Sciences, or
UF/IFAS.
"We also encourage health
care providers to promote the
benefits of folic acid in potential-
ly reducing the risk of heart dis-
ease, certain cancers and condi-
tions affecting the brain such as
Alzheimer's disease," he said.
Gail Rampersaud, a registered
dietitian and assistant in nutrition


research and education at
UF/IFAS, said folic acid is a B-vita-
min necessary for proper cell
growth. Daily intake, of at least
400 micrograms of folic acid
before and during pregnancy has
been shown to reduce the risk
for serious birth defects of the
brain and spine, called neural
tube defects.
Since 1998, the Food and
Drug Administration has
required the addition of folic acid
to enriched cereal grain products
such as breads, cereals, flours,
pastas, rice and othergrain prod-
ucts. According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
fortification has helped reduce
the rates of neural tube defects
by approximately 26 percent.
Rampersaud said the theme
of the educational campaign -
Folic Acid: You Don't Know What
You're Missing! is especially
important in light of the recent;
Gallup Organization Poll for the
March of Dimes that showed.


only seven percent of women
know that folic acid must be
taken before a pregnancy to pre-
vent neural tube defects. Only
about one-third of women of
childbearing age take folic acid
daily.
Lynn Bailey, a professor in the
UF/IFAS food science and human
nutrition department, said that
taking 400 micrograms of folic
acid before and during early
pregnancy from a multi-vitamin
or fortified foods may help
reduce the risk for. neural tube
defects by up to 70 percent and
may reduce risks for other birth
defects as well. Her research on
folic acid was a major factor in
the National Academy of Sci-.
ences' decision to issue its rec-
ommendations on folic acid and
birth defect prevention.
"Although the popularity of
low-carbohydrate diets is wan-
ing, many women still restrict
their intake of folic acid-enriched
grain products such as breads,


cereals, rice and pastas when try-
ing to curb calorie intake," Bailey
said. "Many women of childbear-
ing age might not understand
that lowering their intake of
enriched grains could increase
their risk of having a pregnancy
affected by a birth defect."
To get enough folic acid every
day, women should take a daily
multivitamin and include forti-
fied grains as part of a healthy
diet that includes folate-rich
foods such as orange juice, dark
green leafy vegetables, strawber-
ries, and legumes such as
peanuts and kidney beans, Bailey
said.
About 3,000 babies in the
United States including 80
babies in Florida are born
each year with a neural tube
defect, resulting in substantial
emotional and financial impacts
on affected families. "Taking a
multivitamin with 400 micro-
grams of folic acid every day is
such a simple thing to do yet can


return huge benefits with regard
to the health of a mother and her
children," she said.
Bailey and Rampersaud,
along with Gail Kauwell, a pro-
fessor in the food science and
human nutrition department,
oversee the Florida'Folic Acid
Coalition, which is currently sup-
ported by UF/IFAS and the March
of Dimes, Florida Chapter.
The Florida coalition works
closely with the National Council
on Folic Acid in Alexandria, VA.
Other coalition members include
the Florida Department of
Health, the Florida Birth Defects
Registry and the University of
South Florida.
Adriane Griffen, chair of the
national council, said, "Consider-
ing that half of all pregnancies
are unplanned, it is especially
important that all women of
childbearing age take folic acid
daily to help prevent neural tube
.defects even before they are
thinking of becoming pregnant."


She said research shows that
folic acid may reduce the risk of
other birth defects, such as heart
defects, cleft lip and cleft palate,
and may also help reduce the risk
of cardiovascular disease,
Alzheimer's disease, and colon
and breast cancer. Both men and
women may benefit from taking
folic acid to reduce risks for
some chronic diseases.
"We encourage everyone to
take 400 micrograms of folic acid
every day," she said. "The pre-
liminary research findings are
exciting, and we believe that tak-
ing adequate amounts of folic
acid can be beneficial for men
and women of all ages."

folic acid and National Folic Acid
Awareness Week, visit the Web

Be aware of all of your folic acid needs now


TALLAHASSEE The Florida
Department of Health (DOH)
announces National Folic Acid
Awareness Week Jan. 9-15, 2006.
The purpose is to inform Floridi-
ans about the benefits of includ-
ing folic acid in their everyday
food and vitamin consumption.
"Folic acid is a vitamin needed
daily by all men and women,"
said DOH Deputy.Health Secre-
tary Nancy Humbert, M.S.N.,
A.R.N.P. "Including folic acid in
your everyday diet reduces the
risks of certain birth defects in
infants as well as certain dis-
eases."
Folate, the naturally occurring
form of the vitamin, is found in


foods including leafy green veg-
etables, citrus fruits, peanuts,
oatmeal and cereal. It is also
added to some foods or taken as
a folic acid vitamin supplement.
Folate or folic acid is important
for proper growth and develop-
ment that helps the body to
replace cells.
Folic acid may help to reduce
the risks of many diseases and
conditions including:
Coronary heart disease and
stroke;
Certain cancers, such as
colon, breast and cervical can-
cer; and,
Diseases that affect the
brain ormental functions such as


Alzheimer's, dementia and
depression.
Folic acid is especially impor-
tant for women capable of
becoming pregnant. Many
women do not realize that up to
70 percent .of certain birth
defects could be prevented
through adequate consumption
of folic acid. Studies show that
folic acid must be consumed
prior to and in the first few weeks
of pregnancy to reduce the risk of
having a baby with certain birth
defects of the brain and spine,
including spina bifida, the lead-
ing cause of childhood paralysis.
The Florida Folic Acid Coali-
tion suggests the following


amounts of folic acid per day;
e Infants and children (0-13-
years-old: 65-300 mcg
Teenagers (14-18-years-
old):400 mcg
Adults (19-years-old ,or
older): 400 mcg
Pregnant \\omen. 600 mcg
Lactating women: 5(00 mcg
The Florida VitaGrant pro-
gram, an initiative of the March
of Dimes in partnership with
DOH,started in January 2005.
The program seeks to educate
women about folic. acid by pro-
viding free multi-vitamins and
educational materials. Up to
150,000 bottles of free multi-vita-
mins will be distributed yearly


the statewide through 2.007. For
more informarior about the Vita-
Grant project, please contact
Project Manager Elizabeth
Jensen at (850) 245-4465.
DOH protects and promotes
the health and safety of all peo-
ple in Florida through the deliv-
ery of quality public health serv-
ices and the promotion of health
care standards. For more infor-
mation about folic acid, please
visit DOH's Web site at
www.doh.state.fl.us/family/mch/
vg/vg.html. Additional informa-
tion about Florida's Folic Acid
Coalition Web site can be found

More plants for year 2006


Happy New Year! Last week I
introduced a few new plants for
your Florida Yard in 2006. Here
are a few more suggestions for
landscape plants from the Florida
Nursery Growers & Landscapers
Association, our state-wide
organization of professional
growers and landscapers.
FNGLA growers have been
busy producing these plants to
make them available to con-
sumers. If you see something
below, that works for your land-
scape, try contacting a local
FNGLA Inember nursery or gar-
den center that encourages these
high levels of professionalism.
This second group of plants
described today will include
plants that will fit into the land-
scape: a flowering shrub, two
landscape palms and a flowering
vine. 7
Several different species of
shrubs have been named pow-
der-puff. They are named for their
fuzzy puff-ball flower clusters that
come in various shades of red or
pink. They are all members of the
bean family, and are medium to
large in size. Powderpuffs pro-
duce several trunks with low
branches that are covered by
compound leaves that stay green
all year.
The Dwarf Red Powderpuff
(Calliandra emarginata) is a bit
different because of its smaller
size, and can be maintained at
heights as short as three-four feet.
This smaller height can make it
suitable for growing it in contain-
ers. It has brilliant red colored
flowers throughout much of the
warm season. The two-three-
inch round puffballs are actually
flower clusters that occasionally
produce seedpods.
A native of southern Mexico
and Central America, it is well
adapted to our local climate, and
does best in full sun and moist
(but notdamp) soil. Powderpuffs
are reported to be good for


attracting hummingbirds.
If properly placed, it will have
few pest problems. However, in
the spring these shrubs are some-
times visited, but rarely bothered
by, hordes of thorn bugs; which I
wrote about in a column a couple
years ago. (Let me know if you'd
like a copy.)
The Wild Indian Date Palm
(Phoenix sylvestris) is a specimen
plant that screams out "Welcome
to the tropics." With its slightly
curving fronds and bumpy trunk,
it is adding interest to many Flori-
da Yards.
The date palms are known for
their drought tolerance and fairly
slow growth. They are well suited
to Florida conditions if they are
not over-wateied and are provid-
ed with regular applications of
palm fertilizer. The date palms
have the typical diamond-shaped
leaf scars on the trunk of the tree,
and produce feather-shaped
fronds with nasty sharp spines at
the base of these leaves. Most are
single trunked palms, including
the Wild Indian Date Palm.
This Plant of the Year is differ-.
ent from other Date Palms due to
its bloish-green leaf color. As it
matures, a skirt of aerial roots will
be seen at the swollen base of the
trunk. It is reported to be faster
growing that the Canary Island
Date Palm, so it should be a little'
bit less expensive to purchase.
Date plans hybridize easily, so .be
sure of what you are buying.
Also known as' the Toddy
palm; the Wild Date is native to
India and Pakistan. It grows to 40
feet tall and is hardy in most of
Florida. In its native areas, the sap
from the flowers stalks is collect-
ed and boiled down for sugar or
fermented into an alcoholic bev-
erage (toddy).
Florida Thatch Palm (Thrinax
radiata) is a much smaller speci-
men palm and is a Florida natiKe.
It may be found in the coastal
forests of South Florida, Mexico,


Central America, and much of the
northern Caribbean islands.
It is an attractive, medium
sized (to 20 feet) solitary-trunked
fan palm. With a slender, smooth
trunk, the fronds are dark green,
glossy, circular fan-shaped leaves
with drooping leaf tips. (A close
relative is the Key thatch palm,
which has shorter bluish fronds.)
It is well adapted to sunny,
well drained, lime rock based

soil, in the tropics and sub-trop-
ics. Noted for its salt tolerance,
the Thatch Palm may be a bit
more cold-sensitive than some
would like for our area of the
Sunshine State. If you have a
frost-protected area, consider this
slow growing native for your
Florida Yard.
Our final selection for the 2006
Plants of the year is a flowering
vine similar to one known to
northern transplants. Amethyst
Falls Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens
'Amethyst Falls') is a selection
from a North American native'
plant that is a tamer version of its
invasive. Japanese and Chinese
cousins.
Wisteria vines can rapidly
grow to cover trellises or fences,
and through most of the growing
season produce clusters of bril-
liantl3 bluish flowers. 'Amethyst
Falls' has been described as a
miniature version of the Chinese
or Japanese varieties. Its growth
rate is less than the exotic vari-
eties. In a few years it may reach
10 to 15 feet tall, but lacks the
strength to tear do\\ n any wood-
en supports.
It does not appear to produce
seedpods, unlike the exotics that
reseed readily. It has an aromatic
scent that most find attractive, but
some persons say it is musky. The
blooms are attractive to hum-
mingbirds and butterflies. And, a
veryyoung plant will bloom early,
sometimes in the nursery pot,
which is unheard of for either Chi-
nese or Japanese \% isteria.


USDA grants assistance to


avocado producers in Florida


.,.GAINESVILLE The U.S.
Department of Agriculture's For-
eign Agricultural Service approved
a petition filed by avocado produc-
ers in Florida under. the. Trade
Adjustment Assistane ( TAA) for
Farmers program. Producers may
now apply for TAA benefits as of
Jan.3.
Under the TAA program, USDA
provides technical assistance and
cash benefits to farmers and certain
fishermen if imports of a like or
directly competitive commodity
contributed importantly to a
decline in producer prices and a
loss of net farm or fishing income.
After an investigation, FAS deter-


mined that imports of avocados
contributed importantly .to a
decline in avocado producer prices
in Florida. during 2005 when com-
pared to the applicable 1999-2004.
base-period.
Avocado producers who pro-
duced their avocados in Florida
must apply for TAA benefits
between Jan. 3, and April 4. Pro-
ducers may obtain applications
(form FSA-229) on the Internet at
http://forms.sc.egov.usda.gov/efor
ms/mainservlet or from their local
Farm Service Agency (FSA) service
center. Service center locations
may be obtained by checking local
phone listings or by accessing the


Internet at http: wwx-. isa.
usda.gov and clicking on "your
local office." General information
about the TAA program can be
found on the p,'nram's Web site at
http:,',v m w fas.usda.go,...-.'ta ta
a.asp. .
TAA benefits will include free
technical instructions to enhance
farming income. Financial pay-
ments will algo be made to alipli-
cants who complete their technical
training by Sept. 29, and satisfy cer-
tain income criteria. Producers
receiving TAA payments may also
apply to the U.S. Department of
Labor for job retraining.

The strawberry season sure makes for easy pickings


Plant City, Florida, is the "Winter
Strawberry Capital of the World."
From December through February,
Florida strawberries dominate the
U.S. market.
"Our first peak in production is
the first week of January," said Chip
Hinton, president of the Florida
Strawberry Growers' Association.
"We hit another peak the last week
in February and the first week of
March, but by then we're competing
with strawberries from California."
Strawberries are among the
most tender and perishable of fruits,
so the best-tasting ones will proba-
bly be those that have traveled the
fewest miles to our tables. Your
local farmers' market is a great
place to find the very freshest
berries. If you're trying farm-fresh
strawberries for the first time, you'll


be pleasantly surprised at the sweet-
ness and sharpness of the flavor.
But supermarket berries are
tasty, too, especially if shoppers
know what to look for when mak-
ing selections. The biggest berries
aren't necessarily the most flavorful
ones, but color is important. Look
for strawberries that are fully and
deeply red. Don't choose a berry
with white or green spots in hopes
it will ripen up on your windowsill;
strawberries stop ripening as soon
as they are picked.
"Be sure the color has spread
from one end of the berry to the
other. If you can touch the berries,
check to see that they are firm but
not hard. There should be no obvi-
ous mold or bruised spots. The
calyx, the strawberry's leafy cap,
should be fresh and green,"


advised Mr. Hinton.
It's best to eat strawberries on
the same day you buy them. The
sooner you eat them, the sweeter
and firmer theywill be.
"Don't wash strawberries until
you are ready to eat them," Mr. Hin-
ton said. "That's the most impor-
tant thing. You do need to refriger-
ate strawberries if you're storing
them for any time. They're not like
tomatoes, which are destroyed by
refrigeration. Strawberries need to
be refrigerated until you are ready
to use them, preferably in the
closed container they came in."
Florida is the nation's second-
largest producer of strawberries.
The largest is California and the
Plant City/Dover area in East Hills-
borough County is the center of
Florida's strawberry production,


but there is commercial acreage
can also be found in Alachua,
Pasco, and Polk counties as well.
Cash receipts for Florida strawber-
ries average about $129 million
annually.
"The two most common straw-
berry varieties grown in Florida are
Strawberry Festival and Treasure,"
Mr. Hinton said. "Strawberry Festi-
val is a Florida variety developed at
the University of Florida. It's color-
ful and good tasting, and it's medi-
um sized, which means you really
get your money's worth in a
clamshell container because you're
getting more strawberries and less
air. Treasure is also a Florida variety.
It has great taste and color, and it's
ready a little earlier than Strawberry
Festival. The complementary pro-
duction cycle of the two varieties is

good for growers." By growing
both, producers can extend the
strawberry season.
"A longer strawberry season is a
boon to farmers and to con-
sumers," said Florida Agriculture
Commissioner Charles H. Bron-
son. "The strawberry is America's
most popular berry. People know
it's delicious, but the good news is
it is also one of our most nutritious
food choices."
Low in calories and free of sodi-
um and fat, strawberries are
packed with potassium, fiber, folic
acid, and powerful, disease-fight-
ing antioxidants. Ounce for ounce,
they've got more vitamin C than
oranges.
So don't wait for a special occa-
sion to add Florida strawberries to
your shopping list. This winter, take
advantage of the. abundance of
fresh berries by including them in
everything from desserts, breakfast
treats, and snacks to savory dishes.
Slice them over cereal, dip them in
chocolate, mix them into salsas,
toss them into salads, or try one of
these simple, tasty recipes. For
