Did you know that eat-
ing dinner frequently
with your children re-
duces their risk of sub-
stance abuse?
Research by The Na-
tional Center on Addic-
tion and Substance Abuse
(CASA) at Columbia Uni-
versity consistently finds
that the more often chil-
dren eat dinner with their
families; the less likely
they are to smoke, drink
or use drugs. The conver-
sations that go hand-in-
hand with the dinner will
help you learn more
about your children's
lives and better under-
stand the challenges they
face.
CASA created Family
Day -as A Day to Eat Din-
ner with Your Children
in 2001, as a national ef-
fort to promote family
dinners to help reduce
substance abuse among
children and teens.
Family Day emphasizes
the importance of regular
family activities and en-
courages Americans to
make family dinners a
regularfeature of their
lives. Parental engage-
ment is the single most
effective strategy in pre-
venting substance use.
and abuse among youths.
Children and teens
who have frequent family
dinners are at half the
risk for substance abuse
compared to teens who
dine with their families
infiequentlh. They are
less likely to ha\e friends
or classmates who use il-
licit drugs or abuse pre-
scription drugs. They
have lower levels -of. ten-
sion and stress at home.
They are more likely to
-ay their parents are
proud of them and that
they can confide in them
as well. They are likelier
to, get better grades in :

Miss Florida
"Oh, wow, I was really excited to be second
runner-up, but was even more excited with
the preliminary awards," Williams said in a
telephone interview. "I've always looked up
to the top five in Miss Florida as I thought it
was some unachievable goal and have always
believed these women were such classy
ladies," Williams added. Now, Williams, who
could certainly be called a classy lady herself,
is one of those top five.
Williams, a country music singer, is well-
known for her musical performances at many
events and has entered many pageants. She
was featured as one of the opening acts at a
recent Suwannee River Jam and has per-
formed at other Spirit of the Suwannee Music

Woman of the Year in Agriculture
Nominations are now be-
ing accepted for the 2006
"Woman of the Year in
Agriculture" award, which
recognizes women who
have made outstanding con-
tributions to Florida agricul-
ture.
"This award spotlights the
vital role of women in Flori-
da agriculture and serves to
encourage other women to
get involved in the busi-
ness," Bronson said. "Many
women have made signifi-
cant contributions over the
years in developing and sus-
taining this important in-
dustry, which has an overall
economic impact estimated
at more than $87 billion an-
nually."
The Florida Department
of Agriculture and Con-
sumer Services, which spon-
sors the event, has sent nom-
ination forms to agricultural
organizations around the
state. The deadline for sub-
mitting nominations to the
Department is November 1.
Nominations remain active
for two years; after that time
they must be resubmitted in
order to be considered.

Florida ranks second in
nation in vegetable and
horticultural production
If you've eaten a tomato
recently, chances are. it was
grown in Florida. And those
plants decorating your
home and office probably
started life at one of Flori-
da's nurseries. For those
who work in the agriculture
"field," these facts are recog-
nized. But when you ask
Florida citizens about the
value of the state's agricul-
ture industry, most don't
have a carrot of an idea that
Florida ranks second nation-
ally in the production of
fresh vegetables and horti-
cultural products.
"Most Florida citizens
don't realize how these in-
dustries impact their every-
day life," said Joan Dusky,
UF assistant dean. "We
want them to understand
that the Florida ag industry
not only puts safe, afford-
able food on their table, but
also provides a large and
stable economic base and
environmental benefits."
The food and resource
economics department at
UF is conducting research to
demonstrate the total eco-
nomic impact that agricul-
ture and natural resources
have on the state.
"We are looking at all in-
dustry sectors and how they
relate to agriculture and nat-
ural resources," Alan
Hodges, an associate in the
department, said. "Our
model also includes eco-
nomic multipliers for 'spin-
off' economic benefits. For
example, with every ag dol-
lar generated, there can be
up to a $2.50 return in re-
gional economic activity."
Hodges said that non-
market benefits such as
green space, watersheds,
wildlife habitats and
tourism will also be evaluat-
ed.
"About 60 percent of
Florida's land includes
forests," he said. "One thing
we are looking at is how na-
ture-related tourism helps
support the overall econo-
my."
According to the Florida
Agricultural Statistics Ser-
vice, 43,000 commercial
farms cover 10.1 million
acres, approximately one-
third of the state's land
mass. Florida leads national
production in citrus, snap
beans, fresh-market toma-
toes, cucumbers, squash and
sugarcane. The state ranks
second in the production of
greenhouse and nursery
products, sweet corn, pep-
pers and strawberries.

Spiritual
Guidance
By Pastor Doug Hilliard First presbyterian Church of Jasper j
Why me Lord?
Acts 2:42-47 reads,
"They, believers, devoted
themselves to the Apostles'
teaching and to the fellow-
ship, to the breaking of
bread and to prayer. Every-
one was filled with awe,
and many wonders and
miraculous signs were be-
ing done by the apostles.
All the believers were to-
gether and had everything
in common; they gave to
anyone as he had need.
Every day they continued
to meet together they broke
bread in their homes and
ate together with glad and
sincere hearts, praising
God and enjoying the favor
of all the people. And the
Lord added to their num-
ber daily those who were
being saved."
When we participate ful-
ly in God honoring wor-
ship, discipleship, fellow-
ship, ministry and mission,
we are on the way to be-
coming a spiritually
healthy church. Spiritual
. .., '.
health is much more desir-
able than numerical
growth. Gaining new
members is great, but it
takes a healthy church to
experience growth. The
bonus is that healthy con-
gregations do grow.
But there is a price to pay
for church health. The pas-
toi has to want the church
to be healthy, the congrega-
tion has to want spiritual
health, and both need to be
willing to pay the price for
it. The pastor, other church
staff, and lay leaders must
lead and the congregation
must actively minister, be
involved, and be the
church.
One of the great histori-
cal figures of the early
church was John of Anti-
och, also known as John
Chrysostom, which means
"golden mouth," because
he was considered the
greatest preacher of the
early church. It is said he
brought energy and excite-
ment to the pulpit, and his
passion for Jesus was con-
tagious. Today, most peo-
ple don't seem to get very
excited or passionate about
worship. If we could only
get our attention fully onto
Jesus, we could become
healthy and vigorous.
When Jesus is central to a
church's life, it becomes
spiritually healthy, and
spiritually healthy church-
es grow.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
(1879-1969) was one of the
great preachers and hymn-
writers of the church God
of Grace and God of Glory.
Though he died many
years ago, his words are
just as true today. "The
world is moving so fast
these days that the man
who says it can't be done is
generally interrupted by
someone doing it." The
congregations of Hamilton
County not only can, but
will become spiritually
healthy congregations, by
passionately and. vibrantly
acknowledging Jesus is
Lord and at the center of its
life, and fulfilling the Great
Commission and Great
Commandment of Jesus
Christ.
Worship this week in the
church of your choice.

I would like to take this
opportunity to express my.,
sincere gratitude to the
people of Hamilton County
for their continued support
and contributions to the
Muscular Dystrophy Asso-
ciation.
The money that was con-
tributed through the "Fill,
the Boot" campaign will
help our members receive
much needed medical
equipment such as .wheel-
chairs, leg braces and com-
munication devices. The
contributions also help our
families in Hamilton Coun-
ty attend clinics free of
charge at the University of
Florida Shands, Mayo Clin-
.ic of Jacksonville and
Nemours Children's Hos-
pital.
A very special thank you
goes out to the men and
women of Hamilton Coun-
ty fire department. Not
only are they heroes in the
line of duty, but they are
also heroes to our mem-
bers. The Jasper Fire fight-
ers raised an amazing
$1,050. It is because of their
hard work standing on
street corners that MDA is
able to help people with
muscular dystrophy.
So, thank you very much
to the people of Hamilton
County and to the firefight-
ers who 'spent their week-
end, to raise much needed,
money for MDA.

Effective Aug. 1, anyone 16 years or old-
er who was born after May 31, 1975, can
hunt under the supervision of a licensed
hunter who is 21-years or older, without
having to complete the state's hunter safe-
ty certification. The newly established
"Hunter Safety Mentoring Exemption"
enables those persons to purchase a Flori-
da hunting license and hunt during a one-
year trial basis.
The new mentoring exemption was
passed by the F16rida Legislature to help
persuade more people to experience hunt-
ing. It is designed to encourage experi-
enced hunters to teach novice hunters
about safety, ethics, wildlife, hunting.
skills and respect for Florida's outdoors.
Until now, everyone 16 or over who was
born after May 31, 1975, needed to com-
plete the hunter safety requirement before
they were allowed to buy a hunting li-
cense.
"This should be a great incentive for get-
ting more people to give hunting a try,
and hopefully, we can hook some of these
folks on the hunting tradition," said Flori-
da Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission hunter safety coordinator Bill
Cline. "If a novice hunter enjoys .the sport,.
we hope they take the hunter safety course
and continue the experience for years to
come."
SIndividuals taking advantage of this try-
before-you-buy approach would have to
take and pass a hunter safety class to be el-
igible to purchase a hunting license and
hunt the following year.
For more information on the hunter.
safety mentoring exemption call Tony
Young at 850-488-7867.

WC increIases cost of sportsman's licenses
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conserva-
tion Commission (FWC) has increased the
cost of its gold sportsman's license and
sportsman's license by $5 to cover the new
crossbow season permit that was recently
added to the license package.
The gold sportsman's license now costs
$88.50 and includes hunting, saltwater
fishing 'and freshwater fishing licenses;
and management area, archery, crossbow,
muzzleloading gun, turkey, Florida water-
fowl, snook and lobster permits.
The sportsman's license costs $72.50 and
includes hunting and freshwater fishing li-
censes; and management area, archery,
crossbow, muzzleloading gun, turkey and
Florida waterfowl permits.
Hunters who already possess one of
these licenses can hunt on private lands
during the new crossbow season without
having to purchase the $5 crossbow season
permit, if the license does not expire until
after the crossbow season.
These licenses are available for purchase
at tax collectors' offices, license vendors
and at MyFWC.com/license.
Permit required for new crossbow season
A new law has estab-
lished a $5 permit fee for
hunters to participate in
the state's new crossbow
season. The new permit
is similar to the archery
and muzzleloading gun
permits that are required
for those hunting during
the archery and muzzle-
loading gun seasons.
The crossbow season
will run Oct. 23 through
27 in the Central Zone.
Hunters will need to
purchase the crossbow
permit to hunt during
these periods when only
crossbows and bows can
be used.
The new crossbow sea-
son is offered on private
lands only and not avail-
able on any of the state's
wildlife management ar-
eas.
For more information
on the crossbow season
call Tony Young at 850-
488-7867.

It is the time of year when
we begin to feel the first
"hint" of cool in the early
evening and the early morn-
ings. The old sweet gum
trees and little maples in the
"swampy" areas begin to
turn a little, and the golden-
rod and deep purple "deer
tongue" flowers begin their
annual pageantry of gold
and purple heralding the au-
tumn season in silence and
natural majesty. Along with
all this beauty, comes a nat-
ural phenomena to our
north Florida that is not so
beautiful, the love bugs. Yes,
folks, our annual visitors are
here in mass. Don't let them
stick to your automobiles too
long, as they will mess up
your paint job, and keep
your windshield a mess.
Someone asked me not too
long ago that, "if God does
all things well, why does He
send us love bugs-and mos-
quitoes?" My answer to the
person was to make us ap-
preciate! when,,,we didn't
have them, and that ''as the
only answer I had, but I. be-
lieve it was a pretty good
one.
Don't forget that Swift
Creek United Methodist
Church will celebrate Home-
coming on Sunday, Sept. 24,
beginning at 10:30 a.m. with
song and praise service. The
morning worship service
RESTAURANT
GREG BENNETT
will be followed by "dinner
on the grounds". Swift
Creek United Methodist
Church is the second oldest
Protestant Church in the
State of Florida. My appreci-
ation, in advance to Tommy
and Mildred Pound, as well
as Butch and Claire Smith
for all their hard work to
make this event a success.
A letter from the Stephen
Foster Citizens Support Or-
ganization indicated that the
Florida Federation of Music
Clubs will make history this
year at their annual "Jeanie
with the Light Brown Hair"
auditions and ball held on
Friday, Oct. 6, and Saturday,
Oct. 7. This is always an out-
standing event and the old-
est special event held at
Stephen Foster.
It was nice sharing a short
visit with John C. "Buddy"
Camp, on Sunday, Sept. 17,
at the Telford Hotel'in White
Springs., Mr. Camp was
lunching 'with a number of
friends from Lake City in-
cluding MiN and N Mrs-. Gerald
Witt and EF Longof Lake,
City. It was also nice seeing
Marjorie Dedge and Kathy
Dedge Smith of Jasper.
I am so happy to see that
the parking lot at South
Hamilton Elementary (SHE)
has been re-surfaced. Many
thanks to the Hamilton
County Schodl Board for ad-
dressing this much needed

with a good friend. Doris
resided for many years in
White Springs before mov-
ing to Milton to be closer to
her daughter Beulah and
family. Beulah is a guidance
counselor at Rhodes Middle

Jonathan Fountain, practices

two daughters, both of
whom are college graduates.'
Happy Belated Birthday;
wishes to Janet Moses of

proud of her, but we are,
most proud that she is going'
to maintain her presence
here in our beloved White'
Springs. If you are interested'
in arts and crafts with a falP
theme, come down and
browse through Janet's shop,3
or 'do some early Christmas-I
shopping. Last, year, Janet
did a painting of our .oY n ,
Mae Fi:ances '. 'lu hall '- who
is a renowned gospel singer.,.
I bid on the painting during,
the "Earth Day" celebration,
but I was outbidded, and I
know whomever is the for-
tunate recipient of that piece'
of art should cherish it. :..

Quote for the week: "I
firmly promise you that I'll
meet you by the river on the
banks of that 'evergreen
shore. Where our hearts will
never break and our lips will
never quiver and death will
not enter that shore. One by
one, we will see them as they
cross the silent river they
are leaving every minute or
two. So won't you firmly
promise me that you'll meet
me by the river, and I'll:
make you that promise too."

The Pre-K class is busy
having fun learning. We
are working with numbers,
letters, shapes and colors.
We want to thank Ms. Lisa
for the juice and delicious
cupcakes.
Mrs. Selph's Kinder-
garten class is having a re-
ally exciting year. We begin
Saxon Phonics next week
and will be studying the
letter "L 1" all week.
Mrs. William's Kinder-
garten class woked very
hard using guidelines and
rhyming. Our story this
week was "Mice Squeak,
We Speak."
Mrs. Mickler's first
graders have been working
on subtraction in math.
Learning our phonics
sounds make us stronger
readers, so be sure to go
over the daily classwork as
well as homework.
We have started decorat-
ing our classroom for fall as
we are eagerly awaiting
cooler weather. I hope
everyone read your infor-
mation letter about the
scarecrow models. I hope
to see lots of scarecrows in-
vade our school. After the
voting is over, we will use
them to decorate, the
school.
Mrs. Scott's second
graders have been working,
hard in science by classify-
ing living, nonliving and
once-living things..
Please remember to read
nightly and review high
frequency word lists. Keep
up the good work.
Mrs. Adams' third grade
class has been enjoying'
their math. explorations.
We've sorted, classified,
compared and combined
all sorts of data from our
classroom. Then we
graphed, charted and ana-
lyzed our data. We never
knew math was so much
fun.
Our reading stories have
been very interesting and
we enjoy taking reading
tests on the computer. We
also love going to the com-
puter lab and working on
improving all our skills.
We'd like to welcome
back Gary Miller. He has
been with us before and we
are very happy to have him
return.
Our student of the week
is Jristin Smith. Jristin is a
great help to everyone. He
is.always happy to do any
task, and especially loves to
help Mrs. Fouraker. He en-
joys reading, math and mu-'
sic.
Mrs. Howell's fourth
grade class would like to
wish DeAndre Graves and
Danajia Williams a happy
birthday on Sept. 14.
Thanks to Timberly Ste-
ichen's mom and Trenton
Stormant's mom for attend-
ing PTO on Monday, Sept
11, '
Fifth grade students are
all prepared to .make rock
crystals the week of Sept.
18. This will be an interest-
ing experiment to test stu-
dent ability to follow direc-
tions. Mr. Daniels is also
preparing them to make
fertile soil to grow a plant
of each group's choosing.
'Congratulations to Jas-
mine Taylor, Conner Hall
and Lance Grinner for their
excellent reading the first
few weeks of. school.. The,
class is also preparing state
reports to inform other stu-
dents about various states
in the.

The sixth grade class
planted salvia and pentas
in the flower box out front
of the school The flowers
were provided by the Main
Street Beautification Com-
mittee. Thanks to all who
made this project possible.
A lot of good things are
happening at SHE in the
classroom and around the
campus. We will be getting
some much needed paving
completed in the near fu-
ture and a fresh sealant will
be applied to the rest of the
pavement. Hopefully, it
will not be much longer be-
fore some progress begins
on the roof and associated
structures. I believe .that
these improvements will
better our attitudes and
perhaps instill more pride
in our school and commu-
nity.
Once again we owe a
debt of gratitude to the
Hamilton County Health
Department (HCHD). Mrs.
Sharon Gay announced re-
cently that the HCHD
would be purchasing some
more playground equip-
ment for SHE. A ten-foot
slide and a climber will be
added to our playground.
SHE thanks Mrs. Gay and
the HCHD for their gen-
erosity and concern for the
safety .of our students.
We have some new faces
on the SHE campus. First,
is Betty Kelly, who is con-
tracted to provide Library-
Media services to SHE and
on Sept. 21, Frankie Mathis
will come on board as the
school, nurse. We welcome
these people into our fami-
ly and we hope that you
will do the same. Mrs. Kel-
ly is a retired Library Me-
dia Specialist with thirty-
eight years of service. Prior-
to her retirement, she
worked in the Columbia
County .school system. She
received her B.A. and M. A.
from.Florida A&M Univer-
sity. Mrs. Kelly is married
to Narvell Kelly and has
one daughter, Narvette,,
who teaches in the Atlanta
area. She is active in her
church, New Bethel Mis-
sionary Baptist, and enjoys
reading and viewing mys-
teries.

and we solicit your support
for this organization. The

The Advent Christian
Village will begin its 19th
annual Live At Dowling
Park Artist Series on Fri-
day, Sept. 22, in Phillips
Dining Room with a pro-
gram at 7 p.m. by Chief
Bobby Johns Bearheart,
leader of the Perdido Bay
Tribe of the Lower
Muscogee Creek Indians.
The program will be pre-
ceded by a selection of
Muscogee foods from 4:30
p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Micco (Muscogee Indi-
an word for "Chief"),
Bearheart grew up in rur-
al Georgia in the 1930s
and 40s with Creek Indian
parents and tribal elders
who instilled the Indian
ways into him during his
youth.
While living in rural
Georgia, Chief Bearheart
established a career as an
artisan, "first with the tra-
ditional arts and crafts
that were once necessary
for survival," he explains,
"and then on to the design
of more sophisticated art
forms." His designs are
based on his memories
and interpretation of the
Indian way and can be
seen online at www.per-
didobaytribe.org/ gallery
1.html.
Today, Chief Bearheart
enjoys teaching children
the ways of. the Indian.
Before he leaves them, his
final words are, "We must
never stop dancing. Keep
the old ways alive with a
strong voice."
Ticket prices are as fol-
lows: ACV Members: $10,
Adults: $15, Students
(ages 13-18): $5, and Chil-
dren (ages 5-12): $5. Tick-
ets are available at the
ACV Cashier's Office, in
Live Oak at The Music
Center and the Suwannee
County Chamber of Com-
merce. Tickets may also
be purchased at the door
on the evening of the con-
cert.
non't forget your trees
Florida's landscape has
changed dramatically in
many areas and been seri-
ously scarred in others fol-
lowing recent hurricane sea-
sons. Alberto's arrival in the
first week of June served as
an early reminder that even
a relatively small storm has
the ability to bring down
trees and cause damage to
personal property.
At the end of the 2004 and
2005 hurricane seasons,
damaged trees littered the
state from Miami to Pen-
sacola. While devastated
landscapes are the most vis-
ible and longest lasting ef-
fect of a hurricane, many
Floridians are unaware of
storm preparation tactics
for their yards and proper-
ty.
"The Division of Forestry
Chief Bearheart to speak about
his Muscogee life ways
has a lot to offer Floridians
before and after hurri-
canes," said Mike Long,
DOF Director. "From
preparation and planning
to recovery and restoration,
our foresters along with
County Extension Offices
across the state are an im-
portant resource to the com-
munities they serve."
After each hurricane sea-
son the impact on Florida's
urban landscape is clearly
visible. Tree damage
ranges from being stripped
of leaves and leaning to ma-
jor structural damage. This
has prompted many Florid-
ians to remove trees from
their yards. But this may
not be the best decision for
the homeowner.
"Properly planted and
pruned trees can offer im-
portant wind breaks in
communities and have the
potential to reduce wind
damage," said Charlie Mar-
cus, Urban Forester. "In ad-
dition, studies show that
trees properly placed
around buildings can re-

The success of
hurricane
recovery is up
to you -
prepare now for
the safety of
your family
by Scott R. Morris
Director, Florida
Long-Term Recovery
Federal Emergency
Management Agency
Last year, our nation ex-
perienced one of the most
destructive hurricane sea-
sons ever as hurricanes
ripped through the Gulf
Coast states, forcing the
evacuation of millions,
and leaving thousands
without power, many
without homes, and caus-
ing billions upon billions
of dollars in damage.
Florida was no exception.
In fact, .the effect of the
2005 storms was greatly
magnified as Floridians
still worked to recover
from, the devastation of
the 2004 hurricane season.
The serious* level of de-
struction from the 2004
and 2005 storms is.a clear
signal for all of us to take
action'to prepare for the.
2006 hurricane season. I
urge everyone to take the
inititiive now. Prepare
yourself and your family
for the next hurricane. It
could be just around., the
corner. Practice the three
steps, of disaster pre-
paredness make a plan,
make a kit and get in-
formed.
.Make an emergency
plan so you know exactly
what steps to take if you
need to evacuate: where
to go, what to do with
pets and how to meet up
with family members 'if
you need to leave quickly.
Every home should have a
disaster supply kit with a
battery-powered radio,
new batteries, enough
food and water to supply
your family for 72 hours,
and any necessary med-
ications. (The Web sites
www.Ready.gov and
'www.FloridaDisaster.org
are wonderful sources of
information for disaster
planning and preparing
your supply kit.)
It is also vital to stay in-
formed during a storm.
Listen to the radio or TV
newscasts before and dur-
ing an evacuation and fol-
low reports on the weath-
er conditions irt your area.
In the coming weeks, look
for further information
and reminders regarding
all aspects of hurricane
and disaster preparedness
from FEMA, state and lo-
cal disaster officials.
As individuals do their
part to prepare for the up-
coming hurricane season,
FEMA is also doing its
part by hitting the Florida
roads. Disaster recovery
program managers from

covery Office in Florida

October is Seafood Month- eaed w /
Hallelujah! October is near and with it comes cooler tem-
peratures that just seem to add a little extra bounce to our
steps. It is a good month to focus on your health by in-
creasing exercise while enjoying the fresh air during fre-
quent walks and eating healthier. The USDA Dietary
Guidelines provide recommendations for a proper balance
of a variety of foods. For protein sources, the USDA infor-
mation touts the benefits of including fish and seafood two
to three times each week in meal plans. Since October is
National Seafood Month, it is a good time to kick off this
healthy seafood habit while supporting ap important Flori-
da industry.
Seafood is an important part of our state's heritage and
economy. Florida is a source of excellent seafood, aquacul-
ture and marine life products. Florida's fishermen harvest
98 different species on a commercial scale with 2005 cash
receipts totaling more than $165 million. Florida aquacul-
ture producers farm a vast array of products with sales to-
taling $95.5 million in 2003. Tropical fish, aquatic plants
and clams are the top three aquaculture operations. Florida
seafood and aquaculture has an economic impact estimated
at more than $1.3 billion annually.
"Seafood can be an excellent part of a healthy and bal-
anced diet," Florida Department of Agriculture and Con-
sumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson said.
"There are many reasons to incorporate Florida seafood in
your meal plan several times a week." He explained, "It

just makes sense. It is a low-fat protein source with many
nutrients."
Seafood is widely known for its omega-3 fatty acid prop-
erties. Many organizations support the benefits of its fre-
quent consumption. According to the American Heart Asso-
ciation, omega-3 fatty acids can benefit individuals with
healthy. hearts as well as those who have heart disease. The
United States Department of Agriculture's www.mypyra-
mid.gov Web site indicates that there is evidence that eat-
ing fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risks of
cardiovascular disease. A four year study funded by the Na-
tional Institutes of Health,
found that citizens 65 and
older who eat fish at least
once a week have a 60 per-
c~ent lower risk of dementia,
including Alzheimer's dis-
ease.

Z breaking the budget.
.o Buy Florida fish in fresh
0 filet or steak form for quick
preparation. Filets are nor-
mally bone-free and steaks are usually cut into serving
sizes, making the prep time a snap. You can grill, broil,
poach or bake with your favorite seasoning. Serve as entree
for your evening meal or flake into a salad for lunch.
Try different sizes of Florida shrimp and use for different
appetizers or in main courses. Shrimp can simply be sea-
soned with garlic, lemon or other spices and broiled.
Prepare grilled kabobs that include your favorite veggies
and Florida seafood. Serve with rice pilaf and/or whole
wheat rolls for a complete healthy meal.
Florida oysters are abundant in fall and can be steamed,
grilled, baked or broiled. They can be purchased both
shucked and in the shell at your local market.
Tacos make a quick supper. Try using Florida fish,
shrimp or crab in them.

seafood dishes that are a little more elaborate, visit the
