Lafayette County Division of
Forestry officials were perform-
ing a prescribed controlled
burn of approximately 150
acres in Mallory Swamp last


week.
According to the Suwannee
River Water Management Dis-
trict, the controlled burn is part
of a large, extensive effort to
nurture Mallory Swamp to-
ward a full recovery from the
devastating wildfire in 2001.
During the weekend, the fire


broke containment lines and
quickly grew to 900 acres, say
forestry officials. As they at-
tempted to bring the fire under
control, the winds changed di-
rection and the fire exploded to
approximately 1,400 acres.

"Don't get mad, get
even." A popular idea no
doubt, but how well does
this concept work and
what does it really accom-
plish when it comes to our
relationships? At first
glance, we like this saying
because it gives us the illu-
sion that we are in control
of a painful situation. In
reality, by not communi-
cating with someone who
has offended us, we oper-
ate on the assumption that
q


his or her offense was in-
tentional. We believe they
actually meant us harm.
Think about times when
you discovered that you
had hurt someone's feel-
ings or offended them,
you were probably sur-
prised because rarely is it
our motive to do so. More
often we hurt other people
as a result of an uninten-
tional action or an un-
planned or thoughtless
comment. I believe this is

the case in the majority of
offenses, and based on
that, getting even would
be anything but. You can't
arrive at even by adding
an unintentional offense to
a well-planned retaliation.
Unfortunately, revenge
usually leads to a retalia-
tion of its own and the vi-
cious payback cycle con-
tinues. This very often
brings death to many rela-
tionships, friendships and
marriages.
In the book of Romans
12:17,19-20, the Bible ad-
dresses this issue: "Do not
repay evil for evil. Do not
take revenge, my friends,
but leave room for God's
wrath, for it is written: "It
. is mine to avenge; I will re-
pay," says the Lord. On
the contrary: "If your ene-
my is hungry, feed him; if
he is thirsty, give him
something to drink. In do-
ing this, you will heap
burning coals on his
head."
According to this verse,
we are not to "get even" by
repaying evil for evil.
Only God knows the in-
tentions of a person's
heart, so maybe that's a
good reason to leave the
avenging up to him. In the
original Greek language of
the New Testament, the
word avenge actually
means to get justice. God
is the only One qualified to
judge a heart and pro-
nounce a just, unpreju-
diced sentence.
The last part of this pas-
sage is most interesting, so
before you go planning to
put hot coals on someone's
head let's understand


By '
Angie i
Land:

what this refers to. Ac-
cording to an ancient
Egyptian tradition, a per-
son desiring to exhibit a
public display of repen-
tance would carry a pan of
burning charcoal on their
head. By referring to this
practice, the apostle Paul is
saying that we should
treat those who have of-
fended us or caused us
pain with kindness. By
doing so, it is more likely
they will become ashamed
of the way they treated
you, repent, and change
their ways. That would be
a much more productive
way of restoring a relation-
ship and if their offense
was unintentional, you
haven't caused a much
bigger one. So, if you start
plotting revenge, remem-
ber that it's best to leave
that up to God. The peo-
ple that we love are worth
this effort and so are our
own hearts because they
matter.
Blessings, Angie

PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS

March 1st is the deadline for application of
Property Tax Exemptions.
Anytime there is a change in ownership of property, a new exemption application must
be completed in order to receive an exemption.
Homestead Exemption Widow or Widower Exemption Total and Permanent Disability
Exemptions Service Connected Disability Exemptions Agricultural Classification of
Lands
ADDITIONAL $10,000.00 Exemption for Senior Citizens. {must meet Income
Requirements }
AMENDMENT 1 was passed by Florida Voters on Jan. 29, 2008. Below is some current
information on the implementation of Amendment 1. Some things could change regarding
implementation during the 2008 legislative session.
Additional Homestead Exemption Will be applied with No additional application
necessary.

Portability If you had a homestead tax exemption for 2007 in another county or within the
county and have moved and you plan to apply for the Homestead Tax Exemption on your
new location in Lafayette County you may have some assessed value savings created by
Save Our Homes that you can transfer from your prior location to your new location that
could save you tax dollars. Portability is only retroactive back to you having a prior
homestead in 2007.
TO RECEIVE PORTABILITY THERE IS AN APPLICATION THAT MUST BE
COMPLETED. Portability does NOT automatically happen.
Tangible Personal Property Tax Exemption All businesses and farms must complete a
tangible personal property tax return for 2008 and the $25,000.00 exemption will be
applied. For 2009, if your equipment value is less than $25,000.00 then you will not need to
complete a return, but will rather simply sign a form stating that your equipment value total
is less than $25,000.00. If you add equipment and the total value again exceeds $25,000.00
then you will again file a return the following year. All New Businesses niust file a return
the first year even though the equipment total may be less than $25,000.00.

10% Cap on Non-Homestead Property This cap does not take effect until 2009.
APPLICATION will have to be made to receive the 10% Cap. Like portability, this cap will
NOT automatically happen.
Please come by the Property Appraiser's Office to make application or call us if you have
any questions at 386-294-1991.

PA(~F dA .- THE MAYO FREE PRESS. Mayo. FL THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2008


There has been much at-
tention given lately on our
nation's current "credit cri-
sis." As a country and as
individual citizens, we are
experiencing overwhelm-
ing debt. At Three Rivers
Legal Services (TRLS), we
receive many questions
from coAcerned citizens re-
garding debt, debt collec-
tion practices and other
such issues. This article
will address the topic of
what happens to personal
debt when a person dies?
When moneys are bor-
rowed the loan is either se-
cured or unsecured. The
classic examples of a se-
cured debt are a car and a
home. Everyone knows
that if you don't make your
car payments the creditor
will likely repossess the
car. If you don't make a
mortgage payment, the
mortgage holder will likely
foreclose on the property.
An Unsecured loan is one
where there is no security
for the loan. The classic ex-
ample of an unsecured
loan is a credit card debt,
like Visa and Master Card,

but it would include debts
to department stores, gaso-
line cards and other such
things. This article will fo-
cus on situations where
there is no collateral secur-
ing the loan.
For unsecured debts,
since there is no specific
item for creditors to repos-
sess or take from the
debtors, the only source for
collecting the moneys
owed would be from the
deceased's estate, after
burial expenses, taxes and
other fees are paid, if there
is any money left over.
Some frequently asked
questions include the fol-
lowing:
Does the surviving
spouse owe the debts of
the deceased? Reportedly,
creditors are telling wid-
ows and widowers that
they are responsible for
their spouses' debts. We at
TRLS are of the opinion
that unless that surviving
spouse SIGNED a contract
or otherwise made them-
selves responsible for a
debt in some other fashion,
the surviving spouse is

NOT responsible for debts
of the deceased.
What happens if the per-
son dies while the lawsuit
is pending? When a party
to an action dies, unless a
person is substituted in the
lawsuit in his or her place,
within 90 days after the
court is informed of the
death, the case should be
dismissed as to the de-
ceased party.
What if the person dies
before a judgment has been
obtained and before a law-
suit has been instituted
upon a unsecured debt and
no probate estate has been
opened? The answer is that
a creditor must sue the de-
ceased debtor by serving a
personal representative of
the debtor. Florida Statute
733.710, entitled "Limita-
tions on claims against es-
tates, provides that an ac-
tion cannot be instituted
against a deceased person
or his estate more than two
years after death.
* Generally speaking, the
collection of unsecured
debts from a deceased per-
son is problematic for cred-
itors, but it can be done; a


surviving spouse is NOT
responsible for the debts of
the deceased spouse; and
NO claims can be made
against a deceased person
or his estate two years after
death.
The foregoing is provid-
ed by the lawyers at Three
Rivers Legal Services, Inc.,
a non-profit corporation
which receives funds from
various local agencies and
individuals, as well as
from the federal govern-
ment through Legal Ser-
vices Corporation (LSC).
For specific advice on your
particular situation, we
suggest that you consult
with a lawyer of your
choosing. If you cannot af-
ford a lawyer, you may call
your local legal services of-
fice to find out if you qual-
ify for free legal assistance.

Aid and Attendance, a program en-
acted by Congress in 1951 to provide
wartime veterans and their spouses
with funding for nursing homes. Pro-
vided by the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), the program expanded
in 2003 to also cover the costs of home
health care and assisted living.
There are four eligibility require-
ments to receive pensions from Aid
and Attendance.
The first, service, requires a veteran
or his or her spouse to have served in
the U.S. Armed Forces for at least 90
days, and at least one of those days
must have been during a time of war.
Service is the most difficult require-
ment to prove, especially for Vietnam
veterans, because many reservists
were called to active duty for training,
not active duty for fighting.
While there was never officially a
Korean War for the United States the
department treats the police action
there beginning in 1950 as a war.
"We all know it was a war, so it's
considered a war."
The second requirement, health, de-
pends on a factor called acts of daily
living, or ADLs. In order to qualify, a
person must be unable to perform at
least one ADL without assistance.
These are actions that most people
need to perform every day and don't
even think about, including getting
out of bed, getting dressed, using the
bathroom, preparing and eating
meals, remembering to take medica-
tions on schedule and walking with a
steady gait.
An ADL must be documented by a
medical doctor to qualify, but the per-
son providing the care does not need
to be a certified medical worker.
For example, if a veteran needs as-
sistance remembering when to take
which medication, a next-door-neigh-
bor can qualify as the caregiver as
long as the neighbor receives payment
for the service.
The third requirement, Income for.
VA Purposes (IVAP), de-
termine how much fund-
ing a recipient is eligible v
to receive.
The amount is' calcu-
lated by taking a per- Feb.A


son's income includ-
ing Social Security,
pensions and dividends- -
- then subtracting as- .
sisted living bills, home .
care bills of a medical
service nature and co-
pays on doctor's visits Carlton Black,
and prescription drugs. Lafayette
If a qualified person's County
income is less than his Veterans
or her unreimbursed Service officer
medical expenses, the
department pays the maximum applic-
able pension rate.
The monthly maximum for a single
(never married or widowed) veteran is
$1,554 per month, for a married veter-
an it is,$1,842, for a surviving spouse
it is .9*8 and for the spouse of a living
veteran it is $1,219.
Finally, the fourth requirement, as-
sets, requires that a recipient's total as-
sets fall under a number that is differ-
ent for each person and is determined
by factoring in a person's age, health,
bills and income and establishing how
much money that person can reason-
ably be expected to contribute to his
or her own health care.
Anything a person owns other than
a home, car or ordinary possessions
counts .as assets, but if a person owns
a home and doesn't live there, it is an
asset. Bank accounts, certificates of de-
posit, annuities, 401K funds, stocks,
bonds and brokerage accounts are all
assets as well.
There is a misconception in some
circles that a person's assets must total
less than $80,000 to qualify for this
service.

one was invited to Mr.
and Mrs. Stanley Ash's
home to watch the grind-
ing, cooking and bottling
process.
Just as they arrived,
Mrs. Ash quickly directed
us around back to observe
the syrup cooking in the
black kettle. Mr. Ash had
been cooking since early
morning and it was al-
most time to turn off the
heat (the kids later found
out that in the past the
syrup was cooked over an
open fire which took
longer). However, every-
one did get to taste the
"polcat" candy that cooks
to the top (some enjoyed
it so much they were able

Hwy. 90 West, Lake City 6
386-758-6171 1-800-358-8482 ,


to go back and try it
again).
Next, Mr. Ash began
dipping up the syrup
with a big pot attached to
a long handle. It was
scooped up and poured
into a pot with a spout so
that he could begin
putting the syrup into
bottles.
After watching the bot-
tling process, the first
grade scientists enjoyed a
picnic lunch. After lunch,
the students were able to
watch Mr. Ash prepare
for his next round of mak-
ing cane syrup. The kids
watched as the cane was
squeezed by a machine,
and the juice ran into a
large barrel. The children
were then able to taste

this freshly, squeezed
juice. Some liked the
taste, some did not.
The students were then
taught how to make
homemade butter. The
students shook glass jars
full of whipping cream,
until it hardened. They
were able to see how a
liquid became a solid.
This butter tasted yummy
on the hot biscuits Mrs.
Ash prepared for us.
Thank you Mr. and
Mrs. Ash for allowing the
First Grade Scientists to
visit your home and
watch the cane syrup
making process. We also
would like to say thank
you for our own little bot-
tle of syrup. What a spe-
cial treat!

Arrest

check case

targeting at least ten busi-
nesses in Columbia
County.
According to authori-
ties, Conti is suspected of
stealing checks from local
businesses' mailboxes in
Suwannee County and
duplicating the account
numbers and routing
numbers on checks he
created. Shaw said Conti
is suspected of writing
the fraudulent checks to
himself and cashing them
at area convenience
stores.
The arrest of Conti led
to the discovery of the
identity of two other sus-
pects allegedly working
with Conti. Charges have
.not been filed yet but the
two are in the Columbia
County Jail on unrelated
charges.
Conti's operation was
elaborate, according to "
officials. A computer and
computer software to
make and print checks
were found at the Gum
Swamp Road residence
where Conti was arrest-
ed, records indicate. Po-
lice say several stolen
checks were found at the
residence, and a counter-
feit check for more than
$700 made out to Conti
were found on him at the
time of the arrest.
Officials say counterfeit
check cashers work in
cells, with elaborate sys-
tems involving comput-
ers and software to print
fraudulent checks.
"Printers" print the
checks, and "passers" take
the checks to stores and
cash them. The passers
are often homeless peo-
ple paid to cash the
checks.
An unsuspecting busi-
ness might not learn until
notified by the bank that
the check is fraudulent.
Police say check coun-
terfeiters are starting to
become a big problem in
the area. He said it is
hard to catch the sus-
pects, however, noting
that even though check
cashing businesses follow
the law and get driver's
license information from
the passer, when officials
run the license it is either
stolen of fake.
The operators travel
around with their equip-
ment and work out of ho-
tels, homes and some-
times their vehicles.

Senior Chad Hempstead added.yet
another award to his already numer-
ous winnings, being named recepient
of the Golden Helmet Award at the
Lafayette Hornets football banquet
last week. School Superintendent
Fred Ward presented Hempstead
with the prestigious trophy.
Hempstead, who says he has a cou-
ple of offers to attend college this fall,
was a three year starter at quarter-
back for Joey Pearson's Hornets. He
spoke of his future. "I am going
through the decision process right
now as to which school to attend," he
said. "That is where I am right now,
just trying to figure it all out."


Hempstead is a three time all-stater
as well as a three time all-area player.
He totaled 1,666 yards passing in his
three seasons and passed for 25
touchdowns. In the three years he
carried a 2.6 grade point average.
Hempstead was selected by the Hor-
net coaching staff for his all-around
performance both on and off the field
as well as in the classroom.
Hempstead has received scholar-
ship offers from North Greenville
University, Union and a school from
Defiance, Ohio. Hempstead said after
four years at Lafayette leaving is not
an easy thing. "It is very tough leav-

The Lafayette High
School Athletic Depart-
ment took time out from a
: busy basketball season
and honored this past sea-
son's football players and
cheerleaders during their
annual banquet. In front
of a large gathering of
family and friends, the
school honored all the
teams as well as handed
out some individual
awards as well.
Senior Chad Hemp-
stead took home several
awards but the big one
was the Golden Helmet
Award for outstanding
accomplishments, not
only on the gridiron but
in the classroom as well.
School Superintendent
Fred Ward presented the
prestigious award to -
Hempstead.
Coach Joey Pearson
spoke of his team's hard
work during the past sea-
son and their accomplish-
ments as a team. "It was a
great year for us. Our ju-
nior varsity team showed
improvement over the
year and they are work-
ing hard," he said. "Long
term, the future looks
good for Hornet football."
Coach Pearson just
completed his ninth sea-
son as the Hornets head
coach. He told those in at-
tendance of the blessings
S of being associated with
both the school and team.
"I am blessed to be here as
your football coach," he
said. "I am fortunate to
have the facilities we have
and a great group of vol-
unteers."
The Hornet coach rec-
ognized the contributions
of both Andy Hart and
band director Dale Croft.
"Andy keeps the crowd
fired up and Mr. Croft's
band is entertaining."

The Lafayette Hornets
basketball team saw a
nine point third quarter
lead disappear in dis-
trict tournament action
last week and could
only watch as the
Hawthorne Hornets
eliminated Lafayette
from competition in a
semi-final game.
Lafayette fell 79-63 in a
game closer than the fi-
nal score would indi-
cate.
Two costly turnovers
with just over 30 sec-
onds to play in the peri-
od proved costly in let-
ting Hawthorne gain
the momentum going
into the fourth period.
Hawthorne converted
both turnovers into
points to narrow the
Hornet lead to 53-48. It
got uglier. Lafayette
turned the ball over on
their first three posses-
sions of the fourth quar-T
ter with Hawthorne
scoring on two of the-
miscues to pull within
two points, 53-51.
With 5:43 to play in
the game Hawthorne
took their first lead on a
three-point basket by


Rodence Goggins. After
Lafayette regained the
lead at 59-58 on a three-
point basket by Eric
McIntyre, 58-56,
Hawthorne grabbed the
lead for good on a trey
by Jimmy Johnson.
Lafayette could only '
score one field goaLn-'w
over the final five min-
utes of the period, that
came on a rebound bas-
ket by Sergio Perez.
Hawthorne pulled
away in securing the
win and advancing to
the tournament's cham-
pionship round.
Lafayette built a sev-
en point advantage, 21-
14, at the first stop be-
hind the play of
Jonathan Edwards. Ed-
wards scored 11 of his
game high 20 points in
the first period. The
Hornets struggled of-
fensively in the second
period with only two
field goals, a three-point
basket by McIntyre and
a lay-iri by Antwan
Brown. The Hornets led.
28-24 at the half.

the third period, the

Turpentine


O.A. Winburn, Jr.
ScrubHammock@aol.com
At one time, after my
daddy started out in the
feed and fertilizer busi-
ness, having relinquished
ownership of the hard-
ware store that he found-
ed with his father, he sold
eggs that he bought in the
store in large quantities to
the turpentine folks to be
resold at their commis-
sary. Mr. Crapps was one
of those and the eggs were
delivered to the commis-
sary at Hines. I remember
that commissary building
was quite large with a
wide array of things for
sale to the workers who
used those Babbitt tokens
to make a purchase. The
company money was
common practice among
all the companies and the
workers were paid with it
so that they could only
spend it at the commis-
sary. There is quite a lot to
be said about this system
but I won't get into that
any further.
Lafayette County also
had many individual tree
farmers who harvested
the pine sap on their own
stands of pine timber but I
don't know of any indi-
viduals who had their
own still. I will say that
my granddaddy Friar
over in Alachua County at
Hawthorne was one that
did own a still. He har-
vested the gum from his
own timber and also ran
his own turpentine still.
He had a sizeable tract of
pine timber and houses
for his workers as well as
a commissary. I some-
times call upon my mem-
ories of this as I pass

through Hawthorne,
where on the North edge
of town his timberland
bordered on US 301 on the
east and west side and the
still, commissary and em-
ployee house sat on the
west side. Some of this
property now is the site of
commercial development.
Subdivisions and even a
restaurant and bingo hall
can be seen near the high-
way and I believe there is
now a dairy farm on part
of it. All in the name of
progress, I suppose.
Some of those in
Lafayette County who
were producers of turpen-
tine were quite small as
compared to the big com-
panies but some were
quite large and one of
those was owned by the
Howell's around Hatch
Bend. The Howell's
owned a large tract of tim-
berland that lay conve-
niently close to the
Suwannee River which
provided for the means to
transport their product to
market. Steamboats plied
the river at one time and
would stop and take on a
payload after making their
run upriver with the
goods that they bartered
or sold. The boats re-
turned to Cedar Key with
their pay load of naval
stores where other means
of transport were avail-
able to move it to it's in-
tended destination as
Cedar Key was a well
known hub for both rail
and sea transport at one
time.
I had the good fortune
of spending a few mo-
ments recently with Em-
mit Howell as was leav-
ing the nearby home of
his brother-in-law, Louis
Sessions and wife Cather-
ine. Emmit once lived at
Hatch Bend and had at-
tended school in Mayo, I
was'curious as to his own
family's involvement in
the Howell enterprise
there and my understand-
ing after that brief meet-
ing was that his father had
died early on and that he

had no knowledge of any
residual assets pertaining
to that enterprise.
I did ask Emmit about
his relationship to Felder
Howell and I believe he
said he may have been an
uncle, not certain of that.
My recollection of Felder
Howell has an interesting
side and it involves the
politics in Lafayette Coun-
ty.
Back in the late 30s or
early 40s Mr. Howell
served as this counties
representative to the State
Legislature. The way that
came about is what makes
it interesting.
Mr. George Simpson
and his wife had moved
into Mayo from Alton and
went into the restaurant
business in the old Ab Fol-
som Gulf Station building.
They were past middle
age by that time but that
didn't have a cooling ef-
fect on Mr. Simpson's pro-
clivity to be involved in
local politics. He had been
an unsuccessful candidate
at least a time or two and
now had entered the race
to be our next member of
the House of Representa-
tives.
After the primary was
over, Mr. Simpson had the
most votes and it ap-
peared that he would be
going to Tallahassee in the
spring to represent
Lafayette County since
there were no Republican
candidates in the county
at that time. Of course
there were some who
viewed this as unaccept-
able, citing Mr. Simpson's
lack of education and his
being deficient in-other ar-
eas that they considered
crucial for this important
office.
And so, this group went
to Mr. Felder Howell and
sought to have him run in
the general election as a
write in candidate. Appar-
ently Mr. Howell reluc-
tantly agreed and he was
elected in the general elec-
tion and served capably
during his two year term.
Enough said about that...

the state semi-finals in
the playoffs. "We an-
swered the question of
"Mayo Who!," said Pear-
son. "It was a game we
had to win. It was a lot of
excitement.
The team offensive
award went to running
back Eric McIntyre who
rushed for over 4,200
yards while playing for
the Hornets. Thomas
Byrd, who finished his
career at Lafayette, had
122 tackles in winning
the defensive award.
Athletic Director Mike
Harris presented Nathan


BrOCK with trie orrensive
lineman award while J.D.
Richardson received the
defensive lineman
plaque. Richardson had
81 tackles this season and
12 went for losses. One
award was handed out to
the teams lone freshman,
Alex Greshem.
Coach Derrick Garland
recognized Kristopher
Pearson with an award
for his 117 tackles and
being named to the all-
state team for the second
time. Kyle Pearson, who
had 116 tackles, also was
honored at the banquet.
Coach Mark Beach pre-
sented an award to re-


ceiver jarnal Reid f or his
brilliant season. Reid had
42 catches for the season
and 15 went for touch-
downs. Matt Milton also
received recognition for
his 31 catches and six
touchdowns.
Sonya Koon presented
awards to the football
cheerleaders and their
contribution to the just
completed season.
The junior varsity team
was recognized by JV
coach Jimmy Blanken-
ship. Willie Smith re-
ceived the best defensive
award while the best of-
fensive award went to

was, you just sit back and think does it
get any better than this," he said. "You
hate to leave a situation where year in
and year out you are one of the top
programs in the state. I definitely am
going to miss it."
The former Hornet quarterback had
praise for the coaching staff at
Lafayette saying, "it is a great place to
be." "It is just great to be a football
player here," he said. "The coaching
staff here are a class act. All the coach-
es, all the people behind the scenes
makes it a great place to be."
The "togetherness" the 2008 edition
of Hornet football proved to be a "fam-
ily affair" according to Hempstead. "I
don't know how long it has been but I
think we (seniors) have been playing
football together since the fourth
grade. From Pee Wee to junior varsity
to varsity. Basically, our senior class
has been here since kindergarten. You
just can't throw a group together like
we had this year. It is like we are all
brothers. We are more than just foot-


ball players, more than just teammates.
It is really about who you are and who
you love."
Is there life beyond football? Hemp-
stead is still in the thinking stages as
to what he wants to do with his life af-
ter football. But he has some ideas on
the subject. "I may look at getting into
Sports Management, business or com-
munications," he said. "i am trying to
figure it all out."
Hempstead credits the huge role his
mother and father has played in his
life in getting him to where he is now.
"They have both been big supporters
of me," said Hempstead. "They always
made sure I did not get too high or too
low. They always kept me at an even
keel. That really helped me to become
the person I am today. They are the
reason I am standing here right now."
Hempstead had advice for the
younger kids who would one day
want to stand where he stands today.
"Come to work. Work hard everyday,"
he said. "When it is all over and you
are going to college you will be proud
of what you have done."

the Lady Hornets been
able to convert from the
free throw line the score
would have been even
more one-sided. In the
period, Lafayette at-
tempted seven charity
tosses and converted
two. The problem was
three were the front ends
of bonus shots. Three
would have completed
three-point plays.
The Lafayette coach
said his team wanted to
put numbers on the
board quicker than the
clock would allow.
"Seems like we wanted to
put 20 points on the
board with each posses-
sion," he said. "But-our
defense was very good
tonight. When the of-
fense is not going good,
you can.always play de-
fense. We stressed that to
the girls."
Lafayette used their
quickness to get off to a
fast start. Sunshine Reid,
who shared scoring hon-
ors with Land with her
17 points, fueled the
Lady Hornets quick start.
A one point in the quar-
ter she scored eight
straight points as
Lafayette opened up a
14-2 lead. Coach
Blankenship said he felt
St. Joe may have under-
estimated his team's
quickness. "I think they
were a little surprised
and underestimated our
speed and the things we
can do in the open court,"


he said. "They seemed to
wanted to play in the
open court which is fine
with us. That just opens
things up for us."
The Lady Hornets held
a 35-14 lead at the half
and only allowed St. Joe
two field goals in the sec-
ond period. Kelsey
Land's three-point basket
that almost brought rain,
put the Lady Hornets in
front 25-5. Free throws
by St. Joe kept the Lady
Flashes in the game until
a late surge by Lafayette
netted them a 21 point
half time lead.
The Lady Hornet men-
tor said he was con-
cerned over his team's in-
ability to convert from
the free throw line. .
"There are games that are
going to be won at the
free throw line," he said.
"We work on them in
practice. We put empha-
sis on them. Maybe that
is the problem, we do too
much free throws. We
are not a bad free throw
shooting team. But it is
one thing that I am con-
cerned with."
For the game Lafayette
hit only eight of 22 at-
tempts from the stripe.
"We have to make our
free throws when we put
the other team in that po-
sition," said Coach
Blankenship.
The win improved the
Lady Hornets to 25-2 on
the season as they main-
tain their third place state
ranking.

TRENTON VS
LAFAYETTE
In an earlier tourna-
ment match-up, the Hor-
nets disposed of Trenton
67-60 in the opening
game for both teams.
Lafayette enjoyed a 17
point lead but Trenton
rallied to make it an in-
teresting game. With 2:55
to play in the third peri-
od, the Tigers cut the
deficit to four points, 53-
49, with a 13-2 run to
close out the third peri-
od.
With 6:19 to play in the
fourth, Trenton managed
to take the lead over
Lafayette on a three-
point basket by Jeff De-
long. On a strong move
to the basket by Kevin
Waters, the lead went
back to the Hornets. Ed-
wards took a super pass
from Sellers for an easy
basket putting Lafayette
up 57-54. The Hornets
managed to build the
lead back to seven points
with 1:03 to play.
Jonathan Sellers led the
Hornets scoring with 16
points. Jonathan Ed-
wards and Eric McIntyre
finished with 10 points
each. Antwan Brown
tossed in eight points as
did Joey Watson. Kevin
Waters and Sergio Perez
netted four points apiece
with Jamal Reid and
Devin Bellemy scoring
two points each.

Aging healthily not a mystery


Whether it's fruitful or not, people tend to worry more about
their health as they age. For some, the worrying can be
productive, forcing them to overhaul a lifestyle that might not
be healthy. For others, the worrying might only compound
existing problems.
While it's understandable and necessary to focus more on
health as the aging process progresses, taking care of oneself
and aging healthily doesn't have to be as hard as it seems.
Instead, having an understanding of the human body and what
happens to it as it ages can go a long way toward maintaining a
healthy lifestyle well into one's golden years.
Whenever health comes into question, the first thing to cross
most people's minds is their diet. Dietary changes are necessary
as we get older for a variety of reasons.
Shifting energy levels: One of the foremost reasons diet
changes are needed as we age is the loss of energy that comes
with age. Because the body's energy levels decrease 6ver time,
fewer calories are needed to function on a daily basis. If caloric
intake is not reduced as we age, weight gain and other negative
physical consequences can result.
Weakening bones: Dietary changes are also necessary to
defend oneself against injuries that can result from bones
weakening as the body ages. As we get older, bones begin to
lose mineral content, making them more susceptible to breaks
and other injuries. In addition, the body is more susceptible to
osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become brittle and
fragile, as it ages. Calcium can help prevent injuries to bones
and osteoporosis, emphasizing the importance of making
calcium a part of your daily diet.
Shift in production: Ever wonder why a middle-aged man
can eat the same diet as a young man but the physical evidence
(namely the difference in body type) will not indicate this to be
true? This is because as a body ages it begins producing more
body fat and less muscle. This means reducing the amount of fat
in your diet as you age and exercising more to combat the
reduction in muscle tissue production is necessary. It's best to
consult a physician for any specific dietary changes, but in
general reducing fat intake while including more protein in your
diet is a good start toward combating the production shift that
takes place as the body ages.
Another thing to expect as you age is changes to your
cardiovascular system. The most noticeable change is the heart
loses some of its efficiency with respect to pumping blood. Part
of that loss of efficiency is due to blood vessels losing some of

Daily exercise, regardless of age, is one way to ensure the aging process is a graceful
one.
their elasticity, making it harder for blood to be pumped. With the
heart now working harder to do the same job it's been doing for
years, certain changes must be made to reduce stress on the heart.
One is reducing fat intake. Someone who has a diet high in fat runs
the very dangerous risk of having fatty deposits form on their artery
walls, stiffening those walls as a result while increasing blood
pressure and making it even harder for the heart to pump blood. This
is another reason to reduce fat intake as you age.
While much of the discussion thus far has focused on ways to lose
weight and maintain a healthy weight, many people, particularly the
elderly, find themselves underweight as they get older.
Unbeknownst to many, being underweight can be just as damaging.
as being overweight.'
Perhaps the biggest risk you run when being underweight is
associated with turning a cold or other short-term illness into a
much bigger problem. Keeping a healthy weight helps ensure that
your body is resilient, fully capable of handling some ailments, such
as cold or flu, that can afflict anyone, regardless of age. Being
underweight lessens your energy reserves, meaning you won't be
able to bounce back as quickly should you get the flu or a cold.
Sometimes, you might not be able to bounce back at all, leading to
permanent disability or, in some cases, death.
For those who are underweight, be sure to eat three meals a day.
Underweight people can find that finishing a meal is tough. If
you're in that boat, this is okay, but make sure you eat the highest
calorie foods on the plate first. If you need to leave anything on the
plate, don't leave the items that will help you get back to a healthy
weight.

nity to feature African butterflies in the But-
terfly Rainforest is also a wonderful com-
plement to the exhibit and a great way for
visitors to experience African wildlife first-

hand."
Through many hands-on activities, three-
dimensional settings, multimedia presenta-
tions and an exceptional collection of
African artifacts, the exhibit demonstrates
the enormous diversity of African geogra-
phy, societies and political systems, and
also helps visitors under-
stand more fully the impact
of slavery and freedom
movements in Africa and the
Americas.
The exhibit will run
through Sept. 7. Admission
is $6.50 for adults, $5.50 for
Florida residents, seniors
ages 62 and above and stu-
dents, and $4 for children
ages 3-12. For more infor-
mation, visit
www.flmnh.ufl.edu.
The content of the exhibit
is organized into four sec-
tions: "Families and Festi-
vals," "Safari," "Caravan"
and "Diaspora," which ex-
amines the disbursement of
Africa's ethnic population
and its cultural development
thereafter.
In Families and Festivals
museum-goers can observe
modem family life through

i* courtyard of a suburban

wer needed to :
one-third the


the family's actual courtyard activi-
ties. This section contains an orienta-
tion gallery that offers basic facts
about Africa: its countries, cities, lan-
guages, religions and geography.
The Safari section emphasizes
African wildlife and ecological
tourism. This section features life-size
animal skulls and their environmental
adaptations, a giant termite mound
and interactive video displays on go-
rilla research. I
The Caravan section features inter-
active and lifelike displays in a desert
oasis and a Tuareg family tent. The 4
Tuareg, a semi-nomadic group known
for their salt caravans and distinctive (
blue veils, are the region's best-
known people. An actual goat-skin Flori
tent and other household objects de-
pict the everyday life of modern Tu-
areg merchants who crisscross the Sahara to
reach several of Africa's metropolitan trad-
'ing cities.
The section titled Diaspora examines
Africa's interrelationships with the Americ-
as, focusing on the dispersal of African peo-
ples from Canada to Argentina. Visitors
learn how the majority of Africans histori-
cally arrived in the Americas through the
transatlantic slave trade. The exhibit also
explores African contributions to the cre-
ation of contemporary societies and the
ways those of African descent celebrate
their culture today.

Fun Birthday Themes
Still stuck on what your children and their friends
might enjoy? Here are some suggestions for the
hosts and tips for those attending to accentuate
any creative theme.
Colorful celebrations: One simple way to plan
a great party is to base the theme on your child's
favorite color. For example, if your little girl loves
everything pink, throw a pink party.
* Decorate the cake with pink icing and use just a
hint of red food coloring to make a pink batter.
You can even snack pink. Serve strawberry yogurt,
dye the milk pink and combine strawberries,
watermelon and raspberries for an appropriately
festive fruit salad. Pink plates, napkins and cups
are also easy to find.
* Encourage guests to adorn their gifts with pink
wrap and accessories, or bring them in fashionable
pink gift bags. Shoppers can easily find all of their
pink essentials conveniently displayed together in
the Target card, wrap and stationery department,
* Remind all attendees to wear a little something
pink, and make,sure the birthday girl is covered
from head to toe in her favorite color. You can
also provide rose-colored glasses to all of the
guests to ensure a perfectly pink occasion.


A sporting affair: No matter what time of year,
a sports theme is always a great idea. You can spe-
cialize the party based on your son's or daughter's
favorite sport, or design your own sports lounge
recognizing the many sports they enjoy.
* For a simple snack idea for any sport, make your
child's favorite sandwich as the main course and
cut them out in the shape of a football, basketball
or baseball. Decorate each one with mustard or
melted cheese to look like the seams And laces,
* Create a fun and unexpected cake based on a park
or playing field. For example, create a great golf
course cake by dyeing shredded coconut green to
mirror the greens of the course. Use brown sugar
for sand traps, blue icing for water hazards, and
you could even sneak in a few candy golf balls to
top it off.
* Want a way to get a few things done with one easy
suggestion? Get fun t-shirts made up as jerseys for
all of the kids. These can act as their placeholders
at the table an unexpected and thoughtful favor
that leads perfectly to them teaming up for a game
in the backyard.


Trouble coming up with the perfect theme? Don't worry, just build the party around one of
your children's favorite characters. For instance, you can find everything you need for the
perfect Hello Kitty party in the card, wrap and stationery department at Target.


An assist from animals: For young children few
things are as interesting as the animal world. If
your little one loves everything animal, create a
zoo, circus or carnival party.
* In lieu of a cake, get the kids more involved and
let them decorate cupcakes with their favorite
animal faces.
* Let out your inner animal in decorating for the
party. Something as simple as drawing animal
faces on balloons or creating garlands with circus
peanuts to hang over a chandelier or railing will
help to get everyone in the carnival spirit.
* Possible activities for an animal themed party are
endless, Have an older brother, sister or friend paint
animal faces on your child and their guests. If you
want a more handmade look, get everything the
kids would need to create their own inventive
animal masks to wear to the party. Simple
items like markers, craft paper, cotton
and twist ties or pipe cleaners should
be all you'lll need

Rules to plan by
In planning a birthday party for your child, there
are a few golden rules that Thompson and her
team pass along.
Limit the party to two hours if you are hosting
it at your house. This will give you sufficient
time for preparation and clean up, and it is just
enough time to keep all guests entertained,


A candy-coated party: What kid doesn't love candy?
So why not use it as a fun way to coordinate your
child's party?
* Have the guests design their very own party hats
with candy. Cover a basic party hat with construc-
tion paper and let the kids go wild with their sweet
imaginations.
* Sweeten up your cake presentation by having cups
of different assorted candies scattered around and
let the party guests decorate their own masterpiece.
* Instead of using traditional ribbons to wrap each
place setting, use licorice or candy bracelets. Your
centerpiece could actually be as simple as layering
glasses or bowls with colored jellybeans for a fun
visual effect,


A sports theme is a fun
idea for any birthday
party. Base it on a
particular sport or a
general sporting theme
and come up with fun
01 all %%ill enjoy. And, of
course, no party would
SB be complete without a
great card. This unique
card, featuring a 360-
r '- degree design, is the
S perfect way to say
S happy birthday to
any sports fanatic.


















s Be sure to find out about any food allergies or
general preferences from other parents. Making--4 t
sure everyone can enjoy the party and all of
the snacks is essential.'
Short on time? Not a problem. Get one of
your children's favorite characters to help you.
This year some of the most popular themes
at Target include-those from the blockbuster
film Transformers and new offerings from the
always-popular Hello Kitty collection.


SThe local businesses are here to take good care of you.
