Dozens of
Lafayette, Suwan-

county residents
went north to
Washington
Tuesday to witness
the inauguration
of Barack Obama
as the nation's
first African

Their comments
are moving,
stirring and
personal.

Raising children is

you will ever love, it's
said. In the past few
years, we have seen
"safe haven" laws
passed to protect par-
ents from prosecution
for abandoning their
children. These laws
were passed with the
intent to protect chil-


dren from harm and
even death at the
hands of desperate
parents.
Throughout the
ages, there have been
very special individu-

call to work with or-

'Answer in homes all across the

Florida's Virtual School (FLVS) began
as a small program between the

Pilgrim's honor local
poultry producers'
contracts
By Jeff Waters
jeff.waters@gaflnews:com
A group of area poultry
producers has hired a
lawyer in an effort to block
Pilgrim's Pride's cancella-
tion of their contracts.
The attorney will petition
the United States Bankrupt-
cy Court for the Northern
District of Texas at a Jan. 27
hearing to honor the con-
tracts, Bruno Garcia, one of
the growers, said Friday.
A $20,000 retainer was
wired last Thursday and
now all they can do is wait.
"Basically it's all in (the at-
torney's) hands now," Gar-
cia said. "We're hoping for
the best, but she told us
there's a 50/50 chance but
it's better than a zero per-
cent chance. If we just stand
around doing nothing, we
are accomplishing nothing."

Prevent the flu from


flooring you this season


When the colder
weather begins to rear its
ugly head, so, typically,
do the common ailments
associated with the drop-
ping temperatures. For"
many, the notion of win-
ter as the holiday season
has been replaced and in-
stead become the 'cold
and flu season.
And that's not just per-
ception, it's reality. Ac-
cording to the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-


vention (CDC), more
than 200,000 people in the
United. States are hospi-
talized from flu complica-
tions each year. Of those,
10 percent are children
younger than 5.
For many people, the
flu shot-has helped make
winter far more enjoy-
able. However, many
more people either can-
not get a flu shot because
of allergies or simply for-
got to get one.. For those


who weren't able to get a
flu shot this season, the
following prevention-fo-
cused tips could be the
key to avoiding the flu.
Wash your hands
with soap and hot water.
Perhaps the best preven-
tative measure you can
take on a daily basis is to
regularly wash your
hands with soap and hot
water, .especially after
you cough or sneeze.
Germs can easily spread


Routinely and thoroughly washing your hands is one way to reduce the likelihood of falling
victim to the flu this season.



Mayo native sworn into the

Flrida Bar Association- -


Mayo native, Kyle Lee Shaw, was sworn into the Florida Bar Saturday, December 6,
2008, by Senior Judge Harlow (Hank) Land, Jr. The ceremony, which took place in
the Harlow H. Land, Jr. courtroom at the Lafayette County Courthouse, marked
Shaw's transition from a student of the law to an attorney. Shaw graduated from the
Florida State University College of Law last May with honors and passed the bar
exam last July. He currently practices in Tallahassee where he is a staff attorney at
the Florida First District Court of Appeal.


Fire devastates

the main home and all
escaped harm.
The state fire mar-
shal's office believes
that the fire began in a
gym in the rear of the
main home.
David was the princi-
pal at the Mayo school
in 1974 when he met
Abigail Jackson. They
married and soon
moved to Honeyville
on land homesteaded
by David's family. Both
had come from large
families and began
plans to start their own
family as well as to of-


fer a safe and loving
home to children in
need.
Without government
funding, the Tauntons
have 'successfully pro-
vided a "home," not
just a facility or hous-
ing, but a real home for
their 200 or so children.
Now they need help
to rebuild, as the home
was not insured. Dona-
tions may be made at
these banks: Prosperity,
Capital City, Peoples
First and Emerald Coast
Federal. For more infor-
mation call the Taunton
Children's Home at

from someone else's
hands to yours, and you
never know if a coworker
you've shaken hands
with has the flu virus or
germs that could make
you susceptible.
Avoid touching your
eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs on your hands can
easily spread to your
eyes, nose or mouth when
you frequently touch
these parts of your body.
Avoid doing so at all
times, even if you have
thoroughly cleansed your
hands.
Routinely clean any
shared surfaces. Viral
germs can live on the sur-
faces of, counter tops,
doorknobs, computer
keyboards, and tele-
phones for up to an hour.
To combat the spread of
these germs, routinely
clean surfaces that are
shared with others, and
use antibacterial soaps
and cleaners that prevent
the spread of germs.
Avoid those who cur-
rently have the flu. The
flu is easily spread from
one person to another,
and the viral germs cane
be air borne. Whenever
you're exposed to a per-
son with the flu, be sure
to wash your hands fre-
quently and do your best
to minimize your expo-
sure to them.
Parents, teach your
kids. For parents, the
chances of catching the
flu are often heightened
because it's hard to
know who your children
are coming into contact
with at school every day.
Because schools have so
many children, it's al-
most impossible for chil-
dren to 'avoid" being' ex-
posed t6 the 'flu virus at
one point or another. To
decrease the likelihood
of getting the 'flu
through your children or
their classmates, teach
the kids the same flu
prevention tips as well.
Tell them to be sure to
wash their hands regu-
larly, and avoid share
food or beverages with
their friends as well.
Eat healthy and get
your sleep. A poor diet
and a lack of sleep,
whether together or sim-
ply on their own, can
weaken the immune sys-
tem. A weaker immune
system makes us more
susceptible to the flu, as,
well as other ailments. Be
sure to eat a healthy, bal-
anced diet, and make sure
you make time to get the
proper amount of rest.
To learn more about flu
prevention, visit the Cen-
ters for Disease Control
and Prevention Web site
at www.cdc.gov.

amid record-high feed
prices and a glut in the
poultry market. The
company recently an-
nounced that 505 jobs
would be cut at the
Suwannee County plant
and that 26 local grower
contracts would be can-
celed as part of the reor-
ganization.
"Now more than.ever,
it is critical for our com-
pany to find ways to re-
duce our costs and op-
erate more efficiently,"
Ray Atkinson, director
of corporate communi-
cations for Pilgrim's,
said by email. "As we
move through the reor-
ganization process un-
der Chapter 11, we face
tough choices involving


our operations, our em-
ployees and our grow-
ers. Some of the actions
we must take are
painful, especially when
they involve eliminating
jobs or grower contracts.
However, we believe
these actions are ab-
solutely vital to help
protect the greatest,
number of jobs and to
ensure the future viabil-
.ity of our company."
The Pittsburg, Texas-
based company lost
nearly $1 billion during
the 2008 fiscal year, the
worst loss in the compa-
ny's 63-year history,
said Atkinson.
Local growers plan to
picket the Live Oak Pil-
grim's Pride plant in
protest on the day of the
hearing in Texas.

INAUGUR L A..SPECIAL


Jessie Philpot of Live Oak
"I'm very pleased to be a part of this
team that is going to the inauguration.
I didn't feel it would happen in my life-
time, which will be an historic event in
America. I think we should rally.
around and pull through, we need to
unify. I feel great about it and I feel
he's qualified and has been very consis-
tent on what he said he would d&."
On the future of country
"I feel like the future of our country
is in good hands and I feel like America
will once again have a better reputa-
tion. It's not because he's Obama, it's
What he believes in."

The Rev. Joseph Simmons of Jasper
"I feel like this has to be an act of
God. Obama is going to be a great as-
set to our country, he's going to come
up with methods to benefit the country
as a whole."
On Obama as president
"I feel good about it, simply because
the fact that we do have a Democrat
and I just definitely feel that president
Obama was given by God to lead our
country out of this depression if you
will. Just learning about him and learn-
ing about his history appears to be a
*man who is as much white as he is
black. I truly think he will stand up for
our country."


Henry Smart of Live Oak
"I'm excited because number one,
it's an historic moment for me, some-
thing I probably won't ever Io again.
I'm excited because things got so bad
here in the United States, I feel like the
Lord has raised up a man that will help
turn this nation around. Having Obama
as president is something I feel like
should have happened some time ago."
On the economy
"I'm sure that things are going to
turn around. They're not going to turn
around overnight because of the bad
conditions, but I think we're going to
go places. I feel anything is better than
we have now."

McArthur Linton of Live Oak
"I think it's a history for this nation
to go see the first black president
sworn in and I think it's one of the
greatest things in history. I think he's
going to be the greatest for the nation.
I had no idea that I would see this, but
I remember when Martin Luther King
said in his speech, "I Have a Dream,"
and this is his dream coming true,
Obama."

Jerry Buchert of Live Oak
"Obviously it's a land mark in time
in our history and I want to be there.
It's major and having worked in social
services all my career, I'm all into new


directions for our country, like.health
care." ,
On Obama as president
"From everything I've seen he ha
gathered the smartest people around
him and has' a huge set of problems.
I'm expecting some major changes. I
was very impressed the way he became
a phenomenon with young people es-
pecially."
On the future of country
"I'm concerned about all the debt
and hope that we can turn it around so
it won't affect my children and grand-
children's, quality of life."

Pauline Blalock of Live Oak.
"Our trip has been overwhelmingly
fantastic due to in great part of this -
historical significance of this occasion.
I think it's. wonderful it's something
our forebearers probably looked for-
ward to, and to see it come to fruition
is almost mind boggling."
"We are excited to be in the city and
to see and hear him take the oath of of-
fice." .
Feelings about Obama
"I feel that the nation is going to, ral-
ly around him and for him, I under-
stand we are in a great crisis and I feel
like he's going to deal with that in a re-
sponsible way. I look for positive things
I don't look for negatives."


Shatara Blake
of Mayo,
"I feel that it's won-
derful in this lifetime to
see a change in 2009
and hope that this pres-
ident can, speak and do
what he's promised the
Americans he would
do."
On the future
"I feel security and
think this is a great
event and I brought my
eight year old to experi-
ence this great event,"
On Obama as
president
"Personally I'm grate-
ful and thankful. I have
campaigned for Obama
so it's a wonderful ex-
perience and am blessed
to be here in America to
see this change and to
see him as our 44th
president."


Tiffany Bellinger
of Live Oak
"I am excited and anx-
ious and a little bit over-
whelmed with the whole
idea of the inauguration
itself and what Obama
has in store for our na-
tion."
"I think it's going to
be a long hard road, but
I think he will lead us in
the direction we need to
travel.
On the future
"Personally to me
someone thought not in
my lifetime, definitely
not my grandma's,
would we have an
African-American presi-
dent. I think this is a
message of hope and en-
couragement for the
kids."


Calamity White
of Live Oak
"I feel like a change is
coming to America at this
point and we should keep
the president and first
family in our prayers."
"I think if you just listen
to him (Obama) I just see
faith and honesty and
that's a start."
"As I travel to Washing-
ton, D.C. all I could think
of is how proud I am to be
a part of this history mak-
ing event, meaning the
first African-American
president to be sworn in
to office is so electrify-
ing."
"If we work and come
together in unity with
president Obama I feel
like we'll have a positive
leader and positive begin-
ning. I feel like that is
what it's going to take."


Linda Ford of
Live Oak
"I'm excited having
been a part of this com-
pany and I witnessed the
historic election, there
was no way I was going
to miss the inauguration
and I was going to get
there one way or the oth-
er."
The future
"Considering the last
eight years, we can only
go forward. We're look-
ing to prosperity, turning
the economy around and
bringing our troops
home."
"I don't know how I
could explain how I feel,
just so overwhelming. I
never thought that I
would see it happen but
it has."

Suwannee River Stock dog trials


The Suwannee River
Stock dog trials will be
held locally at the 'Cul-
leymont in Dixie' farm
on Highway 349 in the
northeast comer of Dixie
County, on January 31,
February 1 and 2, 2009.
This will be the second
stock dog trials to be
held at the farm in Dixie
County.
"For hundreds of
years, stock dog trials
have been held in Scot-
land and England where
sheep dogs, primarily
Border Collies and their
handlers exhibit their
skills in. handling sheep'
through an assigned ob-
stacle course. A trial is
designed to test all the
skills a good ranch or
farm dog 'needs to per-
form its daily work. To
reach the level of train-
ing and skill required to
successfully compete in
a trial, takes years of
work on the part of the
dog and the handler.
The team effort is
demonstrated as the
partners (handlers and
dogs) not only under-
stand each other perfect-
ly but outguess and out-
wit. unfamiliar sheep as
they entice them through
the obstacle course."
Spectators always en-
joy watching these fasci-
nating ,, dogs compete
while under total control
at distances of 260 to 500
yards through obstacle
after obstacle. The idea is
for the dog, with the as-
sistance of the handler
controlling it by voice or


whistle, to flank right,
left, stop, walk up. of
make whatever move
needed to move these
three sheep through'the
course.
The handler stays at
the post to command the
dog through the ten min-
utes allotted until he
reaches the pen when he
can leave the post to help
the dog. The ultimate re-
sult is to put the sheep
through the course in a
quiet and controlled
manner : causing the
sheep very little anxiety.
Gripping or biting the
she6p in any way results
in immediate disqualifi-
cation.
These trials are quali-
fying trials for the Unit-
ed States Border Collie
Handlers Association
National Finals and the
Georgia Stock Dog Asso-
ciation Finals. The Open
or highest level of classes
is held on Saturday and
Sunday. Younger dogs
will compete in the low-
er level classes ,on Mon-
day. A United States Bor-
der Collie Assoc. Nurs-
ery class will also be held
on each of the three days
of competition. The
judges for these will be
Tom Lacy from Rich-
mond, Virginia, and Jim,
Murphy form Portland,
Ontario Canada.
Competitors are ex-
pected from several'
states with many of the
competitors coming
from Florida and Geor-
gia. Mr. Fred Moses, a lo-
cal dairyman from Bran-

Among the competi-

Richard are presently na-
tionally ranked in the top

tion. One of the dogs

the open competition is
named Spot. Spot was
imported from Ireland
and was ranked eighth in
the country last year.
Spot also won the North-
east Border Collie Asso-
ciation Finals. Richard
will be running Lass who
won the Northeast Bor-
der Handler's Associa-
tion's High Points
awards for 2007.
Sheepdog trialing and
herding in general is one
of .the fastest growing


sports in the dog world
today. Trials are spring-
ing up all over the coun-
try with more and more
people competing. The
sport can be equally en-
joyed by the old or
young, man or woman;
from any walk of life
whatever their profes-
sion.
The Border Collie is
the thoroughbred of the
herding dogs and the
dog most often seen
competing at the large


herding trials though
trials are. open to
breed of dog. The B
Collie is entirely bre

that many of these

1959 Lafayette High School Hornets

Group 3, Class B District Champions

Class B State Tournament


Mrs. Edward Perry and son Herbert Perry recently repre-
sented the late Edward Perry at the 50th reunion of the Hor-
nets 1959 district championship team. Edward was a
sophomore that year and was third on the team in free
throw shooting. The stories left behind by Edward were
amazing, especially when told by his family. And we all
know Herbert is great telling stories.


Submitted by
Mayo Sports Talk
' A very special group of
Hornet folks were in
Mayo this past week to
enjoy some basketball ac-
tion on Friday, and then
united at the Le' Chateau
de Lafayette Hotel for
some fine dining and cel-
ebration during a 50th
Anniversary Basketball
Reunion from the 1959
Lafayette High School
Hornets. There is not
enough room in the Free'
Press to cover the entire-
ty of what came out of
this reunion, so we are
going to run a couple of
weeks to make sure we
give an incredible ac-
count of each of the jour-
ney's that followed this
group after leaving
Mayo. Or did they leave
Mayo?
The Master of Cere-
monies for this event was-
Coach Milton E. Ceraso.
Coach Ceraso would ar-
rive in Mayo in 1958 and
would enjoy a district
championship and a nin
ht the state title. He
would remain in Mayo
for 8 years as the basket-
ball coach, and would
once again-bring another
district title to Mayo in
1964. With that title,
Coach Ceraso would
hold the record for dis-
trict titles in Mayo, a
record that has only been,
equaled to date, and that
man is Coach Taylor Mc-
Grew..
Attending the reunion
was Coach Ceraso and
his wife Delores, Miss
Edward Perry and son
Herbert Perry in support
of the late Edward Perry,
Curtis Koon and fiance
Delores Parker, Mr and
Mrs John Hewitt, J.W.
Buchanan. and wife Betty
Jean, Ben Folsom and
wife Judith, Mr and Mrs
Hank Land, Mr and Mrs
David Shiver, and Mr
and Mrs Butch Alford.
Also attending was Tay-
lor McGrew, Hornets
Athletic Director Mike
Harris and School Super-
intendent Tom Lashley.
Coach Ceraso would
have a direct influence
with the hiring of these
three gentleman.
The reunion was cer-
tainly an emotional one
since this was first meet-


ing for many of this
group since those golden
years in 1959. Here at
Mayo Sports Talk, we ex-
pected an emotional re-
union as we have had
several folks that have
taken the time to drop in
and inform us that the
best coach that Mayo has
had over the long tradi-
tional rich history is a
man by the name of Mil-
ford Ceraso. So it was of
no surprise to hear*the
respect that the athletes
from this group gave to
their leader, and made it
be known that the suc-
cess they have enjoyed
throughout their journey
in life was a result of the
impressions Coach Cera-
so left with them.
After a hearty welcome
from AD Mike Harris,
the first speaker was Tom
Lashley sating the im-
portance of sports which
was, definitely highlight-
ied by listening to the ac-
complishments of this
group. He stated' that
sports taught the basic
core values and self disci-
pline, and one of the fo-
cuses on the athletes in
Mayo is learning how to
be unselfish. Belonging
to a group always had
you answering to some-
body and help the athlete
to mature. He also pro-
vided a personal story
that taught him a valu-
able lesson when he
moved to Utah. In a con-
versation with one of his
children, he found out
they were miserable in
Utah because they just
did not seem to matter
anymore, while in Mayo,
they felt they did matter.
There was .no sense of
community. The Lash-
ley's are back in Mayo,
and seem to be very hap-
py. He also stated that
our basketball team is
down this year, but we
teach the athletes to con-
tinue to work hard,-and
from what he seen from
this 1959 team, that is a
standard practice in
Mayo with 50 years of
connection with this
group not diminishing in
the least. .
'Taylor McGrew would
bring back some great
moments concerning' his
relationship with Coach
Ceraso. McGrew was


The Master of ceremonies was Coach Milton E. Ceraso. I
have always said that if a student can take something with
him to the outside world after school that you have taught
him, you have done your job. The success stories you are
going to hear from this team range from fighter pilots, FBI,
coaching, lawyers, Judges, Presidents of corporations and
school superintendents. And all of them have great looking
wives and tell great stories of many grandchildren and suc-
cess stories for their children. It all began with the lessons
learned on the hardwood by this man in his first year at
Mayo in 1959.


hired as the football
coach in 1985 by Ceraso,
but, there were earlier
moments, such as the
first unbeaten JV football
team coached by Mc-
Grew. He would actually
have two straight trying
to direct a quarterback by
the name of Kerwin Bell.
McGrew would move up
to offensive coordinator
for the Hornets which
would equal a state title
in 1981 with a convincing,
win over Frostproof. The
game was in Frostproof,
put what this group
found pride in was the
fact that Mayo actually
brought more fans than
the home team. That is
actually pretty common
in Mayo after witnessing
the Lady Hornets visit to
the Lakeland Civic Cen-
ter last year. McGrew
would spend 10 years as
the head football coach,
and 20 years as the bas-
ketball coach. One of the
things that came out was
the fact that Taylor had
coached many of the sons
of the reunion members.
There was some question
as to Coach McGrew be-
ing the originator of soft-
ball in Mayo. It is very
true that softball started
very early in Mayo. It
would drop, and a very
humble Coach McGrew
would get the program
started back, and it has
been a major force ever
since.
And then Mrs. Eward
Perry, would give an ac-
count of the late Edward
Perry. In Branford, Miss
Perry was so much a stay
in Mayo, they just looked
at her as non-existent.
But in 1966, Mayo would
once again be blessed.
For 38 years, the dairy
was the career, but the
recreational fields and
the baseball diamond be-
longed to Edward. There
would be three children
in the home, but many
others that got the atten-
tion of Edward. He was
very intense with hunt-
ing and recreation. So
much that one story re-
layed was when Berbert
had busted his head open
in little league and had
been taken care of, Ed-
ward had not even no-
ticed. Total non-stop, but
have 10 grandchildren
and good life that was ex-
tremely blessed. Accord-
ing to Miss Perry, if Ed-
ward had to leave us, it
would. be hoped that it
would happen on either
the hunting or recreation
fields which he loved the
most. He would fall from
the tree stand doing what
he loved the most in
2004, but he has certainly
left behind a strong mem-
ory and foundation for
others to carry on his tra-
dition. .
Herbert gave his view
of his late father and ac-
knowledged that he is
very blessed with the
parents he was given. He
admitted he had only
seen his father tired once,
and that was a week be-
fore his passing. He was
just total non-stop and if
you tried to wake him
from his sleep, he was up
and going.He just had an
aura about him. He
could be getting down on
folks, but folks would
love him for it. Herbert
admits that some of the
arguments between him


and his father used to
baffle people. Ten min-
utes later, it was like there
was never a problem.
Some of the competitive
games in this area on the
recreation fields took


LAYPYETT%


The team in no particular order consisted of Coach Milton E. Ceraso, Curtis Koon, Butch
Alford, Ben Folsom, J. W. Buchanan, Hank Land, Johnny Hewitt and David Shiver. In heart
and memory to Larry Sullivan and Edward Perry. James Putnal could not attend.


place between Kerwin
Bell and Edward Perry.
People would show up
just to watch the two of'
them go at it. He was
very tolerant however as
witnessed with a story
concerning Oliver Jack-
son, an employee. After
Edward had just bought
a prize winning bull,
Jackson was supposed to
have cow butchered, and
shot the prize bull. Ed-
ward, naturally upset,
just shrugged it off as the
most expensive ham-
burger that he bought.
Edward Perry was a
sophomore with this
team, and was third in
free throw percentage
with 54.1%. Sure wish
Herbert could have shot
that.
We have lost a lot in
this community with not
only the passing of Ed-


ward Perry, but also a
man I dearly miss in
Mayo, that being the late
Andy Hart. Andy would
always make the time for
these reunion groups,
and all the history of
Mayo athletics. He had
told me once in an inter-
view that he just wanted
to live long enough to see
the Hornets pull one
more state title. He
loved this town and the
athletics at all levels.' I
must admit, I. walked
into the gym this past
week for the start of
recreation basketball
which I have so much
looked forward to :each
year. It just was not the
same. He is also missed
very much at the basket-
ball, football and base-
ball games. He would
have his version of the
Kerwin Bell era and the


state championship. I
could listen to that all
day long. He just always
loved to put people to
work, without prejudice
and judgements, for .the
sake of the kids here in
Mayo. As with Edward,
the spirit they have left
behind is strong and can
never be replaced. But
the foundation laid by
these two loyal Hornet
fans is very much appre-
ciated and we here at
Mayo Sports Talk are
very appreciative of the
legacy left behind.
We will meet the rest of
the group in the next
couple of issues, but just
for thought, if your team
can still posess the strong
bond this team has 50
years later, you have ac-
complished something
that is worth holding on

by a multitude of fac-
tors-including early
childhood, family life,
mental health, and sub-
stance abuse issues and
that no single action
can be counted on tq
prevent it.
The Lafayette County
Schools Safe School
Healthy Students Initia-
tive, Project SAVE, has
been selected three
times' by the National
Staff in the last two
months to present their
best practices on SSHS
teleconferences / webi-
nars and at National
meetings. Becky
Sharpe, Project Direc-
tor, of the Lafayette
County School SSHS
Initiative co-presented
a teleconference in No-,
vember as well as pre-
sented at National,
SSHS Conferences in
Albuquerque, New
Mexico and Orlando,
Florida to share with
projects nationwide
how Lafayette County
Schools and its partners
have successfully im- -
-plemented the many'
prevention and inter-
vention programs in
Lafayette County.
The, teleconference in
November which Becky
co-presented with Na-
tional Safe School
Healthy Students Tech-
nical Assistance Spe-
cialists, Sandy Keenan
and John Rosiak, cen- '
tered, on preparing Year
2 Project Directors for
, site visits by the Na-
tional Staff and how to
work with their grant
partners to prepare
them for the visit.
Becky shared with the
audience the approach

she used to prepare
Lafayette County part-
ners for the National
Staff Site Visit which
proved to be very suc-
cessful according to the
National Staff. The tele-
conference was a com-
bination of a telephone
conference call and a si-
multaneous web-based
seminar. Becky.was
chosen to co-present the
teleconference due to
the success of Lafayette
County School's site
visit.
" Becky was also asked
to speak to her peers at
two National Confer-
ences over the last two
months. In November,
Becky spoke to Project
Directors and their
partners from grant
sites who received
SSHS funding in, 2007.
The presentation fo-
cused on how to over-
come the challenges
and obstacles faced by
small rural communi-
- ties when implementing
large and diverse and
Federal grants like the
Safe School Healthy
Students Initiative.
Last week, Becky
presented to Project Di-
rectors and Grant Eval-*
uators who received
grants in 2005, 2006,
and 2007. The presenta-
tion focused on how to
effectively engage part-
ners in data collection
and the evaluation
process. Becky shared
the data collection and,
evaluation instruments
created for use by the
Lafayette County Pro-
ject SAVE partners to
report their progress,
success and barriers
each month. She ex-
plained the information
collected from the part-
ners each month which
is forwarded to the pro-
ject evaluator, Nina Bar-

Heart Matters


"Let's talk!" Webster
defines talking as "to ex-
press or exchange ideas
-by means of spoken
?words." In other words,
communication is the
,way we share life with
',other people. .This hap-
pens in two ways: 1) We
:reveal something about
.ourselves to another per-
,son and 2) we receive a
'revealed message from
.another person. By this,
'.we share our experiences
and feelings, (our lives)
with others and they get
to know us. We listen to
their experiences and
feelings (their lives) and
we get to know them.
We learn what they enjoy-
and what they don't,
,what makes them happy
and what makes them
angry. Sounds simple
enough, so what is it that
makes this so difficult?
Remember the old
game "gossip?" One
person whispered a mes-
sage to another and they
passed it on down the
line, only saying it once
per person and then find-
ing out what the message
was from the last person,
it was never the same as
in the beginning! That
game clearly shows, the
breakdown of communi-
cation in real life. Just
because one person says
something, doesn't mean
the other person heard it
or got the same interpre-
tation, this is a major
problem in our relation-
ships! Add to that the
fact that when we are try-
ing to communicate
something beyond a sim-
ple fact, we often strug-
gle with how to express
ourselves. Misunder-'
standings result that lead
to wrong conclusions
about what the other per-
son thinks or feels. Then
another response is gen-
erated from that, wrong
conclusion, and what
started out very small


can turn into a big mess!
This happens every day
in our relationships with
our spouses, children,
friends, co-workers, etc.
Relationships end tragi-
cally over simple misun-
derstandings can this be
prevented?
The Apostle Paul
raised an interesting
question in 1 Corinthians
2:11 when he asked,
"Who among men
knows the thoughts of a
man except the spirit of
the man, which is in
him?" Essentially Paul is
saying that only you
know what is going on in
your mind, others can't
read it. It is vital to com-
municate even when you
aren't' sure what you
think or how you feel!
This at least lets others
know where you stand.
Every relationship, es-
pecially marriages need.
to make time to "share
life" together. According
to research, less than half
of all married couples in
our country spend time
daily communicating
their thoughts about
what happened in their
day and how they felt
about them. And we
wonder why so many
marriages grow apart!
Before we get married,
we can't seem to talk
enough, remember? We
say, "I do" to share life,
but once we are married
we share a house, chil-
dren, bills and responsi-
bilities and we get too
busy to share life.
Marriages aren't the
only relationships that
suffer from poor commu-
nication, we get the
wrong impression from a
friend's comment' or
body language or the fact
that an acquaintance
wasn't as friendly the
last time we' saw them.
Isn't it amazing that we
immediately assume that
it has something to do


Relay For Life Team Kickoff!

'with us, could it be possi-
ble they are just having a
bad day? For that matter,
why not ask them if any-
thing is wrong, you may
be surprised that the
problem has nothing to
do with you and in fact
might be something you
could help with! If you
want any relationship to
improve, make the time
to talk. Share something
of yourself and give oth-
ers the chance to share
,something with you, ask
questions, show interest,
and share life! Isn't that
the whole point of a rela-
tionship? Invest some
time on intentional com-
munication this week,
because your heart mat-
ters!

of greed and irresponsibility on
the part of some, but also our
collective failure to make hard
choices and prepare the nation
.for a new age." He spoke of "a
sapping of confidence across our
land -,a nagging fear that Ameri-
ca's decline is inevitable."'
To which he responded with a
declaration to choose "hope over
fear."
"Today I say to you that the
challenges we face are real. They
are serious and they are many.
They will not be met easily or in

"On this day, we gather because
we have chosen hope over fear,
unity of purpose over conflict and
discord. On this day, we come to
proclaim an end to the petty griev-
ances and false promises, the re-
criminations and worn out dog-
mas, that for far too long have
strangled our politics. We remain
a young nation, but in the words
of Scripture, the time has come to
set aside childish things. The time
has come to reaffirm our enduring
spirit; to choose our better histo-
ry; to carry forward that precious
gift, that noble idea, passed on
from generation to generation: the
God-given promise that all are
equal, all are free,
: ': and all deserve a
*. :. chance to pursue
* .'. their full measure of
happiness."
Obama ended with
an anecdote from our
nation's founding:
S" "In the year of
America's birth, in
the coldest of
months, a small band
of patriots huddled
by dying campfires
on the shores of an
' icy river. The capital
was abandoned. The
enemy was advanc-
ing. The snow was
stained with blood.
At a moment when
the outcome of our
revolution was most
in doubt, the. father
Sof our nation ordered
these words be read
to the people:
'Let it be told to
the future
world...that in the
depth of winter,
when nothing but
hope and virtue
could survive...that
the city and the
S country, alarmed at
one common danger,
came forth to meet
[it].'
America, in the
Sto face of our. common
dangers, in this win-
ter of our hardship,
let us remember
these timeless
words. With hope
and virtue, let us
brave once more the
icy currents, and en-
dure what storms
may come. Let it be
said by our children's
children that when
we were tested we
refused to let this
journey end, that we
did not turn back nor
did we falter; and
II with eyes fixed on
the horizon and
God's grace upon us,

Health "Bites':

8 Things You Didn't Know About Your Teeth
Oral health is often a window to overall
health. Evidence supports the link
between poor oral health and such
conditions.as stroke, premature birth V
and diabetes. Other conditions, such as
HIV/AIDS and osteoporosis, may show ,
preliminary signs in your mouth before
other areas of the body are affected. I
Also, some of your daily activities or
habits can affect your oral health. ".
Therefore, it pays to pay attention to "'
your teeth and gums.


Elisa Mello, DDS and clinical assistant
professor at NYU College of Dentistry
who, with her husband Ramin Tabib,
DDS, established their practice, NYC
Smile Design provides this valuable
insight into dental hygiene.
1. Millions of Americans can crack a ,
walnut with their teeth. While most
adults exert about 20 to 40 pounds of
pressure when their teeth make contact,
millions of Americans exert as much as 250 pounds of
pressure on their teeth enough to crack a walnut. These teeth
grinders are known as bruxers. Bruxism may be mild and
may not even require treatment. However, it can be frequent
and severe enough to lead to damaged teeth, jaw disorder,
headaches, and other problems. To prevent damage to the
teeth, mouth guards or appliances have been used to treat
teeth grinding and. clenching.. ..
2. Bulimia arid acid reflux can destroy tooth enamel. Many
people suffering from bulimia are able to hide the disorder
from others but it is more difficult to keep it a secret from
your dentist. Enamel erosion is a major sign of bulimic
behavior. And acid reflux, whereby stomach acid flows into
the esophagus and mouth, can cause tooth and gum erosion.
3. Swimming in overly chlorinated pools can wear away the
enamel in frequent swimmers. Fluoride treatments -can be
given to help keep the teeth strong. Swimming with a well-
adapted and custom-fitted mouth gu ard. which can minimize
exposure of teeth to chl1gne, also-helps.
4. Soda and citrus drink overuse can be caustic to tooth
enamel. The average American drinks more than 53 gallons
of soft drinks each year, more than any other beverage,
including milk, beer, coffee, or water. Phosphoric acid in soda
and citric acid in citrus drinks can cause tooth enamel
corrosion and the- sugar can cause cavities. .
5. Most people don't know they have bad breath. Dr.
Mello suggests this test: Using dental floss or;a MHE
tongue scrapper, sniff either the floss or the, scrapper. M
If your mouth is clean, you won't have a telltale02 Rairo

smell. (38(

6. Infection and trauma can cause tooth enamel (Out o1
defects. Nutritional deficiencies during infancy,
antibiotic use such as tetracycline, high fever, and Phy

trauma can all lead to tooth enamel irregularities such. as
pitting.
7. Eighty percent of Americans over the age of 35 have some
form of gum disease. It can range from simple gum
inflammation, called gingivitis, to serious disease that results
in damage to the bone. In gingivitis, the gums become red and
swollen. They can bleed easily. Untreated gingivitis can lead
to periodontitis, in which the gums pull away from the teeth
and form pockets of infection. If ignored, the bones, gums -
and connective tissue supporting the teeth are destroyed.
8. One in four adults age 60 and older has lost all of his/her
teeth, A good oral.hygiene program should include twice
daily brushing, flossing, eating a balanced diet, limiting
between-meal snacks. and regular visits to'your dentist for
professional cleaning and oral exams.
New York based restorative and cosmetic dentists Drs. Mello
and Tabib emphasize that treatment for these oral healthcare

teeth-whitening to extensive full-mouth reconstruction. But
