Cave restoration called first of its kind
700 feet within the Cow ... .
Springs cave system, dive
team erases work of vandal
By Vanessa Fultz
A dive crew performed
what's been called the
world's first underwater
cave restoration earlier this
month.
A Brazilian man had al-
legedly carved his initials,
P.Y, into a day bank deep
within the cave system at
Cow Springs last year, ac-
cording to the Suwannee
County Sheriff's Office. The
incident was reported on
Nov. 12, 2008 by another
diver said to have seen the
man, Paulo Y. Matsutoni,

The Lafayette Coun-
ty School District does
not have, or serve, any
of the peanut butter-re-
lated items implicated
in a recent salmonella
outbreak, a school offi-
cial said.
"Based on the infor-
mation we have re-
ceived from the De-
partment of Agricul-
ture, we ,do not have
any of the peanut but-
ter in question," ac-
cording to Joey Pear-
son, the district's direc-
tor of support services.
Peanut butter and
peanut paste sold in
bulk containers by
Peanut Corporation of
America (PCA) pro-
duced in its Blakely,
Ga., processing plant,
has been confirmed as
the source for the re-
cent outbreak of illness
caused by Salmonella
Typhimurium.
PCA sells their
peanut products in
bulk to companies as
an ingredient no PCA
peanut products are
sold directly to con-
sumers. Voluntary re-
calls to all of these
companies have been
issued.
the damage was discov-
ered. Cow Springs is locat-
ed near Peacock Springs.
Wayne Kinard, one of the
restoration divers, called
the vandalism an "eyesore."
"You don't go in there to
look at someone's initials,"
he said by phone Monday.
A diving crew completed
the restoration between Jan
5-7 in two-and-a-half hour
intervals. The work site was
more than 70 feet under
water and 700 feet into the
cave system. The project.

T..U....Y. JANUARY..... 209TH AY.RE.RES.My,.L PAE3
Bless you!! In the south
you can pretty much
count on hearing that
phrase if you happen to
sneeze in public. We bless
lots of things down here:
our food at mealtime, we
have wall hangings to
bless our homes, you can
even criticize someone if
you properly bless him or
her first: "Bless her
heart... she is having a bad
hair day!" Why, I have
even heard of someone
confronting another and
calling it "blessing them
out!" Makes you wonder
how "blessed" they felt
after it was over, where
does all this come from?
In the Middle Ages it
was believed that a per-'
son's heart stops when
they sneeze, so the phrase
"bless you" was meant to
ensure the return of life or
to encourage their heart to
continue beating. Web-
ster's Dictionary defines
the word bless as to "in-
voke divine care for: to
wish prosperity or happi-
ness upon." I guess it
would be considered
prosperous for your heart
to keep'beating, probably
make you pretty happy
too!
The Bible has a lot to
say about being blessed.
In fact, the Hebrew word
for blessed in the Old Tes-
tament actually means
S"happy." Since happiness
is something we all spend
our lives looking' for, it
would be worth our effort
to hear what the Bible
,, says makes us blessed.
Psalm 1:1-2 says this:
"Blessed is the man
.who does not walk in the
counsel of the ungodly or
stand in the way of sin-
ners or sit in the seat of
I.l
iT-
Store
SBC
Matters
mockers. But his delight
is in the law of the Lord
and on His law he medi-
tates day and night."
These verses begin by
telling us what not to do
in order to be happy: first
of all, we are not to walk
in the counsel of the un-
godly. An ungodly per-
son is one who does not
fear or respect God, and
we are instructed to be
careful not to take advice
nor be influenced by
those who make their life
choices "looking out for
number one." "Standing
in the way of sinners"
refers to placing yourself
among those who know
they are doing wrong and
have every intention of
continuing what they are
doing. If we stay in their
company very long, we
risk losing our perspec-
tive that what they are do-
ing is wrong and find our-
selves joining in. This is a
short step away from "sit-
ting in the seat of mock-
ers." We get comfortable
'and move right in with
them, no longer just fol-
lowing their, lead, but
now encouraging others
to follow ours. Honestly, I
believe no one sitting in
the mocker'ss seat" made
that the goal. So how do
we get there? We arrive
by not having God's stan-
dard to live by a solid
base to determine our life
decisions when we are be-
ing pushed and pulled in
every direction.
God gives us the an-
swer over in thq second
part of this Verse, to find
our delight in His Word.
Hear it, read it and pon-
der it until we know how
to make right decisions.
Having a standard to live
Angie Land
by makes the way and the
decisions clearer, al-
though not always easier.
It does however, bring re-
lief, peace, and happiness:
makes us blessed, like our
hearts continuing to beat
after a sneeze, after all
they really do matter!
Blessings, Angie

God Does Not Like Me
How often have you
heard someone say this,
or maybe even said
something like it your-
self ? How many times
have you said God
never answers my
prayers I just can't un-
derstand why my life is
the way it is. I have so
many problems with my
money, my family, my
children, and my health.
I am always worrying
about all of these things,
,or at least one of the
above. I just don't un-
derstand why God lets
these things happen to
me. I am a Christian and
I do believe in Jesus. I
have even read some of
the Bible. I try to go to
church as much as I can.
But I am just so busy,,, I
don't have. time to read
and study the wQrd, the
way I should. However,
I am sure that
God knows that I love
Hin, Because He knows
everything.
Has it ever occurred to
you that you really don't
know Jesus personally,
as your. Lord and Sav-
ior? And that you don't
know much about His
Word? Tell me this, if
you don't know Him or
His Word, how can He
help you when you pray
??
The Word of God says;
MY PEOPLE SUFFER
FROM LACK OF
KNOWLEDGE ;
HOSEA 4:6. It also says
'to STUDY TO SHOW
YOURSELF AP-
PROVED IN: 2ND TIM
2:15. There is a scripture
which states be careful
about sitting under' false
teaching : 2nd PETER
2:1 God wants you to
prosper in your mind, in
your finances, your
health, and your family,
and children. Jesus
proved this when He
said. I HAVE COME
THAT YOU MAY HAVE
LIFE AND HAVE IT
MORE ABUNDANTLY:
JOHN 10-10. Tell me
this, why is it so hard for
people to read and un-
derstand this scripture ?
The only time Satan can
hurt us is when we are
out of God's Word,
which is our hedge of
protection.
God sent His only be-
gotten Son, to suffer and
die for us, so we could
live in prosperity,
health, and peace. And
after we depart from
this world to spend eter-
nity with Him, in heav-
en. If you had the Lord
Jesus. walking beside
you and in your heart
each day, what thing on
this earth would you be
afraid 'of? You would
.have the most powerful
weapon in the earth,
and in the entire uni-
verse at your dispos-
al....a force which is un-
equal beyond your
wildest dreams. Then
use Him, Believe Him,
Know Him, Worship
Him, and seek Him with
all of your heart. He is
waiting for you to open
the door of your heart
and let Him in. No mat-
ter what you have done
in the past. He will for-
give you completely,,,
and never bring it up
again.
You should never
think He doesn't love
you, NO NEVER. Ac-
cording to His Word
nothing can take Him
and His Love from you,
as it is written in : RO-
MANS 8-39, EXCEPT
YOUR REJECTION OF
HIM, (and that's not
easy to do )! He has
promised to always love
you and be there for you
(NO MATTER WHAT ).
It is so easy to start over
again with God. Just
confess your sins to Him,
and ask for His Forgive-
ness and He will always
give it to you...That's
His Promise, and THE
GOD OF GODS, LORD
OF LORDS, KING OF
KINGS, YOUR CRE-
ATOR, AND THE CRE-
ATOR OF ALL THINGS
SEEN AND UN-
SEEN.. CAN NOT
LIE....
All you have to do is
ask, and believe, then
you will receive all of
your godly prayers.
And. when you receive
these things,, give God
ALL THANKS, PRAISE
AND GLORY TO GOD
THROUGH HIS SON JE-
SUS. For Jesus said in
John 16-23, ASK, THE
FATHER IN MY NAME,
AND HE WILL DO IT,...
My brothers & sisters
in Christ this is not my
way, it is the word of
God. And the way of
God, thru His Son Jesus.
Don't just try it one time,
(it won't work). But be-
lieve it, then do. it for
the rest of your life.
Then God can and will
bless you more than you
can imagine.

2008 Lafayette FFA Kick-Off Party and Cake Auction
Submitted: Courtney Reinbott & Cecelia Koon
On September 23, 2008, the Lafayette FFA and
their supporters gathered in the LHS Cafeteria for a
night filled with fun, fellowship, and good food.
Put it this way- the annual Kick-Off Party was a
huge success! After enjoying a great meal, the offi-
cer teams performed the traditional opening cere-
monies. Shortly after, the cake auction began. Our
official auctioneer, Mr. Charles Driver, helped us
auction off nineteen cakes baked by some of
Lafayette County's finest!

We had the privilege of being joined by five of the
eight current Florida FFA State Officers and the State
Advisor, Mrs. Belinda Chason. Trevor Swafford and
John Levi Vann, our two presidents, welcomed Mrs.
Chason to the podium to explain to our guests the
importance of purchasing a Florida FFA license
plate, and how the money will benefit the associa-
tion throughout the upcoming year. We also heard
remarks from our own Area II State President, Miss
Adrienne Boyette, and from the current President,
Mr. Marshall Sewell.
Following. Mrs. Chason and the State Officers,
Mrs. Darica Land was welcomed to the stage on be-
half of the Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr. Charles
Bronson. Mrs. Land explained the challenge Com-
missioner Bronson was extending to Florida FFA
members: a race to see which chapter can sell the
most FFA license plates in the upcoming months. A
portion of the money raised goes directly back to the
Association, which will have an impact on all Flori-
da FFA members' experiences in the upcoming year.
Mr. Angie Ceraso, the faithful Lafayette FFA
Alumni Secretary, gave the annual Lafayette FFA
Alumni Report. The Alumni supports the chapter in
multiple ways throughout the year and helps to pre-
pare for the majority of Lafayette FFA functions. The
money they raise for the chapter helps send students
to contests, pay dues, feed members at convention,
and so much more. '
The Lafayette FFA also elected their Jr. and Sr.
Sweethearts and Kings for the year. These individu-
als will serve as members at large for the FFA and
represent the chapter at all public functions. These
individuals are:
Sr. Chapter- Jared Sampson and Heidi Hendrick Jr.
Chapter- Logan Hewett and Kaleigh Law.
The Lafayette FFA would like to thank everyone
who attended the annual Kick-Off and would like to
extend a special thanks to everyone who baked or
purchased a cake. The money raised will be used
throughout the year to participate in contests, attend
leadership workshops, and partake in a variety of ac-
tivities throughout the year. Every dollar raised or
donated helps! We are extremely blessed as a chap-
ter to live in a community that values agriculture,
agriculture education, and the FFA!
It has previously been noted that thq Lafayette FFA
is blessed to have a community that not only be-
lieves in, but lives out the FFAfs motto:
"Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live,
and Living to Serve."
Because the Hornet nation and surrounding sup-
porters generously gave the FFA over $20,000 during
the 2007-2008 school year, the chapter feels obligated
to show what that money is being used for. Last year
the chapter had three major fundraisers: 2007 Cake
Auction, 2008 North Florida Livestock Show.(Madi-
son), and the Suwannee Valley Youth Livestock
Show and Sale (Live Oak), and Banquet. Sponsor-
ships. The chapter grossed the following:

The 'chapter hopes to continue to expand on the
ways it can assure that all members benefit from the
contributions from the FFA supporters. The chapter
hopes to increase the amount of money spent on
members who earn their trip to the State and Na-
tional Conventions. It also plans to use some money
to upgrade the chapter land-lab. Swine pens are cur-
rently being built for members who cannot house
their pigs at their homes. Last year the chapter was
able to pay dues and jacket expenses for those mem-
bers'who were financially unable to pay. The chapter
continues to be able to meet those needs.
The chapter again thanks its many supporters! If
you are interested in anyway how your can specifi-
cally help the Lafayette FFA Chapters please contact
the advisors at school: 294-1701.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 2009
The Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA)
has announced plans to
re-open enrollment in its
health care system by,
July 2009 to about
265,000 veterans whose
incomes exceed current
limits.
"We're pleased to be
able to offer what has
been called "the best
care anywhere" to many
more new veterans,"
said Dr. James B. Peake,
Secretary of Veterans Af-
fairs. "We'll be able to
provide these newly en-
rolled veterans with the
kind of timely, high
quality health care vet-
erans who already use
our system are accus-
tomed.to."
The change affects
veterans whose incomes
exceed the current VA
means test and geo-
graphic means test in-
come thresholds by 10%
or less. Congress pro-
vided funds in VA's fis-
cal year 2009 budget to
support the new enroll-
ment.
In 1996, Congress es-
tablished a priority-
based enrollment sys-
tem for VA and a uni-
form package of medical
benefits for,all enrollees.
The legislation opened
enrollment to VA;s bene-
fit health care system to
all eligible veterans and
required that each year
the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs assess veterans'
demand for services and
determine if the neces-
sary resources are avail-
able to provide timely,
quality care to all en-
rollees.
Enrollment for the
lowest priority of the
eight groups veterans
who are not being com-
pensated for a military-
related disability and
who have incomes
above a set threshold -
was suspended on Janu-
ary 18, 2003 although
veterans in that priority
group who were, already
enrolled for care were
permitted to remain en-
rolled.
VA originally sus-
pended enrollment for
Priority 8 veterans be-
cause it was unable to
provide all enrolled vet-
erans with timely access
to its health care due to
a tremendous growth in
the number of veterans
then seeking enrollment.
VA now plans to re-
open enrollment for a
portion of these veter-
ans without compromis-
ing the Department's
ability to provide high
quality health care ser-
vices to all enrolled vet-
erans who are eligible
for care.
VA's computer sys-
tems are being modified
to accommodate the
changes, and the De-
partment is preparing
communication and ed-
ucation materials to en-
sure that Congress, vet-
erans service organiza-
tions and the public are
aware of the coming
changes.
"The rule will take ef-
fect by June 30, 2009, if
the regulatory process
proceeds smoothly,"
Peake said. "We look
forward to welcoming
these newly eligible vet-
erans into the VA sys-
tem. VA will continue to
monitor wait times to
ensure the quality of
care is not adversely af-
fected.
Plant shower for
Clint & Sandy Bass
A housewarming /plant shower for Clint and
Sandy Bass at their new home in Lafayette Coun-
ty will be held Saturday, February 7, 4:30-6:30

*The 2009 Football Re-
classifications are now
official. The Hornets as
expected originally have
indeed dropped down to
the 1B classification.
Mayo has been placed in
region, district 2. Dis-
trict 2 will consist of 9
teams. Joining Mayo
will be Hawthorne, Jack-
sonville Arlington Coun-
try Day, Monticello Au-
cilla Christian, Jack-
sonville Cedar Creek
Christian, Hawthorne,
Jacksonville Madarin,
Gainesville Oak Hall,
Garinesville St. Francis
and Orange Park St.
Johns.
For regional honors,
look for FAMU and
Graceville to be the tar-
gets.
*February 4, 2009 will
be national signing day
for college football hope-
fuls. And once again,
there are going to be
some Hornets enjoying
this day. The. Hornets
will have four athletes
signing football scholar-
ships. Sergiio Perez will
sign with Ball State,
Shyler Watson will be
signing with Bethune
Cookman, Casey Brewer
with the:Army at West
Point, and of course, Ja-
maal Reid with the Uni-
versity of Miami.
*Staying with football,
how about those Hor-
nets and head Coach
Joey Pearson at the 2nd
Annual Senior East' vs
West All-Star Football
game in Lake City on
January 17. Although
theyWe0t' iteta)With 7
Hornets athletes, would.
fall 14-13, all the hard-
ware and points would
go the Hornets way for
the second year in a row.
Sixteen teams were rep-
resented to include Co-
lumbia, Madison, New-
berry, Suwannee and
Trinity Catholic. The
first touchdown of the
game came on a Shyler
Morgan 72 yard run.
Morgan would carry the
ball on 4 occasions get-
ting runs of 72, 7, 15 and
10. The performance
would earn Morgan of-
fensive MVP honors.
Completing, the scoring
for the West was Hornets
place-kicker Blade Her-
ring adding two field
goals pushing the West
in front by a score of 13-
0 heading into the final
quarter. On the defen-
sive side of the ball,
Casey Brewer would un-
officially record one
sack, and caused one
fumble, and had 8 tack-
les or assists to earn him-
self the defensive MVP
player of the game. Oth-
er Hornets competing in
the game was JD
Richardson, John Levi
Vann, Garth Sherrell,
Blade Herring and Joey
Mroczkowski.
*A short handed Lady
Hornets basketball team
saw their 59 game district
win streak come to an
end in Gainesville
against a very good Oak
Hall team a little over a
week ago. Oak Hall
came to Mayo with the
hopes of creating a three
way tie at the top of the
district standings. That
would not happen. The
Hornets would clinch
the top seed in the up-
coming district tourna-
ment with a convincing
56-21 running clock tri-
umph. For all those that
have already written off'
the Lady Hornets for a
deep playoff run,. you
may want to look again.
Sunshine Reid would be
all business in this game
scoring 24 points, had 11
rebounds, 3 steals, 7 as-
sists and 5 blocked shots.
But it wasn't just the
stats. It was the leader-
ship by Reid that al-
lowed 9 different Hor-
nets to reach the scoring
column. If Mayo contin-
ues to play the type of
basketball that we saw in
this game, there will be a
state championship ban-
ner hanging in the Hor-
nets gym very soon.
This would also be se-
nior night at the home
gym. We were saying
thank you to our senior
cheerleaders Lisa
Primm, Sarah Davis and
Gabriela Goodson. For
the basketball team,
Coach Blankenship and
assistant Jerry Hill pre-
sented roses to Toquita
Gandy and Taquelia
Macklin.
*Question of the day?-
Who is the only Hornet
in the history of Mayo to
score only point for the
entire football season?
Answer: This past
football season saw John
Levi Vann boot through
an extra point, which ac-
cording to historical re-
search by Vasco Koon,
put Vann in the record
books as the only player
in Hornets history to
score just a single point.
Our continuing cover-
age of the 1958-59 dis-
trict championship team
takes a look at Mr. Curtis
Koon. By the time you
read this article, Curtis
will no longer be part of
the. elible bachler core as
he will. be. getting -mar.-,
ried to Delores Parker.
Curtis would work at
the Ford Company for 5
or 6 years after school at
Valdosta. He would
teach for ah little bit and
helped Coach Ceraso
lead the Hornets JV foot-
ball team to their first
recorded undefeated
season. He spent 9 years

Student Leadership Program
North Florida Community College
and local leaders met to discuss build-
ing a minority student leadership pro-
gram at the college. Members of the
steering committee discussed core val-
ues such as academic achievement,
civic engagement and personal enrich-
ment involved in establishing a. suc-
cessful program for area minority stu-
dents.
The program will assist NFCC's re-
cruitment and retention team, with a
focus on placing minority students in
an environment that accepts and nur-
tures each student- as an individual.
The end result of the leadership pro-
gram is to empower these students to-
become leaders in their own communi-
ties and beyond, .while creating role
models for future NFCC students.
The Minority Student Leadership
Program cohort will consist of 15 mi-
nority students, each receiving a tu-
ition and book scholarship to attend
NFCC. Students will be expected to
move through academic curriculum
independently, following their own
abilities and interests. The group will
meet each month to discuss important
topics such as minority health issues,
personal finance management and per-
sonal: enrichment. 'Each student will
alsoibe expected tob.complete required'
civic engagements, volunteer activities
and mentoring.
Program eligibility is contingent'
upon academic performance and par-
ticipation once in the program. In ad-
dition each applicant will need letters
of commitment from a sponsoring
mentor or group within the six county
service areas' of Madison, Hamilton,
Jefferson, Lafayette,' Taylor and
Suwannee counties.

We often ask ourselves
what happens with chil-
dren who struggle to
thrive and reach their po-
tential. So often we en-
counter a child who lacks
motivation, disregards
friends, withdraws, and
develops a passive atti-
tude towards authority
figtites. In some instances
some depressed children
neglect his or her personal
appearance.
When a child is. chroni-
cally exposed to de-
pressed parents or care-
givers, he or she has the
potential, to become de-
pressed. Because children
learn to view the world
through the eyes of those
who care for them, the at-
tachment between the
child and the depressed
parent is not healthy. This,
therefore, becomes the ba-
sis for feelings of depres-
sion.
A study released by a
group of psychiatrists
from -Yale University
some years ago found
that children of severely
depressed mothers were
three times more likely to
develop major depression
than children of mothers
who had never been de-
pressed. Possible reasons
'include genetic factors,
poor parental skills by the
depressed parents) or
general stress in troubled
families.
Children growing up in
a home where one or both
parents is depressed may.
develop the idea that life
is sad because they do not
know what happiness
looks like. A depressed
parent is emotionally ab-
sent and unable to meet
the child's emotional
needs because the par-
ent's internal emotional
deficit occupies most of
his or her energy and
time. The child may grow
up with the idea that he or
she is not important or
loved.
For children of de-
pressed parents feeling
happy is a source of guilt
because they' are afraid
that their happiness may
make their parents feel
worse. In other cases de-
pressed parents may en-
courage their children to
be happy and successful
in order to make the par-
ent(s) feel better or happi-
er; this child takes this
message literally and cre-
ates unrealistic expecta-
tions that make him or her
feel depressed when he or
she is unable to make the
depressed parents) hap-
py.
Another typical mes-
sage from depressed par-
ents to their children is,
"Do not come to me with
your problems; I have
problems of my own."
The child may interpret
this message as "there is
no one around with
whom to discuss your
concerns," and he or she
may grow up feeling
lonely.,
One cause of depres-
sion among children of
depressed parents is that
the children are unable to
detach themselves from
their caregivers, and this
is often out of guilt. They
feel trapped carrying their
parent's pain or taking on
the impossible responsi-
bility of making their par-

In mental health it .i,
just as important to inter-,
vene with the parent as, it
is to intervene the child
because anything that can
be -done to improve the
parents or the caregiver's
depression will automnti-
cally impact the chil&t'$
quality of life. A large part
of good parenting is,
maintaining our emotioni-

plans are increasingly
popular, now that many
investment-based 529s
are experiencing the up-
heavals of the stock
market, according to a
recent Wall Street Jour-
nal article. For 20 years,
more than 881,000 chil-
dren have been enrolled
in the Florida Prepaid
College Plan and more
than 206,000 students
have used their prepaid
benefits in college. The
Plan is financially guar-
anteed by the State of.
Florida.[1] -
"I'm just really glad
that we did Prepaid,"
said Mr. and Mrs. Brian
Lamb, of Branford.
"We've done it for both
of our boys. We think it
is a wise investment."
Prepaid tuition can be
purchased for children
and grandchildren as
soon as they're born and
up until they are in the
11th grade. Once a Flori-
da Prepaid College Plan
is purchased, payments
do not increase. Prepaid
plans covering dormito-
ry housing, the tuition
differential fee and local
fees also are available.

Once children are
ready for college, their
choice of where to go is
not limited under the
Florida Prepaid College
Plan. The Plan can be
used at Florida's 11 pub-
lic universities, 28 com-
munity colleges (includ-
ing the nine colleges of-
fering baccalaureate de-
grees) and select techni-
, cal schools. Or the
plan's full dollar value,

can be transferred to

and out-of-state col-
leges..

took 30-35 hours to
complete.
Kinard said the
restoration was the first
of its kind. Among the
crew was Michael An-
gelo Gagliardi, a, Chica-
go artist who prepared
tubes of clay in various
colors to match the
cave. The crew swam in
the equipment and
Gagliardi used a caulk-
ing gun to fill in the
area where the initials
were carved.
Kinard said Gagliardi,
was successful at restor-
ing the clay bank to its
original state.
"There are divers that
swam right past it that
have no clue of what's
been done," he said.
Kinard said that Mat-
sutoni has agreed to
make a donation to The
National Speleogical So-
ciety-Cave Diving Sec-
tion, which sponsored
the restoration. Kinard
said he hopes that part
of the money will fund .
a video to educate the
public on the, proper
treatment of caves.
According to SCSO, a
warrant is out for Mat-
stoni's arrest on crimi-
nal mischief charges.
He is believed to be
somewhere in Rio De
Janeiro, Brazil, although
his address is unknown.
Kinard said he and ;
other divers now refer.
to the restored area of
the cave as the Sistine
Chapel, since the artist '
on the project was
named after Michelan-
gelo.

VA assisting Veterans
with Health Care costs
For veterans strug-
gling financially due to
a job loss or decreased
income, the Depart-
ment of Veterans Af-
fairs (VA) offers an as-
sortment of programs
that can relieve the
costs of health care or
provide care at no cost.
"With the downturn
in the economy, VA rec-
ognizes that many vet-.
erans will feel the ef-
fects," said Secretary of
Veterans Affairs Dr.
James B Peake. "There-
fore, it is important that
eligible veterans learn..
of the many ways VA
has to help them afford
the health care they
have earned."
Veterans whose pre-
vious income was ruled
too high for VA health
care may be able. to en-
ter the VA system based,
upon a hardship if their
current year's income is
projected to fall below
federal income .thresh-
olds due to a job loss,.
separation from service
or some other financial
setback. Veterans deter-
mined eligible due to
hardship can avoid co-
pays applied to higher-
income veterans. Qual-
ifying veterans may be
eligible for enrollment,
and receive health care
at no cost.
Also eligible for no-
cost VA care are most
veterans who recently
returned from a combat
zone. They are entitled
to five years of free VA
care. The five-year
"clock'1 begins with
their discharge from--
the military, not their
departure from the
combat zone.
Each VA medical cen-
ter across- the country
has an enrollment coor-
dinator available to
provide veterans infor-

8 Things You Didn't Know About Your Teeth
Oral health is often a window to overall 4-t
health. Evidence supports the link between
poor oral health and such conditions as
stroke, premature birth 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. .. .'
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
AnIericans 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 and 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 guard, which can minimize exposure of teeth to chlorine, 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

6. Infection and trauma can cause tooth enamel defects. Nutritional
deficiencies during infancy, antibiotic use such as tetracycline, high
fever, and 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 uims 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 theteeth 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
problems (an range
from simple cosmetic
services such as
teeth-whitening to
extensive full-mouth
reconstruction. But
remember thitt an
ounce of prevention
is definitely worth a
pound of cure.
