man and woman died as
the result of a single car
roll-over July 21 near
the home of the woman.
Angel Piet Grant, 3'1,
died at Shands at Live
Oak a short time after *
the accident of her in-
juries, according to the
Florida Highway Patrol
report by Cpt. Joseph P.
Sumner. Grant, the
mother of four children,
was a passenger in the
SUV driven by Chritto-
pher Daniel "Chris"
Gaylord, 29.
FHP said the two were
northbound at about 9:55
p.m. on CR 49 just a
half mile south of US- 90
when the 1997 Che% rolet
SUV went into the
southbound lane, left the
roadway and went onto
the. grassy portion of the
road, continued a north-
west pattern of travel
until it hit a board fence,
Sspun around, rolled over
twice and came to a fi-
nal rest on its right side..
Ga\lord died at the
scene. FHP said. Grant
was, transported by
Suwannee County
Fire/Rescue to Shands at
Live Oak.where she died
a short time later, ac-
cording to FHP.
.According to FHP, al-
cohol may have been a
factor in the fatal crash.
"The accident is.possi-
bly alcohol related .due
to the e\ idence at the
scene," said FHP Lt.
Mike Burroughs. Bur-
roughs said the blood al-'
cohol analysis will be
back in about four weeks
and'will confirm or deny
whether alcohol was -in-
volved., Burroughs said
neither was wearing a
seat belt and neither
were thrown out.
Grant was the manager,
.of the. S & S at Ellisville'
for two years and was a
member of St. Francis
Xavier Catholic

Relief for Sinus Headaches
The sinuses are hollow spaces, in the skull. They are located between the
eyes and in the area of the facial cheek bones on both sides of the head.
The sinuses are lined with a mucous membrane that is much like the
membrane lining of the inside of each side of our nose. When bacteria or
viruses settle on this lining, it begins to become inflamed, swell, and
produce excess mucous. If the infection is not treated, the swelling and
inflammation continues.'Another medical term for swelling and
inflammation of the sinuses is acute sinusitis. The sinuses may become
clogged with excess mucous. This produces pain in face and forehead that
we commonly refer to as a sinus headache.
Sinus headache treatment is directed at unclogging the clogged sinuses
and treating the infection. Medicines commonly used to unclog swollen
sinuses are called nasal decongestants. They come as oral tablets and
nasal sprays. Antibiotics may be prescribed, if the infection is believed to
be caused by bacteria. Home remedies that are often effective include
alternating hot and cold compresses held across the sinuses for 20 to 30
seconds. Steam from a hot shower or from a vaporizer may help open
clogged sinuses. Over-the-counter pain reliever medicines such as
acetaminophen or ibuprofen may provide relief as well. 279003-F

Boyd: give the voters a voice
Congressman Allen Boyd
(D-FL) recently joined Con-
gressmen John Tanner (D-TN)
and Zach Wamp (R-TN) at a
press conference to highlight
the need for a fair redistricting
process in the wake of the re-
cent Supreme Court ruling. In
June, the Supreme Court re-
fused to denounce the current,
often politically-tainted, redis-
tricting practice and ruled that
it is allowable for states to
break with the once-a-decade
redistricting tradition.
"Last month's Supreme
Court ruling was a step back
for the American people and
unfortunately did not get us
any closer to establishing a
fair redistricting process," said
Congressman Boyd. "Redraw-
ing congressional district
maps for political gain divides
communities of interest, polar-
izes Florida voters along parti-
san lines, and silences the con-
stituency. We need meaningful
changes in the way we elect
our representatives-changes
that will take redistricting
power away from politicians
and give it back to the people
of Florida where it belongs."
Congressman Boyd is a
cosponsor of the Fairness and
Independence in Redistricting
Act (HR 2642). This legisla-
tion calls for an independent,
bipartisan commission in each
state to redraw congressional
district maps every 10 years
and restricts redistricting ef-
forts from taking place be-
tween census cycles.
Re-districting is traditional-
ly conducted every 10 years,
following the decennial cen-
sus, to ensure equal population
in each congressional district.
Many have come to view the
process as a partisan opportu-
nity to strengthen some in-
cumbencies and weaken the
chances of their political op-
ponents. Due in part to the re-
districting system, 95 percent
of incumbents retained their
US House seats in the 2004
election, and only seven seats
out of 435 changed hands
from one major party to anoth-
er.
The Fairness and Indepen-
dence in Redistricting Act has
been endorsed by FairVote, the
National Taxpayers Union,
and Public Citizen.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
A number of anti-environment members of
Congress are pushing hard to open our coasts
to oil and gas drilling. But have they consid-
ered the true price of drilling off our magnifi-
cent coasts?
Their proposed "solution" to America's ener-
gy problems is ineffective, misguided and
short-sighted, not to mention that it will do
nothing to cure us of our "addiction" to oil.
Offshore drilling would only produce a few
months' worth of fuel that won't even be avail-
able for another seven years.
The meager benefits of drilling are far out-
weighed by the costs and risks:
1) Offshore drilling would produce huge,
amounts of mercury and other toxic pollution
that would threaten marine ecosystems and
endanger public health.
2) Drilling would threaten dolphins, mana-
tees, sea turtles and other sensitive marine
wildlife.
3) The risk is not just offshore-an oil spill
could contaminate Florida's beaches in as little
as 24 hours.
There are faster, cheaper, cleaner and longer-
term solutions to meeting our energy needs in-
cluding increasing fuel efficiency standards,
and expanding our investment in wind and so-
lar power. Unlike coastal drilling, these solu-
tions would start saving families and business-
es money today and protect our coastal waters,
beaches, marine wildlife and economies. Con-
gress must learn to take the long view and con-
sider the true costs of its energy proposals.
Drilling off our coasts is simply not an accept-
able solution to America's energy problems.

GUEST COMMENTARY
A balanced approach to
By Jeffrey Lyash
Last month, Gov. Jeb Bush signed into law the
state's comprehensive plan for a diverse, reliable and
secure energy future for Florida. The Florida Renew-
able Energy Technologies and Energy Efficiency Act
aims to ensure that our state takes a balanced ap-
proach to meeting the energy needs of our residents
over the next generation.
Growth is part of our landscape in Florida. We see
its benefits and challenges every day. But while our
needs to expand roads and schools are often more vis-
ible, the need to plan and build electric facilities for
the future is just as critical fi even though it occurs
largely behind the scenes.
Our state adds 1,000 new residents every day. Small
communities and cities alike are getting larger. Our
homes are also increasing in size-by more than 50 per-
cent, on average, since 1970. With more living space to
cool and heat, more electronics in our daily lives, and
more of us living and working here, we know our sys-
tem of generating and distributing electricity must
grow to keep pace.
When our customers flip a light switch, they expect
the light to come on, with no "all circuits busy" mes-
sage or delay in response. Progress Energy is commit-
ted to ensuring that same level of electric system reli-
ability in the future. The solution is a balance of exist-
ing resources, strategic power purchases, evolving
technologies, increased energy efficiency and new
power plants.
Energy efficiency remains critical
Recently, the State of Florida approved Progress En-
ergy's plan to increase financial incentives for several
energy-efficiency programs we offer to our customers.
The goal is to attract new participants to the pro-
grams, and to continue to educate contractors and
builders on energy-efficient construction, because do-
ing so helps to manage energy resources now and in
the future.
These-programs provide real benefits, not only in
reduced costs for our customers, but in delaying the
need for new power plants. Over the last 25 years, our
customers have saved more than $750 million in ener-
gy costs through participation in efficiency programs-
representing more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours of
electricity that did not have to be generated (roughly
equivalent to the city of Orlando's power use over two
years), and representing a significant reduction in en-
ergy-related emissions.
Investing in renewables and technologies to power the
future
our state's energy future
We continually seek cleaner, newer ways to pro-
duce energy for our customers. We have partnered
with the state and federal government and other com-
panies and agencies in investing in hydrogen fuel-cell
projects, as well as solar projects at schools, around
the state and in other areas, including Florida's first
hydrogen vehicle fueling station.
We've signed a contract to purchase the energy gen-
erated by a planned power plant in central Florida
that will use a bamboo-like grass as its fuel source. Re-
newable biomass generation projects such as this one
can help reduce the need to burn other fuels, and they
provide significant environmental benefits.
Making the most of existing resources .
Meanwhile, we continue to operate the most diverse
mix of power plants in Florida in meeting the needs of
1.6 million households and businesses. That diversity
helps ensure a reliable, affordably priced supply of
electricity even when fuel prices and supplies are
volatile and makes us less reliant on foreign energy
sources. And we're investing to ensure that the gener-
ation of electricity from that mix of resources is ac-
complished in an environmentally sound manner.
Developing new sources of electricity
We also know that even with an increased emphasis
on energy efficiency and more investment in alterna-
tive energy sources, we must plan and build new
sources of electricity generation to meet Florida's
needs.
As previously announced, we're evaluating sites for
new generation (including the possibility of both nu-
clear and clean-coal plants). We're undertaking a
comprehensive process fi one that will lead us to in-
vestments that make the most sense for our customers
and communities. Siting and building power plants,
and the associated transmission, takes many years
and involves many perspectives. Even though we
won't make a final decision to proceed for some time,
we need to act now to keep options viable for the fu-
ture. We expect to name a potential nuclear plant site
in the coming months.
Together, we're working to create an environmen-
tally responsible, balanced energy solution, so that the
reliable and efficient electric system,that brings op-
portunity, comfort and dependability today will con-
tinue to energize our lives, our communities and our
state in the future.
Jeffrey Lyash is president and CEO of Progress Energy
Florida, the St. Petersburg-based electric utility which
serves 1.6 million homes and businesses in central and west
coastal Florida.

* SUWANNEE DEMOCRAT/LIVE OAK
Marshall Frank is the author
of five published books. But in
another life, Frank was busy
gathering life experiences from
which to write. Frank is a re-
tired captain from the Miami-
Dade Police Department. He
served for 30 years in all forms
of law enforcement including
internal affairs, as a homicide
detective and as the current fa-
vorite of all TV buffs, CSI
(crime scene investigator).
According to Frank working
as a CSI is not at all like the TV
show. Real-life CSI do not in-
terview suspects and don't
make arrests. All they do is
process the crime scene and re-
port to detectives working the
case.
Frank has had some interest-
ing assignments as a result of
being a Miami-Dade homicide
detective and captain. He was
asked to give feedback on the
very first Miami Vice TV show.
"I told them it was the worst
TV police show I've ever seen,"
Frank said. "I said that show
will never go anywhere."
Frank has issues with many
TV police shows. "They never
show cops filling out reports,"
Frank said. "That's a large part
ofwhat cops do."
Frank did come out in favor
of Hill Street.Blues. "Hill Street
Blues was the most realistic po-
lice show I've ever seen," Frank
said.
Writing all those reports led
Frank to writing a column for
several North Carolina newspa-
pers. Some of these columns
were eventually compiled in a
book called, "Frankly Speak-
ing."
Frank recently spoke at the
Suwannee River Regional Li-
brary. He held an informal gath-
ering where he spoke candidly
about his life as a law enforce-
ment officer, his writing and his
books.
Frank's newest work is due to
come out shortly. He was com-
missioned to investigate and
write about Islamic terrorism in
the United States.
Frank has written several
crime/suspense novels based in
the Miami area. For more infor-
mation about his work check

Frank, a multi-published author, spoke at
the Suwannee River Regional Library re-
cently about his books and his career in
Miami-Dade law enforcement. Frank was a

the position came about as a
result of combining the in-
surance commissioner with
the comptroller position.-
The person holding the job
serves as the insurance con-
sumer advocate, but doesn't
directly regulate the insur-
ance companies.
"We've had a tremendous
decrease in the percentage of
small businesses that are
able to provide healthcare
for their employees," she
said. "Let's go out and buy
new products. Competitive
products. Affordable prod-
ucts."
She said in that capacity
she'd help individuals trying
to buy property insurance or
small businesses trying to
find affordable healthcare
for employees. She would
also help large businesses
find insurance to.cover their
facility against hurricanes.
After refreshments were
served, Sink dropped in at
Suwannee River Water Man-
agement District to speak
with .SRWMD Assistant Ex-
ecutive Director David Still
about growth management
in the area.
"Even in this part of Flori-
da there are growth con-
cerns," she said. "What I'm
finding is there are many
people when I go to South
Florida saying they're mov-
ing north to get out of the
way of hurricanes."
Sink said Columbia Coun-
ty is one of the fastest grow-
ing counties in the country.
* "And they (water manage-
ment) has to figure out
where their water is coming
from, which is a real chal-
'lenging balancing act," she
said.
After the visit at SRWMD,
Sink headed to Jasper.
Sink.was the president for
Bank of America for Florida
for seven years where she
was responsible for 800
branches and 9,000 people.
She managed $40 billion in *
customer's deposits.
"I'm bringing that type of
. background and financial
experience," she said. "I
want to wake up every day
thinking about the decisions
I make and what I'm going
to do to help the everyday
Citizen in this state to live a
better life."

Last Wednesday, I had one
of the best charters I have
had in a couple of years. I
took Bill Torrey of St. Si-
mons Island, with Monty
Lewis of Thomasville, Ga.,
and we simply had a fantas-
tic day! We had four trout
for the first two hours of the
trip, then in the next two-
and-a-half hours we landed
11 more trout, including two
for Bill over 24.5-inches
long! Not to be outdone,
Monty caught a 25.5-inch
long trout on a seven-inch
pigfish! We caught two reds,
one 24" and one 22" long,
while, we were trout fishing
in 5.5 to 6.5 feet of water!
The reds hit five and six-
inch-long pinfish like they
were starving to death.
At one point Bill took a
sandwich break, and I stood
in forhim. I tied on a Cajun

Summer Dog basketball traveled
to Lake City for a tournament re-
cently. The Dogs faced Lake City,
Hamilton County and Santa Fe in
four games.
Suwannee lost the first game to
Lake City by a large margin. They
played Santa Fe next and beat them
by 12.points. Hamilton County up-
set Lake City and Suwannee pro-
ceeded to upset Hamilton County
by beating them in overtime by one
point 81-80.
Coach Chris Martello said it was
an exciting game.
But Lake City went on to play
Hamilton County in the champi-
onship game and won. Lake City
took the championship with Hamil-
ton second.
Suwannee summer basketball had
as many as 15 upcoming freshman
on the team. Martello said the
coaches have still not decided
which players will go varsity or JV.
"It's going to be interesting for
us," Martello said.
One upcoming freshman, Shawn
Jackson, is a definite for the varsity.
Jackson may only be a freshman
this year, but he is already 6'6" and
200 pounds.. The 2006-07 Suwan-
nee High basketball season should
be an exciting one. The most play-
ers ever participated in the summer
basketball program and plan to
come out for regular-season basket-
ball.

Democrat Reporter
For the first time in quite a
while, Suwannee football
players will be practicing'
twice a day. These "two-a-
days" will start July 31 and
run two days until the play-
ers go to camp Aug. 2. They
will practice at 7 a.m. and
again at 4 p.m.
Coach-Bobby Bennett
plans three-a-days at camp.
The players stay at camp
from Aug. 2-5. Football
camp is traditionally held at
Pickett Lake in Lafayette
County.
When the players return
they have Sunday off and it's
back to two-a-days from
Aug. 7-10.
.. "I don't think the kids
know-what.to think," Bennett
said. "It's a little bit of an
unknown."
The goal of the double
practices is to get the players
fit for the upcoming season.
"It's been a long time since
they've had two-a-days,"
Bennett said. Especially
since school has been start-
ing so early. I think it will
give us a good advantage we
have not enjoyed."
Bennett says it's going
to be a good year

"We're gonna have a real
good football team this year,"
Suwannee High football
coach Bobby Bennett told the
Rotarians at a recent meet-
ing. "Our goal is always go-
ing to be winning the state
championship."
Bennett spoke to the Ro-
tary Club at a regularly
scheduled July meeting and
said although the team's
main goal is to win the state
championship, they have,
smaller short-term goals as
well. Some of these goals
Bennett said are having a
winning season and hosting
the playoffs.
According to Bennett his
program is working to devel-
op a work ethic in the play-
ers. "Football is a great de-
veloper of young people,"
Bennett said. "It prepares
them for life."
Bennett told the Rotarians
that he is preparing the play-
ers for camp. "Football camp
is a good opportunity for the
players to bond, to get to
know their teammates."
"We want to get them past
the threshold of pain," Ben-
nett added about camp. "We
really want our guys to get
mentally-tough as well as
physically. You've got to be
strong-minded to survive."
Bennett spoke about some
of the players'he sees as be-
ing key to a successful 2006
season. Offensively, .Bennett
is looking for Brandon Allen
to be Suwannee's starting
running back along with Jar-
rett Yulee. Bennett has confi-
dence in Tajhuane Roundtree
as the Bulldog quarterback.
On the offensive line, Ben-
nett is looking for Tom
Cheek to step up and is ex-
pecting good things from
Cody Howard at center.

Bennett mentioned two
wide receivers Kenny Clay-
ton and Brandon Cook.
Bennett said Suwannee
will run the split-back of-
fense this season as their
primary formation. Bennett
said there are better throw-
ing options out of the split-
back.
Bennett said Lee Laxton
and Justin Starling will lead
the defensive effort. Jason
Cherry will be the Suwan-
.nee defensive back to look
for along with Collis
Givens. Kenny Clayton will
also be playing DB with
Stephon Cherry as free
safety.
Defensively, Suwannee is
going to try to run a 4-3 de-
fense. "We're going to be a
little smaller this year on
the defense," Bennett said.
"We're looking for more
speed. We're not big
enough to go to the big
game. We're looking for
more movement."
"We expect to have a.
good year this year," Ben-
nett said as he wrapped up

Croquet challenges mind and body
WHITAKERS, N.C.- Michael O'Brien said anyone looking
to compete in a sport that will push their mind and body to the
limits, croquet may be just the game they are looking for.
Croquet?
"Croquet is a challenging game both mentally and physical-
ly," said O'Brien. "You have to possess a reasonable
amount of athletic skills and intellect.
"It's like chess on grass."
However, O'Brien's wife, Daphne, said the
game of croquet is definitely not for the timid. "The pr(
"It's an intense game," she said. "You have
to be mean enough to play the game competi- that finding
tively." player is lii
Croquet is a recreational game, and also, a
competitive sport that involves hitting wooden needle in a
or plastic balls with a mallet through hoops said O'Brif
embedded into the grass playing arena, called a every 1,0
lawn.
The form of the game played by O'Brien, exposed to
Association Croquet, has a complex and exten- one will
sive set of rules that are agreed upon interna-
tionally and is played in numerous touina- jUSt hap[
ments in countries throughout the world. that |
Croquet was invented in Ireland during the
1830s and taken to England, quickly becoming
a favorite pastime of the aristocracy in the 1850s. It eventually
made its way to the United States, Canada, Australia, and
France and although never becoming hugely popular, it has con-
tinued to maintain a substantial following throughout the years.
Croquet was an event at the. 1900 Summer Olympics and
Roque, believed to be 'a variation of the game, was an event at
the 1904 Summer Olympics.
More unusual and easier xariatirns of the game-that have
been invented include Golf Croquet, eXtreme Cloquet and Bi-
cycle Croquet.
However, O'Brien said that Association Croquet should not
be confused with these versions or the back-yard game many
.people associate with the game.
"It's a lot different than playing with a set you can buy at Wal-
Mart," said O'Brien. "That's more like checkers on grass."
In Association Croquet players can take multiple shots in one
turn provided they either hit the ball through the correct hoop
("run" a hoop), or hit another ball. Upon hitting another ball, the
player must play his next shot with the two balls touching. This
is called the "Croquet Stroke," from which the game takes its
name. ,
The winner is the player who, with each of his balls, runs each
hoop twice in order and strikes the.center peg.
"When I try to explain the rules to people, I usually see a look
of confusion of their faces," said O'Brien. "I don't blame them
though, it took me two years to learn to play."
O'Brien first developed an interest in the sport after he and
Daphne moved to Edgecombe County, North Carolina in 1986.
A native of Wilmington, O'Brien was a professional freelance
photographer in Raleigh, working frequently with The News
and Observer and The Associated Press.
Daphne, originally Daphne Hamm of Tarboro, was an English
professor at North Carolina State Uniiver ''sit'! "'1 ''0."'". ', n,
Despite their successful careers in Raleigh, the O'Brien's
wanted to simplify their lives, deciding to move to Michael's
,grandfather's farm outside of Whitakers.
"This is a eighth-generation owned family farm," said
O'Brien. "I always knew that I wanted to eventually move out
here and live.
"So \\e went.the route of Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor (of the
popular 1960s television show "Green Acres")."
;The O'Briens now own and operate Fishing Creek Flower
Farm, a fresh-cut flower business that services florists as well as
customers, as well as leasing out farm land to area farmers.
Daphne is also a freelance writer and editor.
"More editing than writing lately," she said.
:Shortly after moving into their new home, O'Brien purchased
a croquet set for the yard.

"We were bored and looking for some-
thing different to do outside in the
evenings," said O'Brien.
As O'Brien's interest in the game pro-
gressed, he one day happened to come
across an article about croquet in the for-
merly published Southern Magazine.
O'Brien said the article featured a play-

game.
"He said that he was
looking for a place to play in the area,"
said O'Brien. "He told me if I would
build a croquet lawn, he would come and
show me how to play.
"That's how it all started.'"

O'Brien, in true "Field of Dreams" fashion, constructed his
own regulation size (84 feet wide and 105 feet long) croquet
lawn at his Whitakers home, dragging and leveling the lawn
himself and purchasing his own greens mower from a PGA golf
course in Florida.
The result was one of the few croquet lawns in North Caroli-
na, and probably the only one found in the eastern region of the
state.
"I know at' one time this was the only croquet lawn from east
of Chapel Hill to Wilmington," said O'Brien. "It may still be the
only one."
For the next two years, O'Brien and Penwell spent almost
every weekend playing croquet. O'Brien's skill in the game be-
gan to grow. O'Brien eventually began to compete in tourna-
ments throughout the state.
"I got my handicap down to about one and a half," said
O'Brien "That probably put me in about the top fifty croquet
players."
O'Brien said he played his best croquet between the years of
1992 to 1996,; playing in numerous state and regional tourna-
ments and racking up an impressive number of top five finish-
, e s "' :;' '' ,
"I only won one tournament," said O'Brien, "but I have an
impressive collection of second-place trophies."
O'Brien also started the Fishing Creek Croquet Club, whose
membership included Kitty
U Bridgers of Tarboro.

Q: Does the American Dental Association
get iiv,, lv ]r in r i ,: h ii.:.i-
A: The answer is a resounding "yes." The
Ariieii...a Deiii.i Association has been a
i.:a,:. I,:.r rT,.:.. InJ e U,S. toward helping the
millions of Americans who don't have
adequate access to health care. Earlier this
year, for instance, the ADA was one of
thousands of'individuals and organizations
that participated in Cover the Uninsured
Week. The ADA, a non-profit organization
with more than 153,000 members, has
advocated for the public's health and has
promoted the art and science of dentistry
since 1859. The ADA contends that lack of
access to dental care is particularly acute
among children. For every child without
health coverage, 2.6 children lack dental
coverage. The ADA also backs health plans
that could help millions of working
Americans without coverage by, making
insurance benefits affordable for small
employers. The ADA recognizes that oral
health is essential to good overall health.
And the association's seal of acceptance
has long been recognized as important in
the development of safe and effective oral
hygiene products.

until she was in her 70s," said O'Brien.
"That's ilie ml eat thing about croquet, you can play it compet-
itively well past the age that you can play tennis and other phys-
ical sports."
Daphne said that many people who show an interest in cro-
quet are attracted to this aspect of the sport.
"People of all ages can play with the same skill level," she
said. "It is a great equalizer of a sport."
Unfortunately, O'Brien said he doesn't think he will be able
tb pass along his knowledge to his son Anderson, 9.
"Anderson is into golf," saidO'Brien.
However, O'Brien said this does not stop his son from find-
inga goo.d use. Ci-i thle lai\ n.,,
H. "H' ni.ad a hole at one end of the la\in to practice chipping
and putting," id OC'Bien. "This was runbeknoti t nst to me of
course." '
O'Brien said that maintaining the family's business keeps
from playing much these days; however, the lawn still gets put
to good use from time to time..
"Some dinner clubs come out and have parties here and play,"
said O'Brien, "and I have given some lessons here as well."
'However, O'Brien said lie may start to play competitively
again in the future or will revive the Fishing Creek Croquet
Club if he can find people interested in learning how to play the
game.
" The problem is that finding a croquet player is like finding a
needle in a haystack," said O'Brien. "Out of every 1,000 people
exposed to the game, one will like it.
"I just happen to be that one."

Avoid a stroke in just 10 minutes
Residents living in and
around the Live Oak com-
munity can be screened to
reduce their risk of having
a stroke. Life Line Screen-
ing will be at the First Ad-
vent Christian Church on
Friday, Aug. 4. The site is
located at 699 Pinewood
Dr. SW in Live Oak. Ap-
pointments will begin at 9.
.a.m.
A stroke, also known as a
"brain attack," is -ranked as
the third leading killer in
the world, and the second
among women. Through
preventive screenings, the
risk of having a stroke can
be greatly reduced.
Screenings are fast, pain-
less and low cost. They in-
potential health problems
related to: blocked arteries
which can lead to a stroke,
aortic aneurysms which
can lead to a ruptured aor-
ta, and hardening of the ar-
teries in the legs, which are
a strong predictor of heart
disease. Also offered for
men and women, is a bone
volve the use of ultrasound density screening to assess
technology, and scan for their risk for osteoporosis.
I,- .
"It saved my husband
from having a major
stroke." William and Harri-
ett West-Zephyrhills
Each screening requires
10 minutes or less to com-
plete. A complete vascular
screening package, includ-
ing the stroke/carotid
artery, abdominal aortic
aneurysm and ankle
brachial index (hardening
of the arteries) screenings is
$109. Sign-up for a com-
plete vascular package; in-
clude the osteoporosis
screening and pay only
$129.
For more information re-
garding the screenings or to
schedule an appointment,
call toll-free 800-697-9721.
Pre-registration is required.
Life Line Screening was es-
tablished in 1993, and has
since become the nation's
leading provider of vascular
screenings. Over 60 ultra-
sound teams are on staff to
travel to your local communi-
ty, bringing the screenings to
you. These non-invasive, inex-
pensive and painless, ultra-
sound tests help people identi-
fy their risk for stroke, vascu-
lar diseases or osteoporosis
early enough for their physi-
cian to begin preventive pro-
cedures.

PORTABLE GENERATORS!
Many residents who lose power may turn to
Emergency generators to ensure a continuous flow
of electricity to refrigerators, freezers, lights, fans
and other appliances. SVEC urges residents to
exercise extreme caution. While generators are a
convenience in keeping appliances running during
storm-related outages, they can also create hazards
for homeowners aind electric utility workers.
When operating a generator:
* Always operate a generator in accordance with your house to receive power directly from a portable generator

Summer Harvest
Scalloping in Taylor County Coastal Waters
Taylor County is one of the
few places in Florida where
you can harvest your own
scallops. You'll .find scallop-,
ing opportunities along .our
entire coastline, including
Keaton Beach, Hagen's Cove
and Steinhatchee. This
unique activity is fun for the
whole family and requires
minimal resources to get
start- -.a
ed.
It's relatively simple, and
after spending an afternoon in
the water searching out scal-
lops, you can enjoy the fruits
of your labor that evening for
supper.
Scallop season runs July 1
through Sept. '10. Basically,
the only materials you need
for scalloping are a snorkel
mask, fins (or water shoes)
and a mesh bag
to hold
your
catch.
O n c e
you' re
geared
u p
you'll
.need a
boat to
take
you
out, a
dil her's flag to
snorkel in the water and a
recreational saltwater fishing
license to keep things legal
(the license is relatively inex-
pensive and easy to acquire).
Whether you jump on a
boat with a friend or rent your
own', steer the watercraft out
of the river, away from fresh
water and into the grass flats.
Scallops congregate in shal-
low water hidden in manatee
and turtle grass. If you see a
large group of boats in a cer-
tain area, chances are they've
found a "sweet spot" with lots
of scallops. You should have
some luck around the same
vicinity. If you see one scal-
lop shell, there's bound to be
more around. (Hint: Before
you head out, ask around to
find out where the hot spots
are for the season. Word trav-
els fast in a small town, so
most of the locals who hang
out around the docks and the'
marina employees should be
in the know.)
Of course, not everyone an-
swe'rs the call of open waters.
Those who aren't yet ready to
test their sea legs should try
their luck at Hagen's Cove,
\\here ',ou can join hundreds
of other landlubbeis Wading
into shallow waters in search
of scallops.
After you've pulled in your
fair -share (the limit is two
gallons of whole scallops or
one pint of meat per person;
10 gallons of whole scallops
or 1/2 gallon of meat per
boat), head back to shore to
get them cleaned. Before you
begin the task of cleaning
your catch, be sure to get
some instruction. to help
move things along. You might
have thought it easy enough
to get them out of the water,
but it's not so simple getting
scallops to come out of their
shells. What you'll need: a
place to set up shop (most
marinas have ample facili-
ties), a knife or other sharp
flat object to open the shell, a
spoon to scoop out the scal-
lop and a container to hold
the meat. Although it caii tke
up to three hours to cleat! a
boat's linit of scallops, most
folks find that the time passes
much faster with, a little mu-
sic, a few cool drinks and lots
of good friends.
Should

and

the
ex-

there are.usually a few locals
hanging around the docks that
will do your dirty work for
you. They typically charge a
small fee, usually $3.50 -
$4.50/pint. Whatever means
you choose, the outcome \\II
be the same a delicious meal
of succulent scallops that you
caught yourself.

Summertime
By: Capt. Brian Smith,
Big Bend Charters
Is it me or is it just hot! I'm
drinking a gallon and a half of
water each day on the water
and still feel like cotton when
I arrive back at the dock. If
you are going out, bring am-
ple water and then some, just
in case the trip is longer than
expected due to a break down
or more hopefully, a bounty of
fish. Dehydration is a serious
consideration this time of
year. I have a heat gun on-
board, and I measured deck
temperatures of over 115 de-
grees. It is hot, so do bring a
couple of extra gallons of
fresh. water for insurance.
Well enough about the weath-.
er, let's talk fishing... Water
temps are at 88 degrees! It's
hot for the fish, too. Neverthe-
less, kingfish are still hanging
around. I'm not talking about
the 10-12 lb 'snake' kings; I'm
referring to a good king of 30
pounds or more! How do you
catch them you ask? Find an
area 6-12 miles offshore
where the bait fish are flutter-
ing on the slick seas ofsum-
mer and start chumming. I use
left-over bait and chop it up
but you can buy the frozen
blocks as well. Keep the slick
steady but light. I set one live
bait back on a float rig and an-
other free-lined; both on the
stem. Then I put out two bot-
tom rigs on the forward rod
holders (one port the other
starboard), loaded with a
frisky livey. One cannot beat a
live blue runner by the way.
Now you can sit and wait for
the action, but. an excellent
'time killer' is to drop down
some squid and catch some
grunts, sea bass and porgies in
the mean time. Not only does
this put some delightful fillets
in the fish box, but activates
the area making it far more at-
tractive to the big game fish,
cobia,. kings, as well as,
grouper. Catching reef fish is
a-win-' in situation, even if it
is just catch and. release. Fish
going up and do"~ n in the wa-
ter colunn drax s in the larger
predators. Be patient. Re-
member, we aren't going for
quantity but quality. Howev-
er; if something doesn't hap-
pen within an hour or so, try
another spot and do the same
thing. Sooner or later your re-
ward w-ill swim by and give -
you a thrill Grouper fishing
is fne. Here's the scoop

double over. In the middle of
all that mayhem, either toss a
marker jug or punch mark on
the GPS and anchor up on the
spot once things settle down.
Remember, one hot spot (not
referring to the deck) can
make.the day.
While bopping around off-
shore this week, schools of
dolphin fish have run by the
boat. Be prepared with light
tackle spinning rods. Ready is
this...the main line tagged
with a 15 lb leader line at-
tached to a single 1/0 hook
and a small bucket of chopped
up squid or fish in the cooler.
Once you see the school,
throw out a couple handfuls
of chum to keep the fish
around the boat. Then break
out the light tackle with the
same chunks. When.the fish
stop biting the chunks of
meat, switch to small jigs,
small live bait (if.you have it),
or small spoons or plugs. The
dolphin aren't very big but
they are a tasty rendition to
'the cooler. Trout are still hold-
ing in' the deep grass beds.
Jigs and strips of pinfish or
mullet are a good bet worked
low and slow through the bed.
Always drift a live bait behind
the boat; one never knows
what will hit the live bait. It
may be a trophy trout or
something that loves to eat the
trout. Use' a steel leader if you
care to land a shark, if not use
mono-filament and you might
pick up a beautiful tarpon or a
cobia may make your day.
Redfish are always around. I
would drift silently up the
creeks on an incoming tide
and work the banks with gold
spoons or spinner baits like a
bass fishermen. The waters
are gin clear so accurate and
long cast lend to better suc-
cess. Don't spend your time
fetching lures off the bank
due to poor casting. Anyway,
things are still bending poles
and the scallops are abundant
in Steinhatchee, come see us
soon. Take good care of the
family, the. boat and your
tackle.
Seafood cooking made easy
Do you know'that one to
two servings of fish per week
can have measurable health
benefits, according to many
doctors and dieticians? This is
due in large part to the omega
3 oils found in many types of
seafood, including salmon,
tuna and other heartier fish.,
Omega 3 oils are valuable in
the fight against coronary dis-
ease, high blood pressure,
arthritis, asthma and depres-
sion. What's more, seafood is
one of the only types of food
that contains these oils in high
quantities.
Despite its many health ad-
vantages, people oftentimes
do not consistently add
seafood to their list of home-
cooked foods. One reason may
be that the'. believe seafood is
difficult'to prepare. On the
contrary; cooking seafood can
be as easy as some of your
standard menu items, particu-
larly if you rely on products
and recipes, that l ill nmake cre-
ating inningig dishes that
much easier. In fact, it can be
as simple as removing a fillet
from an individual vacuumed
package and placing it on the
grill, in the oven or in the mi-
crowave.
CHOOSING SEAFOOD
SAlways choose seafood
that is bright -and shiny, with
most of its scales intact and
adhering tightly to the skin.
Each species has characteristic
markings and colors which
fade and become less pro-
nounced as the fish loses
freshness. If you do not have a
seafood merchant in your area,
consider seafood that has been
prepared and packaged to
maintain freshness and flavor.
STry to cook fresh seafood
-within a day or two of pur-
chase.
Seafood typically cooks
faster than meat or poultry.
Sometimes you can enjoy a
seafood dish'within minutes of
cooking. Therefore, it's great,
in a pinch or when you're in
need of a fast meal.
.. Seafood is often lighter
fare than meats, making it par-
ticularly appealing for warm-
weather entertaining or for the
health-conscious.
Seafood has many health benefits and is now easier than ever to incorporate into everyday meal
planning.

this even more of a reality. A regular exposure can do great
damage to even the most physically fit human body.
As eliminative channels continue to be under a constant
onslaught, particularly the colon, those channels can gradually
begin to break down and malfunction, causing a'host of
digestive problems.
COLON FUNCTION AFFECTS THE ENTIRE BODY
Colon health should be taken seriously. Doctors say a healthy
colon will produce 2 to 3 bowel movements per day. But for
many this is riot a reality. Inr many ,cases, all waste is not
expelled from the body for.days, weeks, months or even years
later. The resulting toxic buildup can lead to a self-poisoning
known as auto-intoxication, which happens when the bowel
walls become encrusted with stagnant fecal matter. As more
toxins build up, vital nutrients are not able to .be absorbed
through the intestinal wall. Problems including acne, weight
gain, poor circulation, depression, body odor, bad breath and an
overall loss of energy, vitality, and health may be attributed to a
improperly functioning colon.
A colon thick with plaque is likely to become even more so
depending on a person's diet. Refined preprocessed foods with
preservatives, artificial colors and artificial flavors traditionally\
contain extraordinary amounts of toxic substances. Ho\\ foods
are cooked also plays a role, as deep frying in oil or grilling over
an open fire can leave food increasingly susceptible to harmful
toxic substances.
lends a feelingof fullness. Therefore, diets can fail and a person may
overeat when nutrients are not being absorbed .effectively by the
body.
Additionally, a colon that is clogged with waste contributes to
excess weight on it's own. A proper detoxification typically flushes
out between 5 to 15 pounds ofcompacted fecal matter -',which
makes a big difference on the scale and greatly improves absorption
of necessary nutrients. Perhaps the most well-known case of a
clogged colon is with'the famed Western star John Wayne. Upon his
death, doctors discovered Wan new's colon weighed 25 pounds.
GETTING CLEANSED
One of the problems in combatting toxin buildup in the colon is
the misconception that cleansing procedures are both invasive and
embarrassing. Much of that stigma can be blamed on colonies, a'.
cleansing procedure where the large intestine is irrigated with water
.under gentle pressure as a mean of detoxification. Such a procedure
is rarely met with open ann-S.as is reputation often precedes it.
Fortunately, colon cleansing might now grow more common
thanks to a new, less invasive and more individual option that can be
done right at home. Reguluxv' was designed specifically for those
skeptical of traditional colon- cleansing procedures. It is available in
convenient pill form, making it both easy-to-take and discreet.
Scientifically formulated to flush out the digestive tract, Regulux
removes the same energy-draining toxins that build up on the bowel
\\alls. maintaining healthy colon function, while promoting a
healthier intestinal lining.
As an added bonus, Regulux is made of all-natural ingredients
traditionally used to detoxify the liver, skin, lungs kidneys, and
heart, meaning you won't be ingesting the same toxins your body is
hoping to expeL Such ingredients play a large role in the ability of
Regulux to deliver the following benefits as well:

Survival tips for parents of college-bound kids
(ARA) You once
savored that wonderful
time of the year when
your youngsters went
back'to school. Ah, the
free time ... at last some
emotional and. financial
relief from keeping the
kids entertained
throughout the summer!
But now your bundle of.
joy is college-bound aiid
you both face new,
monumental challenges.
In a recent study by
Key Education
Resources, 66 percent of
parents are surprised by
the cost of ancillary
expenses like books,
utilities, groceries,.
entertainment, cell
phones, computer
software, transportation
and.travel. If it/s
starting to look like
your only hope of
/
continued solvency is to
disown your offspring,
don't despair. With
planning and creativity,
you can both survive
back-to-school days at
the college level.
Here are five tips to
take you through that
first, most challenging
semester:
1. Buy all your child's
needed books at the
beginning of the
semester. Buying books
immediately will help
your student stay on
top of reading
assignments and avoid
the stress of hunting for
out of stock books. If
the cost of buying new
on campus leaves you
gasping for air, consider
buying used or discount
shopping online.
2. If your family tells
you how proud they are
that Tommy or Susie is
college bound, smile
sweetly and ask them to
get involved. Encourage
everyone to gather up
loose change
throughout their homes
- the average American
household has about
$99 in spare change -
and donate it to the
cause. Equip your
youngster's dorm room
with a coin jar where
your new freshman can
also save spare change.
Get free coin counting
now at supermarket
Coinstar machines by
applying the coins
toward gift certificates

of particular interest to
college students, like
Amazon.com, iTunes,
Eddie Bauer, Pier 1
Imports. Linens 'n
Things,.
Borders / Waldenbooks
and even Starbucks. To
find a Coinstar location
near you, visit
www.coinstar.com.
3. Forego the cost of
putting a telephone in
your student's
apartment, or dorm
room, since he or she
probably already has a
cell phone. Parents can
pre-load minutes on
pay-as-you go plans to
prevent unexpectedly
.huge cell phone bills.
Plan regular calls home
during free-minute
times like evenings and
weekends.
4. Set up a prepaid
VISA or MasterCard as
their primary money
source and limit their
credit card for
emergency use. Prepaid
cash cards teach
budgeting and can be
set up for rapid money
transfer from home.
Coinstar machines offer
a pay-as-you-go card
where you can set up a
dual account. Parents
load at the machine or
online, and the students
can immediately use the
card. Encourage and
help him or her to stay
within budget, rather
than building debt
through the emergency,
credit card. Make sure
he or she is aware that
credit card companies
may come on campus to
solicit business. No
matter how good the
introductory deal may
seem, irresponsible use
of a credit card will
have them (or you)
paying for their largess
for years to come.
5. Reduce student
stress levels by
encouraging your child
to establish good study
habits such as planning
a routine time to study,
showing up for every
class, using on-campus
study.resources and not
overloading themselves
with a heavy schedule.
Promote better listening
in class by arming your
child with a tape
recorder. The recorder
will help ensure he or
she doesn't try to write
down every word the
professor says, but
rather listens to the
whole lesson and
focuses on key points
for later review.
