Glucosamine may restore weakened cartilage
Glucosamine is found naturally in cartilage. Its purpose is to create
cushioning fluids and tissues around body joints. Cartilage acts as a
cushion between the bones and permits smooth joint movement.
Glucosamine may stimulate the building-blocks of cartilage, as well as
work as an anti-inflammatory. Osteoarthritis is a condition which results
from joint wear and tear. Cartilage functions to cushion the joints, and in
osteoarthritis cartilage is deteriorating. This deterioration leads to pain,
swelling, and loss of movement. Glucosamine may delay further joint
degeneration, and help restore weakened cartilage.
While glucosamine shows promise as a treatment for pain associated
with osteoarthritis, available data from human trials have not been
conclusive. Long term studies are needed tobetter understand the effects
of glucosamine. Alternative treatments for people suffering from
osteoarthritis include acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is recommended
for osteoarthritic pain. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as
ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), and aspirin may also be
helpful in relieving osteoarthritis associated joint' pain. Taking
glucosamine may reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medications for
some persons. 294988-F

Continued From Page 1A
ficer Tom Gallagher locally in the Republican prima-
ry for governor on Sept. 5.
At press time, statewide returns show Crist leading
65% to 32%, with 46 of 67 counties reporting.
Crist garnered 1088 votes (55 percent) to Gal-
lagher's 805 votes (41 percent) in Suwannee County.
The race was heated from the state, with Gallagher
accusing Crist of being too liberal and Crist suggest-
ing that Gallagher's recent shift to the right was a
ploy to win support among conservatives. In past
campaigns for governor, Gallagher has cast himself
as a moderate. This time, however, he presented him-
self as a conservative in the mold of Gov. Jeb Bush.
If early statewide returns hold up, Crist will face
the winner of the Democratic gubernatorial primary,
Congressman Jim Davis of Tampa of State Senator
Rod Smith of Gainesville. That race was too close to:
call at press time.
The remaining votes from Suwannee Countians
were divided between Vernon Palmer and Michael
W. St. Jean. St. Jean received 35 votes (2 percent)
and Palmer, 28 votes (1 percent).
Smith
Continued From Page 1A
Suwannee County voting Sept. 5.
Smith garnered 2,373 votes to ,Davis'
1,117, a margin of 59 percent to 28 percent.
However, early statewide returns show .
Smith trailing Davis 47 percent to 41 percent. 6';
The remaining votes from Suwannee ''
Countians were distributed among three dark
horse candidates. Carol Castagnero received
257 votes, or 6 percent of the total; Glenn
Burkett; 197 votes (5.percent); and John M. Davis
Crotty, 97 votes (2 percent).
Smith won easily in all 16 local precincts,
as well as among absentee and early voters.
The race between Smith and Davis turned
nasty in the closing weeks of the campaign. .
Davis accused Smith of being a pawn of the I'
sugar industry, and Smith criticized Davis for.
neglecting his congressional duties to manage
Shis gubernatorial campaign.
If the statewide returns hold up, Davis will
face the winner of the Republican gubernato- Smith
rial primary, which will likely be Attorney
General Charlie Crist.

Galindo is charged in the
March 12, 2005 fatal crash at
CR 49 and 256th Street that
occurred at about 2:12 p.m.
that day. Galindo allegedly
was driving a 1991 GMC
pickup truck that failed to
stop at the stop sign at CR 49,
FHP said at the time. The
truck, Weaver said, failed to
stop as it headed eastbound
on 256th Street, striking a
1999 SUV driven by Dorothy
Courtemanche, 42, of
McAlpin. Courtemanche and
three others in the SUV were

A third person, Laura Doreen Cannizzaro,
37, 12386 196th Terrace, was arrested Sept.
1 in the case. Cannizzaro was charged with
trafficking in and cultivation of cannabis.
She was released after posting bond.
After leaving the residence with the mari-
juana and equipment, the Task Force
stopped for photos
at the corner of US
129 and Brannen
Road. A number of
vehicles came by,
slowed, and some
drivers and occu-
pants yelled out, "I
see you found the
Cannizzaro source of that
smell!" Two
women stopped,
jumped out and one took photos of the mari-
juana while they gleefully celebrated the
seizure.
The seizure is one of the largest in recent
years.

shot the approach. Victoria
Clark said the victim told her
to put the boat in neutral, but
she did not know how to do
that or how to speed up, the
report said. At this point Victo-
ria Clark said she shut the mo-
tor off and attempted to reach
her husband with a-push pole,
but he did not grab it, the re-
port said. She then threw it to
him and jumped into the wa-
ter, but the victim, who she
said had only one lung, was
already blue in the face, ac-
cording to the report. She
could not find her husband
and by this time the vessel had
drifted away from her, the re-
port said. Victoria Clark then
floated in the water with the
,pole until she was rescued by
Randal Skinner about an hour
and a half later, the report said.
Dan Clark's body was recov-
'ered by the United States
Coast Guard about four hours
later,
mother, Barbara Evans, 67, of
McAlpin, died in the crash.
The driver of the pickup
fled on foot.
Weaver said FHP CpL John
Dale investigated the case -
and determined that Galiindo,
who is allegedly in the US il-'
legally, was the driver and
filed charges against him.
Fourteen months after the ac-
cident, Weaver said FHP re-
ceived a letter from Galindo
confessing and apologizing
for the accident, but didn't
turn himself in. Recently
Deputy Joy was called to in-

Weaver said Galindo was tak-

But not quite. According to a
report by the Florida Highway
Patrol, when the man driving
the vehicle, James Claude
Strickland, 44, of Pinetta in
Madison County, got to the
CSX railroad tracks with
Willis in pursuit, he abruptly
attempted to slow quickly and
turn west alongside the rail-
road tracks in his attempt to
flee the deputy.
Willis, in a marked 2006
Chevrolet Impala Suwannee

vehicle, struck the left side of
Strickland's vehicle. FHP said
at this point Strickland jumped
from his vehicle and fled the
scene on foot. Willis also
jumped from his vehicle and
apprehended Strickland a
short distance away.
Neither the deputy nor
Strickland were injured in the
accident that took place on the
CSX tracks.
FHP said alcohol was a fac-
tor in the crash and that
Strickland was not wearing
his seatbelt when the crash oc-
curred. FHP said charges re-
lating to the accident are
pending the results of a blood
alcohol analysis on Strickland.
Willis charged Strickland
with battery (domestic vio-
lence), fleeing and attempting
to elude a law enforcement of-
ficer and resisting arrest with
violence.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I want to respond to the letter concerning the cruelty
and the chaining up of dogs in our.town. I agree \ ilth the
writer 100 percent. I have wanted to write concerning
this very subject and shamefully have ust put it off.
I have lived here for 16 years, and have irnessed the
shameful treatment.of animals first hand. I have stopped
many a time and pulled them-off the road iust afterthey'
have been hit. I ha e picked up several and taken them.
somewhere to be looked after, just this morning I took
food to two cats that have taken up refuge at one of our
refuse sites. '.. ..
There are three bulldogs chained up at a.house that I
pass every day, two of them have been chained since
they were puppies. I have never seen anyone pet them. Ii
have never seen the kids that ii\e there play with them. I
have had to stop several times and alert the family when
they ha\e gotten into entanglements with a fence or bi-
cycle. I have seen them out in the rain and in the cold. It
breaks my heart to see any animal mistreated and hav ing
three dogs chained continuously is mistreating them, no
matter what anyone says. Our county pound says that as
long as they are fed arid have a roof over their head. he\.
at least they are not going hungry, well, animals need
more than that. ,
Like the writer said, they need to be touched, and
shown love. T have animals of my oLw n and if I could not '.
: do an\ better than to chain them I would not ha\e them.
I have been tempted man\ times to talk to the people, but
with the world the way it is. you ne\er know.
\We need new la\-s here in Live Oak concerning ani-
mals, the old ones are -a\' outdated.
Thanks.

COMMENTARY
Case of post-Paramount depression?
-." Two events happened recent-:
ly, that I immediately put in my
"I dor't give a. tiny rat's patoot"
folder.
First, Tom nCruise and Para-
mount Pictures parted wavs. It
was spread across the country
like ever- plumber, farmer and
Dwain Walden bus driver in the country iere
sitting on pins and needles into
the wee hours of the morning waiting to digest
this morsel of insignificant bilge. Miuch more imrn-
portant to me are all those people who are about
to be separated from the auto industry. :
"Oh my, the perils of little To6m:!"
Cruise apparently, ticked off the Paramount :
.folks with his off-screen antics that allegedly
were ridiculous. I really couldn't say, whether
they were ridiculous' or not since I don't watch
.,;Entertainment Tonight because most of the stuff
they talk about simply isn't entertainment to me.
Don't care who has a new hairdo nor do I care
which old guy has married \-hich young starlet.
But I do recall Cruise ridiculing Brooke: Shields
because she had to take medication for post
partem depression. I suppose now she gets the
last laugh as Cruise deals with his post-Para-
mount condition.
Then came the announcement that the "Miss
America Pageant" has moved back to Las Vegas.
And it will be aired on Country Music Television
... again. I'm just guessing that the: Home Shop-
ping Neftwork and the Science Fiction channel
were outbid.
I have never understated my disdain for
pageants. I was a judge in a Little Miss pageant
many years ago, and I slipped out the back door
after I saw how some of the parents acted with
our panel's decision. Geez!, You would have
thought these seven- and eight-year-olds were
competing for a new Corvette when all the win-
ner got was a bouquet of flowers and a box of
candy. I vowed to never again be a judge in a
pageant or even to attend one short of being tied

up and dragged in.
Art Mcc Iaster, chief honcho of the pageant, said
the pageant would stick with the back-to-basics
makeover that producers delivered in,2006, scut-
tling a plan announced'in April to incorporate el-
ements of reality television into the pageant.,
'I don't really care, but I wonder how they
would ha\ve worked reality .television .into a
pageant? Would the contestants have. engaged in
Smud wrestling and eating worms while appeal-
ing for world peace in thongs?
To me using the phrase "pageant" and "reality"
in the same sentence is a great, contraction in
terms. At best it would be an instance of finding
two lost words and declaring in a single sentence
that they were now accounted for.
Back to Tom Cruise. Paramount Pictures said
They felt his antics had a negative impact on the
bo\ office receipts of ."Mission Impossible Three."
I would rather think that the box office thing was
a restilt of a lousy movie, not so much about
Cruise jumping up and down on the sofa on the
Oprah Winfrey Show. Those kind of sequels tend
to run out of appeal after about the 40th explo-
sion.
Oh well, I've just seen two great westerns star-
ring Robert Duvall "Open Range" and "Broken
Trail." Duvall apparently doesn't act stupid. off
the set. He's managed to do great performances
for many years (he's now in his 70s) without
drawing negative publicity toward himself,
Of course I defend Tom Cruise's right to act sil-
ly and.stupid and even to make outlandish state-
ments to his little heart's desire. I just don't care if
he has been booted.by Paramount as a result of
those actions. His nest, his choice. We have a
right to make choices.
Maybe he can emcee the 2007 Miss America
pageant. And maybe he can tell those who lose
that they don't need drugs to get over their der
pression after the event.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Con-

about encouraging citizens to attend
one of four remaining workshops
around the state to examine legal op-
tions for challenging the agency 's
rules.The remaining workshops in
Tampa, Ft. MNI ers,. Daniia Beach arid
Key Largo will explain the rule-chal-
lenge process to conservation and in-
dustry leaders and the public, then
evaluate whether changes can or should
made.
The FWC adopts rules through the
authority it has under the state cbnstitu-
fion and from the legislature through
Florida statutes. Rules adopted under
the agency's constitutional authority
aren't subject to administrative chal-

minimum size
limit takes effect
Snook season reopened Sept. 1, and
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conserva-
tion Commission (FWC) issued a re-'
minder recently thaf it has added an inch
to the snook minimum size limit.
The FWC approved a rule in June to
increase the snook minimum size limit to
27 inches total length. Previously, the
minimum size allowed for snook harvest
was 26 inches.
The FWC passed the new rule to com-
plement another new regulation, which
took effect July 1. That regulation re-
quires snook to be measured by deter-
mining the straight-line distance from the
-most forward point of the head with the
mouth closed, to the farthest tip of the
tail with the tail compressed or squeezed
together, while the fish is lying on its
side.
Increasing the snook minimum size
limit by one inch compensates for a
slight increase in length some anglers
may achieve when measuring snook this

On a hot, blistering afternoon, Melody
W\ Idcats recently kicked-off its soccer season
against conference defending champs, Corner-
stone Cougars.
Melody came out strong even though the
Cougars scored, its first field goal minutes into
the game.
However, Melody didn't give up. Danny
Proctor scored the Wildcat's first goal of the.
season off of a penalty kick in the middle of
the first half.
By the second half, the Cougars had a 5-1
lead, but the Wildcats put up a strong fight.
Murphy Chancey, one of the youngest mem-
bers of the team, held his own against the
Cornerstone Cougars.
SKolby Bispham, one of five seniors on the
team also made a valiant showing.
First year goalie, Brendan Kirby, played a
strong game and made close to 20 saves.
The final score was 6-1.

giving the Dogs their first
lead, the other for 58 yards
and a touchdown to ice the
game at 2:53 of the fourth.
Cherry did it all for the
Dogs, playing numerous
positions, all of them well.
Other offensive standouts
included senior Kenny
Clayton, who made a fine
catch f6r the Dogs' first
touchdown, and junior run-
ning back Jarrett Yulee,
who recorded 31 yards on
10 carries. Quarterback
Travis Westberry, making
his second start in place of
.the injured Tajhuane
Roundtree, completed six of
10 passes for 64 yards with
one touchdown and one in-
terception. Westberry man-
aged to avoid at least three
sacks by throwing the ball
away while in the grasp of
Episcopal defenders.
The Suwannee defense
may have been the real hero
of the game, however. The
Dogs allowed no points on.
defense until the final 14
seconds of the game, when
Episcopal made it close
with a three-yard touch-
down run by senior fullback
Orlando Evans. Suwannee
recovered the onside kick to
snuff the threat.
The Dogs held Episcopal
to 111 total yards, 48 on the
ground and 63 in the air.
Junior lineman Justin Star-
ling had a fourth-quarter in-
terception that led to the
Bulldogs' first touchdown.
Starling led all tacklers
with 11 stops. Junior line-
man Wallace Smith had 10
and senior linebacker Lee
Laxton, nine. Junior defen-
sive back Stephen Cherry
and senior lineman Ed-
waynte Jones each recorded
seven.
The game began on a
sour note for Suwannee. Af-
ter the Dogs' opening drive
stalled, a high snap sailed
over the head of punter
Casey Brewer and into the
end zone, where Brewer fell
on the ball for a safety at
10:15 of the first quarter.
After the free kick from
the 20, it was four-and-out
for the Eagles, and the
Dogs got another shot. But
the offense sputtered again.
The teams traded punts for
the remainder of the half,
which ended with the Ea-
gles ahead 2-0.
And so it remained until
seven minutes into the
third. Jason Cherry's 35-
yard punt return gave the
Dogs a first and 10 at the
Episcopal 25. A second-
down pass from Westberry
to Brandon Cook took the
ball to the Eagles' 16. Bran-
don Walker ran to the 12
for a Bulldog first down,
and Jarrett Yulee got it to
the four before the drive
stalled. Then came Boggus,
a first-year kicker, to give
Suwannee its fist points of
the season at 4:42 of the
third. It was Boggus' first
points ever for the Bull-
dogs. The Dogs led 3-2 and
never trailed again.
Suwannee's next scoring
drive began with Starling's
interception of a tipped
pass at the Episcopal 47
midway through the fourth.
Justin VanEtta made the de-
flection that led to the pick.
The Eagles, with only a 24-
man roster, were clearly be-
ginning to tire. Allen picked
up 14 with a run to the 33,.
then gained 13 more for a
Bulldog first down at the
20. Three carries later,
Allen had the Dogs at the
Episcopal five. A loss to the
10 led to fourth-and-goal,
and it appeared Suwannee
would call on Boggus
again. They went for it in-
stead. What followed was a
thing of beauty. With de-
fenders closing in, Westber-,
ry fired to Clayton,,who
made a diving grab in the
end zone for Suwannee's
First touchdox\ n of the, sea-
son. The point-after failed
and the Bulldogs led 9-2
with 4:14 remaining.
A fired-up Marcus Walker
set the tone for the next de-
fensive series with a crush-
ing tackle of Episcopal full-
back Orlando Evans at the
Eagles' 22 on the kick-off.
The Eagles lost 12 yards on
their next three plays and
purited on fourth-and-22
from their own 10.
Jason Cherry then iced it
for the Dogs. Taking the
punt at the Suwannee 42, he
ran to the left sideline and
.sprinted in for the score.
SThe kick made it 16-2 at
'i2:53 of the fourth.-
The game was all but
over, but somebody forgot
to tell the Eagles, who put
together a 12-play scoring
drive to make it close in the
final minutes. The key play
was a 47-yard pass from
quarterback Vernon Walker
to Orlando Evans. Suwan-
nee's Collis Gi' ens brought
Evains dowinat.the Suwan-
nee 38 to sav-e ihe touch-
down. But, six plays later
Episcopal's Michael Moses
pulled in a pass at the
Suwannee two to set up a
scoring run by Evans with
14 seconds remaining.
The onside kick skittered
.out of bounds as time ex-
pired.
"It wasn't the prettiest
thing I've ever seen, but
I'm tickled for you," Coach
Bennett told his players af-
ter the game.
In addition to Brandon
Allen and Jason Cherry,
Bennett singled out Gabe
Galloway, Edwanyte Jones,
Larry Allen and the entire
linebacking corps for spe-
cial recognition.
Thie First Federal Players
of the Game, as selected by
WQHL radio, were Cullen
Boggus, Brandon Allen and
Jason Cherry.

I ASK DR. MANTOOTHI
Q:.Why do dentists use what they call a
temporary filling? ,
A: The use of a temporary filling is not an
uncommon dental practice. It is also
referred to as an "indirect capping." When
a nerve or pulp is exposed due to the
removal of tooth decay, a temporary
filling can be used. The temporary filling
contains the decay and allows the pulp to
repair itself by letting a wall of tooth
structure build up between the pulp and
decay. After a period of time,, the dentist
will remove the temporary filling and may
take an X-ray to 'ee if the pulp has
healed. If the pulp has healed, the dentist
will remove the rest of the decay and put
a permanent filling in place. The main
goal of the use of a temporary filling is to
save the tooth. Following these steps
may also avoid the need for a root canal
or in more serious cases, extraction of
the tooth. So the use of a temporary
filling is actually a conservative approach
to a problem. Talk with your dentist about
the various steps available for treatment
of a decayed tooth.

SHow do I prep the interior
surface?
I "4 "A
Scohsideration should be. given:'to: ;su .i
preparation. Very few interior walls are perfect,
Sand therefore must be inspected and repaired
before painting. This detail should not be overlooked, as
certain coating problems are caused bN incoTrect surface
preparauon. This is a leading cause for unsatisfactory results
such as peeling and non-uniform appearance.

Stand Still
By Pam Campbell
"Stand Still, and consider the won-
drous works, of God." Job 37:14 God
wants all of us to slow down, take time
to rest in Him, spend time reading His
word and really look at what it says.
He wants us to take time to think and
realize how amazing all His creations
really are. In this world we live in,
most people are so busy they no longer
have time to just rest and read the
word of God, to find out what God has
to say about their life and really hear
and know His voice.
I am sure you know of people who
never "stand still." The\ are running '
around with so much to do, never con-
tent towait for God to lead them. They
are good at running ahead of God and
trying to make their owni path instead -
of waiting for God to guide them. God
.wants to be your guide and lead you in
the best path for you. .
SIn this world there are all kinds of
guides, think about Indian scouts. .
SThey would guide explorers through
mountaili passes, they knew where to
find cool water and places to rest. A
Forest rangeirguides campers on hik-
inh trails and warns them to watch for ,:
poisonous plants and snakes. A ship's'
captain safely guides his ship to shore
even on a mooiless night. In Psalmis
48:14 God says "For this God is our
God forever and ever: He will be our
guide even to the end." We need to,...
learn to let God be odr guide, eVer da.
,in every area of our lives. Many peo-
ple are so "antsy-" they never seem.
able to sit still and wait. There are so'
many people I meet who are never able
to wait. They run here and there, they
always are in a hurry they always
seem to have to be doing something
even if they should be waiting or rest-
ing. I am su'e you kilnow people who i
can't sit still. they. worry all the time.
they hate waiting and they don't have.
any patience. God wants us to have pa-
tience. He tells us in Galatians 5:22
that patience is a virtue. "But the fruit
of the Spirit is love. joy, peace. pa-
tience. kindness, goodness, faithful-
ness, gentleness and self-control."
How is your patience? When you
pray, do you get upset when you don't
get an answer soon? Have you ever
prayed about something for so long
that you began to wonder if God was
ever going to answer your prayers?
Maybe you finally gave up and quit
praying for that answer. Giving up is
never the answer. God will always an-
swer our prayers. We must keep ask-
ing. There is a great example of this in
Luke 11:5-40. "Then He said to them,
"Suppose'one of you has'a friend. :anid
'he goes to him-at midnight and says.
'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
.because a friend of mine on a journey
has come to me. and I have nothing to
set before him. '"So Isay to you: Ask
and it will be given to youth seek and
you w ill find: knock and the door will
be opened to you. For everyone who
asks receives; he who seeks finds: anid
to him who knocks, the door will be *
opened." We must be patient, continue
to pray for whatever the need is, and.
wait patiently for the answer to come."
I waited patiently for the Lord; He
turned to me and heard my cry"
'-9
4 i ;:.' l '
Psal 40:1.
-times it seems the answer will .never
come. I found the Lord as my Savior
when I was 15 aid when I got home,
that night. I shared the most wonder-
ful iews w ith my parents. They were
not pleased, as they did not know Him
in that way, though we had been going
to church all my life. Iabegan praying
'for God to save themnond the years,
kept going by. I married Ken. a preach-

:nt-pesea' he idnt nw~m
inthat was: ~~~~ihogl ehB engon
to ~ ~ chrhalm ie.l ea ryn
fo bdt a~ hmadte er
,. ,
er, we kept praying for them. Our
daughter Jennifer was born dead, we
prayed and God raised her from the
dead! Many times God did miracles in
baby Jennifer's and my bodies, many
times they saw God's hand move, yet
they did not come to know the Lord.
We continued to pray, my daddy ended
up having serious heart problems and
was in the hospital for Christmas
when Jennifer was nine. We had
Christmas Eve with him oh New
Year's Eve, and that night after 21
years of praying faithfully for my dad--
dy, God allowed me the privilege of
leading him to the Lord in prayer. Did
I wonder if he would ever get saved, if
God would answer my prayer? Yes,
sometimes it was hard, but if what:
you are asking God for is really worth
it, if it is really important to.you, you
will continue. you will wait on the
Lord; you will never give up, and God
will answer! Remember,. God is always
on time, He is never late. My daddy
lived until spring and went to be with
His Savior.
Sometimes we just need to slow
doCwn and stand still so we can hear
what God is saying, and so we can
find His path to follow. Psalm 130:5 "I
wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and
in.His word I put my hope." Have you
'put your hope in the Lord, are you
waiting on Him for the answer? We
need to learn to wait, which is some-
thing most people are not, very good
at anymore. We live in a world where
everyone wants everything now. So
many people are living their lives as
Sif life was a fast food drive-thl u or in-
stant coffee, instant everything, a
lqick fix to a problem. People want it
'now, and don't seem to have any pa-.
tience to wait. We all need to learn to
wait.
Romans 8:25 says "But if we hope for
what we do not yet have, we wait for it
patiently." We also need to make sure
we did hot miss the answer. Remem-
ber, sometimes the best answer for our
lives nmay be no. If that is the case, we
need to go on and continue to follow
our guide. He always knows what is
the very best for our lives.
God is always there wherever you
are and will never leave you or give up
on you. Yes, now is the time to seek
God for patience, to learn to wait, to
slow down and Stand Still.

Aunt Pam's Kids Corner Stand still
SBy Pam Campbell
When you read the title of this article
"Stand Still" what do you think of? Maybe
some of you think of a teacher telling
someone to stand still in line, or of your
mom or dad telling you to stand still
while they are showing you how to do
something. I am talking about a different
kind of standing still. I am talking about
slowing down, and listening to God. In
the Bible, which is God's word,we read
these words in Job 37:14 "Stand Still, and
consider the wondrous works of God."
God wants us to take time to stand still,
and pay attention to all of the wonderful
things that He has made and all the won-
derful things we have. Even kids can get
so busy they don't take time to read God's
word, to notice all the wonderful things
around them God has created, or even
take time to talk to God.
God wants to be your guide and lead
you in the best path for you. In this world
there are all kinds of guides. Think about
Indian scouts they would guide explor-
ers through the mountains, they knew
where to find cool water and places to
rest. A forest ranger guides campers on
hiking trails and warns them to watch for
poisonous plants and snakes. A ship's
.captain safely guides his ship to shore
even on a dark night. In Psalms 48:14 God
says "For this God is our God for ever and
ever: He will be our guide even to the
end." We need to learn to let God be our
guide every day. Maybe you know people
who can't sit still, they hate waitifig, and
they don't have any patience. God wants
us to have patience. He tells us in Gala-
tians 5:22 that patience is a virtue. "But
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control."
Do you have patience? When you pray
to God, do you get upset if you don't
think He answers your prayer fast
enough? God knows what you need and
/ 1
O.
when you need it. God is always on time.
We need to learn to wait for the answer to
our prayers. We need to follow our guide,
God knows what is best for us.
God is always there with you and will
never leave you or give up on you. Yes,
now is the time to ask God for patience, to
learn to wait, to slow down and Stand
Still and talk to God.

.O0r as a soul without Jesus, _,
No chance to'be saved.
A world without love
Would be a terrible loss,
A world with no Savior,
A hill with no cross.

Dieters often make three mistakes: they deprive themselves of
the foods they love, chip away their meals until there are too few
calories and, not to mention, they're on a "diet" in the first
place.
Take such moves in overhauling your eating patterns and
,you're bound to fail because your brain will sabotage your diet,
says Mary Bbggiano, a University of Alabama at Birmingham
psychologist who studies abnormal eating patterns.
"A lot of Americans want a quick fix so they are lured by
crash'diets," Boggiano says. These diets are often too low in
calories, cut out favorite foods and are monotonous in favoring
only certain type of foods, such as all-carb or protein diets.
However, the brain responds to extreme, low-calorie diets by
triggering the metabolic appetite the body's need for more
energy and calories that can leave you hungry and vulnerable
to overeating; Boggiano, says. In turn, when dieters deprive
themselves of the' foods they enjoy or rely on bland foods, their
hedonic appetite the brain's craving for yummy tasting foods -
kicks in. Hedonic appetites can especially be triggLered when a
person is stressed and seeks.out a reward food, such as potato
chips or chocolate.
Eventually, dieters succumb to fighting the two appetites and
end up unable to stay on their diet, which results in old eatinP-
habits.
So if going on a "diet" is wrong, what can you do? Instead,
consider it a lifestyle change, not a short-term diet, nutritionists
say. And along with some physical activity to boost your
metabolism, satisfy a healthy mixture of metabolic and hedonic
appetites to meet a 1,200- or 1,500-calorie diet.
Experts also offer the following tips:
Eat balanced meals: Boggiano recommends three meals a
day, and no skipping breakfast. Research has shown eating
breakfast and low-fat.meals are two common characteristics of
people who keep weight off lohg-term. Meet national dietary
guidelines of fruits and vegetables, dairy, carbohydratesand
protein
For an individual meal plan of what foods you need for your
age, activity level and gender, refer to the United States

Department of Agriculture MyPyramid Plan at
www.mypyramid.gov.
Go low fat and count calories: Maintain a low-fat diet,.which can
help you feel more full, and limit how much saturated fat, traris fat
and cholesterol you eat. To reduce trans fat, cut back on foods
containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as
commercially baked and fried foods. The 2006 American Heart
Association Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations call for a goal of
less than 7 percent of saturated fat and trans fatty acids of less than 1
percent of total calories.
Boggiano says that adults who eat no'less than 1,200 calories a ,
day should be able to maintain steady weight loss of up to two
Sounds a week. If you have trouble keeping track, some nutritionists
recommend maintaining a food journal to record what you eat and
the calories and fat content.
Watch portion size: Dinner plates have gotten larger arid meals
have gone super-size. For example, a suitable portion size at a fast-
food restaurant is actually a children's meal. For quick portion-size
judgments, remember that three ounces of meat or protein is about
the size of the palm of your hand, one ounce of cheese is about the
equivalent of your thumb size: and one cup of milk, yogurt and fresh'
vegetables is about the size of a tennis ball, according to the
SAmerican Diabetes Association.
Drink healthy: What you drink such as soft drinks, alcohol and
whole ilk can also be adding calories to your diet. On the flip
side, drinking water may actually help you lose weight and feel
more energetic throughout the day. That's because research has
shown that being dehydrated makes you feel hungry and may cause
'you to overeat.
Can't stand water? Try flavored water, without any added sugar, or
unsweetened fruit juice, vegetable juices and fat-free milk instead of
wholemnilk, which can save you about 80 calories or eight grams of
fat.
Making such lifestyle changes can be easier said than done. That's
why Boggiano recommends taking it "one meal at a time."
Eat a health~ breakfast and then tocus on a health\ lunch and
dinner. "Then \ou'il e had a really healthy da\," Boggiano sa).s."
"'Ne\t thing on kino \l \o're eating health\ ~\eeklh. monthly and
yearly."

Crist to file multi-million 2007 Savannah Music Festival to kick off
dollar price
Attorney General Charlie
Crist announced recently he
will sue seven foreign and do-
mestic firms that manufacture
computer memory chips, as
well as their US subsidiaries,
alleging the firms conspired
to fix the prices of dynamic
random access memory
(DRAM) chips. Crist and 33
other state attorneys general
will file the case, claiming
multi-million dollar damages
to private citizens and govern-
mental agencies that pur-
chased DRAM chips and
equipment that contained the
chips over a four-year period.
Companies named as de-
fendants include Micron
Technology, Inc.. Infineon
Technologies AG: Hn.rix
Semiconductor. Inc.; Elpida
Memory, Inc.; Mosel Vitehc
Corp.; Nanya Technology
Corp. and NEC Electronics
America, Inc. The largest four
of'the DRAM manufacturers
and their US subsidiaries con-
trol roughly 70 percent of the
US market, which in 2003
was approximately $5 bilhon
of the $17 billion in world-
wide sales.
The main allegations in the
complaint focus on the defen-
dants' conspiracy to fix
DRAM chip prices from 1998
through 2002. The price fix-
ing allowed them to artificial-
ly restrain supply, allocate the
production and markets for
DRAM chips among them-
selves and rig bids for DRAM
chip contracts. DRAM chips
are semiconductors that hold
temporary instructions and
data, malkng the data avail-
able for quick access when
computers and other electron-
ic devices are m use.
fixing case
"These companies con-
spired to rig the market.
working together to keep
prices -artificially high," said
Crist. "In the process, they
hurt individual consumers,
government agencies and tax-
payers.
According to the states'
complaint, the firms began to
coordinate pnces as early as
1998, when there was an ex-
cess of DRAM chips in the
market. As a result, computer
manufacturers paid more for
DRIAM than they would have
paid "in a free and competi-
ti-e market." The affected
computer manufacturers in-
cluded Apple Computer, Inc..
Compaq Computer Corp.,
Dell, Inc., Gateway, Inc.,
Hewlett-Packard Co. and
IBM. The computer manufac-
turers passed along these
overcharges to Florida con-
sumers and Flonda public en-
tity computer purchasers
The case follows a federal
antitrust investigation by the
lUS Department of Justice
IDOJI. After the DOJ
launched its investigation in
June 2002. Micron agreed to
cooperate with investigators
in exchange for amnesty from
federal criminal charges Four
finns, as well as 12 corporate
individuals, pled guilty to
criminal pnce-fixing and paid
more than $730 nullion in
fines.
The complaint, to be filed
in US District Court for the
Northern District of Califor-
nia. asks the court to order the
defendants to pay three tunes
the amount of damages for
.vhich the court finds them li-
able. Florida is one of the lead

claimed Irish ensemble Flook will give two
performances in the intimate American Le-
gion Hall located at the south end. of

"This opening weekend is a snapshot of
what our festival offers throughout 18
days,'" said Rob Gibson, artistic and execu-
tive director of the Festival. "We remain

ing musical artists from around the w world
Sithin the historic district of our wonderful
city. We look forward to alunnoucing our

tions Competition. The artistic %ision for

missioned works, one-time only produc-
tions, and numerous free and educational
concerts. Last year, more than 45,000 pa-
trons attended the production of 105 events,
showcasing 500 artists from around the
world. It featured 59 ticketed events, 14
free midday concerts, 20 free ) outh educa-
tion concerts and several master classes
and workshops.
Savannahians began celebrating St.
Patrick's Day in 1813 with a private gath-,
ering of the Hibemian Society, a group of
Irish Protestants. The first parade was five
years later. During the past 190 years, Sa-
vannah has attracted visitors from across
the globe to celebrate the great tradition of
this annual holiday. It is now the third
largest in the world, behind New York and
,Dublin, Ireland.

Dianne Reeves
"One question I am always asked, 'Who
is the next Billie, Sarah, Ella, Carmen or
Lena?' I can now answer in two words:
'Dianne Reeves.' She sings and swings like
all of them put together. Sultry, savvy,
unique, adventurous, with a range that flies
off the Richter, she's the hottest thing in
jazz." Rex Reed, New York Observer
Dianne Reeves is perhaps the pre-emi-
nent jazz vocalist in the world today. As a
result of her virtuosity, improvisational
prowess and unique R&B and jazz stylings,
Reeves was awarded the Grammy for Best
Jazz Vocal Performance for her three con-
secutive recordings-a Grammy first in
any vocal category. Dianne Reeves brought
home her fourth Grammy for the sound-
track to the critically acclaimed filmGood
Night, And Good Luck in, February 2006,
in which she also performed. Don't miss
this world-class vocalist the New York
Times recognizes as "a jazz singer of fre-
quently astonishing sill." For more infor-

girlish charm and testifying Matriarchal

In the years since sh.e captured the pub-
lie's musical nmaginanon with lier 1998
breakthrough album Just Won't Bum, the
Smulti-talented musician has established a
formidable reputation as a deeply expres-
sive singer, a prodigiously talented guitarist
and distinctive, songwriter. She's won a
large and lo\al audience for her ability to
craft elements of classic blues, rock, R&B,
folk and gospel into a distinctly individual.
style that honors rootsy musical traditions
without being subservient to them. Hope

her first for Verve Forecast, .marks a sub-

fruit juice. Choose power-
packed juices, such as 100
percent orange juice, for a
nutritious beverage rich in
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants
and phytonutrients.
Ask your child to help:
While grocery shopping, let
your child pick out new foods,
and guide him or her through
healthy alternatives. Read food
labels together so children can
see what makes one food better
for them than another. Have
your children pack lunches with
you the night before to avoid the
morning rush.
In addition to packing a
nutritious lunch, Rampersaud
recommends teaching your
children how to choose healthy
snacks at school. "Often
children need nourishment
beyond the lunchroom to
quench thirst or hunger in
between classes or after school,"
she says. "It is important for
children to know how to spot
healthy snacks in vending
machines and snack stands."
Parents should encourage
children to choose granola bars,
nuts or whole wheat crackers
instead of chips and candy bars.
Smart beverage choices include
water, low-fat milk and 100
percent fruit juice. Teaching
these eating habits early will
help pave the way to a lifetime
of better health for children.

(ARA) School bells are
ringing across the country, as
summer vacation comes to an
end. Parents are gearing up for
the challenging task of helping
their children stay healthy in and
out of the classroom. Obstacles
abound. Pizza, hot dogs and
.fries often take center stage in
school cafeterias. Vending
machines and concession stands
tempt students with junk food.
Fund-raisers flood school halls
with donuts and candy bars.
So, what are concerned
parents to do? According to Gail
Rampersaud, M.S., R.D. with
the University of Florida
Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences, one of the
best ways to ensure healthy
eating at school is with a
nutritious lunch from home.
"Parents can make a big
difference in their children's
health by packing a well-
balanced lunch."
By following these simple
steps, parents can help prepare
their kids for an A-plus in
nutrition this school year:
Sharpen your beverage IQ:
It's not just about what your
children eat drinks count; too.
Ifyou pack juice, make sure it's
100 percent juice. "Cocktails,"
"punches" and odier juice
imposters have added sugars,
are typically low in nutrients
and don't help fulfill fruit intake
recommendations. The USDA
Dietary Guidelines identify only
one beverage as a recommended
option to help meet fruit intake
recommendations 100 percent

Teen identity theft a growing concern
Problem largely
unrecognized
(ARA) The dream of
obtaining their first
driver's license is
turning into a
nightmare for a growing
number of teenagers.
who are discovering for
the first time they are
victims of identity theft.
Identity theft is a crime
in which an imposter
obtains key pieces of
information such as
Social Security and
driver's license numbers
to obtain credit,
merchandise and
services in the narmne of
his or her victim.
"Young people under
the age of 29 years old
have become the
number one
demographic target for
identity thieves," Betsy
Broder of the Federal
Trade Commission said
at a recent summit on
teen ID theft sponsored
by Qwest
Communications.
"Young people
comprise an estimated
31 percent of the some
10 million identity thefts
annually throughout the
country."
Broker said the first
time many teenagers
discover their'
identification has been
stolen is when they
apply for a driver's
license or credit card.
and discover someone
else has been using their
name and Social
Security number.
Concerned that
teenagers are often
overlooked by
organizations that,
educate the public on
identity theft, Qwest
Communications
recently sponsored a
one-day summit in
Denver devoted
exclusively to the
problem of.teenage
identity theft. .
The first-of-its-kind
summit brought
together influential
members from business,
government, academia
and the media to .
identify the problems
young people face with
respect to identity theft
and develop initiatives
to help protect them.
Broder, who is
assistant director of the
FTC's Division of
Planning and
Information, and a
panel of other experts
noted that identity theft
is one of the fastest
growing financial
crimes in the United
States, costing
businesses some $48
billion a year in losses
and an estimated $5
billion in losses to
consumers. They urged
businesses, schools and
others to help educate
young people on how to
protect themselves
against becoming the
primary target of
identity thieves.
With little knowledge
of financial transactions
or credit reports,
teenagers and young
people are particularly
vulnerable to identity
theft. Identity thefts can
occur before a teenager
even reaches the age of
18, the time. when most
minors are eligible to
enter into contracts and
apply for credit cards.
"Identity theft is
affecting teens the same
way it affects adults,"
says Diane Terry, senior
director of fraud victim
assistance at the
national credit bureau,
TransUnion. "The main'
difference is that
teenagers are often less
educated about the
warning signs that
suggest they may be
victims. We really need
more focused education
to reach teens."
Terry and others note
that it can be an
exceptionally traumatic
experience for anyone to
discover their identity
has been stolen, but that
it is particularly painful
for young people.
"It feels like you have
no control over your
life," says Rhea Takara
of San Diego, Calif.,
whose estranged father
stole her identity when
she was 18 years old
and forged her name on
credit card receipts arid
'established business
.accounts using her
personal information.
"Lots of people don't
even want to talk about
it because the theft often
involves a relative or.
someone they know. It
Swas very hard for me to
be betrayed by, a
parent." *
In addition to
relatives, roommates
and other
acquaintances, law
enforcement officials
say domestic drug rings
and Eastern European
gangs are heavily into
identity theft and credit
card fraud. Young
.methamphetamine
addicts are particularly
drawn to identity theft
as an easy way to create
and use counterfeit
checks to support their
drug use. According to
officials, they steal
identity information
from the mail, their
employers and fellow
employees, car-break-
ins, burglaries and
through dumpster-.
diving.
The Internet has
become an appealing
place for criminals to .
obtain identifying data,
such as passwords,
Social Security numbers
and credit card
information,
particularly from young
people who are the
Biggest users of the
Web. Thieves often
attempt to get identity
information through
chat rooms or by
enticing people to
divulge personal

ifjrr.P;~C~Tf 7piSi
information through
specially designed Web
sites or pop-up
windows that pose'as
legitimate commercial
sites.
The experts say teens
need to understand that
identity theft is a serious
crime that demands a
response. There is no
need to become
paranoid or stop using
the Internet, but the.
experts suggest teens be
extremely cautious
about divulging
sensitive personal
information to anyone,
particularly when it
involves unsolicited .
requests.
Other tips to help
teenagers arid young
people prevent identity
Traud include:
Don't be
intimidated. Tell adults
(e.g. coaches, teachers
and employers) who ask
for Social Security,
driver's license and
credit card numbers that
you want to know how
they'll use it and how
they'll protect it from
identity theft.
Guard your personal
information. It's
valuable, so password-
protect your laptops,
wireless phones, pagers
.and MP3. players and
don't store personal
identification
information on these
and other devices.
Carefully destroy
papers you throw out --
using a cross-cut
shredder if possible -
that contain personal
identifying information.
Check yourself out.
When you turn 16,
frequently check bank
and credit card
statements for
irregularities and ask
for help' on how to
monitor your credit
reports at least once a
year.
Experts at the Qwest
Summit urged
businesses to partner
with local schools, law
enforcement agencies,
consumer groups and
others in promoting
information campaigns
for teens and young
people on the dangers
of identity theft.
The experts also noted
that businesses and
other organizations that
fail to take reasonable
precautions to protect
their own employees
and customers from'
identity theft are leaving
themselves open to
la\ suits from consumer
action attorneys acting
on behalf of the victims.
They recommend all
business -- not just :
financial institutions -
conduct a thorough
review of how they
acquire, distribute and
dispose of sensitive
personal information.
Some questions
businesses should ask
themselves about
identity theft, include:
Do we really need
the information we are
asking for.-- such as
Social Security numbers
-- and, if so, are we
. acquiring it in a safe
manner?
What computer
security measures have
\ e placed around the
systems storing
personal data?
Who has access to
sensitive personal
information from i :
:employees and :
customers and have
.they gone through a
background check? .-
Are documents
containing personal
information shredded or
rendered unreadable
before disposal in office,
trash containers and
company dumpsters?
Do we provide our
employees (and :t
customers) iith a
secure place to store
their purses and laptops
containing personal
information?
