Shooting Threat Causes School To Lockdown


By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
As soon as the recorded
calls were made to parents by
Madison County High School,
advising them that the school
was under lockdown, other
calls were made to the Sher-
iff's Office, to the police de-
partment and to Greene Pub-
lishing, Inc.
One parent said that the
call she received had said,
"It's just a drill to make sure
our communication system is
working properly"
Ben Killingsworth, high


school principal, said that the
call, which was made by the
school's "Connect Ed" mes-
saging system did not say
that, but instead said that the
school was under a precau-
tionary administrative lock-
down. Two hours later, an up-
dated Connect Ed message
was sent to parents. .
Connect Ed is a system
that the school uses to send
messages to students and par-
ents about various things at
the school. The messages can
range from routine school an-
nouncements to things as se-


rious as the lockdown.
Children called their par-
ents on their cell phones to
inform them what was hap-
pening. Calls were made from
the newspaper to law officers
to find out what was happen-
ing. The school was being
locked down due to a shoot-
ing threat at the high school.
Letters were found on in
three separate restrooms on
the campus, stating that a
shooting would take place
during the sixth period at the
school.
The lockdown immediate-


ly went into effect at approxi-
mately 9:30 a.m. Sixth period
at the school begins at 1 p.m.
Students were being released
from their classes by
lunchtime.
After the school called an
end to the lockdown at appar-
ently 2 p.m., parents were al-
lowed to go on campus to
pick up their children. Oth-
ers left by car and bus at the
end of the day, just as nor-
mal.

Total Lunar Eclipse To Occur Evening Of February 20.


By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
A total eclipse of the
Moon occurs on Wednesday,
February 20, and the entire
event is visible from most of
North America, including
Madison County During a to-
tal lunar eclipse, the Moon's
disk can take on a dramati-
cally colorful appearance
from bright orange to blood


red to dark brown and rarely,
very dark gray.
An eclipse of the Moon,
,can only take place at Full
Moon, and only if the Moon
passes through some portion
of Earth's shadow. The shad-
ow is actually composed of
two cone-shaped parts, one
nested inside the other. The
outer shadow, or penumbra,
is a zone where Earth blocks


some, but not all, of the Sun's
rays. In contrast, the inner
shadow, or umbra, is a region
where Earth blocks all direct
sunlight from reaching the
Moon.
If only part of the Moon
passes through the umbra, a
partial eclipse is seen. How-
ever, if the entire Moon pass-
es through the umbral shad-
ow, then a total eclipse of the


Moon occurs. The total
eclipse portion of this
evening's event occurs be-
tween 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.
The astronomy departments
at-both NFCC and Valdosta
State will be conducting tele-
scopic tracking of this celes-
tial phenomenon.

Policial Annocement

Rick Davis Announces

Candidacy For Sheriff
I am respectfully announcing my
candidacy for the office of Sheriff of
Madison County.
I This de-
cision comes
from a lot of
sole searching
and a great de-
sire to provide
professional
law enforce-
ment services
to our citizens.
I believe that
my training,
education, and
26 years of law
enforcement experience, 12 of
which were as Chief of Police for the
City of Madison, with the responsibili-
ty of budget management, and direct-
ing law enforcement services gives me
the experience necessary to be your
next Sheriff.

currently a senior attending Suwannee
High School. Nicole and Cody both at-

full time polite officer for the City of
Madison Police Department and have
spent the past 26 plus years serving the

have worked my way through the
ranks to the position of Chief of Po-
lice. I have been a patrol officer, a su-
pervisor, an investigator (narcotics,

from misdemeanors to capital offenses,
including homicide.
As Chief of Police, I have over 12
years experience supervising a law en-
forcement agency, preparing and man-
aging budgets for the City of Madi-
son. I have always managed the police
department within the budget.
I earned my Associate of Science
Degree in Criminal Justice Technology

Criminal Justice from Columbia
Southern University in 2000. I am a

nity College Public Safety Academy, in-
structing General Subjects, Defensive

Letters to the Editor are typed word for word,
comma for comma, as sent to this newspaper.


"It's Just A Drill"
That's what I was told by the school personal after Fri-
days lock down. "It's just a drill to make sure our communi-
cation system is working properly" Did The people at the
school forget that now a days, students have cell phones?
What were they thinking? Students were calling par-
ents, parents were calling relatives, and relatives were call-
ing co-workers, and so on. Come on people, this is Madison!
And then Channel 6 news reports on the real reason for the
lockdown on the 12:00 news!
I think the school did everything right concerning the
lockdown. Everyone stayed in their class room. Cars, lock-
ers and personal were checked. No one came in or out of the
school until they knew it was safe. I commend them for that.
The only thing that I had a problem with was being LIED
too!! Whoever made that decision, should have their hands
smacked with a ruler!! Shame on You!!

third and fourth grade our
children focused on protecting
the environment; and one
child won the poetry contest
on the subject. When we re-
turned to the United States,
they were appalled at the road-
side litter in San Pedro, Cali-
fornia. Today the adult son re-
mains appalled that Washing-
ton, D.C. has become infested
with rats feeding from plastic
garbage bags set out for collec-
tion.
Now we must teach, en-
lighten and reward. .then fine
the offenders.

Making Memories
My mother has always told me, during my adult life as a
mother, to "make memories." As we grow older, what we hold
dear to us are the memories we have with our loved ones.
To make this point valid, one day she asked me what my fa-
vorite memories of my childhood were. As I started naming
things (summer camps, family trips to the beach, family trips
to the mountains, multi-family trips to football games, multi-
family trips to the Daytona 500, family swimming time at the
KOA), her point was taken. Sure, we all have some funny good
memories of things that happened at school, or at work, but the
REAL memories come from "family time."
As I got older and my children got older, sometimes I would
hit decisions on what to do, or what not to do. Softball games
that were scheduled on "press days" or away basketball games
that would totally kill a day's worth of work. When I would
have to face these decisions, my mother would always ask me,
"In 20 years, which will you remember? The basketball game
or what you did at the office that day? Always choose the mem-
ory Emerald!"
I've decided, through the years, that my mother is a smart
woman, and I have tried to live by her advice while my children
are growing up.
Such was the case last week. The Aucilla Christian Acad-
emy seventh and eighth grade classes (my daughter Brooke be-
ing in the seventh grade) took their annual Washington D.C
trip, and I had signed up to be a chaperone. And what a memo-
ry we (Brooke and I) have.
We all loaded the bus at Aucilla at 3:30, Wednesday after-
noon (didn't actually leave until 3:50 because I was late) and, off
we headed to Washington, D.C. For the next 15-16 hours we
stayed on that bus until we got to our destination. Bathroom
breaks, snack breaks, and breakfast breaks were very well wel-
comed, more so for the fact of being able to walk around and
stretch our legs. It is at times like these, however, that no mat-
ter how old someone might be the realization that you ARE
NOT 13 and 14 years old anymore, really hits home. I can assure
everyone, that the adults felt the pain of sleeping on a bus,
much more than any of the teenagers felt it.
All day Thursday, Friday and Saturday the group of 36 chil-
dren and adults visited sites such as the White House, the Lin-
coln Memorial, the Capitol, the Arlington Cemetery (my fa-
vorite), the Vietnam Memorial, the National Cathedral, the
Space Museum, the, Natural History Museum, and too many
other places to. name them all. It was so much fun. I have al-
ways felt like such a "kid at heart" anyway and I've got to tell
you that I probably had more fun, on that trip, than a lot of the
teenagers themselves. On our way home we stopped by
Williamsburg, Va and did a day's worth of sightseeing there,
too.
Our group made it home on Sunday morning at 10:00 (after
spending the night on the bus Saturday night) We were all
tired, in our pajamas, but so glad to have Florida weather
again. Let me tell you, I would never live anywhere but Flori-
da. I like my 70 degree "winter weather." I spent three full days
in 30-45 degree cold, cold, breezy weather and I sure missed
home.
But a memory was made and fun was had by all. And that
is what is important!
From my Mother to me, and from me to you.....
"Go make a memory with your child and/or loved one.
That is what's important in life!"
Until then....see you around the town.

Quote: "Do the right thing. Help folks
when you can to get to where they're going."


Nearly a half
century ago
(when I was a N
Boy Scout), I re-
galed in stories S
of heroes sav-
ing the lives of J
others. Lifesav- G
ing was an im-
portant virtue
of scouting, and
we were con-
stantly trained to re-
spond and help others.
On my path to becoming
an Eagle Scout, I was re-
quired to earn merit
badges in lifesaving and
first aid. I read the sto-
ries in the monthly peri-
odical. Boy's Life about
scouts who rescued oth-
ers from danger ... and I
fanatasized about meet-
ing such a challenge and
becoming a hero.
Some of the best sto-
ries about military com-
bat are people who go
into harm's way to save
the lives of others, plac-
ing their own life at
risk. Take the story of
Colin Kelly for example.
As we understand Kel-
ly's last mission today,
two-thirds of a century
later, he was command-
ing a B-17 crew in the
skies over the Philip-
pines when his bomber
was mortally attacked
by Japanese fighters.
Kelly stayed at the con-
trols while his six sur-
viving crew members
successfully bailed out
of the burning aircraft.
Before Captain Kelly
could save himself, the
aircraft exploded and
crashed ending his
young life. Rightfully
so, he was accorded the
honor of America's first
hero of World War II.
On 9/11, hundreds of
police and firemen
rushed into the burning
twin towers of the World
Trade Center to rescue
citizens trapped in
floors above the raging
inferno. Many of them

died in the collapse of
the buildings where
they were fulfilling
their duty of protecting
the public. The same
thing happened in the
Pentagon and in a rural
field in southwestern
Pennsylvania where the
passengers aboard Unit-
ed Flight 93 decided
enough was enough.
Today, as I approach
my 60th birthday, I am
involved with another
type of lifesaving, far
less glamorous but
equally important.
There will be no public
adulation for the work I
am doing; no medals to
pin on my chest. In fact,
I will never meet the
people whose lives I am
helping, in my own way,
to save. They must and
should remain invisible
to me. As long as God
understands and guides
my work, that is all the
recognition I seek.
You see, I am a mem-
ber of the board of di-
rectors of A Women's
Pregnancy Center with
offices in Tallahassee
and Madison, and if it is
God's will, other Big
Bend communities. My
job is to direct the policy
of our centers and raise
funds so that we can op-
erate. We are solely sup-
ported by individuals,
churches and businesses
that believe in our min-
istry. Because Christian
ministry is fundamental
to our purpose, we re-
ceive no government
funds for our work.
But we aren't alone.

ters are located
in thousands of
communities
across our na-
tion in commu-
nities like
Madison and
larger cities as
well. We are
far more nu-
merous than
abortion clin-


Simply put, our mis-
sion is fo save the lives
of unborn children from
abortionists and in the
process, present the
Gospel of Jesus Christ
to young women facing
crisis pregnancies.
Since this is a ministry
primarily for mothers,
our volunteer coun-
selors are women, but
there is a place for men,
in our organization who
deeply respect the sanc-
tity of life.
So, how are we do-
ing? Last year, our sta-
tistics indicate that our
two centers saw a little
more than 100 clients a
month. We know for a
fact that 127 babies are
alive today thanks to our
ministry and many
young women have a re-
newed sense of their
Christian faith. We
don't charge our clients
a dime for the services
and counseling we sup-
ply to them. that's
what the fund raising is
all about.
On March 8 (and the
week prior in Tallahas-
see) we will be hosting
our spring fundraiser
called "Walk for Life."
We'll start at the court
house at 8:30 and follow-
ing registration and
prayer, we'll take a walk
around Lake Francis,
meeting new Christian
friends and sharing our
faith and ministry. We
hope we'll have good
weather for our celebra-
tion, but if the Lord
sends rain, we'll be
thankful for that as
well.
If you would like to
join us, please do. The
more support we have in
our community in the
form of prayer, volun-
teers, and gifts, the
more successful we'll
be. Let us celebrate life;
it is a gift from the Lord.
As Jefferson wrote so el-
egantly in the Declara-
tion of Independence,
"we are endowed by our
Creator with certain in-
alienable rights, that
among these are life, lib-
erty and the pursuit of
happiness." Amen.

breaking into their home. She said that there had been
threats of violence and she locked him outside.
Upon Sgt. William Greene's arrival at the resi-
dence, the woman told him that she and the assailant
were in the process of separating. Davis had come to
her house and forced open the door and began search-
ing the home, accusing her of having another man in
the house.
A verbal altercation ensued between the victim and
Davis. She said that there were threats of violence and
she was scared of what Davis might do when the police
left.
Davis was arrested and taken to the Madison Coun-
ty Jail.



A Madison woman was arrested for driving un-
der the influence on Saturday, February 16.
According to a Madison Police Department re-
port, while in the area of Bunker Street, Patrolman
David Jarvis saw a gold Buick four-door sitting in
the middle of the road at a stop sign on Bunker
Street.
The car looked similar to a car for which an all-
points bulletin had just been issued.
As the car drove through the intersection, Jarvis
saw the car travel completely across both lanes of
traffic to the point that it would have struck oncom-
ing traffic, had there been any
Jarvis conducted a traffic stop on Bunker Street
and arrested Eddie James Hall, 60, for DUI.


Benedict P. Kuehne, Two Others, Indicted On
Money Laundering Charges


A federal grand jury in Mia-
mi has charged three individu-
als with federal money launder-
ing charges, obstruction of jus-
tice and forfeiture allegations,
Assistant Attorney General Al-
ice S. Fisher of the Criminal Di-
vision announced.
The defendants are Benedict
P. Kuehne, a Miami-based attor-
ney, Gloria Florez Velez, an ac-
countant from Medellin, Colom-
bia, and Oscar Saldarriaga
Ochoa, an attorney based in
Medellin, Colombia.
All of the defendants are
charged with one count of con-
spiracy to commit money laun-
dering, four counts of conceal-
ment money laundering, and one
count of obstruction of justice.
The indictment also seeks forfei-
ture in excess of $5 million. If
convicted, the defendants face a
maximum period of 20 years in-
carceration and a $250,000 fine,
in addition to the criminal for-
feiture.
As alleged in the indictment,
Fabio Ochoa Vazquez (here-
inafter "Ochoa") was one of the
world's largest cocaine traffick-
ers and a leader of the Medellin
Cartel. In September 2001,
Ochoa was extradited from
Colombia to stand trial in U.S.
District Court for the Southern
District of Florida for conspir-
ing to distribute cocaine in the
United States and elsewhere. He
was charged with smuggling ap-


proximately 30 tons of powder
cocaine per month into the Unit-
ed States between 1997 and 1999,
and ultimately convicted of
those offenses in May 2003.
Ochoa's criminal defense at-
torneys retained defendant
Kuehne to investigate the source
of the funds Ochoa intended to
use to pay his attorneys' fees and
to ensure that the funds were not
proceeds, or commingled with
proceeds, from Ochoa's drug
trafficking activities. From 2001
until 2003, defendant Kuehne
purportedly conducted a due
diligence investigation, with the
assistance of defendant Saldar-
riaga, who was working out of
the office of Ochoa's criminal
defense attorneys in Miami, and
defendant Florez, Ochoa's per-
sonal accountant based in
Colombia.
The indictment alleges that
defendants Kuehne, Florez and
Saldarriaga knew that the funds
used by Ochoa consisted of, or
were at least commingled with,
proceeds of drug trafficking and
that the defendants conspired to,
and did in fact, conceal such in-
formation. The indictment al-
leges that Kuehne drafted six
opinion letters falsely advising
Ochoa's legal defense team that
he had conducted a thorough
and independent investigation
into the source of funds.
Through these opinion letters,
defendant Kuehne advised


Ochoa's criminal defense team
that the funds Ochoa used to pay
his attorneys fees were free from
any taint of illegal activity, did
not represent the proceeds of
criminal conduct, and were not
commingled with proceeds of
drug trafficking. Thereafter,
Florez, Kuehne and Saldarriaga
made four outgoing wire trans-
fers, totaling $5,239,653.67 from
Kuehne's attorney trust account
to Ochoa's legal defense team,
representing payments by Ochoa
for his legal fees and expenses.
Assistant Attorney General
Fisher was joined in today's an-
nouncement by Eileen C. Mayer,
Chief, Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), Criminal Investigation Di-
vision; Jonathan I. Solomon,
Special Agent in Charge, Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI);
Anthony V. Mangione, Special
Agent in Charge, U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforcement
(ICE); Amos Rojas, Special
Agent in Charge, Florida De-
partment of Law Enforcement
(FDLE); and Maria Del Pilar
Hurtado, Director, Colombia De-
partamento Administrativo de
Seguridad (DAS). Assistant At-
torney General Fisher com-
mended the investigative efforts
of all the cooperating agencies.
The case is being prosecuted by
the Criminal Division's Senior
Trial Attorney John W. Sellers
and Trial Attorney Thomas J.
Pinder.

How A mericans Feel

About Retiremient
Here's some good news about turning 40. According
to a recent survey, it's the No. 1 life event that triggers
Americans to start saving for retirement. Other mile-
stones include turning 30 and 50, having children and
getting married.
The AXA Equitable Retirement Scope survey also
found eight in 10 working Americans say they've begun
to prepare for retirement, starting on average at age 30.
However, they do not anticipate being able to retire un-
til the age of 64, a full six years above their ideal retire-
ment age. Still, more than half of American workers
polled anticipate working during retirement. Of those
surveyed, middle-income workers (53 percent) and
women retirees (50 percent) feel their retirement in-
come will be insufficient.
Other key findings included:
The standard of living is not improving. The ma-
jority of working Americans (85 percent) feel their liv-
ing standards will remain the same or decrease in re-
tirement, and 81 percent of retirees report their living
standards have remained the same or decreased.
U.S. workers also believe Social Security is in seri-
ous trouble, if not in crisis. This is of particular con-
cern to those aged 25 to 34 who may fear Social Security
will run out by the time they are eligible. About half of
both working Americans and retirees surveyed expect
retirement reform in the next 10 years.
Of those, nearly 80 percent say such reform will
raise the minimum retirement age, while two-thirds or
higher predict reduced benefits.

Corinth Christian

Triumphs Over

Tabernacle Christian
The Corinth Christian Academy Warrior men's
and ladies' basketball teams made their first road
trip of the season and came away with wins over the
men's and ladies' teams from Tabernacle Christian
School in Live Oak on Thursday night, February 7.
The Lady Warriors were beset by injuries and ill-
ness, as well as a determined Tabernacle team. Nei-
ther team could mount a sustained offensive threat.
CCA closed out the first half up only 10-0. The sec-
ond half started with Tabernacle putting up its first
points of the night, but their young team could not
find a way through the defense of CCA.
The Lady Warriors closed out the evening with a
22-6 victory.
The CCA ladies were led by Tiffany Phillips with
13 points and 8 rebounds, while Miranda Mulkey
grabbed 10 rebounds to go with 4 points. Alayna Ab-
bott snared 9 boards, while scoring 2 points and
dishing out 2 assists.
The men's game started out with CCA grabbing a
big lead, closing out the first quarter 22-4; however,
someone forgot to tell Tabernacle that the game was
over. Using a 16-5 run, the Tabernacle men stormed
back to close within 9 points at the half.
The second half swung quickly back to CCA. The
Warriors wore down the Tabernacle men, ending
the evening with a 62-35 win.
Once again, sophomore Aaron Goyette led the
CCA Warriors with 31 points to go with his 13 re-
bounds. Senior Aaron Beck scored 6 points, snared 8
boards and led the team with 6 steals. John Barrs,
Jr. scored 8 points from his point guard spot, while
Matt Rye scored 4 points and snagged 8 rebounds.

Take Steps To Prevent Identity Theft

Provided by Brad Bashaw, Edward Jones
Identity theft is big business. In fact, each year, billions
of dollars that's billions, with a "b" is lostto identity theft,
according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This
cumulative figure may not mean that much to you, but if
you are victimized for a few hundred dollars, it will be an
upsetting and expensive experience. Thafs why you'll
want to defend yourself against identity theft and the best
time to take action is before you are victimized.
What can you do to protect yourself? Here are a few
suggestions:
Secure your Social Security number. Identity thieves
eagerly seek Social Security numbers so ddnt give out
yours to anyone who asks for it In fact, as a general rule,
be reluctant to give it out to anyone at all. Always ask
whomever you're dealing with if they will accept another
form of identification, or, at the very least, if they will take
just the last four digits of your number. And never cany
your Social Security card with you.
Shred credit card offers and bank statements. Ifyou're
not going to apply for the credit cards offered to you, shred
the offers. Identity thieves have been known to rifle
through garbage, fill out credit card offers and take advan-
tage of them. At the same time, shred your bank and bro-
kerage statements and any other statement containing
personal or financial information.
Study your credit card bills and checking account
statements. Question any credit card charge or checking
account activity you don't recognize as your own.
Don't give out your credit card number unless you're
initiating a purchase. Most of us do at least some shopping
online these days. As long as you're dealing with a rep-
utable merchant who uses a secure site i.e., one that has
"https" in the web address you should be reasonably con-
fident that your credit card information will be protected.
Never give out your credit card number to people or busi-
nesses who, unsolicited, try to sell you something over the
phone or Internet
"Opt out" of credit card offers and other mailings. You
can eliminate many of those "pre-approved" credit card
offers by calling 1-888-50PTOUT (1-888-567-8688) and
following the prompts. You can also greatly reduce the
amount of advertising, catalogues and other mailings you
receive by going on the Direct Marketing Association's
web site (www.dmachoice.org) and following the
"Remove My Name From Those Lists" link.
Even after taking these steps, you could still run into
identity theft That's why you need to be alert for certain
signs, such as the arrival of unexpected credit cards or
account statements, denials of credit for no apparent rea-
son, or calls or letters regarding purchases you didn't make.
If any of these things happen to you, you may want to
place a "fraud alert" on your credit reports and review
them carefully. To place a fraud alert, you just need to con-
tact one of the three nationwide consumer reporting com-
panies: Equifax 1-800-525-6285; Experian 1-888-397-
3742; or TransUnion 1-800-680-7289.
It's unfortunate that identity theft is part of ouir modem
world. But by taking the proper precautions, and by stay-
ing alert, you can help yourself avoid becoming a statistic.

7:53 p.m. Penumbral eclipse phase begins as the Moon
enters the outer portion of Earth's shadow. No change
in the Moon's appearance will be visible.
8:58 p.m. Moon enters the central umbra of Earth's
shadow, and the partial eclipse phase begins. Observers
in Valdosta will begin to see a "bite" taken out of the
Moon's left side; this will grow over the next hour.'
10:14 p.m. Total eclipse phase begins; the Moon is now
entirely inside the umbra of Earth's shadow. Depending
upon the purity of the Earth's atmosphere, the Moon
may appear reddish in color (if the air is "moderately
dirty") or it may disappear entirely (if the air is very.
clean or very dirty!).

ups were searched.
Reportedly, a few guns were found in vehicles. They
were not believed to be part of the shooting threat, but
guns carried by students are not allowed on the high
school grounds.
Killingsworth noted that it was safer for the students
to remain under supervision in the classrooms than re-
leasing them early.
Killingsworth said the whole thing might be a
prank, but the school could not afford to take that kind
of chance.
Sheriff Pete Bucher described the act as a "terroris-
tic threat" and said that he would like to see criminal
charges filed against whoever wrote the notes.

Lake Park Celebrates Great Annual Report Card


By Michael Curtis
Greene Publishing, Inc.
The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is a state agency that provides
direction and licensure to health practitioners and facilities engaged in a broad range
of services. Among their governance, annual reviews are conducted according to the'
very detailed and rigid guidelines contained in the Quality Indicator Survey (QIS).
The QIS is designed to achieve several objectives. Among these objectives are im-
proving the consistency and accuracy of quality care, holding systematic investigations
to address issues of concern and establish a reporting process that supports quality ob-
jectives. At the end of the day, the QIS annual report is a report card for the institution
in general. In the case of Lake Park of Madison, a Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation


Center, that grade was exceptional.
To acknowledge this achievement and share it with all the staff that made it happen,
Administrator Joyce Denham and her staff provided a steak lunch in celebration. And
from the excited reaction she received, Denham, who temporarily put on her grilling
hat, evidently works a grill with the same care she administers the facility Not leaving
anyone out of course, residents were treated to the delicious steak lunch as well.
Charlene Rye, Director of Admissions and Marketing, noted, "This is an awe-
some achievement and we're so proud for everybody involved. We are a family here.
These are the homes of our residents and we run Lake Park with that in mind. That re-
lationship showed in the great annual report we received from AHCA."
Lake Park of Madison is located at 259 SW Captain Brown Road, Madison, 32340.
The phone number is (850) 973-8277. Anyone interested in touring the facility or wanti-
ng details on volunteer services or entertainment should simply drop by or call. Staff
writer Michael Curtis can be reached at michael(@greenepublishing.com.

What is the best type of dental floss?
Waxed or Unwaxed?
Great Question! We frequently get asked that question. A recent study
published by the University of Texas compared the effectiveness of 3
types of floss (unwaxed, woven and shred resistant) at removing the hard
to reach plaque between teeth and under gums
that is responsible for gum disease and
tooth decay. The results showed no sig-
nificant difference in the effect e-. ..
ness with different types of flos /
My experience has taught me that
patients with tightly touching teeth
prefer waxed or shred resistant. For '
others, traditional unwaxed lo- s .
works best. The answer is they are all.
effective, so try each one and see %ich
you prefer. Remember, the bert floss is the
one you actually use!
