Newberry could see 500 new jobs on horizon
By RHANA GITTENS
Today Reporter
NEWBERRY TechCom, a rice fortifying
company, has expressed a desire to come to
Newberry, said City of Newberry Mayor John
Glanzer.
If TechCom, also known as Advanced
Nutrition Foods Inc., develops offices in
Newberry it will bring up to 500 employment
opportunities with an average salary of $45,000
according to sources close to the project.
The owner of the company, Jon Anfinsen, is
currently negotiating the purchase of property at
State Road 27, Glanzer said.
Once that is done the city will be able to move
further into discussing a possible tax break for
TechCom to entice the company to move into
Newberry.
"It's hard, because you're giving away the
city's money," Glanzer said.
Tax breaks, or "tax abatements" as they are
often called typically occurs when a city or
county forgoes some or even all of their portion of
property taxes in lieu of a larger development
locating within a given area. In many
communities, tax abatements are controversial
because they essentially provide special treatment
to one development, usually a business.
There currently is no ordinance on the city's
books that allows for such a tax break, so the

Alachua Commissioner Jean Calderwood has long lobbied the Florida Department

southeastern entrance near Progress Corporate Park due to safety concerns with
increased traffic in the area.
By CRAIG COX
Today Reporter
ALACHUA- City Commissioner Jean
Calderwood has been lobbying, for the
speed limit on U.S. Highway 441 to be
reduced near Progress Corporate Park for
several years now, but she has met some
difficulty with Florida's speed limit
statutes.
The speed limit on U.S. 441 varies
from 45 to 65 throughout the city of
Alachua, but Calderwood said the speed
limit should be reduced in front of
businesses and churches.
"I think 65 is generally too fast," she
said. "I would think 55 in an area where

the area known as the "TREE"
NW 133 Terr and NW 154 Ave

The "Tree" is a well-known
gathering spot for some
citizens in Alachua. Officers

increased patrols in the area. At
approximately 6 p.m., officers
received more reports of a
physical disturbance, but upon

Original candidate took another job
lar from the truth.
Burch was offered the position on
Friday, but was also deciding on an offer
from the Lake City Police Department,
D1rumm said.
"lie was the front runner after going
through all the information and background
checks," Drumm said.
When reached for contact on Monday,
Burch said he was no longer a candidate for
the City of High Springs and had taken the
police chief position at the Lake City Police
Department.
"That's what's been holding me up,"
Drumm said.
"1 was still trying to finalize [the
decision] with Mr. Burch, but now we're
looking at the other two finalists."
Drumm said it was unfortunate that "it
didn't work out" with Burch, but that he
hoped to have reached a decision between
the other two finalists sometime this week.

But thanks to a $600,000
donation, University of
Florida's College of'
Education is able to fund
new research that could
answer that question for
middle school teachers and
principals.
The fund will create an
endowment aimed at
programs for middle school
reform and enhancement,
said Nancy Dana, director of
the college's Center for
School Improvement.
The research will
concentrate on developing
teacher leadership within
middle schools.
"Middle school is a
really unique time in kids'
lives because they're in the
'tweens.' During this time
they're dealing with a
number of social and
emotional issues that have a
great connection with their
education needs," Dana
said. "Being a middle
school teacher has
challenges because of the
uniqueness of the students."
State mandates have
hindered the educational
programs in middle schools,
said Jim Tenbieg, principal
of Westwood Middle School
in Gainesville.
"Middle school is
changing much to the
disapproval of people at UF,
teachers and
administrators," Tenbieg
said. "The state

requirements are limiting
some of the things that we
could do in the past.",
The Middle 'Grades
Reform Act, created in 2004
under Governor Jeb Bush,
required students who did
not pass the FCAT to have
100 minutes of reading
everyday. That, coupled
with the new restrictions on
class size, has caused
middle schools to have to
cut back on exploratory
electives, Principal Clarke
said.
Oak View Middle School
currently has no art
program. Art programs are
important to kids at this age,
especially sixth-graders who
have recess and other
outlets for their energy,
Clarke said.
"Different things interest
different children," Clarke
said. "Every child is not an
athlete, so we need to have a
variety of programs for
those children."
Principal Tenbieg at
Westwood agrees. "Middle
school is not the warm and
fuzzy place that it used to
be. We're emphasizing
athletics and competition,"
he said. "My philosophy is
these kids need to be kids,
and the requirements we're
putting on them now are
forcing them to grow up too,
quickly."
High Springs Community
School is looking at
changing the way they
formulate classes. They may
have to move students who
are learning at a higher level
to the next grade level
course. Middle school
teachers may have to teach
in multiple grade levels or
courses.
With the new research
that the Shewey fund
supports at UF, principals
and teachers do have hope
for the future.
Fred and Christine
Shewey of Gainesville
donated the $600,000 as a
tribute to their daughter-in-
law, Kathy Shewey, who has
had a long career as a
middle school teacher,
researcher, team leader and
now a district administrator.
Dana heads an advisory
group with Shewey, the
current supervisor of staff
development for Alachua
County public school, Paul
George, a UF distinguished
professor emeritus known as
the father of the middle
school movement, and
Diane Yendel-Hoppey, an
associate professor of
education specializing in
teacher leadership and
professional development,
Dana said..
The core of the board's
research has three different
structures. They include the
development of professional
learning communities for
teachers, a book study to
discuss the books that
students read, and teacher
inquiry, in which teachers
begin to do their own
research.
All three structures will
be utilized, and Alachua
County schools will be the
model, D)ana said. The
research is beginning 'now to
set the stage for August
2008.

COMPUTERS: New computers in service by end of the week
Continued from page A 1
JUMP ROPE:
Continued from page A I
Aimed to raise $7000 this year
Elementary principal.
The school also partners
with the University of
Florida to receive computers
and computer parts, he said.
The computers donated
to the school must have a
Pentium 3 or Pentium 4
processor, which reduces the
availability of useable
computers, he said.
School officials plan to
create a mini computer lab
for fifth grade students, and
they would also like to
upgrade the classroom
computers.
Two computer labs are
being built along with the
TECHCOM: T
Continued from page A41 T
commission and the public will
have to vote on a referendum.
Still, tax breaks such as
property tax abatements, are a
reality for many towns which
hope to attract major
employers.
"This is a big project," he
said. "The initial phase of
development would employ
about 75 people."
The process of rice
fortification deals with adding
key nutrients to the grain after it
is harvested. Rice may be
fortified with iron among other
nutrients to combat malnu-
trition in areas around the world
or among certain populations
such as infants. Many raw
agricultural products are
fortified before finding their
way to market including flour,
refined sugar, and cooking oil.
Word of TechCom comes
years after a previous major
project seemed to fade on
Newberry's landscape. A
new classroom building at
the school, but the labs will
receive all new computers,
Brandenburg said.
"We're getting to use
computers more and more
extensively in the classroom
as an instructional tool," he
said. "Students these days
are pretty computer savvy,
so this is a great opportunity
for them."
Parents should know that
the computers are monitored
by teachers, and the school
district has filters on the
computers to prevent
students from accessing
inappropriate material, he
said.
The new computers
should be up and running by
the end of the week, he said.
"The quality of Web sites
available to students has
vastly improved since a
couple of years ago,"
Brandenburg said. "From
the rings of Saturn to
current events, there's
almost an unlimited amount
of information on any topic
out there to help the
students learn through
technology."
# # #
Among special guests assisting in the event
was Alberta the Alligator, the Santa Fe High
School Interact Club and Santa Fe High School
Athletic Director Michele Faulk.
For the uninitiated, jumping rope is not only
fuin it's a sport and an art. With names such as
"Minute Mania," "Jump the Brook," and "Jump
the Snake," jumping rope is as much fun as it is
healthy. The highlight of all the rope twirling and
jumping was the "endurance jump." Not
recommended for those weak in the knees or
ankles or short of breath endurance jumping
sets the pros apart from the amateurs.
Irby Elementary endurance winners claimed
their titles by jumping for the longest length of
time without a misstep. Ropes churning and feet
flying, first graders and then second graders
faced off against their classmates.
Jump Rope for Heart raises funds for medical
research and for programs such as "HeartPower!"
that help prevent heart disease and stroke.
Students are eager to participate because they
know they have the ability to help save
someone's life, possibly in their own community.
As of Monday Irby Elementary seemed to be
edging near their $7,000 fundraising mark for the
American Heart Association. That's great news
for Irby but comes bittersweet to Crone who
agreed once again to be slimed .in front of the
entire school if they reached their goal.
Irby has raised more than $60,000 over the
past 15 years during the annual Jump Rope for
Heart events.

Editor's Note: In the Feb. 28 edition, Alachua
County Today will run photos of the winners
from Irby Elementary School's Jump Rope For
Heart competition along with final details on
how much money the school raised.

x break could attract company
proposed film studio for the
small town of just 3,800 or so
people was the last major
project on Newberry's horizon.
Several years since much was
made about the would-be film
studio, not a single shovel has
been turned. Now, many people
think Newberry was sold a pipe
dream with that project.
In development and political
circles, Newberry is known for
having permitted Florida Rock
to construct and operate a
cement plant within the town's
limits. Met with fierce
opposition, Newberry found
itself in court justifying its
decision. In the end, the City of
Newberry and Florida Rock
won out against those opposing
the project including Alachua
County itself.
There are no indications
TechCom will be a
controversial project or that it
won't come to fruition at all.
Unlike with the proposed film
studio, TechCom has been
doing its homework with the
City of Newberry before
making any big announcements
or productions about the
possible project.

If fast is good, then slow is better
The best of Ellen Boukari
We've all heard the phrase work smarter not
harder. I think that should be changed to work
slower not faster. With the advent of the
computer, many of today's tech-savvy office
workers have ramped up their productivity and
revved up their interoffice
communications to warp speed.
What used to be the office inbox
(literally) is now a virtual inbox (a 4'
cute little folder labeled "inbox" on
a computer monitor). No postage V
needed. Just press the "send" button ..
and off it goes....and quickly....and
irrevocably. Retrieving a "sent"
email isn't as easy as a quick trot to
the mailroom to shuffle through the
piles of mail waiting for the postal
carrier. Once that send icon has
received the click of the mouse, off
the mail goes Hopefully to the Ellen BoI
right party.
Tales of misdirected emails abound, some
true, some not. But regardless of the contents,
sending an email to the wrong party is downright
embarrassing. Email has become the champion
and the scourge of modern communications. A
careless click and the entire world knows that
your IQ is hovering in double digits. This is
especially true if you made a double fault and
sent your.email to not just one wrong person but
a whole gaggle by pressing the "Reply All"
button. Talk about a home run in reverse! You
would have been better off staying home or going
to the dentist for a root canal.
The real problem with email is that the
opportunity for gaffs expands as the user becomes
ui
n
more adept at the tool. If the wrong email
address doesn't cost you enough heartburn, then
you can count on the wrong attachment to finish
the job. Yes, those photos of your summer
vacation were stunning. Um, was that really you
in the Speedo? What's that? You thought you
sent the file "Fido" not "Speedo"?
And what about those folks with
compulsive emailitis. You know the
type they open each email and
respond in less than 10 minutes. These
are the same folks who check their
email on vacation and when they
Y otherwise are "off the clock." That's
their business, you might say. No
harm done, you might say.
I beg to differ. These are the folks
who are speeding up the universe to
warp speed. Remember when you
actually "mailed" a letter (nowadays
kari known as snail mail)? It took several
days to reach the intended recipient.
And if an answer was required, then
another few days back to you. Or at the least, a
phone call. Either way you had several days for
the circle to be completed. Not so with email and
these people struck with emailitis. Haven't they
ever heard of contemplation or reflection? These
are your colleagues who are making your life
miserable. They can't resist hitting that send
button. And you know when you check your
email, you will have a dozen messages from the
emailitis ward. Talk about computer viruses!
And just how seriously can one take an email
from someone with an address like "bird dog" or
"blue gil" or "chunky punky?" And leave it to
these mavens of drama to send annoying and
irrelevant messages or joke e-mails that are
hopelessly stupid, old or both.
Remember the old "the check is in the mail"
routine? In the world of computers, this excuse
has taken a different spin. Sadly, in what isn't an
uncommon response to a legitimate question, the
respondent fairly chirps, "I'm sorry, I can't
access... that information... your account... the
file.... the history...the transaction, because ...
the computer is down."
Oh happy days! The computer is down, email
has gone AWOL and workers should rejoice.
Take a deep breath and pry those knuckles away
from the keyboard. And take pity on your'
colleagues with emailitis. They will be easily
recognizable as the ones with their bottoms
securely attached to their chairs, bodies leaning
slightly forward with furrowed brows, and fingers
frozen in a gnarled position as they scan their
inbox for word from the outside. Reality hasn't
set in, and denial is more than likely their course
of action. Withdrawal may be painful.
If you are a true friend, escort your coworker
into the break room for a shot of latte. While he
or she is sipping the foam off the top, hurry back
to their computer and reorder all their e-mail
starting in 1999. Oh, they'll figure it out -
eventually. But for a moment, your colleague
experiences emailphoria, that lightheaded feeling
of splendor knowing there are gigabytes of emails
demanding a response. And you, my friend, have
your opportunity to work slower not faster.

Calderwood has voiced her
concern about the high speed
limit to the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT)
several times, she said.
The FDOT representatives
Calderwood spoke with
informed her that a traffic
survey might backfire and
actually raise the speed limit in
some parts of Alachua.
To set speed limits, the
FDOT performs a traffic survey
to determine the average speed
of the vehicles traveling
through a particular section of
road. The speed limit is set
according to the average,
would go up FDOT says
because the slow cars are
considered to be a hazard to the
fast cars, Calderwood said.
"1 told them 1 don't
subscribe to that logic at all,"
she said.
Calderwood said she is
concerned that the high speed
limit could cause accidents on
U.S. 441.
"There have been some
accidents just south of Alachua
where pedestrians got killed,
but I really can't say if the
speed limit was to blame," she
said.
Calderwood has enlisted the
help of developers to get the
speed limit reduced to what she

Developers are responsible to
make sure the traffic they bring
into the city can enter and leave
their property safely, she said.
Calderwood does not put the
entire burden on developers,
however. She said she shares
some of the responsibility of
making sure the citizens of
Alachua are safe.
"All we want to do is raise
the consciousness of those who
can change it," Calderwood
said. "I think it's absolutely our
responsibility to make sure the
agencies and public are aware
that we are concerned and we
would like something to be

Deadline is noon Friday
qualified for the election as of Wednesday.
City commissioners serve three-year terms, and the
seats become open in varying years.
The only position up for election this year is seat 3,
which is currently occupied by Coerper.
Coerper has done a good job as mayor, but the city
needs change, Lee said. The current city commissioners
have worked together for so long that they have a
limited perspective, she said.
"I think Gib is a fine person and I think he is
dedicated and concerned about the city," Lee said, "but
we need some new blood. I would bring a broader
perspective and a fresh start."
Lee also wants to create a more open and flexible
government, she said.
"I'm trying to make sure that everybody has a
voice," Lee said. "And I want to make sure when people
have opposing views they aren't ostracized anrd
considered the enemy."
Qualification, which began on Feb. 15,-will end at
noon on Friday, Feb. 22. Candidates must submit all
required paperwork by the deadline to be qualified to
run in the city's 2008 election.
Candidates must also pay a $25 city fee and a $165
state assessment fee to qualify.

WATER:
Continued from page A 1
Second year in a row for Alachua
the University of Florida
TREEO Center.
The city is now set to
compete against 11 other
regional winners in the state
finals, which will be held April
3 in Tallahassee. If Alachua
wins the state competition it
will move on to the national
level.
The water competition
benefits Alachua in several
areas, including bragging
rights, joked Mike New, City of
Alachua Public Works director.
"That's just in fun though,"
New said. "All the cities that
participate provide a great
service to their residents."
Local celebrity judges
evaluated drinking water
samples based on clarity, color,
odor and taste. Judges included
John Glanzer, City of Newberry
mayor; Wendy Graham, UF
Water Institute director; and
Jack Donovan, Gainesville city
commissioner, according to a
FSAWWA press release.
The judges did not know the
source of the water as they
tested it in order to ensure
impartiality.
Storm Roberts from 98.5
KTK hosted the third-annual
competition. Alachua won the
regional competition last year
also, and the city received an
honorable mention in the state
competition. The city did not
compete in the competition the
first year.
"[We] aim to increase
awareness concerning the
importance of clean drinking
water," said Bryan McDonald,
FSAWWA Region XI chair.
"The future of Florida's water
supply depends on all
stakeholders understanding the
challenges facing us."

When you just want to stay home
By KEES BOER
Todac Entertainment Writer
JAG Season Von DVD
The series Judge Advocate
General (JAG) features David
James Elliott as Harm, Catherine
Bell as Mac, Patrick
Labyorteaux as Bud, and John
Jackson as A.J. This serious
drama centers on a group of
Navy investigators and is family
friendly, though it might be a bit
too complicated for children. All
25 episodes come in a nice
package and I have no
reservation recommending this
product.
Johnny English On DVD
Johnny English, (Rowan
Atkinson) is the only secret
agent that England has left.
Pascal Sauvage (John
Malkovich), a smooth and
somewhat charming
Frenchman, has discovered he is
a descendent to the English
throne and he wants to stake his
claim. His goal: Turn England

into the biggest prison in the
world. His plan has all the
world's inmates housed in
England, put a wall around the
country and leave them there.
This film is one of the
funniest Bond spoofs I have ever
seen, and I have seen a lot of
them. It has all the sophistication
of a Bond film, but the absurdity
of a Mr. Bean episode. The
soundtrack is James Bond like,
eliciting the mood of a Bond
film. Topping all of this, are the
numerous Bond-like scenarios,
but pulled off by the biggest fool
there is. He is the "fool, who just
keeps showing up."
The film is written by the
same writers as the latest Bond
film, 'Die Another Day." If you
look carefully, you can see a
hearse with the word "DAD"
(the acronym for "Die Another
Day") inscribed on it.
Joining Johnny English is
Lorna Campbell (Natalie
Imbruglia). Loma is really the
secret agent who gets English
out of trouble. Imbruglia, a
native Australian, is probably
best known for her pop music
and also her commercial touting
L'Oreal cosmetics.
The DVD has some very
nice surround sound, though the
voices are a bit weak, with the
music overpowering the vocals
at times. But this is only a minor
problem with the film's
soundtrack.
The DVD comes with
English, French and Spanish
subtitles and you can listen to the
film in the same languages.
The DVD also offers a
"making of' featurette
highlighting interviews with the
stars, and how the film was
made. Take note of how the
parachute jump was
accomplished. The film is well
put together, and comes with a
short profile of each character.
For a nice relaxing evening
inside, I recommend this DVD
highly.

Future teachers learn value
of music in education
Special to Alachua County Today
The vast majority of us learned
our ABC's through the alphabet
song, and today teachers are using
music to teach kids everything from
mathematical formulas to the names
of all 50 states. So a recent lesson in
teaching children through song was
a perfect fit for the students at
Newberry High School's Academy
of Early Childhood Education.
Greg Foertter, a music educator
from 02BKids in Gainesville, led
the students in several childhood
classics, including 'Itsy, Bitsy
Spider',and 'I'm Bringing Hdme a
Baby Bumble Bee.' The lesson
included plenty of interaction and
movement, which academy director
Kim McConnell says is essential
when you're working with young
children.
"Songs are a dynamic way for
children to learn," said McConnell.
"Music education provides
preschoolers an opportunity to
develop cooperation, coordination,
imagination and pre-reading skills
in a really fun environment"
The Academy of Childhood
Education is a magnet program
available to any student in Alachua
County. Currently located at
Newberry High School, the
academy will be moving to the
Professional Academies Magnet at
Loften High School in the fall.
The goal of the academy is to
train students to work with young
children. Students who successfully
complete the program can earn
Special to Alachua County Today
credits toward a degree in Santa Fe
Community College's Child
Development program and from
there move on to the Early
Childhood Education program at
the University of Florida. They can
also earn a state certificate as an
Early Childhood Professional and
complete up to 40 hours of the
coursework required by the
Department of Children and
Families for all child care
workers-all while still in high
school. McConnell says many of
her students will ultimately become
teachers.
"There is a growing need for
teachers," she said. "Through our
program students can become
qualified and compassionate
educators of young children."
The recent music lesson is just
one of many hands-on learning
opportunities students can
experience through the academy in
such areas such as lesson planning,
storytelling and developmental play.
They also work directly with
younger children in local pre-
schools, which gives them more
valuable experience.
"Students have an opportunity
to put what they've learned in the
classroom to use in a real-world
setting," said McConnell. "They
understand why they're having
children do a certain activity and
what sort of results they're trying to
achieve. A good teacher has a
purpose for every activity."

about 40 days. We
are reminded of
several Biblical
events that were
centered around
three people
Moses, the
Lawgiver, who
went up the The Ven.,
mountain to receive Leasure
the Ten All Saints
Commandments Church, C
from God; Elijah, A parish o
Christian
the prophet, who Church
stood against all the
false prophets of his day; and,
most importantly, Jesus Christ,
who is the fulfillment of God's
Law and the Instrumental Voice
of God, speaking directly to
mankind. Jesus is the perfect
embodiment and fulfillment of
Moses and Elijah, lawgiver and
prophet. Each of these men was
supernaturally sustained, for f40
days and nights, dwelling in the
presence of God, by grace and
faith. If we attempt to keep this
Lenten season of sacrifice and
spiritual discipline without
relying upon the same grace that
sustained them, we are sure to
fail.
We must rely on God's grace
or we are liable to fall into the
sin of those in the Ephesian
Church, as described in the
second chapter of Revelation;
well doing in good works,
patient in suffering, unyielding
in a commitment to truth, yet
J<
A

Of
E
lacking in love, the most
important virtue of all. Today's
watered down version of
Christianity gets its provisions
by the strength of its own right
arm rather than relying on the
grace of God.
Such religion looks
.4 like it is armed for
,:f battle against the
" world, actively
defending the
Gospel against its
enemies, striking
out at the roots of
perceived error and
church abuse, but
ohn E. it lacks the spirit of
Christ, which is
knglican essential to the
ainesville. work that the
the Church is called to
episcopal do.
There have
been many
sermons on the need simply to
love and put aside all
differences in truth. But that is
not what is called for in I
Corinthians 13:1. Truth can
cause division-without
apology, it ,seprates against
error, falsehood, and heresy; it
is not the great unifying
principle of mankind. There is
no compromising with error,
and yet the single most
dangerous and ignored fact is,
that knowledge without love is
vanity-it is worthless and
empty.
In the Gospel of Saint Luke
18:31, the Lord is pronouncing
the final words of his sermon on
the terrible humiliations He
must suffer for the sins of
mankind, describing how the
unbelievers will mock,
spitefully entreat, spit, scourge,
and finally put him to death.
His followers begin to show the
same unbelieving spirit towards
a blind beggar who cries, for
mercy.
This poor man requires only
one thing of Christ, mercy. His
need is simple and his plea is
unrelenting. This man is a
perfect Lenten model to follow,
cutting our needs down to one
thing-begging Christ to be
present with us and to extend
His mercy to us. Realizing this
one need would encourage more
spirituality within each of us
during the forty days of Lent
than to read a library full of
books on theology. This cry
from our heart is the window to
heaven. It is borne of love for
God rather than love of self; the
entire law is fulfilled in Loving
God above all else.
These devout followers of
Christ, the very men who might
have known the love of God
performed in miracle after
miracle, would block the love of
God from a man crying out for
mercy. We know that the heart
of God towards repentant
mankind is to act in love and
extend mercy. It is man, not
God, who would shut up God's
mercies from mankind.
Lent is a season to reflect
upon the simple need of God's
mercy, a season during which
every effort to improve our
,spiritual condition must be
begun, continued, and ended in
a plea for God to look
mercifully upon us. Repentance
just for the sake of keeping the
Lenten season is meaningless,
but repentance which comes
from a heart recognizing the
love of God towards those in
need, produces saints. And that
is our goal-to imitate our
Lord.
We are cautioned to
undertake the season ahead in a
repentant manner, but focused
upon the love and mercy of God
toward mankind. Our sacrifice
is to be an imitation of our
Lord's sacrifice, offered up to
Heaven out of love. As we
begin our Lenten pilgrimage, let
us prepare our hearts by
remembering that the same
Lord who mercifully gave sight
to the blind beggar will also
give us eyes to behold Him
throughout eternity as we, too,
throw ourselves upon His
mercy.

Medtronic has pulled its Sprint Fidelis defibrillation leads from the market
after fractures in the leads were linked to five patient deaths. Patients
with these leads may have received a warning letterfrom the manufacturer.
A fractured lead "can cause the defibrillator to deliver unneces-
sary shocks or not operate at all."
If you have a Sprint Fidelis lead, your Patient ID card should contain one of
the following four sets of numbers:
6930 6931 6948 6949
(These numbers may be shown at the beginning of a longer set of numbers on your ID0 card.)
In addition, the St. Jude Riata defibrillator lead has been reported to
punch holes in the heart and has been linked to at least
one death.
