A concealed weapons firearm class will betaught at the Cherry Lake fire range this Saturday,Nov. 19, beginning at 9 a.m.

The Madison County Sheriff ’s Office has beenoffering concealed carry weapons classes sinceApril of this year. During this time, 45 students fromFlorida and Georgia have received training to ob-tain their Florida Concealed CarryWeapons permit. These studentsranged in age from 18 to 70years old. The National Ri-fle Association (N.R.A.)First Steps Pistol course isthe foundation for the Sher-iff ’s Office concealed carryclass. In addition, informa-tion is provided to ensurethat each student is aware ofwhat they can expect to takeplace before, during and afterviolent confrontations andhow they, as individuals, canbest prepare for these dy-namics. This instruction isnot the typical two-hour gunshow concealed carry course.It is very important that youmake a personal decision con-cerning what you are wanting toaccomplish through the courseyou select. According to CaptainJoost, there are basically three types of concealedcarry courses. The first type is for those who justwant to become barely legal. This may be fine if sur-viving an armed confrontation is not really a con-cern or a priority for you. The second type of coursemay enable you to barely survive. The third type ofcourse offers you a winning foundation for you tokeep building upon. This is the type of course we

are offering through the Madison County Sheriff ’sOffice. Our personal goal is to help you establish afoundation so that you win and not just merely sur-vive. This class far exceeds the requirements to ap-ply for the State of Florida Concealed WeaponsCarry Permit for residents and non-residents. YourFlorida Concealed Weapons Carry permit is hon-

ored in 36 states. These classesare taught by N.R.A.

multi-discipline lawe n f o r c e m e n tfirearms instructorswho are activeS.W.A.T. team mem-bers and U.S. militaryveterans.

The cost of the con-cealed carry weaponsclass is $85.00. This in-cludes a booklet, con-cealed carry weaponsapplication packetincluding finger-print card, firing

range fees, am-munition, tar-g e t s ,

professional in-struction, personalized firingrange time and course certifi-

cates. Fees will be used to pay in-structors, pay for supplies, range maintenance andupgrades. Due to the small class sizes and instructorto student ratio, it is required that a non-refundable$50.00 deposit be received at the time of your regis-tration. The balance will be due on the day of theclass. There is a reduced rate for each additionalmember of a group. Ammunition for .45, 9mm, .40

Editor’s note: “Stray Vectors” isthe author’s byline for randomthoughts on the passing scene.

There are now more than 46 mil-lion Americans who fit the definitionof poor, but it all depends upon whatcriteria the Department of Agricul-ture uses to make that determination.It may not be much comfort, but our“poor” people are actually quite richwhen compared to other poor peopleacross the globe.

Emerald Greene recently wrotean editorial where she said that weneed to return worship and God to thepublic square … and she’s dead-onright. We have paid an enormous cul-tural price since the Supreme Courtdecision a half century ago to create a“wall of separation” between churchand state. We are a nation founded onJudeo-Christian principles and weneed to return to our roots. Health insurance in Massachu-

setts, where Romneycare served asthe model for last year’s AffordableCare Act, is not only the most expen-sive in the nation, but is growing at afaster rate than any other state. Don’ttell me that Obamacare will cost less!Speaking of Obamacare, next

year the Supreme Court will reviewthe legal challenges to the 2010 healthcare bill. The key issue is the “indi-vidual mandate” which requires allAmericans to purchase a health in-surance policy. Can the federal gov-ernment require us to purchasesomething? If so, do we sacrifice allliberty to the will of Congress?A recent news report indicated

that Madonna feared for the safety ofher children when a stalker brokeinto her home. I have a suggestion forthe “material girl:” get a gun. Folksaround here know that a .357 Mag-num discourages home invasion.

A year after his death, JohnMurtha’s (D-PA) case file of politicalcorruption has been released by theFBI. For years, he had been using hispowerful House defense chairman-ship to establish a cozy relationshipbetween lobbyists and sham contrac-tors to benefit family and friends. Hebanked millions in taxpayer funds forpersonal gain. The Justice Depart-ment ought to go after his estate …but they won’t.Have you seen the video of the

outdoor wedding where a gust ofwind enveloped the wedding party in

a cloud of dust? Call me old fash-ioned, but I prefer traditional wed-dings in places of worship where thereligious symbolism is followed. Theweather and elements are more pre-dictable indoors.The late economist Herbert Stein

penned Stein’s Law: “Things thatcan’t go on forever, don’t.” I wouldamend that to say, “unless they areupdated for the times and economicreality.” Social Security andMedicare are two that come to mind.In similar fashion, out-of-control pen-sions are exposing the inherent weak-ness in defined benefit plans.“I contend that for a nation to try

to tax itself into prosperity is like aman standing in a bucket and tryingto life himself up by the handle.”Winston Churchill“A government which robs Peter

to pay Paul can always expect the sup-port of Paul.” George Bernard Shaw“Giving money and power to gov-

ernment is like giving whiskey andthe car keys to teenage boys.” P.J.O’Rourke“I don’t make jokes. I just watch

the government and report the facts.”Will Rogers“Talk is cheap … except when

Congress is in session.” Unknown“You cannot multiply wealth by

dividing it.”I think the government has a role

in promoting the research and devel-opment of new technologies, butwhen it begins to subsidize produc-tion, that is way over the line. Spend-ing money for R&D on green energymay be appropriate, but the Oba-mamites have far exceeded that withcompanies like Solyndra. I had intended to write about the

Keystone Pipeline this week, but theowners have decided to reroute theTransCanada pipeline away from theNebraska Sandhills. But don’t be sur-prised if another opposition grouparises to throw a monkey-wrench inthis proposal. Welcome to the age of“paralysis by analysis.”Speaking of keystone, the Key-

stone State is Pennsylvania, and it’s asad thing to watch what is happeningto Penn State. More bad news is onthe way. The fall from grace of foot-ball coach Joe Paterno is sad. Hestayed around too long. When a greatinstitution is more known for itstenured coach, a crash is inevitable.Better to step aside gracefully onyour own terms.

Dan Call was a Lutheran ministerin southcentral Tennessee during themid-1800’s. He ran a general store atLouse Creek, as well as a distillerywhere he made whiskey. He took in a local boy named

Jasper, who was approximately nineyears old at the time. No one knew hisexact age because the family’s recordswere destroyed in a courthouse fire.Jasper was the 10th of Calaway andLucinda’s 13 children, and his motherhad died when Jasper was less than ayear old. When his father re-married afew years later, Jasper did not getalong with his stepmother, so he ranaway. That’s how he met Minister Call,and he went to work for him in his gen-eral store and in his distillery. Dan owned a slave named Nearest

Green, and it was Green who taughtJasper how to make whiskey the Ten-nessee way. One day in the 1850’s, Dan’s wife

gave him a choice: Either keep makingwhiskey, or keep preaching, but notboth. He chose to keep preaching, sohe sold his whiskey-making business,his store and his farm to 13-year-oldJasper. Jasper was too young to fight in

the Civil War, but not too young to sellhis whiskey to the soldiers – both toUnion soldiers and to Confederate sol-diers. When the Civil War ended, the fed-

eral government levied a tax on distil-leries. In 1866, the 16-year-old Jasperbecame the first person to register hisdistillery. While other distillery opera-tors refused to pay for licenses,Jasper’s license became known in theindustry as License # 1, and every bot-tle of whiskey that comes from his dis-tillery states that it is the oldestregistered distillery in the UnitedStates.

When he was 19, Jasper bought aproperty known as Cave Spring Hol-low and re-established his new opera-tion there. The cold, pure spring waterat Cave Spring Hollow was one of thekeys to his distillery business’s suc-cess. Another key was his constantpromotion of his brand of whiskey.Jasper’s promotions included be-

ing the first to use a hot air balloon toadvertise his whiskey. Another promo-tion was using a square bottle whenother distilleries were still sellingtheir whiskey in jugs.Another event that could techni-

cally be called a promotion was win-ning the Gold medal for the “world’sfinest whiskey” at the 1904 World’sFair in St. Louis. Jasper, who by thistime was going by his nickname ofJack, had it all figured out – from ap-prentice as a young boy, to businessowner by the time he was 13, to busi-ness tycoon as an adult.You’ve heard of the whiskey, even

if you don’t recognize the name ofMinister Dan Call and the nine-year-old runaway boy who worked for him. The fact that the nation’s best-

known brand of whiskey began with aminister, his slave and his nine-year-old apprentice is kind of ironic, isn’t it?And isn’t it ironic that one cannot

buy whiskey in the town of Lynch-burg, where the company is located,because it is in a dry county?It’s even more ironic that you still

haven’t figured out the full name ofthe apprentice whose brand ofwhiskey bears his name?Jasper “Jack” Daniel.

Folks may have heard of “Meals on Wheels,” but Monroe Lee takes his therapy ‘dogs on wheels’ travel-ing all over the region, visiting the residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. He gets thedogs from friends who are breeders, and has recently decided, on the advice of one friend, to name all hisnew dogs after characters in the Bible. That way, the friend said, the Lord would protect them and theywouldn’t get stolen. Thus, the collie Lee acquired to replaced one of his stolen canine friends is named Sam-son. Left to right are five of the dogs Lee currently travels with: Ice (who is also the mother of two puppies,Blue and Star) Cassius Clay, Samson, Diamond and Moon.

The first thing onemight notice, drivingpast Carolyn Edwards’house on Sumter Avenuejust off Lake Frances,are the two large brownrabbit statues standingattentively among thepentas and Michaelmasdaisies as if to greet vis-itors.

Then next thing onemight notice is the earlycamellia trained to growflat against the frontwall beside the frontporch, its white bloomsset off by the greenleaves and the red brickwall. Up on the porch it-

self, filling an entire cor-ner, is a gigantic fern. Itsits on a high stand, withfronds that rise almostall the way up to the ceil-ing and sweep all theway down to the floor. Itlooks almost like a jollygreen giant of a thingthat could get up andshamble down the frontsteps, across the yard,and down to LakeFrances if it had a mindto.

Carolyn Edwards,Winner of the MadisonGarden Club’s Yard ofthe Month for Novem-ber, said that she grewthe gigantic fern from asingle cutting given to

her many years ago by agood friend, MackPrimm, former princi-pal of Madison HighSchool, where Edwardswas a business teacher.He brought the cuttingback with him from atrip to Alabama, andever since then, Ed-wards has treasured thefern that grew from it.

Two other largeferns flank the front en-trance, although they’renot nearly as big as the“Alabama fern.”

The back yard isedged with groups ofwhimsical birdhousesand more garden statu-ary, more flowers and a

birdbath or two. With ayard that inviting, itwouldn’t be completewithout the nice littlepatio where Carolyn andher husband Bill can sitand watch the birds, but-terflies and all the otherwildlife that visit theirlittle backyard haven.

Carolyn’s artistry is-n’t limited to the out-doors; she does tattingand is also a talentedpainter, working withoils and watercolor. Sev-eral framed examples ofher work hang on thewall inside her home.

For her love of grow-ing things and her atten-tion to detail that makesher yard such a treat tolook at, she will have the“Yard of the Month Win-ner” sign from the Madi-son Garden Club todisplay in her front yardfor the entire month ofNovember.

Are you ready for 24 hours without cigarettes? That's what the Great Amer-ican Smokeout is all about. Each year on the third Thursday of November, TheAmerican Cancer Society (ACS) organizes the Smokeout. According to ACS,more Americans try to quit smoking on this day than any other day of the year,including New Year's Day.

What does it take to participate? Just you. There's nothing to join or buy orsign up for. You simply commit to quit for one day. You can do that, right?

Here are some tips to make this year's Smokeout a success.

FOLLOW A PLAN OF ACTIONIf you're reading this you have already started "the plan".You've already decided that you want to know more about quitting. The first

step is to make a decision that you want to quit. Also, be sure you know WHYyou are quitting. Is it to improve your health? Save money? Improve your lovelife? Get a clear picture in your mind of the reason why you want to quit, so youhave a clear "end-goal".

PREPARE AND SUCCEEDThe next step is to get ready to quit. Most successful quitters don't just fin-

ish a cigarette, then say, "That's the last cigarette I'll every smoke," and quit ona whim. Instead, successful quitters prepare for the day when they will quit. Toprepare for your quit, decide what day you'll quit. In this case, plan to quit onthe Great American Smokeout day. You'll have lots of other people around youdoing the same thing, plus support on the radio, TV and other media.

DECIDE HOW YOU'LL QUITDecide on the method you'll use to quit. Will you quit cold turkey and use

sheer willpower to quit? Or will you opt to use nicotine patches or nicotinegum? Have you considered Zyban?

What about other methods such as gradually reducing the number of ciga-rettes you smoke each day?

Visit http://www.quitsmoking.com for many different methods, ideas andproducts that you can use to quit.

KEEP THE NICODEMON AWAYOnce you've decided on your method for quitting, and actually quit, you'll

be tempted to smoke again. You can make staying quit easier if you follow somesimple guidelines:

Stay away from other smokers. This may be difficult if you've made somegreat friends on your smoking breaks. But being around other smokers will teardown your resolve, at least in the beginning of your quit. Stay out of bars andother places where smoking is common.

Discard all your cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays. Don't leave anything inyour environment that might remind you or tempt you to smoke.

Stay out of convenience stores or other places where you commonly pur-chase cigarettes.

When you have a bad craving for a cigarette take a deep breath, drinksome water, go for a short walk, or do something else to distract yourself. Crav-ings will subside in just a minute or two, whether or not you smoke.

Exercise. The benefits to smokers are tremendous. You'll improve yourhealth, and find that quitting is much easier when you are exercising. Exercis-

ing can easily relieve stress that you tried to relieve by smoking. Smoking andexercise are not compatible. Let exercise replace smoking in your life.

Plan rewards for yourself. Quitting smoking IS a big deal and anyonewho does it deserves a big reward. Of course, quitting itself is the biggest re-ward, but you should also make a list of rewards that you'll give yourself whenyou pass certain milestones. For example, after one week of being smoke-free,you might buy yourself a new CD or movie. After one month, go out to a nicedinner. After 6 months or a year, take a reward vacation.

Write down the rewards. Put them on your calendar and give yourself agoal to work toward. With all the money you'll save by not smoking, you'll beable to afford to reward yourself !

NOW GET STARTEDThe Great American Smokeout is a great way to prove to yourself that you

can quit for a day. But if you can quit for one day, you can surely quit for a week,or a month or a year. Give it a chance and next year you won't have to thinkabout the Smokeout.

Re-read this article, then follow the directions. It's simple and within yourreach.

Thursday, November 17, marks the 36th GreatAmerican Smokeout, sponsored by the AmericanCancer Society. [, Tobacco Free Madison and theFlorida Department of Health and Tobacco FreeFlorida are celebrating this event by encouragingFloridians to commit to being tobacco-free for 24hours on Thursday.

The Great American Smokeout challengessmokers to plan in advance to quit smoking that day,or to use the day to make a plan to quit. A compre-hensive quit plan is an essential part of a successfulquit attempt. The event raises awareness about thedangers of smoking and the many effective re-sources available to successfully quit.

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause ofdisease and premature death in the United States.iCigarette use alone results in an estimated 28,700deaths in Florida each year.ii Despite the known dan-gers of smoking, more than 2.5 million Floridians,or 17.1 percent of the adult population, are currentcigarette smokers.iii

But there’s good news. From 2007 to 2010, thesmoking rate for adults in Florida decreased by 18.6percent, resulting in nearly 500,000 fewer smokers.About 64 percent of adults in the state who haveever smoked have quit and there are more formersmokers in Florida than current smokers.iv

Seven out of 10 adult smokers report that theywant to quit completely.v In 2010, 52.8 percent of cig-arette smokers in Florida made a quit attempt.vi

Those who weren’t successful should continue try-ing because most former smokers make several at-tempts before finally quitting permanently.vii Infact, the average smoker attempts to quit betweeneight and 11 times before ultimately quitting for

good.viii

“The Great American Smokeout is a motivatingevent that’s sponsored by the American Cancer So-ciety, an invaluable partner in our efforts to supportcurrent tobacco users to quit,” said Kim Berfield,Deputy Secretary for the Florida Department ofHealth. “We encourage Floridians to make this daythe day they commit to quit smoking, the most im-portant step they can take for a healthier and longerlife.”

Tobacco Free Florida offers a number of freeand convenient resources to help smokers quit.

tion and prevention campaign funded by Florida’stobacco settlement fund. The program is managedby the Florida Department of Health, specificallythe Bureau of Tobacco Prevention Program.

ty. Since its inception in February 2008, TFF has

DEFENSEOFFENSE

Madison County would like to con-gratulate the girls from the MadisonAcademy Volleyball for have a greatseason. The Madison Academy volley-ball team ended their season with awinning record of 9-5 playing theirlast game against Corinth on Hal-loween night, October 31.

While the Academy volleyballteam might have been young, that did-n’t stop them from having a great sea-son. There were 14 girls on this year’steam: four fifth graders, five sixthgraders, four seventh graders and onlyone eighth grader. Each girl got to playevery single game, something thatmany teams can’t say.

The captain for the Academy thisyear is Katelyn McCamman, and theco-caption changes each week. Thehead coach this year is Cathy Rogers,Assistant Coach is Julie Townsendand scorekeeper is Melissa McCam-man.

Cathy Rogers, head coach for theMadison Academy volleyball girls saidof her team, “The improvement thatthe players have shown is amazing! Icouldn't be more proud of these girlsand how they had to dig deep andcome from behind in most games toearn a win. The teamwork they exhib-ited throughout the season was an as-set for sure! My goal is to continueworking with these girls and sign upfor a volleyball camp this summer!

The Aucilla ChristianAcademy Warriors endedtheir 2011 football seasonon a high note Fridayevening when they over-whelmed nonconferenceopponent Bronson by ascore of 32-6, securing onelast victory against for-mer longtime ACA headcoach Al Cooksey in hislast game before retire-ment. The victory, whichwas dubbed “The OmegaBowl”, leaves the War-riors with an overallrecord of 7-3, which repre-sents Aucilla’s best recordin four years.

It was a game whichwas appropriately domi-nated by the efforts of thesenior class, which playedits final game in the blueand gold of Warrior tradi-tion. As the closing sec-onds ticked away in thehigh school football ca-reers of those six youngmen, the entire Aucillafootball team ralliedaround to raise theOmega Bowl trophy highabove a poignant scene ofhappy tears and smileswhich represented yearsof sweat and labor on thegridiron. It didn’t seem tomatter that the tempera-ture was below freezingfor the fans, coaches, andplayers as they madememories long after theclock read zero.

Aucilla head coachColby Roberts comment-ed on the success enjoyedin the game, saying, “Thisis a night that everyonewill remember long afterthis year is over. For theseniors who played theirlast game as a Warriortonight, the outcome isone that they can alwayslook back on and beproud. We didn’t have thesharpest mentality in thefirst half, but the boyswere ready to take controlof the game in the thirdquarter and they tookcare of their business tosend the seniors out withstyle.”

It was indeed a sloppyfirst half show for boththe offense and defense ofthe Warriors as the physi-cal battle in the trenchesalong the line of scrim-mage favored the Eaglesof Bronson. The Warriordefensive line was oftencontrolled by their Bron-son counterparts as theEagles established a phys-ical running game planthat featured simple full-

back rushes into the cen-ter of the Warrior forma-tion that consistentlygained valuable yardage.

Offensively in thefirst half, the Warriorsmissed several scoring op-portunities when promis-ing drives ended withcostly turnovers ordropped passes thatthwarted an otherwise ex-plosive demonstration,leaving the score as an un-necessarily close 12-6 Au-cilla advantage at the half.

However, the War-riors arrived with a newsense of focused determi-nation as the third quar-ter began, servingBronson with a taste of itsown physical brand offootball.

Offensively, seniorrunning back Phillip Wattprovided his best perfor-mance of the season inthe second half, constant-ly gashing the Bronsondefense en route to a twotouchdown, 145 yard per-formance while averagingover 11 yards per carry. Asa team, Aucilla rushed forits highest total of the sea-son, finishing with 272yards rushing and four ofits five touchdowns.

Senior quarterbackTrent Roberts eclipsedthe 300 yard passing markfor the second time thisseason, totaling 306 yardsand one touchdown, whilethrowing three intercep-tions. Roberts’ arm pre-sented the mostelectrifying plays of theentire night, connectingon 7 of his passes forgains of at least 20 yards.

Cousins Tyler andJared Jackson paced theWarriors’ receiving corpwith 100 yards each, withjunior Jared Jacksonscoring the solitary re-ceiving touchdown.

Defensively, Aucillastymied the Bronsonrushing attack in the sec-ond half by employing ablitzing linebackerscheme that successfullyplugged holes and put anend to the Eagles’ bread-and-butter offensivemethod.

It was a huge im-provement over the scenefrom the first half, asnearly every defender wasinvolved in bringing theBronson offense to itsknees. Gang tackling be-came the most usefulweapon, as 8 Aucilla de-fenders recorded at least 6tackles.

Defensive leaders in-cluded: junior linebacker

Gus Smyrnios, who fin-ished with 19 total tackles,including 1 ½ for loss; se-nior defensive tackleCorey Burrus, who to-taled 14 tackles to go alongwith one sack and a tacklefor loss; and freshmanlinebacker Timmy Bur-rus, who tallied 10 tackles,as well as a sack.

“This was certainly agritty win for us, and I’mproud that it was the se-nior class that led ustonight.” said Coach Col-by Roberts. “The entireseason has been aboutovercoming adversity, andthis game was no excep-tion. Half of the seniorswere dealing with painfulinjuries that would side-line almost anyone else,but they fought throughto leave Aucilla as a groupof winners. That is thekind of football playersthat coaches always lookfor.”

Senior Class Lifts Warriors To Seventh Win to Close Season

Project Safe Zone – aSafe Schools/Healthy Stu-dents initiative in theMadison County SchoolDistrict – conducted a se-ries of bullying preven-tion events throughoutOctober in recognition ofNational Bullying Preven-tion Month. Designed tocreate awareness and re-cruit parents, the activi-ties were part of theOlweus Bullying Preven-tion Program, a provenapproach that has beensuccessful in both ruraland urban school dis-tricts.

According to numer-ous studies, however,parental and communityengagement are essentialto creating and sustainingthese positive behavior

changes. Consequently,Project Coordinator Oc-tavious Tookes chargedCommunications Consul-tant Michael Curtis withdeveloping a successfulparental and communityoutreach strategy to com-plement staff training.Bullying prevention com-mittees were subsequent-ly organized at eachdistrict school with theguidance of Tookes andPrevention SpecialistDenise Robinson, whoalso facilitated the stafftraining regarding re-porting and proper han-dling of bullyingincidents. Impressively,the school district’s Codeof Conduct was revisedand streamlined as a re-sult of this process.

Capitalizing on the fa-vorable timing of Nation-al Bullying PreventionMonth, Project Safe Zonesponsored a variety ofschool prevention eventsthroughout October, con-cluding in the Run, Walk,Roll Against Bullying ral-ly, which was held on Oc-tober 29, 2011 at LakeFrancis. Wearing brightorange shirts, colorfullystating, “Orang-cha GladYou’re Not A Bully,” staffand numerous local nota-bles joined students whowere also encouraged towear orange clothing dur-ing Unity Day activities,which were held at theschools on October 12,and then again at the bigcommunity rally. Thesespirited displays includedskits, dances, raps, andother memorable perfor-mances.

Madison Countycivic, faith-based andbusiness leadershipjoined school planners tointroduce this inauguralRun, Walk, Roll AgainstBullying rally. Designedto jump start the parentand community partici-pation element of the Ol-weus program,attendance was estimatedat over 400, an unprece-dented number for an in-augural event of this

kind. Guest speakers fea-tured in Merv Mattair’snewest book were ap-plauded for their journeyfrom bullying to bestfriends. Recognizing theimportance of the event,the regional CBS televi-sion affiliate, WCTV 6 inTallahassee, covered theevent, also promoting iton their Live at 5 spotlightearlier in the week.

Project Safe Zone in-cludes bullying preven-tion, mentoring, truancy,safety and mental health.Emphasizing healthychoices and positive be-haviors vital to studentperformance, bullyingprevention was the natur-al flagship of the currentphase of the initiative.Practically speaking, bul-lying prevention is essen-tial to get students andclassrooms to a placewhere teaching and learn-ing can take place withoutdisruption, and accordingto Olweus, parental in-volvement is mandatoryfor this to occur.

“Bullying preven-tion is our top priority,”noted Tookes. “Adminis-trators and instructorsare trained and aware ofthe benefits of the Ol-weus program. Now wemust continue to con-nect with parents and

community stakehold-ers to experience thepositive outcomes in thisphase of the project,” headded. “We are grateful

to all the parents, com-munity partners and es-pecially to our greatstudents for making it areality.”

MCHS FCCLA Celebrates Family NightAnd Discuss Year’s Plans

(NAPSI )—Here ’sfood for thought: Re-search shows that eatinga variety of cookedseafood two to threetimes each week hashealthy benefitsthroughout life. Preg-nant and breastfeedingwomen are encouragedto eat more seafood be-cause it boosts their ba-bies’ brain development.For adults, eating therecommended amount ofseafood helps protectagainst the No. 1 causeof death: heart disease.However, Americans, es-pecially pregnantwomen, are not eatingenough seafood. In fact,most people should atleast double the amountof seafood they eat tomeet the recommendedamounts for the best pos-sible health.

Recently, the WorldHealth Organization andthe Food and Agricul-ture Organization of theUnited Nations released

a report that looked atthe effects of eating ornot eating seafood. Thereport said if pregnantand breastfeedingwomen don’t eat plentyof seafood, their babiesmight miss out on thebest possible brain de-velopment. A low-seafood diet can alsoincrease the risk of dy-ing from heart disease.The U.S. government’sDietary Guidelines forAmericans recommendthat all adults, includingpregnant women, eatmore seafood.

“Many studies haveshown that seafood pro-vides great health bene-fits in adults, such asreduced risk for heartdisease,” said Dr. J.Thomas Brenna, Ph.D.,professor of human nu-trition at Cornell Uni-versity. “It isparticularly importantfor women to eat seafoodduring pregnancy to pro-vide their developing ba-

bies with crucial nutri-ents. In fact, limiting oravoiding seafood whenyou’re pregnant can re-sult in slower eye andbrain development.”

These recommenda-tions are based on thefindings from hundredsof scientific studies andare supported by leadingnutrition, public healthand medical experts. Butwhat the reports don’tdo much of is tell Amer-icans how to make thischange and add moreseafood to their diet. Thegood news is that thereare easy ways to eatmore seafood.

Chef and nutrition-ist Robin Miller, who isalso the host of FoodNetwork’s “Quick FixMeals” and a best-sellingauthor, agrees. “Thereare many easy, tastyways that people can in-corporate seafood intotheir diets,” says Miller.“One of my favoriteseafood options is

canned tuna or tuna in apouch, as it is affordableand can be used to makea quick, low-calorie mealeasily prepared athome.”

Miller’s new cook-book, “Robin Takes 5,”includes 500 recipeseach with five ingredi-ents or fewer and with500 calories or less perserving. Robin recom-mends many differenttypes of protein, andseafood is a key ingredi-ent in many of therecipes, such as this one:

Tuna Pasta Saladwith Roasted Red Peppers

Serves 4Prep time: 10 min-

utesCooking time: 10

minutes

12 ounces spiral pas-ta

½ cup light mayon-naise

1 tablespoon Dijonmustard

8 ounces light tunain water (preferablyfrom the pouch)

1 cup diced roastedred peppers

Cook the pasta ac-cording to the package di-rections. Drain andtransfer the pasta to alarge bowl. Whisk togeth-er the mayonnaise andmustard and add to thepasta. Stir to coat. Foldin the tuna and roastedpeppers. Season to tastewith salt and freshlyground black pepper.

To add more seafoodto your diet and get itshealth benefits, try thesetips:

• Swap Proteins—Re-place the usual protein(such as beef or chicken)in your favorite recipeswith seafood for a tastytwist. For example, trytuna in your tacos in-stead of beef.

• Incorporate SmallBites—Seafood doesn’tneed to be your maindish; it can be part ofsnacks, appetizers, evenbreakfast. Try salmonon your bagel or crab-meat in your quiche.

• Go for Conve-nience—Busy peopleneed quick solutions andseafood is full of nutri-ents, whether it is fresh,frozen or canned. Sochoose a convenient op-tion that fits yourlifestyle.

President, Florida Academy of General DentistryLet us feature your questions.

Contact us at (850) 250-5964 or rkshaw@agd.org Ask the Dentist is devoted to answering your

questions about the Art and Science of Dentistry.

Question:Why does my mouth feel like it is burning all the time?

Answer:Wow! It is no fun at all when you mouth is burning all the

time. It feels like it is on fire and it will not go away. You geta little bit of a reprieve from sipping water but then it comesright back. Your coworker suggested that medicineymouthwash which hurt so bad you just about went into orbit.

Even eating a meal is another adventure in pain. Any salton the food and you have pain. Forget french fries totally.Any vinegar like ketchup or mustard…same pain. This hasreally become a problem and this is not the kind of weightloss plan you had in mind. Are you destined to oatmeal formonths?

You have even been on several rounds of antibiotics andstill it is worse. On top of the whole thing you had a sinusinfection. Luckily the sinus infection has gone away.

I would not wish this on anyone. It is very painful andcertainly interferes with daily living. As a dentist, it isinteresting to research the various maladies that can initiateburning mouth. There are numerous obscure maladies whichclaim to be associated with burning mouth. If you are goingon Jeopardy and want obscure knowledge, just Google“burning mouth”. If you just want relief and you want it bytomorrow, as your dentist to prescribe medicine for an oralyeast infection. Sometimes called thrush. Yes, oral thrush isa complication of too many antibiotics (for sinus infections asan example). If you treat a yeast infections with bacterialantibiotics, the yeast will just get worse. Alcohol basedmouthwash will make it worse. Salt and acidic vinegar willmake it hurt.

Treatment involves antifungal medicines like Nystatin orthe more convenient lozenges. The only caution I shouldgive you is that yeast infections take a couple of weeks to goaway. You also need to identify why you had it to begin with.If you and your dentist can identify what caused it you candesign a strategy to keep it from coming back. Everybodyneeds a french fry ever now and then.

Elephants and tigers, ponies and pigs…and a lit-tle choo-choo train made of large blue barrels put onwheels and linked together behind a small tractor.

The Nov. 4 Friday evening Fall Festival at Pinet-ta Elementary School had a little bit of everything.

Okay, the tiger was a bounce house that lookedlike a huge friendly cartoon tiger lying on his back,paws in the air, while children bounced on his tum-my. There was only one elephant, but it was real andit was big, waiting for brave souls to climb up on ahuge platform and onto his back for a thrilling ridehigh up in the air. Next to the elephant were theever-popular pony rides, where children led theirparents amid choruses of “oh, pleeeeese!”

As for the pig, it was a cute little pink pig, aboutthe size of a really, really huge house cat. Duringmost of the festival, it waited in a small pen and bur-rowed into a pile of hay, waiting to find out whichlucky teacher would win the honor, at the end of theevening, of kissing the pig. Seriously.

Next to the little piglet’s pen was a tray full ofpiggy banks, each labeled with a different teacher’sname. Throughout the festival evening, the children“voted” for the teacher they wanted to see kiss thepig, by dropping coins into the appropriate piggybank. At the end of the evening, the teacher withthe most money in his or her piggy bank would bedeclared the winner.

The train ride was another popular attractionthat had children lining up to take a ride around theschoolyard and even into a wooded area at the back.There were cakewalks with lots of cakes for the win-ners, and lots of games such as the basketball tossand the fishing game and knocking over soda bottleswith a baseball.

The smell of grilled hamburgers and hot dogswas everywhere for hungry festival-goers, but thelongest line by far was for the funnel cakes. AmyKendrick, June Lucas and school principal BethMoore stayed busy frying funnel cake after funnelcake and powdering each one with fine white sugar,while Moore recounted the story of the Vietnamesepotbellied pig that was the longtime official pet forPinetta Elementary School many years ago, living ina pen at the back of the playground.

At the end of an exciting evening was the mo-ment everyone had been waiting for: the piggybanks were collected, the money counted, and thewinning teacher announced – June Lucas.

Smiling, Lucas stepped forward and climbed upon a picnic table and kissed the little pig right on thesnout, not once but twice, amid cheers and applause.

Meanwhile, the sunny late afternoon was nowthe dark of early nightfall, and the nip in the airfrom earlier in the afternoon was now a definitechill — perfect fall festival weather. There was stilla glowing dark red band along the western horizonas the parents and children slowly began driftingaway from the festival grounds, with their balloonsand colorful hats and other prizes. No one seemed inmuch of a hurry to leave, especially some of thechildren. They had been having too much fun.

Besides, the tiger was still waiting. Just onemore round of bouncing. Oh, pleeeeese!
