Meet Cary Rada

Business to Business Expo Works!

Business to Business Expo put on by the Lady Lake Chamber of Commerce was a great success. Some 49 vendors set up. The event was sponsored by Insight. Pictured are vendors setting up and meeting their next door neighbors (vendors). The way it worked is there were four rows of venders . Two of the rows of venders rotate around the other two rows of venders. You give a short presentation of what you do for a set time then you move to the next vender until you have seen each vendor at your table. Then everyone goes back

to their table and the others two rows of venders rotate around the second set of venders until everyone has seen those venders. There were plenty of door prizes and it was a real successful event.

Food venders were Eaton’s Beach, Chicken Salad Chick, and Sam’s Club. We met a lot of businesses we had not seen before so based on that I would say it was great for us to get in front of new businesses.

Cary RadaCandidate - Lake County Judge, Group 2

Cary Rada is very familiar with the court system in Florida. As an attorney for 22 years, he is an experienced trial and appel-late attorney. A graduate of Stetson Univer-sity College of Law, he has been practicing law in Lake County since 1995. Cary be-came a Board Certified Criminal Trial Law-yer in 2003. This is a significant achieve-ment for any attorney as less than 1 percent of all lawyers in Florida are Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyers.

Cary served in Lake County as Assistant State Attorney from 1995-2003, and for the first three years, he was one of the first pros-ecutors assigned to Judge Donna Miller’s courtroom, who is retiring at the end of this year. Judge Miller inspired Cary to run for office, and after acquiring 22 years of Court-room experience, he is humbled to have the opportunity to run for the seat that Judge Miller is vacating.

Cary acquired a strong work ethic while spending many weekends and summer breaks working in the construction industry with his father. After many years, he gained

, Lady Lake Magazine/Village Spectator – July, 2016

The media seems to think that ‘The Don-ald’ and ‘Hilary’ are the worst two Ameri-cans who ever tried to get elected. But, who knew that an American is leading the ‘Brexit’ Movement in England?

Apparently, just over half of the British people voted for ‘freedom’ from domination by the faceless and unelected ‘Eurocrats’ in Europe. The turmoil is a direct result of the George Bush’s selling out to a so-called “New World Order”.

Even Democrat John Kerry said, “This little thing called the internet is making it hard to govern.”

By ‘Govern’, of course he means control. Contrary to the propaganda from our me-

dia, including Public Radio and Television, the number one concern of the British voters is their Free National Health Service. Other major concerns are the economy, taxation and education. Less than 20% say that im-migrants are an important topic.

The leader of the ‘BREXIT’ movement is named Alexander Boris de Pfeffel John-son, who was born in Manhattan, New York City. His family tree includes a Circassian-Turk, an illegitimate daughter of Prince Paul of Württemberg and a distant cousin, King George II of Great Britain. In fact, Johnson is distantly related to most of the royal fami-lies of Europe, as well as being an eighth cousin of a British Prime Minister.

His mother was the granddaughter of Americans Elias Avery Lowe of Russian Jewish descent But he describes himself as a combination of Muslim, Jew, and Chris-tian.

As ‘Alex’ Johnson, he went to Eton Col-lege, the elite boarding school in England, and promptly began calling himself ‘Boris’. Later, he wrote a newspaper column using words like “piccaninnies”, and “watermelon smiles” when referring to Africans, He has also praised the European colonialism in Africa

As if that’s not enough, he referred to gay men as “tank-topped bumboys”, saying “We don’t want our children being taught some rubbish about homosexual marriage being the same as normal marriage”.

He describes same-sex marriage as “a lu-dicrous parody of the real thing”. Boris also said “If gay marriage was OK ... then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men; or indeed three men and a dog”.

As a politician it didn’t take long for scandal to erupt when the public learned of a telephone conversation between Johnson and a businessman friend who wanted to have an investigative journalist beaten up.

In the conversation, Johnson agreed to help as long as his name would be kept out

of it. Then a British tabloid claimed that Johnson had an affair with a co-worker which resulted in two abortions. It wasn’t long before Boris was having another affair with another journalist.

Controversy was also generated when

Johnson admitted that while a student he had used drugs including cocaine.

Trump may be a buffoon, and Clinton may a liar, but, so far neither of them are in the same sewer as Boris.

I’m sure the temp Sheriff Gain-ey is well qualified, here is what he said: I am “disappointed, discouraged and quite frankly, a bit angry” after read-

ing the report, which said Blair set a tone for the agency in which excessive force was inevitable. The other time I got a twinge was when he said “MY

MEN” for some reason I had a problem with that term ,My Men, when he had just dis-mantled half the department and at least nine or ten heads rolled.

During his Press Conference there was never a mention until the end of the meet-ing when I asked. In our country you are in-nocent until proven guilty. When the Sheriff and his top supervisors are found innocent how in the world could you fix this??? The answer was lame, something like that is for the States Attorney’s Office to take care of.

Take note the timing of this indictment, during the last election the local States At-

Our political system is full of people who think they know what is best for us and no matter what we say they will make the de-cisions. I can only hope that we will come out of this with a strong Sheriff with strong leadership skills because trouble is coming and we had better be ready.

The rabbit would jump straight up in the air and strike out with her front feet, then the crow would jump up kind of backwards but then go back and try to peck the rabbit. This went on for about five minutes, then a second crow started moving in from behind the rabbit. I opened the front door and broke it up. Two on one is not fair.

A couple of days later a peacock that used to visit came across the pasture where we have a young painted colt. The peacock tried to go around the colt and the colt would not let the peacock come in the yard to get a handful of corn we normally feed it. The

How do we know we can trust Dennis Baxley? He’s proven it. Baxley’s been on the front lines of every major policy battle. He’s fought to cut spending and balance the budget, he’s opposed sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants, and for his efforts on defending our Second Amendment rights, he was awarded the NRA’s prestigious national Defender of Freedom Award.

P r e s i d e n t Coolidge once said the chief business of the American people is business. The U.S. govern-ment’s role in busi-ness is as old as the country itself; regulation, taxa-tion, consumer pro-

tection. Yet, despite the fact that the private sector continues to be this country’s chief economic force, our government has begun to work against its small businesses.

Since the beginning of time, it’s been entrepreneurs that drive the creation of in-

novation. True breakthroughs have been the result of an individual or small team who had an idea and the determination to see it through to fruition. In many cases, ignoring advice and the lack of what many would call standard market research/validation. While we enjoy the fruits of the rapid pace of inno-vations, it is the entrepreneur, slaving away alone or within a small firm, who is invent-ing the future. It’s these entrepreneurs and their dreams that create economic opportu-nity for cities, regions and countries.

I’ve been a small businessman my whole life, but the closest I ever came to closing my doors was because of the federal govern-ment. This is an all too common situation in this country, and it’s got to stop. We need

to work to cut taxes and red tape, overhaul the IRS, and keep the federal government off our back. Our small businesses are job

champions. Standing up for them will keep America strong.

peacock finally had to fly up in the tree where he stayed until it was safe for him to go home. He never made it to the yard. A guard colt not in my yard you won’t.

Last day of the month two male Red Birds tangled in mid area and fell to the ground. I

jumped up to see what happened and there they were still on their sides tangling with each other fighting. After a minute they had both enough.

Minutes ago I saw two Deer in the drive-way, I am so lucky to be able to see all these animals interacting.

After getting off work one night a wom-an, waiting for the bus, got spooked. She reached in her purse and gripped her gun. A man came out of the shadows and grabbed her purse. When he ran she found the gun still in her hand while her purse was gone. She fired six times and the man fell. Law enforcement took her before the judge and the judge asked “why did you shoot this guy six times?” “Because,” she began, “when I pulled the trigger the seventh time it just clicked.” The judge slammed the gavel and said “case dismissed.”

THE LADY LAKE POLICE D E PA RT M E N T IS READY FOR H U R R I C A N E SEASON. ARE YOU?

“Those who have not learned from history are doomed to repeat

it.” That is especially true with hurricanes. Even though forecasting methods and tools are improving year after year, people are still at great risk if they are not prepared.

Experience has taught us that the best thing to do before a hurricane is prepare,

so you can be confident during a storm that you’ve done everything you can to keep your family safe. As your Chief of Police, I want you to know that during a hurricane, you can depend on the resilience and re-sourcefulness of the men and women of the Lady Lake Police Department.

As a local law enforcement agency, we work year-round with our local, county, state and federal partners to improve our response, cooperation and communication during hurricanes. Just as we at the police department plan for unexpected weather emergencies, there is plenty you can do to make yourselves, your families and your homes ready for hurricane season. Don’t wait for a storm to threaten.

First, create a disaster supply kit that will last your family three to seven days. Ask yourself what you would need if you couldn’t get to a grocery store, pharmacy, bank or gas station for several days. Your kit should include a gallon per person per day of water, non-perishable food, a can opener, blankets and pillows, rain gear and sturdy shoes, first aid items, prescription drugs, toi-letries, a flashlight and batteries, a battery-operated radio, a fully-charged cell phone as well as a non-cordless phone. Pack any spe-cial food, medicines or supplies you might need for an infant, an elderly person or a pet. Make sure you have credit cards and cash on hand and gas in your vehicle. Put all of your important documents such as insurance and medical records, bank account numbers and your social security card in a waterproof container or waterproof plastic bag.

Talk to your family about which place in your home would be the safest during a storm and at what point you would move to a shelter. Plan what to do with your pets if you have to evacuate and designate an out-of-state relative or friend to be a point of contact for each family member after a storm. Make sure children know when and how to call 911. But always remember that if a storm gets severe enough there may be limited or no emergency responders to assist until after the storm passes.

The Lady Lake Police Department is prepared to help you and your family in any emergency, but I encourage you to create a disaster supply kit and talk to your family about an emergency plan. On behalf of the men and women at the Lady Lake Police Department, I wish you and your family the safest possible hurricane season.

Letters to the edItor

Dear Mr. Loury,The Flip Side of the StorySnail Drivers.If you are not capable of driving the

speed limit for one reason or another, that is your problem, and your responsibility to deal with it.

Making it our problem by snailing along on the road does not sit well with competent drivers. Why should your problem be our burden?

I have alternate plans on hold when it happens to me. Does not seem to be any time soon.

During 69 years of driving I have never had an accident or a ticket, while driving a 300 horsepower car approximately 20 times

around the circumference of the earth.There is a different perception in driv-

ing different types of cars. Had a small size loaner, once, and it was a shock driving that car. The feeling of speed is different. Fifty in the large car feels like snailing. Fifty in the small car feels like Daytona.

My bucket list has one item: Sprinting off against Mario Andretti .

Not everyone ages at the same rate. Genes are genes are genes.

Some are turtles, and some are hares. Turtles are as big a problem as hares.

Ladies and gentlemen: Start your en-gines!!!! Try to be mannerly on the road. Best we can do.

D.I. L.

**********Dear Mr LouryThis past week I spent some time at

Walt’s Brakes and More, one of your adver-tisers and a most reliable one at that.

I was able to read your May and June of the “Ocala DownTown” and realized how “deprived” I am not seeing it on a regular basis. I don’t see it on the few times I’m in Town or just not at the places I frequent. Therefore I am enclosing a small check hop-ing you can mail me a copy each month.

There is more common sense informa-tion and personal agreement in ti in quite a contrast with the Ocala Star Banner to which I no longer subscribe, (I do how ever buy the Sunday issue). Reading it every day would be detrimental to my health! Blood Pressure that is!

I am praying daily for Sheriff Blair who is getting such bad press from all sides and I am wondering just who or how many are be-hind it. Having lived in Marion County for forty years I am aware of much of the poli-tics in many areas of our Governing Depart-ments. Men like Rep. Dennis Baxley are far and few between. Sheriff Blair was a God sin after his previous :leaders” If Mr Dean should it would be a sad state of affairs.

Thank you for yours views on the subject and continued gratitude and prayers for your decision to publish not edit!

Sincerely JV.PS I have called and written to many in

D.C. concerning the “Waste Report” items you noted and others. It’s never too late to try to make change for the better!

PUBLISHERS NOTE Read us online Ocaladowntown.com

To JV Thanks for the letter and your views. We

appreciate all of our readers even if they don’t agree sometimes. It is refreshing to see people involved with the issues and govern-ing heads. I think we are in agreement about Blair. I have talked to many people and it seems the opinion is that the States Attor-ney has been trying to make this happen for years, first in the Primary election 3 ½ years ago and again now. Looking at the whole picture one bad guy took down five deputies and four administrators. The bad guy did not do this alone!

Of course I agree that Dennis Baxley is a pillar of this community and the commu-nities around us. Every time I look around there he is putting forth his effort to help the communities he is involved in. He is a dedi-cated person.

Finally, I can’t receive money for the paper. It would put me into a different cat-egory. I will void this check and mail your papers. If you wish to help, do it for our wounded service men and women. Thanks for being a reader. Keep sending your views.

TomL **********To the editorWe live in a Bizarro World where facts

have no meaning and liberal hype is accept-ed as truth!

The NRA is all about gun safety and *proper* use of guns. It’s against the law to shoot people at random. NRA members de-spise that type of gun use, as do all normal people.

Ron**********NO PORK?????There was an article in the local paper

last week that I was reading, about these wonderful people who send packages to our troops in Afghanistan and you can do-nate things our Soldiers need or lack over there. Like toiletries, snacks etc., then it says No Pork items Please. I wondered about this, after all many snack items con-tain pork. We asked around and found that word came from above and I know it wasn’t from the Lord that we didn’t want to offend the country where OUR SOLDIERS ARE FIGHTING to help make that place safe .

Let me tell you how my Tom‘s Picks is growing and what I am doing to develop it.

Tom’s Picks is helping about 100 rea-ders every 90 days. It astounds me that we are getting calls at this rate. I will refer you to my customers first. Then I look for ser-

vices under well known Business Clubs and Chambers of Commerce to try to get you the Best of the Best. Part of the weeding process is they must be highly visible in the com-munity, like active in the Chamber, or other large groups that screen their members.

Chamber Breakfast

The chamber breakfast was sponsored by Project Legacy, a group of churches, civic organi-zations and businesses that raise money for children’s issues. Please find above photo from the chamber breakfast with, on Left, Sidney Brock, Heritage Community Church (a member of Project Legacy), Dr. Susan Moxley, Superintendent of Lake County Schools center, and Karen Mercer of Brown & Brown Insurance, right. Dr. Susan Moxley spoke to the attending crowd on “The State of our Local Education System in Lake County as it Relates to the Northern Lake County Area”. Dr. Moxley also highlighted the importance of partnerships among local businesses, civic groups, churches and individu-als to help address the needs of children within their community while leveraging resources to help meet those needs.

Lady Lake Chamber Expo

Letter from TNIn my opinion this bill that passed is ille-

gally. They have beat up, threatened, bribed everyone they think they can get away with to reach a vote to win Obamacare. Marco Rubio, a Florida candidate is starting a peti-tion to recall, throw out or what ever it is called when something illegal is put back right. Some 38 states are postering for a bat-tle over the healthcare bill, they will never quit, I continue to voice your and my opin-ion and vote accordingly in the next election

and every election in the future.I was sitting in my living room listening

to this great orator and the people who are surrounding him. The people who are not around him are the people that are going to pay the bill. If you listen to you can only think that he really believes he is right. Economist all over the world say his is wrong. Some of the top 5 employers say there will be thou-sands of their employees out of work. Cat-apillar says it will cost them

The attendance was good. A slow moving crowd flowed through the expo, never end-ing but then about closing time it stopped.

The vendors did well and no complaints from the visitors.

Budget deficitMany Democrats talk about Obama in-

heriting a huge deficit from Bush, so let take a short history lesson.

Budgets come from Congress not the White House. The Democratic party has controlled Congress since January 2007. They controlled the budget process for 2008 and 2009, as well as 2010. In that first year, the Dems had to contend with Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush belatedly got tough on spend-ing increases. For 2009, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep gov-ernment running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a mas-sive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

Where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let‘s look at what the deficits was during that period.

The Democrats did not inherited any def-icit, the 2007 deficit, the last of the Repub-lican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

What Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January

School Board Turmoilby Tom LouryAnother flare-up in the school board

chambers. You’ve got to give Jackie Porter credit for being gutsy. A lone vote not to approve $500,000 for new roofs for three buildings at Dunnellon High school. This writer lived in Dunnellon and heard teach-ers and people around town talking about how fast the construction was going bad in-cluding talk about the roof leaking. I believe there was talk about the roof leaking before it was eight years old. Back then there was a decision to look into it. Matter of fact I think Bobby James was the principal back then and he is now part of the School Board, why don’t they ask him? The roof was prob-ably patched. Who was the contractor? What was the warranty? The current School Board is not responsible for what happened that many years ago but I think it is their respon-

sibility to make things right especially when they are spending the tax payers’ money.

What can they do? Talk to their attorneys and ask what legally can be done and come out with a statement. The statute of limita-tions probably ran out.

Jackie Porter is asking these questions wanting answers and she is being ridiculed for it. Yes the if the roof is leaking it needs

Progress Energy Speaker A New Philly Is Born

A philly born this morning on the Loury Ranch. Pictured is Lindsay Sykes holding her philly just hours old. To be fair the light spots on the new philly is the sun coming through the trees, but she is colorful and already likes people. The coldest or near coldest day of the year, 20 degrees at daylight she was found prancing in the pasture next to her mother.

“The Party of No”On November 18, 2009, Senate Major-

ity Leader Harry Reid unveiled the Senate’s health care reform legislation. Unlike the health care bill passed in the House of Rep-resentatives, Senator Reid’s proposal would allow the

Secretary of Health and Human Servic-

es to include coverage of elective abortion services in the government-run health care reform.

I am the Party of No. No to being forced to pay for someone’s abortion. No to gov-ernment-run health care insurance. No to Democrats’ closed door pork barreling

Jerry pointed out many thing that the business people did not, but the thing that impressed me most was the jobs the building of the new Nuc plants would bring to an area. The new Crystal River Plant would bring upwards to 8,000 for approximately 8 years. You can just imagine what 20 Nuc plants would bring to the US economy.

16th Annual Fishing Derby Tempers Flare with School Board MeetingMarion County School BoardBy Tom LouryI recently read an article that was in the

Ocala Star Banner, Thursday April 15, 2010 front page about Jackie Porter and the School Superintendent Yancey. If you look at the ar-ticle it is reported with Jackie Porter’s alle-ged file and the story is presented like a fe-deral court case. The interesting fact is there were no quotes from Jackie Porter and no remarks from her defending herself. It’s not because she refused to remark but in fact, she was never asked or interviewed for this story. That bothers me more than any of the following comments. I believe that everyone should have the right to defend themselves in print.

I feel somewhat responsible for some of the friction between the School Board and Jackie Porter. With the School Board, as elected officials, you would not have ex-pected a reaction like this. Elected officials give up their privacy and are fair game for any questions that comes your way. Jackie Porter said she sent Mr. Yancey a personal email asking about a sensitive question. Was it his son-in-law that was promoted to an ad-ministrative job? If the question had been anawered it would have stopped right the-re. Somehow it was brought into the school board meeting and tempers flared. I say Ja-ckie Porter was elected to watch out for our tax dollar as well as is the rest of the School Board.

We all have a personal stake in this, OUR

To the editorAfter reading the article in the Orlando

Sentinel, March 10, entitled “Your Law-makers Aren’t Tightening Their Belts” I saw red. Could the members of Congress, and I mean both the Democrats and Republicans, be more out of touch with their constituents and the hardships they are facing? When federal lawmakers vote themselves a 5 per-cent increase while families are enduring job losses, home foreclosures, 2.56 million Flo-ridians on food stamps, the U.S. banks have had their sharpest decline in lending since 1942 and the worst economy that America has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s you know for sure that Congress is totally out to lunch. Foreclosures are up 6% over last year and the average unemploy-ment rate in Florida at 12.2 percent is worse than the national average at 9.7 percent. Osceola and Lake County have the highest

unemployment rates at 13.5 percent among Central Florida counties. Flagler County at 17.1 percent has the states highest unem-ployment rate. What jobs has the stimulus package that was passed last year created? As I see it, the only thing it has created is more and more government and increased our debt. In addition, we now have this huge health care bill that even those who voted for it don‘t know whats in it that everyone will have to pay for. Its time the members of Congress were in touch with their constitu-ents and the hardships they are facing, were made accountable for their actions or voted out of office.

ONE PERSON’S OPINION

Letters to the edItor

If I had the money I would send a herd of Swine over there before you could bat an eye.

Wake up America Please!Pmum**********Dear Editor:What’s the matter with the American

people and “we” women in particular? Are we so anxious to have a woman president that we are willing to vote for someone who is a liar and totally corrupt. Someone who has received millions of dollars from foreign

countries and Wall Street for herself and the Clinton Foundation while she was not only Secretary of State but also once she left. Foreign countries and huge corporations don’t give millions of dollars and not expect something in return. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see a woman president. The right woman and Hillary is definitely not that woman. I always tell my girls that you can accomplish anything if you are honest, have integrity, work hard and have strong work ethics. How can I expect them to look up to a woman, who could possibly be presi-dent, who got where she is by deceit, cor-

ruption and lying? Who not only plays the woman card whenever she can but also pan-ders to certain groups of people. Of all the issues in this election the two that concern me the most are jobs and security. When my children graduate from school, I would like for them to be able to get jobs. How many businesses has Hillary run and how many jobs has she created? None zip zero. What about security for my family and commu-nity? Hillary couldn’t protect Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans in Beng-hazi, while she was Secretary of State, how in the world is she going to protect over 300 million people in the United States? There have already been terrorist attacks in the United States. Look at what happened in Orlando, San Bernardino, the Boston Mara-thon, etc. and yet the borders are wide open and she is an open border advocate. Do we

even know who is coming in or how to vet them? It’s time we put America first.

LN**********Dear Editor:Big headlines in the Wall Street Journal,

“Democrats Stage Sit-In Over Gun Bills.” What in the world are we dealing with here a college campus, a kindergarten class or spoiled brats who have the mentality of if you don’t do it my way, “I’m taking my ball and going home.” Legitimate gun owners have rights too. We elected these people to Congress and they stage sit-ins. Come on. If they can’t act like the adults we elected to Congress by working together, they should all be fired. I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of this do nothing Con-gress.

Impacts of Zika

(NAPS)—According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than 350,000 home fires occur each year—but you can help your family stay safe.

Fire Safety SuggestionsKeep your family safe by:1. Having at least one fire alarm on

each floor of the house and in each bedroom.2. Checking the batteries monthly

and replacing them at least once a year, more often if necessary.

3. Helping kids identify what items are safe to play with in the house. “Many children who play with fire do so out of cu-riosity or a desire to emulate their parents,” explains Dr. Robert Cole, President of Fire-proof Children and spokesperson for BIC’s play safe! be safe! fire safety education

program. “Eliminate temptation by keeping lighters and matches out of sight and reach and by supervising playtime.”

4. Helping your youngsters under-stand fire safety. Children learn best when they feel comfortable. The play safe! be safe! program (www.playsafebesafe.com) provides teachers, parents and those who care for young children with the tools they need to teach kids about fire safety and prevention by sharing basic facts, playing games and visual storytelling.

Consider this: Parents know that birthday candles, when left unattended, can quickly start a roaring fire. Young children, howev-er, cannot understand what could happen if they play with an unattended candle.

The first step to keep families safe is

Four Tips For ProtectingYour Family From Fire

teaching children how to react to a fire emergency. Adds Dr. Cole, “Many young children are scared of strangers and loud noises. When a siren goes off and unfa-miliar firemen in ‘scary’ masks enter their house to rescue those inside, a child’s first instinct will be to hide. Parents should teach their children what to do if they hear the fire alarm or see a firefighter coming to help.”

Parents and children can learn fire safety from an entertaining, educational website: www.playsafebesafe.com.

Parents can most effectively help their children overcome fear through positive messaging and reinforcement. Interactive games, such as the ones featured on the www.playsafebesafe.com site, let children learn in a safe, fun and rewarding way. Pic-ture books, both fictional and nonfictional, can also be great learning tools. When chil-dren are able to see images of firefighters

and their “scary-looking” gear in a safe and calm setting, they are less likely to panic in times of danger.

Since the program’s inception in 1994, BIC Corporation has distributed more than 114,000 fire safety education kits and more than 184 workshops with community lead-ers. Each play safe! be safe! kit includes a 20-minute multilingual video (in English, French Canadian and Spanish), colorful sto-ry cards, activity boards, a card game and a comprehensive teacher’s manual.

to bring it to your community or to play the interactive games with your kids, go to www.playsafebesafe.com.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Governor Rick Scott announced that the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC) will host a call with Florida medical profession-als, including OBGYNs and physicians spe-cializing in family medicine, to discuss the neurological impacts of Zika and what pre-cautions new and expecting mothers should take. This is in response to Governor Scott’s request for the CDC to host a call following the announcement of the first confirmed case of microcephaly in an infant born in Florida whose mother had a travel-related case of Zika. The CDC call will take place tomor-row afternoon and the Florida Department of Health will be sharing information with medical professionals on how to participate.

Governor Rick Scott said, “With more than 220 travel-related cases of Zika, and now Florida’s first confirmed case of a baby born with Zika-related microcephaly, it is critically important that Florida’s medical professionals remain educated and receive the latest information on the neurological impacts of this virus. Last week, I used my emergency executive authority to allocate $26.2 million in state funds for Zika pre-paredness, prevention and response in Flor-ida and we will continue to do all we can to ensure our state stays ahead of the possible spread of the Zika virus.”

Ocala DownTown / Seniors Voice of OcalaVillage Spectator / Lady Lake Magazine

(NAPS)—Aspirin is a familiar over-the-counter m e d i c i n e that reduces pain. Taking a low-dose or “baby” aspi-

rin every day has long been recommended to people who have had a heart attack or stroke, so they can prevent another one. Evi-dence now shows that for people aged 50 to 69 at increased risk of cardiovascular dis-ease, aspirin can help prevent a heart attack or stroke from happening in the first place and, if taken for five to 10 years, can also help prevent colorectal cancer.

This is great news because cardiovascu-lar disease and cancer are major causes of death in the United States. Heart attacks and strokes are responsible for 30 percent of all deaths, and colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer—causing 8.3 percent of all cancer deaths.

But just because aspirin is available over the counter doesn’t mean it is safe for ev-eryone to take on a daily basis. Aspirin can cause serious side effects, such as bleeding in the stomach and intestines, and strokes

caused by bleeding in the brain. So daily as-pirin is only recommended for people who are at increased risk of cardiovascular dis-ease and who are not at increased risk for bleeding. You should not begin to take as-pirin daily without speaking with your pri-mary care clinician first.

Who Should Take Aspirin for Primary Prevention? The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

(Task Force) found that how much a person can benefit from taking aspirin depends on his or her age and risk of cardiovascular disease. Daily use of low-dose aspirin is the most beneficial for people 50 to 59 years old who have at least a 10 percent chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years. The Task Force recommends that people in this group start taking aspirin after talking with their primary care clinician.

People 60 to 69 years old with increased cardiovascular disease risk can also benefit from taking aspirin, but because the risk of bleeding goes up with age, the overall bene-fit is smaller. Therefore, people in this group should make a decision with their primary care clinician about whether or not to take aspirin.

It is not clear whether taking aspirin is beneficial for people with increased risk

Can An Aspirin A DayKeep The Doctor Away?

of cardiovascular disease who are younger than 50 or older than 69. More research in this area is needed.

A number of factors go into determining a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease, in-cluding age, sex, race, blood pressure level, total cholesterol level, and high-density li-poprotein (HDL) cholesterol level—also known as “good cholesterol.” Whether a person has diabetes, smokes, or takes blood pressure medication can also affect his or her risk of cardiovascular disease. Talk to your primary care clinician if you are between 50 and 69 years old to determine your risk for cardiovascular disease and for bleeding, and to determine if taking a daily aspirin is right for you.

Other Ways to Reduce Your RiskEveryone can reduce his or her risk of

cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer by quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet and being physically active. Keeping blood pressure and cholesterol under control can also help prevent cardiovascular disease. Regular screening remains an important part of preventing colorectal cancer. The Task Force currently recommends colorectal can-cer screening for people 50 to 75 years old, and for some individuals between 76 and 85 years old.

Does Aspirin Prevent Other Cancers, Too?

There is growing evidence that aspi-rin may also help to prevent cancers other than colorectal cancer, such as cancers of the esophagus and stomach. However, the evidence on aspirin to prevent these cancers is still new and not yet strong enough to be part of a recommendation.

No group currently recommends that people take aspirin for the prevention of cancer only, even for people who are at in-creased risk of cancer. In order for the po-tential benefits of taking aspirin to outweigh the potential risks, a person must have in-creased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Recommendations to Protect Your HealthThe U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

is an independent group of national experts in primary care, prevention, and evidence-based medicine. The aim of the Task Force’s work is to evaluate and identify critical pre-ventive health services that a primary care clinician can perform.

For more information on the Task Force and to read the full report “Aspirin Use for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Colorectal Cancer” and the rec-ommendation about screening for colorectal cancer, visit www.uspreventiveservicestask-force.org.

Daily aspirin can help some people pre-vent cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer.

(NAPS)—Since it’s hard to enjoy the outdoors if you can’t start your car, boat, motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle (ATV), choosing the right kind of battery designed for your vehicle make, model and usage habits is very important.

These tips can help. Automotive batteriesIt’s important to understand the tests

used to measure battery performance. The two most common are cold cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacity (RC).

CCA measures the number of amps a bat-tery can deliver for 30 seconds at 0° F. This is a useful comparison-shopping tool be-cause it’s performed the same way by every manufacturer.

RC measures the number of minutes a battery can withstand a continuous draw of 25 amps. Today’s vehicles have more on-board and consumer-installed electronics than ever before, and many systems require constant power even when the engine isn’t running.

Frequent, short trips also increase the need for additional reserve capacity because the battery may not have enough time to re-charge between stops and starts.

Results of both tests can be found on the battery or online. Check your owner’s man-ual to find the right specifications for your vehicle.

Motorcycle and ATV batteriesThe most common powersport batter-

Don’t Let The Wrong BatteryStall Your Outdoor Enjoyment ies are conventional lead-acid batteries and

absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, also called maintenance-free batteries.

While conventional lead-acid batteries are typically less expensive, they require more routine maintenance. Users must visu-ally check the electrolyte level through the opaque white case of the battery. If the level is low, it must be refilled with distilled water to keep up performance and avoid an explo-sion.

AGM batteries are more expensive but need less maintenance and perform well in extreme climates.

Conventional and AGM powersport batteries come with acid bottles for filling the batteries. A motorcycle battery charger should be used to activate these batteries once filled.

Marine batteriesMarine batteries are different from car

batteries. A marine battery needs to crank over an engine and supply the energy need-ed for continued accessory use.

For that, marine starting batteries—also known as cranking batteries—are a good fit.

If you need to power many electronic de-vices, such as trolling motors, GPS or fish finders, a deep cycle battery can be better.

To help, ACDelco offers a full line of au-tomotive, marine and powersport batteries for most makes and models. To learn more and find the right battery to power your out-door fun, visit www.acdelco.com.

To get your motor running, whether in a car, boat, ATV or motorcycle, you need a properly charged battery.

(NAPS)—If you’re like most Ameri-cans, you may have made a dirty mistake: An online survey conducted by Harris Poll, on behalf of Briggs & Stratton in October of 2015 among 3,027 U.S. adults aged 18+, discovered that 70 percent of consumers have spilled gasoline on their hands, clothes, car or outdoor power equipment when try-ing to fill up their outdoor power equipment or vehicle.

The ProblemThe study also revealed:• Men aged 55–64 have the highest pro-

pensity for spilling gas• 48 percent of Americans said they have

spilled gas on their vehicle• 40 percent of Americans have spilled

gas on their hands while pumping gas into their vehicle

• 21 percent of Americans have spilled gas on their clothes while pumping gas into their vehicle.

A SolutionFortunately, there is an easy way to re-

move gasoline and diesel odor and residue.Called Gas Off, it’s packaged in conve-

nient single-use foil packs, an eight-ounce spray bottle, a 15-wipe flat pack handy for glove compartments, and a 36-wipe canister good for a garage or workshop.

It doesn’t mask the smell like other sprays, cleaners and home remedies; it eliminates it. The special nontoxic formula removes the gasoline and diesel odor and residue from fuel spills and grime from pumps, leaving your hands clean and odor-free. The plant-based solution from Briggs & Stratton Corporation, the world’s largest producer of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment, is safe for use on fabrics, chrome, plastic and paint surfaces as well as skin. Plus, it won’t dry out hands as alcohol-based cleaners can. Briggs & Stratton also recommends not overfilling your gas tank, as gas is highly flammable.

stratton.com.You can protect your property from the

odor, damage and other problems of acci-dentally spilled gasoline.
