FRUITFUL IDEAS

get fruit juice nutrition. As an added bonus, like original Juicy Juice products, it’s an excellent source of vitamin C and can be a part of a healthy, balanced diet for kids who can now drink up to 30 percent more juice and still remain within the USDA guidelines.

(NAPSI)—Sweet news for many parents is that you can reduce the amount of sugar in your youngster’s diet—and still get some affection from your happy kids.

• You can use fruit juice as a substitute for pancake syrup. Just add a little bit of molasses, to taste, and some cornstarch and simmer the mixture until it reaches the thickness you like.

Helping Kids Enjoy More Flavor, Less Sugar

Here are hints on how: • Substitute applesauce or pureed prunes for half the sugar in recipes, which can cut sugar content in half. • Use spices and herbs such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger to enhance the flavor of foods naturally instead of adding sugar. • Instead of chips, candy or pastry, offer crackers, a piece of fruit or vegetables such as carrots or a glass of fruit juice. Offer fruit juice instead of sugary drinks. The USDA says most kids should have fruit every day, and while the majority of fruit servings

should come from whole fruit, 100 percent juice is a healthy option when consumed as part of a balanced diet. If 100 percent fruit juice isn’t your choice, you can dilute it to reduce the sugar (lots of parents do these days). If dilution compromises the juice flavor that appeals to kids, try a noadded-sugar juice beverage like Juicy Juice Fruitifuls, an all-natural juice beverage that has 35 percent less sugar than regular juice, provides a full serving of fruit and tastes great. You can decrease the amount of sugar your kids consume, provide refreshment and still make sure they

• If you serve canned fruit, make sure it’s packed in water or juice, not syrup. • Read labels and compare products. The nutritional label lists the ingredients in a product in order. The higher up an ingredient is on the list, the more there is of it in the food. • Make your own salad dressing with fruit juice, balsamic vinegar, honey and mustard.

Foreigners Gobbling Up American Homes Nonnatives take 8.9% of home real estate sales The Canadians are coming ... for our real estate. A weakened dollar coupled with a buyer's market is prompting foreigners to snatch up expensive homes here in the US. Of the $928 billion spent on US real estate in the year ending in March, $82.5 billion came from foreigners. Our neighbors to the north accounted for the most, with 24% of all foreign home sales, followed by the Chinese at 11%, reports Forbes. And while Russians might get the most media attention for the millions they drop on swanky apartments, buyers hail from all corners of the globe, including Argentina, South Korea, Armenia, Peru, Brazil, and Malaysia. High-end real estate agents say many of their clients are looking to snatch up low-priced (relatively speaking) property that will serve as vacation homes. European buyers are looking to safeguard their assets during the continent's shaky economic period, while Venezuelans want to protect their money from the political turmoil in their home country. East Coast properties seem to be popular among Latin American buyers, while Asian buyers prefer homes on the West Coast. Around half of all foreign home sales happen in just five states: Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, and New York.

State of Alabama Public Health, Alabama Department of ADPH cautions the public to protect themselves from mosquito-borne illnesses The Alabama Department of Public Health reports that four cases of West Nile virus (WNV) have been reported in the state this summer. Approximately 1 in 5 people who are infected with WNV will develop symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea or rash. Less than 1 percent will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues). When a person is infected, early recognition and prompt supportive treatment for these illnesses can substantially lower the risk of developing severe disease. About 10 percent of people who develop neurologic infection due to WNV will die. People over 50 years of age and those with certain medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease and organ transplants, are at greater risk for serious illness. Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), WNV and other mosquito-borne viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes after they feed on birds. The same mosquitoes can then infect mammals, particularly humans and horses. Humans and horses can sometimes become seriously ill from the infection. Vaccination exists and is effective for horses, but there is no commercially available vaccine for humans. In 2012, there have been 4 cases of EEE in horses located in Dallas County. Epidemiologists point out that EEE can be more dangerous to people and other mammals than other mosquito-borne viruses, but that the same mosquito prevention measures reduce exposures to any of these diseases. Other arthropod-borne viruses, St. Louis Encephalitis Virus and La Crosse Encephalitis Virus, have been detected periodically but not commonly within various areas of the state for several years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the best way to prevent the most common mosquito-borne diseases such as WNV and EEE is to avoid mosquito bites by following these recommendations: Use insect repellents when going outdoors. Wear long sleeves and pants during dawn and dusk. Install or repair screens on windows and doors. Use air conditioning, if available. Empty standing water from items outside homes, such as flowerpots, buckets and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pools. No medications are available to treat or vaccines available to prevent WNV infection. People with milder illnesses typically recover on their own, although symptoms may last for several weeks. In more severe cases, patients often need to be hospitalized to receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication and nursing care. Anyone who has symptoms that cause concern should contact a health care provider. Repellents are an important tool to assist people in protecting themselves from mosquito-borne diseases. CDC recommends the use of repellents containing active ingredients which have been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use as repellents applied to skin and clothing. Products containing these active ingredients typically provide reasonably long-lasting protection. These include the following: DEET Picaridin Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus or PMD, the synthesized version of oil of lemon eucalyptus IR3535 Insect repellents must state any age restrictions. According to the label, oil of lemon eucalyptus products should not be used on children under 3 years of age. Parents should choose the type and concentration of repellent to be used by taking into account the amount of time a child will be outdoors, exposure to mosquitoes, and the risk of mosquito-transmitted disease in the area. People should consult their health care provider for advice about using repellent products on children. Sentinel chickens are used to monitor the presence of mosquito-borne disease in an area. Five sentinel chickens in Baldwin County and 3 sentinel chickens in Mobile County have tested positive for WNV this summer. "With many people enjoying outdoor activities, it is important that residents take every effort to reduce their exposure to mosquitoes," Dr. Dee W. Jones, State Public Health Veterinarian, advises. "Keep your mosquito repellent with you at all times when you are working or participating in recreational activities outdoors." Mosquitoes that can spread these viruses to humans are commonly found in urban and suburban communities as well as rural, freshwater swamp areas. They will breed readily in storm sewers, ditches, waste lagoons and artificial containers around houses. The Health Department will continue to notify local officials of test results and recommend methods of prevention. More information is available at adph.org/epi/.

Mom For President! By Laura on Life Someone once said that it would be a great day when education had all the funding it needed and the Air Force had to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber. The safety and security of our country is incredibly important, but taking the education of our nation to a higher level would perhaps produce soldiers and pilots that could win a war without that extra bomber. Ideally, both education and our military should have the lion’s share of our tax dollars. Instead, nearly half of our tax dollars go to propping up individuals and families who are not able to support themselves. Perhaps if all Americans had a better education, we would be in a better position to vie for jobs that would support ourselves or have the tools to create our own businesses.

on, and buy clothes for all of them… except the dog. Even taking into account the inflation since then, that was an amazing feat. My mother did that. For many years. She was a model of self-sufficiency and self-discipline at that time in our lives. I honestly don’t know how she did it. Mom grew her own vegetables rather than importing them from other countries… er, farmers. She cut every unnecessary expense like designer sneakers and “bridges to nowhere.” She never used credit, because if she couldn’t pay for it today, she knew she couldn’t pay for it tomorrow. (Do you know that the US has steadily carried more debt every year of its existence except for 1834-1836, when Andrew Jackson was president? We had zero debt then.) Mom put what little money she had where it would do the most good: Raising her country… er, family… into healthy, intelligent, self-supporting Americans.

Simple economics shows, of course, that presently, there is a lack of jobs at which people could work. Again if more of our tax dollars were used for education, there would surely be more jobs for teachers and anyone skilled in any industry that produces educational material: textbooks, software, school supplies, desks, whiteboards and the construction of new classrooms and schools. The more jobs that open up, the less money would be needed to prop up those without an adequate means of support.

Much of the waste in this country can be attributed to the “pork” that goes into every bill that is finally passed. Many Senators won’t vote for a bill unless he or she gets some pet project paid for on the same bill. The writer of the bill will make that deal with the devil because he or she knows that the bill will not pass without those votes. That’s called pork… and blackmail. It should be illegal.

Now, I am not a mathematician or a politician. I don’t even watch the news very often. But just a quick tally of the number of people in the nation multiplied by the amount of tax dollars I pay, is enough to convince me that there is a severe money leak somewhere in the government coffers.

Can you imagine if my mother was given that $30 from my father with the understanding that she would buy a pork roast for his mistress first? I can assure you that didn’t happen. Not in my family and not in any other family. Otherwise the men wouldn’t have lived long enough to reproduce. The money was for food, clothing and braces only – no pork. She made sure of it.

If the powers that be really want to find the money for something as important as education or security, they must simply put a woman who has lived through the 50’s and 60’s in charge of the budget. She was raised by survivors of the Great Depression. Typically, her husband would give her a stipend of $30 each week that was supposed to feed 4 children, put braces on their teeth, feed a dog her husband insisted

Now that I think of it – Move over Obama and Romney… Mom for President! Laura Snyder is a nationally syndicated columnist, author & speaker. You can reach Laura at lsnyder@lauraonlife.com Or visit her website www.lauraonlife.com for more info.

Weekly Fishing Report 08/09/2012 Thursday, 09 August 2012 MEXICO BEACH/PORT ST. JOE Trout fishing has slowed significantly in St. Joe Bay, due to heavy rains. Nevertheless, early mornings continue to be productive using any variety of top water lures. Live shrimps or LYs (Alewives) are the best second option and will work well in the later morning hours. Reports suggest that fishing midday and afternoons is poor. The upshot is that soft plastic jigs and small swim baits are taking nice flounder throughout the bay this week. Anglers are reporting good trout fishing along the "Miles" that is the waters between the main land and St Vincent Island. Work the oyster bars with soft plastics like Berkley gulp and or DOA' shrimp imitations. This area has also produced several oversized redfish this week. The surf fishing is poor this week with mounds and mounds of Sargasso weed cluttering the beaches and break line. However, if you must then try fishing on the outgoing tide using synthetic baits like "Fish bites" on a two-drop rig. Deep water is where you will find the Grouper fishing activity is this week. Reports put successful anglers in 100 to 200 feet of water. Top producing baits are live pinfish, hard tails, and grunts. King Mackerel activity is good almost anywhere but trollers should be prepared to remove a lot of weeds from their duster rigs. Live or flat lining over reefs and structure may be your best bet. PANAMA CITY OFFSHORE AND INSHORE If you could manage to avoid the thunderstorms the King mackerel, Bonita and Chicken dolphin were everywhere. Seas were pretty calm except around the thunderstorms which allowed for a few trips out where the big ones are supposed to be. The storms kind of stirred up the grass lines and the blue water was a little hard to locate so you had to work for it.

Some Wahoo, Bull dolphin and Big Kings were found but it was not “easy pickins”. Big Amberjack were found on the wrecks you would expect to find them on. Some were so big they could not be turned around, you would get them up once and when they saw the boat they turned and ran back into the wreck and broke off. If you plan to target these guys you better have the right size rig to do battle with or you will only end up with the back ache and nothing to show for it. There were plenty of Gag and Red grouper brought in, live bait was a little hard to come by so be sure to bring along some frozen so you have something to fish with because you may not be able to fill the live well so easy. Surf fishing improved this past week and the sea weed let up some. Some big Tarpon are being spotted and a few were hooked and put on a brief but awesome show before spitting the hook. Spanish mackerel, Ladyfish, and Bluefish were the most common catches but a few Redfish were caught on surf rigs with dead shrimp. ST. ANDREWS BAY SYSTEM The neap tides we had last week did slow down the bite in the bay but the storms have cooled the water temps down considerably. Speckled trout were moving back into the back waters that were too hot for them last week. They are feeding on the rain minnows that are schooled up but so are the Bluefish and Spanish mackerel. Bird activity will help you find the minnows and then a small spoon or Rain minnow imitation like the Mirro lure 19MR or Yo zuri crystal minnow should get you bit. You could throw a cast net on the minnows, but you will probably be picking a thousand gilled minnows from your net. Sheepshead are working the waters around docks and bridge pilings, live shrimp is just about the best bait for them but clams, small crabs and oysters work well too. You are likely to find Red or Black drum, Flounder and Mangrove snapper in these same places and with these same baits. I don’t know what kind

of slam that would be, but I would take it! PANAMA CITY BEACH PIERS This week saw the fishing at the piers continuing to improve. Those chasing King mackerel are having luck early in the morning and late in the evening fishing live and dead cigar minnows. There were some incidental hook-ups of tarpon this week by those fishing the same methods. Spanish were turned on by the bubble and straw rigs with the orange neon this week. The people fishing with cut bait on the bottom caught quite a few over sized redfish and there are still a large number of remora still hanging out at the pier. Night fishing has been getting better and better with a large number of small sharks being caught on 20lb spinning combos and those chasing the bigger sharks have been using kayaks to paddle out full sized Bonita rigged on 1/16" steel leaders with 14/0 shark hooks. Temperature is great and the fish are biting, makes for a great night spent on the pier. DESTIN Kings and amberjack are the catch of the day for sure!! Trolling for Kings from just offshore all the way out to the edge on natural bottom and wrecks is very good. Other near shore trolling species include bonito, Chicken dolphin, Black fin tuna and a few sailfish. Amberjack are on the ledges and most large offshore metal wrecks such as tugboats and barges. Also in the same areas you will find Red and Gag grouper, Vermillion snapper and a few scamp.

Surf fishermen are still catching ladyfish, whiting, bluefish, redfish, and the occasional pompano. The redfish and pompano are falling for live or frozen shrimp, with the afternoon bite being the most productive. Ladyfish and blue fish continue to entertain when the redfish and pompano bite has slowed, so don’t forget to take a couple of silver spoons or pompano jigs with you when you head out.

Offshore trolling is producing plenty of Wahoo near the edge and out towards the Ozark. The water seems to be nicer to the south and southeast and that is where you will find nice numbers of White Marlin and some Bull Dolphin. On the pier a few Tarpon daily, an occasional King and plenty of Ladyfish, hardtails and some blues. On the jetties mostly Redfish, ladyfish, hardtails and some larger Jack Cravelle are being caught most days. NAVARRE The tides this coming week are looking great for inshore fishermen. The weather on the other hand is more of the same so don’t let your guard down and end up getting caught in any of the pop up storms that we will have to deal with this week.

With high tides early in the morning and an outgoing tide all day this is e s p e c i a l l y productive for inshore anglers targeting trout, redfish, and flounder in East Bay and the Blackwater areas. Live shrimp under a popping cork or for that matter soft plastics such as a DOA shrimp should produce nicely with all the muddy water we have right now because of the rain. Bull reds are definitely in the Destin and Pensacola passes, and with the tide outgoing all weekend right now is the time to target them. Live croakers, pin fish, and menhaden fished on the bottom is a deadly presentation. Although working a white or chartreuse bucktail will produce as well. Tip them with a 4 inch Trigger X shrimp or paddle tail to enhance your presentation. Another great presentation is trolling for them with MANN’s Stretch 25’s or Yo Zuri deep diving plugs. Still getting plenty of reports of slot reds in the sound being caught around the deeper docks on live shrimp pitched near pilings. Only had a couple of flounder reports and all have them being caught on bull and tiger minnows fished in and around bridge pylons as well as the deeper docks in the sound.

Offshore fishing anglers are still experiencing a pretty good Wahoo bite right now along the edge. The same area is also producing Mahi and Blackfin tuna. Amberjack opening up on the first has many area anglers experiencing sore arms and backs. Live hardtails and butterfly jigs are both producing good numbers with the biggest fish consistently coming on live baits. King mackerel are showing up a little better this week with the greatest numbers being caught just outside area passes and around near shore wrecks supporting plenty of bait fish. Slow trolling cigar minnows by themselves or with a duster continues to be the most productive presentations. The grouper bite is still going strong with good numbers being caught on large live baits fished right on the bottom of both near shore and off shore reefs in 60 to 180 foot depths. Trigger fish are also available in state waters as well as vermilion snappers and red porgies. So take the time to stop on your way back in from federal waters.

Until next week tight lines! PLEASE VIST OUR ALL NEW

All individuals arrested are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law Google to Shed 4K Motorola Workers That's 20% of Motorola Mobility workforce; third of offices closing After acquiring Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion this year, Google is slicing off a fifth of its workforce, laying off 4,000 workers, the company has confirmed. Two-thirds of the 4,000 cuts will occur outside the US; Google is also shutting down up to a third of the firm's offices worldwide, CNET reports. The company is hoping for "a return to profitability," according to an SEC filing. Motorola "will be providing generous severance packages, as well as outplacement services to help people find new jobs," Google says. Severance charges could run up to $275 million. The New York Times, which first reported the news, offers a peek into the firm's future strategy. Motorola's research and development will be concentrated in Chicago, Sunnyvale, Calif., and Beijing, as its presence in Asia and India shrinks. Meanwhile, it will drop its cheaper phones, concentrate on fewer devices, and look to introduce wowfactor features, like days-long batteries and the ability to ID people in a room based on their voice.

DOG DAYS NOW GONE The old Farmers Almanac first wrote about Dog Days, those hot, miserable summer days. Dog Days started on July 3rd and ended on August 11th and as far as I am concerned good riddance. Dog Days began being recognized in Egypt, where civilization began some 50,000 years ago, when the star Sirius began rising at sunrise. The Nile River would flood so the star Sirius, the Dog Star, became the watchdog for the Egyptions and the flooding. Dog Days derived it's name from the Dog Star, Sirius.

Now folks, Dog Days gives us flies, House and Horse flies, Barn flies, Stable flies and any other fly that exists. The never ending rain of Dog Days causes a zillion mosquitos to hatch and everyone of those mosquitos are in my yard except when I open the door and then 1/2 of the worlds population of mosquitos scoot inside to enjoy the air conditioning and to lunch and munch on me and, of course, the unbearable heat. Notice that the last couple of days have been cooler? I'm writing this article on the 12th, immediately after Dog Days have ended. I suppose the Dog Days got ahead of itself by a day or two. I'm certainly not complaining. I prefer the cooler weather. The rain will start subsiding soon also. I will venture a guess that the Florida Aquifer has been filled or is running over. I also believe, we here in Northwest Florida, are the only people to have Dog Days. Droughts are in the West and Mid-West. I really feel sorrow for those folks and their livestock and wish we could share some Dog Days with them, especially the MOSQUITOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet Paul Ryan Wires flesh out VP candidate's personal, professional bio Get ready for a stream of stories about Paul Davis Ryan, 42-year-old Republican congressman from Wisconsin who hopes to be vice president: Family man: He and wife Janna have three kids, Charles, Samuel, and Elizabeth. He's a native of Janesville, Wisconsin. Father: He died of a heart attack when Ryan was 16. (Ryan found his body.) With the Social Security survivor benefits, Ryan put himself through Ohio's Miami University, where he got a bachelor's in economics and political science, according to the Huffington Post. Congress: He was first elected at age 28 as a Jack Kemp disciple and quickly earned a reputation as a "fresh-faced budget hawk," says the Washington Post. As such, he's not a big fan of the Bush years. He cemented his reputation in 2010 with his "Roadmap for America's Future," which endeared him to conservatives. He serves as the House Budget Committee chairman. The Obama-Biden campaign already has sent out an email declaring that Ryan "would end Medicare as we know it and slash the investments we need to keep our economy growingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all while cutting taxes for those at the very top." He's a regular at the gym, reports Politico, and he likes Beethooven, Rage Against the Machine, and Led Zeppelin. Flyfishing, too. Read a profile in this week's New Yorker by Ryan Lizza.

SCHOOL NEWS & NOTES Emmy-Nominated Actress Wants To Make Math And Science Count (NAPSI)—A strong mat h a nd sc ience education is critical for K−12 students if they are to one day qualify for a job in one of the rapidly growing STEM fields: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

AMERICA’S HEROES Maker of Brawny® Towels Launches Partnership to Support Our Nation’s Heroes

That’s the word from a woman who has had success as both an Emmy -nominated actress and as a scientist. She has now taken it as her personal mission to inspire students to take an interest in math and science.

(NAPSI)—For injured service members, overcoming the physical and emotional challenges of adjusting to life post-war is a test of strength that must be faced every day.

Mayim Bialik not only plays a neurobiologist on TV’s No. 1 comedy, “The Big Bang Theory,” she is also a neuroscientist and part-time teacher. Bialik, who earned a Ph.D in neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), credits a tutor with helping her discover her passion for science. A mother of two, she now wants to inspire kids at a young age to find their own path in math and science. “As a child, I didn’t think about a future career in science until my tutor opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. I want my own kids—and all students—to know early on that with a strong math and science education, they can literally change the world,” said Bialik. In addition to encouraging students to explore science and math, Bialik believes that integrating technology in a way that is fun and interactive can help parents and teachers capture the attention of today’s tech-savvy students. In her role as spokeswoman for the TI-Nspire CX math and science learning technology, she has interacted with math and science teachers across the nation who have seen their students become more engaged and improve achievement by using technology in and out of the classroom. “Technology makes learning more exciting, and it helps students visualize concepts and make deeper connections between math and science,” said Bialik. In what can be described as a move with a lot of “class,” Bialik is teaming up with TI for a back-to-school contest. Students, parents and teachers around the nation can enter to win the chance to have Bialik as a guest teacher for a math and science class—and TI-Nspire technology for the entire school.

Georgia-Pacific, the maker of Brawny® paper towels, recognizes this struggle and has partnered with Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP) to help support and raise awareness of the needs of injured service members and their families across the nation. As part of the campaign, the company will make a direct donation of $250,000 to WWP and donate $1—up to an additional $250,000—for every individual who: shares a “thank you” note on the Brawny Towels Facebook page; “likes” Brawny Towels on Facebook; or texts THANKS to 272969. Standard text rates may apply. The Brawny “Support Our Heroes” campaign will continue through December 31, 2012. Donations raised from the campaign will benefit a variety of programs and services WWP offers to meet the needs of injured service members and their families.

Attempt to steal beer upgrades to a robbery when a physical struggle ensued with clerk, Call CRIMESTOPPERS 7937000 by Dothan Police Department on Monday, August 6, 2012 On August 5, 2012 the Dothan Police Department responded to an attempted Robbery at Shell Food Mart, 1101 Ross Clark Circle. According to the clerk, he observed two black males enter the store at 2:20 a.m. and approach the beer section. The clerk saw each suspect grab two 18 packs of Bud Light beer cans. The clerk told the men that it was past the time for beer sales however the suspects refused to put the beer back. The clerk then approached the suspects and told them to place the beer back in the cooler. The shorter suspect placed the beer back into the cooler however the taller suspect did not listen to the clerk so he took the beer from the suspect and began to place it back into the cooler. While the clerk was restocking the beer, the taller suspect grabbed a 12 pack of Bud Light cans from a display area nearby the cooler and proceeded to exit the store. The clerk stated that he followed the suspects out of the store and that the taller suspect stumbled over the “Wet Floor” sign.

SCHOOL NEWS & NOTES Schools Are Using Synthetic Turf To Add Value To Sports Facilities (NAPSI)—There can be real benefits to using artificial turf on athletic fields. That’s the word from schools that report they’re trading in their grass fields in favor of longer-lasting, durable synthetic playing surfaces, the same kind of fields used for collegiate, professional and even Olympic competitions.

Increased Facility Use While some may consider investing in athletic facilities a luxury, proponents of artificial turf cite far-reaching dividends that go beyond Friday night football games. Most school administrators consider increased facility use as one of their top reasons for switching to artificial turf. Unlike natural grass fields that are highly guarded to ensure they are in good condition for games, artificial turf can withstand 3,000 hours of playing time per year without a “rest” period, according to the Synthetic Turf Council. That’s more than three times that of natural grass.

Meeting Multiple Demands As a result, natural fields that were previously used for only one or two sports can meet the intense demands of multiple sports when replaced with a synthetic surface. With football, soccer, lacrosse, rugby and even physical education classes able to use the same field, a significant number of students benefit from these top-

notch facilities.

Quality Counts

In addition, youth athletics and community events can also take advantage of the enhanced spaces. All of these functions lower the cost per use, and in some cases, create an additional revenue stream for districts.

The key to realizing these benefits is to ensure artificial turf systems are made with the highest-quality materials. Turf produced using DOWLEX™ Polyethylene (PE) Resins from The Dow Chemical Company, for example, is designed to provide the right combination of softness and resilience to create quality athletic fields for all levels of competitive play.

Environmental Benefits Artificial turf fields are designed to be more resilient to Mother Nature than their natural counterparts. Since irrigation and drainage systems store rainwater beneath the surface, rainouts and poor field conditions are rarely an issue with artificial turf, even in the wettest cities. On the flipside, schools in areas that experience extreme drought—like much of the southern U.S.—are not left with dry, brittle fields if they switch to artificial turf. Schools in dry climates also eliminate exorbitant costs and excessive water usage involved with natural grass maintenance. In 2010, the water conserved from every synthetic turf field in the U.S. equaled between $6 million and $12 million in savings. The Synthetic Turf Council says one full-size synthetic turf field saves an average of 500,000 to 1 million gallons of water each year, depending on the region. The El Paso Independent School District in Texas expects even bigger savings, though. It estimates a savings of 8 million gallons of water per year on each of the 10 synthetic turf fields recently installed, saving the district 80 million gallons of water a year in total.

A Worthwhile Investment “Considering all the benefits offered in terms of expanded use, reduced maintenance and positive environmental impact, we believe school districts that invest in artificial turf will be well served over the life of the investment,” said Carlos Ruiz, a turf specialist from Dow’s Performance Plastics Division. Switching to artificial turf is a big decision, but many agree it is well worth it. Athletic directors, coaches and students will undoubtedly enjoy practicing and competing on high-quality synthetic surfaces that replicate the look and feel of natural grass. School districts will appreciate the return on investment. And communities will take pride in having top-notch facilities available to showcase the talents of local youths.

Airmen Missing from Vietnam War Identified The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of two servicemen, missing in action from the Vietnam War, have been identified and are being returned to their families for burial with full military honors. Air Force Lt. Col. Charles M. Walling of Phoenix, Ariz., and Maj. Aado Kommendant of Lakewood, N.J., will be buried as a group at Arlington National Cemetery on Aug. 8 -- the 46th anniversary of the crash that took their lives. Walling was individually buried on June 15, at Arlington National Cemetery. On Aug. 8, 1966, Walling and Kommendant were the crew of an F4C aircraft that crashed while on a close air support mission over Song Be Province, Vietnam. Other Americans in the area reported seeing the aircraft crash and no parachutes being deployed. Search and rescue efforts were not successful in the days following the crash. In 1992, a joint U.S.-Socialist Republic of Vietnam (S.R.V.) team investigated the crash site and interviewed a local Vietnamese citizen who had recovered aircraft pieces from the site. In 1994, a joint U.S.S.R.V. team excavated the site and recovered a metal identification tag bearing Wallingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, and other military equipment. In 2010, the site was excavated again, and additional evidence was recovered, including human remains. Scientists from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory used circumstantial and material evidence, along with forensic identification tools including mitochondrial DNA in the identification of the remains. For additional information on the Defense Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO website at http:// www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call 703-699-1169.

Man allegedly steals pie, fried chicken A Florida man was arrested after a struggle with police for allegedly stealing a pie and fried chicken from a grocery store, police said. Patrick McCall, 44, was arrested in Fort Pierce Aug. 4 on three misdemeanor charges following the alleged theft at a Winn-Dixie grocery store, TCPalm.com reported Friday. A Winn-Dixie store manager told police he suspected McCall stole food from the deli area of the store, but said when he asked the alleged thief to show him what he was carrying in a couple of five gallon buckets, McCall refused. McCall left the store and was stopped by police officers as he exited the parking lot. An officer noted McCall was eating a "fruit filled pie," and carrying two of five gallon buckets. Police found two pieces of fried chicken wrapped in a Winn-Dixie bag in one of the buckets. The suspect told police he brought the pie and chicken from home, but officers found a discarded $1.69 pie box nearby.

Citizen journalism is a relatively new movement in journalism that corresponds with the age of communication and technology that inhabits people’s worlds today. Citizen journalism is a type of journalism practiced by everyday people. Citizens, some without proper journalism training, are using this modern technology to publish their journalistic work. Many newspapers used correspondents in traditional media. According to the We Media report written by Chris Willis and Shayne Bowman, participatory journalism is defined as “the act of a citizen, or group of citizens, playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information.

If interested please contact: Joey Virga at 850-814-6999

The affected bottles include: • 1800® Tequila Silver 1.75 Liter • 1800® Tequila Coconut 1.75 Liter • 1800® Tequila Reposado 1.75 Liter “Our goal is to consistently deliver high-quality tequila in perfect packaging to our consumers. Their health and safety is our first priority,” said a company spokesperson, Angel Abarrategui Diez. “We are doing everything possible to resolve this issue quickly.” Consumers who have affected product should not consume it nor should they allow others to consume it. Anyone who has consumed tequila from an affected bottle and becomes ill or shows signs of complications should see a physician immediately. Consumers with affected product can obtain a refund and more information by calling 866-795-8805 or emailing info@1800tequila.com. Refunds for affected bottles will be offered to consumers 21 years of age or older. In order to receive a refund, consumers will be asked to provide their date of birth, name, address, phone number and email as well as the Lot Code which is printed on the bottle. In addition, consumers will be asked where and when they purchased the product as well as how much they purchased it for. Refunds will be issued in approximately two to four weeks.

Extra highway patrols, checkpoints set for

Labor Day holiday MONTGOMERY— Gov. Robert Bentley has awarded nine grants, totaling $250,000, to help law enforcement officers make Alabama roadways safer before and during the Labor Day holiday. The funds will cover overtime pay for police officers and sheriff’s deputies Aug. 17 – Sept. 3 for the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign. Officers will emphasize enforcement of DUI laws by conducting safety checkpoints and increasing the number of patrols on Alabama roads. “Drivers should never consume alcohol and then get behind the wheel of a vehicle,” Bentley said. “Through this safety campaign, our law enforcement officers will work hard to prevent injuries and fatalities by getting drunken drivers off the road.” Bentley urged motorists to obey traffic safety laws throughout the year, not just during special enforcement campaigns. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is administering the grants from the State Traffic Safety Trust Fund, an account that receives fines paid by individuals found guilty of driving without a license or with a suspended or revoked license. ADECA administers a wide range of programs that support law enforcement, economic development, infrastructure upgrades, recreation, energy conservation, water resources, job training and career development. Bentley awarded the following “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” grants to the state’s nine regional highway safety offices: • $38,725 to the city of Montgomery for the Central Alabama Highway Safety Office which serves Autauga, Bullock, Elmore, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery and Russell counties. • $29,875 to the Etowah County Commission for the Northeast Alabama Traffic Safety Office which serves Cherokee, DeKalb, Etowah, Jackson, Madison and Marshall counties. • $45,350 to Jefferson State Community College for the Birmingham Regional Highway Safety Office which serves Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair and Walker counties. • $26,550 to Enterprise State Community College for the Southeast Alabama Traffic Safety Office which serves Barbour, Butler, Coffee, Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, Geneva, Henry, Houston and Pike counties. • $32,075 to the Mobile County Commission for the South Regional Highway Safety Office which serves Baldwin, Escambia and Mobile counties. • $25,450 to Northwest Shoals Community College for the North Alabama Highway Safety Office which serves Colbert, Cullman, Franklin, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Marion, Morgan and Winston counties. • $17,700 to the Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission for the Highway Traffic Safety Division which serves Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Dallas, Marengo, Monroe, Washington and Wilcox counties. • $18,800 to Shelton State Community College for the West Alabama Community Traffic Safety Office which serves Fayette, Greene, Hale, Lamar, Perry, Pickens, Sumter and Tuscaloosa counties. • $15,475 to Gadsden State Community College for the East Alabama Highway Safety Office which serves Calhoun, Chambers, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Randolph, Talladega and Tallapoosa counties.
