Early voting in Florida

The primary election here in Florida is on Tuesday, August 24th -- but every day is Election Day because early voting starts today.

You will be able to vote early until Saturday, August 21st or Sunday, August 22nd, depending on your county. For information on
where and when to vote in your area, please download it here.
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/pdf/Early_Voting_Sites_Primary_2010.pdf

After early vote ends, you can go to your regular polling place from 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, August 24th.

Floridians will cast their votes for candidates who will represent them in state and local government and in the halls of
Congress -- so it's crucial that as many voters as possible make their voices heard.

Early voting is available to all voters, so be sure that you make it out to the polls.

Thanks,
Ashley

Protect Habit for the Less than 100 Florida Panthers Left

 

Hi Green, There are less than a 100 Florida panthers left, making it one of America's most endangered species. Save the Florida panther. » Although the Florida panther was originally declared an endangered species by the federal government in 1967, the amendment to the Endangered Species Act which required each species so listed to also have "designated critical habitat" did not go into effect until 1978. As a result, no critical habitat exists for America's only big cat east of the Mississippi. The Interior Department has the ability under the Endangered Species Act to protect the remaining habitat now. Urge Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to designate critical habitat for the Florida panther today. » Thanks for taking action!

August Mosquito Alert Gainesville from Alachua County Health Department

August 4, 2010 2:10 p.m.
This release sent at the request of the Alachua County Health Department.

ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - The Alachua County Health Department (ACHD) has detected mosquito borne diseases in the County. "Our sentinel
surveillance system indicates that disease transmission is occurring," stated Anthony Dennis, Environmental Health Director at the
ACHD. "Taking a few simple steps can drastically reduce the chances of contracting
a mosquito-borne illness."

Symptoms of West Nile virus (WNV) infection and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) may include headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness,
weakness, and confusion. Physicians should contact ACHD if they suspect an individual may have a mosquito-
borne illness.

Florida Department of Health (FDOH) laboratories provide testing services for physicians treating patients with clinical signs of
mosquito-borne diseases.

The ACHD continues to advise citizens to remain diligent in protecting themselves from mosquito bites by following the "5 D's,"
which include:

* Drainage - Check aroundyour home to rid the area of standing water, which is where mosquitoes can lay their eggs.

* DEET - When the potential exists for exposure to mosquitoes, repellents containing DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, or
N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide)are recommended. Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus are other repellent options.

* Dress - Wear clothing that coversmost ofyour skin.

* Dusk and Dawn - Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active.

For more information on mosquito borne illnesses, visit the ACHD website at www.AlachuaCountyHealth.org

Quotes:

(Quick note: while we dance for fun, Jewish culture and the Torah are intimately woven into Israeli dancing. So occassionally I like to share some with you. Last week's parsha (Torah portion) was loaded and included these verses.)

- Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart and be no more stiffnecked. ~ Deuteronomy 10:16

- Behold, unto the Lord your God belongs the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that therein is. ~ Dueteronomy 10:14

- And now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, to keep for your good the commandments of the Lord. ~ Deuteronomy 10:12-13
