BOOK REVIEW“From the Mixed-Up Files ofMrs. Basil E. Frankweiler”

By e.l. konigsburg, Teen & Juvenile FictionWritten in the form of a letter from Mrs.

Basil E. Frankweiler to her lawyer.

Twelve-year-old Claudia decides to run away from home because she feels unappreciated. She enlists the help of her younger brother. But, she doesn’t just run away FROM home, she decides to run TO the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. “It is an adventure, a mystery, a celebration of art and beauty, and most of all, a journey of self-discovery.”

Oh, the weather outside is frightful. No, wait, that’s not right. The thunder and lightning earlier Friday morning did not dampen the awesome events that evening. We had perfect weather for karaoke, and so much more fun. The weather seems to always play a huge part in how well the festivities is attended, of course, but know that everyone tried their best to bring all the fun possible.

The “ugly” apparel contest was won by: 1St Place: Greg Tafel, 2nd Place: Eric O’Keefe, 3rd Place: Maria O’Keefe, and 4th Place: Emma Freeman.

The house lighting contest winners were: Best Overall: Kaley and Ronnie Dittrich; Best Theme: Bill and Barb Ford; Best Animated: Cynthia and Karen Landress; and Most Original: Sue Garner.

The car show winners were: Best Motorcycle: Steve Pender, 2018 Indian Chieftain; Best Car: Donald Pearson, 1946 Chevy; Kids Choice for Best Car: Tom & Cheryl Favoroso, 1970 440 6pk Plymouth Baracuda.

The 5K race winners were: Females: Karah White, age 15, time:21.42; Ryleigh Sperry, age 15, time: 24.43; Jasmyne Colman, age 14, time: 28.09. Males: Marc Gutierrez, 21, time: 18.57; Aidan Burke, 16, time: 21.15; Jordan Henigsmith, 15, time: 21.33.

The winners of the Howey Police Department Coloring Contest were: Emma Fox age 13, Thomas O’Keefe age 11 and Hannah Van Wagner age 8.

Winners of the Pet Contest were: 1st Place: Uno – American Bulldog owned by William and Kelly Grant, 2nd Place Dino – Boston Terrier owned by Teresa and Brad Waddle, and 3rd Place: Sassy – Llama owned by Mary Poillon.

Thank You to all who participated in those events.On Saturday, the sun peaked through in the morning and

became brighter as the day wore on. With mild temps, quite a few attendees showed up. The THS band is always one of my favorites. And, of course the horses and Llamas are wonderful to see. All of it was spectacular for a small town in central Florida. We hope to see YOU there next year. If you would like to get in on the fun of planning this event for 2020, please contact town hall.

And a very special thanks to Miles Wagler for doing the art work for the House Lighting winner signs, Car Show signs and the original art work for the Police Department Coloring Contest pages.

December 31, 2019Volume 1, Issue 10The Howey Tribune

William J. Howey’s Chronicle to the World

The holidays are a time of giving, a time of showing your love and remembering the sacrifices made by those who love us. Many people connect to their churches, focus on spirituality and the things that enrich our lives and the lives of those around us. But, for some, remembering doesn’t necessarily bring them joy. Consider those who have had difficult childhoods or have experienced loss over the holidays. For them, the holiday season can be a depressing time and a reminder of the isolation they feel from everyone who is celebrating. The realization is you never get over a traumatic event but rather learn to live with it and develop coping skills that allow you to enjoy the holidays, instead of just “getting through them.”

Talking to a counselor and getting valuable tips will help you. You might ask, “Who can afford counseling over the holidays when money is tight already.” My answer is, “it might be free for you!” If you’re still working, or if you still have a plan through your last employer, you may have access to FREE counseling. You could have up to six sessions totally free. Most companies, small and large alike, offer corporate counseling programs, known as Employee Assistance Programs (“EAPs”). EAPs experience high utilization during the holiday season. These programs help keep employees healthy and productive and are pre-paid by your employer, or your insurance plan. Look closely at your insurance card, you will find an “800” number for Behavioral Health. That’s your EAP! Call and check out your specific coverage.

EAPs provide short term solution-

focused counseling, not psychotherapy. This brief counseling is directive, goal driven and offers suggestions and referrals out, to return employees to well-being and health, in the shortest amount of time possible.

In 26 years of being an EAP and counseling people through all kinds of holidays, I realize the importance of early identification. Without it, people can lapse into episodes of high anxiety and depression, even suicide. Suicide ideation’s increase over the holidays, particularly for those feeling isolated. Isolation is exacerbated during this time of year because the expectation is to be joyful!

Your EAP can make wellness recommendations, too. They are trained to be generalists and cover a myriad of issues, both mental and physical. They are not physicians but most EAPs do have a background in physical wellbeing, as the body and mind are one. Your EAP is trained to identify physical problems that could be at the core of mental health issues and will refer you to the appropriate specialist, if needed.

Today, more than ever, it’s important to make mental health a priority. Corporations with EAPs recognize the need for early intervention and provide training for employees to help cope with holiday stress. Never ignore feelings of isolation. Researchers have told us for years that isolation can lead to all kinds of mental and physical illnesses. Enjoy the holidays and make your mental health a top priority.

Counselor’s Corner“Do you Suffer from the Holiday “Blues?”

By: Linda Fensler, MS, CEAPCharter Review Committee

Members NeededIt is time to review the Howey in the

Hills Town Charter and we need residents to join the committee. The charter review will require a commitment to weekly meetings for four to six months beginning in January 2020. You can download an Advisory Board Application at Howey.org under the Forms section Advisory Board Application or pick one up at Town Hall.

The charter outlines the organizational structure of the Town. It is a broad framework that functions as a social contract between citizens and the Town Council and staff. The world and our town have changed and the charter should be reviewed to ensure that it is a reflection of the population being served.

The following is a link to City Charter Review by Lynn Tipton, Director of the Florida League of Cities University for the Florida League of Cities. The article

gives an overview of the scope and goal of the charter review process. QC City Charter Review Article

New Lake County Fire TruckLake County Fire Rescue unveiled a

new truck Tuesday, December 10, 2019, at Station 76 in Yalaha. Squad 8 will replace an aging truck and will respond to fire and EMS calls in addition to special operations. In a tradition dating back to the days of horse drawn fire wagons that had to be detached from the horses, Lake County Commissioners pushed the truck back into the station during the “pushback” ceremony.

The Office of Fire Rescue responds to emergencies that threaten life and property daily. Fire Rescue operates 25 staffed Fire Stations strategically located throughout Lake County and serves both rural and urban areas. Advanced Life Support is currently provided at twenty (20) of these stations.

“Living in the Power of Now”Dr. Reneé D. Lannaman, Life Coach/Author

We are quickly approaching the close of not just another year but entering a new decade. Along with other preparations for the New Year, many begin to think about desired change(s) and work on a list of resolutions. Whether the change is losing weight, changing diet, exercise, better self-care, learning to control the words we speak, etc. The most important action that influence the changes we desire to see begins with practicing a conscious thought life on a daily basis. This is an important principle to live in the Power of NOW. Some of the world’s most influential thought leaders such as Eckhart Tolle has led multitudes to personal spiritual enlightenment that does not attach to religion. The intended purpose is to guide the Reader in day-to-day living and stresses the importance of living in the present moment and transcending thoughts of the past or future. This practice enables the ability to become part of a process and thus find a deeper personal meaning to a person’s life. New Year resolutions are usually broken within 90 days. But practiced affirmations are keys to reforming how we decide to interact on a daily basis. Consciously working on our self-care and best self is never a bad investment. Here are some thought provoking statements of truth that has proven to work well.

1) Everything does not require a response. 2) Avoid toxic people and situations, it is difficult to obtain positive results.

3) Just because You could, does not mean You should. Think about the action about to be taken or the words about to be spoken, this illustrates intellect and wisdom. For every action, there is an equal opposite reaction.4) Choose battles carefully. “Battles” requires energy and stamina that can be better used elsewhere. 5) Break the cycle of the disease to please...going along to get along many times does not portray our true thoughts. This is a common habit of even some of the most influential people. It is imperative to eradicate this disease, the ROI (return on investment) is minimal to none. 6) Spending at least 30 minutes per day sitting quiet without phones, social media, computers activity, etc. This reduces stress and preserves health mentally, physically, as well as emotionally.7) Journal your journey...reading it later will show your progress.

Although seven suggested affirmations are presented here, there are so many more to add. It is important to perform assessments of who and what we allow access into our life space. Have a joyous holiday season and prepare for an amazing new You in 2020!

``Random Thoughts``From Jim Steele’s book; “Sun and Shadow, a collection of Poetry”

Wake up grateful every day.For even a long life ends too soon.

The moment I stopped expecting more,I became grateful for everything.

You`re not all that matters.But, nothing matters more.

Great imaginations revel in solitude.They don`t even realize they`re alone.

Why do you stand before the mirror and insult yourself?

What you see-It`s nothing but gift wrap.The prize lies beneath.“Be the change that you want to see in the world”

Not only does laughter reduce stress, it lowers your blood pressure, gives you an excellent ab workout, and releases endorphins.

LIBRARY EDUCATIONAL CENTER UPDATEBy Tara Hall

We are still in the process of “value engineering” with those who placed bids. John Ernest and I will be meeting with

one of contractors who placed bid next Friday (12/27).

Triangle Elementary School’s fourth grade teacher Jacqueline Holmes works with students as they build towers for the school’s garden.

South Lake High School Construction Students Build

Beds for Children in Need

GROVELAND, FL – Friday December 6, 7:20 a.m. to 2:20 p.m., students at South Lake High school put their construction skills where their hearts are and built beds for children in need during the holiday season, in partnership with the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP). As stated on their website, SHP believes that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs. So South Lake High’s construction program is hosted a build day to build parts for 30 beds to donate to the organization to help carry out the SHP motto that “no child sleeps on the floor in our town.”

The mission for SHP to build and donate beds to children who need them is an ongoing commitment for the nonprofit. The idea for South Lake High to become involved came from Mr. Ron Milejczak who serves on the advisory board for South Lake High School’s construction program. His construction company,

Kalos Services is underwriting the project. Large strides have been made to the

South Lake Construction program this year due to renewed interest from the community. With the demand for skilled construction workers increasing, Jared Fullerton, a South Lake High graduate, returned to his alma mater and helped to revive the program to prepare students for a future in construction. The program teaches students construction skills and provides them with opportunities to receive certifications that will allow them to enter the construction workforce upon graduation. The students are constantly sharpening their skills by building things like picnic tables and equipment for the game corn hole, which they sell as school fundraisers. On Friday, students in the construction program, at all grade levels, spent their regular class time building the pieces for bunk beds that SHP will then assemble and donate to children in need. Through this project, students are joining a worthy cause and using their skills to invest in their community.

Triangle Elementary teacher awarded $2,500 grant for

School Garden

TAVARES -- Jacqueline Holmes, a fourth-grade teacher at Triangle Elementary School, has been awarded a $2,500 grant from the American Heart Association (AHA) Teaching Gardens Network grant program.

The program received applications from almost 500 schools nationwide. Triangle, through Holmes’ application, was one of 50 schools to receive the grant. The American Heart Association, in collaboration with Kelly Meyer, founder of OneSun; and Gail Becker, CEO of Caulipower, are providing the funds to boost garden-based learning to support healthy food access and innovation in nutrition education. “Less than 1% of children are eating ideal healthy diets and under 10% have reasonably healthy diets,” Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., MPH,

chief medical officer for Prevention and chief of the Center for Health Metrics and Evaluation for the American Heart Association, said in a news release sent by the association.

American Heart Association Teaching Gardens are real-life laboratories for students to learn what it means to be healthy and how fruits and vegetables contribute to a balanced diet. School gardens pair a hands-on experience with an interactive nutrition curriculum to help students understand the importance of healthy food choices. Through the Teaching Garden Network, schools have access to free garden resources and curriculum to help their gardens become Teaching Gardens®.

At Triangle Elementary, Holmes uses a school garden to teach her students science, reading, writing, math and engineering. She won the Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s (FAITC) Excellence in Teaching about Agriculture Award for 2018, and in 2016 her garden project was such a success that the district received a grant to start gardens at 30 other schools across the county.

Holmes’ students chart the growth of plants in their journals, calculate fertilizer amounts and evaporation rate, experiment with new seeds such as luffa, recycle cafeteria waste by using milk containers to start seeds, compost leftover fruits and vegetables, and much more.

“The Teaching Gardens® elevate the conversation of health to the community level and brings together the essential decision-makers who can successfully impact the learning opportunities about and accessibility to the nutritious foods kids need to be healthy,” Sanchez said.The Giving Tree

by Fran O’Keefe Wagler

After passing ornaments out at the November Town Council meeting, before we even had the Giving Tree up at the Library, Lake Hills School received a donation and a handful of citizens pledged to help outfit the Boy Scouts in full uniform. During the holiday season, many

neighbors did acts of kindness toward one another and for the benefit of the whole community. Treats were brought to the Library, the Post Office, Police, Town Hall and others were treated to lunch at the Howey Market. Dr. Clark’s Clinic now has some new stuffed animal friends available for young patients. Locals volunteered hours at the Library. Among others that benefited from the Giving Tree include the Garden & Civic Club and the Community Church. One ornament read, “Give a candy cane to everyone you meet”. So, a resident decided to come to the Christmas Festival to pass candy canes out and Santa even let him borrow his official dress uniform! If your Giving Tree ornament is still sitting on your desk, it’s never to late to bring a little happiness to someone else in beautiful Howey-in-the-Hills.

On December 7, 2019, someone hit one of our Sandhill Crains in front of our house on Revels Road. We heard the bird’s family crying so loud we knew there was a problem and when my daughter and I got down to

the end of our drive the bird’s family was pacing back and forth crying. We could tell the bird’s wing and leg were injured because it was having trouble trying to get up and it kept falling back down. I tried calling all of the Lake County bird rescues and none were answering even though it was during their normal working hours. Finally one in Osceola County answered and said they’d take the bird but they didn’t have anyone to pick the

bird up but Sea World would also take the bird and they are closer. So, my daughter Heather called Sea World who said they would take it, but also had no one to pick up the injured bird. Heather had been a vet tech, so she knew how to pick the bird up without injuring it further, so her Dad drove her and the bird to Sea World to drop it off. They thought the bird would be okay and they would have returned the bird to our neighborhood when healed but unfortunately it must have had internal injuries and died overnight.

I don’t know if everyone knows this but these birds mate for life so because of someone’s carelessness this bird’s mate will mourn the loss for the rest of its life. These birds are sometimes in the roadway but if you are not speeding or on your cell phone there should be no problem to avoid these birds. Please be careful in the future, next time it could be a person.
