Houston County schools
awarded 'What Parents Want'
PERRY - The Houston
County School System has
been selected as a recipient
of the “What Parents Want”
award for the 11th year in a
row.
This award, presented by
School Match of Columbus,
Ohio, ranks Houston
County schools in the top 14
percent in the nation.
School Match uses its data
base on 15,576 nationwide
school systems - with data
collected from more than
95,000 parents - to select
systems to be honored.
The criteria used for
award selection include a
close match to what parents
look for in a school system
and availability of programs
at the secondary level.
Surveys reveal that parents
most want these factors in a
school system: 1) competi
tive in academic test scores
and academically solid, but
not so demanding as to
intimidate children; 2)
accreditation; 3) recognized
for excellence by a national
foundation or the U.S.
Department of Education;
4) competitive teacher
salaries; 5) above average in
instructional expenditures
on a national basis; 6) above
average in expenditures for
media services on a national
basis; 7) small class sizes.
The award was initiated
in 1992 by school adminis
trators, who asked
School Match to use its
extensive database to recog
nize those schools which are
accountable and are meet
ing the needs of students.
Houston County has won
the award every year since
1995.

Hoax: coral calcium, the wonder drug
We’ve all seen the
infomercial on early-morn
ing TV touting the wonders
of coral calcium. I’ve had
many patients ask me about
this cure-all, and many have
wanted me to see this multi
level marketed product for
them. Of course, I refused
knowing it was a hoax, and
now the FTC and FDA have
filed a complaint in federal
court charging the makers
of the dietary supplement,
Coral Calcium Supreme,
with making false and
unsubstantiated claims.
This may explain why we
haven’t seen this infomer
cial any more.
The FTC noted there is
absolutely no reliable scien
tific evidence supporting the
claims that coral calcium is

Little Bucks
to open Friday
From staff reports
ATLANTA - The retail
chain Little Bucks is open
ing its first Warner Robins
store on Friday. Mayor
Donald Walker will cut the
ribbon, ceremonially open
ing the store at 8:45 a.m.
Located at City Crossing
Shopping Center on Watson
Boulevard, next to Pier One
Imports, Little Bucks will
open to the public for shop
ping at 9 a.m.
Because this 99-cent store
is known for selling a limit
ed number of high-end
items like television sets,
scooters and computer
games for 99 cents during
its grand opening weekends,
recent Little Bucks openings
in the Roswell and Marietta
suburbs of Atlanta drew
thousands of shoppers, some
claiming a place in line
hours before the doors
opened.
The 16,000-square-foot
Warner Robins store will
feature more than 1 million
items, all at a cost of 99
cents. Unlike most stores in
the “dollar store” category,
Little Bucks offers fresh
produce, grocery, frozen and
refrigerated foods in addi
tion to health and beauty
items, party goods, cleaning,
school, pet and automotive
supplies - many brand
name items.

form of calcium that cannot
be used by the body.
Think of it: Can you
absorb coral if you were to
eat it? Just like calcium sup
plements made from oyster
shells, this insoluble calcium
cannot be used by your
body, which requires soluble
calcium from leafy green
veggies, so go out and graze
in your backyard and you’ll
get all your calcium, fiber,
phytonutrients, and you
won’t have to mow your
lawn so often.
Ironically, I have a patient
who is Okinawan, and when
she heard of the wonders of
coral calcium extending life
spans, she phoned her fami
ly there who had no idea
what she was talking about.

Okinawans are a long-lived

due to drinking coral-laced
water, but it was actually
due to them eating fresh
produce and regular serv
ings of soy products and fish
(omega-3 fatty acids), which
may better explain their
good health.
An analysis of Okinanwan
marine coral has been
shown to contain calcium
oxide, magnesium oxide, sil
icon oxide, strontium oxide,
iron oxide, and aluminum
oxide, and aluminum has
been implicated with mental
disorders like Alzheimer’s.
So stick with eating fresh
green veggies and you’ll do a
lot better and save a lot of
money.
