Spring is just around the corner and now is a great time to refresh your boating skills by taking a boating safety class. Florida law requires boat and personal watercraft operators born on or after January 1, 1988 to pass an approved boating safety course and carry photo identification along with their Florida Boating Safety Education Identification Card if they operate any boat or PWC with a 10 hp motor or larger. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary specializes in providing one day boating safety education classes for preparation and testing to obtain your Florida Boating Education Identification Card. You will learn skills from experienced boaters who have a passion for boating safely. Classes are conveniently held in various locations in the Jacksonville area including Mandarin, Arlington, Jacksonville Beach, Fernandina Beach, Green Cove Springs and St. Augustine. Upcoming dates include February 11, 18, and 25.

The quick answer is that we are in a health crisis. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that one in nine adults has diabetes and if current trends continue, one in three will be diabetic by the year 2050. But there is some good news. People are waking up to the fact that local produce is better for their health. In fact, the USDA reports that sales of local foods through farmers’ markets, grocers and restaurants amounted to $4.8 billion in 2008 and is expected to grow to $7 billion in sales for 2011.
