PRESIDEN'T'S MESSAGE
By Robert Miller

First of all, I would like to thank all of you who made our convention in Tampa a great success and would also like to extend a special thank you to the Convention Committee who did a super job.
I would also like to welcome our new officers, Dan Spoone, Second Vice President, Patti Davis, Treasure and Linda Jacobson, Membership Secretary. I look forward to working with you on the Executive Committee.

I thank all of you for your support in my re-election as your president. As I stated in my Presidents Report, FCB has certainly been affected financially by "9/11" and a declining stock market. It is my intention to focus on this issue and look for opportunities to make FCB financially sound again. We will be looking at grant opportunities, expanding the Vehicle Donation program and publicizing the Driver's License Renewal Donation program. I would also like to encourage more chapters to participate in our annual raffle since it helps the state as well as your local chapter. While I am on the raffle subject, I want to specially recognize 3 of our chapters: Clay, Tallahassee and Metro Miami who sold 2,000 tickets or more. Just think of the financial benefit if each chapter could do that. Perhaps we could give a cash prize for the chapter who sells the most tickets.

While we are on the subject of money, and it seems I always forget something at convention, For-the-people.com has been very generous in providing our voice chat room on their web site. Like any business it takes money to operate and for-the-people is no different. I would like to ask any chapter or individual who would like to make a donation to them to send it to John Richards Chair of the Technology Committee and he will forward it to them. His contact information are, phone, (352) 629-4530. Address:
939 N.E. 18th St
Ocala, FL 34470
Email:
richards3@juno.com

Jesus Garcia and I will bee attending the ACB National Convention in Houston Texas June 29th through July 6th. I'm sure it will be a busy time with lots of interesting topics and work shops. As some of you have read in the last Braille Forum, one major topic for discussion will be a constitutional change that will remove the membership cap over a period of years for chapters that have over 625 members. We will be following this issue very closely since that will have a major affect on FCB. For those of you who will be attending the National convention, I look forward to seeing you there.

This year seems to be the year for change and that is certainly true for Sila and I. We will be moving to our new home on July 9th. Our new address is:
2201 Limerick Dr.
Tallahassee, FL 32309
Our new phone number is (850) 906-9821 and my new E-mail address is:
easytalk@earthlink.net
Sila's e-mail will stay the same,

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
Trim Down and Slim Down:
Author Unknown

Physical fitness is a key to good health and well being, so all of us benefit from regular exercise. A program of exercise that increases and maintains heart rate at the ideal level improves the function of the heart and circulatory system. A serious exercise enthusiast wears a little device that monitors heart rate and indicates the ideal heart rate. The best workout occurs when the actual heart rate is maintained at the ideal heart rate for the proper amount of time.

The exerciser who is a senior citizen, who is visually impaired or who is blind needs a heart rate monitor that announces the vital Information. Now, there is a quality heart rate monitor that speaks all the buttons when pressed and says all the functions that are monitored. Stereo headphones let the wearer privately hear all monitored heart functions throughout a workout. The Heart Talker is comfortable to wear; its adjustable elastic strap fits most users and other straps are available. Even its stereo headphones are adjustable.

The Heart Talker gives the wearer friendly verbal assurance and the support needed to work out at the proper level! This helps the wearer to burn fat more efficiently; consequently, the wearer can lose weight and build muscle. The Heart Talker acts as a chatty personal trainer. Heart Talker is constructed with current computer technology. Heart Talker comes with rechargeable batteries already installed and charged. Heart Talker is ready to be used! (Extra batteries can be purchased at most discount or drug stores.) Call us to order this fitness tool for $95.00 at
(877) 993-4994.

AMERICAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND BRINGS SUIT TO MANDATE CHANGE IN DESIGN OF U.S. PAPER CURRENCY

Today, the American Council of the Blind (ACB) filed suit against the Secretary of the Treasury and the Treasurer of the United States to require changes in the design of U.S. paper money. Most Americans are fortunate enough to take for granted the ability to recognize banknote denominations. However, for millions of Americans who are blind or visually impaired, it is impossible to distinguish one denomination from another. The suit brought today seeks to remedy this long-standing difficulty for Americans who are blind. The action seeks declaratory and injunctive relief under the provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. 794. Pursuant to this provision, individuals with disabilities may not be excluded from or denied the benefits of participation in any program or activity conducted by United States government. The issuance of banknotes is clearly an activity conducted by the United States government on behalf of all of its citizens. However, people with visual disabilities are largely excluded from enjoying the benefits of this activity due solely to their physical limitations.

People who are blind or severely visually impaired currently have no reliable way to independently distinguish between bills of various denominations because all paper money is virtually identical in every way except for appearance, explained Christopher P. Gray of San Francisco, president of the Council, which is the leading consumer organization of people who are blind in the United States. people who cannot use vision to distinguish one bill from another, there's just no way for us to tell which bank note we may be holding in our hands independently or reliably, right now, because a $1 feels just like a $5, and so on.

The legal action, brought by Washington, D.C. attorney Jeffrey Lovitky on behalf of the Council, would require that the U.S. Treasury implement changes in the design of paper currency to make it readily accessible to people who cannot rely on vision to distinguish one bank note from another. Several options have been suggested to accomplish this, including varying the size and length of bills of the different denominations, varying the color or texture of specific denominations, or including braille or other tactile markings for purposes of identification.

This change would bring the United States into conformance with current practice in over 120 other countries, said Charles Crawford of Silver Spring, Md., executive director of the Council. Right now, blind people are forced to rely upon either the honesty of people with whom they engage in routine financial transactions or the assistance of other people who can read what denomination a particular bill is. There's not always someone else around to ask, and our inability to distinguish one bill from another places us at risk and compromises our independence and individual freedom.

The changes we are requesting are not extraordinary or un burdensome, said Melanie Brunson of Vienna, Va., ACB's Director of Advocacy and Governmental Relations. A long ago as 1995, the National Academy of Sciences identified the difficulties which people with visual impairments experience with routine financial transactions as a result of the inaccessibility of bank notes. Their report, which was commissioned by the U. S. Department of the Treasury, is still available online at:
http://www.nap.edu/catalog/4828.html?se_side

Seven years have gone by since experts documented what every blind person already knows, that our inability to distinguish a $5 from a $20 can create enormous difficulties, and in many ways results in our exclusion from participating in the normal everyday activities that Americans without visual impairments take for granted.

The American Council of the Blind is a national membership organization whose purpose is to work toward independence, security, equality of opportunity, and improved quality of life for all blind and visually impaired people. Founded in 1961, ACB's members work through more than 70 state and special-interest affiliates to improve the well-being of all blind and visually impaired people by: serving as a representative national organization; elevating the social, economic and cultural levels of blind people; improving educational and rehabilitation facilities and opportunities; cooperating with the public and private institutions and organizations concerned with blind services; encouraging and assisting all people with severely impaired vision to develop their abilities and conducting a public education program to promote greater understanding of blindness and the capabilities of people who are blind. To learn more about the Council's work, visit the web site at:
http://www.acb.org
or contact the national office in Washington, DC, at (202) 467-5081.

Jeffrey A. Lovitky is a Washington D.C. attorney who represents a broad range of corporate and other clients before a variety of United States government agencies. He is the author of several legal publications, and is board certified in health law. Mr. Lovitky may be reached at (202) 429-3393, or via e-mail at

TIPS FOR TRAVEL
TRAVELING WITH DIABETES

Here are some hints for travelers with diabetes:
Well before a trip, schedule a medical checkup, including any vaccinations, and obtain a doctor's note stating condition and treatment needs. Keep the doctor's note available to avoid problems at customs and at airport check-in. Update all medical alert information so that it can be carried or worn on a medical ID tag, bracelet or necklace in case of an emergency. Check blood sugar levels whenever possible during a trip. Most air carriers will arrange for a special diabetic meal if contacted 24 to 48 hours in advance of a flight.

Pack all medications in carryon luggage, with temperature-sensitive medications in insulated cases for protection and temperature control. Syringes should be safely stored in appropriate cases to avoid injury.

For vacations that require a great deal of walking, take extra care to wear comfortable shoes, check feet daily and avoid walking barefoot in areas where shells or rocks may cause small cuts. Equally important is to get plenty of exercise, sufficient rest and drink enough liquids to avoid dehydration.

When traveling abroad, even if you expect to be surrounded by foreigners who speak English, it is important to learn and practice the following phrases in the native language of the country: I have diabetes; please get me to a doctor." "Sugar or juice, please." Make sure to pack enough oral medication or insulin and syringes for one extra week beyond the trip's duration, and also take along all written prescriptions. Pack blood glucose and urine monitoring equipment as well as bandages, antiseptic and sunscreen.

A GUIDE TO TIPPING:
Who and How Much?

From Women's Consumer Network

As you pack your bags for the summer travel season, don't forget to take some small bills. Small sums go a long way among hospitality, travel and entertainment workers who help make your vacation go smoothly.

"There are two major mistakes people make about tipping," reports Hilka Klinkenberg, founder and managing director of Etiquette International, a business etiquette firm in New York City. "The first mistake is not tipping sufficiently. Usually this is because someone doesn't know what to do or can't be bothered. The other mistake is being showy or flamboyant about tipping. Men have more of a tendency to do this than women."

While the list of people you need to tip during a vacation may seem quite long, ultimately, you just have to be prepared. "Tipping is a part of the cost of your trip," says Klinkenberg.

A tip rewards good service. If you feel you haven't received the service you deserve, then don't feel obligated to leave a tip.

Here are some guidelines on whom to tip and how much:

At the airport:
Skycaps: The standard is $ 1.00 - $2.00 per bag. Consider $2.00 if the skycap has been especially helpful by getting a ticketing problem squared away.

Shuttle and van drivers: $1.00 per person, more if the person assists with your bags and/or helps you in and out.

At the hotel:
BellHops: The standard is $1.00 per bag. "But if you have a monstrously heavy suitcase, you should tip more," says Klinkenberg.

Concierge: No tipping for run-of-the-mill help like giving you the names of a few good restaurants. "However, if a concierge works hard to get you a reservation at a popular restaurant or special seats at the theater, then $5.00 -$10.00," advises Klinkenberg.

Room Service: 15% of the charge. Just be sure the gratuity hasn't already been added to the bill.

Housekeeping/maid: This behind-the-scenes person is often forgotten, but it is customary to tip maids at least $1 per night at most hotels. If you're staying at a luxury hotel or resort, then $2.00 -$5.00 per night is more appropriate.

Doorman: $1.00 for hailing a cab is appropriate, more if the doorman provides a special service like carrying your bag or holding an umbrella to keep you out of the rain.

Parking attendant: Tip $1.00 - $2.00 when the car is delivered.

Around town:
Restaurant wait staff: 15 - 20% of the pre-tax check. If 15# has been added, because you are part of a large party, you need only tip another 5% for excellent service.
Bartenders: 10 - 15% of the bar bill.
Coatroom attendant: $1 per coat.
Tour guides and charter bus drivers: If a tip isn't included automatically, tip $2.00-3.00 per day for each member of your group.

Cab drivers: 15% of the fare.

At the salon:
Hair stylist: 15% of the total bill.
Manicurist: 10 - 15% depending on the total cost.
Person who shampoos your hair: $1.00 to $2.00.
Massage therapist: 10% tip is acceptable but a 20% tip for a good massage is not uncommon.

DONATION FOR PROJECT INSIGHT
By Rosanna M. Lippen, Project Insight Co-chairperson

A long-held dream of many who work and live in the blind community was that there would someday be easy access to information about services, locations of peer support groups, and other assistance for people who are blind and visually impaired. It seemed impossible to obtain information about what was out there and where to find it. It was obvious that one of the most difficult challenges about losing one's sight was the feeling of isolation and the lack of basic knowledge about where to find assistance; indeed, knowledge that assistance was available at all.

What was needed was a comprehensive list and a viable way to distribute it. In addition, however, was the need for people experiencing sight loss to communicate with others who had faced and successfully dealt with the challenge.

In the early 1990's, a group of members of The Florida Council of The Blind decided to "do something" and began assembling a list of all kinds of services and opportunities available to people who are blind and visually impaired. Our motto, "You have lost your sight, not your vision" exemplifies our basic belief that many with vision problems can live an active and productive life if they can acquire the tools they need to do this.

Because of the generosity of affiliate chapters, Project Insight can continue and grow. In June, Project Insight received a generous donation of $700 from the Tallahassee affiliate. It is because of efforts such as this, we can keep to our words. Thanks Tallahassee! If any one has further questions or would like to assist in any way regarding project insight, please give our invaluable coordinator, Bobbie Probst a call at 1-800-26 SIGHT (1-800-267-4448) And remember, "you have lost your sight, not your vision."

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CENTURY MAKES
Life In the summer of 1900
Author Unknown - Reprinted from The AALV Hourglass Contributed by:
Al Gayzagian

The average life expectancy in the United States in 1900 was 47. Only 14% of the homes in the United States had a bathtub. Only 8% of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost $11. There were only 8,000 cars in the US, and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populated state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average wage in the US was 22 cents an hour. The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2,000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95% of all births in the United States took place at home. 90% of all US physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were 14 cents a dozen. Coffee cost 15 cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. The five leading causes of death in the US were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza, 2. TB, 3. Diarrhea, 4. Heart disease, and 5. Stroke. The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30. This remote desert community was inhabited by only a handful of ranchers and their families. Plutonium, insulin, and antibiotics hadn't been discovered yet. Scotch tape, crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. One in 10 US adults couldn't read or write. Only 6% of all Americans had graduated from high school. 18% of households in the United States had at least one full-time servant or domestic worker. There were about 230 reported murders in the U.S. annually. How times change! What a difference a century makes!

Sound Waves Reveal Obstacles - Radar Cane Sees Ahead

The traditional cane used by the blind is getting a high-tech overhaul. Like a bat, the new BatCane, developed by two British companies, uses echo-location, powered by batteries. It sends out ultrasound pulses, then listens to the echoes reflected by nearby objects. Vibrations tell the user that an object is nearby. It uses AA batteries.

The cane is currently being tested by groups, including the American Council of the Blind and England's The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. It is expected to be available for purchase in late 2002, says Patrick Pordage, marketing and communications manager of Cambridge Consultants, the company that developed the BatCane in conjunction with Sound Foresight.

Stay Safe In the Hospital
When to say no to this drug!

In a study of 204 hospitalized patients taking metformin (Glucophage), a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, 27% developed a risk for a serious and potentially life-threatening drug side effect, lactic acidosis, and nearly half of these patients were continued on the drug despite the risk (Archives of Internal Medicine, Feb. 25, 2002)

The risk of developing lactic acidosis - a dangerous buildup of lactic acid in the blood - is small, but the condition is fatal about 50% of the time. If you take metformin and develop risk factors for lactic acidosis, such as poor kidney function, congestive heart failure, or liver disease, ask about switching your diabetes medication.
