Hot temperatures and high humidity mean lots of sweating, and this can increase your chance of dehydration. To avoid becoming dehydrated, it is important to drink plenty of fluids, especially water -- even if you don't feel thirsty. Depending upon your physical activity and heat exposure during hot weather, it's a good idea to drink even more water. According to health experts, fluid requirements vary from person to person. Please keep in mind that people with medical conditions, such as kidney disease, heart disease, or those who require a fluid restricted diet or who have problems with fluid retention, should consult a physician before increasing their fluid consumption. Knowing the signs of dehydration and knowing what to do, is very important. Signs of dehydration can include excessive thirst, headache, weakness, feeling dizzy or light headed, nausea, muscle cramps, feeling overly tired or sluggish and feeling irritable. You may also experience decreased urine levels and/or urine that has a strong odor or is darker than normal.
You may experience all, some or none of these signs, so the best way to avoid dehydration is to monitor your water or fluid intake, modify your physical activity or reduce the length of activity according to weather conditions. Don't wait for the symptoms of dry mouth, flushed skin, headaches, lightheadedness or fatigue. You should prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day. Help to avoid becoming dehydrated by staying out of the direct sun, wearing light-colored and loose fitting clothing, limiting physical activity and using fans whenever possible. If you suspect you are becoming dehydrated, get to a cool or shady
area and sip cool water or fluids. If your condition does not improve, seek medical attention immediately.

The Glades Initiative, Inc. Thanks the Teens of Camp Fire Sunshine Council for Landscaping Project
The Glades Initiative, Inc. was selected by the teens of Camp Fire Sunshine Council of Lakeland for a service-learning road trip on July 9. These hardworking teens, Tiffany, Robert, Jenna, Matt, and Morgan - gave back to the Glades community by helping to improve the landscape at the Glades Initiative offices. The teens coordinated the entire project as they develop leadership skills. The CampFire program is a service-learning road trip for teens. Five teens and two adults are traveling throughout Florida giving back to the communities they visit. Service-learning is more than just volunteering; service-learning projects help the teens see the world in a new way, to feel empowered to make a difference, and to improve academic skills through real life experiences.
Our Program Assistant, Sandy Desty, gave the teens a presentation of the work we do in the Glades communities. The project was managed by our volunteer, Bob Rehr, who worked along with the teens and donated the landscaping material. Bob visits us weekly to assist Glades nonprofit organizations with distribution of food from the Palm Beach County Food Bank and our Glades Area Food Bank. To view more photos, click here.
The BEFORE picture. Seriously in need of improvement!
Summer Break Spots or the Summer Food Service Programs are federally funded by the USDA and is state-administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Children need healthy food all year long in order to grow and learn. During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-priced meals through the School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. When school lets out for the summer, many of these children are at risk of hunger or poor nutrition. This program is designed to ensure that children have access to the nutritious meals they need to grow, learn and play during the summer months and to help ensure their bodies and minds are healthy and strong for the upcoming school year.
There is no cost for meals. USDA requires that meals be served at no charge to the children. However, the site may have a fee set for the activity program they provide.
At almost all sites, there is no application necessary and any child 18 or younger can simply come during meal times to receive a meal.
However, we do suggest that you give them a call first to let the site know that your child may be coming during meal time. Some sites ask that an adult or responsible teen accompany children during the meal time because they don't have staff to handle extra children that may not be a part of their regular activity program. Exception: A few sites (like overnight camps and sites in higher income areas) do require that parents fill out a form about family income in order for children to receive meals.
First day of school for students: August 18th Dress Code- Polo Shirts (only)- Beige, White, Maroon, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green Pants- (Long only)- Khakis, Black, Beige, Blue, Gray, Brown, White & Jeans Belts must be worn by males and Females Clear or mesh Backpacks only.

Youth Empowerment Center Participants Win Award for Video from Florida League of Cities
Members of the Belle Glade Youth Empowerment Center shot a seven minute video of Belle Glade that takes audiences on a powerful trip through the city's poverty stricken areas, its deserted playgrounds and dilapidated houses. The thought-provoking video was the third place winner of the Florida League of Cities' 2014 Youth Council Video Competition. The third annual video contest asked youth councils from around the state to look at the needs of their own cities and to find, in their opinion,the most critical need facing youth in their home town this year. Youth from the Belle Glade Youth Empowerment Center scoured the city and offered the idea to build a multi-complex recreational facility where young people could congregate in a safe environment. The pro�posed location for the facility was the Loading Ramp, where migrant work�ers line up in the mornings for buses that take them to the fields and where violence often occurs at night under
he shield of darkness. Video makers showed the importance of a safe haven for youth by highlighting the city's empty parks, its heightened gang violence and rundown buildings. The video also spoke of the 1980s HIV/AIDS crisis which sent other schools running, in a paroxysm of fear and naivety, from the dominating Glades Central Raiders. It also interviewed a well-known member of the community, Willie Clark, who has been serving the city of Belle Glade since 1946 at his barber shop. Clark spoke of the many changes he has witnessed since he moved to the city in 1941, including the ample supply of work that has dwindled year after year after year.
For their hard work on the video, the Youth Empowerment Center will receive a trophy and monetary award, as well as recognition at the Florida League of Cities' annual conference. The winners will also be featured in the League's statewide publication, "Quality Cities" magazine. "The contest offers an opportunity for Florida's youth councils to showcase their ideas, creativity and commitment to their community," said P.C. Wu, president of the Florida League of Cities and councilman for the city of Pensacola. "Cities feel that it is important to expose young people to civic education at an early age so that they become more knowledgeable and active citizens. Youth councils are a great way to get local youth involved in their city governments."
Free Mammograms for those who Qualify at Lakeside Medical Center
Don't allow money to keep you from getting a mammogram, and potentially saving your life. You may qualify for a FREE mammogram at Lakeside Medical Center through a grant from Susan G Komen South Florida. Annual mammograms can detect cancer early - when it is most treatable. In fact, mammograms show changes in the breast up to two years before you or a physician can feel them. Mammograms can also prevent the need for extensive treatment for advanced cancers and improve the chances of breast conservation. Current guidelines recommend that women receive annual mammograms starting at age 40 - even if they have no symptoms or family history of breast cancer.
To see if you qualify for a free mammogram and to make an appointment, call Lakeside Medical Center in Belle Glade at 561-996-6571 ext. 8286

Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health Crisis Unit - Belle Glade
The community needs your help in advocating for the CSU (Crisis) Unit to remain open in our area. The Crisis unit is an inpatient stablilization/detox unit that serves residents (children and adults) of the Glades and surrounding areas. Many of these individuals are admitted to the program involuntarily committed under the Florida Baker Act Law. When individuals represent a danger to themselves and/or others, it is critical that they get the needed treatment in a safe and timely manner. Presently, CSU is in jeopardy of losing funding from Palm Beach County. The Board of County Commissioners are scheduled to meet and vote on the topic tomorrow July 22, 2014. Please voice your opinion through e-mails, fax, etc., to the Board of County Commissioners today!
Here is what could happen if the Glades CSU is not funded:
The Sheriff department will have to transport individuals in crisis to West Palm Beach taking the officers from their regulr duties for no less than two hours, placing the individual in crisis, the deputy and the community in danger.
Family members for adults and children in crisis will have to travel to West Palm Beach to see their loved ones, adding more stress to already very stressful situation.
Family will have difficulties to be involved in the treatment plan of their loved ones as they will have to travel over 120 miles (roundtrip). If they are in need of using public transportaion, the roundtrip will take them over 6 hours.
Eliminating this most needed service in the Glades area will have a compound negative effect to the community, placing the Glades residents in a precarious situation.
Removing the CSU from the Glades area will take out a key component and a community safety net from the Glades continuum of care.

NonProfit Legal Assistance Project Newsletter: Significant Changes to Florida's Data Breach Law
The Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 1524, or the Florida Information Protection Act of 2014, on April 30, 2014, and was signed by the governor. The new law takes effect July 1, 2014, and will impose stringent new requirements on numerous Florida businesses that handle personal information. According to the Florida Office of the Attorney General (AG), the purpose of the bill is to better protect the confidential personal information of Floridians and hold accountable those who attempt to breach the security of that information, although many of the new penalties will significantly affect organizations who experience a breach. In addition, this new law will have a significant impact on Florida health care providers and health plans. This new Bill will replace the existing statute in Florida.
