Republicans currently hold a 17-10 edge even though President Barack Obama twice carried the state. The vote was largely along partisan lines as Democrats complained that the new map still doesn't reflect that Florida is a battleground state with a divided elec- torate. The Senate passed the measure 25-12, with the House following by a 71-38 vote.

Seacrest also provides wolves to education programs around the country. Pat Goodman, curator of Wolf Park in Battle Ground, Indiana, has worked with wolves for more than 40 years, and said Seacrest has a good reputation for raising healthy wolves that serve as ambassadors for their species in places around the country. In Florida, thousands of miles from many of the wolves’ native habitat, Seacrest uses spray misters, large ponds and lots of shade inside the wolves’ densely wooded enclosures to help the animals deal with the heat and humidity. The preserve is still recovering from a major flood in late April when heavy rains burst a dam on the property, washing out the wolf enclosures. The flood led to the death of one British Columbian wolf that escaped from its enclosure. It was shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy after an extensive search for the animal led by Florida’s Fish and Wild Conservation Commission.

Carpools, afterschool activities and homework can make it diffi cult to incorporate wholesome meals into the day. However, it’s important to make sure your child is eating a nutritious diet to keep energy levels high and concentration focused in school. Soy is packed with essential nutrients important for a child’s growth and development. The vitamins and minerals in soyfoods, such as iron, calcium, potassium and complete protein, will help kids grow strong bones and lean muscles, setting them up for a healthy future.

INTRODUCING KIDS TO SOY While some kids are picky eaters, others are just reluctant to try new things. Here are some simple ideas for introducing soyfoods into your child’s diet. • Blend it in: Soymilk and tofu both blend well with other ingredients, so it is easy to sneak into your child’s favorite dishes, from mac and cheese and quesadillas to pizza and brownies, reducing saturated fat and cholesterol in dishes. • Make it fun: Get creative and make snack time enjoyable. Serve little ones a variation of ants on a log, but ﬁ ll the celery with soynut butter before placing the raisins on top. • Focus on ﬁ nger foods: Edamame is a nutrient-dense snack that’s easy to grab and eat. Kids will enjoy popping the beans out of the pods and straight into their mouth. Honey roasted soynuts are also a favorite alternative to peanuts. • Serve familiar dishes: Try swapping the meat in your child’s favorite dishes with soyfoods. For instance, serve veggie burgers rather than hamburgers or use soy crumbles in place of ground meat in chili, spaghetti or tacos.

PACK A HEALTHY LUNCHBOX One way to make sure your child is eating well throughout the day is to send a healthy lunchbox to school. Here are some items to pack in your child’s lunch to boost the nutritional value. • Pack a salad-in-a-jar by layering the ingredients in a mason jar, including shelled edamame as a ﬁ lling protein. • Serve pita pockets ﬁ lled with fresh vegetables, tofu, lettuce and dressing. • Pair sandwiches with mini rice cakes or cheddar soy crisps, rather than potato chips. • Include protein-packed options like chocolate soymilk or a whole soy and fruit nutrition bar.
