According to Department of Transportation, Public Informa- tion Director Debbie Tower, at about 1 p.m. the Caloosahatch- ee Bridge span was opened for a tug boat and barge when the bridge and the bridge tender's house shook. The vibration was so violent that Ms. Backlund thought possibly the bridge may have been hit by the barge and damaged. A thorough inspection was made to the bridge and bridge fenders and it was determined that the bridge had not been bumped by the barge.

The breakers were reset and DOT crews stayed on the scene to make sure everything was back to normal. Weekly inspections are routinely done on the bridge.

According to Sheriff Ronnie Lee, this is the tenth marijuana growhouse discovered and destroy( ed in Hendry County dur- ing the past 13 months. This one was located at 2150 Tampa Avenue in the coirnmunit of Pio- neer Plantation. A search warrant was execut- ed by sheriff's investigators on March 30, at approximately 4:00 p.m. ,This growhouse was an elaborate, unique operation as it consisted of two semi-trailers.

Besides learning basic facts, the children all know the class rules. For instance, there is no television at Miss Lou's and only toys that promote learning are allowed no Superhero, "action" dolls or things of that nature.

Permanently-mounted structures, including outriggers and antennas, that can not be mechanically or manually low- ered are still subject to the regu- lation. These must be made col- lapsible. It is the vessel owner's responsibility to make the neces- sary modifications to the boat. Failure to do so can be viewed by the Coast Guard as refusing to lower a lowerable structure.

Her father said she's learning to write her let- ters and they know she will be ready for school when the time comes. Little Sarah's mother. Tammy Sodrel, is thrilled that her daughter is learning so much. "What really blew me away was the first time I heard her recite the Pledge of Alle- giance!" Tammy said In .their Christmas play even shy little Sarah walked right out and did her part with the other children, never missing a beat.

Barry Dragon, Chief of Bridge Operations for the L.S. Coast Guard's District 7 says he usually sees 60 reports a week of unnecessary bridge openings in his 6,000 bridge jurisdiction, which includes Florida, George and North Carolina. Usually a photo is taken at the time of the offense by the bridge operator and used as evidence if needed. Bridge operators ate also sub- ject to penalties if they refuse to open or they do not open the bridge on schedule. The LaBelle Bridge is not to be opened during peak traffic periods of 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Exceptions to this rule are tug boats, barges and vessels in distress. These have top priority and the bridge will be opened at any time for them. Another common violation that cruisers unknowingly com- mit is failure to request a bridge opening by signaling the bridge tender. Being a safety issue, each .boat must signal- it is not just fol- low-the-leader. Correction A slory in the March 23 issue Kyle McLain's name spelled,' of the Caloosa Belle had the incorrectly.

The series will cover basic information and actions to be taken if Pandemic Flu becomes a realistic threat to the citizens of Hendry and Glades counties. The most current information on Avian Flu is available at: http:,Avwww.pandemiclu.gov What is Avian Influenza? Bird Flu is a virus that affects birds. Avian Influenza does not usually infect people, but infections with these viruses have occurred in humans. The possibility of a human being infected is rare and usually involves touching a sick or dead bird that carried the virus, handling infected birds or touching surfaces contaminated by sick birds or their droppings. Avian Flu is also referred to as H5NI. Influenza viruses are grouped into three types: type A, type B, and type C. The subtypes *are further divided into different strains. Each specific strain can be Obituary Bonnie June Paynter Bonnie June Paynter, age 82, of LaBelle, passed away March 29, 2006, in LaBelle. She was born Apr. 29, 1923, in Correctionville, Iowa, the daughter of the late Clarence Henry and Pearl May (Lowrey) Bolles. She moved to LaBelle four years ago from Homestead, where she lived for 25 years. Survivors incude her husband: Philip Paynter; one daughter: Cheryl R.

While some Avian Influenza viruses are known to cause a minor effect in the health of poultry, some can evolve and change into highly pathogenic strains or those capa- ble of producing serious health problems. Since viruses need a liv- ing host to survive, they mutate or change to ensure their continued existence. This change in the virus make-up forms new strains that allows easier spread and can be harder to control. As DOH becomes more familiar with the concept of this emerging event we will be more aware of potential threats and what we can do to prepare. What is an epidemic? An epidemic is a widespread outbreak of disease. What is a pandemic? A pandemic is an epidemic (widespread outbreak) that affects the world. Pandemic flu is a global disease outbreak that occurs when little or no immunity to rte new virus and it can spread easily from person to person. Currently there is no pandemic flu. Pandemic Flu Planning You can prepare for an influen- za pandemic now. You should know what can happen during a pandemic outbreak and what actions you can take to help lessen the impact of an influenza pan- demic on you and your family. This checklist will help you gather the information and resources you may need in case of a flu pandem- ic. According to Dr. Fernandez of the Hendry and Glades County Health Departments "residents should start purchasing a few items each week" in case of an extended stay at home. Store a supply of water and food. During a pandemic, if you cannot get to a store or if stores are out of supplies, it will be important for you to have extra supplies on hand. This can be useful in other types of emergencies, such as n; Have any inonprescripuion drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes such as Gatorade or Pedialyte. Examples of food and non-per- ishables: medical, health and emergency supplies; ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables and soups. Prescribed medical supplies such as glucose and blood-pres- sure monitoring equipment, pro- tein or fruit bars, soap and water, or alcohol-based hand wash, dry cereal or granola, medicines for fever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, peanut butter or nuts, thermometer, dried fruit, anti-diar- rhea medication, crackers, vita- mins, canned juices, fluids with electrolytes, bottled water, cleans- ing agent.soap, canned or jarred baby food and formula, flashlight, pet food, batteries, portable radio, manual can opener, garbage bags, tissues, toilet paper and disposable diapers. County sets water rules By Patty Brant Hendry County commission- ers passed an ordinance at their March 27 meeting establishing a water shortage plan for the Port LaBelle Utilities service area. This water shortage plan is' similar to adjacent counties and spells out the county's powers to curtail water usage during times of draught or the diminished availability of water. PLBU board member John Capace told the commissioners that his board rec- ommended adoption of the ordi- nance. He said his board did pre- fer to exclude private wells and add xeroscape (landscaping for minimal water usage) recom- mendations instead. However, the county commissioners opted to include private wells in the ordinance. Commissioner Kevin McCarthy agreed, citing his concern for ade- quate potable water and fire con- trol in the future. It is expected that the county will implement water regulations later. Mr. Capece said next year is more of a concern for him. The current PLBU waterplant is at capacity now, with a backlog of 150 more connections still to be made. He said the plant needs an additional 100 percent capacity. With a new waterplant not expected to come on line until March 2007, he fears that it might not be able to provide enough water for customers from Decem- ber 2006 through February 2007. He added that the county needed to implement the new ordinance "stringently and effectively." The commissioners could look at landscaping regulations later. The next regular meeting of the Hendry County Board of County commissioners will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April II, at the Pioneer Plantation Community Center off Hendry Isles Blvd. (Please note time and location change.)

Suppose I was willing to make a deal with you! See if you would accept it. Here is the deal. You give me 5 percent of your annual salary, and make do on 95 per- cent of your income. You can probably do that. Here is my part of the deal. In the event you ever have an accident or sickness that keeps you out of work for three months (you should have at least three months savings in the bank for emergencies), I will then start paying you 60 percent of your income, tax-free, until you are 65 years of age or older, maybe even the rest of your life, or until you get well enough to go back to work. Assuming you are disabled and eliminate all unnecessary expenses, you can probably maintain your current standard of living on that 60 percent tax-free income. That will give you a lot of financial security! Do you want the deal? If you are in reasonably good health, that is what you get when you buy Disability Income Insurance from an insurance Financial Tips by Wayne C. Switzer company. How important is Disability Insurance? Here are some perti- nent facts. Home foreclosures due to death of the owner are 3 percent, but due to disability are 48 percent. One out of every four bankruptcies is due to disability. At age 30, there is over a 50 per- cent chance of having at least one long-term disability before age 65. At age 40, odds are about 45 per- cent. At age 50, odds are about 33 percent, and at age 60, odds are about 15 percent. Here is what you should know. The more income you make, the more important it is that you buy that type of insurance. If you have a highly professional education, it becomes even more important, because you are insuring the financial reward gained by all your education. Additionally, certain occupations receive an extra discount because they typi- cally have a low frequency of claims, combined with a natural incentive to return to work. Those occupations include Physicians, Attorneys, Pharma- cists, Architects, Engineers, Accountants, and Psychologists. Business owners, including con- tractors who make a good living, can also obtain a very good con- tract. Something I have mentioned before in this weekly column, when looking at insurance poli- cies, always check on the Exclu- sions and Limitations in the poli- cy. Knowing what is not covered is just as important as knowing what is covered.

Somehow that didn't seem fair. I thought she owed me an explanation so I determined to always give my children one.

Annie Ayers said, "I swore I would not ever make my kids have an 11 o'clock curfew, but that's exactly what I do. We have to get up at 5 a.m., so if they come in later than 11 p.m. on a week night they :wake us up." Sheila Ware said, "Eat all the food on your plate, there are starving children in China that would love to have your dinner. I have said the very same thing to my children." Heidi Dana said, "Whenever we acted up or got in trouble,, my mother always wanted to S know the name of the new kid S we were playing' with. And I have found myselfasking my Children, who are'you hang- .! ing out with that would talk to their parents like that?" Raquel Sanchez said, "My <-.. mother used to always say, .. 'don't waste water when you are brushing your teeth, turn the water off and also don't turn the light on when it's not really dark.' I say the same things to my kids. She also would tell me don't spoil your children and also never to get pregnant." James Sealey said, "I was one of seven children and we always all ate dinner together. No one could be excused until everyone was finished and my S two older sisters like to talk a ,l lot. Needless to say, I didn't like that rule. Now in my own family, we always wait for, everyone to be finished eating and are all excused together.

For more informa- tion: http://www.osterhoutmck- inney.com Conference to explore the elderly's issues premiums vary from one com- pany to another. With Disability Income Insur- ance there are some provision's that are very important. Those include: What is the definition of total disability? Residual disabili- ty? How long is the waiting peri- od? How long is the benefit peri- od? Is it Guaranteed Renewable? Is it Non-Cancelable? Does it have a cost-of-living increase rider to keep up with inflation, if you become disabled? If all of this has peaked your interest and you like the idea of having this protection, but not the 50o premium factor, here is a little more good news. By accept- ing less than lifetime or age 65 coverage, you can still get a lot oi coverage for 1 percent to 3 per- cent of your salary. Don't put it off until you have bad' health and insurability problems. Your local insurance agent can give you more information. Wayne C.

While some communities are struggling with drought, other :areas face flooding. Environmen- tal concerns are raised through- out the area, with lakes, rivers and coastal estuaries all suffering. State officials say solving South Florida's water woes requires understanding how the system works, and why it is in its current Condition. Florida became a state in 1845. To develop a tax base and bring People to the state, the legislature passed the Internal Improvement 'Act in 1855. This piece of legisla- ..tion gave or sold land at low 'prices to those who would drain it or build roads and railroads to :bring in goods, tourists and set- S-tlers. As white settlers migrated into * Florida after the Civil War in the :late 1800's, timber was cut to build homes and towns. Lumber -became big business. Wes -Raulerson and the Sherman fami- ly had saw mills in Okeechobee. :Throughout Florida, saw mills :sprang up, feeding the building of towns, homes and farms through- out the state and the nation. According to Lynda Rider of LaBelle, Sears Roebuck had a mill -located. south of present-day LaBelle. Sears shipped lumber north to provide lumber for their precut homes, sold through their catalogue and shipped, down to the last nail, by railroad to buyers around the country. Newspapers across the coun- try carried reports of the lush veg- etation, rich soil and year-around warm climate of Florida. These reports caught the eyes :of northern and Midwestern industrialists like Henry Flagler, Barron Collier and Richard Bolles, who bought huge tracts of land .from the state to drain and sell. Railroads, built by Henry Fla. gler and HenryB. Plant connected new towns and brought tourists and settlers alike. They built huge luxury hotels for tourists near their railroads. The rush for land 'began. Tampa was the site of a growing cigar industry, citrus :groves sprang up and sugar cane and rice were grown experimen- tally. The prairie land north of Basinger (in Okeechobee Coun- ty) attracted land developers dur- ing the lirst two decades of the 20th century even as other specu- lators followed the railroads to the east and west. Prior to 1910, the Southern Colonization Company, organized by mid-western busi- nessmen, purchased large tract of land, 36 square miles, in the belief that the prairie lands would be perfect for farming. A hotel and demonstration farm was built at Hunter's Camp, about seven miles north of .Basinger. Prospective buyers came down the Kissimmee River on Captain Johnson's steamer, were picked up in wagons to go look over the land. The standard tract sold was ten acres as the project was planned for small farmers. The buyers were prom- ised that a railroad would soon be built into the area. In 1916 the South Florida and 'Gulf Railroad reached Prairie Ridge, a point about 12 miles north of Basinger, according to Kyle Van Landingham's "History of Okeechobee," just above the area now known as the Viking, a further subdivision of The South- ern Colonization Company's orig- inal 1912 plat. Of course, the land wasn't really good for farming. Nathan Hazeleiff of Okeechobee remembers his grandfather's sell- ing orange trees to those develop- ers. They would plant them, then drive the city folk around and around, passing the same group of trees from different angles. Following World War I, large * numbers of Americans finally had the time and money to travel to Florida to vacation and to invest in real estate. Educated and skilled workers were receiving paid vaca- tions, pensions, and fringe bene- fits, which made it easier for them to travel and to purchase real ent pressured by development w"u"pircor SCom unit Links.

Land salesmen in Winter Haven in 1924 wait- ed for their buyers, spread along the tracks. Each had been assigned to several buyers. They were told which buyer was riding in which car, so they knew where to stand along the tracks. estate. ne automooDle was also becoming, an indispensable way for families to travel, and Florida was the perfect destination. Many of the people who migrated: into Florida were middle class Ameri- cans with families. By 1920, Florida had a popula-. tion of 968,470 people. Just five years later, the population had grown to 1,263,540. The State was so eager to drain the land that, they awarded thousands of acres. per mile of channel dug. As the land dried, crops were planted, livestock grazed and people mo\ed in. Florida was billed as a land of plenty, where crops sprung out of the ground almost as soon as they were planted. Towns were built in just a few \ears: Moore Haten, Clewiston, tkeechobee. -akeport -Pat(oee, Belle Glade and LaBelle were all founded between 1915 and 1925. Barton Collier was building to the west and Okeechobee was adver- tised as the "Chicago of the South." Small farmers, forced from the Midwest by drought, heard of Florida riches and came south to the rich muck lands of south Flori- da. Roads and railroads were built to bring in potential. buyers. Wealthy capitalists like Barron Collier, Henry Flagler, Richard "Dickey" Bolles and many others purchased thousands of acres for development. A.L. Matthews' Gladeview Farms was started in the everglades east of Belle Glade. William J. Conners, bought 17,000 acres to develop as farm- land along the newly completed Palm Beach Canal (1917) and built a toll road (the present-day State Road 70) to access it. He named his development the "Everglades Agricultural Area." A book titled, "Florida in the Making," published in 1926 said, "... men of vision and resources are creating wealth for them- selves, for the State of Florida, for the United States of America, and for the settlers who are pouring in to till the soil which they are preparing for tillage, reaping the rewards of creative vision and courage." Most people who bought and sold land in Florida at that time had never even set foot in the state. They hired young, ambi- tious men and women to stand in the hot sun, show the land to prospective buyers and accept a "binder" on the sale. A binder was a non-refundable down pay- ment that required the rest of the money to be paid in 30 days. Many people got rich quick from the commission they made from these sales. With land prices con- tinuing to rise rapidly, many buy- ers planned to sell the land at a profit before any real payment was due. Sometimes land buyers didn't even have enough money to pay for the land; instead they had just enough money for the binder. They were depending on the prices to keep going up. To help spur growth, the Flori- da Legislature passed laws that prohibited state income and inheritance taxes. During this time, horse and dog racing also grew in Florida as a way to attract rich gamblers. The railroads con- tinued to grow. Land was sold and resold, inflating prices and eventually leading to bankfailures in Florida and Georgia even before the stock market crash of 1929. The boom went bust. The development of air condi- tioning would help draw new res- idents to Florida. In 1902, young engineer named Willis Carrier was asked to resolve a humidity problem lor a publishing compa- ny in Brooklyn, N.Y. Their paper would expand or shrink with tem- perature and humidity and it was impossible to line up their type. Mr. Carrier developed a' method to chill, clean and de- humidify air in a building. Soon. other office buildings were air- conditioned. After WWI, movie theaters were. air conditioned, then government buildings and, in 1938, Philco marketed the first window air-conditioning unit. World War II sidelined private air conditioning in support ofthe war effort, but in 1955, Levitt Homes in New Jersey sold the first air- conditioned home. Florida had always been a tourist Mecca,. but with air condi- tioning, three of Florida's most objectionable features were over- come: heat, humidity and mos- quitoes. The U.S. space program came to Cape Canaveral, now Cape Kennedy, bringing thou- sands of workers and their fami- lies to Florida. The Mackle Brothers, under various corporations bought hun-, dreds of thousands of acres of land in the late 1940s into the 1980s, developing Biscayne Bay, Marco Island, Deltona, Port Char- lotte, Port St. Lucie, Palm Bay and Port LaBelle; hundreds of thou- sands of acres, selling lots for $10.- down, $10 a month for 10 'years, advertising nationwide to buyers who. again, often had never set foot in Florida. Little thought was given to any- thing but selling, selling, selling and platting more and more lots, building more and more houses. Little thought was given to the result. The size of these lots was sometimes too small for septic E~j \ i tanks; drainage was often poor; some lots were underwater; andm some were a problem because no physical improve- ments were made by the promot- er and were just "paper subdivi- sions." "Widespread growth contin- ued until the 1973, when the industry encountered several problems: an economic reces- sion, increased development costs, more rigorous consumer and environmental regulations, an oversaturated market, negative publicity and an energy crisis," said Hubert B. Stroud and- William M. Spikowski in "Plan- ning in the Wake of Florida Land Scams. The subdivision of wet- lands often caused the greatest. conflict between private rights and public needs. The continued. subdivision of fragile ecosystems, the scale of development and the in ability or unwillingness of local governments to control large developments resulted in state action to protect Florida's land and water. Florida has enacted some of the most stringent land development regulations in the nation." Beginning in 1970, local com- prehensive plans became manda- tory and in 1985 this system was overhauled according to Stroud and Spikowski. "Believing that many growth issues are too com- plex to be managed at the local level, the legislature created a top- down system of growth manage- ment. It added the concept that became know as "concurrency." A requirement that infrastructure such as roads, sewer, and water must be available before develop- ers can obtain the necessary per- mits to continue development." The platted lots left behind by eagerness for settlement and zeal for quick money created a legacy of problems like leaky septic tanks, drainage problems, traffic gridlock; overcrowded schools and the need for increased taxes because development did not pay itsown way. SAs state officials look for ways. to solve the problems facing the :south Florida.environment, con- tinued' developments 'put even more pressure on the watershed.

C~J Florida is one of the top pro- ducers of watermelon in the Unit- ed States, along with California, Texas and Georgia. -Watermelon is grown throughout the state. In 2004, Florida's cash receipts for watermelon totaled over $67 mil- lion. Native to Africa, watermelon is an edible gourd belonging to the same botanical family as squash and cucumbers. Ancestors of the modern watermelon grew wild in. the Kalahari Desert and were val- ued by the local people as an important source of food and. water. Archeological evidence sug- gests that watermelon was culti- vated in ancient Egypt more than 5,000 years ago, but it is not believed to have reached Europe until the Moors conquered Spain. By the late 1500's the Spanish were growing watermelons in Florida. In 2004, Florida farmers plant- ed 27,000 acres of watermelon. Large "picnic" are still the most common type grown, but increas- ingly producers are switching to the smaller "icebox" varieties their name refers to the fact watermel- on varieties are also gaining ground because they are easy to eat and even sweeter than tradi- tional types; they also have a longer shelf life. The latest trend at gourmet markets is the softball- sized, seedless "personal", water- melon, which can, be eaten in a single sitting, Coleman offers this advice to shoppers: "Look the watermelon over carefully before buying it" she said. "Choose a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free of bruises, cuts, and dents." Choosing a ripe watermelon is very important, since melons won't continue to ripen much ..-... after they've been picked. Select- ing a ripe watermelon is easy if you know what to look for. Before buy- ing, lift the melon. If it's ripe, it should feel heavy for its size. Next, turn it over. On the underbelly you should see a creamy yellow splotch. If the splotch is white or green, the watermelon was har- vested too soon. ujerea ror TrFe rlrrs time in 5u rearsl EXCELLENT HOMESITES GREAT HUNTING Friday -:- April 14 -:- 10:00 a.m. GA Hty. 333 & Empress Road, Brooks County, GA ana ,Pnnnf l R.jigln iU ,on Co A .rnT, rT Rowell Auctions, Inc.

Are pets safe from West Nile? The number of reported cases of the West Nile virus has decreased, but are our pets real- h safe from the disease? According to Michael Ward, a professor of epidemiology at the College of Veterinary Medi- cine and Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University, the West Nile virus still poses a threat, especially to horses. "The virus was first identified in 1937 in the West Nile district of Uganda, Africa, said Mr. Ward. "The virus then contin- ued to spread across the world," he said. "The first case identified in the United States was in 1999 in New York,.but the virus didn't appear in Texas until 2002." The virus is considered an arbovirus because mosquitoes, which are arthropods, spread it. "In most cases, mosquitoes bite infected birds and transmit it to other animals," said Ward. "There have been experi- ments where one infected bird spreads the disease to, another bird, but that usually doesn't happen naturally." The virus affects mammals and even reptiles, said Ward, but only some of the species show signs of the disease. "The virus can cause encephalitis, which is the inflammation of the brain," he said. "The encephalitis can cause weak- ness, wobbling, dragging of the feet and paralysis. "Horses are probably the most susceptible mammals to the West Nile virus. "There have been cases of humans becom- ing infected, but horses usually showings signs of the disease more often than humans do," said Ward. "There have been very few cases of the disease in dogs and cats." "The most important thing horse owners can do to prevent their animal from contracting this virus is to vaccinate," he said. "Horses need to be vacci- nated about two months before the start of the mosquito season for maximum protection." There are two licensed vac- cines currently available for horses. "These vaccines usually require a series of two to three shots and are 90-95 percent effective," said Mr. Ward. "Both vaccines are usually adminis- tered by a veterinarian." Other methods of preven- tion include removing mosqui- to- breeding sites such as stand- ing water and litter from places where animals are housed, said Ward. "I suggest owners use water troughs that can be drained about every week to prevent mosquito breeding." There.is currently no cure for West Nile virus, said Mr. Ward. "Generally veterinarians use supportive treatment to make the animal feel better," he said. "They give the animal antibi- otics or anti-inflammatory med- icine to help treat the symptoms of the virus." There has been evidence that the vaccines help reduce some of the symptoms if the animal is vaccinated early, 'he adds. The West Nile virus caused a scare with its outbreak in 1999, but the presence of vaccina- tions has caused the number of reported cases to decrease. However, Mr. Ward suggests not to be fooled by the lack of outbreaks. "The risk now is that people will think the virus has disap- peared and stop vaccinating their horses, which could cause another outbreak," he said. DVD helps prepare for disasters WASHINGTON DC With The Department of Homeland Securi- ty's Federal Emergency Manage- ment Agency (FEMA) facing the upcoming 2006 hurricane season - being touted as just as active as last years' and watching killer tornados, floods and wildfires. from Illinois to California wreak death and destruction, a new citi- zen preparedness DVD titled, "Getting Ready For Disaster One Family's Experience" is ready for distribution to help people get ready for those natural and man- made disasters that may impact their families and their communi- ties. The DVD guides viewers through important steps of disas- ter preparedness and brings into focus issues such as drafting a family disaster plan, stockpiling food and water; helping children cope with disasters and prepared- ness for special populations such as the elderly and people with dis- abilities. "Being prepared for disasters is everyone's responsibility," said FEMA's Acting Director, R. David Paulison. "We're excited.that this professionally-produced and highly informative product is now available as we approach what's expected to be another active hur- ricane season. And it's not just for hurricane preparedness, but rather follows FEMA's all hazards approach to disaster prepared- ness. The content is based on the most reliable hazard awareness and emergency education infor- mation, such as the latest scientif- ic knowledge and physical research on what happens in dis- asters. The DVD's story surrounds a 12 year-old boy, whose school assignment challenges him to learn about disasters and emer- gencies. He is instructed to devel- op a disaster plan and a disaster supplies kit for his family with his family's help. As a result of fol- lowing the easy steps to prepared- ness, the youngster and his family 1) get prepared together, 2) man- age to help others as they get pre- pared, and 3) decide to volunteer so that they can help even more of their neighbors get prepared. The DVD's seven segments include: 1) Getting Informed; 2) Making a Plan; 3) Assembling a Disaster Supplies Kit; 4) Food and Water in an Emergency; 5) Help- ing Children Cope with Disaster; 6) Disability and Special Needs Populations; and 7) Getting Involved Citizen Corps and walk the viewer, step by step, through lifesaving procedures for being ahead of the storm and knowing what to do when danger threatens. The DVD is designated # "FEMA 500" for ordering purpos- es and is now available at the FEMA Distribution Center by call- ing 1-800-480-2520. Orders are being limited to one DVD per caller for the time being. In the coming months, the DVD will be translated to Spanish and will be available in both languages on a single DVD. FEMA officials say the DVD, produced with funds from Home- land Security's United States Fire .Administration, is designed to be used with FEMA's 200-page Are You Ready? An In Depth Guide to Citizen Preparedness and accom- panying facilitator manual for teaching preparedness principles in small group or classroom set- tings. More than 267,000 Are You Ready? guides have been ordered from FEMA in only 18 months, with more that 5,000 facilitator guides in the hands of trainers across the country..Thanks to the guides and the cadre of trainers, citizens are learning how to get informed about local emergency plans, how to identify hazards that affect their area, and how to develop and maintain an emer- gency communications plan and build their own disaster supplies kit. Are You Ready? is just one of many resources Homeland Secu- rity provides American citizens to help them be prepared against all types of hazards. Homeland Security's Ready campaign seeks to help America be better pre- pared for even unlikely emer- gency scenarios. Information on how the public can be ready in case of a national emergency, including a possible terrorism attack involving biological, chem- ical or radiological weapons, can be found by logging on to www.ready.gov or by calling 800- BE-READY for printed informa- tion. Florida urges early vaccinations for horses TALLAHASSEE Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bronson is urging horse owners to vaccinate their horses against Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus as mosquito season gets under way. Four cases of EEE have already been con- firmed in Florida since January, one as recently as this week, even though the first cases are not usually seen until May. Mr. Bronson says the majority of cases can be prevented through proper vaccinations and booster shots against mosquito borne illnesses and he is remind- ing horse owners that now is the time to take action. "Last year there were 150 reported cases of EEE across.43 counties, triple the number from the year before when 48 cases of the disease reported impacting 27 counties," Mr. Bronson said. "Now that mosquito season is upon us, it is critical that horse owners take steps to protect their animals. We have already seen some EEE cases due to the relatively warm winter and we need to ensure that cases are kept to a minimum." EEE is a viral disease that affects the central nervous sys- tem and is transmitted to horses by infected mosquitoes. Signs of the virus include fever, listless- ness, stumbling, circling, coma and usually death. The disease is fatal in horses in 90 percent of the cases. Mr. Bronson says he is pleased that no cases of West Nile Virus have been reported so far this year, and WNV cases have continued to drop over the years since a vaccination against the disease became available in 2001. "There was a lot of attention paid to West Nile Virus when it was first discovered in Florida in 2000. Horse owners did a very good job in protecting their ani- mals from this disease. We want to be sure they are just as aggres- sive in protecting horses against EEE," Mr. Bronson said. The Department and the state's numerous mosquito con- trol districts have strengthened their surveillance, control and prevention measures in order to be better prepared for mosquito- borne illnesses. There are ongo- ing efforts to keep the mosquito populations down, but because there is no fool proof method to : prevent the diseases, vaccina- tions are critical. So far this year EEE has been confirmed in horses in Colum- bia, Duval, Marion and Levy counties, all of which were fatal.
