Meet your county manager By Barbara Oehlbeck MOORE HAVEN Capsule resume: Highly dedicated Execu- tive Manager with a strong back- ground in county service and gov- ernment, including managing team performance, planning and developing operations, maintain- ing budgets in excess of $30, developing and maintaining pros- perous business relationships and solving problems in a timely and effective manner. In addition, Mr. Taylor holds a Bachelor of Science Degree, has had extensive military training and was inducted into.the Florida 4-H Hall of Fame, 2002. With his background and vast experience, why did Wendell H. Taylor come to Glades County? His answer is straightforward and to the point. "I came here because I was invited to come as an interim county manager. I received a call from the Glades County Clerk of Court, Joe Flint, who had been asked to make the call by the Board of County Commissioners. They were looking for an interim manager. This was in July 2005. I1 actually received a call as early as June. And I said,' Before I come...have you seen my resume?' The answer was no. And I replied, 'You may not even want me'. Nevertheless, I faxed a copy of my resume. Then I said, 'After you've read the resume and your people look at it a little bit, you call me back if you still want me and we'll talk about this.' "About an hour and a half later I received another call which in essence said I got your resume, I've read it and a couple of the other commissioners have read it and we definitely want to talk to you. We need some help, an inter- im manager so when can you come down? We talked back and forth, as to when was I available and more importantly when would the'board be available. Well, we met with the first sched- uled meeting of the board in July, the 12th I believe. That morning I went in as part of their regular meeting and I was asked to speak. They seemed to be immediately inclined to listen for more. And then it didn't take them very long to decide that they wanted to hire me as an interim asking when could I start to work. This was on a Tuesday morning. I told them I See Manager Page 1 Submitted to INI Glades County Manager Wendell H. Taylor came on board just eight months ago and has played a vital role in helping the county overcome some major obstacles. 500 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, March 16, 2006 Obituaries Engagement Marta Baez Marta Baez was born in Artemisa, Cuba Feb. 24, 1931 and married Israel Baez, Sr. March 27, 1951. In October of 1963, the bold couple made a very risky decision to escape out of communist Cuba with her two sons, Israel Jr. and Juan, as well as her brother, Joaquin Alvarez and other family mem- bers and friends. They arrived safely in Texas where they resided for four months before moving to Belle Glade in 1964. During the 42 years she lived in Belle Glade, she was not just a great mother and a great wife, but she was also an ambassador for Belle Glade, telling friends and family members how much she loved this town. Marta acquired two daugh- ters when Israel and Cindy (Hen- ley) were married in 1975 and when Juan and Ana (Gomez) were married in 1979. In 1981, she became a grandmother with the birth of Israel III (Boo) and Carla Ceellia. Her third grand- child, Jay, was born in 1984 and in 1985, she enjoyed the arrival of her fourth grandchild, Pre- ston. Through the years, Marta enjoyed watching her grandchil- dren become young adults. On Feb. 25, 2006, after fighting res- piratory problems for several years, Marta embarked on another adventure in life, leaving her family, friends, and Belle Glade and moved to be with the Lord where she is resting and not suffering. She will be missed. Arrangements by Glades Funeral Chapel Belle Glade.

Drinking milk can help com- bat childhood obesity. The new' USDA dietary guide-. lines recommend three services of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods each day. A glass of low fat milk at each meal can help your child be healthlier Milk contains calcium- neces- saq' for building strong bones and teeth. It also contains protein. Studies have sho'\ that kids who drink three, eight ounce glass- es of milk a day may be less at risk for health problems such as obesity and Thpe 2 diabetes. Thetheory is that the protein and fat in the milk help stabilize the blood sugar. \\'hat idnd of milk should you serve? Ask your child's pediatrician. Which type of milk is right foryour child depends on his or her nutri- tional needs. When my son was very young, the doctor advised me to give him whole milk because he needed the calories. Now he's 7- years-old, the doctor suggested he drink low-fat milk. At my house, "chocolate" milk means Ovaltine. I like the idea of adding vitamins instead of just adding chocolate fla- voring. Juice is also "healthy" choice, but juice contains a lot of natural sugar. There's a reason "juice" glasses are small. One four ounce glass of juice a day should be the Healthier Life / with Katrina Elsken limit. Children who drink too much juice have a greater risk of becom- ing overweight. Children who drink more than one glass of juice a day rnay tbe consuming more calo- ries than their parentsiL realize 'The kids may also fill up on juice and not eat other health\ foods. Nutrifionists advise that sugared 'drinks, such as colas, should be limited. These beverages are high in calories and contain no vitamins, minerals or protein. They are "empty" calories. Instead of sodas, encourage children to drink water between meals. Before making any change in your diet or exercise plan, consult your doctor. This is especially important if you are on any pre- scription medications. Some drugs interact badly with foods that would otherwise be considered, healthy.

Comments will be published in the newspaper as space permits. The Devil made me do it; yeah right By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church I read about a man who was suing a hospital. A doctor had per- formed staple surgery on his stom- ach to help him lose weight. A cou- ple of days after his operation, he raided the hospital refrigerator and stuffed himself with everything he could find.. This tore open the sta- ples and forced another surgery. He was suing the hospital for having a refrigerator near his room. He claimed the temptation was too great and that his complications were not his, but the hospital's fault! Since the Garden of Eden, humans have made it a regular practice to pass the buck. Do you remember Adam and Eve? God asks what's going on, Adam responds by admitting that he ate the forbidden fruit, but it wasn't his fault. "The woman You gave me, she made me eat that fruit." Is Eve responsible? Not according to her! Eve's response is, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." "It's his fault. It's her fault. It's their fault." "It's not my fault. The devil made me do it." Since the beginning of time our first instincts have been to blame others for our own failures. Instead of accepting responsibility, we claim we are vic- tims. There is truth .in the statement that each of us is either a part of the problem or a part of the solution to everything we confront. We can choose to blame all of our prob- lems on someone else and become a part of these problems, or we. can take responsibility for our lives and seek to fulfill the pur- pose for which God created us and become part of the solution. Having problems with a rela- tionship? It will go much better if we accept responsibility for our part of the relationship, admit our mistakes and do what we can to make it better. If things are not going ;well at work, why not try changing the things we can and* focus on doing the best job we can? Chances are that even if things at work don't get better, our out- look will. If we are not satisfied with what is happening in our church, rather than just complaining, we can do our part to make things bet- ter- by taking an active part in the ministry and making sure we say only things which will go to strengthen our life together as a congregation. When we become part of the solution, God becomes much more visible in our life and in our hearts. We are now in the season of Lent, that period of the church year that calls us to a time of self-exami- nation as we approach Easter. God invites each of us to daily take stock of our lives and right our wrongs - not only to Him, but also to those we have hurt or have disagree- ments with. The challenge is to seek to find ways we can become a part of the solution to as many of the human problems we encounter directly or indirectly as we can. The devil may have made us do it, but thank God we have a way out of it. When we look in a mirror, we see the person w\ho holds the solutions to the most of the prob- lems we face in life not as one lone superman or superwoman, but as God's child with His Spirit in us; who can love, forgive, care, show mercy, and share joy! Recognizing Family Pioneer Farms Pet Corner Q: Dear Doc Savvy. Hello, my name is Jeanette Relloux. I have a very recent change in employ- ment, which takes me away on a very regular basis. I am a per- sonal assistant to a CEO, who travels nearly every weekend. In accepting this new position, I negotiated an understanding that my two Yorkies Bongo and Congo get to go where I go. They- come to work with me everyday, and now that is going to mean planes, and hotels pret- ty much every weekend. What do I need to prepare for them with travel? I'll guess I will have to pack for them too? Should I sedate them? Do they need spe-. cial travel documents? All this travel will be with private and corporate jets. I will be able to have them in carriers with me on the plane at all times. Thank you! I know you bring your dogs to work with you, and maybe a bit of traveling too? I'thought you would have some good advice for me. Jeanette. A: Hello Jeanette, sounds like you have a wonderful exciting new position congrats! Okay, let's take your questions step by step. Yes, you will, have to pack them a suitcase! Doc Savvy Bring toys, blankets, food dishes, food, and treats, which will keep them right at home. It is important to be consistent with the type of food they eat. This.will avoid diarrhea, which is associated with a change of diet. Consistency will help them to get used to the travel lifestyle too: Look how great Ihis is, they have you 24/7, they have each other, and they will have all the stuff they are used to having at home. I think they will acclimate right away. Oh and make sure you have any medications, heartworm prevention, flea medications, bathing and grooming products too. Choose an airline-approved kennel for them to travel in. Make sure it is cozy for them too. Write clearly with a permanent marker: -Your name, their names, address, and phone numbers. This way you will be properly identifying their ken- nels. Now, the plane part. Seda- tives may be a good thing at, first. This will help them be okay with the sights and sounds of being on a plane. Talk to your veteri- narian about Acepromazine. This will be a good choice of sedative to give Bongo and Congo about one hour before you board the plane. This way when the pill wears off, they will be okay with being on a plane. I would try this for the first 2-3 times getting them on a plane, then see how they do without it. In no time you will see they will' be real pros! Travel documents or, health certificates is mandatory for air travel with a pet. All commercial and private airlines require this, especially for international trav- el. It is a document, which is filled out and signed by a feder- ally accredited veterinarian. Not all veterinarians are accredited. It is a test or series of tests, which vets have to pass in order to write health certificates. My health certificates are standard forms from the USDA, and are -good for 30 days domestic trav- el. Sounds like you will have to get a new one about every 3-4 weeks. As long as Bongo and Congo are current on their vaccina- tions, are tested negative for internal and external parasites, are on heartworm and flea pre- vention, have a current rabies tag, and are free of any obvious disease, they can get health cer- tificates. Oh yes and very impor- tant -too Jeanette, get them microchips for :identification. This will help identify them in case they are lost. Make sure too they have their leashes and col- lars with their tags on! Keep in mind that you may .travel to a cooler destination at times, so they mayneed a new wardrobe and accessories! That's the fun part! Okay Jeanette! I hope that helps. Good luck, and bon voy- age to you, Bongo and Congo! Take care, Doc Savvy.

D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston I remember my father asking me when I was growing up and wanted something, "How are you going to , pay for it?" He asked it about a radio trans- mitter when ,l had my first amateur radio '" license at age 13, about wanting a car, about wanting Samuel S. to go to Thomas school. He taught me to plan ahead, to think about what was going to be the implication of my actions today and how it would affect tomorrow. Of course there were always unexpected expenses or setbacks, but they might be con- sidered .along the way. When I ran out of money and scholar- ships, I went to work and saved money until I had enough to return to school. When I had an unexpected car accident, I pur- chased another car and added savings to offset the difference in price between my old one and new one. I like to plan ahead, consider any contingencies that come up and take them into account as best as I can. Jesus was talking to a crowd and says, "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and esti- mate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? (Luke 14:28)." He also speaks of a king who is about to go to war against another king (v.31ff) and asks if he won't first sit down and con- sider whether he is able to win - otherwise send a delegation while the other is a long way off and ask for terms of peace. -There is planning involved and there are contingencies to be adding in, the down payment, considered. Jesus. speaks' of looking at the depreciation on his these things in relation to being a old car over the next two years disciple -you have to count the and when we got done, he was cost and knowv that there will be shocked. a cost, then be willing to pay the The new car was going to cost cost.

Florida Press Asso adtoen Water under the bridge: A book review By Barbara Oehlbeck It had been a long day for the two octogenarians who sat doz-. ing in the little blind they had concocted earlier in the day. They'd missed their daily naps, which both had become accus- tomed to something neces- sary in the last several years. With age had come the desire to slow down and rest more fre- quently. In three months they'd both be 90 years old. This day would be one of their last hunting together. Over the last decade hunting days had become farther and fewer between, but today had been special, not intentionally. The two men had intended to go deer hunting. However, today it felt right to talk about their pasts and trusting their feelings was some- thing both men believed in. This day had:turned out to be a trip on the water under the bridge. Both men had fallen asleep as they sat leaning against the tree in their, makeshift blind. They were, after all, getting that much needed afternoon nap. Lonnie waked as a light breeze rustled a nearby oak; a cascade of acorns hit the ground. "Puss," he called low as he woke with a start.. Gazing about him, he quickly realized that he was not snuggled next to the wife he had been dreaming of. It had been a nice dream of Juanita, when they were both young and full of passion. Her long dark hair had been spread against the white pillow sham and in the dream her sweet smell was strong. He'd come to calling her "Puss," as a nickname sugges- tive of her cat-like ways, gentle and affectionate, but protective and ready to pounce on anyone who threatened her loved ones. Lonnie grinned as he glanced over at Clarence still leaning against the tree, snoring lightly. "Hey, yuh old fella!" He laughed and jabbed him with his elbow, "Wake up!" . "What...what?" Clarence woke with a start. "What's goin' on here?" Clarence's hand set- tled on the rifle by his side, the feeling of the cold steel jerked him to reality. He too had been dreaming, but not of women. "We musta fell 'sleep," he said matter of factly as he yawned and stretched. "Yuh know ol' friend, we're getting' old," Lonnie laughed. "Getting'? Hell, I think we done bin old fer quite uh spell," retorted Clarence. Water Under The Bridge by Carol Overstreet is the sequel to her Gator Creek/ 2004. Here again, Carol writes about real places, real events and real people. Her characters come alive in the telling. "Well, I know I ain't never fell 'sleep 'fore when I bin huntin'." "Woods ain't uh good place tuh fall 'sleep," responded Clarence. "I know I never done it 'fore either, maybe we are getting' old." He laughed a little and nod- ded his head in final agreement with his old friend. Letting the sleep crawl slowly from their brains, the two men sat quietly taking in the spec- tacular view of red sky, a striking backdrop for the cranes taking flight gliding through the maze of cypress, out into the piney flatwoods and strands of palmet- tos and flags. In the red o' the evening all the colors of sur- rounding cypress ponds and flat- woods seemed muted, but rich. Tiger lilies in the distance blinked against the faded green flags. Shadows cast by the water oaks and cypress were enhanced by cascading Spanish moss dripping from their limbs. The breeze kicked up again, bringing with it a coolness, reminding the men that winter was on its way. Their fingers fumbled with their jackets to button them. "Day's done," said Clarence, a slight sadness in his voice. Lonnie grunted in agreement then added as he looked around him. "Sure is perdy out here." He reached his hand out to touch the bush next to him." This here swamp willow's 'bout thug color of Puss's eyes. They sure wuz perdy sure do miss her." "Been nearly two years, huh?" commented Clarence." She wuz uh good woman." "Only woman I ever loved...and I'm thuh only man she ever loved." "You wuz lucky," snickered Clarence." I bin in love with too many women." Clarence thought for a moment, then added, "Sure do wish I'd found Elsie thuh first go 'round." "Now, yuh know she would- n't put up with none uh what yer were a doin', Clarence. She'd either made yuh quite moon- shinin' or she'd uh left yuh. Yuh know she didn't never like it." Clarence agreed with Lonnie. For a fact, Elsie had let him know I right from the beginning that she wasn't going to have any part of any man who made moonshine. She'd known him for 30 years or more, and she had always liked him despite knowing what he did for a living. But she was not going to have any part of illegal doings. She abided by the law as she ran the Little Five and Dime in Dade City. Though having known her for many years, he'd never tried to develop a relationship beyond friendship with her. Many times he'd visited the Five and Dime, finding her busy with a customer or at the desk behind the count- er, working on papers. Often they'd speak but it was usually Elsie who initiated the conversa- tion. He knew she liked him, but unlike his forward approach with other women, Clarence backed off. There was some- thing about her that let him know she wasn't going to put up with anything shady. Water Under The Bridge by Carol Overstreet is the sequel to her Gator Creek/ 2004. Here again, Carol writes about real places, real events and real peo- ple. Her characters come alive.in the telling.

Shortly after 7:30 a.m. as the three men hunted on the Lykes Brothers Ranch, Drew Kenneth Rutherford, 38, of Big Pine Key heard a noise he believed to be a turkey and fired a Remington 12- .;.. r... p shotgunn its direction. The birdshot hit John William Holroyd, 39, of Big Pine Key in the right cheek, forehead, right hand and in the corner of his left e\ e. The injuries were not believed to be life threatening. The shot also hit Ter- rence Gar) Van Arkel, 65, a \\inter resident of Big Pine Key, \ ho \\as wearing several ladeis of thick clothing and w\as not seriously injured. The men %%ere about 200i feet awvay from Rutherford when he fired the shot. In the 2004-105 hunting season, -Lhere were eight hunting accidents statewide, including txo fatalities. F\WC hunter safety experts remind hunters of three tips 'i, keep them safe during turkey sea- son: Properly idenrlif your target. Don't shoot at a noise. Don't wear red, white and blue, the colors seen on a turkey.

Mrs. Valentine wrote much about the history of the people and places around Lake Okeechobee and about the lake itself. Together with Okeechobee's Betty Williamson, President of the Okeechobee Historical Society, she co-authored book, now inits sec- ond printing, "Strolling down CountryRoads in Okeechobee." .The following story came from an interview Mrs. Valentine had with Mrs. Marie Clements Box dated July1988. Marie Clements Box was the daughter of Adeline Raulerson and Clifford James Clements. Her Grandparents were Peter and Louisiana Raulerson. They were the first to settle in what would become Tantie and then Okee- chobee in 1896. Mrs. Box said he moved from Basinger for more grazing land for his cattle. "My grandmother. was very lonely. There was not another per- son around here at all. She used to go out and look down the road every day to see if she could see a little bit of dust. If she did, she knew someone was coming. They put up everybody that came here. There was no town at all. She was just so glad to have company, it did- n't matterwho it was. "My youngest uncle was the first white man born here, Connie Raulerson. When he was a little toddler, my grandmother put a bell on him because panthers were so plentiful they would run right through their yard and he had a habit of running out of the yard where she couldn't see him.(The Raulerson home was on the west side of what is now Parrott Avenue.) "I won't mention any names, but I remember my grandmother and Aunt Faith telling me about this. One night, way in the middle of the night, they heard their cattle. lowing and they knew something was wrong. My grandfather got Uncle Lewis and several of the- men, (they had a good idea of what was happening) and went out to where the cattle were. The cattle were all scattered. There were thieves after them. My grand- mother was so frightened that my grandfather would shoot some- one. But, they got away. This sort of thing happened all the time. "This man, who was doing the rustling, wanted everything around here. He was quite jealous of my grandfather and the cattle he had. He wanted them, too. He hired a man to kill my grandfather. Special to INI/www.amartin.com These horsemen are posed with the Raulerson homestead on what is now S. Parrott Avenue. Mrs. Box's. uncle, Connie Rauler- son (on left) was the first white man born in Okeechobee. "One night, at my grandparents' house, they heard their hogs squealing and my grandfather took a lantern out to see what was happening. There was a big black bear on top of a hog, eat- ing it alive! Black bears were very plentiful and so were panthers at that time." Twila Valentine "They were camped out in the woods and this man was in the camp. Later on; the man told my grandfather what had happened. My grandfather told him, 'We knew what you were there for and every eyewas onyou.' "The man told my grandfather, 'You have treated me so well, I just could not do it.' She recalls another story about the dangers of those early days: "One night, at my grandparents' house, they heard their hogs squealing and my grandfather took a lantern out to see what was hap- pening. There was a big black bear on top of a hog, eating it alive! Black bears were very plentiful and so were panthers at that time" Escaped reptilian pets to be curbed by law ALTAMONTE SPRINGS A proposed bill to regulate reptiles is a giant step toward protecting Florida's citizens and natural landscapes from the dangers of invasive, non-native animals. Rep. Ralph Poppell (R-Vero Beach) proposes to expand a current law regulating poison- ous snakes to regulating other potentially invasive reptiles. The change will help Florida battle the invasion of species, such as pythons, monitor lizards and iguanas, which is overtaking many neighborhoods and natu- ral areas as a result of accidental and intentional releases. Rep. Poppell's bill would allow the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion to establish a list of reptiles that would require a permit before they could be bought, dis- played, housed or transported, including in the pet trade: "We are supportive of this effort," said Doria Gordon, the Nature Conservancy's associate director of conservation science. "The Conservancy is concerned about the impacts these non- native species are having on Florida's plants, animals and habitats. We support approach- es that prevent non-native, inva- sive animals from being released into the wild, thus avoiding unwanted impacts and costly and cumbersome control pro- grams." Ms. Gordon said the regula- tions should also help land man- agers meet their conservation goals and save taxpayers money. "This is a great step in the larger challenge of providing agencies with improved invasive species management tools. I hope future legislation addresses similar issues we have with other non- native, invasive species," she said. When released, non-native species often take over a habitat. From a few released pets in Boca Grande in the 1970s, Mexican spiny-tail iguanas have increased in the last five years from 2,000 to 10,000 on Gasparilla Island, more than double the island's in- season human population. Lee County is considering an iguana removal tax, allowing control efforts to begin as early as this summer. The Nature Conservancy is a leading international, nonprofit organization that preserves plants, animals and natural com- munities representing the diver- sity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. By working through funding from the voter approved Florida Forever program and the generosity of our donors the Conservancy has helped protect more than 1.1 million acres in Florida since 1961.

March 16.2006 Urban stormwater pollution fund TALLAHASSEE The Florida Department of Environmental Pro- tection (DEP) recently awarded a total of $9.3 million to ten local gov- ernments and two universities to reduce urban stormwater pollution to Florida's priority impaired water- ways. These funds are part of the Water Quality Restoration Grant Program established by the Florida Legislature in 2005 through pas- sage of Senate Bill 444. "DEP is working with commu- nities throughout Florida to retrofit outdated drainage systems and improve stormwater treatment," said DEP Secretary Colleen M. Castille. "The funding made avail- able by the Water Quality Restora- tion Grant Program allows the Department to expand partner- ships with local governments, water management districts and other public entities to restore impaired (polluted) waters." Untreated urban runoff from older drainage systems is a primary cause of pollution to many of Flori- da's rivers, lakes and estuaries and the reason many of these surface waters have been determined to be impaired under the DEP's Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) pro- gram. The TMDL program estab- lishes the cause of impairment and works with local governments to develop and implement projects and programs to restore surface waters to healthy conditions. The Water Quality Restoration Grant Program promotes cost- effective construction projects to clean up waterways. Grants are awarded to local governments for projects that are ready to proceed, who provide matching funds and who have established a dedicated recurring funding source for stormwater management. Projects must be designed to reduce specif- ic pollutant loads, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which cause the water body's impairment. Once complete, projects are typically monitored after storm events to document their effectiveness in removing pollutants. "We are pleased that DEP has another pro- gram available to local govern- ments to clean up Florida's surface waters and preserve them for the future," said Mimi Drew, Director of DEP's Division of Water Resource Management Under the leadership of Gover- nor Bush and the Florida Legisla- ture, Florida has invested almost $2 billion to improve wastewater treatment, clean up stormwater pollution and upgrade drinking water facilities, funding more than 950 projects statewide since 1999.

WEST PALM BEACH The Department of Environmental Pro- tection (DEP) and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has released a compre- hensive update of environmental projects in South Florida. The 2006 South Florida Environmental Report provides a detailed summary of Ever- glades restoration efforts and updates on the progress of other environmen- tal programs in the Kissimmee Basin, Lake Okeechobee, estuaries and other coastal areas. "No other government has taken on a mission as large and as important as Everglades restora- tion," said DEP Secretary Colleen M. Castille. "The 2006 South Florida Environmental Report delivers a comprehensive snapshot of Flori- da's unprecedented success over the past year." The annual report documents the accomplishments of state and federal scientists, engineers, plan- ners and program managers who are restoring the Everglades by reducing pollution and better man- aging the flow of water, while meeting the State's flood control and water supply responsibilities. Consolidating information com- piled from more than 50 separate reports, the 2006 South Florida Environmental Report covers "water year 2005" (May 1, 2004 thru April 30,2005). The report pro- vides extensive research sum- maries, data analyses, financial updates and.a searchable database of environmental projects. Highlights of the 2006 South Flori- daEnvironmental Report include: Stormwater Treatment Areas- (STAs) which have treated almost 1.5 million acre-feet of water and prevented 189 metric tons of phos- phorus from reaching the Ever- glades in water year 2005 alone. Best Management Practices (BMPs) recorded its tenth consecu- five year of outstanding results in reducing phosphorus inputs.. The BMP program achieved a 59-per- cent phosphorus load reduction in the Everglades Agricultural Area this year, more than doubling the 25 percent required by law. To date, STAs and BMPs com- bined have prevented more than 2,178 metric tons of phosphorus from entering America's Everglades.. In October 2004, Governor Jeb Bush unveiled Acceler8 a plan to accelerate the restoration of eight key environmental projects to be completed 10 years ahead of schedule. The millionth acre of melaleu- ca, an invasive exotic plant species, was cleared from the Comprehen- sive Everglades Restoration Project (CERP) area in wateryear 2005. To date, more than 210,000 acres of land have been acquired for use in CERP. "The 2006 South Florida Envi- ronmental Report is one of our agency's most impressive annual documents," said Carol Wehle, Executive Director of the SFWMD. "It showcases the first-rate science, engineering and water resource management that are making South Florida's environmental restoration a reality." Under the leadership of Gover- nor Jeb Bush, Florida forged a 50- 50 State-federal partnership to implement the $8.4 billion Com- prehensive Everglades Restoration Plan and has invested $1.3 billion and committed an additional $3 bil- lion through the end of the decade to clean up and restore the famed River of Grass. The 2006 South Florida Environ- .mental Report, including a 52-page Executive summary, is available online at http://www.sfwmd.gov/ sfer/. DOUBLE YOUR INVESTMENT IN ONLY 1 YEAR! Builders Lots Available in the Fastest Growing Areas in Florida - WHOLESALE PRICIN Sorting out the Medicare drug program mess By Melissa Ross Critics say the program is too confusing and offers too. many choices. But insurers and politi- cians are urging the public, particu- larly senior citizens, to have faith in, Medicare's new prescription drug benefit program, which went into effect Jan. 1 of thisyear. All Medicare beneficiaries, not just seniors, are eligible for what's called, "Medicare Part D". Simply put, the new program is insurance for prescription drugs, and benefi- ciaries have 40 or more plans to choose from in Florida alone. Flori- da Medicare beneficiary Patricia Morris reflects the concerns of many seniors who have been. bombarding insurance companies with calls and e-mails, as they try to sort out their options. "Maybe I just didn't understand it but to me it was confusing. I need to figure out what the best plan is for me," she said. So what is the best plan? If you enroll in Part D, you pay a monthly premium, an annual deductible and a portion of each prescription. The incentive the Bush administration estimates Part D could cut prescription drug costs in half for most Medicare beneficiar- ies, and could eventually cover about 11-million low-income and disabled Americans. "This is protection for now and the future," says Susan Walker, Medicare Part D Team Leader for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Flori- da. "You never know when you're going to have that life-changing event that could require you to be on five or six drugs. Most seniors are on a fixed income and they're very savxy shoppers. They do their home ork. And they realize the benefits of purchasing PartD both for their piece of mind and the financial benefit." Walker says the insurance giant has seen a large volume of calls from seniors interested in the cov- erage to offset potential drug cost increases in the future. "We've had great response," she said, estimat- ing "tens of thousands of people across Florida have enrolled." It's important to note, Medicare beneficiaries have time to compare plans before they make a decision. Beneficiaries have until May 15 to enroll without paying higher pre- miums and are urged by govern- BERO aDNNGBO SUITES SUITES LI1VINGROOM ODDS SUITES -86ENDS Introducing Highkmdtat Wa/nut F Creek, a 58'1 i-icrse developments Just -6 minutei4 m Ahe-bilfr. \\'ere fitnesso~ wrails and natural grcenspaces cc.-nntct ne-ghborhoceds with a clubhouie wirh gymn/ipa ftaciliri.

"Our job right now is to let peo- ple know there's help out there for them. This is a really important benefit and it's worth the time they need to take to learn it," says Cheryl Matheis of the American Association for Retired Persons., Some other important tips: Insurers, advise keeping a list of the name, dosage and cost of your prescriptions. Since differ- ent-Part D plans cover.dillerent drugs, this will help you compare plans and choose the right one to meet your needs. Also, enrollees in Medicare Advantage HMO and/or PPO plans may not have to do anything to receive Part D drug coverage in 2006. For example, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Medicare Advantage plans automatically pro- vide Part D coverage to enrollees. And people on a fixed income may qualify for assistance in cover- ing the costs of premiums and co- pays.

The March 1 deadline for dues has been extended to March 31 after technical difficulties the Manager Continued From Page 10 had my stuff in the truck and I needed to find a place to stay. I'd made a couple telephone calls ahead of time and had an idea where I could stay, so I said if every- thing went %well in the afternoon I could start the next morning, which is what I did. I was hired as of eight o'clock Wednesday morn- ing, July 131h. "I w ent in the next morning and worked through the end of July. I didn't realize when I came here that the board was seeking a coun- ty manager. So I worked for a cou- ple weeks and they' asked if I %was going to apply for the position. I said I hadn't decided yet, that I wanted to look around and see how it was going with the employ- ees, I wanted to know a little bit about this community, and I want- ed to know about commissioners and their attitudes and what.did it appear that they wanted for Glades County. "I felt positive about the feed- back I was getting from all the; areas, so on the last day I submitted my resume. I put it in saying I reserved the right to reach in and pluck it out if I decided to at a later point." Mr. Taylor said the board met the first day meeting in August and it didn't take them long to figure out what they wanted to do. A number of applications had been submitted, of course they read all of them, and then one commis- sioner said, "I've read all of 'em, then I read Mr. Taylor's and I see what he's done. As far as I'm con- cerned, he's the man for the job." Another board member said, "I was gonna make the motion but seeing you've done that, I second." "And so very quickly I was hired, we agreed upon a salary, in other words they offered and I accepted. I don't like to hassle teach his students the realm of school-pride music, but to create young musicians. As a small school, Moore Haven includes seventh and eighth grade students into their high school pro- -grams, given the challenge to someone like Mr. Rawlings of cre- ating a cohesive program of extreme beginners and what could be termed veteran band members loss of a computer in the EDC office and the breakdown of a copier in the Extension Office which the EDC shares delayed the distribution of letters and appli- cations to businesses not already members of the Economic Devel- opment Council. "We want to thank staff at the Glades County property apprais- er's office for assisting us in print- ing mailing labels from the occupa- tional list, and Glades County School Board secretary Lisa Ran- dolph for copying the letters and applications.for uswhen the copier went downi" EDC director and part time Main Street Moore Haven pro- gram manager Tracy Whirls said. "While being such a small com- munity and county sometimes has its draw backs, in that everybody wears multiple hats and the same folks are tapped to support every about money. They. need to set salaries, I don't do that. They sim- ply removed interim from the name because there is no perma- nent county manager. There is no such thing as that. The average 'life span' ofa county manager is about a year and a half. It's absolutely' essential that the Board of County Commissioner and the county manager work together. They make the decisions and they set the policies; the county manager car- ries out those decisions and poli- cies. I don't try to make those deci- sions. When they express their wishes to me in the form, of a motion or direction from the board, I take it and run with it." Wendell Taylor added, "Since I've been here I've worked real hard doing a lot of things. I've brought a lot of experience to the task. I love this county. If I had not loved this county I would have done the interim job, let them find somebody and I would have gone on. The county is rural...agricultur- al...cattle, sugar cane and citrus. I have a degree from the University of Florida in animal science...ranch management is the. old term. I do understand a lot that's going on. I know what these guys are trying to do out there. It's very difficult...it's done a little different than what I've been used to in North Florida, the science is a little different. "I enjoy the county, I enjoy working with these commission- ers. I have the feeling that these commissioners, in the past, have felt that Glades County could have moved a little faster and they want- ed to move a little faster into the future of the 21 st century. I felt that I would be able to work with them as a team, carrying out their wish- es, being able to discuss issues and that we could make that happen. So far I feel as though we're doing that. I was told there were certain things I couldn't do, they've been tried before and it didn't work. Well, we've overcome some of those and obviously there are who hold upper classmen status. While the word is now getting out about the Terrier Band, more community support is needed, according to Mrs. Hill. "We need more community support," she said. "Everyone from the community, to the school board, to the school is extremely supportive of this program. But it's very expensive to maintain. The worthwhile endeavor, it's nice to know that when you run into prob- lems, all you have to do is pick up the phone and someone will help you. out. They have to pay for that kind of assistance in the city!" Once the membership drive ends in March, the first annual Main Street Moore Haven mem- bership dinner will be scheduled in April, to recruit committee mem- bers and elect an inaugural board of directors. The dinner date/loca- tion will be announced later. In other Main Street related news: Moore Haven's $10,000 "start up" grant application will be reviewed by the state historic preservation ad hoc grant review committee March 27. The city of Moore Haven is cur- rently advertising for qualifications from planning consultants to assist some issues I can't get into but I don't mind giving it the old try, giv- ing it my best effort. Maybe the approach wasn't right, maybe they didn't understand, maybe the background and understanding to get the job done wasn't there. The board's reaction to me so far in Ihe way we've worked together as a team, I feel I am very much sup- ported by the entire board. They've been very, very helpful. I try never to surprise the commissioners. "I can sit do%\n and talk to each member in my office and we talk about a range of issues that they' bring up and I bring up. And when I see there is support for certain things Il go through with that. When I see there's not support then I look to see what's behind that and so we can work with that issue, too. : "My goal is to try to make. this board look as good as I can possi- bl, make them look...they deserve that. The citizens of this communi- ty voted them into office and that's what they're looking for and I'm going to help them in that endeav- or. "I have really enjoyed these eight months. We've done a lot of things that were difficult, we are doing things that are difficult like getting through the storm, how do we survive and get through and" recouping from that. We've been working with FEMA since- that time, to see what funds are avail- able and understanding FEMA rules. And we've not finished that process because it takes a long time, but.you've gotta- keep work- ing. "I wrote a personnel policy manual. This county had an anti- quated one when I got here and I was told you couldn't do that. There was one here that talked about a 35-hour workweek and things like that. Well, I started in on that." From that point Mr. Taylor took a manual he'd written for a county before coming to Glades County, dry cleaning bill alone for these uniforms would shock you. We hope to varnish more community support for this program. The boosters work very hard and we'd welcome anyone to our meetings who want to help us out." The March 14 performance is a fundraiser for the band and ticket prices will run $10. Members of Dallas Brass will be at the school with needed amendments to the city's comprehensive plan and land development regulations to support the revitalization effort. "Once we meet with Mr. Ham, we can begin to finalize an action plan and determine what kind of grant funding we need to pursue," Ms. Whirls said. "This might range from historic preservation acquisi- tion and development grants to purchase and rehab some building' or buildings, working with the Florida Department of Transporta- tion to secure enhancement fund- ing for sidewalks, street-scaping and other improvements down- town, or soliciting USDA or Eco- nomic Development Administra- tion funding for additional dockage along the seawall downtown." In addition to seeking funding for "big ticket" projects, Main Street Moore Haven will also be seeking *took the old one from Glades and another from a county nearby and worked them together, along %withi information from a committee that had been working on a manual for a long, long time. Over a period of several weeks he worked on the policy manual, then called a meet- ing saying, "We're gonna sit down this morning and go through this page by page. We'll make changes, and we're gonna finalize this thing. When we walk out today, you've got 48 hours to look at anything that we might w1ani to talk about, possible changes or wvhatet er But these have to be back in to me in the day of the concert to work with all sectionals of the high school band. The band will hold a regular practice, work closely with Dallas Brass, and then hold an after school practice with Dallas Brass in preparation for the night's per- formance. Ticket information will be released soon. In the meantime, more information can be obtained grant funding for the installation of historic plaques, describing each of the remaining commercial build- ings in the historic district on the National Register, to devise a brochure and map of the historic district for a walking tour and other projects. "That's why the membership drive is so important," Ms. Whirls said. "It's.-less about the money, although we will need money to match grants, install signage and promote the area, than it is about securing the support of a group of individuals willing to assist in organization, economic restructur- ing, promotion and other activities. "Securing the designation as a new Florida Main Street last August was just the first step. Now the real work begins!". Ms. W\hirls said shortK after the annual dinner, she hopes to sched- 48 hours after we leave here. We're gonna give it our very best today, then we still have 48 more hours. I'm gonna finalize it, it's going to the board in September. There'll be a workshop on it and at the end of the month you'll vote it up or dow alter %we've had the workshop." That's exactly what was done. The board look it, adopted it and now employees have a document that says this is w hat I can demand from the s,,stem and it also tells them what the system demands of them. It's all in agreement with Fedtial Fair Labor standards and . laws.. from Mr. Rawlings on the details of ticket sales, at the high school.

Mr. Taylor further explained, "After this was done, I met with groups of employees in several ses- sions. I took the book, gave each a copy and walked them through it cover to cover.

March 16, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Dairies reduce phosphorus in runoff By Audrey Blackwell OKEECHOBEE Four area dairy farms are making progress on reducing the amount of phosphorus from their opera- tions as a result of practices initi- ated through .the Best Available Technologies (BAT) project of South Florida Water Manage- ment District (SFWMD). A dozen water-related agency people and area dairymen attended a BAT meeting on Wednesday, March 8, at the SFWMD's Service Center at 205 N. Parrott Ave. Representatives of SFWMD, Florida Department of Agricul- ture and Consumer Services, Florida Department of Environ- mental Protection, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Natural Resources Conservation Ser- vices; and local dairymen Randy and Doug Burnham attended. Del Bottcher, president of Soil and Water Engineering Technol- ogy, Inc., updated the group on the progress of the BAT project his firm has been leading since 2001.-The goal is to reduce the export of phosphorus from four dairy operations into Lake Okee- chobee. There are 20 dairy operations in Okeechobee County, and those dairies that are not part of the BAT project are engaged in other practices to help reduce the loss of phosphorus from their farms. They are involved with an Agriculture Nutrient Management Plan to help their operation become nutrient bal- anced and get a handle on their imports and exports of phos- phorus. The four BAT dairy farms are Butler Oaks, Davie, Dry Lake and Milking R. Even though Dry Lake Dairy was sold recently, the BAT system is still in operation because residual phosphorus remains on the land and when it rains, it can leach out of the soil. Each of the four dairies has a different technology system in place for moving and treating the water. Such systems usually involve a pump that moves water to a retention pond, a floc-. culation pond, chemical injec- tion and large drying beds. According to Gary Ritter, an engineer with SFWMD, the origi- nal goal for dairy operations was to meet a goal of 1,200 ppb (parts per billion) for phospho- rus export. Many were above that before the Lake Okee- chobee Protection Act was passed in 2003. "We said we would do better and bring the dairies below that, and each of the four has achieved that. With the systems, SFWMD speeds i.d. of algae they are all down around 200 ppb," he said. The four dairies involved in the BAT project are actual work- ing dairies that can serve as models for other dairy farmers in the future, especially as SFWMD works toward maintain- ing phosphorus levels at a total maximum daily load (TMDL) of 140 metric tons. Currently, the lake averages 500 to 600 tons of phosphorus. SFWMD has targeted reaching the desired TMDL by the year 2015. Dairy farm runoff represents only a portion of what contributes to phosphorus in the lake. According to Mr. Ritter, the district will do a cost analysis of the BAT project for funding. They will look at what it costs to install and maintain a net tech- nology system and compute the cost per the amount of phospho- rus removed. "We want to make sure oper- ating the technology is cost effective," he said. Share your opinion on a free forum at www.newszapforuns.com. F WE CAN HELP REBUILD YOUR CREDIT! " Guaranteed financing with as little as $2,000 down... sometimes less! y Coast Financial Group : With names like Spirogyra, Mastogloia and Schizothrix these common types of algae sound more like gourmet pasta dishes than slimy pond scum that grows on rocks or other, plants in the Everglades ecosys- tem. However, this pond scum - or periphytic algae have a very critical and beneficial func- tion: they are a natural link in the food chain, consumed by small invertebrates and fish and, are sensitive indicators of environ- mental change in wetland sys- tems. Periphyton are the first and fastest biological indicators to respond to changes t6 water quality conditions in the Ever- glades ecosystem. By monitoring and studying periphyton, scientists can pro- vide data needed to evaluate the progress and success of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) under the' Restoration, Coordination and Verification (RECOVER) Program. To obtain monitoring results sooner and. quantify complex periphyton dynamics and water quality interactions, the South Florida Water Manage- ment District (SFWMD) and Florida Atlantic Uni\'ersitv (FAU) scientists are implementing - for the first time a faster way of monitoring periphyton Today, the SFWMD Governing Board authorized a three-year cooperative agreement with FAU for monitoring Everglades peri- phyton using chemotaxomon.i technology, a rapid-assessment monitoring method The $240,000 agreement uses a. well-established method knov.n as chemotazLxonom% to quantirv periphylon abundance and composition of different types of algae based on diagnos- tic pigments. Samples can be analyzed faster than traditional .methods, such as chlorophyll .a or taxonomy. The current method of moni- toring can take between six to 18 months to complete, \ while this rapid screening method reports results in two to four weeks,-said District project manager 'and environmental scientist Scot Hagerthey, Ph.D. Because periphyton respond rapidly to changes in water chemistry, this method will allow more rapid identification of areas that may be undergoing changes due to CERP influences that may otherwise be missed by traditional sampling meth- ods. More than 480 samples will be collected each year from sites throughout the Everglades region starting April 2006. The chemotaxomonic assessment of these samples will be reported in the.context of their relation- ships ,to other key RECOVER projects, in the Annual Systems Status Report.
