Lakeport fire burns 300 acres


By Katrina Elsken
INI Florida
LAKEPORT Glades County
firefighters battled a brush fire near
Lakeport for most of last week.
According to Glades County
EMS Lt. Lisa Knight, the fire appar-
ently started Sunday night, May 28.
She said the cause of the fire is
unknown, but some officials sus-
pect the dry brush may have been
ignited by a lightning strike.
The blaze burned approximate-
ly 300 acres including dry lake bot-
tom in the Curry Island area.


"Everything is so dry, it takes very little to start
a fire."
Lt. Knight,
volunteer firefighter


Smoke from the fire impeded
traffic on State Road 78. Glades
County Sheriff's Office and Glades
County EMS officials were sta-
tioned on State Road 78 to warn
drivers of the danger.
The effort taken to warn the
public apparently paid off, as no


traffic accidents were reported
despite the poor visibility due to
the smoke.
Firefighters from the Lakeport
Fire Department, Moore Haven
Fire Department and Buckhead
Ridge Fire Department worked for
days to control the blaze.


River Rally: Moore Haven hosts motorcycle rally

,, ,. Special to Ihe Glades County Democrai/Tracy Whirls
Glades County Sheriff's Deputy David Hardin, right, led a group of 34 bikers on a guid-
ed poker run in the wilds of Glades County Saturday during the second annual River
Rally. The poker run, which benefited the Glades County Volunteer Fire Department,
was won by Diane Davis with four queens.


By 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 1,
the fire was out.
Lt. Knight said all of Glades
County is still under a "no burn"
order due to the dry conditions and
potential fire hazards. She said resi-
dents should not burn trash oryard
waste, or start camp fires, due to
the danger that any fire may spread
to dry brush burn out of control.
In addition, residents are
reminded to take fire safety pre-
cautions, such as
Do not throw cigarettes out
of vehicle windows.
Do not park hot vehicles on


or near dry grass.
Do riot throw glass bottles
out onto the roadside the glass
can act as a magnifying lens and
start a fire.
"Everything is so dry, it takes
very little to start a fire," said Lt.
Knight, who is also a volunteer
firefighter. She added that fires
from lightning strikes are common
this time of year, because the vege-
tation is so dry.
"The rain we've received the
last few days is helping but we're
still not out of the woods yet," she
said.

County Sheriff's Office
(.GCSO. "Untoitunatel., at
the state level this is only a
minor felony."
Detecti e Harris said"when

Veterans' sacrifices


are not forgotten


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Glades County Democrat
The day has come and
gone, the annual observance
of our country's memorial
services in honor of those who
gave their lives, others who
gave their limbs and still others
who suffer life-long mental
agonies. And not to be forgot-
ten are those mothers and
fathers, wives and husbands
and other kin who must fight
to survive alone without those
they love.
It seems as though each
year the numbers who remem-


ber, who attend these services
dwindles. For instance, at the
Ortona Cemetery last week, it
can hardly be said there was a
crowd. However, this did not
detract from the solemnity of
the occasion for those' who
were there.
The Master of Ceremonies
was Commander Burch Jones,
American Legion Post 299,
Moore Haven.
The invocation was by the
Rev. Earl Cline, Pastor, Palm-
dale Baptist Church, who said,
"This nation can never repay

Hurricane training'
On Wednesday, 12 students attended a four hour Red Cross workshop. Students learned
how to perform puppet shows on fire prevention, run carnival games about water safety
and other activities to help campers learn about hurricanes. They also learned what it
means to be a leader and the many ways the Red Cross saves lives. The students will be
using all these skills during this year's summer camp. Students are pictured with Instruc-
tors Jessica Ports and Danielle Bowman. Also pictured are: Branch Manager Leslie
Pittman and her assistant, Genove Canales.


CREW volunteers make a difference


CREW, Inc volunteers and staff
worked diligently repairing door-
ways, walls, roofs, ceilings while
the rest of us enjoyed our holiday
weekend. A CREW from a Lake-
land Methodist Church worked in
Ortona, Buckhead Ridge and
Clewiston all weekend. In addition,
over 80 recliner chairs as well as
other furniture that was donated
made it to homes who had furni-
ture destroyed in the hurricane.
Executive Director, Trish
Adams, LCSW stated "I know resi-
dents are anxious to have repairs
done and are worried about
upcoming storms as we prepare
for a new hurricane season" how-
ever she cautions clients to realize


that CREW is a "long term recovery
organization". "It may takes years
to meet the needs of all 611 open
cases with the limited donation,
volunteers and grant money that
CREW currently has. We have suc-
cessfully closed due to completely
meeting hurricane related needs or
successfully referring to other
appropriate organizations 51
clients since inception in January."
First United Methodist Church
members, the Clewiston Bakery
and Deli and Common Grounds
Coffee Shop all volunteered to
make meals that CREW employ-
ees delivered to the various volun-
teer groups this past weekend.
They have two more CREWs com-


ing in June and possible three in
July. Renee Mergott, Volunteer
Coordinator, relates that "We will
need homes (or places for them to
sleep and shower) and volunteers
to provide meals to the CREWs
coming". Trish Adams adds that
"As always, donation of supplies,
including ladders, tools, drywall,
roofing material, paneling, wood,.
screws, paint, etc. are always need-
ed. Good, clean mattresses are also
a welcome and needed donation."
CREW has been building
momentum and with the recent
hiring of Case Management Super-
visor, Akiva Johnson and Volunteer
Coordinator they have been able to
recruit and organize for volunteers


better. However, come July their
staff will be significantly reduced as
they loose funding for many of
their case managers employed
through a partnership with United
Way and Workforce Development.
They are also hoping to secure
funding for a construction coordi-
nator, who can oversee projects
and complete projects as well.
Trish Adams encourages "resi-
dents of Hendry and Glades coun-
ties to help by adequately prepar-.
ing for the upcoming hurricane
season as well as helping out their
neighbors in the process of recov-'
ery."

YOUR BRIDAL HEADQUARTERS!


By MaryAnn Morris
INI Florida
When it comes to water, it
seems that the first thought is
drainage ditches: dig a ditch,
clean a ditch or culvert, "How
deep will the mud be after all that
rain last night?" But, there is a flip
side. Winter the dry season.
The weather cools, it rarely rains,
as the humidity drops we breathe
a sign of relief. But as more and
more people move to Florida, the
same amount of water has further
and further to go around. Every-
body wants water. The further it
has to go, the shallower it gets but
nothing makes more rain.
South Florida does.not have a
continuous source of fresh water
except rain. As more land is built
up, more people move in, more
clothes and dishes to wash, to
drive to work on roads, to work in
new offices, shop in stores. Not
only that, but because rain runs
off roofs and pavement. With
fewer places to keep it, more rain
drains into lakes and canals that
lead to the ocean, rather than
soaking back into the ground.
Florida has to plan its water
supply because, unlike some
other areas of the country, South
Florida does not have, for all prac-
tical purposes, a continuous
source of fresh water except the
rain that falls. As more land is built
on, more water is needed
because more rain runs off roofs
and pavement, to canals that lead
to the ocean, rather than soaking
back into the ground.
Rainfall feeds the aquifers
(underground water) that supply
close to 90 percent of South and
Central Florida's water and rain
can be scarcest when demand is
highest (because it isn't raining),
then communities have water
restrictions.
But there are areas that share a
water flow from lake to lake or
river to lake, etc., so in the 1970s,
the state set up "districts" where
water flow is common. These dis-
tricts are called water manage-
ment districts. Water manage-
ment districts decide how much
water to drain off to the ocean
and how much water to save for
later use. There are five such dis-
tricts. Okeechobee County is pri-
marily in the South Florida Water


Management District (SFWMD),
which is divided into four water
supply planning regions: Kissim-
mee Basin, Upper East Coast,
Lower East Coast and Lower
West Coast. Each region's water
supply plan is based on at least
20-year future planning and fol-
lows Subsection 373.0361(1) of
the Florida Statutes.
Keeping clean
water flowing
SFWMD issues permits for pri-
vate, city or county water plants to
pump a certain amount of water
from the ground or lakes to treat
and deliver (for a price), to the
homes and businesses they serve.
(They know how much will be
needed, so they know how much
can be allowed to drain into the
ocean.) The water plants, in turn,
are overseen by the state's
Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP).
The DEP protects the quality of
Florida's drinking water, its rivers,
lakes and wetlands. DEP estab-
lishes the basis for setting the
standards, of purity for the state's
surface water and ground water
and monitors to be sure the quali-
ty stays okay.
DEP also handles the permit
and enforcement programs for
our drinking water, waste water
(sewer), septic tanks, wells and a
myriad of activities in wetlands
and other surface waters. This
agency also provides money to
build or improve domestic waste-
water and drinking water facili-
ties, to reclaim mined lands, and
to implement stormwater man-
agement and manage other
sources of water, like reclaimed
water for irrigation.
SFWMD plans for
sufficient water
SFWMD is divided into four
major water supply planning
regions Kissimmee Basin (North
and South), Upper East Coast,
Lower East Coast and Lower
West Coast. Each regional water
supply plan is based on:
1. At least 20-year future plan-
ning and follows Subsection
373.0361(1) of the Florida
Statutes.
2. The impacts of future

demands on the water resources
that we have.
3. Water resource related natu-
ral systems like wetlands.
People in each of the four
regions have a say in SFWMD's
decisions through the Water
resource Advisory Committee
(WRAC) of SFWMD which acts as
liaison between SFWMD and
people of the district on the sub-
ject of water supply planning.
Since each of the four regions has
its own unique set of issues, the
committee is made up of a very
diverse group of people from
each of the four regions of
SFWMD. Anyone can go to a
WRAC meeting to listen or ask
questions.
Taking a look at each of our
district's four regions, it is easy to
see why they are so different.
Kissimmee
Basin Region
The Kissimmee Basin (KB),
roughly down along the Kissim-
mee River, was divided into north-
ern and southern areas to focus
on the issues unique to each.
North: Continued use of
ground water to support the large
projected population growth in
Orange and Osceola Counties is
the primary issue.
South: increased surface water
use in the Lake Istokpoga-Indian
Prairie Basin resulting from pro-
jected increased agriculture was
identified as the primary issue of
concern.
Upper East
Coast Area
The Upper East Coast Area
(UEC) includes all of Martin and
St. Lucie counties, and a small
portion of Okeechobee County.
The predominant land use has
been and will be agriculture. Cit-
rus occupies over four-fifths of the
irrigated agricultural acreage in
the region. Scattered among
these land uses are about 200,000
acres of upland forests and wet-
lands.
The area is projected to have
over a 50 percent increase in pop-
ulation from 2000 levels to almost
a half a million people. Agricul-
ture primarily citrus in the
western portion of the region is


projected to decrease slightly due
to current industry markets, and
pressure from developers, but in
addition to people's needs, there
are many coastal and inland envi-.
ronmental areas in this region
that depend on water to.exist.

Lower West
Coast Area
The Lower West Coast Plan-
ning Region is expected to have
an increased population of
almost 70 percent from 1995 lev-
els' by 2020, with most growth in
the coastal areas: This. means
increased demands for drinking
and irrigation water.
Likewise, agriculture primari-
ly citrus and sugarcane in the
eastern portion of the region is
projected to increase by 10 per-.
cent. In addition, there are many
coastal and inland environmental
resources within this area. Meet-
ing people's water needs and the
water needs of the environment
makes development of water sup-
ply strategies absolutely neces-
sary to the economic and envi-
ronmental sustainability of the
area.

Lower East Coast
The Lower East Coast region
includes all of Palm Beach,
Broward and Miami-Dade Coun-
ties, the Florida.Keys, plus por-
tions of seven other counties
around Lake Okeechobee and
along the Caloosahatchee River.
Its population expected to
grow significantly between now
and 2020, increasing by almost 58
percent from 1995. Most of this
increase in population will occur
in the coastal area, which is pro-
jected to have almost seven mil-
lion residents in 2020.
The region also includes more
than one-half million acres of
profitable agriculture and world-
renowned ecosystems such as
The Everglades, Lake Okee-
chobee, Florida Bay and Bisca rne
Bay.

How to reduce stormwater runoff


By Ed Ayen, Florida Yards &
Neighborhood

This is another in a series of
articles written about the new
area urban conservation program
called Florida Yards & Neighbor-
hoods.
Great strides have been made
here in central Florida to reduce
what is called "point sources" of
pollution such as smokestacks
and sewage discharge. But a
more widely spread and scattered
source of pollution, nonpointt
source pollution", is threatening
our ecosystems.
Dissolved pollutants can reach
our groundwater through a
process called leaching (soaking
through the soil). Our sandy soils
in this area are certainly prone to
leaching and possibly runoff dur-
ing the upcoming rainy season. At
properly landscaped yard with
good mulch and a healthy lawn
can absorb stormwater runoff,
protecting Florida's natural
waters. Runoff that is not
absorbed often contains nitrogen
and phosphorus from fertilizers
that fuel algae blooms in our
streams and lakes. These blooms
smother natural vegetation,
depleting oxygen, which kills fish.
More alarming, harmful sub-
stances, such as household pesti-
cides and fertilizers, may leach
into our water supply. This can
harm people and aquatic life.
One of the basic concepts of a
Florida-Friendly yard is that rain
that falls on your yard should soak
into your yard. If your roof has
rain gutters, aim the downspouts
at a porous surface so water can
soak into the soil and not run
down the street or pool next to


Submitted to INI
Florida Yards & Neighborhoods, Ed Ayen suggests using rain
barrels or 'cisterns' to capture rainwater and re-use for hand
watering.


buildings. You may wish to incor-
porate functional earth shaping
into your landscape such as
swales and berms which can help
divert runoff that would other-
wise rush from your yard. If you
have a waterfront property adding


a maintenance-free zone of native
wetland plants to a berm or swale
will make your yard more water-
front-friendly.
Rain barrels or cisterns may be
used to capture rainwater. The
Highlands County Master Garden-


ers have rain barrels available at
the Ag-Center in Sebring, for a
small donation. They also have
information available on how to
build your own rain barrel. Bar-
rels are great for hand watering,
and they are not mosquito breed-
ing grounds if the downspout fits
tightly and openings are
screened. Cisterns will store a
greater supply of rainwater that
may be used for non-potable uses
but require more engineering.
Whenever possible use
porous materials such as mulch,
gravel, brick and pervious con-
crete for walkways, driveways or
patios. They allow rainwater to
seep into the ground, helping to
filter pollutants and reducing the
amount of runoff from your yard.
Finally, use pesticides and fer-
tilizers wisely so they are retained
in the yard and do not run off or
are leached into the ground
water.
The Florida Yards and Neigh-
borhoods program is being
implemented through your local
County Extension Service in High-
lands, Okeechobee and Glades
County and is partially funded
from Clean Water Act Section 319
funding from the U. S. EPA
through the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection.
Ed Ayen is available to address
interested groups, such as home-
owners associations, voluntary
organizations and clubs. For fur-
ther information he can be
reached by calling the Highlands
County Extension Service office.

MHHS tours vocational, tech schools


Twenty-two 11th and 12th
grade Moore Haven High School
students, accompanied by three
faculty members, recently visited
several vocational and technical
schools. The Florida educational
system offers an array of instruc-
tional opportunities outside the
conventional two and four year
college programs.
In their three day field trip, the
students gained an important per-
spective on the range and depth of


these opportunities. Areas
observed by the students included
such vocations as automotive and
diesel mechanics, web design, car-
pentry, marine maintenance and
repair, music and video editing and
production, auto body repair,
plumbing, drafting, welding and
many, many more. Vocational and
technical schools also provide
instruction on resume preparation,
interview techniques and work-
place behavior expectations, as

The 411 on Super Heroes and Sidekicks


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
Every Batman needs a Robin.
Some go it alone, but the reality is
that super heroes are more super
when they have someone working
behind the scenes and out of the
lime-light to help them save the day.
Last year, Disney released a
movie called Sky High. Sky High is
a special high school campus that
floats above the clouds built for the
children of super heroes. Some-
times the children of superheroes
have super powers and sometimes
they don't. When freshmen arrive
at Sky High, they are .sorted into
two tracks: Those with recognized
super powers take hero classes,
and those who don't have such
super powers take sidekick classes.
The purpose of the super heroes
and the sidekicks is to serve and
save the citizens from danger and
villainous acts. Some of those with
super powers take sidekicks for
granted. One of the lessons in the
movie is that the works and gifts of


the sidekicks, though often over-
looked and minimized, often pro-
vide the foundation needed in
order to accomplish what must be
done to save the day.
In the movie, the main players
are super heroes, sidekicks, and cit-
izens.
Some people in the church get
the idea that these same categories
also relate to the kinds of Christians
we have. We have heroes of the
Bible. and church history. The
preachers who haven't reached
hero status yet, along with the
devoted lay people who do most of
the work, are sidekicks. The citi-
zens are the bystanders who come
and worship when they can.
I would caution everyone not to
fall into the trap of believing that
pastors are called to be disciples on
behalf of the citizens. Seminary is
not Sky. High where those called go
to learn super hero stuff. God calls
some of us to ordination, but God
calls ALL of us to discipleship.
. The truth is there is only one
superhero Jesus. Most of us get


that idea.
But the truth also is that we are
not called to be citizens. We are
called to be sidekicks. God calls all
of us to work closely with Him for
His purposes. We are sidekicks
called to ministry, to a purpose big-
ger than ourselves, bigger than our
families, bigger than our dreams.
And similar to the movie, it's the
efforts of the sidekicks (the back-
ground people) that help make the
hero shine and the day happen.
Some of the disciples wanted
Jesus to be a superhero.who would
stay forever, reigning in might and
splendor. Instead, God worked the
miracle of resurrection and Pente-
cost and left the church in charge.
That's us!
God is the hero, hard at work in
the person of Christ and the power
of the Holy Spirit. All of God's peo-
ple are called to be the sidekicks,
called to give of themselves so that
the hero can save the day.
Not only that, we are the heirs of
the sidekicks of previous genera-
tions. We have been blessed by the


stories of their faithfulness, the
communities they formed, the
churches they built, and the mis-
sions and ministries they began.
We continue the work they started.
This ministry changes and
evolves. Sometimes it grows, some-
times it disappears. But it is always
replaced with a new ministry for a
new day. We are the sidekicks who
work with the Hero to build the
kingdom of God in our day.
Together we are called to dream
big dreams for the future of God's
church as we tell the story to new
generations. We must tell the good
news to our children.
We must reach our youth. We
must seek out the stranger in our
midst, the newcomer, the immi-
grant; and welcome them. We
must bring healing to the broken,
food to the hungry, and release to
the imprisoned. God needs side-
kicks in this day, in this place, to
continue to build the foundation
needed in order to accomplish
what must be done. That's us!


Telling the truth; to censor or not to censor


By The Reverend Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph. D.
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
I served as a part of a committee
for a student's doctoral dissertation.
She had chosen to study a group of
people in hopes of helping them
but part of her study revealed nega-
tive things. She asked her commit-
tee if she should tell them. I was a
bit surprised by her question. She
had done an honest piece of work
and those she studied knew about
it. What she found was done in
hopes of helping someone but it
didn't seem to come out that way. I
told her that the people studied had
a right to know; for better or for
worse.
I hear of studies persons and
companies in medically-related
fields that concealed harmful parts
of their research. Withholding the
truth is wrong when it affects per-
sons and is doubly wrong when it
is self-serving or has selfish inter-
ests for withholding it.


There is a difference between
censorship to protect youngsters
and censorship to manipulate peo-
ple or push one's own interest.
There is something about human'
nature that makes us want to know
and people get (rightfully) angry
when something is withheld that
keeps them from making the best
decisions for themselves.
I grew up with little in the way of
censorship, but was challenged to
think about what I read or saw.
Against a background.of values,
and, learning to think for myself, lit-
tle was forbidden or censored. One
summer, someone gave us a
bushel basket full of paperback
books. There were westerns, nov-
els, mysteries, history books, fic-
tion, and .an old copy of Emile
Zola's Nana: This original version
had no racy descriptions or inti-
mate details spelled out. It was,
though, a story of how human
weakness and manipulation of
people brought the downfall of
people who let their emotions


overrule their reason. Later, when
an avant-garde movie came out
(tame by today's standards; risqu6
in its day) everyone worried about
who should or should not see it. I
saw it with a family member and
quickly realized the story had no
real plot; shallow characters parad-
ing through each other's lives and
nothing to offer. We need to be
given values in order for us to be
able to make decisions our own
best decisions.
What seems to be passed off as
"entertainment" is best censored by
people who see it for what it is and
who let others know that there is
really nothing there to see. We don't
teach values to give people their
own measuring-sticks for what is
worthwhile and what is not; relying
on imposing censorship and trying
to keep people from finding out
what they should be able to accept
or reject on their own.
Jesus spoke about telling the
truth; all of it. He was challenged
one day by a group of Pharisees


and He told them what He had
heard that came from God. They
didn't seem to understand. He
exhorted them to hold 'to God's
teaching saying "Then you will
know the truth and the truth will set
you free (John 8:32)." You learn the
truth by searching and testing;
preferably on your own, and when
that is not possible, by using trusted
sources. When people honestly
search, theywill be rewarded; truth
will indeed set us free to know
what to believe and do and how to
act. When truth is withheld, people
play "God" and pretend to know
better. That's not our place; we
help others become themselves
when we help them find out about
what affects them and how they
should decide or act.
The truth, no matter how
unpleasant, disliked, uncomfort-
able it may be, let us better become
what God intended us to be and
ultimately sets us free to be that
person. It will finally make us a lot
happier too.

Farm Bureau meets elected officials


WASHINGTON, D.C. Farm-
ers and ranchers from across the
Sunshine State visited with their
national lawmakers, Congres-
sional staff and U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) officials
during a citizens lobbying trip to
our nation's capital from May 22
through May 25. Sponsored by
Florida Farm Bureau, the annual
event is known as "From the
Field to the Hill."
Farm Bureau members dis-


cussed various federal public
policy issues that affect farm
production in Florida while they
were in Washington. During a
May 23 stop at the USDA, for
example, they held talks with
Secretary Mike Johanns and
other administrators on hurri-
cane disaster assistance, farm
trade issues and assessments of
provisions which will likely be
included in the 2007 Farm Bill.
Small groups of agriculturists


also met with individual mem-
bers of Florida's Congressional
delegation for detailed conversa-
tions about the need for com-
prehensive immigration reform
that will protect our borders
without an amnesty provision,
combined with a viable proce-
dure for securing temporary
farm labor.
Casey Welch, Farm Bureau's
coordinator of federal govern-
ment affairs, said the visit gave


farmers and ranchers an oppor-
tunity to express their opinions
on policies that affect their liveli-
hoods. "Florida Farm Bureau
members were especially good
at providing a vivid picture of
how the federal government can
assist them in producing safe,
affordable and abundant food
and fiber,"' Welch explained.
"We will follow up these discus-
sions with more meetings
throughout the year."

the debts that are owed to our
fallen heroes.
The freedom we enjoy today
would not be ours without their
sacrifices. Memorial Day is not a
holiday for celebrations of fun
and frolic, barbecues, beaching
and the like. The true meaning
of Memorial Day is to honor
those we owe for all that we love
and cherish in this country.
Every year we take our children
to the Memorial Day Ceremony
so that they can pass on the tra-
dition of honoring those heroes
who have made our freedom
possible."
Our National Anthem, The
Star Spangled Banner, was sung
by 9 year-old Jessie Espinosa of
Moore Haven.
Commander Jones intro-
duced the speaker Master
Sergeant Gordon E. Bryant,
Retired, who emphasized that
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. All any
of us need do is look at televi-
sion, read a newspaper, listen to
the radio, or look at the Internet.
War continues as does the
killings. The least we here at
home can do is to honor not
only those who have paid the
price since this country's begin-
nings, but those who are still
fighting in order that we here at
home can continue to live in
peace and comfort. It is little

Task Force assisted GCSO per-
sonnel in the 9:30 a.m. raid.
"Due to safety issues, we hit
the home when no one was
there," said Detective Harris.
The detective said there were
several dogs at the home on 900
Rodeo Road.
"There were two big Rot-
tweilers that were aggressive,
but they didn't bite anyone," he
added.
In an interview shortly after
the raid, the detective said that
the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE) estimated
the value of the plants at $1,000
each and that the dried marijua-
na had an estimated value of
$3,000 a pound.

Closing comments were
made by Commander Jones fol-
lowed by the benediction by the
Rev. Cline.
Immediately following the
ceremony, an impromptu talk
with Glades County Sheriff-Stu-
arl Whidden and Commander
Jones called attention to the
growing disruption of the cere-
mony by the noise of trucks and
cars. In a matter of minutes
Sheriff Whidden said he would
assign deputies next year at
either end of the cemetery to
slow traffic during this memorial
service.


tive Harris said lights, air condi-
tioning units, pots, soil and vari-
ous other items related to the
marijuana growing operation
were also seized.
He went on to say that some
of the rooms in the 1,700-
square-foot brick home were
covered with a foil to reflect
light.
"it's almost like a tanning
bed," he said. "It creates light all
the way around."
Detective Harris said two
bedrooms and a two-car garage
were set up as grow rooms.
The home, which was built in
the mid-1970s, was also indicted
by the federal government. This
means that if there is enough
equity in the home it will be sold
at auction and part of the pro-
ceeds will go to the GCSO, and
the federal government will,
keep some.
Detective Harris said the
home is on 2.5 acres and is just


It's 9:15 p.m., and you're on
an airboat with your best hunt-
ing buddy on a pleasant summer
night. You've already watched
the sunset while you and your
friend quickly readied your hunt-
ing gear to the lulling sound of
pig frogs which seems to grow
increasing louder with the com-
ing of night. It's now gotten just
dark enough to use the Q-Beam
to spot the big, bright-red-glow-
ing eyes of- a huge bull gator.
How cool would it be to har-
poon one of these beasts and
then have it tow your boat all
over the lake as you hang on
with all your might? Since 1988,,
the FWC has offered hunters this
exact opportunity by taking part
in its annual statewide alligator
harvest. These special hunts
provide a thrilling, hands-on
hunting adventure unlike any
other you could imagine.
At its February commission
meeting, the FWC decided to
extend the alligator hunting sea-
son to give hunters more flexibil-
ity in scheduling their hunts.
This year, the season will be'
twice as long as last year and
will span 11 consecutive weeks
from Aug. 15 through Nov. 1.
You can choose among four
one-week quota periods at the
beginning of the season and also
hunt the remaining seven-week
"open" season which runs Sept.
12-Nov. 1.
Another positive change this
year is hunters can now pur-
chase additional permits, if
they're available. But, only one
permit may be purchased per,
transaction.
More than 4,000 alligator har-
vest permits will be available on
a firstcome, first-served basis
beginning 10 a.m. (EDT) June
15. You may buy them at any tax
collector's office, license agent,
at MyFWC.com/license or by
calling toll-free 1-888 HUNT

Although he described the
home as a "nice house," he said
it will require quite a bit of work
on the inside due to the amount
of mold and mildew that was
brought about by the amount of
moisture inside the house.
Even though there has been
an arrest, Detective Harris said
this investigation is not over.
"We're still trying to follow
up on things and people out of
state," he said. "It's tied to a big
operation."

sary hide validation tags is $272
for Florida residents, and $1,022
for nonresidents. Additional per-
mits cost only $62 for instate and
out-of-staters alike. Each permit
allows you to take two alligators
from whichever county or
lake/river harvest area you
applied for. Hunters must be at
least 18 years old by opening day
on Aug. 15 to purchase one, and
no other hunting license or per-
mits are required.
Legal hunting hours:during
these night-only hunts, is one-
half hour before sunset to one-
half hour after sunrise.
Hunters may take alligators
using hand-held snares, har-
poons, gigs or snatch hooks. Or,
you can choose to use projec-
tiles that are attached to restrain-*
ing lines and shot from a spear-
gun, crossbow or bow.
Hand-thrown spears attached to
restraining lines also can be
used.
Bang sticks are then used to
finish the hunt once the gator is
secured to the restraining line

professional in computer lab work
and was an aid for various class-
room teachers.
"It's impossible to put into
words the impact a teacher can
have on the lives of students. I
look at my students and. know
that some of them don't have the
attention they need before they
come to school, so it's doubly
important that they be recognized
in school and made to feel impor-


and up close enough to the boat.
But, if you'd rather assist a
friend who's a licensed trapper,
you can pay just $52 for an alli-
gator trapping "agent" license.
You don't even have to be 18 to
buy one of them. This license
allows you to take alligators, but
only when in the presence of
your friend.
If you think you're up to the
challenge and you'd like to give
gator hunting a try but you're
not sure what all's involved not
to worry. The FWC offers a free,
three-hour training program
throughout the state to teach the
rules and regulations of these
unique hunts. You don't have to


attend, but if you've never been
gator hunting, I'd recommend
going.
Courses will be offered in July
and August, and after you pur-
chase any of these licenses and
permits, you'll receive, in the
mail, an orientation manual and
a listing of exact dates and loca-
tions of the training sessions.
If you'd like to experience the
thrill of gator hunting, you need
to buy a permit beginning June
15. Don't hesitate because the
best hunting areas go quickly.

Are you ready



for hurricanes?


By Loma Jablonski
INI Florida
Hurricane season, as all Florid-
ians know, runs from June I until
Nov. 30 of each year. With the
2006 hurricane season here, now
is the time to prepare your home
for the possibility of a hurricane
strike.
The following is a partial
check list in preparing your home
to withstand a hurricane. The
National Weather Service has
compiled a list of things to do to
prepare your home for hurricane
season.
Outside of your
home:
Cut back tree limbs that
hang over your house. Trees pro-
vide shade and help keep your
home cool, but those same tree
limbs can come crashing through
your roof and windows.
Put all loose items such as
lawn furniture, barbecue grills,
potted or handing plants, garbage
-cans, etc.- inside your -house,
garage or tool shed. High winds
can blow these type of items
around like guided missiles.
Make sure your tool shed is
properly anchored down. If high
winds break up your shed, every-
thing inside of- it becomes a
potential threat to property and
people.
Window protection:
Windows must be protected
against wind and flying debris:
Once a window is broken, hurri-
cane winds can not only destroy
the room the window is in, but it
can tear the roof right off your
home. There are many ways to
protect your windows including
roll-down storm shutters, storm
panels or plywood. Duct tape
offers absolutely no protection
against the high winds of a hurri-
cane. Do not waste your time or
money taping up windows.
Plywood is the least expen-
sive way to protect your win-
dows, and the thicker plywood
the better the protection. The
major disadvantages to using ply-
wood are the time and hard work
it takes to put it up.
Storm panels are usually
made of steel or aluminum. They
attach to the walls around win-
dows and doors. They usually
slide into place on tracks that are
permanently installed around
each window or door. Installation
is supposed to be a lot faster than


plywood because you simply
slide the panels onto the track
and secure them, but as you
know, we've all gotten to be
experts at quickly putting up ply-
wood sheets.
Roll-down shutters attach
above the windows and doors.
They roll up and store in a box
when not in use. You can quickly
lower and secure them. Experts
consider these the best way to
protect your home and the easi-
est to use, but they are also the
most expensive to have installed.
Double doors and garage
doors: Make sure your double
front doors secure properly. The
total wind pressure on a door is
centered on the lock and latch.
Most doors should be strength-
ened by latch systems or addition-
al surface mounted slide bolts to
distribute wind's pressure. If slide
bolts cannot be used, 2 x 4s bolt-
ed across the inside and outside
of the door are an effective alter-
native. Storm panels and roll-
down shutters can also be used to
protect these doors.
If your home was built before
1993, the standard garage door is
only wind-rated to 50 mph. New
garage doors with steel bracing
can withstand winds up to 150
mph.
If you do have an older garage
door, bracing kits are available at
hardware and home improve-
ment centers. You may also
attach wooden 2 x 6 stiffeners
approximately 184inches apart,
running the lull width of the door.
As a last resort, pajk your vehicle
against the inside of hme garage
door to help prevent it from bow-
ing in and popping off the tracks.
Check out your generator to
make sure it is working properly.
Put the extension cords, oil and
gasoline iri an area that is easily'
accessible. Do not store the gaso-
line inside your home. Do not
attempt to operate your generator
inside your home. Have battery-
operated radios and flashlights
handy.
Remember, we've all been
through this before so take the
time now to prepare so that you
don't have to panic later.


Generators still top storm supply list


By Loma Jablonski
INI Florida
After the past two hurricane
seasons, we have learned how
much we depend on electricity
in our daily lives. Without elec-
tricity we quickly learned first
hand what it was like to live in
Florida prior to Edison inventing
the light bulb. Oil lamps, candles
and flashlights were worth their
weight in gold.
Unless you were lucky
enough to have a gas stove,
cooking had to be done on a
grill. It's amazing what can be
cooked on a gas or charcoal
grill.
Those of us living in the coun-
try were quickly reminded that
without power our well pumps
were worthless. So we bathed in
our swimming pools, ponds and
even ditches. There were people
cleaning up in the flooded park-
ing lot of North Lake Plaza.
In true pioneer fashion, we
lugged 5-gallon buckets of water
into our bathrooms to flush the
toilets.
We became experts on how
long a bag of ice could keep
food cold. Even more important-
ly, we became our grandparents
- waiting in long lines for food,
water and ice like they did dur-
ing the Great Depression. j
Having been through all of
this over the past two years,
many residents of Okeechobee
have decided that "enough is
enough." What we endured
over the past two summers has
educated us as to what we need
to have to be truly prepared for
the upcoming hurricane season.
Other than packing up and
getting out of the path of an
upcoming hurricane, the con-
sensus of opinion in Okee-
chobee is that one of the most
important items on a hurricane
preparedness list is the purchase
a generator.
With generators so high on
everyone's list, now is the time
to purchase one if you haven't.
already done so. If you do pur-
chase a new unit, do not leave it
irnits box until needed. Take it
out of its box and familiarize
yourself with the unit. Test it to
make sure it works. If you have
an existing generator or get a
used one, check it out to make
sure that it is still in good work-
ing condition. If not, have it pro-
fessionally serviced now. You
will not be able to have it
worked on right before an
impending storm.
With all the generators being


purchased, it is extremely
important to use caution when
operating them. Generators can
create hazards for homeowners
and electric utility workers.
Make sure to always read and
follow the manufacturer's safety
and operating instructions.
Carbon monoxide is a color-
less, odorless and tasteless poi-
son gas. It is a component of the
exhaust from a generator's
engine. This gas is deadly. Never
run your generator inside your
home. or garage. Only run the
generator outdoors in a well-
ventilated, dry area away from
the air intakes to your home.
Plug your individual appli-
ances into the generator using a
heavy duty, outdoor rated exten-
sion cord with a wire gauge ade-
quate for the appliance load. Do
not operate more appliances
and equipment than the output
rating of the generator; to do so
will overload and damage the
generator and could cause a fire.
If your generator is connect-
ed to the house wiring, the
home must have a transfer
switch installed by a licensed
electrician. A transfer switch
connects your house to the gen-
erator and disconnects it from
the utility power. This will pre-
vent backfeeding, which ener-
gizes the electrical circuits out-
side your home.
Backfeeding usually occurs
when a generator is connected
directly to the electric panel or
circuit in the home. Feeding
power back into the utility sys-
tem during an outage will ener-
gize the transformer ser ing the
house and could pose a serious
problem to crews working to
restore power in the area.
Use the following guide as a
rule of thumb w hen purchasing
a generator.
A 1,000 watt recreational
generator is for boating, camp-
ing and limited outdoor use.
A 5,500 %%att generator will,
run limited lighting, radio, televi-
sion, refrigerator, sump pump
and microwave up to the capaci-
ty of the unit.
A 7.500 walt generator will.
run limited lighting, radio, televi-
sion, refrigerator, sump pump,
microwave and other, various
low watt electrical devices up to
the capacity of the unit.
A 12,500 watt generator
will run limited lighting, radio,
television, refrigerator, sump
pump, microwave and other
various low watt electrical
devices up to the capacity of the


Safeguard your financial records from damage


With the approach of hurricane
season, the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice encourages taxpayers to safe-
guard their records.
Some simple steps can help tax-
payers and businesses protect
financial and tax records in case of
hurricanes and other disasters.
"Even if you don't live in an area
prone to hurricanes, this is an
excellent time to take a few min-
utes to help safeguard financial
documents that can be hard to
replace," said Kevin Brown, Com-
-missioner of the IRS Small Busi-
ness/Self-Employed Division. Listed
below are tips for individuals and
businesses by tax professionals
and the IRS on maintaining finan-
cial and tax records.
Paperless
recordkeeping
Many people receive bank state-
ments and documents by e-mail.
This method is an outstanding way
to secure financial records. Impor-
tant tax records such as W-2s, tax
returns and other paper docu-
ments can be scanned onto an
electronic format.
"New technologies provide tax-
payers with new opportunities to
keep their records secure," said E.
Martin Davidoff, chairman, Tax
Liaison Committee, American
Association of Attorney-Certified
Public Accountants (AAA-CPA).
"Many people are now receiving
bank statements and documents
via e-mail. One approach, using a
scanner to fill in the gaps of elec-
tronic commerce, is to have all
financial records in electronic for-
mat. By doing so, one can copy all
of their records onto a 'key' or
'jump drive' periodically. Those
keys can be sent to a relative in
another city for safe-keeping in
case one's normal computer back-
up systems are destroyed."
Other options include copying
files onto a CD or DVD. Also, many
retail stores sell computer software

packages that you can use for
recordkeeping.
"Disasters such as hurricanes
can't be prevented," said Dennis B.
Drapkin, chair, American Bar Asso-
ciation (ABA) Section of Taxation.
"But the disruption they cause can
be reduced. Remember to safe-
guard and backstop your most
important records Store them in a
safe place. Back-up your electronic
files. Make duplicates where possi-
ble and keep them in a separate
location."
Document
valuables
One option is to photograph or
videotape the contents in your
house, especially items of greater
value. The IRS has a disaster loss
workbook ( Publication 584) that
can help you compile a room-by-
room list of your belongings.
"This will help you recall and
prove the market value of items for
insurance and casualty loss
claims," said Tom Ochsenschlager,
vice president-taxation, American
Institute of Certified Public Accoun-


tants (AICPA). "Be sure to store the
photos with a friend or family
member who lives away from the
geographic area at risk."
Proximity to your home should
not be your main concern when
choosing a location to store impor-
tant records. Remember, a disaster
that strikes .our home is also likely
to affect facilities nearby, making
quick retrieval of your records diffi-
cult or impossible.
Check on
Fiduciary Bonds
Employers who use payroll
service providers should ask the
provider if they have a fiduciary
bond in place. The bond could pro-
tect the employer in the event of
default by the payroll service
provider.
Update Emergency Plans
Emergency plans should be
reviewed annually. Personal and
business situations change over
time and so do preparedness
needs. Individual taxpayers should
make sure they are saving docu-
ments everybody should keep

including such things as W-2s,
home closing statements and
insurance records. When employ-
ers hire new employees or when a
company or organization changes
functions, plans should be updated
accordingly and employees should
be informed of the changes.
Count on the IRS
In the event of a disaster, the IRS
stands ready to help. The IRS has
valuable information you can
request if your records are
destroyed.
Immediately after a casualty,
you can request a copy of a return
and all attachments (including
Form W-2) by using Form 4506,
Request for Copy of Tax Return.
If you just need information
from your return, you can order a
transcript by calling 1-800-829-1040
or using Form 4506-T, Request for
Transcript of Tax Return. There is
no fee for a transcript. Transcripts
are available for the current year
and returns processed in the three
prioryears.


In case you are not sure
about how much wattage you
use, the following guide has

household electrical appliances
and their wattage. The RW is the
running wattage or amount of
wattage required to run the
appliance, and the SW is the
starting wattage, or the amount

; Always check the amount of,
wattage the appliance requires
before plugging it into a genera-
tor. It the. b,,x or paperwork of
the appliance does not list the
wattage, the formula to figure
wattage is: amps x volts = watts.
As you can see, it is important
to choose the size of generator
that is. right for you. It is also
important to onbl use those
appliances that are absolute
necessary \for your basic needs.
Generators are not meant to
totally take the place of the elec-
tric company. They are meant to
provide temporary basic elec-
tricity to your home until power
can be restored.
.:Finally .don'.t forget that gen-
erators run on gasoline. Make
sure that ,uj ha% e enough gaso-
line to keep the generator run-
ning for an extended period of
time. The largest generator you


can purchase will do you no
good without fuel to run it. Read
the instructions for your genera-
tor to ascertain how long the
generator will run on a 5-gallon
can of gas.
Keep in mind, that if the
power is out in town, the gas sta-
tions cannot pump gasoline. So,
have enough on hand to last sev-
eral days. Keep those gas cans in
a dry, well-ventilated place easily
accessible after the storm pass-
es.
Generators are definitely con-
venient and useful. Just remem-
ber to use common sense and
read the directions before using
them.

hurricane is just as important as and water, that has hbeoon tant. individual


preparing for it before its arrival.
Below are excerpts from the
Florida Department of Health on
precautions to take after a storm
and how to handle various facets
of daily life.
Food safety:
Do not eat any food that may
have come into contact with con-
taminated water from floods or
tidal surges.
Do not eat canned food if
there is a bulging or opening on the
can or the caps of commercial
drinks.
Save undamaged, commer-
cially canned foods by removing
labels and disinfecting the cans in a
bleach solution of one-fourth cup
bleach in one gallon of water. Re-
label the cans including expiration
date and food type. Assume that
home-canned food is unsafe.
Feed infants only pre-mixed
canned baby formula. Do not use
powdered formulas prepared with
treated water. Use boiled water to
prepare formula.
Frozen and refrigerated foods
can be unsafe after a hurricane.
Without power, refrigerators keep
foods cool for only about four
hours. Throw out thawed and


boiled or disinfected before eating,
after toilet use, after cleanup activi-
ties, and after handling articles con-
taminated by floodwater or
sewage.
Post-hurricane flooding may
mean water contains fecal matter
from sewage systems, agricultural
and industrial waste, and septic
tanks. Keep open cuts or sores
clean by washing them with soap
and disinfected or boiled water.
Apply antibiotic ointment to
reduce the risk of infection. See a
physician if a wound or sore devel-
ops redness, swelling or drainage.
Do not allow children to play
in flood water; it can expose them
to fecal matter. Disinfect toys that
have been in flood water before let-
ting children play with them. Use
one-fourth cup water in one gallon
of water to disinfect toys and other
items.
Power outage,
prevent fire hazard:
Use battery-powered lanterns
and flashlights rather than candles.
If using candles, keep in safe
holders away from curtains, paper,
wood or other flammable items.


illness:
Heavy rains and flooding can
lead to more mosquitoes, which
are most active at sunrise and
sunset.
Protect against mosquitoes
by using these prevention tips:
Avoid being outside at dusk and
dawn; wear clothes that cover
most of your skin; use DEET
repellent, or picaridin and oil of
lemon eucalyptus; get rid of
standing water where mosqui-
toes can lay eggs.
Home clean-up:
Flood water with a hurricane
must be removed as soon as pos-
sible since it may contain material
from overflowing sewage sys-
tems. If there has been a back-
flow of sewage into the house,
take the following measures for
clean-up:
Clean walls, hard-surface
floors and other household sur-
faces with soap and water; disin-
fect with one cup bleach to five
gallons of water.
Disinfect surfaces that come
in contact with food and chil-
dren's play areas.
Wash all linens and clothing

is important for those in trailers to evacuate when a hurricane approaches. The high
