Ill IIIIlllII S 16510 00022 1 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.

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. Man charged in marijuana growingrsetup By Eric Kopp INI Florida MOORE HAVEN A Miami man has been indicted on federal charges that stem from a raid on a marijuana grow house in Moore Haven earlier thisyear. Yosveli Olheit, 32, was ar rested May 27 during a traf- tic stop in Miami. He was fed- erally indicted on May 2-1. According to LIU.S. Attorney David Haas in Fort M\ers, Oliv- ert is charged with possession with intent to distribute over 100 marijuana plants. If con- victed he would face a mini- mum mandatory sentence of five years, up to a maximum sentence of -10 years in a fed- eral prison. Mr. Haas said Oliv- ert could also face a fine of up to $2 million. The case will be heard in federal court in Fort Myers, ult no court date had been set as of June 6. "The only way cure this (type of operation) is federal prosecution," said Detective Steve Harris, of the Glades County Sheriff's Office (.GCSO. "Untoitunatel., at the state level this is only a minor felony." Detecti e Harris said"when the house was raided on Mon- day, Feb. 27, 180 marijuana plants were seized along with 200 pounds of pot that had See Growing Page 12 Teaching is all in the family for Sherri Fleming Glades County Road Department Superintendent Avant Brown and daughter Kailin, 8, road tandem to the second annual River Rally in Moore Haven Saturday, while mom Emma, not pictured, arrived on her own motorcycle.

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 See Memorial Page 12 Glades County residents gathered at Memorial Day services on May 29.

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."

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.

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.

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. Phone: (863)402-6540 or email: edayen@ufl.edu.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, June 8, 2006 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. Area Church News in Brief Submitted to INI Father Soy officiates at the traditional ceremony.

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." Apply for Gator Hunt Permits now Glades County Democrat/Barbara Oehlbeck Gorden E.

Memorial Continued From Page 1 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.

"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 FLORIDA from anywhere within the United States or Canada.

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." Classified Ads The combined listings from Independent's 14 newspapers, distributed to 256,000 homes. Community Links. Individual Voices.

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 Teacher Continued From Page 1 years, Sherri Fleming was a para- 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.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, June 8, 2006 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 Post your News Post or read press releases, announcements & information from your community. Community Links. Individual Voices. 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 Memory Foam Pillow Top Queen Size Set $1,365 King Size Set $1,680 While Special Supply Last With FREE Local Delivery and Removal OsS Jackson River Home Furnishings & Decor At the Foot of the Bridge ..... ..- 340 North Bridge Street 863-674-0003 LaBelle 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 some of the more common 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 of wattage required to start the appliance. Dishwasher: Cool dry- (RW) 700, (SW) 1,400. Dishwasher: Hot dry (RW) 1,450, (SW) 1,400; Coffee maker (RW) 1,750; Electric fry pan (RW) 1,300; Refrigerator or Freezer - (RW) 700, (SW) 2,200; Clothes dryer (gas) (RW) 700, (SW) 1,800; Clothes dryer (electric) (RW) 5,750, (SW) 1,800.

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. 2006 Hurricane Names Alberto Beryl Chris Debby Ernesto Florence Gordon Helene Isaac Joyce Kirk Leslie Michael Nadine Oscar S Patty .

Individual Voices 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 *"-. .INI Florida Take warnings seriously This photo.taken after Hurricane Wilma hit the Lake Okeechobee area illustrates why it is important for those in trailers to evacuate when a hurricane approaches.

Be careful not to mix certain household cleaners and disinfec- tants, as some mixtures can pro- duce toxic fumes and, result in injury or death. Discard materials that can- not be thoroughly cleaned and dried within 24-48 hours. Watch for mold and carefully remove or clean it. For more infor- mation on mold, call the Okee- chobee County Health Depart- ment at 863-462-5819 or Air Toxics Hotline at 800-543-8279. Home repair: Work in pairs or groups. Take short breaks -and work .during cooler hours of the day. Wear goggles, heavy gloves and steel-toed boots. Clean wounds with soap and clean water. Leave immediately if water- damaged structure shifts or unusual noises occur. Avoid lifting more than 50 pounds of debris or materials. Avoid heat stroke/exhaus- tion by wearing light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and drinking fluids every 15 minutes: Only experienced. people should use chainsaws and special equipment; wear earplugs when operating. Turn off power at main. breaker to prevent electrocution in wet areas. Never handle a downed power line. Never bring gasoline- or diesel-powered pumps, genera- tors or pressure washers indoors as they release carbon monoxide a deadly, colorless and odor- less gas. Avoid exhaustion by resting often and maintaining a normal sleep schedule. Take advantage of disaster relief programs in the community.
