Landfill issue hits impasse

By Jose Jesus Zaragoza
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN -. Citing a
section of its agreement with
Waste Management, the Glades
County Board of Commissioners
said it was waiting for a response
from the company before moving
forward with the contract.
In the meantime, commission-
ers considered their options in the
continuing discussion of the area's
waste system and voted, by a nar-,
row margin, to call an impasse in

negotiations with Waste Manage-
ment.
County Attorney Richard
Pringle opened the issue by giving
a report on negotiations with
Waste Management. The attorney
briefed commissioners on the sta-
tus during a brief recess during the
county meeting on Jurie 13..
Addressing the commission as
whole, Mr. Pringle said he recent-
ly sent a document to Waste Man-
agement containing several revi-
sions in the language of the
agreement, specifically citing legal

indemnity. The attorney said he
sent the revisions before taking a
two-week vacation and has not
heard back from the company.
He said the board now faced
two choices: to implement the
Solid Waste Disposal Interim Haul-
ing Agreement to ensure that there
is continuity of services while the
board works to transfer to Waste
Management's site or continue
negotiations to finish the contract.
According to the minutes of the
meeting, Commissioner Russell
Echols said he would opt against

Art of Self Defense: Excellence in competition

the Lykes proposal to open up the
county's landfill to out-of-county
waste, which would kill the Waste
Management agreement.
Commissioner Echols said that
closing cell 1 would require Waste
Management to construct a trans-
fer station at the current landfill
site. Waste Management would,
then charge Glades County the
same fee as it charges Okee-
chobee County, providing enough
time for the county to decide on
the future of the landfill.
Commissioner Paul Beck said

negotiations need to continue for
the benefit of the county, but that
an interim service should be put
into place.
Other commissioners agreed
to implement the interim agree-
ment to ensure services.
In response to the failure of
Waste Management to contact the
county attorney, John Austin Col-
lier, consultant for the company,
requested an additional 30 days
before the county casts a final

Recycling old tires
From the Editors of E/The Envi-
ronmental Magazine
Dear EarthTalk: Can old tires
be recycled? If so, where, and
what is the recycled material used
for? George, Rockville, MD
Old tires can indeed be recy-
cled, and thanks to concerted
efforts by state and provincial
governments from' coast-tb-
coast, as many as 80 percent of
them are these days across North
America. While some of these
old ures are remanufactured into
new tires, others are used in a
wide variety of applications
including railroad ties, rubber-
modified asphalt, athletic sur-
faces, insulation, plastic/rubber
blends used in a variety of prod-
ucts, even fuel.
The world's first tires were
made entirely out of natural rub-
ber, but the Southeast Asian
forests where the plants grew
could only produce so much. By
World War II most tires were
composed primarily of synthetic
rubber made from petroleum
products. Up until the 1960s, tires
were routinely recycled and bro-
ken down for use in making new
tires. But when imported oil got
cheaper, demand for recycled
synthetic rubber fell, and caches
of old tires with nowhere to go-
most landfills won't accept
them-began to sully landscapes
across North America. These old
tire stockpiles became havens for
pests and mosquitoes, and would
even occasionally burst into
flames and belch noxious chemi-
cals into the air.
Beginning in the mid-1990s,
state and provincial governments
in the U.S. and Canada led the
charge in mandating and funding
tire recycling efforts. In doing so

they helped spur the markets for
reprocessed synthetic rubber that
exist today. Now thousands of
companies across North America
specialize in turning recycled syn-
thetic rubbers into useful new
products.
American consumers looking
to offload old tires should take a
gander at the U.S. Environmental
Protection.. Agency's (EPA's)
"Management of Scrap ,Tires"
website to find tire recycling cen-
ters near them. Canadians can
turn to the website of the Canadi-
an Association of Tire Recycling
Agencies (CATRA) to find out
where to take used tires in any
province, including even the
remote Yukon Territory.
The EPA also offers free Busi-
ness Planning Guides for those
who might be looking to start a
tire recycling or re-manufacturing
business. The website Scrap Tire
News also provides a wealth of
knowledge on different waysto
get started.
Despite this encouraging
progress, North America still faces
a backlog of hundreds of millions
of old tires, quickly piling up out-
side filling stations and in back-
yards near you. The EPA estimates
that 290 million scrap tires are
generated annually, representing
two percent of all solid waste, and
that some 265 million are sitting
in stockpiles right now. At the very
least, we could all take the advice
of Participating in Nature:
Thomas J. Elpel's Field Guide to
Primitive Living Skills and turn our
old tires into "sandals with a
50,00.0 mile warranty!"

'Group seeks funding

By Pete Gawda
iNI Florida
OKEECHOBEE A meeting of
j multi-county coalition met in
Okeechobee June 15 to discuss
cleaning up Lake Okeechobee and
Pow to fund the work.
.4 The "County Coalition for
Responsible Management of Lake
pkeechobee, St. Lucie and
Caloosahatchee Estuaries and Lake
Worth Lagoon" also heard reports
on the condition of the dike, the sta-
tus of the fish' population in Lake
Okeechobee and South Florida
Water Management District
;(SFWMD) projects.
The coalition is made up of
county commissioners from Okee-
:chobee, St. :Lucie, Martin, Lee,
Palm Beach, Hendry, Glades, High-
land and Osceola counties.
Glades County Commissioner
Alvin Ward presented a far-reach-
Ing plan to clean up the lake.
"Every time I go to the lake I get
*more depressed than the last time,"
he said.
i Commissioner Ward suggested
the coalition lean on the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers (COE) to main-
tain lower lake levels in order to
;help the aquatic plant life. (Plants
filter the Water and provide safe
'havens for fish.) He also advocated
subsidizing commercial fisherman
Ito remove nonnative invasive fish.
'He proposed mechanical harvest-
*ing of unwanted vegetation in
place of chemicals. Restoring
native vegetation was also promot-
ed.
The plan also proposed a pilot
project at a problem basin such as
Taylor Creek/Nubbin Slough to
reduce phosphorous concentra-
tions entering the lake. Dredging
mud from the lake bottom was
included and replanting native
plants.
i "Cleaning up Lake Okeechobee
is a priority to this board," said
;Commissioner Ward.
!- Although costs have not yet
been determined, general funding
yeas were discussed including a
Ax increase by SFWMD of 0.1 mil.
inds would be earmarked solely
Lake Okeechobee cleanup.
'ne mil equals $1 for every $1,000

of assessed value.) The current
SFWMD tax rate, unchanged for
many years, is 0.7 mils. It was said
that an additional 0.1 mil assess-
ment would raise approximately
$65 million per year.
"We cannot support a tax
increase," said Osceola County
Commissioner Ken Smith. "I think
this is bigger than 16 counties. The
Everglades belong to everybody."
"Can we ask someone else to fix
our problem?" countered Commis-
sioner Ward.
Other commissioners were in
favor of an additional tax.
\Ve need to act quickly ( and
start \%ith us," said Commissioner
Sarah Heard of Martin County.
Palm Beach County Commis-
sioner Warren Newell suggested
forming a subcommittee to review
funding sources. He said that with
the counties helping fund the pro-
gram, more respect from state and
federal agencies was likely.
Ernie Barnett, director of
SFWMD's office of policy and legis-
lation, felt it might be difficult to get
approval for a tax increase.
After some debate, the coalition

was based on COE reports.) "Our
analysis of the condition has not
changed."
He said the lake level was cur-
rently being lowered by intermit-
tent pulse releases and that COE is

for lake cleanup

tion schedule called Water Supply
and Environment (WSE). Mr. Duke
detailed several alternate WSEs. All
call for maximum releases at 17.25
feet. This is lower than the current
18.5 feet. The alternate schedules
also call for a lower minimum level
for the late Se,:ial public meet-
ings are legally required prior to
finalization in December 2006.
Effective date for the revised WSE is
January next year.
Mr. Duke said COE has an
aggressi\ e d:e inspection pi ogram-.
\\ith daily inspections \\hen the
lake level reaches 165. Repair
material is read\ at 20 locations
around the dike arid contractors
and COE are ready to respond to
any emergency, he said.
'Mr: Duke-emphasizetl-that, cothi
trary to what had recently, beeh
reported, repair work on the dike
near Port Mayaca has not stopped.
He said there was money to com-
plete this section and start on the
next section. He predicted it would
cost between $5 billion and $10 bil-
lion to bring the dike up to current
safety standards for a dam.
Recently, controversy has raged
over the COE's refusal to release
maps to the public which show the
extent of flooding if the dike fails.
The maps were finally released to
local emergency management offi-
cials, but COE cited security rea-
s6ns for their own refusal to make
them public.
That policy has now changed.
Mr. Duke stated local emergency
management officials may release
the maps to the public if they so
desire. He insisted that COE would
not compromise on public safety.
Larry Carter, assistant deputy
director of operations and mainte-
nance for SFWMD, estimated 10
years for completion of necessary
dike repairs. He urged voters to
pressure congress to speed funding
of the work.
David Roach of the Florida
Inland Navigation District (FIND)
also spoke. FIND is a special taxing
district concerned with the naviga-
tion channel in Lake Okeechobee.
He said that FIND can assist with
funding for general muck removal
from the lake.
Don Fox, biologist with the

Florida Fish ,and Wildlife Conserva-
tion Commission iRFWC), present-
ed a dismal outlook for fishing on
the lake. Because of the sediment
stirred up by two years of hurri-
. canes, the number of black crappie
and largemouth bass in the lake are
at record lows, he said.
Better news was reported by
Susan Gray, Ph.D. deputy director
of SFWMD's watershed manage-
ment department, in her update on
SFWMD projects.. The .district is
studying the feasibility of deep well
injection to store excess water. She
reported that the Lykes Basinger
Groves water storage project, is
operational. The conceptual design
for an S00-acre Seminole Brighton
reservoir storrrm\ater treatment
area (STA') has been completed (A
STA is a planted area designed to
hold water to remove phospho-
rous and pollutants before it enters
a lake or caial.) Ribbon cutting cer-
emonies have recently been held
for the Nubbin Slough and Taylor'
creek STAs. Over 35 projects relat-.
ed to Lake Okeechobee and Ever-
glades improvement have been
completed and a total of $487.2
million is being spent .on eight con-
struction projects now under way.
"We have a lot to do," Dr. Gray
said. "We are by no means
through, but we are working hard."
After debate, commissioners
passed resolution urging the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency to
maintain the requirements for strict
enforcement of the Federal Clean
Water Act and not exempt transfers
of water from one jurisdiction to
another from permitting require-
ments of the National Pollution Dis-
charge Elimination System. The
resolution stated that water trans-
fers without proper treatment to
meet water quality standards
would be detrimental to the Ever-
glades and the Indian River
Lagoon. Commissioners Ward,
Newell and Ken Smith voted
against the resolution.
There was some discussion as
to how this would affect emer-
gency flood discharges. However,
Dr. Paul Gray of the Audubon Soci-
ety, contacted after the meeting,
said the resolution would not affect
emergency discharges.

Landscaping helps protect the water

By Ed Ayen
Florida Yards & Neighborhood
Florida is blessed with all sorts
of splendid waterfronts; especial-
ly here in the south-central area.
Florida-Friendly yards located on
a waterfront must address certain
challenges and responsibilities.
So if you live on one of these natu-
ral resource treasures, you must
make it your mission to practice
good environmental stewardship.
Homeowners are encouraged
to leave a 10 foot "maintenance
free zone" along the waterfront to
protect the water from pollutants.
Plant native ground covers and
shrubs in this area and don't
mow, or apply fertilizer and pesti-
cides to this zone.
If your property does npt bor-
der or contain a natural water-
way, consider building one. A
pond can add value, beauty and
ecological soundness to your

Florida-Friendly yard. Whether
your pond measures in square
feet or acres, it will contribute sig-
nificantly to wildlife in the area.
Selecting a good pond site
requires evaluating many factors,
including slope, soil type, septic
tank and house foundation set-
backs, and utility easements. Try
to strike a balance between what
your permit allows and what fits
most naturally into the landscape.
All Florida ponds will have
some common characteristics,
such as being located at the low-
est elevation; they are wide and
shallow; and they will have a high
amount of littoral shelf area (shal-
low zone). The shelf area pro-
vides a place for plants to root and
becomes a beehive of pond life
activity. Some native plants suit-
able for stormwater ponds are
Pickerelweed and Spider Lilies. If
your pond is less than four feet
deep it will probably have com-

plete plant coverage, as the sun-
light penetrates to the bottom. A
six to ten foot depth is needed for
open water.
A well built stormwater con-
trol or retention pond can signifi-
cantly improve the quality of
water draining into Florida's
waterways. Runoff may be suc-
cessfully filtered by installing a
series of swales and channels.
before it gets to the pond.
If you manage a pond or
waterway, plant appropriate
aquatic plants to stabilize the soil;
use pond water for non-potable
irrigation needs only; and use a
minimal amount of slow release
fertilizer on the surrounding area.
Also, remember to keep animal
waste out of stormwater ponds
and it may be best to not swim in
or eat fish caught in them.
Remember, nature doesn't recog-
nize property lines. A rainstorm
can wash bare soil, landscape

. debris, gas, oil, fertilizer or pesti-
cides from one yard to another'
and eventually into our water-,
ways.
The Florida Yards and Neigh-
borhoods program is being
implemented through your local
County Extension Service in High-i
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-
their information he can be"

Moore Haven wins from Labelle
by score of 20-13
Moore Haven chalked up a 20 to
13 victory over the LaBelle Cow-
boys in a well played game on the
LaBelle field Friday afternoon. The
most exciting play of the game was
a spectacular 65 yard run by Roy,
Donald Lundy who caught the ball
on the kick-off, and outstripped the
field in the run for a touchdown.
The game started a bit slow, but
the first goal was made following
an 18 yard pass from Milton Adkins
to Kenneth Farnam near the goal
line and Farnam ran the remaining
distance for a touchdown. Adkins
converted with a drop-kick adding
2 points to the score.
Lundy's 65 yard run accounted
for the second TD. The conversion

Little Brother Real Snake

By Barbara Oehlbeck
Special to INI
Billy Moore takes us to another
time in another place in his highly
detailed, action-filled Little Brother
Real Snake.
Young Red Squirrel, an Indian
youth, comes of age in spite of
some who would destroy him. The
son of a respected warrior who
died bravely in battle, Red Squirrel
is slight of stature and a daydream-
er who faces disturbing and fright-
ening trials on his way to man-
hood.
Billy Moore has a way of tugging
at the heart through these trials as
his young hero struggles for self-
knowledge in learning the century
old lessons of his elders.
At one point Billy Moore writes:
Red Squirrel stopped to breathe
deeply and feel the air within him-
self and that around him mingling
and mixing with his spirit.
Finally he found it, the perfect
spot where he felt the peace and the
spirit of the place. He remained per-
fectly still for a time to make sure
this was the proper spot, then he'
opened his eyes. In the center of this
proper spot, he placed dry needles
of cedar, an empty small bird's nest
he'd found in the cedar along with
an armful of limbs from underneath
the cedar and from a fallen
sycamore. He needed enough dry
branches to keep a small fire going
throughout the night.
This had become his special
place. He loved and revered the
lands his people roamed, but here
his spirit connected to the spirit of
the place in a special way. There
was beauty for the eye as well as the

grass that had dried and matted up
from the previous summer.
With real feeling and quiet
imagining, the reader is given an
almost spiritual experience in this
compelling portrait of Native Amer-
ican life that's filled with hope and
comfort.
As in his first book, Cracker's
Mule, Billy Moore has a unique way
of endearing his main character
Red Squirrel, in Little Brother Real
Snake, to the reader. Red Squirrel
lives on long after the reader has
finished the last page.

In spite of armadillos, roses bloom

By Barbara Oehlbeck
Glades County Democrat
In spite of the deer, armadil-
los, and the huge soft shell tur-
tle, our summer roses are splen-
did. The bushes (those that are
left that is) are big and healthy
and not a day goes by without
buds and blooms.
Not long ago, in spring, the
deer came regularly, nipping
and chewing off tender new
growth as well as buds. Every-
thing that was suggested was
tried including the hottest of hot
sauces poured over some of the
tender new growth, black pep-
per, chlorine (the kind that goes
in swimming pools) that was
placed in plastic plates near the
base of the plants, and the
smelliest plants we could find
which turned out to be lantana
in full bloom. The books) on
such things says that deer highly
dislike strong, pungent smells,
so these full-blooming plants
were planted all along the gar-
den and around the biggest
plants. And we got a dog. At first
she, Josie, raised such a ruckus
during the night that I knew not
a deer would come within sight
of the house. Not so. There were
still signs of chewing of new
growth during the night. But:
then, the new growth that did
somewhat survive grew bigger
and stronger and pretty soon
much less damage was noticed.
But then one fine morning, I
go out to see what I can see and
here are no less than five bushes
dug completely out of the
ground, prostrate on the ground
beside the hole they had been
growing in. Since it was early
morning they had not dried out
completely so they were replant-
ed, watered, and shaded. Three
survived the other two gave up.
The next morning, there were
three that had suffered the same
fate... dug up and out of the
ground, their bare roots brown
and dry. Of course they got
replanted also none survived. In
the meantime we'd put out a
Have-A-Heart-Trap for armadil-
los, properly baited and placed
beside another plant. The next
morning, the trap was
untouched but the rose bush
was dug completely out of the
ground with not a spoonful of
soil left on its roots which were
dry and brittle. And I thought:
what's the use. I left the bush,
returned to the house and won-
dered what in the world to do
next. Well, that same afternoon
Josie started barking and gener-
ally raising cane at one end of
the garden. I rushed out to see
what was going on and lo and
behold, there was the problem!
A wash-basin size soft shell tur-
tle scooping out soil and throw-
ing it in a pile right beside my
prize yellow rose that was yet a
name-less variety and it was
lying beside the hole. I had
bought it at Wal-Mart simply
because it was in full bloom and
priced at only $3.98. Of course I
knew it was not a number one
plant and I had no idea of its
identity. I just knew it was too
beautiful to leave there and
couldn't help but think even if it
didn't bloom again its six mag-
nificent blooms and buds were
worth the price.
Did you ever try to move a big
soft shell turtle that didn't want
to be moved?
Finally, a hard spray of water
from the pond hose persuaded
her to "plant" her eggs some-
where else! At least for the time
being. I replanted that bush in
the same hole, then picked up
the other one to put on the born
pile when I noticed a glimmer of
green at the base. Of course by
this time the bush had sloughed
all its leaves and the canes were
as dry as old bones and some-
what wrinkled. On the way to
the burn pile the phone started

ringing and as I passed the door
at the carport, I saw Josie's
water bucket, plunged the plant
in the bucket almost covering
the whole bush, and rushed on
in to answer the phone.
Three days later, again on the
way to the burn pile, I noticed
Josie's bucket with the rose
bush still in it. Upon lifting it out,
much to my surprise, most of
the cane wrinkles had smoothed
out and the canes themselves
were a fairly healthy shade of
green. Of course there was not
one leaf. So I hastily mixed some
good loose soil in a big pot,
planted the bush, placed it in
dapple sun 'n shade and waited.
Now, some three weeks later, it
has leafed out with good strong
foliage, and all five canes are
vibrant green. There's not a bud
as yet but then when canes pro-
duce healthy foliage can buds
and blooms be far behind? We'll
see.
At this point, in late June, it's
still a mystery as to what was
done to discourage all the early
problems. Probably not any one
thing, but a little of each. Maybe
the major one being Josie's
presence.
All this has made me realize
that the joy of roses is not neces-
sarily fed with dozens and
dozens of bushes and hundreds
and hundreds of blooms, but
rather just to have roses, even a
few is a joyful thing. Summer
roses bask in glorious colors,
shapes and sizes and their early
morning and late day fragrances
are beyond description.
Roses are ever sun-loving. If
there is a rose that will bloom
happily in shade I do not know
of it. North Carolina and Florida
experience of growing roses has
shown without any doubt that
the world's most beloved flower,
the rose, must have a minimum
of six hours sun a day. (More of
course is much better.) And yet,
only this month, in a national
magazine, the writer "vowed"
that roses only require four
hours sun a day. Sure makes me
wonder where he got his infor-
mation!
Since summer roses bloom
more often it's highly desirable
to keep them well fed and
watered. The rainy season is fine
for providing water but there's
nothing magic about the consis-
tency of rainwater to keep your
bushes from becoming thirsty. If
you're wondering how you can
tell when they need water, sim-
ply feel of the soil around the
bush and look at the foliage and
new growth closely and careful-
ly. If the soil is dry, they need
water. If the foliage has a papery

appearance and the new growth
is lirnp, your bushes are.thirsty.
Water thoroughly. As to feeding,
any fertilizer formulated for
roses is fine. Sprinkle a half cup-
ful around the entire plant, then
water. And if you're not using
mulch, start now.' You'll need
less water and less fertilizer by
doing so. A layer of mulch 4 to 6
inches thick will do wonders. Do
not place mulch close up
around the trunk or the canes of
the bush. Leave a circle of at
least 8-10 inches so that air and
sunlight can get to the soil
immediately around the bush.
If you're using regular, ordi-
nary fertilizer you'll have more
blooms if it's applied every 4 to 6
weeks. For long-feeding fertiliz-
er, like Osmacote, follow direc-
tions on the package. Which is
better? There really is no differ-
ence if you follow the directions
for both. The long-feeding type
costs considerably more.
And now a word to the wise
about cutting roses. Naturally,
use sharp clippers so as to make
a clean, not ragged cut. Take a
vessel of very warm water with
you to the garden. As soon as

you cut the rose cane, strip the
leaves about half way the length-
of the cane and plunge immedi-
ately into the water. Place the
vessel with roses in the refrigera-
tor until the water becomes the
temperature inside the refrigera-
tor. You can leave them up to
several days without their losing
color, form or fragrance. When
they are removed, cut the stem
again .and arrange in your
favorite vase.
Early in the day is the best
time to cut roses for longevity
and lasting beauty.
Here in this warm climate,
roses bloom the year round.
Naturally in spring they bloom
more prolifically. But it is the
nature of roses to bloom in
cycles which means they pro-
duce through the year. Naturally,
too, there are some cultivars that
are "once-yearly" bloomers, so
don't expect them to be ever-
blooming.
Now, for all those who love
roses but say "they're too much
trouble having to spray, etc.,"
read this carefully: The roses
that produce the most blooms
over longer periods of time (the
life of the bushes), are the
antique roses, roses of yester-
day, old world roses These are
the roses that have li'.ed and
produced" for centuries, so' it
only stands to good reason that
they have weathered the storms
and have become so disease
resistant that no longer are rose
diseases a factor to them. This is
not to say that you'll never see a
blackspot or other diseased leaf.
But it is to say that such "find-
ings" will be few and far
between and will not affect the
rose bush adversely.
In our garden and in the gar-
dens of some we know well,
here are some of the names that
will "win hearts and influence
rose growers": Mrs. B. R. Cant,
Old Blush, Red Cascade, Caden-1
za, Belinda's Dream, Cecilei

The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) are looking to the public
for help in conserving the Florida
manatee population. The agen-
cies are encouraging boaters to
report accidental watercraft colli-
sions with Florida manatees
through a new joint effort.
Agency officials want people
to understand that conserving
manatees is the goal and boaters
can help by voluntarily reporting
incidents involving these animals.
Anyone who strikes a manatee or
observes a manatee being hit by
a boat should call the Commis-
sion's Wildlife Alert hotline at 1-
888-404-3922. Boaters should be
prepared to provide the incident
location, weather conditions,
boat specifications, and other rel-
evant information.
"We want everyone to know
that people who are operating

their boat lawfully and responsibly
should not be afraid to report acci-
dental collisions with manatees,'"
said Ken Haddad, Executive Direc-
tor of the Commission.
While the agencies continue
to try to minimize the number of
manatee deaths and injuries, the
goal and hope of this effort is that
the self-reporting of
manatee/boat collisions will
actually increase, with two signif-
icant benefits. Ongoing local,
state, and federal law enforce-
ment activities will continue
through the joint task forces.
The goals of this self-reporting
are two fold.
First, a quick response may
increase the chance of an injured
animal being rescued, treated suc-
cessfully, and ultimately returned
to their natural habitat.
Second, scientists can gain an
improved understanding of other
boat strikes. If scientists can

match the marks on the animal
with the type of boat or propeller
causing the wound, it will pro-
vide a better understanding of
what kinds of boats, motors, or
other circumstances cause the
most problems for manatees. In
turn, this may allow adjustments
in management practices to pre-
vent such strikes from occurring
or even lead to future design
changes in boats. Presently, there
are only a handful of cases where
the vessel that struck a manatee
is actually known.

Some newspapers seem to take pleasure in the bad news. Not us.

We do print "bad" news. (It IS newsworthy when things go wrong, anc
citizens need to know about problems.)

Still, we give most of our attention to good news the kind you clip ar'
tape to your refrigerator door. (This isn't difficult. The vast majority,
what happens in our community IS good.)

Program rewards good behavior

By Crystal Drake
A Positive Behavior Support
system is now entering its third
year of irrn.'ementation at Moore
Haven Junior/Senior High School.
This group of administrators,
teachers, a professional represen-
tative from Florida Diagnostic and
Learning Resources System
(FDLRS) and a professional repre-
sentative from the Florida Positive
Behavior Support Project (PBS)
are working together to improve
the behavior of students at MHHS
through positive reinforcement
methods instead of traditional
approaches to behavior modifica-
tion.
This group has developed and
implemented incentives over the
past two years. Among those
incentives have been the used of
Terrier bucks which reward stu-
dents for positive behavior with a
special school currency. Students
can then use this currency to pur-
chase special prizes and privileges.
Another incentive implement-
ed by the PBS team was a nine
week reward day that could be
earned by students if they had not
received any discipline referrals.
These days have included movie
days, free special lunches and even
a luau complete with a slip-n-slide.
The group also implemented
an incentive called 'Adopt-a-Terri-
er' this past year. This program
had teachers and other support
staff 'adopt' athletes, band mem-
bers or other extra-curricular
groups for one week. The 'adop-
tion' included small tokens of
appreciation such as gifts, poems,
cookies, drinks, etc. that were
given to students by their assigned
adults. At the end of the week the
student had lunch with his or her
adopted parent. This program
gave staff members and opportu-
nity to show students that their
participation in extra-curricular
activities was supported and
appreciated by the school. If you
would be interested in helping out
with this program next year, please
contact the school.
Another incentive to encourage
positive behavior by students was
called the 'Above and Beyond'
rewards. Faculty members nomi-
nated students and the principal
then awarded coupons that ranged
from free cookies at Subway, free
hamburgers at McDonalds and free
drinks at Chappy's in Lakeport.
The awards were given to students
who exhibited extraordinary
bernha o-. 5, l-ie ,- ih beri-ta ior-i
reu ,red this past ',ear incudiri,
returming found valuablee jewelry,
paying library fines for other stu-
dents and cleaning up voluntarily
after school-wide events.
Teachers were also encouraged
to call parents with positive infor-
mation about students throughout
the year. Teachers also implement-
ed the use of classroom interven-
tion forms to be issued to students

Submitted to GCD/Crystal Drake
"Terrier bucks" are used to reward students for good behavior. These "bucks" can be
redeemed for incentives. A popular incentive included a slip 'n slide.

Salt a little bit goes a long way

Are you consuming too much
sodium?
Do you know how much is too
much?
Sodium is a tricky thing. Some-
times people use the terms, salt
and sodium interchangeably. But
that is not accurate. Salt is more
than just sodium. Salt is a combi-
nation of 40 percent sodium and
60 percent chloride.
Sodium is an essential nutrient
which helps the body regulate
water balance and electrolytes
and is important for nerve con-
duction.
Chloride is also an essential
nutrient. It helps maintain the
acid-base balance in the body,
aids potassium absorption, sup-
plies the essence of digestive
stomach acid, and enhances the
ability of the blood to carry carbon
dioxide to the lungs.

A
Healthier
Life

with Katrina Elsken

If salt also contains iodine, it is
called iodizedd" salt. Before salt
was iodized, iodine deficiencies
were a common health problem.
Goiter, a swelling of the thyroid
gland, visible in the front of the
neck,- is one result of iodine defi-
ciency. Many years ago, public
health programs promoted
adding iodine to salt to get suffi-
cient iodine into the diet of the
general population.

How much sodium a person
needs depends on their size.
The National Academy of Sci-
ences considers 1,500 mg/day of
sodium an "adequate intake."
The American Heart Associa-
tion recommends that for every
1,000 Calories of food consumed,
the sodium intake should be 1,000
mg. So a person on a 1,500 calorie
a day diet should consume no
more than 1,500 mg of sodium.
According to the American Heart
Association, total sodium con-
sumption should not exceed
3,000 mg day.
Because salt is a preservative
and enhances flavor, many
processed foods contain more
salt than the AHA recommends.
That's one reason it's important
to read the labels on processed
foods.
Most Americans consume

more than enough sodium in the
processed foods they eat.
About half of the population is
sodium sensitive that is, consum-
ing too much sodium can result in
an increase in blood pressure.
It is also possible although
not very common to suffer
from sodium deficiency. Gener-
ally those at risk of sodium defi-
ciency are people who partici-
pate in prolonged exercise
without proper hydration. Signs
of sodium deficiency may
include cramps, weakness,
fatigue, nausea and thirst.
Before making any change in
your diet or exercise program,
consult your doctor. This is espe-
cially important if you are on any
prescription medications. Some
drugs interact badly with foods
that would otherwise be consid-
ered "healthy."

vote. Mr. Collier said Waste Man-
agement's own legal counsel had
also been on vacation.
Mr. Collier added that Waste
Management had already racked
up more than $250,000 in legal fees
since negotiations between the
county and the company started.
The board voted 3-2 to invoke
the interim service and declare an
impasse with Waste Management.
In voting against the action,
Commissioner Beck said he was
not going to make a decision when
he only had seven minutes during
the break to learn of the latest stall
in negotiations.
After listening to public com-
ments the chairman having for-
gotten to call for public comments
before the vote with audience
members urging the board to
rescind their motion, two of the
commissioners, Commissioners
Ward and Echols, voted to rescind
their original motion, but were cau-
tioned by the attorney against tak-
ing any further action. '
Both withdrew their motion.

arrangements to shelter the ani-
mals in an emergency evacuation.
They can contact their local agricul-
tural extension agent or emergency
management authorities to find out
about shelters in the area.
Horse owners should also put
the animal's Coggins tests, veteri-
nary papers, identification photo-
graphs and other vital information
in a watertight container. They
should also have a supply of water,
hay, feed and medications for sev-
eral days for each horse being evac-
uated and prepare a basic, portable
first aid kit.
If it is not possible to evacuate a
horse, owners should make sure
every animal has durable and visi-
ble identification, reinforce the
barn and outbuildings with hurri-
cane straps and other measures
and modify fencing and open gates
so that horses can move to high
ground in the event of a flood of
low-lying areas during high winds.
People should have large con-
tainers of water ready for animals,
enough to last at least a week after
the hurricane. Secure anything that
could become blowing debris and
injure the animals.
The Division of Animal Industry
has emergency animal shelter and
other information available on the
web at htip:' -wv doacs.state.fl

Standing over four feet tall,
whooping cranes are the tallest

Cranes can live to be over 30
years old. They form pair bonds
that may endure for many years.
Nests are usually built over stand-
ing water. Within 24 hours of
hatching, the young are capable of
following their parents away from
the nest. Together, they forage for
seeds and roots, crop' plants such
as corn and peanuts, insects,
snakes, frogs and occasionally
young birds or small mammals.
Sandhill cranes (Grus canaden-
sis) are long legged, long necked,
gray, heron-like birds with a patch
of bald red skin on top of their
head. Cranes fly with necks out-
stretched like geese whereas,
herons fly with necks tucked in on

Wildlife Refuge. This critical project
will help to end all discharges into
the Refuge by December 2006.
"The Water Preserve Area proj-
ects remind us how close we really
are to the Everglades. For many
residents in Wellington, it is literally
in their backyards," said Lindahl.
"That's why it is so important for
South Florida residents to under-
stand that their actions really can
make a difference. You can either
contribute to the problem or con-
tribute to the solution.".
The Acme Basin B Discharge
Project will include a new pump
station and improvements to the

Two subspecies of sandhill crane
occur in Florida. The Florida sand-
hill crane (G. c. pratensis) is a year-

greater sandhill crane (G. c. tabida)
is the larger of the two subspecies
and winters in Florida but, nests in
the Great Lakes region. Sandhill
cranes nest during late winter and
spring on mats of vegetation about
two feet in diameter and in shallow
water. Two eggs are normally laid.
Cranes are monogamous breeders.

IResident sandhill cranes are
usually seen in very small groups or
pairs. In November and December,
however, large flocks of northern
cranes move in, more than dou-
bling the population in the state
and then leave during March and
April. The sandhill crane is a close
relative to the nearly extinct
whooping crane, which is being
reintroduced into the state. Young
sandhills weigh about twelve
pounds, males are larger than
females, but external markings are
identical. Cranes live to be older
than most birds, some reaching 20
years old.

Storm season is here:

Is your yard ready?

JUNO BEACH With hurri-
cane season officially starting
June 1, Florida Power & Light
Company offers hurricane prepa-
ration advice to help residents
save their trees while reducing
the risk of tree-related outages.
"We love our trees here in
Florida," said Steve Anderson,
vegetation specialist for FPL. But
the last two storm seasons
claimed many, and -some
knocked over power lines, caus-
ing power disruptions and safety
hazards. "A little planning will go
a long way toward protecting our
trees, our property and our safe-
ty," said Anderson.
FPL recommends the follow-
ing tips to prepare Florida resi-
dents and their trees for the
upcoming storm season while
minimizing the likelihood that
trees will interfere with power
lines and disrupt electrical serv-
ice:
Now is the time, before a hur-
ricane threatens, to survey and
prepare your yard. Look for dead
or weakened branches that could
snap during a storm and begin
pruning to help trees better with-
stand high winds.
If you do see a tree tangled
in or too close to a power line,
don't try and trim it yourself. Only
specially trained line clearing pro-
fessionals should work around
power lines. :
If a tree or branch has dam-
aged a pole or line, creating
sparks or a po\\ er outage, call 1-
800-4-OUTAGE to report the
problem.

Seacoast National Bank has new Web site

New name, new image, new
website, Seacoast National Bank
has redesigned its Web site for a
refreshed brand identity.
"Giving the website an updat-
ed look is part of an extensive
process that comes with the ter-
ritory when a $2.5 billion pub-
licly traded regional bank with
41 branches changes its name,"
said Susan Bergstrom, senior
vice president of marketing.
The site, located at www.sea-
coastnational.com, receives on
average 3,500 hits a day. When

the bank completed its merger
with Big Lake National Bank on
June 5, the number of visitors to
the site nearly doubled to just
over 6,000 for the first two weeks
in June, creating another oppor-
tunity to create brand awareness
in the newly gained South/Cen-
tral Florida market.
The new website connects
Seacoast National Bank cus-
tomers to a wealth of personal
and business banking services.
The Bank's free online banking
service, available 24/7, provides

customers with balance
inquiries, wire transfers, cash
management, online bill pay,
online applications, calculators,
an online mortgage application
and the most recent addition,
online check images.
Over 20 percent of Seacoast
National Bank personal banking
clients and 15 percent of its busi-
ness clients bank online. Of
online users, 16 percent take
advantage of the free online bill
pay service.
"As online services such as

banking and bill pay continue
rise in popularity, marketing our
website and the online banking
tools are critical components to
providing value to our cus-
tomers' banking experience,"
said Ms. Bergstrom.
The operating arm of Sea-
coast Banking Corporation of
Florida (NASDAQ: SBCF) Sea-
coast National Bank has 41
branches in Florida and $2.5 bil-
lion in assets, and is one of the
largest independent banks head-
quartered in Florida.

WEST PALM BEACH Con-
sumer Credit Counseling Service
(CCCS) of Palm Beach County
and the Treasure Coast, a branch
y of CCCS of Atlanta, Ga., and the
CredAbility Network, is now offer-
ing online bankruptcy counseling
and education in Spanish. This.
unique, completely interactive
service is available through the
INI agency's Web sites: www.ccc-
'ry sinc.org and at www.cccsenes-
ed panol.org.
at The CredAbility Network of
CCCS agencies in North Georgia,
South Florida, East Tennessee and
central Mississippi is committed
S to helping bankruptcy clients and
their attorneys meet the credit
counseling and education
requirements by the Bankruptcy

Abuse Prevention and Consumer
Protection Act, which took effect
Oct. 17,2005.
"We are happy to be able to fill
the requests for Spanish service
we have been receiving since last
fall when we were approved to
provide bankruptcy counseling,"
said Jessica Cecere, president of
CCCS of Palm Beach County.
"Helping bilingual consumers
with critical financial issues in
their first language is an important
part of serving our service deliv-
ery model," Ms. Cecere said.
Increased service to bilingual
consumers is a logical progres-
sion for CCCS; the agency began
counseling in Spanish in 1996 and
has maintained one of the few
financial education Web sites in

Spanish since 2003, providing
helpful tips to more than 2,000
Spanish-speakers each month.
"We are also pleased to be
able to provide the required edu-
cation course online in Spanish,"
said Christie Hardcastle, Hispanic
outreach coordinator for CCCS
Palm Beach County. Credit coun-
seling within 180 days of filing for
bankruptcy protection and pre-
discharge education are both
required by new law.
Bankruptcy pre-filing counsel-
ing costs $50 per household and
is available online, via telephone
or in-person in 17 offices in Cred-
Ability service areas of north
Georgia, south Florida, east Ten-
nessee and central Mississippi.
The pre-discharge education

course also costs $50 per house-
hold and is available online or in
classroom settings in CredAbility
service areas.
As a leading national provider
of bankruptcy counseling and
education, CCCS is setting the
standard for bilingual service
online, over the telephone and
through its branch office network
and community education sites.
For the past ten years, CCCS Palm
Beach County has been providing
Hispanic outreach services, with
support from community and
financial organizations. The Cred-
Ability Network served more than
132,000 people in 2005; about 10
percent of this education and
counseling was in Spanish.

CLEWISTON Thanks to
the Ladies Auxiliary at Hendry
Regional Medical Center, the lab
Snow has some additional state-
of-the-art equipment. The Auxil-
iary has raised more than $6,000
towards the purchase of:
*. Phlebotomy Drawing
Chair: The new phlebotomy
.chair enables patients to sit
more comfortably in a sturdy,
larger chair as their blood is
drawn;
Electronic Cell Counter:
The replacement cell counter is
being used to manually identify
and count white blood cells;
High/low thermometers:
Two thermometers were placed
in the different locations of the
laboratory to monitor the range
of the room temperature; and
Digital scales: This new
scale is being used to weigh
specimens, chemicals, and
blood products.
I The Auxiliary uses proceeds
from the gift shop to make pur-
chases for the hospital. In prior
years, purchases have included
surgical blood pressure moni-
tors and bed-chairs for family
members. If you visit the hospi-

tal lobby, you can admire their.
purchase from last year the
beautiful new furniture, lamps
and other amenities.
Consisting of approximately
ten volunteers who provide their
services as frequently as their
schedules will allow, these
women are recognized primarily
by their pink smocks. They work
behind the scenes and are not
often in the limelight. During
National Volunteer Week, the
hospital hosts an Auxiliary Tea,
and employees rotate through to
thank the volunteers for.-their
hard work and contributions.
Although they are located
most often in the gift shop, the
Auxiliary has offered their assis-
tance in other departments as
well. They may be seen folding
towels, providing directions, or
making copies. These volun-
teers represent our hospital in
the most cheerful, helpful and
friendly manner. Patients, visi-
tors, hospital personnel, and
other volunteers are treated with
courtesy and respect all
times. The Auxiliary is truly an
asset to Hendry Regional Med-
ical Center.

Harbor Federal helps families keep in touch

FORT PIERCE Keeping with
its strong commitment of service
to each of the communities it
serves, Harbor Federal's 40 branch
locations are helping local families
stay in touch with loved ones serv-
ing in the Armed Forces overseas.
Mary Rose Cuoco, Assistant
Vice President and Branch Man-
ager of Harbor Federal's Virginia
Avenue office in Fort Pierce
worked with Garry Schwartz, a
local veteran, and the Fort Pierce
Police-Athletic-League (PAL) to
bring the program into South
Florida.
"If they [soldiers and their fami-
lies] can't be giving each other a
hug at night," said Ms. Cuoco, "at
least they can call each other."
In late March 2006, Ms. Cuoco
arranged for 14 Harbor Federal
branch locations in Martin and St.
Lucie Counties to become drop off
points for donated cell phones.
The program has been received so
well that Ms. Cuoco and Harbor
Federal extended the program to
all 40 Harbor Federal locations in
eight contiguous counties in East
Central Florida last week.
The collection drive is part of a
nationwide program started by

two Massachusetts children, 13-
year-old Brittany Bergquist and her
12-year-old brother Robbie. After
hearing a news report about a
local soldier who ran up a massive
phone bill calling home from Iraq,
the children decided they wanted
to help. They used $21.00 of piggy
bank money and collected snack
money from school friends to
open a bank account. The South
Shore Savings Bank, Hanover, MA
donated another $500.00 to help
iliemi gel stuiled
The cell phones and beepers
are collected weekly at Harbor

Federal offices. Schwartz picks
them up from the Virginia Avenue
location, packages them, and then
sends them to a recycling compa-
ny. The money made from selling
the phones and parts buys 60-
minute prepaid phone cards. After
all the minutes are used up, the
cards can be refilled online at the
program's web site at www.cell-
phonrisoi soldier s.com. "To date
over 637 phones and 600 chargers
have : been- collected which
equates to. more than 200 phone
cards," said Schwarjz.

Parables show the call to all of us Doc Savvy's Pet Corner

By Rev. Samuel S. Thomas,
Ph.D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
There is a Biblical example
about two sons; one who tells
his father he will do some work
in the family vineyard but does-
n't do it, and the other who tells
his father he won't do what is
asked but then goes ahead and
does it. Matthew 21:28f0. After-
ward, the question was" asked
was "Which of the two did what
his father wanted? (v.31)" and
everyone affirms "The first!"
Actions speak louder than
words!
It is..curious that the Lord
Himself was asked to help out at
a wedding but refused to give a
hand. He attended a wedding
with his mother and disciples at
Cana (John 2:Iff) and his moth-
er tells Jesus "They have no
more wine." This is a simple
statement of fact as it is written;
no call to do anything, just
telling about something that has
occurred. Jesus, however, takes
it to mean that He. should do
something, and He tells His
mother "Dear woman, why do

you involve me? ... My time has
not yet come (v.4)." It seems
that what was expressed as a
simple state-
ment has been A'"
heard as a
request to do .- .
something.
The request
brings a ques-
tion with a
meaning of its'
own "I don't Samel S.
want to partic- Samuel-
ipate." Thomas
Now, the following verse tells
about Jesus' mother once more,
simply ignoring the rebuff and
telling the servants "Do whatev-
er He tells you."
It seems that the lady has a
son who has a need pointed out
to Him but He says He won't do
anything. Then, Jesus says, "Fill
the jars with water" with each of
them holding 20 to 30 gallons of
water. Soon, there is enough
wine to quench the thirst of quite
a crowd, and good stuff too!
In spite of the rebuff and
unwillingness, the miracle occurs;
the Son does the will of the moth-
er in this lesson and helps.

_ I suspect the father in.the first
story from Matthew would have
known his sons well enough to
know which one would help out
and which one would not; and it
was evident in the story of
Mary's son that He would help
out too. She is a mother
endowed with some wisdom;
she ignores the protests and the
complaints because she knows
how things will come out.
All of us listen to people com-
plain about taxes, or about the
high price of gas, or about not
wanting to do something and all
the while knowing the taxes will
be paid, or the gas will be
bought, or the job will get done
around the house.
There is another parable
when Jesus tells' Peter to. put
down his fishing nets for a catch.
Peter says "Master, we've
worked hard all night and
haven't caught anything. "(Luke
5:5) but then adds "But because
you say so, I will let down the
nets." The catch was over-
whelming and they had to call
others to help them bring it in.
There is something about
human nature here; we com-

There's no use in reinventing the wheel

By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
"There's no use reinventing
the wheel." Literally, it implies
that the wheel works so well that
there is no need to look for
something new to replace it. Fig-
uratively, we know it means that
for whatever situation we are
facing; there is no need to spend
time and effort redoing some-
thing that has already been
done, and done successfully.
Even though there's no point
in reinventing the wheel, it's not
to say that people don't keep try-
ing. The Patent and Trademark
Office in Alexandria, Virginia has
received thousands of applica-
tions for wheel patents over the
years. These applications
include pages and pages of
descriptions, detailed drawings,
etc. and often involve designs
that call for the production of a
lighter, stronger, and better han-
dling wheel. None of the appli-
cations received, however,, are
for replacing the wheel. They
suggest making it from different
materials, connecting it differ-
ently, or even adding a
whatchamaycallit, but all of the
applications include a circular
apparatus that moves itself and
whatever might be connected to
it by rolling.
Some 2000 years ago, the
Apostle Paul shared with us
what keeps community moving
itself and rolling. It's found in
Ephesians 4:25-5:2, and like the
saying goes, "there's no point in
reinventing the wheel."
Yes, there are things we might
say differently today, but Paul's
prescription to, "be truthful, not

let the sun go down on our anger
and let the anger turn sinful, not
steal, work honestly, share with
the needy, not talk trash, deal
with others with kindness and
forgiveness, live a godly life, etc."
is the right
counsel for life
together in
community -
then and now.
Truth be
told, there are
a lot of people
who don't live
that way. We .
only have to John
look at the Hicks
news stands or
watch the television to realize
that some people, politicians,
publications, and shows have
made trash-talk their currency.
Some have suggested that we
live in a society where the
wheels have come off and ous
vehicle of life is up on blocks. If
that's so, maybe we need to put
the wheels back on. On the
other hand, maybe our tires are
,okay, but we have the wrong set
of tires for the vehicle we are try-
ing to drive. We're a small
church trying to be a big church.
We're a pews-and-hymnal
church trying to be a keyboard-
and-tambourine church. Maybe
we need mud tires to help get us
.out of the rut we've dug our-
selves into and move forward.
Or, maybe we just need fresh
wheels. In NASCAR, one of the
significant moments in every
race is the timing of when the
driver heads into the pits to get
gassed up and their wheels
changed. If the race is going to
be finished, the tires have to be

changed.
Then again, perhaps all we
need to do is check the air. I
know that our faith, like other
tires on our vehicle of life, needs
to be re-inflated from time to
time. It needs the renewal of
fresh prayer, the revitalization
that comes from delving anew
into the Scriptures, and the
restoration that comes from
being in worship and fellowship.
Other parts of our lives may need
re-inflating as well.
It isn't that we need to rein-
vent the wheels of community.
Paul described them 2,000 years
ago, and nobody has been able
to improve upon them since.
Perhaps we just need to focus
on putting them into action and
making sure they don't go flat.

comes because we are asked to

desperate need or rearranging a
schedule to accommodate
someone who is hurting; com-
mon to all of us and a testimony
to God being in us.
The passage about the wed-
ding in Canna has been a wit-
ness to me that even the Lord
Himself was not without His
moments of not wanting to
help; and someone at His side
who seemed to know Him bet-
ter than He knew Himself at that
moment. He saved the day; she
knew He would. How many
times I've been rewarded by the
'"Thanks" or the grateful smile of
the person who took me a bit
out of my way. So have you, too!

Question: Dear Doc Sawvvy. Hello
my name is Sara, and I'm thinking
about getting a little dog from the
pound. 1 am a professional and am
very dedicated to my field. My hus-
band is a professional too, and
works out of the home. He takes
care of so many of the every day
things in order to make my life easi-
er. He said he'd like a little dog too.
However, how do you know when
you are really ready for the respon-
sibilities of a little dog? We don't
want to make a rash choice.
Thanks for your time. Sara and
Josh.
Answer: Well hey! First of all I
want to say ... Your husband
sounds like a wonderful man!
Things sound like the two of you
really compliment each other.
Does Josh have a brother?.
Ok now to answer your ques-
tion, taking on the responsibility of
a little dog is a lot more than just
kibble, walks and water. You have
to want to make the time for the
extra stuff. Stuff like time, attention
and love. All dogs need that to
enable them to grow. Just like kids!
The more you are able to give of
yourself, the more character, and
personality a dog will have.So, can
you do it? Yes! Do you have the
time? Yes! As long as you don't live
your life by excuses of why you
can't. Hmmm. Maybe were getting
a bit past the point of Veterinary

Citrus growers receive

canker compensation

U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) announced earlier this
month it would release $100 mil-
lion in citrus canker compensation
to growers. The .announcement
came the same week it issued an
interim rule prohibiting Florida cit-
rus shipments to the citrus produc-
ing states of Alabama, Arizona, Cal-
ifornia, Hawaii, Louisiana and
Texas. Florida citrus will also be
banned from some citrus-produc-
ing territories including American
Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana
Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
An Alabama official told
reporters, however, that his state
will not go along with the ban.
The ban affects fresh oranges,

tangerines, grapefruits and tange-
los, and is expected to begin with
the August harvest season.
USDA said it will seek public
comments before a final rule is set
in place.
Florida Governor Jeb Bush
called the ban "overkill" that does-
n't make scientific sense. He said
he would send state officials to
Washington, D.C. to try and per-
suade USDA to modify the rule to
allow shipments to at least those
parts of the states where citrus is
not.produced.
Florida Agriculture Commis-
sioner Charles Bronson told
reporters he was worried that the
ban might lead to loss of export
markets, particularly Europe.

Biofuels a nature for Florida agriculture

TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson is taking
steps to promote alternative ener-
gy and help position Florida as a
leader in the field of biofuels. Mr.
Bronson will host a conference to
bring together the various ele-
ments critical to successful alterna-
tive energy programs to be held
Aug. 31 through Sept. 1 in Orlan-
do. The event will serve as a forum
for researchers, industry represen-
tatives and policymakers to dis-
cuss the production, distribution
and use of biofuels, particularly
ethanol, in Florida.

"With gas prices near record
levels and demand for cheaper
and cleaner fuels growing, we
hope to bring together the neces-
sary parties to make production
and distribution of ethanol and
biodiesel a reality in Florida," Mr.
Bronson said. "The time for dis-
cussing the need for alternative
energies is over, now we must take
steps to bring the ideas to fruition."
Several companies have
already announced plans to build
ethanol plants in Florida and a
number of others have expressed
interest. Mr. Bronson hosted a con-
ference in January in Tallahassee
where he discussed his depart-

ment's "Farm to Fuel" program, as
well as the national "25 by '25"
program which seeks to have the
agriculture producing 25 percent
of the energy consumed in the
United States by the year 2025. Me.
Bronson's Farm to Fuel Program is
designed to assist Florida farmers
and ranchers in producing bio-fuel
crops to reduce the nation's
dependency on foreign oil.
"Locating ethanol production
facilities here will reduce our
dependency on petroleum, offer
a more economical alternative,
and create jobs and economic
development," Mr. Bronson said.
"In addition, this will expand

markets for our agriculture
industry in the form of energy
crops and productive use of agri-
cultural waste products."
The conference comes on the
heels of the Florida Legislature
passing comprehensive energy
legislation, much of which is
directed toward promoting
renewable energy and providing
a number of grants and incen-
tives programs.

"Farm to Fuel" program and the

Florida's climate leads to summer rains

By Dr. James O'Brien
Florida State University
TALLAHASSEE The drought
conditions that have plagued our
state for the last several weeks have
affected our homes, businesses and
daily lives in many ways, the most
notable being increased wildfire
activity, particularly along the 1-95
corridor in East Central Florida. This
dry weather is ultimately rooted in
the climate patterns that develop
over several months and stretch
from the Pacific Ocean to the Sun-
shine State. Climatologists ,by mon-
itoring weather trends and the state
of the Pacific Ocean are able to pre-
dict seasonal climate patterns up to
several months in advance.
While it is impossible to predict
exactly when the summer rains \\ill
come, climatologists examine his-
torical patterns and current weath-
er conditions, to project the proba-
bility that those weather changes
may occur. Climatological studies
are not taker lightly, and many in
the field spend considerable time
providing, forecast information

resources to our local officials, fire
personnel, farmers, and citizens.
Our data is drawn from weather
monitoring facilities located
throughout our state, reported in
real-time to climate and weather
analysts who can make changes
and updates to their analysis.
Historically, Florida has always
been noted for warm, dry winters
that lead to wet summers. As resi-
dents of this beautiful state, we are
well aware that our warm winters
provide incredible weather condi-
tions while our neighbors to the
north freeze, and our summers
produce rains that generate lush
plant life for our homes and farms.
, Examining our seasons from a
multitude of factors is paramount
to climatologists. Among these fac-
tors, the surface temperature of the
tropical Pacific Ocean has the
strongest and most identifiable
influence on Florida's seasonal cli-
mate patterns. El Niflo refers to
warmer than normal Pacific Ocean
temperatures and is well-known
for bringing copious rainfall and
cooler temperatures to the state in

the winter and spring seasons. La
Nifia refers to colder than normal
sea surface temperatures in the
same region and corresponds to
warmer and relatively dry winter
and spring seasons. Neutral refers
to the ocean state when sea surface
temperatures are close to normal.
We have recently transitioned from
a period of La Nifia, which was pri-
marily responsible for the dry con-
ditions the state experienced the
last few months, to Neutral, which
nor majizes weather r in the summer
with warm temperatures and
increased moisture. As we move
towards the summer months, we
can all expect the weather to reflect
the hot and humid conditions We
have grown to love.
A closer examination of Flori-
da's current climate reveals that the
Neutral phase we are currently
under also corresponds to variable
temperatures and rainfall patterns
that average out closer to normal
over the course of the summer sea-
son. The afternoon rains we are so
accustomed to sometimes take the
form of frequent thundershowers,

which typically begin later this
month or early June and increase
in frequency as the summer pro-
gresses.
The current analysis indicates
that there is nothing preventing
seasonal thundershowers from
arriving on time and in adequate
amounts. For example, over the
last 10 years, Florida's precipitation
from May to June has increased
every year, almost seven inches last
year alone.
It should be reiterated that the
timing of exact weather changes is
difficult to ascertain, but what
should bring comfort to us as
Floridians is that our climate, our
long term weather history, is
steeped in a pattern of dry winters
and rain filled summers. Those pro-
jected rains will bring relief to Flori-
da's citizens.
Dr. James O'Brien is the Robert
0. Lawton Distinguished Professor
of Meteorology & Oceanography at
Florida State University. He also
serves as Director for the Center for
Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction
Studies.

Reno addresses Democrats

Former United State Attorney
General Janet Reno, was the
keynote speaker at the joint
Hendry County and Glades
County Democratic Executive
Committees' Jefferson Jackson
Dinner held at the John Boy
Auditorium June 9.
Ms. Reno, appointed by Presi-
dent Bill Clinton as the first
women to serve as Attorney Gen-
eral, spoke about her fond mem-
ories of Clewiston when she was
here many years ago, arriving by
boat. She and her family mem-
bers stayed at the Clewiston Inn
and she would always remember
the kindness of the people of this
city. She spoke of the exquisite-
ness of Lake Okeechobee and
surrounding areas, and the
importance of restoring its beau-
ty, while delivering a strong mes-
sage about education, and fact
that today's Baby .Boomers rep-
resent the growing senior citizen
population and that we need to
recognize the importance of car-
ing for our seniors. The over 130
people who attended gave her a
standing ovation.
Democratic hopefuls for gov-
ernor, State Senator Rod Smith,.
and Peggy Davis, wife of U.S. Con-

Submitted to INI
Janet Reno (center) spoke at the Hendry County and Glades
County Jefferson Jackson Dinner. Also pictured are Ellen
Hawk Geake, Glades County DEC chair, and Grenville
Williams, Hendry County DEC chair.

gressman Jim Davis spoke to the
crowd. State Senator Skip Camp-
bell, the only democrat running
for Attorney General of Florida,
also addressed the crowd. Master
of Ceremonies, State Senator
Dave Aronberg, conveyed a posi-
tive message of a united demo-
cratic party. Mr. Aronberg, chair-
man of the Florida Mainstream

Democrats, urged a coming
together of Democrats of various
beliefs to strengthen the party.
Hendry County party chair-
man, Grenville Williams, and
Glades County chairwoman,
Ellen Hawk Geake, were very
pleased with the success of the
first joint venture of their organi-
zations.

Pogy Bill was colorful part of

Lake Okeechobee are history

Edited by MaryAnn Morris
From 1977 until her death in
2003, Independent Newspapers
of Florida was privileged to have
on staff a superb writer and his-
torian, Twila Valentine. Mrs.
Valentine wrote much about the
history of the people and places
around Lake Okeechobee and
about the lake itself. Together
with Okeechobee's Betty
Williamson, President of the
Okeechobee Historical Society,
she co-authored a book, now in
its second printing, "Strolling
down Country Roads in Okee-
chobee."
The following article came
from several articles and Mrs.
Valentine's notes about Pogy Bill
Collins and Albert Berka.
Albert Berka was a Vienesse
baker who came down to Okee-
chobee by way of Titusville

opened a dry goods store and
married Faith, one of the Rauler-

his bakery next door to Uncle

He did a good business and

Recollections
A series about Florida's
pioneers and history

even had a boat delivering his
baked goods to the fishing
camps along the lake and all the
way to Moore Haven. When
Conner's Highway (SR 70)
opened on July 5, 1924, Albert
Berka baked the cakes and pies
and breads for the barbeque
held at Mr. Conner's place. He
also supplied the bread and pies
to Mr. Bryant's "Rough House"
on Taylor Creek, just outside
town,u House
o Mr. Bryant' Rou gh House
was.a favorite haulj of Pogy Bill
and his pals.
Pogy Bill Collins was a young,
head-drinking hard-fighting
roughneck who grew up hard
on the wrong side of the tracks
and usually, the wrong side of
the law. He came to Okee-
chobee probably around 1910
and found that the free-wheeling
life of commercial fishing on the

lake offered the ready cash and
the weekend freedom to enjoy
his favorite pastimes: drinking
and fist-fighting.
Albert supplied the bread the
bread and pies which strong
liquors washed down the gullets
of fishermen ag they gambled.
One time, Mr. Bryant failed to
receive the orders Albert sent
out in large baskets by his
helper. A group of drunken fish-
ermen set upon the pool errand
box\ before- he reached the
Rough House. The boy escaped
through ;he scrub, but the bread
and pies met an untimely end in
the dirt of the road. Albert was
enraged.
He rushed to Taylor's Creek
to be welcomed by Pogy Bill's
remark to the boys, 'Here comes
Albert; now you're going to
catch hell!' Damages were slow
in being collected until Pogy Bill
assumed'commaid of the situa-
tion, 'Anyone leaving' this place
admits he done it,' he asserted,
thereby gluing every foot to the
spot. 'Now,' continued the self-
proclaimed judge, jury and exe-
cutioner, 'every fella give Albert
$5 for his pies!' Hands dove
down into pockets and $75
came down on the table. The
baker was content.

Prepare for hurricanes now

By Audrey Blackwell
INI FLORIDA
With the start of hurricane
season, people are starting to
think seriously about stocking
up on supplies and which sup-
plies are necessary.
Below is a list of must haves,
along with tips on storage.
Prepare a hurricane supply
kit in plastic containers with lids
so they will be portable, yet
easy to store. Make a checklist
of necessary items and keep it
handy with the containers. Rec-
ommended items to have ready,
according to the Southern
Region Headquarters of Nation-
al Oceanic & Atmospheric
Administration, (NOAA)
include:
cash or travelers checks;
lantern with extra fuel;
first aid kit with bandages,
scissors, petroleum jelly, anti-.
septic spray, hydrogen perox-
ide, antacids, aspirin, ther-
mometer, rubbing alcohol and
anti-diarrhea medication;
matches;
mosquito repellent;
food and supplies (at least
a three-day supply): drinking
water (1 gal/person/day), food
(canned or dried requiring no
cooking or refrigeration), man-
ual can opener, disposable eat-
ing utensils and plates;.
hygiene items: soap (hand
sanitizer), personal hygiene
items, towelettes or paper tow-
els, plastic trash bags;
documents: important
telephone numbers, bank
books or account numbers,
legal 'documents (family
records of birth, marriage,
death, will, insurance, con-
tracts, deeds, etc.), credit card
numbers and companies, pass-
port, social security cards,.
immunization records, comput-
er, information, family pictures,
household goods inventory;
flashlight for each person
with extra batteries;
tarp (for temporary roof
repair);
tools and repair supplies:
hammer, nails, ax, knife, pliers,-
handsaw, screwdrivers, heavy
gloves;
sunglasses and sunscreen;
baby supplies: formula,
bottles, powdered milk, dia-
pers, medication;
pet supplies: food, leash
and carrier, vaccination records,
food and water containers.,

For more information about
hurricane preparedness from
NOAA, visit 'the web at
www.srh.noaa.gov.
The Red Cross website rec-
ommends folding beach chairs
for sleeping in case you need to
go to a shelter. For more, visit
their Web site at www.red-
cross.org.
The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture's Web site hosts a con-
sumer alert for keeping food
safe during and after a weather
emergency that was posted
ahead of the 2004 hurricane
season. The information was
made available to help reduce
the potential of food-borne ill-
ness due to food spoilage from
power outages and other prob-
lems associated with severe
weather events.
Steps they recommend for
food safety include the follow-
ing:
Keep an appliance ther-
mometer in the refrigerator and
freezer to help determine the
safety of food.
Make sure the freezer is at
or below 0 degrees F and refrig-
erator is at or below 40 degrees
F.
Freeze containers of water
to help keep food cold in the
freezer, refrigerator coolers if
the power goes out.
Freeze refrigerated items
such as leftovers, milk and fresh
meat and poultry that are not
needed immediately to keep
them at a safe temperature
longer.
e Plan ahead and know
where dry ice and block ice can
be purchased.
Store food on shelves safe-
ly out of the way of contaminat-
ed water in case of flooding.
Have coolers on hand to
keep refrigerated food cold if
power is out more than four
hours. Make/get ice cubes and
gel packs ahead of time for use
in coolers.
Group food together in the
freezer. This helps the food stay
cold longer.
After the weather emer-
gency:
Keep refrigerator and
freezer doors closed as much as
possible to maintain the cold
temperature.
The refrigerator will keep
unopened food safely cold for
about four hours. A full freezer
will hold the temperature for
about 48 hours 24 hours if it

is half-full and door stays
closed.
Food may be safely
refrozen if it still contains ice
crystals or is at 40 degrees F or
below.
Never taste food to deter-
mine its safety!
Obtain dry or block ice to
keep refrigerator and freezer as
cold as possible if the power is
going to be out for a prolonged
period of time. Fifty pounds of
dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-
foot full freezer for two days..
If the power has been out
for several days, check the tem-
perature of the freezer with an
appliance or food thermometer.
If the food still contains ice crys-
tals or is at 40 degrees F or
below, the food should be safe.
If a thermometer has not
been kept in the freezer, check
each package of food to deter-
mine its safety. If the food still
contains ice crystals,, the food
should be safe.
Discard refrigerated per-
ishable food such as meat,
poultry, fish, soft cheese, milk,
eggs, leftovers and deli items
after four hours without power.
Drink only bottled water if
flooding has occurred.
Discard all food that came
in contact with flood water;
including canned goods.
Discard wooden cutting
boards, plastic utensils, baby
bottle nipples, and pacifiers.
Thoroughly wash all metal
pans, ceramic dishes and uten-
sils that came in contact with
flood water with hot soapy
water and sanitize by boiling
them in clean water or by
immersing them for 15 minutes
in a solution of chlorine bleach
per quart of water.
*o WHEN IN DOUBT,
THROWITOUT!

Pet owners must plan ahead

By Loma Jablonski
INI Florida
According to the A.-nencan Pet
Products Manufacturers Associa-
tion 2003-2004 National Pet Own-
ers Survey, 39 percent, or 40.6 mil-
lion households in the U.S., o'nTi at
least one dog. Thirty-four percent
- or 35.4 million households -
own at least one cat.
' The Lake Okeechobee area has
more than its share of pets.
With the official start of the 2006
hurricane season here, pet owners
need to begin making plans on
what to do with their pets in the
event storm heads this way.
Unfortunately, there are very
few motels-that will accept pets if a
homeowner is forced to evacuate
his/her home.
Begin checking with motels out
of the area now, in case you must
evacuate.Some in the Orlando and
Kissimmee area will take pets.
Know where they are and how to'
get to Them if a hurricane is headed
this direction.
* Keep in mind, if power is lost to
most of the town, veterinary facili-
ties may also be without water and
power.
If you do not want to be separat-
'd from your pet, there are plans
you should make well in advance
of any storm.
When preparing a hurricane
supply kit for your family, prepare
one for your pet as well.
* Make sure to include enough
non-perishable food, water and
whatever medication your pet may
l5e on for.a month.
* If you know that your pet
becomes overly agitated during a
4torm, contact your regular veteri-
narian to see if he or she recom-
mends a tranquilizer or some other
Wvay of calming the pet. A veterinar-
ian will not prescribe tranquilizers

for a pet he or she has never seen.
Have a sturdy cage or carrier
to comfortable hold your pet, as
;well as a collar and leash
Have all pet vaccinations up-
to-date, and keep records of these.
vaccinations in a safe place.
Take several good pictures of
your pets in the event you become
separated from them. You will need
the pictures to identify them later.
Place identification on the pet's col-.
lar or halter. Some local residents
painted their telephone numbers
on their horses' sides in the event
thie horses got out of their pastures.
On the subject of pastures, it is
advisable to leave your large ani-
mals such as horses, cows,
goats, .etq. out in their pastures
instead of locked ip.,a.barn. Many
animals died needlessly during the
last two hurricane seasons because
barns collapsed and trapped them
inside. Make sure that the fences
and gates are in good repair. Have
clean after r available for them.
Toss them extra hay to keep them
busy Purchase enough feed and
medication to last for two to three
wveks following the storm, as feed
trucks may not be able to deliver
supplies. After the storm, check

/

your pasture. If it is flooded, move
the horses to high ground to pre-
vent hoof problems. If possible,
walk the pasture to check for any
debris that could injure your ani-
mals. %\nile checking for debris,
also re-checkyour fepces to be sure
that they are still intact.
If yot have aquariums, keep
in mind that when power goes out
the filters, pumps and aerators will
not work. Fish can only go a short
time without air in their Water.
Make a visit to your local bait or
tackle shop and purchase several
fishing aerators. They normally
take two D-sized batteries for each
unit. When your power goes out,
use the aerators in your aquarium.
They saved a great deal of fish over
the past two hurricane seasons.
One local aquarium owner
explained that he used two aera-
tors for his 55-gallon aquarium. He
changed the batteries three times
and kept all of his fish alive until the
power was restored at his home
eight days later.
-No matter what you decide to
do with your pets, make your plans
now. Consult your veterinarians
with any concerns or questions
you may have.
