GCSO seeks COP volunteers


By Jose Jesus Zaragoza
Glades County Democrat
GLADES COUNTY Glades
County Sheriff Stuart Whiddon
is looking for a few good com-
munity volunteers.
With the long, summer
months here, and many of the
volunteers who serve on the
sheriff's office citizens observer
patrol (COP) away on vacation,
Sheriff Whiddon is interested in
recruiting residents to help sup-
plement the department's daily
patrol duties.
Calling the work of a volun-
teer member "invaluable,"
Sheriff Whiddon hopes that a


few community-oriented resi-
dents will take on the task.
The county agency has expe-
rienced varying levels of success
with its COP program, with vol-
unteers in Buckhead Ridge
lending a considerable hand
with patrolling duties and vol-
unteers in Moore Haven, Ortona
and Lakeport stepping up to
help.
Though some areas are
more active than others with
their COP program, the pro-
gram has been instituted coun-
ty-wide. All areas benefit.
Historically, it's been a. pro-
ductive partnership between


.the law enforcement agency
and the public. But with the
onset of the midsummer
months here, some of the vol-
unteers are gone.
The role of a COP volunteer
is to serve as an extra set of eyes.
for the department. Volunteers
normally ride in squad cars on
loan by the department and
patrol areas of their communi-
ties. Normally, volunteers are
simply on the lookout for possi-
ble criminal activities and their
job is to alert authorities. '.
Volunteers do not have the
power to make arrests or serve
as backups to other officers -

competing in Horse Shows at
the Labelle Family Livestock
Club horse shows.
Her mom, Tammy Swann,
does most the hauling, and
her Uncle Rusty .helps with
long hauls and goes to most

Although her dad, Douglas
Swann, has to stay home most
of the time to feed other ani-
mals and work, he supports
her efforts 100 percent. He
was there for this big win, driv-

to watch her run.
Ms. Swann trains with Brid-

from Wayne Williams. of Ft:.
Myers.
She gives a big thanks to
Cheryl Burchardt of Alva and
Doctor Keen of Clewiston for
helping with keeping her
horse sound. Gary Prescott
has done a great job keeping
Lacy's feet in good shape; she
also thanks all the people that
have helped her along the
way.


their safety is well-guarded. The
volunteers instead make sure
that all is right and help citizens
in light distress, including
maybe offering somebody a
'jump' to get their cars back on
the road.
There are even husband-and-
wife volunteers who take to the
streets together to ward off the
criminal element a strong dis-
play of the ownership some res-
idents feel about their own
neighborhoods and communi-
ties.
The benefit of having some-
one local in the volunteer pro-
gram is that that. person is


already familiar with the com-
munity, and knows when some-
thing just isn't right.
Older residents generally
apply to work as volunteers;,
retired citizens who are interest-
ed in giving back to the commu-
nity and keeping the streets safe
and crime-free.
But the job isn't limited to
anyone. So long the volunteer
passes a background check,
anyone can become a volunteer

Uncle Luke doesn't come
often but when he does you
know he wants two things: first,
a fresh-perked cup of coffee and
then, a walk through the woods.
Well, he ground the coffee.
with Aunt Kitty's more-than-a-
hundred-years-old grinder, say-
ing, "Can't never decide which is
better... listening' to the sound of
this old grinder or the good smell
of what it's grinding. And then
he added,
"I'm smellin' apples,
too...where'd you get them
apples that smell like apples?"
Yes. Just the day before a box
of Virginia apples had arrived -
some big, some little, some with
blemishes, others without, but
all unmistakably apples from
trees that had never been
sprayed and which had been left


on the trees until they were ripe.
Limber Twigs. They were picked
Tuesday morning, shipped UPS
that same afternoon, arriving
two days later with no loss of
sun-ripened, fresh-apple fra-
grance. It's too bad that Limber
Twigs are not among those
apples still being grown.
As soon as the coffee was
made and we'd had a couple
cups on the porch, heading for
the door, Uncle Luke asked,
"What direction we goin' in
today?"
He didn't expect an answer
and he didn't get one. On the
way out a couple apples found
their way into his big pockets,
.then we headed south on the
barn road, cut across the south-
east pasture, veered due south
for a half mile or so which led to

e bottom line is: Seniors who
clients of Senior Connections
wouldd not notice any interruption
in services when Hope of South-
west Florida takes over August 1.
Several weeks ago, Senior Con-
nections, which has provided
meals, homemaking and home
health care services to the elderly in
Hendry and Glades counties for
more than 20 years, learned that its
contract with Area Agency on
Aging (AAA), its main funding
source, was in jeopardy.
Leigh Schield is the Executive
Director of the AAA, which moni-
tors the seven-county area of Dis-
trict 8. According to Ms. Schield, the
decision to award services to Hope
of Southwest Florida was based on


Connections' funding in serious doubt


several client complaints and on-
going administrative documenta-
tion issues. Clients were mailed let-
ters about the change June 30.
Once those letters were received,
she said more complaints surfaced.
Ms. Shield said AAA met with
the Senior Connections board in
May and brought several issues to
their attention, identifying specific
clients needing "immediate assess-
ment." She said Senior Connec-
tions was given 30 days from May
19 to rectify the situation.
Senior Connections Executive
Director Christine Nolan takes'
exception to that scenario. She
admitted that her agency has had
some difficulties with paperwork,
but added that services to clients
have always been top priority..She
insisted Senior Connections has
made progress, but that the agency
ran out of time. She said the issues
can be traced back to 2004 when
three hurricanes hit the area.
"We've never really recovered from
that," she said, and has asked for a
90-day transition period, which


would keep Senior Connection
staff in place to help train incoming
Hope staff.
Ms. Nolan said although Senior
Connections was put on probation
May 19, it was not given due
process. She pointed out that AAA
solicited Hope to take over the con-
tract that very day.
Ms. Schield agreed that "It may
be that the past two hurricane sea-
sons strained Senior Connections'
abilities ... It's hard to close down
an agency, but we're using taxpay-
er's money."
In 2004, the previous Senior
Connections administrator neglect-
ed to put the food contract out for
bid which was the first thing Ms.
Nolan did when she came on
board at the end of 2005.
Ms. Nolan points to the horren-
dous 2004 hurricane season as the

FDIC state profiles highlight "solid job growth"


Job market conditions
remained generally positive .in
most of the U.S. through the first
quarter of 2006, with some pockets
of weakness along the Louisiana
Gulf Coast and the auto-dependent
upper Midwest. FDIC-insured insti-
tutions also continue to record
strong -earnings,.supported by low
credit losses and growth in both
real estate and commercial lend-
ing. However, many states show
signs of an emerging slowdown in
housing market activity. These and
other state-level economic and
banking trends are summarized in
the Summer 2006 edition of FDIC
State Profiles released today.
"Most regions are seeing solid
job growth and strong economic
activity, which are helping to sup-
port loan demand," said FDIC Chief
Economist Richard A. Brown. "We
also see housing market activity
slowing in a number of regions, as
affordability continues to be a chal-
lenge. It appears that housing will
probably not be a leading sector for


the U.S.. economy in the, second
half oftheyear."
Home sales activity appears to,
be slowing across many areas of
the country, and inventories of
.unsold homes are increasing.
FDIC regional analysts n6te that
affordability continues to be a
challenge for homebuyers, par-
ticularly.in the Middle Atlantic

and Western states. Recent data
show that rates of home price
appreciation have recently decel-
erated in many states, although
prices have declined outright in
only a few metropolitan areas.
Meanwhile, rising energy costs
continue to pressure consumer
finances, particularly among
lower-income households.
The banking industry reported a
fifth consecutive year of record
earnings in 2005, and this strong
financial performance has c6ntin-
ued into 2006. However, rising
short-term interest rates, a flattened
yield curve, and growing depend-
ence on non-core funding sources

are pressuring net interest margins,
particularly among mortgage lend-

FDIC analysts note thal margin
compression has been offset to
some extent by strong loan growth,
notably in the construction and
development (C&D) segment of
,the commercial real-estate .(CRE)
portfolio. Con,:entrations of C&D
and CRE loans are rising, particular-
ly among institutions in states in the
Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and West.
Loan performance currently
remains favorable across all loan
categories, including farm-related
credits held by agricultural banks.

Recipes that stand the test of t


Reviewed by Barbara
Oehlbeck

A first glance at this book will
give you no indication of its con-
tents, and no wonder. It is so dra-
matically different from most cook-
books that even on the first page
where the heading is Recipes, one
still has to wonder.
Having had the book less than a
week, there hasn't been time to try
all the delicious ideas by Roy Cap-
per that look so fantastic in photo-
graphs by Andy Boyd, but the sev-
eral that I tried are extraordinary. I
had to start at the back with the
Largo Key Lime Pie. The P.S. to the
recipe reads: As you enjoy the pie,
let your imagination take you to
Key Largo, lying in a hammock in
the shade of a coconut palm, read-
ing Hemingway while the pelicans
dive for fish. Yes, another slice
would go down really well, with a
cool glass of freshly made lemon-
ade. And this is not all. On the fac-
ing page is a photograph, just one
of 24 (counting the front and back
covers) that is purely magnificent.
A hammock swings from a palm
on the shore of a lagoon that looks
out over endless water, palm
fronds frame the hammock and a
mangrove arm of the mainland juts
lazily into the lagoon. The repro-.
duction of these photographs is
totally superb. And they're not your
ordinary sea scenes or tropical sun-
sets... these are everyday scenes
that enliven your senses while the
recipes whet your appetite.
Try this one: Country-Fried
Steak and Gravy which begins:
This is an old country recipe and
worth dressing the part for, so put
on your Levis, cowboy shirt, neck-
erchief and cowboy boots. Saddle
up and get ready to hit the trail.
The facing photo is one of a herd
of cattle, of course, with such clari-
ty and definition that the eyelashes
of the cows are clearly visible and
you'd swear you can feel their
shining wet noses!.
And the day won't end before
this one hits the table! Skillet-
Roasted Potato Salad that
sounds a different chord. Uncork
a bottle of wine, a little taste or
two might be useful to get you in
the mood. The ingredients are
those you no doubt already have
in your pantry: potatoes, oil, salt
'n pepper, a couple summer
squash, white wine, olive oil, red
pepper, cherry (or other) toma-
toes and a few sprigs of parsley.
And the RS. to this one reads:
Try not to partake ol ltoo much
wine. Potato salad flicked across
the dinner table by the chef is
not the best way to win friends
and influence people!
There's no doubt that "A Taste,
Of Old Florida" will prove to be a
taste that will enliven your
menus and endear you to the
heart and stomach ,of those
around your table.
The cover invites, even urges
you, to "come in". It's a 10 X 10
coffee table book that's the best
of two worlds: fantastic photo-

Everglades restoration milestone marked


MARTIN COUNTY In another
milestone for Florida's Acceler8
Everglades restoration initiative,
the Florida Department of Environ-
mental Protection (DEP), South
Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) and Martifi County offi-
cials celebrated completion of two
four-acre reservoirs last week -
less than" four months after break-
ing ground. .
Project managers will use data
generated by the two test cells to
design the $330 million full-scale
3,400-acre C-44 (St. Lucie Canal)
Reservoir and Stormwater Treat-
ment Area project. Part of the
State's plan to fast track the restora-
tion of America's Everglades, the
massive reservoir and treatment
wetland will capture, store and
treat water from the C-44 basin to
improve water quality, revitalize
wildlife habitat and improve the
health of the St. Lucie Estuary and
Indian River Lagoon.
To mark the progress, SFWMD
project managers and engineers
provided a series of 20-minute
guided tours of the test cells
throughout the day. The two test
cells currently hold 92 acre-feet of
water equivalent to about 30
Olympic-sized swimming pools.
"The C-44 Reservoir and
Stormwater Treatment Area Pro-
ject test cells are an essential part of
the larger water project," said DEP
Sec. Colleen Castille. "Not only will
these. facilities greatly improve
water quality in the estuaries, but
will also provide refuge for wildlife
and recreational opportunities
such as fishing and bird-watching."
The information collected by
the test cells will be used to
enhance the timing and delivery of
water flow to the St. Lucie Estuary.
The South Florida Water Manage-
ment District also recently com-
pleted two test areas of treatment
wetlands to help project managers
determine optimum grading tech-
niques and vegetation growth con-
ditions. The information will be
used in the construction of larger
stormwater treatment areas that
use plants to naturally cleanse
excess nutrients from water. Both


pilot projects will provide engi-
neers with critical water clu...ili,
and seepage information to design
and build the entire C-44 reservoir
and stormwater treatment area on
former agricultural land.
I "We invited the public to
come witness our progress first-
hand," said SFWMD Executive
Director Carol Ann Wehle. "Today
is. proof that the South Florida
Water Management District,
along with our state and county
partners, are taking necessary
actions to get the water right and
get critical restoration projects
into the ground sooner."
Located in Martin County,
halfway between Lake Okee-
chobee .and the Indian River
Lagoon, the completed C-44 reser-
voir will span 3,400 acres holding
water up to 15 feet deep. The
above-ground reservoir will pro-
vide 50,600 acre-feet of water stor-
age the same capacity as 25,000
Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The massive water storage area
will work together with 6,300 acres
of stormwater treatment area to
capture and treat water before it is
released to the C-44 Canal and
flows to the Indian River Lagoon
and St. Lucie Estuary. The first
phase of full project construction
will begin in the fall, with comple-
tion scheduled by the end of 2009.
Announced by Governor Jeb
Bush in October 2004, Acceler8 is
stepping iup the pace of funding,
design and construction to com-
plete eight critical Everglades
restoration projects over seven
years. At substantial savings to tax-
payers, the projects will restore
100,000 acres of wetlands, expand
,water treatment areas by close to
29,000 acres and provide 418,000
acre-feet of additional water stor-
age for Everglades restoration a
decade ahead of schedule.
The C-44 (St. Lucie Canal)
Reservoir/STA Project is one of four
Acceler8 projects launched this
year. In February, the State started
construction on three treatment
wetland expansions and the C-43
Caloosahatchee West Storage
Reservoir. The Acme Basin B Dis-


charge Project construction was
i i,;ri :.i ii, lune.
Under the leadership of Gover-
nor Bush, Florida has forged ahead
to implement the Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration 'Plan with
an investment of $1.3 billion and a
commitment for an additional $3.2
billion through the end of the
decade to clean up and restore the
famed River of Grass.

Governor signs bill


affecting
Last week, Governor Jeb
Bush signed into law a bill affect-
ing would-be, first-time hunters
and those wanting to hunt dur-
ing Florida's newly established
crossbow season.
Effective Aug. 1, 2006, any-
one 16 years or older and born
after May 31, 1975 can hunt
under the supervision of a
licensed hunter, 21 or older,
without having to complete the
state's hunter safety certifica-
tion. The newly established
"Hunter Safety Mentoring
Exemption" enables those per-
sons to purchase a Florida hunt-
ing license and hunt during a
one-year trial basis.
The new mentoring exemp-
tion was passed by the Florida
Legislature to help persuade
more people to experience
hunting. It is designed to encour-
age experienced hunters to
teach novice hunters about safe-
ty, ethics, wildlife, hunting skills
and respect for Florida's out-
doors.
Until now, everyone 16 or
over, and born after May 31,
1975, needed to complete the
hunter safety requirement
before they were allowed to buy
a hunting license.
"This should be a great incen-
tive for getting more people to
give hunting a try, and hopefully,
we can hook some of these folks
on the hunting tradition," said
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser-
vation Commission hunter safe-
ty coordinator Bill Cline. "If a
novice hunter enjoys the sport,
we hope they take the hunter
safety course and continue the
experience for years to come."
Individuals taking advantage
of this try-before-you-buy
approach would have to take


hunters


"This should be a great
incentive for getting
more people to give
hunting a try, and
hopefully, we can hook
some of these folks on
the hunting tradition."
Bill Cline,
Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
hunter safety coordinator

and pass a hunter safety class to
be eligible to purchase a hunting
license and hunt the following
year.
Another part of the law estab-
lishes a $5 permit fee for hunters
to participate in the state's new
crossbow season. The new per-
mit is similar to the archery and
muzzleloading gun permits that
also cost $5 and are required for
those hunting during the
archery and muzzleloading gun
seasons.
The crossbow season will
run Oct. 9-13 in the South Hunt-
ing Zone, Oct. 23-27 in the Cen-
tral Zone and Nov. 27 Dec. 3 in
the Northwest Zone. Hunters
will need to purchase the $5
crossbow permit to hunt during
these periods when only. cross-
bows and bows can be used.
The new crossbow season is
offered on private lands only and
not available on any of the
state's wildlife management
areas.
For more infol miation on the
hunter safety rneniring exenmp-
tion or crossbow season, call
Tony Young at (850) 488-7867.


This column lists arrests, not
convictions, unless otherwise
stated. Anyone who is listed here
and who is later found not guilty,
or has the charges against them
dropped, is welcome to inform
the newspaper. We will confirm
the information and print it.

Seek-to-school sales tax holiday being planned


Hope OASSEE -Governor
sr encouraging Floridi-
Floridfut-of-state shoppers
ake advantage of the
mIajores tax holiday, which
ct on Saturday July 22
By Pa s until midnight on July
INI Flte sales tax holiday is on
I, clothing, footwear, and
sTn school supplies and is
a cted to save taxpayers more
sn $39 million.
"I am delighted that millions
.of Floridians will again have the
opportunity to save money dur-
ing the sales tax holiday," said
Governor Bush. "I'm particularly


pleased that shoppers will again
be able to save money on books.
Reading is a critical part of life-
long learning and success, and
the sales tax holiday is a great
way for families to save money
while encouraging reading."
Under the sales-tax holiday
law, no state or local sales tax
will be charged on clothes,
footwear, books, and certain
accessories selling for $50 or
less. School supplies selling for
$10 or less will be tax-exempt as
well during this sales tax holiday
period.
Savings include:


Shoppers will pay no state
or local option sales tax when
buying books with a sales price
of $50 or less.
Shoppers will pay no state or
local option sales taxes on pur-
chases of clothing, footwear,
and certain accessories with a
sales price of $50 or less per
item.
Shoppers will pay no state
or local option sales tax on pur-
chases of certain school supplies
with a sales price of $10 or less
per item.
"This sales tax holiday has
always coincided with back-to-


school shopping timed to
have the maximum impact for
Florida's families as they pur-
chase clothes, shoes, books, and
supplies," said Senator Daniel
Webster. "This is an excellent tax
break that helps all Floridians."
"This legislation has become
an annual opportunity to support
Florida families with a back-to-
school shopping tax break," said
Representative Ray Sansom.
"We're helping millions of Florid-
ians save money while preparing
for the new school year."
The sales tax holiday will save
shoppers an estimated $32.1


million in state sales tax and an
additional $7.2 million in county
sales taxes. Regular sales tax hol-
idays also were held in 1998,
1999, 2000, 2001, 2004 and 2005.
"While Florida retailers have
become adept at administering
this popular holiday, the Depart-
ment of Revenue is preparing tax
information guidelines, includ-
ing posters and easily-accessible
information on our website, to
make the implementation go
smoothly," said Dr. Jim Zingale,
executive director of the Florida
Department of Revenue.
If businesses or taxpayers


have questions about the sales
tax holiday, they should call the
Department of Revenue toll-free
Taxpayer Assistance line at 1-
800-352-3671 between 8 a.m.
and 7 p.m. weekdays. Informa-
tion also is available through the
Department of Revenue web site
at www.myflorida.com/dor or
by visiting a Department of Rev-
enue Service Center. Service
center telephone numbers and
locations are available through
the web site or by checking the
Blue Pages (Government List-
ings) in your local telephone
directory.

ings of $2.6 million, or $0.36 per
share, during the same period of
the prior year. For the nine
months ended May 31, 2006, net
earnings were $6.4 million, or
$0.86 per share, compared with
$3.6 million, or $0.49 per share,
for the nine months ended May
31,2005.
Operating revenues during
the third quarter totaled $34.7
million, compared with $19.3
million for the third quarter of
the prior year. This increase was
primarily due to increased rev-
enues from citrus operations
resulting from revenues earned
by the Company's newly
acquired subsidiary, Bowen
Brothers Fruit, LLC ("Bowen").
Operating. revenues for the nine
months ended May 31, 2006
were $62.8 million, compared
with $46.3 million for the same
period of the prior year.
Pretax income from opera-
tions was $2.9 million for the
quarter, compared with $4.2
million for the same quarter of
2005. The decrease was primari-
ly due to reduced cattle sales
during the third quarter of fiscal
year 2006 when compared with
the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Addressing the divisional
results, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer John R.
Alexander noted that:
The Citrus division record-
ed pretax profits of $4.4 million


months ended May 31, 2005.
Hurricanes, citrus canker finds
and increased real estate devel-
opment in the central and south-
ern portions of Florida where
the majority of citrus is pro-
duced have combined to reduce
the supply of citrus for the past
two years, resulting in price
increases for citrus products
across the industry.
Sugarcane and sod generat-
ed a pretax profit of $0.9 million
for the three months ended May
31, 2006 compared with earn-
ings of-$0.1 million for the three
months ended May 31, 2005. For
the nine months ended May 31,
2006 and 2005, the sugarcane
and sod division 'generated a
pretax profit of $0.6 million and
$0.5 million, respectively. Recent
price, increases in the price of
raw sugar improved sugarcane
profitability during the quarter
ended May 31, 2006, and
returned the division to its prior
year profitability levels.
Pretax profits from the sale
of cattle were $0.1 million and
$0.7 million for the three and
'nine months ended May 31,
2006, respectively, compared
with $1.1 million 4nd $1.8 mil-
lion for the three and nine,
months ended May 31, 2005.
The number of cattle sold was
less during the first nine months
of fiscal year 2006 than for the
same period in the prior fiscal'


to take advantage of record high
prices for calves, the Company
sold a portion of its calf crop that
would have normally been deliv-
ered to western feedlots. Calves
delivered to western feedlots
require an additional nine
months of preparation before
they are ready for sale. Due to
the sale of the calves in the prior
fiscal year as described above,
fewer animals were available for
sale in the current fiscal year.
The Company also sells
vegetable transplants through its
subsidiary, Alico Plant World,
LLC, as well as native plants
from its ranch location, and pro-
duces and sells corn and beans.
Pretax income from these oper-
ations totaled $0.1 million and
$0.2 million for the three and
nine months ended May 31,
2006, respectively. Income from
plants, vegetables and trees was
$0.3 million and $0.5 million for
the three and nine month peri-
ods ended May 31, 2005, respec-
tively.
"After last season's devastat-
ing Hurricanes, Alico and its
subsidiaries are rebounding
through the efforts of a dedicat-
ed staff and an aggressive busi-
ness plan that is designed to cap-
italize on opportunities as they
arise in each of our corporate
divisions," stated CEO John
Alexander. "We believe that con-
tinued quarterly growth is attain-

previously disclosed ongoing tax
audits, Mr. Alexander noted: "In
June of 2006, the Company
received notices of proposed
adjustment from the IRS in con-
nection with their previously dis-
closed ongoing audits of the tax
years 2000 through 2004. These
notices propose theories upon
which the IRS believes that
adjustments to the Company's
reported taxable income for the
years in question should be
made. The principal proposed
adjustment relates to the organi-
zation of the Company's Agri
Insurance subsidiary and pro-
poses four alternative theories
upon which the IRS believes that
additional taxable income
should have been reported in
the years under audit. Under the
alternative theories the IRS*
believes that the Company's tax-
able income for the years under
audit should be increased from a
minimum of $11.8 million dol-
lars to a maximum of $119.7 mil-
lion dollars." The Company does
not accept the IRS position and
intends to continue to vigorously
oppose any attempt by the IRS
to impose an assessment in con-
nection with the Agri matter. The
Company's Form 10Q contains a
more detailed discussion of this
matter.

Do I Really Need All That Lawn? Deadline for ag award


By EdAyen
Florida Yards & Neighborhood
This is another in a series of arti-
cles written about the new area
urban conservation program called
Florida Yards & Neighborhoods.
Why do you really have all that
turf grass area? Was it there when
you purchased the home? Do the
rules and regulations' of your
homeowners association specify a
certain amount of lawn area? Do
you want a nice grassy area for the
kids to play on? Speculation is that
the expansive lawn areas were
started by the European aristocracy
as an indication of their wealth. The
lawn was a status symbol that
spread to the United States when
our population became wealthy
and had enough leisure time to
emulate their European ancestors.
By far, the most questions asked
of me and the Master Gardeners
are in regard to lawn problems and
care. Should you assess the cost of
the care of your yard the turf area
will probably be the most expen-
sive. Of course, lawns do have their
good points; they are pleasing to
the eye and they act as a buffer by
absorbing runoff and pollutants.
If you are ready to let go of some
of your turf area; you may want to
do a phased approach such as


Fruit flies aboard the Space
Shuttle Discovery will help Univer-
sity of Central Florida (UCF) and
University of California, Davis, biol-
ogists learn more about how pro-
longed time in space could affect
human immune systems.
The flies will need little care dur-
ing their 12-day stay aboard the
shuttle, which launched, on Tues-
day; July 4, from Kennedy Space
Center. Astronauts will only have to
replace their food tray once.
When the flies return to earth,
Laurence "Laurie" von Kalm, an
associate professor of biology at
UCF, will work with Deborah Kim-
brell, a UC Davis associate research
geneticist, to evaluate their
responses to bacteria and fungi and
compare them to the responses of
flies that did not go into space.
"The primary question being
asked is whether the immune sys-
tem is compromised from pro-
longed space travel," Mr. von Kalm
said. "Are they more susceptible to
infection than the flies that don't
travel into space?"
NASA provided Ms. Kimbrell
with a grant to fund the research,
and Kennedy Space Center is pro-
viding a lab where Mr. von Kalm,
Ms. Kimbrell and their colleagues
will test the flies for two weeks after
the shuttle returns. Scientists from
NASA's Ames, Research Center,
Rice University and the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas, are also part
of the research team.
NASA's goal is to find out how.
extended stays in space, such as a
trip to Mars, could affect the health
of astronauts, Mr. von Kalm said.
Fruit flies can help NASA move
closer to that goal because certain
aspects of the genetic makeup of
their immune systems and
humans' are similar. Also, a 12-day
stay in space qualifies as prolonged
for fruit flies because they only live
for about four to six weeks.
Ms. Kimbrell sought Mr. von
* Kalm's help because of his experi-
ence working with fruit flies and
because of UCF's proximity to
Cape Canaveral. Four of Mr. von
Kalm's graduate students and a
senior research assistant will join
him at Cape Canaveral to conduct
the post-landing tests.
Mr. von Kalm, who began
teaching at UCF in 1997, focuses


expanding the existing planting
beds outward, adding shrubs and
groundcover plants. If you have a
sunny area you may want to put in
a butterfly garden using native
Florida plants that attract them
such as Firebush and Passion
Flower (Maypop). Another idea is
to put in a "pine flatwoods" area
emulating the natural Florida
pinelands or a "hammock" area
with oaks and saw palmettos.
Low growing native plants are
often suggested as alternatives to
turfgrass. For more trafficked areas
try Creeping Charlie and Sunshine
Mimosa. Other groundcovers are
Blue-eyed Grass, Coontie, Loveg-
rass, Beach Sunflower and Railroad
Vine.
One of the better ways to get rid
of turf areas without doing the hot,
dirty work of digging out sod is to
cover the area with a good, heavy
duty ground cloth which will
smother the grass. This method
turns the grass into decaying organ-
ic matter. Put mulch on top to hold
the cloth down; then, when the turf
is dead, plant your trees and shrubs
through the ground cloth. For
mulching use pine straw, pine
bark, Melaleuca or eucalyptus
mulch if possible; try not to use
cypress as that encourages the
deforestation and destruction, of


most of his research on the effects
of steroid hormones on the devel-
opment of fruit flies. Because of
their genetic similarities to humans,
the flies provide a good model for
- understanding how steroids can
affect the development of humans,
he said.
The flies on the shuttle will trav-
el in 10 small containers, each of
which is about the size of a.com-
puter zip disk. Two separate groups
of flies will be kept in a Kennedy
Space Center research lab during
the mission.
To help researchers rule out
variables aside from gravity that
could affect the flies, one group will
be subjected to the same tempera-
tures and vibrations experienced
during space flight. The other
group will be kept in normal room
conditions.
The shuttle also will carry a
small amount of a fungus known
as "Beauveria bassiana," an
approved organic pesticide that is
not harmful to humans. Ms. Kim-
ball, Mr. von Kalm and their col-
leagues will examine whether the
reduced gravity makes the fungus
more potent.
Flies will be exposed to fungi
from the shuttle and fungi kept in a
lab, a move that will help deter-
mine if various effects are results of
the flies' weakened immune sys-
tems or the fungi becoming more
virulent in space.
The future direction of this
research will depend on the results
of the upcoming experiment and
the level of cutbacks in funding for
NASA's life sciences research.
The shuttle launch will be the
second NASA mission in the last
two months with ties to UCF
research.
UCF optics professor James
Harvey and two graduate students
designed the Solar X-ray Imager on
board the GOES-N satellite that was
launched in May. The new X-ray tel-
escope will help to improve the
monitoring of weather activity such
as hurricanes. It also will aid in
monitoring and predicting space
weather, which can disrupt cell
phones, cause blackouts, interrupt
airline traffic and damage or
destroy instruments on multimil-
lion-dollar satellites.


Florida changes to pest


control rules just in time


Florida's few remaining cypress
wetlands.
If you are putting in some new
turfgrass use Bahiagrass as it is
more drought tolerant and pest
resistant than St. Augustine and
therefore you will use less water
and pesticides.

borhoods program is being imple-

TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bronson
is announcing that a set of new
rules has gone into effect that pro- -
vide improved protection for con-
sumers who contract with pest
control companies for termite
service.
All contracts issued by pest
control companies for termite
control must now clearly tell con-
sumers if the contracts cover sub-
,terranean termites, drywood ter-
xmites. or both If they don't cover
*-ormosan ter mites, a particularly
Aggressive form of subterranean
rmilte, the company has to clear-
.-;late that.
4"The a% erage homeowner may
'Aunderstand that there are dif-
-ces in the types of termites
'n invade their homes as
l differences in the kinds of
fons that address each
Mr. Bronson said. "We
qund that many people do
iize they are not protected
one or the other until their
s damaged and it is too
anotherr important change
'es into effect immediately is
v'mpanies that perform only
.i treatments post that infor-


mation on treatment stickers in the
structure. Existing homes may be
treated prior to being sold, espe-
cially when pre-sale inspections
show some termite activity. Sellers
may opt for a less expensive spot
treatment rather than a full treat-
ment. Until now the treatment
sticker did not have to specify that
it was a "spot" treatment.
"This is especially important for
home buyers," Mr. Bronson said.
"Buyers of existing homes may be
told that a house has been treated
before they buy it, but not
informed the treatment was only
to a limited part of the building.
Now they will know if the treat-
ment was full or partial."
Other changes in the contract
rule require that pest control com-
panies re-treat infestations covered
by a contract within ninety days
(180 days for multiunit structures).
Previously there was no time limit
on when the service had to be pro-
vided. Companies are now also
prohibited from denying re-treat-
ment or repairs if they were aware
of a construction defect or other
condition conducive to termite
infestation, such as a water leak
and did not inform the property
owner and allow them to repair it.

FWC seeks public input on ways to protect species


TALLAHASSEE The Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission is seeking public
input on Phase 2 of its listing
process, prior to reclassification of
the bald eagle, gopher tortoise,
Florida manatee and Panama City
crayfish.
Phase 2 is development of
species-specific management
plans that outline management
needs and protections necessary to
guide species' recovery, or in the
case of the bald eagle, ensure it
stays recovered. This process was
set in motion at the June Commis-
sion meeting after FWC Commis-
sioners voted to accept staff's rec-
ommendations to move forward
with reclassifying the four species.
The peer-reviewed recommenda-


tions were based on each species'
risk of going extinct.
No change in a species' status
will take place until the manage-
ment plan is developed and
approved by the Commissioners.
This process may take more than a
year.
Local, county, state and federal
agencies, stakeholders and the
public are encouraged to submit
written comments on managing
each of these species. Comments
must be received by 5 p.m., Aug. 8.
Comments should focus on
topics outlined in the draft man-
agement plan template, available
at www.MyFWC.com/imperiled-
species/mgt_plan_template.htm.
Main topics include the species'
conservation needs and any eco-


nomic and social factors that
should be considered in managing
each species in Florida. In addition,
state, local or regional rules or ordi-
nances that reference FWC species
listing categories should be identi-
fied. Relevant topics not included
in the template should be provided.

Between the trail we were on and
the pasture itself there's a' ditch -
-more like a canal- and separat-
ing the canal-ditch there's a wide,
sorta wandering hedge row of bay-
berry and the first brilliant burst of
Florida sunflowers. September or
early October is when they unfail-
ingly heed the call to the front of
center stage. Each face, with petals
in precise order around the center,
is as bright gold as the sun itself.
No wonder they're called sunflow-
ers even if this is only a common
name. This hedge row, unlike
most of them that surround pas-
tures and fields in these parts, is so
thick and lush, there was no part-
ing of the bushes big enough for us
to see through into the old pasture.
Having come this far we were
determined to find at least a little
"window" through which we
could see but would not be seen.
Beyond the hedge row there
was a sight Uncle Luke had to see.

much voice range, but their quack-

less. Some were a pretty good size,
others much smaller and it
seemed as though they were all
trying to explore the entire pond at
one time. They even bumped into

three heads going under the water
in the same spot! But they didn't
appear to mind. In a split second
their heads popped up out of the
water like corks, each one heading
in a different direction.
"There's a lot o' strange names
for them ducks, "said Uncle Luke,
"I've sure wondered where they all
come from. I've heard 'em called
Dumb Bird, Hardhead, Fool Duck,
Butterball, Sleeper, Winetail, Dip-
tail Diver, Bumblebee Coot and,
some others but I can't think of
'em now."
He shook his head as if trying to
clear out some thoughts. "I've
been wondering 'bout that name
Bumblebee Coot and I'll tell why:,
They're no kin that I've heard of,
and far as I know there's no other
bird in Florida with a white bill like
the real Coot. But they do eat most-
ly the same things...grasses and lit-
tle roots and seeds. Vegetable
eaters I guess you'd call 'em.".
Like a lot of other things in the

knew a lot more than he was
telling. Then suddenly a remem-

about him: If he was not absolute-
ly certain that what he had to say
was "gospel", undisputed truth,
he'd let it go unsaid. Not a bad phi-
losophy.
Even though we were a scant
hundred feet from the pond,
apparently none in this great Sun:
day gathering heard us... not the
breaking of a twig, neither our
whisperings nor leaves crunching
under our shoes. When we finally
decided it was time to go, Uncle
Luke put his arm around my
shoulders saying, "When you get
down the road as far as I am, there
don't seem to be too many 'firsts'
in living. But I got to say this is a
real, good 'first'...coming that
close to that many Ruddies and
seeing' 'em so close. The usual
thing is that it don't matter how
easy and quiet I'd try to be, they'd
see me first and then in a flash of a
second all I'd get to see was their
fan-shaped tails flyin' away."
We retraced our steps across
the pasture, crawled through the
barbed wire fence and were in
sight of the barn when he turned
to me and said: "We forgot to eat
them apples."

Baptist Church, 638 Yaun Road,
Moore Haven, is happy to
*announce that they have a new
pastor as of January 2005.
Pastor Darrel Branham and his
wife Joyce now live in Lehigh

tucky. He is the fourth child from a
family of eleven children. His dad,
Samuel Branham, now deceased,

churches. Pastor Branham got his


training here.
Pastor Branham was also
chaplain for General Motors for
six years and local 913 of the
U.A.W Pastor Branham and his
wife Joyce just celebrated their
44th wedding anniversary.
The pastor and his wife have
two sons, Christopher, now a
retired veteran of 25 years, who


makes his home in Jacksonville,
N.C., and Mark, the youngest son,
who lives in Norwalk, Ohio, is a
metallargust and a welder with
the American Baler Co. in Belle-
vue, Ohio.
The pastor and his wife are
also the proud grandparents of
two grandsons, one great-grand-
daughter, two step-grandchildren,

dren.

ues, but new ideas, old time spiri-
tual singing, and the word of God
straight from the King James
Bible, come and visit us. Our arms
are open to the broken hearted.

Chippie doesn't sing much anymore


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
Chippie is one of my favorite
all time stories I like to share. Per-
haps the reason I like this story so
well is that there have been times
that I felt very much like Chippie. I
thinkwe all have.'
In the account I heard, it all
began when Mary decided to
clean Chippie's cage with the vac-
uum cleaner. Mary removed the
attachment from the end of the
hose and stuck it in the cage. The
phone rang, and she turned to
pick it up. Mary had .barely said
hello when a-wumpa! Chippie
got sucked in.
Mary screamed, dropped the
phone, turned off the vacuum,
arid opened up the bag. There
was Chippie sitting up and some-
what dazed, but still alive and


completely covered with dust.
Mary quickly grabbed the poor
bird, ran to the bathroom, turned
on the faucet, and held him under
the running water. Then, realizing
Chippie was wet and starting to
shiver, she did
what any con-.
cerned bird
owner would
do she
reached for the
hair dryer and
gave. him. a
blast of hot air.
Poor Chip- -
pie never knew John
what hit him. Hicks
A few days
later, a reporter who had initially
written about Chippie's encounter
called to see how Chippie was
doing. Mary told him that Chippie
was doing okay, but Chippie does-


n't sing much anymore. He just
sits and stares.
It's not hard to see why. Being
sucked up, dunked down, and
blown over would steal the song
from the best of us. One moment
every thing is calm and going well,
and we have a song on our lips,
then, a-wumpa! Something hap-
pens and we are sucked into a
dark abyss, dunked into the cold
water of reality, and then we are
blown away with the-hot blast that
ruffles our feathers in all sorts of
odd ways. The life that had been
calm is now blowing gale forces.
Chances are if you are not in a
life storm today, you know some-
one who is. And somewhere in
.the midst of these storms that
come into our lives, joy vanishes
and our song is lost. Chippie
doesn't sing much anymore. Nei-
ther do we.


So, what do we do to reclaim
our songs and our sanity? Let me
suggest two things:
First, let us remember that the
same voice that stilled the rage on
the Sea of Galilee can still the
storm in our world, and the same
voice that gave the birds their
song can give us our song again.
Second, let us anchor in God's
Word and promise for us. The
Psalmist claimed, "He lifted me
out of the slimy pit, out of the
mud and mire; He set my feet on
a rock and gave me a firm place to
stand. He put a new song in my
mouth, a hymn of praise to our
God. (Psalm 40:1-3) What God
did for him, He will do for us.
Claim God's promise to put a:
new song in your mouth and in
your heart, and go forth and make
a joyful noise for our Lord, a
hymn of praise to our God.

Saint Martin's Church, Cle%%ision.
Over the years, several persons
have come to me to express an
interest in entering the ministry. I
take itas a com-
plimnent that .. ',
they will share

ing desirewith t
me and want to
explore the .
steps to a spe- ...
cial life. This
pastweek, I cel-
ebrated forty SamuelS.
years of ordina- Thomas
tion as a Dea-
con, and W\ill celebrate forty years
of priestly ministry in January. I've
found myself in many places I
never dreamed about being, doing
things that none of the preparation
trained me to do and serving many
peoples over time. 1,also shared as
Examining Chaplain and had a
"gatekeeper" function in one min-
istry of twelve years; something
that drew on all of my creative
energies and was a bit fearful at the
same time. It was an opportunity to
say "Yes" but also to say "No" and
wonder always if God approved of
how things were being handled in
His name. Usually, churches have a
prescribed route of entry into the
ministry. When someone doesn't
.want to enter by the usual route, it
raises red flags. When one person
told me that they could be


didn't need to go to seminary, we
disagreed. When another wanted
to read at home instead of taking
the prescribed courses in school,
we felt they would miss out on
much of the training that goes with
the fellowship of others in training
and the chance to share firsthand
with the leaders of the Church.
When one person refused to go to
school because they didn't like the
dean, and told us that nobody
could get along with him, we
agreed. We also pointed out that
ministry may be full of disagree-
able people but we are called to
learn to get ,along with them and
therefore a good place to start is in
training. The excuse was not
accepted and we didn't drop the,
requirement to go and learn to get
along. When one person said they
could not take the regional exams
at the completion of studies, I
offered more time. There were
excuses; "My computer broke
down," and "I broke my leg and
am in a cast and can't sit down to
do them," and "people in other
parts of the Church don't have to
take them, why should I?" and
"We didn't covei that in school"
and on and on. Each time, my reply
was the same: "I'll give you more
time." Each time ordination was
delayed. Finally one day the person
told me that they were raised in an
orphanage and people used to
come .and make decisions about
what was going to happen and


in blocking mentally when dead-
lines were set or things seemed out
of control. I explained the reasons
for the testing and commended the
person for having gained insights
into what kept the exam from
being completed, and reconm-
mended taking some time off to
devote to .doing it at a relaxed pace,
and then planning for ordination
when it was all done. Finally, after
trying to get others to tell me I was
doing wrong, or having others try
to intercede, the person realized
that it needed to be done and the
work was completed; I attended
the ordination and attested to all of
the requirements being met. Paul
writes to Timothy "Do not be hasty
in the laying on of hands (1 Timo-
thy 5:22)" It is good advice. The so-
called "hurdles" along the way that
seem frustrating to many teach us
about ourselves and prepare for
the challenges ahead. I think some
people confuse a call to be a more
committed Christian with a call to
the ministry;' taking ones' time
about entering the ministry helps
clarify the difference. That's the
way it seems to be with many
vocations, too. I've read that satis-
faction comes from doing things
meaningful to others and things
meaningful to ourselves. It may
take a long time to get there, but it's
worth it; if it's a vocation in a
Church or a vocation in another
part of God's world.

Federal law needed for CERP projects


By MaryAnn Morris
INI Florida
The Everglades, Kissimmee
River, Lake Okeechobee and
associated rivers' restorations
which are part of the Comprehen-
sive Everglades Restoration Plan
(CERP) cost money. The federal
government, through the Water
Resources Development Act,
appropriates federal funds annu-
ally to provide its 50 percent of the
money needed to complete these
projects. The remaining 50 per-
cent comes from local sources..
Lake Okeechobee and the sur-
rounding areas are all part of this
effort. To clean up the lake and
the rivers, provide flood control
and water supply are what this is
all about. The following South
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict (another key player) press
release, outlines part of this year's
funding and the need for it. The
remaining parts that pertain to
Florida are the Caloosahatchee
River (C-43) Basin Aquifer Storage
and Recovery project, Picayune
Strand Restoration, Water Conser-
vation Area 3A 3B Leevee Seep-
age Management Project and
Wastewater Re-use Technology.
But Congress must act. The
House of Representatives has
approved the 2006 WRDA. It must
now be approved by the U.S. Sen-
ate. .
So you say you're not a water
manager, construction engineer,
environmental scientist or deci-
sion-making government official
and can do little to help our treas-
ured waterways that have lost
their luster? Not so. You can help
get much-needed restoration
projects in the ground faster by
supporting and standing behind
your local, city, county, state and
federal agencies responsible for
turning our liquid gems back into
healthy sparkle.
Florida's "Treasure Coast"
encompasses some of the state's
and nation's most productive and
most threatened estuarine treas-
ures the Indian River Lagoon
and St. Lucie River and Estuary.
Home to more than 4,300 species
of plants and animals, the Indian
River Lagoon is nationally signifi-
cant and unique in North America
- included in the U.S Environ-
mental Protection Agency's
National Estuary Program and a
portion of the lagoon is an Out-
standing Florida Water. The Indi-
an River Lagoon is recognized as
the most bio-diverse estuarine
system in North America.
However, the lagoon and estu-
ary have suffered from altered
water flow patterns and degraded
water quality. In the past few
years, hurricanes and excessive
rains required additional, flood-


control water releases to the estu-
ary from Lake Okeechobee.
Freshwater lake releases,
which are regulated and author-
ized by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, combined with excess
storm water runoff arriving in the
estuary through the drainage
basin canals, altered salinity bal-
ance, stressing the estuary's
unique brackish (slightly salty)
ecosystem. In addition, the lake
releases and runoff from fertilized
farm and neighborhoods around
the estuary's 827-square mile
watershed caused both an
increase in the volume of fresh
water and pollution levels enter-
ing the estuary and lagoon. Too
much phosphorus, a common
ingredient often found in fertilizer,
can promote the uncontrolled
growth of algae and vegetation,
damaging the ecology of the
lagoon and estuary.
Multi-agency
actions fixing the
problem,
"While the releases to our
estuaries on both coasts are part
of the regional flood control sys-
tem that's made it possible for
most of us to live and work com-
fortably and safely in this region,
the system has severe limitations
and must be changed to end the
unintended environmental conse-
quences," said Karen Smith,
South Florida Water Management
District's Martin-St. Lucie Service
Center in Stuart. "The good news
is that a number of aggressive
actions are well under way by
many agencies at all levels, work-
ing together to make these need-
ed changes to get the water right."
A huge 50-50 state-federal
restoration effort, called the Indi-
an River Lagoon South Restora-
tion Project, is being implement-
ed by the South Florida Water
Management District and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers to
reverse thdlamagi, g effects of
pollution' and' unnaturally large
freshwater discharges into these
ecologically vital water bodies.
The delicate balance of fresh and
salt water in the lagoon and estu-
ary will be restored, polluted
water will be treated and depleted
habitats will be revitalized.
The Indian River Lagoon South
Restoration Project will restore


Special to INI/South Florida Water Management District
The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Projects require
funding by both local interests and the federal government.


the southern Indian River Lagoon
and St. Lucie Estuary and its asso-
ciated watershed.. This will be
accomplished by reducing canal
freshwater discharge, storing
more water on land, returning a
more natural water flow to the.
lagoon and estuary, removing 7.9
million cubic yards of muck, and
restoring upland wetlands. Major
construction features include
1-30,000 acre-feet of above-
ground storage reservoirs; 35,000
acre-feet of storage in storm
water treatment areas; 92,000
acres of restored natural areas
storage; diversion of watershed
flows; and sediment/muck
removal. Water quality, plant and
animal habitat, and estuary nurs-
ery conditions all will improve.
The Indian River Lagoon South
Restoration Project is part of an.
even bigger, system-wide 50-50
federal-state plan to restore, pro-
tect, and preserve the water
resources of central and southern
Florida. This plan is known as the
Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan or CERP .-
which includes several projects
throughout the vast Kissimmee-
Lake Okeechobee-Everglades
connected watershed, including
the Indian River Lagoon and St.
Lucie Estuary. When all of these
projects are in place, the natural
environment will be dramatically
improved.

What is WRDA?
However, large-scale improve-
ment projects do not go far without
funding, and the passage of the
2006 Water Resources Develop-
ment Act is vital to continued
progress. WRDA provides federal
authorization for construction of
facilities and systems used to man-
age water resources, including the
Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie
Estuary. This bill, which was
approved by the House last year,
would authorize construction of
the Indian River Lagoon South
Restoration Project and other fed-
eral water resource projects.
Once WRDA authorization' is
secured, separate Congressional
funding will still have to be sought
for the project's engineering and
construction activities. Approxi-
mately $1.2 billion split equally
between the state and federal gov-
ernment is needed to implement
the Indian River Lagoon South
Restoration Project.
"The South Florida Water Man-
agement District can't wait and has
been moving forward to get these
riuch-needed projects into the
ground sooner while anticipating
WRDA authorization and credit,"
Ms. Smith said. "Just a few weeks
ago, the District, with support from


Martin County that generously
helped to acquire land, has already
started construction on the $330
million C-44 (St. Lucie Canal)
Reservoir and Stormwater Treat-
ment Area project, just one of 13
components of the CERP Indian
River Lagoon South Restoration
Project."
The new reservoir and treat-
ment area will provide relief to the
health of the estuary and lagoon
more than' a decade ahead of
schedule under the state's Acceler8
Everglades restoration initiative. To
date, under the leadership of Gov.
Jeb Bush, Florida has invested $1.3
billion and committed an addition-
al $3.2 billion through the end of
the decade to clean up and restore
Armerica's Everglades.
"The South Florida Water Man-
agement District along with our
federal, regional, county, city and
local partners need your support
to move WRDA 2006 through Con-
gress so that we can protect the
health and future of our treasured
water bodies of national signifi-
cance," Ms. Smith said.

Butterfly Basics


- Part Two: Luscious leaves


By Dan Culbert
Extension Horticulture Agent
Last week this column high-
lighted the kinds of flowers
needed by Okeechobee area
butterflies. This week our atten-
tion turns to the kinds of plants
needed to feed "baby butter-
flies" the food plants for cater-
pillars.
Butterfly Haven will open to
the public on Saturday, July 22.
Located at Arnold's Wildlife
Rehabilitation Center north of
Okeechobee, many volunteers
have put in countless hours of
work at this unique community
garden. While few people will
be able to install a project like
this one a half-acre free-range
butterfly garden that is shaped
like a Zebra Longwing almost
anyone can encourage year-
round visits by planting some of
their favorite larval food
sources.
Caterpillar Habitat
The basics of wildlife habitat
are the same: food, water, and
shelter. What makes butterfly
habitat more complicated is the
way these insects develop. The
pretty flowers produce sweet liq-
uid nectar that is used by many
adult butterflies as a source of
moisture and energy. But baby
butterflies we know them as
caterpillars are different.
Designed by nature to be eating
machines, they consume many
times their weight in foliage. If
the right kinds of leaves are not
present, the caterpillar can not
grow, and there will be no but-
terflies.
There is one curious excep-
tion to the plant-eating diets of
caterpillars: Harvester Butterfly
caterpillars are the only known
predatory butterflies in North


UNIVERSITY OF
FLORIDA
IFAS EXTENSION
America. Larval Harvesters eat
woolly aphids, scale insects or
treehoppers that are found on
certain trees. The trees that host
this special food source include
only one locally adapted plant -
the Carolina or .Pop Ash. So
planting this tree to grow these
sucking insects for caterpillar
food may be essential to see
Harvesters in our area of the
state.
Florida Yard owners that wish
to have colorful butterflies know
that if they want more of these
flying jewels, certain plants
around their landscape will look
ragged. And if the desire is to see
certain kinds of butterflies, spe-
cific kinds of plants must be in
the area for egg laying and cater-
pillar chewing.
Butterfly groups
have similar needs
Butterfly relatives are
grouped on similar physical
characteristics. Often these
groups have similar larval plant
food needs. This will- make it
.easier for enthusiastic butterfly
gardeners to plan for the kinds
of creatures they wish to see in
their Florida Yard. -
Some caterpillars prefer


leaves from certain trees and
shrubs common .in our area.
Enthusiastic butterfly gardeners
don't need to add these to the
local landscape. For example,
larval Viceroys need Willow
trees, while Emperor Caterpil-
lars consume leaves of hackber-
ry trees.
Swallowtails need different
kinds of woody plants for their
habitat. Palamedes Swallowtail
eat any of the several Bay trees
found in our wetland areas,
Tiger Swallowtails consume the
Bay leaves, but can get by with
Tuliptrees, Black Cherry or Ash -
which are not well adapted to
local areas. The Giant Swallow-
tail will eat any of the citrus rela-
tives such as the native Wild
Lime or Hercules Club, but to
the detriment of citrus growers,
they can also eat foliage from
Orange or Grapefruit Trees.
Among the Brush-foot butter-
flies, some larvae have specific
dietary needs, while others have
broad food plant choices. Amer-
ican Lady Caterpillars need sun-
flower relatives like Ironweed
(Vernonia) or Rabbit Tobacco
(Gnaphalium obtusifolium).
Red Admirals need various net-
tles to feed on and thank good-
ness that the locally found False
Nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica) is
not the stinging kind. Ever won-
der why the Painted Lady is so
common? Part of it is that there
are hundreds of larval host
plants for their caterpillars,
including many thistles, mal-


lows, and various legumes.
Favored foods of many of the
small Grass Skippers are lawn
grasses, sedges, and native grass-
es. Others have very specific diet
needs such as saw palmettos or
cannas. Another group the
Spread-wing Skippers prefer to
eat legumes including weedy
beggar's ticks, clover found in
pastures, or even the beans in
our vegetable gardens.
A final group of local butter-
flies worth noting are the various
Sulphurs and Whites. Among
the three kinds of local sulphurs,
legumes are their favored diet,
so plants as the Cassias and joint
vetches (Aeschynomene sp.)
can be used to encourage these
yellow beauties. The White but-
terflies, such as the Cabbage
Butterfly, rarely need encourage-
ment. As their name implies,
they are fond of plants from the
mustard family, including .culti-
vated cabbage, wetland water
cress, and the comm. Weedy
Shepard's Purse.
Butterflies can be encour-
aged by making some changes
in the way you-care for your
Florida Yard. These "flying flow-
ers" can be more common if
some host plants can be spared
from mowing or herbicides.
Adding critical plants to your
Florida Yard can also be done,
but remember the basics of
growing plants still apply: don't
put plants where they are riot
adapted. After the Indepen-
dence Day'holiday, I'll be post-


ing on the Internet a chart listing
local butterflies and their
favored nectar and larval plants.
Please let me know if you see
any additions or corrections to
this listing we want it to work
for our community.
Chew on this event
The public grand opening of
"Butterfly Haven" takes place
Saturday, 'July 22 from 10 a.m.
until 3 p.m. Admission for
adults, with no charge for chil-
dren 12 and under, will include a
snack and a beverage. In addi-
tion to a butterfly garden tour,
visitors also will be able to see

Lake Okeechobee was mystery to explorers


By Twila Valentine
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 was
taken from Mrs. Valentine's
"Lake Okeechobee's History."
For many years during the
early history of Florida, Lake
Okeechobee was hidden in myth
and legend. According to
Lawrence Will in his "Cracker
History of Okeechobee" (pub-
lished in 1964), the lake 'was
lonely, silent and mysterious, as
well. It was beautiful and sort of
inspiring, too.'
The first mention of the lake
was during the mid-1500s by
Escalonte de Fortaneda, a
Spaniard captured by the Calusa
Indians and held as a slave for 17
years. He claimed the natives
told him our towns containing 30
or 40 people on the shores of a
great lake called Mayaimi. -
In 1564, two Spaniards who
had been shipwrecked on the
Gulf Coast made their way across
the wilderness to St. Augustine.
They reported that during their
trip, they saw "a great lake of
fresh water named Sarrope."
During later years, the mysteri-
ous undiscovered body of water
was referred to as Lake Mayacco,
Lake Macoco and Laguna del
Esperitu Santo (Lagoon of the
Holy Spirit).
Charles Vignoles, and English
engineer explored the interior of
Florida during 1823, and
although he did not find the lake,
he alluded to its existence in his
report of the St. Lucie River.
The St. Lucie River "... gives
the idea of having traveled al long
region from the west, perhaps in
the much-talked-of-Lake-Maya-
co, which like the fountain of
youth, has never been found," he
wrote.
The "Big Water" remained a

pioneers and history


legend until the 1830s when the
U.S. Army pursued Indians to its
shores. In 1856, following the
Indian Wars, a Lieutenant Ives
drew a military map which con-
tained relatively accurate draw-
ings of Lake Okeechobee, the
Everglades and Big Cypress in
detail.
Lake Okeechobee, 730 square
miles, is the second largest fresh
water lake within the boundaries
of the United States. Only Lake
Michigan is larger. The lake cov-
ers a half million acres and offers
135 miles of shoreline.
Before being discovered by
man, the lake stood high and
clear, its waters broken only by
Kreamer, Torrey, Ritta and Obser-
vations Islands. It is a shallow
lake, the deepest portions near
the center of the lake, are no
lower than sea level. Before the
invasion of man, it was never
more than 20 feet at its deepest
part. The bottom of the lake was
hard muck, sand and shell.
There was an invisible divid-
ing line marking the differences
in the growth of plant life on the
shores of the lake. From the
south shore and half-way along
the eastern shoreline running
north, there were a solid belt of
tropical trees 'called Custard
Apple trees. These were-blanket-
ed with a Moonvine cover. The
stand of trees covered 32,000
acres, some two miles in width,
with a break or opening.- The
woods ran from near Clewis-
ton's Sand Point to Port Mayaca.
While the shores, for the most
part, were black muck, the

Wars. A Lieutenant Ives drew a map of Florida which showed
Lake Okeechobee rather accurately.


shoreline did boast of some
sandy beaches.
On the eastern shore of the
lake, East Beach stretched north-
ward for some 18 miles. Across
the lake, Bid Bare Beach has a
wide sandy strand.
The lake's main outlet along
its southern and eastern shores,
was the overflow, trickling and
spilling over its entire south side,
across the custard apple ridge
and into the dead rivers there.
Water stood all over the land
from knee deep to waist deep
year 'round, except in the driest
years.
As the water continued its
flow southward, it entered saw-
:grass standing in continuous
water and this "sea of grass"
reached unbroken to nearly the
state's southern tip.
At the southwestern arc of the
lake shore, the vegetation was
sparser, consisting of great
stretches of willows and elder
bushes. In this part of the lake,


the bottom was flat and grown
over with Flags, Bonnets and
high grass. When the lake rose
during heavy periods of rain, the
shoreline could expand as much
as six miles or so.
The northern shoreline of the
lake offered dense, crowded
stands of Water Oak, Cypress,
Pop ash, Rubber and Palmetto
trees. For a distance of some 30
miles north of the lake were
prairie lands and pine forests.
This prairie land was unbroken
except for some patches of
pitchy pines some 15 inches in
diameter, stretching their
branches up to 100 feet skyward.
Dotting the prairie -were
.numerous small pools which
achieved their names by the
types of growth found in them,
i.e. sawgrass ponds, flag ponds
and maiden cane.
Meandering over this prairie
scene for a distance of more than
100 miles was the Kissimmee
River.
