launches drive



on referendum


Glades County Economic
Developnient Director Tracy-
Whirls will be visiting school
board, city council and commu-
nity associations throughout
Glades County in August to pro-
mote an economic develop-
ment ad valorem tax abatement
incentive referendum on the
Sept. 5 primary election ballot.
"Over half of Florida's 67
counties have local option ad
valorem tax incentive programs,
that are very successful in attract.
ing new jobs," Ms. Whirls said.
"St Lucie County adopted an
ecntqmic .,.celk'prnent _tax
abatement incentive in 1992 and
by 1997 had increased its nona-
gricultural emploYment by 3,000
jobs


"Recently, the city of Clew\is-
ton made news locally, offering
City Mattress more than $1 5 mil-
lion in local incentives to site
their manufacturing plant
there," the Glades CountN EDC
director said '"Of the sLx counties
in the Heartland region, High-
lands, Hardee, DeSoto, Hendry
and Okeechobee Counties,
Glades is only one of two which
does not offer economic deiel-
opment ad valorem tax abate-
ment incentives. This puts us at a
disadvantage when competing
for companies looking to site in
our region."

toi. the Glades County Board of

GLADES COUNTY It's
become a tradition in Glades
County special events for the
new teachers who have come to
-he co, unty to cast their lot in our
schools.
The event is more or less
spread over three days from 8
a.m. to 3 p.m., beginning with
breakfast followed by sessions at
the schools which introduce the
newcomers to staff and others
as well as walking tours.-
Important printed informa-
tion is handed out, along with
general "How-tos" and special
. training sessions on new tech-
nology in teaching.
One of the events this year
was by Glades County Property
Appraiser Larry Luckeywho pre-
sented a slide presentation of the
county which included pointing
out settlements over the county,
where the principal activities
take place, and the rather convo-
luted outline of the county.
For instance, the out-of-the-
ordinary shape of both the north
and south county line that runs
east to west in both cases. For
years, these two "jogs" some

It's been more than a year
since the slough has stretched and
spread out across the soft, green
land, dotted and spiked with purp-
ley-blue pickerel weed and
sprawling golden groups of Flori-
da's state wildflower, coreopsis.
But now, once again, its wide rib-
bons. are reflecting billowing
clouds and birds in flight. These
are the water birds that instinctive-
ly know where the best wiggley
creatures and crustaceans are
upon which they feed.
And goldenrod is galloping
alongside roadways, fence rows
and long narrow division corri-
dors between fields and groves
and pastures. Although this
native wildflower blooms more
or less in all seasons in the Land
of Flowers, it is in mid-summer
when her feathery, arching
flower heads are the most strik-


"I am very grateful for all the support the Conm-
munity association has given West Glades

has had to do was to let it be known about a
certain project or a certain need and they've
offered help. They've been very accommodat-
ing and we are all most appreciativee"

the result of certain political
issues at that time. Luckeh also
touched upon wildlife and the
water of Glades County, the two
most prominent being The Big
Lake Okeechobee and the
Caloosahatchee.
West Glades Principal Larry
Luckey, Jr. said, "Since 1997
great emphasis has been placed
on Q Tips Committee of Glades
County meaning: Quality
Teachers Insure Productive Stu-

was hosted by several Muse

ing. It is not unusual for golden-
rod to reach up five to six feet.
In locations of open sun to
part shade, in both town and
country, the small, fragrant, white
flowers of elderberries that
bloom in fan-like flattish heads
are also at their peak in summer-
time. And, often it's a toss-up as
to whether there are more cluster
blooms on a plant or more ripe
berries which when fully ripe
hang in heavy clusters of small,
shiny black berries. Another toss-
up is whether to. spend available
time picking native grapes or
elderberries for jelly, jam, or
home-made wine. Since both are
readily available along roadsides
and ditches, beside canals and
ponds, open lots and hedgerows,
they're both easy to come by.
And more and more, elderberries
are being used by landscapers as

CREW gathers volunteers to



build new homes rebuild lives


C.R.E.W., Inc. has partnered
with others to help build the Gar-
cia's home this week. What an
incredible accomplishment. Pastor
Woods from a Lutheran Church in
Indiana brought a group of seven
adults on their vacation time to
build a house in five days. They
have done an incredible job. Com-
munity member, Dave Adams,
who poured the concrete free of
charge and local churches who
provided food and shelter to the
group while they were here, have
helped make the week a success.
Cross Training Ministries, Mike
and David Pittman, Eric Mergott,
Kris Smith, Chase Richardson,
Dwight Willis, Bradley Crumb, Ray
Taft, and Rev. John Hicks, all volun-
teered time and muscle. Carson
Turner of Quality Electric City of
Clewiston, Hendry County and City
of Clewiston employees, CREW
staff and friends and family of the
Garcia family have all pitched to
help as well in different ways. Local

TALLAHASSEE Education
Commissioner John L. Winn and
Community College and Work-
force Education Chancellor David
Armstrong today announced the
start of Phase Two of the public
awareness campaign, "I Always
Waited to..." launched in March.
The campaign encourages people
to consider their career options
then directs them to Florida's
Workforce Education programs.
The second phase of the campaign
adds television and radio public
service announcements and other
elements to the already successful
campaign.
"It is never too late for someone
to accomplish their dreams of
acquiring an education or a new
career," said Commissioner Winn.
"It is our goal that this campaign
will raise awareness that Florida's
Workforce Education programs
can help make dreams a reality."


The campaign carries out a pri-
ority of Commissioner Winn and
members of the Florida Legislature
to prepare people for success by
appealing directly to their needs.
Workforce Education provides rig-
orous academics combined with
practical, high-skill education that
prepares people for their chosen
career path.
"Those who complete Work-
force Education programs are
proven to earn higher wages and
have better job opportunities," said
Chancellor Armstrong. "Given our
commitment to maintaining the
academic rigor and real-world rele-
vance of the programs being
offered, more and more business
and industry partners are realizing
the value of hiring our program
completers."
Phase Two of the campaign
includes television, radio and print
components that spotlight individ-

completers who have achieved
their career goals. These compo-
nents also include a broad spec-
trum of students in specific careers
such as nursing, manufacturing,
construction and teaching. Some
of the ads %ill appear in Spanish so
that non English speakers can find
out how to10 enroll in \Vorklorce
Education programs.
The Department of Education
(DOE) partnered with the Florida
Cable Telecommunications Asso-
ciation to distribute the public serv-
ice announcement to the stations
in their network. This partnership
was made possible by the support
of the Florida Loltter). In addition,
54 non-cable television stations, '58
radio stations, and many of the
major newspapers are being con-
tacted to expand exposure of the
campaign to more markets
statewide.
Another element of the cam-
paign that began in Phase One and
will continue in Phase Two is the
creation of customizable materials,
such as billboards and posters, to
which community colleges and
career centers could add their local
contact information and use as
part of their own recruitment cam-
paign. Charlotte Technical Center
in Port Charlotte was one institu-
tion that fully embraced the cus-
tomizable nature of the campaign.
"We worked closely with the
graphic design staff at the DOE to
create posters, catalog covers,
mouse pads, coffee mugs,
notepads and even candy wrap-
pers that utilize the branding of this
statewide Workforce Education
campaign, but provide local details
such as the specific programs we
offer and our contact information,
so people from our area know
exactly how to reach us," said Car-
olyn Gorton, Coordinator of Post-
secondary Programs at Charlotte
Technical Center. "We also used
these pieces to get the buy-in of the
teachers and administrators as we
'pull together all the elements of our
recruitment campaign for the
year."
"Participation in the campaign
has certainly helped with our
enrollments for the fall as well," Mr.


Gorton explains. "We're looking
really good. We are at capacity for
our adult education programs and
we expect enrollments in our other
programs which begin in a few
weeks to be up by more than 200
students this year."
Phase One of the campaign has
generated interest from the public.
The DOE established a hotline and
created a special section of its web-
site with information about the
specific Workforce Education pro-
grams offered at local community
colleges or career centers. Since
the campaign began in March, hits
to the Workforce Education web
pages have doubled and the num-
ber of calls received through the
hotline continues to increase.
"We felt it was critical to the
success of this campaign that we
offer the public user-friendly web
content that would provide them
with accurate information about
the workforce education pro-
grams," said Chancellor Arm-
strong. "Also, having a hotline they
can call and speak with a staff per-
son who will find the answer to
their question within 24 hours has
proven to be a vital service in get-
ting students into the programs
they are interested in more quick-
ly."
Florida's Workforce Education
programs provide career and tech-
nical education, as well as other
educational services, that help peo-
ple attain those skills that enable
them to become or remain eco-
nomically self-sufficient. The stu-
dent populations served by the
workforce programs include indi-
viduals who are entering the work-
force for the first time, seeking to
upgrade their skills, or retraining to
meet the changing demands of the
economy. Public Workforce Edu-
cation programs served more than
823,000 students in 2003-04. These
programs, provided by 28 commu-
nity colleges and 58 of the 67
school districts throughout the
state, are overseen by the DOE's
office of Workforce and Economic
Development.

The return of the 'Write-In Scam'


By Senator Dave Aronberg
Special to INI
It's happening again. Every
two years, Florida faces an epi-
demic of "write-in" candidates
whose only motivation for run-
ning for office is to prevent people
from voting. In a State infamous
for its election flaws, the write-in
loophole is perhaps the worst of
all, disenfranchising hundreds of
thousands and perhaps millions
- of Florida voters since the year
2000.
In 1998, Florida voters over-
whelmingly (64 percent) passed a
constitutional amendment that
allows everyone to vote in an
election when all the candidates
come from the same political
party. The amendment was espe-
cially important because Florida
politicians take away most com-
petitive elections when they ger-


rymander the district lines every
10 years. By drawing "safe" dis-
tricts dominated by either Repub-
licans or Democrats, the politi-
cians ensure that candidates from
only one party will win.
Although the politicians elimi-
nated most competitive elections,
the 1998 constitutional amend-
ment gave non-Republicans a
voice in Republican districts, and
non-Democrats a say in Democra-
tic districts.
Since then, the politicians have
found a way to get around the
voter-approved Constitutional
amendment by getting their
friends to run as "write-in" candi-
dates. These sham candidates do
not have to submit a filing fee or
any petition signatures to qualify
for the election. Their names do
not even appear on the ballot.'
They have no chance of winning,
and that's the point: They exist


not to attract voters, but to silence
them.
Since 2002, the Legislature has
rejected my yearly attempts to
close this insidious loophole.
After all, it's tough to ask politi-
cians who benefit from the sys-
tem to change the system. Since
1998, the problem has become
worse and the sham candidates
themselves have become more
brazen.
Recently in Miami-Dade Coun-
ty, more than 100,000 voters were
disenfranchised when a support-
er of one of the two Republican
candidates for Senate filed as a
write-in candidate. The sham can-
didate then gloated that prevent-
ing a majority of the electorate
from voting was his "best contri-
bution" to the Republican Party.
In Duval County, a candidate for
State Senate personally escorted
two-write in candidates to the


elections office so he could
deprive 167,000 non-Republicans
from voting in his election. Prov-
ing that this is a bipartisan scam,
382,000 people in Pinellas County
had their vote taken away when a
Democratic County Commission
candidate drafted his own brother
to be a write-in "opponent."
Defenders of this ruse say
Republicans should, not vote in
Democratic primaries and vice
versa. Such reasoning ignores an
inconvenient truth: the people of
Florida amended our State Consti-
tution to allow open elections in
situations like these. Politicians
can disagree with the Constitu-
tion, but they are still obliged to
uphold it.
Senator Dave Aronberg repre-
sents District 27, which covers
parts of Palm Beach, Lee, Glades,
Charlotte and Hendry counties.


Guest Commentary


Everglades progress makes giant steps


By Carol Ann Wehle
Executive Director, South Florida
Water Management District
2006 is proving to be a very
good year for Everglades Restora-
tion. From the halls of Congress to
the chambers of county commis-
sions, Everglades projects contin-
ue to get the green light. Last
week's Senate passage of the
Water Resources Development
Act is, for me, icing on the cake of
a very productive year. And it's
only July.
Here in South Florida, we have
already started digging, literally.
Four groundbreaking in the past
six months launched construc-
tion on critical reservoirs and
treatment wetlands that will
improve the Everglades ecosys-
tem, our coastal estuaries and
Lake Okeechobee. These projects
are part of the state's Acceler8 ini-
tiative, an action-oriented plan for
stepping up the pace on eight key
restoration projects.
Construction of the largest


Acceler8 project begins in a few
days when we turn dirt on a giant
water storage reservoir in the
Everglades Agricultural Area
(EAA), south of Lake Okee-
chobee. At 25 square miles, it will
be the size of the city of Boca
Raton and the largest constructed
water body in the state. Fittingly
called Acceler8's flagship, the
EAA Reservoir A-1 will hold 62 bil-
lion gallons of water, the volume
of 100,000 Olympic-sized swim-
ming pools, capturing regulatory
releases from Lake Okeechobee
as well as stormwater runoff in
the region. However, the reser-
voir's full impact will be felt
throughout South Florida, reduc-
ing freshwater flows to the coastal
estuaries, lowering water levels in
Lake Okeechobee and improving
the timing and flow of water into
the Everglades. That may sound
like a tall order, but that's what a
16,000-acre reservoir can do.
This kind of progress, on this
scale, is never possible by a single
agency working alone. Local sup-


port at the city and county level
has been unprecedented for Ever-
glades Restoration. Martin Coun-
ty, for example, contributed $27.4
million to help buy land for an
Acceler8 reservoir and treatment
wetland now being built near the
east coast. Hendry County is part-
nering in workforce development
for construction of an Acceler8
reservoir near the west coast,
ensuring that people and local
businesses thrive at the same time
we invest in the environment.
In Tallahassee, Governor Jeb
Bush guided the efforts to acceler-
ate these key Everglades projects
with specialized funding, ensur-
ing that our momentum would
not be slowed. Under his vision
and leadership, Florida has com-
mitted $3.2 billion through the
end of the decade to clean up and
restore the famed River of Grass.
State legislators have supported
these initiatives, this year alone
budgeting more than $160 million
for continued restoration of the
Everglades and Lake Okee-


chobee.
In the U.S. Congress, the long-
awaited Water Resources Devel-
opment Act was approved by the
Senate last week, underscoring
the commitment of our federal
partners. WRDA's passage moves
construction of the $1.2 billion
Indian River Lagoon South
restoration project and Acceler8's
$342 million Picayune Strand
restoration project an important
step closer to implementation.
Of course, there is still much
work to do. Appropriation of fed-
eral funds is still needed; land for
projects must still be purchased;
engineering designs need public
input and approval for construc-
tion. All of this is a big order, but
thinking big is what Everglades
Restoration is all about. No single
effort alone will achieve restora-
tion goals, but people and agen-
cies and projects working togeth-
er will. The year 2006 is
demonstrating what a powerful
formula that is for success.

Bronson announces assistance program


TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bron-
son announced a program that
will assist forest landowners in
the management of their proper-
ty. The department's Division of
Forestry will hold a sign-up for
enrollment in the Forest Land
Enhancement Program (FLEP)
from Aug. 4 through Sept. 15.
The program, authorized
under the 2002 Farm Bill, is avail-
able to non-industrial private for-
est landowners on a 75-25 cost
share basis for most practices.
Eligible practices include, but
are not limited to: site prepara-
tion, tree planting, and pre-
scribed burning activities.
Landowners who own at least
10 acres but no more that 10,000
acres of land who have a multi-
ple-resource practice plan will


be eligible to receive funding
assistance under FLEP. A maxi-
mum of $10,000 will be available
for each qualifying landowner
over the life of the program as
reimbursement for incurred
expenses for approved practices.
Almost half of the state's 14
million acres of forestland is
owned by private non-industrial
forest landowners. According to
national, regional and statewide
landowner surveys, most forest
landowners don't have a man-
agement plan for their property.
The state's allocation under the
program will be used for imple-
mentation of forest practices
prescribed in existing or newly
developed management plans.
"It benefits everyone when an
approach stressing best man-
agement practices is in place for
forested property," Bronson

Question: Dear Doc Savvy. I
just adopted a ferret. I have no
idea what they need as far as vet
care.
Do I have to take my ferret to
the vet? Do ferrets need shots?
Thanks, Ashley in Clewiston.
Answer: Hi Ashley. Yes, ferrets
should go to the vet once a year as
adults. When they are kits,
(young ones) they should have
multiple visits. The adults need to
have a special ferret distemper
and rabies vaccination once a
year. They should also be checked
for worms and have an annual
physical exam. Ferrets are suscep-
tible to heart worms and should
take a monthly heartworm pre-
ventative just like cats and dogs.
The kits need to have a series of
boosters, and de-wormers start-
ing at eight weeks of age. All fer-
rets bought and sold in the USA
are already spayed, neutered and


de-scented. It is a mandatory
requirement- for all breeders.
Hope that helps Ashley.
Take care, Doc Savvy.

with manners?


1Clteyis tOn,


--The -Sun-


A legitimate role for the press is that of "the public's watchdog." Most cit-
izens can't spend the time necessary to personally observe their public
officials at work, or to determine how well public institutions are carrying
out their public mission.

But too many newspapers these days act more like "mad dogs" than
"watchdogs."

We're proud to be different. We try to carry out our "watchdog" role as
humble representatives of the public, always maintaining a courteous
tone and our reputation for purposeful neutrality.

How are we doing?

Let us know by mailing feedback@newszap.com or calling your editor.

Education commissioner in campaign Earth Talk


TALLAHASSEE Education
Commissioner John L. Winn and
Community College and Work-
force Education Chancellor David
Armstrong today announced the
start of Phase Two of the public
awareness campaign, "I always
wanted to," launched in March.
The campaign encourages peo-
ple to consider their career
options then directs them to Flori-
da's Workforce Education pro-
grams. The second phase of the
campaign adds television and
radio public service announce-
ments and other elements to the
already successful campaign.
"It is never too late for some-
one to accomplish their dreams of
acquiring an education or a new
career," said Commissioner Winn.
"It is our goal that this campaign
will raise awareness that Florida's
Workforce Education programs
can help make dreams a reality."
The campaign carries out a
priority of Commissioner Winn
and members of the Florida Leg-
islature to prepare people for suc-
cess by appealing directly to their
needs. Workforce Education pro-


vides rigorous academics com-
bined with practical, high-skill
education that prepares people
for their chosen career path.
"Those who complete Work-
force Education programs are
proven to earn higher wages and
have better job opportunities,"
said Chancellor Armstrong.
Phase Two of the campaign
includes television, radio and print
components that spotlight individ-
ual Workforce Education program
completers who have achieved
their career goals. These compo-
nents also include a broad spec-
trum of students in specific careers
such as nursing, manufacturing,
construction and teaching. Some
of the ads will appear in Spanish so
that non-English speakers can find
out how to enroll in Workforce
Education programs.
The Department of Education
(DOE) partnered with the Florida
Cable Telecommunications Asso-
ciation to distribute the public
service announcement to the sta-
tions in their network. This part-
nership was made possible by the
support of the Florida Lottery. In

addition, 54 non-cable television
stations, 58 radio stations, and
many of the major newspapers
are being contacted to expand
exposure of the campaign to
more markets statewide.
Another element of the cam-
paign that began in Phase One
and will continue in Phase Two is
the creation of customizable
materials, such as billboards and
posters, to which community col-
leges and career centers could
add their local contact informa-
tion and use as part of their own
recruitment campaign.
Phase One of the campaign
has generated interest from the
public. The DOE established a
hotline and created a special sec-
tion of its' Web site with informa-
tion about the specific Workforce
Education programs offered at
local community colleges or
career centers. "We felt it was crit-
ical to the success of this caim-
paign that we offer the public
user-friendly web content that
would provide them with accu-
rate information about the work-
force education programs," said

From the Editors of E/The
Environmental Magazine
Dear EarthTalk: Are there any
Amway-like multi-level marketing
companies that focus on environ-
mentally friendly products?
Dave Miller, Fresno, Calif.
Back in the 1950s, Amway and
a handful of other consumer prod-
ucts companies first pioneered the
concept of "multi-level market-
ing" (MLM). In this business
model, individuals act as distribu-
tors, selling the company's prod-
ucts from home while also recruit-
ing others to do the same. In doing
so, they earn commissions on
both their own sales and on the
sales of those they recruit. In
recent years, a number of MLM
companies have sprouted up with
environmentally friendly products
as their focus.
The most well known of the
crop is Shaklee, which has been
selling green-friendly nutrition,
personal care and household
products since 1956, when
research chemist Dr. Forrest Shak-
lee started the company. Since
then, perhaps in an effort to live
up to Dr. Shaklee's personal motto
("Follow the laws of nature and
you'll never go wrong");, the com-
pany has .wracked up a long list of
eco-accomplishments. Back in
1960 it introduced the first mass
marketed biodegradable cleaning


product, Basic-H, an all-natural
formula that has since been
adopted as an official Earth Day
product. More recently, Shaklee
became the first independently
verified "climate neutral" compa-
ny in the world, offsetting its' car-
bon dioxide emissions with
investments in various renewable
energy projects. And just this year,
Shaklee embarked upon an ambi-
tious campaign to plant a million
trees with the help of thousands of
its independent distributors.
Another big player in the green
MLM field is Idaho-based Melaleu-
ca, which has been selling natural
health care, personal care and
household products since 1985.
The name Melaleuca is borrowed
from a plant that produces organ-
ic essential oils found in many of
the company's products.
Meanwhile, Amazon Herb
Company offers opportunities to
sell herbal remedies derived from
rainforest plants. "Amazon John"
Easterling, who first discovered
the healing power of herbs when
Shipibo Indians used them to treat
him when he fell ill during a visit to
the Amazon rainforest, founded
the company in 1990. Another up-
and-coming player is Krystal Plan-
et, which sells compact fluores-
cent light bulbs, solar heaters, fuel
additives and other energy saving
products for home, car and office.


Schools in area have


cell phone
Students will be allowed to
possess a cell phone on campus
and on a school district bus. How-
ever, all cell phones must be
turned off and out of sight on the
bus and during the school hours
of 8 a.m. 2:50 p.m. Phones with
the power on or in sight will be
considered "in use" and the fol-
lowing disciplinary actions will be
strictly enforced.
First offense: the phone will
be confiscated and held in the
office until the end of the school
day the student can retrieve it at


policy
that time.
Second offense: The phone
will be confiscated and held in the
front office until a parent retrieves
it.
*Third offense: The phone will
be confiscated and held in the
front office until the end of the
school year.
Please discuss this policy with
your children. Thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
William Patterson
Assistant Principal

County Commissioners and
Glades County Manager Wendell
Taylor recognize that the incen-
tive is needed if we are to com-
pete successfully.
"The Board of County Commis-
sioners voted unanimously last
October, at the recommendation of
County Manager Wendell Taylor, to
put the economic development ad
valorem incentive on the ballot,"
Ms. Whirls said. "Glades County
voters previously approved a simi-
lar incentive, which gave commis-
sioners the opportunity to give
companies seeking to locate or
expand in Glades County the
option of applying for the tax
exemption, back in 1994."
That exemption has since
expired, Ms. Whirls said.
"Now we're asking voters to
renew the referendum in Septem-
ber, which merely asks if the Board
of County Commissioners of
Glades County should be author-
ized to grant property tax exemp-
tions to new businesses and expan-
sions of existing businesses," Ms.
Whirls said. "The referendum
doesn't mean any company will be
guaranteed an exemption, but it
gives the commissioners the ability
to grant from zero to 100 percent


new title will help him reach his
goal of seeing Glades County
expand and become a better part
of the state.
"I am very pleased that the
Board of County Commissioners
feel strongly enough about devel-
opment that they feel the Commu-
nity Development Department
should be under the supervision of
a Deputy County Manager. I am
pleased that they feel I am the right
person for that position," said Mr.
Hilton.

Glades County Voters will vote a

the candidate's name or issue is to

we have been using for a couple of
elections in Glades County and the
entire process has been flawless.
One touchscreen voting

machine will be set up in each

place to grow. For as many years as
they've been growing, their very
common name has simply been
"buttercup". And, of course,
throughout the region there are
many more in this golden group of
wildflowers.
For those who think highly of
wildflowers it's best to remember
that those which are annuals must
go to seed to produce plants and
flowers the next year. Thus, the
plea to cut sparingly, if at all. Nor-
mally perennials will reappear
without going to seed. However,
many perennials do produce seed,
thus increasing their chances for
multiple plants and flowers the
next year.
Wildflowers do not transplant
easily or satisfactorily most of the
time. It is best to look at them and
love them, enjoying their beauty in
their natural habitat.
And there's another golden
gem of a flox: er -although in no
way native-that cannot be over-


exemption from ad valorem taxes
for a period of up to ten years, if
they choose to, based on the actual
number of jobs the new or expand-
ing business is expected to create.
"Businesses will have to apply
to the Board of County Commis-
sioners for the incentives. Each
application will be considered on a
case by case basis. All applications,
discussions and debates will be a
matter of public record," the eco-
nomic development director and
former newspaper editor
explained.
Projections will be reviewed
each year, Ms. Whirls added.
For those concerned about the
potential impact of lost tax revenue
on the county, Ms. Whirls said the
incentives are expected to be used
sparingly.
"I don't think this county's
board of commissioners or its
county manager is going to give
away the farm," Ms. Whirls said. "If
the only reason a company is look-
ing to site in a particular communi-
ty are the tax incentives available to
them, the chances are good that
that's a company you may not
want anyway.
"But if a company is looking
and all other factors are equal-
you're drawing from the same
labor pool, both sites have good
highway access, available infra-
structure and other factors are

given West Glades School ever
since it opened. All we, as a
school, has had to do was to let it
be known about a certain project
or a certain need and they've
offered help. They've been very
accommodating and we are all
most appreciative."
Tax Collector Gail Jones: "This.
is the second year I've actually
been one of the sponsors, howev-
er, this is my first year to be here in
person. Last year something inter-
fered and I was not able to attend.
I think it's a good idea to meet the
teachers, particularly new ones in
the area who may have questions.
Of course they're all busy getting
ready for a new school year and
may not have time to come to my
office, so if I'm here at this event I
can answer their .questions
regarding change of titles and
tags, etc. Besides, I want to per-
sonally welcome them to our
community. I think these events
for these three days is a wonderful
idea. I hope they'll like it here and
will stay with us."
School Board Member Mrs.
Donald (Cathy) Peeples said, "I'm
happy to say that we have some
excellent new teachers this year.
We're so glad to have each and
every one of them in our school
system.
"Speaking from the standpoint
of the school board, we are very
frustrated because there is so little
housing in this area. It's terribly
difficult for our new teachers to


looked for sheer spectacular
beauty, low-to-no maintenance
and being readily available. Hibis-
cus, the most widely planted trop-
ical flower in the state of Florida,
and time has proven that its use as
a hedge or screen is the most pop-
ular. Although there are those
who prefer a kaleidoscope of
color, it's often most effective to
plant one color/variety when
being used as a continuous hedge
or screen. And yes, when hisbis-
cus is kept cut back or severely
pruned, blooms will be few and
far between. When left to its' own
devices, its rate of growth is rapid,
shrubby and robust and its
parade of flowers is unending. A
native of China, it grows 7 to 15
feet with only modest attention,
and hibiscus does not feel insult-
ed at being pruned modestly
(even by a novice who does noth-
ing more than "chop" off too-long
branches). However, its "figure"
can be greatly improved with-a lit-


roughly the same, then the avail-
ability of local option tax incen-
tives may be the factor that tips
the scales in our favor," Ms.
Whirls said.
Furthermore, Ms. Whirls said,
the downstream benefits from suc-
cessful business recruitment will
far exceed what the county might
give up in ad valorem taxes.
"While we may not collect all of
the possible taxes the new or
expanding business might be
expected to pay for a few years, we
will be getting the continual and
expanding economic benefits of
the new jobs, increased spending
by the employees and the business,
and increased property values that
result from the economic growth
brought about by the new or
expanded business," Ms. Whirls
said, noting that with new business
development, new housing and
retail can be expected to follow.
"This is particularly true of busi-
nesses which might site in the
county's new business and com-
merce park, which will generate
considerable revenue for the City of
Moore Haven and Glades County
for water and sewer service, and is
very likely to spur new housing
construction in the city and its envi-
rons."

is important to remember that
these exemptions only apply to

Flies used to battle fire ants


Go to newszap.com to download and print coupons online!


By MaiyAnn Morris
INI
Floridians are at ,Var with fire
ants. These invasive insects can
inflict painful stings which can
become infected.
The humans may find allies in
the form of fire ants' natural ene-
mies.
Fire ants came into the United
States from South America, thus
they are called imported fire ants.
There are two kinds of fire ants.
The black imported fire ant
was accidentally introduced into
Mobile, Ala., around 1918, and
now infests a small area in
Alabama and northern Mississip-
pi. The red imported fire ant
entered the United States proba-
bly in the, 1930s. It was most like-
ly introduced with cargo or in
the soil used as ballast in ships
from South America that were
unloaded in the Mobile area. In
the 1940s and early 1950s the red
imported fire ant spread to Flori-
da and other southern states in
nursery stock and sod. Fire ants
currently infest over 260 million
acres in Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North'Carolina, Okla-
homa, South Carolina, Ten-
nessee, Texas, and Puerto Rico.
A fireant bite hurts, stings, and
itches intensely. This can last for
10 days. One remedy is ammonia,
which you can buy in little vials in
the drug store. Be sure you are not
allergic to any of the other ingredi-
ents before you spray and if the
bites continue to be uncomfort-
able or look worse (little blisters
do form), talk to your 'doctor.
They can become infected.
Imported fire ants are aggres-
sive, reddish bro\\ n to black ants
that are one-eighth to one-quar-
ter inch-long. They construct
nests which are often visible as
dome-shaped mounds of soil,
sometimes quite large. But more
often they are just little mounds
of dirt. In sandy soils, mounds are
flatter and less visible. Fire ants
can be anywhere: in open fields,
utility boxes, under fallen branch-
es, in tall clumps of grass along
fence lines, under pavement and
buildings and sometimes even
indoors. If their nests are dis-
turbed, large numbers of ants will
rush out and attack the intruder
by biting fiercely. Of course, to

When applying bait to a fire ant mound, sprinkle it in a ring about three feet out from the
mound, that way you will have the satisfaction of knowing that foraging worker ants will carry
your bait back to the mound and feed it to their queen, killing the colony.


"'The fire ants are so afraid of the flies that they
won't come above ground. In the presence of the
flies, the fire ants stay below literally scared
to death."
Harold Koehler, Ph.D.,
research scientist at the University of Florida


the ants, this is justified.
There was a story told by
some men who worked on a
road crew who saw a co-worker
strip all his clothes off in the mid-
dle of a roadway and jump into a
canal to get fire ants off.
The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture has found natural ene-
mies of the fire ant in South
America which have proven safe
and effective as biological con-
trols. By releasing.its enemies,
the ant threat is reduced. Natural
enemies will spread on their
own, seeking the fire ants. They
will live where the fire ants live.
Both fire ant disease and decapi-
tating flies work well.
The female decapitating fly


lays her eggs inside the ants
head, causing the head to fall off
and the ant to. die. The adult flies
then emerge from the severed
head and attack other fire ants.
In 1997, the release of decapi-
tating flies was begun in Florida
by the U.S. and Florida Depart-,
ments of Agriculture. By 2002
they had spread from coast to
coast. Since then, they have
spread naturally at a satisfactory
rate," according to Harold
Koehler, Ph.D., the primary
research scientist on fire ants at
the University of Florida.
"Three different sizes of flies
are used, they attack different
sizes of worker fire ants," contin-,
ued Mr. Koehler. "The fire ants


are so afraid of the flies that they
won't come above ground In
the presence of the flies, the li,-
ants stay below literally.
scared to death."
Sanford dParker, another
major researcher against, fire
ants. collects the d.-capitating
flies in South America and brings
them back to the United States to
be.quarantined, obser ed and
tested to be sure lhat these indi-
vidual flies will not atll.ack arn\-
tlnrg buti lire ants, before they
art released.
Commercially available fire
ant baits are effective, so is boric
acid, as are insecticides for fire
ants. A non-toxic remedy
involves lots ,of scalding hot
water poured into the mound.
This .is best done early on a
sunny morning when the ants
are close to the surface. That
way, you kill as many as possi-,
ble. More' than one treatment
may be needed.
This information and more to
help the war against fire ants can

Turn Your Lawn into a Butterfly Garden


By Ed Ayen
Florida Yards & Neighborhood
This is another in a series of
articles written about the new
area urban conservation pro-
gram called Florida Yards &
Neighborhoods.
I recently had the privilege of
attending the grand opening of
Arnold's Wildlife Rehabilitation
Center's new butterfly garden.
Arnolds is a nonprofit organiza-
tion about 10 miles north of
Okeechobee dedicated to rescu-
ing and rehabilitating injured and
sick wildlife. Sue Arnold and her
group of volunteers have created
a beautiful garden stocked with
native plants to attract butterflies;
which -leads me to the idea of
replacing some of that grass area
in the yard with native shrubs
suitable for butterflies.
Native plants are the best way
to attract the greatest number of
local, native butterfly species.
Most species have favorite plants
to use for nectar and specific lar-
val plants for food. Butterflies
need larval, nectar and cover
plants to complete their life
cycle. Larval plants provide food
for the caterpillars and nectar
plants provide food for the but-
terflies. Cover trees and shrubs
are also needed for protection
from predators and as a base for
the chrysalis stage.
The best way to get your but-
terfly garden started is to begin
with several plants that make a
good foundation. They should
include a few larval plants such

as Butterfly Weed, Cassia and
Passion Vine and nectar plants
such as Firebush, Porterweed
and Wild Coffee. Good cover
shrubs/trees are saw palmettos,
citrus, oaks, and hollies.
The Butterfly Weed (Asclepias
tuberosa) is a two foot tall peren-
nial which has orange flowers
from spring to fall. It not only
provides nectar but also is a food
plant for Monarch and Queen lar-
vae. A larval food plant for vari-
ous Sulphur butterflies is the
Bahama Cassia (Senna Mexicana
var. Chapmanii), which is a two
foot tall shrub with showy yellow
flowers in the fall and winter. The
native Passion Flower recom-
mended is also called the May-
pop (Passiflora incarnate) and is
a vine which has bluish-purple
flowers all year long It is a lai ial
food source for the Zebra Long-
wing, Gulf Fritillary, Julia and Var-
iegated Fritillary.
A good nectar source for
many butterflies is the Firebush
(Hamelia Patens). It is a very
drought tolerant three to ten foot
tall shrub with orange-red flow-
ers year round. Porterweed
(Stachytarpheta spp '. is a two to
five foot tall nectar shrub with

ers. The Wild Coffee (Psychotria

LABELLE Less than three
months after breaking ground,
South Florida water managers
celebrated the completion of
two 28-acre test cell reservoirs as
part of Florida's Acceler8 Ever-
glades restoration initiative. The
C-43 (Caloosahatchee: River)
West Storage Reservoir test cells
will provide engineers with valu-
able data that will guide design
and construction of the $338 mil-
lion C-43 West Storage Reser-
voir. When complete, the reser-
voir will protect the
Caloosahatchee River and Estu-
ary by capturing and storing
local storm water runoff and
freshwater releases from Lake
Okeechobee.
The South Florida Water Man-
agement District (SFWMD) proj-
ect managers and engineers pro-
vided a series of 40-minute
guided tours .of the test cells
allowing community members
to witness the reservoir's
progress. The two test cells hold
approximately 69 acre-feet each
of water from the Caloosahatch-
ee River the equivalent of
approximately 45 Olympic-sized
pools and provide engineers
with critical water quality,
embankment and seepage infor-
mation to design and build the
C-43 Reservoir, which will be
located on more than 11,000
acres of former agricultural land
known as Berry Groves.
"Completing the important
test cell phase is .a landmark
achievement in Everglades.
restoration," said Florida Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion (DEP) Secretary Colleen M.
Castille. "With more than half of
the Acceler8 projects already
under way, Florida will realize
both the environmental and
social benefits of this monumen-
tal plan years -ahead of sched-
ule."
Located in Hendry County
south of the Caloosahatchee
River and west of the Ortona
lock, the C-43 Reservoir will hold
approximately 170,000 acre-feet


"The great turnout today for the tours is an indi-
cation of the public's high level of interest in the
restoration. The tours also help the public gain a
better understanding of how water storage is crit-
ical to getting the water right to improve the health
of our interconnected Everglades water bodies,
including the Caloosahatchee River and Estuary."
-Alice J. Carlson,
SFWMD Governing Board Member

pools averaging 20 feet deep.
Scheduled to be operational by
2011, the above-ground reser-
voir will comprise a significant
portion of the total water storage
requirement for the entire C-43
basin. The reservoir will capture
and store local storm water
runoff and freshwater, releases
from Lake Okeechobee, reduc-
ing discharges to the coastal.
estuaries. improving the health
of the ecosystem and revitalizing
fish and oyster habitats by main-
taining salinity levels. The proj-
ect will also provide public
access and recreation opportuni-
ties for outdoor enthusiasts.
"The great turnout today for
the tours is an indication of the
public's high level of interest in
the restoration," said SFWMD
Governing Board Member Alice
J. Carlson. "The tours also help
the public gain a better under-
standing of how water storage is
critical to getting the water right
to improve the health of our
interconnected Everglades water
bodies, including the Caloosa-
hatchee River and Estuary."
The C-43 (Caloosahatchee
River) West Reservoir Project is
one of four Acceler8 projects
launched this year. The State
started construction on three
treatment wetland expansions in
February, the C-44 (St. Lucie
River) Reservoir/Storm water
Treatment Area in March and the


Water Preserve Area/Acme Basin
B Discharge Project construction
in June.
On August 2, the State will
begin construction on the Ever-
glades Agricultural Area Reser-
voir, the largest of the three
Acceler8 reservoirs, which will
have the capacity to store
approximately 62 billion gallons
of water when complete. The
reservoir will improve the timing
and quality of water delivered to
America's Everglades.
Announced by Governor Jeb
Bush in: October 2004, Acceler8
is stepping up the pace of fund-
ing, design and construction to
complete eight critical Ever-
glades restoration projects over
seven years. At substantial sav-
ings to taxpayers, the projects
will restore 100,000 acres of wet-
lands, expand water treatment
areas by close to 29,000 acres
and provide 418,00.0 acre-feet of
additional water storage for
Everglades restoration a decade
ahead of schedule.
Under the leadership of Gov-
ernor Bush, Florida has forged
ahead to implement the Com-
prehensive Everglades Restora-
tion 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.

gladesnow.org.

Listen to your children about school fears


Starting a new school year
can be stressful for children.
Kids may be nervous about
meeting new classmates, or
working with a new teacher.
They may have difficulty get-
ting used to a new schedule and
new activities. .
More than ever, children need
their parents to give them sup-.
port and guidance. Often, they,
just need someone to talk to
about their concerns.
The National Mental Health
Association offers the following
tips for helping your child pre-
pare for the new school year.
Take time to talk to your
children about going back to
school. Get them to express


Healthier
Life


with Katrina Elsken

their feelings and share some of
your own.
When your children are
talking, stop whatever else
you're doing to listen to them.
Express interest in what
they are saying without being
intrusive.
Listen to your child's view-
point, even if it's difficult to hear.


Let your child finish speak-
ing before you respond.
Focus on your child's feel-
ings rather than your own during
the conversation.
Control strong emotional
responses when you .disagree
with your child's point of view.
Show interest in school
activities and attend events that
your child is in.
*, Don't push a child to be
involved in an activity they have
no interest in. Just because you
always wanted to dance or play
soccer does not mean your child
will enjoy it.
Resolve to eat dinner
together as a family a few times
a week, even if it's just sand-
wiches -before you head out to a


game or lesson. Use this time to
find out what your child has
done with their friends and
classmates that week.
Set family nights on your
calendar. Order pizza, play
board games, chat, and just
have fun together.
For more information, con-
tact your local mental health
association or the National Men-
tal Health Association at (800)
969-NMHA (6642),
orwww.nmha.org.
Before making any change in
your diet or exercise program,
consult your doctor. This is
especially important if you are
on any ,prescription medica-
tions. Some drugs interact badly
with foods that would otherwise
be considered "healthy."


Health officials caution about heat exhaustion


TALLAHASSEE Florida
Department of Health (DOH)
advises all Floridians and visitors
to be aware of the warning signs
of heat exhaustion. Heat exhaus-
'tion is a milder form of heat-relat-
ed illness that can develop after
several days of exposure to high
temperatures and inadequate or
, unbalanced replacement of flu-
ids, Those most prone to heat
exhaustion are elderly people,
people with high blood pressure
or heart disease, people working
or exercising in a hot environ-
ment, and people who are not,
used to the heat.
"We ask that Floridians and visi-
tors. to our State take the proper
precautions to ensure safe summer
days," said Secretary of Health M.

Perfectionism leads


to frustration


We all want what we want
and we want it RIGHT NOW!
This impatience is because of
our perfectionism which causes
us to lash out without even
thinking. That is the key; we
don't stop and think before we
open our mouths and stick our
feet in. WE'are always in such a
hurry! And hurrying never got
us any place faster.' It just
stressed us out and caused us to
have an accident or do things
we regret later.
We have to get our rest, slow
down and think about what we
are doing before we do it! Our
routines help us with our impa-
tience. The routines guide us in
doing what we really need to do.
first and they free us up to be
patlienli %ith those around us.
The really sad part is that we
feel that we are justified in being
.impatient. This does not give us
a license to be rude, hateful, use
an ugly tone of voice to get our
message across or to use bad
four letter words.
Now listen to me closely. I
am just as impatient as many of
you are and have been known
to blow a gasket. I think about
why I am upset. I can seewhat
is wrong. Many times I am too'
hungry, angry, lonely or tired.
This is when I HALT and take
care of myself. I am learning
that I can accomplish much
more if I 'use this method
instead of the "Blow a Gasket"
method, which really did noth-
ing bui inflict (-llateral damage-
on eeri..'nl around me includ-


ing myself.
When ever we pitch a fit like
this we may think we are getting
our way but in the long run what
goes around comes around. We
reap what we sow and if we sow
discontent and impatience, -we
will reap more anger and rebel-
lion along with passive aggres-
sive behavior just to get back at
us for our fit. I want you to think
about a two year old and a tem-
per tantrum. The child wants to
be heard. As long as the child is
pitching the fit; no one is hearing
anything. The crying chair is one
answer. This is a specific chair
just for crying then the child is
allowed to get up and come tell
you exactly what they wants in a
nice and kind way. NOT
DEMANDING!
When we pitch a fit in our
family or in .public it doesn't
matter how many times we try
to apologize for our 'actions;
they don't believe us. It is our
actions that speak louder than
our mere words of regret for our
tantrum. If we don't stop this
'beha\ ior \\ e are going to lose
:ur Iarnilies and ourselves.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


The early history of Okeechobee,


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 histo-
rian, Twila Valentine. Mrs. Valen-
tine wrote much about the history
of the people and places around
Lake Okeechobee and about the
lake itself. Together with Okee-.
chobee's Betty Williamson, presi-
dent of the Okeechobee Histori-
cal Society, she co-authored a
book, now in its second printing,
"Strolling down Country Roads in
Okeechobee."
We will be dipping back into
some of these stories from time
to time as we are now with the,
earliest history of this area. Many
people know these stories by
heart as I have come to, but new
people here every day, just
as the first settlers came here
over 150 years ago. So we'll
retell just a little for their benefit.
This was written by Twila in
June, ,1989.
"The first settlements within
the borders of present-day Okee-
chobee County came about as a
direct result of military actions.
Both Fort Basinger and Ft. Drum
were settled near the sites of ear-
lier military installations.
"Fort Bassinger (correct
spelling of that day) had been
established by U.S. Army troops
on the western bank of 'the
Kissimmee River as one of a
chain of posts during the Second
Seminole War. In 1937, Colonel
Zachary Taylor left the west
coast and Fort Brooke at Tampa
and established Forts Gardner
and Frazier, as well as Bassinger.
"The site of Fort Bassinger is
noted with a historical marker.
"Fort Drum was established
in 1849 between the Second and
Third Seminole Wars, during a
period when renegade Native
Americans were responsible for
a series of murders of settlers.
The time of peace between the
two wars was an uneasy peace
at best and following the
killings, the army established a
series of military posts which
stretched across the state from
Fort Brooke on the west coast to
the Indian River on the east
coast.
"The installation was only an
active fort for a short time before
it was abandoned.
"The first verified settlers
along the Kissimmee River
arrived in' the 1860s and settled
north of Fort Bassinger. (During
the next 40 years or so, the com-
munity would also be known as
Bassenger before the present
day spelling of Basinger was
finally decided upon. That was
the correct spelling of the name
of Lieutenant W.E. Basinger, a
Georgia native, who was killed
near Bushnell at the Dade Mas-
sacre in December, 1835.
"When the community of
Basinger was established, it was
built on the east side of the river,
initiating a ferry service as an
occupation for some of the early
settlers.
"According to the "History of
Okeechobee County" by Kyle
Van Landingham, (now avail-
able on-line as
www.lamartin.com/history/his-
tory_of_okeechobee county/his
tory_of_okeechobee.htm)some
of those early settlers in the
Basinger area, on both sides of
the river included: Arthur and
Thomas Daughtry; Henry Park-
er, who later moved on to Fort
Drum; Noel Rabun Raulerson,
Sr.; Captain John Mizell Pearce;
...-a. ... M. Chandler and
William i i,.-:-' ri!ll, who was
-. .'.1.il& v son-in-law.
Sit.;: i all the early settlers
near 3.:.I, ,-. and Fort Drum
were men involved in the cattle
business and the majority came
,-.. 1.i,' open lands for their cat-
tie,
"The ~I i families to settle in
S ., I, ii area arrived there


Special to INI/www.lamartin.com, VanLandingham's History of Okeechobee County
Jeremiah Walker owned one of the early businesses in the Basinger settlement. His general
store also housed the post office.


included: Joel Swain, Henry
Parker and Henry Holmes.
Descendants of these families
remain today in the Fort Drum,
area.
"According to Mr. VanLand-
ingham, Henry Parker left
Basinger about 1874 and moved
to Lake View, a settlement near
Lake Marian, in present day-
Osceola County. About 1978, he
moved once more and settled at
Fort Drum. His first wife, Eliza-
beth had died while they were
living in Lake View, around
1876. She was only 37 years old.
He had married the widowed
Elizabeth Brinkley H61mes in
Columbia County in 1858. She
had one son, Henry A. Holmes,
.who was born in 1856.
"Mr. Parker married Rutha
Ann Richards following the
death of Elizabeth. At the time
he left Lake View to move to Fort
Drum, he was a member of the
Brevard County Commission. He
had previously served as a Bre-
vard County judge when he was
living in the Basinger area.
"Judge Parker was born Aug.
15, 1832 and died Oct. 3, 1908 at
the age of 76.
"The late Addie Holmes
Emerson (1901-1983) was one
of the 14 children of Henry
Holmes, who was the stepson of
Henry Parker. Mr. Holmes was
married 'twige, ith -nine of his
children coming during that first
marriage to. Joanna Morgan
Holmes who died in 1894. The
following year, he married Car-
rie Roberts from Orlando and
five children were born during
this marriage.
"Addie was born in the Fort
Drum area, but she moved to
Fort Pierce at an early age and
was the curator of the St. Lucie
County Historical Museum for
many years. She was a noted
historian of the Fort Drum and
Fort Pierce area." During a talk in
1989 about the history of the
area, Mrs. Emerson said that the
actual location of the fort had
never been established, so no
marker commemorates the site,
"My father and mother mar-
ried in 1895 and Mother said that
after they had been married a
few weeks, on Sunday after-
noon, my father said, 'Come on,
let's go horseback riding.' So
they rode out and he took her to
the site of the fort. She said, at
that time, there were embank-
ments visible. This was in 1895
and the war had been more than.
30 years before. So, some of
those embankments could have
been left at that time,' she said.
'There was the idea that the
fort was in the bend of the Fort
Drum Creek' she said. 'Now, by
that bend, I mean like Boggy
Branch here, the creek ended on
the prairie. I came and you
crossed Fort Drum Creek on 441
and you go past where the
cemetery is now. And then the
creek bends and goes north. She
(my mother) said that right in
i bend of that creek is where
ii,. fort was. One thing1about


military forts is that they had to
be where there was water. So,
they know it had to be on the
water somewhere. That is all I
can actually tell you about old
Fort Drum -the fort,' she said.
"During this same talk, Addie
recalled a humorous anecdote
regarding her patents' marriage


and large family. My mother mar-
ried my father when head nine
.children. I asked her 'Mother,
whatever possessed you to
marry a man with. nine kids?' She
said, 'He looked like he needed
some help. That wa 'his answer
to my question,' she told her
audience the day of her talk."

Religion and hazards to health: an example


By The Reverend Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph. D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
Andrea Yates has drawn a
tremendous amount of attention
for the drowning of her children.
Her actions have polarized many.
The latest court decision was that
she was "not guilty by reason of
insanity."
A part of what struck me about
this issue was her insistence that
"Satan" made her kill her children.
This made me wonder where and
from whom she learned her reli-
gion. Some of the TV presenta-
tions suggested that she was influ-
enced by a "minister" who
persuaded the Yates household to
drastically alter their lifestyle. Oth-
ers have documented a history of
illness that seemed to culminate in
her actions and attempted to point
to weak spots in efforts to treat it. I
was interested in her explanation
about "Satan" being involved and
what she must have believed.
It was the Lord who said
"Watch out for false prophets.


They come to you in sheep's cloth-
ing but inwardly they, are ferocious
wolves. By their fruit you will rec-
ognize them (Matthew 7:15-16)"
He goes on to say "every.good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree
bears bad fruit ibidd, v. 17)" and I
cannot help but to conclude that
the part played by Andrea Yates'
"religion" was certainly bad fruit!
I have always been interested in
the place religion has played in the
lives of those who were misled by
it and the damage that it can
cause. Part of my experience has
shown'me that religion is among
the most vague of disciplines to
study; people can read into reli-
gion whatever they want and
often do. The Biblical corrective
provided by the Lord when cau-
tioning against "false prophets" is
that "by their fruit you will recog-
nize them." In other words, good
religion doesn't cause people to do
bad things, believe bad things,
adopt bad lifestyles, cause prob-
lems for people, affect their lives in
bad ways, believe, bad things,
adopt things inconsistent with


Maintaining your summertime perspective


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
This summer, I was away from
the office for two weeks, working
with my hands, reading, and
spending time in retreat not only
from the routines that become so
very limiting, but also from the
weight of worry. The time away
brought a refreshing new perspec-
tive and I vowed upon my return to
remember the lesson learned:
awareness that the bigger picture
can be easily obscurE d by all of the
little day-to-day things you can get
caught up in.
Vacations are a time when we
can give up our worries acid ouw
strife for a time. Unfortunately,
vacations come to an end. You get


up to a 60 degree morning in the
Georgia mountains and before you
know it, you arrive in Clewiston
where the bank thermometer is
registering 100. Reality sinks in. It's
time to get back to work.
I couldn't help but notice that
Pepper (ri,. d,:,'' still had her vaca-
tion happy .-go-luckv attitude that
she had in the ni'iiunritains. I tried to
maintain mine, I really did. Before I
knew it, however, I was back in the
old pattern that most of us know so
well: the pattern of stress and pres-
sure, deadlines and demands, the
worries :'f th' 1-,el; ahead. .
-Being able to vonrry about the,
future is a very human trait. We
may be the only animal to possess
a cognitive a\, areness of what


might happen in the future.
Human beings can project thenm-
selves into a realm beyond the
present one. And that awareness of
the future is one of the greatest gifts,
God gave us.
And yet, our capacity for envi-
sioning the future may be, in addi-
tion to one of God's greatest gifts,
one of the greatest human trials. It
is a cross we have to bear. Most of
us have, at one time or another,
become consumed by anxiety over
what tomorrow % may bring.
Our experience is nothing ne\\.
Jesus knew about anxieties. The
anxious person wastes away the
present moment with worries and
concerns. Jesus tells us not to be
anxious, and in Matthew 3:26 out-


lines a three part way to do away
,with our anxieties.
First, believe that God will take
.care of you. "Look at the birds of
the air!" Jesus says. "God lakes care
ofilern! Hol\ much morewill God
care for \'ou'" Trust in God's prod-
dence. Believe that God will pro-
vide all that you need not neces-
sarily all you want, but allyou need.
Second, belong to something
greater than yourself. Jesus states it,
this way: "Seek Ye first the King-
dom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added
unto you." In other words, when
we put priority in godly living and
being attuned to spiritual matters,
we will find that our needs will be
met. It's his promise to us.

their common sense or common
experiences. A part of what
seemed to be the problem as I
viewed it was that "Satan" was
viewed as more powerful than the
forces of good in the life of this
woman. She apparently allowed,
or was influenced, or had suffi-
cient problems with her thinking
processes because of illness, to
believe she, was to do something
contrary to all that healthy reli-
gious beliefs would have her do.
The Bible speaks of "the drag-
on" who fought against Michael
and his angels "But he was not
strong enough and they lost their
place in Heaven. The great dragon
was hurled down-that ancient ser-
pent called the devil or Satan who
leads the whole world astray (Rev-
elation 12: 7-9)" Illness or poor:
teaching can warp belief; leading
the weak or sick to believe that the
forces of evil were the ones who
triumphed, not the forces of good.,
It is incumbent on those who hold
to healthy religions to make cer-
tain they do not provide bad inter-
pretations or twisted religion, or


that what is believed doesn't play a
part in the destructive thinking that
causes tragedies.
I like to look for the fruits of the
beliefs I hold: do they lead people
to happier, better, more fulfilling
lives; or do they cause people to do
"crazy" things; have two standards
of doing one thing and pretending
to believe another; keep them
from being integrated and whole
within themselves, and at peace
with themselves and others?
It is understandable why there
are those who dislike religion and
say that it has done a lot of dam-
age; Andrea Yates may be a prime
example. The corrective, though,
is not to judge the whole by the
poorest parts. At the same time, it'
is our obligation to provide some-
thing for people to believe that will
bring forth good fruits in their lives
and to examine what it is we can
do to make sure the great treas-
ures entrusted to the faithful are
used as God would have them
used the pearls of great price that
are not lost by those who misuse
them.

Foley national security proposals approved by House


\WASHINGTON, DC Leg-
islation that Congressman
Mark Foley (FL-16) introduced
earlier this year to protect
America's ports and other
security-sensitive areas passed
the House today as. part of a
larger protection package -
H.R 5337, the National Securi-
ty Foreign Investment Report
and Strengthened Transparen-
c- Act.
The overall bill includes
provisions originally contained
in Foley's measure H.R.
481,3 that would require
mandatory, 45-day investiga-'
lions by the Committee on For-
eign Investment in the United


States (CFlUS') on all U.S. trans-
actions, mergers and acquisi-
tions involving any foreign gov-
ernment. The purpose is to
ensure that those transactions
do not in any way undermine
national security.
Foley introduced his bill in
March, after becoming the first
member of Congress to pub-
licly question Administration
officials on a deal that would
allow a company owned by
th.e United Arab Emirates gov-
ernment Dubai Ports World
- to purchase the operations
of 22 U.S. ports from a private
British company.
"I strongly believe this bill


will help ensure that our
national security interests are
protected," said Foley. "Our
ports are vital to the econom-
ic strength of this country.
They should be treated as
possible terrorist targets and
should be protected not
treated as simply assets to be
bought and sold without thor-
ough scrutiny."
Although current law
required that the purchase be
fully vetted and approved by
CFIUS if national security con-
cerns were involved, the deal
apparently went through after'
lower-level administration offi-
cials gave it the green light


\without the full review.
Despite the obvious poten-
tial for security concerns, said
Foley, "mid-level Administra-
tion and not senior Adminis-
tration officials approved
the deal, and it did not receive
the full 45-day review required
by current law."
Foley introduced his version
of the legislation earlier after it
became clear that two leading
members of CFILJUS then-
Treasury Secretary John Snow
and then-USTR Ambassador
Rob Portman knew little to
nothing of the Dubai Ports
World proposal. Foley had
questioned both about the


deal during a House Ways and
Means Committee hearing.
"Neither of them could answer
any questions about it," Foley
said. Later, news reports indi-
cated that the President him-
self was not made aware of the
ports deal until after public
controversy erupted over it.
Foley introduced his bill and
later worked with House
Majority Whip Rep. Roy Blunt
on larger legislation to address
national security concerns
involving foreign U.S. acquisi-
tions. The larger comprehen-
sive bill passed the House
today and now heads to the
Senate for consideration.

Controlling costs through
fuel diversity, power plant effi-
ciencies and purchasing
power
Even though FPL has no
control over world fuel mar-
kets, the company has and will
continue to take steps to diver-
sify the luel it burns at power
plants and reduce the cost of
making electricity by making
its power plants as efficient as
possible. Here are some steps
taken by FPL:
*The company uses a vari-
ety of fuels to help stabilize
costs including nuclear, coal,
purchased power, oil and nat-
ural gas. By using a variety of
fuel sources, we are stabilizing
fuel costs and doing what we
can to spread the costs of ener-
gy away from the ones that are
increasing most quickly. In
fact, FPL makes maximum use
of its nuclear generating units
to provide as much low cost


of providing some level of pro-
tection against volatility in fuel
prices. Through the hedging
strategy we'saved customers
more than $600' million in
2005. '
Through operational effi-
ciencies, FPL has reduced base
rates by 15 percent and saved
its customers more than $4 bil-
lion since 1999. During the
same time, FPl's fuel costs
have more than doubled.
Today, fuel costs account for
54 percent of residential cus-
tomers' electric bills. FPL
makes no profit on the fuel
portion of its' customers' bills
as this cost is a direct pass
through.

The cost of

Summer bills are typically
much higher than the rest of
the year because air condition-
ers must work much harder to

FPL offers an online Sum-
mer Tool Kit at
www.FPL.com/summertoolk-
it, which includes a free Online
Home Energy Survey a per-
sonalized, in-depth analysis of
a home's energy use to uncov-
er waste and produce detailed
reports about ways to save.
The survey is available in Eng-
lish and Spanish.
Even with the higher cost of
fuel used to produce it, elec-
tricity remains a good value
when compared with other
crucial U.S. commodities
according to the Edison Elec-
tric Institute (EEl). In a recent
report, EEI concluded that,
despite record electricity con-
sumption, electric bills have
become a smaller percentage

Attorney General awards more than $24 Million for crime


TALLAHASSEE Attorney
General Charlie Crist
announced that his office has'
awarded more than $24.3 mil-
lion in grants to private and
public agencies to help crime
victims throughout Florida.
The funds, provided through
the federal Victims of'Crime
Act (VOCA), will provide
direct services to help victims
stabilize their lives.
VOCA grants are issued
annually and the latest round
of awards will assist victims in


each of Florida's 20 judicial
circuits, as well as partici-
pants in several statewide ini-
tiatives.
"Too often, innocent crime
victims have nowhere else to
turn for help. These grants
can provide a lifeline for those
who, through no fault of their
own, have become the victim
of crime," said Mr. Crist. "I am
pleased that we can offer
hope and comfort to victims
in their time of need."
The Attorney General's
Office has already awarded


232 grants totaling
$23,963,693, and another
$355,218 has been obligated
to other programs and will
soon be.formally awarded.
The Victims of Crime Act
grants will be used for a wide
variety of programs for vic-
tims and survivors of domes-
tic violence, sexual assault,
child abuse, drunk driving,
murder and other crimes. The
grants will fund such activities
as domestic violence centers,
abuse shelters, sexual assault
and child abuse programs


and family counseling servic-
es, many by law enforcement
agencies and state attorney's
offices to fund local victim
services programs.
The Victims of Crime Act
was passed in 1984 to provide
federal funding to assist state,
local and private nonprofit
agencies to provide direct
services to crime victims. The
U.S. Department of Justice
provides VOCA money to the
states. Funds come from
fines, penalty assessments
and bond forfeitures from


convicted federal offenders.
Since its inception more
than two decades ago, VOCA
has provided $218,148,000 to
Florida for victim assistance
and another $87,446,000 for
crime compensation, bring-
ing the state a total of
$305,594,000 to help victims
of crime. A county-by-county
listing of this year's VOCA
grant recipients is available at:
