This project is a new development in the Muse area, located north of Labelle and west of SR 29, which will provide 3500 residential dwelling units and 80,000 square feet of commercial development once development is complete. "My vision is that it will be a stand-alone community," says Larry Hilton, Deputy County Man- ager for Community Develop- ment. This area will probably have a chain grocery store, drug store, and other businesses located in a small city that will service the needs of the residents in the area. The Muse Village Comprehen- sive amendment was first pro- posed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners in 2002; however, the Florida Department of Community Affairs found that the amendment was not in com- pliance with State Comprehensive Plan. The County and Applicant, Lykes Brothers, have worked sev- eral \ ecu on resolving the issues that were not in compliance. The Board of County Commissioners approved the amended applica- tion for the Muse Village, and the Florida Department of Community Affairs found it to be in compli- ance with the State comprehen- sive plan. Before the amendment was found to be in compliance, several things had to take place. These things included a public notice, hearings, and a 21 day period for challenges to be made by people who disagreed with the Muse Vil- lage Comprehensive Plan. But that time is finally over and no challenges have been made. The Lykes Brothers will now be required to work with the Soutrh Florida Water Management Dis- trict, the Department of Environ- mental Protection, and the Florida Department of Transportation to get permits for such things as storm water, waste water, and the access of State Road 29. After these permits are in place, and iezoriing has bee approved, a process where the county can lay out the specific points of the development. Then the next step is actual construction. While the Muse Village Com- prehensive Plan has been approved, it could still take the rest of the year for construction to begin. When it does, county offi- cials say the community can look forward to a new community in Glades County. Clerk held at gunpoint at local store By Jose Jesus Zaragoza Glades County Democrat LAKEPORT A clerk was held at gunpoint at the Circle K store in Lakeport recently, ordered to obey the com- mands of the two sui.p'c:is and then placed in the store's cooler. It is the second time this year that the store has been robbed. The robbery happened July 27, it ap-r .,xini ,li 11 ?0n p ri That's when sources say two men dressed all in black, wearing black gloves and black masks, came inside the store and ordered the clerk to empty the cash register. Both of the suspects appar- ently had firearms, though the exact type of weapon isn't known. After emptying the cash register, the two suspects reportedly shoved the clerk into the store's walk-in cooler - a narrow chamber where cases of beer, soda, water and juice are stored. - Then the suspects left.

Business GLADES COUNTY The Glades County Community Development Department is working on the development of a new park. This park will not have swings or see-saws; instead, it will have small businesses and light industrial shops. The county purchased some land at U.S.. 27 and S.R. 78 North, which will be the site for the upcoming busi- ness park. The park will pro- 11 s owners will have lots sized anywhere from 2.5 acres to 10 acres. The Business Park is still under preliminary design. The Community Development Department is in the process of getting the infrastructure designed and permitted. Currently, the only busi- ness that will be built there is a private jail owned by Glades Correctional Development See Park-- Page 12 Even though they grow with- in a (e\\ feet of each other in the .\ilds of this land, this fact has no bearing on what they will or will not do in a given season. Wild grapes and hog plums. In this part of the world "hog" is pronounced as if it were spelled "hawg". This past spring in the blooming-time of wild grapes, all signs pointed to an abundant season Indeed it came to pass, some even ripened in June and some are still hanging on, which of course are dead ripe but always these are the sweetest. This year there were grapes all over the place covering the pasture fences, up and down pine trees, crawling along the ground as if they had nothing to climb. There were enough grapes for all of us birds, rac- coons, squirrels, the turkeys and jars and jars of jelly and mar- malade and grape butter. Over and over the thought kept surfacing that it'd be the same as regards hog plums/Ximenia americans L. But such is not the case. Judging from the branches and limbs there'll hardly be enough for one batch of jelly, let alone any for Every month, a group of local concerned citizens and officials meet and their goal is your safety in traffic. The Glades County Commu- nity Traffic Safety Team (CTST), headed by Chairman Dave McGee (Vice-Mayor of Moore Haven) meets on the first Thursday at 10 a.m. in the Moore Haven Library confer- ence room along with repre- sentatives of Florida Depart- ment of Transportation (FDOT), and the public is wel- come to attend. Deputy Jeff Hill represents the office of Sheriff Whiddon, Road Superintendent Avant Brown represents Glades County, and Scott Bass leads the Glades County School Board's traffic safety. other creatures. So we keep hop- ing these othersr" will this year fill up on acorns and let us have the plums. Right now in the gold of Octo- ber, ours are still jade green, small and hard as rocks. But they've had sufficient water to make them start swelling sooner than later. And so far, no sign of the almost invisible varmints that often pierce through the skin and flesh, making them undesirable. A long, winding walk through the woods and islands of palmet- tos, where the bush-like trees grow prolifically, reveals only a few on the drooping limbs. So here we are in the middle of summer and waiting for sweet, golden hog plums, somewhat reminiscent of persimmons, to ripen. There are those who would have bet on this year running over with such plums, and wild guavas, too, for that matter. However, as far as guavas are concerned, only three have been spotted so far three guavas on one tree, that is. The other trees are bare as last year's bird nests. Somehow there seems little that can be done with three guavas, the common name for Psidium, Of particular concern is the safety of our children at school crossings. In the near future a program being developed by the team will kick off an incen- tive program for students. Watch for the report of next month's meeting. Sheriff's Office Deputy Sergeant and Team Vice- Chair/Secretary Kim Hill report- ed on expected receipt of $66,000 in grant funding that will focus on alcohol-related traffic issues with youth.

Just goes to show about those best laid plans to have enough guava jelly to last the winter through. Psidium liftorale/Catley or strawberry guava, native to Brazil, and known as the non- wild variety has done a bit better but not enough to write home about. Truth is: this year, a twelve-foot bush-like tree has produced only enough fruit to make two small jars of jelly-jam, not even one pint. This variety is always a delight, even though the fruit is so much smaller than the plain "wild" guavas. Its common name "strawberry" is more than a little suitable. It does indeed taste a bit like strawberries with a strong aroma of the same fruit. The Cattley does not grow in the wild, thus it's not generally exposed to the whims of mother nature,.which in case of a freeze can keep the tree from bearing for one or even two years, if the damage is deep enough. Most of the time, guavas will regrow from the root system, but some- See Grapes Page 12 Submitted to INI Students recognized Students at West Glades Elementary School have started the new school year with a bang, presented with certificates of achievement at a function held this week at the school. 5so0 Enjoying mother nature: look at the season I: ,.,- Sub"rtilled r.

Gasoline is a classic supply and demand commodity. Higher usage normally translates into somewhat lower supply and higher demand'ultimately lead- ing to higher prices. This is espe- cially true in the summer months. Prices vary across Florida cities as they do nationally across regions. Retail prices are determined by a number of fac- tors including transportation costs, location (urban, rural), average volume pumped, and competitive mix (the concentra- tion of major oil companies and the presence of independent marketers). According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), an arm of the U.S. Depart- ment of Energy, the price paid by consumers can be traced to four. major components. Below are those components and their approximate percentages in cal- culating the cost of a gallon of gasoline: Crude Oil 49 percent;. Federal/State/Local Taxes 26 percent; Refining 15 percent; Marketing/Distribution/Profits 10 percent The price of crude oil is easily the most significant factor in determining gasoline prices. Crude oil is a publicly traded commodity that is susceptible to market fluctuations. The U.S. holds about two percent of the world's proven oil reserves, while we import 50 percent of the oil that Americans consume. The malor U S. ports for crude oil imports are New )ork, the Gulf Coast and the West Coast. Among the reasons offered for the crude price spike was the uncertainty in Iraq, and an oil workers' strike in Venezuela. The Venezuela strike was settled and production resumed, further assisting the crude price drop. Federal/State/ Local Taxes Federal excise taxes are 18.4 cents per gallon. The State of Florida also levies 14.1 cents per gallon in Motor Fuel Taxes. Local governments levy anywhere from 9.6 cents per gallon in Franklin and Okaloosa Counties to 17.5 cents in several counties, creating a range of 42.1 cents in total fuel taxes and inspection fees to 52.29 cents. Find fuel taxes in your county: http://www.fprna org taxes_200 2_MotorFuelTax_Into.pdt Refining Crude oil is not a usable petroleum product. Once crude reaches the United States, or is pumped from a domestic oil field, it is unloaded at refineries where it is processed into prod- ucts such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. While the U.S. has the largest refining capacity in the world, Florida does not have a refinery, resulting in high- er distribution costs. Marketing and Distribution Costs and Profits This component includes the cost of transporting, storing and distributing gasoline from refineries to gas stations. Most of the gasoline in the U.S. is trans- ported from refineries to whole- sale terminals through pipelines. Since Florida has no significant pipelines, most gasoline is barged in from the Gulf Coast. The cost of bringing fuel into Florida is higher due to the absence of both refineries and pipelines. Retailers have indicated their profits typically range some- where between tive and 10 cents per gallon.

The Senate's decision late Thursday to reject a $730 million annual tax break for Florida residents has prom:npted U.S. Senator Bill Nelson to issue a public demand that leaders in Congress act quickly on a separate bill that would restore the tax break and make it permanent The tax break, which expired at the end of last year, had allowed Florida residents to deduct from their federal income taxes \\hat they paid each \ear in state sales tax. Residents in states with income taxes can deduct it on their federal tax returns, but Florida is one of eight states with a sales ta-\ and no income tax. In 2004, at the urging of Nelson and other lawmakers inF sales-la\ states. Congress decided to allow for the deduction of state sales taxes, but onl\ fou t\\o ears. The deduction expired last Dec 31. An attempt to revive it as part of a bill that also contained an increase in the minimum \wage and a reduction of the estate la\ failed in the Senate Thursday The Senate relecied the coriloveisial three.-parl bill, with Sen. Nelson and Florida's other senator, Mel Martinez, voting to pass it. "This ta.x break is too irpor- lant to orlking families lto not give it a high priority." said Nel- son, who has introduced stand- alone legislation with Sen KaN\ Bailey Hutchison from Texas, one of the eight states where res- idents stand to benefit from the sales-tax break Sen. Nelson's demand for immediate action came in a let- ter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist asking thal the issue be con- sidered first, when the Senate returns from August recess after the Labor Day holiday Interest- inglI, Sen. Frist is from Ten- nessee another state affected b. the bill If eventually approved, the sales tax deduction for Florida would be retroactive for 2006. So. Floiidilans should still keep their sales tax records on hiigh- priced itens. Sen Nelson said Maria Speisei, Deputy Press Secretary LU.S Senator Bill Nel- son. 12021224-1679 Governor awards grant for broadband research TALLAHASSEE Governor Jeb Bush today awarded Flori- da's Heartland Rural Economic Development initiative (FHRE- DI) a Rural Infrastructure Fund Grant tlutaingr $110,000 to con- duct a broadband feasibility study to examine the impact of providing high speed, reliable broadband internet access in South Central Florida. The region is within a Rutral Area 'of Critical Economic Concern des- ignated by Governor Bush in 2001. "Across our nation, many rural co:'mmnunities still do not have access to reliable, high speed internet, placing them at a distinct disadvantage in an increasingly information-driven world," said Governor Bush. "The Rural infrastructure Fund Grant allows us to assist rural Florida identily the options to providing broadband access for their citizens, with the goal of impro_-.ing their competitive position within the global econ- omy and overall quality of life."

Pet Talk As they get older, Fido or Fluffy may need chemo. As animals reach their twilight years, they encounter the inevitable health problems that come with old age, including cancer. Accord- ing to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), cancer accounts for almost half of the deaths in pets over 10 years of age. "Animals are getting older because veterinarians and veteri- nary medicine are advancing. Older animals are at a much higher risk for developing cancer," says Zach Wright, a veterinarian at the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. Older animals are prone to sev- eral types of cancer, the symptoms of which may go unnoticed, but a growth on a pet can be a tell-tale sign of a bigger problem. If a lump on a pet does raise concern, animal experts have both good news and bad news for pet owners. The good news is that many of these tumors are benign. Cysts, which contain benign material, are often found on pets, especially older animals. "They are the dog and cat equiv- alent of acne, but they don't neces- sarily go away," says veterinarian WWight. Dogs are particularly suscepti- ble to fatty tumors, while cats can get basal cell tumors of the skin, both of which are usually harmless if addressed early. I Insect or snake bites can also cause swelling that has the appear- ance of a tumor. For cases such as these, there is no need to rush into the % etetinarv clinic. Instead, Veteranarian Wright recommends that pet owners take note of raised areas and see if they dramatically change in size over the course of a few days to weeks. Here's the bad news: you can't always tell a bump is harmless just by looking. Once the cancer reaches an advanced stage, an animal may act, lethargic, have difficulty swallow- ing or breathing, change its eating habits, begin vomiting or have diar- rhea. Until this point, the symp- toms of a cancerous mass may be no different from a benign mass. Because malignant and benign tumors can share the same symp- toms, it takes professional help to decide %% whether or not a gro\\th is a pet threat. "The reality is you don't know until a veterinarian evaluates it," he says. Because of this, he says that any bumps on a pet should be treated with respect when the animal is in or near the geriatric stage. The beginning of this stage depends on breed and species, but Wright says a good standard is age eight and older for dogs and 10 and older for cats. According to the American Vet- erinary Medical Association, most growths require a biopsy to con- firm if the mass is cancerous, and for concerned owners, this is not something to put off. "The biggest problem we have is that ownTiers come to us too late," says et. \\nght. "In most instances, the treat- ment of choice is to remove it, and it is a lot easier to remove a grape off of a dog than a softball." Procrastination can be the biggest threat to a pet with a malig- nant mass, and he says it ties a vet- erinarian's hands when trying to give the pet care. "It's better to prove it's benign than assume it's benign," he says, "and good news, as a whole, is always better than bad news."

Toss gently and refrigerate for one hour. 8-10 servings Do you know where your patience is? We have heard that patience is a virtue. Some of us were not born with it, just like we were not born organized, but we can develop the habits that keep us from being impatient. Just this morning I had to fax a twelve page document. I have an old fax machine and it takes awhile for the pages to send. As I sat in the chair I thought of everything that I should've, could've, would've done if only. Well I decided to just sit there quietly and let the machine do its thing while I pondered on the word patience. As sidetracked people; we want, what we want, and we want it now. We expect to be organized by osmosis, lose weight by eating anything we want and get fit by sit- ting on our fannys. We have lost the skill of being patient. It is our all or nothing perfectionist attitude that sabotages us once again. We are so wrapped up in wanting to see the results immediately that we burn ourselves out before we ever really get started. How sad for us. We don't even give new habits a chance, before we toss them out with the bath water. Every Tuesday night we bowl in a league. We have been bowling for several years. As I was bowling tonight, I realized that I too am as impatient as all of you! I just expect- ed my bowling score to get better without doing anything to help myself. Robert has been telling me to slow down for several months. I have a tendency to get in a hurry and fling the ball down the alley without thinking too much about what I am doing. About three weeks ago I started looking at my approach just like a basketball play- er would shoot free throws. Have you ever watched a free throw shooter go through his or her routines before shooting the ball? Every coach will tell you that going through the rituals the same way every time you shoot will help you to consistently make your free throws. I started to do this. I would pick the ball up with both hands and then hold it in front of me and take three deep breaths and then hold the forth breath and look right where I want the ball to go and then follow through with my arm. Doing the same thing each time I throw the ball. I have found that when I am patient with myself and I relax and breathe that I do better! Imagine that. Practicing my routines makes me feel better about what I am doing. I am still not a great bowler, but I consistently bowl my average. For that I am proud. It doesn't have to be a perfect game or a high scor- ing one to have fun with my friends. We have to be patient with our new habits so that they will become routines. Habits take time to establish. It doesn't happen just because we want them to or because we have them written down; we actually have to go through the motions of our rou- tines to help our brains establish the memory that will make them automatic. Please be patient with yourself and the whole FLYing process. We promise that if you will be patient then you will begin to reap the benefits of FLYing with routines.

The University of Florida pro- fessor has been recognized by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) for his creation of sophisticated computer models that give an unprecedented view of the bustling dynamics underly- ing the earth's waterways. His work reveals the ebb and flow of essential nutrients and pollutants through waterways which often dwarf our own circulatory sys- tems in terms of complexity. "These are systems so big and complicated that trying to figure out what's going on used to be mostly about guesswork," said Greg Kiker, a UF professor and former student of Professor Campbell's. "Ken's work puts all the data together, and really gives this kind of research teeth." The Hancor Soil and Water Engineering Award was present- ed to Prof, Campbell at the ASABE Annual International Meeting July 12. The award, first given in 1966, is recognized as one of the group's most prestigious recogni- titnsc of enoineerino achievement "We live in a fascinating time for this type of research, both technologically and socially," he said. "I'll be looking forward to watching what comes next." Greg Kiker, a UF professor special to INI/University o1 l-ionaa Professor Kenneth Campbell of the University of Florida has developed a computer model, such as those referred to in INI's Watershed Series, which predicts runoff from farms and ranches. endeavor to model phosphorous levels in South Florida. In the early 80's it was recognized that excess nhncsnhnroiu frnm runoff wasr a seeded at an early age by his father, a farmer in Iowa. To make ends meet, he took a side job as a water management specialist for the Natural Resources Conserva- tion Service (then called the Soil Conservation Service) and would occasionally bring Kenneth along on assignments. From those sim- ple agrarian roots, Prof. Campbell was further influenced by a back- drop of evolving environmental awareness of the 60's as he was completing his education. "People were just starting to become aware that we can have significant effects on our environ- ment-especially our water sys- tems," Prof. Campbell said. In 2000, Prof. Campbell began a year's sabbatical in South Africa at the University of Natal. There, he helped develop a new comput- er model using the object-orient- d r conmnntpr language called Java only connection Prof. Campbell still holds with South Africa. Since his time there, Prof. Campbell has helped fo6r students from the region come to UF to pursue aca- demic degrees. "His influence on others and his willingness to help other peo- ple learn is something that really makes him stand out," Mr. Kiker said. "Probably half of the people in the state of Florida working in this field have been taught by him, and I guarantee you that they're better for the experience." Although recently named interim chair of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering department, he is now looking forward to retirement in the next few years. Nonetheless, that does- n't mean he'll lose his lifelong interest.

The South Florida Water Man- agement District stepped up the Picayune Strand Restoration project in 2004 under the state's Acceler8 Everglades restoration initiative. The initiative is fast tracking the design and con- struction of many projects criti- cal to ecosystem recovery ahead of guarantees of partnership fed- eral funding. In addition, the state and the District have also taken the lead on acquiring the land needed to construct these projects. Picayune Strar nd R.storalion received crucial federal enduoise- ment in July when the U.S. Sen- ate passed the Water Resources Development Act. The act, and its counterpart passed by the House in 2005, includes con- 'sir ucion authorization for the fPiravnrj,: Strand Restoration Pro- ject. A compromise version of the House and Senate bills will be crafted by a joint congres- sional cojilniti- e "Restoring these wetlands will reestablish historic flow ways and reduce point source discharges to freshwater in the delicate coastal estuaries of 10,000 Islands," said Alice Carl- son, District Governing Board member and chair of the Big C', .pi ss Basin Governing Board, "This %. ill till in the missing piece of the puzzle in restoring ecolog- ical otonre i( ity between pub- licly held lands in the region," In Picayune Strand, water rni itIigers \N ill restore the natural flow of surface water by plug- ging four canals; the Prairie Canal, Merritt Canal, Faka-Union Canal and Miller Canal, said Chip Eitel, District Picai un- Strand Project Manager. Pump stations are also b,-ing installed on three of the canals to keep the water moving. Until that part of the project can begin, workers are making way for the water by demolish- ing homes, chicken coops, sheds and other debris left behind in old Southern Golden Gates Estates. Plans also call for removing 227 miles ot roads. The Picayune Strand Restora- tion Project is part of the 50-50 federal-state Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, or CERP. Florida has forged ahead to implement the Comprehen- sive Everglades Restoration Plan with an investment of $1.7 bil- lion toward -\cc eler8 tho state's initiative to fast track eight key Everglades restoration projects - and a commitment for an addi- tional $3.2 billion through the end of the decade to clean up and restore the famed River of Grass.

The JUA will pro- vide property insurance coverage to Florida's business owners who have been unable to secure it from private companies. Gal- lagher recommended the JUA as a short-term solution last week in a letter to Governor Bush, "Eight storms inflii, lig $38 billion in insured losses have cre- ated a crisis in Florida's property insurance market, and our state's homeowners and business own- ers are being held hostage as a result," said Mr. Gallagher. "The solution I recommended and we approved will help provide basic coverage to Florida employers who employ thousands of hard- working citizens and serve as the backbone of our economy. There are some real opportuni-, ties to provide further relief for Floridians, and fighting for homeowners remains my num- ber one pi ioritv." Since the hurricanes of 2004, Mr. Gallagher has made several recommendations to-the Cabinet and Legislature which have pro- vided relief to Florida's home- owners, including the elimina- tion of the double-deductible, the creation of a simplified insur- ance policy checklist, and the approval of $715 million dollars in insurance rate-relief to Floridi- ans which eliminated a 20 per- cent surcharge on homeowners insurance bills this summer. Mr. Gallagher, who serves on the Cabinet, also recommended that a working group comprised of representatives from the Gov- ernor's Office, Florida Senate and House of Representatives, Department of Financial Ser- vices, State Board of Administra- tion and the Office of Insurance Regulation explore lowering the threshold of the Florida Hurri- cane Catastrophe (CAT) Fund from $5.2 billion to $3 billion. The Catastrophe Fund provides reinsurance to insurance compa- nies. Mr. Gallagher said the Cata- strophe Fund has proven to be a critical tool to Florida's economy and cited in the Cabinet meeting that the fund saves homeowners living in a $150,000 home in Miami as much as $3,100 annual- ly. He said that for homeowners in Hillsborough or Escambia County, the savings are as much as $500 a year. Mr. Gallagher said these sav- ings are possible because insur- ance companies pay 70 cents for every $1 of reinsurance in the worldwide market but pay less than a dime for that same cover- age through our Catastrophe Fund. In addition, Mr. Gallagher said that when Florida insurers purchase reinsurance on the worldwide market, the money is gone even when no storms come. When those same insur- ers buy it through the Catastro- phe Fund, that money stays in Florida and builds to pay future storm claims. Mr. Gallagher said if a consen- sus is reached by the working group making changes to the CAT fund, then he recommends that the governor call for a spe- cial session. "The sooner we put addition- al solutions in place, the sooner we will be able to stabilize insur- ance rates and provide desper- ately needed coverage to home- owners," Mr; Gallagher said.

OMGF1086 % MERCURY Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, August 10, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Special to INI/UF/IFAS Property owners can help keep wild turkey populations on their property with a little help from the University of Florida. Thursday, August 10, 2006 Planting certain trees, such as cherry and black gum, can help attract deer to your land. IFAS offers course on caring for deer, turkey GAINESVILLE, Fla.- Turkeys on your property probably won't drown by looking skyward in a downpour, but keep an eye on the rain gauge or you might end up with wet hen syndrome. To get deer to hang around, try maintaining their favorite trees: hardwoods like cherry and black gum. Maintaining healthy and ample turkey and deer popula- tions, whether for hunting or just wildlife appreciation, can be a tricky business. But landowners, ranchers and wildlife managers can learn tips and tricks from the experts Aug. 18 at the first Flori- da Deer and Turkey Manage- ment Shortcourse. Organized by the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, the course will take place in the Turner Cen- ter Exhibit Hall in Arcadia, Fla., and will present the latest in sci- entific advice-in layman's terms-from experts in acade- mia, the hunting industry and natural resource agencies. "There are definitely a num- ber of steps you can take to improve the health and number of turkey and deer-many being just good common sense," said Jim Selph, the DeSoto County Livestock Agricultural Extension Director and one of the meet- ing's coordinators. ."But even simple steps can go a long way towards making life better for both you and the animals." For example, attendees will learn how to plant edible forage in feed plots distributed through- out their land. A common mis- take, Selph said, is to plant a sin- gle plot in the center of the land. This forces the animals to con- gregate in a central, often small- er location-not only making competition for that food fiercer, but also increasing the chances of an attack from a predator. ."One thing people usually don't realize is that they also need the right ratios of open space and brush or foliage," said Brian Zielinski, a biologist from the National Wild Turkey Federa- tion who will deliver a presenta- tion dubbed "Turkey Facts.", "And it's not just having enough of one or the other, the borders between open and closed spaces is crucial to a lot of ani- mals' a,-ti lii 4s like nesting." t Other topics will include proper harvest management, how to recognize and identify the'animals, balancing the needs of cattle and game animals, and many others. The course will run from 8 a.m. until approximately 4:30 p.m. The presenters will give a tour of a local ranch in the afternoon to show the real-life im pl e m n ta i o n of practices dis- cussed in the morning. A noon meal of smoked ribs will be pro- vided. Registration costs $50 and ends Aug. 11; however, appli- cants may also register late for $75.

FWC continues monitor of herds The Fish and Wildlife Conser- vation Commission (FWC) has concluded Florida's deer herd shows no signs of chronic wast- ing disease (CWD) after four years of testing for the deadly disease. CWD is a contagious neuro- logical disease that has been found in captive and wild herds of mule deer, white-tailed deer and Rocky Mountain elk within several midwestern and western states. The disease causes degeneration of the brains of infected animals resulting in emaciation, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions and death. No southeastern states, including Florida, have been hit by the deer disease thus far. The FWC tested 512 free- ranging deer during the past year and more than 2,300 deer during the past four years, with no CWD-positive results. "Early detection is the key to limiting the spread of the dis- ease, if such an outbreak should occur in Florida," said Deer Man- agement Section leader Dr. Robert Vanderhoof of the FWC's, Division of Hunting and Game Management. To reduce the chances of CWD gaining entry into Florida, it is illegal to bring into the state, carcasses of any species of deer, elk or moose from 14 states and two Canadian provinces where CWD has been detected. The disease has been detect- ed in New Mexico, Utah, Col- orado, Wyoming, Kansas, Min- nesota, Oklahoma, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wis- consin, Illinois, New York, West Virginia, and Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. Visit the United States Department of Agriculture's Web site at www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nahps/c wd/ for the most up-to-date CWD coverage.. Once again, this hunting sea- son the FWC is turning to sports- men for assistance in helping monitor the state's deer herd for CWD. "We're asking hunters to report any sightings of sickly or scrawny-looking deer," Vander- hoof said. "If you see such a deer, call toll-free 1-866-CWD- WATCH (293-9282). Wildlife biologists will respond, and if necessary, collect deer tissue for testing. It's important to contact us as soon as possible, because such testing must take place within 48 hours of a deer's death to yield reliable results." CWD WATCH is part of an aggressive monitoring program to ensure CWD is not already in Florida and the disease does not spread into this state. Currently, there is no evi- dence that CWD poses a risk for humans, however, public health officials recommend avoiding direct contact with any sick- looking deer or one that has died from unknown causes. More information about CWD is available at MyFWC.com/CWD. The Web site also offers links to wildlife and health agencies with more in-depth information about the disease.

Cattley guava/Psidium littorale normally grows some 25 feet tall and about half as wide. It grows widely over zones 10A-11. It's a semi-upright, small evergreen tree that often has well-branched multi- ple trunks that are highly desirable from an artistic standpoint, being reminiscent of Japanese art. Adding to their beauty is the soft honey-rose coloring of the trunk which peels its bark periodically leaving patches of soft mottled green.

Psidium guajava grows sporadi- cally over the region, more or less, in zones 10A-11. It's not unusual to find hand- some groups on back roads and many fence rows along state and county roads. When ripe the fruit is a rather dull light lemon color, mostly about the size of golf balls. When fully ripe, the fruit will readi- ly fall into your hand when touched.

A properly designed micro- irrigation system will decrease water loss from evaporation, wind and runoff. It can also min- imize disease problems by applying water to the root zone of plants instead of the foliage. Micro-irrigation or low vol- ume irrigation is recommended for shrub and flower beds and potted plants. Usually micro-irri- gation emitters have a maxi- mum flow rate of 0.5 gallons per minute while traditional lawn sprinkler heads put out three gallons per minute or more. If you have an existing irriga- tion system you can increase watering efficiency by retro- fitting a micro-irrigation system; or you can just connect the sys- tem to your outdoor spigot. A stand alone micro-irrigation sys- tem can provide flexibility to meet variable water needs of new, maturing and e.tablisled plants. One of the first common components you will need if hooking into public drinking water system, is a backflow pre- vention device. This device pro- tects public health by preventing water system contamination and pollution. The backflowv pre- vention device should be attached between the spigot and other components of your sys- tem. If hooking into an existing irrigation system, start with an isolation valve. The next compo- nent needed for both systems is a filter which removes particles from water to minimize clogging of the emitters. After the filter, it is a good idea to install a pres- sure-regulation device which helps prevent rupturing of plas- tic tubing and connections. A system hooked onto your hose spigot will probably need an irri- gation controller to control the duration and frequency of the zone operation. If you are hook- ing into an existing irrigation sys- tem it is best to have the micro- irrigation section as a stand alone zone to control it e pa.rate from your lawn system. If you have an up to date digi- tal controller on your irrigation system I recommend adding a soil moisture sensor that will shut off the irrigation pump when soil moisture is adequate. Another, but less effikieiu way to shut down the .y tei n is a rain sensor device which senses when adequate 'rainfall has occurred. Polyethylene tubing is com- monly used for distribution pipe. Emitter selection depends on plant arrangement and owner preference. In-line drip tubing is recommended for groups of plants with similar water needs in a grid pattern or rows.

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. "Life in the home of Harley Holmes of Ft. Drum was a mix- ture of hard work shared by many hands and participation in a large extended family. "Mr. Holmes was a member of one of the pioneer families of Ft. Drum and he operated a general merchandise store in the commu- nity at the turn of the century. "His father, Henry Allen Holmes, arrived at Ft. Drum around 1878 along with his step- father, Henry L. Parker. The pair, along with Joel Swain, a primitive Baptist preacher, were the origi- nal settlers of the community. "Henry Holmes and his wife, Joanna Morgan, were the parents of nine children. Following her death in 1894, he married Carrie Roberts of Orange County and they were the parents of five more children. His oldest son, Harley was born in 1878 "Harley Holmes opened and operated a general store in Ft. Drum during the early 1900s. His daughter, Thelma, 87 years young when Twila wrote this account in 1989, recalled her life in Ft. Drum. "I worked in the store. We did- n't keep it open all the time. I'd have to take the key and go out there and wait on people when they came. The Indians traded there a whole lot. They would sell their hides and we shipped them. I can't remember where the com- pany was located.' "She said they were mainly coon and gator hides that the Indi- ans brought into their store. They ', ':'ul>d also bring in huckleberries to sell to the store. She said they would d sell clabbei to the indians. Thelma recalled the Indians would camp acios' the Ft. Drum Creek. ..... ,. ,. ., , ."They'd have. their camp over. there. They'd have a pot of grits and they %woulj all eat out of it., They'd eat lutlet-s and gophers. too,' she said.-' "On a tape of a talk that Thel- ma's aunt, Addie, a noted histori- an, gave at Indian Hammock in 1982, she too, recalled some of those early days just after the turn of the century and going into her step-brother's -tore. "Now, that %\as the most fasci- nating place in the community - to get to go to the store. One thing they had that every child looked forward to was a nice long stick of stick candy. That old country store was a real joy to go to. Everybody come to the store,' she said. "Thelma said the stick candy was similar to a candy cane only straight and somewhat thicker. They came in all sorts of flavors like peppermint, lemrrn and Special to INl,'Vww lamartin.con This was Main Street, Fort Drum about 1912. In the center is Harley Holmes' general store where Thelma worked. The house on extreme right is his home and the small building across the street from the store is Minor Holmes' barber shop. Recollections A series about Florida's pioneers and history -'--0 peanut butter. She said they cost a penny each. "Froml907 to '1910, Harley Holmes was also the postmaster in Ft. Drum with the postal facility located in the store. Thelma recalled sending out and collect- ing the mail in those days before the railroad came through the town. "J.M. Lee would go over in horse and wagon to meet the train and pick up the mail. Some- times he had to wait a long time. Then he met the train at night to send the mail out," she said.. "The family had a garden and she said when they were building the railroad, there was a large group of men working on the construction cew and irie used .to coQne, to her hose and buy vegetables out of the garden. ;. "We had a big field of cane... We had a came mill and we made syrup every year. We had to strip that cane and they called it Japan- ese cane. It was the best syrup in the world, I thought then. But I don't care for it now," Thelma said. "In addition to the store, her father was in the cattle business. When the time came for a roundup on the open prairie, all the cattlemen would join in. Flori. da was all open range in those days and not a fence was in sight on the prairies. The cattlemen would range for miles collecting all the cattle. Then, they would separate them and each owner would claim his own cattle. "When they had a roundup, they'd all go out together. They'd take an ox wagon and carry their G1laes Health Care Center Skilled Long & Short Term Care Facility Healthcare Services Include: *Specialized Wound Care *Resident & Family Council Groups *Full Time Medical Director *Specialized HIV Care *Dialysis Support *Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy *Alzheimer's Support Groups 24 hour Registered Nurse Staffing SIntravenous Therapy 'Therapeutic Activities 230 South Barfield Highway Pahokee, Florida 33476-1834 PHONE: 561-924-556i FAX: 561-924-9466 Other facilities in Gainesville & Bradenton Visit our website at www.floridacare.net THURSDAY, AUGUST 17" AT 11:00 A.M.

She remembered a humorous incident about Walter Rhymes, the camp cook who drove the ox wagon. "He'd sit up there on the seat and he'd slump. Grandpa would say, 'Sit up straight. You're not supposed to slump on our back- bone,' she said %% ith a chuckle. "They'd come in (the store) and they'd pay me dadd. a quar- ter a dozen for biscuits. And I'd have to make a lard can lid full of biscuits. I wasn't very big and I'd be standing on a little chair that I had and make the biscuits. They would carry them for about ten. days. Usually, they carried a cook along to cook for them. They would bake biscuits there in a Dutch oven over the fire. They also carried sweet potatoes," she said. "Addie Emerson recalled that she went with her mother, Carrie, to the woods and the camp when the roundup was on. "We'd go out to the cow camp and my mother was as good at chopping a cabbage palm as any man you ever knew. She could really get one down in a hurry and have it in the pot boiling in no time at all. That was the way we camped. That was camping in the raw. Of course, we butchered beef every time they had a roundup. We had a nice slab of meat hanging over the fire They v.ould cut a palmetto stump and stick it in the ground and it (the meat) would drip its fat into those embers and that is good eating,' she said. I "Thelma said that she doesn't recall just where they'd drove the cattle to in order to sell them. She said that she does recall that when they drove them over to the West Coast, they would lose a lot of them.

"She remembered that there were times of "frolic" as well. Ft. Drum was well known for its square dances in thir early days. "Every Fourth of July, they would have a big picnic. They would roast a whole beef. Every- body who was running for office in Ft. Pierce would come over. It was part of St. Lucie C'-unrty tren, I guess," she said. "In 1905, St. Lucie Cojunrh, \as formed from the southern part of Brevard County. Ft. Pierce was established tas the county seat and Ft.

Harvest For All, a campaign linking America's Second Har- vest with Young Farmers and Ranchers across the country, has been around since 2003 and it is with much enthusiasm that Florida Farm Bureau joins the program this year. America's Second Harvest, a food bank network, is the United State's largest charitable hunger-relief organization. Erin Best, president of the Marion County Farm Bureau, said she first heard of this pro- gram while serving on the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher Leadership Pro- gram. "I knew my home state of Florida would participate, but in July even I was surprised at the eagerness with which Florida Farm Bureau members rallied to the cause. We set an initial state goal of two bags of food per county for a total of 1,500 lbs of food. But at the State YF&R Con- ference in July, state and county YF&R members made pledges for their respective counties, which totaled more than 20,000 lbs," Best said. So far, YF&R members in Suwannee, Jefferson, Marion, Levy, Columbia, Hardee, High- lands, Hillsborough, Palm Beach and Volusia counties have set goals and begun the process to achieve them. "I am inspired by the support the Young Farmers and Ranchers have shown for this program," said Rachel Kudelko, coordina- tor of the Young Farmer and Rancher program. "I know they are committed to making this program a success for everyone involved. This is a way for Farm Bureaus across the state to make a real difference." How to help The Florida Farm Bureau's inaugural Harvest For All cam- paign will conclude in October at the 2006 State Convention Oct. 11-13 at the Hilton Ocean Walk Village in Daytona.Beach. Each county Farm Bureau is being asked to participate by bringing canned goods, making a monetary donation or donat- ing volunteer time at a food bank. County Farm Bureaus are also encouraged to accept dona- tions from the public at their offices. Injured?

The current WIC food pack- ages were designed to supple- ment participant's diets with foods rich in five nutrients-vita- mins A and C, calcium, iron and protein-because those nutri- ents were lacking in the diets of the WIC target population when the program first began in 1974. The proposed changes largely follow recommendations made by the IOM in the final report of its review of the WIC food pack- ages, WIC Food Packages: Time for a Change, as well as the latest nutrition science and the Dietary Guidelines. Under the proposal, the food packages would be revised to add new foods such as fruits and vegetables and whole grains, while amounts of some current foods would be modi- fied. WIC provides pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants and children up to age five with nutritious sup- plemental foods. The program also provides nutrition educa- tion and referrals to health and social services. About eight mil- lion participants receive WIC benefits each month. Federal food costs for the program were $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2005. Notice of this proposed rule will be published in the Aug.7, Federal Register. A copy of the proposed rule can be found at www.fns.usda.gov/wic/. Consid- eration will be given to com- ments received up to and through 90 days from the publi- cation date.

Thomas, Ph.D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston Somewhere, when you look around, you find those "What would Jesus do" (WWJD) bracelets or neck bands. They serve as reminders to ask the question when a decision is about to be made. They come with variations; "What Would Jesus Drive?" has set off a debate and includes those who say He wouldn't drive at all. The person who doesn't have to ask that question about WWJD is Jesus Himself. He already knows! In fact, He is the one that sets the standard for the rest of those who wear the bracelets or the neck bands, or book marks or tee-shirts. The reason, of course, is that Jesus IS the one, and by His very being, he doesn't have to ask about how to act or think or do. He IS, period. Long before, God reveals Himself to Moses on the mount and Moses asks God, "Suppose I go to the people of the Israelites and say to .. them 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you' and they ~ ,- ask me 'What is His name?' . Then what shall I tell them" God said to Moses SamuelS. "I am who I Thomas am (Exodus 3:13 14)." God is who God is, and that is sufficient; He doesn't have to think about what to do, or say, or how to act. Later, Saint Paul tells the Corinthians "tbut.) by the grace of God, I am what I am...(1 Corinthians 15:9)" Paul no longer has to ask what to do, or what to say, or how to act; it has become a part of him and he knows what God would have him do. The difference is between being and acting; God is God, or Paul is Paul, or the doctor is the doctor, or the teacher is the teacher, or the expert is the expert and that's all and that's enough. I remem- ber asking about becoming flu- ent in another language; I knew words, I was able to make my way around, I was able to debate or explain-and win! But was I "fluent?" One person who had lived in another language for a long time said "You work at it and one day, you are!" Then, I had to stop and remember that there were words in my first lan- guage that I still didn't know, and there were mistakes in grammar that I was likely to make, but I was still regarded as "fluent" and never questioned it. It was really a state of being, and not a process of mastery. The question that is repre- sented by those initials, WWJD, is a recognition that we haven't yet arrived, we still need to stop and ask. That's all right, but by asking and asking, little by little, one day it can become second nature, and then acting, or say- ing or believing becomes being. That's when we know within ourselves and others recognize in us what we are; and it's a moment of fulfillment, peace, and calm. I know people who are ful- filled by their vocations; you would mention their name and someone would say "She's a teacher" or "He's a mechanic" or "They're good parents" or "They're really in love." It is not having to stop and make a choice with everything that comes up, it's having done it enough that it becomes a part of our being; questions about what to do have long since been answered. The years of working at it are rewarded and we're "flu- ent" in being ourselves, com- plete in being what God calls us to be. By knowing who we are, what we're called to be, what we are supposed to be doing in life, we can count on all of the ques- tions and decisions falling into place. It took Paul awhile to get to the point of being able to say "I am who I am" and give God the credit for it; he was a long way that day from his past or his road to Damascus experience. A young medical student told me once "When I'm in the emergency room, I don't want to have to stop and think about what to do; I just want to act and do it." He was on the way to becoming ("becoming" in a true sense) a doctor. When we be what we are, we don't need to stop and ask; that's a great moment and I believe God bless- es us in them. Whenever you can, do avoid getting a snake bite By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church Crikey! That's was a close 'un!" Steve Irwin, the Aussie known as the Crocodile Hunter, loves to stare into the yawning jaws of a large snake, jump- ing back out of just as the creature takes a snap at him. I have no such aspira- tions. I learned early to keep John an eye out for Hicks snakes, espe-- cially hiking around the woods of Florida. I learned that there are good snakes and not-so- good snakes. I try to avoid snakes, but the rea times when I found that I had to deal with them. The good snakes I try to shoo away. The not-so-good snakes that pose a health hazard I try to send to eternal glory. I always try to be careful, and have never been snake bitten until this summer. I couldn't believe it. I was snake bit! Me! With blood drip- ping down my leg, I hiked up to the cabin and shared the news. As you might imagine, they got, all excited until I assured them that it was a non-poisonous snake and proved it by showing that what had drawn blood was not fangs but a row of small teeth. My experience started when I went to the ATV to go look for the girls. Lying across the path was a four foot black snake. I found a long stick and moved her out of the way. She hissed at me, but I thought little of it. It was then I made my mistake. I assumed that she would just slither off away from me, and I turned my back to her. I got to the ATV, and took a step back when whapP!" I looked down to see her slither off and blood trickle down my ankle. "Stupid snake!" It was a lesson learned. You can't just turn your back on snakes or ignore them, thinking that they are of little conse- quence. They'll slither up behind you and bite you when you aren't looking or aren't paying attention. It's part of their nature, especially if you are heading somewhere they don't want you to go. Let me share with you anoth- er lesson learned: Satan's a snake. Take my word for it. Be on your guard. He's crafty and cunning. He lurks in every dark corner. He prowls in the dark- ness. He worms his way into every life and he strikes without abandon. No one is immune. Young, old, rich, poor, it doesn't matter. You turn your back on him or ignore him and, whapP!" You're snake bit. Be alert. Be very alert. We never know when he will creep up and strike next. You can see where he has slithered causing unrest in the world, egotism in our government, and question- able moral ethics within the leadership of some of our schools and churches. Perhaps the most deadly snake-sign how- ever, shows itself in the poison of complacency that has manifest- ed itself in many Christians. In many ways, we have become complacent and have reached a point where we either don't see the need to go into action or can't see what good it would do if we did. We are living and doing the best we can in our own. lives, and the Lord knows we have problems enough of our own.

The EAA Reservoir will be constructed south of Lake Okeechobee on a 16,700-acre parcel in western Palm Beach County, just west of U.S. 27. When complete, the above. ground structure will store up to 190,000 acre-feet of water, or 62 billion gallons of water. This is equivalent to 100,000 Olympic- sized swimming pools. When complete, the first com- ponent of the Everglades Agricul- tural Area Reservoir will cover 25 square miles and provide 190,000 acre-feet of water storage to bet- ter manage water released from Lake Okeechobee and to improve the timing and quality of water delivered to the famed River of Grass. The $400 million reservoir is the flagship project of the State's Acceler8 initiative to com- plete eight critical Everglades restoration projects ahead of schedule. "Florida is keeping its promise to restore the River of Grass and protect this national treasure," said Governor Bush. "By con- structing this massive water stor- age system, we can better control water releases, restore wildlife habitat and protect the state's estuaries." Engineers will move close to 18 million cubic yards of earth to construct the Everglades Agricul- tural Area Reservoir on 16,700) acres of former farmland. Along with capturing runoff from agri- cultural areas, the reservoir will store freshwater releases from Lake Okeechobee to reduce harmful discharges to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estu- aries. The reservoir will also pro- vide additional water to hydrate the Everglades, increase flood protection and allow water man- agers to capture and direct phos- phorus-laden water to construct- ed wetlands for treatment. "The magnitude of this project is awe-inspiring," said South Flori- da Water Management District Governing Board Chairman Kevin McCarty, "yet our commitment to, Everglades restoration is just as big. The EAA Reservoir is one of many outstanding projects, and they are all aimed at bringing environmental benefits to the Everglades ecosystem as soon as possible." To guide the EAA Reservoir, the South Florida Water Manage- ment District initially construct- ed two storage areas that togeth- er held 24 million gallons of water. These test reservoirs, called test cells, provided engi- neers with critical information to design and build the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir. Scheduled for completion in 2010, the reservoir will store approximately 62 billion gallons of water the equivalent of more than five million residen- tial swimming pools. "Today's groundbreaking of the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir is the strongest exam- ple yet of how far and fast we have traveled from planning to concrete action in the shared fed- eral/state Everglades restoration effort," said White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair- man James L. Connaughton. "This Acceler8 project is an essen- tial component of the infrastruc- ture needed to fulfill the commit- ment by President Bush and Gov- ernor Bush to provide the water needed to revive this important ecosystem." The EAA Reservoir is the largest of three major reservoirs under construction as part of the State's Acceler8 effort. This proj- ect is the first phase of a reservoir system that will store approxi- mately 360,000 acre-feet of water on 30,000 acres of State-owned land between the North New River Canal and the Miami Canal. Announced by Governor Jeb Bush in October 2004, Acceler8 is stepping up the pace of funding, design and construction to com- plete eight Everglades restoration projects over seven years. At sub- stantial savings to taxpayers, the projects will restore 100,000 acres of wetlands, expand water treat- ment areas by close to 29,000 acres and provide 428,000 acre- feet of additional water storage for Everglades restoration a decade ahead of schedule. Five of the eight Acceler8 projects are already underway. Since February 2006, the State has expanded three Everglades Agricultural Area treatment wetlands and launched construction on the C-43 Caloosa- hatchee West Storage Reservoir, the C-44 St. Lucie Canal Reser- voir/Stormwater Treatment Area and the Acme Basin B Discharge Project. Under the leadership of Gover- nor Bush, Florida has forged ahead to implement the $10.5 bil- lion, State-federal Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Since 2000, Florida has invested more than $2 billion and commit- ted an additional $3.2 billion through the end of the decade to clean up and restore the famed River of Grass.

Irm Ii" 'l l:lnllj ,:.0v (rI B'iOriuf Be wary and scratch out poison ivy By Dan Culbert Special to INI Last week an office visitor asked to see a picture of Poison Ivy he had been working in an overgrown area and thought he'd seen something familiar. Next he rolled up his shirt sleeve and showed me a raging rash. The claim was, "I never got it before, so I didn't think itwas poison ivy." Poison Ivy is found in Flori- da Yards, along fence lines, in natural areas and, yes, even by the beach. Everyone needs to know this native plant is well established here. And for many, touching this plant or its relatives will result in skin rash- es. Being able to identify this poisonous plant is a first step in avoiding it. It's also necessary to scratch out this weed from Florida Yards. I wouldn't sug- gest you bring in a specimen for positive ID. Instead, take a look at the pictures in UF Extension Agent Pat Grace's Poison Ivy bulletin, available at our office, or sneak a peek at the photos on our Web site. A relative problem Many people get rashes that look like that of poison ivy, but swear "they were nowhere near it". Several relatives of this itchy invader are also found in our area. These include edible plants such as the mango, pis- tachio and cashew, the inva- sive-exotic Brazilian Pep- pertree, and native sumacs and Poisonwood. Therefore, if you get a rash from poison ivy, be careful with mangos and be UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IFAS EXTENSION prepared when chopping out those problematic Peppers from your Florida Yard. Our Eastern Poison Ivy has the name Toxicodendron radi- cans, although some may call it Rhus radicans. Any way you call it, look for a climbing woody vine that can live for many years. The stem has small aerial roots that let it cling to upright trunks of trees or palms and walls. This is a common plant in local wood- lands. When cabbage palms are moved from the wild into the landscape, poison ivy vines can also be transplanted with them. Less common is the appearance of a seedling under power lines, courtesy of one of our feathered friends. Leaves of three let them be. The leaf of this plant, or more correctly, the leaflet, is quite variable in shape. Most have heard of the adage: "leaves of three let them be." Poison ivy leaves actually con- sist of three shiny leaflets. Indi- vidual leaflets measure from two to four inches long and are pointed at the tip Poison Ivy is often confused with other multiple leaved plants. A common look-alike is another native vine, Virginia Creeper, which has five dull- green leaflets. Small yellowish-green flow- ers appear in the spring and grow in clusters right above the leaf stalks. Seed-like fruits, with a soft fleshy covering, are one- quarter inch in size and gray- ish-white when the clusters ripen in the fall. In winter, Poi- son Ivy leaves turn red and fall from the. vine but be aware they still have sap that can cause rashes. The fruit of Poison Sumac, which is not native to our area, is also whitish in color. The Sumacs found in our area have red fruit, and are important as a food source for wildlife. Poison Oaks are likewise not found here in South Central Florida. An irritating oil Inside these plants is a chemical called urushioi. This toxin irritates skin and mucous membranes. Some people are quite sensitive to the effects while others sho%% no prob- lems. Senstivity to the poison ivy relatives can also come and go as we get older. Urushiol has no effect on other animals, but pets may get this oil on their hair and carry it to us Susceptible people show intense itching within hours, or it may take several days alter contact with the poison oil Skin inflammation and blisters then erupt on the skin. Itching doesn't spread the rash, but oil residues under the fingernail might "spread the red" And note that burning poison i\v plant parts is not a good idea the sap in the smoke can spread the toxin. Preparing to rip it out Extremely sensiti e persons should ask for help when removing these plants., if ou expect exposure to these' plants, prepare with what you wear, and use the new lotions that prevent rashes. Lotions and creams containing the active ingredient bentoquatam (e.g.: Ivy-Block) should be used before the weed-whack- ing begins. When properly applied, 15 minutes before exposure to the poison ivy rela- tives, the symptoms may be eliminated. Long pants and long sleeved shirts, fully enclosed shoes, with leather or canvas gloves are suggested.

Ivy removal Hand cultivation and prun- ing (with gloves on i nrna, work for small plants if the person is not fully sensitized. This may be the best approach if weed killers would damage desirable plants growing close to this vine. In most cases, herbicides are probably the better choice. Many can be used directly on poison ivy leaves growing along fences. Some granular herbicides are labeled for longer follow-up ivy control. However, most of these pesti- cides will also injure or kill desirable trees that harbor these vines. A technique that I like to suggest is to cut out a section ot actively growing vine and promptly applying a legal her- bicide to the bottom half of the cut stem to control re-sprout- ing. Choose an herbicide only after reading the pesticide label. At the time of this writ- ing, some herbicides legally used on poison ivy relatives may contain 2, 4-D, glyphosate, imazapyr, and tri- clopyr. Some products are labeled for specific sites, and pesticide registrations change oter time. Checlfwith your UF Extension service for current recommendations.

The C-43 (Caloosahatchee River) West Storage Reservoir test cells will provide engineers with valuable data that will guide design and construction of the $338 million C-43 West Storage Reservoir When complete, the reservoir will protect the Caloosahatchee River and Estuary by captur- ing and storing local stormwater runoff and fresh- water releases from Lake Okeechobee. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) project managers and engineers provided a series of 40-minute guided tours of the test cells allowing community members to wit- ness the reservoir's progress. The two test cells hold approximately 69 acre-feet each of water from the Caloosahatchee River the equivalent of approximately 45 Olympic-sized pools and provide engineers with critical water quality, embankment and seepage information to design and build the C-43 Reservoir, which will be locat- ed 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 Department of Environmental Protection (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 monumental 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 of water or approx- imately 79,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools averaging 20 feet deep. Scheduled to be operational by 2011, the above-ground reservoir will comprise a significant portion of the total %water storage requirement for the entire C- 43 basin. The reservoir will capture and store local stormwater runoff and fresh- water releases from Lake Okeechobee, reducing dis- charges to the coastal estuar- ies, improving the health oft the ecosystem and revitalizing fish and oyster habitats b\ maintaining salinity levels. The project will also provide public access and recreation opportunities foi outdoor enthusiasts. "The great turnout today for the tours is an indication of the public's high level of inter- est in the restoration," said SFWMD Governing Board Member Alice J. Carlson. "The tours also help the pub- lic gain a better understanding of how water storage is criti- cal to getting' the water right to improve the health of our interconnected Everglades water bodies, including the Caloo)sahaichee River and Estuar\." - The C-43 Caloohsahatchee Rive I \\est Resel oir Prolect is one olf four AccelerS proj- ects launched this year. The Slate started construction on three treatment welland expansions in Febi uiary, the C- -144 St. Lucie Riveln Reser- voir Storm\ ater Treatment Area in Match and the Water Preserve Area Acme Basin B' Discharge Project construc- lion in June. On"Aug. 2, th a Slate %ill begin construction on the Eveiglades Agricultural Area Reserve oir, the largest of the three AccelerS reseroins,. which will ha'e the capacity to store approximately 62 bil- lion gallons ol after r when complete. The leservon will improve the timing and quali- ty ol water deliveiea to AiTieri ca'sEveiglades. Announced by Governor Jeb Bush in -October 2004, Acceler8 is stepping up the pace of funding, design and .construction to complete eight critical Everglades restoration projects over seven years. At substantial savings to taxpayers, the proj- tcts \ ill restore 100,000 acres of %wetlands, expand water treatment areas by close to 29.01)0 aces and provide 418,000 acre-feet of additional water storage for Everglades restoration a decade ahead of schedule. Under the leadership of Governor Bush, Florida has forged ahead to implement the Comprehensive Ever- glades 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.

Bronson reminds college-bound students to learn TALLAHASSEE Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson is urging students, their parents and others who may be renting apartments or houses at the end of the summer to review their rights and responsibili- ties as tenants. College bound students will be renting for the first time this fall and Bronson says they can avoid the pitfalls if they do some research in advance. "Many college students and their parents are focusing on getting settled and may not pay enough attention to the details of the lease," Mr. Bron- son said. "But that may end up costing them and creating headaches down the road. It is much better to know exact- ly what you are getting into before signing a lease." First and foremost, people need to know there is no grace period for canceling a lease so they need to under- stand all the terms of the con- tract BEFORE they sign. A prospective renter should walk through the premises to identify any preexisting dam- age or problems that should be fixed, taking pictures and notes of any questionable conditions. They should be sure an agreement to fix any problems is spelled out:in the lease. State law requires that the landlord comply with housing and health codes, keep the unit in good repair and keep the plumbing in good working order. However, tenants have responsibilities as well. The law says they must also com- ply with housing and health codes, keep the unit clean and sanitary, not destroy or'dam- age any part of the premises, not act in a manner which dis- turbs the tenant's neighbors and remove garbage from the dwelling. Bronson says one of the biggest problems involves multiple names on a lease, a common, practice with col- lege students. If any of the ten- ants leave, the others will be held liable for his or her por- tion of the rent. In addition, if a renter has roommates who are not on the lease, the renter is held liable for the entire amount. i Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes tells exactly what can be done if either party does not comply with the require- ments. The law spells out when rent can be withheld, under what conditions a ten- ant can be evicted and requires that notices to and from a landlord must be in writing. There are also specif- ic time periods established to resolve complaints. The Department has a detailed brochure on the land- lord/tenant law on its Division of Consumer Services website at www.800helpfla.com under Publications or con- sumers can request a brochure by calling the Department's Consumer Hot- line at 1-800-HELP FLA (1- 800-435-7352). USDA marketing assistance loan programs change niI 0 GAINESVILLE The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) has changed the marketing assis- tance loan (MAL) and loan deficiency payment (LDP) program, announced Kevin L. Kelley, State Executive Direc- tor of the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA). The amended policies and procedures affect the 2006 and subsequent crop years.. CCC made the changes in Chapter 7 of the Code of Fed- eral Regulations, Part 1421 (7 CFR Part 1421) through a final rule issued on June 6. The rule is posted online at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/dafp /psd/7cfr1l421.pdf. On July 7, CCC clarified some of the changes to open storage, con- tract policy and other issues through Notice LP-2035. The notice is posted online at: ftp://165.221.16.16/public/not ices/lp_2035.pdf. I Some of the regulatory changes to the MAL and LDP program include: Beneficial interest provi- sions In the past, loan pro- gram regulations did not state that a producer loses benefi- cial interest in a loan eligible commodity when the com- modity is delivered to a dairy, feedlot, ethanol plant, feed mill, wool pool or other end- use facility. The regulations were amended to state that beneficial interest is lost when a loan eligible com- modity is delivered to one of the previously mentioned facilities. Announcement of the adjusted world price (AWP) for rice CCC changed the announcement time and day from Tuesdays at 3 p.m. East- ern Time (ET) to Wednesdays at7 a.m. ET. Lien searches and financing statements After reviewing the costs incurred by CCC and the benefits to CCC, CCC will limit its use of lien searches for MALs greater than $25,000 and file financ- ing statements only for farm- stored MAL disbursements of $25,000 or more. In the past, CCC conducted lien searches on all loans regardless of the loan amount. CCC may, how- ever, conduct lien searches and file financing statements for loan disbursements of $25,000 or less when there is reason to believe that CCC's interests will not be protect- ed. Use of form CCC-633 EZ - In an effort to simplify the LDP request process, CCC recently issued a new LDP form, CCC-633 EZ. The CCC- 633 EZ is a two-part form con- sisting of an agreement, which is page 1 of the CCC- 633 EZ, and a request for ben- efits, which is either pages 2, 3 or 4, depending on the com- modity. The 2002 Farm Bill pro- vides for MALs and LDPs for the 2002-2007 crops of wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, soybeans, other oilseeds (including sunflower seed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, rapeseed, mustard seed, crambe, and sesame seed), .rice, upland cotton, peanuts, honey, wool, mohair, dry peas, lentils and small chick- peas. MALs provide producers interim financing at harvest time to meet cash flow needs without having to sell their commodities when market prices are typically at harvest- time lows. Allowing produc- ers to store production at har- vest facilitates more orderly marketing, of commodities throughout the year. A pro- ducer who is eligible to obtain a loan, but who agrees to forgo the loan, may obtain an LDP. USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers the MAL and LDP program on behalf of CCC. An FSA fact sheet pro- vides more information about the MAL and LDP program. The fact sheet is found online at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/pas/ publications/facts/html/non- rec03.htm. FSA news releases and media advisories are available on FSA's Web site at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/pas/. I Save money on your I favorite grocery items.
