Development moves forward


By Nicole Curry
Glades County Democrat
The Glades County Communi-
ty Development Department has a
new project in the works. 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.

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-

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

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

ence room along with repre-
sentatives of Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation
(FDOT), and the public is wel-

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.

Sergeant and Team Vice-
Chair/Secretary Kim Hill report-

made itself perfectly at home in
south central Florida. 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-

How are gasoline prices calculated?


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.

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

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."
FHREDI is a regional organi-

Among man\ ruial based initia-
tives, the Go ernor created the
Rural Areas of Critical Economic
Concern which provides rural
areas with greater access to the
s,tte.'s...ecQnomic and tourism

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.

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."

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.

Reflections published by Bantam

University professor receives award


GAINESVILLE If water is the
land's lifeblood, you can think of
Kenneth Campbell as a first class
agricultural cardiologist.
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."

levels in South Florida. In the early
80's it was recognized that excess

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-

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.

Improved data
quality leads to
decline in appeals

TALLAHASSEE Education
Commissioner John L. Winn
today announced that Florida
school districts are improving at
quality data management which
is leading to a decline in the
number of school grade appeals.
Each year, school districts may
submit appeals to the Depart-
ment of Education (DOE) for
school grades under Governor
Jeb Bush's A+ Plan for Educa-
tion and Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) designations
required by the federal 1,io Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act. This
year, districts submitted appeals
on behalf of 33 schools, includ-


ing 14 school grade appeals, 11
AYP appeals and eight for both
school grades and AYP, down
from 49 appeals last year and 68
appeals the previous year.
"I applaud the school districts
for their improved data manage-
ment," said Commissioner
Winn. "Transparency and under-
standability are critical to the
success of our accountability
system. By successfully manag-
ing data and minimizing errors,
we can better serve the students
and families of Florida."
This year 19 appeals were
accepted, including six school
grade appeals and eight AYP
appeals. In addition, five for both
school grades and AYP appeals
were accepted. The appeals
resulted in improving the grade
for a number of schools with
two schools now earning a "B",

Picayune Strand Restoration


gets federal authorization


When people first dug canals
and paved roads through
Picayune Strand to build South-
ern Golden Gates Estates, there
was little public awareness
about the n-aional environmen-
tal importance of Florida's Ever-
glades,
More than 40 years later,
earth moving equipment is
again altering this 55,000-acre
swath of real estate in western
Collier County, but with the
intent of restoring its natural
water flows and lush native habi-
tat.
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.

ject and CERP, visit www.ever-

Cabinet vote brings much-needed

insurance relief to Floridians


TALLAHASSEE Tom Gal-
lagher, Florida's chief financial
officer, applauded the decision
by the Governor and Cabinet to
approve reactivating the Com-
mercial Joint Underwriting Asso-
ciation (JUA). 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.

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. For more information,
please go to
http://desoto.ifas.ufl.edu/wildlife
_and_conservation.htm, or call
863-993-4846.

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

thin and papery and much larger
than the Cattley. Its flowers, which
are practically scentless, appear in
spring and are quite showy but its
fruit doesn't usually ripen until late
summer or early fall.
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. Both these sub-tropic
fruits are members of the Myr-
taceae family.

Micro-irrigate to save water and improve landscape


By Ed Ayen,
Florida Yards & Neighborhood
Special to INI
/ This is another in a series of
articles written about the new
area program called Florida
Yards & Neighborhoods (FYN).
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. Drip
tubing is easy to install and

Harley Holmes lived in Fort Drum Florida's candidates in
0/ 1* 1


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.
"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

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

rations in the ox wagon. They'd
be out for eight or ten days some-
times. All the men who owned
cattle would go," Thelma
recalled.
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 said that a lot of the
time, the mosquitoes, would

Florida Farm Bureau helps fight hunger


(GAINESVILLE) This year
the Florida Farm Bureau and the
Young Farmers and Ranchers
Leadership Group has
embarked on a campaign to
help fight hunger in the Sun-
shine State.
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.

USDA proposes change to WIC food packages


WASHINGTON The U.S.
Department of Agriculture's
Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) announced proposed
changes to the Special Supple-
mental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children
(WIC) food packages that reflect
recommendations made by the
National Academies of Sciences'
Institute of Medicine (IOM).
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.

WWJD a question Jesus does not ask himself Church Briefs


By The Reverend Samuel S.
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. We may not be happy
with what we see, but for the

Governor Bush breaks ground for EAA reservoir


PALM BEACH COUNTY -
Governor Jeb Bush joined local,
state and federal leaders to break
ground on one of the most
expansive reservoirs in the
world as part of the massive
effort to restore America's Ever-
glades. 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.

Acceler8, visit. www.ever-
gladesnow.org.

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

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. If vines or
branches are glowing above.
protective ey'e wIear and a
'\ide-brimmed hal should also
be oi n. A oid brushing up
against the plants as much as
possible during removal opera-
tions. Protective clothing
shouId be cai elullt removed as,
soon as practical atlte expo-
sure to these plants. Don't mix
these clothes with other laun-
dry the irritating oil could be
transferred
II accidental exposure to
poison iN occurs. a ten per-
cent water solution of potassi-
um permanganale applied 5-
10 minutes after exposure may
pre ent rashes. It should be fol-
lowed b\ repeated washes
with soap and cool water to
iemov.e the oily sap. Thou-
sands ol othei folk-remedies
also exist, but le\\ \Aork tor
,%er one. In case ot severe
reactions, get to a hospital ot
consult vvith qualified medical
professionals.

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.

Florida marks Everglades restoration progress


LA BELLE 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 Everglades
restoration initiative. 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

USDA marketing assistance loan programs change


niI

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.

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:
