II1 I1 1111110 1 8 16510 00022 1 County works with prospects GLADES COUINT1Y Even as construction continues on the new Glades County Jail and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility, the Glades County Economic Development, Council (EDC) is working with County Manager XVrendell Taylor to identify companies to site -in the county's 40-acre industrial park. Mr. Taylor recently told mem- bers of the City County Sewer Authority at their Aug. 28 regular meeting that-the county and the EDC are currently. working with two manufacturing prospects for the park. According to EDC Executive Director Tracy Whirls, conceptu- al designs for the park are expect- ed to be finalized within a couple of weeks and costs associated with needed infrastructure, including roads, sewer, electric and water lines, should be avail- able shortly. The EDC office is in discus- ,sion with Enterprise Florida con- cerning infrastructure funds for the project The 40-acre Glades County Business and Commerce Park is expected to be subdi\nided into two to two and a half acre parcels, and comprised of busi- rie;ses requiring ten or fewer acres l'1.r their projects "The county doesn't \ant to put all its eggs in one basket," Ms. Whirls said. The count\ is targeting prima- rily light industrial, enclosed n-manufacturing facilities for the new business and commerce park, although the EDC director is quick to note theie are other industrially zoned properties available in Glades County which are not as restricted. "The counr\i's business park, is going to be in the same com- plex as the n\ew county jail ICE facility, so you may not want companies there which might require a lot of storage for materi- als," the EDC director said. "Thdiee are other properties in the county that would be perfectly suited for companies where plenty of outdoor storage, for materials or equipment is avail- able." Glades County Manager Wen- dell Taylor echoed, the Ms. Whirls' remarks.

The commission, which is comprised of the members of the Moore Haven City Council, on the advice of City Attorney Steve Ramunni, agreed to a 30- day delay on the proposed demolition of the building, to allow Historical Society mem- bers' and Main Street Moore Haven members more time to identify a buyer or to raise $250,000 to acquire the build- ing. The building's owner, Rox- anne Angelica of Miami, through her attorney Jody Hendry, has acquired a demoli- tion permit and had contracted with a Miami contractor to demolish the building for $20,000. The attorney, who at a previous meeting had said his See Arcade Page 12 By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to the Glades County Democrat MUSE Attending school at, West Glades Elementary is not an ordinary adventure or teach- ing there for that matter. Every ,month, and often more than once, there is an extraordinary event designed to broaden the horizon of students of all grades and ages. For instance, responding to the idea of Go er noir Jeb Bush and the Commissioner of Edu- cation John Winn, within the last week there was a special exercise in student reading, the results of which just might end up in the Guinness Book of World Records. The idea was to record the largest number of students gathered together reading aloud, simultaneously in multi- ple locations all across the state of Florida. The material from which they read was an excerpt from "Peter and the Starcatch- er," by Florida co-authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat LAKEPORT School chil- dren in Lakeport have a home- work haven at the Lakeport After School Program. The homework help is provided by Debbie Zeigler and local volun- teers. Ms. Zeigler was responsible for taking care of her younger siblings, cousins and neighbors while she was growing-up in Ohio. She said that when she was young it meant a great deal to her when caring adults offered to help with homework. Debbie Ziegler has been plan- ning to return the favor for a long, long time. "This has been a dream," she said last week.. Twenty-two school children This giant exercise included participation of middle school- ers totalling 300,000 across the state. The students began the simultaneous readinIg project at 11:25 which continued .for some three minutes across the eniite Sunshine Slate / Th1e record the:, \'.re trying to bi el-,,: as the ,on- sei in 2004 in tIe United Kingdorn, when 155,528 students parlicipadi'd. Since then no ieccr oi ha-s been set. Stella Luckey, director of the Guinness World Book Project at. West Glades said, "There Were tons of paper work in\ i,,,d in this exercise all shapes and sizes of forms to fill out as well as record and records to keep," Ms. Luckey said. "We had to have notaries and witnesses not only from the school but from outside as well. The require- ment was there had to be at least two witnesses who were constitutional officers from Glades County." For the event, the two wit- nesses were Joe Flint, Glades County Clerk of Court, and Alvin attend the program at the Lake- port Community Center. The school bus stops conveniently at the center, and volunteer tutors assist with homework, supervi- sion, and snacks. The service is free to any child old enough to attend school. Participating students are 4- to 12-years-old, and a high school student may do commu- nity service as a requirement for child development class. By December, Ms. Zeigler is hoping the enrollment will increase to accommodate 30 students. Parents and family members volunteer their time also, includ- ing Jo Randolph, a former math teacher. The Lakeport Community Association donated $100 to Ms. See School-Page 12 \\dhd, Glades Count) Coirrrn-is- sioner District Two. "We had 124 students pai tic- ipating," Ms. Luckey said. "All 124 piled into the library in time to begin at exactly 11:25. It \\ as really wonderful to see how excited and enthusiastic all-of them were. All the participating schools were able to \v,rt:h eittr.:t) the bIoaidcasdt or the web cast Irorn ihe Florida Education- al Channel." The Moore Haven Middle School was also a participating school with 169 students taking part in the event. Principal Jean Prowant said, "The gathering of the students was in the auditori- um and there was no notable excitement until Governor Jeb Bush came on the web site. Then it was won- derful see the enthusiasm from all those students. "Of course we're hoping we'll end up breaking the Unit- ed Kingdom's record in the , Guinness World Book of records," Ms. Prowant said.

After 18 years of service as the hospital Pharmacy Director, she has decided to retire. Hospital employees held a sur- prise reception on Monday, Sept 25, to honor Sandy Woodall, B.S., Pharm.D., who was even further surprised when her mother joined the reception. Her friends and family had made arrange- ments to have her flown in from North Carolina. Although Dr. Woodall has con- tributed too many accomplish- ments to list during her years of dedication to the hospital, she can be recognized for implementing remote order entry and video veri- fication processes to reduce med- ication errors and the medication reconciliation program that retrieves retail patient prescription information. In addition, Dr. Woodall's publication about Tele- pharmacy, which was published by the Joint Commission, was a credit to her many achievements. Sandy said that she would like to thank the Board of Authority and Hospital Administration for their support throughout her years of employment. She also credited the pharmacy and nurs- ing staff for being instrumental in her successes. One of her last comments was, "It has been fun; we've made a difference." Xi Zeta Chapter has key events planned The Xi Zeta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi in Belle Glade met recently in the home of Karen Corbin. Her co-hostess was Judy McMillan.

Pet Corner Question: Dear Doc Savvy, Are "Greenies "really bad or unsafe for my dog? Thank you, Kenny in Cle%%iston. Answer: Hey there Kenny The short answer is Yes and No ". The long answer is... As long as you give your dog the correct size gree- nie vou \\ill be fine. First of all let's mention what greenies are. Greenies are a wonderful digestible dog bone which is a great choice for your dog's dental care. There has been some recent media controversy- on greenies safety. There have been recent inci- dences where greenies had caused choking and intestinal obstructions in a.few dogs. As a result of this happening, a lot of people have been torn about greenies. The bottom line is .. Choke and intestinal obstruction can hap- pen with many different treats, toys, food etc. Not just greenies! In general, greenies, and nylabones have been a better and safer alternative to raw hide bones and real bones. However, greenies and nylabones can get a bit expen- sive, especially in the larger sizes. So, what a lot of people have been doing is buying a larger size and cutting it to make several treats. What big dogs do with these mini chunks is, swallow them whole. What has happened in a few cases is this had caused a choking or intestinal obstruction. Both are seli- ous Both can be deadly. If you want to give \ou'i doi: a greenie or nylabone 'hen, make sure you buy them the correct size. When it gets chewed down to a lit- tle knuckle, then toss it. I guess supervision is always helpful with anything. Hope that explains your question about greenies Kenny! Take care, Doc Savvy.

On Sept. 29, Congressman Foley resigned his seat in Con- K,., gress, following f. . reports 'in the media that he had engaged in - sexually explicit communica- - tions with these teenage boys . over the Inter- Mark net. F "Today I Foley have delivered a letter to the Speak- er of the House informing him of my decision to resign from the U.S. House of Representatives, effective today," stated Mr. Foley on Friday. "I thank the people of Florida's 16th Congressional District for giving me the opportunity to serve them for the last 12 years; it has been an honor. "I am deeply sorry and I apolo- gize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent," he said. Constituents in Foley's 16th Congressional District expressed shock at the ne\\ s., "It was a shocker," said Mel Karau, Hendry County GOP Execu- tive Committee Chairman.."We vis- ited Mark Foley in Washington. I think he's done a lot of good work for District 16. It's a shame if the ,allegations are true." "He represented us %well. The last thing we expected was for something like this to happen." said Glades County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Doug Korinke. Mr. Korinke said he was sur- prised at the ne\x s, % which also may, put the Republican party's election chances in Florida at risk. "You can onrl judge a book by its cover until you read it," he said. "When this happens, it's a big. black eve and it has a trickle-down effect on the whole party. "I don't want to cut Mr. Foley down because he has done a lot of great things, but this blemish is unforgivable," he said. Mr. Korinke said he is con- cerned about the allegations that I(..

In Pahokee, Malor J P Sasser said Foleywas a constant source of support for the Glades initiatives in Washinglon, D.C. "Even though \ve're not in his district, he always had strong feel- ings for the Glades. He %was a sup- porter of our regional water plant," said Mr. Sasser. He said news of the scandal took local residents by sur- pnse. "Like everyone else, I'm com- pletely shocked," said Mr. Sasser. "I just did not know that side of Mark, which is a private side. My prayers go to everyone involvedd" On Monday, Folev's attorney. David Roth, told the Associated Press that Foley checked into an alcoholism rehabilitation facility over the weekend. He refused to identify the facility. Florida Democratic Party offi- cials are calling foi an investigation of Mark Foley and %o others w ho may have known about allegations against him. "These Republicans failed to safeguard vulnerable youths for whom they were directly responsi-. ble. That's the bottom line The Foley Five must be fully investigated and held accountable for their rieg- ligence," Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman said. "The Foley Fie should suspend all cam- paign activities until the investiga- tion is complete, and all recipients of Foley-tainted money ought to, donate those funds to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children immediately or they risk implicitly supporting the actions of thosewho protected Mark Foley." The "Foley Five" as designated by the Democratic leadership, include: U.S. House Speaker Den- nis Hastert, R-Ill., U.S. Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y, U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, R-lll., U.S. House Majorit Leader John Boehner. R-Ohio, and U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-La. According to reports in the Associated Press, the FBI is investi- gating the case. Ironically, Foley could end up being prosecuted under child protection laws he helped enact. Foley, a Republican from Fort Pierce, was elected to Congress in .1994. Prior to his election to Con- gress, he served in the Florida Leg- islature. Under Floridalaw, Foley's name will remain on the ballot. The bal- lots have already been printed and some absentee ballots have already been sent out. The Florida Statutes provide that "for any reason, an event occurs which causes a party to have a vacancy in nomination, not to have. a candidate for an office from that party, that part, can consider desig- nation of a nominee to fill the vacancy." On Monday afternoon, the Flori- da Republication Committee named Joe Negron as the new can- didate for the District 16 Congres- sional Seat. Votes cast for Foley will go to Mr. Negron. State Representative Negron, Negron runs for Fla. District 16 seat By Pete Gawda INI FLORIDA "I'm now the Republican nominee," announced State Rep- resentative Joe Negron in a tele- phone press conference late Mon- day afternoon. He will be running for the 16th District congressional seat of Mark Foley who recently resigned in the light of allegations of improper conduct concerning male pages. Mr. Foley is now receiving treatment for "alcoholism and related behavioral problems," according to the Associated Press. He could also face criminal charges. Rep. Negron reminded voters that Mr. Foley's name would still be on the ballot because it is too late to reprint ballots. "The name of Foley is a place holder," he asserted. "If you want a conservative congressman who supports the president, vote the Republican ticket." He said he will still hold . his seat as state representative o as he runs for Congress. Rep. Joe Negron Negron claimed that his views and his track record were closer to those of the voters than those of his opponent, Democrat Tim Mahoney, and that he has the endorsement of U. S. Senator Mel Martinez. Mr. Mahoney was quoted by the Associated Press earlier in the day as saying that his campaign will largely remain the same; speaking about problems in Washington and letting voters know who he is. Rep. Negron said his cam- paign ads would be running in a few days. :He was especially con- cerned about getting the word of his candidacy out to absentee vot- ers. Rep. Negron supports the president's policy on Iraq, while he said Mr. Mahoney has been attacking Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld instead of the terrorists. He also claimed to take a strong stand on environmental issues. He said the voters will have to decide between a conservative Republican and a liberal Democ- rat. Rep. Negron said he was "very shocked and angry over allega- tions of Mr. Foley's misconduct. He said he had a son the same age as the congressional pages to whom Mr. Foley allegedly made inappropriate and sexually explic- it comments. When asked how he would run a five-week campaign, Rep. Negron said "With a lot of energy, a lot of compassion and a lot of excitement." Republican leaders around the state are expected to help in Rep. Negron's fundraising. He said the party leadership doesn't want to lose a Republican seat because of Mr. Foley's misconduct.

Submitted photo/Virginia Douglas Mrs. Doris Benoit accepting the Ombudsman of the Year award. Letter to the Editor Glades Power Park in the Sunshine On Sept. 22, 2006, a meeting was held at the Ortona Community Association to discuss the FPL pro- posal to build Glades Power Park, a large coal-burning power plant, within Glades County. Wendell Tay- lor, Glades County Manager and Grover Whidden, FPL spokesper- son, both presented on this topic and then addressed questions posed by the audience. Mr. Taylor introduced this proposal as involv- ing the largest and most important project that had ever come before Glades County. Several people in the audience raised questions about the way in which the Glades County Board of County Commis- sioners had made its decision to support Glades Power Park poten- tially being built in Glades County. Specifically, this item was not placed on the published agenda for a recent meeting of the Glades County Board of County Commis- sioners and was only added as a last-minute amendment to the agenda during the meeting, which precluded the public's participa- tion. And the Glades County com- missioners unanimously voted in, support of the Glades Power Park proposal without the benefit of citi- zens' input. Some people in the audience questioned whether there had been an. prior meetings between Glades Counth commissioners and FPL representatives that had occurred in secret. Mr. Taylor assured the audience that no meet- ings between Glades County and FPL had ever involved more than one commissioner at a time and that the counh 's actions were completely in accord wiLli the Sun- shine La\\, which requires that gov- ernment be conducted openly. Howve er, to%\ard the end of the meeting, I asked very pointedly why the Glades County Board of County Commissioners had not provided the public adequate notice that this issue, described by Mr. Taylor as being of such momentous importance to the county, would be discussed and decided. Interestingly, my question was ignored and there was an attempt to go to the next question without addressing mine. I inter- rupted and demanded that an answer be provided to my ques- tion. I was then simply told that there was no answer. This leads me to consider the Sunshine Law. First, however, I want to state that I am not an attor- ney and do not claim to adequately be able to interpret the. nuances of .this complex law. However, I have served on a number of govern- ment. boards and consequently have received some training on this law. Therefore, I would like to share some statements found in Florida's Government-in-the-Sun- shine Manual (Retrieved, on 9/23.2006 from http:/'myfloridale- gal.com/sun.nsf/manual/A47B8F3 E8F3CCCDF852566F300582C91), as follows: "The Attorney General's Office recommends publication of an agenda, if available, in the notice of the meeting; if an agenda is not available, subject matter summa- tions might be used. However, the courts have held that the Sunshine Law does not mandate that an agency provide notice of each item to be discussed via a published agenda. Such a specific require- ment has been rejected because it could effectively preclude access to meetings by members of the gen- eral public who wish to bring spe- cific issues before a governmental body.... Thus, the Sunshine Law has been interpreted to require notice of meetings, not of the indi- vidual items which may be consid- ered at that meeting. However, other statutes, codes or ordinances may impose such a requirement and agencies subject to those pro- visions must follow them. Accord- ingly, the Sunshine Law does not require boards to consider only those matters on a published agen- da.... Moreover, even though the Sunshine Law does not prohibit a board from adding topics to the agenda of a regularly noticed meet- ing, the Attorney General's Office has advised boards to postpone formal action on any added items that are controversial. "This Manual then goes on to share an opinion by the Attorney General's Office on a similar case (AGO 03-53), as fol- lows:"In the spirit of the Sunshine Law, the city commission should be sensitive to the community's concerns that it be allowed advance notice and, therefore, meaningful participation on con- troversial issues coming before the commission." I do not know whether or not the Glades County Board of County Commissioners might have violat-, ed the Sunshine Law by not putting such a controversial and important item on its meeting's published agenda and thus, disallowing its cit- izens' input. A judge would have to decide that issue if someone want- ed to pursue making a complaint. However, it surely seems to me that the intent, if not the letter, of the Sunshine Law was violated. I believe the decision-making process used by the Glades County commissioners resulted in the pub- lic being very poorly served by its representatives in this extremely important matter. Thankfully, this is just the start- ing point for other opportunities to consider the pros and cons of the Glades Power Park proposal. There will be many hearings and admin- istrative procedures that will allow for the public to carefully scrutinize this proposal, the most stringent being the Florida Department of Environmental Protection process- es that are governed through the Power Plant Siting Act. I hope all Glades County citizens will become thoughtfully involved in this process, as the ultimate approval of Glades Power Park will affect the future of Glades County in profound, and not yet fully under- stood, ways. I want to end by briefly sharing some of my reservations about the Glades Power Park proposal. Bum- ing coal is an extremely 'dirty endeavor and the best that can be expected from advanced technolo- gy is to make it less dirty. Hopefully nobody is naive enough to really believe that there will be absolutely no negative consequences to hav- ing a coal-burning power plant in Glades County, particularly in regard to environmental degrada- tion and adverse public health con- sequences. In addition, it appears that this power plant could literally be one of the largest, if not the largest, coal burning plants in the US and the amount of coal processed relates to the amount of its deleterious impact. On the other hand, there is little doubt that Glades Power Park could provide short-term economic boosts to the county, which are sorely needed. But the long-term economic conse- quences of this proposal are unclear. Remember, Glades Coun- ty's main asset is its pristine beauty, as reflected in natural jewels such. as Fisheating Creek only a few miles from the proposed power plant. I believe the county has a promising future based on its natu- ral assets and this future could be squandered by seeking short-term gain, that pollutes our precious environment and spoils, our long- term quality of life. Simply put, who would want to live or visit, or locate; any business other than a garbage dump or prison, in a county with significant air pollution? This pro- posal is obviously an extremely complex issue deserving careful study and, above all, open debate in which weighing the relative advantages, of potential economic growth against potential environ- mental and public health costs have to be carefully considered. I am not sure whether or not the Glades County Board of County Commissioners made the right decision in supporting the proposal to build Glades Power Park, though I suspect they did not. I do know that. taking this action without properly giving notice to the public and allowing citizens' input was a mistake.

Unless you have the time, space and inclination to grow your own fruits and vegetables, there is always going to be some level of risk with fresh produce. You don't know who handled it before it was in the store, or who might have touched it while it was on display in the store. No stood supply is ever com- pletely safe, but the United States does a good job at main- taining a safe and adequate food supply. There is only so much gov- ernment monitoring can do. Consumers have to take care to protect themselves and their fatnilies A Healthi- er Life with Katrina Elsken For example: Wash your hands before handling any food items Always wash fruits and vegetables before using them. Even if you are going to peel an apple, wash it first. If there is bacteria on the peel, when you cut into the fruit, you may trans- fer some of the bacteria to the fruit. Don't assume fruits and vegetables that come sealed in plastic bags are "clean." Wash before using. If you are concerned about pesticide use, watch the origin labels and find out the pesticide rules for the countries from which the foods are imported. With the exception of bananas, I do not buy produce that was not grown in the United States (and I wash the bananas before peeling). Some other countries still use pesticides that are not allowed in this country. Rather than try to memorize which countries allow which pesti- cides, I just stick to what was grown in this country. Pay attention to food warn- ings on the news, such as the recent recall of fresh spinach. Read labels and pay atten- tion to expiration dates. This is especially important when gro- ceries put items on sale or "buy one, get one free." Sometimes the reason an item is on sale is that it is close to its expiration date. Check the labels before you buy. - If something seems off, don't risk it. If a food items smells "funny," throw it out. Don't take any chances with your family's health. When shopping at roadside stands or U-Pick farms, ask about pesticide use and how the ,eg- etables and fruits were grown. Wash these items before using Just because you picked it sour- self at a U-Pick does not mean no one else ever touched it. Before making any change to your diet or exercise plan, con- sult your doctor This is especial- ly important if you are on any prescription medications. Some drugs interact badly with food that would otherwise be consid- ered "healthy." Access to lower-cost' meeds inches closer WASHINGTON, D.C. A key provision pushed by U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson that would haie expanded seniors' access to cheaper pre- scription drugs has been siignif- candy weakened b\ House-Senate negotiators. The language agreed it- bD a House-Senate conference com- mittee will allov, Americans to buy and carry home Canadian presc option drugs for personal use, but continue to prohibit con. sunmers rorn ordering their pre. scriptions from Canada by mail. "Although the pros ision origi- nalh would hate gipen all Ameri- cans greater access to safe and affordable prescription drug's, tihe diluted version that emerged from conference committee will help fen\ A.'mericans," Sen Nelson said. The original prcov ision offered by Sen Nelson and Sen. David Vit-- ,ter, a Republican from Louisiana -, X% would have brought an end to the. ULI S Customs and Border Protec- uon's controversial practice of cLonfiscatini prescription drugs imrnported Irom Canada for person- al use The legislation received. i-, erwN helming bipartisan support in the Senate when it was added as an amendment to the Home- land Security Appropriations bill in Jul\. Despite being watered-downr in conference committee, Sen.- Nelson said this provision repre- sents a small step in the right. direction. "This could open the door to expanding access to re- importation," he said "We made some progress this year, and I'll keep pushing this issue until we( get it done."

There was a wonderful turnout with over 40 grandpar- ents accepting the invitation to Grandparent's Day. According to Ms. Bass, each year the kindergarten classes study different jobs in and around their community. Deputy Gaeta from the Glades County Sheriff's Department came to talk to the classes about the duties of a deputy. Deputy Gaeta also brought pencils, badges, rulers, and folders for all of the kinder- garten students. Mike Byrnes and Rick Brown of Glades County EMS also paid a visit to kindergarten classes. The two discussed the jobs of para- medic and EMT. Ms. Bass said that the students and teachers appreciated the time that all parties took out of their busy schedules to meet with them. Second grade teacher Lesle Hare is also the director for the after school Safe and SMART Pro- gram. Students participated in Project HOPE's art project. The student's artwork will be on dis- play at the Clewiston Museum, and will be part of a traveling art exhibit throughout the state. The artwork is an avenue for children to express their feelings about their changing lives due to the affects of hurricanes. "This is a very important part of these children's lives due to our ever changing weather, and espe- cially what we went through last year," said Ms. Hare. Ms. Kristi Hingson, K-3 inten- sive reading teacher, said MHES will host a Families Building Bet- ter Readers workshop soon. Fami- lies of second and third graders are invited to attend so they may learn ten simple strategies to use at home so their child will become a better reader. Students are encouraged to attend with their parents, but no child care will be provided. The workshop will be held at the Richie Building on Oct. 9 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. If anyone is interested, they may call 946-0737 and ask to speak with Kristi Hingson or Sheryl Huysman. Submitted pnolo'Barbara Oehlbeck The pine lily in this photo is a true rarity. Pine lilies are not even listed as being double. This extraordinary flower was discovered in the high summer of last year, plainly within sight of a back road trail. Fortunately, a camera was in the truck, an earlier rain had moved on, and the light of sun and sky was faultless. The single, slender stem branched about ten inches from the ground. Let us all admire the native Pine Lily By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to the Glades County Democrat i't is not -- as yet endan- gered, yet it is not easy to find. The striking. flame-colored pine lily of Florida's sprawling savan- nas, acid swamps, open piney woods and flatlands, mostly shows her flowers in high sum- mer and early fall. But this year, at least in Glades County, the leopard lily, a common name she's also known by, has come to the party late, and that without a compan- ion. Here it is with November almost gone and she has just made her brilliant but solitary appearance, and that in a most unlikely location, tucked close beside a large saw palmetto/serenoa repens island Where very little sun penetrates, and where most moisture is greedily absorbed by the pal- mettos. Usually, that is, in this part of Florida, this true lily prefers open sunlight in a locale where there is ample moisture. Howev- er, she does not want her feet to stand in water. "Look at us and love us, but don't touch or try to move us. We choose our own places to live and in our own time." And more frequently than not, there will be two to three in a relatively small space but defi- nitely not in clusters. The pine lily is a bulb plant with narrow scales. The slender, leafy stems have alternate leaves and usually grow 14 to 24 inches tall. The six perianth segments three sepals and three petals are similar and brightly colored, and are, more or less, two and one- half to three inches in length. It is'widely believed that the pine lily is steadlily dwindling in numbers due to widespread draining of its favorite habitats, thus rendering its natural home- sites too dry for its well being. And, according to various reports from some of those in Florida's native plant societies, being bright and noticeable, the pine lily is easily spotted along back and secondary roads, thus is a prime target for efforts to transplant. HIAsc .hool eomineition From all reports of various native plant enthusiasts, this true native lily cannot be transplant- ed. When first dug with a ball of soil, and all roots intact as far as the eye can see, and replanted in a similar spot from which it was dug, it appears to be well and happy. However, when trans- planted it does not live from one season to the next. Being witness to more than a few efforts at transplanting these spectacular lilies, nary a one has survived or "come back" the next year. And so the message seems clear: "Look at us and love us, but don't touch or try to move us. We choose our own places to live and in our own time." Pine Lily, or Lilium catesbaei Walter as is its scientific name, grows sparingly throughout nearly all of the Land of Flowers and to some extent along the coastal plain all the way to the Carolinas.

Bronson has announced that the first phase of the annual LifeSmarts program is now under way in Florida. The online competition will culminate in a battle for the state champi- onship at the Florida State Fair in Tampa on Feb. 19,2007. 'LifeSmarts,' an innovative high school competition conduct- ed across the U.S. tests students on their knowledge of consumer issues, including financial man- agement, consumer rights and responsibilities, health and safety issues, technology and the envi- ronment. The department is the lead agency for consumer protec- tion issues and is the state spon- sor of LifeSmarts, which is enter- ing its' second decade in Florida. LifeSmarts is conducted in a game-show style format, provid- ing teens with a fun and exciting way to learn about important issues. Participants gain meaningful consumer knowledge, access to information, awareness of con- sumer resources and confidence to participate in today's dynamic global marketplace. They also develop teamwork skills, self- esteem, verbal communication skills and leadership abilities. LifeSmarts helps teens become better decision-makers and savvy consumers. There is no cost to participate in the program. Teens will com- pete on line until Jan. 12, 2007, and top-scoring teams will move on to the state competition. The Department will provide expens- es for the winner of the state event to attend and compete in the national competition which is held in different cities each year. The 2007 national competition will be held in Orlando in April. The last time the national LifeS- marts competition was held in Orlando was 2003, a Florida team took home the national title, beat- ing the other finalist with just sec- onds to spare. The National Consumers League, (NCL) a non-profit organ- ization promoting and protecting consumer issues is the national sponsor of the LifeSmarts event. The NCL works in partnership with other non-profit, govern- ment and education groups. News media can find out if any teams from a particular area have made the final cut for the state competition by contacting LifeS- marts state coordinator Gwen Worlds at (850) 410-3702 after Jan. 12, 2007.

"Those prospects are encouraged to look at other properties that might be available as well as the county's business and commerce park," Mr. Taylor said.

Ms. Zeigler said she will begin work at a morning job to help fund the purchases needed, demonstrative of her desire to see the program flourish. This is Ms. Zeigler's creation and she said that parents and chil- dren deserve a break. Sometimes parents are overwhelmed with long hours at work, commuting great distances, and taking care of- infants and elderly parents. After school, some students go home to an empty house and have to wait for parents to return home from work before they can receive the homework help they need.

"All of the issues typically experienced by companies look- ing to site an industrial facility-- zoning, infrastructure, water retention, permitting-will have been addressed or will be addressed as the park is devel-: oped," the EDC director said. "Companies will simply need to arrange for their electric, water and sewer connections and build their facilities." The EDC will work with com- panies to assist them in securing .service, and can provide informa- tion on utility rates, taxes and job training. The EDC director declined to elaborate on negotiations with the manufacturing prospects to whom the county is. talking. Nor- mally the confidentiality provision with Enterprise Florida prohibits PayPal to pay $1.7 million to 28 States TALLAHASSEE Attorney General Charlie Crist announced that 28 states have reached an agreement with PayPal, Inc., resolv- ing concerns about the company's payment systems. The agreement requires the company to provide adequate consumer protection to consumers before they subscribe to the service and whenever they make payments to others using PayPal's system. Consumers have already received $9.2 million in restitution through a previous class action lawsuit. Mr. Crist's office received more than 130 complaints about PayPal- from Florida consumers and launched an investigation in July 2003. The complaints dealt with a variety of issues, including hidden fees for sellers, misrepresentations about the terms and conditions of payment methods, as well as prob- lems with the default bank settings on the account, which resulted in money being drawn directly from a consumer's bank account even if another payment source is pre- ferred. Consumers should be comfort- able that their money is secure and they are treated as customers, not merely sources of revenue, said Attorney General Crist. Companies should go the extra 'Do not call' violators facing lawsuit . TALLAHASSEE Florida Agricul- lure and Consumer Services Com- missioner Charles H. Bronson announced that he has taken legal action against a South Florida tele- marketer for violating Florida's "Do Not Call" law. A lawsuit filed in Palm Beach Count\ Circuit Court alleges that Rhinoshield Inc., of Fort Laud- erdale, made at least 11 calls to Florida residents on the state's "Do Not Call" list beginning last Sep- tember and continuing until May of 2006. S"Consumers who join the pro- gram are entitled to be spared the intrusion of commercial telemar- keting calls, and we're committed to seeing that their privacy is pro- tected," Bronson said. "We hae lit- tie tolerance for companies who flout the law." The legal action seeks an injunc- tion prohibiting the company from making any future calls to residents on the list and fines of up to $ 10,000 for each of the calls it made to pro- hibited phone numbers. Bronson's department has col- lected or obtained judgments of more than $1.5 million against companies that have called resi- homework accomplished before parents get home, then that frees up precious time that can be used for other family% activities. Parents can enroll their chil- dren into the program by filling out an emergency contact steet that also includes the rules and rights listed in the student hand- book from school. Once the stu- dent arrives, the tutor looks at the agenda book which children carry at school to keep organized. This agenda lists the homework for the day. When all of the homework is completed, the children may play with games, arts and crafts, or outside in the play area.

Both companies have submit- ted projected wage number of employees data, which \ill be used to determine what funding might be available for the project. The EDC director, who is also Glades County's enterprise zone coordinator, has provided infor- mation to both prospects and a third who is negotiating to pur- chase another property in Glades County, with information regard- ing enterprise zone tax incentives for which they may be eligible. "It's a very tricky thing, because you don't want to give the public or EDC members the impression that we're not doing anything," Ms. Whirls said. "I can only say, that in my first year as EDC director, we were in serious discussions with one industrial prospect. In the first seven months of this year, we have held "Consumers who, join the program are enti- tled to be spared the intrusion of commercial telemarketing calls, and we're committed to seeing that their priva- cy is protected."

The settlement ensures that Pay- Pal spells out important terms and conditions before a consumer becomes a PayPal member and when members initiate transac- tions.

Archery sea-. son's been going on in most of the state and in this issue, I want to talk about three other seasons about to come in muzzle-load- ing gun, the first phase of dove and the brand new crossbow sea- son. A crossbow season has been established for private lands - created for any hunter who'd like to use a crossbow or continue using a bow. This is not just for disabled hunters. The new season's been insert- ed between archery and muzzle- loading gun in the Central and South hunting zones, lasting five. days Oct. 23-27 and Oct. 9-13, respectively. In the Northwest Zone, it comes in later on .the Monday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) and lasts one week through Dec. 3. Crossbow season doesn't apply to wildlife management areas (WMAs). The most common game to take during crossbow season will be deer and wild hog. Only bucks may be taken, and one antler must be at least five inches long above the hairline. The daily bag limit on antlered deer is two. Wild hogs, considered livestock on pri- vate lands may, with landowner permission, be hunted year- round with no bag or size limits. byTonyYoung It's also legal to shoot gobblers or bearded turkeys during cross- bow season. Only one may be taken per day, and there's a two- bird fall-season limit. But, you can't hunt turkeys in Holmes County during the fall and winter. Crossbows and bows must have a minimum draw weight of 35 pounds and hand-held releas- es on bows are permitted. For hunting deer, hog and turkey, broadheads must have at. least two sharpened edges with a mini- mum width of 7/8 inch. , Legal shooting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to a half- hour after sunset. Except for, turkeys, hunters may take resi- dent game over bait. Some things you can't do dur- ing crossbow season include: hunt deer, hog or turkey with dogs; use explosive or drug- injecting arrows and possess firearms. . Immediately following the close of crossbow season in the Central and South hunting zones. is the beginning of muzzle-load- ing gun season. Season dates run Oct. 28 Nov. 5 and Oct. 14 22, respectively. Muzzle-loading sea- son comes in later in the North- west Zone and runs Nov. 17-19.. The only change to the muz- zle-loading gun season this year is that bows and crossbows are now legal methods of taking game on private lands, along with muzzleloaders. On WMAs noth- ing has changed and only muzzle- loaders may be used. Legal shooting hours are the same for muzzle-loading gun sea- son as crossbow season. And, legal game, including bag limits and prohibited methods for tak- ing game, also are the same as crossbow season. Bag limits and antler/size restrictions for game on WMAs can differ, so check the specifics of the area before you hunt. For hunting deer, muzzleload- ers firing single bullets must be at least .40-caliter. Guns firing two or more balls must be 20-gauge or larger. You may not use muz- zleloaders with self-contained cartridge ammunition capabilities or possess modern firearms dur-- ing muzzle-loading gun season. It's against the law to use bait on WMAs at any time. The first phase of the mourn- ing and w\hite-\\inged dove sea- son begins Oct. 7 and ends Oct. 30 statewide. Shooting hours dur- ing this first phase are noon to sunset, and there's a 12-bird daily bag limit. The only firearm you're allowed to hunt doves with is a shotgun, but you can't use one larger than a 10-gauge. Shotguns must be plugged to a three-shell capacity (magazine and chamber combined). You may hunt doves over an agricultural field, as long as the crop's been planted as part of reg- ular agricultural practices. How- ever, it's against the law to scatter agricultural products over an area for the purpose of baiting. Some things you can't do while dove hunting are: using rifles, pistols or crossbows; shoot- ing from a moving vehicle; or herding or driving doves with a vehicle. In addition to a Florida hunting license, you'll need a $5 crossbow permit to hunt during crossbow season.

Clewiston News GD LADES COUNTY DEMOCRAT TheSun Community Service Through Journalism Voice Counts. Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee 'Thursday, October 5, 2006 D QLAD -s CoUN'ry EMPOCRAT Thursday, October 5, 2006 Tigers romp over Cardinal Newman in district win By Jeff Barwick The Clewiston Tigers got their district competition off to a grand start on Friday night as they traveled to Cardinal New- man and came back with an impressive 49-3 victory. Fresh off their big upset of nationally ranked Glades Central last week, the Tigers rolled behind the powerhouse running of tailback Jamal Hubert and the passing combo of speedy wideout John Melton and quarterback Jared Combass.. The game did not start too positively for the Tigers.. They took the opening kickoff and Combass immediately hit Hubert in the flats and he turned the ball up field and ripped off 39 yards. After two short gains on running plays, Combass threw what appeared to be another flats pass but it wasn't caught and was ruled a lateral. Crusader Conlan Kennedy scooped up the loose ball and ran it 43 yards to the Tiger 22. With their backs against the wall early, the Tiger defense held the Crusaders on downs and Bren- don Gibbons nailed a 40-yard field goal to put the Tigers in a 3- 0 hole. Following a touchback on the kickoff, Jamal Hubert rushed for 5 and 23 yards. On the third play of the drive, Com- bass dropped back and hooked up with Melton for a 52 yard score. Kicker Will Davis convert- ed his first of seven conversions on the night. The game then entered into a pattern that would prevail throughout the contest. The Car- dinal Newman offense simply could not muster an attack against the tough Tiger defense. They were not able to muster only a couple of threatening drives the balance of the game. In the second period, the Tigers second touchdown came on a 9 play, 78-yard drive with Hubert racing for the final 40. A few minutes later, Clewiston was back on the scoreboard when on a third and long Combass found Melton on a deep post pattern. Melton raced right between two Crusader defend- ers and caught the perfect spiral from Combass for a 58 yard score. The Tigers carried a 21-3 lead into the intermission. On their first second half pos- session, the Tigers quickly cov- ered 84 yards in five snaps with Combass getting the final yard on a quarterback sneak. Key plays in the drive were impres- sive 34 and 33-yard runs by Hubert and backup tailback Collin Ricketts, respectively. The defense then held Cardinal New- man and forced a punt from the Crusader 25. Return specialist John Melton pulled in the punt, raced to the Tiger sideline and Submitted photos/Jeff Barwick Jamal Hubert skips over a downed Tiger blocker as he sets h sail for a 34 yard gain. Tiger fullback Carl Whitehead heads up field for a nine yard gain. Tiger kick returned John Melton sets sail up the sideline on a 59 yard touchdown jaunt. then turned straight up the field and raced untouched for the 59 yard score. The last period was all Tigers but many new faces in the game as Coach Larry Antonacci was freely substituting and giving the starters a break. The Tigers picked up their sixth touchdown on a short 38 yard drive after a poor Crusader punt. Backup tail- back Darris Hughes got the final 10 yards as he was dragging half of the Crusader defense along with him. The final score of the evening was scored by Alton Edmond, another backup tail- back, who scored on a one-yard smash. The 20-yard series was setup when Tiger Carl White- ,head scooped,2ifnother short Crusade punt and returned it 16 yards. Yet another backup tail- back, Senior Reggie Gray, had three rushes totaling 19 yards on the drive. On the night, Jamal Hubert piled up 158 yards rushing on 15 attempts to remain one of the top rushing backs in South Flori- da. Hubert's 39-yard pass recep- tion and an 18-yard kickoff return yardage brought him up to 215 yards in total offense for the game. On the night, Jared Combass completed 4 of 8 pass- es for 167 yards, all in the first half. The Tigers improved to 5-0, 1- 0 in the district, while the Cru- saders dropped to 3-2. Tiger Coach Larry Antonacci was pleased with the team's intense effort on the heels of the big win over Glades Central. He said, "We've been telling the guys all week to keep looking forward and stay focused and they really did. Our defense was all over the ball tonight and pretty much. shut them down." The Tiger defense allowed a total of 119 yards offense on 47 snaps. Defensive end Johnny Jones led the charge with 8 tack- les, including three running sacks totaling 11 ardis in losses. The entire Tiger defense was relentless in pursuit and gang tackling, punishing Crusader runners and receivers. Going into this game, Clewis- ton was ranked 17th nationally by the Max Preps Sports website and were ranked third in State Class 2A, behind Chaminade and Jacksonville Bolles. The Tigers will host Bishop Verot at Cane Field next Friday night in a non-district contest.

The grant, provided by DOE's Building Technologies Program within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, will be used to further energy conservation measures throughout Florida. "The Florida Energy Office continues to implement innova- tive projects to promote energy conservation throughout the state," said Secretary Castille. "By securing federal funding, Florida can further its energy ini- tiatives to use less energy and fuel economic growth," said Secretary Castille. With the grant, the FEO will develop the Automated Energy Code Compliance System, a pro- gram proposed by the University of Central Florida's Florida Solar Energy Center. The system is a building standards database that will allow designers and builders to access energy-saving building requirements and submit applica- tions for approval. The system streamlines the authorization process and allows continuous updates to enforcement. "The Automated Energy Code Compliance System will allow Florida to become a leader in the industry, providing a working example of how modern technol- ogy can complement and improve energy conservation," said FEO Director Allan Guyet. "By providing instant access to information and compliance resources, Florida's building industry can more efficiently implement energy conservation efficiency measures." The DOE is providing $6 mil- lion to expand 22 federal-state partnerships to increase energy conservation in residential and commercial buildings. The funds assist in the implementation of training programs, provide tech- nical assistance, further education efforts and promote construction of energy-efficient buildings. Spearheaded by Governor Jeb Bush and passed by the Florida Legislature, the 2006 Florida Ener- gy Act takes the first comprehen- sive step toward a diverse, reliable and secure energy future by reducing regulatory barriers to expedite electric generation capacity and providing rebates, grants and tax incentives to drive the development of alternative fuel technologies. The FEO is the state's primary center for energy policy under Governor Bush. In addition to developing and implementing Florida's energy policy, the Energy Office coordinates all federal energy programs delegated to the state, including energy supply, demand, conservation and allo- cation.

Homemade first aid remedies can be 'earth friendly' Pollution Prevention Week may be over, but that's no reason not to take advantage of these ideas. Some are commercially available, but many cleaners, polishes, insec- ticides and the like can be made at home from readily available and often very inexpensive ingredients. Some allergies that can be traced to chemicals in common household products can be helped with homemade green household products. If you or a member of your household have such aller- gies, check with your health care professional before relying on any information. Although it is not included in MSU's list, it has been said that ammonia (think glass cleaner) will almost stop the pain and itch of fire ant bites. Judge that for yourself. It is unresearched. The following partial list comes from the Michigan State University (MSU) Student Union. Some of them sound really interesting. Insect Bites Bees The pain can be soothed by a thick paste of baking soda and water. Half an onion applied to a bee sting helps stop the pain and swelling. Chiggers To ease the pain and itching of chigger bites, rub with a moist aspirin tablet. General To treat insect bites, rub on apple cider vinegar to relieve the itching. A paste made of baking soda also helps. To prevent insect bites, avoid wearing perfume, bright colors and flowery print clothes or bright jewelry Mosquitoes Soak bites in salt water or apply a paste of salt mixed into lard or cold cream. Ants Trace a line of ants to find out where they are entering the house and men seal it offl. You can also try pouring a barrier of anr of the fol- lowing at the place \%here ants, enter the house cinnamon, cream of tartar, red chili pepper, salt, dried mint or sage, or cucumber peel- ings. Also try that old gift perfume you don't like. Some perfumes may kill or repel ants. For heavy ant infestations, mix a tablespoon of sugar and a table- spoon of borax with 2 tablespoons of water to make a thick syrup. Soak cotton balls in mixture and place the cotton balls on some- thing flat so that ants can get to it. Place it in the middle of the ant infestation. Ants will eat it and take it back to the nest. Slowly but sure- ly, the numbers \\ill diminish. Have patience. Keep well out of reach of children and pets. Attach bands of sticky, adhe- sive materials around base of plants and trees to deter ants, which can carry and colonize aphids. Ants like the sweet secre- tion of aphids and protect them from natural enemies. Border gardens w ith bone meal. Mix 2 tablespoons boric acid, 2 tablespoons sugar and a cup of water. Soak paper towels, place on, dishes, and set out for ants. Keep away from children and pets. Mix 4 ounces of mint jelly with 2 level tablespoons of powdered boric acid. Cut small squares of masking tape and dab mixture on tape. Stick on floors behind cabi- nets and appliances. Take precau- tions for children and pels. Aphids Some soap sprays are effec- tive insecticides. They must be sprayed directly on the insect in order to penetrate its body. Mix a teaspoon of liquid soap in a gallon of %w ater. Try different soaps; some may be more effective than others,. Use aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, earwigs and scales. Crush colonies on plant tips, or prune them olf Introduce ladybugs or lacewings, natural enemies of aphids.r Plant garlic, chives, petunias and nasturtiums to repel aphids, but be aw are that some plants (gar- lic, for instance) may inhibit the growth of certain vegetable plants. Fleas As a, first step, vacuum! Remove the vacuum bag and seal the "catch" in a tightly closed bag. Dispose ol it. Flea preparations come in dif- ferent formulas for use on your pet, in the house, or in the yard. Select products that contain two types of ingredients: low toxic adult flea killers such as pyrethrins plus insect growth regulators (IGRs) to kill the flea eggs, larvae and pupae. Pyrethrins have a boosted effect in combination with a chemical enhancer such as piperonyl butoxide. Read the label for directions on use. Consult your veterinarian before choosing products, since pet tolerance for insecticides varies according to the species, age and skin condition of the pet. Select insecticides for the yard that are time-released for longer effect. To find out how toxic a specif- ic insecticide is call 1-800-858-7378 (National Pesticide Network' or 1- 800-TDA-REGS (TX Dept. of Agri- culture'. Flies *Prevent their development in organic, wastes by keeping kitchen garbage in tightly closed containers. In warm weather, the average garbage pail can attract and allow reproduction of 1,000 + flies a week. Sprinkle dry soap into garbage cans after they have been washed and allowed to dry; it acts as a repellent. Use fly swatters, flypaper strips or fly traps. Place screened enclosures over cabbage plants to protect against the fly that breeds the cab- bage maggot. Plant tansy near your kitchen door or where flies tend to duster. Other fly repellents include oil of clove and mint sprigs. Set a sponge in a saucer and soak it with oil of lavender to repel flies. Shape a piece of paper into a cone and insert it into the neck of a baited jar. Flies can get in but not out. *Apot of basil set on a window sill or table will help reduce the number of flies in a room. Mosquitoes Rub citronella oil on exposed areas or burn citronella candles. Do not eliminate such natural predators as dragonflies or the praying mantis. Other natural repellents are pennyroyal, mint rubbed on the skin or tansy planted near a door. Basil plants also repel mosquitoes. Eliminate pools of stagnant water. &I 'W hen you need a serviceCal a profusion g starting as low as $12.50 per week, per block.

APPMMbli viit a of(lul (ORrInIkobw Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, October 5, 2006 Water managers adopt new budget At a public hearing held on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at its' head- quarters in West Palm Beach, the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) adopted the agency's $1.3 billion budget for fiscal year 2007 (Oct. 1, 2006 Sept. 30, 2007). For the 10th year in a row, the Board also voted to hold mill- age rates (about 70 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value) steady for the 16 counties within the regional agency's boundaries. "The South Florida Water Man- agement District's decision to con- tinue its existing millage rates is in support of significant regional water resource responsibilities with lasting benefits," said Govern- ing Board Chairman Kevin McCar- ty. "From making sure the regional flood control system is in peak operating condition to accelerating the construction of Everglades and Lake Okeechobee restoration proj- ects, to stretching limited water supplies, funding is needed to carry out these and many other - major initiatives that are critically important for Florida's future." The $1.3 billion budget includes more than $400 million in bor- rowed funds that are needed to meet the aggressive schedules of the Acceler8 Everglades restoration construction program. That fast- tracked pace is already paying off as numerous projects are already under way significantly ahead of initial schedules. That means the Everglades ecosystem will start reaping the benefits of restoration projects much sooner than antici- pated. "The District's management of one of the nation's largest public works operations has been a model for all to follow," said Gov. Jeb Bush in a letter to SFWMD's board. "I appreciate your commit- ment, working on behalf of the citi- zens of this state and ensuring ade- quate natural resources for our future. The District plays an integral part in the development of Our state's environmental policy and. should continue to be engaged in the conservation and restoration of our natural resources." Other key budget highlights include an emphasis on alternative water supply development and implementation; funding to cover 35 percent increases in pump sta- tion fuel costs, repairs and upgrades to critical flood control structures and support for Herbert Hoover Dike repairs funding for Lake Okeechobee and Estuary Recovery (LOER) initiatives, including construction of the Fast- Track Projects north of the lake; the establishment of capital construc- tion and hurricane cleanup reserves; the construction of addi- tional water quality improvement projects; and an expansion of water resource partnerships with local governments. El Niio effect may affect your garden ByDan Culbert Extension Horticulture Agent A peek at the calendar will tell that summer left the calendar near- ly two weeks ago, and at the last Sunday of this month, we lose that hour of daylight that was "saved" last spring. It all means that fall is here, and for the gardeners among us, it means that time's a-wastin' to getyour garden growing. First the good news: this year our first-ever County Fair will be a place to show what's growing in Okeechobee's gardens. Our office will be working with the Fair to add a large display of your own home- grown produce at this March 9-18, 2007 event. And now the bad news: Clima- tologists from the Southeast Cli- mate Consortium tell us that El Nifio has returned to the Pacific Ocean. This means we could be in for a cool, wet winter here in Flori- da. Today's column will highlight a few of the weather effects that may impact fall and winter vegetable gardens, El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) According to the National Weather Service, El Nifio has returned. The years 2002-03 saw a weak ENSO event, and the forecast now calls for aweak event this year. However, it's too early to tell if the effects of this weather pattern could be a normal or a strong El Niflo event, such as the ones of 1982-83 and 1997-98. While scientists are not sure why these events occur, El Nifio events are a warming of large areas of the Pacific Ocean. This hot spot changes wind patterns and causes the jet stream to move weather pat- terns across the globe in extraordi- nary ways. The result of ENSO is changes in normal temperature and moisture patterns. The bright side of El Nifio is that it is associated with a less active tropical hurricane season. But this is not all a good thing because the decrease in tropical weather may bring 20 30 percent less rainfall than normal to Florida in the fall. So it's great for Gator and Brahman football, but not for crops and gar- dens. A cool wet winter However, once colder months arrive (Nov. March), the weather patterns change. El Niflo may bring more frequent storms, excessive rainfall, and cooler temperatures Florida can expect 40 60 percent more rainfall than normal in the winter months. And, the increased clouds associated with El Niflo mean cooler than normal tempera- tures during the winter months. While average temperatures are often cooler, El Niflo actually reduces the risk of severe cold out- breaks in Florida and the South- east. The strong subtropical jet stream that is typical of El Nifio acts to "block" cold arctic air masses from our area. So, expect to be chilled to the bone, but not frozen solid when El Niflo comes into play. Planning for wet, cool gardens. Cooler winter temperatures mean those with temperate fruit plants like apples, peaches, and blueberries may see their plants loom earlier. Because these plants flower when they get enough chilling hours, fruit will set sooner. With El Niflo, moist cool conditions bring a greater danger that young fruit may be damaged by fungal diseases. For our vegetable gardeners hoping to exhibit at the Fair, here are somrne things to think about when planning your plantings: Be sure \ou have prepared your plant beds for good drainage. Raised beds would be a good idea, so that vegetable roots will be above any water left standing in the row middles. Choose varieties that are resistant to well known root dis- eases. If you see a cultivar that is resistant or tolerant to soil-born pathogens such as Phytophthora, Pythium or bacterial wilt, that's the one you want. Plant or transplant a bit earlier than is suggested in our Florida Vegetable Gardening Guide, as a lack of warmth and cloudy days mean that vegetables will take a lit- tle longer to reach maturity. This is especially important for the warm- season crops like tomatoes, beans, and sweet potatoes. Vegetable gardening publications available Commercial vegetable growers are advised that Vegetable Produc- tion Handbooks, for Florida 2006- 2007 have finally arrived in our office come by for a copy of call to make other arrangements. These are free, thanks to the support of Bayer CropScience and Vance Pub- lishing. We ask growers to please dispose of previous year's guides, as they contain recommendations that are not longer valid. Home vegetable gardeners, especially those new to growing vegetables in Florida, are urged to get a copy of our UF Florida Veg- etable Gardening Guide. It is also available free at our office, or can be downloaded from personal computers. Aswe progress through the veg-. etable gardening season, I'll update you with other gardening tips to help you conquer El Nifno. If you would be interested in attending a vegetable gardening class here at the Extension office, give me a cal. or send me an e-mail, and we will letyou know when these programs are being held. Nutrient loading ana....lysis reviewed ly sr ie FORT MYERS The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) nutrient loading analysis public workshop originally sched- uled on Thursday, Sept. 28, will now be held on Thursday, Oct. 19. The South Florida Water Man- agement District will present the results from the Caloosahatchee River Estero Watershed nutrient loading analysis at the public work- shop. The public domain Watershed Management Model (WMM) uses a database platform to estimate annual or wet vs. dry seasonal pol- lutant loads. The purpose of the meeting will be to present the WMM develop- ment and calibration, to describe the analysis of current baseline conditions and selected future land use scenarios. Also SFWMD will demonstrate the potential effective- ness of Best Management Practices implementation, permit modifica- tions and other potential hydrolog- ic alterations., The meeting will take place at the SFWMD office located at 2301 McGregor Blvd. in Ft. Myers from 10a.m. until noon. For additional information regarding this public workshop, contact the District's Stormwater Management Division lead hydro- geologist, Clyde Dabbs Jr., at (239) 338-2929, ext. 7759, or cdabbsjr@sfwmd.gov.

It is the one percent doctor that makes a pilot worth his short weight in gold.

What can we do to help our shepherds in their. ministry? What can we do to"help them? What can we do to. honor them for their heart and commitment? Why not. ask God to shower them with an abundance of they need in their personal and profession- al life? (You can begin with love, hope, joy, faith, peace, power, wisdom, vision, and courage!) October is pastor appreci- ation month, and there is no better time to lift our pastors' up in prayer. As spiritual lead- ers of God's people, pastors should always be high on our prayer list. Satan knows that ifl he can strike a shepherd, the sheep will scatter, and Satan loves nothing more than to see an effective spiritual leader get distracted or over- whelmed or thwarted in someway. As a result, pastors need to be prayed for not just in times of crisis or church difficulties - but every day. Pray for God's special anointing and the bold proclamation of the Gospel message in your shep- herd's preaching and teach- ing. Pray also for God's bless- ing in your pastor's personal and spiritual life. Pray for rest and renewal and re ival. Pray for effective study and growth in God's word. Pray for your shepherd's protection from dark and worldly forces. Pray for the effective ministry of God's grace. Pray constantly. Pray intentionally. Pray faith- fully. By choosing to pray for our pastors, we are not only choosing to uplift, support, and protect our shepherds, we are empowering them in their - A question to separate athletes field and saved everyone rd as well as the plane. e doctor I knew got a on out of a war zone he was serving because t a rare snake-bite reme- hand when ' rec- nded. - of the and- lficers bitten was and titude SamuelS. the Thomas on a holiday away from the )se w\ho are among the nding in their fields are es who ask "What would n if...?" and prepare for are exception or the nned-for situation that ever even come up. e ad noted on a billboard that their clients were people "that bought tools they would never use." Maybe not. but should the occasion arise, they would be ready'. There have been many times in my ministry where something will come up and I will remember having learned a little about it somewhere along the way. It is what separates the true doctor from the run-of-the- mill one; the real pilot from the guy who flies the plane, the mechanic from the parts- changer. The New Testament speaks of "going the second mile (Matthew 5:41.)" and doing more than is required as a w.it- ness to our profession of faith. Do more than is required to help the needy; give more than others expect of us, love even those you find unlovable (v.45) and then, we will have an answer to, "What would hap- pen il...?" in our spiritual lives. Ninety-nine percent of the time, w\e are ready to help or ready to share: it's that one percent of the time that we see % hat will be needed and give it before it is even asked for, or we do something before the needy even know they will need our help these are the times that make the difference between the athlete and the champion. We get "busy" and do what we must each day; our labors carry us through the daily routines. Ninety-nine percent of the time it is enough; but then there is that one percent every now and again in out lies or the lives ol those we care about That's the time when the hours spent with scriptur- al reading or, having attended a group to learn more about our faith, or having volun- teered to help out with some- one who needs extra care; that gives us the resources to be where we're really needed and to bring something of eternal value. Some of the greatest spiritu- al leaders in history have been people who dared to ask, "What would happen if...?" and lay the foundations for the ongoing reformation of faith that is our heritage. They did not stop by doing only what they had to do, but went beyond and asked the hard questions. In Ihe search they laid the foundations for the Reforma- tion, or issues of justice, or new %aay's of bringing a better life to people. Peter, the fisherman, cried "Master, w\e have worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets (Luke 5:5)" The catch was more than could be hauled in and Peter \\as changed by going beyond what was expect- ed. He was a true professional: fishing-wise, and spintually too. He dared to think about, "What would happen if...?"

Cooling of oceans may be just a 'speed bump' The average temperature of the water near the top of the Earth's oceans has cooled sig- nificantly since 2003. The new research suggests that global warming trends are not always steady in their effects on ocean temperatures. Although the average temperature of the upper oceans has cooled sig- nificantly since 2003, the decline is a fraction of the total ocean warming seen over the pre% ious 48 years. "This research suggests global warming isn't always steady but happens with occa- sional 'speed bumps'," said Josh W\illis, a co-author of the stud\ at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "This cooling is probably natu- ral climate variability. The oceans today are still warmer than they were during the 1980s, and most scientists expect the oceans will eventu- ally continue to warm in response to human-induced climate change." For the study, John Lyman, at the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle, Wash. and his co- authors estimated the heat content of the upper 2,500 feet of Earth's oceans from 1993 to 2005. This represents about 20 percent of the global ocean's average depth. Researchers found that the average temperature of the upper ocean rose by 0.16 degrees Fahrenheit from 1993 to 2003, and then fell 0.055 degrees Fahrenheit from 2003 1 ; l) :,, i.,I l: lll- L i .nla J SE l)'i4H HilTi 1E', P l.

This cooling is probably natu- ral climate variability. The oceans today are still warmer than they were during the 1980s, and' most scientists expect the oceans will eventually continue to warm in response to human-induced climate change." -Josh Willis, co-author of the study at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. to 2005. The recent decrease is a dip equal to about one-fifth of the heat gained by the ocean between 1955 and 2003. They analyzed data from a broad array of ocean moor- ings, floats and shipboard sen- sors, and supported their results with data from NASAs Jason and Topex/Poseidon satellites. Mr. Lyman said the recent cooling is not unprece- dented. "While global ocean temperatures have generally increased over the past 50 years, there have also been substantial decadal decreas- es," he said. "Other studies have shown that a similar rapid cooling took place from 1980 to 1983. But overall, the long-term trend is warming." Monitoring the heat con- tent of the oceans is vital to understanding how Earth's energy balance is changing. "The capacity of Earth's oceans to store the sun's ener- gy is more than 1,000 times that of Earth's atmosphere," Lyman said. "It's important to measure upper ocean temper- ature, since 84 percent of the heat absorbed by Earth since the mid-1950s has gone toward warming the ocean. Measuring ocean temperature is really measuring the progress of global warming." The NOAA Pacific Marine Envi- ronmental Laboratory is cur- rently developing an ocean observing system to better quantify changes in the ocean to include heat content. The recent, changes in ocean temperature run deep. A small amount of cooling was detected at the ocean's sur- face, consistent with global measurements of sea-surface temperature. The maximum amount of cooling was seen at a depth of about 1,300 feet, but substantial cooling was still observed at 2,500 feet and the cooling appears to extend deeper. Mr. Lyman said the cause of the recent cooling -is not yet clear. Research suggests it may be due to a net loss of.heat from the Earth. "Further work will be necessary to solve this cooling mystery," he said. Another implication of the study is greater uncertainty in estimates of long-term ocean warming rates. "Understanding decadal rises and dips in Earth's ocean temperature is important in predicting Earth's climate," Mr. Lyman said. "Hopefully, the results of our study will help refine the ability of computer models to make these predic- tions." Mr. Willis said the findings have significant implications for global sea-level rise. "Aver- age sea level goes up partly due to warming and thermal expansion of the oceans and partly due to runoff from melt- ing glaciers and ice sheets," Mr. Willis said. "The recent cooling episode suggests that sea level should have actually decreased in the past two years. Despite this, sea level has continued to rise. This may mean that sea level rise has recently shifted from being mostly caused by warming to being dominated by melting. This idea is consis- tent with recent estimates of ice-mass loss in Antarctica and accelerating ice-mass loss on Greenland." The study included researchers from NASA, NOAA and the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research of the University of Hawaii, Manoa Results are published in the journal Geo- physical Research Letters. In 2007 NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Depart- ment, celebrates 200 years of science and service to the nation. Starting with the estab- lishment of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA. The agency is dedicated to enhancing eco- nomic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by pro- viding environmental steward- ship of the nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal part- ners, more than 60 countries and the European Commis- sion to develop a global moni- toring network that is as inte- grated as the planet it observes, predicts and pro- tects.
