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.

Fate of the



Arcade to be



decided Oct. 17


MOORE HAVEN The City
of Moore Haven's Historic Dis-
trict Commission will recon-
vene Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 6:30
p.m. to continue discussion of
the fate of the historic Arcade
Building located at Avenue J
and First Street.
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

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.

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.

Association donated $100 to Ms.

"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

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.

The volunteer staff at the after school program in Lakeport make sure that all students are
fed during the program. Relying solely on donations from the community, the program
encourages residents to continue supporting the project.

Woodall retires



from pharmacy


Engagement


By Glenda Wilson
HENDRY COUNTY -Pharma-
cy business at Hendry Regional
Medical Center will continue as
usual, but employees say, "It will
not be the same after Sept. 27 -
not without Sandy Woodall."
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."

ber meeting for the ARC. Tenta-


tive plans were made to attend

ognizing and honoring Jeff Barwick, (center) for his serv-
ice to the local community. The presentation of "Out-
standing Community Service Award for 2006" was made

Clewiston Inn. "Certainly Clewiston is a better place
because of Jeff's involvement and service in America's
Sweetest Town," stated Commissioner Pittman.



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.

Foley resigns: Republican Party selects new candidate


By Katrina Elsken
INI Florida
Fallout from the scandal involv-
ing inappropriate emails and
instant messages from Congress-
man Mark Foley to teenage Con-
gressional pages continues this
week with questions about how
much Republican Party leaders
knew and when they knew it.
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

County, Okeechobee County, Palm Beach County and St.
Lucie County.


some Republican Party members
knew of potential problems with
Foley's interaction with Congres-
sional Pages year ago. ,
"If you are privy to information
like that, you better let somebody
know," he said.
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.

"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.

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.

Spinach recall frightening for consumers


A recent health scare involv-
ing e coli bacteria found in'bags
of fresh spinach have many con-
sumers wondering just what is
safe to eat.
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."

MHES holds several events school News in Brief


By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN Ms. Shan-
non Bass, kindergarten team
leader, reported that all kinder-
garten classes invited their grand-
parent's to come and eat lunch on
Sept. 8. 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.

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

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.

TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner
Charles H. 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. To find out more

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-

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

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. The agreement also requires
that whenever a PayPal member
gets ready to make a purchase he
or she will be presented with a
dear choice regarding what form
of payment to use. PayPal must
provide clear access to web pages
containinrig important differences
between its' in-house PayPal dis-
pute resolution programs and
chargeback rights granted by feder-
al law for consumers who use elec-
tronic banking, debit cards and
credit cards to make payments and


purchases. Florida's share of the
$1.7 million in settlement funds is
$144,500, which will reimburse
taxpayers for the costs of the inves-
tigation.

ing states are: Alabama, Arizona,

Florida crossbow hunting seasons opens


Football season's in full swing,
and the 2006-07 hunting season's
starting to crank up. 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. A $5 muzzle-loading gun
permit is needed to hunt during
muzzleloader season, and you'll
need a no-cost migratory bird
permit if you're going to hunt:
doves. If you hunt on aWMA, you
must have a management area
permit that costs $26.50.

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

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.

Department of Energy grant promotes conservation


TALLAHASSEE The Depart-
ment's Florida Energy Office
(FEO) has been awarded more
than $220,000 from the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE). 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.

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

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.

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,

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

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-

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-

for the effective ministry of

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

answer to, "What would hap-

Ninety-nine percent of the
time it is enough; but then
there is that one percent every

that gives us the resources to
be where we're really needed

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.

going beyond what was expect-
ed. He was a true professional:
fishing-wise, and spintually too.
He dared to think about, "What

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

"This research suggests global warming isn't

ral climate variability. The oceans today are
still warmer than they were during the 1980s,

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.

You might have a great
pastor who is powerful, mov-
ing, and inspired. You might
have a minister who is gifted
in other areas. It doesn't mat-
ter: If you combine their cur-
rent ministry and preaching
with a support group of peo-
ple praying for eyes to be
opened, hearts to be recep-
tive, and lives to be changed,
great things will happen in
'our church and in your wor-
ship service! Imagine how
much more powerful and
inspiring your pastor's min-
istry and preaching might be
if combined with prayer sup-
port like that!
God works through the
prayers of His people. Put
prayer to work for your pas-
tor! Put it to work today! You
and your church %will reap the
benefits.
