FP&L open house draws residents By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat MOORE HAVEN Glades County residents 'were invited to an open house at the Doyle Conner Building on Monday, Oct. 2. It was hosted by FP&L experts who informed resi- dents about the proposed Glades Power Park. Community members are interested in the 1,600 jobs that the project could generate. Just the same, they are alsp concerned about the health and environmental impact on the sub-tropical landscape. Charts, maps and enlarged photos were on display. Experts were there to answer questions and listen to com- ments. Visitors were escorted past the displays and explana- tions were given on emissions, water usage, transmission power line riciules, construc- tion and traffic. Beverly Emerich, a resident, gathered information from the displays and experts. , "Water is my main concern, and power lines," she said. Power plant turbines and electrical generators will need large volumes of water for a cooling system and steam evaporation. Illustrated posters depicted water sources and usage. Sometimes water will. be used from canals and storm water collection. A consistent water supply will come from a 3,000 foot well that taps Flori- da's aquifer system. Enlarged photos of Glades and Hendry counties had sev- eral proposed routes for trans- mission lines. An environmen- tal consultant pointed out that input from local property own- ers and government will be sought in order to select the best route. Maps of the construction site showed the location off S.R. 78, northwest of Moore Haven and south of Lakeport. The 5,000 acre property begins approximately one mile west of S.R. 78. The main entrance road and secondary road are shown on the map, but more study is needed before traffic routes are chosen. Graphs on air emissions illustrated controls for ele- ments released into the air, including C02 and mercury. Charts showed rising fuels costs and the need for a diverse fuel supply. The FP&L representatives were receptive to.serious ques- tions and promised to corre- spond with residents and pro- vide them with more detailed explanations. By 7:15 P.M., 89 visitors had walked through the open house and gathered information folders, and exchanged business cards. Charles Morningstar is a local resident who toured the open house. He gave an affir- mative nod and said, "I am pleased to see this come to Glades County." \\-ert u]Lc t:b' utw.eiigh-ed by l~l ui el lr rnrc orcm Iiat 'lioconri Ing inti ) out c')unly uand 11 ifbI h- u Tli',i -\ir \- hilly iini'end (,nln'ritrr Lit-li'clii tII is until -, lfiln,-l c.ci;iorj is ii -arto ii i srethalthei c healthtiof ,;rirmu rid ing cate..S s NILI-11 i iii ~ iiiI- As ir iihisrw II, Nlr Tlylorir scon vinced that the plant will provide the county much-needed support fur future economic ventures, and ri ay be just the thing Glades Coun- ty needs to ijumpstart its own de' elopment and ad% ancement.

Currently, it is the only traffic school in the Glades region. Luis Calvo runs the All Traf- fic Schools, which provides a variety of driver training cours- es, for those convicted of mov- ing violations. First time offenders are offered a 4 hour basic class. There is also an 8 hour interme- diate class, and a 12 hour advanced class. If a driver is given a ticket and elects to take a class, then the fine is reduced by 10 per- cent. Other benefits of traffic ticket classes include not hav- ing points show up on your record, and also, insurance pre- miums will not go up. See School-Page 12 By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to the Glades County Democrat GLADES COUNTY Special events are a way of school life at West Glades Elementary. Even before one event is over and done with, another is in the planning for students to look forward to. The next big event is the cele- bration of National Red Ribbon Week, a special week in which students pledge not to take drugs. This is a national effort to emphasize to students of all ages that saying "no to drugs" is the only way to keep from falling into the drug trap. The special effort has been going on all over this country for twenty years and shows no sign of slowing down. During Red Ribbon Week, scheduled to take place Oct. 24 through Oct. 27, students will wear red ribbons as a reminder of their pledge to always avoid drugs. During this time, the school plans pleasure activities for the whole week including different ways in which they are reminded that "drug aware- ness" is for everybody, every day in every week. For instance on Tuesday, the opening day of Red Ribbon Week, students will give drugs "the slip" and will be given red band silicon bracelets. On Wednesday, nationwide, stu- dents will wear red, and accord- ing to school officials, anything red goes! On Thursday students are reminded to "lei" off drugs and will be given leis. The School Advisory Council voted to support the purchase of leis and bracelets for the students to See Ribbon-- Page 12 INI/Nena Bolan Leaning about emergency services As part of the Moore Haven Elementary School's community helpers study program recently, this group of kindergarteners got an up close and personal look at the job of emergency workers in the area. ~~~~~. ,-:., .....-..:2._.: -r ';.'-. .:. ,:t... : Red Ribbon Week at West Glades School ,. .. :: .- 7 ", ." ..... +:5 -% JL-4& JL AL.0- -w Pwff -qljmw -%.w tmp " _/ Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, October 12, 2006 Obituaries Aaron Patrick Baldree Aaron Patrick Baldree, age 77, of Clewiston, passed away on Friday, Sept. 22, 2006 in Clewiston.

The play was written by Matt Chiorini, Matt Thomp- son and Dana Vermette and is directed by Mike Shough. It all starts when Delores (Brittany Marie) an unhappy housewife, and George (Axl Jones), a shoe salesman, meet at Shoe Fantasy, love at first shoe- filltting. The only thing standing in the way is Delores' doting but half-witted husband, Marvin (Michael Gatch), who would never agree to a divorce. There is only one thing to do kill Marvin so they can run off together and live a carefree life of passion and romance in a tropical paradise. The lovers come up with a crazy plan over dinner to poison Marvin. This simple, foolproof murder turns into a hilarious fiasco when Esperanza (Mer- cedes Mitchell), the Spanish- speaking maid, arrives on the wrong day and she, too, falls for George. Delores and George's attempts get funnier and funnier as the lovers try again and again to finish the job only to have Esperanza and Mar- vin unknowingly foil their plans each time resulting in this wacky tale of love, murder, and ....SHOES!!

The Volunteer Florida Foun- dation, which manages the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund and the My Safe Florida Home program for low-income home- owners, chose CREW, Inc. to provide hurricane mitigation grants to homeowners who earn no more than 80 percent of the Annual Median Income (AMI). In (Hendry and Glades coun- ties), 80 percent of the AMI for a family of four is $31,000. Homes to receive mitigation services must be site-built, single-family homes with insurance coverage under $500,000 and have a homestead exemption. CREW, Inc. seeks to serve 100 homeowners, who will receive free home inspections to deter- mine what improvements can be made to strengthen their homes against hurricanes. Fol- lowing the inspections, home- owners will receive assistance to make recommended improve- ments. As part of this non-profit initiative, C.R.E.W., Inc. will leverage donations of labor through volunteers, contractor services, and cash and building materials. Trish Adams, LCSW, CREW Executive Director and Long Term Recovery Coordinator for United Way of Lee, Hendry and Glades County stated that; "We are pleased to be able to help people prepare and fortify their homes against future damage, while still trying to help resi- dents recover from Wilma. Our hope is that by helping people- harden their homes that if another storm like Wilma affects our area, there will not be as much damage." Homeowners who qualify can receive funds to complete mitigation upgrades such as: improving the strength of roof deck attachments, creating a secondary water barrier to pre- vent water intrusion, improving the survivability of roof cover- ing, bracing gable-ended roof framing, reinforcing roof-to- wall connections, upgrading exterior wall openings, such as hurricane shutters, and upgrad- ing exterior doors, such as garage doors. "Our partnership with CREW, Inc. will enable us to leverage resources to better protect another 100 homeowners from hurricanes and the catastrophic losses they inflict," said Tom Gal- lagher, Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida. Gallagher oversees the My Safe Florida Home program. On a statewide basis, 12 non- profit organizations have part- nered with My Safe Florida Home and Volunteer Florida Foundation to serve more than 4,000 low-income Floridians liv- ing in Broward, Escambia, Glades, Hendry, Miami-Dade, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Polk and St. Lucie counties. My Safe Florida Home is matching $8.1 million with the resources of these 12 organizations. "We applaud the volunteers and community organizations, which will join us in our impor- tant work to help low-income residents strengthen their homes," said Liza McFadden, president of the Volunteer Flori- da Foundation, which manages the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund. "We are honored to expand our role to include miti- gation work with the Depart- ment of Financial Services and our non-profit partners in target- ed communities."

Letter to the Editor Trust the voters As Floridians, our lives have been profoundly influenced by citi- zens taking initiative to amend Florida's Constitution. Citizens have limited political terms, man- dated smaller classrooms, banned smok- ing in public places, required universal pre-K, limited property tax increases, required gov- a . ernment in the sunshine, and Bill capped state Sublette taxes. All were issues that Tallahassee politicians refused to address. Those same lobbyists and spe- cial interests which block popular measures in Tallahassee now want to make it harder for the people to petition for changes in the law. They want to require a super- majority vote of 60 percent for the people to amend the Constitution. Their effort, Amendment 3 on this year's ballot, is nothing more than a naked power grab by the special interests which dominate Tallahas- see's legislative halls. The citizen's initiative process is already extremely difficult, but it is fair and the only recourse the peo- ple have when Tallahassee's spe- cial interests block popular issues. I know this from personal experi- ence. I served in the Legislature for eight years. I watched tobacco companies bury bills banning smoking in restaurants and work- places. I saw legislation for smaller classrooms get killed in backroom deals. I know the hostility of most legislators to term limits. I've wit- nessed big business crush efforts to raise the minimum wage. I've seen how many elected representatives dislike having to govern in the sun- shine. I've heard the government arguments against capping home- owner's property taxes. None of these popular initiatives would have become law if left to the Flori- da Legislature. Each took an impas- sioned group of citizens petitioning their cause onto the ballot to get their issue decided by thevoters. Amendment 3's supporters argue that they are simply raising the bar without taking away the people's right to decide. Under their logic, Save Our Homes, Uni- versal Pre-K, and caps on the amount of taxes the Legislature can raise would have never become law, because each passed by a sim- ple majority vote of the people, not by a super-majority vote Amend- ment 3 requires. The very Constitu- tion we live under today passed in 1968 by 55 percent. If the special interests behind Amendment 3 succeed, Florida will be the only state to require a super-majority vote for citizen initiatives. Amendment 3 is nothing more than a thinly veiled insult to the vot- ers of Florida. It sends the message that the majority of Floridians don't know what is best for their state, and that a minority of voters should be allowed to block what the majority wants as law. Floridians have a simple choice on Nov. 7. They can either vote to trust the politicians, lob- byists, and special interests by voting for Amendment 3, or they can vote to trust the people by voting against Amendment 3. I say trust the people. Bill Sublette is a former Republi- can member of the Florida House of Representatives. He is Chairman of No Casinos, Inc. He is co-chair of Trust the Voters (www.trustthevot- ers.org), with former Democratic u.S. Senator Bob Grah Charles Hilton, a Panar ney who is chairman Madison Institute. ouominea pnoto/i Dressed for fun!

Most cit- izens can't spend the time necessary to personally observe their public officials at work, or to determine how well public institutions are carrying out their public mission. But too many newspapers these days act more like "mad dogs" than "watchdogs." We're proud to be different. We try to carry out our "watchdog" role as humble representatives of the public, always maintaining a courteous tone and our reputation for purposeful neutrality. How are we doing?

A new teachers' guide based on DEA's teen anti- drug website www.justthink- twice.com, has been published by DEA and is available to teachers for classroom use. The guide contains lesson plans and recommended activities for middle and high school students and covers a wide array of topics related to the conse- quences of drugs. The curriculum was previewed and vetted by edu- cators who felt that it was a dynamic, hands-on approach which would help teach America's youth about the dangers of drugs. DEA. Administrator Karen Tandy said "Today's teens are bombarded with myriad, and often conflicting, messages about drugs. They need straightforward and objective information on what drugs do to them, their future and society as a whole. Teachers how have a resource to help them provide their students IWice weUsite as UtI uais lor assignments and class activities, teachers will stimulate middle and high school students to really think about the consequences of taking or selling drugs." DEA's award-winning "Just Think ITwice" website was launched in August, 2005 and has garnered praise from students, parents and educators. The teach- ers' guide provides lesson plans based on the eight segments of the website. For each of the segments, the guide includes lesson plans for middle school and more advanced plans for high school. Each mod- ule is comprised of an introduc- tion, a list of materials, teacher preparation requirements, an introductory discussion, suggested activities, concluding discussion, assessment of students' responses to the lesson, extension actiities to expand on concepts learned in the lesson, and quizzes to assess knowledge. Families Changing America: Standing Together Against Sub- expressed support for the teach- ers' guide. Many members of the organization are parents of young people who believed that their substance abuse was not harmful. "We believe that this curriculum will serve as a centerpiece for preparing students for the great challenges that lie ahead. It will give them the tools to make the right choices and avoid the enor- mous risks that our loved ones sadly took. We heartily support this curriculum as now, more than ever, the fourth R, Risk Avoidance, needs to be given equal weight with reading, writing, and arith- metic, "said Linda Surks, Spokesperson for Families Chang- ing America. The eight modules in the guide are: Just Think Twice About Drugs: Overview of the entire web- site. Drug Facts: Students learn the specific effects and risks of differ- ent drugs. the value of laws to protect mem- bers of society. Facts and Fiction: Students question the common myths about drugs by looking at the facts which contradict them. **It Can't Happen to Me: Using vivid examples of the negative con- sequences of drugs, students assess how drugs can affect their future. **Stumble Weed: Students learn about the various ways that marijuana impacts the brain and body and challenges them to question common myths about marijuana. **Hot Topics: Students are pro- vided information on the latest trends and drug-related news. **Got Meth? Using graphic illustrations and straightforward information, students learn about the effects of methamphetamine on the body, brain and society. The teachers' guide is avail- able on DENs website, www.dea.gov. Schools awarded over $5 million in grants ORLANDO Education Commissioner John L.

OMGF-1086 J L Mo' -7* A.... *y , - " i Thursday, October 12, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Lolly Bleu was a squatter near Venus Edited by MaryAnn MorriONI People who remember the Great Depression may recall that to help get the country back to work, the federal government adopted an "activist posture" and sponsored work projects from dam building to tree planting to help provide employment to all manner of workers in the floundering U.S. economy of the 1930s. The Civilian Conservation Corps planted trees where over logging' had stripped the forests and built structures and roads in public parks, like Highlands Ham- mock State Park up in Sebring. Another government sponsored work project was the Federal Writer's Project. The Federal Writer's Project employed over 10,000 people in the course of its existence, among them two writers that we know of in the lake area, Mrs. Robert Eures and Mrs. Texas Morgan. Both wrote from the Venus area of Glades County. Mrs. Morgan inter- viewed a woman named Lolly Bleu on Nov. 28, 1938. Many of the people interviewed for our "Recol- lections" series had :hard times, too. But Lolly Bleu is identified as a Florida "squatter." A squatter is so called because they neither own nor rent the land upon which they live. The interview begins: "Lolly did not meet me at the door when I knocked, but in response to a low, gentle, 'Come in please,' I entered the large front room of the dwelling. She was sit- ting in a log rocking chair of the porch typed, holding upon her lap a child whom she was carefully feeding. She was neat and clean and her hair was smoothly brushed. Her dress was old and faded, but clean. "Lolly said that her family came from Texas to Florida about 18 years ago. Both she and her husband 'Pa' as she called him, Submitted photo/Library of Congress/Marion Post Wolcott This was a hotel, general merchandise and gasoline busi- ness in the town of Venus, perhaps the very store where Lolly Bleu sold her canned goods. Mrs. Bleu was interviewed in November, 1938. The photo was taken some two months later in January, 1939. Recollections A series about Florida's pioneers and history ., A .... -1 ...1 ' were born in Texas down on the Gulf coast. (It says she is 50 years old and her husband 67.)," Mrs. Morgan wrote. "I know I look older for I'm so thin and my hair is grey," Lolly said. "But I've had a hard life and had so many children. I am not yet quite illt, but will be soon. I have two grown sons married and livin' away from home besides these .11 children here. One of my girls, Dee is down on the Lake working' in a caf6. I never thought of tryin' to limit my family. "But I started to tell you about our farmin' in Texas. Both me and Pa were raised on farms, though his Pa had a larger one and a citrus and ornamental nursery. Pa learned the nursery business there and he sure does know it, too. We had a little nursery 'way out here in the woods about two miles away for awhile and we sold some stock, then one night some- body stole all the little trees and we ain't been able to get another started that way since. "I always did love to plant seeds and watch the baby plants come up. And I always liked to make jam and jelly and to can vegetables. I still do a lot of that work and take care of any we have left over here. Just step out here with me. Now did you ever see a prettier lot of canned goods? Just look at those turnips and those little tomatoes in pieseives." she said with pride. The small shed room was lined %with shelves which were tilled \\itl, preserves, jellies, canned fruit and vegetables all sparkling and clear. "I would rather can in glass when I can get the glasses. We never thro%\ a%\va a glass jar of any kind. The food looks so pretty in them and I just love to come out here and look at it often. "I sell some of my canned goods when we need the money for something else, but we use . .A4 INI/Katrina Elsken 'Cattle country' Rural Glades County is still "cattle country" as evidenced by the many pastures through- out the area. Crist announces lawsuit against Alltel TALLAHASSEE Attorney General Charlie Crist has sued one of the nation's largest wire- less companies, alleging that All- tel Communications, Inc., auto- matically enrolled thousands of customers for a free trial of a roadside assistance program without disclosing terms of the program at the time of activation and billing customers without their specific consent. Mr. Crist alleges that Alltel also billed some customers for the Mr. Rescue program during All- tel's advertised free trial period. An investigation that began with consumer complaints in April 2003 revealed that the com- pany pushed its roadside assis- tance program by automatically enrolling every consumer who purchased a cell phone and serv- ice plan. The program was added to service plans by default unless a sales representative removed it at the customers request. Alltel's sales representatives were under pressure to sell additional fea- tures of calling plans in order to meet monthly quotas and gener- ate commissions, so little care was taken to adequately inform customers about what they were purchasing. Many consumers who were automatically enrolled in the free trial found three dollar charges added to their monthly state- ments from that period. Others were not told they had to cancel the program prior to the free trial running out and were billed for months after the trial period ended. More than 520,000 Flori- da consumers were enrolled in Mr. Rescue over the past five years and investigators estimate that Alltel made more than $20 million from the program during that time period. It has not yet been determined what portion of those consumers were signed up improperly. This case is a classic example of stealth charges intended to claim every possible dollar from their customers, said Mr: Crist. This is wrong and will not be tol- erated. The lawsuit alleges that Alltel not only failed to disclose the terms and conditions of the Mr. Rescue program, it also failed to 3 3 BEDROOM INNING ROOM SUITES SUITES - 0 % .._. .....

Mr. Crist encouraged Alltel customers to examine their bills carefully to see if they have been or are now being billed for the service without their knowledge. Consumers who may have been signed up for Mr. Rescue without knowing or authorizing it, who received the feature after reject- ing it or who were charged for Mr. Rescue during the free trial period should contact the Attor- ney General's Office by calling the fraud hotline at 1-888-9-NO- SCAM (1-866-966-7226). The Plantation-based compa- ny is being sued under the Flori- da Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Penalties for viola- tions of the act include fines of $10,000 per violation or $15,000 if the victim is a senior citizen or is disabled.

We thought we could do bet- ter here then in Texas, but we never have made the money that Pa and his Pa made on their nursery there. We like it here, though, and do like livin' this way. We don't know who owns this land. They sure are lucky to own such good garden land I don't know why they don't use it. I've no hand to visit and just don't care to have lots of people running' in and out." It is worthy of note that the pho- tograph that accompanies this arti- cle is also a product of a Federal assistance program during the Depression. Photographers were employed by the Farm Service Administration to document rural life in the United States. most of it. The grocery store likes my cannin' and they will take a lot of it sometimes. I sell my quilts, too but it always makes me feel bad to part with one of them. The girls help me a lot with this work and do it as well as I do. Wait a minute, I'll get my quilts. Now isn't this one pretty? See, it is made of such tiny pieces, but I just can't bear to throw away even the tiny scraps. My daughter Dee says that I could piece a quilt out of string and I 'most believe I could. "I never did exhibit any of them at the State Fair. I have thought of it, but then there might be a lot of people come out here to take up my time about them and so I just didn't do it. I don't want to sell them anyway except when we just need the money so bad. That box o\ er there is filled with quilt tops. I have to wait awhile sometimes before I can finish the quilts, but I keep right on piecing them. "When Pa worked on FERA (Federal Emergency Relief Admin- istration, another New Deal pro- gram) he did a lot of farm work at night by moonlight. If the moon was shinin' bright, then he didn't have to have a lantern, but if it was dark one of the little boys hold the lantern for him. Of course, we all worked the farm, but our real farm is about three miles from here across the grade. Even those little boys there now know how to farm and they can plant corn and other vegetables about as their Pa. We don't make much with out farm, though we usually find a sale. Veg- etables is so cheap here and so rnanr raises them.

Through the partnerships, homeowners will receive free home inspections and assistance to make improve- ments that will strengthen homes against catastrophic loss- es. "Partnering with faith and community based groups to help fortify low income homes in Florida is a mission critical to protecting families and reducing property losses," said Mr. Gal- lagher, who oversees the My Safe Florida Home program. "Through these partnerships, we will be able to leverage resources and help thousands of Floridians before the end of this hurricane season." Through the Volunteer Flori- da Foundation, which adminis- ters the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund, 12 non-profit organiza- tions throughout the state are teaming up with the My Safe Florida Home program to fortify up to 4,000 low-income homes in Broward, Escambia, Glades, Hendry, Miami-Dade, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Polk and St. Lucie counties. My Safe Flori- da Home is matching $8.1 mil- lion with the resources of these 12 organizations. A homeowner can earn no more than 80 per- cent of the Annual Median Income (AMI) to qualify for this assistance. AMI varies by county. Participating homeowners will receive free home inspec- tions to determine what improvements can be made to strengthen their homes against hurricane damage. Following the inspections, homeowners will receive assistance to make recommended improvements. "In our long-term recovery work following the last two hur- ricane seasons, we at the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund have learned the enormous value of partnering with community and faith-based groups, organiza- tions that know their communi- ties and are effective partners in accomplishing important tasks," said Liza McFadden, president of the Volunteer Florida Founda- tion. "We are honored to expand our role to include mitigation work with the Department of Financial Services to ensure Florida's low-income residents get the help they need to strengthen their homes." Funding for the partnership with non-profit organizations is possible because of a $250 mil- lion appropriation by the Florida Legislature during the 2006 Ses- sion to create the Florida Com- prehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program, now referred to as My Safe Florida Home and administered by the Florida Department of Financial Services.

INI/Nena Bolan Luis Calvo, instructor at All Traffic Schools, a new traffic school in Moore Haven, welcomes the community to the school. School Continued From Page 1 Despite the popular belief that driving school is only required if you are ticketed, the school offers classes that can benefit most driv- ers. There are two types of defen- sive driving classes which benefit the safe driver. For adults over age 55, there is a class that will reduce insurance rates by ten percent for up to three years. For drivers ages 18 to 54 who have good driving records, there is a class that will reduce insurance between one and 10 percent. Classes for more serious offenses are offered too. There is a 12 hour course for drivers who have had their license suspended and want it reinstated. Drivers who need a hardship license can also take this course. Sometimes repeat traffic offenders, or drivers who have been in an accident must take court ordered classes such as Traffic Collision Avoidance and Habitual Traffic Offender. New drivers may take a Florida Learner Permit prep course, a practice driver's exam and a drug and alcohol class. The new driver receives a certificate which is pre- sented before taking the official Florida driver's license exam. Mr. Calvo is pleased to offer this service to Glades, Hendry, Okeechobee, western Palm Beach, and southern Highlands counties. Classes are offered in English, Spanish and Creole. He is also an instructor as well as his colleague, Manoucheka Exantus. In addition, driving lessons will be available at the school within six to 12 months. All Florida Traffic Schools is located at 629 Hwy U.S. 27 in Moore Haven. Mr. Calvo and Ms. Exantus can be reached at 946- 3339, or at www.AllFloridaTraffic Schools.org. Online courses are also available. TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri- culture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H Bronson announced that Oct. 8-14, is National Fire Prevention Week a time for citizens to think about fire safety at home, at work and also when enjoying the outdoors. "Florida's wildfire season lasts all year," Commissioner Bronson said. "Wildfires can occur during any month if rainfall is below normal." In 1925,. President Calvin Coolidge declared the second weekin October to be National Fire Prevention Week in remembrance of Americans who died in two trag- ic fire disasters that ironically occurred on the same day Oct. 9, 1871. One was the Great Chicago Fire, which destroyed 17,450 build- ings, left more than 100,000 people homeless and resulted in almost 300 fatalities. The second and less- er known Peshtigo Fire was the most disastrous wildfire in North American history Extreme drought conditions throughout the Midwest at that time along \\ith land clear- ing and careless burning practices resulted in many small wildfiress WASHINGTON, D.C. Penta- gon-sought provision that will crack down on unscrupulous lenders who rip off military bor- rowers will soon become law after receiving approval from House and Senate negotiators. The payday loan measure authored by U.S. Senators Bill Nelson and Jim Talent and included in a broader bill to authorize military spending - emerged from conference com-: mittee and, thus, is expected to easily clear both chambers of Con- gress later. Sen. Talent, a Republican from Missouri, and Sen. Nelson, a Democrat from Florida, crafted the bipartisan provision that changes federal law to better protect service members, including a proposed 36 percent cap on interest rates for loans to service members and their immediate families. Meeting Continued From Page 1 council and Ms. Langdale also rec- ommended measures for avoiding a backup of traffic on U.S. 27. A letter from Lakeport Water Association requested that the city of Moore Haven consider supply- ing water to the Lakeport commu- nity. The council discussed possi- Plan Continued From Page 1 "I will continue to speak for those who have not been able, or those perhaps who are unwilling to speak for themselves in the last 100 years," Mr. Taylor continued. "These people need our help and consideration." which grew into a huge conflagra- tion. Between 1,200 and 2,400 peo- ple died in and around the small community of Peshtigo, Wis., and 1.5 million acres burned through- out northeastern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. These two fire disasters were unnecessary tragedies that changed the way our nation responds to both structural fires and %%ildlires, but perhaps more importantly. prompted a rene\\ed national cam- paign for fire prevention. Mr Bronson urged all Floridians to follow local burning rules and regulations for all htpes of outdoor burning and to never leave a fire unattended. "Citizens can contact the local office of the Florida Division of Forestry or their local fire depart- ment for information about how to burn yard waste safely and legally in their area," Commissioner Bron- sonsaid. Since Jan. 1, 4,30 wildfires have burned 206,859 acres throughout Florida. More than 3,967 threatened structures were sa% ed as a result of action bywildland firefighters. Their provision came shortly before a Pentagon report that found financial naivete and regular paychecks made young enlisted troops perfect targets for a growing industry of lenders who bet that high-interest, short-term loans can- not easily be repaid. The report - required by legislation Sen. Nelson pushed last year stated that these predatory lending practices are currently hurting troop-readiness. "This will help prevent many young men and women from becoming victims of huge interest rates and unmanageable debt," Sen. Nelson said after the provision emerged from conference com- mittee fully intact. Among the addi- tional financial protections Nelson secured during conference com- mittee is language to strengthen borrowers' rights and toughen loan disclosure requirements. ble points of connection to existing water pipes and asked that the association provide more details before it is able to move forward with the item. Waste Management's fees for garbage pickup reportedly went up 100 percent and without an expla- nation for the increase. There is no contract with Waste Management and residents could seek another solution to garbage removal. According, to Mr. Taylor the aver- age job in Glades County pays approximately $21,000 annually, something he feels could be improved with the recruitment of new and diverse jobs to the area. "It is the part of Glades County that I feel compelled to change," the manager said. "And it probably goes without saying but those who work at these jobs are the least heard from."

D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston It was Benjamin Franklin who said, "Fish and visitors both stink after three days." He was known for his wisdom and inventions; bifocals and toves, and other practi- cal things for the household. He could have gotten himself killed with his kite-in-the-lightnihg experi- ment, but apparently God had other things in store for him to do. His reflections on visitors, though, didn't reflect on his having good friends. He was a better judge of fish than of visitors. I suspect he was often in his own orbit; invent- ing and discovering, printing, trav- eling, working out problems that could be solved. Like many great people, when it came to dealing with others, he could have had a difficult time. That's a great contrast to visitors in the Bible. It seems that Mary visited with Elizabeth for three months before the birth of Jesus (Luke 1:56), Paul and Barnabas spent a year visiting Antioch (Acts 11:26), Paul also spent a year and a half at Corinth with, carnival games, free candy, shows, Bible Hero Actors, and more than enough laughter to keep you smiling for days.

In the midst of these messes and the messes we face each day, I would like to suggest some things we mighl do well to forget and some things we would do well to remember.

Most ol the time giudges and revheng': dt-trim"entally allect the holder, ,ini said, "Vengeance is they take our time. They can (and usually do l talk about anything and aren't particularly uncomfortable when there are things they don't understand. I like to think of those children (pets included) who have come into my life as "visitors from God." We certainly don't own them. I do my best to be a good influence, try to understand, to give them space to grow and to set limits when needed, make arrangements for their "stay" with me and consid- er that they will be with me for some time to come. They have an uncanny way of adjusting, fitting into schedules, making their pres- ence known and understanding me-at least well enough to "push my buttons" some of the time. Every now and again, I get a glimpse of something God-like, something holy'in my "visitors." The fleeting sight of God comes when there is that mutual invest- ment in each other of our time, attention, sharing, telling, listening, being with each other. It is the child who teaches the parent how to be a parent and the parent that opens up whole new worlds to the child. Some of the best times I have spent with people have been when there mine, I will repay."

We find ourselves sharing hour after hour about our- selves and what's really on our minds and hearts. That can go on for hours and hours; days and days when there is nothing to interfere and the visits are good ones. I guess that is what went on with Mary and Elizabeth for three months, and with Paul for year. People opened up to each other and with it all came the image of God. Time no longer ruled things, nobody was in a hurry. It was all in seeing and sharing, being oneself and listening to others be them- selves, then seeing the image of God in His creations. To think about it, I communicate with God in that way too. That's why He visit- ed and visits, and why He's wel- come. I try to make those visits two-way exchanges too, in depth and from the heart. Time goes on, and when I work at it; I see that image of God too. "Whenever two or three are gathered...." and I wel- come others so that He is there every time we gather.

Bronson has announced the suc- cessful results of an ongoing bio- logical control program for Tropi- cal Soda Apple (TSA), an invasive plant that has overtaken much of Florida's natural areas and pas- turelands. This program is a coop- erative effort between the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), the United States Department of Agri- culture (USDA), and the Universi- ty of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF- IFAS), and involves rearing and releasing a leaf-eating beetle, as well as evaluating other methods for controlling TSA. Tropical soda apple (TSA), an exotic noxious weed native to Brazil and Argentina, has already caused great economic damage to "I am very encouraged by the success of this bio- control program. TSA has been a serious pest to the cattle industry and Florida's land managers for many years. Finding solutions to pest prob- lems that are environmentally friendly is an important part of the Department's mission." Charles H. Bronson, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Florida where it has spread to over a million acres, and the majority of Florida counties. TSA is a tall, prick- ly plant with white flowers and golf ball size fruit whose mottled skin resembles a watermelon. It dis- places native plants and is found in hammocks, ditches, groves and vegetable fields. It is a serious prob- lem for ranchers because it quickly covers entire pastures, and cows will eat the TSA fruit, but not the plant. Cattle, one of the main vec- tors of TSA, spread the seeds from the fruit through their digestive sys- tems to new areas. "I am very encouraged by the success of this bio-control pro- gram," said Commissioner Bron- son. "TSA has been a serious pest to the cattle industry and Florida's land managers for many years. Finding solutions to pest problems that are environmentally friendly is an important part of the Depart- ment's mission," Bronson added. Since the initial release in 2003 of the South American leaf-feeding beetle, Gratiana boliviana, UF-IFAS and the USDA have maintained facilities in Florida to rear and release the beetle. In September 2005, FDACS, funded by a grant -from the USDA, added to the pro- duction effort by establishing two screen houses at the Ft. Pierce Farmer's Market in southeast Flori- da for rearing and distribution of Gratiana boliviana. The first release from this facility was conducted in May 2006. Since then, over 16,400 beetles have been released in four counties - Hillsborough, Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Martin. These releases were conducted on a variety of TSA-affected properties including ranches, conservation lands and residential areas. Eight weeks after release, many areas have active beetle populations that have moved beyond the initial release sites. The Ft. Pierce operation increases the number of beetles available for release throughout Florida, including the possibility of fulfilling requests from interested individuals to release the insects on their TSA-infected properties. The leaf-feeding beetle, which is host specific to TSA, damages the plant extensively, stops fruit/seed production, and weakens the plant so other diseases can easily infect tropical soda apple. Biological con- trol is a cost effective way to man- age TSA in natural habitats that are not easily accessible by other man- agement methods. The beetle will spread from its original release site, allowing for large coverage areas. Beetles have been found up to 10 miles from their release site. The bio-control program is one tool used in an effort to control TSA. The current primary treat- ment options for controlling TSA include herbicide application and mowing the plants before they produce fruit. Other ongoing research activities include studying additional leaf-eating beetle species, plant viruses that attack TSA, and a bio-herbicide that kills the invasive plant.

Sim Putnam catches a pass enroute to 23 yard touchdown. Clewston Tigers wallop the Bishop Verot By Jeff Barwick The Clewiston Tigers rolled past a rebuilding Bishop Verot team 42-3 in a non-district match up at Clewiston's Cane Field last Friday night. The outcome of the game was never in doubt as the Tigers sported a 28-0 halftime lead. However, the Tigers were clearly not focused on offense and committed too many unforced errors against a weak opponent. Quarterback Jared Combass saw at least four per- fectly thrown passes dropped by open receivers and incurred inter- ceptions A hen Tiger receivers did not react to the ball. The Tigers took the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards on 10 plays, scoring midway in the period on tailback Darris Hughes' 3-yard run. Kicker Will Davis nailed the point after, his first of six on the night: Early in the sec- ond period, Combass hooked for a 52-yard completion with wide- out Omar Smith at the Viking 2 and Hughes scored from there on a smash into the line. The Vikings attempted a pass on a fake punt and turned the ball over to the Tigers at their own 40. After a 14 yard run by tailback Collin Rick- etts, Combass then rifled a 28- yard pass to wideout Jasper Omar Smith pulls in a 52 yard pass from Jarea ;omoass. Hunter on a post pattern for a touchdown wilh 5:44 left on the halftime clock. The Tigers got the ball back on a fumble recovery near midfield with less than a minute left in the half. Linebacker Lance Newton caused the fumble with a bone jarring tackle and defensive end Johnny Jones fell on the ball. Five snaps later, Com- bass fired a bullet to wideout Sim .Putnam over the middle and he raced into the end zone for a 23- yard score. Pulnaim had caught an 18-yard pass to set up the score The Tigers mostly went through the motions for the rest- of the game, freely substituting. They scored with 1:49 left in the third period on a 5 yard run by tailback Reggie Gray. Ricketts had moved the ball into scoring posi- tion with a nifty 33-yard dash. Their final touchdown game with S: 13 left in the game on a 3- yard sweep by Ricketts. The Vikings, whq were out- matched but played hard all night, scored niiddav' in the Ihird period \\hen kicKl~i Butch MouNle nailed a 34-yard field goal. The Tigers countered with another touch- down when reserve tailback Reg- gie Gray skirted the right end for 5 yards. Clewiston's last score came in the final period on a 3-yard sweep by tailback Collin Ricketts. The Tigers played without sen- ior tailback Jamal Hubert who did not dress due to disciplinary rea- sons. Hubert, who prior to this game was on a glide path to eclipse Clewiston's all-time sea- son rushing record, was not really missed as the Tigers amassed 326 yards from the taiilback posiiiorn Ricketts delivered 142 yards rushing and Hughes added 141 on 14 carries each. Reggie Gray also rushed for 43 yards'on five attempts from the tailback position. The Tigeis. advanced to 6-0 (1- 0 in district play) but Coach Larry Antonacci was clearly displeased with the effort. He said, "We played a very sloppy game and had way too many penalties. We've got guys who played as individuals tonight and that's not acceptable. We can't play football like that against a better team and win. We are going to have a busy week in the coming week's prac- tice." The Tiger defense held Vikings quarterback Butch Moore to 98 yards passing, which was consid- erably below his season average of 215 yards per game entering the contest. Moore only complet- ed 8 of 33 passes and was inter- cepted twice, with picks by Sim Putnam and John. Melton. Also, Viking runners were stopped with only 52 yards rushing on 22 tries for the night. Defensive end John- ny Jones. had another good night with 4 solo tackles, a fumble recovery, two blocked passes, and quarterback sack. Defensive end Delvin Hughes and line- backer David Pope also had 4 tackles each and along with Jones were in the Viking quarterback's face all evening. The Tigers will host Pope John Paul this Friday night in a district contest.

Originally eight amend- ments were proposed. Amend- ment #2 (which dealt with term limits) was withdrawn and Amendment 5 (which proposed a nonpartisan board to deter- mine LVoing districts) was taken off the ballot by the Florida Supreme Court. This series of articles on the proposed amend- ments is designed to help our readers better understand them before going to the polls. The following information was provided by VoteSmart Flori- da. \ oteSmartFlorida org is a non-profit, non-partisan organi- zation composed of more than 60 diverse groups including commu- nit organizations, trade associa- tions, chambers of commerce and others. VoteSmartFlorida.org is an affiliate of the Florida Cham- ber of Commerce and is firmly committed to providing Florida voters unbiased, non-partisan factual information on proposed constitutional amendments and the process by w which they get on the ballot PROPOSED AMENDMENT 1: Official Title: State Planning and Budget Process Official Ballot Summary: Pioposing amendments to the State Constitution to limit the' amount of nonrecurring general revenue %which may be appropri- ated for recurring purposes in any fiscal lear to .3 percent ol the total gernetal revenue funds estimated to be available, unless otherwise approved by a three-fifths vote of the Legislature, to establish a Joint Legislative Budget Commis- sion, wx which shall issue long-tange financial outlooks; to provide for limited adjustments in the state budget withI-out the concurrence of the full Legislature, as prove ided by general law; to reduce the number of times trust funds are automatically terminated; to require the preparation and bien- nial revision of a long-range state planning document; and to estab- lish a Government Efficiency Task Force and specify its duties. Amendment Type: Legisla- tive/Joint Resolution, this amend- ment was placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature during the- 2004 Legislative Session. It was required to pass both the Senate and House by a 60% vote to be eli- gible for the ballot. Sponsor: Florida Legislature, (2004 Session) This Amendment was placed on the ballot via the Legislature It was required to pass both the Senate and House b\ a 60 percent vote. Arguments FOR: Today, the Legislative Budget Commission has a varietyy of functions regarding appropria- lions. This amendment, would establish a Joint Budget Commis- sion and would do what has not been done before put both the budget and revenue estimates together in one document. In addition to the annual budget, it- will also require the Commission to create a long-term financial outlook. AGAINST: Current general law, which prescribes require- ments fot each department and agency of state government to submit a planning document and supporting budget request, is adequate and an additional task torce is not needed. What Your Vote Means: YES If approved by voters, Amendment #1 would establish a long-iange budget-planning process, putting both budget and revenue estimates together in one document. It would create a Gov- ernment Efficiency Task Force (appointed eveiy four years by the Governor, Senate President and Speaker of the House) to seek input from the public, exec- utive and judicial branches and create a long-range financial plan. NO If Amendment #1 is not approved by voters, the current laws as set by Section 19 of Article III of the State Constitution will remain in place as originally pro- posed by the Taxation and Bud- get Reform Commission and approved by the voters in 1992. Financial Impact: There is not a direct financial impact on state or local government. Note: The Financial Impact Estimating Conference is not required to adopt and prepare official financial impact state- ments to accompany proposed constitutional amendments which are placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature. AMENDMENT 3 Official Title: Requiring Broad- er Public Support for Constitu- tional Amendments or Revisions Official Ballot Summary: Pro- poses an amendment to Section 5 of Article XI of the State Constitu- tion to require that any proposed amendment to or revision of the State Constitution, whether pro- posed by the Legislature, by ini- tiative, or by any other method, must be approved by at least 60 percent of the voters of the state voting on the measure, rather than by a simple majority. This proposed amendment would not change the current requirement that a proposed constitutional amendment imposing a new state tax or lee be approved by at least 2 3 of the voters of the state voting in the election in which such an amendment is consid- ered. Amendment Type: Legisla- tive Joint Resolution, this amend- ment \\as placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature during the 2005 Legislative Session. It was required to pass both the Senate and House by a 600, v ote to be eli- gible for the ballot.

Farmers offered online direct payment program GAINESVILLE Enrollment for the 21)007 Ditect and Counter- cwclical Payment Program IDCP'I began this week and continues through June I, 2007, announced Kevin L. Kelley, State, FSA Execuli\ e Director in Florida. Farmers are encouraged to sign up for Ihe program through the online DCP sign-up service where they can choose payment options, assign crop shares and sign and submit their contracts from an\ computer with Inter- net access. DCP participants can also ', ie\ and print out submit- ted contract options at any time though lithe online process. "Producers will find the Inter- net-based DCP sign-up service conf enient and very user friend- I." said Mr. Kelley. Agricultural producers can also \ isit any USDA Service Cen- ter ,or their administratively assigned center, to complete their 2007 DCP contract.

' L ----------J USDA will accept late applica- tions through Sept. 30, 2007, with a $100 late fee. While DCP participants must sign DCP con- tracts annually, producers can choose not to participate in the program in any given year. The electronic DCP (or eDCP) service saves producers time, reduces paperwork and" speeds up contract processing at USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices. It is available to all producers who are eligible to participate in DCP and who- obtain eAuthentication accounts. The service has strict security measures to protect participants' private informa- tion. Only authorized federal employees have access to infor- mation producers submit elec- tronically. The electronic service is avail- able by going to: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/we bapp?area=online&subject= Ian ding&topic=dcp on the Internet and clicking on "Access eDCP Service." To access the service, producers must have an active USDA eAuthentication Level 2 account, which requires filling out an online registration form at http- v\\wu.eauth.egov.usda.gov followed by a, visit to the local LUSDA Service Center for identity' verification. LISDA computes DCP pay- ments using base acres and pay- ment yields established for each farm. Direct payments provide no incentive to increase produc- tion of any certain crop, because the payments are not based on producers' current production choices. Producers receive direct payments at rates estab- lished by statute regardless of market prices. For 2007, eligible producers may request to receive direct advance payments based on 22 percent of the direct payment rate for each commodity associ- ated with the farm. USDA will issue DCP direct advance pay- ments beginning Dec. 1,2006. Counter-cyclical payments provide support counter to the cycle of market prices as part of a "safety net" in the event of low crop prices. These payments are only issued if the effective price for a commodity (which takes into account the direct payment rate, market price and loan rate) is below the target price for the commodity. Counter-cyclical payment rates vary depending on market prices. In more than four years since the 2002 Farm Bill authorized DCP, the USDA has issued approximately $30 billion in DCP payments to America's agricultural producers.

It was required to pass both the Senate and House by a 60 percent Vote. Arguments FOR: Florida's Constitution is the easiest to amend in our nation. In recent years, ballot ini- tiatives have become a vehicle for well-financed special interest groups to protect their interests via the state's most sacred docu- ment. By implementing a higher threshold for approval of consti- tutional amendments, it broad- ens consensus because a higher percentage of Florida's electorate will be required to pass the initia- tive. AGAINST: When issues are not passed through the Legisla- ture, the ballot initiative process is critical to ensuring the peoples' voices are still heard. The citizen initiative process remains a vital check on government when, for whatever reasons, the govern- ment refuses to act. Requiring a higher percentage of the elec- torate could diminish an initia- tive's chances of being approved. What Your Vote Means YES If approved by voters, Amendment #3 would increase the number of votes needed to approve ballot initiatives from 50 percent +1 to 60 percent +1 of those voting on the measure. NO If Amendment #3 is not approved by voters, the current requirement of 50 percent +1 approval would remain in place.
