The highlight of the raffle

quill. it's a one-of-a-kind with

original artwork by students,

Standing room only

at county meeting

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN-Approxi-
mately 105 residents of Glades
County attended the county com-
mission meeting last Tuesday
morning. There was standing
room only for the public hearing
on the issue of solid waste dispos-

al.
The hearing for public input
was early in the agenda and last-
ed about one and a half hours.
Foremost under discussion was
Waste Management's 100 per-
cent increase,in garbage removal
fees implemented late this sum-
mer.
Many Buckhead Ridge resi-
dents were on hand to voice sur-
prise at the large increases and

questioned why it had been done
all at once instead of in gradual
increments. The residents said
that they, like many other county
citizens rely on fixed incomes.
Spokesmen from three com-
petitive waste removal compa-
nies were present to publicly
answer questions, explain their
operations and pose their own
questions to county officials.
Florida Recycling, Tri-County
Waste & Recycling, and Waste
Management were the compa-
nies represented.
Richard Pringle, attorney for
the county, gave final comments
on the next step in the process for
selecting one of the respondents.

Diaz-Hetcher (Cruz), both of Clewiston, are
proud to announce their engage-
The family and friends of Wes- ment. Their upcoming wedding
ley R. Hetcher and Brenda Diaz will be held in January, 2007.

PAHOKEE The members of
Xi Beta Tau Chapter of Beta Sigma
Phi met at the home of Amy
Schenck on Oct. 5.
Ms. Francine Hennessy,
administrator for the Glades
Health Care Center Nursing
Home in Pahokee was the guest

overview of both the quality care
given to the patients and the
financial and volunteer needs of
the facility.
To assist with the needs of the
health care center, the members
voted to donate items for the
center's upcoming yard sale on

are $2 each, and may be pur-
chased from any member. The
drawing is set for Dec. 7.
Plans were finalized for the
'Costume Only Party' to be held.
on Oct. 28, at the home of Omai-
da and Dennis Milliron in Loxa-
hatchee.
Halloween 'Secret Sister' gifts

treats, no tricks. As the lucky win-
ner of 'Swaparoo,' Kay Korbly
received a beautiful amber glass
pumpkin.
Members present were, Teryl
Collier, Mirtha Graydon, Kay Kor-
bly, Carol -Law,; Sandy Maynor,
Amy Schenck, Linda Stanley and
Carlene Walker. Those absent
from the meeting were, Frances

Halloween is for animals too, but forego the sweets

BELLE GLADE This year's
tricks could feature things like:
Sit, shake, roll over, or in Hal-
loween fashion, play dead.
While these kinds of Halloween.
tricks could be asked of your six-
year-old neighborhood boy
dressed up like a ninja, these
commands should probably be
reserved just for your pets.
Belle Glade Veterinarian, Doc-
tor Noelle Savedoff has some-
thing special planned for that
certain family member that nor-
mally has to forego the Hal-

loween treats, unlike the holi-
days that follow where Spot and
Garfield revel in turkeN and ham
leftovers.
Bring acostumed pet into Doc
Savvy's Animal Hospital Hal-
loween da\, located at 250 S.E.
First Street, in Belle Glade and
your pet will not leave empty
pawed. Not to worry though,
these treats won't cause your pet
any undo stomach problems
normally associated with Fido
raiding the chocolate bin.
Giving chocolate to your pet is

a definite no-no, says Doc Savvy.
Animals love. chocolate, but
chocolate has Theo bromine,
which can cause neurological
conditions and can lead to
seizures.
But Doc Savvy says that those
special members of the family
shouldn't have to be left out of
the fun.
We have special doggie
cheeseburgers called Barn Burg-
ers, for anyone's pets who come
to visit us on Hallowveen in cos-
tume and maybe some treats for

their owners too, she said.
But the owners have to be in
costume as well, according to
Doc Savvy, who sass. each cos-
tumed pet will be photographed
throughout the day and entered
into an overall Halloween cos-
tume contest. A basket filled with
pet goodies, as well as pro hiding
the pet 's annual \accinations
for free is the grand prize.
Join Doc Sa\vy during regular
business hours on Halloween
and let your other children enjoy
the spirit of this unique holiday.

iKissimmee River restoration progressing

By MaiyAnn Morris I zap.com
INI Florida -ity Links. Individual Voices.
Community Links. Individual Voices.

Restoration of about half of the
Kissimmee River is making
progress. The channelized river is
being restored from a straight
canal back to a meandering river
- that twists and turns back onto
itself over and over again as it
- flows south toward Lake Okee-
;. chobee.,
The work is a joint state/feder-
al partnership between South
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict (SFWMD) and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (COE). The
project involves the removal of
weirs and dams, putting the soil
that was piled off to the side when
the river-canal was dug back. This
fills the canal and the water push-
es back into the original river bed.
"The restoration study actually
began before the channelizing
was fully completed," said Dennis
Duke, Chief, Everglades Restora-
tion Division, U.S. Army Crops of
Engineers. "Even before comple-
tion, we saw that, first; no migra-
tory birds came there. There were
no more marshes for them to rest
in. Then the wading birds left
too."
"The $27 million.portion of the
$578 million total restoration that
is currently being built is sched-
uled to be finished by October
2007," said Chuck Wilburn, engi-
neer for the COE. "The water level
in the Upper Kissimmee Chain of
Lakes has been increased two
feet to reduce the volume of
water in the river during the rainy
season
-"We have seen the migratory
birds returning, even before the
first section was done," said
Joseph Koebel, Jr., environmental
scientist with SFWMD, "and in a
very, very short time, the restored
sections have just the same plants
and wildlife e species that the origi-
nal parts did. W\ilh the restoration
increasing the dissolved oxygen in
the water, the bass and bluegill
have gone from 38 percent to 68
percent of the total fish communi-
ty."
"There are two trucks hauling
dirt from the spoil bank made
when the channel was dug,"
commented Bill Gaf. "Each truck
holds 18 cubic yards. In this sec-

tion, bet-\'een 2.5 and 3 million
cubic yards of dirt will be
moved. \\hat that means, is that
if all those trucks 'were parked
end to end, the line would
stretch 8 30 to 840 miles --
roughlh the distance from Orlan-
do to \\as-irnctoin, D.C." I
Out on the most active area of
construction, massive earth
moving equipment ran back and
forth moving loads of dirt with-
out ceasing.
"It's a mile from the edge of
the old spoil bank we're remov-
ing to the edge of the canal chan-
nel we're filling," said David

Quinn, of Quinn Construction,
general contractor for this sec-
tion. "On a good day, we'll do 400
io:ads."
"The upper Kissimmee \\ill
remain a channel as it is for flood
control, although the lake levels
can go up t\mo feet more. There
are, I think about five large devel-
opments of regional impact in the
planning stages up. there, but my
understanding is that as a condi-
tion of approval, these develop-
mnents \%ill not be allowed to dis-
charge any water into the
Kissimmee River," said Dennis

Roland Martin's receives award

; By Ideybis Gonzalez
Clewiston News
CLEWISTON At the Annual
Clewiston Chamber of Com-
merce Dinner, Roland Martin's
Marina was recognized as Clewis-
ton's Business of the Year.
Since Roland Martin's Marina

owners said they have dedicated
themselves to serving the com-
munity with what they call out-
standing one of a kind customer
satisfaction. Roland Martin's Mari-
na is a family owned and operat-
ed business, providing locals with
the most famous big bass fishing

experience.
In selecting this year's award
recipient, the chamber acknowl-
edged the local business for pro-
viding many amenities to the
community residents and visitors
with fishing guides that, accord-
ing to them, are considered
among the best in the state.
The business also provides
motels, condos, cabins, the Tiki-
Bar, boat rentals and airboat
tours, Florida bass fishing tourna-
ments, and much more.
"Some ofthe reasons why the
board awarded Roland Martin
Marina with the Business of the
Year award are because they

worked so hard to maintain the
tournament on schedule, even
after the major hurricane Wilma,"
said Clewiston Chamber Director
Sean Moore, referring to the fish-
ing tournament that went on
despite setbacks caused by the
hurricane.
Roland Martin's also 'con-
tributes to many local charities
and is always involved in local
community rebuilding efforts, Mr.
Moore said.
"We were very flattered and
surprised," said business owner.
MaryAnn Martin. "It was very nice
to be recognized, we are very
thankful for the award," she said.

Latest news on Corps' efforts on dike

By Col. Paul L. Grosskruger

As the commander of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Jack-
sonville District, I know many
people are interested in the Her-
bert Hoover Dike (HHD). I am
writing to update you on the latest
developments regarding our
work to strengthen the HHD.
An Independent Technical
Review panel has just completed
an evaluation of our project
design. We are now ready to
move forward with a new
approach based on this additional
professional advice, including les-
sons learned from Hurricane Kat-
rina.
First, let me provide some
background. Inhthe late 1990s,
Jacksonville District published
reports that showed certain areas.
of vulnerability in the HHD. By
2000, we had received Congres-
sional approval to proceed with
the design of a project to rehabili-
tate, or reinforce, the HHD. Con-
struction of the first of eight sec-
tions of this project began in
December 2005.
Recent input we received from
variety of expert sources, includ-
ing lessons learned from Hurri-
cane Katrina, brought Jack-

sonville District to convene an
Independent Technical Review
(ITR) panel to further evaluate the
design of the rehabilitation proj-
ect.
Our existing design was devel-
oped well before Hurricane Katri-
na's devastating impact on the
hurricane protection levees in
New Orleans. We believed that
before moving forward, we
should apply the lessons learned
in Katrina's aftermath to ensure
that the HHD would continue to
protect lakeside communities, as
it has for more than 70 years.
The ITR panel included Corps
experts from across the nation, as
well as participants 'from the
South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD). This group
evaluated the HHD rehabilitation
project design for the first section
of the project, Reach IA. to deter-
mine if it was in keeping with
applicable criteria, regulations
and professional standards and
practices.
After the ITR review, a second
level of evaluation was conduct-
ed. In early
September, the District hosted
a meeting of about -10 experts, to
review the ITR findings and to dis-
cuss future actions for strengthen-
ing the HHD. Participants includ-

ed the ITR panel and additional
scientists and engineers from the
SFWMD, URS (a global engineer-
ing design firm), BCI (authors of
the state-sponsored report
released in May) and the Corps.
The new design concept
agreed upon by this group
includes a seepage berm for
decreasing piping and a cut off
wall for increasing: stability. The
design approach will also incor-
porate additional protection fea-
tures, where needed. Looking to
the future, it is important that this
design allows for upgrading, if
and when we determine that to
be necessary.
It is important to note that the
newly-adopted design approach
closely mirrors an alternative that
was developed by the Corps in
2000, but not chosen by the state
and federal partners because it
required additional and costly
acquisition of real estate and may,
ha'e impacted regional ground-
water. That decision was based
on the team's knowledge and
best professional judgment at that
time. Now, in this post-Katrina
environment, factors that previ-
ously shaped our designs and
constrained our decisions have
been put aside by the Corps and
our partners. The project we initi-

OPINION

ated did meet the objectives iden-
tified in the studies of the 1990s.
The new design solution has
been adopted as we have cast
aside significant constraints. The
new project focuses solely on
public safety: and risk reduction
goals.
So where does this put us
today? We're currently working to
expedite the redesign and resume
construction on reinforcement of
Reach IA. With safety as our
highest priority, we will then initi-
ate design and construction in
other areas, beginning with those
that are most in need of repair
arid located on property that we
currently own.
Catastrophic natural disaster,
bring quick and dramatic
changes, particularly in the \va)
we define project goals and evalu
ate, project performance. The
Corps will always remain comn-
mitted to meeting the needs of their
public by developing theyery best
engineering ;solutions to .control
Lake Okeechobee water levels
and to enhance the effectiveness
and safety of the dike. With the
state, other federal agencies and
the public as our partners, we can
and will develop effective solu-
lions that will support a sustain-
able south Florida.

Safety a concern for schools

Students at Moore Haven Elementary work together to 'Build' better reading skills.

MHES helps families build

FBBR? What does that stand
for? Well, if you were one of the
second or third grade families that
attended the workshop on Oct. 9,
in the Richie Bldg. here at MHES,
you would know that it stands for
FAMILIES BUILDING BETTER
READERS. Mrs.Huysman, our K-3

Reading Coach, and Mrs. Hingson,
our Intensive Reading Teacher in
the primary grades, taught the par-
ents and their students 10 ways to
practice reading ellectiell', at
home. Twenty minutes a night of
reading practice, ouLside of home-
work timee, adds up to over 100

hrlui per year of reading practice.
Parents learned tun and practical
%\a\s to practice reading with their
child at home. A big THANK 'OLOU
I-: Mrs Thomas and Ms Maldona-
do for helping make the etent a
great success! The Just Read Flori-
da Ol'lfice sponsors FBBR.

Statement by Education Com-
missioner John L. Winn Regard-
ing School Safety:
"In light of the re-cent tragedies
at schools in Coloradu, Wiscon-
sin and Pennylvanid., I would like
to express my heartfelt condo-
lences to the students, familiki-
and staff of these schools. A inex-
plicable and horrific as thcsr inci-
dents are, we recognize that
teachers, school officials, school
personnel, anjd law enforcement
work tirelessly in the hopes of pre-
venting such tragedies from hap-
pening and respond appropriately
when these senseless acts occur.
The safety and well-being of
our school communities is the
highest priority of the Florida
Department of Education, as well
as local school district officials.
We want schools to be inviting
places, not fortresses, but we all
must be diligent and vigilant
when it comes safeguarding our
students, faculty and school stall
well in advance of any situation.

Florida has long been a leader in
this regard and was one of the first
states to add School Resource,
Officers in schools. We train
School district staff so they can
identify potential hazards or vul-
nerabilities in advance, as well as
plan for appropriate tactical
response strategies. We provide
training to school districts that
link aerial photographs and cam-
pus site floor plans for use by first-
responders in an emergency. For
more than 15 years, Florida law-
makers have appropriated more
than $70 million in funding annu-
ally for school safety. They have
put laws in place to protect stu-
dents from persons %,ith criminal
backgrounds such as the Jessica
Lunsford Act.
We work very closely with
school districts so they will be pre-
pared in a time of crisis. Each
school district in Florida must
have an Emergency Management
Plan in place not only for acts of
violence but natural disasters.

Through training, we help the
school districts develop these
plans and provide consistent sup-
port to ensure no matter the inci-
.dent, our schools are prepared.
These plans focus not only on
keeping everyone safe the
highest priority but also
include strategies to inform par-
ents quickly and accurately about
the situation. An Emergency Man-
agement Plan is not a simple
checklist, but a critical tool that is
constantly updated and revised,
withthe watchful eye of school
officials, law enforcement and
emergency responders.
Even given the efforts at state
and local levels, these three trag-
ic incidents still occurred. Unfor-
tunately, there is no profile of a
school in which such incidents
can't happen. However, the
Florida Department of Educa-
tion, with the assistance of state
and local officials, continues to
strive to protect those in Flori-
da's schools."

Burglaries solved by DNA results

By Eric Kopp
INI Florida
OKEECHOBEE Even
tlioii-,h the Oct. 11 arrest of a
Belle Glade man rivaled DNA
cases seen on the TV mega-hit
"CSI," it took considerably longer
than 60 minutes to solve the case.
In fact, it took over two years.
Nathaniel Lee Jackson, Jr., 22,
was finally arrested Oct. 11 by
Okeechobee County Sheriff's
Office Deputy Sam Thomas on an
Okeechobee County warrant that
charged him with three counts of
burglary of a conveyance, three
counts of thii(d-degr ee grand theft
and three misdemeanor counts
of crmini.Il ui$isi liet $:2t00 orless.
Jackson, who lists his occupa-

tion as a truck driver, was booked
into the Okeechobee Coiily Jail
under a bondof $-17,500.
"He proba --
bly thought he
got away scot-
free," said
OCSO Detec-
tive M.D.
Faulkner. "Out
of millions of
people, we got
lucky and got a
hit two years Nathaniel
latecording Jackson
to Detnctiv'e Faulkner, there were
a series of home and car burgla-
ries in the southwest section of
Okeechobee in 2u0.I. In a March
5, 2004, car burglary a small

amount of blood was found in
the car and collected by use of
swabs.
-'0:; Evidence Technician
Kathleen Watson submitted the
swabs to the Indian River Crime
Lab in Fort Pierce for forensic
biology examination. The swabs
gave positive chemical reactions
indicating the presence of
blood.
The detective went on to say a.
DNA lest was done, and the DNA
profile was entered into the Com-
bined DNA Index System
1C( )D1 ) to search for a match on
a data base.
CODIS, said Detective Faulkn-
er, contains information such
as DNA on convicted crimi-
nals.

A search of the Florida con-
victed oriender DNA database
resulted in a match with a con-
victed offender sample that corre-
sponded to lrakson's.
It was unclear on what
charges Jackson had been previ-
ously convicted.
Detective Faulkner said anoth-
er DNA test will now be done to
confirm the results from the origi-
nal DNA test.
The detective said as far as he
knew, this was the first such
OCSO case that had been solved
by DNA.
"We've never had one," he
said. "This data base of criminal
offenders is going to be a good
tool for law enforcement."

Once deadly feline

plague now curable

COLLEGE. STATION, TX. -
It's been said that cats have nine
lives. Two decades ago, one dis-
ease nearly proved it untrue.
Once referred to as the cat
plague, feline panleukopenia
(FP), a highly contagious illness
that attacks the lymphatic, gas-
trointestinal and nervous sys-
tems of cats, was a feline death
sentence.
According to the American
Veterinary Medical Association,
FP was a leading cause of death
in cats a few years ago, but due
to modern vaccines, it is now an
uncommon disease.
"We saw it more often 10 to
20years ago," says Dr. M.A. Crist,
a veterinarian at the College of
Veterinary Medicine & Biomed-
ical Sciences at Texas A&M Uni-
versity. "We're a lot more aware,
the vaccines are very effectil e
and the cats are in a cleaner
environment, so we don't see it
as often "
Kittens, however, are still at a
higher risk of being infected if
they do not have good maternal
immunity, due -to their rapidly'
developing systems that the dis-
ease attacks
"If we're going to see a higher
frequency of incidents, it's going
to be in kittens that are sick or
have compromised immune sys-
tems," Dr. Crist sa s.
If the illness is so uncommon,
why bring it up now' To empha-
size the importance of preven-
tion, Dr. Crist believes.
"The standard treatment is
preventative medicine with vac-
cinations," Dr. Crist says.
Kittens should receive their
core vaccinations once the\ are
past the age of six weeks, and
these vaccinations include one
for the feline parvovirus that
causes FP. Without this vaccine,
it is fairly eas\ for cats to contract
the disease, especially if they are
kept outdoors or kenneled in an
unsanitary environment.
"In some shelter environ-
nments animals are packed in
closely together, and these
crowded conditions are

unclean," Dr. Crist says..
In addition, if an unvaccinat-
ed cat is infected during preg-
nancy, her kittens will be affect-
ed as well.
The virus will attack the
developing brain of the kittens,
and as they grow and begin to
walk, a lack of balance and coor-
dination will become evident,
giving the animals their nick-
name-"shaker kittens."
Kittens that are infected with
the virus after birth show differ-
ent symptoms.
They become lethargic and
dehydrated, and they have diar-
rhea or 'refuse to eat. "Usually
kittens are very playful. happy,
and run around on the table here
at the clinic, but these little kit-
tens that come in with feline
panleukopenia are very lethar-
gic," Dr. Crist says.
If a pet cat does contract FP, it
is imperative that the animal be
taken to a clinic as soon as possi-
ble. The care given by a veteri-
narian can greatly increase the
feline's chance of survival.
"The disease can be life
threatening to these kittens, but
if we provide supportive care for
them, they are much more likely
to survive it," Dr. Crist says.
Dr. Crist says that, although
mortality is uncommon when a
veterinarian treats FP, cat owners
should always have their pets
vaccinated against the disease.
In fact, she says, it's her best

Country star to be inducted into Hall of Fame

TALLAHASSEE In March
2007, Lawrence Hankins "Hank"
Locklin, legendary country music
artist and Grand Ole Opry star, will
be inducted into the Florida Artists
Hall of Fame. The induction will
take place at the R.A. Gray Building
in Tallahassee during Florida Her-
itage Month.
"It is an honor to recognize Mr.
Locklin for his lifelong contribution
not only to country music, but to
the arts in Florida," said Secretary
of State Sue M. Cobb. "His wide-
spread appeal and outreach efforts
in Florida have added to the state's
cultural vibrancy and world \wide
recognition."
Mr. Locklin was recommended
by the Florida Arts Council for the
Hall of Fame honor from an
impressive slate of finalists. He is
the sole inductee for the 2007 Flori-
da Artists Hall of Fame.
Mr. Hank Locklin, 88, was born
in McLellan, Florida on Feb. 15,

1918. A resident of Florida for 67
years, he is a three time Grammy
finalist whose records have sold
over 15 million
copies world-
wide. He has
over 70 charted
singles with six
that became
#I hits One of
Hank's signa-
ture hits,
"Please Help
Me I'm Falling," Hank
was ranked theLckli
number two Locklin

first 100 years of Billboard MNlaga-
zine. He is credited as a major play-
er in taking country music's popu-
larity to an international scale. As a
songwriter, Hank's songs have
been recorded by over 1000 artists
including Willie Nelson, Dolly Par-
ton, Dwight Yoakam, Charley
Pride, Roy Rogers, and Gene Aulry.

He has been credited as a musical
influence by diverse artists such as
Vince Gill, George Jones, Willie
Nelson, Kennv Rogers, and Merle
Haggard. As an artist.'producer,
Hank started the popularity of the

ings. He has had numerous Bill-
board, Cashbox, and International
awards. He was inducted into the
Grand Ole Opry in 1960 and has
been a member for over 46 years.
Mr Locklin is a humble man
who has never sought public
recognition for his great achieve-
ments. He has done charitable live
performances around Florida that
have been recognized by many
state and local officials. Country\
music legend Loretta Lynn says of
him. "I grew up listening to Hank
Locklin and sang his songs when I
was starting out I even won a tal-
ent show singing, 'Send Me the Pil-

low You Dream On.' There ain't no
doubt about it; Hank Locklin
should be in the Hall of Fame."
Established by the Florida ,
Legislature in 1986, the Florida i

AMBER Alerts Program urges Floridians to subscribe

TALLAHASSEE Attorney
General Charlie Crist announced
that his office is helping bring free
Wireless AMBER Alerts to more
Floridians, making it easier for citi-
zens to assist in efforts to locate
abducted children. Mr. Crist said
the Attorney General's Web site will
now feature a direct link to sign up
for the free wireless service, in a
move designed to raise public
awareness of the Wireless AMBER
Alerts initiative and encourage
Floridians to subscribe to the serv-
ice.
The Attorney General's Office is
joining with The Wireless Founda-
tion, the National Center for Miss-
ing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
and the U.S. Department of Justice
to promote the WirelesstAMBER
Alerts initiative. The AMBER Alert

program was created in 1997 when
Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters
teamed up with local law enforce-
ment to develop an early warning
system to find abducted children.
The program has grown so that
now 90 percent of Americans with
wireless devices may receive local-
ized AMBER Alerts as free text mes-
sages, instantly raising awareness
of recent child abductions and
often producing valuable informa-
tion on the child's whereabouts.
"Every minute a child is missing
is a minute too long," said Attorney
General Crist. "We must take every
action possible to help ensure that
children are safely returned to their
loved ones as quickly as possible.
This program saves lives."
AMBER stands for "America's
Missing: Broadcast Emergency

Response", and was also named
after Amber HageI man, the Texas
girl whose abduction and murder
led to creation ot the alert system.
"It is our hope that by enlisting
the more than 13 million Florida
wireless subscribers in the wirelesss s
AMBER Alerts Initiative, we can
greatly increase the likelihood of
recovering an abducted child dur-
ing this critical time period," said
Steve Largent, president and CEO
of CTLA-The \\ ieless Association
and president of The Wireless
Foundation.
"Wireless technology has given
us the ability to become the
guardian angels of our communi-
ties, and I urge Florida residents
everywhere to sign up today "
"\e can all help keep children
safer by participating in the free

Wireless AMBER Alerts program,"
added Ernie Allen, NCMEC presi-
dent and CEO.
"To date, more than 300 chil-
dren have been successfully recov-
ered as a direct result of an .AMBER
Alert, and we hope to bring even
more children home with the help
of Florida's citizens"
Subscribers can sign up for free
text message alerts through the
Attorney General's home page at
http:. 'wvw.m.yloridalegal.com or
through the Wireless AMBER Alerts
home page at http: wvww.v.ire-
lessamberalerts.org
Attorney Geneial Crist encour-
aged Florid plans to access the site
and subscribe to the program in an
effort to continue keeping Florida's
children safe.

Division of Forestry will begin to use bio-diesel fuel

TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bronson
announced that the Division of
Forestry will begin using bio-diesel
fuel in some of its heavy equipment
and maintenance vehicles, includ-
ing motor graders, tractors, back-
hoes, and loaders.
Bio-diesel fuel is an alternative
fuel that uses a mixture of diesel
and renewable resources, such as
soybeans. The Division of Forestry
will test a mixture containing 20
percent bio-diesel.and 80 percent
regular diesel, also referred to as

B20. Not only are the costs of bio-
diesel fuel the same or slightly less
than regular diesel, the use is also
cleaner for the environment. The
Division of Forestry uses more than
I million gallons of fuel per year,
with diesel usage accounting for 65
percent of that total.
Two of the Division's largest Dis-
tricts, Withlacobchee (Citrus, Her-
nando, Lake, Pasco and Sumter
Counties) and Blackwater r(Escam-
bia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa
Counties) have launched the pro-
gram by installing a specifically-des-
ignated fuel apparatus to accommo-

date the use ofB20 at on-site storage
tanks used to dispense the fuel. It
has not been necessary to make any),
modifications to equipment.
The Bunnell District (Flagler, St.
Johns and Volusia Counties) is
already using B20 fuel from the
Department of Transportation in
Deland. During the first eight
months of this year, the District suc-
cessfulh used 11.300 gallons of B20
It is anticipated that the program
will ultimately be expanded to
include more equipment through-
out the Division's 15 Districts.
.As the architect of Florida's new

"Farm to Fuel"' initiative, Commis-
sioner Bronson is working to
reduce the use of fossil fuel and
help cut Florida and the nation's
dependence on foreign oil.
"We have been working with
our agricultural producers, univer-
sity scientists and businesses with
the capability of constructing pro-
cessing facilities to come together
to make Florida a leader in the pro-
duction of alternative fuels," Com-
rnissioner Bronson said. "It is
important that public agencies do
their part and demonstrate a com-
mitment to the program.".

WEST PALM BEACH In the
last 12 months, more than 9 mil-
lion Americans were victims of
identity theft. According to the Fed-
eral Trade Commission, con-
sumers reported $680 million dol-
lars in losses in 2005 due to fraud;
many victims never file a coni-
plaint. Internet related complaints,
including on-line auctions, foreign
money offers, and business oppor-
tunities have continued to rise, and
email or internet contact was
reported in more than half of all
fraud complaints.
"We lock our car doors when
we go into a store and we store our
valuables in a safe place, but most
consumers don't take the neces-
sary basic steps to protect them-
selves from becoming victims of
fraud," said Jessica Cecere, presi-
dent of Consumer Credit Counsel-
ing Service (CCCS) of Palm Beach
County and the Treasure Coast. "It
is much easier to avoid becoming a
victim of fraud than it is to repair the
damage done by thieves."
One of the most widespread
areas of fraud is identity theft,
where a person uses another's
financial information to apply for
loans, credit cards or leases, and

cial strain. Florida ranked sixth
among states for the number of
identity theft cases reported in
2005. Another well-know scam
includes deception by abusive
lenders who target, homeowners
and can put their homeownership
status in serious danger. CCCS cau-
tions consumers to be award of
payday loan scams and Nigerian
money offer scams that often
sound too good to be true, and are
often facilitated through emails.
Senior consumers are often
vulnerable to fraud. A common
type of insurance fraud involves
staged car accidents. Predators
may be charismatic salespeople
who utilize door-to-door sales tac-
tics to bilk people out of their life
savings. The selling of phony
Medicare drug discount cards has
also been on the rise.
"The key to protecting yourself
is being diligent about knowing
who you share information with,"
said Ms. Cecere. "Don't be swayed
by offers that seem too good tobe
true-they usually are."
CCCS offers some tips to help
consumers resist falling for a scam:

Review your report regularly and

Protect your personal data. Be
careful about who you share

know with whom you are talking.
Refrain from sharing your social

did not initiate the call. Don't
print youi social security number

Get referrals from friends and

often look like legitimate emails

Report any suspicious activity.
Some consumers are embarrassed
that they fell for a scam and don't
report it. If you feel you have been
the victim of a scam, contact the
three credit bureaus: Equifax (800)

your account to protect you if any-
one tries to use your name to get a

police department and also to the
Federal Trade Commission.

Mr. Pringle said that a Request

als from companies, the county
looks at performance standards

'Lolly Bleu' not shy about voicing opinions

Edited by MaryAnn Morris
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 floun-
dering 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 November 28,1938. Many
of the people interviewed for our
"Recollections" series had hard
lim'es, too. But Lolly Bleu is identi-
fied as a Florida "squatter." A
squatter is so called because they
neither own nor rent the land
upon which they live. The inter-
view 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, holdingiupon her lap-
as child whom she was carefully
fee-iiing She'Was neat and clean
and her hair was "'smoothly
brushed. Her dress was old and
faded, but clean.

INI/Library of Congress/Marion Post Wolcott
This photo of Venus's main street was taken in January, 1939, just after Lolly Bleu was inter-
viewed. The photographer, Ms. Wollcott was employed by the Farm Service administration to
photograph rural areas.

"Lolly said that her family came
from Texas to Florida about 18
years ago. Both she and her hus-
band, "Pa" as she called him, were
born in Texas down on the Gulf
coast (It sa' s she is 50 years old
and3 her husband 67.) Lolly had her
opinions about life.
"When talking of city and town
life, Lolly remarked: We like this
live out here. The city is no place
for children. We can manage them.
better out here.
"It isn't easy to get the children
to school from out here. They have
to walk about two miles to the
giadewhere they get thebus, but if
we lived i, lo'.'.n le_'-. might get in
all kinds of mischief and like as not
get run over-by an auto. It isn't so
bad unless it rains. They don't
want to walk to the grade. They

don't mind the little cold we have
here. We do want our children to
be educated then they will be able
to do so much better for them-
selves.
"Do you know they teach
cooking' and sewin' in the school at
the village? My girls learned a lot
there. When they go to town to
high school this winter they can
take a business course and Arlie
can start for training' for a teacher.
School these days is so different
than when I went to school. We
just learned to read and write and
to figure a little and that seemed
about all. But I always did love to..
read when I was a girl and my-
mother Was feal well educated..
She taught school for a year before
she married. I don't have time to
read much now but I guess I might

Pumpkins are packed with nutrition

Fall-brings colorful pumpkins.
While the "pumpkin patch" in
South Florida may be simply a.
decorated pumpkin display
instead of an actual garden, pick-
ing out a pumpkin or two is a tra-
dition in many families.
The word pumpkin comes
from the Greek word for "large
melon." The bright orange fruit is
native to the Americas. Native
Americans roasted pumpkins,
and ate the fruit and the seeds.
They sometimes weaved strips of
dried pumpkin rinds into mats.
Early American colonists cut
off the pumpkin top, removed the
seeds and filled pumpkins with
honey, butter, spices and milk and
baked them in the hot ashes of a
fire. The result was a kind of
sweet pumpkin pudding that
could be served using the pump-
kim shell as a bowl. This is
believed to be the origin of pump-
kin pie.
As indicated by the bright
orange color, pumpkin fruit is a
good source of beta-carotene, a
powerful anti-oxidant.
Many varieties of pumpkins
are grown in the United States,
ranging from miniature pump-
kins used as table decorations to
giant pumpkins weighing more
than 1,000 pounds. The most
commonly grown variety is the
Connecticut Field Pumpkin.
According to the University of
Illinois Extension Service, one
cup of cooked pumpkin contains:
Calories: 49;
Protein: 2 grams;
Carbohydrate: 12 grams;
Dietary Fiber: 3 grams;
Calcium: 37 mg;
Iron: 1.4 mg;
Magnesium: 22 mg;
Potassium: 564 mg;
Zinc: 1 mg;
Selenium: .50 mg;
Vitamin C: 12 mg;
Niacin: 1 mg;
Folate: 21 mcg;
Vitamin A: 2650 IU; and,
Vitamin E: 3 mg.
There are many ways to eat
pumpkin including pumpkin
pie, pumpkin soup and the Flori-
da favorite pumpkin bread.
The following recipe for
Pumpkin Fry Bread came from

with Katrina Elsken

3 tablespoons sugar.
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooked or canned
pumpkin
2 teaspoons baking powder
In a food processor or blender,
combine all of the ingredients and

blend until smooth. Set aside for
30 minutes to 1 hour. Heat a well
greased griddle or skillet, adding
about 1/2 cup of the batter when
hot. Fry as you would a pancake,
turning after bubbles appear
throughout. Sprinkle with sifted
confectioners's sugar.
Before making any change to
your diet or exercise plan, consult
your doctor. This is especially
important if you are on any pre-
scription medications. Some
drugs interact badly with foods
that would otherwise be consid-
ered "healthy." Sources for this

Question: Dear Doc Savvy. My
dog Elsie has been diagnosed
with separation anxiety. My vet-
erinarian has told me about med-
ication for this condition, but
before I try his
recommen-
dation...l was
wondering if
you knew of
anything

Answer:
more natural choices out there, and I

Hey there Dee! There are a lot of
have looked into quite a few.
The only choice that seems
to work well is a product called
D.A.P. This product mimics the

appeasing pheromones
released by lactating female
dogs. In other words, D.A.P.
reminds dogs of what it was like
when they were nursing from
their mother. This is a very com-
forting feeling for dogs, and as a
result, minimizes anxiety. What
is very cool about this product is
that it comes in several forms. It
is available in a spray, a plug in
room dispenser, and a new col-
lar form. All of these are reason-
ably priced, and are available
through your veterinarian.
D.A.P. even works for storm anx-
iety, and travel anxiety too!
Hope that answers your ques-
tion Dee.
Take care, Doc Savvy.

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind

By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
A woman was lamenting to
her diet club that she had
gained weight. She'd made her
family's favorite cake over the
weekend, she reported, and
they'd eaten half of it at dinner.
The next day, she said, she
kept staring at the other half,
until finally she cut a thin slice
for herself. One slice led to
another, and soon the whole
cake was gone. The woman
went on to tell how upset she
was with her lack of willpower,
and how she knew her hus-
band would be disappointed.
Everyone commiserated until
someone asked what her hus-
band said when he found out.
She smiled. "He never found
out. I made another cake and
ate half!"
I don't know about you, but I

can relate to this on a number
of different levels. How often
do we face temptations and fig-
ure a little bit ..
won't matter l i
too much. '
Before we
know it, we '
have Itlbbietl
away at the
whole cake
and then have v
to do some-
thing to try to John
hide our Hick
indulgence. Hicks
Sometimes that's hard to do.
Sometimes we just try to justify
our actions. After all, we all
know that there are no calories
in crumbs.
A number of years ago, a
pastor was asked to be part of a
court designed ethics program
for a number of politicians
caught in a scandal which

involved "stretching the truth"
among other things. To try to
get a clearer picture of what
was needed, this pastor made
appointments with some of the
leading politicians who were
not involved in the scandal.
One of the senior politicians
told the preacher that he was
glad the pastor was involved in
the program. We have too
much lying in our government.
We need to do something. I
hardly ever lie myself.
The pastor thought, Do you
hardly ever take bribes as well?
In our society today, there is
a tendency to compare our-
selves with others. What I'm
doing might not be all that
great, but it's not as bad as
what most people are doing.
Political ads overwhelmingly
bring out the real or imaginary
questionable actions of their
opponents, rather than their

own positive attributes. When
questioned about attack ads,
one response I've heard is,
Everyone is doing it, or Ours are
not as bad as theirs. It brings
back to mind the comment, I
hardly ever lie myself.
Slice by slice, bite by bite,
the cake disappears. What was
a small slice of little conse-
quence becomes a whole cake
of great consequence. Sin
sneaks up and invades our lives
big time. Before we know it, we
find ourselves taking actions to
cover up or justify what we've
done which leads to more sin
and more cover-up.
Like the Scriptures say,
When you sow the wind you
will reap the whirlwind. Those
who sow trouble, reap it. There
are always consequences for
our choices. Let's make sure
we strive to make the good
ones.

Distant vision brings a clear picture: God's view

C ICKAN SVECOPO SONIE

By The Reverend Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph.D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
I've always liked trains. My
brothers and I were not too close
in age to share many things, but
one of the things we shared was
trains. I'd assemble the model
railroad, my next-younger broth-
er would run the trains and the
youngest would blow the whis-
tle or operate an accessory.
Later, when I had a chance to
travel, I'd go out of my way to
take the train where possible. On
one trip, when I needed to get
from Geneva to Paris, I had a
chance to ride on one of the
high-speed trains and I took it.
This train went 380 kilometers-
per-hour; about 230 miles an hour.
That's one fast train! Every-

one had to have a seat; no stand-
ing in the aisles. We covered the
countryside and as I looked out
the windows, there went by a
series of blurs. "Telephone
poles" I thought even though I
couldn't really see them. They
were there, though, and they
carried the wires that powered
the train. They had to be there, I
just couldn't see them clearly at
that speed. Looking off into the
distance, I'd see farms and pas-
tures, houses and cars, that
seemed to poke along the high-
way, and telephone poles. It was
the distant view that let me see
clearly; things up close were
blurs passing by and had no real
form. I went between two major
cities in about two and a half
hours that day; the train just
seemed to rock from one side to

the other and I was impressed
with the smoothness and quiet-
ness of the ride.
There have been other times
when I've raced through things
with my vision on some distant
goal and missed the things that
were near, to '
me while in
the rush. In
our hurrying to "
get some-
where, we
miss what is
around us,
what is nearby.
I never Samuel S.
thought much Thomas
about being a
parent until I became one; or
never thought much about what
ministry might be like and the
privilege it carried while I was
racing to graduate from semi-
nary. Parenting seemed to be a
blur of keeping the kids (me)
from doing what they wanted to
do, or having to eat what they
didn't like.
Seminary was a series of
courses and tests to pass; some-
how seeming to be a hindrance
on the road to ministry and not
tools to be used in a special
vocation. Later, the things that
passed by very quickly took on a
focus of their own. There was a
day when my daughter was sit-
ting next to me as we were driv-
ing home and I looked down at
her. "Take your thumb out of.
your mouth" I told her. "
She looked back at me and
said, "Daddy, if you tell me to
take my thumb out of my mouth,
we're not going to be friends any
more." Instinctively, I told her
"Look, I'm the father and you're
the daughter, I'd like to be
friends but I don't have any
choice about it. Now, takevour,
thumb out of your mouth!" It
came out and I got a dirty look.

She really didn't know about
having straight teeth, germs or
whatever had gotten under her
fingernail at nursery school that
morning. I had the distant view:
it was what gave the blur of the
moment the context that made
the dirty look all worth it. The
distant view was a clear view; I
was entrusted by a special
responsibility too important to
be blackmailed by "friendship."
I've gone back and re-read some
of the textbooks I skimmed
through along the way to min-
istry. I've shared them after hav-
ing been away from them for
awhile. The distance gave me a
new view of their value;' it was
there all of the time but I was too
close to see it.
The Christian faith is about a
man who came and lived a long
time ago. He was beset with
detractors and those who would
use Him to do something for
them; surrounded by listeners
who heard but were not always
ready to follow; ran when He
was in trouble. But He kept His
long view. He could see in the
distance and see clearly, even
when those around Him didn't
have His vision. It made it all
worth it for Him and, later those
who saw Him close-up were
changed. The time He was with.
them passed quickly but it got
Him and us where we needed to
be. The prologue to John's
Gospel (Chapter 1:1ff) sums it
up this way: "The true light that
was coming into the world...He
came to His own home and His
own people received Him not,
but to all who received Him, all
who believed, He gave power to
become the children of
God...and the Word became
flesh....and we have beheld His
glory." Our glory too is in seeing '
those things clearly, clearly with.
a distant vision That's God's
vision.

Bantist Church welcomes pastor Area Church News in Brief

-U-

CLEWISTON The congre-
gation at First Baptist Clewiston
recently celebrated the arrival of
their new pastor, Brian Hamrick
and his family to the area. Brian
is coming from a four-year pas-
torate in Northeastern Virginia,
his home state.
He holds an undergraduate
degree from James Madison
University and a master's degree
from Southwestern Seminary.
Brian and Katherine have
been married 7 years, and have
a two-year old son, Nathan.
Brian hails from Richmond, Va.
and his wife from Newport
News, Virginia.
"We're excited about being
in Clewislon," Pastor Hamrick
said. "We believe in the power
of God to transform lives and
we're excited about seeing that
happen at First Baptist."
He remarked that the people
here have welcomed them will,
open arms.
The congregation extended a
call to Hamrick in late June. The
family arrived to the area in early
September. The new pastor has
said he wants to be rooted in the
area with a long-term pastorate
His first sermon in the pulpit as
pastor was Sept. 17.
Pastor Hamrick summarized
his ministry aims by saying, "A
lot of people have misunder-
standings about God and the
Bible. A lot of people need love
and encouragement. A lot of
people are still in need of salva-
tion from sin. We want to be
personally, and as a church, a
solid presence here by helping
people spiritually by pointing
them to the goodness and grace
of God. We welcome people
from every walk of life to hear
the good news being preached."
What have they already
learned about living in South
Florida? "Push mowers aren't
worth much with the kind of
grass that grows down here.
That and the gecko population is
alive and well."
First Baptist Church meets for
worship on Sundays at 10:55
a.m. and 6 p.m., \\nh a mid-
week service Wednesdays at
6:30 p.m. The church also has

Amendment requires anti-smoking campaign

Part 2 in a series

Editor's no:e: Florida voters
will be asked to decide on six
proposed amendments to the
Florida Constitution in Novem-
ber. Originally, eight amend-
ments were proposed. Amend-
ment #2 (which dealt with term
limits) was' withdrawn and
Amendment #5 (which pro-
posed a nonpartisan board to
determine voting districts) was
ruled unconstitutional by the
Florida Supreme Court. This
series of articles on the pro-
posed amendments is designed
to help our readers better
understand them before going
to the polls.
The following information
was provided by VoteSmart
Florida. VoteSmartFlorida.org is
a non-profit, non-partisan organ-
ization composed of more than
60 diverse groups including
community organizations, trade
associations, chambers of com-
merce and others. VoteSmart-
Florida.org is an affiliate of the
Florida Chamber of Commerce
and is firmly committed to pro-
viding Florida voters unbiased,
non-partisan factual information
on proposed constitutional
amendments and the process b.
which they get on the ballot.
Amendment 4
Official title: Protect People,
Especially Youth, From Addic-
tion, Disease and Other Health
Hazards of Using Tobacco.
Official Ballot Summary: To
protect people, especially youth,
from addiction, disease, and
other health hazards of using
tobacco, the Legislature shall
use some Tobacco Settlement
money annually for a cotmpre-
hensive statewide tobacco edu-
cation and prevention program
using Centers for Disease Con-,
trol best practices. It specifies
some program components,
emphasizing youth, requiring
one-third of total annual funding
for advertising. Annual funding
is 15 percent of 2005 Tobacco
Settlement payments to Florida,
adjusted annually for inflation.
Provides definitions. Effective
immediately.

Top Contributors: $1.5 Mil-
lion American Cancer Society,
Florida Division, $495,000 -
American Heart Association,
$175,000 American Lung Asso-
ciation of Florida.
Arguments:
For: In Florida, nearly 29,000
deaths are attributable to tobac-
co use annually, and the threat
of tobacco is greatest among
youth. Florida receives more
than $360 million annually from
the tobacco settlement, yet only
$1 million is used to educate
Florida's youth about the dan-
gers of tobacco use Factoring in
inflation and increased cost of
advertising, $57 million appears
to be both reasonable and fiscal-
ly responsible.
Against: Everyone agrees kids
should not smoke, However, the
$57 million a year will. be com-
ing out of our state's general rev-
enue budget, which means less
money for schools and roads.
Technically,, this proposed
amendment could be achieved
through the legislature,instead
of the Constitution
What Your Vote Means
YES If approved by voters,
Amendment #4 would require,
that 15 percent ($57 million) of
the 2005 tobacco settlement
payments to Florida would fund
a statewide tobacco education
and prevention program.
No If Amendment #4 is
not approved by voters, Florida
would continue to receive allo-
cations as set by the Legislature
and approved by the Governor.
Current allocations are set at 1
percent of the tobacco settle-
ment money.
Official financial impact state-
ment to appear on the ballot:
This amendment requires
state government to appropriate
approximately $57 million in
2007 for the comprehensive
Statewide Tobacco Education
and Prevention Program. There-
after, this amount will increase
annually with inflation. This
spending is expected to reduce
tobacco consumption. As a
result, some long-term savings
to state and local government
health and insurance programs
are probable, but indeterminate.
Also, minor revenue loss to state
government is probable, but
indeterminate.
, Additional financial effects
based on the financial impact
estimating conference's
research & public workshops:
Education, prevention and
enforcement costs will increase.
The state will be required to
appropriate approximately $57
million from Tobacco Settle-
ment finds in 2007, which will
be adjusted annually for infla-
tion. Because the Tobacco Set-
tlement funds are currently fully
obligated, the requirement to
spend these dollars on the speci-
fied programs will result in
reductions to existing programs
or the replacement of those dol-
lars with $57 million of other
state funds.
Some long-term savings to
state and local government
health and insurance programs
is probable. The Comprehensive
Statewide Tobacco Education
and Prevention Program, is
expected to reduce tobacco con-
sumption. Because of this, state

and local governments that offer
health and insurance programs
will probably experience some
long-term savings. However, the
savings resulting from the pre-
vention program are indetermi-
nate. Many factors besides the
prevention program contribute
to the decline of tobacco use. In
addition, the number of per-
sons, particularly youth, who
will stop using tobacco, for how
long they will stop, or who will
never use tobacco is unknown.-
Minor loss of revenue to the
state is probable, but is indeter-
minate. Revenue to the state
from the Tobacco Settlement
payments and from the Cigarette
and Other Tobacco, Products
Taxes are dependent in part.on
tobacco sales. The statewide
campaign proposed by the con-
stitutional .- amendment is
expected to reduce consump-
tion by some unknown amount.
Many other factors may also
contribute to the decline of
tobacco use, including affected
opinions about tobacco compa-
nies following the multi-state'
settlements, increasing cost of
cigarettes, increasing tax rates
on tobacco products, and the
implementation of smoking reg-
ulations in public places. Conse-
quently, minor loss of revenue is
probable, but the amount attrib-
utable to the prevention pro-
gram cannot be determined.
Amendment 6
Official Title: Increased
Homestead Exemption
Official ballot summary:
Proposing amendment of the
Stale Constitution to increase
the maximum additional home-
stead exemption for low-income
seniors from $25,000 to $50,i00
and to schedule the amendment
to take effect Jan. 1, 2007.
Amendment Type: Legisla-
tive/Joint Resolution, this
amendment was placed on the
ballot by the Florida Legislature
during the 2006 Legislative Ses-
sion. It was required to pass
both the Senate and House by a
60 percent vote to be eligible for
the ballot.
Sponsor: Florida Legislature,
(2006 Session), Rep. Carlos
Lopez-Cantera (R-Miami)
Known proponents:
Llnknow n
Known opponents:
Unknown
Arguments:
For: Low-income seniors*
are vulnerable to sudden
increases in property tax assess-
ments, because many live on
fixed incomes and simply can't
keep pace with increasing prop-
erty taxes. This amendment will
authorize the Legislature to
allow local government to ease
tax burdens on those who are
most affected by higher property
taxes.
Against: Property taxes gen-
erate a major source of revenue
for local government. Reducing
property taxes could financially
devastate counties resulting in
massive tax increases to cover
revenue needs for schools and
other local priorities. Therefore,
reducing property the tax bur-
den on owners could result in a
shift of tax burdens from the
homestead property owner to
other taxpayers.
What Your Vote Means
Yes: If approved by voters,
Amendment #6 would author-
ize the Legislature to allow
counties to increase the maxi-
mum additional homestead
exemption for low-income sen-
iors* from $25,000 to $50,000
effective Jan. 1, 2007. Local
counties have an existing option
of adding an additional $25,000,
therefore, a low-income senior
could receive an exemption
from property taxes as high as

$75,000.
*Low-income seniors are
defined as those 65 years old or
above with a household income
that does not exceed $20,000.
No: If Amendment #6 is not
approved by voters, homestead
exemptions would remain as
currently listed in the Constitu-
tion:
$25,000 homestead exemp-
tion to all owners of "home-
stead" properties
Allows local governments
the option of offering an addi-
tional exemption to low-income
seniors of up to $25,000 (estab-
lished in 1982). Low-income
seniors are defined as those 65.
years old or above with a house-
hold income that does not
exceed $20,000
Financial impact: There is not
a direct financial impact on state
government. II all counties were
to fully implement the increased
exemption and millage rates
remain the same, it could have
an impact of negative $36 mil-
lion to local revenues.
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.
