Sixteen members were in attendance. Since the late '80s, Save Our Creeks, a Glades Count) envi- ronmental organization, has been active in protecting Fisheating Creek and the sur- rounding environs. The president, Ellen Peter- son, opened the meeting to dis- cuss the potential impact of the proposed Florida Power and Light coal-burning plant on Fisheating Creek itself and sur- rounding areas. As proposed, the plant will be more or less five miles from the creek. Board member, Dr. Harris Friednman of Muse told the group that he was neither for nor against the proposed pm er plant simply because of so much uncertainrl regarding mercury, as well as carbon dioxide emissions. "It is clear that global climate change is happening and hui maniti, has a narrow window of oppol unity to impact what appears to be a disastrous future for the earth's climate," Dr. Friedman said. "The predic- tions are that if we do not stop putting out s, much carbon dioxde, the temperature of the earth \vill continue to rise, caus- ing accelatiing melting of gla- Shoddy work: Unlicensed work finds victim OwL *v .0. ...a,- ';.... -.- .. y ,' '. .. : ;* '. .

Last spring, she and her hus- band decided it was time for a new roof. They wanted a metal roof installed because of its durability. A roofer was recommend- ed to Ms. Lashway and she had him come out to her two-story home in Lakeport. She said he told her he had. done thirty roofs in the area and special- ized in metal roofing. The couple had the metal roof installed in June 2006 at a cost of $6,000. While the roof was being installed, there was no one around to check on the quality of work being done; and since ciers that hold huge stores of water and then the sea level will rise at an increasing rate." Dr. Friedman believes the power plant will "una' oidabl N"" add to the problem, a situation he calls "the most pressing cri- sis" facing the eai th today. Dr. John Capece, Save Our Creeks member, voiced his desire to ha' e the power plant built in such a \\av that would enable it to capture the carbon dioxide as future technologies com:, e or line All this, he said, is yet to be explained. On the agenda was an over- all discussion of the Glades Power Park, after which a vote was taken as to whether or not the group would publicly sup- port the project. A motion for Save Our Creeks to oppose the current proposal to build a coal-burn- ing plant south of the mouth of Fisheating Creek was passed b\ the group.

Later, when the rain storms passed through, she saw leaks and stains on the knotty pine ceiling and beams. A helpful neighbor in her community climbed a ladder and took photos of the new installation. The photos revealed that many shortcuts were taken, and mistakes that had been made were not taken care of. Some edges of the metal had been sawed off and now those areas were rusting.

It is a Spanish Fes- tival promoted by Radio Fiesta, a local radio station that servic- es the immediate areas of Glades and Hendry Counties.

I absolute- ly ADORE pumpkins and this time of year...yay! But did you know that besides the glorious beauty of these great big squash (yes, they are a type of winter squash), they are also massively nutritious? You could ostensibly eat the big old pumpkin you bought your kids to use as a decoration or not. The big guys are rather stringy, the smaller sugar pumpkins, the kind used to make pies, are better. But why go to all that trouble? I say forget it what a colossal mess! Life is too short for that kind of gourd surgery. Why not just get 100 percent pumpkin in a can and call it a day? That's easy button easy and it won't bend your budg- et out of place either. What to do with that canned pumpkin, you say? Well, you can make a delicious cream of pump- kin soup, add some pumpkin puree to your beef stew or chili (really it's good, try about V2 cup just mix it right in) or try my absolutely delicious pumpkin bread recipe. How ever you get your pump- kin, just make sure you get it. Pumpkin is chocked full of phy- .' The Dinner Diva by . Leanne k Ely' tonutrients, magnesium, potassi- um and vitamin C.

DEAR GLADES COUNTY VOTERS: Many branches of government have term limits while other elected officials are con- tinually reflected. If things are r iiirii.,. ..oddil,, there's no need to change it, However, when one compares our county with surrounding counties, it is obvious that something is terribly wrong. While there is limited housing growth, our commis- sioners have adopted impact fees of approximately $8,000 per new residence, while misleading the people i, iii is state mandated. Impact fees are NOT mandated by the State of Florida. They are placed in force at the option of the County commission- ers. In Hillsborough County, approximately 30% is impact-free in order to encourage I.-r.,0, ,,h,,,,.[1., ir, ir.. i ; and to date, Highlands County has none and has enjoyed phe- nomenalgrowth, ,0'i .'.. ill, 1 r ri. commercially. The electric power plant proposed in Glades County will locate here because of the central location and NOT because of local political influence. FP&L approached Glades County with the idea, not vice-versa. Glades County seems to lack real vision as well as leadership. However, Mr. Alvin Ward while being a commissioner has improved his own personal net worth to $1.9 million per his public record financial disclosure. This is many times over what it was before holding a commission seat for ten years. Had Glades County expeditiously tried to promote growth in housing, industry and tourism, the county could quite possibly lead instead of follow it's neighboring coun- ties. A regional landfill is not an economic stimulant and that is the only industry that has received substantial consideration and support. Friends, it's truly time for a change on the 2nd district commission seat. Donna Storter Long has stated she will be that commissioner for a change in leadership. We should at least allow her the chance by supporting this change, for "nothing ventured, ,-1 ", gained," then after four years, hold her accountable for what she has prom- ised. But to reelect a 'good old boy' on a 'good old boy' background is just not enough, Charles Klinck, Glades County Taxpayer "I really enjoyed the service the 3rd floor staff provided to my child." 1 patient survey response J We invite you to take a closer look at Glades General Hospital.

Store robbery suspect arrested By Ideybis Gonzalez Clewiston News CLEWISTON Kelty L. Miller, 29 of Clewiston was arrested last week in connection with the robbery of Tropical Mar- ket.

Manatee collisions won't get you a ticket if you're not speeding , The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Service (FWS) said today, boaters who comply with manatee speed zones won't get citations if they strike manatees. Officials said cooler weather will cause manatees to begin their 'annual migration from open water to warm-water springs and power plant dis- charges, leaving the slow-mov- ing sea cows vulnerable to speeding and even slow-moving vessels. Law-abiding boaters who strike a manatee or observe a manatee hit by another vessel can call the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1-888-404-3922 with- out fear of a citation. Boaters should be prepared to provide the incident location, weather conditions, boat specifications and othei relevant information. FWC will attempt to recover, and if possible, rehabilitate the animal. "We want to assure boaters who operate vessels lawfully and responsibly they should not feel reluctant to report accidental collisions with manatees," FWC executive director Ken- Haddad said. "The information we gath- er from reported accidents can help guide manatee conserva- tion efforts in the future." ,In addition, Mr. Haddad said,. prompt response to an accident may increase the chance of suc- cess in attempts to rescue and care for the injured animal and eventually return it to the wild. "People who disregard the law must be held accountable, but w\e understand that people operating their boats responsibly and legally may accidentally hit manatees," FWS regional direc- tor Sam Hamilton said. "We will treat accidents as w hat they are - accidents. We hope boaters will icporl them to us so we have a chance to rescue the animal and a chance to learn more about protecting the species." Collisions with boats are a significant source of injury and mortality in manatees. For more information on the agencies' mnanatee programs, visit MyFWC.com and www.fws.gov/northflorida.

Ilorlda 1Prests Letters to the Editor Thanks for a great season The Glades County Youth Ath- letic Association completed another successful flag football season last Tuesday afternoon. The closing program started with a playoff game between the first and fourth place team versus the second and third place team. The score went back and forth with the Gators/Noles pulling it out in the last quarter After the game players, coaches and parents enjoyed pizza from Joey's with deserts and Pepsi from the U-Save Supermarket. Players were then presented certificates of participa- tion while special recognition went to the most valuable player, hustler and most improved for each team. Footballs were pre- sented as coaches' awards to selected players. Each player of the Knights, the league champi- ons with a record of eight wins and one loss, received a first place trophy from their coach Rayon Campbell. League coordinator, Sonny Hughes, presented Rayon with the first place sponsor trophy that goes to U-Save Supermarket in Moore Haven. The GCYAA would like to express their appre- ciation to the sponsors: Youth Livestock, U-Save Supermarket, American Legion and Everglades Realty. Special recognition goes to Tim Jones for officiating the games and the coaches Rayon Campbell, Keith Moore, Steve Petti, Tommy Hare, James Storey, Joey Palladino, Wayne Moore and Lonnie Sampson for donating their time to supervise and coach the players. Over forty players ages 9-12 participated this season. Continue to support the youth of Glades County and the GCYAA. Sonny Hughes League Coordinator A power plant for Glades County, Why? Special to the Glades County Demrocrat With more residentss asking for information about the possi- ble environmental effects a power plant would have on'the area, residents are more con- cerned about the prospect. The question then becomes, "W\hy a coal burning plant for Glades County?" Glades County Manager Wen- dell Taylor: "The reason for a coal burning plant is because Florida Power and Light needs diversification in their facilities. FP&L is installing a number of natural gas plants and they make perfectly good electrical generat- ing plants. However, natural gas cannot be adequately stored, and natural gas is subject to transportation breakdowns thus causing interruptions in service. Consequently, diversification is a must. "During recent storms, name- ly Katrina and the following storm, there was serious inter- ruption in the flow of natural gas to this area all the way from Florida to Beaumont, Texas." Mr. Taylor continues. "In the recent past and currently,; FPL has built electrical generating plants using natural gas. The Route 80 plant in Lee County, Fort Myers uses natural gas. Recently however, it's been learned that we're near a point of having to rotate blackouts in our area. The Public Service Commission has recognized this problem and has been asking the power company to diversify. And the governor's office that monitors the situation has said we must diversity, that we've become over dependent on nat- ural gas." The County Manager empha- sizes that "Florida Power and Light wants the power park to come to Glades County and the county wants and needs this facility. They (FPL) are planning as much as 20 years down the road and every two years the facility has to be brought on line. The final decision on this plant will be made by the governor's cabi- net." Florida Power and Light is, now planning the installation of other facilities and they will announce by the end of this year the location for a nuclear plant. "Furthermore," Mr. Taylor says, "there has been specula- tion that FPL wanted to use this site not for coal but for nuclear, but the application going to the Public Service Commission is for a clean burning coal plant and nothing else. And to have in case, of emer- gency, to possibly avoid inter- ruptions in service there will be a 60-day supply of coal kept on site." Because of the permitting process all these factors are very regimented as to what has to be done, according to Mr. Taylor. The final recommendations will go to the governor. Mr. Taylor adds, "Florida Power and Light will submit one site to the Public Service Com- mission and that is the site in Glades County. That site will go to the governor's office for a clean burning coal plant. This. is what is being asked for and nothing else. If something else is desired, specifically contrary to anything other than a clean burning coal plant, it is without basis in fact A decision is expected to be made in the spring of 2008, with construction to commence in the summer of 2008. The Glades Power Park facili- ty will be the first of its kind in the United States., "I might add," says Mr. Taylor, "the only thing in life that's con- stant is change some good, some not so good. We need to learn to accept inevitable change. One example: hold up a picture of yourself taken a fe%\ years back and look in a mirror and see the change. There's no way to avoid change but there are ways to make the very best of change that comes about in our lives."

Before Henry Flagler brought his Florida East coast Railroad down to Okeechobee in 1915, the only way to bring supplies or ship peppers, beans and tomatoes to market was by boat, which usual- ly meant steamboat. Smoke boats or wood boats they were called according to historian Lawrence E. Will. These boats chugged up and down Florida's rivers and lakes, carrying building supplies; pro- duce and passengers to and from the towns on the shores, of Lake Okeechobee. Their boilers made steam that powered the big pad- dle wheels on their sterns. Early- on, the boilers were fired with wood brought down to the river or lake shore. "Wood landing" was the name for these fuel stops, along the ways of these boats. Back then, there was no other good way to get from here from there. There were no roads, just tracks in the sand and those weren't much good for traveling, much less hauling freight. Ossie Raulerson, born in Ft. Drum in 1906, remembered it all so well when he was interviewed by Okeechobee News' Twila Valen- tine (for a history series published in the Okeechobee News in the 1980s). "We moved here (to Okee- chobee in 1910) on a steamboat and Taylor Creek over here was just as crooked as could be. The captains on those steamboats had to be pretty careful going in there that they didn't his boat on any of those snags or something. Cap- tain Johnson had three steam- boats, two on the Kissimmee River and one on the Caloosa- hatchee that went to Fort Myers to serve the people over there." Mr. Raulerson also remem- bered that it took three full, long days to travel by land with an ox cart, to Ft. Pierce and back to Okeechobee to pick up merchan- dise for his Uncle Lewis Rauler- son's store. rImagine what the rainyseason meant') According to Mr. Will, Captain Clay Johnson had come from Louisiana to Florida to help Hamilton Disston with his St. Cloud sugar plantation. The 35foopt id -hce-ler. Mamie Lown was ,Capt. John- son's first boat. Then the Cincin- nati lre-named Rose Ada). After the Rose Ada was re-hulled, he shortened her name to Roseada.

The Roseada was the last boat to make the iun down the old Kissimmee River to Basingei after the railroad had come. Before that. Basinget wvas the center of things in Okeechobee Courint.

It was- n't a big boat, but it \\as a fancy passenger boat with a good cook. Last, but not least, w as the big Osceola. Capt. Johnson and his boats moved all the materials for Dis- ston's sugar mill in St. Cloud, Ior Bryant's sugar company in Canal Point and the machinery for the Pennsylvania Company mill up the canal from Miami. Even after railroads came and could haul cheaper and faster than the sliearnboals, king-sized building materials like girders for the bridges being built were still hauled by Capt. Johnson's boats. Bit by bit gasoline and diesel engines replaced the xxood-uiied boats, but Capt. Johnson's Osce- ola %%as still his pride and joy. He bragged that "she could float in a heavy de\\ and out-pull anything on the lake." But \\ hen the diesel tugboat C.J. Morro\\ pulled her backwards, he just gave up. When she later sank, he quit. He was the last of the steam boat skippers on Lake Okee- chobe,. . Source,: "A pioneer boatman tells of Okeechobee boats & Skippers." La\ rence E. Will.

Farm-city week emphasizes urban-rural partnership TALLAHASSEE Autumn is a time of optimism for Florida farmers as they prepare to har- vest their winter crops to feed the nation. Fall also brings the annual Farm-City Week, which will be observed November 17- 23, and Florida Agriculture Com- missioner Charles H. Bronson is urging Floridians to take the opportunity to reflect on the interdependence of farmers, consumers and all those whose efforts make Florida's agricultur- al system work. "Every year, Farm-City Week reminds us all rural and urban residents alike that we live and work together in the same environment and depend on each other," Bronson said. Farm-City Week started by the National Farm-City Council and promoted nationally by the American Farm Bureau is observed the seven days leading up to and including Thanksgiv- ing. Under the theme "Partners in Progress," Farm-City Week salutes all those who work as part of the complex network that brings food from the field to the table. These "Partners in Progress" include farmers and ranchers, researchers, proces- sors, brokers, truckers and ship- pers, advertisers, wholesalers and retailers. This network results in numerous benefits to "The key is the interdependence among those who produce the products, those who consume the products, and all those in the production and marketing chain between the producer and con- sumer. These vital farm-city partnerships - with rural and urban communities working together have made the most of our rich agri- cultural resources, and they continue to con- tribute to our health and well being and to the strength of our economy." Charles H. Bronson, Florida Agriculture Commissioner society by providing an abun- dance and variety of food as well as products used to make cloth- ing, housing, medicines, and countless other items used daily. "The key is the interdepend- ence among those who produce the products, those who con- sume the products, and all those in the production and marketing chain between the producer and consumer," said Bronson. "These vital farm-city partner- ships with rural and urban communities working together - have made the most of our rich agricultural resources, and they continue to contribute to our health and well being and to the strength of our economy." Bronson also urged Floridi- ans to visit their local communi- ty farmers' markets during the fall and winter to enjoy fresh Florida fruits and vegetables at the peak of freshness and wholesomeness. Shopping at farmers' markets is a growing trend in Florida, and the number of farmers' markets in the state has doubled in the last 10 years. More than 70 com- munity farmers' markets are list- ed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Half of Florida's 67 counties have farmers' markets. "The increasing popularity of farmers' markets is due to a cou- ple of factors," Bronson said. "As people have become more health-conscious, there's a grow- ing demand for fresh, high-quali- ty produce. And what could be more healthful than produce that's grown locally, often just minutes away from your home?" People who shop at farmers' markets enjoy fresh, wholesome produce throughout the growing season, while helping to keep small farms viable. There are also less obvious benefits: buy- ing locally grown food conserves energy and other natural resources, reduces air and water pollution, preserves green space, and helps build a stronger, more close-knit community. "There tends to be a social aspect to the markets," Bronson said. "The historic ties between farmer and consumer are restored." Florida's 44,000 commercial farmers grow more than 280 dif- ferent crops. Year round, Florida ranks No. 2 nationally in the U.S. production of fresh vegetables. Florida provides 80 percent of the fresh vegetables grown in the United States during Janu- ary, February and March of each year. Florida agriculture has an estimated overall economic impact of more than $87 billion annually. Woman of the Year nominations open Woman of the year in agri- culture award nomination deadline is November Florida Agriculture Commis- sioner Charles H. Bronson announced that nominations are being accepted for the 2006 "Woman of the Year in Agricul- ture" award. The award, now in its 22nd year, recognizes women who have made out- standing contributions to Flori- da agriculture. "This award spotlights the vital role of women in Florida agriculture and serves to encourage other women to get involved in the business," Bronson said. "Many women have made significant contri- butions over the years in devel- oping and sustaining this important industry, which has an overall economic impact estimated at more than $87 bil- lion annually." Those nominated for the award will be judged by a panel familiar with Florida agri- culture. The award will be pre- sented in February at the open- ing-day luncheon of the 2007 Florida State Fair in Tampa. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Ser- vices, which sponsors the event, has sent nomination forms to agricultural organiza- tions around the state. The deadline for submitting nomi- nations to the Department is November 1, 2006. Nomina- tions remain active for two years; after that time they must be resubmitted in order to be considered.

Lucy led a life of help- ing others. She spent ten years of her life at the Migrant Family Cen- ter helping migrant farm workers. Her family wanted to keep LucN 's memory alive by continuing to. help others and not let this hap- pen to anyone else so they started raising money to go toward women in Hendry County who can't afford to have mammo- grams done. A year has gone since Lucy has passed on and the family has managed to raise and donate $6,811.57 to the Family Health Centers of Southwest Florida, Inc. and will continue raising money for this cause. The family started raising money at Swamp Cab- bage where they had a booth set up with sweets. They also ha.- yard sales that helped contribute. The free mammograms started Wednesday, November 1, and will allow approximately 100 women to receive a free mammrno- gram. Lucy's parents, Gordon and Judy Litt, are originally from Canada where everyone has free health care. They said they can't possibly imagine how a country as rich as America can- not afford to provide everyone health care.

PSC files comments with FCC about phone charges TALLAHASSEE The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) has filed comments on a proposal to reform the way tele- phone companies compensate each other for completing calls. Charges for call completion are included in telephone rates paid by consumers. Current payments between companies can vary by call type (local, intrastate long distance, or interstate long distance I and by the type of providers involved As a result, significantly different charges exist for similar types of calls. This difference can lead to a company misreporting traffic in order to minimize the costs of one carrier at the expense of another carrier. The comments were filed in response to a July 2006 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) notice seeking comments on the Missoula Plan (Plan). The Plan is the result of a lengthy col- laboration including industry stakeholders and is part of an ongoing industry effort to shift network cost recover iv from per minute charges assessed between carriers to flat-rated charges levied on consumers. Under the Plan, compensation rates may be reduced by $6 bil- lion over four years, but the reductions will be offset by pass- ing approximately $6.9 billion in additional costs to consumers. The PSC expressed concern that the Plan's proposed rate reduc- tions are not required to pass through to consumers. "While the PSC acknowledges the need for reform, the Missoula Plan does not appear to be in the best interest of Floiida's con- sumers," Commission Chairman Lisa Polak Edgar said The Commission's comments to the FCC can be found at http:..wwvw.psc.slate.fl.us,'dock- ets federal.

Bronson announced today that biological control pro- gram efforts underway in more than 30 Florida counties are proving successful in controlling the destructive pink hibiscus mealybug (PHM). PHM was first discovered in the U.S. in Broward County four years ago. "Florida was ready for the dis- covery of PHM, recognizing that because of its prevalence in the Caribbean, it was only a matter of time before it arrived in the U.S.," Mr. Bronson said. "Florida is besieged with invasive plant pests and diseases because of our climate and location and finding natural solutions to these problems is a key component of the Department's mission," he added. Luckily, PHM has some natu- ral enemies two are parasitic, gnat-sized wasps (Anagyrus kamali and Gyranusoidea indi- ca), that attack PHM but cause no harm to other insects, plants or animals. Another enemy that is helping to control PHM num- bers is a lady beetle, Cryptolae- mus that is a predator of PHM and already well established in Florida. PHM has spread to 34 Florida counties, including Manatee, Sarasota, Pinellas and Hillsbor- ough. Most of the infestations have been found on hibiscus plants. Biological control para- sites are being released in all counties with current infesta- tions. In the last four years, more than 2 million have been released. In addition to PHM parasite rearing facilities in California and Puerto Rico, the parasites are now being reared at the Department's Division of Plant Industry in Gainesville at a rate of 16,000 per week. Currently, two thirds of these are being released in the Sarasota/Mana- tee county area where some of the state's newest infestations have been identified. Even though the biological control program is helping to suppress the population of PHM, eradication is not feasible and pest management is a more real- istic approach. After the biologi- cal control parasites are released in an area, in time, usually two or three months, they will repro- duce and spread out miles from the initial release site. Biological control programs conducted in the Caribbean have reported 60%-80% reduc- tion of PHM within six months of parasite releases at test sites, and 95%-98% after one year. The southeast Florida PHM biologi- cal control program has been ongoing since the initial out- break in June of 2002 and results have been promising. In Broward and Miami-Dade coun- ties, plant recovery is excellent. Average decline in the PHM adult female population at study sites was 97.2%. PHM occurs in most tropical areas of the world and attacks more than 200 plant species, including many found in Florida, such as hibiscus, citrus, mango, avocado, tomato, cucumbers and others. It is a tiny (3mm) sap-sucking insect that forms colonies on host plants, which if left undisturbed, can grow into large cotton-like masses of white waxy deposits on branches and leaves. PHM feeds on the sap of the plant and releases toxic sub- stances causing injury and sometimes death to the plant. PHM infestations are spread by wind, infected plant material and also by ants or other small insects. Although PHM is potentially a very serious threat, homeown- ers should not become overly concerned because Florida is home to more than 200 species of relatively harmless mealy- bugs, all of which share a similar appearance once they infest a host plant. Only an entomologist can determine if a plant has PHM. PHM can be distinguished from other mealybug species by its reddish-brown, smooth body and pink-to-red bod\ fluid. If homeowners think their plants may have PHM. they can call the state helpline at (888)' 397-1517. State plant inspectors will check properties in new areas suspected of having PHM. If PHM has already been detect- ed in an area, and the beneficial parasites have been released, it may not be necessary to check individual yards. The Depart- ment is asking that homeowners and lawn maintenance compa- nies control PHM damage to plants by cutting away damaged areas, double bagging plant debris and disposing of it with their household garbage, not their yard trash. Yard trash is often composted and spread back into the environment. The state is also asking homeowners in areas where the PHM para- sites are being released to avoid using pesticides on their land- scape plants because the insecti- cides will kill the beneficial para- sites that are being released to control PHM. More information about the pink hibiscus mealybug is avail- able on the Department=s web- site at www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi or call 888-397-1517. PSC grants Crist petition for services creeks TALLAHASSEE attorney General Charlie Crist's petition to intervene on behalf of Florida telephone customers was formal- ly granted yesterday, allowing him to join a previously filed petition from Florida's Public Counsel and AARP that asks the Public Service Commission to order Florida phone companies to automatical- ly enroll eligible low-income resi- dents in the Lifeline telephone service. The PSC notlied the Attorney\ General (A G.ithat his petition to join the case hac been granted. The Lieline piogiam provides low-priced telephone services designed to ensure that basic lele- phone service remains affordable to all residents of Florida. The services are intended to provide consumers \\ho otherwise might not be able to afford telephone service with life-saving communi- cation opportunities. A.G. Crist filed the petition with the PSC last week to support the request of Public Counsel 1-larold McLean and AARP, ivhose petition noted that fewer than 13 percent of qualifying Florida residents partic- ipate in the program, meaning more than one million eligible households do not take advan- tage of the available benefits. "I am pleased to join the fight for this life-saving program on behalf of Floridians," said A.G. Cnst "Citizens deserve fair rates without having to jump through hoops or over obstacles." Floridians and the State of Florida are not receiving the finan- cial benefits that are deserved from contributions they make to fund universal support services, including Lifeline. In 2003, Florida contributed more than $44 mil- lion into the federal fund that pays for Lifeline, but only received $15.5 million in teuin, losing more than $29 million. In 2004. Floridians paid more than $385 million to the universal service fund, but received little more than $137 million in support for Life- line and other support services, resulting in a loss ol almost a quarter of a billion dollars. Increasing participation in Lifeline \\ill help to reduce that deficit and increase the benefits to eligible Floridians. Additionally, Lifeline Assistance can save eligible con- sumers as much as $160 per year on telephone services. Under the proposal by Mr. McLean, AARP and A.G. Crist, telephone companies would be required to work with the Depart- ment of Children and Families to enroll all Floridians who would qualify for the assistance. Exam- ples of those who qualify include Floridians who are on food stamps or who request federal public housing assistance and other assistance programs. More information on eligibility is avail- able at: http:,,\,w.floridapsc. com'utilities telecom lifeline e ngbrochure.aspx.

Lifeline_Order.pdf Everything rests squarely on your attitude, Our attitudes are everything! Yes I know that you don't believe me, but what we think about we bring about! We have to look at what we are doing to ourselves and our families with our atti- tudes! When %xe \'hirnt and saN no one ever helps around here, then thal is iust '.\ 'hat' you aie asking for and guess \\ h. -i,', n ill et it' When we feel pitiful, with that "don't care" or "I can't" attitude then we reflect that in our appear- ance. Now here is the big one! When we act poor we will be poor! I am not saying to go out and spend thousands of dollars, it is an "Ole poor me" attitude that makes us save things and hoard stuff. There is another attitude that hits us all hard. You can make yourself sick with your attitude. The mind is a strange machine! If you think it is so, your \nsh will be granted. Whether you are actually sick or not! The good part about this is that we can refuse to be sick and it will help us get better too! What about the anorexic woman who weighs 85 pounds. When she sees herself in the mir- ror, she sees fat. She can't help it. Then there are the people that will never have a clean home because one thing is out of place means the whole house is dirty. Then there are those of us that don't think we have time to clean it like our mothers did, so we do nothing! How about the "I don't have enough time" attitude? Guess what you won't, if you don't stop thinking this way! Then there is the "I'm so stu- pid" attitude; you are not, but you say this to yourself more times than I want to know about. Hey it has even come out of your mouths in front of your babies. What does that tell them about how you love yourself? Our attitudes are everything. We have been making ourselves sick! The guilt, stress, self-defeat- ing attitudes, negativity, perfec- tionism, niartyrdom, and anger are helping to create illness and discomfort in our lives. I know we are all going to die one day. Death is part of living! But why can't we live our lives to the fullest by letting go of this stress, guilt, anger, perfectionism, martyrdom and those other nega- tive behaviors. We deserve to be happy and where you get.,rid of this negativity, guess what is left: Joy and contentment. We all know how to clean, we just don't know when to get up and move! That is what I do;,moti- vate you to get off your fanny and do something. I fill your head with an attitude adjusting essay so you will see how your negative atti- tudes are keeping you from FLY- ing! If I can do this one thing, your home will come together and before you know it you will be loving yourself more than you ever thought possible. If the truth be known, you never knew there was a lack of love that caused all this CHAOS. You just thought you were lazy! Well you are not! When you hear those self-dep- recating words come out of your mouth and even in your head; stop right then and there and turn them into positive affirmations. First delete the ugly words by say- Submitted photo A scary affair The costume contest for those 0 to 4 years old brought a variety of costumes and tough choice for the judges. The Lakeport Fall Festival on Oct. 28 included a costume contest for those ages 8 to 12 years old. ing Delete, I didn't mean that, I take that back. I refuse to let you beat me up! Then say the positive phrase seven times out loud: "I can do, I am strong." It took me a long time to really start believing myself when I said to me, "I love myself!" Slowly it will start to become part of you if you 1ill continue tosay the %words to yourself. What we think about we bring about! It takes time. I'd say about nine months of giving birth to a new you! It is just like with your routines; they didn't happen over night! Slowing and one babystep at a time you began replacing your ineffective habits with new efficient ways of living and loving! It all starts with knowing what we are doing to ourselves. When we know we can change! Are you ready to FLY with a new loving attitude?

He then decided to cooperate with the investigation All parties returned to the house on 16050 Marsh Lane, where a check of the dwelling was done. No one else was found there. A search was conducted and a locked garage door was locat- ed. Detective Harris said that he' asked for a key and Marquez said that he .did not have one and gave 'him permission to break the door. The detective then observed that Marquez had sev- eral keys in addition to the house Work Continued From Page 1 told by him that he would have to get more ridge covers first. That was two months ago. In the meantime, she went to the library to consult internet sites in order to find if he was licensed by the state of Florida. When she did not find proof of a contractor's license she con- tacted the Glades County Build- ing and Zoning Department. Ms. Lashway said that they con- firmed he was unlicensed and they are looking into the matter. This was indeed bad news for Lois Lashway, a struggling can- cer survivor and for her husband who has recently been diag- nosed with cancer also. They spend a great deal of time travel- ing to therapy treatments. In addition to these worries they Garbage Continued From Page 1 mandatory pick up want the cost to be shared by each resi- dent. Workshop participants who do not want to be billed for mandatory pick up feel that they should have the choice to remove garbage themselves or with the cooperation of neigh- bors. Frequency of garbage removal must be considered, too. There is no decision yet whether to have one or two garbage days per week. Differ- ent types of waste must also be given thought. Not only regular household garbage but also veg- etation and discarded appli- ances must be dealt with. The county commissioners will also have to consider whether it is more cost effective to have one vendor or more than one, working in the county. Before final decisions are made the county needs to advertise for requests for proposals (rfp) and hold another workshop. In other business, concern for the safety of ATV drivers brought Sheriff Stuart Whiddon to the meeting. Recently, the state created a statute which allows all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to operate during day- light hours on unpaved roads that have a speed limit less than 35 miles per hour. This would motion passed. It seems that the overall envi- ronmental position of the group is that coal-burning plants are too polluting despite measures that might be taken to reduce their levels of pollution. "Our organization's purpose is to look out for to protect the creek and surrounding areas from pollution," said Amber Braarz, treasurer and board member. "This is the reason we're opposed to this coal-burn- ing facility, the fact that the plant is coal-burning is taking a step in the wrong direction. There are ways other than coal-burning to generate power." key. The detective was able to open the garage door with one of these keys. Detective Harris stated in the arrest report, "I asked Marquez why he lied again and he just put his head down in a submissive manner." During the search of the resi- dence 30 marijuana plants %ere found in the garage and two additional plants %\ere found in a starter room adjacent to the garage. Also located in the search were numerous .38 cal- iber bullets and a fully loaded Taurus .38 caliber handgun. Detectives believe that the house as rented for the sole purpose of growing marijuana. Jose Abel Marquez \,as arrested and booked into the Glades County Jail. now have a poorly installed metal roof on their home. The Lashways have contact- ed three licensed contractors to get a bid on repairs. Unfortu- nately, there are so many instal- lation mistakes that the entire roof will have to be replaced at a cost of $8,500. Lois Lashway does not want this to happen to other residents who are anxious to get repairs done. If county residents need to hire any contractor they should verify that the business has a Florida state license by visiting www.myflorida.com, or call the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation at 850-487-1395. The Glades County Building and Zoning office can be called at 946-0533. They can also help verify that a contractor has the required license for the type of work he is proposing to do. only be for licensed adults, or licensed adults who are super- vising children. However, the state included a provision which allows a county to be exempt from this statute if the county has determined that it is unsafe and would result in accidents, rollovers, brain injuries, paralysis and death; especially among children. Sheriff Whiddon suggested the county opt out of this provi- sion as had many other coun- ties. The county commissioners agreed it is unsafe and the ATV exemption from the statute was approved. An ordinance relating to civil traffic citations was amended to approve a $2 increase in fines in order to help fund the county's Driver Education Program. Earli- er in 2006, the state of Florida had a statute revision that per- mits the increase. A public hearing resulted in amending the Official Zoning Map by rezoning a tract of land from Commercial to Residential Single Family. The tract is locat- ed near Sportsman's Village.

It is illegal to bring into Florida, carcasses of any species of the fam- ily Cervidae (e.g. deer, elk and moose) from 10 states and one Canadian province where chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been found, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com- mission (FWC). The deadly disease has turned up in: New Mexico, Utah, Col- orado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, New York, West Virginia and Alberta, Canada. Visit the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture's Web site at www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/nahps/cw d/ for the most up-to-date CWD coverage: "To date, no cases of CWD have been found in Florida," said Deer Program coordinator Robert Van- derhoof of the FWC's Division of Hunting and Game Management "Hunters can help prevent the spread of CWD into Florida by observing the restrictions placed on bringing carcasses in from other areas here the disease has been detected." CWD, first identified in Col-' orado in 1967, is a disease that affects the central nervous system and is related to "mad cowv" dis- ease in cattle and scrapie in sheep:. The disease always proves fatal to the inlected animal, but there are no known cases of it being trans- milled to people, domestic animals or livestock. Hunters still can bring back de- New small game spots open thanks to FWC The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in cooperation with the South Florida Water Manage- ment District, is opening new small-game areas for hunters this year, providing increased opportunities for migratory bird hunting. ' The Rocky Glades public- small game hunting area, in Miami-Dade County and the C- 23/24 Reservoir small game hunting area in St. Lucie County are open. "The FWC is dedicated to pro- viding opportunities to hunters on public lands whenever it can," said Dr. Jen Williams, pub- lic hunt areas biologist for the FWC. ."These are prime sites for doves, but other small game also may be available for hInters" Both areas follow the statewide migratory bird season. That means hunters can take migratory birds during the entire duration otf each phase of dove season and during each of the waterfovl I seasons The C-23/24 Reservoir area is a 1,139-acre site made up of abandoned orange groves and a reservoir. Rocky Glades is a 158- acre site abutting Everglades National Park. Both were open for special duck season at the end of September and are open for the first phase of dove season, which just began. They will be open Nov. 11 through Jan. 7 for taking hogs and small game such as rabbits, quail and squirrel. A third area, Allapatah Flats, a 20,945-acre small game hunting area in Martin County, is expect- ed to open by the start of small- game' season. It does not follow the staI.'-vide rrigrato r bidt season. Hunters may take migra- tory birds there only when that season coincides with the small game season established fo that area. Tlh.:ugh the area is dr\ and not i-eal fo \\ate lo\\lI this year, therti are plenty of hogs and a special-oppr.-'rl runrly. a dove hurting field \es.t of Fox Brovn Road that should keep hunters happy. Hunters must have a per- mit to hunt on the special- opportunity dove field, but no permits are required to hunt on the rest of the area. "The dove field is in a higher, drier location than it has been in past years, so it should attract hitE doves," Williams said. "It w'as moved specifically for that season."

By Jeff Barwick The Clewiston Tigers contin- ued their unbeaten season on Fri- day night when they traveled to Boca Raton and whipped St. Andrews in a their final district game of the year. The Tigers now head to home- coming this Friday for a match up with Okeechobee as the Tigers shoot for their first undefeated sea- son since 1990. Okeechobee will enter the contest with a 3-6 record. The Tigers dominated the weaker Scots after the opening quarter but the first 10 minutes of the contest had the Tiger faithful sitting on the edge of their seats. Clewiston took the opening kick- off after the Scots deferred. On the first snap from a spread for- mation, a high snap broke the rhythm of a running play and quarterback Jared Combass missed the handoff to Jamal Hubert and the Scots recovered deep in Tiger territory at the 17. The tough Tiger defense stopped them at the 14, forcing a field goal attempt. Tiger defensive tackle Johnny Jones broke through the line to block a 30 yard field goal attempt. Taking over at the 20, the -a H e t ,. ,,: P -.o r tu-,,' .. ..-- ow o a 6 a,-, ru ., Jamal Hubert steps into end zone for a touchdown on a 6 yard run. Jasper Hunter pulls in a Combass pass and then headed up field for a 45 yard gain. Tigers turned the ball right back over to St. Andrews on the sec- ond play when a snap exchange between Tiger center Ryan Gut- shall and Combass wound up on the turf. This time, the Scots capi- talized on the Tiger error and quarterback Joey Lancos scored on a 1 yard sneak with a little over 2 minutes left in the quarter. Tiger nose tackle Edwin Alverez blocked the point after attempt. Finally, the Tigers managed to hold on to the ball and scored on a four play drive covering 80 yards that took only 50 seconds off the game clock. Combass linked up on a 12 yard pass to John Melton and then a text book 45 yard hitch and go pattern to wideout Jasper Hunter. Tiger tailback Jamal Hubert then smashed the final 20 yards and kicker Will Davis converted to put the Tigers on top, 7-6. The Tigers took an early sec- ond period short punt and began a drive from the Scots' 40 yard line. Four plays later Hubert scored again a 5 yard run and Davis converted. The Tigers scored their final first half points with only 26 seconds remaining after a 76 yard, 8 play drive that was highlighted by Combass' pre- cision passing. He connected .with Melton and Hunter again for plays of 13 and 22 yards. A few plays later, Combass lobbed a screen pass to Hubert who raced up the field for 39 yards to the Scots' one yard line. On the next snap, Hubert danced into the end zone and Davis tacked on the extra point and the Tigers went to intermission sporting a 21-6 advantage. The third period found Clewis- ton adding another score when Hubert raced for a 35 yard score to cap off a 4 play drive covering 78 yards. Hubert had a 30 yard run on the drive and tailback Darris Hugh- es had a 13 yard run, too. Davis nailed the extra point. The final period, most of which was played under a running clock as the Tiger's advantage exceeded 35 points, saw Clewiston scoring three times. Hubert scored on a six yard run, Darris Hughes on a 13 yard dash and then Collin Ricketts punched in the final score on a 24 yard run. Davis added all three extra points as he extended his perfect streak to 39. The Tiger offense %\as cooking after the early mistakes .lJaed (Combass ''a_ at his p.-ssing b,-st for the entire season.; Of the ten incomplete passes thrown, virtual- ly evei \. one of them hit the receiver and most could have been caught. In scoring seven rushing touch- downs, the Tigers moved the ball p etty mrnuch at will. Defense ely, the Tigers were the same old tough group that has been showing up all season. The touchd'., n given up in the first quarter \\as the first yielded in five games. Onr the night, linebacker David Pope had 4 tackles and an assist. lDefensive end Delvin Hugh- %s \\ a in the Scots' backfield most of the night and had 4 tackles, an assist, t\vo running sacks, and recovered a fumble. Defensive backs John Melton and Sim Put- nam each had an interception. Holding the Scots to a total of 86 .Nards of total offense, the defense eemrns I- i ust get tougher each oteek and plays with very few penalties assessed despite their haid hiling The Tigers will host Mulberry in irund ne of the Class 2A State Plate olls on November 10. Mulber- rv actually finished in third place in District 2A-5 but runner-up St. Petersburg Catholic is ineligible for post-season play this year and next. They received these sanc- tions for recruiting violations and for improper filming of an oppo- nent. Mulberry enters the final week of the regular season with a 2-7 record and Bishop Verot was the only common opponent for this season. Both the Tigers and Mulberry handily beat the Vikings.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee 18 SPORTS Thursday, November 2, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee RELIGION 19 'Water what you want to grow' By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church I may be slow at times but sometimes I get an amazing grasp of the obvious. I went into the bathroom and there hanging on little plaque that my wife had just put up. It simply stat- ed, "If we can put men on the -: moon, why can't we teach them to pick up' ,their John socks?" Hicks I started laughing. Point made So ladies, how' do you improve your man? Let me share with you a few perspectives from this man's point of view. Think about animal acts Have you ever watched them' It's amazing what they can get ani- mals to do! If you watch closely, however, you will come to under- stand why they do all the neat stuff they do. After each trick, they look up to the trainer. In the train- ers' pocket or small pouch there is a treat. If you want to get a dog or a dolphin or a bird to do some- thing, give them a treat. I enjoy watching animals, I also enjoy watching people. One thing I've noticed in the man- woman relationship in all my watching is that men are a lot like the animals. If you want a dolphin to do something, you give him a fish. If _-oui \\ant to gel the dog to jump through the hoop, give him a treat. In a like manner, if you give us a fish when \\e do some- thing good, then we'll do it again. Give us a treat, and we'll also jump through that hoop. Some women seem to believe that the best %\ a to get their man to improve is to nag him into it. Some have a tongue sharper than any harpies'. The Scriptures tell us that "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the fool- ish one tears hers down." There are some things that a woman does that build the people she cares about, and there are others that tear them down. Most women agree that every man needs work done on him. However, if you approach your husband like a personal home improvement project, you'll prob- ably run into complications. If you say,: "I've got to fix this guy!" chances are the fix will come hard. Is it stubbornness or ego or just selective hearing? I'm not sure, probably some of all of these. One thing I do know, how- ever. When a man is pushed, he tends to go the other way not come your direction. For me,.the stronger the wind blows, the stronger I resist it. (Yes, even pas- tors can be obtuse!) If you want to improve your man, lift him up. Honor him. Value him. Tell him what's good about him. Praise him when he does something right, even if it's just a small improvement. Give him a fish if you want him to do it some more. Or, like one lady of wisdom shared, "Water what you want to grow." When you consistently have a ministry of encouragement and affirmation in your man's life, you'll notice that when he feels safe and valued by you, he's a lot more likely to listen when you need to tell him something that's hard to hear. He'll know you love him and that you %want him to be the best he can be. Ruth Graham, wife of Evange- list Billy Graham, states it better than I ever could. Ruth made the comment, "It is my job to love Billy. it's God's job to change him!" Amen. Your vote is a legacy reflecting your values By Rev. Samuel S. Thomas, Ph. D. One member of a Church I served was not too acti e in his later years. When I went by to visit, he asked me about what he should do with his estate. It would have been easy to say "leave it to the Church," but that was not what I fell would be the most ethical answer. Instead, I asked him about his values. I asked him "What do you believe in?" and he thought. I suggested that if he believed in education, he might wish to set up a scholarship to support someone who needed help to become an engineer (he had worked as an engineer for many years.) I sug- gested that if he liked animals, he might support the work of animal rescue leagues in the region. I sug- gested that if his faith was impor- tant to him and served to sustain him during his life, he might 1is "i to support his church and see that it was sustained and that the good works done might continue. I asked him about his hobbies and past times or the things that , might have refreshed him and that he enjoyed; he had none other than his work. We talked about special people in his li;f- and thai he didn t naie to l e, everything to just one cause but could support many of the things that made up his life. I hope I caused him to reflect on a larger question: "'Who are you?" and use his tan- gible blessings of support to ' see what he . believed would :-- '* continue We "vote" with ho\ \ve use oui God- resources all of SamuelS. our lives as Thomas. \%ell as when w\e come to our earthly ends, too. I think it is our best expression of .our true \alues and who we are; not what \we say or have written on our bumper stickers, or where we go 'o listen, but how we use what is entrusted to us. Biblically, James (Chapter, \ erse 22) admonishes us that w\e are to be "doers of the word, and not hearers only." What ke ha\e come to believe is to reflect a legacy to be handed ov er and forwarded, as \vell as rep- resenting what we believe our directions are to take now, too. Perhaps voting is really a way of sa ino "W'hat :-re we about'" ,-:nI. .il t lUSt :-h.....:r.Og :jr one who had the best ad campaign or who could direct my under- standing of what they are about by talking (usually badly) about an opponent. It has occurred to me that my voting is also my will and testa- ment, but it has a here-and-now part as well as a future part. The questions that help me make a decision is to know "Who are you'" and "Whal are you about?" The more I hear about persons and who they are; the better I will understand if they are "doers of the word" and not see a disconnect between words and actions. I remember learning in school about "padding." That was when students who didn't know the answer to a question used to write around it, or spend all of their time writing on a small point because they didn't know the major point to be covered, or when they really didn't answer the questions being asked and instead wrote their own answer to try to make it look as if it \\as related to the question asked. Good teachers would penalize them; it really meant they hadn't studied and hadn't done their homelwot k. Every now and then, "padding" comes to mind when I listen to people searching for my support. The question that helps me decide who to support deals with issues but it also deals with "Who are you?" When I hear %what sounds like "padded answers", I wonder about the legacy for the future that %ill be left and if this is the legacy I want to have for the next few years and beyond, too. My old church member left a good legacy. It was because it was a living witness to w ho he was and what he believed. That's the kind of legacy I'd like to leave too; at each decision, in each vote, and finally to continue in God's world as a "doer" every day, and at the last day., too Area Church News in Brief District Baptist Association to convene The 67th Session of the Greater South Florida District Baptist Asso- ciation will convene November 6 - 11, at Greater Union Missionary Baptist Church, South Bay.

Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccine The CDC recommends booster shots at least every ten years. Tetanus is cased by a germ that enters the body through a cut or a wound. Tetanus can lead to locking of the jaw (Tetanus is also called "lockjaw"), muscle spasms and inability to swallow. Diphtheria is spread from an infected peIrso-n to the nose or throat of otll ets Diphi teiida can lead to breathing problems, heart fail- ure, paralysis and death. Since the bac- teria that cause these diseases are widespread, the CDC recommends all adults be immunized. If you have not been immunized for tetanus in the past five years, consult your doctor to find out if voui should have a hnnster shot.

Additional recommendations: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine The CDC now recommends this vaccination for girls ages 9-26. !'The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that a newly licensed vaccine designed to protect against human papillomar\irus virus ,r'.p be routinely given to girls when 'he;. are 11-12 years old. The ACIP recommendation also allows for S.. -iff)in of girls beginning at nine years old as well as vaccination of girls and women 13-26 years old. HPV is the IIrdlir.r cause of cervical cancer in women. According to the ACIP's rec- ommendation, three doses of the new vaccine should be routinely given to girls when they are 11 or 12 years old. The advisory committee, however, noted that the vaccination series can be started as early as nine years old at the discretion of the physician or health care provider. The recommendation also includes girls and women 13-26 years old because they will benefit from getting the vaccine. The vaccine should be administered before onset of sexual activity (before women are exposed to the viruses), but females who are sexually active should still be vaccinated. According to the Florida Depart- ment ot Health, this vaccine is not piesenily available through the Florida Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. The VFC program will notify providers when the vaccine is available for order. There are no plans at this time to add HPV to the Florida school entry require- ment, according to the Department of Health Web site. For adults over the age of 50, the CDC also recommends: Influenza vaccine The flu is a con- tagious respiratory illness. The CDC recomrmends that those over age 50 get 1l shots every fall, before the start of For adults over the age of 65, the '(.'[.i)i ait ecomrmends: Pneumococcal vaccine Pneumo- I- iJi iJl disease can lead to pneumonia TCk to your doctor about your vac- c nations and immunizations. If you aren't sure which diseases you had as a child, in some cases there are blood tests that can determine if you should have a vaccination. Remember, the time to ask about vaccinations is before you get sick! SFWMD's AAA-Rated bonds invested West Palm Beach The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), the oldest and largest water resource management agency in the State of Florida, announced today that its inaugural Acceler8 linIn(IngQ con- sisting ,i' r$51; million, Series'K 21ii.)1. Cer- tific.atcs of Participation (COPs) was suaicessfull\ offered in the primary market through Citigroup I.iloihal Mar- kets in NewYork City on October 25. According to Citigroup, the SFWMD COPs are the first to be issued for a nat- ural resources project in the United States and most of the more than $500 million of capital was raised during a two-hour order period Strong early sales resulted in an additional $26 mil- lion raised for Everglades restoration, above and beyond the COPs' total par value of $546 million. COPs will be used to fund eight accelerated Everglades restoration projects, dubbed Acceler8 and consid- ered critical to the overall revitalization of this fragile ecosystem. B,3 i I:'. inr, the money today will help avoid inevitable increases in .,.-,tI ucti.i:,i, materials and labor costs over the life of these key projects. The financing program is rated Aa/AA+/AA- by Mk,,',, Standard & Poor's and Fitch rating ..,.-in-.i s. respectively. A bond insurance wrap from Ambac raised the COPs rating to Aaa/AAA/AAA. "The planning for financing these projects was started more than two years ago," said Paul Dumars, Chief Financial Officer at the South Florida Water Management District. "The Dis- trict leadership wanted a funding solu- tion for early construction of these eight very critical projects with their sub components, and we felt that the responsible thing to do was to have these critical projects completed soon- er rather than later. Our focus was to deliver the benefits of these pi,. ieI.s more rapidly to the ecosystem, start construction to help the communities where projects were to be constructed and avoid the rising cost of crnstruc- tion and other associated elements." B, last-lracking "-he funding, design Li'Ij con4tstrJ'cJi:ti., of Acceier.S projects. the E\'erglales ,',.iill experience positive benefits much sooner and in a more cost-effective manner. As opposed to the "Dpa as you go" approach, taxpay- er dollars needed for construction will be significantly leveraged and the expe- dited course of action reaffirms the commitment of the federal, state and local partnership to revitalize the Ever- glades ecosystem. In addition to the environmental impro:vemenLs, Acceler8 projects also will provide additional flood control and water supply optioJns. along with faste- access to state and federal lands for recreationall opportunities.

I have a 6 month old American Bull dog named Vagas. She is healthy, happy and playful. She however has a terrible problem which I am having trouble breaking. Although I provide her a fresh bowl of water daily, she insists on drinking out of the toilet! Help! Especially since I don't always flush. Thanks Doc, Kevin in Belle Glade. Answer: Dear Kevin. Well, dogs seem to love that big old water bowl- toilet bowl don't they? I have a hospital cat named Barney who insists on drinking out of the toilet too. Since my staff and myself are all girls...Well, we all do seem to remem- ber to flush! Flushing of course will make the whole thing a bit more sani- tary, but even easier will be to put the lid down. I know this may sound like a very simple solution, but as women around the world will agree...Getting their guy to put the seat down is challenge enough! All I can say is, "You can do it!" Take care Kevin, and just remember up, then down... Doc Savvy. E-mail your pet questions to Doc- Savvy@aol.com and check out your answers weekly in The Pet Corner.
