Save Our Creeks against FPL


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Special to the
Glades County Democrat
The regular quarterly board
meeting of Save Our Creeks was
held Saturday, Oct. 28, at
Fisheating Creek Campground
in Palmdale. 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-

Unlicensed work creates worry


Lakeport resident
must pay for
second installation

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
LAKEPORT-Through the
course of four hurricanes Lois
Lashway watched the roof
shingles on her home gradual-
ly loosen up and blow away.
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

A helpful neighbor in her
community climbed a ladder

revealed that many shortcuts
were taken, and mistakes that
had been made were not taken

day, Nov. 19. It is a Spanish Fes-
tival promoted by Radio Fiesta,
a local radio station that servic-
es the immediate areas of

sine with some American clas-
sics, and naturally flavored


waters. Merchandise vendors
will include leather goods,
hats, shirts and fashion acces-
sories. Festival hours are from

Pumpkins are colorful and delicious


It's Pumpkin Time!! 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-

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,

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. The store, located just east of
Clewiston beside Sonny's, was
robbed around 10 p.m. on Octo-
ber 22. According to Investigator
Tiffany Arnold, that's when the
call came and the Hendry County


Sheriff's Office responded.
According to their report, a
suspect entered the store waving
a knife in the shape of a hook
while he allegedly robbed the
store. Getting away with $23
from the cash register and $25
from the store's safe.
Sheriff Ronnie Lee said wit-
nesses were able to give accurate
descriptions of one of the two
suspects involved in the robbery.
Reports indicate that Miller


was at home at the Tropical
Mobile Home Park in Clewistonr
when the arrest was made. He
was transported to the Hendry
County Jail, where he was
booked on charges of armed
robbery, aggravated assault and

According to Sheriff Lee,

nection with the robbery.


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.

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.

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."

OPINION







Thursday, November 2, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


Captain Clay Johnson was an Okeechobee boatman
By MaryAnn Morris


Okeechobee history has many
legends: Sheriff Pogy Bill Collins,
the Ashley 'Gang, and Dan
McCarthy and too long neglected,
Captain Clay Johnson.
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.

Capt. Johnson standing far left. Seated far left are Grandfather Runels, next to Mr. Runels is
Roberta Johnson around 1900(?).


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.
There %\as a landing on the
ri\'e at Basingte, but the town
itself w\as up on high ground a lit-
tle \\a3 back Th-Fe .'.e'le stores, a
hotel, a post office and a church
in- Ba -ig l ba ci. ti,-n
Captain Johnson's next boat
was said to be his favorite: ihe
Lillie, named for his wife. 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,. .

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.
For more information about
the "Woman of the Year in Agri-
culture" award including
screening criteria and biogra-
phies of previous winners, or to
obtain nomination forms, call

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

ets federal. PDFs MissoulaPlan.pd

FCC by December 11, 2006.

Tiny wasps help control pink hibiscus mealybug


TALLAHASSEE Florida
Agriculture Commissioner
Charles H. 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.

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-

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

happen over night! Slowing and
one babystep at a time you began
replacing your ineffective habits
with new efficient ways of living

It all starts with knowing what
we are doing to ourselves. When
we know we can change!
Are you ready to FLY with a

area locally
The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
(FWC) has reopened the Ever-
glades and Francis S. Taylor
Wildlife Management Area,
which was closed in late Septem-
ber because of high water levels.
High water levels, which have
now receded, were jeopardizing
wildlife, particularly deer, in the
area, which includes parts of
Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-
Dade counties.
FWC Assistant Executive
Director Vic Heller signed an
executive order Thursday to
reopen the area to public access.

Workshop participants who

should have the choice to
remove garbage themselves or
with the cooperation of neigh-

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-

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

hold another workshop.

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-

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.

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

STigers stay perfect, whip St. Andrews 49-6


Submitted pho.tbsJeff Barwick
Tiger cheerleaders give a yell for their team at Friday night's
game against St. Andrews.


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.

'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

spread from an infected peIrso-n to the
nose or throat of otll ets Diphi teiida can
lead to breathing problems, heart fail-

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

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. For

Question: Dear Doc Savvy. Hello! 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.
