Cape Relay for Life sets lofty goal

By DREW [email protected]

The Cape Coral R/Seahawks“Gathering of the Giants” — acelebration of replica and modelradio controlled airplanes —takes to the skies this weekendfor two fun filled days of familyentertainment.

“Giants” is the R/Seahawksbiggest event of the year. Theother two: “Jets over the Cape,”and “Warbirds over Paradise,”don’t draw the same kind ofcrowds that Giants usually does.

Organizer Ted Stickler said he

expects the event to draw fromthe entire five-county area, evenpulling model airplane enthusi-asts from as far away as Georgia.

The event’s “big” draw is the

The vote to place over-heard transmission lines along47th Terrace by the CapeCoral City Council earlier thismonth was a shock to theCape Coral CommunityRedevelopment Agency’ssystem.

The Lee County ElectricalCooperative first began look-ing at connecting the substa-tion on Everest Parkway justsouth of the Midpoint Bridgeto a substation on 47thTerrace in the CRA 10 yearsago.

LCEC’s forte is installingoverhead lines, but the CRAhas consistently called for theplacement of undergroundlines within its borders, con-tending that overhead lineswould prevent the kind of ver-tical development they aretrying to attract to the down-town.

The CRA and LCECworked in tandem for severalyears to find a compromisesolution with various routessuggested, but LCEC brokeoff from those talks and rec-ommended the route down47th Terrace.

“We were really takenaback by that (vote),” CRAexecutive director JohnJacobsen said.

LCEC officials, however,say the route on 47th shouldcome as no surprise to theCRA.

“I’ve been working on thisproject from day one,” LCECexecutive Trish Lassiter said.

“This was one of the threeoriginal identified routes,” shesaid.

Jacobsen counters that inthe most recent meetings overthe project, the 47th Terrace

route was not in the picture.He will petition the CityCouncil Monday to reconsiderits vote on the overhead trans-mission lines route.

Mayor Jim Burch, whovoted against the overheadlines in the 6-2 council deci-sion, supports rethinking thevote altogether and saidLCEC’s commitment to thecity is lacking.

“We took the worst deci-sion we could possibly take,”Burch said.

The approved route beginsat Everest Parkway, goesdown Del Prado Boulevard toSoutheast 47th Terrace to thesubstation.

Carnival today at Christa McCauliffeBy DREW [email protected]

The madness of March is in full swing, but for the kids atChrista McCauliffe Elementary School, they are in the processof decompressing following the intensity of FCAT testing,which just wrapped.

They plan on celebrating at their school today with theappropriately named “March Madness Carnival,” which fea-tures midway games, food and prizes, and a talent show.

Principal Dr. Lee Bush said the students are starting to cel-ebrate the conclusion of testing.

“Even though at our school we try not to put a lot of empha-sis on the testing ... nevertheless the test itself has a lot of pres-sure aligned with it, especially for third graders,” he said. “Sothis is a chance for us to say, hey, let’s have some fun.”

Not a traditional fund raiser like their efforts in the fall, thisParent-Teacher Organizations fueled carnival is all about giv-ing the kids a chance to let their hair down.

That invitation extends to the entire community, as the car-nival is open to anyone who wants to have a good time. No

school affiliation necessary.“All the events at school

are open to community mem-bers. It doesn’t matter whereyou live, this will be a niceplace to take the kids,” Bushadded. “The community isinvited. The atmosphere wetry to provide is one wherekids and families can havefun.”

The carnival will run forthree hours, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.,packing a lot of activity into ashort period of time.

Bush said the time frameis perfect for what the schoolis trying to accomplish, whichis give the students a fun fewhours, let off some steam, andnot have to take up their entireSaturday.

“The students work hardand they deserve to havesome fun,” he said.

Christa McCauliffeElementary School is locatedat 2817 SW 3rd Ln. For moreinformation call 283-4511.

CERT to begin emergency preparedness course next week

By CONNOR [email protected]

Brush fire season is record dry, andright around the corner is June 1—thestart of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane sea-son. That leaves the Cape Coral FireDepartment crossing its collective fin-gers for one thing: that residents are pre-pared.

One easy, free way for Cape residentsto let firefighters keep their fingers freefor saving lives and holding fire hoses isto become certified with the Cape CoralCommunity Emergency Response Team,or CERT.

CERT will hold an eight-week emer-gency preparedness course covering aplethora of topics beginning Wednesday,March 25, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thecourse will be held each subsequentWednesday at that time until the courseis completed, at the Cape CoralEmergency Operations Center, 1115S.E. 9th Avenue.

“CERT will prepare residents on howto respond or react when faced with adisaster,” said Mindy Blasetti, emer-gency management coordinator with theCape Coral Fire Department and the pro-gram’s director. “We’ve had tornadoes,fires and hurricanes in the city of CapeCoral that we’ve been faced with, so this

course will teach everybody the simplerules of disaster preparedness.”

Hurricanes are markedly one of themost commonly thought-of causes fordisaster in Southwest Florida, but thecourse also teaches a variety of othertopics, including basic first aid, disasterpsychology, hazardous materials andothers.

“We teach them not just hurricanedisaster, it’s any kind of disaster that wecan be faced with,” Blasetti said.

Even something as simple as a fireextinguisher, something most peoplehave at least one of in their home,requires awareness to use properly, shesaid. The CERT course provides a hands-on fire extinguisher training.

“Everybody thinks they know how touse it, but some people have never even(operated) one,” Blasetti said.

Following the course, graduates ofCERT are certified with the program andalso are offered a CPR training course.Following certification they can volun-teer with CERT, with tasks such asworking at weather shelters during hurri-canes.

Local CERT members volunteered atthe Island Coast High School shelter dur-ing Tropical Storm Fay, attending toabout 67 residents.

Two recent graduates of the CERTprogram, Regina Kennell and LindaTownsend, have already agreed to volun-teer if the need arises.

“There are steps that need to be taken

when a shelter opens,” Kennell said. “Asa volunteer, they know your strengthsand weaknesses. They’re pretty in tunewith what level you can volunteer at.”

Whether those who take the CERTclass volunteer afterwards, the informa-tion learned during the course is invalu-able, Kennell said.

“I can’t overemphasize the impor-tance of the class, especially in this timeof our society,” she said. “A neighborwho’s attended a CERT program canhelp emergency personnel when theycome upon a scene. I think it gives youinformation that you’re not aware of ineveryday life.”

Kennell said the course caused her tobecome aware of how to help in times ofdisaster without harming herself in theprocess.

“I was not aware of a lot of differentways you can put yourself in danger as acitizen helping a neighbor,” she said.

The CERT course teaches residentshow to facilitate the “greatest good forthe greatest number of people,” an ideol-ogy that stuck with Kennell after hertraining, she said.

Another recent CERT graduate,Townsend has been telling everyone sheknows to attend the course, including herson and husband.

“I took the class out of fear, and thefear stemmed from not knowing what todo in a catastrophe,” Townsend said.“The fear was because I didn’t knowwhat to do or how to handle myself. All

of (the CERT course) was really good.The best part of it was knowing how tohandle myself in an emergency situation,and helping other people in a situationlike that.”

Townsend especially enjoyed theCPR training at the end of the course,and has signed up to volunteer withCERT in the future.

“I highly recommend this to anyone,”she said. “It helps with anything, eveneveryday life.”

WORD IN THE CAPE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Move on — and keep thelines of communication open

Government needs to learn to live with less

To the editor:The following letter was sent to the Cape Coral

Newsletter, “On The Move”, in response to two of the articleswhich appeared therein. Copies were also sent to Mayor andCouncil:

After reading on page 1, of the subject publication, thatcurrent customers will be hit with another rate increase ontheir water/sewer bills to pay for the city’s debt incurred in theUEP fiasco, I come to the double whammy on page 3 to findthe City Manager’s annual plea for the public service tax andvarious other sources of tax revenue to offset the revenuedecrease from declining property values. He mentions thatrevenues could decline to 2004 levels. What’s wrong withthat?!! That’s about where we are — back in 2004 relative tothe economic situation in the Cape. A good manager must beable to manage in both good and bad times. Mr. Stewartappears to have mastered only the first part. Industry cutsback in downturns (before the bailout philosophy), why can’tgovernment? We had no problem growing government andspending like fools in the good times. Now it’s time to trimstaff and cut costs. Laying off people is not pleasant, butwe’re not running a giant welfare program at taxpayerexpense. And don’t say our government is already lean andmean. Just the other day, I looked across the canal to see fourpeople assigned to dig a hole in the street... one with a shoveland three with their hands in their pockets.

While I’m absolutely opposed to these proposed “diversi-fied” taxes (which are not tax-deductible), even though statedto be revenue neutral, I don’t see why the millage rate shouldincrease either. Learn to live with less; the residents are.Increased taxes in an economic downturn just makes thingsworse. People are struggling to make ends meet. Do you wanteven more foreclosures?

By the way, the “revenue neutral” approach fails to men-tion one small, but important detail: Where’s the baseline?

As to the increase in our water/sewer bills to pay for some-thing not needed by existing customers, please find a way forproperty owners who will eventually need it to pay for it aswell. And weren’t the last series of rate hikes to pay for cap-ital projects? In summary, I’m totally fed up with the inabil-ity of our city government to cope with challenging situations.

Bill VossmanCape Coral

City needs to pare backTo the editor:It is a fact that Cape Coral spent 50 percent more to run its

government in 2007, than it spent in 2005. In 2007, wespent $148.8 million compared to the $99.1 million we spentjust two years earlier. Our Financial Services Departmentneeded $7.6 million to operate in 2005 but that jumped to$13.3 million in 2007. Parks and Recreation went from$4.7 million to $6.6 million. Something called “OtherGovernment” went from $16.5 million to $19.4 million.Environment spending increased from $501,000 to $3.6 mil-lion. Legal went from $764,000 to over $1 million.

Please notice that I haven’t mentioned Police or Firewhich the City Manager always throws out as services whichwill be cut if we do not give him more money to spend.Before we go there, I say major cuts can and should be madeelsewhere.

Port St. Lucie which is a city similar in size to ours, spentonly $61.6 million to run its government in 2007 which is lessthan half of what we spent. And yes, I know they do not havetheir own Fire Department whereas we do. Our spendingincluded $25.8 million for Fire Services but their GeneralFund had zero for Fire services. I should point out they paytaxes to a County Fire District which is accounted for in thatbudget. Anyhow, if we subtract that $25.8 million from thetotal that we spent, we still out spent them by 2 to 1. Our cityfinance director says this is misleading because they accountfor their spending differently than we do. That is question-able, But the bottom line is that we still spent 50 percentmore in 2007 than we spent in 2005 and I would like to seehim defend that.

I also want to know why we need over $4 million to builda Fire Station but the Port St. Lucie Fire District can build onefor $1.75 million. In addition, I want to remind Mr. Masonand City Manager Stewart, that we allow city employees todouble their salary by the use of overtime. A newspaper arti-cle described this back on Feb. 11, 2009. The article said theaverage Cape homeowner paid $939 in taxes of which $676was used to pay city employees. With overtime, a Fire Lt.made $141,000, a Programmer made $126,000 and a PoliceSgt. made $136,000 last year. That is inexcusable and stepsmust be taken to stop high levels of overtime pay. Either wehave very poor contracts which need changing or we havepoor management and no controls in place. An excellentEditorial which appeared in this newspaper on Jan 3, alsosaid: “Wiggling around the tax cap by shifting the cost of serv-ices now paid for with property taxes into special districts and“assessment” levies will not foster recovery. Tax shufflingwill only serve to keep government salaries and benefits fat.We urge the Cape Coral City Council to resist this quick rev-enue fix in ’09 and focus on the long-term. That means mak-ing our tax structure attractive and our homes “cheap to keep”for those who can — as we have learned — invest theirmoney elsewhere.” I say AMEN to that.

To sum up, in this time of record unemployment and fore-closures, this city does not need new taxes, new fees and newassessments. What it needs is major changes in how we aregoverned and particularly in how we spend taxpayer money.

City should treat commercial, residential customers the same

To the editor:It appears that there are still many things going on in Cape

Coral that don’t make any sense. For example Home Depotreceived a big break in their charges for sewer and water. Itappears the fees charged were construction costs from 1996or for water which was a much lesser cost than 2006 when theconstruction was actually done. The construction cost in SW-4 for water was actually $ .4123 square foot while HomeDepot paid $.1406 per square which is a price in line with1996. Residents paid $1.00 per square foot for sewer whileHome Depot paid $.4811 which is half of what the residentspaid and a price in line with the assessments in 2001.

If one looks at the auditor general’s report finding number10 it clearly states that the city revise its method to chargeeach property the proportionate cost of construction. Of coursethe city manager disagrees. The real travesty though is that ourlegislators will not do anything about this.

Keep in mind that when some one under pays the othersmust over pay in order to make up the shortfall.

Governments need to wake upTo the editor:We have Obama promoting “cap and trade” which will

definitely send our energy prices skyrocketing. This agendabeing set to combat the mythical global warming which isnothing more than bandwagon science adopted by politicalelides who assess tie same mind set as that which leads toMarxist/socialism. We have one of Obama’s acolytes, RinoGov. Charlie Crist, spending $30 million for land purchaseshere in Florida while trying to address our budget shortfall atthe same time.

On the local scene we have our county commissioners andothers building baseball stadiums and spending tax dollars forFlorida Forever, the land purchase program which takes landoff the tax rolls. (And no, I don’t like unbridled growth). Thereis also the controversy about how to fund our school systemwith Bob Chilmonik representing the only real voice of rea-son.

On the local scene we also have the city of Cape CoralCRA considering a trolley system, of course more tax dollarswhen there are fewer cars on the road. And, we too have abudget shortfall with talk of raising taxes and utility rates!

In this current economic downturn while people are losingtheir jobs, their homes, their retirements and even their pets,my question is this;has the world gone mad? Wake up folks!

Fertilizer issues overstatedTo the editor:After reading Carl Veaux’s letter about the fertilizer ordi-

nance that he feels the city council should adopt I have to askhim where he gets his information?

Two hundred thousand lawns are being fertilized in CapeCoral. There are 170,000 residents and 30,000 businesses.First of all, they surely do not all have lawns that are fertilizedand for sure not all businesses even have a lawn. You say thatfertilizer will foul our drinking water, cause red tide by creat-ing huge algae blooms and make our canals look bad. Youclaim this alone will stop the red tide and algae blooms thatmay appear this summer. I have to ask you where you get yourscience from? I’m not sure if you have looked around, butthere are more lawns not taking care of than there are. Howabout the foreclosures? I can guarantee they are not being fer-tilized. How many are vacant? Even when these homes areoccupied, not everyone will take care of their lawns.

You say if these people are not fertilizing properly and thefertilizer goes directly into the canals.Who are you talking

If weekend trolley service was presented downtown would you ride it?

We can think of lots of things we don’t want in ourbackyard — or front yard, for that matter.

Nobody likes the sight of trash cans or Dumpsters.Sewage lift stations fall pretty high on the list of annoy-ances that we don’t want to look at but that have to gosomewhere because we can’t do without the service.

In the Cape, for the last decade or so, the thing no onehas wanted in their backyard has been overhead trans-mission lines.

The downtown Community Redevelopment Agencydoesn’t want the heavy-duty lines there, calling themunsightly “blight” that will bring development to a halt.

A few streets outside the CRA, residential propertyowners have said they don’t want transmission lines intheir neighborhood, either — especially since the reasonthe lines are needed is to create a power loop to the LeeCounty Electric Co-op substation on Southeast 47thTerrace smack dab in the heart of the downtown.

After more than 10 years of debate — including theappointment of an “underground committee” to look atthe cost of burying the lines; numerous presentationsbefore and by committee, CRA and LCEC officials; con-sideration of route and re-route plans; innumerable meet-ings, compromise proposals, reports and studies — citycouncil finally made a decision on March 9.

The lines will go down Del Prado Boulevard fromEverest Parkway to Southeast 47th Terrace, followingexisting distribution lines. The lines will be installed onhigher poles overhead as the cost of undergroundingeven the downtown portion would be considerable, andthe CRA’s proposals to divvy those millions up with theredevelopment agency, the utility and the city each pay-ing varying portions failed to gain support.

The route decision affecting the more lengthy DelPrado portion of the project has caused nary a stir.

CRA officials, though, are seriously miffed. Theywant another round and have asked city council to recon-sider its vote because the agency says it didn’t haveanother opportunity for input.

We understand the CRA’s position — it has not var-ied over the 10-year discourse.

As for the more-input-needed argument, pshaw. There’s not an issue that has had as much discussion

except, perhaps, the Cape’s on-again, off-again utilityexpansion project.

It’s time to move on. Council should reject the CRA plea to reconsider its

vote on the route. Understand, the utility line expansion project is as

vital to the Cape as the expansion of water and sewerutilities.

We do agree that in an ideal world where cost was noobject underground lines would be everyone’s prefer-ence. But we — and apparently a council majority —also understand the economic realities of why LCECdoesn’t want to OK millions of dollars in additionalcosts it would then need to pass on to all of its ratepay-ers.

Neither, of course, does the CRA or the city itself, noteven for the portion of the project passing through thedowntown.

We suggest a couple of things:Although the route has been selected, the CRA still

has the option of having the lines buried for what it saysis a key portion of the project — the block that runsbetween Southeast 8th Court and Southeast 9th Placealong Southeast 47th Terrace. A developer has pur-chased the entire parcel between Cape Coral Parkwayand 47th, a street CRA officials hope will become theheart of a new, much more upscale downtown.

The developer said this week he would pull plans onthe $180 million project to include a storied parkinggarage, 12-story condominium complex and variousother improvements if the lines are installed overhead.

Now the lines will not pass directly in front of thecomplex, the plans call for no pole on the block in ques-tion, but CRA officials say they agree with the develop-er — no one buying a luxury condo will want to look attransmission lines, even if they are across the streetwhere LCEC already has its substation.

Well, OK. The CRA has budgeted $1.9 million toward under-

grounding lines downtown and should consider allocat-ing some portion to keep this project on the table.Ballpark figures say even if the CRA foots the wholebill, the allocated amount is more than enough.

The CRA’s primary purpose is to clean up, mitigate

and prevent blight within the district. And its parallelmission is revitalization. It seems to us, if we take theCRA’s own definition of overhead lines literally, theagency may have a double opportunity here.

City council, which has rejected taking general fundmoney to pay for undergrounding, also has anotheroption — economic development funds. Take a look atdevelopment incentives. We’ve certainly heard enoughabout them —and spent enough money trying to “attractprojects.” If we have one ready to go, this might bemoney well spent.

Look, too, to the developer, who already is workingwith the city. He wants to build his parking garage com-ponent on city land and has offered various things tomake this happen including public parking and the offerof a police substation. Perhaps there’s some room forcompromise here.

Lastly, we urge LCEC and the CRA to continue dis-

cussions.Everyone agrees utility poles and power lines aren’t

architectural enhancements. Perhaps, though, there’s apossibility that the CRA could “trade up,” and get all orsome of the shorter polls removed by requesting the dis-tribution lines run below the transmission lines as in anarea of the north Cape. Remember, the route has beenapproved, the design and engineering phase is just get-ting under way. Remember, too, that while the trans-mission lines require higher poles, they require fewer ofthem.

Dual-use poles are something to consider and, ifcosts are not prohibitive, might make sense for DelPrado, too.

Keep the lines of communication open but move for-ward. It’s time.

CRA: Transmission line route will increase blight on Del Prado andDowntown; will scare off hundreds of millions of investment dollars

LCEC wants to run 75-foot tall transmis-sion lines down Del Prado Boulevard fromthe Mid Point Bridge to 47th Terrace in thedowntown and across 47th Terrace to theirsubstation in the heart of the downtown orCRA District.

On March 9 the City Council heard a pres-entation from LCEC regarding the transmis-sion route issue. Until then, LCEC has statedthat they were “route neutral” and had beenworking closely with the CommunityRedevelopment Agency to find a route thatdoes the least harm. They had steadfastlyclaimed that they needed a route chosen andthat the route was to be determined by CityCouncil.

Now, for the first time they are recom-mending a route, a recommendation madethat seems to maximize the fiscal harm thatwill be done to the city of Cape Coral. LCECrecommended this route, with full knowledgeof the planning, design and transportationpolicies and plans in place for the city and thedowntown area. Previously, when LCEC pre-sented to the CRA Board on Jan 29 and toCouncil on Feb 9 they asked for a route to bechosen. The City Council chose not to voteon the 9th due Councilmember Tate’sabsence.

On March 9 LCEC changed its approachand recommended a route that had not beenconsidered for several years. It should benoted that LCEC did not provide theCommunity Redevelopment Agency with acopy of their latest presentation nor did theydiscuss their 47th Terrace recommendationwith CRA staff.

The route selected was justified by LCECbecause it is the least cost, but in fact, it is oneof the most expensive routes for the city andfor the CRA. The route selected by LCECimpacts city-owned properties that were toserve as the catalyst for substantial redevelop-ment. These parking lots are essential, and arethe key to the future mixed-use redevelop-ment of South Cape. If the transmission linesrun along their northern border, these parkinglots will become blighted to the point that anysubstantial redevelopment will be precluded.This will result in the ultimate loss of millionsand millions of dollars in tax revenue and lostjobs.

The LCEC comment that this route willgive the CRA time to evaluate options oncedevelopment occurs shows a callous disre-

gard for the fiscal heath of the city and theCRA. Once the above ground lines are built,LCEC had informed the city and the CRAthat they would have to bear 100 percent ofthe costs of under grounding the lines and theremoval of the overhead lines — a cost thatwould make any such decision for the cityand the CRA economically not justified.

In effect, as stated above, the LCEC rec-ommended route could result in an adverseeffect on any major redevelopment north ofCape Coral Parkway. There are serious plan-ning and development implications that needto be investigated before this LCEC recom-mended route is implemented. The fact thatcurrent bids expire at the end of the monthwas no reason for the city to be strong-armedand threatened into a premature decision. Asit is possible given the current state of theeconomy and commodity prices, that costsare actually going down, and re-biddingwould bring in a lower cost.

Key Points for Consideration:By purposely recommending a route that

will destroy the development potential of

city-owned and privately owned property,LCEC would prevent the city from seekingpublic private partnerships in the redevelop-ment of its property. LCEC would be, in fact,creating an even greater blighting impactwithin the CRA.

This LCEC recommended route will havesubstantial negative effect on the future eco-nomic health of the city of Cape Coral as theroute is one that impacts city-owned realestate and indentures it to a future of small-scale minimal development. LCEC places thecity in the position of voting for a route thatimpacts residential voters or voting for a routethat destroys substantial economic opportuni-ty for the city and negates a decade of rede-velopment planning and code revisions—allin an effort to save itself money and benefitcustomers outside of the city limits.

Because of the role that the CRA hasplayed in educating the community about theissues and options available, it may be initial-ly perceived that the LCEC recommendationis retribution against the CRA for leading thechallenge questioning the unilateral LCECefforts to place transmission lines in the cityof Cape Coral. However, in effect what this

LCEC: Critical Cape Coral power line will keep the lights onBy now, we have all heard about mas-

sive power outages in recent years. In thenortheast approximately 50 million cus-tomers were impacted by a blackout in2003, and the economic costs wereastounding. Hurricanes that have impactedFlorida in recent years have had similareffects. These events emphasize theimportance of expanding infrastructure tomaintain a reliable electric system.

LCEC has a responsibility to deliverreliable electricity to our customers at acompetitive price. We take this responsi-bility very seriously. Our comprehensive10-year engineering and operations planensures we have the capacity to accommo-date increased demand and maintain relia-bility. Currently, one of the most criticalareas for concern is Cape Coral. Thatconcern has increased tremendously overthe past 10 years, and LCEC has beenworking to address the issue. Ensuring areliable power supply is critical to sustain-ing continued economic prosperity for thearea as well as addressing the health, safe-ty and welfare of residents.

Cape Coral City Council recently hadthe courage, leadership and vision to makea very difficult decision on a transmissionroute that had been under considerationfor nearly 10 years. Council memberstook the time to understand the situationso that they could make an informed deci-sion that was in the best interest of allCape Coral citizens. Their decision

between a route in the CRA district wherean LCEC substation is located and threeroutes running through residential areasoutside of the downtown area was notmade without many years of discussion,evaluation and analysis.

If you are reading about this issue forthe first time you might think it sounds cutand dry. However, due to increased pres-sure from the CRA, City Council may beasked to reconsider the route decision.Again they will be faced with consideringthe facts and making a decision in the bestinterest of Cape Coral citizens. Followingare some of the facts that should be con-sidered:

Why build a new line? Reliability and Capacity.The transmission line connects one

substation to another to create a “looped”system allowing for continued electricalservice even while repairs or maintenanceare taking place on another part of theelectric grid. An outage on the current linewould mean thousands of customersremain without power while the line isrepaired. Transmission lines often takeextended time to repair.

Why not put the lines underground?We can do that!

The benefit of underground lines is

visual appearance. Overhead constructionis less costly and delivers an acceptablelevel of reliability. For this reason it is thestandard on which LCEC rates are based.Because underground construction is abenefit to a certain segment of customers,the additional cost is the responsibility ofthe requesting party. If specific projectcosts exceed those necessary for accept-ably reliable service, LCEC will not passon those costs to all other LCEC cus-tomers through increased rates. Customersin other parts of the LCEC service territo-ry requesting underground lines are like-wise responsible for paying the extra costsif they request underground lines in theirarea and those costs are not passed on toCape Coral customers.

How much of a price difference arewe talking about?

There are many price variables.LCEC pays for the cost to install new

infrastructure using the most cost-effec-tive methods — in this case, overheadlines. Underground differential costsrelate to location, terrain, design, materi-als, permitting and labor. LCEC wouldstill pay the amount allocated for overheadconstruction and the requestor would paycosts incurred above and beyond to installunderground. Recent bid comparisons for

other routes indicate the differential to bebetween $4 and $6 million but the price iscontingent on the scope of the project.

Would the new line serve other cus-tomers also?

Electric grids generally function as anetwork to serve many customers.

Electricity serving Cape Coral comesfrom a transmission line originating inNorth Fort Myers and travels on to Sanibeland Pine Island. For that reason, the over-head installation cost is included in baserates because all customers benefit.Should an outage occur on existing trans-mission lines, LCEC ensures that power isdelivered to the largest number of cus-tomers possible without risking additionalfailure on the grid. A looped systemallows for re-routing of power to serve thearea where the outage occurs.

Why wasn’t some other route select-ed?

Many routes, along with this one, havebeen considered over the past 10 yearsthis project has been discussed.

LCEC recommended the route that wasapproved by the Council in an effort toaddress both citizen and council members’concerns with alternative routes. In themany discussions over the past years,LCEC has repeatedly expressed its view

Court fight — 2009; it’s the taxpayers statewide who loseTough times should bring out the best

in people. Faced with lower revenues,governmental agencies are just like theirprivate sector brothers and sisters…shorton cash. This situation holds a tremen-dous opportunity for collaboration on alllevels of government. It is unfortunatefor taxpayers as well as some govern-mental folks that this spirit of workingtogether never showed.

Instead of common goals, we see self-serving interests taking center stage inmany agencies. One such conflict flaredwhen the Florida Supreme Court pushedtwo identical legislative bills, one in theFlorida House and one in the FloridaSenate, wanting the Florida Legislatureto give the state courts control of the

Florida Clerks’ duties and revenue. For over a century and a half,

Florida’s Clerks were and at thismoment still are the record keepers, incourt clerks, and cashiers for the courts.But with the economic crunch hittingacross every agency the courts havedecided to push their agenda.Misinformation is being pushed by eventhe Chief Justice of the Florida SupremeCourt. The cry fills the ears of legisla-tors, lawyers and local judges. The chantis “the courts can save the state$200,000,000 if we consolidate andcontrol the activities of the clerks”.

Clerks have responded with massiveamounts of numbers showing that in factthe numbers provided by the courts arenot accurate or complete. In short, thebattle is on.

The loser is the Florida taxpayers andthe Florida Legislators. Taxpayers losebecause trust in the courts and in clerkshas been damaged and the cost for thefight is borne by all. The FloridaLegislators lose valuabletime plus, having to be puton the spot makes it diffi-cult …who do you “love”?

As the battle continues

with all parties on edge, there is stilltime for olive branches and cooperation,but the ticking is getting louder and thesounds more damaging. Without mutualrespect for each other, all of us inFlorida are in the loss column. Stop thisnow and reach across the divide and startworking together on how to make itwork better. What have we got to gain …a courthouse working together for every-one!

action by LCEC may be is an effort to bothpunish the city and the CRA for exercisingtheir responsibility to protect the publichealth, safety and welfare. The initial questionis why a rural electric cooperative should berunning transmission lines more appropriatefor rural areas through the middle of an evolv-ing city, thereby forever indenturing the realestate to small-scale uses.

LCEC claims this is the least cost route.Again, to who? The costs to the city and pri-vate property owners are immense. Where isthe analysis that this is the least cost route? Nodetailed cost analysis has ever been providedby LCEC in this or any other presentation. Afair analysis should show both the costimpacts on LCEC and the cost impacts onfuture tax revenue to the city and county, andthe diminution in value to the surrounding pri-vate property owners.

Also, the Zoning regulations REQUIREnew construction and renovations to bringbuildings to the street in the CRA districts.How will this be possible with a transmissionline on the edge of the property?

Again, LCEC suggests that building theabove ground transmission line now will givethe CRA time so that once development is

being planned, it and the city can best deter-mine the potential and timing for under-grounding the line. They are serious aboutthis comment!! To later underground thetransmission line will require the city, theCRA and the developer to pay not only thefull cost of underground but the removal ofthe new overhead lines. This is quite a differ-ent cost than simply paying for the differencebetween overhead and underground lines on aroute not so intentionally designed to saveLCEC money, yet inflict maximum financialharm on the city and CRA.

Currently, one developer who is in permit-ting right now will have to bear the burden ofmoving one of the transmission poles on 47thTerrace. The developer has informed citystaff that he will begin construction immedi-ately once the PDP is granted. This develop-ment is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.This development is directly across the streetfrom the sub station on 47th Terrace andencompasses an entire city block. Should theLCEC recommended route be implemented,the developer will now not be relocating onepole, but having to deal with a transmissionline across his northern edge.

The blighting influence of the transmis-sion line on Del Prado hasn’t been adequate-ly discussed. There are more residential units

on Del Prado then there are on either 46thStreet or 46th Lane. Having a transmissionline running past hundreds of condominiums,townhomes, churches and commercial busi-nesses will seriously erode their economicvalue in similar fashion to any street in theRedevelopment Area.

And, finally —A New Option Proposedby LCEC

LCEC has, however, offered a new option.In separate communication with the city ofCape Coral they state that they could reengi-neer the line on Santa Barbara to carry theadditional power they state is needed for theSouthwest, Southeast, Sanibel and Captiva.The expansion of the capacity of these exist-ing lines would, at least, result in not blightingany more of our city.

LCEC may argue, however, that theredundant circuit they seek down Del Prado isto guarantee an alternate way of routingpower in Cape Coral in the event of an emer-gency and this need will not be solved byincreasing the capacity on Santa Barbara.

It should be noted that transmission lineshave few failures, it is the distribution linesthat are most often toppled by trees in storms.At our last meeting, LCEC’s Mr. Fuson stat-ed that there have only been four failures of

transmission lines in LCEC history. For over40 years South Cape Coral has survived with-out a redundant power line.

In Conclusion:The CRA will be at the Council meeting to

present the points covered in this memo.Concerned citizens should attend. The meet-ing starts at 4:30 p.m.

A calm thoughtful evaluation of the situa-tion is called for. The need is NOT dire.LCEC states the need for increased capacityand redundancy. For the first time in its his-tory, LCEC has lost customers, approximate-ly 9,000 in 2008. Rampant growth is notoccurring and is unlikely to occur for manyyears. The area of concern has lived withoutredundancy for 40 years and can probablysurvive without it for a few more years.

Before we blight two major thoroughfaresof Cape Coral, Del Prado Boulevard and 47thTerrace in the downtown, this issue should beevaluated a lot more carefully. I hope theCouncil will rescind their vote and postpone adecision until we can consult experts andmake a well studied decision that will benefitthe needs of the City of Cape Coral.

John R. JacobsenExecutive Director

CRA: Cape City Council should rescind vote on power line routeFrom page 5A

LCEC: Power lines enhance, not detract, from economic developmentthat it is neutral as to the route that isapproved, and is more concerned aboutaddressing reliability needs solved by“looping” the electrical grid in Cape Coral.Despite statements to the contrary by those

opposed to the project, time is of theessence and any of the proposed routes todate would be acceptable to LCEC.

Do overhead lines mean the end ofeconomic development?

Absolutely not.On the contrary, a reliable, cost com-

petitive source of electricity has proven toincrease development in Cape Coral sincethe first pole was installed in 1958.Reliable electricity is part of what makes athriving business district. LCEC continuesto work with developers to find ways toco-exist in a manner which is mutuallybeneficial. There are many options, and

LCEC has worked hard over the past 10years to minimize the impact while stillfulfilling our responsibility to keep thelights on for all of our customers in anequitable manner.

Of the 30,000 businesses in Cape Coral,how many are in offices and strip malls?Maybe you should get all the facts before yourun around crying the world is coming to anend and exaggerating. Here are just a fewthings for you to ponder and should you likesome scientific facts I can surely supply youwith all you need.

1. Well-cared for lawns can significantlyincrease property values.

2. A healthy lawn is of utmost importanceto our environment. A 50-foot by 50-footlawn produces enough oxygen for a family offour.

3. Healthy lawns cool the atmosphere.Eight healthy front lawns alone have the cool-ing effect of 70 tons of air conditioning.Which is enough for 16 average homes.

4. Grass converts carbon dioxide to oxy-gen. A process that contaminants and trap-ping soil from erosion. Fresh filtered waterreturns to the underground water supply.

Mr. Veaux, we do have a need for healthybeautiful lawns, without fertilizer we cannotachieve this.

I strongly urge everyone to contact yourcouncilman and the mayor with the real facts.Send them a copy of these few facts that Ihave listed. Believe me there are plenty morethan this that are available should you do yourresearch.

Spitting in the face of Americans

To the editor:American International Group (A.I.G.) is

making a mockery of the stimulus program,making a fool of President Obama, theadministration and the Congress and is laugh-ing all the way to the bank. After cryingpoverty and begging for money, $170 billionwas given to this gang of scammers, who thenturn around and give away $165 million to

the exact “monkeys” who caused this prob-lem in the first place.

Talk about rewarding people for beingdumb, crooked, or both, this is the ultimateslap in the face to the American taxpayer.

The president says he’s outraged. TheCongress screams even louder, babblingabout morality and the lack of it. SecretaryGeitner looks puzzled about what to do next.And, the president’s press secretary looks likehumpty dumpty as he stands before themedia, making noise but saying nothingmeaningful.

We need action, and need it now. We needevery Congress person to demand immediatearrests and prosecutions of every A.I.G. bumwho has recklessly ruined the stimulus pro-gram. This not a Republican or Democraticissue, this is a matter of Congress peopledoing their jobs and standing up for theAmericans they have sworn to protect.Congress people, if you won’t do your jobs,at least, stand up, do the right thing andresign. We don’t need conversation while thisrape is in progress, we need action, today,right now immediately!

Congress people have lost the respect ofthe American people, and the Obama admin-istration looks very weak. This is an opportu-nity to put a better face on what is obviouslya conglomeration of babbling idiots.

Council members need to remember whenTo the editor:

Do you remember when: you were on theother side of the dais, speaking out againstdecisions made by the mayor and council?

Do you remember being angry when youonly had three minutes of citizens input, andyour concerns “allegedly” were not heard?

Do you remember not having a chance for

rebuttal?Do your remember being frustrated

enough, then deciding to run for city councilrepresentative to be a “public servant?”

Do you remember thinking or saying thatyou could and would make a difference? Forthe people? With their input?

Do you remember the platform you ranon? What promises you made? What youwanted to accomplish if elected to be ourpublic servant whether half term, one term ormore?

Do you remember walking door to doorduring your campaign spreading the “goodnews” that you could be better than yourcounterpart? That as a public servant, youwould listen and act upon our concerns? Thatyou would have town hall meetings to betterinform us? That you would do everything inyour power to make Cape Coral a better placeto live for all of us? That you would respectour opinions and spend our money wisely?

We are in a deep recession. Together withinput from everyone, we can recover! Not bytaxing and spending, but rather by diminish-ing fat from the ever ballooning budget.

“If you say you can, you will; if you sayyou can’t, you won’t!”

Sexual health funding policies affecting teens

To the editor:There is a crisis in Florida. Our young

people are facing some of the worst sexualhealth outcomes in the country, but, still, thestate accepts federal funding for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.Floridareceived approximately $13 million in feder-al money in 2008 for these failed programsthat are ineffective and harmful.

A 2007 study, commissioned by the fed-eral government, found no evidence thatabstinence-only-until-marriage programscurb sexual behavior.

Florida has the third highest AIDS rate inthe U.S. and, in 2007, individuals under theage of 25 accounted for 15 percent of newHIV infections. The state’s teen pregnancyrate is the sixth highest in the nation. Florida’steen birth rate also increased in 2006 for thefirst time in 15 years and is 3 percent higherthan the national average. Between 1991-2004 there have been more than 354,000teen births in Florida resulting in costs to the

state of $8.1 billion. And yet, the state pur-sues the failed path of abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.

The report released recently by theHealthy Teens Campaign and the SexualityInformation and Education Council of theU.S. (SIECUS) adds additional rationale forwhy Florida needs to abandon these pro-grams. Abstinence-only-until-marriage cur-ricula often contain outdated material andmedically inaccurate information that toooften rely on fear and shame-based tactics todiscourage sexual activity. In these programs,young people are not engaged or empoweredto critically analyze sexual situations leavingthem ill equipped to protect themselvesshould they chose to become sexually active.

By ignoring the facts and accepting feder-al funding, the state is risking the health of itsyouth. It is time to join nearly half of the otherstates and refuse ineffective abstinence-only-until-marriage funding.

Florida urgently needs to adopt a realisticapproach to sex education, and thanks to StateRep. Keith Fitzgerald this could become areality. He has just introduced the HealthyTeens Act (HB 265) which will requireFlorida public schools to teach a comprehen-sive sex ed curriculum.

Memorial services will be conducted6:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 25, atFort Myers Memorial Gardens FuneralHome, 1589 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers.

Fort Myers Memorial Gardens

Funeral Home is in charge of arrange-ments.

Martha Jane MacomberMartha Jane Macomber, 89, known to

family and friends as Janie, passed awayMarch 18, 2009, from Alzheimer’s.

Born in Detroit on Feb. 1, 1920, toNewton Warner and Martha HenseyCollord, she was a teenage Girl Scoutlifeguard and swimming became a life-long form of relaxation.

She graduated in 1938 from CentralHigh School in Detroit and in 1942 fromDenison University in Granville, Ohio,with a degree in Spanish. She was amember of Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanishlanguage honorary society. During hersenior year, she was president of hersorority.

Shortly after graduating, she marriedher college sweetheart, Robert “Bob” C.Macomber, and they went on to raise afamily of four children in Canton, Ohio,where her husband became one of themost noted structural steel engineers inthe nation.

In 1963 they moved to the small townof Cape Coral as modern day pioneers,where she and Bob started a steel busi-ness in Fort Myers, ROMAC Steel Co.,Inc., that developed into an internationalsuccess. She worked as her husband’ssecretary for many years, and in the early’60s, volunteered as a “Gray Lady”nurse at Tropical Isles Elementary inNorth Fort Myers.

Sharing her husband’s love for avia-tion, Mrs. Macomber graduated from theAOPA’s Pinch-Hitter and Survivalcourses, and flew with him throughout

the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala and theBahamas.

She loved her family, sharing adven-tures with her devoted husband; her chil-dren, Mary Jane Herman Morris, RichardC. (Alice Ann) Macomber, Lawrence C.Macomber and Robert N. Macomber;nine grandchildren; four great-grandchil-dren; and one great-great-grandchild.

The family will receive friendsMonday, March 23, from 1-2 p.m., and amemorial service will be conducted at 2p.m. at the Harvey-Engelhardt-MetzFuneral Home, 1600 Colonial Blvd.,Fort Myers.

needed to prevent lengthy outages whenservice is interrupted due to a breakdownin the existing transmission lines. Thesoutheast Cape area is the only place in thecity not served by a “loop” system, whereelectric service can be rerouted if powergoes down somewhere else in the system.

The capacity of the overall system isanother justification for the lines. Lassitersaid that transmission lines along SantaBarbara Boulevard and AgualindaBoulevard are close to being overloaded.

“If one of those lines goes down, 28percent of customers in Cape Coral would

be without power,” Lassiter said.Already a difficult issue, the problem

has been compounded by fiscal constraintson all parties imposed by the economic cri-sis.

LCEC will install overhead lines at nocost to the city, but asks for the CRA or thecity to pay the difference between over-head lines and the more expensive under-ground lines if underground lines areapproved. Various bids solicited by LCECshow that difference between $4 millionand $6 million, depending on the route andthe length of the underground lines.

The CRA committed $1.9 milliontowards undergrounding the lines in thedowntown, but the city is unlikely to pick

up the remaining tab.Facing an estimated 35 percent drop in

property values next year, council mem-bers are currently trying to cut $10 millionfrom the budget.

Meanwhile, one developer with plansfor a $180 million project along 47thTerrace publicly stated he would scrap theproject if the overhead lines are installed.

“If those poles go down, I’m not goingto build,” Robbie Lee of IslandDevelopment told CRA board membersduring their meeting Tuesday.

His plans include a six-story parkinggarage topped by high-rise condos, withthe overall project spanning the entireblock between Southeast 8th Court and

Southeast 9th Place, bordered by 47thTerrace on the north and Cape CoralParkway on the south.

Lassiter said the lines can still go under-ground — if the CRA is willing to pay forit.

“They could go out for a bond and payfor it. If they really have all these projectsthat are coming though, they can use TIF(tax increment funds) to pay for it thatway,” Lassiter said.

City Councilmembers will take up theissue Monday after the petition from theCRA to reconsider the route down 47thTerrace.

The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. at cityhall .

installation of such amenities.That is the assessment of city

spokesperson Connie Barron, respondingto claims the city could be liable to payback the builders along Pine Island Roadsince 2003 for the installation of side-walks, curbs, and gutters when the city’sregulations did not require it.

Joe Mazurkiewicz, former mayor ofCape Coral and president of BJMConsulting, which represents severalclients along Pine Island Road, said the

costs to the city could be “in the millionsof dollars.”

The city’s Land Use andDevelopment Regulations call for devel-opers to pay for sidewalks, curbs, andgutters, but that currently only applies toareas zoned as “Commercial,”“Professional,” “Downtown,” and“Marketplace-Residential.” Most of landon either side of Pine Island Road iszoned as “Corridor,” with some areasdesignated as “Village.”

Barron, however, said that often dur-ing the process of getting a developmentapproved a council member, Planning &Zoning Board members, or city stafferswill hinge approval of the project on theinstallation of sidewalks, curbs, and gut-ters.

“Just because something is not in thezoning that doesn’t mean council or staffcannot request that they add it,” Barronsaid.

Without information about a certain

development, she added, more informa-tion could not be given.

Mazurkiewicz is currently gaugingthe interest of developers along PineIsland Road in the situation and has spo-ken with attorneys who back his claim.He declined to say which specific devel-opments he is engaging with on theissue, saying it would be premature to doso.

wounded in the field, said Richard Jones,co-director of the National Military andVeterans Alliance.

“Most folks felt this is a nationalresponsibility of a noble nation and not aresponsibility of a segment of the privatesector, but a responsibility of allAmericans for those who defend andprotect their freedom,” said Jones.

Soldiers who have left the militarycurrently have their insurance companiespay for issues not related to their service— such as a car accident or sports injuryat home — but taxpayers have beenresponsible for covering health problemsthat arose in the field.

When a soldier is in active dutythey’re covered medically by theDepartment of Defense, but as soon asthey leave the military their medical

treatments are picked up by theDepartment of Veteran’s Affairs.

According to Kim Gaide, coordinatorof Lee Memorial Health System’sMilitary Support group, many local vet-erans and their families were furiousover the proposed change.

Veteran advocates discovered the pro-posal after they noticed a 36 percentincrease in the amount of insurance pay-ments collected by the VA in the 2010proposed budget, said Davis.

“A lot of them (local veterans) wentonline to the Veterans of Foreign Warsand sent Obama their opinion,” saidGaide. “We are relieved for right nowbut the vote is up in April so we are sit-ting tight.”

Officials pointed out that this propos-al may have caused insurance companies

to increase premiums and make it diffi-cult for veterans to obtain private insur-ance.

Jones said President Barack Obamaand House Speaker Nancy Pelosi prom-ised the NMVA that the proposal hasbeen eliminated from the 2010 budgetpackage, but the official outline won’t bereleased until April.

“I think we can take assurance thatthis is no longer under consideration,”said Jones.

This proposal was likely generated bythe Office of Management and Budget,he said, as a way to reduce some expen-ditures. Now that U.S. forces are reen-gaging in Afghanistan it is unlikely anyproposal increasing a veteran’s medicalbills would stand.

Joe Davis, spokesperson for Veteran’sof Foreign Wars, said the president with-drew this specific proposal onWednesday. He added that the proposalalso included many laudable initiativesbesides the controversial change.

“Nobody in the veterans communityknows what the reason was behind it.What we are concerned about is that theproposal is dead,” said Davis.

Obama’s new budget for the VAreportedly increases disability compen-sation and retirement pay for medicallyretired veterans, targets access to care forrural veterans and increases funding forsoldiers to join the VA system.

Cape man charged in reported molestation of 6-year-old By CONNOR [email protected]

A Cape Coral man is accused ofmolesting a 6-year-old while babysittingthe child and another youth in his homelast June.

Sebastio Filho Beraldo Jr., 38, wasarrested on a warrant by Cape Coraldetectives Thursday on felony charges ofmolesting a victim under 12 years old byan offender over 18 and battery of achild with bodily fluids.

He remained in the Lee County Jail

Friday evening on a combined $60,000bond.

Detective Brice Bearman issued thewarrant for Beraldo’s arrest inDecember, at the tail-end of an investi-gation that stemmed from allegationsmade to investigators with theDepartment of Children and Families.

The allegations came several daysafter the alleged incident, during whichDCF investigator Hailey Tucker was toldthe 6-year-old was touched inappropri-ately.

Sally Beckett, a Child ProtectiveTeam investigator, interviewed the chil-dren in July. During the interviews, alle-gations were made that Beraldo hadtouched the victim’s buttocks and geni-tals with his genitals, and also had uri-nated on the victim.

Beraldo met with detective Bearmanand officer Luis Diaz in July, and deniedthe allegations made against him,according to Beraldo’s arrest warrant.

Beraldo said he was sleeping on thefloor with the victim, and that it was the

victim who had urinated while sleeping,the warrant states.

Bearman executed a body warrant forDNA evidence and obtained oral swabsfrom Beraldo, entering them into evi-dence, he reported.

Bearman found probable cause tocharge Beraldo and issued a warrant forhis arrest, which was served Thursday atapproximately 4:10 p.m.

Beraldo was taken to the Lee CountyJail in apparent good health, the arrestreport states.

local events in Cape Coral. It started in1986 when 19 teams in Washington raised$33,000 and today it has spawned into anational event. Now it delivers millions ofdollars to the American Cancer Societyannually.

“It makes me speechless to see so manyof you out there,” said Mary O’Toole,event chair shortly after the event began at6 p.m. Friday.

Each year the relay has grown substan-tially and new groups have signed up. TheCape Coral High School JROTC enrolledthis year for the first time and raised$813.78 in two weeks.

Tracey Demarest, community represen-tative, said that as of Friday night the relayhad collected $95,000, a little more thanhalf of the total goal this year.Contributions were accepted throughoutthe rest of the night and the grand total willbe announced Saturday afternoon.

For the relay, teams sign up to walk thehigh school track throughout the nightwhile raising money for cancer. This year’shonorary chairperson was ChansenSavakinus, a second grade student at OasisCharter, who was diagnosed with cancerand couldn’t attend the opening celebrationbecause of his health.

It’s kicked off every year with a first lap

by survivors of cancer and a second lapwith their caregivers. Following is theremainder of the walkers who carry spiritsticks as they relay.

When the sun sets on Friday night manyof the attendants light a luminaria, or asmall bag with a candle inside, to honorsomeone who has survived or passed awayfrom cancer. One organizer selling lumi-narias at the high school said she sold morethan 100, but many of them were pur-chased online in advance.

Throughout the night the relay holdsspirit stick judging, cook-off contests,activities for children, karaoke, live musicand a pajama contest. The theme for thisyear’s relay was “Marga-relay-ville.”

Cheryl Leftwich, a member of theAmerican Cancer Society board, said all ofthe proceeds will go to finding a cure.More than $100 million from events allover the country will be applied to cancerresearch.

“Everything you are doing this eveningwill go towards saving someone’s life,”said Leftwich. “That is why we relay, toprovide services to our survivors.”

According to the American CancerSociety, there were 1.4 million new casesof cancer reported in 2008 and it is consid-ered the second leading cause of death.

no to replacing the position to save$100,000 — the price tag of the boardauditor position — to deal with the wors-ening economy.

If the agreement is approved Tuesday,the school board will be able to order auditson a case-by-case basis. According toClerk of Courts Charlie Green, the officewill provide an estimate of services percase and charge the district a much lowerrate in the long run.

He also said his services to the schooldistrict are similar to those he performs forthe county.

“We review areas that they want us tolook at and make sure people are in com-

pliance,” he said.Green’s office can perform either proce-

dural audits to make sure the district’soperations are sound, as well as financialaudits to make sure all transactions areproper.

Board member Jeanne Dozier brokeredthe deal with Green’s office when debateover the need for an auditor reached a feverpitch. She believes that the board willapprove the agreement next week.

“All of the board members indicatedthey are supportive of it, and I don’t seeany reason why it wouldn’t go through,”said Dozier. “It is an example of using tax-payer dollars to be more efficient in what

we do.”The board hasn’t held a collective dis-

cussion on what areas should be audited byGreen, but Dozier said she wants to makesure the school district is being as efficientas possible with funding. Specifically shewould like Green to look into academics toensure schools are getting the best deals.

“Anywhere where we can save dollarsis where I’m interested in him looking,”said Dozier.

One of the main advocates for contract-ing an auditor has been Board memberRobert Chilmonik who has repeatedlyexpressed his concern over what he says isa lack of financial controls.

“It is my hope that the recommendationwill pass because we desperately need theservices of an auditor in the school dis-

trict,” said Chilmonik. “We have beenwithout those services for a year and it is a$1.5 billion organization that needs con-stant oversight and review.”

At the end of January he sent a letter toa number of state officials describing “aninadequate fiscal oversight of a multibil-lion dollar budget.”

His concerns included the district’salleged inadequate record system, allega-tions of bartering on construction job sitesand cases of the same job happening morethan once.

“I still have concerns that I’ve alreadydetailed and forwarded to the state,” saidChilmonik. “Whether that is a proposaltaken by the board is undeterminedbecause we haven’t had a workshop.”

Another of the big draws for the two-day event is the candy drop for kids,which allows children to scramble wildlyfor the confectionery treats as they fallfrom the sky.

Stickler said at least 100 kids line upfor the big drop. But no fear, the kidswho aren’t able to snag some sweet treatsget candy anyway.

“We have children come out and lineup on the field and when the candy dropsthey take off, then our volunteers handout candy to kids who don’t get any,”Stickler said. “It’s been pretty popularover the years ... its not the air showwithout the candy drop.”

It’s all part of the family orientedentertainment, which is spread out overboth days, and featuring vendors, food,drinks, and prizes for registered pilots.

Stickler said he had been very busyover the last few days leading up to theevent, registering pilots and setting upbarricades.

“After I take a shower I hope I canrelax, but I’ll be back out at the fieldbefore 8 a.m.,” he said. “Registrationopens at 8 a.m., and flying commences atabout 9:15.”

For those looking for the belovedcandy drop, the big candy splash happensaround noon, when the pilots take abreak.

INTERNATIONAL

Iraq Budget woes forcesecurity hiring freeze

UMM QASR (AP) — The dropin oil prices has forced Iraq’s mili-tary and police to put recruiting onhold even as the U.S. hands overmore responsibility for protectingthe country.

The freeze is stalling efforts tohire Sunni ex-insurgents and hasprompted the Iraqi military to trans-fer hundreds of soldiers to the navyto protect vital oil installations in thePersian Gulf.

Iraq will also have to scale backpurchases of equipment andweapons, raising new questionsabout its ability to defend the coun-try’s borders and prevent a resur-gence of violence.

All this comes as the Iraqi mili-tary is preparing for the 2011 depar-ture of U.S. forces, who often pro-vide everything from clean drinkingwater to fuel.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With states eager tospend, President Barack Obama announced guidelinesFriday aimed at preventing waste and fraud and limit-ing the influence lobbyists will have in carrying out the$787 billion economic stimulus program.

“This plan cannot and will not be an excuse forwaste and abuse,” Obama declared.

The rules, he said, “will help ensure that we areproving ourselves worthy of the great trust theAmerican people have placed in us.” Obama also toldstate legislators gathered at the White House that deci-sions about how money will be spent will be based onthe merits of creating the most jobs and helpingreverse the recession.

“They will not be made as a way of doing favorsfor lobbyists,” he said.

To help ensure that special interests don’t stymiestimulus efforts, Obama said his administration wouldpost on the Internet all requests by lobbyists who wantto talk to any member of his administration about par-ticular projects that would involve using the moneyfrom the Economic Recovery Act.

All requests must be in writing, and details from

meetings between Obama’s administration and lobby-ists about stimulus projects also will be posted online,the president said.

Obama said the administration will give priority toprojects that create numerous jobs “so we can get themost bang out of every single taxpayer buck” andthose that will help make health care more affordableand rebuild roads and bridges in the future.

Telling lawmakers he’s trying to lead by example,Obama said he nixed a request to update electrical andheating systems in the East Wing of the White House,the first family’s residence, because it won’t createmany jobs or hasten the economic turnaround.

Still, Obama lobbied for money in a future bill, say-ing: “This is a much-needed project. It is long overdue,and I hope Congress funds it in the future.”

States told to use money carefully

CAPE CANAVERAL (AP) — Astronauts suc-cessfully unfurled the newly installed solar wings atthe international space station Friday, a nerve-rackingprocedure that went exceedingly well and brought theorbiting outpost to full power.

To NASA’s relief, both wings went out smoothly,one at a time. Nothing hung up, and none of the pan-els stuck together like they had on previous panels.

The wings stretched more than 240 feet, a glisten-ing golden hue in the sunlight and a dazzling sight forthe astronauts and everyone else involved.

“It’s just really amazing,” said Mike Fincke, thespace station’s skipper. He said there was “a shout oftriumph” aboard the linked station-shuttle complexonce the two wings were fully extended.

The work was a highlight of shuttle Discovery’smission. Completed 220 miles above Earth, the newpanels are the final pair of electricity-generating

wings and should boost the amount of scienceresearch at the orbiting outpost.

“Great work, guys,” Mission Control told theastronauts. “We’ve got a whole bunch of happy peo-ple down here,”

The long, deliberate procedure began the morningafter this last set of solar wings was hooked up to theorbiting complex.

Right on cue, astronaut John Phillips pushed thebutton that commanded the first wing to start unfurl-ing. It slowly stretched out like a folded-up map.When the wing was halfway open, Phillips stoppedthe motion for nearly an hour so the panels could soakup sunlight and be less likely to stick.

The second wing, which had been boxed up foryears, opened just as easily. A slight crinkle was spot-ted near the bottom, but flattened when the wing wasstretched out.

Space station’s new solar wings open

“This plan cannot and will not be anexcuse for waste and abuse.”

— President Barack Obama

WednesdayHomeowners filelawsuit againstbuilder for drywall

When Joyce and SonnyDowdy bought their

home in Coral Lakes ayear ago, the drywallused to construct thehouse was the lastthing on their minds.On Tuesday, theDowdys, along with

at least three otherfamilies in the north

Cape Coral neighbor-hood, filed a class

action lawsuitagainst EngleHomes, builder ofthe 300 single-family homes and66 townhousesthat compriseCoral Lakes. In

July, the Dowdys replaced their airconditioning coil after it turnedfrom its original copper toblack — an alleged symp-tom of the defective dry-wall — and also beganto notice a foul odor thatwas giving Sonnyheadaches and insom-nia. The suspect drywallis made of naturallymined gypsum and hasbeen most heavily linkedto Knauf PlasterboardTianjin, a German-based company thatmanufactures thedrywall in China.

CRAapprovestrial trolley servicefor downtown area

A San Francisco treat is comingto Cape Coral. Instead of three-minute rice, the downtown areawill witness a three-month trialperiod of two trolleys that willtransport passengers to destina-tions along Cape Coral Parkwayand Southeast 47th Terrace. TheCape Coral CommunityRedevelopment Agency passed aproposal Tuesday to lease the trol-leys for $78,000 over the three-month span. The trolleys will runfor a total of 27 hours each over thecourse of Fridays and Saturdaysduring the trial period — exact runtimes have not been determined—and will begin “as soon as possi-ble.” CRA Boardmember LouSimmons pushed for the trolleys,developing a contract proposalwith Trolley Enterprises after aplan to lease trolleys from theNaples Trolley System fellthrough. CRA staffers, boardmem-bers and members of the publicwere offered a ride on the trolleybefore the vote.

Developer may halt$180M project due tooverhead power lines

A $180 million developmentproject is in jeopardy as a result ofa decision by the Cape Coral CityCouncil last week to install over-head power lines along Southeast47th Terrace. The developer hadan eye toward building a 450,000-square-foot, mixed-use develop-ment spanning a full block along47th Terrace, but said he will pullthe plug on the deal if the councildoes not reconsider its vote toplace 77-foot-tall transmissionlines on the street. Robbie Lee,owner of Island Development,spoke before Cape CoralCommunity RedevelopmentAgency Board members Tuesday.Lee’s proposal is the type of devel-opment coveted by the CRA, andits boardmembers resolvedTuesday to ask council members toreconsider their position duringMonday’s council meeting.

ThursdayStudents shine athistory competition

Results of the 2009 LeeCounty History Fair show thatCape Coral students are in the topthree among others from across thecounty. Twelve middle and fivehigh schools participated in the his-tory fair that has been a staple inthe county for the past 16 years.

This year’s theme was “TheIndividual in History: Actions andLegacies,” which asked students toexamine the lives of important his-torical figures in their projects. InLee County, students covered aplethora of individuals rangingfrom Andy Warhol to Alexanderthe Great. Each year the themechanges, explained Tamara Hagen,a teacher at Cypress Lake Middleand district history fair coordinator.Last year it was “Conflict andCompromise,” and next year it willbe “Innovations in History.” Thereare seven categories for students tochoose from in the history fair —an individual exhibit, group exhib-it, historical paper, individual doc-umentary, group documentary,individual performance and groupperformance.

Residents, officialsreview plans forcharter high school

Residents got a glimpseWednesday night of a new highschool being constructed for thecity of Cape Coral Charter SchoolSystem. The school, which has

been in the works for sometime, will allow graduat-

ing middle school stu-dents the opportunityto continue theirstudies within thecharter system. Atthe meeting of theSouthwest Cape

Coral NeighborhoodAssociation, plans for

the new municipalcharter school — Oasis

High — were ondisplay. Thetwo-story con-crete building,designed with a“campus atmos-phere” in mind,

will house students in a total of50,000 square feet. Dr. Lee Bush,administrator for the charterschools, said that after opening in2003, the charter system has seena steady increase in student enroll-ment. Today, enrollment at the ele-mentary and middle schools are atfull capacity with a waiting list.

FridayOversight couldhave city stuck

Since 2003, Cape Coral hasrequired builders along Pine IslandRoad to pay for sidewalks, curbsand gutters as part of the develop-ment. There is only one problem— language requiring developersto pay for sidewalks, curbs andgutters was not, and is not, in thecity’s regulations governing thedesignated land use along the road.The majority of land that lines PineIsland Road is zoned as “corridor,”with some areas designated as “vil-lage.” Section 3.17.1 of the city’sLand Use and DevelopmentRegulations, which calls onbuilders to pay for the installationof sidewalks, curbs and gutters,only pertains to land uses designat-ed as “commercial,” “profession-al,” “downtown” and “market-place-residential.” JoeMazurkiewicz, former Cape mayorand president of BJM Consulting,which represents several clientsalong the road, said the costsincurred by builders is staggering.

More Coral Lakesresidents mull suitover foreign drywall

First, Coral Lakes homeownerssaw their home values drop dra-matically. Then they saw many oftheir neighbors, underwater ontheir mortgages, walk away fromtheir homes. That led to two spe-cial assessments that totaled $900to make up for shortfalls in thedues paid to the homeowner’sassociation. Now, many neighbor-hood residents must deal withallegedly defective drywall import-ed from China. About 80 residentsof the north Cape Coral neighbor-hood gathered in the communityclubhouse Thursday to hear fromlawyers already representing fourCoral Lakes families suing EngleHomes, the developer of the sin-gle-family homes and townhouses.David Durkee, partner with theCoral Gables law firm Roberts &Durkee, filed the lawsuit Tuesdayagainst Engle Homes and its parentcompany, TOUSA Homes. Hecalled his efforts to get compensa-tion for affected homeowners sim-ply the right thing to do.

TThough North Carolina’s bas-ketball team can take reliefin knowing Ty Lawson like-

ly will be back for Saturday’s second-round NCAA Tournament gameagainst LSU, there’s still this naggingmatter of Danny Green’s shootingtouch.

In Thursday’s 101-58 victory overridiculously overmatched Radford inGreensboro, the Green glass waseither half full or half broken,depending upon your perspective.

On one hand, the senior forwardscored 15 points and looked morecomfortable with his shot. On theother hand, he was playing against ateam that ran out of juice about 10minutes into the game. Not onlythat, he missed eight of 14 shots,including a couple from short rangeand two of his three three-pointattempts.

Green, who had missed 35 of hisprevious 45 field-goal attempts,looked first to the positive.

“It’s an improvement. That’simportant,” he said. “I felt good onmy shots, and it gave me some confi-dence when I got off to a decentstart.”

But ... “I’m still not hitting shotsthe way I should be,” he said. “I dothink it’s coming around, though.”

Green led the Tar Heels inrebounding with 10 in 29 minutes,and was effective on defense withthree steals and several disruptions.

“Danny’s going to be fine,”Lawson said. “He’s gone through atough couple of games, but he’s fight-ing through it. He’s going to makebig shots when we need ‘em fromhim.”

Which likely will be Saturdayagainst an LSU team awash in quick-ness and versatility.

En route to a 75-71 elimination ofButler in Thursday’s opening game,the Tigers (27-7) made 11 steals,blocked eight shots and hounded theBulldogs (26-6) into 42 percentshooting. Although seeded onlyeighth in the South Regional, theSoutheastern Conference regular-sea-son champions are eager to measurethemselves against the top-seededHeels (29-4).

Green: Jury still out“It’s going to be a great chal-

lenge, but it’s going to be fun to seewhat we can do,” Chris Johnson,LSU’s senior center, said. “We’reexcited because we knew when thefield was announced that we proba-bly would be playing Carolina inCarolina if we could get by Butler.A chance like this is what you playthe game for.”

If LSU’s defensive tendenciesagainst Butler carry over, Green andfellow wingman Wayne Ellingtonshould have ample opportunities tostrike. With much defensive emphasison the inside, LSU was willing togive Butler 23 shots from beyond thearc. The ninth-seeded Bulldogs con-verted eight for an acceptable 35 per-cent effort, but couldn’t sink enoughto get the upset.

Ellington, who missed only five of16 shots and went 3-for-5 on three-point attempts Thursday, of late hasbeen as accurate as Green has beenwayward. If we know that fact, Tigerscoach Trent Johnson knows it evenbetter and will go to great lengths toshut down Ellington and gamble onGreen.

“We’ll see what happens,” Greensaid. “Like I said, I think I’m gettingback in a groove, but if I’m wrong,I’m just going to work harder ondefense and rebounding. There’smore to playing than just shooting.”

Saturday’s X factor, of course, isLawson.

The junior playmaker has notplayed in a game since March 8, andhis injury has virtually changed theteam’s identity from the Tar Heels tothe Toe Heels. How much rust hasLawson accumulated during the longlayoff? Will it take him several min-utes, maybe a full half, to adjust tothe speed of a game against an oppo-nent with as much quickness as any inthe ACC?

“I don’t think it’ll be that much ofa big problem,” Lawson said. “Once agame gets going, you just react towhat’s happening around you. It allcomes back to you pretty fast.”

For Lawson, it may. For Green’sstroke, the jury’s still out.

Gatorsturn backSeahawksBy DAVE [email protected]

The Cape Coral Seahawks madesome costly fielding errors Friday,which contributed to a five-run deficitagainst the Island Coast Gators. As theSeahawks fought back, the Gators gaveaway a few outs of their own.

Despite the miscues, the gameturned into a thrilling test for two of thearea’s youngest teams.

Island Coast junior Will Machindelivered a two-run single and scoredthe go-ahead run in the seventh as theGators prevailed 8-6.

“This was a good game for us,”Gators coach Clint Montgomery said.“We’ve been beating people by a lot orlosing by a lot. It was something weneeded to prove to ourselves.”

It was the second meeting of theseason between the city schools. TheGators won both, including a 4-1 victo-ry at the Early Bird Tournament. Athird meeting is scheduled for later in

Teixeira beltsfirst HR in 4-2win over Twins

■ Spring schedule, 12AFORT MYERS (AP) — Mark

Teixeira hit his first spring traininghome run for the New York Yankees,a solo drive off Joe Nathan in a 4-2victory over the Minnesota TwinsFriday.

Teixeira, a notoriously slowstarter, was 11-for-28 (.393) withtwo RBI before his sixth-inninghomer. He went 0-for-2 hitting right-handed against lefty Glen Perkinsbefore switching to left-handedagainst Nathan.

Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes gaveup one run and three hits in 4 1/3innings, walking one and striking outnone.

He lowered his ERA to 2.19, butlikely won’t have a rotation spotbecause the Yankees signed freeagents CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnettand intend to start Joba Chamberlain.

Perkins allowed four hits in fivescoreless innings, struck out one andwalked one.

Yankees second basemanRobinson Cano, diagnosed with bur-sitis in his right shoulder, started andwent 1-for-3 with a strikeout.

Designated hitter Hideki Matsui,who has been troubled with soreknees, started and went 0-for-3.

Twins shortstop Nick Punto, whowas hit by a ball in the right arm whileplaying for Italy in the WorldBaseball Classic, played for the firsttime in a week and went 2-for-3 withan RBI single in the third inning offHughes. Punto also hit a double.

the season.Both teams figure to get better as this

season progresses and in the years ahead,with rosters filled with talented underclass-men.

The Gators (6-7) seemed to be cruisingtoward their second victory in as manygames, leading the Seahawks 6-1 enteringthe bottom of the sixth inning. Until thatpoint, sophomore Taylor Renegar had onlyallowed one run on two hits.

The Seahawks (2-11) then made theircharge. Senior Nick Gillogly walked tostart the sixth-inning rally, and manufac-tured a run by stealing second and third,and coming home on a wild throw at third.

They scored four more runs after that totie it 6-6. Senior Alex Torres delivered anRBI double to deep center, and BrianHeminger and Brandon Marshall eachcame through with two-out RBI singles.

The Gators made two errors, whichhelped to extend the inning. The Seahawksbrought a total of 11 batters to the plate.

“I liked that we answered,” Cape assis-tant coach Mike Gorton said. “That wasone of the first times all year that weanswered back.”

Both teams got solid outings from theirstarting pitchers — Renegar for the Gatorsand freshman Cain Spangler for theSeahawks.

Spangler allowed two runs in his fourinnings, both coming in the second. AfterMarco LoSauro was struck by a pitch,sophomore Kyle Harding drilled a single tocenter, scoring LoSauro. The Seahawksmade an error on a sharply hit ball by PabloMatos, accounting for the Gators’ secondrun.

The Seahawks got one back in the bot-tom of the second when Heminger led offwith a single and scored on an RBI byTyler Wimberly.

The Gators built their 6-1 lead courtesyof a four-run fifth. After the Seahawks tiedit, the Gators responded in the top of theseventh.

Machin led off with a single andadvanced to second on Renegar’s sacrificebunt. The Seahawks’ fourth error of thenight on a ball hit by LoSauro, allowedMachin to score from second. LoSauro alsoscored on a wild pitch, putting the Gatorsup two runs.

“After they took the lead I knew as thefirst batter I needed to be aggressive,” saidMachin. “The team followed behind meand we pulled through it.”

Next weekend the Capewill be filled with thesounds of jazz!

The 20th Annual Soundsof Jazz and Blues Festivalreturns for another year ofgreat music, capping offCelebrate Cape Coral monthfestivities that began withthe TIB-sponsored blockparty and night parade.

Like in previous years,the festival features anentire day’s worth of livejazz and blues, with nationalrecording jazz sensationWayman Tisdale as theheadliner.

“We create an amazingatmosphere,” said ToddKing, special events directorfor Cape Coral. “Last yearwas absolutely spectacular... just the liveliness of thecrowd, and the weather wasgreat. In my three years withthe event, last year was thebest I’ve ever seen. And thisyear is going to be even bet-ter.”

King expects roughly5,000 people to show forthis unique event, held atJaycee Park.

King said the event reallydraws jazz and blues enthu-siasts from both sides of thebridge, pulling peoplefrom as far away asTampa.

“It wraps up agreat month ofevents that cele-brate the Cape,”King added. “Itbrings an amazinggenre of music toour citizens and sur-rounding SouthwestFlorida.”

The entertainmentlineup is indeed a fas-cinating one. Head-liner Tisdale has hadan interesting, and var-ied career. Before tak-ing on the challengesof composing music,Tisdale was a colle-giate and professionalbasketball player.

As a member of theOklahoma Sooners bas-ketball team, Tisdale wasa three-time all Ameri-can, before going on towin a gold medal withthe 1984 OlympicBasketball team,coached byBob Knight.

In the1 9 8 5N B Ad r a f t ,T isda lew a sselecteds e c o n doverall bythe Indiana Pacers,beginning a 12-yearcareer in the NBA, dur-ing which he played fornot only the Pacers, butthe Phoenix Suns andthe Sacramento Kings,where he posted the bestnumbers of his career. In all,Tisdale scored over 12,000points and grabbed over5,000 rebounds during hisprofessional tenure.

His musical careerkicked into gear in 1995with the release of his firstalbum. “Power Forward,”though by no means was

music new to Tisdale. It wasmore like a return to musicfor the basketball player,who had been active in hischurch band and with sever-al other musical groups as akid.

Deciding to pursue musicfull time, he retired in 1997,and has released eightalbums since.

Recently, Tisdale hasfaced some serious adversi-ty, having had his right legamputated below the kneefollowing a battle with bonecancer.

His Cape performancemarks one of his first tripsback to the stage followinghis recent health issues.

“We’re really excitedbecause Wayman Tisdalehas just recovered from can-cer,” King said. “They hadto take the lower part of hisleg, and we’ll be one of hisearly openings since hisrecovery.”

Fort Myers-based WZJZ100.1 Smooth Jazz DJRandi Bachman said shewas really looking forwardthe Tisdale’s performance,and thinks his recent battlewith cancer willmake his per-f o r m a n c e

that much more special.WZJZ is one of the concert’ssponsors.

“He’s a guy with a bigheart and fabulous talent.He’s had one hit album afteranother,” Bachman said.“He plays the base like its atoy and he’s an exciting per-son to see on stage. I’m will-ing to bet the amputationhasn’t slowed him downmuch. We’re looking for afabulous performance fromWayman and his band.”

Although he is the head-liner, Tisdale is but one of

the three acts to gracethe stage for the con-cert.

The opening act isthe Damon

Fouler Groupf r o m

T a m p a ,which, according

to King, has opened upfor blues great B.B. King.Following the DamonFouler Group is HeatherBrooks with her bandModulation.

Brooks and Modu-lation are homegrown,based out of Naplesand Fort Myers.Talent organizerPaul Easton said

that Modulation andBrooks are wellknown throughout

the region. “Modulation

features someof the bestmusical talentwe have inS o u t h w e s tF l o r i d a , ”Easton said.“They arevery wellk n o w nthroughoutthe region.”

E a s t o nadded that

securing Tisdale and hisband as the headliners was a“fairly easy process.”

Tisdale was scheduled toperform at another South-west Florida Jazz festival,but since he couldn’t meetthe date for Jazz on theGreen, he happily kicked infor Sounds of Jazz.

“We were able to stepright in and pick up Way-man’s date,” Easton added.“He’s a headliner in his ownright, and he compares veryfavorably with headlinerswe’ve had in the past.”

The event really seems tohave something to please alljazz and blues enthusiasts,or even the casual musiclover who shares a passionfor live instrumentation andsong.

Deejay Randi Bach-man thinks this year’sjazz concert is going tobe great, and maybeeven the best ever.

Bachman said,“This is sure to bean extraordinary20th anniversaryfor blues and jazzat the park.”

Dear Annie: My 33-year-old wife and I havebeen married for four yearsand have a wonderful 3-year-old son. Yet, from dayone, every time a difficultyarises, she proclaims she isgetting a divorce. In fact,she normally holds meaccountable for every diffi-culty.

She refuses intimacy oreven close proximity unlessit includes a foot and backrub. Her twice-daily con-versations with her motherare sacred (we live acrossthe country from our fami-lies). Her mother is her onlyreal friend and gives heradvice, none of which issupportive of our marriage.

My wife is constantlyirritable and worries end-lessly about money,although the two of us earnplenty. Her job sucks thelife out of her and shecomes home drained andanxious. I suggested shework part time, as myincome is enough, but shewon’t. She refuses any sortof counseling and over theyears has filed three legalproceedings against me,including a charge of childabuse, all of which were

utterly falseand ended assoon as shegot tired ofp u r s u i n gthem. Butthey cost usthousands ofdollars inlegal fees.

I love mywife and con-sider mar-riage to besacrosanct. Itell her dailythat I will dowhatever ittakes to makeher and ourchild happy.Instead, shehas movedout of thehouse. Anyadvice onhow toimprove the marriageinstead of terminating it?

— Locked Out of My Marriage

Dear Locked Out:Either you’re not telling usthe whole story, or yourwife has some serious men-tal health issues. Saving themarriage may not be possi-ble or beneficial. Since sherefuses counseling, pleasego on your own and see ifyou can find more effectiveways to cope.

Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old college student andrecently started an intern-ship at a nearby school. Ihave always been a reservedperson. I can engage inpleasant conversation, buttypically prefer to be quietin social settings.

Recently,my depart-ment had alarge projectto completeand I wasgiven animportant jobto do. I sat atmy desk andcarefully didmy work, andthe othersh a p p i l ytalked whiledoing theirassigned jobs.After a fewhours, onew o m a nlooked at meand remarkedunpleasantly,“Look at her.She doesn’tsay a word.She doesn’t

complain or anything.”I was not unfriendly and

was perfectly content doingmy work. Tell me, Annie, isit OK to be in a social situa-tion and not complain? Thisisn’t the first time someonehas told me to speak up.

— Comfortably Quiet

Dear Comfortably:There is a differencebetween doing your workquietly and giving theimpression that you arealoof and superior to yourco-workers. Also, you areinterpreting that remark as“unpleasant,” and we thinkit was gentle teasing intend-ed to draw you into conver-sation. You don’t have to bea chatterbox. If talking isn’tyour thing, try a genuinesmile. It can work wonders.

Dear Annie: This is inresponse to “TakenAdvantage Of,” whoseadult daughter was workingand still living at home, andrecently began paying rent,which Mom had been put-ting aside in a savingsaccount. The girl nowresents having to pay for hercell phone and otherexpenses.

When Mom accumulatesenough for the first and lastmonth’s rent on an apart-ment, she should give it toher daughter and send heron her way. Kids alwaysseem to have money for thefun things they want, butcan’t seem to save up forthat first apartment.

— Bakersfield Mom

Dear Bakersfield: Thatis certainly another way tohandle it, but the daughter’ssalary seemed insufficientto live on her own.Roommates, however,could solve that problem,and if the girl continues togive Mom a hard time, wehope she’ll keep your sug-gestion in mind.

CLEVELAND (AP) — As theCleveland Catholic Diocese preparesto announce which parishes mustclose or merge, those at most risk maybe the 51 nationality parishes thatcater to specific ethnic groups such asPolish-Americans and Irish-Americans.

Some of the historically large nation-ality parishes in Cleveland have shrunkas members moved to the suburbs.

The faithful at St. Casimir, one ofthe last vestiges of an old Polishneighborhood, are on edge. Thechurch, founded in 1892, still offers a

Polish Mass but is no longer sur-rounded by the ethnic culture thatbuilt it. On a recent Sunday, no morethan 50 joined in song and prayer at aMass inside the church.

“I was baptized here, I was marriedhere, and I want to be buried fromhere,” said Tina Girod, 53.

Bishop Richard Lennon said clos-ing some churches is necessary so thatothers can thrive. He intends to sharedecision with parish priests onSaturday.

Up to 50 parishes, mostly in urbanareas, could close or be merged with-

in the diocese because of decliningnumbers of parishioners and priests,reflecting consolidation also seenelsewhere in the United States.

For much of the diocese’s history,ethnic churches thrived. New immi-grants often built grand structures.

But many of the nationality parish-es no longer reflect their Bohemian orGerman or Italian roots.Neighborhoods changed, enrollmentsdwindled and diocese officials ques-tioned whether Mass in the mothertongue is essential when most parish-ioners speak English.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s courts and theCumberland County Jail are modifying their rules regard-ing head coverings in order to accommodate the practicesof Muslims and people of other faiths.

Under the new policy, defendants, inmates and visitorswill no longer be required to remove scarves or other headcoverings that are required by religious custom.

That obligation has come into conflict with securityconcerns and cultural standards that prevail in many of thenation’s courts and prisons.

With the growth of the nation’s Muslim communities,pressure to allow head coverings has increased. Some otherstates and the federal justice system have already modifiedtheir rules.

Hats have historically been forbidden inside theCumberland County Jail, where inmates are issued pants andshirts of yellow, orange or blue depending on the securityrisk they present. To address concerns about security, the jailhas contracted with a vendor to provide head coverings thatmeet jail security standards, Sheriff Mark Dion said.

Two massive surveys of the reli-gious landscape reveal that fewerAmericans today claim to beChristian, and that church attendanceis slipping. Meanwhile, a commenta-tor in the Christian Science Monitorpredicts that the steady decline inmainstream Protestantism will bematched by the erosion of evangelicalChristianity.

The American ReligiousIdentification Survey notes that thepercentage of Americans claiming noreligious faith has doubled since1990. During that period the percent-age of Americans who are Christianhas slipped from 86.2 percent to 76percent.

Ninety percent of the declinecomes from the Protestant population,overwhelmingly from the mainlinedenominations, which includeMethodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians,Episcopalians, and the United Churchof Christ. Those churches shrank from18.7 percent of the American popula-tion in 1990 to just 12.9 percenttoday. The only mainstream churchesstill growing are the Baptists.

Most of the growth in the Christianpopulation consists of thoseAmericans who identify themselves

only as “Christian,” “Evangelical,”“Born Again,” or “Non-denomina-tional.” In fact, researchers discoveredthat close to 40 percent of mainlineProtestants now consider themselvesto be evangelical. Survey directorMark Silk says, “It looks like the two-party system of AmericanProtestantism —mainline versusevangelical — is collapsing. A gener-ic form of evangelicalism is emergingas the normative form of non-CatholicChristianity in the United States.”

Nevertheless, a prominent evan-gelical warns that, “within two gener-ations, evangelicalism will be a housedeserted of half its occupants.”Michael Spencer blames evangelicalsfor having identified their movementwith conservative politics and hostili-ty to secular culture. He foresees agrowing secularization of Americanculture that will resist evangelicalChristianity, judging it to be opposedto the common good.

He claims that, “massive majori-ties of Evangelicals can’t articulatethe Gospel with any coherence. Wefell for the trap of believing in a causemore than a faith.”

Meanwhile, the nation’s Catholic

population continues to swell, largelydue to immigration, but regularchurch attendance among Catholicshas declined.

Those who identify themselvesreligiously as Jews shrank from 3.1million in 1990 to 2.7 million today.Mormons now constitute 1.4 percentof Americans. Although the Muslimproportion of the U.S. population hasdoubled since 1990, it stands at only0.6 percent. The number of outrightatheists has nearly doubled since2001 to 1.6 million.

Revealingly, more than one in fourAmericans no longer contemplateshaving a religious funeral at life’send.

A separate survey of mainstreamProtestant clergy by Public ReligionResearch reveals that an overwhelm-ing number of ministers are activelyresisting the secularization ofAmerican life and the marginalizationof the Christian faith.

“Sports serve society by providing vivid examples ofexcellence.”

— George Will

■ ■ ■

A coach admires a player’s sportsmanship.

Danny Gathings is a player I coached at High PointUniversity. Danny, a native of Winston-Salem, N.C.,transferred to High Point from Virginia Tech. During histime with us, he experienced more growth as an individ-ual than any player I have ever coached.

Danny was phenomenal his junior year. He led theteam in scoring and rebounding, was named the BigSouth Player of the Year, was the first player in HighPoint history to be named Honorable Mention All-America by the Associated Press and led the team to theBig SouthTournament finals.Although we lost inthe finals to LibertyUniversity, Dannywas named BigSouth TournamentMVP.

Danny’s gamehad grown up. Hewas about to, too.

On April 14, 2004, I stood with Danny at a convoca-tion service in the Liberty Vines Center of LibertyUniversity. Rival Liberty guard Larry Blair was beinghonored. Blair had hit seven three-pointers in the cham-pionship game in which Liberty beat us. Danny was thereto honor him.

With the Liberty faculty and student body looking on,Danny held the 2004 Big South Tournament MVPplaque that he had been awarded a few months earlier. Hethen turned and handed the award to Larry Blair. Dannybelieved that Larry was more deserving of the award thanhe. He had looked at the stats sheet and realized thatLarry had better numbers.

When Danny relinquished the honor, the Liberty stu-dents responded with a standing ovation. I was stunnedand moved by the crowd’s spontaneous appreciation ofDanny’s humility and sportsmanship. A rival crowdcheering, commending and praising one of my players? Iconsider it a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a coach.

As Danny transferred the plaque to Larry, he told me:“This is something I need to do. Larry deserves thisaward more than I do. I am happy to give it to him andhonor his efforts that helped his team win the champi-onship. Hopefully, I’ll deserve it next year.” Needless tosay, I was choked up.

Danny Gathings’ act of humility earned him theNCAA sportsmanship award that year, and he has beenrecognized by several other organizations.

Danny is one of the finest young men I have met, onor off the court. When he first arrived at High Point, hewas a student some expected to fail because of his back-ground. Yet, by the time he finished his course work, hewas a responsible role model for young people — partic-ularly those who find themselves in difficult environ-ments and circumstances.

Because of his character and humility, DannyGathings is now an MVP to so many more people.

ASTROLOGICALQUESTIONS: “Howcan I get my mojoworking? I’m anAquarius and I coulduse some good luck.Ever since the sun leftAquarius I’ve felt Idon’t have much to lookforward to.”

With the sun in yoursign you feel like you’reon top of the world, lifetakes on a snappy paceand anything can hap-pen. It’s like the uni-verse is conspiring tokeep you entertained.Just because the sunleaves you for the nextconstellation doesn’tmean you should feeldown — it’s simplyyour turn to comman-deer the next adventure.

Make sure you have things to lookforward to. Make plans with friends,buy concert tickets or plan an excur-sion. Put it on the schedule and invitepeople — lots of people. ForAquarius, more usually makes itmerrier. Once you’ve filled in thecalendar a bit with some fun on thehorizon, build additional bits ofpleasure into each day. It could be asteamy bath, a thrilling book or a flir-ty encounter — whatever puts a songin your heart. And for adaptableAquarians, a few days of conscious-ly happy living is all it takes to getthe mojo back in full force.

CELEBRITY PROFILES:Kevin Federline is reportedly mak-ing it easy for Britney Spears to visittheir sons during her Circus tour. K-Fed’s natal sun, Mercury and Venusall in the energetic and youthful signof Aries indicate endless energy, awillingness to take risks and thewherewithal to endure criticismwithout letting it affect him toostrongly. The moon and Saturn inLeo point out his passion for showbusiness.

Flirting is not justfor sweethearts DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I coach a small college’s

lacrosse team. I have two questions for you. We are on theEast Coast and play two games on the West Coast each sea-son. We win when we play these teams at home, but welose when we play them at their schools. Could it be jetlag? Or could it be a sleep thing? How much sleep is rec-ommended for a collegiate athlete?

— R.M.

ANSWER: Jet lag occurswhen people cross a couple oftime zones. Crossing time zonesin a westward direction is less ofa disruption to the body thancrossing the same number oftime zones in an eastward direc-tion. Your competitors are at agreater disadvantage than youare. That’s not to say that yourteam might not suffer from jetlag, and it might account foryour losses. Can you travel a dayor two earlier? We’d find out forsure.

The hours of sleep requiredby college students, athletes ornot, vary considerably from stu-dent to student. On average,high-school and college studentsneed eight or nine hours of sleep.Few that age are able to get somuch sleep. Sleep deprivationimpairs athletic skills. Reactiontime is much slower for a sleepyathlete. Chronically sleep-deprived athletes are slower to learn new moves and newtechniques. That holds for nonathletes in the classroomalso.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have an argument with ateammate on our wrestling team. We’re in high school. Isay weight training for a wrestler should concentrate on thearms and legs. He doesn’t agree. He thinks wrestlersshouldn’t pick one or two areas but work the entire body. Ithink that wastes exercise time. Who’s right?

— F.L.

ANSWER: It’s a wrestler’s goal to pin an opponent’sshoulders to the mat, right? To accomplish that feat, “core”muscles are most important. Core muscles are the lowerback and abdominal muscles.

The rectus abdominis muscle is the front abdominalmuscle that runs from the breastbone and ribs five, six andseven to the pubic bone. Routine abdominal exercisesstrengthen this muscle. One back muscle, the psoas, isanother important core muscle. It runs from the lower back-bones to the thigh bone. It’s involved in flexing the spine.Back-bending exercises strengthen it. Be careful. Backexercises have to be done with strict form in order not tocause a back injury.

The point is that you shouldn’t confine your exerciseonly to the arms and legs. You have to strengthen the entirebody. You cannot neglect the core muscles.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: When my grandson was 8, hehad two seizures. He is now 15. For a while, he took med-icines but hasn’t done so in three years. Can he participatein sports? How about contact sports?

— J.A.

ANSWER: Children whose seizures are controlled withmedicine are usually allowed to play all sports. Yourgrandson hasn’t had a seizure in seven years and has nottaken medicine in three years. His two seizures shouldn’tbe a concern. It’s always wise to check with the child’sdoctor.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer indi-vidual letters, but he will incorporate them in his columnwhenever possible. Readers may write him or request anorder form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Readers may alsoorder health newsletters from www.rbmamall.com.

First off, I would like to apologize to my readers espe-cially the six people who e-mailed, called my pager andmy office about my article from two weeks ago. I said Iwould finish my article and didn’t. I will finish theanswer.

FEES THAT ARE NEGO-TIABLE (from March 7): Lenderinspection; document preparation;administrative; credit report; mes-senger; tax escrow, if the lenderwill let you apply your taxes andinsurance without escrow. Eachlender can/may be different.

FEES THAT AREN’T NEGO-TIABLE: Application/appraisal.

I hope this information waswhat all of the e-mails and phonecalls were seeking?

Now, I will finish the column from last week pertain-ing to Bed & Breakfasts ...

UNDERSTANDING OF LOCAL LAWS: To find outabout local zoning requirements and fire and buildingcodes, ask your accountant, other B&B owners, thechamber of commerce and local government officials.Some neighborhoods have unique rules. For example,only permitting B&Bs with four guests rooms or fewer.

KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL B&B SCENE: Talk withinnkeepers in your area or a similar one. Discuss pricing,cancellation/no-show policies and marketing.

MARKETING NICHE: Based on what you learn,decide what type of customer you want to attract. Thecore markets are business people, families with childrenand couples who want romantic getaways.

For business people, you’ll need a centralized faxmachine and a computer with a high-speed Internet con-nection. For families with kids, stock up on board gamesand movies on DVD or video.

For couples, decorate with antiques or sleek modernfurnishings and plush bedding. Consider serving after-noon tea. It’s best not to mix the clientele.

MARKETING PLAN: Prepare a brochure that hasyour rates, a drawing or photo and a listing of nearbyattractions. You might also put this information on aWeb site. For instructions on creating a Web site, checkout www.allaboutyourownwebsite.com.

Market through innkeeper associations and chamberof commerce. Many book rooms or refer guests for a fee-say, 10 percent of the cost of each booking.

Spend nights at other B&Bs. Find unique amenitiesyou can offer that your competitors don’t.

For examples, a specialty for breakfast or transporta-tion to local attractions.

Emergency Plan: Find a handyman and plumber, andkeep emergency numbers (doctor, hospital, etc.) accessi-ble.

To all of my readers-sorry about mixing the twoweeks. I hope everyone enjoyed St. Pat’s Day.

By JOE LAMP’L Scripps Howard News Service

Food gardening is the hottest trendin home gardening today. Accordingto a recent survey by the NationalGardening Association, 7 millionmore people will start a food gardenthis year, up 19 percent over 2008.Obviously, the economy has a lot ofus looking for ways to reduce ourgrocery bills, and growing your owncan save big money compared withstore prices. In addition, we want toknow that the food we’re putting inour bodies is as healthy as possible.And the best part is, homegrown foodsimply tastes better than anythingyou can buy at the store.

A home vegetable garden is easyto start and doesn’t require as mucheffort as one might think to keep itgrowing strong. Following a few sim-ple steps will ensure you’re enjoyingthe fruits of your labor in no time.

Here’s what you need to know:Location is key: Most vegetable

plants do best in full sun. Find a loca-tion that gets at least six hours of iteach day. To provide the most sunexposure to all your plants, place thetallest ones, such as corn, indetermi-nate tomatoes or pole beans on thenorth or west side of the garden sothey do not shade the smaller plants.

It’s all about the soil: The best soilsuitable for vegetables includes lotsof organic matter, such as composted

leaves and ground or shredded agedbark. Whatever you’re starting with,incorporate enough organic materialso that the amended soil is neithersandy nor compacted. When the mixis right, it will bind together whenyou squeeze it but break apart easilywhen disturbed.

Water wisely: One inch of waterper week, including any natural rain-fall, is adequate. Use soaker hosesand drip lines. These deliver waterslowly and on target, allowing timefor the soil to saturate and for theroots to absorb the moisture.Automatic timers are a great way totake the effort and worry out of thisall-important step.

Use mulch: Add a 3-inch layer oforganic mulch around your plantsand over the irrigation lines. Mulchwill insulate the soil, help retainmoisture, suppress weeds and acts asa protective barrier from diseasessplashing up onto the plants from thesoil.

Use patience with pest control:Although pest insects are a given atsome point in any vegetable garden,by exercising patience, nature willusually take care of the problem.Surprisingly, of all the insects in yourgarden only about 3 percent are actu-ally harmful pests. Practice the steps

mentioned so far,and you’vealready takenadequate meas-ures to promotethe growth ofhealthy plants,which are betterable to stand upto potential pestinvasions.

If you must

resort to insecticides, apply themresponsibly! That means only late inthe day — or in the evening — onlyon the affected plants and then onlywhen necessary. Never apply pesti-cides in the morning when pollinatorsand beneficial insects are most activesince you’ll likely kill them as well.Rather than using chemicals in a foodgarden, focus on growing healthyplants with great soil and sunny con-ditions and let nature take its course.Synthetic and even manyorganic/natural pesticides are non-selective, meaning they will kill ben-eficial insects, too.

Don’t overfertilize: Too much fer-tilizer, especially nitrogen (the firstnumber on the fertilizer package),can promote plenty of lush greengrowth at the expense of less fruitand a smaller harvest. Excessive fer-tilizer can also be harmful to plantsand soil. Instead, add plenty of organ-ic compost, up to about 20 percent ofthe total soil volume. Incorporate itinto the rest of the planting bed andyou’ll be supplying your plants withthe nutrients they need to thrive natu-rally. In other words, feed the soiland let the soil feed the plants.

If you put into practice what I’vesuggested, you’ll get your garden offto the right start and set it up for amore enjoyable growing season.Preparation is key, with the rewardbeing a healthier, more productivegarden and fresh food that tastesgreat. What could be better than that?

Sales rate reaches 65 percentin Phase 2 of Country LakesBy DWIGHT BARNETT

Scripps Howard News Service Q: I read your article on how brick veneer needs

space for drainage. We have high brick walls with slid-ing glass doors off a deck on the main level and a slid-ing glass door into the lower level. We have a brickangle iron over all these doors. In 1997, we sprayed asealer on this wall as we were having water come inover these doors (inside) when we’d have a hard all-day (more or less) rain. The sealer worked until thisDecember when we had lots of rain. Water was com-ing in over all three of these doors.

Should we drill holes over this angle iron to let thewater out before itgets to the doors? Weplan on resealing, butin checking this out, itsays to pressure-washthe old seal off. Doyou think after allthese years, the seal is gone and we can eliminate thepressure washing?

A: The angle iron, or lintel, above the doors will notdrain even if you drill holes in the bricks’ mortar joints.The backside of the lintel is tight against the brick andthere is no room for drainage. Any water that pene-trates the brick veneer will flow behind the lintel andeventually show up inside the home.

Had the bricklayer installed a roll of flashing behindthe lintel and then installed weep holes above the door,those would have created a path for drainage. At thetime of construction, the cost to flash a patio doorwould be less than $20. It’s really hard for me tounderstand why these kinds of shortcuts are taken, andwhen I point out the defects to the contractors, I hear,“That’s the way we’ve always done it.”

Almost all brick walls leak, and measures need to betaken to provide a drainage system for the trappedwater.

Since your home does not have the proper flashingsand drainage systems, you will need to continue to pro-tect the brick from the weather. Exterior sealers andpaints break down over time, which requires ongoingmaintenance. If the product’s manufacturer recom-mends power washing, then you need to follow thedirections. Even after 11 years of wear, there will beareas where the original sealer is still intact and needsto be removed, along with oils and dirt, to prepare thebrick’s surface for the new sealer.

MADNESS MADNESS

By HELAINE FENDELMAN and JOE ROSSON Scripps Howard News Service

Dear Helaine and Joe: I am hopingyou can tell me the value of this vase. It is12 inches tall, and the base is marked “LeVerre Francaise, France.”

Thank you,R.S., Evans, Ga.

Dear R.S.The signature on the base of this lovely

glass vase translates to “The French Glass— France,” and does not include the nameof the manufacturer. Discovering themaker takes a little research, but afterperusing a few references, it turns out to beCristallerie Schneider.

Brothers Charles and Ernest Schneiderfounded the company in 1908 in Epinay-sur-Seine. In the beginning, they madecommercial glassware, but in the 1920sthey changed their production to includemore decorative wares — initially in theArt Nouveau style that had actually been abit out of vogue for some time.

Stylistically, they changed in the late1920s and1930s to theArt Deco style,which woulddescribe thepiece in today’squestion. Theysigned theirwares in various ways, including“Schneider,” “Charder” and “Le VerreFrancaise.” Some sources consider the“Charder” pieces to be the hardest to find.

Charles Schneider (1881-1962) stud-ied the art of glass decoration under themost famous glassmakers in France at thetime — Emile Galle and the Daum broth-ers.

Galle is practically an artistic icon. Hewas born in 1846 and died in 1904, and hewas one of the leading exponents of FrenchArt Nouveau. He is now known primarilyfor his glass, but he was also a furniture-maker and a ceramicist.

The Daum brothers — Auguste andJean — were greatly influenced by thework of Galle. And whilesome of their work was imi-tative, they did producework that is quite extraordi-nary, both in its quality andartistic merits. Both Galleand the Daum brothers wereknown for their “cameo”glass, which involved hav-ing several layers of differ-ently colored glass and thencarving the various layersaway to produce designs orpictures.

On rare occasions, Gallemight use as many as fivelayers of colored glass tomake his cameo pieces, butSchneider generally usedonly two or three layers.These layers were “cut-back” using hydrofluoricacid to produce a design.This is the method that wasused to decorate R.S.’s vase.

This particular vase has amottled yellow ground witha bold red overlay that hasbeen cut back to form theimage of flowers. The basehas a layer of a kind-of-mot-tled tortoise-shell color thathas been cut back in placesto reveal the yellow under-neath. It is Art Deco in tasteand probably dates from themid-1920s to the mid-’30s.

The control ofCristallerie Schneiderpassed to CharlesSchneider’s son, Robert, in1948, and when Charlesdied in 1962, his son movedthe operation to Lorris(Loiret). We could find norecord of the company after1962.

This particular vase is atypical Le Verre Francaisepiece, but its colors are boldand that should appeal tocollectors. At 12 inches tall,it is a good size and has aninsurance- rep lacementvalue of between $1,800and $2,500.

Time for spring cleaning. Here are sometips to get your home sparkling for thebright sunshiny days to come.

Doormats: Give them some love in theform of a good sweeping and washing. Justthink of how many times you’ve wipedyour feet on them this winter alone.

Windows: Clean them with Windex andold newspapers, or you can try making yourown solution of one part white vinegar andone part hot water and putting it in a spraybottle. Choose a time when the sun is notshining directly on windows to avoidstreaking.

Dusting: Dust your entire home, includ-ing hard-to-reach places like the tops of therefrigerator, ceiling fans and window cas-ings. While you’re at it, dust your books

and shelves by taking everything off andwiping each book with a soft cloth. Alwayswork from the top of the room down.

Clean carpets and upholstery: This canbe as simple as vacuuming the carpet andwalking the sofa cushions outside and gen-tly beating them. But if there are stains, youshould deep-clean them with a carpet sham-pooer. Make sure you check the care labelsto avoid discoloration.

Give the walls a bath: They may notlook dirty, but dust and other grime areprobably there and should be wiped away atleast once a year. Use a sponge and a sim-ple solution of water and dishwashingdetergent to wipe down the wall in sections.Use a sponge mop to reach higher spots.

By DAVID W. MYERSIt’s the owner’s job to ensure

that his or her mortgage isremoved from the title to theirhome when the final paymenthas been made.

DEAR MR. MYERS: Wenever thought the day wouldcome, but we have just made thefinal payment on our 30-yearmortgage. What kind of docu-mentation should we expect toget from the bank?

ANSWER: The lendershould soon send you some typeof notification that title to yourhome has been cleared of themortgage or deed of trust.

Procedures vary by state. Insome areas, lenders provide adocument called a “mortgage-satisfaction notice” or “deed ofreconveyance,” which the bor-rower must then file at the localrecorder’s office. In others,banks record the notice them-selves, but typically ask the cus-tomer to pay for the service.

Make sure that you follow upwith the lender if you don’t getthe proper paperwork within 30or 60 days. It’s important to getthe mortgage off the title soon,because you might not be able toclear it quickly if you laterdecide to sell or refinance.

DEAR MR. MYERS: I havevery good credit, so I get unso-licited offers for pre-approvedcredit cards all the time. When acredit-card issuer checks myreport to see if it wants to offerme a pre-approved card, doesthe inquiry drive my overallscore down? I’m concerned,because I plan to refinance my

mortgage soonand want to keepmy score high sothat I can qualifyfor the best loanterms possible.

A N S W E R :

Too manyinquiries can

indeed push your score lower,but only if they’re initiated byyou as part of an effort to obtainmore credit.

Though companies that hawkpre-approved cards indeedcheck your report before decid-ing whether to make an unso-licited offer, such inquiries areknown in the industry as “softhits” and have no effect on youroverall score unless you decideto accept the new card.

DEAR MR. MYERS: Myex-husband is a very successfuldoctor who pays me a total of$4,600 each month in alimonyand child support. I do not workbecause I am busy raising our 8-year-old and going to nightschool. I have been looking for alarger apartment in an areawhere rents are about $1,500per month. Can landlords dis-criminate against me becausemy sole source of income comesfrom my ex-husband instead of a9-to-5 job?

ANSWER: No, landlords orproperty managers cannot denyyou a rental simply because youare not currently employed.

Federal fair-housing lawsprohibit landlords from discrim-inating against prospective ten-ants based solely on their sourceof income — provided that themoney is legally received, veri-fiable and is paid directly to therental applicant or the tenant’srepresentative. This means thatit’s OK for a manager to rejectan applicant if the money comesfrom an illegal operation (thinkdrug-dealing or prostitution),but it’s a violation of federal lawif the landlord refuses to rentsimply because the money isderived from alimony or child-support payments rather than ajob.

There are, however, somegray areas in both federal andstate anti-discrimination laws.

For example, a landlord isallowed to set minimal monthlyincome standards for prospec-tive tenants as long as thosestandards are applied evenly toeveryone. If the landlord saysthat all prospects must make atleast $3,000 per month to be eli-gible for an apartment unit, theirapplication can be booted if theydon’t meet the threshold regard-less of whether they have a jobor instead depend on alimony orsupport payments from their for-mer spouse.

The next time you file arental application for you andyour child, it could help if youalso would include in your“app” a copy of the court-decreethat awards you $4,600 permonth in alimony and child-sup-port payments, plus all bankstatements or other financialrecords that show that the pay-ments have been received on asteady monthly basis. This canhelp to prove to the landlord thatyou’re not only entitled to thepayments, but that your ex-hus-band is religiously making them.

If a landlord balks at takingyour application because youdon’t work full-time, file a com-plaint with your local fair-hous-ing agency or online at the U.S.Department of Housing andUrban Development’s Internetsite (www.hud.gov).

Our booklet “Straight TalkAbout Living Trusts” explainshow even middle- and low-income homeowners can nowreap the same benefits that aninexpensive trust once providedonly to the wealthy. For a copy,send $4 and a self-addressed,stamped envelope toD.Myers/Trust, P.O. Box 2960,Culver City, CA 90231-2960.Send questions to that sameaddress and we’ll try to respondin a future column.

Q: I have begunto dabble in realestate and a friendtold me that I couldfind real deals inprobate property.How is this differentfrom a foreclosuresale?

A: Default on aloan occurs whenpayments on a mort-gage or note are notmade on time. A per-son is officially indefault when theyhave missed two ormore monthly pay-ments althoughbeing in default doesnot always lead toforeclosure. Somelenders are morelenient and help borrowers find asolution when the situation istemporary. If a solution is notachievable, the property is sold tosatisfy the debt because the realproperty is considered as securityunder a mortgage.

The sale that follows thedefault is called a foreclosuresale. This is the forced sale of thereal property in question at a pub-lic auction, traditionally on thecourthouse steps. This follows apublic notice posted at the court-house and published in a localnewspaper. Forced sales can alsobe the result of unpaid propertytaxes.

The lender who has not beenpaid may also bid on the proper-ty. The lender’s unpaid note canusually be used towards thelender’s bid making this a bargainpurchase for the lender. Thesesales can also be bargains for areal estate investor.

Probate is the process of prov-

ing a will is valid. Itis also the term forthe entire process ofthe administration ofestates of thedeceased, includingthose without wills.This occurs withcourt supervision.

A probate sale isthe sale of a homethat occurs when theowner dies and theproperty is dividedamong inheritors orsold to pay debts.

In theory, theheirs paid nothingfor the property anddon’t usually wantto keep it so theirasking price mightbe low. Probate

properties can sometimes be goodbargains if the heirs are willing tosell at a reasonable price. This isnot always the case.

Some probate situations alsoinvolve long court delays, espe-cially id the deceased left no will.There may also be costs involvedin making a property sellable.

Investigate foreclosure salesand probate sales thoroughly.Seek the advice of an attorneybefore committing to purchaseany property that is involved in alegal action.

By ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service

The arrangement and accessorizing ofa bookcase can make or break the look ofa room. A beautiful bookcase can, byerroneous placement of items, look slop-py while a more humble bookcase can bemade to look regal. How? Read on.

Painting the back of a bookcase is anideal way to elevate its status, particular-ly if it is painted a deep color. The darkcolor deepens the space, making itappear grander. The paint helps make thebookcase stand out.

Wallpapering the back of the book-case will do the same as above — butuse a slight pattern. And that is impor-tant. Keep the print small if using wall-paper; otherwise, the look will be busyand messy-looking.

Add pictures to the shelves. Arrangethe books with space on one or moresides for pictures or put the books on thesides with space in the middle for a pic-ture. Off-center the pictures with morebooks on one side, a picture then, andfewer books on the other side. The bestpictures are those of the family. Attachpictures to the wall behind the shelves.

One or more shelves can be simply dec-orative, with no books at all, and insteadhave a picture hung on the back wall ofthe shelf. If the space looks bare with justthe picture due to the size of the shelf orthe size of the picture, add accessories tofill the space.

Many different types of accessorieslook good, if arranged tastefully, onbookshelves. One big clock would bewonderful, particularly if the clock is abit on the old-fashioned side. Candlesdon’t do well on bookshelves, though.They just don’t fit in. Fire and paper isnot a good mix, even if you don’t intendto light the candles. The look is wrong.

Don’t forget the green. Here we aretalking about actual green — not theenvironmental kind, but the foliage kind.Place a plant — either real, if lighting isgood, or silk — on one or more shelves.There is nothing like nature to make aspace warm and inviting.

Arrange the books both vertically andhorizontally for visual appeal. You mightconsider stacking the books in order by

author or in order by subject. What ifthere aren’t enough books by one authoror about one subject? Place them lyinghorizontally, then put an accessory ontop.

Lighting can be a great asset, andthere are three possibilities. One is towash the back with light. The lightsource should be placed at the undersideof the shelf to shine down onto the back.Another way is to place the light sourcein the front of the shelf to shine up ontothe spines of the books. The third possi-bility is to have a lamp on one of theshelves. This last idea is only for looksand a bit of atmosphere as there will notbe much light coming from that onesource.

Now arrange those shelves and happyreading.

Regular readers of my column knowthat I work hard to promote water con-servation across the country. Being amaster plumber for most of my life hasmade me extra-sensitive about the topicof water conservation, and I’m thankfulfor the opportunity to share some of myinformation with you.

We plumbers make our living supply-ing customers with fresh, clean drinkingwater and safely returning wastewaterback to the environment. Sometimes itseems that this service is largely takenfor granted.

Long ago, when I was young and juststarting out in my family’s plumbingbusiness, a local supply house had an oldposter of a plumber in a suit and tieworking on a drain line and the captionread: “The plumber: Protector ofAmerica’s health.” Most of us willchuckle at the image of a plumber work-ing in a suit and tie and being comparedwith a doctor. But for me, looking at thatold poster was a sad reminder of how,over the years, society started looking atplumbing as a dirty job instead of a veryskilled profession.

After looking at that poster every day,my mission became clear. I wanted tohelp put respect back into the plumbingtrade by educating the general public onhow plumbing systems work, and theimportance of working with licensedprofessional plumbers. The exciting

thing about getting a message out is thatno matter what, if you keep on movingforward toward your goal, opportunitieswill present themselves.

In the years since, I’ve been blessedto have had wonderful media opportuni-ties that included my own national TVshows, book deals and, of course, thisnewspaper column. All these media ven-tures have promoted the plumbingtrades, and I believe we’re all a littlemore aware of the importance of proper-ly installed plumbing systems.

But now it’s time to go to the nextlevel and raise awareness of the essenceof what makes a plumbing system possi-ble in the first place. And that’s havingan adequate supply of fresh, drinkablewater that we can use in our plumbingsystems. This brings us back to waterconservation.

My new mission is to spread the wordthat conserving water is a very seriousissue no matter where you live in thiscountry. Clean, usable water is a finiteresource and we all have to start usingthe water we have left wisely, or elsemany more areas in America may facewater shortages in the coming years.

One staggering figure we need towork on is that about 50 percent of thetoilets in the United States are the old,3.5-gallon-per-flush water wasters. Newtoilets use 1.6 GPF or less. With every

flush these old toilets waste close to 2gallons of water. If you add that all up,across the country we waste 1.6 billiongallons of drinking water with our oldtoilets, every day!

The good news is that conservingwater for most of us can be as easy asone, two, three. All it takes is three sim-ple plumbing upgrades:

1. Change your faucet aerators.2. Change your showerheads.3. Change your old toilets.To see my free instructional videos on

making these changes and for moreinformation about saving water, pleasevisit savewateramerica.com. You canalso take a quick quiz to gauge yourpotential water savings. You’ll be help-ing Habitat for Humanity as well. Themajor company sponsoring the Web sitewill make a donation to Habitat forHumanity with every quiz taken.

So start now and don’t feel guiltyabout the past, because it’s never too lateto get on board with this important issue.Anything you may have wasted before ...is just water under the bridge!

When I wasgrowing up,the EasterBunny left mesome prettydisappointingbaskets. Whilethe neighborkids gotchocolate bun-nies, jelly-beans andmarshmallowchicks, mybasket wasfilled withn u t r i t i o u ssnacks. Mymom was ah e a l t h - f o o dnut, and sherarely let us have sweets. In fact, foryears she had me convinced those chalkycalcium tablets were candy.

So you can imagine how incrediblyjealous I was the year Mom gave myfriend Pam the biggest chocolate bunny Ihad ever seen. A few days before Easter,Pam and I were horsing around in theyard when I accidentally fell on her,breaking one of her arms. Mom felt soterrible about it that on Easter she gavePam a huge chocolate bunny to makeamends. I have never been so envious ofanyone in my life! I remember wishing ithad been me who had broken an arm, notPam, so I could get the massive choco-late bunny.

Thankfully, chocolate bunnies nolonger hold the power over me they oncedid. But I’m still crazy about Easter, andI enjoy dressing my home for this seasonof new life. Here are a few ways you,too, can add touches of Easter through-out your home to give it a fun yet sophis-ticated holiday look.

BRING ON THE BUNNIES: Andchicks. And every other cute critter thatreminds you of Easter. I really enjoyusing nature-inspired elements in mydecorating, and nothing is more appro-priate this time of year than figurines,artwork and tableware adorned with bun-nies and birds and other heralds ofspring.

To brighten up a blank wall, hang a setof whimsical oil paintings featuring rab-bits. Prop one small rabbit painting in aneasel to display on a side table or in abookcase. Or hang one on your front door.

I’ve become a huge fan of the vin-tage-looking papier-mache bunnies onthe market now, and I like to use them inmy home at Easter. To add a bit of whim-sy to your Easter brunch, put a bunny fig-urine or two on your service buffet sothey are peeking out from behind thefood. Use a similar figurine on your din-ing-room table. Place the bunny on a traysurrounded by bright green wheat grass(available at most grocery stores), toss-ing a few candy eggs on the grass forcolor. To perk up your entry table, placea bunny, chick or bird figurine on a bedof moss and tuck it into a lantern, clocheor apothecary jar.

BOWERS OF FLOWERS: Lookoutside, then mimic what you see. Forinstance, if you have early spring flow-ers, snip a few and display them in sweetvases, like a hand-painted eggcup oretched mint-julep glass. Cluster your tinybouquets on a tray and place it on an endtable, or put a bouquet at each guest’splace setting on your dining-room table.Freshen up your foyer by arranging early

spring branches in a tall cylinder vase.Fill a lantern with tulips and hang it onyour front door, festooned with a beauti-ful spring ribbon.

THE BREEZEAtHomeI guess all the tourist are very happy nowa-

days, all of these beautiful clear and nice drydays. Not so good for gardeners who are strug-gling to keep all their plantings potted or other-wise, properly watered.

It sure is hard to go anywhere near a gardencenter right now and resist all the pretty flow-ers, trees and shrubs that are just waiting to betaken home to some good soil.

You can plant just about anything now.Bedding plants will want to be watered well,and kept from becoming too dry for the firstweek, maybe two if they are set out in the sun.

I notice a slight increase in prices for someof the smaller pots of bedding plants. However,most everything else is priced well.

Poinsettia plants during the holidays werenoticeably less costly. There are plenty ofGeraniums available, pretty scented white andviolet Alyssum Perky Marigolds available inseveral varieties and Petunias.

If you have room for a patch of somethingtry planting gillardia, sometimes called blanketflower. Theyare a perenni-al, so they willreseed whenthe timecomes and youwill havesome morenext year which is fun. They are for sunnyspots and do not require a lot of care, once set-tled in. A spot of sun is about all you will needfor some sunny daisies .

This is a good time to check on yourGardenia bush. You might be surprised andfind a new bloom, already. I do not trim aGardenia much in spring, just a little clip topretty up the shape. Watch for sooty mold,which can start fast and sneak up on you rightnow because of the lack of rain to keep theleaves cleaned. A small amount can be washedoff with a hose. A large amount will need someextra help, with a spray or two of Oil of Volic,or a sudsy rinse, repeated a couple of times.Now would be a good time to fertilize the plantwith an acid fertilizer.

Hibiscus can probably stand a nice pruning.They will recover nicely from a big trim. Thecold weather has made them leggy and eventhough a few blooms will be lost at trimming,they will fill out pretty quickly. Bushes thatlook really bad may have a pest, such as aphids,or a new pest that is making the rounds. Rinsethem with sudsy spray a couple of times and ifthey still look bad check with the Lee CountyExtension Service for the latest information onwhat could be a more serious problem, thisyear.

Bare root roses and trees can still be plantedthis month. Palms should be feed by now.Seeds that have been started earlier should besafe to plant now. I have two good-sized toma-to plants — a Patio tomato and a regular size—and one Bell Pepper plant. I will probably buyanother one now so that I can let the first onegrow and grow until I have red peppers to gowith the later-producing green ones.

That is the extent of my veggie garden. Ileave them in large black plastic pots so I willnot have to worry about earth-bound crittersgetting into the soil.

The tomatoes do not like to become real dryin between watering, the peppers do not seemto mind being a little dry. Be sure and plant theTomato plants deeply. I take off one or two setsof the bottom leaf stems before planting themin deep to cover what was just pulled off.Always do a staking or use a tomato cage.These tomatoes down here will grow and grow,BIG.

The Peppers will be bushy and not quite astall but I still put a tomato cage around them.Tie them both up on a lattice or other support-ing material.

I have a gardening friend who has an oblongpot of lettuce, a mixture of lettuces, so she canmake a lettuce and tomato salad. There are alot of things to be doing in the garden now, sostart looking around and doing some reading.Talk with other people to see what they aredoing. Come to Garden Club and bring somequestions.

CAPE CORAL

Home and Garden Television A continuing compendium of tips and tricks

from Home and Garden Television:Painting over a laminate counter is a relatively

inexpensive and simple way to change the color inyour bathroom. Just plan carefully, from the paintselection at the start to the three weeks of curing atthe end, says Stephen Ingerson, color specialist forHirschfield’s Inc., a decorating center inMinneapolis.

“Your color choice is so wide open, but remem-ber it will need to coordinate with the wall color,floor and accessories, without necessarily match-ing it,” says Ingerson. “Take a look at what’s goingon with the newest laminates to get an idea of colortrends you can approximate with paint.”

Once you find a color, follow these steps for ahigh-quality paint job:

1. Clean the countertop with warm soap andwater and dry it with a soft cloth.

2. Lightly sand the counter with 150-grit sand-paper and wipe off any dust with a damp cloth.

3. Prime the entire surface with 100 percentacrylic primer. “You want a flash-bond primer,one that will stick to the laminate and that willallow paint to stick to it,” says Ingerson, who sug-gests XIM primer, Benjamin Morris Fresh Start,Bullseye 1-2-3 or any other high-quality primerthat says on the label it’s intended to cover gloss orhigh-gloss surfaces.

4. Let the first coat of primer dry and then applya second.

5. When the second coat of primer is dry, paintover it with a couple of coats of latex satin or semi-gloss enamel, allowing each coat to dry beforepainting another.

6. After the finish coat is dry, seal it with a cou-ple of coats of clear acrylic. “Make sure to usesatin or semi-gloss, because the higher the shine inthe acrylic, the stronger it is and the more protec-tion it offers against scratches and wear,” saysIngerson. “Avoid eggshell or flat paint.”

WE RECYCLE WE RECYCLE WE RECYCLE OFFICE PAPER OFFICE PAPER OFFICE PAPER

Of the three Rʼs —

R educe , R euse and R ecycle , recycling is perhaps the easiest to implement.

Especially at the office! All you need to do is have a separate bin for paper that can be recycled and another for other trash. We at The Lee County Shopper do this

everyday and it feels so good to see how much we can recycle and save from our landfills. See for yourself. Make the switch to recycling at

your office too!
