reading machines, the indictment
said.

fuel depot, then resold into the

concession stand. The estimated
cost for that option was about
$40,000.
The second option presented
was to expand the west side of the
concession stand 12 feet, resulting
in the same number of square feet
as the other option. However,
because fewer walls would have to
be moved, the estimated cost was
only-about $32,800.
Commissioners were in favor of
the second option with an expan-
sion of 16 feet instead of 12 feet.
"If 12 will work, 16 will be bet-
ter," Commissioner Gene Woods
said.
Mr. Oden was directed to pres-
ent the costs of the increased
expansion to the commissioners at
their next meeting.
Maureen Burroughs of Main
Street Okeechobee reported on the
activities of her organization. She
noted that membership has
increased and that they are now, up
to 75 members.
She said that the former execu-
tive director Carl Watson, "did not
live up to our expectations" and
announced the appointment of
Lydia Jean Williams to that posi-
tion.
Ms. Burroughs announced that
Main Street's annual barbecue
competition will be held Feb. 25
and 26. The location has been
changed to the American Legion
field beside the Okeechobee City
Fire Department.
Ms. Burroughs also presented
the commissioners with her orga-
nization's quarterly financial state-
ment. The report stated that Main
Street came in under budget at 69
percent of the projected budget.
Mr. Oden presented revised
landscape plans for the new court-
house. He noted that because of
numerous complaints the new
plan deleted magnolias that had
been proposed for the perimeter of
the grounds.
He said it was feared the mag-
nolias would obstruct the view of

the courthouse and there would be
a problem with the falling leaves.
Commissioners approved the
plan in concept. Mr. Oden will pres-
ent cost figures at the next meeting.
Commissioner Clif Betts asked
if the county would get credit for
the magnolia trees. Mr. Oden
replied that he didn't know.
In addition, live oak trees were
removed from the parking islands,
but all royal palms in the original
plan were to remain. Two oak trees
would be placed near the new
courthouse.
As part of the revised plan, side-
walks were modified and realigned
and the landscaping around them
was modified.
Gene Schriver of Craig A. Smith
& Associates discussed the cause
of a washout on N.E. 101st Street.
He stated that it had something to
do with the mining operation in
that area which has lakes on both
sides of the road. His .engineering
firm was to develop a restoration
plan. The developer of the mining
operation was directed to secure
the services of a county approved
and licensed contractor to com-
plete the necessary repairs.
In other action, the board:
abandoned platted rights-of-
way in Conners Gables Subdivision
with the provision that the owner
dedicate additional rights-of-way to
the county;
engaged the services of Craig
A. Smith & Associates for the
Berman Road widening project;
adopted a resolution provid-
ing for funding to the Scott Driver-
Lake-Okeechobee Scenic Trail-
head project;
authorized the county admin-
istrator to secure an asphalt con-
tract;
authorized the county admin-
istrator to receive proposals on a
telephone system for the new
courthouse;
directed staff to check on
replacing the storm damaged
weighin station at Okee-Tantie
Campground and Marina; and,
appointed Lydia Jean
Williams to the Tourist Develop-
ment Council.

FPL increases
"I am really concerned about the whole increase with our
light bills. We did not make these storms nor did we have control
over them. Why are we paying for something we have no control
over? If FPL would pay and appreciate their current employees,
maybe they would be better off. However, we did not ask for
help from other states. I feel that if FPL would do the under-
ground electric maybe we would be better. I understand that it
costs money to do that but the money they will be getting from
their customers, and the state, they could use it wisely and put in
underground power? For those of us on a fixed income it's really
hard enough to pay our bills now. I can't imagine things in five
years from now especially since we are supposed to have 10
years of this storm activity. No one can predict Mother Nature so
why should we pay for something we have no control over? If
you could help, please help me understand." (Editor's Note:
Thanks for calling. The proposed FPL rate hike is to replenish
the company's emergency fund. That fund, which was totally
used up last summer due to the four hurricanes that hit the
state, helps the company repair damages done by such storms.
We've been told that FPL had to replace nearly 700 miles of their
power lines after Hurricane Charley alone. As for wanting other
states to help, many people were upset because their electricity
was not turned on quick enough. If it hadn't been for other
states helping, there's a chance many would still be without
power.)

Social Security
"A response to do some research in Thursday's paper, we
were residents of Alaska for far more than six years and yes you
do pay Social Security, if you intend to have a Social Security
check when you retire. And to the person who is talking about
how much you get, what about if you only get two hundred and
something dollars like I do? That is difficult to live on, too."

Driver's License Office
"I am just calling to find out if anybody knows when the dri-
ver's license office will re-open? It's terrible that we have to go to
Pahokee or Port St. Lucie or West Palm Beach to get a drivers
license. Ft. Pierce is not open, neither is Okeechobee." (Editor's
Note: Thanks for calling. We've been told they hope to open in
late January.)

Response
"In response to the editor's note after 'don't thank me', I
thank God I am not a voter in Okeechobee. Recently I found I am
stupid because I did not vote for Bush. I have no rights because I
am a Northerner. This is in spite of the fact that I pay ridiculous
real estate taxes, and have trash pick-up charges that I have to
pay for 12 months, for six months usage. I pay water and sewer
for 12 months, again for six months usage. I pay for telephone,
groceries, clothing and vehicles, plus the many miscellaneous
things I buy. I help your charities and people that need help.
Someday you people will realize a tourism board needs to do
more to get people to come here. Now tell me again, if I don't
like it to leave it; I will tell you, that I will leave it when I am ready.
I am proud to be an American even though a lot of countries
don't want to have any thing to do with us except with what we
have to give them sounds a lot like Okeechobee."

Retirement
"In the Jan. 25 Speak Out to the mister know-it-all about
everybody making sure they got a secure pension and everything
- I want him to figure out at $8 an hour, with a couple of kids, a
house payment house insurance, car insurance, gasoline and
getting to work, how do they expect anybody to save anything on
$8 an hour? I hope this man hears and reads this. Figure out how
they do it and I will agree with him. But until he knows what he is
talking about he ought to keep his mouth shut, because you
can't make it on $8 an hour. There aren't any $50,000 minimum
wage earners in or around Okeechobee and neither am 1. I hope
you figure it out and put it in the paper so we all know how to
save for our future retirement."

Trash
"I have a friend on S.E. Eighth St., we fish and play cards
weekly. It was my turn to visit him the other day. I got two flat
tires on my car because I drove too close to a pile of old building
material. The trash is piled in the roadway. I think the city trash
collectors should take that stuff away. It is a hazard on the street,
who can I complain to?" (Editor's Note: Thanks for calling.
We've received some other calls like yours, and we've been told
to tell people to contact Waste Management at (863) 763-4818.
If the material piled up is construction and demolition debris itis
the responsibility of the property owner to contact Waste Man-
agement, who will then go to the location, look at the debris
and give the property owner a cost to haul it away. This cost
must be paid before the debris will be removed.)

Quote of the Day

"My mother drew a distinction between
achievement and success. She said that
'achievement is the knowledge that you have
studied and worked hard and done the best
that is in you. Success is being praised by
others, and that's nice, too, but not as impor-
tant or satisfying. Always aim for achieve-
ment and forget about success.'"
Helen Hayes (1900-1993)

Brahmans lose dual wrestling match to Falcons

By Loma Jablonski
Okeechobee News
The Brahman wrestling team
faced off against the Falcons of
Jensen Beach High School
Wednesday evening at the O.H.S.
gym and came up short, 45-34.
The Brahmans looked strong as
the evening of wrestling began
with seven-out-of-eight junior var-
sity matches being won by the jun-
ior Brahmans. Of the seven wins,
six were by pin. Ricky Bush, Nick
Clements, Caleb Smith, Michael
Skipper, Justin Maxwell and Cory
York all put their opponents' shoul-
ders to the mat. Jeremy Hoglo won
his match by a 9-2 score.
The varsity competition started
out with three losses for.the Brah-
mans before Brahman big man

Jonathan Suarez stepped onto the
mat to face Jensen Beach's heavy-
weight Josh Delancey. Suarez has
been on a roll and rapidly pinned
Delancey for the first varsity win of
the evening.
The Brahmans are without a
103 lb. varsity wrestler and forfeited
that match to Jensen Beach bring-
ing up Tyler Lamb in the 112-lb.
division. Lamb took on Harrison
Suggs of the Falcons and went at
him like a pit bull. Thirteen seconds
into the match, Lamb pinned the
stunned Suggs.
But, the Brahmans celebration
was short lived as the next three
wrestlers went down to tough Fal-
con opponents.
Senior Peritz Samuels stepped
onto the mat in the 135-lb. weight
class. Samuels is a four-year

wrestler who has steadily
improved over the last four sea-
sons to become a force to be reck-
oned with.
Samuels, like his teammate
Lamb, was aggressive from the
opening seconds of the match. He
chased Vinnie Araujo around the
mat, repeatedly taking him down.
He came close to a pin several
times but Araujo fought out. Final-
ly, Samuels reached down deep
inside and put Araujo away for
another Brahman pin.
Senior captain Cory Wright then
took on Adam Karol in the 140-lb.
weight class. Wright wasted no
time in putting Karol away in :25
seconds. Wright is another four-
year wrestler and product of the

Okeechobee Wrestling Club.
Brahman Scott Bush came onto
the mat to face Falcon Jin Uezo in
the 152-lb. weight class. Bush
quickly put Uezo to the mat for yet
another Brahman pin. Bush, like
Wright, is an experienced competi-
tive wrestler. In the off season, he
travels around the state with the
OWC to hone his skills on the mat.
The last match of the night pit-
ted Josh Borgstrom against 160-lb.
Peter Rubiera. Borgstrom put on
an exciting show for the home-
town crowd before winning his
match 17-4.
This was the final home dual for
the Brahmans. The boys team will
compete in the Polk County Invita-
tional on Jan. 29, while the girls

team competes in their state tour-
nament.
The boys' team will then travel
to Vero Beach for the final dual of
the season on Feb. 2, before return-
ing to Okeechobeeto host the dis-
trict tournament on Feb. 12 at the
O.H.S. gym. Wrestling will begin at
11 a.m.

This will be the first step for the
Brahman matmen in their individ-
ual quests for state titles. Only the
top three finishers in each weight
class will advance to regional com-
petition. The top three winners
from the two-day regional event
will then advance to state competi-
tion at the end of February.

Josh Borgstrom put on a show for the hometown crowd as
'he battled Peter Rubiera in the 160-lb. weight class at
Wednesday evening's dual match against the Falcons of
Jensen Beach. Borgstrom won his match 17-4.

Tyler Lamb took little time in putting away Harrison Suggs of
Jensen Beach Wednesday night at the Okeechobee High
School gym. Lamb pinned Suggs in :13 seconds for a big
Brahman win in the 112-lb. weight class.

south and 1100 Midsouth 2-inch
jigs. Because of the cloudy water, it
is best to use bright colors such as
red or orange.

We report,

but YOU decide.

Group elects
a successor
VATICAN CITY The
Legionaries of Christ have elected
a successor to the Mexican priest
who has headed the embattled
religious order since its founding
64 years ago.
The Rev. Marcial Maciel Degol-
lado, 84, declined re-election, but a
spokesman for the order said the
decision had no tie to recent
reports that the Vatican has
reopened an investigation into
allegations that Degollado sexually
abused seminarians.
The accusers have tried for
years to call their accusations to
the attention of Pope John Paul II.
Maciel and the order have vigor-
ously denied 'the allegations, say-
ing the men are conspiring to
defame him.
In November, Pope John Paul II
praised Maciel on the 60th anniver-
sary of his ordination, citing his
"intense, generous and fruitful
priestly ministry." A week later,
Maciel's accusers were told the
Vatican was reopening a canon
law investigation of their claims
that stalled in 1999, according to
The Hartford (Conn.) Courant and
the National Catholic Reporter, an
independent newsweekly.
Maciel cited his age and his
wish to be present during a transi-
tion under the new general direc-
tor, the Rev. Alvaro Corcuera Mar-
tinez del Rio, a fellow Mexican, the
order's spokesman said. "He had
been planning this for at least three
years," said the Rev. Tom Williams.
Corcuera has been rector of the
Legionaries' international semi-
nary in Rome. Its U.S. headquar-
ters is in Orange, Conn., and it has
a seminary in Cheshire, Conn.
Maciel founded the order
when he was 20, i.n 1941. It
claims a membership of 65,000
people, including some 600
priests in 18 countries.

David Clohessy, national, direc-
tor of the Survivors Network for
Those Abused by Priests, said
Maciel's decision to step down
"does not, we believe, absolve
Vatican officials from investigat-
ing the serious sex abuse charges
against him."

Report studies how
tolerance is promoted
LONDON (AP) Days after
the head of Britain's education
watchdog criticized Muslim
schools for failing to promote tol-
erance, a report from his own
agency said evangelical Christian
schools have a worse record.
Inspectors from the Office for
Standards in Education rated 42.5
percent of private evangelical
Christian schools as failing to help
pupils learn to respect other cul-
tures and promote "tolerance and
harmony," compared to 36 per-
cent of Muslim schools, the Times
Educational Supplement reported.
The office's chief, David Bell,
angered Muslims last week when
he said Islamic schools could
threaten the coherence of British
society.
A spokeswoman for the educa-
tion office defended Bell's com-
ments as a contribution to "impor-
tant public debates." She noted
that Muslim schools educate
14,000 pupils in Britain, compared
with 5,000 students in Evangelical
Christian schools and 9,500 pupils
in Jewish schools.
Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, leader
of the Muslim Parliament of Great
Britain, urged Islamic schools to
take Bell's criticism seriously, even
though some Muslims were
offended.
"It is time that Muslim schools
seriously consider admitting a
proportion of children from other
faiths to give their Muslim pupils
an atmosphere of reality," Sid-
diqui said.

Grocery chain did
not break any laws
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP)
A Danish grocery chain didn't
break any laws when it fired a
-young Muslim woman who wore
her traditional head scarf at work,
Denmark's Supreme Court ruled.
The court's decision last Friday
confirmed previous rulings by
lower courts, all of which said that
Dansk Supermarked was within
its rights to dismiss Najla Ainouz in
2001 for wearing the scarf. Her
contract spelled out company pol-
icy that prohibits the wearing of
headgear in areas where cus-
tomers are present.
The Supreme Court said Ain-
ouz, now 26, signed a work con-
tract when she was employed by
the chain and didn't abide by the
rules set forth in it.
"I believe it is a part of democ-
racy to have a court settle such sit-
uations," Ainouz said in a brief
statement released by her union,
HK.
Last year, Ainouz and HK sued
after she was fired as a cashier at
the Foetex supermarket in Copen-
hagen in 2001. They sought
$17,300 in damages from the
store, part of the Dansk Super-
marked chain, the country's sec-
ond biggest retail group.
I The union said the retail group
discriminated against Ainouz
because of her religion. But the
store chain said its dress code is in
place to keep workers from stand-
ing out.
"Foetex is a politically, reli-
giously and culturally neutral
company," said Poul Guldborg,
Dansk Supermarked spokesman.
"The management and the
employees have agreed that we
want a neutral appearance for
customers."
About 149,000 people, or 2.8
percent of Denmark's 5.4 million
residents, are Muslim.
