High school students facing drug charges WEST PALM BEACH Thir- teen students were charged with dealing drugs in five Palm Beach County high schools as part of a dragnet that involved young-look- ing undercover officers who gath- ered information in school hall- ways, classrooms and bathrooms. Six adult students and seven juveniles were arrested Thursday on 33 felony drug warrants that included charges of possession or conspiracy to sell cocaine, mari- juana, LSD and ecstasy, Xanax and painkillers, the county's sheriff's office said. School principals not teach- ers were the only ones aware of the undercover officers' pres- ence. The arrests took place at Jupiter, John I. Leonard, Dwyer, Forest Hill and Wellington high schools. Man is convicted of murder in crash FORT MYERS A man was convicted of second-degree mur- der for causing the high-speed crash that killed his 15-year-old girlfriend. A jury Thursday found Arthur Berube, 21, guilty in the death of .Brianne Miller. He faces 25 years to life in prison at sentencing in March. On May 12, 2002, Berube, then 18, stabbed Manuel Rodriguez Jr. multiple times outside a Lehigh Acres 7-Eleven, stole Rodriguez's Ford. Expedition and led police on a chase before crashing into a tree just outside downtown Fort Myers. Berube was high on cocaine and alcohol and driving faster than 100 mph when he crashed. The state attorney's office charged Berube with first-degree felony murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence. Jurors convicted him of the lesser charge. Berube also was convicted of driving under the influence- manslaughter, carjacking with a deadly weapon, aggravated bat- tery with a deadly weapon, felony fleeing the police and driving under the influence-property damage. 41 people arrested in gasoline thefts MIAMI A ring of suspected gasoline thieves was rounded up and accused of buying more than 40,000 gallons a week from sta- tions with stolen credit cards, then reselling the fuel, authorities said. Miami-Dade County investiga- tors arrested 41 people Thursday who will be charged with racket- eering violations, which target organized crime activities. They also face at least 534 individual criminal charges. The ring, using stolen credit card numbers, stole more than $1 million of gasoline, filling illegally rigged vehicles at South Florida stations, according to an indict- ment against Felix Enrique Hidal- go, 37. Some cards were stolen origi- nals, but most were "skimmed" - using gas station customers' numbers lifted by illegal card- reading machines, the indictment said. The gas was taken to an illegal fuel depot, then resold into the into the local gas delivery system, the indictment said. The ring was accused of rig- ging 30 vehicles with illegal fuel tanks or flexible bladders to hold from 50 to 500 gallons of gasoline. a S w * "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" B- S .:~ I Staff photo/Debra Smythe No injuries According to Officer Gary Bell of the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office, on Tuesday, Jan. 25, William Pierre of Palm City driving his 1993 Cadillac Sedandeville, was attempt- ing to turn left on to U.S. 441 S.E from the Lakeside Restaurant as Cinthia Ebanks was driving her 2000 Toyota Camry northbound on U.S. 441 when contact between the vehi- cles occurred. Officer Bell stated that Mr. Pierre was cited for failure to yield the right of way to' Ms. Ebanks and that no one was seriously injured. -a OCRA Continued From Page 1 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 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" -0om4mlo a- -d - 4..,. w I ~ ~ gmp 1*~~ __ __ .. m * 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.) Okeechobee News Our Purpose-...

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.'"

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.

The Fishin' Line By Loma Jablonski Okeechobee News Congratulations to Craig Smith and Bill Rose for their win at the Okeechobee Contractors' bass tourney last weekend.

The 3 p.m. weigh-in will be held at Okee- Tantie. Bait shops state that speck fish- ing has slowed down a bit this week. There was not much action Friday because of the bad weather. Earlier in the week specks were being caught in the Kissimmee River, at King's Bar and Harney Pond using minnows, 1000C Mid- south and 1100 Midsouth 2-inch jigs. Because of the cloudy water, it is best to use bright colors such as red or orange. 'One of the area's local guides Entry fees are $30 for each doubles entry. All entrants will receive an event T-shirt along with a barbecue chicken dinner that will include chicken, baked beans, coleslaw and drink on the first day of the event.

I "\ and tournament winners has stat- ed that there are still a lot of bass to be caught in clear water areas using live bait. "It's easier to feed them than to fool them," he said. He has also stated that there are a lot of bass in the river. They are also catching them at Cody's Cove, along the inside at Indian Prairie and at Twin Palms southwest toward Dyess Ditch in the hydrilllawith Flukes. Early in the morning bass are also being caught on white buzzbaits. Then later in the day they 'are biting on floating top water plugs. Anglers are also catching bass at Monkey Box, flippin' mats of water hyacinth and pitching with heavy weights around the cattail clumps. The top baits have been 3- inch black/blue crawdads, and watermelon-colored tube baits. It is supposed to be rainy and windy on Saturday, so be careful venturing out onto the lake.

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.
