Museum on Wheels

Warner Southern wel-
comed Angela Jennings, Cura-
tor, and the Sarikofa African-
American Culture Exhibit to
campus on Thursday, Feb. 15.
Ms. Jennings is an Exhibitor of
African-American History and
Cultural Ambassador of Good-
will, from Denmark, South Car-
olina. The Sankofa exhibit is
considered to be one of the
foremost collections of African
American history readily avail-
able to all audiences.
The Sankofa exhibit spans
the period of 1860 to the pres-
ent and takes the audience on
a journey through slavery, the
era of King Cotton, emancipa-
tion, African American inven-
tions, Dr. Martin Luther King
and the civil rights movement.
The exhibit is a testament to
the contributions that African
Americans have made to this
country and to the world.

Warner Southern students
and faculty members toured
and studied the exhibit
throughout the day and lis-
tened to the riveting story Ms.
Jennings told about an experi-
Sence of her ancestor who was
a slave. The dramatizations of
certain periods and historical
figures allow those in the audi-
ence to "experience" both the
pain and pride of the history
portrayed.
The term, Sankofa, means
to "use the wisdom of the past
to build the future."
Warner Southern College,
founded in 1968, is a Christian

HBS announces new

watercolor pencil workshop

LAKE WALES, Fla. For the
first time, Historic Bok Sanctuary
will offer a two-day workshop,
"Illustrating Plants in Watercolor
Pencil," on March 10 from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. and March 11
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Winter
Park artist Redenta Soprano, a
freelance illustrator specializing
in botanical art, will teach the
workshop. The cost is $115 or
$99 for members and space is
limited.
"Water soluble pencils are an
exciting and relatively new prod-
uct that adapt to a variety of
techniques," explains Pirjo
Restina, Sanctuary curator of
education. "Students will discov-
er the possibilities inherent in
pencils with characteristics of
both wet and dry media while
learning to draw and paint
botanical forms."
Soprano has exhibited her
watercolors at the Sanctuary, the'
University of Central Florida in
Orlando, New York and Brook-
lyn Botanical Gardens, the Horti-
cultural Society of New York, the
Bartlett Arboretum in Stamford,
Conn., and Smith's Gallery in
Covent Garden, London. After
earning an undergraduate
degree in Natural Sciences and
Art, Soprano received a post-
graduate certificate in Scientific
Illustration from Middlesex Poly-
technic in England. While living
abroad, she apprenticed at the
Museum of London as an
archaeological illustrator.

In addition to teaching class-
es in botanical illustration at the
New York Botanical Garden and
the John C. Campbell Folk
School, Soprano lectures on the
history of botanical illustration
and was curator of botanical art
exhibitions at the Bartlett
Arboretum. Her works are in pri-
vate and corporate collections
including the Readers Digest
Corporation, the Hunt Institute
of Botanical Documentation at
Carnegie Mellon and the Bruce
Museum in Greenwich, Conn.

Scam
Continued From Page 1
Frontage Road, lot 222, for to
counts of Possession of a Firearm
by a Convicted Felon, when they
checked his criminal history and
saw that he had previously been
convicted of felony, fraud and had
in his possession a handgun and
an SKS assault rifle. Further checks
revealed Gorman has a warrant
from South Carolina, and a war-
rant from Tennessee, both for
defrauding the elderly in those
states. After he faces Polk County
charges, he will be extradited to
each of these states to face the

fraud charges there.
Traveling scam artists earn their
living by preying on citizens, usually
elderly, who need home improve-
ment work done, such as roofs and
driveways coated or repaired. Once
they get a contract and a down-pay-
ment on the promised work, they
leave town, only to set up camp in
another unsuspecting town and
prey on the citizens there.
Sheriff Judd reminds citizens,
"Be aware of criminals like these
and notify law enforcement
immediately if you feel you have
been a victim of a traveling scam
artist. Our deputies will maintain a
heavy presence anywhere gypsies
camp out until Polk County is rid
of these criminals."

and "Breakin' Up is Hard to Do"
The Frostproof Interact and

projects in the Frostproof com-

munity and local schools, includ-.
ing the upgrade of lighting in the

ing Arts Center.

Red Cross gears up for

Babysitter's Boot Camp

POLK COUNTY, Fla. With
spring break rapidly approaching,
Polk County teens and pre-teens
might be watching younger sib-
lings or babysitting to earn some
summer spending money. The Red
Cross wants those babysitters to be
prepared for anything by taking
part in the Polk County Chapter's
Babysitter's Boot Camp.
This four-day course will teach
the Red Cross Babysitter's Train-
ing course, along with Infant and
Child CPR and First Aid. Designed
for children ages 11-18, Babysit-
ter's Training teaches participants
the skills and confidence of a
responsible babysitter in a fun and
interactive class. The course pro-

vides training to develop skills in
five critical areas: Leadership,
safety and safe play, basic care,
first aid and professionalism. Dur-
ing the boot camp, not only will
participants be trained and certi-
fied in Infant and Child CPR and
First Aid, as well as issued cards to
verify their certification, they can
then translate these skills into a
professional regular occupation.
Graduates of the course have
moved on to become the
babysitters for their churches,
neighbors, and communities,
providing a valuable service and
doing so with American Red
Cross safety standards.
The course will be March 26-29

from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Stu-
dents will need to bring a bag lunch
each day. The cost to attend is $125.

A legitimate role for the press is that of "the public's watchdog."
Most citizens can't spend the time necessary to personally observe
their public officials at work, or to determine how well public insti-
tutions are carrying out their public mission.

But too many newspapers these days act more like "mad dogs"
than "watchdogs."

We're proud to be different. We try to carry out our "watchdog"
role as humble representatives of the public, always maintaining a
courteous tone and our reputation for purposeful neutrality.

How are we doing?

Let us know by mailing feedback@newszap.com or calling your

Counties must find new water sources

WEST PALM BEACH The
Governing Board of the South
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict (SFWMD) has authorized
the adoption of a rule that would
limit water supply demands
from the Everglades and Loxa-
hatchee River Watershed over
levels that existed prior to April
2006. The rule would affect
water suppliers in urban areas
along the District's lower east
coast, including Monroe, Miami-
Dade, Broward and Palm Beach
Counties.
During the dry season, Lower
East Coast water suppliers cur-
rently depend on an estimated
500 million gallons of water per
day from the Everglades to sus-
tain their primary drinking water
source, the Biscayne Aquifer. In
turn, low dry season water levels
have disturbed the Everglades
ecosystem and the State of Flori-
da has committed billions of dol-
lars to reversing these impacts
by restoring natural flows and
levels.
Over the past six years since
the state and federal govern-
ments approved the Compre-
hensive Everglades Restoration
Plan (CERP), the SFWMD has
imposed limitations on permits
for Everglades water to address
environmental concerns on the
assumption that CERP would be
implemented as scheduled.

In October 2004, acknowl-
edging early delays:, the SFWMD
announced Acceler8, a far-
reaching initiative to expedite
the funding, design and con-
struction of a series of critical
Everglades restoration projects
that will restore 100,000 acres of
wetlands, expand water treat-
ment areas, and provide 428,000
acre-feet of additional water
storage a decade ahead of
schedule.
However, due to unprece-
dented growth and ongoing
delays in federal funding for
Everglades restoration, the Dis-
trict is now compelled to impose
stricter limitations on the use of
Everglades water if it is to pro-
tect this natural resource.
As a result of the new rule,
cities needing additional water
supplies will be required to seek
sources that are not dependent
upon the Everglades for
recharge. These alternative
water supply solutions include
recycling water, using reclaimed
water to recharge the Biscayne
Aquifer or drawing water from
the deeper Floridan Aquifer,
which also would require treat-
ment before being deemed safe
to drink.
"This is a big win for the envi-
ronment and a bold action by
our Governing Board amid
apprehensions from several

local governments and utilities,"
said SFWMD Governing Board
Chairman Kevin McCarty. "Our
water resources are not unlimit-
ed; and this rule will ensure that
local governments manage
growth more responsibly, pro-
mote sensible water conserva-
tion and preserve our water
resources for future generations
to use and enjoy."
"Mike Collins, my colleague
on the South Florida Water Man-
agement District's Governing
Board, has been the leading
advocate for the adoption of this
rule, and he should be com-
mended for his leadership," he
added.
A key provision of the rule is
that existing consumptive water
use permits will not be affected.
The rule only will apply when
existing permits are scheduled
to expire, requiring renewal by
the District. The rule also pro-
vides a "grace" period during
which temporary increases in
dependence on Everglades
water will be allowed while
alternative supplies are being
developed. This will prevent
immediate shortfalls in water
necessary to continue meeting
public drinking water needs as
concrete steps are taken by
water suppliers to implement
other sources.
"The regional water availabil-

ity rule is essential for protecting
the water left in the Everglades
for restoration," added SFWMD
Executive Director Carol Ann
Wehle. "It represents a strong
and very clear policy statement
from our board that the South
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict will protect water for the
environment."
"This rule is an important first
step to ensuring the water need-
ed to restore the environment is
reserved," said David Anderson,
Executive Director of Audubon
of Florida.
Several state and federal laws
regarding implementation of
CERP require the SFWMD to
protect water necessary for the
restoration of the Everglades.
In April 2006, the SFWMD
governing board authorized Dis-
trict staff to initiate the develop-
ment of a rule to limit increased
reliance on the Everglades sys-
tem and dependent groundwa-
ter as "sources of limited avail-
ability". The District
subsequently held five rounds of
workshops and issued five rule
drafts in response to comments
from stakeholders, prior to
developing and publishing
today's final draft. Rule adoption
could be prevented if a legal
challenge is filed against it.

Parents warned about modeling scams

TALLAHASSEE, FL Attorney
General Bill McCollum last week
cautioned parents about model
and talent search agencies which
promise children fame and for-
tune but may disguise significant
fees often associated with the
offers. The Attorney General's
consumer advisory was issued in
anticipation of an upcoming event
advertised in the Tallahassee Area.
Offers like these are a classic
example of something that is too
good to be true," Attorney General
McCollum said. "I urge parents to
thoroughly research the prospec-

tive talent agencies before signing
any contracts. A bit of effort ahead
of time can often safeguard
against disappointment and loss
of resources the long run."
Talent agencies often tempt
individuals with the promise of
meeting film directors, produc-
ers, model agents, and ad agen-
cies at various "free" events.
Unfortunately, many parents find
that nothing happens at the "free
evaluation" because the actual
evaluation, which is attended by
casting agents and other talent
scouts, takes place in a different

Camp seeks
junior counselors
BARTOW L-The Polk County
Leisure Services Division is now
registering junior counselors to
assist with the Camp R.O.C.K.
program. Applicants must be 13-
17 years of age. Junior Coun-
selors assist site staff with the
daily operations of the camp.and
receive valuable life-experiences
in basic job skills and may be eli-
gible for future employment as a
staff counselor. Summer camp-
sites are located at various loca-
tions throughout the county.
Junior Counselor applications
are available or on the web at
www.polk-county.net. Applica-
tions must be received by March
.1. A mandatory orientation will
take place on Monday, March 12
from 9 a.m. 3 p.m. at the Eloise
Resource Center (710 Snively
Ave. in Eloise). For more infor-
mation on registration and site

location, frequently out of state.
Those events come with a heavy
access fees in addition to trans-
portation, lodging and other
additional costs.
Attorney General McCollum
offered the following tips to con-
sider before signing up with a tal-
ent agent or agency:
Research a company's back-
ground and compare it with
other talent scouting agencies
before signing contracts or pay-
ing required fees.
Never pay large fees required
up-front. Fraudulent companies

will often charge a significant fee to
place photographs on awebsite.
Be aware that most legitimate
agencies do not advertise in news-
papers, solicit through the mail, or
"scout" for talent in malls and
other public places.
Make sure to get any agree-
ment in writing.
Consumers who believe they
may be victims of fraud may con-
tact the Attorney General's fraud
hotline at 1-866-9-NO-SCAM (1-866-
966-7226) or file a complaint online
at http://myfloridalegal.com.

College-bound high school stu-
dents can register by March 9 for
the next national ACT test date. The
test will be administered nation-
wide on Saturday, April 14, 2007.
Students who miss the March 9
deadline can do a late registration
for an additional fee. The late regis-
tration deadline is March 23. Stu-
dents can register online at
www.actstudent.org or they can
get registration materials from high
school counselors.
The ACT is accepted by all col-
leges and universities that use
admissions tests in their applica-
tion process. It's an academic
achievement test covering four
subject areas: English, reading,
mathematics, and science. Stu-
dents can choose to take the ACT
with or without the optional Writ-
ing Test. The ACT costs $29 without
the Writing Test and $43 with writ-
ing. The majority of colleges don't
require a writing score, so students
should check with the colleges
they're considering before register-
ing for the test. The late registration

fee is$19.
Colleges and universities use
ACT scores, along with other
information, to determine if.a stu-
dent is academically ready for col-
lege-level coursework. Students
with lower ACT scores are likely
.to need remedial courses to help
bring them up-to-speed for col-
lege-level courses.
This is why many juniors take
the ACT, check their scores and
then take additional coursework to
address academic weaknesses
before re-taking the ACT as seniors.
With the ACT, students can
choose not to report any scores
automatically to colleges. Later,
after receiving their scores, stu-
dents can decide to test again
before reporting scores. Colleges
only see the scores that students
choose to report-they don't see
all scores for each time a student
takes the ACT.
For more information about the
ACT, including sample tests and
online preparation, go to www.act-
student.org.

Homeowners warned

of termite swarm risk

TALLAHASSEE Florida
Agriculture and Consumer Ser-
vices Commissioner Charles H.
Bronson is warning Florida
homeowners that termite swarm-
ing season has begun and they
need to protect their homes from
an infestation. Termites cause mil-
lions of dollars in damage to
houses in Florida everyyear.
Swarming season occurs
when termites begin to "swarm"
-or leave their colonies to search
for new nesting sites. Many home-
owners discover that they have a
termite problem when they find
-termite swarmers (winged, black-
insects about 1/4-inch long) in
their homes.
Although termites can be
found throughout Florida, at least
half of the homes in this state have
no termite protection. The Depart-
ment regulates and licenses pest
control companies and conducts
regular inspections to ensure the
businesses are adhering to the
rules and regulations governing
pesticides. Consumers can contact
the Department's Division of Agri-
cultural Environmental Services to
find out whether a pest control
company is properly licensed and
to find out how many consumer
complaints have been filed against
a particular business.
"Most pest control operations
in Florida have the proper training
and have good business prac-
tices," Mr. Bronson said. "But
there are unlicensed companies
out there, and when you are deal-
ing with something as serious as,
termite infestations you want to
be sure the business is following
the law, and that employees are
properly trained and provide
.effective and safe pest control."
The two types of termites that
are predominant in Florida are
subterranean termites, which live

in soil and attack structures from
the ground up, and drywood ter-
mites, which can live in wood in a
building and can go undetected
until they cause extensive, visible
damage. Licensed pest manage-
ment professionals have the
expertise to inspect buildings and
treat them to prevent an infesta-
tion or provide treatment when
the insects ate found.
Steps that consumers can take
to protect their homes from this
destructive pest are:
Remove wood piles and
other cellulose sources from areas
under and next to their homes.
Have an. annual inspection
of their homes by a licensed-pro-
fessional pest control company.
Direct water sources, such as
air conditioner drip lines and roof
downspouts, away from the struc-
ture's foundation.
When purchasing homes,
carefully check the termite protec-
tion history of the home.
Obtain a termite protection
contract and renew it annually.
Mr. Bronson said consumers
also need to be sure to read a ter-
mite protection contract before
signing it. Some contracts only
require that the company retreat a
home if termites are found. Bron-
son says it's better to have a
"retreat and repair" contract,
which requires the pest control
business to repair any damage
caused by termites after a home
has been inspected and treated.
All Floridians are urged to take
advantage of information avail-
able from the Department about
how to protect their homes and
