Vision loss
can be prevented
TAMPA Americans are
living longer than ever before.
On average, life expectancy in
the U.S. is more than 76 years,
compared to 49 years a centu-
ry ago.
Age-related eye diseases
such as glaucoma pose a real
threat to self-sufficiency and
independence for seniors, and
as people age, maintaining
quality of life can become a
source of anxiety and con-
cern.
Typically associated with
increased pressure in the eye,
glaucoma can damage the
optic nerve and, if left untreat-
ed, lead to permanent vision
loss or even blindness.

Now it's Crennel's
turn to fix Browns
BEREA He's not Knute
Rockne, Bill Parcells or Bill
Belichick. Romeo Crennel
doesn't want to be any of
them, either. In his first news
conference as a head coach,
Crennel promised to be him-
self.
"I am who I am," he said.
And that's exactly why the
Cleveland Browns hired him.
Crennel's long wait ended
Tuesday as the lifelong assis-
tant coach and former New
England defensive coordina-
tor was introduced as Cleve-
land's coach, leaving the pow-
erful Patriots to fix the
Browns.

Code board

deals with

storm debris

By Maria Chandler
Okeechobee News
Property owners who were
cited by the code board for
having storm debris that has
not yet been picked up will
ask to appear before the
Okeechobee City Council.
D&A Properties was cited
by City of Okeechobee code
enforcement officers for gen-
eral cleaning and beautifica-
tion, but the code board
tabled the item at their meet-
ing Tuesday evening.

. D&A Properties is not the
only property with storm
debris to be removed.
Jamie Gamiotea, vice-
chairman of the City of Okee-
chobee Code Enforcement
Board, suggested contacting a
mulching company to take the
big stumps, although they
probably would have to be
taken to the company.
Tom Murphy, speaking on
behalf of D&A Properties, said

Leaking pipes

blamed for

odor at school

By Pete Gawda
Okeechobee News
Since before Christmas peo-
ple teaching and attending
classes in the northeast section
of the New Endeavor High
School building have been
smelling sewer gas. However, it
appears that that persistent
problem has finally been
cleared up.
"We believe we have the
leaking pipes repaired," said
Dale Barrett, director of opera-
tions for the school district.
Mr, Barrett said the source of
the odor was hard to locate
because it came from withi"-
the walls. However, he said

school officials have been
working to eliminate the odor
problem since if first became
noticeable after the hurricanes.
Each time they thought they
had it cleared up, it came back
again.
The services of Echols
Plumbing was secured to help
solve the problem.
"We did everything we
could to resolve the problem,"
Mr. Barrett said.
Finally, he said it became
apparent that smoke would
have to be used to detect leaks.
At a cost of about $5,500, the-
school system secured the

Suspect caught in
killing of deputy
PAISLEY -- A felon accused of
killing a sheriffs deputy and
wounding two others was cap-
tured Wednesday after a daylong
manhunt using helicopters,
armored vehicles and airboats in
the swamps and hills of the Ocala
National Forest, officers said.
Jason Lee Wheeler, 29, was
wounded in a gun fight with the
officers who captured him in
woods six miles from his home in
rural Lake County, about 30 miles
north of Orlando, at about 5 p.m.,
officers said.
'We were able to flush him out
of the woods," said Lake County
Sheriff Chris Daniels. He said he did
not know the nature of Wheeler's
wounds, and that none of .the
deputies who captured him were
wounded.
Wheeler allegedly ambushed
three Lake County deputies outside
his home at about 9 a.m. as they
responded to a domestic battery
call.
Deputy Wayne Koester died
after being transferred to a hospi-
tal, sheriffs Capt. Nick Pallitto said.
Deputies Tom McKane and Bill
Crotty were treated for non-life
threatening injuries a hospital in
nearbyEustis.
Legislator wants
alimony laws changed
TALLAHASSEE An Orlando
lawmaker has filed a bill that
would free individuals from paying
alimony to a former spouse who is
living with another person, even if
they're not married..
Sen. Gary Siplin said Tuesday he
is proposing legislation that would
require a court to terminate pay-'
ment of alimony if it can be shown
that a former spouse is cohabiting
with a person of the opposite sex.
"I think ex-spouses who do
receive alimony ought to receive
alimony," said Siplin, who is a
Democrat. But he said people who
get remarried or have a "defacto
remarriage, then at that time
alimony should cease."
Siplin's bill would not effect
child support payments.
Coach charged
with molestation
FORT WALTON BEACH A
middle school girls' soccer coach
has been charged with molesting a
former player when she was
between 12 and 15 years old.
Okaloosa County sheriff's
deputies went to Bruner Middle
School after classes Monday and
arrested Ira Tryon Jr., who also
taught emotionally handicapped
children.

S Tryon, 31, of Fort Walton Beach,
was charged with lewd or lascivi-
ous battery, a second-degree
felony punishable by up to 15 years
in prison if committed on a child
between 12 and 16 years old.
An arrest report says the girl
alleged she was enticed to perform
oral sex on Tryon at his home, the
school, her house and in neighbor-
ing Santa Rosa County.
Tryon was released Tuesday
from the Okaloosa County Jail in
Crestview under a $10,000 bond.
Tryon was suspended with pay
and the School Board will be asked
to put him on unpaid leave until
the case is resolved, school officials
said.

Odor

services of a corporation called
Omni Eye, Inc. to smoke test the
pipes. This test, basically, consists
of forcing smoke through the
pipes. The smoke will then
escape via holes or cracks in the
pipes.
Echols was again called in to
repair the leaks that had been
located. That work was complet-
ed last weekend.
Mr. Barrett estimated that the
school system had spent a total of
about $6,000 in plumbing servic-
es.
Lee Dixon, assistant superin-
tendent of schools, speculated
that the cause of the odor was a
combination of old decaying cast
iron pipes and the effects of the
hurricanes.
New Endeavor principal Andy
Brewer said that several walls and
floors had to be torn out. The
pipes have been repaired and the
walls and floors are now
replaced. He said he no longer
detected any odors.
However, the area actually
affected by the odors is not a part
of New Endeavor. The area in
question is used by the Exception-

with..."
"Everything he does, in the
classroom or at the field, is done
with quality and class," Mr. Kirsch
added.
"He is a hero to students both
present and past," said Beth Box,
2002 OHS graduate, in describing
Mr. Leidy.
Mr. Liedy was selected from a
field of 11 teachers representing
each of the county's schools and
the Exceptional Student Education
program.
A five-person committee made
the selection.
Businessman and county com-
missioner Ray Domer, who was
on the selection committee, said
the committee had a difficult task
and that there was no wrong
answer given the quality of the
candidates.
In other matters, the board:
expelled a ninth grader at

al Student Education program. It
is used by 135 students and 41
teachers, although not all at the
same time.
Mr. Brewer said some people
complained of burning throats.
Other than that, he said, the only
complaint was from the odor.
Mr. Dixon said that teachers
and students were given the
option of moving to other rooms
if they desired, but no one took
that option.
Neither Mr. Brewer, Mr. Barrett
nor Mr. Dixon are aware of any
teachers or students with serious
medical problems demanding a
doctor's attention.
However, a plumber working
in an enclosed bathroom area
was overcome by the gas when
he removed a commode. But,
said Mr. Barrett, the plumber was
fine the next day.
Mr. Barrett stressed that the
odor came from sewer gas, not
from bottled methane. The
school does not use bottled
methane.
Eddie Trent of the Okeechobee
County Health Department said
that an occasional whiff of sewer
gas would have no harmful health
effects. However, he said pro-
longed exposure could possibly
cause health problems.

New Endeavor High School for
defiance of authority;
expelled a 10th grader at New
Endeavor High School for defiance
of authority and verbal assault;
terminated the district's

Fourth Grade
Fourth Grade teachers would
like to say thank you to all of the
parents that came to our Feb. 1,
Parent Night. We know you want
to help your child as much as
possible. We hope the games
you took home accomplish just
that. -
Mrs. Tomlinson's class has
successfully completed their
Wildflower book and is now edit-
ing the Seashell book that will go
into the class library. We are
focusing on author's purpose,
cause and effect, and comparing
and contrasting. We are complet-
ing our reading theme and will be
testing this week. In math, we are
working on fractions and meas-
uring in customary units.
Mrs. Griffis' class is working
hard to learn all about fractions
and decimals and how they are
related. I hope the game that your
child brought home will be used
to help reinforce the skills we
have been learning in class. Stu-
dents will be "Flying High in a
Field of Fractions" in our class. Be
sure to ask your child about this
project. We will also be working
with measuring and division. I
continue to encourage you to
help your child at home to work
on mastering the multiplication
facts. This is a vital skill for so
many of the concepts we cover in
math this year. In reading, we
have just begun reading a book
titled, "How to Eat Fried Worms".
Students will be reading and
answering questions about the
book. Ask your child to tell you
about what they read each night.
Retelling what was read is a very
effective way to increase compre-
hension. Thank you to all the par-
ents and other family members in
attendance on Parent Night.

Still At It
"I see the Bush bashers are still at it. They just can't takedefeat.
Thanks to President Bush, he is trying to keep America safe, save
Social Security and cut pork belly spending. Wake up America we
finally have a president who cares."

Balloons
"I have to be critical of South Elementary for releasing their bal-
loons. It is such a cute idea and wonderful celebration. In fact I
received a balloon in my back yard on the Kissimmee River from
Land of Lakes, which is near the Tampa area. However, these bal-
loons do end up in the river and the ocean. When I go to Palm Beach
County and I see the balloons I pick them up because the turtles eat
them, the pelicans get them caught in their beaks and in their feet
and they could cause a life. I know they have discontinued releasing
the balloons from ships for that very reason. I don't know what the
answer is because it such a cute idea, but it does take a life."

Citizen Boards
"Every day I see in the paper where applicants are needed for citi-
zens' boards. Over a year ago I applied for the recycling (board) and
when I didn't get any answer I didn't get the job, because I was the
only member that applied. I resubmitted, but I guess my application
was thrown away. Okeechobee doesn't really recycle. Even when
we do the proper stuff with our recyclables, it all ends up at the land-
fill. Also, no one helps with the Adopt a Highway Program. Everyone
is overworked, but they refuse the help."

National Budget
"A simple definition of budget is money coming in being bal-
anced with spending. Before the massive tax cuts we had a budget
surplus. Since cutting the national .income Bush has created a wind-
fall for the drug companies and plans another for Wall Street at our
economic expense. Working poor pay Social Security tax on all their
wages, while wealthy pay tax on part. If all wages were taxed equal-
ly and the cuts repealed, we wouldn't need to fear a total collapse of
the dollar."

Smelly Air
"We live out here in Quail Woods and the odor of the dump is lin-
gering heavy today. We smell it first thing in the morning and up until
we go to bed. I wish all the commissioners that agreed to take every
one else's garbage had to live out here so they could smell it too."

Waiting for Food
"This is about not getting your food at a restaurant in a certain
time. I think if you are there sitting at a table you shouldn't have to
wait a half an hour to 45 minutes you should already have your
food. And I think if restaurants wouldn't cater to the ones that are
ordering out, and. start taking care of the ones that are there, we
would get our food quicker."

Stolen Horses
"I am a winter resident and I have been wondering whatever
happened to the veterinarian that stole the two horses and painted
their faces. One of the horses was from Kentucky. This didn't hap-
pen in Okeechobee, but I was just wondering if you had any idea."
(Editor's Note: Thanks for calling. Sony, but we don't have that
answer for you. Maybe some of our readers know and will call in
with the answer.)
Think Back
"Think back to when George Bush was in the White House; his
son George W was responsible for the collapse of the savings and
loan where a lot of people and farmers lost all their savings. They
were planning on their savings to help them with their Social Securi-
ty. President Bush, Sr. stopped George from being held responsible
for it."

Values
"I hope everyone has heard about President Bush's plans to cut
the funding to a number of programs. Many are critical educational
programs that focus on reducing drug use and school violence. I
have a hard time comprehending how those who agree with Bush's
cultural and religious views can justify his support for the wealthy,
big corporations and questionable foreign regimes. I see Jerry Fal-
well on CNN's Crossfire serving as a mouthpiece for conservative
Republicans, when much of their economic agenda is a contradic-
tion to real Christian virtues. Don't make excuses for Bush's conser-
vative economic agenda just because you support his social agenda.
Ask yourself which economic plans are closest to the Christian val-
ues of charity and selflessness. Remember, the Republican Party is
not the party of God. That label belongs to the Hezbollah, and
they're a bunch of terrorists."

Looking Back ...
After the hurricane of 1928 there were coffins stacked beside the road between Belle Glade and Pahokee to help collect
the bodies after the storm came ashore and passed over Lake Okeechobee.

The Okeechobee News, Thursday, Febru'ary 10, 2005

Vision loss can often be prevented

TAMPA ~- Americans are liv-
ing longer than ever before. On
average, life expectancy in the
U.S. is more than 76 years,
compared to 49 years a century
ago. ,
Age-related eye diseases
such as glaucoma pose a real
threat to self-sufficiency and
independence for seniors, and
as people age, maintaining
quality ol life can become a
source of anxiety and concern.
Typically associated with
increased pressure in the eye,
glaucoma can damage the
optic nerve and, if left untreat-
ed, lead to permanent vision
loss or even blindness.
According to Prevent Blind-
ness America's ,Vision Prob-
lems in the U.S..report, more
than 2.2 million Americans age
40 and older have glaucoma.
"At-risk Americans need to
be aware that they can protect

their vision and their quality of
life by finding glaucoma early
and treating it," said Sarah Jor-
dan Holmes, CFRE, president
and CEO, Prevent Blindness
Florida.
At first, glaucoma usually
damages peripheral vision, and
people with the condition may
not notice the symptoms. Over
time, however, central vision
may also become impaired
and, without treatment, lead to
blindness.
"We urge all people age 40
and older to find out if they are
at risk for glaucoma and visit
their eye doctor regularly,"
added Holmes.
An interactive Adult Vision
Risk Assessment is available
online at www.preventblind-
ness.org/eye_tests. In addition,
www.preventblindness.org '
provides general information
on glaucoma, definitions of

various eye care piolessionals,
a checklist fo evye doctor
appointments and resources
on other age-related eye pro)-
lems.
Prevent Blindness America
has also partnered with Aller-
gan, Inc., in the creation of Pro-
tectVision.org, an online
resource for eye care profes-
sionals who treat patients with
glaucoma. The website offers.
free downloadable fact sheets
for patients and links to contin-
uing education as well as
research summaries and a
range of other practice man-
agement resources.
Prevent. Blindness Florida
offers two free fact sheets,
Glaucoma Eye Q Test, and
Glaucoma 17-Point Checklist
for people with glaucoma or
those who'may be at risk for
this age-related eye disease.

Career Shadowing Day a huge success

Students enrolled in the Acad-
emy of Finance at Okeechobee
High School took part in Career
Shadowing Day on Groundhog
Day, Wednesday, Feb. 2. The 26
students spent the day shadow-
ing local business personnel
from electricians to insurance
agents to public accountants.
Some of the many experiences
included visiting all of the city
departments, viewing a deposi-
tion, watching x-rays, and screen
printing t-shirts.
Career Shadowing is an
opportunity for students to take
part in a day at work and to net-
work themselves for possible
future employment. It is also an
excellent chance for interaction
between the community and
school. "Local businesses have
been more than accommodat-
ing when it comes time to sched-
ule the shadowing event" said
Academy of Finance Director
Daryl Roehm.
"Each year students return
with job offers and exciting sto-
ries about their experiences."
Comments from local business-
es included: "we would be
happy to participate again,"
"seemed to comprehend very
well," and'"she seemed to be
very interested in what we do
here."
The Academy of Finance is a
program at the high school
offered to students that are pos-
sibly interested in pursuing a
career in finance and to get more
students interested in the finance
industry. Students complete a
-predetermined schedule of
courses in order to be recog-
nized as completers of the pro-
gram. Some of the those courses
include accounting I & II, princi-
ples of entrepreneurship, and a
150 hour paid internship at the
