Speaking at Boston's spring

Severe Damage: Work begins on Pizza Hut

Fate of Pizza Hut uncertain

By Loma Jablonski
Okeechobee News
The residents of Okee-
chobee have been anxiously
waiting for the re-opening of
one of their favorite restau-
rants.
Six months after the hurri-
canes Frances and Jeanne
blew through Okeechobee,
the Pizza Hut restaurant at the
intersection of Wolff Road and
U.S. 441 S. has remained
closed with its battered red
roof a reminder of the summer
most area residents would like
to forget.
Employees of Franchising
Property Service of Wichita,
Kans., arrived in town this
week to begin evaluation of
the existing Pizza Hut building.
"We are gutting the build-
ing so that insurance adjusters
can come in to evaluate
whether it Would be better to
repair the building or replace
it," stated F.P.S. supervisor
Dale Tilley.
There was a great deal of
water damage that resulted in
moldy conditions following
the storms. Currently, the

Zoning

changes

questioned

By Pete Gawda
Okeechobee News
Many times zoning changes
are routinely approved by the
Okeechobee County Board of
County Commissioners with lit-
tle or not comment, but that
wasn't the case at Thursday's
meeting.
Three of the four zoning
changes under consideration
were questioned. Commission-
-ers also declined to schedule a
public hearing on abandoning
a plattedd easement in Treasure
Island.
I After some debate, Mile
High Funding Group was grant-
ed a change in zoning from resi-
dential single family to residen-

tial general. The property is
located on the north side of
S.W 28th Street, west of Osceo-
la Middle School. The develop-
ers have stated that they want to
build multi-family residences
on the property.
Fred Walker, who lives on
S.W. 28th St., expressed con-
cern for increased traffic with
the schools nearby.
Commission Chairman
John Abney asked Mr. Walker if
he would approve of the rezon-
ing if the road were improved.
Mr. Walker replied that the
location was not a good spot
for apartments because of the
school traffic, children walking

The interior of Pizza Hut was gutted to enable insurance
adjusters to evaluate the amount of damage and to ascer-
tain whether it would be better to rebuild or repair the
building.

majority of the building has
been torn out including the
seating area, the restrooms
and the cooking areas.
"I can't give you an estimat-
ed re-opening date until it is
decided which way the com-
pany is going to go," said Mr.
Tilley. "If they decide to tear
down the building and

rebuild, it will take longer to
re-open." .
The good news is that work
is at least starting on the popu-
lar restaurant. The bad news is
that the community will have
to continue to watch the tele-
vision advertisements for Pizza
Hut and hope for a speedy
completion.

Prowlers take road trip

around Lake Okeechobee

By Loma Jablonski
Okeechobee News
Twenty-three Plymouth
Prowlers made their way
through Okeechobee County
Saturday, March 5, to the
delight of visitors and locals
alike.
The owners of these limit-
ed-production vehicles took
advantage of the beautiful
Florida weather to take their
prized possessions out for a
pre-spring airing. During their

road trip, they stopped at
Lightsey's Restaurant at Okee-
Tantie Campground and Mari-
na.
The Prowler, built by Ply-
mouth, had a short life span.
The first ones came off the line
at the Conner Avenue Assem-
bly Plant in Detroit, Mich., in
1997. With only 457 cars made
that year, 343 were sent to the
Us.; 53 were sent to Canada;
a t, 61 were Pilot Prowlers.
With only 396 for sale, most
engineering Pilot Prowlers

were destroyed by Chrysler
Corporation. The cars all came
in one color purple.
In 1999 production
increased and 3,900 cars
rolled onto the streets in pur-
ple, yellow, black and red.
The year 2000 saw produc-
tion dip to 2,724 cars that
came in purple, yellow, black,
red, silver, Woodward
(silver/black), and two/tone.
There were 13 colors avail-

Zoning
Continued From Page 1
to school and traffic around the
churches.
Another area resident, Leroy
Briney, also spoke against the
rezoning. He, too, felt that it
should not be that close to the
schools.
"We don't need that," he
asserted.
Mr. Briney called attention to
other areas that have recently
been zoned residential general
and asked how much residential
general property Okeechobee
needs.
Joey Hoover, chairman of the
affordable housing committee,
expressed an opposing view. He
said that a recent survey indicated
that 780 units are needed. He said
there is a critical need for housing
for teachers and other profession-
als.
Mr. Hoover added that multi-
family units are necessary for eco-
nomic development.
In contrast to the other speak-
ers, Mr. Hoover asserted that the
location in question was ideal
because it is close to areas where
people would be working or
shopping and would therefore cut
down on traffic on other roads in
the county.
Mr. Hoover noted that the
property in question was a small
part of a larger development. He
said the entire development
would house the same total num-
ber of families, whether or not a
part of that total was in multi-fami-
ly housing.
Mr. Briney expressed the opin-
ion that teachers might not want
to live so close to where they
work.
Housing Official Bill Royce was
asked what type of housing would
be built on the property.
He replied that at this stage of
the development, it is not known.
Mr. Abney stated that he had
some concerns about the project,
but they were not necessarily hin-
drances to the project.
"We need multi-family hous-
ing; it would be a good location,"
he asserted.
The second zoning matter dis-

cussed also generated some
opposition.
Community Utilities II, Inc. had
requested a change in zonining
from the existing agriculture and
residential mobile home to resi-
dential general. They also
expressed a desire to construct
multi-family housing.
The property in question is
located on the west side of S.E.
18th Terrace and north of S.E.
32nd St.
The planning board had rec-
ommended that commissioner
deny the request.
Mr. Royce expressed concern
that there are a row of single-fami-
ly lots in front of the property. He
was also concerned with egress to
the property since only a 70-foot
wide strip connects it with S.E.
18th Terrace. He said the pro-
posed zoning was not consistent
with the area.
Attorney Tom Conley, repre-
senting the applicant, spoke in
favor of the zoning change.
"I can't think of a better place
for multi-family," he said.
He said the property begs for
rezoning because it can't be used
as it is.
Commissioners voted in favor
of the request.
The next zoning issue consid-
ered was also questioned.
Oscar Daniel, owner and Land
Ventures of America, LLC, appli-
cant, requested a change in zon-
ing from agriculture to residential
general. The expressed reason for
the zoning change was to allow
for multifamily use.
An area resident, Howard Van
Wert asked if commercial devel-
opments would be allowed on the
U. S. 441 S.E. side of the property.
Mr. Royce replied that the prop-
erty would have to be rezoned for
that to happen.
Mr. Van Wert also alluded to
traffic problems. He asked about
four laning U.S. 441 S.E. and was
told that that probably would not
happen for awhile.
Commissioners Ray Domer
then inquired about water and
sewer.
Mr. Royce said that it was not
Known at this time how the
developer planned to handle
those utilities. He went on to add

that half-acre lots can use septic
tanks.
"We don't want to encourage
this," Commissioner Gene
Woods said of using more septic
tanks.
Mr. Domer said that to allow
more septic tanks would be out
of the question.
The rezoning request passed
even though Commissioner Elvie
Posey stated that he is in favor of
rezoning but not in favor of more
septic tanks.
Thomas King requested aban-
donment of a platted drainage
easement in Treasure Island. His
mobile home encroaches 5 feet
onto,the easement. The commis-
sioners were requested to sched-
ule a public hearing on the mat-
ter.
Mr. Royce noted that the road
and bridge department uses the
drainage easements in Treasure
Island for drainage from roadside
-swales to the canals. In addition,
he was very concerned about set-
ting a precedent if the easement
were abandoned.
Attorney Devin Maxell, speak-
ing in behalf of Mr. King, said
what his client wanted was relief
and not necessarily abandondon-
ment. He suggested that the
encroachment be allowed to
remain for the life of the 1984
model mobile home currently on
the property. Then, he said, when
the mobile home is' replaced the
problem would go away.
Commissioner Clif Betts said
he was not in favor of holding a
public hearing on the matter.
Mr. Posey said he was "totally
not in favor" of allowing an
encroachment on a county right-
of-way.
"If you allow this, you are set-
- ting a precedent," Mr. Domer
added.
Commissioners declined to
schedule a public hearing and
passed a motion to seek removal
of the mobile home.
The one noncontroversial real
estate issue dealt with. D. Louse
Kreigl Robertson's requested
change in zoning from residential
mixed to neighborhood commer-
cial in order to build an office
building. The property in ques-
tion is located at 5900 S.R 70 East.

Pregnancy Resource Center

director speaks to Rotarians

By Bennett Yeilding
Melinda Belleville who is
director of the Pregnancy
Resource Center, located at 1505
S. Parrott Ave. Unit D, here in
Okeechobee, spoke about the
functions of the center. The cen-
ter provides testing, counseling,
parenting classes and .life skill
classes to women who are preg-
nant. Most of the participants are
single women, many who have
nowhere to go or place to turn for
help. The center provides a posi-
tive, uplifting environment for the
women and as the womenpartic-
ipate they earn "bonus dollars"
they can use to purchase items

they need. The center depends on
corporate funds and private con-
tributions for support. They have
no other source of funds. Some
women are provided placement
in "safe" homes to stay during
their pregnancy. The centers will
provide counseling for post-abor-
tion clients as well. Ms Belleville
stated that the life skills classes are
really effective because many of
these women have never learned
skills they need to make it on their
own. She ended her presentation
by asking if the club or an individ-
ual would like to help support the
,,center to please contact her. The
phone number is (863) 763-8859

or you can just go by the address
printed above.

In other business President
Crawford reminded the members
that-we would be operating a
booth at Speckled Perch Festival,
March 12 and 13. Also that we
have the drink concession for the
big motorcycle rally at the Ag
Center on May 28-30 and need
volunteers for that also. Our
LO.S.T. bicycle ride on the dike at
the lake is scheduled for April 23.
All you biking enthusiasts be sure
and mark your calendars. Rotary-
meets each Tuesday at noon at
Golden Corral. Come join us.

If you haven't visited Osceola
Middle School (OMS) lately, you
may want to make a stop by Build-
ing 2 to see the latest projects from
Mrs. Childs' history class. Her sev-
enth grade students have been
studying Colonial times and the
Colonial "Eliminations." Students
have created fantastic artwork
using this technique, and superb
examples are decorating the hall.
Come take a peek.
The Jaguars are hard at work at
their bridge building project, a
hands-on study of engineering and
economics principles. The students
form groups and become corpora-
tions, and they are given a budget.
They mriust purchase bridge build-
ing supplies (in this case, tooth-
picks and glue), design a bridge,
and build it. At the end of the proj-

ect, their bridges are subjected to a
strength test, and the .corporations
whose bridges hold the most
weight and maintain operations
within their budget win. We are
looking forward to seeing their fin-
ished products.
The time has come where OMS
students will face the FCAT testing.
Parents can help their students be
prepared for the test days next
week by getting them to bed early,
making sure they have eaten a pro-

tein-rich breakfast, and sending
them to school with plenty of
sharpened #2 pencils. The stu-
dents are well-prepared for the
exams, and we wish them all the
best in their test-taking.

ROAD Number
"If you would be so kind as to reprint the phone number for
Recovering Okeechobee After Disaster (ROAD). I tried calling the
phone number when I read it in Speak Out, and I've tried calling it
many times but no one answers."
(Editor's Note: Thanks for calling. Since the staff is made up
of volunteers, there may be times when no one is in the office.
We were told that their answering machine malfunctioned the
other day so they missed a lot of calls maybe even yours. The
group's phone number is (863) 357-4177.)
Junkyard Reply
"In response to the article titled 'Junkyard Debate' in the Speak
Out section of the newspaper: while the author of the article
enjoys looking at the sight of the junkyard many of us will contin-
ue to appreciate the 'conglomerate next door' that supplies us
with goods and services so we don't have to drive 40 miles one
way to shop. I've noticed the conglomerate employees are many
of our friends and neighbors of the community, also."

.Compliment
"This is a compliment to the animal rescue. I adopted a little
dog from them and the two ladies that work there went way
beyond their job to help me. They couldn't have treated me or my
new pet any better.!
Dan Rather
"Dan Rather being replaced as the CBS anchorman is proba-
bly because the Bush clan doesn't like him. Should the president
or the powers that be have the ability to manipulate the news that
much? Bush especially didn't like Rather's reporting about
Dubya's Vietnam service. Don't the American people have the
right to know exactly all the details of what Dubya was doing dur-
ing the Vietnam era?"

Trash Talk
"I really get tired of these Northern people trashing Okee-
chobee especially the man from Michigan. We like it the way it
is, and we live here year-round."

No Plan
"Easter is coming up, the gas prices are rising and No Plan
Bush and his cronies are lining their pockets with gold black
gold that is. I call him No Plan Bush because regardless of what is
going on, he has No Plan not even a clue."
OUA Increase
"I feel so sorry that the OUA rates will.be hitting the camp-
grounds in the pocket book. How do they figure that an RV uses
80 percent less than a homeowner, when you do the same thing
in an RV that you do in your home even, if you use the camp
ground shower and laundry. I RV'd for 30 years and wasn't afraid
to use the campground's water."

By Lorna Jablonski
Okeechobee News
Last Saturday was a beautiful
day to be on the lake. Fifty-five
boats took advantage of the
weather to compete in the Chris-
itian Team Trail bass tourney.
Congratulations to George
Marshall, Jr. and George Mar-
shall, Sr. for their first place fin-
ish. They brought 19.08 lbs. of
bass to the scale to edge out sec-
ond-place finishers Craig Smith
and Bill Rose, who had 18.44 lbs.
The Marshalls also Won big fish
honors with an 8.07 lb. beauty.
Congratulations to a young
angler Robbie Hays and his part-
ner George Green for placing
third in the tournament with
15.0 lbs.
This will be a busy weekend
in Okeechobee with the Speck-
led Perch Festival in the park, the
Spring Cattlemen's Rodeo and
the Headturners3.com bass tour-
ney taking-place on Saturday and
Sunday at Okee-Tantie Marina.
Boats will leave at safe light and
return at 3 p.m. for weigh-ins.
According to the local weath-
er forecast, it should be another
.great weekend to get out on the
-lake and catch a few fish.
The specks are still biting in
.the Kissimmee River, at Indian
Prairie and at Harney Pond on
minnows, yellows jigs and
Andy's yellow arid white jigs.
They are also bringing them in
:from The Pass.
: Bass anglers are having luck at
-the Monkey Box once they get
,through the traffic jam there; in
;the river; in grassy areas; and,
anywhere the water is clear. The
largemouths are biting on shin-
ers, Flukes, spinnerbaits and soft,
plastic 3- and 4-inch crawdads.
Anglers have stated that the
majority of the bass they're catch-
ing will run between and 5 lbs.

Many newspaper owners have a hidden "agenda" whether
it is political, economic or to promote the publisher's cronies.

Not us. We're owned by a unique non-profit journalistic trust.

Our ONLY mission is to provide the information and under-
standing citizens need to make intelligent decisions about pub-
lic issues. In-doing so, we strive to report the news with hon-
esty, accuracy, fairness, objectivity, fearlessness and compas-
sion.

How are we doing?

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

WHAT DO I NEED

TO DO BEFORE MAKING A
PURCHASE OFFER?
'Even before starting to look at houses, find out what price house you can afford,.
says syndicated columnist Dian Hymer.
Roughly speaking, Hymer says'you can afford to buy a home equal in price to
three times your gross annual income.
More precisely, the price you can afford to pay for a home will depend on six
factors:

Lenders' also analyze your income in relation to your projected cost of home
ownership and outstanding debts to determine the size loan you can have.
Hymer says your housing expense-to-income ratio is determined by calculating
your projected monthly housing expense, which consists of the principal and
interest payment on your new home loan, property taxes and hazard insurance.
The sum of these costs is referred to as "PITI." Monthly homeowners' association
.. dues, if you're purchasing a condominium or townhouse, and private mortgage
insurance are added to the PITI.
Your housing expense-to-income ratio should fall in the 28 to 33 percent range,
although some lenders will go higher under certain circumstances.
N ^ Your total debt-to-income ratio should be in the 34 to 38 percent range. .

PUBLIC NOTICE
Okeechobee Utility Authority will temporarily change its method of chlori-
nating potable water to insure the future safety of our drinking water. The

water users may no:ice an unusual chlorine taste or odor in their tap wa-
ter after March 8, 2005.
These temporary conditions will not be harmful to your health; however,
if you are on kidney dialysis, you should consult your physician for spe-
cial instructions concerning this matter. If you have tropical fish or aquat-
ic animals, you should contact your local tropical fish store for advice
and take appropriate action to insure that you have properly treated the
water before adding it to your aquarium.
The hydrant flushing during this penod may cause the water to become
cloudy and discolored. This is a temporary condition and should not last
more than a few hours.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience you may experience during this
time. Please keep in mind that this is necessary to provide safe water for
the customers of Okeechobee Utility Authority.
