OUA pact with King's Bay OK

By Pete Gawda
Okeechobee News
In a meeting that lasted all of
Tuesday morning, the board of
directors of the Okeechobee
Utility Authority (OUA)
approved a contract to purchase
equipment needed for the
King's Bay sewer system retrofit.
The board also reviewed pro-
posed changes to their rules and
regulations, discussed boil
water notices and approved the

annual audit.
The board approved contracts
with Alpha General and South-
east Pump to purchase pumps,
valves and other necessary
equipment to complete the
King's Bay project. Bids were
received from both companies
and the board voted to purchase
individual items from the bidder
with the lowest price.
Upon receipt of the necessary
items, at least two employees
will be assigned to work at least

four hours a day on the King's
Bay project.
OUA Executive Director L.C.
Fortner pledged that if more
workers became available they
would be sent to he King's Bay
project.
The board passed a new set of
rules and regulations.
Under the new rules, if water
service has been terminated for
more than three years another
capitol connection fee must be
paid to restart service. Previous

rules had required a capitol con-
nection fee to be paid if water
service was terminated for one
year.
The new changes allow prop-
erty owners who have an excep-
tional account history to open
other accounts in their name
without paying additional
deposits.
The changes also require a
developer's agreement to
reserve water and wastewater
capacity.

Turning to a topic that created
a lot of concern lately, board
members looked at a draft of
guidelines for issuance of boil
water notices.
Board member Eddie Trent
noted that if the boil water notice
covers a large area, door-to-door
notification is not possible.
Board member Steve Nelson
suggested using loudspeakers to
notify residents.

More arrests

are made in

child sex case

By Eric Kopp
Okeechobee News
Three area men were arrest-
ed Tuesday on charges of hav-
ing sex with a child and were
booked into the Okeechobee
County Jail in lieu of $100,000
bond each.
The arrests stem from the
arrest of a 39-year-old Okee-
chobee woman that allegedly
forced her young daughter into
prostitution. The girl, who was
11 years old when her mother
first forced her to have sex with
men, is now three months
pregnant.
The name of the mother is
being withheld to protect the

two girls.
The mother, arrested shortly
after midnight on April 12,
reportedly charged each man
$20 to have sex with the girl.
The woman also allegedly
sold her oldest daughter, then
13, to a 23-year-old man for an
automobile when the girl
refused to become a prostitute.
The man, however, never gave
the woman the car.
That man was charged with
procuring the sexual perform-
ance of a child and was
booked into the county jail
under a bond of $100,000.
The car, said Detective K.J.

Okeechobee News
' In a lengthy meeting Tuesday
morning, the board of directors
of the Okeechobee Utility
Authority (OUA) tackled two
items that had been discussed
several times previously injec-
tion wells and employee's pay.
Joe May, a geologist with the
Florida Department of Environ-
mental Protection (DEP) who
monitors injection wells,
addressed the board. With the
expansion of the wastewater

treatment plant, the utility will
need to dispose of an increased
amount of treated effluent. They
are considering deep well injec-
tion as an option.
Another option is disposing
of treated effluent into a created
wetland. This would require
periodic dumping into Taylor
Creek. Possible legislation
requiring further reduction of
phosphorus levels in Taylor
Creek might make this option
impractical.

%o am t Mr. May described how injec-
tion wells work. While they are
common in other parts of the state,
unfortunately, there are not many
injection wells in this area of the
state for comparison. He said that
every utility system is unique.
The discussion got rather tech-
nical, but it appears that even
though injection wells are expen-
sive to construct their capacity is
unlimited.
Mr. May said that injection wells
are built with more diligence than
potable wells with a lot of cement
and several casing. He added that
S* the wells are monitored and every
five years they under go rigorous
testing.
S Even though injection wells are
more. expensive than other means
of treated affluence disposal, an
______ injection well has unlimited capaci-
-' f ty. Mr. May compared an injection
well to a sponge.
SBoard member Carl Leonard
-- remarked that the process sounds
expensive.
Mr. May replied that it costs $3 to
$4 million per well.
John Hayford, OUA's operations
manager, noted that treatment
standards are reduced for an injec-
tion well as compared to surface
discharge of treated effluent. There-
fore, he said, there can a trade off.
He added that where surface dis-
posal has limited capacity, an injec-
tion well has unlimited capacity.
"Time is ticking, we have to
make a decision," said L. C. Fortner,
-- executive director of OUA.

amount not to exceed $29,320 for

the employee's pay structure, but
no action was taken until Tuesday
morning. After two votes, the salary
scale was changed.
The board was presented with a
survey of salary ranges at nine area
utilities including Sebring, Moore
Haven, Fort Pierce, Martin County,
Stuart, Avon Park, Belle Glade,
Clewiston and Palm Beach.
The board considered a pro-
posed minimum and maximum
salary for each position based on
the averages of the other utilities'
salary ranges.
Board member Elder Sumner
noted that with the housing boom
in the area, entry-level personnel
would have trouble buying a house
under the current salary system.
Mr. Fortner conceded that OUA
has lost employees to other utilities
because of salary.
Board member Steve Nelson
noted that if the utility lost enough
licensed plant operators, they
would have to shut down.
"Be fair on salaries," he advocat-
ed. "If they're doing their job they
need to be paid properly."
He also urged provision be
made for longevity.
Mr. Sumner asked about how
promotions were handled.
Mr. Hayford replied that at the
plant, state mandated tests deter-
mine promotions and on the main-
tenance side, there is informal test-
ing.
It was suggested that a consult-
ant be hired to study the salary situ-
ation.
Mr. Sumner remarked that he
would rather give the money to the
employees than to a consultant.
Board member Frank Irby advo-
cated applying a percentage to
each minimum salary to determine
the maximum salary for that posi-
tion.
Wastewater treatment plant
operator Jamie Gamiotea stated
that a pay increase would help

start precedent here. We will abide
by the contract."
Ms. Falvo replied that the board
had a right to grant a hearing out of
fairness.
"We are not talking about right-
ness or morality. We are talking
about a contract," was) Mr. Con-
ley's response.
The board voted unanimously
in favor of the superintendent rec-
ommendation.
Union president Candy Walker
later stated that she thought a
supervisor should notify an
employee in writing of any defi-
ciencies and come up with a time-
line for corrections before a person
is terminated.
"We don't; don't do it lightly.
We need good employees," was
Assistant Superintendent of
Schools Lee Dixon's statement. He
noted that the district has a short-
age of bus drivers.
He said the decision was made
by competent personnel.
The superintendent announced
that there is interest in preserving
the old Basinger School and that

because he is having a hard time
finding employees.
Mr. Irby noted that some OUA
minimum salaries are higher than
the nine utility average minimums.
The vote on a pay scale provid-
ing minimum and maximum
salaries for each position based on
the nine utility averages was defeat-
ed by a 3-2 vote.
The interlocal agreement estab-
lishing OUA calls for a super majori-
ty of four votes for an issue to pass.
Mr. Irby and Melanie Anderson
voted against the measure.
Mr. Leonard, Mr. Sumner and
Mr. Nelson voted in favor of the
measure.
A second proposal passed. It
provided for the current minimum
salaries for each position to remain
in effect. The maximum salary for
each position would be increased
by a certain percentage.
Mr. Nelson noted that OUA's
executive-director had received no
raise in four years.
Mr. Leonard noted that a raise
for Mr. Fortner was brought up in
2003 but it was defeated by 3 to 2
vote.
Mr. Sumner noted that under
the present salary schedule the
engineer makes more than the
executive director.
Finance Offider Marita Rice stat-
ed that the executive director's
salary was not included in the nine
utility study.
Mr. Leonard suggested that the
staff provide comparative informa-
tion on executive director's salaries
and make it an agenda item.
In the meantime, the board
voted to give Mr. Fortner a one year,

The board also discussed
using the services of a company
that would deliver recorded mes-
sages by telephone. However,
that service is expensive and Mr.
Fortner stated, that some people
might think that it is telemarketer
calling.
Mr. Fortner stated that he had
contacted several other commu-
nities and they have no guideline
for notification of boil water pro-
cedures: He stated that emer-

counts of sexual performance by
a child. She is currently in the
county jail. Her bond was set at
$400,000.
Both girls have been turned
over to the Department of Chil-
dren and Families (DCF).
Detective Ammons said DCF
will get the girls back into school.
However, they will not return to
the schools at which they were
originally enrolled.
In his original report, Detective
Ammons stated the youngest girl
said the reason her mother was
prostituting her was for food. She
also told him that sometimes after
having sex the men would allow
her and her mother to take a
shower.
The detective's report goes on
to say the mother and her
youngest daughter were living out
of their car.

Doesn't Make Sense
"I heard a Cajun singing a real good, happy song the other day,
but it didn't make much sense it made about as much sense as
Bush's Social Security plan. Well, maybe someday someone will
build him a library and donate a couple of books. I hope he reads
one of the books, that way he can claim that he has read half the
books in his library."

Airboat Mufflers
"In regard to the airboat noise that someone has in the paper. If
you can't make an airplane with mufflers on it quiet up in the air,
how are you going to keep an airboat quiet on the ground? It is
not the engine that is making so much noise, it is the prop. And
anything with a prop is going to be loud. How about taking all the
bass boats off the lake? They make noise and pollute the water."

Airboat Noise
"This is about airboats. They run on the lake, they are sup-
posed to be noisy. Maybe instead of trying to quiet the boats or
moving them, why don't they just move themselves? They have
every right to be out there as long as they want and the part of the
fun of having an airboat is the privilege of riding whenever you
want."

Pedophiles
"I have a small problem bringing this picture in to focus. When
these pedophiles are released out of jail, there is nothing to keep
track of them except for them to sign up where ever they live,
Martha Stuart only lied to the court and s~he has to wear an ankle
bracelet. I think we need to switch the two around."

Less Noise
** "This is in regard to the person who called in about the airboat
noise. The airboat landing was there long before they moved in
from the north. So perhaps they may want to think about moving
to Indian Prairie where it is less noisy."

Sexual Predators
"I just read where they got two officers for over 90 sexual pred-
ators in Okeechobee County. I have a beautiful granddaughter
and now I have to worry about this. That is ridiculous. They check
them once a year to see if they are still living in the same place.
These people need to be put on one big island like Alcatraz, or
keep them in prison forever or castrate them."

Goodwill
I have been here, in Okeechobee, for nearly a year-and-a-half. I
have observed the following that public employees have a lot to
learn. A lot of public employees, those who actually are supposed
to serve the public, seem to think that the general public owes
them respect -which, should be the other way around. It seems
that what is right, is wrong in the thinking of some employees. I
served for over 30 years for the public and know that if they are
treated with respect, it will be returned many times over. This is
not only for the City of Okeechobee employees, but for the ones
that are in a business that survives in this community. Okee-
chobee is growing and will not stop growing. It is supposed to be
that way anything good grows. Serve the public with goodwill
and it will be returned many times over. This is a nice and good
place to live and raise our children. But, don't forget what our par-
ents taught us do unto others and so on."

Study: VA computer

overhaul poised to fail

ST. PETERSBURG A $3.5
billion computer overhaul at vet-
erans hospitals across the coun-
try is poised to fail unless the
Department of Veterans Affairs
makes drastic changes, warns a
closely guarded government
study obtained by the St. Peters-
burg Times.
The multiyear project is
designed to modernize almost
all phases of hospital computing
at facilities run by the Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs, the
newspaper reported in its edi-
tions Wednesday.
But a February report by
Carnegie Mellon University,
which the VA hired to evaluate
the computer conversion, says
the ambitious undertaking -
known as HealtheVet, or HeV -
is "not viable" and an "unaccept-
ably high risk."
If the project fails, the VA
could not deliver timely medical
care to 5 million veterans, anoth-
er internal VA document says.
The result would be "gridlock,"
the report said.
"The VA must rethink
HealtheVet," says the Carnegie
Mellon report. "Current plans
are not realistic given the com-
plexity and magnitude of HeV
and the VA's ability" to carry out
those plans.
U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-
Indian Shores, said after review-
ing the report that the House
Appropriations Committee will
launch a formal investigation.
Young, a member of the Mili-
tary Quality of Life and Veterans
Affairs Subcommittee and one of
the most powerful members in
Congress, said that funding will
now receive "extra scrutiny."
Last year, a much smaller

computer overhaul known as
the Core Financial and Logistics
System, or CoreFLS, seriously
disrupted operations at Bay
Pines VA Medical Center in St.
Petersburg.
The.VA killed CoreFLS after
another Carnegie study said it
did not work. The project had
cost taxpayers about $300 mil-
lion.
In a conference call with VA
staff, information technology
manager Nancy Wilck said the
VA would address some of
Carnegie's concerns, but not all.
Following everything
Carnegie Mellon suggested
would "choke" the VA and the
computer conversion would
never get done, Wilck said.
In a letter Tuesday to VA Sec-
retary James Nicholson, U.S.
Sen. Bill Nelson, the Florida
Democrat who serves on the
Armed Services Committee, said
that in light of the CoreFLS deba-
cle, he wanted answers about
the recent Carnegie findings.
"At this time of record-high
budget deficits, it makes sense
that agencies of the federal gov-
ernment be extra vigilant with
taxpayers' money," Nelson
wrote. "Not addressing potential
problems with a national health-
data repository now could lead
to another fiscal disaster."
The HeV study was conduct-
ed from November 2004 through
January by consultants with
Carnegie's SoftWare Engineer-
ing Institute, which interviewed
more than 100 VA employees.
The report agreed that the VA
needs to replace its current com-
puter system, but cited many
technical and managerial prob-
lems with the VA's plans.

FORT MYERS Robert J.
Underbrink, Vice President of
King Ranch, recently announced
that Charlie. Lucas has been
named President of Consolidated
Citrus Limited Partnership, one of
Florida's largest citrus growers.
Consolidated Citrus is owned
in partnership by King Ranch and
operates 50,000 acres of oranges,
grapefruit, and specialty fruit in
eight counties throughout south-
ern Florida. Mr. Lucas joined the
Company on April 4, and reports
to Mr. Underbrink.
"Charlie brings more than 25
years of experience in the citrus
industry to Consolidated," said
Mr. Underbrink. "He will be a
great addition to our team, bring-

ing unique insight and perspec-
tive to our citrus operations and
building on our long-standing tra-
dition of farming and ranching."
Lucas previously was the Vice
President of Sales and Fruit Pro-
curement at Southern Gardens
Citrus for over ten years with
responsibilities for marketing
orange juice and by-product
sales. Accomplishments include,
building the Southern Gardens
brand name and positive reputa-
tion that the Company enjoys
today.
"Charlie is a great colleague,
mentor and friend to everyone at
Southern Gardens," said Rod Lid-
dle, President of Southern Gar-
dens. "We wish him success in

his future endeavors and look for-
ward to our continued associa-
tion."
His new responsibilities at
Consolidated Citrus will involve
strategic planning, sales and mar-
keting efforts and the overall
direction of the Company.
Consolidated Citrus is the
largest citrus grower in the United
States, producing more than 19
million boxes of fruit last year.
Although the Company grows
fruit for both the fresh fruit and
juice markets, the vast majority of
its product, about 97 percent, is
sold to processors for the produc-
tion of orange juice.
