Citizens oppose zoning change

By Pete Gawda
Okeechobee News
Residents of Palm Village
Ranch and Seminole Cove man-
aged to delay for at least another
month the rezoning of a tract of
land on S.W. 16th Avenue south
of Palm Village Ranch.
It was standing room only
Thursday morning in the county
commission chambers as resi-
dents of Palm Village Ranch and
Seminole Cove came out in force
for a public hearing conducted

by Okeechobee County Board of
County Commissioners.
They came to voice their
opposition to a proposed change
in zoning from residential
mobile home to residential gen-
eral for a 57.8-acre tract of land
on the east side of S.W. 16th
Avenue, south of Palm Village
Ranch.
The developer, ACAS Okee-
chobee 1, LLC, applied for the
change to give some flexibility in
developing the property, accord-

ing to the developer's attorney
Tom Conely.
Mr. Conely said the biggest
part of the development would
be single family,\ but the develop-
er wanted some flexibility to
build multifamily units.
After hearing statements from
Mr. Conely and residents of the
two retirement communities,
the board tabled the petition
until next month and requested
staff to work with the developer
to come up with a developer's

agreement.
"We strongly oppose what is
basically giving the developer
carte blanche to build just about
anything he chooses," said Herb
Wells, president of the Palm Vil-
lage Ranch Homeowners Asso-
ciation.
The developer had earlier
produced a site plan with 135
single family units. However, he
is not bound by that plan if the
zoning change is granted.
Mr. Wells stated that with resi-

dential general zoning the num-
ber of family units could be as
high as 600 or 700.
He also mentioned the
increase in traffic.
"We are not against growth
or development as long as that
growth does not unjustly affect
the existing area residents," he
added.
At the very least, he suggest-
ed, the petition should be tabled

Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Brenda O'Connor introduced Sheriff Paul
May of the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office as guest speaker' at the general meet-
ing of the Chamber of Commerce.

May warns of sexual offenders

By D. Hamilton
Okeechobee News
Okeechobee County Sheriff
Paul May's message was simple:
"Watch your children."
Sheriff May spoke to a packed
house at the general meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce on
Wednesday. He told those in
attendance about the role of his
office in tracking sexual preda-
tors and offenders.
The sheriff told members that
currently there are over 30,000
sexual predators living in the
state of Florida, and 95 of those
offenders are living in Okee-
chobee County. Of those 95, 37
are under the supervision of the
Department of Corrections. One
of those offenders, he added, is a
woman.
Sheriff May detailed how the
community is notified when a
sexual predator moves into the
area, including those who move
here from out of state.
"Within 48 hours of a sexual
predator moving into the area,
they must register with the sher-
iff's department," he added.
"From there, we have an obliga-

iff Paul May in tracking the whereabouts of convicted sex-
ual predators and offenders when they register with the

tion to notify day care centers,
schools, churches and other
areas where children are pres-
ent."
He went on to explain that the
department utilizes members of
the Citizens on Patrol (C.O.P.)
and arms them with flyers on a
monthly basis.

Okeechobee News
Representatives from the
March of Dimes, Kelly Rizzo and
Cindy Hernandez were invited
guest speakers at the Kiwanis
Club weeklymeeting.
Cindy Hernandez, who is an
administrative assistant with the
organization, spoke to dub mem-
bers about the history of the
March of Dimes. She informed
club members that the national
volunteer help organization was
first founded in 1938 by President
Franklin Roosevelt who was
stricken with the polio virus at the
age of 39. The March of Dimes
was formed initially to find a cure
for the disease.
"After the discovery of the
polio vaccine in 1955, the March
of Dimeashas made great strides
towards eliminating the inci-

dence of many birth defects
which would have been fatal to
many babies just a short time
ago," said Ms. Hernandez. "Over
1,300 babies are born premature-
ly each year with 156 of those
being so small in weight that they
would fit into the palm of a nor-
mal-sized adult hand." She also
stated that the U.S. is in the top 25
percent in the world in infant
mortality rates.
To raise awareness to the
problem of prematurity in babies,
the March of Dimes has launched
a seven-year campaign with a
budget of $75 million to combat
the growing problem. The cam-
paign will focus on healthy
options for pregnant women
including health education, vita-
mins, healthy diets and proper
exercise.

recommends

foreclosure

By Audrey Blackwell
Okeechobee News
Two cases involving a mother -
and her daughters have gone
beyond the 90-day limit for com-
pliance for failure to clean up
two properties in the 800 block
of Northwest 12th Street and will
be sent to the Okeechobee City
Council for foreclosure.
A case against Joe and John-
ny Brown had a $10 per day fine
imposed from April 1,2005, until
June 29, 2005, and now totals
$ 1,100. A case against Mrs. John-
ny Brown's daughters, Gloria
and Mary Brown, had a $10 per
day fine beginning Dec. 415,
2004, which lasted 90 days until
March 15,2005.
Both properties are allegedly
overgrown with vegetation and

one property has debris present
from a training burn.
The mother had asked that
notices concerning the proper-
ties be sent to her. The board
agreed at their July 12 meeting to
send the mother a certified letter
to let her know the accrued
amount of fines, and to take fur-
ther action at the next board
meeting if nothing is done by
that time.
Chairperson. Mack Worley
reminded board members that it
has been their policy to immedi-
ately turn over to the city attor-
ney properties for foreclosure
that have not been cleaned up
when the 90-days has expired
"so they don't drag on."

until more specific information is
secured. He presented the board
with a stack of petitions signed by
Palm Village Ranch and Seminole
Cove residents.
Margaret Rucks Hamrick of
Seminole Cove protested the
increased traffic saying S.W. 15th
Avenue is already congested and
overcrowded.
Mary Holman of Seminole
Cove noted that the areas were
populated with senior citizens
and feared the proposed develop-
ment would change their
lifestyle.
"We welcome a mobile home
community, but not an apart-
ment complex," she said.
"This would hurt us drastical-
ly," said Palm Village Ranch resi-
dent Madlen Kane.
"We are very much opposed
to being rezoned," said John
Smalley of the Seminole Cove.
"We don't think S.W. 16th Avenue
should be handling this type of
traffic."
Mr. Smalley also mentioned
that the Okeechobee Utility
Authority sewage treatment plant
is reaching capacity, in reference

Kelly Rizzo, community director
for the March of Dimes, spoke to
Kiwanis Club members about
fundraising activities to benefit
healthier babies.
She said "Bikers for Babies" is
an event scheduled for Oct. 30 that
will invite hundreds of motorcycle
riders to register for the ride from
the St. Lucie County Fair Grounds
to the downtown Ft. Pierce area.
The ride will benefit the local area
March of Dimes with a $25 registra-
tion fee from each biker and any
additional riders to pay $9.
Once the bike ride is complete,
there will be a block party with free
food and entertainment to com-
plete the event.
Ms. Rizzo went on to tell Kiwa-
nians that the WalkAmerica pro-

to a possible agreement between
OUA and developers to finance a
treatment plant.
"We feel Okeechobee is not
ready for this," he said.
He, too, handed the commis-
sioners stack of petitions from
Seminole Cove residents.
He refuted Mr. Conely's traffic
figures because he said they were
3 years old and were based on a
24-hour average. He said no one
travels S.W. 16th Avenue after
midnight.
Several other residents strong-
ly voiced their opinions against
the proposed rezoning.
Mr. Conely produced traffic
figures from October 2002 to sup-
port his contention that traffic
would not be impacted by the
development.
County attorney John Cassels
told commissioners there were
two questions before them: is
multi-family housing appropriate
for the areas, and do you want to
continue or encourage mobile
homes in the area?
"The legalities are met," Mr.
Conley said.
He said his traffic figures came
from the Department of Trans-
portation and no one else has
produced any other figures to
refute them.

meetings in September for the

also go to benefit healthier babies.
She also noted that .88 cents of
every dollar donated will go to ben-
efit March of Dimes programs and
research.

School resource officers are
used within the school district to
make school administrators and
teachers aware of the presence of
known offenders. The sheriff noted
that 'reverse 9-1-1' is used to notify
residents of a community that a
sexual predator has registered to
live in their area.
He explained that reverse 9-1-1
is a system that will 'ring' all of the
phone numbers in a given area and
the information will either be given
to whomever answers, or the infor-
mation will be left on voice mail or
answering device.
Another way that the where-
abouts of sexual predators is made
known to the public is through the
printing of photos and information
about the offender in newspapers.
He said this method heightens
public awareness.
Sheriff May told Chamber mem-
bers that registered sexual offend-
ers and predators under supervi-
sion are checked on quarterly by
deputies in order to keep "tabs" on
their whereabouts. He also stated
that since January there have been
two "sweeps" by the sheriff's office
of offenders'/predators' registered
addresses.
Michelle Bell, who works with
tracking sex offenders at the sher-
iff's office, has spoken with new
school.bus drivers in the district to
help them learn what they should
look for in the way of suspicious
activitywhile on their routes.
"Sexual offenders and preda-
tors will position themselves where
they can be around children," she
said.
"One of the biggest comments
made after parents receive notifica-
tion through schools or from the
sheriff's department regarding a
known sex offender living in their
area is, 'now we have to watch our
children.'" said Connie Kirk, who
also works with the sheriff's office
in tracking offenders. "It is parents'
responsibility to watch their chil-
dren. There are 67 sex offenders in
the county who are not under any
supervision and they have no
restrictions regarding any functions
that theywish to attend.
"They can be anywhere, not
just in your neighborhood. Parents
must always be mindful of where
their child is and with whom," she

added.
Sheriff May then told the crowd
that they also keep tabs on carnival
employees when they come to
Okeechobee County.
"Every time the sheriff's depart-
ment is informed of a carnival
coming to the area, the sheriff's
office will obtain information
about those who are working with
the carnival," he said. "Of those
workers, we will find at least one
with a sex offender background
among them."
With that information, the sher-
iff urged parents to be watchful of
leaving their children to attend
such functions without supervi-
sion.
Sheriff May went on to discuss
the Jessica Lunsford Act that will
become law beginning Sept. 1. The
Jessica Lunsford Act was named
for 9-year old Jessica Lunsford who
was kidnapped, sexually assaulted
and murdered by John Couey a
registered sex offender that was liv-
ing in his sister's home near Jessi-
ca's home in Homosassa Springs.
The new law provides for any
sex offender who commits a sexu-
al assault on a child under the age
of 12 to serve a mandatory 25 years
in prison with a lifetime classifica-
tion as a sexual offender.
In reply to a question from a
Chamber member regarding
repeat offenders, Sheriff May stat-
ed: "There's one thing with the Jes-
sica Lunsford Act becoming law,
once they have committed the
crime one time, we are sure that
they will not repeat it for at the very
least, 25 years."
He went on to say with the new
law in place, registered offenders
who wish to have the sex offender
classification removed from their
name will have to wait much
longer before they go to court to
petition for its removal. Offenders
who are classified for sex crimes
after Sept. 1 will be "stuck" with
their classification for 30 years. Cur-
rently, they must wait 20 years
before petitioning to have the clas-
sification removed by the court.
Sheriff May stated that he is in
favor of a proposal of a uniform sex
offender web site from U.S. Repre-
sentative Mark Foley. The change in
the web sites would give detailed
information about the offender,
what the specific offense was and
the age of the victim.
"I believe that the public should
know what an offender has been
convicted of when they are living

ricanes and Mr. and Mrs. Hanner
are currently living in a FEMA trail-
er. The trailer will remain for an
additional 90 days.
There is additional junk around
the property, said Mr. Sterling, and
they have had since June to get it
cleaned up. While Mr. Hanner has
been throwing some things out, it
is still not in compliance, said Mr.
Sterling:
A neighbor, Ed Curren, said he
did not want to officially testify to
the board but wanted to share his
concerns about the property.
"To see it day after day it is a
disgrace," he said.
Mr. Worley thanked him for

within a community where there
are children present," he said.
Chamber of Commerce Execu-
tive Director Brenda O'Connor
mentioned that Sheriff May has
agreed to speak in an upcoming
public forum on sexual
offender/predator awareness to be
held at the Golden Corral Restau-
rant. The date of the forum has not
yet been determined and will be
publicized by the Chamber of
Commerce.

Naval Ordnance Plant in Macon,
Ga. This was especially important
to her, as her brother Dan was a
POW She met her husband, Calvin
'Smokey' King Stephens, in
Bradenton, where they lived until
moving to Okeechobee in 1950. He
preceded her in death in 1955.
While her time with him was short,
she said these were the best years
of her life. Their wish was that their
children have opportunities they

never had, and she was very proud
that each of their children graduat-
ed from college. She worked for a
time at the Okeechobee High
School lunchroom, and she spoke
fondly of her co-workers there. She
was proud that she was able to
earn a retirement at her advanced
age. She left Okeechobee after her
home burned in March 1991, initial-
ly residing in Prescott, Ariz., and
then settling in Norcross, Ga., with
her youngest son Ron. She never
stopped missing Okeechobee and
all of her friends, and still;consid-
ered it "home".
'She was preceded in death by:
sisters, Bernice (DeLoach) Eden-
field, and Aria Mae (DeLoach)
Copeland; and -brother, Dan
DeLoach.
Survivors include: sons, Ronald
R. Stephens of Norcross, Ga.;
Calvin K. (Kay) Stephens Jr.; grand-
daughters, Kayla and Hanna of Fer-
nandina Beach; daughter, Betty L.
(Rick Ryan) Stephens of Prescott,
Ariz.; and sister, Alene Van Duersen
of Lyons, Ga.
A private service will be held at a
later date. The family suggests that
memorials may be made to the
charity of one's choice.

4 OPINION

Speak Out

Have an opinion or a question about a public issue? Post it anytime
at the Okeechobee issues blog at http://newsblog.info/0904. It is a
hometown forum so visit the page as often as you would like and
share your comments (but no personal attacks or profanities, please).
You can also make a comment by calling our Speak Out 24-hour
opinion line at (863) 467-2033, fax (863) 763-5901 or sending e-mail
to okeenews@newszap.com. You can also mail submissions to
Okeechobee News, P.O. Box 639, Okeechobee, Fla. 34973. Com-
ments will be published in the newspaper as space permits.

NO SURPRISE I see in the paper that the OUA executive director has
resigned. Considering all the problems there, I don't see how this was
such a shock. I never did understand why the county let our water and
sewer system get in such a mess. They never should have gone into
this with the city. The county should have set up their own system
instead of taking on the city's problems. But that is a done deal, so now
we need a professional director.

UNMERITED ATTACKS What ever happened to being loyal to the
city that you are elected to represent and protect? The attack on the city
police chief at the last city council meeting by councilmember Lydia
Jean Williams was unmerited and inexcusable. Where does your loy-
alty lie, obviously not in the best interest of the City of Okeechobee.

TIME FOR BED How do make children that are 3 and 6 years old go
to bed when it is already 10:30 p.m. They refuse to listen, what can I do
to make them go to sleep?

LOSING MONEY Teachers, please take a good look at the proposed
teacher salary schedule that you will be voting on next Monday, Aug.
15. The only teachers who stand to gain are the ones at the very top
and those at or close to the bottom. For example, if you are starting
your 13th year, you will make a few hundred dollars more the next four
years than the old schedule provides. However, at that point you will
lose thousands of dollars with the new schedule before you reach the
top rung. As for the teachers at the top, no one will be making $52,600.
That is just there to make it look better than it is. It is not guaranteed
next year. The worst part of the schedule is that people beginning their
18th, 19th, or 20th year start to lose thousands of dollars immediately
over the old schedule. There are not enough people in this category to
vote down the contract. This is part of the plan to get the schedule
passed in Monday's vote.

Coach Branham: 'the swagger is coming back'

By Eric Kopp
Okeechobee News
Chris Branham is excited and
he's really not trying very hard to
hide it.
His excitement stems from an
attitude he has-
n't seen on the
Okeechobee
High School
football field in f'
quite some
time.
"You can
see that Okee-
chobee swag-
ger and we're Chris
wanting to hit Branham
some people,"
said Branham. "We're not quite
there yet, but you can see the
swagger coming back on the
practice field. They have a little
different pride than they've had in
the past."
Branham, who is beginning
his first season as the head grid
coach at OHS, said the current-
day Brahmans are starting to
remind him of the days when he
donned the Purple and Gold.
And even though he tried to
contain himself, his excitement
over this year's squad came
through loud and clear when he
spoke.
"Our defense reminds me of
when Don Bower was here and
defense was our strong point," he

WHO: OHS Brahmans
WHAT: Intrasquad football scrim-
mage
WHEN: 7 p.m. tonight
WHERE: Brahmans Stadium

said. "From what I've seen so far,
this is one of the better defenses
we've had since 1990. We have a
lot of speed all over the place and
we hit almost everything. I'm not
saying they're going to tear up the
world, but they have a little bit of
fight in them."
And Brahman football fans
will get a chance to see that fight
at an intrasquad scrimmage at
Brahmans Stadium tonight begin-
ning at 7 p.m. There is no admis-
sion charge, and Brahman fans
will be able to pick out their gold
and reserved seats for the upcom-
ing season.
Branham said the controlled
scrimmage will last until 9 p.m.
and will give him and his staff an
idea of just where the team is
before next week's outing against
Moore Haven.
"Basically, we'll be looking to
see what we need to work on," he
said. "We'll be looking for a quar-
terback, and to see what plays
we've got and what we need to
work on." -
The Brahmans head mentor
said he wants his offense to work
on the running game because he
plans on using the ground attack

to control the game, and to keep
the opponents' offense on the
bench.
"The way we became more
successful last year was concen-
trating on running the ball," he
said. "We became a better team
and we set the tempo of the
game."
Right now, Branham said the
Brahmans are very strong at the
running back position. He said he
has five ball carriers that could
probably start, or at least be the
number two guy, at 80 percent of
the high schools in Florida.
Right now, Branham said
Kenny Spencer is the number one
tailback. But, he's getting strong
competition from Cody Storey,
LeShon Henderson, Timmy
Williams and Marc Macias. He
said Macias is also likely to see
some action as a receiver.
At the signal caller's slot the
position Branham is probably
most familiar with since that's
where he played during his years
at OHS three players are vying
for the starting job. Travis Conrad,
Virgil Barrett and Chris Cyr have
all been a starting signal caller for
the Brahmans at one time or
another in their OHS careers.
As for the offensive front, Bran-
ham has three starters returning
from last year's squad -- Rex
Irwin, James Madrigal and Ricky
Barnes. Another returned is Corey
York, who was the sixth man in

the rotation last year and can play
every position on the line.
Also competing for playing
time on the OL will be Rafe Irwin
and Josh Britnell.
As a unit, Branham said the
offensive front will average
around 225 pounds.
When the subject of the
defense comes up, so does Bran-
ham's level of excitement.
"They all have good speed,
play aggressive, get to the ball, hit
everything and play strong as a
unit they're just playing with so
much passion," he said. "So far in
practice they have been extreme-
ly disciplined."
Branham said his defense will
use the 4-3 set and their overall
game plan is pretty simple be
quick and be aggressive.
"We tell them 'just do your job
and do it as fast as you can,'" he
said.
Branham said defensive line-
man Rafe Irwin has had some
"shining moments" in practice
and that lineman Tommy Camp-
bell has had a very strong presea-

son.
At linebackers, Branham
pointed to the play of Josh Rauler-
son, Williams and Cyr.
"All but Josh are 4.7 or better in
the 40," said Branham, "but Josh
probably has the best instincts of
them all."
Branham went on to pay
Raulerson a very big compliment,
when he compared him to a for-
mer Brahman linebacking stand:-
out.
"Josh reminds me of a big Ben
Wine he just hits everything,"
said Branham.
In the defensive backfield
Branham said Rashad Kelly, Hen-
derson and Eric Lodge have been
splitting time at the cornerback
positions, while Storey and Casey
Hoover are likely to be the starting
free safety and strong safety,
respectively.
But the long and short of it is,
Branham is doing something that
many of his predecessors could-
n't he spends time every day
telling his team what it means to
be a Brahman.

He tells them of such former
OHS standouts as Harold Kidd
and Rufus McGill, and how other
squads really didn't look forward
to facing the Brahmans because
they knew they were going to get
hit hard and hit often.
"Every single day after practice
we talk about aggressiveness,"
said Branham.
But his post-practice talks
don't end there.
"I remember being 10 years
old and watching Harold and
Rufus and how much passion
they played with," he said. "I tell
our players to be the type of play-
er that when young guys look at
you they say they want to be just
like you."'
It's not going to be easy for the
Brahmans this season and Bran-
ham isn't sure what his team's
record will be when the season
ends, but there is one thing that is
certain the pride of playing
football for Okeechobee High
School is back.
And so is that Okeechobee
swagger.

Some newspapers seem to take pleasure in the bad news. Not us.
We do print "bad" news. (It IS newsworthy when things go
wrong, and citizens need to know about problems.)
Still, we give most of our attention to good news the kind you
clip and tape to your refrigerator door, (This isn't difficult. The
vast majority of what happens in our community IS good.)
How are we doing?
Let us know by mailing feedback@newszap.com or calling your
editor.
