Reserved seating tickets are $10 each, and may be purchased at Okeechobee Chamber of Com- merce, on South Parrott Ave., between North and South Park Streets, "110 in the Shade" is probably the best musical you've never heard of," says OCT Coordinator/Director, Ron Hayes. "It had the bad luck to premier on Broadway in New York-during the same season as "Hello Dolly!" and "Funny Girl," and those shows got all of the attention. Even so, critics praised the show. The New York Daily News called it "as good a show as you can see." "Local musical theater expert Ian Nairnsey, who formerly hosted the radio program "Broadway Beat" on WQCS in Ft. Pierce, rec- ommended the show to the OCT a couple of years ago," Hayes says, "and we realized we'd discovered a rare gem." The show tells the story of a western town caught in the grips of a severe drought. Smooth-talking con-man, Bill Starbuck, appears, and promises to make it rain-for a price. Lizzie Curry, however, is able to see through his scheme immediately. She is an intelligent single woman with no self-confi- dence. Through this chance encounter with Starbuck, she is able to discover just what it is that she really considers most impor- tant in life. Her younger brother is also profoundly affected by his contact with the self-p'roclaimed rainmaker. The play has been compared to the Broadway classic "Okla- homa!", and it is similar in some ways to the "Music Man", although it -is no carbon copy either. The songs range from quietly beautiful to rousingly spirited, with a raise the roof gospel feel. "110 in the Shade" is based on the play "The Rainmaker", by N. Richard Nash. It was made into a non-musical hit movie which starred Kathryn Hepburn and Burt Lancaster. The songs come from the writ- ing team of Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, who also created "The Fantastiks." That show ran continu- ously in New York for more than 42 years, and became the longest run- ning production in the history of the American stage. The leading roles in the show are being played by two newcom- ers to OCT productions. Linda Maz- zola, a mother of twins, will be seen as Lizzie, a young woman who has been told for so long that she is "plain" that she has come to believe it. Bill Starbuck, the smooth-talk- ing con-man, is being portrayed by Daniel Hamby, who, aside from his mobile home business, also per- forms regularly as an impersonator of various country music entertain- ers. Returning to the OCT stage is Mike Zierdan, in the part of File, the local sheriff. Zierdan is a veteran of numerous productions, including leading singing roles in "Okla- homa!", "The Pajama Game", "Guys and Dolls" and "Damn Yan- kees." Additionally, he has been seen in non-musicals such as "The Miracle Worker", "Moon Over Buf- falo" and last season's "Over the River and Through the Woods." Also appearing as Lizzie's well- meaning father, is Okeechobee High School social studies teacher, Tom Murray, back from his per- formance in last year's "Blame it on the Movies." Paul Buxton, of Buxton's Funeral Home, follows roles in such productions as "Carousel", and "Dearly Depart- ed", as Lizzie's older brother, Noah. Kevin Lute, who starred in last sea- son's "Over the River and Through the Woods", will be seen as younger brother, Jim. Lute is a teacher at Osceola Middle School. Rounding out the large cast are: Jordan Bean, Jordan Canevari, Raye Deusinger, Brian Garza, Sonya Hamby, JoAnn.Kane, Aman- da Lamberti, Aric Majere, Alex Ming, Joanie Moffatt, Larry Paxton, Scotty Rae, Tina Welborn, Rahl Arrest Log The following individuals were arrested on felony or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges by the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office, the Okeechobee City Police Department, the Florida Highway Patrol, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or the Department of Corrections (DOC).

FWC: Seniors paying for licenses not Leaders at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) say they will not recom- mend requiring seniors to pay for fishing and hunting licenses. "Florida's seniors are among the FWC's most valued partners. Many of them support our fish and wildlife conservation efforts by donating their time and contribut- ing money by voluntarily purchas- .ing licenses," FWC Executive Director Ken Haddad said. "We appreciate their efforts and their continued support. We have no intention of placing an undue bur- den on seniors who can't afford to pay." In an effort to plan proactively for fish and wildlife conservation programs, FWC began developing a business plan to ensure the finan- cial stability of its programs for the next five years. Throughout this process, the agency has been exploring all possible solutions and has worked with Floridians to get an option their perspectives on how to deal with funding shortfalls. A large portion of FWC's budg- et comes from user fees, primarily licenses, permits and specialty license plate fees. One of the sug- gestions the FWC received was to consider repealing the senior exemption, because federal- matching dollars are, in part, tied to the number of paid license holders. "That federal funding is impor- tant, but we believe we can come up with a creative solution that will enable us to capture those dollars without having to charge seniors directly," Haddad said. Haddad added that the agency will continue working with resi- dents to ensure Florida's fish and wildlife conservation programs remain financially stable. The FWC does not plan to submit any exemption or fee increase propos- als during the 2006 legislative ses- sion.
