See BRIEF, A4 County considers Melbourne's request for 'leap-frog' annexation Is this the wave of the future or a dangerous loophole? By David Kearns dkearns@hometownnewsol.com VIERA - Could Satellite Beach annex areas west of Interstate 95? Could Cocoa leap its borders and grab part of Merritt Island? Brevard County Commis- sioners have either entered a brave new world, or cracked the lid on Pandora's box. It depends on your point of view. In a 5-0 vote Dec. 2, com- missioners agreed to enter into negotiations with the � municipalities of Mel- bourne, West Melbourne, and Palm Bay, along with the owners of the Platt ranch, to consider an inter- local service , boundary agreement. The agreement may wholly or partially permit the annexation of the Platt family's 3,966-acre property into the city of Melbourne, located more than a mile and a half away. It would "leap-frog" over the city ofWest Melbourne. There is an exploit in the current law on annexation, amended in 2006, that makes it legal to at least ask the county if such moves would be acceptable and begin the negotiations, said county attorney Scott Knox. There is no limit on miles separating such target acquisitions, only the cur- rent uses, Mr. Knox said. "What's to prevent the city of Orlando from com- ing over here?" asked West Melbourne resident Mark Vorce in protest. The county attorney did- n't have an immediate answer for him, nor did the com- m " --* u" ' missioners. / The proposed service agreement area is about already 4,000 acres, made up of the entered into Douglas and Carlyle Platt agreements with the city of ranch and other smaller West Melbourne, said properties, which may have See LEAP-FROG, A2 Governor, dignitaries gather to welcome Embraer By David Kearns dkearns@hometownnewsol.com MELBOURNE - It came down to only one locale: it had to be Melbourne, said Fred Curado President and CEO of Embraer. "Nice infrastructure, golf courses, hotels, good real estate, access to skilled labor. It was a very straight- forward decision." Mr. Curado made the comments ;after Embraer broke ground on its new 150,000-square foot facility at Melbourne International Airport. It is the company's first- ever United States based assembly plant. A customer center will also be in the works alongside it. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist joined members of the Mel- bourne City Council, the Brevard County Commis- sion, the Space Coast Eco- nomic Development Com-- mission and Melbourne International Airport Advi- sory Board, in welcoming the Brazilian aircraft maker. Embraer, for Empressa Brasileir bills itself as the world's largest manufactur- er of commercial jets up to 120 seats. The company, headquar- tered in Sao Jose dos Cam- pos, Brazil, has sales and manufacturing centers in China, France, Portugal, Singapore and the United States. The move to Melbourne will bring as many as 200 high-paying jobs over the. course of the next few years, Mr. Curado said. There are no immediate plans to open any' other facilities around the world at the moment,, said Mr. Curado. "We will take a breath and make sure this works prop- erly. That will be our focus," he said. In his remarks to the crowd he addressed the world's .current economic troubles, but reaffirmed the company's $50 million commitment over the next 30 years to Brevard County and the city of Melbourne. He noted that the compa- ny has a strong backlog of orders well into 2013. Gov. Crist thanked the 20 million taxpayers of the state of Florida who have chipped in $8 million in incentives to bring the company to the state. "This is a great, great day for Brevard County, for Florida," said, Gov. Crist. "God bless Embraer." "This is the biggest event we have seen here outside of the space program.

Dispute threatens public By David Kearns dkearns@hometownnewsol.com WEST MELBOURNE- City officials from Melbourne don't think West Melbourne officials should handle their own water permitting issues. In insisting on doing so, the Harbor City's western namesake is essentially making assumptions regarding the entire 55,000- customer system, without understanding it complete- ly, Melbourne officials say. This presents a potential in the future for health and safety issues said Mel- bourne deputy city manag- er Howard Rails and Mel- bourne city attorney Paul Gougelman. The men spoke at the Dec. 2, West Melbourne City Council meeting. The Harbor City provides water to eight cities south of the Pineda Causeway up to Palm Bay city limit-. Mr. Rails said.

Knowledge is a terrible thing ,- to waste... www.hometownnewsol.comn Leap-frog From page Al Christy Fisher, planning director for that city. . Members of the West Mel- bourne City Council, and several city staffers, were on hand to block the annexa- tion, or at least have a place at the discussion table. They settled for the latter. "This presents a huge problem to our logistically- anxious neighbor to the east," said West Melbourne City Councilman Mike Hazlett. "How will govern- -ment service be provided to a 4,000-acre island com- pletely removed from the city?" Councilwoman Stephany Eley said, "By allowing this you're opening a can of worms for the entire state." That can would include land holders inducing bid- ding wars - the prizes being concessions on taxes or zoning- before they demure to be annexed, said Scott Glass, West Melbourne's consultant attorney on annexation. Mr. Glass said increased conflict between communi- ties and more litigation are part of this new landscape. The move comes as a result of language in Florida Statute 171, that allows parcels which are not con- nected to any city boundary to be ushered into nearby cities. Melbourne's attempted leap over the intervening city is unprecedented, per- haps in the history of the state. But Melbourne vice- mayor John Thomas said on VITA SEED $1 CHEAPER THAN ANY FEED STORE NO "RAIN FOREST" WOOD BIRD TOYS Dec. 1 that the Platt proper- ty owners came to the city of Melbourne,, seeking annexa- tion after reviewing the availability of services such as water and sewer. "They obviously looked at and evaluated both cities. They chose Melbourne. We would be thrilled to have them and thrilled for the future of south Brevard," said Mr. Thomas. "We've been put in this position by the Heritage Parkway," Doug Platt told the commissioners. When asked by commis- sioners why they chose Mel- bourne over West Mel- bourne Mr. Platt cited utilities, water and sewer. "West Melbourne doesn't have those," he said. Doug's father, Carlyle Platt, said in an interview he has been opposed to the parkway all along, but now he sees there is no way around it. For generations the land in question has been a fami- ly farm raising cattle, culti- vating sod and other crops. Now a road will come through alleviating traffic, making the commute between cities quicker, and ensuring a faster evacuation in the cases of wildfires and hurricanes. But with this convenience comes the end of a way of life. Among Carlyle Platt's per- sonal concerns are poach- ing from passing motorists, and changes to drainage patterns, which impact ongoing agriculture. "It needs to be further west. It will cut our property in half," he said. "We don't want to do it but we're going to have to." Bowing to the threat of "(The Platts) obviously looked at and evaluat- ed both cities. They chose Melbourne. We would be thrilled to have them and thrilled for the future of south Brevard.' John Thomas Melbourne vice mayor eminent domain and the needs of the county, in October the Platts approached the county with a conceptual design for what they would like to see done with their property. Those plans include three full intersections and an overpass in the northwest section of the property to allow for continued ranch operations. Brevard County land acquisition supervisor, Holly Pardi said on Dec. 1, the design is by no means binding as it has not been approved. "If you have too many intersections it (slows down) the parkway," she said, adding that commutes between Palm Bay, Mel- bourne andWest Melbourne are already lengthy. Through their attorney Gary Frese, the Platts also informed the county they would be seeking annexa- tion into "a neighboring" city. They had been working closely with West Mel- bourne, but switched to the city of Melbourne. . At the meeting, Mr. Frese said the Harbor City can demonstrate the greatest need for more residential housing, a point which will sway state regulators when they agree to allow a change of zoning of the land from .j On 321-327-5922 , U 3260 W.

Melbourne city manager Jack Shluckebier said in no way did the Harbor City offer the Platts any conces- sions in the -way of increased densities, or an increased number of inter- sections to the parkway within their property. "If anything there are more (restrictions) with Melbourne," Mr. Schlucke- bier said. Commissioners had considered excluding West Melbourne from the nego- tiation table, or limiting their input to "non-voting" participation as per the Platts' request. Melbourne city attorney Paul Gougelman said denying West Melbourne a vote would prevent West Melbourne from having a veto power that could per- manently snarl plans for the parkway and annexa- tion. "If you are a participant, you really don't have any juice," said District 1 Com- missioner Robin Spencer. District 4 Commissioner Mary Bolin and District 2 Commissioner Chuck Nel- son agreed. "This will end up in court," said Mr.. Nelson, adding that it would be best to at least include all parties in on the planning and get everything on the table. West Melbourne City Councilman Andrew Jones said in no way would West Melbourne negotiate in bad faith. "Our concern is what's best for all parties," he said after the vote.

Yes, that's Florida Tech, growing faster than the forest. Florida Tech is filling out their 58-acre footprint with nearly $75 million in architecture and develop- ment now under way. The 50-year-old college of science and engineer- ing started as Brevard Engineering College with an endowment of 37 cents, given as a joke to young engineer and founder Jerome P. Keuper, at Pelican Bar in Indian Harbour Beach. Now the funds come in the millions from local corporations, families and successful alumni, all striving to broaden the reach and mission of what had been a small engi- neering college devoted to space. University president Mr. Anthony J. Catanese said the school has undergone two previous transforma- tions from its earliest days. The first came when the current site, located near Country Club Road, Uni- versity Boulevard and Babcock Street, was acquired from the old University of Melbourne in the 1960s. The second took place in the late 1990s, when the school underwent a, $48 million construction evo- lution with matching funds from the EW. Olin Foundation.

According to Karen Rhine, FIT's assistant director of communica- tions, specific plans for the near term include a new aquatic center adjacent to the Charles and Ruth Clemente Center for Ath- letics, as well as a dining hall and adjoining four- story parking facility to be located between the din- ing hall and Babcock Street to the east. Moving to the south of those, the new Scott Cen- ter for Autism Treatment is under construction this month. This will upgrade the current building on the north side of the campus on Country Club Road. The Ruth Funk Center for Textiles, well into con- struction, will be located adjacent to the Evans Library. And perhaps most in line with the information age is the new Harris Center for Science and Engineering, under construction now, by way of a $5 million endowment from the Har- ris Foundation. The school will house the Harris Institute of Assured Information, said Dr. Richard Ford of the FIT computer science depart- ment. Mr. Ford received his doctorate in quantum physics at Oxford Univer- sity, England. ,He said among other things, the institute will blend the studies of com- puters and biology. It's not as strange as it sounds. "Human beings are incredibly resilient. If the computer catches a cold.it simply stops working. Bio- logical systems are not always optimum but they are always resilient," he said. "We're looking for ways to make the comput-. er fail more gracefully." Biologically-inspired tactical secure infrastruc- ture (BITSI) will be a big part of the new institute, he said. For more informa- tion on this, see www.bitsi.org. The idea would be to uti- lize the institute in a way that will blend the words of industry, with Harris leading the way, and aca- demia. It will have a mix of students from graduate to post-graduate levels. Tal- ent will be the deciding factor, he said. The challenges we face in the future relating to information are as daunt- ing as they are fascinating. "Ten years ago, neither you nor I would have been 'able to predict where we would be today in terms of information," he said. Ivy Chong, director of the school for psychology's master's program in behavioral analysis. said $2.6 million was given to the school from the Edward Scott family .for the construction of ihe 18,000-square foot build- ing, which will house the new center. Mr. Scott is the founder Brief From page Al For information, call the bus information line at (321) 633-1878 or visit www. ridescat.com. BCC graduation scheduled Dec. 18 More than 950 Brevard Community College stu- dents have applied for grad- uation to receive diplomas and certificates during the fall 2008 commencement ceremonies Dec. 18 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Students from the Cocoa and Titusville campuses and the Health Sciences programs will graduate dur- ing the first of two com- of the Center for Global Development in Washing- ton, D.C., co-founder of BEA Systems Inc., and a member of the FIT board of trustees. An additional $2.4 mil- lion in federal funds were made available from the Health Resource Services Administration, to bring the total to $5 million for the Scott Center. Ms. Chong said the cen- ter, presently located on, Country Club Road, cur- rently services the com- munity's needs for out- reach on Autism and Asperger's disorders. These are related disor- ders affecting thought, speech, and socialization skills of the young for unknown reasons and no known cure, said Dr. Chong. The key is early diagno- sis and continued treat- ment, she said. It has been a 40-year dream of FIT's athletic director Bill Jurgens to develop a competitive, intercollegiate swim team at the school. The aquatics center, to break ground "in the near future," realizes that long hoped for vision, said Mr. Jurgens.. The concept of the facility is a blend of modern in the style of a Meditefranean spa adjacent to the dining hall. The hall can service the three new housing units completed this year housing 400 students near the Stot- tier Soccer Field. "I believe it will have a tremendous impact to pro- vide a swimming program to students and prospective student athletes," Mr. Jur- gens said. "It will allow us to be a focal point for swimming in the area." The pool will be 50 meters long and 25 meters wide and come complete with a diving well. "Financing is being done by- the university," Mr. Jur- gens said. "The recreation facili- Lies, aquatics. center, din- ing rooms and residence halls, classrooms, will cre- ate a special place for our twenty-first century vision of an academic utopia,"Mr. Catanese said.

Statements of fact will be checked for accuracy. President earns his salary This is to the person whose rant was about the salary of the president and Congress. We all have opinions, thanks to God and our Democratic way of life, which is fast disappearing before our eyes and turning into socialism. I will give you this, though. If the Democratic-controlled Congress were paid on a merit system, they would be fired, due to their current 13 percent approval rating. The Democ- rats fail to hold their politicians accountable for their inept- ness. I think your real problem is you are a (President George W.) Bush-hater. Obviously, you are a Democrat. Your party talks big, but thinks small. Think about what.you said about the president's salary - $400,000 a year. Are you kidding? With his headaches, respon- sibilities and, for all practical purposes, the president is in captivity for (four) years. Think about these ballplayers pouting over their contracts and they're worried about not getting $140 million spread over six years. Get real. I know this is like comparing apples to oranges, but think about what you are saying. The president's airplane being compared to a resort? Are you kidding, it is a whole lot more than luxury travel. We want the planet's most powerful person to be safe, comfortable and well-rested when he gets to one of his worldwide travels. Not to speak of the capabilities of a fly- ing command post. One of the problems you Democrats have is you worry about the ants and the elephants are running over you - (not to be confused with the symbol of the Republican party.) Judge not This is in response to the "Opposed to Amendment 2." The person goes on to talk about the Rev. Scott Elliott and goes on to talk about Jesus' teachings. Well, Jesus' teachings said "Judge not lest ye be judged by the same measure." He also said "Look not at the mote in thy brother's eye, without exam- ining the beam in thy own." Change name This is a reply to "Opposed to Amendment 2," where the person had talked about gay marriage. The issue of gay marriage has been a vast topic for several years now. Aere's some food for thought. Yes, marriage, and the way we have defined it 'in years past, has been between two people, traditionally, a man and a woman. However, the times have changed, it seems. I am not for or against it. What changes when two people get married? Their last name. Gay and lesbian couples want to be able to have rights in their domestic partner relationship. Here's the thing. For $250, you can have your last name changed. A couple can decide which last name they'd like to have. For those who want to be in a committed relationship, you don't need a marriage license. For men and women who want to be in relationships, or for (homosexual) relationships, they can go down to the courthouse and get (a name) changed. The only questions asked when you go to the courthouse are: Are you changing your last name to avoid taxes? Are you changing your last name to avoid creditors? You don't have to be married. That's what's important between you. If you have a survivorship letter, living will or a will, (you can stipulate your wishes on paper.) As far as legal issues go, consult with an attorney. Remember JFK Today is Nov. 22, a very big day in our history. However, no publication has made a note of the death of (former Presi- dent) John E Kennedy. I'm shocked. I'm a Democrat. He and his family gave so much to this country and, still, there was no memorial to this man. I am very unhappy about that.

There was no reason that I see that the editor needed to explain the Wikipedia definition of the United States laws regarding abor- tion unless the writer's information is untrue or not accurate, then they should not print it at all. That should be the case for any letter. I, too, believe in abortion and keeping it legal; howev- er, I do not believe one needs to be an atheist to believe in abor- tion. That is your own business and totally irrelevant to this topic. To those who don't believe in it, simply don't have one. But do not take this legal right away from those who need it. Editor's note: The FirstAmendment of the United States Con- Sstitution guarantees one the freedom ofspeech. While the Home- town News will not publish libelous or slanderous content, Rants & Raves allow readers an opportunity to voice their opinions. Hometown News will, however, add detailed information, when necessary, in an editor's note to clarify information written in the Rant. 'Friends' are inconsiderate I want to rant about people who are inconsiderate - specifi- cally, those who are supposed to be "friends." Why do "friends" put you in a situation that they, themselves, are incapable of handling? They prey on your kind-hearted- ness to take care of a problem they want to get rid of. They make promises to entice you into the situation, then abandon you with it. When you ask them to help you with the problem, they remind you of your offer to help. That is the key word here - help. I don't mind "helping" my friend with her problem, yet I don't appreciate being saddled with the entire problem myself, especially when the problem is not mine to begin with. Well, it wasn't my problem until I offered to "help." Now it is my problem. During this time of the year, when we are reminded to give more of ourselves and to help others, let us be cautious not to take advantage of that generous spirit in others. Ask for help, yes, but do not expect others to do the unpleasant tasks for you. Increase nuclear plants Let's improve the unemployment situation. We can do this by building 45 new nuclear electric power plants. This will get us off the carbon kick. This was suggested by Sen. John McCain in his campaign (for U.S. presidency.) Watch for shady 'freebies' I am ranting about people who are coming to my neighbor- hood and knocking on my door. They are offering me (every- thing from) a box of soap and a can of Pepsi (to) a can of Ajax. They say it is free because they are promoting a new store, which is on Babcock Street, and I live all the way in northwest Palm Bay. Last week, my hands were dirty and I asked them to put the item on a bench at my front door. (When I returned to look for it) there were a couple of novelty items missing from my front door. My neighbor warned me about these people, saying they were looking to see what you have in your house and not to let them in. Next time they come to my house, I am going to call the police. I believe these people are casing my house to see what they can steal. If they come to your house, throw them off your property. They don't understand what "no soliciting" and "no trespass- ing" means. Let's get to Mars America and NASA need a new challenge, just like the Apollo program. We have the capability to do it first. Lets put men on Mars before 2015, before China and before Russia. The method could be just like Apollo. Let us never forget "That's one small step for a man..." I worked at the space center for 30 years, and I was never so proud of an achievement in my entire career, as when man stepped on the moon. Show responsibility in owning guns I heard on the news last night how a 2-year-old was shot by her brother, who found his father's gun. He was playingwith it and it shot, hitting his sister's hand. The 2-year-old is doing fine, but sometimes, that is not always the case. Twenty-five years ago this month, my 7-year-old niece went to hide under the bed and found a gun. She was playing with it and it (fired) hitting her 9-year-old sister in the head. (The child) died, and after 25 years, the memory of that sad event has never left my heart. I think it is time parents should be responsible for their weapons. They should put their weapons in a place where children cannot get to them. Too many children are killed because of this and we have to stop this. I hope and pray that this never happens to your chil- dren. Even if you don't have children, you should still put your weapons in a place that only you know where they are and out of reach of any hands that might be able to get to them. Thank you for your attention. Campaign money helped workers nationwide I would like to answer the rant about the "Election costs an obscenity." So the amount of money spent on the elections could have paid for medical technicians, teachers and- law enforcement officers. Instead, it paid for camera operators, hotel maids, drivers, pilots, office managers, etc., in every area of the country. The $5.3 billion was spread over the entire coun- try and helped the economy of the country over the 2-year peri- od of the races. I am not sure you got the message. The $5.3 billion was as you said, "spent" so that the workers of the U.SA were paid, not the people (who) were running for office. Walkers gave thanks in different way An enthusiastic group of Melbourne Beach residents partici- pated in and initiated the first ever Get Up, Gather and Groove Before You Give Thanks Fun Walk on Thanksgiving morning. They walked a three-mile loop around town and collected monetary and food donations for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. A crisp morning greeted the families and out-of-town visitors and suggestions were made for creating a new tradition in our little town. Thank you to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office South Precinct No. 5 and the Melbourne Beach police for helping us stay safe! Thank you also to 99.3 WGRV Smooth Jazz and 98.5 The Beach and the Things to Do section of Florida Today for their support. Looking forward to nextyear. Shame on contractors What's with contractors lately? It's shameful how these con- tractors are looking only for the "big fish." I called a tile company out for an estimate on new bathroom floor tile. Business is slow, so it's a good time to get a deal, or so I thought. He quoted almost $7,000 for the job. I tiled my living , room for less. So I called another "discount" tile company. Nine thousand dollars? Forget it. Next, when the cold snap came, my heat pump broke. The con- tractor came that morning, as promised. But instead of fixing my heat pump, this repairman turned pushy salesman tried to sucker me. He handed me an estimate to replace all the ducts in my house. He tried, to explain how new ducts would fix my heat pump, but I wasn't biting since it worked fine for two years. Almost $8,000 for ducts I don't need and he had the nerve to charge me $85 just for coming out. Itold him to get the "H-E-double hockey sticks" out I called another "honest" contractor. This one said he could reset the freeze switch but it would trip out again because my unit was clogged with mold. Oh, my dawgs, what mold? I never smelled mold, but it's scary stuff. He gave me an estimate for almost $3,000 to replace my indoor unit, which, by the way, I put in for half that a couple years ago. There is no excuse for trying to rip people off. Who can I call to report this? Maybe in desperate times these contractors are trying to make it up on one big job. I guess they have to make the payments on their riverfront mansions and boats. What ever happened to an honest day's work for an honest day's pay? Letter A word of caution As we embark again on a search to replace our current city manager, I again urge the council to proceed very carefully and consider the issues that currently confront the city. In no way would I support any move to expedite Mr. (David) Reynal's departure before his contract expires. The sensible way is to continue to utilize Mr. Reynal's expertise to continue to lead the city and possibly resolve some of our major problems. He is well aware of these issues and an early departure could hamper or delay any outcomes. It would be best, as Mr. Baenziger sug- gested, (to start) the search process in the spring and in time for an orderly transition. Also, in the current or any financial situation, it would be fool- hardy to consider or act in haste and expend taxpayers' money needlessly. Thank you for your consideration, and best wishes. John C.

' f (W e Friday, December 12, 2008 www.HometownNewsOL.com Melbourne * A7 West Melboure prepares to hire a lobbyist By David Kearns dkearns@hometownnewsol.com WEST MELBOURNE - Exxon Mobile needs one. Big tobacco, big media and big telecom all use them. So, does West Melbourne actually need a lobbyist? Council members felt so strongly that the answer is yes they were prepared to vote on it Dec. 2, with at least three coun- cil members voicing approval. But without the vote of council member John D'Ami- co, absent during the meeting, the council was split on the vote and decided to table the matter until the Dec. 16 meet- ing. During a special meeting of the city council on Nov. 25 council members accepted an unsolicited proposal from Eligere Strategies LLC of Mel- bourne to provide lobbying services to the city for an annu- al fee of $30,000 per'year, plus "pre-apprqved expenses." Eligere's consultant is the for- mer District 31 State Rep. Mitch Needelman (R-Mel- bourne). Mr. Needelman was term limited after his time in the state legislature. This election cycle, he ran unsuccessfully for the office of Clerk of the Courts against incumbent Scott Ellis. Embraer From page Al ment Commission and the Brevard County Commis- sion engaged in a controver- sial move to designate $1.8 million in local tax funds as additional incentives to the airplane maker. The county commission had no idea who they were bringing in before voting to allocate the funds. Now that they are officially here, the company ,officials seem just as surprised and thrilled as the community that welcomes them. "If you had asked us 30 years ago if would we be building (airplanes) in Florida City staff recommended approval of a contract with Eligere Strategies, with the salary and expenses to be split from the general fund and the city's water and sewer funds. But on Dec.2, just prior to their meeting, the council received a $27,000 per year proposal for lobbying services from Dixie Sansom of Cocoa. Mrs. Sansom, also a former state legislator, and who has worked with West Melbourne city council on previous issues, is married to the city of Mel- bourne's lobbyist, Jerry H. San- som, as Mayor Hal Rose point- ed out "Jerry and I talk, but we don't talk about work issues if we have conflicts with work issues," Ms. Sansom said. - One of her listed references includes Ray Sansom, speaker of the House of Representa- tives. Ray Sansom is also Jerry H. Sansom's cousin. Her other references include Gov. Charlie Crist and Rep. Ralph Poppell, (R-Titusville) who is newly-elected as chair- man of the Brevard Legislative Delegation. But City Councilman Pat Bentley questioned the man- ner in which the city was going about things. "I don't understand our process here. A week ago, a I would not have guessed it," Mr. Curado said. The company started in 1969 with the help of the * Brazilian government which maintains less than 1 percent - of the stock. Fifty-one percent of the company' stock is flowed through the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EJR). They manufacture com- mercial jets, custom execu- tive jets for corporate inter- ests, as well as fighter jets for defense. The Melbourne facility will see its first test prototypes developed in 2009, with the first unit ready for shipping in the last quarter of 2010. - The company will be con- centrating heavily on the Phe- firm put in their price and (Ms. Sansom) had access to see their price," Mr. Bentley said. "I don't know how we can oper- ate like this as a group. I think if we are going to do this, we should have gone out for bids." Councilman Mike Hazlett voiced early support for Ms. Sansom.. "I don't think the governor throws his name around too loosely. I am impressed with your resume," Mr. Hazlett said to Ms. Sansom. However, Mayor Rose and Councilman Andy Jones voiced opposition to Ms. San- som, owing to the close ties Ms. Sansom has with Melbourne through her husband.' "I have an issue with that," said Mayor Rose. But, Councilwoman Stephany Eley voiced opposi- tion to Eligere Strategies for the reason that Mr. Needelman is, involved with the company inside a two-year prohibition for former legislators lobbying the members of the House and Senate. Matt Dupree, spokesman for Eligere said Mr. Needelman is able to gain access to the gover- nor, his cabinet officials and any state agency on behalf of the city if his firm is chosen. State law, FS 112.313(9), does not prohibit Mr. Needelman working in the capacity as con- sultant if he does not lobby members of the state House or Senate directly. "Rep. Needleman's expertise is paramount when it comes to lobbying the agencies and the governor's office," Mr. Dupree said, adding that four other employees from the company can lobby the legislature. Nothing gets done without the governor's final vote. And Mr. Needelman's sway with state agencies can also help the city, he said. In fact, had Mr. Needelman been working for West Mel- bourne, he could have spoken directly to Brevard County Commissioners on Dec. 2 about laws on annexation that Mr. Needelman helped draft. "I would have had him speak on legislative intent," Mr. Dupree said, adding that this might have nixed leap-frog annexation right then and there with a vote of the county commission. Resident Harry Stapor urged council members to make the right choice. "I am one of the people you're going to be spending their .money, and I want to know you've at least thought about it for more than 30 min- utes." The council is set to discuss it again on Dec. 16. "If you had asked us 30 years ago if we would be building (airplanes) in Florida, I would hot have guessed it." Paul Curado CEO of Embraer nom 100, an eight-occupant jet which is "days away" from Federal Aviation certification, officials say. "This is one of those game- changing moments in Bre- vard County. No doubt about it," said Palm Bay City Coun- cilman Milo Zonka,.who was also on hand for the event.

Otherwise, a business may unnecessarily face exposures that can have enormous future effects in the eyent of a loss. One such change involves moving a business from an owned to a leased facility. Making such a move should trigger discussion of fire and liability protection. While fire-legal- liability coverage, as it is called, is included in general liability policies, it usually has limits. A business owner needs to be sure that the limit on his or her fire-legal-liability coverage is sufficiently high to cover the total value of the property being leased. A well-balanced insurance plan goes beyond the basics of fire, theft, auto, .life, home, and health insurance. If you own a business, you owe it to yourself and your staff to. check into the proper plan for the right coverage. We urge you to call us today and let us assist you in evaluating your current policies. Don't risk everything you own. We're located at 3760 W. Eau Gallie Blvd., Ste. 104, where we encourage you to protect yourself, your family, and all of your-assets with the proper insurance. To find out more, or to schedule an appointment, call us at 321.255.0986. We've been serving and satisfying customers since 1991. NOTE: Business interruption insurance helps keep a business running even if the owner has been forced to shut down temporarily after suffering a loss.

We in the industry want to scream sometimes, because it takes time and money to get information out to the general public about an event that sells out quickly. We try to let our clients and the public know that it is imperative to act early if it is something they might be interested in. So many have been disappointed because it either sold out or there are no flights that are close to being reasonable in price, or a gazillion other reasons that it cannot happen for them. Sad but true. First, I would like to remind you that there are still some fabulous holiday cruises that are reasonably priced. The holidays are the big event of the year so I felt it necessary to mention this. There are three- to 12-night cruises sailing over the holiday and NewYears or. both. Check them out, as it is - SS TRAVEL PATTY TOPPA sometime less expensive to cruise and be waited on than to stay home, cook, clean and entertain. It is also a great gift to one who might be doing all the cooking and cleaning. Do not leave out the incredible European Christ- mas market river cruises that visit the many small towns along the rivers in Europe. These cruises generally end in the fall, but are brought back for the Christmas markets and are always a bargain at this time of year. Super Bowl cruises: In the past, the cruise lines did not have the set up for live action of the Super Bowl, therefore, those interested would not go because they might miss it. But with all of the satellite capabilities on board the ships, they are able to show it. Just think, for all of you gents out there, you will be keeping your non-football interested wife happy, while you are watching the game with other like-minded souls. Although I have to say, on my last cruise, there was a big football game on in one of the lounges and I thought there were just as many ladies yelling and screaming as there were men. One such sailing is the Monarch of the Seas, three nights to the Bahamas from Jan. 30-Feb. 2 from Port Canaveral. With a $75 on- board credit (per cabin) you can buy the drinks to go with it. Ladies, this might be something to put under the tree. Kentucky Derby, always a popular event. Did you know that a ticket to get into the Derby last year was more than $300 per person (entry only, no actual seat for the event)? That was if you could actually get a ticket. It did not include parking or trans- portation, food, drink or hotel (if you could get one within an hours drive). Tauck has been doing the Derby events for years and not only do it very well, but participants feel more special than the owners and trainers of the Derby horses. The five-dayVIP tour gives you such an insight to the horse world, but on the day of the Run for the Roses the Tauck buses get a police escort into Churchill Downs, VIP seating at the first turn, exclusive air-conditioned hospitality marquee with a buffet with regional fare, and an all-day open bar. My clients who participat- ed last year felt as though they were trulyVIPs and felt it was well worth the price. Others who were close by their seats were quite envious, according to one of my clients. They felt so very special and will remember it always. Oberammagau 2010.1 I have written about this in detail in the past, but feel it is impor- tant that I mention this again, since it only happens once every 10 years. For those not familiar with this event, this is a real-life performance of the Passion of the Christ per- formed by more, than 1,500 Oberammagau villagers. In 2009 the men in the village begin to grow out their hair and beards for the 2010 event. This dramatic event has been on going since the 1600s and it now is so popular, it is very difficult to get tickets. Most of the European tour operators offer Oberamma- gau 2010 as part of a package on their existing tours. What is difficult at this time is that since it is more than a year away, the airfare cannot be booked, which makes it very difficult to sell. But it is coming to that time. Those who make the booking now will secure the tour and their tickets to the event. If you are at all interested in witnessing this spiritual masterpiece you should start the process now, before it is too late.

Melbourne International Airport operations director Rick Cloutier, 46, at one time worked in the mainte- nance department sweep- ing up. Chief of airport police Michael Brewer, 58, was a foot patrolman at the Mel- bourne facility in 1993; one of just six on staff at the time. Both recently earned advanced degrees in con- junction with their respec- tive positions, and both still love their jobs immensely. Key to that process has been finding a home at Mel- bourne International Air- port. For his part, Chief Brewer came down from Chicago, after a carer in the U.S. Air Force. "It was too cold, so I want- ed someplace warm," he said. A former law enforcement officer in the service, he started working security up at Cape Canaveral but the drive and other factors had him soon changing his mind.. "When I started here I said 'O.K., this is it. This is for me.'" People treated people with respect and care, he said. "You have to enjoy what you're doing. Here it's like family. relaxed," he said. He has three sonsha and six grandchil- dren in the area. H i s department Brewer has doubled in size along the way. The issues Chief Brewer deals with have been com- plicated by Sept. 11, 2001, and security concerns. Along with those, comes the burden of heavy respon- sibility. He regularly works with investigators from the FBI to the advance security details for presidential can- didates, and Air Force One. 'A lot has changed in the area. One thing for sure is the growth," he said. "Every- thing is picking up and so there's a big demand tor security." The airport gave him the advanced training to go with his position. He earned a degree in professional studies from Barry Universi- ty and a master's in public administration from Web- ster University. Also bred in colder climes, Mr. Cloutier grew up around SNiagara Falls. When he left home at 18 he had one requisite desti- nation in mind; "some- where, where there's a beach." The year was 1983. Two years later, he took a job pushing a broom for the air- port. He moved up to the m a i n t e - nance elec- " trician's position, then into I the position of airport terminal supervisor. Cloutier From there he advanced to facilities manager, operations man- ager and then became director of operations. Along the way he earned a bachelor's in public administration from ,the University of Central Flori- da in 1995 and just this year, gained his master's in business administration, while attending UCF at night. "I wanted to earn a mas- ter's so that I could increase my ability to help the com- munity in a positive and productive manner," Mr. Cloutier said. "That's encouraged here in all departments," he said. Mr. Cloutier, a resident of Palm Bay, has three chil- dren attending Brevard Public Schools. Both men were recog- nized by the Melbourne Airport Authority's board on-Oct. 15. "We are proud of Richard and Mike. They are con- stantly striving to improve themselves and our organi- zation," said Richard Ennis,' the airport's executive director. Search could cost big bucks By Tammy Roberts Roberts@hometownnewsol.com The. cost to find, a replacement for Brevard Public Schools Superin- tendent Richard DiPatri could be as much as $60,000 for the school dis- trict depending on the search plan it chooses. In a special workshop Nov. 13, the Brevard Coun- ty School Board discussed hiring one of three nation- al search firms to help fill the position. Fearing it would show a preference for state candi- dates, the board expressed hesitation to utilize the Florida School Boards Association to lead the search, which could cost the district $30,000 .Jess, than the national firms.' The FSBA is a nonprofit organization that repre- sents all school board members in Florida. Its members work with other educational and comnru- nity agencies to improve educational standards throughout the state. Each year, the Brevard County School Board pays the association dues to -receive discounts for school board members and administration to attend various meetings, as well as pertinent infor- mation about local and federal legislation, said Pam Escobar, administra- tive assistant for Brevard Public Schools District Communications. "Brevard County is a leader, and as a leader, we are bound by our inner selves to ensure we have the best possible candi- date for this district," said school board member Robert Jordan. "It would be foolish to think we can have the wherewithal that we can make the decision for ourselves." While the board has no set deadline to find a replacement, Mr. DiPatri's. contract will expire June 30. "The 'position will be filled once the school board has found the best candidate," Ms. Escobar said. If a new superintendent is not found within this time, duties will be carried out by district administra- tion and led by Deputy Superin- tendent Berry. body will just have to p u I1,1 together until the right per- son is Dipatri son is found," she said. After nearly four decades in education and nine years as superintend- ent, Mr. DiPatri, 61, announced his retirement in September, citing per- sonal reasons. "As you might imagine, I have ambivalent feelings about this decision," Mr. DiPatri wrote in an e-mail to his colleagues. "But after 40 years of serving students in two states, I believe it is time to step aside." Mr. DiPatri was plucked from his position as state district superintendent of schools in Jersey City, N.J., following the work of exec- utive search company Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, which the school board hired in 1998. The firm, which is also being considered for the search to find his replace- ment, received $50,000 to find Mr. DiPatri. During the workshop, the board indicated that it would ask the search firms to include local candidates in the search. As of now, Brenda Black- burn, associate superin- tendent for curriculum and instruction, is the only local candidate included in the district's succession plan. Area I Superinten- dent Thomas McIntyre, who died in August, was also in the running. "We want to make sure that we open it up for internal people, as well," Mr. Jordan said. "We are the ones who said we wanted a succession plan." Mr. DiPatri's replace- ment will be responsible for more than 75,000 stu- dents, about 10,000 school board employees, 85 schools, eight charter schools ,and 17 special centers within the 1,300 square miles of Brevard County. According. to their Web sites, each of the three search firms being considered have worked with dozens of other major school districts, simi- lar to Brevard, in the past. The school board plans to interview the firms during another special workshop Dec. 8. The firms are: * Proact: Since 2003, this firm found leaders for Mil- waukee, St. -Paul, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Dis- trict of Columbia school dis- tricts, as well as. state leaders in Florida, Colorado and Illi- nois. Cost is $36,000. * Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates: In addition to finding Mr. DiPatri, this firm conducted searches in San Diego, Stockton, . Calif., Spokane, Wash., and San Francisco. Cost is $44,000. * Ray and Associates: This firm was responsible for finding leaders in Fayet- teville, N.C., Memphis and Newport News, Va., school districts. In Florida, they recently completed searches in Indian River, Duval and Collier counties. Cost is $42,475. Advertising and travel expenses for all three firms could cost an additional $10,000 to $20,000. - ii~D %~~ J.i," J4'C2LE~~s1C Academy of Cosmetology NOW OPEN IN MVIELB OURNE 2909 West New Haven Ave 728-1104 *(Home Depot Plaza) Walk-Ins Welcome * OPEN SATURDAYS Shampoo Facial 1-Hour Highlites & Set $25OO 200 " r L - 11. 1 I.,.. . ..

That's when city council members and other officials from both cities met at the Lagoon House to discuss working together on seeking federal money early next year for the project. Brevard County's Metro- politan Planning Organiza- tion - which will change its name Jan. 1 to the Space Coast Transportation Plan- ning Organization - has had the parkway on its priority list since 1993. But it has yet to find all of the funding to make the road a reality. Property acquisition is also at issue, and may spark emi- nent domain battles. The north/south, four- lane parkway would run west of Interstate 95 in 'We don't have (all of) the money to build this, but we are going through the land-use studies and buying land ... to keep the integrity of the parkway." Bob Kamm Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization south Brevard County, with new interchanges at Ellis Road and just north of Micco Road. Officials said that, among other benefits, the parkway would serve as an additional emergency evacuation route, provide new access to Melbourne International Airport and other, major employers, and relieve traf- fic on 1-95. Factoring in property acquisitions for the park- way's rights-of-way, the overall project could cost well more than $200 million, with the two proposed interchanges costing more thin $30 million each. Melbourne deputy city manager Howard Rails said Melbourne's lobbyist thinks the city could receive $50 million in project money from Congress. "We don't have (all of) the money to build this," Space Coast Transportation Plan- ning Organization director Bob Kamm said, "but we are an River County to State Road 60 in Vero Beach, and north through Viera all the way to Titusville - allowing drivers to avoid 1-95 and U.S. 1. "That's the big vision," Mr. Kamm said. "It's going to take a long way to get there, but that's what we're working toward." Palm Bay deputy mayor Milo Zonka said Palm Bay and Melbourne are not competing against each other for federal funding for the project. "We're competing against the rest of the world," which also seeks money from Congress for various needs, he said. Dispute From page Al below 20 pounds per square inch, state law requires boil water alert to those areas, said Mr. Rall . If a fire o curs in West Mel- bourne, ne essitating imme- diate dema d, pressure could drop enou. for a boil water alert in Saellite Beach, Mr. Rails said. 'A large demand to one of your meters can cause pres- sure in part of our system to drop. If it drops too low, that's where we get into (trouble)." "We've been looking at this in our concurrency reviews," Mr. Rails said. "You're not including us in .NEW USED Discount Furniture Outlet A CENTRAL FLORIDA FURNITURE L & AUCTION the loop of analysis," said Mr. Rails. Concurrency reviews are like permits for future water use. Developers agree to pay a fee to reserve supply in the future. The cities of Melbourne and West Melbourne are locked in a legal dispute over water: one of the issues is precisely how to handle these reviews, who collects the money and when. Melbourne provides the water to the city limits of its western namesake. Different than other cities, West Melbourne takes the water from there and runs it through its own transition lines using 12 master meters, provided by the Harbor City. The city of West Melbourne is drafting language for its comprehensive plan to han- dle concurrency issues inter- nally. Council was set to vote on changes to the plan, said West Melbourne city planner Christi Fisher. The arrangement has grown organically since Mel- bourne began contracting with West Melbourne to be their only water provider, Mr. Gougelman explained. Because every so often smaller meters were given to the city for diverse projects, now there is increased uncer- tainty in the system, he said. "They know about every single meter in the system," said Matt Soyka, West Mel- bourne's city engineer. Mr. Soyka said new lan- guage in the comprehensive plan amendments takes all of this into consideration, including West Melbourne reserving future use capacity in bulk, thereby . making everything that Mr. Rails and Mr. Gougelman are asserting, a non-issue. Mr. Soyka also stated that West Melbourne has never had a problem the like of which Mr. Ralls described. In fact, it has been West Melbourne that has had to issue boil water alerts due to "FREE ROOF ANALYSIS" Up to 20 yr. Warranty Leaks? Repair? Re-Roof? low pressure from breaking pipes, Mr. Soyka said. Nevertheless, Mr. Gougel- man and Mr. Rails suggested changes to the document which will leave concurrency decisions in Melbourne's hands. This is an unacceptable measure of control on devel- opment, limiting growth, West Melbourne officials say. Embittered by perceived delays from concurrency per- mits, some council members questioned whether the over- tures by Mr. Rails and Mr. Gougelman were not mere stall tactics from Melbourne designed to frustrate West Melbourne. Steve Dworkin, project co- developer for the Watershed, on 281 acres west of Interstate 95, said he and his partners have spent more than $200,000 on studies and per- mitting in order to work directly with the city of Mel- bourne to provide water to their site and nothing has come from it yet. West Melbourne Council- woman Stephany Eley told Mr. Rails and Mr. Gougelman; "the perception is that you, stall our projects on purpose." West Melbourne Council- man Mike Hazlette said, "I understand the Olive Branch theory. But sometimes there is no one on the other end grab- bing that branch." Yet the West Melbourne city council voted 5-1 to delay the vote despite a deadline approaching to draft changes to their comprehensive plan. "It is my understanding they have been kept up to date on the development of our water system all along," said Councilman Andy Anderson after the meeting. "Why does this come up now? Why does it come at a council meeting?" he asked. On Dec. 4, Mr. Gougelman explained that he and Mr. Rails thought the city staffs were in- agreement that the amendment would be left out until new language could be drafted by both cities and agreed upon. They were surprised to see the amendment regarding water still on the Dec. 2 West Melbourne council agenda. Mr. Gougelman said there have been delays in the past but most recently those were tied to the developers not pro- viding information back soon enough, or a genuine need for more information. The Harbor City, for now, needs to maintain control on that until all legal issues between the cities over water are resolved, Mr. Gougelman said. "Somebody is going to get the bright idea to file a lawsuit. I do care about how the sys- tem gets built. What we are doing is trying to help them make their system better," Mr. Gougelman said. As for as the rhetoric now at full volume between the com- munities, Mr. Gougelman takes a philosophical approach. "In my experience, I know that council members are working for their constituents and sometimes they ,say things," he said. "In the end, I see 14 respon- sible people who will make the right decisions for every- body," Mr. Gougelman said. * Residential Condos * Commercial Condos j~nI L ceri going through the land-use studies and buying land ... to keep the integrity of (the parkway)." . Mr. Kamm said the county has $21 million in bond money for the project, such as for right-of-way purchas- es. A $717,000 earmark will be split and used for the * two proposed inter- changes, Palm Bay deputy city manager Sue Hann said. The city also has a $2.7 million earmark for the Palm Bay portion of the parkway.

But it is nothing like the winter weather in which I lived for years. The inconvenience of having to wear a light jacket is nothing compared to having to layer thermal underwear, pants, sweaters, hat, scarf, gloves and mittens to keep warm. Note: that is not a typo. I do mean gloves and mittens. At the same time. And even ,then, my hands were cold. The recent minor torna- do that hit Palm Bay occurred on the same day, and in the same geographi- cal radius, as my Sunday picnic on the Indian River Lagoon. Armed with a historical novel, I took my pups and my takeout to a covered picnic table beside the river, where I basked in the warmth of the sun while reading the remaining pages of a tale about a, pioneer whose plans to make a profit from trapping and fur-trading in 1800s America cdd not material- ize. The wind whipped the book's pages, and my hair, in what's best described as a blustery gust. My instincts were right on target as we approached the car in our departure just as the raindrops began to hit the pavement. Traveling northward home, my eyes were riveted to the islands dotting the lagoon, beckon- ing me to visit in that kayak I want to buy.

Play From page BI "We eventually find the items and give them to the community," Sarah said. "The play teaches people the importance of helping others, especially during the holi- days." Because of this year's theme for the play, the church decided to incorporate the holiday outreach it hosts each year, said DoreenYandell, church secretary. "It's been really inspiring for the kids," she said. "It just made sense." , Rather than charging admission to the play, guests are encouraged to bring small toys for Operation Hope. They can also choose to bring an unwrapped toy.forToys for Tots, canned or boxed food items for Brevard Sharing Centers or items for the church's thrift shop, Shop of the Gulls in Indialantic. "This (play) is a great way for families to share in the Christmas spirit and help the community at the same time," Ms. Yandell said. "We're really looking forward to it." "Bows of Holly" will be Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. at St. Sebastian's By-the-Sea Episcopal Church, 2010 Oak St., Melbourne Beach.

Friday, December 12, 2008 Melbourne * B5 Friday, December 12, 2008 Mentor program helps at-risk students succeed in school By Jenet Krol Krol@hometownnewsol.com The volunteers with Take Stock in Children believe that one of the key ingredi- ents to student success is showing them that someone cares. Mentors meet with chil- dren accepted in the pro- gram for one hour each week to discuss college, career exploration, home- work and non-academic subjects, such as their friends or family. "It's someone to listen to them," said Marilyn Fashano, program coordina- tor of Take Stock in Children with the Brevard Schools Foundation, the nonprofit organization that works in conjunction with Brevard Public Schools. Take Stock in Children has been helping students with dropout prevention in grades 7 -12 since 1996, said Ms. Fashano. When the students finish high school they have the promise of a Florida Prepaid Account Scholarship to attend a Florida State Col- lege or technical program. The students must main- tain a 2.5 grade point aver- age to remain in the pro- gram. "Our mentors are our eyes NASCAR STORE Open Sundays During December * T SACEID T-SHIRIS * HATS * NOVELTIES * NEWI DVD'SIN SHICKI 5169 S. Washington Ave. (US 1) across from Eckler's In South Tituaville I and ears of the program," said Ms. Fashano. "They let us know if the students are not doing well in a certain area and keep them on track for a successful graduation." Take Stock in Children is hoping to add 60 new men- tors to the program for the coming school year. "We can't give a student a scholarship until we have a mentor for them," said Ms. Fashano. Mentors receive one-and- a-half hours of training, which includes listening skills for hints on problems in school or at home and college preparatory sugges- tions. Mentors commit to one full school year with a child, but many will stay with that student until college, said Ms. Fashano. Wanda Gray, a grant man- ager with Take Stock in Chil- dren and a former American history teacher, has men- tored three students for the past six years. One is a high school sen- ior this year, and another, who she has mentored since middle school, just entered college. "It's a good way to help (children) stay on track and focused and show that someone has an interest in them besides their family,". she said. Funds to provide the $10,000 in scholarships are raised through corporate and private donations, and funding is matched dollar for dollar by the Florida pre- paid Stars project, which offers low-income, first- time college-bound stu- dents a Florida Prepaid col- lege education, said Ms. Fashano. Ginny Gleason, a former guidance counselor at Andersen Elementary School in Rockledge, began volunteering two years ago because she missed contact with students. "The students in this pro- gram are really hard-work- ing and focused on succeed- ing and getting into college," she said. Ms. Gleason currently mentors a high school stu- dent who she has mentored since junior high. She meets with her stu- dent during non-academic class time, and says the time commitment of one hour a week is not huge, but makes a huge differ- ence for the student. "The rewards for me are huge. To spend time with a teenager and hear their hopes and dreams - just knowing I have a small part in helping a child suc- ceed is wonderful."

Rescued by Brevard Coun- ty Animal Control after con- cerned neighbors called to say the dog had been aban- s doned and locked in a bath- s room with no food or water, Brutus is alive and well at the Titusville Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, awaiting adoption. His owner, Angela Campo, is now no longer allowed to own a dog without the per- mission of a judge, but the group, Voices for Ella, does not feel this punishment is strong enough. For, the other animals of Brevard County who have suffered animal cruelty, the group wants to see tougher punishment for their own- ers. The group, formed after Cocoa resident Christine Abrams was arrested and charged with animal cruelty after her German shepard, Ella, was found starved to death, is working to raise awareness and increase the number of felony convic- tions for animal cruelty in Florida. Ms. Abrams was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty after pleading no contest, Dec. 4. Members of Voices for Ella believe Ms. Abrams should have been convicted of a felony. "Animal cruelty is running rampant in Brevard Coun- ty," said Holly Gann, a mem- ber of Voices for Ella. "It's a, problem with the police, animal control and the state attorney's office. We want them to work together to stop animal cruelty in Bre- vard. Right now, what they are doing is just not enough." Ms. Gann said their group keeps aware of animal cru- elty cases in Brevard County, and is working to introduce bills to the state legislature to clarify animal cruelty laws. "We felt something had to be done. We wanted to take a stand against animal cru- elty and make people more aware (of) what is going on," she said. Charges of animal cruelty can fall under a misde- meanor or felony charge, said Michael Raska, assis- tant state attorney with the State Attorney's Office for the 18th Judicial Circuit 1.

"For a felony charge we have the burden to show exactly what killed (the ani- mal) and that it was cruel and painful," he said. Ms. Abrams was found guilty of one count of cruel- ty to animals and one count of confinement of animals, which are both first-degree misdemeanors, after her no contest plea. She was sen- tenced to eight months in jail, one year's probation, 80 hours of community service and faces close to $6,000 in fines and fees, said Lynn Bumpus-Hooper, research assistant with the State Attorney's Office for the 18th Judicial Circuit Court. Ms. Abrams could not be charged with a felony because no necropsy was performed, and it could not be proven that starvation was the dog's actual cause of death, said Mr. Raska. The members of Voices for Ella would like to see that criteria changed, said Ms. Gann. "For a misdemeanor you don't have to commit the actual cruelty. You just have to have the intent to commit the action," said Ms. Gann. "It should be the same for a felony charge." In addition to Ms. Abrams' jail time, she will not be allowed to own an animal during the year of her probation. "We're pretty disappoint- ed in Brevard County," said Ms. Gann, "but we're highly supportive of law enforce- ment. When they do make an arrest in cruelty cases they are our heroes, and we appreciate the hard work prosecutors put into cases. There just needs to be more done."

Hometown News I ,~ ~I iI~� - B6 * Melbourne Sixth-graders have a blast at KSC By Jenet Krol Krol@hometownnewsol.com KENNI'DY SPACE (.I.N- TER - More than 5,000 Bre- vard County sixth-graders invaded the Kennedy Space Center as part of Brevard Space Week. Students got the chance to tour the space center, participate in a scavenger hunt, listen to presentations by former astronauts, watch an IMAX movie about the moon, learn about the new Constellation Project and take a ride on the Shuttle Launch Experience. The trip was the culmina- tion of a week's worth of learning about space, the history of the space pro- gram and the impacts the program has on Brevard County's economy. "We cover everything from the beginning of the space program to.the histo-. ry of the planets and the build-up the space program has meant to this country," said Rick Juarez, a sixth- grade teacher at Saturn ile- nmentary iin Cocoa. "This is a fabulous opportunity for (the students) to see what is going o0n in their own back yards." The curriculum was developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Education, Brevard Public Schools and Kennedy Space Center Visi- tor's Complex. NASA Education, Brevard Schools Foundation, Delaware North Companies Parks and Resorts and the Florida Chapter of the National Space Club devel- oped the program six years ago. "A lot of their parents work here at KSC, and some students had never gotten to see it," said Andrea Farmer, public relations manager for KSC Visitor Center. Samantha Carroll, a sixth- grade student at Saturn Ele- mentary School, had visited KSC once before and said she is interested in seeing where the space program will take them in the future. "We're goiing to be living in space or underwater in the future, so it's cool to learn about where we might live," she said. Abby Johns, a sixth-grader at Surfside Elementary in Satellite Beach, said she had enjoyed learning about the space shuttle and how it orbits the Earth. "It's important to go into space so we can see what is outside of the Earth," she said. Dave Schiess, who teach- es math and writing at Golfview Elementary in Rockledge, said a lot of stu- dents at his school partici- pate in the robotics program and coming to the space center is a great way to teach them about technology. "We're also learning about the huge transition from the shuttle program into the Constellation Program and the impact that will have on the economy," he said. Matthew Liverman, a sixth-grader at Golfview Ele- Students to name new rover By Jenet Krol Krol@hometownnewsol.com Like a proud parent, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is searching for' the perfect name for its new Mars rover. To help find that name, NASA will enlist the help of students ages 5 to 18 across the nation. "What better way to get youth involved in this incredible space project?" said Dwayne. Brown, NASA spokesman. "This is a chance for (children) and schools to get more into sci- entific endeavors and activi- ties." The rover, which is sched- uled to launch in,, fall of 2009, is about the size .of a small car, said Guy Webster, spokesman for Jet Propul- sion Labs in Pasadena, Calif., where the rover is being built. It's 10 feet long, 9 feet wide and has a 7-foot-high mast with a camera at the top. "It will have a more sophisticated payload and will be able to do different types of analysis. than the two that are up there now," said Mr. Webster.

Spirit and Opportunity, the two rovers that are cur- rently on Mars, were named during a similar competition sponsored by Lego. "The rovers have been like folks' little children,"' said Mr. Brown. "The enthusiasm for the rovers from children. ;and;, adults alike is incredible! '2;'. NASA hopes this compe- tition, which is being spon- sored by Disney, will gener- ate that same enthusiasm for the new rover, he said. Wall-E, from the Dis- ney/Pixar film, is featured on the competition's Web site. , "We're so excited about this partnership with Dis- ney," said Mr. Brown. The competition is open to students 5 to 18 years old who attend a U.S. school and are enrolled in the cur- rent academic year.
