Cortner News-Gazette Staff Writer FaulknerUSA has request- ed that Osceola County pay for updating data in studies relating to the proposed con- vention center and hotel com- plex. Based in Austin, Texas, FaulknerUSA is currently Reworking its development and financing plan for the. project that the County Com- mission shelved in August and then reactivated in early March, both, actions at the. company's request. County Manager Ed Hun- zeker said he was to meet with the developer and invest- merit/banking representatives Wednesday and that he would County may vote Monday on CRAfor St. Cloud By Jason Holland News-Gazette Staff Writer St. Cloud officials are hop- ing Osceola County commis- sioners Monday will approve a community redevelopment district proposed by the city. Commissioners have indi- cated they would back the plan, but have not voted on it. Monday's vote caps a year and half long effort by the city to establish a CRA district. At a meeting in March, city offi- cials had modified plans, mak- ing the area covered by the district smaller, to secure sup- port of commissioners. The district will use tax increment financing to fund infrastructure and other improvements. Under that system, property values will be frozen and any difference in the tax revenue as the property appreciates will be. used to fund improvements over the 27-year life of the agency. See CRA, page A-6 FaulknerUSA reworking plan shelved in August report on the "business end" of the proposal at the com- missioners' meeting Monday. "There are some funda- mental questions that need to be answered," he said, refer- ring to the estimated cost of the convention center, the hotel and how much money the county would have to bor- row for the project. "We'll see if what they are presenting makes any business sense." Commission Chairman Paul Owen was wary of spending county staff time on anything except reviewing a' completed and up-to-date proposal for the project that was estimated 'in August to cost $350 million. "The criteria for looking at this again was that the county would not help put the deal together," he said. The chairman added that the county has already spent $350,000 on the proposal but that a $1 million perform- ance bond FaulknerUSA for- feited when it requested the county shelve its proposal covered those costs. "We're still ahead of the game. However, I think it was very clear we would not do anything except look at a completed proposal," said Owen. Commissioner Ken Ship- ley, who voted against reacti- vating the project, said 'that the county manager told him that FaulknerUSA wants the' county to put aside $150,000 to $200,000 to hire a con- sultant to update the data. At the last commission meeting, Hunzeker only said publicly that the studies might have to be updated. '"My feelings are that the $1 million was with the first deal and that deal is over," he said.

Police say suspects "-- OL. uuuu ruuuery By Brian McBride News-Gazette Staff Writer Used to commit an armed robbery at a St. Cloud phar- macy Tuesday, toy guns that look like real weapons are causing concern among local authorities. The St. Cloud and Kissim- mee police departments, as. well as the neighboring Orange County Sheriff's Office, have all had some tense experiences with the realistic-looking weapons. And some law enforcement' officials are worried that a juvenile could get injured or killed by waving such an item around in front of the wrong people. "It's a concern," said St. Cloud Police Lt. Vincent Shepherd. "These guns are realistic." At about 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday, St. Cloud police said , Christopher Henriques DaRosa, 17, and.Jeffrey Que- tant, 16, entered the CVS Pharmacy, 2105 13th St., dressed in black, wearing ski masks and carrying realistic- looking semiautomatic air pis- tols. One gun appeared to be a Beretta-model handgun, while other looked like a Colt model, Shepherd said. One male put his gun to a store employee's head and threatened to shoot her, police officials said. The employees were then taken to the store manager's office and ordered to the floor. "They were in fear," Shep- herd said. The manager was forced to open one safe and when he denied having a key to a sec- ond safe, one suspect struck him in the face. The men emptied the safe contents and fled in a gold- colored Toyota Corolla, which was stopped several blocks from the scene. An undis- closed amount of cash and checks was recovered from inside the vehicle. Both air pistols were also seized, reports said. The guns had been manufactured with orange tips on the barrel to differentiate them as toy guns, but the suspects had rubbed them off, Shepherd said. See Guns, page A-3 It costs more to keep buses running By Ed Scott News-Gazette Staff Writer Area gas prices are now at record levels reflecting a national trend and con- tinue to increase. Since Feb. 24, prices in Georgia, Tennessee and Florida have increased by at least 22 cents, according to AAA Auto Club South. Locally, the price of a gal- lon of regular gas was $2.17 Thursday, about 42 cents per gallon more than in March 2004, according to AAA. The price of a gallon of diesel was $2.33, aboui 53 cents per gallon more than a year ago. Meanwhile, area businesses and gdvern- ment agencies, many of which use diesel fuel in their vehicles, are being hit hard by the recent increases. Buses were parked in the transportation facility on Simpson Road this week as the Osceola County School District was off for spring Ne.'-Gauzeue Pho'o'EJ Sconi Driver Jimmy Ashburn fills up a school bus gas tank Thursday. break. But Jim Beekman, district executive director of transportation, said the price of diesel fuel, which the buses use, is up for the sec- ond straight year. "Last year wasn't nearly as bad," he said. 'The price of a gallon of diesel purchased by the dis- trict increased from about $1.23 per gallon in August to about $1.67 inri March Fuel prices always go up prior to summer, Beekman said. The bulk of: this- increase began earlier in the spring. See Gas, page A-2 Greer heads panel to study No Child Left Behind impact By Ed Scott News-Gazette Staff Writer When President Bush signed No Child Left Behind into law in 2002, one of the four principal goals was to make school districts more accountable for achieving good results. By holding all 50 states to the same standards, they hoped to close the "achieve- ment gap" and make certain all students, including those who are disadvantaged, excel academically. But the law allows each state to' set different rules for reaching those high stan- dards. That means schools in one state can score high on standardized tests that are considered to be of average difficulty, and make "adequate yearly progress" the law's measure of success while schools in another state can score lower on tougher tests, and not make progress. Many Florida schools fall into the lat- ter group. Only three Osceola County School District schools "made progress" in 2004. Only 17.8 percent of Florida schools made progress, lowest in the United States, according to a Standard & Poor's report. By contrast, 81 percent of Texas schools and 63.1 per- cent of Georgia schools made progress under the federal standards. Some 53.9 'per- cent of California schools, where student populations closely mirror Florida's mobil- ity and diversity, made progress.

By Brian McBride News-Gazette Staff Writer Thanks to a young Central Florida teenager who has championed the protection of four-legged police warriors, the Kissimmee Police Depart- ment will have bulletproof vests for its three new police dogs. Fourteen-year-old DeLand resident Stacey Hillman, pres- ,ident of Pennies to Protect Police Dogs, a non-profit charity that solicits funds for vests, received more than $1,800 from three corporate sponsors last week to pur- chase the three Point Blank 11A flak vests for Kissimmee K-9 dogs Arko, Bery and Solo.

See story in Sports, page B-1. Page A2, NEWS-GAZETTE, Saturday, April 2, 2005 Gas Continued from page A-1 The district has already spent the $800,000 budget- ed to cover diesel costs for this school year. The depart- ment recently received approval to add $200,000 to its budget for diesel to cover the increased-costs. At the same time the dis- trict has not exceeded its $175,000 budget for gaso- line because of low consump- tion. Each of the 300 school buses averages 30,000 miles on the road per year. Each bus provides transportation for students from one to four schools per day. The district pays almost $26,000 a year to maintain each bus, including labor and maintenance, oil, filters and tires. The largest percentage of the cost is fuel. Fuel is bought in bulk, about 7,200 gallons of diesel - or 8,500 gallons of gasoline per tanker truck. " While the district does .not pay state sales tax, it does pay federal taxes related to the environment. "It's not a great big sav- ings, but the savings do add up. We go through 58,000 gallons of diesel a month." Had the prices increased earlier in the school year, "it would have been much worse," Beekman said. "Had that been in September, the board would have been faced with choices on how to fix it. There will be an impact for next year. It's easier to make the adjustment on the front end." There are plans to pur- chase some 50 new buses next year to accommodate three new elementary schools, the Kmart facility and other programs. "We try to optimize the use of our equipment and make as many runs as possible," Beekman said. Municipal governments are adapting to the increased prices as well. Thomas P. Klinker, Osceola County financial services director, said his department has not requested a budget amend- ment yet, six months into the fiscal year. "We'll know the full impact of the price increases in mid- summer," he said. The public works depart- PRE lS ALL ment, building inspectors and fire/EMS are the county's pri- mary fuel users, Klinker said. "We understand there are issues there and we are going to monitor them," he said. The Kissimmee Police Department is currently work- ing on its next budget. Lt. Ralph Moore said the review includes looking at gas prices. "It's definitely an area that we have to keep our eye on, so we can properly do our budget," he said. Moore added that the department does not foresee the need for a budget amend- ment right now and would never sacrifice services because of the cost of gas. "Patrols will go on," he said. "We may have to move money from other line items, but we would never sacrifice any services to the city of Kissimmee." Municipalities are loath to consider sacrificing public safety services, but there is a precedent. "I don't know that there is an answer to that, because of the nature of their jobs;" said Randy Bly, director of com- munity relations for AAA Auto Club South. "They have to drive. I've heard of, in years' past, during the (1970s) oil embargo, they parked cruisers and decreased, patrols," in other states. Businesses that rely on transportation are also affect- ed by the recent uptick in gas prices. Golden Carriage Florist delivers flowers to a radius of about 20 miles from its store at 1350 S. John Young Park- way. The minimum charge for delivery is $6.95 and owner Allen Smith said no increase is planned yet. "We're still watching," Smith said of the price of gas. "Last year, when everything started going up, we did increase our delivery charges, but we have not seen fit to do that yet." Smith said they tell their customers about the delivery charge upfront. "For the, most part, people understand and they are wil- ing to pay that and it does not. affect the gift that they select," said Smith, whose shop has been open since 1979. Mother's Day, the best- selling day in the flower busi- ness, is May 8 this year. Smith said florists, not sons and daughters, will deliver most gifts. "Most everyone wants something delivered," he said. "It's the surprise." Bly said gas prices are at "historic record highs" but the public has not changed its habits. "People are not driving in a manner that is consistent with an effort to save gaso- line," he said. "I don't know if there are any remedies for people for whom it is their livelihood." Some of Bly's suggestions that all motorists can try include: maintain the vehicle properly, keep tire pressure accurate and drive at a slow speed, something that public safety workers can't always afford to do. Bly said the country is "not ,at that point where we were back in the '70s." Adjusted for inflation, he said, the cost of oil would have to be $90 per barrel now to be as high as it was then. It's at $55 per. barrel now, he said. Contact Ed Scott at 407- 846-7600, Ext. 210. E-mail at escott@ osceolanewsgazette.com Celebrating a wedding or engagement?

Shipley added that he would not support spending county money for consultant work, adding that FaulknerUSA said in August it would proceed on its own to fine-tune the project. CH Johnson Consulting, an international real estate and hospitality consulting firm based in Chicago, in collabo- ration with economists at TXP (Texas Perspectives Inc.), an economic analysis and public policy consulting firm based in Austin, in April 2004 present- ed a strategic business plan for the project. That business plan included market and demand studies related to mid-size convention centers. Shipley, who was ready to drop the convention deal before because he said FaulknerUSA- could not deliv- er the project, recently point- ed out that in February an Iowa town sued the company claiming it suffered millions of dollars in damages. Allegations in the case - which FaulknerUSA has vehe- mently denied include breach of contract, fraud and negligent representation. According to information garnered from published arti- cles, the town of Coralville, Iowa, hired FaulknerUSA in March 2003 to design a hotel/conference center proj- ect with a budget of $57 mil- lion. However, bids came back nearly 50 percent more than the estimate. As a result, the city devised a new plan in which an out- side company would build the project for a set amount and then turn the keys over to the city when completed. Coralville officials say they paid Faulkner $3 million for its work and are seeking reim- bursement, punitive damages and legal costs. FaulknerUSA claims the Coralville lawsuit is malicious and contains false accusations and that the demand by the city to use local tradesmen on the project along with indeci- sion and questionable choices by city officials led to the high- er estimate. FaulknerUSA, which derives the majority of its work in the hospitality con- struction niche, also is devel- oping a 1,000-room conven- tion center hotel in San Anto- nio. "I would think that any pru- dent individual would say this lawsuit is interesting," said Shipley when asked whether the case had reverberated locally. When asked about the Osceola County project, Terri Dusek, communications direc- tor for FaulknerUSA, said there's a lot of "political inter- ference and misperceptions going on now." "The whole purpose of this project has gotten lost while we've stayed the course," she said." We did what we said we were going to do, which was to bring this project back. The county, before we even came into the picture, wanted to do a convention center and hotel." Dusek also said the local hotel association in Osceola 'County supports the project, as do other business groups. On the Iowa lawsuit, Dusek said, "Lawsuits are a part of life; it has no impact on Osce- ola County's project." On the request for funding to update the market studies for the Osceola County proj- -ect, Dusek deferred to county officials. FaulknerUSA also is one of two companies to have sub- mitted proposals to develop the 30-acre downtown Kissimmee lakefront project through the Kissimmee Com- munity Redevelopment Agency. Those proposals were to be presented today. Contact Marvin G. Cortner at 407-846-7600, Ext. 205.

Se habla espafiol QB4649 _ Guns Continued from page A-I "If they were to raise it (pis- tol) at a police officer they would have gotten shot," Shepherd said. Both DaRosa and Quetant were arrested and charged with armed robbery, kidnap- ping and grand theft. In Kissimmee last year, 19- year-old Victor Lescano was holding a BB gun rifle that appeared to be an assault weapon when he pointed at two armed security guards at an apartment complex, said Kissimmee' Police Officer Ralph Herrera, agency spokesman. Lescano had what appeared to be an AR-15 rifle with a telescopic sight at the Regatta Bay apartments, off John Young Parkway, when he confronted the guards. "He threatened to shoot the victims," Herrera said. "It was a very realistic looking rifle." Lescano was held at gun- point by the armed guards and later charged by police with aggravated assault. And earlier this month, Orange County deputies were dispatched to an area apart- ment complex, in reference to a person with a gun. When they arrived they found four teenagers were holding what appeared to be real pistols and were ordered to drop them, said Crystal Candy, sheriff's office spokeswoman. The guns were actually "airsoft" pistols, which use compressed gas to fire plastic pellets. The pistols are becoming a popular alterna- tive to paintball shooting sporting events. "They looked like realistic weapons," Candy said. "We want to put out the word to parents that these guns look real and it's dangerous to be outside and waving them around in public view." Saturday, April 2, 2005, NEWS-GAZETTE, Page A3 Benefit trail ride planned April 9 at Harmony By Jason Holland News-Gazette Staff Writer The life of a cowboy, bunk- ing down next to his com- padres, rising early to feed and water the horses, long rides into the sunset. For many kids with disabilities, serious illnesses or behavioral problems, such activities; even for a short period, can be ben- eficial. For that reason the Harmo- ny Institute is organizing its first Spirit Stable Trail Ride April 9. Proceeds from the event will go toward the con- struction of a bunkhouse to give kids from a variety of backgrounds and organiza- tions a place to stay and get away from it all. Riders in the fund-raising event will have the opportuni- ty to take part in the third annual Dark Sky Festival, a country dinner and bluegrass party at Greensides and a sun- set ride. Those who take part will camp out under. the stars on the north side of Buck Lake on Harmony property and rise early for a prayer breakfast and then for a sub- stantial ride through wild areas of the development. The' trail ride is BYOH, or bring your own horse, said Martha Lentz, director of the institute. The bunkhouse is planned to go next to the Spirit Stable, which 'is expected to be under construction by this summer. The stable, which is currently in temporary quarters, will have a covered arena and a barn. - According to Lentz, direc- tor the institute, the effort to build a bunkhouse is an exten- sion of the organization's work with several organiza- tions, including the Transition House and the Make A Wish Foundation. It will allow kids and their families to stay overnight for several days at a time and participate in more in-depth ranch activities, said Lentz. "We want to do more out- reach. It will allow us to reach more kids," said Lentz. "Working on a ranch, inter- acting with horses, there is some real therapeutic ,benefit for kids," added Lentz. "There needs to be a camp for kids with economic or family issues. They need that special touch that horses and nature provide." Other groups that could benefit include Give Kids Safe Shelter, the Children's Home Society, Boys and Girls Clubs and H.O.M.E., among others. Representatives from many of those organizations will take part in the trail ride. Lentz said the details of the bunkhouse have not yet been worked out. They will gauge community support first, but hope it will reflect some of Osceola County's rural her- itage and culture. The trail ride is expected to become an annual event, said Lentz, and- they hope to raise about $10,000 this year. With no definite plans, it is not clear how much money is needed to start construction. About 70 riders have signed up already for the trail ride, said Lentz, and there are still openings. The cost is $70 per person 'to ride, $30 for dinner, or $50 for two. Riders- can also be sponsored. For more information call' the Harmony Institute at 407- 957-0207. New~s bif Vests Continued from page A-1 tracking harness. "The vests for the Kissim- mee police canines will kelp protect them in the line of duty," said Police Chief Mark Weimer. Hillman, who has been fea- tured on CNN Headline News, America's Most Wanted, Read- ers Digest and Animal Planet, has raised more than $300,000 to provide more than 400 vests to 150 law enforcement agencies in 28 states from Alaska to Florida. Incorporated in March of 2000, her organization was born after she read an article about a New Jersey police dog that was shot, and killed. She was only 9 years old. "The police dogs risk their lives every day," Hillman said. "They don't have any protec- tion." While police agencies equip officers with vests, the dogs are often left unprotected. "It's a benefit to us," said Kissimmee Police Officer Ralph Herrera, department .spokesman. ."Some law enforcement agencies, includ- ing us, do not budget for the vests." The three vests for Kissim- mee canines, which cost $601 each, were provided by the Sil- ver Spurs Riding Club, Gator- land and Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association Interna- tional of Central Florida after Hillman gave an emotional presentation at an Orlando luncheon last month. "It's the mission of the Sil- ver Spurs to give back to the community," said Silver Spurs General Manager Michelle Harris. "We saw this as a per- fect fit." Hillman said she wouldn't rest until all police dogs nationwide are fitted. "My goal is to buy every police dog a vest," she said. Contact Brian McBride at 407-846-7600, Ext. 208. E-mail at bmcbride@ osceolanewsgazette.com Pedestrian killed in traffic A St. Cloud man was killed on a local highway Thursday after authorities said he stepped out into oncoming traffic. According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, a 2005 GMC pick-up truck driv- en by Alfred Heustis, 60, of St. Cloud, and a 1990 Chevrolet pick-up truck driv- en by Kathy Flattery, 44, also of St. Cloud, were traveling west on U.S. High- way 192 just east of Narcoossee Road at about 5:40 a.m. As the victim, James Walters, 22, of 121 15th St., attempted to cross the highway in the area, it appeared that he stepped off the curb and was struck by Heustis. He was then thrown into the path of Flattery's vehicle, which also hit him, reports said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. While the investigation was ongoing, charges against the drivers weren't expected, reports'said.

The bill, which has so far passed unanimously in the Senate and is working its way through the House, would allow a homeowner or motorist to shoot first and ask questions later. The Central Florida Police Benevo- lent Association and National Rifle A--ociatio.n are backing the two simi- cla bills tat would allow a person to use deadly force against an attacker in a dwelling. The bill presumes that the attacker has deadly intent and would provide immunity from criminal pros- ecLi:tinci if the homeowner uses deadly fp.rce. : As the law stands now, honieown- ers cannot use deadly force unless they believe an intruder intends to kill them. Those who do not meet that standard face criminal prosIcuitionr Both Kissimmee Police Chief Mark Weimer and St. Cloud Police.Chief Pat Kell'.' had concerns with the pro- posed law' Kelk' wondered about the possible risk of a deadly mistake. What if an inebnated individual tried to enter the wrong home? Kelly said the city sev- eral years ago had a rash of juvenile break-ins and those suspects could legally have been shot and killed under the proposed law. Weimer had different concerns. He worried that more motorists may begin carrying weapons in their car because the bill would allow motorists to shoot intruders who attempt to enter vehicles. We believe that. Weimer and Kelly raise some valid concerns over the proposed bill. Protecting one's property is one of the most basic principals of this coun- tiy, but some caution is necessary when condoning the use of deadly force. The last thing that the state needs is to give cart blanche approval to more weapons being allowed in vehi- cles. There are situations where home- owners and motorists are justified in their use of deadly force against an intruder, and the current law provides for immunity from criminal prosecu- tions in those situations. The state doesn't need to take the next step that the proposed House and Senate bills would provide. Shooting first and asking questions later is an ill-advised policy to allow. I .

As you've probably guessed, I'm writing about Terri Schiavo, who died March .31. And I'm doing what I guess we all do when we contemplate her tragedy. I am per-. sonalizing it. How can you not? On the one side, there is Michael Schiavo, ordering removal of the feeding tube that sustained his wife for 15 years because, he said, she would not have wanted to live in a vege- tative state. On the other, there are the parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, begging in tears for their daughter to simply live, in whatever state she could. It is only natural to run such a painful conundrum through the filter of experience or imagination - and try to tease out truth you can live with. Here's mine. Acceptance is hard. Acceptance hurts like hell. For as much time as we've spent discussing spousal rights, political opportunism and the meaning of life, I think that's the signature lesson here: Conceding the inevitability of death is one of the hardest duties of life. And' maybe the longer you put it off -- the Schindlers and Michael Schia- vo have beeri fighting for seven years the more difficult it 'becomes. Which is why the denouement of this drama has been painful, even for those of us who were not directly involved. Watching the increasingly naked desperation of the fight to keep Terri alive came to feel intrusive and voyeuristic. You wanted to turn away, but there was no place you could go. So you watched as the Schindlers strained credulity with claims that their daughter tried to say, "I want to live," even as her feeding tube was removed. And never mind that, five years ago,, according to a report in the Miami Herald, the couple openly conced- ed that Terri was insensate, her brain destroyed. You watched as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, in a stunning illustration of the axiom about politics and bedfellows, spoke out on behalf of the Schindlers, a boogeyman of the liberal left making common cause with the 'eligriLOus right You watched as House Majority Leader Tom DeLay denounced as "barbarism" the removal of Terri's feeding tube and trampled the con- stitutional separation of powers with extraordinary legislative maneuvers to keep her alive, yet neglected to mention that he raised no similar objection 17 years ago when his father suffered a massive head injury and the family decided it was best that the elder DeLay be allowed to die. You watched as people went just a little bit nuts. And maybe, if you were the praying type, you said, Hey, God, how about a little help here? When should we stop waiting on the mir- acle? When is it OK to give up hope? But God, as far as is known, kept His own counsel. Maybe He felt He'd said what He had to say 15 years ago. Terri Schiavo's death, hard as it was, feels like mercy. For her and 'for i.s Once again, we canravoid confronting our irresolute feelings and fears. There is, however., wisdom here, for those who care to seek it. Roughly distilled, it goes like this: to face reality is not to betray faith. God answers every prayer, a preacher once said. Sometimes, the answer is no.

Letters Blessings from misfortune To the editor: I had the most delightful conver- sation the other day that I want to share with as many people as possi- ble. * I like to support new businesses in the Kissimmee area and I'm always interested in the way these businesses get started. Is it family owned? Is it a joint venture? When inquiring about one new business in particular, I learned that three years ago a little girl by the name. of Breck was born with severe heart problems. She has spent a great deal of time in the hospital and has already had two open-heart surgeries. She will continue to need surgery as her little body grows. When the mother would travel from home to the hospital every day, she got in the habit of bringing cookies with her to show her appreciation to the people who cared for her daughter. People raved about the cookies, encouraging her to open her own shop. Now, three years later, Breck is doing much better and Kissimmee has a new business: Breck's Gourmet Cookies. Amazingly, misfortunes can turn to blessings. Their cookies are fan- tastic. Carolyn Parsons Kissimmee Safety precautions To the editor: A letter writer in a recent Satur- day issue concluded that the only way to seriously reduce the number of motor vehicle accidents is to insti- tute a rigorous driver-training pro- gram before issuing licenses. He believes this training should be com- parable to that required of commer- cial drivers and airplane pilots. But he indicates that he knows this is politically impossible. I would, how- ever, point out that drunken drivers are often at fault, and other nations with much more severe penalties for driving drunk don't have the fatality rate we experience. This change should be politically feasible. One motorist worried about stop- ping safely as the light ahead turned yellow. She said that if she braked hard enough to stop before it went to red, she might be hit from .behind, perhaps even knocked into the intersection. But there are, two things to do to help prevent such trouble. First, check your rearview mirror as you approach the intersec- tion to see if you are being tailgated. If so, the. second thing is to get that driver to back off by a series of short raps on your brake pedal. This same precaution should also prevent trou- ble as you slow down, with turn sig- nal on, when planning a turn into a side street. Some more good tips on prevent- ing rear-end collisions are'offered on page 34 of the "Florida Driver's Handbook," which is free of charge at your motor vehicle driver's license office. While waiting for the red light, there is another unpleasant possibili- ty. You're checking your rearview mirror, just in case, and here comes somebody sailing along from behind who is not watching the road. You might get this person's attention by punching your brake lights and blasting your horn. But if nothing works, prepare for the crash by depressing your break pedal hard to avoid being banged into the car ahead or pushed into the intersec- tion. Hopefully you had left a good six feet between you and the car ahead (since you are now legally responsible for whatever happens in front of you). Also, protect yourself against whiplash by putting your head against your seat's head restraint behind you; presumably you had the good sense to fasten your seat belt before you started to dive, which should help keep you from being banged around. A.F. Gagne Osceola Coordinator AARP Driver Safety Program Taxpayers lose To the editor: The editorial in the News-Gazette Saturday, March 26, "Follow the Rules," provided important facts about the'separation of news, adver- tising and editorials in a traditional newspaper. This should benefit John Willard, publisher of St. Cloud In The News. Willard has demon- strated, both by articles he has writ- ten and his skirting of Florida law, that he does not understand the function of a newspaper. Willard maintained, in an article in St. Cloud In The News, that newspapers should never endorse political candidates. However, a few weeks later, he did endorse the can- didacy of Wade Davis. Why the sud- den reversal of policy? Willard's explanation for supporting Davis' candidacy was, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." A better explanation right be that Willard felt his con- tract with St. Cloud might be in jeopardy if Davis' opponent were elected. The city of St. Cloud advertises in St. Cloud In The News and subsi- dizes its delivery once a month. The basis for the subsidy is delivery of Dateline, a publication written by one of St. Cloud's no-bid consul- tants. Was it accidental that the copy of Dateline delivered just before the recent election contained a glowing article about Deputy Mayor Davis? I think not. St. Cloud In The News functions as a cheer- leader for the present city adminis- tration and its no-bid consultants. This might explain why St. Cloud officials seem to favor the publica- tion. The taxpayers of St. Cloud are losers when elected officials use their tax money to subsidize a news- paper that functions as a propagan- da sheet for the city administration. George R.

"The goal is to correct No Child Left Behind," Greer said. "We're headed for a train wreck in this state because of our state stan- dards." Members of the nine-coun- ty Central Florida School Boards Coalition and the Florida School Boards Associ- ation are working to convince state legislators that changes should be made. Coalition members met with Central Florida legislators Feb. 16 in Tallahassee to discuss No Child Left Behind, as well as increases in funding for stu- dents and facilities for high- growth school districts. At issue is the complicated way by which progress is cal- culated. Each state writes its own assessment test. Scores from the Florida Comprehen- sive Assessment Test are used to determine which schools in Florida make progress. ', "Florida, believe it or not, has one of the most if not the most rigorous tests," Greer said. "The FCAT is real- ly, really challenging." Greer said while the state's A+ plan, which includes the FCAT, measures how much progress students make from one year to the next, No Child Left. Behind, according to Greer, measures student achievement on a specific test day. S"There is a lot of informa- tion out there about how p6orly the schools are doing nationally, or Florida in partic- ular," Greer said. "You can make statistics do whatever you want them to do." Greer said that he and oth- ers in the Osceola County School District welcome accountability, but prefer to look at scores from the News briefs Continued from page A-3 National Assessment of Edu- cational Progress, which bills itself as "the nation's report card" and asks the same ques- tions to students across the country. Florida schools placed third in the Southeast, behind North Carolina and Virginia, on the National Assessment test in 2004. Florida scored higher than the national aver- age on grade four reading and equal to the national average on grade four math. Califor- nia, Georgia and Mississippi all scored below the national average on both grade four reading and math. Since Florida students do well on the National Assess- ment test, Greer said, if they were taking another state's assessment tests, "we'd have 90 percent meeting AYP." Making progress matters because the law allows the federal government to assess penalties on school districts that don't. After 14 Title I schools failed to make progress last year, the Osceo- la district was forced to redi- rect 20 percent of its federal funding for free and reduced lunches to both after-school tutoring programs and trans- portation, so that parents can transfer their children from one school to another: Districts and schools that continually fail to make progress will continue to lose flexibility in how to use feder- al funding, and can ultimately be taken over by the state. No Child Left Behind is a federal law, but changes in it can be made without an act of Congress. Some 46 states have requested waivers, and Florida educators plan to do the same. Waivers can only be granted if the Florida Depart- ment of Education requests them of the U.S. Department of Education. Contact Ed Scott at 407- 846-7600, Ext. 210.

By Rick Pedone News-Gazette Staff Writer The good news is that after the first round of the Kissimmee Klassic Thurs- day, the St. Cloud Lady Bulldogs found themselves on the same side of the bracket as nationally- ranked Thousand Oaks, Calif., Pensacola Escambia and Southwest Miami. The bad news? They're all in the conso- lation bracket. That's what happens when you play in the Southeast's most competi- tive high school softball tournament. St. Cloud was bopped by Class 5A No. 7-ranked Tampa Plant, .the tourna- ment runner-up last year, 10-1. At least the Lady Bull- dogs, 13-2, got their game in. Five first-round games were suspended by electri- cal outages and rain and were scheduled to be com- pleted early Friday after- noon prior to the second round of the 46-team tour- nament, being played at the Osceola County Soft- ball Complex-. Osceola trailed Mel- bourne; 1-0, one-out into their first-round game before the rain shut things down. " Kowgirls coach George Coffey and Roger Jones,. the tournament directors, hope rain won't be a factor when the tournament resumes at 9 a.m. today. The championships for all .three brackets, the White, Blue and Gold, are sched- uled for 6 p.m. The semifi- nal round begins at 2:15. Admission is $8. St. Cloud, off to its best start of the fastpitch era, never challenged Plant, 12-4. The Panthers scored four runs in the first inning and blew it open with four more in the fifth off 'of .Lady Bulldogs ace Ashley Iveson, who took her sec- ond loss of the season. Plant pounded Iveson for 14 hits. Meanwhile, the Lady, Bulldogs didn't get 4 hit off of Plant's Megan Menard until the sixth when short- stop Megan DeYoung beat out an infield hit. Kaitlyn Poff followed with an infield hit and Kari Earn- hardt drew a walk to load the bases for Amy Milwee, who knocked in St. Cloud's lone run with a single that made the score 8-1. Bulldog Coach Joey Foster said tournament jit-' ters and good competition combined to throttle his club. "I think Ashley may have been a little tight. Coaches were here from N. -Gazerte Pl.h-tc./Sam Roberts Plant baserunner J.P. Pelaez beats Megan DeYoung's tag at third base during their Kissimmee Klassic game Thursday. Florida, Florida Southern, South Florida, and I think she was trying to be 'too careful with her spots in the first inning," said Fos- ter. Foster said that as long as his team learns from the experience, then the out- come is irrelevant. "That team was seventh in the state..You've got 26 ranked teams in this tour- rament, but that's why we came here. These are the teams that you are going to see in the playoffs," he said. We got off to a rough, start, but defensively we were okay." Osceola, 7-6, didn't take the field for its sched- uled 9:30 p.m. game until 10:40 after a 30-minute power outage that affected two of the five fields at the complex. The Kowgirls trailed, Melbourne, 6-6, 1-0. The game resumed Friday with Melbourne runners at first and third and one out. Southwest Miami lost a 1-0 thriller to nine-time state champ Naples Thurs- day. Thousand Oaks, No. 17 in the nation, 'was edged by unbeaten (17-0) Lakeland McKeel, 3-2, and Escambia, No. 21 nationally, fell to Miami Palmetto, 3-0. Bartow, No. '3 .nationally, blanked Miami American, 3-0. St. Thomas Aquinas, a three- time Klassic champ, stopped Eau Gallie, 1-0. Tampa Chamberlain, No. 18 nationally, beat Lakeland Jenkins 4-2. It met the Osceol.:-i-Mel- boume winner ifn the quar- terfinal round of the Blue bracket. OSCEOLA SENIOR GAMES RESULTS. Results of the. 11th Osceola County Senior .Games.

According to this report, Grant stum- bled on the curb, severely injuring his already-hurt ankle and rendering him useless for the rest of the NBA season.

Here are the infallible progn,:sti- cations for the 2005 Major League Baseball season And they have been tested to be steroid-free. National' League .. East: Atlanta. The Braves and Flori- da will both be better than last year's darling pick, Philadelphia. Maybe the New York Mets will, too. And isn't that nice, baseball's returned to Washington Central: Chicago Cubs and Houston have too many health question nmarks,so go with the safe pick. St. Louis. 2nd division: Cincinnati, Milwu.aukee, Pitts- burgh. West: Sleeper pick time San Diego over Los Angeles and San Fran- sisco. Colorado and Arizona will, um, play. Wild card: why not ... the Cubbies! American League .. East: Yanks or Sox, Yanks or Sox ... who cares, loser is the wild card. I take New York. Is anyone else in this divi- sion?

Yankees win another World Series. But I don't have to like it. Hardware ... MVP. AL: Manny Ramirez or Alex Rodriguez (whoever's on the division ,winner). NL: Albert Pujols. Cy Young: A tale of two Roys (Halla- day, AL; Oswalt, NL) Rookie of the Year: J.D. Closser (NL), Jeremy Reed (AL).

Section B Page B2, NEWS-GAZETTE, Saturday, April 2, 2005 Jacque Mitchell .. Fishin' Fun captain-jac.com ' The latest rains that fell in our area, and. the fact that the gate at the south end of the lake has been opened, has a lot of water flowing down the Kissimmee River. As a rule, when the water starts flowing, the bass start biting. The fact that our weather has somewhat stabi- lized hasn't hurt, either. I've heard of some nice bass being caught both in Lake Cypress and in Lake Kissimmee. From what I've heard, most are being caught in running water or way back in shallow water. Soft plastics seem to be working best. Some bass are also being caught on top water baits, such as. Devil's Horse and Bang '0 Lures. It seems that if the plug has blades on it, it. will catch fish. Another good choice has been the frog type of lures, especially the ones you buzz across heavy cover. Spec fishing has been slow- er this past week. I suspect most of them are finished ,spawning and are heading for deep water. Big Toho Marina will begin its, weekly Wednesday night tournaments April 6 at 5:30 p.m. Weigh-in times will vary weekly as the days get longer. Hope you can make it. It's a *good midweek break.

St. Cloud's girls and Gate- way's boys are the defending champions when the meet begins at 4 p.m. at St. Cloud High. "We had to run it earlier than normal because Celebra- tion and Harmony have dis- trict meets a week earlier than the rest of the schools," said Osceola boys coach Dana Dodson. "We scheduled some workouts over the break, but it's hard to say how ready any- one will be." Harmony joins 'the confer- ence meet for the first time. The Longhorns boast one of the county's top pole vaulters in senior Chris Hitt. The Kowboys have one of the strongest sprint teams in the county with Steffon Rad- cliff, Chris Bright, Charles Pugh and Marcus Regular and the top hurdler in senior Chris Collier, while Gateway also is strong in the jumps (Brandon Hartley) and sprints (Brandon Rivera). St. Cloud will rely on its distance (Corey Ronk) and weight teams to score points, while Poinciana's 4 x 800 relay is tops in the county, and senior hurdler Bill Christian is one of the county's best. Cele- bration has the county's top distance runner in junior Sean Blaney. The girls meet figures to be a duel between St. Cloud and Osceola. The Lady Bulldogs will pile up points in the field and distance events with pole vaulter Chelsea Pennington, jumper Brittnay Eady and dis- tance runner Laura Judd, while the Kowgirls should dominate the sprints with Unique Singleton and Natasha Fulmore. Senior Vanity * Vasquez is one of the best at 800. Poinciana has three of the county's top sprinters and jumpers in Shanice Johnson, Samantha Shade and Nakiah Warner.

According to a survey taken by the American Pet Products Man- ufacturers Association, pet own- ers spend $36 billion annually caring for their animals. That amounts to the seventh largest retail segment'inrfthe U.S.A. At the Global Pet Expo, held recently at the Orange County Convention Center, more than 1,000 pet retailers gathered to show off their latest wares from giant Tushiewipes to a complete line of doggy hair salon products from the makers of Paul Mitchell. The expo is an annual exhibition held by the APPMA. If it's made for a cat or dog, or even a hermit crab, it's at the pet expo. Say, for example, you hate leaving your favorite tabby alone for the day. Pop in a DVD from Pet Qwerks Inc. and he can watch two hours of birds flying, fish swimming, butterflies soaring as well as other tempting wildlife normally found only in a back- .yard. There is also a DVD for birds. Retail cost is $11.99. Have a dog with a never-end- ing thirst? Well, then maybe the Big-Dog Original Pet Fountain is what you need. The two-gallon fountain k-tIOU i U/Rt I- 1tL.UViNU Meadow, a 7-month-old yellow lab, was one of the pet guests at the Global Pet Expo. continually recirculates water and even has a charcoal filter to keep water fresh. The pet fountain comes in two sizes and costs $49.95 and $74.95. There's more information at their Web site www.petfountain.com. Maybe your problem is just a big, dirty dog that doesn't like baths? No discerning canine should be without the Pet Spa, "the world's first cabin for wash- ing and drying pets with hydro- massage effect." The spa sort of works like a giant washing machine for dogs. A company spokesman said despite the flow of water in the large cabin and the flowing air to dry pets, the spa is much less stressful on animals than a regu- lar bath. Water and air are even- ly distributed throughout the cabin, so little force is involved. Bath time is also cut in half. While it is available for home pur- chase, the Pet Spa can be found at grooming parlors. The cost per treatment is around $15-$20. Fastags has a unique way to let the world know your cat or dog's name, and how to help get your pet home should he go out for an unsupervised walk.

The kids at a midweek matinee seemed to eat it up, especially when Williams' character is on the screen. Adults will be amused at the intelligent screenplay from the veteran comedy writ- ing team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandell (Splash, City Slickers, Parenthood). For example, baby Rodney is brought to his home unassembled in a crate. His mother laments to his late- arriving father, "You missed the delivery." But, the assembly goes well. "He has your mother's eyes and my father's nose," said Rodney's father. "I'm glad we saved those parts." Wedge and executive pro- ducer William Joyce turned to household items like waffle. irons for inspiration in creating their robotic world. The ani- mators work-shopped many ideas to create lifelike expres- sions and movements for their robots, even viewing old Jimmy Stewart movies. It works. Back to the plot. After Rod- ney graduates from high school he invents a tiny robot to help his father wash dishes in a restaurant. It goes well until the little 'bot is frightened by the manager and makes a mess of the kitchen. Rodney is devastated and decides to take his invention to Robot City, home of Bigweld Industries. Bigweld (comedy legend Mel Brooks in his first animation voice-over) is the greatest robot of them all with a TV show and his own bal- loon in the holiday parade. Rodney bumps into Fender at the Robot City train station, and from that point Williams owns the movie. A wild, cross-town roller coaster ride to Bigweld Indus- tries ensues. But, Bigweld's sinister second-in-command, Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) has exiled Bigweld and taken over the company. His plan, hatched with his mother, the gruesome Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), is for the company to quit producing cheap replacement parts for robots so that new assemblies must be purchased at a greater profit. Meanwhile, the old robots will be destroyed at Madame Gasket's underground Chop Shop. That is, until Rodney's abili- ty to patch up the old robots ruins Ratchet's scheme. One of the movie's most entertaining scenes, has Rod- ney and Fender crashing the Bigwelder Ball. To pass by the fiendishly uncooperative door- man, Tim (Paul Giamatti), they pose as an uppity face-slap- ping count and his equally insufferable assistant. They are nabbed by security there, but one of Ratchet's assists, the sexy Cappy (Halle Berry) comes to Rodney's res- cue and takes him to Bigweld's home. Colorful characters like Aunt Fanny (Jennifer Coolidge), whose large posteri- or causes trouble in the tiny boarding house where Fender and Rodney stay, and Fender's feisty sister Piper (Amanda Bynes of Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show) lend some depth to the storyline. Drew Carey, Jay Leno, Al Roker, Dianne Wiest and Terry Brad- shaw all lend their voices. . The campy musical score by John Powell (Shrek), with percussion assistance from the Blue Man Group, will have the kids bopping to the beat as the credits roll. Since this movie .was released several weeks ago you may be tempted to wait for the DVD. But, if spring fever has struck and the offspring are driving you nuts this weekend, you won't regret parting with the theater admission.

Instead, a mean robot named Ratchet is there and he kicks Rodney's invention out the window and he kicks Rodney out. Fender takes Rodney to Aunt Fanny's house. Fender and some other robots, like his sister named Piper, live with Aunt Fanny. Aunt Fanny is funny because she has a big fanny. Every time she turns around, she knocks over. a bunch of robots. When the robots were making nasty sounds with their armpits, Aunt Fanny made a big sound. But, she wasn't using her armpit! She killed the light pole outside! All the other robots said, "Aunt Fanny, we were using our arms!" Rodney starts to fix old robots, and Ratchet's mean mother named Madame Gas- ket figures it out and wants Rodney to be killed. Rodney and Fender went to a ball at Bigweld Industries to tell Bigweld, but Bigweld isn't there. When Rodney tells everyone, Ratchet has him arrested, but a girl robot named Cappy saves him. Cappy takes Rodney to see Bigweld at his house. Bigweld didn't help at all at first: He told Rodney to stop dream- ing.

LEGENDS OF ROCK 'N' ROLL SANFORD Two music shows will grace the stage of the Helen Stairs The- atre in downtown Sanford this weekend. On Saturday, April 2, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. "The Legends of Rock'N' Roll" show will feature '50s music with Roy, Buddy and Elvis. Tickets are $30. On Sunday, April 3, at 2 p.m. the "Nostalgic Big Band Sound" will go on. Tickets are $15. For tickets or more information call ney needs help, Bigweld appears and tells Rodney that he wants to be just like him. Bigweld goes back to the office to fire Ratchet, but Ratchet knocks out Bigweld and sends him to Madame Gasket's Chop Shop, where the old robots are destroyed. It doesn't look good, but Piper comes through the wall with a lot of old robots who like Rodney because he fixed them. There is a big fight, and the best part of the fight is when Fender dances to Brit- ney Spears' song "Hit Me Baby One More Time" and knocks everybody over. That part was hilarious. I won't tell the ending, but Robots is about as good as the Incredibles, maybe even better! Zack Pedone, 13, says: I would give this movie two thumbs up. It poses many aspects of human life transformed into robots. The voice-overs were incredible. The digital anima- tion was extraordinary. The view over Robot City was realistic and famous musical numbers were incor- porated into the movie, like Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain." The comedy made the film a lot of fun. What will these guys think of next? a shrinking ID tag. You. write your information on the tag, which comes in a multitude of designs, put it in the oven for a few minutes where it shrinks down to pet ID size, and it is ready to be worn. You can get more information on the ID tags at www.fastags.com. Speaking of wearing, no self-respecting dog should dare stick his head out of a car window without a pair of Doggles. The protective eye- wear offers UV protection, not to mention being stylish. The goggles come in five sizes and eight colors and also have interchangeable lenses. Dog- gles also offers a line that has, a matching human style so dogs and owners can wear the same kind of glasses. Also from Doggles are wearable Ionizers for pets. The Ionizer can be hooked to most collars or even worn on a pet vest. The Ionizer, like its human counter-part, reduces airborne allergens, airborne viruses, germs and bacteria. Doggles merchandise can be found at many large pet super centers. Dogs no longer have to have a bad hair day either, thanks to John Paul Pet, the dog hair salon line from Paul Mitchell.

I ANNOUNCEMENT City of Kissimmee Fiscal Year 2005 Justice Assistance Grant DIRECT AWARD (JAG) program JAG Program Overview Proposed to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program allows states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most. JAG funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice for any one or more of the following purpose areas: Law enforcement programs Prosecution and court programs Prevention and education programs Corrections and community corrections programs Drug treatment programs Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs Funding: FY2005 State of Florida funding is $32,833,157. The JAG formula includes a state allocation consisting of a minimum base allocation with the remaining amount determined on population and' Part 1 violent crime statistics, and a direct allocation to units of local government. Once the state allocation is calculated, 60% of the funding is awarded to the state and 40% to the eligible units of local government. State allocations also have a variable pass through requirement to locals, calculated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) from each state's crime expenditures. The FY2005 JAG grand funding amount allocated to the City of Kissimmee is $47,643. Contact Information: Mary Ann Johnson Accountant I/Grants City of Kissimmee Finance Department 101 N.
