Soggy weather lifts South Florida out of drought
Monday, October 13, 2008
WEST PALM BEACH — The drought is dead.
"Tropical Storm Fay put the bullet in the drought," said Geoff Shaughnessy, a meteorologist with the South Florida Water Management District. "The rains we had this weekend and since Tropical Storm Fay finished it off."
The largest boost in the current June 1-to-Oct. 31 rainy season is in western Palm Beach County, the area west of Lion Country Safari and west of Jupiter Farms in north county and all of Martin and St. Lucie counties. This weekend's 1/2-inch downpour increased the 2008 rainy season output to about 38 inches, about 9 inches above normal.
Normally, South Florida gets about 63 inches of rainfall every year. Western Palm Beach County, already at 53 inches, is ahead of the normal pace to reach that total. Eastern Palm Beach County is running about average, and so is the rest of the 16-county water management district area.
The chance for rain drops to 20 percent tonight in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. Afternoon showers are possible Tuesday, and the rest of the week is expected to be dry. Winds should be gusty to about 20 miles per hour and skies should be less cloudy starting Wednesday and through the week, said Evelyn Rivera, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
"Humidity will stay high because the wind is coming from the east, bringing in the moisture from the ocean," Rivera said.

Falling gas prices welcome surprise
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Thursday, October 09, 2008
Is the 401(k) crashing? Bank taken over by another bank? Can't even get a car thief to take that SUV off your hands?
Cheer up: Gas prices are dropping faster than the Dow Jones industrial average.
After peaking at $4.18 this summer, the average price for a gallon of regular in West Palm Beach had dropped to $3.54 on Thursday. In the past week alone, prices fell an average of 20 cents.
And they're still falling, in some cases by the hour.
Bob Palmer, an electrical contractor from Wellington, was ready to spread the good news.
"I can't wait to tell my friends," he said from the cab of his Ford F-150 at the Florida Gardens Sunoco in suburban Lake Worth. "It was costing me over $90 to fill up. This will cost me $75."

Planting Seeds of DisasterACORN
By Stanley Kurtz
‘You’ve got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank. Your job pays you dog-food wages. Your credit history has been bent, stapled, and mutilated. You declared bankruptcy in 1989. Don’t despair: You can still buy a house.” So began an April 1995 article in the Chicago Sun-Times that went on to direct prospective home-buyers fitting this profile to a group of far-left “community organizers” called ACORN, for assistance. In retrospect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness.
Militant ACORN
At the time, however, that 1995 Chicago newspaper article represented something of a triumph for Barack Obama. That same year, as a director at Chicago’s Woods Fund, Obama was successfully pushing for a major expansion of assistance to ACORN, and sending still more money ACORN’s way from his post as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Through both funding and personal-leadership training, Obama supported ACORN. And ACORN, far more than we’ve recognized up to now, had a major role in precipitating the subprime crisis.

Snook Islands....
The area where the holes were has very poor water quality, with sludge in the bottom from years of discharges from the Palm Beach Canal (C-51) which drains the sugar fields to the west and urban development along the way. While engineers try to sort out ways to fix the problem, Palm Beach County, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), the City of Lake Worth, and the Federal Inland Navigation District (FIND) have figured out a way to increase wildlife habitat and clean up the water.

Legends about Luther: Nailing the 95 Theses to the Door of the Castle Church
Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg with hammer strokes which echoed throughout all of Europe. This act has been portrayed numerous times thoughout the centuries, and until the 21st century it was accepted as fact. It has become a symbol of the Reformation as nothing else has.
It was like a slap in the face when the catholic Luther researcher, Erwin Iserloh, asserted in 1961 that the nailing of the theses to the door of the Castle Church belonged to the realm of legends.
The facts are convincing, the first written account of the event comes from Philipp Melanchthon who could not have been an eye-witness to the event since he was not called to Wittenberg University as a professor until 1518.
Also, this account appeared for the first time after Luther's death and he never commented on 'nailing anything up' in 1517.
Announcements of upcoming disputes were supposedly regularly hung on the door of the Castle Church. But, openly hanging the theses without waiting for a reaction from the Bishops could have been seen as a clear provocation of his superiors. Luther would not have done that because he only wanted to clear up some misunderstandings.
It is also worth noting, that there was no open discussion of the theses in Wittenberg and that no original printing of the theses could be found.
One thing is sure: Luther wrote a letter to his superiors on October 31, 1517 in which he denounced the sale of indulgence and asked for repayment and removal of the misunderstandings. With the letter he included 95 theses which were to be the basis for a discussion on the topic.
Today, the majority of Luther researchers see it as fact, that Luther did not nail his theses to the door of the Castle Church on that day. But the picture of Luther nailing the theses to the door of the church is still today the most common in regards to Luther, the reformation and Lutherstadt Wittenberg.

Capt. Sparky Uses Camera to Intimidate......
From "Mothrship" Media posted by Admin
If you questioned if he used his camera as a political weapon this latest action leaves no doubt. What this action shows is that when the "Facts," according to Capt. Sparky, fail attack private citizens. If "Capt. Sparky" is this careless with something as trivial as to who the author of this blog is then what about the big stuff? Do they fudge that kind of research as well? We would like to note only one person in the photo, Wes Blackman, is on a board. All the others are concerned residents at a city meeting.
Why let proof get in the way of a good rumor?
Apparently all the "Mothership" needs is circumstantial evidence to make a case!
"Mothership" Media is nothing more than a mouth piece for Lake Worth's most radical residents. A political tool used to further one mans ego and agenda. When anyone, including us, presents an alternate view point they use character assignation, rumors, and misinformation to confuse the public. Lake Worth's original smut peddler finally shows his true colors!
We ask you to be the judge: News Site or B.S. Machine? Are they about getting good information out or attacking anyone with a another point of view?

Verela for City Veterinarian-at-Large
Let's see, what are the planks of the Verela platform? Economic Security - something akin to $700 Billion in bail-outs - now that would make us all secure - that along with "tax fairness?" "Enact an Environmental Vision" - Wow Rene, don't walk too far out on that plank! That's downright dangerous to talk about having a "vision" and "enacting" it. We're speechless in anticipation! "Protect and Respectfully Serve all of Our Residents" - Verela: "Watch your step Mrs. Smith. Can I help you with your bullet proof vest? It looks a little tight."
Blah, blah, blah - this guy's got the platitudes and the politicianspeak down, that's for sure.
OOOOOH! Looky kids - we've got all these achievements! Key among those is his work as a Marine Mammal Veternarian and Scientist, with his wife acting selflessly as an Emergency Crtical Care Veternarian.
WE can see it now - City Hall opens as a free veterinary clinic - paid with your tax dollars. Classes on the lastest parasites (the cabal comes to mind), Rene and his wife dressed in white (stethoscopes around the neck), tending to the sick animals on the lawn of City Hall, Commissioner Jennings carrying the water picther in the style of Florence Nightingale, Commissioner Golden working the rosary over a beached whale (DD or JMc?). What a lovely sight!
GAG!!!!
"Mothership" Continues Biased Reporting...
That's right 2 MILLION Dollar Savings for the city.
Capt. Sparky and his crew were wrong about the costs of the Sheriff contract! They continue to complain about city mismanagement and over spend hoping that no one will notice. Go figure it's cheaper to insure the city without a police department. Net savings of adding PBSO and dropping the LWPD around 1 Million!
We guess the PBSO contract won't bankrupt the city this year!
God only knows that this bunch of self proclaimed experts won't ever admit it. What's a "know-it-all" to do? Go silent of course. Dig your head into the sand and wait. SOP for the "Mothership!" We guess the city saving money doesn't fit their extremist PAC supported agenda!
We wonder what other issues they have missed the mark on? All those decades of media experience seem to be falling short of reality!
West Palm Water, Maybe?

Rene Varela Report.....
His Personal Investment into the Race:
The first $3,000 was a loan from Varela to his campaign. Then another 6 in-kind contributions totaling $744.23 and a check for $500.00. His personal investment into the campaign totals $4,244.23.
Wow!
Out of Town Money:
Rene Varela received another $1,388.35 which is roughly 20% of the total. We note that a thousand came from one address in Port. St.Lucie, Florida.
More money and services came from Rene or outside interest than from the city of Lake Worth. Again, we find this alarming since Dr. Varela has only lived in Lake Worth for little over a year. The total is a whopping $5632.58 or 78% of the total.
Other Notables:
Rene received money from the chairman of Citizens Come First PAC, Laurence McNamara, and Treasure, Lynn Anderson, (http://citizenscomefirst.blogspot.com/) totaling $285.64. (2 in-kind and 3 checks).
A letter to the Post by an Exteremist....
The three votes against the Ethics Reform Ordinance proposed by Lake Worth City Commissioner Cara Jennings indicate the continued addictions of commissioners Retha Lowe and David Vespo and Mayor Jeff Clemens to $500 out-of-town contributions from developers and others who want to pay to play in Lake Worth.
Commissioner Lowe said she wanted to hear how the residents felt before she voted for it, yet her record indicates she votes against the expressed feelings of the residents on important issues such as giving up control of the beach.
Mayor Clemens said he would like to vote for ethics reform but worried about "politicians sitting on a dais making an ordinance to regulate contributions." Politicians are elected to make ordinances, but he apparently does not want to jeopardize his contributions.
Finally, Commissioner Vespo said this ordinance was proposed by Commissioner Jennings because she won't get business contributions and he needs to get a third lawyer's opinion before passing it. Commissioner Vespo has received countless out-of-town contributions from developers and their shell corporations and faces a reelection campaign against two challengers who are more qualified.
Commissioners Jennings and Jo-Ann Golden voted for a clean, honest government in Lake Worth; Commissioners Vespo and Lowe and Mayor Clemens showed their comfort with the pay-to-play status quo.

Lindsey Takes Thousands from Unions and more....
Mary Lidsey and her treasure, Colleen Rinaldi, racked up the highest total for any campaign. They reported that between June 1, and September 12, 2008 that Mary Lindsey's Campaign had received $10,849.19.
So where did the money come from? After reviewing her report we found that Mary received at least $3000 or almost 30% of the total from Labor Unions that do business with the city. No wonder she was silent during the ethics debate Tuesday night.
Fire total......................$1000
Palm Beach County FirePac and FireFighter FactPac
Police............................$1,500
Fraternal Order of Police, Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association and Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Political Committee and Issues Association

Another "Poor Me" article about John G's in today's Palm Beach Post!
We point to this line from the article:
" They don't take reservations or credit cards."
Why would you take cerdit cards? Makes hiding profits far easier. The article also points out
"John G's has lines that stretch around the corner on weekends."
If people knew how big that cash cow their tax dollars have been subsidizing for the past 35 years was they would be outraged. How much has the city lost by not charging a fair market rate for that space? Rents in our downtown are far higher and are no where near a beach front view.
Any commissioner who votes to support John G's move with tax dollars should be voted out of office. (Jeff!)
The article falls short by not pointing out that John G's has giving money to the PACs that have filled suite against the Beach and stalled the redevelopment plans. Johnny G you can't have your cake and eat it too. The bottom line it's in their financial best interest to keep things the same.
Stop special interest groups from slowing progress in this city!

Hypocrisy Has Hit a New High.....
Where was Mary Lindsey? The normally out spoken candidate did not speak on this issue! We are sure her 1st campaign reports will reveal that she has taken thousands in Union Dollars and PAC money something that she has criticized others for in the past. When she ran for Mayor, just last year, she criticized other candidates for doing the same. Lindsey is rarely seen in public these days without a Police or Fire Union rep in tow.
Evidence of Lindsey deep pockets can been seen downtown. She as bought ad space from street sign outdoor. These sign are NOT CHEAP. It would seem that she is having difficulty getting people to display her yard signs. Ron Exline also used these sign last year when he had issue with getting his yard signs up and wanted to increase coverage. We could only find three Lindsey signs in town. (Gulfstream Hotel, Sabal Palm Inn, and McMow Art Glass)
Mary Lindsey is a tool for the old guard business interests, for now, that are as much of an anchor on this community as Cara and her extremist!
More than likely Lindsey will pull a Clemens, if elected, and abandon her supporters for her own radical agenda.
Once again, the Ethics ordnance was a political attack! It was poorly designed and did not encompass a large enough scope. A citizen "Blue Ribbon Panel", as suggested by Com. Lowe, should be established to tackle this problem.

Proof Positive....
Is she playing politics? You be the judge.........
Lake Worth Commissioner authors the only known pay to play ethics ordinance in Florida set for a City Commission vote; watchdog groups monitoring
Press Releases
Lake Worth FL - September 14, 2008 - Commissioner Cara Jennings has authored and introduced a new anti-pay-to-play ethics ordinance for approval by the Lake Worth City Commission. On Tuesday at 6:00PM, the Commission will vote on the only known ordinance of its kind in Florida that prohibits donations to political campaigns by individuals or corporate entities that have, or will have, projects coming before the Commission for approval. The Florida Attorney General has reviewed the ordinance without comment; the Lake Worth City Attorney confirms that it is not pre-empted by State statutes.
“Watchdog groups throughout Florida are monitoring this vote. Public corruption would be greatly lessened if governmental bodies were to enact more stringent ethical standards for both those seeking election and those already in office. The recent convictions of two PB County Commissioners and two WPB City Commissioners for criminal usage of their official positions, has prompted me to author and introduce this precedent setting anti-pay-to-play ethics ordinance ever to reach a City Commission for approval. In my opinion, it will keep the contributions from out-of-town developers and the multiple $500 contributions from their shadow corporations from having an improper, corrupting influence on the votes of those candidates whose Commission seats they have financed.”

Anti-'Pay-to-play' law proposed for Lake Worth....
We believe that campaign reform is a priority for the city of Lake Worth but disagree with Cara using the idea as a political weapon.
Any real reform can only come from a panel of residents committed to reforming government and not from a commissioner who is up for re-election this November. Lake Worth needs to establish a panel that would make compressive changes to the election process and not a plan that favors extremist, who rely on man power and not money.
Her plan would also increase the power of PACs (Political Action Committees) within the city. Now that business would be afraid to support candidates directly they will simply give money to political groups that support their positions or candidates. This would make it far harder to track contributions to candidates. This does not solve the problem at all. It would actually make the situation worse.
We ask the other commissioners to call for a citizen task force to review the election progress and deliver its findings by March and, with luck, the city could implement them in time for the 2009 election cycle.

Why we need PBSO....
Criminals don't only commit crimes in our city, they live among us, committing crimes all over our community and the county.
The 2007 Crime Stats show that Lake Worth is running at 30 murders per 100,000 taking second place behind Riviera Beach, which had 35 murders per 100,000. West Palm Beach for example is running at 11.8 murders per 100,000. Lake Worth also was home to the 3rd highest violent crime rate. The honors for 1st and 2nd go to Belle Glade and Riviera Beach.
Who would invest in a community with these kinds of serious problems! Don't worry! Commissioner Golden going to make sure all the kids on horses wear helmets and Commissioner Jennings got the city to pass an Anti-War Proclamation. It's great to see both these commissioners have their priorities in order.

More Quality Reporting from Capt. Sparky....
"In fact, the emails show that staff has known about these figures for well over a month but has kept them from the public and the commission. My belief is, that they intend to get the budget approved; invest as much money as possible as quickly as possible into the county system and then if the truth comes out, it's far less likely the city will get out of the contract. Besides, the staff members that facilitated these phony comparisons on the night of April 15th probably will be long gone by the time we get the bill for their actions. For now, they are probably hoping that no one notices or studies the figures carefully (pay attention Mr Vespo)."
How can you possibly call yourself a reporter or a media oulet when you threaten candidates and officials you disagree with in your story!

Brandon Lynch a Hero....
Mr. Lynnch you should be prepared for a complete character assassination from Capt. Sparky! He must be "right" 1000% of the time. "Lt. Dutch Boy" and other disciples of Capt. Sparky will stop at nothing to defend their leader. The embattled "Mothership" is like a wounded animal who's action will only become more violent and erratic as their extremist and biased reporting is exposed.
Brandon Lynch's comments are why the commission needs to establish a media policy. Brandon showed more leadership ability last night than anyone currently on the commission. His comments demonstrated the need to set a side space in the rear of the chamber for film crews. We suggest the commissions contact the county about their media policy!

"Mothership" Media's Black Box...
What a revelation! Lake Worth's city staff sucks.
In the discussion of the results Capt. Sparky shows, again, that he is an expect in everything. And we quote:
"The Democracy Project is one of the great experiments in American democracy"
Aren't we just full of our self. Maybe, you could make that statement if 24,000 people voted not 24! He even went as far as to use control questions. What a joke! When do you need control questions for a 24 person survey? Yes, a simple survey of site users. Come on!
We would also just love to see Ballots 1-33. (Just more of the same we guess.)
We bet we could name the 24 voters. Can you?
Com. Cara Jennings Locked Door...
Lake Worth FL - August 20, 2008 - Cara Jennings, Commissioner District 2, City of Lake Worth, announces her campaign for re-election. ...cara.pixpeep.com/ - 12k - Cached - Similar pages - Note this
http://www.carajennings.com/ also has the same locked door.
Very weird stuff.......
What the Hell....
Note:
The complete lack of disclaimer on the "Vote for Cara" Widget
We also question the legality of having a commission candidate's website on a Political Parties website for a nonpartisan race. It seems like an endorsement......Weird!

"MotherShip" Media Spin Machine...
Candidate for District 2, Mary Lindsey, has posted another long winded statement on her position on the center. (Read More) She seems to be riding "Toga Boy's" coat tales on the issue with a touch of John Jordan's wackiness for good measure. If Lindsey doesn't find away to separate her views from Jordan, learn to control her emotions, and long winded statements Jennings will win in November hands down.
Commissioner Dave Vespo released a YouTube video of his position on the issue. He and Commissioner Retha Lowe both voted against the center in the past.
We are also looking forward to the "Black Box" voting both. We wonder what the results will be? Democracy "Media" style we are sure.............

JUDGE UPHOLDS PETITION DEADLINE
(ORLANDO, FL - August 29, 2008)
US District Judge Stephen Mickle today told the lawyers running the so-called "Hometown Democracy" campaign that he would not overturn state constitutional requirements in order to put their amendment on the November, 2008 ballot.
"Hometown Democracy failed with the voters and failed in the courts," said Ryan Houck, Executive Director for Floridians for Smarter Growth. "This is a win for the people of Florida who have already said 'no thanks' to this proposal three election cycles in a row."
In June, the lawyers running Hometown Democracy filed a lawsuit in federal court in an attempt to get around petition requirements that groups must meet in order for their proposals to be placed on the ballot. In part, their lawsuit sought to overturn the February 1st petition deadline, which was approved by the voters in 2004.
"On one hand, they claim that they want to empower voters by giving them the final say... On the other hand, they mounted a legal freak show to try to overturn a voter-approved petition deadline," said Houck. "Their hypocrisy knows no bounds."
Hometown Democracy's desperate lawsuit also alleged that a number of federally protected rights had been violated. The court ruled that no constitutional due process or equal protection rights were violated.
Hometown Democracy can still have its issue placed on the November 2010 ballot if it is able to submit the required number of signatures. That number will be 8 percent of the total number of voters who cast ballots in the upcoming presidential election. Initiative campaigns - like Hometown Democracy - must reach that 8 percent threshold in at least half of Florida's 25 congressional districts.
Floridians for Smarter Growth is a statewide coalition of business and community groups united to defeat Hometown Democracy because of the devastating impact it would have on Florida's economy and quality-of-life.

"Mothership" Needs a Maid...
Capt. Sparky rule #1 of video production is to shoot in a suitable location! The cargo hold would not be one of them. Clean up the foreground at least! Better yet, next time use the toilet. It's where we went to vomit after viewing that garbage.
GET A MAID!
