| Lake Hart and Lake Mary Jane Advisory Board | ||
Written By Suzanne Arnold, Concerned Citizen Opportunity for a Lake Advisory Board for Lake Hart / Lake Mary Jane All Lake Hart & Lake Mary Jane lakefront property owners and have the chance to create a Lake Board to improve and conserve the quality of our lakes. The cost will only be $75 per year per lakefront parcel – and all the money is put into a fund that can ONLY be used for lake improvement projects and ONLY for Lake Hart & Lake Mary Jane. The money will be used for things such as educational newsletters to help lakefront owners understand how to better care for their lakefront and the land adjacent to it, better weed control, small restoration projects, and better stormwater management. How did this come about? Last spring Orange County Utilities started plans to "skim" millions of gallons of water each day from Lake Hart & Lake Mary Jane. South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) would not agree to this since the water is needed for the restoration of the Everglades. Orange County decided to sue SFWMD over this matter even though our District 4 Commissioner Linda Stewart was strongly opposed lake skimming. Thanks to citizens across the county that spoke out against this - the county backed down from the suit but has asked SFWMD to look into alternative water sources for the county. SFWMD is holding monthly meetings as they create their official rules for water levels that are needed for the restoration. (So far - everything looks very good to keep the current seasonal levels as they are for our two lakes.) But homeowners on these lakes had no official say in the matter.

| Help for Preparing Your Child for the FCAT | ||
By Johnny Duncan When Dan Blanton and his wife Kim became concerned that their son, a third-grader, was struggling with reading, they turned to his teacher at Stone Lakes Elementary School, Jennifer Wojcik, who shared some valuable information that would help the Blanton’s child learn to read better. After that initial meeting, the Blantons learned that Wojcik’s credentials and her approach to getting her students ready for the FCAT were extraordinary. As owners of a multimedia development and CD/DVD duplication company, the Blantons saw an opportunity to take Wojcik’s knowledge and approach to teaching, and help other parents. They found there was a gap in getting students ready for the FCAT and they determined the biggest challenge is getting educators, parents and students on the same page. more » |
