South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is in charge of how "our" water from this area is to be taken and used in the areas south of us. When there were not as many users of "our" water, supplying them was not the problem as it is today, everyone should realize that the low levels of the lakes in Highlands County is testimony that we can no longer supply the South Florida area with the water they need to exist, and it is now time for them to explore other avenues to get the water they need elsewhere. Nature is not cooperating, and supplying the amounts of water necessary to be able to share with our neighbors to the south without doing major damage to our own ecosystem is no longer possible.

In 1978, the same year that Pavarotti sang the famous duet with his father in Italy, I was privileged to sit in a master's class held for the voice majors of my university and listen to not only his massive and rich voice, but his vocal direction. A small group of us had been asked to sit under him for the day and an even smaller group had been asked to sing for him and let him critique their singing. The few very brave singers in my class that got up and sang for him had my immense awe. I sat in wonder as he answered our questions about himself. He told us about his background and his love of music. He had not had the privileged background that some of the other students in my class had, but he certainly had gone after his dream believing that he could achieve it with enough hard work. ...more
