The Palm Beach Post from West Palm Beach, Florida • Page 407

THE PALM BEACH POST WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 2004 MSL 4B Meteorological fact casts a cloud over state's motto We can point out the unemployment in the "Land of Opportunity" that is Arkansas. And announce the obvious about Rhode Island: that the state doesn't have enough coastline to be called the "Ocean State." Come to think of it, most slogans or mottoes are either grossly inaccurate, or downright wrong. The Clean Skies Initiative, according to many, eases pollution standards. No Child Left Behind? And Operation Iraqi Freedom seems to have turned into a race to be free from us. So in the big scheme of things, Florida's claim to being The Sunshine State might be overblown, but certainly of less consequence than other grand overstatements.

So maybe nobody else will notice. I won't tell if you don't. franKcerabinopbpost.com New Jersey? The alternatives aren't appealing. Florida: The Voting Wrongs State. I suppose we can go with a gloss-over-the-facts approach, and say that while there technically might be sunnier states elsewhere, it "feels sunnier" in Florida.

But it would be hard to fit that explanation on a license plate, and frankly, it seems a little lawyerly. Discredit other states' mottoes A better course might be to go on the offensive. Limit the public relations damage on Florida by attacking other state mottoes. We can question the celebrity of Idaho's potatoes. See if Montana can prove its sky is really bigger.

And convene an audit of Minnesota's alleged 10,000 lakes. I don't know about you, but I've been reeling since finding out that Florida has a dubious claim to its tide as "The Sunshine State." It turns out five other states get more sunshine, according to data compiled by the National Weather Service. "An honest assessment would call us The Partly Cloudy jsaid Jim Lushine, a forecaster with National Weather Center in Mi-jami. That'll never do. "I guess it's the way you look at lit," he said.

"Some people say IVhat's the difference between partly cloudy and partly The difference, I believe, is that cloudy part follows you to the teach and the sunny part stays jwhere you parked your car. But the number-crunching Na-'tlonal Weather Service truth is that Florida has been determined to be less sunny than Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas, he said. Nothing like clouding the Issue There's plenty of sun in Florida, but it's usually dodging between the clouds. "There's nothing wrong with clouds," Lushine said. Easy for him to say.

Clouds make his job interesting. Where would a weather guy be without clouds? Doing the traffic, that where. But nobody ever booked a vacation by telling a travel agent, "We just want to lie under the clouds for a few days." And Stevie Wonder didn't sing, "You are the cumulonimbus of my life." No other state has claimed the Frank Cerablno sun like Florida has. Technically, the sun belongs to the whole solar system, but in practice, it's an integral part of me public relations machinery for Florida. Without the blue-sky sunshine, we're like one big moldy outdoor shower stall.

So naturally, this weather data setback has huge implications, both in and out of the license-plate-making sector of our economy. And it raises the question, where do we go from here in terms of bragging rights? Humidity? Insects? People from Measure would protect unincorporated RB. County areas different from those in the west Eastern annexations tend to involve smaller pockets of unincorporated areas. "I don't think this referendum is going to address our needs," Lantana Vice Mayor Elizabeth Tennyson said. Commissioner Jeff Koons, a former West Palm Beach city commissioner, said the county should focus on protecting vast expanses of undeveloped land in the west.

"We ought to do as much as we can to protect the rural west" Koons said. Eastern city representatives, Koons said, should sit down with the county and the League to draw an annexation map. The commission voted Delray Beach, Wellington, Lantana, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Greenacres and surrounding municipalities told commissioners they opposed putting the issue on the ballot. "We can cooperatively work without having to go through the expense and trouble of going through a countywide referendum," West Palm Beach Councilman Bill Moss said. McCarty agreed, saying the cities should haye an opportunity to find a compromise.

Newell wanted the county to negotiate with the cities before deciding to put the question on the ballot City leaders argued that the annexation issues in coastal communities are Port St. Lucie.
