Presidents reportHello all,

Another rainy day as I sit here and compose this

message. Many changes have been happening

with the chapter. We have moved our meeting

place to Anthonys on the Boulevard and our first

meeting there went well. We have a new Vice

President, Burnout Bob Penn, who has stepped

up to fill this position. I look forward to working

with Burnout as he has been very helpful in keep-

ing the chapter involved with the community and

instrumental in signing new advertisers. ThanksBurnout. We continue to sign new members and

our chapter is growing again. We won the Chap-

ter with Most Growth for June thanks to the con-

tinued efforts of several members who continue

to set up tables at bike nights and events around

the area. I want to thank Birdie and Smokey for

their undying efforts to maintain our MSAP pro-

gram in the schools. Not only do they teach

awareness in the classroom, they also take time

to train future instructors. I want to also thank

Brett Shea, Heidi Hill and Darrin Kerwin of Ca-

loosahatchee and Burnout Bob Penn for taking

the time to come out and attend these classes.

Each of these individuals have taught classes and

are ready to help promote Motorcycle Safety and

Awareness as we move forward. While Im on

that subject, I am concerned about our future.

Every day I see or read about someone involved

in what some may call an accident when I would

refer to what is more a crash. Accidents happen

yet crashes can be avoided.

More and more I see people

riding around texting and talk-

ing on cell phones. Every day on

my scooter there is a near miss.

I am diligent and very aware of

my surroundings while operat-

ing any type of motor vehicle. I

cant say the same for those

who share the road with me.

ABATE needs your help. As the

4th

largest MRO in the country,

are we really getting our mes-

sage out there? We fought tokeep helmets off our heads yet we cant pass a

stiffer penalties bill. With over 1 million motorcy-

cle endorsements in this state and over 20,000 in

Lee County, why is it there are only approxi-

mately 7,000 members of ABATE OF FLORIDA? I

am asking the sport bike community to band to-

gether with us and help keep our roads safe. Not

only for us, but for our future generations. We

get clobbered by the media and we hate it. Let

our voices be heard over our pipes and lets nottake this lying down. Help yourself by being

heard. An accident can happen, but a crash is due

to someones reckless actions, whether its cell

phone use, alcohol or drugs or even perhaps a

heated argument while driving. Stop the abuse

and pay attention to the task at hand. Thats my

rant for this month. Let me know how I can help

you. If I may quote a wise man and friend, Jay

Anderson, Stay Alive, Just Drive. My suggestion

this month, save the phone conversation and the

texting until you reach your destination and see

how much more you get out of talking to some-

one face to face. Remember when we used to do

that?

Have a good month and stay dry

Wayne Cerra

Please Call!

Many times, we are finding out, after-the-fact, about the accidents, stress factors,

crisis situations, deaths, critical incidents,

etc... directly involving our fellow ABATE

brothers and sisters. Sometimes, we don't

hear anything until months after some sig-

nificant life-altering event has taken place.

Sometimes, we will be at a food or drink

stop, on a Run. And, someone will come

up to us and ask, "Didn't you know that Iwas involved in a serious accident, three

months ago?" Or, "Didn't you know that I

was in the hospital?" Or, "Didn't you

know that my husband (or wife) died?"

All too often, one will assume that some-

one else contacted us.

We really don't know these things, unless

that person and/or someone else lets us

know.

We are blessed and honored to be your

Chaplains and want to serve you with

spiritual care, when asked and/or re-

quested. We are fully licensed Ministers

within our denomination and are also,fully endorsed Chaplains.

We've been called at 2 or 3 o'clock in the

morning by you, when you've been t-

boned by a cager and have been admitted

to the Trauma Unit or have had some seri-

ous stitching up to be done in the E.R..

And, we've responded and been there

within minutes of the call. We've done fu

nerals at your favorite drinking establish-ments and even commitment at sea. We've

been there for the happier and fun times o

marriages, weddings, baby dedications,

bike and biker blessings, Biker Bible Ca-

fs, Lee County Church Crashes, and

ABATE Chapter and 5 Star events, etc...

Our intentions are to be there but, not be

intrusive. It's understood that some want

nothing to do with members of the clergy.

And, we respect that.

So, please give us a call. If we are out-of-

town and/or unavailable, we can usually

locate another clergy member of Messiah'

Messengers to respond.

Thank you and many blessings,

Tom and Kathy

LEGISLATIVE REPORTSeptember 2011Good Morning Freedom Fighters:

From ABATE of Florida, Inc.David Lockdown Rich

PRESS RELEASE

Motorist Going to Court After Hitting BikerAlachua County, FL, July 29, 2011 On August 9, 2010,ABATE of Florida, Inc. Life Member Jeff Burrow was rid-ing his Kawasaki Z1000 motorcycle through AlachuaCounty, FL. He didnt see the Hyundai Sonata cross intohis path until it was too late. Amanda J. Skadhauge ofOcala, FL had decided to take a left turn, possibly notrealizing that Jeff was already in the intersection. Afterlanding a distance from the actual crash site, Jeff wastransported to a Trauma Center to deal with the brainswelling, severe concussions, sprains, severe contusionsin numerous places throughout his body, torn ligaments,and bruised organs. Three of the four days of his staythere the doctors kept him unconscious to help his bodydeal with the brain swelling.

Incredibly, Jeff Burrow survived this traumatic crash. On Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 9 AM Ms. Skadhaugewill be standing in front of the Court at the AlachuaCounty Courthouse, Family and Civil Justice Center,Room 1A (201 East University Ave. Gainesville, Florida,32601). Shes been cited with Failing to Yield to Oncom-ing Traffic (while taking a left turn) and currently faces aSIXTY-TWO DOLLAR FINE. To date, the court costs of$92 exceed the penalty, literally adding insult to the in-jury.Motorcyclists and concerned citizenry are asked to attendthis hearing on August 4, 2011 to let the Court know thatthe motorcyclists in Florida are paying attention to whathappens in matters such as this, and that vehicle drivers

must be reminded in every possible way to look out forthe motorcycles sharing the Florida roadways. ContactABATE of Florida, Inc.s Alachua County Chapter Presi-dent Jeff Longanecker at [email protected] or352-226-0703 for more information.

FL State Representative & Two JudgesHelping Bikers KillerLake County, FL, August 16, 2011 The friends andfamily of Mount Dora, FLs Herbert "Steve" Muller had tobear terrible news when learning that he had been killedin a crash. His death was a result of a crash allegedlycaused by Lake County civic leader Bruce Duncan asMuller was riding his motorcycle back from Biketoberfeston October 17, 2009.

The Florida Highway Patrol reported that Duncan wasattempting to make a left turn, crossed into the motorcy-cles path, and hit the left side of Mullers bike. FHP alsoreported finding a empty bottle of vodka in Duncanstruck as well as his Blood Alcohol Level being twice thelegal limit.Now, almost two years later, it seems that Mullersfriends and family have to bear even more distressingnews, this time an obvious slap in the face. According tothe Orlando Sentinel (8/7/11), Florida State Representa-

tive H. Marlene O'Toole (R-Lady Lake), Circuit Judges G.Richard Singeltary and T. Michael Johnson, President ofLake-Sumter Community College Dr. Charles Mojock,Tavares City Administrator John Drury, Executive Direc-tor of Lake EMS Jim Judge and fourteen other commu-nity leaders are listed as defense witnesses in the up-coming hearing.After not being able to previously reach a plea agreementin his DUI Manslaughter case, it is believed that Duncan

will plead No Contest or Guilty at the hearing. His at-torneys will most likely then have all 20 witnesses speakon behalf of Duncans character. Their goal would be toshow that the fatal crash was "an isolated incident forwhich [Duncan] has shown remorse" and ask the judge toimpose a sentence more lenient than established statesentencing guidelines which call for 9 to 15 years forallegedly taking Mullens life.Being one of the top Motorcyclists Rights Organizations,ABATE of Florida feels the pending testimony by theseelected and appointed officials is nothing other than atotal abuse of their positions. Members of Floridas Legis-lature, judges, town officials, and other government offi-cials are all put into their occupations to work in the bestinterest of taxpayers, not to defend the actions of a per-

sonal friend that got drunk, made the wrong decision todrive his truck, and allegedly cause a crash that killed abiker.ABATE of Florida, Inc.s Lake County Chapter will be atthis Sentencing Hearing in mass. The hearing will be heldSeptember 19, 2011 8:30 am at the 5th Judicial CircuitCourt located at 550 W. Main St. Tavares, FL. ContactLake County Chapter President Casey Staley at 407-469-2455 [email protected] for ad-ditional information or to be part of the group ride tothe hearing.

ABATE Chapters Help Build House forWounded U.S. Veteran

St. Augustine, FL, August 25, 2011 ABATE of Florida,Inc. Vintage Chapter members showed up in force lastweekend to help build a new house for one of America'sheroes. The home is being donated to Cpl.

ARGENZIANO PLANNING A RUN FOR CONGRESS"

I was skimming the new stories and this one caught myeye because it contained the word "motorcycle". This isnot meant to be either "pro or con" for this candidate , justfor your information.Taken from the News Service Florida story Titled"ARGENZIANO PLANNING A RUN FOR CONGRESS""Former Republican state Sen. Nancy Argenziano saidMonday she is prepared to run as a Democrat for theseat now held by U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla....Argenziano has long been known as something of amaverick, even when she was a Republican in the Sen-ate, and before that in the House. A single mom, and afull-time legislatorwho wore leather and rode a motor-cycle, ..."It looks like she plans to run for the 2nd District Congres-sional Seat up in the Panama City / Tallahassee area.

SCOTT TO HAVE PIP PROPOSAL SOON

Gov. Rick Scott said Monday that he will make a pro-posal soon on personal injury protection auto insurancecoverage, but was less adamant about eliminating therequirement than he was last week. "We're going tocome out with a proposal," on PIP, Scott said Mondaywhile speaking with reporters at the Capitol. Asked if hefavored eliminating the requirement that motorists buyPIP coverage, as he said he did last week, Scott hedgeda bit. "We're looking at it," he said. Last week Scott sug-gested the requirement for having $10,000 worth of PIPcoverage should be eliminated, and a spokesman elabo-rated, saying that Scott favored giving motorists thatchoice.Vehicle Registrations by County

Also known as the Con-sumer Product Safety Commission Im-provement Act (CPSCIA), this bill ad-dresses a number of issues; but first andforemost is the language to fix the leadlaw.

HR 2715 specifically addresses the issueof youth motorcycles, other off road vehi-cles, and snowmobiles, effectively ex-empting them from the lead certificationrules.

Cape Coral hopefuls visit with voters at fo-rum

More than 200 people came Tuesday tofocus on candidates for the Sept. 13 CapeCoral City Council primary.

"They have a great group of people tochose from. This gave me a chance to see howthey think," said resident Chuck Hostetler. Hesaid he was undecided about who he'll vote for

and he wants to hear more about the city's utili-ties expansion program from the candidates.Candidates were given a series of ques-

tions by the Cape Coral Civic Association at theCape Coral Yacht Club. Sixteen of the 18 can-didates attended. Incumbent District 2 Council-man Pete Brandt and District 2 opponent DanSheppard did not participate.

District 2 contenders John Carioscia andJoe Coviello differed on the use of incentivepay.

"Incentives need be created for work

above and beyond the call of duty," Coviellosaid. They should not be used to reward per-formance for a core job responsibility, he said.

"I am totally against incentive pay,"Carioscia said. "The job and the pay is the in-centive. Incentive pay has no space in govern-ment employment."

In District 3, the candidates were askedabout the state of code enforcement.

"This city isn't as neat as it used to be.I'm seeing a lot of lots that have been going un-mowed for a long time. Your appearance has

an affect on people who visit this city," AlanSheppard said. Maybe the police departmentshould take over code enforcement, he said.

"They are understaffed," Councilman BillDeile said. But the police should focus on corepolice duties, Deile said.

The public underestimates what codeenforcement does for the city and the agency

deserves the public's support, said LennyNesta.

District 5 candidates commented on thecity's debt.

"We have to look at options to diversifythe tax base," Scott Morris said.

"This city is still growing," CharlesStanton said. "Compare our debt to the national

debt and I think we're doing OK."Carlos Alvarez warned the audience to

be wary of the term revenue diversification. Itmeans higher taxes and higher fees, he said.

"My idea is to increase the revenuestream so (the) city can get money coming infrom somewhere else besides the taxpayers,"Bennie Barnes said.

Candidate Rana Erbrick explained thedifference between debt for the general fundand for enterprise funds such as utilities.

About 25 percent of the city's debt is forthe general fund and its size is not bad, RichardLeon said.

"You don't buy a house with cash. Ifwe're financing operations with debt that's aproblem. That's called California," JamesMcManus said.

District 7 candidates tried to carve outdifferent positions on flyovers on VeteransParkway.

Flyovers would injure businesses, incum-bent Derrick Donnell said. It was prudent to ta-ble them indefinitely.

"We're looking for business growth," saidMichael Garr. Businesses would lose custom-ers who live in the city, he said.

"If it gets to (the) point traffic gets backedup a considerable amount, I'm openmindedenough to look at it down the road," DavidStokes said.

"We don't want to see flyovers impactingbusinesses negatively," Erica Warren said. "It'simportant for our city council have open com-munication with Lee County."

Lee County Property Appraiser Ken Wil-kinson picked up a Republican primary oppo-nent, as Cape Coral resident Bertrand Pepperfiled papers to start raising money for nextyears election.

Pepper said he owns his own real estateappraisal firm and has been licensed in thebusiness since 2003. A Lee County resident

since 1990, he said he has a lot of ideas andchanges for the office, but further discussion ofthose matters will come later.

Wilkinson, who was first elected in 1980,joked he thinks every day about whether toseek re-election, although his plan is to run foranother term. But he likely wont file papers until

January, he said.Another incumbent whos waiting to file

is Lee County School Board member JeanneDozier. Dozier also has an early opponent, andtheres been confusion between her and boardmember Jane Kuckel, whos said she will notrun.

Dozier said she intends to run for re-election to the nonpartisan seat but will wait afew months before initiating the paperwork

Another challenger, meanwhile, has filedpapers but does not want to talk about it.

Joseph Asher Davidow, a Naples attor-ney and Republican, returned a call this weekto say yes, hes serious about running for thepost now held by U.S. Rep. Connie Mack IV, R-Fort Myers. But he refused to answer other

questions about the race, saying hell unveilmore information later.

On the presidential trail: state Sen. MikeBennett, R-Bradenton, whose district includespart of Lee County, said this week hes endors-ing Mitt Romney as GOP nominee.

Meanwhile, Tim Pawlentys announce-

ment hes out of the presidential race left sev-eral top legislative leaders whod endorsed himup for grabs.

Expect endorsements to pick up beforeFloridas Republican Presidency 5 straw pollwith more than 3,000 activists in late Septem-ber.

Romney and another recent headliner,Michele Bachmann, have said they will not par-ticipate in the poll, although their names will ap-pear on the ballot. Early odds favor Romney,who has a Florida organization and a support

network from his presidential bid four year ago.Bachmann and Rick Perry, meanwhile, arestarting from scratch.

SUPPORTCHAPTER EVENTS

FYIA bill that requires that juries consider the cause of theaccident when determining who to hold responsible forenhanced injuries caused by car defects was signed byGov. Rick Scott on Thursday. The bill (SB 142) washeavily lobbied for by Ford Motor Co. and other car mak-

ers who argued that without it, jurors were not given a fullpicture of what happened in an accident. But groups l ikethe Florida Justice Association, which represents triallawyers, said jurors will be swayed by emotional, irrele-vant testimony that is unrelated to the enhanced injuriescaused by defects in the car. The new law effectivelyreverses a Florida Supreme Court decision calledDAmario v. Ford and was closely watched by the legalcommunity.Scribe's Comments: Recently, my State Senator GarrettRichter, explained this new law in a way that may help usin court when a motorcyclist is killed by the fault of a ve-

hicle driver. Sen. Richter says that in the past the jury

would only hear that "The airbag in Joe's car did not fullydeploy when his car hit the telephone pole resulting inJoe's untimely and unnecessary death!"With this new law the jury will be able to get more infor-mation and can now hear, "Joe had a blood alcohol level

3 times the legal limit and was traveling at over 90 mphon a two lane winding road at night. Due to his alcohollevel and rate of speed Joe crossed the center line forc-ing an on coming car / motorcycle to swerve into a ditchkilling the driver / rider. At that point Joe missed thecurve and his car hit the telephone pole with such forcethat it shattered the pole causing it to land on top of Joe'scar and crushing his skull."This law can help us when the driver who hits and kills amotorcyclist is either a repeat offender of running stopsigns, failure to yield, or was doing something shortlybefore that ended up causing the crash.
