The Charlotte County Commission approved Thursday turning a county-owned tract between Interstate 75 and the Charlotte County Jail to the east into a village for displaced residents, said Wayne Sallade, the county�s emergency management director. MASSIVE CLEANUP EFFORTS FROM CHARLEY CONTINUING In what some Southwest Floridians once used to call home, chunks of twisted metal, splintering lumber and molding furniture now make up for the millions of cubic yards of storm-related waste being collected in several counties. In Charlotte County alone, Ash Britt, a company hired to collect storm-related waste, has collected about 300,000 cubic yards of debris since Hurricane Charlie hit two weeks ago. AC/DC SINGER, BASSIST TO LEAD RED CROSS BENEFIT EVENT In the days after Hurricane Charley, Germain Arena served as home to those displaced by the storm. On Sept. 10, the arena will give back more much-needed relief. Members of the seminal hard-rock band AC/DC and a former lead singer of Bad Company will headline a benefit concert that could bring in more than $100,000 for the American Red Cross and its efforts to help replace the things Charley blew away. STUDY: RECREATIONAL FISHERS HAVE GREATER IMPACT ON FISH COUNTS Long considered of negligible impact, U.S. recreational fishers may be responsible for landing nearly 25 percent of overfished salt water species, a Florida State University study released Thursday suggests. Citing federal data from the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. Pacific Coast, researchers say the impact of 10 million U.S. recreational anglers is far more significant than previously thought. Leading commercial fishing opponents, however, called the study�s conclusion ludicrous. Get details on all these stories and more at http://www.marconews.com IN PERSPECTIVE: DAN K. THOMASSON: THE BUCK STOPS AT THE TOP >From the outset it has been obvious that the responsibility for the Abu Ghraib prison >scandal was not solely that of a handful of sadistic, misguided guards. If Harry >Truman�s oft-quoted admonition about where the buck stops has any relevance, then >those up and down the chain of command also have to be held accountable to one degree >or another. At the very least, they created an atmosphere in which brutalizing the >enemy was acceptable.

I thought �It�s been 44 years since Donna,�� she said, adding that since Hurricane Donna hit southwest Florida, storms entering the Gulf of Mexico seemed to either skirt the Florida Keys and speed toward the Panhandle or drifted toward Mobile, Ala., and further west.

Networks are copying their own series, sometimes with a third or fourth edition (�CSI,� �Law & Order�) or putting on shows that have the whiff of copycat about them (�The Contender� vs. �The Next Great Champ�).
