ESTERO — ESTERO, FL – The Florida Everblades held their annual season-ending, game-worn jersey auction inside Breakaway’s Sports Pub last night at Germain Arena. The annual event raised $15,400 for area Southwest Florida charities. The game-worn jerseys auctioned off were the Everblades dark blue uniforms worn during all road games during the 2006 Kelly Cup Playoffs. The jerseys fetched from $200 - $3,000. Overall 29 game-worn jerseys were auctioned off with rookie goaltender Kevin Nastiuk’s jersey selling for the highest amount at $3,000. Ernie Hartlieb’s uniform raised $1,150 and defenseman Corey Neilson’s jersey sold for the third highest amount at $1,100. In addition long-time Everblades Brandon Coalter and Reggie Berg saw their uniforms each sell for $1,000. The majority of the money raised during the auction will be donated to the Deb Kelsey Fund and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The Everblades will donate the remaining money raised to help fund other community efforts during the 2006-07 season.
Since their inception, the Everblades have now donated over $295,000 to local charities through several community outreach programs including the charity jersey auctions.

Flood damaged cars come to market |

The LATimes has a article about police and insurance officials trying to keep thousands of vehicles damaged by Hurricane Katrina from being resold. From the article: "As the vast vehicular wreckage wrought by Hurricane Katrina is carted away, law enforcement and insurance officials are anticipating the arrival of tens of thousands of those vehicles on used-car lots across the nation."
Already there is anecdotal evidence of flood-damaged vehicles turning up on lots in Florida, Arizona, New York and Oklahoma, authorities said. Two months ago, at least seven 2005 Nissans listed in the National Insurance Crime Bureau database as hurricane-damaged were sold at an auction in Los Angeles.
A task force of insurance investigators and Louisiana law enforcement officials is building a database of flooded cars to try to prevent vehicles from being spruced up and foisted upon unsuspecting used-car buyers. The database at http://www.nicb.org lists more than 205,000 vehicles.
