On
Thursday, March 24, 2005, Florida State
Representative Everett Rice presented Governor Jeb
Bush's New Age Points
of Light award to four Scientology Volunteer
Ministers of Tampa Bay, Florida. Gov. Bush's Points
of Light certificate honored these Scientology
"Hurricane Heroes" for the work they did
during the Hurricane season of 2004.
According
to scientology.org, signers of the Points of Light
certificate were:
"Governor
Jeb Bush, Lieutenant Governor, Toni Jennings,
Points of Light Foundation representative, Robert
K. Goodwin and Volunteer Florida representative
Cynthia Asia."
(Quote

Volunteer Ministers of Tampa Bay Honored By
Govenor Bush as “Hurricane Heroes”)
Cynthia
Asia heaped lavish praise on the Scientology
Volunteer ministers for making a difference and
Everett Rice remarked:
“We
were all very impressed with what the Scientology
Volunteer Ministers did during the Hurricane
season of 2004.”

as above)
A
picture of Florida Representative Everett Rice and
the Scientology recipients of the Points of Light
award is presently displayed on scientology.org's "newsroom"
page. The caption reads as follows:

Rice (district 54), Volunteer Minister Coordinator
Louise Cournoyer, Volunteer Ministers Judy
Fagerman and Larry Byrnes.
It is not
surprising that
the occult Points of Light
award was presented to the Scientology
Volunteers on Student Day, a Scientology holiday. As
often as possible, Scientology marks important
occasions by arranging for them to occur on their
"special days."
However, it is
noteworthy
that
the presenter of this award waited until Terri
Schiavo's dehydration death process was
underway to
award Scientology volunteers for hurricane heroics
performed last year.
This award, which
Representative Everett Rice presented in his
office, could have been given at any time, yet
Rice chose the time that Terri was being put to death to rejoice in Scientology's heroic
accomplishments.
