More than 200 professional anglers from all over the United States, with anglers also repre- senting Canada and Japan have begun the yearlong journey that will eventually win one steadfast angler the coveted title of FLW champion. The tournament, in all, will feature some 400 anglers with 200 pros and 200 co-anglers who compete against one anoth- er, but side by side with the pros. Lake Okeechobee has always been considered one of, if not the best bass fisheries in the country. Its abundance of large fish, chal- lenging conditions, and ever' changing its foundation, the lake draws professional and amateur tournaments from all over the country. Professional anglers know that each time they return to Lake Okeechobee, they face a brand new lake. Anglers have had to deal with a variety of conditions since the FLW tournament began in 1996, with its initial kick off on the big lake, although the FLW concept began in 1979 and expanded under various names, some of which continue to exist. Last year's four hurricanes impacted the lake by dropping an almost continuous supply of heavy rains and winds that stirred the big lake into a giant bowl of coffee- like water.

With our donations *this year from the city of Moore Haven, TelSouth Com- munications, Lodge Consli 'uc- tion, Moore Halen Cabinet Company, M.E. Goes, Inc., Lakeside Electric, Southern Distributors, and teachers at Moore Haven Elementary School we were able to pur- chase many new decorations, boat parade trophies, and lights for the Tom Perry City Park. The event was enjoyable for everyone and hope to make next year's Christmas on the Caloosahatchee even big- ger and better! areas of clean water knowing that is where the fish would also want to be and areas like the Monkey Box, which held its clari- ty through the storms saw a regu- lar'fish-fest. Kelly Jordan ended up winning the opening event and George Cochran would go on to win the 2005 champion -when the tournament wrapped up. on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. This year's challenge will be much of the same after Hurri- cane Wilma took all of the water frorri the north .end of the lake and shoved it south to create a massive storm surge, shaking the lake water up even more than last year's storms combined. But according to local FLW profes- sional angler Scoll Martin, it's not as bad as last year. "There are plenty of fish, but there's so much new water that weights may be down'somewhat this year," admitted Martin in an interview with FLW.com. But Martin also said there are larger areas of clear water this year, like See Fishing-Page 12 Time to take a. stroll --in the park for fun By Barbara Oehlbeck of a project titled, "Discovery ORTONA Winter walked over the land during the night before the walk was scheduled, consequently, there was serious doubt as to how many N\ould be interest- * ed enough to bra\ e the cold and attend the first in the series "Exploring Florida Through Literature: A Literary Nature Walk at the Larry Luckey Ortona Indian Mound -Park Saturday Jan.. 7 spon-. sored by the Florida Humani- ties Council in cooperation with the Ortona Community Library.

Father Dan is one of four brothers "Irish twins" as he said, born year apart. After earning a degree in accounting and finance, Dan Smith was heading for law school. At the time he made that decision, he was working in Sarasota, Florida. He went to his pastor at St. Margaret's Catholic Church there to ask for a letter of reference.

Letters to the Editor Missing the point To the editor: There is an important point missing from the current debate over what to do do with polluted Lake Okeechobee water. Flood- ing the fields in the Everglades Agricultural. Area (EAA),in addi- tiori to being nearly impossible without also flooding towns, highways, hospitals and other public facilities, would destroy the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and therefore kill the Everglades. That is too high a price to pay for a minor Band-Aid for the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Rivers, which can only be per- manently restored by going for- ward with the balance of the CERP program. If people want to "save" the rivers from discharges of dirty water from the Lake, they should focus on saving CERP. It is unre- alistic to flood the EAA for many reasons. One is because the sys- tem has been changed so much that the farm land could hold only a fraction of the water being. released into the estuaries, for" one thing, and once they're flooded the problem would be right back where it started. And it's unrealistic because that farmland does not belong to the suburban communities that filled in their own wetlands and now want to flood someone else's property in order to enhance their own. And it's fur- ther unrealistic because polluted water sent south onto farms would keep going south and kill the Everglades, which is now finally recovering because of the years of effort and millions of dollars invested by the public- private partnership of farmers, state and federal governments working together for restoration. It's also true that farmer and cattle ranching north of the Lake is a major contributor of the nutrients causing the problems in the lake and estuaries. Sugar farmers reduced the phosphorus load in their runoff years ago, 'and most of their water drains south. Back pumping to the Lake is less than three percent of the Lake's inflow. Most of the phosphorus now embedded in the Lake's dirty mud sediment came from the north, and most of the phosphorus still flowing into the Lake comes from the same direction. That's why the state-federal plans to restore the Everglades-Lake Okeechobee- Kissimmee River ecosystem. include major water storage and filtering systems north of the Lake. South of the lake, sugar farm- ers have reduced the phospho- rus content of water at their own expense, and on their own land, in addition to paying a special 'tax to build -the large Storm Water Treatment Areas that now are filtering water from coastal communities as well as from the farming area. This partnership with public agencies is what has rescued the Everglades and what underlies the $10 billion-plus Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project adopted by Congress. 2nd Generation Sugarcane Farmer Happy New Year Dear editor: Happy New Year from the Glades County Health Depart- ment! We are encouraged ,that this year will bring Glades Coun- ty a renewed sense of well being and good health! An exciting opportunity is before us as we start the 2006 year! The Glades County Health Department has received some state funds to partner with the Southwest Florida Health Plan- ning Council to assist with a community-wide strategic plan- ning tool for improving public health issues, identify resources for addressing them, and then taking action. This process is called MAPP an acronym standing for Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships. MAPP was-devel- oped through a cooperative agreement between the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This process is community driven and relies on participation from individuals, groups, and constituencies in the communi- ty. Since the community drive process has credibility, ensures buy-in and creates sustainability over time. MAPP uses a broad definition of local public health system. This recognizes that public health is provided by more than just the local health department. Other organizations such as hos- pitals, businesses, faith codmmu- nities, and community based organizations play a critical role in assuring the public's health. MAPP has the potential to put the "public" back in public health. Thank you in advance for your support and participation. Please R.S.V.P. to Leanna Gonza- lez at (863) 674-4056 ext 117.

( L jw., iA,..r,s mBr MeMberod-' Florida Press Assmoctfast Picking up sticks after the storm By Barbara Oehlbeck For weeks I had fretted over the dead limbs that could not be reached or even knocked down with the boat hook. There was no way of knowing last week that the problem would be solved and lie at my feet this week. We are now picking up after being in the throws of one of the big storms of recent years. Those same dead, dry limbs that were etched high against a sapphire sky, are no longer above my reach, but at my feel and more are falling - more like crashing from heights of some 40 to 50 feet. - The ground is cluttered in every direction. The acres surrounding the house, which we think of as our only, more or less, cleared land, looks like a devastated area after a woodland has been cut over. This close-to-the-house area stretches out to the land that is variously meadow, cypress heads, pasture and piney woods, and the timeless hammock, a place we have come to think of with a certain holiness - maybe because there is a natu- ral aisle leading in that's straight as an arrow under a cathedral-like dome of arching palm fronds. As Robert Service wrote: It's filled to the rim with hush. Between some of the arched fronds, there are stained-glass skylights -, in reality patches of dazzling blue with flashing sun-glints of gold. And, there's a solid oak "altar" growing between an oak and a. palm that some might see only as an ancient malformed tree trunk. A native of these parts, who has, in his words "seen the earth come on green uh hun-ert times in this swompland" says our "altar" is "more'n three times as old as what I are a-ready". The wall-to-wall, or tree-to-tree carpet.is lacey ferns and creeping swamp grass. The wind is still furi- ous gusting to some 35 miles an hour. In such a blow, it's not easy to walk straight, let alone bend and stoop to pick up dead fronds and fallen debris. It's a little hard on back and knees, but there's some- thing uniquely rewarding about picking up sticks, even though it's considered a common chore. Such good kindling, and, depending upon size, twigs and the like (par- ticularly those with green leaves) make rich additions to the continu- ing compost pile, providing minute air spaces deep in the pile along with heat-producing greenery of the leaves. The dry fronds are like antique parchment crumbling with the slightest touch. So the frond crum- bles are left to return to earth by way of a leaf carpet, while we pick up the spines to use. for more kin- dling these being almost as good as lighter wood for starting a fire and much easier to come by. After some 12 hours of wind, the skies had burst open and within. a brief period had deluged the land with hard-driving, cold rain cold enough to break some records in this part of the world. This being a little west and south of Lake Okee- chobee, which is the second largest freshwater lake in the United States. Such an enormous expanse of water naturally modifies temper- atures over surrounding areas, but this year, the cold front that moved quickly down the land was too much even for the Big Lake to do much-about. With such a heavy down-force of water having been let,on the land in a relatively short time, lay- ered leaves and fallen twiggy growth raised theforest floor sever- al inches, leaving it like a meander- ing sponge through the trees. It sqooshed and crunched as small piles of limbs were made that would be hauled away another time. Later, looking around, trying to take stock of how much picking-up there was yet to do, there was the thought: With the long finger of Florida as it is, in the.sumrer all this will be floating again as South Florida's downpour of the tradi- tional rainy season meets the unerring sheet flow from the north. Eventually this shallow sheeting of vast miles of rainwater will make its way across the land to the big river, the Caloosahatchee, and thence to the Gulf of Mexico. Then, walking will become wading and the natu- ral carpet cornposting will settle the ,level of the land back to normal. When first seeing and walking over this come-and-go wetland - our friend's "swompland" I wondered how seeds-of wildflow- ers and even wild oranges could survive and germinate after such long periods of wet burial, then equally long periods of hot, arid conditions. But now I have come to believe that it's not necessary to understand the how, but simply to accept such miraculous happen- ings as an integral part of their evo- lution along with the mysterious wonder of the survivalprocess. There's something soul-satisfy- ing, even a benison, about picking up windfalls from the trees. It amounts to a modicum of house cleaning in the forest, and as a result, a comforting store of fire- wood is accumulated for cold win- ter nights and shiv'ring mornings before sunup by the Franklin stove. So many uncommon lessons to be learned from the land many too complicated and many too simple to be put into words and included in books. The sun was sliding down the sky as my steps turned homeward. Glancing back for one more long look before going in, there was a kind of austere beauty all about as the lone palm at the edge of the ferny aisle at the hammock stood straight and tall, shaking its shaggy head against the muted silver sky of twilight. How does God really get His kicks? By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church The title is frivolous, but this message could change some- body's life. How does God get His kicks? What is it that gives God the most pleasure? The answer is, He gets the most pleasure from taking something that the world perceives as worthless and giving it value., There's a story about a kinder-. garten teacher who wrote a song about popcorn. She had her class crouch down on the floor as they sang it. At the appropriate point in the song, all the children would "pop up." The teacher had them "popping" all over the classroom. One day, during the popcorn song, the teacher noticed that one little boy remained crouched down when all the other children popped up. She went over'to him and asked if he was okay, and why he wasn't popping up like the other children. The little boy replied, "I'm burning on the bottom of the pan." Some of us can relate. If not us, then someone we know feels like they are burning on the bottom of the pan. There are burnt kernel feelings, feelings of worthlessness. or despair. Think on this: God sent His Son into this world in our behalf. There- fore, how can we be worthless? God sees us as people of infinite worth, and that's the way we all need to see ourselves. If we would place the same value on our lives that God places on them, our lives would be radically changed. If we would see our possibilities as clear- ly as we see our problems, we would turn the world upside down. How we view ourselves makes all the difference in the world. Hockey great Wayne Gretzky was interviewed before the second game of a playoff series. His team had played poorly and lost the first game. He was asked;whether his coach had shown the players their, mistakes on video. Gretzky said that rather than showing them a video of their mistakes, their coach showed highlights of them per- forming well. \V, reinforce negative images They needed to see themselves as they could be, not as they had been. The case in point: Gretzky's team won the second game and subsequently took the Stanley Cup. I believe that many of us could benefit immensely from standing in front of a mirror each morning and saying to ourselves, "I am a person of immense value. Jesus Christ gave His life in my behalf. I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. There is nothing that will arise today that I cannot handle with His help."' Your life will be changed if you can say this and believe it. One final thought. A number of years ago there was a commercial that showed a Mercedes crashing into a concrete wall during a safety test. An engineer checks out the damage, which is minimal. After-, wards, a reporter asks the engineer about Mercedes' energy absorbing car body and why:Mercedes does- n't enforce their patent on the design, which evidently had been copied by several other companies because of its success. The engineer replies matter-of- factly, "Because some things in life are too important not to share." There are some things in life that are too important not to share. This is one of them. If .God gets so much pleasure from bringing value to that which is considered worth- less in our lives, then why not share this blessing by helping other peo- ple turn around their lives as well.. How does God get His kicks? It happens whenever any person in whatever situation comes to dis- cover his or her true worth as a child of God. . Why not give God a great time today? Why don't we claim or reclaim Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives and make a new start with Him? Why. not look around and find others that we can encourage along the same path? Pet Corner -' Question: Dear Doc Savvy. My name. is Joey, and I am 11 years old. I am doing a project for my school about what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be a veterinarian. Can you tell me how long you have to go. to school to be a veterinarian? Thank you, Joey in Wellington. Answer: Hey Joey, I am glad you wrote to ask! After graduating from high school, it takes between eight and. 12 years on the average. The various amounts of years depend upon if you want to specialize, or if you do an intern- ship. I hope you will continue to pursue your interest in veterinary medicine Joey! Keep me posted with any other questions you may have. Take care, Doc Savvy. Question: Dear Doc Savvy. The fleas seem to be out of control these days. What do you recom- mend? Danielle in Belle Glade. Answer: Dear Danielle. Yes it does seem to be a tough time for fleas! This is what I recommend to my clients. Control the environ- ment in the house and yard with an animal safe product. Use a vet- Doc Savvy erinary approved flea shampoo to bathe your pet. After your pet is completely dry, then use Frontline topical flea treatment, and an oral dose of Capstar flea control. This should help. The capstar is an extra boost! Have a great one! Doc Savvy.

Online News & Information Get the latest news at www.newszap.com By The Reverend Samuel S. Thomas, Ph.D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston Someone gave me a list of things to say on the way out of church to the preacher if he has been long-winded. The list includ- ed phrases such as "you always find something to fill up the time, don't you" or" did you know that there are 176 window panes in the church?" or when a youngster told the minister "the sermon was awful!" his mother said, "don't lis- ten to him, he only says what other people say!" Usually, the congregation is at the mercy of the preacher and there is an unwritten rule that he may wax eloquent at length. He does so, however, at his own risk. When one visiting preacher asked, "How long should I preach?" he was told "you can preach as long as you want to, we're out of here in 15 minutes!" The bible has something to say about long-winded preachers - none other than Paul himself. It seems he was visiting Troas for seven days and as they gathered to have communion, Paul began to preach. He intended to depart, the next day and "he prolonged his speech until midnight (Act 20:7)" As the account goes, "a young man named Euthchus was sitting in the window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked longer, and being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead (v.9)." Paul went down and bent over him, embraced him and announced that there was life in him. After the celebration of the communion service, Acts tells us, "And they took the lad away alive. And were not little comforted." The message is clear enough: Sermons can kill! In reality, we're fortunate with our churches on the first floor and air conditioning to keep people inside with the win- dows closed. There is a warning though for the preachers don't get carried away. I read a commentary on the children's hit TV show, "Sesame Street" and learned that the format was changed every few minutes to keep short attention spans. Many, times nevertheless it must be rec- ognized that the preacher's not a stand-up entertainer. There are .times when there is no catchy way to present a message or a talk about something that is a topic for that Sunday. One young boy assisting me at the altar one Sunday told me, "I don't want to be here my moth- er made me come!" I looked at him for a minute and said, "What makes you think I want to be here every Sunday either? I'm here and you're here because that's where we're supposed to be, not because we feel like it!" He looked at me for a second, and then got back to his appointed task with something to think about a sermon is one sen- tence that apparently made the point. There is a responsibility when one has a captive audience to be respectful of the structure. If it can't be said succinctly and to the point, the preacher may be putting peo- ple to sleep! Even if they don't fall out of windows, they might not want to come back, and if one is attempting to corrvey God's mes- sage, they're doing him a real dis- service. Anyone can string bible verses together and cite platitudes, but such a preacher runs the risk of putting people to sleep. One defini- tion of a sermon that stuck with me was that it was a bridge between an ever-changing world and fixed, eternal truth not sociology or pop science, but what God might say about what is going on here and now. With the state of the world, there is always something worth saying. It should be said and then serve as a springboard for us to respond in our prayers and actions as well as our words. One of my colleagues asks his listeners to give him a grade, but more importantly, feedback so that he can be self-cor- recting. He's a good preacher, too.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 54-year-old Debo- rah Davis Haywood of Clewiston died after a two-car crash at Birch- wood Parkway and E. Cowboy Way. The crash occurred at 7:25 a.m. in heavy fog conditions. FHP reports that Ms. Haywood was southbound on Birchwood Parkway and failed to stop for the posted stop sign at the intersection. Her 2005 Dodge Stratos entered the intersection where it was struck on the left side by a 1998 Toyota 4-Run- ner driven by Reina DelCarmen Castellon, 32, of LaBelle. Bothvehi- cles rotated counterclockwise, then traveled onto the southwest corner of the.intersection. Ms. Hay- wood's vehicle then struck a tele- phone junction box and the Castel- lon vehicle overturned onto its right side before up-righting itself. Both vehicles came to a final rest on the south shoulder of E. Cowboy Way. Ms. Castellon, 32, and a passen- ger, 20-year-old Teresa Lemnus of. the same address, both suffered minor injuries and were transport- ed to LeHigh Regional Hospital. As of Dec. 28, Hendry experi- enced 22 fatal crashes, resulting in 27 fatalities. As throughout the state, Hendry County has experienced a signifi- cant increase in traffic fatalities in the last couple years. In 2000, Hendry had 11 road fatalities (four of them alcohol related); in 2001 that number jumped to 19 (11 alco- hol related); in 2002 it was 16 (nine alcohol related); in 2003 it was 13 (five alcohol related); and in 2004, 26 people lost their lives on Hendry's roads (eight alcohol relat- ed), according to Florida Depart- ment of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle statistics. Statistics also show that, statewide, careless driving is, over- all, the biggest factor in crashes on Florida roads, at just, over 25 per- cent. Other top causes include fail- ure to yield right-of-way (over 13 percent) and driving under the influence alcohol (over 10 per- cent). Floridians can appeal FEMA denial ORLANDO Floridians who received denial letters declaring them ineligible for Hurricane. Wilma disaster assistance can fol- low a process to appeal decisions, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Securi- ty's Federal Emergency Manage- ment Agency (FEMA) and Florida's State Emergency Response Team (SERT), Common, reasons for denial include adequate insurance cover- age; damage to a secondary home, not a primary residence; duplicate applications made from the same address; and, inability to prove occupancy or ownership. Sometimes a denial simply means that more information is needed before the analysis can be completed. Applicants who are denied housing and other needs assistance under FEMA's Individu- als and Households Program (IHP) have 60 days from the date of their determination letter to appeal the decision. All appeals must be sub- mitted in writing. In their appeal letters, applicants should explain in writing why they think the decision about the amount or type of assistance they received is not correct They should provide specific examples, such as areas electrical, plumbing, floors, walls, ceilings, etc. they feel were not addressed in the inspection process. The applicant, or someone who represents them or their household, should sign the letter. If the person writing the letter is not a member of the household, there must be a signed statement saying that the writer may act on the applicant's behalf. Appeal letters should include the applicant's FEMA registration number and the disaster number (shown at. the top of the decision letter Wilma's disaster number is 1609). It is important to have appeal letters postmarked within 60 days of the date on the decision letter. It is also important to date the appeal letter, which should be mailed to the following address: FEMA Individuals & House- holds Program National. Processing Service 'Center P.O. Box 10055 Hyattsville, MD 20782-7055 Letters can also be faxed to 800- 827-8112 (Attention: FEMA-Indi- viduals & Households Program). To register for or ask questions about FEMA assistance, residents should call FEMA at 1-800-621- FEMA (3362) or TTY 1-800-462- 7585 for the speech- and hearing- impaired. The deadline-to apply for disaster assistance is Jan. 19,2006. Appealing insurance-related denials While the law forbids federal payment for losses covered by insurance, financial aid may be provided for losses not covered, and information in the settlement letter from the insurance company can help obtain this aid from FEMA, if the individual is eligible. If an applicant is still waiting for an insurance settlement but has received a letter from FEMA stating that a claim for federal assistance has been denied because of insur- ance coverage he or she should contact FEMA and request a "delay of settlement" letter. A completed copy of the letter should be mailed back to FEMA at the above address :so the agency is aware that the claims process is still ongoing. If an applicant does receive an insurance settlement and also receives a letter from FEMA stating that a claim for federal assistance has been denied because of insur- ance coverage but feels the insur-: ance settlement was not sufficient the applicant can, re-contact FEMA and let them know of the sit- uation. Insurance cases can be. appealed to FEMA up to 12 months from an applicant's registration date.

Fred Burson has per- sonally donated $10,000 to the 2005-2006 campaign. There is still a lot of work to do though, to achieve the community goal of $162,000. "Everyone in our area is posi- tively affected by United Way, and there is still a shortfall of approxi- mately $30,000 to get to the goal of $162,000," said Mr. Burson. More than 21,000 local residents were helped by United Way agencies last year in Hendry and Glades Coun- ties. Paul Martin, regional general manager for the Bonita Bay Group, is serving his fourth year as the vol- unteer campaign chair for the Unit- ed Way of Hendry and Glades Counties.: "There's such a need in the community and as leaders here locally, we want to give back to help rriake the community a better place tolive for all," he said. The employees of Hendry County School District have helped the United Way campaign get off to a great start by contributing over $21,000. Other campaigns that are under way include Hilliard Broth- ers, Childcare of SouthWest Flori- da, Family Eye Care, Johnson Engi- puts United Way Submitted to INI Paul Martin and Fred Burson show off their new fundraising mark after Fred Burson' generous donation of $10,000 to the annual United Way fundraiser. neering, The Tax Collectors Office, Wal-Mart, The Department of Health, the Division of Children and Families and many others. Thirty agencies and programs will receive funds from the 2005- near goal 2006 United Way Hendry/Glades fundraising campaign.

People come in all different shapes and sizes. No two are exactly alike. Which is why when you ask a person, "What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie?" chances are you will discover their tastes are just as unique as the individual. And this year, a new cookie will be introduced, making the decision even harder. Cartwheels, reduced fat, bite- sized cinnamon oatmeal cook- ies, are making their debut with the rest of the old favorites: Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shortbread, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Reduced Fat Lemon Pastry Cremes, and Thank A-Lot (formerly known as Animal Treasures). The Girl Scout Cookie Sale is the most anticipated and popular activity within the Girl Scout fam- ily and the community that sup- ports them. However, the cookie sale does more that just satisfy a sweet tooth. It provides incredi- ble opportunities for Girl Scouts to acquire real-life business and financial skills. Their creativity and imaginations are tapped as they explore and learn more about marketing and advertising, and realize the satisfaction that comes when a shared goal is reached. "Girl Scouts in- our area are even more excited about the cookie sale this year," said Denise Valz, chief executive offi- 'cer for Girl Scouts of Palm Glades Council. "By introducing the new cookie, people will be curious and may buy a box, just to try it, along 'with their standard favorite." And quite possibly, a new favorite cookie will be born. Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence and charac- ter who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of Palm Glades Council, Inc., a United Way agency, serves almost 9,000 Girl Scouts in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee,' Glades and Hendry Counties. . Look for your local Girl Scouts to begin their cookie campaign soon. My soldier program needs your support PURCHASE, NY- A new initia- tive by the Manhattanville My Sql- dier program, I Heart My Soldier, asks civilians to send a heartfelt greeting to a soldier deployed far from home for Valentines Day. The program hopes to ease the hard- ship for soldiers who are spending yet another holiday away from family and friends and was designed in response to the letters and e-mails received from soldiers at www.mysoldier.com that said the frequency of letters and pack- ages dramatically declines after the December holidays. "Traditionally, Valentine's Day is a time to reach out to loved ones, family and friends", said My Soldier co-founder, active duty army ser- geant and Manhattanville College student Juan Salas. "We are asking that you consider adding another group of recipients to your list. Please send a valentine to let a sol- dier know you are thinking of him, or to thank her for all she has done." While the regular My Soldier program attempts to foster an ongoing pen-pal relationship, I Heart My Soldier is tailored to those groups or individuals who want to send some support without mak- ing a continuing commitment. Participants may opt to adopt one soldier or an entire platoon but must be willing to send each a care. package that includes the follow- ing items: Homemade Valentines; traditional Valentines Candy such as Sweetheart Conversation Hearts and/or Hershey Kisses; and a small "friendly" gift such as warm socks or a stuffed animal. * Salas, who spent 14, months in Iraq, where he saw active combat duty and was commended for his part in saving the life of a child, has first-hand knowledge of what such a project means to soldiers there. His mission was to "win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people." "It was long," says Salas. "But the thing that kept me going was getting letters and cards. From fam- ilies, kids, boy scouts, students, my teachers and yes strangers. Receiv- ing heartfelt messages from unfa- miliar people who cared about me was uplifting. Each letter was like a ,piece of gold. Something you will keep for the rest of your life." Those wishing to participate are asked to contact Manhattanville My Soldier Project Coordinator, Mike Seminara, before Jan. 23 by phone at (914) 323-5439 or e-mail semi-' naram@mville.edu to select a sol- dier or platoon for wxhom to'pro- vide Valentine cards and gifts. The. My Soldier team has assembled a Hot List with suggested items for a Valentine Care Package that stress- es the importance of handmade cards since they ha' e demonstrat- ed you care more than a store- bought card ever could. "Homemade cards are the best" he said. "Soldiers are really touched when they get handwrit- ten cards with personal messages,' or an individual's artwork. This is such a simple way to express grati- tude and show support for our troops while providing them with something they will truly appreci- ate, even cherish."

About Manhaltarikille My Sol- diet: My Soldier is a program that puts politics aside and lets U.S. sol- diers know that someone back home cares. The goal of the pro- gram is to show support for troops serving in hardship areas Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa by establish- ing pen-pal relationships with them.

The\ receive a "starter kit" with guidelines for' writing letters to their deployed United States Armed: Serviceper- son and a red My Soldier bracelet to publicly show their support for American troops. The program is free, but dona- tions are encouraged from those participants that can, afford it. Since Manhattanville President Richard A. Berman and active U.S. Army Sergeant Juan Salas-who also is a, Manhattanville student-launched My Soldier, at a Veterans' Day press conference in 2004 over 400,000 participants have signed .up to adopt over 175,000 deployed mili- tary personnel.

Snowe; Nelson proposal gives seniors more time WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators OlympiaJ. Snowe (R-ME) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) have, intro- duced a bipartisan plan to give sen- iors more time to sign up for the new Medicare prescription drug, benefit, provide more flexibility for beneficiaries to change plans, and add crucial protections for those enrolled in a plan \Vith more than 40. plans to choose frorr and the recent discov- ery cf' significant pro'blerns vitih the Centers for Medicare and Medic- aid's i.CMS"I signup services, sen- iors in Maine, Florida, and across the country deserve more time to decide w hat kind of prescription, drug coverage is right for them. "Seniois in Maine are worried they could make a poor choice in selecting a plan and that, once enrolled, the drugs offered by the plan they choose may not be the drugs they need," said Snowe, "We must ensure that seniors who are depending on Medicare prescription drug coverage are riot saddled with monthly premiums for plans which do not meet their needs. Many seniors are confused, angry, and concerned for good reason that. they do not have adequate information about the plans being offered. Our bill repre- sents an opportunity to alleviate much of their concern and make sure the new drug benefit starts on the right foot." Senator Nelson agrees. "Senior. shouJdn't.have topaya penalty'if the\ chbiouse the wrong plan or delay" enrollment," Nelson said. "This legislation will help sen- iors by giving them the time they need and deserve to make an informed and educated decision." The Medicare Drug Benefit Pro- tections Act of 2005 extends the ini- tial six-month period for enrolling in a plan from May 15, to Dec. 31, thus delaying late enrollment penalties until 2007 and giving ben- eficiaries all of 2006 to decide whether to enroll in a Medicare drug benefit plan. Once beneficiar- ies have enrolled in a plan, the bill provides a one-time opportunity during 2006 to change to another plan without penalty, should they wish to do so. Under Snox e and Nelson's bill, beneficiaries could change plans without penalty if the\ relied ohf misinformation from CMS to their detriment. There are serious prob- lerns with inaccurate drug pricing information being provided b\ the CMS Web site de\ oted to the new Medicare Part D plans, wxwl\.medicare.gov. In one instance, the CMS \\eb site quoted one price for a senior's drug costs for 2006 but the plan itself quoted a cost of approximately $2,000 more *than the CMS Web site Beneficia- ries would also be allowed to change plans without penalty should their circumstances change significantly, due to medical rea- sons, for example. The bill also authorizes $25 million in funds for grants to states, nonprofit organiza- tions, etc. to conduct additional outreach efforts during 2007 and 2008. Summary of provisions in the Medicare Drug Benefit Protections Act of 2005: Delay Fate enrollment penalties and extend initial enrollment period from May 15, 2006 to all of 2006. Allow beneficiaries the opportunity to make a one-time change in enrollment anytime dur- ing 2006. Allow beneficiaries to make a. change in plans without penalty if they relied on misinformation from CMS to their detriment (CMS web- site problem ). :'!, ,; ,, Ajlow beneficiaries to make a change in plans without penalty if they have a material change in cir- cumstances such as medical rea- sons. Extend time period for benefi- ciaries to change plans due to spe- cial circumstances from 90 days to four months. Extend open season each year after 2006 from six weeks (Nov. 15-Dec. 31) to a full two months (Nov. 1-Dec.31). Authorize $25 million in funds for grants to states, nonprofit organizations, etc. to conduct addi- tional outreach efforts during 2007 and 2008. Post your news on line!

When you first come to Fly- Lady.net you are shocked to :hear what your initial habit is. "Go shine my sink? How is that going to help me get my whole house in order?" , Right now you are probably feeling a bit overwhelmed and I promise this is going to help you get out of the CHAOS, (Can't Have Anyone Over Syn- dlrome) that you have been liv- ing in.for such a long time. It all starts with that shining sink. When I set out to get my act together in 1999, I didn't know where to start either. This is why I just picked my sink. I was tired of beating myself up over the way I kept our home look- ing. At this point I knew what I had been doing would not work -for very long. It was because I would go gung ho for a week or two then I would crash and burn, There is no rhythm to. my method. I was forcing myself to adhere to a hew set of rules and I felt so confined by the sheer number of them. I knew the system I had always used was not going to work again. This .is when I started to rethink how I treated myself and guilt trips I would force on me. These were not working and I was so beaten down. Right then and there I decid- ed I would be nice to me by only requiring that I do "one small thing each day. I needed to establish a habit. I had plenty of habits but they were not effective ones for taking care of me or our home. I picked keep- ing my sink clean and shiny for a whole month. It was just that simple! ' What is in that shiny sink anyway? When you walk into you kitchen in morning and you are confronted with yesterday's dirty dishes; you just want to go crawl back into bed and pull the covers over your head. Along with these dishes are hurtful feelings because no one is helping you. Not only do you have to get these out of way to start another meal but you are beating yourself up because you let them go. That nasty water is just a reflection, of how you feel when you face a sink full of yesterday's dirty dishes. Now on the other hand, when you, are greeted with a Flylady T , byMarla I Cilley shiny sink, all these bad feelings are gone and for the first time you can see a reflection of you. This is why I named my book "Sink Reflections." That shiny sink brings a smile to your face. You deserve to smile. The guilt has vanished because you are standing in a kitchen with no roadblocks to begin your day. That is a great feeling and that is what a brand new day is all about!

Thursday, January 19, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee s Great Florida Birding Trail opens for the birders After years of anticipation, the Great Florida Birding Trail, is complete. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) unveiled the final seg- ment of the trail Jan. 14 at Corkscrew Swamp" Sanctuary in Naples. Both novice and expert. bird ,watchers will enjoy the 116 prime birding sites in the South Section, which includes Broward, Charlotte, Collier, De Soto, Glades, Hendry, Lee, Mar- tin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Palm Beach and Sarasota Counties. The 2,000-mile trail is a collec- tion of 446 of Florida's premier bird-watching sites. The South Section, which spans 12 counties and promises. remarkable glimpses of Florida's wildlife, is the fourth and final leg of the trail. Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary was selected as one of nine "gateway sites" statewide because of its extensive services for visitors, which include a 2.25- mile boardwalk through the largest remaining virgin cypress forest in North America, the state-of-the-art Blair Audubon Center, a variety of educational activities, and more than 200 species of birds. The Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge ifi Palm Beach County is also a gateway site for the South Section. For more information, visit www.floridabirdingtrail.com. Moderation: Even with Girl Scout cookies is recommended What's in a name? People who love Girl Scout cookies don't seem to mind what they call them as long as they taste the same. But I don't think they're fooled by name changes that attempt to make the cookies sound less fattening. The most popular Girl Scout cookies, Thin Mints, were originally marketed as "Chocolate Mint" cookies. Caramel deLites, a sweet mix of caramel, chocolate and coconut, were originally known as "Samoas." Shortbread cookies were origi- nally known as "Butter Shorties," and spent a fewyears as "Trefoils." These new names may be an attempt to make the cookies sound less fattening, so read the labels and remember the importance of moderation. One change includes an educa- A - Healthier Life .. " with Katrina Elsken tional bonus. "Thanks-A-Lot" cookies are last year's "Animal Treasures" with a new round shape. Each cookie has the word "thank you" in different languages. So you can learn how to say "thank you" in French, Italian or Spanish while enjoying a chocolate-coated shortbread cookie. Every few years, the Scouts add a new cookie to the mix. This year's new cookies, "Cartwheels," are crunchy, bite-sized, reduced-fat oatmeal cookies. The Scouts also sometimes "retire" cookies that have not been selling well. Sold only once a year, Girl Scout Cookies are considered by many people to be a special treat to be savored. They are both a comfort food and a tradition. Before ripping open a box, take a few minutes to consider the nutri- tional facts. And be sure to note the "suggested serving size," because once the box is open, it may be. hard to keep track of how many Thin Mint cookies you consume. One nice addition to the nutritional information this year is the transfat content. Transfats are fats such as vegetable oil that have been chemi- cally changed so that they have a longer shelf life. Consuming too many of these fats may increase the chance of clogged arteries. Some varieties of this year's Girl Scout cookies have no transfat. Thin Mints: Suggested serving size is four cookies, with 160 calo- ries, 22 g carbohydrate, 8g fat with. no transfat. Shortbread: Suggested serving size is four cookies, with 130 calo- ries, 18g carbohydrate and 6g fat with 1.5g transfat. Caramel deLites: Suggested serving size is two cookies, with 140 calories, 19g carbohydrate and 7g fate with-no transfats. Peanut Butter Patties: Suggest- ed serving size is two cookies, with 150 calories, 16g carbohydrate and 8g fat with no transfat. r . Reduced Fat Lemon Pastry Cremes: Suggested serving size is three cookies, with 130 calories, 22g carbohydrate, 4.5g fat with I g transfat. Crist names Lemieux to run his campaign TALLAHASSEE Charlie Crist, attorney general and candi- date.for Governor, named George LeMieux as chief of staff for his gubernatorial campaign. LeMieux will begin with the campaign later this week. S"George LeMieux has done an outstanding job-. serving the peo- ple as deputy attorney general of the state of Florida," said Crist. "For years George has been an indispensable resource to me as a trusted advisor, capable manager, and skilled strategist. I could not think of a better person., to'fill this role and I'm honored that he accepted my offer. I know his political knowledge, passion and dedication will bring continued success to our campaign." LeMieux added, "It has been a great privilege to work with Attor- ney General Charlie Crist and to serve the people of Florida for the past three years as deputy attorney general. I am even more honored that the attorney general has offered me vet another opportuni- ty to be of service and help shape Florida's future." . LeMieux's responsibilities as Campaign Chief of Staff will include managing operations, overseeing strategy and advising Crist on public policy issues. LeMieux is a political veteran who managed Governor Bush's Broward County re-election cam- paign in 2002. LeMieux's political leadership led to his unanimous election as Chairman of the Browvard County Republican Part\ in 2000, and again in 2002. As chairman, he successfully led the county party in the 2002 election to its best election results in more than a decade. Thanks-A-Lot with 1 g transfat.

"Bishop Nevins began the dio- cese of Venice, Florida," said Father Dan. "So he ordains on the anniver- sary of the creation of the diocese to commemorate its' founding." So, on Oct. 25, 1999, Dan Smith became Father Dan and has never looked back. "I'm happy. It was the right deci- sion," he said. "I came to Glades County in November. 2004, after the hurri- canes to help with the clean-up and the building of the new church for St. Teresa's," said Father Dan. "Life at the Glades County churches is slow compared to the diocesan cathe- dral, which had five Masses each and every day and 2,500 families to minister to, so I'm working on a master's degree in business admin- istration at Saint Leo University to take up the time," he said.

"There's no shortage of fish,"- he said, "but anglers \%ill have to plan their, strategies ahead of time." Martin, who.has been test- ing the waters by shiner fishing, said he's been catching 25-30 fish a day and predicts some crowd- ing during the tournament, but also said the canal systems, which offer better sight fishing opportu- nities, will ease some of the pres- sure off of the main lake for the tournament.

It was three more long but nearly uneventful days .before the Rocking JG crew arrived on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River near the tiny settlement of Olga. At that point the river was too deep to ford, which meant the cattle would have to swim across, guided'by the wake of a flat-bottomed barge connected to the far shore with cables. Life would have been a lot simpler, coming as they had from Brevard County, if they had been able to make the more tra- ditional crossing at Fort Thomp- son below the falls from Lake Okeechobee. That natural ford near the river's head-waters had been in use as long as any native Floridian could remember. But a year earlier it had been ruined forever by the clanking, smoke- belching machines of a Yankee land developer named Disston; who had his heart set on drain- ing the state's largest lake dry and turning it. into farmland.

January 12 Basics for the future: Convention Cattlemen, the 23rd Annual Cattlemen's Institute and Allied Trade Show to be held Jan. 19, at the Osceola Heritage Park on Highway 192 East is just around the corner. This year's Institute has a line up of speakers that you will not want to miss.- This year we expect the agricultural/livestock trade show to be even larger and better than the past. Each year the trade show has approximate- ly 70 plus exhibitors. Here you can find livestock and forage equipment, pharmaceuticals, feed arid fertilizers along with agri-chemical dealers. Represen- tatives from feedlots, along with breeding services, real estate, Ag-lending and financial servic- es, and livestock supplies will be exhibiting at the trade show. We have several outstanding keynote speakers. First, Senior Vice-Presiderit Dr. Jimmy Cheek, UF/IFAS will be present and give the welcome address along with Mr. Joe Marlin Hilliard, President of the Florida Cattlemen's Asso- ciation. Dr. Jerry Sartain, University of Florida.IFAS will speak about "Basics of Pasture Fertilization". Dr. Sartain is a Professor in the Soil and Water Sciences Depart- ment. His research areas of inter- est are in the areas of: Manage- ment of Nutrients, Pesticides and Wastes. He teaches undergradu- ates and graduate level courses in Environmental Nutrient Man- agement and Soil Fertility Mr. Mark Harmon will discuss with the audience "Recent Develop- ments in Cattle Marketing". Mr. Harmon is from the Joplin Regional Stockyard, Joplin, Mis- souri. Just before lunch, Commis- sioner Charlie Bronson will deliver his "State of the State for Florida Agriculture". Charles H. Bronson, a fifth-generation Floridian, serves as Florida's 10th Agriculture Commissioner. Managing the largest state Department of Agriculture in the country with more than 3,700 employees, Bronson's priorities include overseeing the state's vast agriculture industry and helping promote its products, safeguarding the state's food supply, protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive trade practices, and managing about one million acres of state forests UF researches searching for alternatives .WIMAUMA, Fla. With this month's federal ban on most uses of methyl bromide, University of Florida scientists are searching for alternatives to the widely used soil fumigant that is essential for the production of fruits, vegetables and ornamentals in Florida and the nation. The fumigant. which controls soil pests and weeds, was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency in response to the Montreal Protocol international treatl because the chemical harms the Earth's ozone layer, reducing its ability to protect the planet from radiation. Only a few emergency uses of the fumigant are still permit- ted. "Finding a replacement that will be as cost-effective as methyl bro- mide is proving to be difficult, but we do have some promising new materials and approaches to help growers protect their crops and the environment," said Jim Gilreath, a professor of horticultural sciences at UF's Institute of Food and Agri- cultural Sciences. He said many fumigants such as Chloropicrin, Telone C-.35, Inline and Vapam are being evaluated, alone-and in combination. Recent tests showed that' combination of Telone C-35 and Tillam herbicide produced good results on toma- toes, but the manufacturer of Tillam went out of business, and the product is not currently regis- tered for use. "As we continue to look for alternatives for. methyl bromide, we have found that the use of new virtually impermeable film and metalized film covers on plant beds allow growers to reduce their use of the fumigant by as much as 50 percent," he said. "When it comes to holding or keeping fumigants in the soil, these high-barrier mulch films are far superior to convention- al polyethylene mulch films that have been used by growers for the past 30 years." I Gilreath, who leads the soil fumigation research program at UF's Gulf Coast Research and Edu- cation Center in Wimauma, said his research findings were quickly adopted by growers this year. Almost every tomato farm in Flori-: da is now using metalized film on some part of its acreage along with the one-half rate of methyl bro- mide. "In fact, several of the larger tomato producers shifted all of their' acreage to metalized film in the Southeast from Florida to the Del- marva peninsula in Virginia based on results from our research," Gilreath said. "Growers have been very satisfied with the results and plan to continue using the highly retentive films" He said the savings in the cost of methyl bromide along with more equitable distribution of limited supplies of the fumigant and reduced impact on the ozone layer, - have made this approach very successful. GiIreath, w ho w works in coopera- tion with Joe Noling, a professor of nematology *at LIF's Citius Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred, and Dan Chellemi, a pathologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Horticultural Research Laboratory in Fort Pierce, said they began testing different types of films about eight years ago in an effort to reduce the need for methyl bromide. "Two years ago, we. began working with metalized films because they also reduce the movement of silver-leaf whiteflies and viruses they transmit," he said. "We tested the metalized films with methyl bromide and a .product called Inline, which is Telone C-35 enable Association is currently seek- mixed with an emulsifier so that it ing exemptions for producers can be injected through drip irriga- through the 2006 and 2007 grou- tion lines in the plant beds." ing seasons. In each case, application of methyl bromide and Inline in con- junction with metalized film greatly increased retention of the fumigant in the plant beds, providing effec- tive control of soil-borne pests. especially hard-to-control weeds such as nutsedge, he said. w Effective nutsedge control was obtained with 175 pounds of methyl bromide per acre under metalized film, which was superior .t to that obtained with 350 pounds of fumigant per acre under conven- lional polyethylene film. "\\While it is possible to use either metalized or %irtuaix imper- meable film to reduce methyl bro- mide application rates by one-half, success involves more than just lay- ing the film over the plant bed and I reducing the amount of the fumi- t gant," Gilreath said "Success requires close monitoring of the fumigant delivery s stem to make sure that the gas is applied uniform- ly in the bed through all three gas knives." He said non-uniform applica- tion guarantees poor l'umigant per- formance at an\ iate, and the downside results can be even more . dramatic with reduced rates of methyl bromide. Before trying rate reductions, growers should modify their fumigation equipment to. allow better control over uniformi- ty of flow, which can mean the dif- ference between success and fail- ure. Meanwhile, until,an effective replacement for methyl bromide is found, growers are also relying on critical ,use exemptions granted by the United Nations Environmental Programme on a year-to-year basis.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, January 19, 2006 .......... ,i -- 4 - v _wm UF survey shows Florida farmland values increased GAINESVILLE Demand for land by developers, investors and speculators pushed the value of agricultural land to record levels in all regions of the state during the past year, according to a new Uni- versity of Florida survey. Prices of agricultural land increased by 50 percent to 88 per- cent across the state, and most of the farmland is not being pur- chased for agricultural purposes, said John Reynolds, a professor with UF's Institute of Food and Agri- cultural Sciences, who conducts the annual Florida Agricultural Land Value Survey. "We've seen a sharp run-up in farmland prices over the past few years, and now we're beginning to see an increase in land speculation by out-of-town buyers, developers and foreign investors. And there's also a strong demand for rural homesites," he said. "When you consider the volatility of the stock market, coupled with rising interest. rates, land is a very attractive invest- ment some people buy and flip property for quick gain." Reynolds' 2005 survey, which measures changes over the past year, divides the state into five regions: south, southeast, central, northeast and northwest Because of the impact urbanization has on agricultural land values, the data for the southeast region, including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are confined to transition land values. He said the survey indicates that the average value of agricultural land ranges from about $2,700 per acre for unimproved pasture and farm woods in Northwest Florida to almost $10,000 per acre for orange groves in Central and South Florida. The value of grapefruit groves increased 88 percent in the south region of the state and 81 percent in the central region, largely because of crop loss from hurricanes, he said. The value of orange groves increased 52 percent to 53 percent in the central and south regions. The average value of orange groves was $9,956 per acre in the south region about $150 per acre higher than in the central region. The estimated value of grapefruit groves was $9,897 per acre in the south region about $1,705 per acre higher than in the central region..The value of land with 5-7- year-old citrus plantings was $8,944 per acre in the south region -$83 per acre higher than in the central region. In all regions of the state, the value of other types of cropland als6 increased by as much as 85 percent, and the value of pasture- land increased by as much as 87 percent. In the south region, the value for cropland and pastureland increased from 66 percent to 81 percent, respectively, Reynolds said. The largest increases were in the Indian River area, Okeechobee County and the Gulf Coast coun- ties. Cropland and pastureland in other regions also posted big increases: 78 percent to 82 percent in the central region; 69 percent to 85 percent in the northwest region, and 69 percent to 87 percent in the northeast region." The value of irrigated cropland increased by 67 percent in the south region, 85 percent in the northeast region of the state and 83 percent in the northwest region. The value of irrigated cropland was $6,509 per acre in the south.region, $6,356 per acre in the northeast region and $4,012 per acre in the northwest region. The value of non-irrigated crop- land increased 69 percent in the northeast and northwest regions. The value of non-irrigated cropland was $4,490 per acre in the north- east region and $3,332 in the north- west region. The., value of pastureland increased about 81 percent in the south region and 78 percent to. 82 percent in the central region. The value of improved pasture increased 85 percent to 87 percent in the northern regions. The value of unimproved pasture increased 76 percent in the northeast and 82 percent in the northwest. The value of improved pasture ranged from $3,337 per acre in the northwest region to $6,426 per acre in the central region. The value unimproved pasture ranged from $2,645 per acre in the northwest region to $4,715 per acre in the south region. The value of .farm woods, increased 81 percent in the north- east region and 84 percent in the northwest region. The lowest agri- cultural land values .were in the northwest region, ranging from $2,645 per acre for unimproved pasture to $4,012 per acre for irri- gated cropland. The survey also measures the value.of transition land acreage being converted or likely to be con- verted to nonagricultural sites for homes, subdivisions and commer- cial uses. Counties were divided into metropolitan and non-metro- politan counties, and transition land values were estimated for each region. The value of transition land. within five miles of a major town in metropolitan counties increased from 31 percent to 120 percent from 2004 to 2005, Reynolds said. Within 'five miles of a major town in metro counties, the value of transition land ranged from $18,423 per acre to $46,481 per acre.

Water management employees are set to run for a remedy WEST PALM BEACH Run- ning can be painful and exhaust- ing. However, exhaustion is sure to be replaced with exhilaration' as 198 South Florida Water Manage- ment District team members run the race to find a remedy for breast cancer in the South Florida Komen Race for the Cure(r). "District employees have always supported this particular cause, but response for the Jan. 21 West Palm Beach race this year has been over- whelming," said District employee Kathie Morris, a breast cancer sur- vivor and co-coordinator of employee fund-raising efforts for the race. "Our 198-member team includes '46 competitive runners - 28 womert and 18 men," she added. The District has won the desig- nation as largest governmental team for the past two years and hopes to achieve this honor for the third year in a row The event is the culmination of months of fund-rais- ing activities, which have included sales of baked goods, breast cancer awareness-themed merchandise, and other donated items. .Governing Board' member and breast cancer survivor, Alice J. Carlson, serves as Honorary Co- Chair for District events alongside Governing Board Vice-Chair, Irela Bagu. Carlson knows firsthand the great work that gets accom- plished by events like Race for the Cure. "District employees, as alMays, can be counted on for their generosity of both time and money in support ol charitable organizations such as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Founda- lion," she said ' Last year more than 130 District employees registered for the race and $8,225 was raised from all events to contribute to the cancer foundation. This year's total - amount won't be tallied until after the race on Jan. 21. While topping last year's number would sugar coat this year's effort, the .real delight comes from joining \itlh breast cancer survivors to provide support and resources for others traveling the breast cancer journey. Seventy-five percent of the money raised from the race stays right here in our community and 25'1 is donated to the national Komen Foundation exclusively for national research grants and awards.

Bronson has received word from top U.S. Department of Agriculture officials that they no longer believe that it is possible to eradicate citrus canker. USDA's position was formally com- municated in a letter from Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner. Officials said Jan. 11, based on USDA's sci- entific analysis of the potential spread of the disease from the unprecedented 2004 and 2005 hur- ricane seasons, a new manage- ment plan must be devised.. The USDA officials said the pro- gram needs to undertake a new approach that focuses on. maintain- ing bacteria levels low enough to sustain citrus production and pro- tect citrus groves that have not been infested with canker. In the mean- time, USDA states that it will no longer fund tree removal that is done with eradication as the goal. The federal agency, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Agri- culture and Consumer Services, intends to develop a response plan with scientific, industry and public input that will limit further tree removal and implement manage- ment practices that will accomplish the goals of controlling and sup- pressing canker infestations. "I am committed to working with our federal partner, the scientif- ic community and growers on steps to ensure the continued sustainabil- ity of this industry, so critical to the economic well being of our state, as well as protecting the thousands of residential trees that have not yet been impacted by citrus canker," Mr. Bronson said. "I will make all resources available to determine where we go to secure the future of the citrus industry." The change comes after a review of scientific research that indicates Hurricane Wilma may have spread the disease to the point where an estimated 168,000 to 220,000 aces of commer- cial citrus could be infected and exposed to canker. This is in addi- tion to the more than 80,000 acres of commercial citrus that was affected by the 2004 hurricanes. The USDA also indicates that Brazilian orange juice is now dumped in U.S. market LAKELAND The U.S. Department of Commerce released their final decision on Jan. 9, in the investigation of a petition filed by a coalition con- sisting of Florida Citrus Mutual and a group of Florida-based orange juice processors, includ- ing A. Duda & Sons, Inc., Citrus World, Inc. and Southern Gar- dens Citrus, requesting that antidumping duties be levied to offset the unfair prices offered by Brazilian processors on orange juice. The Department ruled that Brazilian processors were dumping frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) and not- from-concentrate (NFC) orange juice, by the price margins of 10 to 60 percent of the export value of the juice. Imports of NFC and FCOJ will continue to be assessed an antidumping deposit upon entry into the U.S. "We are gratified by the Department's confirmation of our assumptions that Brazilian orange juice has been dumped into the U.S. market for years," said Andy LaVigne, Florida Cit- rus Mutual's executive vice president/CEO. "Although hurri- canes and canker have caused recent problems for the indus- try, if dumping were to persist, Florida growers would experi- ence severe long-term, negative price impacts that could jeop- ardize their very livelihood." The International Trade Commission (ITC), which is jointly reviewing the petition with the Commerce Depart- ment, will hold their final hear- ing tomorrow, and make their. final decision by February, on whether imports have caused material injury to the industry. The petition .was filed on Dec. 27, 2004 and cites unfair trade practices, ,which have caused material injury to Flori- da citrus growers and proces- sors during the past three years. Florida Citrus Mutual, found- ed in 1948, is the state's largest citrus grower organization with more than 10,000 members. The Florida citrus industry pro- vides a $9:1 billion annual eco- nomic impact to the state,. employs nearly 90,000 people and provides 650,000 acres of green space. For more informa- tion, please visit w\uw.flcitrusmutual.com. growers have said they cannot sur- vive the loss of more than 25 per- cent of the state's citrus acreage and that federal costs to implement the 1,900-foot tree removal would cost significantly more than the annual $36 million federal appro- priation as well as hundreds of mil- lions of dollars more in compensa- tion payments to growers. The USDA has provided a significant portion of the funding for the Citrus Canker Eradication Program and all of the grower compensation since its inception in 1995. "Unfortunately, everything the scientists predicted has come true," Mr. Bronson said. "The legal delays and unprecedented hurricanes -enabled the bacteria to leapfrog TALLAHASSEE Grocery shoppers in the United Kingdom are seeing their winter days bright- ened by a ray of Florida sunshine. Waitrose a prominent retail chain with 180 stores throughout the U.K.- is featuring fresh Flori- da grapefruit, sweet corn and blueberries as part of a marketing campaign developed by the Flori- da Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services that runs through May. "The United Kingdom market- ing promotion is the latest in, our series of campaigns to increase sales of Florida-grown agricultur- al' products both domestically and abroad,". Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bron- son said. "In the past five years, these marketing efforts have helped boost retail sales by more than $1 billion. That's good news for Florida's growers and our state's economy" significantly beyond the 1,900-foot cutting zone that science showed was necessary to prevent spread under normal weather conditions." In addition, Mr. Bronson pledged to continue his efforts to convince the Legislature and USDA to provide compensation for homeowners arid growers who have already had trees removed. He will be requesting additional funding for homeowners during the 2006 legislative session and will be working with USDA to secure money for growers who are cur- rently on a waiting list for federal compensation dollars. As a result of the USDA decision, the Florida Legislature will have to revisit the laws that guide the Citrus Each Florida product will be featured for two or more weeks during the campaign. Promotions will include in-store samplings,' recipe cards, and feature articles in Waitrose's magazine which reaches hundreds of thousands of British consumers. In addition, the department's executive chef will conduct demonstrations in Wait- rose's flagship outlets that have kitchen and audience facilities. The events are designed to draw shoppers, media representatives, chefs and restaurant owners. This year's expanded Waitrose campaign follows 2005's pilot program that featured Florida sweet corn exclusi eh'. As a result of in-store samplings and dernon- strations, \\aitrose reported a 125 percent increase in sales of Flori- da swveel corn versus the same period in 2004. The pilot program cost $26,100 with Waitrose and the department each paying half., Canker Eradication Program, notably the requirement that the Department remove infected citrus trees and those exposed because they are located within 1,900 feet.

Mr. Talcott is studying the potential health benefits of antioxidants found in acai berries, a popular ingredient in beverages and dietary supplements. GAINESVILLE A Brazilian berry popular in health food con- tains antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells in a recent University of Florida (UF) study, one of the first to investi- gate the fruit's purported benefits. Published last week in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH'-ee) berries triggered a'" self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant pro- fessor with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. "Acai berries are already consid- ered one of the richest fruit sources of antioxidants," Mr. Talcott said. "This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries." He cautioned that the study, funded by UF sources, was not intended to show whether com- pounds found in acai berries could prevent leukemia in people. "This was only a cell-culture model and we don't want to give anyone false hope," Mr. Talcott said. "\\e are encouraged by the findings, however. Cormpounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bod- ies." Other fruits, including grapes, guavas and mangoes, contain antioxidants shown to kill cancer cells in similar studies, he said. Experts are uncertain how rriuch effect antioxidants have on cancer cells in the human body, because factors such as nutrient absorption, metabolism and the influence of other biochemical processes may influence the antioxidants' chemi- cal activity.. Another UF study, slated to con- clude in 2006, will investigate the effects of acai's antioxidants on healthy human subjects, Mr. Tal- cott said. The study will determine how well the compounds are absorbed into the blood, and how they may affect blood pressure, cholesterol levels and related health indica- tors. So far, only fundamental research has been done on acai berries, which contain at least 50 to 75 as-yet unidentified com- pounds. "One reason so little is known about acai berries is that they're perishable and are traditionally used immediately after picking," he said. "Products made with processed acai berries have only been available for about five years, so researchers in many parts of the world have had little or no oppor- tunityto study them." Mr. Talcott said UF is one of the first institutions outside Brazil with personnel studying acai berries. Besides Mr. Talcott, UF's acai research team includes Susan Per- cival, a professor with the food sci- ence and human.nutrition depart- ment, David Del Pozo-Insfran, a doctoral student with the depart- ment and Susanne. Mertens-Tal- cott, a postdoctoral associate with the pharmaceutics department of UF's College of Pharmacy. Acai berries are produced by a palm tree known scientifically as Euterpe oleracea, common in flood- plain areas of the Amazon River, Mr. Talcott said. When ripe, the berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry. They contain a thin layer of edible pulp surrounding a large seed. Historically, Brazilians have used acai berries to treat digestive disorders and skin conditions, he said. Current marketing efforts by retail merchants and Internet busi- nesses suggest acai products can help consumers lose weight, lower cholesterol and gain energy. "A lot of claims are being made; but most of them haven't been tested scientifically," said Mr. Tal- cott, "We. are just beginning to understand the complexity of the acai berry and its health-promot- ing effects."

With-this' month's federal ban on most uses of methyl bromide, Univer- sity of Florida (UF)scientists are searching for alternatives to the widely used soil fumigant that is essential for the production' of fruits, vegetables and. ornamen- tals in Florida and the nation. The fumigant, methyl bromide, which controls soil pests and weeds, was banned by the Envi- ronmental Protection Agencylin response to the Montreal Proto- col international. treaty-.because. the chemical harms the Earth's ozone layer, reducing its ability to protect the planet from radiation. Only a few emergency uses of the fumigant are still permitted. "Finding a replacement that will be as cost-effective as methyl bromide is proving to be difficult, but we do have some promising new materials and approaches to help growers pro- tect their crops and the environ- ment," said Jim Gilreath, a pro- fessor of horticultural sciences at UF's Institute of Food and Agri- cultural Sciences. "As we continue to look for alternatives for methyl bromide, we have found that the use of new virtually impermeable film and metalized film covers on plant beds allow growers to reduce their use' of the fumigant by as much as 50 percent," he said. "When it comes to holding or keeping fumigants in the soil, these high-barrier mulch films are far superior to conventional polyethylene mulch films that have been used by growers for the past 30 years." Mr. Gilreath, who leads the soil fumigation research pro- gram at UF's Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Wimau- ma, said his research findings were quickly adopted by growers this year. Almost every tomato farm in Florida is now using met- alized film on some part of its acreage along with the one-half rate of methyl bromide. "In fact, several,of the larger torimat:' producers shifted all of their acr_-age to metalized llrn in there ...ulth.e'ist from Florida to the Delmarva peninsula in Vir- ginia based onwresu.. '*om our research," Mr. Gilreath ,ul. -'Growers have been very-satis- fied with the results and plan to continue using the highly reten- tive films." He said the savings in the cost of methyl bromide along with more equitable distribution of limited supplies of the fumigant and reduced impact on the ozone layer have made this approach very successful.
