Summer brings more fees


By Ideybis Gonzalez
MOORE HAVEN In a
recent interview with Glades
County Manager Wendell Taylor,
the topic of impact fees was dis-
cussed once again..
This is a continuation of that
subject relating to how funds
from the impact fees can be
used by the county.
Impact fees are recognized as
one time fees charged on a


development to offset the costs
of bringing public services such
as roads, utilities, parks and
schools to service the particular
development.
Mr. Taylor said, "I want to get
the word out about impact fees,
which are effective July 1, 2006,
and that's right around the cor-
ner."
It is very crucial for the com-
munity to be educated about.the
impact fees and where the
money would go that would


benefit our community, accord-
ing to the county manager.
According to a summary of
recommendations prepared by
Dr. James C. Nicholas, PhD who:
says, all funds collected from
impact fees shall be used for the
purpose of capital improve-
ments to and expansion in
Glades County, and any munici-
pality within Glades County and
the state ofFlorida.
I was also mentioned that a
building permit expires without


commencement of construc-
tion, then the fee payer shall be
entitled to a refund, without
interest, of the impact fee paid as
a condition for its issuance
except that the county shall
retain five percent of the fee to
offset a portion of the cost ofcol-.
lection and refund. The fee payer
must submit an application for
such a refund within 30 days of
the expiration of the permit.
County Manager Wendell
Taylor advises the community


and new buyers to take advan-
tage of time, and if you are think-
ing of building in Glades County,
now is the time to do it, before
the impact fee's effective date of
July 1.
"Remember the impact fees
are for new construction. If you
are already here you don't pay
impact fees. If you have or buy a
vacant lot and choose to take the
vacant lot and build a new house
or business, then impact fees
apply," said Mr. Taylor.


Glades County



Democrats



on the move


Editor's note: The Glades
County Democrat also encour-
ages county republicans to
share their information.
MOORE HAVEN The
newly formed Democratic
Executive Committee of Glades
County is gearing up for this
election season. With the help
of State Senator Dave Aron-
berg, chairman of the Florida
Mainstream Democrats, a reor-
ganization meeting was held in
October 2005. Ellen Hawk
Geake, elected chairperson at
the meeting, predicts a new
Democratic movement in
Glades County.
Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Jim Davis has
appointed Mary Giddens of
Moore Haven to spearhead his


"We need to organize
and get people out to
vote for the September
5. 2006 primary and
the November 7, 2006
general election."
Ellen Hawk Geake,
chairperson

Glades County Campaign.
"We have two excellent
Democratic candidates for
Governor in Jim Davis and Rod
Smith, and I know Mary will do
a great job for Congressman
Davis," says Ms. Geake.

Corps debuts



the Everglades



plan at PBCC


By Jose Jesus Zaragoza
BELLE GLADE At $10
billion, the Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration Pro-
ject is the largest environmen-
tal rehabilitation project in the
world today. With those bil-
lions pledged toward restor-
ing the natural water
resources in the Everglades,
the project also symbolizes
the promise of jobs and
money that the local commu-


nities can potentially tap into.
The problem is that some
people today, including many
residents in the area, don't
completely understand the
project, its purpose, or what
potential benefit the average
person can expect to see from
the 30-year plan.
In an effort to change that
locally, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers debuted the Ever-

MOORE HAVEN -- The
Glades County Health Depart-
ment sponsored the annual
Glades County Step Up Florida
Bridge Walk last week in an
effort to further promote better
health within the county..


The bridge leading into
Moore Haven was crawling with
Glades County citizens ranging
from educators, to students, to
law enforcement, to health offi-
cials, to the overall citizenry of
Glades County.


The Step Up Florida program
is designed to promote health
lifestyles, an ongoing focus withinn
the county as the Glades County
Health Department continues its
focus on improving the quality of
life for Glades County's residents.


Ms. Skyler Burke


wins top award


BRIGHTON It was Skyler
Burke's first year in 4-H and she
walked away with the award of
Grand Champion Steer at the
20th Annual Seminole 4-H Youth
Livestock Show and Sale, which
took place March 23 and 24, at
Brighton Seminole Reservation.
"It was very hard work for.
her," said Skyler's mother, Con-
nie Haught. "She worked with
her steer everyday. The show
and sale was stressful, so much
to do, but it turned out to be one
of the best things that has hap-
pened to her so far. She was very
excited and we never expected
it."
Skyler showed her 1,190-
pound Angus cross she named
"Trixter" and it was an excep-
tional animal that even the
judge, Brian Dreyden said he
would buy. The judge told the
audience during the show that


Trixter had a lot of muscle mass
and was really filled out a
very "finished" steer.
Nine-year-old Skyler is in the
4th Grade at Moore Haven Ele-
mentary School where the
perky youngster is on the honor
roll and excels in her citizenship.
Skyler raised the most money at
the school for the Renaissance
Reading Program, in which half
the money went to Katrina vic-
tirs and the other half to the
school.
"Everyday after school, after
my homework, I had to lead
Trixter around about 30 minutes
a day," said Skyler. "I had to feed
him. We spent a lot of money on
feed. I really love my steer. You
can go right up to him and pet
him."
Part of her win may be due

TO THE RESIDENTS OF GLADES COUNTY
SAY "NO! TO A LANDFILL in MOORE HAVEN
We are writing this letter to inform all residents as well as non residents who
have a vested interest in Moore Haven of a project the City Council is working on.
The City of Moore Haven council is in negotiations with Republic Services a Solid
Waste company in putting in a LANDFILL in the City of Moore Haven. They are
at the stage of acquiring the land (Duda Farm property), annexing the land into the
City and establishing a DUMP in your community.

There are many articles on the internet about this company and how they have
destroyed other communities. PLEASE GET INVOLVED!!!!
Whether it be Republic or another firm do you want a Garbage dump inyour back
yard? Methane gas which landfills produce is a silent killer! Methane gas will be
generated for years after the landfill has reached capacity. All in your back yard.
That is just one issue- not factoring in truck traffic, illegal things being dumped into
the landfill, WATER CONTAMINATION, and a beautiful community being
known as the regional dumping ground, The City Council seems:to think it's a
great idea because the city has been promised they will receive millions from
Republic for letting them put a Dump in your back yard. No one has factored in
what cities have spent suing Republic for multiple violations. Again search the
internet. Though the millions promised might be a short term fix forth City,
There are better ways to increase revenues without destroying this quaint town
and beautiful County.
i-,
Garbage trucks from neighboring counties and cities w.il use this DUMP
Highway 78 and 27 will have more accidents because of truck traffic, Republic
also contacted Glades County with the same proposal and the County rejected
their offer, so the only way for Republic Waste to put a dump in this area is to have
it annexed into the city.

The City Council will meet and a small group of men will make a major deci-
sion for our community by advertising it in the local paper a few times (maybe) in
hopes the community doesn't respond so they can approve it. They will be long
gone after their decision and your children will have to deal with the problems that
could occur or the embarrassment that their community is the dumping grounds
for all the other communities, as you can tell we are against the LANDFILL. This
ad is in no way sponsored by the Glades County Democrat and we would like to
apologize to Mr. Young for any confusion. The purpose of the mass mailing was to
let the City Council who will do what ever they want unless YOU act and the
Glade County Democrat know your feelings, we felt the Glades County Democrat
would keep the council in check with what its citizens really want and demand.
Remember the Councilmen are elected officials and unless a very strong appeal is
made against he landfill YOU'RE GETTING A REGIONAL LANDFILL regard-


less of lake contamination, soil contamination, esthetics, and the countless other
problems it will bring. Voice your opposition by calling CITY HALL AT 863-946-
0711 or your County Commissioner Russell Echols at 863-946-6000. Write the
editors of this newspaper, contact all your elected officials SPEAK UP AND BE
HEARD.

Sincerely,
Gail Brown on behalf of concerned citizens against a Moore Haven Landfill

Life and death and life beyond death!


By The Reverend Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph.D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
My sister-in-law was working
in the kitchen and asked my
brother to help her. She called,
got angry, told him she was going
to throw the dinner down the sink
if he didn't come out to help and
finally went into the living room to
find him and give him a piece of
her mind.
What she found was a 30-year
old healthy, active young husband
passed out on the floor. That was
the beginning of a 17-year
odyssey that began with a trip to a
local emergency room, tests, the
advice that they should "live it up"
because he had six months to
live. Family intervention and the
belief that "we can do better than
that" led to more doctors, more
tests, surgery and 17 years more
life instead of six months. The first
death sentence was not the end
- it was a prelude to the belief
that there was something beyond
it-and therewas!
I have visited and prayed with


many patients over the years of
my ministry, dead in many ways,
then resurrected one day when
life returns and the prayers and
hopes of families are rewarded -
there really was a new life that fol-
lowed.
The Easter story is about a
group of followers on Calvary
who see a death sentence carried
out, expect the end and why
not! Jesus did what he came to
do, but He died, after all, and He
was buried! Then came a new
life, discovered "by accident"
because two women wish to pay
respect at his tomb. But the tomb
is empty and the world is
changed.
The Easter message is, "death
is not the end!" and life continues.
It takes, faith, but we can see it
around us in small ways every
day. Life is in the rebirth of spring-
time, the renewal of relationships
with'loved ones, the healing of
someone lost, the addition to a
family, the person who has led to
wasted life and finally "gets the
message", the finding of some-
thing or someone lost, the release


of a captive or the freedom of
someone imprisoned the East-
er story is all around us.
There is a certain ironic, wry
twist that goes with the Easter
story that I love you. You may
recall that Satan tempts Eve in the
Garden and tells her, "You will not
surely die for God knows that
when you eat of it (the apple)
your eyes will be opened. (Gene-
sis 3:4)."
In fact, in site of Eve's suc-
cumbing; God heals, God restores
- and Eve and the rest of us do
not die, but we live. We live, not
because of what evil brings us but
because what Eve, aid what all of
us hope for, comes in spite of the
best efforts of evil. It comes
because it is God's will and
because the Lord promised it, and
because the knowledge of faith
that we receive through the Easter
story.
Through all of the scared,sto-
ries is the story of life and the life
to come the real knowledge*
arid gift come from God. The devil
tempts Eve to share in what God
will give freely to live and to


know the victory is won, the life is
given.
The Bible ends with the book
telling us to listen to what the spir-
it says to the churches, "to him
who overcomes, I will give the
right to eat from the Tree of life,
which is in the paradise of God
(Revelation 2:7)"
Easter is when the Lord gave
us that right and we take time out
to remember and give thanks for
so great a gift. Those who have
gone before us follow in the
Lord's footsteps their tombs
are empty and they no longer live
in them.
Instead, they live with God
because he came, died and lived
again. When Lazarus died, Jesus
told his sister Martha, "I am the
resurrection and the life (JohnI11:
25)" and we now see just all of
what that means "resurrection"
that death is not the end because
Jesus has been raised, and "life"
because that is his gift to us life
goes on beyond this life and is
ours in eternity. Alleluia the Lord
is risen he has risen indeed!


All of us have a donkey we must ride


Submitted Photo/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The areas of the dike around Lake Okeechobee, which were
eroded by the winds and waves of Hurricane Wilma in Octo-
ber 2005 have been repaired with new lime rock fill and a
rock berm to prevent further damage until a permanent solu-
tion is put in place.


By Pastor John Hicks
First Lnited Methodist Church
Once again, we are coming up
to Easter: Once again, we are
coming up to tax time. Once
again Easter and taxes fall on the
same- week. Once again I find
myself thinking about our Easter
services, our .annual butterfly
release following those services,
and all of the other special Holy
Week activities while dealing with
the nagging weight that I need to
get our taxes done.
Once again, I find it ironic that
as I sit at my computer outlining
Easter messages and letters \with
my Bible opened to the passage
proclaiming, "He is not here, He is
risen", that I have next to them my
tax records for 2005 proclaiming,
"Here I am, send me!" With


apologies to the IRS, one seems
very heavenly and the other very
earthly. One minute I'm at Cal-
vary, the next I'm at my check-
book. The time I spend on one
seems worshipful, the other
worldly. One reminds how God
paid it all, and the other reminds,
that I have a lot to pay. In all of
this, I try to keep in mind the
words of Christ to render to: Cae-
sar the things that are Caesar's
and to God the things that are
God's. ..
But, once again, as I read the
Palm Sunda\' Scriptures, I find my
thoughts toward the guy who.
gave the donkey for Jesus to ride
into Jerusalem on that first Palm.
Sunday. We don't know his name
or what he looks like. We only
know that Jesus told His disciples
that, "If anyone asks you why you


are taking the donkeys, say that
the Master has need of them, and
he will send them at once."
Matthew 21:3
Did this guy just give his ani-
mals to someone in need, or did
he know itwas Jesus who needed
the donkey? Did he worry about
getting the donkey back? I won-
der about these things because
sometimes it's hard for me to give
as freely as I might. There are
times I like to keep my animals to
myself for my own use. Some-
times I get the impression that
God wants me to give Him some-
thing and sometimes I don't give
it because I'm not sure or it's not
convenient or I'm worried about
the security of getting back what I
am giving. Sometimes I feel like I
have missed opportunities Some-
times I wonder if my little deeds


and giving today will really make
a difference in the long run. Other:
times I hear and obey our Lord,
and feel honored that a gift of
mine would be used to0 carry.
Jesus forward.'
The reality is that all of us have
a donkey. You and I each have
something in our lives, which, if.
given back to God, could, like the'
donkey, move Jesus and his story
further down the road. Maybe you
can sing, or hug, or teach a class,
or visit a neighbor, or speak a for-
eign language. Maybe you can,
write a check. Whichever, that's'
your donkey. Whichever, it could
be that God wants to mount your
donkey and enter into another
place, another situation, another
heart.


Herbert Hoover Dike is rehabilitated


Significant erosion to the Herbert Hoover Dike was caused
by Hurricane Wilma in an area just south of Pahokee.


Hurricane Wilma


damage to dike repaired


By MaryAnn Morris

Repairs of the damage to the
Herbert Hoover Dike by Hurri-
cane Wilma in October 2005
were completed at the begin-
ning of December by the Army
Corps of Engineers (COE). The
(COE), responsible for mainte-
nance of the dike, made tempo-
rary repairs to the slope of the
dike adjacent to the lake across
from the airport just south of
Pahokee..
Hurricane Wilma's winds
caused waves on Lake Okee-
chobee such that the 70-year-old
dike, with its 1950s asphalt stabi-
lization, was seriously eroded in
an area behind the airport near'
Pahokee.
The eroded areas were
cleaned of debris, the adjacent
asphalt was. removed, new


crushed lime rock fill material
was brought in to reconstruct
the dike slope, new sod was
placed to cover the areas, and a
temporary rock berm was con-
structed at the bottom of the
slope to help break up any
waves from future storm events
until a more permanent solution
can be put in place.
"Currently, we are working
on designing that solution with
the hope that it can be put in
place before the summer," said
Jacob Davis, engineer for the
COE. "The solution will consist
of armor material (riprap, cable-
tied concrete blocks, or gabion
mattresses) covering the areas
that were damaged. It is our
intent to eventually provide new
armor protection after ripping
out all the asphalt as funding
permits."


By MaryAnn Morris

LAKE OKEECHOBEE The
U;S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) has the responsibility to
maintain the Herbert Hoover
Dike, which encircles 730-acre
Lake Okeechobee. A "rehabilita-
tion" of this 70-year-old flood-
control structure was begun by
the Corps last year. This construc-
tion, long in coming has taken'
years to obtain the necessary
funding and to gain the approval
of concerned environmental
groups and water managers.
"The Dike is designed for a
probable maximum flood eleva-
tion of 26 feet coupled with a 100-
year wind event with winds of 109
miles an hour," said Luis Ruiz, a
registered professional engineer
and Chief of the COE Geotechni-
cal Division.
"There has been some leak-
age, called 'piping' or 'boils' seen
since the 1980s. These areas are
repaired as they are observed,"
said Mr. Ruiz.
The Herbert Hoover Dike
Rehabilitation Project, is the long-
term solution. This solution was
produced after 19 years of study
and permit reviews since piping
was first seen in 1984.
A "cut-off wall" will be con-
structed on the landside of the
dike. It will be two feet thick,
impervious to seepage of water


and visible from the adjacent road
(U.S. 441 S). The top of the wall
will be at 26 feet above sea level.
The wall will extend down
through the dike to 10 feet below
sea level. This will prevent water
from the lake from seeping
through the dike. A gravel-filled
trench near the existing rim canal
at the bottom of the slope of the
dike will carry off water from the
slope of the dike below the cut-off
wall.
The work will be done section
by section under individual con-
tracts to best utilize the funds allo-
cated each Federal Budget year.
"There are 6,200 feet of wall
built on the first section (Reach 1-
A)," said Jacob Davis, of the COE.
"Reach 1-A extends roughly from
Port Myaka to Sand Cut. The
design documents for Reaches 1-
B and 1-C are about 60 percent
complete," continued Mr. Davis.
"This is where we look at different
solutions and methods and
decide what is best for this partic-
ular site."


Special to INI/
U.S. Army corps of Engineers
This location map shows
Reach One of the Herbert
Hoover Dike Rehabilitation.
Work on Reach One is pro-
gressing from Reach 1-A start-
ing at Port Myaca on the north
and will continue through
Reach 1-D, which ends near
the Torrey Island Bridge.
Reaches 1-B and 1-C will
extend south from Sand Cut
down to Culvert C-10 in Pahokee
just north of the Belle Glade Air-
port.
"We are also working on. the
plans and specifications for Reach
1-D," said Mr. Davis. "This will
pick up where Reach 1-C leaves
off and extend to Culvert C-351

Q: Dear Doc Savvy. My dog
has an excessive chewing prob-
lem! He will not stop chewing
his back left foot. This has been
going on for
about a
month. I took
him to my vet
and he said it
was a behav-
ioral thing to
do with bore-
dom. He did,
however, treat
him with corti- Doc
sone and Savvy
advised me to
play with him more and give him
more attention. Butchy is 12
years old and doesn't seem to
want to play all that much more.
I bought him some new toys,
treats, and a dog DVD that is sup-
posed to entertain him. Things
haven't changed all that much.
He still chews, and now has
chewed a hole in one toe in par-
ticular. Help, rny dog is eating his
foot! What do I do? Thanks Doc,
Jorge Sanchez in Loxahatchee.
A: Dear Jorge, this is some-
times a common thing! Three
things come to my mind here.
The first thing is what your vet
had told you. That condition is
called a lick granuloma. Licking,
which is excessive and causes a
wound in the area. It is usually
due to boredom or even habit


after a while. Secondly, I was
thinking about pain! Is Butchy
arthritic? Maybe his joints hurt
him and that is why he is licking
a lot. Talk to your vet about a
product called Metacam. Meta-
cam is a liquid, once-a-day anti-
arthritis product for dogs, and it
really works! The third thing I am
thinking of is a bit more serious.
Sometimes older dogs chew one
toe in particular due to cancer.
We call this condition "cancer
toe."
The type of cancer, which this
may be is a bone cancer called
osteosarcoma. This is a very
aggressive cancer, which does
spread. One way to diagnose this
is to take an X-ray of the affected
bone. A classic radiographic sign
called a "star burst" pattern on
the bone is almost 100-percent
diagnostic for this condition.
Sometimes a biopsy and
histopathology is indicated as
well. Jorge, if it is an osteosarco-
ma you want to diagnose it
ASAP. There are some treatment
options and the sooner you
move on it, the better Butchy's
chances will be. I hope it's not
cancer Jorge. Keep me posted
and best wishes, Doc Savvy.

Thursday, April 13, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


Former county


The Florida Department of
Law Enforcement announces the
arrest of Jose Serrano, 51, of
LaBelle, Fla. Serrano is charged
with official misconduct of a pub-
lic official, bribery by a public offi-
cial and public assistance fraud.
FDLE special agents and mem-
bers of FDLE's Fort Myers Phar-
maceutical Diversion Response
Team (DRT) took Serrano into
custody on March 16 after a
seven-month investigation.
FDLE financial crime investiga-
tors received information that Ser-
rano was using his authority as a
Hendry County Social Services
Case Manager to solicit prescrip-


tion narcotic pain medications
from clients. Investigators say dur-
ing a seven-month period in 2004,
Serrano falsi-
fied applica-
tions for clients
making them
eligible for the
Social Services
Community
Service Block
Grant Program
and the county
funded Emer- Jose
agency Assis- Serrano
tance Program
in return for narcotics such as
OxyContin and Xanex. Serrano


employee

allegedly attempted to bribe pro-
gram recipients with additional
food vouchers and cash from vari-
ous programs that he was respon-
sible for administering in
exchange for their prescription
pills. According to witnesses, he
harassed Social Services clients
on a daily basis in an attempt to
solicit the pills. Many recipients
complied, often delivering their
prescription drugs to Serrano at
his Social Services office located
in the Hendry County Court-
house. One recipient told investi-
gators he feared that if he did not
turn over his pain killers to Serra-
no that Serrano would cut off his


arrested

HUD housing and his family
would be left homeless.
Serrano is believed to have
fraudulently issued a total of
$2,486.81 in Hendry County
Social Services benefits during
this seven-month period. All three
charges that Serrano faces are
felonies.
The DRT is a task force made
up of state and federal agencies
that have authority to investigate
criminal misuse of prescribed
medications. This can include
doctors who illegally prescribe;
pharmacists who illegally distrib-
ute; and individuals who illegally
obtain prescription drugs.

HCSO brings down
another grow house
FLAGHOLE Intelligence
leads developed by the Criminal
Investigation Division of the
Hendry County Sheriff's Office
has led to the 11th bust of an ille-
gal Hendry County grow house


since February of 2005.
According to Sheriff Ronnnie
Lee, a search conducted at
approximately 10:20 a.m. on April
10, was made at 320 Kilpatrick
Loop in the Flaghole community
of Hendry County where investi-
gators discovered marijuana
plants ranging in size from two to
two to three feet tall.
The plants were being cultivat-
ed with elaborate electronic aided
equipment in two rooms of the
residence. The seizure of the
plants occurred just prior to har-
vest. Estimated value of the plants


is $45,000-$50,000.
The two people arrested both
were from Dade County. Yajaira
Irizarry, age 53, a Venezuelan citi-
zen in the U.S. on a work visa, and
Rafael Suarez-Perez, age 30, were
transported and booked into the
Hendry County Jail.
HCSO investigates
missing funds
LABELLE On April 6, the
clerk of Hendry County Court dis-
covered that approximately
$60,000 was unaccounted for and


requested that the Hendry County
Sheriff's Office conduct an inves-
tigation.
Sheriff Ronnie Lee said Lieu-
tenant Joe Lee and Investigator
William Griffin conducted the
investigation and, with the assis-
tance of Clerk of Court Barbara
Butler, determined the money
was taken by an employee. At the
conclusion of the investigation,
an employee, Angela Banda, age
31, was arrested and charged
with the theft. Bond was set at
$75,000.

proven track record as a principled
conservative and has the vision,
experience and passion to lead

glades Restoration Kiosk at the
Belle Glade campus of Palm
Beach Community College. The
kiosk, which is basically a com-
puter inside of a large cabinet,
takes the user through an ani-
mated, vivid trek through the
project and, in only a few min-
utes, is able to enlighten
strangers to the CERP.
It is a perfect way, Malissa S.
Booth, outreach specialist for
the corps of engineers, said, to
teach the local communities
exactly how the project, "Literal-
ly right in your background," will
affect the area.
Formally dubbed the CERP
Information Network Kiosk, the
display will be made available to
the general public at the site
through the summer. Represen-
tatives of the governmental
agencies working together on
the restoration project are hop-
ing that the kiosk will be well uti-
lized by local residents..
The kiosk has a user-friendly
touch screen that lets users navi-
gate through an easy menu that
details each part of the project.
According to the Corps, the
machine is designed with all
ages in mind, with children as
young as six able to use the
kiosk. "It's as simple as a bank

exhibited in the show ring. The
petite Skyler smiled at the
judges, at the crowd and for the
cameras,. as she led Trixter
around the ring and she won the
hearts of the crowd for her
showmanship, as well as han-
dling of the huge animal.
STrixter was picked last summer
from the herd of her uncle and
prominent Seminole cattleman,
Amos Tiger, as a calf weighing 625
pounds. For the next 192 days
Skyler kept meticulous records,
attended required 4-H monthly
meetings andweigh-ins.
Skyler and her mother want to
give special thanks to all the peo-
ple who helped the youngster

control it in the ring including

Brighton, and family friend,

Editor's note: This information
is the third part in a series on Pan-
demic Influenza provided by The
Hendry and Glades County
'Health Departments. The series
will cover basic information and
actions to be taken if Pandemic
Flu becomes a realistic threat to
: the citizens of Hendry and Glades
SCounty.
SHow can I protect myself from
S:-Bird Flu or other forms of flu?
SThe main way that illnesses
like colds and flu are spread is
from person to person in the res-
Spiratory droplets of coughs and
s- neezes. This is called "droplet
:spread". This happens when
droplets from the cough or
sneeze of an infected person
move through the air and are
deposited on the mouth or nose


of people nearby. Germs are also
spread when a person touches
the respiratory droplets that have
been deposited on a desk or other
surface and then touch their own
eyes, mouth or nose before wash-
ing their hands.
While there is no vaccination
currently available for bird flu, the
following simple steps can help
prevent any flu and limit the
spread of infection.
Wash your hands often.
Hands should be washed for 15-
20 seconds; about the amount of
time it takes to sing the "Happy
Birthday" song twice.
Each time you cough or
sneeze, cough or sneeze into a tis-
sue, throw the tissue away and
wash your hands.
If you don't have a tissue,


sneeze or cough into your sleeve.
Stay away from people who
are sick.
Teach your children to wash
their hands frequently with soap
and water and cover their cough.
Stay home from work and
school if sick.
When soap and water are
not available, alcohol-based
wipes or gel sanitizers may be
used.
*When traveling, avoid places
where avian flu is more likely to
be transmitted.

to provide as much information
as you can about your medical
history, especially if you have a
serious health condition or aller-

U.S. Border

Patrol will

help citrus
Florida citrus growers are
greatly encouraged by the
supportive nature of an alert
issued by the U.S. Customs &
Border Protection Department
of Homeland Security yester-
day. The alert issued to all sta-
tions called for their officers to
be on the lookout for parcels
and.or other shipments con-
taining citrus plant material
during passenger baggage
inspection, mail facility
inspections, etc. This action
follows the state of Florida's
recent announcement allow-
ing the re-planting of citrus in
areas formerly quarantined for
Citrus Canker.
"If anything, this is clear
evidence that they recognize
the threat posed to the Florida
Citrus Industry: stemming
from the desire of local citi-
zens to replant citrus in resi-
dential areas and the possibili-
ty of persons smuggling
propagative citrus materials
from outside the United States
to meet this demand," said Pat
Gomes, National Coordinator
for the Citrus Health Response
Plan, USDA, APHIS PPQ.

Mico reports improved second quarter earnings


LABELLE --Alico, Inc. (NAS-
SDAQ: ALCO), a leading landhold-
er and agribusiness company,
announced net earnings for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2006
of $2.7 million, or $0.36 per
share, compared with breakeven
results during the same period of
the prior year.
For the sLx months ended Feb-
ruary 28, 2006, net earnings were
$3.8 million, or $0.52 per share,
compared with $1.0 million, or
$0.13 per share, for the six
months ended February 28,2005.
Operating revenues during the
second quarter totaled $21.5 mil-
.lion, compared with $19.4 mil-
lion for the second quarter of the
Prior year; This increase was pri-
marily due to increased revenues
from citrus operations resulting
from revenues earned by the
company's newly acquired sub.
sidiary, Bowen Brothers Fruit,
LLC ("Bowen").
Operating revenues for the six
months ended February 28. 2006
were $28.2 million, compared
with $27.0 million for the same
period of the prior year.
Pretax income from opera-
Stions was $3.6- million lor- the
quarter, compared with a loss of
$0.9 million for the same quarter
of 2005. The increase was prima-
rily due to a favorable change in
Estimate of $2.9 million resulting


from crop recoveries previously
recognized as casualty losses.
Addressing the divisional
results, Chairman : and Chief
Executive Officer John R. Alexan-.
dernotedthat:
The Citrus division recorded
profits of $1.8 million and $2.4
million for the quarter and six
months ended February\ 2s, 2006,
respectively, compared uith $0.9
million and $1.7 million during
the same periods in 2005. This
increase is primarily attributable
to a price increase for citrus fruit
across the industry that has
resulted from the reduced citrus
supply caused b\ hurricanes, cit-
rus canker finds and increased
real estate development in the
central and southern portions of
Florida. On February 1,3, 2006,
Alico, through Bowen, pur-
chased the assets of Bowen
Brothers Fruit Co., Inc Bowen's
operations generated revenues of
$5.7 million and expenses of $5.7
million from the date of acquisi-
tion tp February 28, 2006.
Sugarcane and sod generat-
ed a profit of $0.3 million for the
three months ended February 28,
2ut6, cprn-paJei with brea.ke en
results for the same period during
the prior year. For the sLx months
ended February 28, 2006 and
2005, the sugarcane and sod divi-
sion generated a loss of $0.3 mil-


lion and a profit of $0 million,
respectively. The current loss was
primarily attributable to the rising
price of fertilizer and adjustments
made to the Company's invento-
ried sugarcane crop, % which \were
charged to cost of sales, for the six
months ended February 28,2006.
Cattle profits were $0.1 mil-
lion and $0 6 million for the three
and sLx months ended February
28, 2006. respectively, compared
with $0.5 million and $0.7 million
for the same periods during 2005,
when the company sold more of
its calf crop to take advantage of
record high prices for calves.
Prices for beef cattle generally
have improved during the current
year compared with the prior year
($0.82 per pound, average
received on all cattle sold for the
first sLX months of fiscal year 2006,
compared with $0.77 per pound
average for the first six months of
fiscal 2005). The overall price
increase has served to offset the
reduced number of cattle sold
The Company also sells veg-
etable transplants through its
subsidiary, Alico Plant World,
LLC, sells native plants from its
ranch location and sells corn andr
beans from its farming opera-
tions. Income from these opera-
tions totaled $0.4 million and $0.1
million for the three and six
months ended February 28, 2006,


respectively, compared with $0.1
million and $0.2 million for the
same periods in 2005

Clewiston Dixie


League underway


By Mark Young
CLEWISTON Clewiston's
Dixie League softball season is fast
underway, as young athletes took
to the clay diamond for softball
action beginning April 3.
Clewiston's traveling Dixie
Belles' Howell Oil, led by head
coach Kenneth Howell, saw his
young squad take an opening sea-
son loss to HCFL, coached by Trip
Whidden, despite some solid early
season hurling by pitchers Bonnie
SCortez and Sarah Howell. Taking
the mound for HCFL in the season
openerwas young Zoe Perry.
Howell Oil opened up an early
advantage and held it until the third
inning when HCFL's bats came to
life to assume the lead for good, but
the Howell Oil squad launched a
comeback bid in the final inning
when Christina Sandoval came to
bat with the tying run standing on
second base.
With HCFL holding a slim 6-5
advantage, Sandoval launched a fly
ball single over the shortstop's
head. The Howell Oil runner took
off and receivedthe go Signal as she
made the game tying attempt to
score, but HCFL's Lovely Aviles


threw a rocket to home plate,
which was caught by catcher Dee-
Andra Trottie who laid down a per-
fect tag for the final out of the
game, securing HCFL's victory.
HCFL (Hendry County Fair and
Livestock) took their momentum
into LaBelle where the Clewiston
squad downed the LaBelle Gators
by a score of 3-1 with former
Clewiston standout Samantha
Ortiz, .who recently moved to
LaBelle taking the mound for the
Gators and accounted for LaBelle's
only run of the game after drawing
walk and stealing the bases to put
her in position for the score.
Ortiz's run held up for much of
the game before Clewiston awoke
their thunder sticks and had their
late game offensive efforts backed
up by solid pitching from Perry and
great defense from Janeria Hatcher
who thwarted an inside-the-park
homerun with a great throw from
the outfield. Hatcher would also be
responsible for the game-winning
hit when she drilled a two-run dou-
ble to give HCFL the advantage,
which would hold up for HCFL's
second straight victory.
The two Clewiston squads will
have matched up once again by
press time.

Community rallies for Rubio and Reynolds


CLEWISTON On March 25,
many members of Clewiston
pulled together to raise funds for
two in our community that have
recently suffered tragedies.
Bobbi Jo (Clark) Rubio was in a
severe auto accident earlier this
month that has left her with severe
injuries and she is still in the hospi-
tal. Earl Reynolds suffered third-
degree burns over a tremendous
portion of his body due to a weld-
ing accident.
In just a few days, a benefit bar-
beque was arranged and held to
raise money to help in offsetting the
medical bills for Bobbi Jo and Earl.
The exact amount has yet to be
determined, as some money and
donations are still coming in, but
thousands of dollars were raised,
and this project was only success-
ful due to the hard work and self-
lessness of many of our communi-
tymembers.
Allen Barfield spearheaded the


event, and deserves a great deal of
the credit for the barbeque occur-
ring. Others who were of great help
during this time were Bo Austin,
Tim and Shannon Reynolds of Pig
In Pig Out BBQ, Penny Barton, Bob
and Judy Dunham, Ziegler Norter,
Wayne Shaw, Steve Clark, Joyce
Rice, Spike, and everyone who
helped sell tickets or serve the
meals on Saturday.
Thanks also to the Clewiston
Elks Lodge for the use of their facili-
ties as the food was being prepared
prior to Saturday. There were lots of
others who helped, and we apolo-
gize if anyone was left off of this list.
An event like this shows why
Clewiston is America's Sweetest
Town, because when tragedy
strikes, Clewiston residents are
always ready to lend a hand.
Thanks to everyone who helped,
bought tickets or dinners, or donat-
ed to this cause.

Chugging out the great food at the fundraiser barbeque, was

The second annual old-fashioned cakewalk benefit


PAHOKEE Last year the
staff and residents at Glades
Health Care Center in Pahokee,
invited- their friends and neigh-
bors to join them for a delicious
and fun afternoon and now they
are doing it again. The 2nd annu-
al GHCC Cake walk is took place
April 12, from 2-4 p.m. Last year
over $1,100 was raised.
As a non-profit organization,
what they lack in money they
have in heart at Glades Health
Care Center. The commitment to
excellence in providing loving
care and a nice place for their res-
idents continues. This year the
event was designed to raise funds
to continue renovations to GHCC.

ing etc. would be greatly appre-

Hope Hospice works to inform


FORT MYERS Although it
has been a year since the death
of Terri Schiavo, discussion of
this family tragedy continues
nationwide, even worldwide.
The bitter disagreement
between Terri's husband and
her parents over her life support
reached the Governor, Congress,
the Supreme Court, the White
House and the Vatican. At the
heart of the issue: In what doc-
tors called, a persistent vegeta-
tive state, Terri was unable to
speak for herself, and she left no
..written instructions for her care.
According to Samira K. Beck-
with, President and CEO of
Hope Hospice, "The one good
thing about this is that it has led
families to realize the impor-
tance of being prepared for the
end of life. No one needs to suf-


fer as Terri's family has."
However, a recent national.
study reveals that even though
more than 70 percent of Ameri-
cans had given thought to end-
of-life care, only 29 percent have
a living will.
Beckwith says that number
will improve, as indicated by
Hope's steady stream of
requests for information and
materials about preparing for
future health care needs and
wishes. "This advance planning.
also known as 'Advance Direc-
tives' and other terms, refers to
your instructions, both oral and
written, about your medical care
in the event you are unable to
speak for yourself."
in response to the communi-
ty's interest in Advance Direc-
ti es, members of Hope's Speak-


ers Bureau make presentations
to groups upon request, to dis-
cuss questions that each person
should ask themselves about
end-of-life care, and to explain
how to prepare the simple docu-
ments. For more information,
call (239) 433-8066.
Hope's Advance Directives
booklet can be accessed at
www.hopehospice.org
http:,.',www.hopehospice.org/.

Advance Directives.
"We know from experience
that peace of mind is essential to.
comfort at the end of life," Beck-
with said. "Advance planning
can make a significant differ-
ence in your life and in the lives
of those you love."


other not for profit organizations
- this year the staff decided to
do something for the people
they work with, work for and
love. The staff at GHCC continue
their own fundraising efforts for
their residents. Generosity
begins in the home.
Drew Shimkus, director of
Therapeutic Recreation at Glades
health Care Center went on to
explain that many of the residents
here GHCC would not have any-
where else to go if not for Glades
Health Care Center. The majority
of long-term care residents


would be homeless if not for this
nursing home in the Glades area.
The staff of Glades Health Care
Center loves their residents and
consider them to be members of
their Family.
"The people who live here at
Glades Health Care are our
grandparents, parents, neigh-
bors, teachers, and friends. So
many of our staff members know
the residents they work with from
their own childhoods. We are
proud of the therapeutic relation-
ship our staff members have with
our residents/family members


here at Glades Health Care Cen-
ter," said Mr. Shimkus.
.GHCC is located at 230 South
Barfield Highway and has been
providing services to this com-
munity for the better part of 20
years. As a member of the not for
profit organization Okeechobee
Council on Aging, Inc. Glades
Health Care and it's sister facili-
ties in Bradenton and Gainesville
provide much needed medical
services to over 500 Florida resi-
dents.yearly.

Monroe Lightsley family really lived on Eagle Bay


Edited by MaryAnn Morris
From 1977 until her death in
2003, Independent Newspapers
of Florida was privileged to have
on staff a superb writer and his-
torian, Twila Valentine. Mrs.
Valentine wrote much about the
history of the people and places
around Lake Okeechobee and
about the lake itself. Together
with Okeechobee's Betty
Williamson, President of the
Okeechobee Historical Society,
she co-authored a book, now in
its second printing, "Strolling
down Country Roads in Okee-
chobee."
This week's story comes
from an interview she conduct-
ed with three members of the
Monroe Lightsley family.
The family came to Okee-
chobee around 1919 or 1920
recalled Monroe's wife, Martha
Ann Rebecca Storey Lightsley in
1989. Annie, as she was known
and Monroe came with seven of
the 10 children that eventually
made up the large family.
"We was living on Istopoga
Lake," said Annie. "We lived on
the north end of that. There
weren't roads from there to
here. I guess there might have
been some way of driving down
through in dry weather. But
when we moved here, we
moved in boats down the Isto-
poga and the Istopoga Creek
and canal, where you cross over
now going to Lorida; then on
down the river to Okeechobee."
Monroe bought an 80-acre


tract with a house near present
day SR 78 (which wasn't built
until the 1930s). Annie said that
the house was located on this
side of the Kissimmee River.
"There was a wood house,"
recalled Annie. "My dad bought
the house and land all together
and he paid about $400 for both.
It wasn't a big house. It was
board and batten house. It was
on log blocks until the '28 storm.
They didn't have concrete
blocks then"
"Everyone who lived over
there lived on the ridge of Eagle
Bay. There were times in the fall
in the back when it would over-
flow. The river would overflow
and the water would come up to
the ridge on the back and be
high on the lake side," she said.
Monroe Lightsley tried fishing
to support the family.
"Commercial fishing was the
main thing then," remembered
Annie, "They fished with fishing
nets then. Most of the fishing
now is trot line."
"I might get to come to town
only every three or four months,


=-- L,. .

Special to INI/www.tommymarkham.com
During the wet season, the pier at Okeechobee in the 1920s
landed travelers onto a muddy Parrott Avenue as Annie


Lightsley remembered.
she said. "At times you could
drive a house and wagon across
Eagle Bay when the lake was
low. I had an uncle, Mlary
Veasey's daddy who .pulled a
barge from this end of the ridge
to somewhere around the end of
Parrott Avenue. You could drive
your house and wagon up on
that and come across. It would
take the biggest part of the day
to come to town and go back. It
was a bad toad -no pavement,
just a road bed full of ruts. You
could bog down. There is a lot of
mucky land in there and they
didn't have graders to smooth it
down."
"The Eagle Bay schoolhouse
had just a cloth curtain across
the building and they had class-
es on one side and some on the


other," recalled Annie's son
Clarence. "But it was all still in
one room and all that separated
then was the cloth curtain. The
teacher's last name was Moslow
and I really liked her. She was
real pretty."
Annie's daughter, Jesna
Lightsley McClendon remem-


bered some of her childhood in Canal Point. They had a lot of
the house on Eagle Bay: sugar cane down there and we
"We washed in a washtub loaded that thing down with
and scrubbed on a washboard, sugar cane and different ones (in

we boiled clothes in. We had a that, the river would overflow.

Make the most of the networking skills


By DebraFine

Do you dread receptions, ban-
quets, and other business-related
social events? Does attending
another open house make you
want to run inside your own and
lock the door? You're not alone.
Many of us are apprehensive about
these situations, because most of
)us either, hate entering rooms
\\ here we don't know anyone or
hate spendingJime \with peopleVe
don't know weTileeping acoriver-
sation going during such occasions
is an ordeal.
Everyone learns the technical
skills required for their jobs, but not
everyone places importance on
conversational skills. The ability to
talk easily with anyone is a learned
skill, not a personality trait Acquir-
ing it will help you develop rapport
with people and leave a positive
impression that lasts longer than an
exchange of business cards.
Here are a few tips business
professionals can use to improve
their small-talk skills:
*Be the first to say hello!
Introduce yourself. Act as if
you're the host and introduce new


arrivals to your conversational part-
ner or partners.
eSmile first and always shake
hands when you meet anyone.
eTake your time during intro-
ductions! Make an extra effort to
remember names, and use them
frequently in the conversation.
,*Maintain eve contact in any
conversation. Many people in a
group of three or more people look
around in the hope that others will
maintain eye contact on our behalf.
But people don't feel listened to if
you're not looking at them.
eGet somebody to talk about
why they're attending the event,
and you are on your way to engag-
ing them in conversation.
*Show an interest in every per-
son. The more interest you show
the wiser and attractive you
become to others.
*Listen carefully for informa-
tion that can keep the conversation
going.
*Remember: People want to
be with people who make them
feel special, not people who are
"special". Take responsibility to
help people you talk to feel as if
they're the only person in the
room.


*Play the conversation game.
When someone asks, "How's busi-
ness?" and
"What's going on?" Answer
with more than "Pretty good" or
"Not much". Tell more about your-
self so that others can learn more
aboutyou.
*Be careful with business
acquaintances. You wouldn't want
to open a conversation with:
"How's your job at __ ?"
What if that person just got fired or
laid off? Be careful when you're
asking about an acquaintance's
spouse or special friend; you could
regret it.
*Don't act like you're an FBI
agent. Questions .like "What do
you do," "Are you married," "Do
you have children," and "Where
are you from?" lead to dead-end
conversations.
*Be aware of body language.
Nervous or ill-at-ease people make
others uncomfortable. Act confi-
dent and comfortable, even when
you're not.
*Be prepared. Spend a few
minutes before an anticipated
event preparing to talk easily about
three topics. They will come in
handy when you find yourself in


the middle of an awkward
moment... or while seated at a
table of eight where everyone is
playing with their food
*Shotw an interest in your con-
versational partner's opinion, too.
You're not the onlypersonwho has
opinions about funding the space
program or what \will happen to the
stock market.
eStop conversation monopo-
lists in their tracks. If possible, wait
for the person to take a breath or to
pause, then break in \With a com-
ment about their topic. Immediate-
ly redirect the conversation in the
direction you wish it to go.
*Be prepared with exit lines.
You need to move around and
meet others.
eDon't melt from conversa-
tions. Make a positive impression
by shaking hands and saying good-
bye as you leave.
With practice, you can learn
how to make the most of meetings,
interviews, and networking events
or of entertaining clients at conven-
tions, trade shows, and other work-
related functions. You'll learn to
appreciate, rather than dread, net-
working events.


SB 2290 will protect


seniors from insurance


TALLAHASSEE Florida sen-
iors who purchase long-term
and home health care insur-
ance now have protection from
sudden rate hikes and arbitrary
claim denials, thanks to a bill
passes unanimously by. the
Senate Health Care Committee
The legislation, SB 2290 by
Sen.: Mike Fasano,, ;.i~ywod
extend the.same protections To
seniors, tFl,. Tom Gatlagher,
:State Insurance Commissioner,
obtained during the 2003: leg-
islative session for consumers
who purchased health insur-
ance from out-of-state group
insurers. Specifically, the bill
would protect policyholders
from the practice of insurers
that close blocks of coverage to
avoid'spreading the risk among
a pool of insured seniors and


then hike rates on the smaller,
block.
"Seniors who responsibly
purchase coverage to prepare
for potential illnesses in future
Sears should be protected from
exorbitant rate increases and
arbitrary claim denials, espe-
cially at a time when they need
their coverage the most," said
Mr. Gallagher, who successfully
obtained protections for con-
sumers when purchasing
health insurance during the
2003 legislative session. "I
applaud state lawmakers for
approving this important legis-
lation for Florida seniors and
their families."
SB 2290 now heads to the.
Senate General. Government
Appropriations Committee. Its
House companion is HB 1349.
