Some citizens were dismayed at the apparent squandering of county funds and the loss of a $1 million in immediate revenue, which was in place during the ini- tial negotiations with Waste Man- agement while others were pleased that the landfill deal never went through. After abandoning months of negotiations with Waste Manage- ment, and turning their attention towards a controversial company, and being bombarded with anonymous opponents to any landfill, County Manager Wendell Taylor and County Attorney Richard Pringle .announced that the county is closer to making to a deal with Waste Management. At the regular Glades County Board of Commissioner's meeting on April 24, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Pringle informed the board of commissioners that negotiations were moving forward with the pri- mary attention being devoted to protecting county interests. "Removing as much of the lia- bility issues as possible has been our primary focus in these negoti- ations," said Mr. Taylor. According to the count man- ager, some the highlights of the proposed contract with Waste Management will include a 30- year deal once the current fill areas have been exhausted, which could take another four to five years. At that time, Mr. Taylor said, Waste Management would then operate the designated 40 acres allotted to the landfill, along with the facilir\. The count\ would d still ow n thM land and the facility upon completion of the landfill. Mr. Taylor. also noted that Waste Mlacniairnent would also buy existing equipment from the county and conduct a search for .employees though the existing countN employees. Mr. Tavlor and Mr. Pringle also noted that aJI asso- ciated costs \\ill be \\ate Manage- ment's responsibility and that the country can look forward to gener- ating possible. revenue in two areas- Charge $1 pet ton for out of county waste, and charge $1 per ton over what Waste Management willcharge for in county \ aste.

By Mark Young MOORE HAVEN At the April 24 regular meeting of the Glades County Board of Com- missioners, a public hearing took place to discuss a pro- posed ordinance .that will impact land development with- in the county. As Glades County continues to prepare for the growth spurt that many are now calling "inevitable," the county is mak- ing several preparations to aid the county's response. One is the new Glades County Com- prehensive Land .Use Plan, which has been updated for'the first time in decades by County Manager Wendell Taylor. The comprehensive land use plan is nearing completion and is expected to be present- ed to the board of county com- missioners soon. Now the county is also looking at having ordinances in place which give developers more responsibility, See Land Page 12 Glades County School District honors outstanding teachers Glades County school dis- trict held their second annual "Teacher of the Year" banquet for the Golden Apple Teacher Award on April 20, at the North Lake Estates clubhouse. Teachers, administrators and school board members attended. Three teachers, one from each of the schools, were honored with a commemora- tive plaque at the ceremony. The Moore Haven High School recipient was Crystal Drake, who also is named the Glades County Teacher of the Year. Mrs.'Drake thanked all of the people who have helped her throughout her career in teaching with a funny and heartwarming speech. Cindy Ringstaff and Alice Gardner from Moore Haven Elementary and West Glades Elementary respectively, hold the title for their schools and were also recognized by Superintendent of Schools, Wayne Aldrich. It was a wonderful evening with special guest, Samuel Ben- nett, the 2006 Teacher of the Year for the state of Florida. Mr. Bernett is from Polk County, where he teaches 5th grade at Garner Elementary School in Winter Haven. He addressed the room full of teachers, listing the defining moments in his year as Teacher of the Year of Florida. His crowning moment was when one of his students told reporters that he wished that Mr. Bennett was his dad. The Glades school district would like to thank all of the sponsors for the event. Golden Apple Sponsors with a $1,000 donation were the Glades Sheriff's Depart- ment and Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union. Silver Apple Sponsors with a $500 donation were Lodge Con- struction, Houghton Mifflin, and Pearson Digital Learning. The Red Apple Sponsors with a $200 donation were Glades Electric Cooperative, Inc., Dina Heffernan (Great Source Edu- cation Group), Frank Craw- ford, Inc.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edwards Mr. and Mrs. Charles Edwards, of Pahokee celebrated their 65th anniversary on April 26, 2006. They were wed April 26, 1941. Back in, 1941 in Columbus Ohio an auspicious occasion took place the marriage of a young Margaret Evans and Charles B. "Chuck" Edwards. This young couple met in 1925 when they where 9 years old but they really began dating when they were 14 years old .They would meet at the Farmers Grange meetings which were always followed by a dance.- Margaret and Chuck would dance to songs such as "Pig in a Parlor" and "Skip to my Lou". "Things really got serious July 4, 1939. "We went on a picnic that day and from that time on, I knew we were getting serious," stated Chuck Edwards. "We moved here to Pahokee back in 1975. We owned and operated the Western Auto here in town (Pahokee). Our son- (Bud Edwards) moved here about six months after we did with his wife, Barbara, and their son, Lewis Charles. Then their second son was born in the Pahokee Hospital, David Franklin. David Franklin still lives locally with his wife, Jennifer and Son Sebastian," he said. Margaret fell ill a few months back and is now living at Glades Health Care Center but not a day passes by when Mr. Edwards does not visit his wife at GHCC "We have been together 65 years how can I go through a day with- out seeing her. We have always been together. I am lonesome -without her at home. I visit her every day because she is every- thing to me," he said. Rev. Broadbent from the Methodist Church in Canal Point ,Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Barbara and Bud Edwards Linda Brown were in attendance for the inti- mate 65th Anniversary celebra- tion of this extraordinary and dedicated couple. The couple's children include Bud and Barbara Edwards. Grandsons are Lewis Charles and David Franklin Edwards. They have one great-grandson, Sebastian Edwards.

April 27, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Projects restore part of Kissimmee By MaiyAnn Morris By the 1940s, Central Florida was well-populated. The primary industry was cattle. In 1946 and 1947, storms and hurricanes dumped record rainfall on South Florida. The Kissimmee River swelled out over its floodplain and thousands of cattle were drowned. South of Orlando, most of the state, was under water with flooding responsible for exten- sive property damage throughout South Florida. A group of concerned citizens met in Okeechobee, formed the Central and Southern Flood Con- trol District (which later became South Florida Water Management District) and ultimately petitioned the government to help control the flooding. To protect developing areas around Kissimmee and control flooding in the Kissimmee River Valley, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers straightened 103 miles of the meandering Kissimmee River and its 35,000 acre flood- plain into a 56-mile-long, 30 foot deep, 300 foot wide channel, draining 21,000 acres of flood- plain in the process. This is the C- 38 Canal. The, wading birds left. The. sandy river bottom where fish spawned became covered with- silt brought down by rushing water from the northern reaches of the watershed and the fish left. The marshes dried up and ducks no longer made their nests along the Kissimmee. The region that drains into lakes or rivers is called a water- shed. The :Kissimmee River watershed forms the headwa- ters of the Kissimmee-Okee- chobee-Everglades System. It is all inter-related. It feeds Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades.. Water matters in this region are handled by the South Florida Water Management (SFWMD), one of a number of such state agencies in Florida. Flood con- trol, water supply, water quality and maintenance of the natural areas of the watershed are all responsibilities of SFWMD. This includes many different wetland and aquatic ecosystems, more than two dozen lakes, their trib-' utary streams, and the Kissim- mee River. The restoration of the Kissim- mee River is not a single project. The Kissimmee Basin Modeling and Operations Study, Kissim- mee River Restoration Project (KRRP), Kissimmee River Head- waters Revitalization Project (KRHRP), and Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, (KCOL) Long-Term. Management Plan (LTMP) are major projects in the watershed. These projects include ecosystem restoration, evaluation of the: work, aquatic plant manage- ment, land management, water quality improvement, water sup- ply planning and how better to balance them all, while also con- sidering the impacts across ecosystems including Lake Okee- chobee and the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries. The Kissimmee River Restora- tion and the Kissimmee River Headwaters Revitalization proj-. ects were jointly authorized in the 1992 Water Resources Develop- ment Act. The two projects have an estimated combined cost of $578 million and will be complet- ed in several phases, with the final phase of construction sched- uled for completion in 2012. The primary goal of the Kissimmee River Restoration Pro- ject is to re-establish the river- floodplain system. The project will restore over 40 square miles of river/floodplain ecosystem including 43 miles of meandering river channel and 27,000 acres of wetlands. The restoration project is a joint partnership with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and US Army Corps of Engineers (LiSACE.i. This requires reconstruction of the river closer to its natural form, i.e., backfilling canals and ditches, removing water control structures, and eliminating added levees and roads and reestablish- ment of historic flows. Basically, it means un-straightening the river.'A key element of the project is the program for tracking eco- logical responses to restoration: to see what doesn't work, what works and how well it works. This will give environmental sci- entists the ability to judge the suc- cess of the restoration, and, in addition will provide scientific information for fine-tuning future project phases. Everything was documented before work was started, so that scientists can judge the changes that take place. Phase I of the KRRP was com- pleted in February 2001. Phase I filled approximately 7.5 miles of the C-38 canal (the straightened Kissimmee River.), re-carved approximately 1.25 miles ol river channel, and demolished the S- 65B structure to reconnect 15 miles of continuous river chan- nel. The most recent surveys showed that the water quality was improved and that popula- tions of wading birds and ducks I M - had increased along with signifi- cantly more fish. Much of the water flowing to the KCOL and Kissimmee River originates in four headwaters basins north of the KCOL.. This area is one of the most rapidly urbanizing areas in Florida. The quality and quantity of water flowing through these basins influence the health of all down- stream systems. The SFWMD works with local governments throughout the Upper Basin to fund water-resource projects to improve water quality, water sup- ply, natural resources, and flood control levels of service. The KICCO Wildlife Manage- ment Area is an approximate 7;400-acre property in Polk County, managed by the Dis- trict's Land Stewardship Division and was purchased under the Save Our Rivers Program in 1985 as part of the KRRP. The area is located on the west side of the C- 38 canal in Pool A of the Kissim- mee River. The north border is State Highway 60, and the south border lies south of the S-65A water control structure. Since the C-38 canal will not be backfilled north of S-65A, flow will not be restored to the remnant Kissimmee River in' Pool A. Although restoration of the river will not take place in Pool A, there are smaller proj- ects within the pool that will serve to increase water storage,, improve water quality, mitigate flooding, and restore the wet- land community in parts of the floodplain associated with the river's tributaries. This will restore historic (pre-C&SF Pro- ject) floodplain to Packingham and Buttermilk sloughs. Increased wetland habitat for wildlife and creation of a "wet- land corridor" between Lake Kissimmee and the restored por- tion of the Kissimmee River will result. The main features of the restoration plan are the creation of two containment levees, back- tilling of drainage ditches, and installation of gated water control structures that will manage water levels to mimic the historic sur- face water levels in the basin according to a model developed from historic data at nearby Fort Kissimmee. This modeling was completed in March 2005. Detailed design is under way and is scheduled for completion this fiscal year. Rolling Meadows Ranch lies on the south shore of Lake Hatchineha. The 2,260-acre prop- erty was purchased by the SFWMD and the FDEP as part of the KRRP. Currently, this property is leased back to the previous owner and operated as a sod farm. The restoration plan shows Caloosahatchee River 'endangered' 'FORT. MYERS The Caloosahatchee River received a dubious honor April 19 it was listed. as the seventh most endangered river in the U.S. by the American Rivers Association. The Conservancy of South- west Florida joined with the Caloosahatchee River Citizens Association/Riverwatch and endorsed the nomination of the' river to this annual list in the hopes that the disturbing desig- nation would increase aware- ness of the, dire state of the river and accelerate restoration efforts. "We hope this designation will provide a means to expedite improved public policies and increased funding from govern- mental agencies to save the Caloosahatchee from further decline and aid in its restora- tion," said Jennifer Hecker, Con- servancy natural resource policy manager, in a letter endorsing the nomination of the river. The Caloosahatchee River Watershed earned a grade of C- for both water quality and wildlife in the Conservancy's landmark Estuaries Report Card for Southwest Florida, released in December 2005. (To view the full report, go to www.conser- vancy.org.) The report presents a detailed review and grading of 10 Southwest Florida estuaries, and offers science-based recom- mendations for each estuary, written in a format designed to help policy-makers make informed decisions concerning Southwest Florida's environ- ment. According to the report, the river suffers from a radically altered water flow, with massive dumps of freshwater from Lake Okeechobee during the wet sea- son, and not enough water flow during the dry season. The resulting spikes in salinity, com- bined with the nutrient-laden water from Lake Okeechobee, have severely impacted the watershed. Recommendations in the report for the Caloosahatchee include: increasing stormwater treatment standards in the per- mitting of new developments and retrofitting older areas to reduce stormwater runoff vol- ume and pollution, reducing dependency on septic systems, increasing the capacity for municipal wastewater treat- ment, restoring natural flow- ways for water storage, and pro- tecting the aquifer recharge areas. The Conservancy is actively involved in improving water quality in both the Caloosa- hatchee and throughout the southwest Florida region, and in 2003 filed a legal challenge against the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), calling for more stringent water quality certification standards for stormwater runoff systems in new developments. The Conser- vancy is now working with the SFWMD and the development community to develop new cri- teria that would provide incen- tives for stormwater runoff pre- vention, and incorporate more effective treatment approaches in the design and construction of new developments in southwest Florida. "The South Florida Water Management District acknowl- edges that over-half of the nutri- ent pollution in the Caloosa- hatchee comes from stormwater runoff from the watershed itself, rather than from Lake Okee- chobee. To address this issue, the District needs to impose standards in their permitting of new development that requires them to take care of their own pollution on-site, and not con- tribute to the cumulative degra- dation of our water resources," said Ms. Hecker. The Conservancy and other environmental groups also recently intervened on behalf of the State of Florida to uphold the Water Resource Implementation Rule, which allows for water to be reserved for fish and wildlife protection and Everglades restoration, instead of being siphoned off for human use, to the detriment of environment. The rule would give rivers such as the Caloosahatchee a legal source of water to maintain its ecological health. "Water is clearly the lifeblood of our region," said Andrew McElwaine, president and CEO of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. "The health of our rivers and bays directly impacts both our tourism-based economy and our quality of life. That's why the Caloosahatchee's designation as one of the top 10 most endan- gered rivers is so important. It's a wake up call for our region. The time to act is now."

The wet- land will be managed to mimic the natural lake and will provide habitat for wildlife. The area out- side the impounded wetland may be incorporated into the Lake Kissimmee State Park. To assess how water will be delivered to the impoundment, hydrologic modeling of Catfish Creek was completed in March 2004. The report outlines three options for providing water to the impound- ment. A final decision has not been made. Currently, a statement of work to develop a conceptual restora- tion plan for the property is under review. This contract will include creating a conceptual restoration plan for the Rolling Meadows/Catfish Creek property. Historical (pre-C&SF Project) data such as aerial photography, vegetation and soil maps, and stage data, shall be used to delin- eate natural communities and the historical route of Catfish Creek. The primary purpose of the Kissimmee River Headwaters Revitalization Project is to pro- vide the water storage and regula- tion schedule modifications needed to restore the historical flow characteristics of the Kissim-_ mee River system. The secondary purpose is to increase the size and quality of lake littoral zone habitat in lakes Kissirmee, Hatchineha, Tiger, and CN press to benefit fish and wildlife. The Long-Term Management Plan for the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes was begun by SFWM D in April 200(3. The project's purpose is to improve and sustain the ecosystem health of the KCOL regulated lakes while minimizing adverse impacts to downstream ecosystems. Over the last year, an annotated bibliography of KCOL literature has been assembled, (2) a stake- holder value survey of users of the KCOL was taken to see what citi- zens feel is most important and other scientific studies. Surveys of people in the KCOL area weie col- lected. The responses showed that people wanted recreation such .as, fishing, swimming and boating and quiet places where they could enjoy nature. Project goals will be changed to rellect those preferences. A need for\ more information was also shown and two brochures will be brought outto keep people updat- ed on the progress of projects, another willbe more general, out- lining jurisdictions and the agency responsible.

Glades Happenings of Yesteryear Submitted by Jeanette Peeples ' The Glades County Public Library recently obtained bound issues of the Glades County Democrat beginning in 1924 for their Historical Room. Because of their fragility, they will only be available for limited use. Howev- er, the Library will be sharing interesting news items from yes- teryear and also asking for assis- tance in obtaining historical infor- mation, particularly on Glades County and also South Florida. An item of interest found in the February 13, 1924 issue: For rent- A three room house and a 4 room house with 2 acres of land in the city limits. Rent is $6 per month and $10 per month in advance. July 16, 1926 Advertisment: Moore Haven Novelty Works Located across from the Stonecrest Hotel. Can anyone tell us where the Stonecrest Hotel was located? Call the Library at 946-0744 if you can tell us where the Stonecrest Hotel was located. The Library would also like to ask that if you have old pictures, books, school annuals and other items of interest pertaining to Glades County and would be willing to share them to contact either the Library or Jeanette Peeples. Our goal is to preserve our History and Heritage. Angry words can hurt the family What is it about out busy lives that cause us to spout angry words like a geyser? At the drop of a hat we can spew nastiness all over our loved ones, friends and even total strangers. I have heard every excuse in the world for the angry words that come from our mouths. They start with, I had a bad day, I didn't get much sleep and the worst is you made me do it. This excuse is no different from the abusive hus- band who blames his wife because he hit her. I will never forget a testimonial we received from a mother who sent her child out into the world with angry words ringing in his ears. Those angry words were the last words he ever heard from his mother because he was killed when a car ran over him. There is no excuse for ever allowing abu- sive language to hurt anyone. Think back to when you were a child. Can you remember some hurtful words that were yelled at you in anger? When a room full of The Flylady by Maria Cilley people of all ages was asked this question they could recount the event as if it were yesterday. Angry words linger and fester! They can- not be taken back. They leave your lips and scare people for life! I want to get to the basis of this ILL behavior. This is just what it is! I think it is because you are not getting your nap out. We all know how our babies act when they have not had their naps. Lack of sleep makes us cranky, angry, fat, sick, sidetracked and unable to concentrate. These are some of the symptoms we experience from our inability to go to bed, shut our brains off and get the rest that our bodies need. There a lots of reason we do not get enough sleep. It could be that you don't go to bed at a decent hour or when you do go to bed your mind will not shut off. You may need to see your doctor for some help. Another reason is that you have sleep apnea. Your doctor can help you with this too. I am a light sleeper and have dis- covered that wearing earplugs has helped me to get a good night's sleep. These earplugs keep me from hearing every little noise in the house. Not only have I had more energy but I think this is one of the reasons I have reduced my Body Clutter. I have started to dream again and feel refreshed when I get up in the morning. Not every- one can do this because of being alone in the house or having babies. A white noise machine can also help you to sleep better. Now let's look at what hap- pens around you when you have this ILL attitude: Your children run for cover, your husband has learned to ignore you and'your co workers give you a wide berth. Then you compound the lack of good sleep with the stress that we place on ourselves with perfec- tionism. It's a wonder we can stand ourselves. You know that may be real problem. When we don't like ourselves, we don't do what we need to do to stop this vicious cycle of NO SLEEP, STRESS and SOUR Atti- tudes. I want you to find peace. We can't have this peace if we are lashing out at our family in anger.

Eat right to avoid 'junk food clutter' ulaoes uounry uemor Andrew Cowin was a lucky young man at the recent Bun Bingo event at West Glades. He won a bicycle however was a girl's bicycle and not a boy's. So what did he d Andrew gave the bicycle to a friend! He also won many r fie prizes (which he kept), Andrew's mother won the 50, drawing.. Andrew is a first grader in Mrs. Todd's class. Bunny bingo leaves mark at West Glade By Barbara Oehlbeck This was a first but certainly will not be the last. Bunny Bingo night at West Glades Elementary was a tremendous success from all standpoints. This first event was held Friday, April 7, and proved to be even more than the school hoped. "We had no idea that we would get so much support from the community," said Principal Larry R. Luckey, Jr. "Support came from all directions: Prizes for playing Bunny Bingo, raffle prizes, etc. The prizes included a television, bicycles, outdoor grills, Easter hams plus other items. It was such an exciting time for stu- dents, guests and members of the PTO." (Parent-Teachers Organiza- tion) "We've been asked over and over when the next event will be held," Mr. Luckey said. "The answer to that question is Bunny Bingo at West Glades School will be an annual event, to be held each year prior to Easter. The actual date will be announced early nextyear:" Since its opening in 2004, the new West Glades School has been woefully lacking in play- ground equipment for students. Bunny Bingo was the first event especially held to raise funds for such equipment. "We are overwhelmed at the financial success of this event which amounted to $3,900," said Mr. Luckey. "Also of primary importance was the fun and pleasure for everyone who was there. Any number of those, attending won more than one prize! We cannot thank the mem- bers of the PTO enough, especial- ly Mrs. Edith Hackman and all the other members of the PTO who contributed so much time and effort, working tirelessly in organ- izing this event for our school. Playground equipment is extremely important for our stu- dents and now that the Play- ground Fund is off to such a great beginning. We know it won't be too long before our playground will have the equipment it needs." Believe it or not, there is such a thing as food clutter. This is the stuff that truly does not qualify as food, but instead is an artificial coloring, flavoring or some kind El of chemical additive that will pre- crat serve or influence the manufac- ny lured food. This food clutter is r it also known as junk food, but I lo? prefer to call it food clutter because clutter is like litter: you af- just want to get rid of it. /50 Now more than ever, nutrition- al nightmares abound on grocery store shelves. Products that are manipulated to hook us into food addictions take us hostage daily. It simply does not have to be like that. I tell you what, you imple- ment these simple rules, and you s will no longer be victimized by the food industry again: read the fri 1au~il'lf nl rf hn anri rv oioo aeis o eac ana every productyou buy. SKIP anything with an additive The Dinner Diva by Leanne SEly you can't pronounce or don't know what.it is. Watch too, for food dyes. Did you know that Red No.3 (a dye allowed in foods) is also used as a pesticide for spray- ing on manure piles to kill mag- gots? (Source: EPA) Think about it: why would,you want your child drinking an electrolyte replace- ment drink that lookslike toilet cleaner? Do you REALLY want that kind of dangerous clutter in your food? These additives, fake colorings and flavorings are the food industry's weapons of mass destruction true chemical war- fare. Say NO to this "food" because it is not food! Keep it simple: eat real food, skip the icky mixes that you con- stitute with water, partially hydro- genated and hydrogenated oils, and all that garbage. You know what food looks like. You'll find it in .the produce section, the meat counter, and some fairly inexpen- sive dried beans, whole grains and breads on your grocer's shelves. Read the labels, strap on a whole new mindset of aware- ness and get rid of the junk. The results will astound you. You will see your children's behavior improve, your own moods even out and your grocery bill decrease junk food is expensive.

Your children's tummies can't be filled like a hole in the plaster. They need honest nutri- tion that will help them grow, learn and become all that God intends them to be. They can't begin to reach their potential if they are under nourished (with real nutrients) and over fed (with junk). Think about your car. You'd NEVER intentionally put less than decent fuel in it or you might damage the engine. Why would you do that to yourself or your family?

Michael James Tyler, 34, was arrested and charged with: 157 counts of possession of photo- graphs cf the sexual performance of a child, six counts of transmis- sion of child pornography; two counts of distributing obscene material; and, one count of obscene communication via the computer. The investigation began April 16 when the Glades County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) received a com- plaint from a concerned parent in the Lakeport area. The parent said that children had viewed sexually explicit material at lyler's home. Shortly after this, GCSO detec- tives Mike Pepitone and Steve Har- ris arrested Tyler on the dis- tribution and obscene com- munications charges. "Detective Pepitone worked nearly 24 hours a day on this," said Michael GCSO Captain James Tyler Daryl Lewis. Then, as more victims were identified and hidden computers files were retrieved by the United States Secret Service and the Feder- al Bureau of Investigation, Tyler was charged with the 157 counts of possession of photographs and the transmission of child pornography. The captain said one picture equals one count According to Capt. Lewis, the Secret Service retrieved photos reportedly taken by Tyler with the children from the hard drive of his computer. He went on to say that the Secret Service is currently trying to ascertain where the photos were sent. Capt. Lewis said the apparent victims were all from the Lakeport area and were boys between the ages of 14 and 17. The alleged crimes were all committed in Tyler's home, the captain added. None of the victims were physi- cally injured, said Capt. Lewis. Tyler, said Capt. Lewis, had only lived in Lakeport for a little over a year and he's had no prior arrests. "He's clean," said Capt. Lewis. "He bounces around, that's why he's stayed under the radar. He's lived in Broward and Dade coun- ties, as well as in Melbourne." Glades County Sheriff Stuart Whiddon said the investigation is continuing at both the state and federal levels. He said the FBI is cur- rently seeking federal indictments against Tyler. At the federal level, Capt. Lewis said if convicted of one count of production of child pornography Tyler could be sentenced to life in prison. He went on to state that the investigation will be continuing because "we're sure there are more victims out there." Sheriff Whiddon said anyone having additional information regarding this case should contact Detective Pepitone at (863) 946- 1600. Trigger man sought in Belle Glade shooting By Jose Jesus Zaragoza BELLE GLADE Detectives with the Belle Glade Police Department are looking for the suspect behind a shooting that happened in Belle Glade early Sunday. The shooting was direct- ed at two people, one of whom is now suffering from life-threat- ening injuries he received in the attack. According to detectives han- dling the case, the shooting hap- pened April 23 at approximately 4a.m. The two victims were walking along the 900 Block of Avenue A, walking in front of a residence, when shots were fired in their direction. At this point, police believe the shooting may have been the result of a drive-by attack. When they heard the shoot- ing, the two victims tried to run away from the source of the attack, but one was hit by the gunfire. The victim, whose name is. being withheld by police, suf- fered a serious gunshot wound to his back. He was transported to St. Mary's Hospital for further treatment, but on Monday was listed in critical condition. Discussing the condition of the victim, Detective A. Willis said, "We're hoping he'll make it through." In the meantime, police have identified a "person of interest" in the case and will be following up the investigation of the case. According to police, the attack may have been the culmi- nation of a feud between the vic- tim and the suspect. "The suspect definitely knew\ who he was shooting at," said Sgt. Calipto Gonzalez, who said that witnesses have suggested the shooting w\as over a girl. Police officials said they would like to make arrest by the end of the week and urge the public to contact tiern if they have any information on the case.

Nw require airboats to have mufflers ": Florida airboat o\;wners'have a few more months to ensure their crafts have automotive-style muf- flers installed on the boats' engine exhausts. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved the enforcement proto- col last year, effective June 30, 2006. An education campaign for air- boat owners will continue through June 30. After that date, FWC offi- cers have the option to issue writ- ten warnings or citations for failure to use the appropriate muffling devices. Registered airboat owners in Florida should have-redeived.a let- ter and brochure explaining in detail the law enforcement proto- col airboats must have automo- tive-style mufflers or a muffling sys- tem designed and installed to abate exhaust sounds and gases emitted from an internal combustion engine. Anyone who has yet to receive a letter and brochure, or who needs additional copies, should, call Brian Rehwinkel at (850) 488-5600 or e-mail him at brian.rehwinkel@MyFWC.com. State law requires vessels' engine exhaust to be muffled effec- tively in a reasonable manner. Indi- vidual counties may enact addi- tional ordinances to restrict vessel sound to 90 decibels at 50 feet. Researchers examined sound levels from different styles of muf- flers including exhaust and intake manifold mufflers and differ- ing propeller designs at various operating speeds and distances from an observer. They deter- mined that several components, when used together, could provide the needed incremental improve- ments to reduce airboat sound lev- els significantly. They include muf- flers, wide-blade propellers and prop-speed reduction. Historically, "flex-pipe" (flexible tubing that diverts engine exhaust behind the boat) has been widely accepted as a reasonable device for muffling sound. Newly released scientific research reveals flex-pipe does not meet Florida's muffling requirements.

SThe statement can be evi- denced in the myriad projects in the area that, due to a lack of financial or professional follow- through, often did not make it past the conceptual stage. Looking to provide an avenue through which the plans of local cities and residents may actually have a chance, officials in Palm Beach County are hoping that the Glades will embrace a regional economic development entity. SThough the idea is still at a very early stage, and the board does not yet exist, the plans have already caught the attention of local leaders some of whom are excited with the plans, oth- ers who feel that they should tread more carefully, worried that they may be losing the power to shape the future of their own communities. "I think it will be a benefit to the Glades if it can be an entity that doesn't dictate to the cities, but will partner with the cities," said Pahokee Mayor J.P. Sasser. The idea behind the concept resulted from a study in 2002, completed by Dr. Herb Marlowe of Arrington-Marlowe, called the Business Plan for the Glades. This study looked at many eco- nomic efforts currently under- way in the Glades, and asked residents and business leaders in the area to identify how best to put the plans into place. The consensus was the suggestion to establish a "regional economic development entity governed by the economic interests of the region." Now, the Palm Beach County Office of Economic Develop- ment, along with Dr. Marlowe, is introducing the concept to the local cities. A presentation of the concept was provided at the Monday Tri-Cities Meeting in Belle Glade. The role of the regional eco- nomic development entity has been the topic of much debate in recent weeks, with one of the comments being that the new agency would usurp powers that each municipality now has in the development of their cities and towns. Dr. Marlowe said that the plan for the economic development entity was never based on taking powers away from municipali- ties, but had been planned from the start as playing more of a complementary role, aiding the cities in some of their more ambitious projects. "If you guys say we don't want to do it [a project], then we don't want to do it," explained Dr. Marlowe. "It's not trying to make policy, that's your job," he told commissioners. "This is not a governmental bureaucracy." The idea is in shaping rough concepts to the point where cities then have the ability to look at them from a more pre- cise and more logically thought- out perspective. The profession- al expertise would fill in those gaps such as design and plan- ning that the local cities with their budgetary constraints sometimes cannot afford to pay. The entity would take referrals from the cities, or the unincor-: porated areas, and, depending on staff, could concentrate on Submitted to INI High Yield Winners The sugar farmers whose fields produced the greatest sugar yields for the recently com- pleted crop were honored at the Sugar Festival High Yield Award Luncheon, sponsored by First Bank, last Thursday in Clewiston..

The entity would be funded by a combination of public funds, grants, foundations and university support. "If there is a project that you can't put your arms around, this team can do it," said Pam Nolan with the county's office of eco- nomic development. According to Ms. Nolan, the entity would also relieve her staff from having to concentrate simply on the most important projects going on in the Glades at any given time. "In my office we're swamped with projects from the Glades." The actual entity may have approximately three people on staff, including an executive director, an architect and a per- son with project development experience, or perhaps a slight variation, depending on the focus of the entity. South Bay Commissioner Shirley Walker-Turner expressed concern at the "regionalization" of the area. With more and more services being turned over to the county including fire, police and the regional water plant that is now under construction - she asked when the regionaliza- tion would end, or if the county had eventual plans to create a single, large area made up of the three cities in the Glades. While local cities have a limit- ed sav on whether or not the board is created, the request from the group for the appoint- ment of members to the board may just be the trigger to get the agency up and running. At the moment, the board is to be made up of over 21 mem- bers, which will be appointed by each of the cities and the unin- corporated lands, the area chambers of commerce, the local college, and representa- tives from the agricultural com- munity, as %vell as the Workforce Alliance and other associations. The make-up of the board also represents the desire to add more political weight to the enti- ty. "I stress that it needs to be regional," Dr. Marlowe said.

S1 Joseph MUchael Poste.Lt 1' 11/25/51 4/11/06 Joseph Michael was born November 25, 1951 at Hendry General Hospital in Clewiston, Florida to SDorothy and Fred Postell. "Joe" was the youngest sibling. *-His older brothers were Wilbur Postell of Clewiston, rh Dennis Postell of Punta Gorda, Florida and one sister, S- Anna Postell Clinard of Clewiston. He was preceded in I death by a brother. Melvin. a niece, Connie Clinard and his Dad, Fred Postell. Joey died April 11, 2006 at Lee Memorial Hospital. Joe was born healthy but with a defect in his bladder that was difficult to diagnose. Before his first birthday he had suffered permanent dam- age due to high fevers resulting in his mental retardation. Even though Joe was deficient in his mental abilities, he was a most unique and special creation of God. His life was colorful with his own exceptional personality and his love for people was unsurpassed. Joe's love and respect for God was commendable and genuine. Our Dad became very ill. Due to the intense care of Daddy we had to make a decision in Joe's behalf and admit him to Gulf Coast Facility in East Ft. Myers, Florida. Joe spent 13 years at the facility but frequented his home town with visits until his health no longer permitted home visits. Joe will long be remembered as the self employed, self appointed "inspector" of all building sites, including City Hall, Post Office, Banks, Department Stores, Grocery Stores, Churches or whatever may be under construction including sidewalks, Sugarland Highway, W.C. Owen, Aztec, drainage canals/ditches. Joe never missed a happening when it involved his sweet home town of Clewiston. His enthusiasm to "assist" often turned into havoc, but none the less he could be counted on to "be on the job." Joe had an admiration for the Fire Department that ran a close first to his job as Inspector. He never missed a meeting and he would be available to direct the trucks to and from the calls whenever the sun was up or had not set beyond dusk. Our home was across the street from the Fire Station. Our parents owned and operated Clewiston Seafood and Poultry Market for many years. It was located across the street from the Fire Department also. Availability to the entire community was convenient whether he was on his bicycle or walking. Our family was comforted, at the service for Joe, when various friends would share about their good times with him down through the years. Michael Baldree was in the states for a few days (he's a Missionary overseas) and spoke of his families times growing up around Joe. Bo Pelham, Fire Marshall, gave accurate data pertaining to Joe's activity around the Fire Department. The united messages by Pastor Corley and his son, Gary, gave a fresh insight on God having a purpose for each of His creations - fulfilling purpose is not always the picture perfect definition we may be prone to place on God's plan. So it was with our son and brother, Joe. It would not be complete if Joe's love and care for all fellowmen were not included. Many will remember Doc's Taxi Service from Harlem. You may also remem- ber Doc had a most individualized method of conducting his business of transporting his passengers in and out of the various streets, alleys and roads of our area. Basically, you rode at your own risk. Although, Joe would hitch a (free) ride with Doc on any given day and never think twice about Doc's driving skills. In fact, more often than not, he drummed up ample business for Doc from his reserved front passenger seat. Having the biggest and newest fire truck leading the procession for Joe as he was being taken to his burial at Ridgelawn Cemetery was a tribute, in his behalf, we will always remember. As Joe's family, we will hold Joe's friends in our community close to our hearts. Thank you for loving him and caring for him through the years. God bless each one of you.

Kindergarten registration Spring is here and that means that the school year is winding down. It is time for Moore Haven Elementary to begin planning for the new school year and.for the new KINDERGARTEN students who will be knocking on the door On April 21, kindergarten registration was held at Moore Haven Elementary School. Principal Brickel (pictured) and other staffers talked to parents about the school while the new kindergarten students enjoyed a video and a chance to meet some of their new classmates. in August. To help get ready, the annual "registration" day was held at MHES on Friday, April 21, 2006 at 9 a.m. in the Richie Bldg. While the parents learned about the transportation, school lunch- es, curriculum, the volunteer pro- gram, being a Reading First school and other important things that their students will be exposed to next year, the soon to be MHES students were treated to a video and some time to get to know one another. The parents then rejoined their children and took a tour of the Kindergarten classes and enjoyed pizza in the cafeteria. It was a good opportu- nity for the children to get their feet wet and see some of what happens each day in school. If you are a parent of a child that will be attending Kinder- garten in the 2006-07 school year and were unable to attend, please be sure and stop by Moore Haven Elementary School's front office and pick up a registration packet.

Dear Scholarship Foundation, My name is Stacy Nicole Ahern and I graduated from Moore Haven Jr. Sr. High School in 2001. I was the first Valedictorian Schol- arship recipient. I received my Associates Degree from Santa Fe Community College. In May, I will be graduating from the University of Florida with my Masters in Accounting. Later this year, I hope to have my CPA License. I have accepted a job offer to work in Naples, FL with McGladrey & Pullen beginning in July. Your donations to the Valedic- torian Scholarship Fund are sin- cerely appreciated. Without your assistance, my college education would have been much more,of a financial burden. I feel privileged to know that the people in my town care about their youth. As Walt Whitman once said, "The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give". Once capable, I plan to give back to.this scholar- ship that has allowed me to attain on of my life goals. Knowing how essential this scholarship was to my education, I hope you continue, when possi- ble to show\ your generosity. With sincere thanks, Stacy N.

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 County. This is the fourth article in the series. For the past few weeks we have been discussing Avian Flu and steps that can be to taken to prepare in the event of a pandem- ic flu. Dr. Fernandez, Director for Hendry and Glades Health Department, has encouraged citi- zens of Hendry and Glades Coun- ties to prepare a disaster kit. The supplies can also be used to be prepared for hurricane season. Dr. Fernandez has recommended stocking up on prescription med- icines, preparing a family emer- gency plan, and purchasing sev- eral non perishable food items each week. What is Avian Influenza? Bird Flu is a virus that affects birds. Avian Influenza does not usually infect people, but infec- tions with these viruses have occurred in humans. The possi- bility of a human being infected is rare and usually involves touch- ing a sick or dead bird that carried the virus, handling infected birds, or touching surfaces contaminat- ed by sick birds or their drop- pings. What is an epidemic? An epidemic is a widespread outbreak of disease. What is a pandemic? A pandemic is an epidemic (widespread outbreak) that affects the world. Pandemic flu is a global disease outbreak that occurs when a new influenza virus appears that causes serious illness. People have little or no immunity to the new virus and it can spread easily from person to person. Currently there is no pan- demic flu. What causes a pandemic? A pandemic starts when three things happen: *A new influenza virus sub- type emerges *It infects humans, causing them to be seriously ill Iet spreads easily and rapidly from human to human. Experts are concerned because the first two conditions have already been met. The H5N1 is a new virus for which humans have no immunity. It has infected over 194 people in which half died, which means it is a par- ticularly virulent (potent) disease. As the disease spreads, there are more opportunities for the virus to mutate (change) into a strain that is easily transmissible between people. What happens in a pandemic? What could I expect to see? There would be warning signs. Possible signs might include: ..*Clusters of patients with avian flu symptoms in different parts of the country. *Health workers caring for these patients would start to show the same symptoms, indi- cating that the third criteria for a pandemic had been mel: person to person transmission was tak- ing place. *Because the flu can be trans- mitted by coughing or sneezing even before a person knows they are sick, avian influenza would spread rapidly because of travel and transmission due to close proximity. *Hospitals could be over- whelmed by the number of peo- ple seeking care, and there may be high rates of worker absen- teeism which could interrupt the flow of services such as police, fire, and rescue. eTransportation and commu- nications could suffer if there was a quarantine order; and leisure activities would be discouraged thereby affecting the economy. *Medicine and medical equip- ment might be in short supply. *Pandemics can last 6-24 months. More information will be pro- vided next week,- but remember that the best defense against any infection is proper hand-washing. Dr. Fernandez states, "Our com- munity should use this time to prepare, not panic, and remem- ber that the goal of the Hendry and Glades County. Health Departments is to keep our com- munit wveil informed".

Landfill Continued From Page 1 and a possible vote on the matter could occur at the May 9 commis- sion meeting. Mr. Taylor is hoping that a con- tract with Waste Management will go into effect as of July. Negotiations are still ongoing according to Mr. Pringle who will not allow a contract to be present- ed to the board without removing all associated future liability issues.

After reviewing some points of the contract, Glades County Com- missioner Alvin Ward re-pledged his commitment to keep an open mind, but would not allow any deal to move forward that would jeopardize the citizens of Glades County.

Glades Truancy Program The Glades County School many citizens just wanted more information about how\ the landfill \would generate revenue and ho\\ that revenue would be spent. Mr. Ward appeared to remain skeptical about any landfill deal after the county had already given up $1 million during previous negotiations and expressed dismay at the prices quoted for in county waste being approximateKl $43 per ton at which time the county would charge $44 to gain the,$1l per ton revenue, when Okee- ,chobee citizens were paying approximately $27 per ton.

Mr. Davis said this presentation was not meant to be specific to any one project, but that all District land is available for public use and recreational opportunities. As Mr. Davis and the commis- sion reviewed the map which showed the SFWMD-owned prop- erty, it was found that a piece of Glades County, owned by' SFWMD, is currently being leased by the City of LaBelle who intends to build a park there. "Nothing has ever come out of that," stated Mr. Davis. Glades County Commissioner Alvin Ward said that it deserved to be looked into, considering the property is in Glades County and the county may want to look at the possibilities of doing something with it them- selves. Mr. Davis said that the county would have to open up dialogue with the City of LaBelle which cur- rently.leases the property. While SFWMD representatives were at the meeting, commission- ers asked what the intentions were with the lake cleanup and hydrilla spraying on the lake. A SFWMD representative informed the com- mission that there has been no hydrilla spraying program on the lake. "Hydrilla represents less than 10,000 acres on Lake Okee- chobee," the representative said. "Given the lack of the best possible fish habitat such as eel grass, it is our opinion that hydrilla creates a 'decent' fish habitat, which is bet- ter than none. The situation on the lake is dire." The representative continued, stating that de-mucking operations are still planned, but that much more needs to be done, such as bringing in engineers to survey the contour of the lake bottom and further stated that in some places, the lake will need to be down to nine feet before cleanup opera- tions can occur. Lake Okeechobee had reached the nine feet mark during the severe drought of a few years ago. The results were beneficial to the lake itself, but wreaked havoc on the fishing and tourism industry when it had become close to impossible to launch a boat from any of the lake's ramps. Just as the health of the lake returned, Florida was decimated with back to back severe hurricane seasons and the forecast for the coming years is more of the same. While every attempt is made to control the lake to everyone's lik- ing, no one will control Mother Nature. We Love You, ., , . '..

However, the wording of such ordinances is critical to the suc- cess of responsible growth and at the first public hearing of a new ordinance pertaining to develop- ment, Mark Lapp, of CHL Hold- ings, challenged the current lan- guage of one proposed ordinance. Mr. Lapp said he had three major issues with the ordinance as it currently reads. The ordi- nance includes a section stating that the county would require all subdivisions to have proper potable water and sewer avail- able. Mr. Lapp said that given the rural nature of Glades County, that was unreasonable unless the. county plans to build a sewage treatment plant for every subdivi- sion not within direct contact of the current plant. The county stated that it would depend on the lot sizes and the size of the subdivision, but that they were willing to revise the lan- guage before the ordinance went before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Lapp also challenged limit- ing the number of units that could be placed in a one-acre lot and further challenged the proposed requiring the developer to be responsible for three years of maintenance on roads following the completion of a development, when the current requirements are one year. "That just seems excessive to me," said Mr. Lapp.' No official response was pro- vided to Mr. Lapp on his sugges- tions other than a promise that the language of the ordinance would be revised before the pub- lic meeting that is to be held in front of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Upon completion of that public hearing, the ordi- nance will then come before the commission for its first reading, at which time, further arguments or comments can be made as the commission takes into considera- tion the adoption of the ordi- nance, which will occur after its third and final reading.

While some agricultural producers are facing tough times, Florida alli- gator farmers are cashing in on reptile chic the growing worldwide demand for alligator skins on everything from belts and boots to $10,000 designer handbags. "The market for high-end alli- gator leather products is very strong right now, and farmers are getting top dollar for their gator skins," said Perran Ross, a wildlife ecologist with the Uni- versity of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. "Florida alligator farming has had its ups and downs in recent years, but it's definitely a good time for those who are already established in the business." He said Louisiana is the nation's leading producer, har- vesting about 300,000 alligators every year compared to 60,000 in Florida, but Hurricanes Katri- na and Rita damaged alligator egg production in Louisiana. As a result, luxury-goods manufac- turers in the United States and Europe need to. secure future supplies of alligator skins, which is helping Florida farmers who can provide high quality prod- ucts. He said the value of finished alligator skin products may be anywhere from five to ten times the raw-product value. Allen, Register, owner of Gatorama in Palmdale, Fla., one of 60 licensed alligator farms in the state, said prices for alligator bellies range from $40 to $50 per foot, which is up by almost 50 percent from a few years ago. He said that belly skins are more valuable because they are soft AP Photo/Marisol Amador/UF/IFAS Perran Ross, a wildlife ecolo- gist with the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, holds an alligator being raised for its meat and skin - Monday, March 27, 2006. He said that demand is high and prices are good for Florida alligator skins, particularly smaller skins of high quality used in fashion accessories. In Louisiana, the nation's largest producer, the 2005 hurricanes reduced the har- vest of wild alligators and damaged egg nests, boost- ing demand for Florida alli- gator products. and flat, compared to horn-back skins that have bumpy ridges and are often-used in western- wear market." Like other Florida alligator farmers, Register harvests gators when they reach four or five feet in length, which requires about two years of growth. He said Louisiana farmers typically har- vest three- or four-foot long alli- gators after one year to save on the space needed to raise such large numbers. "In the past, buyers have been a lot more fussy about scars and scratches on hides, but we are seeing less emphasis on those imperfections, proba- bly because of the increased demand from U.S. and foreign luxury-goods manufacturers," he said. "After some slow times during the past eight or nine years, the market is definitely on the upswing." In addition to the strong inter- national demand for alligator hides, the domestic appetite for alligator meat is growing, com- manding prices of $4.50 to $4.75 per pound at the wholesale level and $7.50 to $10 per pound at retail, Register said. Christy Plott Redd, marketing director for American Tanning and Leather Company in Griffin, Ga., buys skins from producers all over the world but prefers American alligator skins because of their high quality. "Florida is key to our busi- ness because we need those grade-one.skins to sell to hand- bag manufacturers and fashion designers," she said: "As the demand for better quality, faster delivery and larger sizes contin- ues to grow, the farmers in Flori- da will play a bigger role in the luxury market." She said some skins are com- mercially harvested, while oth- ers are taken in cooperation with a state's nuisance alligator program. "From our experience, the percentage of grade-one Our CT capabilities are at LightSpeed.] When you have a CT exam, you want the clearest and most accurate images possible.

That num- ber jumps to 90 percent or more when we buy farm-raised skins." Ms. Redd said there will always be a demand for good quality skins, and farmers who are good can stay in business during difficult times. "We have all seen the hard times in this business, and it's not pretty," she said. "It's sad to see people who've been around for years and years suddenly go out of business, but it happens in every industry." She said farmers should focus on growing the best alliga- tors they can rather than grow- ing the most alligators they can. "When demand slacks off, that's when we start getting more picky," Redd said. "We can always sell good skins, but we can hardly give the poor- ones away. In this industry, we need more research on how to growth best quality skins." Ross, an alligator and croco- dile expert in UF's wildlife ecolo- gy and conservation depart-- ment, said alligator farming has about a $25 million impact on Florida's economy. He said it is not a "get rich quick scheme" but one that requires large capi- tal investments over a three- or four-year period when little or no income is being generated. To protect this renewable resource in Florida, alligator farms are licensed and regulated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. He said the vast majority of alligator skins are produced from eggs purchased and col- lected from wild alligators in the state. "These eggs are hatched and raised in farms to produce a fast growing and better quality prod- uct," he said. "Therefore, there is a direct link between these valuable reptiles and maintain- ing wetland habitats for them." Ross said the commercial harvest of alligators actually helps conserve the species and their habitats because the eco- nomic incentives from egg pro- duction and legal harvesting encourage landowners to main- tain wetlands. In addition. license lees from the program help support research,, monitor- ing and wildlife management programs that conserve alliga- tors. "In other words, alligators pay their own way for their con- servation," he said. "Florida has a model program that is emulat- ed all over the world for manag- ing alligators and their habitat for sustainable economic gain." Another advantage of alliga- tor farming is that farmers can produce high-value products year-round for national and international markets, he said. "Alligator farms do not require large tracts of land or water, and farm operations do not have adverse effects on the environ- ment. Land that may have been a nonproductive or marginal wetland can be used for alligator farming," he said. Alligator farming is also an efficient way to utilize meat and meat products that are not suit- able for human consumption. Aged or freezer-burned meat, unused fish from commercial trawlers and offal from poultry processing plants are good Sources of food for farms, Ross said. He said American crocodiles, whose hides are similar to alliga- tor skins, are making a come- back in South Florida, but these endangered reptiles cannot be harvested or raised commercial- ly in the United States. ~iiiiiiii lmA, bid___ II / IL I ~LI/ K ~ im row IT I-Y~ K I-EIMZ 3- 4-- ofIf the kis menu 1 &unde Headlines Stories from Independent's 7 newspapers in South Central Florida.

Many are still trying to piece their lives back together after Wilma's catastrophic strike last October. With the start of the 2006 hurricane season only about six weeks away, preparations are in full swing for what is being fore- casted as another year of numer- ous and potentially deadly storms. This year Hendry and Glades are trying something new to serve some of its "most fragile residents." Persons with Special Needs (PSNs) those with chronic medical con- ditions requiring special accom- modations are provided with a special shelter during times of extreme emergency. Special Needs Shelters offer basic life preserving accommodations only. There is a public health nurse on site, but Director of Nursing for the Hendry/Glades Health Department Pat Dobbins warns their function is to "get you through the crisis" only. As with all shelters, people must bring their own necessities includ- ing food, bedding, toiletries, water and other comforts as well as their medications and other health care needs, including oxygen and dia- betic paraphernalia. In addition, those at PSN shelters must have a caregiver staywith them. During Wilma, local PSNs Were open for 96 hours. Keep in mind that shelters are not comfortable places. They are simply large struc- tures built to withstand high winds, intended to keep people safe through the storm. So, any com- forts you may have, you will have to bringwithyou. In the past few years, there have been a total of three PSN shelters in Hendry/Glades. This year the two Emergency Management offices and the Hendry-Glades Health Department have partnered to con- solidate them into. just one the Muse Community 'Center. Built to withstand a Category Four storm, the Muse center is a compromise. Hendry's Emergency Management Director Tom Kochheiser said the state wanted local PSNs to be shel- tered at Sarasota. After Wilma last year, the state recommended the area regionalize Emergency Man- agement functions. The joint PSN is one way the two counties are. cooperating through team work to achieve a "high level of service and safety efficiency," Glades EM Direc- tor Angela Osceola agrees. PSN procedures remain the same. You must register in advance with your Emergency Management INI/Patty Brant A joint Hendry/Glades pilot project has consolidated the area's shelters for Persons with Spe- cial needs. Members of the bi-county team are, pictured from left: Hendry/Glades Health Depart- ment Planning Consultant loannis Gountas, Hendry County EM Director Tom Kochheiser, Health Department Director of Nursing Pat Dobbins and Glades County EM Director Angela Osceola. office as a PSN. Currently, there are some 35 people on the PSN registry in LaBelle, 12 in Clewiston and ten in Moore Haven. As a storm approach- es and the shelter.opens, emergency management personnel will still call those on the register to coordinate their plan. As previously, Good Wheels will still pick up people reg- istered for the PSN shelter or they may be transported there by family or friends. Remember, you must be ready to go when the Good Wheels .bus arrives it will not wait and it %\ill not return forvou. Health department nurse Susan Holland said staff stationed at the PSN will check patients in, along with their caregiver and supplies. They will go over their registration form and verify their information. Health department staff.is there to support caregivers, not take their place in any way, and to provide a calming effectwith a little extra TLC. The Glades County EMS will also be using the Muse Community Center as a staging area, so during the storm there will be the added advantage of having EMT/para- medics on hand if needed. Howev- er, once the storm passes and ambulances can again be on the road, theywill be responding to the many emergency calls that will inevitably be coming in. Residents should remember that all public shelters are "refuges of last resort" only. No comforts and no pets (so make sure to have a plan for your animals before the storm hits). Public shelters are crowded and noisy, with none of the relative comforts you woyld have at home, even \ ith a loss of power. Emer- gency personnel advise thal, if you have anywhere else to go during the storm, that's your best bet. Stay home, if possible, shelter with fami- ly or friends in a substantial struc- ture or leave the area. Ms. Osceola and Mr. Kochheiser remind all residents to start putting their hurricane supplies together now. Include necessary medica- tions (or at least a list of them), nonperishable foods, water, flash- lights, radios, batteries, extra newsza p corn Community Links. Individual Voices. .

Doc Savvy's Pet Corner Question: Dear Doc Savvy. My name is Ivan and so is my cat's! Although we have similar names, we do not have similar problems. Ivan is an indoor/outdoor cat with usually very little wrong going on. However just yesterday I noticed he had little white worms crawling out of his butt! It was %erN disgust- ing to say the least. I bought him a de-wormer at the. feed store but those darn things won't go away. What do I do, and where did he get those things from anyway? Ivan in Canal Point. Answer: Hey Ivan and Ivan! Sounds like Ivan the cat has tape- worms. Tapeworms are a type of intestinal parasite which are trans- mitted, by fleas! Not by a flea bite, but by eating a flea. More than like- ly Ivan the cat accidentally ate a flea while grooming himself. Tape- worms are gotten rid.of by a veteri- nary cesticidal de-wormer. In other words you have to go to the vet for help. This de-wormer comes in both pill and injection form,.and has to be repeated two weeks later. DocSawy Also Ivan, consider buying some advantage for your cat for monthly flea control? Hope that helps Ivan the person! Take care, Doc Sawy.

I noticed at the grocery store this week that papaya is in season. Papaya is one of Nature's "superfoods." Papayas are good sources of carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the min- erals, potassium and magnesium. The fruit is also a good source of dietary fiber. A ripe papaya will be mostly yellow to yellow-orange and will give slightly between your palms, but not be mushy. Papaya is also good for your digestion. It has long been used as the "health food" remedy for ulcers. Papaya enzyme helps break down foods. For this reason, papaya enzyme is often an ingredi- ent in meat tenderizers. Papayas are a tropical fruit. In the United States, they are grown in Hawaii, California and Florida. The following information about papayas came from the Uni- versity of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Services. The papaya \\as first described by the Spanish chronicler Oviedo in 1526 from the Caribbean coast of Panama and Colombia. It was soon grown throughout the trop- ics, its distribution undoubtedly being aided by an abundance of seed of relatively long viability (up to 3 years under cool, dry condi- tions). It has become naturalized in, many tropical regions, particularly in areas with fertile soils and abun- dant rainfall. Papayas are giant herbaceous, dicotyledonous plants which may produce fruit for more than 20 years. When cultivated, plants usu-, ally have a single trunk, but several with Katrina Esken branches may develop as the plants become older. Trees growing in fer- tile, well drained soils with sufficient moisture may reach a height of 30 feet or more. The grayish trunk is marked by characteristic large leaf scars and has soft, pulpywood. The large, deeply lobed leaves, some- times reaching 3 feet across, have hollow, soft petioles 2 feet or more in length. The melon-like fruit varies considerably in size and shape, and hangs from short, thick peduncles at the leaf axils. The papaya thrives best under warm conditions with abundant rainfall or irrigation. It cannot toler- ate strong winds, flooding, or frosts, and it recuperates very slow- ly if it has sustained considerable leaf or root injury. Temperatures of 30F or lower usually cause severe damage or death. Seeds reproduced abundantly and germinate readily (in 10 to 15 days) and uniformly Under suitable growing conditions fruit can be har- vested in 8 to 10 months. Seeds should be obtained from ripe fruit, \%ashed to remove the gelatinous aril, planted in small pots, and ger- minated under full sunlight.

Two to three seeds are sown per pot to compen- sate for low germinations, damage by insects, and removal of male plants. Planting distance depends on soil fertility, irrigation facilities, and location. The home owner should space his plants 8 to 10 feet apart. The use of machinery in com- mercial operations requires rows to be 12 to 15 feet apart, but plants should be 6 to 8 feet apart in the row. Seedlings are set in the field when 6 to 8 inches tall. They begin flowering after 5 months, and only one vigorous bisexual or female plant is allowed to grow, in each site all others being removed. In south Florida, if plants are set in the field in February or March, it is possible, with good care, to har- vest fruit in October or November. This requires starting seedlings in a greenhouse or under plastic, and protecting them against frosts by heating or sprinkler irrigation. In cooler areas of the state, May and June are better months for field planting, and good yields cannot be expected before the following April orMay. The soil should have good drainage. Papayas are very sensi- tive to even short periods of flood- ing. If not killed, they lose their vigor and regain it \ery slowly. Irrigation should be provided during dry spells because a fluctu- ating water supply may cause growth retardation, flower abor- tion, and dropping of young fruits. Papayas are last growing plants jU:.: U~~~Il~ib ilI J/. 580 S. Main St. SLaBelle, FL 33935 863 675-1973 If you are thinking of buying or selling, give us a call!

Supplemental fertiliza- tion is particularly important in infer- tile soils. Nitrogen and phosphorus are especially important In Florida, young plants should be started with /2 lb of a 10-10-10-5 mixture (with 30 percent of the nitrogen from nat- ural organic sources) at planting time or shortly after. This amount of fertilizer is applied every 2 weeks and should be increased gradually to 1'/2 lb until the plants are 7 to 8 months old. Thereafter, monthly applications should be sufficient, unless unusually hard rains occur. Fertilizer should be reapplied under these conditions. Green papaya ripeps at room temperature in about three to five days. Ripe papaya can be refrigerat- ed for week. A food safety note: If you still have colored hard-boiled eggs in your refrigerator from Easter, it is time to throw them a\vay. Accord- ing to the USDA food safety guide- lines, refrigerated hard boiled eggs may not be safe to eat if kept longer than a week. Hard boiled eggs left out of the refrigerator for more than 30 minutes should also be discard- ed. Boiling creates tinv holes in the egg shell. These holes are too lin\ to see, but large enough to allow bacteria to get into the egg Before making any change to your diet or exercise plan, consult your doctor. This is especially important if you are on any prescrip- tion medications. Some drugs inter- act badlywith foods that would oth- erwise be considered "healthy."

The Senate today voted unani- mously to send the measure to Governor Bush, just one day after the House approved it unani- mously. The legislation, sponsored by Senator Jeff Atwater and Repre- sentatives Michael Grant and Charlie Dean, was prompted by the investigation into the disap- pearance of Jessica Lunsford, whose body was fouhd not far from her home. As law enforce- ment officers investigated, rela- tives of the man eventually charged with the brutal murder were not forthcoming with authorities regarding his where-. abouts. Prosecutors concluded they had no avenue to charge the relatives under existing Florida law. The bill would change that and subject violators to up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. "In the last 24 hours, the Flori- da Senate and House have taken a major step to ensure that investi- gations are not foiled by some- one's misguided attempt to pro- tect a suspect, said Mr. Crist. "Pub- lic safety depends on law enforce- ment receiving accurate informa- tion quickly, and the False Witness bill will help make sure this happens. I commend the sponsors for guiding, the bill to speedy approval and look for- ward to Governor Bush signing it into law. The bill was approved 36-0 by the Senate, less than 24 hours after the House approved it 116-0. GA S FOR STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS, on ANNUITIES and INSURANCE PAYOUTS (800) 794.7310 J.G.

Mrs. Valentine wrote much about the history of the peo- ple and places around Lake Okee- chobee and about the lake itself. Together with Okeechobee's Betty Williamson, President of the Okee- chobee Historical Society, she co- authored a book, now in its sec- ond printing, "Strolling down Country Roads in Okeechobee." The following story comes from an intervieu.w Mrs. Iblenrine conduct- ed with Ossie Raulerson Ossie Raulerson remembered South Florida "outlaws": "There was a man named Mort Manning and he was the first to live on that ridge section of the lake. He always cussed a lot. He had an old parrot and he taught that old parrot to cuss just like he did. It would say, "By God, honey old fella," He was a tough old man. The rumor was that he got into a fight with a man, took a pocket knife and cut him to death. The man had a moustache and when the wind blew his mous- tache the old man thought he was still alive, so he cut him some more and that's why he was down here. He was an outlaw and all the out- laws came in to the ridge of the lake because no one could get to them. "The onKl way you could get to the lake \\as by the Kissimmee River or Taylor's Creek or if you wanted to go on the lake, you could co me in on the Caloosa- hatchee River. All around the lake where people live now\, they had old houses made of tar paper with a little lumber. La\\ enforcement men would not go there and if the\ got in there, they couldn't find any- body. You didn't even have a %wagon road, just a little path through the elderberries "Basinger was big enough to support two hotels then. I asked a friend who lived there why in the world they would come there. In the 1880s the- would come. My daddy told me there \\as a feller, named Hunter and he bought all that old prairie land north of Basinger. There was miles and miles of it and he built a little old house up there and. called it Hunter's Camp about a mile north of Zelta Durrance's north line up there. But the people from up North have alwaa s %w anted a piece of land in Florida The 'd come by steamboat down the Kissimmee to Basinger. Hunter's people had a horse and wagon ard the, 'd meet them at the landing and bring them up to the hotels at Basinger, about htwo or three miles from the river. The people would stay in the hotel special to iNi/www.lamartn.com William Hardy Walker's store in Basinger was there when lots up on the prairie were being sold to people brought in by steamboat by the Southern Colonization Company in the early 1900s. Special to INI/www.lamarlin.com This picnic in Basinger is dated 1906 1910 around the time when potential land buyers were being brought by steamboat to Basinger by the Southern Colonization Company. Recollections A series about Florida's pioneers and history until the nest day Thefi they'd carry them our to this camp, some three, four, five miles up, I guess on the old Peaxine Trail. "One day this feller. Hunter, he knew when there was a bunch coming dpwn .ad he'd go out there and dig up that old prairie land and plow up a bed and he'd bury big potatoesthere. Then he'd go out there with the'potato rake and dig them up and show the folks what fine big potatoes the land would grow out there. Those people were so vulnerable; they didn't know there was supposed to be a stem or a vine or anything to go with them. He'd just dig this potato up. He got some fruit trees and he'd put them in and keep them alive long enough while the people were here. He sold acres and acres of that old land out in there. You couldn't grow anything on it, but there was lots of people who bought five, ten and twenty acre plots., "There was a fella named Fergu- son out there at Seven Mile Gully. He built himself a two-story house along old Peavine out there and stayed there for a while. I never did see him, but I've been up there quail hunting many a time and we'd sleep on the porch of that house when it would be raining or something. We didn't go inside the house for fear it would fall down. "Of all the land sold out there, there -~as only two houses ever built there. Those people would pay the taxes on that land for aw\ while, and then they would just give it up.There \\as a lot of hunters here at that time, and they'd pay the taxes on it ten acres here and ten acres there to come to hunt. But there was a woman named Bass who lived in Avon Park who tried to keep them from hunting in there, but I;:used to hunt quail all over that place out there on that prairie land."

About 40 percent of this year's Ag Literacy Day readers were FFA students; 23 percent were Univer- sity of Florida/IFAS Extension and 4-H agents, master gardeners and students; 13 percent were Florida Farm Bureau and county Farm Bureau members; and 4 percent were Florida Cattlemen and Cat- tlewomen. The remaining num- ber of readers identified them- selves simply as educators or volunteers without an industry affiliation. They read to more than 75,000 Florida school children as part of Florida's third annual Agriculture Literacy Day, Thursday, March 16, which Florida Ag in the Class- room and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Ser- vices organize. "Agriculture Literacy .Day wouldn't have been nearly as suc- cessful without the help of our industry volunteers," said Heather Nedley, chairman of Florida Ag in the Classroom and executive director of Polk County Farm Bureau. '"We depend on -our grass-roots network ofvolunteers, and appreciate everything they do for us." Florida Agriculture Commis- sioner Charles H. Bronson applauded industry's participa- tion. "The best ambassadors of Florida agriculture are the folks who earn their living from it," Bronson said. "They can give stu- dents first-hand knowledge of their agricultural operations and help explain to these students where food, clothing and land- scape materials come from." Florida Ag in the Classroom received a grant from Monsanto for Florida Agriculture Literacy Day this year. The grant money allowed it to buy more books, and develop lessons for each book. Volunteers either read "Til the Cows Come Home," a story about a cowboy who uses and reuses a beautiful piece of leather and sees it as a sign of unending possibilities, or "Pig and Crow," a story about how a lonely pig who loves to bake learns the value of hard work and patience in a mod- ern day fable.A panel of 12 Flori- da teachers selected the books, which they said would reach pre- kindergarten through fifth grade. Florida Ag in the Classroom - a Gainesville-based, non-profit organization funded by the agri- culture specialty license tag or the "Ag Tag" provided the books free to volunteers who donated them to the school library after- ward. Each teacher received a les- son developed for the book. Each elementary school student received a bookmark summing up the economic and environ- mental contributions Florida farmers make to the state. Commissioner Bronson host- ed a press conference in Tallahas- see to kick offAg Literacy Day and sponsored a resolution that Gov. Jeb Bush and other Florida Cabi- net members adopted declaring March 16 as Florida Agriculture Literacy Day. National Agriculture Week was March 19-25 this year. Florida Ag in the Classroom is charged with educating students and teachers unfamiliar with agri- culture about the industry's importance. It provides curricula, materials, grant money and pro- grams that help kindergarten through 12th grade teachers incorporate agricultural concepts in their language arts, math, sci- ence and social studies classes, among other activities. Its resource materials are correlated to Sunshine State standards. Bakers support naming official state pie ATLANTA Edwards gourmet desserts and the American Pie Council (APC) has announced a show of support for Floridians who are fighting for an official state pie. The decision may come soon. State pie legislation has passed the Senate, sponsored by Senator Larcenia Bullard (D- Miami) and must now pass the Florida House of Representa- tives. If approved, Key Lime, an official symbol of Florida since 1994, will become the official state pie effective July 1, 2006. Passage of the so-called state pie legislation would be historic. Presently, only one state, Ver- mont, has an official state pie. In support of Florida's efforts, Edwards and the APC have part- nered to host a "Please Pass the Pie" campaign during the APC's annual Great American Pie Festi- val in Celebration, Florida, April 22-23, 2006. The APC is the only trade association dedicated to preserving America's pie heritage and promoting America's love of pies, year-round. The annual pie festival is the public portion of the four-day APC Event. "At Edwards, we believe that every state should have an offi- cial state pie if the people want it. State pies are a way to preserve a part of our national pie heritage," explained Melinda Pritchett, Edwards Brand Manager. "There's no way we could partic- ipate in this year's Pie Festival in Florida, without expressing sup- port for Senator Bullard and the state pie initiatives. This year's Festival message is simple: "Please Pass the Pie" "Please Pass the Pie", high- lights include an internet pod- cast, "Pie Day" at the Capitol, and mock ballot boxes for the public to vote in support of a state pie. While supplies last, the team will give away "Please Pass the Pie" promotional items at the Festival to raise awareness of the legislation. Linda Hoskins, Executive Director of the American Pie Council, invited dessert-lovers to join the Festival weekend, near Orlando, where some of the nation's best bakers will com- pete and share treats. "We'll have a great time. Guests can help themselves to the Festival's Never-Ending Pie Buffet. Schwan's Bakery, Inc., makers of Edwards, will host the annual Pie Eating contest. And, on a more serious note, we'll help spread the word that many Floridians want an official state pie. Hopefully, Florida will get that wish during this session." Florida's 2006 legislative session ends May 5th. The Georgia-based Edwards and the APC are non-partisan with respect to the state pie selection. The team recognizes that some consumers, for exam- ple, have expressed a preference for other varieties, particularly pecan. Nevertheless, Pritchett says it's the designation that matters because Edwards is known for its best-selling Key Lime, Georgia Pecan and Lemon Meringue pies. "Which pie becomes the state pie is for local pie-lovers to determine. But the act itself is historic," she explained. "Our hope is to see state pie legislation passed in Florida and in capitols across America." The Edwards Baking Compa- ny was founded in 1950 by namesake Tom Edwards as a small retail bakeshop in Atlanta, Georgia. Now based in Suwanee, Georgia, Edwards desserts are found in grocer's freezers nation- wide. Edwards recently announced the start of its popu- lar "Invent Your Own Indul- gence" recipe contest. Schwan's Bakery, Inc. is a division of The Schwan Food Company, a world- leading manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of frozen foods.

The Florida Public Service Commission has unveiled the PSC Conservation House Web page, an interactive tool for helping to educate consumers about ways to reduce monthly utility charges. Recent utility bill increases, caused by the escalating cost of fossil fuels used to produce elec- tricity, have customers seeking ways to conserve energy and save on their natural gas and electric bills. The Conservation House, is accessible through the Commis- sion's website. Visitors to the Conservation House website can pick up money saving tips such as improving insulation, using com- pact fluorescent light bulbs, and installing a programmable ther- mostat. "It has never been more important for Florida utility cus- tomers to take control of their energy use," Chairman Lisa Polak Edgar said. "The Conservation House gives customers informa- tion they can use to make the most of every dollar they spend on utility service." For additional information on the PSC Conservation House, contact Bev DeMello or Dick Durbin at 850/413-6480 or go to: http://psc.state.fl.us/consumers/ house/. Mumps: are your family's vaccinations up to date? TALLAHASSEE Florida Department of Health (DOH) advises all Floridians to be sure family vaccinations are up to date for the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine in light of the recent mumps outbreak in the Midwest. "We encourage everyone to know the status of their vacci- nations in order to ensure safe- ty and resistance against many diseases, including mumps," said DOH Secretary M. Rony Frangois, M.D., M.S.P.H., Ph.D. "Proper routine vaccinations help protect individuals and raise their levels of immunity. While vaccines are not 100 per- cent effective, they do offer the highest form of protection against harmful infections and diseases." Mumps is a contagious dis- ease spread by mucus or droplets from the nose or throat of an infected person, usually when such a person coughs or sneezes. Transmission can also occur if an infected individual touches an object with unclean hands and someone else touch- es the same surface and then rubs their eyes, mouth or nose. Transmission of this type rein- forces the importance of healthy habits, including proper hand washing, keeping fingers away from one's eyes, nose or mouth, and sneezing and coughing into a tissue or one's sleeve. Anyone who experiences the following symptoms: fever, headache, muscle aches, tired- ness and loss of appetite fol- lowed by the onset of parotitis swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears, on one or both sides), should immedi- ately contact their primary health care physician by phone and explain their symptoms in order to receive proper instruc- tions. Those individuals should also avoid contact with others until the cause of their symp- toms is certain. For additional information, visit DOH's Web site at www.doh.state.fl.us, click on the diseases and conditions tab on the left-hand side and select mumps from the list. To check on a vaccination status, contact your primary health care physi- cian or your local CHD. (i S0 0 Y ' I -I . I Public Notic~k~k E ri! Thursday.
