Individual Voices. I8 1111 Ill0l0 I 8 16510 00022 Cooperation is the real key Hendry, Glades begin dialogue By Patty Brant Hendry and Glades County Boards of County Commission- ers came together Tuesday evening in a historic joint work- shop meeting, discussing mutu- al issues ranging from the- health of Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee River to the need to plan bicycle paths. Overall, continuing quality of life is what this meeting was all about, and also what both boards are working to save for current residents and those who Willbecome neighbors. Although lake and river water issues are out of local hands, governed largely by the Corps of Engineers and South Florida Water Management, both Hendry and Glades offi-. cials understand they are of pri- mary importance. The varying uses of these bodies, including flood protection, water supply and recreation, add to the com- plexity of the issue which isn't really a single issue at all.. The officials also discussed coming up with a joint planning area. Obvious areas of mutual concern include the LaBelle Bridge and State Roads 80, 78 and 29 all major transporta- tion corridors that draw from and affect both counties, as well as North LaBelle and Muse. There was some discussion of a regional approach to utili- ties water and wastewater facilities that would straddle the county line. Public safety issues including fire, EMS, 911 and Emergency Management have long been problematic, although fire and EMS person- nel from both counties have worked together harmoniously for years. Transportation will have to be addressed long before real growth can occur, both boards agree, and they will be sorting out responsibilities, addressing sticking points and looking for common ground. The commissioners were all amenable to working asa team rather than as separate entities. Glades County Commission Chairman Butch Jones noted See Meeting Page 12 Zaragoza is named new S. Lake editor Jose Zaragoza, longtime reporter for The Sun, has been named as the news editor for The Sun, The Clewiston News and the Glades County Democ- rat newspapers. "Jose has proven his abili- ties as a community journalist and his dedication to the val- ues of the Independent News- papers group," said INI Florida Executive Editor Katrina Elsken. "As we take advantage of new technology, he'll work to improve the papers and their service to the communi- ties around the south side of Lake Okeechobee." The three weekly newspa- pers are part of the Indepen- dent Newspapers Florida group. They share office space in Clewiston. Originally a Texas native and beginning his journalism career with a small daily in Texas at the age of 19, Mr. Zaragoza has been in South Florida for the past five years and has been rooted in com- munity journalism for The Sun.

The students became involved in the controversy when residents and politicians of Lee County and the city of Sanibel began pointing accusa- tory fingers at the rural com- munities surrounding the lake, Moore Haven in particular for its close proximity to the river. Politicians on the West Coast of Florida launched a saber-rattling campaign and were, for all intensive purpos- es, calling for the end to rural life in and around Glades See Students-Page 12 On March 17 and 18, a National Tournament took place in Orlando at the Sheraton Hotel.

Budget conferees met throughout the weekend in Talla- hassee and reached a final agree- ment on several issues, including funding levels for several small county courthouse projects, on Mondayevening. Senator Smith announced that several rural counties have secured funding for courthouse facility improvements. "We've been fortunate in the past four years in that we've been able to secure funds for the facility needs of public courthouses in many rural counties in the state," said the Senator. "Having personally tried, cases as a prosecutor in many rural courthouses, I know that we have some very real facil- ity needs and recognize that it is difficult for many rural counties to foot the bill," he continued. The bill includes $550,000 for Glades County Courthouse Safe Record Area and $200,000 for the Hendry County Courthouse. Senator Smith serves as Vice- Chairman of the Senate Justice Appropriations Committee and chaired the committee during the 2003 and 2004 Legislative Sessions.

"Hendry Regional has free diabetes education class S Diabetes affects your heart and blood vessels. Complications include heart attack, coronary artery disease, stroke and poor circulation to the feet. Heart dis- ease affects 75 percent of those with diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes have an even great risk of cardiac complications because damage to blood vessels starts many years before blood sugar levels elevate. Insulin resistance, the cause of the Type 2 diabetes, leads to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and fat deposits 20-30 years before the blood sugars start to rise. Diabetes causes changes in the way fats are used in the body. Cho- lesterol and triglycerides elevate and the good cholesterol (HDL) level falls. The cholesterol becomes small, dense, and sticky, causing it to stick to the sides of blood vessels. This leads to atherosclerosis, fatty plaques that form on the sides of blood vessels and shrink the open- ing that carries blood to organs, arms and legs. The red blood cells become sticky and clump together, increasing the risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects more than half of all people with diabetes and plays a major part in the progress of eye and kidney problems. Blood pres- sure in people with diabetes increases with age and weight and is twice as likely in African- Ameri- cans as Caucasians. It adds to the higher risk of stroke. Hypertension worsens hardening of the arteries, where the walls of the arteries become thick and hard, leading to poor circulation. Prevention of heart complica- tions is possible with daily exercise, low fat diet and medications for hypertension and cholesterol. Call (863)983-1123 for more information.

Leaders to discuss rock pit By Jose Jesus Zaragoza PAHOKEE Pahokee city leaders are expected to review a proposal from U.S. Sugar for the operation of a rock pit near 20- Mile Bend. While officials have no say over whether or not the plans are approved by the county, leaders say they would like to know more :about the plans before giving them the city's stamp of approval. At this point, U.S. Sugar repre- sentatives say the proposal would allow it to lease a piece of property near 20-Mile Bend as a rock pit, west of an aggregate rock company near West Palm Beach. At least initially, the rock-min- ing operation is expected to cre- ate a number of new jobs, though an exact figure is not yet known. According to Judy Sanchez, director of corporate communications for U.S. Sugar, said the mining company is expected to grow through the years with the potential to encompass 4,000 acres of land. U.S. Sugar has signed a lease agreement with Stuart Mining, the company that \ ill manage and operate the mining site. Unlike companies like Palm 'Beach Aggregates near West Palm Beach whose constant stream of heavy truck traffic bogs down Southern Blvd. - the product dug at the site will be transported from the area via rail. Residents near the area and drivers who use the road to Canal Point often, U.S. Sugar: representatives said, should not expect to see the commercial vehicles on the highway. The next step for U.S. Sugar will come in the form of a request to Palm Beach County. It' is expected that the mining oper- ation will pass through the coun- ty's planning and zoning depart- ment for approval. Pahokee city officials at a recent meeting seemed unop- posed to the idea of supporting the concept, but ordered staff to get more information before they vote either way. 'The administration hasn't had the opportunity," to review the material, said City Manager Lillie Latimore. "We're going to \write them a nice, neutral letter and have them explain it to us." At least one commissioner agreed. "Give us time to look at this," said Commissioner Keith Babb. . By Patty Brant Homelessness can be fairly easy to hide. It's not only scruffy people living on the streets or in wooded areas. The homeless includes people who drill from relatives to friends to other rela- tives because they cannot afford a place of their ow\\n. Being homeless in ,Hendr CountN is a particular problem because there are so few\ servic- es here. The official norneless count, conducted Januar1 27. w\as 417; howve er, coalition mem- bers are sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. Of the 417 homeless counted. 95 \wee in Clewiston, the rest in LaBelle. With only a handful of volun- teers to canvas and almost all of those centered in the imme- diate LaBelle area -most of the county was not involved at all in the process. Of course, Hurricane Wilma added to the number of home- less left in this area, with 645 homes destroyed. The big dream is to open a shelter for the homeless, how- ever finding an appropriate site is a big issue as is the funding it would take. A possible site at the Freedom Fellowship Church has not panned out, but coalition members are continu- ing to search for the most appropriate means to serve the I homeless, whether it be a soup kitchen, an emergency shelter or transitional housing, which offers shelter for three months to two years and seeks to help solve the issues that cause homelessness, including drug abuse, a lack of job skills, tem- porary disability or just bad cir- cumstances. They are also con- sidering partner ing with other entities, such as Habitat for Humanity and local govern- ment. Last year the six-county coalition received $249,000 for local services. This year, the local coalition hopes to receive ,$450,000 for services. A new system to document the home- less is to be in place by the next official count, which will take place in January 2007. A system using electronic service points - Inputting homeless informa- tion into a data base is coim- ing into play. Three local groups will initially be licensed as take- in points: Freedom Fellowship Ministries, United Way and Sal- vation Army. The next homeless coalition meeting will be at the United Way House at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 18. The public is encour- aged to come learn more about homelessness and become a part of the solution.

Letter to the Editor Environmental issues deserve attention To the Glades County Board of Commissioners: On the 24th of April 2006, I attended the Glades Board of County Commissioners (BCC) public meeting. On the agenda was a presentation by South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) on "Recreational Oppor- tunities in Glades County." I was there simply to encourage the Glades BCC to hold SFWMD to a greater degree of accountability for ensuring that public access would be provided, in a timely manner, to the land purchased with tax rev- enue-ish dollars. Iwas also going to ask/recommend that the involved parties enter into an agreement where the FWC would be the lead agency in determining wildlife management issues and in desig- nating which areas were appropri ate and suitable for hunting and/or fishing. Well ..thank you Commis- sioner Ward for assuming incor- rectly that my statements would be otherwise. Your ensuing com- ments immediately led to my con- clusion of an obvious bias against Mr. Chesley, a resident of Glades County, and his determined efforts to improve and restore Lake Okee- chobee's habitat to the benefit of all who are, or should be concerned, about the future of this valuable natural resource. Central and South Florida's nat- ural resources have suffered immense harm as SFWMD and many elected officials seemingly catered to the interest of "Big Sugar." With a clearly known motive of financial gain, agricultur- al interests have almost single- handedly led to what may prove to be irreparable harm to the entire Okeechobee watershed and Ever- glades. As such, I find it absolutely appalling that you would call into question the motives of any individ- ual or group that may somehow benefit from projects such as the one proposed by Mr. Chesley and the nonprofit organization known as Lake Okeechobee Habitat Alliance (LOHA.) If as Commis- sioner Ward stated, he has given "great attention to the matter," it would be recognized that the list of beneficiaries from LOHA's propos- als includes not only hunters and fishermen, but those who enjoy wildlife viewing, boating, family . outings, etc., and the businesses of Glades County that have historically prospered as people enjoyed the Lake. Most of all, the lake itself would benefit; as would the water- shed southward; the fish and wildlife that depend on them; the citizens whose quality of life is equally dependent and tax-payers everywhere. Indeed, it was the average out- doorsmen and women; not politi- cians; NOT SFWMD; and most cer- tainly NOT "Big Sugar," that forewarned the disaster now occurring on Lake Okeechobee. It has been these same individuals, and groups, that have perservered great insult from those influenced by agricultural interests and devel- opers for decades. It has been my experience this still occurs. The dedicated efforts and persistence of these same outdoorsmen and women most definitely led the way to current restoration projects such as seen on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, the Everglades, and Lake Okeechobee. It's a crying shame their insightful understandings of the complexities of Florida's ecosystems were dismissed as they were. In myyears, I've had the oppor- tunity to attend many Board of County Commissioners-type meet- ings, in many counties across the State. Some of which involved very passionate views and opinions. Apparently this was once again the case April 24th. Following the com- ments of Commissioners Ward and Jones, I attempted to return to the subject I introduced as my purpose for being there. With little more than a sentence spoken, yet anoth- er Commissioner (Mr. Geisler) spoke over me-saying, "It's been a long meeting. Can we move ahead?" Being a guest in someone else's sandbox, in attendance as a repre- sentative of an organization and accepting that I was once again in a biased and possibly hostile envi- ronment; I chose to follow advice I've often given my sons, and "Do what (Gunsmoke's hero) Marshall Dillon would do." All things consid- ered, I excused myself from what appeared t6-" a p6ifiitss tonver: station as politely'as possible. As a man, I do belie an aeplogy to Mr.. Chesley is in order. Congratulations gentlemen and thank you for the enlightening experience. You have convinced me that I should take a greater personal interest in, and give greater atten- tion to, Lake Okeechobee's future. As a concerned Floridian, tax- payer, and frequent visitor to Glades County, Iwvill do as every responsible citizen should do; edu- cate themselves, get involved ... and stay involved. My hope is found in recent changes of attitude, of so many, towards our natural resources. The pendulum does swing both ways. Somewhere near the middle is a solution that benefits all, and pro- tects that which God chose to bless us with Florida's natural resources. Wouldn't it be grand if more people took the initiative. exemplified by folks like Mr. Ches- ley to protect and preserve Florida's outdoor legacy? I'm hopeful that our future encounters will be much more pro- ductive. With due respect, Allen Johnson Avon Park, Fla. Glades CuntDemCmtrt Our Purpose...

According to Hendry-Glades .Secretary Margaret England and Chapter President Stephen Buczynski, the chapter of Hendry-Glades Audubon became Florida's 43rd Volunteer Society on Jan. 14. Among the current activities the Audubon chapter partici- pates in is a birding tour of Storm-water Treatment Area Five (STA-5), where many species of native birds and wildlife are observed every sec- ond Saturday during the months from October to April. According to Mr. Buczynski, most of the participants in the tours of Ihe STA-5 located approximately 20 miles south of Clewiston off of SR 835 are birders from throughout the state, and a lot of nature enthusi- asts in Clewiston may not be aware that such a haven for wildlife and natural beauty exists so close to Clewiston. "The majority of our mem- bership is from, LaBelle' and other areas, and we are looking to recruit new members from the Clewiston area," said Mr. Buczynski. "The Audubon Soci- ety is about conservation and education. We would certainly, like to see this community and its residents become more involved and appreciative of its natural beauty," he said. The monthly meetings of the Hendry-Glades Audubon Society chapter are currently held in LaBelle. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 8, when guest speaker Marianne Korosy, a researcher at the Kissimmee River State Preserve, will speak and present informa- tion about grasshopper spar- rows, an endangered species native to the area. The meetings are held at the Dallas Townsend Extension Office at 1085 Pratt Blvd. in LaBelle. The May 8 meeting will be the society's final meeting before adjourning for the sum- mer months, after which meet- ings will resume in September. SAdditional 2006-2007 officers and board members include Vice-President Norman Dillman, Treasurer Janet Falk, and board members Arthur Gallagher, Martha Valiant, Nikki Yeager, Teresa Lazar, and Sonny Mow- bray. Potential new members inter- ested in joining the Audubon Society are encouraged to con- tact Mr. Buczvnski by calling (863i902-0856 or by e-mail (stephenbuc@:,earthlink.net). A victory that came through his hands By The Reverend Samuel S. Thomas, Ph.D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston There is an Old Testament story about a battle between the people of Israel and the Amalekites who attacked them (Exodus 17:8ff). Moses was leading the Israelites with his staff in his hand, raised over the warring troops. The report notes that "as long Samuel S; as Moses held Thomas up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning (verse 11)." Finally, Moses grew tired, so they found a stone for him to sit on, then Aaron and Hur stood on each side and held his hands up "...so that his hands remained steady till sun- set. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword (verses 12-13)." The story ties together victory with God's pres- ence being invoked; victory was somehow tied to raising ones hands to call upon God to be present even as the worst of ene- mies were attacking. There is something special about asking God's blessing even at the worst of times. I watched a news account of someone trying to sell a hbuse without success, until he called on a minister to bless it. Others had similar expe- riences and the news report ended by noting that there were now realtors calling upon clergy for house blessings when prop- erties don't move! A bit supersti- tious, you say? Perhaps, but what is going on? It may be that the seller comes to believe and thus changes his attitude; the realtor shows the house to someone once again because his confidence (faith?) is restored that. the property will move, his belief about the prop- erty is restored, the people of Israel come to believe victory is theirs because God wants it and they will do what it takes; i.e. raising ones' hands in prayer. Apparently it was work for Moses to keep his hands elevat- ed that day; he had to have help. Nevertheless, he offered his work to God and that's where his blessing came from. He had others help him too; they saw his belief and so they supported his work, literally, but they were all rewarded. Raising hands in prayer is work when it's done right! There is a Greek word, "Liturgy" which commonly refers to 'Church services but means in its roots "the work of the people." In fact, when we pray diligently and fervently, that is hard work. Someone said "Prayer changes things, or you change!" and this statement must have come from many hours of holding up hands with nothing happening as planned or predicted. Then as hands might be about to drop in frus- tration and disappointment, there comes an insight that maybe the wrong things were asked for, or maybe God has other ideas, or maybe we're about to learn something. Victo- ry fdr the-lsraelites didn't come- that day because Moses blessed' all by hinsef, he had help along the way. Our prayers need our best work, and at times we should rely on the works of oth- ers to support us too. Churches keep prayer lists, "holding up" to'. God the prayers of many to sup-. port the prayers of those seeking victory in one way or another. When our spiritual arms tire, there are others to pick them up and share with us the burden of the spiritual struggle that goes on even beyond our physical or spiritual strength. When we, would like to give something to someone, we can support them in prayer even when they seem tired, frustrated, disappointed, discouraged. That has to do with the importance of being part of a; faith community and worship. It is truly "the work of the people," hard work if done right and the victory that comes to those who believe enough to really keep atit. Thank God for our mothers' true love By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church A teacher gave her class of sec- ond graders a lesson on the mag- net and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: "My full name has six letters. The first one is "M," I pick up things. What am I?" When the test papers Were turned in, the teacher was aston- ished to find that almost 50 per- cent of the students answered the question with the word Mother. Mothers are important to us. That's one of the reasons we set aside a special day to honor them each May. Mothers pick things up. Mothers sacrifice so we might be blessed. Mothers love us to the end. When I think about what mothers do and give, I think back to something that happened in Yellowstone National Park in 2002. Landscapes in Yellowstone have long been shaped creeping ground fires often described as good for vegetation growth. These are.hot, wind-driven fires that burn up everything in their path. In the 2002 fire season, there were total of 46 fires 4 power line fires and 42 lightning- caused fires. After each fire, the staff at Yel- lowstone National Park goes to work surveying the impacts of the fires on wildlife, plants, historic structures, trails, etc. During one of these assessments, rangers came across a vivid testimony to a mother's love. At the base of a tree, complete- ly charred in ashes, was the car- cass of a bird. Somewhat sick- ened by the sight, one of the rangers turned the bird over with a stick. When he did, three tiny chicks scurried out from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother bird, aware of the impending disaster, had carried her babies to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, protecting them from the heat and smoke. She could have flown to safety, but had refused to abandon her little ones. Because she, had been will- ing to die, her babies under the cover of her wings would live. God's promise in Psalm 91:4 is that "He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Just like the bird, our God loves us sacrificially, and longs to gather us together, as a hen gath- ers her chicks under her wings for protection and nurture. (Matthew 23:37) Many times, mothers are the instrument God uses. Moth- er's Day is coming up soon. Why not use it as an opportunity to remember to thank God for the many sacrifices mothers make. It is also a good time to give honor to mothers everywhere thank- ing God not only for our present mothers, but for future mothers and mothers past, and for those special mothers with have no chil- dren of their own but are mothers to children of others. Mothers, we thank God for you! For all of the sacrifices you make, for all that you do, for the kindness you show, for the love you give, and for the example you are. We love you ,with all our hearts! May God bless you on your special day, and "may you be rich- ly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."

Varnum faces 31 counts of grand theft By Eric Kopp OKEECHOBEE A former mobile home dealer in Okee- chobee has once again been placed behind bars when he was arrested last week at. a mobile home dealership in Sebastian. Michael A. Varnum, 55, of Clewiston, has been charged with 30 counts of. grand theft and one count of organized scheme to defraud. He was booked into 'the Indian River County Jail Friday, April 28, under a bond of $1,239,500. He was booked into the Okee- chobee County Jail Monday afternoon, May. 1. Varnum was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Lieutenant Michael E. Sheehan. Varnum was working as a sales- man at Whispering Palms Manu- factured Home Community on U.S. 1 in Sebastian. Accompany- ing Lt. Sheehan was Detective John Zeigler of the Okeechobee City Police Department (OCPD). Varnum is the former sales manager for Taylor Creek Mobile Homes in Okeechobee. Prior to that, he owned Central Homes of Okeechobee, Inc., which filed for bankruptcy'in May of 2004. He was arrested in March of '05 by the FHP on warrants from Okeechobee County that charged him with grand theft and tax fraud of over $20,000 but less than $100,000. He was also arrested in June of 2004 on a "charge- of uttering a 'fforged instrument. He went to trial and was acquitted of that charge by Judge Robert Makemson. Since Varnum's latest arrest, a weary Detective Zeigler has been in the process of contact- ing the 30 victims to tell them that Varnum's been arrested and now they need to set a date to meet with the state attorney. "It's been exhausting," said the detective of the two-year investigation. "I haven't been able to find him in the last two years. We heard he was in Vero Beach, Punta Gorda, Sebastian and a couple of other places. FHP finally got a break and found him." According to State Attorney Ryan Butler, FHP was the origi- nal investigating agency when the initial complaint was filed in 2003. FHP has jurisdiction since mobile home licenses are regu- lated by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Simply put, the OCPD detec- tive indicated complaints were, filed against Varnum alleging fraud and grand theft. Detective Zeigler said Varnum would, at the time of purchase, accept multiple deposits from cus- tomers without ordering or delivering their mobile or modu- lar home. He said the losses sustained by the 30 victims are over $940,000. And to some, the money they lost was everything they had. "Some of the victims have had to move in with their sons or. daughters to survive financially," said Detective Zeigler. He went on to say if anything comes of this case, he hopes it is better regulation in the mobile home industry. One regulation he hopes to see is that when someone orders a home, their money is placed into an escrow account: "There's no provision by law to keep customers' funds in escrow accounts. The industry doesn't require that," he contin- ued. "Many of the victims thought their money was pro- tected. "There have been a lot of tears cried in this office," added Detective Zeigler as he recalled, talking to victims in his OCPD office, where boxes upon boxes marked "Varnum" are stacked on his desk. By Monday afternoon, Detec- tive Zeigler said he had contact- ed about half of the victims and told them that Varnum was under arrest. "A lot of them are ecstatic. I had one lady tell me she loved me," he said with a smile. "They're looking for closure in all of this. They want to put this behind them." Neither Detective Zeigler nor Mr. Butler knew if Varnum has an attorney.

All Vehicles Available At Time Of Press. ---------- Il ~s~ Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, May 4, 2006 -- Water management important to every Floridian A home-brewed pot of morn- ing coffee and a quick drive to the grocery store probably don't get you thinking about water man- agement. Yet you benefited from it in many ways. From the flowing tap at your kitchen sink to the well-drained roadways through- out your town, water manage- ment smoothed your way. Even the green lawns and the protected wetlands.you may have driven by are there because of careful water management. Who provides this vital serv- ice? Most directly, it is local water utilities and public works organi- zations in your city or town. But who works behind the scenes, keeping the water flowing for them? That's the job of the South Florida Water Management Dis- trict. This government agency takes on the many tasks of man- aging water in a 16-county region that stretches from Orlando to the Florida Keys and from Fort Myers toFort Lauderdale. Carol Wehle, executive direc- tor, describes the District's com- mitment to carrying out its broad mission. "Our agency works around the clock to. meet the water needs of 7 million people, thousands of businesses-includ- ing vast agricultural lands-and various habitats and ecosystems in the natural environment," Ms. Wehle said. With responsibilities much broader in scope than a local water utility, the District addresses water issues at the regional level, managing flows in South Florida's primary rivers, lakes, canals, wet- lands and estuaries. An important part of this responsibility is provid- ing essential flood control, work- ing with local and county facilities to quickly and safely move water S.. Hendry County Commission M meeting Chairman Darrell Harris was impressed with the way the two Continued From Page 1 boards and staff met the chal- the importance of issues that lenge of their first meeting. cross the county line "issues "We'll continue as needed," he like water, development growth said,' and we 'need to get Lee and traffic I could go on, and and Charlotte counties involved, on." too". Editor Continued From Page 1 among the best that I have worked with across the country and I take pride in the fact that I have worked with some of the best. Jose brings a lot of youthful energy into this position, but at the same time brings a solid foun- dation of news experience that will serve our communities well." Mr. Zaragoza's journalistic progress has been steadfast thanks largely to his unyielding commitment to the communities in which he serves. "Since starting work here, I have developed a strong connec- tion with the community and I look forward to the many excit- ing prospects the future holds for the cities and towns around the lake," he said. "There's no doubt about it, change is coming to our area and it will be up to our resi- dents to decide whether it is ulti- mately good or ultimately bad. Our job is to provide the unbi- ased information' necessary for our citizens to make their own determination." Mr. Zaragoza is intent on maintaining the high quality of standards that is INI's commit- ment. "Our newspaper will continue to serve in the role of the home- town paper, and my goal is to embrace all of the things that our residents would like our paper to be," he said. "The newspaper has become an important 'bulletin,' a weekly catch-all document, that our readership has come to rely Students Continued From Page 1 County, asking state and federal agencies to flood out the agricul- tural communities in lieu of the continuing pulse releases into the river. The Moore Havens students launched a campaign of their own, one designed on education. Through, a thorough fact finding mission, the students gathered facts and figures on what was actually occurring within the Caloosahatchee River and where the bulk of their problems were stemming from, which pointed an appropriate finger to the mas- sive development of areas to the north, more so than Lake Okee- chobee, although everyone agreed at that time that pulse releases were not helping the situ- "Our newspaper will continue to serve in the role of the hometown paper, and my goal is to embrace all of the things that our resi- dents would like our paper to be. The news- paper has become an important 'bulletin,' a, weekly catch-all docu- ment, that our reader- ship has come to rely upon. My aim is to con- tinue that tradition."

Former News Editor Mark Young resigned as of April 28. Mr. Young said he will be the general manager of new Florida sports publication and that he proudly turns over the reigns of the news editor position to the former senior reporter. alion. The students developed a power-point presentation that has been seen and applauded by local, state, and federal agencies alike. As part of their reward in their continued mission to be involved in educating the public, the students were invited to Talla-. hasee under the sponsorship of State Senator Dave Aronberg (D- Greenacres). Eight students and Ms. Drake took the trip to the state capitol where they attended a House Water and Natural Resources Committee meeting to discuss House bill 1241, which involves the Caloosahatchee/St. Lucie Rivers Corridor. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Trudi Williams (R-Ft Myers), was already known about by the stu- dents who had heard of the bill during the nine-county coalition in, storm-related emergencies. During a drought, the agency manages limited available water supplies and calls for region-wide conservation efforts. The District also protects water quality with pollution prevention requirements and ongoing moni- toring programs. Additionally, the agency safeguards the natural environment, including a partner- ship with the federal government to revitalize the Everglades ecosystem. "All of these tasks are accomplished with public involvement and a commitment to public service," said Ms. Wehle. That's a lot to think about dur- ing a trip to the grocery store. Yet managing water is only part of what this agency does. By monitoring water quality, depths and flow in lakes, rivers, canals and wetlands, District scientists continue to gain deeper knowl- edge about the region's unique ecological needs. By bringing land into public ownership, long- term restoration projects can move forward. By constructing new pump stations, water storage sites and wastewater reuse sys- tems, the District stays prepared to meet the needs of South Flori- da's rapidly growing population. The expertise needed to pro- vide these many services is excep- tional.

Some of the students toured FSU while the others.attended the committee meeting and senior Jennifer Haman \was able to testi- fy before the committee in regards to the students' ongoing project. Ms. Haman was received well by the committee who intends to appoint a 17-member board that would meet at least five times within the next year and who will then report directly to the gover- nor and the State Legislature to propose solutions to the problem. This committee will include representatives of all involved counties, including Glades Coun- ty representatives, which could include anyone from local politi- cians to tourism representatives, to local farmers.

"This time we were on the same side with Sanibel and Lee County, as they were there in full force in support of the bill," said Ms. Drake. "This indicates a great step in the direction of inland and coastal communities working together instead of against one another" To further highlight the impact these students have had on this subject, the Moore Haven seniors received an award from SFWMD for their research on this project, at an April 12 meeting in Okee- chobee. SFWMD stated that the stu- dents' involvement in this very complicated subject has helped bring civility to the argument and has helped in finding common ground. "The county should be proud of our students and their work on this issue," said Ms. Drake.

Sim Putmon finished eleventh in the boys 400 meter dash, run- ning a preliminary round time of 50.76 and final round 52.19. Richard Pope, who ran 110 meter hurdles, finished but was eliminated with a DQ for running around a hurdle. Warren Wood ran 300 meter hurdles, finishing 12th. For the boys 4x400 relay, Clewiston runners finished ninth with a final round time of 3:28.39. The four participants in the relay were senior Daniel Collins, soph- omore Brian Lindsey, junior John Melton, and junior Sim Putmon. Junior David Pope threw shot put for the Tigers, finishing 15th with a total distance of 13.91 meters. Total team rankings for the women resulted with Clewiston women finishing in 30th place with six points from 17 events scored. The Clewiston Men fin- ished 25th with eight points from 17 events scored. FWC lists top catfishing destinations By Bob Wattendorf Kim Bonvechio and Phil Chapman Florida's freshwater catfish, including bullheads, are among the most popular for the table, and they are relatively simple and fun to catch. Many anglers bag them with a basic cane pole, bobber, sinker and small hook baited with earth- worms, just fishing along the bank for a good olewhisker-mouth. Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission (FWC) biol- ogists have compiled this list of great catfish destinations and tips. Escambia River: Battle some big channel catfish from mid-April through June and early October into November if the water stays Sports in Brief Wanted: High school football officials CLEWISTON Have you ever thought about becoming a foot- ball official? Well, according to Nick Smith, Game Assigner for the South Gulf Football Officials Association (SGFOA), there has never been a better time. According to Mr. Smith who is a LaBelle resident and veter- an high school official, a very severe shortage of officials for all sports at all levels exists nation- wide. The demand for officials in Florida has outgrown the growth of the officiating ranks. Mr. Smith said the SGFOA will train, assign games and pay you for officiating high school games. Youth (Pop Warner) officiating can also be scheduled through SGFOA membership. The spring recruiting meeting of the SGFOA will be held Monday May 8, beginning at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria at Fort Myers Senior High School. All persons interested are invited to attend the meeting and/or call Nick Smith at (863)675-3502 for more. information. Lifeguards needed CLEWISTON The city 'f. Clewiston Recreation Department is hiring Red Cross Certified life- guards for the 2006 summer term. Starting pay is $9 per hour. Appli- cations are available at Clewiston City Hall. Big Bucks tournaments are coming CLEWISTON Fishing tour- naments will be held May 6-7, and June 10- 11.The Big Bucks Tourna- ments allow for larger paybacks and more prizes. These are two- day events with total two-day weight winning the tournaments. Multiple places \will be paid based on the number of participants. Entries may be picked up at local bait and tackle shops, on the Bass Busters Web site at www.bass- bustersflorida.com or by calling Chris Fickly at (941)232-9539. The Team entry is $200 and includes the Big Bass Jackpot. All tourna- ments run from Safelight to 3 p.m.. Sign-ups are accepted up until tournament start time at the city ramp in Clewiston. Coast Guard makes house calls LAKE OKEECHOBEE Did you know the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary makes house calls? They will come to your home to discuss the required safety equipment needed on your boat.- This service is free. You will receive a cordial, informative and confidential boat inspection. A vessel safety check decal will be placed on boats that meet all the requirements. Call 467-3085 to arrange a boat check. warm. Catch small catfish year- round, but expect the action to slowwhen it is cold. Apalachicola River Wear yourself out, hauling in big channel cats here from late May into early July. Flatheads pick up in April, and action runs into the summer. Small catfish bite pretty much year- round, but spring and summer months are best. Fish river bends and snags from Jim Woodruff Dam south, old creek channels, Lake Seminole backwaters and around mouths of tributaries. Choctawhatchee River: This baby has 30-pound flatheads all over the place, and several years ago, biologists collected and released a 46/2-pound channel cat- fish that would have been a new state record if they'd caught it on a hook and line. There's plenty of big channel catfish from May through early July and October into Novem- ber if the water slays warm. You find most of the big catfish in the northern half of the river. Small cats keep biting year-round but slower when it's cold. St Johns River and Dunn's Creek: Early May through June is the best time to go after big chan- nel catfish here. Small catfish always are around, but spring and fall seem to be the best times to land them. Fish Dunn's Creek to Lake Crescent, Murphy's Creek from the St. Johns River to Dunn's Creek and the river from Palatka to Little Lake George. Try the hole on the north side of Buffalo Bluff Bridge, but bring plenty of hooks and weights, sincelots of snags will costyou some tackle. Ocklawaha River: Keep your fish fryer ready, and go after big channel catfish May through June and October until mid-November. Small catfish stay hungry year- round here. Fish from Rodman Dam to the St. Johns River and the west end of Rodman Reservoir to Moss Bluff lock and dam. Catfish hang out below Rodman Dam in the spring. Put soy cake around fall- en trees the day before fishing to attract catfish. When the water is clear, night-fishing is the way to go. Ochlockonee River: April is when flathead catfish start biting, and mid-May into early summer, channel catfish join in, and the action stays hot until October or November. Small catfish bite year- round, but slow down in cold months. The Talquin tailrace area is a honeyhole. Suwannee/Santa Fe Rivers: Big channel catfish just beg to get caught here from late April through June. Small catfish bite pretty much year-round. Try the lime rock areas throughout the river, particularly the upper and middle reaches; deadfalls are best in the lower river. Clermont Chain of Lakes: You can catch cats here all year, but spring and fall are, best. Offshore, open-water areas, particularly near drop-offs or around bottom struc- ture are the hptspots. Canals and channels that connect the lakes are good too when the water is flow- ing. Commercial trotliners catch catfish with chunks of freshly caught gar in bigger channels and with honey bees in smaller chan- nels. Haines Creek: This is a good place to bag big channel catfish from mid-April through June and October and November as water temperatures begin to drop. Small cats bile year-round here, especial- ly where waler is flowing Try the creek between lakes Eustis and Griffin, especially below the lock and dam. Upper Kissimmee Chain of Lakes: Big channel catfish spawn- ing peaks between April and June. Bullheads primarily spawn from October into November but can spawn year-round. Look for mov- ing water. That's where catfish gather. Try the drop-offs in the canals and below the Kissimmee River structure. In and around the mouth of Shingle Creek is another good spot, and so are the fish attractors. Southwest Florida Lakes - There are lots of them Tenoroc Fish Management Area, Mosaic Fish Management Area, Hardee Lakes Park, Lake Manatee, Medard Park, Dover District Park and Stephen J. Wortham Park. Catfish angling is best during the warmer months, but these fish bite in win- tertime too. Catfish are usually most active in the morning and evening. Night-fishing can be out- standing sometimes. Fish on the bottom with a wide variety of baits from chicken livers to commercial stink baits. Larger catfish go for small shiners and minnows. Cat- fish concentrate around automatic fish feeders in lakes and ponds that have them. Around the feeders, use small pieces of dog food, bread and hot dogs for bait. Channel cat- fish typically school where the bot- tom drops off and also hang around the deeper, outside edges of weed beds. One more thing: The first 3,000 resident anglers to buy a five-year freshwater fishing license after March 1, 2006 will receive a pack- age of free fishing equipment in the mail automatically. This will likely continue to be available until around the beginning of June, but to be certain, visit MyFWC.com/Fishing/5yr- 2006.html. The license cost is only $61.50 and remains valid even if license prices go up, or you move out of state. Visit MyFWC.corr Fishing/Fore- casts for quarterly updates on fish- ing around the stale and more details about the best places to go.

And, it could be much more difficult to manage than canker.' - "Citrus greening is a serious disease that is systemic in a plant and can go undetected for some period of -time," explains Michael Rogers, assistant profes- sor of entomology at the Univer- sity of Florida Citrus Research. and Education Center. "We don't know exactly how long it takes for a plant that's infected to begin showing symptoms. "Right now, the disease is present throughout the southern part of the state," he continues. "We don't know exactly how far it's spread. The fact that we can't diagnose or detect greening-pos- itive trees in the grove is a real problem for us." Greening is spread by an insect the Asian citrus psyllid. The pest has been present in Florida since 1998 and has become well established throughout the state's citrus growing areas. Consequently,. managing the spread of greening depends on controlling psyllid populations. "We can't eradicate the psyl- lid, because it's too well estab- lished in the state," points out Rogers: "But, managing infesta- tions will be important to slow the spread of greening. We'll, probably see several additional insecticide applications each year for psyllid management, especially on young trees." .Young citrus trees continually put out new leaves, or flush, and are the most attractive targets for Sepcial to INI/Douglas L. Calwell, Univ. of Fla. Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences The adult Asian citrus psyllid must be managed to stop the spread of citrus greening in Florida. psylla, which need new flush to feed and reproduce. In spring and early summer, when tem- peratures hold steady in the 70 to mid-80 degree range, a single female psyllid can lay as many as- 700 to 800 eggs. That creates the potential for psyllid populations to grow very quickly. "Psyllid populations are start- ing to build up right now," warns Rogers. "We had a cold snap several weeks ago, and psyllid populations dropped off a bit. Now we're,starting to see those populations rebound and build up on the flushes that are pres- ent." According to Rogers, an inte- .grated pest management pro- gram, including both biological: and chemical controls to keep all nursery arid young trees psyllid- Email: sandstravel@adelphia.net STATE OF FLORIDA REGISTRATION #ST36324 free, is the most effective means for controlling the pest and limit- ing the devastation from' green- ing. Groves should be scouted regularly, and those where psylla are present should be treated prior to each flush. "The most important thing when psyllid is found in your. grove is to manage them and slow down the spread of the dis- ease in that grove in order to maintain citrus production in an economically-feasible manner," Rogers suggests. The University of Florida rec- ommends several insecticide products for rotational use in psyllid control, including Admire, Provado, Temik, and Lorsban-4E insecticide. "The goal for insecticide use is to reduce the psyllid popula- tion," reminds Rogers. "It's kind of a numbers game. We need to lower the psyllid population to help slow down the spread of the disease." Many growers have found that the cost effective control of Lorsban helps keep psyllid pop- ulations in check, plus provides broad spectrum protection against other pests found in groves, including Citrus rust mite, scale, mealybugs, aphids, Whiteflies and fire ants. The product's quick knockdown action also allows for faster recolonization of beneficial insect populations, which are also important to psyllid man- agement. , "In countries that have been dealing with citrus greening for a number of ears, growers have been able to keep the incidence of the disease fairly low," says Rogers. "And part of that pro- gram has been using insecticides to manage psyllid populations and timing those insecticides properly when populations are beginning to build up." Lorsban is a trademark of Dow AgroSciences LLC, Lorsban-4E insecticide is a federally Restricted Use Pesti- cide. Always read and follow label directions. Florida Citrus Mutual urges immigration reform Florida Citrus growers this week applauded the efforts of U.S. Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) in working to bring about com- prehensive immigration reform. Florida citrus growers are encouraging congressional leaders to take action on the Hagel/Martinez bill when Con- gress returns to Washington next week. The Hagel/Martinez bill shows a clear understanding of the special needs of "Florida's citrus growers," said Florida Citrus Mutual Interim Executive Vice Presidenl'CEO Jay Clark. "We applaud Senator Martinez for ensuring that the bill recognizes and meets the unique challenges faced by citrus grow- ers and other labor intensive agri- culture industries." Ag labor has always been viewed as a special case and the Martinez'Hagei Compromise continues to recognize the differ- ences and challenges that labor- intensive agriculture industries face The compromise includes the reforms of the 50 wear old H2- A agriculture worker program to make it more user friendly and affordable for all growers. The current H2-A program is badly outdated and only encompasses about 2 to 3 percent of the entire agriculture labor force. Further, the Hagel/Martinez bill includes a one-time opportu- nity for trained and experienced agriculture workers who lack proper immigration status to undergo a background check, pay a substantial fine, a required commitment to stay in the agri- culture workforce for at least 3 years to eventually earn the right to apply for legalized status. In addition, the prevailing wage employers must pay agriculture workers will be frozen for the next three \ears to allow% employ- ers to adjust to the new program. These are all substantial improvements over the current. out-dated and badly broken agri- cultural worker program. "Comprehensive immigration reform is vital to Florida's citrus industry. As a group we are proud Senator Martinez has taken the lead on this issue," Mr. Clark concluded.

This project is excellent for do-it-yourselfers who want the aesthetic qualities of a cupola, as well as for those willing to do the extra work for ventilation. (It is, however, a good idea to consult with a profes- sional before cutting a hole in the roof.) The finished cupola measures 25 inches square by about 36 inch- es tall and adjusts to fit any roof pitch.

Doc Savvy's Pet Corner Earth Talk Question" Dear Doc Savvy. My name is John, and I enjoy reading your column tremendously! Here is my :question: Do pets go to Heaven? John and Liz S. Answer: Hello there John- and Liz. Yes, this is a tough one to try to answer! Doc Actually there Savvy isn't really one answer, but there are plenty of opinions. So, here goes mine. I believe they do. The best way for me to describe my view of what pet Heaven is like, is a poem called, The Rainbow Bridge ". Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and con- tent, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very spe- cial to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one sud- denly stops and looks into the dis- tance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carry- ing him faster and fast You have been when you and your finally meet, you clin joyous reunion, neve again. The happy kis, your face; your hands the beloved head, a once more into the tr your pet, so long go life but never abseo heart. Then you cross Ra together ... Author unknown..

Nevertheless, environmentally questions to concerned consumers might feel , and check better recycling such batteries any- weekly in The way, as they still do contain trace amounts of mercury and other potentially toxic stuff. Some municipalities will accept these I batteries (as well as older, more toxic ones) at household haz- ardous waste facilities, from where they will most likely be sent elsewhere to be processed and recycled as components in new batteries. Other options abound, such as the mail-order service, Battery Solutions, which will recycle your spent batteries at a cost of 85 cents per pound. To find a company near you where you can drop off your old batteries for recycling, check out the comprehensive national database at the Earth911.org web- site. Meanwhile, the national chain, Batteries Plus, is happy to take back disposable batteries for recycling at any of its 255 retail stores from coast-to-coast. Users" Consumers should note that any old batteries they may find buried in their closets that were made before 1997-when Con- gress mandated a widespread mercury phase-out in batteries of all types-should most surely be recycled and not discarded with the trash, as they may contain as much as 10 times the mercury of I newerversions. Perhaps of greater concern nowadays is what's happening to spent rechargeable batteries from cell phones, MP3 players and lap- tops. Such items contain potential- ly toxic heavy metals sealed up. inside, and if thrown out with the regular garbage can jeopardize the environmental integrity of both landfills and incinerator emissions. Luckily, the battery industry spon- sors the operations of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), which facili- tates the collection of used rechargeable batteries collected in an industry-wide "take back" pro- gram for recycling. Consumers can help by limiting their electronics purchases to items that carry the RBRC logo on their packaging. Furthermore, they can find out where to drop off old rechargeable batteries (and even old cell phones) by calling RBRC's hotline at 1-800-8BATTERY or by visiting the online drop location finder at RBRC.org. Also, most Radio Shack stores will take back rechargeable batteries and deliver them to RBRC free-of-charge. RBRC then processes the batteries via a thermal recovery technology that reclaims metals such as nick- el, iron, cadmium, lead and cobalt, repurposing them for use in new batteries.

Without the proper eye drop treatment, this eye disease can cause scar- ring of the cornea and result in permanent blurry vision, or even blindness. The board strongly recom- mends that consumers immedi- ately discontinue use of Bausch & Lomb Renu with Moisture Loc solution until CDC's investiga- tion is completed. The board also strongly encourages anyone who has used the solution and is having eye problems to see an eye professional immediately. The board would like to remind all contact lens wearers to follow their eye doctors' instructions on hygiene and proper wear of their contact lenses, and to follow these six recommendations for clear and safe contact lens wear: Always wash your hands before handling contact lenses. Carefully and regularly clean contact lenses. .* Store lenses in a clean and proper case, replacing the case every three months. Use only cleaning products recommended by your eye pro- fessional. Never re-use old solution. .* Replace contact lenses as prescribed by your eye doctor. i maEa^ A IBW As seen FOR STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS, on TV. ANNUITIES and INSURANCE PAYOUTS (800) 794.7310 Ja.

Sullivan Veterans remembered In recognition of Governor Jeb Bush's proclamation establishing April as Florida Confederate Month, the Ft. Myers United Daughters of the Confederacy Chapter 2614 and the Sons of the Confederate Veterans of Ft. Myers Chapter 1950 held memorial service April 15 to honor those who defended the Confederate States of America in the Civil War. They also celebrated the life of Brad Stanford of St. James City, who died March 29 at the age of 95. He was he last son of a Confederate veteran. Among those members attending the ceremony were Louise Sullivan, her daughter, Mary Ann Sullivan and granddaughter Heather Tharpe, whose grandfather William Charles Hawkins was honored. He served with the First Florida Cal- vary from 1862 until he was paroled at the surrender in Greensboro, North Carolina IN 1865. He was one of only 20 in his unit to survive after serving in all the major battles for the duration of the war. Pictured are from left to right: Mary Ann Sullivan Louise Sullivan and Heather Tharpe. Should you be vaccinated for the mumps again? The mumps are back. A childhood disease we thought was just an unpleasant memory is back in the news as cases of mumps turn up in the Midwest. I was among the last of my gen- eration t6 have suffered through the mumps. The vaccine \was not yet available \when-l entered school.. Mumps, as I remember it, came with fever, nausea and difficulty swallowing. I also remember hav- ing the mumps on both sides of my face. This not only accounted for the difficulty swallowing, but also made it difficult to talk. I also recall that because I caught mumps during the sum- mer, I didn't even have the benefit of missing school! It is possible to have mumps on only one side of your face, and if you only have it on one side, it is possible to have it again, on the other side. Recently in the news doctors confirmed that it is possible to have the mumps twice, making the announcement as if this was a new discovery. When I was a child, this was common knowledge. We all knew people who had the mumps twice. So while it was more painful - and miserable to have it on both sides at the same time, at least those who had the "double" ver- sion knew they only had to suffer through it once. The new cases of mumps indi- cate that vaccines might not be completely effective, or perhaps not effective in all people. More boosters might be needed to main- tain protection. Since most of the new cases are among young adults, there is a the- ory that an additional booster shot should be given to college students. College students apparently are more at risk because they live in with Katrina Elsken close quarters. What does this mean to you? Talk to your doctor. If you never had the mumps, or if you only had it on one side, your doctor might recommend a booster shot. Of course the immunization shots themselves carry some risk. Mumps can be more serious for adults than for children. There is a particular risk for adult men - mumps can cause sterility. The eld- erly and those persons whose immunize systems are already weakened, may also be more atrisk. Of course, the immunization shots also carry some risks and possible side effects. Talk to your doctor about your own risk so you can make an informed decision based on your own health history. If mumps is back, will other childhood diseases also return? I also vividly recall surviving chicken pox, "three day" measles, German measles and whooping cough. I hope my children will never have to suffer through these illnesses that we used to consider "normal" childhood diseases." Before making any change in your diet or exercise plan, consult your doctor. This is especially important if you are on any pre- scription drugs. Some drugs inter- act badlywith foods that might oth- erwise be considered "healthy." Book honors days of community journalism By Barbara Oehlbeck This is not a new book, yet it is new to all those who have never read it."The Last Cracker Barrel," by Ernet Lyons, is the essence of "country journalism", the real rea- son, and maybe the only one, for existing for thousands of small newspapers across this country. People, their births, parties, engage- ments, weddings, hopes, accom- plishments, victories, defeats, trou- bles and deaths, are all important, but as one editor said, the home town paper is the only one on earth to whom these happenings are important enough to print. This small book is about the real Florida, albeit an older Florida, and a quieter style of life, when people took time to notice the ways of fish and flowers, birds and the river, ponds and pastures, and especially their fellow man. Ernest Lyons' way among these mysteries is a gentle, earthly path of plain-spoken words that guides the reader to a new understanding of the country- side and people around him. The older world of nature and small towns and settlements can still be seen by those who know how to look for it. About his book, a colleague remarked: It is earthy, elemental, and reminiscent of those informa- tional, wide-ranging and mostly inconsequential discussions which went on in country stores when America was a simpler land. Folks would gather around the cracker barrel to discuss the weather, gos- sip, politics, whether Halley's Comet was going to burn up the atmosphere and mess up the crops or what ought to be done about the town idiot if anything, whether the preacher was planning to run off with the choir leader and when this interesting diversion could be expected to occur if at all. They talked about whose dog could whip everybody else's dogs, and startling medical breakthroughs like a gob of fresh-chewed tobacco was guaranteed to cure a catfish finning, and hanging a Bull Durham sack of asafetida around the neck was a sure way toward off the flue.
