MOORE HAVEN Main

big step forward June 1, elect-
ing new directors and officers to
oversee the nascent organiza-
tion, which held its organiza-
tional meeting Thursday, June 1
at the Marina RV Resort, 900 CR
720.
According to Main Street
Moore Haven part time program
manager Tracy Whirls, the
meeting was especially impor-
tant as it marked the first Main


Street meeting separate from
the Economic Development

"The Glades County Eco-
nomic Development Council
served as the sponsoring organ-
ization for Main Street, submit-
ting the application to have the
City of Moore Haven designated
a new Florida Main Street last
August, and participating in its
first technical service, a visit by
Historic Preservation Architect
Bob Field last November," Ms.


Whirls said. "The new board
will see the initiative through
the next phase, including plan-
ning for infrastructure improve-
ments downtown and ultimate-
ly, locating new businesses on
the riverfront."
During the June 1 meeting,
Main Street members voted to
elect an inaugural board of
directors, who later voted to
name officers. New officers are:

MOORE HAVEN After
months of consultations, delib-
erations and review, the Glades
County Economic Development
Council unveiled its new website
this month.
Like the Big 0 Birding Festival
website before it, the previous
EDC website had a lot of chal-
lenges, according to EDC execu-
tive director Tracy Whirls. Ms.
Whirls worked closely with
webmaster Sue Bastardi of The
Hometown Network Inc. in
Lake Placid in designing the new
site.
"During the walkthrough


with Sue, I started by suggesting
a white background with black
lettering and green highlights
similar the EDC logo to be con-
sistent with our stationary and
our business cards," Ms. Whirls
said.
The second noticeable
change was new photos,
notably a shot of the fixed span

'The Silent Green


By Barbara Oehlbeck
The misty green morning
was born in silence not even a
night bird was still awake. With-
out a sound, a great white heron -
waded in the shallows in water
up to his knees as the soft shell
turtle slid silently down the bank
and into the water between the
lily pads. .
Leaves were not moving, not
even broom sage in the south
meadow. Not even the long
scarves of Spanish moss hang-
ing to the ground... all unmov-
ing and silent. It was like a grand
stage drama in the silent sec-
onds before the opening cur-
tain.
But then it all happened at
once... maybe like when the
orchestra in the pit strikes up its


first glorious chord! Hundreds of
white wing doves seemed to
drop from the sky, the cardinals
spread their red wings chirping
loud and clear, the wren called
to his love from the south ridge-
pole, even the owl in the ham-
mock hooted, making himself
known without being seen as
the turkeys dropped like dark
globs from their favorite roost-
ing tree across the pond, then
instantly they all took flight at
once. The sun's first rays
streaked through the swamp
and across the still water in scar-
let stripes. Those rosy sunrays
seemed to have the sole pur-
pose of backlighting the wings
of the turkeys as if a stage spot-
light was aimed at each one.

Obituaries


'Miss Jean' Anderson
Lois Jean Sermons Anderson,
82, died June 7, in Ft. Myers. A long-
time resident of Clewiston, she was
actively involved in numerous civic
efforts over the last three decades,
and was best known for her dedi-
cation to people through health
and human services.
"Jean was real active in District
8 health planning and very interest-
ed in mental health," said Dr.
James Forbes, who worked with
her for over 30 years. "She was a
very intelligent woman who was
vocal in the community and usual-
ly positive, but could be critical
when it was justified. She was
strong enough that she would tell
you what she thought, and she was
smart enough that she was usually
right."
Longtime Hendry County pedi-
oatrician Dr. Martha Valiant said
Clewiston has lost a wonderful
asset. "I met Jean when I rolled
into town 30 years ago, and I loved
her and respected her because she
is such an advocate for health
issues," she explained. "Whether
you agreed with her or not, she
was always willing to take a stand."
Often recognized for her tireless
commitment and service to the
state of Florida, Hendry County
and the town of Clewiston, she
was best known for the following
accomplishments, awards and
recognition:
Woman of Accomplishment-
2003-Community Service/Clewis-

cy Committee for her service &
dedication
Founded the ARC, first school
for the mentally retarded in Clewis-
ton, in the early 1970s.
During her Clewiston residency,
Mrs. Anderson served as director of
the Clewiston Chamber of Com-
merce for many years and greatly
contributed to the development of
the HRMC hospital park and to the
acquisition of the Certificate of
Need for the local nursing home.
Having managed the restaurants of
both the Clewiston Inn and the
Clewiston Country Club, she was
known throughout the community
for her southern culinary skills.
Born on December 21, 1924, in
Winterville, N.C., she was the
youngest child of Matthew Cor-
nelius and Jemima Catherine Jack-
son Sermons. In her weekly news-
paper columns for the Clewiston
News, Miss Jean shared many vivid
memories of growing up on a


tobacco farm in Greenville, N.C. As
a staff writer for the newspaper for
over 13 years, she wrote two week-
ly columns, Miss Jean Cooks and
Jean Anderson's Opinion.
At age 15, Ms. Anderson
enrolled at the College of William
& Mary and married naval aviator,
Jerry Anderson, at age 17. After
WWII, Jerry became a veterinarian
and public health officer. They lived
on U.S. Air Force bases all around
the continental United States and
Puerto Rico, and retired in Naples,
Fla., in 1969, only to move to
Clewiston, shortly thereafter.
According to her family, it was
immediately that her love affair
with Clewiston began. As her
columns attested, Miss Jean
enjoyed the arrival of the cardinals
and buntings each winter, and her
self-proclaimed favorite sport was
reading. She loved flowers, her gar-
den and "good" Bridge partners.
Miss Jean is survived by seven
children; Jeff, Jane, Jim (Lori), Ole
(Yuli), Scott (Laura), Richard
(Beth), John (Laura) and nine
grandchildren: Adam (Wendy),
Ana (Don), Ryan, Emily Jean,
Michael, Hannah Jean, Grace, Ash-
ley Jean, Jordan Jean and two
great grandchildren (Oak and
Ben).
The family would especially like
to thank Michelle and Joe Bristol,
Kristy Bristol, Laura and Lori
Anderson, Jeannie Byrd, Reva and
Ed Marshall and Hope Hospice of
Fort Myers for their loving devotion
and care for her during the last few
months.
A memorial service was held at
the First United Methodist Church
in Clewiston at 10:30 a.m. on June


14. The family requests that in lieu
of flowers donations be sent to:
Sunrise Community of Hendry
County, PO Box 185, Clewiston,
Florida 33440, 863-902-1133, Helen
McVitty, director.

Thursday, June 15, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


Congress
WASHINGTON, D.C. U. S.
Senator Bill Nelson announced Fri-
day that Congress has agreed to
give $5.2 billion in disaster relief to
Florida and other states hit by hurri-
canes last year.
The money is included in a
broader $94.5 billion spending bill
approved by House and Senate
negotiators Friday morning. The
vast majority of the money includ-
ed in the supplemental appropria-
tions bill will help fund the war in
Iraq.
The $5.2 billion will fund disas-
ter Community Development
Block Grants (CDBG) for counties
declared federal disaster areas dur-
ing last year's hurricane season,
with the Department of Housing
and Urban Development allocating
the funds among eligible states.
CDBG funds are often used for
long-term recovery efforts, housing
and business assistance, infrastruc-
ture reconstruction, mitigation
efforts and public services.
"Many people in Florida's hard-
est hit areas are still struggling to
recover from last year's storms,"
Mr. Nelson said. "This extra money
will help them to rebuild."
The bill is expected go to the
president for his signature, after the
Senate and House approve the
conference agreement next week.
Thirty-two Florida counties are
eligible for relief, including the Lake
Okeechobee area communities of
Glades County, Hendry County,
Palm Beach County, Okeechobee
County and Martin County.
Of the $94.5 billion included in
the bill, $19.8 billion will go toward
hurricane relief. The following is a
breakdown:


Representative Denise Grimsley
met with the Hendry/Lee County 4-
.H Legislature Group at their
monthly meeting at the Dallas B.
Townsend Agricultural Center.
Rep. Grimsley spoke to the group
about the roles of the Florida
House of Representatives and how
she became involved in govern-
ment.

hurricane impacted Gulf Coast
region. Upon final passage and the
President's approval, allocations
will be determined by the Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban Devel-
opment for Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, and Louisiana. The

nities impacted by Hurricane Den-

Grant helps fund children's mental health services


Ken Holley, Board President of
Hendry-Glades Behavioral Health
Center, announced Monday .that
the Southwest Florida Community
Foundation has awarded a grant in
the amount of $20,000 to supple-
ment county and state funding of
the children's mental health outpa-


tient services for the upcoming fis-
cal year.
"In these challenging times,
health care funding is tight, said Mr.
Holley. "Funding for mental health
services in particular is suffering
due to the new changes in the Med-
icaid reimbursement system. The


Community Foundation recog-
nizes this need and we certainly
appreciate their help for children's
outpatient services."
Joseph Hosick, Executive Direc-
tor of the Center, added that
Hendry-Glades Behavioral Health
Center was one of 81 applicants


requesting more than $1.6 million
in assistance. Forty-five applications
were accepted and funded for a
total of $585,765 in total awards
during the foundation's winter
grant cycle. Mr. Hosick added, The
Community Foundation has
always supported our area and
communities. This award is espe-
cially needed at this time and I
appreciate the Foundation's inter-
Sest in our children's programming.
The funding will be used to supple-
ment our sliding scale-fee system
which is based on the Federal
Poverty Index to make our therapy
services affordable.

Stormscaping helps


protect landscape


By Barbara Oehlbeck

,Whoever would have thought
there'd ever be a book of expert
advice on how to landscape to
minimize damage in the Sunshine
State when storms hit?
Well, "Stormscaping" does just
that in common sense, practical
terms and language. The book is
Volume 3 of the Florida Gardening
Series by Pamela Crawford. It's a
large book, 8 2 x 11, on high gloss
paper entirely in color.
The photos tell their own story
in Pam's book; nothing is left to
guess-work.
She lists the best plants to with-
stand hurricanes, as well as the
worst plants for hurricanes. She
focuses on trees that are danger-
ous, "survivor" gardens, and the
strongest plants to protect your
home and garden.
According to Pamela, as a result
of extensive research and experi-
ence, the three worst trees to have
anywhere near you in a hurricane
or even high winds, are Australian
pines, Ficus benjamin and laurel
oaks. Her books details in depth
information on why these trees are
to be avoided for safety's sake.
On the other hand great trees
for windy times include the Sabal
palm (our state tree), bald cypress,
crepe myrtle, ironwood, Japanese
maple, live oak, which is consis-
tently categorized as the most
wind-tolerant shade tree for the
entire state of Florida, southern
magnolia, Canary Island date
palm, date palm, foxtail palm,
pindo palm,, royal palm, red bay,
sand live oaks, sea grape, saw pal-
metto, thatch palm and the stop-
pers redberry, Spanish and white.
"Stormscaping" includes a
wealth of information, in fact it's
more like a colorful encyclopedia
on the subject. For instance, to
begin with we all need to under-
stand hurricane basics, when
they're coming and what they can
do to us. We all need to know the
most important hurricane facts.
There are eight of them all highly
detailed on page 26.
Since landscaping/planting is
year-round in Florida, it's wise to
know your plant's wind toler-
ance, as some tolerate wind
much better than others. One of
the most susceptible is one of the
state's most strikingly beautiful
trees, the tabebuia, commonly
called tree of gold.
On the whole, palms tolerate
wind better than shade trees with
the exception of Queen
palm/cocos plumosa, which has
very little wind tolerance,
When considering native plants
versus exotics, think about this:
Natives were present in Florida
long before Christopher Columbus
discovered America. Exotics are

those plants which have been
introduced into Florida since 1492.
This book is a treasure trove of
dependable information, guide-
lines that will not necessarily pre-
vent damage to your plants, trees
and gardens, but most certainly will
help minimize damage and guide
you through recovery.
The author of "Stormscaping" is
not only personally experienced in
landscaping and gardens in gener-
al; she has earned highly important
credits such as a BA from Vander-
bilt University and a Masters Degree
in Landscape Architecture from
Florida International University.
This is her third book following
the publication of "Easy Gardens
for South Florida" and "Best Gar-

This is a MUST book for those
who care about their yards and gar-
dens, a book that will never go out
of style! And if you have roses, heed
this: If the canes become storm-
shredded or even broken in various
places, cut them back to good,
unbroken wood. If your roses are
old garden, or antique, in other
words if they're growing on their
own rootstock, don't worry for a
minute. They'll simply come out
and continue growing exactly the
same as they were when you plant-
ed them. This is NOT true of those
roses grafted onto fortuniana root-
stock. If these rose canes become
broken in the storm and they
regrow from below the bud union
or graft union, they will not be the
same. In other words, it will be the
rootstock that regrows. The fortuni-
ana bloom is a white single rose.

Summer brings longer daylight hours


By Dan Culbert
Extension Horticulture Agent
And it's not even summer, yet!
Based on recent heat and
humidity, the feel of our weather is
that summer is here. But a look at
the calendar shows that we are still
"enjoying" spring time here in Flori-
da and that summer will, not
arrive until next Wednesday, June
21.
If you have been working in
your landscape recently there are
some less obvious changes in our
seasonal conditions. Here are two:
our day length has been getting
longer, and our shadows are get-
ting shorter. Today's column out-
lines these changes and offers
some ideas on how they can be
used to help create a more Florida-
friendlyYard.
Longer Days are here again.
Daily weather reports often
briefly mention the time of sunrise
and sunset. Over the course of a
year, the time of these events
changes daily. We adjust our clocks
each spring and fall to take advan-
tage of increasing daylight in
spring, and accommodate for less


daylight in the fall.
Here in South Florida, our maxi-
mum day length on the first day of
summer is 13.92 hours. If you travel
to more northern areas, the day-
time hours will be longer: on June
21st, Jacksonville Fla. has a 14.07
hour day, New York City will enjoy
15.05 hours of daylight, and those
in Nome Alaska will see the sun for
21.31 hours. Going south \\ill short-
en the day length: residents of
Panama City, Panama will have a
relatively brief "long-day" at 12.42
hours.
On the opposite side of the year
is the first day of winter, December
21st. Here in Okeechobee this
shortest day is 10.25 hours long.
Compare that with Jacksonville's
10.11 hors of sunshine, New York's
winter solstice of 9.15 hours, and
pity the poor folks in Nome that see
the sun for only 3.52 hours that day.
However, the folks in Panama City
get 11.72 hours of daylight.
Plants respond to differing day
lengths by changing their growth
patterns. Some plants have found it-
better to produce their flowers, fruit
and seed in the summertime, and
are called long-day plants. Others


Change begins at the table


I am a collector of great quotes
and was particularly pleased to
read one from a great president:
"All great change in America
begins at the dinner table." Ronald
Reagan .
I love this quote! The heart of
the message is the recognition of
how important that dinner table isit
is where it all begins; is essentially
what the former president was say-
ing.
It used to be, in Ronald Rea-
gan's day, that the dinner table was
the place where discussions took
place and a good natured debate
between parents and kids could
even get heated. Discussing things
like politics, religion, ethics in
school, etc. was commonplace.
This is where ideas were tossed
back and forth and dreams were
born. I still believe it can be this
way! We don't have to be dominat-
ed by drive thru's and negative
nutrition.
FlyLady and I are passionate
about our mission: to help you get
your homes in order first of all, and
secondly, to help you enjoy your
family. It is my personal belief that
your family however they became
your family, is God ordained and
nothing less. Those faces around
your dinner table are there on pur-
pose to give you an opportunity to
feed their tummies and their souls.
What a great blessing!
You know the old saying that
the way to a man's heart is through
his stomach? Well, we're all built
that way. This lowly piece of furni-
ture, the family dinner table repre-
sents communion, fellowship, a
wonderful meal and an opportuni-
ty to know and be known in a way
that is only possible in this type of
intimate community.
I've said all of this before in vary-
ing degrees or another. I say it again
only because of the importance of
the message. If there is a take away
message in this particular column it


The Dinner
,>Diva


-by
(? ^Ely


is that your family is precious and
so are you. Time together spent at
your family dinner table will only
help you to become more of what
you've always dreamed your family
could be.
It doesn't take magic wands,
wishful thinking or pleading
prayers (although praying does
help!). It takes a little work. Get
your house in order, get dinner
on the table and call together
those special people you are so
blessed to call family. Sit down,
eat your dinner and watch the
magic happen. It will, with prac-
tice, I promise.
Here's an easy crock-cooker
(slow cooker) recipe to get you
started back to the table:
Carolina Crock Chicken
Serves 6
6 skinless chicken thighs, bone-
less too, if available
1 onion- chopped
2 cloves of garlic pressed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
In a skillet, heat the olive oil and
brown the chicken on both sides.
Place in a crock-cooker with
remaining ingredients and cook on
high for 5-7 hours or low 8-9 hours,
depending on your crock-cooker.
When done, shred with two forks
and serve with crock-cooker
juices.


take their cue from shortening days
to reproduce, which is why many
fall flowers are know as short-day
plants.
If you are selecting annuals for
your Florida Yard, be sure to ask
your nursery supplier if it is a short
day or long day plant. This will
insure that it is adapted to the sea-
son. And right now, the choices are
for long-day plants in our location.
Another change in out seasonal
lighting is the length offthe shad-
ows. On the first day of summer, go
to the north side of your yard during
the noon hour, and notice where
the shadow from your roof-line
falls on the landscape. Make a note
right now on your calendar to do
the same thing on the first day of
winter: that shadow line will move
considerably to the north.
This difference in summer vs.
winter shadow lines is due to the tilt
of the earth. Scientists call this angle
of the sun in the horizon the
azimuth. And these angles should
be considered when planning the
locations of landscape beds or
home vegetable gardens and can
be used to locate shade trees to
save on summer energy bills.
Between the hours of 3 PM and
5 PM are the warmest parts of the
day. Shading the western side of
the home with properly placed
landscaping can cut down on ener-
gy costs. Also make note of where
your air conditioner compressor is
located, and try to give it some
shade to save some money.
Azimuth angles have been
determined for our location at dif-
ferent time of the year. Consider the


west side of your house to have an
azimuth angle of 90 degrees. For
the critical 3 PM time of day, sun-
shine will be streaming into your
Okeechobee windows and sliding
glass doors at an angle of 87
degrees on June 21, which is just a
little below due west. At 5 p.m., the
sun will have climbed beyond west
to an azimuth of 99 degrees, or a
west-Northwest direction.
Compare these sun directions
with the first days of fall, when the 3
PM azimuth is about 45 degrees, or
southwest, and the 5 PM angle,
which is 73 degrees, or west-South-
west. The spring azimuth angles
are likewise bent to the southwest
side of the compass.
A University of Florida Exten-
sion bulletin is available for those
interested in more details:
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/EH216 It
takes into consideration the height
of your home and possible shade
trees, and can help suggest where
to place landscape plants for maxi-
mum energy conservation. One
word of caution: be sure that the
height of a tree and its placement
near buildings will not become a
roof hazard if another storm should
visit our area.
In addition to energy conserva-
tion landscaping, make note of the
shadow lines when choosing
plants for your Florida Yard. Don't
place plants that need direct sun-
light in the northern shadows of
your yard. Many flowers and veg-
etables, if planted in the summer
sun, may be in winter shade, and
will not grow well on the north side
of your landscape.

Some newspapers seem to take pleasure in the bad news. Not us.

We do print "bad" news. (It IS newsworthy when things go wrong, and
citizens need to know about problems.)

Still, we give most of our attention to good news the kind you dip and
tape to your refrigerator door. (This isn't difficult. The vast majority of
what happens in our community IS good.)

How are we doing?

GAINESVILLE Immokalee
High School has been penalized
by the FHSAA for violations in
boys soccer and football.
The violations centered on the
participation of three student-ath-
letes who were over-age. FHSAA
Bylaw 11.6.1 states that a student-
athlete is eligible until the day he
or she reaches the age of 19 years
9 months. Two of the three over-
age student-athletes participated
in the school's boys soccer pro-
gram; the third in football.
Although the school became
aware of one of the violations in
October 2005, it did not report the
violation to the FHSAA Office until
May 2006. Subsequent'investiga-
-tion by the Association and the
school led to the discovery of the
two other violations. All three stu-
dents were immigrants who had
provided false birth certificates to
gain eligibility. The school did not
file with the FHSAA Office the
required form for international
students on any of the three stu-
dents because they were not clas-
sified as "international students"
by Collier County School Board
policy.
The school was officially noti-
fied of the Commissioner's find-
ings and penalties last week.
"These violations are both
unfortunate and disturbing,"
Commissioner John A. Stewart
said. "The FHSAA age rule exists
to ensure the physical well-being
of all student-athletes. We have
to be certain that teen-agers are
playing against other teen-agers
and not against adult men and
women.
"While we have no reason to
believe the violations constitute a
willful misconduct on behalf of
the school, we cannot dismiss
the school's failure to ensure that
the student-athletes were of the
appropriate age."
In addition to a formal repri-
mand, the Commissioner
imposed the following penalties
in this case:
The school is fined a total of
$3,000 ($1,000 for each of the
three violations);
The school must reimburse
the Association for the cost of the
investigation (final 'expenses
have not yet been determined);
The school's boys soccer
program is placed on two years
of restrictive probation to
encompass the 2006-07 and
2007-08 school years. During this


two-year period of probation, the
school's boys soccer program is
restricted from participation in all
preseason and FHSAA state
series postseason competitions.
The school's varsity boys soccer
team is limited solely to the per-
missible 25 regular season con-
tests.
The school's football pro-
gram is placed on one year of
restrictive probation to encom-
pass the 2006-07 school year.
During this one-year period of
probation, the school's football
program is restricted from partic-
ipation in a preseason classic or.
jamboree, a post-season bowl
game, FHSAA state series com-
petition, and a spring classic or
jamboree. The school's varsity
football team is limited solely to
the permissible 10 regular sea-
son games.
Games played against
Immokalee in the 2006 football
season will not count in the dis-
trict standings for any opponent.
The school shall forfeit all
victories by its boys soccer team
and football team in which the
ineligible student-athletes partici-
pated.
Further, the school shall sur-
render to the FHSAA the following
trophies: 2004 district boys soccer
runner-up trophy, 2005 district
boys soccer championship tro-
phy, 2006 district boys soccer
championship trophy, and 2005
-district football championship tro-
phy. Official FHSAA records will
be adjusted to reflect Immokalee
High School's participation in
these state series as being vacat-
ed..
FHSAA bylaws ensure the
school's right to appeal the Com-
missioner's findings, as well as
the penalties assessed., The
school has 10 business days to,
notify in writing the FHSAA Office
if it intends to file an appeal. Any
appeal would be heard by the
Association's Board of Directors
at its September meeting.
The Immokalee case and Col-
lier County's interpretation of
what constitutes an "international
student" thrust into the spotlight
the FHSAA policy regarding inter-
national students and how it
impacts immigrant students.
Since then it has come to the
attention that a number of other
school districts are not filing the
forms because of similar interpre-
tations. The Association's Board


Prepare your boat for storm season now


By Loma Jablonski
INI Florida
With the start of the 2006 hur-
ricane season upon us, now is the
time to start making plans to safe-
guard your boat. A few minutes of
preparation now could save you
thousands of dollars and prevent
a great deal of stress in the event
that we are hit with a hurricane
this season.
The following instructions are
only guidelines and may not apply
to every individual situation. The
important thing to remember is to
keep calm and use good judg-
ment.
Gather all documents per-
taining to your boat including
insurance policies, a recent pic-
ture of your boat, the boat regis-
tration, an inventory of equip-
ment and a copy of the lease
agreement if the boat is stored at
a marina or storage facility. Keep
these documents in a safe place.
Have telephone numbers of the
marina, storage facility and insur-
ance agent readily available.
Keep a list of all items you
remove from the boat prior to the
storm. Include, if possible, the
make, model and original cost of
the equipment. Make note of
where you are storing this equip-
ment. Keep another list of items
that will remain on the boat.
If you plan to move your
boat to safer ground, be sure to
check the tires, bearings and axle
on your trailer now. Have every-
thing is working order.
Know approximately how
long it will take to move the boat


INI LLorna daobonSKi
Take the time to prepare your boat for the upcoming hurri-
cane season. A few minutes now could save you thousands
of dollars in damage and a great deal of stress if the area is
hit with a hurricane this season.


and secure it. Remember, traffic
will be heavy and supplies will be
at a premium prior to a hurricane.
If you are planning to move the
boat, give yourself ample time to
do so. If you are keeping it at
home, you will need time to pre-
pare it while also preparing your
home for the storm. Do not cut
yourself short on time. Have the
materials to secure the boat on
hand. You may not be able to pur-
chase them if a storm is coming.
Once you move the boat to
safe ground or if you are keeping
it at home on its trailer, you
should:
Lash your boat to the trailer
and place blocks between the
frame members and the axle
inside each wheel. Owners of

lightweight boats might wait to
consider letting about half the air
out of the tires, then filling the
boat one-third full of water to help
hold it down. The blocks between
the frame and axle will prevent
damage to the springs from the
additional weight of the water.
Tie your boat with heavy
lines to fixed objects. Pick a loca-
tion that allows you to tie it from
all four directions, because hurri-
cane winds rotate and change
direction. It can be tied down to
screw anchors secured into the
ground. Do not tie it to a tree. As
we found out last summer, even
the sturdiest looking trees can be
blown down during a hurricane.
* If you intend to keep your boat
in the water, the following should


be adhered to:
If your boat is kept at a mari-
,na berth or behind your home in
the water and you intend to leave
it there, double all lines and rig
crossing spring lines fore and aft.
Attach lines high on pilings to
allow for tidal rise or surge. Make
sure lines will not slip off pilings.
Inspect pilings and choose those
that seem strongest and tallest
and are properly installed., The
'longer the dock lines, the better a
boat will be a coping with high
tides. It is important to double up
on all lines and use chafe protec-
tors at any potential chafe points.
Cover all lines at rough
points to prevent chafing. Wrap
with tape, rags and rubber hoses.
Install fenders to protect the boat
from rubbing against the pier, pil-
ings and other boats.
Remove all moveable equip-
ment such as canvas, sails,
dinghies, radios, cushions, bimin-
is and roller furling sails. Lash
down everything you cannot
remove such as tillers, wheels,
booms, etc.
Assess the attachment of
cleats, winches and chocks.
These should have substantial
back plates and adequate stain-
less steel bolt sizes.
Batteries should be fully
charged and checked to ensure
their capability to run automatic
bilge pumps for the duration of
the storm. Consider backup bat-
teries. Cut off all devices using
electricity except bilge pumps.
Never leave a boat on davits
or on a hydro-lift.

of Directors, which.met June 1
and 2 at Atlantic Beach, author-
ized the Commissioner to review
and revise the policy.
"Technically speaking, these
immigrant students are interna-
tional students according to our
policy," Commissioner John A.
Stewart said. "But therein lies the
problem. Many immigrant stu-
dents live here with their families,
have lived here for years and have
been in our public school systems
during that time. In that regard
they are not 'international' and
our policy needs to be revised to
redefine what an international
student is.
"But regardless of how you
define them, we and by 'we' I
mean the member schools


- have to do everything possible
to determine the correct age of
these students. We will be incor-
porating into the policy new
guidelines for schools to follow in
determining the age of these
immigrant students
Mr. Stewart added: "It is impor-
tant that everyone understand
that the FHSAA doesn't want to
declare immigrant students ineli-
gible, but we do want to make
sure that ineligible immigrant stu-
dents are declared ineligible."
The Florida High School Ath-
letic Association is the governing
body for interscholastic athletic

Will chocolate ever be considered


Good news for chocoholics
everywhere a new study shows
that chocolate may boost brain
power.
Dr. Bryan Raudenbush of the
Wheeling Jesuit University in West
Virigina recently published a study
'that indicates consuming milk
chocolate increases alertness.
In the study, the researchers
*had volunteers snack on milk
chocolate, dark chocolate and
.carob. A control group was not
given a snack. After 15 minutes (to
* let the snacks digest) the subjects
were subjected to computer tests
for memory, attention span, reac-
tion time and problem solving.
The subjects that were. given
milk chocolate scored higher on
; memory tests. Those given milk
Chocolate and dark chocolate both


with Katrina Elsken
scored higher than the other test
groups on reaction time.
In a study at the Imperial Col-
lege in London, a substance found
in chocolate has been found to be
an effect remedy for coughs.
Theobromine, which is natural-
ly found in chocolate, was found
to be more effective in stopping
persistent coughs than codeine.


Codeine is the active ingredient in
the most commonly used pre-
scription cough medicine.
The new research may offer
relief for those who are allergic to
codeine.
The researchers also found that
theobromine had fewer side
effects than codeine. For example,
codeine tends to make users
drowsy while theobromine does
not.
Chocolate which is made from
the cocoa bean, is also rich in
antioxidants. A 2003 study at Cor-
nell University found cocoa has
nearly three times the antioxidants
found in green tea. Antioxidants
are natural substances often found
in plants. These substances help
the body cleanse itself of free radi-
cals, which are the natural byprod-


ucts of cell reproduction and
growth.
Dark chocolate is higher in
antioxidants than milk chocolate.
Of course, even with all this
good news about chocolate, it
should only be consumed in mod-
eration. Chocolate (especially milk
chocolate) is high in calories arid
fat. Those on diets that restrict car-
bohydrates, such as Atkins or
South Beach diets, may find they
can easily work dark chocolate
into their diet plan.
Before making any change to
your diet or exercise plan, consult
your doctor. This is especially
important if you are on any pre-
scription medications. Some drugs
interact badly with foods that
would otherwise be considered
"healthy."

allergy injections? Does it really
work? Is periodic cortisone treat-
ment ok to rely upon instead?
Thanks, George in Okeechobee..
Answer: Hey there George! I
have several patients on food and
regional allergy injections. I also
have several who get periodic corti-
sone treatment as well. From my
impressions, allergy testing and
treatment do make a difference
only if the commitment to keep up
with them is there. Sometimes sim-
ply finding out what your dog is
allergic to food wise can make
enough of a difference to relive a lot
of problems. I do recommend the
testing if you are able to consider it.
However do consider this, I have
never seen it to be 100% effective.
Many times periodic cortisone
treatments are still helpful, but they
will be needed much less than
without the allergy treatment fac-
tor. Allergies can also be responsi-
ble for recurrent ear infections as
well as skin problems. A lot of pet
owners are not aware of this. Too
much cortisone can be unhealthy
and in severe cases cause a lot of
problems to the liver, and also
mimic a disease called Cushing's
disease. Make sure you talk to your
Vet in detail about all this George.
Take care, Doc Savvy.

Engineering firm says dike failure misrepresented


By Pete Gawda
INI FLORIDA
LAKE OKEECHOBEE The
condition of the Herbert Hoover
Dike may not be as critical as one
might be led to believe.
A press release dated June 6
from BCI Engineering, is head-
lined "Herbert Hoover Dike failure
being misrepresented". BCI is the
engineering firm that released the
recent report predicting the dike
has a 50 percent chance of failure
within the next four years.
In the press release, Les
Bromwell, principal engineer for
BCI Engineers & Scientists, Inc.,
with offices throughout Florida,
said that extensive studies in the
mid-1990s by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers produced scientifical-
ly calculated probabilities of dike
failure caused by critical seepage
conditions and rising lake levels.
"Contrary to statements that


the lake is safe up to a level of 21
feet, the Corps' own data show
that failure probabilities start to
rise significantly at 17 feet," said
Mr. Bromwell. "The failure proba-
bility at 17 feet is 10 percent but
with just a one-foot rise to 18 feet,
the probability increases to 45 per-
cent. At 21 feet and higher, the
probability is 100 percent."
A chart produced by the Corps
of Engineers shows details of the
failure probabilities at various
locations around the lake for
water levels ranging from 14 to 27
feet. The chart is based on hun-
dreds of individual computer runs
described in more than 250 pages
of the Corps' 1999 Major Rehabili-
tation Report (MRR). Thirteen
reaches, or sections, of the dike
are evaluated as well as a "Com-
bined Probability" showing the
total probability of a dike failure
based on lake levels.
Mr. Bromwell has urged emer-


agency planners to familiarize
themselves with this chart and act
accordingly. His concern is that
effective evacuation plans must be
developed based on these scientif-
ic risk probabilities, not on
hearsay or safety claims by
spokespeople or uninformed citi-
zens. Mr. Bromwell also cautioned
that the critical lake levels are not
those normally seen on Lake
Okeechobee, but rather flood lev-
els that can result from periods of
high rainfall and winds accompa-
nying hurricanes.
However, Steve Duba, chief
engineer for the Jacksonville dis-
trict of the U. S. Corps of Army
Engineers (COE) takes issue with
the word "misrepresented". He
said the COE did not dispute the
facts in the press release or in the
report upon which it was based.
The information in the report was
based on data supplies by COE.
The press release included a


mathematical table listing proba-
bilities of dike failure as the lake
rose from 14 to 27 feet. At 18 feet,
the table showed a 45 and a half
percent chance of failure.
While not disputing the statis-
tics, Mr. Duba said those statistics
need to be taken into context.
It is a fact that all earthen levees
suffer from seepage, according to
Mr. Duba.
The statistics in the table, he
said, were based on the assump-
tion that seepage was undetected
and allowed to get worse and
worse. He said such a situation
was not likely but possible in the
face of COE's vigorous inspection
program and the fact that COE
takes the situation seriously.
At 16 and half feet, COE begins
daily inspections of certain areas
of the dike. As soon as seepage is
detected, it is repaired.
"We don't like to see the lake
level at 18 feet to start with: he


Construction to include public access


THE EVERGLADES Some
stormwater treatment areas are
already open for wildlife viewing
and hunting; similar opportunities
are planned for.reservoirs, other
stormwater treatment areas.
Increasing water storage and
treatment options through the con-
struction of large-scale reservoirs
and constructed wetlands are
essential components of Ever-
glades restoration. Along with the
environmental benefits these facili-
ties will provide such as major
projects under way now along the
St. Lucie Canal, Caloosahatchee
River and Eveiglades Agricultural
Area they also create increased
opportunities for recreationaluse
by outdoor enthusiasts.
"Making sure the public is able
to enjoy public lands is a state of


Florida legislative mandate, a top
priority of the Governor and Cabi-
net and a solid commitment of the
South Florida Water Management
District," said District Governing
Board member Michael
Collins."Through several years of
extensive work with the public, this
commitment has become a reality
on hundreds of thousands of acres
of District-owned lands."
The District Governing Board
approved a proactive policy in 2004
designed to ensure access to Ever-
glades restoration lands. A series of
public workshops and public
meetings ensured that hunters,
fishermen, hikers, birdwatchers
and other nature-based activists
had the opportunity to comment
and provide feedback. Recognizing
that any proposed public usage


must first and foremost be compat-
ible with restoration goals, the
agency developed the Public
Access and Recreational Use Poli-
cy. This workshop continues to
meet quarterly to provide public
input to recreation decisions on
district lands.
The recreation policy specifies
that the permitting, design and
construction phase of all restora-
tion projects must also include
public access along with the fund-
ing to provide facilities for a variety
of nature-based recreational activi-
ties provided such uses are con-
sistent with the project's restora-
tion -purposes. A phased-in,
step-by-step process ensures that
planned recreation activities grow
over time in a manner compatible
with the projects purpose. Recre-


ation should start after project con-
struction is complete and the facili-
ty is operational for some reason-
able time.
For example, the 40,000 acres of
stormwater treatment areas built
to reduce phosphorus levels in
water before it flows into the Ever-
glades went through a period of
operations and monitoring before
being opened up to the public. The
current stormwater treatment area
recreation has grown successfully
over the last several years. New
designs for public access sites will
be built in 2007. Not only are these
constructed wetlands now suc-
cessfully removing excess phos-
phorus, they have also become
some of the most popular bird-

asserted.
He mentioned the fact that COE
is currently working to revise lake
level regulations. This revision is
likely to result in COE maintaining
the lake at a lower level.
The greatest risk would be at
the southern end of the lake. The
dike has been divided by COE into
segments called Reaches. They are
not numbered consecutively, but


Reaches 1, 2, and 3 are at the
southern end of the lake. Those
three Reaches formed the basis for
the statistics in the press release.
Most of Okeechobee County is
contained in Reach 5. When Mr.
Duba was in Okeechobee May 25,
he prioritized the Reaches as 1, 3,
2, 7, 4, 5, 6 and 8 with I being the
most critical and 8 needing the
least amount of attention.

Can You Hear Me Now?


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
Many of us hear his voice every
day, and yet we don't know his
name. His voice is heard over 27
million times a day by people all
over the world. His name is
Elwood Edwards and he gives us
those three special words we all
love to hear. No, not "I love you",
but "You've got mail!"
In 1989, a little-known outfit
called Quantum Computer Ser-
vices had an online service called
Q-Link. The company's CEO
wanted to add a voice to its user
interface. Edwards' wife was
working for the company and
suggested her husband. Edwards,
whose career had been in radio
and TV, agreed to record four
phrases: "Welcome!"; "File's
done"; "Goodbye"; and, of
course, "You've got mail!" Quan-
tum changed its name to America
Online and Edwards' voice
debuted on AOL in October of
1989. The rest, as they say, is histo-
ry.
Psalm 29 talks about another
voice that is heard by millions
each day: The voice of the Lord is
over the waters; the God of glory
thunders. The voice of the Lord is
powerful; the voice of the Lord is
full of majesty. The voice of,the
Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord
breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
The voice of the Lord flashes forth
flames .of fire. The voice of the
Lord shakes the wilderness. The
voice of the Lord causes the oaks
to whirl, and strips the forest bare.
Do you catch the meaning?
The voice of the Lord is powerful
beyond words. Remember how
God created the world? He spoke!
"Let there be light." And behold
there was light. The voice of God,
powerful enough to bring cre-
ation into existence, yet some
hear it not. Some hear it and rec-
ognize it not.


Billy Graham was once asked
what had been the best experi-
ence of his entire ministry. Gra-
ham didn't hesitate in his answer:
"By far the greatest joy of my life
has been. my fellowship with
Jesus. Hearing Him speak to me,
having Him guide me, sensing His
presence with me and His power
through me. This has been the
highest pleasure of my life!"
Many of us know what he was
talking about. God's voice-able
to create a universe, able to heal
any hurt, able to turn a life around
and make it whole. God does
speak-not necessarily in a dra-
matic voice that is audible, but
through the quietness of our own
hearts. God speaks a word of
hope, a word of encouragement,
and every once in a while, a word
of challenge.
A young man lost his job and
didn't knowwhich way to turn. So
he went to see a minister. The
man ranted about his problem,
clenched his fist and shouted,
"I've begged God to say some-
thing to help me. Tell me, pastor,
why doesn't God answer?"
The older man, who sat across
the room, replied with something
so hushed it was indistinguish-
able. The young man stepped
across the room, "What did you
say?"
The pastor repeated himself,
but again in a tone as soft as a
whisper. So the young man
moved closer until he was leaning
on the pastor's chair. "Sorry," he
said. "I still didn't hearyou."
With their heads bent together,
the old minister spoke once more:
"God sometimes whispers," he
said, "so we will move closer to
hear Him."
Draw near to God. Hear God
speak to your deepest need. Hear
God affirm your life. Listen quietly.
Listen closely. Hear God speak
your name today.

we changed the records and

always believed that baptism is
not to be denied to someone
because of what their parents do
or do not do. If God told us to
"go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit
(Matthew 28:19)" it was
because the Lord wanted it to
happen, and if He did, that was

Prayer continues after we
address our Heavenly Father by
saying "...hallowed be thy
