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 Council. "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: President/Chairman David Danennhauer, owner of Mick- A great day to ride: River Rally a success Submitted to the Glades County Democrat The Second Annual River Rally, held on Riverside Drive in Moore Haven June 3, gave visitors, whether on bikes or boats, an opportunity to enjoy the south central Florida City, located on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River, an intercoastal waterway link- ing Ft.

"Everyone who came talked about what a great ride it was to Moore Haven," Ms. Whirls said. "Whether you're coming from the east coast or the west, from central or south Florida it's an hour, two hours maximum to get here, and once you get out of the cities, the scenery's fantastic and the traffic virtually nonexistent."

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 bridge over the Caloosahatchee at Moore Haven.

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.

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- ton Wendell N. Rollison Award - 2000 Florida Rural Health Associa- tion Golden Heart Award -1998 - For Service & Dedication to the Community of Clewiston present- ed by Clewiston Chamber of Com- merce Outstanding Community Ser- vice Award 1989 City of Clewis- ton District Long-Term Care Ombuds- manrCouncil 1983-1989 6 President of the Hendry- Glades Mental Health Clinic board of directors Hendry County's representa- tive on the District 8 Health & Plan- ning council for 18 years Member of state's Health Planning Council of Southwest Florida for 17years Recognized by state of Florida -Statewide Human Rights Advoca- 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.

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.

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 Conference Report adopts lan- guage included in the Senate passed bill which makes commu- nities impacted by Hurricane Den- nis eligible for CDBG funding. Education Relief - $285 million $235 million is included for schools serving displaced K-12 stu- dents. $50 million is for grants to institutions of higher education. FEMA Disaster Relief Fund - $6 billion $400 million is provided for a pilot project to determine alterna- tive sources of emergency housing. FEMA is directed to devel- op and implement an intermediate term housing solution for the Gulf Coast Region. The pilot study will determine whether this approach provides a better, safer, and more cost effective housing solution than the exclusive use of travel trailers. Additional funding is included for Businesses $542 million Businesses in declared disaster areas, including the hurricane- affected areas of the Gulf, are eligi- ble to receive disaster loans within the funding provided to the Small Business Administration. Transportation Assistance - $702 million $702 million is included to address the emergency relief high- way backlog around the nation.

In addition, contiguous counties are also eligi- ble for relief.

Sec. 3013: Specialty Crops and Nursery Crops, including crop damage and tree loss: $95 million. Homeland Security and Border Protec- tion $1.9 billion The conference agreement fully funds the President's requested for the Department of Homeland Security at $1.172 billion. This fund- ing will provide 1,000 new Border Patrol Agents, 4,000 detention beds, and assistance to state and local law enforcement. $708 mil- lion is included for National Guard personnel to be deployed as part of the border security initiative. Addi- tionally, $20 million is provided for the Department of Justice to prose- cute additional immigration related cases due to heightened border enforcement activities. Pandemic Flu Preparation - $2.3 billion Funding is included to prepare for and respond to the threat of avian flu. $250 million of this fund- ing is set aside for state and local government block grants to pre- pare for a possible pandemic out- break. 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 s FAnred~ Glrdaiiin^ S-r *- ldnt" t .'STORMSCAPING Landwiaping to ,tinimnize Wind Damage in Florida hida m te' men prIeIth S - S"Copyrighted Material S Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers,' ~. ~ ~ _ m ~ S - tmco b moo- 4 . - .~ -~ e - e- w- ^ S-- . Special t GCD "Stormscaping" by Pamela Crawford helps homeowners chose plants that can with- stand high winds. 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- den Color for Florida."

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. ^ GladieComy DeNmcrat Our Purpose...

Bird Euco,iit'-Edoo Karna, E ,- Member of. Florida Press Assoctdfoiso - A 0 S 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.

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.

Licensed Psychologist 800-514-0832 The disability specialist 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. I NOTICE The Glades County School Board Will Hold A Public Hearing On July 13, 2006 at 7:00p.m. In The Glades County School Board Meeting Room 400I10"' Streel, SW Moore NHaven, Florida To Approve Proposed Changes To The Glades County School Board Attendance Policy Copies of the Proposed Changes Are Available By Contacting: Wayne Aldrich, Superintendent Glades County School Board 400 10" Street, SW Moore Haven, Florida 33471 (863)946-2083 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 competition in Florida. It has a membership of more than 700 middle, junior and senior high schools.

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."

Clewiston resident wins state 4-H poultry barbeque competition The State 4-H Poultry Barbeque Competition was held in Lake Placid at Camp Cloverleaf on June 3. Noelle Ball from Clewiston took first place in the competition. Noelle had 2.5 hours to prepare and grill two chicken halves, the best half was presented to the judges with a small container of her secret barbeque sauce. The participants were judged on the following: appearance and cleanliness, starting the fire, con- trolling the fire, preparing the chicken for cooking, skill of barbe- quing as well as sensory evalua- tion. Once the chicken was judged, the participants presented a pres- entation to consist of, but not limit- ed to, nutritional facts of chicken, the broiler industry, as well as food safety. The title of Noelle's presen- tation was "Wow That Chicken." Noelle will be competing in the National competition on Nov. 15 - 16, 2006, in Louisville, Ky. Congrat- ulations Noelle! WEST PALM BEACH The Supervisor of Elections Office announced June is "Register To Vote At Your House Of Worship Month" according to a statewide Get Out The Vote (GOTV) initiative on behalf of The Florida State Asso- .ciation of Supervisors of Elections (FSASE). If your house of worship is interested in participating with the voter registration initiative for your members, please call the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office at (561)-656-6200. The 2006 GOTV program encourages Floridians to register, update their voter records, volun- teer as poll workers and vote in the primary and general elections. The statewide GOTV plan is designed to allow each county to adapt their voter education plans to their own needs based on a calendar of themed months. For example, July will be "Register Online Month." Palm Beach County is doing all we can to improve our election process, as well as the number of our citizens who participate," said PBC Supervisor of Elections, Dr. Arthur Anderson. "We are provid- ing voter education in our county to Pet Corner Question: Dear Doc Savvy. Hello. I have an 8 yr old Beagle who suffers from lots of skin allergies. Th-e stingg is very costly, ahd I" would'als6have 't commit to'regu- lar visits for allergy injections as well. What is your opinion about 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.

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- watching and duck-hunting areas in the nation. 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.

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. *DIGITAL RECEPTION SERVICES, INC.

I have who gave me an idea about my a custody battle someday in the shared with others my thoughts Heavenly Father by what He did future. Now the father wanted to on why Jesus chose to come here for me. I think about that be recognized and I agreed to into this world by entering an father too, who wanted to be help him. In the course of our earthly home complete with included in his child's life and meeting, I told him that bap- mother and father. Two parents named in baptism along with tisms weren't "undone" but that nurturing and taking a helpless, the baby's mother. God had I would be glad to work to see dependent baby to the place planted something in him wor- him recognized as the father to where He could go it on His thy of being a father and I think the baby in question. I also told own; that's half shared by a God supported him. I did too. him that I would be happy to bless their marriage if they so chose and he thanked me. Later we changed the records and added the father's name. I have 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 good enough for me. I was more impressed that day, though, by a young man being concerned about his fatherhood. I've rather and its avital enough nalf that the Lord Himself chose to make it a part of His earthly experience. I don't suppose many of us fathers think about just what it is that we provide or just how much we share Joseph's chosen role with our children, but we do. The Lord's Prayer continues after we address our Heavenly Father by saying "...hallowed be thy name..." Even God's name is holy; that special identifier of our Heavenly Father is revered in His name too. Our earthly chil- dren look up to us with a similar reverence each time you hear a child say "That's my dad!" and defend, honor or remember * w-4.-.
