As of July 13, Mr. Taylor has,
in his words, "Survited one
year in Glades County, and I'm
still enjoying it. Now I'm going
for a second year and we'll see


what happens'" .
Well, a lot has already hap-
pened and there's more on the
drawing board. To begin with,
in part follows highlights of the

Glades County Democrat/Barbara Oehlbeck
For more than three-quarters of a century, the Glades County Court House has stood
proudly in the heart of Moore Haven. The stately structure was under construction in
1926 but was not occupied until 1928. Since that time, it has weathered the storms that
have threatened the area for all this time as well as its age. Now, however, much need-
ed repairs have begun and will continue for at least a year.

NOAA reports record weather marks first


The average temperature for
the continental United States from
January through June 2006 was
the warmest first half of any year
since records began in 1895,
according to scientists at the NOAA
National Climatic Data Center in
Asheville, N.C. Last month was the
second warmest June on record
and nationally averaged precipita-
tion was below average. The con-
tinuation of below normal precipi-
tation in certain regions and much
warmer-than-average tempera-
tures expanded moderate-to-
extreme drought conditions in the
contiguous U.S. However, much of
the Northeast experienced severe
flooding and record rainfall during,
the last week of June. The global
surface temperature was second
warmest on record for June.


National





go


U.S. and Alaska, according to the
National iiteraLenciy Fire Center.
Global Highlights
It was the second warmest June
on record for globill land- and
ocean-surface temperatures since
records began in 1880 (1.08
degrees F/0.60 degrees C above the
20th century mean) and the sixth
warmest year-to-date (January-

Body in park identified


By Jose Jesus Zaragoza
INI Florida
SOUTH BAY Investigators
now know the name of a per-
son found lifeless in a car at a
local park last week.
According to the Palm
Beach County Sheriff's Office,
the man's name is James E.
Thornton, 61, of Delray Beach,.
who may have died from
health complications.
Deputies with the.sheriff's
office responded to the scene
last week.
Officials were called in to
investigate the' incident on
June 11, at approximately
10:30 a.m. that day, finding the
man slufiped over the front


passenger seat of his vehicle at
John Stretch Park. The park is
located just outside South Bay,
on U.S. 27.
Though investigators are
still piecing together the
details of the man's death, offi-
cials with the sheriff's office
said the man appeared to have
pulled over to the park after
experiencing health problems.
After searching the area for
clues, and finding that there
was no evidence to ,pu,.,"t
the presence of foul play in his
death, investigators said the
man seemed to have died
from a heart attack.
A medical examiner's
report should reveal the true
cause of the man's death.

attacks CLEWISTON What is the
vspaper U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
doing to keep residents safe in the
event of a hurricane, and the lake
itself from the schedule of water
releases that the organization has
Ie: focused on as of late?
>rum51 That was the question at hand
at a meeting in Clewiston last
week. Colonel Carpenter of the
um57 corps presented a tentatively
forum58 scheduled plan (TSP) for Lake
Okeechobee and its surrounding
y waters.
The meeting was one of three
workshops concerning the Her-
bert Hoover Dike and the Lake
Okeechobee Regulation Schedule
L1 Study (LORSS). These workshops
t were hosted in Clewiston, Ft.
Myers, and Stuart.
Lake Okeechobee is the water
supply for the areas south of the
big lake. With many more people
coming into Southwest Florida,
the hope is that the lake becomes
Glades stronger economically to support
york of the growing population.
rtnered Colonel Carpenter and the U.S.
services, Army Corps of Engineers 'are
a, Ruth doing their best to devise a plan
avioral that will take effect beginning Jan-
da Bap- uary 2007 that is right for the
recruit maintenance of the lake, while
)ur five keeping a close eye on keeping
residents safe from the dangers of
)ecom- a levee failure.
family, The Corps of Engineers, con-
siders public safety its highest pri-
ority. Corps officials have said
publicly that they must keep a reg-
ulation schedule that does not
compromise the health and safety
of the people.
ve. rear Of course Lake Okeechobee is
Vhead- not their only concern when con-
phone sidering their best course of
action.


INI/Jose Zaragoza
The Army Corps of Engineers is presently hashing out a plan
that will take into account the condition of the lake and regu-
latory releases into nearby estuaries.


"Lake Okeechobee is the heart
of our body; but, our body has
arms and legs and other parts that
need to be healthy also," Colonel
Carpenter said, referring to the
Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie
Estuaries. If we dump all the bad
things into the estuaries, the lake
will eventually become weaker.
The corps had several plan-
ning phases where they came up
with plans to control the water
level. After much debate and deci-
sion they came to one conclu-
sion: a plan called lbS2-m would
be the best route to take.
,This plan was considered the
best choice to help all the aspects
of the lake. This includes public
safety, the Caloosahatchee Estu-
ary, the St. Lucie Estuary, Lake
Okeechobee, water supply, navi-
gation, and the Greater Ever-
glades. All of these things make
up the body.


Of course, this plan was not
the best solution for each aspect,
but it was the best overall. The
plan was created to keep the
whole body healthy. It also pro-
vides an environmental balance
that's meets the LORSS objectives
for lower lake management.
So what does all this mean?
A portion of the plan calls for
the corps to pay attention when
the lake reaches a certain level, in
this case 12.75 feet. The corps
will release small amounts of
water into the estuaries to keep
the lake from building too high.
The estuaries would not be ham-
mered by water from the lake,
and the lake could maintain a
safe water level.
After the presentation those in
attendance were asked to give
comments about the tentatively
selected plan. Most were in agree-
ment with Colonel Carpenter and

With all of the recent talk
about a gradual shift to the first
buyer's market in Florida in sev-
eral years, many potential home-
owners are taking pencil to
paper to determine if this is the
summer to finally buy a house.
After all, inventories of homes
for sale are up throughout the
state, and sellers are become
more eager to offer buyer incen-
tives or to make money-saving
deals for potential buyers
But just because the market
might be right for buyers, is it the
right time for you, your family
and your finances? Buying a
home is never a one-size-fits-all
process; finances aside, a whole
host of personal reasons come
into play when, considering
becoming a homeowner. *
Are you ready for the Ameri-
can Dream of owning a home, or

Call or e-mail your R.S.V.P. by

The C-43 test cells are provid-
ing valuable data for final design
of the Acceler8 C-43 West Stor-
age Reservoir project, which
consists of .an above-ground
reservoir located just south of
the Townsend Canal and
Caloosahatchee River junction
that will capture and store basin
stormwater runoff and regulato-


ry, water releases from Lake
Okeechobee, reducing the num-
ber and volume of harmful dis-
charges to the coastal estuaries.
The project is a component of a
larger restoration project for the
Caloosahatchee River and Estu-
ary.

is it a good idea to rent for a costs? Except for rises in home-
while longer? When does it owners insurance, real estate
make sense to buy and when- taxes and maintenance costs,


does it make sense to rent? Ask
yourself the following questions
before you start visiting open
houses this weekend:
Do you plan to live in the
same location for a long time? If
you feel settled into your com-
munity, have extended family
near by and have decided this is
where you and your family want
to live for the next 20 years, buy-
ing and building equity is a prob-
ably good idea. If, on the other
hand, you only plan to stay in
your current location for under
five years, or if you foresee mov-
ing with your job or your
spouse's job, consider renting a
while longer. If there's a chance
that you will be laid off soon or if
you plan to leave your job, you
might want to wait as well.
Do you prefer steady housing


once you lock in your mortgage
rate you can rest easy knowing
that your monthly payments will
be the same year after year. This
long-term stability is reassuring to.
many homeowners who want to
know exactly how much they will
spend each month. As a renter,
you are subject to the whims of
your landlord and of the local
rental market. As demand for
rentals goes up, so will your
rent-a phenomenon we are see-
ing in housing markets such as
New Orleans right now.
Are you ready to be a handy-
man-or to pay for one? When
your roof is leaking or the
plumbing is stopped up in an
apartment, it's the landlord's
problem. But when you own the
place, it's your problem. One
mistake first-time home owners


thought the plan would work.
As one gentlemen said, "This
is the best plan that has been
thought of since 1960."
Many thanks were given to
Colonel Carpenter and his team
for their hard work and dedica-
tion to Southwest Florida.
Others, on the other hand,
were not as impressed by the new
plan.
Questions were raised about
water supply and whether.com-
munities would have enough
water after all the water releases
from Lake Okeechobee. Others
brought to Colonel Carpenter's
attention the vegetation in the
lake. They questioned why the
lake's vegetation was being killed
by pesticides being sprayed.
Colonel Carpenter had no
response for this.
"You have to trust that the
corps is going to do everything
possible to keep citizens from
evacuating if another storm
comes through and pounds us
with water," Colonel Carpenter
said.
If another hurricane like
Wilma comes through Clewiston,
the lake will rise even more, and
the chances of a flood are
extreme. With these small releas-
es of water, the corps will keep
the lake at a safe level so that
when another storm does pound
us with water, the water level will
still be low enough that we will
not have to evacuate because of
flood.
The point that the U.S. Corps
of Engineers wanted to make in
the meeting is that they are doing
their best to provide the surround-
ing communities with a safe lake.
This will not happen
overnight, they said, but they are
making it work.

The decision to buy or contin-

your personal preferences, and
where you are in a particular
stage of your life.
Consider renting if you want a
short-term commitment and the

time or desire to maintain or
repair your home and don't
want to pay property taxes.
Consider buying if you want

to build equity and take a healthy

working around the house, reno-

Volunteers in the area


sought to help elderly


By Nicole Cuny

CLEWISTON The communi-
ty sometimes makes the effort to
reach out to help the senior citizens
in anyway it can. Some people vol-
unteer to bring them groceries or
clean their houses.
But many of the elderly people
do not have someone they can
depend on consistently to help
them.
That is where the Center for
Independent Living comes in and -
more specifically that is where
you can come in.
The center helps elderly citizens
with disabilities more easily live
their lives, without the everyday
frustrations of being alone.
No matter what they need or
ask for, officials with the center
said, the organization is there to
help.
The Center for Independent Liv-
ing helps with things that the elder-
ly cannot do for themselves. This
includes bringing them groceries,
cleaning their home, and bringing


them medicine or equipment.
The advocates from the center
make visits to the homes of the
people they help. This helps them
become accustomed to the person
and their needs.
We all know about assisted liv-
ing facilities, but few of us knowwe
can help.
The center is always looking for
qualified volunteers to help. These
volunteers would help make the
outreach more productive by pass-
ing out brochures to encourage
others to join.
The Center for Independent Liv-
ing has a representative in our area
every other week. She also comes
when she is needed during the
week.
The center has regular outreach
programs in Moore Haven, Labelle,
and Clewiston.
For more information on how
to become a volunteer or how to
be included in the outreach pro-
gram, contact Tera or Linda at the
Center for Independent Living at
(941) 766-8333. '

Education program helps slow the spread of citrus canker


By Chuck Woods
LAKE ALFRED At a time
when Florida's citrus industry is
threatened by two devastating
diseases, canker and greening,
ULiii ersity of Florida (UF) exten-
sion agents are getting the word
out to citrus growers, nursery-
men, landscapers, home own-
ers and others about controlling
the spread of the bacterial dis-
eases before they do irreparable
harm to the $9.3 billion industry.
"Eradicating canker may no
longer be possible so we are
focusing on post-eradication
management strategies," said
Holly Chamberlain, coordinator
of the citrus canker education
program at UF's Citrus Research
and Education Center in Lake
Alfred. "At the same time, we are
also educating these groups
about citrus greening, which
was detected in Aug. 2005 and,
can kill citrus trees."
She said Florida sacrificed
more than 11 million citrus trees
over the last 10 years in a strug-
gle to keep citrus canker from
spreading, but all of that effort
was wiped out in just a few
short hours in Oct. 2005 when
Hurricane Wilma rampaged
through the heart of the state's
groves, spreading the bacterium
far and wide.
To make matters even worse,
we're now faced with citrus
greening, a disease that is poten-
tially even more destructive than
canker," Chamberlain said.
"Infected trees need to be
removed to slow the spread of
greening, which is spread b:, the
Asian citrus psyllid."
Chamberlain said the exten-
sion education effort has been
effective in reducing the negli-
gent 'spread of citrus canker by
educating citrus industry
employees about decontamina-
tion practices and avoiding the
movement of 'infected plant
material, especially during rainy
or wet conditions.

Canker education
program
"Since its inception, the
canker education program has
kept pace with the changes and
impacts on the industry, includ-
ing hurricanes and adjustments
in prices and acreage, all of
which are related," Chamber-


lain said. "We cover all aspects
of the disease, including citrus
canker biology, epidemiology,
history and regulations.
"However, in the industry's
current battle against canker
post-eradication, we are
focused on helping growers find
solutions," she said. "This
entails establishing an integrat-
ed grove management plan,
including early detection
through regular inspection cou-
pled with use of windbreaks,
copper sprays, decontamination
and other exclusion or suppres-
sion strategies."
She said the goal is to edu-
cate all client groups.to adopt
the same programs that will
help make citrus canker a man-
ageable disease. Education
efforts have focused on the resi-
dential citrus plantings which
can spread infection. The other
significant part of the program is
geared toward the commercial
citrus industry, which is highly
aware of the risks and impact of
canker spreading to new areas.
"We provide training to both
groups on how to prevent or
slow that potential spread," she
said. "Statewide citrus canker
education activities have also
focused on the national and
international aspects of the dis-
ease. We are sharing our experi-
ences here in Florida to other
citrus producing states as well
as learning from countries that
have- endemic canker and how
they struggle to manage the dis-
ease."
Chamberlain said education-
al materials ranging from fact
sheets and PowerPoint presen-
tations' to videos and training
modules for extension Master
. Gardeners have been pro-
duced and presented to these
and other groups., Most recently,
DVDs have been distributed
statewide to the citrus industry
on grove inspection, decontami-
nation, and management. A cit-
rus canker education display is
being used at county fairs, meet-
ings, seminars, workshops and
other events. All of the informa-
tion is available on. extension's
citrus canker Web site:
http://canker.ifas.ufl.edu.
When the canker education
program started, extension's
Master Gardener groups
became a key part of the effort.
"Master; Gardeners, are active


in county extension offices and
plant disease diagnostic clinics,
and they handle phone calls
regarding pest and disease man-
agement. For these reasons, the
program is an essential part of
our canker education program,"
he said.
Twenty counties have been


impacted by citrus canker dur-
ing the past 10 years: Brevard,
Broward, Charlotte, Collier, DeS-
oto, Hendry, Highlands, Hills-
borough, Indian River, Lee,
Manatee, Martin, Miami-Dade,
Monroe, Okeechobee, Orange,
Osceola, Palm Beach, Sarasota
and St. Lucie counties. "

These huge, knarled trunks do

one in a while roseate spoonbills
have been seen, wandering in
these green marshlands. Howev-
er, there are others who believe
that the majestic pink water bird
thought to be a spoonbill just may
be a pink-colored hm bd ibis, the
result of.white ibis interbreeding
with the scarlet ibis from South
America which was introduced
into the Miami area in the 1960s. If
the roseate spoonbills do fre-
quent these parts on occasions, it
is believed that they have lost their

In other business, the county

industries or businesses that would

similar existing ordinance is expir-

stimulant to economic growth. It is
not automatic, but if approved by
the voters, the county commission-

Laws change regarding landscape pesticide applications


By Dan Culbert
Extension Horticulture Agent
They said it couldn't be done,
but it's actually happened. It is now
actually easier for landscape main-
tenance professionals to be a
bona-fide, legal applicator of pesti-
cides. And for the consumer, some
changes in Florida Statues improve
your protection from shady termite
pest control companies.
Today's column will update an
article on this subject that was
printed this past spring. It will give
homeowners some ideas on
what's new in Florida termite con-
tract terminology. And with easier
requirements for certification, it's
now a bit easier for the "mow,
blow, and go" folks to get legal.
Three laws
Florida has a confusing system
of making sure consumers and the
environment, are protected from
the misuse of pesticides. The first
state pesticide law concerns itself
with the use of pesticides in agricul-
tural settings, but it covers a lot
more than farming.
The obvious use of pesticides in
citrus groves, vegetable fields, and
nurseries is covered by the Agricul-
tural Pest Control Law [F.S. 487].
But beyond producers, this law
also insures that persons using
these toxic products in natural
areas, roadsides, or aquatic sites
are properly trained and super-
vised. It applies Federal guidelines
under Florida conditions when
using restricted use herbicides,
insecticides, or fungicides. It even


includes a few unusual situations
like the use of these pesticides on
golf courses and parks or for spe-
cialized uses such as aerial applica-
tions or protective boat paints.
A second pesticide law in Flori-
da is concerned with the use of
these products for the control of
pests as mosquitoes or other pub-
lic pests. There are a few locals that
hold Public Pest Control Licenses
in our area, but since we don't
have any organized Mosquito con-
trol here, there is not too much
activity with this law [F.S. 388].
Notice we have not talked
about termites or landscape pesti-
cides use. The way it was
explained to me was that the use
of pesticides "inside, outside,
under, or through" buildings is
governed by the Structural Pest
Control Act [a.k.a. F.S. 482]. This
law is the one that the Florida Leg-
islature recently changed, and the
focus of this article.
While homeowners can use
"off the shelf" products to do-it-
themselves, there are some situa-
tions where professional help is
needed. Many well-known pest
control companies often apply
pesticides to keep buildings safe
and landscapes in top-notch
shape. Some of these "Pest Control
Operators" are locally-based busi-
ness owners that can spray your
lawn for insects or diseases, pro-
vide indoor protection from roach-
es, fleas and rodents, can eliminate
or protect buildings from termites,
and if necessary fumigate these
structures to kill every other kind of
pest found inside a structure.


Requirements for
Landscapers
The Structural Pest Control
Law also permits the LIMITED
use of pesticides near structures
by persons that work for the gov-
ernment, or who are treating pri-
vately owned buildings. Those
businesses that take care of pri-
vate RESIDENTAL landscapes can
also obtain a "Limited Certificate
- Commercial Landscape Mainte-
nance" that makes it legal for
them to apply certain kinds pesti-
cides when taking care of our
FloridaYards.
Many landscapers ask about the
Landscape Maintenance certificate,
but back away when they find out
some of the requirements. Here's


Termite Contracts Relaxed


what will make it easier for persons
to get this certification:
When a person wanted to get
this Landscape Maintenance certifi-
cate, before they even could take
the test, they had to attend an eight-
hour long training class. The
revised law reduces this training
class to a six-hour class.
Another stumbling block was
that applicants had to prove they
had been in the business for three
years before applying to take the
test. This experience requirement
has been removed.
Again before the test, the
applicant had to prove they had lia-
bility insurance before taking the
test. Now they can pass the test
first, and then demonstrate insur-
ance coverage so buying insur-
ance can happen after they know
they have passed.


Clarified
No one likes to even think about
termites getting into their build-
ings, but when they do, a profes-
sional Pest Control Operator ought
to be consulted. Unfortunately
there have been a few "bugs" in
the law that regulates these busi-
nesses. A few changes that help
protect consumers have been
made in F.S. 482 and they became
effective July first:
Termite control contracts
must dearly state if the work is for
drywood or subterranean termites.
(This is important because the
methods used to treat these critters
are very different.)
If a "spot-treatment" is used,
companies must post a notice.
that this was the case. (A treat-
ment sticker could give the false
impression that a complete treat-
ment was done.)
Re-treatments must be done
in 90 days (180 days for multi-unit
structures).
Companies can't refuse to
re-treat because they knew about
a construction defect or other
condition that would contribute
to termites.
Consumers can get more infor-
mation on termite protection, the
difference between subterranean
or drywood termites or file a com-
plaint against a pest control com-
pany by calling 1-800-HELP-FLA or
logging onto www.floridatermite-

Yogurt is ancient way to promote good digestion


Everything old is new again.
Health-conscious Americans
are rediscovering an ancient
food yogurt. Yogurt is a natural
food that helps promote good
digestion.
Years of eating wrong has left
digestive systems so out of
whack they have trouble proper-
ly processing any food. The
health food solution is yogurt
with active culture.
A trip to the grocery store
reveals many choices of yogurts.
You can have yogurt whipped or
creamy, with fruit mixed in or on
the bottom. You can find exotic
flavors like chocolate covered
cherry and Key Lime. You can
even find yogurt that is liquid
enough to drink (for those too
busy to use a spoon).
Here's a hint: Read the labels.


A
Healthier
Life


with Katrina Elsken
Many of these "yogurt" products
are full of sugar and -hioh in ifl,.
and also contain airtircil -nan-oi
ings and colorings. And most of
them don't even contain aci e'
culture.
Active, culture is the bacteria
added during yogurt production,
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and
Streptococcus thermophilus.
According to a 1992 article pub-


lished by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), this same
fermenting process has been
used since 2,000 B.C.
Researchers believe Middle
Eastern civilizations used this
process to preserve milk, and
since then yogurt has been a sta-
ple in European and Mediter-
ranean diets.
Yogurt, a dairy pr-,duct, is nat-
urally a good source of calcium.
If you have trouble digesting
other dairy products, you might
have better luck with yogurt.
Those who are "lactose intoler-
ant" have trouble dligesting lac-
tose (milk sugar). Symptoms of
lactose intolerance include diar-
rhea, abdominal cramps and
nausea. Yogurt is easier to digest
because the enzymes in the
active culture help break down


the lactose before you eat it.
Yogurt is also commonly used
as a home remedy for a variety of
ailments. Some people say if you
should eat yogurt after taking
antibiotics, since the aintibioti-s
might disrupt your digestion by
killing off some of the "good"
bacteria in your digestive sys-
tem.
Some people believe that eat-
ing yogurt can help ward off
yeast infections by helping the
body fight harmful bacteria.
Yogurt is made following a
very old recipe. Milk is pasteur-
ized to kill harmful bacteria, then
cooled to about 113 degrees
Fahrenheit, and the yogurt bacte-
ria added. The milk and bacteria
mixture is allowed to ferment
and then chilled.
In the United States, yogurt is


commonly made with cow's
milk. But in other parts of the
world, it is common to make
yogurt with goat's milk.
Not all yogurt contains live
culture. Some yogurt manufac-
turers heat the yogurt after fer-
mentation. This does not affect
the nutritional content of the
yogurt, but it does kill the live
culture. If you're eating yogurt
because it's high in calcium, you
might not care whether or not it
has live culture. But if you're eat-
ing yogurt in an effort to improve
your digestion, the live culture is
the key ingredient.
Read ttr- label. According to
the FDA, if the e manufacturer
heat-treats the yogurt after fer-
mentation, the label must say
"heat-treated after culturing."
The FDA also warns con-


sumers not to be confused by a
label that says "made with active
cultures." All yogurt is made
with active cultures. Brands that
are heat treated after fermenta-
tion no longer contain the active
culture.
The longer yogurt sits in the
refrigerator, the fewer active cul-
ture bacteria the yogurt contains.
So check the date label for the
freshest yogurt you can find, and
don't buy more than you will
consume in one week.
Before making any change to
your diet or exercise plan, con-
sult your doctor. This is especial-
ly important if you are on any
prescription drugs. Some drugs
interact badly with foods that
would otherwise be considered
"healthy."


Pet Talk


Pet ow-uers urged to
prepare for disasters
The old ., ling-ir goes some-
thing like this: An ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure.
It couldn't be more true when it
comes to preparing for a disaster,
and for pet owners, this includes
Fido and Fluffy.

The 1926 hurricane hit Moore Haven


By Twila Valentine
Edited by Maryann Morris
From 1977 until her death in
2003, Independent Newspapers
of Florida was privileged to have
on staff a superb writer and histo-
rian, Twila Valentine. Mrs. Valen-
tine wrote much about the history
of the people and places around
Lake Okeechobee and about the
lake itself. Together with Okee-
chobee's Betty Williamson, Presi-
dent of the Okeechobee Histori-
cal Society, she co-authored a
book, now in its second printing,
"Strolling down Country Roads in
Okeechobee."
The following article is based
on her research of the 1926 hum-
cane: the first of two catastrophic
events that led to the building of
the dike around Lake Okee-
chobee. This account was written
Sept, 18, 1988.
The month of September has
traditionally been one of the most
active Months for hurricanes to
slam into Florida. Sept. 18 marks
the anniversary (this year will be
the 78th) of the then Big Lake's
first and largest town, Moore
Haven faced destruction.
This was the same storm on
the same day which literally lev-
eled the booming town of Miami
and its suburb, Coral Gables.
Moore Haven, founded in
1915, had been the victim of
flooding in 1922, 1923, and 1924.
(If you go there, you can tell
which the really old houses are -
they are built several feet off the
ground!) To protect the farms, an
earthen dike had been construct-
ed along the south shore of Lake
Okeechobee.
Roaring in from the Caribbean,
the storm struck before daylight
on the eighteenth in Miami and
surrounding areas, claiming over
200 lives and injuring about 6.000
along the Gold Coast. Damage in
Miami alone was estimated to be
$27 million in 1926 dollars.
Some 130 miles to the north-


Special to INI/Florida Archives
Joe's Fish Camp was owned and operated by the van de Veldes after the 1926 hurricane. The
car seen on the left side of the photo would place the photo sometime In the 1950s. If anyone
has any more information about Joe and Mertie van de Velde or the fish camp, let us know.


Recollections
A series about Florida's
pioneers and history

..r ;.;


west, the town of Moore Haven
had received above normal rain-
fall for the year and the seven-
teenth was dark and blustery. The
lake was full and the earthen dike
was being tested to its limits.
There were some weak spots
between Liberty Point and Clewis-
ton and also at the pumping sta-
tions. The Caloosahatchee River
was straining at its banks with the
heavy discharge from ditches and
sloughs.'
On Friday, the seventeenth a
telegram was received in Moore
Haven stating that a hurricane
was expected to hit the east coast
in the vicinity of Miami. That was
the total warning that Moore
Haven received about the storm.
From midnight on, every able-
bodied man in the Moore Haven
area worked filling several thou-


sand sand bags to reinforce the
weakening dike. By daybreak, it
became obvious their efforts
were in vain and the citizens of
Moore Haven resigned them-
selves to yet another flood.
Hurricane winds then hit in full
force and the first break in the
dike occurred about a mile east of
town. It was soon followed by
other breaks. Water began to flow
through the main streets of the
town in huge waves; rising above
the streets to inundate homes
which had not been built to with-
stand the combined onslaught of
winds and tidal waves. Soon,
many of these houses were
washed from their foundations
and began to float, breaking up as
they drifted.
Fred Flanders, an engineer
who lived on a canal bank near
the locks, made his way to his
; home when the waters began to
rise. Jim Lee, a state employee,
Newman Etherton and Flanders
caught a boat drifting in the canal.
The trio made it to Flander's
home and rescued Mrs. Flanders,
the two children and the family
dog sought shelter and safety.
They remained on the tug until
the water receded and a rescue
party reached them.
Joe van de Veldt, who worked


at the pumping station at that
time, arrived home in time to let
the water flood into his newly-
built home when he opened the
door. He took his family to the
Mayflower Hotel which he con-
sidered to be safer for his family.
About 8:30 a.m. the hotel began
to float, then turned and settled,
blocking the street.
They remained in the hotel
until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday when
they were taken by boat to
Newhall, an abandoned settle-
ment two and a half miles west of
Moore Haven.
The home that Hoe van de
Velde built in Moore Haven sur-
vived the storm and several years
ago, it was moved to Lakeport
where it still stands and was the
home for Joe's widow, Mertie and
his daughter Margaret.
The final death toll was about
150, most of them in or near
Moore Haven. There were about
50 people injured and an untold
number of homes damaged or
destroyed."The wind velocity was
not measured during this storm,
but the winds are estimated to
have been in excess of 100 miles
per hour."

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


Agencies work for the South Florida way of life


By MaryAnn Morris

Perhaps the single most
important thing in the Kissim-
mee/Lake Okeechobee/Ever-
glades watershed now is the
ongoing work in the Compre-
hensive Everglades Restoration
Plan (CERP). CERP and the eight,
CERP projects being fast-tracked
(Acceler8) by the State of Florida
to help the critical water-related
issues we are facing are
designed by, constructed by, and
managed by many, many agen-
cies; state, federal and private
interests all have a stake in the
good of this unique area.
South Florida has the second
largest lake in the United States,
the Everglades, an ecosystem of
global interest, incredibly rich
year-around farming, and a
booming tourist industry, not to
mention, (apart from hurri-
canes) a pretty nice lifestyle.

The problem
e Drainage and development
of south Florida has had major
environmental consequences in
the Everglades. Saltwater intru-
sion into freshwater aquifers has
extended as far as 6 miles inland
from the coast in some areas.
The land surface has sub-
sided as much as 6 feet in some
agricultural areas because of
lowered water tables, oxidation
of drained peat, and subsequent
peat fires.
Mercury contamination of
fish has resulted in a ban on the
consumption of fish from the
central part of the Everglades


7Aw"H E


National Park and is-implicated
in the deaths of endangered
Florida panthers.
Populations of wading
birds have decreased by almost
95 percent from 1870 to 1973. In
high-nutrient areas, cattails are
replacing native sawgrass. Plant
and animal communities in the
Everglades have been altered by
changes in timing and duration
of inundation; invasion of exotic
plants as a result of drainage and
land clearing, nutrient, and (or)
contaminant-enrichment of
water that flows into Everglades
from agricultural and urban
areas; and loss of habitat.

The CERP solution.
The goal of Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration Plan
(CERP) is to capture fresh water
that now flows unused to the
ocean and the gulf and redirect it
to areas that need it most. The
majority of the water will be
devoted to environmental
restoration, reviving a dying
ecosystem. The remaining water
will benefit cities and farmers by
enhancing water supplies for the
south Florida economy. CERP
covers 16 counties over an
18,000-square-mile area and
centers on an update of the Cen-


tral & Southern Florida (C&SF)
Project w which dates back to the
19-40s.
CERP was approved in the
Water Resources Development
Act i\\RDA'l of 2000. It includes
more than 60 elements, will take
more than 30 years to construct
and x\ill cost an estimated $7.8'
billion. It w\as the WRDA that
gave the COE author itN to re-
e\aluate the C&SF Project (Cen-
tral and South Florida Flood
Control I and recommend
improvements and changes in
order to restore the ecosystem.


The U.S: Army Corps of Engi-
neers (COE) is the lead agency.
Without their expertise in con-
struction methods and program
management, coordination of
the many agencies and many
ongoing projects in CERP would
be very di'fficull indeed. The COE
alone has over 100 years experi-
ence with mammoth construc-
tion projects and receives con-
gressional approval to build
them.
Man\ other agencies work
with the COE. The most involved
are South Florida Water Manage-

SFWMdD protects the water sup-

By storing water someplace
except in Lake Okeechobee, the
water level in the lake will be low-
ered. An independent panel of sci-
entists found the Herbert Hoover
Dike is threatened by high lake lev-
els. In case there is any confusion,
an "independent" report is just that.
If a study is commissioned to be
independent, that is what the scien-
tists are paid for; their best profes-
sionaljudgment.
With a lower water level, light
will reach the bottom of the lake
and the vegetation will re-grow, fish
will spawn and mature. With water
storage other than the lake, less
water will be released into the
coastal estuaries and the water that
is released will be cleaner. It will be
an ecosystem that can provide
clean safe drinking water, water to
support agriculture and storage
areas that will allow pollutants to
settle out and stop fouling the rivers.
Parts of the Kissimmee River will be
slowed by restoring the oxbows
and adding basins along the wvav
again to store water. \Vater conser
ovation areas and reser- oirs become
areas for recreation and habitat for.
endangered species. More storage
will help restore the flow of clean
water to the Everglades.

8 1 RELIGION


Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, July 20, 2006


Let the

By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
Urban legend shares the story
of a time when Michelangelo was
preparing to start work on a big
slab of marble. A crowd formed as
people gath-
ered around to
watch the mas-
ter in his work.
One little girl in
particular was
fascinated by
the sight of)
chips flying nd
the sound of
mallet on chis- John
el. Unable to Hicks
contain her
curiosity, the little girl inquired,
"What are you making?" Michelan-'
gelo replied, "There is an angel in
there and I must set it free."
When we made the decision to
become Christians, we were pre-
sented a large cold white marble
block called religion at our confir-
mation or conversion. Religion is
not our goal but it is the place we
must first start. Religion is a marble
slab and we have to find, like
Michelangelo, the angel inside.
This angel of our religion is faith,
and our task is to take the mallet in
hand and set to work to form it and
set it free for all to see.
We say we are the Church,
Christians, or Disciples. There are
many names with varying degrees
of meaning but in the end they all
describe the same thing. We are
not just a business or institution.
We are a people of Faith. We are
born through faith, live by faith,
and die in faith. faith in Jesus
Christ. Faith can set us free if we
know how to live it. The first small
step we take in doing this is learn-
ing to believe just a little. Jesus does
not ask us to have a mountains'
worth of faith, just a seeds' worth.
A young boy by the name of
James had dreams of becoming
rich and famous by making and
selling cheese. After making his
cheese, he would load his horse
drawn wagon and drive down the


chips fly

streets of Chicago to sell the
cheese. As the months passed, the
young boy began to despair. In
spite of his long hours and hard
work, things were not working out
well and he was not making any
money.
One day James pulled his horse
to a stop and began to talk to him.
He said, "Paddy, there is something
wrong. We are not doing it right. I
am afraid we have things turned
around and our priorities are not
where they ought to be. Maybe we
ought to serve God and place him
first in our lives." The boy drove
home and made a covenant that
for the rest of his life he would first
serve God and then would work as
God directed.
Many years after this, the young
boy, now a man, stood as Sunday
School Superintendent at North
Shore Baptist Church in Chicago
and said, "I would rather be a lay-
man in the North Shore Baptist
Church than to head the greatest
corporation in America. My first job
is serving Jesus."
So, every time you take a take a
bite of Philadelphia Cream cheese,
sip a cup of Maxwell House, mix a
quart of Kool-Aid, slice up a
DiGiorno Pizza, cook a pot of Mac-
aroni & Cheese, spread some Grey
Poupon, stir a bowl of Cream of
Wheat, slurp down some Jell-Q,
eat the cream out of the middle of
an Oreo cookie, or serve some
Stove Top Stuffing, remember a
boy, his horse named Paddy, and
the promise little James L. Kraft
made to serve God and work as He
directed.
In my chiseling, I have learned
this simple truth: Jesus isn't inter-
ested in the quantity of our faith
just the quality of it. A little boy's
faith is more than enough. More.
significantly, Scriptures tell us that it
only takes a mustard seeds' worth
if it's genuine. So, chisel with me
and let the chips fly, and let us find
the faith that lives inside, and let us
create the masterpiece that God
intends us to be.

When I want a simple answer and it doesn't come


By The Rev. Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph. D.
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
Accounting was never one of
my stronger abilities. My father
was an accountant and his advice
was "Pretend it's your money then
you'll be careful about handling
it." I used to get the bottom lines to
balance, but usually got the totals
wrong. So much for my experi-
ences with accounting' What I

learned, though, that it wasn't just
moving numbers from one col-
umn to another. It was more
involved than that. There were
decisions to be made about how
to charge items off, what was
added or deducted as deprecia-
tion, how to account for items in
storage and their cost; last-in-first-
out, or last-in-last-out. It turned out
to be very, very involved and
something that required a great
deal of application.
When it comes to religion, it
gets involved, too. There was a
man who told a minister that all
he needed to know about reli-
gion was summed up in the
Lord's Prayer and the Ten Com-
mandments. The minister


replied "and all I need to know
about astronomy is summed up
in 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little
Star'." There is an acquaintance
with faith --
that leads to
appreciation
of it, but it
may not be. .
as simple as
it first
seems. I
remember
learning
"Now I lay SamuelS.
me down to Thomas
sleep, the
Lord I pray my soul to keep, If I
should die before I wake, the
Lord I pray my soul to'take,
Amen" and it filled the bill as a
lbetirn pjr.lyerwhen I was very
young. Later, bedtime prayers
included people and problems,
asking God to get involved in
my life or someone else's, trying
to remember to be thankful
once and awhile, and being per-
plexed about why tlhi ir, hap-
pened to people, including me.
The questions brought the real-
ization' that my relation with God
was more involved II,,:n "Now I


lay me down to sleep..." and that
some searching was needed if I
was ever going to get an answer.
What looked simple was simple,.
but it was complicated too. I've
learned that when we want an
easy answer, the answer may not
be quick or easy after all. I'd like to
know about an easy answer to
questions about "Why war?" or
"Why people can't get along?" or
"Why does God let such things
happen?" It takes some work to
see God's hand in such things; but
the effort is well worth it.
There are many things I have
come to believe that are not easy
to believe. Some are distinctly reli-
gious; the notion of a "trinity", that
prayer works, that in spite of
everything God wants us to be
with Him, that evil will not ulti-
mately triumph, and on and on. I
know that, God is three and God is
one; simple to say and not to be
understood easily. I also know that
it works in my life along with the
other paradoxes that come my
way. I have been told "No" when
I've prayed when I've wanted to
hear "Yes" but it hasn't kept me
from praying. There seem to be
times when I get the hoped-for


answers to my prayers and other
times that things only seem to get
worse; and I know there is no sim-
ple explanation for when there are
"yes's" and when there are "no's."
I believe that if I keep at it, and
work toward getting it right one
day, there will be more "yes's"
than "no's" because I'll.get a step
closer of how to do it right and
what God wants to see happen.
I have also found that with the
willingness to allow for the diffi-
cult answer, there comes a certain
peace. The recognition that "this
isn't going to be as simple as I
wanted it to be" brings with it a
knowledge that I'm going to have
to get busy if I am to understand
where God is in all that is going
on; with the faith that "Surely, God
is in here somewhere" and it's
time to start looking even if He
isn't in the obvious places. I know
if I had stuck with accounting that
one day I'd figure out what it was
all about and how to get it right. I
picked another path instead and
am still on it; and I've learned to be
thankful when things are simple
or easy; and to search diligently
-when they're not. God is in there;
that ill see me through.

Do-It-Yourself Ideas


















Log Cabin Quilts
The log cabin pattern has been a favorite with quil-
ters since the mid-1800s. This."quilt-as-you-sew"
technique allows you to quilt the blocks while you
assemble them.
A 44-page, full-color guidebook, which includes
step-by-step instructions and diagrams, shows how
to create completed quilts, not just quilt tops. The
guidebook also covers such subjects as selecting and
preparing fabrics, using a rotary cutter and more.
Log Cabin Quilts (No. AN4126).. $8.95
Also available:
Log Cabin Flower Quilts (No. AN4167)... $9.95

Water managers approve


limited duck hunting on STA's


Stormwater treatment
areas (STA) STA 1 West, STA
3/4 and STA 5 will be open
for a special September
duck season, both phases of
the Waterfowl and Coot sea-
sons, and the Youth Water-
fowl Hunt.
The Governing Board of
the South Florida Water
Management District
(SFWMD) approved yester-
day a resolution that will
allow the extremely popular
duck hunting seasons to
continue at stormwater
treatment areas STA 1 West
in central Palm Beach Coun-
ty, STA 3/4 in western Palm
Beach County and STA 5 in
Hendry County. The resolu-
tion also increases the num-
ber of hunting permits avail-
able in the massive,
16,554-acre STA 3/4 north of
the Palm Beach/Broward
County line for the 2006-
2007 seasonal hunts. These
areas are also open to other
passive recreational uses
such as bird watching.
The STA managers and
Land Stewardship Division
of the SFWMD reviewed the
impacts of the waterfowl
hunts held in the STAs since
2004 and found no interfer-
ence with the STA water
cleansing operations. STAs
are large, constructed wet-
lands that contain aquatic
plants that take up phospho-
rus from the water before it
enters the Everglades. Too
much phosphorus causes
undesirable ellects such as
the uncontrolled growth of
algae and invasive vegeta-
tion, which can be detri-
nlental to the Everglades
ecosystem. Over the last
decade, 36,000 acres of
treatment areas and


"By establishing these areas as public small
game hunting areas helps meet SFWMD's
mission to make all public lands available
for the appropriate recreational uses with-
out compromising legislative and District
mandates to protect the resources."
Michael Collins,
District Governing Board member and chairman
of the Water Resources Advisory Commission


improved farming practices
combined have prevented
2,200 tons of phosphorus
from entering the Ever-
glades. Input from the STA
managers, Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) and hunter
user groups supported the
idea of the limited hunts.
Duck hunting in the STAs,
generally considered some
of the finest in the nation, is
managed by the FWC,
which issues free permits on
a first-come first-served
basis. As in the previous four
years, restrictions and pro-
cedures will be in place to
protect the District's facili-
ties and ensure the contin-
ued operation of the STAs.
"By establishing these
areas as public small game
hunting areas helps meet
SFWMD's mission to make
all public lands available for
the appropriate recreational
uses without compromising
legislative and District man-
dates to protect the
resources," said Michael
Collins, District Governing
Board member and chair-'
man of the Water Resources
Advisory Commission,
which made the hunting
recommendation to the


board.
It is estimated that almost
4,000 people will be able to
hunt in the STAs this year,
representing 20 percent of
the 20,000 licensed duck
hunters in Florida.
The season opens in late
September and runs
through January. The Flori-
da Fish and Wildlife Conser-
vation Commission will
begin issuing STA waterfowl
hunting permits at 10 a.m.
on Aug. 29. Worksheets will
be available approximately
two weeks before this time.
To apply for a permit,
hunters. must first obtain an
application worksheet at
any FWC Regional Office, or
from the web at
MyFWC.com/hunting
uota.hunt to select desir-
able dates and time periods.
The hunter then applies at
any tax collector's office, or
for a small convenience fee,
via the internet at
MyFWC.com/license, or by
phone at 1-888-HUNT-
FLORIDA (486-8356). Per-
mits are not available from
license agents, such as
sporting goods stores or
tackle shops. Applications
are not accepted through
the mail.


Florida's EAA reservoir project


receives federal approval


MIAMI In another impor-
tant milestone for Everglades
restoration, on July 12, Flori-
da received federal approval
to begin construction of a
massive reservoir in the Ever-
glades Agricultural Area
(EAA). The flagship project of
the state's Acceler8 initiative
to fast-track eight key restora-
tion projects, the reservoir
will provide a new option for
redirecting and storing Lake
Okeechobee water releasesn
thus reducing harmful dis-
charges to coastal estuaries.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers presented the federal
permit, which authorizes the
South Florida Water Manage-
ment District(SFWMD)to
build the EAA Reservoir
south of Lake Okeechobee,
at today's Governing Board
meeting in Miami.
"By acquiring this permit
and beginning construction,
Florida is keeping its promise
to restore the famed River of
Grass and protect Florida's
estuaries," Florida Depart-
ment of Environmental Pro-
tection Secretary Colleen
Castille said. "Water storage
is a key element to the
restoration process, not only
for controlling water releases
but also for flood protection
and wildlife habitat restora-
tion."
The EAA Reservoir will be
constructed on a 16,700-acre
parcel in western Palm Beach
County, just west of US 27.
When complete, the above-
ground structure will store up
to 190,000 acre-feet of water,
or 62 billion gallons of water.
The reservoir will also
improve operational flexibili-
ty for moving water within
the EAA, optimizing water
flows into stormwater treat-
ment areas. Other project
benefits include storage of
stormwater runoff in the
EAA, additional water to
meet Everglades water needs
and improved regional flood
protection.


"By acquiring this permit and beginning
construction, Florida is keeping its prom-
ise to restore the famed River of Grass
and protect Florida's estuaries. Water
storage is a key element to the restoration
process, not only for controlling water
releases but also for flood protection and
wildlife habitat restoration."
Colleen Castille,
Florida Department of
Environmental Protection Secretary


Kevin McCarty, Chairman
of the SFWMD Governing
Board, received the required
construction permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers.
"This permit is vital to our
environmental restoration
progress," McCarty said. "The
planning, engineering design
and agency coordination
needed has been enormous,
and I'm extremely pleased
with the results. We are ready
to start building."
State legislators, county
commissioners, representa-
tives of federal/state/local
agencies and other organiza-
tions were also on hand to
witness the presentation.
"Granting this permit is a
vital step forward for restor-
ing and protecting our estuar-
ies," said Michael DiTerlizzi,
Vice Chairman of the Martin
County Board of Commis-
sioners. "These waterways
are the lifeblood of our com-
munities."
Tammy Hall, Chair-
woman of the Lee County
Board of Commissioners,
agreed. "We strongly support
any project that will provide
additional storage opportuni-
ties for Lake Okeechobee
water," she said. "We depend
on the estuaries for our envi-
ronmental and economic
health."
Construction will be man-


aged by a joint venture of
Barnard Construction Com-
pany, Inc., and Parsons Water
& Infrastructure, Inc. The
$400 million contract was
awarded to Barnard-Parsons
earlier this summer. Ground-
breaking is scheduled for
next month.
Announced by Governor
Jeb Bush in October 2004,
Acceler8 is stepping up the
pace for funding, design and
construction to complete
eight critical Everglades
restoration projects over
seven years. At substantial
savings to taxpayers, the proj-
ects will restore 100,000 acres
of wetlands, expand water
treatment areas by close to
29,000 acres and provide
428,000 acre-feet of addition-
al water storage for Ever-
glades restoration a decade
ahead of schedule.
Under the leadership of
Governor Bush, Florida has
forged ahead to implement
the Comprehensive Ever-
glades Restoration Plan with
an investment of $1.3 billion
and a commitment for an
additional $3.2 billion
through the end of the
decade to clean up and
restore the famed River of
Grass.

Doc Savvy's Pet Corner


Question: Dear Doc
Savvy. I have always thought
a dog should be fed only
once a day. Recently I read
that it is better to feed a dog
twice daily. What is your
opinion? And, how many
times a day do you feed a
puppy?
Thanks, Georgia, Visiting
Belle Glade, but from New
York City!
Answer: Welcome Geor-
gia! Ok, here's the poop
scoop on feeding. For pup-
pies, at least three to four
times a day, then gradually
to 2 times daily. My opinion
on feeding adult dogs is two


Doc Savvy
times a day as well. This is
much, more healthy for the
metabolism and digestive
tract. Feeding dogs once a


day will cause them to over
eat simply because they are
so hungry. Sometimes dogs
will inhale there food
because they are so fam-
ished and they end up regur-
gitating their meal. Deep-
chested dogs have a much
higher incidence of bloating
if fed only once a day. Bloat
is many times a very serious
medical and surgical emer-
gency, and can be avoided
with several smaller meals
during the day.
Hope that answers the
question Georgia. Best
Wishes, Doc Savvy.
