packed room of interested resi-

Main Street and Economic
Development Council mem-
bers, city and county officials
from the Moore Haven area
attended the second annual
barbecue Thursday, Aug. 3, at
the Marine RV Resort spon-
sored by Joyner Development
and CHL Holdings, to hear the
results of the Florida Main
Street site team's assessment
aimed at revitalizing the down-
town historic district.
The team, headed by Florida
Main Street Coordinator Joan
Jefferson, presented their pre-
liminary findings at the dinner
meeting and will follow-up with
a written report for to review
and determine direction for the
cultural and economic renewal
of the little town that thrived in
the 1900s built alongside the
Caloosahatchee River.
Settled in 1915, carved
through flat-top cypress and
forests of pond apples on what
was originally 98,000 acres of
the "Henderson Heirs" tract,
Moore Haven's history began
when a big Seattle developer,
James A. Moore, threw in the
family jewels after losing $15
million dollars on the Pacific
Coast Railroad and bought the
tract, naming it in his honor.

This historic photo of the "Sentinel" Cypress at Moore
Haven on the Caloosahatchee River was taken sometime
between 1910 and 1924. The river was not originally con-
nected to Lake Okeechobee. In 1881, Hamilton Disston's
crews blasted and dredged their way from Lake Flirt to
Lake Okeechobee, opening up the Caloosahatchee River
to boat traffic.

Special to the Glades County

GLADES COUNTY Every-
one knew that West Glades
School would have a healthy
growth, but few if any anticipated
what has really happened. In the
school year 2004-2005 one addi-
tional grade was added thus the
grades were then Kindergarten to
sixth grade. In the school year
2005-2006 another grade was
added to bring the grades through
seventh and in 2007, eighth-
grade will be added for a total, of 9
grades in only two years.
"We've come from 250 stu-
dents to begin with to 420," said
Principal Larry Russell Lackey.


"We are happy to welcome ten
new teachers, and I have to say,
we really are in serious need of
housing for some of these teach-
ers."
The new addition to the
school is still under construction.
When completed, there will be
various rooms so that the teachers
may have his or her own class-
room. Presently, West Glades has
'Art on a Cart," that is, music and
art are being taught from a well-
equipped cart that's literally
rolled into the classroom with the
art or music teacher because there
are no classrooms for these sub-
jects right now.

Woman takes steps toward final recovery


By Nicole Curny
Clewiston News
CLEWISTON For one of
Clewiston's own residents, it has
been a tough couple of months.
Her story in the community
has been the talk of her friends
and neighbors, and the occasional
stranger who learns the details of
her difficult ordeal.
BobiJo Clark had led a normal
life, until a fateful day in March
changed everything.
Bobijo was leaving the R&R in
Clewiston and a van obstructed
her view of the oncoming traffic.
She eased up further and further


until she could see the traffic.
With a car bumper-to-bumper
behind her, she had no choice but
to pull out into the traffic.
A semi truck slammed into her
car.
After BobiJo was rushed to the
hospital, doctors told her family
to just pull the plug her future
was uncertain. Bobi Jo, it seemed
then, was not going to make it.
Her family faced a decision.
They decided not to pull the plug
on her and hung on to BobiJo for
dear life.
Since then, Bobi Jo has been
from Lee Memorial Hospital in Ft.
Myers to Oakbrook Nursing


Home. in LaBelle and back again.
She is currently in the nursing
home in LaBelle where she is sur-
rounded by family and friends
who can be found constantly
praying for her recovery.
With rising medical bills, Bobi
Jo's family struggles to keep up.
Knowing they had Medicaid
put them at ease until the doctor
told them he does not accept the
insurance.
Christy made phone calls to
everyone she knew to get a list of
doctors who took Medicaid. Even
after calling the governor's office
for help with the list, Christy still
had no answers.


But Bobi Jo's family would not
easily give up. Finally, after reach-
ing Mark Foley, Christy received
the list she wanted.
"I would like to thank each
and every person at Oakbrook of
LaBelle for everything they .have
done for Bobi Jo," said.Bobi Jo's
mother, Christy.
With the doctor's initial
response to let Bobijo go, no one
would believe everything she can
do now.
Just five months after her acci-
dent, Bobijo is talking. It is some-
thing no one thought she would
ever do again. Though she cannot
hold a lengthy conversation with


anyone, she is making progress.
With Bobi Jo's three school-
aged children at relatives' homes,
BobiJo's family needs all the sup-
port they can get.
BobiJo has learned to do other
things such as part the hair from
her face and.walk with assistance.
With additional therapy, family
members are hoping to see even
more improvements from BobiJo.
In the meantime, the family
remains grateful to everNone who
has offered their support.
"I would also like to thank
community members for the love
and prayers they have given Bobi
Jo," said Christy.

'Clown' face may hide different personality


What is it about downs that scare
some children? Yesterday I figured it
out along with a dear friend. Their
face tells a different story than what
is in their heart. To a child's instincts
they may seem to be hiding some-
thing. My dear friend suffered with
serious child abuse. The abuser was
her mother. To the world her mother
seemed to be nurturing kind person,
but behind closed doors she wore
another face. She has nightmares
about clowns and %when the clown
face is removed;.t[ is her mother.
My mother was hik+ that too
Everyone loved her. They didn't see
the screaming rude vicious side of
her. She put on a different face for
them. Are you wearing a lot of differ-
ent faces and your family can never
tell who you are or who you are going
to be? It is up to us to change this
behavior and make our inside face


The V.

match our outside face.
\\hen we fall into the trap of per-
femtonis.m'nid' pleasing others Fis
when we feel the need to put on
another mask We don't have to pro-
tect ourselves any longer. A wounded
animal will pretend to be healthy so
it will not draw attention to the
wound. Aren't we all wounded in
some way or another? We don't want
anyone to see our pain or our imper-


fecnons. \\e nrght get in trouble My
dear friend said something yesterday
that was so profound that I have to
share it with) ou Here is what she
said to me in an instant message-
"There are wounded caregivers
that pass on those wounds to their
children; what was done to them will
in some way be used to be done to
you. The first line bf their strategy is
to mold our self-concept to suit their
wounded needs, but we don't know
they are wounded. They are where
we learn everything ... we !ove them.
We trust them'even when-they hurt
us. *M
"As children we can't afford to
know that our very means of survival
is wounded so we internalize the
blame and incorporate it into our
self-concept. Without knowing it, we
are using a survival mechanism. It's
safer to think that there are things


wrong with us, than things wrong
with our means of survival without
realizing it. These get formed into
our self-concept.
"Our inner dialog parrots this
back to us. We take our inner dialog
as the guidance it was created to be,
but we were never taught that any of
it was corrupted' \e follow t like it
is all facts and God's word. Even
when i e get more worldly and learn.
that all that was done to us, taught to
us isn't necessarily true. -We were
never taught how .to "evaluate" the
ongoing stream of inner dialog to.
guide us. It never occurred to us that
part of the manuring process is learn-
ing not only how to think for our-
selves but how to edit our own think-
ingitself."
When she wrote this my mouth
just hung open in the shock of how
simple yet how true her words were.

worked for more than 20 years at
Margaret's Beauty Salon, owned by
Margaret Davis who was Katie's best
friend.
She was known for telling some
of the best stories and holding a
group's attention wherever she was.
Some of you reading this may
have been a recipient of a phone call
or two from Mom, as she loved her
telephone. She may have called a
didn't say anything but "How are
you doing?" and then some may
have been blessed with one of those
calls where .she was like the 'Energiz-
er Bunny' where she went on and
on. Regardless, she loved people,
their stories, and will surely be
missed.

With only their dark snouts
and heads visible above the water-
line, American alligators often
manage to elude even the most
dedicated daylight observers. It's
a different story at night when the
reptiles' glowing yellow eyes easi-
ly reflect the glare of a high-pow-
ered spotlight.
Soon, that knowledge will be
put to use by hunters as they),
spread out across Florida's
marshes and lakes to take thou-
sands of alligators for meat, hides
and trophies.
For the first time, 50 of those
hunters have the opportunity to
test their skills in STA-5 in
Hendry County, an 8-square-mile
stormwater treatment area creat-
ed by the South Florida Water
Management District as part of
the Everglades restoration effort.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission will let
hunters take 100 alligators out of
STA-5 over nine weekends in
August, September and October
A small percentage of the abun-
dant aquatic-lo\ing lizards, about
1 million can be found statewide,
are hunted annually following

regulations set and monitored by
the FWC.
The District's stormwater
treatment area is one of four new
land areas approved for alligator
hunting by the FWC this year,
said Jen 'Williams, public hunt'
area biologist for the FWC's
south region.
The District agreed to open the
wetland area as part of its contin-
uing commitment to broaden
land access for public recreation,
said Fred Davis, Division Director
for Land Stewardship.
For the last few years, the Dis-
trict has welcomed hikers, bird
watchers and duck hunters in the
wetland southwest of Clewiston
off Blumberg Road. There are
plans to add public restrooms and
a parking area on site in 2007.
There are also boat ramps at
STA-5. an area designated by the
FWC as alligator harvest unit 406.
but hunters aren't allowed to use
motorized boats at the site to help
them capture and kill alligators.
Alligators can be hunted on foot
from the levee banks or from
boats that can be paddled or
poled.
The boating restriction is


designed to prevent motors from
stirring up phosphorus in the
stormwater treatment area.
Stormwater treatment areas are
constructed wetlands designed to
reduce levels of the growth-stimu-
lating nutrient in surface water
flowing into the Everglades. High
levels of phosphorus encourage
the overgrowth of non-native
species, altering habitat for Flori-
da's native plant and animal life.
Alligator hunting in STA-5 is
scheduled on Friday and Saturday
evenings of Aug. 18 and 19, Aug.
25 and 26, Sept. I and 2, Sept. 8
and 9, Sept. 15 and 16, and on
Oct. 6 and 7 Hunters with per-
mits to take alligators from STA5,
but who didn't capture their limit
of two alligators, can try again Fn-
day and Saturday evenings of Oct.
13 and 14, Oct. 20 and 21, and
Oct. 27 and 28.
Camping is not allowed in the
stormwater treatment area.

GATOR TALE: I live in Buckhead Ridge on Linda Road near a canal and
this morning, I noticed a horrible smell Well, there in the canal was what
was left of about an 11 foot alligator with its tail cut off I have notified the
fish and game commission and if I could find out who did this they would
have a pile of rotten alligator guts on their front porch. I don't have a prob-
lem with eating gator tail, but at least take the rest of it out to the boon docks
and bury it or something.

WASTE: Why are we wasting money on Senior Connections Nutrition
Program when Hope Connection has taken the responsibility of serving the
elderly clients? The Glades and Hendry County Commissioners need to
investigate this problem because they are wasting our tax payer's money.

Surviving the Wilds of Florida


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Special to Glades
County Democrat
A man who has a passion for
outdoor adventuring, for enjoying
most anything and everything
that comes under the heading of
wild and wonderful, has written a
book titled "Surviving The Wilds
Of Florida." He is Reid F. Tllery
of Melrose, Fla.
He writes: "Florida is a beauti-
ful state with vast wild areas that
beckon to be explored. But to.
safely enjoy any wilderness set-
ting you must know how to pro-
vide for your own well-being, as
well as your companions."
Reid is a seasoned outdoors-
man, a search-and-rescue techni-
cian, a licensed ham radio opera-
tor, a former army medic, and a
former emergency medical tech-
nician. Having had vast experi-
ence in all these fields, he is qual-
ified perhaps overqualified! -
to write such a book.
He points out that like most
adventures, some can be danger-
ous. Anyone venturing into the
wilds must be aware of the danger
and act with due caution and pru-
dence.
And he further points out that
sometimes even our own "back-
yards" can be dangerous, that is
when one encounters a snake, a
rabid raccoon, or even the Brazil-
ian pepper commonly called
Florida holly (Schinus tere-
brinthifolius).
He tells us what to do when
coming in contact with poison
Sumac (Toxicodenron vernix), a
relative of poison ivy. These
plants are pictured in color which
serves as an identification guide.
He describes these animals and
plants extensively and spells out
"hat do upon contact.
And there are those around
who have a notion that building a
slanted A-frame shelter for a
camp-out would be a great week-
end project. Well, it's not as diffi-
cult as it may sound; however,
there are rules instructions in
this book that will assure success

"Finding Your Way Without A
Map."
Reid emphasizes that \\ wildlife
Awareness is of the utmost impor-
tance. In this chapter he writes
about the American alligator first,
which he says, may be the most
prominent symbol of Florida
today Alligators are found
throughout the state and are
more plentiful now than fewv
decades ago. At one time their


populations were so thinned out
by hide hunters it became neces-
sary to enact laws to protect
them.
Now alligators have made a
significant comeback. Today there
are an estimated 1 million gators
in Florida. But with the increase
of more people and more gators,
the incidences of gator attacks in
Florida have gone up dramatical-

common sense what to do" and
"what not to do" when it comes
to alligators


"Florida is a beautiful i
state with vast wild areas:
that beckon to be
explored. But to safely
enjoy any wilderness set-
ting you must know how
to provide for your own
well-being, as well as,

These are just fractions of this
10-chapter how-to book on sur-
viving and enjoying the wilds of:

extraordinary job of research
which is evident on every page.

Solunar Theory: the moon can make the fish bite


By Bob Wattendorf
Biologist, Fish and Wildlife Con-
servation Commission
The best time to go freshwater
fishing, for me, is whenever I get a
chance.
However, if your schedule -is
flexible and you want to be a bit
more scientific about it, pay atten-
tion to the moon. Many fish and
game activity calendars you see in
news media and elsewhere are
based on the Solunar Theory,
developed by John Alden Knight.
In 1926, Knight considered
some folklore he picked up while
fishing in Florida and decided to
evaluate 33 factors that might influ-
ence fresh or saltwater fishes to be
more active periodically. Three of
them seemed to merit further
examination sunrises/sunsets,
moon phases and tides. From that,
the avid fly fisherman created the
Solunar Theory, which he named
for Sol (the Roman sun god), and
Luna (the Roman goddess who
personified the moon).
Anglers already knew tides
were an important factor in saltwa-
ter fishing success, and recognized
the connection between tides and
moon phases. Meanwhile, Ameri-


Fish Busters

Bulletin

can Indians, and other groups that
depended on hunting and fishing
for survival, realized animals were
more active during full and new
moons. Knight speculated the rela-
tionship between the sun and
moon, rather than tidal stages,
might provide a way to predict fish-
ing success. Knight determined
that midway between when the
moon rose and set, and vice-versa,
fishing activity peaked. He coined
the phrases "major Solunar peri-
ods" and "minor Solunar periods"
to describe them. These periods of
greatest animal activity (not only
fish) last 90 minutes to three hours,
depending on the moon's relation-
ship to the sun, its distance from
Earth and the sun's angle from the
equator.
In 1936, Knight published the
first Solunar Tables based on this
information. However, we now
know that, to be accurate, the pre-
cise times from each table must
consider the geographic location
and be adjusted for daylight saving


time, when appropriate. You can
approximate these times by adding
six hours to the rise and set times
for the moon (see
MyFWC.com/Fishing/ScheduleLu
narCalculator.html for an online
calculator for any date and loca-
tion).
The intensity of Solunar peri-
ods' impact varies according to the
position of the moon, its distance
from Earth and the angle of the
moon above or below the equator.
New moons provide maximum
impact when the sun and moon
are traveling in rhythm with their
forces combined. During a full
moon, they are opposite one
another, with one or the other
nearly always above the horizon,
and they provide a strong second-
ary peak. Then the intensity tapers
off to a minimum during the
moon's third quarter. June has the
greatest combined Solunar influ-
ence. You should also consider
local weather patterns. Fish and
wildlife ha'e an innate ability to
predict weather and react accord-
ingly. Barometric changes, espe-
cially a downward trend, often can
turn fishing off. Conversely, some-
times an approaching cold front
seems to make fish go into a feed-


ing frenzy to beat the bad weather.
Typically, if the barometer is steady
or rising and the air temperature is
significantly higher than the water
temperature, a stronger response
to the Solunar periods is likely, but
immediately following a cold front,
some fish are rather lethargic. Tem-
perature is also associated with
spawning times and can be a key
factor in the seasonal patterns of
fish behavior. You can find more
about that at MyFWC.comrnfish-
ing schedule seasonal-
calendar.html
A natural day for fish, and many
other animal species, revolves
around a twice-daily "biological
clock" that appears to coincide
with lunar time. It is based on the
time it takes the moon to complete
one rotation of the earth (an aver-
age of 24 hours and 53 minutes).
This explains why ocean tides are
about an hour later each day and
why most fish, freshwater species
included, will feed up to an hour
later each day. Regardless of
whether species are most active in
daytime or night, sunrise and sun-
set are important to in their move-
ments and feeding.
So when you put it all together,
the odds are if you go fishing six


hours after the moon rises or sets,
and that time coincides with sun-
rise during a new moon, while the
barometer is rising, the water levels
are adequate, water quality is
good, there are plenty of big hun-
gry fish looking for food, and not
too many big hungry mosquitoes,
you've got the optimum fishing
time. Or if all this confuses you as
much as it does me, remember -
the BEST time to go fishing' is
whenever you can go safely.

Bear cubs taken to a sanctuary


Two female Florida black bear
cubs have arrived at Busch
Wildlife Sanctuary, where they
will live the remainder of their
lives.
The cubs were captured Sun-
day near Baker County Hospital in
Macclenny. The sow with them
has been euthanized because of
her aggressiveness toward
humans, entering residential
neighborhoods, being fed by peo-
ple and eating from garbage con-
tainers, according to Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) officials.
Only one other facility -
Lions, Tigers & Bears of Arcadia,
besides Busch Wildlife Sanctuary,
which is a nonprofit facility in
Vero Beach that receives no gov-
ernmental funding said it could
take one or both of the cubs, if
necessary. Both facilities have
FWC permits to take in certain
wildlife.
However, FWC officials said
while finding a permitted facility
for the cubs resulted in a positive
outcome for them, usually that is
not the case.
"These cubs are fortunate,"
said Kipp Frohlich, section leader
of Imperiled Species for FWC.
"There are not many facilities will-
ing to take bears, and we usually
have to euthanize nuisance bears
when they lose their fear of
humans.
"That is why we cannot stress
enough never feed a bear, and
make sure to keep pet food, bird
feeders and seed, garbage and
other food items where bears
cannot get into them.
"Bears are attracted to
garbage. They like to dig in
Dumpsters and garbage cans. But
there are ways commercial
Dumpsters and residential
garbage cans can be tightly
secured," Frohlich said. "We need
the cooperation of waste-man-
agement companies and local
communities if we are to solve
this problem."
The sow was sighted several
times at an Orange County
Dumpster that did not have a
secured lid. Eventually, after own-
ers secured the lid, the female and
her cubs left the immediate vicini-
ty and did not return.
"We can't stress enough the
illegality of feeding bears," said
Matthew Pollock, FWC's North
Central Regional wildlife manage-
ment biologist.
In most cases, it results in

Students learn about wildlife, environment


What's it like to be a sea turtle
hatchling making its life-threaten-
ing trek from sand to sea? How
does a bug see the world? Why do
birds have feathers? Why is a
flounder flat?
Students nationwide, includ-
ing many in Florida will be getting
their hands dirty and their curios-
ity piqued this school year as they
answer some wild questions
about wildlife.
Project WILD, one of the most
widely used conservation and
environmental education pro-
grams in the nation, has taught 1


Main

Continued From Page 1
Mr. Moore opened a real estate
office beneath a shady royal Poin-
ciana and began business selling
muck land to Midwesterners.
The town boomed, sprouting
a school with 22 pupils, a bank,
power plant and new families
relocating to Moore Haven from
Glades Crest, Ritta and other
sawgrass towns around Lake
Okeechobee despite the difficul-
ty in coaxing crops from the
waterlogged land, traveling most-
ly by boat for supplies.
It was through the efforts of
the first woman mayor south of
the Mason-Dixon line, Marian
Newhall Horwitz, elected in
1917, bedazzling in her long
satin dresses and egret-plumed
hats, that brought the first "rail"
into town in' 1918 and estab-
lished an emergency landing
strip at nearby Arcadia, Lowe
Flying Field, during World War I.
"The Duchess of Moore
Haven," as she was so honored
by the Literary Digest, further
proposed contracting the rail to
Clewiston in 1920 when the first
sugar cane industry was born in
the Everglades.
However, a turn of fate on
September 18, 1926 ended the
era of Moore Haven's heyday
when the town was destroyed by
a powerful and destructive hurri-
cane that cut its wrath across
Lake Okeechobee taking with it
the town and many lives. -..
But loore.Hayen %\as quickly
rebuilt single-handedly by the
town's survivors.
Moore Haven's historical
town center rests vacated and
somewhat dilapidated awaiting
its next revival alongside the sole
surviving "Lone Cypress" on the
beautiful Caloosahatchee River
that today serves as a gateway for
some 18,000 boaters crossing
from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Gulf of Mexico through Lake
Okeechobee.
Envisioning the cultural cen-
ter that Main Street "used to be,"
with its architectural beauty not
yet completely compromised in
the old deteriorating buildings,
team member David Quinn of
"Handmade in America" said,
"Moore Haven's Main Street can
be the spiritual and cultural
revival in the region, opening
economic opportunities for
locals hosting downtown festi-
vals where people can stroll-
through the park, children can
play and new businesses can
thrive along the riverfront."
The team emphasized that
"the promotion of the riverfront
should be the number one priori-
ty of city fathers to provide jobs
and economic development."
Renewing life on "Main
Street" also "preserves a sense of
place where heritage tours can
attract visitors from across the
state to spend time exploring the
natural beauty, tourist attrac-
tions,
birding/hiking/boating/biking to
escape pollution and the fast-
pace stress of city life.
"Main Street Moore Haven


million educators how to bring
the outdoors into the classroom.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission pro-
vides the materials and training to
Florida teachers, who pass their
knowledge of the natural world
on to their students. Each year,
about 55,000 teachers nation-
wide receive training, including
1,738 in Florida this year who
have reached about 43,000 stu-
dents.
"It's rewarding to see students
get excited about wildlife and the
environment," said Lori Haynes,


needs to be preserved to get back
to the heart and soul of the com-
munity," said Mr. Quinn.
As School Board member Mike
Presslev commented, "His foot-
prints are in almost all of the old
downtown buildings from the
barbershop to the post office."
Historic preservation archi-
tect, Bob Field and Main Street
Deland Executive Director, Taver
Cornett stressed the need to
partner with the agricultural
community as stakeholders in
promoting Main Street, creating
a "Farmer's Market" that has
proven to be an economic engine
for local farmers in other now-
thriving Main Street towns such
as Ft. Pierce and Deland. "It cre-
ates local jobs and attracts peo-
ple to the area," he said.
Team members suggested that
city leaders look at developing a
marine complex on the riverfront
with good docks, wviater, power
and expanded amenities creating
an infrastructure of pedestrian-
style lights around the park and a
ship's store, on a contracted
basis, as a magnet for profit.
Additionally, "they need to
promote the use of historic tax
abatement and enterprise zone
incentives, to attract more busi-
nesses to the area."
Another of Moore Haven's
prime needs is a hotel/restaurant
complex. However, team mem-
bers emphasized that the town
needs to be promoted first to
bring people to 'the area, and
then provide accommodations
for -tourists during-any -of-the-
foreseeable pevts
T,;he, Florida Main Street team
agreed that the most important
asset unique to Moore Haven is
the riverfront.
Many historic areas in Florida
have been successfully revived
through the Main Street program
but Moore Haven's riverfront is a
distinctive "plus."
Tracy Whirls, Main Street
Moore Haven Program Manager,
envisions outdoor cafes and
tables where people can visit,
shop, and enjoy the beauty of the
Calosahatchee River as a back-
drop.
"We launched the Main Street
initiative because when compa-
nies are looking to site some-
where, one of the first things
they look for is 'quality of life.'
And, if we have nothing else, we
have that less traffic, less
crime, more nature, and more
water," said Ms. Whirls. "We
coined a slogan: Main Street
Moore Haven; where less is
more."
Ms. Whirls, who is also the
Glades County Economic Devel-
opment Council's Executive
Director, said, "I can tell you now
after many years of having less of

State of the art equipment in the OR


By Glenda Wilson
Hendry Regional Medical Center
CLEWISTON With video
technology being the trend in
today's environment, Hendry
Regional Medical Center has pur-
chased several new pieces of equip-
,ment to perform upper and lower
endoscopic procedures. One com-
ponent of the new equipment has
video capacities, providing clearer
and more detailed images, which
allow the doctor and the OR staff to
look for abnormalities and also to
take pictures simultaneously.
The two tests, upper and lower
.endoscopies, are significantly dif-
'ferent, but there has been much
improvement, especially in the
,patient's comfort. Depending on
your doctor and on your capability
of being sedated, today these pro-
cedures are as easy as getting a
haircut (well, not quite).
The upper endoscopy consists
of the doctor inserting a tube down
.your throat and snaking it through
your upper digestive system;
.esophagus, stomach and jejunum.
The procedure might be used to
discover the reason for swallowing
difficulties, nausea, vomiting,
.reflux, bleeding, indigestion,
abdominal pain or chest pain.
The lower endoscopy
(colonoscopy) requires that a tube
be placed into the rectum to pro-
duce images of the colon (large

Start school day off right with good breakfast


As South Florida students head
back to school, parents have spent a

But some ma\ forget an impor-

The link between eating breakfast
and being ready to learn is so docu-

free breakfast program for children of
low income families. According to a
study sponsored by the American
Dairy Council, poverty is only orn.
-reason children may skip breakfast.
According to the study, children of

tion, as parents are entering the
w0irkfo.ie in ilKreasiiig numbers in
the 1990's, many children are on
their own for meals and snacks,
Some children may as a result skip
meals altogether. Others choose their
own meals from only one or two
food groups, which might temporari-
ly appease their hunger but does not
meet their overall nutritional needs.
"Because learning-related effects
of poor nutrition occur before any
visible signs of weight loss or growth
retardation, -we cannot assume that a
child ot normal -,eight or one that Ls
'chunky,' is well-nourished," the
report continues.
A study conducted in 1991
found that up to 50 percent of chil-


dren from all socioeconomic
groups were affected by hunger-

school day.
A hungry child may s.llcr Irom

A balanced breakfast will help
keep a child's blood sugar levels
constant until lunchtime. Avoid
cereals that have "sugar" as the first
ingredient listed This indicates
sugar is the primary ingredient in
the cereal. Sweet rolls or donuts are
all right for .an occasional treat, but
should not be the onlv "bre.il.st"

Some good choices for breakfast
mayinclude:
Whole grain cereal with fruit
and milk;
.. Eggs. toast .iCe ;and milkk" .
Bagel uith cream cheese, fruit

Homemade pancakes, bacon,
juice and milk.
Teenagers who are weight con-


scious should be reminded that eat-
ing a healthy breakfast helps you lose
weight, by helping to maintain a con-
stant blood sugar level. Those who
wish to lose weight mighi consider a
breakfast of yogurt and fruit or a
whole grain muffin, with fruit and
milk. It's important for all young
people to include foods from several
of the food groups (dairy, whole
grains piotcih friuitsandvegetables)

Some children have specific
nutritional needs or allergies. Con-
sult with v our child's pediatrician
about the best breakfast for you

Before making any change to
your diet or exercise routine, consult
your doctor. This is espeJiall imnpor-
tant if you are on"any prescnpnon
medications. Some drugs interact
badly with foods that would other-
wise be considered "healthy."

Drug pribe Web



site expand


TALLAHASSEE Attorney Gen-
eral Charlie Crist has announced
that even more Floridians will now
be able to take advantage of a Web
site that helps consumers to com-
parison shop and save money on
their prescription drugs.
Mr Crist said his office has dou-
bled the types of prescription med-
ications listed at the www.MyFlori-
daRx.com website, enabling
consumers to find the best prices
on the 100 most commonly pre-
scribed medications and their
generic equivalents.
The searchable database. is
updated monthly to help Floridi-
ans find the most current prices on
the top 100 prescription drugs.
With generic equivalents and dif-
ferent dosage amounts included in
the database, the website now
allows consumers 'to price some
600 different prescription options.
A few clicks at the website makes it
easy for consumers to determine
which pharmacies close to their
homes offer the best prices on the
medications they need.
Since it was launched in June
2005, the website has attracted an
average of more than 4.100 visitors
per week for a total of 254,203
internet users as of midnight Mon-
day.


"We are pleased to offer even
more help to Floridians to stretch
their health care dollars," said
Attorney General Crist. "Mote
products mean more savings for
those trying to hold down bills for
prescriptiondrugs."
The website allows consumers
to compare prices for prescription
drugs charged by pharmacies in
their city, and even within their
Individual zip code Helpful infor-
mation is available in both English
and Spanish, and the search results
can be easily viewed and even
downloaded to a spreadsheet so
consumers can review all prices at
their convenience.
MyFlondaRx.com is designed to
assist consumers of all age groups.
Prices on MyFloridaRx.com
reflect what an uninsured con-
sumer, with no discount or supple-
mental plan, would normally pay.
Because the information on the
website is based on data provided
to the state by the pharmacies
themselves, prices shown on the
website are not guaranteed and are
subject to change. The website was
launched in June 2005 with the
assistance of the Agency for Health
Care Administration.

Alzheimer's Disease

mars storm measures


While Floridians stash away
bottled water, canned food and bat-
tenes in preparation for the next big
one, there's one thung they may be
forgetting preparing to care for;
the elderly and victims of
Alzheimer's disease.
Florida has the largest per capital
elderly population in the country,
with 17 5 percent of Flondians 65
or older in 2005. Additionally,
almost 4.50,000 Flondians are lih-
ing with Alzheimer's. That
amounts to one out of every 10
Alzheimer's sufferers in the U.S.
Many people with the disease live
at home with loved ones. Care-
givers must take extra precautions
to care for their loved ones in a hur-
ricane.

Classroom poll provides tips to ensure kids' safety online


WASHINGTON, DC -While 90
percent of parents and guardians of
children ages 8-18 think they
should have a lot of responsibility
for ensuring kids' online safety, only
one-third of them see themselves as
"very knowledgeable" about how to
educate their children to use the
Internet safely and responsibly.
A new 'Cable in the Classroom'
poll conducted by Harris Interactive
also found that 71 percent of par-
ents think schools should have a lot
of the responsibility for making sure
children's online experiences are
safe ones, and some have turned to
their schools for advice (42 per-
cent). Only about half of parents (49
percent) think that government and
law enforcement agencies should
have "a lot" of responsibility for
ensuring that children have safe
experiences on the Internet.

have positive views of the value of

Douglas Levin, senior director of
education policy for Cable in the

Previous Poliical Experience-
Absolutelynone.
What motivated you to run for
office: I'do not feel the leaders of
Glades Count) hate been in touch
with the voters and taxpayers of
Glades County. All the economic
opportunities that have been
dropped or lost by Glades County
these past five or sixyears.
Why do you feel you are the best
candidate: I feel the best candidate
may not be running for office here in
Glades County. I am running
because I do not think the people in
Glades County realize what kind of a
"diamond in the rough" we have
here in Glades County. With the cur-
rent indications that the leaders
would like to have a regional landfill
located in this county they do not
realize the damage that would be
done to the future economic devel-
opment of this area. Glades County
is at a fork in the road. One direction
leads to a false impression that there
would be a large infusion of money
into the county that would benefit
the schools and the infrastructure.
The long term results and liabilities
are nowhere near as encouraging.
The other fork is the long hard way
that will take time, diligence and
patience but the benefits wUll be long
term and [or future generations \\e
have a very delicate environment
that should be managed with
extreme caution.
If elected, what would be your
first act in office: I think that the very
same reasons that would bring a
regional landfill to this area are even
stronger reasons for bringing in
many other more profitable busi-
nesses. They would have a much
greater and more positive economic
impact on the entire region. There is
the "golden triangle" or "technical
triangle" in North Carolina that had
in the early stages the same kinds of
problems that we have in Glades
County. Today after about 30 years or
more of a lot of hard work and
thought it is one of the most desired
locations in the United States. It was
started with "incubators." That is
where small businesses with good
ideas and little resources were
encouraged to come together in
groups that would be synergistic or
complementary to each other for
help and future growth. It worked for
them and it can work for Glades
County. Glades County is geographi-
cally ideal for centralization and dis-
tribution to all of South and Central
Florida. Many high-tech industries
and service industries could be locat-
ed right here in Glades County to
service all of South Florida very eco-
nomically. There are all types of busi-
nesses that can be invited to the area
while retaining the most important

SAnd on the subject of reading,
Principal Luckey urges parents to
monitor their children's reading at
least four nights a week, even if it's
just a child reading to a parent.
"Some parents don't seem to
think that they have the 4lalls to read
to their children," Principal Luckey
said. "However, listening to the stu-
dent read is the most important sloll
needed."

What motivated you to run for

Glades County with altruistic hon-

experience to work with Glades
County's leaders as we grow by pop-

inherent economic and lifestyle
impacts.
Why do you feel you are the best

thinking and problem solving. I am

respectful dialogue with children is
key to help them feel comfortable
coming to parents for guidance
when they see something that con-
cerns or confuses them. This kind of
approach, says CIC, "will ensure
children gain the knowledge and
learn the skills they need to cope
when parents aren't there to guide
and protect them."
Among the strategies outlined:
Set basic ground rules, explain
the rules, and discuss why they are
important. Rules include "Think
before you post. Don't post words
or pictures you would not want your

Landscaping can attract birds


ByEd Ayen,
Florida Yards & Neighborhood
This is another in a series of arti-
cles written about the new area pro-
gram called Florida Yards & Neigh-
borhoods.
Are you spending a lot of money
on birdseed? Are the squirrels eating
more than the birds? Maybe it is time
to think about replacing some of that
hard to care for lawn with native
plants that provide food and shelter
for birds year after year. Like all
wildlife, birds need food, cover and
water Food should consist of fruits,
seeds and insects. Birds need access
to cover for nesting and shelter from
weather and predators. They also
need a source of water for drinking
and bathing; moving water is very
attractive to birds.
Keep in mind that some of the
south Florida songbirds are migrato-
ry and require food and cover only
during the fall, winter and spring
months. You may want to select
plants that flower during the spring
migrations and attract insects for the
insect eating birds, or select a variety
of plants which-offer a consistent
supply of food over an extended peri-
od of time. Try placing plants min
groupings to imitate natural habitats
and provide a variety of plant heights
and densities within these group-
ings.
Fruit eating birds such as the
Cedar Waxwing and the Gray Cat-
bird are attracted to the Marlberry
(Ardisia escoalloniodes); a Florida
native shrub that grows to a height of
15 feet and has fragrant white flow-
ers all year with round purple fruit in
fall and winter. Beautyberry (Calli-
carpa americana) is another shrub
well liked by fruit eater such as Car-
dinals, .Mockingbirds. Catbirds and
Thrashers. Beautyberry can grow to
six feet and has light purple flowers
from spring to fall and small purplish
fruit coiLsLumed by birds in lae wun-
ter. Another native fruit tree is the
Red Mulberry (Morn rubra). These


TALLAHASSEE Florida
Agriculture and Consumer Ser-
vices Commissioner Charles H.
Bronson has announced that he is
taking steps to pave the way for
alternative fuel production and
use in Florida. He is hosting the
first ever Florida Farm to Fuel
Summit to be held Aug. 30 to
Sept. 1, at the Omni Orlando at
Champions Gate.
The summit will cover current
research initiatives, future produc-
tion and distribution of ethanol
and bio-diesel in Florida, and
incentives/financing opportunities
for the alternative or renewable
fuels industry.
It is attracting high-level par-
ticipants from the federal and
state government, as well as rep-
resentatives of private industry
who will be a driving force in
achieving a major alternative fuels
program. Keynote speakers
include Assistant Secretary for
Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy, Alexander Karsner; USDA
Under Secretary for Research -
Education and Economics, Gale
Buchanan; State Senator Lee Con-
stantine and State Representative


Adam Hasner. The program will
also feature a special presentation
on Brazil's effort at achieving
petroleum independence.
The summit is a component of
Bronson's ambitious "Farm to
Fuel" initiative a comprehensive
effort to promote alternative ener-
gy and help position Florida as a
leader in the production of bio-
fuels.
"Since the passage of the Energy
Policy Act of 2005, announcement
of the President's Advanced Energy
Initiative and passage of Florida's
Energy Act, the interest in renew-
able energy has never been
greater," Bronson said.
"Our Farm to Fuel Summit is
just one of many ways that we are
trying to bring the necessary par-


ties and stakeholders together to
discuss using the state's renewable
resources to reduce our dependen-
cy on foreign oil and other non-
renewable sources of energy. Our
ultimate goal is to enhance the
market for, and promote the pro-
duction and distribution of renew-
able energy from Florida-grown
crops, agricultural wastes and
residues, and other biomass, stated
Commissioner Bronson.
Commissioner Bronson stated
that as fuel prices continue to sky-
rocket, all Florida citizens should be
taking an interest in and supporting
alternative fuels development.

Master Gardeners help homeowners


By Dan Culbert
Master Gardeners are Exten-
sion-trained volunteers who can
answer many questions about
your home and garden. They are
our office's "life-lines", and allow
agents, to answer harder horticul-
tural questions, present other
programs and help solve many
other issues.
Our trained volunteers are well
equipped to handle most of the
requests that come to our office.
They have received initial training
in more than 55 hours of classroom
instruction in horticulture. Each
year the) take additional training to
keep them current. Sometimes the\
bring a lifetime of their own g.t-
dening knowledge and experiences
to their job. As volunteers, they can
spend as much time as is necessary
to give homeowners information to
solve their problem
And we despcratel) need a few
more in the next year.
Got a gardening
question?
People contacting our office can
interact with Master Gardeners.
We currently offer free assistance
at' our county Extension office.
These special volunteers work in
our office on Tuesday afternoons
during a two-three hour period.
Master Gardeners handle the calls
by telephone, or sometimes by e-
mail, and meet office visitors that
arrive with soil samples or pest-
infested samples from their
homes. After questioning, a diag-

Wanted: green thumbs!
Through this Extension training
program, current Master Gardeners
have begun to share their love of
horticulture with others. Our pro-
gram is relatively new, but our cur-
rent corps of seven volunteers have
provided over 1,000 hours of assis-
tance to our county. This year we
looked back and noticed that one
county Master Gardener has even
been at it for 10 years.
If any of the above activities
sound interesting to you, consider
becoming a Florida Master Gardener
yourself. A person's desire to learn
and share is more important among.
potential Master Gardeners than cur-
rent knowledge and experience. Give
it some thought or maybe you can
nominate someone else if you aren't


able to volunteer.

Fisheating Creek has long history


By MaryAnn Morris
The name, "Fisheating Creek"
itself is a wonder. It comes from the
Creek native American language.
The word, "Thlothlopopka-hatch-
ee" means "the creek where fish are
eaten."
The first known settlement
along the banks of Fisheating
Creek is dated between 1000 and
500 BC. The early inhabitants,
known as the Belle Glade people,
began building mounds and other
earthworks and lived by netting
fish and harvesting turtles, snakes,
and alligators. According to Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, University of Florida
archeologist Jerald Milanich, who
worked on the area as a student in
the 1960s, perforations found on
turtle shells indicate turtles were
tethered to be eaten as needed.
But the creek was more than a
source of food and water. It was
also a canoe highway leading to
Lake Okeechobee and its resources
to the east and other settlements to
the west.
Historic accounts include story
that during the Second Seminole
War (1835-1842), a cabbage palm
fortification named Fort Center
for Lt. J.E Center was located on
Fisheating Creek. Oscen
Tustenuggee, who had organized
many war parties, and his iwo
bothers, Micco Tustenuggee and
Old Tustenuggee, and their wi"es
lived in villages along the creek
In 1842, George Henry Preble
of the U.S. Navy described the diffi-
culties of a trip up Fisheating C reek
in a 30-foot cypress dugout canoe
named "Susan" after his sweet-
* heart: "This stream is very tortu-
ous, and sometimes sells into a
river and then dwiindles into a
brook,' he wrote
According to "\\ilhliam B Hook-
er, Cattle King." b\ K.le \an Land-
ingham."By the mid-1850s

"Pioneers in Palmdale," the
story of the Wadlow family settling
in Palmdale in the 1930s states:
"Each Sunday everybody got
together in a couple of skeeter
trucks and went to some pretty
place on Fisheating Creek to fish.
We took such food as cabbages,
potatoes, biscuits and syrup.
"The fellows would kill rabbits,
turkeys, ducks, squirrels, quail,
and fish until we had enough for
the crowd. One man who worked
at the coaling station on the rail-
road always brought the coffee and
hauled some of the people in his
little truck. After we finished eat-
ing, we always divided up every-
thing that was left. That was the
only good meal for some of the
folks until the next Sunday."
Eventually the land came to be
owned by the Lykes family, a pow-

This fisherman is preparing his line to fish on Fisheating Creek in 1969.


Recollections
A series about Florida's
pioneers and history






tions, local people had used the
creek as their own; picnicking,
swimming, fishing along its beauti-
ful, 40 miles .length. But this was
not to be. The Lykes family, who
owned the land toppled ancient
cypress trees across the water and
gates "clanged shut" blocking the
creek from the people of Glades
county.
"There's no doubt that Fisheat-
ing Creek is the center of the collec-
tive psyche of the people in -the
county as far back as anybody can
remember," said Assistant Attorney


General David Guest, quoted in a
1990 article in the Miami Herald.
"Losing the creek case,", said
Attorney General Bob Butterworth,
"would cripple the state's abilir to
defend its other waterways from
other corporate claimants. Fisheat-
ing Creek is no more a local prob-
lem," he says, "than Ted Bundywas
a local problem."
The law that applied was an
ancient rule. Water bodies capable
of being used for a useful public
purpose were recognized and pro-
tected as public property by the
laws of Spain, England and even
ancient Rome. But that didn't
apply to the land under the water.
Hence, you can boat on a water.
way, but not get out onto the bank
if the bank is private property,
according to the Florida BarAssoci-
ation.
The state of Florida, the Federal
government, and others waged a
10-year battle with the'Lykes family
to keep the creek open for the peo-
ple.


On February 19, 1998, Circuit
Court Judge Charles Carlton ruled
that Fisheating Creek belonged to
the people of Flonda, although the
ordinary high water line, which is
used to determine the boundary
between public lands and private
lands, had not been determined.
Lykes Brothers appealed the deci-
sion. To put an end to litigation,
the parties agreed to a settlement
calling for the state of Florida to
purchase a corridor along the creek
under the auspices of the Conser-
vation and Recreation Lands
(CARL) Progrram using funds
appropriated by the Florida Forever
Act. This land (18,272 acres)
became Fisheating Creek Water
Management Area. Today, Fisheat-
ing Creek is one of the prime recre-
ation spots in all of Florida.
Some information for this arti-
cle came from the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commis-
sion.

WASHINGTON The Depart-
ment of Homeland Security's Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has awarded six
new Individual Assistance Techni-
cal Assistance Contracts (IA-TAC)
for program and Disaster Recovery
Center support, temporary hous-
ing group site design and construc-
tion, and for the hauling and
installing of temporary housing
units for future disasters.
The (six) contracts awarded are
for a two year period with a con-
tract ceiling of $250 million each.
Task orders issued (in response to a
disaster) -under contracts will
require the contractors to utilize
local firms to the maximum extent
practical for additional subcon-
tracting opportunities. The prime
contractors receiving awards are
(details for each contract is avail-
able at www.fedbizops.com: Shaw
Environmental & Infrastructure,
Fluor Enterprises, Inc., Partnership
for Temporary Housing, Disaster
Solution Alliance, Bechtel National
and CH2M Hill.
"The awarding of these con-
tracts has been accomplished
through a full and open process,
and the awards have been based on


the best value for the American tax-
payer," said FEMA Director David
Paulison. "The awarding of these
contracts will go a long way toward
ensuring the federal government is
prepared and can act quickly in
responding to the temporary hous-
ing needs of disaster victims any-
where across the country."
The proposals were evaluated to
determine the level of understand-
ing of the work to be performed,
technical approach, potential for
completing the work as specified in
the solicitation, and price/cost rea-
sonableness. The Request for Pro-
posal was posted on the Federal
Business Opportunities Web page,
and specific details on the Request
for Proposal can be found at
www.fedbizops.com.
Some of the work to be tasked
out to the contractors includes:
Site assessment for potential
group sites related to placement of
temporary housing;
Site inspections for potential
placement of temporary housing
on personal proper'.,
Installation of temporary
housing units and staging area sup-
port; Group site design for building
and placement of temporary hous-


ing units; General construction
services; and Facility management.
During the 2005 hurricane sea-
son, the current IA-TAC contrac-
tors played an important role in
supporting delivery of the Individ-
ual Assistance Program aid to dis-
aster victims. When the current
contracts are complete, the con-
tractors will have installed nearly
153,000 temporary housing units.
The firms continue to, support the
Gulf Coast Housing mission to
complete the installation of tempo-
rary housing and the transition of
the maintenance and deactivation
of units and group sites to mostly
local firms. Once this work is
accomplished, the current IA-TAC
contracts will be closed out, with
future disasters being supported by
the new I -TACs
FEMA manages federal
response and recovery efforts fol-
lowing any national incident.
FEMA also initiates mitigation
activities, works with state and
local emergency managers, and
manages the National Flood Insur-
ance Program. FEMA:became part
of the U.S. Department of Home-
land Security on March 1,2003.

Self sacrifice can



bring blessings


By Pastor John Hicks,
First United Methodist Church
One day while 7-year-old Mark
was sitting at his desk in the class-
room, he felt something warm and
looked down to
see the front of
his pants wet,
and a puddle at
his feet on the

not believe it
was happening
to him Immedi.-
atel' he realized
all the ramifica- John
tions that this Hicks
-meant. He could
already hear the teasing of the other
classmates.
He immediately buned his head
in his hands and prayed, "God I
need help now!'" He heard someone
approaching him and looked up to
see Susie coming in his direction
with a big gold fish bowl in her
hands. It was Susie's day to clean the
fish bowl. "Oh no, not Susie!" She
would see and he would never be
able to speak to her again.
But then it happened! Just as she
got to his desk Susie dumped the
entire bowl of water, fish and all into
Mark's lap.
The teacher jumped to Mark's
rescue. Scurried him away to the
boiler room, gave him a pair of gym
shorts to wear, hung his trousers on
the boiler to dry, and put her arm
around him lavishing him with sym-
pathy and understanding. When
they returned to the class room all
the children were busy with paper
towels, drying up the floor and
Mark's books and scolding little
Susie for her clumsiness. When
Susie tried to help, the teacher said,
"Susie, I think you have done
enough for one day."
The acceptance and sympathy
felt so good to Mark that he failed to
realize how rejected Susie felt by the
condemnation of his classmates.
This lasted the rest of the day, until
they were all out front waiting for
rides home.
It was then Mark saw the pain in
Susie's eyes as she stood all alone,


while students from other classes
heard about the mcident for the First.

Mark went over to Susie, and
whispered, 'Susie, you saw, you
knew didn't you? You dumped thai
water on me on purpose didn't ou"'
Susie replied, "Mark, I saw you lay

pants once roo "
"Greater love'has no one than

friends." (John 15-13) 1 have experi-
enced this first hand. One of my
most memorable experiences came
in my younger informative years.,, I
couldn't tellyou how embarrassing it,
was when one of my friend'.s moth-
ers called me a bull in a china shop
when I accidentally broke a piece off
of a model airplane that my friend
and I were putting together A short
time later, I accidentally dropped a
large bowl of popcorn trying to catch
a glass of water I had tipped over. I
was embarrassed beyond belief.
Then came the question I knew
would bring me more embarrass-
ment, "What happened in here?
Who made this mess?"
Before I could answer, my friend
spoke up, "Y)Li kno\w me!" He was
the Susie to my Mark. He took the
shame so I would not have to. There
were not words adequate enough to
express my gratitude and relief.
Over the years, I have pledged
that I would try my best, to do the
same for those around me when
opportunity presented itself. I have
learned that the best way to be of
service is often very simple it's
those little, quiet, often unnoticed
acts of kindness that we choose to do
on a daily basis that really make a dif-
ference.
Something else I've learned:
"Giving is its own reward." When we
give, we also receive. In fact, what we
receive is directly proportional to
what we give. As we give more freely
of ourselves in our own unique ways,
we will experience more blessings
than we ever thought possible.
Everyone wins, especially us.

Losing can teach valuable lessons


By Rev. Samuel S. Thomas,
Ph. D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
There are Biblical stories about
things that are lost: lost sheep, or
lost coins or a lost son (Luke 15).
The parables all tell us that great
joy comes when what was lost is
found again; more joy about find-
ing what was'lost than being thank-
ful that the other sheep or coins, or
children are still around and were
never lost.,
It is a feeling which we all know.
I've hlilpcd pr 'pc many times who
have come to me and said "I've lost
my..." and then we'd begin to,
search. I remember when I was
growing up and our dog ran away.
We searched and searched; wor-
ried, rhlouht a.bcut what we were
going to do when we got our hands
on him once again, and then decid-
ed that we'd be thankful that
was all. We were blessed; the dog
came home and we watched him a
whole lot better after that.
Coins or sheep don't seem to
get upset when they '.ind'l off;
children don't always get upset,
but parents do. We hear about
Je>'uI l ing lost from His fhmil,
Vhein H ;. ,* 12 and had gone up
with His parents ro tire tremplc
(Luke 2:41111 D,; pic:,ts liit:-il him
ilter three da' i-, .ind ai k i Him
"Son. why have you ric.tied us like


this?" and explain that they had
been anxiously searching for Him.
To the child Jesus, it wasn't as big
an issue. He simply explains "Did-
n't you know I
had to be in my
Father's house
(vss 48-49)" -.
We don't '
hear much .
about Jesus' .
adventures for
another 15
years, but I'd
suspect they Samuel S.
kept a better Thomas
eye on Him.
"Lost stories" seem to capture
,oiir atrntion because they shake
up some of the things we take for
granted. I take for granted that my
glasses will be where I thought I
left them the night before as I get
up in the morning. I take for grant-
ed that our dog will be there to
greet me when I get home. I take
for granted that the money I bud-
geted for the week will still be in
my wallet to take me through.


Every once and awhile, I will mis-
lay my keys or a paper I needed
with some notes for an upcoming
presentation; then the search
begins and the anxieties go up.
Sometimes there is a message to
myself in what is going on when I
lose something. It may be some-
thing like "Pay better attention" or
"You're not getting enough sleep"
or "Realize how sacred other
beings are to you when they're in
your life and you've taken them for
granted." In fact, it may not be just
about things being "lost" but per-
haps a lost connection when I've.
tried to call someone and couldn't
get through when I worried about
them. It may be about a person
who was once close in my life and
time has made the contacts fewer
and fewer over the years. It may be
about a promise I made to myself
to "keep in touch" and that I let
slip because of other, more imme-
diate priorities.
I can empathy e w th all of those
people in the Bible who have lost
their coins or sheep or children. I


have also shared their joy when
something or someone is found
once more. I've learned from it to
make a mental note to myself now
and again to really go and visit the
person that I told "I'll stop by
sometime" or to call on the individ-
ual that told me to "drop by some-
time" even if it was said more in the
sense of being polite than really
serious about it. It has taught me
that things or people don't really
have to be lost to be sacred; and
that joyr Iknow when I've found the
lost keys or glasses or the dog
returns home can still be mine
when I appreciate the everyday
things by remembering how special
they really are in my life. I really
don't need to lose them. I only
have to take time to stop and savor
that special relationship we have,
then say "Thank you, Lord" for'
putting them into my life, entrust-
ing them to my care, giving or even
loaning them to me for a time while
we're here together.

Help available for aquaculture industries


TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bronson
Monday announced that the state is
receiving nearly $3.7 million in fed-
eral funds to assist aquaculture
operations that sustained damages
from the 2005 hurricanes.
The money, which is Florida's
share of a larger allocation provided
earlier this year by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture for a number of
Gulf states, will be available to aqua-
culture businesses in 36 counties
that were impacted by the storms.


"I'm encouraged by the rebuild-
ing process that already is under
way in the industry, and this assis-
tance will provide additional
momentum for that effort," Mr.
Bronson said.
Florida's nearly $100 million
aquaculture industry includes tropi-
cal fish, clams, shrimp, food fish,
alligators, aquatic plants, live rock,
bait fish and other items. The hurri-
canes' storm surge damaged clam
and live rock operations while
inland growers sustained damages
to greenhouses, fish tanks and other


infrastructure, as well as products,
as a result of high winds and loss of
electricity.
To qualify for assistance under
the program, affected parties must
meet the following requirements:
Be an aquaculture facility in an
eligible county.
Possess an Aquaculture Certifi-
cate of Registration at the time that
disaster declarations were issued for
Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina or
Wilma.
Have not received, and will
not receive, assistance covered by


other disaster programs for the
same losses.
The program requires that the
assistance provided to an aquacul-
ture producer cannot exceed the
amount of losses suffered from the
storms, and that no individual oper-
ation can receive more than
$80,000.
. Eligible aquaculture operations
located in the 36 counties will
receive grant program application
packages beginning on August 18.
Damage claims will be accepted for
losses involving production


replacement, physical property
repair/replacement, clean-up costs
and other documented storm-
related expenses. The eligible
counties are: Bay, Brevard,
Broward, Calhoun, Charlotte, Col-
lier, Dixie, Escambia, Franklin,
Gadsden, Glades, Gulf, Hardee,
Hendry, Highlands, Holmes, Indi-
an River, Jackson, Jefferson, Lee,
Leon, Levy, Liberty, Martin, Miami-
Dade, Monroe, Okaloosa, Okee-
chobee, Palm Beach, Santa Rosa,
Sarasota, St. Lucie, Taylor, Wakul-
la, Walton and Washington.


EAA farmers reducing phosphorus in runoff


For the eleventh consecutive
year, water flowing out of the Ever-
glades Agricultural Area (EAA)
showed significant improvement
in phosphorus reductions, thanks
to a highly successful program of
Best Management Practices.
Results for the 2006 monitor-
ing period show that phosphorus
reductions in the 500,000-acre
farming region, south of Lake
Okeechobee were again better
than the amount required by law.
Phosphorus can harm the Ever-
glades ecosystem when stormwa-
ter runoff carries excess amounts
into the protected wetlands To


meet the requirements of Florida's
Everglades Forever Act, the
amount of phosphorus leaving the
EAA must be 25 percent less than
before phosphorus-reduction
efforts started. This has been
achieved-and surpassed-every
year since the law took effect more
than a decade ago. Data for the.
2006 annual monitoring period
show that a 44-percent phospho-
rus reduction was achieved this-
year. Annual reduction [,or the
previous ten years have ranged
from 34 to 73 percent.
"This track record is impres-
sive, especially considering the


increased phosphorus coming
from Lake Okeechobee in irriga-
tion water," said Kevin McCarty,
chairman of the South Florida
Water Management District Gov-
erning Board. "Florida's growers
continue to prove that agriculture
and the environment can thrive
side-by-side. Their achievements
are setting an example throughout
the state."
Phosphorus reductions are
largely achieved through Best
Management Practices, or BMPs.
BMPs are improved ways of farm-
ing, ranching, landscaping, irrigat-
ing and managing animal waste -


all with the goal of reducing envi-
ronmental harm. In the EAA, the
most commonly used BMPs are
improved fertilizer application,
improved stormwater pumping
practices and erosion controls to
prevent runoff of phosphorus-
laden soils.
When measured in actual
mass, 118 tons of phosphorus
were prevented this year from
entering the regional canal system,
which sends water into the Ever-
glades.
Water leaving the EAA receives
additional treatment in one of sev-
eral Stormwater Treatment Areas


(STAs) before entering the Ever-
glades. These constructed wet-
lands are filled with native plants
and use "green" technology to fur-
ther reduce phosphorus levels.
More than 41,000 acres of land
south of Lake Okeechobee have
been converted to STAs, and an
additional 18,000 acres will be
added by 2010. Expansion of the
STAs is part of the state's Acceler8
initiative to expedite critical
restoration projects, providing for
environmental benefits as soon as
possible. Project details are avail-
able at www.evergladesnow.org.

Kids belong in the kitchen, learning to cook


The kitchen is the perfect place
to be together with your children
This is where the meals are made
and, if your dining table is in the
same room, it's where they're
eaten too. Giving children the
opportunity to learn how to cook
and prepare meals has amazing
side effects. Believe it or not. you'll
even find your picky kids are more
willing to try something they've
made themselves.
When my son was 7 years old,
he still wouldn't eat salad. I had
my children rotating through the
kitchen every other day as my
kitchen helpers, and when it
became his day again, I decided it
was time for him to make the
salad. I showed him how to wash
the lettuce and spin it (we have a
salad spinner), I showed him how
to cut veggies (yes, they can do it
