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. See Main Page 9 ..77 vil 1t ,~f.i. ... 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.

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.

Returning life to Main Street Colleagues remember commissioner --.Now Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, August 17, 2006 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.

Painted in 1832, the painting was recently acquired by the Seminole Tribe of Florida from a private collector It will be on display through November Micanopy was chief of the Semi- noles during the Second Seminole War, from 1835-1842. At first friend- ly and helpful to the encroaching set- tlers, he later moved to aggressively defend his territory, which had become increasingly occupied by farmers and settlers from the north. After seven bloody years of war. Micanopy and many of his felklowv Seminoles were captured and sent to Oklahoma, where he died in Janu- ary, 1949.

Take 1-75 to e-xt 49., then dnve north 16 miles '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. Flylady - bylMaria Cilley 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. Obituaries Bonita G. Farner Bonita G.

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 Local Links A directory of websites for local government, teams, organiza- tions & columnists Community Links Individual Voices Save money on your favorite grocery items.

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.

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.

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- 1% Several pages are devoted to 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, your companions." These are just fractions of this 10-chapter how-to book on sur- viving and enjoying the wilds of: Florida. Reid Tillery has done an extraordinary job of research which is evident on every page. The illustrations are in color] except for diagrams, maps etc. Under Priorities of Wilderness Survival, he writes: "You don't have to be in a full-blown survival! situation to benefit from this. information.

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.

SUNRISE APPLIANCE New In Box or Scratch & Dent Full Factory Warranty Save More in Moore Haven We Also Carry Used Appliances With Warranty 401 VS Hw 27, Moore Haven' 8639462666 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.

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 a lot of things, Glades County is on the verge of having more," adding that "planning is under way to bring an antiques mall, coffee shop, and other retail establishments to the historic district." "This will be the start of what we hope is a revitalized riverfront with new sidewalks, better streets, new stores,, maybe a hotel and new restaurants a well statewide Project WILD coordina- tor. "After every lesson, we hear, 'Can we do this again? Can we do this again?"' In the past 23 years, Project WILD facilitators have trained almost 60,000 Florida educators, our state's portion of the one mil- lion teachers trained nationally. Project WILD capitalizes on the natural interest that children and adults have in wildlife by pro- viding hands-on activities that enhance student learning in all subject and skill areas. With les- sons like "Oh, Deer!" and "Turtle as new condos or apartments and office space," she said.

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 Clewiston News.Glenda Wilson Hendry Regional Medical Center operating room staff are: (from left to right) Ramon Soto, Sharon Murphy, Barbara Louise, Annabelle Rodriguez, Mary Roberts and Dr. Jesse Eisenman. intestine) from the lowest part, the patient has unexplained changes in rectum, all the way to the lower bowel habits.

Start school day off right with good breakfast As South Florida students head back to school, parents have spent a lot of time anid money getting them reiadc. with school clothes and school supplies But some ma\ forget an impor- tant part of school preparation starts with nutrition, Many studie-; over the years have shown that children who eat breark- fastdob.ttierinschool Eating a good breaiksi f ~i' e e a child the fuel his or her body needs to stay alert andlearn. The link between eating breakfast and being ready to learn is so docu- mented that Florida schools offer a 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 'all socioeconomic levels are at risk for poor nutrition. n% ,l-n\ children ,: onsum: en.ii'2h calories, but have diers high in [at -sugar and -odium, -which put them at risk for becoming overweight and for developing chronic diseases as adults," the report states.

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- related problems during any given school day. A hungry child may s.llcr Irom stomach pain, headache, muscle fatigue, nernouiiles ., confusion and sleepiness. Children w ho skp hr,'alkdast hiiae trouble concentrating and staying on task. 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" the child eaxs. Some good choices for breakfast mayinclude: Whole grain cereal with fruit and milk; .. Eggs. toast .iCe ;and milkk" . Bagel uith cream cheese, fruit andmilk; 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) i tlCir hti"rt mial of'the day. Some children have specific nutritional needs or allergies. Con- sult with v our child's pediatrician about the best breakfast for you child.

Some drugs interact badly with foods that would other- wise be considered "healthy." If 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.

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).

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.

OMGF1086 -S 1 I: Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, August 17,2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, August 17, 2006 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.

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.

AUjuat1. 206Srngtecm utiss thoLae keho e 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 (Willihm B.I Hooker s co%%s ranged over present-day.

Highlands Hammock, now a state park. .as originally known as Hooker Ham- mock and he had cattle pens at a crossing on Fisheating Creek near pre.sent-da)y Venus. Cattle -%ere shipped from Hooker's Pens at a point on the north side of the lower Manatee River known today as Hooker's Point. The other, more 'famous Hooker's Pi Dl t which projects into Tampa Bay was also a shipping point for his cattle, aswell as one of his properties "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- erful ranching group. For genera- I Save money on your favorite grocery items.

INI/Florida Archives 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.

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.

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. time and crowded around Mark la'.- ishing more understanding 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 your head on your desk I wet my pants once roo " "Greater love'has no one than this, that he 1a% down his life for his. 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.

L- ------ ---------- --- --- -- ----- 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.

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.
