Individual Voices: 8 16510 00022 1 Glades to get power park FP&L announces $3 billion investment This week Glades County com- missioners gave their stamp of approval for.the construction of a Florida F'Po\ er and Light plant to be built there, which promises to change the face of the community if it's constructed. The estimated $3 billion invest- ment is big news to the area. "This innovative coal plant will utilize abundant coal reserves, increase system reliability and help stabilize power prices in the future," said Armando Olivera, president of FPL. "It will be one of the cleanest coal plants in the country, providing power for more than 650,000 homes." The announcement of FPLs plans was made by Glades County Community Development Direc- tor Larry Hilton. The advanced technology coal power plant is intended to meet growth in electricity demand,and to address the need to diversify fuel sources. in .-adiltiron to the plant, a sub- station, is being planned for liHen'ri: County. -Accrding to information from FPL, the po'.e r plant, consisting of rtin ,',0-m,-gav. Lit units, would be clean, ellicit-nt reliable, and o:,l.-elfe,:ti e FPL plans to have one 980-MW unit in sei \ ic: in mid-2012 and the second unit on-line in mid-2013.

The school offers day and night class- es for GED studies and English for Speakers of Other Lan- guages, better known as ESOL. The day program is held, Monday through Friday, and the night program is offered Monday through Thursday. Classes are free. Dennis Bolan is the GED lab instructor. Students range in age from 'the late teens to 70. Mr. Bolan explained that for some people, the GED is a good alter- native to conventional educa- tion. "Some people were not able to finish high school due to rais- ing families, or needing a job," he said. "If that happened to you, why not come back to school here and get your GED now?" Most of the GED study is based in the computer lab, but books are also available for stu- dents who prefer them. A skills test is administered to new stu- dents to determine their aca- demic strengths and to focus on areas needing further study.

Having emergency plans in place at the onset of hurricane season is important, and resi- dents learned first-hand what these governmental agencies are doing to prepare. Booths set up by the Palm Beach Chapter By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat MOORE HAVEN The con- struction of the new correctional facility is well under way and the building should be open by Sept. 15,2007. Just a quick glance at the facili- ty shows the poured concrete walls already standing. The finished dual purpose project will be the new Glades County Sheriff's Office and jail and the Immigration and Cus- toms Enforcement detention cen- ter. How the idea for a dual pur- pose plant came to pass is well worth knowing. It involves a pri- vate not-for-profit corporation, the federal government and Glades County. The not-for-profit corporation is a private venture of Alvin Ward. He also happens to be a Glades of the Red Cross, Glades County Health Department, Lakeport and Ortona Community Associ- ations, and the Community Rebuilding Ecumenical Work- force (CREW) added to the information. The event was well-attend- ed, with many residents braving the heat. Barbeque grills were ignited, shade seekers picked out the good spots and people were getting acquainted. . The Moore Haven and the Palmdale Volunteer Fire Depart- rnents had emergency vehicles on display for the children. Moore Haven's ladder truck had its ladder extended upward with an American flag waving at the very top. Several students from the local Taekwondo .school demonstrated martial art skills, County commissioner and chair- J1 11;1, ',.1 man of the Glades Correctional *-. .. Development Corporation. .", However, the commissioner s . and chairman positions have no N connection to his not-for-profit corporation. This private venture includes members Juanita Shirley and Bobby Flanagan. It is important to note that Glades County does not own this operation. The not-for-profit cor- poration has contracted with the sheriff's office to run the facility, and it will be the new Glades County Sheriff's Office and jail. Once the $33 million project is paid for, it will revert back to the -. county. Robert DeMann is the site's project manager, and the chief deputy for corrections. When the site is completed, he will manage and operate the facility. See Facility-Page 12 Alvin Ward studies plans for the correctional facility currently in progress. technique and composure. Luis Maisonet, the Taekwondo instructor, supervised the young participants. Ramon Vasquez of Project Hope had the idea for the picnic and got the ball rolling.

Butch Jones provided all the charcoal for the grills and Pig In Or Pig Out donated the barbeque sauce. The city park in the historical section was a meaningful site for the picnic, consideringit is near. the impressive Mamie Langdale Memorial Bridge and the lovely Caloosahatchee River. Submitted to INI 500 Community picnic: An educational event INI Nena Bolan The West Glades School band performed several musical numbers at the community picnic. Mr. Dean Paul, the music teacher, directed flutes, trumpets and percussion among other instruments. The musicians included Miranda Mansel. Rebecca Fletcher, Kendall Weatherford and Merary Trevino. Picnic is fun and informative Corrections facility ahead of schedule Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, September 14, 2006 Beware of the storms in your head Births The storm is a-brewing and it is not in the Caribbean; it is in your head. That storm has caused our thoughts to blow wildly in every direction and they become a vicious cycle that plays havoc with our head, homes and our families. Have you ever lost your wallet and began searching for it in a frenzy? You know this feeling of not being in control and running around. The frenzy started before you lost your wallet. The frenzy is the reason you lost your wallet in the first place. That frenzy is the storm in your head. My goal is to teach you how to calm this storm before it destroys your life and home. I can give you all the tools to calm the storm on the outside but if you have not controlled your thoughts you are not going to feel the peace that comes with your routines. In fact, you nimay even sabotage that peace because it feels so strange. After all we have prided ourselves in being able to juggle many balls at one time. This is not virtue; it is a cover up so that no one will really know what is going on inside your head. You think this makes you look organ- ized when really it is only making you look like you have it all togeth- Flylady by Maria Cilley er so no one will question you. That storm that is going on in our brains is fueled with self- doubt, perfectionism, guilt, mar- tyrdom and shame. We are not prepared to deal with this storm so we ignore it. In fact it feels nor- mal to us. We have always been this way. We have pushed and pushed trying to do more and more and all we ever do is get fur- ther behind and racing to catch up. We have to stop the race and off of the track to be able to see what we are going to ourselves. Back to that wallet being lost; that frenzy we are in causes us to make many mistakes. It is only after we stop ourselves that we are able to find it right in front of our own eyes. We had been overlook- ing it because when that frenzy takes over our heads we lose our senses. We can't think, we don't see, we are not listening and we are on guard that no one knows this is happening to us. It is our perfectionism once again but this was happening before you lost the wallet. When I start feeling this way I have learned to recognize it pretty fast. I have my routines in place to prevent this from happening to me. Occasionally this feeling will come up. Now when I am feeling like I don't knowwhat to do next. I stop all that I am doing and spend 5 minutes making a plan. It is when I am not prepared that this feeling happens. I take those 5 short minutes and take my foot off my accelerator and quit fueling the storm. When you remove the fuel the storm or fire will go out. Hey, we can think straight instead of a vicious cycle of swirling thoughts. I want you to begin to experi- ence moments of calm so that when you are in a frenzy, you will. know how to get back to that moment and use it to quiet the raging winds and waves that are causing you to lose your mind. Be still and .the peace will come. Quiet your mind by sitting down. The more you getiin a hurry the worse the feeling is going to be. Slow down and set a priority to what has to be done. Do one thing at a time! Not 15 things. You can do this. We have to get back to why you are in this frenzy in the first place though. Establishing simple routines is going to help you be prepared for the storm when it does come. Find your QUIET place! Take a time out for you to calm yourself and focus on what needs to be done next, not the 15 things that are spinning in your brain. This is what you do with your quiet time; prioritize those 15 things on a piece of paper, and then you have a plan. Start with first things first and move down your list. The five minutes you spend in your quiet place will calm this storm and give you the tools to stop the wind from blow- ing to the land of CHAOS and Frenzy.

Eat more foods that are rich in calcium Jeffrey Edward Jacobs Jeffrey Edward Jacobs Jeffrey Kyle and Denise Marie Jacobs of Clewiston are proud to announce the birth of their first child; a son, Jeffrey Edward Jacobs. Jeffrey was born on Saturday, Submitted photo/Sarah Williams Aug. 5, 2006 at Gulf Coast Hospi- tal. He weighed 7 pounds, 1.9 ounces, and was 21.5 inches long at birth. His maternal grandparents are Edward and Kathy Williams. His paternal grandparents are Terry and the late Sandy Williams. The biggest factor in prevention of osteoporosis is, of course, a cal- cium-rich diet. Milk products, grains, fresh fruits and vegetables all contain some level of calcium with dairy being the kingpin of cal- cium. The issue of eating a diet rich in calcium is absorption and while supplements are helpful, food is best. But if you are looking at getting a supplement, the best supple- mental calcium to buy will have magnesium in it, with a 3-to- 1 ratio of calcium to magnesium for opti- mal absorption, But back to food. Oxalic acid, present in such healthy foods such as spinach and oatmeal, actually blocks calcium absorption. And even though these foods them- selves are rich in calcium, the avail- ability of that calcium isn't viable because of the presence of oxalic acid. That doesn't mean spinach and oatmeal should be stricken from our diets we just need to ,understand that the calcium we 'THINK we're getting Trorrm -these .sources are -sIerel) limited because of the oxalic acid (and we The Dinner > Diva by Leanne & *Ely shouldn't eat too much of them, either). Chocolate's also rather high in oxalic acid not that any- one may have been looking to chocolate to fulfill her calcium requirements! Another waywe lose out on cal- cium absorption is through con- sumption of carbonated bever- ages. Phosphorus, which is naturally present in any drink with carbonation, hinders absorption of calcium as well. It may not be nec- essary to completely abstain from all soda drinking, but it is a good idea to limit the amount consumed and certanli tonot drink it daily. , In the past fewyears, it has been brought to light that weight- bear- ing exercise helps with calcium absorption. For so long, so many women have relied heavily on aer- obics or walking to be their sole exercise, but that doesn't cut it as far as bone health is concerned. The very act of lifting weights is what strengthens the bones it isn't just exercise itself. Here are some fun ways to sneak calcium into your diet:. Sesame seeds have 60 mil- ligrams of calcium per ounce, and sunflower seeds have 33 mil- . ligrams. Top your salads liberally with these calcium-rich seeds. Powdered milk is full of calcium and a great way to get a creamy, soup without the fat. Use broth as the liquid base for the soup, and simply add as much powdered milk as you like to achieve creami- ness. Oranges, broccoli and tofu all have surprisingly higher levels of calcium and should be considered great snacks. Turnip greens, kale and collard greens arealso very. good in the calcium department.

To find out more, check out our Web site' Colleges, community unite to recruit teachers BOCA RATON Florida Atlantic University (FAU) College of Education Dean, Dr. Gregory F. Aloia met recently witlh local business and communist lead- ers at a Belle Glade Chiamber of Commerce meeting to invite them to sponsor students in Pro- ject Good FIT (First Introduction into Teaching). Project Good FIT is a new program the r college has developed to recruit more indi- viduals into teaching by immers- ing them into the profession early in their college career. Florida will need to hire 20,000 teachers each year for the next ten years to keep pace with ris- ing student enrollment, an aging teacher force, and to meet the state's constitutional require- ment to reduce class sizes. As many as 50 percent of freshmen education majors change to other fields within the first two years of college in part due to a lack of any meaningful contact with schools, teachers and classroom teaching prior to their student to-.acling experi- ence. Project Good FIT encour- ages entering college freshman who identify teaching as their major to stay with their chosen career choice by placing them into a paid professional ex.peci- ence one day per week as instructional assistants working with some of the best teachers in the county. Research has shown that most rural teachers were raised close to where they now teach. Successful "grow-your-own" teacher recruitment and reten- tion strategies have been those that offer incentives such as assistance with obtaining required education and training to local residents with potential to become teachers. Provost Beverly Robinson, Provost of Palm .Beach Community Col- lege's Belle Glade campus, will work closely with FAU's College of Education to ideniihi the first 25 teacher candidates for Project Good FIT in the Glades. PBCC students in Belle Glade who have expressed an int-erst in teaching will be matched up with mentor teachers in local schools. A business or individual can sponsor a Project Good FIT stu- dent for $6,100 a year. The spon- sorship will pay for the student's tuition and fees at the communi- ty college, allow the student to be paid as an instructional assis- tant, provide a stplend to lthe stu- dent's 'ni-nroring teacher and help (,of set the cost of the onsite piuir-ci coordinator. President of the Bank of Belle Glade, Mr. Stephen M. Prielozny, has signr-d up to be the first sponsor of a .Project Good FIT teacher candi- date. The statistics for turnover among new teachers is startling with some 20 percent choosing to leave the classroom within the first three years. When asked why they leave, new teuchcrs say that they feel overwhelmed I. tihe expectations and scope of the job, or that they did not get the support they needed to be successful in the classroom. Research shows that new teach- ers who participate in induction programs that involve mentor- ing are nearly twice as likely to stay in the profession as those who do not. Project Good FIT is a win-win for all involved parties. Children in the parucipattini schools will benefit through more- one on one and small group instruction provided by the Project Good FIT instructional assistants; stu- dents in the program will be able to "test-diive" the teaching profession to make sure it is a "good fit" while learning best baclhing practices, classroom manir)gernent and planning skills from seasoned educators; and through their sponsorship local business and community lead- ers can continue to be actively involved in helping Belle Glade schools.

For more information online, go to http://aiflorida.org/ Citizen information line activated In response to localized flooding from recent rainfall, the South Florida Water Management District has activated its Citizen Informa- tion Line (CIL) so that residents in the 16-county region can report floodirig and get information regarding water conditions. Hours of operation will be based on the volume of calls received and weather conditions. The Citizen Information Line telephone number is toll-free (877) 429-1294 or locally (239) 338-2929, Ext. 7780. Canals throughout the region have been lowered to accommo- date large amounts of stormwater runoff. District officials encourage residents to look to their local and county officials for specific instructions.in case of emergencies or flooding. Important note: The regional system of canals and structures is designed to help reduce flooding levels and help shorten the dura- tion of standing flood waters. Complete flood prevention is not pos- sible in South Florida, especially given the potential for excessive rainfall associated %\ ith isolated storms. ATTENTION KIRBY VACUUM OWNE..

IMaaByrd Member of: F~lorida Pre.ss The Blue Slough one of nature's treats By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to the Glades County Democrat Less than a week ago the north- west-southeast slough was carpet- ed from the edge of one bank down across the bottom, and up the other side with soft green vel- vet, fine, short blades of grass so new and tender and thick that even Peter Rabbit's tracks were clearly visible. But this morning, the velvet is all wet and leaning as the sheet flow from recent torrential rains has now arrived. The slough wan- ders across vast pastures to the north making its way southeasterly, then it follows the western edge of the big swamp turning a little more south through centurion oaks as it straightens itself heading due south across sprawling pastures south of here, eventually leading to the Big River. Hearing the raucous cry of Little Blue, and not seeing him at the edge of the big pond, it wasn't sur- prising to find him having a day- break breakfast in the slough. In fact, he and a friend were having a good time running up and down the shallow banks helping them- selves to whatever Little Blues like best for breakfast. Following the course of the swamp and on through the deep shade of the oaks, I knew where the water would pool and just maybe there'd still be some water- cress, and a water lily or two. Com- ing out of the shade and into the Submitted to INI/Barbara Oehloeck The blue slough extends for yards in beautiful patches. first rays of the sunrise streaming across the little bowl of clear water at the end of the cow corridor, it was instantly evident that the watercress and water lilies of a few weeks ago had found other dwelling places or maybe they'd gone into hiding. But. oh, what a surprise was left in their wake! A grand stand of pickerel weed grow-. ing so close they touched each other, their purply-blue spikes marching straight and tall follow- ing the slough like a wide blue rib- bon across the pasture to the old roadbed. Maybe pickerel doesn't know how to pick its season. It's not "supposed" to bloom in September. Following the blue ribbon until it joined the pasture pond w here the blue spread out in all directions and the water was becoming too deep for short boots, I walked backwards a few steps and found a half submerged log that served as an emptying station for two boots full of water. It was a little slick and more than a little wiggly but it pro- vided a good vantage point to sur- vey the kingdom of the pastures -now more marsh than pasture. Out in the open, as earl\ as it ,Was, night fog was still hugging the ground, so lo\ that the slender sil- \er-green blades of the tallest smut grass islands punched little-holes in the fog. They looked like huge por- cupines dotting the landscape and so many of lhem!

Standing on that old log, looking' and listening suddenly there was a rush of wings and the cacopho- nous cries of the Little Blues as they followed the blue ribbon of picker- el weed, digging and diving for little treats and treasures at the edges of the slough. There was not another sound, not even a little breeze to ruffle, the palm fronds, the big, knotty toad that kept hopping on the log then sliding back in the water did so silently, and a Great Blue Heron rose in soundless splendor from the nearest smut island gliding straight into the warming sun. As the sun's rays stretched out across the watery green flatlands, the sprawling blanket of fog quick- ly began burning away, becoming thinner and thinner, exposing the intensity of blue in the slough, and meandering patches of lobelia - millions of tiny blue faces bloom- ing profusely on short, thredd-like stems. Seems as though their cal- endar is off-base, too. Lobelia is usually born of spring, not autumn. And there, with insatiable patience, the pair of Little Blues continue stalking the blue slough, scrounging for fish and frogs, inver- tebrates and other tasty morsels. Blue on blue, all about, and that in these first waning days of Sep- tember. ,-.

With the new school year back in session, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is urging par- ents to utilize the resources found on the FDLE Sexual Offender Predator Web site as a xay to be vigilant regarding offend- ers residing near their homes or schools and near playgrounds, parks and after school programs that their children attend. "We have developed one of the most widely acclaimed and used sex offender registries in the coun- try," FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey said. "The whole purpose behind this database is to educate and inform the public. In this case, a better informed public can increase the level of safety for the children of our state." On the Florida Sexual Offend- er. Predator Web site, w\\xw.flsexof- fender.net, parents can utilize a variety of tools to determine who lives in their neighborhood or near their child's school. One tool is the Standard Search capability. By sim- ply putting in a name, city, county or zip code, users can view an offender's flier and learn where that person resides, his or her qual- ifying offense, court case number and other helpful information. Another useful tool for parents using the Web site is the Neighbor-, hood Search. This function allows users to enter any address in Flori- da and search the registry for any sex offender or predator with regis- tered addresses within a one to five mile radius of the location entered by the user. Users can also choose to map the addresses of the results of their Neighborhood Search by clicking the "Map It" link below the address of each registrant listing. More recently, the Web site made available vehicle and vessel infor- mation attached to registered sex offenders and predators. By click- ing on an offender's flier, parents can view' the tag number and vehi- cle description of cars or boats that are registered to a particular offender. Through the Public Safety Infor- mation Act of 1997, Florida became the first state to list sexual offenders and predators on the Internet and to make the same information available through a 24- hour day hotline. The FDLE Sex Offender/Predator Registry houses data on registered sex offenders and predators both on and off pro- bation, as well as those who have or have had a temporary or perma- nent residence in Florida at some time. Recently, Parents for Megan's Law, a national advocacy group, gave FDLE's Sex Offender'Predator Web site an A+ rating. Florida was the only state in the nation to receive this prestigious grade. In addition to offender information, the site also includes safety tips, fre- quently asked questions and pho- tos of absconders. Parents can learn more about FDLE's Sex Offender/Predator Web site, by visiting www fisexoffend- er.net or calling the toll-free hotline at 1-888-357-7332.

Parents are invited, and in fact, urged, to visit the school, see their own children's teachers, and dis- cuss their grades and interests as well as strategies for improving the student's progress reports. Parents, relatives and friends may go directly to the student's classroom or they may go by the principal's office for directions Students at West Glades School are learning in their early years the value of reading and books. West Glades 2006 Book Fair is now in progress and will continue through Sept. 20. The Book Fair has grown in popularity each year since the school's opening in 2004. The concept is simple and highly suc- cessful. Students buy books from the library. The monies collected from the sale of books goes directly into the library fund to, in turn, buy more books. Mrs. Stella Luckey, West Glades Librarian, said, "The Book Fair is the library's only fund rais- er. We get free books from the fair for the library, plus we get money to pay for special projects and activities. For instance, last year we received enough Book Fair funds to buy new reading chairs which we badly needed." And, there's yet another event that, in fact, is in progress right .now and will continue until Sep- tember 26. It's the annual Kathryn Beich Fund Raiser. Last year, the school sold $17,172.00 in goods and articles (from the catalogue) which resulted in $7,000 that was returned to the school. Some of the articles offered by Beich include hand toys, candy, maga- zines, small books, puzzles, games and all sorts of holiday items including decorations. These funds go directly to the classrooms of West Glades to pay for various field trips, special events and parties, as well as any other 'extras' that the students and teachers decide upon. The staff and teachers of the school have said this has been a most successful project in other years and they're looking forward to this one being even more suc- cessful providing funds for class- room activities that they other- wise would not have. The new Beich catalogue is now available at the school.

"Ridley and I are honored that the First Lady has selected 'Peter and the Starcatchers' for this fine program," said Barrn. "We've had a great time talking about this book with kids all over the country, and as the parent of a Florida public-school student, I'm thrilled that our book will be part of a reading initiative in my home state." Pearson added, "When we set out to answer my daughter's question of how Peter Pan first met Captain Hook, Dave and I wanted. to write a fun story that our kids could read. Now, as it turns out, we've reached thou- sands of kids, many of them new\ readers, which h is a thrill unlike any other. We hope that Florida's middle school students have a blast with this project, and we thank the First Lady for selecting our book."

Tips for keeping school lunches 'food safe' - WASHINGTON, D.C. From the morning off-to-school rush until the kids come home after the bell sounds, knowing how to keep food safe is an important first lesson to learn during the new school year. By heeding USDA's key back-to-school food safety messages, parents and kids -ill know how to a'%oid the risk of foodborne illness. "Parents and children need to know the dangers of foodborne illness," said USDA Under Secre- tary for Food Safety, Dr. Richard Raymond. "Packing lunches to take to school and after school snacking are vulnerable to the top two causes of foodborne ill- ness: not keeping perishable food cold and not cooking or re- heating food to a high enough temperature to destroy any germs that may be present." Dr.. Raymond, a family physi- cian, noted that the Danger Zone - temperatures between 40F and 140TF creates an environ- ment in which harmful bacteria can multiply rapidly. Food should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours. Raymond also noted that children are more likely than healthy adults to be victims of foodborne illness. Food safety and "bag" lunches To help parents and children combat foodborne illness, USDA is providing the following tips to ensure the safety of "bag" lunch- es: Washing hands is one of the most common ways to stop bac- teria from spreading. The first step to good food safety is to wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds before lunches are prepared or, eaten. It is important to wash cut- ting boards, dishes, utensils, and countertops with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item. Perishable foods like prepackaged lunch combina- tions that include luncheon meats with crackers, cheese and condiments should be kept cold by using freezer gel packs or a frozen juice carton. Insulated, soft-sided lunch boxes or bags are best for keeping food cold, but metal or plastic lunch boxes and paper bags can also be used. If using paper lunch bags, create layers by double bagging to help insulate the food. , For foods such as chili, soups and stew, use an insulated container. Parents should fill the container with boiling water, let stand for a few minutes, empty, and then put in the piping hot food. Keep the container closed until lunchtime so the food remains hot. Pack only the amount of perishable food that will be eaten at lunch. That way, there won't be a problem about keep- ing leftovers safe. Preparing the food the night before and storing it in the refrigerator and packing the lunch in the morning can help keep the food cold longer. Cross-contamination can occur by reusing packaging materials such as paper or plas- tic bags, food wraps and alu- minum foil. At lunchtime, dis-, card all used food packaging and paper bags; they might contami- nate other food and cause food- borne illness. Also, discard per- ishable leftovers unless they can be safely chilled immediately after lunch and upon returning home. Food safety and after school snacking Older children may be home alone for an hour or two after school, these tips will help make sure after school snacks and meals are safe from foodborne bacteria: If children are old enough to use a microwave oven to reheat foods, teach them how to use a food thermometer to check for safety. When reheating leftovers, heat to 1650F. Foods and liquids are heat- ed unevenly in the microwave oven, so stir or rotate food mid- way through cooking. If you don't, then you'll have cold spots where harmful bacteria can sur- vive. Be sure to cover food with a lid or plastic wrap when reheat- ing in a microwave oven. Wrap loosely to let steam escape. The moist heat will help heat the. food evenly and destroy harmful bacteria. To prevent burns, carefully remove food from the microwave oven. Do not use plastic contain- ers such"a margarine tubs or other one-time use containers in the microwave. They can warp or melt, possibly causing harm- ful chemicals to get in the food. When reheating ready-to- eat foods, such as hot dogs, heat to 165F or until steaming. Be sure to pierce hot dogs with a fork before putting them into the microwave oven to keep them from exploding. Pizza should never be eaten if it has been sitting out longer than two hours. This is true whether pizza is topped with meat or vegetables. The rule of thumb for pizza and other per- ishable food is to discard it if it has been left in the Danger Zone for more than two hours. Never taste a food to deter- mine whether it is safe. If you are not sure how long perishable food has been left out, throw it away. When it doubt, throw it out! For questions regarding food safety, check out www.fsis.usda.gov.

Several served in the military. During the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion's (FWC) law enforcement training, one injured his neck, which resulted in surgery, another one's brother died in a traffic crash. -Still, the 46 men and women who graduated last week from FWC's Training Academy pulled together. The class is the largest ever at the academy and had the most people complete the rigor- ous 29-week training, seeing their families only on weekends and holidays. Only one of the original 47 did notcomplete the course. "I applaud these men and women for their dedication to pro- tecting Florida's natural resources for their long-term well-being and enforcing the laws of the state," Gov. Jeb Bush said. '"We appreci- ate their service to the state." FWC Commission. Chairman Rodney Barreto also praised the. new officers. "Graduation from the FWC's law enforcement academy is an accomplishment reserved for an elite few individuals who have the stamina, courage and character to, measure up to the highest stan- dards of this profession," Chair- man Barreto said. FWC's law enforcement com- mander, Col. Julie Jones, com- mended the men and women who graduated today, saying they excelled while in training. "People will know when ihe\ cone into contact with these men and %\omen they are dealing %%ith professionals," said Col. Jones The graduates learned natural resource laws and other state laws they may enforce while on patrol, forensic evidence techniques, self- defense tactics proper weapon practices, boating safety, how to operate boats and patrol vehicles and wrestle alligators. "They learned how to help people in times of need or when an emergency arises, be it on the water or on land," Col. Jones said. "These graduates are prepared. to enter the workforce as top law enforcement officers, protecting people and natural resources," Col. Jones said. "This group came into the academy as individuals, ,but Rre\, together as a group." Charlie Bishop. an FWC lieu- tenant at hie niiramring academy, agrees. "This is probably the best group we've had," he said. The officers will go to their assigned areas of the state in about two weeks. The top academic graduate, Robert "Bob" O'Horo, practiced. law in Atlanta for more than seven years before deciding something better was out there other than corporate mergers and acquisi- tions. "I made a lot of money but did- n't like my job," he said. "I'd rather be happi."- 'What brought him to FWC.was Your #1 Choice For Repairs and Re-Roofs Steel Buildings & Components * Structural products Standing seam roof systems * R-panels, U-panels, A-panels Full line of accessories toil ALL AMERICAN fto CONSTRUCTION 1-866-279-5035 fax: 904-493-2842 Licensed & Insured - iNlit-wu,'vali i-inney Brian Cobb (center) and James "Van" Barrow (right) discuss paperwork with Officer Jeff Babauta, an instructor with FWC's Law Enforcement Training Academy. The recruits gradu- ated from the academy September 8. his love of hunting and fishing and helping sale natural resources for future generations, something his fellow graduates agree upon. Originally from Pennsylvania, he moved to Florida in 200-1. Mr. O'Horo is assigned to the South- west Region and will patrol Char- lotte County. Another graduate, Doyle Cook, who was reared in Crawfordville hunting and fishing, watched FW'C officers (and their predeces- sors) educate people about the importance of following the laws regulating saltwater fishing and natural resources.- He received the coveted achievement i.most-likely to suc- ceed) award, named in memory of Officer Roy R. Burnsed Jr., who died in 2001 in the line of duty. ' After high school, Mr. Cook joined the Marines, serving eight years active duty and as a reservist. He graduated from Florida State University with a criminology degree, where during his last semester, completed an intern- ship with FWC, which sealed his desire to become an FWC officer. S"When I have children," the married officer said, "I want to make sure the resources have not been depleted so my children can enjoy it the same way I have." Mr. Cook is assigned to the Spe- cial Enforcement Area in South' Florida and will patrol Collier County. Dara Demarest, one of three women in the academy, first became a teacher who coached softball and soccer (both of which she played in high school) and was employed by the City of Vero Beach in the recreation depart- ment. She is originally from Holly- wood in Broward County. She is assigned to the South Region and will patrol Palm Beach County. "The academy was definitely strenuous physically," she said. Nathaniel "Briai" .Christy, learned on the academy's third day how quickly the recruits had become a family. His only sibling, a brother, Paul Chrish, 33, died in a traffic crash in Hampt'omnille, N.C. "I was pulled from mi classes and told," he said. "The\ sad take- as much time as you need They asked all the time how my family and I %were doing." The former AiI Foice staff ser- geant, also a military survival instructor, took the first test of the acaderm with his fellow recruits the da) after returning from his brother's funeral. I He scored in the high 90s, thanks lo those v\ho helped him %\ith the studies he missed. He is assigned to the Special.Enforce- ment Area and will patrol Monroe County. Another officer, Daniel Cantu, has a degree in wildlife manage- ment from Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas. He is from Houston, and is assigned to the Southwest Region, based out of Lee County. "I love to hunt and fish and wanted a job dealing with natural resources," he said. "I've always been attracted to law enforce- ment." Adam "Beau" Small, a former Marine artiiler\ officer who served in Ku aiil, is from Jacksonville. He has a master's degree in criminok- ogy and'is assigned to, the South- west Region, where he will patrol Lee County. "I've been planning on a law enforcement career and it was kind of a no-brainer to become an FWC officer. I was sitting in the desert, hot as can be, and I said, "My next job will be on the water,'" the long- time saltwater fisherman said. "I wanted to be close to home, and I love Florida." But, he nearly didn't make it through the academy. During the defensive tactics training portion, he herniated a disk in his neck and then it ruptured. Following correc- tive surgery, he continued the classroom. work, but could not participate in physical ac tiities for a month. "I bounced back pretty quickly and am 100 percent now,' Mr Small said.

The new officer will be assigned to the Northeast Region and patrol Osceola County. Even though his father and uncle atterripted to prepare him for the academy, he was sur- prised. "it \ as whole lot more than I thought," he said. The new officer said he never thought of being anything else. "It's all I ever knew growing up," he said.

Thursday, September 14, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee TI Irudav.oebr 4 06Sevn h omuiissot fLkeOecoe Public meetings on Lake Okeechobee scheduled JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), Jacksonville District, will host a series of public meetings to present proposed revisions to the Lake Okeechobee and Everglades Agricultural Area Water Control Plan as supported in the recently released draft Supplemental Envi- ronmental Impact Statement (SEIS). Details of the meetings are as follows: Thursday, Sept. 14, 6:30 p.m. at Lee County Commission Cham- bers, 2120-Main Street, Ft. Myers Monday, Sept. 18, 6:30 p.m. at John Boy Auditorium, 1200. WC Owen Avenue, Clewiston Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Presen- tations begin at 7 p.m. followed by a public comment period. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss the draft SEIS and to present the proposed revisions to the existing Lake Okeechobee and Everglades Agricultural Area Water Control Plan. The proposed revi- sions include a new regulation schedule to replace the existing Water Supply and Environment (WSE) regulation schedule and associated operational guidance. The operational guidance and regulation schedule were revised as a result of findings of the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule Study (LORSS) and a SEIS. The proposed new regulation schedule and operational guid- ance was analyzed in a draft SEIS released for public review on August 18. If the SEIS leads to a Record of Decision, then a request for approval of the new water con- trol plan for Lake Okeechobee and Everglades Agricultural Area will be sent to the COE's South Atlantic Division Office. Operational guidance con- tained within the existing approved Water Control Plan, such as Ever- glades Agricultural Area canal lev- els, will not be discussed at these public meetings, and will remain in effect and be incorporated into the new Water Control Plan. A 45-day public comment peri- od on the proposed revisions will take place between August 18 and October 2, 2006. At that time, the Corps will consider public input received at the above meetings as well as written feedback received by the closing date of the com- ment period, and will prepare a new control plan for Lake Okee- chobee and Everglades Agricultur- al Area. More detailed information on the proposed revisions to the Water Control Plan can be found on the water management page on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Jacksonville District web site at http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/h2 o/index.htm.

News from the.UF/ College of Veterinary Medicine Signs and symptoms -The acute form of heartwater is the most commonly observed presentation of the disease. A sud- den high fever (1070 F) is followed by loss of appetite, depression, and respiratory problems. Animals may initially have an increased res- piratory rate, followed within a few days by severe respiratory dis- tress. Nervous disorders often fol- low the respiratory signs and can include a variety of abnormal behaviors such as excessive chew- ing movements, incoordination, head tilting upward, overly rigid posture, and walking with a high- stepping gait. Some animals may undergo convulsions or be unable to rise. These nervous signs usual- ly last for no more than 24 to 48 hours, followed by the animal's death. In some cases, the nervous signs may not be noticed prior to death. Causes and relevance to Florida Heartwater is an infectious, non-contagious, tick-borne dis- ease of domestic and wild rumi- nants, including cattle, sheep, goats, antelope, and buffalo. The disease is caused by an intracellu- lar rickettsial parasite, Cowdria ruminantium, and is transmitted by a number of species of ticks in the genus Amblyomma. Heartwa- ter is usually an acute disease and is commonly fatal within week of onset of clinical signs. The disease is widespread in most of Africa and present on several islands in the West Indies. With increased trade and movement of animals in today's global market, heartwater presents a significant threat to wildlife and the domestic livestock industry in the United States. USDA estimates that a heartwa- ter outbreak in the United States might cost the livestock industry $762 million in losses annually. The species of licks that transmit Heartwater in the Caribbean islands can be carried to Florida with migratory birds. Florida is also a state that imports many exotic species of reptiles from Africa. While this trade is now reg- ulated, history has shown that potentially infected ticks have been inadvertently imported by this route; fortunately without heartwater ensuing. TreatmentN/Vaccine availability/prevention The prevention of heartwater occurring in the USA relies upon keeping 'both potentially infected animals and ticks from entering. Strict import controls have been in place for several years for livestock originating from infected coun- Micco Landing Management Area opens An opening celebration for the Micco Landing Management Area is scheduled to take place on Satur- day, Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. until noon.

They appear to be going .for about $1,000 per pup. How do you feel about this new breed? What do you think about the price? Thanks, Betty in Wellington. Answer: Hey there Betty! Yes, I have heard about the Labradoo- owned by the South Florida Water Management District and is part of the Kissimmee River Public Use Area. Micco Landing is open year- round allowing access to the Kissimmee River Floodplain for a: variety of public uses including bicycling, boating, canoeing and dle. It is a mix between the two breeds mentioned above, and I understand they are lovely and adorable. H6w do I feel about this new breed? Well, I really don't quite consider it a breed yet. In my opin- ion it is still a mix. A new breed has to be proven several genera- tions over. The Labradoodle may actually be proven enough for some standards, but I can't see how $1000 per pup is warranted.

More recently, import bans have been placed on certain tor- toise species exported from Africa because they commonly carry potentially infected ticks. Florida's subtropical climate is suitable for such ticks to become established. There are no commercially available vaccines for heartwater. Florida ranchers can minimize the risk of any infected ticks becoming established in Florida by regularly treating their cattle, for ticks with acaricides.

"My husband Don and I started this migratory bird count effort in Glades County after becoming very active conservationists in the St. Petersburg area," said Lorraine Margeson, "to focus state and national attention on the wonders of the pristine nature found around the Fisheating Creek Wildlife Man- agement Area and surrounding locales. Since we are from the incredibly 'built-out' Pinellas Coun- ty, we can only hope the Glades County citizens realize what they still have, what we all have lost in this coastal building frenzy. After this count, we'd love to see more focus on eco-tourism rather than concrete development in this area, as well highlighting the importance of educating the next generation to conserve and appreciate what they have in Glades County. There are outreach programs through INi/Nena uolan Dennis Bolan and, Marbelis Tovar are just two of the instruc- tors at the Clewiston Adult and Community School in Clewis- ton.

From a scientist's point of view, Dr. Gabe Vargo contends that "bird- ing" is more than just the pleasure of observing their beauty and counting numbers. His interest in raptors was kindled "when I was an undergrad at the University of Miami and became an apprentice falconer. Years later, and many vol- unteer hours of caring for non- releasable Birds of Prey at a local park, I decided to meld my interest in birds with my 25 years of experi- ence studying red tides or Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). There is a multitude of phycotoxins, many are neurotoxins, produced by the marine and fresh water phyto- planktons that comprise HABs. These toxins are ingested by organ- isms lower in the food web than raptors which are top predators and they, in turn, accumulate increased body burdens of toxin that eventually leads to physiologi- cal impacts and death." "We are now seeing an increase in the number of phytoplankton species that produce these toxins and, now that we have finally start- ed to investigate the cause of death in birds of all types, an increase in the number of deaths may be relat- ed to these toxins. Since many birds, including raptors, migrate long distances, they may be exposed to a variety of different phycotoxins, so knowledge of the migratory activity of a bird species is an important part of understand- ing how it may have accumulated its body burden of toxins."

Environmental Protections: State-o'f-the-Art En iron- rnental Emission Controls: , Lo" NOx burners, overfire air technology reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Wet flue gas'desulfurization (scrubber) to remove sulfur dioxide. Fabric filters (baghouses) or dry electrostatic precipitators (ESs) to remo\ e particulates. "What can we do with this information? Well, many algal blooms are related to increased cultural eutrophicalion increasing nutrient additions to our lakes, rivers, ba) and coastal waters. Reductions in eutrophication are possible which should reduce the frequency and intensity of HABs and therefore, we hope, decrease the impact on our migratory birds; particularly the top predators which are highly susceptible due to their position in the food web. As we learned with the movement of DDT back in the 50's and 60's, if its found in top predators it is also found in humans, so we would be wise to use our raptors again as a 'miner's canary' of what is occur- ring in our environment." Other scientists participating in the event include: Dr. Paul Gray, Audubon of Florida, Lake Okee- chobee Science, Lorida; Mary L. McAuliffe, Natural Resource Man- ager, WCI Communities; As the Mountain/Margeson/ Vargo team start out at first light by kayak, several teams will be travel- ing by car across the County from various points. Dave Goodwin, SW; Florida Coordinator for the Florida Breeding Bird Atlas, expert "birder" Erik Haney and Wes Biggs, State Coordinator for the Florida Breed- ing Bird Atlas, start at Rainey Slough to U.S. 27 then north on State Road 78 through Brighton Indian Reser- vation. Dr. Sandy Vargo, Florida Institute Of Oceanography in St. Petersburg, and Don Margeson will travel south along S.R. 78 to Harney Pond and Nicodemus Slough to the Moore Haven locks then west. The Highlands County Audubon team will call owls and rails around Burnt Bridge and Adult and Community School. Don Crebs is the lab instructor there. Jim Way is the principal of both the Clewiston, and LaBelle Adult and Community Schools. He has been involved full time with adult education for the past 14 years, and trusts the experience of his class- room instructors. Mr. Way is also pleased with the quality of the up to date computer software used in the labs. "We found that most of the people who pass the GED test are those who have taken the time to attend our labs," he said. The Clewiston Adult and Com- munity School is located at 475 E. Osceola in Clewiston. The LaBelle Adult and Community School is located at 1100 Forestry-Division Drive off Cowboy Way in the town of LaBelle. Classes for GED and ESOL are free.

"As Florida's newest Audubon Chapter" said Margaret England, "we are excited to be able to net- work with volunteers, scientists, and educators by participating in the first ever Glades/ Fisheating Creek Migratory Bird Count. We hope that the count will raise awareness of the diversity of birds in Glades County and encour- age interest in protecting their habi- tat (or generations to come , The group is accepting mem- bership forms, available at www.orgsites.com/fVhgaudubon. At the end of a long day and many adventures, all teams will gather at the Sabal Palm Camp- ground staging area for data collec- tion and celebration of the Inaguarual Glades County North American Migratory bird count. Lorraine Margeson emphasized that "this event marks the impor- tance of 'citizen science' and the collection of important environ- mental data to preserve the her- itage of natural beauty in Glades, Hendry and Highlands County." If you are traveling in Glades County on Saturday and see lots of people with binoculars gazing intently into the scrub and the sky, you too like Dr. Vargo, may have your interest kindled as a volunteer to help sustain the survival of one of Nature's most splendid and important species for the livelihood of a healthy human environment. Cat owners often battle litter problems "Feline urethral obstruction is a fairly common and dangerous condition that occurs almost exclusively in male cats," says Dr. John August, a veterinarian in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. "It is a condition that can become devastating with- in a matter of hours and must be treated as an emergency." This condition is often initially mistaken for constipation. Affect- ed cats will visit the litter box fre- quently, but will produce little or no urine in spite of their straining. Vet. August says symptoms may also include sudden onset of depression, lethargy, vomiting, pain when picked up, and eventu- ally collapse and/or death. If the blockage is not removed, the cat may sustain a ruptured bladder, go into cardiac arrest or die within 12 to 24 hours. "Lirethral obstruction results from the passage of debris, usual- ly cells, blood clots and crystals, formed in the bladder," said Vet August. "\\ while feniale cats pro- duce the same rnalteial in their urine, the anatomy of the male cat is more susceptible-i to the creation of blockage." Since urethral o'jbruclion can rapidly become fatal, Vet August suggests some preventive meas- .ures that m.w help spare your cat from de\ eloping this condition. Begin by feeding your cat a high quality diet that has reduced levels of magnesium and phos- phorus. These foods promote more acidic urine, which impedes the creation and accumulation of urine debris. Encouraging water intake also helps and can be accomplished by keeping your cat's water fresh, providing a pet- sized watering fountain or flavor- ing the water with chicken broth ice cubes. If you do notice your cat is hav- ing trouble urinating, taking your animal to a veterinarian quickly is crucial, August stresses. Your vet- erinarian will first try to relieve the pressure and remove the obstruc- tion by inserting a urethral catheter, which requires anesthe- sia. This will allow the bladder, including any debris, to empty out. The patient may need to remain hospitalized for a few days to be sure that any complications caused by,the blockage have sub- sided and until the cat passes clear urine. This will also allow the vet- erinarian to confirm the stability of the animal's kidneys, potassium levels, hydration and other critical variabless Vet August adds that some- times an ultrasiunid is done to ensure there are no stones in the bladder andto rule out cancer or other possible causes.

Tiger tailback Jamal Hubert breaks free at the start of his 79 yard TD jaunt against the Gators. Clewiston pins first loss on Glades Day By Jeff Barwick Clewiston used powet ful first half rushing by senior tailback Jamal Hubert and a tenacious second half defense to shut do"rin archrival Glades Day 28-14 in a wet contest Friday night at Cane Field. The Class 2A Tigers entered the game ranked fourth in the state and improved their record to 3-0. The Class 1A Gators were shown as second in the state rankings prioi to the' game and their record now stands at 2-1. Both teams entered the game with high emotions. The Gators had upset Cle%%islon in two of the last three match- ups. Added was the fact that Gator Coach Pete \\alker quar-. terbacked the 1982 Tigers to a state championship and also coached the Tigers in 2002. Last- ly,, Gator tailback Nate Brinrklte was a Tiger through last season but elected to transfer to Glades Day for his senior ear. The Gators took the opening kickoff and quarterback Josh McGregor quickly hit wingback Mike Fernandez with a short pass, Fernandez fumbled and Tiger Omar Smith fell on the ball at the Tiger 48. On the first Tiger snap, Hubert took a handoff and slith- ered his way through the Gators and scored en a 52 )ard scoring, jaunt. New Tiger place kicker Will Davis, a transfer from LaBelle who had to sit out the first two games as a condition of eligibility, added the extra point. Glades Day came back with Brinkley picking up 22 yards on three carries but the drive stopped when a deep McGregor pass was swiped by Omar Smith at the Tiger 12. The Tiger offerise was three and out and the Gators started near fnidfield and drove to the Tiger 13 where they were finally held on downs. Unable to move the ball again, Clewiston punted from deep in their own territory and the next Gator drive began at the Tiger 29. Brinkley had 3 carries on the drive and covered the last 11 yards on the first play of the second quarter. A bad snap foiled the extra point kick attempt. Glades Day scored again with eight minutes remaining in the half when, on a fourth and long, McGregor found wideout Andrew Joseph all alone in the end zone for a 31 yard touch- down. The Gators elected to go for two points and Brinkley slammed it in on a 3 yard run. The Tigers took the ball after the kickoff return at their 12 yard line. Hubert picked up 3, fol- lowed by Dartis Hughes adding 6 yards rushing. Then, quarterback Jared Combass handed off to Hubert going off left tackle. Hubert stepped past the defen- sive front wall and streaked down the north sideline for an electrifying 79 yard touchdown run. Davis split the upright to knot the game at 14 points each and close out the first half scor- ing. After intermission, a different Tiger defense emerged. Tiger coaches made no significant adjustments to the game plan but the players just picked it up a level or two. Foi the Gators, their offensive fireworks for the night were over The Tigers held the Gators to no second half first downs, only 16 yards rushing on nine tries, and no pass comple- tions. The defense also turned the table on the matter of field position. After the Tiger offense and defense played most of the first half with their backs against the wall, the Gators no%\ found themselves on the receiving end of poor field position. The Tigers scored a safety in the third period when a punt snap sailed over Joseph's head, as he stood deep in the end zone to punt. Early in the final period, Hubert recovered a mishandled Tiger punt at the Glades Day 31. The Tigers dr:e to the 19 where Davis showed off his leg strength by splitting the uprights for a 35 yard field goal. After forcing a Glades Day punt on the following drive, the Combass hooked up with wideout John Melton for a 54 yard score. Melton was run- ning a w ell covered post pattern but Combass put the ball in the onl\ place it could be caught and Mellon broke free and raced to paydirt. Davis was on target again and the Tigers finally had a comfortable 26-14 lead. The night's scoring closed out with' 4:43 remaining when Gator punter Joseph stepped out of the end zone rather than attempt a punt, giving the Tigers another safety. Hubert entered the game with a season average of almost 10 yards per carry and had 185 ,ards pushing on 22 attempts on the night. He is the second leading rush- er in Southwest Florida with 534 yards on 58 tries and his pushing average of 9.2 yards per carr. in the best in the area. For the second straight week, the Tiger defense played without a single penalty. Theii perlorm- ance against the Gators was trul) a team effort. Linebackers Carl Whitehead, Collin Ricketts and David Pope led the rushing defense. The defensive front, anchored by nose tackle Edwin Alvarez, defensive end Delvin Hughes, and tackle Johnny Jones, was also solid. Tiger defensive backs Sim Putnam, Omar Smith, and John Melton had blanket coverage against the Gator passing attack other than the 31 yard touchdown, play. Put- nam had a pass interception. Smith had a fumble recovery and an interception while Melton had two fumble recoveries.

Thursday, September 14, 2006 Connections and disconnects; not only for telephones The Reverend Samuel S. Thomas, Ph. D. Saint Martin's Church, Cle\ istI-',' One of the stories that has ;stuck with me is about a man -who called the telephone infor- .mation office to ask for the num- 'ber for "Theater Arts" in a large .city. The operator told him she ,had nb listing for "Theodore 'Arts." The man said "No, No, -Theater Arts!" The operator .repeated there was no such list- :ng. The man countered, "No! -,No! Theater Arts!" "THEATER :A R T S" he spelled to the opera- tor. She answered back, "Sir, that *is not how you spell ''Theodore'." No wonder he ,hung up! There is a great tragedy 'and lots of frustration in hot being heard and understood. It has to do with well-meaning people who .:. -. don't see why others can't see it their way; and '.:'" "' those who say what is obvi- ous to them - and are not - heard. I attended a Rev. Samuel church meet- ing recently S. Thomas that was to dis- cuss the revitalization of a small congregation. One of the long- standing members listened to the plans for changing things and asked where the imi':,y for the plans was going to come from. The facilitator heard her question as resistance to change and commented. I entered the discussion that I sensed was becoming a disconnect (yes, similar to a telephone discon- nect). I told the facilitator that I saw no connection between the two points of view. On the one hand there was a question about where funds were coming from and on the other a perceived resistance to change; they were really unrelat- ed. It turned out afterward that the lady asking about the money was really reconciled to change, but wanted to make sure it was based in reality that would make it practical. The man sitting next to her, another long-standing member told me, "They don't hear us." I agreed Not being heard leads to frus- tration and can lead to anger. The problem was not unknown in Biblical times. It seems that the Lord was talking about "the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod" one day and His follow- ers decided among themselves it was "it was because we have no bread (Mark 8:14ff)." Jesus heard them and asked them "Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? (vs 18)" and then goes on to explain that there was no shortage of bread after the feeding of the 5,000 and there was plenty left over of the material-edible kind of bread but He was talking about something else. His frustration is still appar- ent when He asked them finally "Do you still not understand? (vs.21)" Maybe one of the greatest gifts we can give a per- son is to hear them, really hear them. I've been caught up listen- ing to television, will hear a voice in the background, catch a few words and then have to make a decision. I can say, "Yeah, uh- huh" and hope what might have been the called-for answer will have been covered over and my inattention will not be caught. I can also ask for the comment to be repeated, changing my atten- tion from the TV set to the speak- er and say "What did you say? I didn't hear you." That may be a bit more embarrassing at the moment; it's admitting that I did- n't pay attention but we human beings are built to give the riajority of our attention to one thing at a time It's saving. "You didn't have my attention that moment, something else was more important." It's also say- ing, "You can have my attention if you will tell me what it is and let me listen." I'm saying "I was disconnected but I want to con- nect" and then stop to pay atten- tion to what was really being said. The Lord expressed His frustration with not being heard too; it took a few years for His message to get through to His disciples but He stayed with it. I found it can take a lot of explanations and many trials to connect with some people but it can really be worth it. I guess there are those who believe that about me, too. It may take lots of trials, but I'll be there if they want to work at it with me. In remembrance of September 11 By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church, Clewiston i I still believe in baseball, mom, .and apple pie. Something still hap- -pens to me when I see people ,waving flags and hear patriotic .songs being sung. Call me opti- mistic, but I still believe in one nation under God. In God I still trust. We are p ivileqed to live in a '-country that 1has ar amazing nms- `sage for the- wi'Id'I That message ,is freedom. \VW h,i\e a freedom .that enable'; us to Iio\ e ,cnlfiderce ,and know peace even when the ,rest of the \\urlid rihi be in tur- .moil.

Our nation was attacked, build- ings were destroyed, and lives Aere lost. Our whole nation was' dealt ai blow that took the wind .,out of our sails. Instead of falliri, ,apart. we as a nation became unit- ,ed. The de',astti'.in -..td by the Four terroji:t-.iitr'..lk-I jet crash- es of Sept. 11, united us as families >and friends and acquaintances .across this great country of ours.

Lit us not forget to 1ilt up our prayers to the night fortress that is our God. And let us remember. Let us remember the stockbro- kers and window-washers work- ing together so valiantly and helped each other to escape. Let us remember the firefighters who rushed upstairs as e ern one else was racing down. Let us remem- ber ,the police officers who per- formed their duties until the tow- ers came crashing down on top of them. Let us remember the thou- sands of workers, men and women, young and old, married' and single, American and interna- honal, who could not escape the buildings. Let us remember the citizens who rushed to the scene and did whatever the\ could to help. We remember and give thanks for their unselfish commitment. Let us remember the people who poured into blood banks to make donations. Let us remember the millions of Americans who gave so generous to funds designed to help survivors and their fami- lies. And let us remember those \t ho are still giving and sacrificing lor us and others like us. Remembrance begins with deep, personal identification. It begins with remen-ibeing the affliction of our brothels and sis- ters, and making their pain our own. It continues 'ith seeking healing together Thanks be to God who provides this healing, has blessed us in this great nation, and gives us a hope and a future even in the midstol ten orism.

By Bob Wattendorf, biologist, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission It's a real balancing act to try to decide whether we need more rules or less rules, stricter rules or more lenient rules to deliver what Florida anglers want here in the best recreation- al fishery in the world. Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Division of Freshwater Fisheries manage- ment's overall mission is "to nranoidce, enhance and preserve Florida's freshwater aqui:ic life for public benefit." Our day to- day objective is "to provide opti- mum-suistaiind use" of these resources. The hal.-inrir act results from "'itL.iiilulii" '. iil alirng dif- ferent things to dilferi-w people, so we try to find out what the local public wants from the resource and provide it to them in appropriate locations. For instance, in some places people may want a trophy bass fishery - - even if all the fish have to be released. In others, they may be more interested in a bream and catfish'fishery that provides a lot of fish to take home for dinner. In making these decisions, we must ensure we manage the resource, not only for current demands, but always with an eye to the future, so the resource can be "sustained" over the long haul. "Use" recognizes other val- ues than just harvest. For instance, the cat.cli au'. release ethic and the impor- tance of aquatic habitats to land owners, boaters and others have to be part of the picture. So, our challenge is to balance ilhe future of the resource based on the best available science, with anglers and others enjoying the resource, while at the same time, balancing the ,11 of opti- mizing public use in local areas and keeping .r- gul ii. is. simple. One case in point is "spider rigs." These are boats with mul- tiple fishing rods, sometimes more than 20 per angler, that often target black crappie (speckled perch) or other schooling fish. Similarly, some shoreline anglers like to put out multiple poles, sit back and wait for the action to unfold. Although these anglers may increase their odds, they are still restricted to the same bag limits as an angler with a single rod or pole. Many issues come to mind here, but our first concern is the resource. Our biologists exam- ine the population, size and growth rates of fish and evaluate their habitat and available for- age to get a good idea of the i,lllthi of a fishery (for instance, the crappie fishery in Lake Kissimmee). They also examine the use of the fishery via creels (surveys of anglers to determine how many fish they are catching and how many anglers are using the resource how often). From that we determine if the population is being over-fished or remaining stable. Remember, native freshwater fish species have relatively short life spans, and natural mortality often exceeds angling mortality, so allowing some harvest is often good for the resource and does not Adversely affect its sustain- ability. If harvest needs to be regulated, this is normally han- dled by creel limits, while size limits can help ensure fish have an opportunity to spawn at least once before they are caught, or help create higher-quality fish- eries, with more, large, fish. The second issue is public use and social perception. In the case of spider rigs, as long as creel limits prevent these anglers from taking more fish than other anglers and still pro- tects the fishery, should the state regulate how an angle takes; them? This is a quandary fishery biologists and adminisiratours frequently deal with and applies QUALITY SERVICE Ovue 20 yns Elctittal E p\ nfit e S 'Lur l IIcall, \ ned and operated d Elctri(il Service C(omp-an\ -Main Elec: ical Panel Repair or Replacemeni L.sndicape LIilrghi and qurui pIo 'c (lion Cll for A Re mdl Ou,: or Flin-t riien i-- rol ."icc-e .':i I- & l' :'kI.: '.lp ' 9-5 call na.anw-.41 01 ff.4lp1.4 13 24 E,,ua.w-jrecy Service Licensed & Insured iE L 'lII n' ''.

As recreational fishing tech- nology continues to improve and some anglers revert back to what they consider to be more purist techniques, such as fly fishing from a kayak, this ques- tion is bound to come up more frequently.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, September 14, 2006 Healthful chocolate 'sweetens' appeal By Katrina Elsken With studies of the healthful benefits of chocolate in the news, it was inevitable. Candy companies have now marked chocolate as "health food." New varieties of "heart healthy" chocolate are compet- ing with "organic" chocolate in the nutritional supplement aisles of the supermarket. The basis for claims that chocolate is good for you come from the fact that chocolate con- tains antioxidants beneficial compounds which are often found in fruits and vegetables. Chocolate comes from a plant in the form of Cocoa beans. Anti-oxidants are sub- stances that help the body rid itself of free radicals. Free radi- cals are created by the body's natural processes they are leftover bits of cells. If the body cannot rid itself of these "left- overs," they may contribute to health problems such as heart disease and cancer. Researchers in the United States have found that like many other plants, the Cocoa bean contains high levels of anti-oxidants. Researchers in the Japan also found Cocoa may help lower the LDL or "bad" choles- terol levels. While all candy made with cocoa has the anti-oxidant fla- vanols, traditional candy bars also have a lot of ingredients that are not healthy lots of refined sugar, fats (even trans- fats) and preservatives. The new "health" choco- lates are advertised as lower in calories and fats and high in fla- vanols. CocoaVia is one of the better A Healthier Life with Katrina Elsken known new "healthy" choco- lates. A "ser ing size" is one small bar, a little less than one ounce. That's about half the size of a traditional candy bar. One bar of CocoaVia has 1)0t calories with G grams fat CocoaVia has no liansfat, no cholesterol and no sodium. It has 2 grams dietary .fiber, 1 gram protein and 9 only grams sugar. Like most of the other prod- ucts marketed as "liealthiir" chocolate, CocoaVia is daik chocolate. Milk chocolate is higher in fat and lower in con- centrations of flavanols than dark chocolate. Some critics claim the newv "healtri chocolate products have less to do with nutrition science and more to do with marketing. So, shop Nsely, read tihed labels and remember that mod- eration is important. You carn, gain weight on lhealthri" chocolate just as easily\ as on regular candy hars. Before making an\ chadvge to your diet or exercise plan, consult your doctor. This is. especially important if you aie on any prescription medica- lions Some drugs interact badly with foods that would otherwise be considered "healthy." ------------------------ -- - I Save money on your favorite grocery items.

DEA issues policy on pain treatment WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Adminis- tration (DEA) recently unveiled a proposed rule thatwill make it easi- er for patients with chronic pain or other chronic conditions, to avoid multiple trips to a physician. It will allow a physician to prescribe up to a 90-day supply of Schedule II con- trolled substances during a single office visit, where medically appro- priate. The Notice of Proposed Rule- making is accompanied by a policy slit rrient, "Dispensing Controlled Substances for the Treatment of Pain," which provides information' requested by medical professionals rv"gardirin1 DEA's position on this important issue. Also new today, DEA is launch- ing a new page on its website iw %xw.dea.gov.) called "Cases Against Doctors" Everyone will be' able to see Ior themselves the crim- in.il acts committed by those few physicians '\ho are subject to pros- ecution or administrative action each year DEA's guiding pi inciple is to pre- vent the abuse and diversion of pre- sciiptioln controlled substances, which have become increasingly. popular and deadly, without impacting the ability of patients \ ith legihinate need to have full access to pain relief prescribed by their physician. DEA remains comrn- mitted to the September 2001 Bal. anced Policy of promoting pain reliel and preenting abuse of pain Iedicatllio s. '\\e listened to the comments ot more than 600 physicians, phar- rilacisti, nurses., patients, and advo- 'caites tor pain uteatmerint, and stud- ied their concerns carefully. The issuance o- the poli('% statement is [he result of that collaboration. The police. statement reiterates the DEA's comrnmitmenert to sticking the propel balance to ensure that peo- ple .ho rineed pain relief get it, and thO''se hor abuse it, don't," said DEA Adi nirisuator, Karen P. Tandy. The ne-\ policy statement out- lines the lonrgstanding legal require- ments on dispensing controlled substances for the treatment of pain it addresses the requirement that controlled substances be pre- sc bed onl\ for a legitimate med- i,,al purpose, examines the issues suriouniding the treatment of pain, and elaborates on DEA's policy for taking appropriate legal action against those very few physicians \\ho illegally prescribe controlled substances. "We believe that the statement and proposed rule will help the medical professional ensure that only patients who need medication for pain relief get it. The statement reflects an awareness of patients' needs as well as the importance of presenting any illegal diversion of prescription drugs," added Admin- istrator Tandy. The overwhelming majority of medical professionals who provid- ed written input expressed concern about the statutory provision that restricts doctors from refilling schedule II prescriptions. In response, DEA has developed a proposed regulation that clarifies the statute and expressly allows for the issuance of multiple Schedule 11 prescriptions in appropriate cir- cumstances. This proposed rule, which is being published for public comment as required by law, is intended to make sure patients get the pain relief they need, and that doctors have the latitude to pre- scribe in a manner consistent with their sound medical judgment, while enabling DEA to fulfill its legal obligation to prevent drug abuse and diversion. Under the proposed rule, physi- cians, as they have always done, must determine whether a patient has a legitimate medical need for the prescribed substance, and the physician must be acting in the usual course of professional prac- tice. DEA's proposed regulation %would then permit the physician to issue multiple Schedule II prescrip- tions, during a single office visit, allowing patients to receive a total of up to a 90-day supply of con- trolled substances according to the fill date that the doctor gives the pharmacist. A sixty-day public comment period on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking began on Sept. 6. the date ol publication. To aid doctors in their responsi- bility to present the diversion and abuse of controlled substances, DEA also has updated its Practition- er's Manual, which has been post- ed on \lww.dea.gov. Prescription drug abuse is a growing epidemic and requires everyone's vigilance. Statistics show that: e Nearly I in 10 high school sen- iors admits to abusing powerful prescription painkillers. Today, more new drug users have begun abusing pain relievers (2.4 million) than marijuana (2.1 million) or cocaine (1.0 million). 6 million Americans are cur- rently abusing controlled sub- stance prescription drugs- that is more than the number abusing cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants, combined. Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that opioid prescription painkillers now cause more drug overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin combined Admissions to treatment foi prescription opiates swelled by a third in just tvo years (from 46,972 in 2002 to 63.243 in 2004).

READING A NEWSPAPER HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AROUND YOU. In interviews, Walkers shared half a century By Twila Valentine, Edited by MaryAnn Morris From 1977 until her death in 2003, Independent Newspapers of Florida was privileged to have on staff a superb writer and historian, Twila Valentine. Mrs. Valentine wrote much about the history of the people and places around Lake Okee- chobee and about the lake itself. Together with Okee- chobee's Betty Williamson, President of the Okeechobee Historical Society, she co- authored a book, now in its sec- ond printing, "Strolling down Country Roads in Okeechobee." The following article is an interview with Thelma Holmes Walker, who was 87years old in 1989 when Twila interviewed her. She recalled many glimpses and anecdotes from more than eight decades in Okeechobee. Thelma Walker shared her life with John Hardy Walker, Jr. for nearly 53 years before his death in 1972. Those years in Okeechobee took the couple from Okeechobee's most primi- tive days right into modern times." "My brother and I had a cold drink stand here in Okeechobee. We sold it, but we owned it for a good long time. It was right on the main street and we sold fruit, Recollections A series about Florida's pioneers and history *'j' ... ,J i.rj - cigars and cigarettes. Father Walker, my husband's daddy and old man Frank Pearce came into the stand together and I sold the a cantaloupe and made a mistake on the change," she said laughing. She said that one of her regu- lar customers was the then-sher- iff Pogy Bill Collins. "He was sheriff and he was a pretty rough character when he first started being sheriff. But he befriended a lot of people. There was a lady named 'Lamb' and he boarded at her place and he used to eat there. He had one of her boys that he was especially fond of. I can't remember which one it was, but it was one of the younger ones. He thought so much of him and did so much for him. He helped her (Mrs. Lamb) out a lot too, when he stayed there." "He married a mighty sweet girl, Etta Dupree. After'he got to "i, , Courtesy photo/www.vanlandinghom.com John Hardy Walker Sr., Thelma Holmes Walker's father in law was one of the first owners of the fledgling Okeechobee Call, the first newspaper published in "Tantie". be a lawman he was really fine. He wasn't cruel or nothing like that, but when he spoke, he meant it," she said. On July 5, 1939, Thelma was married to John Hardy Walker, Jr. She was 17 years old. She recalled her rather exasperating wedding day. "I was married at Ft. Drum. Judge (G.C.) Durrance made me so mad. I was going to get mar- ried at my uncle's house (in Okeechobee) where I was stay- ing. It had stormed and there was water all the way to Ft. Drum. We were supposed to be married at eight o'clock. But we had to go to Ft. Drum because my daddy hadn't signed the papers. It was eleven o'clock before we got married," she said. Through the years, her hus- band worked at several ranches. One of them was owned by a New York native, Lytle Hull and was located at Dad's Island between Ft. Drum and Basinger. She said he also worked for Acree, and that ranch was locat- ed just north of town and today is the Daniels' Ranch. "She said that in the early years, the road between Okee- chobee City and Ft. Drum was just a wagon road and it seemed to her that it was usually covered with water, making travel quite difficult." The couple became parents of four children. The oldest, John Hansen was born in 1920 and was delivered by Dr. Anna Darrow. Daughters Althea (Bar- nett) and Doretha (Yoemans) followed. Her youngest was another son, Jerry. The three younger children reside in Okee- chobee, her eldest son died fol- lowing surgery. She recalled that her love of camping, developed as a young- ster, was nourished by her hus- band. Some of their trips were made quite spontaneously. "Hardy was the tax assessor for four years. And he'd come from the office and he'd say, 'Let's go roost some turkeys.' So, we'd go out to where Uncle Teat's ranch was and I'd put on my overalls and we'd roost turkeys at Shin Hammock. One afternoon, we was out camping and he went off to roost turkeys, but, they came in all around us. We used to camp a lot. I sure did love it, too," she said. She said that when Hardy stepped out of the tax assessor's office, Buddy LaMartin ran for the office, won the election and held the spot for many years. "He lived with us when he was a little boy. He lived with my step-mother. When he was a man, he came and stayed with us. We carried him to Rolling College and that's where he got his education," she said. She said the men hunted mainly for deer and turkeys. "When we needed some- thing, my husband would go out and kill it. He and Olan Pearce and John Norman would go out and kill a turkey for Thanksgiv- ing. We didn't know what it was to go out and buy a turkey. We'd just have a wild one," she said.

Registration is now under way for the event, Which will begin just south of Kissim- mee and end at the new Silver Spurs Arena in Kenansville. In 1995 to celebrate 150 years of Florida statehood a group of 600 cattlemen, histori- ans, horse lovers and hearty adventurers drove 1,000 head of native Cracker Cattle across the state. The group also included wagon drivers, walkers, artists and -local, state and national media. Over the last four centuries, cattle production has been one of Florida's most influential industries. In the 1995 Cattle Drive, participants used the sesquicentennial celebration to educate this state's citizens and people around the globe to the fact thai the first American cow- boys were Floridians the cat- tle business in the United States began right here in Florida. "Even though Florida has been a major force in the cattle business for hundreds of years, very few of our own citizens are aware of this rich heritage," said Florida Agriculture Commission- er Charles H. Bronson, who is also a rancher. To salute the importance of Florida's "cow culture," organiz- ers will once again be driving cattle, riding the trail, sleeping on the ground and living the life of our ancestors for a few days. The Seminole Tribe of Florida has provided about 400 head of cattle, and every participant who wishes to will be able to spend some time as a "cowhunter" helping to drive the cattle. Camps will be primitive and dress should be laLe-1800s i there will be no T-shirts, tennis shoes or ball caps allowed). There will be historic encamp- ments each night along the trail depicting some important era in Florida's history (Timucuan, Spanish Colonial, Civil War, Seminole, etc.), making the event even a ride through Flori- da's past. On Dec. 9, participants and the public will continue the cele- bration at trails end with an old fashioned "frolic," which will include authors, singers, poets, storytellers, historians, re-enac- tors and an art auction featuring CAAF (Cowboy Artists Associa- tion, of Florida) There \\ill also be several :prominent authors of Floridiana and Florida history on hand for those who wish to learn more about the rich her- itage of the Sunshine State. Dancers, singers and histori- ans from the Seminole Tribe of Florida \\ill be there to make the event more colorful and to remind folks that the Seminoles were an important factor in this state's development as a cattle power, and remain so to this day.
