School serves



Glades County


By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
GLADES COUNTY -- The
Clewiston Adult and Community
School provides services for resi-
dents of Glades County. 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.

about hurricane preparedness
and recovery, Lake Okee-

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,

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.

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-

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.
Are you ready to FLY with a
plan for preparedness in any
storm of life?

your CHAOS; check out her Web

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

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. '

Web site offers new community services


By Katrina Elsken
Executive editor INI IFloridar
This newspaper's Web site,
w\vw.newszap corn recently
added, new features to bettert
serve our coinimunity.
An interactive comrymuity
calendar for each community
served by Inde-inldeiit Newlspl-
pers Florida will le'lp comuniini-
ty members keep track' of
upcoming events. A photo site
lets' community men ibers share
photos with the newspaper .ind
with each other; Comirunifit
directories provide links to other
community web sites and blogs.
They are nal free services to
the community.
New calendars
The newszap.com communi-


ty cal, ndars can serve as a ci.n
tral planning tool for the whole.
communil\ Post club meetings,
school events, lestivals, chaitl)
dinritEs and uthlie local C'Ventrs.
As more people use the calen-
dar, it will dlso help organiza-
tions plan their schedules, and
perhaps avoid o'. er-rchedulirin- a
particular day.
We hope that going online i',-
"check thi- calendar" \\ill
become patL of the routine of
every club and organization,
helping them cholos, event
dates that don't c wonflllt wlth Iloo
many other similar events This
will should benefit the organiza-
tions hosting the events, helping
to ensure a better turnout, as
well as the people who wish, to
attend the events, but would
have to choose just one if they
were all on the same day


And, the calendar is a good
way to let other community
members know about your
events.
Individuals and groups can
now post calendar items directly
to the website for immediate ilis-
stn'iiidalion, e'en lo r events
months in advance. Thei can
include information on address-
es, prices, acliviti'rs aind con-
tacts. Go to \tx\\l (.n:\ szap cofnI,

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 on Pro-
ject Good FIT or sponsoring a
student, contact Mr. David
Rutherford, Director of Develop-
ment for the College of Educa-
tion, at (561) 297-1023 or by
email, druthe7@fau.edu.

Candidates' forum scheduled
The Eighth Quadrennial Farm Credit/Ag Institute Candidates
Forum has been scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 28, beginning at
11:30 a.m. at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
Tickets are $75 with corporate tables and sponsorships available.
The primary winners from the gubernatorial and Florida cabinet
races will be invited to present their plans as they relate to Florida's
second largest industry. The event will be held concurrently with the
Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association's Florida Nurs-
ery & Allied Trade Show: For more information contact Farm Cred-
it's Ron O'Connor at (863) 682-4117 ext. 403 or by e-mail at Market-
ing@FarmCreditCFL.com.
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.

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

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! Off in the dis-
tance, toward the %westerly part of
the pasture, shagg heads of cab-

bage palms looked as if they were
simply great green balls of spiky
fronds since the fog entirely cov-
ered their trunks.
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.

Key events to be held at school School News
JR-SR High needs'


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Special to
Glades County Democrat
MUSE Tonight, Thursday,
Sept. 14, is a special night at West
Glades School:
Doors will be open from 5 until
7 p.m. to celebrate their 2006
Open House.
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 Pearson. The contest,
Florida's Journey into Never-
land, is sponsored by Just Read,
Florida! The contest is the final
component of Florida's year-
long reading initiative Shoot for
the Stars: A Record-Breaking
Year for Middle Schools.
"The Reading in the Arts con-
test is a-wonderful opportunity
for middle school students to get
wrapped up in a great book and
showcase their creativity and
imagination," said Go ernor
Bush. "I encourage all of Flori-
da's families with middle school-
ers to encourage their children
to participate in this contest."
The contest is open to all stu-
dents in sixth to eighth grades in
public, private and home
schools. Three winners will be
chosen based on the following


categories:
Sixth Grade: Illustration

"Through the Reading in the
Arts contest, both students and
teachers are able to demonstrate
the ability of the arts to be inte-.
grated into other subjects and
enhance learning experiences,"
said First Lady Columba Bush.
"This year's book, 'Peter and the
Starcatchers,' lakes students on


a new journey with some famil-
iar, beloved characters, as well
as a cast of new heroes and vil-
lains and provides a wonderful
starting point for students to add
their own artistic interpretations
to a classic story."
In addition to contest rules

postmarked to designated entry
submission locations no later
than 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday,
November 10,2006.
"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."

nor Bush's statewide reading ini-
tiative to achieve the goal of

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!

safety, check out

FWC grads work through the academy


TALLAHASSEE One is an
attorney; another, a former school
teacher-coach; a third, a brand-
new father; and yet another knew
since he was just a tyke what
career path he was going to take.
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."-

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."

geant, also a military survival
instructor, took the first test of the
acaderm with his fellow recruits

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.

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

UF responds to 'Heartwater' animal disease -
Nw fromtesUFt....


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

Question: Dear Doc Savvy, I
have recently become completely
enamored by the new breed
Labradoodle. I think it is a combi-
nation between a Labrador and a
Poodle. 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. I

tries. 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.

Commission (www.floridaconser-
vation.org/)."
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."

"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."

"we are excited to be able to net-
work with volunteers, scientists,
and educators by participating in
the first ever Glades/

raise awareness of the diversity of
birds in Glades County and encour-

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.

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.

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.
Five years ako this past Sept.
I1, our freedom as rocked One,
'day e ker\11 ,iiri. w as status quo.
,The next day eveivIlthine Inal had

Vof A.mierncaii stre i Lilli .jid stability,
,were taken out by terrorist attack.
,Our lives were forever changed.
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.


We realized anew the priceless
freedoms that we had enjioed
and perhaps .
had even taken
for granted. We
ii-lhi d anew -
the precious- ..
ness of family A .
and friends: .
have realized.
that there are

there are those in the military,

our Ireedomns and our \ er'y lives.
As we once more pss the

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.

Bronson appointed to

renewable energy committee


TALLA-HASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bronson
has been a.:poo:led to the Steerin ,
Committee of"25x'25" a biparti-.
san national or.anizzau.in commit-
ted to seeing that the nation's agri-
cultural industry produces 25
percent of the country's energy
needs b\ the lyeaj 2'25
"I am honored to be selected to
help guide this important initiative,
which is designed to reduce our
nation's dependency on foreign oil
and at the same time enable Flori-
da growers and their counterparts
across the country to produce fuel
crops which will provide another
source of potential income to keep
our farms and ranches in busi-
ness," Comiiiiissiuiier Bronson
said.
The "25x'25" initiative has been
embraced by numerous governors


and state legislatures across the
country, as well as by more than
200 businesses and organizations
throughout the United States. It is
committed to seeing that farmers,
ranchers, forest landowners and
related stakeholders work to
advance new energy solutions
from the nation's working lands.
Commissioner Bronson last week
hosted Florida's first "Farm to Fuel"
Summit, a meeting attended by
more than 300 agricultural produc-
ers, representatives of national
companies involved in producing
energy from farm products, state
and federal officials, and scientists
to begin implementing the initiative
in Florida. The announcement of
Bronson's appointment to the
Steering Committee of the national
organization was made at last
week's summit in Orlando.

Freshwater Fishing Regulations: What's best for your area?


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

to many other techniques, such
as use of electronic fish finders,
elevated platforms on boats for
spotting fish, use of live versus
artificial bait, underwater cam-
eras for spotting fish, fish scents,
flashing lights and more.
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. So, as we weigh the
options, we are interested in
knowing what's best for your
area.
The FWC wants to hear from
our stakeholders, and one way
you can provide feedback is to
participate in online surveys.

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

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."

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).

responsibility to combat this

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,

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

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.

Cracker Cowhunters hit the trail again


The Florida Agricultural
Museum will present the "Great
Florida Cattle Drive of Ought 6"
on Dec: 5-9.. 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. This part of the celebration
will become an annual gather-
ing to have fun and preserve the
traditions of Florida's cow cul-
ture. The group is also consider-
ing presenting the first Florida
Working Cow Dog Champi-
onship. Proceeds will be used to
benefit the Florida Agricultural
Museum in Flagler County.
Organizers of the drive are
anxious to give thanks to The
Seminole Tribe of Florida, the
Florida Cracker Cattle Associa-
tion, the Florida Agricultural
Museum, Seminole Feeds of
Ocala, and the Florida Depart-
ment of Agriculture arid Con-
sumer Services for sponsorships
and support.
Anyone % ishing to participate
or learn more about the event
