911 project to record info


Company to identify
correct address for
emergency system

ByNena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
GLADES COUNTY- There is a
small office at the Glades County
courthouse where Terri Helfinstine
coordinates the new enhanced
911 system. Recently, surveys
were hand delivered to residents


and businesses to collect vital and
accurate information. Prompt
return of your completed survey to
Ms. Heflinstine's office will ensure
that emergency vehicles and heli-
copters make it to your home as
fast as possible.
Ms. Heflinstine has an impor-
tant task.
Many residents have incorrect
or confusing addresses, and this
can make it neajl\ impossible for
the lire department or ambulance
to reach them in lime Sometimes


an emergency vehicle has to stop
and ask for directions enroute to a
home or business, losing critical
minutes that can sometimes make
the difference between saving
someone, or losing them.'
Numerous streets throughout
the county have two names or
the odd and even street numbers
are switched. This can delay

The county will now be using
an enhanced 911 stern and w'ork
now is focused on itr,'inq out all


the issues so that emergency serv-
ices arrive as quickly as possible
after calls.
This state-of-the-art 911 system
is provided by GeoComm, a com-
pany from St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The company will develop a high-
ly sophisticated emergency map-
ping system for the county and an
emergency dispatch system. They
xwill idrntify addresse-s rinot in com-
pli ance %ith ihe aiji:essirng grid,
and identify addresses where there
are duplicate numbers and dupli-


cate names.
GeoComm will cover all of
Glades County, including the
incorporated town of Moore
Haven and the Brighton Indian
Reservation. The entire 911 map-
ping will be done with the Global
Positioning Satellite, which is bet-
ter known as GPS.
Residents are also asked to

By Nena Bolan

MOORE HAVEN This
year, Moore Haven Elementary
School received its first major
remodeling since the school
was built in 1967. Roughly 30
classrooms were remodeled
this summer. Older carpet,
walls and lighting fixtures were
removed and new ones
installed. Classrooms have nice
carpeting, while the hallways
and main office have bright tile


floors.
Jim Brickle, the principal,
makes an enthused tour guide.
He points out the entrance and
main office flooring which rep-
resents school colors of blue
and yellow. Each grade level's
hallway is given a different
color so visitors can easily find
their way around.
Classrooms and hallways
have been cleverly decorated

high school juniors were
recently honored by the Glades
County Sheriff's Office for
exemplary work. Their
achievement in last year's

Drug Awareness FCAT Award.
The recipients of the award
are: Fabiola Rico, Crystal Yates

Last Monday, the high

Project promises to
change the face of
Glades County

Barbara Oehlbeck
Glades County Democrat
GLADES COUNTY Sitting
at his desk in a sunlit corner
office of the Glades County
Courthouse, Glades County
Manager Wendell Taylor could-
n't stop smiling.
"This is a memorable day in
Glades County," he said.
The Glades County Board of
County Commissioners had
just concluded its regular
meeting on Sept. 12. Those in
attendance had heard the
rumors but that was all.
Shock waves reverberated


said she will deposit her
money in the bank and save it
for tuition at Edison Communi-
ty College, or Palm Beach
Community College She has
plans to studd language trans-
lation.
Ms. Yates was the highest
scoring student in mathemat-
ics at her. school. She was
grateful to accept her award of
$750. Ms. Yates said she will
also set aside the money for
college and plans to attend the
University of Miami, or the Uni-
versity of Florida. Miss Yates
was at a health camp this sum-
mer, which motivated her to
become a physicians' assistant
or a registered nurse.
Ms. Whiddon had the high-
est score for reading at her
school. She received $750 for
this achievement, and
obtained an additional $250
for having the most improve-
ment in reading. Miss Whid-

and beyond when Larry
Hilton, Deputy County Manag-
er for Community Develop-
ment, made the announce-
ment that FP&L wants to build
a new power plant in Glades
County on a 5,000 acre site
about five miles northwest of
Moore Haven.
This upbeat news has
encouraged the hopes of resi-
dents and officials. The possi-
bility of Glades County receiv-
ing an annual tax benefit,
averaging $21 million, could
enhance the livelihood of the
entire rural community. .

don was pleased to receive her
award, which was also a nice
surprise for her father Sher-
iff Stuart Whiddon.
Ms. Whiddon was. able to
keep the good news to herself
until shortly before the award
presentation. She will use
some award money for auto-
mobile payments, and some
will be deposited in the bank
for college tuition. She intends
to study hypnosis therapy.
The Drug Awareness FCAT
Award is one project paid for
by funds that have been set
aside by the sheriff's office for
rewarding Glades County stu-
dents.
Last yeai,$ 15,000 worth of
scholarship money was
awarded to young people for
their winning essays. The
Glades County Sheriff's Office
Scholarships come from the
department's forfeiture funds.

Family meals make family strength


Family Day a Day to Eat Din-
ner With Your Children' is a
national effort to promote family
togetherness at mealtime. On
Monday, Sept. 25, the Florida
Department of Health encour-
age all parents to recognize the
important role a family dinner
can play.
Studies show the more often
a child eats with the family, the
less likely that child is to some-
day smoke, drink, or use illegal
drugs. Teens who have regular
family meals are less likely to get
into fights, get suspended from
school, have sex, or have suici-
dal thoughts. Instead, children
who have frequent family meals


are more likely to do better in
school, develop positive eating
habits, and adopt healthy behav-
ior. Family meals promote bond-
ing and family interaction. They
can help children improve their
self-esteem and develop social
skills that can last a lifetime.
Family mealtime can be used as
an opportunity for parents and
children to discover and carry
out important aspects of a
healthy lifestyle. Examples
include:
Sharing a meal nourishes the
body and the soul. Family meal-
time provides the setting for talk'
and teaching. Eating flavorful,
healthy foods is one of life's


greatest pleasures, especially
when shared with the family.
The benefits of eating together
make family mealtime a tradi-
tion worth pursuing.
Creating meals together
offers the perfect opportunity for
spending quality time with your
loved ones. You can "slice and
dice" while sharing stories and
winding down for the day, using
this important time to communi-
cate and understand each other
better. With minimal fuss or pre-
planning, everyone from dad
and mom to smaller kids and
teens can join in and "serve up"
some family-centered fun while
preparing and serving meals


safely.
. Family traditions have been
created around food and meals,
but why wait for a holiday or
special event to celebrate a meal
together? Eating dinner together
on a regular basis doesn't have
to be a hassle; instead it can
offer many healthy benefits to
your family.
Children look to those
around them as role models,
especially their family members.
If they grow up in an active fami-
ly that eats healthy; they are
more likely to be active them-
selves. Daily activity is important
for a healthy family, and it does-
n't have to be hard.

Producers reminded of aid program


, GAINESVILLE Florida
Farm Bureau is reminding agri-
cultural producers of the Sept.
29, deadline to apply for 2005
hurricane disaster programs.
"Producers should contact
their local FSA offices as soon as
possible to enroll in these pro-
grams by Sept. 29," said Kevin
Morgan, director of Florida Farm
Bureau's Agricultural Policy Divi-
sion. "There are no provisions
for late filing."
U. S. Secretary of Agriculture
Mike Johanns announced the
hurricane disaster program,
which began May 17. The
announcement included two
newly developed programs


funded through Section 32, the
Hurricane Indemnity Program
(HIP) and the Tree Indemnity
Program (TIP).
The Hurricane Indemnity
Program will provide payments
to eligible producers who sus-
tained crop losses and received
a Federal Crop Insurance Corpo-
ration crop insurance indemnity
payment due to hurricane dam-
age and whose crop was in an
eligible county. For most grow-
ers, the payment will be calcu--
lated by multiplying the crop
insurance payment times 30 per-
cent. More information is avail-
able at:
http://www.fsa.usda.gov/pas/pu


blications/facts/html/hip06.htm.
The Tree Indemnity Program
will provide flat payments for eli-
gible producers based on the
groves' proximity to the hurri-
cane's bands of severity. FSA has
established four tiers using the
maximum sustained wind
speeds recorded by the U. S.
Weather Service, although only
Tiers 2 through 4 are established
for Florida losses Tier 1 is for
the Gulf Coast states impacted
by Hurricane Katrina. The per-
acre payments by Tier for Flori-
da are: Tier 2, $300; Tier 3, $200;
Tier 4, $90. More information on
TIP is available at
http://www.fsa.usda.gov/pas/pu


blications/facts/html/tip06.htm
The rules for both HIP and
TIP also state that no "person"
may receive more than $80,000
in payments from each program
and an individual or entity
whose average adjusted gross
income exceeds $2.5 million is
ineligible for benefits unless 75
percent or more of their income
is derived from farming, ranch-
ing and/or forestry.
Sign up for these programs is
done at the county Farm Service
Agency offices and will end on
Sept. 29. Additional information

Pollution Prevention Week runs thru Sept. 24


TALLAHASSEE -- To improve
Florida's natural and indoor
environments, Governor Jeb
Bush signed a proclamation rec-
ognizing September 18-24, 2006,
as Florida Pollution Prevention
Week. Florida joins the nation to
celebrate Pollution Prevention
Week to promote awareness
and environmental stewardship.
Florida's theme for Pollution
Prevention Week is "Healthy
Ho mes, Healthy Hospitals,"
focusing on 'green' cleaning and
products The Florida Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion (DEP) is encouraging hospi-
tals, businesses and residents to
use environmentally-IfrendIv
cleaners to replace their tradi-
tional products, which can con-
tain hazardous materials. Pollu-
tion Prevention Week is an
opportunity for individuals, busi-
nesses and government to
emphasize pollution prevention
techniques and sustainable
activities to expand current envi-,
ronmental efforts.


"Green cleaning is one com-
ponent of pollution prevention
that leads to safer homes, hospi-
tals and hotels," said Mike Sole,
DEP's Deputy Secretary for Reg-
ulatory Programs and Energy.
"Using alternative cleaning
products prok ides a way to both
lower operational costs and be
more environmental -friendly."
SUsing traditional cleaning
products regularly can expose
Floridians to some of nearly
75,000 registered harmful chem-
.cal substances. Substituting
non-toxic, green cleaners can
reduce human and environmen-
tal exposure. By using "green
cleaners and properly\ disposing
of other products, residents can
help preserve Florida's natural
habitats.
DEP invites the public to par-
ticipaie in the following events:

cleaning event at Whole Foods
Market, 1989 Aloma Avenue,
Winter Park, 10am-2pm. Activi-
ties include a DEP hydrogen car

They say, frugal



is as frugal does
TheDine


Frugal is as frugal does- At
least, that's what my Mama used
to say. Actually, I think that was
stupid, not frugal, and I think that
was Forrest Gump's mama, not
mine. But I digress...we're talking
about frugality here, not stupidity.
Although a case for stupidity
could be made for the way we
buy groceries these days--throw-
ing just about anything in our
carts, left, right and center.
The first mistake is thinking we
have no time and are therefore,
slaves to convenience foods.
What's so helpful about Ham-
burger Helper, anyway" It's full of
scary ingredients, costs too much
money and isn't doing a thing for
you health-wise.
The second mistake we make
is thinking we are the exception
to the 24 hours a day rule-we ALL
have the same amount of time
each day. So why not make real
food for yourself and your family a.
priority? Cooking from scratch
doesn't require leg irons attached
to you and the stove and dramatic
farewells to family and friends.
You will see other rooms in your
house and yes, you can have a
life. It is really easy to pull this
off-I've done it for years.
You absolutely need a plan.
Write down everything your fami-
ly likes. Is spaghetti a winner?
Does the family like the way you
make Great Aunt Suzv's Chicken
Supreme (all done with healthy
ingredients, of course) or is Great
Aunt Suzy's Chicken Supreme too
time consuming to make? Then
ditch it and start over.
Bottom line: Your dinners have
to be simple and some should be
double-able and freeze-able.
Every time you make meatloaf,
make two. Or double casseroles
or extra burritos even. Then you
can have a frozen stash on those
days when life isn't coming.
together.
Sounds basic, right' It is. But it
is amazing how many people live
off adrenaline, driving home from
work each day sweating it out
because they don't have one
earthly idea what's for dinner. If
you have a plan, the world is your
oyster. And if you don't have a
plan, check out mine at Sav-
ingDinner.com
Here's a great recipe guaran-
teed to get you in and out of the
kitchen fast and have the family
begging for more!
Muy Nacho
Stuffed Shells
12 ounces jumbo shells (32
to 36 shells) uncooked
3/4 pound extra-lean ground
beef


The Dinner
Diva



Leanne,


1 4 cup quick oatmeal,
uncooked
I package (1.25-ounce) low-
sodium taco seasoning mix (no
msg)
1 cup water
1 can (16-ounce) refried

1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
--shredded
3,,4 cup mild, medium, or hot

ety)
, 1 can (8-ounce) tomato
sauce
1/2 cup thinly sliced green
onions
Optional Garnishes:
grated low-fat cheddar
cheese
chopped cilantro
salsa (use your favorite jarred
variety)
Avocado, carefully chopped
Prepare pasta according to
package directions. While pasta
is cooking, cook up the beef in a
large skillet until browned; drain
well and add the oatmeal. Add
taco season'hg mix nd water;
simmer 5 minutes or until thick-
ened. Stir in beans and cheese.
Cook until smooth and well-
mixed. When pasta is done, drain
well. Fill shells with beef mixture
(1-2 tablespoons per shell). Com-
bine salsa and tomato sauce in a
saucepan. Cook until heated, stir-
ring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread 1/2 cup sauce over the
bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking
pan that has been lightly
greased. Place filled shells side
by side on top of sauce; pour
remaining sauce evenly over
shells. Cover with a tent of alu-
minum foil; bake 35 to 40 min-
utes or until thoroughly heated.
Sprinkle with green onions.
Cover and let stand 5 minutes
before serving. Garnish as
desired.

Housework is not a '50-50' job


Several years ago when I
began to mentor women on the
internet, I wanted to help them
gain control of their homes and
lives. My mentoring was not to
teach them how to nag their hus-
bands to help them around the
house.
Many have complained that I
don't understand that husbands
and wives have an equal respon-
sibility in keeping the home work-
ing. YES, I do know this. But,
unless your husband or wife is a
part of our group, I can't help
them. I can only help you. I don't
expect you to do it all, but you
can, and many have. What about
the single moms or widows that
have to do it all by themselves?
They don't have husbands to
help. They have to take care of the
whole home alone. Oh, I almost
forgot the members whose
spouse is in the military and away
from home for months at a time,
and also the spouses that have to


travel a lot with their jobs. The
spouse left behind has the
responsibility for the entire home
on their shoulders.
What I have noticed is that
when the member of our group,
albeit the husband or the wife,
gets their routines in place and
the clutter in the home is
decreased, that they have found
that the other spouse comes
around and starts to help, so do
the children. They start to clean
up their "off limits" HOT SPOTS!
You know the ones that if you
even touch, will get you in HOT
WATER!
Marriage is not a 50-50 propo-
sition, as many of you think. I
believe that this perception is
hurting many families. Here is
why. When we feel we are doing
our half of the work, we automati-
cally feel slighted because we
don't feel our mate is doing his or
her fair share. So we pout, fuss, or
even go on strike. This is so silly.


Marriage is a 100 percent- 100
percent proposition, each person
giving their all to the family. When
you do all that you can, you have
done your best. When you sit at
the computer all day, don't get
dressed, and don't "hit a lick at a
snake" (Southern for just do
something), you are not spending
your time wisely. All because your
perception is, "Why should I
clean up, it is just going to get
messed up again!" or "He won't
even help, this isn't my entire job!
If he won't help then it can just
stay this way, I didn't make the
mess, so why should I clean it!"
There are many reasons our
members to not get up and move.
Most are just excuses. We all have
the same number of hours in
each day. Even members with
several children are seeing
progress. There are members
with sickness that are doing well
and there are members that work,
either at home or away from


A tree planted properly is


By Ed Ayen
Florida Yards & Neighborhood
Trees are probably the most
permanent addition to a "Florida
Friendly Landscape" so site selec-
tion and proper planting tech-
niques are essential. Pick the site
of your tree carefully, make sure
that when it grows taller it will not
interfere with other trees, power
and telephone lines and build-
ings. Tree roots extend far out
from the trunk, usually well
beyond the drip line so keep a\\ ay
from driveways, sidewalks, foun-
dations and drain fields.
Dig a hole as wide as the root
ball and an inch or two shallower
than the depth of the root ball. To
determine proper depth of the
root ball find the point where the
topmost root emerges from the
trunk. Remove enough dirt from
the top of the root ball so the top
most root is within the lop two


inches of soil.
Slide the root ball out of the
container or if wrapped with
material remove any string, rope,
synthetic burlap, strapping, plas-
tic or other material that will not
decompose in the soil. If the root
ball has circling small roots make
four vertical slices on each side of
the ball about one inch deep; this
will encourage these root to grow
outward. Do not cut large roots,
as the tree may go into/shock and
die..
Slide the tree into the hole
making sure the top of the root
ball is one to two inches above
the soil surface and is standing
straight in the hole. If the root ball
is too deep establishment of the
tree is delayed while the roots
grow up toward the soil surface.
Take your shovel and loosen the
soil out from the root ball to the
same width as the ball. This will
insure the roots have loose soil to


expand into. Then add 10 to 20
gallons of water to settle the soil
and thoroughly 'Iater the ball and
surrounding area. Apply mulch to
a minimum eight foot diameter
circle around the tree. Do not
apply mulch over the root ball
area as that may prevent water
Irom penetrating.
Staking the tree is recom-
mended to hold the root ball firm-
ly in the soil and keep the tree
upright. If the root ball shifts for
some reason new roots could
break causing a set back in
growth of the tree. Use flexible
ties and remove once the tree is
established as they could girdle
the tree.
Irrigating recently installed
trees is essential. To establish a
iree in sand), well drained soil
about three gallons of water per
inch of trunk diameter is needed
almost daily in the first several
months. Be careful not to over

National experts assess preK-12 education


ORLANDO After undertak-
ing a rigorous assessment of
Florida's education policies and
programs, the Hoover Institu-
tion's Koret Task Force on K-12
Education presented its' findings
and recommendations to Gover-
nor Jeb Bush on Tuesday, Sept.
12.
Earlier in the year, Governor
Bush and Board of Education
Chairman Philip Handy invited
the expert group to examine the
state's PreK-12 education system
and offer suggestions for
strengthening it.
The task force assessed cur-
rent polices and offered recom-
mendations for building upon
the reforms Florida has already
implemented. In its' appraisal,
the Task Force focused on some
of the most pressing issues on
the state's education agenda-
accountability, curriculum
reform, effective teaching,
school choice, pre-school edu-
cation, class size reduction and
effective resource management.
The findings from the Koret
Task Force's report show that, in
many areas, Florida has become
a national leader in education
reform that has worked to the
clear benefit of many students.
Yet crucial tasks remain to be
done and the Task Force's report
provides important guidance to
help inform future decision
making by educators, citizens
and state leaders.
"Florida's manifold accom-
plishments, while remarkable,
only reveal just how much more
needs to be done, if the nation's
schools are to become the
world-class institutions the
country needs," said Koret Task
Force member and Hoover Insti-
tution senior fellow Paul E.
Peterson. who served as editor
for the report.
Highlights from the Koret
Task Force's recommendations
are attached; the complete
report can be found at
www.KoretTaskForce.org.
The Koret Task Force mem-
bers are among America's fore-
most education scholars,
brought together by the Hoover
Institution with the support of
the Koret Foundation. All eleven
Task Force members participat-
ed in the Florida review: John E.,
Chubb, Williamson MI Evers,
Chester E. Finn Jr., Eric A.;
Hanushek, Paul T. Hill, E. D.
Hirsch, Caroline M. Hoxby, Terry
M. Moe, Paul E. Peterson, Diane
Ravitch, and Herbert J. Walberg.
Additional contributors include
Paul Clopton, Elena Llaudet,
Sonali Murarka, and Marguerite
Roza.
The Hoover Institution,
founded at Stanford University in
1919, is an interdisciplinary


Board meeting room, 400 10th
Street S.W, Moore Haven.
Accountability Reports

Accountability Reports for Glades
County Schools, Moore Haven

Reforming Education
in Florida
Recommendations from the
Koret Task Force on K-12 Educa-
tion.
The task force's full report,
Reforming Education in Florida
(Hoover Press, 2006) can be-
found online at www.KoretTask-
Force.org.
Overall Performance
Since 1998, students have
made impressive gains in read-
ing and math on the Florida
Comprehensive Assessment Test
(FCAT). Confirming these FCAT
gains are striking gains on the,
National Assessment of Educa-
tional Progress (NAEP), gains
that exceed .the national trend,
especially in fourth grade.
Florida has been out-pac-
ing the nation in the rate at
which it is closing the ethnic
achievement gap, particularly in
the elementary school years.
Yet FCAT gains among high
school students have not kept
pace with those in the lower
grades and NAEP scores for 17-
year-olds remain low.
Accountability
Florida's A+ Planr has many
features that make it a note or-
thy model for accountability
policies in other states and for
the federal government.
Schools are graded on an
intuitive, five-level "A" to "F",
scale that parents and taxpayers
can readily comprehend.
Schools are given a balance
of positive and negative incen-
tives.
The state's comprehensive
warehouse of data enables edu-
cators to track individual stu-
dents' progress from one year to
the next, enabling schools to be
evaluated both on the basis of
overall student accomplishment
and on the amount of individual
student growth over the previ-
ous year.
A+ also holds students
accountable with its graduation
exam and its retention policy for
low-scoring third grade students.
While this accountability
system is superior to the one
established bv the federal No
Child Left Behind act, it could be
further enhanced by giving


greater weight to students'
growth.
Florida should consider
extending its retention policy
beyond 3rd grade. '
Florida's current proficien-
cy standards in reading and
math need to be strengthened.
Curriculum
Based upon Florida's test-
score gains at the elementary-
school level, it appears that the
undertaking known as "Just
Read, Florida!" has enhanced
reading instruction in the state.
Florida should thoroughly
implement its current plans to
revise state standards and grade-
level expectations through
eighth grade to better align them
with high school achievement
goals. In all subjects, these
guidelines need greater grade-
by-grade content specificity
In mathematics, the state-
should boost the rigor of its stan-
dards. and expectations from
fifth grade on and should devel-
op end-of-course examinations
for algebra and beyond to match
the new standards.
Teachers
Florida has developed
imaginative programs to
enhance the recruitment and
retention of high-quality teach-
ers. Especially noteworthy are its
alternative teacher certification
program and its recent efforts to
reward teachers who are partic-
ularly effective in the classroom.
As Florida's STAR program
on performance pay is imple-
mented, it should be carefully
monitored so as to ensure that
pay differentials are sufficient to
retain high quality teachers in
the classroom.
Building on its alternative
teacher certification programs,
Florida should move toward a
more streamlined approach to
certification, allowing principals
to hire any candidate who pos-
sesses .a bachelor's degree,
demonstrates substantive com-
petence, and passes a back-
ground check.
Veteran teachers should be
required to demonstrate their
competence by possessing a
college (or graduate) degree in
the relevant subject, passing a
rigorous subject test, or showing
that their students are making


satisfactory achievement gains
on the FCAT.
School Choice
Florida's array of school
choice programs, including the
McKay, Corporate Tax Credit,
and, until recently, Opportunity
Scholarship, as well as its charter
and virtual school programs, has
made the state a national pace-
setter by creating a complimen-
tary set of education options that
benefit a variety of students.
The state should continue
widening its school choice
options and the legislature
should make every effort to
restore the Opportunity Scholar-
ship Program.
Pre-K
Florida is making good
progress in implementation of
its new statewide pre-school
program. Going forward, the
state should, within constitu-
tional parameters, concentrate
its pre-school resources on seg-
ments of the population in most
need of such services.
VPK program operators
should be monitored for quality,
integrity, and impact on student
readiness for school. In this
regard, Florida should develop a
data system for Pre-K compara-
ble to the one it currently has in
place for K-20 education.
Class Size and
Resource Utilization
Florida has done well .at
achieving fiscal equit\ among
school districts and is well posi-
tioned, because of the quality of
its data on school finance and
student performance, to work
on within-district equity and effi-
ciency issues.
Florida should consider
experimenting with pupil-based
funding programs. Such experi-
ments should be closely moni-
tored to test whether schools
with greater,control of funds
become more productive and to
identify spending patterns that
prove especially productive.
In place of the current
class-size amendment, the legis-
lature should denise and seek
voter approval of an alternative
approach that grants flexibility
in the use of scarce financial
resources to state and local edu-
cation authorities

Remembering the 'forgotten' storm of '28

1928 Hurricane:
a life-altering event


By Loma Jablonski
INI Florida
Sept. 16, 2006 marked the
78th anniversary of the killer hur-
ricane known to some as "The
Forgotten Storm" of 1928.
This storm may be forgotten
by some, but for those who live
and work around the lake, the
storm of 1928 will forever be
remembered as one of the most
devastating; life-altering events
in the history of Lake Okee-
chobee.
The State of Florida had slow-
ly returned to normal following
the "The Great Storm of 1926."
Official reports attribute
Between 242 and 373 deaths to
that storm. It did approximately
$159 million in damage. But,
Floridians were tough. They
went to work and rebuilt their
homes and towns.
Life returned to normal until
the summer of 1928.
In a program given at the
Okeechobee Public Library in
September of 2003 to commem-
orate, the 75th anniversary of
"The Forgotten Storm of 1928,"
Judge William Hendry look the
audience back to a simpler, qui-
eter time
"Picture, if you will, Lake
Okeechobee in the summer and
fall of 1928," said Judge Hendry.
"William 'Pogey Bill' Collins was
sheriff. The county's population
was less than 3,500. Okee-
chobee was thriving. There were
seven hotels, the largest of
which was the Southland Hotel,
towering three stories high over
what is now the intersection of
U.S. 441 and S.R. 70.
"Commercial fishing flour-
ished. Fish houses lined the
banks of the big lake. Conners
Highway was a fairly new toll
road that connected Okee-
chobee to Palm Beach County.
There was a bridge at Eagle Bay.
.A ferry was used to cross the
Kissimmee River north of the
lake," he continued.
But, not all of Okeechobee
kept up -\ith current technology.
Most of the homes in a row of,
houses on the sand ridge just
north of Conners Highway had
no electricity or running water.
They used candles and oil lamps
as did many in the area outside
of the city'limits. Many residents
did hot have telephones.
It had been a wet summer.
With fields already saturated and
the lake level over 16 feet, the
area around the big lake did not
need more water. But Mother
Nature did not cooperate.
On Aug. 9, 1928, a small, rela-
tively unknown hurricane blew
across Okeechobee, isolating it
from the outside world. A head-
line in the Aug. 9, 1928, issue of
The Okeechobee News stated,
"Okeechobee is flooded; Water
is still rising."
Twenty inches of rain fell in a
relatively short period of time.
The once quiet Taylor's Creek -
now known as Taylor Creek -
rose 12 inches. It overflowed its
banks and widened from 15 feet
to a width of 1 mile as it ram-
paged through town.
The Kissimmee River inched
toward the top of its banks and
was not expected to reach its
peak for another two days.
There were reports of over 3
feet of water inside buildings in
downtown Okeechobee. The
flood water reached the tracks of
the Florida East Coast railway.
Road workers attempting to
reach Okeechobee from the
west coast of Florida reported
that the grade on S.R. 29 was
badly washed out and they had
to swim in several places where
the road bed had been.
All roads to the east of Okee-

This hand-drawn picture made the front page of the Sept. 28,1928, issue of The Okeechobee
News, 12 days after the killer storm of Sept. 16. Its caption stated: "For years we have asked
for flood control, and received canals that flow backward. Two thousand lives pay the price
of politics, indifference and mismanagement."

Bridges were washed oul. Peo-
ple living outside of the city were
stranded for days without fresh
food or water.
As the water began to recede,
roads to the coast re-opened as
residents of Okeechobee began
the monumental task of cleaning
up totally unaware that.
another.storm vas blle' irig out
in the Atlantic. It made its way
across the Virgin Islands, Puerto
Rico and the. Bahamas, killing
1,500 people as it thundered
toward Florida.
Then, on Sept. 16, 1928, the
unthinkable happened. The
unnamed monster storm, pack-
inrg \ inds of 150 miles per hour,
tracked north and west as it set
its sights on Palm Beach County.
It pummeled the coast from
Pompano Beach to Jupiter and
destroyed e\ervyhing in its path..
Boats were torn from their
moorings and tossed onto the
streets of West Palm Beach.
One-third of the buildings in
Boca Raton were totally
destroyed.
Incredibly, the storm did not
lose its strength-as.it worked its.
way west toward Lake Okee-
chobee. There was little warning
for those living and working on
and around the lake.
Judge Hendry's grandfather,
J.J. "Jack" Hendry, had one of
the many fishing operations on
the big lake. Judge Hendry cred-
ited a radio report from Miami
for saving the lives of many of
the fishermen who were at work
on the lake as the hurricane
approached.
"My grandfather and his crew
were on the lake when they
heard the storm warnings on the
radio," stated Judge Hendry.
"They decided it was dangerous
and headed for shore. As they
made their way in they warned
other fishermen,,who also head-
ed to land.
"They headed their boats to
shore but were unable to make it
into the Istokpoga Canal
because the wind had already
pushed too much water away
from the shore," explained
Judge Hendry. "The fishermen
had to wade or swim to shore.
Most made it, but two people
drowned there."
By the time the storm was
over, it was estimated that over
2,000 people had died. Bodies
were stacked onto railroad
flatbeds. It is believed that nearly
1,600 bodies were transported to
a mass grave site at Port Mayaca
and 70 went into a common
grave in West Palm Beach's


Woodlawn Cemetery. Another
674 were buried in a mass grave
in an area near Tamarind
Avenue and 25th Street. also ir:
\\est Palrnm Beach.
An article in the Sept. 28,
1928, Okeechobee News stated:
"The number of dead resulting
from the great storm and flood
'of September 16 will.never be
known. Every estimate is a
guess, but a summary based
upon semi-reliable reports
shows that it is the greatest dis-
aster in the history of the United
States.
1 "Without any attempt at mak-
ing an estimate of our own we
give below the number as com-
piled b) t various sources. On the
East Coast 75; Okeechobee City
area 37; Indiantown 4; Pelican
Bay 150; buried in west Palm
Beach, bodies from Lake Okee-
chobee area 7'62; ;buried at
Moore Haven 80; drowned at or
near istokpoga Canal- 2, burned
in one building 45; South Bay,
population about 650, of which
151 escaped, and possibly 50
more unaccounted for escaped,

- unknown; number burned -
unknown; number of bodies yet
to recover-unknown, but all
three sources estimated at over
600. This would make a total of
2,106 known dead according to
estimates sent in to us," contin-
ued the article.
Those who survived dealt
with unbelievable hardships. But
they stayed in the ruins of the
towns they loved, many without
roofs over then heads or a place
to call home The\ dealt with the
stench of millions of fish and
farm animals being killed and
their remains left to rot'in the
late summer sun. According to
reports, rescue workers stated
that possums, raccoons and rab-'
bits i\ ere drowned by the tens of
thousands, drastically limiting
the availability of fresh meat and
bringing the trapping trade to a
standstill the following winter.
And yet, they remained.
Mosquitoes descended on
Okeechobee and stayed there
for three-to-four days following
the storm. A report in the Sept.
28 edition of The Okeechobee
News stated: "Monday the pests
were the worst ever known,
horses, cattle and poultry
becoming frantic from the bites
of thousands of mosquitoes as
they raced all night to get away
from their tormenters."
But, still they stayed. They
lived to see their beloved towns
once again emerge from the
muck and destruction.

Portions of an editorial print-
ed in The Okeechobee New\s on
Sept. 28, 1928, said it all.
"One witnesses on everv
hand, pure dowvn-right, unselfish
courage of the highest type.
These people are the descen-
dants of Americans who have
never known defeat.
They want another chance
and they \\ill hew that chance
out of the raw nothing, where
three weeks ago existed a meas-
ure ot prosperity human com-
forts, lile and hope and a bright
future. There are heads bowed
in sorrow over the loss of loved
ones, but the spirit and will to
forge forward stands erect in
most ever-yone."
SeventN -six years later, during
the hurricane season of 2004, a
window opened to the past and
permitted us to glimpse what
these brave people endured.
Once again the people of Okee-
chobee and those of other towns
surrounding the lake showed the
spirit and will to forge forward
through the worst that Mother
Nature threw at them."

A late summer at West Glades


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Special to Glades
County Democrat
MUSE The old but popular
game of Bingo is not just a game
anymore especially not at
West Glades Elementary School.
It's a major fund raiser for
"extras" at the school, including
some much-needed classroom
facilities for students.
Scheduled for Friday evening,
Sept. 22, West Glades' "Back-To-
School-Bingo" is a project of the
school's Parent Teacher's Orga-
nization (PTO).
The event is scheduled to
begin at 6:30 p.m. The grand
prize is a computer and other
"grand" prizes will go to each
and every Bingo winner a $20


gift certificate from Walmart.
It makes no difference
whether there are 20 or 200 win-
ners, each and every one will be
given a Walmart $20 gift certifi-
cate.
Of course there's no admis-
sion charge for the event, and
there'll be a 50-50 drawing.
Refreshments will be available,
including sloppy joes, soft drinks
and snacks.
The Beich Fund drive will
continue at West Glades through
Tuesday, Sept. 26.
. So if you haven't put in your
order for gifts and the like, be
sure to do so right away. This is
another event designed to raise
funds for "extras" at the school.
"We've been anxiously wait-
ing to make this announce-


ment," said Principal Larry
Lucky Jr. "Our new addition to
the school will be ready for
occupancy the first of October.
We're significantly over-crowd-
ed and these new classrooms
will alleviate this problem. Our
students, teachers and staff are
all excited about this and we
invite parents and friends of the-
school to come by and see this
new part of West Glades School.-
"And if you come at the right
time, you'll be thrilled to see
'our' West Glades Sandhills,
which numbered 22 this morn-
ing instead of 16," said the prin-
cipal. "This is the largest number
of Sandhill Cranes that most of
us have ever seen at one time in
one location."


Commission Approves Credit for Embarq


TALLAHASSEE According
to a decision made by the Florida
Public Service Commission
(Commission) today, Embarq
Florida, Inc. (Embarq) will issue
credits totaling $49,080 to resi-
dential customers who experi-
enced service problems.
During the course of a recent
service quality evaluation, Com-


mission staff determined that
customers who qualified for
credits under Embarq's Service
Guarantee Program (SGP) were
not properly credited. Embarq
later determined that the missing
credits were the result of two
system application errors that
occurred when modifications
were being made to satisfy new


data gathering requirements.
The credits will be promptly
issued to all affected customers
for missed commitments for pri-
mary service installation
between April I, 2005 and June
30, 2006. Embarq will contribute.

Aside from the new remodel-
ing, three new teachers have
joined the faculty. They are Shan-
di Woodward, a Kindergarten
teacher, Katherine Eisenga, 4th
grade teacher,'"and Samaritha
Williams, a 6th grade teacher.'
. The school was recently hon-
ored by Florida's governor and
education commissioner for
being one of the top 50 combina-
tion schools, with gains in FCAT
scores. Notably, Moore Haven
Elementary School moved up
from aC school to a B school.


Principal Brickle's words and

ration and thanks to the teachers.

dents, and are dedicated to help-
ing them be successful," he said.
"They often devote their personal
time and money to help them.
out."
Mr. Brickle said that all hard,
working students will be able to
celebrate their FCAT gains at the
"Turkey Trot" on Nov. 17. This
event will be a field day with a
walk-a-thon, and a continuation
of the camping theme.
Donations from the walk-a-
thon contribute to a more somber
cause. Students at MHES lost
three schoolmates last year due to
separate accidents. Money dona-
tions from the walk-a-thon will


purchase memorial headstones
that cost $250 dollars each. A
memorial flower garden has
already been planted in front of
the school.
In addition to rewarding stu-
dents for FCAT success in Novem-
ber, the school will have parties
every nine weeks for achieving
reading goals. There are also
rewards for the honor roll, and
6th grade safety patrol students
will take an extended field trip to
Washington, D.C.
The FCAT results and cheery
atmosphere of newly remodeled
classrooms has been a great
boost to the opening of a new
school year. This gives students,
faculty and administrators a rea-
son to be happy, and show school
pride.

growth and diversity," said Larry
Hilton, deputy county manager
for community development. "It
is real, real, important that peo-
ple understand that this project
will give Glades County an
opportunity they have not had in
almost a hundred years."
The dialogue between the
FP&L and Glades County began
in February 2006. Mr. Taylor
recalled that FP&L first asked for
visit during which they suggest-
ed choosing a site for a plant. Mr.
Taylor and the county commis-
sioners provided a setting where
both parties could freely discuss
what their needs were.
In this way, Glades County
officials were able to display
their negotiation skills and land
use expertise. FP&L proposed to
build a plant that would employ
an average of 1,600 construction
jobs annually over a five-year
construction period. This would
be followed by 1I0 full-time lobs
to operate the plant, and more
than 150 indirect support jobs in
the community.
The news has many in the
community excited at the
prospect of the future.
"Being a commissioner for 14
years, 1 can well remember
budget meetings in July and
August when we could hardl',
find enough moonel to support
the county," said Commissioner'
Bob Geisler. "Some years we
had to cut back services and
sometimes we had to let an
employee go. We'd work four to
five hours trying to find enough
money to fund some w\orthw while
project, and sometimes it was
not there to find."
The commissioner said the
new plant will impact the com-
munity in a big way.
"This FP&L project is not an
overnight adventure.
," he said. "It will .take six


years for the first phase to be
built and online. In the mean-
time, housing, restaurants,
hotels, and other ser vices will be
coming to Glades County. Are
we ready? I think not. But we
have capable people working for
us in whom I have confidence."
Elected officials also kept up
with the news.
"This is great news for Glades
County," said Senator Dave
Aronberg. "The FP&L plant will
create high-paying jobs and
diversify the local economy. Our
region will benefit from the ener-
gy created by the plant, and
Glades County will benefit by
adding jobs and $21 million to
the tax base. It's a win-win all
around "
State Representative Denise
GrimsleY said. "I applaud Glades
Counntv Manager Wendell Taylor,
Larry Hilton, Deputy County
Manager for Community Devel-
opment, and the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners for bringing
this project to fruition."
Before the plant is construct-
ed, however, there are several
more steps for review and
approval. FP&L's proposal will
be reviewed b\ Florida Depart-
ment ol Environmental Protec-
tion, South Florida after r Man-
agement District, and federal,
state and local agencies. Local
residents \ill be able to attend
and speak at public meetings,
hearings and workshopss .
\\rith $21 million in yearly, tax
benefits, multiple improvements
can be created tor local govern-
rnent sert ices. County commis-
sioner, Russell Echols, reflected
on the impact this would have
for a small county and said,
"This will transform Glades
County into a can-do county," he
said.
Suggestions for improve-
ments include maintaining
roads, enhancing schools, low-
ering ta-xes, building a pharmacy
and medical buildings, securing
better paying jobs; and giving
the town of Moore Haven a


boost because it is the county
seat.
Still, there are those who are
a little more hesitant about the
proposal.
"I have great concerns about
the environmental issues with
this power plant," said Fran Kbe-
bert of Muse. "I would like to see
FP&L make a commitment to
research and development for
technology to incorporate into
this new plant. There's good and
there's bad; we have to weigh
these factors."
Others seemed to agree.
Dr. Harris Friedman, an offi-
cer with the group Save our
Creeks, said, "I have some con-
cerns about a coal burning plant
and until I learn more about the
type technology that's being pro-
posed in terms of environmental
impact, my opinion is very
guarded as to whether this is a
good thing or not for the coun-
ty., .
County commissioner, Alvin
Ward, said, "It will go a long way
for a small county." He further
mentioned that Glades would be
able to have a choice on what
industries enter the county and
increased funding would, "Allow
us to keep cour rural landscape,
and keep our way of life." .
Dealing %w ith a large company
like FP&L can create a positive
outlook, because the United
States economy runs on electric-
ity, and there is a demand for
new power plants, something
most in Glades County are bet-
ting on.
Final approval will come from
the go\ ernor and state cabinet.
In the meantime,; residents'
eyes are focused on the future.
"This will be the greatest eco-
nomic boost that Glades County
has had since its birth in 1923,"
said Glades County Commis-
sioner Butch Jones.
Bob Jones, Glades County
safety director, said it simplest- "I
think it's God-sent. He sent it to
us."

near anu witn it comes cooler
temperatures that just seem to
add a little extra bounce to our
steps. It is a good month to focus
on your health by increasing exer-
cise while enjoying the fresh air
during frequent walks and eating
healthier. The USDA Dietary
Guidelines provide recommenda-
tions for a proper balance of a
variety of foods. For protein
sources, the USDA information
touts the benefits of including fish
and seafood two to three times
each week in meal plans. Since
October is National Seafood
Month, it is a good time to kick off
this healthy seafood habit while
supporting an important Florida
industry.
Seafood is an important part of
our state's heritage and economy.
Florida is a source of excellent
seafood, aquaculture and marine
life products. Florida's fishermen
harvest 98. different species on a
commercial scale with 2005 cash
receipts totaling more than $165
million. Florida aquaculture pro-
ducers farm a vast array of prod-
ucts with sales totaling $95.5 mil-


pi ints an tlllamus are te top t Iree
aquaculture operations. Florida
seafood and aquaculture has an
economic impact estimated at
more than $1.3 billion annually.
"Seafood can be an excellent
part of a healthy and balanced
diet," Florida Department of Agri-
culture and Consumer Services'
Commissioner Charles H. Brori-
son said. "There are many rea-
sons to incorporate Florida
seafood in your meal plan several
times a week." He explained, "It
just makes sense. It is a low-fat
protein source with many nutri-
ents."
Seafood is widely known for its
omega-3 fatty acid properties.
Many organizations support the
benefits of its frequent consump-
tion. According to the American
Heart Association, omega-3 fatty
acids can benefit individuals with
healthy hearts as well as those
who have heart disease. The Unit-
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture's wwwv.m.p.Tamid.go\ web-
site indicates that there is
evidence that eating fish rich in
omega-3 fatty acids can reduce


saeeI. our year s OLUIy iunuu eDy
the National Institutes of Health,
found that citizens 65 and older
who eat fish at least once a week
have a 60 percent lower risk of
dementia, including Alzheimer's
disease.
There are lots of quick and
easy ways to incorporate seafood
into your family meals. Since you
should never overcook seafood, it
is quicker to prepare than most
protein sources. So even if your
meal preparation has to work
around all the hustle and bustle of
an increase of fall activities that go
along with school, the football
season, Halloween and plans for
the future holidays, you will find it
easier than \ou think.
Here are some tips to easily
include seafood in your meals
without spending a lot of time in
the kitchen or breaking the budg-
et.
Buy Florida fish in fresh filet or
steak form for quick preparation.
Filets are normally bone-free and
steaks are usually cut into serving
sizes, making the prep time a
snap. You can grill, broil, poach or


1ng. y. ed5tI Vto 1 tII YUU l l
evening meal or flake into a salad
for lunch.
, Try different sizes of Florida
shrimp and use for different appe-
tizers or in main courses. Shrimp
can simply be seasoned with gar-
lic, lemon or other spices and
broiled.
Prepare grilled kabobs that
include your favorite veggies and
Florida seafood. Serve'with rice
pilaf and/or whole wheat rolls for
a complete healthy meal.
Florida oysters are abundant in
fall and can be steamed, grilled,
baked or broiled. They can be
purchased both shucked and in
the shell at 'our local market
Tacos make a quick supper.
Try using Florida fish, shrimp or
crab in them. If you are more
adventurous and would like to
prepare seafood dishes that are a
little more elaborate, visit the

Marketing.campaign helps Florida shrimp industry


TALLAHASSEE A three-year
marketing campaign helped keep
Florida's shrimp industry viable in
the face of unrelenting competi-
tion from foreign countries, Flori-
da Agriculture Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson said today.
The "Wild and Wonderful
Florida Shrimp" promotion, con-
ducted by the Florida Department
of Agriculture and Consumer Ser-
vices from 2004 to 2006, was
instrumental in the sale of 2.7 mil-
lion pounds of Florida wild-
caught shrimp by participating
retail stores. Some stores reported
sales increases as high as 2,000
percent over the same periods in
prioryears.
"Florida's shrimp industry has
faced an onslaught of competi-
tion from foreign countries that
have exported more than a bil-
lion pounds of shrimp into the
U.S. market in the past few
years," Bronson said. '"Many of
our state's shrimpers have been
forced out of business altogether,
and the remaining ones have
experienced very difficult times.


This marketing campaign was
crucial in helping keep Florida's
shrimp industry alive."
According to the National
Marine Fisheries Service. foreign
countries have captured 88 per-
cent of the total U.S. market. Viet-
nam. China, India and Brazil have
dramatically increased exports to
the United States in recent years.
An estimated 200,000 U S. jobs
have been lost.
The state and federally fund-
ed campaign focused on raising
consumer awareness about the
benefits of buying Florida wild-
caught shrimp and highlighted
the Florida shrimp industry's
economic value to the state.
Florida's shrimp industry sup-
ports 4,400 jobs and contributes
more than $185 million to the
state's economy.
"Florida shrimp is a premium
quality ...product. with superior
taste," Bronson said. '\Ve believe
that consumers deserve to have a
choice, and we encourage them,
to ask for shrimp from Florida.
When they do, they receive a


wholesome, natural product -
and they help our fishermen and
our state's economy."
The advertising incentive pro-
gram required retailers and
restaurants to use the "Ask for
Shrimp from Florida" logo in
their advertising and encouraged
in-store shrimp promotions. A
total of 3,011 stores in 14 super-
market' chains located in 26
states and Washington, D.C.,
participated. Participating Flori-
da supermarket chains were
PublL\, Winn-DLxie and Kash 'N'
Karry SweetBay. National stores
included Kroger, Harris Teeter,
HEB Grocers, Giant Foods,
Schnrucks, Jewell Food Stores,
Ukrops, Roundys, Bi-Lo, Cub
Foods, Heinen's, King Soopers,
Fred Meyer, and Farm Fresh.
In addition to the advertising
incentive program, the "Wild and
Wonderful Florida Shrimp" cam-
paign included the following com-
ponents: radio and television pub-
lic service advertisements; media
relations initiatives to educate con-
sumers on the quality of Florida


shrimp; point-of-purchase materi-
als including brochures, posters
and static clings for use by retail-
ers; partnerships with chefs inclu'd-
ing in-store demonstrations, tele.i-
sion appearances and celebrity
chef programs, trade show and
festival participation; sponsorship
of the "Ask for Shrimp Irom Flori-
da" race car in the NASCAR ARCA
circuit; the wwvw.WildFlori-

features shrimp recipes and indus-
try facts and statistics.

Energy now grows on trees


By Stu Hutson
University of Florida
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Road
warriors, it may be time to hug a
tree. In a few years, you could find
yourself filling your gas tank with
ethanol derived from specially bred
black cottonwood trees and at
prices not seen since the 1990s.
Researchers from the University
of Florida's (UF) Institute of Food
and Agricultural Sciences, in con-
junction with 33 scientific, institu-
tions worldwide, have mapped out
the genome of the black cotton-
wood tree, a prime candidate for
use in new "biomass" fuel produc-
tion methods that could someday
cut our reliance on petroleum and
reduce pollution.
The research, featured on the
cover of the September 15 issue of
the journal, Science, identifies
genes that can be specifically
selected through traditional plant
breeding to produce trees with the
perfect qualities for efficient con-
version into biomass fuel.
For example, one method
developed by UF researcher Lon-
nie Ingram uses genetically engi-
neered bacteria to convert sub-
stances in the tree's cell walls into
ethanol and other useful chemi-
cals. The work isn't jusl pie-in-the-
sky idealism. Mr. Ingram is collabo-
rating with Massachusetts-based
Celunol Corp to build a 20-million
gallon biomass-lo-ethanol plant in
Jennings, La expected to be oper-
ational by spring 20(07.


The genomic research revealed
93 genes that help control the pro-
duction of these cell wall sub-
stances. By breeding trees with just
the right variation of these genes,
researchers can produce the ideal
energy cash crop that could help
replace as much as half of the oil
imported into the United States.
"We are not talking about a
genetically modified organism,"
said John Mark Davis, one of three
UF researchers who collaborated
on the project. "This is a wild tree,
and there's enough genetic varia-
tion already out there for us to get
the plant we want without direct
genetic manipulation."
In ideal environments, the trees
already grow rapidly, as much as
12 feet in a year, and can reach
maturity in as little as four years.
But the genome could also mean
breeding trees that respond well to
less than ideal environments. The
result could be a new type of crop
that could be grown through the
somewhat economically
depressed Midwestern and Pacific
Northwest states, said UF
researcher Manas Kirst.
Of course, vast farms of the
black cottonwood would come
with another advantage other than
cleaner-burning, cheaper fuel-the
trees, like all plants, absorb the most
significant greenhouse gas. carbon
dioxide. They then store the carbon
in their stems, roots and the soil.
"Basicall, you would have a
fuel source for our cars that, in the
big picture, could help capture


almost as much carbon dioxide as
it produces," said UF researcher
Gary Peter. "That would go a long
way in slowing the biggest driver of
globalwarming."
The effort to sequence the black
cottonwood's genome was funded
by the U.S. Department of Energy
and included institutions such as
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the
University of British Columbia and
Ghent University in Belgium. It is
part of a broader effort to replace
30 percent of the fuel burned in the
U.S. with biomass fuels by 2030.
This is only the third plant
genome to be sequenced, and con-
tains nearly four times more genet-
ic information than that of either
rice or Arabidopsis thaliana, a flow-
ering weed. More than 45,000
genes yere identified-that's twice
the number identified in the
human genome, which is six times
larger than that of the cottonwood.
There is still much work to do
before the genome is completely
understood. Computers have
helped identify which genes maybe
responsible for certain characteris-
tics, but trees with those specific
genes must still be grown, tested
and harvested. Researchers Peter,
Davis and Kirst are growing thou-
sands of trees \\"ith hundreds of dif-
ferent genetic variations in an envi-
ronmentally controlled greenhouse.
"We've done the ground'vork,
now we need to do the growing,"
Mr. Davis said, "and that takes
time."


Public will play on SFWMD land


The South Florida Water Man-
agement District Governing Board
approved a resolution on Wednes-
day authorizing a $1.7 million con-
tract with Construction Technology
Inc. of West Palm Beach to build
the Harold A. Campbell Public Use
Facility at Stormwater Treatment
Area (STA) 3/4. While the STA is
open to other recreation uses such
as bird-watching .and seasonal
duck hunting, this will be the first
public access site into the 16,554-
acre constructed wetland located
in western Palm Beach County.
Named in memory of South
Florida Water Management District
employee and STA 3/4 construc-
tion inspector Harold A. Campbell,
the facility will include a dual-lane
boat ramp with access to over 23
miles of perimeter canals that are
outside the STA, covered informa-
tion kiosks, paved parking areas,


concrete sidewalks, restrooms,
landscape improvements and
access road improvements Also, a
pedestrian bridge will provide
access to hike or bike in the STA
and see the different plants in the
treatment marsh.
"\\hen completed in April
2007, recreational fishermen.
boaters and tamilies can take a little
time away from the hustle and bus
tie of city life and enjoy a quiet da5
of fishing in the northern reaches of
the E\erglades." said Michael
Collins, District Governing Board
member and chairman of the
Water Resources Advisory Com-
mission. "Establishing STAs with
public access helps to meet the Dis-
trict's mission and fulfill legislative
mandates to make public lands
available for recreational uses that
do not adxeisely affect the restora-
tion goals of the project." .


Stormwater treatment areas are
large, constructed wetlands that
contain aquatic plants that remove
phosphorus from the water before
it enters the Everglades. Too much
phosphorus causes undesirable
effects such as the uncontrolled
growth of algae and invasive vege-
lation, which h can be detrimental to
the Everglades ecosystem. Over the
last decade, 40,000 acres of treat-
ment areas and improved farming
practices combined have prevent-
ed 2,200 tons of phosphorus from
entering the Everglades.
The Harold A. Campbell Public
Use Facility at STA 3/4 will be locat-
ed along the Palm Beach/Broward
County line west of U.S. 27, approx-
imately 14 miles north of Alligator
Alley (SR 84) or 25 miles south of
South Bay Construction is sched-
uled to begin in October. ,

The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture (USDA) has released its
Commercial Citrus Inventory
Preliminary Report indicating an
overall decrease in Florida citrus
acreage.
Report Shows Decrease in
Florida Citrus Acreage
LAKELAND, Fla.-On Sept.
15, the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture (USDA) released its
Commercial Citrus Inventory
Preliminary Report indicating an
overall decrease in Florida citrus
acreage.
The 2006 total for all citrus
acreage is 621,373, down 17 per-
cent from the 2004 census. The
net change, a loss of 127,182
acres, is the greatest in any non-
freeze period and second overall
on record. Citrus trees total
81,909,000, a decrease of 16.4
percent from the previous cen-
sus and 23.5 percent from the
1998 high of 107,110,200.
Polk County continues to
lead in acreage while Hendry,
Highlands, DeSoto and St. Lucie
counties make up the top five.
The top five counties account for
nearly 55 percent of the state's
citrus acreage and nearly 56 per-
cent of the state's citrus trees.
All orange acreage is down
15 percent from the previous
census to 529,241, only 13.5 per-
cent higher than the record low
of-l466,252 in 1986. Valencia trees
represent 55 percent of the total,
the greatest portion in the series
dating to 1966. Grapefruit
acreage declined 28.8 percent
from the previous census to
63,419, the lowest total acreage
since 1966.
The Florida citrus industry
has a $9.1 billion economic
impact to the state, employs
nearly 90,000 people and covers
750,000 acres in the state. Florida
Citrus Mutual, founded in 1948,
is the state's largest citrus grow-
er's organization with nearly
10,000 grower members.

Ag commissioner warns of tainted spinach


TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bron-
son deployed the department's
food safety inspectors on Friday,
Sept. 15, to make sure that fresh
bagged spinach has been
removed from the produce aisles
of Florida supermarkets and other
retail food stores.
Commissioner Bronson's
action comes in the wake of a
U.S. Food and Drug Administra-
tion warning advising consumers
throughout the country to avoid
eating the product because of its
association with approximately
50 cases of E.coli in eight states.
While no reported illnesses have
occurred in Florida, the warning


covers the entire nation.
"We want to be sure that our
supermarkets and other retailers
have received the word from the
federal government about con-
sumers avoiding fresh bagged
spinach," Commissioner Bron-
son said.
Toward that end, inspectors
from the department's Food Safe-
ty Division are on the lookout for
the product while they are put
performing their routine sanita-
tion inspections of food stores. If
any such product is found,
inspectors will notify store per-
sonnel of the FDA warning.
Most of Florida's major super-
market chains already have
removed fresh bagged spinach


from their stores, but it is unclear
whether some of the state's small-
.er grocery stores have received
the word from FDA and have
pulled the product from their pro-
duce aisles.
E. coli causes diarrhea, often
with bloody stools. Most healthy
adults recover from the ailment
within a week, although people at
highest risk the very young, old
and those with compromised
immune systems can develop a
form of kidney failure which can
be fatal.
The federal government is
continuing its investigation of the
outbreak to determine the source
of the bad spinach.

Biopesticides in your Florida yard


By Dan Culbert
Extension Horticulture Agent
Local homeowners who deal
with pests in the landscape are
often concerned about the use of
chemical pesticides in their Florida
Yards. During a recent conference,
UF Extension Plant Pathologist
Monica L. Elliott presented a few
ideas on a kinder, gentler way to
manage unwanted pests without
sacrificing our delicate environ-
mental quality. Today's column
shares some of her thinking on the
use of biopesticides.
The modern answer to land-
scape pests is called Integrated
Pest Management (IPM). IPM is a
way to deal with pests that uses
pest identification and monitor-
ing, followed by multiple
approaches to reducing pest pop-
ulations. Cultural methods such as
the use of pest resistant varieties,
selecting appropriate plants and
management techniques are cou-
pled with traditional chemical
controls or biological controls to
manage a pest problem.
All too often, biological controls
are promoted, even by scientists,
as the ultimate problem, solver.
They are not. They are simply one
part of the complex puzzle anoth-
er weapon that can be used if a bat-
tle is needed.
Biological control suggests that
some kind of other creature is
involved in controlling a targeted
pest. But does that organism have
to be alive? Can we figure out how
Mother Nature works and have it

help us out? Why does the word
"pesticide" always have to be
lumped with the "bad guy"? These
are some of the topics that relate to
Biopesticides.
Using Nature
as a blueprint
It is important to realize that
there are safe chemical pesticides.
The trend in the pest control indus-.
try is to look to nature for clues for
chemical pesticides. Biologically
derived pesticides are synthetic
compounds whose chemistry is
based on natural products.;.
A good example of biologically
inspired synthetic pesticides is the
strobilurin group of fungicides. The
active ingredients are based on nat-
ural compounds produced by a
fungus that decays wood. Howev-
er, when the natural compounds
tested under field conditions, they
proved to be impractical because
they broke down when exposed to
sunlight. These natural products
inspired the invention of the stable
synthetic versions.
Biopesticides are natural prod-
ucts where there is no chemical
synthesis involved. Since they are
pesticides, they are regulated by the
Biopesticides and Pollution Preven-
tion Division of the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agenc I(EPA) .


Types of biopesticides
There are three types of biopes-
ticides biochemical, plant, and
microbial.
Biochemical biopesticides are
naturally occurring chemicals that
control pests by a non-toxic mode
of action. The .most common
examples are pheromones chem-
icals that insects produce that regu-
late certain kinds of activity, such as
molting or egg-laying.
Plant biopesticides are sub-
stances that plants produce from
genetic material that has been
added to the plant. The insertion of
the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endo-
toxin genes into crops like corn, cot-
ton and potato to control insect
pests are well known examples.
Microbial biopesticides con-
tain a naturally occurring or geneti-
cally altered microorganism or its
product as the active ingredient.
Examples of Biopesticide Prod-
ucts Microbial biopesticides exam-
ples are available if you know to
ask for them. At the end of 2001,
there were approximately 195 reg-
istered biopesticide active ingredi-
ents and 780 products. These prod-
ucts do not permanently establish
in the environment. Here are some
examples of commercially avail-
able Biopesticides:
"Bt" insecticides such as
DipelTM are derived from the bac-
terium Bacillus thuringiensis. This
is an example of a product that is
composed of a dead microbe
and or the product that it produces.
When you apply Bt insecticides,
you are applying a toxin produced


by the bacterium. The endotoxin
has been separated out from the
rest of the products the bacterium
produces and from the bacterium
itself. When- the targeted insect
(such as caterpillars or mosquito
larvae) eats this toxin, it is killed.
One of the main problems with Bt
insecticides is that the toxin is readi-
ly broken down by sunlight. This is
why it is best to apply the product
just before dark.
DiTera is a product that is
composed of the dried fermenta-
tion residues of a fungus, Myrothe-
cium verrucaria. It is labeled for
insect and nematode control. The
fungus is no longer living. But,
unlike the Bt insecticides, essential-
ly everything produced by the fun-
gus during fermentation is used to
formulate the product.
A third example of a biopesti-
cide product composed of a living
microorganism is the fungicide
RootShield Home & Garden. It is
composed of the fungus Trichoder-
ma harzianum. This product may
control soilborne lungal pathogens
in a number cof ways, such as pro-
duction of a toxin or competition
for food or root sites. Biopesticides
must be registered.
If a product composed of
microbe(s) claims to directly con-
trol a pest, it must be registered by
the EPA as a pesticide. If a living
microbial product only claims to
improve plant health in general,
without mentioning specific pests,
the product does not have to be
registered by the EPA.


Verification demand creates opening for calf producers


Public concern over food safety
has spawned a new niche market
for cattle producers: age and
source-verified cattle. Florida cattle
producers can earn substantial pre-
miums by age- and source-verify-
ing their calves, which qualifies
beef from their animals for sale to
Japan and other export markets.
One company helping ranch-
ers take advantage of this opportu-
nity is Okeechobee Livestock Mar-
ket. Florida's largest livestock
market is selling truckload lots of
age- and source-verified cattle
over the Internet through Produc-
ers Cattle Auction LLC, an online
cattle auction company based in
Mobile, Alabama.
"Retailers are paying premiums
for age and source-verified cattle,
and there's no need for the feedlots
and the packers to be the only ones
in the production chain that are get-
ting them," said Todd Clemons,
president of Okeechobee Livestock
Market. "Our aim is to help ranchers
take care of age and source verifica-
tion on their end so they can keep
more of the money in their own
pockets. The cow/calf producer is
the only person who can verify the
age and source of feeder calves."
In December 2003, a single
cow in Washington State tested
positive for bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (BSE), also
known as mad cow disease. As a
result, U.S. beef was banned by
over 40 countries, including Japan,
the United States' most lucrative
beef export market. Most of the


markets that were closed have
since reopened, but with restric-
t.ons on U.S. imports Since most
cases of BSE occur in cattle over 30
months of age, many countries
nowv require that cattle be less than
30 months old at time of slaughter.
Japan, which ended its ban in July.
accepts only beef Irom cattle 20
months o:ld or younger.
"At this time, only the export
markets require age and source
verification." said Jim Austin, presi-
dent and general manager of Pro-
ducers Cattle Auction. "But once
consumers find out what Japan is
requiring, it is likely that the domes-
tic beef trade W\ill also demand
more verification. Producers who
are proactive and get involved in
the verification process early
should be positioning themselves
well for the future."
Since April, Okeechobee Live-
*stock Market nas sold 25,000 head
of cattle through online auctions,
and 80 percent of those were age
and source verified. The premiums
paid for age and source-verified
calves are determined by supply
and demand.
"If age and source verification
becomes required by the govern-
ment, then it will be the norrnm and
there' won't be extra money to be,
made," Mr. Clemons explained. "Ot
course, that hasn't happened yet.
Right now, buyers are willing to pay
a premium for these cattle because
there are so fe-\ of them available."
Producers .Cattle Auction
makes verification easy and inex-


pensive with a simple, low-tech
ear tag that costs about a dollar.
The tag lists the birth date of the
oldest call in the sale lot. the
premises identification number
assigned to the ranch where the
calves were born, and a contact
phone number. The rancher cre-
ates a paper trail by documenting
when he turned his bulls out and
when the first and last calves in
the group were born. He records
the total number of calves born in
the herd, the number of brood
cowvs in the herd, and the num-
ber of acres he.ran the cattle on.
"We have educated ourselves
about exactly what is required by
Japan and other export markets,"
Mr. Austin said. "There is a lot of
misinformation out there. Ranch-
ers don't need to use expensive
electronic ID tags, and they don't
need to pay to have their data
stored in a commercial database.
The requirements are really pretty
simple, and ranchers don't have to
spend a lot to meet them."
The premises identification
number is assigned by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture under
the National Animal Identification
System.
Rancher Woody Larson of Dixie
Ranch in Okeechobee has been
selling cattle through Producers
Cattle Auction since 1993. He said
he's pleased with the relative ease
of the verification process
"As long as we plan ahead and
have tags, there's not much extra
work," he said. "We do have to plan

and keep records. But putting tags
in the cattle is not that bad. W.e just
do it along with our regularwork."
Mr. Larson said he started age
and source-verit-ing his calves "to
get ahead of the curve."
"I try to do %what I think the cus-
torner will want," he said. "I think
people want to know \here their
cattle come from, not just in Japan,
but here at home too."
Perry Smith, owner of Perry
Smith and Sons Ranch in High-

and source verifying. He's been
selling cattle online for years. "I
appreciate the research that has
been done to make the verification
process as simple as possible for
producers," Mr. Smith said. "It's
another job, but it's doable, and if
we want to, market our product,
we've got to get with the program."
"Verification isn't mandatory
yet," Woody Larson added. "But if it
gets to be, we'll be accustomed to
it."

INI/MaryAnn Morris
Fred Davis, Land Manager for SFWMD spoke of Micco Landing and explained that the goal
of the SFWMD governing board is that the public have use of every acre SFWMD owns.


Jeff McLemore, manager of Micco Landing Management Area for SFWMD, took members of
the public on a swamp buggy ride so they could enjoy the area. This stop let everyone enjoy
a look at the old Kissimmee River.


Micco Landing on Kissimmee River open to the public


By MaryAnn Morris
INI Florida
KISSIMMEE RIVER The
Micco Landing Management
Area on State Road 98, ust north
of Basinger in Okeechobee
County, w\as declared open tor
public use Saturday, Sept. 16 by
South Florida Water Manage-
ment Distric t (SFWMD) officials.
"Another pearl in the string of
pearls that the restored Kissim-
mee River will give the public,"
said Fred Davis, Land Manager
for SFWMD.
The "pearls" Mr. Davis refers
to is a string of recreation areas
along the Kissimmee River that
are being restored and opened
to the public for hiking, hunting,
fishing horseback riding and var-
ious kinds of boating. The site
was the landing for the Pearce
ferry boats crossing the Kissim-
mee River in the late 1800s.
"Micco" is Seminole for leader.
"This 1,550 acre parcel is
available to the public thanks to
a 50/50 cost sharing by the State
of Florida and the federal gov-
ernment to restore the Kissim-
mee River to its original mean-
dering course," said Mr. Davis.
,s""The cost of the land and its
acquisition is allowed t>u be part
of te state's 50 percent," he
'continued.
The SFWMD Governing
Board wants every acre that the
district owns to be used by the
public for some kind of recre-


Micco Landing Management Area, now grazed by cattle, is nonetheless open to the public for
hunting in season, walking and biking. It is one on many such areas along the Kissimmee River.


ation, according to Mr. Davis.
The primary use is water man-
agement, whether it is a storm
water treatment area that
cleanses runoff water before
allowing it to return to South
Florida's lakes and streams or a
flood plain that provides habitat
to game birds and other wildlife,
but our goal is that some kind of
recreation be available for the
people.
Jeff McLemore, manager of
the Micco Landing Recreation
Area for SFWIvID explained the
uses of the area to 'the 30 or so
people gathered under tents,
munching fruit and pastries
washed down with cold water.
"Right now, until the river is
restored, much of the area will


be dry. However, when the river
is restored, much more of the
area will be wet for longer peri-
ods of time. Right now there is
an active cattle Lease on the land,
so if you come to hike, please
remember, you will be sharing
your walk with large bovines!"
Mr. McLemore said.
This was echoed by Mr.
Davis.
"If you ride a bike, you may
find the cows like to jog along-
side you.. If it becomes an issue,
just stop. 'Cattle have relatively
shori attention spans and even-
tually may forget why they were
interested in you in the first


place and go on about their own
business," he said with a know-
ing chuckle.-
With those caveats, the
assembled group broke to go for
a swamp buggy tour of the area,
complements of SFWMD and
the Kissimmee Piaiiie Preserve
State Park, whose buggy, driven
by park manager Charlie Brown,
had also been enlisted for the
tour.
The two buggies set out
through the trees and into .the
range along a track in the grass
that skirted the line of oak trees
that edged the flood plain.
Assembled cattle, mostly red


Brangus, in groups eyed the
strange "beasts" warily.
Out on the plain and back in
behind some trees, Mr.
McLemore, driver of SFWMD's
buggy, stopped and showed
where some pre-restoration
work was being done to fill
smaller ditches that drained
small marsh ponds. These areas
would again hold water when
the next rainy season comes, he
explained. The next stop was
beside a section of the original
Kissimmee' River \vhich bent
around a large cypress tree, and
slid gently through the grass-
land.
Heading back, a pair of ducks
flapped out of the wet marsh as
the buggies passed.
This area, just before the
Kissimmee River crossing on
State Road 98, will be available
to hunters this season under
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser-


vation Commission (FWC)
rules, with appropriate permits
and under General Public Use
Area Regulations. Consult the
FWC Kissimmee River public
Use area brochure for hunting
rules and regulations. Web Site
is http://myfwc.com/hunting/.
The area is available to the pub-
lic at any time.

Florida hunting laws have big teeth


The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
approved a measure September 13
to join 23 other states in a pact to
suspend hunting and fishing
license privileges for anyone com-
mitting a conservation law viola-
tion that costs him his license in
another participating state.
If no one requests a hearing on
the measure in the next 21 days,
the new rule will take effect 20 days
later. The rule honors license sus-
pensions for like-violations in other
participating states, as long as Flori-
da has a similar penalty for the
same offense. FWC Law Enforce-
ment Capt. Curtis Brown said the
rule will make FWC officers more
efficient by allowing more time for


enforcement duties.
"It will make violators more
accountable for their illegal activi-
ties," Capt. Brown said. "Wildlife
lawbreakers no longer will be able
to escape consequences just by
crossing a state line."
Other participating states
include Arizona, California, Col-
orado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
New York, North Dakota, Oregon,
South Dakota, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming.
There's more bad news for
repeat violators: jail time and
mandatory fines grow stiffer with
each violation under new


enhanced-penalties laws already in
effect in Florida.
For instance, a nominal fine for
a first offense has not changed, but
the penalty grows to a minimum
mandatory fine of $250 for a sec-
ond offense within three years and


a minimum mandatory fine of
$500, plus a one-year suspension
of all recreational licenses for a
third offense within five years.

Him "Let one of

"We can!" It was during the eve of
His crucifixion thial Jesus prayed


"Lord deliver this cup from me..."
and there couldn't have been the
least idea in the minds of the two
disciples that the "cup" was one of
pain and suffering, not of prestige
and being seated in a high place.
The other ten disciples became
indignant when they heard of the
self-promoting pair that wanted to
go to the top right away. The Lord
had to call them all together and let
them know that it was the way of
the rulers of the Gentiles to seek
high places and lord it all over
them, and their high officers to
exercise authority. They were
reminded "not so with you.
Instead, whoever wants to
become great among you must be
your servant, and whoever wants
to be first must be slave of all

The third grade teacher served
his students by being the best third
grade teacher that he could be. No
doubt his principal served- his stu-
dents and teachers by being the
best principal he could be, and
maybe he was happier in an admin-
istrative role than a classroom set-
ting. Each had a calling, a vocation,
and was happiest by being the ser-

One of the members of a youth

we shouldn't get upset when others
don't want to run, either. Perhaps
they have fulfilled their ambitions;
that's their God-given right. It wasn't
the teacher who was unhappy with
being the teacher, but somebody
else who made herself unhappy by
trying to see someone as they really
weren't intended to be.
Those who serve as they are
intended to serve; are called to
serve, seem the happiest. They have
something to teach those who are
unhappy with others, who may
really be unhappywith themselves.

Aloe juice has been used as a medicine for centuries
.c ncl.t. n..


About ten years ago, I spent a
grand total of 99 cents on a
small, spiny, potted plant, an
aloe plant. I kept it as a potted
plant indoors at first, and when it
grew too big for the pot, I plant-
ed it in my frontyard.
The spikes on the plant discour-
age my dog from taking a short cut
through the hibiscus, and it acts as
a convenient "first aid" kit.
I use fresh aloe on burns, stings
and sunburn. Just cut off a piece of
the aloe plant, slice it open and
apply the "gel" inside to skin., The


A

Life

with Katrina Elsken

gel contains natural substances
that are soothing and help relieve
the pain of a burn, as well as natu-


ral antibiotics which help prevent
infection. This has proven to be a
remedy not only for burns and
stings, but also to help relieve the
itching of chickenpox and some
skin rashes.
Some arthritis sufferers claim to
get some relief from rubbing aloe
on their joints. While there is no
scientific data to back up this
claim, at the very least the gel is
soothing to the skin.
The aloe plant has been used as
a natural medicine for thousands
of years. The first recorded use


goes back to the 4th Century B.C.
The plant was known by the
ancient Egyptians. In the 10th Cen-
tury A.D. the King of Great Britain
received a gift of aloe from
Jerusalem.
Aloe gel is used in cosmetics
and skin treatments. You can buy
aloe gel as a skin treatment. In my
experience, fresh aloe works best.
Some people take aloe in a
drink form. However, taking aloe
internally should only be done
with care and after consulting a
doctor. Aloe juice may cause very


painful cramping.
Aloe was, originally native to
Africa. It has been widely cultivat-
ed in North America and can be
found growing wild in the deserts
of the Southwestern United States.
It tolerates heat well and is easy to
grow in Florida, either as a potted
plant or a landscape plant. Once
established, it takes very little care.
Conditions such as ulcers and
diabetes have also been treated
with aloe; there are no definitive
clinical studies to prove aloe's
effectiveness in treating these


conditions.
There are more than 200
species of aloe plants, but only a
few contain the substances that
are used medically- aloe vera
barbadensis and aloe vera linne.
Before making any change to
your diet or exercise plan, consult
your doctor. This is especially
important if you are on any pre-
scription drugs. Some drugs
interact badly with foods that
would otherwise be considered
"healthy,"
