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 ies)I:,tnelin it 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 help.

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.

Juniors honored for FCAT scores Power plant could enhance community Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, September 21, 2006 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. Weddings Rawls Hair Crystal Lenae Hair and Billy Joe Rawls were joined in mar- riage on Saturday, July 22, 2006.

"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 is also available online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov. 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: September 23 Green cleaning event at Whole Foods Market, 1989 Aloma Avenue, Winter Park, 10am-2pm.

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 beans with chilies 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese --shredded 3,,4 cup mild, medium, or hot salsa (your favorite jarred vari- 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.

Florida Press 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.

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.

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 - - I Save money on your favorite grocery items. ,/ I I Go to neszap corn to clovnloac and prnn coupons online' i .

September 21. 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee 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- S," M a t - "Copyrighted Material] 0 Syndicated ContentlW. | Available from Commercial News Providers" Okeechooee News/Archives 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.

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, dead-351; buried at Port Mayaca - 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.

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. all unclaimed funds to the Com- munity Service Fund for the pro- motion of Lifeline service.

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 body language convey his admi- ration and thanks to the teachers. "Our teachers love their slu- 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. Continued From Page 1 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." newsZap com * W Community Links. Individual Voices. LockiIn a great rate.

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.

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- daShrimp.com web site which features shrimp recipes and indus- try facts and statistics.

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. , Aquatic plants brochure available litrifiQ B i a acreage Cornuni.LOins Co mnt Links.

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. Home Sweet Homes NeedN A Loan Sweet Loan a [l&l ad I I *Tl a -~d.

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 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IFAS EXTENSION 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 "I was Impressed by the caring nurses and the time they were able to give me." - patient survey response We invite you to take a closer look at Glades General Hospital.

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- lands County, has also begun age 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." SGo to newszap.com to download and print coupons online!

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.

Jesus, being confronted with this poil(enial trap, asked them "What do you want me to do for you?" and they told Him "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory 4 % (Mark 10:35ff)." Jesus told them --. that they didn't know what they were ask- ing, and then John went on to ask Hicks them "Can you drink of the cup I drink, or be bap- tized with the baptism I am bap- tized with?" and they answered "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 (Mark 10:43-44)."

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- vant theywere meant to be.

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.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, September 21, 2006 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 Healthier Life 4 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," 1724 Caloosa Estates Court LaBelle, FL Thi Lcu'tom-built pool home constructed in 200-4 featuress high soar- il. ,' ceilrii2s, Silestone countertop., tile floor- .. .- .ing, fireplace, a mainte- nance tree metal roof -.ith over 3300 square 5 '<. teeth under truss.
