Power Plant will rely on water


By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
GLADES COUNTY:,-Glades
County residents are hearing a lot
about the proposed $3 billion
power plant that has leaders and
community members staring
face-to-face into the future.
But how will it work?
The proposed Glades Power
Park would be acoal-fired power
plant that creates steam to turn a
turbine and run an electrical gen-
erator, only on a magnificent


scale. FPL plans to use a closed-
cooling water System that will
cool the steam used to generate
electricity.
The cooling system continu-
ously re-circulates and re-uses its
own water supply, thereby mini-
mizing water usage. However,
because of evaporation, the
water would need to be restored
using excess storm water, and
the Upper Floridan Aquifer.
Potentially. the excess storm
water, or surface water will be
withdrawn from the C-19 canal


and/or the C-43 canal, which is
better known as the Caloosa-
hatchee River. The water that
enters these canals comes from
Lake Okeechobee and the C-43
drainage basin. FPL will work
with South Florida Water Man-
agement District in planning the
use of discharge from the big
lake.
If surface water is unavailable
from the canal system, then
water could be withdrawn from
the Upper Floridan Aquifer. FPL
could pump non-potable brack-


ish groundwater from the
aquifer, w which is 1,400 feet below
ground level.
There is also the potential irt
use reclaimedowater if a source is
available that has the quality and
quantity required. Also, storm
water that has been captured
onsile could be used.
FPL \llII use on-site storage
basins that are double-lined to
safeguard groundwater and sur-
face water. All water that i uns off
from the basins will be accumu-
lated and stored in a lined pond


and processed for reuse within
the plant. The plant will also uti-
lize an advanced leak detection
s stem and a groundwater moni-
toring network.
FPL will hold public meetings
in Glades County so residents
can make comments and ask
questions about safety and the
environment, an issue sore iesi-
dents have been vocal about
understanding The OrtonaCom-
munity Association planned to

MUSE The summer
storm gathered all its fury at
first light, leaving us, animals
and people alike, floating. Dur-
ing the day it eased up just
enough to give us hope that
we wouldn't be struck with
more than a rainy season del-
uge.
In early afternoon during
one of the "let up" periods I
went to the pasture just to see
what I could see. Being in a
direct path of south Florida's
"sheet flow" I wasn't at all sure
how far I could walk, even
with boots. Nevertheless, after
crawling through the barbed
wire and walking in a south-
westerly direction, it was per-
fectly clear that the pasture
and "we" were all.but floating.
Danny and Dolly, the don-
keys, were huddled together


2006 is storm's
80th anniversary

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
CLEWISTON Eighty years
have passed since the Hurricane
of 1926 flooded the town of
Moore Haven. It washed water
out of Lake Okeechobee as if
the lake was a giant, shallow
bowl.
Nettie Howard was 11 years
old at the time. Her father, Berry
Stewart, farmed tomatoes,
cucumbers and beans at their
home site about six miles south
of town off U.S. 27. She reminds
younger people that the only
way her family could tell a
storm was coming was by visu-
al observation of the weather.
On Sept. 22, Nettie Howard
and other hurricane survivors
gathered at the Clewiston Muse-
um to share their stories. They

oaks where there was at least a
modicum of protection. I gave
each one a treat I.banana peel-
ings and bread) and waded my
way back to the house.
Later when going for the
mail in the truck, I saw Danny
all by himself simply standing
and staring in the direction
where I'd see him and Dolly
earlier. Rain was coming down
in torrents.
Immediately I thought:
"She must be giving birth to
her baby, Dixie." But then I
wondered about Danny not
being with her. Since they
came to Grassy Run they'd
never been apart, but then I
had to admit to myself that my
knowledge of donkeys is slight
at best, yet I felt that some-
thing had gone awry.
Upon returning to the
house I called the man who
tends the cattle and told him
that I was worried. He came

Army Corps of Engineers.
"Back then we did not have
the information like we have
nowadays," said Ms. Howard.
"It had been windy and rainy
and cloudy for two or three
days. Well the next thing we
knew here was the hurricane
full force."
There were five people at Ms.
Howard's home, including
Stanley Stern, a teenager from
Moore Haven who helped with
the farm labor. The one-room
wooden house was knocked off
its blocks and the lean-to
kitchen was separated from the
frame. The lake water did not
reach her family's farm; howev-
er, about one foot of rain water
was around the house, which
had been built on a mound.
Stanley Stern and her father
left the next morning to check
on Stern's family in town. They

immediately because he's that
kind of man. If anything was
wrong in his cattle world he
wanted to know it. A short
time later I met him on the
road. He was obviously upset
because he'd been to the pas-
ture and had found Doll--
not birthing her baby but
standing under the oak tree
trembling so she could hardly
stand.
She had been ruthlessly
attacked by wild dogs and was
badly wounded with a gaping
bleeding hole on her head and
a major part of her hindquar-
ters chewed beyond recogni-
tioni He had put her in his trail-
er and was on the way to the
vet to try to save her.
But it was too late.
She and Baby Dixie died
together three days later. In
thinking about the awfulness
of what happened, we have

CREW making strides towards recovery


bit. I do think that in general, time
will be a big factor in adjustment
for your new pet, however there
are a few things I think you can do
to help.
What your dog needs is slow
consistent socializing with peo-
ple. Aggression can be associated
with fear and insecurity. Since
your home is this dog's fourth
home, security is definitely some-
thing this dog really needs. You
and your family will have to be
very reassuring to this pet on a
very consistent basis. This dog
needs a lot of time and commit-
-ment. Take him out walking often,
and comfort him when around
others so that he will start to feel
more at ease. It may be that you
may never completely change this
dog's character, but I do think you
can make a difference.
Hope that helps,
DocSavvy.

CREW staff and volunteers are
busy and things are happening
quickly. As you read about all the
activities going on, let me tell you
about a couple of needs we have. I
pray that you may be able to help
us discover a way to meet those
needs. We are growing fast and
this comes with added expense.
1. The city has donated an old
truck for us. However, we must
now pay for tag and title as well as
insurance.
2. Our first rebuild has about
$3,000 left in costs, not to mention
the need for flooring as well.
3. We have found the way to
pay for one and a half roofs thanks
to the Rotary Club (we are expect-
ing their check any day) but still
need to find funding for the other
half of the roof.
We provided the community
with information about CREW in
Moore Haven at the County's Hur-
ricane Information Day a couple
weekends a nd in Clewiston at
their weekend event marking the
anniversary of the devastating
storm in the 1929,
We had a volunteer group in
this past weekend from Palm Har-


bor, here for their fourth time.
They are already planning their
return in October. There are lots
of things happening with poten-
tial volunteers!
Our Cape Coral group, which
has also been here several times, is
coming back in late October as
well. Both these groups are
Methodists and we appreciate
UMCOR for promoting us and
telling people about the wonderful
volunteer experience they have to
look forward to here!
We are also expecting a group
from Mannassas, Md., from Nov.
12, to Nov. 17.
This group will have six volun-
teers who will need lodging at one
of the churches, the others in the
group are bringing RV's and some
others want to stay in a Hotel (at

You really can't expect to 'organize' all your clutter


Why is that we feel we have to
hold on to everything. This stuff is
suffocating our creativity and
holding us back from what we are
really supposed to be doing. It is
so hard to clean house when you
have clutter everywhere'
Anything can become clutter
when you don't use it, don't love it
and you don't have a place for it.
We collect things because we think
we may need them one day. All this
does clog up our homes and our
lives. That clutter becomes a stum-
bling block to our daily routines. It
gets in the way of living. We
become the caretaker of stuff
instead of living our lives. We have
a choice; our houses can become
a museum, a landfill or a home!


Three times a, year we do a
Super 'ling Bodgie. This is when
we focus on gettifig rid of our clut-
ter. You can fling any time you
want to. You don't have to wait for
our Super Fling Boogies. You can
do a 27 Fling Boogie each day to
gradually eliminate your clutter.
This is a fun way of releasing your
clutter.
Grab a grocery bag and run
through your home and gather up
27 pieces of trash to throw away.
Then put the bag in the trash can
and don't look in it. Next grab a
bag or box and run through your
home searching for things to give
away. The key word here is run.
Do not think hard about this.
When you think too long on clut-


ter it will convince \ou that it has
to stall' After you have collected 27
items to give to a thrift store then
go put the bag into your car to
donate next time you are out.
You have messed in your clut-
ter for years. It has dominated
your every waking moment. You
have tried to sort it, box it up, put it
in plastic tubs, cram it into closets,
fill up the garage and you have
even rented rooms for your clut-
ter! It has stolen your money,
robbed you of your time and put
your life in chaos! Why? All
because you thought you might
need it one day!
Then when you do need it;
could you actually find it in all your
pretty silk boxes, plastic tubs and


tilled to o erIlo(wing closets? \We
haie all been at this poirt in cOij
lives; looking for one item that we
have put in a safe place. This is
when all those boxes, tubs and
closets throw up all over your
cutesy organized clutter. We
spend our lives looking for things
in the mass of clutter.
Aren't you tired of these end-
less searches? If you learn nothing
else from me, I hope that these
words will stick with you. You
can't organize clutter; you can
only get rid of it. Spend a few min-
utes each day flinging your clutter.
Join us three times a year for a

'Festival Latino' a smashing success


PAHOKEE On Saturday,
Sept. 16, the First Festival Latino
was held at the Pahokee Recre-
ation Field. The days activities fea-.
tured a men's soccer tournament,
a health fair, live entertainment, a
DJ, children's activities and
venders specializing in Mexican
food. Mariachi Pancho Villa and
Islay Javier Rodriquez a classical
guitarist also performed.
According to Maria Gonzales
of the Rural Christian Migrant
Association, "The event was a
huge success from the soccer
game, to the health fair, to the
entertainment and children's
activities, it was very well
planned. I have been receiving
calls from all over the area; every-
one had so much fun they want to
have more of these events, And
people from other areas have
been calling to learn how to put
on the same type of event in their
area. It really put Pahokee on the
map as a cultural center for the
Mexican community here in the
Glades. We are grateful to Mr.
Reed and the others who helped
plan and sponsor the event. We
want to be more involved in plan-
ning the Second Annual Festival
Latino because it really brought
the Mexican community togeth-
er."
Terri Calsetta Director of Com-
munity and Patient Relations for
Glades General Hospital com-
mented, "For a first year event we
think it was pretty successful we
had a good crowd all day and
over 300 people attended the
Health Fan."
The soccer tournament pitted
four teams, two from Belle G(.lade
and one each from Paliokee ind
Clewiston. The championship
was contested by Clewiston and
Belle Glade and played in a driv-
ing rain with lightening circling
the field But quit" No way!
Clewiston won the title game on
penalty kicks when Belle Glade
tniled nn their final attempt.
According to Maria Gonzalez,
"The soccer tournament was
such a success that plans dre
underway to form a league."
Early in the afternoon Festival
sponsor's provided a free meal to
everyone in attendance and six-
teen bicycles were given away
during the day. According to evw nt
coordinator Terry Reed of the
Pahoker- Beacon Center, "The
best part was that families could
come and spend the day, get free
health screenings and informa-
tion, free entertainment, a tree
meal and the opportunity towin a
free bicycle. Watching some of
the little kids get so excited to win

'a bicycle actually brought a tear to
my eye."
However Mr. Reed quickly
credited others on the planning
committee.
"Planning this event was like
trying to hit a moving target.
Believe me, I had many sleepless
nights! I was lucky to have Terri
Calsetta helping, without her help'
the outcome would not have
'been as successful. There were
others that helped make this
event possible, Elizabeth Caysoni
from the Health Care District,
Father John Mericantante, Maria
Gonzalez of RCMA and many,
many others. These are some of
the movers and shakers behind
the scenes that make things hap-
pen out here in the Glades," stat-
ed Mr. Reed.
Sponsors of the event incluid-
ed, The Community Partnership
Group's Pahokee Beacon Center,
St. Mary Catholic Churc i of Pilho-
kee and Glades General Hospital,
the Health Care District of Palm
Btich Connty. Children'. Services
Council's Family and Community

belt sponsors will begin prepara-.
tions soon for next year's event.

When asked what changes might
be planned Mr. Reed was quick to
reply, "I think waiting for the end
of the rainy season, more local
performers and getting more
community input are three issues
that immediately stand out; but
we will get everyone together and
have a meeting to discuss %what
worked well and what might


need to be changed or
improved."

FPL to gather opinions at open house


JUNO BEACH Florida Power
& Light Company announced on
Sept. 25, its' plan to host a series of
open house events in several loca-
tions in an effort to share informa-
tion and collect community com-
ments about its proposal to build a
state-of-the-art, advanced technol-
ogy coal power generating plant in
Glades County with associated
transmission facilities to be located
in Hendry County. These events are
an opportunity for the company to
personally share its plans for the
FPL Glades Power Park project
with interested community mem-
bers as well as hear about their
interests and priorities.
FPL has scheduled a series of
open houses for community mem-
bers to speak one-on-one with
project team members, share
ideas, learn about the project, and
view maps of the proposed site as
well as potential transmission line
routes. Community members are
invited to attend at their conven-
ience, as no formal presentation is
planned for any of the meetings. To
ensure a convenient date, time and
location for members of the com-


munity to attend one of the identi-
cal open house activities, FPL will
host them as follows:
Monday, Oct. 2, between 4-8
p.m. in the Doyle Conner Building
located at 900 South U.S. Hwy. 27
in Moore Haven.
Tuesday, Oct. 3, between 4-8
p.m. at the John Boy Auditorium
located at 1300 S.W Owens
Avenue in Clewiston.
Thursday, Oct. 5th, between 4-8
p.m. at the LaBelle Civic Center
located at 481 Hwy. 80 West in
LaBelle.
"At FPL we consider meeting
and communicating with our com-
munities in Glades and Hendry
counties an essential part of this
process," said Grover Whidden,
external affairs manager, for FPL.
"We promise to share information
and maintain an open dialogue
throughout the process."
The company is making the
investment in new power genera-
tion to meet the growing demand
for electricity and to maintain safe
and reliable service for the future.
The 1,960-megawatt plant
(two 980-megawatt generating
units) is planned to be built within


a 5,000 acre site approximately
five miles northwest of Moore
Haven. The first advanced tech-
nology generating unit is planned
to be in operation in 2012, and the
second in 2013.
The two units combined will
serve more than 650,000 homes
throughout FPLs service territory.
FPL's selection of an advanced
technology coal plant is to address
a need, also recognized by the
Florida Public Service Commis-
sion, for greater fuel diversity to
ensure a reliable supply of electrici-
ty for the future while utilizing
lower cost fuels.
The power plant will be accom-
panied by a new electric substation
in Hendry County and transmission
lines to connect to the state's ener-
gy grid.
Interested members of the com-
munity unable to attend the open
house events can still stay informed
by visiting www.FPL.com/glade-
spower, calling 1-888-256-2206 or
sending an email to Grover_Whid-
den@fpl.com or

Another life for the


Cypress Knee Museum


By Barbara Oehibeck
ieial io the Glades
''1ounii ,' I) mor ta
Out of the dahes of yesterday,
it's entirely possible that the
Cypress Knee Museum, Palmdale,
will rise again and become a mag-
net for Glades County citizens and
tourists alike.
Since 1951, when the Museum
first op-ned a bit south of the
entrance ot Fishoalting Creek. it's
been kn._'.in far and wide as one-
ol-a-kind. Hard times fell not only
on the museum and the artifacts it
housed but on the area itself. No\\.
however. it seems as though the
III It ma turn and the late Tom
i ,-.I.in s'dl earmn il li ve again.
According to Dr. Harris Frieda
F-iman, who is devoted to the Muse-
umn's restoi altin, there are reasons
for high hopes that the project will
receive a grant from Florida's
Department oi Historical
Resources for the renovation and
eventual reopening. Applications
11' grants from the DHR this ear
numbered 129. Out of this batch of
oi.,plications, the Cypress Knee
Muieeun ranked 3.i
The way in which the funding is
accomplished is this: it goes
through the legislature which
appropriates a certain amount for
this special category. Every year it's
different. If there's an abundance of
money in the state legisialuie the
state will award more funding, in


ean yart'-. less, ofi-ourse.
"the way the funding is deter
mined depends on how much is it
the lund," said Dr. friedman. "Foi
instance, last year the top .1'J were
funded. Therefore, I reason, that
being ranked 30 means that the
chances are excellent that the
Cypress Knee Museum will be
awarded their grant tl iatl was applied
for in the amount of $322,000. But I
hasten to say that this is not set in
concrete that is, not yet."
If approved, the money can be
used as eat ly as next year.
"The full amount 11as applied
for and the !ull amount was recom-
mended," said Dr. Friedman "If
everything goes through as
planned the funding will begin as
of July ,2007.
"Naturally, there will be meet-
ings of the Save Our Creeks Foun-
dation.to organize to make best use
of the mone., to get the building
adequately and appropriately
restored and the museum re-
opened. Save Our Creeks is a local
non-profit organization that suc-
cessfully fought to keep Fisheating
Creek open to the public, and now
holds a 50-yeard lease for the
Cypress Knee Museum.
He remains optimistic.
"It is my hope and the hope of
the members of Save Our Creeks
that citizens of the county will
become active, step forward and
help in making this an historical
landmark in Glades County."

Don'l you think it's time we qui the
soda lhabit and help take a million
or so gallons of this stuff off the
market so we can get healthier,
leaner, stronger, ha'e better teeth
and prettier skin? Those are just
some of the benefits b3 quitting the
soda habit.
It's time to drink up-make
mine water!

Super fishing tournament proves the largest so far


By Chris Fickey
CLEWISTON The Super-
Bucks Bass Tournament held in
Clewiston, on Lake Okeechobee
Sunday Sept. 24, was attended
by 103 teams fishing for the
$10,000 grand prize. This was an
extremely competitive tourna-
ment with 48 teams weighing in
fish. There were 22 cash prizes
and trophies awarded totaling
over $34,000. This tournament
had the largest participation of
anglers of any event since Janu-
ary on Lake Okeechobee,
The tournament was spon-
sored by the Hendry County


Tourist Development Council,
the Clewiston Chamber of Com-
merce, Roland and Maryann
Martin's Marina, Scott Martin's
Anglers Marina, Jolly Rogers
Marina, Gambler-Bang Lures,
Storm Boats, Clewiston KOA
Campground, Charlie's Worms
and Collier Business Systems.
The organizer for the event was
Shannon, Stephen & Cole Pro-
motions, Inc (S & S Promotions)
of Bradenton. S & S Promotions
has been hosting the BASS
BUSTERS Team Tournaments
every month in Clewiston for the
last 16 years with this being the
largest event so far.


A special thanks goes out to
all the members of the Bass
Busters staff for all their help and
support.
The first place team of Steve
Meszaros and JC Gibson of
Royal Palm and West Palm
Beach, respectively, had an over-
all winning weight with 5 fish of
22.47 lbs. This took the $10,000
prize and a new broom for mak-
ing a "Clean Sweep". Great job
guys.
The second place overall
team and the winner of the first
place Big Bass award was the
team of Steven Yeatts and Keith
Feron of West Palm Beach. They


weighed in three fish totaling
19.96 pounds overall and the
biggest bass weighing in at 9.71
pounds. This awarded them
cash and prizes of over $6,000.
The third place team overall
and the Second Place Big Bass
winners was the team of Jimmy
McMillian of Belle Glade and
Carmen Patti of Davie. Their
over weight of 17.33 pounds
won them cash of $4,000 and
the second place big bass
weighing in at 8.64 pounds,
earned them another $500 cash.
Fourth place overall was the
team of Ken Fitton of Loxahatch-
ee and Stephen Lee of Palm


Tiger golf team gets the ball rolling


After two weeks of rain outs
and cancellations, the Tiger golf
team got its' season under way.
The Tigers are being led this year
by junior state, finalist Brandon
Pena, Pena and his teammates

Course on Sept. 12, against the


Glades Day Gators and Morning-
side Academy of Port St. Lucie. In
a close battle, the Tigers came
away with two more wins to up
their season record to 3-2. Team
scores for the day were Clewis-
ton-178, Morningside-180 and
Glades Day-190. Top golfers for
the Tigers were Brandon Pena,
James Miracle, Justin Cotton, and
JoshAdams.
With the Tigers riding a win-
ning streak of three matches, they
played host to the Labelle Cow-
boys and Moore Haven Terriers
The Clewiston Country Club
proved to be a nice home course
advantage to the Tiger Pride with
two more victories. The Tigers
beat up on their opponents by
scores of Clewiston-190, Labelle-

Tiger medalist for the match was
a much-improved Josh Adams
with a nice score of 39. Josh \\as
followed by ktammates Justin
Cotton, Jared Bacallao, and Matt
Ashton.
The Tiger golfers appeared to


be primed and ready to go for the
Crutchfield/Hawkins State Invita-
tional in Sebring on Sept. 18. The
Tigers finished a disappointing
10th last year in a "flight" of 12
teams and had high hopes of a
better outcome at this year's
event. The Tigers played among a
field of 36 teams from as far away
as Jacksonville and Pensacola.
There were also several state
qualifiers on an individual level as
well as team qualifiers. This year's
tournament was played at the
Sun-N-Lake country club of
Sebring on two different courses.
The Tigers played on Turtle Run
golf course with the rest of their
15 team "flight."
Brandon Pena out classed the
field by shooting the best score of
the day on the Turtle Run course
by a 2-shot victory over his near-
est competitor from Indian Rocks
High School. Brandon had a 1-
under par 71 on the day. James
Miracle played a fine round of 5-
over par at 77 in the tournament.
The rest of the Tiger golf team at


the event included Justin Cotton,
Josh Adams, and Steven Westber-
ry. The team played well enough
to finish sixth out of 15 teams and
only 13 shots out of the lead from
the first place team of Lakeland
Christian, a top team at last year's
FHSAA state tournament.
The Fighting Tigers are having
a good year at this point of the
season as they prepare for the dis-
trict tournament. "This is the
most competitive Tiger golf team
Cle%% islon has had in a long time,"
stated Coach Mike Kemp. "We
have a great chance of sending a
team to the regional tourna-
ment," he said.
The 2006 Tiger golf team con-
sists of the following players:
James Miracle, senior; Josh
Adams, senior; Justin Cotton, sen-
ior; Jared Bacallao, senior; Jade
Weiss, senior; Brandon Pena, jun-
ior; Steven Westberry, junior; Tim
Burke, sophomore; Matt Ashton,
sophomore; Kyle Jones, fresh-
man; and Jose Cardenas, fresh-
man.

TALLAHASSEE A new Flori-
da law goes into effect Oct. 1,
allowing licensed drivers to oper-
ate an ATV in daylight hours on
unpaved count) and state desig-
nated roadways where the posted
speed limit is less than 35 miles
per hour. Ho\\ ever, on most state
forests, unpaved forest roads are
riot included as they are no} con-
sideied public roads or streets as
defined b\ Florida Statutes.
"Di\ision of Forestry (DOF)
currently has a rule that only
allows for the operation of off-
highway vehicles in areas desig-
nated specifically for the activity"
said Mike Long, Director of the
DOF. "We understand that OHV
(off-highw'ay vehicle) riding is a
growing outdoor recreation activ-
ity in Florida and there is a need
for places for people to legally
ride, but not every forest road, is
suited foi this activity. Like any
recreational trail activity it needs
to be carefully planned with ade-
quate safeguards to protect Flori-
da's natural systems and riders."
The Florida DOF, which man-
ages over one million acres of
public lands within 33 state
forests, currently has two areas
designated for ATV and off-high-
way motorcycle riding. Croom
Motorcycle Area, located in With-
lacoochee State Forests near
Brooksville, is a designated 2,800
acre riding park that has been
open to the public for nearly 30

Hunting opportunities expand


Small game hunters eager to
test their skills this fall have sev-
eral new opportunities with the
opening of three South Florida
Water Management District
areas to recreational hunting.
The District Governing Board
recently approved the opening
of public small game hunting
areas in Allapattah Flats in Mar-
tin County, Rocky Glades in
Miami-Dade County and at the
C-23/24 Reservoir project site in
St. Lucie County.
Hunting for hogs, rabbits,
quail, squirrel, waterfowl and
migratory birds will be allowed
at these sites under Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission rules and Florida laws.
"We are committed to mak-
ing the wonderful natural
resources entrusted to the Dis-
trict available for public use -
from jilirik and bird watching,
to ;iii," said Fred Davis,
Division Director for Land Stew-
ardship at the District.
The D! ,triclt '-. rn opening
more lands for recreational use
in 2004, in response to increas-
ing public interest in outdoor
activities on such lands.
The largest site, Allapattah
Flats, is expected to become a
permanent wildlife manage-
ment area in 2007 ensuring that


hunting can continue on the
land for years to come. The
Rocky Glades and the C-23/24
Reservoir project sites are due to
be used for future District water
management projects so hunt-
ing might not become a perma-
nent feature, but the District
wanted to expand recreational
opportunities at the sites in the
meantime.
Each of the new hunting sites
is likely to appeal to hunters for
different reasons, said Jen
Williams, Public Hunt Areas
Biologist for the FWC's West
Palm Beach Regional Office.
At Allapattah Flats, an area
with almost 21,000 acres open
to hunting, the biggest attrac-
tions are likely to be hogs and a
special opportunity dove hunt-
ing field west of Fox Brown
Road.
"The dove field is in a higher,
drier location than it has been in
past years so it should attract
more doves," said Ms. Williams.
"It was specifically moved for
that reason."
Doves are also expected to
be the primary draw at the C-
23/24 Reservoir project site and
at Rocky Glades, but both areas
may be good for waterfowl
hunting too. There is an existing
40-acre pond and many canals


included within the boundary of
the reservoir project site that
may attract waterfowl. The west
side of Rocky Glades gets fairly
wet and teal have been seen
there. These two areas follow
the statewide season for migra-
tory bird hunting, Williams
added.
Throughout the District,
there are about 633,000 acres of
land where bird hunting, small
game hunting, or large game
hunting opportunities are avail-
able. A partial list includes the
Kissimmee River Valley Public
Use Area in Osceola, Okee-
chobee, Polk, Highlands and
Glades counties, Dupuis Man-
agement Area in Palm Beach
and Martin counties, Stormwa-
ter Treatment Area 5 in Hendry
County, and Corkscrew Region-
al Ecosystem Watershed
(CREW) Wildlife and Environ-
mental Area in Lee County.
For additional information
about small game hunting and
bird hunting, and hunting licens-
es, contact the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commis-
sion at (850) 488-4676, or visit

operation
another riding area in Tate's Hell
State Forest near Carrabelle, offer-
ing the public over 150 miles of
designated trails for off-highway
vehicle riding.
"The Division of Forestry is
currently assisting the state in
finding more areas for people to
legally ride by oeLseeirng the T.,,
Mark Smith Off-High\va\ Vehicle
Safety and Recreation program
which was enacted by Florida leg-
islature in 2002," Mike Long
added. "Every level of govern-
ment needs to be involved and
help find new places for this
growing activity". There is cur-
rently a Florida OHV Recreation
Advisory Committee made up of
agency representative and off-

Changing U.S. sugar program hurts?


ASHEVILLE, N.C. Eliminat-

L -lwl would not benefit every-
da\ consumers through ioter
product prices, according to a
sugar price survey released last
week by the American Sugar
Alliance at the 23rd International
Sweetener Symposium.
"Scrapping sugar policy will
not help grocery shoppers; it
would just enrich a handful of

cluded.
The surx\e looked at poten-
tial price changes for various
sweetened products, such as
candy and ice cream, if sugar
prices dropped by 10 percent or'
even 10t) percent.
A 72-cent candy bar with
almonds, for example, would
cost 71.9 cents if sugar were 10

farmers gave food manufactur-
ers the sugar for free. Such sav-
ings would be too small to even
pass along to consumers, said
the American Sugar Alliance.
And even those miniscule
price drops "assume that indus-
trial sugar users would pass
every penny of sugar price sav-
ings along to consumers," the
survey reads. "History has
shown that this is not how candy
companies, wholesalers, and
retailers operate they keep
the savings and continue to
increase their product prices
with inflation."
Price comparisons between
sugary products and identical
sugar-free products were also
used to show how inconsequen-
tial sugar is to a product's price.
The report showed that sugar-
free ice cream and many candy
products are priced identically to

parts.
Lobbyists for largetfood mar-
iitacturers are pushing Congress
to gut the existing U.S. sugar pro-
gram in hopes of reducing the
price they pay for sugar. They
contend that this will boost con-
sumption.
"Considering kitty litter costs
more per pound than sugar, it's
highly unlikely that a 43-cent-
per-pound retail price or a 30-
cent-per-pound wholesale price
is acting as a restrictive price bar-
rier that's blocking sugar con-
sumption," the American Sugar
Alliance's price survey quipped.
Sugar producers are asking-
Congress to extend the current
sugar program. Its supporters
tout the program for operating at
no cost to taxpayers, generating
some of the most affordable
sugar prices in the developed
world, and boosting America's
food security.


Hickman Howard, Nettie's
future husband, was a commer-
cial fisherman. He was out on the
water with his cousin when the
storm blew across the big lake.
He later told her the waves had
been 15 to 20 feet high. His boat's
rudder became damaged and the
fishing boat tossed around until it
later settled up against a canal
bank. He had to wait there for a
full day before another boat came
by and picked him up.
Ms. Howard is 92 now, and
lives in Sebring. Looking back,
she recalled that her father was

Gray, who participated in the expe-
dition, commented hat, "We often
lak' things around u. tot granted,
,Ind in Glades Count,' that includes
spectacular natural areas and birds.
I was really glad that the Marge-
son's organized the count, as like
Tany visitors to our area, they were
'blown away' by what they found.
"Our unique bird life is why the
GladesHendry County Economic
DEvelopment Councils and coop-
eralors have organized the annual
Big 0 bird festival over the last fe\v
years," said Dr Gray "Most folks
don't know how many special
birds can be found here and we
want to publicize this unique habi-
tat to attract eco-tourists."
Florida is proving ,a suitable


habitat for the birds.
"Birds corning to, or through
Florida, originate from as far north
as the Arctic Circle, and as far west
as Alaska," said Dr. Gray. For
neotropical migrants (some 250
species). Florida is the last fueling
point before crossing the Gulf of
Mexico, and the place they must
recover from that flight on their
way back north. Because of Flori-
da's location, the concentration
effect ol birds, and the importance
of birds finding ample food sup-
plies %while migrating, it is not an
exaggeration to say that the Florida
bird habitat has great importance
to the bird populations of South
and North America, as well as the
Caribbean Islands."
However, Dr. Gray's insight into
recording and studying bird migra-
tory habits also has a significant
correlation to the human species.
"Birds can be more important in
ecosystems than many. people
realize. Scientists Marquis and
Whelen (1994) put bird-proof
cages over trees in a Missouri for-
est arid found that those trees
de eloped insect infestations that
removed 25 percent of their leaves
(as compared with 13 percent of
leaves out in the open). This extra
loss was sufficient to slow the
growth of those trees."
"If we as Floridians do not do
our part to protect birds, it will
affect silvicultural (and other
kinds tf agriculture) over eastern
North America, South America,
and the Caribbean," said Dr. Gray.
"Recent declines in North Ameri-
can birds are attributed partly to
the deterioration of bird habitats
in breeding, wintering, and
migratot areas (Terboirgh 1992).
Protecting the ecological integrity
of Lake Oikeechobee and South
Florida is critical."

Gilbert Theater: Our window on the world


By MaiyAnn Morris
INI Florida
OKEECHOBEE Saturday
afternoons for the children of
Okeechobee meant just one
thing: going to the Gilbert The-
ater on Park Avenue for the Sat-
urday matinee. This is a tradition
I can identify with because Sat-
urday matinees featured large in
my growing up as well.
"It was our window on the
% world said Betty' W illiamson. "1
remember watching the Three
Stooges. We lived about a mile
from the theater, so I never did
get to sit By the time I got there,
the theater was always full of
town kids. I made my mind up
that one time I'd get to sit, but I
never did. It was worth standing
to have that fun with all your
friends every Saturda%."
Merle Hendry moved here
from Ft Pierce tvhenshe was 16.
and liked that everyone was
everyone's friend.
"No matter: seniors were
friends v ith freshmen. It just did-
n't matter. I thought that was
nice," she said. "I remember
going tothe Gilbert Theater, the
ran who took the tickets name
was Honey Lawson. What I
remember is the serial movies:
one Saturday the cowboy was
hanging off the cliff \\nohe it
ended and you'd have to come
back the next week to see what
happened There he'd be, mirac-
ulously back up on the clift
"1 worked for Gilbert and the
night before the big Christmas
show, we'd bag up candy, nuts
and al, orange Ior each one of
the children."
"Wc'd take back pop bottles
for two cents each and get
enough money for the show,
% which I think was ten cents then
and ma% be a bdg of popcorn,
that whs five cents," recalled
Dozier Clements. "There were

of western movies, .:,nd scary
movies! I hid my ey es during the

Running your 'spiritual gas tank' on empty is risky


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
"Don't we need gas?"
For years I've heard those words
from my wife for as, we were driv-
ing along. Translated, it means that
the fuel gauge was indicating a
level lower than she was comfort-
able with. Asif I didn't know the
fuel gauge was nearing the empty
mark! Of course, I knew. The red
refuel indicator light wasn't even
showing bright yet. Kathy likes to
add gas if the level goes below the
quarter tank level. I don't. Why stop
sooner than you have to?
Don't get me wrong [ am not


a fan of an empty gas tank. In col-
lege my brother and I shared a car
which he habit-
ually left just
enough gas in
to get to the gas
station -
maybe! I can't
tell you the
number of
times I stressed
out wondering
if he had left me John
enough fumes Hicks
in the tank to
make it to the closest gas station. In
all truthfulness, I ha% e to admit that
I myself have at times created a


stressful situation by waiting for a
better gas price or going a "few
more miles" while flirting with an
empty fuel tank. Actually, and don't
tell my wife I admit this, but it really
isn't very smart to keep driving with
a tank that's almost on empty.
Sooner or later you are going to
miscalculate and run out of gas.
We can apply this truth to our
spiritual gas tanks as well. It isn't
smart to try to keep going full
steam ahead on a tank that's
almost on empty. We need to take
time to refuel. If we don't, we risk
running dr\ and conking ut.L
The contrast between going
and refueling is illustrated in Luke_


10:38-42. It talks about two sisters,
Mary and Martha, who opened
their home to Jesus. Here's the pic-
ture: Mary is spending time with
Jesus; Martha is doing tasks for
Jesus. Martha was distracted by all
the preparations, and wasn't
happy with her sister. Martha
came to Jesus and asked, "Lord,
don't you care that my sister has
left me to do the work by myself?
Tell her to help me!"
Jesus clearly shows which is
more important to Him. He replies,
"Martha, Martha, you are worried
and upset about many things, but
only one thing is needed. Mary has
chosen what is better and it will not


be taken from her."
Ironic as it is, it's often the tasks
we're trying to do for Jesus that
keep us from spending the time
with Jesus we need. Let me suggest
this: Work for Jesus, as noble as it is,,
can pull us away from our time with
Jesus. It is at such times we risk run-,
ning but of gas spiritually.
We are supposed to be building
His Kingdom, but in many ways,
that's secondary. Of first impor-
tance is our time spent sitting at the
feet of our Lord, listening to Him
and letting Him fill our tants \\ith
His lose and His \\brd. \\e need to
be with Him to make sure that
%\ hat we're doing is actually what


Christ wants to be doing through
us. Jesus is basically saying, "Sit at
My feet before you start running
around on yours."
It's not always convenient to
stop for a fill-up when I'm doing
all that I do. My tendency is to
keep on going. But the result if I
don't refuel is greater stress and
eventually being forced to shut
down completely.
How about you? Are you run-
ning on empty? You will enjoy the
drive a whole lot more if you stop
for a fresh refill each morning bou
know what else? The people \\ho
ride with you will enjoy \ou a lot
more as well'


Cutting the cord: a parable about butterflies


By Rev. Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph.D.+
Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston
It is obvious that Jesus was inde-
pendent sort of character. We hear
little about His early life except that
He went up to the temple about the
time he would have been received
as a member of the congregation
(age 12 or so) and then stayed
behind because He was discussing
with the scholars and teachers. He
was chided by His parents for stay-
ing behind and not telling anyone
where He was: being lost in the
conversations that took place and
amazed the high-priced boys in
charge (Luke 2:41 ff).
He later leaves home, starts
preaching and sharing parables
"traveling from one town and vil-
lage to another...and the twelve
were with Him (Luke 8)." As He
was teaching, someone told Him
that His mother and brothers had
come to see Him (verse 20) and
He answered, "My mother and
brothers are those who hear God's
word and put it into practice."
Evidently, Jesus had "cut the
cord" and struck out on His own.
That independent streak which
foreshadowed itself at His visit to
the temple earlier comes out
throughout His ministry; the Lord
showed Himself to be His own
person wherever He went or with


whomever He met. That is how it
is intended; that is how God
planned it.
I heard an apocryphal tale of a
nature-lover who came upon
some butterflies about to come
out of their cocoons and watched
the struggle as
they sought to
climb to free-
dom but were
still trapped b\
their temporary
enclosures. In a
gesture of kind-
ness, he broke
open all of the
cocoons and Samuel S.
the butterflies Thomas
came out but
they could not lly. Apparently there
was something in the \\ork of
being reborn into their mature
state, in the struggle toward their
grown-up life that gate them the
ability to fly. They were ready to
come out but first the\ had to do it
on their own. The well-meaning
"parent" kept them from growing
on their OWTn.
There was a parent who told
me awhile ago about the son that
didn't grow, but then added,
"...Until I stopped bailing him
out." I grew tup without a cell
phone but would tell my parents
"I'm going to the librarN o "I'll
be at .. 's house" or "The Church
choir is meeting." There \\ as a bal-

was a part of that story about

having been a parent. There wxas

Himself at the feet of the teachers

Root Beer, Psychic Nuts and Botany


By Dan Culbert
Extension Horticulture Agent
Last week I was asked to give a
presentation to a group of Master
Gardener trainees in Dade County.
My subject was basic botany,
which can be a tough subject to
cover in a few hours. I did my best
to leave them with the idea that
plant identification is a lot easier if
the plant family can be figured out.
I should listen to my own
advice. A recent visitor from Fort
Drum brought in a plant for identifi-
cation. Somehow, the leaves and
stems reminded me of another
plant that I had identified early this
summer, the Root Beer Plant. I
spent a lot of time searching for the
identity of my mystery plant among
the Pepperomia family. Our Master
Gardeners beat me to the punch, as
they remembered to look at the
fruit of our mysterious specimen,
and identified it as the Psychic Nut.
Today's column will not only tell
a little bit abouththese two plants,
but is a good take home message
for budding botanists: look at all
the evidence available when trying
to find out more about plants in our
Florida Yards.
Botany Basics
The science of plant biology is a
work in progress. According to
Wikpedia, an on-line encyclopedia,
there are as many as 400 different
families of plants. Some are well
know, like the rose or lily family.
Others are relative unknowns, such
as the Kramenaceae, which
includes one species of an obscure
South American herb, the Peruvian
Rhatany.
One can easily get lost in the


UNIVERSITY OF

FLORIDA
IFAS EXTENSION
jungle of botanical names, so let's
leave this topic quickly. But the one
thing to remember is that flower
and fruit -structures have been the
basis for lumping plants together in
families or splitting them into differ-
ent groups. An in many cases,
other family characteristics are the
same across all members of a plant
family.
Aggressive
Root Beer Plant
Early this summer I received an
email from a local lady. Elaine
Davis sent me a digital photo of a
plant that she had acquired. She
was growing it in her back yard and
\ as concerned about its invasive
habitat, and wanted to know more
about it. The research process start-
ed with the steps needed to clearly
identity the plant in question.
She told me it was commonly
called the Root Beer plant, so
named because of the smell that
came from crushed leaves and
stems. It has been reportedly used
as a i\tapper leaf in Latin American
cooking and has some reputed
medicinal values. We also found
that this plant was becoming an
aggressive invader in Hawaii,
Micronesia, and even in some
places in the American tropics.
Locating the botanical name of
Root Beer plant as Piper auritum
allowed us to lind out more infor-
mation, but positive identification


would have to wait until it pro-
duced some flowers. So I asked
Elaine to let me know if she saw
this plant produced some stick-like
flower stalks, the "spadex" that is
typical of Peace lilies, philoden-
drons, and several other plant fami-
lies. This week she noticed the
flowers, and confirmed the identity.
Poisonous
Psychic Nut
Our Fort Drum resident brought
in several generous stems of leaves
from her mystery plant, and includ-
ed was an overripe, rounded fruit
with three large black seeds. The
stems had a big bump at the node-
w%'here the buds are and it some-
how reminded me of the Root Beer
plant. I went right to my books,.
looking among the other peppero-
mias to see if I could find a refer-
ence to our mystery plant.
Meanwhile, our Master Garden-
ers started the tedious process of
going through picture books, com-
paring the pictures to the speci-
men. Lady Luck was on their side,
as Master Gardener Terry Lane
stumbled into a photo in one of our
poisonous plant books that was a
close match. And on closer inspec-
tion and review, she suggested that
it could be the Psychic Nut, Jat-
ropha curcas.
I read the description of the fruit,
and then went back to the bag and
saw what I had overlooked. A later
visit to the Fort Drum home of
Veronica Ware confirmed that
indeed the mystery plant was this
distant relative of the poinsettia, a
member of the Euphorbia family.
Besides the failure to follow the
rules of looking at the fruit first,


another piece of evidence that
threw me was the discrepancies
between some of our references:
one reference reported the leaves
could be cooked and consumed,
and the fruit was known to be
"dangerously eaten."
Mrs. Ware said that she knows
of people who had consumed this
plant. My suggestion is more cau-
tious: if the face of conflicting evi-.
dence, I will err on the side of cau-
tion and let people know that since
some report it as poisonous, (.on-
suming it may not be a healthy
thing to do. Besides, I noticed that
the botanical name puts it in the
same genus as two other ornamen-
tal plants that are very poisonous.
the Coral Plant (Jatropha mullifidal
and the Peregrina (Jatropha inte-
gerrima.)
Another interesting fact about
this plant is that it is being grown in
India and other places as a source
of oil which is squeezed out of the
seed of the Psychic Nut. Experts are
looking to the Psxchic Nut as a sus-
tainable producer of bio-diesei
luels. While these nuts could be
grown for their oil, it will take more
research todetermine if it would be
profitable for these poisonous fruit
can fuel our energy needs.

Pesky lovebugs are a sign of spring and fall


The slow-moving lovebug,
often attached to a mate, is famil-
iar to most people in the southern
United States as what is splat-
tered all over their cars in the
summer and early fall. An inva-
sive species from Central Ameri-
ca, today the lovebug which is
harmless to humans is found
throughout Florida.
Origins: Contrary to popular
belief, this insect was not intro-
duced to the state by the Universi-
ty of Florida. Over the course of
the twentieth century, lovebuus


migrated from Central America,
traveling through Texas and
Louisiana to get to Florida.
Attractants: Lovebugs are
attracted to diesel and gasoline
exhaust fumes. Hot engines and
the vibrations .of automobiles
apparently contribute to the
attraction of lovebugs to high-
ways.
Active times: Love bugs are
usually active between 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m., in temperatures
abo e 84' F.
Mating season: Each gener-


action of lovebug lasts about four
weeks in May and September.
Typically there are two main
generations during this time. But
the insects are seen throughout
the summer.
Problems: Large numbers of
lovebugs can cause overheating
of liquid-cooled engines, reduce
visibility, and etch automobile
paint.
Solutions: Within about
twenty minutes after a lovebug-
filled drive, wash your car with
water for about five minutes and


then scrub it to remove most of
the lovebugs without harm to
automobile paint. A hood ail
deflector or screen will reduce the
number of spattered lovebugs on
your car.
Pesticides: Chemical con-
trols are ineffective, as the love-
bug is widespread and continual-
ly drifts onto highways from
adjacent areas

Farmers reminded of

disaster relief deadline


Florida Farm Bureau (FFB) is
reminding growers of the Sept.
29, 2006 deadline to apply for
relief under 2005 hurricane disas-
ter 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 FFB's Agnricul-
tural Policy Division. "Theit- are
no provisions for late filing."
.i S. Secretary of Agriculture
Mike Johanns announced the
hurricane disaster program,
which began May 17. The
announcement included two
newv]y developed programs fund-
ed through Section 32, the Hurri-
cane Indemnity Program IHIP.)
and the Tree Indemnity Programrn
ITIP)
The Hurricane Indemnit\
Program will provide payments to
eligible growers w ho sustained
crop losses and received a Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation crop
insurance indemnity payment
due to hurricane damage and
whose crop w\as in an eligible
county. For most growers, the
payment will be calculated by
multiplying the crop insurance
pamTnent times 30 percent. More
information is available at:
hlttp" w\\\v.fsa.usda gov pas pub


lications/facts/html/hip06.htm.
The Tree Inrdemnity Program
will provide flat payments for eligi-
ble 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 Ser-
vice, although only Tiers 2
through 4 are established for Flori-
da losses Tier 1 is for the Gulf
Coast states impacted b\ Hurri-
cane Katrinri The per acre pa -
ments by Tier for Florida are: Tier
2, $300; Tier 3, $200, Tier 4-, $90.
More information on TIP is avail-
able at
http: vwwl.tsa.usda goc pas pub
locations facts html tip06.htm
The rules for both HIP and TIP
also state that no "person" may
receive more than $80,i00 in pay-
ments from each program and an
individual or entity whose average
adjusted gross income exceeds
$2.5 million is ineligible tot bene-
fits unless 75 percent or more ,of
their income is dern ed from farm-
ing, ranching and or forester.
Sign up for these progran-s is
done at the county Farm Service
Agenc\ offices and will end on
September 29. Additional infor-
mation is also available online at
http- disaster.fsa.usda.gov.


Thai fruits could carry

disease in the U.S.


Tropical fruit growers in Flori-
da are expressing concern over
proposed amendments to pro-
posed amendments to
LSDA .APHIS regulations to allow
litchi, longan, mango, mangos-
teen, pineapple and rarnbulan
from Thailand into the United
States. In comments filed with
LiSDA, Florida Farm Bureau point-
ed out, Animal Plant and Health
Inspection Service inspectors
"will not be directly involved with
supervising the required inspec-
lion prograrn in Thailand. As ,a
sentinel state, Florida is vulnerable
to the introduction of destructive
foreign pests and diseases."
The proposal calls for the
"registration and monitoring" of
production areas by the nation-


al plant protection organization
of Thailand, but pr o\ides no fur-
ther details.
"\\"e feel the procedures for
registering and monitoring of the
approved production areas must
be clearly spelled out," said Adaim
Basford, assistant director of the
Florida Farm Bureau Federation's
Agriculture Policy Division
Basford said the Farm Bureau
is also concerned about the
potential for further spreading
phytophihora, a plant disease
likely introduced into the U.S. on
plant material imported fiom
Asia Lwchee Iruit is a knownri
host, and Thailand is known to
be infested with the lychee strain
of phytophthora

Consumers get some insurance help


1ALLA- IASSEF. By motion of
Attorneiv et-neir.it Charlie Crist, the
Governiit and Cabinet rejected a
proprf-_d plan of operation for Citi-
zens Property IIsLIfdnaIlc Corp. (Cit-
izens) and instead ordered the
state's insurer If last resort to hold a
series of public hearings before
submitting a new plan.
Governor Jeb Bush, Agriculture
Commissioner Charles Bronson
and Chief Financial Officer Tom
Gallagher also agreed with Mr.
Crist's Imotlion tn prohibit Citizens


from hiring outside attorneys to sue
the state for hJl er rates under cer-
tain circumstances, unless the hir-
ing is fir:l .appro-ve II in public meet-
ings by the rrpoiration's board of
directors and i\ tite Governor and
Cabinet,
"Citizensj Properly Insurance
Corporation seems to have forgot-
ten that it was created to serve peo-
ple during their time of great need. It
seems to have forgotten that the
people of !lorida are tie boss, and
the corporation is there to serve


them riol th:fi(ether way ,around,"
said Mr. Crist. "It's time we remind
Citizenrs of its statutory and moral
duly to the peJoplI- of Florida"
Btcausi Flotrriia 1,,%. requires
that sumrn pljan of operation for Citi-
zens be approved by the Governor
and Cabinet by October 1, Mr. Crist
proposed a provisional order to
guide the insurer's actions until a
permanent plan can be submitted
no later than Jaui iary 31,2007.
Mr. Crist said Citizenis provides
an essential ILntclion for more than


1.2 million Floridians who would
not.otherwise be able to obtain
homeowners insurance, but said
the Plan of Operation subritt'ed by
the corporation does not ensure
the "efficiencies and economies"
or high-quality service for policy-
holders as required by law, Mr. Crist
noted that Citizens receives money
from all Florida homeowners
through assessments on their
insurance bills, and earlier this year
received a $715-million bailout
from tlie taxpiJ'ers.


Fraud charged in postal job ads scam


TALLAHASS1I-: Attorney
General C.harlie Crist announced
that his office s.ied iwo South Flori-
da companies fur allegedly falsely
guaranteeing jobs with the United
States Postal Service. Federal
Careers Institute and a Broward
County subsidiary advertised postal


service jobs, wenr, in fact neither
company w,. in any way affiliated
with the tI- S. Postal Service.
An investigation by Mr. Crist's
Economic Crimes Division deter-
mined that the companies were
placing classified advertisements in
South Florida newspapers, promis-


ing postal service jobs, then solicit-
ing tespondlnils rin their "training"
program. Fedfr.ral Careers Institute
claimed that it participants scored
well on the postal exam, they
would be guaranteed a job with the
U.S. Postal Service. Victims of the
scam paid $1,995 each for a regis-


ration fee, the course, materials
and the exam. Both companies
also filed lawsuits to collect fees
from students who protested the
companies' business practices.
Investigators believe the compa-
nies may have scammed approxi-
mately 2,60U victims.

According to Principle, Terry
Reed, "I have many years experi-
ence working in the public, pri-
vate and non-profit sectors and I
believe tiiat there may be a need
lor these services Often it is
cheaper to hire a consultant for a
project rather than bring on a


new staff member for a short
period of time."
Mr. Reed spent the last seven
months with the Pahokee Beacon
Center, "I was sad to hear that
they decided to go in another
direction but feel that we had
some significant accomplish-
ments and raised the profile of the
center. Hopefully this will create
some new and exciting profes-
sional opportunities. I'd like to
stay in the Glades area."

Tigers stun Raiders with overtime win

By Jeff Bawick


In a game for the ages, the
Clewiston Tigers shocked Glades
Central, and virtually the entire
football world, of Florida, by spot-
ting the Raiders a 14-point lead
and then roaring back with 21
points to win a thrilling 21-14 over-
time victory. Most agree that you
would have to go way back in
Raider football history to find a
game where they had an instance
of that many unanswered points.
Tiger workhorse tailback
Jamal Hubert -would not be
stopped and scored from seven
yards out on the second play of
overtime for the winning score.
But, the contest was far from
over. The Raiders still had their
overtime offensive series from the
10-yard line. After a one-\ard gain
on a running play, two Bryan
Mann passes fell incomplete.
Facing a fourth and goal from
the nine, Mann rolled to his left
and rifled a pass to wideout,
Deonte Thompson who made a
leaping one-handed catch.
Thompson was met quickly by
Tiger defenders and was stopped
just short of the goal line and the
overflow home crow d went crazy.
All week in the practices lead-
ing up to their showdown with
Glades Central, Coach Larry
:Antonacci told his squad that
this was like David and Goliath.
And he should know, having
'been the offensive coordinator
,on three consecutive Raider
state championship teams a few
:years back The Raiders were
ranked 17th nationally and had a
-front line averaging over 300
,pounds per man. They were
*o erwhelming favorites to paste
the Tigers, no matter that Clew is-
Ion was undefeated and ranked
fourth in Class 2A.
The game didn't begin very
encouraging for the Tigers. They
,were pinned deep in their own
backyard most of the first quarter
Sand found the Raiders constantly
driving when they had the ball.
'The Tigers got first possession
after a kickoff touchback and
made one first down before Quar-
SterbackJared Combass %%as inter-
cepted by Tavarius Mottlel w% ho
popped up from his linebacker
spot to snare a pass over the mid-
dle. From the Tiger 26, Mann ran a
keeper for, 14 yards but the drive
stalled when defensive end Delvin
Hughes sacked running back
SDamienBerry for a seven yard loss
and then Mann was unable to
connect on three consecutive
passes. The Tigers wentsthree-
and-out and Glades Central let the
punt roll dead on the Tiger 48.
Seven plays later, Berr\ went off
tackle for the final five yards and
:the conversion by' Vincente
Escobedo gave the Raiders a 7-0
advantage. The Tigers again could
not move the ball and punted it
away and giving the Raiders
another possession beginning
near mid-field. Another seven play
drive, this one covering 49 yards,
ended when Berry covered the
final four yards.
The point after by Escobedo
gave the Raiders a 14-0 lead. The
Tiger faithful were squirming in
their seats realizing that the Tigers
had to begin some sustained
offense or else the contest was
headed for the predicted-blowout.
Things did not look much bet-
ter for the Tigers as their first drive
of the second period ended when
defensive back Gion Jackson
picked off another Combass pass.
Then the Tigers got their first
break of the nighl when defensive
end Johnny Jones pounced on a
fumble by Berry at the Raider 41.
Five running plays moved the ball
to the Raider 27 where on third
and 10, Combass dropped back
and fired a strike to tight end
Delvin Hughes who carried a
Raider defender with him into the
end zone. With 1:21 remaining in
the half, Tiger place kicker Will
SDavis split the uprights to close the
gap to 14-7.
The Tigers emerged for the
final half as a rejuvenated team.
They held Glades Central's potent
offense to only two first downs in
-the third period. With 4:37
remaining in the third, Raider
Deonte Thompson fumbled the

ball alter a short pass reception
and Tiger linebacker David Pope
recovered at the Tiger 19 and
Clewiston put together a 12 play,
81,yard scoring drive. Along the
way, the Tiger offensive line began
opening holes in the Raider
defense for Hubert and his relief
tailback, Darris Hughes. On the
third play of the final period, Com-
bass rolled right and lobbed an
arching pass to The corner of the
end zone where w deout, John
.Melton did a beautiful tap dance
to keep his feet inbounds as he
caught the ball.
Davis nailed the point after and
knotted the score at 14-all with a
little over 10 minutes remaining.
The Tiger faithful were in a feed-
ing frenzy.
Glades Central started a drive
from their 21 following the kick-
off, relying on their running game
for five plays and getting to the
Tiger 38. But a costly holding
penalty and a 7-yard run sack by
Tiger cornerback Jasper Hunter
forced the Raiders into punt for-
mation with a fourth and long
Punter Deandre Holle% took the
deep snap and skirted around the
right end behind a %\all of block-
ers and was racing for a lirst
down. Tiger John Melton, who
had been back to receive the
punt, was streaking from his
downfield position and met Hol-
ley with a bone jarring tackle just
short of the first down markers.
Like the game itself, that hit was a
tackle for the ages too. It was a
textbook shoulder hit, lifting Hol-
ley up and then backwards as
they crashed out of bounds. The
Tigers had a couple of more
offensive series as did the Raiders
but it was obvious the contest
was headed for overtime.
The Tigers got the first try in
overtime and wasted no time.
Hubert smashed for 3 on the first
play and then hit the line again,
dragging several Raider tacklers
into the end zone to put the Tigers
on top for the first time of the


night. Davis added the important
extra point and then the Tigei
defense took over to stifle the
Raiders and move the Tigers to a,
4-0 record. :
On the evening, Jamal Hubert
had 136 hard earned yards on 31
rushing plays. Jared Combass had
two touchdown passes and Davis
was perfect on the kicks. And,
somehow%, the undersized Tiger
line improved steadily\ throughout
the game and kept finding \\a% s ito
block Ihe huge Raider defensive
line and keep the Tiger otlensive
hopes alive.
Tiger defensive coordinator
Pablo Sanchez' unit turned in
another outstanding effort, partic-
ularly after the first period. They
were only penalized once in the
game and that was for, an
encroachment call. The defense
was swarming and tackling hard,
punishing Raider running backs
and receivers. Defensive end
Delvin Hughes was credited with
eight tackles, two assists and a
running sack. At the other defen-
sive end, Johnny Jones turned in
his best performance of the'year
with seven tackles, two assists, a
running sack and a fumble, recov-
ery. Impressive was the fact that
several of his tackles came as he
ran down speedy Raider runners
from the backside of the play.
After the game, fans remained
in the stands cheering and cele-
brating for over 30 minutes. It was
the first Tiger victory over Glades
Central since 2002 and only the
seventh win in the 22-year series
dating back to 1985.
The Tigers emerged from the
hard-hitting game with no serious
injuries and travel to play Cardinal
Newman this Friday in their first
district match-up.
