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 the excess storm water, or surface water will be withdrawn from the C-19 canal and/or the C-43 canal, which is better known as the Caloosa- hatchee River.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 If surface water is unavailable from the canal system, then water could be withdrawn from the Upper Floridan Aquifer.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 See Plant-Page 12 Man accused in attempted murder case MOORE HAVEN A Moore Haven man was charged with two counts of attempted mur- der for his alleged r..ile in a shooting Sept.: 10. According to deputies, %what started as an argument quickly escalated into a potentially dangerous sit- uation when the suspect opened fire on txwo people. The Glades County Sherilf's Oltice arrested Jesse Good\win, 65, of Moore Haven, in cornec- tion ,itri the shooting The incident happened just before 8a.m on Sept 10. According to/the arrest report, Lorenza Beaver, 42, of Moore Haven, and Marry Spar- row, 46, of Moore Haven, were at Sparrow's residence at 513 Green St. when Goodwin showed utp.

"Teams of biologists and vol- unteers were assigned to moni- tor and record data over 12 hours, from dawn to dusk. Then they met at Hendry's Sabal Palm Campground to correlate pre- liminary data. The teams report- ed ninety-three species and thousands of birds," said Mar- garet England of the Hendry County Audubon Society. Traveling interior into the Fisheating Creek Wildlife Man- See Bird Page 12 By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to the Glades County Democrat 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 under one of the biggest live 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 were video taped by the U.S. 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 See Storm Page 12 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.

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 their o\\n expense i A group from Plantation is look- ing at a trip soon and talked to Renee loda% A Presbyterian group in Pom- pano Beach may come for 2-3 da\s.

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 Super Fling Boogie. Let go of your clutter and make room for more time for you!

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.

'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.

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 RachelScott@fpl.com Your tim,.

You should drink water all year round Submiited photo/www.Iosgtp.-is corn Tom Gaskins' Cypress Knee Museum featured cypress knees, knobby protuberances thai cypress trees grow from their roots up above the surface of the swamp water that often surrounds them. 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."

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 began the year with a pair of tk'uh losses at the Sun-N-Lake Couiitit v I'lub il Subiiing against Lake Wales H.S. 11661 and .Seb i.!

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- 216, and Moore Haven-261. The 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.

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 years. DOF recently opened 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.

"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- highway vehicle enthusiasts that are trying to locate new areas to ride on public lands in Florida. The new state law that goes into effect Oct. 1, does allow for an individual county to exempt themselves from allowing ATV traffic on unpaved public roads. If anyone wishes to find out more about the legality of riding ATVs in their respective county they need, to contact their County Adminis- trator's office for its current ruling on thisissue. Springs. Their overall Weight with five fish was 17.09 pounds and earned them $2,000 cash. Fifth place overall on the day went to the team of Jim Hurlock and Charlie Librizzi of Lake Worth. Their overall weight of 16.27 pounds earned them a cash prize of $1,000.

Eliminat- ing the current U.S. sugar pro- 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 n. .:.i:irn1e! rood conglomer- ates .: he expense oi Ainencli'ss sugar '.-rners." the report con- 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 pe tern cheaper and 70.8 cents if Storm Continued From Page 1 drove about two miles, and then had to wade in waist deep water. When the water got deeper, they had to swim. Local townspeople in boats were rescuing survivors. Both men were picked up and taken to Moore Haven.

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 their sugar-containing counter- drowned as flood waters broke, up their home. The waters had risen up to the rooftops. "A lot of people went out on the roofs," she said, "and then the waves, wind and all blew them off into the water. That was such a tragedy for that boy.

Ms. Howard said she remem- bered her father having to kill five rattlesnakes soon after the storm. 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.

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."

EMPOWERING TOMORROW. '" 11, Ict. 4th CAUCTION), 10 a.m. Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, September 28, 2006 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."

At the same time, I was becoming my own person, being \\ho God intended for me to be.

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 For more information on Inte- grated Pest Management l(IPMi, please visit IPM Florida online at http: solutionslorvourlife.utl.edu . 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 Swhen you need a seke call 1 a professional r .. for as little as $10.00 per week, per block.

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.

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.

SetMember 28. 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee 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 Submitted photo/Jeff Barwick Clewiston Principal Robert Egley looks on as the scoreboard tells the whole story. - Tiger John Melton pulls in this sideline pass and turned the ball up the field for an 11 yard gain. 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.
