' Attending as an Ortona resi- dent, she suggested the com-. mission consider holding some county commission meetings at various communities in Glades Count'.

The current system is past the end of its life.cycle and it will no longer be serv- iced. Since the grant is funded through Florida Department of Law Enforcement, there will be no cost to the count'.

All we need is a reason and the one here and now is as inviting as a circus on Saturday used to be. Here and now, hooky-play- ing means looking for and find- ing gifts of Mother Nature that are rare, hard to find, and that sadly enough won't be around .much longer. These sparkling days of autumn are issuing invitations right and left. This morning was a good example.

The school wide Reading Renaissance is an advance- ment of the Accelerated Read- er program that started at MHES in January 1999. It is a computerized learning infor- mation system designed to help teachers motivate, moni- tor and manage student read- ing practice. Each class has an extended reading block in order to attain Accelerated Reader goals. In addition to this, each student is expected to read independent- ly to achieve these goals. The theme of this year's Reading Renaissance is camp- ing out. Parents and visitors can come and see the beauti- fully decorated classrooms and hallways which display camp- ing scenes.

The plan would require Florida Power & Light Company ,(FP&L), which cur- rently owns a utility easement one and three-quarter miles inside the Park, to release their interest. The new easement, to be granted to the United States in' order to protect the Park, will then be conveyed to FP&L. The easement is located on District right-of-way lands in Miami-Dade County near Tamiami Trail and along the L-31 north canal. "The District's easement offer is very much appreciated," said Dan Kimball, Superintendent of Ever- glades National Park.. "High-power transmission lines are best sited outside the Park and away from Everglades wetlands. It may allow FP&L to continue with their upgrading work without directly impacting the national park. "Mr. Kimball added, "This innovative solution is just another example of the partnership between the South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Department of the Interior in restoring the Everglades and protecting the Park." The resolution by the District's Governing Board assigns a "per- petual access and utility ease- ment" on a 330-feet-wide tract within the L-31N right-of-way and on adjoining District lands north of Tamiami Trail and south of the G- 211 structure. These additional tracts are needed to connect with an existing Florida Power & Light corridor. The resolution is subject to an agreement by all parties, which includes Florida Power & Light's releasing its existing land interests within the Park. Other than recording fees, no costs are required from the Park for this easement. "Interagency cooperation again proves key. to Everglades restora- tion," said Carol Ann Wehle, Exec- utive Director of the South Florida Water Management District. "Even a basic issue like this, a utility ease- ment, requires us to communi- cate, share our resources and keep the primary mission in mind. America's Everglades continue to be in good hands." FWC seeks input on upcoming manatee plan Those loveable sea cows, officially known as Florida man- atees, are migrating, traveling from the north to the warmer 'waters to the south. They instinctively know win- ter is just around the corner, 'much the same as migratory birds and Florida's snowbirds 'know that 01' Man Winter is knocking on the door. The state's official marine mammal is highlighted during November, also known as Mana- tee Awareness Month, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser- vation Commission (FWC) is asking for the public's assistance in protecting the sea cow for future generations. The state's first Manatee Man- agement Plan, released Thurs- day, is available online at- MyFWC.com, and FWC officials are asking the public to share thoughts and views. 2: "The first draft incorporated extensive public input," said Kipp Frohlich, leader of FWC's Imperiled Species Management 'Section. "We are looking to the people of Florida to let us know if it meets their expectations for manatee recovery and manage- ment." Dr. John E. Reynolds ill, Mote Marine manatee research pro- gram manager and chairman of the U.S. Marine Mammal Com- mission, said manatee counts have increased in recent years. Since the 1980s, Dr. Reynolds has been counting manatees' which congregate around power plants. Mote Marine staff have been conducting aerial sur-' veys since 1985. FWC, along with several other entities, also conducts counts and aerial sur- veys. Those surveys "document habitat use patterns, seasonal distribution and relative abun- dance of manatees," according to information on Mote's Web site, www.mote.org. Keeping track of the number of Florida manatees is vitally important so scientists know whether to classify the manatee as endangered or threatened. "The fact that the manatee does not merit classification as endangered is a tribute to the commitment made to manatee conservation during the past 30 years. This effort has few paral- lels in conservation biology," Mr. Frohlich said. The reclassification is based on the recommendations of a biological review panel headed by Elsa Haubold, FWVC's section leader for Species Conservation Planning. "Factors that contributed to the decision to list the manatee as threatened included the potential for at least a 30 percent population decline in the future and a relatively small population size," Ms. Haubold said. FWC and its partners have been successful in rehabilitating manatees struck by boats or suf- fering from life-threatening ill- nesses and injuries. One such mammal was found floating near the Isle of Capri. The manatee was suffer- ing from a pneumothorax free air in his chest caused by a boat striking him. "They found him floating and he could not dive," Dr. Maya Rodriguez, veterinarian with Miami Seaquarium, said. "When he came to us, we could tell immediately he had fractured ribs. The x-rays showed about 10 fractures, his entire right side was unstable. "Of course, he didn't want to eat, but he was amazing," she said. "What's amazing is these manatees are fighters, they want to survive." And this particular manatee did survive. He had free air for about six months. The young- ster (his age estimated at 2 years) began associating with other manatees, especially other males. He began diving and eat- ing, gaining about 300 pounds. Another manatee, this one from the Florida Keys, suffered for a longer time than the Isle of Capri manatee, Rodriguez said. He had been hit quite some time before he was found in shallow water. His type of injuries gener- ally occur from a boat hull hit- ting an animal at a very high speed. "He had pyothorax where the (body) cavity fills up with pus," she said. "The full cavity was filled with fluid. "In the shallows, they don't eat," she said. "Their entire being is concentrated on breath- ing. They can't dive to eat." Amazingly, Rodriguez said, this manatee survived the devas- tating injury. He was the only one to have done so when he was released. "About three years later, he weighed 1,300 pounds," she Food safety important during holidays r During the holiday season, haz- ards to food safety may increase as 'cooks try new recipes, cook for larger numbers of people, get dis- tracted with other holiday plans or misjudge cooking times. To help avoid food-related holi- .day problems, the U.S. Department of. Agriculture,, .USDA) recom- mends planning ahead.- Plan.-out fthe menu and make a shopping list. If you are preparing special hol- iday foods, this will help you, 'reduce the number of extra trips to ;the supermarket. Some holiday foods may require ingredients you Ido not normally keep on hand If you are planning to cook a turkey, decide if you will buy it fresh :or frozen. A fresh turkey should be ]cooked.within two days of pur- chase A frozen turkey can be pur- 4chased in advance, but if you are Going to buy a frozen bird make ,sure you plan for thawing time. Never buy a pre-stuffed turkey, wvarns the USDA. Bacteria can grow in the stuffing. If you buy a frozen turkey, it is a ' A Healthier SLife with Katrina Elsken not safe to leave it out at room tem- perature to thaw. You can thaw' a frozen turkey in the refrigerator or inawaterbath. In the refrigerator, plan for about 24 hours of thaw time for every 5 pounds. An eight to 10 pound turkey will thaw in one to two days in the refrigerator; a 12-16 pound bird \\ill tha\v in t\o to three days; a 16-20 pound turkey in- three to four days; a 20-2-1 pound turkeywill thaw in four to five days. If you don't ha% e time or room - to thaw a turkey in the refrigera- tor, you can use a cold water bath. Immerse the turkey still wrapped in plastic in cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook immediately. after thawing. An 8 to 12 pound turkey will take four to six hours to thaw in cold water; a 12 to 16 pound turkey will take six to eight hours; a 16 to 20 pound turkey Will take 8 to 10 hours; a 20 to 2- pound turkey will take 10 to 12 hours. I According to the USDA,you can also thaw a frozen turkey in a microwave, if the microwave is large enough. Check the manufac- turer's instructions to see what size frozen item your microwave can safely handle. Cook immediately after thawing. Stuffing a turkey can be, risky, since bacteria can grow in the stuffing. If you plan to cook stuff- ing in the turkey, don't put the stuffing into the bird until just before you place it in the over. Stuffing should be loosely packed so that it can heat evenly. Use a recipe for moist not dry stuff- ing. Heat kills bacteria more easily in a moist environment. Many people myself included - cook stuffing or "dressing" sepa- rately in a casserole. Turkey is safe to eat when the internal temperature is 165 degrees. Use a meat thermome- ter to check the thickest part of the breast. Cooking times will vary depending in the size of the turkey and what type of oven you use. The USDA recommends baking a turkey at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. An eight to 10 pound turkey takes two to three hours; a 20 to 25 pound turkey takes four to five hours. An old-fashioned way to see if a turkey is cooked is to "wiggle" the leg. If it moves easily, use a meat thermometer to be sure. Before making any change to your diet or exercise program, consult your doctor. This is espe- dally important if you are on any prescription medication. Some drugs interact badly with foods that would otherwise be consid- ered "healthy." said. "He came in at 600 pounds." Rodriguez said the most enjoyment she gets from work- ing around manatees is giving them every chance at recovery. "The ones in such severe shape, some people think 'do we put them out of their mis- ery?'" she said. "But,. they just keep fighting. They don't give up so we don't give up." Anyone who would like to view the management plan to help protect the manatee can go to MyFWC.com The public may provide com- ments on the plan through 5 p.m. Jan. 11.

Boating speed zones change Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers want to remind boaters of the seasonal speed zone changes that took effect last week as manatees return to South Florida for winter. Wednesday, Nov. 15, marked the first day of changes in post- ed speed zones, which include reductions or increases in lawful boat speeds. "There are more boaters and more manatees in the water during the winter season in South Florida. Although we will issue citations to violators, we hope all boaters will comply with the seasonal changes and watch out for manatees," FWC Maj. Brett Norton said "Our objectives are to protect human life, as well as that of the mana- tee." As the weather becomes cooler, manatees will seek refuge in warmer w ater, such as the Rjiiera Beach Power Plant in Palm Beach County, Snapper Creek Canal in Miami-Dade County and elsewhere in the Intracoastal Waterway. Boaters should wear sunglasses with polarized lenses, obey posted speed zones and keep an eye on the water in front of them. Anyone who spots a strug- gling, beached or injured mana- tee should not try to assist the animal but should call the FWC Wildlife Alert hotline at 1888)- 404-FWCC (3922:1.

A popular fall flower found on holiday tables, near doorsteps and in fall seasonal ;bouquets is the Chrysanthemum. 'This daisy-like flower comes in many different colors and shapes. While dedicated gardeners may 'be able to grow them in their Flori- :da yard, Chrysanthemums, better 'known as mums, may be grown as 'seasonal potted plants or used in cut flower arrangements. Today's ,column is adapted from former UF Horticulture Specialist Dr. Bob ,Black and from Orange County !Horticulture Agent Tom MacCub- 'bin. !Colorful .Chrysanthemums The chrysanthemum is one of 'the most colorful of all fall flower- ing perennials. Wide selections of ,varieties are available in colors ranging from white, pink, yellow, lavender; bronze, salmon, orange, ,or red. In addition, Mums vary greatly in type and size. One of the -most popular flower types is the ,single or daisy form. Other flower types are anemone, spoon, spider, standard, and pompon. Chrysanthemum varieties are ,also chosen based on their use. 'Varieties grown for cut flowers and ,football corsages (e.g. pom-poms) ,are a lot different that the kinds you *see used in potted plants in the local garden center. The term ,Hardy mum is used for plants Grown in northern gardens as a bedding plant for fall flowers. Mums are a short day plant, ,which means they form flowers :when the nights get longer. Com- Imercial flower growers have learned what it takes to trick the Chrysanthemurm into flowering at any time of the year. Besides cover- ing the plants with black cloth dur- ing spring and summer growing periods, growers also use growth regulators so plants grow multiple blooms rather than just one flower at the end of a tall stem. Using Potted Mums Chrysanthemums have been at the garden centers since Septem- ber, but now is the best time to add these cool season flowers to the landscape. Late fall is when we get maximum enjoyment from these beautiful flowers. Gardeners in the more northern areas have been using mums for months but it's best if we wait until late October or November to set our Mums in the landscape. If you waited until now to create your fall displays the plants are going to flower a lot longer. It's also best to purchase your mums when they have fairly tight flower buds. Look for just a little color so you know what you are buying, but avoid the plants with wide open flowers. Once fully open they will soon be past their peak, and will shortly decline.. It's probably best to use just a few mums in the landscape. In many with a potted mum on the doorstep. Since they are not cheap, and are a short term -investment, they should be displayed to a maxi- mum advantage. Tom MacCubbin suggests that a couple of potted Mums could be clustered in a larger container and set at the door entrance or on the patio. You could also fill a small flowerbed area with mums to obtain a brilliant seasonal splash of color.

The "star" of the day for this event will be Bob Joyner, who's known far and wide for his superb expertise in the very southern art of barbecuing. What's more, Mr. Joyner is also known for his generosity throughout the community. And this event is no exception; he is donating not only his own serv- ices but all the chickens as well and all the trimmings it takes to make the best barbecue in this part of the world! He says he simply wants the students at West Glades to have the funds for the "extras" that add immea-' surably to schooling. The barbecue will actually take place at the Doyle Connor building, Highway 27 in Moore Haven, and from there it will be transported to West Glades School just in time for lunch...from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. And, of course, if you'd like to stop by and pick up your lunch at Doyle Connor they'll be happy to see you. Tickets will also be available at the Glades County Court House, the Marina RV Resort on the Rim Canal by the locks, at Robins Nest RV Resort on Highway 27, at the Beach Comber Outdoor Resort, Fisheating Creek Campground, Mac's Country Store on Loblolly Bay/CR 720 in Muse, and in LaBelle, stop in at Flora & Ella's Restaurant. Tickets will be avail- able at the cash register. Glades at a Glance GCD/Barbara Oehlbeck West Glades Elementary students are 'Chefs in waiting' while they are preparing for the upcoming Big Benefit Barbecue scheduled for Friday, Dec. 1. Make holiday visits more enjoyable By the American Counseling Association The coming Thanksgiving hol- iday marks the beginning of the "holiday visit home" season, the most common time for people to reunite with their families., Unfortunately, for some peo- ple, holiday family visits can be a source of anxiety and stress. Instead of such visits being the perfect warm, fuzzy experience television and advertisers love to portray, various reasons can make such visits hard to enjoy. Maybe your childhood wasn't a pleasant time and holds lots of, old wounds, past hurts and argu- ments to reopen. Or, family members may be expecting the person they used to know, rather than who you've become. 'ou've grown intellectu- ally, emotionally and psychologi- cally, but family members may view and and treat you as the child you once were, not the adult you've become. Life's problems can also leave you anxious about that upcom- ing visit. A divorce, financial problems or,a bad job may have you feeling you've fallen short of the person your family expected you to be. They may be unable to understand the struggles and bur- dens you've had to face. Despite the causes of your anxiety about the visit, you can take steps to minimize the stress. An easy one is simply to shorten your visit. Stay only long enough not to appear rude or insensitive. Your visit can also be more enjoyable by taking control of some of the activities. Spend The Counseling Corner from the American Counseling Association extra time with family members you enjoy. Try visiting old friends you've missed, or just plan on some time off by yourself to relax. Also be sure you're not the one starting arguments, bringing up past hurts or being critical. Don't respond when someone is critical of you. Be complimentary whenever possible. Remind yourself you can't change things over which you have no control. If there are fam- ily members who drink too much or like to argue, that's sim- ply who they are and not some- thing you can change. While we all change over time, but each of us does it in our own way. You'll only frustrate yourself if you expect your family members suddenly become who you'd like them to be. If you can't avoid a family visit that has you highly stressed, con. sider talking to a counseling pro- fessional. He or she will have sug- gestions for ways to deal with the visit in a healthier manner.

I have a loyal Labrador named Rusty. Other than a little ADD, and occasional dandruff he really is no problem at all. About four to five times year his dandruff gets a little too crusty and itchy to ignore, so we bring him in for a cortisone shot. A few days after his shot, he is good to go (although the ADD is still there). I heard that cortisone injections may be harmful and pos- sible reduce his life span. Is that really true? Are we hurting Rusty by giving him those injections? Thanks Doc. Your biggest fan, Marvin in Belle Glade! Answer: Well hey there, Mar- vin, that's an excellent question! There are a few different types of cortisone injections and yes there are some which may be harmful. The type which Rusty gets is a very low, short acting dose.

"Thank goodness American candy companies and American sugar producers adhere to the ,highest food safety standards in the world," said Dalton Yancey, chairman of the American Sugar Alliance. "Candy companies were able to identify the problem, and U.S. sugar companies were able to clean the dirty Mexican sugar before it ever found its way into chocolate bars or candy corn." Much of the Mexican sugar imported earlier this year arrived in burlap sacks, which left fibers in the sugar. Antiquated machinery in Mexican refineries mixed metal grindings with the product. And on the long boat ride from Mexico, organic waste infested the sugar that was supposed to be read t-o- eat upon arrival. U.S. sugar refineries re-refined the Mexican sugar to cleanse the impurities. This extra refining step increased costs and slowed deliv- ery to food manufacturers. American industrial sugar users almost ric-ter import refined sugar Iron foreign countries because of quality\ and lugistic nightmares, Mr. Yancey explained, but last year's hlut icacnes temporarily interrupted d',.omestic shipments. "A.\mieican food manufacturers saw firsthand just how vital a strong and vibrant U.S. sugar industry is to their business," said Mr. Yaimcey. "American consumers demand the best, and imports of refined sugar don't pass the test." America's sugar producers argue that extending the current sugar policy is the best way that Congress can ensure high-quality homegrown sugar \\ill be avail- able for years to come. Mr. YanceN concluded: "With- out our current no-cost policy, dirty Mexican sugar could become the norm, not a brief one-time event that came on the heels of the biggest hurricane season to ever befall our country." U.S. sugar policy is the only major agricultural program that operates at no cost to taxpayers. Its advocates also point out that the program helps generate stable and affordable prices for grocery shop- pers while strengthening the coun- try's food security. Learn how to figure your telephone tax refunds The Internal Revenue Service announced the standard amounts that most long-distance cus- tomers can use to figure their tele- phone tax refund. These amounts, which range from $30 to $60, will enable millions of individual tax- payers to request the telephone tax refund without having to dig through old phone bills. In general, anyone who paid the long-distance telephone tax will get the refund on their 2006 federal income tax return. This includes individuals, busifiesses and nonprofit organizations. The 2006 return is usually filed dur- ing 2007. The standard amounts are based on the total number of exemptions claimed on the 2006 federal income tax return. The standard amounts are $30 for a person filing a return with one exemption, $40 for two exemp- tions, $50 for three exemptions and $60 for four or more exemp- tions. For example, a married couple filing a joint return with two dependent children (for a total of four exemptions) will be eligible for the maximum stan- dard amount of $60. To get the standard amount, eligible taxpayers only need to fill out one additional line on their regular 2006 return. The IRS is creating a special short form (Form 1040EZ-T) for those who don't need to file a regular return. The standard amounts are based on actual telephone usage data, and the standard amount applicable to a family or other household reflects the long-dis- tance phone( tax paid by similarly sized families or households. Those who paid the long-dis- tarinc tax on ser ice billed after Feb. 2', '20103 and before Aug. 1, 2006 are eligible tor a refund. Onl individuals can use the standard amounts. Alternatively, individual taxpayers can choose to figure their refund using the actual arnount of tax paid. Though businesses and non- profits must base their telephone tax refund on the actual amount of tax paid, the IRS is looking for ways to make the refund process easier for these taxpayers. The IRS is considering an estimation method that businesses and nonprofits may use for figuring the tax paid. Details on requesting the tele- phone tax refund will be includ- ed in all 2006 tax return materi- als and on irs.gov.

OMGF1086 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, November 23, 2006 Thursday, November 23, 2006 The honorable giver can do no wrong Area Church News in Brief By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church, Clewiston Thanksgiving is upon us! This is the time of year when we are encouraged to take a moment not only to count our many blessings, but to give thanks to our God who has helped us make it through the hardships, losses, and struggles that we have faced this year. This is also the time of year when we are given opportunities to give in special ways to help bless those who might need an extra blessing over the holidays. In our giving, let us also not forget the opportunity to help bless God's ministries at our churches end the year with strength. I'm reminded of a story I heard about the time the King of Siam came to America for an eye oper- ation. His American surgeon was accustomed to setting his fee according to what the patient could pay. If a person was wealthy, he paid the full price. If a person was poor, he paid almost nothing. But this surgeon couldn't decide how much toh charge the king. Should it be free because he was a king? Should it be John $20,000 to Hicks match his usual high fees? Or should it be $40,000 to prove that the opera- tion was worth the trip? After all, a king is a king and he has plenty of money. Finally, the surgeon checked with the king's lawyer. The lawyer said, "The king is an honorable man. Like you, he understands value. My advice to you is to sim- ply send him an invoice with no amount indicated and then add a handwritten footnote saying, "The king can do no wrong." The doctor followed this advice and a check came back for $200,000 (which is a lot of money, but was a lot more back then)! The surgeon was overjoyed. He bought his wife a new wardrobe, ordered a new car, and blew the rest on a long cruise. He arrived home, his pocket book flattened, but happy and refreshed. When he began to open his mail he found a bill from the king's lawyer. It had no amount written in, but there was a handwritten note saying, "The honorable. Doctor can do no wrong." SEvery Sunday we place on the altar of our church some of the promises of our giving. God sends no bills. No statement of our account with God is going to show up in our mailbox. No one looks over your shoulder as you reach into your wallet or purse. The bottom line is that God trusts us to be faithful stewards. That is how God works. God trusts us as a faithful community to provide and care for His min- istry. In return, we trust God to not only provide and care for us, but to help us as we walk through this thing called life. The world is like a field ripe for harvest. We are called and sent forth by God, like the disciples of old, to harvest a bountiful crop. The challenge for us is to give our time, our talents, and our resources to help make this hap- pen. Remember, "The honorable giver can do no wrong." God has planted the seeds of faith, and He will use us, and all of our gifts, to bring the harvest in.

D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston I was chosen.to be a "group Captain" on a church trip to Israel a few years back. The tour com- pany asked me to serve as coordi- pator between those on-site and the bus- full of people that were to spend ten days in the Holy Land. When two of my friends heard about the trip, SamuelS. they asked if Thomas they could join our group and I was delighted to have someone from home with me. One of our common inter- ests is amateur radio; the three of us being "ham radio operators." We applied for reciprocal licens- es from the Israeli government and were granted permission to operate our amateur gear during our trip. We saw lots of old churches and places named in the Bible, were able to better understand what we had read about (a visit to the Valley of the Shadow of Death made Psalm 23 come alive for me in a new way, walking in the places where Jesus would have taken His last steps made the tragedy of it all so much more personal, seeing marketplaces and watching the dealings going .on brought images of people in Biblical times and their behavior). My group shared many experi- ences during the trip and my friends and I kept in touch by short-wave radio. At night, we'd drop an antenna from a hotel window and talk to Scandinavia or Eastern Europe with a small, compact low-powered transceiv- er that we carried with us. During the day trips, we used our hand- held radios to catch up on where we were or what we were seeing or talk to local amateurs in Israel. One day, a woman reported her purse was missing and we stopped to search. There were some youth nearby and our assigned tour guide began talking with them. They were standing at a distance and saw us talking on our radios that we carried. One of them said "You get your C.I.A. - -out of here!" I was suddenly aware of how our innocent past- time appeared to someone who did not understand. Somehow we were seen as some sort of threat, or more than just visitors. Later, a young woman came up to me and began to "flirt." After bantering for awhile, she asked me, "What is the radio for?" I told her that it was linked to a network in Jerusalem and thought about showing the license issued by the government there, but held back. She walked off and i wondered if my radio was the real purpose of our con- versation. It occurred to me that many of the simple, innocent things we do are quickly misinter- preted by others when they do not know us, may distrust our motives, live in a world different than our own. I stopped to reflect as best I could about what their life must be like; greater fears from potential threats, more diffi- cult times with trust, worrying about anything the least bit out- of-the-ordinary that was going on around them. Maybe I could begin to see, as I thought about it, how I might appear as a menace of some short in a shakier world than my own, someone not understood, someone a little dif- ferent and therefore to be watched and not trusted. Then I remembered another who had come into that region; who from His birth was seen as a menace to a shaky world, who was not understood by the leaders of His day, who was different in what He taught and did; who was watched and not trusted. I remembered His words at the end; "Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing (John 23:24)" and realized that sometimes we are misunderstood, disliked, seen as a threat even if our intentions, hopes, concerns are the best. One of the memories that I car- ried away along with the under- standings about Biblical places or Scriptural teachings was the tragedy of mistrust and suspicion, and how it leads to "unwarranted crucifixions." That's true today, everywhere, and an unexpected blessing from a trip that taught more than expected. Community Links. Individual Voices. I 'i STEEL.

PAHOKEE Over 200 youth and adults from the South Flori- da District (including 18 from Pahokee/Canal Point) of the Church of the Nazarene descended on. Pahokee the weekend of Nov. 10-12, for an Extreme Encounter mission. The days consisted of hard work and the evenings consisted of a com- munity meal, fellowship and the dynamic Kurt Salierno, Pastor of Church on the Street in Atlanta GA who spoke to Extreme Encounter '06 participants. The group was representative of 85 churches in the South Flori- da District with each young adult paying $49 for the privilege of sleeping on church floors, taking cold showers and eating outside under a huge tent. Oh yes, and working hard all day in the South Florida sun. And they did work hard; the projects they complet- ed included: painting three pavil- ions at Martin Luther King Park, painting the exterior walls at the "old Western Auto" building, painting the bathroom facilities at the Pahokee "Sprinkler Park" and also painting two buildings at the Pahokee Marina. The youth also replaced the roof at the Canal Point Hispanic Church, and for a resident in Citi- zens Village. They also moved a storage shed, and demolished a storage building and cleaned up a yard for area residents. At the Saturday worship serv- ice, Pahokee Mayor J.P. Sasser presented a plaque to the District Church of the Nazarene for their hard work and dedication.

The Tigers found themselves in a pure defensive tussle and finally got the offense going enough to prevail. The win propelled the Tigers to a state championship semifinal re- match this Friday night against Hol- lywood Chaminade at Cane Field. It was a strange contest for hun- dreds of Tiger fans that trekked through several 1-75 traffic jams to get there. The Tigers were not scor- ing at will as they seemingly had done this season. And while the faithful probably never felt that the Tigers were actually going to lose, they also didn't have any firm belief that they were going to win either. In the end, the game was won using all facets of football. The defense stood out for the entire game, save a single pass play. The offense was awakened for a late second period drive and then con- trolled the ball in the second half. And the Tiger kicking game was solid, with kicker Will Davis making the crucial point after following the Tigers' lone touchdown of the night and then hitting a 37-yard field goal from the right side hash marks to nail down the Tiger victory. Clewiston's offense got off to another slow first half, a pattern that has evolved over the second half of the regular season. After being held to a lone first down, 12 snaps and only 37 yards of total offense in the first 21 minutes of the game, the defense took the ball away from Tampa Catholic as the Crusaders were driving towards the Tiger end zone. Tiger linebacker David Pope fell on a loose ball at the Clewiston 16 with only 2:52 remaining in the half. Quarterback Jared Combass then hooked up with flanker John Melton, who made a falling acrobatic catch, for a 28-yard gain. Next came a flats pass to Omar Smith for 8 more yards. Tampa Catholic was then flagged for illegal substitution, a 15-yard infraction, followed on the next play by anoth- er 15-yard walk off for a personal foul. The second penalty was important to the Tigers, as it f6l- lowed a run on which tailback Dar- ris Hughes was pinned for a 10 yard loss. Hughes came right back with a hard running gain of 12 yards to the Crusader 31. From there, Com- bass dropped back and spotted Tailback Darris Hughes sets sail up the middle. Submitted photo/Jeff Barwick Tailback Collin Ricketts on a late game counter play that was good for 18 yards. Melton in coverage near the goal line on the corner. The pass had to be perfect and it was, with Combass putting it where no one but Melton had a chance of catching it. Melton pulled it in over his outside shoulder and made sure his feet got into the end zone. Will Davis' point after kick evened the score at 7 each. The Crusaders had drawn first blood on a 50-yard pass from quar- terback Dickie Delama to wideout Eric Gerkin on the third play of the second period. There was some coverage mix- up in the Tiger secondary that led to the score. The Tiger defense went into the contest knowing they were facing the best passer they had seen on the season, with Dela- ma completing about 65 percent of his passes. The strategy was to stop the deep pass and control the underneath passing attempts and it worked for the entire game except of this one long throw. The Tigers took the second half kickoff and drove 66 yards in 1.1 plays getting to the Crusader 20 yard line. The drive was highlight- ed by hard running, helmet smash- ing carries by Darris Hughes for gains of 23, 12, 13 and 11 yards. Faced with a fourth down and five, Tiger coach Larry Antonacci sent Davis out to do his work and the kick was perfect. The following kickoff was returned 51 yards by the Crusaders' Christian Green but their offense got no yardage on three plays and they went for a 55- yard field goal. Kelley did not catch the ball clean and kick returned John Melton, at first seemingly puzzled about whether a short field goal could be returned, snatched the ball up at the two yard line and raced 62 yards before being tackled at the Crusader 36. But, after an immediate rushing first down, the Tigers stalled at the Tampa Catholic 20 yard line and Davis was called upon again for an identical 37-yard attempt. This time the kick sailed a little left of the tar- get and the ball went over to the Crusaders. Delama found a hot hand as he connected oh four straight comple- tions, all for short yardage. He then decided to go for broke and tossed a pass deep down the center of the field that was apparently out of everyone's reach. Everyone except Tiger deep back Omar Smith who somehow got in position and made a giant leap and pulled in the interception as he hit the ground at the Tiger 25 yard line. The Tigers could not materialize on the turnover and went three and out, punting the ball early in the final period. From midfield with 11 minutes remaining on the clock, Tampa Catholic decided to try and grind it out on the ground, although they had only netted 21 yards rushing on 17 attempts in the first three peri- ods. They eked out two first downs and got to the Tiger 31. Two more running plays left them with a third and four for a first down. Delama dropped back to pass I ,I.. ~ ,* o ^ .... Tiger cornerback Sim Putnam puts a hit on a Tampa Catholic receiver after a short gain. and Tiger defensive end Delvin Hughes was immediately in his face, dropping him for a sack and an eight-yard loss. Like the decision to abandon a passing attack that had been there only offensive spark of the night, Tampa Catholic then made another questionable deci- sion to punt the ball away from the Tiger 37. The ball came down at the 10-yard line in the middle of Crusad- er coverage backs but Tiger John Melton caught the ball on the move and got a 10-yard return. From there, the Tiger offensive line and backs started a twelve-play drive that just burned up the remaining six minutes in the game. But it took a lot longer to play six minutes off the clock. With a little over 2 min- utes remaining, a momentary power failure put out the stadium lights. It was about 20 minutes before the lights cooled enough to come back on and continue the game. As the final horn sounded, the Tigers were knocking on the door at the Crusader 3-yard line. "We played a heck of game against a tough opponent. Our fan support tonight meant a lot to our kids. We had a big send-off from Clewiston this afternoon and then we had a huge turnout from our Tiger parents and fans," said Tiger Coach Larry Antonacci. 'After that sluggish first half performance, we gave the football to our offensive . line at halftime and told them this was their game to win or lose," he added. "Our offensive line domination in the second half tilted things in our favor." The strategy worked very well as the Crusaders only had 16 offensive snaps in the entire sec- ond half. John Melton was almost too excited to talk after the game. "We are going to state," he said. "Jared laid that touchdown pass in where only I could catch it and it was a strike." Kicker Will Davis gave credit to his kicking team specialists. "Snapper Kale Mitchell was right on target and Melton got the ball down perfectly. I just went through the mechanics of kicking the ball." Tailback Darris Hughes couldn't stand still as he talked about the game. "I just ran as hard as I could and when the defense got in my way I just lowered, my head." On the night, Hughes had 110 yards on 22 carries. While the offense was keeping the ball out of the Crusader's offense's hand during the second half, the Tiger defense was busy at work as it was for the whole game. They stuffed a pretty good Cru- sader running game, allowing them only 34 yards on 24 carries. Linebacker Collin Ricketts had seven solo tackles and corner Jasper Hunter chipped in six. From his defensive end position, Delvin Hughes also blocked a Cru- sader punt. The State Semifinal contest on Friday night should be a great match-up. Chaminade advanced by beat- ing Plantation American Heritage 21-0 in their game. This is the same American Heritage team that Clewiston beat 31-14 at the outset of the season. Game time is 7:30 and a sellout crowd is expected. 1 2 3 4 Final Clewiston 0 7 3 0 10 Tampa Catholic 0 7 0 0 7 Scoring: 2Q: Tampa Catholic: Eric Gerkin, 50 yd pass from Dickie Delama; Kick Matt Kelley Clewiston: John Melton, 31 yd pass from Jared Combass; Kick Will Davis 3Q: Clewiston: Will Davis, 37 yd field goal Individual Statistics: Rushing (Attempts/Yards): Darris Hughes, 22/110; Collin Ricketts, 6/40; David Pope, 4/14; Jared Combass, 2/-1; Carl White- head, 2/10.

Cedric Taylor and Nate Brinkley combined for 305 rushing yards and Josh McGregor threw two touchdown passes, both to Anthony Nelson. The touchdown passes were a 6-yard pass and a 40- yard Hail Mary pass at the end of the first half. McGregor also had a rushing touchdown on a quarterback sneak, while the Glades day defense only allowed Fort Meade 242 yards of total offense. Glades Day will be playing Miami-Dade Christian on the road next week in the state semifinals. In the Class 3A regional final, Glades Central dominated the LaBelle Cowboys, 49-10. The Raiders initially scored on a 90- yard kickoff return by Deonte Thompson in the first quarter. Then Glades Central scored four times in the second quarter by four different players. They scored again in the third quarter, with a 14-yard passing touchdown from quarterback Bryan Mann to Thompson. The Raiders final score would be on a 1-yard touchdown run by Antwon Chilson. LaBelle's only scoring would come from an opening strike by Ray Hernandez, with a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter, and an 84-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Caleb Jordan to receiver Chad Lutkenhaus. Glades Central held LaBelle to fewer that 150 yards of total offense. If Pahokee, Clewiston and Glades Day win their games next week, they will all be at Dolphin Stadium for the weekend of Dec. 1-2. It would be Muck football indeed. Submitted photo/Martin Espinoza Last year's U-14 Elks Soccer Shoot State Champion Brittany Bacallao with District and Regional chairperson Lillian Riley.

V V" t 1 2 1 :S Seminoles have own feast traditions Florida Archives/General Collection Seminole women set out Thanksgiving Day dinner in the mid- 1950s. Note on back of picture says, "Wild turkey (which is not a Seminole tradition), venison & pie." Seminole men folk wait while the women prepare Thanksgiv- ing dinner in the 1950s at Brighton Reservation. By MaryAnn Morris INI FLORIDA Feasting is common to most celebrations. Food is a human tradition that cuts right through every cul- tural barrier. Of course, not everyone likes the same thing. That's where tradition comes in. Tradition comes from what foods are available. That's why in New England, oyster stuffing might be more common than the Southern cornbread stuffing and bread stuffing is traditional in the Northeast. And all shades in between. Native Americans had their holiday traditions as well. Their holiday traditions were different than those of the white settlers. This lead some European set- tlers to assume Native Ameri- cans were "savages" since their food, holidays, language, tradi- tions were different. Native American culture was rich and varied as the land they called home, America. The Seminole people of Flori- da had traditions and their foods were the foods that grew or could be caught here in Florida. Much of their culture seems to have beer lost, perhaps because their language was not wTitten. Old photographs of Thanks- giving celebrations indicate that Seminoles have adopted this uniquely American tradition. Seminole foods involved sal- ads, breads, soups, sweets, veg- etables and meat: deer, alligator, fish, frog legs, sweet berries and honey. "They don't eat turkey or rab- bit," though said Ann McCud- den, director of the Ah-ta-thi-ki Seminole Museum on the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation. They dried and ground Coon- tie, a Florida shrub to make flour which they made into bread. Fried bread is most common. Years ago, a pot of "Sof-kee" would be kept hot over the fire in case any one was hungry.

They did not eal three meals a day, but ate as they were hungry. Most formal cooking was done on special occasions according to the Ah-ta-thi-ki Museum Web site. From the Seminole people we learned to make swamp cabbage. Here is a recipe from the A-ta-thi-ki Web site: Taal-holelke (Boiled Swamp Cabbage) Cut out the heart of the cab- bage palm.

Heat lard or butter in a large skillet and saute the alligator pieces quickly. Do not overcook or they will be tough. Serve immediately. Follow the above recipe and brown the alligator meat as directed. As soon as it is browned, add 2 cups of water and 4- cup fresh lemon juice to. the skillet.

There were 30 people in attendance including parents, teachers, and school administrators. "This is the largest turnout we have ever had at a meeting," said Rhonda Perry, former Vice Presi- dent of the PUPS Partnership. The PUPS Partnership was originally formed to help our school achieve the prestigious Five Star award. Once the school achieved that honor, a few hard working members kept the PUPS Partner- ship afloat. The PUPS Partnership was dissolved at the meeting and the PTO was established. It is the new PTO's desire to recruit as many members as pos- sible and for our organization to continue to grow. This organiza- tion's primary goal is to raise Submitted photo/Angela Lanier Costume Day at MHHS Moore Haven High School's Homecoming Week celebra- tions included a costume day.

In Girl Scouting, girls experi- ence a wide variety of activities including camping, performing arts, sports, science, cooking, and money management. Do you know any middle or high school age girls who would enjoy the leadership experience, college and career exploration, travel and opportunities for com- munity service that Girl Scouts offer?

The online competition is done in the style of a game show and is open to all teens in grades 9 through 12. Teams must have a coach or sponsor, and they must sign up and participate during the time- frame for their state's compete tion. When a team has qualify- ing scores, they will be invited to an in-person challenge State winners will go on to a national competition. Mr. Spero's team must contin- ually compete online in order to maintain a number one state ranking. They will have three practice tests that are followed by three actual tests. After all competition is done in January, the team will have learned practical, real world knowledge that helps them spot and avoid frauds and scams and they will be able to interact with teen peers in their state and across the nation.

Five perfectly formed petals with golden stamens emerging from a tiny apple-green dot of a center, each on its own stem that branch- es off from the central one that sometimes reaches a height of 12 to 14 inches. It's impossible to find:the plants until those little white faces appear: Sabatia brevifolia Rafinesque, a native member of the Gentian family known throughout the area as the Alva Flower. The reason for this name is simply that the little hamlet of Alva was named for it by its founder, Captain Peter Nelson,' more than a century ago. It's not unusual for the Alva flower to grow within a clump of tough, native grass. No luck that first day of looking but somehow the, inward determination was to look again tomorrow and the next tomorrow. It was on that second tomor- row, on the way to the roadside mailbox,"that all the looking' paid off! A sizeable clump, about a foot across with every little face turned full-face to the sun. There was nothing to do except hope that no one else would see them and be tempted to try to dig and replant them. Sabatia brevifolia cannot be transplanted for reasons no one seems to know. The sister brevifolia is red and even more scarce than the white. (Truth is, the "red" is more deep pink than red.) Time was when an old road not far from Grassy Run, led to a native pasture that was more or less dotted with the red ones which grow somewhat taller than the white. It's now been several years since finding any in that old, neg- lected pasture. And only once was a red one found on Grassy Run and that was several years ago. Although it may sound like a tall tale, one little face turned up to the sun. sported two pinky-red petals and three while ones. Who knows what might have happened on its way to bloom- ing! A neighbor takes to playing hooky about as much as I do, so now and then my steps will head northwest as hers head southeast and so we finally meet. On one of these treks last year she told me about an unusual wildflower that had come up only inches from a Sabal palm grow- ing very near her driveway. It grew fast, she said, and tall - School News MHHS warns of advertising scam Moore Haven Junior-Senior High School would like to notify the Moore Haven community that advertising for football schedule posters is being sold by All-Star Publishing under the auspices of supporting our school.

White Goldenrod. some eight feet -opped ,1 ith clus- ters of small snov.-, ',hitl- ,iais\ like flowers. Neither of us could even guess as to its identity, But I knew she would not give up. So after considerable research her determination paid off: Verbesina virginica, commonly known as crown beard or front- weed or white crown beard. And the small print stated that this striking wildflower grows along woodland edges of sea ham- mocks, or wet hammocks, at the edges of streams, and in marsh banks of meadow s throughout Florida, to south central South Carolina and souiii\fest North Carolina. Yet, Verbesina virginica is seldom sighted. .- It seems to take kindly to being close neighbors with saw palmet- to (Serenoa repens) for reasons quite unknown.

This is a native pea- green orchid that blooms' on a trunk or stem, a slightly da-:rkei green, that grows and holds itself erect. The bloom march up and down the stem with a life-span of a co'upl-,: :-s. These rare little, orchids were discovered for the first time in the United States in neighboring Lee County in 1878. Since its original discovery in Florida, H. distans has been found in only a few places. It prefers dense, hardwood forests where it spreads its rosette of glossy, ten- der, green leaves on top of the damp humus of the forest. In August of 1960, thriving colonies were discovered in a pic- turesque setting in the massive, ancient forest oi Collier Seminole State Park. Then in September. Hurricane Donna passed through southern Florida laying waste to .all in its path leaving a sickening, unbtlie able six-foot blanket of wilting leaves and limbs, dying epiphytic plants and bruised and battered rosettes of Habenaria, Following this disastrous act of Mother Nature, a dense mass of %\eedv underbrush took over, \\ here lor centuries had been an extraordinary tropical lorest \While its tirst cousin is not in the kast rate, white "golden" rod is. The goldenrod family is Solida- go fistulosa P. Miller, perennial herbs with leafy, pubescent stems which grow as much as two meters tall with numerous small flower heads. The white goldenrodd" is another story. Its growth habit is just the same, the difference being that it is pure white. Qnl) once did I find a fairly large stand of these white ones, and that in late rnid-Nobember alongside a deserted roadwa) but alas not on our land. Consequently I was reluctant to stake off this group- ing, more from the standpoint of drawing attention to it than any- thing else. Admittedly, I was taken with such an unusual discovery. The. next year, although diligently watching and waiting thete was no sign, not even one plant could be found. SThe pine lily (Lilium catesbaei Walter) written about recently has now dropped its brightly colored perianth segments three s',pals and three petals. This year only one was found and that on the west barn road. It too was grow- ing in a tough stand of native grass. Watching daily for seed pods to start appearing was an exercise in futility. Not even a sign of a seed. pod! Just a lone, slim greenish stem standing straight up from the clump of grass in which it was growing. Although a popular Book, Florida Wild Flowers, lists the pine lily as a frequent grower in pine flat- woods and savannas throughout nearly all Florida, I can only think this information may have been accurate 24 years ago when the book was published (1982) but no longer does it hold true. Itis sad to think that in another 24 years even if there are those around who will try to respect and preserve at least some of these magnificent jewels of Moth- er Nature, it will be another case of too little, too late. 4" -'-- 1.~ S- P 2 TOUCHDOWN o/ BREAKFAST 10% OFF: Pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon i Breakfast, : strips and 2 sausage links only .$429 SLunch or SDinner IMst Present Coupon * Not valid w/any other I Suffer Exp 11/30/06 ! ------ J S t i 2 u :10% OFFE i Breakfast, SLunch or 3 nJJa C -L Il iT ''' I:1 10)30 \\'e t Sugarland Hv,-, Clev.iston.
