is past the end of its life.cycle

Playing hooky



one more time


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Special to Glades County
Democrat
GLADES COUNTY-- Just
because we're all grown up
doesn't mean we're too grown
up to play hooky. 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

every foot of the roadside try-

flowers, native that is, that have
been dwindling almost to the
point of extinction.
Nothing.

MHES Turkey Trot


Day benefits reading


Funds also used for
memorial markers

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN Moore
Haven Elementary School's
Second Annual Renaissance
Walk-a-thon on Friday was
held Nov. 17. This fund raiser
will help purchase new books
and allow students to take field
trips. This year the walk-a-thon
is called The Turkey Trot.;
All grades participated by
walking the track on the south
side of the high school. Music
and beverages helped make it
a fun event for the children.
They were able to raise more
than $2,700.
Also, part of the funds will
be used to buy memorial mark-


ers for three students who died
in tragic accidents during the
2005-2006 school year.
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.


INI/Nena Bolan
All grades from Moore Haven Elementary School participated in the Turkey Trot walk-a-
thon fund raiser. They walked around the southwest bend of the track field. Energetic
MHES students enjoy being outside as they stride for the Turkey Trot walk-a-thon.

Power lines may be kept out of Everglades


WEST PALM BEACH New
power transmission lines origi-
nally planned to run for approxi-
'mately 8 miles through Ever-
,glades National Park might now
'be located outside the Park
'boundaries, thanks to a utility
easement authorized today by
the South Florida Water Manage-
ment District. 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

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."

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."

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)-

Mum's the word for Thanksgiving color


By Dan Culbert
IFAS/Extension
Horticulture Agent -
Picture the traditional Thanks-
giving dinner table and most folks
,will see a beautiful floral arrange-
:ment or centerpiece. 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 mon to see front porches in the fall
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.

Big Benefit Barbecue invites locals


By Barbara Oehlbeck
Glades County Democrat
MUSE As one West Glades
teacher said, "There's more to
schooling than reading writing ,
and 'rithmetic. Yet there's no
substitute for these basics in
education."
And she went on to say, "We
all need some of life's 'extras'
like swings in the playground,
books in the library and wonder-
ful field trips now and then."
Well, it's these "extras" that
will be funded by West Glades'
Big Benefit Barbecue scheduled
for Friday, Dec. 1, from 11 a.m. to


1 p.m. at the school.
Since this is a "Take Out" bar-
beque there'll be no dish-wash-
ing for lunch or supper. Just stop
by the school and drool over the
delicious fragrance of just-barbe-
qued chicken along with savory
baked beans, crisp cole slaw and
rolls All for just $6. If five or
more dinners are ordered,
there's free delivery.
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.

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.

provided as a public service by

ation, the nation's largest organi-

als. You can learn more about the

Question: Dear Doc Savvy. 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. Get-
ting 4-5 injections a year is fine in
his case. If he is having any side
affects, it may be a slight frequen-
cy in water intake and urination.
Cortisone in general is metab-


In the end, tainted sugar didn't ruin Halloween


WASHINGTON Refined
Mexican sugar that was not fit for
human consumption could have
found its way into trick-or-treaters'
bags this Halloween if not for strict
U.S. quality controls.
"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.

Doc Savvy
olized through the liver and long
term excessive treatments may
cause liver problems, and other
long term side: affects like Cush-
ing's Disease. So, if those things
were to happen, then yes his life
span could be affected. Those


more effects are generally
seen with high dose long acting
products like Depo Medrol and
Vetalog. Also, it is important to
take into consideration what
may be the lesser of two evils. Is
it better to have your pet com-
fortable with mild side effects or
uncomfortable without any?
That is a personal choice for you,
the pet owner and it should be
discussed in detail with your vet-
erinarian. So as my biggest fan,
Marvin, please talk to me about
any unanswered questions or
concerns you may have..
I hope that helps, Marvin.
Happy Thanksgiving, Doc Savvy.

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.

By The Reverend Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph. 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.

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.
"These kids performed many
acts of kindness in this commu-

nity this weekend," said Mayor
Sasser. "Many churches make
promises in this community but
this is one church that always
delivers."
Many people in Pahokee
remember Pastor Danny Moore
and the Church of the Nazarene
for disaster relief work in the
community in the last few years.
Pastor Moore was not surprised
by the turnout.
"A lot of these kids really
enjoy helping the community on
these missions, its good for them
and we look for even greater
involvement in the future," he
said.
For this weekend Pahokee
was the recipient and several
area residents are grateful.

Tigers win region, prepare for showdown with Chaminade


By Jeff Barwick
The Clewiston High School
Tigers outlasted a stubborn Tampa
Catholic team last Friday night and
brought home a 10-7 victory. 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

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

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.

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

Glades Central held LaBelle

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. Sof-
kee is porridge, kind of like a

cooked cereal made with corn
or hominy, salt and water. 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. Strip off the outer
hard tough fronds to reach the
actual white heart. This is the
tenderest part and should be cut
into I 2-inch strips or cubes.
Cook slowly in veiy little water
for 20-30 minutes, adding two
tablespoons of cane syrup or
sugar and salt to taste. Stir fre-

quently to prevent sticking.
(Swamp cabbage appears on
your grocery shelves as "Hearts
of Palm.")
Alligator Tail
2 pounds alligator tail meat
Juice of lemon
I cup flour
1 garlic clove
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten
2 cup lard or butter
Cut tail into strips lengthwise,
4 x 2-inches wide. Sprinkle with
lemon juice.
Mix flour, garlic powder,


paprika, salt and pepper. Pat the
alligator pieces dry and dip into
flour, then into beaten eggs. Let
eggs drip off and dip into flour
again.
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. Cover and simmer for
2 to 3 hours or until very tender.

School Happenings


MHES forms new PTO
On Monday, Nov. 13, a new
Parent Teacher Organization
(PTO) was formed at Moore
Haven Elementary School. 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

Costume Day at MHHS
Moore Haven High School's Homecoming Week celebra-
tions included a costume day. Alisha Beck and Patricia
Rivera were among the students who showed their school
pride by dressing in costumes.


money to support the students of
Moore Haven Elementary School.
Our first fundraiser is already off
to a great start! Lodge Construc-
tion and Home & Ranch' Real
Estate Company donated a week-
end getaway to Nickelodeon
Suites in Orlando. The package is
valued at over $600. For a dona-
tion of $5 you will have a chance
to win this amazing trip. The PTO'
will also participate in Christmas
on the Caloosahatchee by having
a snowball throw and a sleigh
ride! Come out and join us on
Dec. 14, at the Tom Perry Park to
try your luck at the snowball
throw. The PTO meetings will be
held on the second Monday of
each month at 5 p.m. in the MHES
Media Center. For more informa-
tion please contact Shannon Bass'
at (863) 946-0737.
MHHS Open House
Ohn Nov. 7, Moore Haven
Junior-Senior High School held

MW'f


an open house for all students
and parents. The event was held
in the school media center and
refreshments were served. Each
department displayed informa-
tion about the exciting things
that are going on in their classes.
Student work was displayed
along with graphs and charts
showing student progress. Par-
ents were able to talk with teach-
ers and schedule conferences to
discuss their child's grades. One
of the most exciting things about
the evening was the interaction

among teachers and the sharing
of great things that are happen-

dance was low and we would
like to encourage all parents to
take advantage of similar oppor-
tunities in the future. Also, we
encourage parents to call or e-
mail teachers with whom they
would like to have a conference.
A special thanks to Tammy
Humphries, chair, of the School.
Advisory Council, and her
daughter Teal for providing the
refreshments.

Girl Scout troops are forming


FORT MYERS New Girl
Scout troops are beginning now
in the Clewiston and Moore
Haven areas for girls in kinder-
garten through sixth grade.
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? We are also interested in
beginning a group especially for
older girls.


For more information on Girl
Scouting in Hendry and Glades
Counties, contact Barbara Van
Essen at the Girl Scouts of Gulf-
coast Florida Service Center at 1-

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

along that stretch of dry, sandy
soil that my eyes were glued to.
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 -

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

battered rosettes of Habenaria,

\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.
