Energy meeting


ends by raising'

Sierra Club
sponsors film
and discussion

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN A meet-
ing to discuss energy sources,
energy conservation and the
impact of a coal powered plant
in Glades County was held last
Saturday at Saint Joseph's
Catholic Church.
The event was hosted by
Bob and Jan Krasowski of the
Calusa chapter of the Sierra
Club. Fifty to sixty people
attended the showing of a doc-
umentary film called "Kilowatt
Ours." Afterwards, a discus-
sion was directed by Mr. Kra-


sowski.
The film, "Kilowatt Ours",
expressed a viewpoint that is
critical of the use of coal pow-
ered plants. It depicted how
the coal mining industry
extracts, coal from the
Appalachian Mountains in
West Virginia. The process is
called mountain top removal.
It showed how entire moun-
tains are excavated. Represen-
tatives from the coal mining
industry were not present in
the film.
The documentary film also
brought up the subject of air
and water pollutants that may
cause,' or aggravate health
conditions.

2 LIFESTYLES Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, November 30, 2006


CLEWISTON CREW helped
facilitate reasons to give thanks this
holiday season. On Satuiday, No-.
19, a group of seven from Furst Pres-
b;l:rian Chuich in Pompano
Beach traveled to help repair Gail's
of Lakeport home that was
destroyed by Hurricane Wilma.
The previous week, Manassas St.
Thomas United Methodist Church
came for five days and replaced
four roofs and worked on a home
in Moore Haven with interior dam-
age. Three local individuals, Daniel
Luna, Danny Luna, Gregorio Garcia
also helped this month by repairing
an elderly man's trailer and the trail-
er of a grandmother who lives with
her, daughter and six grandchil-
dren. Thanks to a gift from the
Rotary Club, we were also able to
hire Titus Smith Services t6 replace
Marcus's roof, porch and interior
walls. Visit CREW's blog site
http://huricanerecovery.blogspot.c
uom/ and Web site
http://home.earthlink.net/-huri-,
canerecovery/ for pictures and
more information.
Three local volunteers, Daniel
Luna, Danny Luna, Gregorio Garcia
worked to repair Calvin's trailer.
Calvin is an 82-year-old who has
been a resident of the Clewiston
area for 33 years. He supported his
family by working at Shawnee
farms.
These local volunteers stepped
up and helped install a new door,
trim and molding that were
destroyed by Hurricane Wilma. A
grant from the NFL helped pay for
the supplies and any costs the vol-
unteers incurred. This same group
went to Kathleen's home.
Kathleen is a 72-year-old
woman who lives with her daugh-
ter and six grandchildren. Hurri-
cane Wilma damaged her home's
roof, ceiling and back door.
Between insurance and her own
savings she was able to get the
money after a year's time to fix the
roof with help of friends. She was
also able to buy a door, but had no
way to install or the any money to
pay anyone to install it. She shared
the following with us:
"CREW has helped me tremen-
dously. I didn't have finances and
they helped by putting in a back
door for me. Also they kept in
touch with me. The door fits great
so there is no hot or cold air com-
ing in. There are also no spiders or
animals coming in from outside,"
she said. A grant through the NFL
also helped with costs incurred by
volunteers in this home as well.
A talented and spirited group of
20 volunteers from St. Thomas
United Methodist Church in Manas-
sas, Va., came to repair roofs. They
slept on cots in a local church and
worked from sun up to sun down
(sometimes past sun down). The


first home they worked on was
William's in Clewiston.
'Williarri had massive damage to
his hornme from Hurricane \\'ilma A
year after the storm he still had a
"blue roof" and damaged win-
dows. With the help of funding
from the NFL for materials and vol-
unteer costs, this group w as able to
completely replace the roof
(including rotted plyw oodl While
here, the group also worked on
Luis's home in Moore Haveni.
Luis is a 50-year-old disabled
man living in a low income rented
home. The roof was damaged and
the house leaked under the door,
there' was a huge \\hole in the
kitchen ceiling from a water leak,
the floor was spongy throughout
the house and the sink needs to be
replaced. CREW initially tarped the
home to provide him with tempo-
rary relief. The owner shared that
he did not have the funds to fix the
home and he rented to Luis at a
low rate, since he had been there a
long time. He signed an agreement
to not raise the rent or displace Luis
for three years if CREW was able to
help make some repairs. Our Vir-
ginia volunteers were able to
replace his roof, plywood and all.
The NFL helped cover the costs for
this home as well.
This incredible group while
here also worked oh Altovise's
home. She is a single mother of
three daughters who has lived in
Hendry County for three years. She
suffers from Lupus as well. In June,
we tarped her home to provide
temporary relief. She had insur-
ance, however, her deductible was
almost 50 percent. She used her
insurance money and then United
Church of Christ Disaster Assis-
tance pitched in the remainder of
the funds needed. The Virginia vol-
unteers replaced some plywood
and all of the roofing. The final roof
this wonderful group from Virginia
worked on was Blanca's. She is a
disabled adult who lives alone with
limited functioning. She received
funding from FEMA but used the
funds to purchase clothing, food
and other daily necessities. Her roof
needs to be repaired, however she
is unable to effectively advocate for
herself, she has a guardian who
provides assistance as well, but
they were unable to get the roof
repaired.
The United Church of Christ Dis-
aster assistance also paid for these
materials as well. The UCC group
also sent a film CREW out to docu-
ment our volunteer's worldk on the
homes!
The last home they worked on
(yes that's four complete roofs and
then some in four and a half days)

The local area is still under

shortage.
On Nov. 9, 2006, the Governing
Board of the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD)
declared a mandatory water

Hendry, Glades, Lee, Okee-

Florida Relay becomes

more user-friendly


TALLAHASSEE On Tuesday,
Nov. 21, the Florida Public Service
Commission (PSC) approved a
change to the Florida Relay Service
(Relay) aimed at making the call-
ing service more user-friendly.,
Relay operators will now be able
to inform the called party (who are
able to hear) that a person who is
deaf or hearing impaired is calling.
The change should l ilp reduce'e
the number of calls that cannot be
completed because the h-aiiring
person is nrot tamiliai 'ith a relay
call. In the past, people unliTi-iliar
with how Relay \\oiks wouijld
often hang up when eceiiring a
call from the Relio' pe,-a,.or think-
ing it was a solicitor call The PSC


anticipates that the change will
also provide customers with a
more friendly and warm interac-
tion wvilh Relay operators.
Florida Relay is a service that
allows a deaf or hearing impaired
person to contact a hearing per-
son through a specialized opera-
tor. A deaf or impaired person
uses a teletype machine to type
and receive text messages from
the operator while the operator
voices the conv ersation to the
h.ariiig person. The specialized
telephone equipment and ring
signaling devices provided
itii'ughi this p1ic.'glam are luoaled

'Tis the Season to



switch drug plans


By Grace-Marie Turner
It's that time of year again,
when gift-giving, good food and
family get-togethers are on all
our minds. But amidst the hustle
and bustle of holiday activities,
seniors enrolled in the new
Medicare prescription drug
plans need to be thinking about
whether they want to siay with
their current plan. For those
interested in makiniig a tvitli,
now is the time.
It's also the timi-e io sIeionis
who didn't pick a Medicui iling
,plan before last May's cut-ott
date to enroll. Every month that
seniors delay costs them an addi
tional 1 percent In premiums.
Between Nov. 15, and Dec.
31, every year, Medicare hosis dn
open enrollment period ill
which seniors can reexaiiiiiie
their current prescription drug
coverage and switch or sign up
for the first time. (Those with
retiree coverage through their
former employers generally
don't need to do anything if their
'employer offers a qualifYing Part
D plan.)
This yearly period allows sen-
iors to take advantage of the
many competing offerings, pro-
vided under Medicare's drug
plan and pick the one that's best
ccr [ e--i.
The open-erro'lment period
also keeps plan providers on
-i "- *1 E S .
'.'.-.~r:2 mhat beneficiaries
have the option to switch to, a
competitor means that insurers
are always trying to come up
with better plans which results
in lower prices and a broader
array of choices.
This option to choose
between a host of private insur-
ers is what makes Medicare Part
D so different from other govern-
ment programs.
By leveraging the power of
private-sector competition,
Medicare Part D provides more
drugs than the frequently vaunt-
ed programs in Europe or Cana-
da. Part D is also vastly superior
to the drug benefit program run
by the Department of Veterans
Affairs, which uses a more tradi-'
tional government- run model.
Almost 90 percent of all pre-
scription medications on the
market are currently available
through Part D.
That's in sharp contrast to
other healthcare systems across
the world. In France, for exam-
ple, the government recently


asked doctors to prescribe fewer
medicines to cut costs. In Ger-
many, many of the most-innova-
tive drugs aren't rteimbursable.
And even in the United States,
the Depailinelit of Veterans
Affalis relfuses 1 t)cover many of
the newest, most-eifective phar-
macolticils unless other drugs
are tirst Irie .
When one compares any of
these programs, to Pari D, there's
simply no comparlsonI.
That's probably why most
seniors .iare pleased with their
current Part D plans. Earlier this
year, the Kalser Family Founda.
hton reported that more than
eight in 10 seniors enrolled in the
service are satisfied with the
plan they picked; that their initial
experiences have been positive;
and three out of four would pick
the same plan again.
In fact, the drug benefit is
actually offering more and better
choices than anyone anticipated
when Congress crallted the pro-
gram. Although the government
estimated liaot seniors would pay
$37 ci morith in premiums for
their Medicare drug coverage,
tie average premium has turned
oIut to be much lower just $25
a month..
Tliese choices have resulted
in some great deals for health-
care consumers.
Some prescription drug.
plans, for example. cost as little
as S3 a month.
Others eliminate the $250
deductible before coverage kicks
in.
Many plans are providing
drug coverage in the infamous
"donut hole" the gap in the
standard plan where insurance
coverage is interrupted between
moderate and high drug expens-
es. As a result, the majority of
America's seniors 72 percent
- now have some drug cover-
age in the donut hole.
Medicare Part D's success
owes much to the many options
it provides to beneficiaries. This
holiday season, seniors who
aren't fully satisfied with their
coverage should take advantage
ot those options by switching to
the plan that's best for them.
And for those who haven't
signed up vel, this is the time.

Law Matters


By Barbara Oeh!beck
GCD
Rick Dantzler's new hrtok is an
interesting read of leual fact n, Il fic-
tion. To better under'.tanid i ii legal
issues presented in LAW MAT-
TERS, it is helpful'to have a basic
understanding of our coirntiliition-
al form of government, the law and
the courts. The extensive Introduc-
tion to this book provides context
to many of the stories contained
herein.
'Itelve fictional short stories
with a preface/introduction to eai h
one that explains in detail the legal
points being made in the story.
Unlike most books with a general
overall preface, usually in the
beginning pages, Mr. Dantzler has
written a preface for each story
which precedes the story. Natural-
ly, since the author is an attorney,
these preface pieces are written to
the letter of the law. E.ach one
addresses a different facet of law,
Rick's research relies heavily on
Black's Law Dictionary, which is
widely considered one ot the
"Bibles" of la%. While the various
characters you will meet are fic
tional, one and ill, by thie liime the
story has ended .ou will feel that
you've come face to face \ iill each
one of them. The seltings are real
and all in Florida, and while the sit
uations Rick's ciaraclers fi nd


Law Matters a new book
based on legal principals.
themselves in could well be real
also, they are not based on facts.
Adding to the stories are Rick's
"Author's Note", which appear,
more or less, at the conclusion of
each story. THE LAW: Definitions
and Explanations are also included
as are numerous Notable Quotes
from any number of attorneys,
judges, associate justices plus oth-
ers in the "world of law" in one
waN or another. Quotes are accu-
rate to the letter and sources are
lisledI for those who want to do
theih own research. .
Law Matters is illustrated
throughout by Artist Paul Schultz


- A book review


whose studio is in Winter Haven.
The art does not necessarily, specif-
ically tie in with the stories; howev-
er, Paul's artwork is such a valuable
addition to the book that the appre-
ciation of his art stands on its own.
The many subjects of his work
reflect Florida's nature as well as
some historical landmarks.
While this book was not written
and probably was not intended to
be used as a text book, neverthe-
less it could well serve to be used in
Florida high school classrooms to
teach the beginning of an under-
standing of law and how it can
apply to our lives.
In his Foreword, the author
states: The law is of noble purpose.
It is the great equalizer, the glue
that holds together our republic,
and its fair administration the differ-
ence between civility'and anarchy.
Devotion to the ideals of law
makes us high-minded and raises
our commitment to equality It
.gives us a sense of place among
God's order in '.lhe natural world,
making us better stewards of the
land and heltjinig us see more
clearly our r'spoiinsibilities. It helps
us be a belier neighliior.

Mold spots on drying gourds
are part ,of the naturalIl
process. As long as the outer Gourds can be dried by putting them on wood pallets for air circulation. The first step in the
shell remains hard, mold will drying process is the outer layer which takes only a week or so. The remaining drying
not damage the gourd. process could take as long as three months.


Gourds are easy to grow and decorate


Smaller gourds make inter-
esting-vases for dried flower
arranging. Carved grape
leaves at the top and ebony
wood stain will make the
gourd look like pottery.


Birdhouse gourds are popu-
lar as lawn decorations as
well as for homes for the
birds. They can be decorated
using a number of methods
including painting, staining,
carving and woodburning
such as this sunflower mod-
eled by one from the garden.


By D. Hamilton
INI
Decorative gourds, often seen at
local craft fairs, are easy to grow in
Florida. These plants, native to
America, can be used to make col-
orful holiday decorations, or can be
turned into bird houses.
Gourds have a
rich past
According to the American
Gourd Society Web site, the first
planting and use of gourds dates
back thousands of years. Native
Americans, Africans, and ancient
Egyptians cultivated gourds for
their usefulness as utensils, storage
containers, musical instruments,
and as decorative items.
There are even legends and sto-
ries of references to gourds in
songs from the days of slavery.
Slaves planning to make their way
through to the Underground Rail-
road to the north sang songs like,
"Follow the drinking gourd." The
"drinking gourd" referred to the Big-
Dipper constellation which they
would follow from the south,
northwest from Mississippi to
Alabama and eventually north to
freedom.
In some cultures, gourds are still
used as they were in ancient Asia
for medicinal purposes with high
nutritional values in 'the seeds,
roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.
What is a Gourd?.
Gourds are part of Cucurbita-
ceous Family which includes
pumpkins, squash, zucchini, mel-
ons and cucumbers. It is the "fruit"
produced from a vine having white
blossoms, both male and female.
The hard-shell variety has pock-
ets of seeds which are attached to
the inside of the gourd. As it dries
out, the outer shell gets its' wood-
like exterior and the seed pockets
inside dry out and can. be shaken
loose.
There are many varieties of
gourds numbering in the dozens.
The most popular gourd shapes for
arts and crafts, are bottle gourds,
birdhouse gourds, kettle-shaped,
pear, apple (which really looks like,
an apple), and even a bushel gourd


which can grow to 100 pounds.
Grow your own
Gourds are not difficult to grow,
but you will need a large area away
from any smaller more delicate
plants as they tend to overpower
anything in their path.
Planting can begin as early as
late January in South Florida with
the first signs of life in just a couple
of weeks.
Space seeds at least four feet
apart; planting one Seed about a
half to three-quarters inch deep in a
well-drained mound of soil. The
plants will start to erupt bearing
large, broad leaves. The vines will
travel and tendrils will appear. If
you have limited space, vines can
be cut back at 10 feet before they
begin to flower. 'Keep the main root
of the plant watered daily, especial-
ly during the hotter, drier months.
(Here's a tip: Put a plant stake in the
ground next to the rooted plant so
that you can find it since the areas
around flourishing gourds vines
can get quite weedy). Fertilizers
such as organic matter and stan-
dard 6-6-6 seem to workwell giving
the plants a 'boost' just before they
bloom. Fertilizers with high nitro-
gen content such as 10-10-10, will
burn the broad'leaves.
After the vines have blossomed,
the gourds will take shape.
It takes about two to three
months for the smaller gourd vari-
eties to complete their growth.
Some of the larger varieties may
take up to six months doubling
every week before reaching their
full size.
Harvesting and
drying gourds
Gourds can be harvested from
the vine when the stems turn
brown or just left to dry right on the
vines. It is not uncommon to see
gourds drying in a field after the
vines have died off.
Gourds that have been cut from
the vines at least four inches from
the fruit, can also be dried on a
wooden pallet until the seeds have
dried oit inside.
During the drying process, mold
may grow on the gourds. A simple
solution of one cup of regular


bleach to five gallons of water
would help to retard the mold from
growing and also speed the drying
process a bit. Rotate the gourds and
wipe them down with' the bleach
solution once a week as they dry.
Be careful to.keep drying gourds
from touching others. This will
cause them to get 'rot spots' and
could cause them to be unusable.
Gourd crafts
For craft purposes, scraping the
outer greenish-colored layer off
with a butter knife (not serrated
edge), will give the dried gourds a
creamy, light finish without all the
mold spots. Take care not to cut
into the gourd while scraping. It
could cause the gourd to rot before
it dries.
Some gourds will take several
weeks, even months to dry before
the\ can be used.
Aftet the gourds have dried,
removing the seeds can be tricky,
especially if you will be making a
new home for birds.
There are specific tools
designed to clean out the inside
materials including the seeds, how-
ever, a simple small, narrow pry
bar withh a handle works Well to
loosen seeds and leftover dried
pulp so that it can be emptied into a
container. When cleaning out the-
inside of the gourd, be sure to work,
in an area that is well ventilated or
use a dust mask to keep from inhal-
ing the mold dust.
Depending on what you plan to
do with your dried gourds will,
-determine how large the hole
should be. If you plan to cut the
hole to accommodate birds, the
hole size ranges from just one and
one-eighth inches in diameter up to
two full inches. Some birds, such as
robins will only nest in a cavity
when they can see all around them.
For this reason, larger arch-shaped
openings cut into three sides of the
gourd are preferred.
Gourd birdhouses are also a
favorite of the Purple Martin. The
holes for this type of birdhouse
require a special crescent shape to
protect the inhabitants from other
birds.
There are many high speed cut-
ting tools available to cut into the


thick, hardened shell of a gourd.
Drilling a center hole as a starter
and cutting the rest of the hole out
with a small powered carving tool
gives great results. If you will be
.hanging your gourd as a birdfeeder
or house, be sure to drill a hole
straight through about an inch or
so from the top. Lightly sand the
*surface and smooth the opening
with fine-grit sandpaper.
Decorate your gourds
Decorating gourds can pose a
problem how to decorate them?
They can be decorated with nearly
every medium. Gourds can be col-
ored with stains; painted with-
acrylics, enamels, pen and ink.
They can also be carved with intri-
cate patterns, and wood-burned.
Even if \ ou're not an artist pat-
terns and drawings can be trans-
ferred onto the gourd by using
transfer sheets. Coating the back of
the drawing or picture with a char-
coal pencil then, using a pen to go
over the outline of the drawing will
also transfer the image onto the
gourd.
The medium of choice will be
up to the individual artist. Be sure if
your gourd creation will be outside,
to coat it with a clear polyurethane
finish, repeated every year or so to
help protect it from the elements.
Decorated gourds will last for many
years with just minimal care.'

TALLAHASSEE Governor
Jeb Bush and Florida Department

The reading and mathematics tests

reading and mathematics tests for
grades 3, 7, 9, and 10 are available
in two formats one which can be

the test and get results online. The
Department of Education began

The 2005 and 2006 released

of the FCAT."
The release includes test answer
keys, a fact sheet explaining uses
for the test and frequently asked
questions. Released tests are identi-
cal to the tests taken by students
except for questions that will be
used on future tests. Parents and
teachers can use the released tests
as additional resources to increase
students' comfort level and famil-
iarity .vith the FCAT.
The online version of the test
allows users to toggle between the
test book and a page that displays.
the correct answer to each ques-
tion. In addition, the answer page
provides the Sunshine State Stan-
dard tested by the question and the
percent of students who chose
each answer.
"We are fulfilling our commit-
ment to increase the transparency
and accountability ol our testing
program," said Commissioner
Winn. "This new\ interactive ver-
sion will give the public a way to
review the test questions and
answers in an engaging and
informative manner."


Test questions are written
according to specific guidelines
developed by Florida educators.
Questions are reviewed and revised
by teachers,, curriculum experts
and school and district administra-
tors to ensure they are appropriate
for the grade level tested. Each year,
more than 500 classroom teachers,
special education teachers, English
language. learning instructors,
administrators, curriculum special-
ists, policy leaders, college and uni-
versity experts, school board mem-
bers and parents take part in the
FCAT question review process.
"While these tests can serve as
excellent resources to teachers,
parents and students, it is impor-
tant to remember that these tests
should never be used to drill stu-
dents in preparation for next year's
FCAT because these specific ques-
tions will not be used again," added
Commissioner Winn.
Funding permitting, the Depart-
ment of Education will again
release more reading and mathe-
matics tests next fall, along with the
grade 8 science test.

Poinsettia A Christm

By Gene McAvoy
Hendry County
Horticulture Agent g


Poinsettias are most widely
known as a colorful indoor orna-
mental potted plant for the Christ-
mas trade. Here in South Florida,
they can also be used as outdoor
landscape plants and grow into
quite large shrubs. Poinsettias are
native to Mexico and Central
America, where they can grow to
be 12 -15 feet tall.
The poinsettia, Euphorbia pul-
cherrima Willd., is a member of
the Euphorbiaceae 6r spurge.
family. The name poinsettia is
in honor of Joel R. Poinsett of
Greenville, South Carolina, who
during his tenure as the United
States Ambassador to Mexico,
introduced this plant from Mexico
in 1825. Poinsettias are some-
times referred to as Christmas
star, which is from its rosette like
arrangement of brightly colored
bracts that form at the ends of the
stems in the winter. months
around Christmas time. 'In Span-
ish, the poinsettia is known. as
floorr de pascuas.",
The showy part of the poinset-
tia, which is commonly referred
to as the flower, actually consists
of modified leaves which are cor-
rectly called bracts. The bracts are
typically red but can vary depend-
m ing on the cultivar. Cultivars sport-
ing pink, cream, white, pale green
and even miNed colors have been,
developed b\ plant breeders. The
actual llowvers are insignificant lit-'
tle nubs that are arranged above
the colorful bracts in umbel-like
groups consisting of a single
female flower surrounded by a
number of male flowers which
are reduced to stamens only.
Poinsettias are traditionally
grown as pot plants for the Christ-
mas holiday season. Poinsettias
are often, used as- landscape
plants in south and central Flori-
da. Poinsettias are woody peren-
nials and when grown outdoors
usually begin blooming (bracts
showing color) as early, as
Thanksgiving. The colorful bracts
are retained until Match or even
later if the plants are not exposed
to freezing temperatures.
The purchase of a poinsettia is
a once-a-year event for most peo-
ple. Most people don't know-
what to look for in a quality poin-
settia. Here are a few basic tips on
what to look for in a poinsettia.
These pointers can male a differ-
ence between a plant"that will

James Barrett, horticulturist with the University of Florida's
Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, checks new vari-
eties of poinsettias in Gainesville. In 2000, more than 20 new
varieties were evaluated by researchers and consumers for
commercial release. Some have tasty names such as Santa
Claus Candy, Christmas Cookie and Plum Pudding.

whose appeal quickly\ fades. II
possible, select a plant that has
green foliage nearly to the soil
line. Older plants that have suf- .
fered unfavorable conditions will
have usually experienced exces-
sihe teal drop Foliage drop can be
caused by fluctuating tempera-
tuies, gas fumes, soil problems,
and plant pests. Next look in the
center of the bracts and you will
see the true flowers called
cyathia This tiny cluster f flow-
ers is one of the best indicators of
a poinsettia's freshness. Select
only plants with small tight green
button like floral parts These little
flowers will eventually develop
into open Ilowers If the poinselltia
is already producing pollen, the
plant is past its peak. This indi-
cates that a portion of the plants
useful display\ life has already\
passed and the bra ts will begin
fade early than a similar plant
which has not yet begun produc-
ing pollen. Poinsettia prices are
normally based on the number of
bracts and the size of the plant
and bracts.
Now that vNyou ha%\- selected or
received a beautiful poinsettia or


more, how do you care for it?
Poinsettias can be kept looking
attractive far into January or even
February if properly cared for.
Since most potted poinsettias are
the product of the greenhouse,
the\ should be provided as rnuch
natural light as possible. At least
six hours of bright, but not direct
light is required for best results
Poor light or a rapid change in
light regime can cause leaf diop
A\oid placing the plant near win-
dows, doors, fans, and heating
vents since poinsettias cannot tol-
eiate drafts, which nia\ trigger
leaf drop. Poinsettias prefer moist
soil, so water reg-ularly. Over
watering or allow i'ng the soil to
dry out completely can cause
lea es to drop. Poinsenias % ill do
best in the more humid, areas of
the home, such as the kitchen,
otherwise they can be placed
above but not in a tray of % satei to
increase humidity It is also wise
to place plants away from busy
areas where they will be brushed
against and bruised Foitunatelh,
the newer varieties of poinsettia
are fairly hardy and will tolerate a
bit of abuse .,..

begin to fade, the plants should
be kept cool and dry for a few
weeks. After this resting period,
prune the plant back to about six
to. eight inches high. Remove any
remaining colored bracts and
leave three to four green leaves
per shoot and restart growth by
watering and fertilizing with a bal-
anced complete fertilizer every
few weeks.. By May-June, the
plant should display a lot of new
growth. At this time, the poinset-
tia should be transplanted to a 2-4
inch larger in diameter pot and all
.the shoot tips pruned off. Two to
three leaves should be left on
each shoot. Fertilize every three to
four weeks and keep the plant
pinched back regularly until Sep-
tember. In late September, the
plant must be given a special dark
treatment to promote flowering.
PoinsetLias are among a group
of plants known as short-day
plants. Short-day plants require a,
long dark period to initiate the for-
mation of flower buds. Poinsettias
need 9 to 10 hours of lilht \\ithil 14
to 15 hours of darkness to pro-
mote flowering. In nature flower
buds are set around Octobei as
the night become increasingly
longer. In the house, the short day
a long night regime must be pro-
duced artificially. This can be
done by putting the plants in the
closet or covering htem with a
completely opaque cloth, a box
or a black garbage bag. Poinset-
tias are very linicky about pho-
toperiod. Any interruption of the
dark period may result in a failure
to blossom. By December, the
Slant should have initiated flower-
in\, and the development of col-
ored biacts. Many pink and bicol-
or cultihars ma% revert to red or
\vhite when grown inside. Once
this occurs, the dark treatments
can be stopped and the plants
treated :ike normal house plants
again. If handled properly, your
poinsellita should produce beauti-
lul blooms for Christmnas.
I wish you all a Merry Christ-
mas' and the best for the New
Year.

Tips to help avoid holiday season over-spending


WEST PALM BEACH If you
are like most consumers, you
will spend close to $800 .this year'
on family, friends, coworkers and
other important people in your
life. Researchers cite decreasing
gas prices, an optimistic employ-
merit outlook, and healthy gains
in the stock market as indicators,
that we are ready to spend
almost seven percent more than
we did last year. In fact, the
National Retail Federation 2006
Holiday Consumer Intentions
and Actions Survey, conducted
by BIG research for NRF, found
that the average consumer plans
to spend $791.10 this holiday
season, up 7.2 percent from the
previous year.
"Getting caught up in the spirit
of the holidays can quickly lead to
overspending, if you aren't care-
ful," said Jessica Cecere, presi-
dent of Consumer, Credit Counsel-
ing Service of Palm Beach County
and the Treasure Coast (CCCS).
"For many consumers, the joy of
the season is replaced by the
struggle to make even minimum
payments on credit cards used to
purchase gifts."
A little advanced planning can
help shoppers pick out the perfect
gift for the special people on their
list and still stay within budget.
CCCS offers tips to help con-
sumers:
Before you
start shopping
Develop a spending budget.
Decide how much you can com-
fortably spend on gifts, decora-


tions, and entertainment without
relying on credit cards to finance
purchases. Studies show that
people who use credit cards to
buy gifts spend an average of 30
percent more than people who
use cash. When you add in all
the finance charges over months,
or even years, your gift could cost
you twice what you paid for it, or
more. Be sure to factor in all the
extra costs of gift wrap, cards
and other holiday, accessories
when developing your budget.
And if you will be traveling this
holiday season, don't forget to
include the cost of travel, gaso-
line, airfare, hotel stays, meals
and entertainment.
Make your list;
check it twice
Make a list of all the people
you want to buy gifts for, includ-
ing small gifts for babysitters,
teachers, your mailman, etc. After
completing your list, add the
amount you would like to spend
on each person, making sure that
your total does not exceed the-
spending limit you established. If
it does, review and revise the list
until you are within your budget
spending. If you track your pur-
chases as you make them, you
might find you save money on
some gifts and have more to allo-
cate to others on your list


Remember the
best gifts are free
Jot down gift ideas for the peo-
ple on your list, keeping in mind


that some of the most appreciat-
ed gifts are not those that cost the
most money, but are the most
meaningful. Handmade gifts,
such as calendars, photo albums,
and framed children's artwork
can provide a lifetime of smiles.
Homemade baked goods are
always a hit. For the note writer in
the family, stationery and stamps
make a great gift. A gardener will
always appreciate a basket of gar-
dening tools and seeds. And never
underestimate the power of a
sentimental letter, song, or poem
for that special person on your
list. These heartfelt 'gifts are often
the perfect choice.
Maybe the people on your gift'
list would prefer a service to a tan-
gible item. Who wouldn't like a
commitment for getting the.car
washed, a free night of babysit-
ting, the garage or gutters
cleaned, the lawn mowed, the
dog walked or even the dinner
cooked? Write,your gift of service
out on a nice card or print it up on
your computer. Sign, seal, wrap
and deliver.
Shop early and take


advantage of sales
Start shopping early and take
advantage of sales on seasonal
items and stock up for the holi-
days, birthdays, and more. Check
out retail sales, special discounts
and' coupons in'circulars or
newspapers and deals online. If,
you know the model number of a
specific piece of electronic equip-
ment, you can watch the week-
end sale ads for deals or use


online comparison shopping
sites to see where you might find
the best deal. Sites such as
www.pricegrabber.com,
www.bizrate.com, and
www.mysimon.com compare
the prices of multiple retailers on
the same item. You can then
order items online or purchase
them locally. As online retailers
may run free shipping promo-
tions, you might just save time
and money ordering online. And
don't forget about non-traditional
retailers-thrift :stores, discount
stores, consignment shops, and
specialty stores might have just
what you're looking for.
Leave your credit cards at
home, and if you do use them,
use them wisely.
It is very tempting to spend
more than you've planned, espe-
cially if you're rushed for time
and feeling the stress of holiday
shopping. Leaving your credit
cards at home will help ensure
that you will stick to your budg-
et, even if it means spending a lit-
tle more time looking for the
right gift.
There are occasions when
paying by credit is necessary ,
such as online purchases, or air-
line tickets. There are special pro-
tections for credit card purchas-
es, such as chargeback rights,
and the ability to dispute items
not deli ered as promised, so
think strategically when to use
vour cards. Use cards with the
lowest interest rate and. ideally,
only spend what .ou can afford
to pay oft \\hen the bills come in.


Cranberry substitute is easy to grow


By Mickie Anderson
University of Florida
GAINESVILLE, Fla. It's relat-
ed to okra, is officially a hibiscus
and tastes a lot like cranberry.
University of Florida extension
officials say this Southern-style
cranberry substitute is soreasy to
grow; just about anyone can do
it. And if that's not enough, it's an
attractive ornamental plant that
boasts green leaves, delicate off-'
%white flowers and red stems and
would boost any garden-even if
you don't use it to make a spicy
Thanksgiving beverage, cranber-
ry-style sauce, wine or jelly.
The Hibiscus saodariffa, also
known as Roselle, Florida cran-
berry or Jamaican sorrel, is used

been in many talks over the last
few months concerning this cen-
ter and I am thrilled at the
progress that's been made."
The need for Hendry Regional
Medical Center of Clewiston to
provide health care services in
western Hendry County has been
on the agenda for the past six
years, according to the mayor.
"As a board member for five
years, and I know I speak also for
board member Henry Spang of
LaBelle, we have been asking our-
selves, 'What have we been getting
for our hospital tax dollars which
have been in effect for many
years?" Mayor Bengston said.
According to proponents of
the proposal, the idea of paying
hospital tax dollars and receiving
little in return has been a constant
concern not only for board mem-
bers but for many citizens of the
LaBelle community.
Now, however, it looks as

sion agent from Panama who
grew up drinking the bright bur-
gundy beverage.
About nine years ago, Ferrer
was given some seeds for the
plant and encouraged Jim
Hunter, an extension service-
trained Master Gardener and Cas-
selberry nursery owner, to try
growing it.
Since then, it's become tradi-
tion for Hunter to bring the spicy
drink to the county extension
office's annual holiday parties.
The plant produces pale yel-
low flowers, which eventually
fall. When they do, a bright,
fleshy red calyx encloses the seed
pod, which looks something like
okra. Those calvxes are the secret
to the flavor, said Ferrer. who's
based in Seminole County.
The plant requires almost no
attention, Ferrer says. It's excep-

Comments made after the
film questioned the manner of
how Florida Power and Light

county officials dealt with -their
proposal. Another speaker ques-
tioned who would be the main
users of the electricity such as
residents, small businesses or
large industries.
Efficiency of transmission
lines was a concern, as well as
mercury emissions and its
impact on the lake. Also brought


residents, as well as others includ-
ing neighboring Glades County,
will see physical results in the not
too distant future as the agencies
work together in the early plan-
ning of the center.
Numbers of LaBelle citizens
have advocated the project,
which will not only serve those in
western Hendry County but also
people in eastern Hendry County,
Glades County,. and any others
who happen to need medical
services that the center is plan-
ning to provide.
The idea that the center will be
open to all is a central theme in
the planning effort.
"After all, it's not going to be an
exclusive club," said Mayor
Bengston. "The people of LaBelle
are very much in need of this facil-
ity but so are others in the general
area."
Hendry Regional representa-
tives say the project has gotten off
on the right foot.
"We have been working with
Lee Memorial Hospital to the
extent that we now have devel-
oped a perform and have found
that an Urgent Care Center is


tionally hardy and needs little
more than full sun and 100 con-
secutive days of warm weather.
Up north, where that might be
iffy, Ferrer suggests the plant
could be started in a greenhouse
and later moved outside.
The only real work, Hunter
says, comes in harvesting the
plant and cooking with it.
He makes about 21/2 gallons of
the drink at a time, which'
requires a grocery bag full of the
calvxes. And although each stem
produces plenty of calyxes, har-
vesting them can be somewhat
tedious, Hunter said.
"It's a little bit of work to make
the drink and most bf us are.not-
that persistent," he said. "But
once you try it, you get hooked
on he drink."
Hunter said his wife has used
the calyvxe~s a substitute in a


ing companies out to make
money off of advertising, and
some have similar names; and
some conduct business from for-
eign countries.
Local businesses and church-
es should be careful. If it is your
desire to help support local
schools, then contact the school
district first to see how they sug-
gest you offer support.'

up was the lack of alternative
energy like solar, wind and geot-
hermal power.
,, The documentary did not
include viewpoints of electric
power plant industries, but dur-
ing the discussion it was pointed
out that wind and geothermal
power are not viable sources of
energy in Florida.
However, it is conceivable
that coal, natural gas and solar
power could all be used at vari-
ous times depending upon their
availability, seasonal changes, or
price of fossil fuel.

Wilson, Marketing/Foundation
Director for Hendry Regional
Medical Center. "The Hospital
Board of Authority has recom-
mended that this project move
forward and the official approval
took place at the board's meeting
on November 2. Consequently,
we are now in the process of get-

facility so that we can move to the
next step."
Ms. Wilson said her organiza-
tion is working toward making
the project a reality.
"As of this date, this is a work
in progress, while definitive plans
are being developed," Ms. Wilson
said. "We are seeking a suitable
site, we are getting costs frdm an
architect and operational costs
are being reviewed."
Craig R. Cudworth, Chief Exec-

Extension officials say the
plant has been grown in Florida
since the 1800s, and has been
planted near the historic Marjorie

Here is Hunter's holiday

In a glass or porcelain pot, boil

1 teaspoon allspice -
1 large piece of ginger,

taste.


Enjoy the true
gifts of the season
While giving and receiving gifts
can be nice, the true gift of the holi-

lies and friends spend together.
Get friends and family together to
volunteer 'at a food bank, an
organization that provides toys for
- underprivileged children or other
organizations that are especially
busy during the holiday season.
You can enjoy each other, spread
some holiday cheer and save
money, while building and mem-
ories that will be cherished long
after the holidays are a distant
memory. Money does not equal
love at the holidays.

Tigers whip Lions, head to state championship


By Jeff Barwick
CLEWISTON Everyone
expected a close game and every-
one expected the defenses to be
tough on. both sides of the ball.
But none of the 5,000 plus that
showed up at Cane Field on Fri-
day night, were probably aware
of what was in store for them.
They got to watch one of the best
defensive games in Clewiston
High School Tiger history as
Clewiston controlled the game
clock on offense and the Tiger
defense dominated the Chami-
nade Lions in a 7-3 victory. The
Tigers now get to take their 13-0
record to Dolphin Stadium in
Miami Lakes on Saturday night for
the Class 2A State Championship
game against Jacksonville Bolles,
also 13-0.
The Chaminade contest fig-
ured to be sparked with offensive
and defensive explosions. Both
squads were averaging over 30
points per game during the sea-
son and they both had solid
defenses. But on this night, the
scoring just didn't happen as
Chaminade offense had prob-
lems moving the ball and the
Tiger offense missed several scor-
ing opportunities after good
drives. The Tiger offense still had
the will power to score, albeit just
once, and that was enough. The
real story goes way be ond the
final score posted on the score-
board as the Tigers and their fans
went wild at the closing horn.
This was a game won by the
defense, the Tigers strong suit all
season.
On this night, it \\as senior
linebacker Carl Whitehead's
chance to shine. A solid per-
former all year, hiiitehead was all
over the field with nine tackles,
three assists and two running
sacks. But also like all season, it
was the cohesive effort of the
entire group that made the differ-
ence. This is 15 or so Tigers who
play better as a team than any
group in recent memory. No real
stars because none of them really
want to be a star. They simply,
want to play and win as a team
They are not only extremely well
coached but they absorb and con-
sistently apply that coaching.
Defensive ends Delvin Hughes
(seven solos) and Johnny Jones
(four tackles) also had great.
nights, with Jones blocking a key
fourth down pass attempt. Line-
backer Collin Ricketts had four
tackles and three assists. Corner- -
back Omar Smith also played \well
with five tackles and tackle \\ illie
Armstrong had three, including a
key quarterback sack. Senior line-
backer David Pope added 3 tack-
les, two assists and a running
sack. Cornerback Jasper Huntei
contributed 3 tackles, an assist, a
running sack and an 18-yard intei-
ception return. But the statistics
are only just that. This was a team
effort with defenders taking on
Division I prospect blockers head-
on all night and allowing team-
mates to make the plays.
The Tiger offense had 3 sus-
tained drives and ate up huge
chunks of clock time to keep the
ball away from the Lions' offense.

Tiger John Melton pulls in a pass for an 11 yard gain.


Tailback Collin Ricketts tip-toes down the sidelines for a 15
yard run.


The i:esi example would be their
possession to open the second
half when Ihey drove the ball 50i
\ards on 11 pla\s and used o\er
sLx: minutes ol clock time. Simply,
the offense's control ol the game
clock allo wed the aunted Tiger
defense to stay fresh and, when
called upon, the\, excelled. They,
were dominant all night and
allowed the talented Chaminade
squad only 1 79 yards total offense
on 53 pla\s
The Tigers were (di king for a
score early in the second period
on series that began at theit 2-8.
From the Lion 18, Tiger quarter-
-back Jared Combass hit wideout
Sin Putianam in the fhats and Put-
nam turned it up field, e\eaving his
%w ay towards the end zone At the
5-yard line, lie was hit and fum-
bled. Tiger John Melton had his
hands on the ball but never had
possession and Chaminade recov-
ered at their I -fool line The Tiger
defense gave up one first down to
the Lions and then forced a punt
that went out. of bounds at ihe
Chaminade 42 On six plans. the


Tigers got to the Lion 16 tut ran
out of do%%,ns Tiger kicker Will
Davis care on to try a 33-y1atd
field goal. The attempt w\as partial-
1l blocked b\ Chaniinade.
Clewiston got their onlx score
of the night late in the half. Charn-
inade had been stopped ron their
38-yard line and went into punt
forniation. A fake punt pla3 \was
called and the ball was direct
snapped to the blocking back but
it glanced offt his hands and ovei
his head The punter picked up
the ball and was imrnediatele
swarmed by Tigers, fumbling the
ball Another Lion player grabbed
the loose ball and retle-ated look-
ing for an opening. He \\as tack-
led back at the Lions 13 \ ard line
The second half opened with
the Tigers rriaking the long sus-
tained drive.
The series was aided by a
bizarre play. The Tigers, facing a
fourth and long from midfield.
sent Jared Combass into punt for-
mation. Chaminade's Justin
Wobodard fielded the punt and
tzent do rwn the visitor's sideline

for an apparent 95-yard touch-
down. But, the Lions' pass rush
had roughed Combass during the
punt giving the Tigers an auto-
matic first down. If the roughing
the kicker penalty had not
occurred, an illegal Chaminade
block at the outset of the run
would have still nullified the
touchdown. The Tigers were also
flagged on the play for shoving a
Chaminade player in the back.
The net result of all this was a five
yard gain for the Tigers and an
automatic first down to keep the
drive alive.
The drive finally sputtered out
at the Lions' 19 and another field
goal attempt from 37 yards was
\vide to the left.
The Lions got the ball with
3:07 left in the third and drove 46
yards, their only sustained drive of
the night, to the Tiger 10. Kicker
Lugue Barrientos then nailed a
27-yard field goal with 9:12 left in
the game. After a two first down
drive that used up about four min-
utes from the clock, Clewiston
punted the ball away but the
defense held Charninade on three
downs and had the ball punted
right back to them. The offense
then put together a 7 plan drive
that ran the clock down to 1:12
before they punted. As the game
clock ticked do% wn to the final sec-
onds, a desperate pass attempt
was picked oil by Tiger corner-
back Jasper Hunter and returned
18 yards.
Wilh only II seconds remain-
ing and Charninade having no
rime outs remaining, the Tigers
went crazy in celebration. The on-
field antics cost the Tigers with
twmo unsportsmanlike conduct
penalties. One as loi the ov'eiall
celebration and another for a
Tiger having temno:,ed his helmet
while on the field The Tigers also
had purposefully taken a dela\ of
garne perinalt prio to their last
punt in exercising their using up
the clock strategy. Discounting
those infractions, which were
meaningless to the ouicorne of
the game, the Tigers were onl\
aged 5 times for 30 yards
"The defense has been the
stiongpoint all season," TiRer
coach Lair Antornacci said
"These kids played their hliearts
out tonight The\ ne\ei let up and
to hold a great team like Charrii-
nade to three points is fantastic."
Tiger sophomore tailback Dai-
iis HuL'hes had 101 yards on 21
tries -in the night and said, "Man,
this means e\erithing to us. In
e t\e~ building in town, tihey'e
got our names and numbers on
them. In Clewiston, football is in
ou heart."
The Tigers will need another
top-level performance .in the
championship game against
undefeated Jacksonville Bolles.
The Bulldogs have a solid passing
attack and have really not been in
a close conlesi all season. Game


time will be 7 p.m. and a great
turnout of fans is needed to cheer
on the Tigers who return to the
State Championship game for the
first time since 2001. Earlier jour-
neys to the.final level were in 1997
and in 1982, when the Tigers
played Jefferson County to a 13-
13 tie and were co-champions.

Local teams head to Dolphin Stadium


By Naji Tobias
The Sun
WESTERN PALM BEACH
COUNTY It has been a great
ride for the Glades area football
teams, which include Pahokee,
Glades Central and Glades Day. All
of the hard work, from the off-sea-
son lifting sessions to training
camp and hard working practices,
have paid off.
Now for Pahokee and Glades
Day, the teams have one last hur-
dle to climb to being the state
champions. For Glades Central,
the team has to play two more
games to cinch the state title.,
It may be possible to see all of
the Glades teams to come out on
top this weekend at Dolphin Stadi-
um.

The Pahokee Blue Devils con-
tinued their impressive run to the
state championship game, this
year being the fourth consecutive
year it has done so. Pahokee rolled
over Cardinal Mooney on the road,
48-0.
It was done through their smart
offense and defense games, as
well as a great reduction in sloppy
mistakes.
Janoris Jenkins scored three
rushing touchdowns, while
Anthony Sheppard had two touch-
down -passes and ran for another
score.
On defense, Pahokee forced
two fumbles and made three inter-
ceptions off Cardinal Mooney's
Vinny Corona, including a Dwight
Bentley pick off Corona at Paho-
kee's 1-yard line as. Cardinal

Mooney was attempting to tie the
game after being down 7-0 in the
first quarter.
In all, Pahokee allowed only 21
total yards and gained 374 of their
own. That's,a textbook recipe to
get into the state championship
game.
Pahokee will play Ocala-Trinity
Catholic on Dec. 2 in the Class 2B
championship. "
The Glades Day Gators also
made their way into the champi-
onship game by stomping over the
Miami-Dade Christian Crusaders
on the road, 34-12. The Gators are
in the state championship for the
first time in 10 years .
The Galors had 264 rushing
yards, led by Cedrick Taylor. They
will play Tallahassee-North Florida
Christian at 7 p.m. on Dec. 1 at Dol-


phin Stadium.
In Naples, the Glades Central
Raiders .claimed their second
straight Class 3A.regional title by
beating Naples, 24-14. They will
play Bartow in the state semifinal
on Dec. 1.
Bryan Mann had 113 passing
yards, including a title-clinching
fourth quarter touchdown pass to
Travis 'Benjamin with 2:20 left.
Mann added 63 rushing yards and
a touchdown run.
Running to the championship
game is great for the Glades teams.
Here's hoping that the three
schools finish the job this week-
end at Dolphin Stadium, with
Glades Central doing its part to
make to the big game at Dolphin
Stadium the weekend of Dec. 8-9.

'We wouldn't be anywhere but Pahokee'


By MaryAnn Morris
Three sisters, Iris, Mary and
Lucille were born and raised in
Pahokee. They have stories to share.
"We all married and moved
away with our husbands. Now that
they have passed away, we all
came home. The three of us live
here in the same house we grew
up in," said Lucille.
Their parents, well-known in
Pahokee, were Carmen Salvatore
and Ella Woodward Salvatore.
They moved there in 1917. But the
story doesn't start there.
According to Iris and Mary, their
father, Carmen Salvatore came to
" America-with his mother and his
uncle from Ricighiano, Italy in 1900,
when he was five years old. Not
through Ellis Island, but through the
Battery in New York, since they had
papers. They settled in New Jersey
where they worked to earn the
funds for passage for the rest of the
family to come to the United States.
"Everyone in the family worked,
starting when they were twelve or
so," said Mary. "The boys worked
delivering papers and things like
that and I know one of my great-
aunts had job sewing. Daddy had a
real Italian father. Grandpa was the
kind that if you left home with a
dime, you'd better comes home
with twelve cents. Everyone
worked and brought all their.
money home."
"After he came home from
France after World War I, he worked
in a paint store, then he heard there
was really good work -stone work
in Florida. Grandpa told him he
would teach him to cut stone, so
Daddy came down to Florida, to
Coral Gables and worked on the
mansion, Vizcaya," said Iris.,
"He met Mama down there at
the beach one day. They didn't
know each other's names, but later
they told us, 'When I saw him, I
knew that was the man I am going
to marry' and Daddy said' the
same thing. So they were married
in 1917 when Mama was 16 and
Daddy was 22.
"Mama invited Daddy to Sunday
lunch one time, the family wasn't
home so she asked her uncle if she
could bring Daddy to his house and
they would have lunch with him.
But her uncle said, 'No, you invited

"This tree was here when Daddy and Mama came. The roots are up where the water used to
come and they call trees like this mother trees," said Mary. The house built by and lived in
by the Salvatores since 1917 can be seen in the background. Part of it was re-built by the
Red Cross after the 1928 hurricane.

him, you feed him.'
"Well she had a pumpkin, so
she boiled it up and Daddy ate it.
"When they moved here to
Pahokee, Daddy would do any
kind of work. He farmed some,
and for awhile, he would drive up
to Stuart (it was all sand roads) and
bring back ice in a wagon. There
was no ice here and he'd sell it. I
remember him talking about all
the times he'd get stuck in the sand


or the mud and had to unload all
the ice alongside the road to dig the
wagon out, and then load it all up
again to get it here."
"Back then the lake was beauti-
ful. We'd swim and play in it all the
time and it was so clear, you could
see your feet," said Mary.
This house was so close to the
water. When the wind blew this
way, the house is up off the ground,
you see, the water would come
right under the house."
"The wind and the action of the
water brought the sand here to
make up the ridge here. When the
wind'blew the other way, we
would go out and play on the sand-
bars the lake left out there in back
of the house," said Iris.
"We wouldn't live anywhere
else. We wish the dike weren't
here. Mama really fought the dike,
but what could you do? No one lis-
tened. Now they're ruined the lake


with the dike," said Iris.
"' hate that dike," said Mary.
"I'm not afraid of storms. When
the news people kept asking us if
we weren't scared, we told
them, 'we aren't the scared kind
of people!' I think they wanted
us to say different."
Pahokee, in the 1930s had 16
restaurants and 2,735 people to
Belle Glade's 1,043.
"The farmers all lived here with
their families on the farms. Not like
now, where the people who own
the farms might not even live in
Florida," said Mary.
"But we were fine here, even
during the Depression. Mama kept
a garden and she always had chick-
ens, sop we had chickens and eggs
and vegetables. Daddy could
always find work somehow. He'd
see something needing doing and
he'd just do it. We wouldn't be any-
where else."

Do-It-Yourself Ideas


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
Over the years, I have col-
lected a number of nativity
sets. I have them all over my
house and office. Some are
homemade and some are
store bought. Some we have
packed
away
which
make their
yearly
appear-
ance dur-
ing this
season of
Christmas.
One came John
from a trip Hicks
to th e H o ly '
Land and a number came
from friends in the mission
fields in Africa, Brazil, Korea.,
Costa Rica, Mexico, .and
Belize .A number have come
from friends and family. I
even talked my mom into let-
ting me have the nativity set
we had in the house when I
\ as growing up.
They all tell the Christmas
story in a slightly unique way.
And not one, not a single one
has John the Baptist as part of
the story. Year after year, how-
ever, when the church gathers
in these days leading up to
Christmas, \ve begin with the
story of this wild prophel
dressed in a garment of
camel's hair preaching his
message of holiday cheer:
"Prepare the way of the Lord!"
In the wisdom born of


experience, the church has
kept John the Baptist in the
Christmas story. Without him,
we would run the risk of keep-
ing Christ in the cradle and
maintaining a feel-good faith
that makes no demands upon
us. John's proclamation of our
need to "Prepare," is an impor-
tant reminder that the baby of
Christmas grows up to be the
Jesus of the cross and the
Christ of the empty tomb.
So in the midst of the holi-
day shopping and the smell of
cookies baking and the mail-
boxes full of cards and the ver-
sions of Jingle Bells and Here
Comes Santa Claus playing in
the stores, we read again the
words of the prophet who
preached by the banks of the
Jordan: "Get ready! God is
coming!"
We need to take this to
heart, for many' times, once we
get beyond the walls of the
church, the message of John
the Baptist gets run over by the
reindeer. We have a hard
enough time keeping Christ in.
Christmas, let alone John the
Baptist!
In many homes in America,
Christmas doesn't happen in
Bethlehem, but at the North
Pole. In holiday thinking. Jesus
seems to come in second to
Santa Claus.
If you think about it, the
Santa story has some, 'good
hews bad news' stuff going
on. Remember the song
"Santa Claus is coming to
Town?" The song says: "He
sees when you're sleeping. He


knows if you're awake. He
knows if you've been bad or
good, so be good, for good-
ness sake!" Every child knows
that if we aren't good, when all
of the other children get toys
we will find a lump of coal in
our stocking.
Which list are you on this
year? The nice list or the
naughty list? With Santa, if you
are on the wrong list, well,
there's always next year. But
with God it's different. God
wants us to grow. God wants
us to become. If we are on the
naughty list, God encourages
repentance and a changed and
changing heart. Where there is
repentance theie is also grace,
andforgiveness, and God.
That is the message of John
the Baptist. In the wilderness
of the sights and sound of
Santa starting to surround me,
I am grateful for the presence
of John the Baptist crying out,
"Prepare the way of the Lord."
I'm grateful because some-
times I forget that I am a work
in progress. I may be a Christ-
ian. I may even be a good
Christian. Regardless, bless-
ings still come in taking seri-
ously John's reminder to pre-
pare my heart for the Christ
event which is the reason for
the season.
John tells us that God cares
about how we live our lives.
He reminds us that maybe our
lives are not all that they should
be. He gives us an opportunity
to repent, to change, to get
ready for our meeting with
God.


The season to come: Recalling its


original meaning and true purpose


By Rev. Samuel S.
Thomas Ph.D.+
St. Martin's Church, Clewiston
We have arrived at Decem-
ber! The year has passed
quickly for me and probably
for most of you, too. Just think-
ing about December means
one thing to most all of us ...
the great holidays.
It is a time for mid-year
vacations and, most of all, for
Christmas. I've celebrated
Christmas in different places
and at different times in histo-
ry; each with its own special
meaning and each with a spe-
cial awareness that some-
thing had happened and was
worth celebrating. Unfortu-
nately, it is easy to forget
about Christmas and what it
means, where it has come
irom, how it affects our lives.
Some of my first Christ-
mases were shared with my
family during World War 11 and
others during the years of pros-
perity that followed. The Kore-
an War brought more conflict,
but \was followed by a long
period of peace; cut short by
the Viet Nam War. With Sep-
tember 11. 2001, we were
once more shaken out. of a
period of calm into another
conflict. Expressions across
the nation have been strong
and polarizing; people all have
their thoughts on the best
course of action and what real-
ly needs to be done. One of the
commentators has summa-
rized our recent elections by
saying that the war in Iraq was


a deciding issue.
The Christmas story is set
against a similar background.
The Romans controlled the
known world by their Legions,
the peach %\as a shaky one
and the toleration felt by the
people in the far corner of the
Roman Empire where Bethle-
hem is found was likely to be
only temporary. 'The fears and
threats felt, .
the imposi- .
lions in
their lives, .
the worries
about the
present
and future
wer., all
too well
known to SamuelS.
those who Tas.
lived in the Thomas
Judean countryside.
Years before, a psalmist
found his hope in God. He
Wrote that "God is our hope
and strength, a very present
help in trouble. (Psalm 46,
v.1)" \\'e were not to fear,, no
matter what, even if the earth
be moved, if the waters.
swelled, of the mountains s
hook. In spite of it all, he
wrote. "God is in the midst of
her, therefore she shall not be
removed, God shall help her
and that right early (verse 5)"
No matter what, God would
come to be in the midst of
things. His plea was that we
would "be still and know that I
am God ... the Lord of Hosts is
with' us; the God of Jacob is
our refuge."


His forward-looking hope
provided the strength that his
people needed; no. matter
what. God %\ill someday vindi-
cate and bring peace, good
will toward humanity. His
message was to give us God's
view of things. No matter
N\ hat, G d's reign and His Will
shall triumph.
The Christmas message is
about the beginning of the
end of the old age and the
bringing in of a new one. It is
about our reason to have
hope and our reason to cele-
brate all of the gifts, the gath-
erings, the parties, the din-
ners, the visits, the greetings,
the decorations and the spe-
cial atmosphere are about
one thing we have the rea-
son to hope because God is
in the midst of us: God shall
help us and that right early.
The baby in the manger is
the symbol of that promise that
the psalmist awaited to see ful-
filled. The way we can make
Christmas "work" for us is to
see the promise fulfilled too.
Our hope is in seeing
through that Christmas child,
the Lord, in the midst of us;
reaching out to help. rsa,:hirin
out to usher in a new year and
a new day. The reason for a
special place accorded to the
Book of Psalms and God's
hand at work. God was in the
midst of them. They looked for
Him and He did not disappoint
them. He does not disappoint
us when we look for Him; in
the season which is upon us or
any time in our lives.
