Charges against Michael James Tyler steminiring irom his April arrest were dropped after he appeared in court recently, according to the Glades County Clerkof Courts.. Tyler was charged with 157 counts of possession of child pornography, six counts of trans- mission of child pornogi aph\, two counts ot distributing obscene material and one count of obscene communication via the computer. According to the State Attor- ney's Office in Glades County, though the charges ere dropped locally, T) ler's case will be trans- f,-i ed to the federal courts. i\ ler's changes v\ere loppedd this past Ma\, locally, but tle case wa., transferred .10 the- ledeial courts.

S"I can .not really discuss any further details on this case because it is still open through the: federal courts," said Mr. Lunkin. Tyler was arrested after the Glades County Sheriff's Office received a tip from the parent of a child who had allegedly viewed some of the sexually explicit material at Tyler's home, The sheriff's office began an investigation, during which detectives sometimes worked 24- hour shifts leading to the arrest of Michael James Tyler.

A forgotten part of the county: North of Kissimiime .Traffic stop ,' ...o -.^^ '*':l"' ;'' .results in INiNena Bolan This small parcel of Glades County is south of the D-4 surge levee, and north of the C- 38 canal which is also known as the Kissimmee River. The photo was taken from the boat ramp at the Scott Driver Recreation Area located in Okeechobee County. Small parcels of Glades County By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat GLADES COUNTY - Before the Kissimmee River was channelized in the 1960s, it was the distinct boundary line between Glades and Okeechobee counties. When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers straightened the meandering river, some parcels of Glades County ended u'p on the other side of the fiver. Before reaching these parcels, a person must travel through Okeechobee County or travel by boat. One such area of Glades County lies north of Buckhead Ridge just past the levee to the C-38 Canal, which is another name for the Kissimmee River. After crossing the levee on the left is the Scott Driver Recreation Area boat ramp. From there one can see a small peninsula lying on the north side of the river is listed in county record books as part of Glades County. Without looking into the Glades County record books, This small peninsula juts into the C-38 canal near the Scott Driver Recreation Area. A small part of Glades County is located there. Before the Kissimmee River was channelized, it was the distinct boundary between Glades and Okeechobee counties. Now, small portions of Glades County are on the north side of the canal, and small por- tions of Okeechobee County are on the south side. some people say that this peninsula has about 10 acres of Glades County on it, and some people say it is closer to 20 acres. It may not matter to the residents who live on this parcel, as long as they have the chance to appreciate the Glades area and her wildlife and waterways. Larry Luckey, Glades Coun- ty property appraiser, said that this is not the only small parcel of Glades County that can .be found on the north side of the river. The same holds true for small parcels of Okeechobee County which ended up on the south side of the Kissimmee after channelization. Staff writer NenaBolan can be reached atnenabolan @yahoo.com.

He estimated its speed to be over that of the posted 35 mph zone. He activated the Stalker Radar unit and got a target speed of 59 mph. Then the offi- cer initiated a traffic stop on the Vehicle. As the officer spoke to the driver, he noticed that the pas- senger appeared to be extreme- ly nervous He also noticed a strong odor of marijuana. Deputy Sheriff Richard Ermeri ai rited a5 a backup unit Ms. Bruno w.s asked ,o step out of the vehicle and Sgt. Baker could still smell the odor of marijuana coming from her person, according to the report.

Ms. Storter took her oath of office as the newest member of the Glades County Board of County Commissioners. The Small County Coalition of Florida presented a plaque to county commissioner, Robert L. Giesler, for his outstanding serv- ice as chairman of the board for two years in a row. Coalition goals help small counties to work effectively with state agen- cies and address legislative issues from a small county per- spective. Larry Hilton, assistant county manager, opened a discussion to consider an ordinance about domestic livestock in residential areas. Recently, code enforce- ment received a complaint about a residence in Buckhead Ridge that had a horse associat- ed with a 4-H project. Historically, Glades County has allowed domestic livestock in residential subdivisions on a temporary basis so young peo- ple in FFA and 4-H can partici- pate in livestock exhibitions. There are currently 93 of these livestock projects, of which an estimated 44 are in residential land use categories.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. It seems the holidays keep coming earlier and earlier every year, thanks in large part to retailers. Stores 'are stocked with mer- chandise 'and decorations to tempt buyers into starting their holiday shopping immediately. And with all the pressures of buying the hottest toy or gadget, it's easy to get swept away. But before you head to the mall or go online, make sure that the gift you purchase will be a safe one. Unfortunately, thou- sands of children are injured every year by toys. In 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Com- mission estimated that 202,300' children were treated in the emergency room for toy-related injuries. And, 94,000 of those injuries were to the face and, head, including the eyes. Eye injuries consisted of lacerations, abrasions and foreign bodies. Air, BB and Spring guns accounted for a large portion of the documented injuries to chil- dren's eyes. Any toys that shoot projectiles are always danger- ous. Even common products such as pens, pencils, crayons .and other art supplies, were- involved in many accidents. "It's so important to make sure that every toy a child plays with is age appropriate," said Jay Tobin, President and CEO of Pre- vent Blindness Florida. "Ninety percent of all eye injuries are preventable but we have to closely monitor kids to ensure their safety." Prevent Blindness Florida has declared December as Safe Toys and Gifts Month and is urging all toy buyers to read the labels and pay attention to the. toys they select 'Once On This Island' Glades Central Thespians are helping the football team and all of the community by postponing the production of their musical, "Once On This Island". The play was shown Wednesday, Dec. 6, howev- er, it will not be shown tonight because of the State Football Game. "We -know that many of the stu- dents, faculty and community will be going to the game on Thursday, Dec. 7. We want to support the team. In this way all of the football .team, cheerleaders, band, and community will be able to come to the production next Thursday, Dec. 14, at 7:31 p.m. We hope everyone will come and support the Theatre and Music Departments in this production. Aspi Lane, the publicity chairper- son for "Once On This Island" spoke to the cast and, crew of the play. "The play has really inspired many young Haitians who are in the play. The play is about Haiti and how a young Haitian peasant girl is in love with a young rich French- man. Many of the young Haitian girls who are in the play are the dancers. They are showing off their rhythm and their style of dancing for the play. As I interviewed three of the girls from the play,.they each had their own reasons of why they wanted to be in the play and how the play affected them. Stephanie Dort com- mented, 'I wanted to be in this play because I heard it was about Haiti. I feel that it's a good thing because it's like giving back to my culture.' Another dancer, Rachelle Sincere said, 'This play inspired me because it displays my culture; it shows Haiti's customs and their way of life. This play has also helped me come out and be more comfortable with myself. I feel good about the play because you really don't see plays like this being produced. Usually plays are about Americans or Hispanics. But now Haitians are being discovered.' Cathy Roc wanted others to know, 'I wanted to be in this play because it was based on my culture and where my ancestors originated. I feel good about being in this' play because I'm finally doing some- thing that I'm good at and because it is based on my culture. It also makes me feel good to be proud of myheritage.' This play has a really big affect on many of our young Haitian stu- dents who are in the play. The Glades Central Thespians are hop- ing that the play will not only inspire just the Haitian culture, but the entire community.' We hope that when you come out and see our play, next Thursday at 7:31 p.m. in the Glades Central Theatre, it will give you a total new way to look at life. The play teaches that we all need to be friends, and this is a good place to start. "Come and support Glades Cen- tral Thespians," urges Aspi Lane. for their children.

District-wide rainfall lowest since record 1940s WEST PALM BEACH Meteo- rologists at the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) have recorded District- wide rainfall of 1.05 inches and 1.01 inches for the months of- October and November respec- tively. The combined total of 2.06 inches of rain marks the driest October/November on record since 1940, when only 1.97 inches fell during the same two month period. Total rainfall through the first 11 months of 2006 currently ranks as the second-lowest on record at only 38.35 inches District-wide, approximately 77 percent of the historical average and very nearly equal to the record low of 38.31 inches set during the first 11 months of 1938. In addition, rain patterns that disproportionately favored south- ern and southwestern portions of the District have left many areas, to the north and northeast in 1-in- 25-year dry spells. This is a con- cern for water managers because low rainfall at the top of the sys- tem typically means less water is available for storage and con- sumption District-wide. As a result, the SFWMD contin- ues to encourage both residential and agricultural water users across South and Central Florida to voluntarily reduce water con- sumption and observe normal water conservation practices. "Coupled with a very dry year, the rain is simply not falling in the right places," said Carol Ann -Wehle, executive director of the SFWMD. "It is imperative that we continue to conserve water across the District. Our lawns, for example, do not need to be watered more than once a week during the dry season, and we should all do our part within the home to practice more aggressive water conservation." At present, the water level of Lake Okeechobee, a bellwether measurement of the District's water supply, is more than three feet or 21 percent below its his- torical average for this time of year. Water levels in Lake Okee- chobee are a major concern for water managers because the Lake serves as the region's primary back-up water supply. Mandatory Phase I water restrictions remain in force for the Lake Okeechobee Service Area as well as the Northern Indian Prairie Basin, which comprise the Ever- glades Agricultural Area, portions of Hendry, Glades, Lee, Okee- chobee, Palm Beach and Martin Counties, as well as agricultural areas to the south of Lake Istok- poga in Highlands County. Classi- fied as moderate water shortage declarations, these orders pre- dominantlx impact agricultural, Southern flow way proposed by coalition By Pete Gawda INI Florida OKEECHOBEE A proposal to store water south of Okee-. chobee could cause a decrease in the unwanted discharges of excess lake water to the estuaries. The discussion of a storage flow way to .the south of the lake was a major topic of discussion at the Thursday, Nov. 30 meeting of the Nine County Coalition for ' Responsible Management of Lake Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Estuaries and Lake Worth Lagoon. The coalition is made up of commissioners representing Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Marlin, Lee, Palm Beach, Hendry, Glades, Highland and Osceola counties. "Take the water south," insist- ed Karl Wickstrom of the Rivers Coalition Defense Fund. "Every- thing else is nonsense." South Florida Water Manage- ment District (SFWMD) has been: experimenting with aquifer stor- age and recovery (ASR) wells, a process whereby excess water is injected into wells below the potable water level and recovered if needed. There are many unknown factors with this system including the cost. Mr. Wickstrom predicted that ASRs would not be effective. He presented what he called the Plan Six Concept to the coalition. This is a thick report advocating a storage flowway south of the lake to alleviate discharges to the St.. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries. The Plan Six area would cover 230 square miles, much of which is already public land. The cost of acquiring the additional land is estimated at $560 million. The River Coalition Defense Fund claims that figure is about one third of the amount estimated for ASRs. Opposing view was expressed by Hendry County Commission- er Kevin McCarthy who noted that when water is stored south of the lake, no one to the north could use it. Paul Gary of the Audubon Society called for more water storage. The Rivers Coalition Defense Fund is the; legal entity of the Rivers Coalition, The overall group is made up of about 43, conservation, business and pro- fession organizations dedicated to restoring and protecting the estuary. "Restoring the natural south- ward flow of the Everglades ecosystem is absolutely critical to restoring the Everglades and saving the St. Lucie estuary from ruin," stated the Plan Six Con- cept Report: The report goes on to describe a flow way as, "a broad shallow marsh area that is used to freely flow water from Lake Okee- chobee to one .or more of the water conservation areas." The proposed flow way would start two miles north of the Bolles Canal, would vary in width between seven and 13 miles and would be 22.5 miles in length. The east levee of'the Miami Canal and the west levee of the North New River Canal would serve as levees for the flow way. The coalition asked Mr. Wick- strom to come to the next meet- ing and make a more detailed presentation on Plan Six . Tommy Strowd of SFWMD admitted that ASR cost is unknown. Mark Perry of the Evergaldes Coalition stated that a southern flow w\ay would take water back into a system that naturally hydrates and rehydrates.

Moore Haven Canal Trail, coalition supported ByPete Gawda - INI A proposed tourist attraction in Glades County came closer to reality on Thursday, Nov. 30. The Nine- County. Coalition for Responsible Management of Lake Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Estuaries and Lake Worth Lagoon meeting in Okeechobee, voted to support the Moore Haven Canal Trail Project after it was introduced by Glades County Commissioner Russell Echols. The coalition is made up of county commissioners repre- senting Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Martin, Lee, Palm Beach, and Hendry, Glades, Highlands and Osceola counties "Where can I go to see the lake?" is a question Commis- sioner Echols said tourists often ask. "There are not many places if you don't have a-boat," was his answer. He went on to describe the, project, which he believes will have a positive impact on the economy and boost tourism. The 7-mile long canal on the- western side of Lake Okee- chobee is believed to have been dug by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers around 1915 to trans, port concrete for the construc- tion of the Moore Haven locks. Commercial and recreational fishermen have since used the canal. The project calls for widening and deepening the canal. Materi- al dredged from the canal would be placed on the east bank of the canal and graded to form a walking or biking trail. ' The project 'would also include wooden archways span- ning the passes from the canal into Moonshine Bay. These arch- es would allow for the passage, of airboats underneath and air- boat passengers would be able to disembark at the passes The plan also calls for an observation tower at some point along the trail and bathrooms. In addition, the plan provides for transportation from the Alvin Ward Sr. boat ramp to the trail. Commissioner Echols com- pared the need for the project to the situation that would arise in coastal counties if the road to the beach were torn up. He and City of Moore Haven Mayor Bret Whidden have been working to build support for the project. INI/Barbara Oehlbeck Flora and Ella's restaurant will now be operated and man- Founders, Flora and Ella, sitting in rockers on the porch. aged by the Bonita Bay group. Bonita Bay to operate Flora & Ella's restaurant By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to Glades County-Democrat LABELLE Whether approaching from the % est or from the east, along S.R. 80, Flora & Ella's has been described as the Sunshine Smile that lures the passing parade, in this part of Florida, to turn in and enjoy true southern hospitality, plus home-cooking that's the next best- thing to being home.. The building itself is sunshine yellow, and old oak trees wrap graceful arms around the porch that's awash with comfortable old- time rocking chairs. These are just a few of-the rea- sons that the Bonita Bay Group is expanding their Hendry County Commitment by negotiating the purchase of this unique LaBelle landmark which %\ill continue to be operated by the Trask Family. Mitch Hutchcraft, regional vice president of The Bonita Bay Group for Hendry County, explains, "Flora and' Ella's restaurant is a one-of-a- kind treasure that captures the charm and historic character of the LaBelle community. We are dedi- cated to making sure this tremen- dous asset ol the area is retained." Sisters, Flora and Ella Burchardc opened the restaurant in 1933 on the site of their father's trading post on Bridge Street near the bridge. Through the years, Flora and Ella's achieved national acclaim for their truly southern, down-home cuisine. Some 60 years later, in the early 1990s, the sisters sold the restaurant but their signature recipes contin- ued uninterrupted and in fact, these same recipes continue to delight their customer-guests to this day. In 1993, Flora and Ella's moved into their new old Florida style building, the present location. The "round table" graces the east end of the sprawling dining room almost always drawing the same group of locals most mornings. One server when a stranger noticed no orders were taken from the round table group said, "Oh, we see 'em coming and we know what they want 'ever morning, so we just bring it to 'em straight from the kitchen, and keep their cups filledwith good, hot coffee." . "The Bonita Bay Group is an outstanding partner for the City of LaBelle, Hendry County, and Flora and Ella's,"said Alan TYask. "They are committed to seeing that this restaurant continues its role as a community gathering spot, as well as providing loyal customers great food and service and true southern hospitality, which includes our famous mile-high pies." Mitch Hutchcraft adds, "Our company is here for the long run, and we are honored to have the opponunity to share in this part of LaBelle's special history." He explained that one of the subsidiaries of the company will manage the restaurant and looks for% ard to serving Flora & Ella's nationally known% pies at the Veran- dah, Nlurphy's Landing and other Bonita Bay Group communities along the corridor of the Caloosa- hatchee River, known throughout South Floridaas The Big River. . In the past two years, The Boni-' ta Bay Group has made several commitments to Hendry County, entering into a long-term partner- ship with the Bob Paul Family to plan and develop approximately 5,200 acres in the City of LaBelle and announcing plans to develop Murphy's Landing, a 187-acre mas- ter-planned community along the Big River, The pulse of this thriving region pumps through Flora and Ella's, it is a real community asset and we are privileged to be part of it," said Boni- ta spokesman Mitch Hutchcraft. "Our goals are long term. We know that history is important...the blocks on which the future is built. Because we believe in this community, we are willing and happy to invest in it." The 'world' changes around the setting under the ancient trees but Flora & Ella's remains the same - steady and true to its founders. This "changing of the guard" is scheduled to take place Jan. 1.

By Nicole Cuny Glades County Democrat MOORE HAVEN With foot- ball season almost over, other sports have begun their 2006- 2007 season. For the fall season of sports at. Moore Haven High School, foot- ball, volleyball, and golf have fin- ished their seasons with the win- ter winding down. Currently, two sports are underway: soccer and basket- ball. The boys', basketball team began their season on Nov. 14 with a tip-off tournament. They have played six games in the sea- , son. Another 14 games are sched- uled for this year. With seven home games, the boys are sure to have many supporters in the bleachers. Following their final regular game on Feb. 1 against Labelle, the team will have the district tournament as their last game. The girls' basketball team. started their season on Nov. 13 with a home game against Walk- er Academy. They have complet- ed nine games in the season. Their district tournament is scheduled for .Jan. 30 after the final regular game against Heart- land Christian. Tonight, they have a home game against Gate- way Charter beginning at 6 p.m. With 11 more games to be played, the girls are still working hard during practice. The Junior High basketball team has a less intense schedule than the two varsity teams. Their season began on Dec. 4 with a game against LaBelle Middle School. Their season only has six more games scheduled with their last game being held on Jan. 23 against Yearling Tonight they will have an away game against Immokalee at 4 p.m. The 2006-2007 season for boys' soccer started on Nov. 10 with a game against St. John Neumann. They have already played six games in the season and are still preparing for the other seven games. Their last game will be Jan. 19 facing their close rival, LaBelle High School. The Moore Haven High 'School girls' soccer team began their season on Nov. 7th. This is the first year for the girls' soccer team; the girls have been work- ing hard to convince everyone they have what it takes. The sea- son will end today, Dec. 7th, with a junior varsity game against the Clewiston Tigers. Starting in the spring, sports will include softball, baseball, and track. Come out and support your Moore Haven High School Terri- ers as they face the rest of their opponents, whether on the bas- ketball court or soccer field.

'Walk' Event at West Glades SUDminea pnoto/Angela Larner Table for six Only six students from the Moore Haven Middle School showed up for the semi-formal .dance on Saturday, NOV. 18, at the J.J. Wiggins Building. They were Marshall, Dusten, :Ciara, Jermaine, Pooh, and Shaince. The Junior Class of 2008 would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who helped and those who attended. Thank you for your support. Science Fair at West Glades By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to the Glades County Democrat MUST It's time forthe third annual PTO Parent Teachers Organization "Walk." This is the walking event which will place at West Glades School Friday, Dec. 8 throughout the day. Respective grades will simply walk and hope to raise money for additional equip- ment in their classrooms, as well as supplies. If the event is successful enough, there'll also be funds for swings on the playground. Parents are invited and even urged to go to the school and walk with their children. Simply go to the school and check in at the office. Any student who raises at least one dollar can participate in West Glades' third "Walk". And, as Prin- cipal Larry Russell Luckey; II, says, "All a student has to do is ask for a dollar and they'll get it." All students will be given a commemorative panther cup, a symbol of the school's mascot. "The PTO's 'WALK' event is far more than just raising funds for vari- ous needs of the school," said Prin- cipal Luckey. "Learning to love walking is an activity that can go with a student all his life. Walking requires no special props, no time- table, it's simply an activity that can aid your health for the rest of your. life and add a special joy at the same time. And besides it's such great 'thinking and observing' time." Administrators are hopeful that the community will support the, event and comment that we are real happy and proud of our extra curricular events that take place here at our school all year long. For instance, last week when we had the big benefit barbecue. It was great just to see how the people poured in. \\e sold out long before the allotted time and made over $2,000! Everyone who donated anything ... time, food, or whatev- er, was so generous and we are all grateful. One person went above and beyond the last time around. And we want to go on record saying that Bob Joyner 'made our day.' Not only did he donate the chickens for the barbecue, he gave his time and expertise in actually barbecuing., those chickens and that to absolute perfection. The world could use a few more Bob Joyners! Lnewszanp.comJ Community' Link s Individual Voices STOP LEG CRAMPS 'S0 BEFORE THEY STOP YOU. IEl| r, 1 .1 .-1 jr, I TI.

Fourth through eighth grades will partici- pate in the Science Fair planned for Dec. 7. Sandy Yerk, Science Fair Coordi- nrator, says judges will be coming from all over Glades and Hendry Counties for this first event. This year, the fair will be held during the day time in order so that the entire school can participate. Next year, however, the school will be planning more of an evening "gala" event when the entire community will be brought in to participate. For this first fair, there will be approximately one hundred sci- ence and invention fair projects by students in fifth and eighth grades. Those West Glades students with winning fair projects will be participating in the 50th Annual Thomas Alva Edison Kiwanis Sci- ence'and Engineering Fair to be held at the Harborside Convention Center in Fort Myers on Jan. 27. "This year is very exciting because this is the 50th anniversary of the fair and also the State Sci- ence Fair will be held close by in Fort Myers," said Ms. Yerk. "Up until this time it's been held in Tallahas- see, but because the Five County area that the Fair represents has grown so large, we are now graced with the entire state's projects." The stallf and students of West Glades urge the entire community to visit the school and see what .extraordinary projects have been assembled.

Clewiston News D GLAOES COUNTY DEMOCRAT TheSun Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, December 7, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, December 7, 2006 Higher Ground Ministries' Gospelfest Community crusade, festival aimed to be an enjoyable event By Naji Tobias The Sun PAHOKEE There will be a community crusade as well as a Gospelfest hosted by Higher Ground Ministries from Jan. 31 to Feb 3 on the North end of the Pahokee Marina. The community crusade will be held from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. It will feature special guest speakers as well as musical groups. Aimed to bring cultural diversi- ty to Pahokee and Canal Point, the guest speakers and musical groups will be from all different races and ethnicities. It will have something for everyone. Also, for those who can't speak English, there will be inter- preters on site to accommodate all participants. Translations will be available in multiple lan- guages. There will a sign-lan- guage interpreter on hand for the hearing impaired as well. Pastor Danny Moore of Higher Ground Ministries hopes the event will be reflective of the various communities in the area. In other words, the event is there for every- one to enjoy. "I believe if we could deal with our spirits, we could deal with our human differences, whether it is cultural, racial or ethnic," stated Pastor Moore. Pastor Moore stresses the issue of cultural diversity throughout his weekly services. Now he wants to spread cultural diversity through- out the Pahokee-Canal Point region. ."As we work with the families of Higher Ground .Ministries, we strive totear down walls and cul- tural differences, learning to show love and respect for one another," said Pastor Moore. He will conclude the Gospelfesti by having a family festival on Satur- day, Feb. 3. The start time for the family festival will be 9 am. It will include games, vendors, crafts and different musical groups to perform for the com- munity. Vendors are encouraged to provide food and activities for the Feb. 3 festival. Some activities that may be at the festival include a petting zoo for the families, as well as cars and motorcycles coming in for display.

November meeting at the home of Marsha Smith in Royal Palm Beach. Marsha served a delicious Italian meal for all of the members. We only had one thing on our minds after dinner, would Emmit or Mario win on "Dancing With The Stars"? We had decided that this would be our program for the evening. We were happy that the "Cowboy" won! The members in attendance were Belty Hodges, Nora Ornelas, Julie Zambory, Becky White, and -Marsha Smith. Plans were also finalized for a Christ- mas charity. We had a great time and will be meeting at the home of Elizabelh Harrington in Loxa- hatchee in December. Congratu- lations to our GDS Gators!

In the hearts of all wise men is the same prayer; "Peace on Earth, Good will toward men" even in the midst of chaos, violence, war.. Christmas is the sign of the hope that burns in the hearts of people in spite of the tragedies that seem to captivate our attention night after night; in spite of all of the killing and terrorism, in spite of all, the war and destruction.' There is, still that echo 'from the angels with us today; "Peace on Earth, Good will towards men." I re-read a story from another war; one Christmas Eve when the troops had silenced their guns at the end of the day and echoes of "Silent Night" were play- ing in the background. (World War 1) For a minute, each side recog- nized the hymn; it was part of the Christmas tradition in their own country and language. Little by lit- tie, they ventured out of their fox- holes and exchanged greetings as best they could. For a moment, peace had prevailed over war; the promise of the baby born that day long ago was theirs if only for a short time. Did they step beyond the everyday lives into a better- realm? Did they get outside of daily moments to see something of God? I think so. The wise men at the birth of Jesus were also able to get beyond their everyday jobs of prediction, their demanded obedi- ence to the tyrant ruler of the land where they found themselves, the limited view of the moment to the greater view from God. . Once they saw the babe, their lives were changed. Going home by a different route, the star that lit the way stood as a beacon to a newer, higher calling. There was a young couple in the midst of a domestic quarrel who called me one evening. I listened for a few minutes at the shouts and insults, the name-calling and accusations, and then I asked them "What are you fighting about?" There was silence and a long pause. The wife looked at me after a few minutes and said "I don't know." The hus- band shook his head in agreement and the anger abated. I knew it was more than the surface issues and accusations; there was something that would take time, patience and involvement to find. I also believed that, in the search, the grappling to find each other through conflict could be changed to finding the other because there was some- thing greater, more sacred to be found. In the midst of conflict, there was that deeper yearning for peace. Finding that gift at Christ- mas means stepping back and ask- ing, "Why am I doing all of the things that I'm doing?" Whether it is buying presents, fixing a special meal, visiting with friends and fam- ily, sending out cards, decorating the house the peace that can come is when we recall whywe do it. At the bottom of it all, there was the child in the. manger and the gifts He brought, the hopes of peo- ple that were fulfilled in the belief in Him, the knowledge that He brought a new and better day. Those who saw beyond what was going on around them knew a bit of his peace, even amidst the wars and conflicts of their day. They lived, and still live, knowing the dream is very real and with us still. cCUSTOM , METAL BUILDINGS 130 mph pricing 20x25x9 Ambassador Vertical Roof (2:12 Pitch) 1 Roll-up Door, 2 Gable Vents I6 .Q97** w ,: y.u,e4 ...ant 0calf S.IN starting t $ Cweek, per block.

Coalition concerned about dike Schoo News By Pete Gawda INI Florida OKEECHOBEE The earth- en dike surrounding Lake Okee- chobee and aquatic weed con- trol were two of the major subjects handled by a coalition representing the nine-county area at their meeting in Okee- chobee last week. State Representative Richard Machek (D-78) also attended the Thursday, Nov. 30, meeting of the Nine County Coalition for Responsible Management of Lake Okeechobee St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Estuaries and Lake Worth Lagoon. The coalition also approved two requests for funding for environmental projects. The coalition is made up of commissioners representing Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Martin, Lee, Palm Beach, Hendry, Glades, Highlands and Osceola counties. "I'm listening," Representa- tive Machek said. "I hear your concerns loud and clear." He said it is public input that makes the government system work. . "A lot of it all boils down to money." the Representative said. "A clean lake calls for more money." Kim Taplin, from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) described to the coalition the rehabilitation of the Herbert Hoover Dike that is going on in between Port Mayaca and Belle Glade. This includes backfilling the existing toe ditch, building a seepage berm, acquiring new right-of-way and building a cut- off wall. Studies are going on to determine the best method of rehabilitation for the area between Moore Haven and Belle Glade. Palm Beach County' Commis- sioner Warren Newell said there was a lot of discussion going on as to the difference between a levee and a dam. He said a levee is designed to temporarily keep back high water, while a dam is permanent. Ms. Taplin said the goal of the COE was to rehabilitate the dike. She said that converting to dam standards would require a total reconstruct. I "We won't have a recon- structed dam for many years," she said. She said rehabilitation work on the dike is continuing while discussion is ongoing about changing the status to a dam. "We prefer it stay as a levee and move on to get it fixed," SFWMD governing board mem- ber Malcolm Wade said. "I don't care what it is called as long as it provides protec- tion," said Commissioner Newel. Ken Langeland, from the Uni- versity of Florida, gave an overview of aquatic weed con- trols. He said there were several state and federal agencies involved in aquatic weed control. There is a Lake Okeechobee Interagency Aquatic Plant Take Force to coordinate plant removal among the various agencies. He said the public is invited to these meetings and that some members of the pub- lic had been giving good input. These next meetings will be held Feb 21 in Okeechobee and Feb. 22 in Clewiston. . Mr. Langeland said SFWMD targets invasive species and cat- tails, while COE is tasked with controlling water lettuce and water hyacinth. One of the objectives of the program is to manage exotic species to the benefit of native plants. Mechanical .harvesting is expensive and because of that, Mr. Langeland said the use of herbicides is the primary method in controlling exotic plants. Acting on the motion made by Martin County, Commissioner Sarah Heard, the coalition passed a resolution urging Con- gress to fund the Indian River Lagoon South and Picayune Stand projects which would restore 160,000 acres of wetland that are under immediate threat of development. The coalition also approved a request for funds from the state Legislature. Garrett Wallace of the South Florida Water Manage- ment District (SFWMD) put together a list of community- based environmental projects that would require funding from the Legislature. The projects total funding will mean state appropri- ations of $36 million and local matching funds of $36 million. This includes two projects totaling $6,200,000 for Lake Okeechobee. The first project includes con- tinued expansion of water stor- age and treatment on public, pri- vate and tribal lands Water storage will improve the quality of water reaching Lake Okee- chobee. Currently, there are 12 water storage sites in various stages of completion. An addi- tional $4.2 million is requested to include more sites. The other project deals with sediment removal from Lake Okeechobee. The removal of sediment would reduce the amount of phosphorous that would come back into the water from the sediments. It would also reduce the amount of sedi- ment that can be stirred up by major storms causing turbidity in the water. Requested funding for this project is $2 million. A pilot dredging project in Eagle Bay will provide informa- tion for larger scale dredging. SFWMD's Dr. Susan Gray stated that a request for proposal has already beensent out for this project. Mr. Wallace said the project list would be presented to the SFWMD governing board for approval, as well as the county commissions in the 16 counties served by SFWMD. Ms. Taplin also gave an update on the Kissimmee River Restoration project. She said that 7 miles have been backfilled and that 90 percent of the land for continued restoration has been acquired. She added that there is a contract to backfill another 2 miles At the last meeting, questions about using state land for %water storage were raised. Lee County Commissioner Ray Judah referred to a letter from Eva Armstrong, director of the division of state lands. The letter stated that there were 14,000 acres of state-owned land that, according to the language of the Everglades Forever Act, was leased to farmers wvho lost land to the Everglades. There were also other isolated parcels that fell to the state because of tax defaults and scat- tered properties from restored lake bottoms. However, these properties are too small and scat- tered to be of any use for water storage. Post your opinions in the Public Issues Forum at www.newszap.com.

December 7, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Tigers lose heartbreaker in triple overtime By Jeff Barwick The Clewiston Tigers lost a thrilling, yet heartbreaking, state championship game to Jack- sonville Bolles in triple overtime, 27-24, at Dolphins Stadium in Miami Lakes on Saturday. The battle of two teams with 13-0 records lived up to all of its pre- game hoopla and the Tigers liter- ally gave it all they had. They outplayed Bolles on the offensive, defensive and punting portions of the game but some- how still lost. Probably the most compelling reason for the loss was the fact that the Tigers were physically exhausted as the game neared its end in regulation play. With six or seven Tigers having to play extensively on both sides of, the ball all night due to a lack of depth, while. Bolles had com- pletely separate offensive and defensive teams, along with a staff of 15 coaches, and their play- ers had ample rest periods during. the contest. In front of a crowd of about 5,000 in'their stands, the Tigers clearly dominated the first half of play but had no points to show for it. The crowd included a huge number of Tiger fans along with supporters from Pahokee and Belle Glade who were hopeful of seeing a championship sweep in Classes 3A, 2A, 2B, and 1A for teams from the muck. Glades Day and Pahokee had previously each won their championship game and Glades Central's game is* scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m. at Dolphins Stadium. After going three and out on their initial possession, Tiger defensive tackle Willie Armstrong literally ripped the all away from Bolles Bulldog qualtetIback for ,: takeaway at the Tiger 27 to kill the drive. Tiger quarterback Jaied Combass immediately\ iat tight end Kale Mitchell for a 21-yard gain and then got 6 and 14 yard runs from tailback Collin Ricketts. Moments later, facing a third and 9 at the Bulldog 19, a Combass pass' was intercepted and returned 26 yards. The Tiger defense shut down Bolles and forced a punt which only carried 15 yards giving the Tigers excel- lent field position at their 47. _, Combass hit wideout John Melton for 10 yards and a Tiger first down at the Bulldog 43. But two plays into the second period, Combass, was again intercepted by the alert Bulldog secondary. After alloL ding tm\o first d, :'., i, the Tiger defense sact:ed' ihe Bolles quarterback twice and forcing a puntL The sacks were made by defensive end Johnny Jones for a 13-yard loss and line- backer Collin Ricketts for a minus 11. The Tiger offense got the ball back near midfield thanks to another poor Bolles punt. Tail- back Darris Hughes had runs of 3 and 4 yards, and then Ricketts slammed up the middle for 16. The Tigers were penalized 10 yards for holding and then anoth- er 5 for an illegal shift. Facing a third and 23 for a first down, Com- bass threaded the needle to wide- out Jasper Hunter who ran over defenders for 21 yards setting up a Suomitled photos/Jeff Barwick Clewiston Asst.

The Tigers went for it and Ricketts appeared to have easily made the first down but the spoiling official marked the ball \\here Ricketl's knee hit the around, not where the tall as whten his knee hit the ground. As result, the 'attempt came up inches short and the ball x\ent o.t\er on dorins to the Bull- dogs at their 25. There were no oih,-r serious first half offensive movements by either team. The Tigers kicked off to begin the second hall arid J-ihn Melton irntir-cetped a Bulldog pass and ilit red it 6 ia,ds giving the ball to rthe otllense at the Bulldog 26 \\lth just a minirute gone off the clock.

Ricketts dashed off the right side for a six-Nard touch- down run. Kicker Will Davis' point alter kick was perfect and theTigerswere on top, 7-0. The Tiger defense once again stymied the Bulldogs, forcing another short punt. Fion- the Bolles 43, Combass .hooked up \ ith Mitchell again for, 16 yards for a first' down at the Bulldog 27.

Facirig a Icur iiri dio nn and 1, the Tigers lined up in their power I offense but with fullback David Pope in the tailback position. Pope used his 235 pounds and 100 percent determination to pick up two yards and a first down at the 17. Combass then dropped back and threw towards the end zone. A Bolles defender grabbed the ball at the goal line and ran it back out to the six, stifling anoth- er Tiger drive. The Bulldogs then elected to try and run the ball and did pick up two first downs before being forced to punt with 1:20 remaining in the third period.

The Tiger defense held and got the ball back ifr the offense at the Tiger 33 yard line.. After two short gains, Ricketts came off his right tackle and dragged Bulldogs with him for an 8-yvard gain and an appaieni first down.

Both defenses held the opposi- tion in check on their next offen- sive series.

The Kansas tiebreaker system used in Florida high school foot- ball involves each team getting the ball from the ten-yard line and having four plays to score. The Tigers got the first crack and scored on the third play when Darris Hughes took a pitch around his left side and streaked for the end zone pylon. Davis then added the all-important extra point. The Bulldogs got into the end zone on their sec- ond play on a 10-yard run and the kick was good to send the game into the second overtime. This time, Bolles went first and immediately got penalized 10 yards for holding. A play later and facing a third and 15; Hardin threw to Hern- don who dove from the end zone back out to the one as he cradled the ball. To sideline observers, right at the play, it appeared and sounded as if the ball hit the ground between his arms. On their fourth down attempt, Hardin quarterback, sneaked for the touchdown fol- lowed by the point after kick.. The Tigers were now behind for the first time in the game, 21-14. Not- to worry, here came the Tigers.. Ricketts ran for one against a stacked Bolles defense. Combass then faked a handoff into the line and threw to tight end Delvin Hughes who ram- bled for nine. yards and the score. As he made the end zone, Hughes dove in and he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct moving the extra point attempt from the three yard line all the way backto the 18, giving Davis a 35 yard extra point kick. A miss would spell the end but Davis was perfect to tie the game back at 21. In the third overtime period, Clewiston had two rushes for a total of two yards and an incom- plete pass before Davis came on and booted a 28-yard field goal giving the Tigers a 24-21 advan- tage. Bolles got three yards on their first run and then wingback Andre Byrd scooted around the right side arid through the exhausted Tiger defense for the game-winning touchdown. The Tiger defense, simply running 'out. of gas after a Her- culean effort, was superb. They were up against a team that had netted 2,710 yards rush- ing and 3,039 yards passing on the season, averaging 442 yard of total offense per game. Bull- dogs quarterback Randy Hardin, committed to Southern Missis- sippi, was averaging a 70 per- cent completion rate and over Submitted photos/Jeff Barwick Tailback Darris Hughes sets sail for a 5 yard touchdown in the first overtime. Tight end Delvin Hughes after snagging a Jared Combass :pass head for paydirt in the second overtime. , 234 yards per game. The Tigers held him to 8 completions on 19 tries and only 134 yards. Unfor- tunately, 58 of those yards came on the final period touchdown. The Tigers also held Bolles ground attack that had averaged over 10 yards a carry on the year to an average of 2.9 yards of the night. The Tiger squad literally col- lapsed on the field after the Bolles winning touchdown Coaches and staff were busy try- ing to console the distraught Tigers and treat an injured play- er. But, the coaches and staff were also distraught and the task was an impossible one. Tiger Willie Armstrong, openly sobbed with his eyes on the ground and said over and over, "We worked so hard for this." The Tigers' .dream of a per- fect season and the coveted out- right state 'championship that had eluded Clewiston for so many years had vanished. Also, the region's dream of a Muck Sweep also vanished. After the emotions subsided, Tiger head coach Larry Antonac- ci got the Tigers to hold their heads high for their fhns and start the healing process from such an emotional loss. "That blocked field goal at the end of the last quarter was so crucial,". said Coach Antonacci. "We knew our team \\as physically exhausted. ' This was the Tigers sixth' trip to the state championship game ,and now they have a 0-5-1 record, with the 1982 team hav- ing been co-champions based on a 13-13 tie with Jefferson County. In those days, there were no overtime provisions. Remarkably this was only the second overtime championship game in the 15 years, and more than 100 contests, that the over- time provisions have been in force. While the results of the final game are difficult for the coach- es, team, student body and the fans to deal with, the 2006 edi- tion of the Tigers was one of the best in school history and gave all of their followers and sup- porters a lot to be thankful for and to appreciate. For the under- classmen there is always next season but for the 19 seniors this was it. While they didn't quite reach their goal, those seniors should look forward to their next challenges realizing all of Sports in Brief the great things they did accom- plish. Looking in retrospect at the game, analyzing the statis- tics, the intensity and breaking down the various facets of foot- blall, this was a game the Tigers won-everywhere but on the scoreboard. Each Tiger fan in attendance that watched the open mourning by the Tigers immediately, after the game, shared in their grief and pain. Simply but sadly said, it just was- n't meant to be.

BOLD MOVES South Florida Ford Dealers i~2~~ RED CARPET LEASE 2007 Fusion 14 2006 Explorer XLT Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, December 7, 2006 Alliance promotes youth football & cheerleading leagues MIAMI For eight years, the Orange Bowl Youth Football League (OBYFL) has served as the name and face of South Florida youth football. The organization, its outreach to athletics and cheer- leading and its commitment to support youth across the region have not changed only its name. Effective today, O.B. Youth Sports LLC officially has renamed the program "Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance." "The new name better defines what we are," says the Orange Bowl Committee's Youth Sports Manager Jose A. Regalado. "Orange Bowl Youth Football was never actually a 'league' in the true sense because it affiliates with and sup- ports many leagues, but does not run them. 'Alliance' more accurately explains what we do so, from now on, we are the Orange Bowl Youth FootballAlliance-or OBYFA." OBYFA teams now are compet- ingin their playoffs with a record- high eight member leagues spread out across eight South Florida counties, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe, Martin, and St. Lucie on Florida's southeast coast; Collier and Lee on the southwest coast. . The Orange Bowl Youth Foot- ball Alliance is comprised of five long-time member leagues: Key West Junior Football League, Miami Xtreme Youth Football League (MXYFL), Glades Tri-City Youth Athletic League, Treasure Coast Youth Football League and Western Communities, Football League, along with three new members for 2006 the National Shorthanded Tigers place fourth The season opened for Clewis- ton's wrestling team at Golden Gate High School on Nov. 18. The Tigers were a little short-handed, missing key starters who are still in playoffs for football, but came out ready to wrestle. With six empty spots on the roster, there was a lot of pressure on the eight high school athletes to perform and represent the school properly. Facing full 14 man squads, the Tigers battled all day and came away very success- ful. Ninth grader Bryan Bacallao finished at third place in the 112 lb weight class and was 3-1 for the day. Mason Cole, ninth grade, fin- ished fourth at the 130 lb weight class and was 3-2 for the day. Bran- don Caulkins, 125 lb; Joey Cordo- va, 140 Ib; Kris Smith 145 lb and Jamar Boykin .189 lb, all finished first and are currently undefeated. Boykin made a huge 6-5 win in the finals over Carter from Golden Gate, who was the number one ranked athlete in the District this season. Although the score was close, Boykin dominated the match and forced Carter to take two injury time outs to regain his air. In the end the eight-man team from Clewiston placed fourth out at the Golden Gate Invitational. "All you can hope for as a coach is that your kids always try their best and always represent the school and the town with respect and dignity," says Coach Alford. Racecar exhibition planned HENDRY COUNTY The- USA Sprints Stars & Cars will take to the New Hendrv County Speedway on Saturday, Dec. 9, as an exhibition performance and show only.
