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.

MOOURE A\V-.N A
woman 'from Homestead was
arrested on Nov. 6 by Sgt. Ron-
:ie Bak, -r of the Glades County
Sheriff's Department.
Terri Lynn Bl uno, 30, was
pulled over for speeding
through a 35 mph speed zone
on U.S. 27.., According to a
police report, marijuana was
allegedly found in her vehicle,
and cocaine was reportedly
fourd in her clothing. The pas-
senger of the vehicle w\as also
arrested.
Sgt. Baker was conducting
stationary radar at the Country
K store when he ,saw an SUV
traveling northbound in the 200


arrest

block of US 27. 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

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.

Donna Storter Long


takes oath of office


By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN The
Glades County Commission
meeting of Monday, Nov. 27
began with Donna Storter Long
being sworn in by Judge Jack
Lundy. 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.
Discussion focused on ques-

Toy-related injuries send kids to E.R.


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.

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

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. He
noted that the stormwater treat-
ment areas (STAs) proposed by
SFWMD to store excess waler did
not have enough capacity. He
asserted that a flow way might be
more helpful and the estuaries
would not be damages. He was
opposed to the ASRsystem.

ply utilities in these areas; with-

A formal water shortage warn-
ing remains in place for the Dis-
trict's Lower East Coast Service
Area, which comprises Monroe,
Miami-Dade, Broward and east-
ern Palm Beach Counties.
Though no mandatory water
restrictions have been issued as
part of this warning, the District is
encouraging both residential and
agricultural water users here to
voluntarily reduce their water
consumption as a preemptive
measure to avoid or forestall
potential water shortage orders

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.

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.

MHHS sports teams are


in full swing for the winter

Accomplished readers
Ms. Alicia Lee's kindergarten class at Moore Haven Elementary won a book on Nov. 17.
,"They participated in an Accelerated Reader contest. The students had to listen to a pas-
sage from a book, and then identify the title of the book it was taken from. They have read
many books in the program so this was quite an accomplishment.

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!

Special to Glades
County Democrat
GLADES COUNTY It's a first
- the first ever Science Fair to be
held at West Glades School. 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.

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.
To obtain more information
about the Gospelfest, contact
Carol Paden at 924-2767 or the
Pahokee-Canal Point Ministerial
Association at P.O. Box 326, Canal
Point, FL 33438.

Sorority

enjoys dinner

meeting
ROYAL PALM BEACH Beta
Sigma Phi's Nu Kappa chapter
held their. 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!

Christmas; seeing beyond annual routines neW8Za

By The Rev. Samuel S.
SThomas, Ph.D.+
SSaint Martin's Church, Clewiston
There are no signs on the hori-
zon that we will have "Peace on
'Earth" this year at Christmas. In
,fact, it seems
that our con--
flicts are getting
worse accord-
ing to the W,
reports we get .
in the news. We -
are about two
and a half
weeks from
Christmas; that Samuel S.
!special holiday Thsma
that can cause
g:people to stop for a moment to
' recall the infant in the manger, the
.:shepherds and wise men, the
Smother and father at the side of a
newborn child, the angels and ani-
jmals surrounding the scene, the
\ star in the East.
This is the star that continues to.
'shine; the Mideast can be bathed in
its light once more if we look for it.
SThis year there will be animals and
casualties, newborns and death,

I ;


parents with worries about what is
to become of their children and the
wise men who realize something is
there beyond just what is going on
around them. 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.

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.

County Attorney Richard Pringle
reminded the commission that
the county cannot enforce deed

The commissioners ques-

No decisions were made on the

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

fourth and two with a little over 3
minutes remaining in the half.
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

backfield, % ith a short pass and

the next plaY. 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. Ricketts ran for 1 yard
and then Darris Hughes rolled for

'., iched btetw\een Lhe runs. 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.
Early in the final period, the
Bolles defense held the Tigers and

The Tiger defense held and got
the ball back ifr the offense at the

After two short gains, Ricketts
came off his right tackle and

conversion knotted the score at

Tigers
Continued From Page 13
allowed a Bulldog defender to
break right up the middle and
block the 24-yard attempt, send-
ing the game into overtime.
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

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

the great things they did accom-

the game, analyzing the statis-

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-

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.
