Some winter residents may have returned recently and found the packet that was hang- ing on their front door or gate. The survey packet included a yellow cover letter and informa- tion sheet. Over the past sekeal months the \ellow co\er shieet probably laded and seasonal residents may wonder w hat it is all about. Many people have incorrect or confusing addresses and this can make it nearly impossible for the fire department or amtnju- lance to reach them in time. Ms. Helfinstine would like ever one in the county to fill out the survey with vital and accu- rate information and mail it in the starnped pre-addressed envelope. Prompt return of the survey to her office will ensure that emergency vehicles and heli- coptets make it to all homes in Glades County as fast as possi- ble. Man\ current addresses are incorrect and some streets have two names, or the street num- bers are switched. This can delay a response time if the per- son at the right addresses is injured, or seriously ill. This state-of-the-art system will cover all of Glades County, including the incorporated town of Moore Haven and the Brighton Reservation. The 911 emergency mapping and dis- patch system will be done with Global Positioning Satellite, which is better known as GPS. Ms. Helfinstine wants all county residents to know that the survey is kept strictly confi- dential and no information will be sold or divulged to anyone. Only the 911 dispatcher will use your location in an emergency. She also wants everyone to know that old addresses will be .kept on file at the post office and mail will be forwarded to newly See System Page 12 Unidentified body found at edge of canal By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat GLADES COUNTY On Tuesday, Dec. 5, a citizen called the Glades County Sheriff's office and reported the discov- ery of a dead body. Investigators are now left wondering the identity of the person, as well as his cause of death. The agency is handling the case as a possible murder. The remains were found on the-edge of a canal in the area of Corner Oaks-Road and Muse Road, according to law enforcement officials. After GCSO deputies con- firmed that it was an unidenli- flied body, the Criminal Investi- gations Division was called in to respond to the mysterious death. The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office also assisted with locating forensic evidence. The Glades County Sheriff's Office is treating this as a homi- cide until additional informa- tion is found. The body has been turned over to the Ft. Myers medical examiner in order to seek identification and ascertain the cause of death. It you have any information about this case, you are asked to contact Detective Steve Har- ris at (863) 946-1600.

Sometimes ATV drivers allow children to ride as passengers when the vehicle is clearly designed for one driver. Deputy Jim Hill noted that See Safety -Page 12 By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat MOORE HAVEN The Moore Haven City Council met on Dec. 5 and discussed the possibility of rebuilding the livestock arena, bleachers and rodeo grounds located near the Chalo Nitka Park. After some discussion, the council determined that more plan- ning and research is needed before it is able to go forward with the project. The importance of the live- stock and rodeo grounds was noted because of the rural community's agriculture economy, FFA and 4-H.. It is also an important fea- ture during Chalo Nitka Days, which serves to attract tourism to the area. Repairs to the city dock will be done by Kelly Brothers.

Pet Corner Question: Dear Doc Savvy. What age is too old to consider spaying and neutering you dog? Thanks, Jose in Canal Point. Answer: Hey Jose, that is a great ques- tion. Basically, a dog is never too old to spay or neuter as long as they are in good health and are good candi- Do dates for sur- Say gery and anesthesia. If there is a health concern or diagnosis where spaying and- neutering is curative, then age is irrelevant. Especially if surgery will nulli- fy a problem like cancer, in both males and females, or benign prostatic syndrome in older non- neutered males. The best time to spay or neuter a dog is a matter of opin- ion and there are many schools of thought. For large breed dogs, waiting until 1 year of age is best. Larger dogs need more time to develop their bone structure. Many times waiting can deter some orthopedic conditions. Medium dogs can be altered at a Obituaries Lewis Lloyd Blount Lewis Lloyd Blount, age 79, of Clewiston, died on Saturday, Nov. 18,2006 in Cape Coral.- He \was born on Aug. 7, 1927 in Arcadia, the son of the late Lewis Lloyd and the late Maude, Cecelia (Rainey) Lisle.

Interment followed in Ridgelawn Cemetery, Cle%'ision. All arrangements were under younger age, or waiting until I year of age too will be all right. Smaller dogs like Chihuahuas take a shorter period of time to become full-grown, so 6 months of age is very appropriate. As a side note, I think cats should be spayed and neutered as early as 4 months of age. We have such a wild cat problem in our area, so for them...The younger the better.

Hand washing is the first line of defense against disease. Simple soap and water can get rid of germs before they are transferred from your hands to your mouth, nose or eyes. Alw a\s wash your hands before eating and before touching any part bfvour face A few years ago, the U.S. Army conducted a test in which the-\ required soldiers in one group to wash their hands fixe times a day. The soldiers in the other group were not given an\ special instruc- tions and follow ed their normal routine. The test found a significant reduction in "sick calls" by the sol- diers in the hand washing group The\ reported lewer cases ol colds and flu. According a the Florida Depart- ment of Health press release, the ,first National Hand Washing Aw\ areness \Week started in 1999 in Cincinnati, Ohio due to the flu vac- cine The Greater Cincinnalti Health Council Flu Vaccine Committee began educating the public on hand washing as the first line of defense against the flu or flu-like ill- ness. "Floridians must take proactive measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases thr':; u--'Timple hand washing with soap and A Healthier ' Life \ $ with Katrina Elsken water," said Deputy State Health Officer Bonita Sorensen, M.D., M.B.A. "Reviewing and making use of these techniques %will prepare and protect residents ol Florida during the flu season." According to the Centers lor Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hand Dwashing is the single most important means in prevent- ing the spread of infection. The CDC estimates that 36,000 people die frorn the flu or flu-like illness each \ear, 5,000 people die from food borne illness each year. and between 7.S,000 and 90,000 patients die each year from Hospi- tal Acquired Infections (HA.iJ, for which a direct link to many of these deaths is poor hand washing. Furthermore, there are two mil- lion of 33 million hospital-admitted patients who contract HAIs annual- ly. There are 76 million food borne : illnesses each Near resulting in : more than 300,000 hospital admis- sions. Hand washing and hand awareness are important for noso- comial infection prevention, food- safety, school health, personal health and disease prevention. 164 million days are lost from school due to illness, of which 22 million are due to the cornmor cold alone. To keep hands clean, DOH rec- ommends hand %washing: e Before preparing or eating food; e Before and after tending to someone who is sick; e Before and after treating a cut or wound; After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing; After handling an animal or animal waste; Alter handling garbage, Alter going to the bathroom; and, ' After changing diapers or cleaning up after a child who has gone to the bathroom. If you prefer to use anti-bacteri- ological soaps, that's fine. But stud- ies show that regular soap and water do a fine job. Just take N our time and work up a good lather before you rinse. At home, make sure you dry your hands on a clean towel.

Christmas Concert at West Glades By Barbara Oehlbeck Special to Glades County Democrat The second annual West Glades Christmas Concert will be at 7 p.m. the night of Dec. 14. The concert will be composed of two parts, first, the chorus, then the band. The concert will feature the West Glades Chorus with students from kindergarten through the Fifth grade. Chorus members have been working for weeks on this, their second annual concert. When you hear these students you will readily understand how hard they've been working on this pro- gram. Both traditional and contem- porary songs will be included. Part two of the Christmas Con- cert will be by two West Glades Bands, the beginner's band and the intermediate band. This also will be the second annual band concert for both groups. This will probably come as quite a surprise to most who are not immediately connected with the bands or the school but it is worth knowing. The Chorus and Band Leader of West Glades School is a famous musician by the name of Dean Paul, who in earlier years played with the equally famous Benny Goodman band. The Goodman Dance Band played all over the world at one time, mostly for dance concerts. Mr. Goodman was a band leader who thought as highly of taking his band to small towns to play as he did for the largest audiences in New York and London, Miami and Glades At a Glance Are you a blogger?

In my own earlier days, I recall Benny Goodman bringing his band to a relatively small town in south- ern Virginia to play for a dance which had to be held in the armory because there was no larger place available. When the dance was over and the admission money was handed to Mr. Goodman, although he was not a southerner, with true south- ern grace he politely turned over the entire amount to be used for the soldiers coming back from World War II. Everyone is invited to attend the Christmas Concert at West Glades School. There is no admission charge. Parents and other family mem- bers are especially invited to attend. These students have worked relent- lessly for weeks and weeks to make this their best concert. To look out at the audience and see their parents, family members and friends will be all the reward these students need. By Dan Culbert Extension Horticulture Agent Last week this column talked about REAL Christmas Trees for your indoor holiday decorations. Some may prefer the look smell and feel of an old-fashioned ever- green tree all decked out with lights ornaments and loaded with lots of presents stacked under the tree. Other Floridians may want to break with tradition and use a more tropical symbol for their Christmas tree. To celebrate the end of the year in Florida -style, what could be more tropical than a palm tree? Many palms can be brought indoors for the holidays and returned to the patio or even added to the landscape after the New Year. A look around local nurseries will find a plant called the Christ- mas Palm, which can be beautifully decorated as a holiday tree. But if the Christmas Palm is to be added to the Florida Yard, be aware this tropical palm is sensitive to cold temperatures and is suscep- tible to an incurable disease. It's a good subject for this week's col- umn. Another name for Christmas The Christmas Palm has a clus- ter of deep crimson red fruit which appears in winter. These berries give this palm the traditional red and green color combination and yet have the tropical appeal. Fruit appear like magic on a smooth ringed trunk. Other names may be used with this palm: Manila Palm hints at its origin in the Philippines. Dwarf Royal Palm suggests that it small version of the tall, smooth-trunked street palms seen on tropical south Florida streets and parks. Adonidia Palm refers to its for- mer scientific name, which is now Veitchia merrilli. One attractive feature of this beauty is that it is fast growing. For smaller homes, its 20-30 feet in height will not be too tall. Slender trunks, elegantly feathery arching leaves, and the clusters of large, red fruit make these palms particularly attractive when planted in informal groups. Recent hurricanes have also shown they can withstand the high winds that come with tropical storms. Christmas Palms have single trunks, but may be seen in the nurs- ery as doubles or triples. If growers place a couple of seedlings togeth- er in the container, they will form a more attractive clump. This palm is noted for its "self-cleaning" fronds, so as older leaves drop off without the need for pruning, they will not leave a 'boot' on the trunk. Perfect places for delightful dwarf pal They can be kept in the contain- er for some time, and could then be brought indoors in case of cold weather. And this is problem num- ber one with the Christmas Palm in our area. When temperatures reach into the low 30's, this palm may develop leaf spots that only become apparent several weeks afterwards. It will survive short durations of temperatures in the mid 20's. The small size and ability to adapt to a variety of landscape situ- ations make this a possible Florida Yard choice. Christmas palms should receive some shade while young but will grow better in lull sun when older. There is a yellow variety of this palm that is some- times available called "Manila Gold". It is said to handle less light and it grows a bit slower, making it easier to keep it in a container. They can grow in almost any soil that is well-drained, and they only need a moderate amount of water once established. As with all palms, give them special palm fer- tilizers several times each year. Sur- face roots are not a problem. Beware Yellowed Palms Remember those picture post- cards of Miami Beach covered with coconut Palms? Several years ago, a disease was spread by a small plant-hopping insect and killed oil many of these palms. It turns out that the Christmas palm is even more sensitive to this disease than the coconut. So problem number two is that this Veitchia is highly suscepti- ble to the deadly Lethal Yellowing (LY) disease. Over the years we have discovered some expensive antibiotic treatments and have used some insecticides to slow the spread of the insect that carries LY. However, some recent outbreaks of LY have come back and are again affecting coconuts- and Christmas palms. Nursery customers may want to avoid Christmas palms grown in areas with recent outbreaks. There is no "cure" unless the disease is caught before symptoms are noticeable. Once infected, LY dis- eased palms need to be removed as soon as possible. Leaving the dying palms in the landscape will increase the odds of spreading the disease to nearby susceptible palms. Check \with our office if you need more details on LY symptoms and management ideas. The best use of this tropical beauty may be to keep it as a patio plant where it may be protected from cold andinside a screen to hold off the disease carrying insects. If you keep up with the fer- tilizers, you ma be rewarded with a taste of the tropics that is fit for a tropical Christmas tree.

Pedestrian safety awareness event planned for city By Nena Bolan Glades County Democrat MOORE HAVEN The Glades County Community Traffic Safety Team will host pedestrian safety awareness event on Dec. 16, to. focus on hazards that pedestrians face when they cross U.S. 27; especially school students. Families will get to meet local law officers, EMS workers and safety team members who will encourage all pedestrians to use the designated crosswalk on the heavily used highway that runs through the middle of town. The event will be from 10 to 1 p.m. near the Glades County Sher- iff's Office on Sixth Street, which has a crosswalk where a crossing guard is stationed at the start and end of a school day. Prizes or coupons will be avail- able to young people. English and Spanish will be spoken. The Community Traffic Safety Team is very concerned about pedestrian safety; especially among school students. Young people have been seen crossing U.S. 27 at nunierous places other than the designated crosswalk. Some youngsters have even been seen stopping traffic on their own in order to cross the high- way. Organizers of the event hope a tragedy can be averted by educat- ing pedestrians about the cross- walk at Sixth Street. Local businesses are encour- aged to participate. Inquiries and other questions can be directed to Kimberly Hill of the Glades Coun- ty Sheriff's Office at 946-1600.

Samuel S. Thomas, Ph. D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston I don't know how many hours I've spent in waiting rooms over the years. Usually, I'm not alone and the faces around me seem to say, "We're all here, in this togeth- er." Some have had new maga- zines; others have had collections of leftovers that look well-read and well-worn. Usually they are about everything but something I could be interested'in reading. In the meantime, we wait and wait. I would bet that some of the best- thought-out prayers and some of the deepest meditations are offered in waiting rooms, while other times they are places of frustration. This is a time of 'cap- tivity'; something is to come but it's not there yet and we can't make it happen any sooner. For children, waiting seems to be akin to punishment; adults usually doing a better job by sheer resignation and adults tak- ing care of chil-: a -, dren while waiting are to receive our sympathy. Peo- r r ple just don't like to wait. What I try to do is to take advantage of the time spent SamuelS. "on hold" by Thomas reading a mag- azine or book of My own choos- ing, bringing some paperwork to complete, doing word games, writing to someone. Time passes and f gain something. I recalled a curious passage in the Bible about waiting; "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. (Isaiah 40:31)." I usually don't think about waiting and growing stronger at the same time; but it has to do with what I do while I wait. One translation, "Those who hope in the Lord..." offered a key as I thought about it. Waiting is not a useless, frustrit- ing period if it is to look forward. In looking ahead; we prepare for what is to come. As we're preparing for Christ- mas, we just don't wait for it to happen, we get ready for it.by our daily acts to contribute to the great holiday. If we really want to prepare, we get ready spiritually, by going over what the holiday is about, making it personal to our loved ones and ourselves, relat- ing our lives to the story of Christ- mas and making it a true "holi- day" (or "holy day"). We are not just passively sitting around, but active and alive in getting ready. Hope replaces frustration by giv- ing us a direction to where we're going and what we can do to "redeem the time." I have had times when I've commuted long distances to and from work or on job-related mis- sions. It was finding out how to use the time in transit to prepare for getting there or to ;learn something new that turned the lost hours into gained time. A tape deck helped with learning, picking up skills or completing continuing education courses all made the time useful. I look at getting ready for Christmas in the same way; letters to write, peo- ple to contact, services to pre- pare, friends to visit, trips to make, celebrations to share all add to the special event %\hen it comes. I've learned that the Lord is also in the preparation as much as he is in the destination; and the destination is all the more special because we've arrived there together. Each step along the way is important; each Area Church News in Brief INI/Katrina Elsken Christmas in Florida Brighton Seminole Reservation had a colorful, lighted float in the Lighted Christmas Parade in downtown Okee- chobee on Saturday, Dec. 9.

I Thursday, December 14, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee i1 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, December 14, 2006 Coalition concerned about dike By Pete Gawda INI Florida OKEECHOBEE The earthen dike surrounding Lake Okee- chobee and aquatic weed control were two of the major subjects handled by a coalition represent- ing the nine-county area at their meeting in Okeechobee 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 envi- ronmental 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," Representative Machek said. "I hear your con- cerns 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 for 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. "We won't have a reconstruct- ed dam for manyyears," 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 protection," 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 agen- cies. He said the public is invited to these meetings and that some members of the public 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 her- bicides 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 Congress to fund the Indian River Lagoon South and Picayune Stand proj- ects which would restore 160,000 acres of wetland that are under immediate threat of develop- ment. The coalition also approved a request for funds from the state Legislature. Garrett Wallace of the South Florida Water Manage- ment District ISFWMD) put together a list of community- based environmental projects that would require funding from the Legislature. The projects total state appropriations of $36. mil- lion 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 can come back into the water from the sediments. It would also reduce the amount of sediment 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 been sent 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 Restora- tion 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 let- ter 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 who 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.

From meetings to other individual deeds, we've kept ourselves ! very busy. "' We had our first Exhibitor meeting , on Nov. 28, to discuss what we had to have by Saturday (our first weigh-in) in order to be allowed into the fair. By then, we needed to have five "letters "1111 to prospective buyers" letters, a bill of sale, an. official entry form, and a pig, between 55 and 85 pounds. We all made it in to the fair without many issues. On Nov. 30, some of you may have noticed a bit of-a difference on the road in front of the school. Thanks to a4 handful of FFA members (Kim Feilder, President, Lauren Hall, Vice President, Steven Stewart, Secretary, Katie Whid- den, Reporter, Jennifer Davidson, Sen- tinel, Bailey Adkins, Student Advisor, Adam Hare, Michelle Langston, and Allison Barnes) the old, fading paw- prints in front of the school on Francis- co (or as.we now call it Tiger Lane) -are ow bright, yellow and big.

Christmas Cactus is a great holiday gift idea By Gene McAvoy, Hendry County Horticulture Agent. Christmas is nearly upon us. This is the time for giving and receiving gifts including flowering potted plants. A bright, colorful azalea, Christmas begonia, chrysanthemum or a gaily decorated poinsettia, kalanchoe, or Christmas cactus added to the other decorations in the home helps give the holiday season a festive air. While the poinsettia remains the most popular of the holiday plants, a, healthy Christmas cactus in full bloom is a.great gift idea for that special gar- dener. They are easy to care for and can be grown indoors throughout the year. The flowers range in color from yellow, salmon, pink, fuschia and white or combinations of those col- ors. These plants can be enjoyed not only during the, holidays but will remain attractive far into the New Year and can give year round enjoyment if well cared for. A well drained soil is a must for Christmas cactus. Use a com- mercially packaged potting mix for succulent plants or mix your own composed of equal parts of garden soil, compost and clean coarse sand. Add a quart of wood ashes per bushel of mixture and one tenth part by bulk of old dry cow manure may be added if your garden soil is poor. The Christmas cactus is not a true cactus and is not quite as drought tol- erant as name implies. However, it is a succulent plant and can store a rea- sonable quantity of water in the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top half of the soil in the pot feels dry to the touch. During the summer, water frequently so, the soil is kept continually moist. When fall arrives, water the plant only well enough to prevent wilting. After the plant stops blooming, let it rest by not watering for six weeks. When new growth appears, resume watering to keep soil fairly moist. While the Christmas cactus can adapt to low light, more blooms are produced on plants that have been exposed to high light intensity. Plants can be moved outdoors in summer, but keep them in a shady or semi shady location. Too much direct sun- light can burn the leaves. When it's time to bring the plants back inside in the fall, slowly adjust the plants to life indoors by gradually increasing the number of hours they spend indoors each day. A well tended cactus will reach unmanageable size in time. The Christmas Cactus is easily propagated by taking short Y-shaped cuttings of the stem tips. To root cuttings for new plants, cut back shoots frorn the tips, cut at the second joint of each tip. Place cuttings in a moist peat and per- lite, or peat and sand mixture. Water sparingly at first to prevent rotting of cuttings. After I\m,: or three weeks, -water as ytou \'.youlJ' any other cutting.- When cuttings are rooted, pot them in a very loose mixture of good potting soil. Christmas cactus are. easy to grow but are sometimes difficult to get to bloom. A medium light intensity and a soil high in organic matter are recom- mended. Do not allow the plant to dry out, water when the soil surface begins to feel dry. Cool temperatures or long nights are required to induce blooming. -Flowering is related to day-length and night time temperatures. The tem- perature range for flower bud devel- opment is between 55 and 60 degrees for a period of six weeks. As long as the temperatures-remain in this range they will develop buds regardless of day length. If the temperatures are above the required range, the plant will need 13 hours of uninterrupted darkness each night. One can accom- plish this by placing them in a com- pletely dark room, or by covering them for the recommended time, or longer, each night with a dark piece of cloth. For holiday blooms this usually means in late September to mid Octo- ber or simply keep the plants outside in the fall under natural light until buds develop. During flower bud formation, stop fertilizing and only water enough to keep the leaves from becoming shriv- eled. Once buds do form then you can keep the plant in normal light and temperatures. Keep it evenly moist and fertilize every other week with a mild fertilizer solution. Common causes of bud dropping are over watering, exposure to cold drafts, a position too close to a hot radiator or vent and lack of sufficient potash in the soil. Treat by watering sparingly and feeding a little liquid manure weekly. These plants never seem to go out of popularity in part because of their beautiful flowers. By giving your Christmas cactus the best environ- mental conditions of proper tempera- ture, adequate water, and good light, they will furnish an attractive display for a long time. These durable plants can live for a long time, up to 20 years. Gene McAvoy is the horticulture agent with the Hendry County Exten- sion Service. Direct your horticulture questions to PO Box 68, LaBelle, FL 33975, e-mail gmcavoy@mail.ifas.ufl.edu Are you dreaming of a 'right' Christmas? By Jackie Miller, Minister First Christian Church I have always enjoyed the Christ- mas song by Irving Berlin, "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas." A few years ago I attempted to write new lyrics to the song to make it a little more meaningful. It went like this: "I'm dreaming of a 'right' Christmas, just like the one so long ago. Where the angels sang, and shepherds came, wise men brought gifts and bowed down low." Yes, a "right" Christmas is much more desirable than a "white" one,. especially since we see so little snow down here in South Florida. Christmas means everything to the real Christian. It means that God loves him with all his heart. It means that God has regarded His heart. It means that God has regarded His lost condi- tion and has done something about it (John 3:16). It means that God has given the best Christmas gift that even God could give. "Thanks.be unto God for His unspeakable gift!" It means that His Saviour is born-born to set and example with His life born to die for His sins-born to be raised for His justification-born to ascend on high to make intercession for Him- born to give the hope of His coming again to gather all believers unto Him- self. Christmas means that He has" a companion in life, a-friend in the hour of death, and a loving brother for all eternity! Yes, Christmas means every- thing for the true Christian! What does a "right" Christmas include? First, it includes receiving Christ as Saviour and Lord. The inn- keeper had "no room" for the Saviour of the world. Do you have room? After his resurrection, Jesus said: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark.16:15- 16). The Apostle Paul wrote: "For as many as have been baptized into Christ, did put on Christ," (Gal. 3:27). So we receive this "unspeakable gift" by believing the gospel, repenting our .sins, confessing faith in Christ 'and being immersed in water for forgive- ness of sins and for salvation. Second, a "right" Christmas includes worship, the angels, shepherd, and wise men all worshipped Jesus. The early Chris- tians have set us an example as to what "right" worship is: "And they continued steadfastly in the Apostle's doctrine and fellowship and breaking of bread and prayers" (Acts 2:42). It also says they "were praising God, and having favor with all the peo- ple" (Acts 2:47). Each Sunday the Lord's church enjoys the.teaching of the Apostles (The New Testament), fellowship (giving), breaking of bread (The Lord's Supper), and prayers and praising God (singing). Paul urges us to "Not forsake the assembly" (Heb. 10:25). Third, a "right" Christmas includes the grace of giving. The wise men brought expensive gifts of "gold, franincense, and myrrh." The true Christian realizes that he is not his own but has been bought with a price and that he is to glorify god in His body and spirit which are God's (I Cor. 6:20). His time, talent, and treasure belongs to the Lord, to be used to his glory. Jesus taught us, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). What a thrill it is to discover that this in a great truth to live by! Fourth, a "right" Christmas includes the matter. of telling others about Jesus. The angel told the shepherds and the shep- herds, after they had visited the Christ- Child, "They made known abroad...This Child" (Luke 2:17). The greatest work in the world is telling others about Jesus and saving souls from hell and death. Jesus said "Go into all the world and prach the gospel to every creature, He that believeth and. is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:15-16). The early Christians when they were scattered by persecution "went everywhere preaching the word" (Acts 8:4). The highest priviledge one has is to "save a soul from death and hide a multitude of sins" (James 5:19). So, if you want to have a "right" Christmas, do these four things: 1. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour; 2. Worship Him in the way the Bible tells you; 3. Bring.your gifts to him; and 4.

Pure Stock, Late Models, Mini Mods, and Sprint Cars raced the' night away. The heat generated from the hot motors warmed the Fans in and around the stands as they watched their favorite local heroes blaze around the track. In the Pure Stock division Johnny Moseley No. 68 and Thomas Hill No. 1 fought back and forth for the lead position. Each driver trying to find the per- fect groove around the clay oval until they both tried to be in the- same spot at the same time. Finally, both racers ran into each other; metal bending and crunching as caution went out again. The Flagman had to make a difficult call. Who caused the collision? The Flagman's call was that it was Thomas Hill's No. I car, so it was sent to the back of the pack, leaving Mosley's No. 68 in the lead and to win the race. Jay Carver in No. 77 fought for second, with the No. 43 for third, and Conrad Molter came in fourth after climbing from thirteenth in the start. In. a surprise to the Hendry County Staff at the Winner's cir- cle, Johnny Moseley surrendered his Trophy and, prize money to Tommy Hill in an act of sheer sportsmanship. Mosley told track officials that it was a very tough call on the collision that sent Hill to the back of the pack, but Thomas Hill was the true winner. When Moseley was asked if it were for a points championship and $10,000 would he. have still surrendered the trophy he stated "yes." His mother brought this young man up right. This is the kind of dedi- cation and- professional games- manship we know we can only hope for here at the Track. Late Model action was a pure adrenalin rush as Justin Cho- quette No. 97 was on two wheels as his late model' fought gravity for a 1st place finish fol- lowed by Greg Crowe No. 89 and Richard Wheelihan No. 7. What a show! It was a tug a war all night with these guys. The crowd was pelted with clay as the 800 hp engines thundered around the Hendry County Speedway Saturday night. In the Mini Mod division Jack McClain No. 21 and Mike Budka (aka "Black Flag Billy") No. 64 fought it out in a tight race. The race finished with Jack McClain in first, Mike Budka second, and No. 35 in third. It was an exciting night and dangerous when the Sprint Cars Jesse Motes recalls early Belle Glade By MaryAnn Morris "As some people. know, my brother, David and I were the first twins born in Belle Glade. That was in 1921," said Jesse Motes. "Even so we weren't here for the storm of 1928. My dad, Rufus and my mom, Myrtie first came here by steamboat from Alabama up the canal from Ft Lauderdale. For years we went back and forth between Alaba- ma and Belle Glade for the farm- .ing seasons and we were back in Alabama when the storm hit.. Then we didn't come back to Belle Gladd that season. My uncle, his brother Levi, came here too. "My cousin, W.D. Motes, was here. His name was William, but everyone called him W.D. It's his house that's, in one of the Lawrence Will books (the other one' pictured belonged to the Eggleston family). It (the house) came to rest on the spoil bank of a canal after floating away off its foundation when the lake watdr rose up. There was W.D.'s family and one other and then they pulled in anyone who floated near enough. After the water went back down, they wrote to my dad in Alabama, that's how we knew. "We moved around a lot, my dad always looking for a place where he had steady work: we lived in Deland for a time where he worked citrus. We lived for a time in South Bay by the North New River Canal. Dad trapped raccoons and sold the hides. That was good money. Then we moved to Okeelanta by boat. That was the way to get here back then. There was just one store there in Okeelanta back then. I don't remember how old I was, but I remember that the counter of the store was just about at my eye level. "There were some bridges built by the time I was growing up. The last one I remember was in Canal Point. Where we lived was a draw bridge and the bridge tender liked us. When he needed to move the bridge, he would let us little kids put up the chains to stop the traffic, and crank the bridge around. Back then there were plenty of dredge boats on the water and lots of passenger and freight boats coming up the North New River Canal. That was the way people came here. Then the Great Depression hit and we came back in 1935 to stay. My dad built us a house here in Belle Glade by '36, so the three of us went to school here. Moving around as much as we did, we often didn't finish or started somewhere in the mid- dle of a term. We had an older brother, but we decided we all Local Links A directory of websites for local government, teams, organiza- tions & columnists. Community Links. Individual Voices.

I L-------_J Recollections A series about Florida's pioneers and history dazzled the audience with the high-pitched whine from the sprint cars. The fans cheered and than went silent when RC roper hit the wall in his sprint car at high speed. After some minor repairs, Roper's orange and blue Spirit of USA sprint car came back onto the track and dazzled the audience again with his high speed and expert maneuvers. This exhibition was truly AN spectacular. As the Night was closing on the track, Track officials received a call from Santa Claus. Some robbers had stolen Santa's bag of toys.. Santa had hopped into a racecar to chase them down and is expected to meet up with the thieves on Dec. 16 at the New Hendry County Speedway, which is located 3 miles south of Moore Haven on U.S. Highway 27 North. 7A O *AIkENC~l-') Ponds Ircst hoefo ~9) 11i.',ro .-(l Nr~ii I i -i-l.0 SExcELLEINT FOR, DI.' :I.

"When they decided to incor- porate the community, they' held a meeting to pick out a name for the town My dad went to'that meeting and he came home and told us, 'Some folks \\anted to name it Glades and some said, no, Belle-something, so they put the two names together' and came up with Belle Glade. "The first mayor was Walter Greer I.knew him 'een though I was only a teenager then. There were other Greers in town. Wal- ter Greer was a nice fellow.
