911 system requires input


Surveys important
tool to gather data
By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN The 911
coordinator, Terr Helfinstine,
reminds all Glades County resi-
dents about the surveys that
were hand-delivered to busi-
nesses and homes last spring
and summer.
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

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.

MOORE HAVEN The
Glades County Community
Safety Team met on Dec. 7.
The team is sponsored by
Florida's Department of Trans-

teams of locally based traffic
safety advocates who work to
make local roads safer for
motorists, pedestrians and bike
riders.
Glades County Sheriff's
Office Deputy Jim Hill reported
that 408 traffic citations were
issued in the month of Novem-
ber. He reminded the team that

On Friday, Dec. 8, the GCSO conducted a traffic check-
point in west Glades County on Crescent Acres Avenue.
Glades County Sheriff; Stuart Whiddon and other law
enforcement officers were checking for proper identifica-
tion, vehicle registration and other violations.


Florida Highway Patrol troopers
from the Venice area will be on
call to assist the Glades County
Sheriff's Office whenever it is
necessary.
Deputy Hill also mentioned
that Citizens On Patrol are now
active in rural communities.
They are volunteers who are
given the use of unmarked vehi-
cles, radios and phones. They
do not enforce the law; howev-
er, they make observations and
call in suspicious activity.
Local residents at the meet-
ing mentioned that ATVs and
golf carts are sometimes seen
on roadways. Sometimes ATV
drivers allow children to ride as
passengers when the vehicle is
clearly designed for one driver.
Deputy Jim Hill noted that

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.

boat had a throttle mishap and

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

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.
Hope that answers your
question Jose. Take Care!!

It is now time to get your flu shot


TALLAHASSEE In prepara-
tion for the 2006-2007 flu season,
Florida Department of Health
(DOH) officials urge Floridians,
especially those 50 years of age and
older, to make an appointment
with their primary health care
provider to receive a flu vaccine.
"The best protection against the
flu is to get vaccinated every year. I
strongly encourage Florida resi-
dents to call their doctor to schedule
a flu shot," said DOH Secretary M.
Rony Frangois, M.D., M.S.P.H, Ph.D.
"Getting vaccinated not only helps
protect you from getting sick with
the flu but it also helps to protect
others. Flu does not peak in Florida
until late February. Flu vaccine will
be available now through the first of
the year. Check with your physician
as to when he or she suggests you
come in foryour flu shot."
In addition, the Hendry County
Health Department is holding a
special flu shot clinic on Friday,
December 15 from 8:00 a.m. to
11:00 a.m at their location at 1140
Pratt Boulevard in LaBelle and on


"The best protection against the flu is to get vacci-
nated every year. I strongly encourage Florida res-
idents to call their doctor to schedule a flu shot."
M. Rony Francois, M.D., M.S.P.H, Ph.D.,
DOH Secretary


Wednesday, December 20 from
1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at their loca-
tion at 1100 South Olympia in
Clewiston. The cost of the flu vac-
cine is $25 or it can be billed to
Medicare if cards are presented at
the time of service.
Annual influenza Vaccination is
now recommended for the follow-
ing groups:
Persons at high risk for
influenza-related complications
and severe disease, including
children aged 6-59 months
pregnant women
persons over 50 years old
persons of any age with cer-
lain chronic medical conditions
Persons who live with or care
for persons at high risk, including


household contacts who have
frequent contacts with persons at
high risk and who can transmit
influenza to those persons at high
risk
Health-care workers
Since prevention is the key to
reduce the probability of contract-

Florida joins National Handwashing Week


Last week, Florida celebrated
National Handwashing Awareness
Week.
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

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. If someone in the family has
a cold, that person should be
assigned a particular towel to use,
to-avoid spreading gems to other
farnilN members In public rest-


room, the paper towels are safer
than a using hot air blower. Germs
can orowi inside the hot all blower
and \when you lurn it on [those
oermsa e blown onto your hands

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

Hollywood.
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.

Christmas Palms, please email us at

A non-traditional tree
A Christmas palm is a stocky, single-trunked palm with
stiffly arched, six-foot-long, bright green fronds is noted
for the fall and winter appearance of the very showy clus-
ters of glossy, bright red fruits which hang below the
leaves at the base of the crown shaft. Reaching 25 feet in
height, though often much smaller, Christmas Palm
makes a very neat appearance in the landscape.

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.

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.

tragedy can be averted by educat-
ing pedestrians about the cross-
walk at Sixth Street.

Christmas and something nobody likes waiting!


By Rev. 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

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.

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.

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. Tell others the sweet,
old story of Jesus and His love. have a
"right" Christmas this year!

Racing provides excitement at Hendry Speedway


HENDRY COUNTY The
weather was cool, but the cars
were hot last Saturday, Dec. 10, at
the New Hendry County Speed-
way. 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

high-pitched whine from the

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.

As the Night was closing on
