A letter from the St. Lucie Board of County Commissioneis was sent to the commissioners of Glades County. It was received Dec. I and discussed during the board of county commissioners meeting of Dec. 12 The letter urges the board to reconsider its support for a coal- fired power plant to be built with- in the county. The letter was penned by Chris Craft. chairman of St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners and states, "The negative air quality effects of a plant of this type %\ill be tell by communities far outside your municipal boundaries." Mr. Craft also mentions the negative effects on his communi- ty due to the deliver. of coal by train traffic which, "could poten- tially block four major intersec- lions at one time." Further discussion of the pro- posed power plant was heard when nine citizens elected to speak at the hearing. Eight of the speakers voiced opinions against Holiday cheer: Christmas on the Caloosahatchee INI/Nena Bolan The Saint Joseph's church women's guild had a booth at the Christmas on the Caloosa- hatchee holiday event. The festival took place Dec. 14 at Perry Park in the old downtown section of Moore Haven. The Grinch was available for photos after he found the true meaning of Christmas. The Grinch's booth was a fund raiser for Moore Haven Elementary School at Christmas on the Caloosahatchee. -L I Children love the lighted snow globes and decorations at Christmas on the Caloosa- hatchee in Moore Haven. Third grade teachers have a booth in the background. a coal fired power plant, and one citizen from Ortona spoke in favor of the building of a power plant. Harris Friedman, doctor of psychology, mentioned the pre- existing mercury problem found in fish. Steven Brown, the environ- ment policy specialist for Conser- vancy for Southwest Florida, brought up the point that the largest coal-fired plant in Florida could have far reaching applica- [ions. Pete Quasius, policy advocate for Audobon, urged that the study of emissions should contin- ue before decisions are made. "\Ve don't need to be the receptacle of power plants that nobody else wants, said Ellen Peterson, resident of the Glades area.

Seven citizens spoke against the proposed rezoning a tract of land from mixed residential to residential general. The tract of land was zoned to have up to sixteen dwellings. The change would allow up to 28 dw ellings, or apartments. This land is located in the Glades Little Ranches and the proposed change was contest- ed by 14 Glades County resi- dents in a petition.

SClewiston News GrLADES COUNTY DEMOCRAT The Sun I Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, December 21, 2006 Thursday; December 21, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Family will have Christmas this year After a string of troubles, the family will receive help By ]deybis Gonzalez Clewiston News It.been a very difficult year for a Belle Glade family after a fami- ly's sole provider suffered two strokes and was hospitalized. The family had to worry about the basic necessities, with little regard to what Christmas would look like this year. Fortunately, an agency with a kind heart has stepped up to help the family for the holidays. The trouble began when Ruben Resendez suffered a Crime Stoppers The Palm Beach County Sher- iff's Office is seeking assistance from the public in locating the fol- Slowing "wanted fugitive." SCarlton Moore, age 31, is a black male with black hair with brown eyes. He is6feet, 3, inches tall and , weighs Approximately 175 pounds. He has a tattoo on "his chest. and scars on his right linger and hand. He is also known as Cariton ,Reginald Moore Moore and his last known address was Oak Court in South Bay. Moore is wanted on felony charges of driving while license -revoked. He is a habitual offend- _er, fleeing or attempting to elude marked patrol car. Anyone with information on the, whereabouts of Moore, is asked to contact the Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 1 - (800) 458.-TIPS (8477) or online at www crimestopperspbc.com. stroke at his job. On his way to the hospital, the father of seven suffered another one. The situation looked grim for the family. Mr. Resendez was in a coma for two weeks before being transferred to Glades Gen- eral Hospital from a hospital on the coast. On a visit to see her husband, Ms. Resendez was mugged. Her assaulters made away with her rent money. Ana Rivera,, Housing Special- ist/Hispanic Outreach Specialist with Hendry-Glades Behavioral Health Center learned about the family's situation and offered to help. The family was a perfect fit for the program's toys for tots event, she said. For the event, a business can elect to sponsor a family and buy Christmas gifts for the holidays. Why should a family that has been under so much worry have to cancel Christmas? "This is my third year partici- pating in the toys for tots," said Ms. Rivera. "Just the fact that I work for Hispanic Outreach makes me feel great, and know- ing that I am doing something for the community makes me feel even better," she added After a local business was unable to sponsor the family, Ms. Rivera continued looking for somebody who would. She remembered Marsha Carter, with Marsha's Helping Hands, an organization out of LaBelle. The non-profit agency itself survives on donations and contributions from the commu- nity, so it wasn't a surprise when Ms. Carter offered to sponsor the family. Because of that generosity, the family will now have a Christmas. The agency will pro- vide them with food, clothing and toys for all seven children. For Ms. Rivera, that means a lot. "It is unfortunate that this family is going through this situ- ation, I knew I had to do some- thing for the children, and I did, just in time for holidays," said Ms. Rivera.

Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan now complete Five-Year Update relying solely on the Florida Water Supply program, it mus e r aquifer for all our water needs" be listed in the plan. In 2005 Sen Identifies Alternative The inaugural Kissimmee ator Paula Dockery, R-Lakeland Supply Strategies With its goal of planning for Central Florida 's 2025 Water- Supply needs, The Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan was approved today by South Florida Water Management District Gov- erning Board "This document is our blue- print of howv we will meet the water-supply needs in the Kissimmee Basin of our children and our children's children," said Harkley Thornton, who rep- resents Central Florida on the Governing Board. "The water-supply needs of this region are too important to leave to chance. So this plan spells out what alternative water supplies will be developed by which utilities, and creates an outline for how this region will remain prosperous despite our pressing need to move beyond Basin Water Supply Plan, pub- lished in the spring of 2001, helped underscore the need in Central Florida to develop alter- native water supplies. It also called for improved science to better understand how the Flori- dan aquifer interacts with sur- face-water environments such as wetland systems, lakes and rivers. Once we understood the connection between ground and surface water, we could deter- mine how much water can be pumped to the ground while still ak oiding environmental harm.. Using the science developed since 2001, this five-year update of the Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan calls on utilities, working in cooperation with state and the South Florida Water Management District, to develop alternative water supply projects. In fact to ensure that a project is considered for funding under the District's Alternative pushed through the Florida Leg- islature a funding mechanism that provides a reoccurring fund of $100 million to help pay for Alternative Water Supply proj- ects. South Florida Water Man- agement District matches its $18 share of that fund to assist utili- ties within its 16-county jurisdic- tion. The Kissimmee Basin Water Supply Plan has identified as many as possible the projects that will be considered for fund- ing over the next several years. Copies of the plan and sup- porting documents are available at www.sfwmd.gov. Links to the four water supply Planning regions of South Florida Water Management District are listed on the right side of the District home page.

Pumps to be used to combat drought WEST PALM BEACH The governing board of the South Florida Water Management Dis- trict (SFWMD) has authorized tihe temporary installation of electric forward pumps to draw water from Lake Okeechobee in the et ent of prolonged drought condi- tions this dry season. Should they be required, the pumps will be installed by Lucas Marine Construction, LLC under a contract approved by the SFWMD governing boaid last week. The contractor will be mobilized quickly to upgrade and prepare the installation sites by no later than March 1, 2007, and will remain on standby for the remain- der of the 36-month contract should it be necessary to make the installations operational, accord- ing to SFWMD Governing Board Chair Kevin McCarty. District water managers con- currently reported that they will take delivery of 14 axial-flow,elec- tric forward pump assemblies, as well as one spare pump, to draw water from Lake Okeechobee in the event the lake's water level drops below 10.2 ft. NGVD, the le el at which gra\ill will. no longer direct the flow of water through existing structures. The SFRNMD received the first four of these pumps last week and has staged them at the Disrict's West Palm Beach field station. The temporary, submerged pumps are part of a proactive water shortage emergency plan to be implemented in the event of prolonged drought conditions, such as might result from this year's unusually low rainfall. The pumps would be able to lift water from the lake into existing District conveyance canals so that it can be utilized for emer- gency water supply. Each pump is capable of moving 100 cubic leet of water per second. "The South Florida Water Man- agement District is prepared for the possibility of a more severe water shortage this dry season, and we are sensitive to a drought's potential impact to local economies," said Carol Ann Wehle, executive director at the SFWMD. "We are committed to %working aggressitel. to meet the water demands of all lake area users, as well as the needs of regions to the south, including the Everglades National Park and Florida's East Coast." The three proposed sites for installation of the pumps are at existing control structures S-351, S-352 and S-354, all located in Palm Beach County along the southern rim of Lake Okee- chobee. These structures cur- rently provide gravity discharge of water from the lake to the Hillsboro/North New River, Palm Beach and Miami Canals respec- tively. In addition,, the SFWMD is aggressively exploring options for providing water to users north of the lake, as they also are affected by low lake levels. The pumps also will be used in accordance with the needs of the lake, including navigation, sustaining the District's stormwater treatment areas, fire fighting, and the management of coastal saltwvater intrusion. to n-a town pi n ni7- - ~Go to newszap.com to download and print coupons online! - in_ ^-o to. ^- -^ -^ vouw Chrlst g asm i Sunday Dec. 24th 7:00 PM First United Methodist Church 300 Avenue L. & Third St. Moore Haven, 'L- 33 '1 (863)-946-1457 The People of the United Methodist Church Open Hearts, Open Doors, Open Minds LUNA Aluminum Structures *Pool Enclosures *Carport & Screen Porches *Roof Over Systems *Vinyl Siding *Now Installing Aluminum Hurricane Panels Licensed *HC.333.SP Insured *HC.335SP 863-983-2701 Free Estimates Se Habla Espaiol Touching the Glades one family al a lime.

POWER PLANT CONCERNS: I am a resident of Glades County and have been for many years. I moved to this area to get away from the pol- lution in the cities. I understand the need for communities to enter into business that provide economic opportunities for the citizens. However, the proposed power plant that is to be put next to the lake is an act of greed that is so obvious I can't believe that the community doesn't rise up and revolt. I am speaking to the community now: If a fire was coming towards your house, you would put it out or call 911 so that someone would help you. The power plant is like a big fire coming but you just don't see it yet. Soon there will be black smoke and soot and chemicals spewing out into the air and into the water and ground. But by then, there will be no one to call to save you. You have to stand up now and say no to the politicians who are trying to convince you that you are safe. I went online to look up coal power plants and was shocked at what I saw. P.L said that they had a State-of-the-Art plan and that their plant is dean and safe. They are not telling the truth. Coal combustion produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are suspected to cause climatic warming, and it is a source of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, which are harmful to human health and may be largely responsible for acid rain. Coal combustion also contains naturally occurring radioactive materials-mainly, uranium and thorium. Americans living near coal burn- ing plants are exposed to higher doses of radiation and more. Please take a moment and see what you are in for. Do not close your eyes and pre- tend that this is not going to affect you, your family, your children, your parents or your friends. Concerned Glades County resident Letters to the Editor Serious consequences Dear Editor, As a resident of Glades County I am ashamed that our Commis- sion passed a resolution on Sept. 12, that will have serious conse- quences for this county and all of South Florida, for years to come without consent of the people. Instead of providing Public Notice and holding Public Hear- ings, Commissioners Giesler, Jones, Ward, Beck and Echols, in a covert action, decided they know what's best for all of us and approved a site for a proposed FP&L coal-burning power plant. Despite all the hoopla of being state-of-the-art, I believe this type of coal-burning plant will emit carbon dioxide, particulates and mercury into the atmosphere at unacceptable levels. I am not a chemist or scientist nor an energy expert but there's much scientific literature available on the internet about the controversy regarding "dirty" energy versus "clean" energy. FP&L has the opportunity to develop renewable energy sources and conservation; coal should be the last resort, not the first. It is the dirtiest source of power and single largest source of global-warming emissions. Many ecologists and environ- mentalists statewide have grave concerns about this future coal- burning plant that will be located so close to our precious Lake Okeechobee, Fisheating Creek, Big Cypress Preserve, the Caloosahatchee River and the Everglades. This concern is shared by the St. Lucie County Commission that wrote a letter in November to our commissioners warning them this type, of energy can produce negative air quality for surrounding counties. They stated that we, as a people, need to reject 18th Century technolo- gies and seek cleaner, safer ener- gy. In 2005, St. Lucie County Com- mission had turned down FP&L's proposal to site a plant in St. Lucie County so FP&L came to Glades County. It is very strange that FP&L spent eight months con- vincing our county officials to approve the plant here -while we knew nothing about this. There had been a vigorous hue and cry, and much information presented, from the residents in St. Lucie County when this issue was presented at Public Hearings there. Apparently, FP& L and the Glades County Commission did- n't want to be forced into demo- cratic Public Hearings here where an opposite point of view, backed up by science, might persuade us, the residents, to oppose approval ofthisplant . Glades County hopes to add a view of a toxin-spewing power plant to the scenic drive along pastoral Hwy. 78 already detract- ed by two prisons hugging the road frontage as well as the most recent eyesore a 194 acre con- struction debris landfill. How much longer are we as residents going to sit back and watch this county turn from being "Glorious- ly Natural, Glades County" to an industrial junkyard where our wildlife no longer abounds? Resident, Susan Etchey Thanks for the support Dear Editor, The classes of Mrs. Langdale, Mrs.. Pell, and Mrs. Pat Ringstaff would like to thank Clerk of Courts Joe Flint for his continued generosity, and support this Christmas Season and through- out the school year!

Two weeks ago the students at Moore Haven Elementary School took home a note explaining a new concept of giving at MHES. The students were asked to focus on others on the last twelve days before Christmas vacation. The stu- dents brought in canned goods for the first four days of giving. Because of the generosity of the students and staff, thirteen local families will benefit from the canned goods. On day five students were asked to bring in old cell phones that are to be recycled. The money from the recycling is used to purchase calling cards for troops over in Iraq to be able to call home. Three boxes full of cell phones have been mailed out to the organization called Cell Phones for Soldiers. The website is at www.cellphonesfor- soldiers.com. Day six and seven were also tar- geted at our military guys and gals who are serving for our great coun- try Students donated new batteries and various other items to make up care packages. The school was. able to make up 15 care packages and MHES would like to thank the following people who sponsored the postage for the soldiers! Thanks to Mike and Debbie Press- ley, Joe Flint, Gail Jones, the staff at the Tax Collector's office, Steve and Wanda Sergent, Wade Hingson, Katrina Fey, Glades Electric Coop, Dick and Jean Prowant, Susan Twitty, Tommy and Lesle Hare, Sylvia Goodwin, Tommy and Laura Perry, and Pamela Decker. On the eighth day of giving stu- dents were asked to bring in new sockslto donate to patients in area nursing homes. Students from Safe and Smart's after school program and Mrs. Hare's second grade made decorations to attach to the socks. Students brought new toys on the ninth day of giving. MHES's giv- ing helped make Christmas a little brighter for a few area families. Days ten, eleven and htelve focused on Box Tops for Educa- tion, Campbell's soup can UPC's, pop top pull tables for Ronald McDonald's House, and aluminum cans for recycling. The twelve days of Christmas "giving" have been a wonderful experience for the students and staff. It has been an awesome les- son for the students' in what it means to give to others. MHES hopes that this will become a tradi- tion at the school for years to come.

Police act quickly to make arrest By Ideybis Gonzalez Cle\ islon New\'s CLEWVISTON On Dec. 6 at approximately 8 p.m. \vhile cooking dinner at his hgmne,Sam. Walker was surprised to realize his truck was missing outside the home: r "Am I missingsomething?" he asked his wife, Luan, thinking she had maybe played a harm- less joke on him. Once-he found out it was no joke, Mr. Walker called the. Clewiston Police Department. What followed, the Walkers say, was a display of utter profes- sionalism. Officer Justin Spience took all the necessary informa- tion and alerted law enforce- ment agencies in the immediate area that the truck was missing. In only a few minutes,. A Hendry County Sheriff's Deputy, radioed the police department after sporting a vehicle on U.S. 27 that matched the description. SThe two law agencies joined in pursuing the suspect, who tried to flee through a back road after officers turned on their sirens. When-it seemed that the suspect might get away, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office intercepted the fugitive and used stop sticks to bring the vehicle to a full stop and arrest the driver of the stolen vehicle. So impressed were the Walk- ers with how quickly the lawv enforcement agencies acted to recover their truck that they offered to give the Clewiston Police Department Explorers $500 as a thank you gift. The gift represents thecou- ples' appreciation for the police department "for being on task and for their professionalism," said Ms. Walker.

EMB1-061414 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeec hobee Thursday, December 21, 9006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Residents reminded about toy safety for holidays TALLAHASSEE The Florida Department of Health (DOH) aiid the Safe Kids Florida Coali. lion remiind Florida residents and visitors to put safety first when purchasing toys and gifts for children during Ihe holiday season. Parents and caregivers can make sure they are choosing safe toys for their children by paying close attention to warn- ing label aid nidniufacturers' guideline "More than three billion toys and games are sold in :he United States every year," said DOH Sec- retary M. Rony Frangois, M.D., M.S.P.H., Ph.D. "If the manufac- turer sets a minimum age or, other restrictions, there is a wise reason. It is, therefore, impera- tive for both children and parents to carefully follow the instruc- tions." Nationwide, approximately 160.100' children per year ages 14 and under are treated in emer- gency rooms fT- toy-related injuries; nearly half of these chil- dren arc under age five., The Safe Kids Florida Cudli- tion recoinmfiids the following precautions: Use a small parts tester (avail- able in quantity from the Safe Kids Resource Catalog) or the cardboard tube from a roll of toi- let paper to identify choking haz- ards. Do not let small children play with anything that can fit into one of these cylinders. Inspect toys to make sure they are in good repair. Do not let young children play with toys that have straps, cords or strings longer than seven inches, due to the risk of strangulation. Supervise children playing with any toy that has small parts, moving parts, electrical or bat- tery power, cords, wheels or any other potentially risky compo- nent. Simply being in the same room as your child is not neces- sarily supervising. Active supervi- sion means keeping the child in sight and in reach as well as pro- viding undivided attention. Teach children to put toys away after playing to help pre- vent falls and unsupervised play. Also make sure that toys intend- ed for younger children are stored separately from those for older children. Toy chests should be equipped or retrofitted with safety hinges ltht prevent the lid from closing on a child who is leaning o\er the open chest; if a chest -does not have safety hinges, remove the lid. The Safe Kids Florida coalition works to prevent accidental childhood iniur\, the leading killer of children 14 and under. Safe Kids Florida is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedi- cated to presenting accidental injury. Safe Kids Florida's lead organization is the Florida Department of Health. DOH promotes and protects the health and safety of all peo- ple in Florida through the deliv- ery of quality public health serv- ices and the promotion of health care standards.

Scared ot gift cards and shop-I ping malls" \\'Want something more personal than cash" :Consider visit- ing a local nursery, florist or garden shop and give something green and gro\wii ig lor the holidays. Last week I visited the University ot Florida campus in Gainesville One of my slops was the horticul- ture greenhouses, filled with poin- seltias gown for the annual field day. I ry o visit this event each year to see \'hat's new and hot and took several photos for our county Extension home page. But Christmas is not just for trees and poinsettias. Besides "Big Red", other plants that were being evalualed by ULF 'wvee Cyclamen., a new version of an old favorite, Snowflake Euphorbia, a "weed" that's been dressed up for the holi- days. and an Australia import that looks like nothing I've ever seen before, Reindeer Paws. Poinsettias are big business How hig are holiday flower and plant sal's' I checked the latest fig- utes nrmm USDA, and found that more Poinsettias are sold than any other potted flowering plant. With 112 million US households in 2006 spending $49 million on flowers and decorative plants, it's not sometl ing to ignore. How much of this is comes from the old red favorite? During the holidays, the average US home- owner spends about $3.50 on pot- ted plants. While orchid sales are gaining, poinsettias account for about $2.50 of those sales. If you want some tips on Poin- settia care, we can help you out. I'd like to point out a couple of tips that can help select that perfect poinsettias: Look at the yellow center flower bud to determine fresh- ness: For the longest lasting deco- ration, choose a plant that does not show yellow pollen, and be sure that it shows no evidence of molding or rotting. High quality plants will have un-broken stems and lolt of green leaves. Abused plants have been exposed to temperature extremes or drafty conditions that shorten the shelf life of poinsettias. New Crops for the Holidays The field day was not just for Poinsettias. UF Professor Dr. Jim Barrett also included a few other plants in his evaluations. This gave growers and consumers a chance to take a look at new and novel plants that can diversify the holiday plant pallet. Here are the new ones from this year's field day: Cyclamen: This old-time holi- day plant provides a long-lasting splash of color to long winter nights in your home. Imagine a red, pink or white flowery pinwheel growing above a Lightly clumped dark green Rezone Continued From Page 1 problems, and the possible crimi- nal activities of apartment ten- ants. Larry- Hilton, community development director, presented the staff report and recommenda- tion of the Glades County Plan- ning and Zoning Board. The report states, "It is unlikely that the proposed change could detri- mentally impact any nearby resi- dential property. The develop- ment proposals would only have a marginal affect on traffic consid- ering its highway location." County Attorney Richard Pringle reminded the .commis- leaved plant, then you can picture a pretty Cyclamen. They are a bit uncommon in garden center and more expensive than Poinsettias. It takes two years to grow full-sized Cyclamen from seed to their winter flowering splendor. While Northern garden- ers may coax several years out of a Cyclamen, growing conditions in the home are not ideal for this Mediterranean beauty in our Flori- da Yards. Enjoy them, and then send it north with a snowbird. The new addition on display at the UF Trials was "Super Series Compact Wine Red Cyclamen." This variety from Holland has lots of deep w-ine-red colored flowers with variegated foliage. Plants bloom a lot and last a long time, with flowers that do not fade. Plants stac\ compdti even unclip hot conditions, which makes bet- lei for indoor use. FloraStar, an organization that tests and pro- motes new container grown uorl d- mentals, has awarded this cycla- men cullivdr a Gold Star! sioners that their decision on rezoning should consider factual evidence only. He added that the decision is about land use, and not on other issues such as traffic, roads or drainage. Those issues can be discussed at a later date with the developer and residents. The ordinance amendment to rezone the tract of land in Glades Little Ranches was approved by the board of commissioners. In other business, County Attorney Pringle initiated the reor- ganization of the board, which becomes necessary after an elec- tion. The board re-elected Butch Jones as chairman, and Paul Beck was elected vice chairman.

A simple red bow and a clus- tet of Christmas bells saved of course froni:, ear to year.l and that's all there is to it. You might say, this is the s reath that's a Florida tradition. A similar \Tealh can be made frnm boughs rof cedar. It does take a bit more i"doing" but it's a mighty piettn' wreatl-i that not only looks like Christmas, its spicy fragrance is the essence of the day itself. Short. pliable boughs are best to use and they're easier to work with if they're soaked a few hours in warm water. And naturally you'll need a good many more pieces of w\ire to attach the short boughs to the wire ring. You'll probably be surprised at some remarks you'll hear about your own 'original' wreath when friends and neighbors discover what you've made how easy it was to make how beautiful it is, and how much it did not cost. Luckey Continued From Page 1 Elijah, 9, all of whom enjoy the great outdoors, especially when the family goes camping. It would have been easy for Stella to take a passive role in starting a new school since she is raising three children, but she did- n't do that. She started a new library, a new library program and her art- work made that library unique to West Glades School. She is an integral part of the technology acquisition plan and assists in installing new technology and teaching teachers how to use it. She produces the morning show every day. She writes and receives grants that are not just for the media program. The entre school benefits from the money she acquires. She is also the planner and implementer of Accelerated Reading celebrations, Children's Book Week, Family reading Night and other programs that benefit all students If this weren't enough, Mrs. Luckey is also trained and gifted in painting and drawing. One of her most outstanding art accomplishments is a mural on the library wall at West Glades It is a painting of a panther, the school mascot, in a mammoth oak tree. The work is approxi- mately five feet high and twelv.'e feet long. Letter Continued From Page 1 ious to see and which does not occur anywhere else. "They are going to destroy us and our way of life," Ms. Peterson said. Wally Prescott, of Save Our Creeks, read a letter that was sent' to Glades County commissioners and some newspaper editors. It was written by J. William Louda, an environmental chem- istry professor of Florida Atlantic University. Mr. Louda said in his letter, "Look beyond the almighty dollar and do what is right - reverse your decision on this plant. There are many viable and likely as lucrative alternatives." Most of the speakers at the public hearing left before the end of the county meeting. They left before county commissioners gave their comments in support of the proposed power plant. K.S. "Butch" Jones, chairman of the board, explained his stand on the board's decision to accept FPL's offer to build a power plant. He mentioned that he believed the environmental impact is negli- gible. He said, "If anyone thinks I would sacrifice Glades County environment's health for 21 mil- lion, you have been badly mistak- en. The heritage that has been passed on to me is to be good stewards of our land, and I con- sider that to be a priority today." Mr. Jones said that the east and west coast of Florida are upset that the Glades Power Park may have negative effects on their counties, yet they want Glades county to accept their county's garbage and prisoners; and they want the Glades area to store watet for them in case of drought, flooding the Glades to'keep their own estuaries from flooding. Butch Jones also said, "I have to consider the poverty that exists in this county, which is tremen- dous." He further said that the salaries in the coastal counties are two or three times higher than what is found locally, and that the jobs generated by the power plant will be triple what the average annual income is. Hugo Geistman, an Ortona resident, openly voiced his respect for environmentalists and what they do. However, when he spoke at the public hearing he was also critical of their priorities. "One thing that keeps coming to my mind is, where are you all when all these cane fields get burned?" asked Mr. Geistman. "How come you're not out there? Where were you when all the ler- tilizers got into the river? "There are a lot bigger prob- lems out there with the environ- ment than the power plant. I feel that the power plant is going to pollute less than the sugar cane that it is going to replace," he said.

Samuel S. Thomas, Ph.D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston Nothing changes a household like the coming of a baby. Life is turned upside down and things are never the same again. The sports car gives way to the van; new furniture arrives and extra space is found; neat living rooms are now in disarray with diaper bags, cradles and carriers; kitchens are now filled with baby bottles and jars of baby food; pets are no longer the center of atten- tion that they once were; hours that seemed filled before now have a new focus of constant attention to every detail, every movement, every sound. The new center of attention brings with him or her, a kind of joy that has been unknown; a new "glad tiding" and a new\ revelation to share with etern one imaginable The event is certainly a sacred one in each household no matter how many times it is repeated or how manr times it turns life upside down once more. Hardships may come, but they take a back seat when com- pared to the joy that comes with the newborn. Details are to be shared and J. " everyone wel- ...i comes the newcomer -- . and shares the ."'-' ' joy known by the new par- ents. It is by I --'. , this means that the Savior of the world Samuel S. chose to enter Thomas our lives. His parents are forced to makeshift accommodations for the blessed event; a stable will have to do because there is no room at the inn. The trip takes the couple away from family and friends and was a hurried one, required by an alien government and their census, so loved ones will hae to await being told. The stable will be cold in the Mideast in December but there will be ani- mals that will give off warmth. There will be visiting strangers who will realize the sacredness of the birth and the very special sacredness of the infant they have come to adore. Like those before and ever since, they will leave gifts as a sign of their recog- nition of this special occasion. The parents will see their son born into a dangerous world; they will have to flee to Egypt to protect Him from a tyrant king. It is of no consequence; there is a new focus in their lives and they will gladly do whatever is needed to protect the infant. God chose this means to come into our world at Christ- mas. He has shared with us what it means to be human, we share with Him the joy of sending a Son. As our children turn our lies upside down when they come and give us a new sense of joy that was not known before; the coming of Jesus has also, turned our lives upside down, and given a sense oli joy never known before or since. The world will not be rid of dangers or fear; the baby Jesus came into a scary and dangerous world, too. Through the love He radiat- ed, though, both human and divine, He came to overcome it from the moment of His birth. In spite of it all, as our children can bring a sense of joy and peace, so the coming of the Savior causes the angels and all who hear them to proclaim "Peace- on Earth, Good Will To Men." With the birth of each child comes a new hope for the w world; with the birth of the Lord, that hope is kindled forever in the hearts of those who' have Him and know Him. The birth ot the Savior in human form, in human ways, with all of the joys and hopes that births bring into families, is truly a won- derful symbol for "the birth" that is celebrated at Christmas each year. The world w\as turned upside down by this birth and "the people that have walked in darkness have seen a great light i'saiah 9 2, Matthew -l:161." \Ve have that light to guide us always, and it began with the miracle that we celebrate at Christmas; a miracle God gives us in our human families and has chosen as the sign of the great miracle of the birth of His Son- Christmas. May you all have a happy and joyous Christmas, a blessed season, and may the light shine in all of our hearts as we welcome once more the birth of that special child. MARK LEWIS CONSTRUCTION, P.L.

Some may call them coincidences, but my faith sees God's hand in many of these coinci- dences, which I . call, 'Godsi- dences.' Fol- loving is one John such Christmas Hicks Godsidence s story that touched my heart I hope it touches)ours as well The Near was 1948. Just two days before Christmas, a storm swept through the aiea, dumping more rain than the old rool of the church could stand A leak devel- oped and the plaster just behind the altar soaked up the w% after as if it were a sponge and then crumbled. leaving a gaping hole in the wall. Dejected, the pastor looked at the hole in the \\all. There was obviousKl no chance to repair the damage beloie Chris-tmas. Nearly three months of hard work had been washed aw a.. It was a depressed minister and his wile who attended a benefit auction for the church youth group that afternoon. One of the items put up for bid was an old gold and ivory colored lace tablecloth. Seized with inspiration, the pastor w\as high bidder at $6..50. His idea \\as to hang the cloth behind the altar to cover the hole in the w all. On the da, before Christmas, the wind picked up and the tern- perature dioppedo As the pastor unlocked the church doors, he noticed a woman standing at the nearby bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn't be there for at least half an hour, so he invited her in to keep warm. She had been in the area to interview for a Iob as governess, out her English wasn't good and she had been turned down for the job Sitting in the back of the church, the \\oman looked up and sawl the cloth the pastor was hanging behind the altar. Rushing forixard, she exclaimed, "It's mine! It's my banquet cloth!" Excitedly, she told the surprised minister its history% and e\en showed him her initials embroidered in one corner. She and her husband had lived in \ ien- na, and had escaped the Nazis before the Second world d \\ai The\ decided to flee to Switzer- land. She left first, and later heard that he had died in a concentration camp Touched b\ her story, the minis- ter insisted she take the cloth. She thought about it a moment and said to leave it hanging. She didn't need it any longer. After the Christmas Ee service, one older gentleman lingered, admiring the tablecloth As he left he said. tell'ss strange Many %ears ago m' wife. God rest her soul, and I owned such a tablecloth. But we lived in \ienna then." The night air w\as freezing, but the goose bumps raised on the pastor's skin weren't caused b\ the weather. As calmly as he could, he told the man about the \woman who had been in church that morning With hopeful tears streaming down his cheeks, the man asked how\ he might find her. Remembering the name of the farnily \\ ho, had interviewed the \woman, the pastor telephoned the tamilK and learned the woman's name and address. In the pastor's old car he and the man drove to her home on the othei side of town. Togeihier they knocked on her apartment door. When she opened the door, the pastor wit- nessed the tearful, jo ful. and excit- ed reunion oi husband and wife Separated loi more than a decade, believing each other dead, they % ere reunited. Some people would call it an extremely luckN chance happen- ing, but I believe God's hand was in the rain, the roof leaking, the auc- tion, the tablecloth at the auction, the woman looking for a lob and standing on that corner at just the tght time, and with the man rnak- ing a comment to the minister after seeing the tablecloth. I also believe God's hand is in our lives today if w e have e es to see and hearts to embrace. That's \ hat the miracle of Christmras is all about!
