St. Lucie's plea to county


Glades officials
listen to public,
then speak out

By Nena Bolan
Glades CountN Democrat
MOORE HAVEN St. Lucie
County officials have voiced
opposition to the proposed
power plant in Glades County.
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

The Saint Joseph's church women's guild had a booth at the Christmas on the Caloosa-

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

[ions.
Pete Quasius, policy advocate
for Audobon, urged that the
study of emissions should contin-
ue before decisions are made.

A legitimate role for the press is that of "the public's watchdog." Most cit-
izens can't spend the time necessary to personally observe their public
officials at work, or to determine how well public institutions are carrying
out their public mission.

But too many newspapers these days act more like "mad dogs" than
"watchdogs."

We're proud to be different. We try to carry out our "watchdog" role as
humble representatives of the public, always maintaining a courteous
tone and our reputation for purposeful neutrality.

How are we doing?

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

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

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.

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

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.

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! I
Our students thank you for
your kind gift. It is greatly appreci-
ated.
Teachers,

A public thank you
DearEditor,
Every year Mr. Flint silently
supports our class parties and
field trips and we would like to
publicly thank him.

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.

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. For more infor-
mation, please visit the DOH

New greens for holiday gift-giving


By Dan Culbert'
JIF IFAS Extension
Horticulture Agent
Tired of the same old holiday
gilts? 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

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.
The county commissioners
meeting of Dec. 12 lasted three
and one-half hours

sliow. as you see in this photo-
graph. 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.

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.

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.

But God got justice in the right SEASON.
Clint left with a smile on his FACE.
God let me know he's in a better PLACE.
Clint was Clint with so much LOVE
Now he's sitting in Heaven ABOVE
God plucked a rose that was mighty SWEET
That's why God came and got this rose to KEEP
It ain't no sunshine when you're GONE.
But I know you got a better HOME.
Mom misses your phone CALLS.
But I know you're in Heaven standing TALL.
Clint is chilling, sitting high in the SKY.
So never say BYE.
Clint is in Heaven enjoying Jesus, looking from the SKY.
Clint doesn't have to try and make ends meet any MORE.
Because Jesus got his front and back DOOR.
So Clint words to you BE EASY. WALK EASY, TALK EASY.
Because Clint in Heaven taking it EASY.
REMEMBER
I will seek the good that is in people and leave the bad to God, who made man kind,
and knows how to round off the corners.

RELIGION 15


Christmas 2006- a symbol that is also the real gift


By Rev. 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.

The true story of a Christmas miracle "


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist
Church, Clewistonr
I firmly believe that God contin-
ues to %work in many wonderful
and mysterious ways in our lives
today. 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!
