Christmas decoration winners


City council awards
prize money
at meeting

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN Taking its
cue that Christmas is here.
Moore Haven did something
special for the folks \ ho decked
out their homes in holiday
cheer.
Prize money wvas awarded to
Christmas decoration winners
at the city council meeting on
Dec. 19. There were two cate-
gories this year. One was for
residences and the second %was


for businesses.
The city-wide contest really
brightened up the hometown
this year. In the past, the contest
was only for residences but this
year a category for businesses
was added. This increased the
spirit of competition and many
tedious and crafty man hours
were spent on original decora-
lions.
Contestants made classic
Santa themes or traditional
nativity scenes. TheN used
strands of lights and wooden
cutouts that are painted or
stained. Some used inflatable
characters and globes.

There were three winners in the resident category for the city's Christmas decoration con-
test. Marvin Brown, left, accepts second place award for his wife Patricia; and Frances
Bryant accepts her third place award. First place winner, Alvora Chilous, was not present
at the city council meeting of Dec. 19.

Community toy


give-away Dec. 22


GCSO sponsors
donations to children

By Nena Bolan
Glades County Democrat
MOORE HAVEN The Doyle
Conner Building was the scene of
a community toy give-away spon-
sored by the Glades County Sher-
iff's Office.
A few days before Christmas,
the event showed off just how
spirited the sheriff's office can be.
There was no shortage of charity
and goodwill at last week's event.
On Dec. 22, toys were donat-
ed to children from 3 p.m. to 6
p.m. with the sheriff's office


reporting a successful event.
Recently, Sheriff Stuart Whid-
don's office received many gifts
and cash donations totaling
approximately $4,000 from local
contributors and other partners.
Six hundred pairs of children's.
shoes were also given to the Sher-
iff's give-away program and went
to many deserving children and
families throughout the Glades
County area.
Many officers assisted with the
program, and several GCSO
employees went shopping to get
toys for various age groups.
Sheriff Whiddon and the
entire Glades County Sheriff's
Office are very grateful for all
donations and thank their con-
tributors this holiday season.

SFWMD adopts army platoons for Christmas


The Okeechobee Service
Center of the South Florida
Water Management District
(SFWMD) has been keeping the
local post office extremely busy
these last few weeks. During a
staff mei'"tinn, in October, several
non-profit organizations were
nominated for the offices' annu-
al holiday gilt drive.
Allison Murphy, a Staff Regu-
lation Professional with the Dis
trict for more than 6 years, head-
ed the recipient search. An
mverwhdlming majority of the


staff decided to support soldiers
overseas. After research on the
internet, Murphy found a web-
site that clearly lists items our
service men and women are
requesting.
Two platoons were located
with soldiers from. Florida. A
Medical Company stationed in
Afghanistan has six men, one
being from Fort Walton Beach
and seven females. The other pla-
toon stationed in Iraq has six
males, one being from
Gainesville.


Through word of mouth, Dis-
trict staff, Audubon of Florida,
local businesses, 4-H groups and
community members have
donated enough items to fill over
40 boxes packed with goodies.
The packages have included den-
tal hygiene products from local
dentist Dr. Wright, telephone call-
ing cards, skin-care products,
snack foods from 4-H clubs and
holiday cards from area school
children in Okeechobee and Vero
Beach. "I was very happy about
the outpouring of support from-


the community during the holi-
days," said Benita Whalen, Okee-
chobee Service Center Director.
Generous cash donations
have been made to allow for
additional telephone calling
cards to be purchased as well as
covering any unmet needs. or
expenses. Okeechobee's very
own Melissa Ritter donated nine-
teen compact discs of her original
recordings, one for each soldier.
Every female and male soldier
received their own personal-care
box that included essential living

Wh\ do we have to wait till
Christmas to be nice to one
another? Are we just too busy to
help cach other out at other
times of the year, or is it just not
in our vision? When we are too
bus\ we don't sec Ithe needs. We
are walking in that fog that we
call our live O. Our attention is
focused only on what we see
within that immediate vicinity
This is when we arc. having to
race to put out fires that are tak-
ing over our homes and our
schedules. No wonder \we can't
see the needs of others; those
raging infernos are about to
devour e erything around you.
Several years ago I was just
like you! My % hole da\ consisted
of going ftom one fire to the next
and sometimes lumping right
out the trying pan into the fire. Ili
is so hard to get out of thiF
chaotic mess. We don't know
hrio to put out all the fires at
once. This is %-hat we think we
have to do. But it is not what
works.
We have been surviving onf a
steady flow of adrenalin pump-
ing through our bodies. This
adrenalin has been our drug of
choice. \Ve don't kno,\ how to
function unless x\\e ale racing to
put out yet another fire. If some-
how \\e did manage to extin-
guish all the fires at once we
would not know what do to with
ourselves.
This is wvny I preach taking
BabySteps! BabySteps work'
One little habit %:ill help you to
eliminate a potential fire starter.
As you build your simple little
habits into a routine; you are
going to be so surprised that
your stress level has decreased
and you don't seem to be in that
tizzy all the time anymore. It
doesn't happen all at once. Our
bodies would rebel if we quit,
our adrenalin junkie habit cold
turkey. Establishing one habit at
a time slowly decreases our
dependency on that drug of
choice.
I never dreamed that I could
function without being stressed
out. I took great pride in working
better under pressure. Boy was I
wrong! As I look back now, I can
see that most of what I did was
thrown together and not done
with any planning. You could say
I was flying by the seat of my
pants. I don't have to live this


way any longer.
My routines keep me sane. I
am not walking in a fog and I
can see clearly what needs to be
done. I can also see someone
else's needs It is such a joy to be
able to Play It Forward at a
moment's notice. It brings a
smile to my face and puts a song
of love in my heart for my fellow
man.
s At this time of year being nice
is brought to our attention. We
watch the holiday movies on tel-
evision and hear about random
acts of kindness. Last week in
Indiana at a Starbucks drive thru
window, 140 people paid for the
person behind them in line. This
went on for three hours. Jusl
yesterday my friend, Eric Dodge
told me about a song he was
working on as a gift, for the
troops. His lead guitarist, Jim
Sevy wrote a song to lift the spir-
its of our troops and their fami-
lies. Eric recorded it and put it as
a free download on his website,
wwwv.EricDodge.com. The song
is called "I Pledge". All they
wanted to do was brighten the
day ofp oe soldier Today Eric got
an email from a soldier thanking
him for the song. It made his
day.
What have you done toda. to
brighten someone's day? How
have you used your talents to
bless the world? If you say, "I
don't have time!" Then look at
the fires that you are constantly
fighting. These fires are keeping
you locked in chaos. Simple rou-
tines will open up your schedule
for the good things of life!

were his reason for living.
He is preceded in death by his
father, Donald H. Mohney; his
mother, Hulda P. Mohney; his
brother, Donald V Mohney and his
sister, Mary L. Adams.


He is survived by his two loving

Caloosahatchee needs

fresh lake water


WEST PALM BEACH The
South Florida Water Management
District SFWMD) will request that
the Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
make an environmental release of
freshwater from Lake Okeechobee
to the Caloosahatchee River and
Estuary amid concerns over saltwa-
ter intrusion and the health of the
Upper Caloosahatchee Estuary.
The proposed low-volume
releases are scheduled to take place
over the next 30 days. This influx of
additional freshwater is expected to
help reduce salinity levels and pro-
tect tape grass in the upper estuary.
Current salinity levels at the Ft.
Myers Yacht Basin have exceeded
the monthly average target of 10
parts per thousand (ppt) estab-
lished by minimum flows and lev-
els guidelines, which were devel-
oped to protect tape grass
upstream of Fort Myers
A minimum flow and level for
the Caloosahatchee River was
adopted by the SFWMD in 2001
identifying the point at which signif-
icant harm to the estuary ecosys-
tem would occur due to increased
salinities. A recovery strategy to
achieve the minimum flow and
level identifies the Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration Plan
(CERP) projects, such as the C-43
reservoir, as the future primary
source of freshwater for the estu-
ary. It is recognized, however, that
prior to implementation of these
CERP projects the minimum flow
and level would be violated on a
periodic basis during dry periods. In
the short term, the SFWMD will on
a monthly basis consider the need
for providing freshwater from Lake
Okeechobee while balancing the
needs of all of the various water
users and natural systems that
depend on the lake for water.
Tape grass is submerged aquat-
ic vegetation that provides food and
habitat for numerous organisms
including finfish, crabs and shell-
fish. Acting in the same capacity as
downstream seagrass in its func-
tion and importance, tape grass
also can provide numerous water
quality' and water clarity benefits
because it absorbs nutrients and
reduces suspended solids in the
water, particularly near shore.
Water managers routinely monitor
tape grass because it is a key indica-
tor of water quality and the overall
health of the upper estuary.
"The South Florida Water Man-
agement District is sensitive to
water supply issues as well as to the
biological requirements of the local
plant life, and .we believe these,
releases are the best option to pro-.


tect the tape grass upstream, where
we find the most coverage," said
Alice J. Carlson, member of the
SFWMD governing board. "When
water is available, the District
makes releases from Lake Okee-
chobee to meet the demands of the
environment. Given the current
water shortage in the Lake Okee-
chobee Service Area, this is no easy
decision; however, we believe the
proposed plan appropriately bal-
ances both our water supply needs
and the needs of the estuary."
The SFWMD will conduct
enhanced sampling and monitor-
ing along the Caloosahatchee River
and Estuary to track salinity and
water quality improvements associ-
ated with these releases over the
next month.
The release schedule would be
modified according to new data as
it is received. The Lake releases.
would be reduced or ceased if
basin rainfall runoff occurs and
exceeds recommended lake releas-
es. At the end of the 30 days. District
water managers and the District
governing board will evaluate the
monitoring information and the
prevailing water availability condi-
tions to determine the need for any
further action.
As of December 11, 2006, the 30
day moving average salinity along
the Caloosahatchee River at the Fort
Myers Yacht Basin was 15 ppt. Tape
grass stops growing and begins to
define when salinity persists above
10 ppt.
No significant discharge from
the Franklin Lock and Dam (S-79)
structure has taken place since Oct
4, 2006, and the current release
plan accounts for anticipated rain
events that may influence salinity
levels and water quality over the
next 30 days. The proposed releas-
es from the Lake would be in such
low volumes that water managers
project no significant water quality
change at the mouth of the
Caloosahatchee Estuar, (Shell
Point), rather only within the mid to
upper estuary. Ho% ever, the District
can not predict water quality
changes due to increased S-79
inflows related to possible rainfall
runoff during the next month.
An additional benefit anticipated
from these releases is lower chlo-
ride levels near intakes for the Lee
County Water Treatment Plant,
located just upstream of the S-79
structure. Water managers antici-
pate the releases will reduce chlo-
rides or at minimum keep them,
from climbing to an undesirable'

for power lines


JUNO BEACH Florida
Power & Light Company (FPL)
announced it has chosen a pre-
ferred corridor for new trans-
mission lines to carry electricity
generated by the proposed FPL
Glades Power Park (FGPP), an
advanced technology coal
power plant. FGPP is needed to
meet the growing demand for
electricity by FPL customers
throughout Florida.
"Consideration of local
interests was an integral part of
the evaluation process. After
careful evaluation that included
community input, we have
selected a path that appropri-
ately balances land use, envi-
ronmental, engineering and
economic concerns," said
Grover Whidden, area external
affairs manager for FPL.
FPL will build the transmis-
sion lines to connect the FGPP
to the proposed Hendry Sub-
station in northern Hendry
County, and from there to the
electrical grid in southern
Hendry County. The preferred
corridor generally takes the fol-
lowing path from the site of the
FPL Glades Power Park
(approximately 5 miles north-
west of Moore Haven):
Exits the FGPP site just
west of center along the south-
ern boundary
Due south at a width of
0.5 mile for approximately two
and a half miles to US Highway
27;
West at a width of 0.25
mile along US Highway 27 for
less than a mile to SR 78;
Southwest along SR 78 at
a width of 0.25 mile for approx-
imately two miles south ol US
Highway 27;
South at a general width
of 0.5 mile along existing
canals, property lines, and an
existing power line for approxi-
mately two miles and expand-
ing to 4,500 feet wide when
crossing and on the south side
of the Caloosahatchee River;
East at a width of 4,000
feet paralleling SR 80 and
southeast at a width of 0.5 mile
south of Lake Hicpochee for
approximately six miles to a
point two miles west of US
Highway 27- : ,'
South at a width of 0.5


mile along property lines for
approximately five miles expand-
ing to a width of one mile just
north of the existing FPL 230 kilo-
volt (kV) and 138 kV right-of-way
(ROW);
East for approximately three
miles at a width of 5,000 feet
straddling this existing FPL ROW
and reducing to 1,500 feet wide
for six and a half miles to include
the FPL ROW and land to the
north (at some point along this
segment the Hendry Substation
will be located);
South at a width of one mile
along a cross country alignment
centered on section lines;
South at width of 0.5 mile
along the east side of CR 835 for
approximately ten miles:
South at a width of one mile
wide centered on CR 835 for
approximately two miles;
South at a width of 0.5 mile
along the east side of CR835 con-
tinuing straight onto the existing
FPL 500 kV line ROW
A color version of this map is
available on our web site at
www.FPL.com'gladespower.
In determining the preferred
corridor for the 500 kV transmis-
sion lines, FPL studied objective
data collected during several
months and from meetings with
local government and state agen-
cies, as well as community-pro-
vided information that included:
Responses to phone surveys
of approximately 600 residents in
Glades and Hendry counties.
Open house events, in
Moore Haven, Clewiston, and
LaBelle, attended by more than
200 community members where
comment cards %were collected
from attendees.
e E-mail and telephone com-
munications
Meetings with property own-
ers
Feedback from community
presentations
As a result, the preferred corri-
dor was chosen because:
It is collocated, in part, with
existing transmission lines.
e It has relatively few homes
adjacent to the new lines.
It avoids schools and school
sites.
It crosses the Caloosahatch-
ee RiKer at an existing electric util-


The preferred corridor for the new transmission lines general-
ly takes the following path from the site of the FPL Glades
Power Park (approximately 5 miles northwest of Moore Haven)


ity crossing.
It avoids large area of envi-
ronmentally sensitive lands.
The line can be built along
this route for a reasonable cost.
As part of the application for
the FPL Glades Power Park, FPL
has applied to the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP)
through the Power Plant Siting Act
for certification of a corridor of
variable width generally following
the path identified. The corridor
will be wider than the final ROW
to provide for flexibility for FPL to
work with the property owners
along the route. Before it can be
built the line must be approved by
Florida's Governor and Cabinet as
part of the overall FPL Glades
Power Park project. The plant will
be an advanced technology coal
power plant with a capacity to
generate 1,960 megawatts of elec-
tricity. That's enough power to
serve 650,000 Florida homes.

the project or contacting FPL can

Groups oppose huge coal


plant near Everglades


TALLAHASSEE Florida
Power & Light (FPL) filed their
permit application with the Flori-
da Department of Environmental
* Protection's Siting Coordination
Office today seeking approval for
construction of a huge coal-fired
power plant near Lake Okee-
chobee and the Everglades. In
response, clean energy and envi-
ronmental advocates joined
forces to send a clear message to
-FPL and Florida decision makers
that the proposal will be met
with stiff opposition.
"It makes absolutely no sense
for FPL to put a huge coal burn-
ing plant on the border of the
Everglades while the state
spends billions of dollars to pro-
tect this national treasure," Dr.
Stephen Smith, executive direc-
tor of the Southern Alliance for
Clean Energy, said. "This coal
burning plant will be a major
source of mercury, a heavy
metal toxin, as well as global
warming pollution, causing seri-
ous problems for the Ever-
glades."
Today, FPL filed the paper-
work that will begin the approval
process for a 1,960 mega-watt
coal-powvered facility to be locat-
ed five miles north of Moore
Haven, in Glades County.
"This is the wrong power
plant, in the wrong place, at the
wrong time. To build a coal-fired
power plant that will spew toxic
mercury, smog, soot and global
warming pollutants on the edge
of the Everglades and the
world's largest ecosystem
restoration project without first
looking to meet Florida's energy
needs with energy efficiency
programs, is a dirty and danger-
ous proposition, and should be
rejected by the Governor and
Cabinet," Holly Binris, field
director with Environment Flori-
da, said.
In November 2005 local
homeowners in St. Lucie County
teamed up with clean energy
advocates to hand FPL an.
unprecedented five to zero
defeat before the St. Lucie Coun-
ty Commission on their proposal
to build a similar power plant in
that county. The expected
increase in mercury and global
warming pollution, FPL's failure
to consider cleaner alternatives
like energy efficiency and coal
gasification, along with a rejec-
tion of the heavy-handed tactics
used by FPL to pressure local cit-
izens were all given as reasons
for the unanimous vote.
FPL has now moved the pro-
posal inland to Glades County,
which has a population of
approximately 11,000 and
increased the size of the facility


but is still unwilling to consider
cleaner technologies.
According to the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency,
"The Everglades and other south
Florida ecosystems already are
stressed by the pressures of
human development. Global
warming will add additional
.stresses, such as higher water
levels, increased salinity, and
warmer water temperatures."
The proposed FPL facility will
be one of the United States'
largest new sources of carbon
dioxide, sending over 13 million
tons of carbon dioxide (C021
into the air annually.
"Knowing all we know about
the impacts of CO02 emissions,
building a coal plant without
regard for carbon capture is a
giant step in the wrong direc-
tion," Susan Glickman, Natural
Resources Defense Council's
Florida consultant, said. "The cit-
izens of Florida deserve a better
option than dirty coal and global
warming."
Signaling what appears to be
a bias toward coal generation,
FPL sought and received an
exemption from the Florida Pub-
lic Service Commission (PSC)
for the requirement to seek alter-
native plans on how to meet the
energy demand through an open
request for proposals (RFPs)
process. FPL must file a "need
determination" before May 1,
2007 or the PSC could revoke the
wavier to the RFP requirement. .
Advocates continue to raise
the issue that FPL supports
regressive policies made by the
PSC that if removed would allow
stronger conservation and effi-
ciency measures to be imple-
mented, thereby decreasing the
demand for more electrical gen-
eration. For example the "RIM
Test" screens out valuable ener-
gy efficiency programs if they
lessen profits for FPL.
"Fishing and hunting are part
of life for tolks in Glades County
and across the region. Impacts
from: mercury and climate
change on game and fish are
well documented and will only
be exacerbated by this power
plant," Ann Vanek-Dasovitch of
the Florida Wildlife Federation
board of directors said. "What's
worse is that local folks don't get
the electricity although they will
have to deal with the direct
impacts to their health, loss of
their way of life and close con-
nection to the land."
Advocates. plan to ask the
incoming governor to review the
state policy on building coal
plants and to seek ways to
increase energy efficiency and
cleaner alternatives.

'Setting the record straight' on the power plant


By Tracy Whirls
Executive Director
Glades County Economic
Development Council
Much has been made of the
manner in which the FPL Glades
Power Park site approval
announcement was made, with
various environmentalists decrying
the lack of publicity surrounding
the Sept. 12, Glades County Board
of County Commissioners meeting
when the site submission was
announced and the BOCC passed a
resolution in support of the project.
As someone who assisted FPL
consultants in gathering input on
the project, I can say that dozens of
City, county and school officials as
well as many community and busi-
ness leaders were briefed before
the project was announced to
determine the level of local sup-
port. The vast majority of those
briefed expressed overwhelming
support for the project then and
continue to believe now, that the
proposed FPL Glades Power Park is
the best thing that's happened in


the county's history.
So all of the righteous indigna--
tion expressed by a handful of envi-
ronmentalists decrying the lack of
public input as they try to stir up
opposition to the project strikes us
as self-aggrandizing.
As someone who attended the
Sept. 12, BOCC meeting when the
Commission approved their resolu-
tion in support of the project, I can
tell you that the majority of folks in
that room knew about the
announcement before hand,
although the applause that broke
out when the resolution was
approved was spontaneous.
I can also tell you that in exit
polling of people who attended the
Open Houses concerning the proj-
ect in Moore Haven, Clewiston and
LaBelle, roughly 80 percent of
those attending support the proj-
ect; perhaps 15 percent had con-
cerns, and those who were con-
cerned were concerned about the
proposed site of transmission lines
needed to transport power from
the site to the statewide grid, not
about the plant itself.
Given the degree of support for


the project, most Glades County
residents had adopted the attitude
that the project was fait accompli.
This silent majority has believed
that they could comfortably sit
back as long as Glades County offi-
cials remain firm in their support of
the project, as long as FPL remains
committed to the proposed site, as
long as various state officials
reviewing the project continue to
push for "dean coal" technology as
a means of diversifying Florida's
pow er supply and as long as those
agencies reviewing the project rec-
ognize that the project's advanced
technology (which exceeds state
and EPA standards for controlling
emissions) is a giant step forward.
In the race to provide power to the
second fastest growing state in the
nation, the silent majority waits for
the process to be completed, confi-
dent that ground breaking on the
Glades Power Park would begin on
schedule in 2008.
And so they've watched the
hand wringing in a bemused sort of
wvay, as the folks who've stepped
out to protest the project turn out to
be the very people least informed


about it. /
And then we began to notice a
trend. The only people getting
much ink are the opponents to the
project. And so it becomes time to
set the record straight.
I would venture to say that less
than five percent of the population
of Glades and Hendry Cbunty
opposes the project, despite efforts
by the Sierra Club and others to
drum up local opposition. ILalso
think that opposition to the plant
will decrease as more folks learn
the facts about the project, which
conservatively is expected to gener-
ate 30 percent less emissions than
EPA standards and is in no way
comparable to the outmoded coal-
fired plants portrayed in the propa-
ganda piece Kilowvatt Ours oppo-
nents ,are using to stir up
opposition.
Now that the transmission line
route has been announced and the
site permit application has been
submitted to the Department of
Environmental Protection, I hope
that those who genuinely are con-
cerned about the project will take
the time to learn the facts.


Letters to the Editor


Power park
'spin' questioned
The FPL Glades Power Park res-
olution was added to the agenda of
the Glades County Board of County
Commissioners of 9 12 06 at the
lime of the meeting and introduced
as follows according to the min-
utes of that meeting: "Chairman
Jones reported that Mr. Taylor or'
Mr. Hilton was going to make a siz-
able announcement at this time "
Nobody but those present for
other reasons were able to com-
ment. I assume there was a good
reason for rushing it that Tuesday
morning, perhaps they just got the
news? But %wait, also from the min-
utes: "Chairman Jones commend-
ed Mr. Hilton and Mr. Taylor for
keeping the Board apprised of this
for the last several months."
Oh, and, "Commissioner
Giesler stated that it has been hard
to keep their mouths shut the past
eight months but after today he is
going out and start hollering. He
stated he appreciates everything
Mr. Hilton and Mr. Taylor did. Com-
missioner Giesler told Florida
Power & Light that he ,%'as sure
they would get whatever they
needed from Glades County."


Doesn't the area around Lake 0)
(already an ecotourism destina-
tion, part of the headwaters of the
Everglades, midway between the
Brighton and Big Cypress Seminole
Indian Reservations, and populat-
ed with impoverished, disenfran-
chised people whose children
already spend much of the sugar
burning season in the asthma clin-
ics) deserve the chance to learn the
true story and make decisions
accordingly?
Attending FPL sales pitches is
not enough; the spin has been
developed by Wragg & Casas, an
expensive Public Relations firm,
and is full of blurry graphs that
even Grover W\\hidden was unable
to clarify for me at the Cle%%iston
Chamber meeting.
The Commissioners insist that
we skeptics wait until the permit
applications are in before we make
any judgments about the potential
harm, yet they seemed able to
make a decision with large region-
al impacts without it. How smart
Butch Jones, Paul Beck, Russell
Echols, Alvin Ward and Bob Geisler
must be!

Some of the eighth grade winners taking the top prizes included, (from left to right) Rebec-
ca Fletcher, Larisa Rivera and Paul Luckey who received the top prize for his winning inven-
tion creating a working model of a hand that can grasp things at a distance.


Seventh grader, Kelsey Corwin (left) along with fifth graders, Josh Rimes and Cynthia Fred-
erick took top honors for their scientific creativity.


West Glades hosts its first Science Fair


MUSE On Dec. 7, West
Glades School had its first ever
Science Fair. There were over 70
projects in the science and inven-
tion categories and it was a huge
success. The projects are still on
display for viewing in the new
middle school. The hosts for fair
were science instructors Tom
Gaskins Ill and Sandy Yerk; judg-
ing the event were the Honorable
Joe Flint (Glades County Clerk of
Court), Dr. Susan Cooper of
LaBelle High School, Sonny Mow-
bray (wildlife biologist) and the
following teachers and staff who
volunteered: Doreen Backes,
Debra Davis, Cara Austin, Vicki


McDougald, Donna Brittain and
Susan Prow ant.
The five top projects were cre-
ated by eighth graders Rebecca
Fletcher, daughter of Jennifer and
Shawn Fletcher, Larisa Rivera,
daughter of Marisa and Eliud
Rivera, seventh grader Kelsey
Cowin, daughter of Don and Paul
Cowin, and fifth graders Josh
Rimes, son of Sabrina and Josh
Rimes and Cynthia Frederick,
daughter of Brandy Hill and \Willie
Avery. The winning invention was
created by Paul Luckey, son of
Stella and Larry Luckev, II.
Rebecca was working with the
carbonation from soda and how it


can'can't fill up a balloon. Rebec-
ca's project was titled Bubbles,
Fizzles and Gas.
Kelsey was working in micro-
biology, finding out how different
molds would grow, her work was
supervised and her growthh" was
only allowed to grow within a
sealed Petri dish. Her project was
titled "does the 5 second rule real-
I work?"
Cyndi was working with buoy-
ancy, she created various sized
boats to see how the different
shapes and sizes affect their abili-
ty to float. She measured their
buoyancy with the number of
coins the boats would hold.


Josh was %working with rock-
ets. He wanted to know if differ-
ent masses can affect their flight.
His father works as a firefighter
with the Port Authority at the
Southwest Florida International
Airport and he has an interest in
flight.
Larisa was working with petu-
nias She was looking at phototro-
pism and how light vs. dark
affects their growth rates and
flowering abilities.
Paul came up %with his idea
because his house keeps gellting
overrun with snakes and the
entire family is terrified of them
He created a working model of a


hand that can grasp things at a
distance, this wa, no one would
have to get anywhere near the
snakes to remove them.
All students are residents of
Muse All of the top projects and
their researchers creators will be
moving on to the Thomas Alha
Edison Regional Science & Inven-
lion Fair this coming spring. The
Regional Fair and State Fair this
year are both being hosted in Fort
Myers.
A big thanks goes to all of
those who participated and those
hard working souls that put this
together and helped judge the
event.

The specially designed rotary

standard mowers, but will need
fewer maintenance repairs and

Since renovation funds are

Thursday, December 28, 2006 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee


Make healthy lifestyle resolutions you can keep


As the New Year approaches,
'many people follow the tradition
,of making New Year's resolu-
tions. The most popular resolu-
'tions for Americans are to lose
-weight and to exercise more.
Very few people are able to
follow through with the resolu-
tions because they try "fad" diets
in the hope of losing weight
'quickly. There are many prob-
4ems with fad diets. They often
are not nutritionally balanced, so
;it is not healthy to stay on them
,for very long. Some are so
restrictive that dieters just can't
'stick with it. Fad diets most often
.fail because even if the dieter
Joses weight, as soon as he or
'she goes back to his or her nor-
mrnal eating habits, the weight
:comes back.
To lose \\ eight and keep it off,
some health. lifestyle changes
,are necessary Some easy ones:
- Walk Promise yourself that
you \\ill walk at least a mile

every day. Find a route that you
can measure, some place ihat
will be pleasant to walk and con-
venient. Pick a time of day that
will work best for you, and try to
make it a regular habit. Walking
is a great form of exercise
because you don't need any spe-
cial equipment. You don't have
to join a gym. Just put one foot
in front of the other and keep
going. After you have mastered
walking a mile a day without get-
ting tired, try to go a little farther.
You might find it easier to walk


regularly if you have a walking
buddy to remind you. Taking a
dog for a nice long walk is a
good way to get regular exercise,
and to make your dog happy at
the same time.
Drink water. Get a sports
bottle and fill it with water in the
morning and sip on it all day.
That is an easy way to keep track
of how much water you drink.
Ideally, most adults need eight
glasses (64 ounces) of water a
day. Well intentioned people
often try to drink eight ounces at
a time, and that makes them feel
too full. If the water is in easy
reach, you may find it is an easy
habit to take a sip every now and
then. You might be surprised at
how much you can drink during
a day.
Eat a healthy breakfast. Peo-
ple who want to lose weight
often make a big mistake by skip-
ping meals. Skipping meals just

Every person is different. A diet
that worked for your friend may
not be right for you. Your doctor
should know your health history
and what prescriptions drugs
you are taking before recom-
mending a diet plan. Just
because someone else's doctor
prescribed a certain diet for that
person, this does not mean the
same diet is safe for you. Some
extreme diets are administered
under a doctor's care because a
person is dangerously obese and
must lose weight to reduce the
strain on his heart. That same
diet might be fatal for a person
who tries it without a doctor's
supervision.
Before making any changes
to your diet or exercise program,
consultyour doctor. This is espe-
cially important if you are on any
prescription medications. Some
drugs interact badly with foods
that would otherwise be consid-
ered "healthy."


'Drop Red Gorgeous' winter strawberries in season


As Florida's strawberry season
n moves into full production. shop-
pers throughout North Amnerica are
brightening their cold \\inter das
with this delicious and colorful
treat from the Sunshine State.
The Flornda Strat bern Growers
Association is teaming up w ith gro-
cers to promote the state's signa-
ture berr\ through its new "Drop
Red Gorgeous" campaign that
embodies the idea that "\ou are

retailers are featuring fresh Florida
strawberries and the eye-catching

marketing campaign touts the

berries, which are low in calories
and free of sodiun-m and fat, and

ease ligriting antioxidants.
"The strawberr\ is America's
mo.:'st p.opulai ber-rv." Florida Agri-
culture Commiissioncei Charles H.
Bronson said "People know it's
delicious, tbu the good news is it is


also one of our most nutritious
food choices."
Plant City, is the "Winter Stra -
berry Capital of the World," and
from December through February,
Florida strawberries dominate the
Li S market. Florida is the nation's
second largest producer of straw-
berries, with eastern Hillsborough
County the center of Florida's straw-
berry production. Substantial com-
rnercial acreage can also be found
in Alachua, Pasco, and Polk coun-
ties. Florida's strawberry farmers
receive about $129 million in cash
receipts annually for their harvest.
Wal-Mart is promoting Florida
strawberries in conjunction with its
"Salute to America's Farmers," a
year-long program to spotlight the
retailer's commitment to purchase
from localgrowers for distribution
to stores in their areas in support of
locally grown agricultural products.
Commissioner Bronson offered the
following strawberry buying tips
for shoppers:
Look for strawberries that are
fully and deeply red. Be sure the
color has spread from one end of


the berry to the other. Don't choose
a berry with white or green spots in
hopes it %%ill ripen up on your win-
dowsill; straw% berries stop ripening
as soon as they are picked.
If you can touch the berries,
check to see that they are firm
but not hard. The calyx, the
strawberry's leafy cap, should
be fresh and green.
Don't wash strawberries until
you are ready to eat them. Refriger-
ate strawberries if you're not going
to eat them within a day or two.
"There's no reason to wait for a
special occasion to add Florida
strawberries to your shopping list,"
Mr. Bronson said. "This winter,
take advantage of the abundance
of fresh berries by including them
in everything from desserts and
breakfast treats, to snacks and
savory dishes."

Investigation continues into horse virus outbreak


TALLAHASSEE Florida
Agriculture and Consumer Ser-
vices Commissioner Charles H.
Bronson says the Department's
Division of Animal Industry is
continuing the investigation into
the presence of Equine Her-
pesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) in sever-
al areas of the state including
Wellington, Jupiter and the Ocala
area. EHV-1 can be a serious dis-
ease of horses and the virus can
spread through the air .from the
respiratory route of affected hors-
es. Transmission can also occur
through contaminated equip-
ment, clothing and hands. There
is no record of a human health
threat from the virus.
So far, seven horses have tested
positive for the virus through lab
tests.
All confirmed cases are under
quarantine.
Here is a chronology of events:
Five horses imported from
Europe were brought to Florida
from the New York animal import
station, a quarantine station for
imported horses; three more hors-
es were picked up en route in
Huntington, N.Y, and one in Dar-
lington; Maryland. When the truck
arrived on Nov. 29, in Wellington,
one of the horses from the import
station was ill.
That horse is now recovering.


but two horses that were stabled
with the index horse at the origi-
nal facility became ill and died. A
lab test on one of those horses
confirmed EHV-1. The facility, JN
and Company, is currently under
state quarantine and the horses
are being closely monitored. No
horses are allowed to enter or
leave the premises.
The Maryland horse had been
transported to another Wellington
location, Southfields Training facili-
ty and died on December 2. While
no lab test was done, because of its
exposure to the disease, the South-
fields facility voluntarily restricted
all movement of horses. Late
today, a lab test confirmed a posi-
tive case within that facility at the
Palm Beach
Equine Sports Complex, which
is part of the Southfields Training
facility. There is a second suspect
case there awaiting lab test confir-
mation. The Department is also
placing this facility under quaran-
-tine.
A horse that was exposed to the
virus during the shipment into
Florida was treated at the Palm
Beach Equine Clinic and is
believed to have been a possible
link to the horse in Ocala, which
was at the clinic at the same time.
The Ocala horse has tested positive
for EHV-I and was transported to

Ocala on Dec. 11. The horse was ill
when it arrived and was immedi-
ately isolated from all other horses
at the Ocala location, Tuxedo
Farms. The horse continues to be
isolated and a portion of that facility
is also under quarantine.
The Palm Beach Equine Clinic
indicated it. is contacting the own-
ers of all horses that were there at
the same time as the index horse to
make them aware of the situation
and find out if any of the horses are
exhibiting any signs of EHV-1. So
far the Department has received no:
reports of any other horses that
were at the clinic showing disease
signs.
A horse at Pinehurst Stables, in
Jupiter, has also been reported
with neurological symptoms of the
disease and a sample has been
submitted for a lab test.
The Division of Animal Industry
is %working closely with veterinari-
ans and equine facilities in :the
impacted locations to monitor the
animals and assist with testing.
Owners with sick horses should
contact their private veterinarian to
examine and treat their horses.
Veterinarians suspecting EHV-l
with neurological signs are advised
to contact state officials and follow
protocols for collecting and sub-
mitting appropriate samples for
laboratory diagnosis.


Horse owners in the impacted
areas are being asked to follow
biosecurity measures until the virus
is controlled.
The measures are:
Have temperatures taken a
minimum of twice daily, with a
temperature log being maintained
on each horse. Horses with fevers
101.9,or 1 degree above their nor-
mal temperature should be report-
ed to the stable's veterinarian. The
horse should be isolated and EHV-
1 samples should be taken by the
stableveterinarian.
Limiting admittance of people
into the barn area to only neces-
sary personnel. When entering or
exiting a stable or barn, use foot
baths to disinfect outer footwear
and wash hands.
Washing hands with soap
and water or using a dry disinfec-
tant after handling each horse.
Minimize the use of shared
equipment. Equipment such as
water buckets, lead ropes, groom-
ing equipment, etc., should not be
shared between horses. These
items should be labeled as belong-
ing to an individual horse. Other
equipment such as twitches, shov-
els, forks and bits should be disin-
fected daily and between each use.
Care should be taken when
tilling water buckets and feed
troughs.


Danger of wildfires


worsens today


TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bron-
son is asking people to be very
careful with all outdoor fires this
holiday season.
Florida has received below-
normal amounts of precipitation
through the fall months, and the
freezing temperatures in the
northern part of the state have left
much of our wildlands vulnerable
to wildfire," Mr. Bronson said
"The fieeze-diied vegetation will
only add to the already accumulat-
ed debris that is still scattered
across Florida from the 2004 and
2005 hurricane seasons."
Relative humidity below 35 per-
cent, lack of rainfall for two weeks
or longer, and strong, dry winds are
all components that create extreme
fire danger.
"Any fire that starts during these
weatherr conditions could get out of
control and spread quickly," said
Mr. Bronson, who encourages the
public to follow these tips:
Report any suspicious fire by
calling911.
Never leave any fire unat-
tended.
Clear an area down to bare
soil around campfires and warm-
ing fires.
Do not burn yard waste dur-
ing dry, windy conditions.
Keep your home safe from
fires by clearing leaves from the
roof and gutters and by removing
dead vegetation within 30 feet of
your home.
It is also important to trim trees

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?

Fierce hurricanes are in our blood, our history


Edited by MaryAnn Morris
For those readers who come
down for the winter, you may
think the attitude of long-time
Florida residents toward hurri-
canes is due to recent events, but,
not so. The hurricane indoctrina-
tion began generations ago -
before air-conditioning, power
boats or mosquito repellant.
Thanks to the late Twila Valen-
tine, INI Florida has transcripts of
interviews with the senior citizens
of the 1980s who were part of the
pioneer days in the Lake Okee-
chobee area.
For those readers who know
well the old stories and the new
theories, here is one story- again.
Wilburn Lawson talked to Twila
about that storm.
"I was in Okeechobee. I was
working in the Peoples Bank of
Okeechobee at the time. The hurri-
cane was terrible. -
Just to go back, the hurricane of
1926 blew all the water away from
Okeechobee and to Moore Haven
and it was covered in water.
"In the '28 hurricane it blew all
the water all over Okeechobee,
South Bay, Belle Glade and every-.
thing on this side of the lake and it
was terrible. The water came up as
far as the city limits of Okeechobee.
(Just about where Southwest
Twenty-First Street is now.) It blew
houses off the lake and people
were washed so far away and it
took months and months to find
them. I went down with some
friends right after the hurricane and
there was nothing left standing any-
where except for one concrete
block building in Belle Glade."
Here is a story Twila took
down in an interview on Septem-.
ber 18, 1988, sixty years after that
terrible storm.
"Olive and Robert Tombs Light-
sey were the parents of 12 children,
six boys and sL\ girls. They had lived

Submitted graphic
The areas around Lake Okeechobee damaged by the savage
hurricane of 1928 are shown on this map. The Lightseys of
Okeechobee lived at the top of the lake on the western edge
of Eagle Bay. The towns at the south side of the lake were
nearly wiped off the map., /


only a short time in the home
Robert had built for his large family
on the western edge of Eagle Bay. In
1928, Eagle Bay extended along
most of the distance from just west
of the Lakeshore curve to about a
mile east of the Kissimmee River.
The new Lighlsey home w\as locat-


ed on a ridge at the edge of Eagle
Bay a mile or so east of the Kissim-
mee Ri er. Also residing in the same
area were the families of James and
Monroe Lightse). The storm of 1928
altered all their lives fore\ er.
Olive Lightsey was 91 yeais old
when she was interviewed in 1982.


The terror and horrible memories
of these few hours was still vivid in
her mind even then.
"It had been bad all day, but not
as bad as it was going to be. Just
thunder and lightning. It was at
night and my husband had build a
little house we could put the veg-
etables and canned goods in.
'We finally saw that we were
going to have to leave it (the main
house). The storm was getting so
strong and we knew the wind was
going to blow it away. And we
made for that little house that he
had built out there. I had a son and
he was just about three weeks old. I
had him in my arms. I come
through the house, grabbing what I
could save and I grabbed a sheet
off the bed and wrapped him up
and went on out to this barn.'
Twila said that in an interview
with Mary Lightsey Veasey she
recalled that the baby was born
about July 25th of that year, which
would have made him about six
weeks old at the time of the
storm, not three weeks old as
Mrs. Lightsey said.
"We got out there and we went
in E\ ery one of the children was in
except one of them and she got in
later. There \\'as stairs and a lot of
the children got up there. It w\as just
raining and pouring and mn son,
De\\ard climbed up in a tree and
spent most of the night there and
he survived
Apparently, at some point, the
building turned ovei and Mary,
who was only si.\ years old at the
time, recalls that her Uncle
James put her and her sister,
Opal, up on a stove and the
water came up on them. She is
not sure how high, but it might
ha\ e been waist high on tht mr
"It %\as dark when we went in
and iit \as still dark -, hen \\e came
out. Just as w\e came out of that lit-
tle old house, there was a big tree
standing iight outside close to the


door. And it fell down. We all sat on
that log the best we could. I had my
little baby and I had him in my
arms all the time we were sitting on
that log. I had to hold him up high
to keep the waves from washing
him from out of my arms, of
course, the rain wasn't as bad as it
had been, but wind was still going
and the water was high. This was
after the worst part was over. My
daughter, Adell, was holding my
husband's brother's baby who was
about three months old, it was cry-
ing and we had a time. It got so
rough she dropped it and we lost it.


The waster was deep and it just
swept everything back. It was an
awful night and I hope there is
never another one."
"Then it finally slacked down
and my husband and his brother,
James got into a boat and paddled
over to where my sisters lived. He
came back in another boat and
picked the rest of us and we spend
the rest of the night at their house."
So, Floridians have different
feelings about summer storms. A
biggish storm never comes, but
someone doesn't say, "Do you
remember the storm that..."

Fire rescue volunteers promote home fire safety


,By Nina G. Wills
On Saturday, Dec. 9, the local
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue
Volunteers of the western division
distributed smoke detectors and
talked with local residents about
fire safety.
Eight volunteer firefigitlis of
the western division went to Lake
Breeze Trailer Park, near Rardin
Park and made house visits r... the
ninet~ -f,:uir trailers
The ,':olunimer firefighters were
also accompanied by two Sheriff
Explorers who acted as Spanish
translators.

The Fire: Deparltrerit receives
the grant money to purchase
smoke detectors which are
installed in lo-minco:re housing
and the homes of the elderly.
"We like to take one reighbor-
hood at a time and blitz it. In three
to four hours, our volunteers can
cover the entire area," said Battal-
ion Chief Kevin Rattey, chief of
Palm Beach County's. Volunteer
Fire Department
Alberta Davis and Pamela
Collins were busy decorating their
home with Christmas lights when
volunteers Brandon Langenwalter
and Gilbert DeLeon stopped by.


RB.C. Fire Rescue volunteers, Brandon Langenwalter (left)
and Gilbert DeLeon (right) install a new smoke detector in
Alberta Davis" home Saturday, Dec. 9.


They eagerly allowed the vol-
unteers to enter their home and'
ieplac'.: lh-i, old smoke detec-
l,:is The pr ocedure took less
than five minutes.
Alberta Davis said, "It is really
nice that they are stopping by tb
check on us. It shows that people
really do care, I now feel safer in
mI h,:,rne."
Volunteers also showed resi-
dents how to replace the batteries


and reminded them ':,rio ltit the
smoke detector ,riii alter tip.lacing
the batteries.
The holiday season is an impor-
tant time of year to remind local
residents about fire safety., Too
often, residents leave ':,i jning ca.n-
dles and space heaters unattended
and a fire starts.
If there are no properly func-
tioning smoke detectors in a
home, lives are put in jeopardy:


RB.C. Fire Rescue volunteers, Joseph Sampson (left) and
Brandon Langenwalter (right) gather more supplies and
smoke detectors to install in local homes Dec. 9.
The smoke detector installation 500 units are distributed and
program is done throughout install-ideachyear.
Palm Beach County and 400 to This program makes citizens


aware of the dangers of smoke
inhalation and educates citizens on
fire safety. Chief Rattey believes that
this' program allows the Fire
Department to go on the offensive
to prevent future fires.
"It's a shame that people do not
realize that these five dollar smoke
detectors can save a life," said Chief
Rattey. "Most often people die from
the toxic fumes of a fire and the
superheated air entering the lungs.,
If we can save just one life by dis-
tributing these smoke detectors, it
is worth it."
The Palm Beach County Fire
Rescue Department would also like
to install special smoke detectors
for the hearing impaired here in the
western area.
These smoke detectors contain
strobe lights and louder alarms and
cost about one-hundred dollars per
unit. These particular detectors are
not included in'the federal grant,
The Fire Department purchases
them from private donations.
If you are interested in making a
contribution to the purchasing of
these special smoke detectors or
would like more information
regarding the smoke detector
installation program, please con-
tact the Palm Beach County Fire
Rescue Department at (561) 616-

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
South Shore Water Association, Inc.
Has Levels of Haloacetlc Acids and Trihalomethanes
Above Drinking Water Standards
Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this Is not an
emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you
should do, and what we are doing to correct thi situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants, Testing re-
sults we received for the last tour quarters show that our system exceeds the stan-
dard or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for Haloacetic Acids (HAAS's). The
current running annual average HAA5 Concentration is 64.46 micrograms per Iter.
Rule 62-550, Florida Administrative Code, Identifies the MCL for HAA5s as 60.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing re-
sults we received for the last four quarters show that our system exceeds the stan-
dard or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for Trihalomethanes (THMs). The
current running annual average THMS Concentration is 105.15 micrograms per liter.
Rule 62-550, Florida Administrative Code, Identifies the MCL for THM as 80.
What should I do?
You do not need to use and alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, If you
have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
Whet does this mean?
This is not an immediate risk. if it had been, you would have been notified immedi-
ately. Some people who drink water containing haloaceic acids (HAA5) and Triha-
lomethanes (THM) in excess of the MCL over many years may have an Increased
risk of cancer. Recent research results suggest a possible connection between high
levels of HAA5s and pregnancy problems. Therefore, women of childbearing age
may wish to seek alteative water sources.
What happened? What Is being done?
We purchase our water from te Clewstion Water Treatment Plant; their results are
in compliance with the rule. Their current annual running average s 22.10. In April,
2006 our laboratory analysis measured our HAA5s at 285.90 and the Clewiston Wa-
ter Treatent Plant results were 28.6 sampled just four days after South Shore Wa-
ter Association. Our current result for fourth quarter taken November 10, 2006 Is
15.8 HAA5 and 31.85 THMs.
South Shore Water Association feels that the high results recorded in April, 2006 is
an abnormality and is not founded by our previous results or our current test results.
Due to the high result recorded In April, 2006, South Shore Water Association will
be out of compliance for the next two quarters the rule requires that notification Is ei-
ther mailed or delivered by hand upon each occurrence.
FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Chris CarrOll at 863-983-2323
OR CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION POTABLE
WATER COMPLIANCE/ENFORCEMENT SECTION AT 239-332-6975.
Please share this Information with all the other people who drink this water, espe-
cially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example people in
apartments, trailer parks, campgrounds and businesses). You can do this by posting
the notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

The most important
20 minutes of your day
Is the time spent reading

birth to age nine.


The true reason why Jesus did come


By Jackie Miller
Minister First Christian Church
Matthew 1:21 "And thou
shalt call His name Jesus: for
He shall save His people from
their sins."
When the Archangel
Gabriel broke the silence
which had separated Heaven
and Earth for 400 years, it was
to bring the electrifying news
of the birth of a child whose
name was to be called
"Jesus," The choice of names
was not accidental for it was
explained that He would save
His people from their sins.
The passing centuries had
conferred upon this child such
honor as has been given to no
other in all human history.
Each time we write a day, we
are paying honor to him in
terms of whose birth all time
is now measured! The calen-
dar bends around the manger
of Bethlehem. Before His birth
is known as "B.C." (Before
Christ); after His birth is
known as "A.D." a Latin term
meaning "In the Year of Our
Lord").
If you travel the world over
you will be impressed with
His influence in Art, Literature,
and Architecture, all of which
has drawn on "Him" as a chief
source of inspiration. When
one walks into the Westmin-
ster Abbey, or the Great Cathe-
dral of Notre Dame, or many
such buildings, one is
impressed anew with the
tremendous impact which
"He" has had on the minds of
men. Armies have marched in
His name and although their
efforts have been misguided,
they left no question as to the
tremendous influence He has
had, even in the most material
of affairs. Empires have risen
and fallen as a result of their
relationship to principles
which "He" established, in an
effort to do "Him" honor.
There is no way to estimate
properly events which have
occurred in the world as we
know it because 2,000 years


ago there was born one who
was designated "Jesus, the.
Savior."
But it is not merely in terms
of outward and practical
changes that the influence of
Jesus can be seen upon the
world. Although we live in a
time in which His ideals and
principles are sadly neglected,
the fact remains that man's
sense of values must be forev-
er different because He lived.
Until He came, little attention
was paid to the worth of each
individual person. The lives of
all men were mere pawns in
the power struggle of those
who ruled over them. The
world into which He came
paid little attention to the posi-
tion occupied by the woman,
the crowning glory of God's
creation. By consent of the
centuries she had been left to
servitude with none of the
honor which God attached to
her. It was Jesus who lifted
her up and offered her that
position of influence and use-
fulness which every Christian
wife and mother now occupy.
The ideas of man concerning
the attainment of greatness
could no longer include mere
financial gain, power, social
position or any other measure
which men had traditionally
used to determine success.
There is no way to estimate
the changes which Jesus pro-
duced in the sense of values of
the world because of His life.
And, yet, it was not for any
of this that my Lord came. If
there were no more to be
accomplished than He should
be memorialized in Art, Litera-
ture and Architecture. If the
tragic consequences of war
and power seeking in His
name were all that were to be
accomplished by His life on
earth-Jesus would have
been better off to have stayed
in Heaven!
Let me give you some valid
and scriptural reasons why
Jesus came:
1.) He came to prove that
Satan is a liar when he whis-


pers that "Everyone is going to
sin anyhow." There are times
when we are tempted to
excuse our mistakes or justify
our decisions which seem to:
offer advantages other than
spiritual by listening to the
explanation that "Nobody can
expect to live perfectly and sin
doesn't really- matter any-
how." Jesus. came to make it.
clear that sin matters so much
that God was willing to send
Him from Heaven to Earth!
When Satan had prevailed
with men, and sin had sepa-
rated us from God, there was
no way by which this tragedy
could be overcome except by
the sacrifice of one who was
sinless! We cannot convince
ourselves that sin doesn't mat-
ter when wve remember that
sin drove Jesus from heaven
to live upon this earth and to
die for our sins!
2.) Jesus came to make us
know that it is not true that
everybody is expected to sin.
Jesus lived above sin and was
not guilty for a single mistake.
This was surely not because
He was not tempted, for we
are told, "He was tempted in
all points like as we are, yet
without sin." (Heb. 4:15).
3.) He came to demon-
strate the Power of Truth. The
Truth of Resurrection trans-
formed His Apostles from
fearful, confused, bewildered
men to fearless proclaimers of
His eternal truth. Jesus said,
"And ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you
free" (John 8:32). He also
said, I am the Truth," (John
14:6).
4.1 Jesus came to us that
money, position, and military
might are not the means for
victory. It is especially true in
this hectic world in which we
live, bombarded on every side
by materialism and tempted
always to seek success in its
terms, that we must remem-
ber that Jesus won victory
without any such thing! He
said, "The foxes have holes
and the fowls of the air have


nests, but the Son of Man hath
not where to lay His head."
When the disciples spoke of
their desire for "Power," Jesus
talked to them about "serv-
ice."
5.) Jesus came to earth to
emphasize the necessity of
submission to the Father's
Will! Again and again, Jesus
said the reason why he did
what He did was because, "It
was His Father's Will."
6.) Jesus came to prove
that you "win" by "losing."
Who would ever decide that
the way to change the world
was to die? Who would ever
suppose that without money,
power, or armies He could
have a more lasting effect on
the affairs of men than all oth-
ers who have ever lived put:
together?
7.) The Greatest Reason
why Jesus came to earth is He
came to define and demon-
strate Love. Love to Him was
not merely an emotional feel.
ing, which is usually our defi-
nition. Love to Jesus meant
helping the sick, feeding the
hungry, comforting the dis-
tressed, reaching out to the lit-
tle children, giving Himself in
service to all those He met.
Love to Him meant, "Seeking
the Highest Good."
8.) Jesus came to be my
Savior. It was not because of
any honor which He needed,
nor anything which was to be
accomplished in His behalf,
but rather because unless He
came there was no Hope for
me and you! Jesus was the
sinlesss sacrifice" required by
the Heavenly Father.
9.) He came that we might
be led to the same experi-
ences that He knew on earth.
The Apostle Peter said. "Jesus
left us an example that vwe
should follow in His steps."
This must be the continued
purpose for which w.ve live, to
make ourselves over accord-
ing to the example which He
left and the Teaching which
He gave so that those who
know us may see Christ in


us-The Hope of Glory! If we
expect Him to say "Well
Done" to us in judgment, then
we must "Do Well"! I close
this article with this song from
the past.
If Jesus Had Not Come
If Jesus had not come, how
dark had been the night!
The Wisemen, sadly dumb,
had seen no starry light!
The shepherds on the hill
had heard no angel song!
The bells in silence chill, no
joyous peal hand rung.
If Jesus had not come, no
freedom had the slave:
No woman's happy home,
no hand a child to save;
The people in the gloom
had one eternal night;
Death met them at the
tomb, no resurrection light!
If Jesus had not come, no
great physician kind,
Had brought a healing
balm, a vision for the blind!
No soul with Demon torn
had found a sure release!
The hopeless and forlorn
had found no way to peace!
If Jesus had not come, how
blank the sacred page!
The poet had no song, and
silent were the sage!
No artist to adorn our wor-
ship with delight;
No coral Psalm had borne
his praises day or night.
If Jesus had not come, how
sad had been our fate!
Of judgment sore the
sum-for all our sin and hate!
No loving God of Grace-
His precious Son had giv'n
No hope to see His face; no
joy to meet in Heaven!
But Jesus came' He came
to earth, and men beheld his
manger birth
The Shepherds heard the
Angels sing, the wise pro-
claimed Him Lord and King,
He died, He rose, and by
His blood, we, too, become
the sons of God!
We preach the Gospel in
His name, for Jesus came, yes,
Jesus came!


Understanding truth and consequences


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist
Church, Clewiston
Over the last month, the
state of Oregon has been in the
news because of two stories
that touched
the hearts of
our nation.
One story is
the account
of how the
Kim family
lost their a
way in the
Oregon
wilderness, John
survived for Hicks
nine days,
were rescued, save for the
father who had set out to find
help. After the family had been
rescued and the body of James
Kim recovered, authorities
learned that the gate which
would have prevented them
from taking that road into the
wilderness had been vandal-


ized. But for the actions of
those vandals, James Kim
might be alive today.
The other story was closed
a week ago when the search
for missing climbers on Mt.
Hood was called off. Our
hearts and prayers go out to
the families of Kelly James,
Brian Hall, and Jerry Cooke.
These stories have moved
me to consider why \ve take
risks and why we miss or fail
to respond to many warning
signs, and then have to suffer
the consequences of our
actions.
James Kim missed a turn
off and took an exit which put
his family on a road they trav-
eled for miles, passing at least
three large yellow warning
signs that the road ahead
might be blocked with snow.
They came to a fork in the
road and must not have seen
the sign that pointed left for the
Oregon coast. They turned
right onto a logging road that


normally would have been
blocked at that time of year.
Vandals had cut the lock and
opened the gate. The road was
treacherous, covered with
snow and ice, and so haz-
ardous that a CNN satellite
truck operator, retracing the
journey, refused to go on. The
family drove for 15 miles on
that road before getting stuck
in the snow. They stayed there
for nine days before James
Kim decided to set out for help.
While he was gone, the family
was found. Two days later they
found his body. It's likely that
the person or persons who cut
the lock never imagined that
their little action could have
horrible consequences.
James, Hall, and Cooke did
not share much in (he way of
professional interests, but they
did connect as fellow Chris-
tians and passionate mountain
climbers. They planned and
prepared and even left notes
when they set out on Dec. 8,


for what was supposed to be a
two day climb. But something
went terribly wrong. Kelly
James had a dislocated shoul-
der, possibly from a fall.
Apparently, his two compan-
ions had gone downhill for
help. As I1 write this, they have
not been found.
The Kims may not have
seen warning signs about the
snow ahead The three hikers
may not have realized the
intensity of the storm that was
brewing. But that's often the
case with many of us. We
often fail to sense, or "smell"
the danger ahead, or if we see
warning signs, ignore them.
All actions result in conse-
quences, and ultimately we
have to face the conse-
quences that may emerge as a.
result of our choices and
behavior, whether we see the
signs or not.
Even our good actions dan
have unintended, negative
consequences. James Kim felt


he needed to do something for
his family Brian Hall and Jerry
Cooke felt thev needed to do
something for their friend. The
consequences of their deci-
sions and actions did not have
a fairytale ending. In the Scrip-
tures, we are told. "Greater
love has no one than this, that
he lay down his life for his
friends." (John 15:13) This
they did.
The important question is
not whether we always make
the right decision, but in the
consequences of our decisions
and actions, can wve stand with
faithinlegrity, honor, and
strength?
The truth is: With God we
can
"Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, I
fear no evil: for You are with
me; Your rod and Your staff -
they comfort me." (Psalm
23.41) "I can do everything
through Him who gives me
strength." (Philippians 4:13)


Florida's job market continues growth


Florida's labor market sta-
tistics for November 2006
based on the latest nation-
wide data showed Florida had
the fastest job growth rate and
lowest unemployment rate of
the ten most populous states.
Florida's unemployment rate
continued to be below the
national average.
Florida's Unemployment
(Seasonally Adjusted)
Florida's November 2006
unemployment rate was 3.3
percent, 0.2 percentage point
higher than the October 2006
rate of 3.1 percent. The rate
was down 0.2 percentage
point from 3.5 percent a year
ago.
Out of a civilian labor
force of 9,118,000, there were
8,818,000 employed and
301,000 unemployed Floridi-
ans.
Florida's November 2006
rate was 1.2 percentage
points lower than the national
rate of 4.5 percent.
Florida's unemployment
rate has been below the
national average since mid-
2002.
Florida's Nonagricultural
employment by industry (Sea-
sonallyAdjusted)
In November 2006, Flori-
da's nonagricultural employ-
ment expanded by 2.7 per-
cent over the year, totaling
8,126,200 jobs. In compari-
son, nonagricultural employ-
ment grew nationally at a rate
of 1.3 percent. Florida's job
growth rate has slowed most


of this year primarily due to
slower growth in construc-
tion.
Florida added 211,400
jobs since November 2005.
Professional, and business
services and leisure and hos-
pitality accounted- for 42.3
percent of the new jobs in the
state over the year.
Note: All data are subject
to revision due to .late report-
ing from participants and the
annual benchmarking
process.
An equal, opportunity
employer/program. Auxiliary
aids and services are available
upon request to individuals
with disabilities. All voice tele-
phone numbers on this docu-
ment may be reached by per-
sons using TTY/TDD
equipment via the Florida
Relay Service at 711.
The next Florida Employ-
ment and Unemployment
release will be on Jan. 19,
2007 at 10 a.m.
Florida's Nonagricultural
employment by industry (Not
Seasonally Adjusted)
Florida's total nonagri-
cultural employment has
expanded steadily since Sep-
tember 2002.. In November
2006, there were 8,181,300
nonagricultural jobs, an
increase of 2.7 percent
(+212,600 jobs) over the year.
Most of Florida's major indus-
try sectors added jobs over
the year, except manufactur-
ing and information which
lost 4,200 jobs and 800 jobs,


respectively. An overview of
some of Florida's major
industry sectors is below.
Professional and busi-
ness services led Florida's
industry sectors in employ-
ment growth over the year,
adding 58,600 jobs (+4.3 per-
cent). Employment services
(+22,200 jobs, +4.6 percent)
continued to lead job growth
within this industry sector.
Leisure and hospitality,
gaining the second highest
number of new jobs, contin-
ued to exhibit steady over-the-
year job gains (+31,000 jobs,
+3.5 percent). This industry
had positive growth since
mid-2002. Most of the job
gains were in food services
and drinking places (+22,400
jobs, +3.9 percent).
Construction had the
fastest annual job growth rate
(+5.0 percent) and added the
third highest number of new.
jobs (+29,700 jobs) among
Florida's major industries.
The growth rate in construc-
tion peaked in late 2004 at
12.8 percent.
The education and
health services sector ranked
fourth and grew by 28,600
jobs (+3.0 percent) over the
year. Health care and social
assistance added the most
jobs (+24,800 jobs, +3.0 per-
cent) in this industry sector.
The strongest growth within
health care and social assis-
tance was in .ambulatory
health care services (+9,800
jobs, +2.9 percent). Health


care and social assistance has
been growing steadily since
1999.,
The trade, transportation
and utilities industry ranked
fifth in adding the most jobs in
the state. The industry contin-
ued to exhibit growth over the
year it+27,500 jobs, + 1.7 per-
cent), with 42.5 percent of the
job gains in wholesale trade
(+11,700 jobs, +3.4 percent).
Clothing and accessory stores
(+7,900 jobs, +7.4 percent)
was the fastest growing sub-
sector in this industry.
Manufacturing and infor-
mation were the only major
industries that declined over
the year, losing 4,200 and 800
jobs, respectively (-1.0 per-
cent and -0.5 percent). Manu-
facturing job losses in the
durable goods sector (-200
jobs, -0.1 percent) accompa-
nied losses in the nondurable
goods sector (-4,000 jobs, -3.0
percent). Most of the increas-
es in manufacturing were in
machinery manufacturing
(+1,300 jobs, +5.0 percent).
Information job losses were
based primarily in telecom-
munications (-1,600 jobs, -2.5
percent).
Local Area Unemployment
Statistics (Not Seasonally
Adjusted)
In November 2006, Wal-
ton County had the state's
lowest unemployment rate
(2.2 percent), followed by
Alachua, Okaloosa, and
Wakulla counties (2.5 percent
each). Monroe County was


the next lowest (2.6 percent).
w*Madison County, at 8.0
percent, had the highest
unemployment rate in Florida
in November, followed by
Hendry County (6.4 percent)
and Hamilton County (4.8
percent). Madison County's
high unemployment rate was
due to the continuing effects
of a layoff in manufacturing.
The counties having the
largest over-the-year declines
in unemployment rates were
Hendry (-1.2 percentage
points); Monroe (-0.8 percent-
age point); and Franklin and
Hardee (-0.6 percentage point
each). An equal number of
counties in Florida showed
declines and increases in their
unemployment rates over the
year. Twenty-nine increased,
twenty-nine decreased, and
nine counties were
unchanged.
Area Nonagricultural
employment by industry (Not
Seasonally Adjusted)
The Miami-Ft. Laud-
erdale-Miami Beach Metro-
politan Statistical Area (MSA)
led the state in over the-year
employment gains (+51,200
jobs, +2.1 percent) in
November 2006, followed by
the Orlando-Kissimmee MSA
(+39,800 jobs, +3.7 percent)
and the Tampa-St. Petersburg-
Clearwater MSA (+20,800
jobs, + 1.6 percent). The com-
bined employment growth in
these three MSAs accounted
for over half of the total job
growth for the state.
