Juvenile shot in the arm


Cousin accidentally
shoots victim

By Jose Jesus Zaragoza
Clewiston News
HARLEM -- A bullet entered
and left a juvenile's arm when
his cousin accidentally fired the
gun in his direction.


While the boy is expected to
.fully recover from the incident,
police retrieved the gun to ensure
that it doesn't happen again.
The victim was lucky to not
have sustained a more serious
injury.
Officers were called to the
scene in Harlem on Wednesday,
Jan. 23, shortly before 2:30 p.m.
The 15-year-old had been taken


to the emergency room, where
he was being treated for the
wound.
When interviewed by police,
the juvenile said he had been
walking in the area of Harlem
Gardens when he heard a loud
bang and later realized he had
been shot.
A friend told him he was shot,
and, perhaps because of the


immediacy of the injury, the 15-
year-old had not become aware
of it.
It was then that he noticed
blood running down his arm.
Investigators worked closely
with members of the Clewiston
Police Department, who found
out through their investigation
that the person who had report-
edly fired the gun was another

Emergency water supply


option is being considered


WEST PALM BEACH -- In the
face of persistent water shortage
conditions, the South Florida Wa-
ter Management District (SFW-
MD) is investigating the feasibility
of installing 14 new lakeside tem-
porary pumps along the southern
rim of Lake Okeechobee to assist
in meeting future water supply
needs.
The SFWMD Governing Board
approved funding for the poten-
tial $1.5 Million project that could
involve installing diesel-powered
hydraulic pumps on the lake side
of water control structures S-351,
S-352 and S-354 in Palm Beach
County.
Water managers are thorough-
ly examining the option, includ-
ing a cost benefit analysis and
environmental permitting review,
to determine if the proposed new
temporary pumps are the best
way to continue limited water de-
livery south of Lake Okeechobee
during the water shortage.
"Investigating all of our water
supply options is the most re-
sponsible route we can take in
the face of weather uncertainties,"
said SFWMD Governing Board
Chairman Eric Buermann. "Even
if new pumps are installed, that
will not resolve the water short-
age. Everyone must continue to
do their part by observing water
restrictions and conserving water
whenever possible."


The pumps under consider-
ation would be able to lift water
from Lake Okeechobee into the
North New River, Hillsboro and
Miami canals, even if the lake wa-
ter level drops below seven feet.
The pumps could move water at
a combined rate of 700 cubic feet
per second, or about half the ca-
pacity of the temporary canal-side
forward pumps already in use.
If natural conditions continue
to lower Lake Okeechobee's wa-
ter level, the lake- side tehtporary
pumps would be able to provide
a small percentage of water to
serve area supply needs. At this
time, a decision to install the
pumps would be a precaution-
ary measure in the event Lake
Okeechobee's water level drops
below 7 feet. Lake Okeechobee's
water level today is 10.12 feet,
still more than four feet below its
historical average for this time. of
year.
If the 2008 rainy season pro-
vides enough water to raise Lake
Okeechobee levels, the portable
lake-side temporary pumps could
be used at other locations for
flood control.
"We hope that the weather
cooperates and that there won't
be a need for these pumps," said
SFWMD Executive Director Carol
Wehle. "But we must be prepared
to respond and deliver water if
conditions worsen."


A series of electric temporary
forward pumps installed oni the
canal side of these same water
control structures in early 2007
have proven successful in main-
taining water availability, but
they will not be effective if Lake
Okeechobee's water level reach-
es an extreme low.
Water levels in the lake
have been setting new record
daily lows for more than seven
months, and they continue to re-
cede due to below-average rain-
fall. The lake reached a historic
low of 8.82 feet on July 2, 2007.
Lake Okeechobee is the source of
water for 500,000 acres of farm-
land in the Everglades Agricul-
tural Area and serves as a primary
back-up water supply to more
than five million South Floridians.
Extremely low water condi-
tions in Lake Okeechobee have
provided the District with the op-
portunity to do extensive environ-
mental restoration work that will
improve water quality and habi-
tat. Projects included removing 2
million cubic yards of muck from
3,000 acres of exposed lake bed,
which also removed 140 metric
tons of phosphorus. In addition,
the District burned 70,000 acres
and treated 10,000 acres of torpe-
do grass and planted 2,000 native
pond apple trees.

Ham operators are needed


Hendry and Glades Counties
are looking for Amateur (Ham)
Radio volunteers for emergency
communications. Amateur radio
is a vital link providing emergen-'
cy communications when other
methods of communication fail.
During Hurricane Wilma, the
only communication to some of
the shelters for several hours was
by ham radio. Area ham radio
operators provided communica-
tion for the Community Emer-
gency Response Team (CERT)
training final exercise in LaBelle
on Friday, January 18.
Over the past several years,
the number of hams available
to operate the ham radio equip-
ment has declined. Several fac-
tors have contributed, but com-
puters and cell phones have
reduced interest in the hobby. A

Washington, DC -- U.S. Repre-
sentative Alcee L. Hastings (D-Mi-
ramar) recently announced that
he is encouraged by recent work
done by the Army Corps of Engi-
neers to initiate construction on a
test panel for a cutoff wall and to
increase expert reviews and con-
sultation as part of efforts to re-
pair the Herbert Hoover Dike. The
Dike, which is in desperate need
of rehabilitation, was built in the
1930s to protect those living in the
communities along the shores of
Lake Okeechobee. Representa-
tive Hastings secured almost $55
million in the Fiscal Year 2008
Omnibus Appropriations bill to
expedite repairs to the Dike.
"In order to guarantee the safe-
ty and security of my constituents
who reside near and around Lake
Okeechobee, we need to ensure
appropriate and swift rehabilita-
tion of the Dike," said Representa-
tive Hastings. "I appreciate the re-
cent progress made by the Army
Corps of Engineers to repair the
Dike. The innovative engineering
technology work on this project is
an important step forward in on-
going efforts to stabilize the Dike.

Ham radio is that it works much
better than Citizen Band (CB's),
Family Band Radios or even Busi-
ness Radios.
The FCC, in 2006, recognized
the decreasing level of inter-

Local radio amateurs


participate in C.E.R.T. drill


By Samuel S. Thomas,
W3ALE, PIO Big Lake
Radio Club
On Saturday, Jan. 26, the lo-
cal radio amateur community
provided emergency commu-
nications during the gradua-
tion training drill for the LaBelle
CERT (Corrimunity Emergency
Response Team) group; as they
went through a drill designed to
test preparedness in the event of
a disaster.
The drill was held at the air-
port location of the LaBelle EMT-
Fire Station and consisted of a
field team, a triage-medical team,
and a central communications-
coordination post; with volun-
teers serving as 'victims" and the
newly-trained members putting
their skills in disaster help to work.
Sam Thomas,W3ALE, and Walt
Weild., KA2HUY, were the com-
munications coordinators for the


central command post; providing
information to the on-site director
for the exercise; while Norm Dill-
man, NOJCC provided communi-
cations from. the field team that
did on-site first aid and rescue
operations. Jim Sparks, AA4BN
provided communications liaison
from the Triage Center, giving up-
dates on the status of the "victims"
!and arrival times of ambulances.
The communications crew also
'established a link with the radio
repeaters in Fort Myers; not a part
of the drill but demonstrating the
capabilities of the local operators
and equipment to reach out to re-
gional, wider-area centers should
there have been an actual need.
Additional communications con-
tacts were demonstrated through
-the repeaters around the Lake
Okeechobee area; making use
of a portable beam antenna and
battery-powered VHF transceiv-
ers. The CERT group 'demon-


strated a good level of proficiency
and capability in handling on-site
disaster needs and the members
of the Big Lake Amateur Radio
Club, as well as other amateur
operators were happy to assist
them in their drill. Later in the
day, Charles Carter, AAORB' and
Grace Ann Carter,
NOGAC, came-out to assist in
the ongoing activities for the day;
and were appreciated for their
contribution to the preparations
that are ongoing in LaBelle, Hen-
dry County and the surrounding
areas in disaster training. The
community is working to take
a pro-active stance; preparing
ahead of time for whatever disas-
ters might strike our area. We are
grateful for those who took time
out to volunteer for training and
offer their services to our cities,
county and region. Thank you,
CERT's volunteers and a job well
done!,

Letters to the Editor


The "LAW" of change
in Hendry
I don't know about you but I
find the current crop of Presiden-
tial "wanna-bees" overwhelming
infatuation and evangelistic preoc-
cupation with "change" worthy of
some serious examination and dis-
cussion. Since I'm not competing
for anything, except your attention,
I will not bore you with a litany of
their self-centered promises and
speculations.
We all know how "change" of
any kind is resisted. Whether it be
for perceived good, bad, or indiffer-
ent. So what possible implication
could I bring to a discussion on
"change" with all its inviolate limi-
tations of success?
Putting all that logic aside for a
few minutes, I would like to share
with you some thoughts which I
will call "The Law of the Garbage
Truck' in which I will try -to make
an argument for change", and not
just "change" for "change's" sake.
How often do you let other peo-
ple's actions change your mood?
Do you let a bad driver, rude sales
person, bad boss, or an insensitive
co-worker ruin your day?
Being, a country boy suddenly
turned loose in the city of Chicago,
depending on public transportation
to do my job in sales, I was ill-suited
for the drastic change in the pace of
life on the streets of a major popu-
lated city.
Arriving by train from my home
in north central Indiana, I had been
instructed to take a cab from the


depot to my new company's down-
town Chicago offices. I had no
sooner entered my taxi and told the
driver my destination when as my
driver eased out into traffic a huge
black sedan jumped out in front of
us necessitating a panic stop by my
driver, missing contact by inches.
The driver of the intruding sedan
whipped open his door and started
berating my driver, who just smiled,
and waved at the belligerent other
driver. This was incredulous to me
and I asked my driver how he could
just smile and wave after this guy
had almost killed us. Without bat-
ting an eye my driver then calmly
explained what he called "The Law
of the Garbage Truck."
He explained that in many years
of incurring all kinds of people and
all kinds of action's, that many
people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage,
full of frustration, full of anger, and
full of disappointment. As their gar-
bage piles up, they need a place to
dump it, and if you let them, they
will dump it on you. When some-
one wants to dump it on you, don't
take it personally. You just smile,
wave, wish them well, and move
on. You'll be happy you did, and
that's what I now call my, "Law of
the Garbage Truck."
The timing of that event, even
now, over fifty years ago, still sticks
with me. For, as it did that day, it still
keeps me thinking how often those
garbage trucks had run over me,
and I, in turn, took their garbage
and dumped it on someone else.
'At work, at home, everywhere and


everyone I came in contact with.
That was the day that I promised
myself to do everything I could not
to dump on anyone, anymore.
In a career that spanned over
60 years in sales service, sales and
sales management, I became very
adroit at spotting garbage trucks
at all levels of my personal and
business life. Thanks to that initial
welcome to the "big city" and my
taxi cab experience, I'm proud to
say I developed the ability to see
the loads coming. Just looking for
a place and time to unload, but like
that sage old taxi driver I was able
to not take it personally. Just smile,
wave, wish them well, and move
on.
Without ever having the advice
of the taxi driver's philosophy, my
Mother, who had been an orphan,
had an expression she used that
allowed her to overcome the gar-
bage that had been dropped on her
in her teens" She always said, "They
can crap on me. They can rub it in,
but they better never give me hell
for stinking!" At the time that I was
growing up with this wonderful
woman I never thought how ap-
plicable it was in meeting life's
challenges, until my first taxi ride in
Chicago.
While in Chicago, Walter Payton
of the Chicago Bears became my
hero. If you ever saw "SIR" Walter
play, you can appreciate that he
exhibited the ability to not let other
people "dump" on him. Every time
there was avicious tackle, he would
jump up just as quickly as he had
hit the ground, smile, and wave


on his, way back to the huddle.
He never dwelled on a hit. Payton
was always ready to make the next
play his best. Just like great leaders
have to be ready for the next play,
and caring parents have to main-
tain discipline without allowing
their children to become dumping
grounds. True leaders have to ac-
cept the world is full of runaway,
garbage trucks and maintain and
protect those for whom they have
pledged to lead, encourage and
sustain. Successful leaders don't let
themselves get bogged down with
other people's garbage to the detri-
ment of their supporters.
What about you? What would
happen to your life, starting now,
if you would not let any garbage
trucks dump on you and yours?
I'm betting that you and yours
will be happier, since life is too
short to be waking uip in the morn-
ing with regrets. Love the one's
who treat you right. Smile, wave
and move away from those who
insist on dumping on you or yours.
Accept the fact that everything,
good or bad, happens for a reason,
and detour those garbage trucks
onto dead end streets, where they
belong. If life presents you with a
chance, TAKE. IT! If it changes your
life, LET IT!
If in this "season" of the "politi-
cians", you can apply "The Law of
the Garbage Truck", do it, and re-
member, "HE never said it would
be easy! HE only promised we
would not have to go it ALONE!"
By T. W. Bill Neville

Variety adds spice and nutrition


It's ironic that in this day
and age, when a wide variety
of fruits and vegetables is ready
available at the nearest super-
market, that some people ac-
tually have less variety in their
diet than the average American
did when they relied on locally
grown produce.
Before modern transporta-
tion made it possible to ship
tomatoes from Florida to Michi-
gan in the middle of the winter,
and before modern food pack-
aging made it possible to buy
frozen.strawberries year round,
people simply ate what was
available. That meant that their
diets changed with the seasons.
Some foods were available in
the spring, others in the sum-
mer, and other foods were avail-
able in the autumn.
When it comes to healthy
eating, variety is good for you.
Eating a variety of foods usually
means consuming a variety of
nutrients. This used to happen
,from necessity. People ate what
was available and were glad to


with Katrina Elsken

have it. But with the way food is
produced and marketed today,
it is possible to eat exactly the
same foods every day. And un-
fortunately, some people es-
pecially small children want to
do just that.
A diet that includes only two
vegetables those same two
vegetables -- every day may not
be balanced. Unless the two veg-
etables are broccoli and sweet
potatoes, some vitamins may be
missing from that diet.
How do you get more va-
riety in the diet?
*Experiment: Twice a month,
buy a fruit or vegetable your
family has never tried before.

Health Dept. promotes child nutrition


TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida
Department of Health (DOH)
joins the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture (USDA) in
promoting the Child Care Food
Program, a federally funded
USDA program that reimburses
child care providers for serving
nutritious meals and snacks to
children.
"The Child Care Food Pro-
gram encourages children to
build healthy habits for life,"
said Philip E. Reeves, M.P.H.,
Bureau Chief of Child Nutrition
Programs. "Parents seeking
child care in Florida are encour-
aged to. enroll their children in
facilities that participate in this
program."


DOH administers the Child
Care Food Program through
four types of child care-related
settings:
Child care centers: In a non-
pricing child care center, meals
will be available at no separate
charge to eligible children. In a
pricing child care center, chil-
dren from households whose
income falls within the reduced-
price income guidelines are
eligible for reduced-price meals.
These meals are priced at 40
cents for lunch/dinner, 30 cents
for breakfast, and 15 cents for
snacks. Children from house-
holds whose income falls within
the free guidelines are eligible
for meals at no separate charge.
Family day care homes:


Meals are available at no sepa-
rate charge to eligible children.,
Afterschool programs: The
Afterschool Snack Program is a
subcomponent of the Child Care
Food Program. Snacks are avail-
able at no separate charge to
eligible children.
Homeless shelters and cer-
tain emergency shelters: The
Homeless Children Nutrition
Program is a subcomponent of
the Child Care Food Program.
Meals are available at no sepa-
rate charge to eligible children.
Households currently certified
to receive food stamps or Tem-
porary Assistance to Needy Fam-
ilies are automatically eligible to
receive free meal benefits.
DOH promotes, protects and


improves the health of all people
in Florida. To learn more about
DOH programs, visit www.doh.
state.fl.us. For more information
on the Child Care Food Program
and to locate local programs,
please visit www.doh.state.fl.us/

Guidelines used in determining

fall in love with pomegranates
or spaghetti squash.
Parents can set a good
example by eating a variety of
foods. Encourage every mem-
ber of the family to eat at least
one spoonful of the new food.
A little creativity in food
preparation can "sneak" extra
vegetables into foods that are
family favorites. For example,
you can mince (chop up into.
very small pieces) yellowsquash,
eggplant and green peppers and
add to spaghetti sauce. The to-
mato sauce color and spaghetti
spices can effectively disguise
the additional vegetables.
If you tried a canned veg-
etable and didn't like it, try the
fresh version. There is a big dif-
ference between the flavor and
texture of canned and fresh veg-
etables.
Try juices and juice blends,
as a way to include a bigger va-
riety of fruits and vegetables in
your family's diet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
THE LAKEPORT WATER ASSOCIATION WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM HAS A
LEVEL OF TOTAL TRIHALOMETHANES WHICH EXCEEDS STANDARDS
SITUATION
The Department of Environmental Protection requires disinfection of drinking water
to inactivate possible pathogens, because the health benefits of disinfection far
outweigh its' risks. However, when used in the treatment of drinking water, some
disinfectants combine with organic and inorganic matter present in the water to
form chemicals called disinfection byproducts (DBP's). A number of DBP's such
as Total Trihalomethanes (TfHM's) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5's) may be a
health concern at certain levels of exposure.
The laboratory analysis resultsfor the THM sample collected In January 2008, De-
cember 2007, and April 2007, July 2007, now indicate a running annual average
TTHM concentration of 96.7 micrograms per liter (ug/L). Therefore, The Depart-
ment has determinedt hat this water system has generated a Maximum Contami-
Admistratale Code (F.A.C.), Identifies the MCL for TTHM's as 80 (ugfL).
HEALTH EFFECTS
Some people who drink water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the Maxi-
mum Contaminant Level (MCL) over many years may experience problems with
their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased chance
of getting cancer.
WHAT SHOULD CUSTOMERS DO?
This is not an immediate drisk however, until the problem is corrected, any custom-
ers who are concerned about their exposure to TTHM's may wish to us alternative
sources of water for ingestion, such as commercial bottled water, or water treat-
ed by an appropriate home water treatment device. Appropriate home water treat-
mert devices are those certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for
reducing TTHM's in drinking water.
WHAT IS BEING DONE?
The problem will be corrected when the Seminole Tribe builds their new water treat-
ment plant on the Brighton Reservation. Construction is expected to be completed
in early 2008;
For more information, please contact Jeff Ussery at (863) 946-1300, or write to:
Lakeport Water Association, Inc., 10055 Red Barn Road, Moore Haven, FL
33471. You may also contact the Dept of Environmental Protection Potable Water
Compliance/Entorcement Section at (239) 332-6975. Please share this informa-
tion with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not
have received this notice directly (for example those in apartments, nursing home,
school and businesses.

watched their girls' team lose, 70-31. But after the game, all of them did get
to spend some quality time with the players from both teams, particularly
Riquana Williams of the Blue Devils- a McDonald's All-American. Please

Hi everyone!
C*E3S* The students at
CES are giving
an excellent effort and working
hard in their classrooms on their
t. studies! The fifth graders recent-
ly read two wonderful stories,
"Satchmo's Blues," by Alan Schro-
eder and "Evelyn Cisneros: Prima
Ballerina," by Charnan Simon.
"Satchmo's Blues" is a vibrant, in-
spiring story about a young Louis
Armstrong growing up in New
Orleans, and the story describes
how he acquires his first trumpet
through hard work and perse-
verance. He went on to become
one of the world's greatest Jazz
performers. "Evelyn Cisneros,
Prima Ballerina," is also a story
about hard work, perseverance,
and never giving up on a dream,
as Evelyn Cisneros overcame her
shyness as a child, and she even-
tually became a world-famous
ballet dancer, with. the San Fran-
cisco Ballet. Students everywhere
should be inspired by these real-
life stories, and they should never
give up on their dreams!
Upcoming Events:

Eastside Elementary
Dr. Frank Mraz, an astrono-
mer working with Florida Gulf


c Coast University
presented the
^principal of East-
side Elementary,
Mara Duke, with
a model of the
Moon sent to us
from NASA as a
gift for a Moon Seminar held at
Eastside Elementary in Decem-
ber. About one hundred students
ranging in age from five to fifty
. attended the event even though
there were monsoonal rains that
night. The program, an effort
put forth by the Eastside Science
Club and teachers, Mrs. Potter,
Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Ruiz, and Mr.
Hubbard, was geared to fourth
and fifth graders, and had origi-
nally planned to view the moon
in its first quarter phase through
a telescope.
Unfortunately due to the rain,
the event was moved into the
cafeteria where Dr. Mraz used
.scale models of the Earth, Moon,
and the Sun to demonstrate the
phases of the Moon. This was
great practice as on the FCAT fifth
graders are expected to look at
a diagram and determine based
on the arrangement of the three
what phase the Moon is in at that
given moment. Students were
encouraged to participate in the
hands on demonstration that
lasted about an hour. The profes-
sor then gave the students a tom-
plete lesson on the alignment of
the Earth, Moon, and Sun during
solar and lunar eclipses. The final
part of the program was a ques-
tion and answer period that left
everyone wondering if out in the


vastness of the night sky there is
sore other life form watching us
as we are searching for them.
Dr. Mraz will be returning to
Eastside Elementary on Feb. 22,
to view the Moon through his
telescope. The Science Club is
hoping that this time the weather
will cooperate so that they can do
some lunar viewing, and learn
more about space.
Eastside held its annual School
Spelling Bee Jan. 17. Two winners
from each third, fourth and fifth
grade class had an opportunity to
participate in competing on stage
against each other while parents
and classmates cheered them on.
Participants in the Spelling
Bee were: Javonta Hart, Keianna
Summers, Amanda Ortiz, Emilio

What to do with all those birthdays


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church
I turn 50 this week. All my
life I've been taught to respect
my elders. Now I am one. I'm
reminded of what one friend
shared with me, "You know you
are getting older when you try
to straighten out the wrinkles
in your socks only to find you
aren't wearing any."
Growing older. Aging. We
can laugh about it, make jokes
about it, and groan about it, but
we can't stop it.
So, what do we do with birth-
days? As much as we might like
to avoid them, we can't. So why
not celebrate them?
In an interview with a Lon-
don newspaper, actor Christo-
pher Walken revealed that he
likes to bring a little fun to a
movie set by pretending that it's
his birthday. In the morning, as
the makeup crew is preparing
him for the shoot, he will men-
tion off-handedly that today is
his birthday, but he swears them
to secrecy. In a matter of hours,


the cast and crew of the movie
throw- together a big birthday
party for him. Everyone has a
great time, and no one suspects
that Mr. Walken planned the
whole thing just to inject a little
fun in his colleagues' day.
What a great idea! Who
doesn't like a party -- even if it's
for no reason at all. As a matter
of fact, people have come up
with a number of creative ways
to celebrate and have a good
time.
In Monte Rio, Calif., they
hold a yearly festival in honor
of the spring invasion of the ba-
nana slug. In Pasadena, Calif.
people hold a yearly Doo Dah
Parade, which always includes
a garbage can drum corps. The
people of Myerstown, Pennsyl-
vania hold a celebration every
Oct. 24, in honor of Bald Head
Day. Backwards Day, in which
people wear their clothes back-
ward and walk backward, is a
big celebration in Fort Wayne,
Ind. And around Lake 0 we cel-
ebrate Swamp Cabbage, White


and Brown Sugar, Sour Oranges,
Black Gold, and more!
We never lose our taste for
fun. It's life-affirming. And there
are endless possibilities for en-
joyment in almost any facet of
life. Except, perhaps in some of
our worship of God. Robert Lou-
is Stevenson once entered in his
diary, as if he were recording an
extraordinary phenomenon, "I
have been to Church today, and
am not depressed." Ask people
to describe the average church
service, and the words joy or
fun or party probably would not
be amongst their descriptions.
That's a shame when we are
celebrating the greatest joy on
earth!
Someone once shared with
me an article, "101 Things to Do
During a Dull Sermon." I never
saw him act any of these out, so I
guess my sermons didn't rate on
the dull scale, but I was amused
at some of the suggestions:
Pass a note to the organist
asking whether he/she plays re-
quests.


See if a yawn really is conta-
gious.
Slap your neighbor. See if they
turn the other cheek. If not, raise
your hand and tell the preacher.
Listen for your pastor to use
a word beginning with 'A,' then
'B,' and so on through the alpha-
bet.
Using church bulletins, de-
sign, test and modify a collection
of paper airplanes.
Start from the back of the
church and try to crawl all the
way to the front, under the pews,
without being noticed.
Bring a live squirrel in a shoe
box and leave it near a curious
child.
You know, we probably
wouldn't find these so amus-
ing, except we can relate to
them. Many times,, people hear
the word "church," and they
think boring, obligation, or duty.
Somehow, we've forgotten the
message of Psalm 16, that in
God's presence there is not just
joy, but fullness of joy.


Doing the 'right' thing: Is there an exception to the rules?


By Rev. Samuel S. if I didn't like the price, I could
Thomas speak to the manager. Realiz-
St. Martin's Church, Clewiston ing my mistake, I told her the
There is a saying that "the ex- problem was my problem and
ception proves the rule." Actu- started over again.
ally, the saying is a very old one Sometimes, we break the
and comes from the time when rules of etiquette and it is harm-
"prove" meant "test." What is less, just amusing or embarrass-
meant is that if a rule is strong, ing. Sometimes it is more seri-
it can be tested to see if it holds ous. The Lord encountered a
by the exceptions to it. IF there man who was sick with dropsy
are too many exceptions, there on Sabbath day while dining
is no rule at all. I remember at the house of a local ruler, a
hearing about a man learning Pharisee (Luke 14:1). There is a
to speak English and wanted to long respected tradition about
compliment, someone that he working on a Sunday; a tradi-
had just met. He told him, "It's tion that was regarded as law in
nide to meet you. I've heard that the Lord's day and is respected
you're quite a wise guy!" That's in many places even today. "Re-
different than saying that he had member the Sabbath day, to
heard about "your being wise." keep it holy (Exodus 20:87)"
Or "You're known for your wis- is clear; "the seventh day is a
dom." Sabbath to the Lord your God,
Putting "wise" and "guy" in it you shall not do any work
together changed what both (v.10)." The problem is that
words meant. When I was learn- healing is work. Is this an ex-
ing to live in another language, ception to God's law? Apparent-
there was a restaurant with daily ly, Jesus, thought so. It was He,
specials. One item on the list of Himself who raised the question
items offered on the daily offer- about the lawfulness of healing,
ing was something I didn't par- or the exception. The man was
ticularly:like. wanted -to ask the bea)ed, and Jesus poses, a ques-
- ir wai'esi,"s this fixedi'inY u? hia6ut the :fo i FTW Wh ias
and instead asked her, "Is this going on; asking them which
fixed price?" She told me that of them who had an animal


fall into a ditch on the Sabbath
wouldn't pull it out? His critics
could not reply; there was the
law to be respected, but there
was an exception.
Recently, two young persons
ran away and were found on
a beach in Louisiana after the
country searched for them for
some time. One was 13, the
other 15 and they said they were
"in love" and wanted their "free-
dom." Apparently, they regard-
ed themselves as .exceptions to
rules but I could help but won-
der if "love" justified the difficul-
.ties caused. It is not too uncom-
mon to hear about persons who
regard themselves as exceptions
to the traditions, conventions or
even the laws of our society; and
go on to do as they please.
There have been times when
people have shared with me
their thoughts or plans to do
something drastic. I recall the
parable of the healing of the
man with dropsy; about how
a higher, unselfish, respecting
of persons principle was in-
volved. I didn't hear that in the
news report about the young
runaways. I don't always hear
it when someone talks about
doing something ordinarily for-


bidden and wants to justify the
action in their own eyes as an
"exception." Healing someone
who is sick involves dedication
to humanity, love and caring
spirit. That's at the heart of the
gospel; that's what Jesus came
to teach.
When our soldiers return,
when people consider breaking
deep relationships, when others
are caused to consider "taking
matters into their own hands,"
when we're telling others about,
"the rules are the rules!" and
when- we're perplexed about
what to do; -Jesus had some-
thing to say and do about it all.
Check it out with someone that
loves and believes in Him before
acting and then pray; then care
about all who are involved, lov-
ing others and God too.

Lakeport Church celebrates 60 years


GLADES COUNTY Sunday,
Feb. 3, is Heritage Day at Lake-
port Church of Christ/Christian
Church. There will be a celebra-
tion of 60 years since the church
received her charter. Anyone
who has ever been a part of the
church and any guests are in-
vited to be our guests at the day-
long celebration. There will be
services at 8 a.m., Bible School
at 9:30 a.m. and a second ser-
vice at 10:30 a.m. These will be
followed by a covered dish din-
ner at 11:45 a.m. and a special
Heritage program at 1 pm.
The church has had a long
history sigce a small group start-
ed what would soon become
Lakeport Church of Christ/Chris-
tian Church.
The church began as a Sun-
day School Class in the home
of William Sherman and Laura
Click in 1928. The class was
taught by Will and assisted by
his brothers John and Herbert
Click. After Will's death Laura's
home burned and the church
moved to the old school in
Lakeport located at the corner
of Red Barn Road and Old Lake-


port Road. On Feb. 9, 1947 they
met at the school house to or-
ganize the Church of Christ at
Lakeport. They received a char-
ter from the State of Florida on
June 30, 1947. When the school
building was moved to Moore
Haven to be used as the Band
room, the church met at the
Presbyterian meeting house at
Big Bear Beach in Lakeport until
their building was constructed
on land donated by Herbert
Click. The church has touched
many lives throughout the area
and abroad.
Everyone is invited to be a
part of our Heritage Day. If you
can possibly attend we would
be delighted. If you can not be
here and would like to send us
your memories, we would ap-
preciate receiving them. They
can be emailed to us. You can
send them to carlpascha@aol.
com or to Jo Randolph at Geo-
JoRandolph@SkyeOne.com.
Debbie Paschal, Becky Choate,
