Project H.O.PE.
Sometimes when a disaster is over and
you are just beginning to get back on your
feet, you discover you still do not have the

things are just not the same. Anxiety or just
feeling the blues is common.

aged by the State of Florida. Project H.O.P.E.
outreach workers are in your community.

love to hear how you are doing!

"The real season is about to begin," said
Pete Walker, Glades Day's fourth-year head
coach. "It's Glades Day's time and we gotta
be prepared for MacArthur [North Miami],"
Walker continued, as he rounded up his
team after the game. "We have to take these
playoffs one game at a time."
Redish agreed with Walker's statements
to the team, adding that 'the offense is on a
roll now and we've been hot for the last 4-5
weeks.'
"All we need to do is make sure our de-
fense holds the lead in the fourth quarter,"
Redish continued. "If we do that, then we
should win state this year."
Notes: Glades Day (8-2 overall) will be
traveling south to North Miami Stadium to
face off against District 8-1B champion Mi-
ami MacArthur North tomorrow night.
The kickoff for the Class 1B regional
semifinal game is at 7:30 p.m.
The winner of that contest will advance to
the Class 1B-Region 4 final against the Sheri-
dan Hills (Hollywood)-Jupiter Christian win-
ner on Nov. 27. Expect easy wins for both
Glades Day and Jupiter Christian, which will
then set up for the Class 1B game of the year.
The winner of the Class 1B-Region 4 final,
should both these teams win tomorrow,
could very well likely be this year's Class 1B
state champions.
Glades Day finished the season as the As-
sociated Press High School's No. 3 Class 1B
team two spots behind wire-to-wire Class
1B No. 1 Jupiter Christian.

GC Raiders win second
straight Muck Bowl
Photo courtesy of Chuck Bethel/Miami Sports Tribune
Pahokee's De'Joshua Johnson scored the first of his team's three first half
touchdowns a 59-yard touchdown run in the first quarter of the Blue Devils 47-
21 loss to the Glades Central Raiders in the Nov. 14 Muck Bowl game.
Glades Central scores 28
unanswered points in its 47-
21 win over Pahokee
By Naji Tobias
The Sun
BELLE GLADE- Greg Dent is the best high
school football athlete in the Muck.
After torching the Pahokee Blue Devils
secondary for six catches, 185 yards and a
touchdown in Glades Central's 47-21 vic-
tory, his head coach, Jessie Hester wasted
no time to vouch for that claim.
"Nobody in the state is a better player
than him," Hester said of Dent, who was
named the Muck Bowl MVP.
"I'm dumbfounded that Greg Dent had
been overlooked. He's the best receiver in
the state, no doubt about it."
Along with an 84-yard kickoff return for
a touchdown in the first half of the Muck
Bowl, there was a sequence in the fourth
quarter that could be argued as the game-
winner.
Early in the fourth quarter, with Glades
Central up 25-21, Raiders senior quarter-
back L.J. Thomas lobbed a 23-yard pass to
the end zone with Dent wide open.
But he dropped it, with Pahokee breath-
ing a sigh of relief.
"As I dropped the pass, I was shocked,"
said Dent, who recently made his oral com-
mitment to the University of Miami.
"I don't drop too many balls."
On the very next play, with Pahokee's
Jacquay Perdue covering Dent, Thomas
threw the ball to him again from Pahokee's
23-yard line.
Guess what?
Dent actually caught it, as Glades Central
suddenly found itself in a 33-21 lead it would
not relinquish.
"I told coach [Jessie Hester], 'Let's go
back with the same play,'" Thomas said,
adding that the play call was named 0-80 H
corner.
"On that first pass I threw to Greg, I saw
him drop it. It was a high ball and he prob-
ably lost it in the light."
Thomas was thoroughly confident that
Dent could deliver the second time around.
"It just happened to be a perfect throw
the next time. I knew we could do it again."
Glades Central finished the fourth quarter
with two more passing touchdowns Thom-
as's third touchdown pass, a 2-yard throw to
Demetrius Evans and Alanda Shaw' 59-yard
strike to Jamie Wilson.
Glades Central completed its 28-point
barrage in the second half after finding itself
down 21-19 at halftime.
"We got down at first, but we took care
of business," said Glades Central defensive
end Isiah Corbett, who had three sacks in
the Muck Bowl.
Glades Central's defense, who benefitted
from injuries in the first half to Pahokee play-
makers Chris Dunkley and Fred Pickett, held

RAK blesses Humane Society
Students from the local Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Club recently made
a donation to the Caloosa Humane Society. A check for $225 was presented
to a representative of the Humane Society at the monthly meeting of the RAK
Club. Funds were raised by the club by selling "Do It Yourself Decorating
Cookies" at the Clewiston Fall Festival. After receiving the check on behalf of
the Humane Society, Rick (an employee) provided an informative talk on the
many services that the Humane Society provides. He also spoke of the im-
portance of properly caring for pets. The club members were thrilled to meet
Lady Carmella- a dog who was rescued and resides at the La Belle facility.
Students had a chance to participate in a Question and Answer session con-
cerning animal care and adoption. The RAK Club is a ministry of the Clewis-
ton Christian School and exists to encourage their members to serve and
be a blessing to others. Rick, an employee of the Caloosa Humane Society,
receives a donation from RAK Club project co-leader, Stephanie Hernandez.
Funds were raised by the club at the Clewiston Fall Festival.

Professor WHYS Visits Westside
The fourth and fifth-grade students of
Westside were electrified this past Monday,
November 9, 2009 when Professor Whys
from Florida Power and Light visited the
campus. Professor Whys discussed how
energy is used and its importance in the stu-
dents daily lives. The program was action
packed from students having "hair raising"
experiences with static electricity, princi-
pal/student electric bike race, and so much
more. The Westside Warriors found this
program to not only be exciting but a learn-
ing opportunity they will soon not forget. A
special thanks goes out to Florida Power and
Light and Professor Whys for bringing this
exciting learning opportunity to our school.

Plan
Continued From Page 1
Development hinges on transportation,
future school needs, utilities including po-
table water.
The analysis predicts the majority of de-
velopment in West Hendry will not occur for
another ten years.
Julianne Thomas of the Conservancy of
Southwest Florida was not in favor of trans-
mitting the plan at this time, saying it should
be held up till after the county's TDR plan
is in place. The plan is being reviewed at
this time by the county's Rural Land Ad Hoc
Committee.
Audubon's Pete Quasius said he was
happy for this plan to be be transmitted to
DCA.
The board voted unanimously to do so.
Impact fees
County commissioners opted to wait till
they determine what the school board in-
tends to do about impact fees before voting
on reinstating them as of January 1, 2010, at
50 percent.
Hendry County suspended collection of
impact fees, paid by developers to relieve
the burden of growth on the county, in Janu-
ary 2008. The county continued the suspen-
sion through 2009 in view of the serious
economic downturn. From 2008 through
Oct. 31, 2009, some $938,005.50 have not
been collected, including road and school
impact fees.
A new ordinance will be discussed at the
county commission's next meeting on Dec.
8.
EDC director
Commissioner Tris Chapman com-
plained that the Economic Development
Council (EDC) is still without a director. He
said the process should develop three top
candidates, who should be "pushed" to ac-
cept the position beginning with the number
one choice. If, after 48 hours the candidate
has not accepted the position, the commit-
tee should move on to the next candidate.
From a field of 50 applicants several
months ago, the EDC still has no director.
The committee's choice backed out at the
eleventh hour.
A year of searching has yet to produce a
director for this important group. The EDC is
charged with attracting business to Hendry
County business that could form the nucle-
us of the county's future economic success.
Commissioner Chapman said that "great
people" live or work here and they should
be trained for the position. No high-powered
outsider could do as good a job as a local,
he said.
Commissioner Kevin McCarthy noted
that the county has advertised for the posi-
tion twice and wondered why we haven't
been able to attract the type of candidate we
need.
The Hendry County Commission is the
funding source for the EDC. Director of Spe-
cial Projects Ron Zimmerly has taken on
EDC duties until a director can be found.
Commissioner Karson Turner noted that
hiring a local would reduce turnover. No ac-
tion was taken.
In other business:
Commissioners agreed to add nine plots
to Ridgelawn Cemetery.

Continued From Page 1
well as one toward attracting more
specialty practices to reduce losses
to the kind of out-migration that
sees local residents heading to either
coast.
A Clewiston resident, Mr. Cud-
worth practices what he preaches.
He receives his primary care with
Hendry Regional's Dr. Walter Mitta.
"Why? Because right now my
health is fairly good," he said.
"There's nothing special that I need
that can't be provided here. I trust
Dr. Mitta. He's a good physician."
There is a role for larger hospi-
tals that cater to specialized fields,
but looking at those larger facilities
for all your medical care needs is a
mistake, he says. Smaller hospitals
tend to have lower infection rates,
and the all-important "high touch"
that comforts any patient recovering
from an illness.
"Bigger is better is a fallacy that
isn't always true," he suggests. "If
you need your kidneys transplanted,
you need to go to the larger hospital.
If you have a urinary tract infection,
you need to come to us."
Hemorrhaging finances
He and his board are also faced
with answering tough questions and
operating what hospital literature re-
fers to "by any standard of measure
... one of the area's major charitable
organizations."
The numbers come hard and fast:
In 2006, Hendry Regional saw $6.8
million in uncompensated charges.
In 2007, the number swelled to $9.6
million. One year later, that number
jumped again, to $12.2 million.
"We have people that cannot pay
their bills, which we provide the ser-
vice for charity for free, and then the
people who we believe can pay their
bill, but do not. Those are called bad
debts," said Mr. Cudworth.
During any given year, bad debt
and charity care constitute between
17 and 19 percent of gross revenues
of $24 to $36 million, according to
Mr. Cudworth. To ease the pressure
of total indigent care and bad debt,
county residents pay an ad valorem
tax, but the CEO explains that even
this fell $2 million short of the un-
compensated care the hospital pro-
vided last year.
The figures represent charges
that the Hendry Regional very likely
will never see.
To decrease the burden, the hos-
pital has taken steps to slash the
operating budget -- by $2 million
this fiscal year through a productiv-
ity program that targeted "operating
efficiencies."
"We wanted to make sure we
didn't have too many people in ev-
ery area, but had enough people to
ensure quality care also," he said.
Relying on the federal govern-
ment, the hospital's major source of
reliable payment through Medicaid
and Medicare programs, to help is
one battle. A shaky economy that is
just now showing signs of a recov-
ery is another.
Expansion
In a market that sees operating
expenses going up, ad valorem taxes
going down, and indigent care burn-
ing a hole in the accounting depart-
ment, why would anyone consider
plans for expansion?
Because they are necessary, Mr.
Cudworth said.
Plans for a new emergency room,
laboratory and, officials hope, an
operating room, have been in the
works for a few years now. Emer-
gency care has always been "at the
top of the list" for hospital officials,
and it was decided that Clewiston's
ER needed to be addressed.
What have resulted are plans for
a facility four times larger than the
present ER to be constructed on the
same campus. The total cost for the
new unit is an estimated $12 mil-
lion.
But before the addition can be
built, voters will need to weigh in
through a referendum. Dated for
March 9, the referendum is nec-
essary in light of a constitutional
amendment in Florida that requires
voter approval for any sizeable proj-
ect such as the ER expected to take
longer than a year to finalize.
Essentially, the hospital board
needs approval from voters to
pledge or allocate one mill out of the
2.9 mills it currently assesses in ad
valorem taxes, toward the new facil-
ity. The hospital board has the ability
to increase the taxes to 4 mills, but
has traditionally resisted doing so.
"The board is not going to assess
another mill," said Mr. Cudworth. He
is hopeful that voters will approve
the referendum. "For the last two
years we have been looking very
carefully at our volume projections
and feel that we have the cash flow
to make this happen," he said.
The larger issue remains the con-
struction of a new hospital.
Built in 1950s, Hendry Regional
"is a long way from meeting current
Florida code," and has depreciated
in value to almost zero.
Before the economy was hurled
well into the realm of a recession,
hospital officials had plans to begin
construction of a new hospital in
the year 2012. While some work has
been done and lenders have been
communicating with the hospital
about plans for the new facility, the
project is one that no one on the
hospital board, or at the hospital it-
self, would tread onto lightly.
The estimated cost of a new fa-
cility is between $50 million and $70
million, of which the hospital board
has presently set a cap of $14 million
to borrow.
One of the questions early in
these discussions is where the new
hospital is to be built.
The board looks to its recently
finalized strategic plan for providing
basic healthcare on both sides of
the county, and a replacement hos-
pital where "it makes economical
sense."
Previous projections indicated
the possibility that LaBelle would
become a major population area
through an influx of housing activ-
ity, which would almost guarantee
that the new hospital is built at the
county seat. If the inland port -- a
project to route commercial traffic
and place a central commercial hub
in Clewiston becomes a reality,
however, then logic would dictate
that a new hospital be built on the
same campus that will house the
new emergency room.
Of course, there is a third option,
and that is to have the new hospital
centrally located.
"The question is, where when the
economy changes, would a replace-
ment hospital need to be the most?"
said Mr. Cudworth.
Distressed neighbors
In the meantime, neighboring
Belle Glade has seen the opening of
the Lakeside Regional Medical Cen-
ter, a sprawling complex that was
built to meet the needs of residents
in Western Palm Beach County.
Has the new hospital affected
operations at Hendry Regional? Mr.
Cudworth says no, although some
early discussions between the two
CEOs point to the possibility of pool-
ing coverage areas to entice special-
ized doctors and surgeons to the
Glades.
"We serve two distinctly separate
populations," the CEO said, noting
that Hendry Regional's main areas
of service include Clewiston, South
Bay and Moore Haven; LaBelle also
a secondary service area. "The only
thing we have in common with Belle
Glade is that we both have a crush-
ing level of poverty and uncompen-
sated care."
Returning to the story of the man
with the heart disease, Mr. Cudworth
declares it to be an example of the
hospital's commitment to the com-
munity in light of challenging diffi-
culties.
"We're kind of proud of it. The
important thing is that everybody's
proud of that, and that's why we're
here," the CEO said, before add-
ing with a lighthearted, but pointed
chuckle, "Don't get me wrong, if you
can afford to pay, we're going to re-
quest payment vigorously."

Continued From Page 6
the Blue Devils to 72 total yards in the sec-
ond half and prevented its opponent from
reaching the end zone.
"Coach [Jessie Hester] talked to our de-
fense and told us to calm down at halftime,"
Corbett said. "He told us we need to pres-
sure and holes started opening, sack after
sack."
Pahokee was on a roll in the first half, as
De'Joshua used his speed to torch Glades
Central's defense with a 59-yard touchdown
run in the first quarter.
Then Pickett, who was reportedly sent to
the hospital for a concussion in the second
quarter, followed with a 1-yard touchdown
run to put Pahokee up 14-6 over Glades Cen-
tral.
Right after Pickett's score, Dent took the
kick return 84 yards to the end zone
to cut Pahokee's lead to 14-13.
Glades Central took the lead back in the
second on a 15-yard touchdown run by
Thomas.
Toward the end of the first half, howev-
er, when Glades Central went up for a field
goal, Pahokee blocked it, with Merill Noel
racing 81 yards for a touchdown to put the
Blue Devils up 21-19.
And that was all Pahokee was able to
muster on offense in this year's Muck Bowl.
"I pretty much held back a lot of our
game planning this season," Hester said of
Glades Central's explosive second half.
"We knew Pahokee was big up front, so
we just simply spread our wide receivers
out. Once we put out a form of attack for
those guys, we knew nobody could really
stop it. Our kids got their heads screwed on
in the second half."
Thomas (16-for-21 passing, 382 yards, 3
TD, 1 INT) made just one notable miscue
in the second half an interception thrown
to Pahokee's Zachary Allen at the Pahokee
1-yard line early in the third quarter.
After the game, Pahokee defensive co-
ordinator Rick Lammons took the time to
congratulate Glades Central on a game well
played.
"We wish you guys [Glades Central] the
best of luck and we hope you win state,"
Lammons said as both teams got ready to
pray together after the game.
"Hopefully, we'll meet you there."
Notes: Glades Central (10-0) finished this
year as the Associated Press High School's
No. 1 team in Class 2A, while Pahokee fin-
ished as the No. 3 team in Class 2B.
Glades Central moved up three spots
from No. 20 to No. 17 in the Rivalsl00 na-
tional rankings, while staying put at No. 2 in
this week's Beef O' Brady's all-classification
state poll.
Pahokee (6-4) dropped out of both this
week's RivalslOO and Beef' O Brady's polls
after losing the Muck Bowl to Glades Cen-
tral.
Glades Central will open the Class 2A
playoffs at home tomorrow night against
Cardinal Gibbons, while Pahokee, the Dis-
trict 7-2B runner-up, will be on the road to
play against District 8-2B champion Chami-
nade.
Both first round playoff games will start
at 7:30 p.m.

Hi, we're PNC,
and we're committed to helping Florida businesses do more. That's why we
offer CFO: Cash Flow Options. CFO helps accelerate the collection of receivables
and lowers payment processing costs so cash can keep flowing. That's just one
way we're helping to make sure you have the support system you need when that
opportunity comes knocking at your door.
We're happy to welcome National City to PNC.
