Glades Central gets new head coach


Jessie Hester chosen
to lead football team
in the 2008 season

By Naji Tobias
The Sun
BELLE GLADE -- The big-
gest piece of the Glades Central
football puzzle has been filled
in.
After whittling down all of
the potential candidates for
the coveted head coaching job,
Jessie Hester was simply the
best fit for the program.


It was a long and com-
prehensive search for Willie
Snead's replacement.
That's why Dr. Camille Cole-
man, the school's principal,
formed a diverse committee
to help her with the selection
process.
At the end of the school day
'on Friday, Feb. 1, the school's
students and staff learned that
the committee selected one of
their own homegrown Glades
Central products to coach the
team.
"The committee believes
that Mr. Hester's experience


with the game of football, his
willingness to communicate
with school stakeholders, his
commitment to the commu-
nity and connection with our
student athletes makes him a
great match for us," Dr. Cole-
man said in reference to the
coaching selection.
The new head coach will
be replacing Mr. Snead, who
in three seasons compiled a
36-6 record, including the 2006
Class 3A state championship
- the school's sixth state foot-
ball title.
There are great expectations


Global Warming Competition: The Solution is Right!


INI/Najil Toblas
Dr. Edward Brecker, a Palm Beach Community College science professor, oversaw a
global warming competition entitled, "Focus the Nation." According to the professor,
the concept is currently taking place in colleges and universities throughout the coun-
try in efforts to reduce the ongoing global warming crisis.


INI/Nal Toobias
A global warming poster competition took place at the Dolly Hand Center on Jan. 31.
The first place winner won $50, while second and third place contestants each received
$30 and $15, respectively. From left: Mercedes Taylor first place, Marilyn Amilcar
- second place and Marilyn Diaz third place. Everyone at the event seemed to enjoy

the special guests of that day.


for the 2008 Glades Central
football team, as it is expected
by many across the state to
claim its seventh state champi-
onship.
Also, there has been some
speculation that Glades Central
could begin the 2008 season as
the nation top-ranked team.
In a nutshell, there is a lot
riding on Coach Hester's shoul-
ders.
For 'one, the team will be
bringing back a lot of super-
talented athletes, including ju-
niors Samuel Brown, Antonio
McCloude and Henry Orelus,


who were the student repre-
sentatives in the selection pro-
cess,
It seems as if the players will
not have much of a problem
connecting with Coach Hester,
who was a former Glades Cen-
tral wide receiver.
Coach Hester went on to
play college football at Florida
State University and was one
of a national-record 29 play-
ers from Glades Central to play
professional football.

Bald eagle shot



near South Bay


By Naji Tobias
The Sun
WESTERN PALM BEACH
COUNTY A bald eagle was
reportedly shot and wounded
near Okeelanta Corporation,
about three miles south of
South Bay in January.
According to the Palm
Beach County Sheriff's Of-
fice, an Okeelanta volunteer
discovered the injured bird on
Jan. 27. It was revealed that
the bald eagle suffered a bro-
ken wing.
Not long after the discov-
ery, the Folke Peterson Wild-
life Center, based in Welling-
ton, was contacted.
Elleh Horton, the center's
spokesperson, said that once
the bird was transported to
the facility for observation, a


veterinarian took X-rays that
revealed the damage, which
included metal fragments scat-
tered throughout the body.
"Our veterinarian was
shocked to see on the X-rays
that it had been shot," Ms.
Horton said. "The bald eagle's
left wing was severely broken,
but it's also having difficulty
breathing. The reason for that
is because the bullet also tore
up the bald eagle's trachea."
According to the wildlife
center, the bald eagle was like-
ly shot approximately a week
prior to it being discovered.
It is currently being rehabili-
tated, though it doesn't seem
to be a speedy recovery.
"We did emergency sur-
gery and put a breathing tube

U.S. Sugar honors annual employee award winners


CLEWISTON U.S. Sugar held
its 2007 Annual Awards ceremo-
nies on Jan. 22 with a celebratory
luncheon hosted by the senior
management team at the Clew-
iston Country Club. The annual
awards were presented to a group
of employees who have shown ex-
emplary efforts, contributions and
innovative ideas.
"Our annual employee awards
program honors and rewards em-
ployees for extraordinary contribu-
tions through their efforts in com-
munication, innovation, excellence
and respect," said Ann Marie Pilling,
Human Resource Manager.
The highest honor, the Presi-
dent's Award, was presented to
Mike Irey and Pearl Mai (Technical
Operations) and to Derek Du Plooy
(Sugar Manufacturing). This top
award is presented to an employee
who has demonstrated company
values and a professional approach
to performance excellence recog-
nized throughout the Company.
This is the first time there have been
three recipients of the President's
Award.
The requirements for this award
are: live the values and show un-
questionable character, show
exemplary contributions and ef-
forts on a special project or major
accomplishment, be recognized
as an individual who is an ideal
co-worker, model superior leader-
ship skills and ability, demonstrate
a willingness to "go above and be-
yond" their job to assist others.
In earning the President's
Award, these employees each re-
ceived a US Sugar MasterCard val-
ued at $2,500 and a personalized
crystal statue.
Mike Irey and Pearl Mai received
the award in recognition of their ef-
forts in establishing the laboratory
analytical program and conduct-
ing testing for citrus greening dis-
ease, both internally for Southern
Gardens Citrus and externally for
independent growers' samples. In
its first full year of operations, the
lab processed 33,628 samples. To
put this in perspective, the lab run
by the state ran approximately 8000
tests over a two-year period with a
larger staff. Both Southern Gardens
and the citrus industry at large have
benefited from these efforts.


The other Presidents Award re-
cipient was Derek Du Plooy who
was honored for his work in es-
tablishing and managing the engi-
neering team responsible for the
2006 and 2007 phases of the Break-
through Project. In this effort, Du
Plooy welded together a disparate
group of engineering professionals
and led them to successfully engi-
neer the majority of the new Clew-
iston facility. His strategic planning
efforts enabled the new facility to
start up on time and seamlessly
transfer operation to the new plant.
He also facilitated the Operational
Excellence initiative in Sugar Manu-
facturing and developed a new for-
mat for. annual budgeting.
A number of additional annual
awards were granted focusing on
teamwork, process improvement,
safety, change, leadership and
community service. Each of these
Annual Award recipients receives
a generous US Sugar MasterCard
valued at between $500 and $1,000
plus a personalized crystal statue.
The Excellence in Team Play-
ing Award was earned by Jennifer
Bain from IT. This award has been
designed to recognize an employee
who: promotes the recognition of
teamwork, recognizes the unique

riod, providing excellent customer
service to those involved in the
switch-over.
Bob Cox (IT) received the Excel-
lence in Continuous Work Process
Improvement Award.Mr. Cox de-
veloped an internal, custom-built
program for the Railroad to moni-
tor the railroad cane car fleet. This
replaced a vendor-supplied pro-
gram that was costly and difficult to
use. The RAILS program Cox devel-
oped uses "real time" information
is extremely user friendly and saved
the company nearly $200,000 in an-
nual costs.
The Excellence in Continuous
Work Process Improvement Award

and should observe the following:
A. Available depth can be tem-


porarily reduced by winds.
B. Extra precautions may need
to be taken due to prevailing
weather conditions at any given
moment.
C. Boaters should be aware that
depths could drop at any time.
Route 2 (the Rim Canal) of
the Lake Okeechobee Waterway

Once-a- week watering sufficient for healthy lawn


WEST PALM BEACH -- South
Florida landscapes are accus-
tomed to having less water during
the dry season and can remain
healthy even flourish with
one-day-a-week watering in win-
ter months. New installations will
need additional water for only a
few weeks, while their roots sys-
tems become established.
The South Florida Water Man-
agement District (SFWMD) is re-
minding residents that under the
new one-day-a-week irrigation
restrictions, additional watering
days and times have been allocat-
ed for the establishment of new
lawns and landscapes. A flexible
schedule allows up to 60 days of
"additional watering for .new in-
stallations, ensuring an adequate
establishment period for the vast
majority of common plant spe-
cies.
Residents with fewer than five


irrigated acres can water installa-
tions that have been in place 30
days or less between the hours of
2 a.m. and 8 a.m. on any day ex-
cept Friday. New installations may
be watered between the hours of
2 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Monday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Sat-
urday on days 31-60 after instal-
lation. Residents with more than
five irrigated acres have extended
watering hours between mid-
night and 8 a.m. based on the
same schedule. Residents are en-
couraged to keep a dated receipt
of purchase or other documen-
tation should they be required
to show proof of the installation
date.
"It is an unfortunate public
perception that now is not a good
time to buy plants," said SFWMD
Governing Board Chairman Eric
Buermann. "The, District's water
shortage order provides sufficient


time and flexibility for new instal-
lations to be properly established,
so residents should hot be dis-
couraged from buying new plants
or installing new lawns and land-
scapes. In fact, a number of na-
tive and drought-tolerant species
could be great additions to one's
garden at this time of year."
While voluntary conservation
is encouraged, low-volume irri-
gation systems including drip,
bubble and micro-jet systems that
apply water directly to plant root
zones and do not produce runoff
- save water and may be used at
any time. Watering cans also are
considered low-volume and may
be used anytime. Hand-watering
with one hose fitted with an au-
tomatic shut-off nozzle is allowed
for 10 minutes per day for land-
scape stress relief and to prevent
plant die-off.
Residents also are encouraged


to use proper landscaping and ir-
rigation techniques that can help
use water more efficiently. Shade-
loving shrubs should be planted
under trees, for example, and a
three-inch layer of mulch on all
plant beds can retain moisture for
extended periods. Lawnmower
blades should be kept sharp and
raised to four inches, if possible.
"If we use water wisely, our
residential landscapes can still
look green and healthy even
during once-a-week irrigation re-
strictions," added Carol Ann We-
hle, executive director of the SF-
WMD. "With seasonal rainfall to
help, a sixty-day watering-in pe-
riod should be more than enough
to allow most new installations to
be properly established. We also
encourage the installation of low-
volume irrigation systems, which
can be used anytime and are ideal
for water-loving plants."

Caterpillars to eat invasive plants


WEST PALM BEACH Moth cat-
erpillars with big appetites are the
newest weapon in the biological
battle against a destructive, invasive
plant in South Florida.
The South Florida Water Man-
agement District (SFWMD) in
partnership with the USDA Agricul-
tural Research Service is releasing
a thousand Neomusotima cons-
purcatalis moths at Jonathan Dick-
inson State Park in Martin County.
The offspring of this specialized
moth (caterpillars) are expected to
chew through dense stands of Old
World climbing fern (Lygodium
microphyllum) that are threatening
native plant species.
"We are pleased that this multi-
agency effort to combat invasive
species is taking place at one of our
161 state parks," said Michael Sole,
Secretary of the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection. "The
project, to release the moths, is an-


other example of how the state is
seeking innovative solutions to the
challenge of restoring the South
Florida ecosystem."
Following five years of study and
quarantine at the USDA Agricultur-
al Research Service laboratory in
Davie, the Neomusotima conspur-
catalis moths are being released
into the wilds of South Florida for
the first time. After release at the
park, they will be monitored to de-
termine whether they lay eggs and
develop self-sustaining colonies.
Research has shown that the
caterpillars feed on the invasive Old
World climbing fern but that they
cannot survive in climates where
they could threaten native North
American climbing ferns in the U.S.
The Neomusotima conspurcatalis
moths are native to Australia and
Asia, and were first collected by the
USDA in 1997.
In the last five years, the South


Florida Water Management District
has invested $825,000 in ongoing
studies of biological controls for
climbing fern at the USDA Agricul-
tural Research Service laboratory.
Several other promising insects are
being tested for their ability to target
Old World climbing fern and may
be available for release in the next
few years.
"Biological controls are a pow-
erful tool that we can use to restore
the environment," said SFWMD
Governing Board member Melissa
Meeker. "Naturally spreading in-
sects, like this moth species, can be
used to reach the most inaccessible
areas, reduce the spread of harmful,
invasive plants and restore nature's
balance to the greater Everglades."
The climbing fern is spreading
quickly through Florida's natural
areas, threatening the Florida Ev-
erglades. The fern competes with


native plants for soil and light, often
carpeting large swaths of native
vegetation with dense, green vines
and leaves. It is especially destruc-
tive because the climbing fern in-
vades remote wilderness areas that
are difficult to access or manage
with traditional controls.
In 2007 alone, the District spent
$1.6 million on chemical controls
of climbing fern. Biological con-
trols, such as the Neomusotima
conspurcatalis moth caterpillar, can
help reduce the dependence on
chemicals and manual removal.
The District spends more than
$20 million annually in invasive
species control over a 16-county
area, including 600,000 acres of
public waters, 1 million acres of
Everglades, 2,000 miles of canals,
45,000 acres of constructed wet-
lands and 350,000 acres of conser-
vation land.


Low water levels close 'Lake O' nav-lock to Kissimmee


LAKE OKEECHOBEE -- The
S-65E navigation lock at Lake
Okeechobee and the Kissimmee
River will be closed to navigation
as of Monday, Feb. 4, due to safety
hazards caused by low water lev-
els in the lake. This rnvigation
lock, which is operated by the
South FPlorida Water Management


District, will remain closed until
water levels in Lake Okeechobee
have returned to safe operating
levels.
The level of Lake Okeechobee

School board to consider


domestic partners


WEST PALM BEACH -- The
Palm Beach County School
Board will soon redefine "fami-
ly" in the School District's Leave
of Absence Policy to include em-
ployees' domestic partners and
their children.
"This pro-family policy rec-
ognizing employees' domestic
partners and their children is a
significant step forward," said
Rand Hoch, President of the
Palm Beach County Human
Rights Council.
The Council has been the
leading advocate for domestic
partner benefits in Palm Beach
County for almost twenty years.
The School District of Palm
Beach County has recognized
domestic partners as family
members since 2005, when the
district first offered employees
_ the option of purchasing health
insurance for their domestic
partners. Currently, 46 employ-
ees purchased domestic part-
ner health insurance from the
school district.
Although the district offers
insurance for domestic partners,
it does not allow employees to
purchase health insurance cov-
erage for domestic partners'
children.

The expert who told us about


paper jails and other fictions


By Rev. Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph.D.+
St. Martin's Church, Clewiston
A group of us were asked to
organize a conference and one of
the members said that he knew a
futurologistt." We decided to go
with it; people are always inter-
ested in the future anyway. Our
"expert" came and spoke mainly
about not limiting our possibili-
ties, or "thinking outside of the
box." He cited an example at one
point, telling all who attended the
conference about jails in Japan
being made of paper. He said
this was possible because of the
Japanese respect for boundaries,
and their understanding of the
dignity of barriers. The minister
sitting next to me looked at him
and said "What? You're kidding!"
The presenter said "No, I've read
it before."
My neighbor had spent nine-
teen years in Japan, spoke Japa-
nese, had children married to
Japanese spouses and made
regular visits there and kept in
touch with his Japanese in-laws.
He told the presenter that "May-
be, for some very minor traffic in-
fraction, somebody might remain
kept in a paper-lined room, but
that would be the limit of it." He
was told that it might work when
someone agreed to stay put, but
that the Japanese people aren't
stupid. It seems the presenter got
carried away with his theory and
some obscure inference in some
book was taken as support of his
"crazy" idea. We sent the pre-
senter on his way when the con-


ference fell apart. There was a lot
of laughter about the incident for
some time af-- ,,
terward; agree-
ing that we may
need to "think I
outside of the .
box, but being
careful if the box h,
was made of
rice paper." Re-
cently, there are Samuel S.
a lot of "experts" Thomas
sharing their
ideas about what is wrong with
everything; after all, it's election
time. There are those who feel
compelled to tell others about all
of the problems around us, and
how they know just what to do to
fix them. I've listened to persons
with talents in one field make
pronouncements in others, as if
wisdom was transferable and in-
sights could be plugged in where
needed.
In some instances, they've ig-
nored what others have learned
and know, and at times fly in the
face of plain, common sense.
It happens frequently in church
circles too. I know of a minister
who wanted to "help out" at a
social service agency and who
decided to tell everyone else how
to do their job. He was told not
to come back. The staff there had
years of experience, were quali-
fied by training and practice, and
were dedicated to helping the
less fortunate. The administration
struggled to keep everything run-
ning efficiently and the board of
directors gave lots of volunteer
hours toward keeping the doors


open. Simply put, the minister
didn't know what he was talk-
ing about and didn't take time to
listen. When he told people they
were doing things all wrong, the
Johnny-come-lately obviously
was way off-base.
Ordination doesn't bestow gifts
of unfailing management skills.
Jesus had a dialogue with Nico-
demus (John 31ff) when He was
asked about being born again. Je-
sus talks to him about something
they both know; about how the
wind blows and about how it is
difficult to tell its direction. Jesus
tells him, "Truly, truly I say to you,
we speak of what we know and
bear witness to what we have
seen. (John 3:11)" When the
words ring true, people will listen;
when someone speaks of what he
knows, he has something to offer.
There are times when I wonder
whether people want something
to be true so badly, that they will
insist it must be true even when it
flies in the face of reason or com-
mon sense.
The Lord came to share His
life, live with us fully, die for us.
He spoke with authority because
of it. That adage attributed to the
Indians about "walking a mile in
a man's moccasins before judg-
ing him," would have been wel-
comed by the Lord because it
tells about knowing, really know-
ing before acting.
Something to think about be-
fore we, or anyone else, becomes
an "expert" on matters of faith or
anything else!

Wasting the value of time!


By Jackie Miller,
minister
First Christian Church of
Clewiston
All of us are guilty of wast-
ing time! Let us consider some
simple truths about time which
escape our attention. Let us con-
sider "The Value of Time".
1. Time is God-given. It must
not be wasted. We all have the
same amount of time sixty
minutes to the hour, twenty-four
hours in a day, and seven days
per week. It comes to us from the
hand of God.
2. Time is short. This is what
Paul says in I Corinthians 7:29:
"But this I say, brethren, the time
is short..." Someone has estimat-
ed that in the average life of sev-
enty years, time would be used
up as follows: 3 years spent in ed-
ucation, 8 years spent in amuse-
ments, 6 years at the dinner table,
5 years in transportation, 4 years
in conversation, 14 years ih work,
3 years in reading, 24 years sleep-
ing, and 3 years in convalescing.
It is said the person who attends


a ninety minute religious service
each Sunday and who prays ten
minutes each morning would be
giving only 10 months out of sev-
enty years.
3. Time is uncertain. "For what
is your life? It is even a vapor, that
appeareth for a little time, and
then vanisheth away" (James
4:14). Yesterday is like a cancelled
check you can't spend it again.
Tomorrow is like a promisory
note you can't spend it yet. To-
day is all the cash that you have
- spend it well because it deter-
mines you eternal destiny.
4. Time must not be wasted.
Wasted hours never return. Time
is one commodity that cannot
be replaced. The clock of time
is wound but once and no man
has the power, to tell just when
the hands will stop at late or early
hour, to lose one's wealth is sad,
indeed. To lose one's health is
more, but to lose one's soul is
such a loss that no one can re-
store. Now is the only time that
you own, live, love, toil with a
will; place no faith in tomorrow,
for the clock may then be still.


To youth, the wise man said,
"Remember now thy Creator in
the days of thy youth, while the
evil days come not, nor the years
draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I
have no pleasure in them." (Ec-
cles. 12:1)
5. Time is to be used as God's
directs. Jesus, at a very early age
said, "I must be about my Father's
business." He then grew in four
ways: In wisdom (intellectually),
In stature (physically), In favor
with God (spiritually) and In favor
with man (socially). Jesus said
that His reason for coming was
"to seek and to save that which
was lost." In the Sermon on the
Mount he instructed His follow-
ers: "But seek ye FIRST the king-
dom of God and His righteous-
ness, and all these things (what
we need to keep body and soul
together) shall be added unto
you." (Matthew 6:33). Jesus said,
"My meat is to do the Will of Him
that sent Me." The Apostle Peter
wrote, "He left us an example.that
we should follow in His steps."


The incredible power of a woman


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist Church,
Clewiston
Men, the secret is out, if it ever
was a secret. Women can have
incredible power over us. Before
you "hoo haw" me, let me share
that most guys can relate to the
trauma of trying to work up the
courage to just call a girl up and
ask her for a simple date. The
comic strip "Luan" is currently
doing a series on this man dilem-
ma. There are several advertise-
ments on TV which make light of
a guy rehearsing the macho tone
he was going to use on the phone
when he called this girl to ask her
on a second date. The reality is
that there have been a number of
women who were not asked out
because the man chickened out.
Whether we like to admit it or
not, a woman has this mind-bog-
gling power to make a man feel
very big inside or very small. I
have seen a 300 pound manly
man totally cower in front of a
petite 95 pound woman. What
women sometimes don't under-
stand is that their own happiness
may depend on how they use this
tremendous God-given power.
Proverbs 14 states that a wise
woman builds her house, but the


foolish one tears hers down with
her own hands.
The woman of Proverbs 31 is
one who clearly
builds up her
man and "is
worth far more
than rubies."
"The heart of
her husband
trusts in her'
She does him
good and not John
evil all the days Hicks
of her life. Her
husband is known in the gates.
Her children rise up and bless her,
her husband also, and he praises
her."
The implication is that the man
is highly regarded in the commu-
nity largely because of the kind of
woman his wife is. I believe there
is some truth to the saying that
behind every successful man is
a woman helping make him so. I
used to share with one of my col-
leagues that I thought that one of
the best things about his ministry
was his wife. I can say the same
about me now because of the
wonderful woman I'm married
to. God is good and I am blessed.
Proverbs also talks about a
woman who tears down her


Every



Wi e
Voice






Counts.


house with her own hands. Up
front, I don't think any woman in-
tends for this to happen, but in her
frustration, she focuses on what
the man in her life is doing wrong
much more than what he's doing
right.-She doesn't realize what her
criticism and attacks do. In trying
to nag and push him to take the
leadership he should be taking,
she imay actually be causing him
to retreat. And the more dominat-
ing and controlling and nagging
and critical she becomes, the less
the chances he will ever be all he
ought to be and what she needs
for him to be.
With Valentines' Day coming
up, there is a lot of talk about
what we men need to do for the
women in our lives. We can't tell
or show them enough times that
we love them. But there is also the
responsibility that women should
have for men. We thrive when we
are uplifted and honored.
Inside most of us men is an
individual who can blossom or
wither, depending in part on the
godly wisdom of a woman who
loves him. That woman, in the life
of any man, has incredible power
to build him up or tear him down;
to make him or to break him

Drug bust and


sting in Belle Glade


PBSO makes
36 total arrests

By Naji Tobias
The Sun
BELLE GLADE The streets of
the city of Belle Glade have just
gotten a little bit cleaner.
According to the Palm Beach
County Sheriff's Office Narcotics
Unit, 36 arrests have been made
in connection to a major drug net-
work in the area.
Dubbed 'Operation Wild Wild
West,' undercover agents from
the PBSO Narcotics Division made
approximately 40 purchases of co-
caine and marijuana from street-
level dealers in the Glades region,
according to a PBSO release.
The arrests were made on Jan.
25 as a culmination of two phases
in the investigation, including a
reverse sting operation, which be-
gan several months.


According to Sgt. Anthony
Torella, of the arrests made in the
drug bust, 22 of them were for ex-
isting arrest warrants for a variety
of drug charges, with eight more
coming from the sting operation.
The sergeant added that the re-
maining six arrests were made as
a result of 'fresh' arrests, meaning
in the course of trying to identify
the suspects, arrests were made
on new charges.
Investigators revealed that
many of the drug sales occurred
near a variety of schools and
churches throughout the area.
Without being specific about
each arrest, Sgt. Torella said that
the 36 suspects faced a variety of
misdemeanor and felony charges,
which included drug sales.
"Anytime we take drugs off the
streets in any community, it is a
good thing," Sgt. Torella said.
Staff Writer Naji Tobias can be
reached at ntobias@newszap.com.

Fin is., str. Highlights from last week's games
I ',. '


INI photos/Naji Tobias

Game over
Glades Central Raiders senior guard Deandre Holley, who fin-
ished with a game-high 11 assists and is Palm Beach County's
assists leaders at 10.4 passes a game, is also a clutch shoot-
er as he made five key free throws in the closing seconds of a
62-51 victory over the Wellington Wolverines on Jan. 29. For
more photos, please visit http://photos.newszap.com.


Classic finish
What will likely be forever remembered in Pahokee as a clas-
sic finish, Pahokee Blue Devils junior shooting guard Dex-
ter Holmes sent the tightly packed crowd into a frenzy with
this monster one-handed dunk with less than two minutes in
the regular season finale game against the archrival Glades
Central Raiders. Dexter, who finished with 19 points and 10
rebounds, helped lead the Blue Devils to a stunning 53-51
comeback victory over the Raiders on Feb. 2. Glades Central
finished the regular season with a 13-7 record and Pahokee
finished with an 11-10 regular season record. With Glades
Central focusing in on the Class 4A playoffs and Pahokee
doing the same in Class 3A, both teams hope to reach their
ultimate goals: to win their respective state championships.
Best wishes to both teams in the playoffs!


The putback shot
Glades Central sophomore Clive Wolford puts in an easy
bucket to tie the game up, 50-50 with four minutes left in
the fourth quarter of the Jan. 29 game against the Welling-
ton Wolverines. For more photos, please visit http://photos.
newszap.com.


Big time trey
Glades Central Raiders junior Rantavious Wooten makes a
pivotal three pointer with 20 seconds left in the first half to
put them up, 31-22 on the Wellington Wolverines. The Raiders
won the Jan. 29 contest, 61-52.


Palm Beach County's
leading rebounder
In a 62-51 victory over the Wellington Wolverines, Glades
Central Raiders senior forward Eddie Poole snagged one
of his game-high 31 rebounds in the second quarter. Eddie
also added 17 points in a dominating effort. With the Raiders
at a 13-6 record as of Jan. 29, Eddie eventually finished the
regular season with 16.3 points per game and a Palm Beach
County leading 22.5 boards per game. He helped the Class
4A team finish the regular season with a 14-7 record heading
into the Class 4A playoffs.


Powering up
In the third quarter of a classic match-up between the Glades
Central Raiders and the Pahokee Blue Devils, Raiders sopho-
more guard Antwon Chisolm scored two of his team-leading
17 points to put Glades Central up, 34-24. It seemed as if
Glades Central would actually win big in the Feb. 2 regular-
season finale, but Pahokee pulled off an amazing comeback
in a 53-51 victory.


The lay-in
In a game that ended in a stunning finish, down seven points
with 3:19 in the fourth quarter, Pahokee Blue Devils senior
point guard Antavious Wilson lays in a basket to pull them
within striking distance of the Glades Central Raiders, a 50-
45 deficit. It would eventually be made up as Pahokee won
the Feb. 2 regular season-finale, 53-51.


GC Cheerleaders
The Glades Central Cheerleaders have likely been the big-
gest fans of the Raiders basketball throughout the season
as they all cheered on to a very solid 14-7 record to finish
the regular season. Here, the cheerleaders are just hanging
out and enjoying halftime at the Glades Central-Wellington
contest on Jan. 29.


Introductory prices are irresistible.

FOR PLANS AND SPECS,
Maintenance contracts do not require a contractor to have a certificate of qualifica-
tion. If deemed necessary by the Department, certain maintenance contracts will
contain specific requirements for maintenance contractor eligibility,
In order for the Department to have the Information required to determine a bidder's
current capacity, it is necessary that the bidder submit on the day of the letting, a
Certification of Current Capacity that shall be executed under oath and be accom-
panied and supported by a Status of Contracts on Hand Report. These docu-
ments must be Included in at least one proposal for each letting that the
contractor submits bids. Failure to submit these documents may result In a de-
termination that all bids submitted by the contractor for that letting are non-re-
sponsive or irregular and not to be considered.

STATE OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE PERMIT
The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its intent to issue an
environmental resource permit (File No. 0264526-001) to the applicants, Mr. Her-
bert Kalllert, as Personal Representative ot the Estate of Karl A. Kalert, Herbert Kah-
lert, Port Mayaca Lake Estates, LLC, applied on April 19, 2006 to the Department of
Environmental Protection or a permit/water quality certification for a surface water
management system for a limestone mine. The property, owned by the applicants,
consists of approximately 161.25 acres and contains land disturbedby mining prior
to 1989. There are 36.37 acres of wetlands and 42.54 acres of open water on site
with 82.34 upland acres with exotics or disturbed with mining spoil. .
The land cover and uses within the 161-acre project area consists of; 28.05 acres
of wetlands forested with exotics, 19.01 acres of uplands vegetated by Brazilian
Pepper, 16.49 acres of shrubby wetlands, 30.14 acres of open water, 3.24 acres of
ditches, 0.99 of an acre of herbaceous marsh, and 63.33 acres of spoil area. The
project area is flat and karstic with ditches along the property boundary that lead to
the onsite borrow pits. Stormwater is absorbed through the soil and limestone, or is
directed through the ditches and captured in the borrow pits.
The limerock matrix will not be blasted for extraction and the extracted material will
be processed on site. The ground elevation varies between 15 + and 17 + feet Na-
tional Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), the average ground water elevation is ap-
proximately 12 feet NGVO and the pit depth will be approximately -15 feet NGVD.
The maximum depth of mining is expected to be approximately 30 feet below exist-
ing grade, which is approximately 27 feet below the average water level. During the
construction phase, stormwater up to the 25-year, 72-hour storm event will be con-
tained on site by a perimeter berm and runoff will be directed to the mine pit. The
berm will be kept mowed (as necessary) and routinely inspected for signs of ero-
sion. Any erosion will be repaired immediately.
No impervious surfaces are proposed with the project. Dewatering will not be used
with mining operations, which should limit hydrologic effects on all adjacent proper-
ty. The project identifies an excavation area of 57.59 acres that is comprised of
12.77 acres of exotic hardwood wetlands, 13.94 acres of shrubby wetlands, 0,99 of
an acre of herbaceous marsh, and 29.89 acres of open water to be excavated by the
proposed project. The project also identifies the backfilling of 3.0 acres of ditches,
15.09 acres of exotic hardwood wetlands, 2.55 acres of shrubby marsh, and 0,25
of an acre of open water. Approximately 4.75 acres of shrubby, canopy wetlands
and 17,34 acres ofhetrbaceous wetlands will be created around the mine pit as par-
tial mitigation for proposed wetland impacts. For additional mitigation a Conserva-
tion Easement wil be placed over the created littoral zone, and an associated 25-
foot upland buffer surrounding the full perimeter of the reclaimed lake and shoreline.
The Conservation Easement will Include approximately 4.75 acres of forested wet-
land, 17.34 acres of shallow marsh located within the littoral zone, and approxi-
mately 4.63 acres of adjacent planted upland buffer, for a total estimated area of
26.72 acres,
The post-reclamation land use within the project area will consist of lakes with lit-
toral wetlands surrounded by upland buffers of grass and trees. The project will re-
sult In approximately 69.76 acres of open water In one single, large, isolated
waterbody surrounded by 4.75 acres of planted forested wetlands, 17.34 acres of
planted herbaceous wetlands, 1.21 acres of planted forested uplands, and 67.94
acres of planted herbaceous uplands. A setback of 300 feet from the property line
will be established where no excavation will occur. In accordance with the manda-
tory limestone mine reclamation requirements of rule 62C 36.008, FA.C., access
wilt be controlled and the perimeter of the lake will be reclaimed with littoral zone
wetlands. The construction phase of this permit will last 20 years. Prior to the expi-
ration of the permit, the applicant will need to apply for an extension of the construc-
tion phase if required activities are not completed by this time.
The project area is located on the east side of US Route 441/98, just south of the
Palm Beach County Line, in Section 36, Township 40 South, Range 37 East, Palm
Beach County, Flo da.

Occasional fasting may be good for the body


The Christian season of Lent
starts on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 6),
and for some that brings periods
of fasting. Fasting is commonly
used in many religions and a way
to purify the body and the spirit.
Medical research indicates
that occasional fasting might be
good for your health. A study by
the American Heart Association
found that those who routinely
fast one day a month may lower
their risk of heart disease. Fast-
ing is a way to detoxify the body
and to give the digestive system a
rest.
It's no surprise that fasting
is the most beneficial to those
whose health issues are from
overeating.


Fasting is not for everyone.
Young children, who need proper
nutrition to grow, should not fast.
Pregnant women and nursing
mothers should not fast. Neither
should anyone whose immune
system is'already compromised
by disease. If you are on any pre-
scription medication or under a
doctor's care for any medical con-
dition, consult your doctor before
starting a fast. And of course dia-
betics and those with hypoglyce-
mia should consult their doctors
before considering any change in
their diet.
Fasting usually means restrict-
ing intake of solid food. Fasts used
to detoxify the body usually in-
clude drinking fruit juices as well


as water. Generally, this is safer
than drinking water alone while
fasting because juices maintain
the body's balance of vitamins
and minerals.
Some researchers believe fast-
ing is nature's way of resting the
body. Ope theory is that fasting
resensitizess" the body's cells to
glucose and insulin. Another the-
ory is that eating less reduces the
production of "free radicals." Free
radicals are pieces of cells that are
leftover from natural body func-
tions. If the body does not purge
itself of these waste materials,
they can damage other cells and
contribute to disease.
For most healthy adults, an
occasional day of fasting can be


beneficial to their health. Fasting
longer than one day is more com-
plicated. Any time you don't eat
a healthy, balanced diet, you run
the risk of nutritional deficiency. If
you restrict solid food, even if you
are careful to make sure you con-
sume all the nutrients you need in
liquid form, you may not be con-
suming enough fiber.
Before making a change
in your diet or exercise plan,
consult your doctor. This is
especially important if you
are on any prescription med-
ications. Some drugs interact
badly with foods that would
otherwise be considered
"healthy."


Glades General nurses honored for dedication


BELLE GLADE -- When two
veteran nurses began their nurs-
ing careers at a newly expanded
Palm Beach County hospital in
the Glades, Lyndon Johnson was
president and the year was 1968.
Belle Glade residents Winnie Jack-
son and Geraldine Bailey were
recently honored for 40 years of
service to Glades General Hospi-
tal and its patients. Surrounded
by colleagues on the morning of
her anniversary at the hospital,
Ms. Jackson was presented with a
nursing charm during a skills ses-
sion. Chief Nursing Officer Mary
Weeks praised Winnie Jackson
saying, "Winnie Jackson was here
when I arrived more than three
decades ago and she is one of the
foundations of this hospital. With
a strong will and proven leader-
ship, she has mentored countless
nurses while her tireless devotion
to her patients exemplifies the very
best of the nursing profession."
The charge nurse for the medi-
cal surgery and pediatric unit, Ms.
Jackson first joined the Glades
General staff as a nursing assis-
tant in 1967 after having received
her training at the hospital. While
working in that capacity for 12
years, Ms. Jackson continued her
education in the Licensed Practical
Nurse Program and, upon gradu-
ating, practiced as an LPN for a de-
cade before attending Palm Beach
Community College in Belle Glade
where she attained her Registered
Nurse degree. Ms. Jackson, along
with other members of the nurs-
ing staff, participates in a program
that places Palm Beach Commu-
-- nity College nursing students in
the hospital to gain clinical experi-
ence. Working side-by-side nurses
like Ms. Jackson, these students
receive valuable insight into their
chosen profession.
Geraldine Bailey began work-
ing as a nursing assistant in 1967.
She went to the technical school in
Belle Glade and became an LPN,


then continued her education and
became an RN. She has worked in
many capacities, including pediat-
rics and medical surgery, obstet-
rics, and as a house supervisor on
the night shift. Bailey is a resident
of Belle Glade and has a grandson
playing football for the University
of Miami. She works in a support-
ive role in all areas of the hospital.
According to Mary Weeks, "I have
great appreciation for her dedica-
tion to nursing and to Glades Gen-
eral. Gerrie Bailey was a nursing
assistant when I worked as a new
nurse my first year out of school.
She was very helpful to me at that
time and has continued to be a
wonderful mentor to the nurses
who have worked with her."
Now, four decades after their
nursing careers began, Win-
nie Jackson and Gerri Bailey are
excited to see that construction
of the new $73 million regional
hospital and medical campus in
the Glades is well underway. The
Health Care District of Palm Beach
County has committed $50 million
toward building the technologi-
cally advanced facility, which will
replace Glades General Hospital.
The hospital will be the first in
Palm Beach County to feature all-
private patient rooms. The Glades
Healthcare Foundation (www.
gladeshealthcare.org) is leading
the fund raising campaign to com-
plete the project and those inter-
ested in more information can call
(561) 833-8999.
Glades General Hospital CEO
David Zechman noted, "As we
raise funds and build a new re-
gional hospital serving the west-
ern communities that border Lake
Okeechobee, it is important to re-
member that bricks and mortar are
only a small part of what makes a
hospital great. It takes people like
Winnie and Geraldine'who never
waiver in their commitment to this
community and the people who
live and work here."

Deputy faces child abuse charges Profile


By Naji Tobias
The Sun
BELLE GLADE A Palm Beach
County Sheriff's Office deputy
is facing child abuse charges in
connection with an alleged physi-
cal confrontation with two Eagle
Academy recruits.
According to an affidavit pro-
vided by the PBSO, video camera
feeds showed that on Oct. 18,
41-year-old Willie C. Home, a for-
mer deputy and Eagle Academy
supervisor at Charlie Bay, caused
noticeable mental and physical
anguish on at least two victims.
The vomiting and
spitting incident
While being interviewed by
investigators, the victim acknowl-
edged that he had behavioral
problems prior to and during his
time at the Eagle Academy.
Upon entering the Charlie Bay
facility, the victim stated that he
was coughing due to an asthma
attack, with the coughing causing
him to vomit, the statement said.
The victim revealed to detec-
tives that he pointed to the bath-
room, while alerting the defen-
dant. After the defendant said no,
the victim sat on his footlocker
near his bunk, according to the
sworn statement.
Later in the interview, the vic-
tim stated he wiped the vomit off
his hand onto the floor in front of


his footlocker. The victim was or-
dered by the defendant the clean
up the vomit using the seat of his
pants, the affidavit revealed.
After returning to a seated po-
sition, the victim told investigators
that the defendant threatened to
hit him. Almost immediately after
that, the victim told detectives the
defendant started "like choking
me kind of on my bunk."
The victim described to inves-
tigators that the defendant bent
him over backwards over the
bunk and as the defendant held
him down by a shoulder, the
victim's forearm was across his
throat, with the defendant push-
ing it down.
The victim told investigators
that he suffered great pain, cou-
pled with the fact that his back
was across the metal rail.
The victim revealed to'inves-
tigators that he later sat up and
vomited by the side of his bed.
After being accused of spitting at
the defendant, the victim told de-
tectives that the defendant wiped
up the vomit from the floor and
rubbed it in his face.
It was revealed in the video
camera feed that the defendant
performed the act on multiple
occasions, followed by the victim
being slammed into the ground.
The camera feed also shows
the defendant put his knee on the
victim's back, while holding both
of the victim's hands in the pro-


cess.
Subsequently, according to the
affidavit, the video showed a drill
instructor from Alpha Bay hav-
ing a brief conversation with the
defendant, with the victim being
released and exiting the area of
the incident.
Later into the video feed, the
affidavit revealed that the defen-
dant was observed walking up to
the victim's bunk,. while stripping
the bed and throwing all of the
victim's possessions at the bay.
The defendant reportedly was
seen in the video spitting on the
victim's bunk and returning short-
ly thereafter to wipe it off.
Abuse during
alternate training
The investigation continued
with another Eagle Academy re-
cruit disclosing an abuse that oc-
curred outside of Charlie Bay the
week of Oct. 8.
After being asked by detectives
if there were issues with any drill
instructors, the victim revealed
that he problems with the defen-
dant.
The victim told investigators
that the he felt like he didn't have
to participate in the scheduled al-
ternate training session. The vic-
tim revealed that after refusing to
participate, the defendant got in
his face and gave him 10 seconds
to participate.


The 13-year-old told investiga-
tors that after the training session,
the defendant picked him up by
his shirt, lifted him off the ground
and walked him over to a stack of
concrete bags.
The victim revealed in the af-
fidavit to detectives that the defen-
dant pushed him into the concrete
bags, causing him back pain.
As the defendant continued to
hold the victim off the ground, in-
vestigators were told that the de-
fendant was generally using the
action as a scare tactic.
It was revealed also that the
victim was initially afraid to tell
anyone about the incident be-
cause he felt that' "Corporal Home
would go crazy."
"I think he has an anger prob-
lem, personally," the victim told
detectives in relation to the inci-
dent.
S All of the information pre-
sented to the investigators was
confirmed by 20 other Eagle
Academy recruits from Charlie
Bay and Alpha Bay. It was more
than enough to place the charges
on the former Eagle Academy in-
structor, who was also charged
with one count each of fraud and
official misconduct.
The defendant was booked
into jail on Jan. 31 and released
on bond the same day.

"We feel every teacher fol-
lowing the school-wide plan
allows for continuity and stabil-
ity throughout the building," Ms.
Johnson said. "The 'Capturing
Kids' Hearts. program allows ev-
ery teacher to build relationships
with our students."
Ms. Johnson was less than
pleased when it was revealed last
year that the elementary school
received a 'D' rating. Now, with
the discipline plan in place, she
believes it will help the school
reach its goal at least a 'B' rat-
ing when the FCAT school grade
comes out this June.
At the beginning of the school
year, each student had to sign a
social contract, which consists
of such elements as trust and
showing respect among others.
With that, the teachers have been

Program is currently recruiting

dents on a variety of team build-
ing concepts.
To take the relationship build-
ing concept a step further, the
teachers have even volunteered to
mentor their students throughout
the school year, on and off-cam-
pus, according to Ms. Johnson.
"The kids now feel very good
about themselves, with their
learning taking off tremendously,"
Ms. Johnson said. "The behavior
problems are now at a minimum.
Everyone loves the program."
As a result, Ms. Johnson was
proud to say that test scores have
increased, particularly the Fall
Diagnostic Test. After the testing,
teachers and administrators met
and planned a variety of strategies
for deficiencies in reading, math,
writing and science all areas
that will be focused on for the up-
coming FCAT examinations.
In preparation for the FCAT
exams, teachers have been con-
ducting curriculum meetings for
reading, math, writing and sci-
ence. Once a month, the teach-
ers and administrators share best

by the Migratory bird Treaty Act
and the Bald and Golden Eagle

for the third, fourth and fifth grade

It may seem like a daunting
task for the elementary school
students, but if they do well
enough on their exams, a host of
incentives are on the way.
According to Ms. Johnson, all
students who made gains in their

and have attended after-school
tutorials will be entered into a

cash.

with their children for at least
30 minutes and make sure their
homework is completed," Ms.
Johnson said. "Reading is very
important for our children if they
want to excel in life."
The biggest incentive of all will
be enjoyed by the students who
riake the most FCAT/diagnostic

a trip to Nickelodeon Studios in
Orlando.
The school trip, which will
include an overnight stay at the
Nickelodeon hotel, is slated to

the fact they genuinely know that
I care for them.
Question: What do you be-
lieve needs to be done to have
success this year at Pahokee Mid-
dle-Senior High School?
Mr. Aronson: We needed
the staff and students to buy in
to what we believe they can do
to be successful. We believe we
could be an 'A' school at some
point. I know we won't be a 'D'
school again and I would like for
our school to reach for the stars
and become that 'A' school this'
year. Other schools have done it
in the past and I don't see why we
couldn't do the same.
Question: What does the
motto, 'Good to Great,' mean to
you?
Mr. Aronson: To me, we al-
ready have in pace good students
and staff. With the right direction,
we can all be great together.
"% Question: How'would de-
scribe your principal, Mr. Ariel
Alejo?
Mr. Aronson: Mr. Alejo is a
young, charismatic and energetic
leader, whose staff is feeding off
his energy. Mr. Alejo has been
a mentor to me in probably too
many ways to say. I like the di-
rection that he's trying to get our
school to reach.
Question: Throughout the
course of your life, who do you
consider as your biggest inspira-
tions?
Mr. Aronson: My parents,
definitely. My mother and father
were always hard on me. They
made sure that I understood the
importance of getting a quality
education. My mom was a'middle
school teacher at Coral Springs
Middle School in Broward County
and my dad is a Broward County
police officer. When I was in mid-
dle school, we had corporal pun-
ishment 1 got paddled in middle
school. My mom taught at my
middle school. My dad made me
understand that I would not em-
barrass my mother at her school
again. I got paddled twice before
I learned what my dad was trying
to tell me.
Question: How would you
describe yourself as a student
who once went to high school?
Mr. Aronson: I was like a lot
of kids here who have a lot of
intelligence, but are afraid to let
their peers see that. Where I grew
up in Coral Springs, you didn't
want to be labeled as the 'smart
kid.' I played four sports -- foot-
ball, soccer, basketball and base-
ball -- in high school and wanted
to be known as an athlete more
than as a scholar. My best sport
was soccer but was my least fa-
vorite of the four I played in. Bas-
ketball was my favorite sport as


a kid, which I had to give up for
soccer.
Question: What morals and
values did you learn while grow-
ing up?
Mr. Aronson: I think one of
the biggest things I learned is that
you always need to respect other
people. When you respect them,
then they will respect you. The
biggest thing for me is to treat
people with respect. The way I
treat people will always come
back to me.
Question: It won't be long
before this year's senior class will
be transitioning to the college lev-
el. How was your transition from
high school to college?
Mr. Aronson: I wouldn't say
it was easy. In retrospect, I wish
I could have taken more advan-
tage of my high school educa-
tion. I should have spent more
time studying and doing my
homework than running out to
the practices and playing video
games. I was like the average kid
in high school. I didn't apply my-
self. That's the honest truth.
Question: Looking back over
your childhood, do you have any
regrets?
Mr. Aronson: I don't have
any regrets because I'm happy
with the person I am today. I want
to be a mentor to all of the stu-
dents here at the school. I think
I have been able to reach out to
a lot of the students in my time
here.
Question: Is there any advice
you have for the students, staff,
and community?
Mr. Aronson: I would just
ask that the staff and students
keep working hard and that the
community continues to give us
their support. With that, we will
go from good to great.
Question: What irks you?
Mr. Aronson: I'm a pretty
laid-back person that doesn't get
irked very easily.
Question: What makes you
happy?
Mr. Aronson: What would
make me happy is to see all our
efforts pay off. When I do some-
thing for the kids, I like to see
the appreciation on their faces.
What makes me the most happy
is spending time with my family
- my wife and my two little boys.
Question: On your off-time,
describe some of your hobbies
that you like to do.
Mr. Aronson: I like to do any-
thing sports-related. I like to run,
read and work on crossword puz-
zles. It is a great way to increase
your vocabulary.
Question: What is your all-
time favorite quote?
Mr. Aronson: "I am what I
am because of what we are."
