Shooting rampage leaves man dead


Multiple shots fired
near loading ramp
leaves another man
wounded

By Naji Tobias
The Sun
BELLE GLADE Fred Robert-
son Jr. woke up from his bed at
6:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23,
with some devastating news
from his grandmother.
He found out that his best
friend, 23-year-old Rogers Jer-


maine Hughley, was tragically
shot at the loading ramp just
three hours earlier.
It was like waking up to a
nightmarish dream, only to find
out that it actually happened.
"Rogers told me that he just
came home," Fred remembered
earlier this week. "I was in Paho-
kee that night and when I came
home around two .in the morn-
ing, I went to sleep."
Fred recalled that he rode
through the loading ramp short-
ly before 2 a.m., only to find out
that the area was empty, accord-
ing to him. As Fred got ready to


leave his Belle Glade home on
that fateful morning he decided
to take another look at the load-
ing ramp area.
"By the time I got back to the
loading ramp, I didn't see any-
thing," Fred said solemnly, as he
tried to fight back tears.
According to information pro-
vided by the Palm Beach County
Sheriff's Office (PBSO), depu-
ties received a call that multiple
people were shot at the intersec-
tion of Southwest Avenue C and
Southwest Fifth Street the loca-
tion of the loading ramp.

There were 175 students from PEPPI Head Start in Belle Glade, 3 and 4 year olds who

said witnesses stated that they
heard gunshots coming from
the northeast corner of loading
ramp around 3:30 a.m.
It was revealed that 23-year-
old Patrick Jermaine Gray, of 416
S.W Third St. in Belle Glade, fell
to the ground in the roadway as
a result of the gunshots.
Officials said the victim was
transported to Delray Commu-
nity Hospital, where he was
treated for approximately five
gunshots to his thigh, back and
buttocks.
The shooting incident proved


to be fatal for Rogers, a Belle
Glade man. The victim suffered
multiple gunshot wounds and
was taken to Glades General
Hospital by an unknown driver,
where he was pronounced dead
upon arrival, officials said.
Marion Marie Hodges, the
victim's mother, last saw her
son on Feb 16. Ms. Hodges said
that the victim had just returned
home from Tallahassee, where
he had stayed with a friend on
weekdays.

Initially, there were five
people that were considered as
part of the golf course's advi"
sory committee. But each comL

five more individuals to the list.
As a result, Mayor Donald

S To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me
O When I am gone, release me; let me go,
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears;
be happy that we had so many years.
Igave you my love-you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown;
But now, it is time I traveled on alone.
So, grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories with your heat.


I won't be far away for life goes on;
so if you need me, call, and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me I'll be near,
and if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
all of my love around you soft and dear,
and then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and wave,
"WELCOME HOME"

place for teens


BELLE GLADE -- Teens at
Boys & Girls Club of Belle Glade
will finally have a positive place
to hang out and call their own,
thanks to a joint venture with
Boys & Girls Clubs of America
(BGCA) and Rent-A-Center, Inc.
Teenagers are a tough group
to impress, but the new "RAC
Rooms" will help attract more
teens by furnishing a cool and
much needed new teen center
at the Club.
"Across the country, millions
of teens grow up with no place
to go after school," said Mary T.
O'Connor. "Many of them have
limited contact with positive
peers or caring adults. And all
too frequently, these young peo-
ple resort to drugs and violence
as an alternative to boredom.
The RAC Room will be a com-
fortable place for teens to enjoy,
while exposing them to alterna-
tives to the many negative influ-
ences around them."
The Boys & Girls Club of Belle
Glade RAC Room is one of 20
such centers being furnished by
Rent-A-Center this year. Based on
'its needs, tach Club will select
.several thousand dollars worth


of merchandise from a menu
of items, such as sofas, chairs,
tables, computers, computer
desks, lamps, TVs, TV stands,
game systems and CD players.
Rent-A-Center also guarantees
a one-year maintenance service
on all merchandise provided.
The Rent-A-Center RAC Room
program awards approximately
$200,000 in merchandise yearly
to 20 clubs through 2010.
The Rent-a-Center Room will
be the learning Center at the
Belle Glade Teen Center. The
Club serves 115 youth on a daily
basis and is open between the
hours of 3-8 p.m. This event will
be held at 7 p.m. so that our
Club members' families will be
able to attend.
"Rent-A-Center is honored to
be a part of this initiative with
Boys & Girls Clubs of America,"
said Mark Speese, Rent-A-Center
chairman and CEO. "By creating
an inviting atmosphere, the Boys
& Girls Clubs of Belle Glade RAC
Room will offer teen members
an experience to look forward
to and an incentive to stay in the
Club."

District employees,
family, and friends
participated in
Race For the Cure@

WEST PALM BEACH -- Just
over five years ago, Kathie Mor-
ris, .a finance manager at the
South Florida Water Manage-
ment District, was diagnosed
with breast cancer. To show
support for Mrs. Morris, fellow
co-worker and friend Claudia
Kugler organized the first cancer
support group among District
employees, then dubbed "Ka-
thie's Friends," to participate in
the 2003 Komen South Florida
Race For the Cure@. Ironically,
Mrs. Kugler herself was diag-
nosed with breast cancer less
than two months later. The
medical battles Mrs. Morris and
Mrs. Kugler fought to heal them-
selves inspired other District
employees, family, friends and
survivors to join the fight against
breast cancer. The 55 District
employees who participated in
the 2003 walk raised more than
$1,100. For the 2008 Komen
South Florida Race for the Cure,
the SFWMD team numbered
440 members, more than any
other state or local government


agency, and a series of fundrais-
ers organized by District staff
helped raise a total of $28,000
for the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation.
The Komen Foundation to-
day formally recognized the
SFWMD for having the largest
governmental team entry at the
2008 Komen South Florida Race
For the Cure. It is the fifth con-
secutive year the agency has re-
ceived this award.
"I am so proud of our em-
ployees," said Carol Ann We-
hie, Executive Director of the
South Florida Water Manage-
ment District. "Each year, our
staff approaches this fundrais-
ing effort with greater resolve
than in the previous year, and
the consistent, amazing results
demonstrate what truly selfless
people we have working for this
agency."
"From the governing board
and senior management to the
employees in field stations and
service centers throughout our
16-county region, everyone has
been extremely supportive, for
which I am exceedingly grate-
ful," added Mrs. Morris. "Each
year I participate in the District's
fundraising events and the race,
hoping in some small way to
'pay it forward' to others who


DiTE


may need help during their own
experience with breast cancer.
Once you are diagnosed with
breast cancer, you find yourself
a member of a club you would
give anything NOT to be a mem-
ber of. You also find new friends
and a new way of looking at
life."
Since 2003, SFWMD employ-
ees have raised nearly $85,000
to benefit the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation.
The 17th Annual Komen
South Florida Race for the Cure
was held Jan. 19, along the Intra-
coastal Waterway in downtown
West Palm Beach. It attracted
nearly 20,000 participants and
raised more than $1 million for
the foundation. Of the money
raised annually at the event, up
to 75 percent stays in the area
to fund valuable education,
screening and treatment. The re-
maining 25 percent of the funds
raised fund cutting-edge breast
cancer research nationwide.
The 5K run was first established
in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker af-
ter her sister, Susan G. Komen,
died of breast cancer at the age
of 36.

Know the warning signs of a stroke


Do you know the warning
signs of a stroke?
If someone suffers a stroke,
their chance of recovery often
depends on getting help quick-
Iv.
The American Stroke Associ-
ation says these are the warning
signs of stroke:
*Sudden numbness or weak-
ness of the face, arm or leg,
especially on one side of the
body;
Sudden confusion, trouble
speaking or understanding;
Sudden trouble seeing in
one or both eyes;
Sudden trouble walking,
dizziness, loss of balance or co-
ordination; and,
Sudden, severe headache
with no known cause.
If you or someone with you
has one or more of these signs,
don't delay! Immediately call
9-1-1 or the emergency medi-
cal services (EMS) number so
an ambulance (ideally with ad-
vanced life support) can be sent
for you.
Also, check the time so you'll
know when the first symptoms
appeared. It's very important to
take immediate action. If given
within three hours of the start of
symptoms, a clot-busting drug
can reduce long-term disability
for the most common type of
stroke.
Some people may have sev-
eral "small" strokes before the
condition is ever diagnosed.
The sooner the problem is diag-
nosed and treated, the greater
the chances for a recovery.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) a stroke
occurs either when the blood
supply to part of the brain is
blocked or when a blood ves-
sel in the brain bursts, causing
damage to a part of the brain. A
stroke is also sometimes called
a brain attack.
Stroke is the third leading
cause of death in the United
States, states the CDC. Among
survivors, stroke can cause
significant disability including
paralysis as well as speech and
emotional problems. New treat-
ments are available that can
reduce. the damage caused by
a stroke for some victims. But
these treatments need to be
given soon after the symptoms
start.
The CDC offers the follow-
ing tips for reducing your risk of
stroke:


A
Healthier
Life

with Katrina Elsken
Prevent and control high
blood pressure. High blood
pressure is easily checked. It
can be controlled with lifestyle
changes and with medicines
when needed. You can work
with your doctor to treat high
blood pressure and bring it
down. Lifestyle actions such as
healthy diet, regular physical ac-
tivity, not smoking, and healthy
weight will also help you to
keep normal blood pressure lev-
els. All adults should have their
blood pressure checked on a
regular basis.
Prevent and control diabe-
tes. People with diabetes have
a higher risk of stroke, but they
can also work to reduce their
risk. Further, recent studies sug-
gest that all people can take
steps to reduce their risk for dia-
betes. These include weight loss
and regular physical activity.
No tobacco: Smoking can
affect a number of things that
relate to risk of high blood pres-
sure, heart disease, and stroke.
Not smoking is one of'the best
things a person can do to low-
er their risk of stroke. Quitting
smoking will also help to lower
a person's risk of stroke. The risk
of stroke decreases a few years
after quitting smoking. Your
doctor can suggest programs to
help you quit smoking.
Treat atrial fibrillation. Atrial
fibrillation is an irregular beating
of the heart. It can cause clots
that can lead to stroke. A doctor
can prescribe medicines to help
reduce the chance of clots.
Prevent and control high
blood cholesterol. High blood
cholesterol is a major risk fac-
tor for heart disease, which can
increase the risk for stroke. Pre-
venting and treating high blood
cholesterol includes eating a diet
low in saturated fat and choles-
terol and higher in fiber, keep-
ing a healthy weight, and getting
regular exercise. A lipoprotein
profile can be done to rpeasure
several kinds of cholesterol as
well as triglycerides (another
kind of fat found in the blood).


All adults should have their cho-
lesterol levels checked once ev-
ery five years, and more often
if it is found to be high. If it is
high, your doctor may prescribe
medicines to help lower it.
Use moderation with alco-
hol. Excessive alcohol use can
increase the risk of high blood
pressure. People who drink
should do so in moderation.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Healthy weight status in adults
is usually assessed by using
weight and height to compute a
number called the "body mass
index" (BMI). BMI is used be-
cause it relates to the amount
of body fat for most people.
An adult who has a BMI of 30
or higher is considered obese.
Overweight is a BMI between
25 and 29.9. Normal weight is
a BMI of 18 to 24.9. Proper diet
and regular physical activity
can help to maintain a healthy
weight.
Exercise regularly. The Sur-
geon General recommends that
adults should engage in moder-
ate level physical activities for at
least 30 minutes on most days of
the week.
Eat a balanced diet. Along
with healthy weight and regu-
lar physical activity, an overall
healthy diet can help to lower
blood pressure and cholesterol
levels. This includes eating lots
of fresh fruits and vegetables,
lowering or cutting out salt or
sodium, and eating less saturat-
ed fat and cholesterol to lower
the risk of high blood pressure
and heart disease which can
lead to stroke.
Know your genetic risk fac-
tors. Stroke can run in families.
Genes play a role in stroke risk
factors such as high blood pres-
sure, heart disease, diabetes,
and vascular conditions. It is
also possible that an increased
risk for stroke within a family is
due to factors such as a com-
mon sedentary lifestyle or poor
eating habits, rather than hered-
itary factors.
Before making any change
to your diet or exercise pro-
gram, consult your doctor.
This is especially important
if you are on any prescrip-
tion drugs. Some drugs in-
teract badly with foods that
would otherwise be consid-
ered "healthy."

Revival and your "first love"


By Jackie Miller, minister
First Christian Church,
Clewiston
This weekend we are having a
revival at First Christian. We need
revival constantly because as Je-
sus said to the church at Ephesus
in Revelation 2:4, "Nevertheless
I have somewhat against thee,
because thou hast left thy First
Love."
I want to share with you,.
"Twelve evidences that we have
lost our 'First Love' For the Lord."
1. When my delight in the Lord
is no longer as great as my delight
in someone else, I have lost my
"first love."
2. When my soul does not
long for times of rich fellowship


in God's Word or in prayer, I have
lost my "first love:
3. When my thoughts during
leisure moments do not reflect
upon the lord, I have lost my "first
love."
4. When I claim to be "only hu-
man" and easily give in to those
things I know displease the Lord,
I have lost my "first love."
5. When I do not willingly and
cheerfully give to God's work or
to the needs of others, I have lost
my "first love."
6. When I cease to treat every
Christian brother as I would the
Lord, I have lost my "first love."
7. When I view the commands
of Christ as restrictions to my hap-
piness rather than expressions


of His love, I have lost my "first
love."
8. When I inwardly strive for
the acclaim of this world rather
than the approval of the Lord, I
have lost my "first love."
9. When I fail to make Christ
or His Words known because I
fear rejection, I have lost my "first
love."
10. When I refuse to give up an
activity which I know is offending
a weaker brother, I have lost my
"first love."
11. When I become compla-
cent in sinful conditions around
me I have lost my "first love."
12. When I am unable to for-
give another for offending me, I
have lost my "first love."

What cancer cannot do


By Pastor John Hicks
First United Methodist
Church, Clewiston
Cancer. A dreaded word. Web-
ster's dictionary defines cancer
as anything bad or harmful that
spreads and destroys. We all are
touched by it in one way or an-
other. Either a friend or a loved
one or perhaps even we ourselves
have experienced this dreaded
disease. It might be cancer in the
body, or it might be cancer of the
spirit or soul. The reality is that we
can't escape it. It's all around us.
The numbers of cases diagnosed
seem to be growing. I have a pain
in my heart as I think back on
Frank, David, Lois, Cathy, Nancy,
Becky, Stephen, Bob, and the
countless others who were near
and dear to my heart who suc-
cumbed to the disease. As I wrote
the list, others have come to my
mind, now too many to list in the
space I have.
There are times I look for
answers and sometimes the an-
swers are hard to find. Sometimes
I can't find them at all. Yet, in the
midst of all of this, there are hopes
and promises given to us in God's
word. There are faith statements
by those who lived and died with
cancer that stand out. There are
many incidences in my life where
there were services of celebration
of life over funerals of loss. One


friend responded to his condi-
tion, "I am convinced that there
is a God. I know that no matter
what happens-
to me, standing
with me is a lov-
ing, caring God".
Another shared
with me, "John,
I'm going to be
with Jesus, take ., ,
care of my mom **'
and dad." These John
add credence to Hicks
"Blessed assur-
ance, Jesus is mine."
Put in the right perspective,
we can come to realize that can-
cer is quite limited in many ways.
Cancer is not all powerful. There
are things that cancer cannot do.
Another friend with cancer once
shared with me such a list. For
instance, cancer cannot separate
us from God's presence. Nothing
can separate us from the love of
God in Christ Jesus. Cancer can-
not overcome love. Cancer might
invade the body, but cancer can-
not invade the soul. Cancer can
take away our earthly life, but it
cannot steal eternal life from us.
Other things that cancer can-
not do: suppress memories, kill
friendships, or cripple love. Again,
when you look at the bigger pic-
ture, cancer is limited in what it
can destroy.


Do you know someone with
cancer? Share the good news
- cancer is not the end all. Are
you inflicted with cancer your-
self? Grab hold of the message
that embraces faith and hugs
hope. We have a God who hears
and answers prayers. Ultimately,
when we are in Him, we will go
to be with Him when our time
comes, whenever that might be.
We are surrounded by cancer
and cancer infiltrates our life, but
cancer is not the victor God is.
Because of this we can face what-
ever happens, for we know that
standing with us is a loving, car-
ing, victorious God. Thanks be
to God who gives us the victory
as well with His all-embracing
love and the love of family and
friends.
The Clewiston area cancer
survivor's dinner put on by the
Relay for Life is Monday, March
3, 6 p.m. at First United Method-
ist Church of Clewiston. Invite any
survivors or family members to
come to this special dinner. The
actual Relay for Life walk this year
is March 7-8, at Hendry County
fairgrounds. I invite you to walk
the circle on Friday night and
look at the names and remember
these special people who have
dealt with or who are dealing
with cancer, and their families
- and remember.


Does God lie to us? Is "Evolution"


now a four-letter word?


By Rev. Samuel S.
Thomas, Ph.D.+
St. Martin's Church,
Clewiston
It's come up again; the ques-
tion of teaching "evolution" in
school to our children. When
someone was trying to support
the idea of a seven-twenty-four-
hour-day .theory of creation,
he was asked about explaining
all of the fossils and evidence
found in the earth that pre-dates
such an idea. He answered
"How do you know God didn't
place them in the ground at a
later date?" Such a presump-
tion might be better attributed
to the god "Loki" who mythol-
ogy tells us was a trickster God.
I heard this answer and won-
+ dered if its proponent believed
God would deceive us, even if
was "for our own good." Such
an act wouldn't be consistent
with a God who loves, creates,
redeems, heals, is good.
I see that one of our neigh-
boring counties will be teach-
ing the "theory" of evolution.
I believe that's good; put all of
the "theories" out there and let
people decide. It's an old and
honorable theory; comprehen-
sive, and reasoned, built on
knowledge from what human-
ity knows worth considering.
It is a better explanation than
some of the other "theories" of
how the world and its inhabit-
ants came into being. Does this
theory somehow affect the idea
that God created the world? Not
at all.
Everyone can always ask
about a first cause, a first mover,
and offer answer that it is some-
thing surely beyond what we
ordinarily know; or the work of
God. Honest science acknowl-
edges where it cannot go; no-
body has come up with a defini-


tive "scientific" answer about
what came before the "big
bang" in the big bang theory, or
what came before that, or what
came before that. I can see a
greater appeal to understanding
creation from an evolutionary
approach than seeing God as
some sort of celestial trickster.
We soon forget the roots of
our faith the dynamism and
evolution of our beliefs in many
areas. I regard faith as dynamic,
not stagnant. I believe God con-
tinues to reveal things to His
creatures, that His creation is
ongoing. People seem ready to
believe that the earth is not flat
after all, that this planet is not
the center of the universe, then
act if somehow their beliefs
would all be shattered if Bibli-
cal accounts weren't literally
so. We've "evolved" from our
ancestors ideas, continue to do
so.
This will be ongoing, and faith
will not suffer after all. None of
the major discoveries that have
been made have destroyed faith,
nor affected the religion of those
who have incorporated them.
Rather, they gave a new under-
standing, and with it, a greater
understanding of God at work,
His universe, a greater compre-
hension of His nature, and more
profound respect of just how
awesome He is.
Paul, when talking about
manifestations of faith, admon-
ishes "Brethren, do not be chil-
dren in your thinking; be babes
in evil, but in thinking be mature
(1 Corinthians 14:20)."
The Christian religion
, "evolved" out of the Old Testa-
ment religion, Paul "evolved"
from his background as a Phari-
see into the great evangelist that
he was, the beliefs of the faithful
have "evolved" in our treatment
of others (polygamy, human ser-


vitude, not taking revenge, the
.value of life, just to name a few
examples). Instead of weaken-
ing faith, we better understand
what a great God it is that we
worship and follow.
Better that we spend our time
on another kind of "evolution"
than debating theories; that we
find improved ways of getting
along with our neighbors, that
we find better ways of respect-
ing the world entrusted to us,
that we learn about building a
healthy environment for those
who follow us and the list goes
on.
Every now and then, some-
one asks "What would Jesus
drive?" If we look to the Biblical
account, we find him on a don-
key on Palm Sunday (cf. Mark
11:7). This account lets people
say "See, it's written in the Good
Book let's sell our SUVs and re-
stock the barn." I'm not betting
on that happening soon. We se-
lect where we choose to evolve
and where we get stuck in old
ideas. It does us good to ask ev-
ery now and then just why we
hold fast to some things and are
ready to change others. It niight
be good to ask "Would my
world come to an end if some
of my pet beliefs weren't like I
thought?"
A saying I heard attributed to
the Quakers holds that "At some
level of depth, all truth is one."
I believe that our explanations
that are the most comprehen-
sive, most inclusive, most ex-
planatory, that help understand
other ideas and explanations
along the way are our best ap-
proximation to truth. The Bible
that tells us "Ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall set
you free" (John 8:32) seems to
agree.

Glades Central track teams



eye state championships


Coach McDonald:
"We have something
to prove to ourselves."

By Naji Tobias
The Sun
BELLE GLADE "Losing is
not an option," Willie C. McDon-
ald, the legendary Glades Central
Raiders boys track coach, said
once last year.
Winning the Class 2A state
championship is the only thing
that matters to the iconic figure as
well as his prot6eg, Jemauel Cal-
nek, who is the Raiders girls track
coach.
Not only do both coaches
want to win the team champion-
ships, they would like for at least
one athlete on their team to win a
gold medal this year.
It happened last year with Cur-
tis Cross, who won the gold med-
al as the Class 2A state champion
in the 110 meter and 300 meter
hurdles events. Deonte Thomp-
son also captured the Class 2A
gold prize in the 200 meter race.
But Vanessa Anthony, who
also competed in the Class 2A
state championship, fell just short
and finished in second place with
a silver medal in the 300 meter
hurdles event.
The boys track team also fell
just short -- finishing as the Class
2A state runner-up. It would have
been McDonald's 1011 state track
championship.
Putting last year aside, with the
losses of Thompson and Cross, to
name just two, expectations seem
slightly lower for the program's
chances to capture a state title.
But McDonald looks on the
bright side, as he sees what he
has on his team this year.
"A lot of people feel like we
don't have a chance to win the
state title and I expressed that
to my team last week," McDon-
ald said. "We have something to
prove to ourselves."
The plan to turn
doubters into believers
Always brimming with excite-
ment, McDonald relishes the op-
portunity to prove his doubters
wrong. The 2008 National Track
Coach of the Year finalist has come
up with an innovative idea to mo-
tivate his athletes, which could ul-
timately work in the team's favor
later on in the season.
"I told my athletes to write
down their goals and work to-
wards that throughout the sea-
son," the coach said. "If you be-
lieve in yourself, nothing will stop
you. Only you can stop yourself."
The boys team began the
season with some time in the
weight room for some condition-
ing. Then, on one clear and crisp
Monday afternoon Donald took
his athletes to the Herbert Hoover
Dike.
The team ran about eight laps
up and down the dike, which in
almost every season in the past,
has given McDonald's team a de-
cisive edge in the competition at
all the track meets.
The dike run is just one of the
mnany drills that the athletes work
on to maximize their potential.
For this season, winning the
state championship could come
down to two things: the long-dis-
tance races and the field events.
Typically, the sprinters and the
short-distance relay teams have
no problem shining on the big
stage. But for this season, all eyes
will be on the 4 x 800 relay team,
as well as the 800 meter, 1-mile
and 2-mile runners.
McDonald noted that the track
team had previously won two
state titles in the 4 x 800 relay race,
with one of those teams coming
close to breaking a state record.
Here are three athletes to keep
an eye out for this season:
Rantavious Wooten, a junior,


Palm Beach Community College celebrated Black History Month on Feb. 13, with a perfor-
mance group, Sol Griot.


INI/Naji Tobias
Brunarious McKever, who placed fourth in the 300-meter
hurdles at last year's Class 2A state championship meet, is
working hard at practice with his practice jumps. Hopefully,
his work could pay off with a gold medal in the 300-meter
hurdles this season and a state championship ring.


will be competing this season in
the 200-meter races and the long
jump event, as well as the 4 x 100
and 4 x 400 relay teams. His best
200-meter time was 22.8 seconds,
which he recorded in his sopho-
more year. His best jump last year
was recorded at 21-9. The junior
is described as a hard worker who
never complains and is a sure bet
to have a successful season.
Brunarious McKever, a se-
nior, placed fourth in the Class 2A
state championship meet last year
in the 300 meter hurdles event at
39.7 seconds. Also described as
a very hard worker, Brunarious
is noted for his dedication to the
sport as he could be seen staying
after practices to continue work-
ing on the hurdles and his condi-
tioning. This season, Brunarious
hopes to win the gold medal in
the 300 meter hurdles, as well as
his other two events: the 110 me-
ter high hurdles and the 4 x 400
relay.
Patrick Billings, a junior,
could be the one who ultimately
determines if the team with its
I 1th state championship -- the
program's first since 2005. He
will be participating in the 800
meter.races and the 4 x 800 re-
lay team. Pushing himself to the
limit, Patrick aims to qualify for
the state championship meet in
both events.
"An athlete has to believe
that he could be victorious in his
event," McDonald said. "If he tells
himself he can't do it, then he
won't do it. But if he believes in
himself, then he cannot lose."
Primed for a
state title opportunity
Calnek was pleased with how
his team did last season, consid-
ering the fact that the girls' team
finished as the district runner-up
and qualified 11 athletes in the
state championship meet.
While many of the girls last
season qualified in the 4 x 100
and 4 x 400 relays, Calnek would
like for even more opportunities
to be available to the girls this
season.
"I was very proud of our girls
last season for what they accom-
plished," Calnek said. "More than
anything, this year, I want the girls
to grow in their own individual
events throughout the season.
That way, when the district and
regional meets come, they could
set themselves up to qualify for
the state meet."
Also, Calnek would like to see
the girls have maximum opportu-
nities to showcase themselves on
their own for scholarship offers
from various colleges and univer-
sity.
With that in mind, here at four
of the girls who are slated to make
an impact this season:
Vionni Brown, a senior, is
described as a track athlete who

can do anything good. She will be
competing in the 100 meter and
200 meter races, as well as the 4 x
100 relay team and the long jump.
Her best times in the 100 and 200
meter races are recorded at 12.43
and 25.49 seconds, respectively.
Brown's goal is to get under 12
seconds in the 100 meter race, 25
seconds in the 200 meter race and
about 18 feet in the long jump.
Niyoka Come, a junior, has
reached the Class 2A state cham-
pionship meet in relay events the
past two years. With her current
best recorded time at 58 seconds
in the 400 meter race and 26.43
seconds in the 200 meter races,
Niyoka hopes to reach the state
championship in her two indi-
vidual events.
NaShay Joseph, a senior, is
generally a shot put thrower. With
her best recorded throw at 37-2,
Joseph hopes to throw at 37 feet
and above consistently this year.
Finishing just short of the Class
2A gold medal in last year's 300-
meter hurdles event, Vadiessa
Anthony aims to win the gold
prize outright in her specialized
event.

Shooting
Continued From Page 1
Rogers came by," Ms. Hodges
said, clearly shaken by the situ-
ation. "The day before, when I
talked to him on the phone, the
last thing he said no me was that
he was coming home and would
cook me some grits and breakfast
before I went to work."
Rogers was a seasonal farm
worker, most recently with S.M.


Jones and Roth Farms in Belle
Glade. He had a 1-year-old son,
and a girlfriend, Crystal Seider.
"It's just so hard to take right
now," Crystal said. "I love him
and I miss him. But right now, I
gotta be strong and hold up for
the baby."
Still shaking her head in disbe-
lief, Ms. Hodges tried to keep the
situation in perspective.
"My son was a good-hearted,
caring baby," Ms. Hodges cried.
"I miss him so much. That's my


baby. But I know he's in a better Golf
place." GOf


So far, investigators have not
been able to identify any suspects
from the shooting incident. But if
anyone has any information lead-
ing up the arrest of the assailants,
the sheriff's office encourages you
to either call 688-4000 or Crime
Stoppers at 1 (800) 458-TIPS.

"I'm glad I had the chance
to make an appointment to the
committee," Vice-Mayor Kendall
said. "I'm sure my appointee will
represent all of the citizens and


residents of our area."
The golf advisory committee
was formed to assist the Sug-
arcane Golf Group in its proper
operation of the golf course. The
decision has no fiscal impact on
the city's economy.
"I think that it's important the
community has an input for in-
creasing golf awareness that can
be nurtured beginning with our
youth and all the way up to our


seniors," Commissioner Asia-
Holley said. "Not only it is an in-
tergenerational sport, it can also
have a positive economical im-
pact on our community. The advi-
sory council is another venue for
community participation into the
city government process."

A call to all fathers: Calling all dads


Season
Continued From Page 1
Raiders in a 79-55 victory in Opa
Locka.
The Raiders ended their
dream season with a 19-8 re-
cord, while Pace (23-9) earned
the right to move on to the Class
4A state Final Four in Lakeland.
"Miami Pace was just a better
team," said Edwin James, the
Raiders first-year coach. "Pace
was just bigger than us and they
handled us at times. They were
big on the post and we had no
answer for it."
Pace was certainly a much
bigger team, and it showed as
the game went on.
+ lii the first qiuartef, it looked
as if the-Raiders were going to
have their way with the Spar-
tans as they scored the first four
points in the game and finished
the first quarter with a 20-19
lead.
The Raiders played to their
strengths early, highlighted by
Deandre Holley's steal of Pace's
freshman Darius Perkins after
an inbounds pass, followed by
a quick bucket. It put Glades
Central up, 15-14 with 3:30 left
in the first quarter.
It looked like Glades Central
could actually win the game, as
they kept up with Pace's great
speed in this up-tempo contest.
But Raiders senior center Ed-
die Poole, who finished with 10
points and 12 rebounds, got into
some early foul trouble, which
sent him to the bench. Having to
watch the game from the bench


most of the second quarter, it
seemed as Glades Central's en-
ergy just wasn't there.
Pace took full advantage of
that, registering five blistering
dunks in the first half -- three
by 6-foot-5 senior Ray Shipman
and one each from 6-foot-5 ju-
nior Darren Stewart and 6-foot-8
junior Rakeem Buckles.
"Eddie is an igniter for our
team," James said. "He brings
his heart and soul to every
game. The team just feeds off
his energy."
Even the Rutgers-bound cen-
ter admitted to how the five Pace
dunks affected the Raiders.
"It just took the energy away
from us," Poole said.
Pace took a 43-30 lead into
halflihme and never looked
back.
The Raiders had no answer
for Shipman, who finished
with a game-high 30 points and
eight rebounds. Buckles had 25
points, 14 rebounds and five
steals, while Pace senior Reggie
Chambers recorded five steals
and fellow senior Terrence
Saintil had nine points, eight re-
bounds and two blocks.
When the Raiders win their
games, it could be credited to
their rebounding. But they were
out-rebounded by Pace, 42-21.
"We didn't hit the boards
the same without Eddie in the
game," James said. "When he
got in foul trouble early, we just
couldn't get back."
Missed shots also hurt the
Raiders, as junior guard Rantavi-
ous Wooten scored a team-high
17 points but was 5-for-24 from


the field and was just 3-for-12
from three-point range.
Glades Central sophomore
sensation Clive Wolford finished
with only six points and seven
rebounds, but had three blocks.
"The fire that I usually have
just didn't come out, but I left ev-
erything out there on the floor,"
Wolford said. "I got a little expe-
rience and I never thought we
would get this far. It was a learn-
ing experience and I hope to do
better next year."
For a team that finished just 4-
22 last year and made an amaz-
ing run to just one game away
from the Class 4A state Final
Four, the season was anything
but a failure.
"We lost as a team," Poole
said. "Ain't nobody hanging
their head down."
James kept his amazing first
season with the Raiders in per-
spective, as-he pointed toward
the team's youth and inexperi-
ence. Fortunately, many will be
back next season including Wol-
ford, Wooten and fellow sopho-
more Antwon Chisolm.
The Raiders will also have a
District 14-4A title to defend next
year.
"I think it will just get more
kids to play now," James said.
"We were one game away
from state this year. Now who
wouldn't want to play for a coach
who wants to go places?"
James smiled and laughed as
he exited the Miami Monsignor
Pace gymnasium, looking for-
ward to next season.

The most disturbing social
trend of our times is the dramatic
increase in fatherlessness in the
United States. Contrary to popu-
lar belief; fathers' play a great
part in the lives of their children.
Fathers are a vital part of their
children development and their
identity. Currently, more than 27
million children-39 percent of all
U.S. children-now live apart from
their father. In a typical year, well
over one-third of these children
won't even see their dad. More
than half of all European-Ameri-
can children and three-quarters
of all African-American children
born since 1975 will live some
portion of their formative years
with only one parent; and in the
vast majority of these cases, it's
the father who is absent.
Research shows that the costs
of fatherlessness are high. Chil-
dren with little or no contact with
their fathers are more likely to
drop out of school and become
involved in drug and alcohol
abuse; girls are more likely to
become pregnant as teens, and
boys are more likely to become
involved in crime and violence.
Unfortunately, even when a father
is physically present in the home,
he may be emotionally absent.
Often, men don't know how to
effectively involve themselves in
the lives of their children.
In 1960, less than 8 million
children were living in families
where the father was absent. To-


day the number of children living
in father-absent homes stands at
27 million. That means that to-
night one out of every three chil-
dren in America will go to sleep
in a home in which their father,
does not live. While it is at times
easy to throw around statistics
such as these to make a point,
the plain truth of the matter is
that for every one of these fright-
ening statistics, there is a child at-
tached to it, and, on average, the
consequences of father absence
for each of these youngsters are
not good. Children who grow up
in father-absent homes are sig-
nificantly more likely to do poorly
on almost any measure of child
well-being. For example:
Almost 75 percent of Ameri-
can children who grow up in
single-parent homes will experi-
ence poverty before they turn 11-
years-old, compared to only 20
percent for families where there
are two parents.
Violent criminals are over-
whelmingly males who grew
up without fathers, including 72
percent of adolescent murder-
ers and 70 percent of long-term
prison inmates.
Children living in f.-.thi'r-.:b'- rnt
homes are also more likely to be
suspended from school, or to
drop out; be treated for an emo-
tional or behavioral problem;
commit suicide as adolescents;
and be victims of child abuse or
neglect.
