Pioneers build home in 1934 Researched by MaryAnn -Morris Editor's note: This article is based on an account by Ralph Wadlow as told to CarrollWad- low, whose journal is located in the digital collection of Library of the University of Flori- da. Palmdale, in Glades County was still a frontier. The Wadlow family came from Missouri in 1934 for the sake of the health of the mother of the family, whose doctors had said she needed a warmer climate. Ralph Wadlow later told the story of his family's early days to his wife Carroll. "The mill was shipping heart pine to Spain at that time. Its workers sawed off thin boards until they came to the heart. We ripped down this rough stuff with a hand saw to about three inches wide, to be used to sheathe the roof. "We cut all the cabbage fans, about a thousand, for a mile around. We tied them into bun- dles of about 25, as they were too slick to handle loose. We placed them in a big circle on the ground, folding the edges under and pressing them out flat by holding them down with logs for five to seven days. We put a shingle nail in the end of each stem, and nailed them in rows onto the sheathing, begin- ning at the bottom. We covered the sides with the smaller, over- lapping fans. The floor was one-by-six tongue and groove, from twen- ty-four inches to thirty-six inch- es long, with a joist wherever the ends came. "We got six windows by hoeing sweet potatoes for the Greens (a neighbor) two days a week. We obtained two doors from an abandoned house. We lined the inside with ripped-up cardboard boxes from the store. We tacked up a ceiling of cheesecloth from Sears Roe- buck to keep the bugs and snakes from falling down out of the fans. "We made a table and three chairs out of cypress poles and scrap boards. Somebody lost a chair in the road near us, which gave us one for company. We had our folding cots from our trip down. Grandma got us a cast-iron cook stove from a foundry in Missouri and had it shipped. Mother lost no time in catching onto the tricks of cracker cook- ing. She had to bake her biscuits with rank, sow belly grease, but she would put green pepper slices between them to cover the flavor. She tenderized tough beef and venison by wrapping it in papaya leaves. She canned guava shells and juice in her emptied jars until we could get sugar to make jelly. When we found turtle eggs she always made a cake. The fish house would give us black bass because it was illegal to sell them at the time. She would roll See Pioneers -Page 2 Photo special to INI/Ralph and Carroll Wadlow The Wadlows palmetto-thatched house in Palmdale, 1934, creaked and groaned through hurricanes, but never leaked. ~AI AlA ~ Er- ~ - "Aw 2 The Okeechobee News, Sunday, August 28,2005 News Briefs OFC advisory council to meet OKEECHOBEE The Okee- chobee Freshman Campus will hold their organizational school advisory council meeting Monday, Aug. 29, at 2 p.m. in the Freshman Campus auditorium, 610 S.W.

Sagamor6 Ave. Building E, Hospital Annex Clewiston, FL 866-549-2830 Igor, Fairways and Highways by Daniel Shube found that the par-4 seventh hole played much easier if you hit your tee shot over the 16th green. The problem was that the golfer play- ing the 16th hole didn't like it very much. That shortcut is now marked "out of bounds". They had the same situation with the ninth fairway. Many found it an easier tee shot oh 18 if they simply played down the ninth fairway. Sorry, it's now off limits. To combat the effects of equip- ment that propels golf balls far- ther, Fairwinds has added yardage to several holes. From-the back of the tee box at the par-3 fifth hole, you'll need a shot of, over 220 yards. The par-3 fourteenth hole is now a monster thanks to a pair of new tee boxes located back near the fifth green. One of the scariest driving holes is the par-4 tenth. Now even more so as a new tee box forces better golfers to hit into a narrow- er section of the fairway. On twelve, you need a map to find the newtee box for the pros and wanna-be pros. What used to be a mid-length hole, now checks in. atover400yards. Sixteen used to be an easy hole. Any golfer could blast a drive over the short trees and bunkers down the right side and leave a short pitch to the green. Now the tees have been moved back and trees added, forcing you to hit a soft fade to get around the corner. It's a much better hole. As if the eighteenth was difficult enough, there is now a tee box for the not-faint-of-heart. What may be the areas toughest finishing ,hole is novv even harder. . At Eagle Marsh in. J ensen Beach things have evolved a little differently. We played there before the course ever opened and it was a difficult track. Origi- nally, Eagle Marsh featured lots of forced carries, narrow fairways bordered by wetlands, and good length. Over the years the owners and staff have softened Eagle Marsh.

BIG LAKE HoSPICE offers you choices: Outstanding High Quality Patient Care and Personalized Family Support Your choice of other hometown healthcare providers that you want A variety of settings: home care, residential care, assisted living or in-patient care By Daniel Shube Watch thebig boys on the PGA Tour these days and you'll hear a -lot of commentary on Course lay- out and design, or more specifi- ,cal.ly, "Tiger'proofing" the courses of today. It seems the pros are getting better and better, hitting the ball farther and farther, while we poor 1, recreational souls are struggling 'just to keep our games from slip- ping.. Yet, courses are evolving ,and making changes and -improvements every day. Most ,Courses are making their tracks I tougher so that the better players will find them challengingwoen using today's technology in clubs and balls. Many do this by adding length, making the fairways nar- rower, growing forests of rough and speeding up the greens. All of this talk has made me think.... what 'changes I have seen to the Courses I play? I got together with my usual playing partner, fellow golf writer an d radio show host, James Stammer to see what cha n'ges have occurred to the courses we play. Maybe the reason weekend golfers cannot improve is because the better golfers have :'forced the courses to toughen up so much that we simply don't have the.talent to play them any more. Since we've been writing about golf, James and I have had the pleasure of being among the first to play many courses. Two of those courses are right in our area and since it has been years sin ce we last played them, we thought ,it would be a good idea to sed what changes they have made and how these two courses have evolved. Fairwinds -Golf Course, is owned and operated by St. Lucie County. The course was designed by JimFazio and built in the early 90s on top of a former landfill, James played the course during its Grand Opening. He remem- bers 7Fairwinds haviAg lots of rolling hills, large greens, a so lid variety.of holes and a very stout finishing hole. One thing it lacked at the beginning was trees and foliage. It simply hadn't grown and matured. When visiting Fairwinds this past week, we noticed many changes. The hurricanes have knocked down many of the trees that had taken years to grow and mature, but you can tell the course has grown in nicely. Over the years, the staff at Fair 'winds found and addressed the problem areas. Many golfers. 1100/01 -1; We guarantee R.J t 100"'Cl cleari VVe guarantee R.J.

They realized the need for a more playable course that would attract the average recreational golfer. Yet they wanted to keep it challenging enough for the better players. A good compromise was found. Fairways have been widened where the average player hits a tee shot, 'tees have been added to allow the shorter players the abili- ty to reach the fairways, and the rough is kept so that it's playable, but still stops many errant shots from going into hazards. ' . You will find the biggest change at.Eagle Marsh at the par- 4 eighteenth. What was once a nearly impossible hole for high handicaps has'been modified. To help the majority of golfers, but keep a tough finishing hole for, the better players, a new green was added. Yes, you have two greens to choose from. Playing the hole to original green requires a long, accurate tee shot that favors the right side. From there you have a long shot over a huge wetland to a large green. If you prefer the easier route, you can. play to the new green built straight out-with no required carry over the hazard. , .. So as you can see, not all cours- es evolve or must be made tougher. This is an example of two that went in opposite directions to attract players of all calibers. ; To see for yourself, take a ride over* to the coast and schedule a - YOUR HospiCE IN OKEECHOBEE sources B I G' Ho- Provider of Aospice & Palliative Care Access to multiple Hospice services and res( Coordination of social services Grief and spiritual counseling Hometown caring care givers "am" Two "A Real Fill, Familli Restaltrailt,' J.

Applications are now being accepted through Sept. 1 for the 2005 Florida Farm Bureau County Idea Exchange. "These programs recognize the unique and resourceful ways Farm Bureau members and coun- ty Farms Bureaus address the numerous challenges faced on farms and ranches and through- out the agriculture sector as a whole", said MaryAnn Kwader, Florida Farm Bureau Federation public relations program manag- er. Ten county Farm Bureaus will present their innovative, action- oriented activities during the Flori- da Farm Bureau Annual meeting at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando on Oct. 12-14. The five program categories are: Education and Ag Promotion, Leadership Promotion, Member Services, Policy Implementation and Public Relations and informa- tion. The selected counties will receive $250 from the Florida Farm Bureau and winning entries will be submitted for the 2006 American Farm Bureau Federa- tion County Activities of Excel- lence program. The counties selected by AFBF will receive up to $2,000 to put toward the cost of exhibiting their winning activities, at the AFBF annual meeting in Nashville Jan. 8-11. 0( USDA urged to help farmers in the panhandle GAINESVIIhE Florida Farm Bureau is.urging the U/S/ Depart- ment of Agriculture to help resi- dents of the Florida panhandle who are still suffering from dam- age to crops and infrastructure resulting from Hurricane Dennis, which made early season landfall July 10,2005. Farmsteads in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Escambia and Franklin counties bore the brunt of the storm and farmers there are struggling to repair and rebuild structures as the harvest season draws near. "Emergency funding from USDA is critical," said Florida Farm Bureau President Carl B. Loop, Jr. in a letter to USDA secretary Mike Johanns. "It is my understanding that over $40 million of the previ- ously allocated Section 32 hurricane disaster funds for Florida remains after all other hurricane damage claims have been settled from 2004. I am hopeful that you will consider using a portion of this remaining allocation to fund this request" Loop said Florida Farm Bureau, the state's largest general interest agricultural organization, is emphasizing the plight of West Florida farmers. Santa Rosa County was the hardest hit in Florida with farmers losing about half of the cot- ton crop and virtually all of the bean, corn and pea crops. Santa Rosa also lost an estimated 40 per- cent of pine trees planted under the USDA's Conservation Reserve Pro- gram. Okaloosa and Escambia counties lost 25-40 percent of the cotton crop. Other crops were also damages, as was the oyster indus- try in coastal communities, particu- larly in Franklin County. On July 25, 2005 those counties were declared federal. disaster areas, along with Bay, Calhoun, Gadsden, Gulf, Hernando, Holmes, Jefferson, Lafayette, Leo, Liberty, 0 0 L) 0 a 00 4m * 0 40w 49ftb0 Madison, Taylor, Wakulla and Washington counties. "Florida Farm Bureau wants USDA and other government agen- cies to keep focused on the fact that the effects of Hurricane Dennis are still being felt," said Loop. "I appreciate any assistance you can provide to further alleviate the pain being felt by the farm families impacted by Hurricane Dennis," he told Johanns. Loop praised USDA's immedi- ate response in the wake of Den- nis. The USDA's Food and Nutrition Service procured USDA food com- modities for mass feeding in shel- ters and worked in partnership with nonprofit agencies including the Red Cross and Salvation Army. Local USDA offices also obtained formula, food and water specifical- ly for feeding infants in the Florida hurricane shelters. .-.
