Joe Marlin's father, Joe A., and his Uncle Marlin formed Hilliard Brothers of Florida back in the 1930s. Joe Marlin has continued that family tradition of ranching while branching out into other business ventures. The Hilliard Family has a prominent place in Hendry County history and in the development of agriculture throughout the region. Joe Mar- lin is the Gen- eral Partner in Hilliard Broth- ers of Florida, which owns over 58,000 acres of land in Florida, Georgia and Kansas. The operation includes sug- arcane, citrus, Joe Marlin Hilliard cattle, sod, fruit and vegetable and timber production. Joe Marlin Hilliard was born January 18, 1943 in Fort Myers to Joe A. and Tippy Hilliard. After graduating from Clewiston High School, Joe Marlin joined the family operation in 1961. Significantly, at his direction, that year saw the Hilliard's first involvement with sugar cane when they began with a modest crop of about 300 acres. Over the years, the sugarcane acreage grew and grew, eventu- ally reaching its highest point of 12,000 acres. Joe Marlin was personally one of the pioneers who devel- oped mechanical harvesting of sugarcane in Florida. He import- ed machines and people from Australia, going on to establish the largest mechanical harvest- ing cooperative in the state. His leadership led the way ushering in new sugarcane harvesting technology. "Joe Marlin's efforts and suc- cesses in mechanical harvesting led the way to keep the entire Florida sugarcane industry viable. He has never been given sufficient credit for this," said U.S. Sugar Corporation CEO Robert H. Buker, Jr. Hilliard Brothers of Florida continues as a family operation with Joe Marlin's two sons-Joe Marlin II and Bryan-and daughter, Mary Elizabeth, all involved in different aspects of the business. In addition to his family busi- ness, Joe Marlin has been active in many other organizations. He is a past president of the Florida Cattleman's Association, past chairman of the Florida Fish See Hilliard -Page 12 Sexual battery charges faced by stepfather Stepfather accused, mother also charged in crime By Ideybis Gonzalez Clewiston News MONTURA - Under some regrettable circumstances, a Clewiston family has been torn apart, law enforcement officials said, because the parents made some terrible decisions. Officials arrested a man and is '., le adrl cr iarged ih n-iN \\ih sexually molesting their daugh- ter, or knowing about the crime. Cecil Dukes, 39, of Montura, was arrested and charged with capital offense of sexual battery on a child under the age of 12. His wife, the child's mother, Leann Fatzinger Dukes, 26, was arrested several days later after investigators found evidence indicating that she knew of the situation and did not come for- ward to authorities to report it. Dukes was charged with accessory after the fact and child neglect. The Hendry County Sheriff's Office got involved after receiv- ing a call of an alleged sexual battery. It is uncertain exactly how officers received the tip. After a thorough invesliga- tion, detectives discovered that the stepfather of the child had been molesting the young girl See Charges - Page 12 New hope for Wilma victims Hurricane Wilma victims to receive a year's extension By Ideybis Gonzalez Clewiston News CLEWISTON - It is no secret to many families affected by Hurricane Wilma that FEMA housing assistant is due to end at midnight, April 24 - which means that the housing accom- modations the victims had uti- lized will no longer be available to them. Having been offered help by the governmental agency to get back on their feet, 29 families remain who have been unable to find permanent housing. To help those families-who would otherwise be displaced after the help is cut off- the city of Clewiston voted to take part in a program that would see the families finding shelter for up to one additional year, rather than losing their FEMA mobile homes all at once. Trish Adams, representing CREW, said the deadline was quickly approaching and urged city commissioners to consider helping the families. Keith Denning, representing See Housing - Page 12 INI/Jose Zaragoza Man preaches at corner Obediah Franklin, a self-proclaimed minister who tours the country carrying a large replica of the cross painted bright-red to symbolize Christ's blood, was in Clewiston on Monday, reaching out to motorists and pedestrians outside the CVS store at the corner of Sugarland Highway and Olympia Street. Regular festival to host entertaining events for entire family By Ideybis Gonzalez Clewiston News CLEWISTON - America's Sweetest Town is gearing up for the 21st Annual Sugar Festi- val. The extremely well-attend- ed event draws many people from Clewiston, and surround- ing cities, for a fun-filled day of entertainment, sights, sounds and, of course, excellent food. The festival will be held next Saturday, April 28. Plenty of events are sched- uled to last the whole day, with favorites such as the old-fash- ioned cane grinding activity, and many other activities sure to keep the entire family com- ing back for more. Of course, judges in the Taste of Sugar Country Dessert Contest, will be hard-pressed to make sense of anything after a sugar overload. The judges will be doing their duty at the Clewiston Inn that day. All festival events will be presented at the city's Civic City Park and surrounding areas. There is no charge to enter the festival, and organiz- ers are encouraging as many residents to attend as possible. According to organizers, the festival this year will begin at 9 a.m., and finish at approxi- mately 7 p.m. Festival goers will also get to enjoy all the wonderful con- certs planned for the event. Craig Morgan will be part of See Festival - Page 12 Festival has new queen: Emily Smith crowned INI/Ideybis Gonzalez The new 2007 Miss Sugar, Emily Smith, sponsored by Dyess Real Estate Company, smiles for the audience at the John Boy Auditorium in Clewiston.

Hospital lab receives full accreditation By Glenda Wilson HRMC Hendry Regional Medical Center's laboratory has been awarded an accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), based on the results of a recent on-site inspection. Michael O'Keefe, the Labora- tory Director, was advised of this national recognition and con- gratulated for the "excellence of the services 'being provided." Hendry Regional Medical Cen- ter's laboratory is one of more than 6,000 CAP-accredited labo- ratories nationwide. The CAP Laboratory Accredi- tation Program, which began in the early 1960s, is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than the government's own inspec- tion program. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory's records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine the entire staff's qualifications, the lab's equipment, facilities, safety program and record as well as the overall management of the laboratory. This stringent inspec- tion program is designed to specifically ensure the highest standard of care for the hospi- tal's laboratory patients. The CAP is a medical society serving nearly 16,000 physician members and laboratory com- munities throughout the world. It is the world's largest associa- tion, composed exclusively of pathologists, and is widely con- sidered the leader in laboratory quality assurance. The CAP is an advocate for high-quality and cost-effective medical care. Michael O'Keefe commended his staff for their efforts in main- taining a high-quality clinical laboratory at Hendry Regional Medical Center.

Problem with baseball team I'm having a problem with my son's baseball team. I put my son in baseball so he could have fun. I paid $50 for him to play. It is becoming a nightmare. My son only gets to play one inning and hit one time. This is not right or fair to my son. On April 6, they lost their game. The coach yelled at my son and said it was his fault. He only got one time to hit. How was it his fault? There were other kids who hit and missed, but they said it was his fault. The coach told me to my face it was his fault. He is 10 years old, what hap- pened to playing for the fun of it. They are all winners, they do their best. Somebody needs to tell him that. I went to the head guy over all this and still nothing's been done. Last time, I was speaking to the head guy, he walked off while I was talking to him. My son was upset and hurt over it. The coach still has not told my son sorry. It was not right or fair to him. I did not pay $50 for my son to only play the third inning and hit one time. They should rotate the kids, that way they all will get to hit and play. It's like all they care about is the money. They got $50 for each kid to play and I have four kids playing. My other three kids who play have coaches who teach them that having fun is the most important thing - not who wins, because they are all winners. I will not stop until my son is treated right. They played a game April 10. They lost and this time they could not say it was because of my son. He did so good he only got to hit one time. But he hit it, made it to first and stole second and third and made it to home. I was so proud of him. He showed them that he is as good as everyone else. I hope whoever reads this understands that I'm standing up for my child.

Bronson has announced the arrest of a Bunnell, man for defrauding at least 11 Florida res- idents out of thousands of dollars in a low income home building assistance scam. Todd M. Findley, 42, has been charged with three counts of grand theft and one count of organized scheme to defraud, all third degree felonies, following a two year investigation by the Department's Office of Agricultur- al Law Enforcement. The investi- gation originated with four com- plaints received through the Division of Consumer Services' consumer helpline against Find- ley's business, European Ameri- can Heritage Foundation. As the investigation continued, officers uncovered seven more victims. Investigators say Findley offered to help low income fami- Road watch Glades County S.R. 78: From CR 721 to Lake- port Fire Department: Mainte- nance contract project - No lane closures are anticipated, but motorists should expect slow moving traffic and possible delays while crews clear and grub in the area.

He told them they would be required to work at least 500 hours on other founda- tion homes to become a partner in the program and then their home would be built with the help of the other families. At least 11 families signed con- tracts and gave Findley a total of $27,500 but no homes have been built. Investigators with Agricul- tural Law Enforcement say Find- ley made ongoing excuses as to why the homes weren't being built and did not give the victims an opportunity to fulfill the agree- ment they signed. "It is outrageous that these families pinned their hope of the American dream on this suspect," Mr. Bronson said. "Not only did they not get their homes built, these families who least can afford it were taken for thousands of dollars. I hope this arrest sends a message to scam artists that our Agricultural Law Enforcement officers will aggressively investi- gate and take action against those who would harm our most vul- nerable citizens." Findley has been booked into the Flagler County jail. The eleven victims are from throughout the state, including Miami, West Palm Beach, New Port Richey and Palm Coast. Mr. Bronson said he believes there may be additional victims of the scam as the investi- gation is continuing. The Commissioner is urging anyone who thinks they may have been victimized by Findley to call his Office of Agricultural Law Enforcement at 1-800-342-5869. Mr. Bronson credited the Fla- gler County Sheriff's Department and Flagler County State Attor- ney's Office for its assistance in the investigation.

Every year more countries are celebrating this essential event - to teach and encourage all citizens of all coun- tries the importance of caring enough to take care of the earth. Locally, the celebration is Earth Day in the Park, at Barron Park, which started seven years ago under the leadership of Tina Noel. This year the event is under the direction of Lois James. The mission of Earth Day is to spread valuable social informa- tion throughout the region and the world and to provide free services to other non-profit organizations to help further their own mission. It is a belief that Earth Day's grassroots efforts can ultimately help relieve some of the world's most egregious problems. The combined good-faith efforts of the masses will create major, relevant improvements worldwide. Common people must act together to represent common global problems and interests, supporters of the nationally recognized day argue. This event is free for everyone and promises to be an occasion to teach what others are doing for the good earth. Community groups, schools, churches, agen- cies, businesses, clubs and indi- viduals are all invited to take their displays to show what local communities are doing. Also, nominations are invited from the community to name Stewards of the Environment and the Earth. There will be entertainment and good food, organizers promise. Lori Howard will be there with her story-telling and Kiwa- nians will be on-hand with their poster stories. The Hendry- Glades Health Departments will demonstrate a safety fair, while members of Riverwatch will be there to talk with visitors as well as the Caloosahatchee River Citi- zens Association. There will be a live bike rodeo, demonstrations of school bus safety, EMS, Fire Truck, Buckle-up Car and Epilepsy Ser- vices of SWFL. Recycling person- nel will answer questions about recycling plus lots of give-away items made of recycled material. "We urge everyone in our two counties, Glades and Hendry, to come to this celebration of Earth Day," said Lois James. "It's a time to learn and to begin to do whatever we can as individuals to keep our earth as it is, or even improve it. Most of all we must all learn how we can keep from destroying the good that is all about us. We cannot afford to waste anything - in the sky, water, or on the earth itself." Organizers urge participants to bring their families, neighbors and friends to the event. Earth Day in the Park will open at noon Saturday, April 21 and continue until 4 p.m. There is no admission charge. For more information, call Lois James at 675-3940. Be earth-friendly: conserve electricity on Earth Day N. FT. MYERS - Join thou- sands of citizens throughout the nation who will celebrate Earth Day on April 22 by making a com- mitment to energy conservation. There are many easy steps you can take in your home to make a difference for the environment, and many of them will make a dif- ference for your pocketbook too! Follow these energy-efficient tips from LCEC to conserve electricity AND reduce your electric bill: * Set your thermostat at 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Every degree cooler costs eight percent more. * Replace filters in your air conditioner once a month, and have your unit serviced every year. * Use ceiling fans to assist in keeping cool, but use them wise- ly. Don't leave ceiling fans running in empty rooms. * Your water heater is the sec- ond largest expense on your elec- tric bill. To save money, set its temperature to between 120 and 140 degrees. * Turn the lights off when you leave a room, and turn the TV off when you're not watching it. * Windows account for half of air conditioning bills: consider applying tinting to them. * Keep the drapes closed dur- ing hot, sunny days. * Consider planting trees in your yard to shade the windows that receive the most heat.

To maintain a reliable supply of electricity for the growing population of Florida, fuel diversity is a must. Florida Power & Light Company has announced plans to build an advanced clean coal technology power plant in Glades- County. There are several reasons why coal is the right choice for the FPL Glades Power Park, and fuel diversity is No. 1. Available and Affordable Coal supplies are abundant in this country. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates there is enough coal in this country to meet the nation's energy needs for the next 200 to 300 years. Greater use of coal could help increase Florida's energy independence and lessen reliance on natural gas and foreign oil. In recent years, the volatility of oil and natural gas prices has become apparent. Meanwhile, the price of coal has remained relatively stable. An investment in greater fuel diversity will protect the energy supply from the effects of price spikes for any one fuel and helps to stabilize electricity rates for consumers. In addition, Florida's natural gas supplies come from two pipelines - both originating in the Gulf of Mexico - which are highly vulnerable to hurricanes and other major storms. At the FPL Glades Power Park, a 60-day supply of coal could be stored onsite to ensure a reliable and steady supply of fuel is available even if new shipments are delayed due to a hurricane or other event. Meeting the Demand State officials have been urging power companies to further diversify their fuel portfolios to ensure a reliable supply of power while maintaining stable electricity rates. A diverse mix of energy sources, each with its own advantages, will help companies meet the growing demands of American consumers. Coal is a crucial component of America's energy future. Today's modern coal plants produce electricity while being good environmental stewards. New technologies allow power companies to use coal more efficiently and with fewer emissions than ever before. The FPL Glades Power Park will operate well within the strict state and federal emission requirements and be protective of the environment. Equally important, the FPL Glades Power Park is designed to be readily adaptable to new technologies as they are developed. These advancements, coupled with the availability and afford- ability of coal, are ensuring coal has a place in America's energy future. For these reasons, coal is the right choice for the FPL Glades Power Park. To learn more about the project, please visit www.FPL.com/gladespower. FPL. POWERING TODAY. EMPOWERING TOMORROW."

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, April 19, 2007 SevnIh omnte ot f aeOecoe hrdy pil1,20 A woman's work is (and was) never done! L YorCmu nity iretr sJs lc wy Recollections of Harley Arnold as told to MaryAnn Morris INI Florida We have been trying to learn how housekeeping went in the early days in Florida. The meat and bones of it, so to speak. An unex- pected resource has turned up - Okeechobee County's Harley Arnold. Mr. Arnold is the youngest of six children born to William Eston and Mittie Raulerson Arnold. "My dad was always out work- ing, so I ended up spending a lot of time with my mom," he said. "When I'd get home from school, of course, first of all I'd change my clothes. Then, of course I was starving, so I'd get a cooked sweet potato and a piece of cooked, smoked bacon out of the safe to eat. (A "safe" is a cupboard with screen or pierced tin sides for air circulation where food was kept.) My next chore was to milk the cow, and then I'd go out to the kitchen building behind the main house. Behind it was a big wooden box where wood for the stove was kept. It had a sloped tin roof to keep the rain out so you would always have dry wood to cookwith. I'd split logs that were cut to fit inside the fire box of the stove, not too big. We lit the wood with splin- ters cut from the tap root of a pine tree, called lighter wood. It was called lighter wood since it had so much turpentine; it would catch fire and burn really fast. She cooked on a wood stove. Some of them had a water tank that kept some water hot, but she didn't care for that. She said it would get all nasty sitting there and she'd rather heat it as it was need- ed. She wanted one with six "burn- ers" on top. Below them on the left there was a box for the fire with a, grate on the bottom where the ashes fell. Now the closer things were to the side with the fire, the hotter it was and the faster they cooked. The oven was below the cook top and the closer to the fire it was, the hotter it was. It was hot enough to back any time she was cooking, I remember biscuits she'd put on the far side, then open the oven and turn the pan so they would cook evenly. There were two little warming ovens over the top where you could put some- thing to keep it warm. Now my mom told me that there were still plenty of panthers around when she and my dad bought this land on Potter Road. So when she washed, she put the baby in a wash tub so roaming panthers would not get them. See, she was alone a lot of the time. My dad would leave for Bluefield Sunday to go haul oranges to Fort Pierce and not return until Saturday. Now, a lot of people say a pan- ther will come to a pregnant woman. My mom told me one time that when she was.pregnant with my brother Robert, a panther came one night. The house had wooden shutters on it One night after the shutters were closed, she could hear a panther walking around outside the house, and then scratching on the door. You know, people call those 'the good old days." In some ways they were good, but we don't respect what these pioneers went through nearly enough and we should. I know, because when my dad was away and my mom and I were alone, she would tell me the stories. We didn't have electric for a long time up here. Our bath tub was a number three wash tub out in the yard or in the kitchen if it was cold. We'd heat water in a bucket to wash with and not just once week. We could set a bucket of water out in the sun in the morning to warm. If you'd been working in the fields and were dusty there was no way you could go without a bath! When you forgot to set out your water, it was a cold, cold bath. All you'd hear was a splash and a gasp as someone hit that cold water! Every Mondaywas wash day for my mom. We got out the tubs, pumped the water by hand and heated it up. That was the start of a long, hard day. The wash was scrubbed by hand on a wash board, wrung out by hand, rinsed, wrung out by hand again and hung up on the line to dry. I remember one Monday, it was wet out and I had me a little red wagon and I played with it right out there in the mud and got my clothes some muddier than I Courtesy photo/www.rustlcretreats.net A wood-burning stove something like this one cooked the meals and heated water for baths when Harley Arnold was growing up. should have. My mom was preg- nant at the time and had just fin- ished up and laid down to rest. Boy, did I ever hear about it when she saw me. She had just finished a full day's washing. The first washing machine I remember had a big tub with an agitator and it would wring the clothes out for you. It had a gaso- line motor. It was a big improve- ment over doing it by hand! The first refrigerator my wife, Ruth and I had was powered by kerosene. It had a wick and a lamp at the bottom of it. That wick had to be kept clean and trimmed just right and it would burn with a blue flame. One time I heard about two fel- las who were talking. One said he had just been out on the lake and had caught him a 20 pound bass. He just went on about this fish. When he stopped, the other fella said that he too had been out on the lake and had hooked something he almost couldn't pull up. When he finally,did get it up, he said, it was an old kerosene lantern - still burning. Well, the first fella said he didn't believe that for a minute. The sec- ond fella said, Tell you what, you take ten pounds off that bass and I'll blow out the lamp!" So it goes here in Okeechobee!

"Neighbors Working for Neighbors" April 5, 2007 Office of the Governor The Capitol Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 Dear Governor Crist: On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Glades Electric Cooperative headquartered in Moore Haven, Florida, I am writing this letter to express our support for the approval of FPL's proposed Glades Power Park coal project. Like you, we are Florida residents who value our state's unique and natural beauty, and we work hard in our operations to protect its natural resources. As general manager of a fast growing, non-profit electric distribution cooperative, I also am convinced that we need a reliable, affordable supply of electric energy to meet Florida's economic needs. The FPL project will do both. Glades County is a rural county that needs clean industry, good jobs, and tax revenues. Florida's environmental regulations are some of the strictest in the country. The FPL project will use one of the most efficient, clean pulverized coal technologies available as well as state of the art in pollution control. This combination will insure that it will meet or exceed our stringent environmental requirements and therefore protect Glades County, the Everglades, and the rest of Florida. This project will also bring hundreds of much needed permanent and construction jobs to Glades County that will provide opportunity to our residents and their children and significantly increase the tax revenues that can be used to build schools and make other sorely needed improvements that are afforded more affluent counties. FPL's project will benefit Florida by supplying additional generating capacity necessary to meet the ever increasing demand for electric energy driven by our population growth and customer use. It will also benefit the entire state by increasing the diversity of Florida's fuel portfolio and reducing our reliance on natural gas which, as we have learned, becomes extremely vulnerable when hurricane storms affect the Gulf of Mexico. Having an additional electric generating facility that will be able to store several months of fuel as opposed to hours, will greatly benefit Florida's recovery efforts when these disasters strike. Additionally, this project will help reduce our dependence on foreign supplies of energy. I realize there has been a great deal of discussion concerning whether or not the FPL project is right for Florida. Glades Electric Cooperative relies on Seminole Electric Cooperative to provide us wholesale power. As a member of Seminole's Board of Trustees, I recently reviewed the results of a comprehensive review of available generating technologies and fuels before our Board approved the addition of a third coal unit. I was pleased to know that FPL is proposing essentially the same technology and pollution control equipment as Seminole's proposed coal plant in Putnam County. I also know that based on Seminole's experience in Putnam County, a well thought out project, using state of the art technology and the most advanced pollution control equipment will be accepted by the residents, provide numerous benefits, and protect the environment We believe the FPL project will be as beneficial to Glades County as the Seminole Project is to Putnam County. For all the above reasons, we strongly support FPL's Glades coal project. I remain... Sincerely, L.T.

The United States Drought Monitor, which identifies general drought areas by intensity, has recently classi- fies all areas of the 16-county South Florida Water Manage- ment District as either moderate or severe drought zones with a prediction of possible drought intensification. A sudden, sharp drop in water levels across the district the past week, made worse by higher temperatures and wind, have led water managers to tighten water restrictions already in place for the Okeechobee Ser- vice Area, the Lower East Coast and Upper East Coast Areas. However, water managers, in a telephone press conference held Tuesday, April 3, said that agricultural users in the Lake Okeechobee Service Area will be required to reduce their water consumption by 45 percent. Grazing livestock, cattle and horses are suffering the lack of forage. The grass is not growing. "We are very concerned about the reduction of water," said Ed Hamilton, Vice President of Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. "With so little water, without good rain, there is not enough water to grow our crops. Now if there was periodic rain like we've had the last six days we would most likely be okay, but, if we have another dry spell we would be in trouble." "The recent rains will keep us 'going for two weeks. We have six weeks left in our growing season. If we were not this close to the end, it would be a real' problem. The lettuce, celery, radishes and sweet corn we grow need water," he continued. "In talking with the consult- ants with the Corps of Engineers, we realize that the regulation schedules being proposed will not give us enough water to "We are very concerned about the reduction of water. With so little water, without good rain, there is not enough water to grow our crops. Now if there was periodic rain like we've had the last six days we would most likely be okay, but, if we have another dry spell we would be in trouble." - Ed Hamilton, Vice President of Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. grow crops. The sugar crops are in real trouble now," said Mr. Hamilton. We are starting to see the effects of the drought," said Judy Sanchez, Director of Corporate Communications for U.S. Sugar Co. "With the water level so low, we can't get water to some of the farms. We have actually been under water restrictions since November of last year. The capacity of the pumps will be in control of the amount of water we get and they will not give 45 percent. This could be a very serious economic impact to all the farms. The drought of 2001 made an impact of $100 million and this one will be worse - the lake level is lower than it was in 2001. Back then just this region was declared a drought area. This time the whole of South Florida is affected." "This is what I call a "second winter," because the grass is brown, just as if it had been frozen. When the cows are down grazing and you see the areas they've grazed, you won- der what they are finding to eat," said Sonny Williamson of Williamson Cattle Company. With horses, this means they will eat more sand, increasing the risk of colic. "More people are buying hay than ever before," said Pat Hogue, Extension Agent at the Agricultural Extension Service in Okeechobee. Hay buyers have noticed that feed dealers run out of hay that is being brought in Florida Specialists In Urology HARRY TSAI, M.D. Fellowship Training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center ..

"The old farmers around tell me that drought is Mother Nature telling you what your stocking rate should be," said Mr. Hogue. "Right now most cat- tle don't look good at all. Some farmers who have low-lying areas still have some grass, but the others don't." "We bought enough forage last year to last - in fact, we thought we had over-bought," said Ben Butler of Butler Oaks Farm, Inc. Ben Butler and his father Bob Butler both have both a dairy and beef cattle. "It's not just the grazing. When you talk about grass, it's the grass you crop for hay. All the water we normally use is from a reclaimed water pond but its low. We are having to re-dig old water holes in the pastures for ground water for the cattle to drink, he said. "We have to watch the water holes carefully," said Mr. Williamson. "When the cattle have to walk so far down to get water, it stirs up mud. That gives a huge potential for degradation of the water. Then, of course, they like to stand in the water to cool off, too." "There have been more ani- mals die from eating poison plants this year than we've seen before," said Mr. Hogue. "When the grass and forage thin out and don't grow, the weeds keep growing. Grazing livestock, that won't touch these plants when there is grass to eat, will eat these plants when there is noth- ing else to graze on." "Wildfires are a worry, too," said Ben Butler. "There's about 1,300 acres next to us that has been vacant for two years. It would be a major fuel source for a fire. We make sure our heavy equipment is ready to go and either my dad is here or I am all the time." "I've been in fires like that," said Mr. Williamson, "pulling a water wagon, trying to put out one of those fires. You almost can't do it." "Now that corn is being used for ethanol, we have seen feed costs rise 30 percent since last September, commented Mr. But- ler. "We have local growers grow corn for our silage, but it takes water to grow corn. If we lose that corn, we are that much closer to importing silage from out of state." "It's going to mean lighter weight calves going to sale this fall. That's going to hurt the economy," said Mr. Williamson. Gulf Coast , Citrus Growers Association has member grow- ers in Charlotte Collier, Glades Lee and Hendry Counties. Ron Hamel, executive Director of the group had this to say: "We have 140,000 acres of citrus under cultivation in five counties and about a third of that depends on the Caloosa- hatchee River and Lake Okee- chobee for its water. The rest is irrigated with ground water. This is a critical time for our citrus which is blooming now. Lack of water could have a serious impact for setting fruit for net year. There was $35 million in damage done to citrus in the drought of 2001 and the value of the fruit is double now." The question is what will be the cost? What will that do to the price of our food?"

The Washington D.C. based coalition of public water agencies and water industry companies will seek con- gressional support for the develop- ment of new water supply projects nationwide including water recy- cling, seawater and brackish groundwater desalination and groundwater reclamation projects. The New Water Supply Coali- tion is an expanded organization that grew from the U.S. Desalina- tion Coalition (www.usdesal.org), formed in 2002, to seek federal funding for the construction of sea- water and brackish groundwater desalination projects. The U.S. Desalination Coalition has several major public water agency mem- bers from Florida, Texas and Cali- fornia. The U.S. Desalination Coali- tion raised congressional awareness of the nation's looming water supply crisis and successfully sought the introduction of legisla- tion in the 109th Congress that would have provided $200 million in funding for desalination projects. "Our growing national popula- tion and the challenges posed by climate change make the develop- ment of new water supplies a criti- cal priority for our nation," said Hal Furman, Executive Director of the New Water Supply Coalition. "We have the technology to devel- op new water supplies if it becomes a national priority, but time is of the essence." The New Water Supply Coali- tion has broadened its member- ship and focus to support any new water supply programs that can create new water facilities that are needed for the growing population in our country. In Florida, the South Florida water Management District, the Southwest Florida Water Manage- ment District and the St. Johns Water Management District, the Keys Aqueduct Authority and the city of Jacksonville are members of the New Water Supply Coalition. "Our Coalition is committed to educate every member of Con- gress about the impending future crisis this nation will face if we do not make significant investments in new water supply projects," said Michael Slayton, Coalition Chair- man and Deputy Executive Direc- tor of St. Johns River Water Man- agement District in Florida. "From Florida to California, climate change and water source pollution are combining to make the need for new water supplies a critical pri- ority in the years ahead." The New Water Supply Coali- tion is currently drafting new legis- lation that would authorize public water supply agencies to issue tax credit bonds to help finance con- struction of newwater supply infra- structure. Eligible projects under the program envisioned by the Coalition would include: coastal seawater and inland brackish groundwater desalination plants, water recycling projects, and groundwater contamination clean- up projects that create new water supplies. The Coalition will be seeking congressional sponsors to introduce this legislation in the 110th Congress now in session.

Local leaders are already get- ting ready to spend a day of fun at the festival. "I am looking forward for the Sugar Festival," said Clewiston Mayor Mali Chamness. "So far, it's been very successful and this year it will be the best ever yet." The event continues to be one of the staple events every year for Clewiston, the mayor said. "I personally love the Sugar Festival," said Iva Pittman, Clewiston's deputy clerk/assis- tant city manager. "I believe it brings people to the community and it allows us to show off our community as well. The festival is also a good time for friends and family to get together." The Sugar Festival celebrates the end of the annual sugar cane harvest in the farming region south of the Lake Okeechobee. Also, this year's honoree is Joe Marlin Hilliard, of the Hilliard family. This year's festival honoree is Mr. Joe Marlin Hilliard and fami- ly.

Samuel S. Thomas, Ph.D. Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston Someone told me that the best words to hear are "You're right!" and the worst words to hear are "You're wrong!" I'm , sure there are others but these words ' can be very affirming or very discon- certing. To be told we're wrong means SamuelS. that there may Thomas be a struggle ahead, things will have to be reor- ganized, we may have to discard something we hold dearly; friends and other like-minded people may not be that friendly after all. It's not so good to be told "You're wrong!" Wrong answers mean trouble. We're a "have-it-your-way" people when we can be; wrong says we may not be having it our way after all. One of the commen- tators on TV was talking about tax audits and advising that simple things may trigger an audit; like not stapling forms to the returns in the right place. One little error and be ready to dig out records and try to remember where all of those numbers came from. Someone once sent hundreds of invitations to their wedding to all of their friends, but put my home address on them instead of the Church address. I had visions of hundreds of people showing up in my front yard asking "Where's the wedding?" and put a sign on my front door before leaving for the Church. The couple was visi- bly upset by this error; somebody was wrong about a very impor- tant detail on a very important day for them and it made a mark. I have often thought about the well-known "Doubting Thomas" as someone who had it wrong and was a "have-it-your-way" per- son in his own generation. When we're right, we have an inside track on the way things really are; when we're wrong, we miss part of reality and are out of touch. That can be very disagreeable indeed! For Thomas, there were his friends - the other disciples - who told him about seeing the risen Lord when he was not with them (John 20:19ff). I can appre- ciate Thomas' difficulty in believ- ing that someone had risen from the dead; that kind of thing does- n't happen. The other disciples affirmed that it was really so; that they were sure in what they had seen. Thomas was not so sure. This did not conform to what peo- ple knew or what took place every day, or how the world seemed to work. Thomas, under- standably, has his doubts, but he is willing to be proven wrong. He sets the conditions for revising his world-view and says "Unless I see How to make prayer effective By Jackie Miller, Minister First Christian Church, Clewiston As we attempt to develop effective prayer lives, there are certain things to keep in mind to make our prayer effective. First, we must pray without calling undue attention to our- selves. One of Jesus' criticisms of the Pharisees was that "they love to pray standing in the syna- gogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men" (Matthew 6:5). Our prayers should never become a matter of display. Second, we must not allow our prayers to degenerate into mere formality. Jesus warned against using "vain repetitions" in prayers (Matthew 6:7). For exam- ple, think of the way we some- times pray at mealtime or bed- time. If prayer becomes a series of set words and cliches that have no real meaning to the person saying them, then we should re- think what we are saying. Third, we must pray with the full confidence of faith in God. How do we know that He will answer us according to His wis- dom? God is a liberal giver and we must take our request to Him "in faith, nothing doubting" (James 1:5-6). Fourth, we must always pray according to the will of God. "Now, this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him" (I John 5:14-15). Fifth, we must be living lives of submission to God in order for our prayers to be effective with Him. "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil" (IPeter 3:12). Sixth, we must be willing to do whatever is necessary on our part to have our prayers answered. For example, it is foolish to pray for health and not take care of one- self; it is foolish to pray for the church and not support her every good work; it is foolish to pray for the lost and not try to reach your friends who are lost. Let us be encouraged to think on these things. Unique Vacation Bible School planned CLEWISTON - First Christ- ian Church, Corner of N. Francis- co St. and Esperanza Ave, will be beginning a unique Vacation Bible School (V.B.S.) each Sun- day in May that continues through their Regular V.B.S. June 10-15. The theme of this VB.S. is "IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS!" On May 6, from 6 p.m., the program will begin with the showing of first of fourteen 30 minute movies on "The Life of Christ". Following each movie there will be a question and answer period to be sure that the youth got the important points of the message. Following that there will be Refreshment Time. This sched- ule will continue through the entire month of May and the first Sunday in June. Then in the reg- ular V.B.S., June 10-15, 6:00-8:30 p.m. the movies will continue, plus there will be Game" Time, Crafts and Refreshment Time. If you want you children to learn about the entire "Life of Christ" you are urged to have them pres- ent May 6, 6 p.m. and then each Sunday in May, the first Sunday in June, and then the regular V.B.S. June 10-15. The schedule and movie titles are as follows: Day/Time All at 6 p.m.: May 6, Birth Of the Savior; May 13, Herod's Wrath; May 20, The Childhood of Jesus; May 27, Jesus in the Wilderness; June 3, The Ministry ofJesus; June 10: 6:15 p.m.: The Twelve Disciples and at 7:30 p.m., The Good Samaritan June 11: 6:15 p.m.: Challenge -of the Messiah and at 7:30 p.m., Death of John the Baptist June 12, 6:15 p.m.: Final Jour- ney to Jerusalem and at 7:30 p.m., The Trial of Jesus June 13, 6:15 p.m.: The First Easter and at 7:30 p.m., The Sal- vation of Christ #1 June 14, 6:15 p.m.: The Salva- tion of Christ" #2 and at 7:30 p.m., Closing Program Practice June 15, 4 p.m.: Annual V.B.S. Picnic and at 6 p.m. - Closing Program Those interested in enrolling their children in this program should call (863) 983-1804 or (863) 983-6704. Jackie Miller, Minister of First Christian Church, is the Director of the Program. the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger in the mark of the nails, and put my hand in His side, I will not believe." Thomas has been asked to admit that he was wrong; but he also recog- nizes that maybe, just maybe, his view needs to be changed. As the story concludes, Jesus visits again when he is present and invites him to "Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt, but believe." Thomas then affirms "My Lord and my God!" and he is told "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe." That has been the rest of us ever since. The story of some- one rising from the dead is hard for some to believe; that He should want us to rise with Him may be even harder. It is easier for the indifferent or the non-believer to say "You're wrong" and to on their way. Then, there are those millions whose lives have been changed by believing, by being among those who have seen beyond the "reality" of what seemed to be in the past, and who live among those who the Lord included when He said "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe." Their reality has changed the world and they're affirmed in it. They keep working to see things improved and are optimistic, hopeful, joyous. They know how the story ends; they got it right after all and the words spoken are music to their ears. They have come to believe, even if they didn't see-and it's for real.

What did it all mean? It was only mid-afternoon, but it had seemed like a week had passed since last evening. There were wars and rumors of wars. Every- one was running scared of what might happen next. Some believed the world was going to hell in a hand basket. Others did not know what to believe. Many just could not believe it had hap- pened. It just could not be true. But it did happen, and it was true. Jesus was crucified - dead. They didn't know what was going to happen next. Hope was shattered. Despair reigned. Nerves were on edge. Fear was in the air. It was a dark Friday. Centuries later, we have the advantage. We know that Jesus was crucified, dead and buried. We also know that on the third day He arose again from the dead. Our Lord overcame the grave. This gives us a hope. Though it might be Friday in our life right now, we have the assur- ance that Sunday is coming with its' resurrec- tion promises. We all experience ,, , , -, dark Fridays. There are those days when we feel like the whole world is com- ing down John upon us. There Hicks are those times when things just don't go well and sometimes those times seem like they have been going on forever. And then there are those "grain of sand down the pants" type frustrations. You know the type: small, irritating and often times, chaffing. It is during all of these dark Friday times that we need to remember the promise of Sunday. The promise of Sunday means that we don't have to let the dark Fridays of life keep us down. No matter how bad a sit- uation might be; the end of it will come. We know that even though things might be really dark now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sunday is coming. We know that Jesus is alive and because He lives, we can live - and live abundantly. That's the word that the world is waiting to. hear. That's what we need to go out and tell the world. When they get depressed, we need to tell them that Sunday's coming. When they are hurting, when they feel that they can never know love again - we need to tell them that Sunday's coming. When they have lost their belief in the miraculous so that they no longer expect great things from God, we must tell them that Sunday's coming. Even though it's Friday right now, with all of the despair, hard- ships, and uncertainties that come with it, Christ is going to rise again. There is no power on earth, above the earth, or below the earth that can keep Him down. Martin Luther once spent three days in a black depression over something that had gone wrong. On the third day his wife came downstairs dressed in mourning clothes. "Who's dead?" he asked her. "God," she replied. Luther rebuked her, say- ing, "What do you mean, God is dead? God cannot die." "Well," she replied, "the way you've been acting I was sure He had!" Let us not get caught in that trap. We serve a risen Savior - He's in the world today. Because He lives, we can live, too. Easter lets us know that. no situation is beyond God's redeeming power. Another Easter has come and gone, but the Easter message and promise lives on. Sunday is coming. Let us name, claim, and proclaim the resurrection life! Post your News Post or read press releases, announcements & information from your community. Community Links. Individual Voices.
