There are no signs of foul play, officials with the Hendry County Sheriff's Office said, and the case remains an unexpect- ed and "very tragic" death, according to the report. According to a police report of the incident, the boy, 9-year- old William Henry Brogdon, seemed to have died of asphyxi- ation when he was trapped under the dirt. In the moments before he was found, family members and neighbors tried desperately to shovel dirt from the mound after finding the boy's jacket and shoes nearby. Investigators said that earlier in the day, while his father and older brother were working in the shop in the backyard of their LaBelle home, the young boy had asked to play with his brother. His father told him they would be busy in the shop and the boy left to play alone. The boy's father could not Walk to Literacy: A learning field trip LS INI/Ideybis Gonzalez On Friday, Jan. 12, the director of Rainbow Preschool organized a walking field trip for 16 of their four year-olds to tour the Clewiston Library.

After some time, more than two hours later, and when he noticed that the small boy had gone missing, the father started searching for him, worried that he was nowhere to be found. One of the family members noticed that a mound of dirt, around which the boy some- times played, had collapsed. They then saw William's jacket and shoes next to the mound. Fearing the worst, the father ordered one of the boys to grab some shovels from the shop. The boy's father and uncle began digging to find the boy and continued digging for more than 30 minutes-before a neigh- bor, seeing what was happen- ing, offered to use his back hoe to move the dirt quicker. The hoe dug into the ground See Child-Page 12 Lawmakers work to help rural counties By Patty Brant LABELLE - Not many Leg- islators in Tallahassee under- stand the needs of rural inland counties, so it's essential that residents provide them with the facts. Florida Senator JD Alexan- der of Lake Wales told a group at a recent Farm Bureau luncheon that, in addition to their local legislators, they must seek the support of urban Legislators - they must be made to see the larger pic- 'ture and how' rural counties fit in to theit own welfare. Sen. Alexander was joined by Florida Rep. for District 77 Denise Grimsley as well as aides for Florida Sen. Dave Aaronberg and U.S. Senators Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez Feb. 1 at a luncheon hosted by the Hendry-Glades Farm Bureau at the Captain Hendry House. Sen. Alexander was center stage for most of the event and fielded questions like how introducing more ethanol as an alternate energy source might affect Florida agriculture. Sen. Alexander said balance is needed. Ethanol from corn provides only a 15 percent gain in erieroL and is not cost effec- tive, he noted. As it stands at this time, the use of ethanol would not help Florida eco- See Help -Page 12 Greenleaf is Golden Apple Teacher 2006-7 CLEWISTON - Megan Greenleaf was honored with this year's Golden Apple District Teacher of the Year award, an award given to outstanding teachers in Hendry County. She accepted the award at a ceremo- ny at John Boy Auditorium in Clewiston Feb. 1. . Mrs. Greenleaf is originally from the San Francisco Bay area, from a small town named Pied- mont. Megan graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, where she received her bachelor's degree in Political Sci- ence.

Past generations of her fami- ly had done something quite different, and it had become the custom to follow in the footsteps of old grandfathers and old grandmothers, great great aunts and great great uncles. So she joined the circus. Asia is known for her silks act, a circus act using sheets of silk tied with knots around which the performer pulls off elaborate moves while sus- pended in the air. She tours the world with her family, who owns Anastini Cir- cus. At first, the friends she had to explain the move to imag- ined visions of clowns and gyp- sies and freaks. Later, they were simply sad to see her go, and she was also unsure she want- ed to go. Since then Asia has toured the world with her family, trav- eling to the African, Asian and European continents. The entire immediate family on her father's side, as well as the entire immediate family on her mother's side, works in the cir- cus. "I learned to love it," said See Circus - Page 9 INI/Jose Zaragoza The Anastini family, made up of mothers and fathers, and daughters and sons, cousins and uncles, was in Clewiston last week. J '.w'*' .ji _ rP_ _ � Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, February 15, 2007 New members welcomed to GCWC One of the very first organiza- tions in Moore Haven, the Glades County Woman's Club (GCWC) members listened and smiled as proud sponsors intro- duced their new members at a Tea Reception held at Candi Snow's home on River Road in Glades County during their monthly meeting. Mrs. Snow has a talent for making everyone feel welcome, serving tea in antique cups and saucers, cucumber sandwiches, June Morn- ingstar's famous cream cheese- olive sandwiches and home- baked sweets. New Members include Kacie Swafford, sponsored by Bette Davis, Megan Shepherd, spon- sored by Barbara Brown, Lela Brown, sponsored by Waba Rec- tor, Carol Butler sponsored by June Morningstar. The Glades County Woman's Club members work year round to raise funds for scholarships given in May to two deserving Moore Haven High School grad- uates. Fundraisers include preparing and serving food at the annual Birding Festival, raf- ,fles of handmade items and their annual style show.

Rear, Sponsors, Left to right, Bette Davis, Barbara Brown, Waba Rector, June Morningstar. The club, over 75 years old, used to own one of Moore Haven's historic dwellings but due to the deteriorating condi- tion of the house, they sold it several years ago and have been meeting a member's homes and at the library. There was much discussion over meeting sites, program agendas and increasing the scholarship amounts. If you are interested in joining this venerable club, phone a member for further information. 946-0520 or 946-0579. Glades County Woman's Club style show Thanks to the efforts of all the members of the Glades County Woman's Club and many good friends and neighbors their recent annual luncheon and style show was a huge success. Hav- ing outgrown the Ferris Davis American Legion Hall, they were given the use of Robin's Nest, an RV park north of Moore Haven on U.S. 27. Owned by the Robert Joyner family, the park's club- house was the perfect site for Loire's Dress Shop of Lake Placid to show off her fabulous fash- ions. For some unknown rea- sons, club members automatical- ly become runway models when clothed in the trendiest styles. These delightful members seemed born to stride down run- ways and each just fit beautifully in all of Loie's outfits whether for- mal of elegant casual. Covered dishes are the high- light of the event with everyone competing to see whose creative salad disappeared first. The luncheon rivaled any five star restaurant and the table center- pieces featured photos of our Moore Haven High school senior students. Proceeds from the show help finance two scholarships for local youngsters each year. Mem- bers agreed that bringing in many new and younger members has helped spark new enthusiasm. These new members include sev- eral "snow birds" who always have new experiences and ideas to share. Anyone interested in joining can call any GCWC mem- ber for further information. Mean- time, we'll see you at the Birding Festival where we prepare and serve tasty lunches. For more information call 946-0520. 4 Obituaries Johnny W Graydon Johnny W.

SPEAK OUT RETURN?: I wanted to know why there's no Speak Out section in there anymore. Not everybody has a computer and I really like reading that section and I haven't seen it for a long time. I was wondering if it was going to be back in the newspaper again. That's all I wanted to know. Editor's Note: Thank you for asking about our Speak Out sec- tion. Yes, answering machine had not been working as we worked on a few technical problems, but even if the answering machine is not working, you can post comments on line by visiting the local forums at www.newszap.com. EMERGENCY PLANS: Last year during hurricane season we had all these meetings by the Clewiston emergency team said they had evacuation plans. At that meeting we asked, would the plan be available to the public and the answer was yes. Several times I have called asking for a copy of those plans, no plan. Nobody answered, nobody responded. Is there a plan if something catastrophic hits Clewiston or something happens to Clewiston? If there is one, and the public has it, or is it a big secret like everything else is in this town? Letters to the Editor Rebuttal to FPL article A recent "public service announcement" appearing in both the Caloosa Belle and Glades Co. Democrat needs a response. The article, entitled "FP&L says Power Park to contribute to econo- my" would have those of us who. live in Glades or Hendry Counties scarcely able to believe our good fortune. What seems to glitter, however, is not gold but coal with all its attendant problems. A few points to consider: * Coal is by far the dirtiest method by which to produce elec- tricity. The proposed facility will be a pulverized coal plant utilizing old technology and will cause unnec- essarily heavy pollution when com- pared to newer available technolo- gies. According to numerous scientific publications, there are several types of pulverized coal plants, all of them unsatisfactory from a health and environmental standpoint. * Given the generous relaxation of EPA clean air standards in recent years, what does FP&L's claim of compliance really mean? * What does FP&L's claim of "state-of-the-art" mean when refer- encing out of date technology. A hundred year old buggy whip is still a "state-of-the-art" buggy whip even though long retired. * FP&L is here in Glades and Hendry Counties, only because they were turned down in St. Lucie Co. Why? A St. Lucie Co. commis- sioner described FP&Es sales pres- entation to them as a "deceitful dog and pony show". * What will be the public health costs and who will bear them? Air quality is already bad enough dur- ing cane-burning season. * What will be the environmen- tal damage from acid rain, mercury and other pollutants produced by a plant next door to Lake Okee- chobee and the headwaters of the Everglades, an ecosystem already in serious trouble? * While we enjoy the pollution, others will benefit from the power produced. * When carbon emission con- trols are instituted (remember global warming?), will FP&L's plant already be grandfathered in? * And what about all that tax revenue? What will we do when FP&L's plant depreciates and we taxpayers have to carry more of the burden? Pulverized coal burning is old technology. Where coal is to be used it must be done responsibly and has been (or should be) replaced by plants using a gasifica- tion technique. Here almost all pol- lutants are removed up front by the process which makes the coal into a gas before burning. Carbon emis- sions are more easily recovered and can be stored for disposal. This technology has been in use for some time and is well tested and reliable. There is such a plant near Tampa, which has been operating for the past 10 years. A plant costs 15-20 percent more to build so one might understand why a power company might favor a more pol- luting plant. This cost can be recov- ered, however, by doing it right the first time, and eliminating the expense of operating the less effi- cient "scrubbers". We would encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with what is at stake here. Our elected officials need to balance both sides of the ledger and not be seduced only by the promise of more revenue. We do not believe that this is the best place for a power plant at all. But, wherever it is built, FP&L's feet should be held to the fire to respon- sibly provide the best that technolo- gy has to offer. And one parting shot: As shareholders in FP&L we are embarrassed that they have not already stepped up to the plate to do so. Sincerely, 'Bruce G.Steinfeldt,D.V.M. MichelleC. SteinfeldtRN. IDLE TEACHERS: I'd like to make a complaint about these teach- ers that are spending an awful lot of schoolwork time on the tele- phone and doing personal work in class time. My son's teacher doesn't have time for him because she's always on the phone and she's always doing personal stuff. I think the principals need to check on this and put a rope around this before it gets out of hand. TROUBLE WITH HIGH SCHOOL: Are there any other parents having trouble with the high school? I had to pull my daughter out of high school. She was threatened by another student, they did absolutely nothing to keep her safe. I've had to pull my daughter out in order to home school to keep her safe. Is there anybody else out there we can get together so we can put a stop to this? Now my daughter's not going to get an education except for home schooling which I don't know anything about, this is my first time. CONFISCATED DRUG MONEY: What is done with the money confiscated from drug dealers? Is that money put back into the community adversely affected by drug sales? Editor's note: In Florida, money and property confiscated from drug sales - when it is no longer needed as evidence - is usually put into the law! enforcement trust fund, and can be used by law enforcement to make more drug arrests.

Kmnn EliEr Meimbro f Irla r Florida Press ASsod: Ilon Teachers Continued From Page 1 sen was four." She was also pregnant with her youngest daughter, Suzi. Mrs. Greenleaf has been a teacher for a total of 19 years, becoming a teacher at age 34. Before teaching she worked at a bank, stayed home with her chil- dren, was a substitute teacher and did bookkeeping for her husband's beekeeping company. Before becoming a teacher, she remembers fondly, "I began my career in education as a parapro- fessional with some of the greats, namely Jan Gann, Annie Ruth Howard and Mrs. Guthrie." At the time she was a Girl Scout leader. That was when teachers Jan Gann and Sue Mundy Schaeffer, encour- aged her to become a teacher. Mrs. Greenleaf taught Kinder- garten for one year, second grade for three years, fourth grade for three years, high school for one year, third grade for eight years, was a reading resource teacher for one year and a reading coach for two years. She likes third grade the best, she said, "because they're at a great stage: They have a love of learning, and yet they're becoming individ- Sual learners and the curriculum is great. They're at that point where they still like school. They're inawe of learning and have a refreshing, attitude. I get to see those 'ah.ha' moments every day in somebody." Mrs. Greenleaf is involved in Teaching After School, Curriculum Mapping Committee, Accelerated Reader Committee and Teachersas Professional Education Readers (Taper) Group. .Her most memorable accom- plishment in teaching is when she started a book give away program for Accelerated Reader at two schools in which children are rewarded for reaching their reading goals by receiving a book to take home. For some children, she says, this may be one of the few books they have to call their own. Mrs. Greenleaf received her Masters in reading from FGCU in 2004. Her students are very excited that she is the Golden Apple Teacher of the Year. In his Letter to Santa, one of her students wrote that for Christmas he wanted her to be teacher of the year for the dis- trict, regional and state levels. Her advice to new teachers would be, "Don't be easily discour- aged by paperwork and routines. If you invest the time in the job it's very rewarding. But it takes time: It takes about 3-5 years for teaching to become profitable, but I would never do anything different." Her favorite thing about teach- ing is the enthusiasm that children bring. The look in their eyes when they finally get a concept is price- less. Her least favorite thing is all the paperwork to keep track of. When asked how teaching has changed over the years she says, "Our expectations for chil- dren are much higher than they used to be. What used to be first grade curriculum is now taught to Kindergarteners." Mrs. Greenleaf hopes to contin- ue her education by getting her Mas- ters as an Education Specialist or her Doctorate degree in Education. Teaching runs in the Greenleaf family. Her husband, Mel, has been teaching for 12 years. He currently teaches Biology at LHS; eldest daughter Kelle has been teaching, for about three years and currently teaches Band, French and Algebra at LHS; Juli her second daughter has been teaching about one year and currently teaches ESE at UES; Aly- sen, her third daughter is attending the University of Florida for a major in Public Health and a minor in Edu- cation and youngest daughter Suzi is a senior at LHS. Suzi will soon be attending USF Honors College where she will major in American History and minor in Education. After graduating she hopes to work in a museum or become a teacher. So, not only has Mrs. Greenleaf taught others students, but has raised teachers of her own that will continue teaching in the future. Also honored were those nomi- nated for the District honor. Laura Chambliss Laura Chambliss has taught eighth grade math at LMS for 25 years. She is involved in the Fellow- ship of Christian Students, a Lead Teacher, Peer Teacher and Math Department Head. Her most mem- orable accomplishment in teach- ing was when she had a young man in her Intensive Math class a few years ago. He had scored a 1 on the Math section of his 7th grade FCAT and his mother, who hap- pened to be a former student of hers, requested that she be his math teacher. The two of them worked diligently to get his math skills up to grade level in class. Their efforts, paired with the Math. Lab, paid off. He scored a 3 on the FCAT Math section. She said she was blessed by the faith of the young man's mother, who put her son's math education in her hands, and doubly blessed to see that her faith in Mrs. Chambliss ability to teach her son was validated. Terry Crawford Terry Crawford is a fifth grade teacher at Eastside Elementary School. He has been teaching for 20 years. He taught at Eckerd Youth Alternatives and Eastside Elemen- tary School. He is involved in the After-school Math Program, a Fifth Grade Lead Teacher and on the Sci- ence Committee. His most memo- rable accomplishment in teaching: There are some students that would do well if they just put them in a room and threw in some books but his greatest joy has repeated itself several times over the past few years. It's that student in his first year that figures out, "I can do this" and the light and joy on their face when they figure this out!" Heidi Dana Heidi Dana has been a teacher for 19 years. She has taught at Alva Elementary and Country Oaks Ele- mentary, where she is currently a third grade teacher. She is involved in the Writing Committee, DIBELS Testing, United Streaming Team Member, Turning Point Grant and the Cowadunga Fundraising Com- mittee. Her most memorable accomplishment in teaching is watching her students achieve and overcome their learning difficulties to succeed in life. Dawn Gonzalez Dawn Gonzalez has been a teacher for 11 years. She has taught at Eastside Elementary, Union Park Elementary, Colin English Elemen- tary, Gulf Elementary and Central Elementary. She is currently a third grade teacher at Central Elemen- tary. She is involved in the Annual Chili Bingo, Box Tops for Education and Curriculum Development. Her most memorable accomplishment in teaching is when She made a connection with a troubled student. While he was in her class she' worked with him by helping him to make better choices and to work through his anger to use self control. He recently stopped her in the hall- way to tell her that he wished he could be in her class again so that he could "do better in school and not get in trouble." She felt that she had been successful in reaching someone who needed her help.. Deborah Larrimore Deborah Larrimore has been a teacher for 19 years. She has taught at Glades Day, Rosenwood Ele- mentary and Westside Elementary.. She is currently a fifth grade teacher at Westside Elementary School. She is involved in .Accelerated, Reader Committee and Teach after school program. Her most memo- rable accomplishment in teaching is when Westside became a full inclusion school two years ago. She taught, for the first time, a fifth grade inclusion class. She had the pleasure of teaching a student, who throughout his education, had been in a full time ESE classroom. He was very introverted as well. She had the pleasure of watching him come out of his shell and con- stantly respond to questions asked during class instruction. He scored a 5 on both the Math and Reading portion of the FCAT. Lenette Leyva Lenette Leyva has been a Lan- guage Arts teacher at Clewiston Middle School for 5 '/2 years. She is a SLIC Committee Representative. Her most memorable accomplish- ment in teaching: Once, she con- vinced a student to overcome his fear of rejection by his classmates in order to work on a project that he really wanted to do. Conquering his fear gave him an air of confi- dence that changed the rest of his' year in her classroom. This con- firms her belief that students' emo- tional needs and validating Stu- dents' feelings is integral to her being an effective teacher. Brenda Milligan Brenda Milligan has been a teacher for 24 years. She taught at Bayou Lafourche Academy High School, Portsmouth Elementary, Ascension Catholic Middle, Brusly Middle and LaBelle High School. She currently teaches Earth Science and Biology at LHS. She is involved in the Health and Wellness Com- mittee, Participant in the Florida Digital Educator Workshop, Florida Instructional Technology, Teaching and Learning Institute Participant and Parent/Teacher Technology Night. She said that there have been so many memorable events during her teaching career that she cannot just name one. Every day that she teaches there seem to be challenges and opportunities for her to make a difference in a stu- dent's life. She said that one of the most satisfying accomplishments is when academically struggling stu- To Reach Us Addrem: PO. Box 1236 Clewiston.

He has taught at Knott Middle, Wellman High, Aransas Pass High, Aransas County High, Flour Bluff High and Clewiston High. He currently teaches World History and American History at Clewiston High School. He is part of the Committee for Change and supports events, concerts and other- activities students are involved in. His most memorable accomplishment in teaching is working with a young man named John Allison. John was from a sin- gle-parent family and John told him that he became a father figure for him. He said that Mr. Stovall inspired him to become a jet pilot because he was fascinated by the model airplanes hanging from the ceiling in Mr. Stovall's classroom. They talked several times when things weren't going well for the boy. Mr. Stovall always told him to never let anything take away his dreams. The last time Mr. Stovall saw John was in 1989 when he told him that he had made flight school for jets. Last year John's mom called Mr. Stovall to let him know that John had been named the lead :pilot oon the Navv's Blue Angel Demonstration Team. Mr. Stovall said, "Now that's exciting!" Sandra Taylor Sandra Taylor has been a teacher for 18 years at LaBelle Ele- mentary School where she is a fourth grade teacher. She is Co- Chairman of the School Advisory Council, a Lead Teacher, part of the Curriculum, Committee, New Teacher Induction Team and helps with Project Graduation. She said, "The nature of teaching is such that you rarely see in the short term the effects you have on your students in the long term. Every student I have taught has affected me in the long term. It has either been in the vali- dation of doing something "right" that worked, or in the realization that my best efforts may not have been enough for that particular child. It is those realizations that cause me to continually seek per- fectio n imy teaching through pro- fessional growth. This is one rea- son I sought National Board Certification a few years ago. This very rigorous process required deep reflection into my teaching style and content. Receiving National Board Certification has been my most memorable accom- plishment in my career."

And what exactly is the differ- ence between a normal life and a circus life to Asia? It's very sim- ple: There's a lot more working, and there's a lot more traveling. Circus life is never boring, the girls said. The family is home-schooled and everyone pitches in to help with setting up the tents and the games at every new town they visit. And it isn't unusual for the family's to tour all year long, with breaks only during Thanksgiving and Christmas. In a normal year, the group can visit hundreds of individual towns throughout the world. According to Giovanni, the patriarch of the show and Asia's father, his family started doing theatre shows in the 1800s, before the advent of the circus tent, and the tradition continued to be handed down generation after generation. Giovanni's own children are generation eight. The reason why it's easy for his children to be drawn to the circus is the same reason he was drawn to the circus at a young age: if nothing else, touring together usually means the fami- beans, 'baked cheese sandwich, corn and fruited jello Secondary Thursday, Feb. 15: Chicken sandwich, lettuce, tomato and pickle, baked beans, pears diced Friday, Feb. 16: Fish sandwich, French fries Monday, Feb. 19: NO School Tuesday, Feb. 20: Nachos with corn, tossed salad, orange juice, and chocolate chip cookie Wednesday, Feb. 21: Corn dog nuggets, mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, green beans, banana, biscuit ly stays together. Some of his cousins decided not to pursue a career in the cir- cus, but he never gave it a second thought himself. Giovanni remembers the first time his own parents encour- aged him to begin performing in the circus. He was barely school- aged when he first walked onto the stage. The cheers from the audience were positively addict- ing to him. Even now, much later in his life, there are few things that compare to the cheering of an adoring audience when he pulls off his more daring acrobatic stunts, and the weeks of careful practice and routine seem to pay off all at once. The circus is his life, he is unafraid to say, and he met his wife while the two performed for a circus. His wife's own family has been in the circus business for six generations. The match seemed drawn in Heaven. The work isn't without its drawbacks, and though the fami- ly takes great care in ensuring that all the acts are safe, the pos- sibility remains that something can go terribly wrong at a moment's notice. Chiara remembers her aunt. While performing the silks act, the pulley system holding the slender column of silks gave way and her aunt fell from several feet up in the air to the ground. The Suomittea pnoto Joshua Paul Deese won the People's Choice Award at the annual Thomas Alva Edison Science and Engineering and Inventor's Fair recently in Fort Myers for his project, "Elec- trolysis in the Presence of Sodium Chloride." CMS student wins special award at science fair Clewiston Middle School stu- dent Joshua Deese received a spe- cial award at the Thomas Alva Edison Regional Science Fair on Jan. 27, at the Harborside Con- vention Center in Ft. Myers for his project entitled "Electrolysis in the Presence of Sodium Chloride". The seventh grader heard about the Science Fair on the Discovery Channel and was one of 14 final- ists out of 850 who entered. He received his award and the Peo- ple's Choice Award for his con- cise explanation of his project to the public at a ceremony on Janu- ary 31, at the Alico Arena at Flori- da Gulf Coast University. Joshua also received a $300 cash award, a free subscription to Scientific American and a two week sum- mer research opportunity at Flori- da Gulfcoast this summer. He was also nominated for a chance to participate in the Discovery Chan- nel Young Scientists' Challenge. CMS congratulates Joshua for this outstanding honor.

The mother of two was only 32 years old. Since then, Giovanni and all family members who help in set- ting up take extra precautions to. keep the performers safe, includ- ing his daughter Asia, who now does the routine that killed her aunt. Giovanni considers some of the injuries, including an injured arm himself, to be a part of the job, much as it is in any other profession where care must be given to stay safe. The most important thing is to scare fear away, or keep it tightly clutched, and respect, a circus performer must respect his craft if he is to avoid getting seriously hurt. The moment a performer loses respect for what he's doing, and he stops fearing, Giovanni said, that's when the accidents happen. Still, as she prepared for the act the next night, Asia, smiling and then turning seriously at being asked whether she ever gets scared or remembers her aunt, said, "I think about it every time I do the act." The support of her family, though, makes even the danger- ous manageable. "We're a very close family," said Asia. News Editor Jose Zaragoza can be reached at jzaragoza@newszap.com.

In December, the Department of Education approved a statewide list of 442 major areas of interest. School districts had until January to choose which major areas to offer at each high school. Next year's ninth graders will be the first to choose a major area of interest as part of new graduation requirements taking effect. "I am excited that next year's incoming high school students will be the first to have the oppor- tunity to choose an area that inter- ests them," said Education Com- missioner John Winn. "I have been talking with eighth grade students around Florida and they are excited about studying areas of interest to them." Students will be able to select their major area of interest through Florida's online student advising system, the Florida Acad- emic Counseling and Tracking for Students, or FACTS.org. Eighth grade students can complete an ePersonal Planner (ePEP), an interactive course planner for middle and high school students, based on the major area of inter- est and on their educational goals. Students can locate the high school they will attend and review the major areas of interest that will be available. Once enrolled, a student may change his or her major area of interest the follow- ing year with no penalty. "Students show no hesitation about selecting an area of interest because they know they are free to change direction," continued Commissioner Winn. "Our stu- dents are more goal oriented than we give them credit for." Major areas are available for students in high schools through- out Florida, including students with disabilities working toward a special diploma, students enrolled in career academies or magnet programs, and students in charter schools. Major areas of interest include a wide array of subjects, ranging from Account- ing and Finance, Landscape Architecture, Health Care, Televi- sion Production and Computer Systems as well as many in the arts and vocational areas. Graduation requirements for students entering high school in the 2007-08 school year include earning 16 core academic credits and eight elective credits in order to graduate with a high school diploma. Core requirements consist of four credits each of English and math, three credits of social studies and science, one credit of fine arts, and one credit in physical education and health. Out of the eight elective credits, students choose a major area of interest that includes four credits in a common area, such as sequential courses in a career and technical program, fine and performing arts, or academic content area. The remaining for credits are electives. To view the list of high school major areas of interest, visit http://www.fldoe.org/HSMajors/L istSchoolMajors.aspx.

I-ighly efficient means substantial- ly less coal is used to produce the same amount of electricity and with fewer emissions than older, traditional coal-fired power plants. Florida Power & Light's goal is to meet reliably its customers' growing demand for electricity in an environmentally responsible manner. To ensure that power is there when it is needed and to protect against potential interruptions to the state's natural gas supply due to hurricanes or other unforeseen events, FPL has sought to diversify its fuel sources, focusing on abundant and lower cost fuels such as coal. not yet provide a highly reliable source of electricity. More significantly to the local community, IGCC is not as efficient as USCPC meaning more coal would be required to produce the same amount of electricity. And, while IGCC would require substantial reengineering and rebuilding of the plant to incorporate carbon capture and sequestration technologies when they become commercially available, FPL's proposed plant design can be readily modified to add emerging technologies. When looking for a reliable, efficient and proven method for generating electricity for its 4.4 million, customers - and growing - FPL chose USCPC technology for a new power plant that's proposed for a location near Moore Haven. FPL carefully considered all options available before After an extensive evaluation of modern coal technologies, FPL determined that an advanced tech- nology called ultra-supercritical pulverized coal (USCPC) is the best option to meet this need for reliable power with environmental protec- tion designed into the plant. Ultra-supercritical refers to the highest level of efficiency and will set a new standard for coal genera- tion in this country. This industry- USCPC Pollution Control Technology setistsoc j i . . .

The result is an advanced technology coal plant design using an abundantly available resource that provides a reliable supply of electricity to meet our future needs. Another developing technology that uses coal to produce electricity is called Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology. Unlike the USCPC technology proposed for the FPL Glades Power Park, IGCC is not yet a proven technology in the commercial size needed to meet our customers' needs. IGCC is more expensive to build and operate and does concluding that this technology is the best choice to produce reliable power for our customers. The pro- posed FPL Glades Power Park will, in fact, surpass the latest, stringent envi- ronmental regulations with a wide margin of environmental protection.

Placing in the top four at Districts as an individual quali- fies that wrestler to advance on to the Region 3-IA at Palmetto Ridge High School on Feb. 9 and 10. From there the top four from the Region advance to the State Finals in Lakeland on Feb. 15, 16, and 17. In all, nine wrestlers from Clewiston advanced on Friday. At 103, freshman, Bryan Bacallao placed third, defeating Serge Rush of Naples by way of pin in the first period of the con- solation finals. At 125, sopho- more Brandon Caulkins placed third defeating an Immokalee wrestler by decision. At 130 Jared Bacallao placed third for Clewiston in a come from behind victory over Naples. At 140 Joey Cordova placed second losing to Palmetto Ridge's Richie Denz, a returning state champ. Arsenio Ramirez also placed second losing to Palmetto Ridge's Zach Mastro, also a returning state champ. Damari- an Allen came in at third defeat- ing a Naples wrestler 15-6. At 171, rookie Lee Roy Richards showed his abilities placing sec- ond in well fought match against a returning district champion Submitted photo/Clewiston High School The Clewiston High School Wrestling team recently took second in districts. Congratulations! from Palmetto Ridge. At 215 Adam Trevino placed fourth, los- ing to a Naples wrestler. Clewiston High School can add 189 pound Jamar Boykin to its list of District Champions. Boykin was at the top of his game defeating eighth ranked in the state Corey Carter of Golden Gate High School 14-3. It was a domi- nating effort by Boykin, who was at his best for the tournament. Clewiston had two weeks with no scheduled competitions to prepare physically and men- tally for the districts. Facing off against the #1 team in the state, Palmetto Ridge, at districts meant that all Clewiston's ath- letes would have to be healthy and at the peek of the physical training. This paid off for the Tigers on Friday. Placing second behind Palmetto Ridge, Clewis- ton came away with 123.5 points and was 19.5 points from the third place Immokalee. "This is a big achievement for our team. I am really happy for the kids like Jared Bacallao that have been here for four years, working hard and only seeing individual accomplishments. This is the best group I have had. They have come together as a team, supporting each other, and that's what makes them tough." says Coach Alford.

The Precision"" 500D, with its digital fluoroscopic capabilities, was acquired from GE Healthcare and will enable the Radiologist at Hendry Regional to confidently diagnose conditions in the chest, spine, bone, digestive tract, uterus and bladder. The new system is a replace- ment for the unit that was dam- aged during Hurricane Wilma. "Although the systems are simi- lar, the newer technology pro- duces a superior, quality image and should help us to get through a patient's exam much more quickly than before," said Ed Chiarelli, Imaging Services Direc- tor at HRMC. "From broken bones to digestive conditions, we can address each patient's situation with speed, ease and confidence. The Precision 500D, with its digital acquisition of images, allows our physicians to easily perform a broad array of general X-Ray pro- cedures as well as the more advanced fluoroscopy proce- dures," explains Ed Chiarelli. X-Ray is the most established and commonly used form of med- ical imaging. It is a fast and easy way for a physician to view and assess broken bones and it can also be used to help physicians diag- nose and monitor the progression Help Continued From Page 1 nomically, the senator said. Rep. Grimsley said the use of sugar- cane to produce ethanol is being explored. Questions from the crowd included the legal responsibility of employers for hiring illegal work- ers. Rep. Grimsley agreed the issue is difficult since it can be very hard to know if a worker is illegal. She said the law states that you cannot "knowingly" hire ille- gal residents. Gulf Citrus Growers Associa- tion Executive Director Ron Hamil agreed that doing away with the, greenbelt law would effectively "kill" the farmer. Greenbelt laws slow the conversion of inappro- priate land to "less well thought out uses," he said. Some were concerned about how a proposal to double home- stead exemption from $25,000 to $50,000 would impact the ability of rural counties to operate. Sen. Alexander responded that the Legislature must be attentive to small county needs. If their tax base erodes, they will not be able to meet basic services. The Legis- lature needs to be aware that "it's different in rural counties," he said. He also noted that rural counties need more than "pris- ons, landfills and power plants" for a healthy economy.

Regaining fluoroscopic capability will once again enable the physician study flow or motion in patients, when necessary. If your doctor has pre- scribed a fluoroscopic examination for you, an appointment may be scheduled with the Imaging Ser- vices Department at Hendry Regional Medical Center from Monday through Friday by calling (863)-902-3067. INI Florida/Patty Brant Florida Senator JD Alexander, left, said his friend and former Rep. Joe Spratt was a "champion" of trying to get things done when they served in the Florida House of Representa- tives together. and the Legislature should be looking at alternate plans like tax- ing the first $10,000 of property value so all would pay their fair share. Sen. Alexander agreed that all should pay some property taxes but it's "hard to change what's there." He said that the issue must be discussed honestly and that it's a challenge for rural counties to provide basic services. Glades County Commissioner Donna Storter was concerned about the portability of home- stead exemption.

Bryan Beer was concerned about the inequities and competi- tion from other . counties an increased minimum wage can bring about. For Hugh English, it was the amount of public lands being pur- chased by the state for environ- mental purposes. Sen. Alexander said that most of those purchases have been in this area and has the effect of inhibiting the ability of local government to serve the community. He also noted that, although some 30 percent of Florida is now in public owner- ship, there is broad support for this program. He said there is a need for state land for purposes like storing and purifying water. Ron Hamil said the Federal government must honor its Ever- glades funding commitment. Sen. Alexander agreed, saying he is proud of what Florida has done to solve real issues in the Everglades to "keep Florida, Florida." He said currently the state is working on restoring the integrity of the Hoover Dike around Lake Okee- chobee, especially on the south and east sides. Farm Bureau Director of State Legislative Affairs Ben Parks addressed the organization's leg- islative priorities for 2007. They are: * Expansion of agri-tourism in Florida, which is the nation's top tourist destination. * Support of current Greenbelt Tax Assessments on agricultural property which taxes the value of the production it supports rather than its resale value. * Energy Tax Relief - the Farm Bureau will ask the Legislature to expand the exemption for taxes on electricity used for agricultural production to non-residential farm buildings and farm offices.

The father grabbed his son and ran into the house to call for help. But it would be too late. Emergency workers respond- ing to the North River Road home made the death pro- nouncement. A preliminary report found the boy had died of asphyxiation as a result of being buried under approximately 30 inches of dirt, which may have fallen when his playing there stirred the mound. An official autopsy, though, may provide more information about how the boy died. The sheriff's office report observed the shovels in the ground from the family mem- bers' attempts at finding the boy. Several small toy cars could still be seen near the mound that the boy may have been playing with before he died. Officials say the death was an accident. "We have obtained word from the Ft. Myers Medical Examiner's Office and they indi- cate that there is no sign of foul play," said Sheriff Ronnie Lee. "This was just a case of a very tragic death."

In addition, Farm Bureau sup- ports complete funding for the University of Florida Institute of Food, Agriculture and Sciences (IFAS) and is watching such issues as private property rights, farm building code exemptions and sales tax exemptions for agri- culture. Hendry-Glades Farm Bureau President Bill Maddox noted that together agriculture and environ- mentalists can provide better management and keep. agricul- ture alive. "The House and Senate understand, but we need other agencies like water management to understand, too," and added, "Farm Bureau keeps rural con- cerns in front of lawmakers. It's not just an insurance company - that is a benefit - but the main thrust is lobbying. You don't need to be a farmer to be a member." Community Links. Individual Voices.

Rac- ing is already under way, and the Grand Opening will be March 10. Feb. 10 Race Results: The Mini Stock Division was an exiting 9 car feature. Jack McClain in the #26 had a real good night going in the early stages. The lead would soon be taken away by Mark Barlow In the #4 car. Mark went on to resist challenges from Pete Jacobs in the J5 car. The race was a battle all the way to the last corner where Barlow slid a little up the track giving one last chance for a run on the bottom to Jacobs. At the line Barlow took the win. 1st #4 Mark Barlow 2nd #J5 Pete Jacobs 3rd #27 Brian Bail 4th #26 Jack McClain 5th #41 Ken Tubbs 6th #3 Devin Dellechiaie 7th #32 Sandy Wilcox 8th #57 Zach Perman 9th #75 Shal Ritenour The Bomber Division was even more exciting to watch. Thre cars went at it, lap after lap for the lead. It was a 15 lap race and #26 Steve Dielman had to fend off both #12 EddieLawler and the #8 of Ed Steinhoff every lap. Both drivers were up along side of him several times but it was dielman with the win. 1st #26 Steve Dielman 2nd #12 Eddie Lawler 3rd #8 Ed Steinhoff 4th #3 Ernie Turner 5th #37 Zane Reed 6th #55 Sabrina Mosely 7th #44x Rob Brightigan 8th #lx Steve Colan 9th #74 Greg Lalor 10th #20 Joseph Minniti 11th #2 Charles Bache 12th #16 Mary Cordis 13th # 101 Caroll Van Wagoner The Late Models were shown the way around the track by #97 Justin Choquette. Justin had the great handle on that car from the time the track was soaked in the beginning of practice to the last lap of the feature on a blue groove race track. Michael Cherry never let him get too far away but could not get a run on him for the lead. Top three Late Models 1st #97 Justin Choquette 2nd #45 Michael Cherry 3rd #77 Win Ingersol The Show we all were waiting for was the Alied Mortgage Street Stock Elimination. It was worth the wait. The final feature of the evening took the track before 10 p.m. and went pretty smoothly for a 20 car field. 25 cars showed up to compete and the top 6 out of three heat races advanced to the feature. I remember I was com- menting on Jesse brown running in 4th place in his heat going into the last lap. It didn't look like he was going to have a real good starting spot for the feature. Not giving up a bit he passed two cars on the last lap finished second. One of the other recent feature winners # 1H Tommy Hill was not as fortunate. His heat race earned him a middle of the pack start and it was not going to be his night. Tommy left the track early. I started seeing some smoke at the end of the straights and he soon pulled off the track. May have been overheating due to some contact he had made battling in the middle of the field. I thought I heard a pop just before he slowed and pulled of the track. I hope it wasn't a blown motor. With 18 cars secured in the field 5 cars took battle just after intermission for the last two transfer spots to the feature. The lead was exchanged between all drivers in the eight lap dash. The #26 David McCormack got the top spot with #88 Bob Cook coming in second. This all set the stage for the 50 lap feature. with a stop halfway for a splash of fuel. There was a lot of bumping and banging as 20 cars tried to sort out there running order. Although the drivers did an awesome job lining up on the restarts, there were some acci- dents that put some cars on the sidelines. #82 Rick Sterk had a spin in Turn 2 and got slammed hard head-on by #89 Greg Crowe. Crowe's car, damaged heavily, could not go on. Some- how the #82 looked unharmed. Later on, Sterk's car was also unable to complete the race. #38 Lenny Gorman was run- ning top five all night but a poke to his radiator had him running about 240 he said. When the race was red flagged for a blown engine and resulting small fire under the #59 car, driven by Joel Goldfrank, Lenny had to shut the motor down and could not retire. This was just the first half of the race. After the lap 23 caution the call was made to stop the race and refuel the cars. Jesse Brown had found his way to the front of the field and with only 11 cars left, the second half of the race had fewer cautions and Jesse held off challenges from #64 Tim Powers. A great lap after lap battle was had by #32 Robert Vaugnhn and the # 26 of David McCormack. Yes McCormack who had to qual- ify into the race by winning the B Hunting Safety Course planned in Moore Haven The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will host the field day portion of its free hunter safety course in Moore Haven, on Feb. 17.

Friday night Clewiston trav- eled north to Live Oak, Florida to take on Wakulla High School and University Christian High School in duals. Wakulla is a tough team from the north and made for a good match with Clewiston. Clewiston, still forfeiting 12 points to Wakulla, put up a good fight losing 44-33. Wins for Clewiston came from Brandon Caulkins, Joey Cordova, Arsenio Ramirez, Damarian Allen, Alton Edmond, and Troy Kornya. Uni- versity Christian High School was next for the Tigers.

In ancient times, the philoso- pher's stone was widely sought but never found. Alchemists searched diligently for this unknown substance which they believed would change base metals into gold. But no one ever discovered it and the philoso- pher's stone became a myth. Nothing in the realm of things has the power to bring us true and lasting riches, but love does have power to transform the base metals of life into gold of rich experiences. Even the everyday chores of wash- ing dishes or shoveling dirt can be made easier, even enjoyable, when they are done in love. If you are doing a job for someone you love, the tools seem lighter and the whole task becomes a pleasure rather than a chore. If you are doing some type of Lt iUVC UI e J LUI1111" LU oveAo oppo 111Up , then all things will work with you to bring a new joy and new satisfaction into all that you do. Love can transform experiences in human relationships. Many persons go through life expecting problems and negative attitudes from others and they are not disappointed. The more they approach others with the expectation of being cheated or mis- treated in some way, the more often they are able to point to their difficult experiences and say, "See, I knew it would happen!" It isn't necessary to wait for others to love first. When you project your own love of good and God in every man, the situation is changed instant- ly. It may take a little time for the transformation to be accomplished in other ways, but the catalyst starts to work the moment you begin to feel UcIUlL 1es1cnve iae i eu youi uouy seem a "base metal" that is a prob- lem rather than an asset, try using love to change your physical mecha- nism into an asset of rich "gold." First, love God, and then love yourself as the expression of God. Love your body as. His idea. Love other persons in their divine poten- tial. Love good. Love beauty. Love harmony. Love health. Let love flow through every thought and every act as a healing balm, restoring and renewing. It isn't magic, but it works like magic. The only true philosopher's stone with built-in properties that can change base metal into gold is the love of God. And that love is God's gift to you, to use in transforming the experiences of your life into rich adventures in loving. Saint Valentine's Day - never too late By The Reverend Samuel S. Thomas, Ph. D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston Yesterday was Saint Valentine's Day - or Valentine's Day. I hope you didn't forget! Like many of our holi- days, there is a religious connection. Valentine was a Christian priest ,: ' .* who was impris- oned during the - - persecutions of the -' y w Roman Emperor Claudius II, being put to death on the 14th of February in the year 270. Apparently, his Samuel S. jailor's daughter Thomas was kind to her father's prisoners and before his death Valentine wrote her a note of kindness, signing it "from your Valen- tine." From a long interweaving of pagan traditions and Christian folk- lore, we stand today with Valentine's Day being among the most celebrat- ed holidays in the world. I think what stands out about the holiday with its religious roots is that it speaks to something very basic in human beings and something very religious at the same time. Now and again, someone does something great; the person is long since forgotten but what was done lives on. Valentine's Day is one of those times. In fact, what Valentine did was to write a note of kindness to someone who was well integrated into the society of those who would put him to death. He was able to transcend the politics of the time, overcome the normally- understood feelings of hatred or at least dislike of his persecutors, able to stand above what was going on around him and speak to the com- mon human denominator - love. This is the key to the reason he is associat- ed with the day we remember loved ones and why he is remembered with it. Unselfish love is what the world still craves and what people have sought, will seek and what finally heals and restores. Our lord was put to the test by His detractors; a scribe asks Him: "Which commandment is first of all? (Mark 12:28)." The answer is "You shall love the Lord your God...(vs. 30). But Jesus went on: "The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself' (vs. 31)" and then added "there is no other commandment greater than these." Jesus used the plural, "these", mean- ing both are the greatest. This was the lesson and commandment that Valentine took to heart even under the worst of circumstances and even when he knew death was before him. What is worth noting about the commandment and the actions of Valentine is that there is a key of unselfishness about it all. This is not "getting the love 'you want" by exploitation or manipulation, it is out- pouring and self-sacrificing. Loving ones' neighbor, and especially those "neighbors" who have become spe- cial in our lives and whom we take into our lives as loved, means that they are respected and treated for what they are: God's creations and those who bear His image to us. They are not to be exploited, used, abused, manipulated, demeaned. We love our neighbors and those special ones around us on whom we concentrate our human love by respecting and demanding respect in return. We see others bearing the image of God; we must also bear that image and we are not to let others mistreat or abuse just because they supposedly "love" us. People have asked me about the ethi- cal parts of loving relationships and I ask in return, "Is the relationship one- sided or do both share equally in the work that makes the relationship grow and live?" People need to ask "Is there mutual satisfaction and joy, or is only one partner growing and the other is being stifled?" Martin Buber wrote that we seem to love things and use people when we ought to use things and love people. So many relationships come to an end these days and no wonder! They are built on faulty values, misunder- standings about what "love" really is and trying to make someone over in a human image and not the image of God planted in them. The Lord who said we are to love our neighbors as ourselves spoke to the sacredness of others and of our self-respect; our God-given dignity too. When we honor each other and ourselves by really loving them, we celebrate what makes us full and complete, what really satisfies us at our deepest being. That's love. Now, the day after the holiday, we might honor God and each other by looking at God's love and our response to it.

In his film "The God Who Wasn't There," Brian Flemming questions the existence ofv Jesus Christ, arguing that the biblical John Jesus is a Hicks myth, a legend based on allegorical stories that were never supposed to be seen as historical accounts. It's a provocative claim but not with- out precedent. We've experi- ence and overcome the "God is dead" movement, "The Last Temptation of Christ", and "The DaVinci Code." I don't believe this movie, which came out in DVD on January 31, poses a major threat in itself. There is some concern about those who don't have a strong biblical faith and understanding, but the real danger as I see it lies in their marketing ploy and their focus on reaching a young people. They advertised, "Blasphemy Challenge! Your soul is needed. Do you have the cajones to show the world how sure you are that the Christian God does- n't exist? The Rational Response Squad is giving away 1001 DVDs of The God Who Wasn't There. There's only one catch: We want your soul. It's simple. You record a short message damning your- self to Hell, you upload it to YouTube, and then we will send you a free "The God Who Was- n't There" DVD. It's that easy. You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere in your video you must say this phrase: "I deny the Holy Spirit." Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, "Whoever blas- phemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." Jesus will forgive you for just about anything, but He won't forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you're taking here. During December and Janu- ary, nearly 1,000 youth and young adults responded to chal- lenge. By accepting the chal- lenge, participants supposedly are showing others that there is nothing to fear from God, because he doesn't exist. Sounds similar to the line of the "father of lies" in Genesis 4-5, "You will not surely die," the ser- pent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God..." If they are wrong, they have supposedly consigned them- selves to an eternity in hell because they have committed the unpardonable sin. That's a high price to pay for a $25 video and a few moments of fame on YouTube. Actually, the term "unpardon- able sin" does not appear in the Bible. The biblical lines that have given rise to the notion of an unpardonable sin actually appear in three of the gospels: Mark 3:28-29, Matthew 12:31-32 and Luke 12:10. In context, Jesus is saying that His oppo- nents were attributing the heal- ing work of God to Satan. If they will not acknowledge God, there is no way they can avail them- selves of God's forgiveness. The work of the Holy Spirit is to reveal God's truth to us and to convict us of our sins. Thus, the only way to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit is to reject what the Spirit reveals to us, to refuse the conviction and deny God's truth. Thus we do not repent, for we think we have nothing to repent of. And if we will not repent, we cannot be forgiven. And if we persist in that way long enough, we eventually lose the ability to hear the Spirit or perceive the need to seek for- giveness. In other words, it is our unwillingness to repent that makes a sin unpardonable, not God's unwillingness to forgive us. In John 6:37, Jesus states, "anyone who comes to me I will never drive away." (For context, read 6:35-40.) With those words, Jesus said that He would welcome anyone who came to Him. Anyone. No exceptions, if only they will come. The irony is that all those who have gone online to "deny the Holy Spirit" through the Blas- phemy Challenge have only to listen to the prompting of that Spirit within, turn to Christ and be forgiven. If they do that, even their denial of the Spirit will be forgiven. That's what I'm pray- ing for. The salvation God offers through Jesus is complete. Nothing is left unpardoned.

Main St., _L.__.- Belle Glade, FL 0 ADP S 33430 ..... r , L DPFWP/EOE/M/F a few things must be ruled out. It is important to have a recent work up done for Jza Jza to make sure there are no underlying reasons for this new problem. As a dog gets older sometimes the kidneys can have problems which may cause symptoms such as drinking a lot and urinating a lot. Also, kidneys may have trouble fil- tering well' and their efficiency may be compromised. Sometimes these problems will show up as incontinence. Having routine blood chemistries run can deter- mine how the organs are function- ing. A urinalysis would be helpful too. This can determine if there is a urinary tract infection or a kidney filtering problem. Many times if the kidney problem is addressed, then the incontinence can be mini- mized. Changing Jza Jza's food to a higher quality lower quantity protein diet may be helpful as well. - If in fact it is determined that the incontinence is true, then there are several choices for therapy. Some of the incontinence medications have other side effects, so it is ben- eficial to determine which is the lesser of two evils. Belinda, start off by making an appointment with your veterinari- an to discuss these options. The sooner the better, so you can address any potential serious problems ASAP. Keep me posted.
