Mr. Whidden, who opponents argued lacked the experience for the job, captured the majority of the votes of residents that night. Mr. Whidden ran a successful campaign that promised citizens a fundamental change within the operation of the county de- partment -- a department that is challenged by a shrinking budget and overcrowded jail system. Both Mr. Whidden and Mr. Lee were unavailable for com- ment. Drawn to polling places to Homecoming: Clewiston celebrates cast their selection for United States president, nearly 65 per- cent of all registered voters in the county exercised their right to vote in this election, an increase of eight percent from the previ- ous presidential race in 2004. Hendry County went to John McCain, with 52 percent of the vote, although Barack Obama easily captured the nationwide race. In a razor-thin contest, Phil- lip Pelletier defeated Kristina A. Kulpa for property appraiser. with parade dft,- Fqm" IN I/Ashley Smith Many residents came out on Friday, Oct. 31 to celebrate Clewiston High School's Home- coming Game. The celebration proved worthwhile, with the Tigers edging out the visiting team later that night. II/Ansmley amiln Various creative displays were on hand at the Tigers' Homecoming Parade last Friday. The parade was a perfect way to start off Halloween day. The .05 percentile difference -- a total of five votes -- was the deciding factor in this race, but election officials say that such a negligible amount automatically qualifies for a recount. Officials have eight days to conduct the recount. Another closely watched race was that of superintendent of schools. Rick Murphy defeated Robert Egley by capturing 58 percent of the votes cast. And a contentious Clewiston referendum was narrowly ap- proved by voters, 52.25 percent voting yes, 47.75 percent voting no to a change in the charter that firmly establishes the city man- ager/commission form of gov- ernment in Clewiston. In other races: Barbara Cox Butler defeated Jennifer Davis for clerk of court, with 54 percent of the vote Janet Taylor retains her seat as county commissioner district See Results Page 12 Consideration to license all handymen By Patty Brant INI Florida Community Development Director Vince Cautero brought a suggestion to consider includ- ing a "handyman" category for inclusion under the Construc- tion Licensing Board (CLB). At present, handymen are not licensed by the county, there is no oversight and no definition of their scope of work. He said the CLB is rec- ommending that the ordinance be amended to include handy- men with regard to oversight, the scope of work allowable; required experience and exam- ination requirements; financial responsibility and good charac- ter of the applicant; and liabil- ity and workers' compensation insurance coverage. The board voted unani- mously to amend the current construction board ordinance to cover handymen. At present, handymen are only required to have an occupational license. Pioneer Park a no go Director of Grants and Spe- cial Projects Ron Zimmerly re- ported on the Oct. 24 meeting in Pioneer Plantation to dis- cuss a proposed Off Highway Vehicle park. He reported that the majority of the community is opposed to the park, citing issues like noise pollution, law enforcement problems with riders and inadequate access to the site. Although some Pioneer resi- dents and other Hendry County residents do want a place to ride, they felt the Pioneer site was too small to be appropri- ate. Mr. Zimmerly raised the prospect of working with Lee County on a joint site, but the commissioners felt it would only benefit Lee and Collier residents. Commissioner Kevn Mc- Carthy preferred not to make a decision immediately, but to look at other sites and opportu- nities. Commissioner Harris felt any such park should be self supporting. Dance hall approved Azteca Supercentro, SR 29S, requested a special excep- tion to allow a dance hall on the premises. It had been the site of a dance hall previously. Hours of operation are to be Monday-Thursday 4-10 p.m., Friday-Sunday 9 p.m.-2 a.m. After discussion, the request was approved 3-1, with Com- missioner Darrell Harris voting nay. Mr. Harris was concerned about possible law enforce ment patrolling problems. In other business: The board approved a Planned Unit Development zoning ordinance to allow wa- ter management, asphalt, con- crete and horticultural recycling operations on a 32-acre site on SR 82 in Felda, on the north side of the Hendry-Lee line. See Meeting Page 1 Old South BBQ resurrected Former cook serves up a long-gone menu By Jose Jesus Zaragoza Clewiston News CLEWISTON -- What is good barbecue? Is it the way it's cooked ... or prepared? Is it based on how rich the color is on the sur- face? Or the way that it smells being set on the table? Is it the price, or the speed with which it comes? The owners of the Clewiston Inn say they have the answer. They know what good bar- becue is, and his name is Skin- ner. Colbert Skinner. A rarity in a world of homo- geneity, Mr. Skinner is a dying breed: A cook since the tender (pun intended) age of 16, Mr. Skinner allows no shortcuts in his preparation of fine barbe- cue. The only items frozen in his kitchen at the historic inn are the ice cubes and his closest friends are bundles of brisket, found in abundance right before lunchtime at the establishment. You won't find large, industrial machines that do all the cook- ing, you'll find Skinner, working away at injecting as much flavor into dishes as beef will allow. "He's a local legend," said Floyd Salkey, who along with partner Yasir Khan, owns and manages the inn. "He always sells out at festivals and he is a great addition to our team." Years ago, and the reason many argue Clewiston was on the map, signs all across U.S. 27 announced to motorists that they were nearing Old South's BBQ. Some traveled quite a ways to enjoy the food, and Skinner was there to help make sure they left happy. Through the years, the es- tablishment exchanged hands, and an absentee owner let the See Barbecue Page 12 INI/Ashley Smith Yasir Khan, left, and Floyd Salkey are hoping that customers will return to the barbecue that made Clewiston so famous years ago. Volume 83, Number 19 Thursday, November 6, 2008 500 News 1 Tigers Squeak Past Inlet Grove, 27-26 By Jeff Barwick Whew! It was truly a Hallow- een type of game Friday night at Cane Field and Clewiston almost got tricked instead of treated by the visiting Hurricanes. The con- test, which likely in the end will dictate who wins the District 2A 6 championship, was about as ex- citing a football game as anyone can remember. After Inlet Grove scored a touchdown on a 26-yard pass with no time remaining on the clock, it all came down to the point after kick as they tried to tie the game and send it to overtime. For the second time in the game, Tiger Darris Hughes found a seam in the line and busted through to block the kick and seal the vic- tory. Clewiston kicked off, gave up a quick first down and then held Inlet Grove on downs. The Tigers first possession began at the Inlet Grove 45 after a bad snap forced the punter to run the ball and he was nailed for a 10-yard loss. Im- mediately, it became apparent that the Hurricane defense was stacked to stop the Tiger run- ning attack, led by tailback Dar- ris Hughes. So the Tigers went a different way, using the fullback duo of Leonard Newton and Fred Washington. Newton ploughed for 17 and added 9 yards. Quar- terback Isandro Marquez then hit wideout Jonathan Brown for a 11 yard gain to the 14. From there, Newton went off the left side and found no hole but bounced to the outside and raced for the pylon to score. Marquez' kick was just off the mark to the right. Inlet Grove came back to score with 3:18 left in the half when quarterback Terry Bradden connected on an 18 yard pass to Tyrico McGriff and Ruben Vincent tacked on the point after to put the Tigers down, 7-6. With 1:04 left in the second period, safety Jamarcus Smith picked off an errant Bradden pass and raced down the far sideline for 48 yards to score. Clewiston went for a two point conversion and Hughes plowed within inches of the goal line but was ruled short. The Tigers clearly monopo- lized the first half but blew two other scoring opportunities on a field goal attempt that went array on a snap problem and a fumble. Despite only holding a 12-6 half- time lead, the Tiger faithful were optimistic based on the ball con- trol and good defense exhibited to that point. The third period was a little more reassuring as Hughes took the kickoff and raced 67 yards to the Hurricane 15, Four snaps later, Hughes got the final yard on a plunge. The Tigers went for another two-point play and this time Mar- quez found tight end Vontavious Allen all alone in the end zone for the points. After an exchange of punts, the Tigers got rolling when Marquez hit Newton with a pass in the flats and he turned up field for a nifty 24 yard gain. But 5 snaps later, Hughes fumbled after a hard hit and the Hurricane's re- covered. After a Bradden pass for 28 yards and a short run, Bradden dropped back to pass and took off running. At 6'2" and about 230 pounds, he was dragging the Tiger secondary along with him for 16 yards and then he pitched the ball back to a streaking Eddie Coley who raced the remaining 30 yards to score. Then Hughes got his first blocked extra point of the night, which in the final analysis was just as important as the one he got on the last play of the game. Clewiston came right back with Jamarcus Smith reeling off a 49 yard kickoff return to the Inlet Grove 36. Hurricane penalties for a facemask and personal foul and a few short runs got the Tigers to the 5. From there, Marquez then hit his other tight end Julio Ramos with a scoring strike and then Marquez converted the point after to give the Tigers a 27-13 lead. As the third period ended, Ti- ger cornerback Ricky Martinez in- tercepted a Bradden pass to give Clewiston the ball near midfield. But the Tigers could not make a first down and turned the ball over on downs. Then the night- mare began. Bradden, the lead- ing passer in the area, connected for a 45 yard gain in between a 10 yard penalty against them and a 24 yard loss on a high snap. Just when it looked as if they were stopped, Bradden connected across the middle to wideout Mike Ruiz who raced through defend- ers before getting smacked hard at the Tiger 20 and coughing up the ball. As it rolled towards the end zone, Tiger linebacker Dillon Irey tried to get the loose ball but it just skipped further into the end zone and Keith Huff fell on it for a Hurricane touchdown. Vincent converted and narrowed the gap to 27-20. The Tigers got the ball back twice on punts but could make no progress either series and punted the ball back to the Hurricanes with only 53 seconds left in the game and 65 yards between them and the Tiger goal line. Bradden quickly completed 3 passes for 9, 8 and 17 yards to reach the Tiger 30. After two incomplete passes, he was forced from the pocket but the Tigers were flagged for a facemask penalty moving the ball to the 15. Bradden first pass fell incomplete and Irey then laid him out with a 6 yard sack but as Bradden was falling he attempted to throw the ball and was flagged for intentional grounding stop- ping the clock with only 7 seconds left. Despite all the Tiger defend- ers deep, Bradden located Layton Haynes in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown as time expired. Then with the crowd in a roaring frenzy, Hughes slipped through and knocked down the extra point kick to end the game. Clewiston improved their re- cord to 6-2 overall and 3-0 in the district. Inlet Grove dropped to 3-1 in the district. Clewiston travels to Boca Raton Friday to play St. An- drews, who is 2-1 in the district. A win would give the Tigers their third consecutive sweep of the district and home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs which will begin on November 21. A loss would force a 3-way tiebreaker contest on Monday, November 10 either at Cane Field or Inlet Grove. The team having the best record at that point in the season will host the game. Tiger tailback churned out 111 yards on 27 tries and now is within 2 yards of breaking Clewis- ton's all time rushing record for a season. Thomas Washington set the record of 1,527 yards in 1990. Quarterback Isandro Marquez had another good night passing with 6 completions on 8 attempts for 62 timely yards and a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Defensively, Linebacker Leon- ard Newton led the charge with 6 tackles. Dillon Irey had 4 tackles and that key sack late in the game. Defensive end Adam Trevino also had a blocked pass. The Tigers had to play without the services of Lamarcus Thick- lin, who normally plays on both sides of the ball. Thicklin was ejected from the Pope John Paul game on a highly questionable call and the Florida High School Athletic Association imposed a 3 game penalty, which is under ap- peal. Thicklin was being held by his leg long after a play had ended and he was trying to shake his leg free. The official threw a flag and penalized Thicklin for kicking an opponent, which was clearly not the case.

Main St BELLE GLADE (adjacent o Wendys & KFC - - -" - ~ ''"-- -'- - - Raiders roll over Pembroke Pines By Jeff Barwick Although they fell behind on an early score by the Jaguars, Glades Central wasted little time afterwards in smashing to a deci- sive victory as they assured them- selves of a playoff appearance. If the Raiders win as favored against Suncoast this week, then they will capture their 16th consecutive district title. The Raiders (8-0 and 3-0 in dis- trict play) scored touchdowns on all five drives in the first half com- bining a potent air and ground attack. Running back Antoine Chisolm led the offense with touchdown runs of 25, 35 and 10 yards and also caught a L.J. Thomas pass for a 54 yard score. Thomas completed 11 or 14 at- tempts for 295 yards and 3 scores. Wideout Rantavious Wooten pulled in 6 passes for 169 yards including touchdowns catches of 27 and 48 yards. Flanker Kelvin Benjamin also caught 2 touch- down passes on throws of 10 and 3 yards by backup quarterbacks Alanda Shaw and Kentavious Mc- Coy. The Glades Central defense was swarming all night as they held the Jaguars to under 95 yards of total offense and only 6 first downs. Blue Devils shutout Cardinal Newman The Crusaders' game plan called for keeping the ball away from the Pahokee offense. And, it almost worked early in the first period but after that it was lights out as Cardinal Newman got a lesson in the explosiveness of the Pahokee offense. Perhaps outshining the offensive perfor- mance, Pahokee held the Crusad- ers to 22 yards of total offense. Once the Blue Devils got the ball, it only took three plays be- fore tailback Vincent Smith broke free and raced for a 59 yard score. Smith added a 67-yard touchdown scamper in the third period. In the second period, Paho- kee scored on a 13 yard fumble return by linebacker Brandin. Hawthorne. Then quarterback Emanuel Perez hooked up on consecutive snaps for touchdown passes of 55 yards to Nu'Keese Richardson and 50 yards to Dex- ter Holmes. Perez completed 6 of 12 throws for 160 yards. Cur- tis Daley got the Blue Devil's final touchdown on a 1 yard dive in the final period. The Blue Devils improved their record to 7-1 overall and 3-0 in district play, having already cap- tured the district crown. Pahokee travels to Vero Beach for a non- district contest this Friday. Gators fall to Kings The Gators got off to a great start and scored on their first pos- session when wideout DeAndres Jackson lined up as a deep back, took a direct snap racing 33 yards for the touchdown. Unfortunate- ly, that was Glades Day's last seri- ous offensive drive in the game as the Lions posted 41 unanswered points. Standout Glades Day tailback Kelvin Taylor had a tough night as he was held to 65 yards in 15 carries. Likewise, senior quar- terback Bo Schlechter was held in check as he completed 4 of 16 passes for 36 yards. Defensively, the Gators could not stop the Kings Academy potent rushing offense that had 300 yards on 35 attempts and controlled the ball most of the game. Terriers slammed by Island Coast, 47-14 Moore Haven's talented pass- ing attack, led by quarterback Dal- MOST INSURANCE ton Britt and senior wide receiver ACCEPTED. Xavier Fagan, was no match for the Gators, a first year varsity pro- gram from Cape Coral. Island CLEWISTON OKEECHOBEE Coast had put the game out of 805-0030 467-6767 reach by halftime, having built up 112 W.C. Owen S. 301 NE 19th Drive a 31-14 advantage. (Next to the hospital) Britt was impressive as he completed 19 of 29 passes for 315 ww.wederm.com yards. Fagan, the leading receiver in the State, pulled in 10 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown. But in the end, the Island coast ground game just outmatched the Terriers and ate up the game r clock. But the Moore Haven run- ning game was locked up all night and was held to a minus 5 yards on 19 tries. The Terrier effort was also not helped by more than 100 yards in penalties. The Terriers fell to 4-4 on the season and travel to Glades Day this Friday for a district contest. However, Moore Haven's 0-2 re- cord in district play has eliminated them from the playoff picture.

Plan now for November It is time to organize your schedule so that you can take the time off during Thanksgiving week to attend the Big "0" Hike around Lake Okeechobee. The Hike will begin in Pahokee on Nov. 22, and end at Pahokee on Nov. 30. That's nine days of walking from 9 to 14 miles a day to make it all the way around the lake. There is a little bit of a challenge to this walk. Hundreds of people have tried over the years and (for some rea- son) only about 20 to 30 percent of the walkers manage to finish the 9 days. So plan now and get in shape for November. For further information please call Paul at 561-963-9906. Sponsor a pet People who love pets but can- not adopt one for one reason or another now have another way to help. Caloosa Humane Society has just added a feature to its pet list on Petfinder.com called Spon- sor a Pet. With a simple click of a button, a visitor can make a donation to a pet's care. To see pets available to sponsor, visit www.dogncat.pet- finder.com.

One of the major yearlong projects the students and faculty are working on is the Nestle Pure Life Water Bottle collection. The school is collecting not only the bottles for recycling, but the labels from the Nestle bottles. The labels are then saved and redeemed for physi- cal education equipment for the school. The biggest goal is to save more labels than any other reg- istered school in the nation! The one school who saves the most during the months of September through February will learn a new playground for their school! So far, Westside has collected nearly 5,000 labels. Our goal is over 15,000. Westside invites the community to join us in our quest for new physical education equipment and the possibility of a new playground. For anyone interested in helping us reach our goal, please call 863-983-1570 and a representative from the school will be more than happy to pick up the bottles and the labels!

CCS says Thank You! Westside A.R. Rally Westside students have trav- eled back in time with the Acceler- ated Reader (A.R.) Program. This year's theme is Westside Travels Through Time. Each grade level selected a period of time to focus on throughout the school year. They range from Prehistoric times to Early American Wild West, and even the Space Age! In the school's first A.R. Rally, West- side's very own Blues Brothers performed to pump the students up and reviled a time machine they built to take them back in time. At the end of the rally, the Blues Brother's jumped into their time machine and headed for Prehistoric times. On November 7, 2008 at 9:00 a.m., Westside's Blues Brothers will be back in our second A.R. Rally of the year, this time with a quarter challenge for Principal Mr. Shearer and As- sistant Principal Mr. Duckstein. Both will randomly draw teach- er's names to build their teams for a dinosaur egg race. Students will also be recognized for their accomplishments with the A.R. program. This year, students who achieve their individual goal will receive an engraved metal cuff as an incentive.

When Sonny's restaurant burned down and left a void in barbecue offer- ings, Yassir and Floyd aren't afraid to say they saw the opportunity and fast-tracked their plans to of- fer the new menu items. The owners of the Inn are a few weeks away from unveiling a number of signs adhering to the old design and will be placing them throughout the area. The eventual goal is to mirror some of the former locations with place- ment along the major corridors leading to Clewiston from Miami, Ft. Myers, etc. One of the signs is visible from U.S. 27, on entering Clewiston just before the railroad tracks. "We're bringing that history back," said Mr. Salkey. Despite less-than-perfect eco- nomic conditions affecting the country at the moment, the own- ers of the inn say they have been posting strong sales that continue improving month after month. "Like everything else, you just INI/Ashley Smith Colbert Skinner, on right, prepares to cut a brisket just in time for lunch.

Providing the barbecue that residents remember eating years ago, he said, is simply another way of keeping the customers happy. And happy is what Skinner is shooting for. About 50 separate ingredients go into making the original Old South barbecue recipe, including real local sugar. Mr. Salkey is a rib fan himself, while he promises that any item on the menu is cooked to please, including the chicken, the pulled pork, mac and cheese and corn- bread. The biggest compliment so far is when an incredulous customer sits down and wonders whether it will compare to their mom's cooking. "Well, try this, I think you'll be surprised," Mr. Salkey tells them. The duo was going for afford- ability, and most items on the menu are within the single-digit numbers. "This falls in line with every- body's budget," Mr. Salkey said. The Clewiston Inn still offers its colonial menu, featuring all the staple favorites of residents: the steaks and the lobster bisque, but at least now there'll be a choice. Whether you want to enjoy a The lives and customs of Calua Society By Butch Wilson Clewiston Museum Director The black void of the night was a mere rehearsal of a darker ceremony to come, an event so sinister that only humans could seek solace and justification in its treachery.... human sacrifices. Fifty captives, who had en- dured months of harsh slavery, now lay bound awaiting the de- pravity of their captors. The priests, painted in black and wearing gruesome, carved masks that represented their dei- ties, emerged from the temple, frolicking across the temple mound grounds. Hours later, the priests ap- proached the captives and select- ed the first victim. Warriors held the screaming victim as a priest severed the head. This act was re- peated until the bodies of 50 vic- tims lay on the temple grounds. This fictional story is based on a document written by a wit- ness to this event. Temples and human sacrifices were woven together in the religious practices of the Calusa. It was a simple equation: temple + captive = sacrifice. There was probably a temple located at the old mound ruins in Clewiston. What captive would have ever thought that piece of real estate would one day be known as America's Sweetest Town? It is now time to leave the faint hearted behind and take "A Walk in The Past." to learn about the Calusa society and religion. The Calusa society was a class system, the nobility and the com- moners. The commoners did most of the work, but benefited the least. Some Spanish docu- ments stated that commoner's status would be raised in the tribe if their child was offered as a sac rifice when a chief's child died. Slavery was last on the list in the social order of the Calusa. The Chief of the Calusa was called cacique. His regal clothing included a forehead ornament and beaded leg bands. He was greatly respected; commoners presented themselves to the chief with hands raised and palms up. The chief would then place his hands over the upturned palms. Incest was permitted only with the ruling chief, who was required to first marry his sister. Polygamy was permissible in Calusa soci- ety. The king could marry and take additional wives after he had married his sister. When a chief or wife number one died, some of their servants were killed to ac- company them to the next world. When the child of a chief died, children were sacrificed The Calusa believed that a per- son had three souls. The first was the small pupil of the eye; the sec- ond was the shadow that a per- son cast, and the third was a per- son's reflection in a mirror or on calm water. When a person died, two souls left the body, but the third soul (the pupil of the eye) re- mained forever with the skeleton. T he Calusa would go to the grave of a deceased person and ask for advice. The deceased would talk to the person (thoughts) giving them the answers they sought. When a person became sick, they believed that one of the souls had left the body. A shaman would search for it in the woods and drive it back to the village like a herdsman corralling sheep. Fires were lit around the door to prevent the soul from leaving again. Ceremonies were then per- formed that would put the soul back into the sick person through the nape of the neck. The death of a person freed two souls, one en- tered a fish or animal, and when that critter died the soul went to a lesser creature until eventually the soul was reduced to nothing. Calusa believed the world was governed by three Gods and that the first God was greater than the other two. The first God governed the heavens and seasons, the sec- ond God governed kingdoms, and the third God helped in war. The shaman or priest played an important role in religious practices. A large sacred shelter called a temple was set apart from the other mounds. The Chief and priest would enter the temple to perform secret ceremonies. Masks were carved from cypress and stored along the walls of the temple. The elaborate masks were colored with berry juices and sap from rubber trees. The priests wore the masks when they performed rituals in the village. The priest performed human sacrifices once a year. Many of the castaways were sacrificed to the Calusa Gods. The victims were led out after the Calusa priests had danced with the cer- emonial masks for several hours. Each victim was beheaded, and the head was held while the priest completed the dance rituals. The heads were buried close to the temple mound. This edition is gruesome, but historically records the social and religious practices of the Calusa. The Calusa were a complex so- ciety with law and order, but de- praved in their religion. It is sad, but true, that the history of hu- manity reveals the same tainted heart. There will be other "Tall Tales" in next weeks edition of "A Walk in The Past" when Fontanedo describes the Indian nations that paid tribute to the Calusa. I hope you have enjoyed this story.
