Strachan Citizen of the Year Anquan Boldin, a three-time NFL Pro Bowler, receives 'Key to the City' By Naji Tobias The Sun PAHOKEE - Margaret Strachan was visibly in tears when learning about her selection as Citizen of the Year. Choked up as she accepted the award from Julia Hale, the 2006 winner, Strachan seemed to be at a loss of words. But the Pahokee Church of God member overcame her emo- tions and spoke briefly on what receiving the city's highest honor meant to her. "1 feel so honored," she said. "Whatever I did for this com- munity came from my heart." As Hale went on to introduce Pahokee's 2008 Citizen of the Year, she talked about how Stra- chan came to the aid of a senior citizen, who she said is known as the 'oldest' mother at Pahokee Church of God. With the senior citizen in ques- tion having a broken wrist, Hale noted how Strachan once shelled peas, bagged them and delivered them to the elderly woman's doorstep. During last year's Mother's Day, Strachan used her personal finances to buy gifts for the se- nior citizen, Hale went on to tell the Pahokee Chamber Banquet attendees. An employee of Aplegren Cor- poration, Strachan is best known for networking with a variety of Palm Beach County agencies in efforts to provide food for the needy and toys for the youth. "During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, you could see her working heartily, rapidly sep- arating can goods and other food items, to ensure that all families have enough to eat," Hale said of Strachan.

According to an arrest report from the Palm Beach County Sher- iff's Office (PBSO), the apprehen- sion of Yousef Shatara, 42, came after deputies executed a search warrant at Playaz Choice Depart- ment Store in Belle Glade. Teri Barbera, the PBSO spokes- woman, said that the search war- rant was authorized as part of a three-month long investigation into complaints of counterfeit mer- chandise being sold in the store. Playaz Choice, owned by the defendant, is located at 324 W Ave. A. The defendant reportedly told investigators the details of his crim- inal actions after voluntarily waiv- ing his Miranda rights, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Beaming with excitement, Taylor is hap- py for what he and his teammates accom- plished at last week's Class 1A-4 regional track championships. Since no girls from Glades Day qualified for the Apr. 24 regionals, held at Westmin- ster Academy, it was just the boys who had the opportunity to represent the Gator faith- ful. They did just that, with the boys 4 x 100 team, consisting of Taylor, Eaton Spence, Amir Pollock and Davonte Allen, finishing third overall (44.79 seconds). It must be noted that all except for Taylor are sophomores, which is an accomplish- ment in itself. Taylor was especially proud of Joshua Thornton, who captured a gold medal in the 400-meter event final with a laser-re- corded time of 49.58 seconds. Thornton, who's only a sophomore, will come into tomorrow's Class 1A state meet as one of the favorites to take home the gold medal. He has a chance to improve on his fourth-place finish from last year, when he competed in the 400 as a freshman. "J.T. [Joshua Thornton] works real hard in practice everyday," Taylor said of Thorn- ton. "He's self-motivated and he never need- ed the coaches to tell him what to do," he continued. "Josh told me before the meet that he was gonna win the 400 and he did just that." Taylor is also proud of what Pollock ac- complished, as he finished third in the 100- meter final (11.94 seconds). "Amir told me that he wanted to push himself to a higher level," Taylor said. "He wanted to win the 100 really bad," he continued. Though Amir didn't capture gold, he has a chance to do so tomorrow as he qualified for the Class IA state meet. The other Glades Day qualifier was Ryan Soriano, who finished third in the 300-meter hurdles final (43.35 seconds). Soriano, a senior, barely missed the cut in the 110-meter hurdles as he placed fifth in the final (17.02). Only the top four finishers in each event qualify for the May 1 Class 1A state meet, which will be held in Winter Park. Glades Day's boys 4 x 100 relay team will get to compete against Moore Haven, who placed second overall in last Thursday's (Apr. 23) 4 x 100 relay race at the Class 1A-3 regional track meet.

Raiders wins two gold medals at Class 2A-4 regionals Pahokee and Glades Central 4 x 100 boys teams qualify for state By Naji Tobias INI Florida MIAMI - Only a handful of track stars from "The Muck" qualified for this weekend's Class 2A state meet. Neither team from Glades Central or Pa- hokee - boys and girls - came anywhere near winning the Class 2A-Region 4 title, held on Saturday, Apr. 25 in Miami. As a matter of fact, there were actually just two individual gold medalists last week- end at this past weekend's track regionals. Glades Central Raiders seniors Vanessa Anthony and Willie Johnson captured first place in the girls 100-meter hurdles and the boys long jump, respectively. Anthony, who's seeking to win the gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles on Saturday, May. 2, edged out a pair of Dooling girls from American Heritage (Plantation) in the 100- meter hurdles final. The Glades Central hurdler finished the race at 15.14 seconds, ahead of sophomore Rasheeda Dooling (15.22) and eighth-grader Khadeeja Dooling (15.25). In the 300-meter hurdles final, however, Anthony failed to capture gold in this meet for the second straight year, finishing second at 45.23 seconds. If Anthony wants to capture state gold in the 300-meter hurdles again, she'll have to avenge her loss to Reagan/Doral's junior Danielle Aromashodu, who won the event with a time of 45.01. Anthony's teammate, Martha Jaimes, fell just short of qualifying for the state meet in the 300 hurdles, finishing fifth in the final. Jaimes was clocked in at 47.14 seconds, though her preliminary time was second best at the regional meet (46.34). Fortunately for Jaimes, she'll be joining Anthony in Saturday's state meet in the 4 x 400 relay. Glades Central's girls finished second overall (4:03.34), behind only Archbishop McCarthy (4:03.06). The 4 x 400 team consists of Anthony, Jai- mes, Hentoya Parker (junior) and Erica Wint (senior). Anthony has an opportunity to capture three state gold medals this weekend - here's hoping she can do just that. No girl from the Pahokee Blue Devils qualified for the Class 2A state track meet, with the 4 X 100 relay team coming the clos- est (seventh- 50.87). For the Pahokee boys, only the 4 x 100 relay team made it to the state meet, as they finished second in the regionals (42.51). Pahokee's relay team, which consists of De'Joshua Johnson (junior), Merill Noel (junior), Nu'Keese Richardson (senior) and Latwan Rutledge (senior), lost to defending Class 2A champion Miami-Monsignor Pace, who clocked in at 41.87 seconds. Johnson, who failed to qualify at this year's state meet in the 200 and 400-meter events, explained how it all went down. "We had a baton exchange we almost dropped in the 4 x 100," Johnson said. "That's the only reason why Miami Pace won the regionals. "We're focusing right now on our baton exchanges in practice, we're working real hard at it," he continued. "If we don't drop the baton, then we'll win the whole thing this weekend." Glades Central's 4 x 100 team, which con- sists of Tavares Crawford (junior), Charles Dowers (senior), Willie Johnson (senior) and Rantavious Wooten (senior), finished third with a time of 43.23. Interestingly, in the prelims, Glades Cen- tral (42.71) had a faster time than Pahokee (42.77). Nonetheless, Johnson knows it's the fi- nals that actually counts. "No disrespect to Glades Central, but it was the least of my worries," Johnson said. ,"I knew they couldn't beat us in the 4 x 100," "But now at state, it's not us against Glades Central," he continued. "It's the Muck (Glades Central and Paho- kee) against everyone else." Wooten bestedJohnson the 200 final, fin- ishing fourth at 22.23 seconds. Johnson, who was expected to qualify for state in his two individual events, finished sixth in the 200 (22.82). Johnson actually had a better time than Wooten in the 200-meter prelims (22.24 - Johnson; 22.71 - Wooten). But at the end of the day, it was Miami Pace's Kayvon Webster (21.62) who won the 200, squeaking by Suncoast's Tony Mc- Quay (21.63). Rutledge failed to qualify for state in the 100-meter final, finishing eighth overall (12.80). For Glades Central, four boys joined Woo- ten as state qualifiers. Johnson won the long jump at 23-1 1/2, while Jim Knowles (senior) came in third in the shot put (45-6 1/2) and Rupert Bryan came in fourth in the discus (144-01). Patrick Billings, a senior, qualified for the state meet in the 800-meter event, finishing fourth with a time of 2:01.80. Demetrius Evans, who captured gold in high jump at the District 13-2A meet, failed to qualify for state as he tied for eighth place (5-10). Egbert Johnson, a close friend of Billings, did not qualify for state in the 800, finishing 11th (2:11.79). But he was happy about Billings making it this far for the first time. "Ever sine his ninth grade year, my boy Patrick always made it regionals but never made it to state," Johnson said of Billings. "Even though I didn't make it in the 800, I felt like I did when he made it," he contin- ued. "I was more excited for Pat than he was, I know how much this means to him." Johnson summed up what the Class 2A state meet actually means for everyone. "To be real, when it comes down to state, it's a whole different level", he said. "It's only the best of the best and if you're not at the tip-top of your game, you won't do too good." Only the top four finishers in each event qualified for this weekend's Class 2A state meet, which will be held in Winter Park.

I // 0 1*w Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee April 30, 2009 USDA Livestock Disaster program requires documentation of loss Eligible producers urged to begin compiling proof of loss GAINESVILLE, Fla.-According to Deb- by Folsom, Acting State Executive Director for USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Florida, livestock producers who incurred eligible livestock death losses due to adverse weather events on or after Jan. 1, 2008, and before Oct. 1, 2011, should begin gathering related loss documentation in accordance with FSA's Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provisions. "Losses because of adverse weather, as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture during the calendar year, including bliz- zards, disease, extreme cold, extreme heat, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires, are eligible for LIP," said Ms. Folsom. Producers are advised that verifiable death loss documentation will not be ac- cepted by FSA County Offices until LIP ap- plications are filed. Adequate documentation must prove the death of eligible livestock occurred as a direct result of an eligible adverse weather event in the calendar year for which benefits are being requested. If adequate verifiable proof of death re- cords documentation is not available, a live- stock producer may provide reliable records, along with verifiable beginning and ending inventory, as proof of death. Certifications of livestock deaths by third parties may be accepted only if verifiable proof of death records or reliable proof of death records along with verifiable begin- ning and ending inventory records are not available. A third party statement is an inde- pendent source who is not affiliated with the farming operation, such as a hired hand or a family member. "Our staff can provide producers with a list of acceptable proof of death, producer records and verifiable inventory documenta- tion," said Folsom. "LIP indemnity payments will be 75 percent of the fair market value of the livestock as determined by the Com- modity Credit Corporation (CCC), Additional information about LIP is avail- able at FSA County Offices or by visiting the national FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov. FWC and partners say 'Get Outdoors!' As the capitol building in Tallahassee loomed in the background, more than 40 kids came together in a park to enjoy the outdoors, hours after Gov. Charlie Crist and his Cabinet approved on March 24, a resolu- tion containing the Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights. The Get. Outdoors Florida! coalition, a partnership of land managers, government agencies, children's advocates, health care professionals, public interest groups and other individuals, sponsored the resolution. The resolution encourages everyone to bring families and children back to nature. "We strive to engage families in outdoor experiences that will help them achieve healthier lifestyles and gain an appreciation of Florida's natural resources," said Bob Wattendorf, with the Florida Fish and Wild- life Conservation Commission (FWC), one of the coalition's partners. "The focus is on safe and ecologically sustainable, nature- based activities that can be enjoyed for a lifetime." As the children practiced casting for "backyard bass" with FWC staff, ran an ob- stacle course replete with hurdles and then snacked on fruits provided by Capital Health Plan, they smiled, cheered and clapped, all the while burning a fully renewable energy all their own. Meanwhile, other kids stimulated their brains and powers of observation by using modern GPS devices to locate and learn about some of Florida's popular wildlife with help from the U.S. Forest Service and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. They interacted with professional handlers from the Tallahassee Museum who showed off baby alligators, owls and tad- poles. Kids learned how to use binoculars to spot birds, while also learning about the winged creatures' habitats, thanks to folks from the FWC's Great Florida Birding Trail. Florida Disabled Outdoors Association provided the inspiration and proof that no matter what physical challenges people face, there is always a way to get outdoors and enjoy nature. Research published by the Children and Nature Organization has shown that an array of major national health issues are related to reduced physical activity and a reduced con- nection with nature. Negative effects from this disconnect include obesity, attention deficit disorder, impaired social skills, high- er stress levels, asthma and poorer perfor- mance in the classroom.

Even Nature anguished at man's cru- elty, as the column of emaciated Indians shuffled slowly down the forest corridor. The long line of sorrowful faces ex- pressed the brutality of a nightmarish journey that started in the southern fring- es of La Florida. The Mayaisis Indians had been cap- tured in the remote fastness of the Ever- glades, where they were whipped and herded like wild, Spanish cattle, along a vast Florida wilderness to their final des- tination, Charles Town, a city famous for its notorious slave auctions. There one's identity was stripped, sold and lost in the infamous Slave Trade that flourished in the Americas. Charles Town was renamed Charles- ton and became a great city of commerce in the South, due to its deep water port. As the African slave trade grew, it be- came an important calling place for slave ships making the "Atlantic Passage" and eventually became a prominent slave center in America. In 1861, Charleston fired the first shot in a deadly duel between the Blue and the Grey that swept the nation into Civil War. The war would quickly turn into a blood-bath, smothering out the lives of over 600,000 men and devastating our nation. One must ponder the verse, "The Sins of the Fathers" and wonder if, indeed, a curse is borne by later generations. It was mans' greed that removed the last remnants of the Pre-Columbian Indi- ans from La Florida. Both European and Native American's lust for money and trade goods finished the extermination that European diseas- es failed to complete. It is time to take a "Walk in The Past" and read the final chapter on Florida's Pre-Colombian Indians. England and Spain were enemies in the "The War of Spanish Succession," which started in Europe in 1701. The war engulfed Europe and spread to the Americas, where it became known as "Queen Anne's War." However, an "undeclared war" was already being fought between England and Spain in La Florida. The English had started raiding Span- ish La Florida in 1680. The Spanish retaliated and took puni- tive action.

FAQ Sheet about the world's latest health threat Pat Dobbins, Administrator for the Hen- dry & Glades County Health Department stated this morning, "The Hendry & Glades County Health Departments are working dil- igently to monitor the reports of Swine Flu. To date, there are no reported cases in Florida, but we must take precautions if we encounter someone that is sick. Please, if you are sick, stay home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible to keep from spreading your illness to others. Call your healthcare provider if you have any questions." According to the Center for Disease Con- trol and Prevention (CDC) Human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in several states and in other countries. This is a novel influenza-A virus that has not been identified in people before, and human-to-human transmission of the virus appears to be ongoing. As of April 26, 2009, of the confirmed cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, only two confirmed case-patients were hospitalized and none have died in the United States. As public health officials in the United States learn more about this emerging virus, updated guidance will be issued in conjunc- tion.with our state, local, and tribal partners What is swine flu? Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respira- tory disease of pigs caused by type A-influ- enza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people. Are there human infections with swine flu in the U.S.? In late March and early April 2009, cases of human infection with swine influenza A (H1N1) viruses were first reported in South- ern California and near San Antonio, Texas. Other U.S. states have reported cases of swine flu infection in humans and cases have been reported internationally as well. CDC and local and state health agencies are working together to investigate this situ- ation. Is this swine flu virus contagious? CDC has determined that this swine in- fluenza A (HIN1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it not known how easily the virus spreads between people. What are the signs and symptoms of swine flu in people? The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions. How does swine flu spread? Spread of this swine influenza A (H1NI) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from per- son to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Are there medicines to treat swine flu? Yes. CDC recommends the use of osel- tamivir or zanamivir for the treatment and/ or prevention of infection with these swine influenza viruses. 'Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that fight against the flu by keeping flu viruses from reproduc- ing in your body. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu compli- cations. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms). How long can an infected person spread swine flu to others? People with swine influenza virus infec- tion should be considered potentially conta- gious as long as they are symptomatic and possible for up to 7 days following illness onset. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods. What surfaces are most likely to be sources of contamination? Germs can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. Droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air. Germs can be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk and then touches their own eyes, mouth or nose be- fore washing their hands. How long can viruses live outside the body? We know that some viruses and bacteria can live 2 hours or longer on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks. Frequent handwashing will help you re- duce the chance of getting contamination from these common surfaces. What can I do to protect myself from getting sick? There is no vaccine available right now to protect against swine flu. There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause re- spiratory illnesses like influenza. Take these everyday steps to protect your health: *Cover your nose and mouth with a tis- sue when you cough or sneeze. *Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. *Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners can also help. *Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. *Try to avoid close contact with sick people. *If you get sick with influenza, CDC rec- ommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. What is the best way to keep from spreading the virus through coughing or sneezing? If you are sick, limit your contact with other people as much as possible. Do not go to work or school if ill. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Cover your cough or sneeze with your sleeve if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.

Washing your hands often will help pro- tect you from germs. Wash with soap and water, or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner. We recommend that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizer may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands. What should I do if I get sick? If you live in areas where swine influenza cases have been identified and become ill with influenza-like symptoms, including fever, body aches, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting or diarrhea, you may want to contact their health care provider, particularly if you are worried about your symptoms. Your health care provider will determine whether influenza testing or treatment is needed. Can I get swine influenza from eat- ing or preparing pork? No. Swine influenza viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get swine influenza from eat- ing pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe If you have any questions, please contact your healthcare provider. Spbcc Un I SMA -st ~ e * 9 --- '' April 30, 2009 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Religion columns A letter to Donna By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church Cancer recently came into my family's life again. My cousin was diagnosed terminal. Part of my searching for answers included writing a letter - for her and for me. Dear Donna, you have been on my heart since I heard about your diagnosis. I can only imagine the myriad of emotions you must be feeling, and the fears you have for Michael and the kids. In the midst of all of this I want to share that I firmly believe that while cancer might invade the body, it does not have to invade the soul. Let me suggest that your greatest enemy is not the disease, but despair. I have found that mental attitude can make all the difference in the world in dealing with cancer. Someone once described cancer as a hideous monster seeking to rob us of what we love. There is truth in that, but cancer is not all powerful. There are things that can- cer cannot steal from us and things cancer cannot do. Cancer cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It can- not destroy peace. It cannot kill friendship. It cannot suppress memories. Cancer cannot silence courage. It cannot invade the soul. It cannot conquer the Spirit. It cannot steal eternal life. Cancer cannot lessen the power of the resurrection. Cancer can take away our earthly life, but it cannot steal eternal life from us. (Having said this, I'm keeping my focus on God and the hope He holds out to all of us. I'm still praying for a healing!) In the time ahead, you'll need every ounce of strength that you can muster to deal with what you are going to be going through. Don't think you have to go it alone. You will need encouragement. Family and friends are some of the tools God uses to ac- complish this. Don't feel you have to protect us. You bless us when you can share a tear or fear with us. Take each day one day at a time, some- times each hour an hour at a time. Live each one fully as if it is your last (good advice for all of us!) Know that God will walk through the day with you holding your hand, catching your tears and giving you comfort. Your body can be severely afflicted and you may have a great struggle, but if you trust in God's love, then your spirit will remain strong. One of Kathy's favorite "make it through" verses is, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With His help, dear one, we can make it through this. We must feed the lambs! By Jackie Miller, Evangelist First Christian Church It was evening on the beautiful shores of the Sea of Galilee. Among the shadows came Peter, that impetuous one; Thomas, the Doubter; the sons of Thunder, James & John; Nathanael and two other Disciples. All night the Disciples fished, but the net re- mained empty. As morning dawned, a voice came from the shore and said, "Have you caught any fish?" The Disciples answered, "No!" The Voice commanded, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find fish!" Over the right side of the boat went the net, and so.many fish filled it that the Disciples were not able to bring it into the boat. That Disciple whom Jesus loved, said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" (This was the third time Jesus had appeared to the Disciples af- ter being risen from the dead.) Then Peter put on his fisher's coat, (for he was stripped for fishing) and went into the Sea. The other Disciples came in the boat dragging the net with the fish. As they came to the shore, they saw a fire of coals cook- ing fish and bread. Peter drew the net in from the Sea and there were one hundred fifty three fishes in the net, and yet it was not broken. Jesus said, "Come and dine!" The Disci- ples ate the bread and fish. After breakfast Je- sus asked Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" He said, "Yes, Lord, you know I love thee." Jesus said, "FEED MY LAMBS!" Again the second time Jesus said, "Lovest thou me?" Peter said, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "FEED MY SHEEP." A third time Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me?" Peter said, "You know all things, you know that I love you." Jesus said unto him, "FEED MY SHEEP." What are you feeding the "Lambs?" Per- haps the food is spare or stale!

Children need to know that their parents and the church really care about their spiritual welfare. Feed those lambs, someday the will be the "Sheep of His pasture!" This is serious, because Christianity is only one generation away from extinction. It's the Economy... Or is it? By The Reverend Samuel S. Thomas, Ph. D.+ Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston We've seen predictions that the economy is recovering while others predict that our difficulties are going to continue for some time to come. The people that "paint with broad strokes" have something to say but what re- ally interests us is "What's happening to my neighbor?" or "What's happening to me?" I've just heard of a social worker who was laid off. I've known him and his family for some time. That's a real tragedy. It will mean dip- ping into funds that were being saved for the kid's education, it will mean possibly having to relocate if another job is offered; or learn- ing to do something else after years of work- ing and building a career. For him, the "economy" is an abstraction, as it is for us all. Things are good or bad indi- vidually, and, yes, we're affected by what is going on around us, but it's really something very individual that finally matters. One presenter at a conference I attended put it this way: "When a person dies, that's sad, when ten people die, that's a tragedy, when a hundred people die, that's a disas- ter, when a thousand people die, that's sta- tistics!" The gift of faith is that it is individual and not a numbers game. Faith is personal, not being caught up in a collectivity in the final meaning for us. Someone comes to my door and I listen to his plight. The answer isn't "It's the economy" or "Well, everybody's having problems!"; it's "How can I help?" Do I know where you might find work? or how can you find a way to get home? Do I know how to help you get what you seek? Jesus encountered people and healed them. He doesn't blame it on a bug that is going around or the lack of sanitary condi- tions in the neighborhood; He heals them as individuals. He feeds them, sometimes in great numbers, but ultimately as individuals in need. He preaches to great numbers but he also teaches one-on-one with equal importance. Individuals are the ones who hear Him and are changed by what He says. My feelings about evangelism is that it happens one person at a time. We have great preaching missions and make use of mass media tech- niques but when the day is over, it is each one of us as an individual that is reached - or not reached. I will try to do something for my friend as the opportunity arises. If I hear of a job in his field, I'll tell him. If I learn of an opening in something related to what he has done, I'll suggest it to him. If he needs food and I know about it, I'll try to provide it to tide him over. Why? Because that is the Biblical example of helping the "economy" that we follow. Our blessings and mandate comes from helping people as we meet them. I remind those who thank me that I am here because others have helped me - that's what it is all about. So, I'm glad to do it - in thanksgiving and in remembrance of the examples that the Lord has set before us; "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me (Matthew 25:40)" It's about helping, one by one, little by little, and each one doing his or her part - finally changing the "economy" and the world.

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee April 30, 2009 Jaelynn Jordan is the 2009 Harvest Queen By Naji Tobias The Sun BELLE GLADE - It's all about the confi- dence. For the 2009 Harvest Queen Winner, the application is certainly true. Jaelynn Jordan, who was crowned this past Friday night (April 17), came into the competition with the expectation that some- one else would win. After the interview, which likely was a deciding component that landed in her fa- vor, Jaelynn admitted that she was a tad bit nervous. The Glades Day School sophomore didn't know what to expect, but her future career plans certainly inspired the fully-packed au- dience at the Dolly Hand Center. "Why do you want to become a physical therapist," asked Steve Weeks, the pageant's master of ceremonies. "I got the opportunity to work at Dr. Yee's office in Royal Palm Beach (Bone and Joint Center) over the summer," Jaelynn said in response. "I saw patients come in with injuries to their arms and legs. "I saw the physical therapist work with them over a course of time. After treatment, they could go back to their normal lives," she continued. "Seeing all that inspired me to want to help people improve their lives when I get older." At 16 years old, it's understandable that Jaelynn doesn't know where exactly she wants to attend college at, yet. However, her knack for being a well- rounded individual says quite a bit in all that she likes to do. Not only is Jaelynn a Glades Day varsity cheerleader, she's a sentinel for Glades Day's Future Farmers of America program and has participated in this year's Broward Commu- nity College Relay For Life walk. The 2009 Harvest Queen is a member of the Christ Fellowship Church in Wellington, where she serves as a volunteer in the min- istry's youth center. "I feel like all this has made me stronger as a person," Jaelynn said. "If you believe in yourself, you can do anything." Shortly after the opening of the Black Gold Jubilee celebration April 18 at Torry Island, Jaelynn gave some words of advice to those who aspire to compete in future pageants. "I encourage a lot of you girls to compete in the Harvest Queen pageant," Jaelynn said. "You don't know how much confidence you'll get just by doing it." Jaelynn's parents, Jodilyn and Lewis, agree with the sentiment, adding that their daughter 'is a hardworking and independent young woman who is a blessing from God.' "Jaelynn is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside," Jodilyn said of her daughter. "She's definitely a great example for all girls to look up to." Notes: There were 12 girls in this year's pageant, with just four awards given out. Here are the award winners, besides the 2009 Harvest Queen: Ist runner-up - Ashley Lauria 2nd runner-up - Alana Byrd Miss Congeniality - Emily Pope The award count, according to pageant officials, was due to the decrease of entrants from 2008's Harvest Queen pageant, when 15 young women competed. The last two Harvest Queen winners were Kayla Collier (2007) and Aleigh Miller (2008). Staff Writer Naji Tobias can be reached at nto- blas@newszap.com. Photo courtesy of www.moyaphotos.com Jaelynn Jordan, the 2009 Harvest Queen winner, is flanked by the two most re- cent Jr. Harvest Queen winners, Laura Matos (2009) and Alicia Avila (2008), as well as last year's Harvest Queen, Aleigh Miller.

Hispanic Heritage Month Celebra- tion In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, Paho- kee Elementary School is sponsoring La Kermesse on Friday, May 8.

Boldin made a grand entrance in a helicop- ter, piloted by captain Dan Keegan , where he was greeted by his agent, Drew Rosen- haus and escorted to a custom golf cart, which was on loan from Keegan. Waiting for his arrival were fans from across the county, and the three-time Pro Bowl did not disappoint, signing autographs and posing for photos with fans young and old. "He's such a nice guy," said Scott Joyner, who brought his two young sons, Daniel Joyner and Kyle Miller, from Royal Palm Beach to meet the superstar. The young fans looked on as Boldin autographed a glove and football for them, then posed, albeit re- luctantly, for photos with Boldin. The tournament was part of the 5th An- nual Q-Fest, which also included a celebrity basketball game and "Fun day in the Park," where Boldin awarded scholarships to de- serving youth from in and around Belle Glade. The tournament raised funds to sup- port the efforts of the Anquan Boldin Foun- dation, whose mission is to improve the lives of Glades area youth.

Place April 30, 2009 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Citizen Continued From Page 1 "We don't know what we would do without her," She is so kind to all that she meets, she does not care who you are," Hale continued on behalf of the Pahokee community. "She [Strachan] is an amazing woman, we believe she was sent by God." The 70-year-old woman received a stand- ing ovation' from all of the estimated 100 people who attended this year's banquet, which was held on Friday, April 24 at the Lake Okeechobee Outpost. "The town is blessed to have her and she lives to help people," said Strachan's son, Reggie Gordon. Strachan may have won the biggest award, but NFL Pro Bowler and Pahokee na- tive Anquan Boldin received the most, with three total. Blaze Thompson, the Pahokee Blue Dev- ils head coach, noted how when Boldin played high school football years ago - he starred for Pahokee from 1994-1998 - 'he took the team by the horns.' As arguably one of Pahokee's best ever quarterback/athletes, Boldin, who graduat- ed from Pahokee High School in 1998, won the Mr. Florida Football award (best overall player in the state). Boldin, 28, moved on to Florida State Uni- versity, where he switched to wide receiver and established himself in becoming a bona fide player, which led him to the NFL. As a second-round pick for the Arizona Cardinals in 2003, Boldin set an NFL record with 217 receiving yards in his first-ever pro football game. He went on to win the NFLs 2003 Offen- sive Rookie of the Year, making it to the first of his three Pro Bowls. Known across the nation for his tough- ness and his character, Boldin has emerged as one of the NFLs best wide receivers, along with his teammate, Larry Fitzgerald. Both Boldin and Fitzgerald, who were at this year's fifth annual Q-Fest, are almost universally known as the NFL's best wide re- INI/Naji Tobias Brenda Banks, the mother of Anquan Boldin and Tammy Jackson, Boldin's aunt, accepted the NFL Pro Bowler's Key to the City and Distinguished Service awards in his absence. ~i~%~l~ ~ff~'IaeLsg~~a.L~'';:S' INI/Naji Toias Damon Weaver, with his mother, received the 2008 'You Made a Difference' award at the Pahokee Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet on Friday, Apr. 25. ceiver tandem. Boldin, who played admirably in this past February's Super Bowl, received the Key to the City, quite possibly for what he's given back to Pahokee since he became a pro. Boldin, who reportedly contributed to helping Pahokee obtain new football uni- forms and refurbished equipment last year, spent about $8,800 for the 2008 Pahokee Blue Devils football players to attend a vari- ety of summer camps. Boldin's Q-Fest celebration, one of the Glades area's most popular annual events, has attracted the likes of Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Devin Hester, Michael Irvin, Steve Smith and Edgerrin James, among many others. "It's the players that make the team and the town that makes the players," Thomp- son summed up about how Boldin symbol- izes this close-knit city. Boldin, who wasn't able to make the ban- quet, also received this year's Distinguished Service Award, as well as a proclamation honor from the City of Pahokee. "I'm just proud of Anquan and what he stands for," said Brenda Banks, Boldin's mother. "I hope everybody keeps him in their prayers." Damon Weaver, the 10-year-old kid sen- sation out of Canal Point Elementary School, received the banquet's first award as 2008's 'You Made a Difference' honoree. Gary Burroughs, a captain from the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, was presented with the Firefighter of the Year by Craig Pru- sansky, a fellow fire rescue captain. Thomas Padgett, a corporal with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO), was honored by Lieutenant Reinaldo Alonso as the PBSO District 12 Deputy of the Year. Naomi Polanca was selected as the City of Pahokee's Employee of the Year, courtesy of Pahokee Mayor Wayne Whitaker. Whitaker on Polanca's achievement: "She's the most dedicated employee that the city has," Whitaker said. "She's very good at what she does as a accountant and loves her job." Oasis Tree Farm received Business of the Year, while the Kennedy family won the Pio- neer Family Award. The dinner was primarily sponsored by the Pahokee Chamber of Commerce.

Goods Continued From Page 1 responsible for purchasing a wide array of counterfeit items found inside the depart- ment store, the statement said. Police reportedly learned that he some- times purchased merchandise from an unknown subject who drives a truck and makes deliveries to his business. It was revealed, according to the affidavit, that the defendant purchased the counter- feit merchandise from either a store or off a truck in Miami. The following items were recovered, ac- cording to the police report: 38 Ralph Lauren Polo Shirts 4 Ed Hardy Shirts 1 Fendi Purse 5 Louis Vuitton Purses 1 LaCoste Shirt 1 Air Jordan Belt Buckle 1 Stars and Stripes Belt Buckle 446 pairs of Nike Sneakers Note: The arrest report's claim of stolen Nikes came out to be 10 1/2 more pairs than what Barbera revealed, which reportedly amounted to 436 pairs of Nikes seized by detectives. Representatives from Nike and Ralph Lauren Polo later confirmed the counterfeit claims made by the PBSO detectives. The total amount of counterfeit merchan- dise reportedly came to $51,707, according to details from the investigation. The defendant was booked on charges of forging and counterfeiting private labels over $20,000. He was reportedly released from jail the same day on a bail amount of $5,000. If convicted of the above charges - a third- degree felony - the defendant could face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, ac- cording to the Fla. State Statutes.
