Although wes h o u l dremember the

significance of all ourholidays, I believethat Thanksgiving isthe holiday which

should be used for a time of quietreflection. Let us take a moment duringthis Thanksgiving holiday season toreflect on our lives and on our bless-ings. We have endured through somedifficult times as a city. Our economyhas been relatively stable in the years ofrecession. Many have family memberswho are serving our country in foreignlands. Many of us have lost loved ones,or have faced other personal crises. Andyet, we are blessed to live in a countrywhere we can learn from, and appreci-ate, the differences which make usunique. We are free to vote or not vote.We have the choice of education for ourchildren. We have some of the finestmedical technology in the world avail-able to us. In America, we have thefreedom to travel as we wish, and wehave the freedom to worship as we seefit. Additionally, we are privileged tolive in West Park, Florida. We are for-tunate to have City employees who arecommitted to providing the best servicepossible to our citizens. We have excel-lent schools and teachers who are dedi-cated to the education of their students.We have a community that is filled withcaring individuals and groups, such asour Senior Citizens Care Center, theMary Kendrick’s Thanksgiving Feast,the City’s Christmas Toy Giveaway,our Back to School Giveaway, ourAfter-School and Summer Programs,our Scholarship Program, etc. Peopleof all races, ages and socio-economiclevels come together as we work to

make West Park a nurturing and caringcommunity. In a sense, gratitude is anexpression of modesty. In Hebrew, theword for gratitude - hoda’ah - is thesame as the word for confession. Tooffer thanks is to confess dependence,to acknowledge that others have thepower to benefit you, to admit that yourlife is better because of their efforts.That frame of mind is indispensable tocivilized society. As you sit down toyour Thanksgiving dinner, if you hadbeen a Pilgrim, would you have giventhanks? Consider what they had beenthrough, the men and women whobroke bread together on that firstThanksgiving in 1621. They haduprooted themselves and sailed forAmerica, an endeavor so hazardous that

published guides advised travelers tothe New World, "First, make thy will."The crossing was very rough and theMayflower was blown off course.Instead of reaching Virginia, whereEnglishmen had settled 13 years earlier,the Pilgrims ended up in the wilds ofMassachusetts. By the time they founda place to make their new home -Plymouth, they called it - winter had setin. The storms were frightful. Shelterwas rudimentary. There was little food.Within weeks, nearly all the settlerswere sick. "That which was most sadand lamentable," Governor William

Bradford later recalled, "was that in twoor three months’ time, half of theircompany died, especially in Januaryand February, being the depth of win-ter, and wanting houses and other com-forts; being infected with the scurvyand other diseases. There died some-times two or three a day." When springcame, Indians showed them how toplant corn, but their first crops were dis-mal. Supplies ran out, but their spon-sors in London refused to send more.The first time the Pilgrims sent a ship-ment of goods to England, it was stolenby pirates. If you had been there in1621 - if you had seen half your friendsdie, if you had suffered through famine,malnutrition, and sickness, if you hadendured a year of heartbreak andtragedy - would you have felt grateful?In regions of Mexico hot springs andcold springs are found side by side, andbecause of the convenience of this nat-ural phenomenon the women oftenbring their laundry, boil their clothes inthe hot springs, and then rinse them inthe cold springs. A tourist watching thisprocedure commented to his Mexicanguide: "They must think Mother Nature

is generous to freely supply such ample,clean hot and cold water.” The guidereplied, "No senor, there is much grum-bling because she supplies no soap."People who are truly thankful don’tcomplain, they find a reason to begrateful. Let’s not wait to be thankful.Often we are not thankful until aftersomething we need is loss and regained.Our power is shut off, and suddenly webecome thankful for electricity. Ourgarbage is not picked up, and suddenlywe become thankful for the garbagecollector’s weekly stop. A good frienddies, and suddenly we discover howmuch he or she meant to us. Our waterbecomes too polluted to drink and sud-denly we appreciate having good water.Why is it that, we take for granted theuncounted blessings of life until theyare removed from us?

Some things I am Thankful for.......

....The taxes that I pay

....because it means I’m employed.

....The clothes that fit a little too snug

....because it means I have enough toeat. ....My shadow who watches me work ....because it means I am out in the sun-shine.

....A lawn that needs mowing, windowsthat need cleaning and gutters that needfixing ....because it means I have a home. ....The spot I find at the far end of theparking lot ....because it means I am capable ofwalking. ....My huge heating bill ....because it means I am warm. ....All the complaining I hear about ourgovernment ....because it means we have freedom ofspeech. ....The lady behind me in church whosings off key ….because it means that I can hear. ....The piles of laundry and ironing ....because it means my loved ones arenearby. ....The alarm that goes off in the earlymorning hours ....because it means that I am alive!....Weariness and aching muscles at theend of the day ....because it means I have been produc-tive.The art of thanks-living is gratitude in

action.It is thanking God for the gift of life

by living it triumphantly.It is thanking God for your talents and

abilities by accepting them as obliga-tions to be invested for the commongood.It is thanking God for all that men and

women have done for you by doingthings for others.It is thanking God for happiness by

striving to make others happy.It is thanking God for beauty by help-

ing to make the world more beautiful.It is thanking God for inspiration by

trying to be an inspiration to others.Alex Haley, the author of "Roots," hadan unusual picture hanging on his officewall. It was a picture of a turtle on topof a fence post. When asked, "Why isthat there?" Alex Haley answered,"Every time I write something signifi-cant, every time I read my words andthink that they are wonderful, and beginto feel proud of myself, I look at the tur-tle on top of the fence post and remem-ber that he didn’t get there on his own.He had help." That is the basis of thank-fulness - to remember that we got herewith the help of God, and that He is theprovider of every blessing we have.

HAVE A THANKFUL THANKS-GIVING. GOD BLESS YOU ANDYOUR FAMILY, GOD BLESS THECITY OF WEST PARK AND GODBLESS AMERICA…

the Carver Ranches Boys & Girls Club, led by ClubDirector Brenda Fulmore, strives to be a true change-agent in the lives of its members. “We want all mem-bers to graduate from high school with a plan for thefuture; demonstrate good character and citizenship byparticipating in leadership training and communityservice projects; and engage in sports and other activ-ities that promote living a healthy lifestyle,” saidFulmore. “Opening on Saturdays gives us one moreday to assist families in making sure that this hap-pens.” For more information about the Carver Ranches

Storm Drains HelpPrevent Flooding

What is NPDES?The National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System (NPDES) - CleanWater Act Section 402

The National Pollutant DischargeElimination System (NPDES) is a federalprogram that regulates stormwater dis-charges to the receiving waters of theUnited States. This program is mandatedin the federal Clean Water Act and is del-egated to the Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection (DEP), andlocal governments (Counties & Cities).An NPDES permit may also include dis-charge limits based on federal or statewater quality standards that were designedto protect designated uses of surfacewaters, such as supporting aquatic life orrecreation. Water quality criteria and stan-dards vary from state to state and site tosite, depending on the use classification ofthe receiving body of water. Most statesfollow EPA guidelines that propose aquat-ic life and human health criteria for manyof the priority pollutants. The goal is to prevent STORMWATER POLLUTION.

WHAT IS STORMWATER POLLUTION? Stormwater pollution is urban runoff

water that has picked up pollutants as itflows through the storm drain system- anetwork of channels, gutters and pipesthat collect runoff from city streets, neigh-borhoods, farms, construction sites andparking lots-and empties directly intolocal waterways. Unlike sewage, whichgoes to treatment plants, urban runoffflows untreated through the storm drainsystem. Anything thrown, swept or pouredinto the street, gutter or a catch basin (thecurbside openings that lead into the stormdrain system) can flow directly into ourchannels, creeks, bays and ocean. Thisincludes pollutants like trash, pet waste,cigarette butts, motor oil, anti-freeze,runoff from pesticides and fertilizers, con-struction debris, paint from brushes andcontainers rinsed in the gutter and toxichousehold chemicals.

HOW DOES STORMWATER POL-LUTION AFFECT OUR RESIDENTS& BUSINESSES?Contaminated urban runoff is a source

of pollution into local waters, and maycontribute to beach closures. Litter, leavesand other debris clog catch basins, whichcause flooding when it rains. Flooding candamage property (cars, buildings andequipment), create health hazards (fleas,mosquitoes and bacteria) and hurt theCity’s image as a desirable place to liveand work. It is illegal for businesses with-out a permit to discharge wastewater orother materials into the storm drain sys-tem.

You can report illegal storm draindischarge by calling 954-519-1499.

During a rainfall, water runs across rooftops, down streets and across parkinglots and yards, picking up substances along the way. This stormwater“runoff” washes down storm drains, eventually reaching local rivers and

streams. Storm drains are the metal grates found on urban and suburban streets, oftenat corners and on the sides of curbs and gutters.


THANKFUL!By Vice Mayor Felicia M. Brunson

Although we should remember thesignificance of all our holidays, Ibelieve that Thanksgiving is the

holiday which should be used for a timeof quiet reflection. We would all do wellto pause and remember those brave soulswho risked their lives to travel to a newand uncharted land in search of freedom.A freedom which oftentimes we now all

take for granted. I hope that you will gath-er with your family and friends and take amoment to reflect, remember, and givethanks.Thanksgiving is a time for families and

friends to gather together and expressgratitude for all that we have been given,the freedoms we enjoy, and the lovedones who enrich our lives. We recognizethat all of these blessings, and life itself,come not from the hand of man but fromAlmighty God.Every year around Thanksgiving, we

are reminded about the things for whichwe are thankful. As every year, I amthankful for my family, health, friends oldand new. I’m thankful for life itself, andeverything that we are able to do andaccomplish.This is also a time to think about those

less fortunate than ourselves. This is thetime to consider offering our time to vol-unteer in our community or making adonation to our favorite charity. There aremany volunteering opportunities righthere in our city.Let us take a moment during this

Thanksgiving holiday season to reflect onour lives and on our blessings. We haveendured hardships this past year. Oureconomy has not been as vibrant as inyears past. Property values are low andmany are unemployed. Many of us havelost loved ones, or have faced other per-sonal crises. We grieve with our friends

and neighbors over their losses and prob-lems, but we rejoice with them in theirgood times. And yet, we are blessed tolive in a city where we can learn from, andappreciate, the differences which make usunique. Take the time to thank God for all of the

blessings in your life. For some, the bless-ings may seem sparse this year, but thatjust means that we need to reflect deeperto find the good in our lives. Everyone hassomething to be thankful for: Our free-

dom as Americans, the love of family andfriends. Be thankful for the things in yourlife that you wouldn't want to live with-out. It is easier at this time of year. But letThanksgiving be the start of a new out-look - a reconfigured attitude toward theevents in the past and what the futureholds.Additionally, we are privileged to live in

the City of West Park. We are fortunate tohave a Commission and Staff who arecommitted to providing the best servicepossible to our citizens. People of allraces, ages and socio-economic levelscome together annually at the MaryKendrick’s “Feed the Needy Feast” wherethey give love offerings to help the seniorsin our community. We live in a communi-ty that finds time to laugh and enjoy life.We have many blessings, large and small.The list is endless. Only when we begin totake stock, do we realize just how blessedwe truly are. I encourage you to also thinkabout our community's needs and find thetime, or the money, to give back.I wish you all a very happy

Thanksgiving, and wish you and yourfamilies all the best during this holidayseason!Remember to contact me at City Hall with

your ideas, suggestions or concerns. I rep-resent you and appreciate your input into thecontinued success of our beloved city. I can be reached at (954) 889-4164 or
