Jesus is the Reason for the Season‏

As Advent begins, REMEMBER: Jesus is Better than Santa Santa lives at the North Pole. JESUS is everywhere. Santa rides in a sleigh JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. Santa comes but once a year JESUS is an ever present help. Santa fills your stockings with goodies JESUS supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart. You have to stand in line to see Santa JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. Santa lets you sit on his lap JESUS lets you rest in His arms. Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?" JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly JESUS has a heart full of love. All Santa can offer is HO HO HO JESUS offers health, help and hope. Santa says "You better not cry" JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you. Santa's little helpers make toys JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. Santa may make you chuckle but JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. While Santa puts gifts under your tree JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put Christ back in Christmas. Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and

your loved ones this Christmas 2008

And may He prosper and bless the work of

your hands in the New Year.

Blessed Christmas!

最近不要吃桔子了啊！

今年四川的桔子遭受了一种寄生虫的灾害，叫柑蛆而且是肉眼能够看得见的寄生虫。光拨开橘子皮还不能看见，要把每个桔子外边的那层皮也拨掉才能看见！
据说政府以每斤几毛钱的价格收购果农手里染病的桔子然后深埋，但还是有财迷心窍的果农偷偷把染病的桔子批发出去了！
所以说现在市场上的川桔要小心！据说华西都市报写了这件事，虽不知道真假，但大家还是注意一下吧

"我长这么大，还没有见过在橘子瓣的肉里隐藏那么多的蛆伢子，真是稀奇……"3日下午，在广元旺苍县嘉川镇鸡鸣山上的果园里，石桥村六组67岁的陈显阳老人对自
己脚下正在作深埋处理的5000多公斤柑橘很是感慨。在老人身后的山坡上，200
多壮劳力和他一样，正在橘园里采摘最后的果实，然后集中堆放，挖坑消毒深埋这些大多
数还泛着青光的果实。

¦撕开橘肉两条蛆虫冒出来

鸡鸣山果园是广元市有名的柑橘园。陈显阳老人把记者带到了一个刚刚采摘完果实的橘园，树上已空空荡荡，不留一枚果实。在一块? 喽云教沟牡胤剑??幻咨睢⑷???/SPAN>
宽、五米长的"葬橘"坑已经挖好，坑的外沿密密麻麻堆放着几千公斤橘子，正在等待运送来消毒的石灰就可以开始处理。在一半青一半黄的橘子堆上，陈显阳随手捡起三
只橘子，外表好好的，没有裂口也没有孔眼，一个一个分开外壳后，粗略一看，也没有什么异样，但当他选择一瓣橘子撕开绯红的橘肉，记者立即看到两条比米粒长的白
白的蛆虫爬了出来……

陈显阳说，自己和村里人是9月27日被通知上山采摘柑橘果实的，"树上一个不留，统统由政府收购。摘光、埋光、杀光。"

¦最多一户"埋掉"32万元

"白白的蛆虫学名叫大实蝇，俗称柑蛆。"负责处理病虫害果实的嘉川镇农业服务站站长高鸣胜解 答了记者的疑惑。

高鸣胜说："柑蛆作为一种寄生虫在果园生存并不奇怪，但像今年这样大面积暴发，产生灾难性的后果实属罕见。"据高鸣胜讲，最先发现柑蛆的是相邻的尚武镇。随
后县政府立即组织有关专家到相邻乡镇展开排查，很快，毗邻尚武镇的4个乡镇发现了较大面积的柑蛆。9月27日，县政府的柑橘大实蝇疫情防控通告发布，根据处置办
法，先要将树上成熟、未成熟的果实全部采摘下来，按照每公斤0.30元的标准由政府统一收购，然后深埋、消毒作无公害化处理。

鸡鸣山是嘉川镇上最大的连片果园，经过200多人7天的辛劳，截至3日下午，已经采摘处理了25万公斤。

¦果农将长虫的柑橘深埋

预计还有近3万公斤的果实需要采摘处理。"我们镇上处理果品最多的一户需要埋掉10万公斤柑橘果实，根据去年最低的市价估算，损失将在32 万元以上，目前还在做
工作。"

¦1000万公斤柑橘被深埋

旺苍县分管农业的副县长殷扶炯告诉记者，目前全县需要处理的柑橘类果品超过1000 万公斤，政府将拿出300万元资金进行统一收购作无公害化处理。

殷扶炯说，为了防治疫情，杜绝蔓延，旺苍县指派工商、药监、农业、林业等部门派出专门的人员对全县所有的农贸市场、个体摊点销售的柑橘类果品实行严格监测
和检疫，严禁蛆柑上市交易，并严肃查处销售蛆柑的行为。

旺苍柑橘园为什么会大面积暴发大实蝇病虫害？误食了"柑蛆"会不会危害身体？昨日，针对读者关心的问题，记者采访了有关专门机构工作人员。

暴发病虫害管理马虎是重要原因

旺苍县农业局植保植检站站长夏均明说，根据记载，上世纪九十年代中期旺苍曾有三个乡镇出现过病虫害，由于省市组织的专家组采取了严密的防控措施，砍掉发现病虫
害的乡镇所有柑橘树，此后相当长一段时间橘园非常"清净"。

据夏均明分析，这次大面积暴发"大实蝇病虫害"与近年来业主和承包人放松对果园管理有关，不少地方不搞翻土、修枝等冬季清园了，农药喷洒也不到位等是导致病虫害
暴发的重要原因。


为了防止病虫害蔓? 樱?旺?韵亟??爻撬??诘亩??诱蜓厥〉?/SPAN>202线到白水镇一线划为疫区，严禁该区域柑橘类果实和苗木上市销售、向外调运；特别在东、西两端与其他县
区交界的白水、竟成两个木材检查站设立"哨卡"，由农业、林业、公安等部门派专人检查；指派工商、药监、农业、林业等部门派出专人对全县所有农贸市场、个体摊点
销售的柑橘类果品实行严格监测和检疫。

今年管住了，明后年怎么办，如何做到"长治久安"？据夏均明说，根据已有经验和省市植保专家的会商结论，最好的办法是砍树，砍树后要进行低位嫁接，另外就是改栽
其他经济林木。如果选择低位 嫁接，必须一年四季加强管理，根据不同季节翻土、修枝、施肥、撒药，连续3到5年，才能基本保证大实蝇"销声匿迹"。

误食"柑蛆"人体不会有大碍

据广元市农业局植保植检站有关工作人员介绍，大实蝇属柑橘果品寄生虫，具有很强隐蔽性。只有一瓣瓣撕开橘肉，才能发现米粒长短的白色蛆虫，因此，橘柑很容易被
误食。

误食了"柑蛆"会不会对人体造成危害？广元市疾控中心副主任医师孙文明表示，少量误食柑蛆不会产生什么问题，目前也没有导致疾病的医学报告。消费者在选购柑橘类
果品时，要多加小心，尽量不要食用"蛆柑"，如有身体不适，应立即就医。

Gift for Mama story

Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.

The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."

The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theatre built in the house."

The third said "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."

The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."

The other brothers were impressed. After the holidays Mom sent out her thank you notes. "She wrote: " Milton , the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."

"Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."

"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."

"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you."
