Residents voice
concerns on
national debate

By Patty Brant
Many young residents of
LaBelle have taken the cause of
immigrants' rights as their own. In
fact, as immigrants or members of
immigrant families, it is their own.
The national debate over how
America should handle undocu-


mented work-
ers has spilled
over into local
hearts and
inspired young
Felipe Delgado
to organize a
march of his
peers in
LaBelle. HR
4437, the Felipe
House bill that Delgado
would crimi-
nalize undocumented workers, is


at the center of the nationwide
debate.
Students were out before day-
light, straggling to the staging area
with homemade signs with mes-
sages like "We are not criminals"
and "Immigrants need America,
America needs Immigrants."
The enthusiastic group made
up mostly of students trekked the
three or so miles from the Winn-
Dixie down Cowboy Way to
LaBelle High School early Tuesday
morning. They were walking and


Peaceful demonstration: The American Way

Marchers display the American flag as they protest HR4437, the House bill that would
criminalize undocumented workers. Students staged the peaceful demonstration before
school Tuesday, April 11.


Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant
Marchers shook hands with LHS administrators and others as they poured onto campus
at the end of their trek from Winn-Dixie. LHS Administrative Assistant Ken Pickles is pic-
tured at right, with SRO Ty Marshall and Principal Paul Puletti.

chanting behind a Hendry County
patrol car driven by one of their
own Deputy Fernando Herrera.
Sheriff Ronnie Lee walked with
the marchers as well.
Felipe Delgado, the young
organizer of the LaBelle march,
was inspired when he attended
the 75,000-strong Fort Myers
march on Monday. "It was so
wonderful," he said, "the atmos-
phere was so united." An 18-year-
old LHS senior, Felipe said "we are
all one community... It's impor-


tant to me to speak for those who
can't."
Seventeen-year-old Cindy
Munoz, also a senior at LHS, was
born and raised here. She comes
from a family if immigrants and
believes in immigrants' rights to
stay and work here. Cindy also
took part in the big Fort Myers
march. "It was nice," she said, "it
supported the Mexicans." Both
her parents are from Mexico and

Golf carts are


still no

By Patty Brant
You may have seen a few
golf carts on LaBelle's roads
lately. In fact, the Caloosa Belle
ran a story several weeks ago
stating that these vehicles are
not legal to be driven on public
roads. True. Lt. Rick Waldron of
the Hendry County Sheriff's
Office substantiates that. These
vehicles are, as a rule, not
"street legal" and operators can
be given a ticket, he said,
although most likely his officers
would first simply give violators
a warning.
However, these "low speed
vehicles" can become street
legal under some very specific
restrictions, according to FS
316.212 of the Florida State Uni-
form Traffic Control code.
Before they can be considered
legal even with the specified
modifications, the city or coun-
ty government must pass an


t legal

ordinance allowing it. The
Department of Transportation
also has the right to prohibit
them on any road under its
jurisdiction.
In order to become legal,
the vehicle must be equipped
with headlamps, stop lamps,
turn signal lamps, tail lamps,
reflex reflectors, parking
brakes, rearview mirrors, wind-
shields, seatbelts, vehicle iden-
tification numbers (VINs) and
they must be registered and
insured.
There are other restrictions,
aswell.
The statute states that on
streets with a posted speed
limit of 35 m.p.h. or less, these
vehicles may cross a road or
street at an intersection with a
posted speed limit of more
than 35 tn.p.h. In order for a

Kiwanis working with Legion


-- Nikki Yeager and Millard
Vagnon of Kiwanis presented
Dennis Boland of the American
Legion Post 130 and Pudge
Lehman of the Auxiliary Unit
130 with checks to send an
additional high school junior
girl and boy to Girl's State and
Boy's State. The American
Legion and the Auxiliary spon-
sor young men and women
every summer to participate in
government with hands-on
experiences. High school jun-
iors from all over the state of
Florida converge on Tallahas-
see for an intense week of gov-
ernment training. They not
only observe government in
action, they actually form a


city, elect their mayor and
councilmen, campaign
and produce bills. Legislation
that they pass is looked over by
the lawmakers for bills that
may in turn be presented to the
Senate.
In past years, Girl's State
produced a bill to have the
white line painted on the edge
of all state roads so that
motorists could tell where the
road ended, especially at night.
One of the Girl's Staters'
friends was killed while walk-
ing on the side of the road and
this prompted her to propose
the bill. The lawmakers picked
up the bill and passed it
through the governmental


process to make it a law.
The orientation for the girls
from Hendry, Lee and Char-
lotte counties will be in Ft.
Myers, May 13. Girl's State is the
week of June 8-16. The boys
orientation is also in Ft. Myers
and their week in Tallahassee
follows Girl's State. This is an
opportunity of a lifetime to
learn about government and it
often changes these young
adult's lives and goals.
To all students who will be
entering their junior year in the
fall and have an interest in the
governmental process, please
be aware of this opportunity.

SCindy wants to go to Edison Col-
lege after she graduates to study
nursing. Another marcher, a 15-
year-old ninth grader born and
raised in LaBelle, said it's wrong to
see undocumented workers as
criminals because these people are
here to work.
"1vo otheryoung ladies, aged 15
and 16, taking part in the march
admitted they are undocumented.
They have been here for ten
months. Both said they feel "dis-
criminated against" at school
because of the way some of the
other kids look at them. They also
say they are often accused of steal-
ing and that sometimes walking to
class they "feel strange." One of the
girls said her mother works in the
fields and her father is in Mexico.
The other said her father works as
a mechanic's helper. Both of the
girls said their parents want them

He is a devoted Christian and
family man. Before accepting the
county position he prayed about
the opportunity. Feeling that God
has led him to Hendry County, he
is humble and happy to bring his
knowledge of land development
to this area. He is a detail man
with integrity, taking pride in his
work. Shane is no halfwayy man"
and likes to take the time to


to get a good education. One
hopes to become a gynecologist
some day. With Cindy translating
for them, they say they understand
that learning English is very impor-
tant to them.
At the school, other students
took little notice of the march.
Blake Basquin said he understood
what his classmates were doing,
that they were driven to do it. He
does not agree that people should
be allowed to stay in this country
illegally they should become citi-
zens. Others agreed, but said the
marchers should "do what they
had to do."
Principal Paul Puletti said he
appreciated the effort organizers
took by working with him in plan-
ning the march after all it was still
a school day. A short rally before
the students went to class, began
with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mr. Puletti told them that, as
"emerging adults" they should use
this as a learning experience and
continue it by making their voices
heard the American way contact-


between sunrise and sunset
unless the local government
decides otherwise and it has
appropriate equipment. They
may not be operated on any pub-
lic roads by anyone under the age
of 14.
Lt. Waldron cautions that oper-
ating these vehicles on the roads
is dangerous and that they are
not legal even if fitted with appro-
priate equipment because neither
the city nor the county have desig-
nated roads for them.
Mayor Randy Bengston said he
understands the reasons why
some residents may want to drive
their golf carts on the streets but
can foresee safety issues if the city
were to allow it. Such an action
would have to be considered by
the entire board of city commis-
sioners, he added.

worked well with Collier County
officials and has a good working
relationship and reputation with
them. He plans on the same in
this county.
Some of his current Hendry
County projects are Port LaBelle
Utility issues, revising some of
Hendry County's codes and
bringing them more up to date,
the proposed relocation of new
government offices and the
paving of Wheeler Road.

ultimate goal is ito grow with

tives with their concerns.
Raymond Marroquin, TIP direc-
tor and longtime LHS coach, wait-
ed for the'marchers to reach the
school. He explained that the stu-
dents were marching for their her-
itage and that they just want to suc-
ceed in attaining a better life. They
also need to support this country,
he said. "Illegal is illegal," he said,
but added that it's hard to become
a citizen. "The law needs to be cri-
tiqued," he said these people just
want a chance to work and make a
better life.
"The people making the laws
need to actually get into the real
world ... they'd make better deci-
sions," he mused. Of Mexican
decent, Mr. Marroquin under-
stands what these students and
their families are facing. He said
when he grew up in this area "we
were really a minority then" and
added "You can't let other people
get to you. Don't let them stop you
from getting what you want."

Protect assets and


wealth legally


What is Asset Protection?
What is Wealth Preservation?
These are really popular buzz-
words now in our society. Every
week in the big city newspapers,
we read of seminars being put
on by professionals and being
conducted at large hotels. They
even throw in a free breakfast or
lunch. Often, a reservation is
required. Otherwise, there is a
sign-in sheet so they get your
name. These are sales seminars.
They are costly to the presenters,
so you know they are selling
something to be compensated.
The seminars are usually
advertised as Asset Protection
seminars. Insurance agents sell-
ing life insurance and annuity
policies do these seminars.
Lawyers who write wills and
trusts do them. CPA's who sell
insurance and financial planning
services do them. Registered
Representatives who sell insur-
ance, annuities and investments
also do them. Often, there will
be a combination of these pro-
fessionals working together in
putting on the seminar.
So what is the answer to the
question: What is Asset Protec-
lion? It is any legal mechanism
by which your assets are protect-
ed from the claims of creditors
and they should be positioned so
they are outside the attachment
of a Bankruptcy Court. Although
by broad definition, bankruptcy
itself is a form of asset protec-
tion, since it protects some mini-
mum amount of your assets
from being taken.
Wills devise means by which
you can take advantage of State
and Federal laws. Trusts do all
kinds of things including avoid-
ing probate and holding proper-
ty so it is hard for a claimant to
get to it. Examples are: placing a
building in a wife's trust, using a
generation skipping transfer
trust or even an offshore trust.


Financial
Tips


byWayneC.Switzer

Life insurance and annuity
policies have a clause that says
something like this "subject to
the terms and conditions of this
policy, all monies and benefits
payable to any person, and relat-
ing in any manner to this con-
tract, shall be free from such per-
sons debts, engagements, and
judicial process to levy upon and
attach the same." The concept
behind allowing such a clause is
that the benefit is normally for a
beneficiary, who is an innocent
party under the contract, not the
insured. If you do receive pro-
ceeds as a beneficiary from one
of these policies, it is advisable
to keep the money segregated
from other assets and proceeds.
Would you like another form
of asset protection? It is liability
insurance, like you have with a
car, a boat or a homeowner's
policy, and more specifically an
umbrella policy.
Limited Liability Corporations
provide asset protection. Limited
Partnerships provide a means of
asset protection. This list gets
very long. So, the next time you
see someone advertising asset
protection, you might just ask,
"what are you selling?" Howev-
er, don't be insulting because
they may have something very
good for you.
And, what is Wealth Preserva-
tion? It is having enough assets
that you need to work on Asset
Protection! Wayne C. Switzer,

Guest Commentary


Bridge problem: What's 'up' in Hendry?


At first glance this might seem
like a silly question. Silly, that is,
unless you happened to be stuck in
the massive, what seemed like
endless traffic jam in LaBelle,
March 28.
For those going about their daily
tasks, trying to go across the SR 29
bridge, north or south, in the mid-
dle of a beautiful sunny, Chamber
of Commerce, Tourist Board after-
noon, all hell broke loose when the
SR 29 bridge malfunctioned.
Traffic backed up as far as the
eye could see, north and south.
Blocking east and westbound
SR 80 as HCSO and FDOT went
into emergency mode operation to
establish alternate detours direct-
ing those not already ensnarled,
into westbound CR 78, SR 80 and
Ft. Denaud Road alternatives.
As we approach hurricane sea-
son, with all its opportunities for
normal traffic interruptions, we
can only hope the plans can
accommodate many thousands
more than were tremendously
frustrated and inconvenienced on
that day. Officially designated evac-
uation routes lake west or east
coast evacuees right through
LaBelle.
Acts ofGod such as hurricanes
and tornadoes, hopefully will be
few and far between, but the blood
of the overwhelming traffic accom-
panying the known deluge of
developments and associated pop-


It's your worit
Get Involved
ulation explosion will make the
traffic "bridgelock" pale by com-
parison to the upcoming traffic
"gridlock," resulting from "devel-
opmentitis."
To add substance to my specu-
lations you have only to read in the
April 2, 2006, edition of the News
Press, Hendry County's Director of
the Economic Development Coun-
cil Janice Groves' statement, "We
have projected over 3,500 residen-
tial homes in 11 different subdivi-
sions in west Hendry County, and
all these are to be built by 2011,
and those numbers are very con-
servative."
She also commented on the
planned movement into the area of
industry, educational, service
industries, office and major retail-
ers in the same time frames.
I don't know what your reaction
is to these forward-looking state-
ments from our very dedicated
director, Janice Groves, but mine
was, if the national household
occupancy average of 2.5 persons
per residence is true, and.they have
1 to 2 vehicles per home, you've
got another 7,000 vehicles coming
onto our already overburdened,
inadequate highway system. This
does not factor in what other com-


mercial, service and employee
vehicles will be drawn into the
area. If you haven't noticed all the
dump trucks already clogging the
area, wait until the real building
boom goes off in your rear view
mirror.
If this isn't frightening enough,
all you need to do is factor in at
least another 5,000 in the near
future, pouring out of Glades
County.
And that's just from the known
developments such as the Lykes
Bros.
planned developments. All of
which will be, due to no alternates,
looking to feed south on SR 29, to
little two-lane CR 78 \vest or into
LaBelle across the bridge to access
SR 80.
The first knee jerk reaction is,
"build more roads," but is that real-
ly the answer?
For anyone who has ever driven
the freeways in California, you can
understand that the end result is,
instead of 2-or-4 lanes of gridlock,
you have 8-or-12 lanes of gridlock,
and this is without the bridge.
What has to be done, and must
be built into the permit planning
process is the village concept
where, subject to the allowable
density, the residents can walk or
bicycle to their jobs, schools, shop-
ping and other routine service
needs.
Of course, this requires that
generations of people will need to


break ingrained habits and the
politicians will have the political
will to provide the leadership best
suited to the need, rather than the
desire.
Yes, I understand, by this time
you've either agreed or disagreed
with the needs I've sited, and either
way, resolved or resigned yourself'
to change or keeping the status
quo.
I think it was Johnny Carson
who said, "If you buy the premise,
you'll buy the bit."
,So, if you buy the premise that
things have to change, that's one
avenue available, but if you don't,
there is this option. Don't allow any
more development, not already
permitted, until the infrastructure
to support that development is in
place. How many developers do
you think will still be there on grad-
uation day?
For the record, I'm not trying to
sell anybody, anything. I don't have
a crystal ball, but as my Dad used
to tell me, "Bill, always be
impressed with the obvious, and
plan your actions accordingly."
It's your life and lifestyle on the
line, and nobody is better qualified
to govern your options than you.
Whatever your decision, make
your feelings known, and "bridge"
that gap to satisfy you and your
family's needs.
Respectfully,
T.W.BillNeville(Hendry
CountyCitizen and Taxpayer)


Hospice: There is hope for all seasons


By Samira K. Beckwith
President and CEO
Hope of Southwest Florida
Springtime and the Easter sea-
son are known to many people in
the world as a time of hope and
renewal. However, holidays and
special occasions are also a time
when people may remember the
loss of a loved one. At Hope of
Southwest Florida, we are repre-
sented by the butterfly, also a sym-
bol of hope and renewal. As we
serve the community through
Hope Hospice and our Pathways of
Hope bereavement counseling
programs, we are often asked,
how can "hope" and "loss" fit
together? The two terms may at
first seem incompatible.
The mission of Hope is to pro-
vide exceptional care and support


to all people who are touched by
end-of-life issues. The people we
serve, whether as a patient, family
member, or anyone else who is
experiencing grief, find that
through this special kind of care
and support, "hope" can take on
new dimensions.
Holidays may come with
reminders of a recent loss in our
lives, or they may even bring feel-
ings of grief from years past. Fortu-
nately, thoughtful preparation can
help to alleviate the grief and stress.
The Pathways of Hope Counseling
Center, part of Hope of Southwest
Florida, helps families who have
experienced loss throughout the
year. The professional counselors
at Pathways offer suggestions for
holidays.
Those who have recently lost a
loved one should not try.to ignore


the loss and pretend that nothing
has changed. Recognize that holi-
days won't be the same. Expecting
everything to be the same might
lead to disappointment. Keep in
mind that few things in life are
either all good or all bad.
During holidays allow yourself,
or your grieving friend, permission
to do what feels right. At a time of
year when many people feel com-
pelled to follow holiday traditions,
doing something different, such as
going out of town for a visit, can be
helpful.
Don't isolate yourself. It's
important to take quiet, reflective
time for yourself but also allow
yourself the support offered from
friends and family.
The holidays may affect other
family members. Talk over your
plans and share your feelings.


We work to enable our hospice
patients to have high hopes for a
good life, no matter how long or
short it may be. We help their fami-
lies and others in the community
who are grieving, to cherish and
celebrate their memories of a life
with someone who was special, so
that instead of focusing on the
"loss" of a loved one, they find a
renewed appreciation of how
much they gained from knowing
that person and from sharing life's
experiences with them.

It has been our privilege to
share hope and renewal with the
people of southwest Florida for 25
years. If we may be of service,
please call 1-800-835-1673, or visit
our Web site at ,www.hopehos-
pice,org.


Joke of


Letter to the Editor


the week


Unhappy with water
Information about water
came again this week- also a bill.
The amount for sewage and
trash pickup were high, but we
do appreciate the services. But
the high rate for water use is
insulting. We buy gallons of
water every week for drinking,
cooking and watering our
plants. I'm not happy about
washing our cloths and dishes in
it, but we have no other choice.
The water is so gray and full of
sediment that the filter on the
washer clogs up. The gaseous


odor that comes from the faucet
when I turn the water on is rot-
ten. I have used bleach, ammo-
nia, lemon juice, pine sol and
comet in the drain; and all with-
out change. :
'We love LaBelle and want to
spend our last years here in this
paradise. A break in the water
costs would help pay for the
water we have to buy. Surely,
after all these years, there must
be a way to purify the water bet-
ter and the sight of it.
Sincerely,
Barbara Herring

Question of the week: Concerning income taxes, what
would you like to see be tax deductible that isn't now?


..,i~ ;~~~,* 4c ;:--


Chip Miller said, "I think we
should be able to deduct
our hunting and fishing
expenses."


Susan Vaughan said, "I
believe that vet bills and
medical related necessities
should be tax deductible.
Pets are like some people's
families."


Allen Riberty said, "I think we
should be able to deduct funerals
and even life insurance from our
Income taxes."


John McCardel said, "I think that
when you reach 65 years of age,
you should not be taxed on any-
thing. At this age people have
worked their whole lives and now
they can't afford their medications,
Insurance and taxes. Many can't
afford to retire. I don't mind paying
taxes, but I do mind what much of
my taxes are used for."


Warren Bordner said, "I don't
think we should have any
Income tax at all. I think we
should Just pay a consumption
tax of 10 percent. Let everyone
pay their own fair share."

Herbert Hoover Dike rehabilitated


By MaryAnn Morris
LAKE OKEECHOBEE The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
has the responsibility to maintain the
Herbert Hoover Dike which encir-
cles 730-acre Lake Okeechobee. A
"rehabilitation" of this 70-year-old
flood-control structure was begun
by the Corps last year. This construc-
tion, long in coming has taken years
to obtain the necessary funding and
to gain the approval of concerned.
environmental groups and water
managers.
"The Dike is designed for a
probable maximum flood eleva-
tion of 26. feet coupled with a 100
year wind event with winds oF 109
miles an hour," said Luis Ruiz, a
registered professional engineer


and Chief ,I ithe COE .Gec-techrilcal
Division.
"There has been some leakage,
called 'piping' or 'boils' seen since
the 1980s. These areas are repaired
as they are observed," said Mr. Ruiz.
The Herbert Hoover Dike Reha-
bilitation Project, is the long-term
solution. This solution was pro-
duced after 19 years of study and

permit reviews since piping was
first seen in 1984.
A "cut-off wall" will be con-
structed on the land-side of the dike..
It will be tvo feet thick, impervious
to seepage of water and visible from
the adjacent road (US 441 S). The
top of the wall will be at 26 feet
above sea level. The wall will extend
down through the dike to ten feet
below sea level. This will prevent
water from the lake from seeping
through the dike. A gravel-filled
trench near the existing rim canal at
the bottom of the slope of the dike
will carry off water from the slope of
the dike below the cut-offwall,
The work will be done section
by section urder individual con-
tracts to best utilize the funds allo-
cated each Federal Budgetyear.
"There are 6,200 feet of wall
bull on the first section (Reach 1-


A)," said Jacob Davis, of the COE.
Reach 1-A extends roughly from
Port Myaka to Sand Cut. The design
documents for Reaches 1-B and 1-
C are about 60 percent complete,"
continued Mr. Davis, "This is where
we look at different solutions and
methods and decide what is best
for this particular site."
Reaches 1-B and 1-Cwill extend
south from Sand Cut down to Cul-
vert C-10 in Pahokee just north of
the Belle Glade Airport.
"We are also working on the
plans and specifications for Reach
1-D, said Mr. Davis. "This will pick
up where Reach 1-C leaves off and
extend to Culvert C-351 near the
Torre. Island Bridge." After the
plans and specifications are com-
plete they will be re-reviewed
before public advertising for bids
late this coming summer.

The Cowgirls softball team
won two more games this past
week and in doing so also won a
district title. The deciding game
was an 8-0 no. hitter pitched
against Clewiston by Amanda
Atuh. This came on the heels of a
tough 10-8 victory over the Tigers
two nights earlier.
The Cowgirl bats were alive
and well in the victory as they
pounded out 13 hits and then
took advantage of the six errors
by the Tigers. Dani Blake led the
LaBelle attack with another
home-run on a three-hit perform-
ance. She also drove in two runs
while scoring three times.
Heather Raulerson also had a
big night at the plate as she went
three-for-five and scored once.
Blake Rice and Amanda Atun also
had a multi-hit night with two a
piece.
Meanwhile, Atun was hot
from the mound as she faced just
23 batters over seven innings, get-
ting most of the girls to hit into
groundouts. She was able to
strike out three batters.
After doing so well in that
game, the Cowgirls had a let
down in their following game as
they traveled to Lely and dropped
it by the score of 8-1. LaBelle won
the earlier meeting 5-1.
Coach Marroquin said after-
wards that his team came in men-
tally unprepared and never really
got in the groove. "We just didn't


show up tonight and they did. It's
that simple. We need to get our
focus back and play our kind of
ball."
Cori Ankney had two hits to
lead the Cowgirls, while Vanessa
Ostolaza managed to get the only
extra base hit with a double.
The girls took the advice of
their coach in their final game of
the week as they played host to
Lemon Bay. For most of the game
the pitchers were in control as they
kept the other team off balance.
Lemon Bay broke through for
a run in the top of the sixth inning
and LaBelle quickly answered
with a run of its own in the bot-
tom of the inning.
Still, the Cowgirls had to
change things up offensively. The
Lemon Bay pitcher was throwing
a lot of off speed stuff and Marro-
quin decided to go.to the small
ball game plan as he went to the
bunt.
That was the difference as the
Cowgirls got the victory in the
bottom of the eighth inning when
Ankney got a sharp hit after
LaBelle got on with back-to-back
bunts. The final score was 2-1 for
the Cowgirls.
LaBelle will play its final regu-
lar season.game as they travel to-
Sebring this week. From there
they will begin the district tourna-
ment in Clewiston on Monday.
They open with a game against
Dunbar and with a win, will play
on Wednesday night.

Cowboy powerlifters

dominate at meet


LaBelle High School will send
seven lifters to the state meet in
the Gainesville April 21. The
Cowboys had seven first place
finishers, and three second place
finishers Saturday at their own
Sectional finals. The Cowboys
first seven receive an automatic
bid to state, while the second
place winners could still get in
with a wild card berth. This Sec-
tional Championship is LaBelle's
fourth in a row.
S"Out. of the.,seve,, going ,I.
think five could place, at state.
With that many guys, we should
place at state for the second time


ever," said Coach Kelley. In the
.past, 20 points has been a strong
score at State finals. The -Cow-
boys could get close to that goal
with a couple of breaks, First
place finishers were: Keyendae
Brown 129, Angel Pequeno'139,
Gabriel Puente 154, Blake
Basquin 169, Matt Davidson 199,
Tim Gonzalez 219 and heavy
weight Phil Anderson. Second

SHere's one that plenty of baseball fans
Sshouldbe able to answer. Which major
league ballpark has had the most home
runs hit in it? It's got to be one of the
old parks, right? Andone with reason-
Sably reachable fences. Don't think too
I hard. It's Wrigley Field in Chicago,
which passed Detroit's Tiger Stadium
during the 2005 season. Entering 2006,
almost 12,200 homers have cleared the
Wrigley walls since 1914.
Here's another home run riddle most
baseball fans just might be able to solve.
IEntering the 2005 season, which pos I
tion ranked first among them all in most
total homers in major league history,
Iand which position ranked last, not
counting pitchers, of course? First place
goes to first base -- more than 37,200
Total home runs by players at that posi-
tion through 2004. Right fielders were
Next with more than 34,500. In last
Place (no surprise) were shortstops
With almost 14,500.
I* *I
I I
There is bad luck, terrible luck, and then
I the luck of basketball fan Marc Stem.
SIn 1962, Ster was an 18-year-old sopho- I
More at Dickinson College in Carlisle,
PA. On March 2, he had tickets to see
the NBA's Philadelphia Warriors play
Sthe New York Knicks in nearby
Hershey. But Stern had an exam the
next day, so he gave his tickets away I
and missed history, because that was
the night Wilt Chamberlain scored 100
points. Flash forward almost 44 years
after, to January 21, 2006: Living in Los
Angeles and a Lakers season ticket
holder, Stern couldn't attend that
night's game because he had to go to a
Birthday party. So he gave his tickets
Saway and missed the game in which
Kobe Bryant rang up 81 points, second
in league history only to Wilt's 100.
I'll bet you didn't know, coming or
going, that when the rubber hits the
road, you can't afford not to buy from
Langford.

Cookbook includes food for the soul


By Barbara Oehlbeck

There are cookbooks and
cookbooks, and then there's:
FLORIDA FLAVORS II
"Civilized men have drifted
away from those simple, ele-
mental basics with which
mankind was conditioned
through the countless centuries.
The average man today has lost
touch with which way the wind
is blowing. It does not matter
any more, so he pays no atten-
tion to the movement of the air"
Ernest Lyons
This may not seem like an apt
beginning for a cookbook ...
matter of fact the above excerpt
is not really the beginning but an
introduction of sorts to the
Breads & Brunch section of the
just out FLORIDA FLAVORS II.
Other excerpts by Mr. Lyons
appear here and there through
this un-ordinary cookbook. Rich
with original art by James and
Kevin Hutchinson plus artistic
'motifs, this is an extraordinary
collection of recipes and cook-
ing ideas that will add taste and
charm to your efforts in the
kitchen.
The book itself is stunning.
High gloss hardback with ring
binding which the
hardback covers completely;
344 pages. The full color paint-
ing on the front cover is a work
of art by Kevin Hutchinson. The
weathered cracker house hangs
on the side of a creek, an old
man contentedly sits on the
porch fishing, the palms in the
foreground and background


seem to be waving in the wind
and like a brilliant umbrella, a
poinciana tree spreads its fill-in-
bloom arms over the little
weathered house. It's a quiet,
forever Florida scene of a
bygone era.
The table of contents is very
unusual and very
inviting... including Party Fare,
Breads and Brunch, Salads
and Soup, Entrees, Seafood
Entrees, Vegetables and Side
Dishes, Desserts and lastly there
are the Pet Pages.
No less than 12 salsa recipes
just beg to be tried. And there's
:Peachy Pork that can't wait for
Sunday dinner or company as
well as Southern Sausage and
Wild Rice. And who can live
without the treats of key limes?
There's no less than three whole
pages of key lime pie recipes
including the Lorelei Key Lime
Pie that dates back to the origi-
nal Florida Classic Flavors pub-
lished over 20 years ago.
Although It's personal,
Mama's Best Country Meat Loat,
has been a family favorite for
generations: (Page 136)
I cup cracker or bread
crumbs, milk, I cup chopped
onions, I pound each ground
beef, turkey and hot sausage, 2
eggs, cup ketchup, 3 table-
spoon soy sauce, 3-1 cup
chopped green bell peppers
optional) but adds greal fla-
vors, alt and pepper to taste, cel-
ery salt to taste. Preheat oven to
325 to 350 degrees.
Soak crumbs in enough milk
to moisten all crumbs, set aside.
Saute onions until softened. MLx


together all meats. Combine
soaked crumbs, sauteed onions,
eggs, ketchup, soy sauce and
bell peppers. Add to meat mix-
ture and blend. Season with sail,
pepper and celery salt. Form
mixture into 3 loaves in baking
pans. Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

This recipe is also great to
use in stuffed. peppers or as
meatballs. The meatloaf freezes
well, raw or cooked. Yield: .3
loaves
Mama's Youngest Daughter
Barbara Oehlbeck
Even if you never use one
recipe from this new cookbook,
Ihe thoughts and observations
scallered throughout are worth
"the price of admission." It's no


wonder that it took the Environ-
mental Studies Council, Inc.
more than a few years to com-
pile this extraordinary book.',
Most recipes call for ingredi-
ents most cooks have on hand
most of the time.
"The young are:wonderful.
They are the promise of the
future. Protecting the young,
teaching the young to survive
are elemental expressions of
love." --The-Last Cracker Bar-
rel" by Ernest Lyons

wildfire causes.
Anyone seeing or hearing
anything about the start of a
wildfire should call the Arson
Alert Hotline at 800 342 5869.
Calls may be made confidential-
ly and up to a $5,000 reward is
offered for information leading
to an arrest.
With the current dry condi-
tions fires of any type are strong-
ly discouraged. Everyone should
think twice before they use fire
for any purpose, especially
burning yard debris. Required
set backs must be met (50 feet
from roads, 150 feet from occu-
pied structures, 25 feet from


wildland areas) and the local
fire department must be noti-
fied. Homeowners should make
sure they have water and equip-
ment available on their property
before starting any fire for any
reason.
April 9-15 is designated by
the State as Wildfire Awareness
Week. This time of year, wild-
fires are started by people. It is'
everyone's responsibility to pre-
vent wildfires by using common
sense. Let's get a head start on
"being aware."

After looking at several alemative

"It's something of a challenge

The benefit of choosing the late

the spring return of swallow-tailed Em:

"The birds are nesting then, so
you don't have the big flocks of

alcohols' are neither sugar, nor alcohol


These days, interest in nutrition
has more people reading food
labels Readers often report that
food labels can be confusing. This
week, a reader asked me about
"sugar alcohol."
"Sugar alcohols" is the cbm-
mon name for a group of food
additives often used as artificial
sweeterers. These substances not
sulJar and the\ aren't alcohol. The
name "sugar alcohols" is used
because the chemical structure of
these substances in part resembles
sugar and in part resembles alco-
hol Sugar alcohol does not contain
the type of alcohol that is found in
alcoholic beverages.
Another name for sugar alco-
hols is polyols. These substances
occur naturally in foods. They
corner trorn plant products such as
tuits anrd berres The\y ae used as
suigal substitutes because the\ are
metabolized more slowly than
cane sugai Because the body con-.
verts 'sugar alcohols' to glucose
slowly, they do no cause a sudden
rise in blood sugar. For this reason,
for many years, these sweeteners
have been used in products mar-
keted to diabetics.
As Americans have become
more concerned about calories,
"sugar alcohols".-- which sweeten
with fewer calories than regular
sugar -- have been more common-
ly used in many processed foods.
Many products that are marketed
as "sugar free" contain these
"sugar alcohols."
"Sugar alcohols' have other
advantages. Because-they do not
promote tooth decay, "sugar alco-
hols" are often found in sugar-free
chewing gum. "Sugar alcohols"
also help processed foods retain
moisture.
Commonly used sugar alcohols
include mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol,
lactitol, isomalt, maltitol and hydro-
genated starch hydrolysates
(HSH).
Sugar. alcohols are a potential
problem for those who are count-
ing their carbohydrates. Some


Healthier
Life


with Katrina Elsken '


'sugar alcohols' do contain carbo-
hydrates.
Another problem with "sugar
alcohols" is that side effects of con-
suming too many "sugar alcohols"
may include bloating andor diar-
rhea. Remember, these substances
come from fruits and eating too
much of certain fruits can also
cause these same symptoms.
According to the Yale New-
Haven Hospital health Web site:
the most common used forms of
"sugar alcohols" include:
.* Mannitol -- occurs naturally in
pineapples, olives, asparagus,
sweet potatoes and carrots. It is
extracted from seaweed for use in
food manufacturing. Mannitol has
50-70 percent of the relative sweet-
ness of sugar, which means more
must be used to equal the sweet-
ness of sugar. Mannitol lingers in
the intestines for a long time and
therefore often causes bloating and
diarrhea.
SSorbitol -- is found naturally in
fruits and vegetables. It is manufac-
tured from corn syrup. Sorbitol has
only 50 percent of the relative
sweetness of sugar which means
twice as much must be used to
deliver a similar amount of sweet-
ness to a product. It has less of a
tendency to cause diarrhea com-
pared to mannitol. It is often an
ingredient in sugar-free gums and
candies.
Xylitol -- is also called "wood
sugar" and occurs naturally in
straw, corncobs, fruit, vegetables,
cereals, mushrooms and some
cereals. Xylitol has the same rela-


live sweetness as sugar. It is found
in chewing gums.
Lactitol -- has about 30-10 per-
.cent of sugar's sweetening power,
but its taste and solubility profile
resembles sugar so it is olten iound
in sugar-free ice cream, chocolate,
hard and soti candies, baked
goods, sugar-reduced pieseives
and chewing gums.
Isomalt -- is -15 65 percent as
sweet as sugar and does not lend
to lose its sweetness or break
down during the heating process
Isomall absorbs little watei, so it is
often used in hard candies, toffee,
cough drops and lollipops.
Maltitol -- is 75 percent as
sweet as sugar. il is used in sugar-
free hard candies, che'\ing gum,
chocolate-ila% ored desserts, baked
.goods and ice crea-mn because it
gives a creamy texture to foods.
H\ drogenidld staich
hydrol\ sates i HSH -- are produced
by the partial liydrol\ sis of corn.
HSH are nutlitie sweeteners that
provide 40 90 percent of the
sweetness of sugar. HSH do not
crystallize and are used extensively
in confections, baked goods and
mouthwashes.
American Diabetes Association
offers the following tips for count-
ing carbohydrates in foods that
contain "sugar alcohols":
Sugar alcohols don't raise blood
glucose as much as the same
amount of other carbohydrates. To
figure out the amount of other car-
bohydrate you should count for a
food with sugar alcohols, follow
these tips:
Subtract half of the sugar alco-
hol grams from the total carbohy-
drate;
Count the remaining grams.
For Example:
Serving Size: 1 bar
Total carbohydrate 15 grams
Sugar alcohol 6 grams
One bar counts as 12 grams car-
bohydrate (15-3 = 12)
The American Diabetes Associ-
ation also accepts the FDA's con-
clusion that the following low-calo-


rie or calorie-free sweeteners are
safe and can be part of a health\
diet:.
.e Saccharin (Sweet N Low,
Sugar Twin) -- Saccharin can be
used in both hot and cold foods to
rnake them sweeter You may
recall that some studies giving very
large quantities of saccharine to
rats raised concerns that saccharin
could cause cancer, but many stud-
ies and \ears of use have shown
saccharin to be safe in the quanti-
ties used by consumers.
Aspartame (NutraSw\\eet,
Equal) -- Aspartame is another
low-calorie sweetener.: Because
high temperatures can decrease its
sweetness,.check the manufactur-
er's Web site or call their lollfree
number for guidelines when using ,
aspartarne in recipes
Acesulfame potassium
i.5 \eet One, S\vss S\\eel, Sunett) -
.Another low -calorie sweetener on
the market is acesullame potassi-
um, also called acesulfame-K. This
sweetener is heat stable and can be
used in baking and cooking.,
Sucralose (SPLENDA) --
Sucralose is the newest low-calorie
sweetener on the market.
,Sucralose is not affected by heat
and retains its sweetness in hot
beverages, baked goods, and
processed foods. If you like to
cook, you know that sugar does
more in hot foods, especially
baked goods like cookies and
cakes, than just add sweetness. It
also affects the way the foods cook
and the final texture. Substitutirig a
low-calorie sweetener may affect
the texture and taste. Many people
use a combination of sugar and a
low-calorie sweetener to reduce
overall calories and sugar while still
producing acceptable results.
Before making any changes to
your diet or exercise plan, consult
your, doctor. This is especially
important for diabetics and for
those on any prescription medica-
tions. Some drugs interact badly
with foods that would otherwise
be considered "healthy."

The fourth leading cause of
,death among people ages 10 to
24 .is alcohol. Additionally,
alcohol is a major factor in the
three leading causes of death
for youth, which include sui-
cide,' motor vehiclee crashes,
and homicide, and is linked to
two-thirds of all sexual assaults
and date rapes of teens as well
as college students.
Underage drinking costs.
Americans nearly $53 billion.
Alcohol abuse is the number
one drug problem young peo-
ple are experiencing in the
United States right now.
In the United States, the.
average age kids begin to drink
is 12-years-old. Additionally,.
people that start using, alcohol
before the age of 1'5 are four
times more likely to develop an
alcohol addiction at some
point in their lives, compared
to those who start drinking at
the legal age of 21.
Advertising and other media
messages play a big role in set-
ting social standards concern-
ing underage drinking. It has
been proven that advertise-
ments for alcoholic beverages
influence current drinking
behavior, as well as intentions
to drink.
The above reasons are why
the Community Anti-Drug
Coalitions of America (CADCA)
is joining the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) in
"Reach Out Now National
Teach-In," a national alcohol
education program that
emphasizes Alcohol Aware-
ness Month. The Teach-In
