Counties plan joint meet


By Patty Brant
A common approach to
impending growth will be the
topic of a joint Hendry-Glades
commission meeting on Tues-
day, May 2, at 6 p.m. The round
table session will take place in
the Dallas B. Townsend Agricul-
ture Center in LaBelle.

Port LaBelle
Utilities


Encore Construction was the
lowest of three bidders for the
new PBLU waterplant at
$5,550,000. A contract will be
prepared for the April 25 com-
mission meeting. A new plant is
still about a year away.
Lack of capacity at the current
PLBU plant has forced Phase II
water restrictions. PBLU cus-
tomers received a notice outlin-
ing how landscaping and outside
water use is curtailed. Fines may
be imposed on violators, but cus-


tomers are currently simply
being asked to comply.
The county commissioners
also approved a rate study for
Port LaBelle Utilities. The study
will be done by Tetra Tech. It will
include water and wastewater
rates and charges based on costs
of services and community stan-
dards.

Commissioners
decided to support


Central County Water Control
District residents' request for an
election that could change it
from a rural to an urban water
district. According to the district's
attorney, a petition residents sub-
mitted seeking a special election
was invalid. Although it was sub-
mitted with the specified time
period, three signatures were
unverified. For years Montura res-
idents have been trying unsuc-
cessfully to dissolve their 298 dis-
trict which favors large


landowners. The commissioners
opted to support them "to the
fullest extent."

In other business:
* Commissioners approved
changes to the animal control
ordinance that mirror City of
LaBelle's newest ordinance.
The next regular meeting of
the Hendry County Commission
will be 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 25,
at the Courthouse in LaBelle.

from discharges of millions of
gallons of fertilizer and toxic

"The Corps has taken

Historically, the blue rib-
bon served as a national sym-
bol of child abuse awareness
for nearly 15 years. It originat-
ed in Norfolk, Va., in the
spring of 1989 when Bonnie
Finney, a grandmother whose
3-year-old grandson died at
the hands of his mother's
abusive boyfriend, tied a blue
ribbon to her van as a symbol
of her personal commitment
to involve everyone in the
effort to prevent child abuse.
While the blue ribbons
have served the purpose of
increasing awareness of the
prevalence of abuse and neg-
lect in our communities, the
focus now shifts from the
problem of abuse to the solu-


tion of effective prevention.
The symbol for the message
of prevention is the pinwheel
and represents the winds of
change.
The Winds of Change
highlights how parenting has
changed over the years as a
result of changes in social,
cultural and demographic
trends in families. The pin-
wheel represents this change
and the message of preven-
tion. Each pinwheel given out
represents a new birth in our
local community and an
opportunity to support a new
family from the very begin-
ning. In Hendry County there

WASHINGTON Massive
releases of highly-polluted
water from Lake Okeechobee
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers (Corps) and the South
Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) threaten
the health of the incredibly pro-
ductive Caloosahatchee River,
which American Rivers listed
today as America's #7 most
endangered river for 2006.
The annual America's Most
Endangered Rivers report high-
lights ten rivers facing a major
turning point in the coming
year, where action by citizens
can make a huge difference for
both community well-being
and river health.

created dangerously high water
levels in the lake, exacerbating
water quality problems in Lake
Okeechobee by churning fertiliz-
er-laden sediments and re-sus-
pending them into a trillion gal-
lons of lake water.
Prompted by limits on storage
volume, the SFWMD now regu-
larly releases polluted water up
to 69,500 gallons per second -
from Lake Okeechobee into the
Caloosahatchee River.
These water releases sacrifice
the river's water quality. The com-
bination of re-suspended sedi-
ments and fertilizers has turned
Lake Okeechobee water into
- what local reporters liken to
chocolate soup, which now flows
regularly into the Caloosahatch-
ee, and eventually.reaches San
Carlos Bay., This leads to algal
blooms that deplete dissolved
oxygen, block sunlight, clog boat
intakes and produce fish-killing

simply large structures built to
withstand high winds, intended
to keep people safe through the
storm. So, any comforts you may
have, you will have to bring with
you.
- In the past few years, there
have been a total of three PSN
shelters in Hendry/Glades. This
year the two Emergency Man-
agement offices and the Hendry-
Glades Health Department have
partnered to consolidate them
into just one the Muse Com-
munity Center. Built to withstand
a Category Four storm, the Muse
center is a compromise.
Hendry's Emergency Manage-
ment Director Tom Kochheiser
said the state wanted local PSNs
to be sheltered at Sarasota. After
Wilma last year, the state recom-
mended the area regionalize
Emergency Management func-
tions. The jointPSN is one way
the two counties are cooperating
through team work to achieve a
"high level of service and safety
efficiency," Glades EM Director
Angela Osceola agrees.
PSN procedures remain the
same. You must register in
advance with your Emergency
Management office as a PSN.
Currently, there are some 35


toxins. These toxins are also a
threat to human health.
"The Caloosahatchee is the
lifeblood of all of Southwest Flori-
da," said Mary Rawl of. the
Caloosahatchee River Citizens
Association. "The crisis point is
right now and we cannot contirl-
ue to let the river be a disposal
conduit of last resort for Central
and South Florida."
The report calls on the Corps
to ensure that water discharges
are managed to dramatically-
reduce the devastating impacts to
the Caloosahatchee as they final-
ize a new discharge schedule by
January 2007. At the same time,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
must ensure that any new water
management plan complies
strictly with the Endangered
Species Act, while the Corps
and SFWMD develop and imple-
ment a water quality plan that
includes specific.pollution reduc-
tion targets that address pollution

well as that flowing out of the lake,
into the Caloosahatchee.

people on the PSN registry in
LaBelle, 12 in Clewiston and ten
in Moore Haven. As a storm
approaches and the shelter
opens, emergency management
personnel will still call those on
the register to coordinate their
plan. As previously, Good
Wheels will still pick up people
registered for the PSN shelter or
they may be transported there by
family or friends. Remember,
you must be ready to go when
the Good Wheels bus arrives it
will not wait and it will not
return for you.
Health department nurse
Susan Holland said staff sta-
tioned at the PSN will check
patients in, along with their care-
giver and supplies. They will go
over their registration form and
verify their information. Health
department staff is there to sup-
port caregivers, not take their
place in any way, and to provide
a calming effect with a little extra
TLC.
The Glades County EMS will
also be using the Muse Commu-
nity Center as a staging area, so
during the storm there will be
the added advantage of having
EMT/paramedics on hand if
needed. However, once the
storm passes and ambulances
can again be on the road, they

servation Foundation.
"The system of structures and
the policies which guide their use
can no longer provide for the pro-
tection of the environment so cru-
cial to the economy of Central
and South Florida."
"The problems of the Caloosa-
hatchee River can be solved if fed-
eral, state and local regulators

ficial storage, treat more water,
and time releases to mimic natu-
ral water flow\," said Andrew

About America's Most Endan-
gered Rivers
Each year, American Rivers
solicits nominations from thou-
sands of river groups, environ-
mental organizations, outdoor
clubs, local governments, and
taxpayer watchdogs for the Amer-
ica's Most Endangered Rivers


inevitably be coming in.
Residents should remember
that all public shelters are
"refuges of last resort" only. No
comforts and no pels (so make
sure to have a plan for your ani-
mals before the storm hits). Pub-
lic shelters are crowded and
noisy, with none of the relative
comforts you would have at
home, even with a loss of power.
Emergency personnel advise
that, if you have anywhere else
to go during the storm, that's
your best bet. Slay home, if pos-
sible, shelter with family or
friends in a substantial structure
or leave the area.
Ms. Osceola and Mr.
Kochheiser remind all residents
to start putting their hurricane
supplies together now. Include
necessary medications (or at
least a list of them, nonperish-
able foods, water, flashlights,
radios, batteries, extra clothes
and things to keep you occupied
(books, magazines, games). If
you have a baby don't forget
baby food, formula, diapers all
the everyday paraphernalia that
babies need.

Judy Paskvan, Program Manag-
er for Healthy Families, says
"Parenting is not an easy job,
young parents need our sup-
port. Babies do not come With
instructions and young parents
need to understand how their
baby develops and grows, as
well as how important they are
in the lives of their children."
The Healthy Families Pro-
gram is focused on the preven-
tion of child abuse and neglect
and helps families from the very
beginning with a positive par-
enting approach. Family Support
Workers support parents in
being the best parents they can
be by learning about their
child's development, the impor-
tance of preventive health and


creating a safe home environ-
ment for the children. Everyone
can help protect our children
by:
Be a role model by demon-
strating for children and other
adults how conflicts can be
resolved without hitting or
yelling. Volunteer your time to
help strengthen families in our
community: Get to know your
neighbors and their children or
grandchildren. Offer to baby-sit
for free to give stressed parents a
little time for themselves.
Become a mentor for a child or
new parent. Donate your chil-
dren's outgrown clothing or toys
to a family in need. Learn what
child abuse is. Recognize the
common signs of abuse. Report

becomes small, dense and sticky

UPSET OVER GRADUATION: We the parents are outraged about
this year's graduation at LaBelle High School.
These kids and parents have waited a life time for this day and now
the school is going to take it away from us because they want to try
something new. Please!
.Having graduation on a hot Saturday morning is bad enough but to
limit the students to 15 tickets is pure insanity. That means only parents
and grandparents can come. What about the other relatives that have
been to our other kids' graduations and now can't attend this child's?
That isn't fair.
What about our pastors, coaches, former teachers and friends who
have watched them grow up and are excited about this day as we all
are? That means Mrs. Puletti can't come with Mr. Puletti because she
doesn't have a ticket because she isn't a family member of one of the
students. Do you see how ridiculous this all is? Not to mention unfair to
the students.
I know of a lot of kids who are not wanting to attend their own
graduation because their whole family won't be able to attend. How
do you pick which brother or sister gets to go when you don't have
enough tickets for a large family? I do believe the school board needs
to rethink this and consider the problems, you will have at the gate
when you try to turn someone away that doesn't have.a ticket but has
driven a far distance to see their relative graduate, not to mention the
ones with toddlers that also have to have tickets.
We are telling you no matter how good you think this idea is, that
you are going to have big fallout from this on graduation day. I for one
will be livid if my child's graduation day is marred by fallout from this.

LANDFILL DEAL ALREADY STINKS: The Glades County Correction-
al Development Corporation will soon break ground on.the new $32
million dollar Glades County Jail and Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) facility. Have any of the proponents of the pro-
posed "regional landfill" being discussed to be sited on the adjacent
Duda property, through annexation by the City of Moore Haven, con-
templated what the impact of that facility might be upon the INS proj-
ect?
It is entirely possible that once tons of trash begin to be trucked in to
this regional landfill that "detainees" at the INS facility could lodge a
federal complaint against "cruel and unusual punishment" due to the
stench. So might inmates at the GEO complex across the street. Were
that to happen, all of those "detainees" could be relocated elsewhere
and with themthe money that pays for their keep.
The county plans to develop the rest of the property as a business
park. Companies only choose to site next to a landfill when there are
no alternative sites available. Think about it.

CODE ENFORCEMENT: Why do we have this department if it is not
enforced? By not being enforced, junk cars, bikes, car parts and trash
in yards. How can the public help? How much force do they have?
How can they have more force?

QUESTION FORANY SHERIFF'S DEPT. OR FHP: Is it legal to pass a
road grader or farm equipment with two solid yellow lines? No. Why
do so many do it?

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?: I am a bookkeeper for a local busi-
ness in LaBelle and it is impossible for me to understand how some-
one in the Hendry County Clerk's Office can embezzle $60,000 and no
one have a clue that this is going on. This person has been (allegedly)
stealing for over six months and it is just now being discovered. How
can this be? All I can say is this is the poorest excuse for record keeping
that Thdv' ever heard of. Are there no checks arid balances in place to
prevent this from happening? I believe that supervisors within the
clerk's office havq to bear a portion of the blame.

Are we outnumbered in Hendry County?


With all the "to do" about
immigration, wire tapping, leak-
ing, lobbyist graft, and, now, bird
flu as an honest, god fearing citi-
zen and tax payer, did you ever

influences on our sanity and well
being? When in doubt, we can
call on the wisdom of Benjamin
Franklin, who among his many
talents, had awaywith words.
He is credited with saying "All
the Constitution guarantees is the
pursuit of happiness. You have to
catch up with it by yourself."
In today's situations I take that
to mean exercising more valued
judgment in electing our govern-
ing representatives than we have

apparently done to date.
Although it was meant in
humor, there is a story circulating
under the guise of a new disease
being transmitted out of the politi-
cians "think"
tanks. It is designated by the
name "Gonorrhea Lectim" and is
pronounced "gonna re-elect
'em?"
Once you get by the shock
value of the pseudo titular desig-
nation, and disregard any social
implications, there is a remedial,
curative action available. All you
have do is put the "act" back in
action.


Coincidentally, I ran across
another corruptive factor appar-
ently affecting the governing
process at all levels of govern-
ment.
It is the demise of the citizen's
most staunch advocate, and long-
Stime friend and supporter, Mr.
Common Sense.
Mr. Common Sense lived by
the golden rule, the Ten Com-
mandments, and provided solid
supporting encouragement and
guidance at all levels of human
needs and involvements.
Having been preceded in
death by his parents, Truth and
Trust, his wife Conscience, his
daughter Responsibility and his
son Reason, he is survived by two
step brothers, Irresponsible and
Imawhiner.
No real mention of his passing
has been publicized because so


few of us have realized he is gone
- another insidious sign of the
times, as our
over-litigated, over-regulated,
familyless, overstressed economy
and lifestyles careen toward some
fictitious finish line.
If you still remember Mr. Com-
mon Sense, and how useful he.
can be, rise up and rebut, through
the citizen action and elective
processes.
As the majority, at this
moment, this seems arcane and
foreign to your depth of concerns,
you can surrender one of your
few remaining freedoms and
allow the minorities, as Ben'
Franklin said "to catch up with it
by themselves."
Respectfully,
T. W. Bill Neville (Hendry,
County Citizen and Taxpayer)


Stock redemption


SSomething that came up
recently with a client, and I
believe is worth discussing, is
stock redemption for those of you
who own stock in a family busi-
ness, farm or close corporation.
Generally the stock you own is
traded on one of the exchanges,
and consequently there'is a ready
market for it. However, when you
have a small business with a limit-
ed number of stockholders, sell-
ing your stock may be difficult.
The first place you think of is one
of the other stockholders. Since
everybody is in the same boat, it
often makes sense to have a buy
and sell agreement.
Thereby, if you die or become
disabled, a specified person or
persons will purchase your stock.
I discussed the importance of buy
and sell agreements several
months ago in this column, but
not specific types or close corpo-
ration situations.
There are two basic ways to do
a buy-back. First, you have a writ-
ten agreement that says you or
your personal representative,
must sell or offer to sell your
shares to the corporation. The
agreement specifies that the cor-
poration must purchase those
shares, at a price determined by
an agreed upon formula. This is. a
simple corporate buy-back.
The second method involves
selling the stock not to the corpo-
ration, but directly to the other
stockholders. The agreement usu-
ally specifies that the shares be
sold proportionately so that the
remaining stockholders continue
to own the same respective per-
centage of the corporation.
Is there an advantage to the
second method? You bet! It
allows those purchasers to obtain
a new cost basis for the shares
they are buying directly from you
or your personal representative.
Otherwise, if the corporation itself
buys the stock, it is retired or car-
ried as Treasury stock on the
books. The disadvantage of the
second method (called the criss-
cross method) is the complexity


Financial
Tips

when dealing with many stock-
holders. The total net worth of the
corporation is the same either
way, but surviving stockholders,
perhaps your family members or
friends, who later sell their stock,
will want the increased cost basis
for their stock.
There are some complex IRS
rules that come into play when
your personal representative
redeems stock shares to a corpo-
ration in which you own more
than 35 percent of the business or
farm, and uses the money to pay
Federal Estate Taxes, funeral
expenses and administration
costs. Here you want to look at
section 303 of the IRS code. Those
rules are designed to help you,
but you need to go over them
with your CPA or your tax attor-
ney.
In that situation you may inten-
tionally have a corporate buy-
back and not use the criss-cross
method. Often, life insurance
policies are purchased to guaran-
tee the cash will be readily avail-
able j, the corporation to pur-
chase those qualifying shares
upon the death of the stockhold-
er. As much as you might want to
barter with the IRS, they are only
interested in cash! Death taxes are
due nine months after death on
Form 706, arid although form
4768 will get you a six-month
extension, it doesn't prevent you
from having to pay the tax or the
interest due for being late. Thus, if
you have a sizable estate, and a
close corporation or farm, do
some careful planning with your
shares of stock. Wayne C. Switzer,

Question of the week: What did you think of the Hispanic
march this last week protesting immigration laws?


Kayla Marshall, age 17,
said, "I think it was good
that they did it. They could
express how they felt."


Juan Martinez, age 17, said, \"I
went to the one in LaBelle. I
thought it was pretty calm and
peaceful. Everyone's ancestors
were immigrants at one time. And
now they are trying to kick out
Hispanic immigrants. It's going to
hurt the economy really bad."


Kenny Martinson, age 18, said,
"My parents went to the rally in
Ft..Myers. I would have gone, but
i had an important class that I
didn't want to miss. They said it
was peaceful, lots of people
showed up for a good cause."


Brandy Gonzalez, age 17, said,
"I think it was good that people
stood up for what they believe
in. I was going to do it, but I
worked the night before and
woke up to late to go to the one
in LaBelle."


Oscar Tovar, age 17, said, "I did-
n't have a ride to go to either
event, in Ft. Myers or LaBelle. I
really wanted to go. It was some-
thing that they should have done.
They do have a right to work
here. They are not criminals or
terrorists. If they want to get citi-
zenship they should. They
should at least get a work visa. I
hope the outcome will be good."


Ashley Morrissey, age 19, said,
"I think they should have done
it. I am happy that the school let
them do it to express them-
selves and their rights. If they
are legal or not-they still have
the right to express their
rights."


Brenda Arrieta, age 14, said,
"I thought it was good to
show support of the illegal
immigrants."

Okeechobee News
LAKE OKEECHOBEE Politi-
cians, wildlife experts, business-
men and locals continue to focus
their attention on the 730 sq. mile
lake named Lake Okeechobee
(Seminole for big water). The
beautiful lake was once home to a
multitude of wildlife from alliga-
tors and waterfowl to largemouth
bass, blue gill, specks and numer-
ous other fish. Its bounty was
essential to the economy of the
city and county. But now the lake
is in trouble. After years of mis-
management, neglect and natural
disasters, the fish population is
dwindling.
At a summit held on Jan. 13,
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con-
servation Commission (F1VCi dis-
cussed the decline in the fish pop-
ulation of Lake Okeechobee with
anglers, business owners and
biologists.
As reported in February, the
FWC took 66 electro fishing sam-
ples of largemouth bass at differ-
ent areas around the lake in areas
such as Harney Pond, Fisheating
Bay, Tin House Cove, Indian
Prairie Canal, Horse Island, King's
Bar, Cody's Cove and J&S Fish
Camp.
They took a lake-wide trawl in
27 primarily open-wvater areas
such as Taylor Creek, Nubbin
Slough, the open water south of
the Pass, the shiner traps and the
open water out from Horse Island
for other species of fish during the
month of October. Their findings
are far from positive.
"We picked up the lowest
number of black crappie since the
program started in 1973," said Jon
Fury, FWC South Region freshwa-
ter fisheries administrator. "Our
capture rate of black crappie larg-
er than 8 inches was 25 times
lower than average."
Recent electro fishing samples
in October 2005 also show a lack
of baby or, "young-of-the-year"
bass which indicates a poor
reproduction rate for bass.
"We collected one young-of-
the-year bass in 16 hours of elec-
tro fishing, which is startling," Mr.
Fury said. "Following the lake
recession and drought in 2000, we
collected 163 young-of-the-year
bass."
When asked what could be
done to save the lake, local FWC
biologist Don Fox stated, "There is
no short term solution. There is
too much waler and loo much
damage to the habitatftor a short
term fix. What we need iC '6eeral
years of ideal conditions such as
lower lake levels; good weather
conditions: and, the political

Junior Teen Anglers bass
fishing club had a good day
recently on the troubled Lake
Okeechobee as shown by the
lunker he brought in.
w heel to operate in such a way as
to help the lake. We're going to
have to become extremely restric-
tive on crappie limits. As for the
bass, they are not currently in as
much danger as crappies, but
should still be monitored closely,"
he added.
In trawls performed between
1988 and 1991 the dominant
species in the lake included
threadlin shad, bluegill, black
crappie, Florida gar, gizzard shad,
while catfish and red ear sunfish.
The average number of fish col-
lected was 6,052 with an average
of 11.21 fish per minute collected.
The average number of threadfin
shad was 2,992 and the average
number of black crappie being
2,037. The average weight of the
crappies was 80.39(g).
In October 2005 the samples
changed dramatically. The domi-
nant species are now black crap-
pie, w hite catfish, channel catfish,
Florida gar, bluegill and threadfin
shad. The total number of fish col-
lected was 1,145 with an average
number of fish collected per
minute of 2.12. The number of
threadfin shad had dropped to 80
and the average number of black
crappie had dropped to 482. Their
average weight had plummeted to
9.589ig). The drop in shad is par-
ticularly alarming as they are an
important part of the crappie's
food chain.
According to the recent press
release, based on biologists' expe-
rience from the past, they expect
the recovery of aquatic vegetation


and sport nsn populations to oe a
multi-year process. Mr. Fox's find-
ings have brought to light the
issues that those wvho depend on
the lake.for their livelihood have
known for years.
Mary Ann Martin, owner of
Roland Martin's Marina in Clewis-
ton, has seen the lake change over
the years. "The quality and quan-
tity of fishing on this lake has defi-
nitely declined," she said. "The
south end of the lake is worse than
the northern end. It is nothing but
muck and mud down here. Tour-
nament anglers are mainly fishing
in the Moonshine Bay area
because that's the only place
where there's fresh, clean water.
Crappie fishing has collapsed and
bass fishing has declined dramati-
cally because there just is no clear
water." She continued, "The eco-
nomic impact is devastating. A lot
of my long-time customers are
stating that they won't be back
next season." Ms. Martin predict-
ed that within the next two years,
there will be no crappie left in the
lake.
"There's nothing left for them
to eat. They're not spawning and
soon there won't be any (crappie)
left. Additionally, with the natural
food chain destroyed, all pan fish-
ermen will be gone within the
next two years. There's simply no
fish left for them. The figures
speak for themselves. The state of
Florida better wake up. In 2003
the economic impact of recre-
ation fishing in Florida was $7.8
billion. Non-resident anglers were
numbered at I million. Retail sales
contributed to fishing were $4.3
million."
The decline in the fish popula-
tion is already being fell locally.
Several bait shops have already
closed. Owners of those that
remain open are worried.
Bubba Helton who, along with
his wife Margaret, own Garrard's
Bait and Tackle Shop, has seen a
significant drop in the number of
crappie fishermen. He is worried
about the future of the lake
because it directly affects his busi-
ness and his family.
"'."\Ve need to have the lake
dropped to 10 feet and have it
done now. Then it needs to be
kept that low so that we get some
grass to grow on the bottom," said


Mr. Helton. "Crappie need grass to
spawn and there is none. The lake
has become a pure mud hole. I've
even seen a drop in bass, and you
can see by the weights that are
being brought in at the bass tour-
naments that there is a problem.
"You can thank South Florida
Water Management and the Corps
of Engineers for this mess. We
tried-to tell them even before the
hurricanes that we had a problem
with the lake level, but they
wouldn't listen to us locals. It's
going to take help from those who
come here to fish and spend
money to get their attention, and
we need the help as soon as possi-
ble," he continued. "If we don't
take care of the habitat, there will
be no fish," stated Mr. Fox. "The
lake is so muddy that plants won't
grow. People have to get united
and become involved if they want
this turned around. I'm worried
that there will be no lake for my
grandchildren to enjoy if some-
thing is not done to correct the sit-
uation and preserve one of Flori-
da's true natural resources."
Mrs. Martin agrees. "The Corps
of Engineers has a limited window
of opportunity right now to help
the lake. They must continue to
discharge water to drop the lake
levels before we come out of the
dry season and into the rainy and
hurricane seasons. The lake is like
a patient in intensive care and is
just being sustained. Something
has to be done. As long as the lake
is dirty the estuaries are not
healthy," she said.
Jim Dorris of Lake Okee-
chobee Bail and Tackle stated,
"This time last year it wasn't this
bad. The lake is so muddy that
crappies can't survive."
Jerry Stewart of Slim's Fish
Camp in Belle Glade said, "The
dynamite holes are not clearing
up. The lake is nothing but mud.
Bass can adapt, but crappies like
cleaner water. The water level is
getting down, but we need it
dropped more. In my opinion,
officials need to suspend spraying.

There is already a foot of sediment
helping to choke out the vegeta-
tion. We certainly don't need
more dead vegetation. Just let
Mother' Nature take its course.
Spraying is an issue by itself. It
causes a lot of problems and the
lake doesn't need more right now.
Lake Okeechobee is one of the
best fisheries in the world and we
have to take care of it. Mother
Nature will do her part, but we
have to gjyvehera hand." -

At the most recent college foot-
ball signing celebration Coach Ron
Dunbar started by saying, "We are
honored to be congratulating these
two fine young men as they have
chosen to continue on with their
educations and proud that they)
have taken the next step." Each of
the two young men that signed last
week had been three year starters
and great leaders for their team, he
said. Coach Dunbar works hard to
encourage all his players to take
the opportunities available to
them.
J.B. Hull will be headed to Cul-
ver Stockton College, in Canlon,
Mo., just 30 miles north of Hanni-
bal and Mark Twain country. Culver
Stockton was founded in 1853 and
is a private four-year residential col-
lege community affiliated with the
Disciples of Christ Christian
Church. Students may choose
among 27 academic programs. It is
situated on 140 acres of rolling
countryside overlooking the Missis-
sippi River.
A defensive tackle, J.B. weighs
in at 235 pounds and is six fool-tvo
inches tall. He carries a 3.3 Grade
Point Average and plans to study
business administration. J.B. stated
that he could not have done it with-
out all Coach Dunbar's help. He
also said he appreciates him and
the rest of the coaching stall.
Coach Dunbar remarked that J.B
was the best long snapper that the
LaBelle High School has ever seen,
with only one miss in three years,
and that occurred during a rainy
game.
The Culver Stockton Wildcats
will play their first football game of
the 2006 season against Linden-
wood University on September 2.
Lindenwood is the chosen school
of another LHS football teammate,
Austin Clayton.
Matty (Matthew) Bell has cho-
sen LaGrange College, a small
1,000 student College in LaGrange,
Georgia. The college was built in
1831 and is the oldest private col-
lege in the state. The school is situ-
ated on 120 acres, 65 miles south-
west of Atlanta and 40 miles from
Auburn. LaGrange College is affili-
ated with the United Methodist
Church.
Mattywill have the distinction of
being on the first team ever playing
football for LaGrange, a Division III
school. The football program was
added to the athletic program just
this year. LaGrange also recently
built a $3.5 million, 18,000-foot
addition to the Callaway Education
Building, which houses the brand
new state-of-the-art locker rooms,
athletic training room, equipment
room, coaches' offices and weight
room. They also have a new prac-
tice field.
Matty, however, was selected by
the Panthers for his academic
achievements and received an aca-
demic scholarship to LaGrange. At

Brought to you by

Lori Langford
Here is one prediction you can make forI
Ithe 2006 major league season based on I
This statistic. With the exception of the I
I strike-shortened campaigns of 1994 and I
I 1995, at least one bigleague pitcher has I
I notched 20 wins for the first time in I
I every year since 1983 21 full seasons in I
Ia row. So who could it be in 2006? I
I Here's a statistic that might help. Of the I
I 62 pitchers to win 20 games for the first I
I time during the span, 33 of them that's I
I 53 per cent were between 23 and 29 I
years of age.

SMilwaukee Brewers second baseman
Rickie Weeks was called up to the big
leagues on June 10, 2005. Two weeks
later, on June 25, Weeks hit his first
major league home run. Fellow Brewer
Prince Fielder also went deep in that.
game against the Minnesota Twins.
Fielder was also a rookie, and it was also
his first major league long ball. Two
rookies, two teammates, two first-time
home runs on the same day. That's coin-
cidence enough, but get this: Weeks
and Fielder have been close friends since
I- -
childhood.

The revitalized National Hockey League
has come back strong from the 2004-05
season that was wiped out by a labor
dispute. Everything was up in 2005-06
attendance, scoring, even the caliber of
rookies, with Pittsburgh's Sidney
Crosby and Washington's Alexander
IOvechkin leading the way. Both are by
Sfar the top goal scorers on their teams,
Ibut neither is likely to break the record
Sfor the differential between one team's
I top goal scorer and its number two.
SDurin the 1990-91 season, Brett Hull
netted 86 goals, with St. Louis team-
mrate Geot Courtnall next at 27 an
incredible differential of 59.

I I'll bet you didn't know, coming or
I going, that when the rubber hits the
I road, you can't afford not to buy from I

homesites in the secluded
Caloosa Shores located three
miles west of LaBelle off CR 78.
This gated community consists
of high ground (20 feet elevation),
panoramicviews, one-hall mile of
river frontage and 1,500 feet bor-
dering the scenic Bee Branch
Creek. There are nineteen large
homesites ranging from 1 to 3:5
acres. Fifteen sites front on-the
river and four sites touch Bee
Branch Creek.
The creek is suitable for small
boats and the riverfront has deep
water suitable for motor yachts
and sailboats. Waterfront pricing
starts in the mid $400,000 range.
Please drive out and take a look.
Call 239-728-5481 for more infor-
mation. Jim would like to thank
the Hendry County people and
organizations that have assisted in
the project.

Project Graduation,


a senior tradition


Project Graduation is an all-
night senior celebration that has
taken place at LaBelle High School
since 1989. This drug and alcohol-
free event will again be held at LHS
the evening of graduation on May
20 and serves as a positive alterna-
tive to circumstances that could
threaten the bright futures of our
graduates.
The night will be celebrated
with games, activities, a mock casi-
no; music, food and lots of prizes.
With over 90 percent of the gradu-
ates participating, attendance is
expected to swell to over 300, not
counting chaperones. Each gradu-
ating senior is invited and allowed
one high school-age guest. All
guests must be registered with the
school administration ahead of
time. All the fun and prizes serve to
encourage the party-goers to stay
for the entire event which ends at
5:00 a.m. Prizes are given to sen-
iors and they must be present to
win. Once a senior leaves, his or
her guest must leave at the same
time and neither can return to the
party.
This incredible project is only
possible as a result of the commu-
nity-wide generosity of time and
money on the part of parents, indi-
viduals, teachers, administrators,
businesses and service organiza-
tions. Thousands of hours are vol-
unteered and thousands of dollars
are raised, all in a coordinated
effort to provide this opportunity to
say to our graduates, "We are


proud of you and we want you to
be safe!"
This year's celebration is still
being planned and organized. Vol-
unteers and chaperones are still
needed. The fundraising goals
have not been met. It's not too late
to get involved in making this
year's Project Graduation the best
ever for the Class of 2006. Upcom-
ing meeting dates are April 24, May
8 and May 15 and are held at LHS at
7 p.m. in the library or cafeteria.
All are invited to attend, especially
senior parents.
If you would like to donate your
time or money, call LHS at 674-
4120 or Lois Smith at 673-3190. If
you would like to assist with the
food committee or would like to
donate money for the purchase or
preparation of food, call Anita
Lozano at 675-4217.
Contributions can also be
mailed to: LHS PROJECT GRADU-
ATION, 4050 Cowboy Way,
LaBelle, FL 33935.

Marcha apoya
a trabajadores
Muchos residents jovenes
de La belle han apoyado la
causa de los derechos de los
emigrantes. El debate national
de que America debe de tratar a
los indocumentados como crim-
inales ha hecho que todos los
latinos protesten y defiendan sus
derechos. Esta situation inspire
a Felipe Delgado quien organize
una march de protest con
estudiantes de La Preparatoria el
martes pasado. Ellos caminaron
de Winn-Dixie a La Preparatoria
en una march pacifica que fue
custodiada por el Oficial Ferna-
do Herrera, hasta el Alguacil
Ronnie Lee march con los
estudiantes.
Felipe dijo que el estuvo en la
march de Fort Myers el lunes 10
de abril done asistieron mas de
75.000 personas y que eso lo
inspire a organizer su propia
march con los estudiantes de la
escuela. "La march en Fort
Myers fue algo maravilloso,
todos estuvimos unidos como
una sola comunidad...Por eso
es muy important para mi
hablar por aquellos que no
pueden."
Cindy Munos de edad 17
nacio y crecio aqui, ella viene de
una familiar de emigrantes y cree
en los derechos de ellos para
quedarse y trabajar en este Pais.
Ella tambien form part de la
march grande el lunes. "Fue
muy bonito apoyar a los Mexi-
canos."
Algunos estudiantes que son
norteamericanos piensan que
no deben de permitir ilegales
aqui mientras que los hijos de
los emigrantes Hispanos dicen
que lo unico que quieren sus
padres es darles una buena edu-
cacion, por eso trabajan bien
duro ganando el pago minimo.


El sacerdote de. la iglesia
catolica Giovanni Bautista quien
es native de La Republica
Dominicana, dijo que el se
siente comfortable aqui porque
tiene a toda su familia. Su madre
y sus hermanos ya son ciu-
dadanos norteamericanos, el ha
estado en este pais por cuatro


anos y espera naturalizarse en
dos o tres anos mas. Muchos de
los emigrantes que el conoce
tienen dificultades para tener
sus licencias de conducir y
seguros. Ellos trabajan duro por
salaries minimos y los costs de
salud cada vez son mas cars. El
Padre Giovanni quiere que la ley

Florida Community Bank keeps on giving


Pet of the Week
After checking out water bowls in the. garage and
kitchen, and getting chased out of the bathroom's "huge"
water bowl, Chester Kitty ended up sitting in'the kitchen
sink meowing pitifully for the water to be turned on.
Chester makes his home at Cindy Miller's house. If you
would like to submit a pet photo for consideration for
publication in the Caloosa Belle please e-mail a 5 inch
jpeg digital photo with a high resolution to: Donna Meis-
ter at cbnewsrm@strato.net, or drop off a photo to the
Caloosa Belle, or mail to the Caloosa Belle, PO. Box 518,
LaBelle, FL. 33975. Photos may be picked up at the
Caloosa Belle office during working hours. We need your
name, phone number (in case we have any questions),
pets name, age, breed of pet and a caption. We are look-
ing for something silly, fun, unusual or thought provok-
ing. Sorry, we are not just looking for a really cute animal
photo and definitely nothing cruel or harmful. No pic-
tures printed on your home computer can be accepted.

officers earn CDL


Fri., Apr. 7, Lieutenant Pam
Steelman and Officers A.J. May-
nard and John Wilke traveled to
Sarasota and took a driving test
for the CDL license. In order to
pass the test administered by the
Division of Driver Licenses, they
had to drive a 55-foot
tractor/trailer truck on the public
roads in the Sarasota area. All
participants passed the test and
received the license. The officers
are now licensed to tow a 45-
foot 'trailer for transporting
equipment to disaster areas.


On Sunday, April 9, officers
were working road hunting in an
area south of LaBelle and
observed a pickup truck pull to
the side of the road. She
watched as the driver swept litter
from the bed of the truck. Lieu-
tenant Steelman performed a
traffic stop on the vehicle and
observed that the 17-year-old
operator was very intoxicated.
The operator was unable to per-
form field .sobriety tests and
blew a 1.78 at the Hendry Coun-
ty Jail.


Assistant Vice President and
Branch Manager Susan Williams
of Florida Community Bank
hands over a $2,000 donation
check to Bryan Beer who is rep-
resenting the Community Christ-
ian School ot LaBelle, Inc. Flori-
da Community Bank has been a
gracious benefactor for many
educational causes over the
years.
For several years the Commu-
nity Christian School has given
the parents of local children
another choice beyond the pub-
lic school system. The school
provides an excellent education
along \ith teaching Chlistian'
ethics without receiving any gov-
ernmental funds whatsoever.
The school depends on student's
tuition and donations from pri-


xate and public sectors to keep it
afloat
At this time the school starts
at. the kindergarten level and
goes through to the 8th grade.
The goal is to some day
include high school grades.
Community Christian School
also runs a quality day care pro-
gram. Presently, the school is
adding more classrooms and
enlarging the parking lot. A gy m-
nasium is also in plans lor the
future ,our gift to the Communi-
tv Chiiistian School would be a
gift that keeps on gi% ing.
If you would like to con-
tribute to this most worthy
cause, please contact Principal
Sammy Co at the Community
Christian School at 675-3277.,

Bonita Bay Group to receive business award


The Bonita Bav Group has
been selected to receive the
Florida Department of Education
Commissioner's Business
Recognition Award, part of the
19th annual statewide program
to honor businesses throughout
the state that have shown an out-
standing commitment to
improving education by partner-
ing with area schools.
The award, cosponsored by
the Florida Education Founda-
tion, will be presented to Mitch
Hutchcraft, regional vice presi-
dent of The Bonita Bay Group,
April 20.in Daytona Beach by
Commissioner of Education
John L. Winn.
The Bonita Bay Group will be
recognized for supporting Take
Stock in Children scholarships,
facilities beautification and fund-
ing in-classroom grants.
Last year the company
awarded $27,500 in project
grants to Alva Elementary, Boni-
ta Springs Elementary, Bonita
Springs Charter School,
Pinewoods Elementary, Spring


Creek Elementary, Trafalgar Ele-
Srentar\, Alva Middle,. Bonita
Springs Middle, Trafalgar Middle,
and Estero High and Riverdale
High schools. In addition to the
grants, which help schools pro-
vide programs not funded by
school budgets, the company
also awarded an additional
$33,612 to be distributed among
the 11 schools on a $3 per stu-
dent basis, to reimburse teach-
ers for supplies and materials
they purchase for students.
"The Bonita Bay Group has a
history of supporting our local
school districts," said Hutch-
craft. "Our total contributions
through the school grant pro-
gram total over $360,000."
LaBelle High School also ben-
efited from The Bonita Bay
Group's commitment to educa-
tion. Under the direction of
Hutchcraft, the company created
a landscape plan for the high
school that included identifying
business partners to assist in the
undertaking. The Bonita Bay
Group provided staff, helped


underwrite the cost of plants and
materials and worked with the
team of volunteers in the effort
to bring the landscape plan to
life.
"This landscaping project
was a dream come true for Prin-
cipal Paul Puletti," said Thomas
Conner, superintendent of Henry
County Schools. "The Bonita
Bay Group is to be commended
for their ability to unite the pub-
lic and private sectors for this
worthwhile project, which is
why I nominated this outstand-
ing community partner for the
Commissioner's Business
Recognition Award."
The Bonita Bay Group is a
diversified company involved in
the planning, development,


sales and management of mas-
ter-planned communities, free-
standing recreational amenities
and commercial facilities
throughout Southwest Florida.

commitment to meticulous
planning, environmental stew-
ardship, integrity and attention
to detail. The Bonita Bay Group

viduals and is currently develop-
ing seven master-planned com-
munities Bonita Bay, Shadow
