Three victims lost their lives
in a traffic crash this past week-,
end on SR 80 in Alva. The crash
occurred at 12:37 p.m. Sunday,
April 23. According to the Flori-
da Highway Patrol, Luis Miguel
Compos and Roberto Compos,
ages unknown, died at the
scdne. A third, victim, Maria
Montero, reportedly died Mon-
day at Lee Memorial Hospital.
The driver and four other pas-


It was the first trip out of the
States for most of the young
people who headed to Costa
Rica on a mission trip last
month. Thirteen people, includ-
ing six youth, from Carlson
Memorial United Methodist
Church experienced one of the
most memorable trips of their
lives as they shared their beliefs
with some of the world's poor-
est residents.
From March 19-26 the mis-
sionaries from high school age
to 80+ years of age went on the
trip with Pura Vida Missions,
holding Bible camps for kids
twice daily morning and after-
noon at two locations in San
Ramon, Costa Rica. Living and
working in the Third World
neighborhood called Pastoral
was an eye-opener for the little
party. They also had an opportu-
nity to work at an orphanage
and at a community center.
Much of the time they played
g
ames like soccer and Duck
Duck Goose, and played music
while offering their Christian
message. Many of the mission-


sengers in the vehicle were hos-
pitalized; a six-month old infant
has been released. The victims
were members of one LaBelle
family living on Betty Street.
FPH reports that Alva resi-
dent Robert A Casey, 18, was
traveling northbound on Styles
Road, approaching a red flash-
ing traffic signal at SR 80 in a
2000 Saturn. Pedro Dominguez
Azuara, 28, was driving a 2001


Ford utility truck eastbound on
SR 80. FHP reports that the
Casey vehicle entered the inter-
section without stopping for the
red flashing light and struck the
Azuara vehicle's right side. Mr.
Azuara lost control and the
truck moved,toward the south
shoulder, rotated counter clock-
wise before overturning twice.
The Casey vehicle came to a
final rest facing north on Styles


Road; the Azuara vehicle ended
up facing north on the south
shoulder of SR 80.
Mr. Azuara sustained critical
injuries. In the Azuara vehicle,
only Alejandro Ramirez was a
wearing seatbelt. He sustained
serious injuries. Other passen-
gers included Maria Montero,
who was in critical condition
when hospitalized; Jesus
Dominguez. serious; Joahana


Dominguez, serious.
Mr. Casey was uninjured in
the crash. All the injured were
transported to Lee Memorial
Hospital.
The crash occurred on a sec-
tion of SR 80 recently reopened
to traffic. Alcohol was apparent-
ly not a factor in the collision.
FHP continues to investigate
the crash.


River on edge


By Patty Brant

Recently designated as one
of the top endangered rivers in
the country, the Caloosahatch-
ee River is in trouble. Locals
.who kno\\ the river intimate.
have been pushing for this for a
long time.
The Caloosahatchee River
Citizens Association, known as
Riverwatch, has been warning
of the decline of the river for ten
years.
LaBelle native Scott Perry
probably spends as much dr
more time on the river than
anyone else has for years. His
love for the river was kindled
when he was just a boy, enam-
ored of fossils the ancient
messages left in its banks. He
has amassed a large collection
of those messages and has
been passing that love along to
others through a summertime
fossil camp.
Scott said the river's trou-
bles begin to the north, as nutri-
ent-laden rains flow into it from
the north watershed. Nutrient


concentrations create "dead
zones" that are not easy to fix
and result in blue green algae
blooms in the summer. Nitro-
gen sucks up the oxygen from
the water, eventually killing fish
and aquatic life. Lake Trafford
in Immokalee has suffered
from a similar issue.
Just a few months ago the
restoration of
Oxbow #24 in Fort Denaud
provided a showcase for a
healthy river with native plants,
aquatic and shore plants. The
oxbow diminishes the destruc-
tion of wakes from large boats
and' keeps fish beds vital, Scott
points out. A second oxbow
restoration effort is being
planrnedl. Restoring the oxbows
will help, Scott said, but what
will really fix the river is another
drainage route an additional
watershed area to clean up
nutrients b-elort the water gets

aries spoke little Spanish. The
Martinsons provided translation
said CUMC Youth and Children's
Pastor Jesse Kroll who led the
group. One of the "extras" they
got from the trip was a marked
improvement in their Spanish.
Jesse said the church has
previously done Bible camps in
the US only. Last year they went
to a migrant housing project in


Tampa and were exposed to a
completely different culture.
The trip to Costa Rica deepened
that understanding and taught
them more about how to "Latin
up" (a play on words from
"lighten up."
They found that human
nature is the same everywhere,

See Trip -Page 2


The City of LaBelle has
passed Phase II mandatory
water use restrictions. The
action was taken at the April 13
city commission meeting.
Water usage has pushed the
city's water plant to near
capacity in recent weeks. The
board made the decision to
ensure that sufficient water is
available for all city water cus-
tomers.
City residents with odd
numbered addresses (ending
in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) may water out-
side on Wednesdays and Satur-
days from 4-8 a.m.
City water residents with
even numbered addresses


(ending in 2, 4, 6, 8, 0) may
water outside on Thursdays
and Sundays from 4-8 a.m.
Hand watering with one
hose and /or an automatic
shutoff nozzle is allowed.from
5-7 p.m. on the same days. All
wasteful and unnecessary
water use is prohibited.
Under these restrictions,
residents may wash cars, boats
and other equipment between
4-8a.m. and 5-7 p.m. on their
landscape watering days.
Washing must be done on, or
must drain to, a non-paved sur-
face that permits water to soak

So, how healthy are you?


It's time for the Fourth Annual
"Women + Wellness = Win-
ning" Women's Health Fair!
Join the staff on Thursday,
May 4, from 4 until 7 p.m. at the
health department, 1140 Pratt
Boulevard, LaBelle. Free screen-
ings will be offered for choles-
terol, body fat analysis, blood
pressure, glucose, hemoglobin
and bone density. Heart to Heart,
School Health, Opening Doors,
Healthy Families and Healthy
Start from the health depart-
ment; Hendry Regional Medical
Center; Hendry Glades Behav-
ioral Health; United Way; Hope
Hospice; Senior Connections;
Hendry County Sheriff's Depart-
ment; Tru Image Fitness; Family
Health Center and Curves are
among the providers that will
provide information on staying
healthy.
The purpose of the free health
fair is to raise awareness of the
steps women can take to
improve their health. Women are
often so busy with the needs of


others they do not take the time
to focus on their own health
needs. When women take even
the simplest steps to improve
their health, the results can be
significant. Heart disease is the
number one killer of women.
Are you aware of the signs of a
heart attack or stroke? Are you at
risk for diabetes? Do you know
the symptoms of diabetes or
what pre-diabetes is? Do you
know your cholesterol and blood
pressure numbers? Do you get
regular physical activity?
If there was a "magic pill" for
health it would be physical activi-
ty. Yet most people in Hendry
County do not make it a priority
in their lives. The fair will offer
information on Hendry County
on the Move and WOMAN-
Women On the Move Across the
Nation.
Both are fun ways to become
more active and even receive a
free pedometer to help inspire
you to take more steps! Make a
commitment to yourself to be


more active and to eat at least five
servings of fruits and vegetables
daily. Get regular checkups and
screenings. Be safe and protect
yourself. Come to the health fair
for ideas on lifestyle changes you
can start making to get healthier!
The fair will offer computer
access to information and short
quizzes on health on topics
including body mass index, find-
ing your ideal weight and how
many calories you need daily to
maintain, lose or gain weight. Try
Freeze Frame to see how your
stress level is can you make the
flowers bloom and the rainbow
appear?
The Fourth Annual Women +
Wellness = Winning will provide
women with exhibits, screen-
ings, snacks, giveaways and door
prize drawings and a fun time.
Please plan to join in the celebra-
tion of health and wellness. For
more information call 674-4041

added that money coming from
the federal government to state
and local governments is being
used to do things that will result in
even more development, adding,
"I don't see the true Everglades
restoration happening."
Scott says he has seen a dis-
tinct difference in the river over
20-some years. It started when he
returned from college and
noticed that there not nearly the
number of schools of mullet in
the river as before. Then more
exotics came in, creating mono-
cultures and killing off native veg-
etation underneath, which affects
wildlife. Even when species like
Brazilian Pepper are uprooted, it
leaves the bank bare and subject
to erosion.
There are examples of good
management along the river.
Scott points to Port LaBelle Mari-
na as an example of good water-
flow with low pesticide use and
native vegetation.

but that the Costa Ricans seemed
to put more emphasis on relation-
ships and the simple things in life.
The group enjoyed the trip so
much, and feels that so much was
accomplished, they plan a similar
Bible camp at Mira Verde July 10-
13 this summer from 9 a.m. till
noon.
The young people who took
part in this trip were: Kenny and
Anna Martinson, Alex Smith,
David Phillips, Jessica Backes and
Drew Dyess.
This was Alex Smith's first mis-
sion trip and.his first time leaving
the States. The experience was
better than he expected and he
said they did more than he
thought possible. None of it
seemed like work to him, though.
His biggest surprise was seeing
how the people live there.
Although there is natural beauty
all around them, they live in dirt,
crammed into tiny houses that all
look the same.
He said they also met up with


The best thing that could hap-
pen would be to clean up the
water before it gets to the lake, he
says. Dropping the water level in
the lake is not enough; it's still too
high and will continue the "flush-
ing" effect downriver to the estu-
ary a shock event every time for
the environment. The river needs
to flow cleaner and slower, he
cautions.
Mayor of LaBelle Randy
Bengston: "The river is rot as
clear as it used to be. A lot of peo-
ple are staying away from the
river. Thus we. need a long-term
solution. The river is our patient;
our river is dying unless we treat it
in a sustainable manner."
Help is on the way. According
to the Calooshatchee River Citi-
zens Association Web site, Best
Management Practices (
BMPs) implemented on EAA
sugarcane farms have reduced
the amount of pollution from
these areas and have this year
come to the Caloosahatchee
River Basin citrus industry. BMPs
include environmentally sustain-,
able farming methods that
encourage the conservation of
nutrients and water.


water users: Private well are
included in these restrictions.
There are prescribed penal-
ties for violators: First offense:
$25; second offence: $50; third
offense: $75; fourth and subse-
quent offense: $500.

Test cells for the C-43 Reservoir
just west of LaBelle are being built
now. The reservoir itself is sup-
posed to hold water, preventing
the onslaught of water rushing to
the estuary. However, not every-
one agrees that it will be able to
do the job its intended to do.
The folks at local marinas,
however, are not convinced that
the river is in such bad shape.
Wayne and Dolly Brown have
owned and operated Belle Hatch-
ee Marina for.23 years since
1983. They say they have more
boats coming through every year
and have not noticed any slow-
down. They say they've heard no
complaints from the boaters but
feel that more development will
bring more problems with the
river.
Port LaBelle Marina's dock-
master Joe Crunk has been there
for 28 years; 30 years on river. He
says tannic acid from roots causes
the water coloration. The marina
is currently constructing an addi-
tional 100 slips. Joe is required to

the approved standards.
Joe says he notices more
debris coming down the river dur-

and the current speeds up. He
also said the water is clearer in the
winter and decomposing vegeta-

mer.

He also said they did more than
he expected. He.was surprised at
how loving the local people were
and amazed at how willing to give
what little they have. On the sec-
ond or third day there he and Alex
were playing \ ith the little kids,
squirting water and, naturally, got
dirty. He pulled off a new shirt and
gave it to one of the kids to wash
and to keep, not thinking anything
about it. The next day the boy's
father came and brought his son's
soccer jersey from when he was
about five years old (he's 13 now).
It was signed by all the kids.
David pointed out that the
Costa Rican kids were better soc-
cer players because they play it all
the time.

senior at LHS. He plans to attend
EC then UCF to study computer

GOLF CARTS NO PROBLEM FOR ANYBODY: This message is for
Patty Brant. I was surprised to hear you are so against golf carts. I
haven't heard of any golf cart accidents. You ran another article about
golf carts on the front page of the April 13 issue stating that they are not
legal to drive on the street. I don't see why they're a problem for any-
body.

HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?: Somebody wondered how anybody
could embezzle $60,000 from the clerk's office. They changed
accounting offices, that's how these things happen.

I want to share a true story with
you. The facts are true. The names
are intentionally wrong. None of
the people live in this area. It hap-
pened a long time ago.
Charles was 66 years old. He
was recently widowed. He had
retired from the railroad industry.
He owned a home with no mort-
gage, had a boat and he loved to
fish. He had a good pension plus
social security, some securities,and
three paid-up life insurance poli-
cies; He also had three grown chil-
dren that he loved, and they lived
up north. Charles had some health
problems. He was lonely and
missed his wife. He had one single
male friend that he fished with
often.
Ilene was 44 years old and had
never been married, and she had
no children. Unfortunately, she
was in very bad health. She had
several heart attacks and she was a
heavy smoker. She had a disability
pension.
After Charles became wid-
owed, he met Ilene. Eventually,
they fell in love and got married. It
was more than just a marriage of
convenience. They were very

happy and very much in love.
Charles asked me to change the
beneficiary on his life policies to his
newwife. Ilene, coincidentally, had
a small endowment policy with the
same insurance company and she
asked me to get Charles named on
her policy. It was at this time when I
did a financial review with both of
them and pointed out lots of prob-
lems.
Charles had put his home in
joint tenancy with Ilene. Neither
one had a will or trust. I tried to
convince them to go to an attorney
and get wills drawn, but they didn't
do it. Ilene said something like this:
"My doctor told me that if I don't
quit smoking, my next heart attack
will be my last. I don't want to live
without Charles, so I am going to

that were being sent to God.
A second room opened up
with even more angels frantically
packaging up for delivery the
responses to the unending stream
of blessings and graces requested
of God..
Our steps continued until we
entered a room small enough to
contain only two angels, who
were engaged only in prayer, as
this was the "Acknowledgement
Room" where the recipients of
prayer requests could acknowl-
edge the receipt of the answers to
their prayers.
This is where that often scarce
commodity called "thanks" given
back to God for our many bless-
ings would assure our continued
blessings being granted.
All too often we take for grant-
ed our freedom and our standards
of living.
If you have food, clothes on
your back, a roof over your head
and a place to sleep, you are better
off than 75 percent of this \\orld
If you have mone\ in the bank,
in your wallet and spare change in
a dish, you are among the top 8
percent of the world's wealthy. If
you woke up this morning
healthy, you ar more blessed than
the many who wlll not survive this
day. If you have never experienced
the fear of battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of tor-
ture or the pangs of starvation;
you are better off than 700 million
people across this globe.
If you can attend a public or
church meeting without the fear
of reprisal, arrest, torture or death,
you are envied by, and more
blessed than three billion people
in the world.
With the trust that comes from
caring, I trust that all your feelings,
negative or positive, can be,
regardless of your religious or
non-religious beliefs, better under-
stood and accepted.
And don't forget, unlike a hand
shake, a hug is fully returnable.

Joke of

the week


Some fun thoughts...
Only in America do drug-
stores make the sick walk all the
way to the back of the store to
get their prescriptions while
healthy people can buy ciga-
rettes at the front.
Only in America do people
order double cheeseburgers,
large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America do banks
leave both doors open and then
chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America do we leave
cars worth thousands of dollars
in the driveway and put our use-
less junk in the garage.
Only in America do we buy
hot dogs in packages of ten and
buns in packages of eight.
Only in America do we use
the word 'politics' to describe
the process so well: 'Poli' in
Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics'
meaning 'bloodsucking crea-
tutes'.
Only in America do they have
drive-up ATM machines with
Braille lettering.
EVERWONDER.....

keep smoking and I will die first.
Then his children will inherit every-
thing. Besides, if Charles did die
before me, I would leave every-
thing to them, as they are my only
family."
Some time later, Charles died. I
filed the insurance papers for Ilene
and she got the insurance money.
Rather soon thereafter, something
strange happened. The man that
was Charles' friend came into my
office to pick up a beneficiary
change form so he could get his
name listed as beneficiary on
llene's endowment policy. He had
just married her! Needless to say, I
was shocked. I called Ilene and
asked if I should give this man the
form and she said yes. I reminded
her about the three children from
Charles' first marriage, and I asked
if she had made a will and she said
no. I suggested she do that as soon
as possible, but I knew she wasn't
listening. How unfortunate.
A little over a year later, Ilene's
new husband, Charles' so-called
friend, came back into my office to
pick ip a beneficiary claim form.
Ilene had died of another heart
attack. The man made a "sick'"


comment. He said to me: "I got
everything; I got all the old man's
money, (they were about the same
age, but that is what he said), I got
the house, and I even got his boat."
I asked himt if he was going to give
any of it to the children up north,
and he said: "I probably would
have, but now I don't know. They
hired an attorney, so I might not
give them anything."
It is hard.to believe that intelli-
gent people, Charles and Ilene,
could allow such a nightmare to
happen with a nice estate, but it
did. It wasn't intentional, nor with-
out forethought. It happened
because they would not take the
time and relatively small expense,
to get with an attorney. It could
have been such that Ilene lived in
the marital house for the rest of her
life, had plenty of income and at
her death the assets passed to
Charles' children. Instead, every-
thing Charles and his firstwife, plus
Ilene, accumulated ended up in the
hands of a charlatan. The names
were changed; the facts were real.
Complete your financial planning,
and protect the ones you love.

Being an educator, would you say that kids have changed
over the years in the public school system?

Jean Harrison Smith,
U teacher for 28 years said, "I
SB certainly see the maturity
level change here at the
;, high school from the middle
I 'i school. I see more goal set-
ting."

Roberta Riberty, teacher for
27 years said, "I think kids
are basically about the
same. I do see a lot of dif-
ference from ninth to tenth
graders. There is a lot of .
growing up going on. Some
kids act out more at school
than home and vise versa."


Bobbie Spratt, teacher/coun-
selor for 32 years said, "Kids are
still good. I love my job. Thank
God we have kids! The kids are
trying to bring me up to date
technologically."


Jen Fotta, teacher for two years
said, "I think the kids have more
pressures and stress. They have
FCAT concerns that we never
had."

This information is part of a
series on Pandemic Influenza
provided by The Hendry and
Glades County Health Depart-.
ments. The series will cover
basic information and actions to
be taken if Pandemic Flu
becomes a realistic threat to the
citizens of Hendry and Glades
County. This is the fourth article
in the series.
For the past few weeks we
have been discussing Avian Flu
,and steps that can be to taken to
prepare in the event of a pan-
demic flu. Dr. Fernandez, Direc-
tor for Hendry and Glades Health
Department, has encouraged cit-
izens of Hendry and Glades
Counties to prepare a disaster
kit. The supplies can also be
used to be prepared for hurri-
cane season. Dr. Fernandez has
recommended stocking up on
prescription medicines, prepar-
ing a family emergency plan,
and purchasing several non per-
ishable food items each week.
What is Avian Influenza?
Bird Flu is a virus that affects-
birds. Avian Influenza does not
usually infect people, but infec-
tions with these viruses have
occurred in humans. The possi-
bility of a human being infected
is rare and usually involves
touching a sick or dead bird that
carried the virus, handling infect-
ed birds, or touching surfaces
contaminated by sick birds or
their droppings.
What is an epidemic?
An epidemic is a widespread
outbreak of disease.
What is a pandemic?
A pandemic is an epidemic
(widespread outbreak) that
affects the world. Pandemic flu
is a global disease outbreak that
occurs when a new influenza
virus appears that causes serious
illness. People have little or no
immunity to the new virus and it'
can spread easily from person to
person.. Currently there is no
pandemic flu.
What causes a pandemic?
A pandemic starts when
three things happen:
A new influenza virus sub-
type emerges
It infects humans, causing
them to be seriously ill
It spreads easily and rapidly
from human to human.
Experts are concerned

because the first two conditions
have already been met. The
H5N1 is a new virus for which
humans have no immunity. It
has infected over 194 people in
which half died, which means it
is a particularly virulent (potent)
disease. As the disease spreads,
there are more opportunities for
the virus to mutate (change) into
a strain that is easily transmissi-
ble between people.
What happens in a pandem-
ic? What could I expect to see?
There would 'be warning
signs. Possible signs might
include:
Clusters of patients with
avian flu symptoms in different
parts of the country.
Health workers caring for
these patients would start to
show the same symptoms, indi-
cating that the third criteria for a
pandemic had been met: per-
son to person transmission was
taking place.
Because the flu can be
transmitted by coughing or
sneezing even before a person
knows they are sick, avian
influenza would spread rapidly
because of travel and transmis-
sion due to close proximity.
Hospitals could be over-
whelmed by the number of peo-
ple seeking care, and there may
be high rates of worker absen-
teeism which could interrupt the
flow of. services such as police,
fire, and rescue.
Transportation and, com-
munications could suffer if there
was a quarantine order; and
leisure activities would be dis-
couraged thereby affecting the
economy.
Medicine and medical
equipment might be in short
supply..
*'Pandemics can last 6-24
months.
More information will be pro-
\vided next week, but remember
that the best defense against any
infection is proper hand-wash-
ing. Dr. Fernandez states, "Our
community should use this time
to prepare, not panic, and
remember that the goal of the
Hendry and Glades County
Health Departments is to keep
our community well informed."

This is last weekend to 'see Stars'


Chasing your dreams that's
vhat the Firehouse Cultural Cen-
ter's last play of the season is all
about. Follow Clemmie (Barbara
Brandenburg) as she finally gathers
up the courage to take the last ten-
tative steps toward her dream -
becoming "immortal" on the Big
Screen with Hollywood greats like
Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth
Taylor.
Poor Clemmie almost backs out
time and time again, as her friends
Tootie (the outspoken newspaper
woman played by Jo Coombs),
Glease (the customer with a secret
played by Mike Shough) and Jo
Beth (the good-hearted prima
donna wannabe played by Emily


Ankney) prod, joke and cajole her
into finally taking a stab at her goal.
Of course, nothing's that easy,
and the uppity society matron Mar-
jorie (played by Suzanne Hardee
Hubbart) stands in the way of
Clemmie and her dream. Even Eliz-
abeth Taylor (played by Kourtney
Kelting) makes an appearance.
Seeing Stars in Dixie continues
at the Firehouse Cultural Center,
241 N. Bridge Street, on Friday, April
28, Saturday, April 29 at 7 p.m. and
Sunday, April 30, at 2 p.m. Reserva-
tions may be made by calling (863)

Cowgirls lose champion hopes


Fall to
Golden Eagles, 6-5

The Cowgirls softball team
entered the district tournament
as the number one seed but after
winning the first two games by a
37-1 margin, they fell in the
championship game to
Riverdale High School. Despite
the loss the Cowgirls are still
alive, but will now have to travel
in order to continue toward their
goal of a state title. That first
game will be this week as they
travel to Naples.
In their first game of the tour-
nament they raced past Dunbar
High School by a lopsided 31-1


margininn which just about
everyone on the team got to see
some action. From there, they
played Estero.
Coming into that game
LaBelle wanted to avenge an
earlier loss, their only district loss
of the year. Coach Marroquin
said the team was excited about
facing Estero.
The team didn't take long to
jump on the Wildcats, either.
Amanda Atun swept past the
first three batters in a one, two,
three inning, something she did
again in. the third and sixth
inning as well. LaBelle then took
to the offensive.
Blake Rice opened the game
with a single and was moved to


second on a sacrifice bunt off the
bat of Cori Ankney. Ankney,
however, reached base when
Estero committed an error on
the play. Two batters later
Heather Raulerson singled in
Rice for the early lead.
LaBelle managed another run
in the top of the first when a sec-
ond Estero error led to Ankney
scoring. The 2-0 lead was all that
LaBelle would need the rest of
the way, but they weren't done
quite yet.
LaBelle managed to score
two more in the fourth and then
one in each the fifth and sixth
inning to get the 6-0 shutout.
Atun finished the game with
three strikeouts and a walk while


allowing five hits.
LaBelle wouldn't be so lucky
in the championship game as
they faced Riverdale which had a
score to settle with the Cowgirls.
Riverdale used an earlier loss to
LaBelle as motivation as they
were able to get past the Cow-
girls 4-0.
LaBelle wasn't able to get
anything going for themselves as
the Riverdale pitcher kept them
off balance all night long. There
was also a delay due to lightning
that didn't help LaBelle as they
were trying to overcome an early
2-0 deficit.
The Cowgirls fell to the
Naples Golden Eagles Tuesday
night, finishing the season 21-8.


Morris competes at regionals


On Tuesday, April 11, the
LaBelle High School girl's track
team traveled to Golden Gate
High School Naplek for the Dis-
trict 12 track .ret. This track
meet brings tether all of the
member schools in district 12 for
their annual track and field com-
petition. This is the first stop on
the road to the state champi-
onship finals in Jacksonville.
Brooke Morris was the star
athlete for LaBelle, as she was
second in the 800-meter run and
advanced to regional competi-
tion at Tampa Berkeley Prep on
April 20. She is the only member
of the LHS girl's team to advance.
Brooke was also a member of the
fifth place finishing girl's 1600-
meter, relay team. Only the top


four teams go, so this group bare-
ly missed advancing in this event.
This team is made up of Brooke',
Chelsa Causseaux, Jordan Walls
and Jania Thompson. Also earn-
ing points for Ithe LHS team was
the girl's 400-meter relay team
whose members included Brook,
Jania Thompson, Brittany Galle-
gos and Chelsa Causseaux.
On April 7, LaBelle High
School hosted its annual Cowboy
Invitational Track Meet. Six area
high schools joined your host
Cowboy track team for a great,
afternoon of track and field com-
petition. Over 150 athletes, repre-
senting some of the very best ath-
letes in southwest Florida,
participated in this event.
The star of the meet for LHS


girl's track team was Brooke Mor-
ris. Brooke raced to a first place
finish in the 800-meter run,
anchored the third place 400-
meter relay team and anchored
the third place 1600-meter relay
tear. Brooke was the overall
points leader at this meet and has
been all season. Jordan Walls
also scored points for LHS in
three events as she captured sixth
in the 800-meter run, was a mem-
ber of the fourth place 3200-
meter relay team and was a
member of the 1600-meter relay
team. Brittney Gallegos had her
best finish all year as she won
medals in the 400-meter relay
and the 1600-meter relay. Other
athletes scoring points for

Pittman returns for state play


. Senior Amanda Pittman won
her singles matches at districts by
convincing scores of 6-0, 6-1,6-0, 6-
2 and 6-0, 6-0. She will be compet-
ed at State Finals on Tuesday, April
25, at Jesuit High School in Tampa.
After a three week lay-off because
of a tender elbow, the physical ther-
apy and icing seemed to have
worked magic for Amanda.
According to Coach. Bobbie
Spratt, the girl's tennis team had
another fabulous tennis season,
winning at least half of all their
matches. She is very proud of them
all.
Amanda's sister, Melinda, who
usually plays in the second slot,
was also out for two weeks with a


knee injury. Teammates stepped
out of their comfort zones and
moved up to play those two posi-
tions during the regular season.
The higher caliber of play and extra
experience seemed to pay off.
The team ended their season
tying for third place at the district
competition that took place at
Cambier Park in Naples last week.
Rachael Boy, the number five play-
er went to district finals in singles.
Jessica Alsina, team position num-
ber six, competed in the third slot,
going three sets. Senior VanCheska
Koch and Melinda Pittman, "under-
dogs from LaBelle," playing in the
number two doubles, beat the Lely
High School girls in the semi-finals.


Amanda Pittman and Rachael Boy
played quite well in the number
one doubles spot against a very
powerful Naples team.
Because of a change in redis-
tricting, during district competition
LaBelle High School was paired
against Naples schools such as
Lely, Naples, Golden Gate and Pal-
metto Ridge, as well as Immokalee
and Clewiston. Many of the Naples
girls have been playing tennis since
they could pick up a racquet.
The LaBelle returning players
are looking forward to another fun
learning experience at the Gator
Tennis Camp in Gainesville this
June. Sponsorship and donations
would be greatly appreciated.

Davidson takes


powerlifting title


Matt Davidson remained
undefeated this season by plac-
ing first at theFHSAA State Finals
in the 199-weight class. David-
son's 660 lb. total was 10
pounds better
than anyone
else's. David- .,
son's 345 lb.
bench press
and 315 lb.
clean and jerk
were good ; .
enough to .
win the State
Title. Know- Ma t
ing he had the
title he went Davidson
for a state
record of 360 lbs. for the clean
and jerk, but failed. Other than
Davidson, the Cowboy's day did
not go quite as well.
Out of seven other lifters,
only two placed in the top ten.


Blake Basquin, weighing in at
169 lbs., and Manual Solo in the
129 lb. weight class placed in the
top ten in their classes.
Basquin's 270 bench press and
280 lb. clean and jerk were good
for 10th place at the state com-
petition. Basquin lifted his per-
sonal best; and a school record
of 169 Ibs. in his weight class,
but faced outrageous competi-
tion in the 169 lb. weight class.
Lenrot Sahene of Avon Park
won the 169 weight class with a
370 bench press and 280 lb.
clean and jerk.
"Our goal every year is to win
our sectional, and have two peo-
ple place at states," said Coach
Kelley.
This year was, the Cowboy's
forth straight sectional ride. The
Cowboy's sent a record eight
lifters to the State Finals.

Ten-year-old Blanca Hernandez bravely allows hairdresser
Merry Kelly to prepare her long dark locks for the scissors.


Locks of Love helps cancer patients feel better


Ten-year-old Bianca Hernan-
dez is sporting a brand new look
these days. Her long dark hair is
gone, but not just thrown into a
trash can and forgotten. Her
beautiful tresses will be woven
into, a special wig for some
unknown cancer victim who has
lost her hair.'
The fifth grader at Communi-
ty Christian School decided to
donate her hair to the American
Cancer Society's Locks of Love
program because she wanted to
help other children.


Daily washing, brushing and
twisting her waist-long tresses
up into a bun were a chore for
this active ten-year-old one she
admits she's not sorry to give up.
Even with her cute new layered
style, she still has plenty of hair
to pull up into a sporly ponytail,
if she wants to.
Her parents are Estela and Jay
Hernandez. Estela said they had
Bianca's long hair cut and donat-
ed it to Locks of Love once
before when she was just five
years old.


Bianca's a straight A student,
her mother said. Bianca likes her
teacher, Miss Hand, and says she
wants to be a lawyer some day.
She enjoys her pet hamster,
Patrick, and even used him as.
inspiration for her Tropicana
Speech contest entry this year.
Bianca's mom took her to
Sissie's Place to have her hair cut
and Merry Kelly did the styling. A
hairdresser for 20 \ears, Merry
said she's so impressed with lit-
tle girls like Bianca \\ho donate
their hair for other children, rec-


ognizing that children who lose
their hair from cancer treatment
can be victims again by cruelty
from other children. The
thoughtfulness of little girls like
Bianca can make a big differ-
ence in their lives.
You can donate your hair to
Locks of Love. It must be at least
ten inches long, clean, dry and
bound together in a ponytail or
braid. Place it in a plastic bag
and mail it in a padded envelope
to: Locks of Love. 2925 10th
Ave. N, Lake Worth, FL33461.

Back in business

Hurricane Wilma blew down the Pioneer Community Park sign but with a new paint job
and the help of County Road and Bridge employees Walter Greer, Armando Rodriguez
and former Pioneer resident David Bosley, the landmark sign to point the way to the Pio-
neer Park is back up ready for the next hurricane season. The sign was an original design
of Pioneer resident Alice McCluskey. It was a wooden sign and after years of weather was
in bad shape. Several years ago David Bosley took the original design and cut it out of
sheet metal, so the sign should serve Pioneer residents for many, many years.

Projects restore part of old river


By MaryAnn Morris

By the 1940s, Central Florida
was well-populated. The pri-
mary industry was cattle. In 1946
and 1947, hurricanes dumped
record rainfall on South Florida.
The Kissimmee River swelled
out over its floodplain and thou-
sands of cattle were drowned.
South of Orlando, most of the
state was underwater with
flooding responsible for exten-
sive property damage through-
out South Florida.
A group of concerned citizens
met in Okeechobee, formed the
Central and Southern Flood Con-
trol District (which later became
South Florida Water Manage-
ment District) and ultimately
petitioned the government to
help control the flooding.
To protect developing areas
around Kissimmee and control
flooding in the Kissimmee River
Valley, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers straightened 103
miles of the meandering Kissim-
mee River and its 35,000 acre
floodplain into a 56-mile-long,
30 foot deep, 300 foot wide
channel, draining 21,000 acres of
floodplain in the process. This is
the C-38 Canal. The wading birds
left. The sandy river bottom
where fish spawned became
-covered with silt brought down
bi rushing water from the north-
ern reaches of the watershed
and the fish left. The marshes
dried up and ducks no longer
made their nests along ,the
Kissimmee.
The Kissimmee River water-
shed forms the headwaters of
the- Kissimmee-Okeechobee-
Everglades System. It feeds Lake
Okeechobee and the Everglades.
Water matters in this region are
handled by the South Florida
Water Managerent (SFWMDl),
one of-a number of such state
agencies in Florida. Flood con-
trol, water supply, water quality
and maintenance of the natural
areas of the watershed are all
responsibilities of SFWMD., This
includes many different wetland
and aquatic ecosystems, more
than two dozen lakes, their tribu-
tary streams and the Kissimmee
River..
The restoration of the Kissim-
mee River is not a single project
The Kissimmee Basin Modeling
and Operations Study, Kissim-
mee River Restoration Project
(KRRP), Kissimmee River Head-
waters Revitalization Project
(KRHRP), and Kissimmee Chain
of Lakes, (KCOL) Long-Term
Management Plan (LTMP) are
major projects in the watershed.
These projects include ecosys-
tem restoration, evaluation of
the work, aquatic plant manage-
ment, land management, water
quality improvement, water sup-
ply planning and how better to
balance them all, while also con-
sidering the impacts across
ecosystems including Lake
Okeechobee and the Caloosa-
hatchee and St. Lucie estuaries.
The Kissimmee River Restora-
tion and the Kissimmee River
Headwaters Revitalization proj-
ects were jointly authorized in
the 1992 Water Resources Devel-
opment Act. The two projects
have an estimated combined
cost of $578 million and will be
completed in several phases,
with completion in 2012.
The primary goal of the
Kissimmee River Restoration
Project is to re-establish the
river-floodplain system. The
project will restore, over 40-
square miles of river/floodplain
ecosystem including 43 miles of
meandering river channel and
2-7,000 acres of wetlands. The
restoration project is a joint part-
nership with the South Florida
Water Management District
(SFWMD) and US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE).
This requires reconstruction
of the river closer to its natural
form and reestablishment of his-
toric flows. Basically, it means
un-straightening the river. Track-
ing ecological responses will
give scientists the ability to judge
their success and provide scien-
tific information for fine-tuning.
Phase I of the KRRP was com-
pleted in February 2001 and
filled approximately 7.5 miles of
the C-38 canal (the straightened
Kissimmee River), re-carved


approximately 1.25 miles of river
channel and demolished the S-
65B structure to reconnect 15
miles of continuous river chan-
nel. Surveys show water quality
was improved and populations
of wading birds, ducks and fish.
Much of the water flowing to
the KCOL and Kissimmee River
originates in four headwater
basins north of the KCOL one of
the most rapidly urbanizing
areas in Florida. The quality and
quantity of water flowing


F. -







through these basins influence
the health of all downstream sys-
tems. The SFWMD works with
local governments throughout
the Upper Basin to fund water
resource projects to improve
water quality, water supply, nat-
ural resources, and flood control
levels of service.
The KICCO Wildlife Manage-
ment Area is an approximate
7,400-acre property in Polk
County, managed by the Dis-
trict's Land Stewardship Division
and was purchased under the
Save Our Rivers Program in 1985
as part of the KRRP. It is located
on the west side of the C-38
canal in Pool A of the Kissimmee
River. The north border is State
Highway 60, and the south bor-
der lies south of the S-65A water
control structure.
Since the C-38 canal will not
be backfilled north .of S-65A,
flow will not be restored to the
remnant Kissimmee River in
Pool A. However, smaller proj-
ects will serve to increase water
storage, improve water quality,
mitigate flooding and restore the
wetland community in parts of
the floodplain associated with
the river's tributaries. This will
restore historic tpre-C&SF Pro-
ject) floodplain to Packingham
and Buttermilk sloughs.
Increased wetland habitat for
wildlife and creation of a "wvet-
land corridor" between Lake
Kissimmee and the restored por-
tion of the Kissimmee River will
result. The main features of the
restoration plan are the creation
of two containment .levees,.
backfilling of drainage ditches
and installation of gated water
control structures to. manage
water levels and mimic the his-
toric surface water levels in the
basin according to a model
developed from historic data at
nearby Fort: Kissimmee. This
modeling was completed in
March 2005. Detailed design is
under. way.and-is scheduled, for
completion this fiscal year.
Rolling Meadows Ranch lies
on the south shore of Lake
Hatchineha. The 2,260-acre
property was purchased by the
SFWMD and the FDEP as part of
the KRRP. Currently, this proper-
ty is leased back to the previous
owner as a sod farm.
The restoration- plan shows
the construction of a 1,670-acre
impounded wetland, possibly
fed by water from Lake
Hatchineha and from Catfish
Creek. The wetland will be man-
aged to mimic the natural lake
and will provide habitat for
wildlife. The area outside the
impounded wetland may be
incorporated into the Lake
Kissimmee State Park. To assess
how water will be delivered to
the impoundment, hydrologic
modeling of Catfish Creek was
completed in March 2004. The
report outlines three options for
providing water to the impound-
ment. A final decision has not
been made.
Currently, a statement of
work to develop a conceptual
restoration plan for the property
is under review. It will include
creating a conceptual restora-
tion plan for the Rolling Mead-
ows/Catfish Creek property. His-
torical (pre-C&SF Project) data
such as aerial.photography, veg-
etation and soil maps, and stage
data shall be used to delineate
natural communities and the
historical route of Catfish Creek.
The primary purpose of the
Kissimmee- River Headwaters
Revitalization Project is to pro-


vide water storage and regula-
tion schedule modifications to
restore the historical flow char-
acteristics of the Kissimmee
River system. The secondary
purpose is to increase the size
and quality of lake littoral zone
habitat in lakes Kissimmee,
Hatchineha, Tiger and Cypress
to benefit fish and wildlife.
The Long-Term Management
Plan for the Kissimmee Chain of
Lakes was begun by SFWMD in
April 2003. The project's pur-
pose is to improve and sustain
the .ecosystem health of the
KCOL regulated lakes while min-
imizing adverse .impacts to
downstream ecosystems.


Over the last year, an annotat-
ed bibliography of KCOL litera-
ture has been assembled. Sur-
veys of people in the KCOL area
showed that people want recre-
ation such as fishing, swimming
and boating and quiet places
where they could enjoy nature.
.Project goals will be changed to
reflect .those preferences.. Two
brochures will keep people
updated on the progress of proj-
ects, another will be more gener-
al, outlining jurisdictions and the
agency responsible.

Water Management District

Beautification at Bob Mason


By Donna Meister

If you are not familiar with it,
the spacious Bob Mason Park is
just west of the city boat docks,
with a wonderful view overlook-
ing the Caloosahatchee River.
Thanks to the joint efforts from
members of the Greater LaBeUe
Garden Club, Hendry-Giades
Audubon Society, LaBelle Her-
itage Museum, Firehouse Cultural-
Center and tle Coalition for Eco-
Recreation the park has gotten
some extra tender loving care.


This group of industrious folks
decided it needed some extra
help. They volunteered their time,
provided the manpower, tools
and even the plants. Many differ-
ent varieties of bromeliads and
plants were donated by Dalid and
Gail Praul of Cape Coral and Vicky
Chirnside from Venice who are all
members of the Caloosahatchee
Bromeliad Society. These 'friend-
ship plants' as they are called,
provide a beautiful addition to the
park.
This energetic group of volun-
teers seem like modern day John-


ny Appleseeds. They have taken it
on themselves to beautify many
areas in our lovely town with
native foliage that require only a
little care and water for the enjoy-
ment ol us all.
The park has a beautiful view
of the river, many oak and pine
trees for welcome shade and
even a fenced kiddie section with
playground equipment for the lit-
Ue ones.
Check out this little peace of
paradise during your next leisure
time.


The Division of Justice Stud-
ies at Florida Gulf Coast Universi-
ty announces the new Master of
Science in criminal forensic
studies that was launched in
February is now offered to stu-
dents on a part-time basis in
response to student need.
"It was originally established
as a full time MS but there have
been a number of criminal jus-
tice professionals in the area that
have demonstrated an interest in
the degree but cannot leave their
positions to pursue a fulltime
course of study," professor and
coordinator of Criminal Forensic
Studies Duane L. Dobbert said.
FGCU accepts applications
through July I for the MS pro-
gram and reviews submissions
on a rolling admission basis,
even before receipt of GRE
scores.
In addition, students may
concurrently fulfill undergradu-
ate course requirements for
admission to the graduate pro-
gram while enrolled in certain
graduate level courses in the
program.
The MS builds upon the Bach-
elor of Science in criminal foren-
sic studies. Similar to the BS, the
MS is an interdisciplinary degree
focused on making graduates
competitive in the marketplace
and fulfilling needs left vacant by
programs at other universities
around the state and nation. The
MS degree prepares students for
work and research in advanced
positions with specific skill sets.
The 42 credit-hour degree
program has three areas of con-
centration. Students in the pro-
gram select one concentration
from forensic behavior analyst,


death investigator ii criminalis-
tics, or death investigator in
human identity ind trauma
analysis.
Additional program informa-
tion and applications are avail-
able on the Web at

For more information, media
representatives should contact
executive secretary Melissa
Hamley at (239) 590-7821.

Andrew Cowin was a lucky young man at the recent Bunny
Bingo event at West Glades. He won a bicycle, however it
was a girl's bicycle and not a boy's. So what did he do?
Andrew gave the bicycle to a "boy" friend! He also won many
raffle prizes (which he kept), Andrew's mother won the 50/50
drawing. Andrew is a first grader in Mrs. Todd's class.

This was a first but certainly
will not be the last. Bunny Bingo
night at West Glades Elementary
was a tremendous success from
all standpoints. This first event
was held Friday, April 7, and
proved to be even more than the
school hoped for.
The Principal, Larry R. Luckey,
Jr., said, "We had no idea that we
would get so much support from
the community. Support came
from all directions! Prizes for play-
ing Bunny Bingo, raffle prizes, etc.
Some of the prizes included a tel-
evision, bicycles, outdoor grills,
Easter hams plus other items. It
was such an exciting time for stu-
dents, guests and members of the
PTO (Parent-Teachers Organiza-
tion).
He added, "We've been asked
over and over when the next
event will be held. The answer to
that question is Bunny Bingo at
West Glades School will be an
annual event, to be held each year
prior to Easter. The actual date
will be announced early next


year."
Since its opening in 2004, the
new West Glades School has
been woefully lacking in play-
ground equipment for students.
Bunny Bingo was the first event
especially planned to raise funds
for such equipment.
About its success, Principal
Luckey said, "We are over-
whelmed at the financial success
of this event which amounted to
$3,900. And also of primary
importance was the fun and
pleasure for everyone who was
there. Any number of those
attending won more than one
prize! We cannot thank the mem-
bers of the PTO enough, especial-
ly Mrs. Edith Hackman and all the
other members of the PTO who
contributed so much time and
effort, working tirelessly in organ-
izing this event for our school.
Playground equipment is
extremely important for our stu-
dents and now that the Playgound
Fund is off to such a great begin-
ning, We know it won't be too
long before our playground will
have the equipment it needs."
