Hendry, Glades
begin dialogue

By Patty Brant
Hendry and Glades County
Boards of County Commission-
ers came together Tuesday
evening in a historic joint work-
shop meeting, discussing mutu-
al issues ranging from the
health of Lake Okeechobee and
the Caloosahatchee River to the
need to plan bicycle paths.
Overall, continuing quality of
life is what this meeting was all

A man died during the early
morning hours of Tuesday,
May 2, when his car careened
into the river at the end of Main
Street. The identity of.the driv-

presstime, as he was carrying
no identification.
What is known is that

LaBelle Fire Station after

boards are working to save for
current residents and those
who will become neighbors.
Although lake and river
water issues are out of local
hands, governed largely by the
Corps of Engineers and South
Florida Water Management,
both Hendry and Glades offi-
cials understand they are of pri-
mary importance. The varn ing
uses of these bodies, including
flood protection, water supply
and recreation, add to the com-
plexity of the issue which isn't

Main Street as the Chrysler

Approaching the intersection
at DeSoto, he failed to slow
in time to make the turn to

airborne and vaulted into the
river.
The vehicle submerged into
the water with the driver

in but was unable to cut
through the convertible's can-
vas top to free the driver.

The officials also discussed

Water storage plan described


Can deep wells
protect rivers?

By Matt Bokor
Youngquist Brothers
LaBELLE, FL- May 1,2006-
Diverting excess water from
Lake Okeechobee into a cav-
ernous, saltwater zone 3,000 feet
beneath the surface could help
protect the Caloosahatchee and
St. Lucie Rivers when lake levels
must be lowered, members of a
water advisory committee said
last week in LaBelle.
"It sounds like deep well
injection is going to be viable,"
said Malcolm Wade, chairman of
the Lake Okeechobee Commit-
tee of the South Florida Water
Management District's Water
Resources Advisory Commis-
sion.
For more than 40 years,
municipal water utilities
throughout South Florida have
relied on deep well technology
to protect the surface environ-
ment from the highly treated,
nutrient-rich fresh water that
results from the wastewater
treatment process.
The receiving layer, approxi-
mately 3,000 feet below the sur-
face, is an extremely porous salt-
water aquifer known as the
Boulder Zone. Unique to South
Florida, the Boulder Zone is a


slow-moving river of highly min-
eralized water, as salty as seawa-
ter. Because of its permeability, it
has an extremely high capacity
to accept water from the surface
at minimal pressure.
Water managers had already.
instructed staff to study the possi-
bility of using deep wells as an
alternative to the damaging
releases from Lake Okeechobee.
The study is expected to be fin-
ished by mid-2007.
"There is little doubt in my
mind that deep injection wells
could be utilized here. They're a
viable option," Bob Verrastro,
lead project manager of the
SFWMD water supply depart-
ment, told the committee.
The technology is similar to
that of aquifer storage and recov-
ery (ASR) wells, which store
clean water from the surface in a
shallower, brackish aquifer for
future withdrawal. More than
300 ASR wells are already includ-
ed in the Comprehensive Ever-
glades Restoration Plan.
While ASR wells have yet to
be installed for Everglades
restoration, deep wells, because
of their long history, could be
drilled and operational relatively
quickly, the committee was told.
Additionally, deep wells have
a much higher capacity. A 24-
inch diameter deep well can, dis-
charge approximately 18.7 mil-
lion gallons per day, compared


to approximately 5 million gal-
lons per day for each ASR well.
"Deep well injection seems to
have a lot of potential here,"
commented Rob Laughlin of the
City of Sanibel, which is one of
many municipalities using deep
well technology.
Consultants for a deep-well
contractor said 30-inch diameter
wells, with a capacity of 31.7 mil-
lion gallons per day, could be
constructed at a cost of approxi-
mately $10 million each. Drilling
50 strategically placed wells
could accommodate 1.6 billion
gallons per day and augment the
ASR wells, they said.
One billion gallons represents
2.5 feet of lake level, Verrastro
noted.
Some committee members
suggested a combination of ASR
wells and deep wells, noting that
under current scenarios, water
sent into the Boulder Zone can-
not be recovered. Committee
members also noted that lake
Water can't be recovered when
discharged down the rivers and
severely damages sensitive estu-
aries along the way. With deep
wells, the estuaries are protect-
ed.
"I happen to think that's a
really good alternative," said
Martin County Commissioner
Michael DiTerlizzi, a member of
the advisory board.


including fire, EMS, 911 and
Emergency Management have
long been problematic,
although fire and EMS person-
nel from both counties have
worked together harmoniously
for years.
Transportation will have to
be addressed long before real
growth can occur, both boards
agree, and they will be sorting
out responsibilities, addressing
sticking points and looking for
common ground.
The commissioners were all
amenable to working as a team


rather than as separate entities.
Glades County Commission
Chairman Butch Jones noted
the importance of issues that
cross the county line "issues
like water, development growth
and traffic I could go on and
on."
Hendry County Commission
Chairman Darrell Harris was
impressed with the way the two
boards and staff met the chal-
lenge of their first meeting.
"We'll continue as needed." he
said, "and we need to get Lee
and Charlotte counties
involved, too."


Truck stop to



add 30-80 jobs


By Patty Brant
The county commissioners
approved what they hope will
be a shot in the arm for the
Clewiston area economy last'
weekwhen they approved an ad
valoiem tax exemption for Bar-
ron Management and Invest-
ment, Inc. The business will pro-
vide a welcome center, truck
wash, scale, lounge, fitness cen-
ter, business center, barber.
shop, operation center for GPS,
conference rooms, hotel, ban-
quet facility, public RV and boat


park, secure parking for com-
mercial vehicles and emergency
roadside service. To be located
along US 27 at the new entrance
to Airglades Industrial Park, it
should employ 30-80 people for
an average wage of $25,000 per
year.
This is considered an excel-
lent location for such a business
and it %will have limited competi-
tion. The nearest full service
truck stop is more than 100

Utilities are on


the city's mind


By Patty Brant
The City of LaBelle continues
to plan for future water utilities,
although it is still unclear exactly
where some of its customers will
be.
LaBelle commissioners
passed an ordinance that would
allow them to provide water and
sewer to residents outside the
city limits as well as inside.
Although the county took excep-
tion to the move, questioning
the city's authority to supply utili-
ties outside its boundaries with-
out a franchise. The county com-
missioners have since accepted
the new district, but still insists a
franchise is required and also


questions the surcharge the city
would levy on non-city residents.
The question is expected to
come up at the next county
commission meeting on May 9.
The city's consulting attor-
ney, Bill Sundstrom, provided an
update on utility plans at last
month's regular commission
meeting.
In 2004 the city passed an
ordinance stating its right to a
zone of influence a water dis-
trict that includes areas outside
the city limits.
It's pursuing funding from

miles away. There are few resi-
dences in the vicinity, although a
developer has recently acquired
property to build some 10,000
homes in the area. Growth in
Hendry County over the past two
years has reached 400 percent.
The site is expected to attract
visitors to the area needing fuel for
their RVs as well as food and a
place to stay.
Truckers hauling cargo to and
from tle ports of Miami, Port Ever-
glades.and Palm Beach are also
expected to use this facility. It will
also serve local agricultural truck-
ing as will buses transporting visi-
tors from the ports and cruise lines.
The commission approved a 75,
percent tax abatement for eight
years for the facility.

Montura issues
Art Perez, resident of Montura
and member of the Board: of
Supervisors there, approached the
county commissioners about the
state of recreation in that commu-
nity. He wondered if the communi-
ty's status as a 298 drainage district
was the reason the county did not
contribute to improvements at the
park and clubhouse. He was also
concerned that code enforcement
has become overly involved in
Montura.
'Commissioner Kevin McCarthy
felt it was a good discussion to take
up. He pointed out that residents in
the West Rec District pay $175 per
residence for services while in East
Rec. they pay $35 per residence.
Monlura residents pay $15 or $18
per residence. He added that this
was the lirst year the county kept
Montura rec funds, which were
used for the pool lifeguard and
summer recreation program. He
also said Montura could be rolled
over into the East County Rec if the
residents wanted it.
Commissioner Darrell Harris
explained that the county takes
care of county roads only.

trict will extend to the Lee County
line on the west; across the river at

Couni'Y Mr. Sundstorn reiterated
that the cit would not be under
any obligation to provide services,
but will reserve the right to provide
them when they become economi-
cally feasible, with new develop-
ment bearing the brunt of the costs.
Developers are being encouraged
to build new construction with
sewer hookups and a package
plant that could connect to city utili-
ties later.
The board approved an inter-
local agreement, wishing to:
Avoid duplication of facilities
and utilities;
Provide cost effective water
and wastewater service to potential
customers;


Also with regard to Montura,
County Attorney Kate English
responded to a letter from the Cen-
tral Water Control District asking
the county to take some roads. She
explained that the CWCD cannot
convey property, although it can
accept property.

In other business:
The second phase of the
LaBelle Rodeo Arena project was
awarded to Dean Steel Buildings
for a pavilion/show ring.
The county received a grant to
install 911 equipment in the
Clewiston Utilities Department for
use as a back up 911 answering
position.
A hurricane damaged mobile
home will be replaced with anoth-
er mobile home using CDBG
monies. The replacement mobile
home must meet the county's
Wind Zone 3 standard.
Tax Collector Peggy Hamp-
ton's request for the county to pay
part of the $75,000 renovation
costs for the new Driver's License
Division location in LaBelle was
approved. The Tax Collector's
Office is taking the LaBelle office
over, which is being relocated from
Cowboy Way by the airport to the
old Jaycee building on
Jaycee/Lions Blvd. The Tax Collec-
tor's Office has returned over $1
million in unused fees to the com-
rmission since 2000
The contract for Encore to
build the new PLBU water plant
was approved subject to attorney
review.
Security for the annual Brown
Sugar Festival in Cle\tiston will be
stepped up. Commissioner Kein
McCarthy noted that last year prob-
lems occurred alter festival not dur-
ing it, but that more deputies are
needed.
The board continues to look
at the under-construction Court-
house Square to relocate the SHIP,
VA and planning departments
The board declared a state of

ton. The declaration was necessary


Provide public facilities and
service to support future develop-
ment;
*Delineate the rights of the par-
ties in providing service;
Settle the dispute with the
county on whetherr or not a fran-
chise is required.

The ordinance was passed, with
the only dissenting vote from Com-
missioner Hilda Zirnmerly.
She also tiestioned the alford-
abilirl of a nev\ .$3 million n\ater
plant, \\orril about undue finan-
cial pressure on some residents.
She thought that residents will still
be paying for bonds for current
facility till 2041 and read off audit
figures showing a deficit in city utili-
ties budget. If water is a good mon-
eymaker, she reasoned, where is
the profit? She moved that the pro-
posed water plant be put up for a
referendum. The motion died for
lack of a second.
Superintendent of Public Works
Michael Boyle explained that the
bond Commissioner Zimmerly
referred to is for the new waste-
water plant, not the old water plant.
He said that, although the total

because Animal Control needs the
space by May 31, leaving no time
for the usual procedures. The facili-
tywill relocate to the county barn.
The county attorney also
received a response from Lee
County, which said they would like
to discuss the notice of default they
received from Hendry County as
well as other issues. Hendry Coun-
ty is taking issue with a number of
promised improvements to
Church Road that Lee County has
never come through with.

Publichearings
Homestead Development's
request to rezone 189 acres at the
corner of SR 80 and Birchwood
Parkway, on the south side of SR
80, was approved. The property
will be used for a maximum of 312
residences on 154 acres, with 26
acres for commercial
The board approved two
requests from Barron Collier III
Land Trust to place mobile homes
on ag property to be used as sea-
sonal housing for foremen and as
ag classrooms for workers. The
applicant is moving a farm opera-
tion there from Fort Myers. The
board refused to waive impact
fees, even though they may have to
be returned in five years if they are
not used.
The board approved a
request to add additional ware-
house space and outside storage to
the former Sun Country Citrus
hauling property in Felda. One
neighbor was concerned about
drainage issues, but was told that
those concerns would, be
addressed in the site plan.
Mark Houston requested a
special exception to replace a %wall
buffer with a vegetative buffer at
1290 N. Bridge Street. The property
is used for engine repair, fishing
and boating supplies and boat
sales. After discussion citing a pre-
vious violation, the request was
approved,4-1.
The board heard a request by
Loris Cartallevra to change zoning
from rural residential to high inten-
sity commercial on the 2.5 acres at
1725 Hendry Isles Blvd. in Pioneer


operation of the utility system

flow side is in the black. He said the
city used grants and legislative
appropriations to pay for the new
\ wastewater plant.
The city is looking at a 2.5 mil-
lion gallon per day (gpd.) water
plant that will be paid for by new
development. The current water
plantwas built in 1974.

City considers .
noticing problem
A request to replace an old
mobile home in Pinewood with a
new one exposed a noticing prob-
lem for the city. That section was
recently rezoned R1, which does
not allow mobile homes, from R2T,
which does. Mobile homes will
gradually be phased out of that
mobile home park area. 'However,
many residents there do not speak
English and were apparently
unaware of the change, although
the city did all the; required legal
notifications. There is also no provi-
sion in the new ordinance for spe-
cial exceptions, making it impossi-
ble for the board to allow the


Plantation. He wants to do a com-
mercial hardware business with
outdoor storage of construction
materials. The LPA found the use
as a hardware store consistent with
the comprehensive plan but not
the outdoor storage, which would
require a special exception.
Although the county is
amenable to creating neighbor-
hood commercial areas, the board
wanted to table the request and
look at the location.
Commissioner Bill Maddox
added that this business has been
out of compliance and must come
into compliance before the board
will take it off the table.
The board tabled a special
exception request by Iglesia Chris-
tiana Restauracion to place. a
church in :a residential zone on
Nobles Road. Neighbors com-
plained about the noise and point-
ed out that the property was too
small for the use. The question will
be taken up again in July.
Belle Hatchee Marina was
denied a special exception for a
guard/caretaker dwelling and out-
side storage for the marina. The
commissioners cited repeated vio-
lations from code enforcement
and complaints about the property
in denying the request.
The board approved a vari-
ance request for Amber Oaks to
allow five lots on 9.9 acres on Ft.
Denaud Road. The request \vas
approved 5-0.
The board approved a
request for the county to,vacate
Weber Street, which bisects two
parcels owned by Gordan Biggar
on the north side of the mner, east of
SR29.
Commissioner Harris asked
staff to work on finding a site for

Lester Baird noted that a minimum
of 24 acres is needed.
The board voted to readver-
tise for new county attorney, since

Clewviston.


applicant to install the new mobile
home he just purchased.
In the end, the commissioners
voted to allow the replacement of
old mobile homes with new ones
for the next two years. This will not
help the original applicant, howev-
er, so he has been asked to fill out
the paperwork and a June hearing
\.ill be held for him.

Utility plans
.A decision \ill haveJo lbe, made
on whether the city will design a 5
million pgd or 2.5 million gpd
water plant. Design plans need to
start this summer.
Grant Misterly of ATM explained
options for expanding wastewater
lines throughout the unserved por-
tions of the city, including the differ-
ences between a gravity flow and a
vacuum system. Operating at
about a third of its capacity now,
the new wastewater plant should
be able to accommodate the addi-
tional customers, It will be an
expensive proposition, though,
costing over $20 million to hook up
unserved residents.

LFD sends mutual


aid to LeHigh


LaBelle Fire Department sent
a team of firefighters to help
quash the LeHigh Acres blaze
this past weekend. The blaze
destroyed nine homes and 2,000
acres. Three juveniles were
taken into custody in the inci-
dent.
LaBelle provided mutual aid
beginning Saturday, April 29, at
3:30 p.m. with nine personnel
and a strike team leader, four
brush trucks and two brush
trucks. Pioneer Plantation and
Felda fire departments also sent
firefighters and trucks.
LaBelle Fire Chief Dwayne
Pratt warned that the same dry


conditions exist here hat made
LeHigh Acres susceptible to fire
hazards. Port LaBelle, in particu-
lar, is worrisome, he said. In fact,
just the other.day the fire depart-
ment was called to a cul de sac
in Port LaBelle where some kids
had started a fire. LFD also
responded to a small ten-acre
fire two weeks ago in Port
LaBelle.
He reminded residents to be
cautious; do not burn anything;
and report fires. "People need to
realize that all big fires start with
a little fire," Chief Pratt said. Rain
is not predicted till June if then,
he noted.

Are you immunized against mumps?


The County Health Depart-
ment advises all residents to
become aware of their immunity
status for the measles, mumps,
rubella (MMR) vaccine in light of
the recent mumps outbreak in
the Midwest.

"We encourage everyone to
know the status of their vaccina-
tions in order to ensure safety
and resistance against many dis-
eases, including mumps," said
DOH Secretary M. Rony


Frangois, M.D., M.S.P.H., Ph.D.
"Proper routine vaccinations
help protect individuals and
raise their levels of immunity.
While vaccines are not 100 per-
cent effective, they do offer the
highest form of protection
against harmful infections and
diseases."
Mumps is a contagious dis-
ease spread by mucus or
droplets from the nose or throat
of an infected person, usually


when such a person coughs or
sneezes. Transmission can also
occur if an infected individual
touches an object with unclean
hands and then rubs their eyes,
mouth or nose.
Symptoms of mumps include
fever, headache, muscle aches,
tiredness and loss of appetite fol-
lowed by the onset of parotitis
(swollen and tender sali\ary
glands under the ear). Individu-
als with such symptoms should


contact their primary health care
physician in order to receive
proper instructions. People sus-
pected of having mumps should
avoid contact with others until
the cause of their symptoms is
determined.

Details about mumps can be
found at DOH's website
www.doh.state.fl.us under dis-
eases and conditions.

ATTENTION HENDRY COUNTY RESIDENTS AND CONTRACTORS:
As many ofyou may know, the.construction and roofing costs are at an
all time high due to national increases in material, labor and fuel.
These price increases have been on a regular basis since Hurricane
Charlie. Unfortunately, these increases are carried o er to the home-
owners needing construction and.or rooting work done. To make
matters worse, now the Lee/Hendry dump will not let us dump any
construction debris at the LaBelle facility. This means %\e have to take
all debris from our job sites to the landfill in Lee County. The prices for
dumping have more than tripled at the new location and we have had
to hire a full time employee just to transport debris on a daily basis to
this landfill because it is so far away. All of these construction increases
fall back on the residents ofHendry County. As a community we need
to come together and try to set up a meeting with Lee/Hendry Solid
Waste and try to get them to let us use the landfill. Maybe if we join
forces, we can try and eliminate some of these increases. If you would
like to help out with this cause, please call your local county commis-
sioners or special districts for recycling at (863) 675-5252 and express
your concerns. Please help us try to lower the price of your next proj-
ect in Hendry County!,

Life presents real financial issues


These are real life cases which
may stir your emotions and help
you act-upon your own estate to
get any planning completed that
you have postponed. Only the
Good Lord knows how long you
will be on this earth Maybe it will
be a long time, maybe not. Don't
find yourself looking down from
Heaven some day and wishing
you had wrapped things up bet-
ter.
.Case #1 involved a husband
and wife with two daughters. One
was divorced, financially respon-
sible, :employed with a good
career, and raising two children.
The other daughter was in an
abusive marriage. Her husband
was both physically and verbally
abusive. The parents were fairly
sure a divorce was imminent. The
parents had a medium size estate
and were well up in age.
I suggested they leave half
their estate assets, and one half
their insurance money and annu-
ities, to the first daughter outright;
the other half of their estate, and.
one half of their insurance money
and annuities to be payable to the
second daughter over a ten-year
period. That guaranteed that if the
second daughter got a divorce her
income was not available to her
in a lump sum:that the abusive
husband could take. The parents
took my advice and had their

attorney draw the proper wills
and trust document.
Case #2 involved a husband
and wife again, this time with two
sons. The parents owned a busi-
ness that did interstate com-
merce. Neither son had any chil-
dren or spouses. They were
thirtyish. Both boys were relative-
ly responsible, however, one of
them had made the big mistake of
letting his major medical insur-
ance lapse. Within 30 days past
the grace period, he lost a leg in a
motorcycle accident, and ran up
huge medical expenses. Addition-
ally, for the rest of his life he will
need prosthesis' that are.specially
fitted and very expensive. If the
parents left half of their estate to
him, it would immediately go to
doctors and hospitals.
Incidentally, I have a daughter
and son-in-law who are physi-
cians and don't want to see the
folks in the medical profession


ripped off by patients who are
uninsured, and irresponsible.
However, this case illustrates a
medical dilemma situation, It
could happen to anyone, includ-
ing you.
The young man had previously
carried insurance. His only choice
how to get those big bills behind
him was to file for bankruptcy, or
eventually use the inheritance
from his parents to pay them off.
The parents didn't want that to
happen with their money. The
father's sister was a successful
CPA and they had a good family
relationship.
I was able to get them to sit
down with the sister (the son's
aunt) and an attorney and draw
up a will and trust document that
was admittedly complex, in.
which the CPA became the
trustee with total control, so the
son did not have "constructive
receipt" of the inheritance, and
the other son was an advisor. This
way the injured son (physically
and financially) could get doled
out an income that had some
legal protection, yet provided for
his "health, education, and main-
tenance." The important thing is
that the parents followed through
with the CPA and attorney to pro-
tect their son.
Case #3 happened in Mary-
land. The parents were farmers


Who has citizen's rights in the United States?


April 22, 2006, at 11:30 p.m.
there was another car accident
here in Muse on Loblolhl Bay Road
within just a few hundred feet of
the Muse Fire Dept. I heard a noise
that sounded like a muffled explo-
sion and went to investigate. I
walked to the road and saw noth-
ing but I did notice when a car
came to a certain spot in the road it
slowed down and then continued
on. I got in my truck and went to
investigate.
In just a matter of minutes a
Glades Electric truck happened by
and he saw something out of the
corner of his eye and he turned
around also toKinvestigate. There
was a car off the road and through
my neighbor's fence. There have
been many accidents on Loblolly
Bay Road in the six years I have
lived here and this is the third in
this immediate location. This one.
and another one, also around mid-
night, involved just one vehicle.
The other two accidents also were
one car accidents. In the two that I
investigated and called 911 drunk
Hispanics were involved. In both
accidents a similar chain of events
occurred. I could not even com-
municate with them because I
could not understand the lan-
guage they were using. As soon as
the occupants found out that the
authorities were notified and that
help was on the way the occu-
pants fled the scene. These three
guys ran into the swamp and dis-
appeared after they grabbed some
items in the car and removed the
tag.
Within minutes after the
deputy arrived the identification of
the owner was found with the VIN
number. Deputies arrived. Fire-
men arrived. EMS arrived. No
occupants. The occupants had a
registered tag but have no insur-
ance and no driver's license.
I have a problem! I cannot drive
my vehicle without insurance, a
driver's license and tags. I cannot
drive a vehicle while intoxicated. If
I leave the scene of an accident, I
am criminally charged with an
offense. I am fined. I am put in jail.
If an EMS response is required I
am charged for their time. As a His-
panic in the past few weeks I have
discovered that you do not have to
be a United States tax paying citi-
zen to have more rights than a law
abiding United States tax paying
citizen. You do not have to have
insurance or abide by the laws.
You do not get arrested. You can
protest that your rights have been
violated. You can cut class in
school without penalty. You can
stay home from work without fear
of losing your job. In fact, if you are
a United States tax paying citizen
and in the majority you have no
rights!
In the accidents that happened
just in this few hundred feet of
road way if these people had hit an
innocent law abiding United States
tax paying citizen guess who
would have been harmed and end
up paying the bill? It does not take
a rocket scientist to answer that
question. When you go to the
LaBelle post office and the line is
held up because a non-English


speaking person was at the count-
er trying to get a money order so it
could be sent tax-free to the rela-
tives in Mexico and they get all of
the courtesy and help in the world
and when you get to the counter a
United States tax paving citizen
cannot get the time of day. I vould
say something may be out of kilter.
I am not a "politically correct" kind
of a person. I am not prejudiced.
The last time I looked up the defi-
nition of prejudice it said some-
thing about a preconceived false
impression or a distorted fact
about some one or something.
For the first 200 years of the his-
tory of the United States we had no
immigration problems. Anyone
that came to the United States was
a guest. Theywere treated as such.
They abided by the rules and if
they did not follow the rules they
were deported. Only a law abiding
tax paying United States citizen
had any rights at all period. If an
alien wanted and in the old days
they %wanted citizenship in the
United States there was a long and
tortuous tangle of red tape rules
and regulations that had to be
adhered to in order to become a
United States tax paying, law abid-
ing citizen. When I went to school
my class rooms averaged 35 to 45
students and we had no air condi-
tioning in the summer and the
heat was hit and miss in the winter
but no matter when you walked
into that class room there was
never more than one teacher with
no aides and you could always
hear a pin drop. They learned and
spoke the English language.
You could go into a store and
they would not stand and clutter
the aisles while speaking a lan-
guage you could not understand
and they showed courtesy by mov-
ing aside so you.could get past
them. Of course, old people do the.
same things these days. Many of
the past immigrants even went
proudly to war against their own
homeland to defend the rights of
the Unites States tax paying, law
abiding citizen. They did not
demand that they have their own
county inside the boundaries of
these United States of America.
For 200 years foreign countries
respected and went out of their
way to protect a citizen of the Unit-
ed States of America. For 200 years
foreigners respected the privilege
to visit the United States of Ameri-
ca. Today the aliens.expect you to
"kiss their butt" when they are
here. After all, they have their
rights. In the past 25 to 50 years the
ACLU and the "politically correct"
politicians have completely
changed the face of America.
I should like to point out a fact
that every one seems to have over
looked. Never in the history of civi-
lization has a service oriented
country ever been a world power!
In fact any nation that has ever
been a world power or any coun-
try that has ever been a strong
dominant force has been a self
contained industrially oriented
country able to manufacture what
they needed to control their own
destiny. They always had the tech-
nology to support it.


They were always the leader.
They were never the follower.
They were always the example.
They were never the imitator. They
never cared what the other coun-
ties thought or did. They did not
have to because e\ery one wanted
to be like them. For 200 years we
were that bright and shining exam-
ple. It has only been 25-50 years
since we have started to reverse
and un-do everything that our par-
ents and grandparents and great-
grandparents did to build this
country to what it was.
In case you have not noticed
we are now a service based coun-
try. We no longer are a manufac-
turing country and now we even
allow other countries to do the


developing and building of every-
thing from transportation, com-
munications and automation and
then some. We are on a slippery
slope and I do not think we can
stop the slide because we no
longer have the ethics and the
stomach of our founding fathers. I
do not know if we are coming to a
cliff or just a pile of rocks and trees
at the bottom of the hill we are on
but one thing is certain. It is the
sudden stop at the. end that is most
painful and if the past 25 years are
any indication of how fast we are
traveling that sudden stop is going
to be here shorty.
Respectfully,
FranKoebert, Tax payer, U. S.

with about 300 acres of cash pro-
ducing cropland and cattle. The
farmland had become worth
quite a bit of money due to
encroaching housing develop-
ment. They had one son who was
very irresponsible and had been a
poor student in high school. The,
mother died first. Then the father
died of cancer. Prior to his death,
the father went to a Trust Compa-
ny in Silver Spring, Maryland and
with his attorney and trust officer
set up everything as follows.
If the son, now, in his early
twenties, would manage the farm
completely, and maintain it thor-
oughly until the age of thirty, he
would inherit it outright with no
limitations. If he was unsuccess-
ful in maintaining the farm and
paying all the bills with the farm
income, the Trust Department at
their sole discretion, was to give
everything to the American Can-
cer Society. In death, the father
was teaching his son to do what
he could not teach him to do dur-
ing his lifetime. When I met this
fellow he was 27 years old, it was
a Saturday, and he was up on a
ladder painting the side of a barn.
He had become responsible, and
threeyears later would inherit a
million dollar farm because of his
father's love. Do you have any
similar situations in your family?

Macy's drumbeat


Nicholas Hamilton-Proverbs, a
17-year-old junior at LaBelle High
School, has been chosen to play
in the 80th annual Macy's Thanks-
giving Day Parade in New York
City. Nicholas plays the tuba and
is also a drum major in the
LaBelle High School band. He
submitted an audition DVD along
with a picture to Tuba Titans in
New York about a month ago. He
received his acceptance letter or
invitation to play in the parade last
Wednesday. A combined total of
300 tuba players and drummers
will make up the Tuba Titans
Band. The band will be led by
Tuba Titans' Director of Music and
lead Director Dr. Joe Haneman.
The band has been promised a
full performance spot on live tele-
vision during the parade. This will
be the first year for the Tuba
Titans to play in the Thanksgiving
Day Parade. The itinerary for the
band includes a five-day stay in
the city. The band will arrive right


in the heart of the Big Apple on
Sunday, November 19, at the
Sheraton Manhattan Hotel. The
Sheraton is the official headquar-
ters for the parade and is located
by Times Square, Central Park,
Rockefeller Center, Broadway
theaters and much more.
On Monday, November 20, the
band will have a mandatory
rehearsal right after breakfast in
front of passing spectators. After 2
p.m., the band members and
their families are free to enjoy all
that New York has to offer. Tues-
day will be much like Monday
with a rehearsal following a tour
of the city. On Wednesday, how-
ever, the Tuba Titans will have
their world premier on the Today
Show. The Thanksgiving Day
Parade will air on Thursday,
November 23, in the morning
from 9 a.m.-noon. The band will
say farewell to New York City by
noon on Friday and will make
their return home.

Citrus industry is a major factor in watershed questions


By Patty Brant
"A day without orange juice is
like a day without sunshine."
We've all heard that. It's one.of
Florida citrus' most famous
advertising slogans. Perhaps the
only liquid more important to
Florida is water. But how do cit-
rus and water affect each other?
Are these two liquid powerhous-
es compatible?
They are competitors for the
state's water supplies to be sure
supplies, that are becoming
more stressed by pollutants and
demanding populations every
year.
The citrus industry has been a
major factor in Florida's econo-
my, along with other agricultural
crops. Perhaps citrus, though,
says "Florida" louder and clearer
than any other agricultural com-
modity.
Although there were groves
deep in South Florida as early as
the 1890s, the citrus industry
really became established in the
Lake Placid area in the 1940-50s.
In the five-county Gulf, Citrus
Region, including Hendry,
Glades, Lee, Charlotte and Col-
lier counties, citrus accounts for
a total of 169,386 acres. The vast
majority (93,155 acres) are in
Hendry County. Collier has the
next largest acreage in citrus,
with 34,878; 'followed by Char-
lotte with 20,183, Lee with
11,067 and Glades with 10,103
acres. The number of citrus trees
planted in each county is stag-
gering: (1,000 trees) Hendry has
14,298.1; Collier has 5,101.1;
Charlotte has 2,998.9; Lee has
1,640.9 and Glades has 1,549.2.
The region accounts for about
25 percent of the state's citrus
production, according to the
Gulf Citrus Growers Association.
As Florida's # cashcrop, cit-
rus generates about $1.5 billion
in revenue statewide on approxi-
mately 800,000 commercial
acres.
Citrus is just one of the many
competing interests stressing the
state's limited water resources.
As two of the area's top experts
in water, Dr. Sanjay Shukla and
Dr. Edward A. Hanlonof the Uni-
versity of Florida Institute of
Food and Agricultural Services
(IFAS) Southwest .Florida
Research Center in Immokalee
agree that everyone who uses
water in Florida must share in
the "pain" to solve the problem.
That "pain" will undoubtedly
include costs as well as changes
in lifestyle.
In this part of the state, the
Caloosahatchee Watershed
keeps the water flowing.
A watershed is an area of land
that water flows across as it
moves toward a common body
of water, such as a stream, river,
lake or coast. From central Flori-
da, water flows southward, mov-
ing through the watershed to the
Caloosahatchee River and from
there to the Gulf of Mexico, pro-
viding life giving water to the
land, animals and humans alike.
All groundwater in Caloosa-
hatchee Basin drains to the river
eventually if not evaporated or
used by plants. It carries with it
nutrients and pollutants _that
eventually also end up in the
river if not removed beforehand.
Dr. Hanlon is a professor of
Soil and Water Science at the
IFAS Center. He's been involved
in the study for 22 years. Dr. San-
jay Shukla has been an Assistant
Professor in Agricultural and
Biological Engineering there for
six years.
The two men agree that the
problem of supplying fresh clean
water for all of this area's needs
can be solved, but the answer
will come only if we all change
the way we think about water
and are willing to pay the cost to


Total Maximum Daily Levels
One result of the federal Clean Water Act is that Total Maximum Daily Levels
(TMDL)of pollutants (in metric tons) that may be discharged into each body of
water are being developed for each body of water. Lake Okeechobee TMDLs
have been set and standards are currently being established for the Caloosa-
hatchee River. This is one way that the Department of Agriculture and Con-
sumer Services and the Department of Environmental Protection can work
together with ag as problem solvers.


pi ie l I I.
For citrus growers, that cost
now includes implementing Best
Management Practices (BMPs).
Just a few months ago, a system
of BMPs for the Gulf Citrus area
was established. It is the third cit-
rus BMP area to be set up, fol-
lowing Indian River and Peace
River. A cooperative effort of.
multiple citrus-related groups
including Gulf Citrus Growers
Assoc., IFAS, South Florida
Water Management District.
Charlotte Harbor, Farm Bureau,
Florida Citrus Mutual Fresh from
Florida and National Resources
Conservation Services came
together to forge Ihe system of
voluntary, procedures. These
BMPs are a set of scientifically-
scrutinized methods aimed at
improved water quality, which
are economical for the grower
and produce practical results, Dr.
Shukla explained.
Growers' operations were vis.
ited by a BMP committee of
IFAS, the Department of Agricull
ture and Consumer Services and
the Department of Environmen-
tal Protection. They explained,
the options available to each and
made suggestions to customize
BMPs for their individual opera-
tion.
These BMPs look at four
areas:
e Water Management
Erosion Control and Sedi-
ment Management
Pest Management
Nutrient Management
Once a grower signs off on
the document, they are pre-
sumed to be in compliance with
regulations. Therefore, if a prob-
lem exists' with water quality,
growers who have not yet signed
off on it will be looked at first as
the possible source of pollution.
The burden will be on them to
show that their runoff is not
harmful to the environment.
This monitoring is costly and
time consuming, making it
much more attractive to growers
to sign on to these environmen-
tally sound practices.
BMPs hanile Nvaler quality by
keeping water on the farm or
grove for an extended period
where it is filtered through the
soil several times. It then can be
used again by agriculture or be
diverted for urban uses.
The integration of BMPs into
the citrus industry is an impor-
tant step forward. "BMPs are
"useful common sense tech-
niques that are directed at.
enhancing and protecting water
quality," according to Florida
Department of Agriculture and


Consumer Services Commis-
sioner, Charles H. Bronson.
Although agriculture gets
much of the blame for pollution,
Dr. Shukla said Florida's farmers
actually do a very good job of
cleaning up the nutrients they
add to the land. BMPs are just the
newest part of that.
Agriculture also gets tagged
as being a heavy water user, pos-
sibly because citrus and cattle
are the largest land area in
Southwest Florida. However,
according to Dr. Shukla, about
40 percent of the total water
used to Irrigate citrus returns to
recharge the aquifer a similar
percentage as irrigation water
from row crops. He points out
that it's an important way that.
agriculture serves society.
Irrigation water filters into the
soil, and is purified as it makes
its way to the ground w\aler, ulti-
mately to supply water for every-
one. In fact, open areas of all
types, known as critical ground-
water recharge areas, help water
return to the aquifer. That does-
n't :happen in urban areas,
where the lane is "protected" by
concrete and human structures
and water runs off..
Most citrus operations in the
Caloosahatchee Basin use
impoundment areas (storm
\ ater impoundments, reservoirs
and farm ponds), a requirement
of South Florida Water Manage-
ment District that helps prevent
downstream flooding.
Dr. Hanlon is putting forth his
idea that water from these
impoundments could be used to
irrigate crops and sold to water
utilities, reimbursing the
landowner for costs incurred. In
that way, they would become
integral parts of the water utility
system.
These impoundment ponds
are a maximum of two feet
deep, storing an inch of
stormwater, and are situated all
over the watershed. They are
Seffectivye,it cleaning our water,
Dr. Shukla explained. Holding
water on the land is a benefit
because it stays in the watershed
longer and results in better quali-
ty water through natural filtra-
tion. Known as the distributed
reservoir concept, it adds no cost
to society. They are already there
so growers don't have to invest
funding to put them in or take
more land out of productive use,
and local governments won't
lose land from their tax roles.
Currently, test cells for the C-
43 Reservoir just west of LaBelle,
are under construction. This


reservoir is not intended as a
water source, but is to hold
water to minimize discharges,
overflow and surges downriver
to the estuary. Such reservoirs
have a high construction cost to
the taxpayer and take land off
tax roles.

Chelsa is off to North Carolina


Caloosa Belle/Donna Meister
Mom Tina Caudill, Ryan and Dad John Caudill may not look
it in this photo; however they are extremely happy Ryan will
Sbe headed to Culver-Stockton College, in Canton, Missouri.


Ryan Caudill is

headed to Missouri


By Donna Meister
Coach Ron Dunbar has to
sleep well at night knowing he
has done all that he can do for his
LaBelle athletes. Coach Dunbar
and the LaBelle teaching staff are
pleased to see so many LaBelle
High School athletes receive
scholarships this year and to
decide to continue on with their
educations. The student's success
is their success. That's what it's all
about; his job is to motivate the
kids and it's his way of giving
back, Coach Dunbar said. He
added that his mentor was Bo
Davidson, father of his best friend
Craig. Bo Davidson was the one
who encouraged him to pursue a
college football career. If it had
not been for all the help and
encouragement he received, said
Dunbar, he would be pumping
gas somewhere.
Dunbar said, "Ryan Caudill has
proved himself as a fine football
player who did not seem to
receive the opportunities to earn
the respect that he should have.
With quick feet, he played defen-


sive end, full back and wherever
the team needed him. He was a
hard worker and it's all on his
table now." It's possible that he
could find himself in the punter
spot at Culver Stockton during his
first year. Also, he hopes to.room
with his best buddy J.B. Hull, who
will also be in his first year at Cul-
ver Stockton.
Ryan said, "I could not have
done it without the help of Coach
Dunbar and all the other coaches.
He was my coach, teacher, men-
tor and boss." Ryan was a worker
in Mr. Dunbar's work program.
Ryan also wanted to thank LHS
teacher Patrick O'Bannon, who
was the first to encourage him to
play football and to also choose
Culiver Stockton, his own alma
mater.
At 6 foot and 220 pounds, Ryan
enjoys baseball, tennis and golf.
Ryan earned a 3.5 grade point
average at LaBelle High School.
His plans are .to pursue a degree
in education. He would like to
teachhigh school classes and also
to coach football some day.


By Donna Meister
Coach Dunbar called Chelsa a
silent leader, who the other players
looked up to. "Being the tremendous
athlete that she is, she was stretched
thin at the high school, playing vol-
leyball, basketball and track. She has
given everything that she has and will
now be able to concentrate on one
sport at college. She will be very suc-
cessful", said the coach.
During this year's volleyball sea-
son she was selected 4A District
player of the year and was also
selected for an All State team
award. She received an Honorable
Mention for basketball. Five foot ten
inch Chelsa, threw discus and ran
relays on the track team. Area track
awards have not been tallied as yet.
Chelsa has decided to pursue a
nursing degree at UNC Pembroke,
just 30 minutes from Fayetteville and
15 minutes from Lumberton in North
Carolina. The college has an excel-
lent nursing program and is affiliated
with its own brand new hospital. She
carried a 4.2 weighted grade point
average and a 3.7 un-weighted GPA
at LaBelle High School.
Chelsa spoke fondly and emo-
tionally of her coach, 4A District
Coach of the Year, Lori Langford-
Perkins, saying she was tough on
her, in a good way, but was also
like a friend. Coach Langford
Perkins said that Chelsa always
worked very hard for her both in
basketballandvolley.
Chelsa's parents support her
decision 100 percent. They are very
proud of their daughter, the hard
v'ork and dedication she has put in
and also remarked what an all
around great kid their daughter is.
Older brother, Jordan, also a
graduate of LHS, is now a junior at
the University of Tennessee study-
ing agriculture and economics.
"The University of Tennessee is
where his heart told him to go,"
laughed Kathy Causseaux.


Norris to compete at regional meet


On Tuesday, April 11, the
LaBelle High School girl's track
team traveled to Golden Gate High
School Naples for the District 12
track meet, which brings together
all of the member schools in dis-
trict 12 for their annual track and
field competition. It is the first stop
on the road to the state champi-
onship finals in Jacksonville.
Brooke Norris was the star ath-
lete for LaBelle, as she was second
in the 800-meter run and advanced
to regional competition 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 finish-
ing girl's 1600-meter, relay team.
Only the top four teams go, so this
group barely missed advancing in


this event. The team includes
Brooke, Chelsa Causseaux, Jordan
Walls and Jania Thompson. Also
earning points for the LHS team
was the girl's 400-rheter relay team
whose members included Brook,
Jania Thompson, Brittany Gallegos
and Chelsa Causseaux.
On April 7, LHS hosted its annu-
al Cowboy Invitational Track Meet.
Six area high schools joined your in
for a great afternoon of track and
field competition. Over 150 athletes
- some of the very best in southwest
Florida- participated in this event.
The star of the meet was Brooke
Norris. 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 team.


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 member 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 LHS athletes
scoring points included Ashley
Pittman, Jania Thompson, Elyssa
Grant and Chelsa Causseaux.
Coach Mel Greenleaf said, "A
special thanksgoes out to our Tie-
Dye timing crew in their new red
shirts. This group has been with us
for several years and continues to
do a great job."


Caloosa Belle/Donna Meister
Mom Kathy, Chelsa, Dad Kevin Causseaux, in back, brother
Brennan and Coach Lori Langford Perkins. All are excited for
Chelsa, and her decision to continue her education at UNC
Pembroke a division II school.

Grand ending!

I Only two players in major league histo-
ry t ave hit home runs before the age ofI
S20 and after age 40. One waste I
immortal Ty Cobb, considered by many'1
to be the game's greatest hitter, with an I
ill rimm 1,-h CjKrr batting average of I
I ,`'c6 Thi, hAll ot tamer cracked two I
I homers as a teenager with Detroit, then I
I hit six more after 40 with the A's. I
Can you guess who the other one was? I
The answer is Rusty Staub, who blasted I
I six homers as a teenager with Houston, I
Then two after age 40 with the New
I York Mets. I

Only one pitcher in big league history
surrendered more than 300 home runs,
yet never gave up a grand slam. Canyou
name him? The pitcher was Baltimore
Orioles hall of famer Jim Palmer, who
allowed 303 total home runs over the
course of his career, but not a single
grand slam. Palmer's mark stands alone
by a long shot. In fact, the only other
pitcher in major league historyto allow
even'200 home runs without surrender-
ing a slam was Harvey Haddix, who
spent most of his years with Pittsburgh.
IThese days, many golfers on the PGA
Tour carry snacks such as fresh-fruit in
their bags in case they need a quick
energy boost, but that wasn't always so.
It actually started with Al Geiberger,
who used to run to a concession stand
during a lull in the action because he
had low blood sugar. But during an
event, in 1965, Geiberger was paired
with quick-hitting Arnold Palmer and
couldn't find time to hit a snack bar. He
saw his wife making a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich or their daughter,
and the rest is history. Geiberger
munched his pb&j's en routeto the 1966
PGA Championship, and the golf world
took notice. In fact, Skippy signed him
to an endorsement dea that lasted 37
years.

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

Runoff which is stored in

eventually discharged into a
swale, ditch, then a canal and
the river has environmental ben-
efits similar to a wetland, eventu-
ally discharged into the river. By
the time it gets to the river, most
of the sediment has been
retained in the impoundment.
Dr. Shukla admits he has no data
on water quality going to the
river from impoundments at this

the nitrogen and phosphorous it
carried has been filtered out by
that time. Water that still con-

nutrients can be reused on
crops.
Dr. Hanlon's idea is not to
divide agriculturists, urbanites
and environmentalists. We all
need to learn what is best for the
entire system, he points out,
adding that discharging runoff
down the river is not only a
waste, but can be harmful to the
environment. Instead, that water
could be sold for urban use, uti-
lizing Dr. Shukla's research and
changing the way we think
about water.
Dr. Hanlon's concept involves
a closed cycle, much like the rain
cycle water falls from clouds as
rain, is absorbed into the ground
and eventually ends up in the
ocean where it evaporates back
into the atmosphere.
In Dr. Hanlon's cycle, runoff is


stored in agricultural impound-
ments for an alternative water
supply program. The runoff is fil-
tered naturally through a series
of impoundments. It would then
be collected at a water purifica-
tion facility. From there some
will be returned to the impound-
ments for agricultural use or go
through additional treatment for
urban use. (See graphic of Dr.
Hanlon's concept.)
Detention/retention ponds
may also be used for mitigation
of endangered species..
A pilot study is under way
now for the Okeechobee Basin,
Dr. Shukla said, in which will pay
ranchers to save water.
Dr. Hanlon sees pitfalls in
some other proposals for water
management. He cautions that
we need to make sure short term

answers don't cause, a problem
in the long run. By 2050, he said,
water supply plants are expected
to draw from the Floridan
aquifer, which is brackish/saline
and requires the use of expen-
sive reverse osmosis to clean.
Instead, he reasons, we should
think ahead and use water fil-
tered naturally through a system
of ponds that would make its
way over time down to the west
coast, or could be pushed along
faster through a pipeline. Dr.
Hanlonr is sure that "water har-
vesting for agricultural lands is
the ticket." "It's cheaper. It's nat-
ural. It makes sense," he points
out, adding that such a system
might need pumps and a filter
system to actually work as utility
company infrastructure.
Using water as a commodity,


providing an additional capital
source for farmers, could drive
the system, he feels.
Dr. Shukla believes everyone
in the watershed area is part of
the problem, and therefore
needs to be part of the solution.
He believes we should "keep
agriculture in agriculture" the
more of the Caloosahatchee
Watershed that becomes urban,
the less is in agriculture and
wildlife which can actually
improve the state's water situa-
tion. He feels growers should be
helped to meet the challenge of
a clean environment using
changing regulations while
remaining competitive.
Ron Hamil, Executive Direc-
tor of Gulf Citrus Growers Asso-
ciation, points out that the citrus
industry has survived hurri-

The industry is facing increasing
Pressures to practice ever.more

positive actions at a more

mental leadership. BMPs, he
said, can save costs to growers
and result in higher productivity.
Drs. Hanlon and Shukla point
out that development exacer-
bates water problems, saying
everybody relies on groundwa-
ter but not everybody recharges
the groundwater the way agri-
culture does.

County's vision process is complete


By Patty Brant
The Hendry County of the future
enjoys green spaces, plenty of ocean
water, recreation, great schools,
uncluttered roads, a variety of good
housing and a bustling economy in
safe, healthy communities. It will
incorporate the best of the past
with the best development has to
offer at least if residents who took
part in the county's visioningg"
process have their dreams come
true.
The final visioningg" workshop
for Hendry County took place April
13 at the LaBelle Civic Center with
residents trying to fill in any blanks
left from the previous meetings.
Residents offered their input into
the most important needs in each
category. The first meetings were
held in February, one in Clewiston
and one in LaBelle. The third meet-
ing was in Clewiston last month
with-the wrap up last week in
LaBelle to add last minute details.
The resulting "vision" is to be used
as a guide for decision makers as
developments takes hold in this
rural community. The final docu-
ment will be available online at
consensus.fsu.edu/heartland in
about a month.
The document was broken
down into the following categories.

Development
With regard to development,
residents want to make sure impact
fees are sufficient to provide educa-
tion, fire protection, roads, law
enforcement and recreation. The
next most important issue was
making sure green space is incor-
porated and then that the cities and
county coordinate planning. Peo-
ple also hope to preserve agricul-
ture in Hendry County.
They want better regulation and
enforcement of building and zoning
laws and codes and a cleanup or
removal of substandard trailer parks..
Infrastructure needs were-
topped by water and sewer,
stormwater management and put-
ting utilities underground. People
also want more retail businesses
(restaurants, grocery stores, and so
on) with larger retail stores kept on
the outskirts, not in residential areas.
Other important points in this
category were: downtown redevel-
opment for local communities,
landscaping for downtown areas
and preservation of public spaces


Hendry County
Population: 39,476 now; 51,400 by
2020
Average income: $26,487
Per capital income: $19,461
Cost of living: 95.25%
Unemployment rate: 8%
Taxable value listing: 25th in rural
counties
and visual anchors.
In residential development, resi-
dents want to promote quality
mixed use developments and cus-
ter developments with preservation
areas. The feel large developments
should provide parallel roads to
preserve level of service on main
roads.

Housing
Affordable housing was an
important issue for residents to sup-
ply single and multi-family housing
for the workforce, low income fam-
ilies and seniors. There is also a
need for good rental property and
housing within close proximity to
jobs,people feel.
In general there should be avari-
ety of housing and affordable
options to mobile homes no trail-
er parks in the cities

Transportation
Expanding SR 80 to four lanes
should continue and a truck route
should be built around Clewiston
and LaBelle. They also want bike
paths and sidewalks.
People also expressed a need to
identify future high traffic corridors
-and acquire the right-of-way now
to minimize future costs. SR 29 will
be huge clog after the Town of Ave
Maria and university area built, so
people feel it's important to four
lane SR 29 to 1-75 and also the one-
mile stretch of SR 82 in Hendry.
Public transportation needs to
be addressed. People learned that a
bus line is opening a route from
West Palm Beach to Fort Myers
with stops in Clewiston and
LaBelle.

Economy
Residents want to diversify the
local economy by attracting indus-
try and new business; preserve his-
toric downtown; offer incentive
plans to attract business and help
existing businesses; and develop


ecotourism. Although one element
on the list is to preserve agriculture,
it was noted that international pres-
sures depressing agriculture are out
of local control. However, locals
should make use of avenues to
influence national leaders wherev-
er possible.
Development of the new
Clewiston Commerce Park and
promotion of Airglades Industrial
Park are cited as important. The
need to provide utilities, roads and
other infrastructure in order to
attract business was also noted.

Natural environment
Main topics here include clean-
ing up Lake Okeechobee, preserv-
ing open space, getting federal and
state assistance for water storage
and quality improvement, as well
as the creation of greater access to
natural areas. People also wanted
to see the development of Best
Management Practices (BMPs) for
development with federal/state
matches. It was also felt that land
purchased by the state for panther
habitat should be made available
for economic use.

Health care
Although the Clewiston area felt
it is well covered in health care, the
western side of the county residents
feel the need to attract doctors; pos-
sible an area health education cen-
ter. A new regional hospital and
more use of telemedicine are also
important goals.

Education
This much work to be done in
this category, too, including recruit-


ing qualified teachers and offering
good salaries. People want to
enhance the arts and culture locally,
offer computer training, environ-
mental and health education and
identify sites for future schools.
There is also a need for apprentice-
ships and mentorships to help
youth develop a better vision of the
world, some felt.

Culture, recreation
This category could be
improved with downtown walking
areas with theaters, better use of
the Nature Park and museums.
People also want to preserve the
Indian, cattle and sugar heritage of
the county.

Recreation
This should focus on the river,
lakes and park activities, as well as
creating facilities for young adults
and teens, a family rec center and
expansion of the Nature Park.

Public safety
In this category, the county will
soon need to move the jail and pro-
vide space for a new judge as well
as bring salaries up commensurate
with surrounding areas.

Emergency
management
A new Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) is currently in Gover-
nor Bush's budget, thanks to a visit
here after Hurricane Wilma when
he was appalled to see the condi-
tions emergency personnel work
under. The hope is also to promote
regional planning for emergencies.

LHS classmates still


By Frieda Bullington


In March of 1964, I went to
work for Intercounty Telephone
and Telegraph Company in Ft.
Myers which was United Tele-
phone Company, and is now
Sprint, As the years came and went
I began thinking more and more
about old classmates, where they
were and how they were doing.
As I approached retirement I
said to myself, "when I retire I'm
going back home to LaBelle and
round up my classmates and have a
class reunion. My class had never
had a reunion. I contacted some of
them when I retired in May of 1989.
Some classmates including Peggy
Barnes Taylor, Frank Powers and
Bobby Burchard came to my house
in Muse to discuss the coming
reunion. That started the ball rolling.
We got word out and started calling
one, and then the other and having
them do the same and then in Feb-
ruary of 1990 we had our first
reunion at my house. I managed to
locate 8 of the 15 graduates of 1953
including James Polk, wife Beverly,
Corrine Tillet Palmer, Perry Ballard,
wife Jewell, Robert Easterly, wife
Lorretta Ballard, Frank Powers,
Ronald Hisler, wife Dorothy, Robert
Toney, wife Betty, Gene Crawford,
wife Linda, Peggy Barnes Taylor,
Tommy Taylor, Roy Moon, Aggie
Stewart Moon. Ann Reckwerdt
Cook, Ora Cook and myself.
The second was a bit larger
with 50 people. We decided we
wanted more of our school mates
to join us. So we decided to have
everyone that attended LaBelle
High School anytime from the

beginning of LHS, up through the
1950s. So I began researching
.some more. I called everyone or
anyone else I could think of and
spread the word. It began to grow
more and more each year. We now
have some graduates from the
1930s, 1940s 1950s and so on
through the early 1960s.
Some of the school mates didn't
graduate for one reason or anoth-
er, or moved away, but we all went
to school at one time or another
together. It is so good to see each
other at least once year, and more
often when we can.
Along the way, we had some of
our teachers including: Edith Mag-
ill, math teacher, Irma Delaney,
English teacher, Coach Glen
Hollingsworth, Bob Williams, PE.
teacher, Loren E. O'Neal, Agricul-
ture teacher, and Norma Jean Eur-
ton, RE. teacher stop by. It is always
good to have the teachers here to
keep us in line as they did in school!.
Each year the reunion grows. The
most we've had at one time was
about 120 people. I had them all at
my house in Muse until I moved to
Maple Corner in 2002, and now the
last five years have been in the
Maple Corner Club House.
We just had our 17th reunion
on March 11, and we had 89 peo-
ple attending. We have lost many
teachers and classmates since we
started in 1990. We did have two
teachers this year, Coach Glen
Hollingworth, who coached LHS in
1948-1951. He now lives in N. Ft.
Myers with his wife Virginia Wal-
dron Hollingsworth, and Norma
Jean Eurton, who coached from
1951-52 at LHS and now lives in

Tennessee. It has been an annual
occasion held the second Saturday
in March each year and we hope to
have many more.
We have been so lucky to have
"Chef James Polk to cook the meat
every year. He seems to cook it to
perfection every time. Without him
I don't know what we would do. A
big thanks to him from us all!

American Legion Riders from Post 130 had a great day April 23 with their poker run. They
started off with a leisurely ride around the area picking up poker hands as they went, then
everyone zoomed back to the post for some lively motorcycle games and refreshments.
Everyone had a great time and raised money for the kids in LaBelle.

'The Ranch' tells Hilliard


By Donna Storter
Review of 'The Ranch' Hilliard
Brothers of Florida" by Joe Marlin
Hilliard with Barbara Oehlbeck.
Succinctly stated, Hilliard
Brothers of Florida's creation of its
mega-enterprise agricultural
empire was based on three things:
character, intelligence, and oppor-
tunity.
Those words were used by an
agricultural corporate officer
recounting his 45-year association
with the Hilliards as told in "The
Ranch"; the integrity of those traits
is carried on now in a third Hilliard
generation.
"The Ranch" is rich in history,
not only of a great family, but of
cattle ranching and multiple farm-
ing industries covering a span of
nearly a century. From Mr.
Hilliard's recount of his grandfa-
Sther's move from Fort Basinger to
Forn Myers in April 1906, all the way
through to more than 75 narra-
tions of his professional associates,
-employees, friends and family,
'"The Ranch" is much more than
just a historical chronicle. Its testi-
mony of true Florida pioneering
spirit vibrantly brings to life leg-
ends of people, places and times;
and events that will never be dupli-
cated.
Pioneer ranchers acquiring
close to a hundred square miles of


land- mostly in Hendry County,
Florida, brothers Joe Alexander
Hilliard and Marlin W. Hilliard
were "conservative environmen-
talists" long before that phrase was
coined. Innovative, setting high
standards of excellence in their
own personal principles and work
ethics, both men, highly intelligent
with innate and diverse business
acumen, left a monumental legacy
of dedication and ingenuity.
Son/nephew Joe Marlin Hilliard
has excelled in amplifying those
characteristics and with much
hard work has expanded the
estate to the status of 27 corporate
entities with properties and inter-
ests in more than four states. .Yet
the down-to-earth realness of
these three men is so evident in the
witness of their peers who include
friends, neighbors, employees
(including former) pilots, farmers,
partners, legislators, accountants,
lawyers and family doctors. .
"The Ranch" is embellished
chronologically in over 400 hun-
dred photographs, many in full
color depicting the natural beauty
of Hopedelagee, Dinner Island,
Gun-Shy and the entire ranch and
farming operations: dated from
1918 through 2004 you will find
rodeo bulls, cane fields, farming
equipment, cattle round-ups, -cit-
rus, wine and gun collections,
family, friends hunting and party-


ing, trophy mounts of deer and elk,
political figures, showcase man-
sions, cowpens and miles of
fences, wild game and animals
enjoying the yet unspoiled beauty
of Hilliard's Ranch. Evident from
his youth, the handsome face of
Joe Marlin Hilliard depicts inten-
sive intelligence. The photo collec-
tion alone affords reflection of a
unique part of Florida few every
see.
Mr. Hilliard's choice of writing
with author Barbara Oehlbeck
proved wise as she related and
transcribed dozens of interviews
with folks more than willing to
expound on their relationship with
the Hilliards. The dominant theme
was respect and appreciation. Mrs.
Oehlbeck captured the personality
of each story-teller, even to making
their conversations come alive
using phonetic spelling of their
speech vernacular. Stories of
rounding up cattle with Jeeps,
eradicating screw-worms and
deer ticks, 50-cents an acre land
purchases, tragic losses, letters of
loyalty, 18 miles of canal digging
and more too numerous to list, all
will engage the reader's interest.
Joe Marlin Hilliard is well
known, admired, respected and
influential in wide political circles
across all party affiliations. Local,
state and national elected officials
are included in the interviews,


Is' story

which comprise much of the nar-
ration of "The Ranch."
He is (almost singly) responsi-
ble for the innovation of sugar
cane harvesting when he thought
"outside the box" and went to Aus-
tralia for machinery, operators and
machinists who under his direc-
tion forever changed the econom-
ics and terrain of the sugar cane
industry. His creative adaptation
of equipment allows cultivation of
cane on sandlands in addition to
mucklands and eliminated the
expense of importing and housing
foreign laborers to harvest cane.
With his beautiful wife Barbara,
Joe Marlin has earned a reputation
of, extreme generosity. The family
tradition of "working hard" and
"giving back" has been instilled in
a third generation Hilliards: Joe
Marlin Hilliard II, Mary Beth
Hilliard Carroll and Bryan Reed
Hilliard, all three of whom are
engaged in full participation in
Hilliard Brothers of Florida.
Whether or not you have ever
lived or worked on a ranch you
will be intrigued, educated and
entertained and you will want to
thank Joe Marlin Hilliard for pro-
ducing "The Ranch." And you'll
wish you could go back in time
and visit Marlin and Joe A.
The book is available from the
Hilliards by calling 863.983.2481.
