Individual Voices. Ill 1111111 111111 8 16510 00019 1 By Patty Brant City commissioners have backed up a step from their deci- sion to phase out mobile homes from the Pinewood and Engle- wood neighborhoods. At least, they have provided an alternative for residents who cannot afford to build a home. Residents in those neighborhoods may seek a special exception to replace a mobile home with another mobile home there. The uproar began last month when Diego By Patty Brant Hendry and Glades counties are increasingly realizing the depth of their interconnected- ness as growth issues com- pound them. The May 2 joint workshop meeting highlighted the need to communicate on such important subjects as the LaBelle Bridge replacement, SR 80, SR 29 and CR 78 all com- mon transportation issues for Hendry and Glades. They are also tackling concurrency indi- vidually and understand the importance of each knowing what the other is doing to make the entire picture work. They are also planning to seek money from federal and state sources. Utilities are another area affecting both counties, particu- Marroquin, a Spanish-speaking resident, asked for permission to put a new mobile home he had just purchased on his property. Mr. Marroquin was not aware the area was recently rezoned to R-l, which does not allow mobile homes. The board considered the idea of a two-year sunset, during which mobile homes in that section could still be replaced by mobile homes, to alleviate any hardship that the rezoning would impose on resi- dents unable to afford a site-built larly in Port LaBelle. PLBU is approaching its capacity and plans are proceeding for a new water plant. PLBU serves a por- tion of Glades County as well as Hendry. The commissioners all signed on to the need for a uni- fied approach to plans, with more cooperation to cover common ground. Jack Zorn addressed the joint meeting on behalf of a coalition of property owners in Glades (Ranchettes, villas and condos) and Hendry County (POA Units 5, 4 and Country Village) who wish to see the return of the old Oxbow Golf Course. He hopes to limit the density of new construction in the area. See Meeting Page 2 home. At the May 11 meeting, the board heard from a number of neighborhood residents who complained that they did not know either about the pending zoning change until just last month. With so many residents complaining that they did not receive proper notification of the proposed zoning change, com- missioners stepped back even further, opting to allow residents of Pinewood and Englewood to replace an old mobile home with BIG CATCH: Shark could be a record breaker By Patty Brant News travels fast in LaBelle. By the time James Holland and Andy Whitbred got to the truck scales on SR 29 Wednesday, May 10, folks were already hanging around, waiting to get a good look at what might just be a record setting shark. The two fishermen, both charter boat captains, were off for the day and decided to go shark fishing. In fact, they actu- ally had it in their heads to catch a record-breaker and they did! The fish tipped the certified scale at the truck weigh station on Main Street at 740 pounds - subtracting ten pounds for the rope and hook (ten pounds is the minimum graduation on the scale) they easily beat the current record of 620-pounds on 80-pound test. The big fish measured 13'4." James an'd Andy sHie- horned the huge fish into the bed of a pick up truck, wrapped in ice and a tarp, for the ride back to LaBelle from Boca Grande. They were fishing for shark in the Pass, watching all the other fishermen angling for tarpon, when the huge ham- merhead went for the 30- pound stingray they were using for bait. The shark took Andy's hook, but it was a few minutes before he knew something was wrong. Then the struggle was on. For two hours and three minutes, the hammerhead pulled their 26' Gause fishing boat before he tired out and could be landed. It took three men James, Andy and Owen Osborne, the owner of the boat, to muscle the hammerhead into the boat. According to International Game Fish Association (IGFA) rules governing a record-set- ting catch, no one but the fish- erman who snagged the fish may touch the pole except to land it. Then others can help bring it into the boat. James and another fisherman, Owen Osborne, who owns the boat they were fishing on that day, helped muscle the big catch a new one by special exception. Commissioner Paul Puletti pointed out that mobile home construction has improved and that they have also gone up in price, costing almost as much as site-built homes. LaBelle resident Jeff Lazar complained that, although pro- posed zoning changes are posted in the newspaper, the maps in those ads are hard to decipher and legal descriptions make it dif- ficult for residents to pinpoint the target area involved. Although noticing was appar- ently according to the letter of the law a proposed zoning change affecting over ten acres may be noticed through newspaper ads only it was apparent that resi- dents had not been aware of the intent to change zoning in those neighborhoods. One resident complained, "Nobody in our neighborhood knew about it," and others said the rezoning would present a See Ban -Page 2 Fire issues concern BOC By Kristin Hunter On Tuesday May 9, at 5 p.m. at the City Hall in Clewis- ton the County Commission- ers Meeting took place. Mr. Randy Bengston, Direc- tor of Public Safety says that Hendry County is at a Keetch- Byram Drought Index of 642. The index ranges from 0-800 with 0 being the most wet and 800 being the most dry. The Governor has declared a state of emergency due to fires because it's been so dry. The board agreed that there will be absolutely no burning. Exam- ples of fires lhat are banned include burning yard waste and trash or open campfires. This does not include any burning permitted by the Divi- Canarter oeal captains James nollan ana Anay wnlhDreo show off what they hope will be their record-breaking hammerhead shark. out of the water. A line of semis loaded with produce lined up behind the little pick-up with the big load. None complained at having to wait, though everybody was getting a kick out of such an unusual event. After weighing it in, they took the shark to Perkins Slaughterhouse to keep it cool while they decided what to do with it. They feel sure some- one will want to mount it - perhaps the new Bass Pro Shop coming to Fort Myers. The next day, James said, "We saw his 3-and-a-half to 4 foot dorsal fin and knew it was a whopper. We knew there were big ones out there, but wk didn't think he would be this big!" All three are charter boat captains, enjoying a day off fishing, of course. James said they went over IGFA rules "about 15 times" to make sure they did everything right. They don't know when they; will hear back After all was said and done, the fishermen were tired but happy. Catching a record ham- merhead is, after all, quite a day's work. You might think that, under the circumstances, sharks would be pretty special to them. But'James later con- fided, "I don't like sharks - they're scary." sion of Forestry (DOF). This ban is in effect until further notice. Hendry County is on high alert for fire danger. The main topic of the meet- ing was about the possibility that the Lake Okeechobee levee might not be able to withstand a hurricane and possible hurricane evacuation issues due to overcrowding on roads. Another important issue discussed is the possibility of City Mattress opening up a manufacturing plant in Clewiston, which will create 50-100 new jobs in the next three years. It is also expected to bring in other new busi- See Fire Page 2 Signs should slow boaters News flash for boaters who use the Okeechobee Waterway within Hendry and Glades counties: It's time to slow down and obey the signs or possibly receive a speeding ticket. Boaters on the Okeechobee Waterway during the upcoming week should notice newly- installed boating safety signage at the Moore Haven city docks, Clewiston lock structure and State Road 29 in LaBelle. Those uniform waterway markers are the culmination of a two-year project by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to replace and install markers in the two newly configured boating safety zones. The FWC worked closely with the U.S. Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District and con- sulted with city and county offi- cials to ensure boating safety concerns were properly addressed. "The signs should all be up by mid-June," FWC Capt. David Stermen said. "FWC officers will concentrate on an educational enforcement approach to allow boaters a chance to reacquaint themselves with the reported zones. But after that, those who ignore the speed regulations will risk being cited." As an added educational tool, brochures are in develop- ment that shows these areas. They will be available at local fish camps and FWC officers afterJune 1. caloosa Belle/Paty Brant Front row from left: Paul Beck, Alvin Ward, Janet Taylor and Darrell Harris.

Commissioner Puletti agreed that the board was "getting way ahead of the public they don't know what we're doing." Waterplant The board decided to move on with plans for a new waterplant, scaled back to only serve City of LaBelle residents. The board was reacting to the Hendry County Commission's refusal to sign on to a proposed interlocal agreement, which would have extended the city's utility district to a specified area outside the city limits. Next month the city commission will hear information that could lead to a decision on the construction and size of a new reverse osmosis water plant. Commissioner Puletti said its time to "take care of our folks," adding that anyone who wants city utilities could ask to be annexed into the city. Annexations The city commission approved a number of annexation requests, including: Barton, Mack-Brown, Pace, Duke Groves and Jeffrey Cross. All were approved, 3-1, with Commissioner Hilda Zim- merly dissenting. Commissioner Dave Lyons was not present. Commissioner Zimmerly pointed out that she is not against annexations, but that she believes there should be a moratorium on them till the city takes care of its Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant Mayor Randy Bengston presents a proclamation for National Nurses Week, May 8-12, to reg- istered nurses (from left) Patti Brownlee, health department, Linda Reecer and Olive Murray, HRMC, Susan Holland, health department and Juanita Barnhart, Children's Medical Service. residents' utility needs. Mayor Randy Bengston added that the city needs to develop a plan for its expansion. In other business: The board decided to apply for a grant to build docks along the river from the Barron Park House to the existing dock. HCSO Lt. Rick Waldron reported that the city collected $380 in traffic citations from Octo- ber 1 through April 11; 185 were moving violations and 195 were non-moving violations. The total number of complaints from with- in the city during that time was 2,535. He was asked to return next month with a comparison with last year's figures. The board decided to look into pulling in a dump site near the sewer plant to accommodate septic companies serving local residents. The board heard the first reading of an ordinance that, if passed, would provide mecha- nism to allow amusement-video arcades in areas zoned for busi- ness. A line against a LaBelle cou- ple who said an employee acci- dentally cut down a protected oak tree on their property will stand. Superintendent of Public Works Michael Boyle told the board that recent water restric- tions are working well during this time of drought and the tank level is remaining up. The board also opted to entertain special excep- lions to the city's new water restrictions for microjet watering systems on a case-by-case basis. The city will suspend land- scaping requirements for new\ construction until the drought is over. The city will take a look at making DeSoto a one way street from Park Ave. under bridge to cut down congestion. Commissioner Bob Miller noted that concrete has been poured on the north side ol the rodeo grounds and handicap access added. He also said they are moving dirt at the new soccer field. The next regular meeting of the city commission will be at 7 p.m. June 12 at City Hall. Fire Continued From Page 1 ness, which will springboard economic development. City Mattress is a well recognized business in Florida and has been in business for almost 50 years. City Mattress will pay good wages and be a good corporate partner for Clewiston and the surrounding area. This business may be a good investment and may provide a good tax return for the city of Clewiston. City Mattress would like to build a $6 million facility on approximately 30 acres of land in Clewiston cur- rently owned by US Sugar. The idea is for the county to buy approximately 80 acres inside the city from US Sugar and make it a business district called Com- merce Park.

There would be a legal agreement for payback in place, in case City Mattress does not follow through with its part of. the agreement. The manufactur- ing plant would be in full opera- tion by 2010. No agreement with LaBelle The interlocal agreement between the City of LaBelle and Hendry County for water and wastewater service giving LaBelle the option to provide wastewater ervjces.to the west LaBelle area was rejected by the county commission. In other business:' Former county engineer Rock Aboujaoude proposed signs at five different gateway locations, welcoming people to Hendry County. These signs would be about 20 feet wide and about 12-14 feet high. The board chose from three proposed mercial units needing water and sewer, education and transporta- tion services. They're looking at a population of 10,000 in a "walking neighborhood" a. 1,200-acre development at SR 29/CR 78. Such development will need a cooperative traffic study, as well as affordable housing.

He also proposed Zeroscaping, which is a low maintenance landscape sur- rounding the signs. Mitchell and Tina Jo Wills, residents of LaBelle, requested rezoning for ten acres on B. Rd. that they have owned since 1991. They requested that the property be rezoned from A-2 to RR, which is rural residential and allows for one unit every two acres. The county agreed to' waive all or part of the fees and rezone. Attorney General Charlie Crist wants to impose a local permit fee for residential migrant housing and migrant- labor camps in additionto permit fees prescribed by state,.laws, The board is considering the annual inspection fee possibility. The board discussed the Courthouse Square lease, which will be used by the public defender, probation and court reporter offices in LaBelle. A pro- posed lease agreement for the Courthouse Square is being developed and will be provided prior to the BOCC meeting. The courthouse will also be renovat- ed in the government complex in LaBelle. Gerber Groves Water Con- trol District has requested to par- Sticipate in the insurance pool but has been denied by the board. The Hendry County solid waste discounted disposal fee for 2007 was rejected by the board.. Mr. Allen, a resident and owner of a hotel in Clewiston, is not in compliance with sprinkler systems. He owns a two-story structure and is required by law to have automatic sprinkler sys- tems around his building. He has had many extensions to gel this project completed but remains out of compliance. The board gave him another two-week extension to fulfill their request; if he does not have it done in two weeks his hotel will be demol- ished. eThe next regular meeting of the county commission will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 23, at the Courthouse in LaBelle.

Investments 8 Real Estate - -- Caloosa Belle, Thursday, May 18,2006 Women need help to get new roof Dorothy Riddle and her daugh- ter Patricia have a little more on their plate than they can handle right now courtesy of Hurricane Wilma. As a result of the storm, the roof on their small home on Car- Slotta Ave. needs to be replaced a $4,400 job they cannot afford. Their roof has a temporary patch, but roofers have told Dorothy it won't hold up against anything over 50-mile-per-hour winds. Both women are on disability. Dorothy suffers from emphaze- ma, a lung obstruction and is cur- rently in remission from cancer of the mouth. Her 29-year-old daughter has been confined to a wheelchair since she was 12 years old and a virus settled in her spine, leaving her partially para- lyzed. The women live on $1,000 per month, which must pay for every- thing, including food, medica- tions and medical supplies. Dorothy said they do not qualify for food stamps. She cannot drive and so must pay someone to take her where she needs to go. She has no insurance to cover the roof. Her fiance was going to fix her roof, but died last February. His sister, Lottie Prosser, is trying to help Dorothy find some assis- tance, but she lives in Lakeland. The women have tried local civic groups but to no avail. She's been turned down by FEMA twice because it's a flat roof. SHIP would put Dorothy on a waiting list for months. With another hur- ricane season just weeks away, she hasn't got that much time. A local roofer has told Dorothy they could get to her in mid-June, but she needs the $4,400. So, Lottie has opened an account to help her friend get her roof repaired. If you would like to help, you can donate to the Dorothy Riddle Benefit Fund at Olde Cypress Bank. Whatever you can spare would help provide these ladies with one of life's min- imal necessities a roof over their heads. LaBelle Blood Drive receives award By Kristin Hunter The LaBelle Community won an award for Best Community Blood Drive in southwest Florida. LaBelle donated 321 units of blood over the past year from May 2005 to March 2006. The LaBelle High School also won an award for Best Small High School for 2005. The award was based on the percentage of high schoolers that donated in relation to their senior class size. The blood mobile goes to the high school four times a year and out of those four times the high school donat- ed a total of 200 plus units of blood. Jane Slater, Donor Develop- ment Coordinator, wanted to mention that anyone from age 16 and up (there is no upper age limit) can donate blood. The blood supply is always low in every blood type so everyone's blood is needed. This is because every individual person that donates, can give only one unit at a time. However, one person in the hospital could wipe out a sin- gle blood drive donation of about 40 units, which equates to -40 donations. It takes about 48 hours for the blood to be tested. 0 nega- tive is the blood in most demand because that blood type is the uni- Caloosa Belle!Kristln Hunter Accepting the Community Blood Drive Award for the LaBelle driver are, from left: volunteer Anne Schall, Donor Development Coordinator Jane Slater, Site Coordinator Volunteer Pat Hashman and volunteer Ida Mae Wragg. versal donor,.which means that someone with O negative blood can donate to any person with any kind of blood txpe.

I live in LaBelle and heard one of the teachers from a local school cussing and she physi- cally attacked a man! It was beyond belief. I was appalled and embar- rassed teachers should be held to a higher standard. When is this kind of thing personal and when is it public knowl- edge? Where do we draw the line? Children out there. Some of them she taught, some she is teaching. This is an ongoing problem and we need to know when to draw the line. It's unfair to the children and some of our teachers need to grow up.

As you are aware, the Summer Film Festival is not for religious purpose. This is our 25th Summer Family Film Festival created as a fundraiser addressing the deep concern regarding the lack of whole- some recreation for the youth of our community during the sum- mer months. We also use the proceeds to provide other youth activities and programs during the year such as small engine classes, computer classes and more, all free to the community. A PowerPoint display announcing the names of our business-sponsors is shown at the beginning of each of the 24 showings to over 650 folks ,gIrowrTups and kids). Last year we began focusing on our com- munity's young adults with our 6:00 p.m. showing. School will be out'for the summer on May 24, 2006. The Film Festival is open and free to everyone. Your sponsorships make it all possible. Please invite your friends and family. The popcorn is great. We offer extra showings for the summer camps including RCMA and the Hendry-LaBelle Recreation pro- grams, if needed. This year's festival will fea- ture six family films, some ani- mated, and mostly produced by Disney. With new technological advancements, the "movie experience" is getting better and better for our audiences. If you would like to continue this wholesome family event, sponsorships are available for $120. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 673-4529. Thank you for your support and consideration. Thank you, Julie Craichy Wilkins Coordi-., nator, Summer Film Festival Please make checks payable to LaBelle Assembly of God (designate Film Festival on the memo) Letter to the Editor Facing big issues Dear Editor: It was with great concern that residents of Hendry County read stories this week regarding safety issues related to the Herbert Hoover Dike surrounding Lake Okeechobee. Reports of the potential for disastrous conse- quences to the people of Hendry County resulting from breaches in the dike is an issue that must be addressed at all levels. I applaud the leadership of Governor Jeb Bush for bringing the public safety issues related to Lake Okeechobee to the fore- front. We, as public officials, have a responsibility to do what is nec- essary to protect the lives and the property of those we serve. It will take a united effort among the local, state and federal govern- ment to ensure that everything possible is done to provide as safe an environment as possible to our constituents. It is our duty to do no less. The likelihood of the failure of the Herbert Hoover Dike increas- es as water levels rise in Lake Okeechobee. During the rainy season, the Corps of Engineers often must make releases from the lake to keep lake levels in check. The Corps is working on a plan that could keep the lake lower year-round; and expects to publish a draft in July and put the plan into effect in January. While we support managing the lake at a lower level, with the recent report of the potential for dike fail- ure, we believe it behooves the Corps to keep levels within the lake low enough during this com- ing rainy season so as not to threaten the dike's integrity. With these critical public safe- ty issues in mind, it was also with great concern that we read of the intention of the City Council members of the City of Sanibel to pursue legal action against the agencies responsible for making releases from Lake Okeechobee. Council members have indicated that they will request an injunc- tion to have releases to the Caloosahatchee River stopped to protect the waters around Sanibel Island. We in Hendry County under- stand the incredible stress that the Caloosahatchee Estuary has experienced over the past several years. The numerous hurricanes. and heavy rains have affected all of us,: and given us a greater understanding of the link between the coastal and lake regions. Hendry County resi- dents, like the residents in Lee County and Sanibel Island, want to preserve the precious natural environment that we all enjoy. We fish in your estuary, stay in your hotels and shell on your islands. We, too, are a part of Southwest Florida. We understand the worry of Sanibel Island residents who do not want to see the degradation of their waters. What we cannot understand is the relief that they seek results in a potentially life threatening prospect for lake region residents. We cannot pro- tect environmental resources at the potential cost of human life. That is not acceptable. While the fixes to the prob- lems that we experience in the lake and estuary will. not happen overnight, we are encouraged by the action we see occurring.in our back yard. The South Florida Water Management District broke ground on a reservoir in Hendry County that will hold excess water so high level discharges will be less likely to occur. While the benefits of this reservoir will be experienced by the lake and coastal regions alike, the cost of removing over 10,000 acres of taxable land is being assumed by Hendry County. We will continue to work with the various state agencies and the federal govern- ment to promote and implement environmental restoration proj- ects and will robustly demand that public safety issues will be afforded the highest priority. We hope, too, that all governments and residents of Southwest Flori- da will do the same. Thank you. Sincerely, DarrellR. Harris Chairman, Board of County Commissioners Hendry County Liquid assets are as important as saving Did you see the published list of delinquent property taxes? If you think that was voluminous, you should see the list in the Naples Daily News for Collier County! I want to talk about liquidity planning this week. Anyone who works in the field of financial plan- ning deals with clients who, being responsible, are concerned about their liquidity needs. More than any other category, I have found that widows are more concerned -about having liquid cash available than any one else. I have had many widowed clients that keep $25,000 or more in a checking account that pays minimal interest. They don't care about the poor return on the money. They worry that if their car breaks down, or they need a new roof, or a new air-conditioning sys- tem they will not have the available cash to pay for it. Often it is just easier to go along with that thinking than trying to get Financial Tips byWayneC.Switzer them to invest the money in some- thing else because it causes them too much concern. The largest life insurance poli- cies are written to provide liquidity for Federal Estate Taxes. We think of large landowners and big busi- ness owners as having the greatest need for cash to pay off the IRS. But many investors find themselves in a situation where they need cash. Their IRA's are not very liquid con- sidering tax events. Their invest- ments may be in a down business cycle and the timing very poor for selling. Life insurance with proper ownership is often the answer to those problems. Now back to the published unpaid tax rolls. Many of those people did not pay their tax because it was inconvenient for them. It was not because they are broke. Remember, every one of them owns real estate here in Hendry County. Some of that land is extremely valuable, and some of those people don't even have a mortgage. Many of them are quite well off, but at least some of them did not conveniently have the cash on hand to pay the tax when due. Therefore, they made the choice to be late and deal with the penalty, rather than make other arrange- ments to come up with the cash at this time. This should be a reminder to every one that you need to keep a: certain amount of liquidity in your estate at all times. Kind of think a lit- tle like those widows who are over- ly concerned about not having enough cash on hand. The next time you borrow against your cash value insurance, immediately set up a monthly loan repayment plan. When you take money out of your equity line, leave enough for emer- gencies. Everyone has a financial emergency from time to time. I had a client in Naples who was retired from the grocery business. He volunteered information about the size of his estate, and asked me for advice and a recommendation for an attorney to write his Florida Will. When I asked how much of his estate was in cash, he said he had two million dollars in certificates of deposit in local banks. I only need- ed to get him to an attorney! We all should be so lucky. Remember the importance of liquidity. Wayne C. Switzer, CLU., Church;. Langfordor rd Inc.; O'Ferrell Florist; U-Save Super- market: USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; \Vinn- Dixie.

But the I Mysterious forces at work in the world I of gambling might beg to differ. Take I Ithe seventh race at Aqueduct on April I 15,1992, when the winner was Tax Tip. I The winner in the seventh race at Gulfsteam Park on March 16, 1996, the Sday before St. Patrick's Day Irish Conquest, of course. Or, how about the winner of the Breeder's Cup at Lone Star Park on Halloween eve, 2004 - SGhostzapper. Then there were the win- Sners of the first three races at Laurel SPark on Ash Wednesday, 2006 - Vagabond Saint, Halo's Slate Clean and SNancy's Grace. I I Sometimes a major leaguer will acknowledge his home run with a long stare from the plate and a slow jog around the diamond. But why did it Stake Boston's Tony Graffanino more than five minutes to circle the bases after homering against Toronto in a September 2005 game? Turns out team- mate Gabe Kapler tore his Achilles' ten- don while running just ahead of Graffanino and crumpled to the ground. Graffanino stopped mid-base path to avoidpassing Kapler, who was attended to, helped offthe field and replaced by a pinch runner, before Graffanino com- pleted his trot all permissable in the rule book. SFour players in NBA history have pulled Down at least 20 boards in one game Without scoring a single point. The most recent was Denver's Reggie Evans Sin a March 2006 win over Toronto. Two others who did it once were I Philadelphia's Clyde Lee in 1974 and the SLakers'Happy Hairston in1973. But get this the fourth rebounding specialist did it an amazingseventimes. The play- er?

Bridge Sreet LaBelle 33935 (863)675-1313 By Kristin Hunter Students from LaBelle got to meet Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, Marco Rubio. Mr. Rubio spoke at the Li- coln-Reagan Day Dinner Thurs- day night, May 11, at the Clewis- ton Country Club. He talked about some of the major issues and challenges Florida faces such as imminent domain, the proper- ty insurance market as well as having seven hurricanes in 12 months. He also noted that, of course, Florida is a very important state for elections. Most likely if the candidate does not win Flori- da the candidate does not win at all. He noted that we have to have a vision for the future and plan of action of how to put the vision in place. He wants the high school- ers to change their generation's view of politics, saying that what you do now will have a bearing on your life 20, 30 and 40 years later or for the rest of your life. He challenged the high schoolers, saying that our competition is not other American states but other countries such as China, India and Pakistan, for instance. Those are the places tllatn .reality, we !need io worry about being up on aparwnh Hechalleiged the high schoolers to get involved in gov- ernment because what happens in politics is relevant to their lives and to take charge of their future because what is decided in gov- ernment now the high schoolers will have to live with for the rest of their lives. He challenged all peo- ple to ask the question: What would you do to make Florida/US better? And to make sure that all politicians are held accountable for their actions (by having a con- crete plan first) and are relevant so that their issues pertain to everyday people. The problem in politics is that we tend to deal with things as they become a cri- sis, rather than looking at things on a long term basis, he told his audience.

Members were treated to workshops including "Follow Your Dreams," "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and "Cam- paigning for Office" to name a few. The keynote speaker for this year was Mr. Jim Morris, Jr. His story is the subject of the 2002 films from Walt Disney, The Rookie, starring Dennis Quaid. What a highly motivating speaker for young people about following your dreams. The chapter also participated in the election of the new state offi- cers.

By some who are good at calcu- lating such things, it's been estimat- ed that out of every one hundred cars that have passed West Glades School in the last couple weeks, not more than two or three percent have learned the meaning of those colorful fluttering ribbons. Larry R. Luckey, II, Principal West Glades School says: "The rib- bons represent the most recent National Holocaust Remem- brance. Each ribbon fluttering in a peaceful breeze represents 7,000 people who died in the Holocaust during the 1930s and 1940s/World War II. "The yellow ribbons represent the Jews, the red, white and blue represent every other nation that was affected by the Holocaust. The students recognized that every nation affected by the Holocaust had at least one of the red, white and blue colors in their flags.", Principal Luckey explains, "It was 7th grade students who wrote and presented a play, "Guards, Take Them Away," in which every student had a role to play based on research that the students them- t Calls TBo 1 Pe'. $SiVtg kmice- With Us You'll Find You Can Leave Your Friends Behind Horse Transportation Available For Rates, References & Service Call 863-675-3231 Call 863-675-0000 Toll-Free 888-332-3345 Visit our website at: www.burson-weathers.com Offices in Alva and Downtown Fort Myers Cthe Kng R0oup The alternative to ordinary real estate. 274 N.

The play was series of soliloquies of the charac- ters and was presented to grades 3, 4,5 and 6. "One student played a,Jewish folk song and 7th grade students answered questions from the stu- dent audience about the Holo- caust. And they were told that over one and half million children were also victims of the Holocaust." When asked how the idea came about, it was learned that the West Glades 7th grade class had watched a documentary about Whitwell Middle School in Whitwell, Ten- nessee, that wanted to bring recog- nition to Holocaust victims. So they asked people to send in paper dips.
