Glades issues
burn ban
The Glades County Board
of County Commissioners,
along with Glades County
Public Safety, has implement-
ed a burn ban This is for all
fires within Glades County--
boundaries with the excep-
tion of the Brighton Reserva-
tion. Examples of fires that are
banned include burning yard
waste and trash or open
campfires. This does not
include any burning permit-
ted by the Division of Forestry
(DOF).
This ban is in effect until
further notice. (Very impor-
tant Glades is served by
Hardworking volunteer fire
departments. So please obey
this ban.)

Did you sustain
hurricane damage?
If you've been temporarily
displaced from your home-
steaded property due to storm
damage or other serious
calamity, please notify the
Property Appraiser's Office,
so they will not remove your
exemptions if your renewal
mailing is returned. Also, if
you purchased and moved
into a home intended as your
permanent residence before
January 2006, but were dis-
placed as of January 1 due to
severe storm damage, you are
still eligible to file for a new
homestead exemption on
your property.
Additionally, if you believe
your property was so signifi-
cantly damaged as to drop the
value as of January 1, please
call them at 863-675-5270 to
inquire about having your
property reinspected. Please
act promptly; any delays may
jeopardize your opportunity
for relief. And remember, it's
always a good idea to take
photos and keep other
records documenting the
damage.

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.

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

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-

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.

hardship for senior citizens and
low income families.
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

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 city commission will be at 7

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. Janice Groves,

would be about 20 feet wide and
about 12-14 feet high. The board

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-

I WAS AT A LITLE LEAGUE game recently. 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.

25th Summer Family


Film Festival


Dear Friends:
You and business folks like
yourselves have made the past
Summer Film Festivals a
tremendous success. 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,

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

Tips

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.

To clean your metal hood over
the stove, give it a blast with your
hair dryer in the seams and
crevices. This softens the grease
that has hardened. A soft, new
paint brush makes the best duster
for carved furniture surfaces. To
clean diamonds you don't need to
buy special jewelry cleaner. In a
bowl mix two parts hot water and
one part ammonia. Let them soak
for several minutes and brush
with an old soft toothbrush. Rinse
and dry. How many times have
you been on "hold" while on the

Question of the Week: How would
you like to be like your mother?
Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant

Mary Jo Wilson: "My moth-
er is very brave in the way
she faces any obstacles or
challenges with the com-
plete attitude that she's
going to succeed no mat-
ter how difficult it may be. I
see 'it every day. She's still
strong in spirit and
courage."


Delia Vasquez: "My mother
was kind, very kind, and
helpful to anybody who
needed anything giving
people rides to the doctor,
doing whatever they need-
ed to help them. I try to do
things for my family, like
her, when I'm asked. That's
what I loved about my
mother."


Yajaira R. Garza: "She was
independent. She always
paid all the bills and did all
those things. She raised
me the right way, with
tough love. She controls
my two-year-old son better
than I can! She's stern and
full of character but loving
at the same time."


Armando Ramirez: "My
mother is independent.
She's been through a lot
and always came out on
top. She. taught me that
God won't give me more
than I can handle."


Linda Reecer: "My mother
was very even tempered.
She always gave us a
chance to discuss prob-
lems we might have with
her, even after we were
adults."

Rubio explains facts of political life to students 155 N. 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.

LaBelle FBLA are winners again


By Jodi Higginbotham
Eleven students from LaBelle
High School just returned from
the 56th Annual State Leader-
ship Conference (SLC) of the
Future Business Leaders of
America. What an awesome
event for these FBLA members.
There were approximately 3,500
FBLA members from across the
state in attendance.
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.
The final evening of the con-
ference was awards night. As
they all sat with hopeful hearts,
the top five names for FBLA
Principles and Procedures were
announced. Brittany Baker's
name was called for FBLA Prin-
ciples and Procedures. Fifth,

nessee, this summer to compete

us achieve our goals this year
and "good luck, Brittany, in,

WGES remembers Holocaust victims


By Barbara Oehlbeck
The fence is fluttering at West
Glades School ... with meaning
and lessons to be
learned by all of us, and a
reminder that: too soon we forget
too much.
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-

selves conducted on people and
events; then they created charac-
ters in the play to coincide with the
research they'd done. 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.
The idea was that the students

wanted to collect six million paper
clips to be able to see what an astro-
nomical number six million is. In
response to this request so many
paper clips and funds were raised
that they were able to purchase a
railroad car which had taken Holo-
caust victims.to the death camps.
Funds raised were enough to not
only buy the car but to have it
shipped to Tennessee, and was later
turned into a Holocaust memorial.
It is said that people from all over the
United States have visited Whitwell
just to see the Railcar Holocaust
Memorial.

ribbons on the front fence of their
school.
