By Patty Brant and
Kristin Hunter
Faced with unprecedented
growth and all the issues that sur-
round it, Hendr\ County officials
are looking for all the help they
can get.
Washington. D C, is a long
way away from this south central
Florida community, but locals
have caught US Congressman
Mark Foley's ear.
Lake Okeechobee's problems'
seem to be multiplying. For


months West Coast residents
have been accusing water releas-
es from the lake of damaging the
estuaries along the Gulf Coast,
even threatening legal action to
stop the releases and suggesting
flooding areas around.the lake as
a "fix."
Now, concerns that the Her-
bert Hoo\ei Dike could fail,'
resulting in devastation for sur-
rounding, corfmmunities, haie
been added to the overall issues
Corps of Engineer models slho


that approximately 25 percent of level through more frequent
Hendry Cournty's structures are releases. He said capping the

flood model about 90 percent would make sense. The lake has

A study in American heroism

SMost of us now reaching what
is known as "middle age" grew
up with World War II veterans as -
our heroes. Maybe we didn't real-
ize for a long time that they were so
our'heroes they were, after all,
very close to us. They were our
fathers, our uncles, our teachers,
the mailman just ordinary folks
who carried the burden for us
while we were children. Like all
young people we were some-
times cute; sometimes insuffer-
able, sometimes downright rebel-
lious, but they never wavered in "
showing us how to be adults.
Generations after the category
known as Baby Boomers (born in
the years following WWII when
men and women were making
up for four years'of lost time) are

Transplant makes


Ru dystronger"
Rudy, "'"""


SBy Patty Brant '
S'; WVhat is a new chance at life
W vorth? And who deserves one?
; ',People who. are fortunate
eflough to receive organ trans-
plants know these questions,
although they may not be able to
Answer them. People like Rudy
Grimaldo.
Now 60 years old, Rudy can be
found this time of year doing
what he loves best coaching the
Little League Marlins at Davis-
Pratt Field. A trim 125 pounds, he
looks healthy and vital, watching
his boys play and offering them
the advice he's been lovingly dis-
pensing for many years. He looks
pretty much the same, but inside
he's a changed man in several
ways.
You see, Rudy received a dou-
ble lung transplant in August of
2002 a gift he tries every day to
be worthy of.


"Pulse" releases would also
push less polluting nutiients -
much of w which filters do\ n fror
North Florida and the Orlando


area to the estuary. These nutri-
ents accumulate in the lake and
are flushed out through releases
down the Caloosahatchee River,
\whiich has been named the num-
bei 7 on Ihe top ten most endan-
gered ri\ eis in the country.
The congiessman assured
officials that the kcnig tlem plans
for the lake are "piett good,"
although he declined to elabo-
rate. He said the Corps of Engi-

'Public safety



trumps all'


By Patty Brant

With those words, Col.
Robert Carpenter, Ai ri\ Corps of
Engineers Jackson ille District
Commander, did his best to
assuage people's fears concern-
ing anr potential cr:rnpromilslng
of the Herbert Hoover Dike. He
spoke at the c:unty commission
meeting Tuesda\.
we're e here to tell you the
facts," Col. Carpenter said. Col.
Carpenter said the dike is safe up
to a level of 21 foot. The highest
it's ever been is 18.8 feet. Current-
it is 12.8 feet.
The ongoing $O0 million ren-
ovation project w ill take some 20
Nears to complete; five years if the
Money is made available. After
the reno\'ation, the dike \ill \wth-
stand a 26 foot lake level, he stat-
ed, and a new water release
schedule through the Caloosa-
hatchee River is to be in effect
next January and will also help
by keeping the water level lower.
At this time, the dike could


Sithstand a direct onslaught by a
massive hurricane, he said.
There is no comparison with
what happened in NewO Orleans
during Hurricane Katrina. That
dike was only 7 fooit tall. 20 foot
thick, and the sui rounding area is
below sea level The Herbert
Hoover dkie is -0 tall, 250 ifo,:t
thick and the surrounding area
18 foot abo\t sea le el It stretch-
es 143 rniles arou nd the lake. The
dike is also maintained 24 hours
a da\, 7 days week, he noted.
SHe said if piessuie inside
forced water over the top of the
dike, tdie sui rounding area would
be inundated and watei would'
fan out to the canals. In Ihe
unlikely event an evacualion
would be necessary, he said
therei :uld be several da\s noti-
fication kVhen residents should
evacuate.' Col. Carpenter said it
.would be a local decision, but
that it would be if the lake
reached the 21-foot level. He said
the \ easiest side of dike is at Port
Myaca; followed by Clewiston,
then Moore Haven.

He had trouble breathing for a
good three years before he was
diagnosed with lung disease. In
1995 it began to bother him at
work; he'd been running heavy
equipment at Duda's farm for 35
years. He began missing work
and getting weaker. One night his
wife, Carmelh, took him to the
emergency room, but the doctor
never mentioned a lung problem
- he was simply diagnosed with
back pain.
When Rudy and Carmela
finally went to a specialist in Fort

however, that a solution is under
way and that the levy is undergo-
ing daily inspections.
They also discussed the ability
of deploying services and equip-
ment in the eveht of a' emer-
gency.
Congressman Foley said he
has talked to Senators Nelson and
Martinez, who will support a bid
for more federal money for Ever-
glades Restoration. They also dis-
cussed competition from Califor-
nia in the citrus industry;
additional funding for small coun-
ty health departments and mental
health departments.

LaBelle Rangy Bengston, LaBelle City Commissioner Hilda
Zimmerly, Congressman Mark Foley and County Commis-
sion Chairman Darrell Harris.


Although the congressman
said he could not help with
money for a badly needed new
jail, he did point out that after


Hurricane Wilma he, got funding
for the Hendry County Sheriff's
Office communications system:
Additional subjects included


federal money for local road and
bridge projects, particularly the
completion of four-laning SR 80, a
main hurricane evacuation route.
Commissioner Harris pointed
out that SR 29, also an evacuation
route, is packed. The LaBelle
Bridge is an issue of itself. It will
take two years just for a study and
seven years to build a new one.
Meanwhile, there are still times
when you can't get across it -
either because of traffic back up
or a malfunction:.
Hendry County Director of
Public Safety Randy Bengston
pointed out how that affects
emergency vehicles. If the
LaBelle Bridge is inoperable,
emergency vehicles must go all
the way to CR 31 in Lee County or
to Moore Haven, since they.are
too heavy for the Fort Denaud or
Alva bridges.
Those bridge problems will


only be .exacerbated as both,
western Hendry and western
Glades counties experience
unprecedented growth.

Other topics included afford-
able housing, pandemic precau-
tions,
Homeland Security inequities,
strings attached to No Child Left
Behind funding; services for for-
eign language speakers in local
school. According to Superinten-
dent of Schools Tom Conner,


LaBelle area schools are now
about 60 percent Hispanic;
Clewiston area schools about 40
percent.
It was also pointed out that
Gov. Bush promised some $1.3
million for a much-needed
Emergency Operations Center
for Hendry County when he visit-
ed the makeshift EOC at the
sheriff's office in LaBelle after
Hurricane Wilma, which has not
appeared in the Legislative budg-
et.

the biggest crises of the 20th Cen-
tury (including the Great Depres-
sion) are growing fewer and
fewer. It's a group made up of
heroes, great and small. In that
group,
Henry L. Mills was a standout.
Memorial Day is a. fitting time to
recall men like Maj. Mills, and all
those who, throughout the years,
have simply yet nobly "done their
duty" to this country.
He was born in New York City
in 1915, but for the last 15 years of
his life he called LaBelle home.
He was the product of a privileged
background, having been reared
in his grandmother's Georgian
house on a Connecticut hillside
with grounds leading to the Long
Island Sound "under the tutelage
of governesses with all the trap-.
pings of wealth," according to his
daughter, Shelley., -
He attended military schools
and graduated from Dartmouth

class which changed the dress
code that banned backless shoes.
He said that the years of sitting in
class from 7-2 were over and life
after high school was about to
begin. He said they should smile
at what they'd all been through.
He told his class congratulations
and wished them good luck. -
Valedictorion Kenny Martinson
referred to graduation as a special
day where two worlds collide. It
was the end of their high school
years and the beginning of some-
thing new. He had mixed feelings
about graduiatiig:and wondered
"where did the time go?" He used
John F. Kennedy's quote "Ask not
what your country can do for you,
but what you can do for your coun-
try." He told his class not to forget a
sense of humor because it is better
to laugh than to cry. He mentioned
that life after high school will come
with more freedom but with more
freedom comes more responsibili-
ty; that we learn by making mis-
takes and moving on. He used Isa-


College in 1939. Perhaps it was
the military school training or per-
haps he felt an obligation to help
support Britain in Its most trying
time, standing alone against Hitler
and his Nazi war machine Shel-
ley isn't sure because her father
never talked much about "the
War." She said, "Sympathetic
pilots like my father made their
way to England, via Canada,'to fly
and fight in the Royal Air Force.
Hazarding the dangerous water of
the North Atlantic and a U-boat
infested blockade of England,
they went in twos and threes to go
to the aid of a country they
believed in need of any help they
could give."
She continued, "They flew
Hurricanes and Spitfires and later
Mustangs, They flew in British
squadrons ... wore British uni-
forms" and "came together in
what Was to be come known as
Eagle Squadrons." Once America
became embroiled in the war,
these Eagle Squadrons became a
combat entity of America's Army
Air Corps, now the US Air Force.
They transferred into the 4th


iah 40:31 which says: "But they that
wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they
shallwalk, and not be faint."
Fly like eagles and soar, he said
adding that the past is behind us
but the present lies before us.

Fighter Group.
Hank Mills became the second
pilot in his new squadron, the
334th Fighter Squadron, he
become an "Ace." "By the Spring
of 1944 he attained the rank of
major and commander of the
334th Squadron, a P51 Mustang
Squadron," Shelley said.
March 6, 1944, Maj. Mills shot
down a German P109 west of
Brandenburg, Germany, but in a
few short minutes engine trouble
forced him to bail out. He was
captured and held as a Prisoner of
War. For months he was listed as
"Missing in Action," and impris-
oned in Stalag Luft II and Ill. In
early 1945 he and fellow prisoners
were force-marched in the bitter
cold and snow to another camp.
As the Russian Army closed in,
prisoners were locked in boxcars
for days with "neither food or
water nor sanitation." It was then
that Maj. Mills made his first
escape attempt. It failed and he
was placed in solitary confine-
ment with reduced rations. After
another failure, his third attempt
was finally met with success. Maj.


was the largest, best, greatest and
brightest class ever produced by
LHS. He mentioned a quote from
an old television show saying,
"Happy trails to you until we meet
again."
Superintendent Tom Conner
certified the Class of 2006, saying
that all students were qualified by
the state of Florida standards.
In the benediction by class sedc


Mills and a fellow prisoner, Lt.
Col. Donald Hillman, convinced a
Luftwaffe interrogator and anoth-
er German soldier that Germany
was losing .the war. The two
enemy soldiers disguised the two
Americans as French displaced-
persons brought to do farm labor
in Germany. They left the prison
camp, eventually meeting up with
an advance American patrol. Both
the German soldiers later became
American citizens and Maj. Mills
went on to establish a successful
electrical manufacturing compa-
ny.
His LaBelle neighbors, for the
most part never knew about his
singular war record. The men
who actually "get the job done"
are often the ones who speak the
least about it, but Maj. Mills
received the Distinguished Flying
Cross with three oak leaf clusters,
the Air Medal with three oak leaf
clusters, the EAHE Campaign
Medal with bronze star and the
Purple Heart.

DUI conviction

Quick response
The fire alarm at Upthegrove Elementary School brought
emergency teams scrambling while children and teach-
ers were evacuated from the buildings around noon May
17. It turned out to be a faulty air handler motor in the air
conditioning system and no one was injured. Smoke and
a burning odor remained in some of the classrooms, but
the evacuation of the school went very smoothly. Pictured

May 21 of 1996 it was time for you to be with the Lord.
It's been a long ten years but it seems like you just left
yesterday. It takes a special person to be a father and a
daddy like you were. You will always be that special
father to me, that meant so much and always will, you
will always be in my heart and I thank God for giving me
such a special dad like you. No one will ever take the
place of you Daddy, I miss you dearly and love you so
much but now you are at peace.
Love your daughter

math going on here or the Caloosa Belle got it %wrong.
(You've 'got good, sharp eyes and area thorough reader! The

Oil crisis calls for adjusting our sails


Following up on my article
"Gas Pains," it has come to my
attention that to quote the Beverly
Hillbillies, "It's that bubbling
crude" that's to blame. It got them
to Beverly Hills, but at the current
pace of things, it's probably going
to get a lot of us a walk to the poor
house.
Let's look it how we got into
this mess. How did we come to
have an oil shortage?
Once you've gotten by the


Is your worl
Get Involved U

emotional aspect of the word
"shortage" and applied rational
judgment and reasoning, it's very
simple. Nobody has bothered to
Check the oil!
Why? How could his happen?
Because it's a geographical issue.
All the U. S. oil is in Alaska, Cal-


ifornia, Coastal Florida, Coastal
Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania and Texas. But, all
our "dip sticks" are in Washing-
ton, D. C.
I don't know how many of you
are brave enough to watch your
Federal Government, Senators or
Congressmen, in action on C-
Span, but it is a challenge.
It has occurred to me that I
wish there was a control on the
TV to control intelligence. I can


tell you from experience the
"brightness" control doesn't hack
it. Someone once told me that
"We cannot direct the "wind," but
\ve can "adjust" the sails."
So, if certain issues and con-
cerns aren't controlled, come this
November I believe serious con-
sideration should be given to
"adjusting" the sails.
Respectfully,
T. W, Bill Neville (Hendry
County Citizen and Taxpayer)


Tax certificates a form of investment


It is that time of the year again
when Tax Certificates are being
sold. How much do you know
about them? This is just a primer,
as this column is not long enough
to cover much of what should be
said about them, but hopefully
this will peakyour interest.
All counties need to collect ad
valorem property taxes on real
estate in order to pay their bills.
Did you know that some people
think the government can just
print money! (Please don't com-
ment out loud!)
When property owners don't
pay their taxes on time, govern-
ment revenue from that source
just stops. However, government
obligations don't, so they need a
w'ay to obtain that missing rev-
enue. What is the answer? Sell off
certificates to the public for the
amount of unpaid taxes, with the
land serving as collateral.
The property owner who is
delinquent on paying his or her
taxes can go to the county court-
house and redeem that certificate
(this is a major lien against the


Financial
Tips


byWayneC. Switzer

property) by paying the amount
of the certificate, plus accrued
interest, plus county court costs. If
the property owner does not do
that within two years, in the State
of Florida the person owning the
certificate at anytime after the
two-year period can force the
land to legally be sold at public
auction to get paid back the
money they are due. When that
happens, you see Tax Deed Auc-
tions being advertised.
More often than not, the certifi-
cates are redeemed before a Tax
Deed Auction occurs. Here is
why. The property owners usually
have equity in their land, and they


don't want to lose it. And, during
the time the certificate is out-
standing, the value of the land
continues to appreciate. There-
fore, most purchasers of Tax Cer-
tificates get their money back
with interest, and the county
courthouse staff collects it for
them. Do remember that these
certificates are not liquid! If you
invest in them, you must wait
until some uncertain date to get
your money, or you may force,
through court proceedings after a
two-year wait, the land be sold
and then likely get either your
money or the ownership of the
land. You should have an attorney
representing you at that time.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The date
of the next Tax Certificate sale is
upon us... starting on Wednesday,
May 24, 2006, at 10 a.m. at the
Hendry County Courthouse.
There is no set time for the sale to
end. It often lasts for 2-3 days and
can go longer. It depends on how
many people show up to bid,
how fast or slow the bidding goes
and how many parcels of land are


available.
Public bid literally determines
the interest rates earned on the
certificates. Bidding is done in one
quarter percentage points. They
vary from as high as 18 percent to
all the way down to 0 percent.
That only happens when some-
one just wants the opportunity to
purchase the land at a later date
and doesn't care about the inter-
est. More often than not, the cer-
tificates give a good rate of return
considering that they offer rather
good safe' of principal. Personal
checks are accepted and no bid-
ding deposit is required. Howev-
er, if your bid is accepted, you do
need to be able to pay for it by
cash or check promptly.
Our Tax Collector is Peggy
Hampton. Her office phone is
863-675-5280. She anp her staff
do excellent work, so If you have
any questions, call them or go to
their office at the Hendry County
Courthouse. Time is now of the
essence. Good Luck, Wayne C.

tion and personal costs to come
to our community to help rebuild
homes and mend lives. CREW
has identified a lot of people with
needs and it will take a long time
to meet all their needs, obviously
the more volunteers we have and
the more donations we have, the
quicker this process will be.
Many other long term recovery
groups that have helped commu-
nities like ours recover have found
it takes years. CREW expects the
same.
I wanted to take the time to
acknowledge the many people
who have helped get us to where
we are today. I think it is impor-
tant that the community knows
how local individuals and busi-
ness have helped us, as well as
those from far away. Crystal
Strickland, Patricia and David
Adams, AGAPE home, and Bab-
cock Furniture donated mattress
for people whose mattresses
were destroyed in the
hurricane. Rawl's Real Estate
donated office furniture. The


Career and Service center has
donated office equipment and
supplies. Blue tarps were donated
from tne Corps of Engineers, New
Harvest Church, and the First
United Methodist Church. Lum-
ber was donated by Ronald
Rounds, who also volunteered
time and skilled labor. Bentley
Killmon donated useof a truck.
Carson Killmon, Miguel Herrera
and Tracy Rounds donated time
and labor. Veronica Gambel
donated drywall as did David-
son's Dry Cleaners who also gen-
'erously donated paneling ard cai-
pet. David and Tommy McClussky
donated time and labor. Wanda
Banks donated a hot water
heater. David Adams volunteered
time and skilled labor and use of
materials. The City of Clewiston
has provided us office space, and
City Building anid Zoning Depart-
ment has provided invaluable
advice and feedback for us as we
prepare to help clients rebuild
their homes. The First United
Methodist Church also has donat-
ed a lot of time, food, and office
space and office supplies and cov-
ered a lot of our start up costs, as
well as hosting several volunteer
groups. Pastor and Kathy Hicks,
of this same church, also provid-
ed numerous hours of volunteer
time and professional expertise,
as well as furniture. The Commu-
nity Presbyterian Church donated
a Shed and volunteer time. The
First Baptist Church donated time
and labor.

Question of the Week: Are you pre-
pared/concerned for this hurricane
season? Where will you stay?

Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter
SJean Vallo: "I'm always prepared. I
have water, canned food, dog food
for my puppy and my medicine ready
just in case. I live at LaBelle Com-
mons and I-will stay there because I
feel pretty secure there. I'm always
concerned about hurricane season
because I used to work with the
county in the planning department,
where I had hurricane duty answer-
ing phones for rumor control."


Clara Perez: "We should be .;
concerned about every hur-
ricane. I also live at the .
LaBelle Commons. My ...
daughter helps me prepare'
for the hurricanes. I just
pray and hope for the best."


Maria Hoppe: "I am not prepared
because I leave it in God's hands. I
live in Port LaBelle, however, I will
stay with my friend, Liz, because I
do not have homeowners insurance
because it is too expensive. I lost
S shingles last year, but I won't be
able to afford too much damage. I
may also move to New York with my
., friends this summer so I may not
have to worry about it."

Liz Midea: "Oh yesl I have everything
prepared in case of a hurricane. I have
a generator, a portable toilet, a portable
T.V., batteries, food, water, etc. I will stay
at home and babysit my two cats, my -t
friend Marie and possibly my grandchil-
dren. I have to hold down the fort. If it's "" ..i
gonna come, it's gonna come. You have
to be prepared just in case because you l
never know. My son and daughter-in-
law are paramedics in Clewiston, and
my son is also a firefighter in LaBelle so
they make sure that I am prepared."


Marguerite Kosier: "I am very afraid
of storms. I have lived in Aqua Isles
for 30 years and have been through
1H two storms. I will go to a church
shelter to be safe. I feel as pre-
S pared as anyone else. I have a box
4. full of hurricane stuff to grab and
: go when it's time for a hurricane."


Use styrofoam packing
peanuts instead of rocks for
drainage in the bottom of your
pots. The pots aren't as heavy to
move either. Put a coffee filter
over the drainage hole before fill-
ing the pot with soil. Also use a
coffee filter when draining used
cooking oil to save. Works better
if the oil is warm.
Before you put your heavy
jackets away be sure they're clean


and then
open the
seam in the
middle of an
old pillow-
case (just
enough to
slip over a clothes hanger) and
use this as a cover instead of plas-
tic. Sayin' of the Week: Whatever
hits the fan will not be evenly dis-
tributed.... Or... Life is ours to be
spent, not to be saved.

Plan for hurricane now


As the June I start date of hurri-
cane season nears, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Homeland Security's Fed-
eral Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) reminds residents
,living in hurricane prone areas to
prepare their families and homes
to reduce the risk of damage and
loss to lives and property.
"It's not just the wind that pro-
duces the damage, but the water.
Hurricanes can produce wide-
spread torrential rains that car
cause flooding the most deadly
and destructive result of hurri-
canes," said Michael D. Brown,
Under Secretary of Homeland
Security for Emergency Prepared-
ness and Response.
FEMA recommends the follow-
ing preparedness steps in prepara-
tion for hurricanes:
oDiscuss with your family what
to do should a hurricane come
ashore and where you might go -
to a shelter, a hotel or to stay with
friends or relatives.
eMake sure that children know
to stay 'inside even when the winds
die down the eye may just be
passing over and the storm will
shortly resume.
*Review your evacuation
routes and remember to NEVER
drive through high water.
identifyy a friend or relative in
another state or city to serve as a
point-of-contact in case family
members are separated
Pull together a disaster kit and
store it.in a portable container that
you can take with you should you
need to evacuate.
*Three-day supply of food and
bottled water
*Manual can opener
*Battery powered radio and
flashlights with extra batteries


*First aid kit and any medicines
needed for family members
*Duct tape, plastic sheeting and
scissors
eHygiene and personal care
items
*Supplies for pets
*Emergency contact list and
phone numbers
eCopies of important papers
Stay informed about hurricane
preparedness and know your risks
due to hurricanes or potential
flooding.
*Determine your risk. Know
the difference between a hurricane
watch and a hurricane warning
and take the necessary precau-
tions. If-you live on the coast or in a
vulnerable area, you may already
know you are at risk for wind
and/or water.
*Take action to reduce poten-
tial water damage. Consider
obtaining flood insurance, raising
utilities or appliances or even ele-
vating your home.
eKeep out the wind. If you can
keep your roof on, your windows
intact and your garage door in
place, you should stand a good
chance of findmig your home
standing even after a severe hurri-
cane.
*Hurricane straps and hurri-
cane shutters are cost-effective
measures. Consult a building con-
tractor, home improvement store
of the FEMA Web site
(www.fcma.gov) for specifics.

cane preparedness, visit

ance, visit wwwfloodsmart.gov or

Rumors vs Reality:



The Arrival of the



Seacoast National Name


The merger ofBig Lake National

Bank and Seacoast National Bank
brings with it a wealth of additional
,services and benefits to customers.

Joe Mullins, Big Lake's president
for the past 18 years, knows that
a merger also brings rumors. The

following is an open letter from

Joe to Big Lake National Bank
Customers.
Joe Mullins, Regional President, SeacoastNational Bank


To our customers and the communities we serve,


I've heard all the rumors, how fees will rise,
accounts will change and the phone will no
longer be answered by a person. Nothing could
be further from the truth. The integration of Big
Lake National Bank and Seacoast National Bank
will be completed on June 5, and is a "win-win"
for Big Lake National Bank customers.
The same employees will be servicing you,
service charges will not change and loan
decisions will still be made locally.
The merger with Seacoast will only
enhance our customers' banking experience.
New services will include free online banking
and bill pay, and a Telephone Banking Center
with extended weekday and Saturday hours
where customers can call and speak with a live
banking representative. Cash management,
marine financing, investment products, trust
and estate planning and annuities are
additional services that will be available to
you. We will have an expanded network with
41 Florida offices for greater convenience. The
automated MoneyPhone, formally known as
BLISS, will also be available 24/7.
Seacoast National Bank is known for
providing big bank services with small bank
attention, which means they are able to provide
a larger variety of financial services often
offered by the large mega-banks, with the
personal service associated with smaller
community banks. It's truly the best of both
worlds for our customers.


Seacoast National Bank has a long history of
supporting community events and employee
involvement with charities. Just as you've
always been able to find Big Lake National
Bank employees on hand to help out at
community functions.
Customers will see that only positive
changes are coming their way. More services,
more flexibility, more convenience. And yes,
there will still be a live person answering
the phone.
All of us at Big Lake National Bank and
Seacoast National Bank are excited about
the opportunity to continue serving your
financial needs and look forward to seeing you
in our branches and around town. Just as
before, our bankers' hours don't stop at the
office door. We are committed to serving our
customers now more than ever.
By the way, if you have a question or
concern you'd like to share with us, call your
local Big Lake National Bank office or call me at
863-467-4663. Our lines are open and will
be answered by a live person not a machine.
Thank you for your continued trust.

Benches recently placed in the LaBelle Nature Park. The
placement of Rotary benches in the park is in continuing
support of the Rotary Club of LaBelle's, Centennial
Nature Park Project started in 2004 in recognition of
Rotary International's 100th birthday.
The Rotary benches were purchased with a matching
Grant from Rotary District 6960 and monies generated
from the Armadillo Races at the annual Swamp Cabbage
Festival. The benches are placed along the park trails for
those that want to enjoy the scenic views, activities of
birds and other animals or just take a moment and relax.


State Attorney Steve Russell has
announced the expansion of the
Division of Volunteer Services to
include greater volunteer opportu-
nities within the Office of the State
Attorney. The Division, which is
staffed by professionals and com-
munity volunteers, is recruiting
enthusiastic people to become
involved in a wide variety of pro-
grams within the Charlotte, Collier,
Hendry, Glades and Lee offices of
the State Attorney, 20th Circuit.
Opportunities exist for people of
various backgrounds, skill levels
and experiences. Some of the areas
include: clerical support, victim
advocacy, paralegal, administration
and information technology. Col-


lege students, retired persons and
interested community members
are given a great opportunity to be a
part of the exciting world of the
Criminal Justice System.
The criminal justice system is
one the fastest growing sectors of
today's society. Rapid population
growth has resulted in an increas-
ing caseload. In expanding the vol-
unteer program, the office will be
able to reach out to the community
and will provide a win-win situation
for those working or volunteering
within the 20th Judicial Circuit.
For more information regarding
the volunteer program, please con-
tact Nancy Cruz, Volunteer Coordi-
nator at 239-335-2770.

Lung
Continued FromPage 1
Hospital in Gainesville.
It took another two years but
Rudy was finally approved for a
lung transplant. Still, Rudy held
back; he just wasn't ready. When
theywere told that, at best, he only
had seven or eight months to live,
he finally said okay to a transplant.
By then his breathing was so diffi-
cult he was on oxygen 24-hours a
day. Then it was time to wait.
When the good news came that
he was moved up to the top of the
list for a transplant, it was tem-
pered by the knowledge that, by
that time, doctors said he only had
four weeks to live.
A staunch Christian, Carmela
trusted in God, praying for the man
she was not ready to live without.
"Rudy amazed us," she recalls, "he
never seemed nervous or scared
when the doctor told us. It was me
that got sick."
Rudy: "I was getting worse and
worse... on oxygen 24 hours, get-
ting weaker.
At any moment a lung could
collapse. It was almost impossible
to walk and I couldn't sleep lying
down."
It was about 8 a.m. August 21,
2002, when the phone rang at the
Grimaldo home. Carmela was out-
side mowing and Rudy was alone
in the house when the ringing
awoke him. He struggled out to the
phone in the kitchen, but it quit as
he finally got there. In just a few
minutes it was ringing again --
Shands Hospital. They had a donor
for him a 17-year-old boy some-
where in North Florida. Angel
Flight, a group of volunteer private
pilots who offer their services and
their planes to ferry emergency
medical patients like Rudy, would
be at LaBelle Airport in 15 minutes
to fly him to Gainesville. It would
be Rudy's first airplane flight.
It was 1 p.m. when he arrived at
Shands, where they prepped him
and waited for the doctor to return
from Pensacola with the transplant
lungs. By 4 p.m. he was in surgery.
The operation went very well -
only 5 and one-hall hours for what
was expected to be an eight hour
procedure.
His recovery was more difficult.
Rudy was in ICU for 21 days three
or four is usual, he said.
"When they took the mask off I
thought I was drowning," Rudy
recalls, "I could not breathe. I had
to sit up to breathe." Concerned,
the doctor said Rudy would need
another surgery to allow his
diaphragm to expand, but Carmel-
la finally.got to tell him something
she'd been trying to ror months -
that it had been months since her.
husband had been able to sleep or
breathe sitting up. The doctor then
realized Rudy's diaphragm was
paralyzed from the lack of oxygen.
More proof to the Grimaldos
that God was watching out for
Rudy: the doctor told them if he
had known about Rudy's weak
diaphragm he would have stopped
the surgery. Carmela firmly
believes that God kept the doctor
from listening to her concerns
aboutRudy's inability to sleep ying
down so the surgerywould go on.
After the surgery, the road didn't
get any easier. By then his weight
had dropped to 99 pounds. Thera-
py was hard, hard work, but it
made Rudy strong again. Progres-
sively, he got off the life support
machines. He continues to exer-
cise, uses weights and takes seven
kinds of medications. He has had
no problems with his body reject-
ing the lungs.
The Grimaldos have great
respect for Shands Hospital and its
staff. "They treated us like family,"
they say. Carmela adds that, a few
times she "jumped on people" -
nerves played on the normally mild
woman but they never took
offense. Even so, she always apolo-
gized later.
Rudy also lost his voice for
months after the surgery. Like his
diaphragm, his vocal cords
became paralyzed. Fortunately, he
got his voice back just in time to
avoid more procedures.


nate they are. They've faced losing
a loved one and trying to under-
stand why it is a young man died
and Rudy is still with them. They've
supported each other through the
dark times before and during his
surgery and the long, tiring months
of his recovery. They lost their car
and came within a day of losing


their home because of medical
bills. They are grateful to the resi-
dents of LaBelle, who they say were
always there for them.
A new chance at life. That's
what Rudy Grimaldo has. It's a spe-
cial gift that comes with a big
responsibility. Rudy is determined
to live up to it.


Last year was Rudy's first sea-
son back on the Little League field -
oxygen tank and all. He just could-
n't stay away. His son, Eric, is now
24. He said this experience has
changed his life, too, and he's con-
sidering becoming an organ donor
himself. Eric is on the field helping
out, too. Rudy has also coached
Pop Warner football and Junior Pro
basketball. Rudy stays active coach-
ing and fishing, although he can't
work, he stays active coaching and
fishing. He just can't go overboard
and can't do any heavy lifting. He
says he still has some pain.
Rudy said he got through it all by
praying. He found God and was
ready to go when God said it was
time. But he was spared, so he said
he knows there is something left for
him to do in this world.
Rudy is an active member of the
Organ Transplant Recipients of
Southwest Florida, Inc. The group
meets monthly to talk about who's
on the transplant list and what
they've done. They also set up pre-
sentations at area high schools to
talk about the importance of being
an organ donor. Rudy hopes to set
such a presentation up at LaBelle
High School.
The Grimaldos know how fortu-

have enjoyed the watermelons and greatly appreciate
their generosity. Food Service Director Charlie Davis
delivered the sweet treats to schools in Clewiston and
LaBelle. Pictured from left: Tracie Hobby, Jennifer

Then Lori Howard, Children's
librarian, read the story Cook-A-
Doodle-Doo to the children
while they sat on one of the new
rugs. The children were very
attentive during the story and

The rug will get a lot of use and
is a great enhancement to the
library.

Vanishing muck lowers land elevation


By Jose Jesus Zaragoza
BELLE GLADE The effects
of subsidence are clear.
At the Everglades Research
and Education Center in Belle
Glade, a graduated pole juts out
of the dirt to reach nine feet into
the air. Roman numerals mark
the depth of the pole at every
foot The remarkable thing
about the pole isn't the weath-
ered condition of it, or even that
it has stood at the site for many
decades, but that at one point in
time, the top of it was level with
the ground.
Fifty years ago, some of the
top soil scientists in the area
famously predicted the demise
of farming as we know it in our
area. Pointing to the rapid
decline of the condition of the
soils in the Everglades Agricul-
ture Area, they said farming
would not be able to sustain
itself past the year 2000.
The agriculture industry that
year posted sales upwards of $1
billion.
Farming in the area has been
able to adapt to rapidly worsen-
ing conditions, partly by growing
sugarcane and implementing
rin techniques to stanch the
effects of subsidence.
But scientists say agricultural
companies can only stop time
for so long.
Subsidence occurs \hen
organisms feeding on the organ-
ic maternal convert that material
into water and carbon dioxide.
Sl u\\ly, the dirl made up mostly
ol organic material fades away.
The danger now\ rests on ho(-
much the soil will continue to
disappear in our area. W'llh a
hard limestone rock foundation
lust inches beneath the soil in
thri EAA., Iarming in shallow land
co:itinues t[o be a quarrelsome
issue.
Dr. George Snyder, a retired
scientist who worked at-the Uni-
versit\ of Florida research station
for much of his career beginning
in 1967, understands the prob-
lem well. He has seen first-hand
how new techniques have been
able to slow down the rate of
subsidence from an inch a year
decades ago to half an inch
today. The land continues to
slo\\l\ wither awa\,, but much
sl,.ver than originally predicted
Improved water control meas-
uies are among the primary rea-
sons why the subsidence has
sIi\\ ed
"\\hat you'ree doing is hold-
ing back imne," Dr. Snyder said.

Special to INI!Florida Archives
In this photo from 1947, the planters follow the machine, filling the rows with new celery
plants in the rich muck soil of the Everglades.


Near the subsidence post, li\-
ing facilities originally built for
staff at the research station can
be seen plopped up on pillars
rising many feet into the air
According to staff, the buildings
also had once sat cleanly on the
ground, resting on the dirt. Now,
it seems as though the person
who ordered the homes built
wanted them high above the
land in case of a flood.
It is an indication of how
badly the lands that were once
completely flooded have adapt-
ed to their drier condition. When
the soil is underwater, the organ-
isms that feed on it are not able
to capture the oxygen necessary
for them to live, so the result is
dirt unaffected by subsidence.
S But not all ol the land is sensi-
tive to subsidence
To rr\ Muck, the name glen
to the rich soil extending a mile
or further from the lake is in no
danger of disappearing anytime


soon. The fertile ground there, if
you ask Dr. Snyder, is the richest
in the country. The subsidence
threat only exists in about 80
percent of the EAA, on which
most farming companies
presently operate.
Today the predictions are not
as dire or filled with the promise
of fire and brimstone. While
researchers say that it is safe to
assume that 50 years from now\
farming as \e no\\ know it
would no longer be possible in
the area, they also say that histo-
ry has taught us that agricultural
companies have adapted to surg-
ing problems, and may very well
continue to adapt in the future.
"As a scientist, you can make
predictions about the soil depths,
but it's actually a matter of socio-
economics," Dr. Snyder said.
According to the doctor, the
farming lands in the EAA face a
bigger threat in the development
that seems slowly to be heading
west from coastal communities;
as well as increasingly] challeng-
ing government policy that is,
proving a growing concern for
the sugar industry in general.
Though the farming practices
that are currently in use are cer-
lain to no longer be able to sus-
tain the kind of harvest in the


future, if a market continues to
exist for sugar, and there is a
large enough demand for it here,
Dr. Snyder is confident that sci-
entists and technological
advancements can extend the
EAA's life cycle to well beyond 50
years into the future.
"If the price of sugarcane
were good enough, you could
grow it on that linoleum floor,"
Dr. Snyder said at the research
station's library last week.
Work at the present time else-
where in the area is concentrat-
ing on perhaps formulating an
enhanced sugar crop that can
survive larger amounts of water.
Theoretically, if a crop can be
grown in conditions with high
water tables, subsidence con-
cerns are erased.
But Dr. Snyder and others
agree that only time will tell how
exactly agriculture will adapt to
subsidence in the area, or
whether factors that hate noth-
ing to do with agriculture will
ultimately be the deciding factor.

Mildred Sherrod accepts a check for Senior Connections
from fourth grader Jade Rachelle Foryst.

Girl supports elderly


Last Friday morning at the
Roberts Center in; Immokalee a
remarkable nine-year old handed
Mildred Roberts Sherrod a check
for $700 to be spent for the elderly
who are served from the center.
Jade Rachelle Foryst, a fourth
grader at Immokalee's Highlands
Elementary School, also attends
Tae Kwon Do school in Lehigh
Acres. In years past the Tae Kwon
Do school and its students have
raised money for the Meals on
Wheels program in Lehigh Acres.
This year, however, things are dif-
ferent.
Over the past four years Jade
herself has raised in Immokalee
more than $8,000 for the elderly in
Lehigh Acres. Recently, she
approached her Tae Kwon Do
teacher. Grandmaster Dew\ey Tay-
lor, with the suggestion that
money raised in Immokalee stay in
Immokalee.
And he agreed. Grandmaster
Tyler then arranged for a percent-
age of the funds raised this year by
his school and its students to be
given to Senior Connections of SW
Fl, Inc. lastweek.
According to Christine Nolan,;


Executive Director of Senior Con-
nections, the money will help fund
the Enhanced Dining Project,
which is designed to improve the
nutritional health of the elderly in
the Immokalee area \\ho receive
home-delivered meals. "The proj-
ect will make it possible for us to
supplement -home-delivered
meals with staples not usually
included. We've found that .the
more variety our clients have, the
more likely they are to consume
the main items they've already
chosen."
In 2005, Senior Connections'
Roberts Center provided 48,000
congregate and home-delivered
meals to' the elderly in the
Immokalee area. "And this year
we'll be able to provide even
more," added Ms. Nolan, "thanks
to this community's generosity
and to a young person's energy
and good ideas. Thankyou, Jade."
Jade's community activism,
however, doesn't end at the
Roberts Center. On May 2 she will
meel with Governor Bush in Talla-
hassee and wants to ask him why
her grandmother's prescriptions
cost so much.

A legitimate role for the press is that of "the public's watchdog."
Most citizens can't spend the time necessary to personally observe
their public officials at work, or to determine how well public insti-
tutions are carrying out their public mission.

But too many newspapers these days act more like "mad dogs"
than "watchdogs."

We're proud to be different. We try to carry out our "watchdog"
role as humble representatives of the public, always maintaining a
courteous tone and our reputation for purposeful neutrality.

How are we doing?

For other kids
Eleven-year-old Cheyenne Johnson had her very first
hair cut May 18. "It was a little scary," she admitted, but
you can see from her big smile that she was glad she did
it. Cheyenne donated her shorn locks ten inches to
the American Cancer Society's Locks of Love program,
which provides wigs for kids suffering the effects of can-
cer treatment. Cheyenne is in the fifth grade at LaBelle
Elementary School. Cheyenne was ready to part with
some of her 30 inches of rich brown tresses and she's
still got 20 inches left! She's been the Sioux's outfielder
this season for the Dixie League. Her parents are
Shawnee and Malcolm "Skeeter" Johnson. Sissie Pack
did the honors at Sissie's Place.


From Donna Storter

Last Thursday evening Muse
Community Association hosted a
pot-luck dinner inviting Senator
Dave Aronberg as a special guest.
Following the MCA's brief busi
ness meeting, Sen Aronberg
addressed the group with obvious
genuine warmth and familiarity,
as he visits Muse often, even par-
ticipating in their famed karaoke
events. He stated that [he tremen-
dous gro\1Ih in Florida last year
had brought in much additional
revenue in the form of documen-
tary stamps and sales tax; he,
reported the legislature granted
$500k to Glades County for court-
house improvements, more than
any other county received; com-
munity hurricane shelters were
not funded, but money was
approved for upgrading the EOC
(Emergency Operations
Center); also education got a 10
percent boost in funding. Sen
Aronberg spoke of his gratitude in
ser ing Glades County residents,
noting that appreciation for his
efforts seems to be more pro-
nounced in Glades County with


its small population because
though less money is appropriat-.
ed, it is needed more.
The program continued with
Ranger Luis Aguilar of Division of
Forestry in Palmdale giving an
interesting and informational talkl
Son services DOF provides Glades
County, as well as fire prevention
tips and literature. He urged peo-
ple to obey the current Glades
County burning ban and to pro-
tect their homes by removing any
type shrubbery (or debris) that
would'be a ready fire-fuel, t-ithin
a thirty foot buffer zone of a
dwelling.
Muse Community Association
voted to have a Fourth of July pic-
nic with karaoke.
Fran Koebert, former President
of MCA, in announcing his candi-
dacy for Glades CountN con-,mis-
sion seat District 2 stated he \ ill
be running as a Democrat in the
September 5th primary% to give the
people a choice. This is Mr. Koe-
bert's first venture into Glades
County politics and though not a
politician, his expressed interest is
to help people and do the right
thing.

Caloosa Belle, Thursday, May 25, 2006


Camp celebrates golden anniversary


By Donna Meister
'M4tha Pierce has officially
been named Riverside's
Retreat's Camp Director. The
camp has more than doubled its
occupancy rate since she came
on board as manager in April of
2000. It has also grown by 30
percent in popularity in just the
last year. Martha truly loves her
job, which makes her an excel-
lent public relations person.
Martha is a Master Naturalist,
with training from the University
of Florida. Martha said, "I wish
to enhance others' use of the
environment, along with pro-
tecting and restoring the habi-
tat." She is presently working on
her Camp and Retreat Ministry
CertifiCation, a master degree
level course which will take
about three years to complete.
She has worked in the past as a
Children's and Youth Minister
and also a Pastor's Assistant
through the Methodist Church.
A fifth generation Texan, Martha
has lived the last 20 years in
Florida. She raised her only
child, daughter Loena, in the
Melbourne/Merritt Island area.
Loena noW manages a Pet Super
Market on Merritt Island. Martha
enjoys directing and producing
plays at the Firehouse Cultural
Center. She also has acted, sang


Caloosa Belle/Donna Meister
Ms. Martha Pierce, Director
of Riverside Retreat.
and played piano during many
of their productions. Martha has
a soft heart for animals and
owns four large dogs and five
cats.
Ms. Pierce's mission state-
ment could be summed up this
way; "By being the best that I
can be, I want to encourage oth-
ers to be the best they can be. I
want to help others to discover


themselves and their surround-
ings." She hopes that the camp
will become a more integral part
of the LaBelle community.
If by some chance you are
not familiar with it, Riverside
Retreat, formally known as
South Florida United Methodist
Camp, is located just off of High-
way 78, or North River Road.
This 150-acre camp and retreat
center is not the diamond in the
rough that it once was. Sitting in
the center of paradise, with its
wonderful natural setting over-
looking the Caloosahatchee
River, the camp has much more
to offer. The facility includes a
70,000 gallon swimming pool,
bicycles and kayaks, regular and
sand volley ball courts, nature
trails and a low. ropes course
used for team. building and
problem solving. Forth coming
are canoes and a climbing wall.
Many have enjoyed the hay rides
and night hikes. There are pavil-
ions with full kitchens, rustic
cabins, campsites and RV hook-
ups. Day camping or residential
camping is available. Work
campers are also welcome as
are summer volunteers. Manag-
ing the 150 acres takes many
man hours, especially during the
rainy summer growing season
when grass mowing is basically
a lull time job.


The camp already has book-
ings into the year 2008. Not just
church groups have discovered
this beautiful facility. People
from across the United States
have come for family reunions,
weddings, office parties, people
working on service projects, col-
lege students working on nature
projects, spring breakers and
just plain nature lovers. Florida
Wildlife officers, scouts,
foresters and multi ethnic
groups have all enjoyed this fan-
tastic facility. The camp also
offers reasonable rates for day
campers.
Coming this July 1, middle
schoolers, grades six through
eight, can enjoy the full old fash-
ioned traditional camp experi-
ence. Adventure Camp will run
from Monday through Saturday,
July 3-8. There will be plenty of
outdoor recreation and lessons
that focus students on the Cre-
ator by studying his creation.
Mission'immersion Camp starts
on Sunday, July 9 through Satur-
day the 15. The students will
spend at least half of each day
away from camp participating in
hands on ministry opportunities
in the local area.
For further information and
to make reservations please call
the Riverside Retreat at 675-
0334.
