The small group has taken significant steps toward open- ing a small homeless shelter here in LaBelle. The group has been assured by the Hendry By Kristin Hunter The Rotary Club of LaBelle awards and installation banquet took place on May 20 at Boo Boo's Restaurant at 6 p.m. The central mission of the Rotary Club is service. The Rotary Club is involved in two major projects. One is the local LaBelle Nature Park restoration project and the other is an international project called the Central Asia Water Supply Project. The Rotari- arns are involved in restoring the nature park so it is more enjoy- able for visitors. The Central Asia venture is a huge project trying to bring in better water quality and water delivery to the central Asia area. The installation of officers included new President Greg Gunter, President-Elect Robbie Bhagwandin, Secretary Mark Lapp and Treasurer Randy Daniels. Jim Eden was awarded the Rotarian of the Year Award. He has been a member for 58 years. When he came to the LaBelle chapter in 1990 there were only six members. Now there are 34 members.

LHS: overage athletes are not an issue By Kristin Hunter At presstime, the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) was still deliberating over possible sanctions of Immokalee High School's athlet- ic program, following the discov- ery of three over-age student ath- letes there. All of the uproar prompted the Caloosa Belle to check with LaBelle High School to see how widespread the situa- tion might be. In Hendry County, the age limit for attending school is 21 years; and 22 years for disabled students. FHSAA age limit rules state th the legal age jimit for high scioeol sports is 19 years,,9 months. Once a student passes that age he/she is no longer eligi- ble to participate in high school athletic competitions. LHS Guidance Department Registrar Elizabeth Williams said that with a huge influx of people coming from out of state, along with.a high population of immi- grants, the potential for this kind of occurrence is high. LaBelle High School has a 48 percent immigration population. There were about 240 new enrollees last year at LHS alone, which generates a lot of paperwork for one person, Ms. Williams said. "Basically, it's an honor system," she continued, "I trust what I'm given to be accurate documenta- tion." Mrs. Williams says she is not allowed to make a copy of passports. There is such a large margin for error simply because there is not enough time, manpower or knowledge to be able.to tell false documents from real ones. Mrs. Williams said, "1 assume that they are all true documents." Parents have to register their children with records from .their past schools before they can be enrolled at a new school. The fol- lowing items must be brought in to the guidance office on the day of registration in order for the stu- dent to be registered: birth certifi- cate, proof of current Florida physical, Florida certificate of immunization, proof of resi- dence such as a light bill, rent receipt, etc., and previous or present report card to verify grade level placement.

The Rotary schol- arship is awarded to one college junior and one college senior as a continuing education scholar- ship. Victor Ostolaza is a second year recipient of the scholar- ship. He currently works at Vision Credit Union and will be a senior at F.S.U. in- Tallahassee double majoring in Finance and Real Estate. Matthew Conley is a first year recipient of the schol- arship. He currently works at Langford Ford as a service tech. He is finishing up his AA at Edi- son College and is hoping to attend F.A.U. in Boca Raton where he will major in Busi- ness. Matthew has been on the Dean's List the last two serres- ters. He has one more class in statistics to take this summer before he will leave for FAU next' 4-H'ers earn annual awards The Hendry County 4-H Pro- gram held its Annual 4-H Awards Banquet. Members received award pins in the dif- ferent 4-H project areas from cooking and arts and crafts to steer, swine and dairy goats. Moreover, junior and senior 4- H members received trophies for placing in the top three in the record book competition in several project areas. Leaders and other adult volunteers were recognized for their many years of service and dedication to the 4-H program from one year to 27 years of service. Mrs. Colette Willis was awarded the Outstanding Leader Award after receiving letters of recom- mendation from her 4-H club members. Mrs. Willis has pro- vided leadership to the Hendry County 4-H Club Program for four years as leader of the Dou- ble "H" Livestock 4-H Club. Dr. Kenneth Keen, DVM, received the 4-H Donor Award for his continued support to the Hendry County 4-H Program and to the Pro Steadman Schol- arship Fund. 4-H members who received special recognition for their accomplishments in 4-H: Brit- ney Woosley received the Out- standing Junior 4-H Award and Christopher Norwood was awarded the Outstanding Senior 4-H Award. These awards were based on letters received from 4-H leaders out- lining their accomplishments in the overall 4-H program. There were four 4-H members who said their final farewells to the 4-H program as.members: Brooke Beatty, Kaci Ringler, Randy Gilbert and Andy Taylor. Brooke Beatty and Kaci Ringler were the recipients of the Pro Steadman Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 each. The Hendry County 4-H Office would like to express its appreciation for all of the par- ents, leaders, volunteers and community leaders who attended the banquet in sup- port of the 4-H program.

Law enforcement is placing extra enforcement on Hwy. 80 focusing on speeding. May 10-22 there were 71 traffic violation citations issued. There were ten traffic fatality cases last year until May and only five this year so far. That is an improvement but driv- ers must still be extra careful with the influx of a new traffic population as well as bad weath- er with hurricane season upon us. Authorities say you should always go the speed limit and remember to wear your seatbelt. Team members noted that there are many dump trucks and oth- ers running red lights on Hwy 80 and 29.

LHS Principal Paul Puletti said that they are not required to make a person turn themselves in if they are illegal. Therefore, if someone has a bad social security card or no passport, and if they are of educa- tional age, they are-entitled to a free education from the US. A student has four years of sports eligibility once they start at the high school. Principals do see sports paperwork but not enrollee paperwork, so if someone had false documents but they were taken for real documents by the time they got to the principal he wouldn't know one way or the other. First a student enrolls, and then students submit forms to the Athletic Director, who submits them to the principal. Then the paperwork goes to the state.

Foreign exchange students go through an agency where all prop- er documentation is required so there aren't normally an. problems with them. Superintendent Tom Conner. who is also a member of the FHSAA board, said that there are two determining factors in age limit problems: requirements of the ath- letic association and enrollment in school. He doesn't feel that there is any problem with over-age stu- dents in this school district. Howev- er, he does realize that false docu- mentation is very feasible. He did add that students over the age limit can pursue a GED. He admitted that preventing -such incidents is "tough" and it's-"not an easily fixed problem." Sonny Hester, Associate Com- missioner of FHSAA, said the FHSAA would have a decision on the four IHS overage students on Wednesday of this week. They would be sending a letter to Deputy Superintendent of Collier County Dr. Eric Williams and to the Immokalee High School stating what the exact consequences would be. He said the FHSAA will not be going around to any other schools to check paperwork. They take problems as they are notified, he added, and they will also not be making any changes to the current FHSAArules. Headlines Stories from Independent's 7 newspapers in South Central Florida.

An arrest is made in florist burglary case As deputies were responding to a burglar alarm call from the Hall Street Florist and Col- lectibles at 70 Hall Street at approximately 3:07 a.m. on June 2, they noticed a light blue in color Mercury run the stop sign at Hall Street and State Road 80. Deputies followed the vehicle south on Martin Luther King Boulevard where, according to HCSO, without regard to possi- ble oncoming traffic the driver ran the stop sign at Cowboy Way and proceeded southbound on Barbara Street. The fleeing vehi- cle attempted to turn to the west onto Mary Street and slid into the ditch, where the passenger exit- ed and fled on foot. Reports say the driver of the vehicle, 56 year old Leolis Chris Troutman, was attempting to exit the vehicle while holding a cash register. Deputy Perry Short instructed the driver to stop and show his hands which he allegedly refused to do and began resisting. Sheriff Ronnie Lee stated that Troutman was charged with; fleeing/eluding police with disregard to safety of persons or property, burglary of structure conveyance, posses- sion of burglary tools with intent to use, petit larceny and resisting officer without violence. Trout- man was booked into the Hendry County Jail with bond set at $22,500. Investigators believe the flee- ing passenger and accomplice to the burglary at the Hall Street Florist was Nathan Yelling, age 27. Yelling has been arrested with bond set at $68,000.

Safety after the storm: Clean-ulp advice Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/HCSO Sheriff Ronnie Lee and state law enforcement for 34 years, having served as Chief of Police of Clewiston, Sheriff of Hendry County and Investigator with the State Attorney's Office in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit of Florida. Sheriff Lee retired from the United States Marine Corps Reserve with the rank of Master Sergeant. Sheriff Lee is a graduate of the National Sher- iffs' Institute. Man charged in lewd, lascivious exhibition On June 2, at approximately 8:20 p.m. Hendry County Sher- iff's Office deputies responded to a call concerning a male exposing himself in the LaBelle Family Dollar Store, 250 West Hickpochee Avenue.. Upon arrival deputies were advised that a male had been exposing his genitalia to store patrons. According to Sheriff Ronnie Lee, within minutes deputies detained an individual matching the man's description in the parking lot of Popeye's Restau- rant. An eye witness traveled to where the suspect was being detained and positively identi- fied Edward Triplett, Jr., age 27, as the person exposing himself in the Family Dollar Store. Based on information provided by wit- nesses that a person under the age of 16 was in close proximity to Triplett at the time, he was charged with lewd and lascivi- ous exhibition in the presence of person under the age of 16. Triplett was booked into the Hendry County Jail with bond set at $100,000. ALEXANDRIA, VA To prepare for the 2006 Hurricane Season, the Outdoor Power Equipmept Insti- tute Education & Research-Founda- tion strongly encourages residents of storm-prone areas to follow basic safety steps when using out- door power equipment for storm clean-up. When used safely, out- door power equipment can be an efficient and beneficial tool for post- storm clean-up. Before a storm, check to make sure the equipment is in wvorkinq order, has fuel and is ready to use Store with appropriate safety gear like gloves and eye and ear protec- tion. After a storm, emergency and medical help may be difficult to obtain. -.-; ... IPrevent post-hurricane acci- dents froin'happening, Users of all outdoor power equipment are urged to: READ the operator's manual before operating equipment.. Keep children and pets away from work area. Dress properly for the job: wear proper footwear, snug cloth- ing, gloves and eye/ear protection. Clear area before starting. Handle gas carefully and shut off engine when refueling. Keep hands and feet away from ANY moving parts. Use appropriate tool to clear any jams only after shutting off engine. Do not operate when tired or under the influence of alcohol or medication. Operate only in well-ventilated areas. For generator operation: . ,* DO NOT operate power gen- erators in enclosed areas.

Letter to the Editor More information, please Editor I readwith great interest the arti- de about Cliff Avery wanting to be our new Treasurer City Commis- sioner. I have known Pastor Avery for a number of years, as I was once a member of his church. During those years he never expressed an interest in a political career. My first question to him would be why he decided to run for office now and- why did he choose to run against Commissioner Zimmerly instead of Commissioner Lyons? Also I would ask Pastor Avery to explain where he stands on the current issues. The issues of annexations, the scope and funding of the new water plant, the expansion of sewers to all cur- rent residents of LaBelle, repair of the infrastructures of road and side- walks within the city, the new rezoning of the city and yes, recre- ational issues. I have an under- standing of where Commissioner Zimmerly stands on these issues as I make it a practice to attend city commission meetings. In order for the voters to make an informed decision, I am asking Pastor Avery to inform the readers of the Caloosa Belle of his stand on these issues. I was particularly interested in his observation that "I have seen a Commission that is compassionate and caring that works to the point of frustration to not hurt anyone's feelings" He finds that focusing on anyone's feelings sometimes leaves out the consideration of what is best for the city. Since the May city commission meeting is the only one that I have ever seen Pastor Avery attend, I assume he is refer- ring to the issue of the rezoning of the whole section around Tropi- cana north of Cowboy Way. For those reader's not familiar with the issue allow me to recap. The area in question has for years been zoned for mobile homes. It is quite a large area and more than 99 percent of the residents do live in mobile homes. The Code Board rezoned the whole area as RI excluding future mobile homes use. This was deemed to be in the best interests of the future of LaBelle. A resident of this area, who had heard nothing of this change, bought a new mobile home and went to the city to permit the new home. Due to the rezoning he was denied a permit, even though he had already purchased the home. He came to the commission in April to seek remedy for his dilem- ma. Bottom line, the city granted permission for him to replace his home. The activity involving this action alerted the community in the rezoned area (who had never been notified of this change) to take action against the rezoning. The May commission meeting that Pas- tor Avery attended was the arena in which these concerns were voiced. In response to the outcry, the com- mission voted that they would not prohibit the replacement of mobile homes but would require home owners to come before them and ask permission to replace. Yes, that seems to me a compas- sionate decision. How would Pas- tor Avery have voted were he a Commissioner? Will he tell us, please, what he believes is best for LaBelle? What hard decisions is he planning to make? We voters need to know how much dislocation of our way of life can we expect to suf- fer if he is voted in as Commission- er?

WT ^^ ~~7 l 11*1 It never ceases to amaze me how a simple article on "Time as money' could exact several meaningful responses. One that particularly stimulat- ed my libido came to me as a statement about "several non-lin- ear waterfowl" having delayed a- proposed zoning ruling. Now I pride myself on having a reasonable understanding of the English language, but I had to question what was meant by the statement. It turns out that the phrase, simply stated, is "not having your ducks in a row," which the person then referenced to my article about the value of time and not wasting anybody's time. The other reminder of time's irreplaceable value was captured -in the phrase, "Living the dash" which I had heard of, but not related to lately. For those of you not familiar with "the dash," it refers, again, to making total use of your time. It is evidenced every time you view a tombstone where thev have the person's name and date of birth separated by a dash for the expiration date. The. message in "Living the dash" is: make sure you spend your "dash" wisely. Laugh long, live long. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the "present." Carrying my thoughts on the value of time, I think maybe the Buddhists have the right idea about time. They believe that neither the past nor the future exists. Living our lives in one present moment after another, they see no ration- ale supporting what's to be gained wasting any of our pre- It's your worfl Get InvolvedU cious, irreplaceable moments dwelling on what's already hap- pened. 'Moments that can't be changed, or for that matter, wvor- rying over what may or may not happen in the future. With total respect and rever- ence for the deceased, they still believe that we should converse with the living for as long as we exist. Let the dead conversewith the dead. . Yes I know that many people will go to any lengths to avoid speaking of completing "the dash", so it is with the help of my great-granddaughter that I may be able to lighten the mood and your concerns. At four years old and wise before her years, she respectfully submits to attending Sunday morning church services, up to a certain time restraint. This past Sunday the Rev- erend's sermon exceeded her time frame and she became very restless. Finally, after several fruit- less signals to her mother, as the sermon dragged on and on, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy' if we give him the money now, will he let us go?" How typical that out of the mouth of babe's come "linear" truths that strip avay, all the time restraints we somehow allow to prevail in our lives. I trust this article is timely and in some small wa\ can influence your linear living patterns in Hendry. Respectfully, T. W. Bill Neville (Hendry County Citizen and Tax Payer) Joke of the week The Pope and the Jew Several centuries ago, the Pope decided that all the Jews had to leave the Vatican. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Jewish community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Jewish community. If the Jew won, the Jews could stay. If the Pope won, the Jews would leave. The Jews realized that they had no choice. So they picked an elderly aged man named Moishe to represent them. Rabbi Moishe's Latin wasn't very good - in fact, he knew very little-but he was a man of great faith and well respected in the Jewish commu- nity. The pope agreed. What could be easier than a silent debate? The day of the great debate came. Moishe and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers., Moishe looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Moishe pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too good. The Jews can stay." An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what happened. The Pope said: "First I held up three lingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one fin- ger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to -the ground and showing that God was also right herewith us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind meI of original sin. He had an answer for everything What could I do?" Meanwhile, the Jewish com- munity had crowded around Moishe. "What happened?" they asked. "Well," said Moishe, "First he said to -me that the Jews had three days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us was leav- ing. Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Jews. I let him know thatwe were staying right here." "And then?" asked a woman. "I don't know," said Moishe. "He took out his lunch and I took out mine."

From Emergency Manage- ment Director Tom Kochheiser: During the hurricane season Hendry County Emergency Man- agement continually monitors weather conditions which could affect the citizenry. Through the National Weather Service, the National Hurricane Center and local weather officials, informa- tion is received and transmitted quickly and efficiently to the gen- eral public as to what can be expected and recommended actions to take to protect individ- uals and their property. Plans have been and are con- tinually under review to provide the citizens of Hendry County the highest levels of timely, accu- rate and coordinated informa- tion as to weather conditions which may have the potential to negatively impact them. This information also includes actions which should be taken, and what can be expected. Dis- semination of specific informa- tion will occur through local media to the public on a contin- ual basis as conditions warrant. In the event of another direct hit Hendry County, through the Emergency Operations Center, Florida Division of Emergency Management, FEMA, along with a host of other public and private agencies will work closely in coordinating efforts to provide recovery efforts as quickly as possible to the citizens affected. There have been a tew changes that will make a differ- ence in the method information is disseminated with the City of, Clewiston. This year when the V V , Insurance: It's worth the high premiums'' This week my financial tip is about the importance of carry- ing liability insurance. The odds that you will have a lawsuit filed against you are very good. We live in a litigious society. When you see attorneys advertise every day, make that every cou- ple of hours, on television to call their law firm because you may. be entitled to money, they say things like "we are for the peo- ple." Well, if they are for. the people, who are they against? It's all the other people. Remem- ber, for every one person who files a lawsuit, at least one, and often very many people, are the ones on the other end getting sued. Have you seen the Stella Awards? Stella was the lady who many years ago spilled hot cof- fee on herself while riding in a car. She had bought it at McDon- alds and complained that it was too hot. She sued-for millions. A man named Randy Cass- ingham, who became tired of seeing all the frivolous lawsuits that judges just won't throw out of court, started giving out what he calls the Annual Stella Award. He has a web page on the Inter- net: www.stellaawards.com. You should definitely go there and read about the cases every month. The site is free. If you request to be added to his mail- ing list, he will email you once a month. The cases are ridiculous. When you consider all the insurance premiums you pay every year, it gets irritating. Especially, if you don't ever have any claims. It is a lot of money. Nevertheless, when I hear peo- ple say they are going to drop their insurance because of the high cost, I always caution them about going without coverage. That is very risky. You could lose everything to one of those law- suits or a disaster such as a hur- ricane. A regular homeowner's poli- Financial Tips byWayneC. Swttzer cy has personal liability as a part of its coverage. That coverage usually extends to undeveloped raw land that you own, includ- ing cemetery plots. However, some other properties you own may not be covered unless you purchase an OLT (Owners, Landlords, & Tenants) liability policy. If you build a new home, whether you are an owner- builder or you hire a general contractor, be certain to talk.to your property-casualty agent. about builder's risk coverage and worker's compensation and an OL&T policy. Remember that.your liability insurance is not just to protect you when a judgment is award- ed against you. It also pays your. attorney's fees (defense costs); whether you are guilty or inno- cent. I am all in favor of you getting on the phone with your agents and reviewing your premiums because lots of times by chang- ing deductibles or comparison shopping you can save some money. But, one major caution! Right now in the State of Florida be very careful about dropping or changing from your present homeowners carrier, as lots of companies have either pulled out of the state or greatly' increased premiums. Some companies even refuse to accept any new clients because of the hurricane/wind exposure. Be sure you have good liability' protection. Wayne C. Switzer, CLU' Communityewsza.com EOC is activated, the City of Clewiston will send represent. tives to the County EOC to relay information to City staff as it becomes available. The informa- tion the 18 County Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) pro- vide will be given to City staff; additionally, all additional infor- mation surrounding the event can be observed and shared. This will most definitely improve communications between the County and City. The County has an approved Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan that is reviewed and modified, as need- ed, annually. EM is tasked with coordinating with each ESF at least annually. There are some really blight- ed areas in the county North LaBelle and SR 29S, for instance. Are there any plans to improve those areas through zoning or' code enforcement? . From Director of Code Enforcement Ken Bennett: Since the Board's approval of additional employees, we have begun more code enforcement throughout the county. Howev- er, we have recently redirected all code enforcement staff to move out to cover the' road: debris, in Harlem and East Clewiston in an effort to have it', removed as quickly as possible. The code enforcement process is going to take a little while to get on top of. We have begun to make good progress .with some problems that havel gone unresolved in the past. Pro- viding we are lucky enough not to be involved in any hurricanes this year, we should be able to complete the Hurricane Wilma clean up and demolitions within the next 90-120 days. (That is our goal). As time permits, we are working in the blighted areas to correct the most serious viola- tions of the codes. After Wilma clean up has been completed, we should begin to make a stronger presence in the remain- der of the county. Our office still responds to complaints within a couple, of days. The average complaint takes staff approximately two months, unless court action is required.

Hurricane season officially start- ing June 1, Florida Power & Light Company offers hurricane prepa- ration advice to help residents save their trees while reducing the risk of tree-related outages. "We love our trees here in Flori- da," said Steve Anderson, vegeta- tion specialist for FPL. But the last two storm seasons claimed many, and some knocked over power lines, causing power disruptions and safety hazards. "A little plan- ning %will go a long way toward pro- tecting our trees, our property and our safety," said Anderson. FPL recommends the following tips to prepare Florida residents - and their trees for the upcoming storm season while minimizing the likelihood that trees will interfere with power lines and disrupt elec- trical service: Now is the time, before a hur- ricane threatens, to survey and pre- . pare your yard. Look for dead or Weakened branches that could snap during a storm and begin pruning to help trees better with-, stand high winds. *If you do see a tree angled in or too close to a power, line, don't- Large Trees Medium Trees try and trim it yourself. Only spe- cially trained line, clearing profes- sionals should work around power lines. If a tree or branch has dam- aged a pole or line, creating sparks or a power outage, call 1-800-4- OUTAGE to report the problem. The best way to keep trees from interfering with power lines is prevention: choose the right tree and plant it in the right place to begin with. Consider the mature height of a tree when planting near overhead electric lines. FPL olfers specific tips on the selection and proper placement of trees through its Right Tree Right Place program.

Caloosa Belle, Thursday, June 8,2006 Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Linda McVey Winner! Runner Linda McVey has succeeded in a grueling test of fit- ness and will, completing a half Ironman triathionon May 22. After training on and off for a year and studying hydration strategies, she swam 1.2 miles, biked 56 miles and ran 13.1 miles in 09:25:31. She missed her start time and had to start with the 30-34-year-old men. Although her official time says she had a very slow swim time, she said she actually had a respectable 40 minute swim. She managed to deal with a harrowing near collision with a pick up truck during the cycling portion of the race and completed the run despite a nasty slam to her hip from the bike ride to complete her dream. Through it all she managed to catch up with the women in her age group and passed some. An ecstatic Linda said of her triumph, "I wasn't sure if I was ready, but I was surprised at how good I felt during the race."

Be careful when using fire for anything including campfires and barbecues. Make sure someone . watches the fire at all times until it is out. Know and practice firework safety be sure fireworks don't land on dry brush or grass. Closely watch for any sparks that might fly from equipment you may be using. This includes not only grinding equipment and torch- es, but also any lawn care equip- ment and off road vehicles. Be sure that spark arrestors are in place on all engines used near wildland fuel. Have these engines tuned so they donHt back. fire Supervise children and be sure they understand the dangers of fire and the possible consequences of their actions. Report any fire immediately. If parking on dry grass or brush, remember that the heat of your car can start a fire. Extinguish all smoking materi- als before discarding.

A series of public workshops and public meetings ensured that hunters, fishermen, hikers, birdwatchers and other nature- based activists had the opportu- nity to comment and provide feedback. Recognizing that any proposed public usage must first and foremost be compati- ble with restoration goals, the agency developed the Public Access and Recreational Use Policy. This workshop continues to meet quarterly to provide public input to recreation deci- sions on district lands. The recreation, policy speci- fies that the permitting, design and construction phase of all restoration projects must also include public access along with the funding to provide facilities I- for a variety of nature-based recreational activities provided such uses are consistent with the project's restoration purpos- es. A phased-in, step-by-step process ensures that planned recreation activities grow over time in a manner compatible \\ith the projects purpose. Recreation should start after project construction is complete and the facility is operational for some reasonable time.- For example, the 40,000 acres oi stormwater treatment- areas built to reduce phospho- rus levels in water before it flows into the Everglades went through a period of operations and monitoring before being opened up to the public. The current stormwater treatment area recreation has grown suc- cessfully over the last several years. New designs for public access sites will be built in 2007. Not only are these constructed. wetlands now successfully removing excess phosphorus, they have also become some of the most popular bird-watching and duck-hunting areas in the nation. This year, alligator hunt- ing has been added to the list of recreation activities allowed in these marsh areas. For the St. Lucie, Caloosa- hatchee and Everglades Agricul- tural Area reservoirs, a similar process will be used to allow public boating access. While the project design will include the construction of boat ramps and parking facilities, the public will not have immediate access to the reservoirs. The District will first operate and monitor condi- tions to ensure the projects are functioning properly from a restoration perspective and that any unforeseen issues are ade- quately addressed. -, ~ 'i. - Reason #24 to join Suncoast.

There are current- ly 65 kids enrolled. The summer camp includes arts and crafts, PE, reading class, math class, science class and computer assisted math lab. Breakfast and lunches are offered for free as well as bus trans- portation. The students are given one hour every da\ for arts and crafts. So far they have made such things as patriotic coasters, picture frames and wind chimes. The students are currently build- ing rockets in science class called the Delta Fvlyer to launch next week. By building and learning about rockets the students are learning reading skills as well as math and science without even realizing it. They have to read technical direc- tions carefully to make the rocket w ork. They also have to understand aerodynamics to make a good rocket. LMS science teacher John Sulli- van said, "This is how we get the kids interested in math and science - by hands-on learning. It is a shame we can't have more hands on learning in the science department here at the .middle school during the regular school year."

It is a federally-fund- ed program that started in November 2005 but didn't become fully operational until January 2006 due to Hurricane Wilma. The forerunner of the pro- gram was to.have a motivational speaker come. annually and speak at both high schools in. Hendry County. The speaker would talk about abstinence and positive life choices. The speaker chosen was Mr. Doug Herman, who is one of the nation's premiere speakers on sexual choices and conse- quences. He spoke at Clewiston High School on April 20, 2006- and at LaBelle High School on April 21, 2006. Mr. Herman is a unique speaker and kept the stu- dents captivated and spellbound with his humor and true life sto- ries. At one point during the assembly several students were moved to tears. Mr. Herman shared his life story about the loss of his wife and daughter to HIV/AIDS due to an infected blood transfusion. Doug Her- man has been speaking interna- tionally since 1991. In his mes- sage, he stresses the importance of self-worth and respect for oneself. He points out that the youth must value each other's individuality-- not for what they look like or what they can do physically. He gave some startling statistics on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that are widely spreading among the youth; even in Hendry County. , In the upcoming school year (2006-2007) the abstinence message will be taught in the high schools to 9th-11 th graders. There will be parent permission slips and surveys sent prior to the curriculum being imple- mented. A strong portion of the grant requires parental partici- pation. I'M N Charge Abstinence Only Program (INC) would like to thank the principals, assistant principals, staff, and students of Clewviston and LaBelle High School for theii accormmoda- tions and hospitality extended to Mr. Herman and the staff of Hendry County Health Depart- ment. Program staff is looking forward to serving the students and families of the Hendry County School system fiL rN PAUL ROSER REALTORS 863-675-0898 OFC: ILLI PERSONAL ATTENTION WORLDWIDE INTERNET MARKETING NIKKI YEAGER, Sales Associate PAUL ROSER, Broker Nikki@NikkiYeagerRoser.com Paul@PaulRoser.com 239/584-2005 cell 239/564-2002 E I m Cell: 239-872-7665 Alva: 239-728-9998 -, ,--.

Ju- *~ v %.u. q ol* 4"lz**eo* U- 12 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, June 8,2006 Farming vital to state's economy By MaryAnn Morris Historically, Florida has always been all about agricul- ture, from drainage pioneer, Hamilton Disston in the 1800s, to sugar pioneers, Edwin Mott and the Fanjul family. Farmers came from the "dust bowl" of the mid-west in the 1930s and before. Some of the state's first set- tlers were cattle ranchers in the 1800s. These tough pioneers rounded up the scrub cattle they found in Florida. The cattle were descended from the cattle left by Spanish explorers in the 1500s and 1600s. Early Floridians turned the wild cattle into a busi- ness, driving them to the west coast of the state to be'shipped to Cuba for beef. They also pro- vided, meat for Confederate troops during the Civil War. Agriculture is a very profitable business in Florida. In 2003, 30 percent of the land in the state was farmed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). With year-around warm temperatures and 50- some inches of rain, Florida is ideal for many crops. In addition, North Florida's Thorobred horse industry has produced 86 equine millionaires, including 1978's Triple Crown winner, Affirmed. S Agriculture made a $62 bil- lion impact on Florida's econo- my in 2003 according to the Florida Department of Agricul- ture and Consumer Services (FDACS). The industry accounts for 6-48,000 total jobs and $6.-l billion in actual production. 9 Greenhouse/nursery, opera- tions account for $1.6 billion; tomatoes, $516 million; cattle, _ more than $348 million; and, sugarcane, $560 million.. Florida produce finds its way i into nearly every household in n the U.S, and has agricultural trade with over 100 foreign countries generating $1.3 billion in cash receipts. (FDACS) All those agriculture indus- tries require water. , Virtually all Florida's water ( comes from rain. There are no i spring-fed underground rivers i here just rain that falls on the ground and people who use' it. People use it to drink, wash laun- ' dry and cars, water lawns, and grow vegetables, fruit trees, landscape plants and sugarcane. ' Water in Florida can be found f in two places: ground water % (underground aquifers) which b supplies 62 percent of the state's ( water needs and surface water i (lakes and the canals that flow r from them), which supply the 1 remaining 38 percent. Water sci- s entists and managers have e developed classifications for . working with water data: Public, t (water plants for homes, busi- ! nesses, etc), and self-supplied, i agricultural, commercial (includes mining), recreational (golf courses, for instance), and power generation. Only some is metered; most is estimated, based on a "factor" a number value proven by use to represent the actual amount used. Ground water is used for 92 percent of the state's drinking water. Power plants and irrigation consume 82 percent of the sur- face water used. SMost of the surface water is from managed canals and lakes, such as Lake Okeechobee, which supplies Glades, Hendry, Martin, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties, the Caloosahatchee River (Glades, Hendry and Lee counties. A large percentage of the water that is flooded onto fields or groves is not absorbed and is pumped back into canals or ditches for later use. Although public (water plants) and domestic (from wells) water use has increased due to population increases, the per capital (per person) use has been reduced from 144 gallon per day consumption in 1983 to 106 gallons per day in 2000. This is due to more use of reclaimed water (treated wastewater or sewage) for irrigation of land- scaping, more efficient water fix- tures and increased use of xeriscaping (grouping thirsty plants together and using more native plants) techniques for landscaping. Commercial water use, broadly is for general commer- cial, 10 percent; food production and manufacturing 6 percent; pulp and paper, 27 percent; and mining, 33 percent. Polk County is the largest commercial water user in the South Florida Water Management District. Water used for mining of phosphate, sand and limestone accounted (road building) for the vast majority. Recreational water use includes watering grass in public parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, golf courses, green areas on highways and cemeteries and filling non-agricultural ponds and swimming pools.

Sugar refineries produce more-water, recovered from the, )cane being processed, than they use. Water discharged from agri- cultural uses back into canals may be later pumped back into cultivated acreage for re-use. Most water for recreational uses is for golf courses, which use 72 percent of the recreation- al water and 48 percent of the reclaimed water. 61 percent of recreational acreage is for golf courses. Golf courses are *designed with ponds to catch runoff for re-use as well as esthetics and water hazards. . The largest consumers of water in Florida are agriculture and recreation. This is mainly due to high evapotranspiration during hot, dry weather when demands are high. Because of changes to the Florida environment, a program of "Best Management Practices" (BMP) has been implemented by the water management dis- tricts, particularly SFWMD where the areas that drain into the Everglades (watershed, or basins) are concerned. BMPs are five categories: nutrient control, nutrient source, water manage- ment, sediment control and pas- ture management. The FDEP, University of Florida, Institute of Food and agricultural Sciences and landowners in the EAA financially sponsor research to monitor the BMP program. The 1994 Everglades Forever Act targeted the reduction of phosphorous in the water as key to the ecological health of South Florida. The Kissimmee River Watershed, by way of the river- and Lake Okeechobee and much area to the south of the lake is monitored for phospho- rus. The goal was to reduce phosphorus by 25 percent. Phos- phorous'has been reduced, ,not by 25 percent, but by more than 50 percent in the EAA since the program's start.

The simple task of spending 20 seconds prop- erly wetting, lathering and rinsing your hands can prevent the trans- fer of germs from a sick individual to a healthy individual. "Washing your hands is a very effective method of 'infection con- trol. In the home, individuals should be aware of the times that it's crucial to wash up: before preparing food, after changing diapers and after using the bath- room," said DOH Deputy State Health" Officer Bonita Sorensen, M.D., M.B.A. "Taking just a minute to properly wash each entire hand, paying close attention to the nail beds and under fingernails, can be your best protection." One of the common diseases that can be prevented by proper hygiene is norovirus disease. Norovirus disease, commonly called a "stomach bug," causes diarrhea and vomiting, and is usu- ally associated with fever, headache and malaise. Most peo- ple get better within 1 or 2 days, and they have no long-term adverse health effects related to their illness. However, rarely, peo- ple are unable to drink enough liq- uids to replace the liquids they lost because of vomiting and diarrhea. These persons can become dehy- drated and may need special med- ical attention. This problem with dehydration is usually only seen among the very young, the elderly and persons with weakened immune systems. Whenever you are sick or you are assisting a sick individual, whether a child or an adult, it is important to remember to proper- ly hand wash. While handwash- ing with soap and water is the most effective method of hand cleansing in food-service settings, an alcohol-based hand gel can be .used if you do not have access to soap and water. DOH recommends the follow- ing guidelines for safe food han- dling: Wash your hands -before preparing or eating food, after using the bathroom or changing a diaper, after handling uncooked food, after playing with a pet, after handling garbage, after tending to someone who is sick or injured, after blowing your nose, and after coughing or sneezing. When defrosting frozen foods, it is best to thaw the food in the refrigerator where it will remain at a safe, constant temper- ature of 40 degreesFahrenheit or below. If that is.not possible, food can be defrosted in the microwave, or by running cold water over the food item. When preparing foods, fol- low the appropriate temperature guidelines for defrosting, cooking and cooling. Store leftovers within two hours of cooking. Realize that in settings where multiple people are touching fin- ger foods in a common serving dish and/or using tongs that might be laid back onto foods, there is the possibility of transmitting norovirus and other infections. If you cannot enforce handwashing in such settings, it is advisable to avoid serving foods in this man- ner. DOH promotes and protects the health and safety of all people in Florida through the delivery of quality public health services and the promotion of health care stan- dards. For additional information, visit DOH's Web site at www.doh.state.fl.us. For hand- washing tips visit. httlp: xvw.'cdc.go\ cleanhands/ or contact your local county health department.
