It looks like the residents of
LaBelle could have good water
coming from their faucets in
about three years. City commis-
sioners have been researching
the issue for many months, but
took the first concrete stop-
toward financing an actual
waterplant at their June 8 meet-
ing.
- The city is looking at building
a reverse osmosis plant, as rec-

ommended by ATM's Grant Mis-
terly. He said it is the standard for
southwest Florida and may be
changed to meet new require-
ments; it ma\ be easily expand-
ed as necessary and produces
high qualitywater.
The city's current water plant
is 30 years old and has passed
design life, Mr. Misterly said.
The commissioners have dis-
cussed several options, but have
decided to limit service to the
existing developed city plus

South LaBelle, plus the Ross
Mclntosh property and Keystone
I and 2 projects.
ATM used data to project the
population of expected growth
areas.
Currently, residents o( LaBelle
use an average of 125 gallons of
water per capital per day, with a
maximurn of 150 gpd per person
per day.
In 2009, figures project that
there will be some 4,270 Equiva-
lent Residential Connections

of those will be in the developed
portion of the city.
Developers provided their
project numbers and ATM rec-
ommended the city build a four
million gpd plant, which should
be adequate till 2017, at which
time some 8,650 ERCs are
expected to be in the city, using
seven million gpd. Then the
water plant can simply be
expanded as necessary.
If design begins this summer,

Mr. Misterly said the new plant
should be completed in 2009.
The cost of a waterplant has
increased dramatically since
planning began. A four million
gpd waterplant nowv costs
approximately $30 million. It
would include new wells, treat-
ment and storage, brine dispos-
al, converting the existing water

booster, a storage station and

Zoning debate

notification

is continuing

By Patty Brant
Debate around how the City
of LaBelle notifies residents
who will be affected by specific
proposed zoning changes is
ratcheting up, led by City Com-
missioner Paul Puletti's con-
cerns that current methods
may be inadequate.
The city does provide nOtifi-
cation as prescribed by law;'
however, recent public outcries
from residents who felt they-
were kept in the dark about
sweeping zoiring changes.have
commissioners seeking better
methods.
The overall discussion on
notification was continued at
the June 8 city commission

meeting, precipitated by a
request, by the Wallace Group
to submit a CDBG application
for a new medical facility. If
approved, the application
would require a $250,000 cash
match by the city. There is a six-
week deadline for submission.
The group would like to put
in a medical facility on the
south side of SR 80, across
from the old Barron property.
The preliminary site plan is for
a 20,000 square foot facility. A
doctor has already committed
to be the anchor tenant, provid-
ing some 20 jobs. An additional
six or seven doctors would be
locating there, ultimately pro-

SnakeMa]
By Kristin Hunter
On Tuesday morning, June
6, at the Civic Center SnakeMan
Cox held a lecture for about 60
city and county employees who
might need useful snake/bug
bite information.
Maynard Cox, also known as
the "Snakeman," is 75 years old.
He was born and raised on
American Indian Reservations.
His Indian name is Zoo-Chow-
Wagani-Meee-O-Suu, which
means Snake Brother Spirit
Guardian. He was born on the
Nez Perce Reservation in Idaho
and then eventually moved by
the government to the
Skokomish Reservation in west-
ern Washington. He started in
Indian schools and was forced
by the government to go to
"white man's school" between
third and fourth grade where he
was given the English name
(which was his grandpa's
name) Maynard Cox.
After high school he joined

She has some doubts that

plant, as the commissioners -
including herself, voted last
week. "I'm satisfied," she said,

and they carry six diseases. He
mentions that a fire ant is not an
ant it has wings and therefore is
a type of wingless wasp. There
are four kinds of deadly bees that
can kill you on contact if you are
allergic. Those are hornets, yel-
low jackets, honeybees and
wasps. He adds that your
immune system changes every
120 days; so one day you may not
be allergic and the next you are.
You can be allergic to something
when you are little and then not
allergic to it later on in life or vise
versa. .
There are four different kinds

of spiders; black, brown, north-
ern and red. For head lice he sug-
gests using four or five applica-
tions of Camphophenique using a
nit comb.
There are two poisonous spi-
ders a brown recluse and a black
widow spider. A brown recluse is
not from Florida originally and
cannot exist longer than a couple
of days outside. However, they
can and do live inside our homes.
He explains that the recent
problems with alligators are
caused by people feeding the alli-
gators so they associate people
with food. He says, "Do not feed
alligators and anyone who does
kick them over the head." '
There are four animals that
carry rabies, according to Mr.
Cox. Those are red foxes, skunks,

raccoons and yellow bats so
beware of these animals. Almost
every one of these animals that
Mr. Cox has caught has had
rabies. -
Mr. Cox 'has assembled three
steps on his business card that
will help you in the case of a
snake bite. They are:
:. -1. Do not cut and suck (the
venom).
2. Do not apply ice or tourni-
quet.
3. Treat (person) for shock. If
their face is pale, raise their tail. If
their face is red, raise their head.
Most everyone knows the say-
ing, "Red on black is good for
Jack" but "Red on yellow kills a.
fellow," referring to the difference
between Scarlet king snakes and
coral snakes.

pump facility.
At this point, some "nuts and
bolts" type planning is required,
such as a preliminary.update on
well field analysis; detail of facility
- number of pumps, size, etc.,
and geologic evaluation. One big
question still to be answered: will
deep well injection of brine
work?
Analyst
Bill Sundstrom took over with
a report on financial planning for
the new water plant. He said,
wtlh 2,195 new homes expected,
each ERC would pay $18 per
month on a bond issue. He said

LaBelle probably qualify for sub-
sidized lending and a 40-year
amortization from RUS. The city
should also look for $4-5 million
RUS grant and $2 million grant
from SFWMD.
Since RUS will not fund pre-
liminary-engineering, etc., the
city will need $41.5 million in

"bridge" financing from banks
before RUS will get involved.
Mr. Sundstrom said it is "logi-
cal and necessary that rates will
rise."
Thursday night's action did
not commit the city to any partic-
ular design, only got the ball
rolling to line up financing.

hiding about 100 jobs, according

The 3.13-acre site includes two

commercial, along with the entire
south side of SR 80 in the city lim-
its.
That portion is what kicked off
the debate over notification of pro-
posed zoning changes again.
Commissioner Puletti asked how
neighbors were notified of that
rezoning. He said several residents
contacted him because they had
no indication of that zoning
change before it happened.
Other residents agreed that
they were unaware of impending
zoning changes affecting them,
including changing a single family
area near the river to high density.

sure all residents also have sewer
- a service less than half LaBelle
residents currently have, she
points out. She believes longtime,
city residents deserve to gel that
service first, before newly
annexed sections. Developers
may want the service, she said,
but it's only right to accommo-
date longtime residents first.
Although she has voted
against several annexation
requests, Ms. Zimmerly said she is
not" opposed to growth, but
believes the city needs to do a bet-
ter job of planning that develop-
ment.
One of the hottest topics in the
city today is the concern over

board recommended the change
to maximize use of the riverfront.
The idea is to have condominiums
in that area eventually, contribut-
ing to a walking downtown area.
Martha Raye Humphries, whose
home is located in that section,
wondered why she could get a let-
ter concerning the quality of city
water but not about zoning that
directly affected her, chalking it up
to "poor management."
The issue of lack of notification
is apparently of most concern
when large sections are consid-
ered for rezoning, as has been the
case recently as the city updates its
zoning map.
At that meeting, the commis-
sioners passed an ordinance to
ease up on zoning that changed
Pinewood and Englewood from
overwhelmingly mobile home
communities to site-built home
communities. Those communities
will eventually be all site-built
homes, but the commission back-
tracked to allow current owners to
apply for a special exception to
replace their mobile home with

what some people see as inade-
quate notification of. neighbor-
hoods affected by zoning
changes. One possible solution
would be for a volunteer to take a
survey of residents in affected
neighborhoods, making sure they
understand what is happening a
procedure she herself once took
part in successfully.
She understands that there is
no easy solution tothis and many
of the serious questions in city
government, and that it will take a
lot of work to solve the problem.
Ms. Zimmerly has immersed
herself in .her position, pouring
over papers and information she
feels important to understanding
the city's workings, as well as the
information packet each commis-
sioner gets for the monthly meet-
ing. She attends code review
meetings on Thursday mornings

another mobile home. However,
once they sell their property there,
those mobile homes may only be
replaced by site-built structures.
SJerron Hull of AIM Engineering
suggested the city might use a'pro-
fessional to identify ways to ensure
proper public notification. He and
Superintendent of Public Works
Michael Boyle will be discussing
the proposal.
In response to a concern about
the size of residences the new ordi-
nance requires for
Pinewood/Englewood, 1,200,
square feet, Commissioner Puletti
promised to revisit the issue. Many
of the residents there live alone
and are on fixed incomes. They do
not require, nor can they afford, a
home of that size.

In other business:
The city approved a request
to help fund veterans transporta-
tion to medical facilities through
the local DAV. Veterans Service
Office Rick Marquith- received
$3,300 from LaBelle, the same

as well as other important meet-
ings. She also finds herself sought
out by residents everywhere she
goes and gets numerous phone
calls from residents with ques-
tions and concerns. As a commis-
sioner, she believes it's her "busi-
ness" to tend to those requests for
assistance.
In. the future she believes
LaBelle should have a planner
and perhaps a city manager. She
also wants to see a good 24-hour
medical emergency facility and a
pool here. She sees paving and
repairing streets as another
important issue.
Ms. Zimmerly feels she has
met some of the goals she started
with two years ago: she had
hoped to get involved and to
increase communication
'between the city and its residents.
There's been progress, in those

amount the program is receiving
from Clewiston and the county.
The Sons of the Legion
received permission to put on a
barbecue at Barren Park before
the Fourth of July fireworks. They
hope to rebuild the annual com-
munity event.

ties for water restriction

soccer field complex. The south-,
west corner has been started. The
complex will include 11 fields,

a skate park. He received approval
to remove five oaks; 88 oaks will
still be on the premises.
Commissioner Hilda Zim-
merlv asked that the board think
about alternatives to the current
oak tree ordinance which requires
residents to seek board approval to
remove an oak tree from their
property under certain circum-.
stances.

sion meeting will be at 7 p.m.

areas, she feels, but there's still a
lot to be done and she wants to
be there to help do it.
Mrs..Zimmerly is retired from
14 years teaching.
She holds a BS in elementary,
education and is media certified
in library science. She has been a
volunteer with the SalvationArmy
and nursing home, 4-H and
taught adult education classes.
Ms. Zimmerly brings a
thoughtful nature to her place on
the city commission. Beware of
plans that sound nice, she warns.
Her philosophy: look below the
surface; think it out to see if it's
really feasible for the whole area
before acting.
The only other seat coming up
in the election is Dave Lyons'. At
this time he has no opponent.

New bridge focus

for CHIP initiative

Citizen's Highway Initiative
Program (CHIP), a rural county
citizen's transportation initiative
established in 2000 to focus com-
munity attention on local trans-
portation needs, is holding a
meeting Thursday, June 22. at 10
a.m. at Flora and Ella's Restau-
Srant. The purpose of this meeting
is to elect new directors and offi-
cers and review priorities for the
coming year. All interested par-
ties are invited to attend.
CHIP was instrumental in
increasing awareness and focus-
ing attention on the need for
accelerating the widening of SR
80 from LaBelle west to Riverdale
and east from LaBelle to US 27.
That portion of SR 80 west of
LaBelle is nearing completion
and the portion east of LaBelle
has been advanced.on the FDOT
funding calendar. CHIP also
helped focus attefition on the
need for improvements to the SR
29 and CR 78 intersection, which
is also nearing completion.

President Larry Hall states
"now is the time to start focusing
on a bridge replacement over the
Caloosahatchee River on SR 29.
With the increased traffic result-
ing from the growth of the area
combined with the amount of
additional truck traffic and the
heightened awareness of the
need for possible evacuation of
the southwest Florida area in
case of hurricanes or other disas-
ters, the time has come to work
with our elected officials.at all
levels for funding sources for a
new bridge."
Mr. Hall adds, "we need peo-
ple who are interested in helping
advance the transportation
needs of the community to
attend this meeting and assist
CHIP in bringing a consensus on
this matter to our elected and
appointed governmental offi-
cials."

I WAS READINGARTICLE IN THIS WEEK'S PAPERABOUT women
who need a new roof. The story says they're asking for donations.
They're being accepted at Olde Cypress Bank and they've got over
$1,000 so far. My question is: in this little town of LaBelle there are so
many contractors and several roofing companies can't one of them
step up and help these women? I think it would be great for them and
great for the community.

I WISH TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF CUSTOMERS in
need of Septic tank service. I needed some work on my septic last
week, I was en route to Naples, and so I did not have a phone book in
my possession. I called a friend (who lived in the home needing the
service) and asked her from my cell phone to look up the number for
the business I have used for many years. She gave me a number she
found in the phone bookyellow pages and the business said LaBelle.
I called the business and asked them if they were the same outfit I
have used for so many years. I asked the girl because I did not know
they were now in Fort Myers, which she told me had only been for a
year or so. I was confused because I told her I did not know they were
in Fort Myers, I had used them just last year.
She again told me I had the right business. They arrived at the job,
claimed they did the job and left with my check for $200. Just a few
days later I called a local plumber who showed me that the septic tank
had never been pumped out. The lid and the grass around it were
never touched. There were three men from the plumbing business
and they had nothing to gain from lying. I have used this plumber for
years and he is very trustworthy.
In summary, just be careful and make sure the business thai you
need or are looking for is indeed whom you want. If you want the one
that has been in LaBelle for years and still is, make sure it is a local
address.
I have no problem at all using a Fort Myers business, but I trusted
the one for years in LaBelle and Iwas mislead.

Letters to the Editor

Information provided
Dear Editor,

I noticed in last week's paper
some questions posed about my
candidacy for City Commission. I
would love the opportunity to dis-
cuss my positions. I announced
my candidacy because of my sin-
cere desire to offer the citizens of
LaBelle a choice. I am committed
to the people of LaBelle and have
been since I moved here more
than 28 years ago. As a citizen and
a pastor, I have tried to help many
people, and I think I will offer a
unique perspective as a City Com-
missioner. As LaBelle continues
to grow, we face several critical
issues that need to be addressed
in a forward looking manner.
First there is the issue of
annexation. I have long been a
supporter of annexation for sever-
al reasons. Annexation expands
the tax base and leads to the even-
tual lowering of taxes. In addition,
newly annexed areas can help off-
set the costs of upgrading our
water plant by creating new rev-
enues. We already serve many of
the outlying areas of LaBelle and
by annexing these areas, we gain
them as tax payers.
As for upgrading. the water
plant-let's face it: Something
needs to be done about the water
in LaBelle. We all know it. The
current city commission has
approved a fact finding plan. The
basic fact is that the current water
plant uses old technology. We
have to have drinkable water and
a new plant with new technology

seems to be the onlyway.
As for roads and infrastructure,
the current water situation has
put many of 'our maintenance
plans on hold. The city has been
in a holding pattern not wanting
to lay new roads only to have
them dug up to install water and
sewer lines. The current city com-
mission has directed staff to
develop a plan to repair and
maintain all streets in LaBelle reg-
ularly, and I think we need to
come up with a plan that address-
es how we can maintain our
roads and get the new sewer lines
installed so we can keep our
roads in pristine quality.
I walk and ride my bike all
throughout the city of LaBelle, so I
know we need sidewalks. Many
grants are available to develop
and maintain new sidewalks in
fact, that is how we got many of
our current sidewalks..I support
the city seeking these grants and
coming up with a comprehensive
development plan to install new
sidewalks around the city.
As for recreational issues, the
recreation board is responsible
for developing new recreational
opportunities around town. I was
part of the founding bf the recre-
ation board and I would support
their actions to develop new
opportunities.
Many of these issues require
research and a deep understand-,
ing of what is at stake. I am com-
mitted to thoroughly investigating
all of the issues and doing my best
to make decisions that benefit our
community. We ha\e to make

investments and plans now so the child, a puppy, a bird or a wild ani-

Dollar Cost Averaging works in share buying
"'. C YI. I .

This week I thought I would
review how Dollar Cost Averaging
is used when making systematic
purchases of shares. This can
apply when you have an automat-
ic check-o-matic withdrawal
arrangement to buy mutual
funds. Or, the same principle is at
work in many pension plans
through your employer. Under-
standing the concept can give you
some peace of mind.
Let's make a few assumptions.
First, each month you automati-
cally buy shares of the Smart
Investor's Mutual Fund. Second,
each month the amount of
money you spend is exactly $200.
Because the price of the shares
varies every month in accordance
with its performance, the variable
is the price on the day of your pur-
chase. One month the price may
be higher than when you first
started and another month the

price may be lower. However, you
wisely continue to make your pur-
chases without regard to the fluc-
tuating market price.
When the price per share is
up, you buy fewer shares. When
the price per share is down, you
are able to buy more shares.
Assuming good and bad perforrn-
ance months are.about.equal,
you end up having all your money
at a "par" point, even though the
price per share is only where it

was when you startedyour invest-
ment.
Assuming you have chosen
your fund wisely or better yet mul-
tiple funds wisely, and make;
equal consistent purchases, then
at some later date if your fund
share price, or the average of your
multiple fund share prices is up
only slightly, you have made
money, even though many of
your purchases were made when
the market appeared to be per-
forming badly.
The idea behind this concept is
to avoid trying to "time the mar-
ket." Just be consistent, month
after month. .
Here is something that may
interest you. Shortly after the Iraq
war in which Iraq invaded and
conquered Kuwait, I attended an
estate-planning seminarfor pro-
fessionals in Fort Myers. In order
to be invited to that seminar put

on. by a bank, you had to be in
one of four categories: an attor-
ney, a CPA, a life insurance.agent
% ith a CLU designation or a mar-
keting vice president of a bank.
During the seminar, with the
doors cosed to the public, one of
the presenters asked all of us who
were involved in the sales or rec-
ommendation of securities, to be
honest in acknowledging our
advice to clients about what the
stock market had done. Had we
guessed or advised our clients
properly in trying to anticipate
what the market would do before
it actually happened? By a show
of hands, about 2.3 of our group
had gotten it wrong. And, we
were the professionals! That is an
example of why you should stick
to, the dollar cost averaging plan,
regardless of the evening news.

potpourri of diverse local and
national events, I've chosen a
few for your consideration.
With all the major concerns
about illegal immigrants it
occurs to me that maybe we
should rethink the INS charter
and function. If we can know
exactly where one cow with
mad-cow disease is located
among the millions of cows in
America, but can't we locate the
illegals, then maybe we need to
put the Department of Agricul-
ture in charge of immigration.
On the subject of whose in
charge of what, I'm wondering if
the "overaged" scandal in
Immokalee might not better be
the responsibility of the Treasury
Department's Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms Enforcement Divi-
sion. They specialize in enforc-
ing "age limit" jurisdictions,
thereby allowing school officials
to concentrate on student educa-
tional needs.
All of this confusion and tur-
moil reminds me that back in the
'60s, the hippies, flowerchildren
and "acid" were credited with
making for a "weird" world.
Now, it seems to me, we seem to
be resorting to Prozac to make a
"weird" world normal.
I believe the term "polariza-
tion" is the word most often
associated with today's "weird-
ness." That and extremism, both
on the right and left, have left
most Americans either apathetic
or cynically seeking a form of
neutral centrism.
Impoverished intellectuals
are caught up in self-centered
diatribe, overly endowed with
everything except tangible com-
mon sense.
Back in the '70s, buoyed by
the extremism of the gut render-
ing division of the nation by Viet
Nam, the seeds for much of
today's divisive, political back-
lash tactics were sowed, result-
ing in today's bitter harvest.
The most frequent comment I
hear is: who will pay for the cur-
rent approach to problem solv-
ing of throwing money at the

t s your world
et Involved

problem.
I do not purport to have the
answer, but I am reminded of a
story that might provide some
insight into the current political
mindset on who is best qualified
to spend our money without
raising a "stink."
It seems there was this poor
shopkeeper located next to a
fancy French restaurant and
each day he would take his mea-
ger sack lunch into the alley
behind his shop.
All the while he is having his
meager lunch he is smelling all
the wonderful aromas of the
French delights.
One day he was surprised to
receive an invoice from the
restaurant for "enjoyment of
food." He complained to the
manager and was told he would
have to pay or be sued, since his
enjoyment of the aromas consti-
tuted consumption of their food.
He refused to pay, was sued,
and went to court. In court the
judge learned from the restau-
rant that every day the shop
keeper sits outside and enjoys
our food cooking aromas,
adding value to his sack lunch.
When asked for his side of
the story by the judge, the shop
keeper responded by putting his
hand in his pocket and jingling
the few coins he had inside.
The judge asked him, "What
is that supposed to mean?"
The shopkeeper replied, "I'm
paying for the "aroma" of his
food with the "sound" of my
money."
So if you think that "smell"
coming out of the government
deserves your consideration,
how about letting them only
"hear" the sound of your
money? If you have any left to
jingle.
Respectfully,

well as food safety. The title of
Noelle's presentation was
"Wo\\ That Chicken."

the photographs. Once the pho-
tographs have been scanned

into the database, the owner can

ning with Tiger Cubs. He has 20

Edades de Los atletas
Hay una polemica ahora con
los atletas de Immokalee en los
deportes de futbol americano y
futbol porque parece que ellos
pusieron a jugadores con menos
edad cuando en realidad tienen
mas anos de los que pide el'
reglamento.Por eso se hablo con
varios.encargados en La Belle
para saber-como esta el asunto
con sus jugadores.
En el Condado Hendry la
edad limited para tender a la
escuela es 21 para los estudi-
antes normales y 22 para los que
tienen algun impedimento fisi-
co. La edad limited para un
jugador de deportes escolares es
19 y 9 meses, unavez que el atle-
ta paso esta edad ya no es elegi-
ble para jugar ningun deported
en la escuela.
La Profesora Guia de la
escuela que registra a los estudi-
antes Elizabeth Williams dijo
que con la cantidad de gente
que viene de otros Estados ade-
mas de los migrants el poten-
cial para que ocurran problems
coino oIs de immokale es
grande en La Belle tambien.El
48% de la population de la
Preparatoria esta compuesta por
emigrantes, hubieron 240 estu-
diantes mas en el curso escolar

que acaba de terminar lo que
genera muchos papeles para
cada persona, no hay tiempo
para saber si los documenteos
son legales o falsos.
Ahora los padres deben de
traer los reports que han tenido
sus hijos en otras escuelas, el
certificado de nacimiento, un
fisico, prueba de residencia en el
Estado (cuentas de renta, tele-
fono, luz, agua etc...) Si no
cuentan con un certificado de
nacimiento entonces pueden
presentar la acta de bautizo, o
algun document religioso que
diga la edad de los hijos o un
document firmado por un abo-
gado y los padres. El Principal
Puletti dijo que la education no
se le puede negar a nadie,- ni
siquiera a los que no tienen
ningun document.

Veloeidad
El equipo encargado de
cuidar el trafico en el Condado
Hendry acordo en su reunion
mensual que La Ley de Enforza-
miento estara cuidando mas la
velocidad en la Calle 80. Del 10 al
22 de mayo hubieron 71 viola-
clones de trafico.Durante el ano
pasado ocurrieron 10 fatalidades
mientars que hasta ahora han
habido 5 victims, es una buena

noticia pero todavia la gente
debe de manejar. mas cuida-
dosamente porque la popula-
cion ha crecido much asi como
el mal clima y los huracanes. La
autoridades recomiendan que
s.iempre used debe de manejar
al limited que se le pide y ponerse
su cinturon de seguridad donde-
quiera que vaya no importa si la
distancia es corta olarga. Los
miembros del equipo notaron
que ahora hay muchos
camiones de basura y otros
camiones pesados en la 80 y la
29.
El Ingeniero del Condado
Shane Parker dijo que habra un
luz en la Calle 78 muy pronto en
la interseccion norte del Puente
en La Calle Nobles
Una acera de cinco pies de
ancho fue aprobada para poner
en La Calle Cowboy Way
enfrente de la escuela primaria
La Belle, se esperaque estara
Usta cuando comience el proxi-
mo curso lectivo 2006- 2007 en
agosto. Ahora hay una political
de que deben de haber luces en
las subdivisions a cada 300 pies
de distancia. Si usted nota que
no hay luces trabajndo en la
calle 80 por favor, llame a La Ciu-
dad para que ellos la reparen

Arrests
La Oficina del abogado del
Estado por el Circuito 20 anun-
cio que Seferino Moreno Gomez
de edad 47 fue sentenciado a 12
anos de prison en la prison del
Estado: El jurado encontro a
Moreno culpable del delito de

na de La Policia.
El 2 de junio aproximada-
mente a las 8:20 p.m La Policia

cerniente a un hombre que esta-
ba exponiendo sus parles pri-
vadas en la Tienda El Dolar

Moore Haven River Rally to benefit Main Street

As bikers rode dowrrAvenue J
in Moore Haven Saturday, June 3,
Main Street Moore Haven pro-
gram manager Tracy Whirls
stood in the center of-the street,
taking photos. The former news-
paper editor, who is also Glades
County's economic develop-
ment director was heard to
observe later, "This is beginning
to feel like a motorcycle rally.
What do you want to bet that in
two years we can be as big as
Leesburg?"
Given only six weeks to help
organize and promote the sec-
ond annual River Rally, spon-
sored by the City of Moore Haven
to benefit Main Street Moore
Haven, Inc., the event drew par-
ticipants from West Palm Beach,
Ft. Myers, Punta Gorda, Cape
Coral and Orlando as well as
communities around Lake Okee-
chobee.
"We met so many wonderful
people in the course of planning
this event. Big Mike Mayo, the
safety officer for Southern Cruis-
ers Chapter 456 in West Palm
Beach, took the time to email me
with advice concerning promot-
ing the event for next year. The
guys with the Christian Motorcv'-
cle Association-Ethan Gramm,
the Florida Regional President,
Chrome, Captain Glenn all
those guys were wonderful
about helping me promote and
organize this thing.
"Ever\one who came talked
about what a great ride it \\as to
Moore Haven, Ms. Whirls said.
"Whether you're coming from
the east coast or the west, from
central or south Florida it's an
hour, two hours maximum to get
here, and once you get out of the
cities, the scenery's fantastic and
the traffic virtually nonexistent."
Moore Haven Vice Mayor and
Harley enthusiast Dave McGee-
urge bikers from around Lake
Okeechobee and beyond to
enjoy the ride over to Moore
Haven on the banks of the
Caloosahatchee River.
"We in Moore Haven wel-
come everyone to our small but
peaceful town by the Caloosa-
hatchee River," Vice Mayor
McGee said. "You'll find that
Moore Haven is a real down to
earth town with a lot to offer. We
have one of the most beautiful
areas around the lake, scenic
parks, and of course, the historic
Lone Cypress tree, on the bank
of the Caloosahatchee River,
where the city was founded in,
1915:"
The riverside park was the
perfect venue for the rally. Resi-
dents and visitors alike lined the
sidewalk across the street from

The second annual River Rally, held on Riverside Drive in Moore Haven June 3, gave visi-
tors, whether on bikes or boats, an opportunity to enjoy the south central Florida City, locat-
ed on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River, an intercoastal waterway linking Ft. Myers and
Stuart.

an airboat with your best hunting
$uddy on a pleasant summer'
night. You've'already watched
the sunset while you and your
friend quickly readied your hunt-
ihg gear to the lulling sound of
pig frogs which seems to grow
increasing louder with the com-
ihg of night. It's now gotten just
dark enough to use the Q-Beam
tp spot the big, bright-red-glow-
ing eyes of a huge bull gator.
How cool would it be to har-
poon one of these beasts and
then have it tow your boat all.
over the lake as you hang on with
11 your might? Since 1988, the
FWC has offered hunters this
exact opportunity by taking part
in its, annual statewide alligator
liarvest. These special hunts pro-
dide a thrilling, hands-on hunting
Adventure unlike any other you
could imagine.
SAt its February commission
treeting, the FWC decided to
extend the alligator,-hunting sea-

ly to race and have fun. They have
classes for kids, ladies, seniors
and men. Staggered drags have
been designed to give the slowest
classes to compete against the
fastest. Everyone is here for com-
petition, camaraderie and fun.
Everybody will race, provided
that they are not in violation of
insurance requirements. If your
machine is in violation you will
run "scratch" and you will not be
allowed to score awin until it is in
compliance.
It is the general policy of this
group that the main purpose is to
have fun. Competition is part of
that fun, but it will not override
the conceptof having a good time
and promoting good sportsman-
ship and fellowship. Adult behav-
ior and good sportsmanship is
expected of everyone. Those that
cannot adhere to those concepts
are invited to leave until they can
comply. .
For more information check
out their website'at www.grass-
car.us or call Mike Miller Sr. at 239-
872-1439.

John and Justin Cagle flush with a Grasscar victory.

your gator hunt permits now

son to give hunters more flexibili-
ty in scheduling their hunts. This
year, the season will be twice as
long as last year and will span 1 I
consecutive weeks from Aug. 15
through Nov. 1. You can choose
among four one-week quota
periods at the beginning of the
season and also hunt the remain-
ing seven-week "open" season
which runs Sept. 12 Nov. 1.
Another positive change this
year is hunters can now pur-
chase additional permits if
they're available. But, only one
permit may be purchased per
transaction.
More than 4,000 alligator har-
vest permits will be available on
a first-come, first-served basis
beginning 10 a.m. (EDT) June
15. You may buy them at any tax
collector's office, license agent,
at MyFWC.com/license or by
calling toll-free 1-888 HUNT
FLORIDA from anywhere within
the United States or Canada.
The cost for the alligator trap-
ping license and the two neces-
sary hide validation tags is $272
for Florida residents, and $1,022
for nonresidents. Additional per-

mits cost only $62 for instate and
out-of-staters alike. Each permit
allows you to take two alligators
from whichever county or
lake/river harvest area you
applied for. Hunters must be at
least 18 years old by opening day,
on Aug. 15 to purchase one, and
no other hunting license or per-
mits are required.
Legal hunting hours during
these night-only hunts is one-half
hour before sunset to one-half
hour after sunrise.
Hunters may take alligators
using hand-held snares, har-
poons, gigs or snatch hooks. Or,
)ou can choose to use projectiles
that are attached to restraining
lines and shot from a speargun,
crossbow or bow. Hand-thrown
spears attached to restraining
lines also can be used.
Bang sticks are then used to
finish the hunt once the gator is
secured to the restraining line
and up close enough to the boat.
But, if you'd rather assist a
friend who's a licensed trapper,
you can pay just $52 for an alliga-
tor trapping "agent" license. You
don't even have to be 18 to buy

one.of them; This license allows
you to take alligators, but only
when in the presence of your
friend.
S If you think you're up to the
challenge and you'd like to give
gator hunting a try but you're not
sure what all's involved not to
wprry. The FWC offers a free,
three-hour training program
throughout the state to teach the
rules and regulations of these
unique hunts. You don't have to
attend, but if you've never been
gator hunting, I'd recommend
going.
Courses will be offered in July
and August, and after you pur-
chase any of these licenses and
permits, you'll receive, in the
mail, an orientation manual and
a listing of exact dates and loca-
tions of the training sessions. If.
you'd like to experience the thrill
of gator hunting, you need to buy
a permit beginning June 15.,
Don't hesitate because the best
hunting areas go quickly. Visit
MyFWC.com/gators and click on
"Statewide Hunts" for more
information on this exciting
hunting opportunity.

Farm Bureau says citrus quarantine

GAINESVILLE The U.S.
Department of Agriculture should
base its final rule regulating ship-
ment of fresh Florida citrus fruit on
conclusive scientific data, Florida
Farm Bureau said today, respond-
ing to a June 6 announcement by
USDA that a quarantine will be
imposed on the shipment of fresh
Florida citrus fruit to other citrus-
Sproducing states next season.
The interim rule from USDA
prevents fresh Florida fruit from
being shipped to 11 states and ter-
ritories: Alabama, American
Samoa, Arizona,. California,
Guam, Hawaii, Louisiana, North-
ern Mariana Island, Puerto Rico,
Texas and the Virgin Islands.
"The ban's impact seems mini-
mal because it only applies to
fresh fruit," said Carl B. Loop Jr.,
president of Florida Farm Bureau,
the state's largest general agricul-
tural organization. "Ninety percent
of Florida oranges are made into
juice. But the proposed rule is
troubling because of its broader
implications concerning the
implementation of other plant and
animal disease quarantines."
The quarantine will allow the
continued shipment of fresh fruit
to non-citrus producing states and
other countries under certain
restrictions.
The rules governing the quar-
antine are expected to be pub-
lished by the end of this-summer.
"We would hope that the Ani-

mal and Plant Health and Inspec-
tion Service (APHIS) would con-
sider only conclusive science
before issuing a final rule.
This interim rule proposed by
APHIS at this time appears to lack
conclusive scientific backing." said
Mr. Loop.
"It is worrisome that the deci-
sion by APHIS was undertaken at
a time when USDA and the agri-
culture industry had gone to great
lengths to urge that sound science
be the guidepost for animal health
and food safety standards," Mr.
Loop added. "The long fight over
reopening foreign markets that
were closed to U.S. beef as a result
of the BSE or "mad cow disease"
scare has troubling corollaries to .
this new situation facing Florida's
citrus industry.
"APHIS should carefully evalu-
ate the restrictions on the move-
ment of plant and animal products
to ensure that such restrictions are
science-based," stated Mr. Loop.
Mr. Loop commended U.S.
Senator Mel Martinez and Florida
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Consumer Services Charles Bron-
son for their efforts on this issue.
and their commitment to finding
solutions for Florida's farmers.
While the announcement of
this quarantine is difficult to
accept, Loop said Florida Farm
Bureau appreciates the USDA's
and Secretary of Agriculture Mike
Johanns' commitment to Florida's
farmers evidenced by Johann

announcing the availability of
$100 million to compensate Flori-
da citrus growers.and commercial
citrus nursery growers for losses
incurred as a result of. the citrus
canker eradication program.
"While the prospect of the
future impact of this rule is trou-
bling and comes at a time when
Florida agriculture is already bear-

BLUE HE

ing the brunt of multiple financial
challenges, the announcement of
this new money is very welcome
news to Florida's citrus growers.'
Loop concluded. .
The Florida Farm Bureau Fed!
eration is the state's largest gener'
al-interest agricultural association
with more than 140,000 member-
families statewide.

State Attorney Steve Russell
warns the public that a new
scam has hit the Internet this
week. An e-mail appears to
come from the FDIC (Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation),
and states that all insurance on
the recipient's bank accounts
will be terminated and asks for
personal identification informa-
lion to avoid the suspension of
insurance The e-mail contains a
link to respond, which appears
to be the FDIC, but the informa-
tion actually goes to a hidden
link. Information including
name, social security number,
and bank account numbers is
requested.
Russell says, "The origination
point for this email is Hungary
Do not respond to it. It is a
scam'" The FDIC says, "Since
last night, they have received
copies of the email from about
50 concerned Internet users."
The FDIC reiterates Russell's
warning and urges consumers
not to respond
The e-mail reads
in cooperation with the
Department Of Homeland Secu-
rity, Federal, State and Local Gov-
ernments \our account has been

Belle Realty,'it's all about service'

Real estate is as hot as the Flori-
da sun in this area. It seems every-
one is either buying or selling
property. So, when you need a real
estate agent, you've got a lot to
choose from.
Belle Realty may be the newest
real estate business in town, but
the folks there have got more than
their share of experience.
Owner/broker Terri Banky has
been in the business for 15 years; a
broker since 2001. For Terri, it's all
about service.
"I love what I do," says Terri,
"It's.like a puzzle, the way I do it -
putting different pieces together to
come up with solid results."
Although she's results-orient-
ed, Terri believes that people
should be comfortable working
With their real estate agent That's
what she wants for all her clients.
She builds relationships. Over the
.. years, she's seen that people who.
Share pleased with their experience
come back again and send their
friends and family to her. "At least
90 percent of my business is refer-
rals and old customers," she com-
mented.
Buying or selling real estate is
an important step for people, Terri
knows, and it's not just about
money. She believes that people
need a comfort level.
"Just walking into a real estate

Vickie Jones, the owner of Style
City Beauty Salon, is from Pom-
pano Beach where she owned a
salon for three years. She and her
husband, along with their four
children ages 15, 13, 4 and 2, sold
their house and salon in Pompano
and started to build a house in Ft
Myers when they decided they'd
rather move to LaBelle. So a year-
and-a-half ago Vickie started work-
Sing as a hairstylist at A Touch of
Class thanks to Paula Hall.
She came to LaBelle planning
to be a housewife but when she
got to LaBelle she soon found out
that no one sells ethnic products or
does ethnic hair so she decided to
go back into business and open up

office can be a life changing move,
and she adds, "we take that
responsibility seriously. We evalu-
ate every situation in light of the
customers' needs"
Passionate about providing real
service to her clients, Terri is hand-
picking her team. 'l takes some-
one special," Terri believes, to be
the kind of agent she's looking for.
Broker associate Shary \\eck-
werth, for example. She began
selling real estate in Arkansas in
1995 and has worked with Terri
since 2001. Shary is also a Gradu-

ate of.the Real Estate Institute and
is working on becoming a Certi-
.fied Residential Specialist. For
Shary, nothing beats the enjoy-
ment she gets out of helping peo-
ple meet their home or property
goals. It's her job to open doors
and opportunities for people,
Shary feels.
"I'm fortunate to have Shary,
who shares my values," Terri said,
"and my newest team member,
Susan Hill. Susan \ ill be starting at
the end of the month Many folks
vill know Susan fiorn First Bank of

a hair salon/beauty supply for peo-

Clewiston, where she's relied on
those same values to serve cus-
tomers for the past 15 years.
Susan said she is very excited
about coming to work with Belle
Realty and she's sharp, adds
Terri. According to Susan, her new
job is about "cultivating relation-
ships, not just making a deal."
Receptionist Leah Roper.
rounds out the Belle Realty team.
Leah is fromAlva and has deep ties
to both Alva and LaBelle. Leah will
welcome you to Belle Realty Com-
pany when you walk in and will be
the first to make you feel like a val-
ued customer.
Terri and her team agree that
they feel "that excitement" in the.
air at their office and they want the
customer to feel it, too. With a
good team generating ideas and
working for the customer, the pos-
sibilities are limitless, Terri said.
She points out that, at Belle Realty, ,
there is no pressure, just experi-
ence that leads to results. No mat-
ter what your real estate needs -
residential, commercial, industrial
or acreage the folks at Belle Real-
ty invile you to come in and "expe-
rience the difference."

Mrs. Jones is looking to hire
one or two licensed hair stylists, a
nail tech or a barber as her busi-
ness grows because right now she
is the only one employed there.
She \ill have a Spanish speaking
person working on Saturday to
cater to the Hispanic population.
She is looking for suggestions
from customers as to what beauty

supplies they would like to see in
the store. Customers can make
requests and she will order them.
She is very open to suggestions.
She \\ill soon be getting in some

like LaBelle, she says, "Because

and she looks forward to having a
thriving business here.

From Sprint to Embarq in one easy step

By Patty Brant

Did you see the Embarq bus
when it came through LaBelle last
Thursday? Set up next to the
chamber of commerce, the big
tour bus was staffed with knowl-
edgeable folks ready to explain
just what Embarq is all about.
Embarq peeled off from Sprint
recently, assuming services like
local and long distance phone
Service, high speed internet and
Dish Network. Sprint'Nextel is
concentrating on wireless com-
munications.
Public Affairs Manager Jeff
Mechlin has 35 years of experi-
ence in the telephone industry.
He and several other Embarq
employees assured those who
stopped by the bus that the only
change they will see is the new
name and the new logo. No rate
changes are planned, but the new
Company will soon be offering
special bundling of certain servic-
Ses.
SThe employees toured for
three days, meeting folks from the
entire area. That Thursday they
set lip in Okeechobee, Moore
Haven, Clewiston and LaBelle.
They had already been through
Arcadia, Wauchula and Avon
Park, and planned to tour Port
Charlotte, Lake Placid and
Sebring on Friday. The tour culmi-
nated in a free concert in Sebring.
Embarq also has several retail
. stores: in Sebring and Cape Coral,
S* with one soon to open on Daniels
Road. There will be a total of 16
throughout the state by the end of
2006. Customers can talk to an
Embarq representative there who
has access to their account infor-
mation and decide what would
be the best package fortheri.
S All the current business num-
bers in the front of the phone
book will remain the same for
Embarq. The company is just
smaller and more localized.
Embarq is in 18 states and has
22,000 employees.
Consumers can look forward
to several new product offerings
in the future.
Hendry County Emergency
Management Director Tom
SKochheiser came to talk with the
Embarq crew. He said that
Embarq will remain part of "the
team" activating 'Emergency

Southwest Florida, Yantai, China, sign partnership compact

Southwest Florida welcomes
a delegation from Yantai in Shan-
dong Province, China, Tuesday
and Wednesday, June 13-14, at
Florida Gulf Coast University in a
historic visit to sign a Sister City
partnership that will provide ben-
efits to businesses, students and
cultural organizations of both
regions. The signing ceremony
was June 14 in the Student Union
ballroom.
County commissioners of
Charlotte, Collier, Hendry and
Lee counties resolved to sign the
Memorandum of Understanding
to build on the partnership

already established between
each region's universities Yantai
University and FGCU'- and pro-
mote further friendship.
The agreement shapes coop-
eration in areas of mutual benefit
such as developing increased
understanding and contact
between organizations involved
in economic development in
both regions, and encouraging
exchanges between the educa-
tional and professional organiza-
tions in Southwest Florida and
Yantai.
Also, the agreement helps to
advance economic relationships

and business opportunities
between the two regions by shar-
ing information and to support
and encourage visits and
exchanges by the citizens of both
regions.
"Yantai's government officials
and university administrators
share our view on the impor-
tance of offering students and cit-
izens a better understanding of
each other's country," President
William C. Merwin said.
Tuesday morning, the seven-
member delegation received a
tour of FGCU and meets with
President William C. Merwin and

FGCU's deans to focus on coop-
erative opportunities for profes-
sors and students. In the after-
noon, they meet with hospital
personnel.
Wednesday at FGCU, the dele-
gation met with local K-12 school
officials, the Regional Business
Alliance of Southwest Florida
and Economic Development
Councils to discuss prospects.
.FGCU hosts the signing cere-
mony at 11 a.m. in the Student
Union ballroom. The University
expects county commissioners,
directors of Economic Develop-
ment Councils, school board

members and superintendents,
representatives from Chambers
of Commerce, local business
executives doing business in
China, foreign language curricu-
lum specialists, and a representa-
tive from the governor's office to
attend, along with FGCU admin-
istrators, trustees, Foundation
board members and College of
Business Advisory Council mem-
bers.
"I sincerely wish Yantai and
Southwest Florida team up for
mutual benefits in economy,
tourism, education and culture,
and I am so glad that I can partic-

ipate in the buildup of this rela-
tionship," Yantai-Southwest
Florida liaison Peng Lu said.
FGCU's association with Yan-
tai University developed as a
result of FGCU signing a cooper-
ative agreement in December
with another Chinese school,
Nankai University in Tianjin, to
offer joint business degrees, cre-
ate executive programs and
launch an Institute for Chinese
Studies.
For more information, media
representatives should contact
director of Advancement Judie
Cassidy at (239) 590-1058.
