They have no insurance and
were turned down by FEMA.

June 2006 marks the 25th
anniversary of AIDS. having been
first diagnosed in the USA. Since
then, the spread of HIV and AIDS
has become a global pandemic.
By the end of 2004:
39.4 million people world-
wide were thought to be li\ ing.
with HIV/AIDS;
S* More than one million of
those live in the US;
25 percent of Americans
with the disease were infected
by age 22;
There have been an addi-

By Patty Brant
Hendry County EMS has a
new tool to help save lives. The
same type of personal watercraft
you see playfully zipping across
the water on weekends can dou-
ble as rescue vehicles out on the
river.
EMS Director Randy Bengston
jumped at the opportunity pro-
vided by US Congressman Mark
Foley 'a couple months ago,
when his office relayed an offer
from the Personal Watercralt
Association to lease these vehi-
cles to local emergency agencies
Hendry County is the first to
receiveone of these craft.

The Honda Aquatrax F-12
four stroke DOHC personal
watercraft will provide quick
response to river emergencies,
said Mr. Bengston, and will pro-
vide easy river patrol capabilities,
especially in tight areas like
oxbows. In an emergency, they
can be launched much quicker
than the EMS-Fire rescue boat -
providing a much better safety
net forvictims of river mishaps or
.those who need medical atten-
tion while onboard a boat. The
craft will carry three people and
can tow a patient on a back-
board or in a specialized floating

tional 22 million deaths world-
wide related to HIV;
That figure includes
500,000 deaths in the US;
25 percent of Americans
infected with HIV don't know it:
Don't think HIV testing is
Importadnl How about this:
You.can have HIV virus for up
to ten years before ever showing
any symptoms. During that time
HIV is multiplying by the millions
in your body and you are capa-
ble of infecting others. You.may
feel.fine, but your immune sys-

tem is actually in.a war with a
deadly opponent. HIV testing is
important so you can seek.med-
ical care if you are infected. Also,
research has shown that most
people who know they're infect-
ed take special car not to infect
others.
Medical science has yet to
find a cure or a \accine for HIV.
Research continues, ,but the
virus .is especially tricky. It can
mutate in \%ais that prevent HIV
drugs tronm \oiking prope ly.
These drug resistances can be

passed to newly-infected individ-
uals, even though those people
had never taken HIV medica-
tions before. HIV/AIDS medical
care often includes daily multiple
doses of dilferent medications.
These strong medications defi-
nitely improve the life expectan-
cy of those living with HIV or
AIDS,. but they also can have side
effects. And there's always the
fear that someone will reach the
point when HIV medications no
longer \\ork..
Living with HIV, AIDS makes

life much more complex.
Patients normally see their doctor
monthly. Their blood is moni-
tored to see how strong their
immune system is and how
many HIV viruses are estimated
to be in their blood. Medication
regimes are based on the results
of these tests. With good self care
and regular visits to the doctor,
those living with HIV or AIDS can
lead healthier lives.

Shelter plans

undergo change

By Patty Brant

Plans for a local homeless
shelter look like they're begin-
ning to gel and '
LaBelle area homeless will'
eventually have a place of tem-
porary respite. The Hendry
County Homeless Coalition is
overcoming a few snags to its
plan to open a small shelter at
the site of Freedom Fellowship
Ministries on SR 29N.
In discussions, with the
county planning and building
departments, the coalition has
found that a shelter would have
to be almost twice the size it
was planning Code enforce-
ment requires a minimum of'
600 square feet for such shel-
ter; the- coailtiou i haJ beten
looking at a 3F60 square foolr
shed to modify \with a sleeping
area. That plan would also have
required a variance from the
county.

Coalition members met
with zoning personnel last
week and came away heart-
ened by what they learned. The
site for the proposed shelter is
zoned commercial, and a
homeless shelter is allowable
under that zoning.
The idea of rriditri ng a
shed or using a mobile home is
not really feasible, they learned,
'but a 600-square foot cinder
block or frame -uiiding would
be acceptable. A mobile home
would require a special excep-
tion.
President of the. Hendry
County Homeless Coalition Rita
Dunne said 'the group is now
considering a slightly\ larger
facility than originally planned,

Big shoes to fill
By Kristin Hunter

June 30 is Paul Puletti's offi-
cial last day as LHS principal.
When asked why he was mov-
ing on Mr. Puletti simply said,
"It was time." "Everything was
moving upward; the school
grade increased, the 'staff was
coming together and the
school would be in good shape
for the new person coming in
after being repaired and land-
Sscaped." He felt as though he
was leaving the school in good
condition.
Mr. Puletti has a long history
at LHS. He graduated-from LHS
in 1975. He spent 20 years of
his life on the faculty there. He

began teaching at LHS in 1986.
He was an English teacher for
nine years; he taught reading
for three of
those years;

last seven
years as
principal
and four .

Work with crisis pregnancy honored

There was a luncheon held on
June 5 to honor Janis Davidson's
volunteer work with the crisis
pregnancy center and her retire-
ment from the board.
I asked Janis the following
questions: Tell me about the Cri-
sis pregnancy center and how it
Works. How many years were
you a part of this and how many
years were you on the board?
What did you do over the course
of your time with the center?
How has it changed? Where did
you meet?' This is how she
responded: To answer your first
.two questions, Janis said, "I was
a part of a group of women here
in LaBelle who saw a need for a
crisis pregnancy center for
women in Hendry County and
began searching for a way to
meet that need. Somewhere in
the mid 80's, I believe, we, as a
group of volunteers became a
satellite office of Shepherd Care
Ministries of Hollywood and Ft.
Lauderdale. Years later we incor-

porated as Precious Life Center of
LaBelle."
Originally, we offered free
pregnancy tests, counseling,
informative literature and videos,
maternity and baby clothes and
maintained a 24-hour phone line.
We were available to do informa-
tional programs in schools,youth.
groups, or business group meet-
ings. We also did referrals for
group housing or adoptions for
those who might be interested in
these options.
Because we were always a
fairly small, but dedicated, group
of women, I served in many dif-
ferent capacities-president, vice-
president, secretary, treasurer,
telephone counselor, and office
counselor. I also was part of a
team of speakers for information-
al programs and helped with
fund-raising projects.
Our first office was in the origi-
nal Y.M.C.A. Program building on
N, Bridge Street. We next moved
to the Hendry House for several

years and finally settled into the
Creative Counseling Office on
Lee Street. We were flexible,
however, and would meet clients
wherever it was comfortable for
them our main concern through
the years was confidentiality. We
did strive to make sure that each
volunteer understood that part of
our service.
In the latter years of my work
with Precious Life until my retire-
ment last year, we did not have
the client-counselor contact that
was so much a part of the early
and mid years, even though this
was still available. We concen-
trated on informational outreach
programs and health fairs.
From the beginning, our vol-
unteers have all been of "one
mind and one accord" in agree-
ing that life is precious and is the
creation of a loving God. We
wanted to be available for sup-
port and encouragement to help
women in a crisis pregnancy situ-
ation.

including his last position as a
four year principal at a middle
school in Michigan. Mr. Puletti's
first assignment is to work with
the new principal for one week to
show him the ropes. After that,
he will start his new position with
the county as a Teacher on
Assignment.
Mr. Puletti is not going far. He
says, "I will miss the kids, but I
will actually be working more
directly with them in my new
position." He is taking a new
position with the county that has
been in the works for a few years
called Teacher on Assignment.
This position is intended to
design a reading program for per-
sonal projection that is helpful to
students in being successful on
the reading portion of the FCAT.
With Mr. Puletti's background as
an English teacher he should help
him be very successful.
This will be thefirst year since
the 1990s that the high school
will have an actual reading class.

With a substantial but small

better able to help the homeless

but felt sure some form of continu-

Congressman. Foley recently
secured $1.5 million for widening
and overlaying CR 78 from
Hendry/Lee County line to SR 29 in

the position so he will have a lot
to figure out as he goes. Howev-
er, he does know that he will be
going around to all the Hendry
County middle and high schools,
to assist the teachers with read-
ing. He will be working with staff
development issues as well as
reworking and rewriting the
DELTA Program. The DELTA pro-
gram is a new state initiative that
trains new principals on compe-

needs to be updated. The reading
program is something new for
the state of Florida at the second-
ary level. It is intended to main-
tain or raise FCAT reading Iand
writing scores for middle and
high school students.
His office will be located on
the second floor of the old court-
house building.
Mr. Puletti said he will miss

but is very much looking forward
to his new position. He.said, "It

The first step in self care is get-

is available at Hendryand Glades
County Health Departments, local
community health clinics and pri-

Community Center in Clewiston
also offers HIV Rapid Testing.
With this prescreening, you can
tell in 20 minutes whether or not
the probability is high that you are
infected with HIV If the rapid test
is reactive, then the client is re-

HIV Rapid Testing was developed
because almost one third of the
people who test positive on a tra-

their results.
HIV/AIDS can only be trans-

A pregnant woman who is infect-
ed with HIV can pass it on to her
unborn child. Because of this risk,
it is especially important for a
pregnant woman to be checked
and treated for HIV or other sexu-
ally transmitted diseases.
In 2003, the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
established four initiatives, cur-
rently in various stages of imple-
mentation, to fight the spread of
HIV/AIDS.

Make HIV tests a routine part
of physical exams;
Develop new ways todo HIV
tests outside of medical settings,
like at outreaches;
Focus prevention efforts on
working withthose who already
know they are HIV positive and
with their partners;
Further decrease the num-
bers of babies born with HIV or
AIDS.

Speak Out

This is in answer to the Speak Out last week from the perso:
who Was concerned about paying their whole water bill if they're
not drinking the water. If they.don't drink it, they don't pay for it. Yot
only pay for what you use.

I'm a resident of LaBelle, have been since 1979 and I'm calling t(
register a complaint about the United States Post Office here ir
LaBelle.
They have lost my electric bill several times. On the second'
mailed a letter/bill. It should have been there next day; the
received-it on the 19th, and now I have to pay a late fee. I'm dis
abled. I'm on a fixed income.
The Postmaster or the other lady in charge there needs to d(
something. It's a federal offense if anything happens to anything
They're always out of stamps when you walk in front there. Mor
people need to register complaints. I talked to a lady recently an
she said they lost her electric payment. Something needs to b
done.

We're still in a drought every day with a lot of fires. I think fire
works should be outlawed, but the stores are full of them. Home
owners should be held liable for any damage they might cause
We're still in the middle of auburn ban, so why do we have all thes
fireworks? Please don't use fireworks.

Averydiscusses
positions
Dear Ms. Dunne,
Your continued interest in my
campaign is welcomed. I am
eager to discuss my positions on
the issues with you in the forum of
your choosing. I have been a
member of the LaBelle communi-
ty for more than 30 years and I
have always been very interested
in the governing of the communi-
ty. In fact, I ran for a 'seat on the
Hendry County School Board in
1992. 1 have never been content to
watch from the sidelines and I feel
now is a good time to throw my
Shat in the ring for city commission-
er.
Dave Lyons has been on the
board since 1988. His experience
cannot be taken lightly. I have seen
the decisions he has made and the
outcome of those decisions and I
personally feel the city benefits
from his years of knowledge and
experience.
I apologize for not making my
position on annexation more
clear. I do not welcome unlimited
annexation. I am for the planned
and purposeful annexation of the
property adjacent to our city. Yes,
annexation brings in valuable rev-
enue, but it also brings along some
added expenses. I think it is key
That everyone understand that the
annexation will be slow and
growth will be gradual. Our city
employees such as code enforce-
ment staff and water meter readers
are stretched to the max now.,We
can't handle even five more hous-
es, but with the added revenue
that annexations will bring, we
can hire new staff. We are going to
have to hire new staff with annexa-
tions or without. What you see as
expenses, I see as good paying

Speak Out

new jobs for members of our
community. The same thing goes
for city hall. We need more space
with or without the annexations.
Not only that but we also need the
annexations to help fund the new
water plant. The more customers
you have paying the bill, the less
expensive it is for all concerned.
What you see as a negative
impact, I see as a positive growth
opportunity. The "let's stay as we
are" mentality doesn't work. The
fact of the matter is growth is hap-
pening and will continue to hap-
pen. We can choose to have that
growth inside our city limits or out-
side our city limits. We can plan for
it, control it and make it a positive
growing experience or we can
ignore it until it is out of control. I
think we need to take a proactive
approach to growth and anriexa-
tionso we can help keep LaBelle a
gracious and loving place to live.
We cannot fear the future-we
must embrace it.
As for code enforcement, yes,
the code review board consists of
developers and real estate agents.
The reason for that is they are
knowledgeable about issues the.
code review board tackles. They
are qualified and while you ques-
tion their motives, I see them as
upstanding citizens of LaBelle who
have volunteered their time to
make our city a better place to live.
Their meetings are operated "in
the sunshine" and if you personal-
ly feel they are in violation of the.
sunshine laws, please feel free to
call the state's ethics commission
to report them. I think you will find
they have done everything correct-
ly. Possibly you are correct that
they have an interest in.the out-
come other than making LaBelle a
better place to live, but surely, they
don't all have the same interest
and I think they have done an

- ` a' a I I I' 1

upstanding job. Not only that, but
it is also my understanding that
they have tried holding the meet-
ings at different times and loca-
tions to drum up more public par-
ticipation with little success.
Of course, we all understand
how difficult it is to read legal
notices. I am in favor of also print-
ing a "plain language" notice. In
order to make sure everything
works, we need to change our
notification policy to make sure
everyone can understand what
they are reading. Yes, there are dif-
ficult decisions to bemade. Some-
times that may involve saying the
time for discussing that is done -
sometimes it may mean reconsid-
ering it. We create rules for a rea-
son. If we don't like the rules then
we need to change them. As your
commissioner, you will be able to
come to me anytime to discuss
your concerns and I will-see to it
that those concerns are addressed.
By the way, the zoning changes are
in my 'backyard. They directly
affect me and my neighbors and I
am in favor of the zoning changes
in that area.
Ms. Dunne, I don't want to get
in a tit-for-tat argument with you
about personal matters. However,
I feel as though you are trying to
instill a culture of fear in LaBelle's
residents. Changes are going to
happen. We cannot sit on our
hands andfear the inevitable. We

heal estate taxes take care

A problem with Florida
Real Estate taxation
There are a great many peo-
ple living here in south Florida
that share a common problem
when it comes to selling their
homes. It's the lack of "portabili-
ty." Most of us own (although
our mortgages secure part of our
asset to the bank) the homes we
live in. Over the course of the
last ten years, our property val-
ues have increased to double or,
maybe triple what it was back
then.
Because the Florida Legisla-
ture passed a law that prevents
our property taxes from going
up more than 3 percent per year,
our ad valorem taxes are afford-
able. This only applies to your
primary residence as a citizen of
the state of Florida. You also
have the $25,000 homestead
exemption to reduce your tax
base and there are a few other
small exemptions for some spe-
cial circumstances.
School taxes are not limited
to the three percent rule. If a lot
of children move into the area,
as with lower income communi-
ties that appeal to young fami-
lies, the potential increase in
taxes for new schools and their
ongoing operation can be real
significant. Also special munici-
pal taxing districts and fees exist '
such as are,, found with some
roads and mosquito spraying.
The cost for new schools is your
biggest concern.
Let's assume you decide to
move to a new primary resi-
dence here in Florida. This may
be for any reason including the
following: you want a newer
modern home; you want more
acreage; you want a different
locale, you want to downsize to
a condo; you want to move to a
golfing community; you want to
move to a waterfront property;
you want to retire and take
advantage of the tax law that
allows you to cash out some of
your equity in your home and
invest that money. Now we get

to the problem.
Say you originally bought
your home ten years, ago for
$200,000. Over the years you
have fixed it up and put $25,000
in additions. You have a cost
basis of $225,000. After exemp-
tions; assume your current prop-
erty tax is $1,800. Today, your
home may bring $700,000, due
to escalation in value here in
south Florida. So, you sell your
home for that amount and trying
to keep things realistic, you buy
a new or newer home for the
same price of $700,000, in the
location that you desire. All you
have done is move.
Your new home is the same
value as your old home. But do
you know what will happen
regarding your new home ad
valorem property tax? It may be
$6,000! We are talking an
increase of approximately
$4,000 just because you decided
to move. You now have to pay
that extra tax money every year.
Imagine what can happen with
more expensive homes. It can
be an increase in excess of ten
thousand dollars per year. For
many middle aged and older
people who want to retire, and
not increase their cost of living
expenses, moving can be a
financially challenging experi-
ence.
One solution is to cash out
some of your equity while buy-
ing a little less expensive home
and using the money for future
taxes. Regardless, the fact that
we do not have "portability" of
our homestead tax base is a
problem for all of us living in
Florida with appreciated proper-
ty values. The Florida Realtors
and some legislature members
have tried to fix this problem but
need a lot of citizen support.,
The next time you go out and
look to buy another home and
you ask the question of the seller
or Realtor "what were your
property taxes here last year,"
remember that the answer is
irrelevant, because you will

Lake conditions bode

well for hurricane season

With Lake Okeechobee's
water level at 12.12 feet as of
June 20,
Jacksonville District water
managers believe they are in an
excellent position to marriage the
lake and'Herbert Hoover Dike
for the remainder of the 2006
hurricane season.
"Let's put it this way," said
John Zediak, chief of the Jack-
sonville District
Water Management Section,
"from this point in time, it would
take more than
nature dealt us in each of the
past two years to give us serious
trouble with the'lake or Herbert
Hoover Dike."
The lake now starids at its
lowest point since June 22,
2002. In 2004, when
four hurricanes struck Flori-

da, the lake stood at 12.71 feet
on the same date.
The lake's level on June 20,
2005 was 15.3 feet.
"You'll have to throw more at
us than either one, of those
years," Zediak continued. "Right
now, with the current lake level
and the other conditions, we
could stand a repeat of either
2004 or 2005 and still be in.good
shape. Also, this hurricane sea-
son is forecast to be an active
one, but not as active as last
year."
Zediak added that the fact
that the Kissimmee River basin
and the lakes in the basin are not
full allows storage of runoff
water from any possible rain
events before it is released to
impact Lake Okeechobee.

Give lawns a little boost

June is a month you need to fer-
tilize your lawns. Going into the
summer you need to give your
lawn little boost. Using well bal-
anced 16-04-08 fertilizer, possibly a
low release type,, will last until
October when you give the lawn a
last kick before winter, using a 10-
10-10 blend at that time.
Aloe is a wonderful plant to
keep close to your door; old home-
steads always had plants close to
use for burns. Just peel the outside
of a leaf to let the juice soothe any
. sunburn, grease burn or scrapes. It
soothes and cools. Keep the leaf
close and apply regularly; you will
be glad you did!
During this our dry time of the
.year, maintaining your plants can
be difficult. Watering is restricted
and time consuming. This year
when you plant your annuals and
perennials before you put your
mulch down think about using a
"soaker" hose. These hoses are

made from porous rubber that
sweats rather than sprinkling, this
puts the water around only the
plants you need to water more
often. Then cover the hose with
mulch to hold the moisture in; it
works wonderfully to conserve
water.

Barron Library offers programs for kids
Got kids? If so, chances are they're looking for something fun and interesting to do this
summer. Why not try Barron Library? Every Thursday morning from 10:30-11:30 kids can
come to the CooCoo CaBarron Kid Cafe. The summer program kicked off with a Survivor
style game in which kids had to work together in the Path to Enlightenment Challenge to
discover the path across an "island." Upcoming programs will capture kids' imaginations
and crank up the fun. This girl concentrates on navigating the path while her teammates
provide encouragement. Library volunteer Lori Howard put on the program.

From left: two-and-a-half-year-old Ashlyn Earnest and mom Allison, Keith Woosley, 9
months old with mom, Michelle, 21-month old Sky Smith with her mom, Tonya and three-
year-old Lane Murray listen as library volunteer Ellen Ferguson reads The Complete
Adventures of the Mole Sisters.

Libraries offer borrowing privileges

For the first time, library
users have borrowing privileges
at all public and academic
library systems throughout
Southwest Florida. Through an
agreement facilitated by the
Southwest Florida Library Net-
work (SWFLN), Lee County
Library System has joined 15
other library organizations that
extend borrowing privileges to
each other's patrons. These
libraries include: Ave Maria Uni-
versity, Collier County Public
Library, Charlotte-Glades
Library System, Desoto County
Library, Edison College, Florida
Gulf Coast University, Florida.
Keys Community College, Fort
Myers Beach Public Library,
Hardee County Public Library,
Hendry County Library Cooper-
ative, Highlands County Library
System, International College,
Lee County Library System,
Okeechobee County Library,
Sanibel Public Library and
Southwest Florida College.

Library users from these
libraries can request a borrow-
ing card from any participating
library by simply asking their
homelibrary for a SWFLN recip-
rocal borrowing sticker to be
affixed to their library card.'
Upon presenting a stickered
card at any of the other partici-
pating libraries, library users are
eligible to receive a free borrow-
ing card.
Barbara Stites, Executive
Director of SWFLN explains,
"For folks who live in one town
and work in another, being able
to use the library in both places
will be very handy. And for stu-
dents, historians, or researchers
who have a need for materials at
libraries other than their local
library, or don't want to wait for
interlibrary loan services and
are willing to travel to libraries
to pick-up materials we can
finally help them."
"Sharing materials among
libraries is nothing new", Stites

says. No one library could ever
hope to own all of the materials
its patrons need or want and
Florida's interlibrary loan sys-
tem, OCLC (the international
library database of 9,000
libraries) has been in place for
decades."
These new reciprocal bor-
rowing agreements reduce the
number of interlibrary loans,
saving staff time and shipping
costs. It allows people to check-
out materials immediately
instead of waiting for the days
and weeks interlibrary loan
often takes.
Resource sharing has been
strong in Southwest Florida,
especially since libraries banded
together in 1993 to form
SWFLN, a non-profit 501(c) 3
multi-type library cooperative
serving 34 libraries in Charlotte,
Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry,
Lee, and Monroe counties.

Dewane

ordained

bishop
Bishop-designate Frank J.
Dewane, 56, was ordained as coad-
jutor bishop of the Diocese of
Venice by Bishop John J. Nevins in
a special Mass July 25, at Epiphany
Cathedral, Venice.
The co-consecrators were Most
Rev. John C, Favalora, D.D., Arch-
bishop of Miami, and Most Rev.
Diarmuid Martin, D.D., Archbishop
,of Dublin. Dignitaries from across
the globe attended.
Due to space limitations in'
Epiphany Cathedral, the solemn
Mass was televised live throughout
the Venice Diocese and aired live
on the radio in much of the diocese,
giving the Catholic faithful of the
diocese the opportunity to view the
centuries-old sacred rituals of con-
secrating a new bishop for the Dio-
cese of Venice.
Bishop Dewane is the second
Bishop of Venice in Florida since it
was founded in October 1984. He
will have the right of succession of
Bishop Nevins when.he retires on
his 75th birthday in January 2007.
In the meantime, Coadjutor Bishop.
Dewane will assist Bishop Nevins in
his pastoral responsibilities.
Bishop Dewane was ordained a
priest for the Diocese of Green Bay,
Wis., July 16, 1988. He was born
March 9, 1950, to the late Eleanor
(Prendergast) and Ben Dewane in
Green Bay and is one of four chil-
dren. He comes to the Diocese of
Venice from the Vatican where he
served as the Under-Secretary of
the Pontifical Council for Justice
and Peace and has held that posi-
tion since March of 2001. The pri-
mary responsibility of the Pontifical
Council is to promote justice,
peace, development and human
rights.
The' 10-county Diocese of
Venice is more than 9,000 square
miles in area and has 55 parishes,
six missions, seven chapels of con-
venience, five Hispanic apostolates,
three diocesan high schools, nine
parish elementary schools, two
special needs schools, and three
retreat and spirituality centers. The
total Catholic population is more
than 233,000, which swells during
the October to May months with
winter residents and migrant farm-
workers.

o f their infield consists of Doug

Grudzielanek at second, who have more
letters in their last names than any other
combo in major league history at 24.
The previous record was 22 for Joe
Cunningham and Red Schoendienst of
the 1954 St. Louis Cardinals. Speaking
of the big league name game, only two
players in history have had the first
name of Marlon, and both were on the
roster of the 2006 Washington
Nationals Byrd and Anderson.

whose father, Cecil, was quite a charac-
ter in his major league playing days. A
big-time power hitter with big-time
Ssize, the eder Fielder was not known
for his speed. But he does hold an
unusual running record in the annals of
big league baseball. In May of 1996, the
then first baseman for Detroit stole sec-
ond the first steal in his 11-year career
at the time, and in his 1,097th major
league game. No other player has ever
gone that long without stealing a base.
By the way, Fielder stole one more base
in his 13-year career.

Escuelas de LaBelle.
La escuela Upthegrove recibio
estavez una "A", en el curso lecti-
vo pasado habian logrado una

diferentes asi como los buenos
maestros ayudaron a mejorar la
calidad de los puntajes.
La escuela LaBelle recibe una
"A" porcuarta vez consecutive. La
principal Sue Schaeffer dijo: "No
hay ningun program, el exito se
debe a muchas cosas que traba-
jan juntas, los maestros de la
escuela le ponen desafios

grandes a los estudiantes. Ellos
creen que todos los ninos pueden
aprender y hacer buenos grades.
Todo el personal tiene el deseo
de hacer las cosas bien,en nuestra
escuela los estudiantes estan de
primero." "Yo pienso que desde
que hay menos estudiantes en
una clase el maestro hace un
mejor trabajo porque tiene mas
tiempo de dar atencion individ-
ual."
Escuela Country Oaks recibio
una "A" por Segunda vez, la direc-
tora Vicki Stem dijo que el progra-
ma que hay despues de la escuela
para ayudar a los estudiantes con
el examen fue la clave para lograr
una-buena calificacion.
La escuela median obtuvo un
mejoramieno de una "B" en este
period escolar. Teresa Baker la
principal dijo que el mejoramien-
to del puntaje se debe a que con-
trataron buenos maestros,
hicieron cambios en los horarios

y separaron la escritura de la lec-
tura.
La preparatoria obtuvo una
"C" lo cual es positive, se puso
much enfasis en la lectura.
Sin embargo, a pesar de los
buenos resultados obtenidos en
los examenes continue el punto
debil que es la lectura, estudi-
antes de preparatoria deben de
tener un vocabulario
avanzado y fluido como tam-
bien una comprension de lectura

As residents of Florida begin
to batten down the hatches for
another hurricane season,
Catholic Charities, Diocese of
Venice is galvanizing to assist
remaining victims of Hurricane
Wilma to make a full recovery
before the next disaster strikes.
To facilitate assistance' in the
community, Catholic Charities is
participating in a project spon-
sored by Governor Jeb Bush's
Florida Hurricane. Relief Fund
called. Neighbors to the Rescue.
This program puts neighbors in
touch with neighbors to provide
relief to individuals and families
whose liv\.s were disrupted by
Hurricane Wilma. The Neigh-
bors to the Rescue program con-
nects volunteers, taps into com-
munity resources and creates
.virtual warehouses of available
materials, goods, services, trans-
portation and housing for those
recovering from the storm that
devastated South Florida.
SCatholic Charities is looking
to the community to help assist
the last group of victims of Hurri-
cane Wilma that need to be
ready for the 2006 hurricane sea-
son.
"We are looking for volun-
teers, business and organiza-
tions that can offer short-term
assistance to get victims back on
their feet quickly," said Peter
Roulsis-Arroyo, president: of
Catholic Charities, Diocese of
Venice, Inc. Help can come in
the form of interior and exterior
home repair, donation of furni-
ture or appliances, landscaping
services and cleanup, hurricane
prevention materials, housing,
transportation or volunteers
who can coach a family or indi-
vidual with their specific needs.
Mary Ashley, a resident of
Naples who is physically chal-
lenged and a victim of Hurricane
Wilma, was assisted by the
Neighbors to the Rescue pro-
gram. According to Patricia Rios,
Catholic Charities Neighbors to
the Rescue Coordinator in Col-

lier County, a tree fell on Ashley's
mobile home resulting in dam-
age to the roof and causing the
floors to collapse in the bed-
room and hallway. The roots of
one tree also ripped the air con-
ditioning unit away from the
home and another fallen tree
blocked her doorway.
Through the Neighbors to
the Rescue database and virtual
warehouse, Rios found a volun-
teer group called Chain Sa'w for
Jesus to cut and remove tree
branches at no cost for Ashley.
Tree stumps were removed at a
reduced rate by Affordable # 1
and Taylor Made Roofing donat-.
ed materials for the roof repair
and built a foundation for the
new air conditioning unit. Flori-
da Comfort Systems installed
the air conditioning system with
a rebate given by Florida Power
and Light.
"After this project, the owner
of Taylor Made Roofing offered
his individual service as avolun-
teer for the program by donat-
ing construction materials that
could be used to help victims,"
Rios said. "When communities

..,.--"
,x t,

work together after a disaster,
recovery time is much faster,"
she said.
The Neighbors to the Rescue
program offers two basic
opportunities to become
involved with assisting individu-
als and families from the devas-
tation of Hurricane Wilma. The
first is by offering to coach a
family or individual where a vol-
unteer or group of volunteers is
matched \\ ith victims who qual-
ify for assistance. Second, those
looking to help can donate items
or services to the virtual ware-
house, where donors,'volunteers
will be contacted when a specif-
ic match is found for a hurricane
victim.
Catholic Charities has three
Neighbors to the Rescue coordi-
nators located in Lee, Collier and
Hendry counties, the areas hard-
est hit in the Diocese of Venice
from Hurricane \Vilma. "It is
imperative that everyone in
those communities impacted by
the storm be fully functional
again to be prepared for the next
hurricane season," said Routsis-
Arroyo.

Betsahida Vasquez, 2, and-her father Rufino Vasquez waited

Charities in Immokalee for food and water.

Warrants issued in land fraud scam

Grand theft warrants for land
scam fraud have been issued for
the arrest of Yelitza Martinez and
Nelson Pena both of Miami.
According to Sheriff Ronnie
Lee, authorities believe the pait
has been picking vacant property,
researching the owners' names
and then presenting fraudulent
quit claim deeds placing the prop-

erty in their names or an alias.
After the fraudulent filings, the
properties were quickly and ille-
gally sold to unknowing individu-
als.
To date the criminals have
defrauded individuals of approxi-
mately $190,000. Another $40,000
loss was prevented when the
Hendry County Sheriff's Office

Criminal Investigations Division
was able to have funds frozen
before the transaction could be
completed. This in an ongoing
investigation and anyone with
information regarding this situa-
tion are asked to contact Investi-
gator Marci Martinez of the
Hendry County Sheriff's Office at
863-983-1440.

gram in Hendry County, please

Marva Pharis recognized for excellence in nursing i m

Marva Deane Pharis of LaBelle
has been selected as one of three
runners-up for the Twelfth Annu-
al -Nursing Clinical Excellence
Recognition program. This pro-
gram is sponsored by the Florida
Nursing Association District 7,
which encompasses Lee, Char-
lotte, Desoto and Hendry coun-
ties. It was established to honor
the best of the nurses living and
working in the four counties.
The Progressive Care Unit staff
of Lee Memorial Hospital where
she works as a Level III expert
nurse; nominated Marva. She
was nominated for demonstrat-
ing excellent clinical practice.

Marva was then required to sub-
:mit an exemplar or narrative of a
patient care experience where
her nursing assessment and inter-
ventions made a.difference. A
committee of nurses judged
these exemplars and Marva was
selected as one of the three run-
ners-up out of the over 300 nomi-
nees from the four counties.
Marva was notified of her
selection for this award at work,
where she was awarded flowers,
balloons and congratulations
from the senior nursing leader-
ship of the Lee Memorial Health
System as well as the leaders of
the Florida Nursing Association

(FNA).
Marva and the other winners
were honored at a gala celebra-
tion on May 12 at the Heritage
Palms Golf & Country Club in Ft.
Myers. At 'this banquet Heather
Turco, the mistress of cere-
monies and a Waterman Broad-
casting News Anchor, the FNA
clinical excellence committee
and their fellow nurses, honored
the winners. They were given cer-
tificates, trophies, aid free mem-
bership in the FNA for 6 months
and financial awards. Also at this
event each winner presented his
or her exemplar to those assem-
bled.

The winners are now entered
into the state nursing clinical
excellence competition and the
exemplars will once again be
judged for demonstration of
expert nursing skills. Marva will
also present her exemplar to the
Lee. Memorial Health System
Board of Directors and will be
honored by them for her accom-
plishment. This is the second year
that Marva has received this
award.
Marva is a staff/charge nurse
at the Lee Memorial Hospital Pro-
gressive Care Unit. She has
obtained Level III status in the
Professional Nurse Advancement

program which designates her as
an "Expert Nurse" and has main-
tained this status for the past two
years. She is a. Certified
Cardiac/Vascular Nurse as well as
a Progressive Care Certified
Nurse. She is a 2004 Lee Memori-
al Health System Clinical Excel-
lence award winner and afl
adjunct professor of nursing at
Florida Gulf Coast University. She
recently completed her Masters
of Science degree in Nursing
from Regis University.
Marva is the wife of Gregory E.
Pharis and the mother of three
daughters, Melissa Moore, Amber

Denise Grimsley met with the
Hendry/Lee County 4-H Legisla-
ture Group at their monthly meet-
ing held at the Dallas' B.
Townsend Agricultural Center.
Representative Grimsley spoke to
the group on how. she became
involved in government as well as
the roles of the Florida House of
Representatives.
Marsha Bechtel is the leader of
the Hendry County
Citizenship/Leadership 4-H Club
and will be chaperoning the 4-

H'ers to Tallahassee June 26-30 to
participate.in the Florida 4-H Leg-
islature conference. Jessica Bech-
tel, Callie Burley, Spencer Fletch-
er, Lewis Nobles, Christopher
Norwood and Brandon Temples
are the participants attending
Florida 4-H Legislature from
Hendry County and will be
among the 300 participants from
the 67 counties.
Florida 4-H Legislature is a five-
day learning laboratory in state
government designed to give par-

ticipants educational experiences
such as: learning about the func-
tions of state level government,
becoming informed about the
state system of government, serv-
ing as mock legislators, reporters
or lobbyists, meeting in the com-
mittee rooms of the House of
Representatives, as. well as the
House Chambers and touring the
State Capitol, Supreme Court,
Archives and/or other Slate Build-
ings. Florida 4-H Legislature is
open to youth ages.14-18.

Big Cypress National Pre-
serve,.a unit of the National Park
Service, is seeking public input
on the future of commercial
services within the area.
The NPS is in the process of
beginning a Commercial Ser-
vices Plan (CSP) to outline
opportunities to establish types
and levels of commercial activi-
ties necessary and appropriate
within the boundary of the origi-
nal preserve. Commercial serv-
ices in the addition lands of the
preserve will not be addressed
until the General Management
Plan for that area is completed,
in early 2009.
To learn more about the CSP
process, and to provide initial
comments, visit: www.parkplan-
ning.nps.gov/bicy. Comments
will be accepted until July 24.
Examples of commercial
activities include concession
services, museum association
sales, guided front and back-
country trips, and commercial
use agreements which allow for
revenue-producing visitor servic-
es as a "permitted" activity. The
CSP is an implementation plan,
establishing the most effective
and efficient methods for the
National Park Service (NPS) to
manage those activities. This
plan is developed with public
input.

"We encourage everyone
with an interest in the Preserve
to review the Newsletter to bet-
ter understand the process and
to offer comments on the direc-
tion of the plan," stated Karen
Gustin, Big Cypress National Pre-
serve Superintendent. "To make

this process work, and to ensure
that the public's views and con-
cerns are addressed, we need
your comments, feedback and
participation."
Public meetings related to the
CSP will be conducted later this
summer.

Girl wins synchronized swim medals

Eleven-year-old Amber Bosley
has been swimming longer than
she can.remermber. As one of the
seven-member Tallahassee Serinas
synchronized swim team, she is
taking that skill to a higher level.
Amber's novice team won two
gold medals in the Sunshine State
Game competition Sunday, June
18, at University of Miami. They
took the gold in team routine and
trio routine.
The sixth-grader says it'shard
work to be on a swim team. They
practice twice a week at Trousdell
pool in Tallahassee 11 months a
year. She's got a month off now.
After competing in Miami, Amber
came to Pioneer Plantation to send
some time with her grandparents,
Fred and Pat Bosley. Amber is the
daughter of David and Sharon
Bosley. She was born in West Palm
Beach and attended Central Ele-
mentary in kindergarten and first
grade. Her mom worked for the
City of Clewiston and also for
Hendry Regional Medical Center
before the family moved to Talla-
hassee five years ago. Her dad,
David, is self employed in the con-
struction homecare business. She
has a seven-year-old brother,
Austin.
Swimming with the Serinas
gives her time to relax and make
new friends and she gets to go neat
places like Miami and Daytona for
competitions. Of course, she gives
up a lot, too. Two days before com-

Amber says she enjoys swimming
because it makes you feel "lighter"

work at Sea World or become a
veterinarian when she grows up.
