By Kristin Hunter
The Citizens Highway Initiative
Program, also known as (CHIP),
is a rural county citizens' group
concerned with taking an initia-
tive towards better transportation.
It fosters such projects as building
better roads and bridges by
increasing the attention.and focus
throughout the city and county. It
'qualifies as a Section 501(c) (4)
organization, meaning that it is'
tax exempt but donors cannot
deduct contributions to CHIP.
CHIP would like to hold an


open city meeting in September at
the civic center to inform the pub-
lic of the needs of the community
and talk about problems and pos-.
sible solutions.
Currently the main concern of
CHIP is to build a better bridge in
town on SR29. This is not only a
city concern but should also con-
cern those who may need to
come through LaBelle in the case
of a hurricane. Those to our south
should be especially c,:.rncerned
because,'as of iight novi, LaBelle
would experience serious hurri-


Fireworks: Oohh. Ahhl


cane evacuation bottle necks.
Glades County residents also have
a stake in working toward getting
a new bridge.
CHIP is also concerned with
the general Level of Service (LOS)
on roads. Road LOS's are listed A,
B; C, D, E. According to Shane
Parker, County Engineer, "these
letters refer to the different levels
of service of a roadway. They
describe the driving conditions.
For example, a road that has an
LOS of A r-presenlts free flow
moving traffic; drivers ha\ e the


freedom to maneuver and the
driver has an excellent comfort
level. A road that has an LOS of D
represents high density, but stable
flow. Speed and freedom to'
maneuver are severely restricted,
and the driver experiences a gen-
erally poor level of comfort and
convenience.
Basically, as the LOS goes from
A to E the freedom of the driver to
maneuver and his comfort level
decreases on the roadway; how-
ever, the capacity ot the roadway '
increases. The number of vehicles.


that the roadway can handle will
be increased. C traffic is ideal for
urban areas. According to Mr.
Parker, D traffic is ideal for
LaBelle. Right now the roads in
LaBelle are at a B or C. Locally;
state roads are a B and non-state
roads are a C," he said.
According to Larry T. Hall,
CHIP President, "some Lee Coun-
ty roads are currently rated F dur-
ing peak times.".

if you ask this little sweetheart to spell her name, she'll give you a little rhyme: "A-D-E-
L-I-N-E Adeline is sweet as can be!" Perched on daddy's shoulders, four-year-old Ade-
line Doggett had the best seat in the house for LaBelle's Fourth of July fireworks. That's

WWII pilot lives 'on the edge'


By Patty Brant
In 1930, the Great Depression
was on, aviation was very much
a "frontier" style occupation and
Al Fox was just 14 years old. Now
90, you bet Al can tell you some
stories.
Like learning to fly in a home-
made craft designed and built by
his older brothers using plans
from a Modern Mechanic maga-
zine. Al was the youngest, skinny
and just 100 pounds, so he was
"elected" to take the thing up in
the air. The boys dragged their
creation behind a Model T Ford
till it finally went airborne and Al
took over sort of. The steering
mechanism wasn't much so he
was really at the mercy of the air
currents. Of course, he had no
idea how to land the thing, but
the problem was solved when he
slammed into the top of a tree.
Fortunately, the mishap did no
permanent damage. The experi-
ence just energized the boys and
they added a motorcycle engine
to the contraption.
Al's older siblings eight of


them came from Canada with
their parents in a freight car. Their
father, was from England, their
mother Canadian. Al was born in
Oregon, their ninth child.
He was bitten early by the fly-
ing bug, and the fever has never
gone away. He still occasionally
flies his Aeronica, which he
keeps at LaBelle Airport.
Al was one of what were
called "bootleg" flyers for a while
- that is, without a pilot's license.
In 1936 he decided to get his
commercial pilot's license and
went to Portland, Oregon, to take
the test. His final test was to pick
up and fly passengers off a
beach. He then bought a two-
seater Nicholas and Beasley
plane and went into business,
ferrying passengers and photog-
raphers over the Grand Cooley
Dam, putting himself through
college. He also trained other
pilots.
By 1939 World War II was rag-
ing in Europe. Canada, still a
Dominion of Great Britain, was
sending pilots to England to bol-


ster the British defense. Al, mar-
ried by now with one son, went
to Toronto to train on military air-
craft:- T-6 and BT13s in 1940-41.
For a time he trained other pilots,
as well.
One of 1,500 American pilots
in the Canadian military, Al was
"bought" back by the US to jump
start its own military after Japan
bombed Pearl Harbor; that is, the
US reimbursed Canada for their
training.
As a first lieutenant, Al was
assigned to a gunnery school fly-
ing Lockheed B34s at Panama
City, where he hauled bom-
bardiers up for training and
towed.targets for live shooting
practice. The bullets were color
coded so they could tell who had
hit the target. He was flying B54s
and T6s. He and a crew of nine
then trained on B24s at Las
Vegas. '
When he was finally ordered
overseas, he went to the factory

Exotic and unique shells like this one are "commonplace" in Al
Fox's collection.


Pilot
Continued From Page 1
to pick up his bomber, which he
christened the "Lady Eve," after his
wife. He recalls that she was a
good sport about it when he had a
pin-up girl painted on the side.
He went from Labrador, to
Greenland and finally made it to
England, as part of the 448th
Squadron, 8th Air Force near Nor-
wich. He served in England at the
same time Lt. "Hank" Mills, a
WWII fighter pilot recently profiled
in the Caloosa Belle, although they
never met. The "Lady Eve" was
sent for modifications and he
never got her back. He learned
later from another serviceman, as
they returned by boat from over-
seas, that the Lady Eve had
crashed. The other man even had a
picture of Al's beloved "Lady Eve,"
proving itwas, the same plane.
After 35 combat missions, Al
was rotated home. Originally, air
crews only had to fly 25 combat
missions before they could go
home. Flying with no protection,
Allied forces lost 55 percent of their
bombers, Al recalls. When fighters,
like the one Maj. Mills -flew, were
assigned to protect the bombers,
missions became "safer," -at least
they lost fewer planes and the
number of missions crews had to
fly increased to 35.
Al said he flew two short mis-
sions on D-Day. He said most of his
targets were in Germany, although
he said some were in France. Al
has many vivid memories of his
service. He recalls how smoke
bombs were used to mark US
troop placements.r Once, when the
wind shifted, a whole squad
dropped bombs on Canadian
troops and the system was soon
changed.
Al recalls one time when his
deputy lead was flying just five feet
off his wingtip. A German fighter
came up on his deputy head on
and fired. Al could see his buddy's
cockpit fill up with blue smoke and
watched him drop back. Al moved
down with him and saw three
parachutes dot the sky. "I saw it all
as plain as can be," he remembers.
In all, he said he lost seven or eight
planes from his squadron during
the war.
Another harrowing experience
was flying a B24 that had not
dropped all its bombs. He kept
moving away from anti-aircraft fire,
but couldn't duck all the hits.
There are good times, too, of
course, even in the worst situa-
tions. He recalls taking leaves in
London, pulling pranks on his bud-
dies, going to the officers club and
dances at the base.
Al was ordered home right
before the Battle of the Bulge, the
German's final push for victory, in
December 1944.
After returning from England,
he was sent to California and on to
Guam to a B24 squadron staging
area. He even flew in a P51 Mus-
tang fighter squad for a while. For-
tunately, the war only lasted a short
while after that, but he remained in
Japan after its surrender. He was
joined by Eve and his young son.


They were one of the first service
families to come to Japan. Al han-
dled base operations for a year at
Johnson Air Force Base.
Later he flew refueling tankers
for nine years, pioneering refueling
B52s while in flight. He flew a KC97
tanker out of Green Bay, Labrador.
Back in the US, he retired from
the military after 20 years starting
out in the Army Air Corps and end-
ing in the Air Force after it became
its own branch of the service. He
was in Bermuda for the last three
years of his enlistment. There he
became involved in sailing, even
winning a racing trophy.
In 1962, upon his retirement, he
and Eve sailed to Miami, where
they picked up a Mercedes he pur-
chased from Germany and
shipped home for $1,800.
Over the years, he and Eve
sailed around the world the equiva-
lent of three times. They sailed a 45'
boat to the South Pacific through
the Panama Canal to Fiji and Alas-
ka with friends, plotting their
course as they went and keeping in
touch with the world with a ham
radio. They supplemented their
diet and needs by trading clothes
Eve bought in Miami with natives
for lobster and other items
throughout the South Pacific.-
Sailing turned out to provide
another whole array of adventures.
Once they were held under house
arrest'over some paperwork diffi-
culty. The captain of Chinese boat
knew the locals wanted a bribe
and gave Al a $100 check.
On their third trip "around the
world," they sailed up the Missis-
sippi to the Great Lakes and New
York. They had a bigger boat built
in Taiwan and went, to pick it up.
While on this trip, Eve took sick on
the boat and'sadly passed away
before Al could get her to the help
she needed.
One of the most interesting
episodes in Al's life was finding a
completely unheard of seashell off
the Suez Canal. It's been registered
in Italy and was given his name. He
has several samples in a bank vault
because they are so rare, but keeps
a photo of his unique find in the
house.
He also has entire rooms filled
with shelves of artifacts and keep-
sakes from Indonesia, Japan and
around the world.
At 90, Al has slowed down
some, but he's still "living on the
edge." Last August he crashed an
airplane for the first time in his life -
atlImmokalee Airport. He made a
good landing in his Aeronautica,
but flipped when his landing gear
hit some water. Al broke several
vertebrae in his neck, but came
back looking hearty as ever.
So, how did this World War II
pilot and world sailor get to
LaBelle? While the war was still
going on, he bought a peninsula
on the Caloosahatchee River close
to Fort Myers. The couple never
lived there but they planted bam-
boo and ficus, and put up a sea-
wall, living on their 33' sailboat
docked there. They sold the prop-
erty but he eventually returned to
the river and made his home here.

Witch's Brew


By Pudge Lehman
Baby wipes make excellent
makeup removers. Is that the
secret to my youthful look? Think
about it... Smooth as a baby's butt
... Also after you remove your
makeup turn the wipe over and
shine your shoes.
Speaking of age...After the age
of seventy.. It's patch, patch,
patch. Every once in a while
unplug your computer keyboard,
hold it upside down and give it a
good shake. If part of a bologna


sandwich
falls out, you
should con-
sider not eat-
ing lunch at
your desk;
use a baby
wipe to clean the keys.
Steve Williams has given me
many comical column items but I
am never able to write them down.
This one I did: It is no longer social-
ly correct to use the term "Hillbilly."
The correct term is Appalachian
American.


Use mutual fund



money to retire


There are a couple of interesting
ways to use your mutual fund
money to provide a monthly
income at retirement. This informa-
tion is generally accurate, but as I
have stated previously, always refer
to your Prospectus.
Say you have chosen six differ-
ent funds within the "family of
funds" you own. Examples are
Janus, Fidelity, Mainsta\ and so on.
There is a usual requirement that
you maintain .a .minimum .of
$10,000 total invested in order to do
this free of charge. You simply need
to have a bank account and use the
check-o-matic arrangement.
You determine a dollar amount
that you need to receive each
month by automatic deposit to
your bank account. The mutual
fund company will, on a predeter-
mined monthly date, sell shares
from each account and transfer the
money. This method attempts to
keep the percentages of your
invested money in multiple
accounts, about the same, month
after month, while you take an
income. Presume you are happy
with your investment options..
If you are using funds that have a
deferred sales charge, they often
waive the charge, so long as you
don't go below the minimum
required total balance. With some
accounts, you can also do a
"sweep" of the interest earned, or
dividends paid and transfer those
monies to your bank account. The
mutual fund companies want to
workwith you and keep you happy.
Their thinking is that by assisting
you favorably, you will like them
and refrain from taking out any
more than you need, or putting it
elsewhere. They are probably cor-
rect. They also don't want the


Financial
Tips

inconvenience and:time required to
have you call thern~eery month to
get your money.
Some funds are ideally suited to
providing a monthly income. An
example is a Government Bond
fund. That type of fund usually pays
a conservative income but offers
safety. I personally like something
that pays more albeit with risk.
Here is an explanation of some-
thing that people often don't under-
stand. You own a tax-free munici-
pal bond fund, but at the end of the
year, you get a 1099. How did that
happen? Pretend that the fund has
invested heavily, in the Tennessee
Valley Authority at 8 percent. The
government comes along and
works out a deal with lenders to
refinance the bonds at 6 percent.
Since this is reasonable, they take
advantage of the opportunity.
This amounts to the bonds being
paid off and then refinanced. When
they are paid off, and a gain occurs,
Sthe IRS says you have to report the
gain. Well, who does the reporting?
It is you. The gain is passed along in
the year that event occurs to the
shareholders, and since you are one
of them, you get a 1099, even
though you own a tax-free fund. Do
retirement planning, if you don't,
you will someday wish you had.

Attention Caloosa Sports Shooters


A lot of county residents and
club members do not know how
and why this gun club began for
civilians who love the sport of
shooting. The Hendry County gun
range was used for civilians to
shoot skeet and practice target
shooting on the pistol and rifle
range in a safe area. The civilians
would pay Lt. Dave Harney for the
clay pigeons; there was no charge
for the use of the pistol and rifle
range.
The group that met on a regular
basis to shoot discussed forming
an organization. The club would
work together with Steve Worley,
who was at this time the Sheriff for
Hendry County. Sheriff Worley
asked me to be a volunteer for the
civilians; therefore my title became
co-coordinator for the sheriff's
range. Our club helped out at the
range collecting money for use of
the skeet and traps range and
maintaining the upkeep by mow-
ing our area and helped mow the
pistol and rifle range. We charged a
fee for non-members to shoot.
Dues collected by members and
fees collected from non-members
paid for the purchase of targets,
electricity use and for the mowing
of the range.
Law enforcement training
were being conducted in a trailer. I
had heard about a Federal grant
that was available to pay for train-
ing facilities for law enforcement
officers. I had discussed this with
Deputy Don Weathers. Andy Drew
and Robert DeMann were Range
Masters at this time and were the
driving force in getting the facilities
as they are today. There were sev-
eral people that went before
Hendry County Commissioners in
support of the new facilities such
as Tony Chihocky, 'other members
of the gun club which was made
up of prominent business men in
the community, and I. At this time


ts your world
[Get Involved
the approval for the grant was
given to house law enforcement
training and civilian programs.
There were many improve-
ments made at the gun range with
the beautiful new training facility
for training and for youth pro-
grams to be conducted. Andy
Drew, Robert DeMann and I shared
an office together. On the civilian
end we had gone from forty family
memberships to around eighty-
plus family memberships. We
were able to build a $4,000 trap
range and the club paid for the
electricity used for the skeet and
trap range by putting in a meter.
The Hendry County gun range was
in full use for families and youth
programs. The civilian programs
worked hand-in-hand with the
Hendry County Sheriff's Depart-
ment so our different schedule
would not interfere with training
events fdr law enforcement offi-
cers. The gun club also had dreams
of helping fund youths interested in
traveling to National Rifle Associa-
tion shooting competitions.
The gun range was being used
by the B:,\ Scous program out of
Clew\iston, run by ScoutMaster,
Tony Chihocky. Don Crebbs, a
teacher from LaBelle High School
would bring out his students for
gun safety classes and I would help
out with teaching shotgun safety.
The 4-H brought out students for
hunter's safety courses. The State
also held certified hunter safety
courses at the gun range.
When Sheriff Ronnie Lee took
office I had a meeting with him and
Kate English, County Attorney, to
discuss the .gun club. I was
informed that we were not covered


Letter to the Editor


Ms. Dunne responds
Well, Cliff, now that you call me
Ms. Dunne do I pow call you Rev-
erend Avery? You used to call me
Rita. When you say "I don'twant to
get into a tit-for-tat argument with
you about personal matters," did I
miss something? What in the
world are you talking about? I went
back over the two articles I wrote
and can't imagine what "personal
, matters" you are referring to. If you
believe I have said something per-
sonally offensive to .yp please
accept my apologies for whatever
it was you thought I said. And how
or where did you get the idea that I
was trying to "instill a culture of
fear in LaBelle's residents"?
LaBelle residents are a pretty
intelligent group of people. It
would be foolish of me or anyone
to attempt to manipulate them. I
stated my purpose clearly. You
announced your candidacy and I
wanted to know where you stood,
on the issues.
Im a voter; it's not an unrea-
sonable request. I used the
Caloosa Belle. because it is impor-
tant that we all understand the
issues. Quite a few people have
read our discussion so I think we
have been successful. These are
the issues as I see them; feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong:
Both of you are for limited
annexation, Hilda because she
wants to take care of the long neg-
lected infrastructure needs of "old"
LaBelle and you because it will be
a source of revenue that will meet
our future needs.
Let me say this to both of you: I
don't believe the money to meet
the current and future needs will
come from annexation. We will be
Lucky if that money is a wash. You
are going to have to raise the mill-
age rates to make the repairs and
improvements. The idea that we
save money by, keeping the rate at
the minimum of 3 is false econo-
my.
When I moved here in 1996 the
first thing I was told was "Don't
drink the water." The water plant
needed replacement ten years ago.
The cost of replacement then was
far below the costs now. Today we
have doubled our size and con-
struction costs have skyrocketed. A
penny saved was not a penny
earned.
I did a small calculation on how
much bottled water I buy. $15 per
month x 12 months = $180 per
year or $1,800 over the past ten
years. Multiply that by whatever
population figure you want and,
calculate what it has cost us. Not to
scare anyone I'll use half the popu-
lation 2,500 people x $1,800 =
$4,500,000. And have we benefited
at all from our current millage rate?
When I came here I paid
$157.25 to the city. Last year that
figure rose to $463.10 The only
thing I got for that increase was an
additional two street lights on my
property and I don't recall anyone
asking if I wanted them (1 didn't). I
may be the only person in LaBelle
who will say yes, I support a mill-
age rate increase IF I can see
something useful come from it.
How do other voters feel about
that? The other issue you seem to
have differing opinions about is the
rezoning. Cliff, you support the
new zoning including who did it,
how it was done and what the


results are. Is that correct? You said
"I am in favor of the zoning
changes in that area," referring to
the trailer park in which you live.
Hilda, you 'and the other board
members raised concerns about
this zoning. I believe I heard Paul
Puletti say that the board needed to
act with compassion in cases
where the elderly, the infirm and
the low income families were con-
cerned. Can we assume you agree
with Paul?
as a community, need to
make a decision. Mobile homes
are not any great source of rev-
enue. Do we zone them out? If so
then where do these folks go? Do
we care? And what of the other
zoning changes? They were done
legally I have no quarrel with that.
But my fellow voters, do you
know the changes that occurred in
your neighborhood? I was amazed
to see my street (North Riverview
Street) is now R1A on the east side
and R3 on the west side. I'm not
sure what R3 is but I think it is high
density. Do we live with the zoning
as it is or do we spend a few dollars
to send everyone information
about the zoning?
Paul also suggested we have
neighborhood meetings to allow
us to see and comment on the
changes. This issue has been the
topic of discussion at the last three
commission meetings. What's
yourvote?
This is an important election.
Please vote. Think through the
issues, make your own informed
decision, but vote. We have a few
years to plan as a community what
changes we want and are willing to
pay for.
There is a reality we must face.
In a few years time the Bryan Paul
property will be developed. The
housing will be upscale, the people
will not be familiar with nor accus-
tomed to a rural way of life. The
change is inevitable; I never said it
wasn't. Read what goes on at dity
commission meetings in Ft Myers.
Our new neighbors will come
knowing what they want and will
know how to get it. They will be at
the county and city commission
meetings (had we not annexed the
Bryan Paul property they would
have no reason to be at the city
commission meetings) and they
will vote out any commissioner
who won't do their bidding. They
won't have any concern about our
millage rate.
Will we continue to sit back and
let political decisions be made
without our input? What about our
Hispanic residents, fully one half of
our population? When do you plan
to run a candidate so that your
voice will be heard?
If this kind of talk scares you so
be it. I can't imagine that it would.
We are a group of people who are
capable of dealing with real life sit-
uations. It is imperative that we all
have a political voice in the future,
so that's it folks. I tried to determine
the differing issues between the
two candidates. I've said what I
thought needed to be said and am
willing to discuss any of it with any-
one. But please not on the
Newszap. I don't talk or write
anonymously and don't have a
high opinion of those who do. I
consider it cowardly to hide my
opinions behind some cute little
name.

Gun Club

Update

for insurance under the county
plan and that we were required to
get our own insurance and change
our narfie so that we are not associ-
ated with the Hendry County Sher-
iff's Department. The club was
revoked the use of the pistol and
rifle range. We still had use of the
trap and skeet range only on
Wednesday. Within three weeks
the gun club had become incorpo-
rated and we purchased a $2 mil-
lion dollar insurance policy
through National Rifle Association.
We were already an NRA-sanc-
tioned range. Each person that
used the range met the required
safety course. The entire require-
ment requested at the meeting had
been met.
At a County Commissioners
meeting it was expressed by the
commissioners that they would
like the range to be open on
Wednesday and Saturdays for
civilian shooting. At this time it is
still not open on Saturdays. The
County has bought the club's trap
and skeet machines and agreed to
run the programs through the sher-
iff's department. The county has.
also taken over all maintenance of
the gun range: At this same County
Commissioner meeting they told
me they were not going to run a
county range. Now this is exactly
what is happening: The Sheriff is
hired by the county and. he is run-
ning the range.
Caloosa Sports Shooters, Inc.
has used most of its funds. We
have spent $2,000 on meeting the
requirements asked by the Hendry
County Sheriff's Department. The
use of the range has been restricted
and members receive no benefit


from paying dues. The gun club
cannot charge people to use the
range that are not club members,
which takes away our income to
promote youth programs. At this
time, as President of the Caloosa
Shooters Gun Club, Incorporated,
we will be dissolving the club.
Shooter enthusiasts, can still come
out every Wednesday to use the
skeet and trap range, but I am still
not sure when the pistol and rifle
range will be open for public use.
I would hope the county will
continue to provide improvements
in the trap and skeet range; I also
believe all of this could have been
avoided by the county including
the gun club on its insurance policy
and a scheduling agreement and
training facility use with the Hendry
County Sheriff's Department.- For-
mer club members will look for-
ward to when Sheriff Ronnie Lee
opens the range on Saturdays. It
was the club's goal to provide a
safe area that working families
could go out for the evening or
weekend to enjoy time together in
recreational activities. The club
also wanted to promote youth edu-
cation programs in. gun safety,
hunting safety and shooting as a
sport at no cost to youth under six-
teen years of age. For now pur club
can no longer provide this type of
service to the community. ,
Caloosa Sports Shooters had
made prior commitment to the
Florida Boy Scout Benefit shoot for
the year of 2007 and we will use the
funds that we had set aside for this
event. If any former club members
would like to volunteer for this
event please contact me at 675-
6432.

chance it? Just don't do it! Just Jr/Sr High School, 7th grade
abstain! For each action there is a con-


sequence. The outcome can be
good or bad. Either way we must
accept responsibility for not only
the choice we made but for also
for the way the outcome has
effected our present and future.
Today it is many teens' responsi-
bility to think ahead about how
their decisions can change their
plans. .Teen pregnancy is on the
up-rise. So you have to ask your-
self now. Will I have sex-before
marriage? If so will I use protec-
tion and accept the responsibility
for my actions?
One thing many teens don't
think about is how small deci-
sions like whether or not to have
sex can affect their future. I know
I want to go to college. But how
would a baby change that plan?
How can a person go to college
and raise a child at the same
time? A lot of the time it can't be
done.
Then what about a career?
No, I'm not talking about a job;
I'm talking about a career. With-
out proper education not many
businesses will even consider
you. Plus, the fact that you have a
child to take care of you may
never have time for a real career.
I'm not going to end up with, this
problem.
I have made my decision now.
My choice is that I won't go
through with teenage pregnancy.
I am not going to sacrifice my
future I have always wanted, the
dreams I have always had., I
refuse to be sitting at home 10 or
15 years after an early pregnancy
wondering what would have
happened. I am going to know.
Every choice we make has a
chain reaction and affects what
our future holds. I have made my
choice now that I won't let any-
thing change the future I have
planned for my self. With all the
choices available including
abstinence, birth control, and
more I will prevent any kind of
pregnancy until I am prepared to
settle down and accept the con-
sequences for my actions.
Whether those consequences
are good or bad, I choose absti-
nence.

Jerome Dawkins, CMS, 6th
grade
In America today over 40 per-
cent of teenagers are sexually
active. And over 30 percent


become teen parents or contract
a STD. Mainly because of peer
pressure and lack of knowledge.
Peer pressure is agreeing on
something that you normally
wouldn't agree to.
Many young people find out
the hard way after having sex,
that things aren't the way they
thought it would be. Almost all
teens, that are having sex say
that after having sex they wish
that they would have waited.
Almost all are females. Many
aren't aware of the conse-
quences.
The biggest concern is the
AIDS epidemic. AIDS stand for
Acquired Immune Deficiency
syndrome. It is caused by the
human immunodeficiency
virus. When the virus gets into
the body, it damages the
immune system, the body sys-
tem that fights infection. Once
the virus enters the body, it can
grow quietly in the. body for
months or even years. People
infected with HIV might not feel
or appear sick. Eventually, the
weakened immune system gives
way to certain types of infec-
tions.
How the disease is transmit-
ted:
The virus enters the body in
three basic ways: Through
direct contact with the blood-
stream. Examples of this include
contact with blood, semen, vagi-
nal fluids or breast milk of an
infected mother. Through the
mucous membrane linings in
eyes, mouth, throat, rectum and
vagina. Example: Haying sex
without a latex condom with an
HIV positive person male or
female. Through being infected
as an unborn child or .shortly
after birth by an infected moth-
er. The virus can not enter
through the skin unless a cut or
break in the skin. Even then the
possibility of infection is very
low unless there is a direct con-
tact for a lengthy period of time.
Saliva is not known to transmit
HIV.
Prevention:
Your behavior can put you at
risk for being infected with HIV,
HBV, and HCV. Having sex with-
out protection (such as con-
doms) put you and others at
risk, Clean any area of your skin
that comes in contact with
blood or body fluids.

More big shoes to fill at LHS


By Kristin Hunter
Janice Foster has changed
jobs from LHS Assistant Principal
to Administrator of Federal Pro-
grams, effective July 1. She will
be in charge of Supplemental
Educational Services also known
as SES, which is for elementary
and middle school students in
low income families at Title 1
schools that did not reach the
Adequate Yearly Progress for
three or more years. The only
two schools in the district that
did reach the Adequate Yearly
Progress are LES and UES.
SES includes tutoring, remedi-
ation and academic intervention.
All instruction must take place
outside the regular school day
and designed to increase the aca-
demic achievement of eligible
students. The district is required
to offer these services under the
"No Child Left Behind Act." Ser-
vices may be prioritized among


those in greatest academic need.
Some of her responsibilities
will be to identify and notify par-
ents of eligible students annually
that supplemental educational
services are available; help par-
ents choose from a list of servic-
es that is given to them by the
Department of Education; and
then enter into an agreement
with the provider selected by the
parent.
Mrs. Foster has been in the
Hendry County district school
system for a total of 25 years. She
started in Clewiston schools and
then came to LaBelle schools.
She taught sixth grade English at
Clewiston Middle School for
three years. She then taught Eng-
lish as well. as yearbook at
Clewiston High School for four
years and was in guidance for
nine years beginning in 1988.
She was at LHS for a total of
nine years. She was in guidance


at LHS for three years and then
was an assistant principal for six
years. As an assistant principal
her job entailed a plethora of
things; however, her main focus-
es were curriculum, discipline,
ESE and teacher certification.
She is looking forward to her
new position but she will miss
being an assistant principal as
well. When asked what she will
miss most she said, "I will miss
the kids and the faculty."
Dan Gilbertson, the new LHS
principal coming in, along with a
board of people; will decide who
the next assistant principal will
be. Mrs. Foster noted that it
would be a good idea to have a
female as the other assistant
principal but she doesn't know if
that will happen or not. Her first
job will to be to "spill her brain"
for the new assistant principal
coming in, but that will be diffi-
cult and will probably have to

School district takes on nutrition


By Kristin Hunter
Let's face it. Americans do not eat
very well as a whole. They live in a
fast food societywhere it is much eas-
ier and more convenient to go
through the drive thru than to cook
homemade foods. Americans are
also not moving as. much as they
need to. This newgeneration is grow-
ing up on technology such as com-
puters, color T. and video games.
Therefore, it is important to become
more aware of the obesity problem
facing society and take a stand to do
something about it That is exactly
what the school board is doing. It is
taking notice of these facts.
The school board is implement-
ing a Student and Staff Wellness
Plan that will provide school envi-
ronments that will promote and
protect children's health, well-
being and ability to learn by sup-
porting healthy eating, physical-
activity and avoiding risky behavior.
According to the plan:
All students in grades PK-12
will have opportunities to be physi-
cally active
Foods and beverages sold or
served at school will meet the nutri-
tion recommendations of the U.S.
SDietary Guidelines for Americans.
Schools will provide nutrition
education and physical education
to foster lifelong habits of healthy
eating arid phi sica acti\ it.
Schools \ ill provide age appro-
priate information for students
about the dangers of risky behavior
and the promotion of a healthy/safe


lifestyle including use and abuse of
alcohol, tobacco and drugs, bicy-
cle/motor vehicle safety, over expo-
sure to the sun and skin cancer, sex
and sexually transmitted diseases,
gun safety and personal hygiene.
Retirees
Three LaBelle area retirees were
recognized at the School Board Meet-
ing held on June 27. Barbara Jan
Gann, Director of Federal Programs,
is retiring after 27 years. Vickidd Carter,
Paraprofessional at UES, is retiring
after nine years and Vicki Patton, Sec-
retary of Human Resources, is retir-
ing after 20 years. Marilyn Teal who
has worked at LMS as a clerk/typist
for years, will be replacing Vicki Pat-
ton as the new Secretary of Human
Resources at thecounty office.
Time changes
The time schedule for LaBelle
schools has been accepted. The

South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) hosted a ceremo-
ny as ground was broken to begin
the Lake Okeechobee Aquifer Stor-

Corps' Chief Restoration Program
Division and program manager for
ecosystem restoration. "This pilot
project is vital in determining the
feasibility of using this technology
to achieve successful ecosystem
restoration."

and the information it will provide
for future decision-making. He stat-
ed that the National Academy of
Sciences had reviewed the scope of
work for the ASR regional study
and the pilot project, and had not
only accepted but applauded the
efforts it represented.
ASR will store large quantities of
fresh water, up to five million gallons
per day, where it can be treated to
meet federal and state water stan-
dards, and later used to meet ecologi-
cal and other water resource needs.
The pilot phase will be constructed at
two locations adjacent to Lake Okee-
chobee along the Kissimmee River,
near its outlet to Lake Okeechobee in
Okeechobee County, and by the St.
Lucie canal near the Port Mayaca lock
in Martin County. Itwill be completed
over asix year period and will cost an
estimated $19 million.
ASR technology has been used
in Florida since the early 1980s to


maintain adequate supplies of
drinking water. CERP proposes to
use up to 333 ASR wells to store a
total of as much as 1.6 billion gal-
lons of fresh water per day to ensure
water for the Everglades, to improve
conditions in Lake Okeechobee
and to prevent damaging releases of
fresh water to coastal estuaries.
Water that is pumped into the
aquifer displaces the slightly salty
aquifer water, and the stored water
is recovered via pumping for later
beneficial use. The pilot project is
necessary to identify the optimum
configuration for the storage wells
and will help to determine Wrater
quantity and quality characteristics.
"There are only so many
options," said Duke. "We're doing
everything we can in the short term
and planning even more for the
long term to save Lake Okee-
chobee because we know it's the
heart of the Everglades ecosystem."

Kunkel documented historic Florida flora, fauna


By MaryAnn Morris
While all the exploring and
money making schemes were
much afoot in Florida, others
came with different interests.
One of these "others" was John
Kunkel Small, PhD, ScD. He was
a botanist, of published note,
who just happened to be the
Head Curator of the Museums
and Herbarium of the 250-acre
New York Botanical Garden. He
wrote of the ferns and flora of
South Florida: the Keys, Miami,
the Everglades, Cape Sable and
his travels to Lake Okeechobee
and the Big Cypress all from 1913
through 1918. Few scientists of
such note have left such a record.
In his pamphlet, Explorations
in south Florida, 1915, he speaks
of starting his travels here in
1903. He documented, in scien-
tific descriptions and photo-
graphs, the Florida that was.
His "A Botanical Excursion to
the Big Cypress", told of his trav-
els from Ft. Pierce through Okee-
chobee, Palmdale and on to the
Big Cypress. He traveled with
"Mr. W. Stanley Hanson, a bird
inspector from the United States
Biological Survey." The "facili-
ties" for collecting his plant spec-
imens were provided b\ Mr.
Chai les Deering of Miami.
"A- Fi,:,t Pi-rce disappeared
from view, we sped westward to
the Halpatiokee Swamp where
countless turtles and snakes
basked in the water pools along
the road," he says. "Alter cross-
ing the swamp another stretch of
'sand pine woods \\as traversed
with difficulty, as the combined
power of the engine and the
pushing ability of the occupants
of the car %\ere necessary to get
tllough the twelve miles of loose

r I-


sand." Such were the joys of trav-
el in early Florida or up in the
Viking today! Later he says,
"Then we reached Okeechobee
City, a settlement of several
scores of houses. In the fall of
1913 when we went up the
Onoshohatchee River from Lake
Okeechobee, this place had been
located on the map and staked
out by surveyors, but not vel col-
onized.
"At this point we left civiliza-
tion behind. From Okeechobee
City to Fisheating Creek the
country was devoid even of
roads and we took an old trail,
dating back perhaps to even
before the Seminole Wars. By
degrees, Okeechobee City disap-
peared as we hurried around the
curves, not to say, coils in the trail
and after passing through so(en
.miles of pinelands w\e came to
the bottoms or prairies of the
Kissirnmee Ri\er. These bottom
lands are like immense lawns,
perfectly e\ el, and carpeted with
a turf of arious wild grasses, and
often extending as far as the eye
can see. There were thousands
of serni-\\ ild cattle grazing on the
broad green prairies."
After an adventurous crossing
of the Kissimmee River on a ferry
boat, the\ decided to cross the
Indian Prairie that night. It was


uninhabited. He describes the
feeling of driving on the flat
expanse in the pitch black dark.
"Although the prairie was deal
level, the optical illusion was that
of running downhill and jumping
off the earth."
After a rest and a meal in
Palmdale they got an early start
for LaBelle.
"After a few hours rest, we
made an early start for LaBelle,
which is an old settlement situat-
ed at about the start of natural
navigation on the Caloosahatch-
ee River. They crossed Fisheating
Creek.
"An extremely picturesque
stream meandering through the
almost uninhabited prairie, with
its banks either exposed t, the
sun or covered \ ith shrubs and
bright-colored asters or ham.
mocks ol oaks, ash and maple
which h sometimes give way to
palmetto which h sometimes lean


far over the water's edge."
Nearing the Caloosahatchee
they met a very interesting little
Florida native.
"Perhaps the most interesting
creature on these prairies was
the Burrowing Owl. This bird, in
some places had honey-combed
the prairie with its burrows.
These tunnels, about six to eight
feet long are about a foot
beneath the sand. At one end is
an opening about six inches
across, at the other end is a nest.
The old owls are so tame we
could almost pick them up and
often they would sit quite still
\ while the automobiles passed
by them at a distance of about
two feet. 'They decided to dig
up one of the burrows, but as
theN started to dig, \ere startled
b\ the sound of a rattlesnake.

exciting," says Mr. Small, "as we
dug further and further and the
rattling became louder and
louder. We thought it would be
an excellent opportunity to get
pictures of a living rattlesnake.
After a considerable search
some surveyor's stakes were


found and a noose prepared for -3'

But what they found were 1

Girl Scout cookies shipped to military


As a result of a new Girl Scout
service project, MacDill Air Force
Base received more than 51,000
packages of Girl Scout cookies for
active military personnel that were
purchased and donated by commu-
nity members during the cookie pro-
gram implemented this past spring.
Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida,
Inc. (Gulf Coast area) partnered
with Girl Scouts of Suncoast Coun-
cil (Tampa area) to ask customers,
during the cookie sale, to purchase
an additional package of cookies


for active military personnel. Girl
Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, Inc.
sold more than 10,000 packages of
cookies for the, military or 11 per-
cent of its total sales for 2006.
In late spring, the cookies were
shipped directly from the baking
company, Little Brownie Bakers, to
MacDill Air Force Base where they
were distributed to active military
men and women.
"This service project was a
great effort to recognize our mili-


tary personnel," said Sandi Stew-
art, CEO of Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast
Florida, Inc. "It also taught the girls
the importance of philanthropy
and community service. And, we
are grateful to the community for it
generous support of this project."
Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida
is chartered by Girl Scouts of the
USA and serves more than 8,900
girls in Manatee, Sarasota, Char-
lotte, DeSoto, Lee, Collier, and half
of Hendry counties.

I r- ;- ... .... ..- .- -
Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter
Puppet show: "Heroes of the Hurricane"-Robbie the raccoon, Aunt BB the badger and Dufus
the donkev


e Lae Muay e t shorw
Renee Pratt and grandson Lane Murray enjoy the show.


Puppets instruct kids on hurricane safety


Hurricane season not only
affects people but woodland ani-
mals as well. Humans may not
think of the process that animals go
through such as preparing for the
storm, living, through the storm
and eventually rebuilding, but they
have to do it, too. Project HOPE put.
on a puppet show with woodland
animals at the' Barren Library
called "Heroes of the Hurricane."


The puppets included-woodland
animals like Mr. Eagle, Robbie the
raccoon, Dufus the donkey, Aunt
BB the badger, Frog, snake, bear,
etc. At the end of the show the
song "Bright Sun Shiny Day"
played "I can see clearly now the
rain is' gone. I can see all the obsta-
cles in my way. 'It's gonna be a
bright, bright, bright; bright sun
shiny day." The puppet'show is


intended to make children aWare
of hurricane season in a fun way by
teaching them what they need to
do in the case of a hurricane such
as safety preparations and having a
first aid kit prepared.
After the show Project HOPE
had some activities to make the
kids more knowledgeable about
hurricane season such as true and
false questions and open ended
questions like "When does hurri-


cane season start and end or how
many miles per hour does it take to
make a hurricane?" Answers: June
1-November 30 and 74 miles per
hour.
Project HOPE is a team of local.
people, identified by a Project
HOPE yellow shirt, with a mission
to respond to disaster recovery/sur-
vival needs within the county. They
help people in the hurricane recov-
ery process to cope, to clarify and


prioritize their needs, to return to
pre-disaster status, to express their
concerns and to find necessary
resources by referring people to
essential services. They assist peo-
ple'by providing reassurance and
counsel, education and informa-
tion on safety and assistance and
support to local programs, encour-
agement and aid with stress man-
agement and specialty programs
tailored to various populations.

Summertime is an open invitation to fire ants


I


During the summer months
and extra dry times of the year, fire
ants can be a real problem. There
are so many products on the mar-
ket you may find a decision hard
to make. Ortho Orthene is a very
good product to be applied direct-
ly on the mound. This product has
a very bad odor, but it goes away


after a few days. The main thing I
have found is to switch from one
product to another so the pest will
not become immune.
Plumbago is avery drought tol-
erant plant once established. The
'book will tell you one inch of
water a month is required. I have,
two plants in my yard which are


testimony to how drought tolerant
they are.
Remember the two hottest
months are August and Septem-
ber, make sure you pick plants
suitable for the sun and the heat.
If you have any questions
about your plants please call Sara
at 863-675-3988.

This is the Journey to restore America's Everglades'


By MaryAnn Morris
The "water problem" in
South Florida is a big one and
public awareness has spurred
efforts to assure Floridians that
clean water will be there for
their use, but not so much that
it floods their homes and ruins
natural resources.
New technology has speed-
ed up and improved the ability
of scientists and engineers to
see the long-term damaging
results of the old "ditch it and
drain it" philosophy that had
characterized the development
of Florida since it became a
state. The Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration Plan
(CERP) will improve south
Florida's ecosystem (including
human habitat) by restoring
water flows that were changed
tremendously, with all good
intentions, over the past centu-:
ryi It is the largest environmen-
tal restoration effort in the
world.
CERP projects will capture
and store as much of the bil-
lions gallons of fresh water as
possible which are now
drained off into the Atlantic
Ocean and Gulf of Mexijo.
There are more than 50 sepa-
rate projects in the 16 counties
of CERP. CERP is all of South
Florida, which has a growing
population of more than 7 mil-
lion residents.
CERP was authorized by
Congress in 2000. Now, many
individual CERP projects are
being designed, land is being
acquired and related efforts are
underway.
The U.S. Artny Corps of
Engineers (COE) is the lead
agency, working with the South
Florida Water Management Dis-
trict (SFWMD) and other feder-
al, state, local and tribal part-
ners. The Everglades is unique -
there is no other wetland sys-
tem like it on earth. It is home
to rare and endangered animals
and plants. Floridians rely on
the Everglades to provide water
supply, recreation and econom-
ic benefits and enhance quality
of life. CERP is the only com-
prehensive plan to restore the
Everglades.
The seven principal features
of CERP are designed to
improve water quality, quantity,
timing and distribution. Each
CERP project includes one or
more of these features: Kissim-
mee Chain of Lakes and the
Kissimmee River, the Indian
River Lagoon and the St. Lucie
River, the Caloosahatchee River
and Big Cypress National Pre-
serve, Biscayne Bay, Florida
Keys, Florida Bay and Ever-
glades National Park, plus Lake
Okeechobee water conserva-
tion areas. These seven features
are:

Surface Water
Storage Reservoirs
181,300 acres of above and
in-ground reservoirs are
planned to store millions of gal-
lons of water. The C-43 reser-
voir is under construction in
Hendry County.

Aquifer Storage
and Recovery
More than 300 underground
water storage wells are pro-
posed to store up to 1.6 billion
gallons of treated water a day in


Special to INI/U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers
For the most part, CERP
involves the Kissimmee
River area, the Lake Okee-
chobee area, the Everglades
Agricultural Area and
regions to the south.
confined aquifers.

Stormwater
Treatment Areas
(STA)
35,600 acres of manmade
wetlands will be constructed
and planted with phosphorus-
hungry plants to remove pol-
lutants and other harmful con-
taminants from water before it
is discharged to the Ever-
glades.

Wastewater Reuse
Two advanced treatment
plants are proposed to recycle
more than 220 million gallons
of wastewater a day, adding a
new source of high quality
water.for the southern Ever-
glades. Irrigation systems use
recycled water.

Seepage Manage-
ment Barriers
Barriers are proposed to be
built to stop the rapid inder-
ground seepage of water out of
the Everglades, which today
results in the loss of millions pf
gallons of water each year

Removing barriers
to sheet flow
.More than 240 miles of
canals and levees may be
removed to restore the historic
overland sheet flow (shallow
water flowing slowly on the
surface) through the Ever-
glades wetlands. Sections of
Tamiami Trail will be elevated
to handle increased water
flows contributed by CERP
project features.

Operational Changes
Changes will be made in the
regional water management
system to benefit Lake Okee-
chobee, the Everglades and the
coastal estuaries.
On October 14, 2004, joined
by a host of environmental
advocates, Governor Jeb Bush
unveiled an ambitious plan to
accelerate the restoration of
America's Everglades. As part
of the $8 billion state-federal
partnership to restore the River
of Grass, Florida is stepping up
the pace to complete critical
environmental projects more
than a decade ahead of sched-
ule. This is the Acceler8 Pro-
gram.
"Florida is strengthening its


Special to INI/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Historically, the water' from Lake Okeechobee flowed in a
sheet over southern Florida. When rains came, the lake
overflowed its banks, replenishing the muck soils. Then
the land was drained by ambitious men and an ambitious
young state for farming and homes. The flow changed. No
one realized what would happen. CERP will restore, as
much as is possible, the natural ebb and flow of water that
created what was South Florida.


commitment to the Everglades
by further accelerating the
largest environmental restora-
tior effort in this nation's his-
tory," said Governor Jeb Bush,'
"Completing critical restora-
tion projects more than 10
years ahead of schedule will
provide immediate environ-
mental, social and economic
benefits."
Florida decided to speed up
funding, design and construc-
tion to complete eight of the
CERP restoration projects over
the next seven years. At sub-
stantial savings to taxpayers,
these eight projects include
construction of close to 20,000.
acres of treatment marsh,
which use plants to clean pollu-
tion from water flowing into
the Everglades. In addition,
above ground reservoirs will
offer 418,000 acre-feet of water
storage the same capacity as
six million residential swim-
ming pools and about enough
to lower the level of the lake
one foot.
Construction of storage
marshes, reservoirs and
stormwater treatment areas to
hold and store stormwater
runoff and also excess water
from Lake Okeechobee will
protect the coastal estuaries
and the Everglades to the
south. By not storing all the
excess water in the lake, the
Herbert Hoover Dike, never
intended to create long term
storage of water, will be pro-
tected from the pressure of
accumulations of high water.
At the same time, this water
can be released from storage
when needed to keep -fresh
water for human use including
agriculture. Coastal wetlands
near Biscayne Bay will improve
marine habitat and Biscayne
National Park. Another "canal"
will give more sheet flow to
Florida Bay, again doing away
with harmful fresh water dis-
charges in-the Southern Glades
and other areas.
With much of the land need-
ed to complete Everglades
restoration already in public
ownership, remaining parcels
will be acquired at today's
prices avoiding rising property
values. Construction and engi-
neering jobs will be created in
South Florida, while labor and
materials will be purchased at
today's prices.
Restoring America's Ever-
glades will revive habitat for
more than 60 threatened and
endangered species, establish a
reliable supply of water for


more than a million Floridlalns
and provide flood control con-
sistent with the restoration,
rather than dumping it, via the
rivers into the oceans a ben-
efit that was emphasized by the
impact of four hurricanes on
South Florida's shores.
Acceler8 is a 50-50 state-fed-
eral partnership which imple-
ments the $8 billion Compre-
hensive Everglades Restoration
Plan. Florida has committed
more than $2.5 billion, through
the end of the decade to clean
up and restore America's Ever-
glades.
Planners. hope that some
day Lake Okeechobee will
once again become a healthy
lake. Both the shallow and
open water areas within the
lake, essential to its commer-
cial and recreational fishery
and other aquatic species, will
be greatly enhanced by the
improved water levels as a
result of the Comprehensive
Plan. This will mean .more
abundant and healthier fish
populations. Water quality in
the lake will also be improved
significantly by reducing the
nutrient loading of water flow-
ing into the lake. Lake Okee-
cholbee provides huge regional
benefits to wildlife, including
waterfowl, other birds and
mammals.
Major benefits will be pro-
vided to the Caloosahatchee
and St. Lucie estuaries and
Lake Worth Lagoon. The Com-
prehensive Plan eliminates
almost all the damaging fresh
water releases to the Caloosa-
hatchee and most detrimental
releases to the St. Lucie and
makes substantial improve-
ments to Lake Worth Lagoon.
As a result, abundant favorable
habitats will be provided for the
many aquatic species that
depend on these areas for food,
shelter, and breeding grounds,
thereby enhancing the produc-
tivity and economic viability of
estuarine fisheries.

Bark beetle activity


is on the increase


Bark beetle activity is on the
increase in southwest Florida. In
the counties of Hendry, Lee and
Collier, south Florida slash pines
are under great stress from
drought conditions experienced
over the last few months. Heaped
onto this stress are the past two'
years' hurricane seasons and the
often deplorable conditions that
large pine trees grow in when sur-
rounded'by development. The like-
ly culprits are Ips engraver beetles
and/or black turpentine beetles.
Fortunately, the aggressive south-
ern pine beetle does not stray this
far south for a number of reasons.
Concerned homeowners and
landscape managers will likely see
larger pines, often the most cher-
ished in their yards and land, afflict-
ed as the responsible insects target
weak and stressed trees, which are
normally south Florida slash pines
over 60 years old. Affected trees
will normally show a two week to
one month color fade from a nor-
mal green to orange and finally red
with most of the needles staying on
the tree. Also, dime to quarter size


patches of red sap will be visible in
buttons on the stem of the tree. All
of the pine needles on trees will be
affected and not just scattered tufts
that are normally associated with
normal new needle growth in
pines this time of year.
The key to prevent the loss of
many of our pines is three pronged.
First, as land is developed,.the grow-
ing space of the remaining pine
trees needs to be properly man-
aged, i.e. not piling fill dirt over
roots. Second, pines will do best
with a two-three inch layer of pine
straw that is refreshed annually to
provide normal inputs to their root-
ing zone. Third, more pines need to
be planted. Pine seeds drop natural-
ly between the months of Septem-
ber and November or seedlings can
be planted. Seedlings are available
from private nurseries and the Flori-
da Division of Forestry, along with
advice on how to plant lirndr manage
pines. With planning, pines can
continue to tower over southwest
Florida for generations to come and
provide wildlife habitat, shade and
other forest products.
