Senior Connections
struggles to survive

By Patty Brant
A week after Senior Connec-
tions lost the contract to provide
services to the elderly in Hendry
and Glades counties, changes are
becoming evident. Senior Con-
nections lost the contract because
it fell behind on documentation as
the organization struggled to pro-


vide services through two devas-
tating hurricane seasons.
Hope Connections, part of
Hope of Southwest Florida which
also provides hospice and other
services, was awarded that con-
tract by Area Agency on Aging
(AAA) a move being contested
by Senior Connections. In fact,
Senior Connections, which has
provided services to seniors for
some 30 years, has even engaged
an attorney in the matter and has
refused to allow Hope access to its


facilities.
However, Hope is already
beginning to build a meals and in-
home service program in
Hendry/Glades. The group offi-
cially took over Senior Connec-
tions' contract on August 1.
On August 2, seniors who had
been receiving hot meals deliv-
ered to their door by Senior Con-
nections volunteers were sur-
prised to find a package
containing seven days worth of
meals delivered to their doorstep.

Music filling the air at LHS


By Kristin Hunter
The'band's half time show
this year will be a "Tribute to
Charlie Brown." The show fea-
tures songs such as "You're a


Good Man Charlie Brown,"
"Christmas Time is Here,"
"Linus and Lucy" which is the
Charlie Brown theme song and
"Happiness." There are 38 stu-
dents in band this year with two


drum majors including Nick
Proverbs, who plays the tuba,
and Robert Higginbotham, who
plays the trumpet.
See Camp Page 2


Senior Connections Executive
Director Christine Nolan was con-
cerned that the meals and the
service were inadequate for the
clients. She contended that many
of the clients are unable to heat up
meals on their own and that they
really need the few minutes of
human contact provided daily by
volunteers delivering meals. Ms.
Nolan admitted that such prob-
lems are bound to come up in this
type of situation, saying that Hope
was "ill prepared" to take over


local services, particularly meal
service.
Hope Connections Director
Samira Beckwith admitted that
her group was unprepared for
home meal delivery, but said that
hot meal delivery would begin
this week. She said the initial
home delivered meals were a
"stop-gap" measure, and
described them as "shelf stable,"
meeting the dietary requirements

a true friend


Kenneth John Curtis died
peacefully at his home on Ft.
Denaud Road at the age of 101
on August 3, 2006.
Well
known as a
man with a
great heart,
he led a full
life, sharing
the wealth
of his soul
as freely as
he did his Kenneth
earthly John Curtis
treasure.
Onh !: his
100th birthday, he was sur-
prised by over 100 well-wish-
ers who helped celebrate the


life of an extraordinary man.
Mr. Curtis was born March
24, 1905, in Negaunee, Michi-
gan, the son of a miner. From
that humble beginning, he
took with him a good dose of
"horse sense" that he relied
upon throughout his life. He
worked many years for
Chevrolet Motors and Coca
Cola Corp. as an accountant
and auditor. When he retired,
he and his wife, Isabella,
bought a sailboai, and'sailed to
Florida. On a trip up the
Caloosahatchee River in 1954
they fell in love with the
LaBelle area and bought prop-

WWII gunner 'kept a cool head'


By Jo Coombs
Raymond Bost was born July
16, 1914, at Mooresville, North
Carolina. When the USA entered
World War II in 1941, Mr. Bost
was single, so naturally, Uncle
Sam wanted him. The Army told
him there would be no more
deferments. Mr. Bost asked
when would he have to be
sworn in and was told "that
day." He asked if he could have
ten days to get his car and
belongings to his father in North
Carolina, before being sworn in,
and the leave was granted. Mr.
Bost had already decided that he
wanted to go into the Navy so he
walked down the street to the
Navy, signed up and was sworn
in that day. The Navy then grant-
ed him a 15-day leave for the trip
to North Carolina.
Mr. Bost trained for four
weeks as a machine gunner on
a 20 millimeter aircraft gun


before he was assigned to a
cargo ship that took supplies to
England, Africa and Italy. These
ships were usually over 450 feet
long and 55 feet wide and would
reload in Norfolk, VA or Balti-
more, MD. Supplies such as fuel,
ammunition, weapons, grain
and other foods were kept
below deck and sealed in hold-
ing areas below water level.
These cargo ships were also
known to carry planes, tanks,
trucks, heavy machinery and
even a few railroad locomotives
above and below deck. These
ships weighed over seven tons
empty and over 14 tons when
full. Mr. Bost crossed the "Pond"
(the ocean) numerous times.
The biggest water convoy that
he remembers was 85 ships
consisting of cargo ships, air-
craft carriers and destroyers
which acted as escorts. When a
sailor went on leave, he would
be put on a different ship


because the prior one would
have already left port.
When in a war zone, the
sailors had to stand watches.
Everyone who got a chance to
get 40 winks had to sleep in their
clothes and shoes. Sometimes
weeks went by before anyone
got a bath. Not because there
weren't showers, but because of
air raids and having to be at your
post in a minute's notice. Mr.
Bost said that the weather on the
Atlantic was very cold, some-
times as low as 40 below. When
this was the case, he had battery
connected pants and shirt for
warmth, gloves and a
mask/hood for his head.
1942 was rough! Hitler had
submarines to sink cargo ships.
Mr. Bost's hip and leg were
injured because of metal shrap-
nel during a torpedo hit on his
ship. This ship was 180 miles off

set up by the AAA.
Ms. Beckwith said, as of last
Monday, Hope has taken on 15 of
Senior Connections' former
employees and expected to take
on more. She said this will help
ensure continuity in services for
clients. Hope Connections also
expects to have its own facilities
soon in LaBelle, Clewiston and
Moore Haven and will also be
adding a socialization component
to its services in Hendry/Glades.
It was late June when Senior
Connections got the news that
Area Agency on Aging (AAA) was
pulling its contract and awarding it
to Hope. Since then, Senior Con-
nections' personnel have been
working to salvage as much of the
30-year-old program as possible.
Senior Connections owns the
L.J. Nobles Senior Center in
LaBelle. Although the building is
paid for, due to federal regulations
on a grant used in its purchase, the
building must continue to be used
to provide senior services for at

the coast of Newfoundland in an
area commonly referred to as
"Torpedo Junction." During a
short period of time, as many as
17 ships were sunk by the Ger-
mans in this area. This injury
caused Mr. Bost to be hospitalized
for three months at St. John, New-
foundland.
In Naples, Italy, during an air
raid, the German planes were
bombing the ship. Each gunner
wore earplugs. Mr. Bost was man-
ning his gun and positioned next
to a bigger aircraft gun when his
earplugs fell out. That particular
gun was so big that when it fired
the deck would shake. Mr. Bost
stated, "You know, you can't be
down on your knees during an air
raid trying to find your earplugs."
Unfortunately, this incident
caused his hearing loss in both
ears.
On December 24, 1943, Mr.
Bost landed in Hawaii for a three-
month tour at the Pearl Harbor
Ship Yard before being transferred
to Guam. In Guam he was
assigned to Admiral Lockwood as
a driver (everything from jeeps to
heavy equipment and also offi-
cers)..Admiral Lockwood was in
charge of the submarines. The A-.


least another two-and-a-half years.
Ms. Nolan said staff continues to
keep its doors open and remains a
"lifeline" for clients. While at the
Nobles Center last Saturday, Ms.
Nolan said she answered a phone
call from a diabetic client who was
feeling dizzy and weak. She called
an ambulance for the client. "We
will continue to do the right thing,"
she commented.
Senior Connections also owns
its Moore Haven facility at 101 First
Street, but rents its Clewiston facili-
ty, located next to the John Boy
Auditorium. In Buckhead Ridge, it
shares a facility on CR 78E with the
community center. In Immokalee,
Senior Connections owns the,
Roberts Center, which is located
on property leased from the
Immokalee Chamber of Com-
merce until 2015. The contract for
Immokalee services went to
Senior Friendship Center.
Ms. Nolan said Senior Connec-
tions fronts the money for services
and, in the past, has been reim-
bursed by AAA. On August 4,
Senior Connections was notified
that access to the statewide data
base used to generate monthly


bombs that were dropped on
Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan,
came out of Guam.
Mr. Bost left Guam in January
of 1946, and landed in San Diego.

him in Norfolk, Virginia, so now it
was time to start the easterly trek.
Men from all branches of the serv-
ice were put on a train that had
three Pullman cars and numerous
cargo cars. This train went up the
west coast, to Washington State
before turning toward the east
coast. It stopped at every "dip"
(town) next to the tracks to let off
and take on passengers and
cargo. Sometimes these Pullman
cars sat on.a side track for two or
three days. It took Mr. Bost two
months to reach Norfolk.
When asked about the war
and the hardships that he has had
in life, Mr. Bost said, "I've faced
hardships and death a number of
times felt like I would make it -
kept a cool head."
Mr. Bost has been a resident of
Florida since 1950, and has'lived in
the Felda area for about 30 years.
The first time he came to this area,
he was working for a machine
shop on the east coast. He was
sent to set-up machines for John-
son Brothers in Immokalee. Mr.
Bost stated, "That was when cattle
were still walking around in the
streets in Immokalee." After
numerous Immokalee machine


reports for that reimbursement
would be cut off and all its data
needed to be input by 8 a.m. Mon-
day. Ms. Nolan said she worked all
weekend to make sure the infor-
mation was provided. Senior Con-
nections as a $1.3 million annual
budget; of which about $1.2 mil-
lion came from AAA. In early July,
the Hendry County commission-
ers voted to help finance three
additional months of nutritional
services for Senior Connections
and offered to support them with a
letter writing campaign.
Glades County commissioners
and Moore Haven City commis-
sioners share concerns about
elder services and.have set a joint
meeting with members of Moore
Haven and Glades county com-
missions, AAA, Hope and Senior
Connections for 7 p.m. August 21,
in the commissioners room at the
Glades County Courthouse.
Ms. Beckwith said Hope pro-
vides support, such as homemak-
ing and in-home nursing visits, and
counseling visits. If anyone who
needs services or has questions
can call Hope toll free at 1-866-659-
7223.


set-ups for the farmers, he decided
he liked the area and it was time to
stay.
Mr. Bost's wife passed away
about 20 years ago. They had
three children which are all
deceased: a son in the Viet Nam
War, a 48-year old son from health
problems and a daughter in a car
accident. He still has his "adopted
family" (the residents of Palms
and Pines in Felda), and now he
has a new family, the staff and resi-
dents of Oakbrook of LaBelle.
Mr. Bost was still driving a car
when he came to Oakbrook, but
decided to give it up. So now his
three-wheeled bicycle has its own
special parking place inside.
When he wants to take his "blue
beauty" out for a spin, he takes off
down the hallway and through the
nursing home. With a bell on the
handlebar, which he frequently
uses to let people know he's com-
ing, he has been nicknamed "The
Ding-a-ling Man." Because of the
rain, he rides mostly in the parking
lot, but he's no stranger to any of
the streets around Oakbrook.
Mr. Bost also enjoys riding
down to Sav-a-Lot. So if you just
happen to come up on Raymond
Bost and the "blue beauty" some-
where, take a few minutes out of
your busy schedule to chat with
him. It will be an experience you
won't soon forget!

erty on the river.
He was instrumental in form-
ing the Hendry County Bank in
1963 and was president of the
bank from the time of its forma-
tion until shortly before merging
with Florida Community Bank.
Of modest needs himself, he
always "wanted great things for
other people" including not
having to choose between work
and an education.
After Isabella's death in 1987
he started the Isabella Curtis
Memorial Scholarship program
for LaBelle High School students.
To date over 1,000 students have
received full scholarships at Edi-
son College. He continued to
contribute to an endowment
fund that will help local students
receive a college degree into the
foreseeable future. He was also a
major contributor to the Edison
campus being built near LaBelle.
Mr. Curtis was also very gen-
erous to the Caloosa Humane
Society.
Mr. Curtis was named the
Greater LaBelle Chamber of
Commerce Citizen of the Year in
2002. A nomination letter by
Tully Dunlap read in part: "Since
arriving in LaBelle in 1955, Ken
Curtis has worked diligently for
the betterment of our communi-
ty... Ken Curtis is a man of quiet
dignity; a private man; man of
tremendous stature; a man of
loyalty and dedication. A man
who is willing and anxious to
share his financial blessings with
his fellow man."
In addition to the many
LaBelle residents to whom he
was so dear, he leaves to mourn
his' passing a nephew, Buck Cur-
tis; niece, Sharon Fritz, and a host
of friends. Cremation will be by
Akin-Davis Funeral Home-
LaBelle. At his request, there will
be no memorial service.

City to discuss MLK sidewalks


By Patty Brant

The lack of adequate side-
walks along Martin Luther King
Blvd. is a recurring topic at the
monthly Hendry County Comn-
munity Traffic Safety Team
meetings. The walking area on
the west side of MLK is incor-
rectly marked by a double yel-
low line, making it easy to be
mistaken for part of the road. At
one time, concrete borders that
look like parking backstops
were installed along MLK to des-
ignate sidewalks, but they did
not last long. A while ago, the
city marked the area off with a
double yellow line, which actu-
ally designates the center of the
road.
Traffic Safety Team members
have been concerned about this
issue for months. At the August
3 meeting, Mayor Randy
Bengston agreed that the yellow
stripes are confusing to drivers
and need to be changed, at least
to white stripes. He promised to
bring the matter up to the entire
city commission at their August
17 meeting.


School
traffic safety
The Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) will pro-
vide fliers to remind Hendry Coun-
ty drivers to buckle up for safety. All
passengers 17 years of age and
under must wear seatbelts or be
secured in a car seat; adults must
wear their seatbelt if they are in
front seat only.
In an effort to make parents of
young children aware of seat belt
laws, HCSO School Resource Offi-
cers will pass out fliers early in the
school year at all elementary pick
up areas. The fliers will be written
in both English and Spanish.
Glades County is also taking the
beginning of school as an opportu-
nity to reinforce the importance of
seat belts.
HCSO Sgt. Barbara Brown
reported that there are no crossing
guards at all this year. School
Resource Officers will man the
crossings at LES, COES and LHS.
The sheriff's office continues to
seek prospects for crossing
guards, who work for only three
hours per day, split between morn-
ing and afternoon hours. If anyone

AS PEOPLE MAY KNOW BY NOW the store in Ortona and the
girls that worked there for so long are no longer there. I was told
when new owners took over the girls weren't treated very fair.
That's sad to hear because I'm a regular customer and them girls
always did a wonderful job. And they always kept that store clean. I
believe their restrooms were the cleanest I ever seen traveling on
the road. I sure will miss them old country girls.

NEW CHANGES AT ORTONA STORE I'm a long time Ortona res-
ident and frequent shopper at the Ortona Store. I can honestly say
that I'm not sad to see those girls go. I could probably count on one
hand the number of times I walked into the store and was greeted
with a smile and a hello. I applaud the new owners of the store.
They came in and saw problems and they fixed them. Now when-
ever you enter the store you feel like you are welcomed. Change is
good! I wish the new owners the best of luck.

THE WRONG CROWD Jon Lowe is a mild mannered gentle-
man. His true passion, other than his family, is flying. For many
years his smile, white T-shirt, and white hair brightened the LaBelle
hanger. In the early years he towed banners, spotted fish for local
fishermen, and was an exceptionally skilled "over the water pilot"
and that is how he met the wrong crowd. He was in the clutches of
the drug industry. He was apprehended and spent terf years in
prison.
Jon set up shop on the LaBelle airfield. He made no pretense of
hiding his past. He bid for the larger Main Hanger. The.trouble was
the crowd that operated the airport; if you wanted to get anything
done or sanctioned, one had to go through innumerable people.
Someone in the crowd did not care for Jon's success. It was alright
that he cared for disabled transient aircraft, helped form Friends of
the Airport Assn., assisted with holiday celebrations, and the Ameri-
can Cadet Corps, he and his wife served at the Senior Connec-
tions/United Way Extravaganza and many other humanitarian acts
and kept passions in bound. Jon was denied the opportunity to
operate the Main Hanger. He purchased land next to the LaBelle
airport and built a large hanger, for it was told to him that he could
have access to the airfield. This statement was later rescinded.
He and his wife have sold their house and the hanger of his
dreams. He still smiles, his T-shirt is as white as ever and his hair a
little bit lighter as he loads the trailer with years of planning. I won-
der if he thinks that again he picked the wrong crowd.
Thank you Jon, for all your years of service to the aviation indus-
try of LaBelle, from the Friends of the Airport;

Thank you


Thanks to Oakbrook
of LaBelle
We wish to take the opportu-
nity to thank the staff at Oak-
brook for their care of my Moth-
er. The medical and emotional
consideration given to her dur-
ing her stay there was beyond
expectations. The kindness
shown was such that one would
have thought she was a family
member. I Would name the staff
individually, however, I fear that
I might leave someone out.
The family of Irene Porter


Public servants
earn praise
My 92-year-old mother who
lives in LaBelle did not respond
to her medical alert call and did
not answer her phone. Living
several thousand miles away I
did not know where to
start. Her friends were on vaca-
tion; her neighbors at work.
Within the hour, after, several
attempts by the Hendry County
Sheriff's Office to rouse her, we
found she had fallen, wrapped a
deeply cut arm in a towel and


returned to sleep and in spite of
gallant efforts by the sheriff's
officer, she could not be awak-
ened. Finally I reached her by
phone, the dispatcher sent para-
medics, an incredibly kind
neighbor took her all the way to
Health Park South Hospital (as
required by her insurance com-
pany, took her to another doctor
and eventually to the Wound
Center.
Throughout this seemingly
endless harrowing experience
for her, the sheriff's dispatchers
and officers, paramedics, hospi-
tal emergency room staff, nurs-
es and doctors were incredibly
kind, patient and caring. My
mother and I are eternally grate-
ful. Her neighbor, Felicia, was
and remains an angel in dis-
guise. How can we sufficiently
express our thanks other than to
do so publicly? People who
work for the government are
often referred to as "Public Ser-
vants." It is a praiseworthy title
and most certainly deserved by
all the wonderful people who
helped that day. Thank you.
Sandra Goodwin,
Dewey, Arizona

Stand up now to save the river


From River Watch

The Caloosahatchee River is
#7 on the list of the top ten most
endangered rivers in the United
States. At a meeting in December
of 2005, Senator Bill Nelson
expressed his concerns of the
Caloosahatchee River, saying the
river plays an essential role in peo-
ple's lives, in terms of living condi-
tions as well as well being. It is a
vital part of our economy and
property values have skyrocketed.
Concerns for the state of the
Caloosahatchee grew in August
2005 with blue algae that can
cause health problems and cause
fish to die. According to River-
Watch, a lot of the blame is
addressed to the South Florida
Water Management District. In
2006 a public board meeting was
held to let citizens know what is
going on. They said, "It is killing
our real estate industry. It is
absolutely tragic. It is about agri-
culture and tourism and quality of
life in this state."
About 11 years ago worried
citizens started the CRCA-Caloosa
River Citizens Association (River-
.WAtch); an advocacy group, to
help the river have a better quality
of life. They said, "The problems
are great; they are huge. We can't
stress enough that the river has
been dying for the past 15-20
years due to new development
and a lot of different forces."
The influential aspect most
critical to the decline of the river
has to include the dredging in
Kissimmee and Cedar Key in
1881. By the early 1900s Captain
Hendry and others complained


about the drainage and how
much flooding it was creating
west of the lake because now the
Caloosahatchee and Lake Okee-
chobee were directly attached
due to a canal. Therefore, the
water runs faster than it used to.
Before, a chain of lakes used to
slow the water down so there was
a lot of natural old water treat-
ment, but not now. Water comes
to the Caloosahatchee too fast
with no retention and no natural
treatment time.
The hurricanes of 1926 and
1928 that hit Moore Haven and
Clewiston were the next two
most important impacts on the
river. The SFWMD included
widening and deepening of the
locks on its agenda. The river
went from being 8-12 ft. in the
'30s to 25 ft. in the '40s and '50s.
The Army Corps of Engineers and
the SWMD have to deal with
being blamed from many differ-
ent parties.
River advocates worry that the
problems will take a generation to
fix. There is now either too much
or not enough water. The river is
out of the appropriate flow range
about 40 percent of the time.
There is too much water in the
summer and not enough water in
the winter.
Fishermen also suffer from the
situation. Fishing for a living is
almost impossible. The fish popu-
lation has been trimmed out
tremendously because of the red
tide and algae blooms and
because the food that the fish eat
is becoming less and less. The
entire area is suffering. Matlache,
Pine Island, all bodies of water are
being affected from the pollutants


coming down the river. Research
shows that the fish population
has tremendously decreased
from the river situation.
A regulation schedule is cru-
cial in the river. The local runoff
causes problems from agriculture
and storm water. In urban areas
water that is allocated from rain-
water goes directly into the river.
Agriculture is the driving force
for the economy in the region. It
takes in more than $15 million a
year, up to a $1 billion a year from
sugar factories, such as US Sugar,
which is the largest in the area. It
provides 10 percent of all the
sugar in America.
Runoff from agricultural lands
supplies the nutrients that get into
the river. This is one of the main
causes of blue algae. It has severe-
ly degraded fish, birds and other
species.
There is a huge dissatisfaction
with the Water Management Dis-
trict. There is no election for this
board. Some people feel that the
money is being used incorrectly.
The board members are involved
in agriculture and development,
one of the board members is an
attorney whose number one
client is the agricultural industry.
There is a need for dependable
irrigation around the lake. Agri-
cultural interests lobby to the gov-
ernor to have their interests
implemented. The President of
US Sugar sits on the Water Man-
agement Board which some think
is a clear conflict of interest. The
President of US Sugar said,
"When people... get upset, what
they don't realize is that the rea-
son I was appointed is because
agriculture is an important eco-


nomic part of Florida." At the
moment there is certainly no con-
sensus. Lee County has a lawsuit
to stop the discharging of water
from the river that affects the estu-
aries.
The district funds many proj-
ects. Currently we are in a crisis
mode because of the hurricanes
the past couple years. The hurri-
canes produce bad water quality
in the lake because the sediment
has been completely churned up.
Not everybody agrees that the
state of the river has been caused
by the hurricanes, but everybody
agrees that something needs to
change the state the river is in. It's
all going to be a balancing act in
the next 20 years or so to restore
the whole 16-county ecosystem.
Taxes will be an issue. Hope-
fully, the natural system will sur-
vive. What should be done first is
a basic fundamental water policy
in Florida to develop a commis-
sion that will evaluate these prob-
lems so that a particular interest
group does not over rate the poli-
cy. We need to get away from the
social and political problems to
potentially benefit the entire
water system. This needs to be anr
elected board from now on. It
needs to be separated out accord-
ing to population. Lee, Collier and
Charlotte County would win the
most votes due to population and
that's not fair.
The pendulum is starting to
swing back, which will have an
effect on this policy. Our river i$
dying, our lake is dying, some-
thing is happening to it and we
cannot allow that.


Ready, aim, fired in Hendry County


Short of any other explanation
as to what the "sam hill" is going
on with all these governmental
"firings," I have concluded it's a
publicity stunt.
A publicity stunt promoting
the opening of the long awaited
Hendry County Sheriff's Gun
Range.
Makes you kinda have to stop
and think if that old saying "A
moving target is still harder to hit,"
is still meaningful for anyone
holding a governmental office in
Hendry Now I'm sure people
more knowledgeable than I am
about the idiosyncrasies of gov-
ernment extravaganzas, can and
will justify the ends satisfying the
means.
We've all heard that expres-
sion, "A bird in hand is worth two
in the bush." Well, that being the


It's your wori
lGet Involved

case, it occurs to me that maybe
you should be very careful who
you shake hands with from now
on.
Although it might be easy tq
reconcile our local incidents as
growing pains. Right or. wrong,
global warming, terrorists,
porous borders, no action of gov-
ernment is sacrosanct at any level.
Five thousand years ago Moses
said, "Pick up your shovels, pack
your asses, mount your camels
and "T 'shall lead you to the
Promised Land."
'To hundred plus years ago,
John Smith said, "Get off your


asses, use your shovels, clear the
land, raise sheep, cattle, camels,
cultivate crops and it will be your
Promised Land."
Last month the Congress of
the United States said, "Amigos,
throw away your shovels, sit on
your asses and light up your
Camels. We're giving you the
Promised Land."
So amidst all this conflict, con-
fusion and consternation, what is
the average citizen to do? Where
and to whom can they turn?
Well, I wasn't there, but my
Mother orphaned at 12 years old
and put in charge of her two
younger brothers sustained her-
self and brothers in 1918 by a
daily recitation of a verse in the
orphanage.
I won't repeat all of it, but
using her experience as a possible


comfort, here are a few she cher-
ished the most:
"When you are tired and dis-
couraged from fruitless efforts -
God knows how hard you have
tried."
"If you feel as if your life is on
hold & time is passing you by -
God is waiting for you."
"When you've tried everything
and don't know where to turn -
God has a solution."
"When nothing makes sense
and you are confused or frustrat-
ed God has the answer."
"Remember that wherever
you are or whatever you are fac-
ing God knows and cares about
YOU."
Respectfully,
T. W Bill Neville (Hendry
County Citizen and Taxpayer)

Letter to the Editor


Attention parents of
all L.E.S. students
Effective Monday, August 8,
2006, all parents picking their chil-
dren up from LaBelle Elementary
School in the afternoon are asked
to enter parent pick up located on
Jaycee Lions Drive from Main
Street. Our county has grown
considerably in the last several
years, and unfortunately our
roads have not caught up to the
growth. You and your child's safe-
ty are our primary concern. The
traffic congestion on Cowboy
Way in front of LaBelle Elemen-


tary after school has become a
safety issue. The only solution at
this time is to close Jaycee Lions
at Cowboy Way and have parents
enter and exit from Main Street.
We apologize for the inconven-
ience this may cause some par-
ents, but at this time it is the best
solution to a potentially danget-
ous situation. At this time, the
road closure will affect only after
school pick up and will not apply
to morning drop off.
Thank you for your coopera-
tion in this matter. Yours in Safety,
Sgt. Barbara Brown
Hendry County Sheriff's Office

For veteran teachers: How have you changed your teaching
technique in recent years?

Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter
Mrs. Megan Greenleaf, a 19-
year veteran teacher who
S. now teaches third grade at
Y. ;; Upthegrove Elementary,
S.said, "I now do more hands-
on learning. I am more of a
,.. 1. facilitator with the children
; in charge of their learning,
^and I also make sure the
children have time to read
." every day in class."
Mrs. Debbie Foutch, a 25-year vet-
eran teacher who now is the librar-
ian at Upthegrove Elementary,
said, "Technology has played a big
part of change in lesson plans.
Teachers now need to include the .,
latest in technology such as conm-
puters and white boards in their
lesson plans. Kids are now giving
presentations to the class using
technology, whereas they used to
use pen and paper."

Mrs. Robin Jones, a veteran
,,iL teacher who teaches fourth
i grade at Upthegrove Ele-
S ._ i mentary, said, "We include a
1" Ilot more technology to gath-
er data on the students to
address their individual
needs and we teach more to
|. the individual students to
add curriculum needs and to
update student information."

Mrs. Kathy Causseaux, a 28-
year veteran teacher who now
teaches Kindergarten at Upthe-
grove Elementary, said, "Cur-
riculum has changed drastical- '
ly with the "No Child Left
Behind Act." Kindergarten is
not the social play time it once *
was. It's very academically ori-
ented now. What I taught first
graders 15 years ago, I'm now
teaching kindergarteners."

Same Day Service Lab On Premises


Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Susan Hill
Relay for Life offers thanks
Relay for Life is a fun filled overnight event in which teams
raise money and compete against each other in silly con-
tests. In 2006, 13 teams raised $46,246.37 to be used for
cancer research and patient services. Each year the
LaBelle Relay for Life is held on the LHS football field. The
committee would like to thank LHS and Coach Doug Kelly
for the use of the field and for all of their assistance and
support. They truly consider LHS the "home" of the relay.

Thirty-five youth and adults from
First Baptist Church of LaBelle
recently completed an eight-day
mission trip to Jamaica, where they
taught Vacation Bible School and
led revival services at two churches
near Mandeville.
The LaBelle team was responsi-
ble for taking all of the supplies,
snacks and prizes needed for Bible
school with them to the island. They
also had to take a good portion of
the food and household items the
teams needed during the trip, which
lasted from July 14-21. While on the
island, the teams also made dona-
tions of clothing, bedding, toiletries
and money to the people to whom
theywere ministering.
Jeff Perry, youth and music
director at First Baptist, headed the
mission trip. Mr. Perry is a student at
Luther Rice Seminary in Atlanta. He
and the LaBelle group joined with
other teams from Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina. All were under
the direction of Dr. Ronald Long,
director of missions at the seminary.
While in Jamaica, the groups
were headquartered at Bethel Chris-


in trip
tian Mission, a training and retreat
center located atop one of the
mountains surrounding Mandeville.
Members of the mission team
raised the $42,000 needed to fund
the trip through contributions from
church members, love offerings
from community and family mem-
bers, a series of Saturday doughnut
sales and several dinners.
Students and adults who went
on the trip were: Jeff, Carmen and
Courtney Perry, Aarika Deerey,
Danny and Kelly Jones, Drew
Dyess, Jennifer, Alexa and Tanner
Redish, Vicki Grimaldo, Paul Pullet-
ti, James Holland, Katie Gatch, Mal-

This is the second time First Bap-
tist has sent mission teams to
Jamaica.

How can a pitcher give up a hit but be
credited with a no-hitter in the record
books? That's exactly what happened
on June 12, 1959 to pitcher Mike
McCormick of the San Francisco
Giants. After tossing five innings of no-
hit ball, McCormick surrendered a hit
I in the sixth. But then the skies opened,
Sthe rain poured down and the game was
called. According to baseball rules,
everything reverts back to the end of the

innings played count as an official game
in a rain out, McCormick was credited I

SHere's another one. How can a batter

Jason Childers was pitching for the

'Teach Me School Supply'

- everything for learning


By Kristin Hunter

Amanda Nelson, a native res-
ident and former kindergarten
teacher in LaBelle, dreamed of
one day opening her own busi-
ness. When the opportunity
arose to open a school supply
store she jumped on it. After
teaching kindergarten for eight
years, four at COE and four at
Upthegrove Elementary, she
took the knowledge that she
had from being a teacher and
turned it in to a great resource
for the community.
The store, called "Teach Me
School Supply," offers tons of
things any teacher could want
such as puzzles, flashcards,
workbooks, educational games,
hands on activities, crafts, basic
school supplies, birthday/gift
ideas, gift certificates, resource
books, stickers, stamps, bulletin
board sets, neat "teacher stuff,"
hand "fluppets," stuffed ani-
mals, teaching bears, and much
more. Amanda adds, "If I don't


have what you are looking for in
stock I can order it ASAP." The
store has been open for about
three weeks now and has been
quite busy with back to school
necessities.
According to Richard Talada,
"Teachers love it because they
can get what they need in a con-
venient location instead of driv-
ing an hour all the w\a, over to
Ft. Myers and there is a lot to
choose from." Amanda said, "It
is primarily for elementary
school teachers, but it is not just
a teacher store." Not only does
she have things for teachers of
all grades, but also gifts for baby
showers and birthdays. She
said, "Every day I get new stuff
in." As an added bonus for
every $100 you spend, you get
$10 off your next purchase. The
store has a convenient location
in the Belle Plaza at 417 W. State
Rd. 80. Store hours are Monday-
Friday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and
Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
The store also has a Website at
www.teachmesupply.com

Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Megan Greenleaf
Megan Greenleaf was among a number of teacher who
recently learned about George Washington's life.

Teacher's trip focuses

on Washington's life


Megan Greenleaf, a 19-year
veteran teacher, who now
teaches third grade at Edward
A. Upthegrove Elementary, had
the privilege of going to the
George Washington Teacher
Institute at Mt. Vernon (the
estate and garden of George
Washington) from July 22-29
for a weeklong seminar about
George Washington. Five ele-
mentary school teachers from
Florida were chosen to attend.
The seminar was intended to
inform teachers about the
extensive life of George Wash-
ington in hopes of bringing him
back into the school system.
There were authors at the
seminar who spoke about dif-
ferent aspects of his life as well
as character actors who por-
trayed historic figures such as
Martha Washington who made
you feel as though you were liv-
ing in his footsteps.
The teachers were given pri-
vate tours of the Mt. Vernon


footsteps. Mrs. Greenleaf added
that "It was awe inspiring to see
what an understated man
George Washington was." She
will be having a month long
introduction for her students
about George Washington to
teach them what he did for our
country. Not only was George
Washington our first, and
founding President for two
terms, he was also a soldier,
statesman and architect. The
farm where Washington and his
family lived was called the
"Mansion House Farm." This is
the part of the plantation that
visitors see today. George
Washington played many differ-
ent roles in the founding of our
nation: Commander in Chief of
the Revolutionary Army, first
President and leader of the Con-
stitutional Convention to name
but a few. And it is in these roles
that we think of him today.

received a new Automatic Exter-
nal Defribrillator (AED) which
will be located on school
grounds.
The Florida Legislature now
requires that each school partic-
ipating in the Florida High
School Athletic Association
(FHSAA) have access to an AED,
along with trained personnel.
Some staff members have
already received the training and
many more will for a total of
some 80 school employees.
According to Hendry County
Director of Public Safety Randy
Bengston, these defibrillators
are safe and easy to use by the
general public, with built in
safeguards. The unit actually
talks the user through the
process and pictures show
where to attach the pads.
The unit is designed so that
non-medical responders cannot
use it to shock someone who
doesn't require it. According to
the maker, AEDs interpret the
victim's heart rhythm more
quickly and accurately than
many trained emergency profes-
sionals. If the AED determines
that no shock is needed, it will

AEDs can mean the differ- when someone suffers Sudden


chaotic. The heart can no longer
pump the blood effectively and
the victim collapses, stops
breathing, becomes unrespon-
sive and has no detectable
pulse. When used on a victim of
SCA, the AED can be used to
administer a life-saving electric
shock that restores the heart's
rhythm to normal.
Anyone can have an SCA;
however, athletes may be some-
what more at risk. Although
Hendry County schools have
never had an instance of an ath-
lete suffering a SCA, fast, easy
defibrillation is an important
capability. LaBelle High School
did have one instance a year or
so of a teacher who collapsed
and died from a heart attack.
AEDs are also now stationed
at the Courthouse, LaBelle City
Hall and the Department of Chil-
dren & Families. Other public
buildings will also be outfitted
with the lifesaving devices.

New Florida cookbook gets a 'stamp of approval'


This 'may not seem like an apt
beginning for a cookbook ... mat-
ter of fact the above excerpt is not
really the beginning but an intro-
duction of sorts to the Breads &
Brunch section of the just out
FLORIDA FLAVORS II. Other
excerpts by Mr. Lyons appear here
and there through this un-ordinary
cookbook. Rich with original art by
James and Kevin Hutchinson plus
artistic motifs, this is an extraordi-
nary collection of recipes and cook-
ing ideas that will add taste and
charm to your efforts in the kitchen.
The book itself is stunning. High
gloss hardback with ring binding
which the hardback covers com-
pletely. 344 pages The full color
painting on the front cover is a work
of art by Kevin Hutchinson. The
weathered cracker house hangs on
the side of a creek, an old man con-


tentedly sits on the porch fishing,
the palms in the foreground and
background seem to be waving in
the wind and like a brilliant umbrel-
la, a poinciana tree spreads its full-
in-bloom arms over the little weath-
ered house. It's a quiet, forever
Florida scene of a bygone era.
The table of contents is very
unusual and very inviting...includ-
ing Party Fare, Breads and Brunch,
Salads and Soup, Entrees, Seafood
Entrees, Vegetables and Side Dish-
es, Desserts and lastly there are the
Pet Pages.
No less than 12 salsa recipes just


beg to be tried. And there's Peachy
Pork that can't wait for Sunday din-
ner or company as well as South-
ern Sausage and Wild Rice. And
who can live without the treats of
key limes? There's no less than
three whole pages of key lime pie
recipes including the Lorelei Key
Lime Pie that dates back to the orig-
inal Florida Classic Flavors pub-,
lished over twentyyears ago.
Although it's personal, Mama's
Best Country Meat Loaf, has been a
family favorite for generations:
(Page 136)
1 cup cracker or bread crumbs
2 cup ketchup
milk
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup chopped onions
cup chopped green bell
1 pound each ground beef,
peppers (optional) but turkey, and


hot sausage adds great flavor
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
celery salt to taste
Preheat oven to 325 to 350
degrees
Soak crumbs in enough milk to
moisten all crumbs, set aside. Saut6
onions until softened. Mix together
all' meats. Combine ,soaked
crumbs, saut6ed onions, eggs,
ketchup, soy sauce and bell pep-
pers. Add to meat mixture and
blend.
Season with salt, pepper and
celery salt. Form mixture into 3
loaves in baking pans. Bake 1 to 1 /2
hours.
This recipe is also great to use in
stuffed peppers or as meatballs.
The meatloaf freezes well, raw or
cooked. If turkey is not available,
veal is fine to use, or if neither is


available, just the hot sausage and
beef make a great loaf. In which
case, of course, the yield would be
2 loaves. Yield: 3 loaves
- Mama's Youngest Daughter, Bar-
bara Oehlbeck
Even if you never use one recipe
from this new cookbook, the
thoughts, art and observations scat-
tered throughout are worth "the
price of admission". It's no wonder
that it took the Environmental Stud-
ies Council, Inc. more than a few
years to compile this extraordinary
book.
Most recipes call for ingredients
most cooks have on hand most of
the time.
"The young are wonderful.
They are the promise of the future.
Protecting the young, teaching the
young to survive are elemental
expressions of love." -The Last
Cracker Barrel" by Ernest Lyons
