While spaying one of the female cats, the doc- tor found an infection and four kittens dead inside of her. If he hadn't come across this infection she would have been dead in a matter of weeks. Shelter fills animal needs By Kristin Hunter A lot goes into keeping an animal shelter running properly and the staff at the Caloosa Humane Society was hard at work recently, spaying and neu- tering cats and dogs while car- ing for all the other animals. Dr. Elton Gissendanner is the man in charge when it comes to get- ting this job done. He does about 60 surgeries per month at the Caloosa Humane Society alone: 30 each day, twice a month. On Friday, August 11, he and the staff worked vigor- ously to spay and neuter 26 dogs and 18 cats. While the doc does the sur- geries, a lot more work that goes on. Suzanne Bonnell supervises and helps him with tasks like securing the animals to the table and adjusting their gas and oxygen. Jennifer Mar- tinez gives the animals tranquil- izers and Dawn Gervickas shaves: them in preparation for surgery. Volunteer Aurielle Schock was cleaning their ears after surgery. The doc said that in a regular animal hospital the doctors wouldn't even think about doing that many surger- ies in a day, but time means money and that is something they don't have a lot of at the Humane Society so there is just no other option. The shelter has four full time staff members: Robin Zimmer- man is at the front desk, Suzanne Bonnell is the shelter director, Jennifer Martinez, is the kennel supervisor and Dawn Gervickas helps assist. In the middle of all the sur- geries a 15-year-old golden retriever came in who had carci- See Vet Page 2 The Humane Society just received a horse named Blaze who is a two and a half year old stud. They are now accepting applications for Blaze to find a new home. He is a very friendly horse and is good around the other dogs and cats at the shelter. The committee normally meets the first Monday of the month, but with Labor Day falling the firstweek of September next month's meeting has been sched- uled for Monday, September 11. Meetings are at 6 p.m. in the com- missioners' room at LaBelle City Hall. Everyone is welcome.

Lucretia Strickland is SCF Chairman once again. Range security is discussed By Nicole Curry Clewiston News CLEWISTON Hendry County Sheriff Ronnie Lee asked county officials to consider allow- ing one of his deputies to live at the gun range in Pioneer free of charge in exchange for his guard- ing the property after hours. Sheriff Lee said security, is needed on the property at all times because it is isolated and made his case at the Hendry County Commission meeting on August 11 in Clewiston. For security reasons, a deputy of the sheriff's department volun- teered to relocate from his home to a mobile home on the gun range. A police unit on the proper- ty is positioned for all to see, a deterrent to would-be trespassers - if someone decided to break the laws of the gun range, the sher- iff thought, seeing a patrol car would scare them away. Now, the deputy is being asked to pay rent of $600 a month to live in the mobile home. Sheriff Lee suggested that the county allow the deputy to live on the land rent-free because it direct- ly benefits the county. SheriffLee's attorney told the board that the deputy had relocated to the gun range simply because of a request to enhance security on the proper- ty. The sheriff's department, he said, will be responsible for over- seeing his overtime hours and will pay the deputy time and a half.for any overtime accrued while pro- tecting the property against loiter- ers, vandals or people who tried to use the gun range while closed. The sheriff's department currently deducts the cost of the mobile home from the deputy's pay- check In response, county officials were concerned with the proposal - though not completely against the concept and whether or not it was okay to let the deputy live at the property for free. No solution was agreed upon for this problem during the meet- ing, but the county attorney and Sheriff Lee's attorney are expected to meet at a later date to discuss a plan that will be of use to the sher- iff's office and not break any feder- allaws. Motorcycle test available here Perhaps it's the rising price of gas or just the freedom of the roads calling, but drive down the road any road and you will see more and more motor- cycles. Bikers will tell you it's a great way to travel, but it does call for some special training. Bikers also need a special endorsement on their driver's license to operate a motorcycle legally. For the past year, Naples Motorcycle Riding School, Inc., has helped local riders get that endorsement right here in LaBelle. The Driver's License Bureau in Hendry County does not offer the test; and there is no place in Glades County to get it either so the closest places to get the endorsement are in Fort Myers or Sebring. Even there, the test is only offered sporadically. So, the folks at Naples Motorcycle Riding School got with Rev. Frank Deerey at First Baptist Church, who allows them to use the church parking lot for testing. Ron Kerlin, a licensed examiner with Naples Motorcycle Riding School, said the parking lot is a great place to do the testing because it is an unobstructed paved area with enough space 120'x60'. Rid- ers 21 years of age and older can simply take the test; but those under 21 are required to take the full three-day course offered at the school, which is located at the Collier County Fairgrounds on Immokalee Road. Classes are held Thurs- days from 6-9 p.m., all day Sat- urday and Sunday till noon. The school even provides a motorcycle to take the test. Ron said motorcycle riding is becoming very popular partic- ularly with the ladies now. Most recently Carl Manning of Muse got his motorcycle endorsement, running through the course at First Baptist Church without a hitch.

Hours later, police located a sus- pect, who fled from them when he was spotted. When cornered, the man shot himself in the head with a gun; a woman with him was arrested moments later. The murder victims have been identified as Joey Glenn Whitaker 52, Carolyn Cox Whitak- er, 53, and Myrtle Lee Cox, 80. According to Police Chief Don Gutshall, Tuesday morning's discov- ery is the first triple murder in the city's history. The last murder in Clewiston was in 2002. According to information provid- ed by the police department, the call came in to the station at approxi- mately 11:30 a.m. that three bodies had been found.at the te idence. 1 nvestgators conacred the Flond.i Department of Law Enforcement (fDLE) otlake on etheTr .bgan on FDLE agents had not released information on the exact cause of death at press time on Wednesday. There was no visible trauma on the bodies when officials first arrived at the residence, according to the FDLE report. On Tuesday, Wayne Whitaker, Joey's brother, sat inside his pick-up truck at the corner of the street, wait- ing for news about his family. In the afternoon, agents had not yet filled him in any details. According to Mr Whitaker, his brother lived at.the home for many years with his wife, Carolyn, 53, and her mother, Myrtle Lee Cox, 80.Joey suffered from heart troubles, Mr. Whitaker said. He said his brother's black truck was miss- ing and said agents were working on a court order to request its location from OnStar, the GPS system installed in the truck. Shortly after 5:15 p.m., FDLE agents and Semi- nole Police located the missing vehi- cle on Big Cypress Indian Reserva- tion. The driver led officers in a low- speed pursuit, before ramming into two police cruisers. According to the FDLE report, as police demanded the suspect exit the vehicle, he shot himself in the head. Authorities retrieved the gun and arrested the female passenger. According to the Hendry County Jail, the female suspect, Ruby Yolan- da Parker, 31, is charged with three counts of felony capital murder. According to the FDLE report, the murders were apparently con- nected to a robbery. Earlier on Tuesday, at Platter's Chevrolet in Belle Glade, Carolyn Whitaker's co-workers grew con- cerned when she didn't show up for work in the morning. Thinking that Joey may have grown ill, they failed to contact Carolyn by Nextel. Apparently, according to co- workers, the last contact Joey's daughters had with him was the pre- vious night, when they called and talkedto a man who they did not kno\\ He idennficd himnselfas a for- mer EMS worker and said he was a friend of the family."".. According to Chief Gutshall, one of the suspects had had a casual rela- tionship with the victims. He declined to release any more infor- mation. According to the Pearl River County Sheriff, Parker is also regis- tered as a missing person from Poplarville, Miss. Sources say Parker was last seen with Richard Harker. Harker, 35, according to Detective Christa Ben- nett from Mississippi, has a criminal record, including arrests in Orange County and Lake County. He was arrested in 1991 on charges of sec- ond degree murder and was released in 2002. Parker's criminal record reveals only a speeding ticket. Hark- erhas an address in Clewiston. Detective Bennett confirmed that Parker was the same person arrested in Florida.

On top of this cage was a plastic bag of soaking wet cat food and a dripping wet note. Inside this small animal carrier were two scared kittens, standing in two inches of water at the bottom of their carrier. Staffer Jennifer Mar- tinez said, "Those two kitties were not happy about being wet, espe- cially for up to 20 hours! We are only closed on Sunday and Mon- day, they should have brought them in while we were open." The note left with these two kit- ties described each and the fact that it likes to play and sleep in the bed, then it went on to say the cats were sisters and that the person leaving them hoped that we could find them a home. It was signed, "Love, N. C., N. L." This is not a legal release of ownership. The find is something that does- n't surprise the staff; it's the total disregard for the animal's welfare and comfort. Some dogs have been found tied to the fence or a vehicle in the back parking area. A few times they have even found the remnants of ropes that had been chewed through by the helpless animal left tied to the other end. Cats are left here in carriers, open boxes or just left at the door with a pan of food in the apparent hope that they will wait patiently at the door for staff to come to work and find them. "We have found puppies and kittens in the road nearby and a pan of food at our door. You put 2 and 2 together and you can sur- mise that the poor animal laying UC I U i Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Suzanne Bonnell Two sad little kittens were left outside the Caloosa Humane Society in a soaking rain. dead in the street had been left at our door while we were closed. It is very sad." says Director Suzanne Bonnell. Two weeks ago, there was a meowing in the brush on the air- port property next door; yet anoth- er baby kitten that had been left in the parking lot even though there were carriers just a few feet away. Suzanne said, "The animals cannot be left at the building while we are closed. We have our busi- ness hours at the front door, clearly visible." The humane society must send the animals to Animal Control. After it has been with Animal Con- trol for five business days, they may or may not be brought over to the Humane Society for adoption. "I am sure that is not what the intentions are of the pet owners when they leave them in our park- ing lot, but, legally, we cannot take them unless we have an owner sign them over."

I'm very concerned about the new Nobles Road, the way the curve turns into Nobles Road. People drive really fast and I think some kind of law should be hiding there to stop them. People speeding and drunk driving in the middle of the road make it impossible to make that turn. It's really dan- gerous and people may die. Children walk along the side of the road and old people do, too. I'm just concerned and wonder if the cops can help out by keeping an eye on drunk people or people that just don't know how to drive. Thankyou. Speaking for myself and mymom that used to work at the Ortona Store (for people that may not know) when I was just a little girl my step-mom used to work there also and she would take me to work with her I'm now 28 years old that should tell you how long I've been in that store. When I was a teenager my mom started working there as night cashier, working her way up to manager. My mom always did her best, getting what people wanted or needed. We always worked our best. Of course, we had people that gave us problems once in a while, thinking they could get something for nothing, forgetting my mom was just a manager not the owner. But things like that don'tjust happen in Ortona. We may have had a few bad apples but there were a lot more good ones. We will miss all the jokes, all the laughs we had with the customers. We may have been smiling, others may have been frowning. Some may miss us and some may not. But who in this world doesn't have a bad day once in awhile? For me and my mom we want to say thank you to everyone that allowed us to serve them and we will miss each and every one of you. We will miss working at the store, but God only knows everything happens for some rea- son. It was time for us to move on and we are happy and doing just fine. Thank you.

Chamber SThoughts ocs '~-. g. t' D"* ~4~ Now that the weather has reached above 90 most of your plants will at some point become stressed. Things to remember: first if your plants look wilted but the soil around them is damp, DO NOT WATER!! The wilting could be coming from the heat and too much water. This is a mistake com- monly made with plants in the ground. Plants in pots, however, may need water, especially the plants in the black nursery pots. Always check before you give your plants a drink. Bougainvillea love thishpot weather, not the rain. Normally the higher and drier you can plant these beauties the betteroff you will be. This time of year they may be on a growing spurt and you may want to trim them regularly. Just. remember the color comes from the bracks on the end of the branches, so the more you trim, the more color you cut off! "In all things of nature there is something marvelous."

Chairman Joe Smyth President Ed Dulin Vice President or Florida Operations Tom Byrd Executive Editor Katrina Elsken Florida Department of Agri- culture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bron- son announced a program that will help people who own forest land to manage that resource. Sign up for enrollment in the For- est Land Enhancement Program (FLEP) through September 15. This program, authorized under the 2002 Farm Bill, is available to non-industrial private forest landowners on a 75-25 cost share basis for most practices. Eligible practices include, but are not limited to: site preparation, tree planting, and prescribed burning activities. Landowners who own at least 10 acres but no more that 10,000 acres of land who have a multiple-resource practice plan will be eligible to receive funding assistance under FLEP A maximum of $10,000 will be available for each qualify- ing landowner over the life of the Program as reimbursement for incurred expenses for approved practices. Almost half of the state's 14 million acres of forestland is owned by private non-industrial forest landowners. According to national, regional and statewide landowner surveys, most forest landowners don't have a manage- ment plan for their property. The state's allocation under the pro- gram will be used for implemen- tation of forest practices pre- scribed in existing or newly developed management plans. Landowners can obtain appli- cation forms from their local Division of Forestry office and from other cooperating agencies. The Division of Forestry's foresters will provide technical assistance to landowners and will be the local contact person for participating landowners. For more information, contact David Smith, Program Manager (850) 414-9907 or Bonnie Stine, CFA Supervisor, (850) 414-9912 both in Tallahassee, or your local County Forester who can be located at www.fl-dof.com. Caloosa Belle, Thursday, August 17, 2006 Letters to the Editor Mr. Kenneth Curtis: Celebration of life Hendry County has been very fortunate to have living within its community a very benevolent man, Mr. Kenneth Curtis. It is with great sorrow that we learn of his passing. However; it is really a time for a cel- ebration of the life of a man who had the privilege of living more than 100 years. This is an accom- plishment that comes to few. He will be missed but long remem- bered. The Edison College Campus that is planned for LaBelle will bear his name and will be there for all to see for many years to come.

Bengston, Thank you for your consideration nt Malcom of this important matter. Please imissioner make a copy of this letter for all aring their county commissioners. historical Respectfully, 's current Eastside Baptist Church Hendry: It's the heart that counts How significant can events) be that circumstantially, with no plan- ning, come together in one fell swoop over a short period of time. What I'm referring to is that a few weeks ago I decided to start a series of articles focusing on what I thought were the strengths and underlying unique capabilities and characteristics setting Hendry Coun- ty aside from its neighboring coun- ties. Before going into the events of just this past week that catalyzed, beyond my wildest expectations, these significant events, I want to point out the major role that the Caloosa Belle, under the leadership of editor, Patty Brant has brought to the county. Her sense of community is the defining factor. She steadfastly con- tinues to avoid tabloid generation and insists on emphasizing the posi- tive, negating the negative and reporting not making or editorializ- ing, letting the news stand on the facts, not on her interpretations. I spoke of those events of the past week, one of which was the loss of Hendry County's best friend and benefactor, Kenneth John Curtis. He ledby example and left a rich her- itage of w ords supported by actions that many generations have and will continue to draw substance and encouragement from. I will be mentioning, over and over again, that the people of Hendry County are its strength and hold the key in supporting Patty Brant in keeping Hendry County a community in the true sense of the word, rather than fall victim to the inroads of "Developmentitis. Some time ago your editor start- ed a feature called, "It's Your World. Get involved." Five simply directed words that, if implemented, can and will support your editor's commit- It's your world Get InvolvedU ment to your well being in your com- munity. The article by Sandra Goodwin thanking the HCSO and a neighbor, Felicia, in attending to her 92-year- old mother's emergency would probably go unnoticed in another county, but not in Hendry. Ms. Goodwin didn't say where she resides, only that it is over several thousand miles away. How fortunate a decision it is to have her mother benefit from Hendry's community values. Your editor also started a feature under the title of "Tower Talk," which'this week featured the ques- tion from veteran school teachers, "How have you changed your teach- ing technique in recent years?" Four teachers, with over 72 total classroom years, who perform at the kindergarten, third, fourth and librarian/learing center level, can- didly provided insight into another resource of the community. How your children, the future of any com-, munity, are being prepared to con- tinue providing the backbone for the future of the community. Not to be forgotten was the story: of an unsung American hero, "The Gunner", Raymond Bost, now proudly answering to the alias of: "The Ding-a-ling Man." At the age of 92, with a WW II record of Naval military service, multiple major, wounds and a tragic succession of family deaths with him as the lone survivor, serve as a punctuation point to your editor's dedication and. attention to all ages and facets of the heart and minds of Hendry County,.

Mel Greenleaf :has coached for 10 years and says, "I've kept the suc- cessful and productive and changed or gotten rid of what didn't work." He said, "It is important to adapt, impro- vise and overcome." David Kelley has coached for 18 years and says, "You get used to the cycle that team's go through. At first they are excit- ed and then you have to find ways to keep them motivated. Kids aren't like they were 20 years ago. You have to motivate kids to play sports now because we have become lazy as a society. There are more things to do. You also don't make as many cuts as you used to. You have to be more of a parent and "house break them. There seems to be a big lack of motiva- ,1t ':, tion mentally and physically. They aren't as tough and aren't as responsible as they used to be. It's more like recreation sports nowadays." Russell Bell has coached for many years and said, "I've had to adjust Switch the change of time. You have to change techniques to keep pace with the defenses that are coming UH'e up. I'm a little bit more patient now. X I try to look at things through the S'i perspective of a player. You have to .. ... know when to give a player a pat on r'^ iF the back and when to yell." Craig Davidson said, "You have to adapt to the kids. They are different now than they were 20 years ago. I have a little bit different philosophy now. We were a lot harder on kids H H 10-15 years ago. We had 107 kids in the spring, now we have 51 kids this year. There aren't many kids playing any more for whatever reason. Foot- ball is a tougher game now than it used to be. The game has changed. It is a more complex game now. Offense has changed. It is more ver- satile now." Raymond Marroquin has also coached for many years and said, "The evolution of the game is that there is more technology now so there is less time spent practicing. SYou really need to play all year long because it's so easy to get behind. The work ethic of the individual is really important but that seems to have depleted somewhat. There's not Sas much off-time practice going on, but there are a lot more offenses and defenses, so while the game has become more complex, the practice time has become less."

Tak the Colorado Rockies. In lateJune of the 2006 season, after 64 games, the Rockies were 32-32. Nothing special about that except that they got there by going 16-16 at home and 16-16 on the road. Then there were the Houston Astros. A couple of weeks into the '06 season, the Astros played the 7,014th game in team history, which they won, bringing their all-time record to 3,507 wins and 3,507 losses. The last time the franchise was exactly at .500 was 12 games into their inaugural sea- son of 1962, when they stood 6-6. I Boston slugger David Ortiz is trying to complete a third consecutive season in which he cracks at least 41 home runs and drives in at least 139 runs, having done so in 2004 and again in 2005. Who were the only two other players in I major league history to at least match I those numbers for three straight sea- I sons? It's no surprise that one is Babe Ruth, who did itfor an amazing six sea- I sons in a row (1926 through '31). But you might not guess that the other was I Ken GriffeyJr., from 1996 through 1998. I I Here is yet another incident to file under the heading of crazed European I soccer fans. The Italian team Inter I Milan was upset by Villareal in April of I 2006, which eliminated them from the European Champions League tide. Fans I came to the airport to welcome the team I home but not with cheers. The players I were showered with insults, and several fans turned violent. Midfielder Cristiano Zanetti suffered a bruised head, and two policemen who tried to protect the players were injured. *I I'll bet you didn't know, coming or going, that when the rubber hits the road, you can't afford not to buy from Langford. LANGFORD ralSpoikenHeri" 675-1686 -i m -m - .dl cifl 8 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, August 17,2006 Dr. Moore now at LHS, back from retirement Dr. Jeff Moore is back from retirement as the longtime band director at LMS. He is now teach- ing at LHS as a llth and 12th grade science teacher. He is teaching a course called Integrat- ed Science. He said, "The pur- pose of this course is to provide opportunities to investigate the theories associated with the bio- logical, earth and physical sci- ences in a way that is relevant and usable." Dr. Moore has been sailing his whole life, so for the past two years he has had the opportunity to sail as a professional sailor as the captain of a 150 ft. sailboat in Chicago and in the Abaco Island, Bahamas on a 47 ft. sailboat cetch named "Osprey." Dr. Moore said, "After sailing for two years, I realized how much I missed teaching. As much fun as it was sailing, it got kind of limiting living on a boat, so I called Scott Cooper and asked if there was anything available that I could do to help." Dr. Moore is teaching science but when asked if he would help out with band he said, "If they want me to help, I would be more than happy to." Although Dr. Moore has a BA MFA and a Doc- torate in Music, he has always been interested in and enjoyed science/physics. He has a scuba license, as well as a pilot's license and a motorcycle license, so although he has enjoyed sci- ence/physics to the fullest, this will be the first time he's taught science formally. Dr. Moore said, "I drive past several dozen schools on my way to LaBelle from Cape Coral, but I'd rather teach in LaBelle schools because there's more of a community feeling in LaBelle." He said he is looking forward to a great year and the journey that lies ahead and adds that, "Teach- ing is the triumph of hope over experience." Save money on your Favorite grocery items.

The 15th annual event will take place Wednesday, Aug. 23, at 6 p.m. at the Harbor- side Event Center in downtown Fort Myers. 'The banquet, spon- sored by the LaBelle-based GCGA, is a highlight of the two-day Citrus Expo, which is set for Aug. 23-24 at the Lee Civic Center in Fort Myers. The banquet's keynote speaker will be Congressman Mark Foley, who will discuss the latest infor- mation from Congress on topical agriculture- and citrus-related issues in Florida. Foley is serving his sixth term as the United States Representative from Florida's 16th Congressional District. Long a major supporter of the Florida cit- rus industry, he currently serves on the Ways and Means Committee. In addition, Charles Bronson, Commissioner of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, will offer an update on Florida agriculture and the state's citrus news. "We are pleased to have Con- gressman Foley as the keynote speaker at our banquet," says Ron Hamel, executive vice president of the GCGA. "The GCGA banquet has become one of the Florida cit- rus industry's most prestigious events 450-plus growers and leaders from throughout the state will attend-and to have one of Florida's most prominent elected officials participating is exception- al." The event will be emceed by Dallas Townsend, extension agent IV emeritus at the UF/IFAS Hendry County Cooperative Extension Service in LaBelle. The evening will also include the latest promotional campaigns of the Florida Department of Cit- rus and a celebration of the GCGA's 20-year anniversary. Hendry Regional Medical Center's operating room staff. HRMC gets state-or-art equipment to expand its operating room With video technology being the trend in today's environment, Hendry Regional Medical Center has purchased several new pieces of equipment to perform upper and lower endoscopic procedures. One component of the new equip- ment has video capacities, provid- ing clearer, and more detailed images, which allow the doctor and the OR staff to look for abnor- malities and also to take pictures simultaneously. The two tests, upper and lower endoscopies, are significantly dif- ferent, but there has been much improvement, especially in the patient's comfort. Depending on your doctor and on your capability ofbemg seate'd, today the' 0 ro' cedures are as easy as getting a haircut (well, not quite). The upper endoscopy consists of the doctor inserting a tube down your throat and snaking it through your upper digestive sys- tem; esophagus, stomach and jejunum. The procedure might be used to discover the reason for swallowing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, reflux, bleeding, indi- gestion, abdominal pain or chest pain. The lower endoscopy (colonoscopy) requires that a tube be placed into the rectum to pro- duce images of the colon (large intestine) from the lowest part, the rectum, all the way to the lower end of the small intestine and display them on a screen. The procedure is typically requested when a patient has unexplained changes in bowel habits. A colonoscopy can diagnose colon and bowel disease, including polyps, diverticulosis and cancer. If you're interested in schedul- ing, please contact your family physician or call Dr. Jesse Eisen- man for an appointment at 863- 983-8704. Farmers reduce pollutants Florida sugar farmers significant- ly reduced phosphorus levels in the water leaving their farms despite greatly increased phosphorus levels in water flowing to the farms from Lake Okeechobee and a second straight year of hurricane flooding. According to recent South Flori- da Water Management District reports, farmers reduced phospho- rus levels by 44 percent for the year. State law requires farmers in the Everglades Agricultural Area to achieve 25 percent reductions in phosphorus through a series of soil and water management techniques. "We are extremely proud that our program of Best Management Practices (BMPs) continued to reduce phosphorus levels," said Judy Sanchez, Director of Corporate Communications.. "With 11 years of success, the 44 percent reduction is even more satisfying when we look at the poor water quality flow- ing from Lake Okeechobee." Ms. Sanchez said farmers are fighting a trend of having increasing- ly nutrient laden irrigation water flowing onto their farms from Lake Okeechobee. Water from Lake Okeechobee averaged 247 ppb this- year compared to a base level of 80 ppb when the program began. The farmers did such an excellent job that this year water came onto the farms at 247 ppb and left the farm at 119 ppb. "While water quality issues in Lake Okeechobee have been exacer- bated by the hurricanes, phospho- rus levels in the lake have been going up every year since 1974," Ms. Sanchez said. "We hope that the projects to clean and store water north of the Lake come on line quickly so that all of the restoration efforts south of Lake Okeechobee are not jeopardized." "Farmers and Floridians can be proud of the success of these restoration efforts, but we all need to support the State's efforts to pro- vide similar storage and treatment areas in other parts of the system," said Robert Coker, Senior Vice Presi- dent, Public Affairs.

FEMA offers tips on hurricane preparedness The U.S. Department of Home- land Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reminds residents of hurricane- prone areas to prepare even though fewer storms are now pre- dicted for the 2006 season. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that it expects seven to nine hurricanes this year, a decrease from earlier estimates. The hurricane season, which began June 1, ends Novem- ber 30. So far this year, NOAA says there have been three named storms, but no hurricanes. "This is not a time to be com- placent. It only takes one storm. People still need to develop family disaster plans and compile kits with necessary supplies to last three days," FEMA Director David Paulison said, "They also should stay informed about local weather conditions and pay attention to emergency information from local and state officials." FEMA recommends taking these steps to prepare for hurri- canes: S* Develop a family disaster plan and know how to stay safe in Randy's Garage, Inc.

Discuss what your family should do when a hurricane comes ashore and where you might go in an evacuation to a shelter, hotel or to stay with family or friends. Don't forget about pets. Many shelters will not permit them, so plan in advance what to do with them. Know and review your evacu- ation routes and never drive through high water. Develop a family communi- cation plan. Identify a friend or rel- ative in another state or city to serve as a point of contact in case family members are separated. Put together a disaster kit and store it in a portable container in case of evacuation. The kit should include: At least a three-day supply of food and bottled water for each family member; Battery-powered radio and flashlights with extra batteries; First aid kit with family mem- bers' medications; A manual can opener; Emergency contact list and phone numbers; Hygiene and personal care items; Pet supplies; Copies of important papers and Emergency cash or credit card in the case of an evacuation with little notice: FEMA manages federal response and recovery efforts fol- lowing any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitigation activities, works with state and local emergency managers, and manages the National Flood Insur- ance Program.

For instance, "Duke" a nine- year-old Great Dane has made lots of friends in the past several months. The 120-pound "baby" volunteers some of his time twice a week to visit friends at Oakbrook. Duke really "puts on the dog" when he comes to visit getting into the spirit of the week's activi- ties and dressing up for the theme. Recently he showed up as a clown, another time as a Hound dog, in honor of Elvis week. At nine, Duke is a "senior citi- zen" himself so he has a lot in com- mon with his friends at Oakbrook, including the aches and pains of arthritis, but his gentle nature ensures that he always puts his best paw forward. For their part, the residents Respond to Duke with as much love She brings them. Even Oakbrook's President cat can't get his hackles up. Owner Sharon LeDuc says these - visits mean a lot to Duke, too. He knows when she's getting ready to head over to Oakbrook on Tues- Sdays and Fridays and his excite- - ment shows. Sharon and Alexander "Duke" " LeDuc have raised Great Danes in Sthe past and when they retired they Decided they needed another one. Still, they weren't prepared for the exuberance of a puppy, so they checked on line with Southwest i , Marine, Inc.

Great Dane Rescue and found Duke. His retired owners, Craig and Holly Woodson, had to move from Minnesota to a condominium in Sarasota, and were looking for a good home for him. Sharon credits the Woodsons with forming Duke's extraordinarily gentle and giving character. The Woodsons still come to visit Duke when they can. Sharon said she worked in nurs- ing homes for many years, so the idea of introducing Duke to Oak- brook residents was a natural. The residents look forward to his visits and call him by name. One resi- dent, Edie Andrews, always has a treat ready for Duke when he comes calling. Of course, many of the residents have a big hug ready as well. When Duke comes calling, everybody gets their share of atten- tion. Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Sharon LeDuc Oakbrook resident Edie Andrews gives Duke the Great Dane a hug and a smile to match his great big heart. Oakbrook residents Mrs. Vaughn and Mr. Powell spend some quality time with Duke. Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Kim Marroquin Dixie League All Stars The 2006 LaBelle Dixie League Softball Team would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in making it possible for the team to go to the State Championship Tournament In Ocala. They would like to thank the surrounding communities for the financial support and the local businesses for donating the sup- plies for the car wash and BBQ, and for waters and Gatorades for the tournament. Without the support of the community they would not have been able to par- ticipate. They would like to offer special thanks to the coaches and parents for their time and effort.

Tillery's book will help you survive Florida's wilder- ness. Surviving the Wilds of Florida A man who has a passion for out- door adventuring, for enjoying most anything and everything that comes under the heading of wild and won- derful....has written a book titled "Surviving The Wilds Of Florida".He is Reid E Tillery of Melrose; Florida. He writes: Florida is a beautiful state with vast wild areas that beck- on to be explored. But to safely enjoy any wilderness setting you must know how to provide for your own well-being, as well as your compan-. ions. Reid is a seasoned outdoors- man, a search-and-rescue techni- - an, a licensed ham radio operator a former army medic, and a former emergency medical technician. Hav- ing had vast experience iall these :fields, he is qualified, perhaps over qualified! to writesuchabook.' He points out that like most adventures; some can be dangerous. Anyone venturing into the wilds must be aware of the danger and act with due caution and prudence. And he further points out that sometimes even our own backyardss" can be dangerous, that is when one encounters a snake, a rabid raccoon, or even the Brazilian pepper com- monly calledFlorida holly (Schinus' terebrinthifolius). He tells us what to do when coming in contact with poi- son Sumac (Toxicodenron vernix), a relative of poison ivy. These plants are pictured in color which serves as an identification guide. He describes these animals and plants extensively and spells out what do upon con- tact. And there are those around who have a notion that building a slanted A-frame shelter for a camp-out would be a great week-end project. Well, it's not as difficult as it may sound; however, there are rules/instructions in this book that will assure success. With palm fronds readily available in most areas, materials will be mostly no- cost. Finding Your Way Without A Compass is detailed and so is Find- ingYour WayWithoutAMap. Reid emphasizes that Wildlife Awareness is of the utmost impor- tance. In this chapter, he writes about the American alligator first, which he says, may be the most prominent symbol of Florida today. Alligators are found throughout the state and are more plentiful now than few decades ago. At one time, their populations were so thinned out by hide hunters it became neces- sary to enact laws to protect them. Now gators have made a significant comeback. Today there are an estimated one million gators in Florida. But in increasingly more people and more gators, the inci- dences of gator attacks in Florida have gone up dramatically. Several pages are devoted to common sense "what to do" and "what not to do" when it comes to alligators. (Pages 133,134,137) These arejust fractions of this 10- chapter how-to book on surviving and enjoying the wilds of Florida. Reid Tillery has done an extraordi- nary job of research which is evident on every page. The illustrations are in color except for diagrams, maps etc. Under Priorities of Wilderness Survival, he writes: You don't have to be in a full-blown survival situation to benefit from this information. Even an ordinary wilderness experi- ence continually presents small sur- vival challenges. Understanding the potential seriousness of and treating simple chills, for example, can word off deadly hypothermia; wearing proper protective clothing and drinking adequate amounts of hydrating liquids can help prevent a heat-related illness; a proficiency with backwoods communications can turn a potential tragedy into a slight inconvenience. "Surviving the Wilds of Florida" can lead to greater enjoyment of your wilderness oi even common outdoor adventures and help brig you home safely every time.

Una semana despues de que la organizacio para ancianos Conec- cion Para Pensionados (Senior Connection) perdiera el contrato para proveer servicios en los Con- dados Hendry y Glades los cam- bios se hacen evidentes. La organi- zacion perdio el contrato porque estuvo tarde con la.documentacion requerida ademas de que tuvo muchos problems en dar servicios despues de los dos ultimos hura- canes. Otra organization que se llama Conecciones Esperanza (Hope Connections) queria usar su edificiQ pero ellos pero no lo permi- tieron. Sin embargo cuando la Coneccion Esperanza comenzo a repartir comidas en las casas de sus clients anteriores los de Conec- cion Para Pensionados dijeron que el servicio no habia sido eficiente. La Director de Esperanza admitio que no se habian preparado bien para dar el servicio pero que con- tinuaran haciendolo de manera mas efectiva. Qince empleados que trabaja- ban con la organization anterior trabajan ahora con Esperanza, pronto tendran su propio edificio y podran tender a los ancianos de Clewiston y Moore Haven.'Debido a regulaciones con los fondos fed-' erales Coneccion Para Pensionados tendra el edificio por dos anos y medio por lo tanto todavia tendra que prestar servicios a los ancianos.. Conneccion Esperanza espera su Ilamada. Se dan servicios de enfermena, \iitas dal hogar, conse- jos y asistencia. 1-866-659-7223 Tienda Nueva Amanda Nelson native de La Belle y maestra de Kinder abrio una tienda con articulos escolares.

The flagship proj- ect of the state's Acceler8 initiative to fast-track eight key restoration projects, the reservoir will provide a new option for redirecting and storing Lake Okeechobee water releases-reducing harmful dis- charges to coastal estuaries. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pre- sented the federal permit, which authorizes the South Florida Water Management District to build the EAA Reservoir south of Lake Okee- chobee, at the Governing Board meeting in Miami. "By acquiring this permit and beginning construction, Florida is keeping its promise to restore the famed River of Grass and protect Florida's estuaries," Florida Department of Environmental Pro- tection Secretary Colleen Castille said. "Water storage is a key ele- ment to the restoration process, not only for controlling water releases but also for flood protec- tion and wildlife habitat restora- tion." The EAA Reservoir will be con- structed on a 16,700-acre parcel in western Palm Beach County, just west of US 27. When complete, the aboveground structure will store up to 190,000 acre-feet of water, or 62 billion gallons of water. The reservoir will also improve operational flexibility for moving water within the EAA, opti- mizing water flows into stormwa- ter treatment areas. Other project benefits include storage of stormwater runoff in the EAA, additional water to meet Ever- glades water needs and improved regional flood protection. Kevin McCarty, Chairman of the South Florida Water Manage- ment District Governing Board, received the required construction permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. "This permit is vital to our envi- ronmental restoration progress," McCarty said. "The planning, engi- neering design and agency coordi- nation needed has been enor- mous, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. We are ready to start building." State legislators, county com- missioners, representatives of fed- eral/state/local agencies and other organizations were also on hand to witness the presentation. "Granting this permit is a vital step forward for restoring and pro- tecting our estuaries," said Michael DiTerlizzi, Vice Chairman of the Martin County Board of Commissioners. "These waterways are the lifeblood of our communi- ties." Tammy Hall, Chairwoman of the Lee County Board of Commis- sioners, agreed. "We strongly sup- port any project that will provide additional storage opportunities for Lake Okeechobee water," she said. "We depend on the estuaries for our environmental and eco- nomic health." Construction will be managed by a joint venture of Barnard Con- struction Company, Inc., and Par- sons Water & Infrastructure, Inc. The $400 million contract was awarded to Barard-Parsons earlier this summer. Groundbreaking is scheduled for next month. Announced by Governor Jeb Bush in October 2004, Acceler8 is stepping up the pace for funding, design and construction to com- plete eight critical Everglades restoration projects over seven years. At substantial savings to tax- payers, the projects will restore 100,000 acres of wetlands, expand water treatment areas by close to 29,000 acres and provide 428,000 acre-feet of additional water stor- age for Everglades restoration a decade ahead of schedule. Under the leadership of Gover- nor Bush, Florida has forged ahead to implement the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan with an investment of $1.3 billion and a commitment for an additional $3.2 billion through the end of the decade to clean up and restore the famed River of Grass.

Stormwater treatment area open alligator hunters With only their dark snouts and heads visible above the waterline, American alligators often manage to elude even the most dedicated daylight observers. It's a different story at night when the reptiles' glowing yellow eyes easily reflect the glare of a high-powered spot- light. Soon, that knowledge will be put to use by hunters as they spread out across Florida's marsh- es and lakes to take thousands of alligators for meat, hides and tro- phies. For the first time, 50 of those hunters have the opportunity to test their skills in STA-5 in Hendry County, an 8-square-mile stormwa- ter treatment area created by the South Florida Water Management District as part of the Everglades restoration effort. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will let hunters take 100 alligators out of STA-5 over nine weekends in August, September and October. A small percentage of the abundant aquatic-loving lizards, about 1 mil- lion can be found statewide, are hunted annually following regula- tions set and monitored by the FWC. The District's stormwater treat- ment area is one of four new land areas approved for alligator hunt- Sing by the FWC this year, said Jen Williams, public hunt area biolo- gist for the FWC's south region. The District agreed to open the wetland area as part of its continu- ing commitment to broaden land access for public recreation, said Fred Davis, Division Director for Land Stewardship. For the last few years, the Dis- trict has welcomed hikers, bird watchers and duck hunters in the wetland southwest of Clewiston off Blumberg Road. There are plans to add public restrooms and a parking area on site in 2007. There are also boat ramps at STA-5, an area designated by the FWC as alligator harvest unit 406, but hunters aren't allowed to use motorized boats at the site to help them capture and kill alligators. Alligators can be hunted on foot from the levee banks or from boats that can be paddled or poled. The boating restriction is designed to prevent motors from stirring up phosphorus in the stormwater treatment area. Stormwater treatment areas are constructed wetlands designed to reduce levels of the growth-stimu- lating nutrient in surface water flowing into the Everglades. High levels of phosphorus encourage the overgrowth of non-native species, altering habitat for Florida's native plant and animal life. Alligator hunting in STA-5 is scheduled on Friday and Saturday evenings of Aug. 18 and 19, Aug. 25 and 26, Sept. 1 and 2, Sept. 8 and 9, Sept. 15 and 16, and on Oct. 6 and 7. Hunters with permits to take alligators from STA5, but who didn't capture their limit of two alligators, can try again Friday and Saturday evenings of Oct. 13 and 14, Oct. 20 and 21, and Oct. 27 and 28. Camping is not allowed in the stormwater treatment area.
