SCF for 2007


Believe it or not, planning for
the 2007 Swamp Cabbage Festival
has rolled around already! The
festival will be held February 22-
24 the last full weekend in Feb-
ruary-with the bigparade on Sat-
urday, Feb. 23, followed by a full
day of activities.
,The first step in planning is
ala)ys deciding on a theme and
poster. At this time, only one
theme has been suggested: "It All
Started with a Seed." The SCF
Committee will choose the theme
and poster, which must reflect
that theme, at its meeting next
month, Use your artistic skills to
roll your theme and poster ideas
together. Remember, the poster
has to include the words "Swamp
Cabbage Festival, February 22-24,
LaBelle, Florida" otherwise use
your imagination. Also, remem-
ber, the poster art will be used on
the official T-shirt, so make the ar
easily transferable.


Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter
Dr. Elton Gissendanner saves a Tom Kat! 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. Please
bring a letter of nomination from
your business or civic group des-
ignating you as its voting repre-
sentative.

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. Carl

Triple murder



in Clewiston


By Ideybis Gonzalez
and Jose Zaragoza

CLEWISTON In the tradition-
ally quiet neighborhood of Avenida
Del Rio in Clewiston, at the Whitak-
er home, law enforcement agents
found one of the most disturbing
scenes in the city's history Tuesday
morning the slain bodies of the
home's three inhabitants.
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.

Don't leave critters after hours


Think of
animal's welfare

By Suzanne Bonnell
Caloosa Humane Society Director
Tuesday morning, August 8,
staff arrived to work at the Caloosa
Humane Society on Pratt Blvd. to
find a cage left at the back of the
building. 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

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."
The regular business hours are
as follows:


Tuesday open noon to 4 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday open
11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Friday are a little different. If
we are having spay neuter surgery,
we are not open for adoptions
because we do not have the staff to
work both surgery and adoptions,
however, if we are not having sur-
gery, we are open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Caloosa Humane Society staff
asks that for the welfare of the ani-
mal, please, do not leave them at
the building while we are closed.
This puts them in danger and it is
illegal!
"We desperately need security
cameras and recording equipment,
this would help us to stop this from
happening. We don't have the
money for any upgrades in our
security, though, as we are com-
pletely dependant on donations
from the public for everything we
do., If you think you can help,
please contact the shelter at 863-
675-0997.

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. Nancy andJulie

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!

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.

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. In
addition, the Isabelle Curtis
Memorial Scholarship, named in
his wife's honor, will continue to
support a postsecondary education
for LaBelle High School graduates.
Though he had no children of his
own, in a way he did by adopting
the children of LaBelle. To date
more than 1,000 students have


benefited from his largess
honor it was to know Mr
rare breed of man. Beca
generosity he will remain
factor to many and his 1
live on.

Reinstate Chief Pratt


s. What an To Whom It May Concern:
r. Curtis, a We were quite surprised to read
use of his in a recent edition of the Caloosa
in a bene- Belle the article regarding griev-
legacy will dances filed against the former fire
chief, Dwayne Pratt. Whether these
SallyBerg allegations are true or not can be
m determined by the city and county
nIplnS commissions, however, we really
want the community to become
acquainted with the Dwayne Pratt
that many of us have known and
orial page admired for twenty plus years.
lished its Over the years, Dwayne has
Lent docu- proven to be hardworking, friendly,
)sahatchee considerate and trustworthy. He
deo, titled holds positions of high responsibil-
ed by Lars ity and he shows leadership in the
l's Univer- church. Dwayne is well thought of
earlier this by the members of the church and
in LaBelle frankly, we feel that he would be an
rida water asset to any organization. Given
y features Dwayne's outstanding character
its of U.S. and his dedication and service to
.dry Coun- the fire department for the past 25
Maddox, years, we ask that the city and
county commissions consider rein-
in Ward, stating Dwayne Pratt as fire chief.
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,.
YOU the PEOPLE!

For veteran coaches
niques over the years?


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."


Thank You

Getting to .500 in baseball isn't nec-
essarily a good thing, but it can be
remarkable. 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.

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."

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.

Many newspapers aggressively push the opinions of their publishers
or corporate owners.

But we don't think it's our place to tell people what to think, or to try
to control public opinion. Our editors insist on purposeful neutrali-
ty. We try to report the news fairly and facilitate a fair but vigorous
discussion of public issues.

We are proud to be journalists, not power brokers. And we're proud
to understand the difference.

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:

Great Dane makes friends at Oakbrook


You never get too old to enjoy
the company of a great dog.
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

At nine, Duke is a "senior
citizen" himself so he has
a lot in common 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.

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.

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.

Submitted to the Caloosa Belle/Barbara Oehlbeck
Reid F. 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.

Servicios.
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

New EAA Reservoir Project gets federal approval


In another important milestone
for Everglades restoration, Florida
has received federal approval to
begin construction of a massive
reservoir in the Everglades Agricul-
tural Area (EAA). 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.

mation about alligator hunting in
