Il i Illl1 l s 16510 0001 9 1 By Patty Brant With the LaBelle water plant reaching 75 percent of its capac- ity, the city has received ques- tions from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on existing capacity and the city's utility plans for the By Patty Brant A threatened deficit in fire coverage, in both western Hendry County and the City of LaBelle was defused Friday, August 18, when the Hendi\ County corn-is Sion'rirs declared a local state of emer- gency relating to fire coverage in the unincorporated areas. The looming crisis was brought on after Dwayne Pratt was rein- stated as LaBelle Fire Chief at the August 17 city commission meeting, resulting in the resig- nation of eight veteran volun- teer firefighters. The county provides 70 per- cent of LFD's budget which pays for fire coverage outside the city limits. LaBelle Mayor Randy Bengston, who is also the county's Director of Public Safety overseeing the fire and Emergency Medical Service as well as Emergency Manage- ment and other related depart- ments, created a temporary fire substation at the LaBelle EMS station on Cowboy Way. The firefighters who submitted their resignations were then transferred there and will be paged out from the EMS sta- tion. Three firetrucks have been relocated there from LFD as well as bunker gear and other equipment for the fire- fighters. The new substation is a temporary fix which must be renewed by the county com- mission every seven days until LaBelle Fire Department's ros- ter reaches 18 once again. The situation has been brewing for months. Last Janu- ary, firefighters met with Chief Pratt and Mayor Randy Bengston in an attempt to iron future. ATM's Grant Misterly provided an update on the water system at the August 17 commission meeting. Part of his presentation included a rate structure review. City residential water cus- tomers currently pay a fixed monthly charge of $7.67 and a .... 1.....,;. : L. Chief Dwayne Pratt out ongoing issues. Mayor Bengston said a number of those issues had been addressed. However, last month the firefighters present- ed a lengthy list of grievances to the mayor with a request for the chief's dismissal. Mayor Bengston said he spoke with Chief Pratt and felt that several of the grievances were of sufficient gravity that he asked for the chief's resig- nation. Those issues included alleged hiring discrimination, personal use of city equipment and improper disposal of city property. The commission's vote to reinstate Chief Pratt came up at the August 17 city commission meeting. The result was 3-2: Commissioners Dave Lyons, Paul Puletti and Bob Miller all voted for reinstatement while Mayor Bengston and Commis- sioner Hilda Zimmerly voted against it. Commissioner Zimmerly said she voted against rein- statement because she feels a larger investigation of the entire issue is in order. She said hav- ing nine firefighters resigning and at least 15 unhappy about the running of the fire depart- ment, is evidence that some- commodity rate (for each 1,000 gallons used) of $1.36. Mr. Mis- terly explained that customers can expect an increase in those rates with the new reverse osmosis plant being planned. The city is currently in the pre- liminary design phase. The new water plant is expected to go on S -, Malcolm "Skeeter" Johnson thing is wrong that the city needs to get to the bottom of. Commissioner Zimmerly had met previously with the firefighters, as did all the com- missioners except Mr. Puletti, "because I wanted to know" what their issues were. Commission Puletti indicat- ed he has serious concerns about apparent ongoing prob- lems inside the department, but voted to reinstate Chief Pratt because he felt the situa- tion was not being handled properly. "I think it's a squabble over control of the club and is noth- ing to do with the substantive, day-to-day operation of the fire department," he said. He added that he could not justify letting the chief go without any real investigation into the alle- gations against him. He also said that department heads can only be fired by a vote from the commissioners which did not happen. Commissioner Puletti fur- ther explained his position. If the chief needs improvement, then he should be given an improvement plan and moni- tored. If communication is the See Fire -Page 2 line in January 2010. Mr. Misterly provided sug- gested residential rates for the future: a fixed rate of $18.40 (from the $7.67 currently) and a commodity rate of $2.45 (from the current $1.36). He showed that these pro- jected 2010 rates compare.well with an average of $32.09 area utility bills based on a usage of 9,000 gallons per month. In 2010, if the rates increase as expected, LaBelle residential customers' average utility bill will be $40.45. He also suggest- See City -Page 2 County looks at fire issue By Patty Brant The Hendry County com- missioners underscored last Friday's declaration of local emergency Tuesday night by temporarily suspending its fire protection contract with the City of LaBelle. The suspension will remain.in effect until the board is confident that LaBelle Fire Department can meet its responsibility to county resi- dents or the contract is renego- tiated. Commissioner Kevin McCarthy, who has consider- able experience with Clewis- ton's volunteer fire department, was selected to help reconsider that interlocal agreement. County Director of Public Safety Randy Bengston, who is also the LaBelle mayor, explained the temporary provi- sions.which allow.the LaBelle firefighters who resigned in protest over the chief's rein- statement last Thursday to work under the county. Mr. Bengston said at 4 p.m. Tuesday the city had three applications for firefighters - one a career officer, one cur- rently in the fire academy and one with no training at present. Commissioner McCarthy did not wish to get into the p:li- tics involved, but felt that there must be a management prob- lem at LFD. With the county footing 70 percent of LFD's budget, he added that the county needs to have more say in LFD. Noting that LFD is consider- ing hiring six full time firefight- ers, Commissioner Bill Maddox insisted he did not see the need SeeConimnsion --Page 3 Three run for school board district 5 The District #5 School Board member is the only local office contested in the September 5 Primary Elec- tion.

It was definitely time for a new building when the old one was busting at the seams in more ways than one. The cramped trailer that has been known to most as the driver's license build- ing for the past 18 years on Cow- boy Way is now going to be demolished. The state was going to close the old building, but thanks to Peggy Hampton who volun- teered to take on the driver's license office in LaBelle, LaBelle still has a driver's license building to call its own. The new driver's license building is located at 100 JC/Lion's Drive in the old JC building and is open for business. It is still, however, in the process of being remodeled and finished. The old driver's license build- ing was in a very small, 11x60 ft. or 660 sq. ft. trailer that could hold a capacity of 25 people including the three person staff. The new building is three times that size. It is in a 30x62 ft. or 1,860 sq. ft. building that holds approximately three times as many people as before with a staff of five that will be six in the near future. The hours of operation are still the same with working hours on Tuesday-Friday from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. The telephone number is still 674-4022. The staff is doing a great job trying not to keep anyone wait- ing, but with approximately 125 customers daily there is no guar- antee that they won't be busy. To assure that you don't have to wait the supervisor, Sallie Brown, sug- gests calling ahead to make an appointment. The driver's license building is a full service building meaning that they give testing for driver's licenses, issue driver's licenses and also update them.

Implementing an interim rate from the current $7.67 fixed rate to $13.04, utility bills would aver- age $30.23, he said. A public hearing will be set to discuss the interim rate suggestion According to Superintendent of Public Works Michael Boyle, the city's last utility rate increase was in 1992. He also said that the water plant has traditionally paid for itself, however, for the first time the water utility has dipped into .he red. Fire Continued From Page 1 problem then he should be allowed an opportunity to improve it. "None of that hap- pened," he said. The chief was not given a chance to respond to the allegations and there was no investigation. He fell that asking the chief to resign was prema- ture; that other options should have been explored, such as sus- pension and investigation. Referring to allegations that Chief Pratt inappropriately signed fire club checks, Commis- sioner Puletti said that, if the chief is guilty of criminal actions, he should be punished. Commis- sioner Puletti pointed out that several years ago the city prose- cuted an employee for embezzle- ment because he %was unwilling to "let it go." He said that after over 20 years of service to the fire depart- ment and city, the chief "deserved better treatment" and questioned if the firefighters' concern was for the safety of the residents or for control of the fire department. He added, "I don't like being pushed into a corner without any options. Where was the due process for. Dwayne?" As of Tuesday, 11 volunteer firefighters who previously paged out of LFD are now covering the unincorporated area outside of LaBelle city limits; and the City of LaBelle had ten firefighters on its roster. Chief Pratt said as of Tues- day noon he had three applica- tions for firefighters and was expecting more. Chief Pratt said he feels some "personal jabs" had been thrown at him and that some.of the accusations were petty. "I'm trying to take the high road," he said, "the public shouldn't have to suffer because of all of this." Should either the city or coun- ty firefighters require back up, Mr. Bengston said mutual aid agreements continue to be in force, so he feels confident that all residents are adequately cov- ered. Both stations are equipped and nobody is lacking, Mr. Bengston said, "I have done the best I can for both sides of the fence to make sure all are pro- tected."

To all Glades County residents planning to go to any government functions or anything you are asked to keep your opinions at home. One will be provided for you. You know what you gotta do. A recent Muse political rally should alarm all those who value free- dom when a few people wearing political T-shirts were pressured into being censured because they declared an opinion a candidate did not like. All should be aware of this arrogant abuse of free speech. Glades County needs to vote to keep freedom. You can read more about this incident at Newszap.com Glades County/Moore Haven forum under two categories: 2006 elections and endangered public rights in Muse. We live in the Southwest section of Muse. We moved here to be surrounded by nature and wildlife. We feel protective of all the wild creatures on our property, and strongly believe that they should be able to live as nature intended. Last week we were awakened to squealing and barking under our bedroom. We looked to see that two large black dogs and one small black dog had a small pig by the ears. The dogs were trying to kill the pig. Our yells did nothing to discourage the attack of the dogs, even though they were only five feet from us. Finally, we fired some shots near them and they let go of the piglet and ran off. Later we heard them chasing other animals all around our property, but too far away for us to reach them. For three days after those dogs terrorized the wildlife on our property we did not see any of the creatures that we normally see every day. This letter will hopefully inform the owners of those dogs and any others that are allowed to roam free and kill and terrorize wildlife to the fact that there are several people like us who love the wildlife and will do whatever it takes to protect it. If you do not keep your dogs where they belong, you may end up losing them! Muse resident and nature lover Straight Talk Question: I know the county is working on getting some sidewalks done so that people can walk more safely. Can someone tell me where those sidewalks will be and how long before they are done? From Hendry County Road and Bridge Plans are complete for side- walk construction at the follow- ing locations: LaBelle area: NE Eucalyptus, Collingswood, SR 29, DeSoto Ave. (Marginal Walk), Cowboy Way, NW Eucalyptus; Clewiston area: Harlem Academy, Berner Road, Hooker's Point and Del Monte Ave. The first grant the county received ($300,000) was for the design of all of the above. The county contracted with Johnson Engineering in the amount of $160,000 for the plans. The remaining $!4,QOQ,,w.as to be used :or Ihe partial construction of NE Eucalyptus. The state only encumbered $160,000 for this project and when the plans were complete and signed off on by the state they then encumbered the remaining $140,000. When funds are encumbered they go through five stages. According to the state's procurement manager, the NE Eucalyptus section was in the last of five stages of being approved for construction. She expects it to take another week or ITR AIGIT TALK two. The county has received a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for all the projects with the exception of the above part of NE Eucalyptus. NW Eucalyptus is believed to be outside the grant dollars. Con- struction has began on the por- tion of NE Eucalyptus that we have the NTP on. All of the above sidewalks are being paid for from a LAP Agreements with FDOT. The county currently has four agreements. Two of the agree- ments expire on December 29, 2006, one expires on June 29, 2007, and one expires on Decem- ber 30, 2007. The state would like to see all the projects completed within the agreement dates and the sidewalk crew is aware of this. Even though the crew is working, delays are being caused. by requirements of the grant agree- ment. Bidding on the pipe for these projects has been held up until the county gets the NTP for the first portion of NE Eucalyptus. In addition, the county has received an easement across the street from LaBelle Elementary School and plans on constructing a sidewalk from the existing side- walk on FPLs property to Carlyle Street along Cowboy Way. This sidewalk is being funded by the county. Letter to the Editor Curtis tribute Mrs. Tracey Galloway District Director of Develop- ment Edison College Foundation Inc. P.O. Box 60210 Ft.

It is requested that this contribution be used in your plans to develop the LaBelle campus. Ken Curtis did much for many.

FREE SPEECH," while sitting alone in his truck during a rainstorm across the street from the Muse Multipurpose Building, Carlton DeLoach decided not to attend the Muse Community Associa- tion's political rally that night. Joanne Aims, the Association's president had told him that, if he and his wife Mary attended the rally wearing t-shirts that stated, "Hey Alvin, our cow died, we don't need your bull," many politicians scheduled to attend the event would boycott it. One of the Glades County Commission- ers had delivered this unfortunate edict to President Aims, causing her great distress. She and other volunteers in the Association had put in much effort in preparing for this event, such as in decorating the building and arranging for refreshments. So President Aims told the DeLoachs what was threatened and they graciously decided not to attend, thus avoid- ing an unpleasant scene, but Carl- ton staged his silent and solitary protest outside in the rain. The DeLoachs had attended the Ortona Community Associa- tion's political rally two nights before, wearing t-shirts with that same message, and there was no incident. The DeLoachs reported that they had sat quietly in the audience at that Ortona event and even had joked with Alvin Ward, Glades County Commissioner, about their t-shirts, though they never came out and said that it was Commissioner Ward to whom the t-shirts referred. Carl- ton DeLoach simply stated, "There are lots of folks named Alvin." So why did some local politicians threaten to boycott the Muse Community Association's event? There is some history here. A number of years ago, the newly elected leadership of the Muse Community Association began to criticize some of Commissioner Ward's actions. When he attend- ed Association meetings, many tough questions were asked of him and, after a few of these meetings, he simply stopped attending. The Association made many overtures to get him to resume attending, since he repre- sents Muse, but he refused. He told me that he was shunning Muse because he did not need the support of the Muse Community Association in order to be re-elect- ed and simply did not want to be subjected to criticism by attend- ing the Association meetings. Vot- ers throughout the entire county vote for Glades County commis- sioners and Commissioner Ward further expressed his belief that he had sufficient county-wide support, despite his problems in his own district, which includes Muse. I and others from the Muse Community Association contin- ued to ask Commissioner Ward to attend the Association's meetings and he finally agreed to speak quarterly at the Muse Multipur- pose Building, but only if this would not be under the auspices of the Association-and with the agreement that he would not be publicly criticized. He arranged, as a government official, to speak one time at the building during a night other than when the Associ- ation usually meets, as part of a Town Hall Meeting that he, not the Association, sponsored-and he agreed to return on another date in a few months. No one crit- icized him at that Town Hall Meet- ing. Unfortunately, Commissioner Ward did not follow-through with any additional Town Hall Meet- ings, breaking his promise. No one enjoys being criticized, but a politician is a public figure who needs to represent his or her constituents-and there will always be those who disagree with something. In addition, there have been many concerns voiced about Commissioner Ward that I believe legitimately warrant criti- cism, but I will hot go into any details here on this. Instead, I offer one overarching criticism that is perhaps most basic, namely a public figure needs to have the courage to openly face criticism. I simply find it disgraceful that any politician might think he or she is above answering to the people that are represented. In this recent political rally, that one local politi- cian who claimed to be speaking for other politicians threatened to shun an event held for the people due to a few protest t-shirts sends the wrong message. I hope that Commissioner Ward's shunning of the Muse Community Associa- tion does not have a ripple effect in which other local politicians now think they can be unac- countable to the people they rep- resent. And no matter how much a politician in a democratic socie- ty might try to avoid criticism,. there is always a day of reckon- ing-namely Election Day, when the people's voicee cannot be silenced. Insurance needs where time counts I am sorry I did not get out the financial tip last week. I had to go in the hospital for a minor procedure and did not get my article to the Caloosa Belle in a timely manner. Do not blame Patty Brant. She is an absolutely adorable lady and very depend- able. We are fortunate to have her, and we should keep her. As.,if Floridians don't have enough crises to deal with, our health insurance situation in-the state for many. people is a disas- ter. Many years ago I stopped writing health insurance because of how much time was consumed in my business trying to constantly find a lower premi- um contract for my clients when rates went up every year, and in some cases in just six months. Insurance companies selling individual policies and group policies are continuously raising premiums. For those of you who have a business, even just a one-man business, as long as it is legiti- mate, August is the only month of the year when there is an Financial Tips open enrollment period forl group health insurance plans, regardless of pre-existing med- ical conditions; even if you have already been turned down for insurance elsewhere. The rates are not cheap, but it may be the only option available to you and/or your employees. Call your local insurance agent, or the Insurance Commissioner's Office (they have an 800 phone number), or major carriers such as Blue Cross. You must get your paperwork in before the end of August to qualify without evi- dence of insurability. There is another situation going on right now where time is of the essence. The Department of Financial Services of the State of Florida has a Hurricane Dam- age Mitigation Program. For the last week or so thousands of people have been signing up for it. There is a limited amount of money approved by the state Legislature for this program, but it is in the millions. Here are some of the essential details: Go to www.inysafefloridahoroe.com. At the Internet address, you can fill out an application to partici- pate in the program. You can also call 1-800-342-2762 for information. In order to qualify, you must own a primary residence in the State of Florida that qualifies for the homestead exemption, with an insured value of less than $500,000. Check this on the dec- larations page of your home- owner's insurance policy. It is not the market value of your home, not the taxable amount, and does not include the land value. It must be a site built home, i.e. not manufactured housing. However, money was allowed to study improvements for manufactured houses, and they may be included at a later date. Inspectors are being approved in certain wind prone counties. around the state, and they will come out and inspect your home. .These are state inspectors especially approved for this program. Do not get conned by any other inspectors who might be falsifying informa- tion. If after they inspect .your home "for free" they recom- mend certain improvements-to strengthen your home, you can get a grant of up to 50 percent to $5,000 paid for by the State of Floiida. This is an excellent ben- efit for residents vwho qualify. Inspections are now being done in Lee,. County, and Hendr) County will likely follow soon. I suggest you look into, this right now and see if you qualify, and get registered while there is still money available. This appears to be a really good deal. Wayne C.

My summer of surgery is over. After my second eye surgery my daughter Suzy took to calling me Frankenmom- my. The only reason I didn't smack her was that she was my main ride back and forth. My place looks like the city dump due to all the procedures I had done. No lifting, no bending over, keep off the right foot and then the left. I've learned to live in squalor and it's not all that bad. To get rid of stains in glass vases, decanters, etc. Just drop a denture cleaning tablet in it and add warm water. Let sit awhile and rinse. Out of toilet cleaner? Pour 1 cup of bleach into the bowl and let sit for 5 to 10 min- utes. Always - store your opened cot- tage cheese container upside down. Stays fresh a lot longer. I put it upside down on a saucer just in case it doesn't get closed tightly. A little precaution saves a lot of work later. I'm treasurer of the Legion Auxiliary and can't tell you how many times I write a check on the wrong page. My friend Lois McFall slipped a paper under the top page so I can see which one is next. So simple... Sayin' of the week comes from Suzy Kennington... "I work myself to death trying to keep things sim- ple." That is the story of my life... i i How do you think problems at the fire department can be over- come? Mr. Pratt had resigned but has been reinstated as the fire chief and some firefighters have resigned. Caloosa Belle/KrIstin Hunter Lori Howard said, "I wasn't aware that .- -there has been any major problems S W -while Mr. Pratt has been Chief, and I'm a life long resident of LaBelle. However, as with any business or organization communication is always key." Lola Beard said, "There has to be better communication. There is a lack of communication at all gov- ernmental agencies. Don't point fin- gers. If there are problems,.solve them, but don't point fingers." Jean Morrissey said, "I think Dwayne Pratt has been a good fire 4W chief. All the people that work there S need to communicate and get a long better." Bruce Beer said, "Get the politics out of it maybe by having an out- side, non-political, impartial media- tor for the interest of the citizens. The safety of the community should be #1, ahead of the problems of the firefighters." Cody Johnson said, "it's really hard to say because I don't know the full story but it seems like they need to, S- move on for the safety of the com- Smunity."

Locally Owned & Operated Robert Sanchez No fee, n I I ' I Calnnsa Belle. Thursday. Auaust 24, 2006 Here come the LMS Broncos! LMS has a football team By Kristin Hunter The LaBelle Middle School has its first football team and they are excited! The Broncos have 34 boys and are off to a great start. They are working hard practicing from 2:30- 5:30 every day with head Coach Gary White and two assistant coaches Craig Mehlenbacher and Coach Shawn Viecelli. Head Coach Gary White said, "We have had a lot of interest from the community in the middle school starting a foot- ball program and we would like to thank the parents and community for helping to get this started suc- cessfully." As of right now the Broncos are scheduled to play six games: 9/7-Evangelical home, 5 p.m. 9/14-Clewiston away,5 p.m. 9/21-Moore Haven home, 5 p.m. 9/28-Evangelical away,6 p.m. 10/5-Clewiston home, 5 p.m. 10/19-Moore Haven away, 6 p.m. Learning the moves Pop Warner Tiny Mites and Mitey Mites really rolled last Sunday in the Jamboree that kicked off their sea- son. Here the Mitey Mite on the far left carries the ball and heads toward the sideline as his teammates block for him and LeHigh players try to head him off. As always, the cheerleaders gave their all, whipping up enthusiasm on the sidelines. This is the second year for the Tiny Mites, 5-7 year olds, and there were two teams, Red and White. The Red team played LeHigh Raiders and Fort Myers Firecats while the White team played the Immokalee Indians and Fort Myers Firecats. The Tiny Mites do not keep score. The Mitey Mites were hot, hot, hot, tying the LeHigh Raiders A 6-6 and then beat the Raiders B team, 12-0. Longhorn home games are played at Davis-Pratt Field; $4 for adults; $1 for stu- dents. Cowgirls to rely on senior leadership The Cowgirls' season opened up Monday, August 14, and their first home game will be Wednes- day, September 6. The Cowgirl var- sity volleyball team defeated Cape Coral High School in their first match of the season. The Cowgirls won in three straight games 25-20, 25-13, and 25-17. Brogan Heisler led the way for the Cowgirls in the serving department with four aces. Vanessa Ostaloza and Alexa Redish also contributed with three aces each. Offensively the Cowgirls were, led by Heather Raulerson with ten kills and Vanessa Ostaloza with seven kills. Dani Blake ended the night with a total of 24 assists. The Cowgirl varsity volleyball team will be looking to the leader- ship of the two senior captains, set- ter Dani Blake and outside hitter Heather Raulerson. At the setter position Blake is expected to run the offense. "We are very lucky to have such an athletic setter, she def- initely makes things happen." Raulerson will be relied on heavily in the serve receive rotation. "We want Heather to have the opportunity to take as many serves from the opposing team as possible." Also, adding strength into the Cowgirls' line up are junior middle blockers Vanessa Ostaloza and Alexa Redish. Both of the girls are returning starters and have now matured into very competitive players. Their contri- bution will have a huge impact on this season and hopefully continue into their senior year, according to Coach'ShellyBlake. Senior Brogan Heisler and Juniors Lacey McCall and Jacy Sealy will be counted on for their ability to play in many positions. It's not.a common skill involleyball for a player to be able to play in each position that the coach wants, and even less common to play those positions effectively, but Heisler, Sealy and McCall seem open to everychallenge set before them. Defensively, the Cowgirls will be looking to seniors Tiffany Terrell and Suzi Greenleaf. "Defense is often overlooked by people because it's not a stat that usually gets your name in the paper, but it is an extremely important role on this Iearn and these two girls gladly take up thie challenged Coach Blake said. Finally, the youngest addition to the Cowgirl varsity is sophomore Blake Rice. Blake came in and picked up very quickly on the upbeat tempo of the varsity. She has all the skills that are necessary to be successful on the court. She'll be looked to for her strength in serving and passing.

He's I never won a major, but he captured a respectable nine tour victories between I 1978 and 1993. He's been a consistent money winner, and he's done well on the Champions Tour for senior golfers. But at the 2006 U.S. Open, Haas made history. Any idea how? By making the ,I cut at the Open, Haas broke a tie with I Tom Kite to become the all-time leader I in tour cuts made. It was the record- I I breaking 591st tournament in which I I Haas made the cut, covering a career I I that began in 1976 -an average of almost I I 15 cuts made every year. New York Yankees outfielder Berie SWilliams played in his 2,000th game for Sthe team in June of 2006. Only four other Yankees all Hall of Famers - played in at least 2,000 games wearing the pinstripes. Can you name them? The leader is Mickey Mantle with 2,401 games played as a Yankee, followed by Lou Gehrig with 2,164, Yogi Berra with 2,116, and Babe Ruth with 2,084. Across town, the New York Mets raced out of the gate to start the 2006 season. In fact, they built a five-game lead in their division after just the first 12 games, the fewest needed in major league history to take such a lead. But they didn't cool off as the season wore on. The Mets went 9-1 on a June road Trip, scoring at least one run in the first inning in the last eight games of the trip. No big league team had accomplished that since the 1938 Philadelphia Athletics. So those A's must have been pretty good, right? Think again. Despite at streak, the '38 A's finished I the season with a 53-99 record, 46 games behind the first-place Yankees.

I I Afff 78ar-~ 1uL, 8 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, August 24,2006 Local author earns publishers' excellence award Local author Barbara Oehlbeck just keeps getting better. Most recently she brought home the prestigious Florida Publishers Association 2006 award for Best Florida Book Nonfiction for her monumental biographical effort The Ranch ... Hilliard Brothers of Florida by Joe Marlin Hilliard with Barbara Oehlbeck in collaboration with Florida Classics Library, Port Salerno over five years in the making. The book chronicles the Hilliard family from the turn of 20th Century to the present. After receiving her award, Ms. Oehlbeck said, "Often, the nicest things come at unexpected times from unexpected sources. Such was the case August 19. "Writing a biography is a great responsibility. The biggest chal- lenge is honesty in writing about not only the principal but also the characters. It's difficult to stick strictly to the person, what he's done or not done, how he feels and sees his life as it relates to the principal. A writer may think that writing about the character in a flattering way could make the book more readable. This could be true in writing fiction, but never in a biography. Nonfiction must be true and honest. The Ranch is, to say the least, oversize, with 640 pages and 80-some characters. Caloosa Belle/Paty Branm Authors Barbara Oehlbeck and Lowell Teal were honored August 19 with first place awards by the Florida Publishers Association. The challenge was long and ardu- ous. "Confession: sometimes I won- dered if all the effort was worth it. Now I have to say ... yes, itwas." The day was made even sweet- er as her good friend, Lowell Teal, won the comparable award for fic- tion with his novel Bath Pond. Ms. Oehlbeck is well-known as the author of The Sabal Palm: A Native Monarch and For the Love of Roses. Her other books include The Boy, The Man and The Bishop and Barefoot to Boots (Charles W Flint). Ms. Oehlbeck has twice won awards from the National Writers Association, Florida Chap- ter in the nonfiction short story cat- egory: a first place for Ricky and third place for Cascade. She was also named a Woman of Achieve- ment in the arts. Ms. Oehlbeck is / In addition to a beautiful plaque commemorating their awards, all winning FPA members received a certificate and 1,000 President's Book Awards gold foil labels for their book covers. This year's winning publishers and authors came from Florida, Wis- consin, South Carolina and Vir- ginia. currently putting the finishing touches on her book, Mama, Root Hog, or Die, which will be pub- lished soon. She and her husband, Dr. Luther Oehlbeck, have lived in Muse for manyyears.

Other sisters who served in LaBelle, but could not be present were; Sr. Bienvenida Velez, Sr. Carol Bialock, Sr. Muriel Cameron,and Sr. Rosemary Thompson, Especially remem- bered in prayers at the dedication were Sr. Rosa Orjuela and Sr. Mer- cedes Posada, who were tragical- ly killed in a car accident in 1995, while driving a parishioner to a job interview. Six other members of the Religious of the Sacred Heart drove up from Miami to share in this special day. Laura Davis, Playground Com- mittee Chair, spoke at the event about the importance of nurtur- ing children's mind, soul and body. She thanked the other com- mittee members K.C. Stanley Lynn, Donna McAvoy, Cate Moon and Donna Strickland, for their efforts. As soon as the Pastor, Fr. Chester Domaszewicz and Asso- ciate, Fr. Jiobani Batista, blessed the new playground equipment, the children of the parish rushed to try it out.

Auaust 24, 2006 Goodbye... and...Hello, Debbie! By BarbaraOehlbeck None of "us" who've been "reg- ulars" at Flora & Ella's Restaurant wants to think about Debbie not being there. However, as we all know change is inevitable, and so it is in this case. She says, "This is the right time for me to make a change. It's not easy. I get very emotional but tat doesn't mean I'm wavering about it. It just means you can't spend your life in one place and not have a lot of deep feelings about leaving. Flora & Ella's is family...in a big way it's been home to me ever since Iwas born..." And she means just that. Debbie Burchard was born in Flora & Ella's first location on Bridge Street. She grew up learn- ing the'business from "one end to the other." She laughs saying, "I mean EVERY end...from scrubbing the kitchen floor to cleaning the bath- rooms, to cooking at every sta- tion..." The tears don't, quite spill over but they're close as she says: "Well, there are a few things I won't miss...like getting up six days a week at four o'clock! And there are more than a few times when I have to stay through the dinner hour and dose up for one reason or more... .Whatever the reason someone has 'to close up and put things in order for the next morning. And that's the manager's job. I can't say I haven't loved it, I have. But now I'm turning myself in another direction. I've always been fascinated and drawn to business finances, and I feel that this is an opportunity I need and want to explore. I've always been a people person and I'm so happy that this will be an extension of that part of me." That opportunity for Debbie is that she'll be moving only a block or so east, still on Hickapoochee/Route 80 to First Bank of Clewiston. Joe W. Shivers, Senior Vice Pres- ident/Area Manager, First Bank of Clewiston: "We are very happy to have- Debbie Klemmerer join our LaBelle bank family. She brings with her not only her smiling face and sun- shine personality, but also her deep roots in the community. Her knowl- edge of the people and the history of this area will be a real asset to us in maintaining our community citi- zenship. We will also miss her at Flora & Ella's, but we are happy to be chosen to help with her new career." Flora & Ella's is a significant Florida landmark having made its own place in'the sun beginning over seventy years ago. And, there are more than a few celebrities who've made a habit of stopping for a meal in going or coming from the East Coast. Patrick Smith whose book "A Land Remembered" out- sells all the others, and in his day Governor Lawton Chiles would not step his foot inside LaBelle xvithout heading for Flora & Ella's. And one Your #1 Choice For Repairs and Re-Roofs Steel Buildings & Components * Structural products.

T-' $. '- "-. . Debbie Klemmerer closes one door and opens another on a new life. afternoon Nat King Cole's daugh- ter, Natalie, came in and made friends with not only Debbie but several waitresses. Television's renowned ministers, John and Diane Hagee always visit when they're in the area. Durwood Kirby and Burt Reynolds are also in Flora &' Ella's fan club and it's been said more than once that Flora & Ella's is local, state and national "Political Headquarters." And there's more: This is the place where memorial gatherings are held, anniversary and birthday events as well as receptions of all sorts, and a special book signing for Patrick Smith and his "Land Remembered". And, Flora & Ella's considers it a high honor that wed- dings are held under their roof where if the happy couple wishes, Senator Alan Trask will officiate. In addition, at least once year, usually on Valentine's Day, there is concert by Dr. Paul Pitts, who's acclaimed to be the Pavarotti of the U. S., with whom he has performed many times, along with his pianist, Dr. Sammy Lane. Smiling through tears, Debbie says with total conviction....when He closes one door, He always opens another. She didn't have to look far for that open door...just a couple blocks eastward to First BankofClewiston.
