By Patty Brant
For the family and many
friends of murder victim Danny
Woosley, Thursday, August 24,
was a heart wrenching ordeal.
The same may be said for the
family of James Robert Hender-
son, the man who will be incar-
cerated for the rest of his life for
that murder.
In a negotiated plea, the 21-
year-old Henderson pled guilty
to one count of first degree mur-
der, one count of burglary and
two counts of grand theft. Circuit

The sheriff's gun range is on
a total of about 80 acres'and is
used for many different func-
tions. It is used for law enforce-
ment qualifying, the Army
National Guard, Coast Guard
and Army Reserve training, 4-H
and Boy Scout camping trips, as
well as civilian target practice.
The sheriff's gun range is
now open on Wednesdays and
Saturday for civilians. It's open
on Wednesday from 8 a.m.-l
p.m. on the skeet/trap range
and Saturdays from 8-11:30
a.m. on the skeet/trap range
and 12:30-3:30 p.m. the pistol,
rifle and shotgun range is open.
There are four shooting booths
with bullet proof glass for pis-
tols, a shotgun and rifle range
and a skeet range.
The pistol range and shot-
gun range are both 50 yards.
The rifle range is 228 yards. The
skeet range has eight stations
where you can choose either
single or double birds, meaning
either one or two clay pigeons
at a time. Station one is the high
house where the clay pigeons

Friends, co-workers and fam-
ily joined at Don's Steakhouse
on Thursday night, August 24, to
honor Embarq installation and
repair technician Michael
Awbrey as a hero.
Mike Lewis, Director for
South Florida Embarq, honored
Mr. Awbrey with the Carl Scupin
award for employees who risk
their life to save another. This is
only the second time this award
has been given in Florida and
the first time it has been given
since the company's name
change from Sprint to Embarq.
Mr. Awbrey also received a desk-
top trophy and $5,000.
When asked what youngest
son, Dylan a 6th grader, thought
of his dad he said, "He's awe-
some." Oldest son Michael, a

It was about 8:30-9 a.m. on a
regular workday when Mr.
Awbrey was on County Rd. 835
headed back from a "trouble
call," where a person's phone
isn't working at their house. Lit-
tle did he know, he was really on
another kind of trouble call. He
said, "I pulled onto the road
about one mile when this young
guy was flagging me down and I
just figured he had a flat tire or
something, but when I looked to
the left I saw an SUV overturned
underwater in the canal. The
guy who flagged me down was
driving his car behind the over-
turned vehicle when the acci-
dent happened. He was hysteri-
cal and seemed to be in shock.

During the procedure, Prose-
cutor Robert Antonello noted
that as part of the plea agree-
ment, the State withdrew the
threat of the death penalty and
dropped the escape charge
against Henderson, who had
escaped from the Hendry County
Jail just before Mr. Woosley's
murder.
Mr. Antonello took pains to
ensure that Henderson was

aware of exactly what had tran-
spired in court, asking detailed
questions designed to make sure
that the defendant understood
the plea agreement and its ramifi-
cations. When the prosecutor
asked "Are you, in fact, guilty?"
He answered clearly, "Yes."
Henderson stood quietly,
flanked by his attorneys as the
proceedings progressed and the
prosecutor recounted the events
that led up to the shooting that
day:
On December 30, 2004, Hen-


derson escaped from Hendry
County Jail where he was serving
a year's sentence on two counts
of grand theft auto. He had just
four months left on that sen-
tence. From the jail, he went to
Mr. Woosley's home on SR 29S
with the intention of stealing
guns. Henderson had lived with
Mr. Woosley for a time and knew
that he was a gun collector. Hen-
derson forced his way into the
gun closet where he armed him-

Pratt resigns



as fire chief


Firefighters move
back into LFD

By Patty Brant
After being back on the job
for just a week, Dwayne Pratt
resigned as fire chief again.
Mr. Pratt sent his resignation
to the city commissioners
through Josh Rimes as the
commissioners worked at a
budget workshop Thursday,
August 24. The board accept-
ed his resignation which cited
physical and mental stress on
himself and his family as its
cause.
Rimes, who. is also a fire
inspector, will serve as interim
chief for the city side, while
Malcolm Johnspn-will serve in
that capacity for the county
side. However, all the firefight-
ers will dispatch out of the


LaBelle fire station. Mayor and
Hendry County Director of
Public Safety Randy Bengston
said the current split between
a city and county fire depart-
ment will continue until the
county reinstates the inter-
local agreement concerning
fire coverage. As part of that
agreement, the county actual-
ly foots 70 percent of LaBelle
Fire Department's budget.
A crisis was precipitated
when eight veteran volunteer
firefighters resigned from the
department August 17,
protesting the reinstatement
of Mr. Pratt as fire chief. The
chief had resigned at the
request of Mayor Bengston
last month after firefighters
turned in a five-page list of
grievances against the chief.
See Chief Page 2


City advised tp



revamp charter


At the August 17 LaBelle City
Commission meeting, City
Attorney Owen Luckey sug-
gested commissioners consid-
er updating the city's 80-year-
old charter and that the Code
Review Board take on the proj-
ect and make recommenda-
tions. He noted several possible
changes: increasing commis-
sioners' terms from two to four
years and changing from sum-
mer to fall elections. He said
scheduling city elections later
in the year with general elec-
tions should improve voter
turnout and save the city some
$6,000 per election. Mr. Luckey
said the process of changing
the city's charter would be


lengthy and would ultimately
be decided by a referendum.
The commissioners took no
action but will be considering
the suggestion.

Rec update
Recreation Director Phill
Pelletier asked to use the
$45,000 in the budget that
came from last year's increase
in recreation assessments from
$50 to $75. He told the board
that the rec district has been
operating on the same budget
for nine years and presented a
list of needs. That list included
replacing old equipment; hurri-

self. When Mr. Woosley unex-
pectedly returned home, Hender-
son shot him four times: twice in
the torso and twice in the head.
He then stole Mr. Woosley's truck
and drove to Collier County
where he abandoned it and stole
a Chevrolet Cavalier.
In response to questions, Hen-
derson said he was satisfied with
the representation provided by his
Public Defenders, lead defense
attorney Kathleen Fitzgeorge and
Montgomery Jackson.
Dressed in a red Lee County
Jail jumper, his hands chained
together in front of him the slight-
ly built, boyish looking Hender-
son turned to face both the
Woosley family and his own fami-
ly after sentencing. He expressed


sorrow for his actions and hoped
they could all move on with their
lives. Addressing individual mem-
bers of the Woosley family by
name, he said "I know how rough
this has been on you... I'm so
sorry."
He repeated the emotional
message to his own family before
walking out of the courtroom,
bound for the state prison that
will be his home for the rest of his
life.
The judge accepted four letters
from members of the Woosley
family, three were read to the
open court, including one written
by Joann Woosley to her son's
killer about a month after the
murder. In that letter she vented
her own pain and frustration and
bared her own broken heart, rail-
ing against the loss of one so dear
to her family. She also gave voice
to the inconsolable hurt left to
Henderson's family.

The Area Housing Commis-
sion of Clewiston, LaBelle and
Hendry County submitted a
request that the agriculture hous-
ing complex GreenTree South be
annexed into the city. The 52-acre
facility is located on SR 29S and is
contiguous to the city limits.
The board responded favor-


ably to Tully Dunlap's suggestion
that the city make a gesture of
appreciation to Ken Curtis, the
101-year-old area benefactor who
recently passed away. The
planned LaBelle Edison College
campus will be named for Mr:
Curtis, whose generosity provided
two-year college degrees for over
1,000 local students.
Mayor Randy Bengston sug-
gested the city mark off the side-
walk area on the west side of MLK
with traffic delineators. The Com-
munity Traffic Safety Team has
complained for several months
about double yellow lines the city
painted to mark off the sidewalk
area. CTST said the double yellow
lines can be misinterpreted as the
middle of the road, sending vehi-
cles onto the walking area.
The next regular city com-
mission meeting will be at 7 p.m.,
Thursday, September 14, at
LaBelle City Hall.

down in the water was an older
two door Nissan Pathfinder. The
driver was headed to Clewiston at
the time when the driver side rear
tire blew out, which caused the
driver to veer off to the left into a
canal."
There were two guys in the
vehicle. Mr. Awbrey had to go
underwater and hold his breath in
order to get to the two victims. Mr.
Awbrey said, "I pulled out the guy
from the passenger side window
first. He was fine and started to
help me get the other guy out, but


the driver's side door was sealed
shut so I got a breaking bar from
my van (which is normally used
for breaking up rock) to pry open
the driver's side door. I could see
the other guy from the door but I
couldn't get to him so the passen-

ger's:side door open and I cut the
seatbelt off of the giiy, but when
we pulled him out he was already
dead. It was about 15 minutes
after I arrived at this time. I later
found out that the driver of the
vehicle who died, was the father
of the guy that flagged me down."
Soon after, the Hendry County
Sheriff's Department arrived on
scene. .

Smith said, "The range has been
opened for about two weeks and
we're still trying to get a good idea
of just how busy it will get."
John Matson from Naples has
been enjoying skeet shooting for
about five years. He said, "I enjoy
coming here because the drive is
nice and the fellows are nice." He
also had a little advice for new-


comers and said that they might
want to start on station seven first
because it is the easiest and to
shoot the clay pigeon that's going
away first because if you shoot
the one that's coming toward's
you first it's more difficult.
The range is located halfway
between LaBelle and Clewiston
off of H\w. 27 on Witt Rd. right
after the big gas station.

At that point the county stepped
in, suspending its interlocal
agreement with the city and
allowing those firefighters to dis-
patch to fire calls outside the city
from the EMS station. Those
remaining on the city's roster
handled calls inside the city lim-
its.

Hendry County Commission-
er Kevin McCarthy will help the


county reconsider its interlocal
fire coverage agreement with the
City of LaBelle.
The upheaval at LFD had
been brewing for months. Some
issues were addressed after a
meeting in January with fire-
fighters, Chief Pratt and city ofi-
cials. However, the firefighters'
grievance last month showed
that the rift was much deeper.
Mayor Bengston reiterated
that despite the upheaval at the
fire department, there has been
and'will not be a lapse in fire
coverage.

Ksitduess averts


disaster for sisters


By Patty Brant
Two lovely young women can
expect to live normal, healthy lives,
thanks to a caring neighbor and
some dedicated medical profes-
sionals.
Yoen and Janet Paniagua are
recovering nicely from horrible
burns suffered \when they' opened a
pressure cooker prematurely. Janet
is 14, and a student at LaBelle High
School. Twenty-year-old Voen is Ois-
iting from Washington, D.C. with
her two small children. Their par-
ents are Maria Garcia and Felipe
Paniagua. The sisters %were cooking
pocele a concoction of white
corn and chile for the family meal
August 4 when the accident hap-
pened. It-was the first time either
had ever used the huge pressure
cooker, usually a chore their father
took care of.
The% set the cooker on a chair
and, unfamiliar with how to use it
safely, opened it without letting the
steam escape, bathing themselves
in scalding k\ after and steam.
The girls suffered second and
third degree burns Janet on her
face, back and shoulder. Yoen fell
and boiling hot water splashed
onto, her face, chest, neck and left
arm.
The' accident happened at
about 5 p.m. August 4. The family
called 911 and an ambulance
ai rived. Janet and. Yoenr said EMTs
packed ice on Yoen's burns and
gave her txvo shots. Both girls were
put on oxygen and they were taken
to Gulf Coast Hospital At the hospi-
tal, both were packed with ice:
their burns coated with silvadene
cream and clean dressins.Their
father carnme it pick themrn up ih,.
veriffig afid they w\ Gfepfovided
wilh the phone number of a doctor
if they needed further assistance.
With no insurance, the family
could not hope to get help from the
doctor the hospital recommended,
so they simplywent home.
The next day, the girls' younger


sister told their neighbor, Julia
Scott, about the accident. A regis-
tered nurse, Julia is also a Jeho-
vah's Witness who has been study.
ing with Janet..She wasted no time
in going to their assistance.
Julia said she was shocked at
the girls' condition. She called Dr.
Carmen Barris, who has an office
at Healthilorida Medical Center on
Main Street. Although none of
them were patients of hers, Dr. Bar-
ris immediately asked to see the
girls Julia said she tended their
burns, gave them additional burn
supplies and called the burn center
at Tampa General, securing a spot
for them there. One of her nurses
even dug into her own pocket for
$40 for gas money.
At Tampa General, burn unit
director Dr Donald Smith was very
concerned and gracious, Julia said,
informing then that "insurance
isn't an issue here."
Yoen remained in the burn unit
for a \eek, Janet \\as treated and
released.
For the week they w~ere in
Tampa, they were fortunate to be
able to stay with Julia's aunt and
uncle. During that time, hospital
stall scrubbed the top layer ol burnt
skin off and gave Yoen an IV of
morphine Ior the pain. They cov-
ered her entire chest area with pig's
skin grafl w which protects the sensi-
tive area, allowing the new fresh
skin to grow and keeping scarring
to a minimum. The pig's skin and
staff did their jobs \vell, and
men's s skin looks almost like new.
The girls are \er\ grateful to
Julia if not for her, they would
have had to stay home arid suffer -
and to Dr Barris and the other
health care professionals who
came. to their aid. They agree
there'll be no more pressure cook-
ers for them and caution others to
make sure they understand the'
directions before they use such
equipment.

Had been convicted
in Beard shooting

I attended the Cowboy football game last Friday. While we were
waiting but the rain delay, under the roof at the concession stand, a
man from inside came out and pulled a table away and sent drinks and
snacks flying. Somehow he seemed to be offended by us standing
there trying to get out of the rain. It was brought to the attention of oth-
ers who apologized on his behalf, Others should not have to apologize
foryou.
We will continue to be fans of LaBelle High School.

many acts of kindness and genuine

Witch's Brew


By Pudge Lehman
At the Kiwanis Club meeting
last week Sheriff Lee introduced
Bonnie Weaver as the guest
speaker. She is the deputy respon-
sible for keeping track of sexual
predators and/or offenders. It is a
time consuming job to help keep
us safer. My Question is: do the
schools in Hendry County have a
good program to teach young
children about good touch/bad
touch and what to do when a
family member or family friend
tries to take advantage of a child?
This should start in pre-school or
at least kindergarten. The majority
of the time these crimes are not
committed by strangers.


If you
work outside
the home
you techni-
cally d have
two jobs. You
don't want ,to
spend most of your weekend
cleaning. Take 5 or 10 minutes to
clean or dust :one small area.
Clean off one or two shelves or a
drawer. Use magnetic dusters to:
keep dust from flying all over. I've
found out the hard way that dust-
ing blinds with one of these time
savers is quick and saves time in
the long run.
Sayin': What am I? Flypaper
for freaks?

Aging in Hendry
One of the challenges that life
provides is how to get out alive.
It has been my great fortune-
to have my parents and grand-
parents live long enough to pass
on to me a positive attitude
about the aging process.
Since coming to Hendry
County, one of the fortifying
aspects of the relocation has
been the genuine appreciation
of the merit and worth of an
aging segment of the popula-
tion,
Their many volunteer roles in
all levels of society coupled with
their past employment and edu-
cational experiences are a sub-
stantial resource to the county
and communities.
So if you will bear with me, as
a member of that exalted group,
I would like to share an article
that was presented to me upon
my retirement and relocation.
I worked 45 years for some-
one else so that I could retire. I
dreamed of sleeping late and sit-
ting by the fire. I dreamed of
long vacations enjoying stage


s yourwogI

Get Ivolved

and song, but let me set you
straight on that concept. It is
simply wrong. I did junk my
safety glasses and the work
boots that cramped my toes, but
the rest of it had a mind of its
own.
SSo this is how it goes. My
wife had been thinking of retire-
ment and had plans of her own.
She had spent much time with
the kids, but now they were
grown and gone. We sold our
cattle and horses so we would-
n't have that chore; I poured
concrete on my alarm clock, but
I still wake up at four. I get my
eyes checked on Monday. She
gets hers checked the next day. I
go for a color check on Wednes-
day and pass the wife going the
other way. I have a dental
appointment on Thursday. She
goes for a test on her heart. Fri-


day we go to get prescriptions
filled and browse awhile at Wal-
Mart. Saturday we just stay
home and try to get the paper
work right. We can't take any
overnight trips 'cause we can't
see to drive at night. Restroom
confusion keeps us out of
church on Sunday, and we really
do hate that. There is nothing
wrong with the restrooms.
We just can't remember
where they're at. We don't need
to plan next week, but just make
sure we can drive and remem-
ber where the hospitals and clin-
ics are. We'll need them to sur-
vive..
So don't build your castles
too high, my friends. While
strolling through the clover, as
this is a typical week in retire-
ment.
And on Monday you get to
start all over.
Well in the time we have
been operating under retirement
rules, I can thankfully say that
we are batting 500 in the Senior
League.

Financial tip of the week



Ask your agent about CGL policies


The CGL policy has been
around for a very long time. It is
Comprehensive General Liability
Insurance. If you were to read
cover one of those policies, you
would see that it is broken down
into smaller coverages. An
example is a category called
Manufacturers and Contractors
Insurance, or M and C coverage.
Another category is Completed
Products and Operations cover-
age. Put a few of these together
and you have the essence of a
CGL contract. Just remember
that they are not all created
equally. One might have more
coverages, while another might
have some additional exclu-
sions. One bit of advice I have


often given in this column is to
always ask your agent "what is
not covered?"
Generally, if you have the
choice between taking a CGL
contract and a Business
Owner's Policy, or BOP, choose
the BOP, The BOP has several
extra goodies. If you are a con-
tractor and don't have the prop-
er liability insurance, one law-
suit can cost you everything you
own. I have seen agents leave
out the Completed Operations
Coverage to keep the premium
down in a competitive quote sit-
uation. It requires an auditor
obtain from you on a quarterly
or semi-annual basis, your total
sales revenue information. What


it provides is insurance on your
completed work for your cus-
tomers.
Here is an example: An air-
conditioning contractor installs
a system in the, third floor ol a
condo unit. Several months
later, after the compressor and
condenser have been working
perfectly, he gets an emergency
call that the system is leaking
water, and it is running down
the inside of the walls and caus-
ing damage to both condo units
below his installation. Assuming
it is his fault, his completed
products and operation part of
his CGL policy is the place to file
a claim.
Imagine %what will happen if


his good friend, Mr. Wonderful
insurance Agent, did not include
that coverage in the policy
because he was. trying to keep
the premium down for 'his'
friend? Doing business with
friends is fine; just ask them to
go over everything as thoroughly
as if you were a stranger. Wayne
C. Switzer, CLU, Realtor

How to make progress without progressing


It has long been said of
Glades County officials that they)
are against progress. It is also
said of Glades larger landowners
that they too are against
progress. How do you define
"Progress"? I submit that we can
have progress without progress-
ing just by doing some judicious
house cleaning.
And, that house cleaning can
start with the primary election
and continue on into the final
elections. Before we can start
that house cleaning, we need to
understand what needs to be
cleaned.
Glades County has had, for
years a reputation of corruption,
which by the way, is well earned.
We have had in the not-so-dis-
tant past, officials who have
stolen from the county and been
removed from office to serve
time, officials who have brain
dished weapons at another and
did not serve time, officials who
have used their offices for per-
sonal gain and again have not
served time, and let's not forget
the officials who were found to
violate the Sunshine Law and
were punished but again did not
serve time. Likewise, we have

had officials who were arrested
multiple times, served time.
locally, however short, and have
returned to their office by the
choice of the people. Additional-
ly, we have had officials arrested
for improprieties of good busi-
ness practice against the State
and did not serve time except
the time they continued to serve
the people of Glades. And, how
many officials have used their
office to exert pressure on others
to achieve a not-so-legitimate
end? I'm sure if we dug a little


deeper, we could unearth a mul-
titude of misuse of office.
The first step to progress
without progressing is to rid our-
selves of these leaches on our
government. Once we have
"qualified" and "integrity guid-
ed"
officials to oversee our busi-
ness, we have progressed with-
out progressing.
The next step is to progress

of the people, and to the best
advantage of the county infra-

There is no magic formula to
achieve this end, but there is a

and vote, after you hate taken
the time to know what each offi-
cial supports. And by this, I do
not mean, "taking the word of
others." Be your own person
and use the vote given to you by
so many that have paid the ulti-
mate price to insure that liberty!

Hendry seeking county attorney


By Patty Brant
After some two-and-a-half years
of searching for a permanent coun-
ty attorney, Hendry County com-
missioners finally opted to employ
a recruiting firm to find a suitable
candidate. Kate English, who has
been serving as interim county
attorney, tendered her resignation
effective September 14. She has
assured the commission that she
will continue to deal with ongoing
county legal business as necessary.
Commissioner Janet Taylor
noted that Hendry's location and
salary level have been roadblocks
to finding the right person for the
job. During the search, the position
has remained on the county's Web
site. Several candidates have
applied, but none have worked out
as yet. The salary range for the
county attorney is $90,000-
$150,000peryear.
C-43 test site
Commissioners heard a presen-
tation by South Florida Water Man-
agement District personnel on the
C-43 Reservoir test site just west of
LaBelle. Training has begun to sup-
ply heavy equipment operator jobs
for the actual reservoir project. Job
training has begun through the
Education Center of Southwest
Florida, Inc. The training site is just
west of LaBelle on SFWMD land.
Three levels of certification are
being offered. The five-week class-
es are free. Entry level positions
have salaries at $12-$15. Anyone
interested can call Sonny Hughes
675-6800.
Courthouse
renovation
Conceptual plans for renovating
the Judicial building to accommo-
date an additional courtroom is
under review by county and court
staff. The commissioners opted to
use a Construction Manager at Risk

A. Duda & Sons, Inc., presented a $10,000 check to the Hendry County Board of County
Commissioners at the August 22 commission meeting. The donation will be used to expand

method of construction, which.
may be slightly more expensive at
first bu- can save the county money
in the end by negating the need for
costly change orders.
As of February 1, Hendry Coun-
ty is to get a part time circuit judge
for one week per month and a
hearing officer for two weeks per
month. This will be in addition to
the one circuit court judge the
county now has.
Public hearings
Commissioners approved a
request to change zoning from res-
'idential low density to a PUD at
4949 CR 78 north of the river, south
of 78 at Eagle Point Drive; however,
several neighbors Spoke in support
of a lower density. Their concerns
included the slightlysmaller lot size
14 homes would require, their


impediment to the river vie\\ and
disruption of possible gopher tor-
toise habitat.
The property is just under 15
acres, which would allow 14 single
family units total as currently
zoned, however, the developer
would need to set aside some
space for open space and other
required amenities. The result
would be hall-acre lots instead of
one acre.
Commissioner McCarth\
moved that the county allow the
PUD with a maximum of 10 or 11
homes, allowing for clustering
The motion was approved 5-0.
CHL Holdings' request to
allow one more model home at its
SR 80 site was finally approved.
The company had originally asked
for three more -which would have
made a total of six. This addition


will make four models. The
request w\as approved 5-0. No resi-
dences \will allowed on the site due
to the presence of arsenic in the
ground.
The Phillips Road MSBU was
official\ disbanded at the resi-
dents' request. No actual improve-
ments had been made since the
counh was still in the process of
acquiring easements Residents
said the improvements would be
too expensive if the county did
them and they would take care of
fixing the road themselves. Ease-
ments already deeded to the coun-
ty, along with monies being held
for the MSBUi. will be returned to
the residents.
The next regular county com-
mission meeting \1ill be at 5 pm.
Tuesday, September 12, at the
Cle\\islon City Hall.

early ballot will head to the polls

Sabellas specializes


in custom building


By Kristin Hunter
Sabella Builders has over 25
years of building experience.
They specialize in custom built
homes and do new construction
as well as remodels of residential
and commercial buildings. Mr.
Sabella started his business in
Cape Coral over 13 years ago and
decided to move his company
and family to LaBelle about three
\ears ago.
In LaBelle they have done proj-
ects such as building the new
Riverside Real Estate building on
Hwy. 80, remodel the Bridge
Street Coffee and Tea Company,
as well as building custom built
homes around LaBelle.
Owner Jim Sabella said he
moved his business to LaBelle to
get away from the congestion of
Cape Coral and move to a nice
small town. He said, "We aren't
the average builder. We are more
than just a cabinet or a building
company. We don't build cookie
cutter houses. We specialize in


Custom built homes. We're about
building a quality product that
will stand the test of time. We
don't like to cut corners. We edu-
cate our customers first before \e
even consider talking about price.
We don't want our customers to
settle for something just because
it's cheaper. W'e try to suit peo-
ple's budgets, but sometimes they
may have to go to another builder,
because I'd rather see a customer
\valk out %with the knowledge and
then not have me build, than have
a customer not be happy with the
end product. We try to make the
process of building or remodeling
a residential or commercial build-
ing as enjoyable as possible for
the customers. We are a company
that will be with you from start to
finish "
Their telephone number is
674-0505 and they are located at
110 Washington Ave. in a small
yellow building that used to be
the old Helen's Barber Shop
Building, across from F'orida
Community Bank.

Barron Library is giving aw.ay

old frame building is uninsurable.
It is being given to anyone who can

That little building has been

Group since the 1990s. This group
of dedicated book lovers is now
searching for a place to call home.
The group is hoping to find some-

off!) willing to donate a place with
six or seven parking spaces and
room for oodles of books. The
group has furnishings, air condi-
tioners, a refrigerator and office
supplies as well as tons of books.
They will also need a restroom and
are hoping to have utilities also
donated.

LHS boys cross country
According to head coach Jeff Frost, the LHS cross country team has the largest boy's
team ever this year with 18. They have six returning runners from last year's team. Last
year the team finished 7 out of 12 teams at districts. The team also has several freshmen
that could challenge for a varsity spot. There are two newcomers from the football team:
Drew Dyess and Tim Fromm who should both contribute largely to the team, possibly
moving on to regionals. Coach Jeff Frost said, 'Uose Guillen is considered the second
best runner and will push Stafford." Stafford King is the considered the best runner. He
is a senior and holds the school record for 3.1 miles at 17:43.Caleb Roden, Jacob Sta-
ples and Brandon Temples will also make this team very competitive.

LHS girls cross country
The girl's team is the second largest team ever with 22. They have five returning runners
from last year's team. That team finished tenth out of 12 teams at districts. Coach Jeff
Frost said, "We lost our top runner, Maribel Gomez, due to graduation." However, Coach
Jeff Frost said, "Irene Garza, a new sophomore, looks to be our top runner this year. She
has looked very good in practice so far. Nancy Vasquez, a new sophomore, may be our
second best runner this year. She has worked very hard so far."

2006 LHS Varsity Cowboys on the move
Gabriel Puente and Caleb Jordan were the only bright spots in LaBelle's 28-6 defeat by
Sarasota Cardinal Mooney last Friday night. Puente's 5-yard run gave fans something to
cheer about at the end of the game, while Jordan completed 13 of 23 passes, totaling
121 yards. A long delay of game for lightning and rainy conditions may have dampened
the Cowboys' game. Coach Ron Dunbar felt that, although the Cowboys were ready, the
boys from Cardinal Mooney had experience on their side. The previous week the Cow-
boys toughed it out to a 19-18 victory over American Heritage. Fans can follow the Cow-
boys to Cain Field in Clewiston September 1 where they will take on the Tigers.

Passing through
Lots of interesting ships pass through LaBelle. Most go
unnoticed. Friday morning the State of North Carolina's
new, just built, ferry Hatteras passed through eastbound
on the way from the ship builder in LA to its new home
workplace on coastal North Carolina. It is 180 feet long
with a beam of 44 feet and a draft of 6 feet, in order to
work around the Outer Banks. She should carry 40 cars.
This photo shows it entering the Ortona Lock. The crew
remarked that if it had been much wider and they have to
have gone down around Key West.

Angels" to donate $500 or more
to help under write printing costs.

mittee chose the 2006 selections
from dozens of festive drawings
submitted by children in RCMA
centers statewide. Holiday sta-

dren's art, are available.

season and at this time we would like to inform residents that
we are currently back on schedule and able to do your roofing

feet and have six drive-in lanes
plus a drive-up ATM. The build-

feet of space available for lease.
The office will include a 24-hour

plus a commercial drive-up lane.
The full-service branch will offer
a full range of deposit and lend-

This will surely be the premier

always we will strive for excel-

Area President Larry Hall stat-
ed "Planting an oak tree, one of


the most hardy and deeply root-

here for the long term and plan
to spread our branches over the
area as does a giant oak tree.

ans we have a long term strategy
of providing for the financial
needs of the people and busi-


as the second highest perform-

CEO Steve Price stated, "We
are pleased to be continuing our
expansion to serve the people of
Southwest Florida. Unlike many
of the other community banks in
the area, we were not estab-

our customers to a larger bank
for a profit. Our bank is 83 years
old. It is the only bank headquar-
tered in Southwest Florida with a
long term track record of serving
its customers."

Hi there. My name is Dot.
Ain't this the pits, I have to

dogs. I lay in it just to
aggravate them. I am real-
ly spoiled rotten. I am one-
year-old and have three
more cats I have to con-
tend with. They're outside
though. I stay out, too, but
when the door opens I slip
right back In. My mom
puts us all in the paper to
be stars, all you parents
out there start sending in
pics, there really cool to
look at. So I will say good-
bye for now. Don't worry
though I( might pop right
back in the paper again.
You never know.

Turner graduates from ROTC


Ashlie K. Turner has graduated
from the Army ROTC (Reserve
Officer Training Corps) Leader's
Training Course at Fort Knox, Ky.
The 28-day course is a leader-
ship internship for cadets who are
normally between their sopho-
pnore and junior college years.
College students experience and
examine the Army without incur-
ring an obligation to serve in the
Army or ROTC, and are eligible to
receive two-year college scholar-
ship offers and attend the ROTC


Advanced Course at their college.
SThe Army observes and evalu-
ates cadets to determine their offi-
cer potential in leadership abilities
and skills. The cadets are trained
to have a sound understanding of
traditional leadership values dur-
ing the challenging, motivating
"hands-on" training. The training
develops well-disciplined, highly
motivated, physically conditioned
students and helps improve the
cadets' self-confidence, initiative,
leadership potential and collec-


tive team cohesion. The cadets
receive training in fundamental
military skills, rifle marksman-
ship, small arms tactics, weapons
training, drill 'and ceremonies,
communications and squad-level
operations field training.
The cadet is a student at Mari-
on Military Institute, Ala. She is
the daughter of Kenneth L. Turner
and Jackie L. Nesbitt, both of
LaBelle. Turner is a 2006 graduate
of LaBelle High School.

FPL adds incentives, conservation


In an effort to help customers
conserve energy and control elec-
tric bills, Florida Power & Light
Company will soon offer additional
programs and significantly
increased incentives. FPLs new
plan, approved by the Florida Pub-
lic Service Commission, demon-
strates the company's commit-
ment to partner with customers
during this time of rising fuel costs.
Fuel costs, combined with
increased summer usage, largely
-attributed to air conditioning, have
caused many customers to experi-
ence increases in electric bills,
which have been especially notice-
able this season. The company
plans to begin implementing the
new initiatives before the end of the
year.
"We are committed to partner
with our customers any way we
can to help them control their elec-
tric bills," said Marlene Santos, vice
president of customer service for
FPL. "We want to give customers
every tool possible to make their
homes and businesses more ener-
gy efficient."
The significant changes and
additional programs are as
follows:
Residential Building Envelope
-- An increase in the maximum
incentive for ceiling insulation will
more than double from $131 to
$352. An increase in the maximum
incentive for reflective roofs
increases more than 50 percent -
from $240 to $367 per participant.
In addition, FPL added an incentive


for light-colored roof membranes
and reflective roof coatings with a
maximum of $1,200 per partici-
pant.
Residential Low Income
Weatherization -- There is an
increase to the maximum incentive
for air conditioning maintenance
from $35 to $45 per participant. In
addition, there is now an increase
in the maximum incentive for
weather stripping and caulking
from $10 to $60. An additional $25
per participant was added for
replacing room air conditioners
with higher efficient units, further
increasing incentives for this pro-
gram.
Residential Heating Ventila-
tion and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
-- Earlier this summer the PSC
approved an increase in the incen-
tive per participant for upgrading air
conditioning units to more energy
efficient equipment that will
increase the average incentive
more than 50 percent from
$260 to $400. This change takes
place Sept. 1.
Business Building Envelope
The program now offers win-
dow-related technologies such as
energy-saving window tinting as
part of the business envelope pro-
gram. Increased incentives for ceil-
ing insulation ($185/kW max); roof
insulation ($219/kW max); reflec-
tive roofs $(579/kW max); and win-
dow treatments ($429/kW max)
add extra value for business cus-
tomers.
Business Efficient Lighting -


Changing to more energy efficient
lighting will soon pay more. There
is an increase in this business ener-
y program incentive from
101/kWto $132/kW.
Business Water Heating pro-
gram This new energy conser-
vation program applies to the instal-
lation of qualifying heat recovery
units or heat pump water heater
equipment. The maximum incen-
tive is $881/kW
e Business Refrigeration -
Refrigeration can be one of the
largest users of electricity for a busi-
ness customer. That's why FPL will
offer this new program that pays a
maximum of $80/kW for the instal-
lation of qualifying controls and
equipment that reduces electric
strip heater usage in refrigeration
equipment.
Business HVAC Approved
earlier this year, this program will
soon offer updated minimum qual-
ifying energy efficiency standards to
reflect newer guidelines used by
the U.S. Department of Energy
Standards as well as raised and
added incentives on qualifying
HVAC systems. Business incentive
programs such as the Direct Expan-
sion (DX), chillers, energy recovery
ventilators, thermal storage and
more will offer large increases in
incentives that will as much as dou-
ble. The new guidelines take effect
Sept. 1.
In addition to these newly-
added or improved programs, FPL
continues to offer residential duct
system testing and repair, the


programs

BuildSmart program for new
homes built with energy efficient
features and equipment, and resi-
dential energy conservation servic-
es such as online home energy sur-
veys. Business customers are
encouraged to continue to take
advantage of business custom
incentives, commercial demand
reduction, and business energy
evaluations.
For the past 25 years, Florida
Power & Light Company and its
customers have implemented one
of the most successful conservation
and energy management programs
in the country. In 2005, the compa-
ny invested more than $100 million
on conservation programs and
energy management incentives.
According to the latest US Depart-
ment of Energy (DOE) report on
conservation programs, FPL was
rated number one among utilities
nationwide. FPL estimates that the
electricity saved through these pro-
grams recently approved would
supply 188,000 homes with elec-
tricity during the summer peak
usage period.
The rising cost of fuel used to
make electricity at power plants has
caused the fuel portion of cus-
tomers' electric bills to rise 19 to 28
percent. The cost of fuel is a pass-
through cost on which FPL does
not make a profit. The base rate
portion of the electric bill is the non-
fuel cost of producing and deliver-
ing electricity. This has been
reduced by 15 percent since 1999.
