The advanced technolo- gy coal power plant is intended to meet growth in electricity demand and to address the need to diversify fuel sources. According to information from FPL, the power plant, con- sisting, of twin 980-megawatt units, would be clean, efficient, reliable, and cost-effective FPL plans to have one 980-MW unit in service in mid-2012 and the second unit on-line in mid-2013.

Broncos prance to victory over ECS By Kevin Lutkenhaus The LaBelle Middle School Bronco football team won the first game in school history with a 22-8 win against the Sentinels of Fort Myers. The game, played in LaBelle, saw Jose Ortiz score the first touchdown in LMS his- tory, in the first half, before the torrential rains set in. Coach Gary White and his staff were pleased with the outcome of the game, as the Broncos prevented the Sentinels from attaining any first downs the entire second half. This is the type of defense that the team is looking to play each week. Eighth grader Chris Garcia, simply "played all over the field," as Coach White put it, as he scored two touchdowns and was involved in many tackles; The staff was also impressed with the fans and the enthusi- asm shown at the game.

She was born in Connecticut but has been in Florida since the age of six. She grew up in Winter Haven but then moved to Clew\iston in her early twenties. She received her bache- lor's degree in English first from the University of South ,Florida and then went on to get her Masters in English and Education. She then went on to get her Masters in Leader- ship from FGCU. She started her teaching career in the classroom, teaching English for a total of 17 years.

But Donna Baines can't stop there. Sometimes the legal system, which was set up for adults, can present problems of its own. That's one reason why Donna is the 20th Circuit's Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) Volunteer of the Year. She has taken on some very complex cases and is willing to "fight the hard fight." For Donna and probably most GALs, it's all about the kids. "I get to work with some great kids," she said, "and I haven't met anyone in the program I don't like and respect." Donna's been in the program since 1997, when she responded to an ad for the program. "I thought it was made for me," she recalls. She and her husband, Ron, came to Florida from Mass- achusetts, where they each had varied careers. As a landlord, Donna became involved in help- ing to take a child out of a bad home situation. She said hearing about the Guardian Ad Litem program made her think, "Maybe I could save another child." Trying to rectify the damage done in situations that shape many children's lives drugs, violence, neglect is emotional. After all, Donna points out, "this didn't exist in my world" that is, until she became a landlord. That was an eye-opening experience for her seeing how little many parents know about raising chil- dren; how selfish and unthinking they can be; and how their actions affect their children. Being able to provide some measure of reassurance and sta- bility to a child in crisis is the reward for Donna and the other GALs. Guardians Ad Litem are assigned to look out for the wel- fare of a child or family of chil- dren whose parents are involved in a court case. It is up to the GAL to get to know the child and learn their views, if possible. Donna says some kids want to talk about their problems, but others take some gentle coaxing. As the mother of one daughter 'and five step-children, Donna thinks she probably has an instinctive "sense of kids" that helps her open the child to accepting her help. From there she establishes a relationship with the kids. Like many GALs, Donna has no background in child psychol- ogy, social work or anything of the kind. "Mostly it's just com- mon sense," she said, "and a willingness to do the job." Being a GAL is actually more of a moral and emotional com- mitment than anything else. Donna said she spends about five or six hours a month on each case. The GAL visits the child's teacher, neighbors, relatives - See Guardian Page 2 Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant Donna Baines received the award August 27 at the GAL recognition dinner August 27 in Tamipa where she also attended a seminar on the Effects of Domestic Violence on Children. 2 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, September 14,2006 Plant Continued From Page 1 ditional coal plants.

From there she was offered a job and went back to Clewiston where she taught English at Clewiston Middle School for a year. From there she went to Naples for two years. She started as the new Assis- tant Principal at LHS on August 28. She said, "It is nice being back in this area where everybody is very friendly, patient and wel- coming." She said that she really likes the people that she works with. "Mr. Gilbertson, Mr. Pickles and I have good teamwork." petroleum coke (a byproduct of the oil refining process). Fuel would arrive at the site through a combination of ship- ping, port facilities and multiple rail lines. Up to 60 days' worth of fuel can be stored on site, protecting against supply disruptions. Economic Benefits: *Average of 1,600 construction jobs annually over five-year con- struction period. 180 full-time jobs to support operation of the plant. More than 150 additional indi- rect support jobs in the community. Projected total investment of approximately $2 billion to $3 bil- lion. Her main focuses at LHS are discipline, attendance and cur- riculum. However, one of her main goals is to get better parent involvement. Parents are a cru- cial part of making these things work effectively. If parents are involved in these things at home, she feels it will make their jobs at educators easier. The high school.has a new automated system for tardies to first period thanks to teachers Mr. Bell and Mrs. Blake who implemented the system. "The system is working great so far. Soon, I hope to be able to reward kids for perfect atten- dance," said Mrs. Hatfield.

It is used as an intervention tool to try and get a student to take responsibility for their behavior and change it for the better. "As far as curriculum is con- cerned, I would definitely like to see FCAT scores increase. We're also working on getting more school spirit. The Jr. Class offi- cers have good ideas on how to do that. We would ideally like for everybody to want to come to school," said Mrs. Hatfield. She added, "I used to teach Career classes in Naples and that is my passion. I love doing that. They now use the program that I developed all over Collier Coun- Each of the above emission controls would also remove mer- cury.

I was a peer teacher three times in Clewiston in Criminal Justice, English and Reading." Although Mrs. Hatfield has not been at LHS very long, she seems to have a firm grasp on where things need to go in the ever so chaotic school year. She is still, however, in the process of settling in and learning the ropes a little at a time. I I I0r '6g 6 U .- Go to newszap.com to download and print coupons online!

Donna believes that what kids need most is stability they need parents who are off drugs; who understand how important their kids are; and are interested in them, she points out.

Homeless group choosing design By Patty Brant The Hendry County Homeless Coalition continues to progress toward building a small temporary shelter. The coalition, part of the six-county Florida's Heartland Rural Consortia for the Homeless, is tailoring its design to house just one family:at a time. Stays would be limited to about three days. Freedom Fellowship Ministries, on SR 29N, has contributed use of a large lot next to the church for the shelter. The area is zoned commer- cial, which allows for only a single- family dwelling. With the completion of plans, ftridraising is to begin in October. The group hopes to break ground next February and open the shelter in June orJuly 2007. Coalition meetings are held at 10 a.m. the third Thursday monthly at the United Way House at 117 Fort Thompson Ave. The next regu- lar meeting is scheduled for Sep- tember 21.

CITY TAXES LEPS THINK AGAIN!: It was really an eye opener to watch the city commission meeting for the first time this past week. Our mayor and Hilda Zimmerly could not wait to almost double the taxes for the citizens of the city, and did not even have a clue as to what they were going to spend the money on. They were ecstatic at the idea of having so much of our money to spend this coming year. The city is going to have over $180,000 more this year, than they did in the past year just because of the new taxable value of the property of the city. And still our mayor and Zimmerly wanted to raise our taxes almost double and didn't even knowwhat theywere going to spend all of the money on! PAY ATTENTION TO TAX SITUATION: Citizens of LaBelle, please take an active roll in your city, not doing it can cost you dearly. Thank goodness that so many concerned citizens showed up, it seemed that Paul Puletti and Dave Lyons were the only ones concerned with the peo- ple of LaBelle and had any idea what was going on. If it would not have been for them and so many citizens showing up, you would be paying almost double what is on your proposed tax assessment, thanks to our mayor and Hilda Zimmerly. TAX PAYERS SHOULD NOT PAY FOR TEEN PREGNANCIES: Your front page article on teen pregnancy was in poor taste. Teen pregnancy is epidemic in this area. I'm glad these resources are available but it tells teens that they can have unprotected sex and the taxpayers will foot the bill. Teens should be educated to avoid pregnancy. This article relieves parents of their responsibility for their teenagers. It glorifies teen pregnan- cy and is slanted like "it'sokay girls, everything will be all right."

Dr. Neftalie Femandez, Director of the Hendry and Glades County Health Department, states, "Clos- ing the gap to health disparities can only occur when families and the entire community, including healthcare providers, unite. The time is now! "Taking a Loved One for a Check Up" can initiate the process." September 19, 2006, has been designated as the day this year to promote this effort which encour- ages individuals to see a health care professional on or around Septem- ber 19 or make an appointment for themselves or a "Loved One" in the near future. By focusing our efforts on a sin- gle day, we believe we can help. generate a greater understanding of the importance of regular health screenings while at the same time focus on 'those populations that tend to have the least access to health care. We applaud and appreciate the efforts of National radio host Tom Jovner who continues to lead this effort through his Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day campaign. This year's theme is: He who has health has hope; He who has hope has everything Give the gift of hope, Take a Loved One for a Checkup. . Overview Despite notable progress in the overall health of the nation, many Americans who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups experience disparities in health care. As a result. African Ameri- cans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders and American Indians/Alaska Natives are more likely to have poor health and to die prematurely. Evidence of racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare is with few exceptions and is remarkably con- sistent across a range of illnesses and health care services. Rates of death from cardio- vascular disease are about 30 per- cent higher among African-Ameri- can adults than among White adults. Stroke mortality rates in Flori- da are about 50 percent higher among non-Whites than among Whites. Non-White women are more likely to be diagnosed with late- stage breast cancer and more likely to die from breast cancer than Whitewomen; The colorectal cancer death rate in Florida among African Americans is approximately 1.5 times higher than the White popu- lation. African Americans are more frequently diagnosed at later stages. The mortality .rate for, prostate cancer is about 50 percent higher among non-White men than it is among White men. The diabetes mortality rate for non-White men and women in Florida is approximately 3 times the rate of White men and women. .* African Americans represent 13 percent of Florida's population. but 55 percent of individuals living with HiV AIDS. Racial and ethnic disparities continue to persist in maternal and child healthcare despite federal and state initiatives, and A baby born to an African American mother has more than twice the risk of dying the first lear of life than a baby born to a White mother. What are we doing to cose the health gap? Currently, there are 50 projects in 33 counties that are funded by.

Targeted diseases are: maternal and infant mortality, cancer, HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and, adult and child immunization and oral health care. Efforts must be continued to: Increase minority health care providers. Increase racial and ethnic diversity in healthcare professions. Increase awareness of avail- able patient care services at local community health centers and county health departments. Increase awareness of the existence of health disparities to the general public, health care providers, insurance companies and policy makers. Ensure healthcare plans are not fragmented along socioeco- nomic lines. Provide more interpreters in clinics and hospitals in areas where foreign-speaking individuals reside. Integrate cross-cultural edu- cation into the training of all current and future health professionals. Provide communities with programs that are specificallY designed and targeted by and for the community to teach prevention aid education. There is still much to be done and we cannot afford to ignore the impact health disparities are having on minority populations. Commu- nities must be better informed and take a more proactive role in their health care. We will then see a posi- tive impact on health outcomes and close the gap. Florida Health Disparities in the Hispanic Community Obesity Hispanics lead the state in the percentage of adults \\ho are overweight. (Hispanics 37.3 per- cent; Whites 35 percent; Blacks 31.9 percent) Hispanics have twice the rate of adults \\ho participate in no leisure time physical activity. Hispanics are 1.5 times more likely to have been advised by a doctor, nurse or other health pro- fessional to be more physically active and advised to eat fewer high fat or cholesterol foods. (Assuming that the patient is showing other risks; Obesity, High Cholesterol, Hypertension, etc.) Diabetes While Hispanics have a slightly higher rate of diabetes than non Hispanic Whites, the statistics show that the deaths from diabetes are steadily decreasing. Cervical Cancer Hispanic women have a higher death rate of cervical cancer but the progress has decreased from 2.6 percent in 2003 to 1.4 percent in 2004. Colorectal Cancer: Although Hispanics have a higher rate of col- orectal cancer they are half as likely to receive screening by a blood stool test and 2 3 as likely to have a sigmoidoscopy. HIV 'AIDS: In 2005, women in the Hispanic community were 3 times as likely as non Hispanic White women to be with HIV, as well as Hispanic men represented more than twice the non Hispanic white e male rate for HIV and AIDS. Eighty-three percent of all His- panic females living with HIV.AIDS cases reported through 2005 were infected by heterosexual contact, 16 percent were attributed to intra- venous drug users. Access to Care: In the past 12 months, Hispanics have 2 times the rate of Floridians who were unable to get medical care. Hispanics are 1.5 times as likely to have no personal health care provider. Hispanics have 2.5 times the rate of Floridians who have no health care coverage. Overall Health Hispanics are 1.5 times more likely than the total Florida popula- tion to have a health status of "fair" or "poor."

Stemmle Boris Goldin, a representative of Chosen People Ministries, will speak at Carlson Memorial United Methodist Church Sunday, Sep- tember 24, during the 9 and 11 a.m. worship services. The pro- gram being presented is The Mean- ing of Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur. Chosen People Ministries is an over 100-year-old mission that was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, Chosen People Ministries has grown into a worldwide ministry with outreach centers in Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, France, Ger- many, Israel, Mexico, Ukraine and the United States.

LHS runners look forward to season By Coach Jef Frost and David Mock The first race pretty much went as' expected as both teams jumped from the frying pan of daily practice and into the fire of big time competition. The Ft. Myers Optimist Invi- tational is the area's largest invi- tational with some 20 teams competing from Naples to Sara- sota. Teams range in classifica- 'lion from small 1A schools all the way up to large 5A schools. 'As usual the course was wet and muddy so it. contributed to slcouer times for all runners. ,-. This year t' %%uere able to ttake a varsity girls team and both a JV and varsilt boys team. Although the girls varsity team did not place very high (171h out of 18 teams) it was a good learning experience for them. The team was led by Sophomore Irene Garza who finished 60th out of 127 runners with a very respectable time of 25:38. She was followed by Karina Marines 28:17, Nancy Vasquez,29:27, Missy Olivarez 30:53, Rhonda Burton 30:09 and Ashley Pittman 32:03. For the boys varsity, it was pretty much the same story as they finished 15th out of 18 teams. Drew Dyess came in first for the Cowboys (62nd over-all out of 135) with a time of 20:32. Jacob Staples was second with a time of 21:08. He was fol- lowed by Jose Guillen 21:35, Oscar Tovar 22:14, Brandon Temples 24:03 and Benito Garza 24:30. The boys JV team ran strong and will lead to some spirited competition on the boy's team to see who makes \arsity (top seven runners) at the end of the season. Transfer student Jan Blazek finished first with a time of'21:40. Cesar Mateo was sec- ond at 22:04. He.was followed. b\ Ta\I or Saw\atzk 24:33, Juan Gomez 25:07 and John Ramos at 27:38. Competition for:'the top seven boy's \'asitv spots is fur-: ther complicated by the Fact that three of the team's best runners did not compete Satur- day in Ft. M\ ers. Senior Stafford King returns as the team's only runner to qualify for regionals last \eal dnd ne%\comer Tirir.tiN SFromm and sophomore Caleb Rhoden further add to the teams depth. The team's next race is Tuesday, September 19, at Bishop Verot. LMS fields cross country team On Saturday, September 9, the LMS Bronco Cross Country team ran in its first ever meet, the Seahawk Cross Country Invitational in Naples. The girls' team ran their hearts out for an impressive 4th place finish among eight schools. Leading the way for the girls was Miriam Carranza. Also scoring valuable points for the girls' efforts were: Yesenia Resindez, Angela Mar- tinez, Jesse Whitman and Diana Rodriguez. The boys team did not fair as well as a team, but Tyler O'Ferrell placed fourth individ- ually and Nicolas Laredo just missed the top 15 with a 16th place finish. By Mallory Allen Friday was a great day for the LaBelle High School football team. Many were pumped up and ready for the game. That day the high school held its first pep rally of the school year. It was a great way to get everyone excited about the rivalry game against Bishop Verot. With the students, players and coaches excited about the game it was only time before the players would step out onto the field at 7:30 p.m. However, it wasn't until 8:00 p.m. that the game would start because of the lighting that started to fill the sky. In the first half of the game, the Cowboys continuously made great plays and runs as Bishop Verot trailed behind. Andrew Tovar's 40- yard run in the first quarter put LaBelle on the scoreboard first. The star scorer of the game was Lucas Pratt as he made two touch- downs scoring on a 43-yard pass from Caleb Jordan and on a 16- yard pass from Jordan both in the second quarter. The Cowboys had a great scoring game as they fin- ished the first part of the game with 21 points. Also in the second quar- ter, Caleb Lutkenhaus hit paydirt. on a 25-yard pass from Jordan. Verot also scored in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Gabriel Puente's 73-yard run lit up the scoreboard for the Cowboys once again. In the fourth quarter, LaBelle's Julian Keen took it into the end zone again to round out LaBelle's scoring. The top rusher of the game was senior Andrew Tovar with a total of 147 yards. However, in the second half of the game the Cowboys couldn't hold the Viking's back as they scored their first touchdown of the night. The Cowboys held on strong throughout the rest of the game though. With a tough game and long night the Cowboy's succeed- ed in a victory.

The Cats held up their end of the bargain, and so did Terwilliger. But this octogenarian is a long way from hip. When his players askedhm about his new bling, Terwilliger didn't under- Sstand he thoughtthey were saying Sblink. SSpeaking of old timers, let's take a Moment to recognize Bill Wambach.

Against Verot, Head Coach Shelley Blake said, "The Vikings are ranked 7th in the state in the 3A district, so we knew we were in for a tough match." The Cowgirls lost 13-25, 11-25 and 11-25. "We had a really hard time getting things running offensively. The Vikings have a very strong attack, and it forced us to play defense for Xr.I' Fc.^? ^ the majority of the time." Leading the Cowgirls on the defensive end were Blake Rice, Heather Rauler- son and Vanessa Ostaloza. Sopho- more Blake Rice had 10 digs, while Heather and Vanessa com- bined together for 15. (Heather 8, Vanessa 7).

Blake Rice also added to the offense by contributing 6 kills and 2 aces. Shelley Blake said, "I was really pleased at our performance at the net during this match.

"Heather was all over the floor, determined not to let anything fall!" She picked up 14 out of the 37 digs for the Cowgirls. "I. was extremely happy with the hustle that the girls put forth for this match. The team is very quick and they're starting to take pride in being known as a scrappy defensive team. [Setter] Dani played an all around out- standing game," said Shelley Blake. She not only dished out 19 assists, but added 6 digs, 3 kills and 3 aces. The Cowgirls were to visit Lemon Bay High School Septem- ber 12, and Dunbar High School .September 14.

El dia se observa este ano el 19 de septiembre del 2006. El tema de este ano es: El que tiene salud, tiene esper- anza; El que tiene esperanza, tiene todo... De el regal de'esperanza, Lleve alguien querido a una sita medical La premisa del Dia de Llevar Alguien Querido a una sita Medica es que las personas identifiquen alguien quien sepan que no visit a su medico rutinariamente, que le hagan una sita y que el dia de la sita, eleven a la persona al medico. Tambien el dia sirve como recorda- torio a todos que no nan hecho sitas para si mismos de la impor- tancia de una sita medical. Las personas sin seguro o aque- llas que no tengan buena cobertu- ra, deben de Ilamar a su departa- mento de salud del condado para obtener information sobre servi- cios gratis o de bajo costo. El Dia de Uevar Alguien Qierido . a una sita Medica se observa el ter- cer Martes de cada septiembre. Esta iniciativa es apoyada por el locutor Tom Joyner y la Oficina de la Salud de las Minorias'del Depar- tamento Nacional de Salud y Servi- cios Humanos. Los departamentos de salud de los condados, juntos a socios aflia- dos, ofreceran servicios medicos para asistir con la promotion del Dia de Llevar Alguien Querido a una sita Medica. Las personas que no pueden hacer sita para el 19 de septiembre, deben de hacer sita para una fecha convenient y establecer una ruti- na de chequeos medicos. Arresto El 23 de agosto el jurado de LaBelle encontro a Jorge Aguilar Batalone culpable del delito de agresion sexual en contra de una menor de edad 11. El 18 de sep- tiembre se le dara sentencia. Bat- alone fue arrestado el 12 de enero del 2004 despues que una menor de 11 anos dijo a su mama que habia sido sexualmente atacada. El incident ocurrio en un hotel donde Batalone habia Ilevado a la victim y otras dos menores mas para nadar.

Moble om I Houses Sale 1025 1 Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant Baby booties Even the little boots got into the act last week as the LaBelle firefighters, assisted by the American Legion Riders collected money from drivers at the intersection of SR 80 and SR 29 for their annual Muscular Dystrophy Drive. Pictured from left: Kenny Wirigard of the Legion Riders with seven-month-old Landon Adam Marquith, LaBelle Fire Fighter Tim Allen, Diane Davis, Mel Brant and Bill Davis, all of the Legion Riders. The group pledged $2,800 for MDA. Another crew worked the corner Saturday. Little Landon is the son of Adam and Amanda Marquith, both EMS employees in Clewiston, and the grandson of Hendry County VA Officer Rick Marquith and his wife, Patsy. Witch's Brew By Pudge Lehman I love working at the polls on voting day. I get to see people I don't get to see any other time. Homer Brewer is our deputy and our entertainment. His latest joke: - A man had a flat tire in front of an insane asylum. He proceeded to take the lug nuts off and acciden- tally kicked them into the storm drain. He stood there scratching his head wondering what to do. ivo boys were sitting on the fence surrounding the place and one said "Mister, just use two off the other wheel and that should get you to a garage if you drive slow." The man asked why they were in an asylum seeing as how smart they were. The kids answered "We're crazy not stupid." Speaking of voting... We as a county should be ashamed. The turnout was embarrassing. It takes just a few minutes of your time to try and change things. If your magazines start piling up on you promise yourself to go through two whenever you sit down to watch the news. Save articles you want and toss the rest. This quip from Homer. We were waiting to get into the polling place and the mosquitoes were eating us and Homer took his cell phone out and said "It's time we called in the SWAT Team!"
