By going below the minimum 8 mill mark, the counts will lose mil-. lions of state revenue sharing dollars at least $2 million in road construction assistance; possibly as much as $5 million in total: Commissioners Taylor and McCarthy were inclined to sub- scribe to a plan forwarded by former commissioner and busi- nessmani Cecil Akin who sug-, Economic Development: Top businesses earn honors 4 *. ** ..' ... Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant From left: EDC Outgoing Chairman Deborah Van Sickle with Outstanding Business Appreciation Award recipients Sunny and Usha Patel owners of Best Western and Hol- iday Inn Express in Clewiston and EDC Executive Director Janice-Groves - EDC banquet honors successes By Kristin Hunter The Hendry. County Eco- nomic Development Council Business and Industry Appreci- ation and Annual Dinner or (EDC) banquet was held Friday, September 22, at the Civic Cen- ter. The EDC is an intermediary, between businesses and local elected officials to aid in local economic development. 'There were two outstanding businesses this year. The criteria for becoming an outstanding business is making a contribu- tion to economic development. Sonny Patel and his wife Usha, the owners of the Best Western and the Holiday Inn Express in Clewiston have achieved this. CHL Home Builders, Inc. has constructed over 100 homes in Port LaBelle in the past two years and is currently in the process of developing a town house project. CHL has been an active business, making the community better. Mark Lapp, the attorney for CHL builders accepted the award for Out- standing Business.

He reasoned that taxpayers don't care where they get the break, as long as they get it. He said if the hospital authori- ty did not reduce its village, the county could then appropriate the -mone it had set aside for'its own needs. Mr. Akin admonished the commissioners to "get your eco- nomic house in order" and tem- porarily go back to the 2005 budget, let the current property appraisal deficiencies even out, then possibly amend the budget in January. He told them, "think how\ you can play your cards, then get it done." Chairman Harris warned the coming year will be a difficult one with the county and require a lot ofbelt tightening. City village raised to 3.5 Residents vent disapproval By Patty Brant Residents' frustration with an especially heavy~ tax load this year boiled over after LaBelle city commissioners voted in the proposed 3.5 millage rate. They peppered the elected officials with remarks and questions at the September 21 meeting. Afterward many lingered out- side city hall, venting their anger and disappointment. A number ol them had pleaded with the commission- ers to lea\e the village at its current 3 mill mark. where it has remained for many years. However, three commissioners - Dae Lyons, Hilda Zimmerly and Randy Bengston were unswerving in their belief that 'the additional .5 mill was nec- essary to help the city prepare for coming growth. Commis- sioner Paul Puletti and Bob Miller voted against the increase. During discussion, Commis- sioner Puletti tried to find a way to stay at 3 mills by suggesting the city only hire one new employee and purchase used vehicles a plan which Super- intendent of Public Works Mike Boyle said could work With See Mileage Page 2 CTST looks at vehicle safety By Kristin Hunter At the CTST meeting on Thursday, September 7, Shane Parker, County Engineer, said that the sidewalk on Cowboy Way has been cleared and will be finished as soon as it dries up. He also said that there are approximately 200 signs in the county that need to be fixed. One member mentioned that there is currently no sign at Cap- tain Hendry Dr. Shane Parker, assured him that it is on the list of signs to get done. The Summer HEAT cam- paign is now over. Summer HEAT stands for Heavy Enforce- ment of All Traffic. The cam- paign reminded everyone to drive safely and obey all traffic laws. Preliminary data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) shows that 487 peo- ple died on Florida roads last summer in less than a two month period. Almost 62 per- cent of those killed in vehicles equipped with safety belts were not buckled up at the time of the crash. About 34 percent of the total fatalities last summer were alcohol related. According to clickitfla.com last summer there were almost 39,000 traffic crashes in Florida. The risk of sustaining life-long injuries or being killed in a motor vehicle crash is very high. Always using your safety belt, driving the speed limit and driv- ing sober will help you and your loved ones significantly decrease the risk of being seriously injured or dying in a crash. CTST meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month at 1 p.m. at the fire sta- tion. Meet Captain Emily Ankeney By Kristin Hunter Emily Ankeney is from Des- tin, in the panhandle of Florida where she grew up on the water. She went to school at FSU where she graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in bal- let and modern dance with an AA degree in theatre. After grad- uating from college she decided that she didn't want to go to New York and become a profes- sional dancer, so her "second mom" suggested that she apply for a stewardess position on a 120 ft. yacht that was in the clas- sified section of the paper "to get her out of town." She didn't get the job, but a year later the cap- tain of that same yacht came to the marina that she was work- ing at and asked if she would like to be a deckhand. At the marina part of her job was fuel- ing and tying up boats so she was around boats all the time. She said, "Most of the boats were sport fishing boats except for the one 120-ft. yacht that I ended up on." She was, sur- prised that the captain asked her if she wanted a job after a year but was glad that he did. He told her that she wouldn't have liked to be a stewardess and that's why he didn't hire her for the position a year earlier. So she decided to take the job as a deckhand. She agrees now that she would not have liked being a stewardess and is glad things turned out the way they did adding, "Working inside is not my thing. I'm more of a tomboy." She worked with a crew of five people on that 120- ft. yacht and other yachts she worked on. Three were females and the other two were males. The females included a chef, stewardess and Emily, who was the deckhand. The 1st mate and the Captain were both males. She crewed on yachts for about nine years. She started as a deckhand and worked her way up to being a 1st mate. She started on private yachts and eventually went to chartered yachts going to Europe, the Caribbean, specifically the Bahamas. She said the reason she likes to sail is because she likes traveling, diving and fish- ing. The schooling for this type of license consists of all sorts of things including: two weeks of official classes at the Star Center Maritime school in Ft. Laud- erdale, five days of firefighting school in Davie, FL, three days of STCW or safety class, a physical, drug test and a Coast Guard approved CPR and First Aid course. To attain a 100-ton captain's license you must be at least 19 years old, you must have cor- rectable vision to 20/40 in each eye, you must be able to docu- ment at least 720 days of experi- ence in operation of a vessel, 360 of these days must be on the ocean or near-coastal waters.

However, when the vote came up, it was three-to-two in favor ofthe .5 mill increase. Commissioner Lyons, who had to come from his business in Clewiston to the 5:30 p.m. meet- ing, was late further angering residents because he voted with- out having heard the public com- ment. The audience was incensed, feeling that all their input had fallen on deaf ears. Emily Continued From Page 1 Depending on.the size of the ves- sel your experience is on the license will be limited to vessels of 25, 50 or 100 gross tons and limit- ed to near coastal waters, not more than 200 miles offshore. To receive the 100 gross ton endorse- ment you will need to have 360 days on a vessel over 35 gross tons. EDC Continued From Page 1 such as the Southwest Florida Education Center, a career and technical school, which is a-long term project. The SFWMD helped pay for heavy equipment operator classes from a grant that was helped written by EDC donating $250,000 this year and $300,000 next year. This will allow people to get heavy equipment jobs to build the C-43 project that is sup- posed to be started in the spring After the vote, Commissioner Lyons explained that he had heard from many residents on the issue even though he did not near those at the meeting. He felt the added revenue would be impor- tant for the city to try stay ahead of the growth coming this way. He added that the city has been remiss in not increasing its mill- age gradually over the last 15 years. Commissioner Zimmerly explained her position, saying she had studied the budget thorough- ly. She agreed with Commissioner Lyons that the extra funding was needed for impending growth. She added that .5 mill (1 mill = $180,000) was not a large increase. She said, "I probably wouldn't go out full time again because it's a'24/7 job on the boat. I like hav- ing my home and my dog. I would certainly love to.take a week's trip though." When Emily moved to LaBelle she wasn't sure if she was going to stay or go to the East Coast sb Sherri Denning got her an inter- view with Tri-County Title. Emily received the job starting as a receptionist, and working her way up to closer and finally appiHinag of 2007. Deborah v. wanted Iw thank the people/businesses who have helped cultivate the c..ininm unity because she said, "without the risk takers, economic develop- ment would cease to exist." She said, "The council has continued to develop and grow through an effective budgeting process." The EDC has focused a lot of time and energy on growth. With the help of businesses they have made a difference in the community." The C(I\ a' I.l:'n Commerce' Park at the old airport site is another important EDC endeavor to promote job creation.

Jeb Bush to a message she sent him asking for some form of relief for Hendry County taxpayers caught in the crunch of astronomi- cal property assessments on top of huge increases in insurance rates and other financial strains. The Governor could, only suggest rolling back tax rates or offering rebates, but offered some hope in the form of a special ruling cur- rently being considered by the Legislature about property taxes Resident Debbie Hudson was unconvinced that the city needs the extra revenue, but complained that her biggest problem is the 3.1 mills collected by the hospital and passing the title license exam- ine and working as a licensed title agent at Tri-County title for two years. When she decided to stay, Sherri asked her to come to South- ern Land where she now works as a realtor and broker's assistant.

THE OTHER FOOT: Ikeep hearing from some real estate people about how the property appraiser is at fault for our huge property value increases these past couple years. What I want to know is: are any of these real estate people turning down the big commission checks they get for selling properties at these inflated prices? NO RHYME OR REASON: I don't understand why the city went up to 3.5 mills when we have been meeting our budget and could have contin- ued to do so at 3 mills. It seems the mayor has a serious lack of knowl- edge about where the money goes and what it is used for. I think we should look into how he uses the money in the EMS budget. UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS: I wish someone would tell us how local government works. How can we get rid of a mayor and com- missioner before elections. We need.to do some damage control before then. If we can impeach a president, there ought to be some way of get- ting rid of a mayor and commissioner. TAKING ITTO TALLAHASSEE: I would like to encourage our people. They're hurt, disappointed and disillusioned in some of our officials. We're communicating with Tallahassee and the governor, seeking advice on what to do. I'm taking off that half mill before I send in my taxes. I wish our business owners would participate more in government. HAVE MEETINGS AT APPROPRIATE TIME: I can't see how Dave Lyons could vote without hearing the discussion over the budget. He did n't even hear the part that the millage could stay the same if the city didn' buy newvehicies. I'm checking to see if that vote was legal. We've complained for I don't know how long about having meetings at 5:30 because people can't get to them. Why not change the time? It's ridiculous an elected official, paid to do the job if you can't get there on time, you shouldn't try to do the job. Protecting and documenting assets Some years back, I was work-. ing with a client on Marco Island. He had a really neat cus- tom built home. When, he gave me a tour, he showed me his pri- vate art collection. In all my years of going into people's homes, I have never seen any- thing close to his collection. Original oils from famous artists, and mant of them. I asked him details about his alarm system and his insurance. As it turned out, they were great- ly underinsured. I advised him to allow avery competent property casualty agent I knew in Naples to come into his home and film everything, including imported statues, and other pieces of art. As this was done, he gave, docu- rmentary about each -item, the artist, their purchase pricd, where he bought them and so on. The agent gave him a copy of the film and had a major insur- ance company insure everything at the proper value. Suppose you were to get killed in an automobile accident. Do your heirs know where to look for all your records? Where do you keep a copy of your latest will and.trust document? Your spouse, children and/or your attorney need that information. For example, do you own any stocks or bonds that are not in your regular portfolio?, Do you have a look box? Whose names are on it? Have you hidden things where they are not likely to be found as in your attic? Does anyone have a list of your insur- ance policies? Have you properly retitled ainy properties or chattel you inherited?

Recently I have had con- versations with many people that complain about the corruption of our public officials. Corrupt is a very harsh term and most people would think that a corrupt person is a criminal and should be thrown into jail. The problem is that there are degrees of corruption and in our "shades of gray" society in stead of a "black and white" or "right or wrong society." We have allowed corruption to be the rule of the day. Corruption can be better visual- ized as rust on metal or on some- thing like a shovel or a rake. If one goes to the store and buys a new shovel it is nice and clean and painted nicely. The first time you use it some of the paint is.eroded away exposing the bare metal. If the shovel is not properly cleaned and put away it will start to cor- rode or rust. That little bit of rust does not really harm the use of that shovel but it does take away from the appearance. If the shovel is not maintained and it is left out- side the rust and degradation is much more rapid. If in fact it is left in the garden for an mended peri- od it will become so corroded and the handle will degrade to the point that it will become useless. A properly maintained and used shovel will give many good years of useful service. I am afraid that \e as a society have treated our right to vote the same way as someone that has not maintained that shovel, We as American Citizens have been given the "'right to vote'. We may have used it once or twice but we never maintained it property. We have left it set some where and we don't even use it any more. Some day when we may want to use it, it will be of no use because it was not maintained. We are corrupt. We point our finger to our officials and say they are corrupt without looking at the number of fingers pointing back at the person doing the pointing? When we as Americans are given a right there are strings attached. There ain't no free lunch. There are responsibilities and obli- gations. When we are granted the right to vote it is our obligation and a responsibility to use and main- tain thatvote. More than two thirds: of ;he voters have not exercised their right to vote so far this year. What is wrong with this picture . Respectfully, FranKoebert -Retired, Voter, Taxpayer, American Citizen Guest Commentary. Is Glades Power Park in the Sunshine? On September 22, 2006, a meeting was held at the Ortona Community Association to dis- cuss the FPL proposal to build Glades Power Park, a large coal- burning power plant, within Glades County. Wendell Taylor, Glades Counts Mlanager, and Grover VWhidden, FPL spokesperson, both presented on this topic and then addressed questions posed by the audi- ence. Mr. Taylor introduced this proposal as involving the largest and most important project that had ever come before Glades County. Several people in the audi- ence raised questions about the way in which the Glades County Board of County Commissioners had made its decision to support Glades Power Park potentially being built in Glades County. Specifically, this item was not placed on the published agenda for a recent meeting of the Glades County Board of County Commissioners and was only added as a last-minute amend- ment to the agenda during the meeting, which precluded the public's participation. And the Glades County commissioners unanimously voted in support of the Glades Power Park proposal without the benefit of citizens' input. Some people in the audience questioned whether there had been any prior meetings between Glades County com- missioners and FPL representa- tives that had occurred in secret. Mr. Taylor assured the audience that no meetings between Glades County and FPL had ever involved more than one com- missioner at a time and that the county's actions were complete- ly in accord with the Sunshine Law, which requires that govern- ment be conducted openly. However, toward the end of the meeting, I asked very point- edly why the Glades County Board of County Commissioners had not provided the public ade- quate notice that this issue, described by Mr. Taylor as being of such momentous importance to the county, would be dis- cussed and decided. Interestingly, my question t's your world Get Involvedd was ignored and there was an attempt to go to the next ques- tion vithlhout addressing mine. I1 interrupted and demanded that an answer be provided to my question. I was then simply told that there was no answer. This leads me to consider the Sunshine Law. First, however, I want to state that I am not an attorney and do not claim to ade- quately be able to interpret the nuances of this complex law. However, I have served on a number of government boards and consequently have received some training on this law. There- fore, I would like to share some statements found in Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual (Retrieved on 9/23.2006 from F852566F300582C91>), as fol- lows: "The Attorney General's Office recommends publication of an agenda, if available, in the notice of the meeting; if an agen- da is not available, subject mat- ter summations might be used. However, the courts have held that the Sunshine Law does not mandate that an agency provide notice of each item to be dis- cussed via a published agenda. Such a specific requirement has been rejected because it could effectively preclude access to greetings by members of the general public who wish to bring specific issues before a govern- mental body Thus, the Sunshine Law has been interpreted to require notice of meetings, not of the individual items which may be considered at that meet- ing. However, other statutes, codes or ordinances may impose such a requirement and agencies subject to those provi- sions must follow them. Accord- ingly, the Sunshine Law does not require boards to consider only those matters on a published agenda. Moreover, even though the Sunshine Law does not pro- hibit a board from adding topics to the agenda of a regularly noticed meeting, the Attorney General's Office has advised boards to postpone formal action on any added items that are controversial." This Manual then goes on to share an opinion by the Attorney General's Office on a similar case (AGO 03-53), as follows: "In the spirit of the Sunshine Law, the city commis- sion should be sensitive to the community's concerns that it be allowed advance notice and, therefore, meaningful participa- tion on controversial issues com- ing before the commission." I do not know whether or not the Glades County Board of County Commissioners might have violated the Sunshine Law by not putting such a controver- sial and important item on its meeting's published agenda and thus disallowing its citizens' input. A judge would have to decide that issue if someone wanted to pursue making a complaint. However, it surely seems to me that the intent, if not the letter, of the Sunshine Law was violated. I believe the decision-making process used by the Glades County commis- sioners resulted in the public being very poorly served by its representatives in this extremely important matter. Thankfully, this is just the starting point for other opportu- nities to consider the pros and cons of the Glades Power Park proposal. There will be many hearings and administrative pro- cedures that will allow for the public to carefully scrutinize this proposal, the most stringent being the Florida Department of Environmental Protection processes that are governed through the Power Plant Siting Act. I hope all Glades County citi- zens will become thoughtfully involved in this process, as the ultimate approval of Glades Power Park will affect the future of Glades County in profound, and not yet fully understood, ways. I want to end by briefly shar- ing some of my reservations about the Glades Power Park proposal. Burning coal is an extremely dirty endeavor and the best that can be expected from advanced technology is to make it less dirty. Hopefully nobody is naive enough to really believe that there will be absolutely no nega- tive consequences to having a coal-burning power plant in Glades County, particularly in regard to environmental degra- dation and adverse public health consequences. In addition, it appears that this power plant could literally be one of the largest, if not the largest, coal burning plants in the US and the amount of coal processed relates to the amount of its dele- terious impact. On the other hand, there is little doubt that Glades Power Park could pro- vide short-term economic boosts to the county, which are sorely needed. But the long-term economic consequences of this proposal are unclear. Remem- ber, Glades County's main asset is its pristine beauty, as.reflected in natural jewels such as Fisheat- ing Creek only a few miles from the proposed power plant. I believe the county has a promis- ing future based on its natural assets and this future could be squandered by seeking short- term gain that pollutes our pre- cious environment and spoils our long-term quality of life. Sim- ply put, who would want to live or visit, or locate any business other than a garbage dump or prison, in a county with signifi- cant air pollution? This proposal is obviously an extremely com- plex issue deserving careful study and, above all, open debate in which weighing the relative advantages of potential economic growth against poten- tial environmental and public health costs have to be carefully considered. I am not sure whether or not the Glades County Board of County Commissioners made the right decision in supporting the proposal to build Glades Power Park, though I suspect they did not. I do know that tak- ing this action without properly giving notice to the public and allowing citizens' input was a mistake.

The Llelle offense finally came to life in the third quarter after a key . ': i Ir interception by senior free safety start of the 4th quarter.

For the second week in a row the young Cowboys used a strong second half comeback to give the Brahmans their first loss of the sea- son. Cowboy kick returned Dorian Deas scored the only points in the first half for LaBelle on a 68-yard scamper to the end zone. Angel Alvarez added the extra point attempt but watched his team- mates fall behind 20-7 as they headed to the locker room to regroup for the second half. As the third quarter began you could once again tell there was a different attitude on the Cowboy side line. The LaBelle defense then took control of the game and the offense lit up the scoreboard like it was the Fourth of July! Quarterback Brian Hull and wide receiver Hobbs Crockett teamed up for three touchdown passes of 18, 14 and 13 yards to shock the visiting Brahmans. Alvarez added two of three extra points and then the Cowboy defense held off a late Okeechobee drive to seal the victory.

Once again weather condi- tions contributed to slower than normal times, as rain showers drenched the course shortly after the start of the race. Brooke Norris ran a strong race and was the first Cowgirl to finish (2nd runner over-all) with a time of 27:11. Karina Marines was next in with 28:29 (5th over-all). Irene Garza was the third LaBelle runner in and 7th over-all with a time of 29:22. Unfortunately, Irene who had been leading the race almost the entire way, made a wrong turn at the end and it cost her. The girls would get a chance at redemption as they hosted Verot, Clewiston and Lake Placid on September 26. The following girls completed the scoring for LaBelle: Shavla Wilson 30:21, Nancy Vasquez 30:31, Rhonda Burton 30:38, Jordan Walls31:28. Congratulations to. following girls who ran well and competed in their first race: Kim Alexander, Danielle Bennett, Vanessa Cantu, Emily Hull, Olivia Luckey, Laura Munoz, Ashley Pittman and Rox- anna Razo.
