By Patty Brant It looks like the only way to save the Old Daniels School would. be to find old photo- graphs showing the original con- dition of the building, the only. school ever sited in Ford/Sunset Park. The school served the black community. during segregated times until Hendry County schools were integrated in the 1960s: Ford/Sunset Park Community Association Vice President Nora Fagin and President Ray Field Johnson explained the situation to the city. commission at their Oct. 12 meeting. The Old Daniels School, known in recent years as the Daniels Center, is seriously deteriorating from lack of use, vandalism and termite infesta- tion. It is the only building of his- toric significance left in the FS/P community and holds personal memories for many in that neigh- borhood. The City of' LaBelle, in response to the community's need for a gathering place, built the James G. Singleton Commu- nity Center several years ago, just behind the Daniels Center. The new center has been welcomed by the neighborhood, being often used and cared for by'resi- dents. The Daniels Center, how- ever, has been left to deteriorate, although the Rec Board has tried to reclaiming it, efforts have not been successful. The building has been left dark and often with- out any form of security over the years, inviting misuse. It is unclear exactly how much of the building remains from the original building brought up from Sears in 1937, but the wood flooring almost cer- tainly is. Some changes have been made inside and outside as well, including boarding over the windows. There has never been See School -Page2 Old Daniels School Chamber of Commerce: 2006 Citizen of the Year Prepare now to save water by Patty Brant ATM's Grant Misterly report- ed on a tour of the, site for the proposed new water plant. He said a very general layout of the plant has also been prepared. The city is also considering the incorporation of a conservation rate into its new water rates. The rate would encourage people to conserve water through-a dis- counted rate while having larger water users pay more. Accord- ing to Superintendent of Public Works Mike Boyle, irrigation consumes the largest portion ol most residential water usage. Last year's brush with water restrictions has got city person- nel planning ahead. With the dry season just coming up, LaBelle Superintendent of Public Works Mike Boyle asked thecity.com- Citizen of the Year K.C. Stanley-Lynn and her proud husband, Richard. K.C. Stanley-Lynn: Family first By Patty Brant "KC is the prototype of citizen that we should all strive to be and because of her multi-faceted service to our community, I feel she richly deserves to be the 2006 LaBelle Citizen of the Year." After hearing these words, read by her nominator Sherri Denning, KC Stanley-Lynn approached the podium at the civic center at Monday evening's Greater LaBelle Chamber of Commerce annual banquet, to become ,the "woman of the hour." "Ms. Denning continued, citing K.C.'s two "best" qualities: her leadership ability, which is straight forward and common sense approach, and that she is down-to-earth, just as willing to work behind the scenes as to lead. See Chamber Page 2 mission to begin considering water restrictions. Last year the city got into diffi- culties when the water plant exceeded its 1 million gallon per day capacity several times, even though its average consumption is only 600,000 gallons per day. Mr. Boyle did not ask for restrictions to be applied yet, but he is hoping to get residents used to conserving now-before the need becomes critical. The main focus on conservation is on home irrigation, which Mr. Boyle said greatly increases water consumption.

The plant is owned by two different companies, Natural Medicinals, Inc., and North American Inven- tory. The fire took 98,000 gallons of water to put out. There were a total of 72 emergency personnel there with a total of 27 emer- gency vehicles including the Felda Fire Department, LaBelle Fire Department, Lehigh Fire Department, Pioneer, Immokalee, Montura, Muse, Moore Haven and Clewiston. The fire was caused by a pal- metto berry dryer. A bracket fell off and melted the propane gas line. The total damage is more than one million dollars. No one was hurt. Grounds personnel discovered the fire and turned off a propane tank. At least 50 per- cent of the plantwas destroyed. The building was a metal building with multiple contain- ers. One of the companies suf- fered $850,000 in losses. There were multiple bags of palmetto berries. One bag equaled 3,000 pounds. Natural Medicinals Inc. lost $550,000 worth of product.

Water Continued From Page 1 mixed use in the back and com- mercial along the highway. Resident Jeff Lazar spoke up about the "deplorable" mess the site has become since the areawas cleared. On behalf of the develop- er, Joann Finelli explained that the comprehensive plan including that section has been held up at the Department of Community Affairs. They cannot move forward with- out knowing what the land use designation will be and have worked with the city to alleviate the flooding there, she said. She expects construction to begin in mid-2007. The city's new planner Shelly Johnson of Boracco Engineering, said this project was sent to DCA as part of a larger comprehensive plan amendment. However, they are now withdrawing that parcel and will go forward as a small comprehensive plan amendment. According to Ms. Johnson, the conceptual plan for Moore Grove and Old Grove will be placed before the city commissioners for adoption next month. She said she is also working on other code issues including on- premises alcohol consumption regulation to clarify where it can be served; outdoor storage rules for business and industrial zoning;' reviewing architectural design guides for commercial zoning and reviewing Florida Statute changes regarding transportation concur- rency regulations. There was a spirited discussion initiated by Commissioner Paul Puletti about who should pay Ms. Johnson's salary for certain servic- es. He felt that developer-initiated services, such as requests for zon- ing, comp plan amendments and the like should be paid by the Students Continued From Page 1 They built a city model, and then each student was asked to choose a site for a building project on the basis of his/her analyses of the city. They were also asked to suggest possible uses for the build- ing that would serve the public realm of the citywell. They were asked to respect the ..existing structures of the city - although -they might replace a.. building like the current library, w\ith a ne\v structure. They were 'also asked to work withinn the-gen- eral scale of existing construction in the city. Through numerous models and drawings, executed.in a range of materials and at a range of scales, they studied and developed their project proposals: Public libraries, civic centers, museums, community center, recreation cen- ter, university research center, pub- lic marinas, commercial spaces, riverwalks, Public gardens, and Parks. Their proposals ranged from adaptive re-use (of the current prison) to new construction -and included the possibility of re-routed traffic and new bridges. The stu- dents will continue working on these projects for the next month, responding to the comments they heard from city residents on Friday -and from their university profes- sors in the coming weeks. These are a few examples of some of the student's great ideas. Daphne Rosas designed a com- munity centered building that sits inland and along 400 ft. of the river. The building both overlooks the city as well as the river. The build- ing consists of glass windows and green panels used to plant moss. Her building is two stories at 18,000 square feet. It is in the height and scale of the trees intended to serve as a great way to enjoy nature. Her building is a curvy structure built around the trees so as to preserve nature and not tear any trees down. The building has a muse- um, music space, outdoor space, extended park, reading room and bookstore. The biggest space is in the center. That is the outdoor space that the community can use at all times. She designed the frame of the building to look like the branches of the trees. She started out researching how steamboats are propelled by a paddle wheel for her project due to the history of the use of the river. Her plan fuses nature with the edge of the river. Isis Dorado's current plan con- sists of-re-routing the bridge over to Lee St. and changing the bridge into a marina with shallow wading pools of river water for different age groups, a public market place on the ground level and a civic cen- ter with meeting spaces and a waterfront restaurant that will be moved to the edge of the river. There is a kids water park wading pool that is two ft. deep, a sun- bathing area that is 20 ft. wide and 4-5 ft. deep and a market area that is 80 ft. wide and 300 ft. long. Javier Sanchez also decided to build a community center. He first identified the center of the city which he decided was the court- house. He noticed that the court- house is somewhat abandoned and not utilized as the core of the developer. Commissioner Bob Miller said in some towns developers are required to set up an account. As services are rendered, money is drawn from that account to pay-as- they-go. Commissioner Puletti suggest-. ed the board look at a method to tack planner costs on to developers as appropriate, eliminating poten- tial "free rides" for developers. Fire department Commissioner Puletti has been working with County Commission- er Kevin McCarthy to sort out LaBelle Fire Department issues since the county rescinded its fire department agreement with LaBelle. The county's action was brought on by the mass resigna- tion of firefighters.over issues with then Chief Dwayne Pratt. He resigned in July after fire- fighters submitted a five-page list of allegations and complaints against him, but was reinstated on August 17, at which time firefighters resigned leaving only a handful to cover the city. The county, which pays about 70 percent of the department's budget, then set up a station to cover its territory, man- ning it with the disenfranchised firefighters. However, the chief again resigned within a short time and all the firefighters again dis- patched out of the city department, but with a chief for the city and one for the county. As of the Oct. 12 commission meeting, the full time fire chief position has been eliminated. Mal- colm "Skeeter" Johnson is now chief of the all -volunteer depart- ment. Josh Rimes will continue to be the department's fire inspector. Chief Johnson told the commis- sion that in recent weeks the department has reinstated its Level III Hazmat training and is looking into purchasing a new fire engine. c (d e F C C c r s C t t I bi t i S( \ s s. s t s i ti t i town. His plan includes trying to revitalize that area by trying to bring activity back to the center of the city. He chose to use the back I part of the U-Save parking lot as his I site. His site consists of 14,900 f square feet.not including the green space which is used to sit, walk or park on. The green space is actual- ly grass block that consists of con- I create blocks with grass growing in the holes for multi-purpose use. The building consists of an outdoor movie theatre with a 60x30 ft. screen for monthly,, events, an indoor, outdoor fUrier rink, game rooms, meeting spaces, cafe and lounge, green spacepark and walk-able root space. His plan also includes a projection for the future to expand community and housing along Hwy. 80 as well. He would like to have all the buildings in downtown provide commercial spaces on the bottom floor and res- idential space on the top floor. Josue Cruz chose the river as his location site. He chose to build a community and recreation center that connects the river on each side of the bridge. He utilized both sides of the bridge with a total of 60,000 sq. ft. or 30,000 sq. ft. of buildings on each side. His building consists of three stories: on the ground level there would be parking beneath the bridge, a workshop space for arts and crafts, a library, rock climbing wall that is three stories tall, boat yard for canoes and kayaks and an art studio with a meeting room. On the second floor there would be basketball courts, a racquetball court and a gym, an outside terrace and the continua- tion of the rock wall, art studio and meeting room. On the third floor would be a recreation center, com- mercial space, restaurant with a viewing deck as well as a possible juice bar and cafe and the final con- tinuation of the rock wall. His building is made of mostly large glass windows so the community can enjoy the incredible view. Robert Cebellos chose to use the existing Hendry County jail as his building of choice. The jail con- sists of three different buildings. The front of the building where the parking lot isnow would become a bus/trolley center. The main build- ing of the jail would become a library and the back of the building would become a welfare building and entrance/lobby into the library. He chose to turn the jail into a library and tear down the existing Barron Library to use as an extend- ed park area. Lee St. and Main St. would become canals as well as an oxbow with a dock. The jail becomes a two level library with a rain catcher in the center of the cir- cular roof. The underground area of the circular building becomes a trolley system to the riverfront park. The unused space around the building becomes a citrus grove to fulfill the historical aspect and mar- ketplace like flea market. Dinosaur fossils will be displayed on the roof of the welfare building that is turned into a green roof for plants. The idea for the building is to turn something that was once neg- ative into something that it positive by adding life with citrus trees to, in a sense, "cleanse the building." The class hopes to return to LaBelle in mid-November with more developed work for a final presentation to the community. Chamber Continued From Page 1 True to her nominating letter, C.C.'s acceptance remarks were lown to earth and self effacing: My husband is my best support- er. We've been in LaBelle for going on nine years," she said, 'but it feels like a lifetime." Of K.C., her husband, ichard, said, "she always amazes me. She's a riverboat :aptain, a fine airplane pilot and Great driver. She was given a nedal in Kansas City, Kansas, for havingg a drowning victim. She loes so much, but her family always comes first." For years K.C. volunteered for Meals on Wheels. She continues o sit on the executive commit- ee of Habit for Humanity's Board of Directors, helping to build 12 homes in Hendry Coun- y. Habitat has recently reopened ts thrift shop in LaBelle and is working on plans to build more houses. She teaches Sunday School at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Church where she also supervises the altar servers. She is especially enthu- siastic about her work with the :hurch because it's one of the ew places in the community where English and Spanish speakers come together side-by- side. Of her many volunteer activi- ies, she is particularly keen on helping out at the schools. LMS 3and Instructor Amy Noone has been the recipient of some. of KC's considerable volunteering skills and said she is always impressed by K.C.'s energy and willingness. Also Monday evening, long :ime resident Joe Thomas had he audience spellbound by tales and quips from Old LaBelle - ntroducing many to its charm' and reacquainting old timers with its rich and quirky history, including dogs sleeping in Bridge Street; two working saw mills in town, vanishing railroad, latbed trucks bringing Semi- noles into town on weekends to shop, barber shop and chess boards and tall-tale swapping at Flora & Ella's. Rhonda Haag, Director of South Florida Water Manage- ment District's Lower West Coast Service Center in Fort School Continued From Page 1 any indoor plumbing installed. Because documentation of the building's original condition is not available, it is unclear if any grant money for historic places could be found to save the building. Ron Zimmerly, who writes grants for both county and the city, volun- teered his services to search for grants. The community is being canvassed for any old photo- graphs of the building in its origi- nal condition. Anyone who has such a photograph is asked to contact city hall at 675-2872.

Myers, presented an overview of projects specifically important to LaBelle and Hendry County: job creation by Acceler8 projects, the C-43 Reservoir and Herbert Hoover Dike renovations. The dike, which surrounds Lake Okeechobee, is undergo- ing some reinforcement of cer- tain segments. The section near Port Myakka is the first. When reinforcement is complete, the dam will be able to hold back as much as 25 feet of water, she said. The $340 million project includes pumping water, clear- ing land and pouring concrete as well as actually reinforcing the dike. The Education Center of Southwest Florida. Inc., in con- junction with SFWMD, recently graduated its first heavy equip- ment class and is beginning a new one. The class provided 20 graduates with the skills to make a good living. Graduates are encouraged to work on the C-43 Reservoir and other projects as they become available, but may also take other positions as they can. Classes in construction trades are also coming up.. Adding to the excitement of the evening, Democratic candi- date for US Congressional Dis- trict 16 Tim Mahoney showed up to meet and greet LaBelle resi- dents, as did M.

BECOMING COUNTY OF RENTERS: As I look at what the County Commissioners, the City Commissions and the Property Appraisers have done to the property taxes here I wonder are they trying to pun- ish the homeowners for owning a home here. Homeowners' taxes have to make up a very large part of the budget. They want growth for our fine county, but they are making it really hard to stay here. Our property taxes have gone up four times inthe last four years. I haven't made any changes to my land, except plant some plants. It didn't cost me hundreds of dollars to do that. I think that we, the homeowners, are paying more than our fair share. What about all of those people that rent? Our representatives increase our taxes every year to com- pensate for all of the renters that use roads, schools, etc. They are so good with coming up with an idea to spend our tax money, they should come up with a tax for renters so everyone can help with our tax problems and quit leaving the burden to the homeowners and land owners. I can see why people want to rent. It would save us about $800 a month. I wouldn't have property taxes, outrageous homeowner's insurance, lawn maintenance. Wow, now that's some- thing to think about. And I would still get all of the benefits that the property owners get. That's what everyone in Henry County should think about when they get their next big tax bill. WHERE'S YOUR HOMETOWN PRIDE?: I would like to pose a question to the people of LaBelle. Why do people continuously throw garbage on the roadways of our city streets and rural roads? It's not like they are not going to a place that doesn't have a garbage the store, the gas station even home, every place that I can think of has a garbage can. So what if you have to wait an extra 5 minutes to throw it out? It would help our town look so much better. So, please be proud of your town and stop throwing out your garbage on the roadways. RECYCLING REQUIRES SOME EFFORT: LaBelle is to be com- mended for its recycling efforts. However, LaBelle is far too beautiful to be defaced with the garbage dump that cover! and surrounds most of the recycling bins. We regularly use the one in the Sheriff's Depart- ment parking lot, that is, when we get near enough to deposit our recyclables. On Saturday, Oct. 14, garbage, including various recyclables entire- ly filled the walking space between the bins. All the bins were covered to the point that more could not be piled on top of any of them. The odor was terrible. Suggestion: If the city cannot afford to hire employees to empty the bins enough to keep them usable, why not quit the program? As it is now, recycables are being wasted, the areas in which they are located are a disgrace and we, as a city, should be ashamed for visitors to even see how little we care about this national program of recycling. There is no excuse for such lack of caring about how we are NOT tending to keeping our city beautiful, healthy and helping with our country's recycling efforts. Shame, shame on us! WHO PAYS FOR THEFT?: I'm a concerned citizen and I want to know who pays the $60,000 that Angela Banda was convicted of steal- ing from the Courthouse. The taxpayers? Part of Angela Banda's sentence stated that her sentence could be reduced by half if she repays the money in full. She is also required to pay court costs. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP: Congratulations to the LHS Cowboys on defeating Dunbar. However, one controversial call by a referee creat- ed a reaction Irom two LaBelle coaches that was unacceptable.

We have some pretty sharp students here in LaBelle. In last week's Caloosa Belle'news- paper, when asked, "what would you like to see here in LaBelle," they had good ideas, and so this article is for them. This week's tip is in two parts. Next week I will give you the con- clusion, Don't miss it! A four-year college degree can be worth a million dollars or more in additional earnings com- pared to a high school diploma, so this week's financial tip is also an educational tip. If you choose not to go to college, at least con- sider a vocational-technical school, and consult with the Building Department and Con- tractor's Board to learn exactly what you need to complete to get properly licensed. Hopefully, you will decide to go to college. For those of you who want to go into the construction industry, consid- er a degree in construction engi- neering. The University of Florida at Gainesville has an excellent byWayneC.Switzer program in that field. First, let me give you some of my background. I graduated from a small college and got an AA in General Education, then trans- ferred to.a large state university. A number of mry courses did not transfer. That was disappointing and had I known about it ahead of time, I would have started at the university, as I could have got- .ten in there. Next, at the big state school I never worked closely with an advisor. My aptitude test said I should be an engineer, but I want- ed to be a surgeon, so I just took the courses that I wanted to take to prepare for getting into medical school. The courses included the subjects of math, psychology, chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology, and so on. After five years of college, I still did not have the exact courses needed for the Bachelor's Degree. Feeling frus- trated, I decided to work full time then go back to school and com- plete a few remaining courses that I needed. I decided to take a job in the insurance business and save up some money. I had been teaching Classical Guitar to help pay my tuition. In the insurance business, I eventually matriculated to anoth- er college and completed another 30 semester hours of courses, and got the CLU designation; By that time I had enough total semester hours for-a Master's Degree and completed two college majors, but still no four-year degree. Also completed the course work and got an SEC security license, plus a 2-20 Property/Casualty license, a Real Estate license, and have 30 years of CE courses, and my career has been selling insurance and financial planning. Fortunate- ly or unfortunately, I was success- ful in insurance, but never took the remaining courses I needed for medical school, and never had the opportunity to become a doc- tor. That did and still does disap- point me, as it was the only career I ever wanted. So, when my chil- dren were seniors in high school, my wife and I talked with them about what colleges they would apply to, and what careers they should consider. To their credit, they were good students and earned academic scholarships. I was determined not to let them make the same mnistakes-that I had made. At the appropriate time, we sat down at our kitchen table and I designed a schematic for them to follow. I called it their College Road Map. By design, it wasn't complete. Neither will your road map be complete. But, by staying on top of it, you will be very organized, and you will grad- uate on time. Look for Part II next week for remaining details. Wayne C. Switzer, CLU, ninjadog- gy@aol.coni. Where political correctness leads us What secrets lurk in the hearts of people? Ponder if you will, but with, the recent revelations becoming public about certain elected governmental officials, it is a wonder to me. In review, I've come to the conclusion that it all started with the advent of "Political Correct- ness", and acerbated with the shenanigans in the "oral" office. As a result of, or in deference, it seems that a politically correct U. S. Congressman died and showed up at the Pearly gates. St. Peter met him and was uncertain as to whether to let him into heaven. After checking with God he came back and informed him that he could have 24 hours to choose between Heaven and Hell, and what did he want to visit first, before deciding where he wanted to be for eternity. He chose to visit Hell first, feel- ing that would be a quick and affirmative way of choosing Heav- 's your world Get Involved en. So down, down he went, the doors opened and he couldn't believe the sensational splendor that met his eyes. Satan wel- comed him warmly and escorted him into a luxurious mansion filled with beautiful people danc- ing, drinking and partying. Within minutes he was surrounded by former friends and colleagues, all welcoming him and extolling the virtues of Hell. After several hours of uninhibited fun and frolic, it was time to return to the Pearly Gates. Up, up he went and was met by St. Peter who escorted him into Heaven in all its beauty. He was assigned to St. Michael, who introduced him to the over- whelming peace and quiet, and assigried him a seat on an avail- able cloud with several other, at peace, smiling, cherubic resi- dents. After several hours of total 'peace and tranquility, St. Peter asked him if he had reached a decision as to where he wanted to be. q He thought for a few minutes and decided he wanted to go to Hell. SDown, down he goes, the door opens and he is in what looks like a war zone. His friends are all in rags picking up garbage and trash. Smoke and fumes are everywhere almost obscuring Satan, who comes to welcome him back. Totally confused and upset he questions Satan as to what hap- pened. Satan informs him, "Yesterday you were campaigning. Today you voted." Sound familiar? Well, where I come from, I've learned that as we grow older, we can learn that even the'one person that wasn't never supposed to let you down. probably will. You will have your heart broken and be disappointed more than once, and it doesn't gel any easier with time. You'll proba- bly break a few and disappoint too, so remember what it fell like to you. You'll remonstrate as time is passing you and your dreams by so swiftly, and as you watch someone you love wither away. So put these subjective; extra- neous issues aside and live like you've never been hurt or disap- pointed. For every 60 seconds you spend upset is a minute of happi- ness you'll never get back! Heaven or Hell? Don't be "SNIOPED."(Subject to the Negaa tive Influence of Other People).:, Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. Respectfully, T. W.

When traveling with a baby always use bottled water as babies' tummies can be sensitive to different minerals in different locations. If your baby keeps slid- ing down in her high chair just put a piece of non-skid shelf material or a rubber sink or bath mat on the seat first. To identify shows or movies you've taped then cut out the review in the TV Guide or newspa- per and tape it to the cas- sette or the CD case. Cover well with transparent tape. Have a family plan for keeping the remote always in the same place. Ditto for your car keys. Saves a lot ofyelling. If an oil hole is very difficult to get to just place a piece of wire on the edge of the hole and drip the oil onto the wire.

What reserva- tions/concerns about the plant do you have? Judy Lapp said, "If they can rule out that the levels of carbon dioxide and mercury won't adversely affect the area then it will be great for the community as far as jobs are concerned. But I wonder, Do they have scientists and quality control peo- ple to keep tabs on the levels? Have there been any previous studies?" Angle Bostwick said, "I grew up with par- ents that build and maintain power plants so I think it will be a good thing for families in the area. It will provide good L%, income and a lot of job opportunity." Meghan Hull said, "I think if it's going to come as long as they have a plan to maintain the carbon dioxide and mercury levels and assure that they're properly -Im - monitored and that it's designed with as minimal affect to the environment as . possible then it's a good thing." Natalie Holland said, "As an educator my concern would be not only to the envi- ronment in which our children live, but to the influx of children coming to the area: C -an our school support the number of children coming to the area and give them a quality education?" Josh Wood said, "I don't have any reservations about the plant coming. It'll be good for employment and provide jobs for families that need them n .- ,,rS because jobs are one of the things that ' contribute to crime levels. As far as car- bon dioxide is concerned, it's here any- way and with growth it's going to come." 4 ~OPINIlON Caloosa.Belle, Thursday, October 16,.2006 Caloosa Belle, T hursday, October 19, 2006 5 Engagements YOU CAN OWN UP TO $100,000 , A', 1 LIFE INSURANCE V Absolutely NO Medical Exams or Questions v Easy, One-Time Premium V Worry-Free Wealth Transfer Payment ($5,000 Minimum) to Loved Ones or Charity V Ages 45 to 85 H Go online! www.strategicquote.com M u' ulj I IIIF1 pl~il111111 S~ratogic [ooteeB 41 Prudeotial Drive 12th Floor cnsunvnile.

With the win, the LaBelle squad moves to 4-3 and 2- 0 in district play. The strong play of the Cowboy defensive front and the different looks in the secondary confused the Tigers all night as they were held to less than 140 yards of total offense. Led by the "cat quick" junior defensive ends Ben Daley and Julian Keen of LaBelle, the Tigers constantly got frustrated by the pressure in the offensive backfield all hight. Both Cowboy ends had 8 tack- les a piece for LaBelle while free safety Chad Lutkenhaus added 7 tackles and a key interception. Linebacker Andrew Tovar contin- ued his stellar senior season on both sides of the ball with team leading 9 tackles. On the offensive side of the ball for the Cowboys, it was run- ning backs Tovar and.

JV football just keeps on rolling By Ron Dunbar The LaBelle Cowboy JuniorVar- sity football team set one goal this year not to lose a game! It seems that would be a unrealistic goal to set at their level with the tough opponents they play but the 7-0 Cowboys are still rolling after their 14-0 win on the road in Sarasota last Thursday against Cardinal Mooney. The Cowboys got off to a slug-. gish start and didn't reach the end zone until the fourth quarter when quarterback Brian Hull connected to standout wide receiver Hobbs Crockett for a 6-yard touchdown pass. Kicker Angel Alvarez added the point after for a 7-0 LaBelle lead. On the Cougars' next posses- sion Co\vboy cornerback Dorian Deas intercepted a Cardinal Mooney pass and it took the Cow- boys only four plays for running back Dadrian Williams to punch it in from 2 \ards out. Al\arez again banged the extra point through for a 14-0 Cowboy margin of victory. The offense sputtered at times for the Cowboys but quarterback Brian Hull did finish with 140 yards through the air on 8-of-17 passing. Hobbs Crockett was on the receiv- ing end of three of those passes while tight end Ricky Rodriguez .and wide-out Dorian Deas caught t\ o passes each. Dadrian Williams did finish the night with a strong running game as he carried 14 times for 91 yards. The LaBelle defense did a great job containing the Cougars all night holding the home team to less than 100 yards of total offense. Linebackers Robert Ford and Angel Alvarez led the Cowboys with 7 tackles a piece while defensive end Felipe Deras added 6 tackles. The Cowboys will look to finish their season goal this week on Thursday .as they take on the always tough Glades Day Gators at home at 7:00 p.m. Come. out and support your. l6calCowobys!, Big Savings on Bedroom, Dining Room and Living Room Furniture SJackson River Home Furnishings & Decor r* i At the Foot of the Bridge '-.--- 340 North Bridge Street ,863-674-0003 LaBelle Submined Io the Caloosa Belle/Shayla Wilson See you at the pole On Wednesday, September 27, about 135 high school students gathered around the flag pole outside of LaBelle High School.

Thursday. October 19, 2006 S__ I___ New Army recruiter for LaBelle area .p.7Qn m By Kristin Hunter James Freeland is 28 years old. He has been in the Army for nine years. He served one year in Iraq back in 2003. He has been to Kansas, Korea and Colorado. He is the new Army recruiter for the LaBelle area, coming here on Thursday once a week. He was born in Wauchula, went to school from K-6 in LaBelle and went to high school at Riverdale High. He dropped out of high school at the age of 16 and started working in construction doing everything from carpentry to welding to building bridges. Just shy of his 20th birth- day he decided to join the Army because he said, "The people I was working with were like 45 years old making the same money I was, never working toward anything and I didn't want to be that way for the rest of my life." He said, "Since I've been in the Army I haven't paid rent in nine years because I get $1,400 for a rental stipend and my rent is only $1,000 so I'm making $400 every month." He said, "Being in the Army is the first job I've ever had where I couldn't wait to put on mywork boots. I absolutely love it. I can lay my head down on my pil- low and be proud of what I did that day." He joined the Army nine yeats ago with a combat job shooting cannons because he wanted excitement. He said, "I was told that combat field artillery was the most "Hooah" (exciting) job there was- so I took it." However, he knew that choosing a combat job meant that if there was a war he would go. He said he fired over hundred's of rounds in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He said they also helped to rebuild schools and the community. After four months there was a rapid change from the civilians being scared, to going into the streets and feeling safe. The majority of the people were happy that the Americans were there and they showed them by giving "a thumbs up." He said, "As far as any other job on the civilian side you can't blow up anything for a living, and instead of getting a pat on the back for doing a good job, I get medals put on my chest." He said, "The army is great because you can train in any career field of your choice and there are 212 to choose from. He said most people only see one thing when they think of the Army and that is people getting blown up on television. What they don't see is that I'm working towards my Master's degree in His- tory. He shattered his wrist on a skateboard on his off time and so he took three semesters of college during that time. He said, "When I retire at the age of 39 I'll get 50 per- cent of my pay for the rest of my life as well as a discount on medical and dental." He can retire at the age of 39 after 20 years and when he Class Kenneth Aguiar, who just I II V n n1 does he plans on becoming a His- recently finished basic training at Ft. Community Links. Individual Voices. tory professor. If he decides to stay in the Army for thirty years he will receive 75 percent of his pay for the rest of his life. He wanted to point out that the reason civilians have the right to talk bad about the Army is because the Army paid the price so that could happen. Staff Sgt. Freeland brought with him two recent graduates of nine weeks of basic training and 13 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT): Automated Logisti- cal Specialist Private Second Class Lauren Piper, who is in charge of parts for all military vehicles and just recently finished basic training at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina and Infantry Motorman Private First Benning, GA. Kenneth received $67,000 for college through the G.I. Bill. He signed up in November of last year with his parents' consent when he was still 17 years old. He recently graduated from high school in May of 2006. Lauren is 22 years old. She went to Estero High School and graduat- ed from the Ft. Myers Academy. She signed up for the Army on April 4. She attended 13 weeks of AIT in Ft. Lee,Virginia. Shewill be stationed in Ft. Hood, Texas for four years. She said, "I loved basic and I would do it all over again." They both agree that "So far so good. Itis the best job I've ever had."

Caloosa Belle, Thursday, October 19,2006 LMS beginning band makes beautiful music Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter LMS band members practice hard and play their little hearts out. The LMS Beginning Band is off: to a great start. Band director Amy Noon said, "They have only been playing for four weeks and they *are already making great sounds with the five notes that they have learned." There are two periods of beginning band with a total of approximately 70 members. She also said, "It'll be fun to see them progressing over the next two years." She added that practice is the key to instrumental success. The complete band consists of a total of about 200 students. The different classes .are Beginning Band, Intermediate Band, Advanced Band and Jazz Band. The entire band will perform at the holiday concert December 5, at7 p.m. "One of my goals is to have the 8th graders continue on in high school band," said Ms. Noon. Ms. Noon has been the LMS band director now for three years. She comes from Henderson, Ken- tucky, where she was the band director of a large middle school band: To find out more about the band you can go online and log on to www.broncoband.org Las Noticias en Espahol Cartel de SCF El Comite del Festival del Palmito avisa que todavia hay tiempo para todos los que quier- an participar en la competencia del mejor cartel para el festival en febrero.

Graduacion El primer grupo que se graduo del curso de maquinaria pesada patrocinado por el Distri- to del Manejamiento de agua del Suroeste Floridiano y el Centro de Educacion tuvo su ceremo- nia de graduacion el 29 de sep- tiembre en el Parque Barron. Todos disfrutaron la deliciosa barbacoa pagada por dona- ciones de la seguridad escolar. Los 20 graduados de Clewiston, La Belle, Lehig Acres, Immmokalee, Naples, Cabo Coral y Fort Myers recibieron un certificado una gorra, una camiseta, un lapicero y otras cosas.. Sonny Hughes, Geri Yoraschek del Centro de Educa- cion y Rhonda Haag del Distrito present a los estudiantes sus. certificados. Rhonda dijo: "Esta clase es una manera de regresar- le a la comunidad la tierra com- prada."Este curso les hubiera costado miles de dolares pero en vez de eso, nosotros se los dimos gratis y estamos pro- duciendo trabajos nuevos". Paul Neumeister se encargo del entrenamiento y seguridad escolar. Las cinco semanas de entrenamiento consistieron en dilerentes examenes de much maquinaria pesada. De lunes a viernes de las 8 am hasta las 4 pm se cumplieron 200 horas ademas del entrenamiento de seguridad y primeros auxilios. Luis Cantu de edad 27 y resi- dente en Clewiston es uno de los afortunados graduados, el habia estado vendiendo carrots durante los tres ultimos afios y mas antes en el negocio de muebleria como director. Cuando se le pre- gunto porque habia decidido hacer este curso el dijo:"Para ser honest, yo me sentia mal vendi- endo carros no me gustaba porque era como robarle dinero al client sin una pistola, todos los otros trabajos fueron de ofici- na y yo queria algo diferenle". "Esta experiencia ha significado mucho para mi. me ha dado la oporlunidad de aprender a rianeiar maquinaria pesada y un trabajo stablee. "Ahora voN a trabajar en la escuela como instructor". Cuando se le pre- gunlo porque habia escojido ese ; trabajo el comento: "Yo hice los mejores grados en la clase. v tambien hice mu\ bien en el manejo cee la maquinaria, !odavia lengo tengo que hacer 30 horas mas de instrucccion pero esto\ deseando empezar". La siguiente clase comenzo el lunes 2 de octubre con 19 estudi- antes. Jorge Roman de 31 resi: denle de Fort Myers trabajo para una compania de basura por mas de un afio y lo perdio porque se movieron a otro lugar y el no tuvo transportation. Jorge dijo: "Mi plan es mejorar mi meta y aprender mas, quiero un nivel mas grande de como manejar un grua de construc- cion pero necesito tomar otra clase, primero debo de buscar un trabajo para mantener mi familia y despues seguir con el entrenamiento". La idea es entrenar a today esta gente y Rebeca Miller quien es la coordinadora Del Centro de Carreras v Servicios estara alli para a udar a encontrar trabajo a los que cornpleten el curso. Muchos de los graduados iran a trabajar en negocios mientras que otros quieren terminar el nivel 2 y 3 del entrenamiento.
