By Patty Brant
Residents can expect to see
some activity on the vacant
parcel next to the Presto on SR
80. Cleared for some time, the
developer has finally received
the zoning to continue its plan.
The 18.41 acre tract Planned
Unit Development (PUD) will
be mixed use, with commer-
cial property along the high-
way, townhomes and some
commercial in the interior.
No duplexes on
Hendry St.

a request by Margaret Whatley
for a special exception to build

Commissioner Paul Puletti
agreed that it is a "quality
neighborhood," saying he
pushed for the rezone.
Addressing Ms. Whatley, he
said he could not support her
request. He added that duplex-
es are wrong for that area, even
though he knew hers would be
well constructed. Her request
was denied, 5-0.

The Kiwanis Thrift Store was

Janice Groves, Executive

welcomed the class and intro-
duced guest speaker, Mayor
Randy Bengston who opened

Pee Wees, juniors

making history

The LaBelle Longhorns Jr.
Pee Wee and Pee Wee cheer-
leaders competed Friday,
November 24, in the Southeast
Region Competition and have
returned with some exciting
news. The Jr. Pee Wees hit the
mat in the morning and made
LaBelle proud by performing a
flawless and exciting routine.
Later in the afternoon the Pee
Wees took the mat and had the
crowd gasping with amaze-
ment They competed against
some of the best teams in Flori-
da and came home with a sec-
ond place trophy. They have
now won a spot at Nationals.
This is the first time in the
LaBelle Longhorn's history that
a team has advanced to Nation-
als to compete with the "Best of

the Best." Their coach Alyssa
Herrera, a 7-year cheerleader
for the Longhorns and a current
LaBelle High School cheer-
leader, has taken this novice
team to advanced level in one
season. She has been a positive
role model for these girls and
has had complete confidence in
them to take it all the way.
Alyssa has herself been to
Regionals as a cheerleader five
years in a row and knows first-
hand how phenomenal this
opportunity is. It has been a lot
of hard work for the girls, par-
ents and the coaching staff but
through all the hard times,
bruises and frustrations they
have come out winners. As

FORGETTING NATIVE BORN AMERICANS: A lot of us native born
Americans are tired of footing the bill for illegal immigrants. They use
our tax money to give them food and have their babies here. They
have plenty of money. They send it all back to where they came from.
When is our government going to wake up and do something for the
native-born Americans?

WHEN IS IT CLOSED?: It would be nice if the Caloosa Belle would
print closings for the holiday season. We'd really appreciate it.

Survey Mania: There is a purpose

By Janice Groves,
Executive Director
Hendry County Economic
Development Council
Over the past several years
small business in Henry County
has been inundated with survey
requests. Whether it is for the
Economic Development Council
Office, a state agency, a consult-
ing agency doing a feasibility
study for a developer or for other
enterprise the small business
person feels as if hegets bom-
barded with requests that don't
do him any good.,And yet, each
and every person that contacts a
business to participate in a sur-
vey has a specific purpose and
use in mind for, the information
they are collecting.
With Hendry County's growth
and potential development many
questions arise. Will the county
be ready for the growth that is
coming? How will Hendry Coun-
ty face the issues that will certain-
ly come forward in the months
and years to come? Will H-endry
County have the infrastructure,

ifs your worll
jGet involved

technology, money, and develop-
ment plan to fulfill small busi-
ness growth needs? Will small"
business be prepared to face the
potential growth and demands
on services and infrastructure?
Communication is the way
Hendry County and the business
corhmunity can answer those
questions: the survey is the
source. It may be time consum-
ing, but it is the.most reasonable
and effective way to gather in for-
mation, especially since our busi-
ness community is so diverse.
Not every business needs or
wants the same services, not
every business asks the same
questions, and one answer does
not fit all; however, a well
designed survey can be benefi-
cial in various ways.
Since July Hendry Coun t\
Economic Development Council
has been contacting small busi-
nesses throughout the county

and asking them to participate in
a survey. This multi-purpose sur-
vey can be the conduit to find
solutions to many of the issues
facing small business in Hendry
County.
Last spring Hendry County
participated in a Visioning
Process through public input
meetings that were held in
Clewiston and LaBelle. The
meetings were well attended by
interested parties and the public
had much to say in all areas of
county and community develop-,
ment. A long list of needs, bene-
fits, and desires resulted from
these meetings.
One way td address many of
the issues that were discussed at
these meetings is by surveying the
business community using a sur-
vey designed to deem answers to,
the issues the public fell needed
attention. The survey currently.
being done covers many areas. It
is designed to include company
information, product services, the
market, the industry, manage-
ment, \ orkforce, technology, util-
ity and community services, plus

it gives you an opportunity to
express what issues are most
important to you. Once the sur-
veys are complete'the informa-
tion will be compiled and a work
plan will be designed. Trends will
be identified with a plan to find
solutions to the issues most
prevalent. The'answers may be
through educational opportuni-
ties, workshops, networking, and
other ways not yet identified.
Many small businesses have
already contributed their
answers. If you have not yet been
contacted expect to be soon. By
participating in the surveys, you
-are taking the first step in helping
Hendry County Economic Devel-
opment Council help you. One of
our many purposes is to help
small business through expan-
sion, retention, or creation of a
business. With your input you
help us to find ways to help you.
Please cooperate ard allow us
around 20 minutes of your time
whenyou are contacted to partici-
pate.in the Economic Develop-
ment Council Small Business Sur-
vey.

After the fact Wishbioning in Hendry

Now that that the "stuffing", is
out of the turkey and safely
stowed in all of us for another
year, I wonder how many of you
made a Thanksgiling "wish?"
One of our family traditions is
to make the wish bone available
to the two youngest children at
the family table. They are instruct-
ed to each grab an end, break.the
bone in two while making a wish.
The one left with the largest por-
tion of bone is supposed to have
their wish come true. I remember
my brother and' I having more'
than one squabble over position-
ing our hands to insure a win, and
the granting of our wish. When

We spent our Thanksgiving months and 8 days to live." Upon

it was poignantly rewarding to while she was there, with the

squabbling over a wish bone. It she would have a facelift, liposuc-

Letters to the Editor

Dear fellow citizens,
Sometimes I feel like God pays,
us surprise visits, just to see how
we are doing. Sometimes I feel as
if He was grading us, judging h6w
much we have learned. It saddens
me to think that this November's
past elections might have been
one of those times,..and .Iam'
afraid to think of what we
received on our report card. It
was disheartening to see so many.
politicians sporting their antigay-
marriage/adoption positions dur-
ing the elections. But it is even
more so to find that the voters of
Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia
and Wisconsin passed amend-
ments that banned gay marriage.
One might .ask why it saddens
me so,'that marriage in some
states is being kept between a
man and a woman? I would have
to answer that that is not the rea-
son. The issue over gay marriage
and adoption goes far ,deeper
than many care to dig. It is more
than just being about whether or
-not same-sex couples should be
able to marry the person they
love, or whether or not they.
should be able to form families. It
has more to do with equality.
It seems to me that too many
overlook the fact that we are tak-
ing away the rights of people. We
are telling these couples who love
one another that they are not
deserving of the same rights as
the rest of us. Even in the few
states that allow civil unions it is
the same. They sport the "sepa-
rate but equal" slogans, but one
might ask why anyone who is
equal deserves to be separate?
Given our Declaration of Inde-
pendence, it would seem that we
should all deplore such things.
"We hold these truths to be self-
evident: That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalien-
able rights; that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap-
piness."What are we doing by
passing such laws but stealing
from our own citizens the very
things we hold so dear? We do
not steal their livelihood, but we
chain them to our own ideals of
life, we deny them liberty by deny-
ing them the same rights that the
rest of us have and we seek to pre-
vent their happiness by keeping
from them the means with which
to fulfill those desires.
Marin Luther Kiig, Jr. wrote
"An unjust law is a code that a
majority inflicts on a minority that
is not binding on itself." How can
we pass laws that ban some peo-
ple from marrying the person
they love, but still allow others
that right? It is very perplexing to
me that in a society such as this
we would support such laws. Did
we not learn anything from the
civil rights movements? Is it not
immoral, even evil to do so?
Mr. King realized when he
quoted Paul Tillich that "sin is
separation." He also said, "Any
law that degrades human person-
ality is unjust. All segregation
statutes are unjust because segre-

gation distorts the soul and dam-
ages the personality. It gives the
segregator a false sense of superi-
ority and the segregated a false
sense of inferiority." This issue of
gay marriage may not be one of
racial prejudice, but it is one of
prejudice nonethe-less. Ho\, is it
that we are not segregating iand
making inferiors of those who are
gay by passing such amend-
ments? Are we not separating
them from us, as the Nazis did to.
the people of the Jewish faith dur-
ing World War II, or as slavery and
segregation did to the black com-
munity of America?
While simply voting to keep
marriage between a man and a
woman might not at first appear
as atrocious as these things, they
are all the same at their core. By
making such a-vote we are mak-
ing the statement that individuals
of a heterosexual relationship are
somehow superior to those of a
homosexual relationship and
thus more deserving of the legal
privileges that accompany mar-
riage. Separation issin, and evil is
defined as "That which degrades
humanity, and forces upon them
inferiority." So one might see why
I fear humanity's report card. We
seem to have still not learned the
Golden Rule: "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto
you."
Yours for the cause of life, lib-
erty, and the pursuit of happiness,
A concerned citizen

Protecting
the minority
Editor:
Reference is made to Mr.
Boland's letter of November 22,
2006, casting aspersions on the
ACLU for its spirited defense of
cases involving state sponsored
religion.
I was taught that the Constitu-
tion and Bill of Rights was drafted
in part to protect the minority
from the whims of the majority.
We all know how the majority
can easily trample the rights of a
few.
Does anyone recall the intern-
ment of Japanese Americans dur-
ing World War II? And there is
always the possibility that the cur-
rent majority could become the
minority. How would we then
feel?
As an infantry veteran and 'a
former member of the American
Legion I thought it was my duty to
defend the Constitution of the
United States, not the rights of a
few misguided political hacks
who want to stuff religion down
our throats for political gain. I
salute the ACLU for defending the
Constitution. By doing so, all of us
are protected.
Incidentally, Indiana Congress-
man John Hostettler, an ardent
supporter of right wing funda-
mentalists, was defeated by over
ten points in the recent election as
his constituents finally woke up.

The Port LaBelle Community
Development District (CDD) met
Nov. 21 at its office on Dellwood

- Scott Wegscheid and Suzanne

existing board after being sworn in.

by both Hendry and Glades County
Sheriff's Offices, being updated on
current criminal activity and safety
needs throughout Port LaBelle.
One of the main topics of dis-

proposed for Port LaBelle. The
CDD requires that it be a full service
substation to serve its residents,
getting deputies on the streets. The
CDD currently pays for one deputy
to patrol in Port LaBelle. The CDD
has accumulated $50,000 toward
the substation, which would also
be part of a complex including fire
and EMS stations.
The sheriff is on board with the
idea of a substation in Port LaBelle,
however, the sticking point seems

more pressure to the commission-

look for grant monies to add to it.
Glades County Sheriff Stuart

He explained that Hendry and

allowing officers from each county-
to work in the other as necessary.

Play opens the world of the heart

Love Letters, a play by A.R.
Gurney, is not exactly what you
might expect. The scene never
changes, although the audience
witnesses the characters passing
through all the phases of their
lives. The play manages to
encapsulate the lives of two old
friends, Andy Ladd and Melissa
Gardner, in their letters to each
other. Just two actors take the
audience through the charac-
ters' entire lives. The members
of the audience, themselves,
provide the additional "scenery"
in their own minds, garnered
from the poignant words of the
letters the two characters read to
each other:
Andy Ladd, played by Bob
Butts, is always looking for
things to make sense. Melissa
Gardner, played by Nancy
McGlasson, sees and reacts to
the world with her heart. The
two play off each other, convey-
ing the changes each experi-
ences with a sense of immedia-
cy, joy, fear, insecurity and

touching intimacy.
The product of a wealthy but
cold upbringing, Melissa's letters
share with Andy her lifetime of
seeking love and acceptance.
Andy tries to please Melissa with-
out ever knowing how, straining
to bridge the incomprehensible
gap between them with his let-
ters.
Melissa and Andy always miss
each other passing through
each other's lives, touching
without ever getting a firm hold
on each other. They manage to
share the high points of their
lives through their letters, the
ups and downs they experience,
muted by a veil of melancholy
for the love they are never able
to realize.
Melissa and Andy go through
their lifetimes telling their
secrets, sharing so much of
themselves but never quite
enough. Directed by Donna
Baines, this unique theatrical
experience is sure to give you
pause to reflect on your own

Figure your telephone tax refunds

The Internal Revenue Service
announced the standard
amounts that most long-distance
customers can use to figure their
telephone tax refund. These
amounts, which range from $30
to $60, will enable millions of
individual taxpayers to request
the telephone tax refund without
having to dig through old phone
bills.
In general, anyone who paid
the long-distance telephone tax
will get the refund on their 2006
federal income tax return. This
includes individuals, businesses
and nonprofit organizations.
The 2006 return is usually filed
during 2007.

The standard amounts are
based on the total number of
exemptions claimed on the 2006
federal income tax return. The
standard amounts are $30 for a
person filing a return with one
exemption, $40 for two exemp-
tions, $50 for three exemptions
and $60 for four or more exemp-
tions. For example, a married.
couple filing a joint return with
two dependent children (for a
total of four exemptions) will be
eligible for the maximum stan-
dard amount of $60.
To get the standard amount,
eligible taxpayers only need to
fill out one additional line on
their regular 2006 return. The

IRS is creating a special short
form (Form 1040EZ-T) for those
who don't need to file a regular
return.
The standard amounts are
based on actual telephone usage
data, and the standard amount
applicable to a family or other
household reflects the. long-dis-
tance phone tax paid by similarly
sized families or households.
Those who paid the long-dis-
tance tax on service billed after
Feb. 28, 2003 and before Aug. .1,
2006 are eligible for a refund.
Only individuals can use the
standard amounts. Alternatively,
individual taxpayers can choose
to figure their refund using the

actual arrount of lax paid.
Though businesses and non-
profits must base their tlelphone
tax refund on the acual amuuit
of tax paid, the IRS is looking lor
\ways to make the relund process
easier for these taxpayers. The
IRS is considering an estimation
method businesses and non-
profits may use for figuring the
tax paid.
Details on requesting the tele-
phone tax refund will be includ-
ed in all 2006 tax return materi-
als and on irs.gov.

LHS boys basketball off to a slow start LHS Basketball Schedules

By Coach David Kelley
The Cowboys varsity basket-
ball team opened up the season
with a 74-58 loss at Naples High
School on Monday, November
20.

Chad Lutkenhaus had 35
points and 6 rebounds for the
Cowboys on Monday night.
Andrew Tovar sparked the
Cowboys with 8 points, 7 assists,
3 steals and the same leadership
he brought from the football field.

The Cowboys were a little flat
due to the fact that 8 of 10 players
moved over straight from football
season with no days of basketball
practice.
The Cowboys played at home
Monday, November 27, Wednes-

day, November 29 and Thursday,
November 30. Lemon Bay will be
a big district game on Thursday,
November 30. The team missed a
lot of easy shots and looked tired
but all the kids fought hard, con-
sidering the circumstances!

LaBelle kicker helps Tigers to 13-0 season

Diabetes affects your body from head to toes. This includes your
eyes. The most common and most serious eye complication of dia-
betes is diabetic retinopathy.which may result in poor vision or
even blindness.
"Rehnopatlh" is the medical term for damage to the tiny blood
vessels (capillaries) that nourishthe retina, the tissue at the back of,
your eye that captures light and relays information to your brain.
These blood vessels are often affected by the high blood sugar lev-
els associated with diabetes.
Nearly half of the people with known diabetes liave some degree
of diabetic retinopathy. The longer you have diabetes, the more like-
ly it is you'll develop diabetic retinopathy. Initially, most people with
diabehc retinopathy experience only mild vision problems. But the
condition can worsen and threaten your vision.
The threat of blindness is scary. But with early detection and
treatment, the risk of severe vision loss from diabetic retinopathy is
iimll. At Family Eye Care. we provide dilated eye examinations to
thoroughly assess ocular health to prevent the development of ocu-
Lii and medical complications of diabetes. Please call our office at
863-675-0761 for more information or to set up an appointment.

Port LaBelle Inn, first class all the way Almanacs

By Patty Brant
Since the '70s Port LaBelle Inn
has been a center of fine dining,
entertainment and lodging. In
that tradition, owner Mike Lafferty
is continuing to improve the com-
plex in all areas. Since taking over
last Dec. 1, Mike feels the place
has again become a "destina-
tion."
Mike is continuing his quest to
renovate all the rooms in the
hotel. About a third of them have
been completely redone all
have been cleaned and sanitized
from top to bottom. He expects
all renovations to be complete by
January 1.
Thinking and planning ahead,
Port LaBelle Inn will have 100
units currently there are 42
rooms and five suites. Mike envi-
sions the additions in two more
phases; They will be placed on
the east side of the restaurant.
Other plans include closing in the
old golf cart area for meeting
rooms; adding a kiddie pool, out-
side eating area and a Tiki bar for
next summer.
Mike is meeting with architects
and with -Pegasus Solutions,
which provides reservation and
marketing services around the
world for the hotel industry. The
company powers reservations on
internet sites like Expedia and
Orbitz. Mike feels his marketing
strategies will "put LaBelle on the

map.' On the Web, people
around the world can Google Port
LaBelle Inn for information and
reservations. -
Mike is encouraging local folks
to think of Port LaBelle Inn for
their weddings and parties all
special events. They are setting up
now for Christmas parties -
including DJs for dances, catering
Whatever it takes to make your
party as festive as you want it.
Looking toward the future, he
is working with the Hendry Coun-

ty Economic Development Coun-
cil on plans to open a convention
Center on the complex to attract
boat shows and so on.
Angie.Hall, the Director of
Property, oversees the day-to-day
housekeeping and grounds oper-
ations Her welcoming smile says
she loves her job and the folks she
caters to. Angie is celebrating her
first year at Port LaBelle Inn. She is
one of the original 'employees
Mike brought in. Angie.said she
can see a big difference over the

past year and says her customers
are always commenting on the
great changes they've seen. She
said the hotel is catering to diverge
groups like fishing tournaments
and cloggers and that customers
are noticing the hdtel has set its
sights on a "higher standard."
Of course, a truly excellent
hotel must have a truly excellent
restaurant.

How about
Maine's Best?
General Manager Donna Saler-
no 'said their philosophy is to
please one customer at a time.
This is Maine's Best's fifth site
Of course, seafood is a staple
for Floridians with a long tradi-
tion. However, Maine's Best spe-
cializes in Maine-style seafood
that is hard to find in these parts.
Donna said their most popular
dishes include lobster rolls,
grouper, blackened fish, mahi
and, of course, sandwiches. Ifyou
have a sweet tooth, you.won't be
disappointed either try Maine's
Best cheesecake or key lime pie
(well, there's one concession to.
Florida cuisine).
Mike is convinced that, located
on SR 80 and the Caloosahatchee.
River, Port LaBelle Inn is in posi-
tion for great things and he's dedi-
cated to making them happen.

Real estate agents learn self defense

By Kristin Hunter
Real estate agents gathered at
-he Masonic Lodge on Thursday.
Nov. 16. Irom 5-7 p.m. to learn
some helpful self defense tech-
niques Some of the information
was specific to being a realtor but
most was general information
that is useful tor anyone. Some of
the techniques were.
Prevention-Be a, are.
Be observant and be cau-
tious. Trust \our gut feeling about
a situation.
Raise your awareness level.
Be aware oi your surroundings at
all times. Don't ever let your guard
down.
A good policy is to let some-
one else know\ where your going
and for how long and what your
cell number is.
Questionnaire of people
looking for a home-Tell someone
at the office and take people's
information and copy of driver's
license and ask what their needs
are. If people don't know what
they \want and don't want to leave
their driver's license may be a lit-
tle suspicious.
Office should have emer-
gency information on employees
just in case of emergency.
Automatic vehicle locator
transponders are a good idea to
have so one knows where the
vehicle is at all times in case of
kidnapping.
Have an escape call plan if
you have a bad feeling about peo-
ple.
Have someone follow you
discreetly to the house.
Hae a code \word to use in
case you are in trouble.
Take someone else with you
i you can.
Have an intercom beep
sound in your office in case ol
emergency
Leave your phone open and
on so somebody else can contin-
ue to hear what's going on
Pepper spray is a great deter-
rent. It's small, cheap and non-
lethal but it will buy you more
time to escape a bad situation.
Carr\ a second cell phone
just in case you need to call 911.
All cell phones, even if you don't
pay l.r them monthly allow one
10 call 911 in case of an emer-
gency.
Ha\ e a spare car key.
If you do get attacked, give
attacker what they want. Car,
keys, money, etc
Don't wear stuff that you
don't want to give up Nice wed-
ding ring, heirloom jewelry, etc.
A PO Box is better because
nobody but iou can go through
\our mail. it is much more secure
than a home mailbox.

Caloosa BellelKristin Hunter
Nikki Yeager in defense attack mode using the knee strike
and then the shin tactic.

Make sure car keys are in
hand and ready to go when walk-
ing to our car at all times.
Look in the backseat of your
car to make sure no one is in
there.
Do not ever get into a suspi-
cious looking vehicle. Statistics
show your chances of survival are
slim to none.
Make sure you have gas at all
times so you don't have to stop at
a shady gas station at night or run
out of gas.
Don't get out of your vehicle
if someone runs into you at night.
Call 911 and head that way. They
can follow you to the police sta-
tion if they want, but do not gel
out of the car. It could be a dan-
gerous set up.
Have a phone charger for
every one ol your cars.
a Carry a bright heavy flash-
light in your car to shine in some-
one's eyes or for minor emer-
gency such as a flat tire.
Things to do at home
Have a male voice on the
answering machine recording
Have male shoes out by the
front door to deter suspects.
Keep one leg out of your
blanket in the case of an attacker.
*Have cell phone by your bed
and in reach.
Have,.pepper spray by the
bed and in reach.
In sexual assault e\ent make
yourself less attractive: \omit,
pee, poop, suggest having HIV
Either resist the attacker 110 per-

cent or pla' dead. If you are going
to resist \ou need to make sure
you are going to be able to get out
the situation because you don't
want to make the attacker mad.
Criminals go after victims
they will most likely have success
with. Do not cower
Out smart the attacker. Get in
a position to attack called a threat
posture.
Panic comes when you think
you are out of options.
Make yourself more person-
able: Ask attacker personal ques-
tions. Have him identliy with you.
It makes \our chances of surviv-
ing greater.
Shock and Awe Technique-
Total level of commitment.
Threat posture-Loud,
aggressive movement
The ABC's-Attack, Back up
attack, Close in, Disable and
Escape
Lse blind spot advantage.
Bring your hand up from the bot-
torn to attack because a person
has a blind spot where they can't
see. Don't let them see it coming.
Knee strike-First distract the
allacLer \ Ith your arm then lean
in to them and give them a knee
kick on the inside of their leg
above their knee.
Shin-Then run \our foot on
the outside of their shin and down
to their foot

Witch's Brew

By Pudge Lehman
Apply full strength white
vinegar to insect bites to stop
itching. Wipe your countertop'
with equal parts
of vinegar and
water to dis-
courage ants.
Before
repotting, your '
plants put a coffee fil-
ter in the bottom. Keeps the dirt
in and allows it to drainwell.
An old, serrated bread knifeis a
handy garden tool. It makes it
easier to cut through roots
when' separating plants to
repot. An old dried up ballpoint
pen makes a nice hole punch
when you are planting seeds or
small cuttings. An old fork
makes a good cultivator for pot-
ted plants or a small area to
remove weeds and stir up the
soil.
If you have a decent sized
garden and like to work in it on
the.spur of the moment, plant a
mail box to keep your tools in.
Saves walking all the way back
to the shed for just a few min-
utes of clipping 0r cultivating.

Slow down for manatees

Florida Fish and Wildlife Con-
servation Commission (FWC)
officers want to remind boaters of
the seasonal speed zone changes
that will take effect this week as
manatees return to South Florida
for winter.
Wednesday, Nov. 15 marked
the first day of changes in posted
speed zones, which include
reductions or increases in lawful
boat speeds.
"There are more boaters and
more manatees in the water dur-
ing the winter season in South
Florida. Although we will issue
citations to violators, we hope all
boaters will comply with the sea-
sonal changes and watch out for

manatees," FWC Maj. Brett Nor-
ton said. "Our objectives are to
protect human life, as well as that
of the manatee."
As the weather becomes cool-
er, manatees, will seek refuge in
warmer water. Boaters should
wear sunglasses with polarized
lenses, obey posted speed zones
and keep an eye on the water in
front of them.
Anyone who spots a strug-
gling, beached of injured mana-
tee should not try to assist the ani-
mal but should call the FWC
Wildlife Alert hotline at (888)-404-
FWCC (3922). For online infor-
mation about manatees, visit
MyFWC.com/manatee/.

me that the various technolo-
gies, such as scrubbers and cat-
alytic converters, were not yet
selected since a request for bids
had only recently been sent out
and the specific technologies
would be picked on cost, not
just performance.- Furthermore,
some of the technologies could
be untested, since technologies
are constantly changing, and
there would be no advance data
on how the various components
coupled to each other would
actually work in synchrony. .He
also stated there would be sever-
al types of coal, varying in
amounts of mercury and other
related elements that would
impact the amount of mercury
released, that would be burned
based on availability and cost.
The technical, in contrast to Mr.
Hidden's, answer about mer-
cury emissions is FP&L will not
fully know about this until it
measures what comes out of the
smoke stack when the power
plant starts running-and that
could change from day'to day
based on the type of coal burned
and how well the technologies
actually work.
At that same LaBelle event,
another FP&L engineer
acknowledged to me that there
would Ibe some relationship
between the distance from the
smokestacks and the amount of
mercury deposited-the closer
to the smoke stacks, the more
mercury deposited, although
many factors such as speed and
direction of winds would affect
.this. He also admitted that FP&L
did not yet know where emitted
mercury would go and in what
amounts Both of these state-
ments contradicted Mr. Whid-
den's claim that mercury emis-
sions would be carried far away,
as the FP&L study of this has not
yet been conducted. Evidently
the potential adverse effects on
local mercury levels \xill depend
on, among other factors, which
way the wind blows
I share this information
because there is a major discon-
nect between what FP&L is say-
ing through Mr \\'hidden, its
public relations person, and the
facts presented through its own
technical people. This discrep-
ancy is known as disinformation
or spin. Sadly, it appears that too
many people in Glades County,
including the County Commis-
sioners, have been blinded by

the allure of economic possibili-
ties, which may or may not
inaterialize, and have accepted
what is being told to them by a
company whose primary motive
is not the best interests of Glades
County but, rather, its own prof-
its.
I want to.conclude by sharing
my gravest overall concern.
about-Glades Powerpark, name-
ly carbon dioxide emissions.
This is not so much a local prob-
lem, but.it.is leading to global
consequences that could
become locally devastating. My
.concern is based on the estab-
lished fact that global climate
change ,is happening and
humanity has a narrow window
of opportunity to shift what
appears to be a disastrous future
direction for the Earth. The pre-
dictions are that, if \ve do not
stop putting out so much carbon
dioxide, the Earth's overall tem-
perature will continue to rise,
causing accelerated melting of
glaciers that hold huge stores of
water, leading to sea-levels rising
at an increasing rate, along with
more frequent and powerful
hurricanes. In this scenario,
much of south Florida will sim-
ply go under water in the next 50
years, while the rest will be rav-
aged by hurricanes and other
problems, such as the return of
malaria. Globally, billions of:
people could die and many
more could suffer famines, dis-
ease, and displacement in a
catastrophe of unprecedented
magnitude. A coal-burning
power plant in Glades County
will increase the chances of this
impending horror occurring-
and this is the most pressing cri-
sis facing both south Florida and
our entire world. In this regard,
burning coal is going backwards
and people need to turn to less
destructive energy sources, such
as solar and even nuclear, as
well as to learn to better con-
serve energy.
As a minimum, if coal is to be
burned to meet short-term
needs, efforts to capture carbon
dioxide in the future should be
included in ne \ coal-burning
power plant designs, even
though this technology is still
under development. \\'hen
directly asked about this, the
chief FP&L engineer responded,
"''e cannot use today's dollars
to bu\ tomorrow's technology "
Economically this makes sense
in terms of FP&L's short-term

profits, but it is this type of rea-
soning that threatens humanity's
future.-
There are many things to con-
sider regarding the proposed
power plant. South Florida is
growing and needs additional
power. Political pressures to
diversify fuel sources and' to
keep energy inexpensive are
real. But a coal-burning power

plant, even one that is cleaner
than most, is by no means a
wonderful thing. Portraying it as
the best thing to ever happen to
Glades County is deceptive. The
bottom-line is that burning coal,
even as made cleaner through
today's most advanced tech-
nologies, is still a dirty business.

Local horticulture professional earns certification

T.J. Thomas of The Palm
Shop, L.C. and also the garden
center manager at Vision Ace
Hardware in LaBelle, is a mem-
ber of a group of professionals
who are FNGLA Certified Horti-
culture.Professionals (FCHPs). .
This designation was earned
by T.J. Thomas after an exam
that measures horticulture
knowledge and professional
skills through an extensive writ-
ten exam. In demonstrating his
skills in many areas such as plant
identification, disease and.insect

control, landscape design/man-
agement and retail procedures,
the professional designation of
FCHP was earned.
Established by the Florida

The program was designed to
increase professionalism among
Florida's growers, landscape

ees: This is the industry's only

standard for measuring horticul-
ture knowledge.
"When dealing with hortitul-
ture professionals, people \\ant
someone who has the profes-
sional know-how to solve horti-
. culture problems," says Ben
Bolusky, FNGLA Executive Vice
President. "Individuals who
take steps toward certification
develop the background needed
to answer consumer
questions."

in business for 5 years with a

specialty in exotic palms, land-
scape consulting and landscape
design. Its services include:
landscape design, landscape
installation, landscape lighting

Do-It-Yourself Ideas

Two 'Antique' Chests
Once commonplace, chests like this were used for
travel and storage. They were often covered with
metal, canvas or leather and lined with paper, linen or
cloth. Those old chests are hard to find and expen-
sive now, but do-it-yourselfers can build two
"antique" chests, including this one, for far less.
The two designs are based on actual antiques, but
the materials and hardware have been selected for
ease of construction and current availability. This
one measures 30 inches long by 21 inches tall.
