Flora & Ella's has been described as the Sunshine Smile that lures the passing parade, in this part of Florida, to turn in and enjoy true southern hospitality, plus home-cooking that's the next best thing to being home. The building itself is sun- shine yellow, and old oak trees wrap graceful arms around the porch that's awash with comfort- able old-time rocking chairs. These are just a few of the rea- sons that the Bonita Ba\ Group is expanding its Hendry County commitment by negotiating the purchase of this unique LaBelle landmark which \\ill continue to be operated by the Trask Famil\. Mitch Hutchcraft, regional vice .president of The Bonita Bay Group for Hendry County, explains, "Flora and Ella's restau- rant is a one-of-a-kind treasure that captures the charm and his- toric character of the LaBelle community.

Many groups joined the chamber of commerce and the City of LaBelle in a joyful welcome to the hol- iday season. trading post on Bridge Street near the bridge. Through the \ears, Flora and Ella's achieved national acclaim for their tiul\ southern, down-home cuisine. Some sixty \ears later, in the early 1990s, the sisters sold the restaurant but their signature recipes continued unin- terrupled and in fact, these same recipes continue to delight their customer-guests to this day.

The Education Center of Southwest Florida, Inc., has been providing computer classes at its temporary home on Missouri St., while the board makes plans and raises funding to build a permanent campus on the Paul property. The building will be part of an educational complex includ- ing Edison College and a high school. Keynote speaker Rhonda Haag explained the role of the South Florida Water Manage- ment District in the area and its partnership with ECSWF, which is providing training for heavy equipment and con- struction workers for the Ever- glades Acceler8 projects. The C-43 Reservoir, which will be located just west of LaBelle, is. to begin construction next summer. Already ECSWF has graduated workers who will be qualified to work there. In fact, two young men from LaBelle, Jesus DeSantiago and Efrain Ruiz, spoke about the opportunity they have been given. Both recently graduated from the third heavy equip- ment operator class. Efrain explained how important the opportunity is to him because it represents the ability not only to make a bet- ter living but the provides the respect that goes with certifi- cation in your field. Efrain already has a job lined up with Gustafson Construction in Fort Myers and Gabriel, who cur- rently works for the Depart- ment of Agriculture, also hopes to expand into con- struction work. Both men are graduates of LaBelle High School. During the evening, ECSWF Chair Geri Yoraschek and Executive Director Sonny Hughes presented a certificate of appreciation to Terri Nickle of Lodge Construction for her years of assistance in helping to guide the education project. Ms. Haag also presented a check for $300,000 to the edu- cation program, the second year's funding for the con- struction and heavy equip- ment classes. Karen from Boo Boo's catered the Italian feast, which was accompanied by Old World sounds by the All Saints (Plus One) Band. LaBelle Mid- dle Schooler Zena Gatch added a youthful touch as she vocalized and played with the band. Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant Stephanie Weathers.and fiance Mike Dunn had a great time bidding on a cheesecake with key lime topping and espres- so crust for Lodge Construction. The couple plans to be mar- ried next February. Caloosa Belle, Thursday, December 7,2006 Sold Continued From Page 1. Alan Trask: "The Bonita Bay Group is an outstanding partner for the City of LaBelle, Hendry County~and Flora and Ella's.

Mitch Hutchcraft adds, "Our company is here for the long run, and we are, honored to have the opportunity to share in this part of LaBelle's special history.". He explained that ofe of the subsidiaries of the company will manage the restaurant and looks forward to serving Flora & Ella's nationally known pies at..the Verandah, Murphy's Landing and other Bonita Bay Group commu- hities along the corridor of the Caloosahatchee River, known throughout South Florida as The Big River. ' In the past two years, The Bonita Bay Group has made a strong commitment to Hendry County, entering into a long-term partnership with the Bob Paul Family to plan and develop approximately 5,200 acres in the City of LaBelle and announcing plans to develop Murphy's Land- ing, a 187-acre master-planned community along the Big River.

Mayo Continued From Page 1 but that everything was more dif- ficult over there. They were under harsh conditions so even taking a shower took more time and effort than it would normally take here. The military police were in charge of two primary things: security for convoys (transporting the prison- ers) and prison corrections. When asked what he got out of the experience he said, "A bet- ter appreciation for how nice it is to live here; how our daily life is so much better here and a greater appreciation for my family." He said his Iraqi citizen interpreter would give anything to come here. One of the soldiers. was complaining about having three more months in Iraq and how he couldn't wait to come home. The interpreter said the soldier was lucky because he had to spend the rest of his life there. Bret said the worst day here in the US is better thin their best day in Iraq. When asked if he thought things were improving he said, "I see good being done but my point of view is erylimited." However, he said most of-the Iraqis were very appreciative. They don't all hate us like some think. They want to be us. I don't know if it's getting any better, but I saw peo- pie's liveS improve," he said. Bret feels very fortunate that not a sin- gle person out of his unit, approx- imately 150 of them, died. Bret said he plans to stay in the military until retirement after 30 years. There were a few LaBelle guys in his unit. They were John Billings, Josh Cline, Justin Lan- drum and Brian Tull. A typical day for Bret consisted Of waking up around: T11 p.m. because he had the night shift, then eating breakfast and doing "guard mount." He began -by checking out the equipment for the mission of the day and then working a 12-hoar shift at the TIF or Theatre Internment Facility (AKA the prison).which happens to be the largest in the world. It was an enormous complex of barbed wire fence where -military police were in charge of the care, custody and control of oyer 800 prisoners/detainees. He said the military police showed the ultimate in profes- sionalism in an overall hostile cli- mate and very dangerous place. All the MPs carried a 9 mm and an M-16. Bret said he never had to use his.but was-grateful to have them. As Sergeant of the guard, Bret was in charge of 30 military police officers. Sixth grader Suzanna Harrison provided this interview with Sgt. Mayo: SWhatwasitlikein Iraq? All the buildings were blown up but the people there were nice. Would you say that you would like to go back as a visitor or for a war? Would like to go back as a vis- itor next time. Was there one particular per- son that lived in Iraq that you liked? My Interpreter, his nickname was Smith. Were you worried about get- tinghurt? Little. Were you nervous when you gotthere? I was very nervous.

GIFT CARD SCAM: Crooks have found a way to rob you of your gift card balance. If you buy Gift Cards from a display rack (i.e. Target, Wal- mart, etc...) that has various store cards, you may become a victim of theft. Crooks are now jotting down the card numbers in the store and then wait a few days and call to see how much of a balance THEY have on the card. Once they find the card is activated they go online and start shopping. You may want to purchase your card from a customer service person, where they do not have the Gift Cards viewable to the public. Please share this with all your family and friends. BRIDGE ST. IS EYESORE: I believe that Bridge St. in LaBelle is an extremely important representation of our town. I hear promising plans of river walks and facelifts concerning the downtown area. Meanwhile an ancient, broken down 30 year old yellow pick up truck with 3 ft. tall grass growing all around it is allowed to be parked right up by the road in the middle of town with a for sale sign on it. It's a defi- nite eyesore and just a small.example of many issues that code enforcement is going to have to address if we intend to make this a more desirable community. I've lived here 25 years and would love to see this town reach its full potential. Public issues forums Join the discussion of important issues at newszap.com.

Listening to his educated predictions for future premium increases was not encouraging. I was told that the three major companies' in the State of Florida are all pulling out due to hurricane claims. The fact. that we have not had any major hurricane hit Us in 2006 does not matter. They do not want the "wind damage" exposure. The way insurance companies handle this is to send out a notice of non- renewal some weeks prior to the anniversary of the policy., We are all in the same boat. There are a bunch of alternative possibilities that may occur. You may get offered another policy with. a subsidiary company of your, large carrier, using rate fil- ings that are substantially higher. You may get dumped completely, or just the Wind portion of your policy cancelled. Your agent may represent other Florida licensed Financial Tips byWayneC.Switzer companies that are smaller in size, and still write business in this state. That is probably your best bet if you get bad news. I Citizens Insurance Company is the Florida State operated compa- ny that comes into play in fail safe situations. It provides the wind pool coverage. You can get into that company; however the pre- miums are terrible. To make mat- ters worse, Citizens has just announced another big premium increase effective in the near future. . My suggestion is that you con- tact your agent now.

First, I had to pay a contractor $100 for a four point inspection He was a very nice fellow and we both agreed I had a very nice house. Then I received the quote from Citizens for. $7,823.00. Yes, that is correct $7,823.00. Part of the price was $1,055 for the age of the home and $1,000 for a loss assessment. No, I have no idea of what a loss assessment is. The rest was for replacement of- my home which Citizens uses a magic formula that calculates: 2,000 sq. feet (the size of my home) at a little over $175 per sq foot. It comes to $315,100, I do not have an option to insure it for less even though my assessment by the county is well below that. Of course, I could hire an assessor and argue the replacement.value with them. But why throw good money after bad? The only option I have is to leave my home uninsured. I will not pay that outrageous amount. I have that option because my mortgage is held by an individual not a bank or mortgage company.

Webster, Governor Bush what I understand is that the election is over and it is business as usual. Not surprising since most folks,running for office accepted the insurance industries campaign funds. Do legislators think the people of Florida have: "stupid" written on their fore- heads? Don't go blaming the insur- ance companies. They are in the business of making money. It is the legislators who got us into this mess. They created the law that allows (actually requires) Citizens to gouge us. They are the people who pass the laws that the insur-" ance companies operate under. They are the ones who grant the companies their raises in rates. It is the legislators who do not care if you lose your home or not. If I had one wish I would ask that the legislators have to cancel their home owners insurance until they fix this mess to our satisfac- tion. They have appointed a com- mittee to give them recommenda- liohs. It's called The Property and Casualty Insurance Reform Com- mittee. Among their recommen- dations, (you'll love this one) to encourage insurers to take people out of Citizens by allowing the companies to charge the same rate as Citizens for three years. In my case that would have meant Vanguard could take me back out of the pool and charge me $24,000 over a three year period with no guarantee to me that Van- guard would not drop me after that and I would be backwith Citi- zens. Isn't that a great idea! Does- n't ithave my interests at heart? So folks, prepare yourselves as your insurance becomes due. May God have mercy upon anyone who falls into the hands of Citizens. Merry Christmas. Rita Dunne Who has been the most influential person in your life and why? Alan Foote said,, "My wife has been the.most influential per- son in my life because she's been my partner for most of my life; 51 years to be exact. She helped raise our family and helped with our business of John Deere Farm Equip- S. ment. We listen to each other and decide between us. We had five children; three boys and two girls. We tried to influ- -- ence them to be honest, ambi- tious and respectful of others." Suzanne Schroeder said, "My father, Densil, because he had a great sense of humor and positive outlook. He was a very, very funny man. He was also a very love- able man; very warm and -. affectionate. He was a kid in many ways. He was the kind of father that would get down on the floor and play with his kids. He influenced me to be a very optimistic person even when things aren't good." . Tom Corbitt said, "I have to take a B moment because there are poten- tially two answers. I would have to ysay that there are two people that equally influenced me; my father, James Allen Corbitt, because he gave me the foundation in which I .became a man and an apprecia- L i tion for adulthood and taught me what it really meant to be a man such as family security, love of country, etc. But also my wife, Antoinette who I was married to for 40 years and who is now deceased. She is the one that believed in me and she took care of the family. She provided the home sta- bility and foundation necessary, with a soft soil for our children to grow while I was out doing the many things over my military career of 43 years in the US Air Force where I retired as a Colonel." Barbara Kernick said, "My dad, August Passafiume was definitely the most influential because he taught me true love and honesty. He guided me throughout my life and he was, always there when I needed him. He was the greatest man on earth."

S m oka ,F 6 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, December 7, 2006 Goodwill Continued From Page 1 want for a great price including name brands, hard to find.items, or out of date, but still usable items. She says the Goodwill in LaBelle has cream of the crop items to choose from and Rose,has been going there since they first opened. Rose says Carol was not a Goodwill shopper when they met 12 year ago. Carol would sit in the car and wait for Rose to finish shopping. But she has seen the great deals that Rose has gotten and has come to her senses over the years. They now go shopping at all the Goodwill stores in South- west Florida. She says Florida has the best Goodwill stores because of all the new people from up north moving here that get rid of stuff they no longer need and due to all the vacationers that spend time here and then get rid of the stuff they buy so they don't have to take it all backwith them. She even knows which store to go to for spe- cific items. For instance, the LaBelle store is small and therefore doesn't have furniture so for furniture, go to the Port Charlotte and Pine Island Rd. store. For good books go to the store in Venice, for unusual items go to the Sanibel store, for a good variety of everything go to the Ft. Myers store on 41. She said you can find great' things for young children like Rose Maloney shows off some of the great items at the local Goodwill store in town. games, toys, stuffed animals, bicy- cles because they don't care if the box is new or not so why spend more? Also, down south kids only need a coat for a short period of time, so buying them one from the Goodwill is a smart decision because they will have grown out of it by next ear anyway. Rose also says you can buy things such as Coach or name brand purses and resell them on Ebay and make a good profit. She said a lot of people seem to be doing that. She said American's have such an abundance of things these days that hen the\ 're tired of what they have they just go out and buy something new so that is another reason there is so much to choose from at second hand stores. And don't underestimate new items at thrift/secondhand stores because they do exist more than one might think. For instance, Rose said they went to the Lehighl Goodwill and there was a brand new dining room table and four chairs from Baer's furniture store for $199 that still had the plastic on it. Her daughter had a table and chairs similar to that she paid $599 for. So the options are endless. Don't count out thrift or second- hand stores around Christmas time or throughout the year, because you never know what treasures you will find. She said the bottom line is people have everything nowadays so there are a lot of great things that you can buy second- hand and save a lot of moneyon. The Goodwill in LaBelle opened 13 years ago. Over the years they have carried brands such as Gucci, Guess, Armani and Tommy Hilfiger, just to name a few. The Goodwill in LaBelle not only receives items from locals in LaBelle, but they also receives a lot of merchandise from the head- quarters in Ft. Myers. They carry- CDs, baby clothes, shoes, purses and some Christmas items such as brand new, still wrapped, wrap- ping paper, napkins and a few wreaths. According to employee, Eva Fuster, Goodwill is the most popular clothing store in town, where everyone from bankers to doctors like to shop. She says, "tou feel like family here with the great customers." The Goodwill in LaBelle offers 15 percent off to sen- iors on Wednesdays and also offers a different tag color every week that means 50 percent off those items. Carol and Rose teach a furniture painting class at the Alliance of the ,Arts in Ft. lMers. They tell all of their students to go to thrift stores. for their furniture. Rose also said that after Christmas is a great time to go to Goodwill because you have all the items that people got rid of oyer the holidays so they would hate room for new ones. mnewszap.com Community Links.

Christians will readily recog- nize these words as Christ's inclu-. sion of the poor, hungry and "unwelcome" of the world into His church. Shannon Craft believes those words. He has been living them since being saved eight years ago. To continue that work, he and his wife, Niki, have founded a new nondenominational church called The Kingdom Center. Shannon recently became ordained through the World Christ- ian Outreach Ministry in Ooltewah, Tenn., although he's been spread- ing the Gospel for a number of years. He has served as a youth pastor at several churches includ- ing Freedom Fellowship and The Father's House in Buckingham. He said he has learned from all the pastors he's worked with, but recently felt the Lord call him to start a church in LaBelle. Last July he and wife, Niki, wlho has an exhorter's accreditation .hriich allow s her to teach the Word, began Bible study group at their home on Wednesday nights. Since October, the small group has been working on renovating the ground level of the Fussell Building, 720 S: Main Street, Ste. A and B. They will begin their first, Sunday worship service at 10:30 a.m. Dec.. 10 and worship with Bible study Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Praise and worship leader Andy Bratcher' and his wife, Danielle, are very active in the new church. Shannon said their vision for The Kingdom Center is to live the Gospel feeding thehungry, cloth- ing the naked and.to be of service to the community. He plans to join forces with other pastors through- out LaBelle to make that vision a reality. Churches, of all institutions, should \work together, he feels, not be competing with each other. He would like to see all the churches come together one Sunday a month for a common service at Barron Park. For more information, call the church at 675-2100.
