A drive down SR 80 had dense oak and undergrowth along most of the east side of town. The old one- room chamber of commerce building was replaced with a lovely little building that compliments the Courthouse; the old gas stations at SR 80 and Bridge Street and across from the Courthouse are gone and the sites cleaned up environmen- tally. The new Olde Cypress Bank building and Nationwide insur- ance building have taken their places and there's talk of a veterans memorial on the small park area at SR 80 and Main St. Just across Main Street, the beloved old Trad- ing Post is long gone, replaced by a strip mall. LaBelle now has a full array of fast food restaurants and real estate offices are popping up like mushrooms. Devils Garden Road is now Cowboy Way and has opened up to commercial establishments and government buildings. LaBelle got a new health depart- ment (moved from the A frame on Bridge Street). Winn-Dixie moved from Lee Street to SR 29 and Cow- boy Way, a Save A Lot is in the Winn-Dixie's old place and the U- Save changed directions altogeth- er- rotating 90 degrees from facing Bridge Street to the east to facing SR 80 on the south. Shelly Johnson was hired as the city's planner last September. She has 14 years experience, with Barroco and Associates. Her job is to check proposed plans for com- SCF: It's all about fun pliance with all city regulations and the comp plan and to make sure developers have functional site plans with no public safety or traffic circulation issues. The comprehensive plan is a long range planning policy to guide development of the city which meets the community's vision of its future. She said LaBelle has a good plan that heeds the message from the community - to preserve the small town charm LaBelle has always been noted for, but accommodate more development with services and an expanding economy. The horizon promises lots more development to come. Wal- Mart has dibs on property just west of LaBelle. Many "in the know" feel that Wal-Mart will be the trigger that really opens the flood gates to commercial devel- opment. Wal-Mart is not a done deal, and may take several more years before it comes in. So, what's happening in the meantime? Next week: inside the city limits. FPL anxiety surfaces By Patty Brant There was some grumbling in the county commission chambers Tuesday evening when discussion was limited during a one-hour workshop on Florida Power & Light's pro- posed Glades Power Plant. The workshop took place right before the 5 p.m. regular com- mission meeting. Plans for the controversial coal burning power plant would include two connection sites in Hendry County a proposed site in northern Hendry and an exist- ing site at the southern end of the county. One of the transmission line routes follows CR 835. Several Big Cyp.ress Reservation resi- dents spoke including Rhonda Roff. Ms. Roff had concerns about how much electromag- netic activity children on school buses would be exposed to Not a squeamish bone in eight-year-old Emily Higgonbotham!

Youth excel at steer show By Sonja Crawford The PeeWee Calf Show and Market Steer Show, sponsored by Triangle Chemical Compa- ny, was held on Tuesday, Feb., 13, at the LaBelle Rodeo Grounds. The show consisted of fifteen pee wee calf exhibitors and fifteen 4-H members exhibiting their steers ranging from 1090 pounds to 1365 pounds. Mr. Larry Barthle of San Antonio, Florida, was the offi- cial judge for the evening. The steers were judged on muscling, correctness of fin- ish, balance, capacity, size, as well as carcass desirability. Pee Wee exhibitors Cutter Cochran, Wyatt Corbitt, Ethan Cox, Blake Crawford, Brent Hicks, Taylor McGill, Paul Mor- rison, Lane Murray, Jordyn Perkins, Marshall Platt, Adam Reinbott, Zachary Tanner, Kinzie Tindall, Windall Tindall, and Carl Willis had fun exhibit- ing their calves as well as answering the judges ques- tions. Cody I-ollingsworth cap- tured Grand Champion with his 1,288 pound steer. Cody is a member of the A-I Steer 4-H Club. Receiving the Reserve Champion award was Kyle Davidson who is also a menm- ber of the A-I Steer 4-H Club. Kyle's steer weighed in at 1,153 pounds. Cody and Kyle received the Grand and Reserved Champion Hendry County Bred Steer Plaque, respectively. Both calves were purchased from A. Duda & Sons of LaBelle. In order to achieve the honor of receiving the Hendry County Bred Grand and Reserve Champion Steer, the steer had to be born in Hendry County or from a pro- ducer who is a member of the Hendry County Cattlemens Association. After the placing of the steers came the Showmanship category. Showmanship is judged on the ability to exhibit an animal to its best advan- tage, as well as the overall care and training of the animal. The exhibitors are judged on con- See Show Page 2 and the possibility of it causing certain types of cancer. She provided the commissioners with reports on the status of pertinent regulations on elec- tromagnetic lines. FP&L representatives responded that, to date, there is no proof that electromagnet- ism causes health problems, but that the proposed corridor would not include the road right-of-way.

Kirk Jameson, who spoke out about the issue during the Feb. 13 Hendry County Board of Commissioners meeting, said the plan has several faults that could keep it from working how it should. At the heart of the issue, Judge Sloan said, is the sky- rocketing expense of keeping an inmate incarcerated. With each inmate costing the county an estimated $18,200 per year, the judge said a program to closely monitor the would-be inmates could help the county realize savings. The judge is proposing an intensive supervisory program that would release inmates until their trial date. The program would be funded partly by fees charged to the inmates, the rest paid for by taxes. Judge Sloan said not all inmates would be eligible for release he is continuing to set the parameters for who would and would not qualify for release and even then, the See Crowding Page 2 Submitted photos/Sonja Crawford Cody Hollingsworth with his parents Marilyn and Ernie and his Grand Champion Steer. .Ucrwu:~h"C~~^ -LLnWIIIII~~-L~P*-I-~L U~Xi~~Zdl*C~~*I~W1S~* '' r~L I*C t.1- :,- -, "., --a -IU WIIU I IN~i~ i 2 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, March 1,2007 Anxiety Continued From Page 1 concerns about plans to use sur- face water for processing. lie S added that a resolution of support for the project from Hendry County would be "premature." Later, at the regular commis- ' sion meeting, the board agreed that the proposed lines meet the county's general zoning ordi- nances although there are several issues with airport criteria. Those issues can be addressed later. The county was required to submit the paperwork by March 12.

"Those defendants will have to be in constant contact with case management personnel," the judge said in a telephone inter- view last week. But Judge Sloan understands that the program would not solve the problem, but help to alleviate some of the burden of the prison system. The county stands to save more than $500,000 if the pro- gram is adopted by county com- missioners, the judge said. Some, however, don't think releasing inmates is a viable solu- tion. Mr. Jameson argued that the local prison is more directly affected by the backlog of cases that are the result of not having enough judges and state attor- neys to handle the proceedings. Judge Sloan, meanwhile, agrees. "I totally agree with Mr. Jame- son that we don't have enough judges and state attorneys," said the judge, "but that is not up to me to decide." Regarding having inmates pay for the services of the proposed program, Mr. Jameson who potentially stands to lose some of his bail bondsman business to inmates opting for the judge's proposal doesn't see that hap- pening. "Most of the time, the defen- dant can't even afford the bond," e Grand Champion Steer. appearance will assist the exhibitor in being successful. Winning the Senior Show- manship buckle was Erin Zim- merly with Miranda Steed in second place receiving a trophy. Kyle Franco took first place in the Junior Showmanship divi- Mr. Jameson said. "What makes the judge think they can afford this service?" Due to the nature of the inmates having to wait to find out whether the judge will let them take advantage of the program, most inmates will most likely still post bond before he ever sees them, the judge said. Instead, the program may end up helping people who don't have the means to post bond "but don't need to be sitting in jail, taking the space of a more dangerous individual," the judge said. Judge Sloan said he took two days working closely with staff to pore over detailed information regarding the number of inmates in jail for first-, second- and third- degree felonies, and misde- meanors, in an effort to find a long-term solution to the issue. Mr. Jameson finds fault in that. "All the time he spent working on this program, he could have been spending it adjudicating court cases and saving the county money," Mr. Jameson told com- missioners. County Attorney Mark Lapp, currently serving as interim coun- ty administrator, is expected to meet with Judge Sloan to discuss the issue. The proposal is expect- ed to be brought back to county commissioners for final consider- ation at a future meeting. In any event, the judge said he simply wanted to help. "This is something I did to help the county and Sheriff Depart- ment to solve the problem," Judge Sloan said. "This will not affect my job whether the board Submitted photos/Teresa Hamil sion winning a belt buckle with Katelyn Thorn achieving the second place trophy.

I simply wanted to help since I too live here in Hendry County." Staff writer Ideybis Gonzalez can be reached at igonzalez@newszap.com. S. ,. .

BAD CHOICE: Why, oh why did the SCF committee elect to put porta-potties all along the river instead of allowing people to see the loveliest feature of LaBelle? GOOD SAMARITAN: I would like to thank Eric from Ft. Denaud. He was kind enough to give me a ride on the golf cart to the U-Save in LaBelle so that I could help a friend and get ten dozen of eggs and five gallons of milk. I also had my nephew with me because my brother had a fire call. It was veiy kind of him and his friend to wait for me and give us a ride back to the park.

Letters to the Editor Miss LHS band? For those of you who won dered why the musicians o LaBelle High School were not oi stage Saturday during th' Swamp Cabbage Festival, at explanation might be in order. As the music director a LaBelle Middle School, I provide ed the Swamp Cabbage Festiva with two bands for the parade and a stage show in the par] every year for eighteen years After two years of retirement, returned to LaBelle to teacl music at the High School, am have started a guitar program with 45 players, a jazz band an a choir. In January we wer' approached by the Swamp Cab bage Festival to perform on th stage. We ordered outfits, music and equipment and were preparing a show. Two week before the festival I contacted them to inquire as to our time slot, and was told that there was n't time to include the LHS music cians. When pressured, the: offered a 15 minute slot, whicl we declined. 15 minutes ii which to set up, perform an tear down wouldn't have left us time to perform a single song. The musicians -of LaBelli High School are dedicated, tal ented, enthusiastic young mei and women. I can only hope tha you will get a chance to hea them someday. Sincerely, Dr. Jeff Moor Take hard look at coal burning plant February 26, 2007 Dear Editor: The permitting process an' activities behind FP&L's prc posed coal fired Glades Powe Park needs to see the light of da and involve the citizens c Glades and Hendry counties Too much has been done in th shadows. We need to ask som pointed questions of the Glade Co. Board of Commissioner and not simply request, bu demand answers. We om: Donna Storter from any implica tion since she did not join th Glades Board until after plans fc the power plant were underway So, here you are Mssrs. Jones Beck, Echols and Giesler: Why did you and the local planning agency amend the lan development regulation to grar the permitted use of a power plant on land designated agricul- tural? Why did you do this with Sno public hearing? f Why were FP&L's represen- n tatives allowed to meet secretly e and privately with individual " board members while all this was going on? Did any of you it remotely consider that your - actions on a matter of this mag- I1 nitude might take on the appear- e ance of impropriety? k We were in attendance at 3. the informational board meeting I in Moore Haven on the 20th. h This was hardly an unbiased d presentation. The experts on air n emissions, water use and eco- dlogical impact are all employed by Older Associates, the com- e pany that is facilitating FP&L's - permitting process. The toxicol- e ogist is under contract with , FP&L. The presenter who e praised the technological virtues s of the coal plant also made the d same pitch to the St. Lucie Co. e commissioners last year. They 3- didn't buy it and unanimously '- turned down FP&L's request. Do Y you ever wonder why? Did you h ever ask? You did not. Mr. Jones' n terse reply to their letter to you d urging caution in this matter sug- s gested they mind their own busi- ness. Even Henry Fishkind's eco- e nomic analysis raised more - questions than it answered. But n then questions had to be pre- at submitted And further questions r on sometimes ambiguous answers were not permitted. In short, gentlemen, we feel e that you are, for whatever rea- son, prematurely rushing to bring this potentially hazardous coal plant to Glades Co. It's time to step back, be prudent and convene a panel of knowledge- able people to carefully analyze d this with all the impartiality that )- good science has to offer. It is ;r important that they not be in the y employ of or beholden to FP&L )f in any way. Your taking FP&L's ;. "word for it" would be akin to e chickens consulting only with e the fox concerning henhouse s security and forgoing a second s opinion. The ecological, health it and economic impact to our it counties and to the Everglades i- will be huge and, we are willing e to bet, negative. Consideration )r of an undertaking of this magni- y. tude deserves and requires your s, caution and informed objectivi- ty. Your constituencies deserve al no less. d Sincerely, it Bruce & Michelle Steinfeldt ar Ortona CALOOSA BELLE Our Purpose... The Caloosa Belle is published by Independent Newspapers ot Florida.

I do not want to defend FP&L but I would like to make some comments. First I would like to say that any "forward looking" statement made by FP&L is only valid on the date that the statement was made. That is taken from their published disclaimer on the web site that talks about the Glades Power Park. That is their own words. That tells me that you can not believe any thing they say. That means they are only interest- ed in their stockholders and their customers. That means to me that they do not care about the communities they impact, or at least they do not care as much about them. Second I would like to put a lit- tle perspective on the mercury problem. I again do not wish to defend mercury. It is bad. It has a bad track record and a bad repu- tation. It is dangerous and haz- ardous when not handled prop- erly. I have been involved in a limited way with mercury since I have been working. That is or was over forty years. When I first started working back in the 1960's 1 was in a research labora- tory with a highly respected inter- national chemical company. One of the projects I was involved with was trying to find a substi- tute for the mercurial com- pounds that the coatings industry uses for mold, mildew and can stability. Consequently I learned very early on about the hazards of mercury. I am also one of the people that said I would continue to use mercury until a satisfactory replacement was found. It took another fifteen years or so but replacements were discovered. Until the early 1990's every paint company in the entire Unit- ed States used mercury. To give you an idea of just how much mercury was used, here are some numbers and examples. You can do the math, if you are at all interested. The average paint company put about a pound of mercury into every one hundred gallons of paint that they pro- duced. Some companies, espe- cially in the Sun Belt states, used up to three pounds of mercury in every one hundred gallons of paint because of the mildew problems in the Sun Belt. Florida had an even bigger problem so additional preservative was sold at the cash register so the con- sumer could add an additional dose for added protection. That amount in some cases equaled a probable nine pounds per one hundred gallon total. That is a conservative number. A small to medium sized paint company producing about 500,000 gallons of paint a year used about 5,000 pounds of mercury in a year. That compound was about 60% mer- cury. It was a phenyl, methyl or ethyl oleate or acetate compound of mercury. It was one of the more water dispersible com- pounds of mercury. It had to have some solubility in water because it had to "leach out" in order to be effective in controlling mildew. Back in the 1970's there were over one million gallons of paint sold in Lee County every year. (Do the math). In the Orlando area there were about ten to eleven million gallons of paint sold in a year. (Do the math). Chalking and mildew were the major problems in Florida in the 1970's. Every year you would go and pressure wash your house to remove the mildew. In Orlando, where did all that run off go? Was it into the storm drains and into the river and finally into the Big 0? Look at a map and you tell me. I wonder where all that mercury went? The coatings industry had a partner in crime. It was called the agricultural industry. The exact same compounds were used to prevent the black mold and fun- gus on citrus. The cattlemen dug "dipping pits" to run the cattle into with the same compounds to control the pests on the cattle. Those uses for mercury were dis- continued in the early 1990's. Until that time coal burning was a minor contributor of mercury to the environment. In fact the coal industry has over the years dwin- dled in use. When I was a kid every home had a coal stove or heater. There were steam engines instead of electric and diesel engines. Cleaner coal and lower sulfur coal is being utilized. Scrubbers are being incorporat- ed. The amount of mercury con- tributed to the environment from coal is lower than it has ever been. I am not defending coal. I am not defending FP&L. I am putting things into perspective. FP&L says they will be contribut- ing only 200 pounds of mercury to the environment in a year. Since that statement is a "forward looking" statement you know what you can do with it. Put it where the sun don't shine. That is all it is worth. If in fact it is only 200 pounds per year, that amount is minuscule compared to what the coatings and the agricultural industries contributed. And that was the Best Available Technolo- gy (BAT) in those days. And it was legal. In reality that new C&D landfill that has been permitted to open in Glades County is a much more serious mercury hazard than the FP&L Power Park. It will be taking around fifteen hundred tons of C&D trash every day. What is C&D? It is construction and dem- olition. How many new homes are being taken down and put into the land fill? I would guess not too many. How many old buildings are being taken down and how many buildings are being renovated that are more than ten or fifteen years old? I would guess a whole lot. The average house takes about thirty five gallons of paint to cover inside and out. If only one coat of paint was applied to each of these buildings that are being torn down or renovated a very conservative amount of about one pound of mercury is going into the landfill for each house. If only one house per day is put into the landfill that is about 500 to 1000 pounds of mercury every year into that landfill. And that is the more water soluble mercury compounds. That is not counting the drywall mud that typically used three times the amount of mercury as the paint did. That is not counting the electric switches that have mercury in them. That is not counting the other sources of mercury. That is only one house per day. How much mer- cury is really going into that land- fill? On the other hand Who cares? No one did at the time it was permitted. But Glades Coun- ty is going to get a whopping sixty thousand dollars a year for allow- ing it to happen and a couple other people are going to make a ton of money. And Lee County residents thank Glades County for taking their trash. Some of my complaints are the fact that I have been told by the environmentalists that the Chinese cars are more fuel-effi- cient than the U. S. cars. Well if that is so show me one. They are not allowed in the U. S. because they do not meet the air quality standards. Besides that if they are as cheap as every other piece of crap that China makes they beak down and do not work half as good as something made in the United States. China produced more cars in 2005 than the United States produced. I read where someone just saved one hundred dollars per month on the electric bill by con- serving. Does that mean if we. all save one hundred dollars that we do not need more electricity or power plants to be built in Flori- da? Or does that just mean that We can sacrifice so that more immigrants can migrate into Florida so that we need more power any how? I venture to say that there are a lot of homes in Glades County that will not have to pay an electric bill or FP&L will pay those that do not use one hundred dollars worth of electric- ity in a month. For some one to be able to save one hundred dol- lars a month they must be living high on the hog as compared to the average Glades County resi- dent. When I see an environmen- talist disconnecting the power lines going to their homes, riding bicycles and walking and using other sources for power I will lis- ten a little closer to them. It is after all the environmentalists that have forced all the regula- tions on industry so that now China makes everything that we used to make. It is after all the regulations that have forced our economy off shore to countries that do not have regulations. How many more people do they ,wish it put out of a job? Saving one hundred dollars a month on electricity sounds like they are alive and well. There are two sides on this problem and I do not have a problem with either way our county commissioners go on this one. I do not think FP&L is think- ing about the residents of Glades County. I think that FP&L should make some iron clad commit- ments to the Glades County resi- dents that do not shrink and dis- appear over time. I think that Glades County should get a per- centage from any power pro- duced now and in the future that is not a sliding or variable scale. I think new really new technolo- gy should be used and not just new to FP&L technology should they be successful in building a new plant and that is anywhere they build a new plant. The envi- ronmentalists have some good ideas but I want to see them prac- tice what they preach in other countries as well as ours. They have cost us too much so far. Get them to bring back out manufac- turing base and I will listen a little better. These are just a few of my opinions and comments. Respectfully, Fran Koebert, Retired, Taxpayer, Voter, U. S. Citizen thatcan read, write and understand English. Thank You Phillip's Road crew To the volunteer road crew working on Phillip's Road this past Saturday, February 17th! You are greatly appreciated! Much progress was made in smoothing the rough spots, and clearing brush away from the roadway. As all can see there's much more to be done, and it's our goal to get the road back into condition so that the school bus will be allowed to run as it did in the past. That goal includes resur- facing the entire road, if we can gather the support to accomplish this. Our next road committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 17, 6:30 p.m. on Buddy Prophet's porch. All res- idents are welcome and all sup- port is appreciated. Please come out and help us improve our road. If you are interested, please call: Buddy Prophet at 863-675-8809; Linda or Dana Smith at 863-612- 0033; or Tanya or Jimmy Fussell at 863-674-0917.

What would you change about Swamp Cabbage? Do you have any suggestions on where to relocate the park fes- tivities because of congestion? S Jim Sabella said, "I don't think it needs to be moved anywhere. It's a festival so it's going to be crowded. I don't think LaBelle has any S"' other area that would be as j "'1.j scenic, historical or as mem- S" orable as the park. Although it might be nice to disperse some of the festivities to .. ; other areas and spread them out throughout LaBelle so it's not quite so crowded." Anquiette Goree said, "They should make the parade more interesting such as putting more work into the floats and making the band more lively. There should be more activi- ties at the park like a dance/step team and more games for the little kids to play like a truck race." Dorothy Johnson said, "I would relocate the park fes- tivities to the area beside LES (the recreation land) because I would like to see Swamp Cabbage expand and get larger for the fami- lies because there's not enough space downtown. We are really boxed in at the park. We really need a lot more room. That way the armadillo races would have more room and everyone could enjoy the festivities a little better. I would add more activities for the kids such as potato sack races, a base- ball tournament, bounce houses, a talent show and picnic tables for families to sit down and enjoy everything." Eddie Nieves said, "I would move the festivities to the rodeo grounds where there is more space. I would also add a better variety of - music such as rock n roll ., - instead of just having coun- try music. I love the food but I would add a couple more booths so the lines are shorter. Maybe three or four booths with gator tail." Amber Bryant said, "We need better parking. I would change the location so it's not so congested in the middle of town. We also need more vendors so the lines are shorter."

Terry Short of Fort Myers, of Vongraph Zepplein, built futuristic bike for an upcoming movie called Akira Bike Wars, which is due to start pro- duction in California by Paramount and Sony in a couple weeks. Built on an old Honda chassis with "machine guns," rocket pads, oxygen and nitrous systems and lots of other movieland extras, it took him 13 months to com- plete. Terry has been doing this type of work for 40 years, manufacturing some 35 props for movies out of all kinds of scrap. This bike is destined to be blown up in the real action/animation thriller but that's okay, Terry says, "as long as they send the check." The overall female winner was Lindsey Ulrich, age 28, from Lehigh Acres (who also won last year) with a time of 18:25.

Submitted photos by Teresa Hamil Jacy Sealey with her parents Angela and James and her Grand Champion Swine. Miranda Pequeno with her parents Kristy and David and her Reserve Grand Champion Swine. LaBelle Youth Livestock Swine Show Sheriff Stuart Whiddon of the Glades County Sheriff's Office has authorized the release of the fol- lowing information. On February 20, at approxi- mately 11:30 a.m., a patrol deputy was conducting security checks within the Port Labelle area of Glades County which is located on the southern edge of Glades County along SR80. While the deputy was conducting his checks, he located a residence at 4880 Warm Court to which, the deputy noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from within the residence. The deputy made contact with the Criminal Investigations Divi- sion and relayed his findings. The Criminal Investigations Division began their investigation which led to obtaining a search warrant for the residence at 4880 Warm Court. Upon serving the search warrant at the residence, two sub- jects were located inside along with 9 grown marijuana plants and approximately 50 pounds of already processed marijuana. Both subjects were arrested at the residence and were identified as Mercedes Alpiza Cabrera, age 38 and Gilberto Henandez Lopez, age 36. Both subjects were charged with cultivation of mari- juana and trafficking of marijuana. While the Detectives were working on the marijuana grow house at 4880 Warm Court, they located a second possible mari- juana grow house within the same area at 16880 Saturn Circle. Upon searching the residence, detectives located 65 marijuana plants growing inside. The resi- dence was occupied by Osualdo Jorge, age 45. He too was also arrested and charged with cultiva- tion of marijuana and possession of marijuana. All three subjects were trans- ported to the Glades County Jail. If you have any questions concern- ing these two cases please con- tact, Detective Sergeant Steve Har- ris of the Glades County Sheriffs Office. By Sonja Crawford On Wednesday, Feb. 14, the 4- H/FFA Market Swine Show was sponsored by Diamond R Fertiliz- er. The Swine Ultrasound Screen- ing was sponsored by Commis- sioner W. T. Bill Maddox. The show consisted of 82 swine exhibitors. The official judge of the evening was Mr. Don Strickland of Sarasota. The hogs were judged on muscling, trimness, length of body, spring to the rib, design, productive type, correct- ness of finish and expected car- cass desirability. The Grand Champion Swine was shown by Pig Skin Classic 4- H Club member Jacy Sealey. Jacy's hog weighed 294 pounds. The Pig Skin Classic 4-H Club vol- unteer leader is Doreen Backes. Jacy purchased her hog from Clevie Selph Farms located in Jennings, Florida. Miranda Pequeno of the Hogs R Us 4-H Club exhibited the Reserve Champion Hog weighing in at 298 pounds. Miranda purchased her hog from Glarner Farms of Sebring, Florida, and Omega, Georgia. Scott Hackman is the volunteer leader of Hogs R Us 4- H Club. After the placing of the swine came the Showmanship catego- ry. Showmanship is judged on the ability to exhibit an animal to its best advantage, as well as the overall care and training of the animal. The exhibitors are judged on control, presentation to the judge, awareness of the judge and knowledge of the species. Planning, practicing and neat appearance will assist the exhibitor in being successful. Showmanship was judged by Karen Andrle of Sarasota, Flori- da. In the Senior Swine Show- manship division: Pig Skin Clas- sic 4-H Club member Wes Crocket took first place receiving a belt buckle with Marlena Nel- son capturing the second place trophy. Marlena is a member of the Double "H" Livestock 4-H Club led by Colette Willis and Sidney Platt. In the Junior Swine Show- manship category: Taylor Harvey captured the first place belt buck- le with the second place trophy going to Logann White. Taylor and Logann are both members of the Hogs R Us 4-H Club. The belt buckles distributed to the youth were sponsored by Ralph Elver, Attorney at Law.

While you're at it take a permanent marker and number all bowls and lids that match with the same number. Throw all others out.

Pool Heaters Refrraton (863) 675-2878 CAC1815266 The Services Company others are MEASURED BY! By Kristin Hunter Clay Timpner is a laid back, small town, somewhat shy guy. He doesn't like his picture taken, and is not cocky as one might assume. It was even difficult to get a picture of him looking at the camera. Drafted in the fourth round of his junior year of col- lege, he plays baseball for the Fresno Grizzlies, a triple A minor league team of the San Francisco Giants. One would never know from talking to him that he is often in the presence of some living legends such as Willie Mayes, Ken Griffy Jr. and Barry Bonds. When asked how it was to be in the presence of so many greats he said that at first he was really intimidated and in awe, but now he's a little more relaxed and realizes they're just one of the guys doing their job, although he never forgets how lucky he is to be there playing with them. Clay is only 23-years-old and has played baseball for 19 years, since he was four years old. . He has accomplished a lot in his few years. He is in a league with guys who are thirty and have families. His ultimate goal like many other minor leaguers trying to make it is to play in the big leagues of course, for at least ten years and he might just do it too. With an impressive stat list, the likelihood that he'll make it is quite a possibility. He is an out- fielder but is a very strong batter as well. His baseball hero list consists of outfield players such as Ken Griffey Jr. and Kenny Lofton. He says that his strongest attribute is playing the game hard-the way it's supposed to be played and that his strongest asset to the team is defense such as diving for catches. He says that he plans on play- ing as long as he can stay healthy and his body will let him. After he is done with baseball he says that he'll probably finish up his degree in Liberal Studies and either open a business of some kind or pursue a career in teaching. He said the best thing about playing baseball for a living is doing what he's always dreamed of. He said the worst thing about it is traveling and going to small towns and staying in bad hotels and the long bus rides. In one season they play 142 regular season games so it is quite intensive so there isn't much time to relax. In the off season, Clay is home from September-February so while he's home he helps out the LHS Baseball team while get- ting in his off-season workout. Clay was drafted his junior year of college and wasn't going to turn it down, so he never got to finish his degree. He figured he could always finish his degree, but he wouldn't always have the chance to play major league baseball. Wise beyond his years, Clay said that although playing base- ball is his job, he has .learned that it is a game and he needs to enjoy it while it lasts. While Clay is a non-roster invitee, which means he is not on the 40 man roster, he hopes to continue playing in the triple A league or possibly go to the majors this year. Clay is like a lot of guys his age. In his off time he likes to do outdoor stuff such as fishing and to the beach. He also likes to travel and just relax. When asked who his men- tors are he said that he looks up to his older brother Marcus because he feels that he some- what paved the way for him. He said that he watched Marcus work hard and knew that if he worked hard it would eventually pay off and be rewarding. Clay goes to Spring Training in Scottsdale, AZ. Feb. 19 through the beginning of April. Clay said that he just goes out and tries to have fun. He said his parents never pushed him to play baseball but they always supported him and told him if he was going to do it, he needed to give 100 percent and that he has. e- ---------- --* I SPORTS FANS! ' I ! I BET I YOU DIDN'T KNOW Brought to you by Lori Langford Here's a first in college basketball and probably any other sport as well. On the same day in December of 2006, the two coaching sons of one legendary coach I faced off against the two coaching sons of another. John Thompson Jr. (son of John Sr.) led his Georgetown squad against the Oral Roberts team coached by Scott Sutton (son of Eddie). Georgetown won 73-58. Later in the evening, the Suttons got even, as Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton - Eddie's other son guided his Cowboys to a 75-56 victory over the Ball State squad coached by Ronny Thompson - John's other son. Wayne Gretzky, Dominik Hasek and Phil Esposito are three legends of hock- ey. But journeyman Yanic Perreault? In one respect, yes. Entering the 2006-07 season; these four are the only players in NHL history to lead the league in a key statistical category for at least six con- I secutive seasons. the first three are fair-I ly easy to identify: Gretzky in points, I Esposito in goals, Hasek in. save per- I centage among goalies. But what about I Perreault? Any guesses? The veteran I center led the NHL in face offs won for six straight seasons from 2000-011 through 2005-06. * * Now here's a man who had faith in his son's athletic ability. In the mid- 1990s, an English father named Garry Nichols placed a bet of 150 pounds (about $230) that his son, Ricky, would become a professional soccer player. Sure enough, in 2006 Ricky was signed by West Bromwich Albion. If Ricky plays for a title two years in a row and is selected for the national team before his 24th birthday, father Garry stands to collect 400,000 pounds about $605,000. * I I'll bet you didn't know, coming or going, that when the rubber hits the I road,you can't afford not to buy from I Langford.

Most citizens can't spend the time necessary to personally observe their public officials at work, or to determine how well public insti- tutions are carrying out their public mission. But too many newspapers these days act more like "mad dogs" than "watchdogs." We're proud to be different. We try to carry out our "watchdog" role as humble representatives of the public, always maintaining a courteous tone and our reputation for purposeful neutrality. How are we doing?
