During the Tuesday, July 8 Hendry County Commission Meeting at the Harlem Civic Cen- ter, the county's board of com- missioners unanimously voted to approve the hiring of an outside contract attorney and lobbyist. The county selected Curtis Kiser, J.D. as its contracted attor- ney to represent them in efforts to finding out the details of the progress of the well-document- ed land deal between U.S. Sugar and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Not only that, Mr. Kiser is expect- ed to meet and develop proper contacts and relationships with governmental officials from the local, regional and state levels. The contract terms between Mr. Kiser and the county are set for at least two months and $12,500 per month for the ser- vices. County commissioners made it a point to note that after the two-month period expires, then the contract will be under review to see whether or not enough time has been put into the job description. "Here in Clewiston, the citi- zens are concerned about their jobs and the land immediately surrounding the area," Mr. Kiser said. "I want to make sure the South Florida Water Manage- ment District and other agencies understand the concerns of Hen- dry County and Clewiston." The contract is expected to be finalized by the end of this week, county officials said. Mr. Kiser, who currently prac- tices as a partner for the Holland and Knight law firm, served in the state senate from 1984-1994. The Florida State University Col- lege of Law graduate was hon- ored as a Legislative Excellence Award recipient by the Florida Audubon Society for contribut- ing to the improvement of the Everglades legislation and the support of the Preservation 2000 program.

Caloosahatchee Riverway Project, restoration By Patty Brant Caloosa Belle The Caloosahatchee River has always been a natural fo- cus for people in this area and has an important role to play in the future. From time immemorial it was an integral part of the nat- ural water system that formed the Everglades. The meander- ing river was a natural filter for sheetflow coming from the north. Water flowed from the Upper Kissimmee area to Lake Okeechobee south to create the River of Grass. That natu- ral flow was interrupted when the Caloosahatchee River was channelized and straightened, allowing water to flow directly from the lake to estuaries at the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. In recent years, we have seen the devastation high wa- ter flows, containing large amounts of pollutants, have had on those estuaries and on the quality of river water itself. Finding the solution to' this problem has placed environ- mentalists, civic leaders and coastal and interior residents at odds. With the recent announce- ment of United States Sugar Corporation's intention to sell its holdings out to South Flori- da Water Management District (SFWMD), environmentalists see great opportunities to re- store the natural flow of water to the Everglades. Forest Michael of Transys- tems, recently presented his vision of one possible future with his CaloosaHatchee River- way project to the Riverwatch group. He feels his plan would enhance navigation, wildlife habitat and agriculture as well as benefit the area's people and the river itself. He made his presentation at the July 9 River- watch meeting. His plan includes "building" five lakes along the river - recre- See River - Page 20 ernor, as the chairman of the Governor's Commission on the Everglades in. 1999. What's currently at stake are the 1,700 jobs at U.S. Sugar that could be greatly affected by the June 24 decision to sell all of its 187,000 acres of land and as- sets to the water district., The amount, originally set for $1.75 billion, can cost the water district up to $3.5 billion once it's said and done.

Kersten Maxson, the owner of Beef O'Brady's in Clewiston, is playing her .part in supporting the local Hendry Regional Medi- cal Center Hospital Foundation. Who knows? Maybe your next lunchtime order will help to pay for a new emergency room -- well, a portion of it, at least. Every Tuesday until the end of the summer, the restaurant is donating 15 percent of each pur- chase toward the foundation. All a customer has to do is let their server know they would like to help the foundation, and the res- taurant earmarks the funds. The foundation will receive a check when the fundraising pro- gram is finished. Glenda Wilson, who runs the foundation, is excited about the business' willingness to give back. "I like to think that they're helping us and we're helping them," said Ms. Wilson. "It's wonderful exposure for the foundation and I think it's good of Beef O'Brady's to include us in their part of trying to establish their business in the summer months." The program seems to be having very positive results.

Thomas, Ph. D. + Saint Martin's Church, Clewiston Everybody is aware of "stress" and the problems stress will cause. We're told to avoid it: stress is "bad" and does bad things to people. Avoiding it is easier said than done or it wouldn't be a problem for so many people. A hospital where I interned had patients on anti-anxiety med- ications but too much and they weren't even motivated to get better or well enough to want to get out of the hospital. Some stress is useful but how much? The other day I wanted to get an answer to a question from an office in Miami. I called but the person who I krna ,uld have tho answer No options were presented that would help me get back to the operator, so I punched some random numbers. .1 then got a message saying that I had composed an "invalid extension." Would I like a directory of ex- tensions? Yes, I would, but was told to punch in the first three letters of the person I wished to contact. Fortunately, I knew the opera- tor's name - and was returned to her - the extension wasn't "0" but I got back to her anyway. I was put through to an assis- tant, who assured me the person where I left the message was in the building; would I like her paged? Why not! But the page didn't produce any results. Nevertheless, I had the opera- tor's extension now, and could apt hnrk tn h b-- ino rirn t- *1 minutes in the "telephone laby- rinth" before getting the assur- ance an answer would be forth- coming and I'd be able to get what I sought. Total time: about thirty min- utes. Now for some, this would be a lot of "stress." There is an old and honorable hypothesis that "frustration leads to aggression: and aggressive feel- ings with no outlet can certainly cause stress. Was this a "stressful" moment? No. It had taken me about a half- hour to get some information that in the past would have taken lots longer if I had to communicate by letter, or if I had to call back the next day, or if we lived when it would have meant a trip. There seems to be something in people that says "I want it, and I want it right now!" That's what si tres in man7 cases. It seems when we invent some- thing, the next step is to make it go faster. When it -doesn't, we get "stressed.' We forget that life went on at a slower pace when technology was in its infancy; people lived less well-off in many ways than we believe we live, but they didn't. seem to have the "stress" either. There seems to be a correla- tion, maybe even a connection between how fast we try to live and the amount of stress we suf- fer. My remedy was to remember that I didn't have to drive miles and miles to get an answer; or wait days, or take time to write a letter. A half-hour delay was not a bad thing after all. I think of all that was accom- plished by the Lord and His apos- tlos and thev waked evervwheve John writes, but doesn't get upset when he cant write it all, or that some things will be left out, or that part will be missing: he doesn't seem "stressed" over it! God gives us an example of patience and perspective in the Psalms; "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has gone by or a watch in the night... teach us to number our days aright, so that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90: 4,12)." God doesn't seem rushed; and he sure has a lot less stress than the rest of us!

"I, By Pastor John Hicks First United Methodist Church Many times we don't think that what we do or what we say is im- portant. The truth is, they are very im- portant! Every day we affect other peo- ple by what we do or don't do, and by what we say or don't say. They in turn affect other peo- ple who affect other people who affect other people. It's called the ripple affect. If I honk at you and upset your day, you are more likely to honk at someone else. Likewise, if I smile at you and wish you a good day, you are more likely to smile at someone else. You never know how much of a difference you might make, or how far that difference might carry. A 19th century Sunday school teacher led a Boston shoe clerk to Christ. The teachers' name you prob- ably don't know: Kimball. The name of the shoe clerk who was converted you probably have: Dwight Moody. Moody be- came an evangelist and had a ma- jor impact on a young preacher by the name of Frederick Meyer. Meyer began to preach on college campuses, and led J. Wil- bur Chapman to the Lord. Chap- man became involved with the Y.M.C.A. and arranged for a for- mer baseball player, Billy Sunday to come lead a revival. The community leaders were so excited that they scheduled an- other revival and brought Morde- cai Hamm to town to preach. In that revival, a young man named Billy Graham gave his life to Christ. Think of how many people Billy Graham has touched -- and it escalates from there! What you do, what you say, how you live, and even your very presence does make a difference in your life, in' the lives of your family, and in the lives of those around you. It also makes a major differ- ence in your worship community. Did you ever stop to think that "C H . C H" does not spell "church" unless U R in it? God's ministry in the church needs you. The difference between an ac- tive church family and an inactive one is you. The difference between a church which warmly welcomes all visitors and a church which seems indifferent is you. The difference between a church whose ministry is Chris- tian outreach to all in need and a church that is self-serving to .its own needs is you. You are wanted. You are need- ed. You do make a difference. Think about what good differ- ence you might make today, and put feet to the thought. Remember that even little things when given to a big God accomplish much and make a great difference. Prayer is a practice that blesses. Worship is a habit that refreshes. Love is a gift that expresses. Banks Reach Out To Customers with new logo Cell pthob, : ind : ' PDAs provide tools for better service Imagine.this: You've written checks for sev- eral monthly bills, and you know you scheduled your car insurance payment for an automatic deduc- tion today too. You're held up on your way to the bank to make a deposit and you're afraid you're not going to make it on time. You grab your cell phone to check your bank's website for the closest ATM when a text message comes in warning you that your checking account is about to be overdrawn.* You quickly call in a transfer from your savings account and sigh with relief over the nasty overdraft fee you just avoided. That scenario is now com- pletely possible - thanks to mo- bile banking, a variety of new services offered by many banks via their customers' cell phones, PDAs or other mobile devices. Why mobile banking?

Banks are also using the ser- vice to direct customers to nearby branches and ATMs or to com- municate about applications and special offers. . Soon, you may even be able to scan and deposit checks using the camera on your cell phone, or use your phone like a credit or debit card to make purchases. Best of all, these services aren't just available from the big- ger banks. Locally based community banks are offering mobile bank- ing too.

By that I mean you and I did not grow up with computers and probably don't have that in- grained understanding of them your grandchildren have. But, we now use them in our everyday lives for an ever-increas- ing list of things which includes bill paying, information gathering and mailing. Those who don't want to learn are missing out on some great stuff. Every time you turn on your computer, there it is, your desk- top. You spend a lot of time look- ing at that desktop, so let's learn how to manage it with your work habits in mind. If you are like me, you have ap- plication shortcuts on your desk- top. This allows me to open a fa- vorite application right away, in- stead of going to the Start button and Programs and then hunt for the application name. But how do those program names get there in the first place? Sometimes a desktop icon is put there automatically when you load a program. But, if not, this is the way I get the favored program icon just where I want it. Click on Start in the lower left corner of your screen. Scroll to Programs and then to your favorite program. Keep the name highlighted. This is where you use the right click. Make sure the program name is highlighted and then RIGHT click with your mouse. The list of commands that ap- pears is usually referred to as a "context menu." I could write a whole column on the power of the right click and I will, soon. For now, drag down to Create Shortcut. This will result in another title of your program being added to the list. It will have a little (2) at the end of the name. It will probably appear at the end of the list. Click and drag that name to your desk- top. You may also want to shorten the name under the icon on the desktop. To do this, right click the new icon and choose Rename. You will see the cursor blink- ing so you can modify the name in whatever way you choose. I always shorten the name. You can click and drag these icons anyplace you want on the screen. If you no longer use the pro- gram or have something else on the desktop you don't want there, just right click on it and drag down the list to delete.

More Palm Beach residents eligible for health coverage Coverage for low- income residents available WEST PALM BEACH-By a unanimous vote of the Board, the Health Care District of Palm Beach County approved a plan to provide universal health coverage for low-income residents who earn less than 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Vita Health is a shared-cost program that provides afford- able, quality health coverage to residents who pay as little as $25 a month. The remaining two-thirds of the monthly premium are cov- ered by the Health Care District. In May of this year the Florida State Legislature passed a health coverage bill that raised the in- come eligibility for Health Flex programs, including Vita Health, to 300 percent of the FPL. The' decision by the Health Care District Board, effective Oct. 1, increases the allowable income levels to $31,200 annually for an individual living in Palm Beach County and $63,600 for a family of four. "This will help us cover more residents who are not able to af- ford health coverage when their employer doesn't provide it," said Dr. Stanley Pierce, Health Care District Board member. "There are a lot of people in Palm Beach County who have no health coverage. This is what the Health Care District is all about, improving access to healthcare services," said Dr. Effie C. Grear, Health Care District Board Vice- Chair. Vita Health is designed for working individuals and families in Palm Beach County, including uninsured single parents, indi- viduals whose employers do not offer health benefits for full and part-time employees and resi- dents who are self-employed. It's an affordable, quality health coverage option for residents who want the peace of mind of know- ing that they can access health care ,if they need it. "Since the Health Care District was established by the voters nearly two decades ago, provid- ing safety net health coverage for Palm Beach County residents has been one of our core missions. Vita Health provides the public an opportunity to purchase af- fordable health coverage because costs are shared by the Health Care District. This translates into more ben- efits for less cost," says Jonathan Satter, Health Care District Board Chair. "By expanding the income level for Vita Health, the Health Care District continues to expand the number of Palm Beach Coun- ty residents who have access to important health care services." With a network of primary and specialty physicians throughout Palm Beach County, Vita Health provides inpatient acute care, emergency room services, outpa- tient surgery, diagnostic services, primary care services, physician services, and prescription drugs. The program improves health through a focus on wellness, af- fording access to primary and preventive health care services and providing members with a medical home. To be eligible, residents must be between the ages of I and 65, uninsured during the preceding six months, and meet the income criteria. The monthly premiums range from $25 to $100 per indi- vidual with co-payments as low as $5 per office visit. "Over the last year we have partnered with the Economic Council of Palm Beach County to promote Vita Health. As a result, the membership has more than doubled," said Debi Gavras, Core Operations Officer of the Health Care District who. oversees its Managed Care programs. "By expanding the income level, Vita Health will continue to grow. This will result in even more residents with a medical home, and in turn reduce the level of uncompensated care, emergency room overcrowding, and avoid more expensive care due to de- layed healthcare access." Last month the National As- sociation of Public Hospitals pre- sented Vita Health with a special recognition for "community en- gagement" at the organization's annual Safety Net awards cer- emony. In Palm Beach County, health care providers absorb substantial costs for uninsured patients who present for care. Vita Health members visit an ER at a lower rate (12/1000 mem- bers) compared to the Medicaid HMO population in the county (38/1000 members). The program also encourages timely preventive care. A recent Florida health insur- ance study found that half of the uninsured either delay or simply don't get needed medical care, due to lack of coverage and cost. Nine of the top ten reasons Vita Health members visited their primary care physicians were re- lated to preventive care services. "Providing solutions for the uninsured is a complex challenge and one that the Health Care Dis- trict has made a priority for more than fifteen years, said Health Care District's Chief Executive Of- ficer, Dwight D. Chenette, MBA, MPH. "The number of uninsured in Palm Beach County is estimated at more than 150,000. More than half of the uninsured have been without coverage for longer than a year, and nearly one in five have never had coverage. The primary reason is cost. Vita Health pro- vides an opportunity for residents to obtain affordable health cover- age." The Health Care District funds or administers health coverage for SCHIP, Medicaid, and several health initiatives designed for tar- geted populations. The Health Care District also serves the community through a maternity care program as well as a nationally acclaimed Trauma System, a network of pharmacies, a rehabilitation and skilled-nurs- ing center, and a dedicated nurse in more than 170 public schools. The District owns and operates the county's only public hospital, Glades General Hospital, and is in the process of building a new regional hospital, scheduled to open in early 2010, that will serve the Western Palm Beach County communities bordering Lake Okeechobee.

Bronson recently announced that nominations are being accepted for the 2008 "Woman of the Year in Agriculture" award. The award, now in its 24nd year, recognizes women who have made outstanding contribu- tions to Florida agriculture. "This award spotlights the vital role of women in Florida agriculture and serves to encour- age other women to get involved in the business," Commissioner Bronson said. "Many women have made significant contributions over the years in developing and sustain- ing this important industry, which has an overall economic impact estimated at more than $100 bil- lion annually." Those nominated for the award will be judged by a panel an of the Year' nominations familiar with Florida agriculture. The award will be presented in February at the opening-day lun- cheon of the 2009 Florida State Fair in Tampa. The Florida Department of Ag- riculture and Consumer Services, which sponsors the event, has sent nomination forms to agri- cultural organizations around the state. The deadline for submitting nominations to the Department is Nov. 1. Nominations remain active for two years; after that time they must be resubmitted in order to be considered.

Clo Fr rI r* Public pressure sought to combat fuel prices TALLAHASSEE-Florida Agri- - culture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bron- son says more public pressure is needed to ensure Congress and the President quickly take action to lower fuel prices. Mr. Bronson wrote the Florida congressional delegation in May urging an investigation on all as- pects of the oil industry, including production, trading by investors and speculators, and ultimately the marketing and sale of fuel. Mr. Bronson said at the time that market speculation is driv- ing oil costs instead of the normal laws of supply and demand. The outcry against this un- checked speculation is growing. Delta, American, Southwest, US Air and a number of other airlines have taken the unprecedented step of writing a join letter to all airline customers calling on them to pull together to demand congressional reforms in market speculation. "More and more people are taking notice of the profiteering that's occurring when speculators buy and sell oil many times over on paper without ever seeing a drop of it," Mr. Bronson said. "Consumers are shouldering the financial burden because by i� the time the oil is actually de- livered, they are paying record breaking prices to fill their tanks." Mr. Bronson, who serves as the state's primary consumer protection official as head of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, says now is the time for people to voice their concerns, while congressional hearings into the matter are un- derway and before the summer recess. "Every aspect of our lives, from the cost of food and clothes .to utilities and transportation ex- penses are impacted by fuel pric- es," Mr. Bronson said. "People need to realize that our economic and national secu- rity are being impacted by specu- lators and other actions that im- pact oil prices and they need to demand relief." Mr. Bronson said his depart- ment is bombarded with calls from consumers who are angry about gas prices. But he says they need to direct their energy to Washington, D.C. because their elected representa- tives and the President hold the key to solutions to the fuel crisis. Florida Citrus Season Ends; Industry Looks Ahead Farmers report suc- cessful year in 2007- 2008 LAKELAND-Florida's 2007- '2008 orange crop finished at 169.7 million boxes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) which today released its, final citrus report of the season. The crop represents a 32 per- cent increase from the 2006-2007 season. "This was a pretty good re- bound year for the Florida citrus industry coming. off the hurri- canes," said Michael W. Sparks, executive vice president/CEO of Florida Citrus Mutual. "Prices to growers were rea- sonable and that's important. We need higher prices to offset the increased production costs asso- ciated with pest and disease man- agement and energy prices." "The recent rains bode well for next season," Sparks continued. "However, the industry is facing many challenges right now, most prominently a disease called cit- rus greening which has the po- tential to devastate our crop. We will continue to fight it through research and best management practices as we head into next season." The 169.7 million boxes are made up of 83.5 million boxes of Early-Mids and Navels and 86.2 million boxes of Valencias. The Florida citrus industry saw a decline in orange production from 230 million boxes to 129 million boxes during the five-year period between the 2001-2002 season and the 2006-2007 sea- son. This reduction was due in large part to the effects of hurricanes, development and pests and dis- eases such as citrus canker and greening. The USDA issues its initial esti- mate in October and then revises it each month through the end of the citrus season in July. In today's final report, Florida grapefruit increased from 26.5 million boxes to 26.6 million boxes. Tangelos remained unchanged at 1.5 million boxes as did tariger- ines at 5.5 million boxes. The complete USDA crop fore- cast is available from the Florida Agriculture Statistics Service on- line at http://www.nass.usda.gov/ Statistics_by_State/Florida/Publi- cations/Citrus/cpfp.htm Founded in 1948 and currently representing nearly 8,000 grower members, Florida Citrus Mutual is the state's largest citrus growers' organization.

Sheriff Ronnie Lee said Burgos was charged with Sale of Cocaine (3 counts) and Trafficking in Cocaine. Bond was set at $175,000.00. Task force to patrol high crime areas In recent weeks, probably due to the economy, there have been a rash of thefts and burglaries on the west side of Hendry County. In an attempt to combat the in- crease in property crime, Sheriff Ronnie Lee created a task force to patrol the high crime areas. The first night of patrol, Depu- ties arrested a man on a warrant for drug offenses. They also re- covered stolen items including a television set, a chain saw, a shop vacuum, a pressure washer, and a stolen vehicle. Another arrest is expected at the conclusion of the investigation into the stolen items. A missing juvenile was also lo- cated and returned to his parents. Sheriff Lee said these Deputies will be patrolling all areas of the county where we have seen an increase in property crime. Public Issues Forums: Join the discussion!

The Palm Beach County Sher- iff's Office (PBSO), in conjunction with the Police Athletic League (PAL), held a grand opening at its PAL Youth Center in Pahokee on June 12. Prior to the a series of exhibi- tion sparring matches between the boxers, which totaled about 25 from three teams - Pahokee PAL, Belle Glade PAL and Palm Beach Gardens Club 100, the box- ing facility was dedicated by Gary Dolphus, the pastor of the Paho- kee PAL Boxing founder, Deputy Sheriff Michael LeStrange. "A building in this matter should be seen as a monument," Pastor Dolphus told those in at- tendance, which totaled to ap- proximately 50 people. "The sher- iff's office have all contributed to this building and it takes a group to accomplish this." "This facility is dedicated for supporting the biblical foufida- tions of teaching character, excel- lence and overcoming adversity," the pastor continued. "God has chosen people like LeStrange and others to have a heart's desire for today's youth. They're dedicating themselves to this cause and we speak blessings to this place right now." Michael Jackson, the om- budsman/liaison for Palm Beach County Commissioner Jess San- tamaria, provided an encouraging and inspiring message to all of the boxers in the PAL program. "Boxing mirrors life," Jackson said. "It requires dedication and hard work. "I don't look at boxing as just slugging it out, but something that will help build your character," Jackson continued. "Your great- est strength is when someone can depend on you. If you're depend- able physically and spiritually, you can't go wrong. "Develop a motto to live by, it will keep you honest," Jackson concluded in his message to the youth. Once the dedication ceremony was finished, then the sparring matches took place for the pub- INI/Naji Tobias The Police Athletic League (PAL) Boxing program in Pahokee opened its doors to the public in a grand opening ceremony, held at the boxing facility at 601 Bacom Point Rd. on July 12. lic to see.

The former National Golden Gloves winner, who later tried out for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, was at one point in the same position as his boxers. The Pahokee standout went on to play college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks, dis- covered boxing as another pas- sion of his. For Campbell, what actually kept him in top physical shape was the fact that he oftentimes used boxing as an outlet. It not only kept him focused on earning a college degree, but it ultimately fueled his fire to compete and lat-. er coach in the boxing realm. Campbell would like to use his expertise to help the boxers be- come successful in the future. "We're trying to build champi- ons in the ring, as well as in life," Campbell said. According to Deputy LeS- trange, the city's boxing program took about a year to get off the ground. It was a collaborative ef- fort between the city of Pahokee, Reinaldo Alonso, the lieutenant/ commander of District 12 and Captain Jeff Lindskoog of the PB- SO-Community Services Division. The boxing equipment, which includes an array of boxing gloves and a boxing ring, cost .the sher- iff's office about $20,000 to pur- chase. It must be noted that the equipment and the facility as a. something that the area's citizens can be proud of. The boxing program, Deputy LeStrange said, was funded by the sheriff's office drug services and comes at no cost to the city's taxpayers. "The PAL youth boxing pro- gram is a crime prevention tool," Deputy LeStrange said. "We use boxing as a way to get the kids off the streets and a way from anti-social criminal activity, such as joining gangs and using illegal drugs." The boxers in attendance, who hail from the Glades area and the coast, will be competing in Pa- hokee's first-ever boxing tourna- ment, to be held on Saturday, July 19 beginning at 3 p.m. in the city's recreational center gymnasium. Also, the young men are pre- paring daily for the state and national PAL Boxing Champion- ships, as well as the state's annual Silver Gloves Boxing Champion- ships, which will convene later this year. "This event gave the kids the opportunity to interact with oth- er kids from different gyms and maintain a positive mindset," said Afshin Motedaeiny, the boxing coach for the Palm Beach Gar- dens-based Club 100 PAL boxing team. "Also, it is important for the kids to know that the- community representatives support this pro- gram. It truly thank Pahokee PAL for inviting us to be at this event."

HSCO arrest reports Marijuana grow houses busted in montura Friday night July 11, the Hen- dry County Sheriff's Narcotic In- vestigators executed search war- rants on three mobile homes in Montura located on South Willow and South Palm Streets. All three houses were being used for the purpose of growing marijuana. Each house was equipped with sophisticated irrigation systems, fertilizer tanks, industrial grow lights, and other equipment nor- mally used in the cultivation of marijuana. Deputies seized 300 marijuana plants with a street val- ue of over one quarter million at maturity. Sheriff Ronnie Lee said like most the their Grow Houses we have busted, the owner of these three homes lives outside Hendry County. Deputies are at- temping to locate the owner and arrests are forthcoming. Rise in theft crimes At 3:07 a.m. Thursday July 10th, Ashley and Sons Salvage, located on State Road 29 south of LaBelle, was the victim of an at- tempted theft. Deputies arrived on the scene and were informed by the owner, Ashley George, that he observed three black males in the process of stealing about $2,500.00 worth of copper wire. When he confronted the men, two fled the scene on foot. Mr. George had a gun and ordered the third man to get down on the ground. The man grabbed the gun and succeeded in taking it from Mr. George. He ran toward State Road 29, firing two shots at Mr. George, missing with both shots. Deputies were unable to locate any of the men and set up a perimeter. Sheriff Ronnie Lee said the Lee County Sheriff's Office sent two K-9 Deputies and a he- licopter to assist with the search. The helicopter is equipped with an instrument capable of locat- ing hot spots on the ground. Shortly after arriving in the area, the pilot located a hot spot near the salvage company.

Thursday, July 17, 2008 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Local 4-H Youth participate in State Legislature More than two hundred 4-H youth from across the state trav- eled to Tallahassee June 23 - July 27 to participate in a week long mock Legislative session held at the State Capital. Jessica Bechtel, Rachael Boy, Josie Boykin, Steffanie Cain, Rob- ert Ford, Monica Ledesma, Chris- topher Norwood, Jacinda Sheltra, Britney Woosley, and Elesa Zim- merly were among the Hendry County Leadership/Citizenship 4-H Club members who attended Florida 4-H Legislature. These club members began preparing for the week long event in February. With both a House and a Sen- ate in session, teen legislators, lobbyists and reporters will de- bate a variety of issues and learn how the government works. The Florida 4-H Legislature will conduct business with an acting governor, lieutenant gover- nor and cabinet. Veteran Hendry County members play the role of Legislators while the lirst year members learn about lobbying. All of the members did an ex- cellent job debating the issues. There were impressive argu- ments both for and against many proposed bills. Josie Boykin, Stef- fanie Cain, Monica Ledesma, Brit- ney Woosley and Elesa Zimmerly acted as lobbyists. Josie Boykin and Elesa Zim- merly were nominated for the prestigious Chris Allen Award. Jessica Bechtel and Rachael Boy acted as Senators. Jessica Bechtel also acted as the Speaker of the Senate during the lobbyist ses- sion. Robert Ford, Christopher Norwood and- Jacinda Sheltra acted as Representatives. Christopher Norwood was nominated for the prestigious Chris Allen Award. Nominations for the Chris Allen Award are based on the knowledge of the individual as a Representative, Senator, Lobbyist, or a Reporter. The Florida 4-1-1 Legislative Program is an excellent oppor- tunity for youth ages 14 to 18 as of September I of the current 4-H learn how local, state, and federal government works.

Rick Murphy announces his candidacy for county superintendent job Rick Murphy, candidate for Su- perintendent of Hendry County Schools, would like to take this opportunity to introduce himself to you. He is a lifelong resident of Hendry County who graduated from Clewiston High School. He is the 12th child of Susie Mae Wade, born and raised in Hooker's Point. He has two children, Christina Murphy and Crystal Murphy Cen- teno, who are both graduates of Clewiston High School. Christina is a student at F.S.U., waitress, celebrity hostess and a professional model. She is a past contestant on America's Next top Model Cycle 4 and still pursuing her career in modeling. Crystal is Cosmetologist, moth- er of two (Jalen, 7 and Nadia, 3) with plans to become a registered nurse or teacher. After working in Business Management for over 20 years and while serving as District 1 School Board member for the last 14 years, he decided to continue - his education at night graduating from Palm Beach Community College and Palm Beach Atlantic University. After serving on the School Board he transitioned into teach- ing and administration; contin- ued his education at other col- leges and began teaching in Palm Beach County and in Highlands Rick Murphy. Submitted to INI County middle grades 6-8th. He has taught in Highlands for the last three years while also working in administrative duties. His reason for teaching in other counties is that Florida Law says while he serves on the School Board he can't teach in the same system. Hendry and Highlands coun- ties are also part of a joint effort called the Heartland Educational Consortium which provides many different services for schools, teachers, administration and stu- dents. He feels this arrangement has allowed him to oversee the school system, provide addition- al resources and get hands-on teaching and administration ex- perience to better serve our stu- dents. For the last 14 years he said he proudly served the students, parents, grandparents, employ- ees, residents and taxpayers of the entire county to the best of his ability. He said, "It has been an honor and privilege to be elected and serve as your elected official. In order to run and continue to serve in a different capacity as your elected Superintendent of Schools I had to resign by law as your School Board Member. After serving for 14 years that was a very difficult decision but was the sacrifice I had to make for my commitment to serve the residents of our county. We all have different goals for our kids and I would like to share some my ideas. To provide continued academic achievement for all stu- dents regardless of their ability or limitations." As a career tech teacher he believes we need to provide voca- tional programs as an option for students' success. The global economy is con- stantly changing which will also require many different job skills to compete in the workplace. Those students who are strug- gling with academic success could excel in school by having vocational programs while learn- ing valuable skills to succeed. Vocational programs would also improve student dropout. He would also like to improve early intervention programs for elementary students to be more successful; to provide additional opportunities in areas of fine and performing arts while pro- moting recognition for academic achievements, cultural arts and athletic accomplishments for all students' endeavors; work coop- eratively with Edison College and other institutions for students and adult education needs; promote and provide continuing profes- sional training opportunities that support professional growth for all employees. He hopes to work closely with school personnel and other gov- ernmental agencies for monitor- ing the continuing protection and safety of all students from the threat of gang, bullying and other unacceptable behavior and continue to work with parents, transportation personnel and ad- ministration to monitor student safety while transporting over 3,500 students daily which are our most precious cargo. Mr. Murphy said he wants to improve and maintain neat school buildings while construct- ing additional educational facili- ties needed to meet anticipated growth with special facilities fund- ing when provided by the State Legislature and assure immedi- ate communication between the parent, school, community and School Board on critical issues. Mr. Murphy is a member of the Florida School Board Association and Florida Small School District Council Consortium Board of Di- rectors. He has served on the Hendry County Property Value Adjust- ment Board as a School Board representative presiding over property value adjustment peti- tion hearings. He is a member of the Men's Christian Gathering of LaBelle and The Evangel Assembly of God in Clewiston; a member of the Clewiston FFA Alumni and has supported The LaBelle Live- stock and Ag Show along with the Hendry County 4-H and Livestock Show. He said he also supports local organizations including the Ca- loosa Humane Society and youth organizations. His past community involve- ment has been as a Board Member of the American Cancer Board of Hendry County past member of the City of Clewiston Community Development Block Grant Com- mittee, LaBelle Swamp Cabbage Festival Committee, LaBelle July 4th Committee, Clewiston Sugar Festival Committee, Past Presi- dent of the Clewiston Kiwanis, Clewiston Jaycees, Past President of The Florida Jaycees District 112 and a past member of the Clewis- ton Elks Lodge. He coached the Clewiston Cougars Pop Warner Football and Jaycee Tee Ball League and been involved with many youth organi- zations in the past. He has volunteered for the Hendry County Students with Dis- abilities annual Christmas Party and always supported my com- munity and county in many ways including lobbying in Washington against NAFTA and many other legislative movements that have a negative effect on our community and schools. I have also represented this county in The Florida Legislature on important educational issues and funding for our school sys- tem.. "I believe the success of our educational system is our chil- dren, parents, teachers, school leadership, non instructional em- ployees, volunteers, School Board and residents of Hendry County which I greatly appreciate. I have worked in business management for over 25 years. I have served as your elective School Board Mem- ber for the last 14 years and rep- resented our county the on key issues in the Florida Legislature. I am currently a classroom teacher with administrative experience that can relate to current issues of today's educational system. I. was raised on faith along with the ways of love and gentle kindness of a small town Southern man. I believe that our greatest contribu- tions are the ones that we leave behind not what we take with us." Father son golf trip and finding the perfect college By Daniel Shube So, the Florida Swing on the PGA TOUR was over months ago. I wanted to do my own Florida Swing. Here's the deal. My son Spencer is ready to ap- ply to colleges. -The cost of go- ing out-of-state is exorbitant. So, we're taking the show on the road. As a golf and travel writer, whenever possible, I'm going to document the trip (and sneak in a road of,golf!). Unfortunately, our first stop at Orlando and the University of Central Florida (UCF) was cut short, so my golf plans were foiled. Besides, I visit Orlando often and always write about it. After Orlando, we headed west to Tampa to check out the University of South Florida. Our base of operations was the Quorum Hotel (www.Qu.o- rumTampa.com or (877) 478- 6786) located in the Westshore district. The location is very con- venient to the airport and down- town. The hotel recently.finished a $3.5 million renovation. The room was quite comfortable. The hotel is a mid-sized prop- erty - big enough to have all the amenities you need, yet small enough to be treated like family. Spencer enjoyed working out in the state-of-the-art fitness cen- ter. We all enjoyed the outdoor pool and spa. Another unexpect- ed plus was the Blue Water Grill. This lobby restaurant served breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks. The prices were moderate, the quality, presen- tation and service were excep- tional. Recently added was the Spencer preferred checking outdoor patio dining area. Large, flat-screen televisions were ev- erywhere. Perfect as we viewed the Euro Cup soccer finals. One night we took a trip downtown to the St. Pete Times Forum (www.sptimesforum. corn or (813) 301-2500) to see the XFC-MMA Spectacular. Spen- cer loves to watch these fight- ers go at it. This is a relatively new league that is based at this arena. In addition, The Forum is home to the NHL's Lightening, the Storm (arena football), con- certs and more. This is the kind of place a college student would frequent often! For more nightlife, we paid a visit to Ybor City (www.ybor. org). While I was interested in the cigar industry history, out all the clubs. Another fun nightspot we visited was Skip- per's Smokehouse (www.skip- perssmokehouse.com). As the name indicates, you will find some excellent smoked Florida fare and several gator options. They also have excellent local and big-name music. Did I mention golf? Spencer is saving golf for his retirement (he actually prefers the mixed martial arts or wrestling - while to me, golf is a physical sport!). I did sneak off to play the TPC Tampa Bay (www.tpctampabay. com or (813) PLAY-TPC). I always like to play courses that the professionals play. The Champions TOUR plays the Out- back Steakhouse Pro-Am at the TPC Tampa Bay. As I most often play in South- east Florida, the first thing I notice is the course is not flat! It is quite beautiful, plenty of varied trees, some water, just enough sand. There is also plenty of wildlife. While I was waiting to hit a tee shot, a family of wild turkeys ran across the fairway. The course has the designation of an Audu- bon Cooperative Sanctuary. In spite of my personal put- ting woes, I still appreciate nice greens. While the greens were recently aerified, I was assured that they would soon be stimp- ing at a speed 10. What I liked were the interesting designs of the greens. Some were small, re- quiring very accurate approach shots. Others were larger, unique shaped, still requiring precise irons. The TPC Tampa Bay was dif- ficult enough to present a chal- lenge, yet fair and enjoyable! If you want help with a trip to the Tampa Bay area enlist the help of Tampa Bay and Compa- ny (www.visittampabay.com or (800) 44-TAMPA). I almost forgot that we came to Tampa to visit USF! I hap- pened to love the campus. Spen- cer is not sure if he preferred UCF or USF. Next stop on my Florida Swing? Tallahassee and Florida State University (FSU).

Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee Thursday, July 17, 2008 Troubled homeowners should seek free legal assistance TALLAHASSEE-Florida Agri- culture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bron- son is encouraging homeowners threatened with foreclosure or fearful that their lending institu- tion may foreclose on their prop- erty to contact the Florida Bar Association to obtain free legal assistance. According to Florida Legal Services Inc., 77,000 state hom- eowners are in foreclosure, mak- ing Florida second in the nation only to California in the number of homes in that status. And many others are at least 30 days past due on their mort- gage payment, which places them at risk of having their loans foreclosed. Florida Legal Services and the Florida Bar Association have partnered in establishing a toll-free hotline -- 1-866-607-2187 -- that consumers can call to an- swer a few initial questions about their situation to ensure accurate placement with a free attorney. The attorney will then negoti- ate with the lender on behalf of the client to keep the home from being foreclosed. "I applaud Florida Legal Ser- vices and the Florida Bar for offer- ing this public service," Commis- ssioner Bronson said. "Home ownership remains a foundation of our society, leading to the stability of families and con- tributing significantly to our local, state and national economy, and any effort that helps families keep their homes in this uncertain economy is beneficial." Manatee deaths over emphasize threats More than 10,000 Florida at- services in the program, accord- ing to Florida Legal Services Inc. torneys have volunteered their Woman plays piano for 14 straight hours after using Thera-Gesic� BEXAR COUNTY- After applying Thera-Gesic� to her arthritic hands, Mdry Ann W. played piano jazz music for 14 straight hours. When asked why she played so long, especially since she never took lessons nor played piano before, she painless- ly replied, "None of your dang business!" Go painlessly with Therm-Gesicd Between Friday July 4th and Monday July 7th, 2008, six manatees were recovered and confirmed to have died from watercraft collisions throughout Florida. The manatees were recovered in Brevard, Citrus, Duval, Pinellas, and Sarasota counties, with two of the watercraft mortalities oc- curring in Pinellas County. Another manatee carcass re- covered on July 7, was identified at necropsy as Dundee, a mana- tee being tracked by the Manatee Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP). Dundee was born in captivity in 1986 and was first released into the.wild in 2006. At necropsy, a large tangle of monofilament fishing line, plastic, a lead weight, and a metal swivel were found in Dundee's small in- testine. This material caused a for- mational change in the small in- testine, which then resulted in a blockage that ultimately caused his death. Holidays are not the only dan- gerous times for manatees. On June 29, a manatee mother and her calf were rescued in Crys- tal River after the mother suffered a watercraft strike. In addition to these document- ed cases of injury or death, most living manatees bear scars from non-lethal boat strikes. Through July 7, 54 watercraft deaths and 198 total manatee deaths were reported in Florida, which are near-record totals. These statistics emphasize the threats faced by Florida's mana- tees and provide an opportunity to remind our state's residents and visitors to practice responsi- ble boating and fishing practices in order to keep our waters safe for manatees, other wildlife, and ourselves. . "People must remember that manatee mortality statistics re- flect the life and death of living creatures," said Dr. Katie Tripp, Save the Manatee Club's Director of Science and Conservation. We should never forget that manatees suffer as a result of hu- man carelessness. As a caring species ourselves, we should find such suffering un- acceptable."

Retirees find alternative to going back to work After leaving the rat race to en- joy retirement, many retirees find that their financial demands are greater than expected. Going back to work may seem like the only solution, however, an increasing number of retirees are opting to take out a reverse mortgage. According to a report by the Employee Benefit Research Insti- tute, 37 percent of retirees report having to go back to work after retirement. This is up from 27 percent in 2006. Finances were identified as one of the primary reasons. When you factor in retirees unable to go back to work due to a health-related problem or car- ing for a spouse, the percentage is much higher. For some retirees, going back to work is more a matter of want- ing to stay active and productive. For others, it is a financial ne- cessity. In either case, there are financial consequences to con- sider: It can decrease the benefit amount from Social Security for those who have begun receiving Social Security and have not yet WE DELIVER PIZZA 561-924-6009 --- --- - --- - - - - - CARRY OUT SPECIAL $5.99 LARGE CHEESE PIZZA - - - - - - - - - -- .

There is no change in the ben- efit amount from Social Security for those who have reached "full retirement age." It is a good idea to check with the Social Security Administra- tion before deciding to go back to work. They provide an online benefit calculator and useful information on their website www.socialse- curity.gov/retire2/whileworking. htm. You can also reach them at 800-772-1213. Other important consider- ations include a possible increase in your tax obligation and work- related expenses. Social Security benefits re- ceived at any age become partial- ly taxable once your income ex- ceeds a certain level (the specific amount is adjusted annually). Also, you have the expense of commuting to and from work. With the rising cost in gas pric- es, this may make going back to work cost-prohibitive. An alternative for many retir- ees faced with having to go back to work is to take out a reverse mortgage, which enables hom- eowners 62 and older to convert the equity in their home into a lump-sum payment, monthly in- come, a line of credit, or a com- bination. No repayment is required for as long as you occupy your home as your primary residence. "Funds from the reverse mort- gage do not affect Social Secu- rity or Medicare benefits," Steven Brooks, Senior Loan Officer at First Liberty Mortgage said. "Our senior customers have been able to continue to enjoy their retirement with the peace of mind of knowing they will not outlive their retirement income." (First Liberty Mortgage pro- vides you with a free reverse mortgage informational package and confidential estimate by call- ing them toll-free at 800-642-3188 or by visiting www.mytreasure- coastloan.com.) The -money from the reverse mortgage is tax-free because it is not considered income. As a retirement tool, the re- verse mortgage is growing in popularity. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reports that 9,112 reverse mort- gages were endorsed in May 2008. This brings the year-to-date total to 73,875, a 3.3 percent in- crease over 2007. For retirees who are not able, or do not enjoy the prospect of having to go back to work, the reverse mortgage may just be the answer.

The district said that it needs only 120,000 acres of the land in question, which will primarily be used in efforts to restore the Everglades. What will happen to the rest of the land and the sugar company's assets is unknown at this time, however. "It's very important that the county commissioners are mov- ing forward with an advocate to speak for us," said Mali Cham- ness, the mayor of Clewiston. "The county made a critical deci- sion to safeguard the economic future of Hendry County." "It was necessary to hire a legal counsel as we go through the next few weeks in the whole process of the sugar buyout," the Clewiston mayor continued. "The community's voices need to be. heard by our governor. He's the one with the power to ensure there is a viable economical plan through OTTER" OTTEP stands for the Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development. The framework of the contract, which is expected to be finalized in less than 75 days, calls for a six- year transition plan, which effec- tively means that U.S. Sugar will close all of its operations in 2014. "All of us in local government mirror each other as to what we need to do for our constituents and our community," said Janet Taylor, the chairperson of the, county commission and represen- tative for District 1 (Clewiston and Harlem), "We are all on board to make sure that our communities are sustained and even improved. The only was this could happen is if all of us work together and get our voices heard by the state." The next meeting regarding the U.S. Sugar land deal will be on Monday, July 21 at 10 a.m. in the John Boy Auditorium. Rep- reseritatives from The Florida Heartland Rural and Economic Development Initiative (FHREDI), OTTEP, the water district, the sug- ar company and local leaders will be among those in attendance. "It's important for the county's residents to come to this upcom- ing meeting with ideas to voice their thoughts for economic de- velopment and growth," Mayor Chamness said. "We hope every- one who can will attend."

He said they would be less expensive than conventional reservoirs like the C-43 Reservoir planned for the old Berry property west of LaBelle and would have the added benefit of providing a Riverwatch/John Capece This artist's rendering of a new CaloosaHatchee Riverway was unveiled to the folks from Riverwatch at a July 9 presen- tation. better quality of life for all variet- ies of residents. He visualizes Lake LaBelle as offering opportunities for camp- ing, restaurant/lodges, retail business and concessions. There would be high sections and low sections that would not ac- commodate water all year. The depth would fluctuate naturally although he estimates it would average about 6 feet in depth. . There would be some natural seepage. The lower lake (closer to river) would hold water most of the year while the upper lake would be dry or marshy part of the year. With the stoppage of work on SFWMD reservoir projects and the sugar deal, Mr. Michael feels this is a good time to rethink retooling this entire area as it fits into the big picture and in tune with how residents see their future. The C-43 Reservoir is a single use structure like the Herbert Hoover Dike surrounding Lake Okeechobee, Mr. Michael point- ed out, and includes a five-story pump facility and would be sur- rounded by ditches. Mr. Michael told the group his plan involves ecosystem restora- Riverwatch/John Capece Riverwatch members and other interested parties intently lis- tened to a July 9 presentation on one possible revamping on the Caloosahatchee River and surrounding area that could take the sting out of recent economic developments. tion and storm water manage- ment without neglecting other needs like agriculture, parks and eco-tourism. It incorporates both ecology and the economy. The plan extends south of the lake where he would put in a se- ries of waterways and small lakes surrounding the current cities of Clewiston. and Belle Glade. His idea is to convert some of the ag- ricultural jobs to tourism-related work, but agriculture would also continue in the area. Keith Richter, candidate for House District 72 (which em- compasses DeSoto County and parts of Charlotte and Lee) was on hand at the meeting, testify- ing to the interest in what hap- pens to the Caloosahatchee, Lake Okeechobee and the sugar deal by west coast dwellers. Mr. Michael told the group that the community needs to talk about options and break the current mold of thinking, letting SFWMD and the Department of Environmental Protection know What locals want. Riverwatch's John Capece agreed that we need to invest in our natural systems and need to parallel them with creative agri- cultural systems. He is in favor of paying farmers to store water on their land. He added that we need to keep events in the larger world in mind because they also have a lo- cal effect. Agriculture fills the basic need of feeding people and cannot be ignored or shoved off to other ar- eas that might cause worse prob- lems. O'Bradys Continued From Page 1 Ms. Wilson said a couple told her, "We don'f want to eath too much here, because we're going to Beef O'Brady's to help the foun- dation." The hospital foundation board is set up to raise funds for spe- cial projects at the hospital. The money doesn't go toward paying salaries, or to fund essential ser- vices there, but to enhance the hospital. The foundation focuses most- ly on fundraising efforts, like this one, and 100 percent of the funds acquired by it are invested back into the hospital. In the past year, hospital em- ployees started pitching in, donat- ing a part of their paycheck to the foundation. The money has gone on to pay for a redecoration, with newly painted rooms, atomic clocks in- stalled throughout the facility, ar- tificial flower decorations -- just a general attention to aesthetics. Future programs promise to be even more substantive, and the foundation has its eyes set on expanding the hospital to include a new surgery suit, emergency room and laboratory. "I've gone on Tuesdays and we see a lot of people saying, 'We came today just to give to the foundation,'" said Ms. Wilson. "It's touching."

Egley has eyes set on County Superintendent Robert Egley was born and raised in Clewiston. He graduated from Clewiston High School in 1974. After earning his AA degree, Egley transferred to the University of Florida. During his tenure at the University of Florida, he played football for the Florida Gators as a walk-on, and coached football and baseball at Gainesville High School. Upon graduating from the University of Florida with his BS degree, he taught Driver's Educa- tion and Science at New Smyrna Beach Senior High School and coached football, baseball and track. After several years at the high school level, Egley's ca- reer path took him to a level he never dreamed was possible. He coached at the college and pro- fessional levels for six years. His coaching resume included stops at Clemson University, the Arizona Wranglers and the Chicago Blitz of the United States Football League (USFL), the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) and Mississippi State University (MSU). Egley earned his Masters Degree in Educational Leader- ship with a minor in Curriculum and Instruction while'coaching at MSU. After being fired four times in six years as a college and pro- fessional coach, he decided to return to his original "calling" as a public school educator. Egley began to re-build his career as a professional educator by serv- ing as an assistant principal at the high school and elementary school level for eight years. He then returned to Mississippi State University where he earned his Doctorate in Educational Leader- ship with a minor in Curriculum and Instruction. During his ten- ure in Mississippi, Egley served as a principal at the elementary, middle and high school levels for seven more years. In 2001, Egley was lured away from the K-12 arena to become an assistant professor in the Educa- tional Leadership and Curriculum Studies Department at the Univer- sity of South Florida St. Petersburg (USFSP). Egley taught undergrad- uate and graduate courses in cur- riculum and instruction as well as numerous educational leadership courses for graduate students. He served as the interim Chair of the Department and served orfa num- ber of university level commit- tees. During his tenure at USFSP, he published 21 research articles, co-authored a scholarly book on dealing with marginal employees and presented his research at 27 conferences at the state, national and international levels. In 2005, Egley returned to Hendry County and became prin- cipal at Clewiston High School (CHS). He has made many posi- tive changes at the school dur- ing this period. Oneof his most memorial accomplishments has been the academic improvement of the students. Over a three-year period, the students, teachers and administration have seen FCAT scores improve. This year CHS earned the highest points ever re- corded as measured by the FCAT. Egley believes he has the at- titude, experience, knowledge and skills and to lead our schools. He said he understands that 'edu- cational leaders must earn the trust of the students, parents and teachers. This trust leads to great- er commitment. When students, parents and teachers have high levels of trust and commitment, continuous improvements can be achieved, system-wide. Robert Egley needs your sup- port.
