County Nixes Rodeo Grounds Concert After Discussion With Promoter LaBelle, FL ­ The 30-hour musical event, Solace, originally announced to be in LaBelle on November 7-8 at the LaBelle Rodeo Grounds, has been postponed according to concert producer Joseph Stubblefield, of Team Jesus Wins. ''Unforeseeable circumstances'' were the reasons stated by Stubblefield. The Hendry Recreation Board had given permission for the use of the grounds without cost, not knowing that Stubblefield was intending to sell camping spaces for up to 120 24' x 24' sites at $45 to $55, and sell admission tickets from $8 to $15. Stubblefield, who runs the for-profit company Team Jesus Wins, apparently got free use of the rodeo grounds by not telling county officials the full details, and by associating the event with a local church ministry. The event was to be ''sponsored'' by Bull Pit Outreach Ministry of LaBelle, according to a previous press release. A ''portion'' of the proceeds was to benefit the American Red Cross, he said. Stubblefield's press release said the LaBelle Rodeo Grounds can host 3,000 in the arena, and the first 1,000 War Veterans to show a Military ID card were to get in free.

BBQ Restaurant Gets It's First Food Safety Inspection LABELLE, FL. -- The state of Florida's Division of Hotels and Restaurants is required to do periodic inspections of restaurants, hotels and motels each year, and publishes the results of each inspection online for the public. The local restaurant Log Cabin Barbeque of LaBelle re-opened in LaBelle recently, and it's first state inspection resulted in six critical food safety items to be addressed by the new owners, including no evidence of required employee training. The restaurant is at 480 State Road 80 in downtown LaBelle, owned by Glenn Schofield operating as Log Cabin Barbecue of LaBelle LLC. Schofield has been active in real estate investments in the area for a number of years. A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below. The department cites violations of Florida's sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code. In general, critical violations are those that, if not corrected, are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination, illness or environmental damage. Although we use the industry-standard term critical , varying degrees of severity and potential risk to the public require inspectors to assess each situation in determining the appropriate action. In addition, while an establishment may have multiple violations, the inspectors' training and judgment formulate the overall result of the inspection to ensure the public health and safety. While most establishments correct all violations in a timely manner (often during the inspection), the division's procedures are designed to compel compliance with all violations through follow-up visits, administration action or closure when necessary. Violation Observation 02-13-2 Critical. Required consumer advisory for raw/undercooked animal food not provided. 22-17-1 Critical. Observed soiled reach-in cooler gaskets. 32-04-1 Critical. Bathroom not enclosed with tight-fitting, self-closing doors. 32-08-1 Critical. No waste receptacle provided at handwash lavatory with disposable towels. 32-16-1 Critical. Hand wash sink lacking proper hand drying provisions. 53B-08-1 Critical. No proof of required employee training provided. All public food service establishments must provide the division with proof of employee training upon request, including, but not limited to, at the time of any division inspection of the establishment.

Two Men Caught In Burglary CLEWISTON, FL. -- On October 18, 2009, deputies with the Hendry County Sheriff's Office responded to 208 Pine Lane, in Montura Ranch Estates, a rural community west of Clewiston, after receiving a report of a burglary in progress. Once deputies arrived they made contact with two men, 24 year old Ralph Herbert Landrum (photo left) and 21 year old Ben Milton Wilson who were repairing a flat tire on a silver truck they were driving. Deputies were told by Landrum that the owner, his stepfather, had given him permission to be on the property. Based on the complaint received from a witness, deputies contacted the property owner, William Burkett, who did tell deputies that he had not given anyone, including his stepson, permission to be on his property nor had he given them permission to remove any property. Deputies walked around the rear of the home and found the rear window open with the screen torn off and a green plastic chair next to the window. The suspects, Ralph Herbert Landrum and Ben Milton Wilson were then taken into custody and placed under arrest. Deputies found, located inside the silver truck that was being driven by Landrum and Wilson, miscellaneous items that had been removed from the home, to include prescription medication that was later returned to its owner. It was further found that a tire and rim that the suspects were going to use to replace their flat tire belonged to a neighbor. The suspects had taken it from the porch area of the neighbor�s home and it was also returned to its owner. Landrum, a convicted felon, and Wilson were arrested and charged with Criminal Mischief, Unoccupied Dwelling Unarmed, Trespassing in a Structure or Conveyance, Larceny, Synthetic Narcotic Possession, and Drug Possession of a Controlled Substance without a Prescription. Landrum is currently being held in the Hendry County jail on $16,000.00 bond and Wilson is being held on $11,500.00 bond.

Concerns Over Caregiver Criminals In Facilities Sparks Review CLEWISTON, FL. -- Governor Charlie Crist has announced he will convene select state agencies charged with reviewing legal requirements for screening individuals to work in facilities that provide care to children, the elderly and persons with disabilities. The group's findings will be presented to the Governor by November 2, 2009. Hendry county has several group homes and child care facilities who have convicted felons working at them, including one child care facility owner who has a current criminal case pending against them. ''When it comes to the safety and security of Florida's vulnerable populations, we must make every effort to ensure that their professional caregivers do not have criminal histories,'' Governor Crist said. I want to thank the members of the media – and especially the South Florida Sun-Sentinel – for examining the current practice of background screening to ensure the safety of our most vulnerable individuals. Currently, certain employees of child day care centers, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other residential care settings must pass a criminal background check as a hiring requirement. The agencies will review the use of criminal background checks, the process for granting exemptions, and the process that allows employees to begin working before background checks are completed. The group's findings will be presented to Governor Crist to improve the safety of Florida's children and vulnerable adults by using available technology to streamline procedures and revisiting the process of granting exemptions. The following state agencies will participate: · Agency for Health Care Administration · Agency for Persons with Disabilities · Florida Department of Children and Families · Florida Department of Education · Florida Department of Elder Affairs · Florida Department of Health · Florida Department of Juvenile Justice · Florida Department of Law Enforcement Upon learning of the recent news reports, Governor Crist ordered a complete review of current background-screening policies. At the Governor's direction, Deputy Chief of Staff Dave Foy first met with agency representatives on August 21 to begin gathering information, which has continued during the past two months. The agencies will meet for the first time Thursday at 4:00 p.m. in the Governor's Large Conference Room.
