| This town may not be perfect but....tell me a town that is. I would live no where else. I like going to a place of business and they remember your name ask how the family is ect. Maybe we dont have the conveniences of Ft. Myers but we also dont have the crime or traffic.

| What bothers me is when people take a perfectly good name or word and make it something ugly. The term "Cracker" is a point of historic pride in Florida. It has nothing to do with racism. It has to do with recognizing the hard working pioneers who settled this land.

| Razorback75 and Crackercrumbs....... Used in the context that you are writing about here, you are exactly right. However, if you read the post that I was referring to, you will see that the person who wrote it was obviously trying to make a "cracker" out to be something bad. I am also a Florida Cracker. As I said before, I have been here all my life. My family has worked cows. As a matter of fact, my husband has worked cows as well. My daughter is a barrell racer and we love our heritage. I know all about waking up at 4:00 AM and cooking breakfast, sattling horses, packing lunches and loading up horse trailers. Been there, done that. I do not appreciate some person, from wherever, trying to degrade the values and lifestyle which I have grown up in and have chosen to enstill in my children. I apologize if what I said was offensive to you. I was in no way trying to speak unkindly about a TRUE, HARDWORKING, HONEST, FLORIDA CRACKER.

Florida "Crackers" are the pioneers who settled the land. They were called "Cracker Cowhunters" because they used their whips to herd cattle and cracked their whips to communicate with their neighbors with their own kind of code. For exmaple, three loud cracks rapid fire meant "I need help!" Those whip cracks, done properly, can be heard for miles.
They were "hunters" because in the swamp and brush you can't use a rope to catch your cattle. They used dogs and whip to gather them up and herd them.
A "Florida Cracker" is a native Floridian who came from those pioneer families. And some Florida Crackers were not not white.
I am not a Florida Cracker, but I certainly am not insulted if someone mistakes me for one. I find Florida history and hertiage fascinating.

| Okay.....am I detecting a little sting of racism?? The only reason I ask is you are talking about crackers.......now the only people who have ever called white people crackers are those who wish they were white and those who are white but who don't measure up, so they choose to act like they are another race. I myself am not racist, I was born here, raised here and I love it here. I have been other places out of this area and out of this state, I happen to like it here. I have friends who are from all nationalities, races, colors and creeds. That is intelligence. Knowing that there are all types of people out there and being culturally competent enough to try to understand them. We can learn a lot from other people. I have learned that to ignore the facts doesn't change them, and the fact is......there are white........well there are " crackers " everywhere. If you aren't happy with yourself, you can't be happy with others. Talk about ignorance, it is alive and well everywhere with people who hate others because they aren't the same skin color or they like a different type of music, food, car, recreation( mud bogging )WHATEVER !!

Everybody knows Crackers don't have the mentality to solve problems.
I also see here, the same thing in the middle east that made me so mad. Kids out of car seats.Did you do anything about it? NO. Actually, I say somthing every time I see it( and I am in the position to see it quite a bit) And I have called the police three times to have something done, to no avail of coarse. How ignorant is that. I have never seen child abuse so rampant in the U.S.. I personally blame it on lack of education. If your to dumb to know that your child can die so easily in a car accident unbuckled then you don't see it as a problem. Furthermore, if the police are to ignorant to to do anything about it, well... on it goes.
This place is nothing but drugs, crime, poor law enforcement, poor parenting , poor education system, under quality, over priced housing, poor jobs, poor economy, poor restaurants. No entertainment. Unless yunta go hoguntin in my swampbuggy ya'll. Scat, shoo ,Don't let the door hit you on the ass.(translated, if you have a better place to go ,then by all means go)If you need help translating anything I have wrote you can look it up in somthing called a dictionary, they even have them available in this little magic box your playing on.

It just as CitzenGC said" It's called progress, things of the past are just that..... Things of the past."
I still consider to myself to be one of the younger family raising generation in this town. I am not a farmer nor do I have anything to do with the agricultural community. I am one all for progress. But for a city to grow and prosper its community needs to want the change and accept it. Face it, this town is not just a little oak covered orange grove with a country store as far to many remember it and yearn for it to be. This town is on the verge of growing into a viable city for people of all ages and economic divisions to work, live raise their families and be proud to call it home.
Sure with progress comes change, some good and some bad. I for one would like to see this city and county grow and progress to a point where the fundamentals of our society can be self sustaining such as school and police funding. Will that ever happen, perhaps with this election we have taken a step in the right direction. I suppose only time will tell.
Later

Cops don't need to know what and how many weapons people have, at least not law abiding citizens. Criminals ain't going to be going to the gun range to practice, believe me when you got guns involved there will be cops snooping around or working undercover at the range taking notes on who's who.

This is LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING ONLY! Go practice in your back yard, this isn't for you..
reading back you never clarified law enforcment only. most cops end up shooting themselves in the foot anyway, yep I agree they could use the practice there barney.

| It seems like a great plan........calling on a deputy to help with strangers.....wouldn't it be nice to get some help. For instance....Monday night at 11:12 PM I began calling the HCSO in LaBelle, I live near Freedom Fellowship on 29. There was music loud enough to keep myself, my husband and to children awake. We had to call three times to get anyone out there. By the time I finally got up out of bed......while WAITING......and went to the church myself, it was 12:15 AM. There was someone there from the church who went inside to ask the people there to stop playing the music and the deputy drove through the parking lot......HE NEVER STOPPED !! I watched him drive right through. So, though it seems like a great plan, it doesn't always work. I hope our new Sheriff can make the changes we need. I have confidence in him and his abilities. Oh, and to squash any doubts, I read my bible, pray and attend church regularly. I Love the Lord and I have no problem with the church. I do however have an issue with playing music so loud that my family can not sleep when we have to get up the next day.

I feel that LaBelle is still a wonderful little town and i love it, the rural character of this small town where everyone knows almost everyone, people here wave driving by, say hi to each other shopping the stores and fellowship in church is strong.
The other elements here we can identify and deal with, we have a new sheriff and commission we need to encourage them to be visible and address our concerns, its still a great place to live, lets pitch in and help.

One of the nice things about living in a small town is yes we have to work but we aren't that far away from them. And most of the time we know what happen at school before they get home. If we lived in a larger town we may be 45 minutes away from our children and not have as much hands on . So I guess what I am saying is in some ways it is good to live in a small town and yes I do wish we could have some of the old ways back. But you know your family is what you make of it if I want to teach my children about the bible I am going to do it.
And may I add ,I was reading letters to Santa,these third graders was I want a XBOX or similar don't cripple your kids with these games,Parents quit making the TV your babysitter.There is no reason why any child shouldn't be taught the Bible at home or church,and teach your children to pray.If your child misbehaves spank them.Parents quit being a Joner and giving them everything all the other kids have save your money and take them on a great vacation,give your child chores and punishment for not doing them ,stand up to your kids and be a parent .I'm of the opinion it does not take a village to raise a child ,just a good parent.LaBelle is a great town to raise your kids.And no you can't leave your doors unlocked there are to many strangers out there now if you see a stranger on your road ,if you don't want to confront them call the law and have your neighbors do the same.JMHO

| It seems that the stoires I here from my mother are becoming less of a thing of the future and more of a thing of the past. I am a young person in town, however I have lived here my whole life. The more technology we get, the faster things go. We need to slow down a bit and get back to helping each other. When I was you it seems like it would have been nothing to babysit for the neighbors or give the elderly lady down the street a hand with her yard work. Now we are lucky if we have time to do our own work. The faster things go, the less pride we take in them. As for these people dragging the name of our town through the mud, I think they are a perfect example of those who are spoiled by the easy come and they are not willing to let go. The should stop thinking of only themselves and start thinking about those they are supposed to have been working to help.

We have all this technology, and communication you would think we would help each other. But no, we have to put caller ID and blocks on our phones. Firewalls and virus protection, spam and spy ware every form of communication we have we have to protect.
Its not just LaBelle, its this world. What are we becoming?

Oh, yes those were the days. You could leave the doors unlocked. You could let your children walk where they needed to go. They could walk or ride bikes to school. Things are different now.

| It started to decline around the time SR80 was four laned through town and all the oaks were cut down to the east.

Your right there was a time when this was the friendly hometown where everyone you saw you either got a hi or a smile. It hasn't been that way in a long time. Its sad when times change and not for the best.
So where did it all go wrong? And can we ever get this county straighten up.
Are the tax payers going to end up paying for the wrong done by others?
Its very sad

LaBelle was a good town to rear a family. Now, we do not have good water. Some are wondering if the current sheriff will leave enough equipment for the incoming sheriff to run the department. Who is going to pay for the lawsuit that the property appraisor has filed? So much for the gentleman sheriff and the lady in the tax office. They sure leave a bitter taste, don't they? I hope both of them have a change of heart, that we will soon have good water. One of these days, I hope we can be proud to say we live in LaBelle.
