County Commissioners OK'd

Yvette Savery, Hardee Disposal

the Drug Task Force.
And they will face significant

Florida history buffs and architecture lovers are invited to tour the recently restored Carlton homeplace, The Little White House,
on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. The wooden structure was built in 1905 by Carl Carlton, son of Hardee County pioneers Albert and
Martha (McEwen) Carlton. He and wife Daisy (Platt) had two children there, Matred (Olliff) and Mattie Mae (Saunders). The 100-
!year-old residence has been approved for designation as a Florida Century Pioneer Family Farm by the state Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services. It sits on the property of Dr. Barbara Carlton, who lovingly restored it and now uses it as a
guest house. The home is located at 3587 W. Main St. in Wauchula, and visitors to the open house will be able to meet members
of the Carl Carlton family and several former residents of the house.

Kelly's Column
By Jim


Our youngest son, Jonathan, turned into a teenager April 22. He has
been such a joy that I could "age freeze" him at 10:to 12 years old fora few
more years. However, that is not the way life works.
Jonathan could be a spokesperson for the national blueberry associa-
tion. He loves to eat them.
Last year he ate a bunch of them after Deloris Johnson turned her field
in the Popash area into "Li-pick."
This weekend coming back from the Avon Park Bombing Range we
stopped at a blueberry U-pick field between the range ard Avon Park. The.
field is owned by Gladys Cox. The price was, $2 a pound for U-pick or $3
a pound already harvested. We picked about six pounds. Jonathan ate quite
a few on the way home.
Other favorite foods include watermelon, bananas, steak, wild game,
lasagna, swamp cabbage, PBJ sandwiches, strawberries, seafood, rice and
gravy, corned beef and grits.
Speaking of blueberries, Henscratch Farms Vineyard and Nursery in
Highlands County will host its first annual Blueberry Festival on Saturday,
-May 14, from 9 to 4. Blueberry pancake breakfast will be served from 9 to
11 a.m. A hot dog roast begins at 11. There will be arts and crafts, antique
cars. Bluegrass music, blueberry pie eating contests, blueberry pie baking
-contest. a Blueberry Pie Queen crowned, \winery tours and wine tasting.
Parking and admission are free. Call 863-699-2060 for more information.

It looks like the Tampa Bay Bucs had a good draft of college players
over the weekend. Fans hope the team can improve on 7-9 and 5-11 records
of the last two years.

The Hardee Wildcat football team next week will begin spring prac-
tice. The Wildcats have a 32-game regular season winning streak, longest
'in the state. Hardee should have another good team in 2005. Wildcat
Stadium will be repaired and ready for the '05 season, says superintendent
of schools Dennis Jones.

Hardee's business landscape is changing a lot since the 2004'hurri-
canes. Gone is Hill's Midway, the old Wauchula Feed Store building, the
old McDoiald & Olliff citrus plant building, the old Slaughter Motors
building'and the old Carlton Bank building. those were five landmarks.

Barbara Carlton, executive director ,of Peace River Valley Citrus
Growers Association, said about one-third of impacted citrus growers have
;still not received their hurricane damage checksfrom the federal govern-
ment.

The Hardee High School baseball team had a 17-6 record after Monday
night and was tied for the lead in district. The district tournament will be
held next week in Lake Placid.

A DIFFERENT DOLLAR Just A Buck is not just another dollar
store. "We are a bit different from regular dollar-store chains," employee
Norma Sanchez said.
All of the store's items are priced from 99 cents to $1.99, and are per-
sonally selected by owner Amantha Hill.
Just A Buck opened recently in the Hardee County Centre on U.S. 17
South in Wauchula! After opening Hill said that a lot of customers came in
asking for hair products. Currently she is using a back room of the dollar
store to feature select beauty supplies. Hill is looking to expand the beauty
supply into its own store as soon as she finds a location.
Hill and Sanchez jointly own the laundromat located in the same plaza.
It opened in April of last year, was forced to close because of the hurricanes
and reopened in February.
The store is open Sunday-Saturday, usually by 8 a.m., and until 7:30
Ip'm. In a few months the store will extend its hours and remain open until
9 p.m.
'REFUELED AND READY Suburban Propane reopened on:
Monday of last week. The Wauchula store had been closed for eight months
Sdue to hurricane damage.
Quite a few repairs had to be made, and with contractors backed up, it
was difficult to get someone in,.explained customer service manager Jay.
S Miller. The entire inside of the store has beeAremodeled, a new roof added
Sand new computer equipment installed.
Customers will notice a new sign out front and a freshly painted.build-
S ing. Plants have also been put in to improve the landscape.
S Suburban Propane is located at 518 S, Sixth Ave. (U.S. 17), and its
hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-5 p.m.

"The federal system is like a
black hole," Wauchula Police Chief
William Beattie, also a Drug Task
Force member, commented.
"Once they go over to the feds, they
never come back. The federal peo-
ple come over and take them away,
and we never see them again.' It's
like they just vanish."
Det. Kyle Bermingham of the
Wauchula Police Department and
the Drug Task Force said the
group's "interest" in the suspects
began with information received
from confidential sources.
The investigators were able to
identify four main suppliers for the
rest of the dealers. "Those four
were the biggest part of the whole
investigation, the primary focus of
the investigation," Nicholson said.
The detective explained that the
investigative technique involved
taking down the street dealers and
Then learning who their suppliers
were, and then who supplied them
as well.
"We started at the bottom and
worked our way up, with buys and
then with search warrants and
arrests," he said.
"First to come down," he added,
"was Andrew Garza."
Following Garza, 20, of 1585
Dena Cir., Zolfo Springs, was Jose
"Big Chileno" Castellanos-
Gonzalez, 26, General Delivery,
Zolfo Springs.
Then came Alejandro Huipio, 25,
of 8211 Crewsville Road, Zolfo
Springs; Michael Wingate, 25, of
309 Georgia St., Wauchula; and
Cornelia Mae "Connie" 'Vickers,
45, of 3024 Jack Jones Road,
Wauchula.
The four main targets were next.
A statement from the DEA says
the four were among five indicted
by a federal grand jury on April 13.
Nicholson said the four were
taken into custody the next day,
April 14. They are Ninfa Gomez,
29, of 316 N. 10th Ave., Waucliula;
Fernando "Chaparro" Gamboa-


lems. Todd has been in private practice for over 20 years and worked for
IRS for 27 years. ,
Todd's sister is Avis Sasser of Wauchula, She is a retired Wauchula city
clerk. His brother is the late Kay Silverman, a legendary local car and truck
salesman. Kay sold Fords and later Chevrolets.
Last Friday Todd, who loves nature, and I canoed Peace River Friday
morning from Bowling Green to Wauchula. There were lot of trees blown
down from the storms. The river is peaceful and quiet. We saw several alli-.
gators and herons. Fishing in the river has not recovered since the hurri-
canes.


Jim Faerber, owner of Central Florida Lawn and Garden, wants the
"blinking light" at Main Street and Eighth Avenue in Wauchula changed to
the old way red, green andyellow. The current blinking is red on Eighth
and yellow (caution) on Main.
He said this causes confusion to some drivers, saying there have been
,three accidents in less than two years and one recent case of "road rage"
where two drivers-a man and a woman-got angry and shook fists teach
other.
The last accident occurred April 18 when a car broke two plate glass
windows, damaged two lawnmowers, and harmed the floor. Part of the car
wound up inside the store.
Faerber believes the Wauchula City Council may soon change the
blinking light to be similar to the one at Main and Seventh.

Facts from the April 2005 Fertilizer Institute Advocate, a national pub-
licationri: ..
Each American farmer feeds 129 people.
The USDA predicts in 2005 American farmers will plant 81.4 million
acres of corn, up 1 percent; 73.9 million acres of soybeans, a 2 percent
decline; 58.6 million acres of wheat, down 2 percent; and 13.8 million acres
of cotton, up 1 percent. For perspective, Hardee County has just over
400,000 acres in its entirety.
Fertilizer demand is expected to remain strong in 2005. American
farmers are now using fertilizer nutrients with the greatest efficiency in his-
tory. U.S. corn production has grown 57.8 percent since 1980 with the
Amount of nitrogen dropping 2 percent. Phosphate use has dropped 24 per-
cent and potash hasbeen reduced 26.8 percent to grow the corn crop since
1980.
New technologies include soil testing, field mapping, precision-timed
fertilizer application, and enhanced control for weeds, diseases and pests.
Farmers are encouraged to us best management practices.

S The November 29; 2004, Forbes magazine reported Cargill is the
Largest U.S. -based private company with 2003 revenues of $62.9 billion,.
up 15.6 percent over 2002. Cargill is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minn.,
is in agricultural commodities and food, and has 101,000 employees.
Ranked No. 4 was Publix Supermarkets based in Lakeland, with 2003
sales of $16.9 billion, up 5.7 percent over 2002, with 125,000 employees.

Forbes quoted John Hopkins University applied economics professor
Steve Hanke as saying oil prices have doubled since 2001, causes include'
demand growth (China-India factor), capacity problems (hurricanes), and
inventory...
Hanke said in November 2001 President George W. bush ordered the
federal government to purchase oil and fill its reserves to full capacity' of
700 million barrels. the reserve in late 2004 was at 670 million barrels and
should be filled to capacity by May 2005. He says this repurchase program
has added about $10 a barrel to the price, which historically was $14 to $41
a barrel from 1988 through 2001 95 percent of the time. By late 2004 oil
.had soared to over $50 a barrel.
I wonder if the Iraq war had some impact on higher oil and gas prices.
Hopefully, when the U.S. oil reserve capacity is filled at mid-year we can
expect prices to come down.

Another 11-29-04 Fories article reports many Americans are taking
prescription pills for "innocuous ills, when' simple lifestyle changes of diet
and exercise-harped on by physicians for decades-are more effective
Sand a lot cheaper," wrote Robert Langreth.
America ranks a "mediocre" 29th in the world in life expectancy..
Americans are fatter and more out of shape than ever, said Langreth.
S He said Wesley Miller in West Virginia had triple bypass surgery in
1994 arid by 2001 was on 16 drugs and in bad shape. By 2004 Miller, now
65, went on a program of daily exercise, stress reduction, group support and
a diet low, in fat and high-in vegetables and whole grains. He became very
healthy and now takes a daily aspirin and one pill for hypertension

The DEA said its interest in
Hardee County came following a
September 2002 methamphetamine
investigation in Arcadia and
DeSoto County. Seven suspects
were arrested there, the,DEA said,
and those who cooperated with
authorities said their sources of
supply came from Hardee and Polk
counties.
Together, the Hardee County
Drug Task Force, the federal Drug
Enforcement Administration, the
Polk County High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area team, the Manatee
County Sheriff's Office and the
Florida Highway Patrol worked to
bring the supply stream to an end.
Nicholson said investigative
methods employed by the local
Drug Task Force include monitor-
ing phone calls, surveillance of sus-
pects, background checks, check-
ing known associates, conferring
with other law enforcement agen-
cies, making purchases using confi-
dential informants and using wire-
less electronic monitoring devices
and aerial photo imaging.
Seized were 57 ounces of crystal
meth, with a street value of
$125,000; 45 pounds of marijuana,
valued at $100,000 on the street;
and 3.5 grams of cocaine at $300.
Confiscated cash amounted to
$17,430.
Also taken were six pistols and
one shotgun.

DeSoto and Highlands County. In
almost all of them, Hardee's current
rates were markedly lower than
adjoining counties.
"Diesel fuel has gone from $1.30
to $2.40 and when equipment
breaks down there is no money to
fix it. With the increased rates we
can provide better service," said
Damaro.
Savery said there has been spe-
cial emphasis in recent weeks in
addressing complaints, and com-
missioners acknowledged they
have received less themselves.
"They ate less than one percent of
our customers," she said. "The

Humanity is a Christian help orga-
nization, Belmares will be given a
Bible, too, Warren said.
Warren said those coming to join
in the celebration will be able to
tour the house. Refreshments will
be served as well, she said.
Last-minute preparations for the
dedication include one final detail
at the homesite on Saturday, and
that is the laying of sod. Warren is
asking anyone willing to help to
come by starting at 7:30 a.m. If a
large number of volunteers show
up, the task could be completed
within a couple hours, she said.
In addition to that, volunteers
who are able to work in any aspect
of home construction may join the
local Habitat For Humanity unit by
calling Sherron Jensen at the
Habitat office, 773-0579. There
are jobs for every skill level, from
simple to complex. In fact, skills
are not as necessary as willing
hands. All helpers are welcome.
Warren said the locaf group has
been aided recently by Habitat
International workers from
Kentucky, South Carolina and
Pennsylvania.
She said homes three and four
are currently under construction.
Both are located in Wauchula.


Compensation, we cannot ask dri-
vers to lift over 50 pounds," she'
said, explaining the 50-pound limit.
Others repeatedly put out yard I
trash not bundled and much larger
than can be handled. "It's not an
open door policy. We want to coop-
erate and serve everyone Within
reason and have instructed our dri-'
vers accordingly.".
The assessment rates were based
on average tonnage for the number
of homes serviced. If this is higher
than the statistical, average, a
review of household rates may also
be in order later in the year, said
Albritton.
Commissioners noted some of
the commercial rate increases were
as much as 30 percent, but neces-

Wildcats


By JOAN SEAMAN
The Hardee Wildcat nine contin-
ued their winning ways last week.
The Cats cruised past Frostproof,
Lemon Bay and Mulberry for a
week's sweep of opponents.
Frostproof and Mulberry were the
final two district opponents for the
regular season.
The Cats finish tied with Avon
Park, each with an 8-2 District 10
record. Although they split games
during the season, each winning on
the other's field, Hardee had a total
of seven runs in the two encounters
and Avon Park had four. Hardee
also had the better season record.
Avon Park may have the edge in
total scores against district oppo-
nents Frostproof, Mulberry, Lake
Placid and DeSoto.
The Cats end the regular season
this week. They hosted Lakeland
Santa Fe on Monday evening,
greeted Sebring for Senior Night on
Tuesday and play the season finale
at Fort Meade tonight (Thursday).
The Class 3A District 10, held
this year at Lake Placid, begins
May 2. Seedings have not yet been
announced.

The Lady Cats ended a difficult
season on a difficult note in an 11-
1 loss to DeSoto in the opening
games of the single-elimination
post-season playoffs.
Seniors Stephanie Cobb, Morgan
Norris, Kyla Shiver and Kim Ward
played their final game in a Wildcat
uniform. Classmate April Buckley
did not come to the game.
The lackluster effort highlighted
what has been an uphill season for
the Lady Cats. under first-year
coach Donnie Carver. Hopefully,
he can meld the remaining varsity
girls and some up from the junior
varsity into a fighting Lady Cat
squad next season.

Avery, Amber Steedley, Katie
Bryan, Nicole Bromley, Ciara
Lambert and Lindsey Moye.
The varsity girls finished the reg-
ular season with three games last'
week.
On Monday, they had Senior
Night pre-game ceremonies before
hosting Fort Meade in the first of
three close encounters to end the
final week.
Ward had five strikeouts in a
complete-game outing against the
Lady Miners, which won 3-1.
It was scoreless for the first four
innings. In the top of the fifth Fort
Meade plated a pair of runs. A hit
and three consecutive errors
brought two Lady Miners around to
score.
Hardee tried to answer. Jamie
Buckley beat out an infield hit.
With two down, Cobb drew a walk.
An error on a Steedley hit brought
Buckley home. It was 2-1.
Fort Meade picked up an insur-
ance run in the sixth inning on a
pair of errors. The laissez faire way
in which the Lady Cats accepted
defeat discouraged Coach Carver.
"It's always the same thing, the
mental toughness to handle the
game, not dropping it, knowing
where to throw it, the things we've
tried to teach all year," he com-
mented. /
A Wednesday afternoon scrim-
mage between the varsity and
junior varsity may have made the
point for Carver. The junior varsity
was facing its final season game on
Thursday and had not played for
nearly two weeks. They came out
ready to play and ousted the varsity
10-4.
Senior Norris scored two of the
varsity's four runs, the rest provid-
ed by Mahoney and Hines. For the
junior varsity, Steedley and Avery
scored twice each and Page, Moye,
Holt, Alden, Lambert and Bromley
added solo scores.
Unfortunately, the effort may
have hindered the junior varsity in
its encounter against the junior
Lady Streaks on Thursday, as theN
lost 10-0. Several of the oung Cats
were stranded on the bases as they
were unable, to keep the action
going.
The varsity, however, "had its
best game of the season," taking
Sebring into an extra inning before
losing 6-5. Eight errors nearly cost
the Lady Cats earlier in the game.
Mahoney got the first score for
Hardee. ShIe was awarded first base

on catcher interference and went to
second on a bunt sacrifice by Jamie
Buckley. Timmons singled to left to
score Mahoney. It was three up,
three down for Sebring in the home
half of the inning.
When Hardee went scoreless in
the second stanza, Sebring took the
2-1 lead on back-to-back errors, a
walk and an infield hit. The Lady
Streaks added a run in the third on
a pair of errors.
It was a 3-1 game until the sev-
enth inning. Timmons and Holt sin-
gled and Norris was safe on a mis-
played fielder's choice. Before the
dust settled, Hardee had a 4-3
advantage.
Sebring tied the game in the bot-
tom of the seventh on a pair of
errors and a hit. It was 4-4.
Hardee forged ahead in the top of
the eighth. Mahoney singled and
Jamie Buckley again laid down a
sacrifice. bunt. Johnson singled to
right center and Mahoney raced
home. It was 5-4.
Not good enough, as Sebring
bounded back with two runs on
back-to-back errors and' a sacrifice
fly to win 6-5.
Hardee's final regular season
game was Friday night at Haines


City. Again, the Lady Cats battled,
leading off with a pair of scores by
Mahoney and Norris, with a walk
and hit batsman leaving Timmons
and Hines on base.
The Lady Hornets evened the
game in the home half of the sec-
ond inning on a hit, hit batsman,
and fielder's choice. It was 2-2.
Haines City put another pair of
runs on the board in the bottom of
the third inning, a hit, walks and
three errors adding up for the
scores. It was 4-2
Hardee made it a 5-4 ball game
with a trio of scores in the top of the
fourth. Steedley, Mahoney and
Jamie Buckley all crossed home
plate as eight batters came to the
plate.
Hardee added another pair of
scores in the fifth inning on four
Haines City errors, making it 7-4.
Haines City reacted by scoring four
runs in the bottom of the fifth on a
combination of errors and walks. It
was now 8-7 in Haines City's favor.
Hardee got its final tally in the
top of the sixth as Hines doubled to
left field and was moved on home
by a Johnson hit and error on a
Bromley hit. Haines City iced the
game with a final pair of runs in the
home half of the sixth, errors again
adding up to runs for the opponent.
Hardee was unable to score in the
top of the seventh and lost the 10-8


game.
"It was again losing it mentally,;:':.
lack of concentration adds up to
errors," exclaimed Carver.
His hopes for a good showing in |:'
the district playoffs on Monday
were disappointed. Ward did not
have her usually strong perfor-
mance, allowing nine batters in the
first inning, with f6ur of them com- :
ing back around to home plate to
score. Walks, two hit batsmen andT?; :
pair of hits kept runners moving
until Ward struck out the final three ;
batters.
Meanwhile, Hardee bats were'
silent against Lady Bulldog pitcher: '
Caitlin Hall and her fielders.
DeSoto added two runs in the'
second inning on a Lillian
McDowell homer over the right
field fence. Another run came in the
third on an error, McDowell double
and Hall single. The final four Lady
Bulldog scores came in the bottom
of the fourth inning on three hits
and two errors.
It was an 11-0 lead for DeSoto as
Hardee came to bat in the top of the
fifth. Hines singled to left field.
Rivet grounded out pitcher to first,
but moved Hines to second. A
Johnson sacrifice third moved
Hines to third where she scored a
wild pitch before the final out.
DeSoto won 11-1 on 'the 10-run
mercy rule.

Districts Doom Tennis Teams


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate

districts in the state, Lithia
Newsome was the team to beat.

team titles.
Lemon Bay, in Charlotte
County, was the runner-up despite
being the host school. Hardee
boys tied with Palmetto of Manatee
County for third place. Hardee girls
were behind Palmetto but ahead of
Booker of Sarasota County and
DeSoto.
In number one boys singles,
senior Daniel Dick beat Devon
Lacava of DeSoto in the quarterfi-

Anthony Lipe-Ladenheimer of
Booker 6-1; 7-6 in the semi-finals.
Senior Michael Holt also won
over DeSoto's Mitchell Johnson 6-
2, 6-1 before losing to Brad
Henderson of Newsome 6-0, 6-0.
Only three of 14 eventual winners


were from a school other than
Newsome or Lemon Bay.
Junior John Paul Barton did not
go down easily in his first round to
Jordan Muse of DeSoto 7-5, 6-3.
Senior Tom Green won the quar-
terfinal match by default over
Booker, then had to face Alex
Lukim of Newsome in a 6-4, 6-1
loss.
At number five, soph Josh Ready
won by default over a DeSoto play-
er and then lost to Aaron Barrett
of Newsome 6-2, 6-1.

in the quarterfinals, but lost 6-1, 6-
1 to Jimmy Newton/Robert
Wozniak of Lemon Bay.
In number two doubles,
Barton/Daryl Ezelle advanced by
default over Booker but lost 6-2, 6-
1 to James Vuckovic/Lukin of
Newsome.
On the girls side of the ledger,
senior Kathryn Pace opened with a
real battle in a 7-5, 7-6 (four service
points) loss to Danielle Tencza of
Palmetto.


Junior Kelsey Williams beat
Brittany Fenimore of Palmetto 2-6,
6-1, 6-3 in the quarterfinals, only to
face Alyssa Lafita of Newsome in a
6-2, 6-0 semi-final loss.
Senior Nikki Graham lost her
first-round match to Jessica Jones
of Palmetto 6-4, 6-2.
Soph D.K. Davis beat Nitsuh
Liku of Booker 6-4, 6-2 in the quar-
terfinals. She then went against
Candra Baldwin of Lemon Bay, the
only non-Newsome girls to win her
division. She beat Davis 6-0, 6-0.
At number five, freshman
Natalie Green beat Courtney
Gammad of DeSoto 6-4, 6-1 in the
quarterfinals but lost to Kelly
Raymond of Newsome 6-0, 6-0.
In the number one doubles,

nary, which carries a lot of weight (heft) for me, states happiness is-favored
,by circumstances, lucky, fortunate, having feeling, showing great pleasure,
:contentment, joy, exactly appropriate to the occasion; joyous, clever, apt.
Cathrine Marshall is quoted in my Women's Devotional Bible, speak-
ing on Happiness: "I have observed when any of us embarks on the pursuit
of happiness for ourselves, it eludes us. Often I've asked myself why. It
Must be because happiness comes to us only as a dividend. When we
.become absorbed in .something demanding and worthwhile, above and
'beyond ourselves, happiness seems to be there as a byproduct of the self-
giving."
I'm sure, like me, when you are unhappy you feel it is your right. But
is it? For instance, my husband John and I had a very happy marriage, filled
with trust and love. I always knew the law of averages would dictate his
,death before mine because of the 20-year variance in our ages.
Nevertheless, I was in the depths of despair and unhappiness when his
inevitable death came. So much so that I was under a doctor's care for clin-
ical depression for many months. All of a sudden, in the midst of feeling
'sorry for myself, I admitted to myself John was with God, well and happy
as any good Christian would be, while I ... neither God nor John ... wanted
me to be unhappy. Rather they wanted me to feel elation and happiness that
John was with God. Of course I miss John, but I'm happy that even though
he's not physically with me, he remains in my heart.
What makes you happy? Let me tell you some of the things that make
me happy. I've a kindly, friendly caregiver. After my very good friend
SLinda gets me into bed at night, we talk about lots of nothing with lots of
laughter before she goes home, and I most often go to sleep with a smile on
nmy face. I'm happy when my business partner calls me "NMom" out of def-
erence to my age. I'm happy when Jewelv, the cat once in a long while,
curls up in my lap and goes to sleep. I'm happy when God gives me anoth-
*oer day. And the list goes on ... and on ...
So, what does make you happy ? Think about it. I'll wager there is more
to make you happy than unhappy.
God loves a cheerful giver, and urges you to behappy. Remember, God
loves you, and you, and so do I.






Dear Mom

I remember when you rocked me to sleep,
Sand tucked me under the covers deep.
When you wiped my nose when I had a cold
and gave me more love than my heart could hold.
You filled up my wading pool,
and cried on my first day of school.
You taught me how to tie a shoelace,
and let me put lipstick andpowder on my face.
You let me help you wash dishes,
blow out candles and make birthday wishes.
We played games of hide-and-seek,
carved pumpkins and went to trick-and-treat.
You were mad when I cut my own hair,
but lovingly put barrettes on places that were bare.
You 've taught me everything 1 should know
and all the paths ITshould go.
SYou've left me some good memories,
that put joy into my heart,
SBecause memories are like pictures,
they make you feel close even when you're apart.
S: Mom, you've spent your entire life
being a loving mother and wife,
And now that you've run life's long race,
you have earned your sacred place.
Now I can smile and say I've been truly blessed,
because God had loaned me one of His best.

Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee's amazing duo qualified
for the state track meet Saturday at
Coral Springs.
Freshman Andrea "Drea"
Parkinson and junior Kim
Cummins both advanced out of the
Class "A Region 3 track meet to
contend at state competition.
Parkinson, a talented frosh,
almost qualified in three events, but
had to settle for two. Only the top
four in each event advanced.
Parkinson was going from one
venue to another as she competed
in running and track events.
Cummins had a personal best in
finishing second overall in the
triple jump, with a 34'8" jump.
Parkinson was behind her for a
fourth-place finish at 32'7".
Parkinson also ran the 300-meter
hurdles and 100-meter high hur-
dles. In the preliminaries of the
300, she ran 48.7, her fastest time
of the year and seeding her second
in the finals. In the finals of the 100
meters, she tripped and fell over the
second to last hurdle, bumping her
leg, and still finishing fifth, just out
of qualifying. In the finals of the
300, she was unable to repeat her
earlier achievement and finished
fourth at 50.6.
."It was a gritty performance,"
said coach Rod Smith, of the fresh-
man athlete who also cleared 4'8"
in the high jump, "hindered by
competing in two field events and
one running event at the same
time," added coach Don Trew.
Other Hardee athletes did well in
regional competition although not
advancing to the state meet.
Senior Jacob'Deemer took eighth
in the discus with a throw of
131'7".
Pierre Lazarre had a personal
best record in both throws with a
130'3" in the discus and 42'9" in
the shot put.
Pablo Anselmo and Jose
Gutierrez led the top runner in the
state for the first two laps of the
3,200, or two-mile, run. Each
improved their personal best in the
event, Anselmo finishing at, 10:54
and Gutierrez at 11:07.
The girls 4x400 was led by
Roxanna Torres, who ran a 4:43 in


her leg. She was joined by Mandy
Cornelius, Santressa Harris and
Christina Jena.
The boys 4x400 was led by


freshman Jayquan Gandy, who fin
ished his second leg in 54 second:
Jeff Capron came in at 55, Jaimil
Torres at 58 and Deemer at 60.

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson

WHAT'S WRONG WITH SAYING, "I DON'T KNOW"?
One of the things people find hardest to say is "I don't know". They
would rather "take a lickin'" than to be found looking dumb. People like to
be "in the know," to possess "inside information" to find out important news
before anyone else. This is what sells newspapers.
We live in a culture in which knowledge is held in high regard. TV
newscasters will seldom tell us about something happening in government,
education or the arts without interviewing "experts" who can immediately
analyze the event and tell us all about its implications.
I guess all this knowledge makes people feel safer, more equipped to
handle life's uncertainties. They don't seem fazed that much of yesterday's
red hot news is proven untrue or inaccurate today.
Same thing about scientific discoveries. We tend to accept without
question the pronouncements of the white-coated ones. But even the most
celebrated will confess that their insights will probably be supplanted or at
least updated by the next round of experiments.
Cartoonist love to draw eager young men climbing to the tops of moun-
tains to interview wise old men. This image has meaning because so many
believe we need specialized knowledge in order to truly live.
The Bible states that in the end times, knowledge will increase. (Daniel
12:4) It is certainly true that raw information has been piling up since we
have split the atom, walked on the moon and built the first computer. But
without the good sense to obey the God who made us, what will we do with
all this knowledge? If the past is a guide, major scientific advances have led
to the creation of new weapons of mass destruction.
Die-hard materialist ignore the warning signs of scripture. After all,
they have invested in only what they pan see, hear, smell, taste and touch.
As a result, they have become blind to all other worlds.
"For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring
to nothing the understanding of the prudent!" (I Cor. 1:19) The Bible com-
mands us, above all else, to come to know a Person. "I will give them a
heart to know me, that I am the Lord." (Jer. 24:7)
Trusting God produces serenity. As for the rest of knowledge, we can
afford to know or not to know-as He may direct.

Local Hospital Honors


its Volunteers


Dr. Barbara Carlton hosted an
outdoor luncheon honoring the
Florida Hospital Wauchula Ladies
Auxiliary and the local hospital for
its contributions to Hardee County
through the years.
During the April 21 event, Dr.
Barbara described the auxiliary as
S"the foundation of our hospital." As
she reminisced, she said "It's been a
long, long journey."
Hospital Administrator David
'Ottatti called the Hospital Auxiliary
"the Pink Ladies and Bill," refer-
ring to long-time volunteer Bill
Alexy Sr. He also recognized those
present who have been volunteers
since the hospital began in 1970.
They are Jennie B. Weis, Pat Davis
and Frances Davis. It was also men-
tioned that Juanita English began
her years of service in 1980.
Following the barbecue catered
by Katie Mae's BBQ Catering
Service, emcee Jim Beckley, a hos-
pital board member, introduced
Florida Hospital Heartland
President John Harding, now in his
seventh year in his current position
as CEO.
Harding expressed pride in what
the hospital has provided Hardee
County, saying that all 25 beds are
now all-private rooms, and in spite
of the $8 million in damage from
the recent hurricanes to all three
Heartland hospitals, Wauchula has
been 85 percent full in 2005. (The
other hospitals making up the
Heartland are Sebring and Lake
Placid.)
He said the local hospital has
received more ER patients than
Lake Placid, and these numbers


have almost doubled since 1997.
Because of this, there is a great
need for expansion of the ER facil-
ities, and the former surgery suite
would be the most practical for this
expansion. It is hoped that state leg-
islation will soon allow such expan-
sion, and as soon as possible.
'There is* a global shortage in
medical doctors and nurses," he
said, adding "without them we are
out of business." He took the oppor-
tunity to encourage Hardee High
School Key Club members present
to consider futures in the field of
medicine.
Responding to a question from
Joe Davis Sr., Harding said that
South Florida Community College
"is doing a tremendous job with its
nursing program." However, he
added that there is now a need for a
learning institute for preparing
those who have completed their
two-year nursing degree.
Concerning possible expansion
of the hospital, Harding referred to
the $420,000 purchase of 20 acres
north of Wauchula as a possible
future hospital site, yet said, "We
cannot build a hospital on our own.
It must be a partnership with the
community. Right now, we need
your help to provide'a new, full-ser-
vice hospital." He provided an
artist's rendering of the prospective
facility.
After expressing gratitude for the
many volunteers and community
support, he also reminded the audi-
ence, "All money made at Florida
Hospital Wauchula goes back into

A group trying to achieve the proposed Highlands County Amphitheatre performed for the
Wauchula Kiwanis Club on April 19. Fundraising began seven years ago. Property, 64 acres at 950
CR 29 in Lake Placid, has been acquired. $1.5 million has been raised. Supporters are seeking a
$3.8 million USDA community improvement grant as well as state and federal grants for the $3.7
million 1,500 to 2,000-seat facility. An outdoor drama entitled "Florida" is planned and would be
performed by a cast of 80 from October through Easter. The average ticket price would be $14.50.
The goal is to open in October 2006. The U.S. has 122 outdoor amphitheatres, about one-third
historical, one-third religious and one-third Shakespearean, and all operate in the summer. There
are none in Florida. The Highlands idea originated with Teresa Stein. The Florida Heartland
Heritage Foundation has a board of 22. Pictured (from left) are Jackie Mundhenk, Ken Hall, Debra
Rutledge, Debbie Corder, Linda Grosman, Allan Grosman, Kirstie Gonzalez, and Katrina
Gonzalez. Below is an artist's sketch of the proposed project. Call (863) 465-3994 for information.

Farm Tales
By C.J. Mouser


SI went hog hunting with the kids Saturday night.
I will never go again.
S It started out fine. We unloaded the dogs and were walking along in the
dark, the dogs sniffing the air and gatng more excited by the minute. I, too,
was excited; being out there in thK Jn the middle of nowhere, with the
sounds of night creatures all arouil ~~ the stars shining so brightly that it
felt like I could reach up arid grab them.
I will be the first to admit that I am scared of the dark, but there is safe-
ty in numbers, and there were four of us and three dogs. We must have
walked, three miles or better before Roscoe and Baby, the "bay" dogs, were
released, and that's when the nightmare began.
Everything went into hyper-motion. The dogs took off and the kids
started running. I found, to my dismay, that they could run much faster than
I could: I was literally left in the dust.
I had been informed earlier that if I needed assistance I should whistle.
I was not planning on being left in the dark alone so, needless to say, when
I tried to whistle, my mouth had gone so dry that all that came out was a
frantic "pfffft!" I stood there listening to the barking dogs growing further
and further away and I suddenly remembered that I could whistle though
my fingers. I let out a whistle that could be heard for miles, and immedi-
ately Jill was by my side.
"Whatsa matter?"
"Whatsa matter? You left me! You all left me!"
"We didn't leave you. You have to keep up!" Pant, pant. "Come on!"
She grabbed my hand and literally started dragging me. We took turns
tripping over clumps of weeds and the broken branches that littered the
ground and, finally, the sound of a hog squealing came to us from some dis-
tance to the north. Jill turned into something possessed; she yanked my arm

She gralbed me by the hand and led me though a little bayhead and out

A pale thread of white against the dark weeds. It was a road. Then she got
on her cell phone, wheedled a friend of hers away from a party to come pick
us up, and less than 30 minutes later we were home.

TEENS INTERVIEW ELDERS



'CHURCH PLAYED AN IMPORTA


By VICTORIA HERRERA
Special To The Herald-Advocate
I interviewed Calletana Roberts, my
grandmother. She was born in
Fredericksburg, Texas, on Aug. 7, 1926.
She has lived in Florida for over 30 years
-now. Her parents were Dario and Sarah
1Borjas. They were both born in Mexico.
SWhen I asked Grandma what her par-
ents' background was she replied "Well,
Daddy had a lot of Aztec Indian in him."
SShe was the fifth child of 10. There were
eight girls and two boys. They were all
born and raised in the United States. Her
parents came over to the United States
when her mother was pregnant with her
first child. When she was growing up, she
and her family lived out in the country
about two miles away from town. The town
she lived in wasn't very big, she says
."around 3,000 people."
SThey lived in a two story house with
only three bedrooms. She slept with one of
her sisters at night. When the morning
came, they would have to get up and walk a
.good mile and a half to get to school, cross-


ing over a creek, through a field and over a
hill. In her classroom at school, she and her
sister were the only student in the class who
weren't Anglo.
Her class size was very small; approxi-
mately 10 students to a class. They didn't
play with any other students besides each
other. The only time they played together,
as a class, was when the teacher had a game
for everyone to play. She says, "I really
didn't do a lot of my school work because I
had just started to learn English and most of
my grades on my report card were D's and
F's"
Religion was a big part in Grandma's
life because of her being Catholic. She was
a member of Guadalupe Catholic Church
over in Fredericksburg. Church was the
only place she went when she was at home,
besides school. Grandma said she learned a
lot from that church, such as singing.
Grandma said, "When I first got into the
choir I couldn't really sing, but the nun
there helped me learn the notes and
melody."
As Grandma (or should I say Calletana)


got older she liked doing more exciting
things. She loved dancing and going to the
movies with some friends, but that only
happened once in awhile. You see,
Grandma's dad was very strict with them. If
they went anywhere, like dancing, he would
have to come along, too, but of course she
didn't care, she just wanted to get out there
on the dance floor and do her thing.
When the radio came out, they mostly
listened to country music; that's because
that's all there was to listen to.
In 1948, Grandma was only 23 at the
time she met her first love, Carmel R.
Hernandez. At the age of 25 she got preg-
nant with her first child in Texas. In the
end, Grandma ended up with eight healthy
kids. She have five boys and three girls,
seven of them are still living in Wauchula
today and one is living up in, Michigan. She

then decided to move to Florida with all
eight of her kids and her husband.
Unfortunately, Grandpa died in 1980
because of cancer. But in time Grandma
met up with her soon-to-be new husband,
Ronald (Ronnie) Roberts. They got married
in Grandma's house in 1993. They were
happily together for a good four years until
Ronnie died from cancer in 1997.
Grandma lives by herself now in the
same house that she's lived in since she's
been in Florida. She has a large extended
family of over 30 grandkids and even some
great-grandchildren. Hopefully, Grandma
will be around for many years to come.

the texture of his mind, the
goodness of his heart, the inner
pain or the sweet serenity that
are his companions in solitude.

'tiny friends, the hummingbirds, exceed your record by thousands of miles
each year when the weather turns warm once more. Soaring on gossamer
wings that operate faster than the eye can begin to comprehend, the tiny birds
With their needle-like beaks and tongues miraculously remember and return to:
S their providers' feeders from the previous year. Just as the Creator tells the
flowers to bloom in the spring, He has programmed the hummingbirds' return.)

Look On The Bright Side
By David Kelly


I went turkey hunting with my dad several weeks ago. It was just me
and him, similar to when I was in my teens. Now at 33 and he at just over
60, sitting still and hunting hard seems harder than when we were young
and spry.
I have memories of my dad falling asleep in the early morning hours
'whenever he would take me hunting. Yet he seemed to have a knack for
'waking up just in time to knock a gobbler down.
S There has been a lot of note taking on my part over the years. I've
taken notes on how to do things and how not to do things. My dad would
be the first to tell you how much you can learn from making mistakes when
turkey hunting. He would also tell you about perseverance and not giving
up, especially if you just scared a turkey off.
So we set out that evening, thinking that maybe we could stay awake
a little longer than if we had rose at the crack of dawn. As we drove into
- where we were to hunt, we saw a hen scramble 'out of the palmettos and run
down the road we were on.
It was odd for me to be the guide. I'd been in this situation before and
there is always the same dilemma. Do I put Dad in the best spot or do I sit
in the best spot? That question always haunts me. So taking in account that
he had sacrificed many a choice turkey hunt and put me in a good spot, I
caved to my conscience and died to my selfishness and told Dad where I
thought the best spot to find a gobbler would be.
'Driving off, I hoped that a nice 10-inch bearded gobbler might rumble
right by my dad. I envisioned this one bird in particular that I had spooked
two years in a row on this particular road. So I hoofed off to another area
of the pasture, hoping this bird and my dad would meet that day.
As I rememberit, that day was rather windy, which makes it hard to
hear a turkey walking, talking or flying. I built a nice blind with palmetto
fronds and sat down in between the fork of two tree roots that were close
together. I had a decoy out and I was in an area where the sun shone right
in my eyes. So I decided to move and face the other direction, which was a
key move.
Sleep was calling me as I had been working rather hard the previous
two days ripping out carpet in a house. My muscles were sore and they did-
n't feel like sitting still unless it was in a hot tub. As I caught myself doz-
ing, I found myself looking intently in all directions waiting for a turkey to
appear.
After two hours of calling and waiting, daylight was running out.
There was about an hbur and a half left until darkness. My hope was run-
-,ning out. I had not heard a sound that resembled a turkey, other than mN
own calling.
Desperate to bag a bird. I let out a long series of yelps and cuts with
''two different calls, hoping to lure a bird within range. Sure enough, I was
Looking to my right and then turned to mi left and bam! out of nowhere
a nice tom was standing 25 yards with a bright red head looking straight
into my ees.
I slowly lifted my gun and shot. The turkeN fell. The hunt with Dad
w as over.
As I walked back:to the truck. I prayed to hear one more gunshot. I
hoped that ma be Dad had shot and I hadn't heard him. But. much to mN
disappointment. Dad didn't see a bird.
Hostweer, we learned a long time ago both hunters seldom bag a bird.
It's the experience of going together that %\ill last. The memory of hunting
\with a turkey-hunting mentor ill live on. Dad has taught a lot to his boys
about turkey hunting. A few of us are getting pretty good at taking notes and
learning from them.
NMy brother. Michael. is able to give me a lesson or two. This year he
killed another giant. Way to go, Mike!
Dad, you have given us know ledge of hunting turkeys that was passed
down to you from generations of great hunters. Thanks for taking the time
to go hunting %when you could have gone and done other things. Thanks for
showing me to share with others this sport so they. too, can enjoy God's
great creation.
I killed a turkey this year. But more importantly. I got to go hunting
with my dad.

From "Crewsville News" by Mrs.

erty they bought from the Parnell
brothers. Also, there is a house
being built on the property where


*r --A


the Randall Quinns' house burned.
--Clarence Parnell is recovering
from a horse accident that happened
on Jan. 30. He is able to get around
with the help of a walker.
-Miss Sheryl Lanier was home
from college in Alabama for the
holidays with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Milton Lanier.
-Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Skl ,ers'
daughter Margaret was home from
college for the holidays.
-Miss Birdie Prescott passed
away Sunday, April 13. She was
born and raised on the south side of
the Highlands Hammock State
Park. Her grandfather was the first
resident of Highlands County.

Miss Louise Cherry has been
elected as vice-president of the
.LaGrange College chapter of
Rotaract, Rotary Club-sponsored
fellowship of college men and
women for the year 1980-81.


10 YEARS AGO
It was free! That's one of the best
things out of many positives that
can be said about the Hardee
County school district's new
Family Resource Center (pictured
on Page One).
The center, built at the adult,
vocational and community educa-
tion site at 901 W. Main St. in
Wauchula, was funded entirely
through grant money.

What happened in America's
Heartland has touched Florida's
Heartland as well.
The unspeakable destruction and
the senseless loss of lives in last
week's bombing of the federal
building in Oklahoma City have

the county, as the nation joins in
mourning Oklahoma's loss.

When Junior Cooper (pictured) of
Bowling Green was born 66 years
ago, the attending physician, Dr.
Poucher, examined the baby and
knew he had been born with serious
birth defects. He told the mother
that the little boy probably would
not live past the age of 5 or 6.
Cooper has outlived that prediction
by 60 years.
He is a familiar sight in Bowling
Green and Wauchula. It is an inspi-
ration to see this man live his life
with obvious handicaps and contin-
ue to work and be a productive citi-
zen.

From the "Fort Green News" by
Mrs. Tom.Cooper:
-Joe Jones had bypass heart
surgery in the Lakeland hospital
Monday. Pray for him.
-Don and Gwenn Albritton went
to Naples Sunday to see their son,
Jerry, ride in a rodeo.
-Sam and Arden Rawls visited
in the home of Zula Cooper
Tuesday morning on their way to
Lakeland to bring Edith Harris
home from a rest home. She is
happy to be home again. Pray for
her and her husband, Al.
-Bill Sisk had surgery Tuesday
in Winter Haven. He is doing fine.
He came home Thursday. His sister
from the Glades came up to visit
him.

week with a pair of Heartland

What is the difference between Sex Offenders and Sexual Predators?
Under Florida law, not all "sex offenders" are "sexual predators." A court must make a specific finding that an offender is a predator
before that offender can be officially designated as a sexual predator and be subject to Florida's sexual predator registration and noti-
fication requirements. All sexual offenders and sexual predators must register with the state.
Who is a Sexual Predator?

A sexual predator is a person who was convicted of a serious sexual crime against a minor (under 18 years of age) or an adult, AND
who was declared to be a "sexual predator" by the court AND has previously been convicted of certain enumerated felony sex offens-
es within 10 years. Because these sexual predators are no longer incarcerated, the law, FSS 775.21, requires they initially register with
either the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) or with the local Sheriff's Office. A person classified as a sexual predator is
so classified for life, unless his civil rights are restored, OR the conviction is overturned, OR he receives a full pardon.
Who is a Sexual Offender?

SThe designation of a person as a sexual offender is not a sentence or a punishment, but is simply the status of the offender which is
Sthe result of a conviction for having corimitted certain crimes. There are several ways a person can be qualified and designated as a
S"sexual offender" in the state of Florida. A person qualifies if he is convicted of committing, attempting, soliciting or conspiring to com-
mit any specified sexual crime AND is in custody or control of the Florida Department of Corrections, OR in the custody of a private cor-
rectional facility, on or after Oct. 1, 1997, as a result of the above convictions OR by another sexual offender designation in another state
or jurisdiction.

SA LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT BBQ
Meats that are chosen for BBQ are usually lesser cuts of meat and are very tough, but I
They are full of flavor. In order to get these meats tender, they must be cooked very slow- B
64 ly. At the Rib Shack our meats are seasoned with a dry rub and then cooked over oak
coals. Every hardwood generates a distinctive flavor of smoke. The longer and slower
M you cook the meat, the deeper the smoke penetrates, causing a pink appearance in the
meat. Our ribs are cooked on the smoker for about four hours, The brisket cooks a mini-
mum of 14 hours. The process takes a lot of time, but we think it's worth it. We cook our
meats daily to give you the freshest BBO possible.
So please understand if we are sold out! Call in early to reserve your BBQ! U

Telling The Truth...
By J. Adam Shanks
Preacher


ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES #7
ETERNAL JUDGMENT
For one last time, we are going to discuss the elementary principles as
laid out in Hebrews 6. The last issue listed in these first three verses is the
"eternal judgment," a topic that has filled volumes and libraries worth of
reading material. There is even a new show on NBC called "Revelations"
that theorizes about the end times and the judgment.
There are so many different theories and interpretations of Scripture on
this topic by itself that one could study and write about this for a lifetime,
and still not have any more conclusive evidence than when one started.
The problem is that the Bible only tells us part of the story. The end
times and the eternal judgment are wrapped up in mystery, I believe by
design. God does not make mistakes. Deuteronomy 29:29 says, "The secret
things belong to the Lord our God, but the revealed things belong to us and
to our children forever, to observe all the words of this law." God leaves
some things a mystery, and this is one that definitely intrigues the masses.
I am not going to get into the abundance of prophetic analyses and
Biblical theories about the end times. I want to spend my time in just a few
passages of Scripture. I think'that we should consider all the Bible has to say
on this topic, but we cannot:because of a lack of space. (If you want to dis-
cuss this more, feel free to contact me.)
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 talks about the comfort that Christians can
take in the coming of the Lord. Later in Chapter 5:1-11, we know that the
Lord will come suddenly, without warning, like "a thief in the night." We
can look at the "signs of the times" all that we want, but we must know that
the apostles by the Holy Spirit told us that we, cannot know when the Lord
is coming.
Later in 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12 it talks about how frightening that day
will be for those who do not know the Lord. It talks about vengeance and
punishment for them, while it talks about blessings and rest for those who
do follow the Lord.
The Bible seems to present a different image of the last Day of
Judgment than what is commonly preached in the pulpits of America. It is
fun to speculate about what the last day is going to be like, but we need to
make sure that we do not add or take away from the message of the Bible,
which is to be prepared because we never know when we will see our Lord
again.
One thing that we can be absolutely sure about is that when we are
judged we will be given one of two different sentences: either we will be
blessed to be with the Lord in Heaven or we will be condemned into eterni-
ty in Hell. We must know that God will bring every deed into judgement,
including every secret thing, whether good or evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14; 2
Corinthians 5:10). In the words of Paul, "each of us will be accountable to
God" (Romans 12:14).
The important issue is not what leads up to judgment but that we are'
ready for judgment. I'm Telling the Truth!

Happy Spring. Hope all of you are in good health and enjoying the
lovely (and sometimes rainy) weather.

Recently, I published some commonly asked dental questions and
answers in a local publication. I have been surprised by the
response I received! So, I have decided to pass on some of these to
you... the following ran in December of 2004!

Q: "I've heard that bad oral hygiene can cause health problems. Is
that true?"
A: Absolutely yes. Our mouths are full of bacteria. Even the
cleanest mouth! If left untreated, the mouth can be a source for
serious infections that may spread to various parts of the body,
particularly in a body that is already compromised in some way.
People that have diabetes, heart disease, HIV, and the elderly
should be particularly conscientious of their oral health. Any
sign of infection in the mouth should be evaluated by a dentist.
Some signs to pay attention to are soreness, swelling, a notice-
able bad odor dr bad taste coming from a particular area in the
mouth, pus, or bleeding. Of course, regular check-ups help to
prevent infection from occurring in the first place. Contact your
dentist for a cleaning and exam.

We hope all of you are in good dental health!
This month I'd like to highlight another member of our team that
makes our patient care outstanding, our office manager, Shari
Wolfe. Shari is a native of Bartow, wife of Jason, and mother of
Emily, one very cute 4 year old. She and Jason live and work in
Bartow, and are lucky to have both sets of their parents in Bartow
also. Shari is our office manager of five years, handling appoint-
ments, insurance questions, etc. She is usually the first patient con-
tact in our office, and we are fortunate to have her as that contact!

Have a safe and happy April!

gobbler in Hardee County. The turkey weighed 17 pounds and
had a 10-inch beard. She has been hunting for many years and
enjoys the outdoors.

The harder a pencil is, the higher its number and the more clay and
