By KIMBERLY PATARINI
For The Herald-Advocate
Mary Jane DeLeon Cimmino and
Roberta Meyer face off on Monday
in a runoff election for the Zolfo
Springs Town Council.
Meyer has lived in Zolfo Springs
for 16 years. Cimmino lived in the
town for 32 years, moved away,
and then came back. She has been
here for a year.
Neither Meyer nor Cimmino has
ever held a political office before.
Cimmino, however, ran for another
open council seat in December of
2004, losing to Roger Green in a
runoff.
Meyer is running for office
.because she is not working right


again depending on the challenges
involved. "Every mile is different."
Prestridge said.
A 2004 update in the Florida'
Statutes allows counties to lev\ the

Emergency Management Director Rich Shepard shows that the
free 2005 All Hazards Guide is now available at local stores, and
also at restaurants, businesses, county offices, the Health
Department and the Office of Emergency Management, 404 W.
Orange St., Wauchula. Along with information on all possible
manmade and weather hazards, the 28-page guide includes a
hurricane tracking chart, and lists of emergency supplies and
shelters. The primary shelters are the junior high media center,
and Zolfo Springs, North Wauchula and Wauchula elementary
schools, as well as Bowling Green Elementary, which is inad-
vertently listed in the guide as an alternate shelter. The Special
Needs primary shelter is at South Florida Community College.
Plan ahead and stock up for the hurricane season, which began
yesterday, during the tax-free hurricane shopping June 1-12.


There is also $5.4 million statewide
for the Small County Outreach
Program (SCOP), which also
assists the county.
SCHOOLS
As chairman of the Senate
Education Appropriations
Committee, Sen.* Alexander
focused on ensuring equal funding
for education. He lists an increase
of 7.93 percent in K-12 funds,
including FTE (full-time equiva-
lent) student increases of 7.41 per-
cent. There is also $186,554 to
assist Hardee schools with hurri-
cane recovery costs.
Finance Director Greg Harrelson
explained the numbers. "The
$29,707,534 of our budget repre-
sents $21, 692,577 in, state money
plus regular local effort and discre-
tional taxes, supplements and cate-
goricals," he said.
A projected school enrollment of
5,120 students equals $5,801.58
per student, he further explained.
"We've just got the numbers in

requests, getting ready for negotia-
tions with the (school employees)

Pull Trigger


On Bicyclist

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Two young thieves pointed a gun
at a man who was riding his bicycle
home from a convenience store on
the Memorial Day holiday and then
pulled the trigger.
But the weapon, described as
either a rifle or shotgun, did not
fire, possibly saving the life of the
45-year-old Wauchula man who
was its intended victim.
After a chase involving officers
and a tracking dog, a 16-year-old
suspect was apprehended.
Herman Eugene Patterson, of 879
Chamberlain Blvd., Wauchula, was
charged with attempted armed rob-
bery, a first-degree felony.
Patterson was booked into the
Hardee County Jail at about 10:30
p.m. He was later transferred to
the' Juvenile Assessment Center in
Bartow.
Wauchula Police Chief William
Beattie said neither the second sus-
pect nor the weapon was found.
Detectives, however, are following
leads on Patterson's partner, he:
added.
Beattie said the incident occurred
'at about 9:30 on Monday night as.
the 45-year-old bicycled from the:
Preston store on Carlton Street to
his house on West Palmetto Street.
He was on North Ninth Avenue:

Drug Task Force spokesman
Mai. Claude Harris Jr. of the
Hardee County Sheriff's .Office
Said Aleman became a target of the
Wauchula Police Department and
SSheriff's Office probe last year
Mhien a tip implicated him in drug
dealing.
Harris said monitored buys using
a confidential informant were made
on Aug. 11 and Sept. 10 of 2004.
Each time, Aleman allegedly sold
two ounces, or about 57 grams, of
methamphetamine for $2,400,
It takes a sale of but 14 grams of
the illicit narcotic to be considered
trafficking.' The larger amounts
.als attract the DEA and lead to
federal indictments, as occurred in
the previous nine arrests.
Harris. said the first alleged buy
occurred at the Wauchula
Supermarket in Wauchula Hills,
while the second was at Aleman's
residence.
..- In:both cases, the narcotic was
packaged tor sale in plastic bags, he
added..
..One man, an 11th suspect, has
already been indicted and remains
at large."
SMore indictments and arrests are
expected as a result of the probe,
Harris said.

"The increase in unweighted FTE
money will help fund more teach-
ers," he said.
The extra hurricane money will
help make up the deficit of insur-
ance and Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)
monies, explained Kitchens, who
went on to describe progress on the
Wildcat Football Stadium.
The old restrooms have been dis-
mantled. Progress Energy Corp.
came in and removed the broken
light poles. Shortly, a crane will
come in. Workers will break the
welds on the broken seating blanks
at the top of the stadium and
replace them with good ones from
the bottom rows. The bottom rows
will be redone for seating for the
handicapped and those assisting
them.
By the end of July the field house
should be ready, with the weight
room moving to the old locker
room areas under the stadium. New
weight equipment has been
ordered.
There will be a new concession
and restroom area at the north end
of the field past the paved area and
visitor entry gate. It will have sepa-
rate visitor and home services.

COUNTY
Dollars designated for the county
include $350,000 for the court-
house, and a total of $550,000 for
wastewater projects.
The $350,000 for the courthouse
is to correct water infiltration in the
sub-foundation, explained County
Manger Lex Albritton. This has
been a recurrent problem since the


prostate cancer development.
Scientists are beginning to under-
stand the variable results from past
studies. Recent evidence suggests
that the compounds derived from
these vegetables may only safe-
guard individuals who inherit par-
ticular forms of enzymes or cell
receptors. Other evidence suggest
that people who eat diets with high
levels of carcinogenic substances
from meat cooked at high tempera-
tures or grilled benefit the most.
Despite the abundance of posi-
tive news about the healthfulness of
cruciferous vegetables, if memories
of over-cooked, slightly bitter side
dishes keep you from eating these
plant foods regularly, it's time to
learn new preparation methods.
Cook these vegetables only" until
tender because overcooking pro-
duces bitterness. Avoid boiling
them in lots of water because this
method leaches vitamins. Briefly
steaming or stir-frying these vegeta-
bles produces much better flavor
and texture. Some, like parsnips
and Brussels sprouts, are excellent
when roasted in the oven. In the
winter months when traditional
salad greens become more expen-
sive and less fresh, try switching to
salads based on raw broccoli, cab-
bage and cauliflower.' By counter-
ing the assertive taste of these veg-
etables with equally assertive fla-
vorings, like a drizzle of extra vir-
gin olive oil, you can smooth out
their flavor even more.
'To find new, easy and healthy
recipes for cruciferous vegetables, 4
go to the American Institute for
Cancer Research's website,
www.aicr.org. It offers a searchable
data base of healthy, delicious
recipes in the "Recipe Corner," a
weekly recipe email you can sign
up for, and other, recipes you can
browse through in the "Press
Corner." You can also visit the web-
sites www.aboutproduce.com or
www.5aday.com. Each of these also
has a searchable database, so you
can look for recipes that call for a
particular vegetable like broccoli.

courthouse was built in 1921, espe-
cially in really rainy years.
Wastewater allocations were
only a portion of the amounts
requested, Albritton said.
The county had requested $1.54
million to increase the capacity at
the Wauchula Hills wastewater
treatment plant to service the new
K-8 school and three mobile home
parks. Only $300,000 was included
in this year's state budget.
The county had also requested
$745,000 to determine and pro-
vide the increased capacity to
extend wastewater lines from South
Florida Community College to the
Bowling Green city limits. Only
$250,000 was included in the state
budget.
Although not mentioned by
Alexander, other monies will help
the county. A Community Develop-
ment Block Grant application for
$2.5 million would expand waste-
water service to the residents of
Wauchula Hills.
State and federal housing monies
will continue to help with hurri-
cane-related reconstruction and
renovation.
The county is also slated to
receive about $643,000 earmarked
to replace lost ad valorem tax rev-
enue when destroyed homes went
off the tax roll.
"Although it seems the county
will receive lots of money, it's only
a small portion of the-expenses it
faces,"said Albritton, who has been
working with the various depart-
ments in preparing the 2005-06
budget which the County
Commission will tear apart in bud-
get workshops in July.

CATCHING UP WITH
THE JAPANESE
There are many differences
between Japanese and American
diets that may explain why cancer
incidence in Japan is far lower than
in the U.S. But one difference may
be overlooked: The Japanese con-
sume about five times the amount
of cruciferous vegetables as
Americans do.
The most common cruciferous
vegetables are those from the cab-.
bage family: cabbage, broccoli,
Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage,
cauliflower, kale and watercress.
However, even some-root veggies,
like radishes, parsnips, turnips,
rutabaga and kohlrabi, fall in this
category. Cruciferous vegetables
make a unique contribution to good
health. They contain natural sub-
stances called glucosinolates that
break down in the body to form
indoles and other compounds that
fight cancer development in several
different ways.
One way indoles and the other
anti-cancer compounds from crucif-
erous vegetables work is by slow-
ing down the enzymes that activate
carcinogenic substances. Another
way is by speeding up enzymes that
detoxify carcinogens. In addition,
these compounds can increase the
self-destruction of cancer cells and
stop or slow down the growth of
cells developing into cancer. Some
studies show that these protective.
compounds may also change estro-
gen metabolism, potentially
decreasing the risk of hormone-
related cancers. "
Population studies link an
increased consumption of crucifer-
ous vegetables with a lower risk for
a variety of cancers. Breast cancer
is one of them, although a recent
study suggests that premenopausal
women may benefit more than
;older women from eating crucifer-
ious vegetables.-The other cancers
:are colon, lung and ovarian cancers.
:Although some studies indicate no
reduction in prostate cancer risk,
other studies show a protective
influence during the early stages of

GOD'S GREAT WAYS!
SGod is an incredible God! (Isaiah 55:8-9) It is amazing how things
work out sometimes.
There have been times in my life where I have prayed so hard that I
thought I might explode from the feeling inside flowing out of me to God's
throne. I wanted a particular thing so badly that .Icouldn't help but ask over
and over again.
Suddenly I receive an answer that seems like a slap in the face. I strig"'
gled with wanting something so terribly that it almost seemed wrong and.
then... it! The answer that I didn't want slugs me in the stomach so hard that
I almost want to throw up! Not only did the answer step on my heart, it wal-
loped ones that I love also.
There is nothing more painful thari seeing someoneyou love suffer with
pain or sorrow. I wanted to shake my fist in the sky, but I swallowed the
lump in my throat and forced myself to belive that there was a reason that
God gave the answer that He gave me. "
\ The great thing is when I find the reason that God gave the answerI did
not \want, and I realize the Nwisdom and foresight of God! You see, God is
working. God is active. God is working things out for me right.now.
I ask for things sometimes not realizing that 'they get in the way of
God's greater plan. When I get a "no" for my answer, it challenges my faith
but I realize later (sometimes much later) that God had a reason, a mind-
boggling wise answer, for disappointing me. .
To take this one step further, I have experienced that God no dnly give
the right answer whether we like itor not, He gi\es abundantly when it does
not interfere with His wiser plans.,.
I know that this article is vague and would be easier to understand if I
gave you specific examples to base these truths on, bit there is a season that
I will not. I want you to do two things. I want you to go through your Bible
and apply different characters into .this. You will find there will be many,
characters that God gave us the.example of in Scripture to gain strength
from. I also want you to apply these truths to yourselves. You will find that

Letter to Editor

Her Son Was An Atheist

But Is Now A Christian


Dear Editor:
For the past month it has been
back and forth about souls and
God. I say enough is enough, even
though I still agree with Miranda. I
am a very proud mother.
My son was an atheist. .He did
not believe in God or anything else
pertaining to the Bible. He moved
to another state and met a lady,
stopped drinking, went to church
and got saved. They got married
there, and now he goes to church
every Sunday.
Mr. Schwarz, you say your wife,


sons, mom, dad, brothers and sis-
ters are all Christian's, but you
remain atheist. You should really
join your family.
We will pray for you and may
God have mercy on your soul.
How about next week we just
talk about who believes in men
from space or Big Foot. Anybody
out there seen any? Are we really
being watched? Because religion
and political organizations are bad
subjects to really get into.
God Bless,
Millie Freeman

U.S. 17 Speed Limit Should

6 B Lowered In Wauchula


I say that because he went
through the red light. Praise the
Lord no cars were coming through.
I hope whoever has any influ-
ence on how to put the speed down
to 30 or 35 mph would do so,
before there is a bad accident.,
In closing I'd like to ask if it
could be possible to have a police
car at the intersection, not to be
seen. I hope this will be done
before someone isn't as blessed as
we were. I would like to remind
our leaders that this is a construc-
tion zone!

Dear Editor:
I am writing on behalf of all of us
who have to drive on Hwy. 17
south and north through Wauchula.
The speed is posted 45 mph, but
who goes-45? It's more like 50 to
55, in a construction zone at that.
On a recent Tuesday I was
pulling out of KFC when I saw a
truck at least two blocks away. The
next thing I saw was his truck so
close to me, almost hitting me.
He blew his horn and put on his
brakes. I pulled over at
McDonalds. If I. would have
stopped for the red light he would
have run over me.

$635 DONATION TO ZSE


SONIC? SOON! Sonic hopes to open here by June 8. "Right now
we're just waiting on electricity and licenses," said opening coordinator
Mary Fraze.
This restaurant is unique to other fast-food chains in several respects.
First, Sonic serves both its breakfast and dinner menus all day.
Most different about Sonic is its method of service. You drive into a
stall, read the menu that's posted and press a button to order. You even pay
from your car. Then, a waitress on roller skates brings your order out to you.
You can choose to eat in your car or at the sheltered patio area.
Along with the usual fast-food items, Sonic features onion rings,
wraps, salads, breakfast burritos and an ice cream menu that is comparable
to Dairy Queen's.
"We are really excited about Wauchula and are projecting a really good
opening week. It's a great site and opportunity,"'Fraze added.
Sonic will be open Monday-Saturday from 6 a.m. to midnight, and may
even be open later on weekend nights. On Sundays it will open at 7 a.m.
instead of 6.
"We hope to get real involved with the public and the community,
that's what Sonic is about," Fraze concluded.
According to Fraze, the restaurantcould possibly be employing as
many at 80 people. It is located on U.S. 17 South between Taco Bell and
McDonald's


in irrigation and sod.
The nursery is located east on Torrey Road, south of Bowling Green.
Its hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m.-l p.m., or
after hours, by appointment. For more information, contact 375-4450.

Dear Friends and Patients,
What's New In Dentures?

Dentures have been around a long time. George Washington suf-
fered from toothaces his whole life and ended up with a full set of
'ivory dentures (not wood), with a hole left in one to let the one
remaining natural tooth protrude.

There is good news for all of you out there that wear either full or
partial dentures! We have new options today that are making den-
trues wearers really smile... removable prosthetic teeth that don't
look false.

When people think of cosmetic dentistry, it has usually been
focused on improving the smile of people with their own teeth.
Now it is possible to make dentures looks so good, it is practically
impossible to tell whether or not they're natural. And, with the
help of implants supporting a denture, the embarrassing "pop-up"
syndrome of a denture can be resolved. Both upper and lower den-
tures can be fixed in place so that eating and speaking can be done
confidently and comfortably.

Don't be too quick to worry about "dentures in one d". You will
be wearing your dentures many many years and you should take
time to make sure they fit properly and look nice. Those goals can
not always be accomplished in one day.

If your natural teeth are kaput, a denture can be a real improve-
ment in health and appearance. Health is always the first focus.
No matter what stage of dental health or dental disease you have,
don't put off seeing a dentist. We have many options to meet your
particular situation and wishes. Most importantly, don't hesitate
smiling because you're ashamed of the appearance or function of
your teeth. Life is TOO short! Enjoy it,

Dr. Lea Wheeler

Honor Roll


SRecoc

A "Young At Heart" reception
"was held May 6 at the Catheryn
iMcDonald Senior Center in
;Wauchula. The annual event is held
;to recognize May as Older
/Americans Month and to honor
Hardee County's senior residents.
Ann Martin, executive director
;for H.O.P.E. of Hardee, welcomed
'everyone. John Russell, president
iof the Hardee County Council on
'Aging Inc., led in the invocation
iand Bob Hendley of R.A. Jones
IPost No. 10285 led.the flag salute.
A plaque was presented' to
iDunning Terrell as this year's
'"Outstanding Senior." A biography
Pwas read outlining his many accom-
plishments.
The winners from the "My
Favorite Older Person" essay con-
test were next on the program.
SReceiving trophies and cash prizes
'were Savanna Hagans, first place;
'Summer Palmer, second place; and
Kimberly Perez, third place.
Entertainment for the event was
provided by Tim Davis, minister of
;music at the First Baptist Church of
Wauchula.
Phil and Grace Glorius, age 91,
;were recognized as the oldest citi-
zens in attendance. Each received a
-beautiful flower arrangement.
f The following are the three essay
,winner's entries, unedited and in
their entirety:

S FIRST PLACE
By SAVANNA HAGANS
SMy favorite older person is my
granny. Her name is Frankie Green.
SShebecame my granny only a short
'time ago. My mom adopted us
|whie we were younger there were 4
|of us all together. Then about three
years ago my mom Sondra Hagans
passed away. My cousin Emily
'Green and Daniel Green, my new
,Mom & Dad. got custody of us and
'now we are a big family 7 children
'all together. Daniels Mom is now
-my granny. She was Dr. Palmers
Nurse for many years.
One reason I feel she is my
: favorite older person is because she
has welcomed me and my brothers
iand sister into her family as if we
were her own grandchildren. She
'has 14 of them. I love my favorite
older'person because she let's us
cook and she has taught us how to
make homemade biscuits and' they
are delicious with jelly. She has also
taught us to believe in ourselves and
never to give up. My granny has
')even survived cancer all through'
:chemotherapy we were still allowed
'to come visit no matter how tired or
sick she was. I feel my granny can
do anything.
S She has also taken care of her sis-
ter-in-law Berty Crisp, who was bed
S;ridden and terribly ill for 8 or more
'months. She also welcomed her into
S her house and took care of her 24
hours a day, never once complain-
ng while still having-time for us.
I'adly my aunt Betty died April
:15th. I thanked God every night for
'my new Mom and Dad, brothers
and sister and my poppy and espe-
.cially my granny Green, who I
know loves me very much. Now my
'family is complete.
I All of these things are why I feel
Imy older person is the best. I.only
;whish everyone could have some-
'one like Frankie Green, my granny
in their life.


SECOND PLACE
By SUMMER PALMER
My favorite elder would be Mrs..

Inizes Older Americans


COURHIt SY PHOTOS
Dunning Terrell was recognized as this year's "Outstanding Senior." Pictured (from left) are John
Russell, president of the Hardee County Council on Aging; Terrell; Judy Terrell, his daughter; and
Ann Martin, executive director for H.O.RE of Hardee.


The winners from the "My Favorite Older Person" essay contest shown at the reception are (front,
from left) Savanna Hagans, first place, from North Wauchula Elementary School; Summer Palmer,
second place, Wauchula Elementary School: and Kimberly Perez, third place, North Wauchula
Elementary School. In the back are honorees M.J. Swain, Lanore VanderLaan and Frankie Green.


don't just go see her to get candy or
cookies, I visit her. See how she's
doing. Since she's lost her husband
I've been talking to her a lot.
I admire Mrs. Lanore because she
is a very nice willing person. She's
a Christian and puts everybody
before herself. She's always been
nice to everybody, caring for them!
She did not deserve to loose Mr.
Bob (her husband) at all.
A month ago she invited my sis-
ter and I over to bake chocolate and
candy! She gave us recipes to take
home and the food too! She always
wants people to have fun and we
did! She invited us over even,
though she lost her husband and
she's sad. She doesn't care though,
she cares-, about other people. That
;would be why she's my favorite
older person!

THIRD PLACE
By KIMBERLY PEREZ
Everyone has a favorite person,
someone they can rely on. someone
they can talk to. and someone they.
can talk about so they can five other.
people the home of having there,
own special someone. Now it is my
turn.
I'm going to tell you about mN
grandfather (M.J. Swain) for he is
my special someone, because he
was there when I' needed him;
Although I don't know everything
about him and I don't know a lot
about his past, I still love him. One
thing I like about my grandfather is
if Iwere to fall dow n off my bike he
would,laugh and that gives me the
courage to try again,
Another reason,why I like my
.grandfather is the stories of living


off the land and how they made up
games and also made toys. I like lis-
tening about the stories of how he
and his siblings played tricks on
each other for fun.
i One of the things I like best about
my grandfather is how much he.
.loves me. I've never seen him cry
but I've heard many times after I
ihad my open heart surgeries and
,how many times I came to death,
how people said my 'grandfather
walked out of the hospital crying.
My mom and dad had many argu-
ments then ended up divorced: I
went about 5 years without a dad.
The only dad figure I could relate to
was my grandfather.
Now you know why my grand-
dad is my favorite person. He has
been and inspiration to me and all
of this other grandkids.

Freda's Foibles
By Freda B..Douglas


Be of good cheer! Today will be better than yesterday and tomorrow
will even be better than today.

Imagine how God works in your life. I don't subscribe to much read-
'ing material, simply because while I don't begrudge the time I read, I do
begrudge the fact if I start reading a book, then nothing else gets done. I get
so engrossed in a good book that sometimes a mealtime escapes me. One
magazine I do subscribe to is "Guideposts," and it gets read immediately.
I have the latest issue of "Guideposts" beside my computer and when
leafing through it, I found a topic I want to share with my readers.
It has become a custom among some people to give a gift in the hon-
oree's name to their favorite charity. You might have to ask a family mem-
ber what the favorite charity is, because people who give don't do it for
notoriety. It gives them a good feeling when they contribute.
This could be in place of a wedding gift, a birthday gift, a housewarm-
ing gift, a gesture to the new grandparents or for a number of other things.
It doesn't have to be a'gift of money. I often give books to the library in
memory of a loved one who I know loved to read. (Believe me, Hardee
County Librarian Diane Hunt loves this:)
The main idea behind this practice is so your gift goes on giving. How
does a toaster keep on giving when you get more than one as a shower or
wedding gift? The extras get taken back to the store and the cash goes in
somebody's pocket or purse. If the charitable gift goes to a children's char-
ity, for example, it could save a life. Wouldn't that feel good in your soul?
So, my faithful reader, consider donating. "It's a good thing!"

I hope my readers enjoyed the Memorial Day holiday, and I hope you
were surrounded by family and friends.

As you travel the highways and the byways of your life, I hope you will
remember God loves you, and you, and so do I.

5:26-6:16c


Almost every week something ',-
rible is on TV or the news.
There's a song I love and it's
called We Want America Back. It
is about the current wild-eyed,
drug-addicted teenagers and how
back in the old days Andy Griffith
was the number one show.
Well, you know I really long for
those times. We may not have had
much, but if you left your bike in
the yard it was still there the next
morning. Men were men, wives
'were wives, mothers were mothers,
.and dads were dads. How I wish
we could go back there.
Now how many kids call their
parents by their first names? How
many husbands bring home flowers
and little gifts like, they used to?
How many moms feed their kids a
hot breakfast in the morning before
school, and I don't mean out of the
microwave? How many dads take
the families on picnics or a trip to
the park?
How many homes have been
broken because of adultery, etc?
How many men and women beat,
their spouse? How many parents
are in convalescent homes because
the kids don't.want to deal with
them?


RIDA Everyone in the house is work-
2 ing because they have to have a
$20,,000 home and a $50,000 dol-


lar vehicle. What happened to the
good old days when family was
family, and they all stuck together
and respected the parents.
All I can say is I beg and plead
and if I have to get on my knees and
beg everyone within reading or
hearing of my voice, please return
to God of Heaven and repent. Stop
getting above your raising; make
time for God first and your family
second.
I am telling you all things will
come to pass. Put God king of your
.castle and Jesus king of your heart.
Put tighter reins on your kids. Stop
them from talking back and the
jails will be cleared and HRS will
stay out of peoples lives and maybe
people could raise ,God-fearing
children.
'The Bible says spare the rod and
spoil the child. If you don't whip
the child then you do not love that
child. Now that does not mean
excessive beatings. That means
spankings. They never hurt me,
and I am 42 years old and love
Je'sus with all my heart, body and
soul.
Also, that doesn't mean rapists
and child molesters should get
away. We should keep our eyes on
good things, not bad things. It is

Dear Dad

Remember the bicycle you taught me to ride,
and you ran right by my side?
You blew bubbles that landed on my nose,
and let me splash under the water hose?

You counted slowly so I could hide,
and tickled me until I cried?
You rode me on your back,
all the time laughing with delight?

Your kissed me on the top of my head,
and chased monsters from under my bed.
And it.was always your name
I called when the thunder and lightning came.

It was your precious eyes that guided me through life,
amid a world full of stife.
YoU always knew how to talk away my fears,
and dry up all my tears.

You taught me I could be daring,
but to always be loving and caring
Not to listen to other Voices,
but to make my own choices.

Every night I'll wish you sweet dreams, Dad.
and I hope you remember the good times
and try to forget the bad.
"Goodnight, sweet prince, until we meet again".

Resthaven Once Again Lives Up To Its Name


By SHAYLA BRYAN
Herald-Advocate Intern
Resthaven residents are glad to
finally be back home.
The assisted living facility, which
was closed for nine months, is cur-
rently housing 18 of its previous
residents.
When Hurricane Charley hit,
Resthaven had 33 residents. During
the time it was closed, those people


were forced to find a new place to
call home. Some stayed with fami-
ly or friends, and many made an
assisted living facility in Sebring
their temporary home.
Before Resthaven could reopen,
it had to undergo major renova-
tions. The building received a new
roof, some walls had to be torn
down and rebuilt, new tile and car-
peting were added as well as some


new furniture.
In the dining room, round tables
have replaced the two long ones,
-giving it a more "homey" feel.
Relandscaping, was done around
. the building, a bird bath was put in
and the swing repainted.
The beauty shop has been moved
from a small room to a larger sun
porch. Rose, of Rose's Country
Beauty Shop, comes once a week


and does the ladies' hair and nails.
She will also begin doing the men's
hair.
"It's been stressful, but it has all
worked out and it's beautiful,"
Mary Lois Crawley, president of


the Board of Directions remarked.
"The residents were excited.
They couldn't wait. Our phone was
ringing off. the hook with their
calls, wanting to know when they
could come back," Crawley added.


.t







...


Resthaven held an open house in
April for the public to have an
opportunity to see how the facility
had been renovated before the resi-
dents came. back. Light refresh-
ments were served, and Crawley
said they had a really good turnout
and that those present were elated
over how it looked. She estimated
that 175 to 200 people were pre-
sent.
On May 10, Resthaven received
its license and began to call the for-
mer residents. They started coming
back the next day. Sharon Manley
was the first to return. Ruth
Blanchard was the second one back
and the others soon followed.
"It won't take long to get back up
to that same number. Whoever calls
and wants to come and stay, can;
Several of the old residents moved
out of state and, unfortunately, a
few passed away," Crawley report-
ed.
Each year Resthaven hosts a
Christmas party for its residents.
Last year it didn't because it was
closed. Resthaven will, however,
be giving a welcome back party for
previous residents and their fami-
lies sometime in June.


Resthaven's doors welcome residents as they return.


Ruth Blanchard (center) was the second resident back. She is greeted by Rogers, Eleanor
Dasher,4he'Rev. Jim Williams, Maryann Medrano and Mary Lois Crawley.


You gain strength, courage and
confidence by every experience
0. ". in which you really stop to look
fear in tihe face. You are able to
say to yourself, 'I have lived
through this horror. I can take
the next thing that comes along.'
You must do the thing you think
COURTESY PHOTOS you cannot do.

TEENS INTERVIEW ELDERS



POLIO DIDN'T SLOW GRANDPA DOWN


By JOHN-PAUL BARTON
SSpecial To The Herald-Advocate
Paul Hyman, my mom's dad, was born
on Dec. 15, 1928, in Bonifay. He tells the
story that his great-grandmother was Creek
'Indian, but there is no documentation to
Support his claim. He has three brothers and
one sister. They lived on a 360-acre farm in
Bonifay.
Their house was in- the middle of the.
farm. It was a big wood-frame house with-
out electricity. They didn't get that until
later. This is where they would raise and
'harvest all their food. They had a garden
that they would grow, anything and every-
thing that could grow. On the farm they
would make their own butter. "Not much
was ever bought from the store," Grandpa
said. "In fact, we sold to the stores. We sold
mostly pecans, cotton and corn."'
At the age of 2, he wa diagnosed with
Spolio. At this time they didn't have a cure
or medication to help. He could not walk
until he was 3 years of age. Polio caused
.his left leg to grow shorter than his right.
This gave him a limp that he still has.
S When he got older, Grandpa, with the
rest of his siblings, got up way before the
sun would rise eery morning and would
start on the chores. Grandpa would milk
cows, collect eggs from the chickens and
feed all the animals.
: My grandpa was responsible for most of
the work on the farm; His oldest brother
1 ad been drafted in the Armv. So much of
the responsibility for the farm work fell on
him. He has always been short and skinny,
but on the farm size didn't matter. No mat-,
ter what age, what size or what sex, you
would still learn to work hard. To us, we
would say that it would be really hard. To
him, that was all there was. He didn't know
Sof any other life.
For fun. he and his brothers would try to
hurry with the chores and earn some free
time. If they received .tat free time, they
would grab some cooked s\eet potatoes
and some cornbread, and would go to the
creek to fish or to swim. They would make
bows and arrows, and play the famous little
kid game "Cowboys and Indians."
He \\as very good in school. His favorite
subject was math. Grandpa graduated third
in his class at age 18. He was offered a
four-year scholarship in math, but he turned
it down. His reasons were. "I didn't have
nice clothes. All I had was overalls. On the
farm, all you needed was a good pair of
overalls." Grandpa didn't have money to
spend to buy clothes. He wasn't given a
\weekly allowance, like we are.
After he graduated, he w as offered a job
in Jerome, near Glades City. He worked in
a supply store owned by C.J. Jones. When
he left his house his father gave him $50, to
buy some nicer clothes and his next few
meals until he got his earnings. So, he start-
ed working, selling tools, clothes, food or
whatever was needed. He also ran the pay-
roll for every one of C.J. Jones' workers. At
that time Mr. Jones owned many stores and
ran many different companies. My grandpa
was paid $35 a week, which would be
worth much more now. He worked an aver-
age of 14 hours a day, six days a week
there, which added up to 84 hours a-week.
He paid $700 for his first car, a 1942
Ford Club Coupe. Later in 1950, he bought
his first brand new car. He paid $1.100 for

a Ford Nash Wagon.
While he worked at this supply store, he
sold a lot of merchandise to Seminole
Indians. "The Seminoles would walk right
out of the sawgrass across the street from
the store. It was unusual to see a person
walking right out of the \ oods like that.
Yay see, it was all swamp back there. Only
the Indians would go back in the swamp'.
The Indians would also walk in: single file
and would purchase one item at a time.
They would buy one sack of cornmeal or
flour, then go outside, wait awhile, then
come back in the store and purchase one of

C Lookin' Back)
something else. I couldn't figure out why
they did that until I asked' someone that'
knew about them. He said they did that
because they didn't know how to count
money. S. they would purchase one thing
and see how much they had left, and then
purchase something else."
My grandpa told me that he was.once
invited to be the special guest of the Green,
Corn Harvest. "It was a Seminole ceremony
that took place on the reservation or camp
they lied at. They would take the young
Sboys, or braves, and % would inake a cut ,on
their body, which would leave a scar. I did-
n't go:because I had to work, but I'm sure it
would have been something to see," he
said..
W When Grandpa vas 21 years old, he
went to the Naples Pier to fish and swim.
That's what they did for fun then, and he
met a pretty young lady named Loretta
To\ nsend. He married her and moved to
Immokalee. Here he would keep working
for Mr. Jones. At that time, Mr. Jones
owned most of the city. He owned the
sawmills, the 45 houses there and the store
my grandpa worked at.
Not long after he was married, he w\as
drafted in the Army to fight in the Korean
War. Grandpa enlisted and started basic
training. His drill officer made them march
in the freezing rain, and sleep in wet
clothes. His platoon got pneumonia, and
three of the soldiers died.
While my Grandpa was in the hospital to
be treated for the sickness, the doctors dis-
covered that he had once had polio. He told
them he had informed the enlisting officers
and put it on his papers, but they had over-
looked it. He spent the remainder of his
time working in the hospital as a clerk. He
worked in the emergency room admitting
patients. He was then given an honorable
discharge.
When he was finally out of the Army he
moved back to Immokalee and built a store.
He named it after his new daughter, Cindy.
It was called Cindy's Store. He eventually
sold the store and moved to Auburndale (an
hour north of here). By this time he had
three daughters: Cindy, Susan and Lisa.
They spent one of their summers helping
him build a brick house that he still lives in
to this day. He also built another grocery
store. He named it Sunshine Market. It
became a big success in Aubumdale.
After school and on weekends, Grandpa
would let my mom and her sister help in
the store. My Aunt Cindy (the oldest)
would cashier, my mom (second in line)
would stock shelves and Lisa (the
youngest) was too young to work. My

grandmother would also help with the
cashiering and doing taxes and bills.
Grandpa would work from sun up to sun
down every day. He would put in 80 hours
a week. When the store closed, he did not
go home. He would stock shelves, cut and
wrapped the meat, mopthe floors and pre-
pare for making orders,.-Grandpa finally
sold that store andi'made a good profit. He
opened and sold two other grocery stores:
Lakeview Market and Lake Lena Market.
Whenever my. grandpa found someone to
watch the store and could take a,break in
the summer,.he and my grandmother, with,
their three daughters, would go on vacation,
usually a camping trip. They would pack up
their clothes and tents and would take off.
They drove wherever they went because my
grandpa s not too fond of flying.,
They \ qould go'to such places as the
Smokey Mountains, Ozark Mountains, and
one time they took a long trip to the Grand
Canyon. On this trip they went along the
southern coast of the states, stopping in
Louisiana, Te\as. Arizona and California.
My mother and her sisters didn't like the
long days spent driving, but would enjoy
camping when they arrived at their destina-
tion. He knew that letting them see some of
the rest of the world would do them some
good. He can recall stopping at deserts arid
springs.
He opened a pawn shop in Auburndale
and named it Hyman's Swap Shop. It
became famous for all the jokes and pranks
my grandpa would d play there, using "one
man's trash is another man's treasure." He
\xould sell things such as "a single shoe for
a one-legged man" or he would sell "invisi-
ble fish" to kids. He also played a prank on
the customers by telling them he had a fero-
cious mongoose. My grandpa can really
work up a story. If he's not talking about


death, then he's probably pulling your leg.
,Grandpa sold the swap shop, and went to
work for the Sheriff's Department. He had
worked with the Sheriff's Department for
years as a volunteer auxiliary officer. Now
he made it a full-time job, as he was placed
in charge of all 200 safety patrolers and
crossing guards in Polk County. "It was like
semi-retirement," Grandpa would say. he
wasn't used to working 40-hqur weeks.
Grandpa did this for thirteen years and then
retired five years ago.
Grandpa has never been in debt to any
one. He doesn't borrow or seek help from
anybody. And just like all of your grandpas,
he is as stubborn as a mule. He refuses to
stop working or slow down. He now buys
and sells foreclosure homes close to his
home.
Every once in a while he will still go
camping at family reunions and such. He
and his brother, my Uncle Gene, will also
camp at Pioneer Park or on our subdivision
in Zolfo Springs. He says he likes the peace
and quiet. While he is there he will fish, do
some minor hunting (as in squirrels) or
mow.
Yes, he likes to mow. We have an 8x8
bush-hog. He likes to crank it up and take
on a 50-acre wooded area. He told me how
the first time he mowed it, a log was shred-
ded and shot into a tree, which sent it up
against his head. It knocked off his glasses
and cut his arm and head. He said "I
ha\ en't had that much fun in a long time!".
SMy grandfather is a great man and I can
only wish to be more like him.

,' B.

You ate driving happily down the highway, traveling to visit an out of
town acquaintance. Listening to your favorite radio station, nodding in time
n ith the music, you begin to hear static and the'echo of another station in
the background. Fine tuning your station is to no avail. You have traveled
,out of range of the frequency.
S At times, we stray in our spiritual lives much in the sameway. We
travel through our busy days as usual until we may realize that we are not
quite ourselves...easily frustrated, impatient, maybe discouraged as well.
What could be the cause of this emotional discomfort? Perhaps there has
been-no tragedy, no illness....but yet no real joy.
Do you see yourself in this scenario, or perhaps someone you know? ld
your spiritual life in tune? Romans 12:2 advises, "Do not be conformed to
this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may
prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Are you in the range of the voice of the Holy Spirit? Worship this
week and rediscover the joy of the presence of God your life. Get "tuned in"
This Sabbath.

The fellowship hall and rose garden of the First United Methodist Church of Bowling Green was
the setting for a Mother's Day Tea held on Saturday, May 7. Over 40 guests attended. The fellow-
ship hall was decorated in yellow and white with white and yellow daisies placed on tables in
Mason jars. Those who attended were asked to wear hats, which were judged in several cate-
gories. Prizes were given to winners. There were hats worn that were over 80 years old. Chef
Megan Mitchell served punch, tea sandwiches, cakes and other treats. Guests enjoyed hearing
Tarah Mitchell sing while they ate, and then were invited to choose a teacup and help themselves
to a variety of teas served; from several unique teapots. A tent was set up-in the rose garden for
everyone to sit under and enjoy sipping tea.

Orange juice consumption in the United Sates increased four percent in March and two percent
in April 2005, reported Keith Rupp (right) to the Wauchula Kiwanis Club on Tuesday, May 24. Rupp
is manager of global marketing communications for the Florida Department of Citrus based in
Lakeland. This sales increase reverses a 30-month decline, he said. The Kiwanis Club meets
every Tuesday at noon at The Panda Restaurant in Wauchula. In photo with him (from left) are

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson

Knowing God takes a willingness to go out into the unknown to make
contact with a great person we can't see. To do that, we must be convinced
in one way or another that the "risk" is worth it, because most of us want to
stay in our own "comfort zones."
: The challenge of "going out" is that you're not sure just \ here you are
going. I think that's the number-one reason why so few people sign up to.
follow the Lord. They want a road map. They want to know which motel',
they will be stopping at, what is the destination, what they'll get for their
trouble and when they'll get back. Most often. God does not provide such
information in advance. He just says, "Trust me."
However, the person who does take that first scary step into the
Unknown, finds that God is right there to bless and to show what the next
step will be. :
There are no easy ways to trust God. There are lots of formulas for
those who like do-it-yourself religions. But the formulas simply do not
work over the long run because God is not a problem in geometry. He is a
person, and you don't get to know another person quickly. You can be intro-
duced quickly, but it takes time to know anybody even your husband or
your wife!
The story is told of a little boy with yellow hair and blue eyes iho came
Oipon an old man fishing beside the Mississippi River. Immediately the boy
started asking the old fisherman questions about what kind of fish there
'tere and how long he had to wait and where were the best places to cast his
ine. Patiently the old man answered every question.
SSuddenly, their conversation was interrupted by the whistle of the
majestic River Queen. It passed by near the shore and over the noise of the
big paddlewheel, the little boy's voice called out, "Let me ride! Let me
ride!" The old man tried to quiet him, explaining that the River Queen was
too important to be stopped to give small boys a ride. But the little: boy
shouted all the louder,,"Let me ride!"
To the old man's amazement, the huge rier boat reversed its paddle-
wheel, pulled up to the dock, and lowered a gangway. In a flash, two young
!eet scampered aboard. A few moments later, as the ship pulled away,-a
shock of yellow hair and two blue eyes appeared above the rail "Mister" he
shouted, "I knew the boat would stop for me. The captain is my father!"
So how can you come to know God like that?
By trusting Him over and over until you discover for yourself that He
is absolutely dependable.
A degree from a Bible college won't do that. Another person can't do
that for you. But when you do it, you Will have something no one can take
from you. I know of no shortcuts.
Has God made you sensitive to His voice so that you can hear Him in
'he middle of a conversation with a friend, in the middle of the night in a
dream, in the middle of reading a book pr in the middle of a song? There is
pnly one way to become sensitive, like that:by listening and obeying.
I How important is it? "I count everything sheer loss," Paul said,
'because all is far outweighed by the gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
or whose sake I did in fact lose everything. I count is so much garbage, for
the sake of gaining Christ." (Phil. 3:8)

10 YEARS AGO
It's been 35 years since a hurri-
cane hit Hardee County.
Always in the back of emergency
management director Ron Luke's
mind lurks the question: Will this be
the year?
Luke, and others in this profes-
sion. must fight the complacency of
people who were not here when
Hurricane Donna swept through the
area on Sept. 10, 1960, or who think
the. devastation of Hurricane
Andrew couldn't happen in Hardee.
(A hurricane checklist appears on
Page One.)

Hardee County schools has expired.
And it appears to have been a suc-
Scess.
School Board members, meeting
in regular session last Thursday
night, were given results of parent
and student surveys taken as part of
the evaluation process for the pro-
gram.
They will review the findings-and
discuss them, and the future of job
sharing, at a later date.
Whether or not to create a phos-
phate mining coordinator position
for the county drew divergent opin-
ions at last week's County
Commission meeting.
After lengthy, and sometimes
heated discussion, the commission-
ers approved the job description
and salary range of $45,000-
$58,000 on a 3-2 vote.
One day last week when Gaila
Crews of Wauchula picked up her
son, Robert II (pictured), from
Wauchula Elementary School, she
knew his facts could not be exactly
correct when he exclaimed,
"Mama, I found millionn today!"
After talking with Robert's
teacher, Kathy Tish, Gaila learned
that Robert had all of his facts cor-
rect, except the sum of money,
which totaled over $1,000.
Robert discovered the unclaimed
purse on the school grounds and
delivered it to the office, only to


hear shocked school personnel as
the purse was opened and the
money discovered.
The purse belonged to a Hispanic
lady who, in preparing to move
from Hardee County, had put
"everything she owned in that
purse," related Gaila.
Needless to say, the 11-year-old is
quite proud of himself for his sense
of honesty as are his parents, Robert
and Gaila, 13-year-old sister Robin
and 22-year-old brother Blake
McCall of Bartow.
The Herger Williams Post 2 of the
American Legion recently selected
Jerald Steven Southwell (pictured)
to attend Boys State on the campus
of Florida State University in
Tallahassee June 18-24. He is the
son of Jerry and Jill Southwell.
Jennifer Lee Gough (pictured) of
Wauchula recently accepted a posi-
tior with United Agri Products
(UAP) at its corporate office in
Greeley, Colo.
The 25-year-old is the daughter
of John Roy and Ginger Lee Gough
of Wauchula. She has a younger
brother and sister, J.R. of Wauchula
and Jessica of Lakeland.

Character is like a tree and repF
utation like its shadow. The

the tree is the real thing.

Sports Sense
& Nonsense
By Joan Seaman


There's not much news this time of year. There's a lot of summer
sports, mostly clinics and practices for those planning to play fall sports.
such as volleyball, golf, football or the winter sport basketball.

The Hardee Wildcats looked real good in their Spring Classic football
game at Lake Wales: Hardee won 28-14 plus 6-0 in a Kansas tie-breaker at
the end of the usual four quarters. Junior Weston Palmer took control of the
first team in the final quarter when they broke a 14-14 tie with a pair of
scores. It kinda makes one excited about the upcoming season.
Rocky Kitchens, deputy superintendent of schools in charge of facili-
ties, reports progress on upgrades at Wildcat Stadium. The new field house
should be done the end of July and new restrooms and concession stands
may be done in time for the first home game.
Redistricting by the Florida High, School Athletic Association affects
not only football, which ended up in a 3A-12 district including Avon Park,
Sebring, DeSoto and Hardee:
Baseball, softball, volleyball, and girls ard boys basketball are in a new
4A-10 district including Avon Park, Sarasota Booker, the new Braden River
of Bradenton, DeSoto; Palmetto, Sebring and Hardee.
For boys and girls soccer, it is 4A-10 with Avon Park, Braden River,
DeSoto, Palmetto, Sebriingand Hardee.
Swimming and diving is in 1A-5. Along with Hardee are All Saints' of
Winter Haven, Avon Park, .Frostproof, Haines City, Haven Christian of
Winter Haven (girls only), Lake Placid, Lake Wales, Lakeland Christian,
Mulberry, Lakeland Santa Fe Catholic and the new Ridge High of
Davenport.
Golf is also in Class IA, but District 16, along with Avon Park, Braden
River, Bradenton Academy, Bradenton Christian (boys only); Sarasota
Cardinal Mooney, DeSoto; Lake Placid, Manatee HEAT (boys only),
Sarasota Out-of-Door Academy (boys only), St.-Stephen's Episcopal of
Bradenton and Sarasota Christian (boys only).
Finally, for Cross Country, there is 2A District 6 of 16 schools, includ-
ing Fort Myers Bishop Verot, Braden River, Cardinal Mooney, Clewiston,
DeSoto, Fort Myers Dunbara, Estero, Naples Golden Gate, Immokalee,
LaBelle, Lake Placid, Englewood Lemon Bay, Naples, Palmetto Ridge of
Naples and Fort Myers Riverdale.
It looks like an interesting sports year coming tip. Stay tuned for more
information as it comes.
Information from community and school athletic events is always welcome.
