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.

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 and have been sitting in on budget requests, getting ready for negotia- tions with the (school employees) union. Most of the money is set for class size reduction and teacher additions. I don't know how many. new units that is, it's a bit compli- cated," said Rocky Kitchens, See $30 MILLION 2A 2 Teens 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.

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. ABOUT ...

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.

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. )o 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 June 2, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 3A $10,000 SCHOLARSHIP 0,. 0 .i5. .. ,a ..-. .^ '- ?.

Main Street Wauchula Provided as a courtesy of Robarts Family Funeral Home 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 ,I'm Telling the Truth!- J. Adam Shanks is minister ofthe Church of Christ in Wauchula.

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.

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! Marty Becker Bowling Green 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.

"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. New business or management? Remodeling or relocating?

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 6:2c . r r i 1 c,t r .

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.. Lanore VanderLaan. She is (I'm pretty sure) 81 years old. She lives near Pioneer Park and every now and then we go visit her. About 6 months ago her husband died, who was also a very sweet man. For a long time she has been the "Candy Lady" for First Baptist Church. She always carries candy around and gives it to kids. When my sister was in 6th grade, Mrs. Lanore became her adopted Grandmother. Before this she was just a nice lady who gave me candy. however now, she's like a part of our family. Now that I'm older I ABOUT ... Letters To The Editor The Herald-Advocate welcomes letters to the edi- tor on matters of public interest.

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! ,1 a .'. * 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.

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. HARDEE COUNTY KIDS NEED HARDEE COUNTY HELP!

Weed as his Deputy Clerk 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 better to be blind than to see hell. So people, please give thought to what I wrote. Don't think of it the wrong way. I am not accusing any- one. It is just my opinion. And like the old saying goes, everybody's got one. In Jesus Name, Georgia Miranda Wauchula 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.

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 * Accoustical Ceiling * Commercial torofronts * Door Closuroe * Insulation * Mirrors 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 * Table Tops * Tub a thower Enclosures * Ventilated gholving * Windows * Window Screons "FREE ESTIMATES" CALL US FOR ALL YOUR COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL NEEDS Emrgn. Emergency 382-3392 4:28-6.2c 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.

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.

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 Carlos Bailey, a Hardee County orange grover owner from Alabama, and Mark Manuel. Award-winning instrumentalists are Dylan Justice (left) and Clark Zelyk. Lindsey Garner , There is one good thing about this world, there are always sure torbe more springs. --'Lucy Maud Montgomery Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and show- ing it principally in one spot. S-Josh Billings Judge thyself with the judgment of sincerity, and thou will judge others with the judgment of charity. 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."

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.

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 shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. -Abraham Lincoln -F----- - 10B The Herald-Advocate, June 2, 2005 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).

Men's League Midway By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate IThe 2005 Men's Church Sol'thall League has less than three weet s left in its season. Skipping the Monday games on Memorial Day. and resuming play tonight (Thursday) narrows the Men's League to five nights of games before the post-season sin- gle-elimination tournament begins. St. Michael's Catholic Church appears to have an insurmountable lead with its 7-0 record. Next in line is Christian Heritage at 5-2. Then, it is Wauchula First Baptist, Bowling Green Baptist, St. Alfonso's Center, Northside Baptist and First Christian. In action last Monday on Field 3, St. Michael's knocked Northside 17-2. Ray Rivas and Tomas Trevino, each tripled and Ruben Rivas dou- bled for St. Michael's. Mario Trevino was the only triple-tally batter. Josh McKibben, Brent Gilliard, Ray Rivas and Francisco Rodriguez each circled the bases twice. Northside started well, with lead- off batter Travis Wiggins and John Roberson scoring on a Greg Summers hit before three outs sat them down. Mike Choate and pick- up player Todd Rodgers were also stranded. B 6The Field 3 late game was a thriller, with First Baptist edging St. Alfonso 4-3. Kellon Durrance tripled and dou- bled and was the only two-score batter for First Baptist. Michael Kelly and Steve Johnson each chipped in with a run.
