By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate Zolfo Springs police officers won their requested raises Monday night, whether or not the town can pay for them. That decision followed two hours of discussion interspersed with shouting, gaveling, sarcasm, innuendo, pleas, catcalls- and applause. One police officer was even threatened with ejection. Near the end, it was Town Council Chairman George Neel who asked just that question of his fellow councilors, "How are you going to pay for it?" With that, Finance Director Linda Roberson, who also is serv- ing as interim town clerk, said she and Mayor Marilyn Aker and Councilwoman Maggie Belcher all had spoken with the town's inde- pendent auditor, Ed Leonard, earli- er in the day. He predicted the town's general fund would have a $15,000 deficit PHOTO BY RALPH HARRISON A house on Dansby Road was moved 15 feet by a tornado spawned from Hurricane Dennis.

At his Jan. 26 arrest. Martinez had been charged "ith two counts of attempted second-degree murder. In accepting the plea agreement, Circuit Judge Robert E.

Any raises given would, add to the red ink, she said. She provided the council with a work- sheet showing the raises requested by police administrator David: Scheid last month would cost the town-an additional $1,271 a month,' or $3,812 for this fiscal year. Roberson also said Leonard put: the police department at $40,000 over its budget to date, and estimat- ed that figure would grow to, $60,000 by the end of the year. And it is not just the general fund that is in trouble, Leonard noted' The town's enterprise funds, for water and sewer, will likely be $80,000 in the hole by Sept. 30, he said. Finally, Roberson said the town received $6,344 in fines in June. It was noted that when the police department writes traffic citations; 56 percent of the fines collected is ultimately returned to the town. See ZSPD 2A U. S. 17 South.

Each year is named after a different animal arid imparts different characteristics, to its year. Some Chinese believe that the year of a persons birth is the primary factor in determining that person's personality traits, mental and physical attribut- es, and degree of happiness and success throughout his or her lifetime. My birth year is that of a monkey: "you are very intelligent and are able to influence people. An enthusiastic achiever, you are easily discour- aged and confused." Avoid tigers. Seek a dragon or a rat." My wife was born under the sign of an ox: "Bright, patient and inspir- ing to others. You can be happy by yourself, yet make an outstanding par- ent. Marry a snake or cock. The sheep will bring trouble." I don't know how accurate the Chinese Zodiac is, certainly not scien- tific but interesting: Two fisherman in Thailand in June caught a 646-pound catfish in their net in the Mekong River. The fish was eaten. This Saturday will mark the opening of America's largest cable-stayed bridge, the $685 million Cooper River Bridge in South Carolina that will connect the city of Charleston and the town of Mount Pleasant. Charlestbn is the nation'.s fourth largest container port, mo\ ing more than $75 million in cargo per day' - Project manager of the bridge is Charles Dwyer, engineer with the South Carolina Department of Transportatior. The bridge is the largest and most complex project every undertaken by the SCDOT. It is designed to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes and ship collisions. Dwyer is the brother of Kathleen Roehm of Wauchula. The Cooper River Bridge'will replace,the 1929 Grace Bridge and the 1966 Pearman Bridge which restrict the width of the channel. Thankfully Hurricane Dennis missed this area of Florida last weekend and could have been a lot worse when it hit the edge of the Panhandle on the Florida/Alabama coast. Peace River Electric Cooperative has recently started "Operation : Roundup," a charitable foundation that will disburse funds in the 10-coun- ty area and, surrounding communities for food, shelter, clothing, health/medical needs, and education. .. This concept was started in 1989 by the Palmetto Electric Cooperalke in South Carolina and today has spread to 200 electric cooperatives in America. PRECo's Jama Abbott told the Wauchtila Lions Club last week she .,' hopes $100,000 will be raised by lanuar\ 2006 and applications Ifor help c an be processed and disbursements begin Annual disbursements of foundation funds, okayed by a two-third majority, will limit individuals to $5,000 and families, organizations or charities to $20,000. : CONERLY Continued Froml1A, , Baker, Mavis Best, Willie Gilliard, Pete, Granda,.

Royal said, "The military allows us to have freedom, and may God be with each and every one of you. We are proud and thankful for what you do." Atchley kept it simple by sincere- ly saying 'thank you and God bless.' Atchley said he has lost fam- ily members in military service to America.

Main Street Wauchula Provided as a courtesy of Robarts Family Funeral Home Letter To Editor Charles Flesher II Responds To Higginbottom Letters Dear Editor: My reason for writing is to address a couple of letters to the editor in your July 7, 2005, edition of The Herald-Advocate. First, I would like to address the Letter to the Editor which is enti- tled "Religions Exist Because People Are Going to Die." I agree that some religions have been brought into existence to answer the age old question of life after death. However, just so there is no mis- understanding, religion will not help anyone of us gain everlasting life. Unfortunately, we have seen many people fall under this errant belief in today's world (2 Timothy, Chapter 3, verses 1-5). The Good News, however, is that through a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is our only connection to God theFather, we truly begin to experience Life (John, Chapter 14, SCOTT DAVID McCULLOUGH Scott David McCullough, 33, of Havelock, N.C., died Wednesday, July 6, 2005, in Havelock. Born in Punxsutawney, Pa., he was a 1990 graduate of Hardee High School and served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a gunnery sergeant in Cherry Point, N.C., for 14 years. He was a Protestant. Sur ivors are his mother. Donna Best of Wauchula; father, Fred McCullough of Punxsutawney, Pa.: wife, Jill McCullough of Havelock; two sons, Skyler McCullough and Jared McCullough,; both of Wauchula; one daughter, Lindsey McCullough of Zolfo Springs; two brothers, Gary McCullough and wife Brenda of Punxsutawney and Randy McCullough and wife Francine of Bellfonte, Pa; and one sister, Barbara Pearson and hus- band Kelly of Lakeland. Funeral service will be-'held Friday, July 15, at 1 p.m. at Purcell Funeral Home Chapel, Bushnell, -with burial in Florida.: National Cemetery. Visitation will be today (Thursday, July 14), 6-8 p.m., at the funeral home chapel. Purcell Funeral Home Bushnell verse 6). As a Christian, death no longer reigns supreme on my mind, for my Lord and Savior has over- come the grips of death and given all of us who believe the same promise (John, Chapter 8, verse 51). For me, physical death, without any doubt, will be only the begin- ning. At this point, your response may be, how can you be so sure of this? Well, quite simply, I am sure because previously when I have stood by faith on the promises of the Word of God, they. have never failed me, ever (Isaiah, Chapter 55, verses 10 and 11). Furthermore, based on the relia- bility of the here and now promises of the Bible, I have no other choice but to believe in the promise of eternal life. (John, Chapter 3, verse 16). Second, in reference to the letter titled "People Should Read The Bible With An Open Mind," I would like to say I emphatically agree with that particular state- ment. However, from my review of said letter it appears as though a very close-minded approach has been taken, and, in fact, that letter is written within the confines of one man's scope of understanding. Dangerous possibilities exist in the type of generalization that says ifone thing happens then another is an impossibility. Human under- standing will only take you so far. God specifically designed it this .way so that your faith may not rest within the confines of human wis- dom, but on God's power (1 Corinthians, Chapter 2, verses 4 and 5). In reference to suffering, tragedy and pain, I would like to quote a small portion of Author Lee Strobel's interview with Peter John Kreeft Ph.D., in his book entitled "A Case For Faith." Therein, Mr. Kreeft states, "No, the evidence is that God is all-powerful: The point to remember is that creating a world where there's free will and no possibility of sin is a: self-con- tradiction and that opens the door to people choosing evil over God, with suffering being the result. "The overwhelming majority of the pain in the world is caused by our choices to kill, to slander, to be selfish, to stray sexually, to break our promises, to be reckless." If you have an open mind, you must consider this possibility, together with the understanding that just because your mind can't fathom something, does not make it untrue or unbelievable. In closing, my final point is this, don't take my word, search it out for yourself (Matthew, Chapter 7. verses 7-8). I did and at first just simply by reading and applying the principles of the Bible, I was in the process of choosing life (Deuteronomy, Chapter 30, verse 19 and 20). By doing this, along with keep- ing an active prayer life, my rela- tionship with God, together with my measure of faith began to blos- som (Mark, Chapter 4, verses 24- 25). Even when it went beyond the scope of my reason or understand- ing, I stood on the promises of God's word and in doing so, I have never been let down, but in fact I have overcome and have begun to live the abundant life God designed for all of us through a relationship with his Son, Jesus Christ. My prayer is that be reading this, you will be compelled to. check it out for yourself. I will personally make myself available for anyone who chooses to know the Truth (John, Chapter 8, verses 31 and 32). Sincerely, Charles N. Flesher II Wauchula ABOUT ...

A: My teaches.were mean, oh they were mean. If you were talking and the teacher. S\as tr\in, to talk at the same time. \ou would get whacked with a wooden yard. stick right on the top of your hand. I'll tell you what, that hurt! Q: What kind of misdeeds got kids in trouble? A: Well, a lot of the guys would get sent ( Lookin' Back) home or paddled, because they would be smoking in school or on school grounds, or drinking. Q: Did you have any extra-curricular activities? A: No we didn't have any extra-curricu- lar activities. Q: What was lunch like? A: We would carry our lunch to school in a pail, and then at noon we would go outside and eat our lunch, then play hide- and-go-seek or something like that. Q: Was there a lot of homework back then? A: There was no homework back then. Q: Wow, you guys were lucky when it comes to that. Well, anyway, what kind of toys did you play with?

"Well, we can't live without sewer and water, and we can't live without the police department." That elicited approval from sev- eral members of the audience, which numbered nearly 30, with about a third police officers. "I'm not getting in this dog- 'fight," town attorney Gerald Buhr said, "but State Statutes say you must balance your budget. The law says you cannot overspend." "Then we're in doo-doo with sewer and water already," Councilman Roger Green remark- ed. "Well," Buhr responded, "you can't control what hurricanes do, but you can control the decisions you make." "And who do I answer to?" Green asked. "The governor?" "Yes, well, the auditor first, then the governor," Buhr said, adding, "and the governor ultimately can remove you from office if he believes you are making bad (unlawful) decisions." The evening's discussion had Been preceded by a brief report from Sheriff J. Loran Cogburn. A letter dispensed to all council mem- bers stated that dedicating a sher- iff's deputy to Zolfo Springs 24 hours a day, seven days a week would cost $263,000 a year. Green told the audience and the council that he had asked Cogburn to provide a cost estimate "because the statement was made we could have Sheriff's Office coverage for zero dollars. Nothing's free." "If we had no police department, the Sheriff's Office would cover the town for free. It's part of the county," Neel shot back. Cogburn pointed out, however, that if such a situation occurred, "Zolfo Springs becomes like any other unincorporated community." As examples, he gave Wauchula Hills, Ona and Limestone. De- puties are sent out on a,call basis only. "I'm obliged to provide law enforcement services to the citizens of Zolfo Springs, I am not obliged to put a (full-time) deputy here," he Said. That prompted resident Vernon Johns to respond, "The main thing we're forgetting here, and I don't mean to put down the Sheriff's Office, but what about response time?" Cogburn added that there were alternatives "besides abolishing" the town's police department, including", using'-rMi'iture of to,. n man hours and deputy fill-ins. "There are hybrid situations out there," the sheriff said. "Why can't we give them gas Smone), at least?" asked Council- woman Minnie McKenzie. That provoked loud applause.

"I haven't said my peace, sir," Williams said. Neel then called out, "Sheriff Cogburn!" But attorney Buhr' stopped him, advising Neel to instead issue a warning before hav- ing anyone ejected from the meet- ing. "You are warned," Neel told Williams. Bringing the discussion back on track, Councilwoman Belcher said, "I think the police department should have a raise, a small raise. They come all the way from DeSoto (County)." "I agree," Pat Garay said from the audience, pointing toward the 152 tickets and other activities from the department's June report. Fines from the tickets are expected to total $30,848, before the town's share. "The money's coming," Green said. "It's not cash on hand, but it is coming in." At 56 percent of the monthly citation total, "it should become stable," he added. "Why can't we have our own total separate account?" asked Ofc.

"We could see our own account grow by the fines we are bringing in." Arce then added, "You want us to protect these guys like we have been doing, practically for free. I receive a 16-hour check and most of it goes for gas, the rest, I take my kids td McDonald's." He went on to say his full-time employment is at the state prison. His part-time work in the town helps him main- tain his police certification. "What you need to do is show you are proud of us, too," he said. Buhr answered, "The reality is the police department is a part of the town and, as such, is part of the general fund. She (Roberson) can give you a separate accounting, but to remove you goes against the (town) charter." There would have to be a referendum vote of the peo- ple to "separate them," he said. Roberson said she would wel- come that. "Then I could write them a check and let them pay all the bills," she smiled. Resident Johns moved to speak again, but was gaveled out of order. "This is not a town hall meeting," Neel said. "This is a council meet- ing and we have to conduct it as such." It was at that point that McKenzie made a motion to approve the raises, from $8.50 to $10 for officers and to $12 for the administrator. Meyer seconded the motion. Neel asked how it would be paid for, and then Roberson gave the accounting per auditor Ed Leonard. Meyer interjected, "I believe it's going to work. You have to believe to make it work." "The $6,000 for June will pay for the raises," Ofc. Warren Birming- ham offered. Former council member Susan Williamson, who was in the audi- ence, responded, saying there seemed to be some confusion over how the budget works. "Fines and forfeitures are already in the bud- get," she said. "It's not extra, that's not all extra." Then she said she could not ZSPD Continued From 1A understand why the police depart- ment could not wait until the next budget year to ask for raises. That would allow time to see if, indeed, the department had ended the fiscal year $60,000 in the hole. The new year begins Oct. 1. "What are you going to tell these guys who are driving 40 and 50 miles (to get to work in Zolfo Springs) and can't pay for the gas?" Birmingham asked Williamson. "That's kind, very kind," she began. "If somebody wants to be kind, then they need to be kind and not come in and demand raises." Roberson suggested giving pay to the volunteer officers rather than raises to those on the part-time ros- ter. Birmingham said the public does not know or care if a volunteer or a paid officer is showing up at their doors. But when an officer is on the pay schedule, he "would like it to be" comparable to other agencies. "We volunteer to keep up our standards (certification) and be- cause we love what we do," Birmingham said. Then he asked if someone being robbed or otherwise victimized "wants an officer five blocks away or wants a sheriff's deputy 20 miles away?" Ricky Selph, a police officer, ended the marathon discussion. "Everybody's said their peace," he stated. "Make a motion and let's go. Neel called for a vote on the pre- vious motion. Council members voted unani- mously for the raises. Afterward, Neel remarked. "Ya'll bad mouth me and say I'm against the police department. I'm not. I've never said a bad word about any officer. I only have asked you to stay within your bud- get." Later, in between other agenda discussions which followed the pay issue, Ofc. Ray Mitchell spoke up. "First, I'd like to say to the council. thank you. To Mr. Neel, we will hold up our end of the bargain." Resident Johns also addressed Neel, objecting to the chairman's earlier statement that the meeting was not a town hall meeting, but a council meeting, and would be con- ducted as such. "Some people spoke four or five times," he com- plained. *^*\: Welcome Sight At Home At School On Vacation Wherever You Are!

Dear Editor: Everyone likes to hear some- thing funny once in a while. My mother is up in age, but on the Fourth of July at night she called 911 and said she had a noise in her apartment at Forest Glade in Wauchula. Without her hearing aid. she cannot hear on the phone, just said send the'police. When he arrived he asked what was wrong? She said, hear that loud noise, sounds like a cricket. . He agreed and took his flashlight out, found the cricket behind some pictures, then it went under the couch. He then ran it out, and it jumped for the door, where he caught it and put it out. Now I have to admit this officer has nerves of steel. This is one 911 call that he will never forget. Don't know who you were, but I thank you. God Bless.

He and stablemate Toribio "Tori" .Ramirez, 18, will fight Saturday in Orlando. Ramirez has moved up to the open four-round class, while Lozano is in the 15-16 division fighting three-round bouts. In his eight-year career, young Lozano has progressively moved .up in height and weight, now fight- ing at 101 pounds. With his recent wins, he moved to a 48-7 amateur record. For four days in Brownsville, he competed against the best, all state and national champions. He began ;on Julne 23 with a bout against ;national Silver Gloves champion, -Daniel Roman of California. .Lozano dominated the three-round *bout for a 19-6 decision. On June 24, the next opponent -was Angel Maldonado of Las Vegds. The two went at it furiously, ; with Lozano claiming the 19-16 Decision. On day three, the opponent was Bradley Teutsey of Phoenix, Ariz. 'Lozano won again, getting a 26-8 . decision from the ringside judges. S On the.lst day of the Junior .Olympics, Lozano faced Robert Rodriguez of Colorado Springs, Colo., a fighter Lozano had faced. before and beaten. This time, it was :the closest bout of the finals, with .Rodriguez getting the 14-13 deci- S sion. Lozano said the four days gave 4 im a lot of needed experience. "I fused my skills, the jab, head move- ment and conditioning. My first opponent got real tired with the fast pace. It was real hot there. I fought a lot of good people, all national champions and beat three of four."

I wonder as I gaze above. I ask the Lord to give me strength, To give me guidance from Heaven high, For it is He Who knows me best, He knows what's happened, the reasons why. I also gaze at the sky so blue, Streaked with orange and red so true, I look to Heaven from atop my perch, And then I thank the Lord for you.

For the past 10 years, the Hardee County Fire Department has raised money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), a non-profit organization; Firefighters annually hold a boot drive to raise money for this cause. Their scheduled boot drive was canceled last year due to the terri- ble hurricane season, but was rescheduled for late May 2005. About 30 on-duty staff stood on street corners asking for donations. Despite the devastation Hardee County residents continue to deal with, they generously filled the firefighters' boots. One hundred percent of the funds raised go directly to help local individuals with muscular dystrophy. Even though the firefighters had to leave their covers several times for rescue calls, $3,000 was raised. When asked if he considered the drive a success, Fire Chief Michael Choate said, "It's always a suc- cess." In 2003, $5,000 was raised by the firefighters. They are making this their goal this year. Because of the boot drive, they are over halfway there.

With all the instances on tolerance these days, people are getting more and more edgy about offending some person or group and ending up being sued. But what, about the danger of offending God? *^: Missionaries are routinely attacked for offending the culture and tradi- i nons of native peoples. Sometimes compromises are made to avoid conflict : and the result is worship that is a mixture of Christianity and paganism. Not .surpnsingly, it satisfies.no one! :: How could it,.be'otherwise? If it is true that a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and cannot receive anything from the Lord (James ."1:6-8). how stable and blessed can an institution be that is double-minded? Dictators are increasingly alarmed as the proportion grows within their 'borders of people whose first allegiance is to God rather than to the state. S Reaction .has often been to blame Christians for every failed program of 'every totalitarian government. Nothing new here. Nero blamed Christians or the burning of Rome! The important thing to remember is this: our real danger is notthat we :w ill offend the \world. but that, by compromise or otherwise, we will offend "God. This is a special danger in the Church itself. Our worship of God must .be "-in spirit and in truth (John 4:24) lest we come under the same judgment :.as ancient Israel when the Lord said, "I despise your feast days,." When we offer cheap grace and an easy "believism" to people, we demean the gospel. When we offer membership and baptism to people but Sdo not-require repentance, we offend them. Worst of all, is calling on peo- ple to pay the cost of following Christ and then fail to pay that cost our- selves. This, too, is an offense to God. j ?1'' F "Brave Believers" will be the theme for Vacation Bible School next week at Limestone Baptist Church.

In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of mankind. Job 12:7-10 (NIV) FRIDAY Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God,. that ye believe on Him who He hath sent ... I am the bread of life; he that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. John 6:29, 35 (KJV) SATURDAY The humble shall see their God at work for them. No wonder they will be so glad. All who seek for God shall live in joy. For Jehovah hears the cries of His needy ones and does not look the other way. Psalm 69: 32-33 (TLB) SUNDAY And without faith it is impossible to please God. The man who approaches God must have faith in two things; first, that God' exists, and secondly, that it is worth a man's while to try to find God. Hebrews 11:6 (PME) MONDAY. This is what the Lord says, Who made you, Who formed you in your mother's body, Who will help you ... "I am the beginning and the end. I am the only God." Isaiah 44:2,6 (NCV) TUESDAY Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and to love the parent (God) means to love His child. I John 5:1 (NEB) WEDNESDAY If you want favor with both God and man; and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lordcom- pletely; don't ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

Now you can, by taking advan- tage of the Hardee County Health Department's new fitness trail and its newly formed walking club. The walking club held its first meeting Tuesday, July 12, at the fitness trail. The club will meet the second Tuesday of every month from 6 to 7 p.m. Each meeting will involve a complete workout, beginning with stretching and warm-up and fol- lowed by a 30-minute walk and cool-down. There will be guest speakers to discuss issues relating to health and well-being. Membership is free and participation will provide people with "The information, motivation and opportunity" to pursue and SENIOR SCHOLARS meet their fitness goals. The walking club was started by the Health Department's diabetes control program. Erin Hess, chron- ic disease educator for the Health Department will be in charge of the club. She will be on hand at the meetings to answer any questions and show people how to use the equipment of the fitness trail. Hess says she has seen a definite increase of interest in the trail since its June 16 grand opening. At the grand opening she collected 15-20 names of people interested in the club. She mailed out information to them and feels "it's a great start." Hess also hopes that this walking club will be one of many. For instance, a church group may be interested in walking together, but on a different day, or maybe a group of new moms. She hopes to see all kinds of people walking and starting their own "walking clubs." "I want Hardee County to take hold of the trail, make it their own and do what works for them," Hess commented. Trail walks are extremely benefi- cial to a person's health. They increase exposure to fresh air, pro- vide proper exercise for the heart and reduce daily stresses.. ejpt By Carolyn Hendry Wyatt I "" Extension Agent "IT'S SUMMER DRINK YOUR WATER!" With these hot and humid days of summer, it's more important than ever to drink lots of water. Whether you are lounging poolside, playing ten- nis or simply watching TV at home, it is essential to consume plenty of flu- ids during summer heat waves. On average, an adult's body weight is made up of about 10 to 12 gal- lons of water (about 55 to 75 percent of body weight). But, when exposed to extremely high temperatures, your body requires even more water to; maintain its normal temperature. Since more than one half of an adult human body weight is water, we. need to make sure we are consuming adequate amounts of water everyday, regardless of our activity level. So, what does water do in the body? It converts our food into energy; it regulates our body temperature; it protects and cushions our vital organs; and it keeps us "regular," removing bodily wastes and aiding, digestion. You can live for weeks without food. You can only survive a few days without, water! The average adult loses about 2 1/2 quarts (about 10 cups) of water daily through perspiration, breathing and other body functions. When, w take in less fluid than we lose in urine, sweat, and feces our body becomes "dehydrated." A study showed one-third of healthy persons 65 years or older have mild dehydration! Low fluid intake or dehydration can cause; difficulty swallowing; dry mouth due to less saliva:production; headaches; fatigue; loss of appetite; dry eyes; muscle cramps; and urinary stone dis- ease. Extreme weakness and potential heatstroke may result if more than 10 percent of body weight is lost from dehydration or water loss. This condi- tion can be serious and'a person should seek medical attention. Don't let thirst be an indicator that you need water. By the time we are thirsty, our bodies are already in a mild state of dehydration. Start getting in the habit of drinking six to eight glasses of water throughout the day everyday to minimize the risk of dehydration before the sensation of thirst sets in. If you prefer a flavored beverage, milk and fruitjuice are good options that provide other nutrients, or try sports :drink. or decaffeinated beverages (caffeine can act as a diuretic, causing water loss). Alcoholic beverages also have a diuretic effect and promote water loss, so try alter- nating them with water or sparkling water at parties and social gatherings. However, the most important fluid to consume is % water. Water is calo- rie-free, sugar-free, fat-free, caffeine-free, sodiuni-free, and it can be almost cost-free. Of course, if you prefer bottled water, the cost for each eight- ounce serving goes up. While water and other beverages supply the body with a good portion of its fluid needs, water is also found in solid foods. Consider preparing your meals this summer with fresh fruits and vegetables, and remember that soups contain a lot of water. Remember that a healthy diet contains plenty of fluids. Pay special attention to the fluid needs of small children, senior adults and people who are very active. Overall, cool refreshing drinks can help lower your body's temperature. But remember, it's harder, to cool down in hot, humid weather because perspiration does not evaporate as quickly as it does in hot, dry weather. So, stay healthy this summer, and drink lots of water!

CorNjnuE EArT TO NURSEAv ENTRANCE ON RID OPEN ACCESS: SAME DAY, NEXT DAY APPOINTMENT SYSTEM In an effort to improve service to you, we are beginning a new appointment system. The system is called OPEN ACCESS. It lets you make your appointment the day you need it or no. later than the next day. These changes are coming to the Hardee County Health Department beginning Monday, August 1, 2005. All clinical services except dental, maternity and x-ray clinics will begin an Open Access appointment system. 30% to 50% of the appointments will be opened each day. Open Access is not the same thing as walk-in appointments. Clients will be instructed to call in as early as possible after 7:00 a.m. to schedule an appointment for that day. This should eliminate the need for double booking and reduce the no show rate. We are asking that our clients be patient with us during our "growing" phase of beginning this new system. For more information, call Sandy Griffin, R.N. at 773-4161 x 142. 7:14- I:4 Valk Just 30 minutes of physical activ- ity per day can reduce a person's risk of becoming obese and devel- oping heart disease, diabetes or colon cancer. Regular exercise can also relieve arthritis pain and feel- ings of depression. Hess says people have especially been using the trail' in the mornings and evenings when it isn't quite so hot, but it can be used anytime.'" According to Hess, mall walking' was once the trend, but people have begun moving outside. The trail begins and ends at the Health Department's front entrance. The paved half-mile loop has 10 VitaCourse 2000 fitness sta- tions that work on improving mus- cle tone, flexibility, balance and stamina. It was funded by the Gulfstream- Environmental and Recreational Trust program and also the state qf' Florida Health Department of' Chronic Disease Health Promotion; Hess is currently working on a grant that would enable them to. make improvements to the trail. She would like to add'benches, a counter, trash receptacles and land:, scape the area. If they receive the' grant, expect to see improvements made to the trail by next summer. ., Stephanie Cobb and Lara Contreras are this year's recipients of the Sam Walton Community Scholarship. They graduated recently with the class of 2005 from Hardee Senior High. Lara (upper photo) will be attending the SUniversity of Central Florida pursuing a degree in digital media-graphic design. In high school, she was involved in the Key Club, National Honor Society, Envirothon and the academic team. Stephanie (lower photo) will be attend- ing South Florida Community College, planning to major in health professions. Stephanie played varsity softball and var- sity volleyball and was .involved in Student Council. Both will begin classes in the fall. July 14, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 5B MENNONITE TRAILER DAMAGED ]L9& PHOTO BY JIM KELLY High winds Saturday blew some pine tree limbs on a travel trailer owned by Justin and Krista Stoltzsus.'The young newlyweds, from Manitoba, Canada, are living a year in Hardee County at the Northside Baptist Church property in Wauchula. They are helping Hardee County recover from last summer's hurricanes. Pastor Jimmy Morse, shown in photo in front of trailer, said insur- ance is not enough and has asked for donations to, help out the young couple, who are among 38 Mennonites this week who are helping Hardee hurricane victims. Five branches fell on the trailer, punching holes in the roof and breaking a window. Rev. Morse also said the Mennonites can use donations of paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, paper plates, silverware, gas cards and Gatorade. The Mennonites are staying and eating meals at the Northside Baptist Church at 912 N. 8th Ave., Wauchula.

HARDEE LIVING DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT 5 PM. % Mosaic Closes Majors All-Stars Beat Lakeland Kingsford Mine By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate How many Hardee County employees affected by the closing of a Mosaic mine is not yet known. A press release from the Mosaic Company, which was formed last year from the merger of IMC Phosphates and Cargill Fertilizer Inc., said Monday that the Kingsford mine will end 40.years of operation by Sept. 12 as phos- phate ores at that location are depleted. The mine closure will eliminate about 275 jobs, although some will be retained for a few months to complete post-mining shutdown activities and reclaiming land in the mined out areas at the Kingsford mine. Mosaic's fertilizer facilities will continue in operations with phos- phate rock from other mines in Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk and Hardee counties. The Wingate Creek mine off SR 64, Fort Green, South Fort Meade and Four Corners mines will absorb as many of the Union #35 workers as openings come up, said Diana Youmans, public relations manager at the Mulberry-based company. Mosaic is one of the world's leading producers and marketers of concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients. It also supplies phosphate, potash, nitrogen fertiliz- ers and feed ingredients for the global agriculture industry. Telling The Truth... By J. Adam Shanks Preacher THE BOOK Just recently, my dad, who lives in Alabama, sent me three boxes of old books that he had. My wife and I tend to collect books; it is our downfall! Most of the books are religious in nature. There are books explaining the themes and theology of different books of the Bible. There are books that speak of different Biblical subjects like the end of time and the parables. There are-books that were written specifically for preachers and included sermon helps, sermon illustrations, and guidebooks'and self-help books on how to deliver a powerful sermon. The thing that I enjoyed about unpacking these books is one book in particular. As I \ as digging through these boxes. I came upon a box. In this box was a book that \ as protected and taken care of. Upon opening this box, I saw that it was a Bible. I wish that more Christians "ere like this today. NMy dad, while packing up these books.,was careful to protect the Bible. This w-as probably because' he knows that this is not just some book. Sure, it is a bundle of pages that are tied or glued together between two covers. Physically, it is just a book. But the words in it make it THE BOOK! The words found on those pages of the Bible are powerful IRomans 1:161 and sharp (Hebrews 4:12). The \words on those pages were iot written by.men's inspiration, but by God's guidance 12 Peter 1:19-21). All Scriptures are profitable (2 Timothy 3:16). Just listen to 2 Thessalonians 2:13: "For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which \ou heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as its is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who Believee" We need to be like my dad and like these people who lived in Thessalonians. These people treated the \word of God 'ith respect. They 'didn't leave their Bible siting in their trucks or car dashboards. They didn't lea' e their Bible on the shelf untouched. Taheadidn't leave their Bible on the -pe\ at church because theN knew -that would be thenext place they needed They used their Bible because it "effectively works in you who believe." If you believe the word of God, use it and let it be effective; If you do not believe the word of God, give me a call at 773-5033 and I. ill let you kno\'w wh, you should. The w ord of God is an incredible work, greater than an\ other on this earth. It is the words of our Creator. It is the love of our Redeemer. As Jesus sa s multiple times in the Revelation. "To him who has an ear, let him hear!" I'm Telling the Truth' J. -dam Shanks is minister of the Church of Clhrist in Wauchula. He can be S-malled at wealreii'e@'eartlilhnk.nelt '.

Coaches Brian Knight, Van Crawford, Jamie Fones and Todd Bolin had their players ready as they competed against some of Polk County's best Little League squads. On the Hardee All-Stars were Murrell Winter and Taylor Barlow of the Chapman Fruit Athletics; Malik Tatis of the Nicholson Supply Reds; Jacob Mayer and Wiitz Terrell of the Countryside Growers Devil Rays; Jacob Altman of the All Creatures Animal Hospital Yankees; and a half dozen from the season-winning Joe L. Davis Braves. Vince Grimsley, Dawson Crawford, Justin Knight, Justin Fones, Lincoln Saunders and Kalan Royal were among the 11- and 12-year-olds on the Majors All- Stars. In the opening game on July 5, Hardee ran smack into the top team from Lake Wales, which won 17-2, combining hits, walks and errors for its four-inning victory. For Hardee, there were a pair of scores in a fourth-inning rally. Grimsley and Knight both drew Walks and scored on a Mayer dou- ble. Several Hardee Majors were stranded on the basepaths In the third inning, for instance, Crawford walked, moved to second on a Fones sacrifice bunt and stole third but was out on a pick-off play at third. Similarly Royal walked but was out on an attempted steal. In the final at-bat Terrell, Mayer and Crawford were left on the bases when the third out ended the game on the 10-run mercy rule. It was a better outing on July 7. when Hardee downed North Lakeland 4-2. North Lakeland got a first-inining tally on a combination of hits and walks and an error. Leadoff batter Ryan Gunderson was caught off third on a shortstop to third sacker thro\w, but Aaron Alderman, who had \walked, came home on an error on a fielder's choice. Hardee answered .back immedi- ately. Tatis led off with a single to left field and advanced to third on an outfielder's error and \ ild pitch. A Knight sacrifice ground-out brought Tatis in. , North Lakeland got its only other tally in the top of the second inning on a pair of errors sandwiched around a passed ball. For Hardee. Crawford singled to right field, was pushed along by walks to Fones and Winter but caught trying to come home. North Lakeland stranded runners in the third, fourth and fifth innings, but went down in order the - AIM" 5~- ii Inside Out By Chip Ballard ent V WHAT'S THIS WORLD COMING TO? ent n .Whhat's this world coming to?

I~ l Thursday, July 14, 2005 Local Girl Places 2nd In State By LAUREN RAULERSON For The Herald-Advocate Sixteen year old Chelsee Watson is on her way to the top. Her next stop ... the National High School Rodeo Finals. After winning reserve champion of the Florida High School Rodeo Association in the barrel racing competition, she advances to Nationals in Gillette, Wyo. From July 18th-24th Chelsee will be competing in the world's largest iodeo in hopes to be named the National High School Rodeo National Champion. Chelsee is the daughter of Kenny and Susan Watson and sister of Jenna Watson of Fort Green. She recently finished 10th grade at Hardee Senior High School. "I plan to be home schooled this upcoming year ,in order to pursue my barrel racing career," she says, when asked what her plans are for this next year. Throughout the year, high school barrel racers, like Chelsee, compete in an average of 18 High School rodeos. Points are earned in every barrel race. The top 15 barrel racers go to the State Finals in Brighton. Chelsee went. to Brighton. sitting second, State Finals consist of three intense days of one race each day. Chelsee won the first "go round" the first day she was there. All year, Chelsee had what she called, a "second day, second barrel, curse." At several rodeos she would hit the second barrel on the second day of competition. This curse was finally broken at the State Finals when she ran a 15.3, the fastest time of any- one the entire weekend, on her sec- ond day! However, her hat flew off, which disqualified her from the race, and kept her from winning state. The third day, Chelsee came, in fifth for the day, but held on to her second-place overall standing, making her the Reserve Champion of the Florida High School Rodeo Association. The top four runners from State, advance to Nationals. Chelsee is one of four from Florida competing in Wyoming this month. Chelsee is excited about attend- ing Nationals. She says, "It's rare for a Florida girl to go but West and win a rodeo, because the ground is harder and there is an altitude dif- ference. Although, my horse is from Colorado and has only been in Florida for about a year, I should have an advantage." After school, Chelsee rides and cares for her horses. She says, "my life is eat, sleep, breathe horses." Chelsee is gone almost every week- end to a rodeo, because Hardee County does not hold High School Rodeos. She has ridden horses since she was five and has found her passion in barrel racing. Chelsee, her mother, and her sis- ter, each barrel race. The'Watsons own. six horses and while Chelsee loves all of her horses, she only races one. She only considers one of the six her own; it's name is Flyer. "One Classy Flyer," also known as Flyer is an 11-year-old American quarter horse which she has had for about a year. Flyer has played a large role in- Chelsee's success, because like Chelsee said herself, "Behind every good rider is a good horse." She says a great barrel racer is a combination of a good horse and a good rider. Chelsee's role model, besides her parents, is Charmayne James, because she is 11-time barrel racing world champion. Chelsee plans to join the Woman's Professional Rodeo Association once she turns 18 which would make her a profes- sional barrel racer. She also hopes, to make it to the National Final Rodeo (NFR). Chelsee wants to get a'scholar- ship to join a rodeo team. She would like to go to college at Oklahoma State University, Colorado State University or Texas A&M since each has rodeo teams. Chelsee wants to get her license in equine chiropractics and mas- sage therapy in addition to being a professional barrel racer. Chelsee takes her horse to an equine chiro- practor and massage therapist monthly. After college, she will more than likely live out West because she says there are more opportunities out West than here. Chelsee says one of her main goals is to win, or do well, at Nationals. Since she is considered a sophomore, colleges are not really looking at her, but she wants to get her name out there and become known. Going to the largest rodeo in the world is expensive. Traveling, entry fees, and other costs become a major expense. Sponsors would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in sponsoring Chelsee, please call her at 773-4178. Holiday Limits Ladies League By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate The July Fourth holiday put a crimp in Women's Church Softball League games last week. With no games on Monday, the ladies only played on Thursday evening, the usual double-header., First Methodist continued its unde- feated streak with- a win over Christian Heritage and St. Michael's Catholic edged First Christian. Wauchula First Baptist and Bowling Green Baptist both had byes for the evening. In the Thursday early game, St. Michael's won 8-6 over First Christian. Sami Jo Morgan stroked a pair of doubles and a single, scoring three runs for St. Michael's. Wanda Stettler also had three hits and picked up a trio of RBIs. Leadoff batter Glenda Eures circled the bases twice, and Lori Dees, Virginia Jackson and Stettler each came home once. Melissa Albritton doubled and singled twice for a pair of RBIs for First Christian. Tara Bates was the only triple-tally batter. Loretta Starnes, and pickup players Christian Taylor and Joy Gilliard each added solo scores. The nightcap was a run-away for. talented First Methodist, which won 22-2. Elene Salas doubled twice for the Methodists. Debbie Gulliver had .four hits, including a triple, and Aimee Dellepere also tripled. Joy Gilliard and Crystal Gullivier each came around to cross home plate four times. Elene Salas, Dellepere and Debbie Gulliver were three- score batters. Mary Morgan and Jamie Salas added twin scores and Megan Smith added a run. For Christian Heritage, leadoff batters Vanessa Smith and Michelle Wiggins each put a score on the board. Mindy Chapman, Dana Shoffner, Whitney Smith, Jennifer Roberts, Donna Smith, Loretta Smith, Ann Talley and Jan Dillon each got on base but couldn't get all the way home. Talley was the only two-hit batter. Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath. MESSAGE CHANGED DAILY! 6 Call in DAILY fora short Bible message. 7:14c Golden Nuggets By Lorraine and John Gillespie Alpha & Omega Freedom Ministries of Wauchula So 'then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them. for this is the Lair and the Prophets. S-Alatthe\ 712.: Does anyone know the Golden Rule any more? We use to know it, even in the classrooms. Most people today have never heard of it. Yet, years ago it was quoted a great deal. Just think: How. would we feel if someone stole our bicycle, car, money, etc? I am sure it would make us angry and want to get even with whoever did that and yet some of us \w ill steal whenever we get a chance. Oneof the 10 commandments is "Do not steal" and yet there is a fight in our land to not display them. Had \we rather let people continue td steal our possessions? Deuteronomy 6:29 tells us'if we will keep His commandments all will go well with our children and us forever. What an awesome statement! Don't we want life to go well for us? Why are we so rebellious and want,to go our own way and "do our own thing" when God wants to bless us if we will only turn to Him. love Him. and obey Him. It is the same with our rebellious children and us. We. as parents want the best for our children, but if they choose to be rebellious and "do their own thing." we can't bless them. They stop the flow of blessings to them. We do the.same thing with God. SHow we treat others is how we will be treated. Be kind and forgiving to others and God will put it on people's hearts to be kind and forgiving to us. So a Golden Nugget would be to treat others, as you want to be treated.

This dog has nothing to do, no place to go, he's just basking in the hot sunshine. What a life! Now, when a squirrel runs by or the neighbor's dog barks, he'll be rested and ready to go. r. e Where do we go when we need rest and peace to S: store up energy for the next activity in our busy lives? 1 Sometimes we could use a nap in the warm sunshine. Perhaps there is another place to find rest. In Jeremiah 6:16 we read, "...ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." The place for us to discover the "good way" is God's house. Aren't we looking for "God's way"? Isn't it the best way to find the peace and rest that rejuvenates us? By walking with God in His house we find the rest for our soul that gives meaning and purpose to our next activity.

Farm Tales By C.J. Mouser INSECT EQUALITY It is a time of equality. Women are learning to drive big rigs and operate heavy machinery. Children, generally far from intellectual equals to adults, are teaching their parents how to use computers. As a society we have become more sensitive * to the differences in age, race, religion and sex. Men, who were always the.hard, tough as a nut, never-shed-a-tear types, are finding their softer sides, and beginning to admit to things that were unheard of 50 years ago. Like the fear of bugs. There are two men that are very close to me, who are prime examples that where it concerns modem man; the days of pretending are over. If con- fronted by insects, even seemingly harmless ones, it's not unusual to see either one of them freeze up like a Popsicle and go white with terror. My brother-in-law will happily handle a scorpion, has no qualms about stumbling around in the woods in the dead of night, but get him within three yards of a Praying Mantis and he'll scream like a little girl. He admits that he was once held captive in his own bathroom when a Praying Mantis had the audacity to fasten itself to the bathroom door, effectively barring his escape. He also claims that he once almost backed off a roof he was work- ing on, because he was being stalked by one of the long-legged, lime green 'walking sticks'. "I'll tell you what it is ... "he says, as a long shudder passes through him, "it's when they turn their head real slow and just look at you ... like they're sizin' you up. Well, it just gives me the creeps!" My father-in-law offers no explanations for why Grariddaddy-longlegs. give him the heebie-jeebies ... just a warning... "You put one of them danged things on me, and if I don't kill myself trying to get away from it, I'll kill you." Now, I'm sorry, but I find both the fear of Granddaddy-longlegs and Praying Mantis' to be hilarious. I mean, come on, they can't hurt you. But to either one of these guys, that doesn't matter, because just a glimpse of one of those critters will make them hurt themselves trying to get away. Now, just to be fair, I have a serious problem, with hairy caterpillars and both of my daughters will go into cardiac arrest at the sight of a water roach ... arid they can't hurt you, either. I suspect that these fears come from way back in our childhoods. From some early.confrontation.that ended in mild trauma, over the years feeds on itself until it becomes a phobia, but it sure is nice to know that we females are not the only ones with not entirely rational fears, and that men are will- ing to admit that some bugs are just downright creepy for no particularly good reason. So ladies, when your man's voice suddenly hits high C and you find him perched on the edge of the kitchen table begin' you to kill a spider, remember ... we're the ones that demanded equality.

Javier Servin has served as a mechanic in the U.S. Army for 15 years. His first tour of duty in Iraq was during the first Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm, from December 24, 1990 to May 8, 1991. While there he didn't see much close combat. It was all between tanks and infantry vehicles in the desert, he said. In his five month-long stay he lost three friends who were serving with him. And upon his return, he faced yet another difficulty, the death of his sister. Servin was deployed to. Iraq for the second time, May 7, 2003. Prior to this he was stationed in Germany. It took him a year to get his family from the United States to Germany. Soon after, he was called to Iraq. His wife was left alone with four children in a foreign country, worrying about her husband. He was in Iraq with the 1st Armored Division. He was only scheduled to be there for a year, but his stay was extended for three months. This greatly disappointed his family because they were already preparing for him to come home. Servin's wife tells of how planes that were flying troops back home got turned around in mid-air. His last time there he was sta- tioned in Baghdad and it was a lit- tle more intense. He actually got shot at and was required to do patrols on foot and in vehicle. He worked primarily as a mechanic ordering and repairing parts on military vehicles, so he was safer than most. However, he did encounter some dangerous situ- ations. He and his comrades faced mortars dropping every other night. They also had to stage roadblocks and worry about whether people would choose to stop or even' decide to shoot at them. Another difficult thing for him was when he was doing foot patrols and would go past a children's hos- pital. It would remind him of home and his children. Serving said oftentimes he was forced to get oy on four hours of sleep. The men have to sleep in all of their gear with their rifles beside them, ready at any time to wake up and go. At their arrival, his group had to take over buildings to be used as their center of operations. They secured a two-story conference center, which they called "Saddam's Auditorium," within a week. There they were able to have luxuries like showers, toilets and air conditioning that most didn't have. His group Lad three sectors they were responsible for patrolling and safeguarding. The area was much more urban and a part'of the med- ical district. Eventually, after the conflict died down, they had more time to relax. They got to get some extra sleep and were even able to watch a movie on someone's laptop. "Thankfully," he says, "No men I knew were lost during the second tour." He returned from Iraq last July. One of the first things his family did was get him a laptop so he would be able to e-mail them or use it however he wanted or when they have to be separated again. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Don't Know Where To Turn For Help? CALL THE CRISIS LINE 1 (800) 500-1119 Javier Servin, a mechanic in the Army, recently came home to Hardee County on leave. Mechanics work to replace an engine in a military vehicle. A caravan of camels lines the desert landscape. U.S. Army tanks file into Baghdad. *. q a a " 1 Since returning, he has moved from Germany to Texas. He will probably remain there for three to five years, where he works as the shop foreman of a recovery team. He plans to stay in the army for six more years and then retire. He isn't sure what he'll do after that. Servin's family moved here from Indiana when he was five or six. The son of Alfredo and Maria Servin, he graduated from Hardee High School in 1989. He has a large family that still resides here, including four brothers and one sis- ter. He joined the army immediately YOU Can Appear In ... Poet's after graduation. Servin chose to enlist because he wanted to travel and See more of the world. He completed his basic training at Fort Lewis,. Washington and his advanced individual training at Fort Knox, Kentucky. His first duty sta- tion was at Fort Riley, Kansas. His service has taken him around the world; other stations include Korea and Germany. Servin met his wife Sylvia before he went to Iraq the first time and he married her when he returned. They have four children: Magdelina, 15; Amadeo, 14; Barnave, 12: and Juan, 4. He had been home on a 10 day leave visiting his parents and fami- ly whom he hadn't seen in five years. He returned to Texas Friday, June 17. Place Are you a poet? Let us show it!

Dr. J.W. Lawrence, director of the Tri-County Health Department, has warned that diphtheria, small- pox, whooping cough and lockjaw, all serious diseases, are still to be feared and can be controlled only by the continued use of booster shots. According to Dr. Lawrence, if inoculations and vaccinations were discontinued, there would be epi- demics of these diseases again. . "We of .the Health Department advise all people to go to their fam- ily doctors and receive these inocu- lations or, if you so desire, they are available at your local Health Department," said Dr. Lawrence. "But no matter where you get them be sure to protect yourselves and your family by having the neces- sary vaccinations and inoculations. The time to do it is now!" The J.uvenile Guidance Commit- tee, at a meeting held -in the Wauchula Cafeteria Monday noon, passed a resolution requesting the city to enforce the curfew ordinance which is now on the city books. The group recommended that the bell on the First Baptist Church, with the permission of the church, be used as a signal of the curfew hour. The bell is to be sounded at 10 p.m. each evening, a signal for teen- agers and children to,be at home. A petition from the Negro citi- zens of Bowling Green, asking that * the present Negro school building in that community be left. at its pre- sent site to be used as a community center was voted down by a three to one vote by, the Hardee County School Board Friday. The petition requested that, in. view of the. (a-fct that the Negro schools of the county are to be con- solidated in Wauchula, the old building at Bowling Green would make a community center. The pre- sent plans of the board call for mov- ing the building to the new school site to be used as a cafeteria. bus from the station? If you did, you probably noticed the excess noise the fluorescent lights were making. But no more! The city electricians found out about it and have done a fine job ol silencing the noise. Didn't ask what caused it, just know that it has been fixed and thought John Q. Public ,vould like to know. After all, it's the upkeep of a city that determines its fitness in which to live and all these little things count. From the "New Hope Baptist Notes" column: . Upon statement that God was calling him into the ministry, the church licensed Arlis Grice to preach last Wednesday night at the regular church conference. Every- one enjoyed the inspiring message that he brought Sunday night. Arlis plans to enter school this fall. Pastor and Mrs. Otis Garland left by train from Avon Park on Tuesday for. New York where they will fly from Idlewild Airport on Thursday to London, England, to attend the Baptist World Congress. Their trip will extend through Europe, down into the Holy Land and Egypt, and they will return to Wauchula Aug. 19th. This "once-in-a-lifetime" voyage was made possible by contributions from their many friends in appreci- ation of the many years they have ministered to the spiritual, and oftentimes physical, needs here in the community.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross tells us "It is only when we understand that \ e have a limited time on earth and we have no way of knowing when our tinm is up that we begin to live life to the fullest as if it was the only one we had.' Dear Readers, to that I would add: live it up to the fullest! Quoting one of my favorite writers, 'Bob Perks, will lead into what ! will be warning you of this week. "One more thing about e-mail security. you won't get a gift card from any restaurant, Sears, Applebee's, Home Depot or 10 pounds of Hershey chocolate, a new laptop or anything else just for filling out a survey. You haven't won the lottery in some foreign country, applied and approved for a $402,000 home loan, actually been contacted by an agent for some guy killed overseas who now wants you, in Hoboken, to manage his millions. There are no magic pills to make you love life better, you can't buy real Viagra for 78 or legal copies of any soft- ware for $15. Now my warning of the week: Fortunately, judging from my own mail 'box, this scam may have run its course, but maybe not. Have you received an envelope, usually from Las Vegas, and some- times New York state, that states you may have won a large sum of money. anywhere from a few thousand to millions of dollars? Have you opened it with shaky hands, eager to find out how much you have won? I have, so admit it! We are all human and all eager to supplement our income, espe- cially--those of us who depend on Social.Security. Read it carefully Somewhere in the fine print, usually at the end some place after they have built your anticipation to a fever pitch so you'll skip over that fine print. Take care. You'll receive nothing for your money if you're foolish enough to send some money in. That's how the scammers make their money. So even though, like me, you'd like some extra money, Another thing I have been inundated with is offers to buy into club memberships. I can't tell you how much they want, as far as money is con cerned,-not can I tell you what they offer because if I open an envelope and it says something like highlanders or woodbridge club I throw it in thet trash.- . As Bob Perks says: nothing in this life is free. We have to earn every thing we spend, unless you have a sugar daddy, and if you're like me you don't have such a thing. If you don't know I enjoy Bob Perks' writings, I will close with anoth er quote: "Smiles, sun, rdin, laughter, children, flowers, food, music, friend ship, love, rainbows, the smell of a newborn baby, the warmth of a lover'.s touch, the gentle breeze that carries the scent of a fresh baked apple pie, the joy of giving, the thrill of winning, the lessons in losing, the success in ever. 'trying at all, a book, a sigh, a tear, a falling down and a rising up, a birth ,and a death, a beginning and an ending, a single star, a wish, a hope and a. prayer." With that I will close with my signature close as I have done for years Remember, God loves you, and you, and I do too. have a good week. 8C The Herald-Advocate, July 14, 2005 UP TO $12,000 4 FORgTHE EIR .Everone GetSthe2PI 0 81 We x.
