"Child Support Payments Late? S. .Column 7C 'Cats Continue Winning Ways .. ,. ... Story, The Herald-Advocate Hardee County's Hometown Coverage 105th Year, No. 40 3 Sections, Pages 32 dS'-epltem, e 5, 2005 $6.6 Million More Coming COURTESY PHOTOS Construction at the new K-8 school site north of Wauchula is on target for an August 2006 open- ing. Here, work is proceeding on the seventh- and eighth-grade buildings. For K-8 By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate The Hardee County School District is poised to receive $6.6 million in additional state funding to pay for completion of the new K- 8 school currently under construc- tion north of Wauchula. Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones delivered that word to the Hardee County School Board last Thursday night. "We have happy news," he began. "We have received the supplemental funding from the Special Facilities Committee." The committee, an arm of the Florida Department of Education, listens to requests from small school districts with construction School Construction needs and then ranks them in order -of priority, making its funding rec- ommendations to the full depart- ment. Jones explained that, now, the DOE should place the $6.6 million for Hardee County in its annual budget. All that will be left is for the Legislature to approve the DOE budget. So, he said, the Special Facility Construction Committee money is not in the local district's hands yet, "but in the 25-year history (of the committee), it has never not been funded." The Legislature had already approved $34.5 million for the school last year, but soaring con- struction costs following Hurricane Charley and unexpected expenses pushed the school's price way beyond the original estimate. Concrete and steel became far more costly, Fuel costs spiraled. Some sub-contractors withdrew their bids, while others lost their. businesses and were unable to per- form even if they had wanted to. Then came unanticipated ex- penses, such as $150,000 more for a turn lane on Keeton Road required by the Department of Transportation in addition to the; one already planned on U.S. 17, nearly $98,000 more to redesign the electrical system because - Progress Energy refused to provide two transformers instead of one,; See $6.6 MILLION 2A Park Facilities To Double The cafeteria, which will be shared by elementary and junior high students but In separated areas, is near completion. Food service heads got their first look inside the cafeteria last week. Finish work, equipment and children's voices are all that are missing. By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate Construction on Wauchula's new Oak Street Park will begin shortly. City Manager Rick Giroux briefly explained changes at the park behind the Senior Center on - Eighth Avenue during Monday evening's City Commission meet- ing. The commission approved the plan's adjustments and included them in the revised five-year capi- tal projects plan. They also approved the bid of $304,544.75 from Welch Tennis Courts Inc. for the work, which should start almost immediately. The urgency is to use a $200,000 Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant the city received just before - last year's hurricanes. The deadline to use it has been extended to May. At a meeting last week, a com- mittee revised the original bid spec- ifications, wanting more emphasis on completing the playground, a, championship tennis court and landscaping. A junior basketball court, tennis court sidewall and alu- minum railing and other items will be delayed until Phase 2 of the pro- ject. Another FRDAP $200,000 is being sought for these items plus drinking fountains, a flagpole, Which Properly By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate Property rights vs. neighbors' expectations went head-to-head last week. A rehearing on a rezone request resulted in a more positive decision for landowner and developer Jimmy Wohl during the zoning por- tion of the Hardee County Commission on Thursday. Commissioner Bobby Ray Smith summarized the issue. The pro- posed 260-plus acres off Parnell Road is two to three miles from Highland's County's Sun 'N Lake subdivision. "From Hardee's- per- spective, it's in the'~"niddle of nowhere, but from Highlands' it is close. People are taking 66 to Parnell to Old Town Creek to avoid U. S. 27 traffic. I'm for property rights, not saying what you can or can't do with your own property. Development is coming. I don't think we can do anything about it but steer it in the right direction."

She gave two weeks' notice, and will work until Friday, Sept. 23.; Tindell and Roberson make. up' the entire paid staff of Town Hall. Neither development was. announced to Town Council mem- bers as they met in regular session, Monday night. Roberson manned' Tindell's seat 'at the council table, while. Tindell sat in the audience and answered questions and offered information on various topics of discussion' Finally, at the end of the meeting, Council Chairman George Neel asked, "Why's Mary Jane not working?" "She's on administrative leave," Aker responded. "Why?" Neel pressed. Town attorney Gerald Buhr cau- tioned that the matter should not be discussed in the public forum. At that point, Tindell stood up from her seat in the audience and offered, "I have no idea why. Friday I was told due to a 'back- 'ground situation' and I don't have anything in my background." Councilman Roger Green com- mented that he had just understood the lawyer to say it could not be discussed at this time. But Buhr informed him that Tindell could "say whatever she wants." Tindell went on to note she also had been informed an interim town clerk was in place and that she was to turn in her keys to the town's files. "I believe I'm still in the position of town clerk and am responsible for it," she said. "I don't know what I'm dealing with.

Giroux also obtained an addi- tional $35,000 from the Recreation Council toward the Oak Street pro- ject. Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) funds of $80,000 will be used, with about $15,100 included in the annual budget to complete the immediate expenses and complete Phase I. "Heritage Park is a good start, but we want to add more parks in the city. Our plan is to beautify this park and add some nice features and amenities for the community to use and enjoy," concluded Giroux. Tbors filed suit to stop the farming activity. "It's a neighbor issue. The one significant factor is who came to what when. That's strictly legal- ly. The courts have always favored who came first. It won't stop the commissioners' phones from ring- ing off the hook." "Welcome to the American way," chuckled Commission Chairman Gordon Norris. "Agriculture is the right arm in Florida and normal agricultural practices should continue. What about buffers?" asked Bryant. Zoning Director Mike Cassidy said they were not required in F-R zon- ing because of its farm connotation. If it was Town Center or more dense zoning, buffers would be required. The county's Land Use Code 7.03.00, which addresses rezoning, says that once it is determined the rezone is consistent with the coun- ty's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the county has to show that the refusal to rezone is not arbi- trary, discriminatory or unreason- able. Smith made a motion to rescind the July 14 denial of the rezone application. "The regulations are in place to allow farming. Any -landowner does not want to be told what he can or can't do with his property. I make a motion we approve it." On a recall vote, it passed 4-1, with Commissioner Nick Timmer- ,man dissenting. He had previously :said he considered it spot zoning 'too far out from residential areas in and around the county's municipal- ities. In a similar matter, Bryant ques- tioned the recent proliferation of .minor subdivision plats. "Two or three of them on the same road could affect road use and be an expense to the county." Two of the three requests of Robert Sr. and Robin Abbott involve properties on Kelsey Road and public road frontage along SR 62. The Grove subdivision has sev-. eral parcels and Three Oaks has four parcels. Another request by the Abbotts entitled Paradise by the Lake has parcels along Ollie Roberts Road near the county's Hardee Lakes Park. Bryant asked that the commis- sion hold a workshop in the near future, to address land development codes allowing the smaller subdivi- sions in lieu of a major subdivision request. S Kelly's Column By Jim Dale and Shirley Turner recently brought by the 1940 appointment book of Dr. Allen Poucher. They bought the Poucher home at 2244 Hwy. 64 East of Zolfo Springs near New Hope Baptist Church. The Turners are missionaries out of Westwood Missionary Baptist Church 'in Winter Haven and will join the Latin America Missionary 'Support Team going to Costa Rica in November. Former Wauchula resident Earl Rutland lives in Costa Rica. Dr. Poucher was a busy man. He had appointments six days a week. He :booked patients every 30. minutes, beginning at 8:30 a.m. until sometimes 'late in the afternoon or early evening, seeing up to 20 patients a day. J Office visits were $1 and up to $5.. One was for 50 cents. I imagine some of his work was donated. $2, $3 and $5 were common charges. His appointment book included some blank counter checks on Wauchula State Bank. In 1940 the bank touted Wauchula as South Florida's Market Center, the World's Largest Winter Cash Vegetable Market. One check-touted Wauchula as Where Florida's Skyways Meet. The air routes were Jacksonville to Fort Myers to Key West, Pensacola to Palm Beach, Tallahassee to Miami and St. Petersburg to Fort Pierce. All the lanes *crossed over WauchulaI Dr. Allen A.

Wauchula Man Badly Injured By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate A Sunday morning accident has left a Wauchula man in critical con- dition: According to Wauchula Police Department records, Bruce Dwight Pelham, 24, of 1445 Cypress St., Wauchula, was driving his 1999 Yamaha motorcycle .north on Florida AVenue near Peace Drive abqut 11 a.m., at a, high rate of speed. Witnesses reported he lost con- trol of the handlebars and struck the east curb. The motorcycle skidded on its side until it entered a yard and struck a free, throwing the dri- ver about 127 feet. He was treated at the scene by Hardee County Fire-Rescue and then air-lifted to - Tampa General Hospital in critical condition. Florida Highway Patrol Cpl. Barry Crews, assisting in the inves- tigation, estimated the motorcycle's speed at 80 mph. Wauchula Ofc, Gabe Garza did not issue any cita- tions pending further investigation.

The list goes on. The state's Special Facility Con- struction Committee met in Tallahassee on Aug. 17. It was not approached by any new school dis- tricts, but by three that already had been awarded money, money that would no longer cover their costs. All were requesting additional funds. SHardee's request was ranked the committee's top priority.' Jones said when deliberations were complete, the committee had recommended $6,624,563 for Hardee County,. fully funding what the local team requested. Glades got half what it had asked for, . receiving $1,686,636. Flagler County got nothing. Deputy' Superintendent Rocky Kitchens said a friend in the Department of Education said it was noted Hardee County gave "the best presentation by far and showed the greatest need." Jones said the added money will allow the district "to add some things back" into the school plan.' For instance, he said covered play areas were nixed in an effort to save cash. Lesser quality items were chosen to bring about a savings, too. "Now,", he told the board, "we can put them back in," With the original $34.5 from the state and the supplemental $6.6 million, the total cost for the new school comes in at around $41.1 million. Of that figure, Hardee County taxpayers are providing just $7.2 million, taken from capital outlay, funds over three years. The new school will be paid for before iHardee Senior High-the last school constructed by the district- The Hardee Wildcats have pocketed another pair of victories as the stars of today start their own record. Most of them were not on the team which went 10-0 for three consecutive seasons, but are willing to keep up the tradition with a new win streak of their own. Hardee beat 2004 1A champion Fort Meade on a fun-filled night offi- cially re-opening Wildcat .Stadium with fireworks and music. The Cats also stole the show from 5A Port Charlotte last Friday night although the Pirates had a few moments of achievement in the fourth quarter. With a 4-0 record, counting the pre-season shutout of Lake Region, the Cats have moved into sixth place on the Florida Sports Writers Association state 3A poll. Incidentally, the Sept. 12 issue of Sports Illustrated had a nice article on Hardee High, where "coaches went from passing out playbooks to pass- ing out meals," after Category 4 Hurricane Charley. The team returned to their first home game in a victory over rival Fort Meade High, noted the magazine article. Three varsity cheerleaders are on the cusp after getting nominated for the prestigious Universal Cheerleading Association travel team which teaches cheerleading around the world. Rebecca Durrance, Amanda Maldonado and Vaillajon Louisjeune were selected after outstanding per- formances at this summer's UCA camp at Stetson University in Deland. JV football players finally got on the field last week in one of only two home games this season. They showed they were green in a variety of turnovers and penalties in a 10-6 loss, which should be cleared up for tonight's game at DeSoto. Hardee Junior High football also had a bye to start the Heartland Conference season. The young Wildcats host Avon Park on Tuesday evening, and greet Frostproof on Sept. 27. Game time is 5:30 p.m. Come out and see the future high school Wildcats and their cheerleaders.

Check with the individual football or cheerleading coaches of the Midgets, PeeWee Orange or Blue, and Mitey Mite Orange and Blue squads for where their teams are playing each weekend. Rosters .for all these youngsters are elsewhere in this issue. Hardee volleyball has gotten over the hump. Both the varsity and junior varsity girls-won both their matches last week.. The varsity also beat Bartow in its gym on Monday night 3-1 although details were not available at press time. Boys golf got a huge win over Avon Park at its course last week. .Included in the 160-172 win were Justin Painter, Ben Krause, Kaleb Saunders, Benton McClenithan, Jake Lowe and Jake Crews. Hardee girls golf had its only match last week cancelled because of the weather. -I Cross country is finally under way. The Hardee squads started at a huge University of South Florida Invitational on Saturday, with the local-runners gaining from the experience ofjoining with several hundred others.

At Monday's meeting, the Wauchula City Commission heard a presentation on the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Agreement possibilities.

With that, paralegal Dawn Atkinson Jones of the Patarini & Fritz law firm in Wauchula, stood and photographed Tindell as she handed Neel the keys. Aker then told Tindell she would meet with her at 10 a.m. the next morning to discuss the suspension, and the meeting ended. That Tuesday session did not occur, however, as attorneys Buhr and Joseph Fritz were not able to attend. The meeting between Aker and Tindell will be rescheduled. Meanwhile, Tindell is receiving pay for her $14.42 an hour job with the town. Acting as interim clerk is Charles Lairsey, of Lairsey Consulting Services in Sebring and an associate of Preston Colby, a grants writer for the town. Also Tuesday, the town submit- ted a newspaper advertisement seeking a new town clerk. Asked why the town was advertising for a, replacement while Tindell was still officially listed as on administra- tive leave, Aker answered, "I really don't know."' Later Tuesday she added, "With things the way they are, Mr. Lairsey doesn't wish to continue very long, so we put an ad in the paper and we can start the back- 'ground check (on an applicant). Before it is finished, we will have a final decision on Mary Jane." No ad was placed yet for a replacement for Roberson, who said ,she quit after "a lot of soul searching and prayer." She leaves the job she held for 12 years to take a bookkeeping 'position in' Wauchula. Tindell on Tuesday remained at a loss. "I have not been informed ver- bally or in writing why I have been put. on administrative leave, only that I'm on administrative leave with pay." She said she hired Joseph Fritz to represent her. Aker said Tuesday afternoon that a criminal background check of . Tindell, completed before she was hired, came back fine. In an interview of the two candi- dates for the job bN to % n attorney Buhr, Tindell was ranked number Sone. Tindell began work, Aker said, as the 'full background-check into her education and employment history remained to be completed.. "I called her at approximately a' quarter to 7 and told her not to come in to work. I had received her background check, and I had some concerns." Aker said. She said she called South Florida Community College to check on Tindell's associate of arts degree, which the college confirmed. She said she had tried "more than once," but could not reach any of the references on Tindell's applica- tion. Further. she said, the man who 3 Schools Get Cash Rewards From- State By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate Remember the days when some kids got a dollar for each A on their report cards? Or maybe 50 cents for an improved letter grade? Well, nowadays schools get report cards, too. They also get monetary rewards. Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones told the Hardee County School Board last Thursday night that three local schools will receive money from the state under the A- Plus School Recognition Program. The program rewards schools that have earned an A grade from the state and those that have improved by at least one letter grade from the previous year's mark. Those schools receive $100 per enrolled student. This year, the cash goes to North Wauchula Elementary School. Wauchula Elementary School and Hardee Senior High School. Jones said North Wauchula, which: maintained its previous A, will get .$65,229. Wauchula Elementary will receive $66,759 for going up to an A. And the senior high, which improved from a D to a C, % ill get $120,998. , State law says the funds can be used for faculty and staff bonuses, 'educational equipment or materi- als, or for temporary personnel to. assist \he school in maintaining or improving student performance,, Each school's staff and School Advisory Committee members get to decide how to spend the money. If they don't make a determination by No%. I, state la% says the School, Recognition Funds must be distrib- uted equally to all teachers current- ly at the school. Schools often use the bulk of the money for bonuses and the remain- der for a school%\ ide project. Jones said he %\as pleased the three schools earned the reward, but felt all local schools were deserving. performed the background check could not confirm Tindell's educa- tion or full employment history. "He couldn't get any answers, either," the mayor said. Because of who did Tindell's background check a man she did not name and because that man also did the police administrator's background check, she considered getting another independent inves- tigation, Aker said. "There's an upset between the two offices," Aker said, referring to the town clerk's office and the police department. "The matters are intertwined," she said. She refused to elaborate. In discussions at previous Town Council meet- ings, however, the clerk's office* had said the police department was over budget and that the town could not afford raises for its officers, statements contested by lead officer David Scheid. Aker continued, "Because of the questions I was running into and actually her work ethics around here, I placed her on administrative leave." The mayor went on to explain, "She came in to reorganize the office and got halfway done and went off on another tangent. She had papers for a grant on the floor by her feet and when she got up a couple times, she stumbled on them." And, the mayor .said, "Two weeks ago I asked for copies on David Scheid's paperwork so each council member could have a copy before the hearing to hire him as chief, and it never got done." She'also said "a decision was made without a question of ,any- body else, just arbitrarily made the decision, and that's not the way things are done around here." Aker explained that she was refer- ring to Tindell "taking grant work from Preston Colby and giving it to the League of Florida Cities." Jane Long, director of human resources for Hardee County, said Tindell left the county's employ to take the job with Zolfo Springs. Long said'Tindell began working in a county office after Hurricane Charley, as part of a crew of tem- porary assistants. needed and pro- vided by Florida Labor Solutions. Tindell later was actually hired by the county, and became an official county employee on Jan. 3. She reported no problems with Tindell's employment, and said she would be eligible for rehiring. Tindell's personnel file with the county contains one letter of com- mendation, from the town of Zolfo Springs. It was written by Finance Director Roberson, and commends workers in the Office of Community Development for assisting the town in winning a hur- ricane recovery grant. Tindell was one of those named. Janet Gilliard, Tindell's supervi- sor in the Office of Community Development, said Tindell served as an executive assistant. "She' did anything I asked her ,to do," Gilliard said. "There were secre- tarial-type duties, she assisted me with the grant and she assisted me with the intake of client applica- tions." ABOUT ...

Sheriff Loran Cogburn and busi- ness manager Donna McCleskey asked the commission about sever- al changes in their budget. .Cogburn also said "off duty" officers providing security at local' events, such as at the Agri-Civic Center, need to be paid $25 per hour for a minimum of three hours for special events. They have been paid $20 per hour. The new rate is effective Oct. 1. Cogburn asked to carry over $60,000 from his 2004-05 budget for equipment which has been ordered and will hot be received until after the start of the new fiscal year Oct. 1. This includes in-car video cameras and back payments for security details at the Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer park on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue just south of the jail. Cogburn also asked to keep jail revenue. "Over the last eight years, we returned over $1 million at the end of the budget year. That's, more than our budget requests. In effect, we've operating on the same budget we did eight years ago." Cogburn said he needs to be on a four-year plan to come close to staying up with expenses. "1 tried to stay within the six percent increase you asked, but there are new offi- cers needed and salary increases to consider to make us competitive with the; departments arotiund us.

Well let's just say about 60-70 years ago, because things then weren't the same as today. Well, at least there were some things that were the same as they are today. I interviewed a man called Vicente Mondragpn. He's my grandfather and he has lived here since he was 25 years old. Now he is 75. I asked him what life was like when he was a teen. He came from Mexico and told me about what life was like in Mexico and in Florida. These are the questions that I asked him. Listen to the answers he gave me. He had very interesting answers to give me. Q: So, first of all why did you decide to come to Florida? A: I decided to come to Florida because in Mexico everybody wants to come to Florida and get a better paying job. We want to come here to earn more money. In Mexico you don't get paid as much as you do here. I didn't really know where I would go until I crossed the border. Then I decid- ed to go to Florida. When I got here at first I stayed inTampa, but then I decided to go live in Okeechobee. Q: What was your first impression? A: At first I didn't really like living here since things weren't the same as in Mexico. After a couple of years I started getting used to it and now I enjoy living here. OK, so you didn't go to school here in Florida, you went to school in Mexico. Can you tell me how schools were in Mexico? Well, schools in Mexico were very small and uncomfortable. We had to sit on blocks instead of in chairs because we didn't have enough money to buy or make any chairs. The rich schools didn't have any chairs like they do now. they had benches. This was the best it got. Plus there was no air condi- tioning anywhere, not even in rich schools, pure fresh air was what I called it. The teachers were very strict and didn't want us talking or doing any kind of commotion. If we did they had a kind of a ruler that they would use to slap our hands with. So you had to behave appropriately. Q: How did teens-act? Did they lress .. the same as they do today? A: Teens were different from today. They really didn't do drugs as they do C Looking' Back ) today. They also dressed with tighter clothes; they didn't wear those baggy pants that they wear today. Q: Where did you and your friends hang out? A: We used to hang out at a corner next to my house. It was rather close to all of my friends' houses. We all lived around each other., Q: How was Christmas? And what's your favorite Christmas memory? A: When my family and I celebrated Christmas we did what we call posadass." This is a gathering of the pueblo. We gath- ered up and went to people's houses. We went from door to door throughout the pueblo. Then we would sing to Jesus during. Sour journey. At every door we stopped at we would sing and the people would have food and pinatas for us. I really enjoyed Christmas. My favorite memory from Christmas is when I was about 11 years old and my mom gave me a really neat sweater with designs on it. I really liked it. Q: What kind of transportation did you have, like to go to school and to go to' work? A: I didn't'have any type of transporta- .tion to get to my school. I had to walk from place to place. Then at the age of 40 I1 got my first car. I clearly remember that it was a blue.beat-up car. But even like that 1 like it. Q: At what age did you have your first girlfriend? A: My first girlfriend: I had her when I was 22 years old. Before, I was to wrapped up in my work that I didn't have any time to date with anybody. Q: Did you ever have a special moment with your grandparents? A: Well, my grandparents were really nice folks and, every time that I went to ,-tbeir house,.1 enjoyed being with them and they enjoyed my company. Q: When you lived with your family, did you have to share a room? A: Actually we were a big family and we '! had to share a room. We were 10 brothers and my mom and dad. We all slept in the same room. We were real crowded. Can you imagine 12 people in the same room? Q: Did you go to church? A: Yes I went to the Catholic church. We had a very small room where the priest used to give Mass. Even if this place was real small a lot of people still went. Q: Before, did you leave the doors unlocked? A: Yes we did because there wasn't a lot of crime and therefore there was no need to take many prevention to much crime. Q: So, are you saying that there was- n't that much crime before? A: No there wasn't that much crime. Q: Was there Coca-Cola in your days? A: Yes Coca-Cola existed since a long time ago. Q: Did you have a favorite toy? A: Yes it was a stick car that my dad had built for me. I enjoyed this toy a lot since it was the best one that I had. Q: What activities did you do at school? A: At school there was only one activity that we did and this was play soccer and this was not sponsored by the school we ourselves had to sponsor it. Because the schools didn't have any money in order to be buying any times in order to sponsor a team. Schools were very poor. Any other activities that we did were sponsored only by the kids. - Teens Interview Elders comes from a class assignment given to ninth graders at Hardee Senior High.

By Carolyn Hendry Wyatt Extension Agent CLEAN HANDS SAVE LIVES Remember when you were a child and your mother 6 would remind you to wash your hands before you ate? Well, your mother's admonition may have helped save your life! According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had washing is the single most important act you can do to prevent getting sick and mak- ing others sick. The CDC estimates that 5,000 people die each year from food borne illness; 78 million become ill and between 79,000 and 96,000 die from hospital infections each year. A direct link to many of these deaths is poor hand washing. Your mothers was right hand washing could save your life! Hand washing is important for food safety, disease prevention and per- sonal health. Always. wash your hands before you eat and.after you use the bathroom, before, during and after preparing food, after handling animals or animal waste, after playing sports, after changing diapers, and anytime your hands are dirty. For best results, use warm water to moisten hands and then apply soap and rub hands together for 20 seconds before rinsing thor- oughly and then drying. Antibacterial hand cleaners also work well when hand washing is not convenient. However, nothing replaces the good prac- tice and good habit of properly washing your hands. The Clean Hands Coalition has proclaimed the week of September 18- 24, 2005, as "Clean Hands Week" nationwide. The goal of this campaign is to initiate grassroots education efforts to improve food safety and public health by making hand washing an integral part of the day. They assert the role of hand washing in America has been overlooked and undervalued. With the beginning of the flu season upon us, let's join them in this effort and do our part to promote good hygiene throughout our community. For further information, you may contact the Hardee County Extension Service at 773-2164, or you may visit the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/cleanhands.

JV Football Starts Slow By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate Hardee junior varsity football fell a few points short in its opener last week. After a storm-cancelled game on Aug. 25 and a bye week Sept. 1, the junior Cats finally got going with a home game last Thursday against the Avon Park junior Red Devils, who snatched a 10-6 victory. Today (Thursday), Hardee trav- els to DeSoto in another area rival- ry. Next Thursday's game is at Lake Placid. Then, it's Sept. 29 at Kissimmee Osceola, Oct. 6 home for Frostproof and Oct. 27 at Sebring. Hardee was obviously in its first game of the season last week. "We can't win with three or four fum- bles and two or three interceptions. Defensively, we played hard and stopped them several times," com- mented frustrated head coach Rod Smith after the game. It was a defensive battle, indeed. Avon Park got on the board in the first quarter with a safety, after cor- nering Hardee in the end zone. Hardee took a 6-2 lead in the sec- ond period. Sophomore quarter-' back Jordan Grimsley hit team- mates Frank Gross and Gerardo Villegas with long passes to set up the run for David Newcombe, who pushed his way into the end-zone. Penalties killed Hardee drives in' the second half. Defensively, Jason Jester, Tim Selph, Villegas and company did a good job. Early in the fourth quarter, Avon Park took advantage of a Wildcat fumble on its 11-yard line. Virgil Cooper, who was bedrock solid all over, the field, ran around the right corner' for the Red Devil touch- down and also went in for a two- point conversion, making it a 10-6 game. Despite their efforts, the junior Cats were unable to mount a counter-offensive, suffering two interceptions and several penalties to stop their attack. With exchanges of punts and fumble recoveries, Avon Park was able to run out the clock., School Tax Rate Lower For '05-06 By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate The Hardee County School Board has lowered its tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year. In a public hearing last Thursday night, board members approved final adoption of a nearly $81.5 million budget for 2005-06. They also gave the nod to a 7.923 millage rate. That amounts to about a 1-1/2 percent decrease in taxes for Hardee County property owners. The School Board is the only. local, taxing authority to lower taxes this' year. Freda's Foibles By Freda B. Douglas During my reading (I do a lot of reading!) I find little things that might be of interest to my readers. This week is no exception. I will paraphrase items in relation to persistence and persistence is something I know! Achieve and maintain a positive attitude. You become what you think about. Develop. define and act on clear goals. You might have to change directions, but .never quit. Unyielding determination. Don't dwell on the problem, concentrate on, the solution. You must have energy this means health on top of attitude. Persistence is a selfishness wanting to do it for yourself, Get support from others. There is nothing like an occasional "way to go0 ."... Keep a constant sense of humor. Good humor will create winning sit- uations., Believe in yourself. Believe in what you're doing. If you don't, no one else will. If you do, others will follow. Show pride. The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare to win. Create your own luck. Double good habits execute solid fundamentals. To get commitments, you must give commitments. Whatever you do, do it passionately. Live happy. Be happy. Make somebody else happy. You'll be much happier for doing that. And above all remember, God loves all His peo- ple, even you and me,. The numbers prompted no com- ment from the public and made for a hearing which lasted just minutes. The $81.5 million budget is up from the current $69.8 million, but includes state funding for the new K-8 school currently under con- struction north of Wauchula. It is on target for an August 2006 open- ing. The 7.923 millage rate is down from 2004-05's rate of 8.112.. There are four parts to the total millage rate. Broken down, the rate includes: Required Local Effort, which is an amount the state sets4lnd theqrjequires the district to levy in order to become eligible for a bonanza of state funding; Basic Discretionary, which can be assessed by the local board; Supplemental Discretionary, also set by the local board; and Capital Outlay, an amount used for capital projects. It was the state's part of the assessment, Required Local Effort, that actually decreased, from 5.409 in 2004-05 to 5.163. Local amounts for Basic Discretionary and Capital Outlay remained the same, at .510 and 2.0, respectively. But the .local board raised Supplemental Discretionary from 0.193 to 0.250. Capital outlay monies not com- mitted to the local portion of the K- 8 school's cost the bulk is being paid by' a state grant will go toward air conditioning the kitchen in the cafeteria at Hardee Senior High School, electrical work, floor- ing, roofing, asbestos abatement and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance measures. The thing that is incredible is life itself Why should we be here in this sun-illuminated uni- verse? Why should there be green earth under our feet? -Edwin Markham S.

Improving every match, the girls swept both Braden River and Heartland Christian last week. This week, they were at Bartow on Monday, hosted Palmetto on Tuesday and travel to DeSoto today (Thursday). Next week, there are home games Monday vs. Frostproof and Tuesday vs. 'Sebring, before a trip to Sarasota to face Booker on Thursday. Last week started with a Tuesday journey to Bradenton to face the newest high school, Braden River. Hardee varsity and junior varsity girls both won. For the varsity, it was a clean sweep. The Lady Cats won the first game 25-21, behind a half dozen service. points for junior Sarah Mahoney. Santresa Harris picked up five service points, with Bethany Lang and Heather McKinney getting four apiece. McKinney got the game-winner. Lauren Earl had seven and Jessica Coover four points for Braden River. In game two, Hardee ran several play sets, switching places in vari- ous set-ups, and winning 25-14. Mahoney got Hardee's first half dozen points and added three more later in the game. McKinney had six points and Micaela Hall four. Braden River answered with Megan Staats and Sarah Allen with four points apiece., Game three sealed Hardee's vic- tory, winning the game 25-18 for a three-set victory. For Hardee, Lang led with seven points, McKinney had five and Mahoney also had five, including the final four service points. Junior D. K. Davis was injured in the first game and sat out the rest, iffy for games later in the week. "We played pretty well. It was the best match we've played. We ran play sets and worked through them. It felt good after losing to Avon Park late last week," said coach Ken Leupold. Hardee was home on Thursday night for a visit for the Lady Crusaders of Heartland Christian. The final scores did not indicate the intensity of the games where there were several ties throughout. In game one, Mahoney started Hardee with three service points. Adrienne Gonnella answered with a trio for the Crusaders. McKinney - had several aces while running SHardeeup to a 7-3 advantage and Micaela Hall got twoi'iore. Then Marissa Hall added a pair, upping Hardee's lead to 11-6. Hardee kept its advantage for the rest of the game, with Mahoney serving for five consecutive points to put the game away. After changing sides, Heartland opened service, with Hardee :returning the ball to drop out of bounds off a Heartland player. Shortly, however, it :was a 2-2 game. Heartland fought to trail just 5-4, before Hardee began- to put some distance between the scores. At a slim 11-9 advantage, Mahoney hit an ace and went on to put Hardee up 15-10. Gonnella got it back to 15-12, before Hardee swept "behind McKinney and Micaela Hall for the win. Hall got the final 'five points. Game three was more of the same, 'except ',a determined Crusader squad took the early lead, ahead 6-3, before Hardee got going and swept in fropt behind the serv- ing of Jahna Davis, who picked up five quick points for the Lady Cats.

Jahna (Davis) did a good job playing for D. K. (Davis)," concluded Leupold. The junior varsity also defeated Braden River, losing the first game 27-25, but coming back to win 25- 10 and 15-12. Braden's Bre Doran had nine ser- vice points in leading her team past Hardee, despite seven service points from Gloria Solis. Each of the other junior Lady Cats added points In game two, Hardee got ahead early. Solis had the final 15 points in a strong service spree. For game three, points were evenly distrib- uted between nine Hardee'players.

"We played really well in the sec- ond game, worked as a team. The girls are excited at the win," com- mented coach Meredith Durastanti. Thursday night at home, it was also exciting, as the first game became a marathon before Hardee got the final two points to win 34- 32. Solis had nine service points for Hardbe, including its final four. Hardee came back for the sec- ond-game 25-23 win in the three- game sets the junior varsities play. Christie Davis topped Hardee with a half dozen service points in the second game, while Solis had the last seven points in the game three victory. "We missed a lot of serves tonight, but are improving in every game," concluded Durastanti. ~zzr'I, WORKING MAN'S STOP A new saloon opened up in Wauchula recently, dedicated to bringing some relaxation to the community. The Backbone Saloon serves draft beer, wine and wine coolers in a Southern atmosphere and, as the name implies, hopes to be a backbone for the community's working' man. The saloon is closed on Mondays, but is open for the rest of the week from 10 a.m. till closing, which is 1 a.m. On Sundays, it opens at 1 p.m. It is located at 3315 SR 64 W. in Wauchula. The bar is owned by Frank and Pamela Ison, and it has a background story as interesting as the establishment's name. The Isons met in January and the two were married. "I didn't have any ponies to offer as a wedding present, so I got her a saloon," said Frank Ison. There is theater-style popcorn available as well as a barbecue every month and, as a reminder, it is smoking friendly. The Backbone Saloon is the only bar between Avon Park and Bradenton, Ison said. "And it is so much more than a bar, it is a social gath- ering," he added. We would like to thank our patrons and our troops, and remember all of those that were devastated by the hurricane," the Isons said. WAY TO GO! Hardee Ranch Supply has been recognized as a 2004 Top Hand by Purina Mills.

In a little over three minutes in the fourth quarter the Pirates threat- ened with back-to-back touch- downs to close the gap to 21-14, but the Cats added another pair of scores to put the game out of reach. This week, the Wildcats will have to defend against the pass again, when they face the St. Petersburg Catholic Barons on their field. Junior quarterback Jock Sanders completed 12 of 25 pass- es for 281 yards and two touch- downs in the 48-21 loss to Tampa Jesuit last Friday. Junior Matt Denny was the recipient of a 70- yard TD pass and junior Jermaine McKenzie caught another for a 51- yard TD, Junior kicker Davis Rodriguez was perfect in hitting a trio of PATs. Hardee's junior quarterback Weston Palmer directed a mixed attack on the ground and in the air for the Wildcats' win. Palmer was 8-for-14 for 76 yards. Touchdowns were recorded by Chris Rich, Michael Carpenter and Palmer in the running game, Justin Woods through the air and Terry Redden on an interception run. Pablo Anselmo went four-of-five in PATs, losing one to a bad snap. Although a variety of backs toted the football, junior Rich came in for Offensive Player of the week hon- ors with a strong overall game. He had eight carries for 88 yards, including a TD run, two receptions for 15 yards and two punt returns for 28 yards. He could have been over the 200-yard mark, but a 55- yard punt return, 60-yard run and 20-yard reception were nullified by penalties. Others sharing the offensive load were senior Brad Gilliard with eight carries for 24 yards and a reception- for 15 more; junior Carpenter four carries for 33 yards and one TD; and sophomore Jimmy Cimeus with 16 carries for 80 yards, plus a 35-yarder called back.

He also put two of his kickoffs into the end zone. Scout team awards went to senior lineman Justin Altman and receiver/defensive back Art Briones. They both perfectly imi- tated opposition players during the week's practices. Defensive coordinator John Sharp had mixed feelings about his squad's play. "Two long passes accounted for their touchdowns. We held them to 122 yards passing, 89 of them were the two long pass- es, and allowed a net 38 yards on the ground," he said.

Jews For Jesus Program To Be Held In Zolfo Springs Jews for Jesus will present a pro- gram entitled "Christ in the Pass- over" at the First Baptist Church of Zolfo Springs on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 6 p.m. The speaker for this event will be Stanr Telchin, a Messianic Jew devoted to presenting Jesus Christ as the true Messiah. He was born in New York City, and, along with six- children, received a traditional Jewish educa- tion. In 1975, his daughter called him from Boston to tell him she believed Jesus is the Messiah. At this announcement, he set out to disprove the Messiahship of Jesus. Through this he discovered that Jesus is the Messiah. Since that time, he has been a pastor, a writer, and has appeared on most of the major Christian tele- vision and radio programs. Jews for Jesus is an international ministry based in San Francisco. Zolfo's Pastor Jack White invites all to come hear and see this pro- gram. The church is located at 401 Fourth St., E. For more information, call 735- 1200.

"We got a bit sloppy at the end, and began getting penalties. We're better than that. We need to learn how to finish off, stay focused. We shut down #27 (Kemoy Wood) who hurt us last year, allowing him only about 20 yards, but #41 (Gregory Mandile) had a 15-yard run and those TD catches," said Hardee head coach Derren Bryan. "They got their touchdowns late, within less than a five-minute span, but we were able to pound in anoth- er pair of touchdowns. There were four TDs in the last few minutes. We 'also had a lot of penalties that we have to fix. We put ourselves in that position. We have to be better. We had nearly 200 yards called back. It's early in the season, but we have to do a better job. I'm glad it happened, now we can work on that in practice and improve. "It was a good win. Anytime we can come.away with the win, it's good. They played us pretty tough at the end, but we hung on through the chaos and worked through it," concluded Bryan. The game began with a Port Charlotte possession, which lasted a half dozen plays before a punt. The teams exchanged punts twice. with Rich's 18-yard pickup putting the Cats well within Pirate territory.

Letter To Editor U.S. Government's Response To Gulf Coast Is Shameful Dear Editor, In watching the horrific events unfold in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama one cannot help but question the effectiveness of our government under this current administration. The blatant negligence or at the very least, exaggerated apathy cor. cerning the rescue efforts along the Gulf Coast have shed a very dis- paraging light on our ability to "protect and serve" the citizens of this country. The endless tentacles of red tape and personal incompetence have all been mentioned as possible causes for the complete failure of the gov- Cross Country Runs To USF A Successful Growing Business ~ FOR SALE - PATCHES-N-POCKETS Invest today in this well established boutique.

However, in her statements this. week, newly appointed Undersec-. retary of Public Affairs and Public Diplomacy Karne Hughes said that' our image across the world should' not be damaged due to our failure to respond, but instead to the rash' of looting that occurred directly after the storm's passing. What she clearly fails to recog- nize is that a few people stealing DVD's from the local Wal-Mart did not cause the deaths of an untold number of American citizens,. which is projected to be in the thou- sands. This administration's venomous network of unqualified, but highly connected appointees has quiit .decisively accomplished that task. Her statements reflect the adminis- tration's obvious ambivalence towards human dignity, but stead- fastness of protecting the highest moral political "ethic" of spin, spin, spin. What should have been a monu- mental humanitarian response has in fact, become the monumental shame of a nation. Daniel B. Nuccio, Wauchul: Need Help Getting Out Of An Abusive Situation?

Each new season reminds us that we can't hold onto time...we must give up one season and move on to the next. Fall arrives and vacations are over. School begins .. and reminds us that Wosip a. s u we are another year ... .- . older. How do we let go of one season and successfully move on to the next? Church worship and fellowship can help us experience,, and accept the change of "seasons" in our lives. We can 3- 61 share the joys and sorrows of life with others on the same journey: birth, youth, marriage, parenting, grand parenting, and growing old. With help, we can embrace each phase of our life and prepare for the next. The church can give us the support we need to weather each "season" with confidence and hope. "... be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage with great patience and careful instruction." (2 Timothy 4:2) God's wisdom can guide us through the "seasons" and help us be prepared. Worship at His house this week and share your journey with others.

Golden Nuggets By Lorraine and John Gillespie Alpha & Omega Freedom Ministries of Wauchula When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. Leave no room or foothold for the devil (give no opportunity to him). -fphesians 4:26-27 More Scriptures go with this that I must add; it seems the enemy of our souls is getting a foothold among the Christians. Vs. 29 goes on to say: Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk (eyer) comd out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace to those who hear it. Vs. 30: And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God (do not offend or vex or sadden Him), by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God's own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin. Vs. 31: Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clam- or, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous lan- guage) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will or baseness of nhy kind). Vs. 32: And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, ten- derhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you. A Golden Nugget would be to take these Scriptures to heart and ask God to make them real in us.

Hugh Bradley Hardee County Clerk Of Courts SEPARATION Over the past couple weeks, I have had a hard time prying my eyes away from the television screen, watching the latest news regarding Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath that the Gulf Coast has had to endure. Why do I continue to watch this great catastrophe unfold? Maybe I want do more, wishing I knew more t' o. Maybe I am hoping to see peo- ple I know so I can be assured that they are OK. No matter what the reason, one thing that has really touched my heart is the stories that come out of such catastrophes. We heard them after 9-11, after the tsunami in Asia, after the hurricanes last year that we endured, and now again in the devastation of Katrina. These stories are tales of sadness involving families that have been sep- arated. Just today, on NPR radio, I heard a young boy saying even though he is safe in Houston, he does not want to start school until he knows his family is OK. I saw a grown man ,cry on Oprah as he was guaranteed that his dog would be safely reunited with him if he would evacuate. Thousands of families have been split, separated, and lost. While hearing the choked-up voices and seeing the misery in the eyes of Katrina survivors concerning their separation from their loved ones, I started to think about my relationship with God. How would I feel if I were separated from my God, my Father? Would I weep like the families that I see in New Orleans? Would I search endlessly for him like families are doing for their'loved ones? Or would I,. Like many do in the world today, not even notice that something has changed between my God and me? Scripturally speaking, sin is the avenue that separates us from our God: The consequences of sin can separate me from my Father. It is never that my Father turns away from me. Notice in these verses, it 'is sin that is the dividing gulf between Him and me. "God is light and in Him is no darkness at all," John tells us in his first epistle (1:5). We are to understand that God is, by His very nature, unable to dwell with sin. This is the whole reason for the redemption process, the sacrifice of Christ, and the grace of God. This is the plan that God had from before the beginning, to offer grace so that we might be in a close relationship with Him again (Ephesians 3:8-13). Are you separated from your family,' the family of God? Have you noticed that for some reason He is not by:your side anymore? I will promise you, it is not because He walked away!

Unfortunately, he is not always prqmpi getting the money to me. Is there anything I can do to ensure that I get support payments on time? A: According to F.S. s. 61.13016, at the request of the custodial parent the Clerk of the Court may suspend a non-custodial parent's Florida driver's license when child support payments become delinquent. The Clerk's Office can'only request license suspension on Private Cases, DOR handles IV-E cases. For the custodial parent to qualify for this program he or she must have: 1. An order for child support in the State of Florida payable in your county; 2. He or she must not be under contract with the Department of Revenue;. 3. The non-custodial parent must be atleast 15 days delinquent; and 4. The non-custodial parent must have a valid Florida driver's license. The custodial parent must provide the following information regarding the non-custodial parent to the Clerk's office in order to perform this enforcement action: *Date of birth *Social security number *Last known address *A written request asking for the license to be suspended due to delin- quency. The Clerk's office will then send. a "NOtice of Intent to Suspend Driver's License" through the United States postal service to the non-custo- dial parent. Upon receiving the notice, the non-custodial parent has three options in order to avoid the license suspension: 1. Pay the delinquency in full. 2. Enter into a writen agreement for the repayment of the delinquency with the custodial parent. 3. File a "Notice to- Contest Driver's License Suspension: if there is a disagreement regarding the amount or if there is a claim of mistaken identi- ty. If the non-custodial parent does not respond and 20 days have passed from the date of the notice, the Clerk's office will mail a request to the Florida Department of Highw ay-Safet) and Motor Vehicles to suspend the non-custodial parent's driver's license. The license cannot be reinstated until the custodial and non-custodial parents enter into a written agreement or the delinquency, with applicable fees, is paid in full.

Stump The Swami By John Szeligo Well Football Fans, it is into week three we go. Many surprises have caught the eyes of fans at Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Florida, West Virginia and Florida State on the college level. On the professional scene, all three Florida teams have given fans hope for the long season. It has been awhile since the Dolphins, Jags and Bucs have won on the same day! "Cadillac" Williams looks like he will get good mileage for the Buccaneers. His 148 yards on 27 carries was impressive. He also scored his first touchdown as a Buccaneer. The Dolphins needed a good coach to turn them around. Nick Saban is the winner that the team was waiting on. Saban has always been a winner. In 1970, he led his Monongah High team to a West Virginia State champi- onship as the quarterback. His coaching career was successful at Michigan State. He won a National Championship at LSU., Where will he take the Dolphins? The Jags, behind the passing of Byron Leftwich and rushing of Fred Taylor, overcame Seattle at home. Next week, they travel to meet Mr. Manning and the Colts. This could be the playoff year that folks in Jax have been waiting for. The new Orleans Saints and the LSU Tigers both gave their belea- guered fans something to cheer for. Football can be a good diversion and folks in Louisiana need that right now. Now let's look at this week's Bill 0' Fare 1. Tennessee at Florida Gators have the Vols in the Swamp. UT did- n't look impressive against UAB at home. This is the year for UF to defend its house. Florida 35 UT 17. 2. West Virginia at Maryland West Virginia has the nation's top ranked defense. The Mountaineers give up a mere 128 yards a game.
