$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

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 -

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,

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."

Tindell's seat 'at the council table,

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

tions and using that amount to help
meet costs of the championship
court, which will allow high school
matches to be hosted on a profes-
sional standards court.
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.

Dr. Poucher was a busy man. He had appointments six days a week. He

'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

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.


On Tuesday, a Tampa General
Hospital spokesperson, indicated
Pelham was still in critical condi-
tion.

another $41,000 more because the
county is requiring a water meter
on the fire line, qver $58,000 more
to save environmentally-protected
turkey oaks on the site. 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

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.

Five Hardee youth football teams compete in Heartland League play
every Saturday, from here to Lake Placid, Fort Meade, Avon Park,
Frostproof or Sebring. 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. Cynthia
Briseno led the Hardee girls and Juan Carrera led the boys squad.

Hardee.swim teams are going strong. They are at Avon Park this week, but
come home Sept. 20 for a district match-up with always tough Lake Placid.
Come cheer the Cats and purchase home-baked goodies from their conces-
sion stand. The Hardee pool was renovated after hurricane damages and
more than 30 Cats practice there daily.
The swim squads seek community support. The teams are selling the
huge 62-inch Arc Golf Umbrella in a royal blue with orange Cat paw for.
,$30. Order them by calling the school's district office at 773-9058, ext. 208.
There is also a Swim-A-Thon this Saturday at the pool. Anyone can,
sponsor a swimmer with a donation or pledge for each 200 lengths a swim-.
mer completes.
They are also painting Cat Paws on faces during football home games.
Cost is only $1 to show your support for both swimming and football at the
same time.

Community Men's Softball League will get its games under way on
Sept. 26. There's no news yet on the co-ed league which usually plays when
the other leagues finish. The delay in the men's league playing was to allow
cement to be poured for new dugouts. For details on games, call Carl
Coleman at 773-3872.

Wauchula may borrow up to $45
million to expand its wastewater
and water plants.
At Monday's meeting, the
Wauchula City Commission heard
a presentation on the Clean Water
State Revolving Loan Agreement
possibilities. Mark Brewer of
Angie Brewer & Associates, the
city's consulting firm, gave a finan-
cial feasibility overview of what
the city could do. Various options
on the lengths, amounts and repay-
ment plans for loaning such funds
'were presented, allowing the city to
borrow up to $45 million for the
project.
The city recently was awarded,
$2.25 million in state disaster
recovery funding, which it will use
for engineering, design and plan-
ning to expand the city's sewer
capacity from one million to three
million gallons daily. That expan-
sion is necessary to service the cur-
rent city residents and several hous-'
ing and commercial projects
expected in the near future.
Estimates at how close the.city is
to its present capacity varied. Some
said 95 percent, some said 80 per-
cent, partially depending on the

tos taken of her doing so.
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."

Grove. he had lived in Oak Grove
all of his life. He was a member

Williams officiating. Burial was
in Oak Grove Cemetery. The
family received friends Sunday,


tomers come in before noon any-
way, and the rest can make the
adjustment, she said. The commis-
sion agreed. The change begins on
Saturday, Oct. 1.
However, on a holiday weekend,
Saturday would be a full. day
becauseof closing for the holiday,
she quickly added. The change will
save about $5,000 a year, Carver
said. '
The landfill has ground up so
.many tree sand limbs from the hur-
ricane delbrf that it has a huge sup-
ply of wood chips. For the, next
month, residents are invited to
come out and' get as many as they
want free.
There will be a. Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Day
on Sept. 24 from 8 a.m. until noon.
Residents are urged to help protect
the environment by bringing in
hazardous waste such as oil-based
paints, florescent bulbs and aerosol
cans for proper disposal.
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.
Highlands County just raised start-
ing deputies from $32,000 to
$36.000 a year and DeSoto is at
$31,000. We're at $29,000 and
need to go up at least $1,000."
He said he plans to add two nar-
cotic officers, three communication
officers, one transport officer and
two investigators. "We've created
another agricultural crimes position
and need two officers are needed in
Magnolia Manor and Wauchula
Hills.
Cogburn said he has been able to

TEENS INTERVIEW ELDERS



MY DAD MADE A STICK CAR;


IT WAS MY FAVORITE TOY/


By DIANA GRANADOS
Special To The Herald-Advocate
How was life a long time ago? 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. -

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.
Remember your -mothe sage advice and "wash those hands!"

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

Volleyball Has Winning Week


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Lady Wildcat volleyball got on
the winning road last week.
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.
Lang got five more and Hardee
went on to win 25-18.
"I thought that was the best team

"We played really well in the sec-

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-

a half dozen service points in the
second game, while Solis had the
last seven points in the game three

"We missed a lot of serves
tonight, but are improving in every

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.
It was selected from over 4,000 Purina Mills dealers nationwide that
were participating in the Purina Mills Cattle Drive sales promotion because
of the leadership it provides to cattle producers and for selling the most of
Purina's exclusive IM Technology cattle feed products.
Ronnie Durrance, manager of Hardee Ranch Supply, and the rest of the
staff were commended for providing 'counsel to customers, allowing them
to get optimal performance from their cattle and improve their profit poten-
tial, said Mike KIakoviak, director of U.S. Cattle Business for Purina Mills.

Cats Pop Pirates; Visit Barons Next


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats took the
game to the Port Charlotte Pirates
Friday night in a 34-14 win.
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. Juniors Chris Cook, Pierre
Lazarre, Jermaine King and Woods
shared turns catching the football.
Together, the offense combined for
309 yards, a little less than twice as
much as the Pirates.


Directions to Game
Take 17 to Bartow and go west on 98, at traffic light, continue west on
SR 60, all the way to the Crosstown Expressway in Brandon. Take
expressway to Gandy Blvd. exit. Turn right onto Gandy, heading
toward St. Petersburg. Look for 275 South. Take 22nd Avenue North
exit. Turn right on 22nd Avenue North to 58th Street North. Turn left
on 58th Street North. Turn right on Ninth Avenue North. School is at
6333 Ninth Ave. No., a couple blocks west of 58th Street North.


Junior kicker Anselmo took
Special Teams honors with his
four-for-five night on PATs. 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. Senior

Wednesday Musicale Supports Young Musicians


The Wauchula Wednesday
Musicale continues in its philan-
thropic endeavors as it contributes
to and encourages local young
musicians.
Each year the club presents a
scholarship to a graduating senior
from Hardee High School. After
auditioning before the club, this
year's winners were Shayla Bryan,
Mary Esther Flowers and Brianna
Widener.
The club collects contributions
for this scholarship at each meeting
and appreciates memorial dona-
tions, etc. throughout the year.
These contributions should be
mailed to: The Wednesday
Musicale Scholarship Fund, 306 N.
Sixth Ave., Wauchula. They are tax
deductible.
. Last year the club added another
scholarship for local music students
as they continue their musical pur-
suits. Pianist James Matthews was
one of the recipients, and has been
chosen once again to receive this
financial assistance as he travels to
Lakeland to study piano under
Robert McDonald, Artist in
Residence at Florida Southern
College.
Tax-deductible contributions for
this worthwhile cause may be
mailed to: Young Musicians
Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 248,
Wauchula 33873.
James is the son of James and
Vetosa Matthews of Wauchula and
was a student of the late Carlo Neal
who passed away last year. He feels
honored to be "adopted" by The
Wednesday Musicale and to have
been accepted by McDonald as a
student.
The 16-year-old began playing
the piano when he was three and
continues to practice diligently. He
is currently a junior at Hardee High
School.
Shayla, daughter of Tommy and
Brenda Bryan of New Zion,. is a
recent graduate of Hardee High
School and has just begun her first
year of study at Florida Southern in
Lakeland where she is majoring
music education.
She has been playing the flute
since the sixth grade, continued her
study as a band student through the
local school system and is a former
student of Kim Houser of Avon
Park. The 18-year-old joins her for-
mer teacher as a member of "Flute
Cocktail," a'flute quartet which
plays at area functions.
Both Shayla and James will pro-


vide the entertainment for the club's
annual banquet planned for
Saturday, Oct. 1, in the fellowship
hall of Faith Presbyterian Church.
Punch and time of fellowship will
begin at 6:30 p.m., with the meal
served at 7.


Musicale President Jan
says "Anyone interested in
ing needs to contact


Brutus

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.
Gardening requires lots of
water-most of it in the form of
perspiration.

Swimming Wildcats Make a Splash

After Hurricane Charley damaged Hardee High School's swimming pool, much of the
training equipment and gear was lost. The season was long and took its toll on-the
coaches and swimmers. The team traveled to Avon Park for practice as their pool was
unsafe.
With the 2005 swim season now underway in a completely remodeled pool there is a
strong enthusiasm for Wildcat Swimming. With more than 30 athletes hitting the lanes,
Hardee Swimming is again in the spotlight.
These athletes face tough rivals, attempt to break records, and need your help to succeed.
Come and cheer them on. With your support the swimmers will continue to bring
recognition to our school.

You can help support the team in several ways.
1. Beginning on September 16th, the swim team will bring back the very popular
but elusive 62" Arc Golf Umbrella. The Royal Blue umbrella displays a huge
orange Cat Paw to symbolize your Wildcat support. The umbrellas will be
available at home football games and swim meets. You may pre-order your
umbrella by calling the district office 773-9058 ext. 208; just leave your name,
phone number and the number of umbrellas you would like to purchase. The
cost of these huge and stunning umbrellas is only $30.

2. On September 17"the Swimming Wildcats will hold a grueling Swim-A-
Thon. You may sponsor a swimmer with a single donation or pledge per
length for the 200 lengths the swimmers must complete.

3., The Swimming Wildcats are painting Cat Paws on faces of fans at home
Football games. Be sure and show your support for the Wildcats by having a
Cat Paw on your face. The cost is only $1.

4. The Swim Team's moms run a concession stand at every home Swim Meet.
Come out and support the Swimming Wildcats and enjoy home baked goodies
as well as cold drinks and hot dogs.

5. Finally, come and cheer your Hardee High School Swimming Wildcats on to
victory. Crowds create the momentum and motivate the swimmers. Cheer the
Swimming Wildcats on to victory. The swimmers appreciate your support.
Go Wildcats!

iHA), United I am a servant. I do not have a life and agenda of my own. My daily
tof business is to please Another. In order to do this, I must pay close attention
, ".. so that I can hear even a whisper.
I have watched His more experienced servants for some time and have
observed several things about them: (1) Theydre always alert while others
r, HARDEE are vigilant only when "on duty." (2) They are focused while others are dis-

perty address: In our world, people struggle against each other and compete for high'
, Wauchula, FL position. In the great house where I work, the greatest is the least. Pride is
abhorred. Humility is studied and practiced like an art form, but it is not
t/ self-conscious because all of the servants have before them the great sacri-
fice of the King's Son. His continual life of service humbles us all.
IF ACTION In other belief systems, men aspire to secret knowledge, but in the
night, who Is not King's house, the new servants know as much as the ancient ones. There are

Irtgage on the fol- Sometimes the world tries to imitate this brotherhood of servants, but
property in Hardee such efforts eventually fail when men get choosy about who they will serve

and three balls batted down.
Johnny Ray Harris also had a
sack, and added a half dozen tack-
les. Briant Shumard, Jackson
Frenot, Andrew Cisneros, Garrett
Randall, Ramon Hernandez, Will
Krause and Carpenter also joined in
the tackle parade.
"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.
With more fits and starts inter-
spersed with penalties, Carpenter
finally pushed over for the score.
Anselmo's kick made it 28-14 with
2:40 left in the game.
Hardee stopped Port Charlotte on
a fourth-day try on its next series.
Cimeus got a couple of runs. Rich
went over the right side for a 36-
yard gain and then went the final
four yards for a score with seven
seconds left in the game. The kick
was wide left. Hardee won 34-14.

Boys Golf Bests Avon Park


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcat golf team
came home from Avon Park with a
victory last week.
Both girls and boys golf matches
were rained out on Thursday. The


girls match at Eagle Brook Course
against Lakeland George Jenkins
may not be rescheduled, but the
boys home match against Sebring
may.
This week, the girls were to host
Frostproof and Mulberry on


Tuesday and travel to Sebring
Municipal Course today
(Thursday) to face the Lady
Streaks. Next week, there is a trip
to Southern Dunes to play against
the new Ridge High on Monday
and another to Lake Wales Country
Club to face the Lady Highlanders
on Thursday.
For the boys, this week included


a trip to Vanguard on Tuesday and a
home match against Fort Meade
today (Thursday). The boys also
play Ridge High next Monday and
host Frostproof on Thursday.
In the only match last week,
Hardee boys beat Avon Park 160-
172. "We played very good for our
first match of the year. Hopefully,
we can keep it going," said Wildcat
coach George Heine.
Junior Justin Painter led the
Wildcats around the course, com-
ing in at 38, with one birdie.
Freshman Ben Krause finished at
39, "a great score for his first-ever
high school match," commented
Heine.
Sophomore Kaleb Saunders was
next in at 40, with one birdie along
the way. Senior Brenton
McClenithan closed in 43, soph
Jake.Lowe at 47 and freshman Jake
Crews at 57.


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-

On Saturday, the University of
South Florida had "in excess of 600
runners, over 370 of them in the
varsity division," reported Hardee
coach Don Trew.
He said a new leader has
emerged for the girls squad.
Cynthia Briseno led the Lady Cats
with a 28.01, good enough for
118th place: Following her in were
Mandy Cornelius at 29:10,
Maricela Galvan at 29:15,Christina
Badillo at 31:45, Blanca Ruiz at
32:04, Cindy Lobato at 32:47 and
Lucy Ruiz at 35:19.
For the Hardee boys, there were
only three runners available on
Saturday. Juan Carrera led the way,
at 20:57 to place 151st. He was fol-
lowed by Lee Cortez at 31:45 and
Juan Rodriguez at 33:48.


ernmental response to this unprece-
dented disaster.
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.

Our Changing Lives

The changing of
the seasons reminds
nus of the changes ".
that constantly
occur in our own
lives. 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.

Clerk's Office Offerings
By B. 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! I'm Telling the Truth!

Q: I have three small children, and I rely on child support front
their father to provide for them. 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.
Couple that with the fact WVU is the eighth-ranked rushing offense and
Maryland is Turtle Soup. WVU 27 Maryland 13.
3. Louisiana-Monroe at Georgia--- Hey, Bulldogs, you open with these
guys not play them third. Take a breather this week, Florida is coming up.
UGA 56 La-Monroe 10.
4. Alabama at South Carolina -' Spurrier almost got his first big win
at USC against Georgia. Look for him to pull it off this week. South
Carolina 31 Alabama 27." '
5. 5,.Pitt at Nebraska Have they opened "firedavewannstedt.com?" It
is coming soon to a computer near you. Ohio U 16 Pitt 10? This one could
get real ugly. Nebraska 44 Pitt 17.
6. Oregon State at Louisville Big East over the PAC 10. U of L 34
Oregon State 21.
7. UCF at USF Finally, the rivalry that needed to happen is being.
played. This could become a great series between 'two large schools along
1-4. USF 33 UCF 24. -
"8. Florida State at Boston College Seminoles have too much speed
for the slow Eagles. BC is out of its league, literally and figuratively. FSU
will have a clam bake.. FSU 41 BC 13. .
9., Miami at Clemson Charlie Whitehurst and the boys in Orange
will take the wind out of these Hurricanes. When has the "U ",started 0-2?
Cleimson 31 Miami 28.
10. Michigan State at Notre Dame Irish will give the Big 10 anoth- '
er bad day. ND33 MSU 21.
I11. Msissippi at Vanderbilt Commodores start the season 3-0! ,
Why not?. Vandy 27 Ole Miss 21.
12. Ball State at Auburn This is why AU has scheduled Washington ,
and West Virgiriia for 06, 07 and 08., This is the ugliest game of the day.
Auburn 66 Ball State 3.
13.. Mississippi at Tulane Tulane has been through so much from .
Katrina. Sorry Sylvester. but I have to side with the Green Wave. Tulane 24::
MSU 21.
14. Rice at Texas-- Can CUSApull off another big win like SMU over'
TCU? No. Texas 65 Rice 13.
15. Arkansas at Southern Cal -- There are SEC teams that can beat
USC, This is not one of them. USC 45 Arkansas 13.
'*16. Budffalo at Tampa The heat, the Bucs defense and the "Caddy"
%0Ir. downrthe Bills. Tampa 27 Buffalo 17.
17. Miami at NY Jets Pennington and the Jets atone for last week.,
Jets 27 Miami 24.
18. Jacksonville at Indianapolis Byron and Jags beat the Colts last
year. They can again. Jax 31 Colts 30.
19. Pittsburgh at Houston Steelers all the way. Pittsburgh 38
Houston 21. -
