In two separate events, every- thing from produce to presents will be available. A tag sale, similar to a large garage sale, will be held at Main Street Heritage Park at the intersec- tion-of West Main Street and South Seventh Avenue. Vendors will also be located up and down Seventh Avenue. The first monthly Farmers COURTESY PHOTO The most recent aerial view of the K-8 school currently under construction off U.S. 17 and Keeton Road north of Wauchula shows the new educational facility is progressing well as it remains on target for an August2006 opening. "We're in good, solid shape," Project Manager Mike Imbler told the Hardee County School Board last Thursday night. Since the time this photo was taken, all slabs have been poured and started roofs have been completed, he said. Much of the electricity is on, kitchen equipment is in and air conditioning is ready. "We're pushing almost 300 men now," Imbler noted. "A lot of the general labor force is local, most of those, and it saves us money over outsourcing." The photo shows the complete layout of the campus, with the large building at center top being the gymnasium, locker rooms and classrooms. To its right is the cafeteria. Directly in front of the gym, and still taking shape, is the auditorium. The right-side buildings are junior high classroom wings. The left side shows elementary classrooms. The strip down the center and in front of the cafeteria will house a band room, technology classrooms, the media center and the administrative offices. No Candidates Yet For ZS Election By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate S No one has yet to qualify for can- didacy for t o open seats on the Zolfo Springs Town Council. The'' week-long filing period closes tomorrow (Friday) at 5 p.m. As of early Wednesday morning, only the incumbents had picked up qualifying packets at the Clerk's Office. Maggie Belcher and Roberta Meyer both intend to seek. re-election. No other packets have been dis- tributed, acting Finance Director Christy Stevens-Douglas said. And no completed packets have been returned. Any town resident interested in entering the political arena still has time to do so, as the qualifying process is a relatively simple one. Qualifying packets. can be obtained at the Clerk's Office in the Civic Center at 3210 U.S. 17 S. The packets require potential can- didates to take a' loyalty oath, to open a campaign account at an area bank and to fill out a brief financial * statement.

Fight Results In Boy"'s Expulsion First For 2005-06 School Year By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate - A Hardee Senior High School student who allegedly jumped a teacher trying to break up a fight has been expelled. The Hardee ,County School Board followed the recommenda- tion of Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones in making that deci- sion last Thursday night. The stu- dent was not present for the hearing before the board, as he has already accepted the punishment and enrolled in the district's alternative school. It was the first expulsion of the 2005-06 school year. Deputy Superintendent Greg Dick said the action resulted from an incident on school grounds on Aug. 25. He said the fight occurred at around 10:45 a.m. as students were changing classes. Apparently, he said, two boys had been planning a fight for sever- al days. It had been set at a loca- tion off campus for later that same day. One of the boys then asked a friend of his, David Devane, 16 and -a ninth grader, to cover his back during the fight so that no one else would enter the fray. But the fisticuffs began early, Dick said. Dick said a couple teachers spot- ted the fight between classes and moved to step in to separate, the combatants. "His job was to keep anyone else away, to keep everyone else off his friend, and he did his job," Dick alleged. Devane grabbed Sgt. Spencer Lofton, a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps instructor, from behind and tried to tackle him to the ground, an arrest report alleged. Teacher Jerry Carlton pulled Devane off the teacher. Devane was.charged with battery on a teacher, a third-degree felony. The two boys, who kept their aggression between themselves, were suspended for fighting, Dick said. The School Board expelled Devane for the remainder of the 2005-06 school year. He was eligible for enrollment in Pioneer Career Academy, and did' so, Dick said. He also must fulfill a requirement for all battery cases, which is satisfactory completion of an anger management program. Meyer, who holds Seat 5, is a newcomer to the council. She won a June 6 runoff against Mary Jane DeLeon Cimmino for the vacancy created by the March 9 resignation of Catherine Pollock. Pollock had served on the coun- cil for five years before quitting ,because of family and health rea- sons. Her term, however, was not ,due to expire until the end of October, and an election was held for voters to choose someone to fill that gap. Ultimately, they decided on Meyer. Joining Belcher and Meyer on the five-member board are Chairman George Neel, Minnie McKenzie and Roger Green. The Zolfo Springs Town Council meets in regular session once a month, on the second Monday at 7 p.m. Special meetings are called on an as-needed basis. Market will be held on the Main Street renovated lot off U. S. 17 South of Palmetto Street and across from Earnest Plaza. Seventh Avenue will be closed from Orange to Palmetto streets for the Tag Sale. A 10'xl0' space at Heritage Park can be reserved for $20, and a 10x10 can be reserved on West Main Street for $10. The deadline for applications is tomorrow (Friday). The sale will go on from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m.. Set-up begins at 6 a.m See MAIN STREET 2A School Board: No FCA.T, Nol By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate "Can the School Board make a rule that can't be changed?" 'Such was the determination of Chairman Jan Platt as board mem- bers adopted a Pupil Progression Plan for Hardee County Schools that requires high-school seniors to pass the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test if they want .to walk across the stage with their classmates on Graduation Day. And this week, testing began anew for students who have not yet passed either the reading or math portions of the FCAT. They must to obtain a diploma. But, appar- ently more important still to some youngsters, they must if they want to "walk" at graduation. The board first adopted that poli- cy for the 2002-03 school year, but granted an exception to a handful of students at the end of the 2004- 05 year as graduation loomed just one week away. That decision had followed the lead of former School Board mem- ber Tracy Baxter, who called for Walk her colleagues to show "compas- sion," and the highly vocal demands of parents at a lengthy board meeting, during which they claimed their children were never properly counseled or remediated. A lone teacher at the time did stand to say remediation classes were offered and that students did attend them, but they often slept through them or "painted their nails." But at the conclusion of that meeting, the board allowed any stu- dent who had met all other gradua- tion requirements but who did not pass the FCAT to walk across the stage with their class, though they would not receive a diploma. The move met with 'objections from the Hardee Senior High School Advisory Committee and many students, parents, teachers and members of the community. And the matter was revisited just prior to the start of the current school year. Board members reaf- firmed their commitment to the Pupil Progression Plan and their See WALKERS 2A COURTESY PHOTO School Board members (front, from left) Tanya Royal and Gina Neuhofer and (back) Chairman Jan Platt joined Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones in the Hardee Senior High School audi- torium as graduation requirements were explained to seniors. The board members were there to show the board's resolve to enforce its policy that only students who meet the district require- ments and pass the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test will be allowed to walk across the stage come graduation day. 460 U 1 lw ;s 14 , 105th Year, No. 42 4 Sections, Pages 34 I I i I I veW^ 2A The Herald-Advocate, September 29, 2005 S The Herald-Advocate Hardee County's Hometown Coverage JAMES R.

There ha e, been over, 150 new citrus canker finds in Florida since last year s hurricanes, reports Adam Basford of Florida Farm Bureau. This meant over I 3.000 acres of citrus trees had to beremoved and burned. Trees within 1.900 feet of infected trees must be destroyed. This can be about 240 acres of trees. , Since the cankei eradication program began several years ago, this means about 4 percent of Florida's citrus groves have been taken out. This leaves 96 percent, said Basford. 7 There was a new canker find last week at a Joe L. Davis grove at the, rqortbeast comer of DeSoto County next. to the Hardee/Highlands county. l0ire. This wa's a hurricane-caused canker find. It is'difficult for gro\e owners to remove thousands of adjacent healthy trees;' butihis is the current science, as canker can be spread by wind-dri- ven rain. Basford said Florida Farm Bureau policy No. 83 states. "We support the total eradication of citrus canker from the state of Florida and the United States." a Ne\w trees cannot be planted %w within two years on the land that had trees removed on account of canker. Some grove owners wait a third year, I understand. Citrus prices have been going up some in the last year, following less citrus acreage due to canker and real estate development for residential and commercial use. S. The current retail price for grapefruit juice is higher than orange juice since most of the 2004 crop w.as blown off by the hurricanes. For grove owners w ho plan to replant. perhaps they can grow row crops or grass for a couple of years. . Basford agrees growers should be compensated for the trees that have to be removed because of the canker eradication effort. He said there is cur- rently over $175 million in unpaid claims to growers who have lost trees and only $10 million appropriated by Congress to pay them. He was qqtot- .ed in the September 2005 Florida Agriculture magazine. Main Street Wauchula has two big events coming up Saturday begin- ,ning at 7 a.m. There is a big tag sale, like a yard sale, at Main Street Heritage Park at 7th Ave. and Nlain. The other event is a farmer's market at the vacant lot on Hwy. 17 North .across from Earnest Plaza. Vendors will sell fresh produce, jams,,jellies, plants, fresh flowers and baked goods. The farmers market %will be held the first Saturday morning of the month from October through May, said exec- utive director Megan NMcKibben. WALKERS' Continued From 1A determination hot to rescind, it again. - "We were blind-sided," Platt said of last May's lengthy session with .vocal parents. "We caved," board member Wendell Cotton agreed. The board had been verbally accosted 'by irate parents after Hardee High's principal and guid- ance counselors left the evening meeting to attend an awards cere- mony for graduates. They had no facts to judge by. This time, however, Principal Mike Wilkinson was on hand to explain the school's counseling and remediation plan to the board. Dean of Students Teresa White has met face-to-face s iih each senior who is in danger of not grad- uating, he said. Parental confer- ences will follow. Seniors signed letters' stating they understood the requirements. Students who had not yet passed either the reading or math portions were scheduled into "intensive" remediation classes, he said. Further, extra assistance is pro- vided after school, and transporta- tion is provided in order to better allow students to take advantage of the added help. "We can present it every way from Sunday," Wilkinson later said of the remediation offerings, "but if ,the student doesn't want it.them- selves, it won't matter. It takes a - commitment on the student's part, too, to work on these skills beyond the school day." And the "walking requirement" is a tool toward inspiring that com- mitment, he said. "Some students don't worry about getting a diploma, but they sure do want to be able to v alk with their class. -Their focus is on the ceremony, not the diploma." Concluded Wilkinson, "We need to shift their goal to that diploma. It matters for the rest of their lives. The walk across the stage is a short-term benefit." ; And once the board reaffirmed its Pupil Progression Plan and its determination not to rescind it, Platt asked the board's attorney if it could somehow be locked in place and never changed again. ; Board members also agreed to sending out letters to all parents of seniors and to attending a special meeting with the students them- selves. At that meeting, held late last month, Superintendent Jones told students they must acquire all nec- essary credits, maintain a 2.0 grade-point average and pass the FCAT to graduate. , He told the seniors what remledi- ation help was available to them. And he told them, "We need to expect high standards, and all of you are capable of meeting those expectations.". - Testing began anew Tuesday and continued Wednesday of this week. In all, students have six chances to pass the FCAT prior to gradua- tion. To will is to select a goal, deter- mine a course of action that will bring one to that goal, and then hold to that action till the goal is reached. The key is action. -Michael Hanson COURTESY PHOTO Members of Hardee Senior High School's senior class attended a meeting in: the school audito- rium recently, where graduation requirements were explained.

A: The link between obesity and cancer risk is not new. Several years ago, the American Institute for Cancer Research's landmark report on diet and cancer cited mainte- niance of a healthy weight as one way to lower our- risk of cancer, especially cancers of the breast, 'uterus and kidney. More recent research has estimated that in the U.S., overweight and obesity, could account for 14 percent of all cancer 'deaths among men and 20 percent among women. Cancers of the colon, 'gallbladder, ovaries and other organs have been added to the list of those linked to weight. There are several reasons for the link between overweight and cancer. Excess body fat influences levels of several hormones that may promote development of cancer cells. Too many calories consumed are also associated with greater growth and reproduction of cancer cells. Of course, it's difficult to separate the effects of being overweight from the lifestyle that makes someone overweight. Lack of exercise, excess fat consumption and a diet low in fruits and vegetables have all been independently identified as cancer risks. Q: Is it true that some people are more likely to develop dia- betes? A: Yes. We are all more likely to develop diabetes as we get older. But those who are overweight, have a parent or sibling with diabetes, or lack regular exercise are much more likely than others. Women who have delivered a baby that weighed more than nine pounds at birth, or who had diabetes while they were pregnant, are also more likely to develop the disease later in life. The good news is that modest weight loss (five to 10 percent of starting weight), along with 30 minutes of walking at least five days a week, can slash that risk. Some research suggests that a diet low in fat (espe- cially saturated fat) and high in fiber can offer further protection. And the even better news is that each of these steps not only lowers someone's risk of diabetes, but also helps lower their risk of cancer as well.. Q: Should people who take blood thinner medicines-stop eat- ing lettuce? A: No. Blood thinner medica-. tions reduce the chance of blood clots forming. They work by decreasing the effects of Vitamin K, which is vital for production of sub- stances that enhance blood clotting. Since doctors monitor a patient's medication dose closely to keep it in a healthy range, it's important that the amount of vitamin K in the diet remains fairly even. Although lettuce contains vitamin K, the major sources are the dark leafy greens, like kale, collard, mustard, beet greens, turnip greens, Swiss chard and spinach. As long as extra- large servings of these greens aren't' consumed, problems are unlikely. But the overall goal is to keep vita- min K intake consistent. If someone eats foods high in this Vitamin reg- ularly, medication levels will be set to accommodate that. Normally, our bodies adapts to varying intakes of vitamin K without a problem. Irregular amounts are only a con- cern for people taking blood thinner medication. HARDEE COUNTY KIDS NEED HARDEE COUNTY HELP! Ease a dependent child's way through the court sys- tem.

Hardee bounded ahead for a 25- 16 win in game four, the largest margin of victory of any of the . 'evening's games. Lang and \Micaela Hall each notched a half 'dozen service points. Emily Kuchingo put up six for Frostproof. On the fifth, and final game, with a 15-point limit instead of 25. .Frostproof was stretched .to the extra limit in winning 16-14 (a win must be by a two-point difference). Stephanie Heath had seven points for Frostproof, including the final pair. Mahoney had seven and Davis five for the Lady Cats. Leupold praised the team's togetherness. "If we play as a team, we .cqn beat, anybody," he said. T;at praise also came after, Tuesday's home match against vis- iting Sebring, who ranks second in the district., Hardee got off on the right foot, returning a Sebring serve to an empty spot in the back corner. Micaela Hall picked up two quick service points and the third one was short. Sebring served. Lang set up Madison Graham for a kill and Hardee took back the ball, up 4-1. After a change of service,-Harris ran off a streak of four points before Sebring 'successfully returned service. Selma Younes picked up a cou- ple for the Lady Streaks. It was 10- 5. The game stayed that close until Sebring senior Lindsay Espaillat was nearly unstoppable, with 10 unanswered serves. Sebring led 20- 12. McKinney got a couple of points for Hardee, but the damage was done. Whitney Lee and Kaitlin Hamlin finished service for Sebring's 25-18 win. Game two was the reverse start, Sebring taking a 3-0 lead before Hardee's McKinney served the 'Lady Cats back into contention to an 8-3 advantage. Hall and Graham kept it up and Hardee had taken a 13-6 lead. Back and forth it went, a point for each team. Gradually and surely, the Streaks cut 'the Lady Cat lead, until it was 18-17. Graham blocked well and got Hardee a point, only to have Sebring get one. It was 19-18. Davis and Lang put points on the board until Hardee was up 24-19. Hamlin cut it to 24-22, but Hardee got the final point for the 25-23 vic- tory. Game three was a killer, with two early ties, then Sebring staying just a point or two ahead until mid- way through the mqtch when Lee and Brittany Bullock stretched the Sebring lead to 20-12. Amber. Foster took it home for the Lady Streak 25-13 win. The final,game was just as anx- ious, with early lead changes before Sebring gradually widened the gap and went on to win 25-17 and take the match 3-1. At Booker on Thursday night. the Lady Cats came out flat, seem- ingly having nothing left after a long week. The girls played well only in spurts, losing 25-12, 25-16 and 25-14, said Leupold. The Hardee junior varsity won last Monday's home match against Frostproof 2-1. Hardee dropped the first game 25-22, with Rebecca Butcher get- ting nine points for the junior Lady Bulldogs. Hardee got five from Megan White and four from Jerrica Grimsley. The junior Lady Cats came back to win game two 25-20 despite 12 service points by Jessica Hall for Frostproof. Six Hardee players split up the service points. In game three, Hardee pulled the game out 15-13 'behind six points by White and and five more by Christie Davis. "We worked well as a team, with good passing and setting, lots of teamwork," said JV coach Meredith Durastanti. Hardee battled the junior Lady Streaks on Tuesday, losing a heart- breaker 27-25 to Sebring. "Then we lost out teamwork. We need to know how to finish games," said Durastanti. "Jerrica Grimsley had 10 good serves, including an ace, and two kills. Kember Townsend added four points including an ace and also had twin kills. Krystin Robertson was doing a good job at the net, and Juliann Davis and Hannah Marshall did a good job setting up team- mates," recapped Durastanti. Again, at the end of a long week, the junior varsity girls went down in straight sets, losing 15-2, 25-11 at Booker on Thursday night. "We're just not consistent, improved very much, but not com- municating as we should," con- cluded Durastanti.

FUNERAL HOME, 163 No. Brevard Ave. Arcadia 863-494-7646 Provided as a courtesy of Robarts Funeral Home '' :* ; - By LAUREN RAULERSON For The Herald-Advocate The city of Bowling Green has chosen to adopt the city of Wiggins, * Miss., which was recently damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Wiggins has been affected by Katrina as Hardee County was by Charlie over a year ago. Wiggins is in Stone County, which has a popu- lation of 14,000. Wiggins has a population of 4,500 and is in many ways similar to Bowling Green. Bowling Green Mayor Perry Knight, chose this town because he has a job repairing heavy beverage equipment and has passed through this town a few times. He knows people in a neighboring town who have relatives in Wiggins and they informed him of Wiggins' situation. Knight contacted Jay Alexander, the mayor of Wiggins, and was able to give advice and answer any questions Alexander had. Alexander has only been the mayor of Wiggins for two months; howev- er Knight told him, "after this year you will have 30 years experience." Wiggins is located 40 miles north of Gulfport and has had much' water and roof damage. The main industry in Wigginsis paper manu- facturing. In the same way the orange industry was hit after Charlie, the vital paper plant in Stone County has been damaged. Wiggins faced a major problem in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Some people in rural areas need oxygen tanks to breathe. People are -running out of oxygen and medi- cine as well. After Katrina, dozens of people were given a 10-day supply of cru- cial medications. Some survived the storm; then their lives were threatened because of the lack. of medication. Relief efforts in Wiggins were 'not as sluggish as in other areas. Trucks with water and ice were delivered within three to four days. The streets are being cleaned up and power is being restored. It took a couple of weeks after Katrina to fully restore power to rural areas. Knight says "They haven't lost their sense of humor and their faith has not been shaken. I'm proud to be a part of touching them; they . touch me with their faith and resilience. They are hurt but not broken." The city of Bowling Green is collecting canned goods, toiletries, furniture, clothes, soap, personal items and flash lights to send to the hurricane victims. Transportation has already been lined up to deliver the items and will be sent whenev- er the truck is full. Items to be sent to Wiggins can be dropped off at Bowling Green City Hall, 104 E. Main St.,- Bowling Green. "There has already been a good response from the CHARLES LEE "CHUCK" WILLIAMS Charles Lee "Chuck" Williams, 77, of Bowling Green, died September 24, 2005, in Palmetto.

Sebring put four runs on the board in a combination of hits, walks and an error. Hardee got its first score of the season in the top of the second. Halley Marshall flied out. Chelsey Steedley was safe on an error, stole second and came home on a Kayla Owens hit. Owens was stranded when the third out occurred. Sebring was three up, four down, a walk doing no harm. Hardee sent only three batters to. the plate in the third inning. Sebring plated three with a combi- nation of walks, hits and a passed ball. It was 7-1. While Hardee did not score in the fourth inning, Sebring put two more runs.on the board in a single, double and an error. Hardee batted around in the top of the fifth. Kara Norris and Heather St. Johns both walked. Caitlan Chason singled and Kate Krause followed suit. Lindy Rossman walked, as did Eryn Mahoney. When the dust settled four runners had scored and only two were left on base. Sebring inched one runner home to make it 10-5. Hardee was stranded in the top of the sixth, but Sebring went on a spree and collected six scores on a triple, double,: single, an error and hit batsman. . Hardee rallied in the top of the seventh, bringing three batters home before the effort ended. Rossman walked but was caught stealing and Kyndall Robertson' was retired on strikes. With two down, Mahoney was safe on an error. Lenora Shoffner singled and Steedley did the same. Norris drew a walk and teammates raced home in the interim.

Hardee tried to come back in the bottom of the final inning. Krause walked and scored on an error on a Caitlan Chason hit.

Some north- eastern and central Peninsula localities, mainly along the Atlantic coast, also received significant rainfall during the week. Precipitation ranged from less than a 10th-inch at Carabelle and Monticello to over three inches at Key West, Jay and Homestead. Temperatures for the week averaged one to seven degrees above nor- mal in the major cities. Daytime highs were in the 80s and.90s while night- time lows were in the 60s and 70s. Field Crops Outer rain bands from Hurricane Rita provided relief in some dry areas but slowed field activities in other areas. Adequate rains in Washington County allowed growers to plow peanuts. Very dry conditions delayed the maturation of some peanuts in Jackson County with rain needed to soften the hard soils. Rains allowed peanut harvesting to progress in Madison County but the hay fields are in poor condition. Some growers in Suwannee County had to irrigate peanut fields in order to dig since continuous dry weather hindered digging in the hardened soils. Late planted peanuts are under stress in dry. areas of thenorthern Peninsula. Statewide, peanut con- dition is rated one percent poor, 35 percent fair, 40 percent good and 24 percent excellent. Problems with insects were reported in Leon County. Most topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies in the Panhandle were short to adequate with some areas reporting very short supplies. Soil moisture supplies across the Peninsula were short to adequate with some pockets of very short and sur- plus supplies reported. Vegetables Strong gusty winds blew plastic off some Dade County fields which delayed planting by about half a week. About one percent of the winter tomato acreage has been transplanted around Homestead. Less rainfall around Immokalee, Plant City, Palmetto and Ruskin allowed planting to remain mostly on schedule. Heavier rains around Quincy interrupted some tomato pruning and tying, with some grape types picked near the end of the week. Strawberry growers around Plant City prepared ground and laid plas- tic for winter crop transplanting. Producers around Hastings started planti- ng cabbage. Okra harvesting remained active on cleardays in Dade. County. Livestock In the Panhandle, pasture is in poor to good condition with most fair to good. Grasshoppers and spittle bugs are prevalent. Some pasture is in good shape for late September, but most needs moisture. Cattle are in fair to excellent condition. Rain is needed before soil will be ready for land prepa- ration for planting of winter small ,grains for pastures. In the northern areas, pasture is in poor to good condition with most in fair condition due to drought. Cattle condition ranges from fair to good. In the central areas, pasture ranges from poor to excellent condition. Pasture in excellent condition received rain/from hurricanes Rita and Katrina; other areas are suffering from drought. Cattle condition is mostly good. : '' ' In the southwest, pasture condition is poor to good with most in good condition and cattle condition is poor to good. Statewide, condition of the cattle ranges from poor to good with most in good condition; Fruit Citrus: Temperatures-continued to be hot, reaching the low 90s in all areas, except on the east coast which only reached 87 degrees. Rainfall ranged from four-tenths of an inch in Lake Alfred to almost two inches in Fort Pierce. Growers are keeping trees in good condition with little after- noon wilt showing in well-cared-for groves. Grove maintenance was light the last week with some scattered fertilizing, liming, mowing and cleanup continuing in all areas as they move into the picking season. Three fresh fruit packing houses are open with more planning to be open by the middle of October. Varieties being packed include Fallglo tan- gerines and colored grapefruit. Ambersweet will be beginning withiti the week. Letter To Editor People Should Forgive, Show Love Dear Editor. Why do some people who say they are Christians but. treat others unjustly get away with it? Does not the Bible say pray for them who persecute you, love thy neighbor as thyself, pour heaping coals on people's heads by showing the love of God? If the scriptures are so direct to love the ungodly and to show love where there should be zilch, then do you think, these individuals have their con- sciences seared like a hot iron? This means that if people do' wrong, then. they don't feel any guilt or remorse. They could kill someone and laugh about it, saying that they did God justice because they got rid of an evil person and the world would be a very better place without him. Oh well, this old earth and the 'people on it won't be perfect -until To Others Jesus comes back and we go with Him to Heaven. Why do the scriptures say, "Be perfect like your Father in Heaven is perfect." I suppose we are just going to have to forgive 7 times 70 and release any anger, binerness or ani- mosity we may be harboring in our hearts. At least I know one person Will keep the scriptures. I know I am far from perfect and far from having anger in my heart, etc., but I can ask God to forgive me for my aught against my bro. I believe the people on this ole earth need to do a lot of bowing to our Lord Jesus Christ instead of trying to devour each, other. It would make the world a much bet- ter place to live.

The 36-year-old man, whose name is being withheld by The Herald-Advocate to protect the identity of the child, was booked into the Hardee County Jail on Saturday. He was charged with child abuse, a third-degree felony. He currently is being held with- out bond as he awaits trial. If ultimately convicted of the charge as filed, he could face a maximum penalty of five years in state prison and/or a $5,000 fine. According to an arrest report filed by Sgt. Robert Ehrenkaufer, the spanking occurred Friday night after the child brought home a note from school. The 5-year-old had misbehaved in class, he said. The father retrieved a rubber san- dal from the parents' bedroom and used it to spank the boy, Ehrenkaufer said. The mother was not home at the time, but she told police her hus- band later told her it "touched his heart" when the 5-year-old pleaded, "Don't kill me, Daddy!" It was an uncle who came to visit the child who first saw signs of the alleged abuse and notified police. Ehrenkaufer said he found large bruises on the child. A bruise on the boy's right upper hip matched the pattern of the rubber sandal, he said. He also found a similar bruise on the boy's upper left thigh. Additional bruising was seen on the right buttock. a -- 10 HOURS A MONTH! That's all it takes to speak up for a child.

CATEGORY 5 CLASS COuRTESY PHOTO This Hardee Junior High School class blew away the competition in a school-wide week-long effort to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. All eighth graders, they are members of Mark Carlton's homeroom science class. They battered the other homerooms by bringing in a total of $218.50 in cash donations. Assistant Principal Doug Herron said that overall the home- rooms brought in a total of $1,767.86. Added to that will be donations from the school's recent Book Fair, which also participated in the fund raiser by contributing 10 percent of its profits from the sale of books, and from the physical education teachers, who are,giving up part of their prof- its from Gatorade sales. In' all, Herron said it is expected the final amount will exceed $2,000. Hardee Junior High will send the money to Winship Elementary School in Spring, Texas. That school has been'selected because it has taken in a number of evacuees from New Orleans. The money will be used to help get those youngsters set up in their new school and community, Herron said. o Sale c-i elk '. ,' 2B The Herald-Advocate, September 29, 2005 Hardee EYEGLASSES DONATION /^ \m Living YMCA REPORT \ .:-..... -- ...-- j PHOTO BY JIM KELLY Sevigny & Timmerman Eye Care, represented by Eric Sevigny last Thursday donated over, 100 pairs of eyeglasses to the Wauchula Lions Club.

Shining brightly in the apple of God's eye He's watching and waiting There to protect you And by His guidance, you will become What He made you to be Even if we have to love you from afar, There's no separating who we are Our blood is the same and nothing can change What abides within our hearts I cannot explain this void that I feel To know that you're.gone To Know that it's real I'll see you in my dreams Where I have seenyou before But as I awake, it was a dream once more We can't let go We can't give up With God's help, I'll see your face again Because pure, true love has no end Stray away from lies, for they might deceive you Hold onto what you know is God's truth Where are their hearts? Where is the soul? What happened to forever? What happened to one whole? Lies, deceit, lives it can destroy Happiness, peace, all just a ploy What they desire may not have wise intentions So prayerfully we seek for God's intervention : God is our Judge God is our hope Victory, Victory, Victory is ours , We thank the Lord for His mighty strong power You have placed Your hand to cover us still , And by Your mercy and grace, let Your plan be fulfilled Hopefully soon, we Will reunite To dance and sing, in God's sunlight I'll hold your hand, you, laugh and smile That's how I know it's all worthwhile , Everything that happens is meant for a reason, A reason we might not understand, only in due season I've loved you since you came And I'll love you as,you go I will and always Loveyou more than you might ever know '~ essica.Herrera Bowling Green PUBLISH YOUR ORIGINAL POETRY!

HJHS Cats Slip In Opener By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate "We were invaded by giants, but. we did very well for our first game of the season." Head coach Gregg White expressed pride in his Hardee Junior High School Wildcat foot- ball team which battled the Avon Park Middle School in a 12-8 loss in Hardee's fall opener. The young Cats had a bye the first week and were in their first game while Avon Parlk was in its second. "Those guys were twice our size. We had some nervousness in the first series, but after that it was typ- ical Wildcat football, a lot of gang tackles. The boys played hard. We had some first game breakdowns, but the boys left the field with the taste that they could have won that game. I'd rather lose 12-8 than 55- -8," continued White. The junior Cats were at home on Tuesday evening for a visit from Frostproof. Then, it's on the road for the next three weeks, on Oct. 4 at Sebring, Oct. 11 at Hill-Gustat and Oct. 18 at Lake Placid., The season ends with an. Oct. 25 game at home against DeSoto, which will feature a pre-gamne barbecue chick- en dinner in the cafeteria at a cost of $6. Avon Park took first possession at its 35 and marched downfield, with Teddy Allen both carrying and catching the football. He went the final 41 yards to score near the end of the first quarter. A conversion pass was no good, but, Avon Park led 6-0. On Hardee's first series, Haree Cook 'returned the kickoff. Kelsheem White gained four yards, and quarterback Ezayi Youyoute w ent around the right side for a first dow n in Avon Park territory at the 42. A penalty moved Hardee up to the 32. - The drive continued, with White eating up yardage. Facing a' fourth and three at the Red Devil 8, Youyoute passed to- Nicholas Battles for the touchdown. Battles also caught a conversion pass to put Hardee in front 8-6.' .- A Tyliar Alden interception took the ball away from Avon Park on its next series, but a Wildcat fumble ,nearly gave it back. Jacob Nowakowski recovered it for the Cats and Hardee %went on downfield until a quarterback sack on fourth down turned the ball over. Penalties and hard Wildcat tackles slowed Avon Park, which was forced to punt. Jonathan Kelly returned it to the Red Devil 44. Exchanges of possession took the rest of the first half. David Richardson returned the second half kickoff 15 yards to get Hardee started. Antjuan Jones got a first down, short of midfield. Hardee then .went backward and was forced to punt. The junio. Red Devils took advantage of the opportunity, with David 'Callahan' going over left guard for a 28-yard TD run. Tyrell Smith stopped Allen short of the goal line on the conversion run. Avon Park had taken a 12-8 lead. For the rest of the third and the fourth quarters. Nowakowski, Jones, White and Jake Mayer took' turns toting the football for Hardee. A fumble was recovered as Hardee neared the Avon Park goal line and the junior Red Devils were able to run out the clock and preserve their 12-8 win. In the fifth quarter Hunter Henderson picked up nine yards and Tony Marti-nez scooted 56 The custom of hanging up mistletoe at Christmas dates back to the Druids, an ancient people of Britain. yards for the score. Johnathan Avery added a conversion run over left tackle and-Hardee had an 8-0 lead. When Leon Faulkner sacked the Red Devil quarterback, it put the junior Red Devils back a bit. A good tackle by D'Vonte Hooks also slowed them, but Avon Park ran the next play in for the score. The con- version run was stopped short and Hardee won 8-6. "We won the fifth quarter. Since several seventh graders are on the first team, so it's the kids waiting to come on, just beginning to under- stand the intensity of Wildcat foot- ball. They did a good job," con- cluded Coach, White. Staff writer Jim Kelly contributed to this report.

What a game. Friday night's clash between the Bartow Yellow Jackets and Hardee Wildcats was all you could want in a game, especially if you're the home team. The Cats outlasted a big, strong Jacket squad. The Cats are still ranked sixth in the state Class 3A football poll. In the first five games of the regular season, they have outscored opponents 139- 48. And, that's not counting the 35-0.preseason win over Lake Region. Every game, it seems a different player steps up to lead Hardee offen-: sively, while defensively there are any number of stars with interceptions, sacks, numerous tackles or whatever is needed. JV football got on the winning track in a big way at Lake Placid with a 42-14 victory last week. Tonight (Thursday), the junior Cats are at Kissimmee Osceola. They have added two games to the schedule, a home game Oct 13 against St. Petersburg Catholic and a trip to Sebring on Oct. '27. The HJHS Cats drew a bye on opening week and were only on their first game when they hosted Avon Park last Tuesday in a 12-8 loss. Coach Gregg' White, no doubt, had his charges ready when they greeted Frostproof on Tuesday evening, and will be even better in next week's trip to Sebring. They will host a BBQ chicken dinner (for $6) before the Oct. 25 home game against DeSoto. H rdee volleyball has played some good games recently. The girls are still a bit inconsistent, very up and competitive one game and down the next. When they get it all together and play as a team, they can beat any- body. The team will host an enchilada dinner on Oct. 7 at the high school cafe- teria. Plan ahead to be there to pick yours up. And, while you're planning, put a spot on the calendar for the Heartland Band Festival at Wildcat Stadium from 3 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 8. The Blue Star Brigade will play the national anthem, then will be the first of probably a dozen bands on. the field, from Miami to Palm Beach to Riverview coming to participate in hopes of winning trophies. Boys golf edged a much-improved Frostproof Bulldog squad last week. The girls were rained out. It's just a couple of weeks until district competi- tion. The girls will host the 1A-District 16 tournament at Torrey Oaks on Oct. 10, while the boys go off to Lakewood Ranch Country Club for .their districts. Cross country runners are improving their times at every outing. Jose Gutierrez has paced the boys, while a quartet of Liz Miller, Maricela Galvan, Cynthia Briseno and Mandy Cornelius have taken turns leading the girls squad. They were among 300 runners at the Manatee Invitational last weekend and will be among 5,000 at the, flrunners.com invitational tomor- row (Friday) in Dade City. Senior captain Walter "Boomer" Olliff has been regularly winning * events, leading by example the mostly underclass squad. Freshmen Courtney Nicholson and Kaitlin Justice are doing the same for the young girls team. . Community Softball League play started on Monday, although cut short by heavy showers. We needed the rain, bui the guys would really like to get going after many delays to their season. Congratulations to seniors James Basey and Rebecca Durrance. The scholar-athletes are this year's nominees for the Wendy's Heisman Award for outstanding students who combine sports and academics successfully.

The kids have come to realize that they have to apply the coaching in the game, not do their own thing," said elated head coach Rod Smith. This week the young Cats play at Kissimmee Osceola. Then they are home for back-to-back games before a final road game. Already on the schedule was the Oct. 6 home game against Frostproof. When the varsity visited St. Petersburg Catholic, an Oct. 13 JV game was set up at Wildcat 'Stadium. Also added to the sched- ule was an Oct. 27 game at Sebring.' Smith made key changes for the Lake Placid game. Freshman Adam Cartwright moved to, the quarter- back slot and used soph Jordan Grimsley at tailback. Grimsley had 14 carries for- 112 yards, three touchdowns and a two-point con- version. "Adam did a good job throwing the ball. He was four of six. The passes went to tight end Dan Timmons, getting a 40-yard TD and two-point. conversion among his four catches for 65 yards," said Smith. Good offensive line work by the front five made the run and pass successful. Center Tyler Bumby also doubles as kicker, and did well on punts and tvwo PATs. At left tack- le is Jose Garcia, left guard Joe Barton, right guard Eddie Hunt and Chris Rivas and Logan Thomas sharing right tackle duties.. Jorge Lopez, Frank Gross, David Newcombe and Barton led the defense with a trio of tackles apiece. Others in on the tackle parade were Tim Selph, Chris Anderson, Marwin Simmons, Mark St. Fort, Pete Solis, Demetrice Coney, Postene Louisjeune, Tyler Harvard, Damien Richard, Tony Martinez and Jason Jester, who also had an interception TD. Lake Placid had first possession but went three and out. The snap for the punt sailed over the kicker's head and was down on the 8-yard line. Grimsley took it in for the first score of the night.% The Dragons and Cats, exchanged punts. On 'the next series, the Cats held defensively, and even backed the Dragons up, forcing a punt. Early in the second quarter, Grimsley broke loose for a 70-yard TD run. A Cartwright to Timmons pass added two points to. make it 14-0. After the kickoff return, Jester intercepted a pass and ran it back 30 yards to put the Cats on the 11- or 12-yard line, described Smith. Grimsley got his third score of the night. Just before halftime, the Dragons recovered a Wildcat fumble deep in their own territoryand punched. it in for the TD and conversion. At halftime, Hardee led 28-8. Newcombe scored and Grimsley added a two-point conversion. Later in the third quarter Timmons snared .the 40-yard pass from Cartwright Hardee's final tally was in the fourth period, when Gerardo Villegas got free for a 48- yard run to set up the TD. Jester ran the final dozen yards to cross the goal line. Selph, Lampley and Harvard also took turns carrying the foot- ball. law ~~W-J PHOTO BY RALPH HARRISON Hardee, Junior Varsity football got a big win at Lake Placid on Thursday night.

FRUSTRATED Lately, I have been overwhelmingly frustrated. Things have not been going right. I expect one thing and I end up getting another.. I hear promis- es from others and they are not kept. And I am nor the worst. I look at the people in New Orleans. They are frustrated with the con- ditions that they have beeniforced to live %with. And we here, in what was last year's "hurricane alley," know that they are going to hear promises from the insurance companies and adjustors that are not kept. If they think they are frustrated now, just wait until later. After all of this, they are almost hit with another hurricane.. This is so frustrating! It is a part of life to be frustrated. It is a part of life to have things go the wrong way and disappoint us. Every pitcher in the major leagues should be jealous of life for its ability to throw the most precise, unexpected curve- - balls. It is a frustrating life ... if we let it be! You see, this is the conclusion that I have come to recently. Life is frus- trating only when I let it frustrate me! Let me repeat that. Life is frustrating only when I let it frustrate me! And I believe that I can support this with Scripture. - Philippians 4:6 says that, we are to 'be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let (our) request be made known to God!" j God's answer to frustrating' people is that we give it to Him. God's answer to sticky situations is that we give them to Him. God's answer to everything else that catches us in a bind is that we give it all to Him. This is easier said than done, but it is commanded. Paul, the author of this letter to the Philippians, an inspired teacher from God, tells us that God commands us to let go! We need to learn to put things in God's hands. And so. this 1 plan to do right now. I might be frustrated right now, but I will take a deep breathe, slow down for a moment, arid hand it to God. I will approach His heavenly throne and plead with Him to help me out. I will come before His awesome pres- ence and let it all go! And all of this, I will'do with thanksgiving. After this, I know I will feel better .... Boy, it's true. Now I feel better. I'm Telling the Truth! J. Adam Shanks is minister of the Church of Christ in Wauchula.

Iroa;way Fort Meade, FL 33841 9-22-10:6c Boys Golf Edges Frostproof By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate Hardee boys golf had another successful week, upping the season record to. 4-0: The girls team was rained out in its matches last week and will regroup. They are off now until hosting the Class 14-District 16 tournament at Torrey Oaks on Oct. 10. The boys are at 'Sebring next - Thursday, Sept. 29, and have three matches in early October before_ heading to districts at Lakewood Country Club, also on Oct. 10. Wildcat coach George Heine has the unenviable. task' of choosing players each week. His dozen play ers qualify at practice for spots on the team for each match. His team includes senior Brenton McClenilhan, junior Justin Painter, sophs Kaleb Saunders. Kyle Cobb, Jake Lowe, James Olliff and D. R. Harris and freshmen Brek McClenithan, Ben Krause, Jake Crews, Jason Thompson and Holden Nickerson. The Wildcats started last week with Monday's 18-hole play in the 10th annual Crutchfield-Hawkins Invitational Tournament, which was changed from Sept. 26 to Sept. 19. Hardee was in Division III,' and actually could have placed second in Division II, carding a team 328, just three strokes off Indian Rocks Christian, which took Division II with a team score of 325. Hardee came in lower than Sebring, which finished second in Division II with a 331. For the Cats, the teani score of 328 w as good enough to win Division III by 13 strokes over Lakeland Christian which ended, the day at 341. "I was very pleased with the team performance consid- ering the conditions," commented Heine. On a very windy day, -Hardee posted unusual scores. Brenton McClenithan and Saunders came in with 79s and Painter and Krause were each at 85. Cobb had an unusual 97 in the daylong event. On Thursday, the Cats hosted ' Frostproof and barely got past the' much-improved Bulldogs. "It came down to the last players. We shot a 168 and they had 173. It was our closest match of the year. We're 4- 0 not counting the Hawlngs tour- ney," said Heine. Brek McClenithan, qualifying for his first match of the season, led the Cats around the course in 40 strokes. Painter was next at 41, with Brenton McClenithan getting a 42, including a birdie. Olliff sank .a pair of birdies in finishing at 45 and Cobb was at 46. Saunders had an uncharacteristic nightmare on hole 2, which took 13 strokes, and still finished with an overall 47.

The Wildcats combined sacks, fumble recoveries and interceptions to stop Bartow's running and pass- ing game. Although the Jackets had more passing yards and first downs, and fewer penalties,, the Wildcats won where it counts, on the score- board. % Breaking loose in the fourth quarter for a 74-yard TD run, junior Chris Rich broke a 14-14 tie with the winning score. This week, the Cats face the Sebring Blue Streaks, their first Class 3A District 12 opponent, at Fireman's Field. The Streaks lost to Palmetto, Haines City and Dade City-Pasco in the first trio of games this season. Well-rested quarter- back A. C. Wilson and Chris Wellborn can throw to Aukuee Daniels, Kyle Hoffner, Justin Tomlinson or T. J. Hipps, or expect T. J. Williams, Neil Walker or Willie Lowe to carry the ball. The Streaks are coming off a bye week to challenge the unde- feated (4-0) Wildcats who have to recoup from a variety of injuries suffered in Friday night's very physical game. T All of the Wildcat offensive backfield have injuries, with Marc Hodges recovering from a sprained ankle, Brad Gilliard and Michael Carpenter with foot injuries, Jimmy. Jose Salvador (51) and Pierre Lazarre (15-on bottom of pile) combine to sack Jacket quarterback Devarius Cook (9). Pass is on its way to wideout Chris Rich (14) for an 11-yard gain. Cimeus with a bruised hip and Chris Rich a bruised shoulder.You could bet they all will be ready to play some this week, waiting until the Oct. 7 bye week to heal up a bit more. "I'm super proud of these Wildcats. It was a rough game, a heck of a week. We were physical- ly outmatched in a couple of places and had to play tough mentally. That's where the preparation comes in. I'm glad we played such a game as it exposed some areas we need to work on. It was a challenge we passed," said Hardee head coach Derren Bryan. Helping the Wildcats prepare well were offensive linemen Ryan Roehm and defen&iveilinenian'Kyle Parrish, %hho earned the co-Scout Team Players of the Week awards. Defensively, the nod went to soph Terry Redden, who had 10.5 tackles. He also had a pair of kick- off returns for 65 yards, one for 57 yards. The offensive Players of the Week were the three senior line- man, Justin English, Jeremy Kelly and Daniel Moore, who protected junior quarterback Weston Palmer and made holes for the running backs.

With approval of the Hardee County Commission, the new con- tract for Oct. 1,2005-Sept. 30-2006 became official. There were few major changes to the contract language. The signifi- cant changes are in the annual rais- es. Every active employee will get a 1.5 percent cost of living increase, effective Oct. 1 the start of the new fiscal year. Those whose last job perfor- mance evaluation was satisfactory or better and completed all training requested of their position, will move up one step on the pay plan. Those who have reached the maxi- mum pay grade for their position will get a one-time bonus equal to 2.5 percent of their salary. Two other points were approved. Mechanics may be, allowed to exchange broken or worn out tools which are on the inventory with ones of equal or better quality. Union employees designed as a lead person" will receive no less than seven percent wage increase added to the normal hourly rate of pay. In other, action, the commission: -held a brief meeting of the Hardee County Value Adjustment Board, which includes commis- sioners Minor Bryant, Gordon Norris 'and Bobby Ray Smith and Schbol Board members Joe Jones, and Wendell Cotton. That board is scheduled to hear eight appeals of property tax valuations on Oct. 3. --approved on a split vote the low bid of D. R. Swanson of $97, 327.80 for improvements for the Sauls Road intersection for semi- trailers that exit that road to U. S. 17 North. "If we're going to do it, do it now, the price will only go up," said Bryant. Commissioner Nick Timmerman opposed it. -approved, after a public hear- ing and lengthy discussion, cre- ation of the position of Fire Marshal for Hardee County Fire- Rescue, an ordinance with an updated Fire Code, and a resolution setting fees for fire prevention ser- vices to the about-600 area busi- nesses. Fire Chief Mike Choate ex- plained the code and fees were in reference to codimercial, not resi- dential or small rental properties. It would include apartment complex- es, condominiums and all business- es which are required to be inspect- ed annually according to state law. "We are just out of compliances. We haven't been getting it done," he said. New businesses of more than 5,000 square feet must have a mon- itored alarm system. Fees for rou- tine inspections or re-inspections, certificate of occupancy and reviewing construction plans are set up according to the square footage of the building. Another factor is the type of occupancy, whether it presents a particular fire risk or not. Choate said a fire marshal on staff is necessary to begin investi- gations at a suspicious fire scene as soon as possible. A truck and crew have to remain on scene to main-. tain the chain of evidence until the state fire marshal arrives over two hours later. Choate said beside himself and Deputy Chief Dan Harshburger, there are three lieutenants and 36 line people (firefighters and emer- gency medical technicians): Each shift must have a lieutenant who goes with the first truck to the scene. He is the "instant comman- der," with multiple responsibilities. for safety, loose electric lines or gas lines, possible building collapse, any detail which affects the safety of residents or the firefighters. Choate said he gets to only about half of the fire responses and: Harshburger gets to about 85 per- cent, but they are usually late get- ting there because of other commit- ments. Former commissioner: .Bill Lambertobjected to the ne\% fees in behalf of ffi' business community. "You can't keep going back to the same well," he said, noting he paid FLORIDA MARKETS AT A GLANCE For the eck ended Septembei 22, 2005: At the Florida Livestock Auctions, receipts totaled 15,86 to last week 14,944 and 16,900 a year ago.

He suggest- ed a fee on vehicles to help pay for response to accidents. Choate said insurance ratings are tied to sufficient apparatus and per- sonnel, the ability to fire fights, but fire prevention was another divi- sion. Some small businesses may take a couple of hours, and a large one, such as a Wal-Mart could take 40 hours. Similarly, a plan review and on- site inspections for construction take a lot longer and can tie up an inspector, who cannot then com- plete the annual inspections to be done. "With 592 businesses on the Property Appraiser's roll, if each .took just two hours, that's 2,080 .hours a year to meet the require- ments of Florida Statute 630, which makes the local jurisdiction respon- sible to do these," he commented. Others in the audience suggested impact fees, raising the annual assessment and other -ways to fund the fire prevention division. -approved submission of a haz- ard mitigation grant application to prepare a countywide application for funds to plan ways to protect property from natural disasters. A master plan is the first step. Then will come applications for grants to be able to complete the economic development needed for the future, said county long-term recovery project manager Doug Knight. -learned the county's industrial park was featured in the current issue of Business Florida, which is distributed around the state and region.

Tampa Bay, Miami Dolphins, Gators, USF and Noles have all opened strong this sea- son. The Hardee Wildcats have continued "The Streak" to 37 consecutive regular season wins! v USF won its first ever Big East game, it was a stunner over a Top 10 touisville squad. The Bulls have the attention of the country at this point in the season. Oh, what back-to-back huge wins would mean if the Bulls can beat Miami! .h. The Dolphins needed a good coach to turn them around. Nick Saban appears to have done it sooner than expected. Who would have guessed the Fish would be 2-1 at this point? if The Bucs have opened 3-0. could this be the year Tampa goes back to ,the Super Bowl? Maybe that is premature, but hope springs eternal. At -least, the team is back on the right track. " The Jags, behind the passing of Byron Leftwich, overcame Chad Pennington and the Jets in the "Battle of Marshall QBs." Both quarterbacks have been hindered with injuries after taking so many hits from defenders. 1I UCF broke a 16-game losing streak with a 23-13 win over Marshall. 4he Knights' fans tore down the goal post in the Citrus Bowl. The fans were 'he classic 12th man for UCF. The official attendance said 22,127 but it appeared more like 40,000 from where we sat. UCF fans have rallied behind their team. They did not abandon them during the streak. The enthu- siasm shown by the UCF fans is what college football is all about. Marshall fans could understand the exhilaration experienced by the Rise & Shine By Ted Simonson e. FIVE MEN OF GOD I see five men in our congregation, Five men of God Who may be pillars of the church 4 In the years ahead! Who are these men? They are striding toward us, With their shoulders squared And their eyes clear, Brushing aside the years as they come. It is a stirring sight to see them! They have been prayed over and wept over, And now they are lovers of God, Free of themselves and ready to look after The souls of others. Who are they? / Well, don't smile. They are my five little grandsons Who live next door. But don't be fooled by their ages! They are men-in-the-making And before you know it, they will be standing Tall among us, Men of passion and purpose! Kids now, but tomorrow, * Engineers, carpenters, truck drivers, Yes, and song leaders, Sunday School teachers, Preachers and Missionaries! At the moment, they are playing hide and seek, Giggling andgasing, Squirming through sermons, Dozing on Dad's shoulder or Mother's arms. But don't be fooled They are coming-disciples of the new century! SShoulder to shoulder, They are marching toward us. They are coming to joinus! And they w ill be here sooner than we think! Pray God that we'll be ready for them! UCF fans. The Thundering Herd experienced the longest non-winning streak, of the 1960s during my undergraduate days. On Nov. 12, 1966, Marshall beat Kent State 16-7. The Herd did not win another game until Nov. 1, 1969 when it defeated Bowling Green 21-16. If memory serves me right, classes were suspended on Monday after that victory. Now let's look at this .ek's Bill O'Fare: 1. Florida at Alabama This is a dangerous game for the Gators. If my prediction of 9-2 is correct, this can be a loss. However, the offense is coming around and the defense has been good. Florida 31 Alabama 21. 2. Virginia Tech at West Virginia -- This is the last meeting between these bitter rivals. The Black Diamond Trophy is on the line. The Hokies have not scored an offensive touchdown against West Virginia in three years. In 2003, VPI came in ranked and went home spanked. 2005 will be no different. West Virginia 24 Va. Tech 20. 3. SMU at Marshall The Herd is very young. UCF gave them a wake-up call. Marshall does not lose at home usually. SMU beat TCU but lost to Tulane unimpressively. Marshall 30 SMU 17. 4. South Carolina at Auburn Auburn should win a close game at home. Auburn 24 South Carolina 21. 5. Texas at Missouri The Horns will Hook'EM. This is the year Texas finally gets it done in the Big 12. Texas 34 Missouri 17. 6. Mississippi at Tennessee The Vols will be playing with less prep time for this game but Knoxville will insure a win; 100,000 fans have that effect. Tennessee 27 Ole Miss 14. 7. UCF at UL-Lafayette The monkey is off their backs. The Golden, Knights have no trouble here. UCF 38 ULL 13. 8. USF at Miami Good chance for the Bulls to show they were a bet- ter replacement for Miami. Can the Bulls do it on back-to-back weekends? Going out on a limb here. USF 17 Miami 14. 9. Minnesota at Penn State Battle of two solid Big 10 teams look- ing to break into the elite status of the conference. Paterno needs a big year. He looks physically fit but one wonders if a good year would bring retire- ment? PSU 31 Minn. 30. 10. Michigan at Michigan State A must-watch game in the Big 10. The Spartans have a chance to ruin Michigan's season. They will love it in East Lansing. MSU 31 Michigan 24. 11. Middle Tennessee State at Vanderbilt The Commodores go to 5- 0. Vandy is tied for the lead in the SEC! This could be a year for a bowl game for a great school. Vandy 41 MTSU 17. 12. LSU at Mississippi State The Tigers were shooting for a shot at. USC. Time will tell what effect Katrina will have in the long run. LSU 35 Miss State 14. 13. Syracuse at FSU Orange will have their hands full at Doak. FSU 38 Syracuse 13. 14.

Douglas All I personally know about fibromyalgia is from a friend who has. |been its .ictim for many years. I know she has suffered excruciating pain ,and it has robbed her of limb strength. I also.know her prescriptions have .some serious side effects. I know a lot of my readers probably have fibromyalgia, because most f us are in the same generation and, that is usually when it rears its ugly head. . Because I know from my friend fibromyalgia is a very- debilitating dis- ,.ease, I thought this piece by a victim would make interesting reading for 'those who are victims of the disease. The lady's name is Mary and she live rin Atlanta, Ga. S "I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and COPD three years ago. Prior kto that the only health problem that I had was migraine headaches. In-the 'I falI of 2001, my condition became much worse. I was unable to sleep more than an hour at a time, and I was up and dov n all night. I woke each morn- ming extremely stiff throughout my complete body. I would run hot water over my hands until I was actually able to turn the shower on to take a hot shower massage or a hot bath. I tried everything I could think of and any- 'thing that anyone suggested. S "Finally, in October. my doctor put me on disability from work because I could not stand up straight or walk without holding onto the wall or a rail. Additional medicines were added. I was now taking 13 medicines and not getting much relief. I was taking anti-inflammatories, two different anti- ,depressants, medicine for irritable bowel syndrome, muscle relaxants, three $different pain medications, medicine to put me asleep and keep me asleep, and two different inhalers for my COPD plus migraine medicines and, finallyl, medication to overcome the stomach problems all the other med- ications had caused. "I though my life as I had always knowing was over. I decided I had to find a way to become myself again. Then a friend of mine sent me a bottle of mangosteen juice. After a month on the mangosteen juice I'm no longer ,taking any prescribed medication, I am pain free, my depression is gone. I leep all night, every night and have so much energy." \ Following is a suggestion for my readers. If you have high-speed internet, and you probably do if you live in town, then write a letter on behalf of us unfortunate citizens who chose to live outside the three-mile imit. Those of us who have computers and choose to live more than three .miles outside the city limits cannot get DSL service because Sprint decides .who will get it and when. It has been suggested by StratoNet a mail-in campaign could be effec- ive. A letter addressed to Sprint, Avon Park. FI 33825 c/o Engineering Should reach them. Pause for thought: I heard a beautiful Christian song last night.that 'really made me think on it. Did you know you and I are God's priority? I knew He loves all us creatures, but.I never realized I was one of His prior- ities. , Have a happy week. 4D The Herald-Advocate, September 29, 2005 WILDCATS Continued From 1B yard scamper. A host of defenders shared hon- ors. Redden was joined by Jose Salvadore with 10 tackles, two sacks and three big hits. Ricky Wiggins added 9.5 tackles, three for a loss. Jackson Frenot had a caused fumble and an interception to go with a half dozen tackles. Jackson Mosely also picked off a Bartow pass to stop a possible scor- ing drive. Rich caused a fumble and had a key pass breakup. Others on the tackle list were Johnny Ray Harris (who also had a fumble recovery), Pierre Lazarre, Garrett Randall and Will Krause. Defensive coordinator John Sharp was tentatively proud of his squad. "They let them get behind us for passes a couple of times. Other than that, they had a pretty good game, especially Redden and Salvadore," said Sharp. With its loss to Hardee, Bartow drops to 3-2, beating George Jenkins, Auburndale and Ridge Community, while losing to Kathleen and Hardee. Friday's game started with the Wildcat cheerleaders imploring the Cats to "Swat the Yellow Jackets." For three quarters, it was hard to tell who had the advantage. Bartow elected to receive, but coughed up the ball on the second play, with Harris recovering it for Hardee. The Cats went backward on a penalty, and were short on a fourth-down pass play, giving the ball back to.Bartow on its 20-yard line. Eight plays later, the Jackets were ready to punt, but a roughing- the-kicker penalty gave Bartow a first down. With that momentum, the Jackets went the final two dozen yards. Soph Jamal Darling caught a 23-yard pass from junior quarterback Devarius Cook, The Jimmy Delf kick was good. Bartow led 7-0 with nearly five minutes left in the first quarter. Hardee was forced to punt on its next series and Krause boomed a 49-yarder. Bartow started well, but a Frenot interception gave the ball back to Hardee. The Cats moved downfield as the quarter changed. Finally, a fake to Hodges and Palmer unleashed a pass to King in the end zone. The Pablo Anselmo * kick was good, tying the game at 7- 7.

Hardee had first possession in the second half, eating up over four minutes in an 11-play drive. A Cimeus 18-yard run and 10-yard pass to King put the Cats at the one. Tough yardage senior Gilliard shoved over for.the tally. Anselmo made it 14-7. A 34-yard pass play put Bartow in good position as the water break gave the Jackets time to plan. Cook eluded defenders for a 27-yard gain. Two plays later, Willie Henderson went in for the score and the Delf kick evened the game at 14-all. Hardee went in the hole on back- to.back penalties and was forced to punt. As the game went into' the final period, Hardee got the punt at its 26-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Rich cut through the line and raced ahead of defend- ers for a 74-yard score. Anselmo made it 21-14. Despite its best efforts, Bartow was unable to score. The teams exchanged turnovers. The Hardee crowd came alive as the clock stopped for the water break. As the clock wound under the two-minute mark, Hardee's Mosely intercepted a Bartow pass. After making a first down, Palmer was able to take a knee and let time run out. "Don't take anything away from Bartow. It's a good football team and played Hardee hard. We've got to fix the turnovers and penalties. We made adjustments at halftime. We couldn't get much momentum all evening, but we weren't ready to throw in the towel when they got momentum," said a relieved coach Bryan. "This is what you coach for. That's the best team since we played Dunbar last year. It was weird being tied or losing at half- time and being tied later in the game. Our guys did a good job not quitting when it would have been easy to," concluded Bryan. 4~.Vid - ...~ ~4-. Junior Josh Mayer blocked a punt and recovered the ball for the Wildcats.

Sept. 23, Angel Rodriguez Castro, 74, of 3151 Dixiana Drive, Bowling Cops For Christ By Barry L. Schnable Hardee County Sheriff's Office Sergeant FOR THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC The most important rule in life from God is The Golden Rule. Matthew 7:12 says, "So in everything,, do to others what you would have ,them do to-you." I recently returned from a trip to hurricane-battered Mississippi, where , a team of us from the -Sheriff's Office, Public Works and the Wauchula Police Department responded to aid a county in need of assistance. The area we went to sustained some damage, though nothing like the coastal counties had, and was certainly in need. We were there to assist them in anyway that we could, knowing what it was like to try to operate a county that had gone weeks without power and had limited supplies. Members of the local government, mnot having gone through anything this devastating before, were having differences of opinions and perspec- tives amongst themselves. It was understandable, since there was a lot of aid through their county to more devastated areas, but not stopping to help their county. Before being deployed to Mississippi, I, like all of you, watched help- lessly as the citizens of New Orleans in the Superdome seemed to be aban- doned by our own government. It appeared that no one was coming to help them, and to some extent they weren't. In Mississippi I noticed that the governmental agencies' differences of opinions and perspectives crippled their ability to effectively work together, and the public was suffering because of it. In Mississippi, New Orleans and, I'm sure, in several other forgotten towns in that region, the good of the public did not appear to be the main concern. In desperate times people become self-preserving, but as public, servants we can't afford to allow that to happen. President Bush even stat- ed that laws need to be amended so that federal response could happen quickly without so many obstacles. Even the president could see problems within the government organization. I see too many times political figures so concerned about how they are. going to look, what people are going to say about how they handle situa- tions and other various selfish concerns that they lose sight of the people they serve. God wants us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. We all need to keep Gods commandments and put others before our own selfishness. If God is first in your life and all that you do, this will become second nature and, for public servants like me, the good of the public will be served. I, and the others who volunteered to go to Mississippi, realized on this trip that above all we are public servants. We must be concerned about the public when responding in times of disaster as well as any other calls for assistance. We all must put aside our differences and work together to get the job done. In discussing the events from last year, I know all of us realized that , improvements could be made in our own community and between agencies, even though we all worked exceptionally well together last year to serve the public under unprecedented circumstances. I have always believed that we have a great community in Hardee County and last year that was proven, true by everyone's response to our disaster, neighbor helping neighbor unselfishly. After visiting other areas I know that our community is the best and next time, though we pray there will never be a next time, we will do it that much better and the good of the public we be served first and foremost. I want to recognize our team who volunteered to respond, leaving their families to help others and making personal sacrifices to help those in need Sin Mississippi: Lt. Rosie Wendell, Sgt. James Adler, Det. Andrew McGuckin, Dep. Micah Hendrickson, Capt. Dennis Lake, Sgt. Thomas Harris, Mark Frazier and Byron Allison. God bless them, their families and the all the people who have suffered because of this disaster.

Q: My husband and I have been happily married for years. but, lately it just seems like we are both so busy we barely have time for each other. I miss the old days when we lived for the romance. I know we both have a busy schedule but how can we rekindle the fire we once had. I don't want to wake up one day and realize my marriage is gone. Signed, Longing for Romance A: We can take this question all the way back to Genesis. Back to Adam and you know his wife Eve; she's the one we ladies blame all our labor pains on. After God created the world and all of its splendor and glory He creat- ed man on the sixth day. Man would be the master over all the living-crea- tures. God loved man and longed for fellowship with Him but he noticed that Adam would become very lonely with just animals to spend his life with. He'd be the one doing all the talking. Although animals make good pets they could never satisfy the full needs in the heart of mankind. So, God took a rib from Adam and used it to create a helpmate for him, a wife. God didn't take a foot bone which would meant woman was under his foot, nei- ther did God take a bone from his head which would indicate woman was over man. But, he chose a bone closest to the heart. This indicates the undy- S- ; ing, unconditional heart-felt love man would have for his wife. They would e be-partners, loving one another and meeting each other's needs. I believe a marriage is a gift from God. This gift must be treasured and 0tie protected. Never take it for granted. I firmly believe that the man is the head atieto of the house, the priest of the home and the woman is to be submissive to her husband but he should never take that for granted and walk all over her. Man should'love his wife as Christ loved the church so much that He was tice, willing to die for it. The woman, on the other hand, should bring her hus- cca e'band love, honor and respect. and Before a marriage can work it takes two people doing their part. Neither can become selfish, preoccupied or self-indulged in the things of with life. Never let the excitement, the zeal, the romance become a niemory or a niors thing in the past. Don't let your fire go out. iton, The devil is always working to divide families. We must always be and cautious and watch out for his pitfalls and fiery darts. Never let an argument dek, last long enough to become a problem. Make up quickly and always be rtson willing to forgive. Communicate often because unsaid words can grow deep and take root, becoming a wild weed that will choke the life out of your marriage. But always be careful what you yell in anger, words cut deep and are hard to forget. It's better to stay silent, if possible, so you have no regrets later. Let him have the last word just to settle the argument. Also, never make him feel less of a man in front of his friends. Don't wait until you get around his friends to discuss his shortcomings or to cut him down. M I suggest that you make a move to begin doing something special for your husband. No matter how busy you are, you must squeeze in special time for each other. You can't wait on him to make the move toward rekin- dling the fire. If you sense you're on the verge of losing the romance in your marriage, then do something quickly. Sometimes, you have to start with a spark, and then a little flame, to allow your relationship to take full blaze. Don't expect a lot at first. You must keep working on it. Remember mar- riage is a gift from God. Treat it as one. Genesis 2:23 & 24 "And Adam said, this is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.". S.
