AERIAL ACADEMICS


Main Street




'Season' Opens




This Weekend


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
If you're in a selling, or buying,
mood, you need to be in downtown
Wauchula on Saturday.
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

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.

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

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

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-

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.

Q: Why do I hear that being'
overweight increases a person's
risk of cancer?
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.

Bay St. Louis, an upscale water-
front area a lot like Channel-side in
Tampa, wvas nearly destroyed b. the,
30-foot storm surge. Waveland a
small town like Wauchula, also was
nearly leveled by the'storm.
"The hurricane made landfall on
July 29, and we got there on
September 6. When we arrived
there was no electricity or tele-
phones. Nothing," said Shepard.
"The county was 90% damaged
from the wind and 30-foot storm
surge that went five miles inland,"
he added.
According to Shepard. no public
.buildings survived except the
Hancock County Schools complex,
which consists of a high, middle
and vocational school. The team
called this home for the time they
were there. Staying with them were
thousands of troops from every
branch of the military.
Along with the usual groups, the
U.S. Coast Guard was there to
recover fuel tankers that had been
washed inland by the storm surge.
"Luckily, the Manatee County
Sheriff's Office brought its mobile
kitchen unit, so six out of the seven
days we had a hot breakfast and
dinner. Although, I did get tired of
eating bologna sandwiches for
lunch," Shepard joked.
"It was very rewarding to help
these folks, and I was proud to rep-
resent Hardee County and Florida,"
he said.

Volleyball In Battle
O e~y.aI


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee High volleyball is learn-
ing to war with the best of them.
The Hardee girls carried
Frostproof to five games last
-Monday and went to four at home
against Sebring before succumbing
in straight sets at Sarasota Booker.
The girls played at home on
Tuesday against Avon Park and
host Braden River tonight
(Thursday). The junior varsity
plays at 6 and the varsity about
7:30 p.m.
-Next week, it is a trio of games,
Monday at home for a visit from
Bartow, a team Hardee beat on its
own court a couple of weeks ago,
Hardee goes to Heartland Christian
next Tuesday and to Palmetto on
Thursday, Oct. 6.
The last week of the season splits
games, at Frostproof on Oct 10 and
home for Lake Placid on Oct. 11 for
senior night, when Heather
McKinney, Santresa Harris and
Micaela Hall will be honored.
District playoffs are at DeSoto
the week of Oct. 18. Teams in Class
4A-District 10 are Hardee, Avon
Park, Booker, Braden River,
DeSoto, Palmetto and Sebring. ,.
"We scored more total points
than they did, but we lost thp
match." Coach Ken Leupold
described the five-set marathon at
home against Frostproof, last
Monday.
Hardee won the opener 25-23.
McKinney had a half dozen service
points, including the game winner.
D. K. Davis also served six points,
while Bethany Lang and Sarah
Mahoney each had four. Amber
Miller had seven service points for
the Lady Bulldogs.
Game two went to Frostproof 25-
22 behind the 10 service points of
Faith Franklin. Davis topped
Hardee with eight service points.
Frostproof also took game three
25-23, with Miller and Franklin
again pacing the Lady Dawgs.
McKinney, Davis and Mahoney led
Hardee's effort.
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.

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

There has not been a deadline

Patrick Mahoney.

RITA'S RAINS SLOWED SOME FIELD ACTIVITY
Hurricane Rita's outer bands brought heavy rains to the extreme south-
ern Peninsula and to the extreme western Panhandle as it moved northwest
through the Gulf of Mexico during the week of Sept. 19-25. 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

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.

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
A Bowling Green father who left
large bruises after spanking his
young son has been arrested.
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.

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.

Alexa
Alexa, you remind us of innocence we once had ...
All this torment can make one so sad
You're our little star way up in the sky .
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

'A little fellow said to me, "Mr.
Guido, three frogs sat on a log,
and one decided to jump. How
many were left?"
"Two," I answered.
"You're wrong," he corrected.
"The third only cdeided to jump.
But he didn't."
That's what I like about the
prodigal He not only'decided to
turn from his filth to his father, but
he did!
The Bible says,; "While he was
still a long distance away, his
father saw him coming, and with
loving pity ran and embraced
him,"
You've decided to turn from
your sins to the Savior, haven't
you? Now take your step, and
you'll find .that He'll run lto meet
.you with loving pity:
You're coming now, aren't you?

Each year, five senior boys are inducted into Lionettes, the all-girl high school branch of the
Lion's Club. The nominated boys raise money for a week, and the five who raise the most are
inducted. This year the boys raised $2,500. TheLionettes decided to give the money to Annie and
Rahul Aguarwal, who lost everything in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina. Annie
(Shackelford) is a Hardee High School graduate, a former Lionette, and was president of the
Lionettes her senior year. The Lion's Club of Wauchula donated another $500, making a total of
$3,000 to give to the Aguarwal family. Pictured (from left) is sweetheart Daniel Moore, Annie

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

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.

Love cannot survive if you just
give it scraps of yourself, scraps
of your time, scraps of your
thoughts.

Sports Sense
& Nonsense
By Joan Seaman


WOW! 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.
Information from community and school athletic events is always welcome.

JV Cats Crush



Dragons 42-14


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee junior varsity
Wildcats got a big win in Lake
Placid last Thursday night.
The junior Cats took the game to
the junior Green Dragons on their
field in a 42-14 win, which was 28-
8 at halftime.
"We got in the Win Column. We
got everybody in the game. It was a
good win. 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.

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!

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.

Cats Sting Jackets; Visit Streaks Next


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats forced five
turnovers in taking a 21-14 victory
from the upset-minded Bartow
Yellow Jackets on Friday night.
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.
Special teams Player of The
Week was junior Josh Mayer, who
had' two big tackles on Bartow
kickoff returns and a blocked punt
as well.
Weston Palmer was 7-of-9 for 57
yards and one TD. Rich had one

County/Union Agree On Contract


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The local employees union and
the county completed their annual'
contract last week.
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

ad valorem taxes and the annual
fire assessment and was now asked
to pay inspection fees. 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. "It's succinct, really good
and will go to thousands of peo-
ple," said Economic Development
Director Park Winter.

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo

Well, Football Fans, it has been a September to remember. 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. Notre Dame at Purdue The Irish have caught the attention of the
country with Weis coaching. This is an in-state rivalry as well. Purdue
bounces back with a win. Purdue 33 Nortre Dame 27.
15. Southern Miss at East Carolina Skip Holtz is trying to revive a

Freda's Foibles
By Freda B. 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.

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.

Back and forth the teams went,
but at halftime it was still a tie
game.
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.

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.

H-4d the "spitit"ot B.C. I-ortes been lingering over the springtime meetings
of, Main Street Wauchula ? The organization had numerous seeds planted
this past spring, and the harvest is just beginning!
How appropriate that our first seed, a monthly Farmers Market, begins
this Saturday at the Main Street "lot" on U.S. 17 South across from Earnest
Plaza.
Vendors will be selling prime specimens of local produce, jams, jellies,:
pies, plants and fresh flowers. The market will run from 8 am. till noon or
when the produce runs out! Be sure .to come early for the best pickins'.
Also, check out the original (and. en% ironmentally fricndly "Main Street
Farmers Market': bags availablee for sale.
Mark your calendars to visit downtown the first Saturday of every
month. The market wi ll reflect the seasonal specialties so each and every
month's offerings will varn according to the availability of the product. If
you or a friend would like to market your green thumb, please contact the
Mair Street office at (863) 767-0330. ,
Looking for something to cook those fruits and vegetables in? Wander
dowit to our first-ever community Tag Sale. Similar to a garage sale, this
Heritage Park & Se% enth A' enue event will-hopefully provide many of our
citizens the opportunity to mo'e their "well-loved' items from their garage
to your home.
If you're in active declutter mode, the next stop should be a booth on
Main Street. This Tag Sale can clear your clutter and score some holiday
cash or, as a buyer, get.you started on some economically sound gift items.
Several of our local merchants. Royal's, Cat's, Jolie\', Main Street Market
and Ja'a Cafe, will be participating with booths of rock-bottom deals at the
Farmers Market and the Tag Sale.
When Mr. Forbes itientioned happiness. he was thinking of the sweet
sounds of Music in the Park, scheduled for the third Fridays of each month
beginning Nov. 18. Does anything bring back memories like a familiar
hymn or song? Make a few memories downtown on Fridays with some of
our local arid-area talent. And if the music starts youdancing, all the better!
Music, Farmiers Markets, Tag Sales, the memorable Grillin' & Chillin',
traditional Cracker'Heritage Day and Paws in the Park are all seeds plant-
ed this spring by the new officers and Board of Directors of Main Street.
These promising traditions are not possible without the.continued help
of the amazing Main Street volunteers. There are so many new events
planned that helping hands are always welcome in order that Main Street
successfully continue with its goal of revitalizing dow ntion. If you can
donate an hour, or many hours, we would d lo'e to have you become part of
our team. Call or come by the Main Street Wauchula office in Historic City
Hall, 225 E. Main St., or mention N our willingriess to any of our merchants
or board members.
Mr. Forbes said to belhiee'in yourself, your neighbors.and your work

: WHERE DID THE ROMANCE'GO?
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.".
