Hardee Lakes Park Opens 2 More Lakes


S.COURTESY PHOTO
The final two lakes at Hardee Lakes Park, off Ollie Roberts Road northwest of Fort Green, are now open. Boat fishing requires
reservations, but bank fishing, picnicking and hiking are available for a $2 per vehicle admission fee.


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Pick your spot. They're all open
now!
The Hardee County Commission
has approved opening the final pair
of lakes at the 1,200-acre Hardee
Lakes Park. Boat and bank fishing
are now available at all four lakes
'on weekends but the number of
boats on each lake is limited.,
For reservations, on a first-come;
first-served basis, call 773-6788 on
Monday after 6 p.m. for Saturday
fishing and Tuesdays after 6 p.m.
for Sunday fishing. For other infor-
mation on the lakes, call 773-3419
during business hours.
Rules limit fishing to sunshine
bass, bluegill and redear.sunfish for
panfish, black crappies, catfish and
similar species. Black bass caught
must be returned to the lake under
the catch and release requirements.
Lists of park rules and fishing reg-
ulations issued by the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, which operates it as a
fish management area, are provided
when entering' the park.
Admission to the park is $2 per
vehicle. Boaters are asked to get a
permit and complete a creel card or
angler report form listing species
and, limits caught. Those under 16
or over 65 don't need a fishing
license. All others do.
The four lakes and recreational


areas surrounding them were beau-
tifully restored after phosphate
mining. The park, opened in
January 2004, has seen continual
improvements under a pair of
$200,000 Florida Recreation
Development Assistance Program
(FRDAP) grants.
Picnic tables, restrooms and
parking areas are complete as is a
manager's residence. No alcoholic
beverages are allowed on county
property, including the park. No
open fires are permitted and grills
must be supervised at all times.
The passive recreation park
includes four lakes and adjoining
wetlands and woodlands which are
now home to many native species.
The 21 species vary from laurel and
live oaks to maples, poplar, cedar,
cherry and sabal palms, cypress and
elms.
Eventually the park will include
a series of boardwalks, bird-watch-
ing stations, horseback and hiking
trails, a ranger's station, fishing
piers and primitive camping sites.
To get to Hardee Lakes Park, go
west on SR 62 and take either John
Gill Road, which becomes Ollie
Roberts Road where the park gate
is about two-tenths of a mile on the
left, or go north on CR 663 and turn
on Ollie Roberts. The park entrance
is about a mile down on the right-
hand side of the road.

Council


Election


Canceled
By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
The municipal election set for
Nov. 8 in Zolfo Springs has been
canceled.
By Friday's end to a week-long
qualifying period for potential can-
didates, only the incumbents had
applied. With no challengers,
there can be no race.
Returning to their seats on the
Zolfo Springs Town Council for
another two years will be Maggie
Belcher and Roberta Meyer.
Belcher, who holds Seat 4, is a
veteran of the council table. She
was first .elected to office in
December of 1996.
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.
In fact, after a long history of no
elections, 'that race and the one
immediately before it drew a sur-
prising number of candidates.

FCAT Released Tests," click on "Test Book" in the "Reading" and
"Mathematics" columns.
There are also links for the "Answer Key" and "How To Score The
,FCAT Released Tests."
Under state requirements, students must pass the Florida
Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) in order to graduate from
high school. Students not passing it receive only a certificate of com-
pletion and are not included in the graduation ceremonies because
they are not receiving a diploma.
Beginning in 10th grade, teens have six opportunities to pass the
FCAT, which consists of two portions, reading and mathematics.
Each portion takes two to four.hours to complete. The parent tests
provided on the website are a bit shorter and do not take as long.
To take a good look at the sample tests, each was printed out and
taken by Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones, Publisher Jim Kelly,
Managing Editor Cynthia Krahl and Sports Editor Joan Seaman.
Some others contacted declined, quite hesitant to tackleit.
The reading test is five fairly long articles and a poem (sample
included), each followed by at least a half dozen multiple-choice
questions to test your comprehension. The 56 questions vary from
low to moderate to high in difficulty.


After checking results on the "Answer Key" participants can go to
a page which tells how to read the scores. It says students must score
at least 300 on the test in order to get a diploma. Since the essay por-
tions are missed, the achievement levels based on the multiple-point
questions only is given.
In the reading test, only a Level 2, 31-37 correct answers for the
56 questions, has to be achieved. Less than 30 correct answers would
require retaking'the test or failing to graduate. Level 3 is 38-41 cor-
rect answers, Level 4 is 42-43 correct answers and Level 5 is 44 or
above.
Not surprising, Jones, who is a former Latin teacher and librarian,
scored the highest, missing only one answer of the 56 possibilities.
Kelly and Krahl each had five wrong answers and Seaman had six,
all scoring at Level 5.
The math test was another matter, since it has been at least 30
years since most of us have had math instruction. A basic calculator
could be used and formulas were provided for many computations,
such as area or volume. In many cases, that didn't help a bit. (Easy
samples are attached).
Again, students needed only a Level 2, 16-24 correct out of 50

STRAIGHT ROAD


PHOTO BY RALPH HARRISON
A nearly four-month detour on U. S. 17 North is over. The new road, which only opened in January, was closed June 13 when a
50-year-old drainage arch collapsed. Repairs are mostly completed. The right lane is still blocked off while work continues on the
arch replacement. Drivers, however, will no longer have to navigate several turns as they head north through the county.

er. Historically, persistent grove owners who care for their trees are suc-
cessful over the long haul.

Weekend


Accidents


Injure 2

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
A pair of accidents within 24
hours sent two drivers to the hospi-
tal.
One crash occurred Friday about
8:20 p.m in the south end of the
county, while another was Saturday
about 4:20 p.m. east of Wauchula.
According to Florida Highway
Patrol reports, the first was a sin-
gle-vehicle accident which sent its
driver to Florida Hospital
Wauchula in serious condition. Tpr.
James K. Cloud's report said it
occurred when Mark Reichenbach,
35, of Wauchula, was driving his
2002 Ford north on U. S. 17 and
went off the east shoulder near Fish
Branch Road. He collided with a
culvert and a road sign. He was
wearing a seat belt. Charges are
pending further investigation, said
Cloud.
The Saturday accident involved
two vehicles. According to FHP
Cpl. Rene Benavidez, Anavelia J.
Salinas, 33, of 608 Cypress St.,
Wauchula, was driving a 1999 two-
door Chrysler west on James,
Cowart Road,, approaching the
intersection with Boyd Cowart
Road.
She apparently failed to stop at
the intersection and entered the
path 'of a 1996 Oldsmobile four-
door, driven by Bruce Eaton, 34, of
1473 Hollandtown Road, Wau-
chula. He was unable to avoid the
first vehicle and they, both spun
around. Hardee Fire-Rescue trans-
ported Salinas to Florida Hospital
Heartland in. serious condition. She
was charged with running a stop
sign. Eaton was charged with dri-
ving while license suspended and
no insurance.
Both drivers were wearing seat
belts. Eaton was uninjured.

"It was well worth the trip."
Head coach Rod Smith summed
up the junior varsity 32-14 football
win at Kissimmee Osceola suc-
cinctly.
"I am so proud of our kids and
the coaches who got on them to
keep to fundamentals and disci-
pline. We shut down their wideout
and their tailback got loose only
once," continued Smith.

finale is Oct. 27 at Sebring.




COUNCIL
Continued From 1A
In all, four people ran for the
vacancy created when council
member Susan Hulsey resigned in
order to run for the county office of

Green prevailed in a runoff with
Cimmino.
Then, three people qualified to
run for office in the attempt to fill
Pollock's vacant seat, Meyer,
Cimmino and Rhonda Caswell.
That election was May 16. The
runoff was a month later.
Now, Zolfo Springs has returned
to the trend of past years, where no
one but the incumbents applies.

Dear Editor,
As interim chairman of the.To.wn

the 2006 budget for the town of
Zolfo Springs, 1 feel the necessity
to apologize for a very blatant over-
sight on my part.
. Our final 2006 budget meeting,
for the approval of the budget, was
held on September 27, 2005. The
budget had been published in the
newspaper, according to the law,
brought before the council twice,
(presented, then voted and
approved), and a citizen in atten-
dance at the meeting pointed out
that there was a mistake of approx-
imately $540.
The mistake has been corrected,
and the correct procedure will be
done to make sure the citizens do
not think that they are- being mis-


Dear Customer, "
The rapid rise in the cost of oil
has dominated headlines for sever-
al months, and the impact is being
felt in many areas of our daily lives,
most notably at the fuel pump.
Most businesses, from grocery and
department stores to delivery ser-
vices and landscapers, are also
faced with these rising costs, and
are forced to pass higher costs
along to consumers.
The increases in gasoline prices
are only part of the story. Since
1999, the cost of natural gas has
also skyrocketed, by more than 600
percent. Consider that all of
Florida's utilities use natural gas
for a significant part of their gener-
ation, and you can see how rising
fuel costs are impacting your elec-
tricity bill as well. Florida uses nat-
ural gas for nearly 40 percent of its
electric generation.
Florida's electric utilities, includ-
ing Wauchula City Electric work
constantly to minimize the effect
rising costs have on customer's
bills. But despite their best efforts,
no utility large or small, public
or private can absorb the kind of
skyrocketing costs we have seen in
recent years.
The causes of these increases are
many, but for the most part fuel
prices have increased due to limited
supplies in the United States along
with increased demand worldwide.
As the Gulf Coast picks up the
pieces following Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita, the cost of fuel
may fluctuate even more because
of the temporary closing of refiner-
ies affected by the storms.

Because we can't control the
market value of fuel, most public;
providers are undertaking innona -

do not bear the full brunt of such a

are turning to alternate types of fuel'

A pair of 2005 Hardee graduates
are still receiving honors from their
high school days.
Shayla Bryan and Aaron Himrod
were recently named as AP
Scholars with Honor by the College
Board which rewards students
which earn an average grade of at
least 3.25 on all Advanced
Placement exams taken and grades
of 3 or. higher on four or more of
these exams.
Successful completion of
Advanced Placement (AP) chal-
lenging college-level courses while
still in high school enables students
to receive college credit. The
College Board programs include
the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT and the
AP program which 3,500 colleges
use in admission and enrollment
guidance.
High school students can earn up
to a full year's credit and enter as
sophomores through completing
several of the 34 AP exams offered
in a wide variety of subject areas.
At least a three on an exam earns
three college credit hours. Earning
a four on the exam can result in six
college credit hours.
Aaron, the son of Joe and Sherri
Himrod of Bowling Green, was one
of four valedictorians in the Class
of 2005. He completed high school
with a 4.65 cumulative grade point
average. He earned six credit hours
in AP biology and English and
three in English Literature and
Composition. He also took dual
enrollment chemistry I and II, cal-
culus and physics.
A member of the National Honor
Society, band, varsity football cap-
tain, three-year member of the
baseball team, Himrod also was a
Heisman High School nominee,
and earned the Coca Cola Bottler's
Academic Award for excellence,
American.Legion academic award,
and science and mathematics
awards.
He is enrolled in the honors pro-
gram at Florida State University,
Tallahassee.
Shayla, the daughter of Tommy
and Brenda Bryan of New Zion,
earned three credit hours in
European History, World History
and English Literature and
Composition.
She also took dual, enrollment
courses in algebra and statistics.
She completed high school-with

age, earning salutatorian status.
A four-year member of the Blue
Star Brigade, Shayla was also a

HJHS Football


Stopped By Storm


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The game ended shortly after the
second quarter began.
Hardee was leading 6-0 when
officials called the junior high
school football game against
Frostproof last Tuesday.
Head coach Gregg White said
early this week that he did not
believe it would be rescheduled.
Since Hardee was leading and had
possession at the time the game
was stopped, Hardee considers it a
win.
"We were going well, subbing
freely, getting people in the game,
moving the ball well, when the ref-
erees stopped the game, said
White.
This week's game was at Sebring
Middle School. The Oct. 11 game
is also in Sebring, but at Hill-Gustat '
Middle School. There is a game at
Lake Placid on Oct. 18 before the
season finale at home on Oct. 25
against DeSoto. There will be
BBQ chicken dinners on sale
before the game.
In last week's game, Frostproof
had the ball first with Eddie Smith


returning it 24 yards to start at the
Bulldog 45. The next three plays
were ineffective.
Jake Mayer handled the punt and
was downed almost immediately.
He ran the ball ahead a yard and
lost a yard. Quarterback Caleb Reas
passed to John Gordon for a first
down. A face mask penalty on
Frostproof got Hardee to the
Bulldog 31. Jacob Nowakowski
gained two yards, but a fumble
turned the ball back to Frostproof.
A penalty pushed Frostproof
back to its 11-yard line. A tackle by
David Richardsop made a loss of
four more yards. Mayer then inter-
cepted a pass and rambled 20 yards
into the end zone. A conversion run
fell short of the goal line.
The teams traded possessions
again as the first quarter ended.
Hardee was moving along with
runs by Kelsheem White and
Antjuan Jones, and had reached the
Frostproof 24 when the weather
turned stormy and officials stopped
the game.
Staff writer Jim Kelly contributed
to this report.

seventh inning.
Hardee came back on Sept. 26 to
crush Hill-Gustat 20-2 on its field.
The junior Lady Cats scored in
every inning for the lopsided victo-
ry.
Clark scored in the first inning as
she walked and advanced along the
base paths on a passed ball, stolen
base and wild pitch. Hardee led 1-
0. Hill-Gustat made it 2-1 with a
pair of scores in the home half of
the first inning on a pair of hits, an
error and a fielder's choice. That
was all the scoring for Hill-Gustat,
which stranded runners in the next
five innings.
In the second inning, Hardee
went in front 3-2 when Courtney
Chason and Lindy Rossman and
came around to score on a Steedley
hit.
, A half dozen Hardee runners
scored in the third inning. Clark,
Amber Hines, ,Caitlin Chason,
Marissa Shivers, Rossman and
Krause circled the bases, aided by
:another Steedley hit.
Mahoney and Halley Marshall
came around to cross home plate in
'the fourth stanza, an error on a


Lenora Shoffner allowing them to
keep running.
Hardee's final scores came in the
fifth inning, when 14 batters went
to the plate and nine came home.
Walks, hits and an error did the
trick, leading to Hardee's win on
the fifth-inning mercy rule.
On Sept. 29, Hardee was at home
to face Sebring. The junior Lady
Cats were able to avenge their
opening loss to Sebring, taking this
,game 7-2.
After Sebring went three up,
three down to start the game,
Hardee bounded ahead with a half
dozen first-inning scores. Walks, an
error and a Courtney Chason hit
kept runners moving around the
basepaths.
Hardee padded its lead by a run
in the second inning, Christina
Garza singled to left and Clark
socked one down the third base
line. A fielder's choice by Marshall
allowed Garza to come home.
Hardee stranded runners in the
rest of the game. Sebring, however,
couldn't capitalize and brought
'only two runners to home plate. A
walk and triple, followed by an
error gave Sebring its only runs.


Deal Me Out!

H rardee urug Abuse Preventi Con .u Coalitioin -- .

ALCOHOL: THE NO.1 DRUG OF CHOICE,
:- Good news! Prevention works!
The 2004 National Survey on Drug Use & Health, released Sept. 8,;
indicates that he efforts across the-country to keep kids off illicit drugs are
having a positive effect on America's youth. Illicit drug use has decreased
from 2002 to 2004.
So, parents, teachers and community members who make it their busi-
ness to spread the message to youth that drug use is unacceptable and not a'
healthy choice, pat yourselves on the back and keep up the good work.
But the news for Hardee County is not all good.
Unfortunately, there is e% idence that we need to work harder to change
the community norm that drinking is somehow a rite of passage.
The 2004 Florida Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the national survey
both confirm that alcohol is the number one drug of choice for youth. One
reason is the ease of access. Many young people obtain their first taste of
alcohol at home, because it is often found right next to the milk. This may
happen without the knowledge or consent of the parents.
The Florida survey indicated that when compared with the state as a,
whole, there. is a higher percentage of middle and high school students in
Hardee County using alcohol on a regular basis.
One of the most effective tools in prevention is a clear message from
parents regarding their disapproval of any kind of experimentation.
o Adults need to have facts and sound reasons for rules given to young
people if we expect the rules to be followed. Growing up in today's rapidly
changing society is a tough job. The information available to our children is
vastly different in content and volume than it wsas a generation ago.,

The Facts:',
-It is illegal for anyone under 21 to possess or consume alcohol.
*It is illegal for an adult to provide alcohol to minors.
.Experimentation, before the age of 21 results in a greater risk of some
type of addiction problem as an, adult.
*At age 11, the human brain begins another growth spurt that does not
end until about age 25. making the person more susceptible to addiction
than an adult.
Most people begin experimenting with alcohol and other drugs in an
effort to fit in with peers or to cope with situations in life that they feel inad-
equate to handle. Our conversation with youth needs to be as much about
how to cope with the ups and downs of life as it does about reasons for stay-
ing drug free and making healthy lifestyle choices.
Young people growing up today will have the opportunity to learn!
much more than ever before. While there is great pressure in our schools
today to teach a vast amount of information, the community as a whole
needs to step up to the plate and find ways to teach the coping skills thit are
so necessary to prevent poor decisions and risky behavior in life.

I'm Reminded
Everywhere we go we can be reminded of spiritual things in our
lives. In every walk of life God is there, and we should be aware
of His presence every day that we live. Here are some of the
ways I've been reminded of His presence:
As I drive down the road I'm reminded that Jesus said He is "the
way." John 14:6
As I pass a cemetery I'm reminded that He's the "resurrection
and the life." John 11:25
When I eat my food I'm reminded that He is the "bread of life"
and "He filleth the hungry soul with goodness." John 6:43,48
When I dress I'm reminded that Jesus said "He hath clothed me
with the garment of salvation and the robe of righteousness." Isa.
61:10
When I worry I have the promise of peace when Jesus said "My
peace I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled." John
14:27
When I'm afraid I remember that David said "what time I am
afraid I will trust in Thee." Psalms 56:30
When I shower I'm reminded that Jesus washed me from my
sins in His own blood. Rev. 1:5
When I think of all the troubles in the world I remember that
Jesus said "be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John
16:33
When I see the creek I remember that "He leadeth me beside the
still water." Psalms 23:2
When I see the snow it tells me that "we shall be whiter than
snow." Psalms 51:7
When I hear the birds sing I think of how Jesus told about His
Father's care for the fowls of the air and how much more He
cares for us. Luke 12:34
When I look at the grass I remember that "the grass withereth
and the flower fadeth, but God's word standeth forever." Isa.
40:8
When I look at the flowers I'm reminded that Jesus is the Rose
of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Song of Solomon 2:1
My house reminds me that Jesus said "in my Father's house are
many mansions, I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:1-5
When I see a tree I think of Jeremiah 17;8, God's people are like
a tree planted by the waters "and shall not be moved."
When I hear the wind I'm reminded that Jesus had power over
the winds and the. waves, and I know He can calm the storms in
my life. Matt. 8:26
When I think of death I'm reminded that Jesus "tasted death for
every.man" (Heb.2:9), that I have been planted in the likeness of
His death in baptism, (Rom. 6:5), that He has loosened the pains
of death, (Acts 2:24), that I have passed from death unto life,
(John 5:24), that I can say "0 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave,
where is thy victory?" 1 Cor. 15:55

When you say your prayers tonight, please remember God is above, I
not judging, just loving.

ugly and even
Jones pointed out' that actual
scoring 'of the student tests is
called pattern scoring, with the
number of misses not the only
factor, but the number of each
category (low, medium or high
difficulty) achieved counted.
S"It's like weighted scoring. For


instance, some parts of the read-
ing test are easy and could be
answered without referring back
to the text and some were more
difficult, causing me to go back
and reread that section," he com-
mented.
"Some of : the questions
seemed to have two answers. It,
seemed somewhat unfair," said
Kelly.
"The reading test was easier
than I expected, but a few ques-
tions were ambiguous. More
than one answer seemed correct.


However, the math test was
more complicated, but the grad-
ing allowed such wide attitude
that it was easy to pass," com-
mented Krahl.
'The reading 'test was fairly
good, but the math test was a
much more difficult challenge. I
can't say when was the last time
I did' anything other than simple
calculations," said Seaman.
What about you, our readers?
Get your courage up and take
the tests. Let us know how you

Cats Stifle Streaks; Rest This Week


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats put another
W in their collective pocket last
week.
Threatened early on, and trailing
as the fourth quarter ended, the
Cats rallied for a pair of scores to
beat Sebring 21-13 at Firemen's
Field.
"That was too close. They had
two weeks to prepare. We had come
off a big physical, emotional win
over Bartow and were flat. I didn't
prepare our guys emotionally for
this game very well," said Hardee
'head coach Derreh Bryan.
'They had had an open date and
ran a lot of new things at us, plus
the ball bounced really weird a cou-
ple of times. But our kids did a
great job of not giving up, of
pulling it out," exclaimed Bryan.
"When w'e went up 14-13, it gave
life to us. The series before we
were flying around on defense and
got charged up. Some of our guys
were playing hurt, fighting through
injuries, but kept going. Our block-
ers did an outstanding job, Jeremy
Kelly has become one of the most
consistent blockers.
"We're not used to being behind.
We made an attitude adjustment
and stepped up a bit in the fourth
quarter. Now we'll have to use our
open date to heal up a bit and pre-
pare for Avon Park," concluded
Bryan.
The 6-0 Cats will, indeed; rest a
bit, as they prepare for a strong fin-
ish for the 2005 season, which


includes a visit to 3A-12 rival Avon
Park, followed by a trio of home
games, vs. 3A-10 Haines City for
Homecoming on Oct. 21, 3A-12
DeSoto the final district game, on
Oct. 28 and 6A Orlando Colonial
on Senior Night Nov. 4.
Hardee coaches had a lot of
accolades to share after the come-
from-behind win over Sebring.
Weston Palmer and Brad Gilliard
claimed co-Offensive Player of the
Week honors, while Jdhnny Ray
Harris is Defensive Player of the
Week and Pablo Anselmo Special'
Teams Player.
There was no Scout Team player
of the week as'Hardee only had a
little over a day in actual practice as
it rained every day -last week. The
Cats were even late to the game
because a player didn't have his jer-
sey.
Anselmo had four kickoffs into
the opposing end zone, preventing
any sort of runback. He also nailed
all his conversion kicks.
Sophomore quarterback Palmer
was 8 for 13 for 127 yards, a pair of
touchdown tosses and one intercep-
tion.
Fullback Gilliard,. recently
dubbed' "Brad-illac," had an all-
round good game. He had eight car-
ries for 44 yards, one pass reception
for 10 yards and blocked well for
teammates Chris Rich and Jimmy
Cimeus.
Harris led the team with 9.5 tack-
les, two for a loss and one sack.
Jose Salvadore also had a sack,
recovered a fumble and had seven
tackles.

Other defenders had an outstand-
ing game. Ricky Wiggins had a key
interception at the end of the game,
caused a fumble and had 6.5 tack-


les. Jackson Mosely had "three big
tackles, stopped scores on long runs
and at the goal line stand, forcing a
missed field goal attempt.
Others joining in with a half
dozen tackles or so, many for loss-
es, include Briant Shumard, Garrett
Rajidall, Pierre Lazarre, Jackson
Frenot, Terry Redden, Raymond
Hernandez and Will Krause.
Offensively, Jermain King had
two catches for 30 yards and Justin
Woods two for 34 yards. Redden
had one catch, but it was good for a
25-yard TD. On the ground attack,
Cimeus, filling in for the injured


Marc Hodges, had 17 carries for
63 yards and Michael Carpenter
had one for three yards.
Rich had the big night. He had
eight carries for 82 yards, two.
receptions for 48 yards, one for a
TD, two punt returns for 18 yards
and threw a halfback pass for 26
yards.
The game began when Hardee
wbn the coin toss. Captains Frenot,
Salvadore, Mosely and Daniel
Moore elected to defer until the
second half. Anslemo boomed the
first of four kickoffs into the end
zone.


Sebring stalled on its first series
and was forced to punt. Rich let it
roll to the Hardee 42. However, a
penalty on the Blue Streaks forced
a rekick and Hardee got the ball at
the Sebring 45.
Two runs went nowhere, so
Palmer connected with King for a
15-yard gain and a first down.
Gilliard gained five yards, then
Cimeus got three more. After a fake
to Gilliard, Palmer tossed the ball
to Rich. His halfback pass went 24
yards to Woods at the one-yard line.
Gilliard pushed forward through

Marine Corps Pvt. Robert M.
Locklar, son of Leslie Locklar of
Wauchula and Milton Locklar of
Bowling Green, recently completed
12 weeks of basic training at
Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris
Island, S. C.
Designed to challenge new
Marine recruits both physically and
mentally, the training began daily at
5 a.m. by running three miles and
performing cahsthenics.
In addition to the physical condi-
tioning program, recruits spent
numerous hours in classroom and
field assignments, which included
learning first aid, uniform regula-
tions, combat water survival,
marksmanship, hand-to-hand com-
bat and assorted weapons training.
They performed close order drill
and operated as a small infantry unit
during field training.
Recruits also received instruction
on the Marine Corps' values
-honor, courage and commit-
ment-and what the values mean in
guiding personal and professional
conduct.
Recruits ended the training with
The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evo-
lution culminating in an emotional
ceremony in which recruits are pre-
sented ,the Marine Corps Emblem
and addressed as "Marines" for-the
first time in their careers.

BG First United Methodist


Church Celebrates 125 Years


Under an arbor of brush and pal-
metto branches, pioneer homestead-
ers gathered to worship and praise,
the Lord. The Methodist meeting
place, called, Bethany Harbor, was
organized in 1880 by the Rev.
Francis R. Bridges, and was the
beginning of what is now Bowling
Green First United Methodist
Church.
This month the congregation
honors their 125-year history with a
homecoming celebration Oct. 15-
16. Church members, their families,
friends, former pastors, conference
dignitaries and friends in the com-
munity will gather to share meals,
worship services, singing and remi-
niscing about the church's long and
rich history.
From humble beginnings under
that brush arbor, many pastors have
guided the growth of the church.
Bethany Harbor was located a cou-
ple of miles from the present church
and was part of a circuit including
Fort Green, New Hope and Mount
Pisgah. Pastors who served the
Bowling Green congregation from
1880-1886 included Rev. Bridges,
J.D. Rogers, Joseph E. Neal,
George W. Mitchell and D.A. Cole.
In 1886, Rev. Cole, a circuit rider,
picked a spot two blocks east of the
present church, and the tiny town of
Bowling Green saw the construc-
tion of.the first Methodist church
building. It was chartered as
Bowling Green Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and com-
bined the congregations of Bethany
Harbor, New Hope and Mount
Pisgah.
Following Rev. Cole were pastors
W.C. Jordan, J.M. Sweat, S.B.
Black, R.O. Weir, W.C. Collins,
R.M. Evans, J.T. Coleman, R.L.
Sumner, W.H. Parker, F.A. Taylor,
J.W. Austin, D.L. Switzer, T.S.
Armistead and J.R. Crandle.
After a revival in 1909, one side
of the small church was torn down
and the tried and true brush arbor
was built once again to accommo-
date the growing congregation. This
was a temporary solution and a
building, committee was appointed
to begin plans for a new and larger
church. A member of the commit-
tee, Nathaniel M. Bryan, donated
the land which today encompasses
the present church and the Bowling
Green Cemetery. Three of Bryan's
grandchildren, Doyle Bryan, Mack
Bryan and Louise Durrance, as.well
as numerous, great-grandchildren
are members of the church today.
In 1911, a new church, complete
with bell tower, was built on the
same, site as today's building. Just
six years later, in 1917, the church
was paid for and a dedication ser-
vice was conducted by Bishop H.C.
Morrison. Rev. Austin returned to
serve the church during those years,
and again from 1931-1935. Other


pastors serving in this time period
included W.B. Tresca, T.L.Z. Barr,
J.E. Shephard, W.G. Strickland,
Paul Kendall, J.L. Bourn, L.P.
Drisk'ell, M.B. Cox and L.B.
Overstreet. Under the leadership of
Rev. Driskell, 13 Sunday School
rooms were added to the white
frame church in 1928.
The name of Bowling Green
Methodist Episcopal Church South
was changed to The Methodist
Church in 1938, while Rev. J.F.
Clark was pastor. Following Clark
were T.W. Carlton, T.M. Lee, F.A.
Shipley, D.M. Mackay and H.G.
Cowan. Rev.- Mackay is remem-
bered for increasing church atten-
dance and youth involvement, as
well as working in the campaign
which made Hardee a dry county.
During Rev. Cowan's term, in 1953,
the church sanctuary was' remod-
eled.
In 1955, while Rev. Ed Norman
was pastor, a parsonage was built
across the street from the present
church. The house remains a com-
fortable home for pastors and 'their
families, with the living room's
original pine paneling and hard-
wood floors still in beautiful condi-
tion.
Pastoring the church from 1956-
1964 were Ralph Jones, E.T.
Standifer and Gerald McCray.
Under Rev. McCray's leadership,
ground was broken in 1962 for a
new Sunday School building and
fellowship hall. These two wings
today are a vital part of the church
facilities, and were part of the
vision for a complete church plant.
Included in that vision was a new
sanctuary.
The old white frame church
which served the congregation for
over 50 years needed extensive
repairs, and in 1966 the congrega-
tion voted to tear down the old
structure and build the new sanctu-
ary. This new .house of worship,
capable of seating 325, was com-
pleted and furnished through the
generous donations of members and
friends. The Rev. Jay Halter, who
served from 1964-1968, consecrat-
ed the, sanctuary in 1967.
In. 1968, the church was officially
named Bowling Green First United
Methodist Church as a result of
merging The Methodist Church
with The Evangelical United
Brethren Church. On Oct. 21, 1973,
the sanctuary was dedicated with a
mortgage-burning and dedication
service officiated by Revs. Paul
Dickinson and Herman Boyette. ,
Pastors serving the church from
1979-2005 include John F.
Springer, Albert Lee Leggelt.
Bernard "Bud" Harkey, David H.
Hodges, Guy R. Brewer, Judge
Watson, Louis L. Shields, C.L.
Alligood, David Steadham, Tom
Hughes and Mario Chacon. Each of


Bowling Green First United Methodist Church began as a humble brush arbor in 1886 and grew
from several frame structures to the beautiful brick sanctuary, Sunday School wing and
Fellowship Hall of today.


Polk
these men of God contributed their
talents and leadership to further the
missions of the church. In June of
this year, Pastor Steve Polk and his
wife, Penny, arrived from Live Oak
and are continuing the tradition of
spreading the Gospel through
strong, Bible-based preaching and
teaching.
In its 125 years, Bowling Green
First United Methodist Church has
stood the test of time and has
weathered many storms, including
last year's hurricanes. The steeple
was blown down by Hurricane
Charley, as well as the huge oak tree
which sheltered the Marie Polk
memorial rose garden. A new
steeple was erected on Jan. 7 and
includes lighted, stained-glass win-
dows. As part of the 125th celebra-
tion, a new oak will be planted as a
symbol of church growth both with-
in the congregation and in the com-
munity.
The church today has a member-
ship of 139; the oldest member,
Alice Lee, 97, still attends worship
services every Sunday. Her daugh-
ter, Louise Gantt, is the church
pianist.
The church has a long history of
service to God and to the Bowling.
Green community. Ministers to
come out of Bowling Green
Methodist include Hughes Cole,
Wright Carlton, Kinner Hollister,
Fred Langford, Jesse Reid, Leonard
Reid, Leland Sherrard, Dale
Harward, Wayne Johnson and Ben
Simms. Rev. Harward will be the
guest speaker at the upcoming cele-
bration. Missionaries include Frank
Zajicek and the late Grace Bryant.
Frank and his wife, Luz Estella, and
daughter, Marie, are currently serv-
ing in South America.
Many outreach programs have
been part of the Bowling Green
church. During the 1970s, the
Christian Enrichment Day Care
Center was operated; .church organ-
ist Linda Adler was the first direc-
tor. LA food pantry has provided
basic food items for many of
Bowling Green's needy families
over the years. During his term,
Rev. Alligood and wife Mary con-
ducted an after-school program for
students primarily from Bowling
Green Elementary School.
In 2002, under the leadership of
Rev. Steadman, the church joined
with Wauchula Methodisis in estab-
lishing an affiliate of Habitat for
Humanity in the county. The church
remains a covenant church with
Habitat for Humanity of Hardee
County, and members have helped
build two houses in Bowling Green
and are helping with two more in
Wauchula. -
Following Hurricane Charley last
year, Bowling Green Methodist
became one of the main distribution
points for food, water and supplies.
Volunteers who helped feed and
provide aid to storm victims includ-
ed church members, friends, neigh-
bors, prison trusties and fellow
Methodists from Lakeland and
other areas.
As Bowling Green First United
Methodist Church moves into the
next 125 years, Pastor Steve Polk
outlines his vision for the congrega-
tion:

TREATING ADDICTIONS


PHOTO BY JIM KELLY
Connie Revell, an addictions counselor with Tri-County Human Services Inc. outpatient services,
spoke to the Wauchula Kiwanis Club on Tuesday of last week at the Panda Restaurant. The Tri-
County office is located at 202 S. Ninth Ave. in Wauchula. Revell said there continues to be an
alcohol and drug addiction problem and illegal drug sales in Hardee County. Attorney Jeff
McKibben said drug problems often lead to loss of property and liquid assets, severely impact-
ing the families of the drug-addicted person as well as the addict. He said 25 years ago men
could get in major trouble due to alcohol, gambling or another woman. Those- vices still cause
problems today, but in recent years drug addiction problems have become more prevalent.
Sometimes addictions lead to stolen and forged checks and thefts of grandma's.jewelry, he said.
The old Baker's Act and Meyers' Act have been succeeded by the Marchman Act, whereby an
addict can be turned into law enforcement by a parent or guardian. They are taken to Bartow for
evaluation and treatment options. Revell said addictions are no respecter of race, income or
social status. For more information, call 773-2226. From left are McKibben, Revell and Dee
Williams-Tatis.

Hardee stopped a Sebring drive and
forced a field goal whichh went wide
right.
Hardee took ovei."Cimeus gained
14 yards and was stopped at the
line on the next try. A fumbled snap
gave the ball to Sebring at the


Hardee 33. Williams had a nine-
yard run, then another for 23 yards,
knocking on the goal line. Wilson
went in for the score on the quarter-
back keeper. The conversion kick
was no good, but Sebring led 13-7.
In the waning seconds of the
third period, Rich broke through
the line and raced 57 yards. Six
plays later, Hardee turned it over on
a fumble.
The teams continued to battle
\,ell into the fourth quarter. At the
water break, Hardee was on the
Streak 25. Palmer faked the run and
threw long to Redden in the end


in his grab.

zone. After Anselmo's kick, it was
a 14-13 game and Hardee had the
lead for good.
Both crowds became loud as the
intensity picked up. Anselmo's kick
sailed into the back of the end zone.
Sebring was making slow progress,
when Harris sacked Wilson and
forced a punt, which was nearly
blocked.
Hardee took over on its 47 and
took just five plays to score.
Cimeus gained nine yards and
Gilliard got the first down. Two
more Cimeus runs were throttled.
So, Palmer rolled out and passed
long to Rich for a 45-yard TD. With
Anselmo's kick, Hardee had a 21-
13 lead with just 1:13 left in the
game.
Sebring still had time to score
and get a two-point conversion to
tie the game.
Anselmo's kick again went into
the end zone and Sebring started on
its 20-yard line. Senior Chris
Wellborn came in at quarterback to
free Wilson up as a receiver. The
first play, a pass to Kyle Hoffner
netted a dozen yards. The next pass
went to Sam Robinson for just four
yards.
After a Wildcat time-out, a pass
was incomplete. The Wildcat,
defense stopped a screen pass to:
Wilson. Finally, Wellborn passedT
for Aukuee Daniels, but it was a bit
short. Pressed by Wiggins, and
Daniels covered by Carpenter, the
two could not connect.
With 35 seconds left, a pass went
way over the head of Hoffner. The
next one was a screen pass to T. J.
Hipps but he was ridden out of
bounds immediately.
There were just 24 seconds left,
and Sebring was facing a fourth-
and-7, when a Wellborn pass
intended for Hoffner was picked off
by Wiggins and run back to the1
Sebring 35.
Palmer took a knee twice and ran
out the clock, preserving Hardee's
21-13 win.

,Cross Country
By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee girls cross country
picked up an llth win last
Thursday.
The girls used a "solid team
effort," said coach Don Trew, in
describing the win at the Avon Park
Invitational at Highlands
Hammock State Park.
"The girls were tightly packed,
crossing the finish line in 5th
through eighth place, while the
remainder of the teams were scat-
tered," continued Trew.
Maricela Galvan led Hardee
,across the line at 27:16, just ahead
of Liz Miller at 27:29, Mandy
Cornelius at 27:34 and Cynthia
Briseno at 27:53.
Hardee's fifth spot went to
Christina Badillo, who placed 15th
overall at 29:53. Sixth for Hardee
girls was Blanca Ruiz, 19th overall.
at 30:50.
In the junior varsity run, Nancy
Ramirez was first with 30:49 and
moving up to the varsity level. She
was followed by Cindy Lobato at
33;46, Lucy Ruiz at 33:56, Oralia
Aguirre aat 39:47 and. Britni
Gamble at 40:06.
Laura Galvan took fourth in the
middle school race at 10:44. The

Cumbee also 43 and Kelly Joe
-Smith. 52.
Last Thursday, the girls were
home when Avon Park, Lake Placid
and DeSoto came to call. The Lady
Dragons won, followed by Avon
Park, four strokes ahead of Hardee.
DeSoto did not have enough play-
ers for a team score.
Ashley Patarini led the Hardee
golfers in, followed by Lambert
and Cumbee, who were tied, and
Chance.
Meanwhile, Hardee boys had
only one match last week, a
Thursday trip to Sebring to play
against the Streaks, Winter Haven,
Tampa Jesuit and Haines City.
Sebring had the low score of 141,
with Winter Haven and Jesuit in a
tie at 151, Hardee at 161 and
Haines City way back at 230.
For the Wildcats, Justin Painter


was low man with a 37. Ben Krause
came around in 40 strokes, Kaleb
Saunders, Brek McClenithan and
Jake Crews each at 43, and Kyle
Cobb at 44.
"The competition was a lot
stiffer and did us some good with
districts coming up,"' said coach
George Heine.
Before districts, Hardee had a
pair of final regular season matches
this week.
They were at Lakeland McKeel
Academy on Tuesday and host
Avon Park today (Thursday).

Districts Monday are at
Lakewood County Club in
Bradenton. The boys have a mUch
larger District 16 with a group of
private schools, Sarasota Christian,
Sarasota Out-Of-Door Academy,
Manatee HEAT and Bradenton
Christian in addition to the seveh
schools the girls face.


I Flrd [ro] [ ;~geJXUpdI.a:1(


Storms from the remnants of Hurricane Rita slowed some field activi-
ties in the western Panhandle during the week of Sept. 26-Oct. 2. The clash
of the sea breezes brought much-needed showers to some Peninsula local-
ities while rain from tropical disturbances soaked extreme southern
Peninsula areas. Monticello and Tampa reported no rainfall, while
Pensacola reported almost six inches. Miami and Fort Lauderdale reported
four to almost six inches of rain for the week. Elsewhere, rain totaled from
less than two-tenths of an inch at Apopka and Macclenny to over three inch-
es at Pierson and Immokalee.
Temperatures for the week averaged normal to six degrees above.
Daytime highs were in the 80s and 90s. Nighttime lows,were in the 60s and
70s.
Field Crops
Storms and the threat of rain stalled peanut harvesting over the n6rth-
em Peninsula and the Panhandle. In Washington County, severe infestations
of tomato spotted wilt virus greatly reduced peanut yield. Peanut condition
was rated three percent poor, 32 percent fair, 40 percent good and 25 per-
cent excellent. Peanut digging was 35 percent finished by Oct. 2, compared
with 47 percent last year and the five-year average of 49 percent dug by this
date .. .
In Jefferson County, rainfall delayed cotton field work. In Washington
County, cotton growers expect picking to start within the next five to seven
days. In some Jefferson County orchards with good scab control, pecan:
trees have a higher than average crop with nuts filling. Scab infestations-
caused lots of nuts to drop from trees having less control.
In the eastern Panhandle and the northern Peninsula, most topsoil and
subsoil moisture supplies were rated very short to mostly short. Elsewhere,
moisture supplies were rated short to mostly adequate. Okaloosa, Holmes,
Union, Hernando and Okeechobee counties reported some areas with sur-
plus moisture, while Holmes and Madison reported spots of very short
moisture.
Vegetables
Storms delayed some planting in the central and southern Peninsula
with most on schedule. In the Hastings area, drier conditions allowed cab-
bage planting to continue on schedule with most summer cover crops
chopped at least one time.
Okra cutting continued between showers in Dade County. Pickle har-
vesting got under way in the central and southern Peninsula. Tomato pick-
ing around Quincy remained active. Sweet corn picking, is expected to
begin in the next three to five days in the northern and central Peninsula.
Livestock
Pasture in the Panhandle ranges from fair to good. Some
locations are in poor condition due to drought. Winter forage planting was
delayed by hot temperatures. In other locations, which received rain last
week, pasture is in good condition and normal fall planting preparations
continue. The cattle condition is mostly fair.
The pasture condition in the northern counties is poor to fair, and cat-
tile condition is mostly fair. In the central areas, pasture condition is poor,
to excellent with most in fair condition. While rainfall was good for pas-
tures, weed problems lowered quality. In the southwest, pasture condition
is poor to good with rainfall needed. Statewide, most of the cattle are in
good condition.
Fruit
Citrus: Temperatures were still slightly above normal for tlhs
time of year, reaching the low 90s in all areas except on the east coast,
which only reached 88 degrees. Rainfall ranged from a quarter of an inch
in Tavares to almost three inches on the west coast. Trees are in good con-
dition with rain falling in most areas on two to three days a week. Light irri-
gation took place to compensate for any shortfall of precipitation.
Fruit splitting does not appear to be a problem this year. -Some of the early.
oranges and grapefruit are showing good color break. Grove managers
applied fall miticides, cleaned middles, pulled vines and mowed in prepa-
ration to move into the picking season.
Four fresh-fruit packing houses were open, with more planning to be open
by the middle of October. Varieties packed included Fallglo tangerines,
Ambersweet, colored grapefruit and a few Navels.

Volleyball Girls


Win District Pair


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee varsity volleyball
girls claimed back-to-back district.
victories last week.
The girls beat both Avon Park
and Braden River in a pair of home
matches which, no doubt, gave
Hardee an added advantage.
This week, the girls had a visit
from Bartow on Monday evening,
with the Lady Jackets hoping to
avenge an earlier loss to Hardee.
On Tuesday, the girls went to
Sebring to play Heartland Christian


and today (Thursday) it is a trip to
district rivalPalmetto.
On Friday evening, the team will
host an enchilada dinner fundraiser
at the high school cafeteria. The
cost is $5 and dinners may be taken
out.
Next week, the regular season
ends with a visit to Frostproof
Monday and a visit from Lake
Placid on Tuesday for Senior Night.
The varsity girls will also play in
an eight-team tournament at
Sarasofa Booker Oct. 14 and 15.
Assured of at least five matches, it


will be a good tune-up for the Class
4A District 10 tournament at
DeSoto the week of Oct. 18. Other
teams in the district are Booker,
Braden River, Palmetto and
Sebring. DeSoto is top seed and
Sebring second.
Against the varsity Lady Red
Devils last Tuesday, Hardee took a
three-set victory.
In game one, there were seven
ties, the last at 16-16, before
Hardee pulled away from Avon
Park with Santresa Harris serving
five consecutive service points. D.


K.. Davis added three more and
Bethany Lang's final serve won the
game 25-20.
In game two, Lady Cat Sarah
Mahoney opened with a quartet of
service points. Heather McKinney
picked up two more. When Avon
Park narrowed the score to 6-5,
Micaela Hall serves helped Hardee
forge ahead to lead 9-6. Several
digs and passes by Marissa Hall,
the only sophomore on the squad,
who plays libero, a backcourt
defensive specialist, kept Hardee
volleys going.
D. K. Davis got a hot service
hand, and upped Hardee's advan-
tage to 16-8. Nataly Berrias coun-


tered with four service points for
the Lady Devils. McKinney and
Lady Devil Danielle West swapped
points. Micaela Hall got two ser-
vice points and a Madison Graham
serve was deep but inside the line
for the final point for game two's
25-18 win.
Game three was similar.
McKinney started Hardee with four
service points and Hardee stayed
points ahead of Avon Park, until
Lang ran off four service points to
give Hardee a 13-6 edge. Jahna
Davis came in to do some good
defensive work as well.
Avon Park was reluctant to lose
and tried to fight back, but for


every point the Lady Devils got,
Hardee got one or two more.
Tiffany Gregor put several together
to bring Avon Park within 23-18,
but Mahoney put the game away
with the final point for the 25-18
win.
Mahoney, D. K Davis,
McKinney and Micaela Hall all had
service aces. McKinney, Harris,
Graham and Micaela Hall each had'
several kills and good returns.
Harris also had a half dozen passes
and D. K. Davis had eight.
"I'm very pleased at the way-
they played. They came through,
their lapses, and won loose ball-

Whatever Tomorrow Brings


Christopher Columbus had
trouble recruiting sailors for his
early voyages. Men were afraid,
but the bravest enlisted and sailed
off into the unknown to ihe
wonders of a new world.
Most of us are afraid of the
unknown. We have our fears and
doubts about anything new, a new
job or school, a move to a strange
city, beginning a marriage, or
simply facing the uncertainties of
tomorrow. We do not know what
lies ahead, and we worry about
being able to cope with it. In this
ever-changing world, we
instinctively yearn for that which
does not change.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
we can have the peaceful
conviction that the love of God
for His children is trustworthy
and everlasting. "Therefore, do
not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of
its own." (Matthew 6:34)
Discover an abiding security
and a faith that whatever
tomorrow brings, it will be all
right. Worship this week; spend
time with God in His house. He
will take care of you today and
tomorrow.

points where we had to scramble.
They gave a good effort," said var-
sity coach Ken Leupold.
Against Braden River, the
newest high school in Bradenton,
Hardee had similar success, win-
ning in straight sets.
The Lady Pirates opened the first
game with a 2-0 lead, stretching it
to 6-3. Hardee came back behind
the serving of D. K. Davis to tie the
game and forge ahead 8-6. Vanessa
Castro made it even at 8-8. Lang
upped Hardee's score to 11-9, only
to have Braden River eventually tie
it at 12-12 and again at 13-13.
The game was tied three more
times as the teams went point for
point in several long volleys. Lang
broke the tie and went on to put
Hardee up 23-18. A Harris dink got
the Lady's Cats final game point
for the 25-20 win.
Game twNo was much the same.


With Micaela Hall, Graham,
McKinney and Mahoney blocking
at the net, Hardee was relentless.
After four early ties, the Lady Cats
went up 10-5. Castro brought
Braden River within 10-9. Lang
pushed it to 16-9.
Point for point again, but Hardee
did not surrender its advantage and
won 25-15 as McKinney returned a
shot to the deep center for the 25-
15 win..
Game three seesawed with ties at
5-5, 6-6 and 8-8. Britney Foster put
the Lady Pirates ahead 12-8, but
Hardee would not give in and
clawed its way back to a 14-14 tie.
It was tied again at 16-16. Then
Harris put a couple of good serves
together, and Sarah Tickner did the
same for Braden River. It was 18-
18.
It was tied again at 21-21 and 22-
22, before Mahoney got the final
points for Hardee's 25-23, game,
set and match victory,
Lang had 15 2ood serves and


FLORIDA MARKETS AT A GLANCE
For the week ended September 29, 2005:
At the Florida Livestock Auctions, receipts totaled 14,071 compared
to last week 15,860 and 441 a year ago. According to the Florida Federal-
State Livestock Market News Service: slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00
to 2.00 lower, feeder steers and heifers were; under 350 lbs. 2.00 to 4.00
lower; over 350 lbs steady to 1.00 lower.


Feeder Steers:



Feeder Heifers:


Medium & Large Frame No. 1-2:
200-300 lbs., 150.00-195.00;
300-400 lbs., 125.00-155.00; and
400-500 lbs., 108.00-135.00.
Medium & Large Frame No. 1-2:

five hits off passes from Marissa
Hall. Mahoney had seven kills and
three hits, with McKinney adding
10 hits and four kills, and Micaela
Hall four kills, four hits and three
passes. Graham also had three kills
and three hits.
"We missed some serves, but we
can fix that. I think we did our best
picking up stuff, not letting the ball
hit the floor. We came back, and D.
K. and Sarah had hits at the end to
pull out the win. Braden River has
really improved and showed a lot
of fight. We had a lot of good prac-
tice, said Leupold.
The junior varsity girls split
games last week, losing to Avon
Park and winning over Braden
River in three games. (The junior
varsity plays best of three, where
the varsity plays best of five
games).
Against Avon Park, Hardee lost a
hard-fought game one 25-22.
Logan Palmer had a half dozen ser-.
vice points and Jackie Current five
more for the win. For Hardee,
Amber Steedley had six service
points. Juliann Davis, Jerrica
Grimsley and Gloria Solis each had
three more. Laura Calvillo, Hannah
Marshall and Kimberly Holt put the
additional points on the board.
Megan White, Krystin Robertson,
Kember Townsend and Christie
Davis added to the floor game.
Hardee lost game 2, 25-16, with
Michelle Caibrio getting nine ser-
vice points for Avon' Park. For
Hardee, White had seven service
points, with Grimsley, Juliann
Davis, Solis, Calvillo and Steedley
dividing the rest.
"We're playing not to lose,
instead of playing to win. We are
not together, not using teamwork,
just individual efforts, not calling
for it. We have great practices, but
don't apply what we learn in the


game," said JV coach Meredith
Durastanti.
Hardee had a split set win over
Braden River. Again the junior
Lady Cats lost the opening game
25-22. Grimsley topped Hardee
with a trio of service points. White,
Stpedley, Juliann Davis, Solis,
Holt, Marshall, Calvillo,
Townsend, Christie Davis and
Robertson shared other service
points.
Hardee won game two 25-10,
bounding out to a 12-1 advantage
and coasting to the 15-point victo-


ry. White and Grimsley paced
Hardee with five service points
apiece, with Steedley, Robertson,
Solis, Marshall and captain Juliann
Davis combining talents for the
other service points.
In game 3, with its 15-point
limit, Hardee went right to work.
White put Hardee up 7-2 with four
service points, which each had sev-
eral strong volleys. Christie Davis
added a pair of service points and
Solis ran off three more. Calvillo
got a couple, but it was an error by
Braden River which gave Hardee


the final points for the 15-9 game
and match victory.
"That second game was the best
we've played all year. In the first
game, we missed three serves and
lost by three points. They were
excited to win. Christie, Gloria,
Megan and Juliann had good serv-
ing, and Krystin, Laura and
Kimberly good work at the net.
Hannah and Juliann did a good job
setting up for others to return.
Gloria hustles every game. Jerrica
had a really good game," summed
up the excited JV coach.

by John Roberson, Travis Wiggins,
Keith Weems and leadoff batter
Daniel Barnett, who smacked a
grand slam, in the second inning.

ously one of them was an in-the-
park homer. Wiggins nearly hit for
the cycle with a triple and double
and safe on an error. Weems also
tripled and singled.
For Nicholson's, Harold Smith
had the only homer, a solo shot in
the third inning. Matt Gilliard dou-

Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, offering with ,voices and making
melody with all your heart to the Lord. At all times
and for everything giving thanks in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. Be subject to one
another out of reverence for Christ.
-Ephesians 5:19-21
God love to hear our praises going up to Him. In fact, in another place
in the Bible it says if we don't praise Him, He will raise up the rocks to do
so. I don't want a rock praising Him for me, do you?
We should love to lift our voices and instruments up to Him, giving
Him thanks. If nothing else, He has given us life and the air to breathe. But
He has given us so much more. If we will let Him, He will give us peace
and joy.
Do you realize the joy of the Lord can give us strength, and. is good for
us like medicine? Many times as we are praising and worshiping God, we
will receive healing in our bodies.
Just think, do you like to receive praises from your family members
and in return you want to do more for them? God is the same way. We are
His family, and when He sees how grateful we are to Him by thanking and
praising Him, He wants to bless us more.
A Golden Nugget would be to see God's blessing flow when we wor-
ship and praise Him.

Squirrels Aren't Going Nuts


E\ery sear about this time people
call the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC),
alarmed about squirrels that seem to
be going crazy. They report that
they've seen squirrels rolling on the.
ground, jumping in the air and gen-
erally acting .as if something was
disturbing them..
But don't worry, they're not
crazy. They're likely, hosting a par-
asite that causes them some tempo-
rary discomfort but generally is not
fatal.
"When the people call, they
describe the. squirrels' unusual
antics, as well as large lumps that
appear to be cancerous tumors on
the squirrels' bodies," said Mark
Asleson, an FWC wildlife biologist.
"The lumps are, in fact subcuta-
neous warbles caused by the larvae
of flies commonly known as bot
flies."
In the southeast United States.
gray squirrels and other rodents.
and rabbits, are common hosts to
these larvae. What happens is that
the adult female flies deposit eggs
in the immediate vicinity of the
hosts' nests or dens where the host
comes into contact with the eggs.
The eggs hatch when exposed to
sudden increases in temperature or
moisture, such as what occurs when
the animal grooms itself. ,
The larvae then enter the mouth,
nose or. other bod. opening and
migrate to a location just beneath
the skin where they cut a little hole
so they can breathe and continue to
develop: This de'eloprent takes
from three to se en weeks, depend-
ing upon the species of fly and host,
and causes itchy swellings that
range from half an inch to one inch
in diameter.
After the larvae emerge from the
skin, the lesions may become
infected, but they normally heal
without complication.
"In gray squirrels, larvae are
most abundant in late summer and
fall. which is \\h) people are seeing
the lumps right now." Asleson said.
"Most of the squirrels will suffer no
permanent effects from the parasite,
however few may occasionally
become debilitated by heavy infes-
tations.:"
There's is no threat to the safety
of pets or humans from the hosts or


their larvae. The presence of the lar-
vae, however, often causes hunters
to discard squirrels with warbles.
This is an unfortunate waste of the
resource since the edibility .of the
squirrel meat generally is unaffect-
ed because the lesions are restricted
to the skin. In most areas, including
Florida, the small-game hunting
season (this year Nov. 12-March 5)
occurs after the larvae have
emerged from the hosts.
"The best thing to do if you see
squirrels exhibiting these character-
istics is simply to leave them alone
and let nature take its course.
Eventually the larvae will emerge
and the squirrels will continue to go
about the business of being squir-
rels," Asleson 'said.

Stump The Swami


By John Szeligo


Well Football Fans, it has been an October opening that saw a few
unbeaten teams fall by the wayside in college football. Penn State is still
hanging on at 4-0. Paterno's team is the surprise in 2005. USC, Texas and
Virginia Tech are still poised at the top spots.
The Florida Gators euphoria over the Urban Meyer Era has temporar-
ily been halted. This writer did predict in a pre-season article that Alabama
along with LSU would be-the losses for the Gators. The final prediction
stated "Gator Fans would see Florida finish 9-2." Hopefully, the Gators will
rebound this week and get revenge on Mississippi State for last year's deba-


Manor Memories
By Yolanda Esquivel
Harde.e Manor Healtlcare Center


Hardee Manor Healthcare Center hosted its first annual Alzheimer's
'Caregiver Luncheon this past Saturday in its facility. Guest speaker was
Lisa Rodriguez, program specialist for the Alzheimer's Association.
Rodriguez became an advocate for the Alzheimer's Association after
having experienced the effects of the illness on her grandmother.
She shared on how Alzheimer's and related dementia can affect your
loved one's mood. She explained how to cope and communicate with those
who have this illness.
Her association offers respite care, which is a program that brings a sit-
ter into your home and allows you to take some time for yourself to do per-
sonal errands, business or just take a break from the stresses of life.
Rodriguez urged those who attended the luncheon to take advantage of
respite care because "it is there for you, use it."
She explained, "'When the sitter comes to your home, don't stay there
and help the sitter. The program is for you to take some time-out from car-
ing for your loved one. You need to be in good health in order to continue
to be their caregiver, so it's OK if you leave them for awhile to take some
time out."
The luncheon included entertainment by Little Miss Hardee Manor
Debi Collins, who sang ",In The Garden." Carrie Esquivel sang, "Just A
Prayer Away." Both girls are students at Hardee Junior High School.
Rodriguez has an Alzheimer's Support Group that meets the third
Wednesday of every month at Hardee Manor. Those interested may call her
at (863) 385-3444 or call me at Hardee Manor, 773-3231.

Is it too early to look at Ilcisman candidates? Matt Leinart is the odds-
on favorite to repeat the honor. The Southern Cal Trojan has passed for
1,286 yards already. His team is ranked number one. However. Michigan
State has Drew Staton. w ho has passed for 1,466 yards so lar. He is ranked
number one in passing efficiency. DeAngelo Williams. Memphis running-
back, leads the nation again with 749 yards in 109 carnics. le has 8 touch-
downs and 6.87 yards per carry in 2005.
The Hardee Wildcats have an open date this week. That's always a
good time to get everyone healthy and work on specifics that can be the dif-
ference in the key District Games coming up. The Avon Park Red Devils
and DeSoto Bulldogs are waiting with hunger for a chance to take the dis-
trict championship away from its rightful place in Hardee County. In the
mean time, the Wildcats have run their string of consecutive regular season
victories to 38.
Now let's look at this week's Bill 0' Fare
1. Mississippi State at lFlorida Bulldogs are in for a Dog Day after-
noon. Getting blown out at Bama and remembering losing in Starkville last
year, will fire up the Gators for a rout. Florida 45 Miss. State 13.
2. West Virginia at Rutgers Scarlet Knights are 3-1. The
Mountaineers are 4-1. RU has played WVU tough the past two years. It
could be a hard-fought win, not a blowout for WVU. West Virginia 34
Rutgers 20.
3. Marshall at Virginia Tech On paper this is a mismatch but the
Herd gets up for games against big-time opponents. Chris Royal, MU
defensive back, will be covering his little brother Eddie who is the Hokies
top receiver. Can the 1 Herd win this Civil War?" Virginia Tech 34 Marshall
13.
4. North Carolina at Louisville Cardinals got back on track with 61
points last week. The 3Big last gets a needed win over the ACC. Louisville
45 UNC 24.
5. Oklahoma at Texas Hook EM Horns. Texas gets it done finally in
2005. Texas 38 Oklahoma 24.

TEENS INTERVIEW ELDERS


RUBBER, COFFEE, SUGAR & GAS WERE RATIONED


By BRETT JARNAGIN
Special To The Herald-Advocate
This interview is in the words of Martha
Clark:
What's that? You want to hear a story?
All right then, gather round. Let me tell you
about how things used to be.
My name is Martha Evelyn Galloway
Clark, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Stephen Galloway. I was born in Camilla,
Ga., on Oct. 16, 1929, two weeks before the
stock market crashed. Herbert Clark
Hoover was president, and Hoagy
Carmichael wrote the famous song "Star
Dust." To this day it is my favorite song.
When I was 5 years old in 1934, Dad
sold our farmland in Camilla and moved to
North Florida near Marianna. We grew the
usual crops of corn, peanuts, tobacco and
soybeans. We also raised cattle, livestock
and poultry. In addition to farmland, we
owned timberland where we harvested tur-
pentine, which was sent to the processing
still. All of our crops were sold at either one
of our two country stores.
Rubber, coffee, sugar and gag were all
rationed. In order to purchase these items
you had to have a coupon book. Twice a
week a rolling store would come by so peo-
ple could purchase the things that they
needed. Whenever money was scarce, eggs
were used in its place.
Iced tea was considered a luxury. All we
had was Kool-Aid, which came in a bottle
and was mixed with water and sugar. The
ice man also came twice a week. If you did
not have an ice box, you had to wrap it in'
newspapers and burlap sacks, put it in a
tub, and then put the tub in the fireplace to
keep it cool. Fireplaces were found in most
of the rooms in a house because they were
needed to keep warm during the winter.
The years before World War II were hard
on all of us. All that we had for entertain-
ment was reading the newspaper and listen-
ing to the radio. People would literally just
sit in their cars so they could listen to the
radio. The Big Band Era was upon us, and I
loved it. Another great thing about the time
was the movies. Although we had several
vehicles on the farm, my favorite was the
1928 Model A Ford with the rumble seat.
There were many gaps in my education.
I should have started in 1935, but I, lived
too far from the bus stop. My mother was
also pregnant with her second child at the
time. She gave birth to a girl on Oct. 10,
1935, but the pregnancy was difficult. The
child suffered from many health problems,
and died on Feb. 26, 1949. .,
Children were born at home, and usually
:did not have doctors present. Luckily, a4
'doctor was present when I was born. Mom
gave birth to a third daughter in July of
1944, but she was fine.
I then started school in 1936, when I was
7, in the country. The school consisted of
grades first through seventh. The curricu-
lum included reading and spelling in the
first grade through third grade, geography
in the fourth grade, and history in the fifth
grade. I always had a hard time with the
states and the capitals. I remember staying
up with my father at night trying to learn
them.
Art and music were not offered, and we
had no library. Recess was just free play
time. All of our lunches were brought from
home because we had no lunchroom. If we
wanted water at school, we had to get it
from a hand pump.
We got electricity when I was 8 years
old in 1937. Before that we used generators
to provide our electricity. That Christmas
will always be special to me. It was the first
year we had electric lights on our tree. We
also had a red star on top. I then learned
how to ride a bike. It took'me all day to get
it, although by the end I was still pushing
more than pedaling. My stocking was just
one of Mom's old nylons. It was filled up
with nuts, fruit, gum, candy and a box of
Sparklers rather than toys or gadgets.
Mail-order catalogues provided for our
wants. Since we had a swimming pond
.behind our house, my mom ordered some
'.water wings. One of the things that I always
begged for was a pair of skate shoes. It was
one thing that I was good at and did a lot
;of. Our porch wrapped around three sides
;of our house, so I had a makeshift skating
Shrink. Now that I think about it. I wonder


rwhy I never fell off of it.
On Saturday nights we would walk to
:town to see a movie, a news reel and a seri-
;al. My other form of transportation was to
ride a horse. Living in the rural areas was
;good. We had great friends, neighbors and
food. Electricity made way for a Frigidaire
refrigerator in 1939. We still had to cook on

a woodstove; it was a wrought-iron range
called the Home Comfort. The electric
range would not come until 1948.
I was only 12 years old on Dec. 7, 1941,
but I will always remember that fateful day.
I can still hear President Franklin D.
Roosevelt announcing to the nation that
Pearl Harbor had been bombed by Japan. it
was official ... we had entered World War
II.
In 1943 our house burned to the ground,
and we lost everything we had. Once again
Dad sold all of our land in Florida, and we
moved back to Camilla. I entered Hopeful
High School in 1944. When I left Florida I
was in the seventh grade. When I entered
the school in Georgia they put me in the
eighth grade because of my age, since we
had no school records to follow us.
I was taking general math in Florida, but
was placed in algebra in Georgia. I never
had algebra before and the school year was
three-fourths over. I was completely lost.
Geometry then hit me in ninth grade.
Luckily, I had a friend who helped me
through them. There were also no typing
courses available at my new high school
During the summers of 1945 and 1946,
my family gathered our vegetables and
traveled 18 miles into town to the cannery.,
Once we got our first freeze in 1947 it cut
down our canning time, but we still had to
do it. We also purchased a pea sheller and
"a can sealer. Although I learned a lot-from
farming in my younger years, it made ime
never want to be a farmer in my adult life.
At that time in Georgia you graduated
from the 1 th grade. I had my first lunch-
room meal in my senior year. My history
class had no teacher. All that we had was
our pastor's son, who had just graduated
himself. He was only 18 while we were 16
and 17. We did not get much out of it and
learned very little.
There were only nine of us that graduat-
ed that year from Hopeful High in 1947. I
had the thiird-highest grade point average,
so I delivered our class history. Out of the
graduating nine, four went to college. Only
six remain living, but I haven't seen them
since 1947.
Once more, in November of 1949 after
my sister died, Dad sold our farms in
Camilla. We moved back to Florida, but.
this time it was Wauchula. I entered Berry
College in Rome, Ga., after I graduated.
Berry was an academic and work school.
We worked two days, went to classes four
days, and went to church on Sunday,
Toward the end of my freshman year my
appendix had to be removed. I could not
walk the two miles to my classes, so I lost
most of last semester credits. Since I lost
my credits. I had to graduate a year later.
We had to work during'the summer for
your room and board. I worked at the boys
college dining hall and kitchen. You had to
work two days a week even during the
summer. We had classes on one of two
campuses. Sometimes you would only have
a few minutes to go between them to get to
your class.
My dad paid for my last two years of
college. The tuition was $125 a semester
plus your two days of work. I worked in the
laundry my second summer. My third sum-
mer I worked in the girls dining hall as a
waitress. Between meals we had to go up
Lavender Mountain to. pick blackberries
and lavender as part of our assignment. We
, also had to work in the canning plant and
help package applesauce and apple butter.
During both my junior and senior year I
- worked in thd post office. I drove the mail
car from campus to campus. We had boys
high school academy up about five miles or
so on Lavender Mountain.
During my freshman year I took
Rudiments of Music. I had to drop out
because I had no musical background. I
decided to take piano lessons to learn some


of the basics of music. The pianos were
located on the fifth floor of the building, so
I had to practice by myself. Since I knew so
little about music, I found it hard to help
myself. I eventually took Rudiments of
Music again and passed.
Another surprise that was in store was
speech class. I had to prepare and deliver
speeches, which I had never done before. I
can still remember the poem my professor
had us memorize:
"It isn't so much what you have
learned so say,
As the manner in which you say
it.
It isn't so much the language you
use
AS the tones you use to convey it.
For words come from the mind,
And grow by study and art.
But the tones leap from the inner
self
And reveal the state of the
heart."
You Were not allowed to go home but
once a year during Christmas for one week,
Two of the days were spent on the bus
going back and forth. I was given a special
pass whenever my sister died. We were so
self-contained we had very little contact
with the outside world. Berry had its own
dairy, post office, cannery and forestry. We
also grew our own fruits and vegetables.
One afternoon per month we were
allowed to go to Rome for four hours, only
if a senior girl would chaperone us, though.
I myself usually went to the movies or the
ice capades. There was really no point in
shopping because we had little or no money
and had to wear uniforms.
The students were not allowed to wear
makeup and had to keep 'their hair short.
Every Sunday morning we were assigned a
seat in the assembly hall and in church. If
we, were not in our assigned seat, two
points were taken off our conduct grade.
Everything from having your hair too long
to wearing jewelry affected your conduct
grade. If your conduct grade slipped blow

Berry was built on hard word, religion
and good morals. 121 Psalms was inscribed
on the wall of our assembly hall. The Henry
Ford Foundation donated money and built
several buildings to house the college girls.
Berry survived on donations from wealthy
people from the North. They came down
once a year to donate money and visit the
college. I had the privilege of serving food
to Dr. Kraft, Mrs. Colgate and Mrs. Emily
V. Hammond on some of their visits.
Mrs. Hammond was the mother-in-law
of the band leader Benny Goodman. Dr.
Kraft's hobby was collecting.stones and
polishing them. Some would even be on
display while he was there. I can still

'( Lookin' Back )

remember Mrs. Colgate giving me a bright,
toothy smile. We were not allowed to
accept tips from our guests because it was
not considered kosher. I graduated from
Berry in January of 1952.
I believe that Berry made a better person
out of me. I'm extremely grateful to my
parents for giving me the opportunity to
attend. I started my teaching career that
same month at Bowling Green Elementary.
In 1954 I received a teaching degree from
Florida Southern. My years of teaching
were both great, and rewarding. I loved
every one of, my students, and considered it
a privilege to teach them.
I married Henry David Clark in 1953.
We had one daughter, Kathy Sue Clark. She
is also a teacher. I'have one grandson, Brett
Clark Jarnagin. I'm very proud of both of
them.
In 1989 I1 retired with 38 years of teach-
ing. I would like to say thank you everyone
I worked with along the way.

The Orange Monster


gIy C.J. MOUSER
or The Herald-Advocate
I grew up utterly convinced that my par-
rnts had no real common sense or good
aste as regards concerning living-room fur-
aishings.
Daddy's chair was a huge overstuffed
hing with the bottom all hollowed out to fit
tis posterior to a tee. If anyone u.' er four-
feet tall sat in it, they were re'itrded with
an enchanting view of their knees and little
Ilse. Mom's chair was as rigid and unfor-
giving as a sack full of two by fours. What
was left for us kids to sit on was the floor
or the orange vinyl couch.
i I call it vinyl, but I think it was actually
Naugahyde, and it was about as comfort-
able as the name implies. The couch was
the color of a ripe pumpkin, which kept us
subconsciously prepared for Halloween all
year long.
I don't know if Mama got this thing at a
yard sale or if she actually went to the store
and picked it out on purpose, but it was a
kid-eater ... no two ways about it. It was six
feet, long, square and blocky, with armrests
about as welcoming as landscape timbers. It
was cold in the winter and hot in the sum-
mer,-and in less than a week we all learned
never to sit on it with any real amount of
skin exposed.
In the summertime you stuck to it, and
every time you moved there were those
embarrassing squealing sounds that bare
skin makes against plastic, not to mention
the fact that it was painful. In the winter it
was like sitting on concrete and no amount
of body fat would warm it.
That couch stayed looking brand new the
entire time we owned it, as no one ever sat
on it for long, and then it usually was com-
pany who didn't know any better until it
was too late. Anybody we, didn't want to
stay long w;as ushered directly to that
couch.,
i Eventually my sister, Dianne, just a little
kid at the time"- and the only one with
any taste, or possibly courage defaced
the broad expanse of one cushion by draw-
ing what she claimed \ as a hamburger in
blue ink. It was as big as a.softball. My
Smother determined that she must have lost
her mind and therefore let her off with one
-good whack on the behind and then set
about trying to clean off her masterpiece.


No type of cleaner seemed to make any
impact. Mama rubbed and soaked and
eventually resorted to Comet Cleanser. The
end result was no more hamburger, but
what looked like a large white fluffy cloud
floating across that one cushion.
"You could make a cloud for the other
cushion ..." I offered, all wisdom at about 9
years old.
"If I need your advice, Cynthia Jean, I'll
ask for it."
We all waited with bated breath for the
new couch that we felt certain would come
to take the place of The Orange 'Monster.
Mama studied on the situation for at least a
week before getting an earth-tone knitted
afghan out of the .closet and draping it over
the couch with a mighty flourish.
"There!"
As it turned out, the afghan was almost
as painful as the orange vinyl. The wool
rubbed and scratched and made you feel as
though you were infested with fleas. There
was no more squealing or sticking to deal
with, but that wool against the vinyl was as
slick as butter on a door knob. Any sudden.
movement could be dangerous. With no
warning whatsoever, you could find youir-
self jettisoned out onto the floor with the
afghan draped over your head.
On the up side, though, we didn't spend
a lot of time indoors, and it occurs to me
, that maybe Mama and Daddy might have
had the right idea after all. I don't remem-
ber anybody using such endearing clichds
as "couch potato" while I was growing up,
but with no great cushy sofa to slump into,
we generally abandoned the television for
something more entertaining and physical
out of doors. "
I don't want to give the impression that
we didn't have family time in the living
room. Far from it. Every Sunday night
without fail %\e watched Mutual of Omaha's
"Wild Kingdom"; Mama in her no-non-
sense Mother's Chair, Daddy in his hol-
lowed out Daddy's Chair,. and all four of us
kids scattered in the floor in front of the
television like' a bunch of puppies.
The orange couch sat against the wall
and, sax\e for the cloud floating across that"
one cushion, looked as new as the day it
was brought into the house.-
