Thursday, October 6, 2005 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.

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. See COUNCIL 2A 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 See FCAT 7A 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. 105th Year, No. 43 3 Sections.

Land prices have increased greatly the past year or tvo in Hardee County. The USDA citrus estimate will be out later this month. There will like- ly be a smaller than normal crop due to hurricanes, canker and residential development. Some small grove owners in this area have stopped taking care of their groves due to recent low prices. Citrus prices are coming back up, howev- 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.

By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate "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.

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. With no opposition, they are, returned to office without a vote.

Then, the town clerk called thpe state Department of Revenue "They said it was not an issue," lie reported.

Lairsey went on to explain that Dear Editor, As interim chairman of the.To.wn C6ifi dil for the final appio,.al -f 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. the origin.I hutdget,.presented .it it, first public hearing, did bal.ince "But ltere w's a mistake nI.ide I l',cail ien ic ,e and the f ni-.l n e. t ra-p, I-' ,incr '\a's made he said,,- ,till, n!,i ir numbers *"vnair, e,^" the same.

By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate 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.

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. After a good return, junior Lady Cats watch return sail way over them. Gloria Soils (13) serves to start the second game.

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.

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. r My rppa ...

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.

Seaman had only. 30 correct answers and Kelly had not completed the test by press time;. 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.

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. PHOTOS BY RALPH HARRISON Quarterback Weston Palmer hands off to Brad-iliac Gilliard as offensive line surges forward. 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 See WILDCATS 4B Cats were all over on defense, beating Streaks to the scene. Pablo Anselmo (82) prepares to kick another PAT as Will Krause (8) sets up the football.

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: "I see this church continuing to 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.

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.

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.

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.

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- See VOLLEYBALL 3C An opponent attempts a block as Lady Wildcats are ready for action.

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.

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: 200-300 lbs., 135.00-175.00; 300-400 lbs., 110.00-142.50; and 400-500 lbs., 100.00-123.00. 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. PHOTOS BY RALPH HARRISON Heather McKinney sets up a return as (from left) D. K.

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.

Bay St., Wauchula, 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. Angelica Aguilai iarza, 21, of 627 Green St., Wauchula, Stephanie Ann 1Escobedo, 19, of 5110 Mason/Dixon Ave., Bowling Green, Maria Isabel Garduno, 21. of 639 Green St., Bowling Green, and Laura Naranja, 20, of i09 N.

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.

SC The Herald-Ad vocate October 6, 2005 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 COURTESY PHOTO Clark 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 ; ."ik o.'' mi S w * 4D no -rNW dwC -0 CO ? b- a > *0 0 M o 10 70, you were dismissed and shipped home with no questions asked. 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.

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.- L~ags Frm Th Pas I ~ i Ve]BUIIIU 57i There's nothing in the world so On November 28, 1929, Ernie ing all 40 points (6 touchdowns, 4 demoralizing as money.
