Everyone in the state "should,
closely monitor the progress of
extremely dangerous Hurricane
Wilma," says a release from the.
National Hurricane Center at 11

updates are given about every three
hours.

Fatalities


Reach 7
By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
A Wauchula man has succumbed
to the injuries he received in a traf-
fic crash last month.
Otis Jenkins, 68, P.O. Box 2273,
died on Wednesday night of last
week at Tampa General -Hospital,
where he had been airlifted by
medical helicopter following the
Sept. 9 crash.
Florida Highway Patrol Cpl. E.J.
Finneran said the collision occurred
at U.S. 17 North and Will Duke
Road at 5:30 in the afternoon.
He said Jenkins was driving a
1996 Chevrolet pickup truck east-
bound on Will Duke Road. As he
approached the intersection with
the new northbound lanes of U.S.
17, he failed to stop for the stop
sign there. His truck entered U.S.
17 in the path of a northbound vehi-
cle, Finneran said.
That vehicle, a 1988 Chevrolet
pickup truck driven by Alberto
Ortiz-Vicente, collided with the
right side of Jenkins' truck, sending

Construction of the four-lane

in late Spring 2006, said Hunt.
"Extenuating. circumstances from


last year's multiple hurricanes and
the collapse of an arch culvert on
the northbound lanes has set us

Saturday night or Sunday. With
hurricane force winds of 175 mph
and higher gusts near its center,
Wilma's tropical storm force winds
extend outward 160 miles.
Unless it continues on its. north-
west track and does not turn as
expected because of a low pressure
system coming south, Hurricane
Wilma will drop 10 to 15 inches of
rain and topple trees and power

A crash on the corner of Manley and Griffin roads has put several people in the hospital. At 12:50 p.m. Sunday, Kate Collier, 54, of
3752 Penny Dr., Zolfo Springs, was driving a 1999 Ford pickup south on Manley Road along with Roy Collier, 58, of the same
address, and four children when she ran the stop sign and crashed into another 1999 Ford pickup, driven by Phillip Bumby, 58, of
793 Bumby Lane, Wauchula, who was traveling east on Griffin Road. Neither of the Colliers was wearing seat belts, said Florida
Highway Patrol Tpr. Joseph M. Franza Jr. in a report. Sitting in the back bed of Collier's truck were children: Michael Collier, 11,
Jason Hearns, 4, Brandon Driggers, 6, and Xander Hearns, 2. As the pickups collided, Collier's vehicle flipped over and all of the
children in the back were ejected. They all sustained serious injuries and were transported to Florida Hospital in Wauchula, Franza 1
said. Kate Collier received minor injuries, while Roy Collier received serious injuries and was transported to Tampa General
Hospital. Bumby received serious injuries as well, and also was airlifted to Tampa. Franza said charges are still pending investi-
gation.


Hardee High's varsity football journey in 2005 continues with
Homecoming Friday night at Wildcat Stadium against the Haines City
Hornets. Hardee will be seeking a 40th consecutive regular season win.
In a common opponent, Hardee defeated Bartow 21-14 and Haines
City won over the Yellow Jacket, 7-6.
Last week Hardee's offense woke up in the second half as the Cats
defeated Avon Park 27-7. Hardee trailed at the half 7-0. Last week a strong
Lakeland Kathleen Red Devil team blanked Haines City 35-0.
Retired head football coach Don Herndon of Wauchula took the
Wildcats to the state game in the 1960s. Hardee was soundly defeated in the
title game in Gainseville by Starke.
Herndon was not rehired after, the teacher walkout. He then became
head coach at Haines City and won a state title a few years later with the
Hornets.
Different players seem to step up for the 2005 Wildcats each week.
Hardee's punt and kick teams have been very consistent. The defense has
generally been solid. Hardee's offense has sometimes been hit and miss but
in, the clutch has come through with an impressive run and throw game.
Hardee has qualified for the state playoffs with wins over Sebring and
Avon Park.

lier this year. The State
Attorney's Office, however,
has since signed a non-prose-

sons mentioned. Sharon J.

west side of the roadway.
Ortiz-Vicente,.38, P.O. Box 122,
Bowling Green, was seriously
injured in the wreck, Finneran said.
He was taken to Florida Hospital
Wauchula.
Both drivers were alone in their
vehicles, and both were wearing
their seat belts, the corporal added.
Jenkins' death became the sev-
enth on Hardee County roadways
so far this year.

It is surprising what a man can
do when he has to, and how lit-
tle most men will do when they
don't have to.


WILMA
Continued From 1A
Wilma was barely a Category One
hurricane. During the night, the
central pressure dropped 86 points
to a record low of 862 millibars,
which has been confirmed by storm
aircraft. This drastically increased
its intensity to a top Category Five
hurricane as it headed toward Cuba.
(A hurricane becomes a Category
Five when it reaches 155 mph).
Schools Superintendent Dennis
Jones reported late Wednesday
morning that he had just completed
a conversation with Emergency
Management Director Rich Shep-
herd, who was heading back from
training in Tallahassee.
"Based on that information at
10:30 a.m., the bulk of the severe
weather is supposed to hit here
Saturday with storm force winds,
but we know anything unexpected
can happen. Hurricane Charley
proved that. As always, we will
exercise an abundance of caution.
As of this time, we will have
school on Thursday and Friday and
the Homecoming Parade and game
on Friday night. We are going to
cancel the Homecoming Dance for
Saturday night. It most assuredly
will not happen," he stated.
"We are looking at two options,
having it Friday night, which is not
good so late after the game, or sim-
ply postpone it a week, Which we
decide will depend on the availabil-
ity of the Agri-Civic Center and the
dee-jay from Tampa. Nothing has
been firmed up," Jones cautioned.

Continued From 1A
Thompson Creek and the Main
Street decorative crossings. ',
One plan in the offing is to
restrict truck traffic on Main Street,
working with Wauchula and the
county to clearly design an alter-
nate route, possible diverting west--
bound truck traffic at City Hall.
"If signalization is necessary to
do this, who will pay for it?" asked
Norris. "If it's on any state road and
not the result of development, we
will plan for it in the work pro-
gram," responded Hunt.
. Another issue' was the traffic,
backup on Main Street. "The tim-
Jng was 'adjusted, but when the
power is out, it reverts to a default
system. As soon as construction "is
done, we will study the traffic pat-
tern and signalization to retime it,"
said Hunt.
Truck traffic and crossovers on
Stenstrom Road was a big concern.
Hunt said DOT will modify the
northeast corner so northbound
traffic can swing without getting
into the eastbound lane.
There were internal improve-
ments made at the Cattle Market
and Chapman's so there is drive-
way access, which "i's i'ffet& d by


the temporary curbs- installed to.
limit truck traffic. Encourage dri-.T
vers to follow those, suggested
Hunt.,
Albritton questioned the signage.
for "no trucks" at' Stenstrom and
Carlton streets. "What about local
deliveries?" he asked. There will be
crossovers at Townsend and Oak
streets as well as Main Street and
Sterner Road. DOT will look at'
access to local streets, said Hunt.
The .final issue was flooding at'
', W1ill Duke Road. "It's a natural
.waterconveyance, but we will go
-.back, and review it' and 'work with


your staff," said Hunt.
Johnson asked about flooding by
the Ford dealership at the north end
of town.
Rolando Luis Jr, project engineer
for URS Corp., which is managing
the U. S. 17 project, said there was -
no road activity there which should
impact the dealership. Drain lines
are being installed in the median
and the adjacent lanes being milled
and resurfaced, but that is south of
the dealership. Drainage is being
directed to a retention pond on the
east side of the highway, not on the
west side, he added.


Dear Editor,
This. letter 'is in regard to those
that have been destructive to our
tent and stolen chairs and our light
we, had, besides beer bottles and
cigarettes on the' ground.
You. are advocates of the devil,
but. we are praying, for your salva-'
tion. We don't know who you are,
but God does and you can't come
againstt "God's inifnistry 'and His


people without reaping from it.
This ministry is being used to
help people be delivered from their
bondages and working with- teens.,
also, and we use the tent area when
the weather permits for the teens,
so we can see why the devil and his
advocates don't like us.

HJHS


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
When the Hardee Junior High
Schbol has its final home game
next week, there will be barbecue
chicken dinners on sale before the
game.
Visitors and parents alike are
able to get the BBQ dinners at the
HJHS cafeteria for $6, says Athletic
Director. John Szeligo.
The Cats will host southern rival
DeSoto next Tuesday, Oct. 25, at
Wildcat Stadium at 5:30 p.m.
The season finale will be a
rescheduled game at Sebring on
Tuesday, Nov. 1.
This week's game was also on
the road, at Lake Placid Middle
School. Results were not available
at press time.
In last week's game at Hill-
Gustat, "Hardee made mistakes
that resulted in points for our oppo-
nent. If we had caught two passes
and made three tackles, we .would
have won the game. We as coaches
have to get back to basics," said
Hardee head coach Gregg White.
The junior high Cats lost to Hill-
Gustat 28-14. The fifth quarter was
a scoreless time.
The.game opened with Hardee's
Josh Hernandez kicking off to Hill-
Gustat. Five plays later the Golden
Eagles scored on a 30-yard run and
tacked on a two-point conversion to
lead 8-0.


BBQ And Football


Lincoln Saunders returned the
ensuing kickoff to the V" dcat 42.
On the next play, a fumble gave the
ball back to Hill-Gustat with Ezayi
Youoyoute downing the runner.
David Richardson stopped the next
runner behind the line of strim-
mage.. Then, the Golden Eagles
got moving, crossing the goal line
for a TD. The conversion point
went awry. It was 14-0.
Hardee took almost a dozen
plays, with Jake Mayer, Tylar
Alden and Antjuan Jones toting the
football. Jones went up the middle
for the touchdown. Youyoute tried
to go around the right side for a
two-point conversion, but it came
up short.
A Hill-Gustat runback went the
distance for an 85-yard TD to up
the Golden Eagle score to 20-6.
Jarimee White returned the Hill-
Gustat kick 15 yards to put the
junior Cats in business at the Eagle
45. Hardee runs went backward and
Leon Faulkner punted.
Shortly, Hardee took over on
downs, but fumbled to give the ball
back to Hill-Gustat to run out the
clock with a 20-6 lead.


Early in the third quarter, the
teams exchanged punts twice.
Finally, Anthony Valdez -downed
the punt on the Hardee 41. A pass to
Nicholas Battle over the middle
was good for the touchdown five
plays later. Youyouote went around
right end for the conversion and it
was a 20-14 game.
Hill-Gustat then got momentum
for its final score, a touchdown run
up the middle, followed by a scoot
around the left end for a two-point
conversion. It was a 28-14 game.
The regulation game ended that
way.
In the fifth quarter, which allows
younger or less experienced players
to get some experience, each team
started at its 40. Hardee had the ball
first and was unable to score in its
four-minute stint. Michael
Forrester was at quarterback, using
Tony Rodriguez, Kelsheem White
and Caleb Reas to gain yardage.
Hill-Gustat was also unable to
score. An interception by Kendall
Mink, a sack by Faulkner, forced
fumble recovered by Hardee and
yet another sack kept the Golden
Eagles out of the end zone.


Lady Cats Win



District Opener


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
WOW!
Volleyball action is in the news.
The Hardee Lady Wildcats won
their opening game of the 2005 dis-
trict playoffs on Tuesday night.
I The Hardee girls battled back
and forth with the Sarasota Booker
Lady Tornadoes to take a tough
five-set win 25-16, 11-25, 26-24,
19-25, 15-12 in a marathon early
match.
The win placed Hardee in a
Wednesday night match at 7:30
against top-seeded DeSoto, which
had drawn a bye. The Lady
Bulldogs have the added advantage
of hosting the Class 4A District 10
playoffs.
With the junior varsity finishing
up last week, junior Juliann Davis,
sophs Gloria Solis and Jerrica
Grimsley, and freshmen Kember
Townsend and Kristen Robertson
moved up to help the varsity, which


MY UNCLE

KONG TOOK

ME To

THE RODEO

By: Dr. Ross A. Hendry,
DVM


One of those times I wrote about last week when my Uncle Kong came
by and said "Come go with me boy" was on my sixth birthday. He took
me to a rodeo in Lakeland where he was going to enter the bulldogging
competition.
The thing I vividly remember was standing behind the chutes holding
the horse when a little black boy came up to him and said, "Boss, you
want to win today?" Kong said he intended to win, but the boy was deter-
mined.
He said "Well, if you give me a quarter and rub my head you'll win
the bulldogging." Kong really did intend to win, but he gave the boy p
quarter and asked him to hold his horse while he went to pay his entry

Kong won the bulldogging competition that day and I remember
what he won. It was exactly $254, but, of course, that was .hen Cokes
were a nickel and gas was 21 cents a gallon.
The most incredible thing about it all was that he spent $75 on a pair
of cowboy boots for me (photo enclosed) with brown bottoms, blue tops
with white butterflies on them. I think I just floated in the air back to
Wauchula wearing that pair of boots.,
As I look back on it Ithink it is hard to believe the percentage of his
winnings he spent on me just to make my day. It is hard to say whether
the trip or the boots was a bigger thrill, but it was just an incredible day
for a six-year-old boy, which was typical of a day with Uncle Kong.

By JIM KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate
Randy Mink and Perry Knight on
Tuesday night, Oct. 11, were.sworn
in as city commissioners l in:
Bowling Green by city attorney
Gerald Buhr. They drew no opposi-
tion so a fall election was not need-
ed.
Mink, a former city mayor, will
replace Woody Caligan who
declined to seek re-election.
The commission voted to elect
Knight to continue as mayor,; and
Fern Gibson was selected to be vice
mayor.
,The commission approved a
house grant change for Willa Mae
Lee. David Fox of Fred Fox
Enterprises said five new houses
will be under construction in the
city in October. .
Betty Croy of Hardee County
Economic Development explained
the, Enterprise Zone to the city
commission. The zone runs along
U.S. 17 and includes all of Bowling
Green. Thie zone also runs along.the
Ona-Fort Green road and consists
of, 15 square miles plus'another 5
square miles that can be designated
later.' ,
' "The Enterprise Zone is the basis
for job creation. There is an indus-
trial corridor in Fort Green and
commercial and business corridor
along Highway 17. There are tax'
credits for new job creation. An
employer cana get 35 to 40 percent
of new employees' wages back as a
tax credit."
Croy said Hardee County has
640 square miles. She said a world-
wide manufacturing company has
expressed'interest in locating at the
county's new industrial park along
Hwy. 62.
The commission approved a res-
olution supporting the Enterprise
Zone.
' The commission approved a zon-
ing variance for Jerry Conerly on,
the old. Bass property on Lake
Branch Road so Conerly can build-
ing two single family homes on lots
that are 75 by 100 feet, or 7,500
square feet.. The regular zoning
calls for a minimum of 9,000
square feet for a lot. The homes
will be about 1,290 square feet and
have 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and be
concrete block stucco.
Dee Williams-Tatis asked about
Young Talented People Association
buying or leasing some of the city's
acreage .east of Lake Branch Road
near the sewer plant. She is looking


for a business or industrial site.
City manager David Elbertson was
asked to see if Mack Driskell has
an. option: on the property and
report on the status at next month's


meeting.
Williams also said workforce
housing is needed on vacant lots in
the city.
The commission voted to raise


was without senior Heather
McKinney, who suffered a shoulder
injury in last weekend's tourna-
ment, and junior setter Danielle
Hines, who went down with a knee
injury early in the season.
The Lady Cats feature seniors
Micaela Hall and Santresa Harris,
juniors D. K. Davis, Jahna Davis,
Madison Graham, Bethany Lang
and Sarah Mahoney, and sopho-
more defensive specialist Marissa
Hall. The girls, improving each
game, getting closer and closer to
beating top opponents,' took the
first game to Booker and warred
over five long games, point for
point.
"The girls played great; it was
truly a team effort. They talked to
each other and were discipline.
Except for a few scoring streaks by
Booker, the girls werestrong," said
elated head coach Ken Leupold,
after his initial "WOW!"
Details of game action will be in
the next issue along with the semi-
final game report.




Having once decided to achieve
a certain task, achieve it at all
costs of tedium and distaste.
The gain in self-confidence of
having accomplished a tiresome
labor is immense.
-Arnold Bennett


water and sewer rates.
New residential water rates will
be $10.28 for the first 4,000 gallons
and $1.50 a month for each addi-
tional 1,000 gallons.
New commercial water rates are
$12.28 for the first 4,000 gallons
and $1.50 for each additional 1,000
gallons a month.
The new sewer and water rate for
Avion Palms RV Park and Pioneer
Creek RV Park is $36.31 a month
per RV lot multiplied by .4166 to
adjust for seasonal usage.
Randy Mink's motion to approve
the building of five single family
homes on the Page property .on
Spruce Street near the mobile park
died for lack of a second. The lots
would have been 50 feet wide.
Elbertson said playground equip-
ment will, be ordered for the com-
m nity park and for Pyatt Park.
The city has a state grant for
$2.25 million following the hurri-
canes that will be used for infra-
structure, said Elbertson.
The commission approved an
interlocal agreement with Hardee
County for building code enforce-
ment, permitting and inspection
services.

State Offers Youth


Hunting Opportunities


By, MICHAEL KELLY
For The Herald-Advocate
The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC)
believes it is important for children
to take up the sport of hunting.
FWC has developed a program to
give children ages 8 to 16 a quality
hunting experience.
Four youth-only hunts are
offered each year. They are given
away by a lottery basis to those
who apply. Two hunts are held at
the Andrews area near Chiefland
and the other two are at Camp
Blanding near Starke. A two-day
waterfowl season is also added at
the end of the regular waterfowl
season.
These hunts are intended to be
high quality and are run by FWC
officers and volunteers. They allow
youngsters to take a deer or wild
hog.
My 13-year-old brother- Jonathan
was selected for a hunt at Camp
Blanding on .October 8-9. I went
with him in hopes of helping him
harvest ,a deer. We were very
pleased with the way the hunts


were run and by the kindness of the
people. They all seemed eager to
help in any way possible.
A designated area was assigned
to us in which to hunt, and we were
carried to and from our hunt loca-.
tions. We saw a buck and a doe but
were unsuccessful in our efforts.'
Whenever we left they, had killed
two wild hogs and three deer.
Although we did not harvest a.
deer we had a wonderful weekend-
just being able to spend time in the
woods.
The state is looking for more
opportunities to be able to offer
kids a chance to hunt who would
normally not be able to. Children
can learn many life lessons from
hunting. Patience, persistence and
preseverance are all tools that chil-
dren can pick up on while hunting.


When a friend is in trouble,
don't annoy him by asking if
there is anything you can do.
Think up something appropri-
ate and do it.

Drug 1

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Eight people have been arrested
in yet another reverse-sting opera-
tion conducted by the Hardee
County Inter-Agency Drug Task
Force.
In a reverse sting, undercover
officers move into an area known
for its drug activity. They set up
shop on a street corner, pose as
drug dealers and make sales.
Then, detectives waiting nearby
monitoring the trade are given a
"take down" signal and swoop in to


-arcia Hall


rask Force Sti


make the arrests.
This time, the reverse sting took
place at the corner of Will Duke
Road and Lincoln Street in .
Wauchula. Officers stayed at that
intersection from around 2 to 7
p.m., according to sheriff's Maj.
Claude Harris Jr., a spokesman for
the Drug Task Force.
Harris said the local task force -
comprised of the Hardee County
Sheriff's Office, the Wauchula
Police Department and the Bowling
Green Police Department was
joined by the Okeechobee County


DRY WEATHER ALLOWS HARVESTING
Mostly dry warm conditions allowed field activities to progress on
schedule throughout the week of Oct. 10-16. Temperatures in the major sta-
tions averaged two to five degrees above normal. Daytime highs were
mostly in the 80s with some localities recording at least one daytime high
in the 90s. Pleasant evening temperatures were mainly in the 50s and 60s
with some areas receiving at least one nighttime low in the 70s.
Most localities recorded no measurable rainfall for the week in the
Panhandle and northern Peninsula. Many central Peninsula areas received
only traces, if any rainfall. However, slightly over three inches fell in
Daytona Beach. In the southern Peninsula, Immokalee received no rainfall
and other areas received from traces to over an inch in Miami.

Field Crops
Dry w weather helped peanut and cotton harvesting to advance. Peanut
digging was 68 percent done by Oct. 16 versus 78 percent completed by
this date last year and the five-year average of 80 percent. Peanut condition
was rated five percent poor, 40 percent fair, 45 percent good and 10 percent
excellent. In Madison County, sporadic showers delayed some peanut har-
vesting with the quality lowered due to the excess time the crop laid on top
of the ground after digging. ,
In Santa Rosa County, producers started defoliating the oldest cotton
fields, with harvesting running late due to late- plantings and the effects of
the earlier tropical storms. Sugarcane harvesting started in the Lake


Letter To The Editor

October Is Domestic

Violence Awareness Month


Dear Editor,
The statistics are staggering.
Every year, between 3.3 and 10
million children witness domestic
violence in 'the United States. In-
2003-2004. Florida's domestic vio-
lence centers responded to 132,629
crisis calls-and provided emergency
shelter to 14,467 individuals, pri-
marily more survivors of domestic vio-
lence do not report their abusers to
the police, and for this reason, we
may never know% the true extent of
,abuse in our country and in our
state. .
Domestic violence is a brutal
cycle, that destroys, thousands of
homes and families. It cultivates
fear and anger in our youth, causing
desperate children and teens to
drop out of school, commit crimes,
abuse drugs and give up the dream
of a better life. Their hope is sur-
rendered, the promise of a -better.
tomorrow forgotten.
, AtKids Hope 'United, we work
daily to protect these children and
strengthen families, just as we have
been doing for more than a century.
We seek to restore hope to thou-
sands each year and end" this
destructive cycle of abuse.
October is Domestic Violence
Month, a time when communities
can join together to reduce domes-
tic violence. We at Kids Hope
United wani to salute all of our fos-
ter and. adoptive parents in our
communities who have joined us in
the fight against violence by pro-
viding, a safe home and devoted
care to vulnerable children.
These individuals offer a future
full of possibilities that these chil-
dren would not otherwise know.
Thank you for sharing your home,
your love and your encouragement.
Thank you for giving the hope of
tomorrow back to our youth.
Domestic violence is a monu-
mental problem that requires the
attention ofentire communities. We
all haye a role to play in the fight to
end abuse. Whether it be fostering a
child or simply supporting your
local child care system, we invite
you to participate in Domestic
Violence Awareness Month and
bring hope back to children and
families every here.
Sincerely,
Evelio Torres

Sheriff's Office and the Lake Wales
Police Department for the Oct. 7
undercover operation.
He termed it "very productive."
Harris noted officers first took an
alleged dealer into custody as they
claimed the street corner for their
illicit trade. Next came seven
alleged customers.
A reverse sting just seven weeks
ago on the same street corner land-
ed 13 suspects in jail. Harris
pointed to the success of such oper-
ations, and promised "there will be
more in the future."

Like the last reverse sting, the
officers turned dealers sold both
cocaine and marijuana.
"Whatever the customer wanted,"
Harris said. Sales varied from $5
to $20. 1
In all instances but one, the
alleged customers drove up for
"curb service." One man rode a
bike to the street corner. Two of
*the drivers were juveniles, each
with passengers in their cars.
Those arrested and their charges
were:
Vincent Earl Everett, 25, of


Okeechobee area. Hay baling was active in Taylor County with hay quali-
ty in good condition despite insect pressure.
Across the Panhandle and northern Peninsula, topsoil and subsoil
moisture, supplies were rated mostly short to adequate. Holmes and
Washington counties reported spots of very short soil moisture, while
Union County reported some localities with surplus soil moisture. Most
central and southern Peninsula counties reported short to mostly adequate
soil moisture supplies, with Hernando and Brevard counties reporting some
areas with surplus soil moisture.

Vegetables ,
Dry weather coupled with plenty of sunshine allowed planting to
progress on schedule in most areas. Growers around Palm Beach expect to
begin harvesting winter vegetables around early November. Tomato pick-
ing continued in the Quincy area. Dade County growers continued to cut
okra.
Saturated fields from continuous.rains in parts of Dade County delayed
fall planting by two weeks. Vegetable growers laid plastic and some trans-
planting began in Dade 'County. Producers marketed light amounts of
watermelons, cucumbers, eggplant and squash.
Livestock
Pasture in the Panhandle ranges from poor to excellent with most in excel-
lent condition. The planting of small grains for winter grazing began.
However, pasture is getting short and lack of moisture delayed the planting'
of cool season forages, Cattle condition is good to excellent. Pasture con-
dition in the northern areas is poor to good, with most in fair condition due,
to drought and insect damage. Cattle condition is mostly good. Some army-
worm pressure persists on new growth in well fertilized hay fields. Forage
crops are threatened by late in the season spittlebugs and armyworms/loop-
ers.
In the central areas. pasture condition is poor to excellent with most in
good condition. Along the Atlantic coast, a lot of pasture is too % eit t' gath-
er ctte and \ean cal\es Cattle condition is mostly good.
In the southwest areas. pasture condition is very poor to'good andcat-
tIe condition is mostly good. State. ide, imo.st of the cattle are in good con-
dition.
F. it
Citrus: On aLerage, temperatures were warmer in citrus-producing
counties, cooling down toward the end of the week. Highs were in the upper
80s to low 90s. Lo- s went down to at least the mid'60s in all areas, with
the lowest in the extreme northern citrus areas at 54 degrees. Rainfall var-
ied from less than an inch in Sebirtigto no rain in the center of the state and
in the north. New crop fruit is generally quite uniform. Maturity levels on
late oranges are running close to normal. while earlies and mids continue to
lag far behind compared to prev ious seasons.
Grapefruit maturity levels are slightly behind last year. Sizes are small-
er than normal on all varieties. Early oranges and grapefruit are showing
good color break.
g Grove owners mowed middles, pulled vines and cleaned groves as
harvesting got under way. Ten fresh fruit packing houses and three small
juice plants are open. Varieties being packed included Fallglo tangerines,
Amber s".eet and Na\el oranges and grapefruit.


GIVING
I have started reading through the Gospel according to Luke in my
morning readings. Today, I was reading Luke "6 and the sermon that Jesus
gave to the people.
Among teachings about the Sabbath, the beatitudes and commandments
regarding how we treat and look at one another, Jesus makes a very pro-
found statement. He states that we are to "give to everyone who 'asks of
you", (6:30).
What a hard statement to swallow! I know that personally, I work hard
for my money. I don't have much of it lying arourid to be handed out. And,
we, as Americans, are constantly bombarded with request after request for
the needs of the less fortunate and the needy. Even on the news I have'
recently heard reports about non-profit corporations which are going to go
without -for a while because there have been so many disasters lately that
people are funning out of money to give away!
And if being asked'-to'give to the legitimate needs of others is not
enough, we are really thrown off by the amount of people in the world who
try and get money when they don't really need it. There are people in the
\ world who make a living by doing nothing. It seems that they work harder
trying to get money for free than they would have to.work for the money in
the first place. It is pathetic, because those who really need the money often
go without and those who dishonestly receive the money have more than
they deserve.,
So what do we, who want to do good with those blessings that we have
received from God, do to obey this very direct command that we read in
Luke 6? Just that! Give!
Now, remember that even Jesus did not heal everyone and we cannot
expect ourselves to give to every cause. We need to decide what cause is just
and true. Even Paul told the Christians at Thessalonica that "if anyone will
not work, neither shall he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). There is nothing
wrong with us choosing those whom we share our blessings with-based on
actual true need. That is, as long as we are willing to share with others! Paul
teaches us through the book of Ephesians that we are to work so that we will
have and will also be able to share with others (Ephesians 4:28).
Let us not forget our responsibility to help others. That is what makes'
a good neighbor. That is what make s a good Christian. I'm Telling the
Truth'! ,

second half of last week's game.
The victory puts the Cats in a tie
with DeSoto for the district leader-
ship, each sporting 2-0 records.
However, Hardee is 7-0, while the
Bulldogs are 5-3 overall. Improv-
ing in every game, the DaIvgs
expect to challenge the Wildcats for
the Class 3A-District 12 champi-
onship on Oct. 28. The district
champion will get to host the first
round of playoffs, probably against
District 11 runner-up Jesuit, which
lost 35-14 to Sarasota Booker
Friday night.
Immediately on the horizon,
however, is this week's Home-
coming 2005 game against the vis-
iting Haines City Hornets, which
lost their 3A-10 game 35-0 to a
powerful Lakeland Kathleen squad.
The 4-3, 2-1, district runner-up
Hornets are led by quarterback
Kendall Berry (2), who can also
move to running back as needed.
When Darrel Sermons (7) moves to
quarterback, he can use Berry or
245-pound fullback: Akeem Jones,
(32).

back Weston Palmer with fullback

each game.
Defensive coordinator John
Sharp has a bunch of defenders.
This week, he named senior
Jackson Frenot as player of the
week. "He did exactly what we
asked him to do and had good suc-

cess, seven tackles and a key pass
breakup," said Sharp.
Joining him was classmate Jose
Salvadore, who caused a fumble
and recovered it. "He made it
where they wanted to go anywhere
else but where he was," comment-
ed Sharp. Jackson Mosley, another
senior, had three tackles for a loss
and returned a fumble for 50 yards
for a touchdown.
"The secondary did a good job,
holding the Red Devils to only 45
yards in the second half," said
Sharp as he mentioned sacks by
Pierre Lazarre and Michael
Carpenter, an interception by Chris
Rich and numerous tackles by
Ramon Hernandez, Briant
Shumard, Ricky Wiggins and oth-
ers. "They shut them down on the
ground and kept the pressure on
the quarterback, who had to pass
before he wanted to," said Sharp.
Offensively, senior Hodges
stepped up for 127 yards on 21 car-
ries, including a 22-yard TD run.
Gilliard added 10 carries for 39
yards and two touchdowns. Cimeus
had, nine carries for 47 yards and
Rich six carries for 25 yards.,
Palmet was three of seven in
passing, two going to Jermain King
for 34 yards and one to Rich for
seven yards.
Offensi %e player of the week was
senior lineman Justin English,
"vwho may have had the best game
of his career, grading out highest of


all linemen."
Rich was named Special Teams
player of the week for his returns,
offense and defense.
Junior lineman Eric Cobb took
the nod as Scout Team player of the
week for his work in practice last
week.
"Turnovers and mental mistakes
hurt the Wildcats in the first half.
We just have to quit letting some-
one get ahead of us to get us going.
After the early going, the defense
stopped the running game. A good
defense confuses the opposing
offense; it's a credit to our defen-
sive coaches," said head coach
Derren Bryan, who saw the blitz
work time and again in the second
half.

The game began with a Red
Devil possession, but for most of
the first half the teams traded own-
ership of the football. Each team
would make a little progress, then
stall.
With about two minutes left in
the half, Red Devil quarterback T.
K. Hill completed a pass over the
middle to his favorite target Taiwan
Perry for a 23-yard gain. On the
next play, Hill threw long for
Gerrard Coleman. Two Wildcat
defenders in succession tipped the
ball, and it fell neatly into the hands
of a running Coleman, who ran the
final 50 yards for a 62-yard pass
play for the first score of the night.
A Michael, Waggoner PAT kick
gave Avon Park a 7-0 lead at half-

time.
The second half belonged to the
Wildcats. The teams traded fum-
bles early on. About the middle of
the third stanza, Hardee started on
its own 46 and took just eight plays
to score. Hodges broke tackles and
kept moving for the final 22 yards.
A Pablo Anselmo kick knotted the
game at 7-all.
Barely two minutes later, a pass
went to Perry, who dropped the
ball. Hardee defender Mosley was
on the spot to scoop up the loose
ball and run 50 yards to score. With
the PAT, Hardee went in front for
good, 14-7.
On the ensuing kickoff, junior
Josh Mayer stopped T. J. Gordon
for a three-yard return. After Avon
Park was forced to punt, Hardee
had one play before the third quar-
ter was history.
Five plays into the fourth quarter,
Gilliard dove over,the pile of line-
men and into the end zone. The
Anselmo kick was blocked. Hardee
was up 20-7.
Hardee kicked off yet again.
Mayer and Mark St. Fort sand-
wiched the return man Bo
Commodore at the Red Devil 21.
On the first play from scrimmage,
Jayquan Gandy and Shumard
dropped the quarterback for an
eight-yard loss. On the next play,
Rich intercepted the ball at the
Avon Park 15.

JV Cats Bash Barons 21-0


PLANE PROJECT


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee junior varsity
Wildcats shut down the St.
Petersburg Catholic Barons last,
Thursday evening.
The young Cats upped their sea-
son record to 4-2, while taking the
game offensively and defensively
to the Barons at Wildcat Stadium.
Actually, the Cats are 4-0 since
changing their lineup and moving
Jordan Grimsley to tailback. The
sophomore gained 173 yards and
scored all three of the Wildcat
touchdowns. Conversion kicks by
Tyler Bumby were all successful,
too.
"These kids are hungry to win,
hungry to learn. The coaches did an
outstanding job preparing them. We
changed our scheme and the kids
keep improving every time out,"
said head coach Rod Smith.
"Our defense bent, but didn't
break. Postene Louisjeune had
three sacks and Marwin Simmons
did a good job in the secondary.
Coach (Todd) Bolin prepared them.
The St. Petersburg JV does .a lot
more than we think, they're a lot
like the varsity.
"The offensive line came togeth-
er, Coach (Dan) Duke has worked
with them. Coach (Barry) White is
offensive coordinator and had done
a great job. I call the defense, but
depend on coaches Bolin and Duke
for input," concluded Smith.'


Joining Grimsley in toting the
football were Gerardo Villegas,
Simmons, David Newcombe and
Devin Lampley. Quarterback Adam
Cartwright passes for 76 yards,
with receivers Dan Timmons,
Villegas and Grimsley catching the
ball.
Defensively, Pete Solis, Frank
Gross, Jorge Lopez, Louisjeune,
Trey Small, Joe Barton, Tim Selph,
Mark St. Fort, Newcombe,
Simmons and Tony Martinez were
spotted on the tackle parade. Lopez
and Barton each also had a sack.
Baron quarterback Kevin Tapp
got off one long pass to Johnny
Buster on St. Petersburg's first
series, before the Hardee defense
forced a punt.
Cartwright and company used up
the rest of the first quarter on a
long, slow drive downfield, getting
to the Baron 22 before stalling.
As the second period started, St.
Petersburg took over on downs and
went backward on penalties to the
4-yard line on a second and 28. An
18-yard pass play: to Ed Nobel
nearly got them out of trouble but
was still seven yards short of a first
down.
Hardee took the punt on its own
40-yard line! and took just five
plays to score. Grimsley went off
left tackle for the final four yards.
Bumby's kick made it 7-0.
On its next series, the Barons got
a 19-yard pickup on a reverse by

Nick Hess, but a 38-yard field goal
attempt went wide right. The teams
battled defensively for the rest of
the first half, with Hardee still up 7-
0 at halftime.
Lampley took the second-half a
kickoff 32 yards to get the junior
Wildcats going. Four plays later,
facing a fourth and 13, Hardee was
forced to punt. When the Barons
got to a fourth-and-18, they
returned the favor.
Hardee started again at its 34.
Nine plays later, Timmons took a
13-yard pass and the junior Cats
were looking at first and goal at the
4-yard line as the third period
ended.
On the first play in the fourth
quarter, Grimsley went around the.
right side to score. Bumby made it
a 14-0 game.
After trading possessions,
Hardee resumed its march to the
goal line. At the 15-yard line,
Cartwright passed to Grimsley at
the five and he dove the final yard
into the end zone for the final TD of
the evening. A Bumby kick was
again dead center for a 21-0 score,
the final of the game as the Barons.
were shut down for the last two
minutes of the game.
The crowd and Hardee JV cheer-
leaders Bailey Knight, McKenna
Crawford, Danielle Revell,
Ashleigh Alden, Chelsea Harris,
Bailee Williams, Jamilynn Hand,
Natalie Green, Amber Douglas,
Christina Skitka and co-captains
Ashlee Neuhauser and Leanna
Himrod gave the junior Cats a rous-
ing ovation as the teams shook
hands and met at midfield for
prayer.








A Daily Thought
THURSDAY
This is what the Lord says,
"Heaven is My throne and the
earth is My footstool. Where is
the house you will build for Me?
Where will My resting place be?
Has not My right hand made all
theses things, and so they came
into being?" declares the Lord.
Isaiah 66:1-2 (NIV)
FRIDAY
: always thank God for you,
Philemon, in my constant
prayers for you all, for. I have
heard how you love and trust
both the Lord Jesus Himself and
those who believe in Him. And I
pray that those who share your
faith may also share your knowl-
edge of all the good things that
believing in Christ Jesus can
mean to us.
Philemon 1:4-6 (PME)


SATURDAY
But the Lord rules forever. He
sits on His throne to judge, and
WHe ill judge the world in fair-
S ness; He will decide what is
best for the nations. The Lord
defends those who suffer; He
defends them in times of trou-
ble. Those who know the Lord
trust Him, because He will hot
leave those who come to Him.
Psalm 9:7-10 (NCV)


SUNDAY
With this in mind, What are we to
say? If God is on our side, who
is against us? He did not spare
His own Son, but gave Him for
us all; and with the gift, who can
He fail to lavish upon us all He
Shas to give?
Romans 8:31-32 (NEB)

MONDAY
Then, if My people will humble
themselves and pray and search
for Me, and turn from their
wicked ways, I will hear from

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson

THE URGENCY OF FAITH
If God's claim on our lives is as all-important as we say it is, when is
the appropriate time to respond?
A ridiculous question. NOW, of course! We choose any later time at our
soul's peril. How can it be anything else but an affront to Almighty God to
say, "Not now. I will consider your claims at a more convenient time!"
The significant thing about a preacher asking for a decision at the end
of his message is that it is the only appropriate response to a proclamation
of God's truth! It matters not that many have already heard it, maybe hun-
dreds of times. It remains urgent and ever-new. The overwhelming consid-
eration is the One who originates the message, not those who listen. We
must make it the first business of our lives to please and honor Him regard-
less of what others may say.
Also, we mortals are changing all the time, and we bring a new set of
attitudes, expections, hopes and apprehensions to church with us. What will
we decide this Sunday in terms of all we have experienced in the past seven
days? Once again, the supremacy of the One we worship calls for a new
affirmation.
Even if no one else within 100 miles responds to the gospel, the preach-
er extends an invitation to come to Christ, because he, if no other, compre-
hends something of the majesty of the One behind the invitation.
I think this applies not simply to sermons but to all the other contacts
of our lives. We must convey the urgency of the gospel. We are not hereto
intellectualize the decrees of heaven, but to issue a warning. Time is pass-
ing by. Judgment Day is ahead. It is awful to think of meeting the King
unprepared, speechless and terrified.
Oswald Chambers, author of "My Utmost for His Highest," says, "It is
essential to give people a chance of acting on the truth of God. The respon-
sibility must-be left with the individual. You cannot act for him. It must be
his own deliberate act, but the divine message ought always to lead a man
to act.
"The paralysis of not acting leaves me exactly where I was before.
However, once I act, I am never the same again. As soon as I precipitate
myself into an act, that second I live. The moments when I truly live are the
moments when I act with my whole will. .
"The feeblest saint who transacts business with Jesus Christ, is emanci-
pated the second he acts. The dominating power of the world, the flesh and
the devil is cancelled, not by his act, but because his. act ha linked him to
God and His redemptive power."

Habitat Happenings
By Julie Durrance

YARD SALE SATURDAY
October is a busy month for Habitat For Humanity. Work continues on
two houses in Wauchula and if all progresses as planned, our hard-working
homeowners will be living in their very own homes by Christmas.
Last month members of the First United Methodist churches of
Wauchula and Bowling Green worked together on house number three.
Electricians from Vandolah Power also installed wiring on house number
four. A great time of fellowship was enjoyed, and the Methodist folks are
challenging other churches to join their efforts. If you or your church would
-like to help, please contact volunteer coordinator Sherron Jensen at 773-
S-0579.
On Saturday Habitat will hold a yard sale in the parking lot of the dri-
ver's license office at Main Street and U.S. 17. The sale will include new
and lightly used furniture, appliances and building supplies (doors, win-
dows, lighting, fans, etc.). If you would like to donate items for the sale,
please contact the office at 773-0579 or President Pam Warren at 735-0645,
and we can make arrangements to pick up your donations.
Our affiliate recently went through a three year review by Habitat For
Humanity International. The review is done to make sure affiliates are fol-
lowing by-laws, rules and guidelines established by HFHI.
Habitat For Humanity of Hardee County received an excellent review,
and affiliate support manager Jill Olen commended our group for "the
incredible amount of progress in three years. You're building at an excellent
rate for an affiliate of your size and location." We credit this progress to
Jesus Christ and to the dedicated group of people who make up our affiliate
and to all those volunteers who help us build. We are so grateful.
Please pray for our continued progress and consider helping us in this
mission. We work every Saturday from 8 a.m'. to noon. In Waucliula, from
Florida Avenue take Alabama to Illinois Street and look for the Habitat sign.
And don't forget you can also support Habitat by eating pizza every
Wednesday at Pizza Hut. When you buy your meal, tell the cashier you sup-
port Habitat For Humanity and they'll donate a portion of the proceeds to
our affiliate.
Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the work
site!

Rich Shepard, (center), Hardee County Emergency Services Director, spoke to the Hardee Rotary
Club recently about his deployment to Mississippi as a public information officer following
Hurricane Katrina. He was one of '14,000 emergency workers from 39 states sent to Mississippi
to help, going to Hancock County, a county of 48,000 people bordered by the Pearl River and
Louisiana. The average volunteer kitchen served 2,000-3,500 meals a day. There was ice and
water at five locations, plus locations for clothing and personal care kits. About 3,000 pocket-
sized AM/FM radios were distributed. The storm surge was up to 20 feet high. Shepard said the
Wauchula Police Department sent two helpers; Hardee Sheriff's Office, four; Hardee Road and
Bridge Department, one; and Peace River Electric sent crews. The last hurricane to hit that area
hard-was.Camille in 1969. Shown with him are Lavon-Cobb.(left) and TroyBxanat.. .

'MY FIRST LITTLE RED



WAGON WAS BLUE!'


By LINDSEY ROPER
Special To The Herald-Advocate
My interview was on Billy G. Ward. I
asked him many questions and I saw how
interesting his life is and was. Here are
some of his responses:
Q: What type of clothes did you wear
back when you were my age?
A: Whatever was available. Back then,
we had hard times. But I liked wearing
overalls and jeans and a T-shirt. I was very'
lucky to have shoes. Many kids didn't have
shoes.
Q: What were the teachers like?
A: The teachers were good dedicated
people. They were very dedicated to teach-
ing, but they were strict too.
Q: What happened when you or
another student did something wrong?
A: That's an easy one! We got paddled.
Q: What toys did you play with?
A: Well, if we had toys it was toys that
someone had made for us. Little windmills.
Q: What kind of games?
A: Hide and Seek, Tin Can Alley, and
making tin can walkie-talkies.
Q: What type of music did you listen
to?
A: Country, gospel, big band and
Tommy Dorsey.
Q: Did you ever have a crush on an
actress?
A: Doris Day! She wouldn't marry me
so I married Blondie instead!
Q: What were family meals like?
A A: Well, we all ate together. It was a
quiet and peaceful time, to respect one
another and be thankful for what you had to,
eat, if you had anything.
Q: What was your favorite thing to
eat?
A: RC Cola and4Aoonpies. It wasfive
:cents for a cola and five cents for a
Moonpie.
Q: Anything else?
A: Oh, yeah, peanut Coke. I'd get a five
cent bag and a five cent coke from the drug
store, and put the peanuts in the Coke and
- 'drink and eat it at the same time.
Q: Speaking of costs, how much did
groceries cost?
A: Lots cheaper and lots better quality
and allot more quantity.
Q: What about Halloween?

S Lookin' Back

A: I loved it but some people hated it,
There were a lot of good clean tricks.

materialistic. It was a time to remember


Before he sets out, the traveler I have enough
must possess fixed interests and the rest of my
facilities to be served by travel, something.
-George Santayana


Christ's birth.
Q: What age did you start dating?
A: Well, we called it courting, but I
started courting at age 16. I still believe
that is the age everyone should start court-
ing.
Q: Where did you go?
A: To the drug store. In 1949 I starting
dating my wife now. We went to the drive-

A: Maybe two nights a week.,
Q: What were the issues then?
A:, Well, we really didn't have anything
near the issues we have today. There was-
n't much drugs that I:remember, because
kids hadn't heard of it, and if there was you
didn't have a way to get them. We didn't
have that much to get into.
Q: How are kids different now than
back then?
A: Well, kids back then had way more
respect than kids have today, not just for
older people but for kids our age, too.
Q: Did you always live in Florida?
A: No.
'Q: Where did you live before?
A: I lived in a little town- called Egypt,
Ark.
Q: When did you move to Florida?
A: In 1937. I was 6 years old at the
time. There were still road agents around
that would take your last dime. We moved
to College Hill.
Q: What did you think of Florida at
first?
SA Well, I didn't really like it. I missed
my other home. I was afraid to go outside
barefoot in fear that I might get on a sand
spur or a pile of ants.
Q: Why did you come to Florida in
the first place? -
A: Well, my fl[y wads in'search of a "
new life. Many people were. Those were
hard times and many people didn't see a
future. Those were the Dust Bowl Days.
Q: Do you remember your saddest
memory?
A: When my grandma died. And when I
saw that my first Little Red Wagon was
blue.

Biblical Astronomy
A Voice Crying In The Heavens
With
Robert Scott Wadsworth

Biblical Astronomer and Author Bob Wadsworth will reveal the ancient biblical names given to the
constellations and the planets using computer digital imagery projected onto a screen, as he narrates about the
following subjects; The Bible references that actually name the constellations and planets; Biblical Astronomy
versus Astrology; Where the constellations came from; The Biblical meanings of the constellations; Who
named the stars; The prophetic meaning of the names of the stars in light of the first and second coming of the
Messiah; Recent celestial events that point to the second appearing of Yahshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ).

Session 1: The Biblical meaning of the constellations and planets. The 48 constellations of the
Mazzaroth will be covered in relation to the first and second appearing of the Messiah, and their
relationship to Israel and the called out of God.

Session 2: The Fall of Adam, The Great Flood, The birth of Abraham; Dates for the Exodus;
The Assyrian captivity of the Ten Northern Tribes; The Babylonian captivity of Judah; The birth
of Jesus Christ; The Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension of Jesus Christ and Pentecost.

Session 3: This session will discuss very rare celestial events concerning the Second Coming of
the Messiah. From 1995 to the present certain events have happened that are pertinent to the
return of the Messiah. More unusual celestial events have occurred in the past eight years than at
any other particular time.

This is a fascinating journey of biblical truth that every Christian should experience. You will never look at the
sky and the stars the same ever again. We hope to see you there.

Freda's Foibles
By Freda B. Douglas


Last week I promised you an article on bankruptcy. This again is a part
of my life I prefer not to divulge, but if I can steer one scared, witless per-
son away from what seems like the only solution, then I will consider the
topic one of importance.
After my husband John died in 2001, I made some stupid mistakes.
One of the worst mistakes was if I "wanted" (you'll notice-I didn't say
"needed") something., and it could be purchased with a credit card, I went
ahead and bought it. The credit card had been heavily used when the house
air conditioner went bad and had to replaced when John was dying. I could
have handled that. on my very limited income, but then I started to buy
things I didn't need, but my physic told me "I had to have."
Then one month I found I couldn't pay my debt. I tried debt consoli-
dation, but that was an expensive farce of an idea. I called my friendly
banker and he suggested bankruptcy because "I had nothing except my
house, and the court couldn't take that."
Lo and behold, it costs money I didn't have to hire a lawyer to handle
the bankruptcy. I borrowed from a family member and raised the rest by
selling a used wheelchair, then I waited, parrying calls from creditors daily
until my case came up in federal court.
Bankruptcy saved my bacon, but it ruined my credit and my self-con-
fidence. My house was not touched, and I sold John's car before all this
happened.
I I had a call from- an anonymous concerned lady a few weeks ago
because a young friend of hers had gone through bankruptcy and then
immediately went back in debt by buying a new car. Let me tell that per-
son, whoever you may be, the bankruptcy laws have changed and as of Oct.
17 the courts can garnish your home to satisfy your debtors. I know you can
get credit cards after bankruptcy, even though it is foolish to do so. I must
throw four or five applications in the wastebasket every month. If you need
a card, get yourself a check or "debit" card. At least when you use them you
have to have money in the bank to cover your debit card. The merchant will
put your purchase through the bank, usually before you even get the mer-
chandise.
Take advice from a lady who's been there, done that. Keep a tight rein
on your money. Wait until you have cash before you buy something you
want, but don't really need.

Jennie B, a dear friend, gave me a bookmark for my 64th birthday with
a beautiful anonymous verse on it which I am still using. The verse goes
like this:
I got up one morning and rushed right into the day;
I. had so much to accomplish I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me and heavier came each
task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered. He answered
"You didn't ask."
I wanted to see grace and beauty, but the day toiled on, gray
and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me. He answered "You
didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence. I used all my keys in the
lock.
God gently and lovingly chided, "My child you didn't
knock."
.I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the
day;
I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

Above all, remember God loves all His creatures.

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The annual Hardee High alumni.
run is todaN (Thursday).
All Hardee cross country 'run-
ners, former runners, faculty and
others interested in competing at
5:30 today need to get with coach
Don Tre%\ as soon as possible. As a
last resort, show up in the faculty
parking lot before the meet.'
Hardee had a tune-up meet last
Tuesday at Pioneer Park, with run-
ners from Avon Park, DeSoto, Lake


Placid and Walker Academy also
taking part. Trew provided an
overview of the meet.
Jose Gutierrez led the boys to the
tape, setting a. new course record of
19:46. He and Justin Hines sand-
wiched a DeSoto runner, who came
in at 20:25, with Hines at 21:56.
Lee Cortez placed 16th with a time
of 32:42. Without a full. squad,'
Hardee did not have a team score.
Neither-did DeSoto. Walker won
the boys run, and Avon Park was
second.
Hardee girls took the team title,


using a tightly packed formation.
Liz Miller placed fourth overall
with a time of 29:25 for a school
record on the Pioneer Park course.
Cynthia Briseno pulled up lame.
Maricela Galvan was fifth at 29:26,
with Mandy Cornelius' sixth ,
. Christina Badillo seventh, Blanca
Ruiz 11llth and Nancy Ramirez 13th.
Behind them in the pack were
Lucy Ruiz, Laura Galvan, a mid-
dle-school runner who chose to run
the 5K instead of the 2-mile, Oralia
Aguire and Britni Gamble.


Wildcat Pair Go To Regional Golf


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Junior Justin Painter and soph
Kaleb Saunders achieved the near-
ly impossible.
Playing in a Class 1A District 16
which includes a contingent of pri-
vate schools which feature golf
tutors, the Wildcat duo managed to
be among the top three individuals
not on a winning team to advance
to regional playoffs.
Hardee finished sixth out of the
11 teams in District 12. Painter and
Saunders each came in at 79 on the
Lakewood Country Club course in
the Oct. 10 district meet. Jake
Lowe shot 90, Ben Krause 95 and
Brek McClenithan 101 during the
18-hole competition which started
early and ran late in the day.
Painter had a 78 in the regionals,
not quite good enough to advance
but "OK, except on the par 5s,"
,said Wildcat coach George Heine.
"Kaleb had a wild day off the tee,"
and finished with an unusually high
92.
Their competition at districts
included Bradenton Christian,
Sarasota Out-Of-Door Academy,
Sarasota Christian, Bradenton St.
Stephen's Episcopal, Manatee
HEAT, Bradenton Academy,
Braden River, Sarasota Cardinal
Mooney, DeSoto and Lake Placid,


instead of the interior counties
Hardee faced last year when it went
to state competition.
Hardee girls had a similar experi-
ence, although they hosted the dis-
trict meet on Oct. 10.
Coach Byron Jarnagin is also an
advocate of Hardee remaining with
the interior schools, such as
Frostproof, Lake Wales and Ridge
with which they could compete.
At the District 16 meet, 13-year-
old Hannah Yun led the field with a
73 on the 18-hole competition.
Behind her were Bradenton
Academy teammates Chandra Ines
at 76, Christina Miller 81, Emily
Kwak 83 and Caramia Sitompul
89. "Bradenton Academy, most
likely the lA state champion, had
the top five medalists. We can't
compete with. that," said Jarnagin.
The Academy's team total of 313
was vastly better than any competi-
tion. Saint Stephen's Episcopal
placed second with a 422 total.
Cardinal Mooney was next at 431,
Avon Park 472, Lake Placid 493
and Hardee 525. Braden River and
DeSoto did not post team scores as
they had less than five players.
Hardee girls had planned to fin-
ish up the regular season with a pair
of matches. Hosting Lake Wales at
Torrey Oaks on Oct. 3, the Lady
Cats trailed the Lady Highlanders,


which finished at 194. Hardee came
in at 263, with Lindsey Moye and
Kirsti Roehm each at 62, Ciara
Lambert at 63, Kristen Cumbee at
70 and Ashley Patarini at 72. The
second match, at Bartow, was can-
celled.
"The season has been a learning
experience for the girls, who are all
new to the sport. They are all
beginners and I hope they all come
back and do it again. It would be
great if they could get more experi-
ence in the summer, too," said
Jarnagin.
On the 18-hole competition,
Cumbee was low at 126, Moye
127, Lambert 132, Chancey 140
and Patarini 149. Lambert and
Moye are juniors, Cumbee and
Chancey are sophs and Roehm and
Patarini are freshmen.

50 YEARS AGO
The highest hopes and ambitions
of the Wauchula Garden Club were
realized when the opening meeting
of this club year was held in the
new Garden Center (pictured on
Page One).
The nucleus of this new building
was a concrete block shelter which
the city of Wauchula had built in the
park adjoining the Ausley
Memorial Library to be used for
picnics. Since there seemed to be
little demand for this, the City
Council offered to lease the build-
ing to the Garden Club if they
would complete the structure and
maintain the park grounds.
Much credit for the new Garden
Center is due to the untiring efforts
of Mrs. L.M. Carlton and Mrs. M.C.
Kayton, who have spearheaded the
Garden Center Committee for the
past several years.

Following is a list of the ladies
who recently worked long hours
making new drapes for Resthaven:

Inside Out
By Chip Ballard


BASEBALL GREAT TED WILLIAMS: AN AMERICAN HERO '
When spring is in the air, a young-man's fancy just naturally turns to
baseball. In 1938, a 20-year-old Ted Williams said, "All I want out of life
is that, when I walk down the street, folks will say, 'There goes the great-
est hitter that ever lived.' "
Most who know much about the game agree Williams achieved his
goal.
Theodore Samuel Williams was born Aug. 30, 1918, in San Diego,
Calif. He joined the Boston Red Sox in 1939. Keeping detailed records of
pitchers' habits, he became the first to turn hitting into a science.
Williams stood 6'3" and weighed 205 pounds. The "Splendid Splinter"
was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966. He died in Crystal
River on July 5, 2002.
He set numerous batting records despite missing nearly five full sea-
sons due to military service and major injuries. His accomplishments
include two Triple Crowns, two MVPs, six American League batting cham-
pionships, a .406 season in 1941, a lifetime average of .344, 521 home runs
and 17 All-Star Game selections.
In World War II and Korea, he served as a fighter pilot. He flew about
half of his missions in Korea with former astronaut and senator John Glenn.
Said Glenn, "There was no one more dedicated to this country, and no one
more proud to serve his country than Ted Williams."
The baseball player was no stranger to Hardee County. Joe Davis and
Doyle Carlton knew him well. Educator Al Pace was a hunting buddy of
Ted's. ,,
When Williams turned 40 and was nearing the end of his, career, he
slipped into a batting slump, hitting less than .300. Earning $125,000 per
year, he was the highest paid player in the game. (Today the average salary
is $2.8 million.) When the Red Sox offered to renew his contract for the
same salary, he balked.
Holding out for more money? No. To the contrary, he said he did not
deserve that much, and cut his own salary by 25 percent! Can you imag-
ine any player doing that today?
Williams rebounded and had a fine year.
Ted Williams's sense of right and wrong, his rugged insistence on hon-
esty and integrity is unheard of in the greedy grasping sports arenas in
today's America. Without Ted Williams, and the code of honor he lived by,
baseball is a far lesser sport.

Winds Down


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
A weekend tournament gave
Hardee help but also hindered the
Lady Cats.
The five-match tournament
upped the Lady Cats' chances in the
Class 4A-District 10 tournament
this week, but cost them the ser-
vices of senior Heather McKinney,
who suffered a shoulder injury and
is out for the playoffs, which are
being held at DeSoto.
Hardee rounded out its final
week of play with a Monday trip to
Frostproof, a Tuesday Senior Night
home clash with Lake Placid and
the weekend tournament at
Sarasota Booker. Two tight games
against the host Lady Tornadoes
may be just the thing to encourage
Hardee to victory in its first-round
playoff game on Tuesday night
against Booker. Details were
unavailable at press time.
Hardee started last week hoping
to avenge a five-set loss to
Frostproof earlier in the season. It
was not to be as Hardee lost 25-19,
25-22, 25-19.
In game one, it was D. K. Davis
with five service points for Hardee
nearly offsettihg those of Lady
Bulldog Hope Franklin, who had a
half dozen, including the final four
points. .
In game two, Sarah Mahoney
paced Hardee with six service
points, but Faith Franklin coun-
tered with eight for Frostproof.
Gloria Solis, just moving up
from the junior varsity, had five
service points for Hardee in game*
three.
In pre-game ceremonies on
Tuesday, Micaela Hall, 'Santresa
Harris and McKinney were hon-
ored as they prepared to play their
final games on the Hardee court.
After a 1-1 tie, Lake Placid's
Kelly Sweet picked up four service
points. Each time Hardee got a cou-
ple of points, the Lady Dragons,
forged ahead. Dana Kent and
Jackie Berard combined-to put
Lake Placid in front 10-5, but Lady
Cat Bethanv Lang brought Hardee
to an 11-11 tie and 12-11 lead.'
Game one was knotted again at
12-12 and- 13-13, before- Allison
Gilde served through to put the
Lady Dragons up 20-13. Again,
McKinneN and Micaela Hall helped
Hardee fight back to 21-18. Back
and forth, point for point, until it
was 24-22. A Lane serxe made it
24-23, but Lake Placid got the one
more point to win 25-23.
Game tv\o \%as more one-sided
and Lake Placid leapt out to a 15-6
advantage and went on to win 25-,
17.
Game three was a repeat as Lake
Placid'sGilde and Yesenia Molina
got a good start for their squad to
lead 7-1. Micaela Hall and Madison
Graham helped cut that to 9-7 and
Lang led to a 10-10 tie. Again. the
Lady Dragons got momentum and
played ahead for a 25-17 game and
match victory. "
Marissa Hall, libero-a defen-.
sive specialist-had a half dozen


good passes for the Lady Cats.
Solis had 10 serves, Mahoney 11,
D. K. Davis eight and Jahna Davis
four. D. K. Davis also added 18
good passes, five hits and four kills.
McKinney had 14 good hits and
four kills. Graham also had four
kills and a block. Micaela Hall had
eights hits and a kill.,
Hardee went to a huge tourna-
ment in Sarasota on Friday and
Saturday, where most matches went
three rather than five games.
The first games were against
Booker and were mostly defensive
battles. Booker won the first game
25-19 behind serving by Camia
Green and Tiffany. Kelly. Micaela
Hall led the Lady Cats with eight
service points, while Mahoney,
Graham, McKinney, Lang and D.
K. Davis split the rest.
In game two, Hardee fought even
harder in a 25-22 loss. P. T. Dygent
led Booker with eight points. For
Hardee, Santresa Harris also had
eight, with McKinney and Lang
each four, and Graham, D. K. Davis
and Mahoney two apiece.
The next opponent was North
Port, which had battled to lose in
four games to Manatee, the eventu-
al tournament winner. Hardee car-
ried North Port to three'games. The
Lady Cats lost game one 25-11 but
roared back in game two for a 28-
26 victory. McKinney had nine ser-
vice points, Harris eight, Graham
four, and Kember Townsend (up

from the JV), Lang and Mahoney
each two points. Game three was
another barn-burner, supposed to
go 'only to 15 points. Hardee
pushed the game to 16-14 before
losing. McKinney had.four service
points, Mahoney three and the rest
were evenly distributed in the close .
game.
Tarpon Springs was next on the
agenda. Hardee labored for a 25-22
win in game one. with McKinney
getting nine service points, Lang,
five, D. K. Davis and Harris each
three, and Mahoney and Graham
each two points.
With all that effort, Hardee suc-
cumbed to lose the next two games
25-7 and 15-10.
Sebring was next on tap. Playing
another district opponent ;Hardee
regained its battling spirit, and' took
the Lady Streaks to 25-21 and 25-
12 before losing both games. Again
Hardee service points were .evenly
distributed.
Hardee's final run, against
Sarasota Out-Of-Door Academy in
a best-of-fi.e match, was played
without McKinney, now sidelined
with a shoulder irijury. Jahna Davis
and Harris did well in filling in her
spot, said Coach Ken Leupold.
Hardee lost game one 25-19,
with Harris getting four service
points, and Jahna Davis. Townsend,
Solis, Lang and Mahoney three
apiece.
In game two, it was another 25-
19'loss, with Lang with four service
points, and Harris. Townsend,
Solis, Mahoney and D. K, Davis
splitting-the rest. i
Game three Went the distance,


The Lady Wildcats were in high spirits as they prepared for final 2005 home game; from left, are Gloria Solis, Bethany Lang, Marissa
Hall, Santresa Harris, Jahna Davis, Micaela Hall, Sarah Mahoney, Heather McKinney, D. K. Davis and Madison Graham.

with Out-Of-Door winning 30-28.
Lang, and the Davis cousins D. K.
and Jahna each had five service
points. Townsend added four and
Mahoney two.
"It' was all lots of good experi-
ence," said Leupol4. He challenged
his team to put that to good use in
the post-season tournament.


Hardee drew a bye on Monday
evening. The Lady Cats finished in
fifth place, ahead of Avon Park and
Braden River. Top-seeded. and
state-ranked DeSoto awaits initial
ganies. Palmetto and Sebring Were
tied, but on strength of record,
Palmetto was seeded second and
Sebring third. Booker is fourth.
'A Tuesday win over Booker
would put .Hardee in a semi-final
game 'against DeSoto on
Wednesday evening.
The Hardee junior varsity .fin-
ished its season last Tuesday
evening. They had lost on
Monday at Frostproof 25-23, 25-18


in a pair of close games.
In game one, Jerrica GCimsley
led Hardee with seven service
points, while both Juliann Davis-
and Megan White had four. Amber
Steedley and Kim Holt each had'
three and Laura Calvillo two. In
game two, it was Holt tops with
nine service points. Hannah
Marshall, White, Calvillo and
Steedley each had two 'and
Grimsley a solo service point.
At home Tuesday for the final,
match of the season, the JV battled
to a 25-21 loss in.game one, and
lost momentum for a 25-11 second
game defeat.


In game one, Marshall had five
service points, and Steedley and
White each four. Christie Davis had
three and Calvillo two. In game
two, Calvillo had seven points, and
Juliann Davis, Townsend, Krystin
Robertson and Steedley two apiece.
Coach Meredith Durastanti is
optimistic about next season.
"They've been getting better all
season. They get so close but can't
finish it off. In one game, they pass
well, in another they serve well.
They just need to get the whole
game together at the same time,"
she said.


Madison Graham prepares to return serve as Lake Placid defenders are ready for action.

October 20, 2001., The Heraid-A (l>,t:- 7C


Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo
Well Football Fans, it is rare when a great game between two highly
ranked teams lives up to the hype and hoopla created around it. Usually,
they are anti-climatic or simply not as good as advertised. This weekend,
"THE" game delivered all the excitement and drama a game of this magni-
tude was supposed to. A certain classic that will be talked about for years
to come.
The stage was set. Homecoming 2005 was here. The fall colors were
glistening. The Alumni were back on campus. The high flying Louisville
Cardinals were touted to win the confere-,e. They had the best quarterback
and offense that the Mountaineers wouid'- :ace all season. The first half was
all Louisville. West Virginia managed only 56 yards of offense and trailed
17-0 at the intermission.
The third quarter saw both teams score and the 24-7 Cardinal lead
o1oked safe with 7:56 left in the fourth quarter. Enter freshman QB Pat
White. West Virginia drives for a score to cut the lead to 24-14. An onside
kick gives the Mountaineers another shot at scoring. Freshman kicker Pat
McAfee adds a field goal. Now, it is 24-17. Louisville is held on three plays
and the Mountaineers get the ball back and drive for the tying score with
1:02 remaining.
Freshman back Steve Slaton will score six touchdowns in the game. In
overtime, both teams score and kick the conversion. The second overtime
results in the same. The third overtime rule says each team must go for a
two-point conversion.West Virginia scores and White finds his receiver in
(he back of the end zone for two points. Louisville scores on its possession.
QB Brian Brohm looks for a receiver on the Cardinals conversion attempt.
No one is open. He tucks the ball and makes a run for' the end zone. The
Mountaineer defense stops him at the one-yard line. West Virginia has done
the improbable, winning 46-44 as a capacity crowd roars and the goal posts
come down.
SByothe'way, as the West Virginia fans celebrated, word spread that
Southern-Cal had defeated some small private school in Indiana.
The weekend was not so festive in the Sunshine State. It's a rare col-
lege football weekend when all the state public universities lose. Florida
fell to LSU, USF was beaten by Pitt, UCF had its three-game win streak
stopped by Southern Miss and the Noles were upset by the Virginia
Cavaliers.The Gators have an open date this week while,FSU should get
back on track at Duke. UCF hosts Tulane in a winnable CUSA contest.
1USF, which also beat Louisville, will host West Virginia at Raymond James
Stadium.
There were a few other notable games in this memorable college foot-
ball weekend.Michigan pulled out a win over Penn State, as the Swami pre-
dicted. UCLA fought back to preserve its undefeated status at Oregon.
Bernard Morris ran a QB keeper 40 yards to give Marshall a 20-19
Homecoming victory over UAB. The Tampa Bay Bucs get a week off to
heal after raising their record to 5-1 with a convincing win over the Miami
Dolphins.
The SEC hopes .for a shot at the National Championship hinge on
Georgia and Alabama. The Dawgs have a date with Arkansas this week,
then the Gators on October 29th. The Crimson Tide will host Tennessee this
weekend.
Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare
1. West Virginia at USF --The, Bulls have to be embarrassed after los-
ing to Pitt. WVU could be emotionally drained after the Louisville win
This a trap game for Big East leader WVU. USF is very capable of the upset
if the Mountaineers are not fociised.The Mouhnaifieer ground 'game and
defense against the run should determine this game. WVU 34 USF 17.
2. Marshall at UTEP Mike Price's Miners are a solid choice to win
CUSA in 2005. Carson Palmer's brother is their QB.The Herd is very young
but improving. Two time zones away will 'be an obstacle also. UTEP 24
Marshall 17.
3. Arkansas at Georgia Dawgs have a shot at 12-0 and playing for a
National Title if USC or Texas bumps a toe. The Hogs are BBQ in Athens.
Georgia 33 Arkansas 13.
4. Georgia Tech at Miami How did this Jacket team beat Auburn?
Miami 44 GT 13. ,
.1 ,uilat ii inr ti The Caerdinl s sti-lhavea shot at 9-2 with
a trp t the Gator BoIl U'.tL 59 UC 17.
6. Syracuse at Pitt Are the Panthers coming on? Or is Syracuse just
worse? Pitt 35 Syracuse 10.


7. Kentucky at Ole Miss Two SEC have nots in 05. Mississippi 24
UK 20.
8. Texas Tech at Texas -- Red Raiders have given the Horns fits of late.
Can they score at will like they do against other teams? Don't count on it.
Texas 34 Texas Tech 21.
9. Vanderbilt at South Carolina The Middle Tennessee loss was dev-
astating to the Commodores.Spurrier needs every win he can get for bowl
placement. USC 31 Vandy 16.
10. FSU at Duke Let me getlthis straight. Duke is about the nations
worst team and has to play the Noles after they were upset.This could get
real ugly. FSU 60 Duke 7.
11. Tulane at UCF Green Wave has a lot of adversity in 2005.
Everyone wants to see them have some luck after Katrina but it is not in the
cards. UCF 41 Tulane 21.
12. Auburn at LSU Tigers may be at Death Valley but they have
issues. Auburn 34 LSU 19.
13. Penn State at Illinois -- JoPa takes out Michigan frustrations on
Ron Zook and company. PSU 38 Illini 17.
14. Tennessee at Alabama Tide will roll in this one. Bama 30 UT 17.
15. Southern Cal at Washington Trojans must not let down. USC 45
Washington .14.
.16. Pittsburgh at Cincinnati Bengals over a limping Steelers. Cincy
*27 Pittsburgh 13.
17. San Fran at Washington Skins rule. Washingion 24 SF 17.
18. Indianapolis at Houston This is the Colts year. Indy 37 Houston
17.
19. Green Bay at Minnesota Pack takes no mercy on the troubled
Vikes. GB 33 Minn. 13.
20. KC at Miami Saban is cut some slack with his year. KC 35
Miami 14.

One ought never to turn one's
back on a threatened danger
and try to run away from it. If
you do that, you will double the
danger. But if you meet it
promptly and without flinch-
ing, you will reduce the danger
by half.

COURTESY PHOTO
Brad Kimbro (left), a vice president at Peace River Electric
Cooperative in Wauchula, traveled to Bay St. Louis, Miss., on
Sept. 29 to hand a $20,000 donation check to Bob Occhi, gen-
eral manager of Coast Electric Power Association.

Gulf Victims Welcome

Aid From PRECo Staff


Peace River Electric Cooperative
employees recently adopted their
counterparts at Coast Electric
Power Association in Bay St. Louis,
Miss.
The Touchstone Energy sister
cooperative was heavily damaged
in Hurricane Katrina, with 100 per-
cent of its distribution system dis-
abled, 70 employees suffering a
total loss and each of 210 workers
somehow crippled by damages.
PRECo and a few local commu-
nity service organizations collected
over $20,000 in cash donations for
the employees of Coast EPA. Brad
Kimbro, PRECo vice president of
marketing and member services,
traveled to Coast EPA and hand
delivered the much-needed employ-
ee aid to Coast EPA General
Manager Bob Occhi.
Employees and their families were
very grateful to receive this human-
itarian aid as they begin to consider
how to reclaim their lives, Kimbro
reported.
Kimbro also toured the area
served by Coast EPA, and noted,
"The destruction and devastation, to
this area cannot be described by
mere words. What I saw was the
total loss of the entire way of life
these people knew. Countless
homes and businesses are just gone,
with nothing more than h concrete


foundation to suggi.'t thee was
ever anything these : .,t all."
He also spoke personally to many
Coast EPA employees who lost
;vciything they owned. Many
broke down and wept openly as
they recounted their losses.
In explaining whyv so many are
passionate about helping, Kimbro
said, "We care about ourL electric
cooperative family and will not let a
call for help in a time of c isis go
unnoticed. Out thoughts and
prayers will continue to be with
Coast EPA and all of the people
affected by this destructive force of
nature."
Peace River Electric has vowed
continued support of its newly
adopted friends across the Gulf,
pledging not to forget them in their
hour of need.
The worst of nature often brings
out the best in friends and neigh
bors, and PRECo employees are
dedicated to see these folks through
the worst of times into a new begin-
ning.

A man's country is not a certain
area of land, of mountains,
rivers, and woods, but it is a
principle; and patriotism is loy-
alty to that principle.
