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 See FATALITIES 2A Springs. and points south. Traffic intending to go north on U. S. 17 will continue straight into Wauchula. , Construction of the four-lane divided highway will be completed 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 back," she commented. The last thing will be a final friction coat which will smooth out the bumps on the northbound lanes at See U.S. 173A, already set a record for its rapid drop in pressure, is expected to take a sharp turn and cross Florida Saturday night or Sunday.

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 lines as it crosses probably the mid- dle of the state.

While there will be a parade Friday afternoon and .a football game against Haines City with the homecoming court announced, the dance Saturday night has been postponed because of the threat of yet ,another hurricane. Still, this year Homecoming at Hardee Senior High means the Wildcats have finally "come home." If there is one thing Hardee Senior High goes all out for, it is Homecoming festivities. This year, the Student Council has tried to make Homecoming extra special since it is truly the Wildcats' home coming.. Friday at 2:30 p.mn., the annual Homecoming, Parade will take place in downtown Wauchula. The parade will begin at the field behind the junior high school and turn east on Main Street. It will progress down Main Street and turn south on George Burris (old Fifth Avenue). The parade will then proceed one block and turn west on Orange Street. It will take Orange down to Florida. Avenue, turn north onto Florida and return to the junior high. All floats, cars, marching groups, etc. need to be at the field behind the junior high by 2 Friday ,afternoon. Hardee County schools will have early release tomorrow (Friday), for the Homecoming Parade. Each school will be released two hours earlier than regular dismissal time.

Kelly's Column By Jim % COLLISION INJURES CHILDREN .,,, : :' .... .. .; ..-.. .. . PHOTO BY RALPH HARRISON 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. DEBOY ESCAPE A Page One story in last week's edition on the seven- year prison term handed down to Hardee County Jail escapee Anthony Layne DeBoy also listed five suspects charged with aiding the escapes of a total of three jail escapees ear- lier this year. The State Attorney's Office, however, has since signed a non-prose- cution form on one of the per- sons mentioned. Sharon J. CrawfQrd, arrested in March, was released from the charge. inh September.

FATALITIES Continued From 1A it into the grassy shoulder on the 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. .-S.I, . Zolfo Springs Elementary School 3215 Schoolhouse Rd.. Zolfo Springs (863) 735-1221 Hardee Junior High School Media Center 400 S.

', 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.

FUNERAL HOME, 163 No. Brevard Ave. Arcadia 863-494-7646 Provided as a courtesy of Robarts Funeral Home 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. : iJ 91S N.-th Ave. 915 N.6th Ave. Pet Ca re 773-6783 Wauchula Center Center 10:200 Public Notice The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations will conduct an accreditation survey of Peace River Center on November 16, 17 and 28, 2005.

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.

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. -Edgar Watson Howe Lonestar Construction Corp.

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 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.

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." Mohn ngs 8 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.

The Cats upped this year's win streak to 7-0 in the 27-7 mauling of the Avon Park Red Devils in the Hardee Avon Park Passing completions, attempts and interceptions 3-7-2 10-21-1 Passing yards 41 160 Rushing attempts/yards 46/283 .21/33 Total yards 324 193 Turnovers 3 2 First Downs 13 9 Penalties/lost yardage 1/5 5/35 Scoring By Quarters: HARDEE 0 0 14 13- 27 Avon Park 0 7 0 0-- 7 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). Hardee has strong junior quarter- back Weston Palmer with fullback "Brad-illiac" Gilliard and a trio of tailbacks, Marc Hodges, Chris Rich and Jimmy Cimeus. The Wildcat defense can also be depended upon. often providing at least one score 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- Johnny Ray Harris (9) Is after Avon Park ball-handler I K. Hill (4). Jackson Mosley (5) scooped up a fumble for a 50-yard TD. 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- Hours of Operation: Monday-Thursday: 7:30 amto 5:30 pm Friday: 7:30 am to 5:00 pm 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. See CATS 38 S.th A H Diedre Cagle. MD Dumitru Dan Teodorescu.

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 I LOIA IVSOC ARKETmEPOT.

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 heaven and forgive their sins and heal the land. I Chronicles 7:14 (TLB) TUESDAY : -And whatever you do, in word or Seed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him ... whatever your task, work heartily, 'as serving the Lord and not men. Colossians 4:17,23 (RSV) WEDNESDAY Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later, I'll give it tomorrow" when you now have it with you.

Main St. Wauchula For more information call 735-0321 soc 10:20c 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." Award Winner Has Local Grandmothers Kelli Hall, a 2005 graduate of Bartow High School, recentlI earned AP Scholar recognition from the College Board for her excep- tional achievement on the college level Ad anced Placement Program exams.' She completed three or more AP ,exams with grades of 3 or higher. Kelli, who graduated fourth in her class, also was listed in, "Who's Who Among American High School Students" and was awarded the Walter L. Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Award of $1,500 by the International Chemical Workers Union. Kelli, who attends the University of Florida, is the daughter of Dave and Beverly Hall of Lakeland.

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! 10 COURTESY PHOTOS Members of the.

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.

Laura Galvan also set a new course record for the girls. Alumni Run Today 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. 10 HOURS A MONTH! That's all it takes to speak up for a child.

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: Mrs. R.C. Bennett, Mrs. Peggy Browning, Mrs. Fred Childers, Mrs. J.E. Dawson, Mrs. John Deer, Mrs. Phil Durrance, Mrs. W.O. Foskey, Mrs. Jessie Greene, Mrs. Bertha Gruhlke, Mrs. Linnie La Fon, Mrs. C.C. Langford, Mrs. Hubert Lanier, Mrs. Kay Leatherman, Mrs. Louise Osteen, MRs. E.O. Sawyers, Miss Leta Sawyers, Mrs. Myrtle Whidden, Mrs. Helen B. Williams, Mrs. Ivy B. Willis, Mrs. Neal Wood and Mrs. Ethel Yarley. The Hardee-DeSoto Union sing at Gardner Sunday was a huge suc- cess, over 500 people attended to enjoy a full day of class songs and special numbers, with dinner oui the grounds served by the ladies of the Baptist church. From "Not Headlined" by Buck Kelly: -The Wauchula police are decked out in snappy new uniforms, for cool weather. -Jerry Strickland, Don .Herndon and Bob Gambrell, all of Wauchula, were the outstanding stars at Tampa U's runaway victory over Stetson last Saturday night.

The American Legion, which began the annual event 39 years, ago, will turn over the sponsorship to the Hardee Cattlemen's Association, which has taken on the financial responsibility of con- structing a new fairgrounds at the Agri-Civic Center. Wayne Collier, president of the association, said the fair will not differ much from the past, except that the FFA and 4-H members will have more steers to sell than ever before.

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. Comments or questions? E-mail Chip Ballard at chipkyle746-@earth- link.net. paign stop to Wauchula.

SCHOOL NEWS DEADLINE IS THURSDAY AT 5 PM. Only 76,000 Miles ~~ ~~ i kp The Herald-Advocate IUSPS 5'8-7SO0 Thursday, October 20, 2005 Volleyball 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. . WNW- -W --' --%- -n, M-- PHOTOS BY RALPH HARRISON Hardee's senior trio was honored at home finale last week. Micaela Hall (13), Santresa Harris (5) and Heather McKinney (12) pose with their families. 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. I a-.

Email:. kochcongstrato.net 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.

But if you meet it promptly and without flinch- ing, you will reduce the danger by half. -Winston Churchill 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. -George William Curtis forall gu Ait g ne'g' M.
