County Escapes


Wilma's Fury


Goes


To Aid Of Others


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
A few limbs down, a couple of
closed roads, planned and
unplanned power outages.
Still recovering from a trio of
2004 devastating storms, Hardee
County fared much better under
2005 Hurricane Wilma.
According to public information
specialist Micah Hendrickson,
there were wind gusts up-to 47 mph
in Wauchula and up to 57 at Ona
Range Cattle Station. There were
up to three and one-half inches of
rain in the southernmost end of the
county at Gardner. Wind-driven
rain overflowed on U. S. 17 near
Moffitt on Monday morning.
Rocky Kitchens, deputy schools
superintendent in charge of facili-
ties, said 712 people stayed in five
shelters at county schools and 14

Hurricane Wilma did little damage in Hardee County. An oak tree split and fell across Louisiana Street. County crews moved it out
[of the way and will dispose of it later.




New School Needs A Name


By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
What's in a name?
Controversy.
Or at least that's what most
school districts experience when
they name a riew facility. And
Hardee County school officials sus-
pect they will not be the exception.
"Several people have contacted
me about naming the new school,"
School Board member Wendell
Cotton said as he broached the sub-
ject at the, last board meeting;
"Yes," Schools Superintendent
Dennis Jones responded. "I want to
,form a committee, but nobody will
volunteer to be on it."
That statement prompted laugh-
|ter, but no volunteers.
/ The school, currently under con-
istruction on 60 acres in Wauchula
lHills, will serve kindergarten
through eighth-grade students. It is
modeled after a prototype school in
Madison County, and it is set to
open in August of 2006.
Madison County chose Madison
Central School for its name
SHardee, too, prefers a geographic
Moniker.
"The only thing I will not name.it
iis Hardee K-8," Jones said, noting
that is how everyone refers to the
:school now.

Board member Joe Jones agreed,
noting no school in the'district has
ever been named after a person.,

Superintendent Jones concurred,,
"There has ne er been a tradition in

Pioneer Park Days:

Is It Time

For A

Change?

By JIM KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate
Should the annual week long
Pioneer Park Days be changed?
Hardee County Commission
Chairman Gordon Norris at the
recent County Commission plan-
ning meeting indicated an interest
in the county improving PPD.
Norris asked for suggestions and
ideas for making Pioneer Park
Days' have more attendance. The
event is held the first weekend of
March at Pioneer Park in Zolfo
Springs.
Jane Long,.PPD coordinator for
the county, said the flea market is in
the middle and has 491. vendors
who rent 20x20-foot spaces for
$100. She said exhibitors are on the
perimeter. Exhibitors have antique
engines and old farm equipment.
Vendors include food concessions.
Long said a suggestion to. have
Budweiser Clydesdale horses
would involve a five-year waiting
list and also alcoholic beverages.
She said Pioneer Park Days should
remain alcohol-free and continue in
a pioneer/family atmosphere.
Long indicated there will be a

Again, Joe Jones agreed.
"Joe, was that volunteering to be
on the committee?" the superinten-
dent asked, to everyone's amuse-
ment.
"I've already said, all I want to
sa about it," came the reply.
"I'm going to be out of town that
week," Cotton quickly added.
The subject died, with no.com-


mittee formed.
But afterward, the superinten-
dent appointed Deputy Super-
intendent Rocky Kitchens to just
such-a committee, and asked people
to contact Kitchens with any possi-
ble suggestions.
"My preference is to choose a
name more generic in nature, rather
than one specific to an individual,"
he said last week.

Hurricane Doesn't



Stop Homecoming


By LAUREN RAULERSON
For The Herald-Advocate
Despite the threat of Hurricane
Wilma, Hardee High School's 2005
Homecoming festivities -went on
Friday night at Wildcat Stadium.
The night began with special pre-
sentations and ended with a
Wildcat victory over Haines City.
At halftime the Homecoming roy-
alty was crowned.
The Homecoming theme this
year was "There's No Place Like
Home." The freshmen, sophomore,
junior and senior classes and
American Sign Language Club
each built a float for Friday after-
noon's parade. Though it rained, it
did not dampen the students' spir-
its.
The Junior Class won with a hot
air balloon, a "royal blue city,"
munchkins, a rainbow and the char-
acters from the Wizard of Oz on its
float. The Senior Class float placed
second.


Chosen as Homecoming queen
and king were Gloria Hernandez
and Jose Salvadore.
She is the daughter of Armando
and Lylia Hernandez of Zolfo
Springs. She was escorted by her
mother. She is a member of the
National Honor Society and is
involved in Chorus. She enjoys
shopping at the mall, listening to
music and spending time with fam-
ily and friends. After graduation,
she plans on attending college.
He is the son of Antonio Zuniga
and Maria Solis. He is a member of
the National Honor Society,
Spanish Club and state-ranked
Wildcat football team. He enjoys
playing soccer, weightlifting, play-
ing pool, watching television and
listening to music. He plans on
attending college, possibly becom-
ing a detective and working in the
criminal justice field.

Kelly's Column
By Jim


Hurricane Wilma spared Hardee County major damage on Monday as
it came ashore in the Naples area about 100 miles south of Hardee.
However, Hardee had wind gusts of up to 47 miles per hour in
Wauchula and 57 mph at the Ona cattle forage research center. Rainfall
amounted to several inches.
Two of the state's largest citrus producing counties Hendry and
Collier with 130,000 acres of citrus were hit fairly hard, with prelimi-
nary reports of a 15 percent fruit loss, reported Florida Citrus Mutual.
In the past year new finds of citrus canker in Florida have meant about
S70,000 acres of citrus have or will have to be removed, based on the 1,900-
foot radius from a canker find.
The state has about 750,000 of citrus, reported Mutual executive direc-
tor Andy LaVigne. Last year's hurricanes spread canker. Wilma's results are
unknown.

In 2001 Lakeland High School's football winning streak reached a
state recorded of 60 games, and it ended on a rainy night in Haines City, 2-
0,.if memory serves me correctly.
Last Friday night Hardee High defeated Haines City 27-10 to reach a
40-game regular season win streak. The Wildcats climbed to No. 3 in the'
Class 3-A state poll, trailing only Belle Glade Glades Central and 9f.7
Augustine. ....
The Wildcats host the tough DeSoto County Bulldogs this Friday at
Hardee Stadium for the district championship. Both teams will be in the
state playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Lakeland High Dreadnaughts, are the USA Today No.
1 team in the nation. Head coach Bill Castle has been Lakeland's head
coach about 30 years.
Hardee is hoping to advance past the first round in the playoffs. The
Wildcats are 2-4 in the playoffs under head coach Derren Bryan. Hardee
coaches and players would love to win a state tittle. Hardee football teams
have been state runner-ups three times.'
Regardless of the future, the 2005 Wildcats are a well-balanced and
well-coached football team. Fan support is high.

On Monday of last week Dr. Barbara Carlton learned canker had been
discovered in her 50-acre hamlin orange grove on Dansby Road west of
Wauchula. The 1,900-foot radius rule will mean several adjacent citrus
groves will have to be destroyed.
What was it like for Dr. Barbara to learn the news? "Like a death in the
family."
She believes five factors are today threatening the future of Florida's
citrus industry: canker, tristeza, a new disease in south Florida called .itrus -
greening, land development, and hurricanes.
A number of growers wonder if more research should be done to see if
the 1,900-radius can be reduced. The canker bacteria can be spread by
wind-driven rain or by vehicles, equipment and people with canker on
them. The bacteria cannot be seen and can be dormant for, awhile, espe-
cially if kept moist, before causing lesions which damage leaves, stems and.
fruit. Infected trees from a nursery can infect nearby trees.
The current radius involves about 230 acres.
It seems a shame to destroy healthy looking trees over a radius that
stretches for 6.33 football fields.

COURTESY PHOTO
The most recent aerial photo shows much progress on the new K-8 school under construction in Wauchula Hills. The large build-
ing in the upper left corner is the gymnasium. In front of it and still taking shape is the auditorium. To the right of the gym is the
completed cafeteria. It is at the top of a center strip of structures that include the band room, technology classrooms, the media
center and, still in the early stages, the administrative office. Classroom wings on the left side in the photo are for primary grades;
those on the right are for secondary students.


NEW SCHOOL

"If we were Orange County,
putting up six or seven schools a
year, we could accommodate all the
named (suggested) individuals,'but
this is our first school in 25 years,"
Jones pointed out.
"Certainly we welcome any sug-
gestions, and we do, but I would
remind everyone it has never been
a tradition in this county to name a
school after a person," he contin-
ued. "We have named parts of
schools after people, for example
the Joel Evers Gym at Hardee
Junior High School for one."
The superintendent stressed,
"Traditionally, it's been a geo-
graphic designation, certainly with
our elementary schools. And with
our secondary schools, it has been a
name that encompasses the county,
to show they serve the entire coun-
ty.; '
Is a controversy at hand?
"That and choosing colors are

block'is easy!"
In fact, the School Board's latest
progress report from Mike Imbler
of Peter Brown Construction shows
everything is on target for an
August 2006 opening day.
"We have permanent power and
lights in the primary areas," Imbler
told board members. "We're about
to in the cafeteria and the gym.
The key is air conditioning."


SPECIAL HONORS


.Imbler said,perimeter fencing is
going up and permits are in from
Sthe Department of Transportation
for deceleration lanes on U.S. 17.
"We're on or ahead of schedule
on everything," he said.
And, on Tuesday, he reported
Hurricane Wilma did not change
that.
"We did fantastic. No problems,"
Imbler said. "There were a couple
minor bent panels, a little water on


the inside of unfinished buildings.
It's all cleaned up already."
Imbler added that six ot seven
men were on site Monday during
the hurricane, doing mechanical
work inside the gymnasium. "We
never quit," he said. "We've got a
bunch of hard-working guys here!"
"We had no damaged equipment.
The site is all cleaned up. We're on
go!" Imbler concluded.

Two men who have worked behind the scenes to ensure a successful Homecoming were hon-
ored posthumously before last week's game. "Unfortunately, they are no longer with us and their
presence was truly missed during this year's events." Dean Cullins, a former teacher, assistant
principal, principal, athletic director and district administrator who was always to help, was

Wilkinson and student body president Christie Burrus present a plaque of appreciation to Brenda
Cullins and her daughter Shannon Robertson, which reads "We shape our lives not by what we

Homecoming parade field and assisting with the parade route to ensure safety for all. "He helped
bring smiles to all who enjoyed the parade. Wilkinson and Burrus present a plaque to Lynn
Crawford and her daughter Christian, which reads, "For some life lasts a short while, but the
memories it holds last forever." The Cullins and Crawford families were thanked for their sacri-
fices in "allowing these men to play such an important part of the many homecoming events."

Dustie Davis, daughter of Larry

reign and crown Hernandez as the
new queen. Usually the
Homecoming King is announced at
the Homecoming Dance. As
Hurricane Wilma postponed the
dance until Oct. 29, this year's
king was announced at Friday
night's game.
Chosen Lady-In-Waiting was
Santresa Harris, daughter of
Audrey Haynes and Johnny Ray
Harris. She was crowned by Senior
Class president Rebecca Durrance.
Other queen candidates were
Maricela DeSantiago, daughter of
Juan and Ana DeSantiago of Zolfo
Springs; Christina Esquivel, daugh-
ter of Chevy and Yolanda Esquivel
of Wauchula; and Vaillajon

water in the concession stand and

"We're addressing those, but
really the schools fared well, noting
major. In fact, we are sending
maintenance workers and genera-
tors to Hendry County tomorrow.
They helped us a lot when we had
troubles' and we're just returning
the favor," concluded Jones.
Col. Arnold Lanier of the Hardee
County Sheriff's Office said
Wednesday morningg, "We're on
standby and ready to deploy at any
Time. We've registered our avail-
ability with both the, Florida
Sheriff's Association and the
Emergency Operations Center."
Emergency Operations tracks num-
bers and any requests for aid.
The Wauchula Police
Department is also registered with
the EOC. "If we don't get a call,
I'm still going to go down myself,
to West Palm Beach, just as a cour-
tesy because of all they did for us."
He said he will take his personal
generator with him and head to the
police department there.
Officers from both departments
went to Mississippi last month to
help hurricane victims there.
Peace River Electric Cooperative
and Progress Energy are both send-
ing help to southern counties.
PRECo received help from Glades
County last season and is sending
10 employees and seven vehicles to
help restore power in the Moore
Haven area. The Glades Electric
Cooperative had buildings dam-
aged and the mechanic shop
destroyed. Other PRECo employ-
ees will be sent there as needed.
Wauchula's power outage
Monday morning was a planned
event. Ray McClellan, superinten-
dent of public works, explained
* Tuesday that "it was a precaution-
ary outage to prevent damage when
limbs and lines clap together and
cause flaring or sparking. Actually,
we did real well, just a few limbs
and branches strewn about," he
said.
On the county level, there was a
similar report. J. R. Prestridge,
director of public works, said four
roads were still closed on Tuesday
morning but they hoped to have
them open by late Tuesday or
Wednesday.
"There was wind damage. A tree
toppled on a power line on Parnell
and there was. one on the county
side of Louisiana Street. We moved
it out of the way and will get to it
later." That, and other debris
cleanup is on the to-do list for
county staff.


Prestridge said several county
roads were under water and signs
were placed there during.the storm.
Many dirt roads were saturated and
people driving through them tore
them up. "It will take one complete
grading around the county to
straighten them out. It will take a
while to get to them all."
Asked about flooding, Prestridge
said backup from Charlie Creek
overflowed onto Bronco Road at
Gardner, a frequent occurence after
heavy rains.
Staff writers Jim Kelly and Cynthia
Krahl contributed to this report.

ter of Eliseo and Teresa Salas of
Wauchula.
' Selected as Freshman Class
sweetheart was Hope Poucher,
daughter of Alane Solomon and
Dean Murphy of Ona. She was
crowned by Freshman Class presi-
dent Shelby Durrance.
Other freshman candidates were
Marissa Brown, daughter of Mary
Tucker of Bowling Green and the
late Freddie Pauldo Jr.; and Kaitlin
Justice, daughter of Rick and Pam
Justice of Wauchula.
Prior to the game, presentations
were made to the families of Dean
Cullins and Vreen Crawford, who
"gave of their time and expertise to
help with Homecoming activities
each year."
Elections Supervisor Cullins
conducted the election of the
sweetheart and queen candidates
each year and kept the winners in
strictest confidence. He had also
served the school as a teacher,
assistant principal, principal, athlet-
ic director and district administra-
tor. He died after Hurricane Charlie


while helping others. Because
Homecoming was not at Wildcat
Stadium last year, the honor was
delayed until this year.
His widow Brenda Cullins and
daughter Shannon Robertson
accepted his award Friday evening.
The plaque read, "We shape our
lives not by what we carry with us,
but by what we leave behind."
A former detective with the
Hardee County Sheriff's Office,
Crawford "spent countless hours
each year marking the parade field,
assisting with the parade route and
ensuring the safety of all students
involved. He also brought smiles to
those enjoying the parade." He lost
his battle with diabetes earlier this
year.
His widow Lynn Crawford and
daughter Christian accepted this
special recognition. His plaque
read," For some life lasts a short
while, but the memories it holds
last forever."
Student body president Christie
Burrus and Principal Mike
Wilkinson presented the awards in
pre-game ceremonies.


Chosen by the Hardee High School student body, 2005
Homecoming Queen is Gloria Hernandez, daughter of Armando
and Lylia Hernandez of Zolfo Springs. Jose Salvadore was cho-
sen as king. Despite threatening weather, Hardee High went
ahead with its Homecoming Parade and football game, a 27-0
shutout of Haines City. (see additional photos and stories

Last year's Homecoming Queen Dustie Davis (right) was on

No Place Like Home

Somewhere over the rainbow
there's a town
Where 3 storms & no stadium
still couldn't bring it down.

Somewhere over the rainbow
orange & blue
There's a team who believes
that dreams really do come true.

With 39 games won so far
we don't need to wish on a star;
why should we.

With Coach Bryan's expertise
we'll bring the hornets to their knees
just wait & see.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Wildcats roam
We have learned that there is no
place like home.

The BIG game is tomorrow (Friday) night. The state-record 85th clash
of the Hardee Wildcats and the DeSoto Bulldogs will begin at 7:30 p.m. On
the line is the Class 3A-District 12 championship as both teams are unbeat-,
en in district competition.
S Businesses are encouraged to dress their buildings in Wildcat Orange
and Blue to show community support. They will be judged by the Hardee
cheerleaders and the winner announced during the game.
The Wildcats looked good in their 27-0 win last week against District
10 runner-up Haines City but will have to get totally focused and play from
the opening kickoff to the final ticks of the clock to wrest a victory from the
determined Bulldogs, who are vastly improved and look to break Hardee's
six-game win streak in the longtime rivalry.

Last week was also Homecoming. Congratulations to Queen Gloria
Hernandez' and King Jose Salvadore-for their selection to-represent the
Class of 2006.
""' In pre-game ceremrdhies.:the families of'Dean Cullins and Vrebti"
Crawford accepted plaques 'honoring each man. for his work for Hardee,
Wildcat Homecoming over the many years they assisted. Both were con-
sistent contributors in many, ways.

The junior varsity Wildcats gear up for their final game of the season
tonight (Thursday) at Sebring. They had a bye last week and are looking to
close the season on a winning note. Tailback Jordan Grimsley has been stel-
lar in recent victories.

Hardee Junior High football got on the winning track at Lake Placid last
week and hosted DeSolo on Tuesday night. Next Tuesday is the season
finale, a make-up game at Sebring. Hopefully, the young Cats will close the
season on a winning note.

Hardee swimmers are making the news. Casey Brutus and Tyler
Robertson won events at the District 5 meet in Winter Haven last week. For
Brutus, ii was the 100 breastroke and for Robertson the 100 freestyle.
Walter "Boomer" Olliff (nay also go to the Region 2 meet in Orlando
this weekend as the winners and top times in the region in each event get to
go on. He. placed second iri both the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle.,
Robertson was second in the 100 backstroke..

The Lady Wildcat volleyball team showed its season-long improvement
with a District 10 quarterfinal victory over the Sarasota Booker Lady
Tornadoes, a team they had not beaten in three tries all season. The Hardee
girls also put in a determined effort in the semi-final match against state-
ranked DeSoto in its own gym.
Senior Heather McKinney was sidelined with an injury, but classmates
Micaela Hall and Santresa Harris did a stellar job, along with juniors D. K.
Davis, Madison Graham, Bethany Lang, Sarah Mahoney and Jahna Davis
and sophomore defensive specialist Marissa Hall. The girls worked togeth-
er for the five-set marathon win over Booker. It's exciting to think ahead to
next season's successes. ,. ,

Cross Country teams are in district competition this week. News will be
forthcoming shortly. Several local course records hase been set.

'Girls and boys soccer teams have been practicing and get their seasons
started next \week with games and tournaments. Girls basketball is not far
behind, preparing for a tip-off tournament at Sebring on Nov. 8 and 10.
Boys hoops will follow suit the following week.

Men's Community Softball League action continues on Mondays aind
Thursday at the Recreation Complex fields. The fellows have played on
despite inclement weather and the delays to their season while new dugouts

constitutions.
All of the states so far that have
had Marriage ,Protection
Amendments on their ballots have
been passed overwhelmingly by the
people of those states. Currently in
our state DOMA (Defense of
Marriage Act) is in place, but fur-
ther protection by amending our
state constitution is needed as
DOMA, designed to protect mar-
riage, is being legally challenged.
By the end of 2005 a half million
more signatures are needed to have
the Florida Protection Amendment
on the 2006 ballot and for the
process to move forward by the
Florida Family Policy Council that
is leading the way in this effort as
well as a citizen-led volunteer
effort that is underway to help enact
this amendment. Please visit
Florida4Marriage.org to see how
you can participate.
Marriage is beneficial to Florida.
The institution of marriage pro-
vides the foundation of all soci-
eties. Florida has a fundamental
interest in protecting and preserv-
ing traditional marriage. Our com-
munities flourish socially, econom-
ically and in many other ways due
to the stability and strength that
marriage provides to our society.
Some of the groups endorsing the
work of the -Florida.'Family Policy
Council are Focus on the Family,
Christian Coalition of Florida,
Center for Reclaiming America,
Liberty Counsel, American Family
Association, The Florida Baptist

Convention and the Florida
Catholic Conference. ":
Churches of all' denominations

THE RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN
There is art old saying: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure." It is as true today as ever..
SIllicit drug use among teens is on the decline, according to the National
Survey on Drug Use and Health released Sept. 8. It showed a nine percent
decrease in overall illicit drug use among youth 12-17 from 2002 to 2004.
According to the survey, a large number of teens reported hearing anti-drug
messages, and the messages are making a significant impact. i, *
Hopefully you have noticed the red ribbons tied to the light poles along
Main Street in Wauchula, and you may have wondered if some sort.of
Christmas decoration already was being placed. It is, in fact, part of the
effort of your local 'coalition to increase awareness of drug prevention
efforts.
S ince its beginning in 1986, the Red Ribbon Campaign has touched the
lives of more and more people each year. It all began with the brutal mur-.
det of Enrique Camerena, a drug enforcement agent assigned to a case in
Mexico. Camerena was shockingly close to uncovering the identities of key
members of a Mexican drug cartel. He Was kidnapped, brutally tortured/and"
killed just days before he was to identify kingpins of the illegal business in
Mexico.: .-,
Angered by his death and the destruction caused by alcohol and other
drug use in America, the young people of Camerena's hometown in
Calexico, Calif., began wearing red ribbons in honor of the fallenhero.
Prevention associations all over America soon began to wear red rib-
bons as a symbol of their commitment to fight the illegal use of drugs.:
Today, the red ribbon is the symbol for alcohol, tobacco and other drug pre-
vention across the United States.
Every October, millions of young people and adults, show iheir comic
mitment to a healthy drug-free lifestyle by wearing and displaying the red
ribbon. This nationwide campaign has become a major force for raising
public awareness and mobilizing communities to combat alcohol and other
drug use among our youth.
Parents, remember that the war.on drugs is far from over and your
involvement in your children's lives is still the best prevention tool avail-
able.

End The Abuse!


By JIM KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate
.The Hardee County Economic
Development Authority (Indepen-
dent Board) discussed last week
how to set up the application
process for giving grants of sever-
ance tax money for economic
development.
Applications for grants must be
analyzed and ranked.
Chairman Bill Lambert said the
Independent Board could receive
applications' in March and April
2006.
The applications would be
processed by the county manager's
office and sent to the County
Commission and the three local
city governments for ranking and
then to the Independent Board for a
decision.
The Independent Board is
expected to receive severance tax
funds in June 2006 and each year
thereafter. The amount will be
based on phosphate tonnage mined,
but first year funding could be
about $3 million, said county man-
ager Lex Albritton.
The goal is to award grants for
creation of new jobs in the county.
Lambert suggested giving 30
percent of the money to the
Industrial Development Authority
(IDA).
David Royal suggested a joint
workshop with the Independent
Board and the four ranking agen-
cies to make sure everyone under-
stands how the grant process will
work.
Bridget Merrill said a time of
education is needed, followed by

greater emphasis on entertainment
in 2006 since the Nickerson-Ullrich
pavilion has been rebuilt since the
2004 hurricanes and now has sound
and lights. She said there could be a
talent show and bluegrass bands.
Long said the food vendor spaces
are sold out. She said the Hardee
High Band and Future Farmers of
America food booths do very well.
She said $6,000 is budgeted for
entertainment.
Long said it rained last year for 1
1/2 days, which hurt attendance.
She said the Saturday morning
Pioneer Park Days parade last year
in Wauchula was poorly attended.
"Pioneer Park Days needs to
grow," said Chairman Norris.
Norris said the. county has
received a tree grant that will allow
about 500 trees to be planted at
Pioneer Park. The trees can include
live oak, red maple, bald cypress
and slash pine.
One Hardee County resident,
who wished to remain anonymous,
has made several suggestions for
Pioneer Park Days such as horse-
drawn wagon rides, Clydesdale
horses, clowns, Shriners, war veter-
ans, classic cars, Mr. and Mrs.
Pioneer Contest, a bluegrass festi-
val, country' bands or band contest,
Square dance contest, auction, over-
alls day, theatre group, health
screening, phosphate exhibits,
canoe race on Peace River, Peace
River exhibit, Florida Citrus
Mutual display and juice samples,
Solomon's Castle display, business
displays, steel buildings, styrofoam
block buildings, Taylor Rentals dis-
.play, artists of all types, plant nurs-
ery displays, special days, and con-
tacting area TV stations.
Ori another matter, commission-:
ers briefly discussed building
impact fees on new homes. Doug
Knight, hurricane recovery project
coordinator, said there is a state
task force on this subject that' will
present its findings in early 2006.
Commissioner Dale Johnson said-
the School Board should help pay if
a local study is made on impact
fees. The county Compreshensive
Plan may have to be changed.
Knight said possible impact fees,
could cover transportation, educa-
tion, water and wastewater, and
parks and recreation.
A third topic discussed at the
commission planning session was
the Economic Development
Council. Economic development
director 'Park Winter said Hardee
County is a great place for busi-
ness.
Johnson noted that Jim Brantley
said the Industrial Development
Authority and the Economic
Development council have separate
functions but should work together.
Marketing could be done in Florida
alone, said Johnson. He said


Hillsborough County has an EDC
person just for agriculture.
County attorney Ken Evers said
the local EDC has 13 members'

serve as the IDA board. Winter said
there has not been a quorum the
past two months but said a big topic
will draw a quorum. The current
budget is,$150,000.


solicitation of applications, evalua--
tion, ranking, grant approval and
contracts.
The next meeting will be held
November 15 at 8:30 a.m.
The board now has eight mem-
bers and a ninth member may be
selected from one of three sources:
Workforce Innovation, Florida
Chamber of Commerce or the
statewide Organization of Planning
Professionals.
Current members are Lambert,
Royal, Merrill, Bill Beattie, Paul
Samuels, Terry Atchley, Perry
Knight and Bobby Ray Smith. All
were present at the Oct. 18 meet-
ing.
The Sept. 20 meeting was attend-
ed by State Sen. J.D. Alexander and
-State Rep. Baxter Troutman. They
discussed the ninth member seat,
which originally was to be filled by
the Florida Department of
Community Affairs.
Chairman Lambert noted Zolfo
Springs did not have a. representa-
tive on the board. Smith has agreed
to look out for the interests of Zolfo
Springs. The two other cities and
the county have representation on


THE HIDDEN RISKS OF BEING UNDERINSURED
Most people understand that there are many types of insurance avail-
able to .help protect them and their loved ones against the cost of accidents,
illness, disability and death. But what many may not realize is that there are
numerous factors that can change your insurance needs and affect your
exposure to risk, including major life events such as a marriage or the arrival
of a new baby, and other events that may happen slowly over time, such as
the appreciation of your home's value.
When it comes to setting up insurance, be sure to do your research
regarding which companies to work with. Companies such as Moody's,
Standard & Poor's or A.M Best will rank and rate insurance companies and
give you information about their strengths.
For basic types of coverage decisions use these guidelines, but remem-
ber to review your insurance coverage each year to see if updates may be
necessary:
Homeowners Insurance Homeowner's insurance should allow you
to rebuild and refurnish your home after a catastrophe or other major losses
and insulate you from lawsuits (coverage for lawsuits are capped at the lia-
bility limit; "umbrella" coverage provides coverage above the homeowners
liability limit) if someone is injured on your property.
Coverage should be at least 80 percent of your home's replacement
value, minus the value of the land. Unless you increase coverage, most
homeowner's policies cover the contents of the house for 50 percent to 75
percent of the amount for which the house is insured.
Life Insurance Payable when you die, this can provide: a surviving
spouse, children or other dependents with the funds necessary to maintain
their standard of living, help repay debt and fund education tuition. The
amount you need varies depending on many factors, such as your income,
mortgage and long-term savings needs for education and retirement.
Importantly, you may need to adjust your insurance coverage based on
other less obvious factors as well. Let's say your home significantly increas-
es in value and you take oui an equity line of credit. You should also con-
sider your life and disability income insurance coverage and ensure they are
compatible with the increased liability risks you have undertaken.
Disability Income Insurance If you are unable to work for an
extended period, a long-term disability policy can replace a portion of your
lost income. You should consider a non-cancelable policy with benefits for
life, or at least until age 65, and as much salary coverage as you can afford.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, it is a good rule of thumb
for disability coverage to add up to 60 to 65 percent of your gross salary.
Generally, you should have total coverage equal to' two thiris of your cur-
rent pretax, income.
But what if you have significantly increased your monthly mortgage
payments after refinancing'your home in order to get a better long-term
rate? Again, this is perhaps a less obvious, yet important, time when you
might consider increasing your life and disability insurance to help yourself
or your loved ones cover your higher monthly payments.
Long Term Care With an aging population and uncertainty about
the future of Social Security, insurance coverage of nursing home or at-
home healthcare is becoming more widespread. Medicare pays very little
of the cost of long-term care in the United States. According to
www.Medicare.gov, Medicare will pay for the care, but only for patients
whose assets are almost completely depleted. Medigap insurance can help
pay medical expenses of the elderly not covered by Medicare, however not
custodial nursing home costs.
In fact, according to www.Medicare.gov, about half of all nursing
home residents pay for the care with personal savings. If you should need
these services and do not want to deplete your personal savings, long-term
care insurance is essential.
Parents, Think Ahead New or expecting parents must think not
only about their immediate needs such as health insurance, but also about
protecting their child's future with the parents' disability and life insurance.
A common goal is to replace the income you would generate until the child
has been educated and is out of the house.
Also, you'll want to balance the needs of your newborn, or your other
insurance needs, without sacrificing your other financial goals. While it
,might be tempting to scale back on the 401(k) contributions, you run the risk
of derailing your retirement plans to fund your insurance needs.
No matter if you have children or not, be sure your protection planning
and retirement planning is in sync and that your goals are rebalanced fre-
quently,based on your timeframe'and changing needs.
Seek Help If you are considering purchasing or updating your insur-
ance coverage, one goal should be to buy sufficient protection without over-
spending on coverage you don't need. Seek the help ofa qualified financial
advisor who can conduct a detailed insurance needs analysis based on your
individual circumstances.

Florida Farm Bureau Honors

Members At 64th Meeting


the Independent Board.
Alexander said outside represen-
tation helps bring new ideas and
provides a broader perspective. He
said the goal is to create jobs and
opportunities for the residents of
Hardee County.
Lambert said the board has some
concern over the definition of infra-
structure and economic develop-
ment and how they are interrelated.
Alexander said severance tax
funds are not meant to go into the
budgets of the county and cities for
infrastructure. If a sewer line was
needed to run to a new business,
that could be considered a wise
choice to fund, he said.
At the Oct. 18 meeting that the
IDA can negotiate with prospective
businesses in private outside the
Sunshine Law was discussed.
Merrill said it would not be wise
to grant severance tax for a build-
ing to be deeded to a private com-
pany, which could close in a year or
two. She said business failures
sometimes occur.
Creating new jobs could attract a
different amount of grant per job,
depending on the average wage and
benefits, said Merrill.

last week.
The junior Cats spotted the Lake

That victory set the young

of Tuesday night's game were not

The DeSoto game was supposed

Quarterback Youyoute was tackled

the Lake Placid lead to 10-0.
Hardee kicked off and Lake
Placid began a drive which took the
balance of the second stanza. With
just eight seconds left in the half,
Waugh passed to Williams for Lake
Placid's final score. The conversion
run was stopped. Lake Placid led
16-0.
After short runs, Youyoute
passed to Smith, who had a long
run for a first down at the Lake
Placid 29. A half dozen plays later,
Hardee got on the board. A pass to
Antjuan Jones set up the score by
White, who ran the final 13 yards.
A pass from Youyoute to Nicholas

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo

Well Football Fans, October is coming to an end. Many conference
races are shaping up to be photo finishes down to the wire.Can the two top
rated teams survive the final test in November to meet in the Rose Bowl?
Will Georgia or Alabama finish unbeaten and where will they fit in the final
picture if they do?
Hurricane Wilma forced the schedule change of two state schools when
Miami/ Georgia Tech and South Florida/West Virginia were rescheduled for
November and December respectively. The USF Bulls could have set up a
championship game for the Big East on Dec. 3rd if things play out just right
for them and West Virginia.
The Heisman race is heating up. The top three players are Reggie Bush
and Matt Leinart from Southern Cal while Texas Longhorn QB Vince
Young is a good one too.The one player who gets no respect is DeAngelo
Williams of Memphis. The nation's leading rusher, touchdown maker and
yards-per-carry leader is not even mentioned. This Memphis Tiger will fin-
ish his career as the all-time leading rusher in college football. Is this BCS
prejudice? If he played at FSU or Penn State would he have the ESPN crew
singing his praises? Probably so. At any rate, if they won't give him some
ink in this Heisman talk, this writer will. Unfortunately, this writer has no
vote for the Heisman either. If a vote was in the grasp, DeAngelo Williams
would get it.
Now let's look at this weeks Bill O' Fare:
1.Florida and Georgia-The Worlds Largest Cocktail Party will see a
well rested and hungry Gator team take advantage of a wounded Dawg QB
while stunning the unbeaten SEC rival. Florida 27 UGA 24.
2. Marshall at Tulane-Both teams need a win bad. Tulane has endured
playing all its games at strange stadiums. This game is in Mobile.Marshall
should rely on a strong ground game and the defense to pull out a victory
while keeping its bowl hopes alive. Marshall 27 Tulane 20.
3. Boston College at Virginia Tech-reality check for overrated
Eagles.This is not Army, Ball State or Wake Forest.This could get ugly on
Thursday night. Virginia Tech 44 BC 13
4. Texas at Oklahoma State-Is Texas really the second best team in
college football? Not sure the Longhorns are not the best. Texas 56 OSU 13
5. Southern Miss at North Carolina State-CUSA gets another quali-
ty win against an out of conference foe. Last week, Houston beat SEC foe
Missippi State. Southern Miss 38 N. C. State 17.
6. Oklahoma at Nebraska-Remember when this game drew national
attention? The mighty have fallen when these traditional powers are an
afterthought on this week's schedule. Nebraska 31 Oklahoma 28.
7: UCF at East Carolina-Golden Knights play well in the Citrus
Bowl but not on the road. Pirates are waiting to pillage them in Greenville.
East Carolina 31 UCF 24.
8. Maryland at Florida State-Terps are no match for the Noles. They
will be emotionally drained after failing to upset Virginia Tech last week.
FSU 40 Maryland 16.
9. South Carolina at Tennessee--Vols will have Spurrier throwing
visors early. UT 38 USC 17.
10. North Carolina at Miami-Canes defense shuts down Heels.
Miami 35 UNC 7.
11. Cincinnati at Syracuse-Orange squeak out a needed win.
Syracuse 24 UC 17.
12. Mississippi at Auburn-Five missed field goals? Tigers need Ole

Telling The Truth ..
By J. Adam Shanks
Preacher


IN NEED OF PRAYERS
I recently received the following:
"This is a prayer request for a man in need of prayer. Please take a
moment and pray for this man. He is in a situation that few people find
I themselves. He is criticized at every turn, and few people have thanked him
for the goodthings he has done.
"Few people know the extent of his situation. We need to pray that God
gives him the guidance he needs to do his job effectively. I have attached a
photo of this man. Look at it. Most of you will recognize him. Please pray
for him."
Following the above request is aphoto of George W. Bush.
S I think that we often forget the'trials and hardships of our leaders.
S Romans 13:1-5 says:
S "Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers,:
because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered
by God. For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority
puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get
punishment for themselves. Foi rulers are not a cause of fear to the good
work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and
f you will have praise; For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if
S you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is
God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer. So put
yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have
the knowledge of what is right."
We might not like war, slow response on disaster relief, or other "prob-
9 .lems" that are constantly in the news, but we are also to look at the good
things that he has done.
C He has the weight of a country on his shoulders. The decisions he
s makes can affect you, your children and your children's children. The mis-
h takes he makes are made with the best of intentions.
But the fact stands that even if he was an evil vindictive man trying to
g run our country into the ground (which I do not believe is the case), we are
. to submit to our president for no other reason than the fact that God placed-
him in his position of power for God's own purposes. God placed him there.
t God placed us where we are. And that is in submission to our leaders!
e Whether you agree with the policies and decisions that our country's
S administration has made, he is a leader that was appointed by God and we'
II are to submit to him and pray for him. I'm Telling the Truth.

score and took a knee to end the
game.
Neither team won the fifth quar-
ter either. The younger or less expe-
rienced players of both squads did
their best, starting at the 35-yard
line. Each had possession for four
minutes. Tylar Alden, Jarrius
Lindsey, D'Vonte Hooks and Caleb
Reas ran for Hardee. Against Lake
Placid, Leon Faulkner recorded a
sack and Dillion Rabon had a good
tackle.

Cats Collar Hornets; Go For District Title


Wildcats Whip Hornets 27-0.


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
It's for all the money!
After shutting down the Class
3A-District 10 runner-up Haines
City Hornets last week, the Hardee
Wildcats face the biggest challenge
of the season this week.
The Hardee Wildcat-DeSoto
Bulldog 85-game rivalry takes on
new meaning this year. Each team
wants the Class 3A-District 12 title.
Each has won earlier meetings
against district foes Avon Park and
Sebring. At stake in this game is the
district championship, AND the
right to host the post-season play-
offs.
"We had a good win over Haines
City. After a good week of practice,


we put together four quarters of
football against Haines City and
got 'another shutout. When they
intercepted the ball early, we didn't
let that stop us, refocused and
picked back up. Both Mark Hodges
and Jimmy Cimeus had a good
night. Jimmy hadn't scored all year
and got two touchdowns. The
offensive line did a great job," said
Wildcat head coach Derren Bryan.
Defensively, "it was a good team
effort. We have to do the same this
week, stay with our reads and not
follow the misdirection plays
DeSoto uses," said defensive coor-
dinator John Sharp.
He named sophomore, Terry
Redden as Defensive Player of the
Week, with six tackles, a pass


breakup and a pair of interceptions
which stopped Haines City, drives.
A bunch of other defenders also
had six tackles, including Andrew
Cisneros, Jose Salvadore,' Johnny
Ray. Harris, Briant Shumard, Chris
Cook and Ricky Wiggins. In on
sacks were Harris, Cisneros,
Shumard, Garrett Randall,Michael
Carpenter and Pierre Lazarre.
"We had a lot of players in on the
action. We were 7-5-9 (seven play-
ers within five yards of the ball 90
percent of the'time) and there were
a bunch of assists. We held them to
107 offensive yards after a good
week of practice, and need to do it
again," concluded Sharp.

Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats look for a
seventh consecutive victory while.
the DeSoto Bulldogs hope to break
that streak.
When the Wildcats host the
Bulldogs on Friday night at 7:30 in
Wildcat Stadium, both teams will
be looking for yet another prize, the
2005 Class 3A-District 12 champi-
onship. Both squads have beaten
both Avon Park and Sebring to
clinch a playoff spot, but both also
want to get the top spot and home
field advantage for the playoffs.
"We don't want to get caught up
in the rivalry. We must focus on the
district championship against a
good DeSoto football team. DeSoto
is 5-3 but its losses have come to
Palmetto, Port Charlotte and Baron
Collier, and all were lost in the final
quarter.
"We have to stay fundamentally
sound and focus on another com-
plete game, win the Special Teams
battle and cut out the turnovers. It's
real easy to get distracted. I think
the team with the fewest mistakes
may win this district title," said
Wildcat head coach Derren Bryan.
Sophomore quarterback Shay
Shine leads the Bulldogs. He can
go to junior receiver Sheldon
Shine, use backs Tavares Pressley
or Jamaal Blanden, or.run the ball
himself. Kicker Antonio Vargas is
on the money most of the time.
Hardee counters, with junior
quarterback Weston Parker, run-
ning backs, Marc Hodges, Brad
Gilliard or Jimmy Cimeus and
receivers Justin Woods, Jermain
King or Chris Rich. Kicker Pablo
Anselmo has been steady all sea-
son.
Linemen could make the differ-
ence, and Hardee's offensive and
defensive lines may be the key as
they have shown continual
improvement all season. ,
Haidee has had the heavier hand
in the last six meetings between
these squads, with 1998 being the
last time DeSoto prevailed in' the
age-old battle between two teams
who officially began the oldest
rivalry in the state in 1923.
Two games were played that first
official year. But the rivalry may
actually be, older than 85 games.
Before Hardee was established as a
county in 1921, Wauchula and
Arcadia teams met in 1909 and
1917.
Hardee leads the war between
these squads, which have a com-
bined record 'of 51-28-5. DeSoto
would like to reverse the recent
trend of Hardee wins, especially the
50-0 shutout of 2003. Hardee won
last year's hurricane-ravaged sea-
son closer 19-7.
At game's end, the Walter F.
"Buck" Carlton trophy will be
awarded to the winning school.
Symbol of the long-standing com-
petition between these schools, the
Carlton trophy was first presented

.in 1965 in honor of the DeSoto
manager and avid fan who had died
in 1964. It was retired in 1972 after
DeSoto had three consecutive wins,
a stipulation of the original presen-
ter.
The trophy was reactivated in
1982 by Bruce and Sue Carlton and
won by Hardee in 1982, 1983 and
1984. DeSoto and Hardee alternat-
ed in 1986. DeSoto ran off a string
of victories from 1987 through


Hardee wins: 51


1992.
Hardee then had a five-year
streak, only to have DeSoto win 20-
14 in 1998. Hardee has won every
year since then, and has won its last
40 regular-season games.
Will Hardee continue its unde-
feated 2005 season, its four-year
winning record, and. its .six-year
string of victories over the
Bulldogs? Come out and come
early for Friday's game and cheer
for the home team.

CONTRIBUTING CONTRACTOR


PHOTO BY JIM KELLY
Dan Dodrill (center), a Fort Myers building contractor, spoke to the Hardee Rotary Club on Oct.
12 about building at 12,000 square-foot elementary school in Rwanda, Africa, to serve 360 chil-
dren. His organization, Builders Without Borders, is affiliated with Youth For Christ International.
The new school will open next January. Dodrill considers this a mission work to help a needy part
of the world. His group has built three buildings in Rwanda and one in Haiti and plans to build a
high school in Rwanda next year. He uses prefabricated steel from Universal Steel of Wauchula.
LaDonna and Kristina Weis of Wauchula helped build the elementary school. Pictured with the
contractor are Zee Smith (left) and Carl Weis. The cost to send'a child to school for a year in
Rwanda is $250, said Dodrill. The Rotary Club meets every Wednesday at noon at the Panda
Restaurant.

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson

CAMERA-SHY?
Are you camera-shy? Too bad if you are, because it is estimated that in
a typical day in town, you'll be looked over by up to 300 cameras:
The U.S. Postal Service keeps watch at many of its 40,000 locations.
About 60 cities and counties have installed roadside cameras to snare speed-
ers ani: ed-light runners.
New Orleans plans to install a citywide security system with cameras
that can monitor an 8-block area around each one. They can read a license
tag up to 400 feet away.
City officials reject the idea that this is a "Big Brother" project. Instead,
they say this is a return to,the kind of security that once prevailed when cops
walked a beat.
Do you feel uneasy at all this observation? One supermarket explains
that its closed circuit TV system "enhances the safety and security of cus-
tomers." See? No reason to get uptight.
Of course, a lot of this surveillance nationally is because of the concern
about terrorism.
The Bible teaches that God constantly oversees His creation and takes
an active interest in how people treat each other. He doesn't need hi-tech
cameras. To His all-seeing eye, thoughts and motives are just as visible as
our outward actions.
While First Amendment defenders debate where the line is between pri-
vacy and security, let's remember our accountability to the One who sees
everything!

Carlton had a similar report. He
named Cimeus Offensive Player of
the Week. He "ran the ball real
hard. He had 15 carries for 117
yards and two touchdowns," said
Carlton. Hodges had 11 carries for
67 yards and one TD. Senior full-
back Brad Gilliard "blocked well
and had seven carries for 51 yards."
'Chris Rich added nine carries for
48 yards and a TD. Michael
Carpenter had one carry for three
yards, Jackson Frenot one for four
and Jayquan Gandy two for seven
yards.
Quarterback Weston Palmer
went three-for-six for 51 yards and
suffered one interception. Passes
went to Hodges for 36 yards, Rich
for seven yards and Jermain Harris
for eight yards.
Hardee had 288 yards rushing
and 51 passing for 339 total
yardage.
Justin Woods earned the Special
Teams Player of the Week nod for
punt and extra point coverage.
Receiver Yogi Lozano was named
Scout Team Player of the Week.
Coaches were-busy on Saturday
putting skulls, stars and footballs
on players' helmets for the team
win (football) and successes on
pancake blocks, yardage gained,


number of first downs, sacks and
tackles. "It was a good team effort
and there were a lot to go around,"
said Sharp as he and coach Steve
Rewis fixed the player rewards.
Three players of the Class of
1982 were on hand for Friday's
game. Ronnie Shumard, David
Galvan and Joe B. Himrod watched
the team of 2005 get another victo-
ry.
Haines City won the coin toss
and deferred. Hardee got first pos-
session with a good runback from
Lisnell Youyoute putting the Cats
in business at the 17-yard line.
Palmer's first pass was intercepted
to give Haines City good field pos-
session. The Hardee defense
stepped up. A loss of a yard, a sack
for seven more backward yards and
an incomplete pass put the Hornets
at fourth-and-18. They elected to
go for it, but Cisneros sacked quar-
terback Darrell Sermons before he
could get rid of the ball.
In that exchange, Hardee started
over at its 36-yard line. 'Hodges
began running off yardage, as the
Cats put together an 11-play drive
for its first score of the evening.
Hodges went the final 11 yards.
The Pablo Anselmo kick went just
wide right. It was a 6-0 lead.
Haines City made a little
progress before being forced to
punt. Hardee took over at its 35


with 17 seconds left in the first
quarter. The Cats' 10-play drive
stalled but the Will Krause punt put
the Hornets deep at their own 11-
yard line.
Again Haines City had some suc-
cess before stalling and punting to
SHardee. A 36-yard pass play to
Hodges got Hardee out of one diffi-
culty. Three plays later, Rich took
the pitch went across the goal line,
fumbled and recovered it for the
touchdown. With less than a minute
in the half, the Anselmo kick gave
Hardee a 13-0 advantage.
Haines City started the second
half on the 20-yard line after
Anselmo boomed the kickoff into
the end zone. The Hornets were
going along, well into Hardee terri-
tory when Redden picked off the
Sermons pass. Hardee took over.
Hardee ate up the rest of the third
quarter in a start-stop drive which
ended with a Cimeus carry over the
right side for a 16-yard TD run.
Anselmo notched the PAT for a 20-
0 Wildcat lead with 42 ticks left on
the clock.
A couple of Wildcat penalties
helped Haines City get up to its 38-
yard line as the third period ended.
A Hornet penalty and a sack forced
Haines City to punt shortly after the
final quarter started.
Again, Hardee kept the ball on
the ground and kept moving.


Thirteen plays and over seven min-
utes later, Cimeus went over the
right side to pay dirt. Anselmo's
kick made it 27-0.
Shortly, Haines City was forced
to pint and Hardee ran out the
clock.


"The coaches did a real good job
preparing the players for this game.
They encouraged focus for this
game and the players worked real
hard for four quarters of good foot-
ball. We have to not wait until the
second half to get going. We have


to cut out penalties. They will stall
a drive.
"We're facing a very aggressive
team, one that really wants a win.
We have to stay focused for four
quarters and play a solid game to
win this week," concluded Bryan.


Brad Gilliard (44) powers past opposition to get first down and more.


S.eioJarc. /odges (4),puts head down and pushes for more yardage.

A Daily Thought

THURSDAY
Don't gossip. Don't falsely
accuse your neighbor of some
crime.
Leviticus 19:16a (TLB)

,iiDAY
No, if your enemy is hungry,
feed him; if he is thirsty, give him
drink. For by so doing you will
heap burning coals upon his
head. Do not overcome evil by
evil, but overcome evil with
good.
Romans 12:20-21 (RSV)

SATURDAY
Guard your tongue from profan-
ity, and no more lying through
your teeth. Turn your back on
sin; do something good.
Embrace peace-don't let it get
away!
Psalm 34:13-14 (ME)

SUNDAY
(Jesus said), 'And when you
stand praying, if you have a
grievance against anyone, for-
give him, so that your Father in
heaven may forgive you the
wrongs you have done..
Mark 11: 25-26 (NEB)

MONDAY
Without wood, a fire will go out,
and without gossip, quarreling
will stop. Just as charcoal and
wood keep a fire going, a quar-
relsome person keeps an argu-
ment going. The words of a gos-
sip are like tasty bits of food:
people like to gobble them up.
Proverbs 26:20-22 (NCV)

TUESDAY
You must be merciful, as your
Father in heaven is merciful.
Don't judge other people and
you' will not be judged your-
selves. Don't condemn and you
will not be condemned. Make
allowances for others, and peo-
ple will make allowances for
you.
Luke 6:37 (PME)

WEDNESDAY
How then can we be saved? All
of us have become like one who
is unclean; and all our righteous
acts are like filthy rags.
Isaiah 64: 5b-6 (NIV)

Public Notice
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations will conduct an accreditation survey of Peace
River Center on November 16, 17 and 18, 2005.
The purpose of the survey will be to evaluate the organi-
zation's compliance with nationally established Joint
Commission standards. The survey results will be used to
determine whether, and the conditions under which, accredi-
tation should be awarded the organization.
Joint Commission standards deal with organizational
quality of care issues and the safety of the environment in
which care is provided. Anyone believing that he or she has
pertinent and valid information about such matters may
request a public information interview with the Joint
Commission's field representatives at the time of the survey.
Information presented at the interview will be carefully eval-
uated for relevance to the accreditation process.
Requests for a public information interview must be made

12B The Herald-Advocate, October 27, 2005


This week in history, as
researched and compiled by Bess
Allen Stallings from the archival
pages of The Florida Advocate,
the Hardee County Herald and
The Herald-Advocate of...

50 YEARS AGO
From "Not Headlined" by Buck
Kelly:
Despite having just completed a
$400,000 school building program,
Hardee County is even now faced
with a necessity for further expan-
sion of its school facilities, accord-
ing to Superintendent H.B.
Dominick.
At present, he says there is plen-
ty of classroom space for the lower
grades except at the Wauchula
Negro School, but crowding is
threatened in the junior high level
and the School Board is making
long-range plans to build either a
new junior high school or to add
Eight more classrooms at the senior
high school location.

Wauchula voters will go to the
polls Tuesday, Nov. 1, to elect a
mayor, a city clerk and tax collec-
tor, a councilman each from Wards
One and Three, two councilmenn
from Ward 2, a councilman-at-large
and two members-at-large of the
election board.
Those who qualified for the vari-
ous offices are':
Mayor, W.D. Carlton and Paul
Thomas.
For city clerk and tax collector,
Sam Southerland.
For councilman-at-large, Marvin
H. Stewart.
For councilman, Ward 1, L.H.
Jarnagin and Walter B. Olliff.
For councilman, Ward 2, Edgar
Davis and Wm. C. (Bill) Fralish (1
year).
For councilman, Ward 2, T.C.
Hornsby and R.G. (Gordon) Thorpe
(2 years).
For councilman, Ward 3,
Roswell (Roy) Grimsley and
Malcolm C. Smith.
For city election board at large,
Donna Mae Downing and Mrs.
M.C. Kayton.

The Wauchula Woman's Club
has entered a community achieve-
ment contest in cooperation with
other organizations of the county in
which the eyes of Hardee County
school children will be examined.


Elementary School Halloween
Carnival, which is to be held
Saturday, Oct. 29, have been com-
pleted.
The parade will assemble at the
Court House, where the judging of
costumes will take place. The chil-
dren will be given favors before the
parade starts and will proceed east
on Main street to Fifth Avenue,
north to Palmetto street, west to
Seventh Avenue, and north to the
elementary school.
Ya'll come out and give this
annual event your whole-hearted
support, and have a big time for
yourselves besides.

The Hardee County Health
department has distributed Salk
antipolio vaccine to the doctors of
this county. This is primarily for the
use of children from 1 month to 15
years of age and,. also, expectant
mothers.

One of the most delightful affairs
of the fall season was the Woman's
Club banquet given in the high
school cafeteria Tuesday evening.
This is the first occasion in the
history of the club when husbands
were honored, the Junior Woman's
Club and their husbands, also the
newly organized Little Woman's
group and their escorts.


25 YEARS AGO
The only local race in the gener-
al election Tuesday is between
incumbent Democrat Lorne Yetter
and Independent challenger David
Huss for the office of supervisor of
elections (Both are pictured on
Page One).
Although the race has been a real
sleeper, with 32-year-veteran Yetter
expected to keep his job another
four years, Huss has raised some
questions concerning the present
operation of the office.

There will be 'two Halloween
Carnivals tonight, one in Zolfo
Springs and one in Bowling Green.
North Wauchula Elementary will
not have a carnival this year.

candidates for the BG Elementary

WILMA HALTED SOME ACTIVITY END OF WEEK

Weather Summary Report
Dry conditions over the Panhandle and some southern Peninsula local-
ities during the week of October 17 through 23 let peanut, cotton and veg-
etable harvests accelerate rapidly. Elsewhere, sporadic rains left some areas
wet, others dry. Rainfall for the week ranged from none in several
Panhandle and Peninsula areas, to three and one-third inches in
Okahumpka. Temperatures averaged two to five degrees above normal in
the major cities. Daytime highs were'in the 80s with a few spots recording
at least one high in the 90s. Nighttime lows were in the 50s, 60s and 70s
with Marianna and Jay recording at least one low in the 40s.

Field Crops Report
Soils dried in many locations due to the lack of rain. Moisture supplies
in some Panhandle and northern Peninsula were rated mostly short, to ade-
quate with some pockets of very short supplies. Soil moisture supplies
throughout the central and southern Peninsula were rated short to adequate
with some spots of surplus supplies. Dry soils'hindered the digging of some
peanuts, especially in Washington County. Elsewhere, low humidity along
with minimal traces of precipitation allowed peanut harvesting to advance
at a steady pace. Cotton harvesting proceeded at a rapid pace in Washington
County. Hay baling was active.

Vegetable Report
Strawberry transplanting remained active in the Plant City area. In the
Quincy area, fall tomato harvest continued as harvesting gained momentum
in the central and southern Peninsula. Other vegetables available included
snap beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, peppers, squash and
watermelons. Most planting and harvesting over the Peninsula paused near
the end of the week to avoid damage from Hurricane Wilma.

Livestock Report
In the Panhandle, the planting of small grains for winter grazing con-
tinued. Planting of winter grazing needed moisture and cooler temperatures
to sprout and grow. The permanent pasture condition is declined, but plen-
ty df forage remained available. Rainfall was needed at most locations.
:Statewide, the cattle condition was rated fair to good.

Fruit Report
Citrus: Summer rather than fall weather conditions prevailed over the
citrus areas this past week as all eyes watched the development and pro-
jected track of Hurricane Wilma. Temperatures continued above normal
levels with most areas reporting at least some rainfall. Rain amounts var-
ied greatly from traces in northern areas to over three inches in east coast
and southern areas. Lakes and canals were at high levels and growers and
caretakers lowered lateral ditches and canals levels where possible in
preparation for more rain from Hurricane Wilma. At the end of the week,
the hurricane was projected to cross the State on Monday in the lower
southern areas of the citrus belt. Limited harvest continued mostly for fresh
shipments. Varieties picked included Navel and Ambersweet oranges,
Fallglo tangerines, and grapefruit.

Lady Cats Finish Season


four different girls with 10 or more
perfect passes and six girls won 10
or more points on their serve. That


shows that this year was a team
effort, not something based on the
contributions of one or two people.


We have a good nucleus coming
back next year," concluded
Leupold.


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Lady Wildcat volley-
ball team progressed all season.
The girls improved so much they
were able to upset Sarasota Booker
in last Tuesday's quarterfinal Class
4A District 10 playoffs, even
though they had not beaten Booker
in three previous meetings this
year.
"We had three wins last year.
This year, we had wins over
Bartow, Booker, Avon Park and
Braden River. We also got to the
second round of the district tourney
for the fifth time in five years," said
coach Ken Leupold.
"One of the referees at the
Booker Tournament (the previous
weekend) said she was very
impressed with the progress we.had
S made since she saw us last year.
The lady who ran the tourney there
said from what she had heard we
were the most improved team at the
tourney. The Webber AD said he
had seen a lot of improvement
since the previous year," continued
Leupold.
This bodes well for the Lady
Wildcats, who will lose only
Micaela Hall, Santresa Harris and
Heather McKinney to graduation.
Expected to return to anchor the
team are juniors D. K. Davis,
Madison Graham, Bethany Lang,
Sarah Mahoney, Jahna Davis;
Juliann Davis and Danielle Hines,
who was lost to most of this season
due to a knee injury requiring
surgery. Sophs expected back are

ist called libero, plus Gloria Solis
and Jerrica Grimsley, and freshmen
Kristen Robertson and Kember
Townsend, who moved up from the
JV squad when it ended its season.
Against Booker in last Tuesday's
match, Hardee had first serve and
used it well. Mahoney got the first
Service point. After a long volley,
SBooker finally got the next point.
On Booker's serve, Graham
played the net well for a.drop shot
to an open spot. The Lady
Tornadoes did not go easily. After
Hardee had a 6-3 lead, the Lady
Cats stayed just ahead. Booker nar-
rowed it to 14-13, but Hardee.
forged ahead again behind good
serving by Micaela Hall and D. K.
Davis to win Game one 25-16.
Game two was the opposite:
Booker setter D. T. Dygent got her
team off to a 4-0 start. Ronnique
Davenport upped it to 9-3, before
Harris got the hot hand and cut that
to 9-6. Merry Etaylo ran off four
Booker points and Katherine Loza
added seven more. By the time
Hardee got going, it was 21-9.
Booker won out-for the25-11 win.
Changing'sides again worked for
Hardee. In a Game 3 which saw 10
ties, the last at 24-24, Hardee
picked up one point on a Mahoney
block and another on her serve for
Sthe 26-24 win.
Sides changed, and so did
Momentum. Game 4 had four early
ties, before Albina Oboimava
changed a 5-5 tie into a 10-5 game.
Booker would not surrender its
advantage arid won that game 25-
19 despite five good serves by
Lang to narrow the gap.
The fifth, and deciding, game
goes only 'to 15 points. Tied 1-1,
Harris got a string of points, with
blocks -by Graham and Mahoney
helping the cause. Booker fought
back, with Tiffany' Kelly tying the
game at 9-9, only'to have Hardee
made it 10-10. There were ties at
11-11 and 12-12, before Mahoney

served out for the 15-12 set and
match victory for an elated Lady
Wildcat squad.
"It's hard to beat the same team
four times, so despite being without
our strong-side hitter (McKinney-
who was injured in the Booker
tournament), we were able to win
over Booker. Except for their scor-
ing streaks, we did well," said
Leupold.
Hardee returned for the late game
on Wednesday, challenging tourna-
ment host and state-ranked DeSoto,
which has lost only one game, ahd
no matches in district competition.
The Lady Bulldogs are under 19-
year coach Dave Brenner and sport
a 21-3 record. They also boast a trio
of tall girls who can sky for blocks
or kills and a trio of nearly
untouchable servers,
Hardee got the first point in game
one on a Mahoney ace. That's all
the Hardee glory as Lady Bulldog
senior Katie Bryan ran off a host of
points to make it 8-1. De'Creisha
Arrington continued to ram serves
past Hardee for a 2p-5 advantage.
Narina Neal 'upped that to 24-6, D.
K. Davis got a pair of pointsbefore'
the drop on the Cat side of the net
gave DeSoto the 25-8
win.
Brittany-Muse opened the second
game for DeSoto with seven ser-
vice points. Harris served for
Hardee, but 5'11" Arrington
snapped a kill Hardee was unable
to return. Bryan went on a tear,
putting DeSoto up 18-2,, and
DeSoto cruised to a 25-5 win.
In Game 3, Hardee determinedly
fought back, but it was against
overwhelming odds. Hardee had
some success as Brenner subbed
occasionally, rotating his tall
starters to keep the advantage for a
25-16 game and match victory.
DeSoto also beat Sebring in three
sets on Thursday night to claim the
district championship.
"The DeSoto coach said that was
the best game his big middle girl
had played with all of her blocks
and kills. But, then, when we tried
to stop her, they sent the ball out-
side and a hitter hitting without a
block. They arc ranked fourth in the
state and hdve a Very-talented and
very smart team. They just have
many more hours of playing time
and they capitalize on it. They are
also the best serving team we play
all year, being able to place the ball
with great curaccuracy., Oerall, it
was just playing a very good team
which led to our demise," said
Leupold.
"My girls improved a lot this
.year both physically and mentally.
For example, we had two girls with
seven kills against Booker, one
with six and one 'with five. We had

Autumn is pumpkin time. Seeds planted in the spring and matured in the
warm summer soil produce these vibrant orange orbs.
In contrast to the pumpkin seed, the tulip bulb is planted much later, in
the cool of autumn. It develops during the winter in soil that is cold and, at
times, frozen. Yet the tulip, too, emerges as a vibrantly colored creation.
There is another seed... the seed of faith...which may be planted at
different times, depending on the condition of the soul. Whether planted
early, in the springtime of youth, or later, in the autumn of life, one truth is
constant-God has promised love and mercy to all His children, regardless
of when they accept Him as their Father. "And everyone [who has followed
God]...will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit
eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and
many who are last will be first." (Matthew 19:29-30)
Visit your house of worship this week; plant your
seed of faith in the care of the Creator. He tends
pumpkins...and tulips. '

Worry gives a small thing a big
shadow.i


Dear Editor,
In 1992, the citizens of the great
state of Florida spoke, and over-
whelmingly so. They said, "Eight is
Enough!" In fact, the "Eight is
Enough" law limiting the
amount of terms the governor, leg-
islators and all statewide office
holders can serve passed by an
overwhelming 77% of the vote.
Okay, the citizens spoke; the leg-
islators grudgingly obeyed. Case
closed, right? Well apparently
not!
As you are probably aware, the
"Eight is Enough" law, (again,
passed by 77.% of the voters), lim-
its our state legislators to eight
years in office; four terms of two
years each in the House, and two
terms of four years each in the
Senate. The law received a majori-
ty of the vote in every single coun-
ty across the state.
But get this: While legislators
and lobbyists have never liked term
limits, recent polling shows that the
popularity of the law amongst vot-


ers has actually increased! In spite
of this, politicians and special inter-
ests in Tallahassee have chosen to
ignore its citizens and legislators
actually voted last session to weak-
en limits to let politicians stay in
office 50 percent longer.
In. response to that vote,, the
groundswell of grassroots support
that saw the birth of eight-year term
limits back in the early 1990s has
been reawakened in their defense.
As the struggle between the peo-
ple for honest government and the
desire of politicians for power
unfolds we will keep you updated.
We invite you to look at our web-
site, www.stopthepoliticians.com,.
or please phone 321-750-8859 for
more information or to schedule an
interview.
With best wishes,
Bob Burg
Chairman "Stop the Politicians"
Atlantis, FL
P.S. Do politicians really think
they can ignore the will of the vot-
ers?

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCURRENT NOTICE (07.02)

Notice to the Public of Finding of No Significant Impact on the
Environment
and Request for Release of Funds and Removal of
Environmental Conditions

TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS:
The City of Wauchula intends to undertake a Disaster Recovery
Initiative project to'be funded by a Florida Small Cities
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The project will
provide for the expansion of their wastewater treatment plant
from 1.0 million gallons per day (mgd) to 3.0 mgd. The project
area is defined in theEnvironmental Review Record (ERR) and is
.generally described as 155 Griffin Road.

An environmental review of the project has been conducted in
accordance with 24 CFR 58, and it has been determined that the
activities will have no significant impact, on the environment.
Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as
described.,in the National Environmental Policy Act, will not be
prepared. Specific reason for finding of no significant impact and
decision not to prepare an EIS is because an environmental
assessment was completed for the proposed CDBG-funded
activities, and giving consideration to applicable federal and state
'regulations as outlined in the U.S. Department's of Housing and
Urban Developments' Community' Development Block Grant
Statutory Checklist for Environmental Assessments, no signifi-
cant impacts were determined. No further environmental review
of the project will be conducted.

The ERR, which documents the environmental review of the proj-
ect, is on file at Wauchula City Hall, 126 South i7th Ave.,
Wauchula, FL 33873 and is available for public examination. All
interested parties are invited to submit written comments to the
attention of Mark Brewer, Angie Brewer & Associates, L.C., at
9104 58th Drive East, Bradenton, Florida 34202. Written com-
ments must be received on, or before 5:00 p.m. on November 11,
2005. All comments will be considered, and no administrative
action will be taken until comments are resolved.

The project described above will be funded with Florida Small,
Cities Community Development Block Grant funds from the State
of Florida and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban De-
velopment (HUD), under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act. The City of Wauchula is certifying to the State
and to HUD that it, and its chief elected official, in his or her offi-
cial capacity, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the federal
courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities related to
environmental reviews, decision making, and action; and that
these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the
certification is that upon approval, the City of Wauchula may
expend CDBG funds and the State and HUD will have satisfied
their responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act.

The City of Wauchula anticipates that its Certification and Re-
quest for Release of Funds ,and Removal of Environmental
Conditions will be submitted to the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) on or about November 18, 2005. DCA will then
:allow a 15-day comment period before taking any action on the
request.i Objections will only be accepted by DCA if they meet
one of the following conditions: (1) the certification was not exe-
cuted by David Royal, City of Wauchula Mayor, environmental
certifying officer or .another officer of the local government
approved by DCA; 'or (2) the ERR indicates omission of a
required decision, finding, or step applicableto the environmental
review process. Objections must be prepared and submitted in
accordance with 25 C.F.R. 58 within 15 days following DCA's
receipt of the Request for Release of Funds. If you have com-
ments or objections, submit them to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs, Small Cities CDBG Program, 2555 Shumard
Oak Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2100 immediately to

TEENS INTERVIEW ELDERS



KIDS HUNG OUT AT



SEE'S DRIVE-IN


By LORI CROUSE
Special To The Herald-Advocate
I interviewed Vernon See'for this report.
Vernon is 82 years old and he has always
lived in Florida. He was born in Zolfo
Springs. He has a wife and four children.
He was very excited when I asked him if
I could do an interview of his life. I found
out some pretty interesting things about the
Great Depression and some other fascinat-
ing things. I started the interview by asking
him about school when he was little, and
things like that. These are some of the ques-
tions that I asked him.
Q: What types of clothing were there
when you were little?
A: His answer was some times they wore
clothes made out of flour sacks.
Q: How were play, school and church
different from today?
A: He replied by telling me that they
played games that didn't involve any alco-
hol, money or drugs, unlike today. The
games that they did play were "steal the
bacon," "hide-n-seek" and "spin the bottle."
At school he said that the principal laid,
down the rules and everyone would follow
them. Also, there was emphasis put on
reading, writing and arithmetic.
In church, they used to eat lunch on the
grounds every Sunday and the service
would last three to four hours.: :
Q: What shoes did you have when you
were a kid?
A: He said that he didn't get shoes until
he was in the eighth grade because his fam-
ily couldn't afford to buy each kid a pair of
shoes.
Q: What was the school building like?
A: He said that the school building was
very clean and had verystrict rules.
Q: What were the teachers like?
A: They were very loving but they were
very strict, he replied.
Q: What sorts of misdeeds got kids
into trouble?
A: He said when their parents caught
their children lying, smoking and cheating.
Q:What sorts of 'tra-curricular
activities were there and did he partici-
pate in any of them?
A: He said that there were only a few
things that he did. He did spelling bees and
watermelon-eating contests and typing con-
tests.
Q: What was lunch like?
A: There was one of two things kids
could.do, and that was go home for lunch
or they could bring their lunch in a paper
bag to eat in the classroom because they
didn't have a school lunchroom yet.
Q: Was there a lot of homework?

but mostly people walked.

car fondly. He had a brand new Chevy.
This is only some of the questions that I
asked Vernon See. I really learned a lot

more, and I am glad I had the opportunity
to do this report. If I hadn't done this report
I wouldn't have known that when Vernon
was growing up, doctors made house calls
and didn't charge him anything for it.

(Lookin' Back

I also found out that I should appreciate
the things I have and not take them for
granted, because we don't have as nearly a
rough time today as the people that went
through the Great Depression. They had no
money and worked very hard for what they
did have, and tried to support their family
on what they had. Today it is very easy to
earn money just by helping people out or
babysitting.
