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.

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., All. have place names.

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 See PPD 8A son it has always been kept geo- graphic." 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. See NEW SCHOOL 2A ; were at the college.shelter for those with special needs. Long-range effects could still be felt in the citrus industry as hurri- cane- and tropical-storm force winds may have spread the dreaded citrus canker, a bacterial disease. which is moved by wind-driven rain. Locally, schools, cities and the county had minimal damage. -Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones said Tuesday, "There is the usual assortment of roof leaks we get in heavy summer rains. Leakage on the roof on the repaired media center at Zolfo Springs Elementary will be taken care of by the contractor." Jones said there was damage at the girls softball and boys baseball fields.

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.

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. ,. Wemake. living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. -Winston Churchill The keenest sorrow is to rec- ognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.. -Sophocles 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 Continued From 1A "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 the two worst parts of building a COURTHOUSE REPORT A civil action listed in the Circuit Court section of last week's Courthouse Report gave an incorrect case title. It should have read: Linda R Tyler vs. James Peavy, petition for injunction for protection. The Herald-Advocate re- grets any misunderstandings this error may have caused.

"Laying 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. PHOTOS BY RALPH HARRISON 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 Elections Supervisor when he died following Hurricane Charlie. In top photo, HHS Principal Mike 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 carry with us-but by what we leave behind". Vreen Crawford spent countless hours marking the 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."

Freshman Class Sweetheart Hope Poucher is flanked by fellow candidates Kaitlin Justice (left) and Marissa Brown. Dustie Davis, daughter of Larry and Kim Davis, returned to end her 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 Louisjeune, daughter of Carlene Louisjeune of Wauchula. The other king candidates, also football players, were Justin English, son of Chris and Candace English; and Jackson Frenot, son of Deanna Morris of Wauchula and Jean Frenot of Fort Myers. The Junior Class sweetheart is Summer Hensley, daughter of Danny Hensley and Kim McGuckin. She was crowned by Junior Class president Ashley Islas. Other candidates were Courtney Norris, daughter of Ben and Robin Norris; and Mandy Cornelius, daughter of Jeff and Beverly Cornelius. Chosen Sophomore Class sweet- heart was Rebecca Aguilar, daugh- ter of Herminio Aguilar of Wauchula and the late Rebecca. 'Aguilar. .She was crowned by Sophomore Class president Jamilyn Hand. Other sophomore class candi- dates were Ciara Chandey, daughter of Donald and Adela Chancey of WILMA Continued From 1A the girls field, while there was water in the concession stand and press box at the baseball complex. "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. Wauchula; and Sierra Salas, daugh- 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 inside). Last year's Homecoming Queen Dustie Davis (right) was on hand to crown the 2005 queen Gloria Hernandez. 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.

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.

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.

A Safe Place 'DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRISIS LINE 1 (800) 500-1119 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 PPD Continued From 1A 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' including seven members who 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.

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. ( r f ol I Farm Bureau members from across the state gathered at the Walt Disney World Coronado Springs Resort for the Florida Farm Bureau Federation's 64th annual meeting Oct. 12-14.

The junior Cats spotted the Lake Placid Middle School Drago.n: a 16-0 first-half lead before bounding back in the second half for a 24-16 win. That victory set the young Wildcats up for this week's game at hoine against rival DeSoto. Results of Tuesday night's game were not available at press time. The DeSoto game was supposed to be the season finale, but there is a make-up game against Sebring next Tuesday at Sebring. "The boys played well the sec- nnd half of the game.

Trading possessions, Lake Placid on a blocked punt and Hardee on an interception by Conner Davis, the Cats were on their one-yard line. Quarterback Youyoute was tackled in the end zone for a safety, upping 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 Battles added two points. Hardee had cut the Lake Placid lead in half 16-8.

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.

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. e, J. Adam Shanks is minister of the Church of Christ in Wauchula. He can be e-mailed at wearewe@earthlink.net 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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Eat in or Take out 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! 10 HOURS A MONTH!

Military New m 4B The Herald-Advocate, October 27, 2005 CATS Continued From 1B 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. Chris Rich (14).sizes up the defense and makes his move, heading to the end zone late in the first quarter. Jimmy Cimneus follows blocks on way to the end zone.

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!

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.

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 Marissa Hall, the defensive special- A Safe Place DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRISIS LINE 1 (800) 500-1119 End The Abuse! 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.

"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 PHOTO RY RALPH HARRISON From left, seniors Micaela Hall, Heather McKinney and Santresa Harris pose with coach Ken Leupold one last time at final Lady Cat volleyball game.

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?

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 ensure that they are received before the expiration of the com- ment period. 10:,27c www.arcadiastockyard.com 10:20,27.11:3C -et Of ~ TheWeek COLOR: Black & Tan AGE: Adult SEX: Male (Nuetered) BREED: Cur Mix $20 Adoption Come checkout the newest Livestock Market in Florida.

Letter To The Editor Florida Legislators Want To Increase Term Limits 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? Need Help Getting Out Of An A6bsive Situation? DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE 1 (800) 500-1119 COURTESY PHOTO Vernon See in 1961, at age 38.

Q: What kind of toys did you play with when you were little? A: He said that the only toys they played, with were roller skates and balls. Q: What games did they play? A: They played baseball, football and basketball. His favorite was 'football. Q: I asked him if there were radio, televisions and movies when he was growing up? A: He said that there were radios and movies,.but there weren't televisions yet. He said that when he would go to the movies that it was only 10 cents to get in and five cents for popcorn and candy.

Q: How was Christmas different from today? A: He said that Christmas was very dif- ferent from today because it wasn't com- mercialized. It was a more religious holiday than it is today. Q: What types of transportation were there? A: There were few cars and some bikes, but mostly people walked. Q: Did they remember their first car? A: He said that he remembered his first 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 October 27, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 7C 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.
