Woman Dies From

August Car Crash
By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Heraid-Advocate
AWauchula woman succumbed last week to injuries sustained 71 days
earlier in a car wreck here.
Norma Jean Whidden, 54, of 516 E. Orange St., died Thursday as a
.result of an Aug. 17 three-vehicle crash on U.S. 17 at Oak Street,
Wauchula Police Chief William Beattie said.
According to a report filed by city Ofc. Angie Hill, the crash occurred
at about 3 in the afternoon as Whidden headed eastbound on Oak Street.
When she entered into the intersection %\ ith U.S. 17, she was struck by a
north bound van.that had failed to stop for the red light there.
The v'an, driven by Secifie Saint Louis, 42, of 797 LaPlaya Dr.,
Wauchula, collided with'the right side of Whidden's car and pushed her
into a westbound truck driven by Homer Earl Gaskins, 23, also of
Wauchula.
Hill said both sides of Whidden's 1994 Toyota were crushed in the
crash, and the windshield was shattered. Whidden was unconscious
when the officer arrived, and was airlifted by, medical helicopter to
Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
Saint Louis was transported to Florida Hospital Wauchula for treat-
ment. None of the five children riding with her was injured, nor was
Gaskins. Hill said.
Hill cited Saint Louis with running a red light and violation of a learn-
er's license.
Whidden became the eighth traffic fatality on Hardee County road-
"a.s so far this year.

ZS Hires New Police Chief


By JIM KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate"
The Zolfo Springs Town Council
Thursday night voted 4-1 to hire
Davd Scheid as police chief. He
had been administrator of the
department since December 2004.
Scheid is a former officer with
the Charlotte County Sheriff's
office and currently lives in Hardee
County.
At a special called meeting at 6
p.m., Scheid received verbal sup-
port from.several council members
and fellow police officers.
The police chief is voted on by.
the Town Council but works under
the direction of the mayor, Marilyn
Aker.
Council member George Neel


cast the lone vote against the new
chief. Neel asked if Charlotte
County would rehire Scheid, who
at one time had been suspended
pending investigation of an allega-
tion against him.
"I talked to two Charlotte County
officers, and they had only good
things to say about him," said
Mayor Aker.
Angelo Favara, retired inspector
of operations and quality assurance
for the Charlotte Sheriff's Office,
said Scheid was suspended because
of politics. "I have the results of
three investigations on Mr. Schied.
The allegation was unreasonable
and unfounded. I was the district
commander. I suspended him.
There was a nine-month investiga-


tion. There was a severe allegation
that was unfounded. We brought in
the State Attorney's Office to do a
thorough investigation also. The
result was that the allegation was
unfounded," said Favara.
Favara said a Charlotte County
sheriff wound up being charged and
going to jail and that Scheid "was a
corporal. He did an outstanding
job. He was a good law enforce-
ment officer and got a new job with
the new sheriff in Charlotte County.
I think he would do a good job for
Zolfo Springs."
Town police officer Ricky Selph
said there were four background
checks on Scheid and all came back
OK, the allegation being unfound-
ed. "I feel like this is an unfriendly


work place and am thinking of
retaining an attorney," said Selph,
referring to the recent political cli-
mate in Zolfo Springs.
Council Chairman Roger Green
said at the start of the meeting peo-
ple could have five minutes to talk
for or against hiring Scheid, and to
be civil.
Raymond Zamora said the coun-
cil should think of the town
finances. Green said that was not
the topic under discussion.
Zolfo Springs police officer Ray
Mitchell said he has worked with
Scheid since February and that
Scheid "has accomplished much,
more than other chiefs. He is one of
the best people I have ever worked

STILL SMOKING


By LAUREN RAULERSON
For The Herald-Advocate
There will be plenty to see and
do along Main Street in Wauchula


this Saturday.
The annual Pumpkins in the Park
and monthly Farmers Market both
will be taking place, for double the
fun!
Pumpkins in the Park will be an
old-fashioned fall festival. It will
run from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at
Main Street Heritage Park on the
corer of Seventh Avenue and West
Main Street.
There will be hayrides, pumpkin-
patch photos, a soup tent, a dessert
auction and games for children.
The ongoing silent auction "Chairs
For Children" will come to a close
during Pumpkins in the Park, with
the winning bidders "taking their
seats," so to speak.
The hayrides will start on
Seventh Avenue next to the park,
and will travel through downtown
Wauchula. There will also be fall'
items for sale to boost the spirit of
the season.
SFamilies will be able to remem-
ber the fall fun they had for years to
come by taking pumpkin-patch
photos. SavanahPalmer will be the

A fire which engulfed a Wauchula home Tuesday afternoon was still smoldering Wednesday morning as a Hardee Fire-Rescue team
remained on the scene sorting layers of collapsed ceilings, attic and interior floors for stray embers. Hardee received much-need-
ed help from Avon Park, Fort Meade and Polk county trucks and crews during the blaze, while Highlands and Polk crews covered
three emergency medical calls. The eight firefighters initially responding were assisted by about two dozen others, rotating
because of the exhaustion of the heat, heavy clothing and air packs used. The fire at 604 S. Seventh Ave., was already well under
way when noticed by an ambulance crew on U. S. 17. "It had so much burn time and was heavily involved when we arrived. We
were pulling from three hydrants. City crews came and restored two that stopped on us. We used thousands and thousands of
gallons of water on the fire and defending nearby houses," said Fire Chief Mike Choate, whose main crews left the scene about
9 p.m.

County Rethinks Subdivision Stance


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
"It will take time to balance pri;
vate property rights and urban
sprawl at its worst."
Commissioner Minor Bryant
summed up the dilemma the
.Hardee County Commission faces
in making decisions about a spate
of minor subdivision plat requests
coming before it.
Bryant requested a workshop be
set up with the Planning and
Zoning Board and the Road and
Bridge Department to address the
issues of road capacity, schools,
water and sewer and other services
new homeowners might require.
The state Department of
Community Affairs is working on
some changes to be required in
county and municipal Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plans in order to
control growth. Comp Plans must
be updated periodically and amend-
ed to meet new state requirements.

photographer on hand for the keep-
sakes.
Also for children, games like
"pin the eye on the scarecrow" and
a pumpkin toss will be played to
add to the fall festival theme. There
will be a soup tent filled with local
homemade soups to keep the com-
fort for adults and kids alike, in
case of cold weather.
An auction will take place for
desserts. In addition to 'the soups
and desserts', kettle corn, hot dogs
and hamburgers will be available
for the public.
Also on Saturday, the monthly
Farmers Market will take place. It
is held the first Saturday of every
month at "The Lot," near the corer
of U.S. 17 South and West Main
Street in Wauchula. The time has
been changed to 8 a.m. until noon.
SThere, will be hot and spicy veg-
etables, cucumbers, fresh eggs,
plants, honey and many more coun-
try delights to purchase. To partici-
pate in December's Farmers
Market, call the Main Street office
at 767-0330.
Next, Main Street's Music in the
Park begins Friday, Nov. 18, and
will continue to take place the third
Friday of every month.

tional fun Main Street has to offer
this month. Head downtown!

with. The Zolfo Springs Police
Department is in the best shape it's
been."
,Police Officer Louis Williams
said Scheid "was a good worker, a
good cop, maybe rough around the
edges. He won't play ball if you are
not straight. He is a fair guy and
gives good leadership. Look at the
man and his ability. Look at his
background. It speaks for itself.
You might keep these young offi-
cers here. Put junk aside. He will'be
a good chief."
Council Member Roberta Meyer
Said Scheid is "organized. I feel
comfortable' and safe. We have a
,concerned police force. I recom-
mend him."
Council Member Maggie ,
Belcher said she has seen "a turn-
*around since Mr. Scheid has been
here. He and the officers are out
there working. I recommend him."
Council .Member. Minnie
' McKenzie said, "You can over-
come the past. If he made a mis-
take, it won't happen again. I rec-
;; ommerid him."


A minor subdivision plat is the
dividing of a parcel into the parent
parcel and four others, each less
than 20 acres. A person can divide
or sell larger acreage without zori-
ing and/or commission approval,
unless planning a group of homes
called a major subdivision plat,
which requires plans for interior
roads and other services.
The problem arises when the
minor subdivision policy is used to
circumvent the major subdivision
plat requirements. For instance, a
person can divide 100 acres into
five 20-acre parcels, then request
several minor subdivision plats,
five 5-acre parcels, or subdividing
even more into five I-acre lots,
which is allowed in Farm-
Residential zoning.
There are road frontage require-
ments on each smaller parcel. In the
tightest zoning, Residential-1, each
parcel must have 80 feet road
access and be at least 100 feet deep,
in effect at least an 8,000-square-
foot lot. In R-2 and R-3, the.
requirement is for 75-foot frontage
on a parcel at least 100 feet deep, a
minimum of 7,500 square feet.
F-R zoning requires 100 feet
frontage on a parcel 100 feet deep
which is a minimum of one acre.


Finally, in Agriculture-1, there has
to be 200-foot frontage and at least
a five-acre lot.
Other requirements, such as the
80 percent open space requirement
in A-1 zoning also apply.
Commissioners were shown a
large map showing the proliferation
of minor subdivision plats all over
the county, indicating the eventual
impact on roads, drainage and other.
services. The map does not yet
have actual houses on each plat
delineated.
Quite a few of the subdivision
plats previously approved have not
been developed yet, spurring
Commissioner Dale Johnson to
comment, "Once it's done, it's done
forever. Is there no drop-dead date
when the approval expires."
County attorney Ken Evers said
the county's Land Development
Regulations could be amended to
make a condition on time limits to
develop. High prices for land has
also encouraged people to sell land
for such plats, noted County
Manager Lex Albritton.
Three subdivision plats up for
consideration had some of these
problems. The Meadow Creek sub-
division of Moonlight Ranch lies
along Merle Langford Road south


of Steve Roberts Special, naturally
affecting traffic and'drainage along
Those roads. Bryant questioned it
* because of its Bradenton owner but
said, "I don't think we can refuse
it."
Mary Lee Albritton's subdivision
called Hart Street Acres off North
Ed Wells Road has "drainage 24
inches above the .outflow which
feeds into numerous wetlands.
When they're sated, there is no def-
inite tributary for relief. It's why we
need to look at drainage issues,"
said Albritton.
In similar situations, residents
have complained to the county
about water on their properties.
Southwest Florida Water Manage-
ment looks at drainage patterns
only, not road or property effects,
both of which can become substan-
dard from such difficulties.
In the third request, Xavier
Calderon, a Sarasota manager for
Heartland Properties LLC, request-
ed approval for two plants,
Heartland Estates Phases One agd
Two, on McDonald Road, whichis
off Old Bradenton Road. "It's a drt
road but is county maintained and
is dry," said Bryant.
The commission approved ea h
of the minor subdivision pat
requests.


Teen Expelled For Shoving

agreement to two counts of battery
on a law enforcement officer, also a
third-degree felony, and was sen-
tenced.
He was, therefore, unable to
appear for the expulsion hearing.
His legal guardian chose not attend
the session, Deputy Schools-
Superintendent Greg Dick said.
"It was sort of a moot point,
because the criminal case was
resolved before ours," he
explained.
Dick said Robinson was a disci-
pline problem in his classroom the

obscenity. He refused to go with
Cook, and headed toward the

Cook contacted Dean of Studen s
Todd Durden. Durdehnand Cook
attempted to block Robinson's path
into the cafeteria. Robinson reac -
ed by shoving Cook, shoving and
taking a swing at Durden, and then

His expulsion became the second

ANTICIPATING THE HOLIDAYS!
It must be Christmas time! I've seen holly, heard carols and seen fi
tive decorations in many stores. I've heard people talking about gift-givi
and holiday plans. There seems to be holiday spirit in the air.
But wait! Halloween was just this week! Thanksgiving Day is still se
eral weeks away,.It is just now November! How could it be Christmas til
when it isn't even the right month!!?
It is amazing how much people look forward to the holidays. I can't s
that I blame them. I look forward to most all of the holidays. Not only ii
a chance to slow down and enjoy the people around you; it is a chance
enjoy the reason for the season, whether that reason is thanksgiving or gi
giving!
We all get anxious for those special times of the year, so much so ti
we prepare months in advance; even if that means that we are already secr
ly wishing for twinkle lights on the outside of houses and the smell of ci
namon in our homes!
Worship is a holiday. Our country has separated two times a year whd
we celebrate the birth and the death of Jesus Christ. But that is what we
ship is every week. In the Lord's Supper, taken on the first day of the we
(Acts 20:7), we remember the Lord through the special emblems of unlea
ened bread and the fruit of the vine (I Corinthians 11:23-28). This is a ccl
bration of His birth "and death, His sacrifice and resiiectidon. This is 6
Christian holiday!
So why do some of those who follow Christ fail to look forward:
these times of spiritual holiday? Why do those who seek God fail to see Hi
in the Sunday morning worships across our land the way they see Him i
those two days that society had decided we can celebrate Him? Why do "'
not prepare for the worship of God the same way we prepare for Christmn
and Easter?
Jesus is too special to only remember twice a year. Jesus is too great
only remember once a quarter or every so often.
Jesus is so out of the ordinary, we should never tire of thinking abol
His sacrifice and love. Jesus is so awesome that we should think of Hii
minute by minute, day by day, week by week! Don't wait for a holiday li
ed on the, calendar. Celebrate your Lord today! Celebrate your Lord.ti
Sunday the way He told us to, through the Lord's Supper.
Give Godaind Jesus and the Holy Spirit the same attention that you gi
your holiday. You don't' have to wait for one day a year to give God t
glory and love that He is due. I'm Telling the Truth!,

Tow Charges May


I, y JOAN SEAMAN
'Of The Herald-Advocate
SThe cost of having your car
i towed after an accident or incident
i' ay soon increase.
A request to amend Ordinance
"99-03, which sets rates for non-
dtonsensual towing sparked quite a
Ibit of discussion at a recent meeting
of the Hardee County Commission.
-County Manager Lex Albritton
'brought it up as part of his portion
,, bf the agenda.
Non-consensual towing is when
an abandoned vehicle needs to be
towed from highway right of way
Lbr the scene of an accident where
t'the owner has been taken to the
'hospital and is unable to authorize
its removal.
o: Cliff's Wrecker Service, Mr. E's
"Wrecker Service and Driskell
Service Center are called to such
situations on a rotating basis. Citing
increased fuel and insurance costs,
'they asked for an increase from
'$100 to $125.from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ind $125 to $135 from 5 p.m. to 8
'a.m. A fuel surcharge adjustment of
1$10 is also requested.
There is sometimes a $50 charge
if the tow truck driver needs to
flareak into the car to be able to tow
it, which happens with a certain
type of driveshaft.
The basic charges .are for vehi-
cles under 8,000 pounds. Class B
(8,000 to 20,000 pounds) and Class
C (over 20,000 pounds) charges are

row (Friday) and on Nov. 9 anyone

can be no ticket or towing. State
statutes do prohibit parking on roat.
right of way, which allows those
vehicles to be towed. "It boils
down to an issue of notice and fair-
ness," said Evers, referring to a
recent incident at the Zolfo Springs
Post Office, which is not posted.
Commissioner Minor Bryant
said people asked around the adja-
cent store and lobby but no one
claimed the vehicle, so they had it
towed. "There are signs on No
Loitering and Don't Sit On the
Planter but no 15-minute parking
limit or other posting. It wasn't
right," he said.
Commissioners asked Albritton
and Evers to research the requested
change and bring.it back at a later
date.
On another matter, commission-
ers voted to allow a 2006-07 state
Department of Transportation
(DOT) grant of $300,000 to be used
in Bowling Green for landscaping
along 'U.S. 17, included antique
street lights. Hopefully, some can
also be used for sidewalks where
children walk to school.
The commission also discussed
sidewalks in Wauchula Hills for
students going-to the new K-8
school under construction. Since
the county is planning sewer and
water line installation in Wauchula
Hills, it would not be feasible to put
in sidewalks and tear them up, said
Albritton.
Rocky Kitchens, deputy superin-
tendent of schools in charge of
facilities, asked the commission to
plan for DOT traffic enhancement
monies for the school in the follow-
ing fiscal year. Susan King, DOT
liaison, said there would be
$600,000 available in the 2008-09.
year and a new program called Safe
SPaths to Schools might bring addi-
tional monies sooner.
A request for a sidewalk through
the woods for students living in the
apartment units off SR 62 was also
discussed. Though it might have to
get wetlands approvals, it would be
preferable to putting a sidewalk
along SR 62 and down SR 17 to the
school, said Bryant.
In other action, the commission:
-heard an update on Hurricane
Wilma and approved Resolution
06-11 declaring a local state of
emergency in case needed during
or after the hurricane passes here.


Increase


Storm debris contractors are ready
to begin work if there is any signif-
icant storm damage, said Albritton.
-approved, after public input
With no objections; a request to
vacate and close the dirt portion of
Elmer Road. All property owners in
the area approved. The road signs
are to be taken, down and given to
Velma Deeters, a native of that
College Hill area.
. -approved a request by Clerk of
Courts B. Hugh Bradley and,
accounting assistant Beverly
Gooding to consolidate grant bud-
gets into a single fund. It was an
action recommended by auditors,
explained Bradley.
Community development and
grants coordinator Janet Gilliard
said it would meet all grant require-
ments and "be simpler for my,
office, too."
--reviewed a draft resolution to
present to state Rep. Baxter
Troutman and Sen. J. D. Alexander
when they visit for an annual leg-
islative visit on Nov.11. The com-
mission will review the final draft
at its Nov. 10 meeting.
The county intends to collaborate
with Bowling Green, Wauchula and
Zolfo Springs in seeking state
funds for potable water and waste-
water services to become continu-
ous from the north to south of the
county.
-learned that the taxable value
of property came in 1.2588 percent
lower than anticipated, in effect
lowering the millage rate to the
roll-back rate of 8.6286 mills rather
than the 8.7064 per, $1,000 of
assessed value the commission had
planned for its 2005-06 budget. I
S"Since all public hearings are
over and we can't raise the millage
rate, we will lower the contingency
monies in General County revenue
and Fine and Forfeiture (court, jail
and courthouse expenses), said
Albritton.
-approved extending the lease-
for Resthaven for another five
years. The county owns the build-
ing and grounds of the former
Lemon Grove Grade School and
leases it to the Resthaven Board
which manages the adult congre-
gate living facility which reopened
recently after being closed for
months while hurricane damages
were repaired.

JV Cats


Cream

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
"It's a fantastic way to end the
season."
Hardee junior varsity football
Head'Coach Rod Smith was ecstat-
ic after last week's season finale
win at Sebring.
"I've been coaching for 15 years
and got pretty choked up in think-
ing about this group and their
effort. Their parents are to be com-
mended for them. They are nice
kids and I wondered if they 'd be
physical enough," said Smith.
Hardee excelled both offensively
and defensively. Quarterback
Adam Cartwright was three-for-.
three in passing. Tailback Jordan
Grimsley carried the ball 15 times,
I:plus a 47-yard touchdown recep-
tion and run on the first Wildcat
series. Mark St. Fort had four inter-
ceptions, with Marwin Simmons
and Demetrice Coney each getting
one. Tim Selph had a fumble recov-
ery.
And, that's just the highlights as
the Cats took the game to the junior
Blue Streaks all night long in the
33-8 victory.
"It was a tremendous effort
offensively and defensively. Our
offense has clicked since the
Osceola game and the defense real-
ly clicked tonight," said Smith.
Sebring had the ball first but was
three and out. Hardee took the punt
and didn't stop until Grimsley had
scored on his pass reception.
Cartwright scored on a, 24-yard
run early in the second quarter and
another tally came before halftime
to give Hardee an 18-0 advantage.
In the second half, Simmons
scored on a 36-yard run on the
reverse and Gerardo Villegas took a
pass for a 30-yard TD run. David
Newcombe, Postene Louisjeune
and Tyler Harvard all had good car-
ries and Dan Timmons and Jason
Jester good catches. Tyler Bumby
had one conversion kick and
Grimsley had a pair of conversion
carries.
In on tackles were Jorge Lopez,
Cody Rawls, St. Fort, Damien
Richard, Frank Gross, Selph, Trey


Sebring

Small, Joe Barton, Tony Martinez,
Newcombe, Juan Salazar and Pete
Solis.
When, it was 33-0, Smith cleared
the bench and got all the reserves in
the game.
The Cats lost a pair of opening
games before going on a five-game
win streak to close out the season.
The Aug. 25 game at Port Charlotte
was cancelled by inclement weath-
er. Hardee lost at home to Avon
Park and on the road to DeSoto.
Moving Grimsley to tailback and
Cartwright to starting quarterback
worked wonders. Wins over Lake
Placid, Kissimmee Osceola,
Frostproof, St. Petersburg Catholic
and Sebring followed.
Playing for the young Cats this
season were Devin Lampley,
Michael Dixon, Joe Johnston,
Logan Thomas, Dalton Davis,
Chris Rivas. Eddie Hunt, Ray
DeAnda, Aaron Zambrano, George
Mendoza, Chris Anderson, Carlos
Ramirez, Jose Garcia, Adrian
Barringer, Brian Sisson, Alex
Lanier, John Vandiver, Tyrone
Pace, Josh Rodgers, Kevin
Cochran, Nick Brown, Eric
Trevino, Ronnie Bandy, Ladarius
Pace, St. Fort, Small, Simmons,
Louisjeune, Grimsley, Cartwright,
Harvard, Martinez, Richard, Coney
Salazar, Newcombe, Jester,
Villegas, Bumby, Barton, Rawls,
Lopez, Gross, Solis, Timmoris and
Selph.
Joining Smith in coaching the
junior Cats are Barry White, Todd
Bolin and Dan Duke. Managers
were Rodney Spinks, Mason
Waters and Jacob Bolin.
The JV cheerleaders encouraging
them are co-captains Ashlee
Neuhauser and. Leanna Himrod,
Christina Skitka, Bailey Knight,
McKenna Crawford, Danielle
Revell, Ashleigh Alden, Chelsea
Harris, Bailee Williams, Jamilynn
Hand, Natalie Green and Amber
Douglas.

I phoned my dad to tell him I
had stopped smoking. He called

Bank, has raised over $830,000
toward the $17 million goal.
This service center will, be a
satellite office for the American
Red Cross in Manatee County cur-
rently housed at 2905 59th Street
West in Bradenton. Manatee
County has been identified as one
of the fastest growing counties in
Florida with the majority of growth
happening east of 1-75. Cabinet
member Tom Danahy, vice presi-
dent of development for Schroeder
Manatee Ranch, commented, "It
will be very beneficial for the Red
Cross to have a facility so well
located in the geographic center of
the county with easy access to State
Roads 70 and 64 and 1-75."
Pat Neal, president of Neal
Communities and Red Cross
Cabinet member, said, "After such
devastating disasters as Hurricanes
Katrina, Rita and Wilma, we see the
extreme importance of the
American Red Cross. A new facili-
ty for our local chapter located in
this rapidly growing community
will allow for a broad range of pro-
grams, and emergency response to
be available to a greater number of
people."
By building the East County
Service Center, Red Cross pro-
grams and services in the communi-
ty will be expanded and improved.
The Manatee County Chapter is
the primary provider of disaster
relief services in Manatee and
Hardee Cotunties. Each year, these
communities are prime targets for
hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding.
According to the Manatee County
Chamber-of, Commerce, at least
143,624 persons are identified as
being at risk in Manatee County
alone.
In 2004, the Manatee County
Chapter Red Cross is there provid-
ing food, shelter, financial assis-
tance, and mental health counsel-
ing.
This facility will provide an addi-
tional staging area for manpower,
supplies and vehicles ensuring a
more timely and effective response

haven for retirees, 27 percent of the
population of Manatee County is
under the age of 25, and many of
these residents live in the eastern
suburbs. The American Red Cross

leadership development training
and meaningful service opportuni-
ties to teens 13-18.

Gutierrez Heads To Regionals


DOLLAR DAY


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Junior Jose Gutierrez will repre-
sent Hardee High at the regional
cross country meet.
"The first-year runner was the
only one to get in touch following
Hurricane Wilma preparations and
continue his workouts. He was
rewarded for his efforts, cutting a
minute off hisprevious best time,


*C raiiMF~


medaling with an llth place finish
at 17:43," said Cross Country
Coach Don Trew.
Gutierrez was on the heels of
Sebring's top runner Matt Guthrie,
who beat him by less than five sec-
onds. "Gutierrez ran a strong first
mile, perhaps too strong at 5:31. He
came back with a 5:55 for the sec-
ond mile and 5:50 at the three-mile
point, before running the last 200
meters of the 5K race," commented
Trew.
Both Guthrie and Gutierrez qual-
ified for the Class 2A-Region 3
meet hosted Nov. 5 by Estero and
held at Lake Park, Fort Myers.
"If we can get him to run an even
5:45 for the first 2.5, he should
shave another 30 seconds off his'
time at Regions and could have a
shot at qualifying for state," said
Trew as he set goals for Gutierrez.
Gutierrez was one of two boys in
the Class 2A District 5 champi-
onships held Oct. 25 at Al Lopez
Field in Tampa and hosted by
Tampa Jesuit, which claimed the
boys team title. Other schools
,included Academy of Holy Names,
Newsome, Sebring, Frostproof,
Clearwater Central, Lake Wales,
Haines City, Avon Park, Bartow,
Ridge, Tampa Catholic, Haines
City, Mulberry, Tampa Robinson
and St. Petersburg Catholic.
For Hardee, freshman Jose,
Rodriguez also ran his best tiine,
covering the course in 28:03,
reported Trew.
Hardee girls faced the same
group of schools and "ran well
despite a series of calamities during
preparations." Two girls missed
practices and were demoted to the
SJV squad, leaving only the top six
Strong runners with a shot at
advancing to regionals. Only four

'. WellFootball Fans, as we enter November, USC and Texas still lead '
the race for the National Championship. The SEC must have Alabama go C
undefeated to make a case for the conference should either of the leaders R
"falter.Tommy Tuberville shook up ESPN with his comments about the C
influencing effect the commentators do to impact the championship race. If
the Tide finishes 12-0, how do you deny an SEC team two years in a row Ir
from playing for the National Championship? Let's face it, the other teams H
would never go unbeaten with an SEC schedule. Virginia Tech would be
lucky to finish 7-4 in the SEC. Time for a playoff system in my humble
opinion.
Other tidbits from college football:
,-R'=nqwtga^ *a-b0wl--eligible- within -wineover--Navy-this week"The. -B
Scarlet Knights could finish 8-3 and be ranked by season's end. Congats Ci
Coach Schiano and RU Fans. S
Hats off to the Gator defense in the win over UGA. The offense will V\
need more than 14 points in games to come to win.
Coaching rumors have Bob&Pruett, former Marshall coach; going to
either Kentucky or Temple ilu2006., .
Bowl Scouts from the Toilet Bowl in Flushing, Ohio will be watching
Duke and Temple closely. Those teams are about the worst in college foot-
ball. ., .
Gator fans will become Auburn fans when the Tigersplay Georgia. An
Auburn win coupled with Gator wins over South Carolina and Vanderbilt
would send UF to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.
Did you know the Big East currently has only one team with a losing
record? After FSU struggled with Maryland and Miami trailed North
Carolina at the half, the Big East doesn't look like the weak conference the
ESPN mouthpieces say it is. West Virginia beat Maryland 31-19 while
Louisville scored 69 on the Tar Heels.
Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare:
1.Vanderbilt at Florida-With renewed hope for an SEC East Tite, the
Gators close their home SEC schedule with a lopsided win over the
Commodores. Florida 31 Vanderbilt 13. ,
2. Southern Miss at Marshall-This game is on ESPN on Tuesday after
the weekend games. USM trails UCF in CUSA East play and they have
never played at Joan Edwards Stadium where the Herd reigns supreme. The
QB controversy at Marshall is over. Bernie Morris will lead the Herd to its
First major win in CUSA play. Marshall 27 USM 23.
:3. Connecticut at West Virginia-Mountaineers are well rested and
healed. Huskies are banged up. The BSC Game is in the Mountaineer's
sights along with a 10-l;.eason. West Virginia 38 UConn 17.
4. Pitt at Louisville-Panthers think'they are on the rebound to win the
Big East after a couple wins. Louisville has not lived up to the pre-season
hype but will blow dut the Panthers. Louisville 49 Pitt 21. I
: 5; USF at Rutgers-A long layoff can either help or hurt the Bulls. The
Scarlet Knights.are bowl eligible for-the first time in years; The senior-
laden boys fromJersey will pull this 'one out. Rutgers; 34 USF 24.
6. North CirolinitaState at FSU-Lets face it. FSU and the Big East
defectors are the ONLY ACC teams of any substance. The rest are Mid-
American Conference calibre. Is FSU taking them lightly? If the Noles are
Sto beat Virginia Tech, it's time to play some serious football. FSU 35 NCSU
1 3 ; -. ,- .: ,.... .8 ; ., ,, :,, ,i' ,,
7. Miami at Virginia Tech-Canes'struggled against a UNC team that
Louisville hung- 69 points .on.. That game in front of 30,000 fans at 'the
Orange Bowl to boot. Rutgers had 41,000 the same day against Navy. Yes,
those ACC teams can pack them in, can't they? They will in Blacksburg to
see the Hokies blow out Miami 45-13.
8. Tennessee at Notre Dame-Irish thought this would be a huge game.
IVols will be lucky if the Irish don't shut them out. What has happened in
Knoxville?,-Ntre Dame 37 Tennessee 10.

"Dollar Day" for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The money has been directly donated to Harper

The Main Event
By Megan McKibben,
Main Street Wauchulairnc. Executive Director ,H


HOOKED ON PUMPKINS
What is a pumpkin? It is Indian summer wrapped up in plant form, a
plump and generous icon of fall. We love its size and shape, its blazing
color. We stir it into comforting pies, plunge our hands into its stringy inte-
rior to pull out nutritious seeds, ac e pleasingly round surface to cheer
us through the change of seasons, qma '-e'brate its sunny essence with our
fifth annual Pumpkins in the Park. *". .
With the temperature finally changing; and Thanksgiving quickly
approaching, Main Street Wauchula Inc. plans to get Hardee County fami-
lies in the spirit of the fall season this Saturday with Pumpkins in the Park.
The colorful mounds of pumpkins will provide a unique backdrop for mem-
orable Pumpkin Patch pictures. After snapping family poses, the little ones
can take an old-fashioned hayride along the Main Street corridor, while par-
ents shop for "Pumpkin Perfections" (goodies).
SAnd what food signals fall more than soup? A variety, of our local
homemade soups can be sampled while watching:the younger set take on
the "Pumpkin Games." Our volunteers from the high school will be pro-
viding super supervision for contests, games and activities centered around
our celebrated gourd.
This is definitely one of the favorite traditions of Main Street..
Pumpkins and Pumpkins in the Park, especially, make us smile. All of us,
young and old. ... .:....
This Saturday also brings to a close the Chairs for Children auction.
The sensational seats will be on display during Pumpkins in the Park. Final
bids are to be taken and fortunate winners announced at 1:30 p.m. Dee
Shackelford, Diane Hunt, the entire library staff, as well as the Friends of
the Library are to be saluted for this exceptional fund raiser.
Each chair is accurately described as a "work of art." Not many people
can say they own' a "one-of-a-kind" piece of furniture. Come Saturday and
bid to bcomne one of this exclusive group.
The November Farmer's Market also takes place this Saturday. It will
.1e at "The\Lot" on U.S. 17 South near Main Street in Wauchula. The suc-
gessful initial market, held last month, has established yet another tradition'
of Main Street Wauchula.
:- Come early to get the best selection. And remember, the Farmer's'
Market is every first Saturday of the month, from 8 am. to noon. If you
would like to participate in the December market call the Main Street office
to reserve your spot, 767-0330.
The Flea Market (Tag Sale)' was originally scheduled to be held twice.
- in the fall and spring. Well, you can't keep a good thing down! And in
response to the interest of adding more dates, the Main Street Board decid-
ed to make this a bi-monthly event. A spot can also be reserved by calling
the office. Start going through those closets now!
Hardee County doesn't have hills alive with the sound of music, but we
will have a park alive with it! The Main Street Music in the Park begins on '
Friday, Nov. 18..Each third Friday will be celebrated with a free concert or
choral performance at Heritage Park.
Pumpkins, farmer's markets, tag sales, music. Main Street has some-
thing for everyone. Main Street's goals are to plant tradition seeds. Please
help in their growth so we might all benefit from the harvest.'
See you downtown!

Wake Me When It's Over
Here it is late October and we were still talking hurricanes! Seems
strange, but it's. important t9 remember that Atlantic Hurricane Season con-
tinues until Nov. 30.
We were fortunate to only receive a glancing blow from Wilma. Your
Emergency Operations Center staff was fully prepared to act if Wilma had
changed her mind and decided to make a visit here instead of Collier
County.
This month's epistle will focus on some of the history behind storm
names and some other interesting facts and figures.

It's AH Greek To Me
As you know, we have exhausted the traditional list of hurricane names
for this year with Wilma making her unwelcome arrival in Southwest
Florida. During all that excitement, little Tropical Storm Alpha formed in
the Western Caribbean. Although. it didn't last long, Alpha has made histo-
ry by being the 22nd named tropical system this year. On Tuesday of last
week, we were introduced to Tropical Storm Beta, making 23 named tropi-
cal cyclones in one year.
According to policy, the National Hurricane Center goes to the Greek
Alphabet for storm names once the regular list is used up. In case you're
wondering, the next letter in the Greek alphabet is Gamma, followed by
Delta then Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta, It's starting to sound like a college fra-
ternity around here!
Hurricanes are given names to reduce confusion when forecasters are
giving information to the general public. The practice began in the 1950s,
When storms were referred to by the military alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie,
Delta, etc.). Female names were, formally introduced in 1953 and a list of
"official" names was created. Male names were added to the Atlantic storm
list in 1979.
There are actually six lists that rotate each year. Names can by dropped
if a storm is particularly devastating (Andrew, Betsy, Camille and Charley,
among others, have been dropped) or if the name falls from common use
(Hanna replaced Hortense in 2002). There are also lists of official names for
North and South Pacific storms and'storms that affect Australia. All these
lists are updated by the World Meteorological Organization.

By The Numbers
Here are some interesting facts on some of the work done by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National
Hurricane Center.
-3 Number of hurricane research planes operated by NOAA based at
MacDill AFB in Tampa.
*9 Number of different types of aircraft operated by NOAA.
*884 Lowest recorded central pressure (measured in millibars) of an
Atlantic hurricane (Wilma).
.3 Number of Category 5 hurricanes this year (a new record).
.6 Number of major (Category 3 or higher) storms this year.
.721 Number of people who took shelter in Hardee County from
Wilma.
*1960 -The last year in which more than one Category 5 storm made
landfall.
*4 Number of weeks left in Hurricane Season.

Are You Ready?
Fortunately, we are nearing the end of Hurricane Season. With that in
mind, let's discuss some safety tips for storing you preparedness items and
equipment so it will all be ready for you next year.
*Perform regular maintenance on your gasoline-powered equipment
(generators, chainsaws, etc.).
*Include some type of fuel stabilizer additive-if you are going to store
lhj fuel or equipment without running it for a long period of time.
I 'If you boarded up your home, remove the boards carefully and seek
Assistance if necessary to avoid injury.
*Remove batteries from flashlights and radios before storing them to
prevent leaks.
*Check expiration dates on any food products you might have in your
hurricane kit and discard them if expired.
-Replace any items that were used that are non-perishable.
Tip Of The Month
Get in a habit of using the date when the time changes (Fall Back,
Spring Forward) to change the batteries in your smoke detector. Smoke
detectors save lives, period. It's simple and takes just a few minutes.
Remember, managing your emergencies begins with you.

For The Herald-Advocate '"
It was like being back in time,"
said Capt. Dennis Lake of the'
Wauchula Police Department.
He is referring to the town of
Hattiesburg, Miss, an old Southern
town roughly the size of Lakeland,
where local law enforcement offi-
cers and public works employees
traveled to render aid following the
Hurricane Katrina.
"The storm damage ... to.
Hattiesburg was comparable to
Wauchula. There was moderate
damage to structures because of
wind and fallen trees. The roads
were also blocked with debris, but
that was before we arrived," said
Dep. Micah Hendrickson.
Members of local law enforce-
ment traveled to Hattiesburg, and
stayed there Sept. 7-10 acting as
facilitators and organizers for hurri-
cane relief. Their jobs included:
directing phone calls, locating stor-
age areas for donations, organizing
a shelter for those without homes
and finding a way for 8,000-10,000
people to receive Red Cross vouch-
ers.

the troupe spent the night in sleep-
ing bags at a weigh station on the
Florida/Alabama border, near Mile
Marker Three. The next day they
were in Hattiesburg.
Upon reaching Hattiesburg, the
group tried to seek lodging in a
local shelter, only to find out that it
was full. Instead of staying there,


they were allowed to stay in the
house of a Public Information
Officer. The house had sustained
minor damage to the windows, but
it was nothing that boards could not
fix.
Hattiesburg's economy is run on
the timber business, so pine trees
were commonplace. The majority
of these trees were broken by the
high wind speeds.
"The structures that received
damage had wall and roof damage
from the high winds' and fallen
trees," said Hendrickson.

Attitudes On Ag
By Bill Hodge
Retired Farmer & Rancher


RFD-TV viewers will get a look at Florida agriculture with the first
show airing on Nov. 22. The Florida Farm Bureau and the Florida
Department of Agriculture are going national with their joint outreach cam-
paign. Viewers of RFD-TV nationwide will learn about Florida agriculture
producers who help improve the state's environment.
This first program airs on November 22 at 6:30 p.m. and will be
repeated on Nov. 23 at 2:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Future programs are sched-
uled for Dec. 27 and, in 2006, on Jan. 10, Feb. 14, April 11 and May 23..
RFD-TV is seen on DirecTV, Dish Network, Mediacom and NCTC
cable systems in all 50 states. The network serves more than 28 million
homes. The 30-minute programs are produced for Florida Farm Bureau by
FDACS marketing division, and are part of the series "Farm Bureau
Today." .

In October, Farm Bureau members traveled to Washington D.C. to
advocate changes in U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations for disas-
ter assistance for farm structures and crop losses not currently covered by
USDA. They met first with staff of the American Farm Bureau to find out
what they had going with USDA and members of Congress on this issue.
They reviewed a proposal for changes to the Federal Disaster Assistance
Program prepared by AFBF, FLFBF, and state farm bureaus of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama.
Then they met with the deputy administrator of USDA for farm pro-
grams. They questioned why structures-such as hay barns, shade houses and
such were not included in the disaster program. They also met with staff
members of senators Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez and other members of
Congress to discuss changes in the assistance program for farmers and
ranchers.

Florida Farm Bureau held its annual meeting in Orlando at Walt
Disney World on Oct. 12-14. More than 300 members from 50 county farm
bureaus attended this year's meeting. I thought it was the best annual meet-
ing I have attended. Wednesday night we were bused to the American
Adventure Theatre for an outstanding dinner and show. On Thursday night
the Chipola College Show Choir entertained us. The 18 students sang and
danced a program of American music that was an outstanding show.
..... One-fact Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson presented in his
speech that hit me was, Florida is losing 1,000 people a day. In 1953 Florida
had 59,000 farms with 18.5 million acres. In 2003 we had 44,000 farms
with 10.2 acres. That's a decline of 8.3 million acres of farmland. More and
more, Florida is growing houses and lessiagricultural products and cattle.
We can see that right here in Hardee County as the groves disappear and are
being replaced with subdivisions.
Reminder: The American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting is in
Nashville, Tenn., on Jan. 8- 1. To registercall Chris Miller at 352-374-1535

Cats Take District Title; Greet Colonial Friday



Wildcat Come-Back Win Sets Playoff Games


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats produced
another miracle win Friday night.
In the biggest win this'season, the
Cats gave up a pair of first-half
scores to the visiting DeSoto
Bulldogs and dominated the second
half for an improbable 16-12 victo-
ry in the state's longest football
rivalry..
The win puts Hardee in the dri-


very's seat at the start of the region-
al playoffs which begin Nov. 11.
The Wildcats will host the Tampa
Robinson Knights which crushed
Tampa Jesuit on Friday night 42-3
to claim the 3A-11 for the runner-
up spot. Of the 31 teams in the 3A
Championship March, 14 are in the
state poll. Hardee is ranked third,
behind Belle Glade Glades Central
and St. Augustine.
Before that all takes place,

Hardee has a game left on its regu-
lar-season schedule. The Orlando
Colonial Grenadiers visit Friday
night, which just happens to be
Senior Night, when more than two
dozen football players plus cheer-
leaders and athletes from other fall
sports will be honored in pre-game
ceremonies which begin at 6:30.
Colonial, a 6A school, presently
carries a 4-5 record, with wins over
Titusville in the pre-season game
and Cypress Creek, West Orange,
University and Oak Ridge. Its loss-
es have come to Freedom, Ocoee,
Winter Park, Edgewater and
Timber Creek.
Coach Ed Koschewa and the
Grenadiers had a bye last week,
which may help them prepare for
the game against Hardee. The ros-
ter features 18 seniors and 25
juniors. Senior quarterback Marcus
Myers may get the nod over juniors
Andrew Strong and Josh Shroyer.
Senior Jared Travis handles kicking
and punting duties.
Hardee may go without starters
Justin English, Daniel Moore,
Pierre Lazarre and Brad Gilliard,
electing to hold them out to heal:
from injuries and be more ready for
the regional playoffs.
The Cats had an unenviable start
Against the Bulldogs in last week's
game at home against DeSoto. A
tape of Cat screams and Bulldog
yelps incited the Bulldogs in their
bid to upset the Wildcats. DeSolo
forced a couple of Hardee miscues
and took advantage for a 12-0 half-
time lead. Hardee stormed back in
the second half and shut down the
'Dawgs while putting 16 points on


the board.
It was the best defensive game all
year," said Head Coach Derren
Bryan.
Defensive coordinator John
Sharp agreed. "Our defense was
super, holding DeSoto to just 34 net
yards of offense. Sacks nearly off-
set any gains DeSoto made. The
Bulldogs usually get 200 to 300'
yards game.
Junior Ricky Wiggins chose
Friday for "his best game of the


season. He had 10 tackles, includ-
ing one for a loss," said Sharp, in
naming Wiggins Defensive Player
of the Game. "We were really
pleased with our effort.," comment-
ed Sharp.
Other defenders doing a super
job included linemen Ramon
Hernandez and Garrett Randall,
who"really stepped it up in the
fourth quarter." In on several sacks
were Johnny Ray Harris, who con-
tributed on two of them, Jackson


Frenot and Pierre Lazarre.
Usual tackle leader Jose Salvador
didn't have a number of tackles, but
turned back .opposing players and
let other Wildcats tackle them. In
on tackles were Briant Shumard,
Terry Redden, Chris Rich and
Jackson Mosely.
Offensively, the Wildcats domi-
nated the game start to finish.

Hardee had 167 yards of offense to

Seminar


Thursday, November 10th


with a 28-yard pass completion
from Palmer to Woods putting
Hardee at the 10-yard line. Three
plays later and under a minute in
the half, a Hardee fumble on a fake
field goal try turned the ball over to
DeSoto to run out the clock .and
take a 12-0 lead into the locker
room.
The Wildcats were a determined
team as the second half opened
with a DeSoto possession. Sacks
and tackles in the backfield
dropped them deeper and deeper,
finally facing 4th and 25.
With Gilliard now sidelined with
an injury, Carpenter joined Hodges
in toting the football. Six plays
later, Carpenter went the final yard
into the end zone. With a Pablo
Anselmo kick, Hardee had. cut
DeSoto's lead to 12-7. Late in the
third period, DeSoto was again
forced to punt. Hardee started at its
24 and used up 3:17 in the third
quarter and a good portion of the
fourth on a steady drive downfield.
Hardee got to the two-yard line, but
just could not get into the end zone.
DeSoto took over and tried to run
out the clock. Pushed back to a 4th
and 7, DeSoto elected to give up a
safety, which cut the Bulldog lead
to 12-9.
Then came Youyoute's heroics.
Expecting a possible on-side kick,
Hardee was ready. Instead, Bulldog
Arturo Vargas boomed the football,
with Youyoute getting it at the 30.
"Lisnell is super fast, and we want-
ed him to get the ball. He's been
trying to score all year. He got.
behind the wedge we set up, and
couldn't be caught," said Bryan.
Anselmo's kick made the final
score 16112.
DeSoto came out to try to get
back in front. As the Wildcat crowd
screamed "DEFENSE," DeSoto
got off a good pass for a 20-yard
gain and a quarterback run for
another five. A fumble was recov-
ered by DeSoto. Then the quarter-
back was sacked for a 10-yard loss.
Under the minute mark, and with
no time-outs left, DeSoto never quit
trying. Frenot and Randall cornered
DeSoto quarterback Shay Shine
and running back Jamaal Blanden
back at the Bulldog 38.
With 24 ticks on the clock,
Palmer took a knee and let the
game end as the Wildcat crowd
came alive, many flocking onto the
field to congratulate the players and
coaches.


Brad Gilliard (44) cradles the football as Bulldogs hangs on to his leg.


Marc Hodges (4) stumbles for a few more yards as he's tackled by Troy Kelly (5).

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson

AFTER THE CHILDREN'S HOUR
The shriek and shout and frolic
Of the children has faded away.
The toys in the toybox are silent,
Sleeping where they lay.
The couple siting at the table
Sipping cups of tea
Once felt the old house tremble
With youthful frivolity.
Now little Billy is overseas,
He left the first of May.
Gracie no longer serves her dolls.
She has her own caf6.
Bobby doesn't fix his toys.
His condescension's missed.
He's a medical doctor now
And Pat's a receptionist.


Memories live on in the quiet
As the kitchen clock strikes nine,
And tears are close to falling
From my spouse's eyes and mine.
But wait! In the distance there's thunder.
Are we in for some rain today?
There's a rumble and a stumble
Like elephants at play!
The tender sentiments at the table
Are suddenly rent in two
As the door bursts open and
New faces come into view!
These children have the look
Of moppets we've seen before,
But no time to reflect, the crowd come in
With a laugh and a shout and a roar.
The toy box is radically raided.
The blocks are scattered wide.
The wooden soldier is recruited
Once more to stem the tide.
Boredom and silence we can forget
And wipe away that tear,
For memories will have to wait.
The grandkids are here!!


With Sincere Appreciation
This is a. thank you for the generous support we
received in having a picnic October 29 for members
of law enforcement and fire rescue, and their fami-
lies. We appreciate the efforts of John loannidis,

I REMEMBER A

LITTLE GIRL

WHO CRIED

ABOUT HER

HORSE
By: Dr. Ross A.
Hendry, DVM


Lir Hndr.,


It was March 15, 1968 that I joined Dr. W. W. Matthews and Dr.
Frank Gutterage at Matthews Animal Hospital in Arcadia, but they did-
n't turn me loose until Labor Day weekend of that year to take emer-
gency calls.
During those three days I cut what are called "Leeches" out of five
horses, One little girl's horse had leeches down the entire side of the foot
and I literally had to cut the wall of the foot off. I told her and her father
that horse had a very poor prognosis. I remember her so well because she
started crying and her daddy whipped her for crying.
Then, when I was at a rodeo in Plant City a few months later talking
to Kayo Wells, a little girl came up and asked. "Do you know who I am?"
I remembered her very well because she was the one I had told her horse
had leeches so bad that it would never be sound again.
As it turned out scar tissue had filled in the wall of the foot and the
horse was absolutely sound. The little girl competed in the barrel racing
*event that night but, of course, that was an almost miraculous outcome to
a terrible disease.
Recently, however the Pan American Veterinary Laboratories, a
Texas Corporation, has developed an ELISA serologic test for early and
rapid diagnosis for Leeches which are caused by a fungi called Pythium
insidiosum that penetrates tissue much like cancer.
Now samples are sent to the laboratory in Texas, are assayed in one
business day and the results are faxed or e-mailed immediately.
The advantage of the new test is to diagnose the early stages of
Leeches from other lesions like Habronema, commonly known as sum-
mer sores, caused by stable flies irritating the tissue. Habronema has
often been diagnosed as Leeches because they are so similar in appear-
ances during the early stages, so we welcome a new test that will diagnose
a problem in the very early stages.
The neat thing is this company has also developed a vaccine that is
actually a treatment for Leeches. It is an immune stimulator and is now
the recommended therapy. It is made of purified Pythirum insidioum and
Produces a 95% cure rate in acute infections (less Ihan 30 days), a 75%c
cure rate in infections (30 to 60 days) and when used in conjunction with
surgery and anti-fungals there is a 90% success rate in long-term chron-
ic cases.

Letter To The Editor

Some People Do Not Respect

The Property Of Others


Dear Editor,
I am very sorry Alpha and
Omega Ministries lost their chairs
and tarp. I am friends with Lorraine
and John. I saw their chairs outside
their ministry (the old original
Christian bookstore) building.
I guess'I should have told them
that they should have taken in their
chairs when they were not there.
Their sitting in the back (the
parking lot where the Main Street
Pub parks their cars) was just too
inviting for anyone to stop by aid
party. That's what these people evi-
dently did. They were drawn to the
canopy and the picnic. table and
plastic chairs. They decided they
liked their set-up so well they may
as well take everything home with
them.
If people can pick flowers from


the Thrift Store and pull flowers out
in front of an apartment building,
what will stop them from heisting
chairs?
I had an umbrella sitting outside
a friend's apartment near the court-
house, and I looked outside and it's
gone. Of course, it was raining, and
some teens were walking by and
saw it and decided they didn't want
to get wet. Why should they when
an umbrella was available to them.
We are living in a sinister world
today. We don't take anything for
granted. People don't have the
morals like in the 1950s and '60s. I
believe the percentages have
changed. Most of the time we could
trust people, and now most of the
time we cannot.

Freda's Foibles
By Freda B. Douglas


This is a day the Lord has made. We shall not waste it, we will glorify
it and be glad in it.
A passion with me ever since I could talk, apparently, has been read-
ing. As a child I used to take home children's book which we now call
paperback readers from school and read maybe three or four in an evening.
When I stayed with my grandmother I would go downstairs very early, get
a couple of homemade rolls, slather them with peanut butter, return to my
bed and read. Of course that stopped when my grandmother discovered
crumbs in the bed, but the reading didn't, and has never ceased these 65 or
70 years hence.
My favorite reading is fiction because with fiction I can disappear into
another world where troubles and problems cease to exist. Yet I tend to also.
read self-improvement books because my advanced years do not preclude:,
trying to better myself. I am reading. such a book now, written by Dr. Joe"
Rubino. I like his books because he never talks down to his audience. (The
print is large enough to make reading his books enjoyable, too.)
From this book I'm going to print some paragraphs I think my readers:
might appreciate about work compared to pleasure:
"Walking through a local zoo, I came across a large gorilla sitting list-
lessly in a cage. This gorilla had lost all traces of energy and enthusiasm for
life. He sat, in his own jail, in his own mess, the picture of resignation and
despair. Although he was going through the motions of life, he had long.
since died inside.
"The sight reminded me of the masses of people stuck in their self-
imposed mental cages. People who, a little bit at a time, are losing their
vitality and enthusiasm for life and work.
"So many people are trapped in jobs they hate. Jobs that provide them
with no sense of accomplishment, contribution or challenge.
"Like that gorilla, these individuals are.so numbed by their situation
they fail to see any way out of a monotonous life that no longer meets their
wants, nor honors their values. They become resigned to an existence struc-
tured by those twin sacrifices lack of money and lack of time.
"Before long, the binding box they built begins to feel like home. Even
the dream of a better and different lifestyle becomes remote, then fades and
is forgotten forever. Their lives can be summed up in one word resigna-'
tion. As Norman Cousins says, the tragedy of life is not death but that which'
dies in us while we are still living."
You might ask why I have chosen those particular passages. Dr. Rubino
was educated to be a dentist, but after a certain length of time, he lapsed
into that sort of life's resignation and changed his profession to that of an
author/networker. When I was recovering from my stroke, but not to the
extent I could return to my former job, network marketing was my salva-
tion.
For a while, John and I had our own mail-order business, but follow-
ing his death, I closed that business because of emotional problems, and
later went back to networking. I'm not making any money, but the friend-
ships I have developed and nurtured continue to be an added joy in my life.
Please, if you are in a deadhead job, think about making some changes.
It won't be easy, but with the help and understanding of God and your fam-
ily, you can do it. I have the faith, as I'm sure you do, that you can do any-
thing to which you set your mind.
Something else I read elsewhere gives me a fit closing. These are
words from Dr. Robert Schuller: "So I wrote out a Ticket to Heaven, which
the words of Jesus Christ, Who said, 'Anyone who comes to me, I will in
no way cast out.'"
Jesus didn't have a lot of rules and regulations. Religions put out rules,
but Jesus didn't put out rules. He just said "Come ... come to Me. I'll take
you in. Anyone who comes to Me, I will in no way cast out."
Have a happyday and remember, God loves you, and you, and so do I.

DeSoto Downs HJHS Cats


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Junior High Wildcats
scored first but the DeSoto
Panthers scored most often.
The DeSoto Middle School
squad upended Hardee 22-6 in last
Tuesday's home finale at Wildcat
Stadium.
The young Cats finished the
2005 season Tuesdayin .a resched-
ule game at Sebring. Results were
unavailable at press time.
Hardee got on the board first. A
kickoff return to the 50-yard line
put the Cats in good field position.
Quarterback Ezayi Youyoute's pass
to Tylar Alden was good for a 20-
yard gain. Lincoln Saunders picked
up another 20 yards on a sweep
around left end.
SAs the junior Wildcats neared the
DeSoto goal line, You oute ran the
ball to the Panther. 15-yard line.
Saunders ran around left end for the
touchdown. A conversion run was
stopped in the backfield.
Late in the first quarter, DeSoto
was forced to punt. Hardee took
over and still had possession as the
second stanza started. Jarrius
Lindsey, Antjuan Jones and Tyrell
Smith had some good gains before
Hardee was forced to punt.
DeSoto started at i'ts 40. A half
dozen pla3.s later. Anthon.
Campbell \eni 'oVer left tackle for
a 7-\ard TD. Aldous' Fain put his
team up 8-6 w ith a conversion run
on the reverse.
Hardee was moving along When
lime ran out for the first half
DeSoto took the kickoff for a
good runback to start the third peri-
od Fain slanted to the right for a
39-yard touchdown about four
plays later An Xavier Robinson run
made it 16-6 in DeSoto's favor late
in the third quarter.
Smith returned the kickoff 18
yards to start Hardee at its 38-yard
line. Saunders Alden, Lindsey and
Youyoute ran the ball. When the
quarterback was sacked on fourth
down. DeSolo look over the foot-
ball. It took five plays for Robinson
to score from the 24-yard line. The
cofiversion carry was not success-,
ful. DeSoto won 22-6.
There was no score in the fifth


quarter which allows less active
players to get into the game and get
some experience. Each team has
possession for four minutes. Chace

would and some haven't got all
their paperwork done."

seniors Jennifer Hand, Karrissa

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY
Psalm Psalm Genesis Genesis Psalm Psalm Psalm ,
46 85 1:1-2:4a 2:4b-25 104 ,105 107


"Thank you for picking upyour toys." "Thank you for
reemembering to get milk." "Thank you for putting gas in the car."
"Thank you for making your bed."
Small routine matters? No! Because when a "thank you"' is
said, it provides a link of love for those involved. If we work on
these small links of love, we can make life happier for those around
us. It is encouraging to be thanked for the things we do. .
The personal "thank you" also reminds us that a thank you to
God is in order. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 we are reminded to
"...give thanks in all circumstances". We can thank Him in prayer
as we acknowledge. His love and presence. We don't have to stop
and close our eyes and bow our heads each time; we can just say a
simple "thank you". Our prayers pf thanksgiving link us to God
with love.
As we pray, each day and weekly at our house of worship, we
can say thank you for everything, big and small. With each "thank
you" we can acknowledge God's love for us and our love for Him!
