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. Annual 'Pumpkins In Park' Saturday 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 See POLICE CHIEF 2A 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.

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. 46z plus 40 sales tax 46 plus 4 sales tax 2A The Herald-Advocate, November 3, 2005 The Herald-Advocate: Hardee County 's Hometown Coverage. : : ,) :,.., JAMES R.

Kelly's Column By Jim John Long, a Wauchula native and 1964 graduate of Hardee High School, died of an apparent heart attack while vacationing with his wife in Montana on Oct. 26.

He became chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. He was dedicated to education. Long was a Democrat and was consid- ered a highly effective negotiator. He seldom had serious political opposi- tion in seeking public office. Long was considered a fair person who could see both sides of a situ- ation. He and his wife Marsha were members of the Methodist Church at Land 0' Lakes. They raised two daughters, Jennifer and Jessica. A Dr. John Long Scholarship Fund has been established.

Sqc 13c 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. PUMPKINS Continued From 1A 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. Don't miss out on.all the tradi- tional fun Main Street has to offer this month. Head downtown! POLICE Continued 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 School Resource court, Robinson accepted a plea 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 morning of Sept. 13, and had been sent to the Dean's Office. "He refused to go. He was walking around the campus.'' By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate A teen who physically lashed out against school authorities has been expelled .for the remainder of the !current academic year. That School Board action, how- ever, follows a court ruling placing Jawain Robinson, 17, ; of 637 Chamberlain Blvd., Wauchula, in a juvenile detention facility for at least the next several months. Robinson had been criminally charged with three counts of bat- tery on a school employee, a third- degree felony, as a result of the Sept. 13 incident at Hardee Senior High School. And his case reached final dispo- sition in Hardee Juvenile Court prior -I.. his expJsion ,Ja.ring before the Hardee Count) School Board last Thursday night. In CHIEF From 1A Chairman Green said, "I have seen a lot of garbage. I saw the ;mayor .here 36 hours through, the Storm. I saw what the officers did. My hat's off to him. He is one of the best, most honest police officers I have met." ' S When asked if he wanted to com- ment, Scheid said, "The staff has done an outstanding job. They have solved more crimes and made more arrests. They are pro-active. They are bringing in money. Zolfo Springs is not a speed trap. We ,don't write a speeding ticket for less than 15.miles an hour over the limit. "We had a bicycle registration. I ,am happy with what we have accomplished. There is a lot more to do," said Scheid." SGreen asked for a roll-call vote. "He is chief by four to one. He is not acting chief anymore." Scheid said after the meeting the town police department wrote $40,000 in speeding fines for September, and that the town gets ito keep 56 percent of the total. Officer When school resource officer Dep. Larry Cook approached Robinson to ask him where he wfs going, the teen responded with an obscenity. He refused to go with Cook, and headed toward the school cafeteria, Dick said. 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 fighting with Cook. Dick said Ron Herron and Ron Beldin observed the fracas and came to assist. Robinson was handcuffed and arrested, then trans- ported to the Hardee County Jail. His expulsion became the second of the 2005,06-school year. Telling The Truth ... By J. Adam Shanks Preacher 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!, J.Adam Shanks is minister of the Church of Christ in Wauchula.

Roger Green, chairman of the Town -Council, watches 'the scene following the 4-1 vote 'Thursday night. w 'Y 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 higher. Commissioner Dale Johnson questioned a 25 percent increase, "or 35 percent if you count the fuel surcharge." ' CommiSsioners, also questioned ..yho determines if a car needs tow- ng.

State Statute chapter 316 says where parking is prohibited by signs, the owner can be cited with a parking ticket, a noncriminal traffic infrac- tion. If there is no signage, there Registration Opens At SFCC South Florida Community College has begun registering stu- dents for the 2006 Spring Term. Registration began two days ago for those students who have com- pleted 40 or more semester hours. Those who have 20-39 semester hours will begin registration tomor- row (Friday) and on Nov. 9 anyone with less than 20 hours will be able to register. New students, transfer students and those returning after missing a semester may apply on Nov. 14. Nov. 28 will see open registration for all students, including transient, dual enrolled and those not seeking a degree. Tuition must be paid at time of registration. The Registrar's Office will be taking walk-in registrations form 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays. On Monday Nov. 21, registration hours will be 1-6, p.m. Students can register at the Hardee and DeSoto campuses, Buildings B at the Highlands Campus in Avon Park and at the Lake Placid Center. As a reminder, registrations for college courses are also accepted 24 hours a day over the Internet at Panther Access Web Services (P.A.W.S.). Visit www.southflorida.edu for more information. Students. receiving financial aid may also use the P.A.W.S. online network to check their status.

"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.

November 3, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 3A 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.

Robarts Family Funeral Home- Wauchula 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 FRANK LONG KUNBERGER Frank Long "Poppy" Kunberger, 70, of.-Fort Meade, died Friday, Oct. 21, 2005.

Currently, it can take more than an hour and a half to reach these communities which is unacceptable by Red Cross stan- dards. The new Service Center will pro- vide a convenient facility for health and safety education including First Aid, CPR, HIV education and other courses. In addition, it will provide conveniently located training areas and space for materials, instructor support, curriculum planning and outreach. It is anticipated that this facility will enable the Red Cross to train an additional 3,000 residents each year. In spite of its reputation as a 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 Youth Corps program provides leadership development training and meaningful service opportuni- ties to teens 13-18.

"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.

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?

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.

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. ... .:....

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.

Please help in their growth so we might all benefit from the harvest.' See you downtown! Safe By Ri Emergency I Keeping ih Shepard Management Director 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. By BRETT JARNAGIN 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 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.

Toast, isagna Pears, 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.

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.

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. Despite the 12-0 halftime deficit, Hardee had 167 yards of offense to See CATS 3B Offensive Player of the Week Marc Hodges (4) tries to break loose and cross the goal line but is stopped just short of it.

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). warning signs of hearing loss, why early intervention is important, why you' can understand some people and not others * Discuss the newest technology available to help you hear * Learn how hearing technology improve the quality of your life those around you can and * Ask your questions and get honest answers RSVP 863-382-9210 today (seating is limited) Location: Best Western Heritage Inn & Suites 2727 US Hwy 17 North (2 miles north of Wauchula) Refreshments served.

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.

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. 915 N. 6th Ave. Pet Care 773-6783 Wauchula C r center 11:3 REENWOO J CHEVROLET O* ldsmobile.

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.

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. r (, u. . Your Child Will Learn to Read!

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.

"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!

Wrapping and tying Christmas packages so attractively, the gift it contained would only be secondary, was the experience of a group of Home Demonstration Club women. : Traveling to the class in Avon Park were: Mrs. Virginia Metheny, Wauchula Hills Club; Miss Florence Lawson and Mrs. Ouida Roberts, Lemon Grove Club; Mrs. Almeta Frierson, Limestone; Mrs. Kay Leatherman and Mrs. Emily Jascinsky, Zolfo Club; Mrs. Truella .'.iss, Fish Branch Club and Mrs. :..E. Yarley and Mrs. Claudia Studstill, Bowling Green Club. 25 YEARS AGO Farmland Industries has spent two days providing testimony and answering questions to convince Hardee County commissioners its mining and fertilizer plant opera- tion will be compatible with Hardee County enterprises.

Although only Farmland gave testimony during the two days, oth- ers asked questions to try to show there possible adverse effects.
