Hardee County commissioners are struggling more and more with that question, even as state legisla- tors and other officials seek to put more and more restrictions on the hows and whys of growth. The state seeks to make counties responsible that growth planning ensures the county has the capacity in schools, roads, water, sewer and other infrastructure to meet the needs of new residents. The county is being required to work closely with the school sys- tem in determining its ability to educate a burgeoning population. Schools Superintendent Dennis Jones said late last week that would be a challenge. "Even with the new K-8 school, we will have few empty classrooms next year. Like other school districts, we're experi- encing growth, although a bit slow- er. "Currently, we are about 100 stu- dents above last year. With what we see coming, we see more growth in the next few years. We have already begun discussions on future needs. We have our architect, Clemmons- Rutherford, working on a concep- tual design for the Bowling Green Elementary campus.

Rich Shepard, emergency management director, said the vehicle was unoc- cupied at the time, as the driver exited before the car sank to the river bottom. Ultimately, he said, a dive team from Highlands (,ounty-was called in to locate the car in the deep, swift waters. Terri Mushrush, co-owner of the towing company, said the vehi- cle is a 2004 Chrysler Sebring and that driver Victoria Juarez, of Griffin Road, said the steering locked-up before the car went into the river. She was able to escape through a window as the car filled with water. ,The Florida Highway Patrol did not have an acci- dent report available this week. Fired ZS Clerk Plans To File Lawsuit By CYNTHIA KRAHL ]Of The Herald-Advocate The town of Zolfo Springs has "been put on notice that a former employee plans to sue. .. And in .a* special meeting Tuesday night, Mary Jane Tindell, 'who was fired by Mayor Marilyn ,ker after only seven weeks'on the job as town clerk, pleaded her case before the Town Council in a termi- nation hearing her attorney, Joseph R. Fritz, said should have been held ;prior to Tindell's dismissal. , Two members of the council, iaoger Green and Roberta Meyer, voted to uphold the mayor's action. iTindell .1110 79 6S 1.83 /* .w/3 78 ef aoo S11104 82. .59 0.00 a. 6 oo. tl67 eq- 1 63 0.00 p106 82 6 '0.001 .'

Councilwoman Maggie Belcher was absent. Faced with a tie vote, town attor- ney Gerald Buhr said the matter will have to be rescheduled and heard before a full council. No date was set. "Based upon the tie vote, I demand her reinstatement with full pay right now," Fritz said. "You have failed to support the mayor." Buhr, said he would contact the town's labor attorney, Richard McCrea Jr. of Tampa, before responding to that demand. The hearing began with Fritz, of Patarini & Fritz in Wauchula, attacking the background investiga- Community Pep Rally Tonight! By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate True blue-and-orange fans of all ages should fill Wildcat Stadium tonight (Thursday). At an hour-long communitywide pep rally, fans can show their, sup- port for the Hardee Wildcat football team as it enters the Class 3A play- off race tomorrow evening. The pep rally officially begins at 6:30 p.m., but any former Wildcat players and cheerleaders are asked to meet at the north end of the sta- dium so they can sit with and be recognized with the group of their decade. It may be quite interesting to see which is the largest group. "It's all to get the community involved and football players pumped up. There will be pep talks, games .and activities organized by local businesses and the cheerlead- ers and introduction of past and present players and coaches," said coordinator Teresa White. The concession stand will be open for those wanting a drink or bite to eat before or during the rally. tion that Aker cited as a reason for placing Tindell on suspension on Sept. 9. Tindell was fired one week later, on Sept. 16. Fritz said Aker had complained some of the information on Tindell's resume could not.be con- firmed. He questioned why the town's investigator could not get an answer regarding Tindell's employ- ment with Hardee County. He said . he would have thought the county OVERDUE REPAIRS would readily cooperate with the town. Tindell had been employed in the county Office of Community Development before resigning to take the town clerk's position in Zolfo Springs. "We took exception to many of the remarks made by the investiga- tor," Fritz continued. "Our own investigation revealed he is not a See LAWSUIT 2A Of Sexuw By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Acvocate. A 19-year-old Wauchula man has beei- criminally charged for' allegedly having consensual sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl. Manuel Dejesus Soto, of 708 Seminole St., was booked into the Hardee County Jail last week on the .first-degree felony charge of sexual battery: He remained behind bars Wednesday in lieu of $5,000 cash or surety bond as he awaits trial. An arraignment in Hardee Circuit Court has been set for Nov. 22 at 8:30, a.m. As a.first-degree felony, the ' charge carries a possible maximum penalty of 30 years in state prison, according to State Statutes. Wauchula Police Chief William Beattie said the charge stemmed from an alleged incident at 1:30 in the morning on Sunday, Oct. 30. He said Soto and the 14-year-old Ia Battery had been talking on the telephone for about two months. On that night, the girl called Soto from a family residence, and he picked her up there and took her to his house. There, the chief said, the pair watched a movie before turning out See BATTERY 2A Soto PHOTO BY RALPH HARRISON Most of the damage at Hardee County Courthouse Annex II occurred about 15 months ago when Hurricane Charley raced through the county.

The recurring growth issue came up yet again at last week's commis- sion meeting in which two more phases of a group on McDonald Road in the Lost Acres area off Old Bradenton Road came up for approval. The commission scheduled a workshop on Tuesday evening with the county Planning aiid Zoning- Board, the first in a series designed to rewrite portions of the Land ,Development Regulations (LDRs) and county Comprehensive Land Use Plan (Comp Plan) to limit minor subdivision plats. In this instance, Xavier Calderon, of Sarasota, manager of Heartland Properties LLC, requested approval for phases three and four of Heartland Estates, accomplished by breaking a parent parcel into four. smaller ones and then dividing them into four minor subdivision plats, each with five parcels. "It's on a bad road, really sub- standard, hard to maintain, but then we get into property rights. They are long narrow lots to avoid putting in a road (as a major subdi- vision would require). They want to use the county road," commented Commissioner Minor Bryant., ..* "They are Farm-Residential zon- ing and meet the 100-foot road' requirement. Each is 1.93 acres (which meets the one-acre density in F-R zoning)," said Commis- sioner Bobby Ray Smith. County Manager Lex Albritton said 'it was "stacking, getting sever- al minor subdivision plats."' "But, if they meet all the rules we have now, we can't turn it down, 6k.

Soto said the girl told him given to each council member at r she was 16 years of age. the start of the meeting. This prompted Tindell to speak again. "An evaluation?-You did an evaluation on me? Did I sign it?" The question was not answered, but Fritz asked for a, copy of the evaluation as the council voted. After the meeting, Fritz said he filed a waiver of sovereign immu- nity on Oct. 10 with .the. state Department of Financial Affairs, the risk manager for the town. Zolfo Springs received a copy of the waiver, he.said. Now, he must wait six months before filing a lawsuit alleging the town is guilty of negligence in the dismissal. "Give me $100,000 and I'll go home," he said of the pend- ing action. "Look at this evaluation, which is a hoot," Fritz went on. "I find it unbelievable that, on'one hand, the mayor questions her educational credentials and, on the other, she lists her strength is she is well edu- cated'&" Further, Fritz said .that when he questioned the mayor about using an investigator who did'not possess an active license, "she said she had deputized him." Fritz ended, "The lady appears to be an expert in snatching disaster from the jaws of victory." . A copy of the evaluation shows a date of Sept. 12 on the opening page. Tindell was suspended prior to that date, and fired four days after it. The evaluation goes on to give Tindell low marks on knowledge of her job, work quality, productivity, teamwork, dependability, judg- ment, initiative, adaptability and planning. It lists Tindell's strengths,as "intelligent, good speaker, eiat- ed." The last page shows a different date from the opening page of the three-page document, a full month l later at Oct. 12. Aker has signed and dated that sheet. A blank for the employee's ,signature is, unsigned, but carries, the same Oct. 12 date next to it. Regimen is superior to medicine. -Voltaire plats were approved. Later in the meeting the issue came up again. Albritton said the legislature is considering a require- ment for "urban service areas" in the future land use element of the Comp Plans. When a developer wants to build, capacity within three years has to be established. Will schools be concurrent by 2008? Will there be water-sewer capacity? "It looks on the map like we're at school capacity now. We need more interactions with the School Board," said Johnson "The new class size amendment mandate will force more' schools and make it worse," commented Norris. "When they get the K-8 school done, we will already be behind," said Bryant. Jones said he had just begun to study Senate Bill 360: There will be a workshop in January' with a growth management expert, a spe- cialist in school district planning, who will meet with staff and again with the Board. "Growth manage- 'ment is not bad. We need sbme con- trol." Jones said state Special Facilities rules have helped with funding of' the K-8 school, but it ties up capital outlay as the district has to commit 75 percent of its capital outlay bud- get for three years for the school. The next school year is the final year on that K-8 commitment, and .would then free up. capital outlay forother needed projects. "Yes. we have talked about going back to that pot of mondy for another three. years for another school. It would keep us in a budget crunch. We've talked about ,expanding the Wauchula Elemen- tary School to the sixth grade wing of the junior highlcampus when it's vacated. We will have to bring it up to code." Jones said in the long-range plan- ning is the possibility of diverting some Zolfo Springs Elementary students to Wauchula Elementary While an, additional \ ing is added to Zolfo Springs. "" "'It will require close communi- cation between us and the county. I applaud the effort the state and count, are making to control growth in an orderly manner. It's a timely, issue, come to the. front burner. Ive lived here 30 years and we've not worried about it. "But there's huge growth in Highlands. Polk and Manatee .counties". We larjitEl acili"rfr in the" middle. If I remember my science class, nature abhors a vacuum and seeks to fill it," concluded Jones. The issue will resurface; at plan- ning sessions, workshops and com- mission and School Board meet- ings for months to come. By TONY YOUNG Special To The Herald-Advocate November means it's time to gas .up the truck and break out your shooting iron, because the 2005-06 hunting season is here. This month, general gun, fall turkey, quail and gray squirrel, snipe and the second phase of mourning and white-winged dove hunting seasons open. The first thing you need to do is pick up a $12.50 Florida resident hunting license. Non-residents pay $46.50 for a 10-day license or $151.50 for an annual license. If you plan to hunt one of Florida's many wildlife manage- ment areas (WMAs), you'll also need a $26.50 WMA permit, and don't forget to study the brochure about the specific WMA you plan to hunt because dates, bag limits' and rules differ greatly from area to area. You can get the brochure at your tax collector's office or wher- ever you buy your license, or you can download it from the Florida Fish and'Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC's) Web site at MyFWC.com/hunting. You can buy your license and permits over the phone by calling, toll-free, 1-888-HUNT-FLORIDA or online at MyFWC.com/license. Just have your credit card ready when you call or log on. The general gun season runs Nov. 12-Jan. 22 in the Central Hunting Zone. In the Northwest Zone, it comes in Thanksgiving Day and lasts four days, until Nov.. 27. Two weeks 'later, the season reopens Dec. 10 and runs through Feb.; 15. ,For readers hunting the South Hunting Zone, the general gun season runs Oct. 29-Jan. 8. Hunters can take bucks having at least one antler five inches long. On private land, the daily bag limit for deer is two. On private land, hunters can take wild hogs year-round with no bag or size limits. On most but not all public lands, there is also no bag or size limit on % ild hogs, and hunters can take them during any hunting season except spring turkey. Check the brochure to be sure. The highly anticipated antlerless deer season, sometimes called "doe week," is Dec. 17-23 in the., Northwest Zone, Nov. 19-25 in the Central Zone and Nov. 5-11 in the' South Hunting Zone. During doe week, the daily bag 'liit 'is one buck and one. doe ,or two bucks. You may not take two does in one day like during archery season, and spotted fawns are not legal game. Doe week does not apply on WMAs. If you hunt with deer dogs any- where in Florida, special rules and 4 registration requirements may apply. Contact the FWC for details. Fall turkey season in the Northwest Hunting Zone is Nov. 24-27 and Dec. 10-Jan. 15. In the Central and South zones, it's Nov. 12-Jan. 8. Only bearded turkeys or gobblers are legal game. The bag limit is one per day, and a total of two during the archery, muzzle- loading gun and fall turkey seasons combined. It is also against the law to hunt turkeys in Holmes County during the fall season. Quail and gray squirrel season runs statewide Nov. 12-Mar. 5. There is a daily bag limit of 12 for each', and shooting fox squirrels is against the law. Shooting hours for deer, turkeys, quail and gray squirrels is a half- hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. All legal firearms, muzzleloaders, bows, crossbows and handguns are legal for taking these resident game animals during the general gun, antlerless deer, fall turkey and quail and gray squirrel seasons. Snipe hunting in Florida ranks second in the nation in number of birds harvested each year, and the season runs. Nov. 1-Feb. 15 statewide. The second phase of the mourning and white-winged dove season also comes in this month, and runs Nov. 12-27. Shooting hours for migratory birds are one- half hour before sunrise to sunset. The bag, limits are eightfor snipe and 12 for doves, which includes no more than four white-winged doves. You must get a no-cost migratory bird permit if you plan to hunt snipe, doves or any other migratory game birds. All it takes is filling out a short questionnaire when you purchase your hunting license. For up-to-date information on Florida's public dove fields, call the Dove Hotline at (850) 875-BIRD. The hotline gets updated every Thursday throughout the dove sea- son. Information includes dove densities, previous week's harvests and field conditions.

The harvest is running a bit later this year, "and it's a good thing as growers have found themselves with new require- mients. Deadlines approach and there is much to be done. New to the grower's list is a requirement that growers obtain a Compliance Agreement Number from the Citrus Canker Eradication 'Program, which must accompany every load of fruit to the processing plant. SIf the number is not displayed on the ticket, the load will be turned away from the processing plant. Growers who have completed the 2005 compliance agreement need only,-call their local CCEP office to obtain the number. Growers who have not completed their compliance agreement this year should visit their local CCEP office, located at 3397 U.S. 27 'S. in Avon Park, or call (863) 314- 5900 to obtain the proper forms. The forms can also be obtained from the .Florida Department of Agriculture's Web site: http://www.doacs.sta- .te.fl.us/pi/canker/complianceagree.html. t Citrus Canker Business Plans are required to be submitted along with 'the'Compliance Agreement. The business plan forms can also be found at the above Web site, under the designation of Schedule 27. The business plan is simply the grower's accounting of how his grove operation will ?decontaminate and follow similar state regulations. Page two of the busi- ^ness plan should be submitted with the compliance agreement, the rest of 'the document is to be held in the grower's business files and produced if required by state regulators. It should be noted grove caretakers with customers who are absentee owners or who do not participate in the grove operation can use their com- 'pliance number for the harvesting purpose. The grove owner or someone within the grove operation is required to -have been trained in decontamination procedures. This person should also be the person designated on the business plan and the person within the operation responsible for proper decontamination. Additional decontamination training will be provided in Wauchula, or you can schedule individual training sessions through Steve Futch, regional citrus agent, (863) 956-1151, or through the Hardee County Extension Office, 773-2164. The Federal Tree Insurance Program deadline is Nov. 20. Growers can choose from basic coverage, known as "cat" or catastrophic, or they can choose to buy a higher coverage level, known as "buy up." Basic coverage is a minimal expense. All growers should have at least "cat" level insur- ance. Growers without this insurance will be charged a five percent penal- ty if they contract citrus canker and do not have a minimum of the basic or "cat" level insurance coverage. Certification is required from the Citrus Canker Eradication Program stating the grove is canker free. Inspection is required in a 60-day period if your grove is in a quarantined county. Historically, this certification process has not been a problem. However, due to a shortage of personnel, growers may find they are unable to receive an inspection. We suggest growers communicate with the local CCEP personnel. If you feel there will be a delay and you will be uninsured, contact the PRVCGA at 773-2644 for additional instruction. Also, there is a 30-day waiting period before insur- ance goes into force. Hardee accounts of damage from Hurricane Wilma have been favor- able. Little damage or fruit loss has been reported in Hardee County. However, it is anticipated a citrus hurricane disaster loss program could be forthcoming, similar to what we saw last year with hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne. If you feel you have sustained a crop loss above 15 percent, please contact our office so we can properly advise you of infor- mation as it develops. You will also want to register immediately with your local Farm Service Agency. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Florida Ag Statistics Service began its survey to determine how much Florida's citrus crop will be reduced from damage sustained through Hurricane Wilma. It is anticipated the estimate will be complete and will be reflected in the Dec. 9 crop esti- mate update. These are changing and fast-moving times for the Florida citrus indus- try. New information is available daily regarding government-mandated requirements, the Citrus Canker Eradication Program, Citrus Greening and other important topics. We attempt to keep everyone informed with the help of The Herald-Advocate staff. PRVCGA is sending out new information daily..

ETERNITY Today I am going to have my picture taken at Wauchula State Bank with my wife. We haven't had our picture taken together professionally 7. since our wedding, so we are excited to have' this opportunity. While thinking about this picture, I came to realize something. A pic- ture is a moment frozen in time. At least, you could think of it that way. It is one moment, a split second, oftime commemorated for the lifetime of the picture (or at least until you lose the picture). I think that this is how life is compared to eternity. Our lives on this earth, whether they be long or short, are pictures compared to the length of Eternity. . IAs Peter says in 2 Peter 3:8, "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand yeats as one day." Our lives are such short amounts of time compared to the unending nature of eternity. If we think that life is taking a long time now, we are really going to think so when this life is over and we find ourselves experiencing eternity. So let me drive this home. Right now, life may be good. You enjoy-its pleasures and opportunities. You enjoy life so much, you tend to put the I Bible, God and the hope of Heaven toward the back of your mind. That is like enjoying a picture, a frozen moment in lime. ,j Our short lives don't. matter in comparison to the immensity of eterni- ty. Our focus should be not on how good today is, but on what is coming after this life. Yo, Right now, life may be bad. Things go wrong and it's not worth living. You hate life so much that you wish there was a way out. The concept of I, eternity compared to our short earthly lives should be comforting, knowing that if you will just apply the principles of the Bible and obey them, life will be like a bad picture. The picture didn't turn out too well, but' overall things are right. Our focus should not be on how bad today is, but on what is com- ing after this life. According to how we live and our' obedience, we are going to experi- ence Heaven or Hell for all of eternity. This means that even though our life' is short, our eternity will last and I'm not exaggerating forever! So let's start putting our focus where it needs to be. Let's stop looking "' at the picture of life, and concentrate on the reality of eternity. If you do this, you can really start living. I'm Telling the Truth! b J.

Robarts Family Funeral Home S Wauchula I Florid [ roip]Update] SOUTHERN GROWERS WELCOME DRIER WEATHER Scattered showers brought an inch or more of rain to some western and, central Panhandle-localities and'ome southern apd central Peninsula areas during the week of Oct. 31-Nov. 6. However, only traces of rain were recorded in some localities and other areas reported no rainfall. Fort Pierce reported over two inches of rain. : Temperatures for the week averaged one degree above to two degrees below normal in the major cities. Daytime highs were in the 70s and 80s. Nighttime lows were in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s, with Tallahassee recor- ing at least one low in the 30s. Field Crops Areps in the northern Peninsula are at risk for potential wild fires due to the lack of precipitation. Peanut yields are lower than anticipated earlier this season in the Panhandle and the northern Peninsula. Peanut harvesting slowed due to cool temperatures prolonging drying time in Suwannee County. Rains in Washington County softened soils which allowed growers to finish digging peanuts. Peanuts were 98 percent harvested by Nov. 6, versus 96 percent by this date.last year and the five-year average of 97 per- cent. Cotton harvest continued at a rapid pace in the Panhandle and northern Peninsula. In areas of Jackson County, cotton yields have varied from above average to poor. Soybean harvesting has begun in Madison County. Drier weather over the Panhandle and northern Peninsula continued to lower soil moisture supplies with ratings ranging from very short to ade- quate. Wetter conditions over the central and southern Peninsula increased soil moisture in most areas, with supplies rated short to mostly adequate and with pockets of surplus supplies. Vegetables Drier-weather around Immokalee and Homestead helped drain fields saturated by Wilma's rains. However, significant delays in the production of all vegetables are expected for most southern Peninsula areas& The follow- ing crops and areas suffered 'heavy damages and losses: okra, sweet corn, snap beans and tomatoes in Miami-Dade County; most bean fields south of Lake Okeechobee; almost all sweet corn around Lake Okeechobee; and peppers, watermelons and tomatoes in the Immokalee area. Producers in areas affected by Wilma continued salvaging older plants and replanting lost acreage, with some activity hindered by a lack' of labor. Very light amounts of sweet corn, snap beans, watermelons, cucumbers, peppers, squash and eggplant were available from othercentral and north- ern areas, with modest amounts of tomatoes harvested around Quincy and in other central Peninsula production regions. Livestock In the Panhandle and northern areas, pasture condition is very poor to good; the low condition is due to drought. Planting of cool season forage started at locations that received rain at mid-week, but was on hold at other locations due to lack of moisture for germination. Cattle condition is fair to excellent in the Panhandle and northern areas. Livestock are being fed supplemental hay as winter forage is in poor condition. In the central areas, range and cattle conditions are mostly good. In the southwest, the range is in poor to good condition with many locations having flooded pasture. Statewide, cattle condition is mostly good. Fruit Citrus: A cool front on Tuesday brought temperatures to the low 60s on the east coast and the mid 50s on the west coast and northern part of the state. The front also brought rain to the entire citrus belt, the most in Fort Pierce at over two and a half inches. Canals are still full from Hurricane Wilma and water is a problem in some of the southern counties. Grove owners are assessing damage to trees and buildings. Many barns had roofs completely torn off. Fruit minimum maturity standards were adjusted to allow growers to salvage as much fruit as they can to be used for processing. Groves as far north as Indian River County were affected by the winds, especially those with grapefruit. Varieties packed for fresh use included Hamlin, Ambersweet and Navel oranges, Fallglo and Sunburst tangerines, and col- ored and white grapefruit. Several processing plants opened 'to receive eliminations and salvage fruit. Actions can say more than words, but without words actions can be meaningless. By JIM KELLY Of The Herald-Advocate State Sen. J.D. Alexander and State Rep. Baxter Troutman on Friday heard funding requests from county and city governmental rep-, resentatives, plus schools and the local community college. Hardee County Manager Lex Albritton said the county is "recov- ering well" from last year's hurri- canes and that state funding pro- jects should concentrate on water and sewer projects. Albritton said there is an 11-mile development corridor and enter- prise zone along U.S. 17 from Zolfo Springs to Bowling Green. He said about five miles of it is covered by wastewater service and four miles by water, service. Albritton said the goal is to have the entire length served by sewer and water service and that collabo- ration of county and city govern- ments will be needed. He also said the county, in addi- tion to sewer and water project funding, would like the state to continue to help with the plan for the Cattlemen's Arena to become a multi-use facility, replace eight wooden bridges with concrete bridges on a five-year plan and add storage space at the county court- house. New firehouses are needed in needed in Zolfo Springs and Bowling Green, said Albritton. The two old fire stations were ruined by the hurricanes, and FEMA (Federal Emer-gency Management Agency) are now being used to house fire and EMS services in those cities. "The county has received about $10 million in funding from the hurricanes, and we may get an added $1.5 to $2 million." Sen. Alexander said he had noticed a lot of progress made in Hardee County since the hurri- canes. Hardee Superintendent of Schools Dennis Jones asked for continued state funding for the Heartland Educational Consortium for professional education and developing high quality school administrators, plus sparcity fund- ing for small school districts like Hardee. Jones asked that $7.3 million in additional costs for the new Hardee K-8 school in Wauchula Hills be approved by the 2006 Legislature. He said the special facility funding has enabled Hardee to build its first new school in 25 years. "Small school districts cannot build new schools without help," he said. Jones said there will be a poten- tial 31,000 teacher shortage for next year in Florida. "Hardee has hired 88 new teachers in the past two years," said Jones, who noted higher salaries and incentives to stay should be considered along with increased college admissions for potential teachers. He also said housing availability and costs are a problem for some teachers, but Sen. Alexander said- building new classrooms is a state priority over housing. Jones said Hardee County has about 150 more students than a year ago. He said educational impact, fees on new homes are needed. The class size reduction has been costly and should be for kindergarten through third grade only. "There is no evidence that smaller classroom sizes helps stu- SYMPHONY SOUNDS dent achievement beyond the third or fourth grade. "Hardee County has no extra classrooms and no classrooms for new teachers to be hired. Hardee County cannot offer voluntary pre- kindergarten countywide. The requirement of 300 hours for sum- mer pre-K is too high," said Jones. Alexander said there is strong support for the Heartland Educational Consortium. Sparcity funding will be discussed but is likely to remain for small counties, he said. "Teacher retention and recruit- ment is a key issue. The state is los- ing a lot of two- and three-year teachers. I don't see impact fees going away. Some 30 to 40 percent of kids need help catching up," said Alexander, who added in the last 10 years state revenues have increased an average of 5.2 percent while costs have gone up 5.7 per- cent and medicaid costs 10 percent. "There is a finite amount of money." Wauchula City Manager Rick Giroux said there is a big need for infrastructure such as sewer and water. He said the city is planning a COuRTESY PHOTO The Florida Orchestra will open the new 2005-06 Artist Series at South Florida Community College on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. with a variety of overtures.

November 10, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 5A Letter To The Editor I Trust And Find That In Trusting, I Can Trust Dear Editor, I trust and find that in trusting, I can trust. Not only a profound thought but a revolutionary one, which suffers in a society built upon lies. How do we truly trust when all we have been taught is to know that the only truth in life is that we'are surrounded by lies? Little sayings lead the way from early childhood schooling us in what not to trust or believe in: don't believe everything you hear or see. But what are we supposed to trust in this' world of lies: our parents, family, ancestors, heritage, beliefs, or religion? All of these things have been tainted with the poison of lies' 4t some point or another. t Maybe truth is based solely on perception of reality. Maybe there is no truth. So, what exactly are we Supposed .to trust in: each other, faith, or history? Or perhaps, altered perceptions of different realities forever being proven -twrong? How about this: The world is exactly as it should be. Everything must come to pass. But those are beliefs under the umbrel- .la of what we should be trusting in. What can we trust? I know that there is good and evil in all parts of Wfe, that there is a beginning and an pnd to everything. Or is there? We have historic written notes ascribed in prophetic books with ultimate labels created by men and women who have searched for more. Can we really trust their findings? Can we really believe what they have to say? There are so many question- able variables that could come into play. So many of our -greatest heroic ancestors and most influential inventors and artists were under some sort of influence or another ranging from religion to drugs to alcohol to mind illnesses. But what did they have in common: a differ- ent perception of reality. A percep- tion 'we could relate to, but not trust. Earlier I said that I trust and find that in trusting, I can trust. I was referring to trusting God. He is the creator and the way. Many people are scared off instantly with the .label God. So, we can rephrase it to the almighty one, the ultimate man- of science, a force greater than the universe, whatever you want to call it. I, however, am completely com- fortable with using God as my label. I want to admit to you that I have fear. I have been taught from an early age to fear trusting in people, animals, the world around me and religion. Make The Winning Score!

There are so many different percep- tions in every facet of our life and we are supposed to figure what we truly trust in. Is it love? Is love real- ly unconditional? We are taught humans can't meet those expecta- tions. So, how would we ever live up to such a request by God? You got it. We have to trust him and believe in Him and know that only; with Him can we love uncondition- ally. * Despite being constantly taught from early age to seek out the lies, we crave the ability to find some- one or something to trust in. And when we can't find those elements' to fulfill our lives we feel the utmost betrayal. We have been lied to once again. But don't forget we have our radars geared to zone in on any untrustworthy person or belief or perception at any given point, in time. We are constantly looking for what we can't trust all the time, instead of seeking what we can trust in. In this, we are fighting our own needs. It is in our lowest moments that we finally seek something to trust in because all of our radars are down from the drain on our sys- tems of coping with our dismay. We don't have the energy to put toward tearing an idea, belief,-perception or person apart. We aren't looking for the holes in those things that prove it's a lie. We. have suffered some of the greatest losses and are so desperate for an answer or even just some comfort in knowing that it had to happen for a reason. But you only find answers in trusting in something. You only feel comforted when you trust someone. at a specific moment in time. It is when we have nothing that we find we have everything because in that moment of time we are most vul- nerable and we finally do trust. , I trust and find that in trusting, I can trust. I have fallen so much and had so much disbelief and pain because I couldn't bring myself to trust anything or anyone. Every part of life had to have some hidden motive. No event was without its flaws or deceit. I felt alone and betrayed and lied to. In those hor- rific moments, I had nowhere else to turn, but one place. The only place I knew to turn to was to look up and there I found God. Yes, I said God. I finally found myself, shields down and defenses completely immobilized trusting something I couldn't even see. But when I finally trusted Him to take care of me and trusted His plan for me, I realized that 'there is something I could trust. I found comfort-aid peace in that trust:. Many Christians will most definite- ly testify to the fact that you have to trust God for Him to reveal himself to you and he will. One of the easi- est tests for this is tithing. I had to trust Him completely despite all of the evidence that might support other alternatives in my own reality. It is my belief that we are all trusting the same creator and labeling. Him differently to fit our lifestyles and comfort zones. But whatever you want to call Him, each and every one of you needs to realize that without truly trusting Him completely, you will never be fulfilled like you crave to be. We must believe so much in Him that we trust Him completely. And in that, we will find convic- tions as we search for the truth. But realize that the truth is so close to our very own souls because in trusting and accepting God, you have invited Him into your soul. Do not doubt yourself or your belief. Doubts will only tear away the trust you have found. With this I leave you one truth I have personally tested from the Bible, "Trust and know that I am the Lord." God bless you all, Mary Maxwell Zolfo Springs ................................- .4..... THURSDAY, NOV. 10 VHardee County School Board, regular meeting, media center, Hardee Junior High School, 200 S.

The Dodge and Chrysler divisions each provided vehicles for parents and friends to examine and test drive. Dodge vehicles included a Charger, Durango and Ram 1500 Quad Cab Daytona. Chrysler vehicles included a Town & Country, Pacifica and Crossfire. Each division donated $50 to the school to cover expenses in hosting the event, and then an additional $5 for each demonstration drive completed. Volunteers from the dealership were on hand to assist and answer questions. In the end, North Wauchula Elementary collected a check for $575 from the Dodge division and a check for $550 from the Chrysler divi- sion. "Drive for the Kids is a great program. We're interested in helping the schools, and every- one has a good time," said Kevin Hanchey, sales manager for the dealership. "Parents are inter- ested in testing the versatility of these vehicles, and we are able to provide additional dollars to the school at no cost to the community."

DEMONSTRATION DONATION November 10, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 11A LifeLinks ... By Carolyn Hendry Wyatt Extension Agent A WORRY-FREE TURKEY Thanksgiving ,.. the word means much more this year than usual, does- n't it? If there were a time to be thar.-ul in America, it is now, when life and !liberty are more precious than ever. :T year, especially, we know there's :more to Thanksgiving than turkey. Bu. the power of a warm, wonderful, .comforting meal shared and savored around the table with loved ones is not to be underestimated in this time of uncertainty. In this light, I wish you and your family a truly blessed Thanksgiving with moist flavorful turkey, 'delicious side dishes, and a bright circle of people surrounding you, brim- 7'ming with hope and strength. I have included in this month's column some frequently asked ques- .tions consumers raise concerning turkey. : Q: I'm having a group of 10 people over on Thanksgiving. What size turkey should I buy? How much time should I allow for roasting? A: The rule of thifib-when buying a turkey for a crowd is to allow one pound per person. But if you wish to have leftovers, you'll want a larger bird. Consider, then, a 15-pound turkey. You'll keep your crowd happy and full, and you'll have enough left for those all-important turkey sandwiches the next day.' . -Allow roasting time of 10 to 12 minutes per pound if the bird is unstuffed. Food safety guidelines recommend roasting the stuffing separate from the bird. Q: Should I buy a fresh or frozen turkey? A: This depends on personal preference. Some people like the conve- nience of buying a frozen turkey; .if they have sufficient freezer space, they can buy it in advance. If you buy a frozen turkey, make sure your freezer is set to 0 degrees F to keep it rock solid. On the other hand, if you buy a fresh turkey, do so no more than two days in advance. To store it, make sure your refrigerator is set at 40 degrees F or cooler, and pack the refrigerator loosely so that cool air can circulate. Put the turkey on a plate, in case its juices drip. Of course, if you're using this plate for the cooked turkey as well, wash it first with soap and hot water. Q: How should I safely thaw a frozen turkey? A: Defrost a turkey in the refrigerator, not on the counter. A small turkey may take two to threeidays, while a large turkey may take up to four or five days. If ypu need it to thaw more quickly, you may immerse the turkey in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes, or you may use a microwave, following the manufacturer's instructions. Always cook defrosted poultry immediately. Q: What's the best way to carve a turkey? A: First, let the turkey sit after it comes out of the oven, so you'll be able to cut it neatly. A 20-minute rest is sufficient for a 15-pound turkey. For larger birds, allow at least two minutes longer for each pound. The best way to begin carving the bird is to lift the skin at the neck, breast-up, and use a small knife to scrape away the meat around the wishbone. Pull the wish- bone to remove it. No, you can carve the breast in neat slices, either verti- cal or horizontal, depending on whether you want them large or small. Next, use a knife to remove the legs you can keep the bird in place with a large fork. Transfer each whole leg (which may include a small part of the back) to a carving board and cut apart the thigh and the drumstick at the joint. You can cut the meat off the thigh and the drumsticks if desired. Next, the wings: Pry the joint away with a fork, then .cut through the joint once it shows. Q: How long can my roasted turkey sit out after I serve it? A: Your turkey should not sit out for longer than two hours total, so let it rest, carve it, serve it, and then get it into the refrigerator after the main course. Cooked turkey parts may be stored in the refrigerator for three to four days, However, if they are sitting in broth or gravy, they should be stored only one to two days. I hope these suggestions will help you have a delicious turkey! Happy Thanksgiving!

The Cats built up a 34-14 lead and held off a Colonial charge that 'sought to upset the Wildcat bid for ,a fourth consecutive 10-0 season. When it was necessary, the Cat defense stiffened and cut off the Grenadier passing game, forcing it to an effective rushing attack which, however, used up the clock.

Nineteen seniors went out on the 50-yard line for it, with Jose Salvadore and Jackson Frenot advancing the final few yards to meet four Grenadier cap- tains. Hardee deferred to the second half and the game was on. Pablo Anselmo boomed the kickoff to the Grenadier 2, where Cedric Griffin returned it 30 yards before Andrew Cisneros and Anselmo halted him. On ,the first play from scrim- mage, Colonial coughed up the football. Wildcat Ramon Hernandez was on the spot to recover it. Senior ,tailback Marc Hodges had to pick up the slack most of the evening. On the first of his 26 carries he spun down to the Colonial 23.. A pass to Jermain King netted another eight yards and the.Wildcats' initial first down of the night. A loss of yardage rushing and pair of incomplete passes had Hardee at a 4th and 14. Hodges was stopped on the draw play and ,Orlando started over on its 15-yard line. . Cornerback Chris Cook battled the Orlando receiver all night. This time Cook won and forced 'a 33- yard punt which got Hardee going' at its own 34. A penalty moved that back at dozen yards. Hodges broke loose for a' 19-yard gain, with a face mask penalty gaining another 15. Hardee was at the Grenadier 47. Junior quarterback Weston Palmer rolled out.

Junior Michael Carpenter slanted left and broke through, racing 69 yards ahead of a trio of Grenadiers for the goal line. Anselmo nailed the PAT and the Wildcats led 13-7. Colonial was three and out and Hardee started over on its 44. Palmer mixed up passes and hand- offs to his backs for an eight-play drive. which ended when Hodges went through a huge hole for the final three yards to score. Midway through the second stanza, it was a 20-7 game. Colonial had a long, slow drive, getting to the Wildcat 39 'before stalling. Hardee took over and kept moving until time ran out with the Cats still leading 20-7. Soph Terry Redden got Hardee going in the second half by taking the kickoff at the 5-yard line and going through the line and behind blockers for a 55-yard runback. Hodges broke around the right cor- ner for a 21-yard gain. He had another short gain before Carpenter pulled away for a 13-yard TD run. Anselmo made it a 27-7 game.

Today, that money has been turned into a scholarship fund. It began as bringing in pennies for classroom projects such as con- gruent shapes, weights and mea- surements and adding and subtract- ing activities. The pennies just kept adding up. ULllrich Water Conditioning brought in a large five-gallon water bottle for the students to keep their pennies in. Pennies were brought in from anywhere from the family car console to closets. Several people. from across the county learned of the children's efforts and made contributions.

A.nd do not get drink with wine, ]or that is debauchery; but ever be.filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit. -Eph. 5:17-18 Sometimes we are double-minded about what the will of God is for us, and it causes us to be confused. Confusion is not from God. In James I, it talks about being double-minded. If we are double mind- ed we should not expect anything from God, and we sure won't know what direction to go in. First, we need to grasp what the Word says about a certain situation and firmly stand on itNxt.,yepFed to makq right choices.so.we w.n't be'(opl.-. ish in our decisions. One of the foolish choices we can make is getting drunk with wine (beer or whatever). We can't make.good decisions, so it can cause a lot of problems in our lives and in the lives of everyone around us. The Word tells us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit rep- resents Jesus, and is in us. He is within us to speak what God has to say and to help us ,to be wise and make right choices, besides, being our comforter, teachet4atid so'much more,. (Read John 14 for more.) A Golden Nugget would be to do what, His Word says so .your life will flow more.smoothly.' -,. ' Elementary all helped out with sacks and jars of pennies. For the past 12 years, the Hardee County Education Foundation has tried to hold a fundraiser for chil- dren. It raises money and then puts it away in an investment so that when the children graduate, those that meet simple criteria are award- ed some of it as. a scholarship. To be eligible f9r that scholar- ship, students must graduate from Hardee Senior High School, have been enrolled in the Hardee County educational system for eight of their 13 years and they must be going on to higher education. This does not just limit them to college, as vocational and technical schools are also acceptable. A similar plan will be used for this class project. To go along with the money that the children raised, the Donnel Knight Memorial Fund also gener- ated $555 for the Hardee County Education Foundation. The two combined amounts total $877.55. This money will be placed in Wauchula State Bank on a certifi- cate of deposit that will earn inter- est over the children's school careers. Driskell's students include: Christian Arroyo, Aaron Brown, Oscar Duarte, Katlyn Forrester, Artemio Galicia, Tier'ney Graham, Lisandro Gutierrez, Triston Jones. Glen Kelley, George Lackey, Alexis Lopez, Santos Lopez, Vanessa Miranda, Sophia Moreno, Anita Reyes, Kyra Rivera, Jazmine Rodriguez, Liza Santiago, Aracelis Velasco, Jordanne Williams and Makayla Williams. Any of them will be able to win this scholarship upon their gradua- tion. ' ~ *' ? r', First United Methodist Church Corer of 6th Chicken, ' Ham, Veg, readd.

When they were kids, he'd take her down to the Avenue for hoagies and hot pretzels. When the Italians on the corner made bootlegged wine, Herbie would stomp their grapes for a nick- el and go right out and buy a bag of broken cookies to share with' Ethel. When all the Kays would go to Atlantic City for vacation,"Herbie would buy newspapers and sell them on the beach while everyone else played on the Jersey shore.

The proposed herd size will include approximately 955 lactating cows The facil- ity consists of a concreted milking parlor with associated feeding area, travel lanes, cooling pond paddocks, and open pas- tures. The facility is also designed to partially collect manure Irom the pot herd, crippled herd and springers, as well as all the manure from the calves The existing wastewater treatment system was designed based on an average or 29,000 gallons per day milking parlor wash. This wastewater flows directly to a large waste storage and solids settling pond (WSP1). Solids will be removed-and placed oh the ponds banks for dewatering. Drainage will be directed back into the pond The solids will be either removed by a.com- mercial solids handling company or used by a third party, for land application at agronomic rates Effluent from WSP1 over- flows into a smaller waste storage pond (WSP2), and then flows into a 1,850-feet long subsurface irrigation distribution ditch that is 10 to 20 feet wide 6-feet deep from the top of the berm. The ponds and distribution ditch of the waste management sys- tem are designed to contain a 24-hour 25-year storm. For rainfall events exceeding this volume, excess wastewater will be released as sheet flow across grassed pastures that will provide additional treatments prior to discharge otf-site. Roof run-off is not diverted away from the waste collection system. This facility also has eight (8) cooling ponds that are designated as High Intensity Areas (HIA's).

MNers then passed to Kevin Elliott for a touchdown. With a kick. Colonial had cut Hardee's lead to just six points, 34-28. A line drive kickoff was taken by Frenot and brought up to the Hardee 46. but three plays later Hardee was forced to punt. Will Krause boomed a 32-varder which put Colonial back at its 20. In turn. Colonial went three and out. Hardee kept possession for over four minutes before Colonial took over on dow ns As the partisan Wildcat crowd screamed "DEFENSE." Hardee rose to the occasion, stopping both the run and pass. At the 2-minute mark. Hardee got the ball back on downs. Youyoute got the first down on the fake to Hodges and reerse. Hodges made the next first down and Hardee %was able to take a delay of game and illegal procedure penalties before taking a knee to end the game. The Wildcats won 34-28. "When we can run the ball. we can control the clock. Special teams did well. The run sets up the pass. They did some things. like the no- huddle offense, and we countered." said Wildcat Head Coach Derren Brvan.

Also com- ing up from the JV squad when their season recently ended were Marwin Simmons, David Newcombe. Frank Gross. Gerardo Villegas. Cody Rawls. Jose Garcia, Tyler Bumby, Joe Barton. Jorge Lopez. Pete Solis and Tim Selph. The Hardee defense "was uncharacteristically undisciplined. Colonial was frustrated and we were frustrated, trying to do too much. instead of staying with our positions. There were a lot of shared tackles," said Defensive Coordinator John Sharp, who chose Garrett Randall for Player of the Week. Randall had a half dozen tackles and two passes batted down. There were no interceptions or sacks. "It wasn't our best effort," said Sharp, who nevertheless noted 6 to 10 tackles apiece for Redden, Johnny Ray Harris, Bobby Bandy, Frenot, Cook. Pierre Lazarre. Wiggins and Hernandez who also had the fumble recovery. Defensive leader Jose Salvadore had 13 tack- les. "'There was a little letdown after that emotional Arcadia game. The difference between winning and losing is what you do when things don't go your way. It didn't go our way tonight, but we've learned not to quit, not to throw in the towel. It's pretty hard to get 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds to be ready to go every week. They are 10-0 for the fourth year, that's pretty special," concluded Bryan. Heading into, and hopefully, through the line is Mark Hodges (4). A swarming Colonial defense corrals Michael Carpenter (27) after a short gain.

November 10, 2005 Riding For The brand In the world todad, filled with chaos and disarray, we need to be riding for the brand and learning to pray. In the Old West everyone knew the importance of a brand. It was the mark that a rancher used to burn on his stock out on the open land. The term "riding for the brand" was an expression of loyalty to a man's employer. it was considered a compliment of the.highest order. Christians should be riding the Two-One-Two brand, in order to stand tall across the land. The Two-One-Two brand is very direct and to the point. It signifies two nail scars in his hands, one scar in his side, and two more scars in his feet. And this was done so that you and me He could anoint. Kiding for the brand is of the highest calling, for it signifies the name of the Lord Who's love is unfailing. When Christians begin to understand the privilege and responsibility of wearing the Lords brand, theu will give it nothing less than their best and spread it across the land; 50 the next time you face a situation that tempts you to compromise, take a stand for the brand and fight 5atan and his lies. VI5 not eas and it's not'alwaLs fun, but ending for the brand is what we owe .God's only 5on, S Mark A.Mitchell bowling "reen PUBLISH YOUR ORIGINAL POETRY!

Citrus Losses Mount Florida Citrus Mutual released preliminary figures Monday repre- senting an estimated statewide cit- rus crop loss,, impact due to Hurricane Wilma. Estimates show that the storm reduced the overall citrus harvest for the upcoming sea- son by 17 percent of the total crop. approximately 35.7 million boxes of fruit. This will result in nearly $180 million in crop loss based on price expectations following the 'Oct. 12 U.S. Department of Agri- culture crop estimate. This figure is for fruit only and does not represent tree loss and re- plantin'g-^e'sis -or-damage costs associated with barns. equipment, processing and packing facilities. which will increase the overall eco- nomic loss the industry will face. In addition, given experience from the, 2004 hurricanes, growers expect more fruit to fall within the next few weeks, further adding to the overall fruit loss. "This is a very preliminary figure that could increase as additional damage is discovered and industry losses are calculated," said Andy LaVigne, Florida Citrus Mutual's executive vice president/CEO. For. oranges, estimates show a preliminary loss of 24.4 million boxes, which represents 13 percent of the state's orange crop. For grapefruit, estimates show a prelim- inary loss of 11.3 million boxes, which represents 47 percent. of the state's grapefruit crop. Ninety-six percent of the Florida orange crop is processed into orange juice. Florida citrus growers supply 80 percent of the U.S. orange juice supply and 38 percent of the world orange juice supply. Florida is typically the world leader in grapefruit production., -Florida Citrus Mutuil, foundedin 1948, is the state's largest citrus grower organization with more than 10.000 members. The Florida citrus industry provides a $9.1 billion annual economic impact to the state, employs nearly 90,000 people and covers approximately 750,000 acres.

Wells "Facts For Immigrants," 877. Introduction The author of this little treatise, in offering it to the public, is not moved y a spirit of speculation, nor is he desirous of merely gaining fame as a writer, but, knowing that facts are greatly desired by those entering this fair and, he has attempted to give in plain language a truthful description of the ive principal counties of South Florida, viz., Hernando, Hillsborough, polk, Manatee and Monroe four of the five bordering on the coast. Palmettos The surface of the country is for the most part level and covered with he dwarf or saw palmetto. The palmetto is a growth whose roots grow above the surface of the earth three or four inches, running horizontally,, thus making a very rough road for vehicles. Elevated Portions Other portions are more elevated than these palmetto flats (it may be proper here to state that these flats are not very miry) and pleasant. Numerous prairie ponds and marshes intersperse the whole country and are considered to be excellent ranges for stock, while the more elevated portions are adapted for farming and fruit raising. Soil The soil comprises several varieties. There are three qualities of ham- ilock the white sandy, low black and the shell hammock all very fer- tile. Sand hammocks are very productive in corn, sugarcane, cotton, etc. The low black hammock yields any crop bountifully, especially sugar cane and rice. Shell hammock lies near the Gulf coast and is generally selected for fruit raising it also is profitable, under fair culture, to the farmer and gar- dener. There is also a great quantity of swamp land capable of producing abun- dantly, both in rice and sugar cane. Trees The common growth of the hammock and swamp land, in its natural state, consists of cypress, cedar, live oak, water oak, sweet gum, black gum, red bay, elm, dog wood, iron wood, maple, cabbage palmetto and many shrubs and vines too numerous to mention. The pine lands are generally productive, affording a good yield of corn, cotton, sweet and Irish potatoes, peas, rice and, after being used as a cow pen, will largely repay in a bountiful crop of sugar and syrup. Horticulture South Florida is justly noted foi its superior advantages in horticulture. Vegetables of all kinds have been raised here successfully. Every month in the year the garden supplies something nice for the table. Besides in their season, the rich, juicy watermelon .and cantaloupe come in to relieve us of he summer heat. The expense of gardening and melon culture is less in this section than any other part of the country. Transportation The sea coast and rivers are generally selected for this purpose as the sound of the railroad whistle has never disturbed the solitude of the wood- lands of South Florida.1 We, of necessity, depend entirely on water trans- portation. But please do not understand me to say that this state of affairs will always exist. On the contrary, we are hopeful that in a short time the alli- gator and wild deer will be saluted with a snort from the iron horse.. Railroads are all that we want to make South Florida the garden spot of the earth. Climate The climate of South Florida cannot be surpassed by any in the world; it is neither too warm in summer nor too cold in winter rarely being on Seher extreme summer and winter both being mild and pleasant. f Many a w inter passes without frost enough to kill \egeiation.

As a general thing, April and May are very dry; sometimes, c.bps are injured very much by the drought in these two months.

Hess Hardee County Health Department WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS Secondhand smoke consists of exhaled smoke from smokers and side- s eam smoke from the burning end of a cigarette, cigar or pipe. Secondhand smoke contains more than 4.000 substances. including q er 40 compounds that are known carcinogens. Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke absorb nicotine and other compounds just as smokers d.. The greater the exposure to secondhand smoke, the greater the level of tlese harmful compounds in your body. According to the American Cancer Society, each year secondhand srioke is responsible for an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 deaths from heart disease in people who are not current smokers; about 3,000 lung cancer deaths in nonsmoking adults; other respiratory problems in nonsmokers, including coughing, phlegm, chest discomfort and reduced lung function; ard 150,000 to 300,000 lower-respiratory tract infections (such as pneu- monia and bronchitis) in children younger than 18 months of age, which r ult in 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations. There are actions you can take to help protect yourself and others from th dangers of secondhand smoke: | You can choose not to smoke in your home or car, and don't allow oth- e to do so. Choose not to smoke in the presence of children, who are par- ! tidularly susceptible to the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. Do not al ow babysitters, caregivers or others who work in your home to smoke in yciir house or near your children. Talk to your children's teachers and day- care providers about keeping the places your children spend time smoke- * free. The state of Florida is also doing its part to keep you safe from the dan- g's of secondhand smoke. The Florida Clean Indoor Air Act, enacted in 1 86 by the Legislature, was to protect people from the hazards of second- ha d tobacco smoke. On July 1, 2003, the new smoking prohibition be ame effective. The Department of Business arid Professional Regulation will check cc npliance with the law in those facilities it licenses (i.e., restaurants, s nd-alone bars, billiards, bowling centers and civic/fraternal organiza- tk ns). The Department of Health has enforcement in all other enclosed in oor workplaces. Enforcement of the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act is complaint driven. T ,e public can file complaints regarding noncompliance with the law through any of the following avenues: *E-mail to: Donna_Arnold@d6h.state.fl.us" or Sonja Bradwell- @|oh.state.fl.us. *Call to: 1 (800) 337-3742 toll-free. S*Mail to: 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C23, Tallahassee, FL 32399- 1 7 t3 "' .' " SFax to: (850) 414-7497 The public can also request a copy of Chapter 386, F.S., the Florida CI an Indoor Air Act, the FCIAA brochure, and information on the health ef scts from exposure to secondhand smoke. S The Hardee County Health Department has also purchased no-smok- ing signs in both English and Spanish to be placed in area businesses. A limited number are available and will be on a first coine-first served basis. To request your signs, please contact me at 773-4161 or via e-mail at Er nHess@doh.state.fl.us. not as wet as others. About every fourth year is a very wet year, and then the lower portions of this country are very disagreeable, especially to those not accustomed to slopping about in mud and water. Health South Florida is also noted for its'excellent health; seldom is any sick- ness known, except a little chill and fever, and in some sections even not that. Fevers of a malignant type are scarcely known. It is true yellow jack visits our seaports when a due quarantine is neglected, but if a rigid is paid to the landing of passengers from infected ports (as was done in 1876), we escape. Physicians find little encouragement here if their professions are their dependence; notwithstanding, sometimes they are very much needed.'It is, doubtless, the best climate for invalids in the United States, and, besides a man can live cheaper here than any other place. ' As a general thing, the same clothing that is required for winter will answer for summer, In many years, December and January are as pleasant as May. Some seasons have a few cool days and probably some frost. At other times, we do not have frost enough in two above named months to kill veg- etation. We very often have green peas and beans during December and January. Cattle and Oranges The old settlers of this country, up to a few years past, did not turn their attention to farming and fruit growing. If the had done so, South Florida would have been almost an entire orange grove. Cattle have been on the brain for many years past, but now the range is failing fast, and they must wood Et Start- Florida Avenue Right turn on to Stenstrom Right turn on to Hanchey Right turn on to Main Street Right turn on to 9t Ave. Right turn on to Orange Street FINISH LINE- YMCA Parking Lot dy Revll Rd iMOr Stmsbrom Rd resort to other means for support. A great many have taken the orange fever, and it seems to spread daily, and, without doubt, fruit growing in this country will pay remarkably well at a time not far distant. In fact, it is paying well now for those who own bearing groves. Cultivation of Oranges The cultivation of the orange required experience and care. Many peo- ple prefer the seedlings, though a number insist that grafting on a sour stock is best because it pays sooner.' The young trees are removed from the nurseries to the grove when from" two to four years old. Three years is considered the proper age for trans- planting. From four to six years after transplanting are required to bring them into bearing the time depending upon the manner of cultivation. The trees thrive on almost any kind of soil here. Land of Flowers The balmy breezes blow over the land, We fear not the chilling wind. The joyous birds, so free, so warm, Do cheer us with their lively songs. This is a land of fruits and flowers, Of vines, and shrubs, and fragrant bowers; Where the whippoorwill sings in summer eve; And the bright stars shine in the twinkling scene. Oh, the Land of Flowers! where the wild deer roam. Hear the wild sound of the hunter's shrill horn. Until lost in the far distant woods, Where the lone owl hoots at the rising moon. This pleasant land of beautiful scenes, Of stately oaks and gigantic pine trees, Of babbling brooks and glittering streams That flow along to the tropical seas.

Garland celebrated 104 years of life. Garland was born in North Carolina in 1901. He has two children: a son, J.P. Garland of Arcadia, and a daughter, Reno Lee Hopkins of Kentucky. According to J.P., his father was a cattle rancher all of his life. They moved to Florida in 1940 and continued ranching. His mother died at the age of 62 and his father never remarried. "He would take me hunting and camping," recalls his son. "His great- est love was horses. Dad was also known to have the first Jersey cow in his ranch." As far as education, his son reports Garland went to the eighth grade. "That's riot bad. Back then that's considered good, to go as far as the eighth grade," explains his son. "I've worked with my dad mostly all my life. We had 160 acres with cattle and horses, so I learned the ranching business from my dad." Being 104 means Garland has seen things we can only dream of. "Oh, yeah," exclaims his son. "My dad told me stories like when he remembered seeing the first car. He lived at a time of no electricity. He had no phone. Land cost anywhere from $15 to $35 an acre. He worked raising~apples and potatoes and taking them to houses to sell them." Garland loved horses so much he even told his son he wished every- thing would go back to horses like the old days. Garland has six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and two great- great-grandchildren COURTESY PHOTO James Garland turned 104 last month.

Gutierrez Best In Heartland By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate Hardee's Jose Gutierrez is the fastest runner in Heartland cross country. The Wildcat junior "had the most significant improvement in our dis- trict," said coach Don Trew in his summary of the Class 2A Region 3 cross country championships host- ed by Estero at Lake Park in Fort Myers last weekend. On a slow course, with three runs through 200 yards of sugar sand, Gutierrez outdistanced Sebring senior opponent Matt Guthrie, who came in ahead of him by five sec- onds in the district meet. This time, Gutierrez covered the slow course in 18:13 for'19th place, while Guthrie finished 24rd at 18:35. Gutierrez, in his first year of competitive running, lowered his gap from the top runner. At dis- tricts, he was 2:12 behind Jesuit senior James Osborne; at regionals, it was 1:35, cutting 47 seconds off his best time of the season. Osborne won the district and regional meets, but his freshman teammate may be the runner to beat in the future. Connor Revard was still 30 seconds behind his team- mate. Other Jesuit runners finished fourth, fifth and 12th to claim the team title. Gutierrez will continue to run .other races in preparation for next season. Trew feels he has "a good shot at going to state next year. The question is, will anybody else be going with him?" Freshman Juan Rodriguez was the only other runner in ,the boys district meet. He ran his best time of the season to finish in 28:03. Justin Hines and Lee Cortez have had some good outings this season. For the Hardee girls, Liz Miller, Maricela Galvan, Cynthia Briseno, Christina Badillo, Blanca Ruiz and Nancy Ramirez as well as JVs Lucy Ruiz, Laura Galva, Oralia Aguirre and Britni Gamble are expected to return. 10 HOURS A MONTH!

COMMUNITY CALENDAR DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT 5 PM. -Ralph Waldo Emerson __ --Sprint Clerk's Office Offerings By B. Hugh Bradley Hardee County Clerk Of Courts ALERT! JURY DUTY SCAM COULD LEAD TO IDENTITY THEFT Has anyone called recently indicating that you missed jury duty? Warning! If this has occurred, it could be a scam. Clever thieves continue to deceive innocent victims with intentions of stealing an individual's identity, and the jury duty scam is one the latest. Other states are reporting that a person claiming to be a Clerk's Office employee is calling innocent people telling them that a jury summons in their name-has gone unanswered, and that an arrest warrant has been issued. The caller then suggests he can \erify the arrest warrant if the unsuspecting person will pro\ ide some personal identifying information, such as Social Security number, birth date or credit card number. . Much of this information can easily be used to commit identity, theft. While we ha. e no e\ idence that this scam has reached Hardee County, if you ever experience this type call, hang up and call my office immediate- ly. The Clerk's Office does not call summoned jurors. Please do not give out your personal information to anyone you don't know. It is only natural that a person may be inclined to give out personal information under the threat of an arrest. but in reality, court officials will never request personal information over the phone. This scam has been reported :in many states, and many. more innocent ,victims could be at risk if theN are not made aware of this potential threat. If you have any quesnons or comments about this column, forward them to B. Hugh Bradley, Clerk of the Court, P.O. Drawer 1749, Wauchuld, FL 33$73.

Men's League Tightens - By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate The 2005 Men's Community. Softball League took a hit in the last two weeks. The teams have suffered from Hurricane Wilma effects, missing all games on Oct. 24 and causing Sparky's to forfeit or postpone games because most of their play- ers have gone to help hurricane vic- tims to the south. Without counting the Sparky's games, standings at the end of last week showed no undefeated teams. Mid-Florida Federal Credit Union lost to Peace River Electric Cooperative Inc. (PRECo) and dropped from the ranks of the undefeated. In fact,The Regulators took over the lead of Division II with a 9-1 record (.900), while Mid-Florida was, at 7-1 (.875). Trailing in Division II are Mosaic, Merrill Lynch and Sparky's. In Division I, Nicholson's Supply Co. has the top spot with an 8-2 (.800) record, while The Krew is at 7-2 (.778) and PRECo next at 8-3 (.727). Trailing them are Hardee Corrections, Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union and Florida Fence Post. After the weather postponement on Oct. 24, play partially resumed on Oct. 27. As usual, there was only one game on Field 2, where The Regulators ran over Merrill Lynch 28-0. Austin Helms homered twice for .the Regulators", with Ron- Yeager and Todd Rogers socking- solo shots.

Others were older, raising families and engaged in established occupations. But, they all had something in common, these brave men and women. They put a halt to their lives as they knew them, left familiarity behind, and traveled to foreign shores. They risked their lives to serve our country and protect our freedom. Each time we cast our ballot...every week as we worship freely...whenever we express a political opinion without fear of reprisal, let us remember the months and years sacrificed by our veterans as they defended the rights which we enjoy today. This Veteran's Day, may we honor the selfless men and women who have paid with a portion of their lives that ours might be free. Copyright 2005, Keister-Williams Newspaper Services, P. 0.

Like grownups, some.kids are raid of cer- tain things and some of other -ine kid may be terrified of beetle bugs while anoth- er may collect them. One may be petrified of.heights while another will climb the tallest tree and swing like a squirrel mon- key. You just don't know what's going to set some kids off, so I'd like to think that what happened to me one summer morning was done out of ignorance rather than mean- ness. As a child, I got picked on for a babyish 'fear of the dark. I struggled to overcome it. One summer day while playing hide and' seek with the neighborhood kids, I decided to try a little self-induced immersionI thera- py. I swallowed the lump in my throat and hid in the shed in the back yard. To this day I can't tell you what was in that shed. I generally stayed out of it. To me, it was a windowless airless tomb that, stank of rotted lumber, gasoline and mouse, droppings. To me, the battered,wooden door to the shed was the yawning gate of. The Black Hole. I wanted no part of it. 'But, being a kid and understanding kids,, I knew my peers would never expect me to hide there. So, it was too difficult to resist. I'd like to say that no one saw me dash Pg Fro "i inside the shed, and that I wasn't "found" and ultimately came out the winner of that particular game. But we all suspect that's not the way it worked out, don't we? It wasn't. It probably took me a full minute to work up the courage to cross the threshold. Once I did, I stood immediately inside the open door, close enough to the light to be able to breathe, yet far enough in the shad- ows to feel adequately hidden. What I didn't expect was for the door to suddenly slam shut, throwing the shed into a heavy dank darkness that so thoroughly sucked the air from my lungs that I couldn't muster a squeak, let alone a scream. Every hair on my head stood at full attention and gooseflesh broke out soheavi- ly across my skin that it was literally painful. Thin strips of light from the minute cracks in the walls streaked the dirt floor, illuminating the tiny motes of dust that' floated in the still air of the shed like dan- delion,down. Once I broke through the, paralysis that accompanies sheer terror, I threw my body, against the door frame ... all 70 pounds or so. The door not only didn't budge, but I was rewarded with a shower of dirt, dust and the remnants of abandoned dirt-dauber nests The sounds from outside were distress- ingly normal: the pounding of running feet, shouts of "I got you! You're it!" arid ran- : dom squeals as hiders were discovered and frantic races ensued. mTheuPast .1 I stood there, foreign objects trickling into the neckband of my T-shirt, and tried to make my voice cooperate. It was then, my mouth working but nothing coming out, that I noticed the sound that was coming from the inside. Once I began to pay attention to it, the. tiny clicking sound became more audible. There was a rustling along with the clicking and, despite my fear, I was intrigued. The sound didn't feel threatening, but I made the conscious decision to identify it just in, case. Following the sound I ventured 4 few more steps into the shed, one hand out behind me as though to maintain some type of contact with the only escape route. I.did- n't have to go far before the clicking and rustling was joined by an incessant low 'humming. Squinting, I allowed my eyes to travel up the wall until the ceiling came into view, and there, .in the comer where the wall met the ceiling, I found the stuff that nightmares are made of. The nest of granddaddy longlegs spiders was roughly the size of a beach ball cut in half. They writhed over each other in a November 10, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 7C squirming mass. There had to be thousands or tens of thousands of them. I watched in horror as lone spiders ventured out of the nest and began to crawl down the walls toward the shadowy floor. In my mind, they were after me. I had made a lot of noise banging into that door, and they were mad. By now my goose bumps had goose bumps, and I was sucking wind like a vacu- um hose with a bad leak. I eventually got enough air to manage a scream. I feel pret- ty sure it could be heard for three counties. The door opened just as suddenly as it had closed. I staggered out into the bril- liant sunshine, slamming into my brother, who, if I don't miss my guess, was the one who locked me in there to begin with. "Big dumb baby!" he said, predictably, as I found my feet and ran for the house. Years later I learned the granddaddy lon- glegs spider is the biggest joke ever played on the insect world. They're deadly danger- ous, but their mouths are too small to bite anyone! But that knowledge wouldn't have helped me much in that shed. After all, it was still dark.

District 12 winner, the Cats will host the District 11 runner-up Tampa Robinson Knights. Game time is the usual 7:30 p.m., but not much else is the same. There is no. reserved seating, and no advanced ticket sales. All admission is $7, except for anyone with a Florida High School 'Athletic Association pass. There is a Thursday night com- munitywide Wildcat rally. It will officially begin at 6:30 in Wildcat Stadium, but all former players and cheerleaders are asked to be at the north gate at 6 p.m. The concession stand will' be open during the evening of fun. Local businesses and residents, are asked to back the Wildcats as they begin their trek through the 2005 playoffs. The regional quarterfinals begins on Friday with 32 teams, all hoping to get to the state championship game on Friday, Dec. 9. Of the 16 district champions and 16 runner-ups, 14 are in the state poll. Hardee is presently tied for third place with Immokalee. Its last week results were not available at press time, but Immokalee had an 8-1 record before its Nov. 4 game against American Heritage, the Class 2A, District 7 runner-up which carries a 7-1 record. In Class 3A, the top rank goes to Belle Glade Glades Central, with St. Augustine second, ahead of Hardee and Immokalee. Sarasota Booker is fifth, Tallahassee Godby sixth, Kathleen seventh, Cocoa eighth, Raines ninth, Bishop Moore' 10th, Astronaut 11th, Fort Myers Riverdale 12th, Belen Jesuit 14th and Naples 15th. (Jesuit is 13th but - did not make the playoffs.). Hardee is in Region 6, along with districts 9,'10 and 11. A win on Friday evening will put the Cats into a Nov. 18 game against the winner of the. Kathleen-Astronaut game. If Kathleen wins, it will be held in Lakeland. If Astronaut wins, it %would be in Wauchula. But, first things first. The Wildcats have to concentrate on taking on a. talented Tampa Robinson team. Although Robin- son is :6-4 overall, it had three games with only a three-point dif-. ference. The Knights lost to the Booker Tornadoes 19-17 in the final seconds, with Booker taking the. 3A-11 title. There was a three- point loss 24-21 to Tampa Middleton and a three-point win 35-32 over Palmetto. Other losses have come to Tampa-Jefferson (41- 27) and last week to Plant City 45- 34. Other wins have come over Tampa King (61-7), Tampa Bay Tech (51-13), Leto (54-0) Blake (33-6) and Jesuit (42-3). Overall, Robinson has scored 375 points against 190 for oppo- nents. The Knights feature Hillsborough County record-hold- ing senior quarterback Marcello Trigg, who has 83 career TD pass- es to his credit. His favorite target is six-foot classmate Darrell, Stevens, who caught all, three TD passes last week. He 'also had a 90- yard punt return TD against Jesuit. . Another senior, Javier Arenas scored four touchdowns against Jesuit in addition to a 95-yard kick- off return. Running backs Jermaine Doster and Chris Deese alternate to keep the heat off the passing game. Hardee has its own brand of heroes..The Cats have outscored 11 opponents 299-58, including the pre-season shutout of Lake Region: There have also been shutouts against Cape Coral Mariner and District 10 runner-up Haines City, as well as a hard-fought 16-12 win over DeSoto two weeks ago. Hardee has a cadie of running backs led by senior Marc Hodges, but classmate Brad Gilliard, junior Michael Carpenter and sophs Jimmy Cimeus and Jayquan Gandy are ready to step in. Hodges leads' all Heartland rushers with 893 yards and six TDs on 168 car- ries, despite sitting out some games due to injury. The Hardee defense has often carried the day, with sacks and interceptions stopping often prolif- ic teams who have been successful elsewhere. "It will take the best game to win.' Robinson lost to Plant City in the battle of South Tampa rivals. They'll be ready to pla) us. They have super athletes and will be our biggest challenge. We have to have a great week of practice and play our assignments. "They will come in hungry, with something to prove. But, we're excited to be in the playoffs. There's a lot of teams that aren't. It will take a lot of effort for us to win," concluded Wildcat Head' Coqch Derren Bryan. Freda's Foibles By Freda B. Douglas Now is that time of year, above all others, that people feel the urge and need to do something for somebody other than their own families. Sometimes, but not necessarily all the time, it is because doing something for somebody can be written off tax-wise as a charitable contribution. I would rather think it is done out of the kindness of heart. Regardless of your reasons, I am going to give you a couple of sug- gestions. I know you are bombarded by requests from all kinds of people for charitable contributions, especially at this time of year, but I've checked these two out personally so I can suggest them with a clear conscience. I know these particular contributions are actually being used to help specific people. I further know they are going to Americans who are the backbone of our great country. Just because they are down on their luck doesn't make them less American. There but by the grace of God go 1. Do you knit or crochet? You might consider joining a group of Knit Wits. These women have knitted and crocheted over 300,000 sweaters for kids since the idea was suggested by a "Guideposts" reader 10 years ago. Patterns can be obtained from the Web site www.guidepostsmag.org or by. writing to Guideposts, 39 Seminary Hill Road, Carmel, NY 10512 or by calling 1(800) 431-2344. By the way, you don't have to be a member of a club. Sweaters from individuals are gratefully accepted. Keep a child warm this winter. The Farmers Almanac says it's going to be a colder than usual winter.. There is a charity called Jo Ann Cayce Charities, P.O. Box 38, Thornton, Ark. 71766. I get their newsletter, and I would like to quote the first paragraph just to give you an idea what they do for the poor in their area and for storm victims. We have had over 2,000 folks around here and they all need things like food, diapers, clothes and shoes. Of course, they are here with nothing and need everything. We have put thousands of pounds of clothes etcetera at the gym and let them (the storm victims) and 'other poor people get clothes and shoes. Many are deciding to try and get jobs and stay here." She goes on to say, "We have been collecting toys all year but now we need things like underwear, briefs for boys, socks, panties, pajamas, knit caps, gloves as well as coloring books, games, cars, trucks and baby dolls." Can you help? Will you help? Help someone. You'll get that warm, . fuzzy feeling you always get when you help somebody, never asking for anything in return.. Remember, God blesses the giver, and God loves all His creatures. HARDEE COUNTY KIDS NEED HARDEE COUNTY HELP! Ease a dependent child's way through the court system.

Soccer Girls Get Slow Start By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate The Hardee girls soccer team got ;a lot'of experience without scoring in the first game of the season last week. " Hardee played good defense against a disciplined Frostproof team as the ball stayed on the Lady Cat half of the field the majority of the time. The Lad) Cats \%ere shut out 8-0. "Most of our girls just started practice late due to not being cleared to play. Considering our lack of experience, the girls played pretty tough on defense. We knew going into the game that we would have to play. strong defense." said head coach Robert Beatty. Starting at forward were seniors Jennifer Hand and Karissa Manchester and junior Cynthia Briseno. Midfielders were jmuniors Christina Badillo and Ramona Campos, soph Luisa Gonzales and freshman Barbie Hinojosa. Fullbacks were senior Roxana Torres and juniors Ashley Islas and Mandy Cornelius. Sophomore Sarai deLoera was goalie anid had five saves. During the rain and drizzle which made the game even more difficult. "Most of the girls haven't had time to develop strong ball skills, so we really struggled controlling the ball and bringing it downfield. Only on three or four occasions were we able to dri'e the ball deeply into Frostproof territorN. but never got an opportunity to get a shot on goal. '"Karissa (Manchester) got most of her action on the defensive end of, the ball. She made some great plays on defense, disrupting Frostproof in the goal area. Our other defenders and defensive mid- fielders did a good job disrupting a lot of Frostproof's offense, but we didn't get the ball downfield or control it enough, to keep them from scoring," said Beatty. With the rest of the week off, "'our goal is to develop better ball control, passing and open-field dribbling. 'A lot of conditioning is' also in store." concluded Beatty.

The Cats completed a fourth perfect, undefeated season with their 34-28 win Friday against Class 6A Orlando Colonial's potent running and passing game. "It's tough to go 10-0" said Lakeland nationally ranked coach Bill Castle, who has a 60-plus win streak." Hardee coach Derren Bryan can echo that as his squad got its 42nd win Friday. That game could be a tune-up for the Cats as they enter the playoffs at home this Friday at 7:30 against a heralded Tampa Robinson team with a quarterback who has set Hillsborough County passing records but can also go to the ground game: Hardee has its own set of achievements to counter the Knights. All Orange-And-Blue fans are urged to attend the communitywide rally tonight (Thursday) at 6:30 to show their support for the Cats. Former Wildcat players and cheerleaders are asked to come early (6 p.m.) and enter by the. north gate. Hardee junior varsity football disposed of Sebring 33-8 in its final game of the season two weeks ago, and the junior high Cats followed suit with a 40-14 win at Sebring in the rescheduled season finale on Nov. 1. Congratulations to both teams. Speaking of football, it's great to get a bit of news from six former Hardee High students, now at nearby Webber International University which is tanked in the NAIA top 15. Cheerleader Lonnie Larimer and players Dane and Cale Rasmussen, Ruben Rivas, Gilvert Olvera and Travis Tubbs are doing well for the Warriors. On the Youth Football level, we now have pictures of the PeeWee, Mighty Mite and Midget teams and cheerleaders. Wewould appreciate it if someone from each team and cheerleading squad would stop by and ensure we have proper identification of the boys and girls before we print them next week. We need the information by Friday afternoon to do this. Please help us do a good job. In cross country, congratulations to Jose Gutierrez for his fine performance at district and regional competition. In his first year in the sport, he bettered his own time and beat all Heartland runners in the regional meet, coming in 19th and missing a trip to state. Swimming is delayed to allow some other teams to complete their dis- trict/regional competition, rescheduled because of Hurricane Wilma dam- ages at schools in the southern part of the states. Hopefully, our boys who qualified for state won't get weary practicing. 'Soccer started last week. The girls team played in the rain at Frostproof, a difficult team to oppose to start the season. The girls were shut out but will get more experienced and competitive as the season progresses. Both the girls and boys played at Sebring Tuesday night in a double-header and head to Braden River today (Thursday) for another double-header. Girls hoops started this week in a tip-off tourney at Sebring Tuesday evening and tonight. The girls are home for a visit from Frostproof next Tuesday and go to Sebring on Thursday. Boys basketball will start slow as players are expected out from the football field whenever that sport ends. The boys don't start until after the Thanksgiving break. They are at Braden River on Nov. 29. Men's Community League is winding down its softball season, expect- ing to finish up the season next week and have an all-day post-season tour- nament on Saturday, Nov. 19.

This is always the month conference championships are won. It is also the month with Thanksgiving weekend rivalries to fatten up the biggest of college football eaters. The SEC Title could be going to Gainesville! The ACC Title will go to Miami or FSU! USF has a shot at the Big East Title! UCF could win CUSA's Title in its inaugural season! Click on your seatbelt and L enjoy the ride. It will be a worth the trip this glorious month in college foot- ball. It's also that time in the season when Virginia Tech historically gets exposed for the fraud they are in college football. In 2003, the Hokies went to West Virginia ranked number three and went home spanked 28-7. This year, Miami has exposed them again. Hats off to the Canes who, I admit I didn't have faith in to pull off the great game in Blacksburg. Larry Coker stated he had a way to stop the over-hyped Marcus Vick. He did. ESPN's Golden Boy, who can do no wrong in the eyes of the Game Day Crew, was intercepted twice and fumbled the ball away four times while taking four sacks. Now, that's old style Miami football. Congrats Hurricanes and my humble apology Larry Coker for picking Va. Tech last week. Tommy Tuberville caused some ripples recently when he stated ESPN unfairly manipulates the Top 25 with their agenda for supporting certain teams. He was proven correct in a way this weekend. Boston College has been hyped all season by ESPN and ACC coaches voting the Eagles into the Top 10 at one point. Their wins over BYU, Ball State,Wake Forest and Letter To The Editor Thrown-Away Dog Needs I A Home So He Can Live Army made them worthy? Please, show us some more "Doug Flutie Hail Mary Pass" clips to convince us. BC lost to North Carolina 16-14. The same UNC who lost to Louisville 69-14. Nuff said You were correct Tommy,_ now go beat Georgia and help the Gators out. Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare: 1.West Virginia at Cincinnati Mountaineers will shine on Wednesday Night Football for the second straight week. The offense has been averaging 45 ppg over the past two games. Pat White will continue this trend, leading his team to its third st-aight Big East Title. West Virginia 45 Cincinnati 13. 2. Florida at South Carolina Oh MY! Spurrier is in a position to ruin the SEC title hopes of his old school. Of course, this depends on Auburn beating Georgia along with a Gator victory .That's exactly what I'm pre- dicting for this weekend. Gators clinch the SEC East! Florida 34 South Carolina 17. 3. Memphis at Tennessee Vols at 3-5 need to win out for a bowl game. Can DeAngelo Williams run through the Vols defense and insure a losing season for Fulmer? Can Vanderbilt come in and win at Knoxville? Could UK upset the Vols in Lexington? Whatever happens, it has been a long season in Big Orange Country. Tennessee 24 Memphis 21. 4. Kentucky at Vanderbilt Vandy still has a shot at a bowl game. The Commodores played a great game in the Swamp. They deserve a reward at season's end. Vanderbilt 38 UK 24. 5. Auburn at Georgia Even if Shockley returns, he will be rusty. Auburn is on a roll. Auburn 33 Georgia 27. 6. LSU at Alabama many have predicted this will be the Tide's first loss. Not me. If they lose, it will be to Auburn not LSU at home. Alabama 20 LSU 17. 7. UCF at UAB Golden Knights are going to a bowl game. Great rebound year after an 0-11 in 2004. UCF 34 UAB 24. 8. FSU at Clemson Here we go with the "Bowden Bowl" hype all week on ESPN. Since their darlings in Blacksburg have been exposed, guess that's all they have to hype? The Noles are not what they once were but still will meet Miami for the ACC Title in 2005. This "Bowden Bowl" will be a close win for Pappa Bowden over his son. FSU 24 Clemson 23. 9. Southern Cal at California This game once had the trappings of an upset. Not anymore as USC and Texas jockey for position in the National Championship Game. USC 56 Cal 20. 10. East Carolina at Tulsa Golden Hurricanes need a big win for it's bowl position. The young but talented Tulsa team will do just that. Tulsa 33 ECU 21. 11. Kansas at Texas Longhorns are running roughshod over the rest of the opponents to make a point to USC. Texas will continue the annihila- .tion of the Big 12. Vince Young for Heisman? Texas 59 Kansas 10. 12. Rutgers at Louisville Scarlet Knights become bowl eligible then turn it over 6 times to USF and lose. Will it ever change at Rutgers? Louisville 56 Rutgers 21. 13. USF at Syracuse Bulls will go to a bowl this year. They could even go to the BCS Game for the Big East The rescheduled game on Dec. 3 with West Virginia could be the Big East Title game. That's amazing but consider the Bulls have only lost to Penn State and Miami along with a head scratching loss to Pitt. USF 33 Syracuse 13. 14. Connecticut at Pitt UConn is banged up. They need two wins out of games with Pitt, USF and Louisville for a bowl game.They are due to break the three-game losing streak they have endured. UConn 31 Pitt 24. 15. Miami at Wake Forest Canes have been under the radar with unimpressive wins until last week. Now, the ACC Title and BCS Game is theirs for the taking. Miami 49, Wake Forest 16. 16. Baltimore at Jacksonville Leftwich and Tayor lead Jags win. Jax 27 Bait. 17. 17. Washington at Tampa Bucs need an upset win. Tampa 27 Skins 24. 18. Jets at Carolina Panthers claw em up.

Dear Editor, I I've wanted to address this issue i for several years and now seems like the perfect time. Currently, I i have six dogs, four of which were 3 throwaway pets. I'm sick and tired Sof the irresponsibility of some pet R owners. I need some help, and I'm hoping by writing this letter some kind soul with an opening in their home will open their heart and take this latest dumped dog. Thursday, I was driving home from work taking the backroads home. On CR 664, the first little a bridge out of Bowling Green, I spotted this dog. He was standing in the middle of the bridge and from the way he looked at my t truck, with that hopeful look, I knew he was hoping I was his owner coming back for him. ;Dumped dogs always have, that hopeful look. I crossed the bridge and pulled over, -got out of my truck. He :looked at me like "You aren't my owner" and ran about 40 feet back. No amount of coaxing would get .him into my truck. I felt bad, butI had to finally leave himi behind. I looked in my rear view mirror, and -'he was following me, running along behind my truck, but lib final- ly gave up and I went do home, feeling very guilty. It's not in my -nature to leave an animal like that, *with no food, out in the cold. Friday, I passed the same spot on 'my way home from work. I didn't see him at first. Then I spotted him, curled up in the grass, next to some discarded beer cases. I pulled over. 'He barely lifted his head. I got out of my truck, and he jumped up and ran backwards. I had some leftover Burger Kihg salad from my lunch. It was all- I had in the way of fdod, and I put it out for him. Dogs don't normally enjoy salad, but he wolfed it down. -" Still I couldn't coax him in my truck. SI got in my truck and drove off; tc again he started running behind me. s I just could not leave him there, so Ai I slowed down and he followed me - the entire five or six miles back to C my home,, me at a crawlhwith my j flashers on, him running down the . road behind me. ; 'One sweet woman who was out- .i in her fenced front yard with her . Rottweiler offered me some treats andfood for the dog in hopes thati R could coax him into my vehicle.' , Ms. Abernathy, you are my angel! I -6 couldn't get the dog in my truck, so 9 we continued on our way. It took 45 ,, minutes to an hour to get home. Once home, I got this dog a bowl.. , of food and some water. After hav-. ing his first full meal in days, this ai shy little creature, walked the 10- -'i feet over to me where I was squat- " ted, licked my arm and leaned up' "' against me, gratitude in his eyes. He let me pet him and love on him; 'a little. Now, I don't know what kind of a monster would dump a dog like this by the side of the road with no food and no shelter. What does a person like that think is going to: v become-of a dog in those circum-". l | stances? Let me speak to that per- ,, son now. This dog was your -a responsibility. When you first got. this cute little ball of fur, did you .i not realize it was going to grow up; tq to be a dog? By dumping it on the : "' side of the road, ,you put your! Y' responsibility on somebody else. 'it . I cannot afford any more dogs. So now, I am faced with the respon- sibility of making a decision. I can either take it to the pound, where it will most likely be euthanized, because there are too many dogs there already. I can ask somebody to come over and shoot it. I can take it to the vet's office and have it humanely euthanized. Or Ictan load it in the truck and go dump it some- where else myself. These are my options. Hideous options, as far as I am concerned and options I should not even be having to consider because this dog was 'not my responsibility, it was your responsi- bility. And now, let me speak to the rest of the Hardee County readers. I don't know if there is one person out there who might be 'willing to give this-dog a chance. I know he deserves it, because he survived being dumped, survived two days of being by the side of the road' without food or shelter and he ran probably six miles following me home. His feet are sore, he's skin- ny, he's matted and he's a mess. But _ if there is any kind soul, one kind- soul out there, who has an opening in their home, in their yard for this Little guy, then please contact me. He's part Chow-Chow, and maybe Australian Shepherd or some sort of Collie type. He stands -about knee high. He's young, maybe a year or a year and a half old and he's very shy. Though I Shave zero funds right now, I'll cash - in the change in my change bucket and scrape enough to pay to have him neutered and groomed. He's -got one floppy ear, broken or if he, was born that way, I don't know. : Somehow, in this letter,. I'd like to address the abandoned dog issue in this county. It's a big problem. These poor animals cannot speak for themselves so I am going to speak for them. Spay and neuter your pets. There are too many unwanted dogs in this county. The shelter is overloaded. Pet rescues are overloaded. People like me, who just have a kind heart and a soft spot for dogs, are overloaded. Think before you go: out and get yourself a puppy. Realize that you will be responsible for this dog until it dies; this is most likely a 7 to 15 year commitment on your part. Having a pet is not cheap. Aside from food and water, it will need a dog house, shots, worming, heartworm preventitive and who knows what else ininedical care for many, many years to come. If you have a dog and cannot- keep it, then do the right thing.- Take it down and pay the bucks and. have it humanely euthanized if you cannot re-home it. Hold its head in your hands and talk to it as it pass- es.1from this world to the next, give it a kind, gentle send off. Don't dump it on the side of the road to suffer hunger, pain and the terror of wondering what is hap- pening to' it. Dogs just love; they don't understand what you are doing to them. A dog will stay there 'waiting for you to come back for days and days. Well I guess I have, said my; piece. If anyone can help this little fellow out, please contact me at 863/781-2619.

Limestone Baptist began Nov. 28, 1915, with 16 men and women under the leadership of the Rev. Sidney Albritton, pastor. With pride, those planning the special event say "Time and weath- er has changed the Limestone area, but not Limestone Baptist, as it is still very active in this small com- munity. Tough times never last, but tough people do! Perhaps you sent a lovely card, Or sat quietly in ,a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, If so we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, As any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all,. Just thought of us that day.

Lewis Joyce Tilyou will celebrate her 100th birthday Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the First United Methodist Church. She and her husband, the late Ivon Tilyou, resided in Wauchula for over 55 years: He was manager of Peace River Electric Cooper- ative, then known as REA. moved to Zolfo Springs in February 1904 and found "there was neither Sunday school nor preaching in Zolfo Springs." According to the church's history, he was "so dis- tressed over his grandchildren being raised up without the sur- rounding of God's people, that after much prayer, he organized a Sunday school in his home." Later, he "began to see the need of a church building to worship God in and began to pray for His help. Many people tried to discourage him and said it would be impossible to build a church, as it had been tried before and failed. Mr. Lewis would not give up, so he began to . beg for money, lumber, a lot-or any- Friends are invited to join the centenarian in the celebration held at the church located .at 207 N. Seventh Ave., Wauchula. For those unable to attend yet interested in sending her, birthday greetings, her current address is 3055 Cedar St., Lake Wales 33898. S-> thing that could be used." Thanks to his, efforts and the assistance of many, the. church was organized in the fall of 1904 with the following members: Brother C.M. Entzminger (minister), Brother J.H. Brantley and Brother J.B. Williams (deacons), Mrs. C.M. Entzminger, Mrs. M. Lewis, Mrs. J.B. Williams Sr., Mrs. Tom Brown, Mrs. C.M.' Crews, Mrs. Frank Smith, Mrs. C. Russell, Miss Gabe Whitten, Miss Ethel McEwin and Mr. Lewis. The first "church house" was located on Fifth Street between Magnolia and' the railroad. The building was, shared with the Methodists because they had no building. In 1951, the next church building was constructed and faced Fourth Street. TJis building burned in March of 1970, and the present church was built in 1971. On Aug. 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley played havoc with the church's sanctuary\ and according to the current music director, Hal Jones, "we began from the floor up - new pews, lights, pulpit furni- ture, ceiling and roof and, of course, the new steeple. Our fellowship hall, Sunday school rooms and library were spared." The congregation held services in the fellowship hall until the begin- ning of 2005 when the renovation was completed. Pete Hughes. church treasurer and chairman of the deacons, says that now over 15 months after Hurricane Charley and over 100 years after its founding, members of Zolfo's First Baptist is ready for its big celebration. Current church historians Betty (Mrs. Hal) Jones and Patsy (Mrs. Pete) Hughes have compiled the church's 'written history.

But, oh, that God might be glorified! Oh, to love and praise God more, to please Him forever!" The "more and more" of knowing Christ is the great need of the church today. Being saved is wonderful, but it is only the beginning. A wedding is wonderful, but there is more to marriage than a wedding. There is a lifetime of a husband and wife getting to know each other. Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns. It staggers the mind! How could he come up with 6,000 fresh insights into .the character of God? Because God is so wonderful, we can never come to the end of discovering the treasures of His loving character. Because Wesley had tasted, he was seized by an insatiable appetite for more, Augustine prayed, "Too narrow is the house of my soul for You to enter in. Let it be enlarged by You." Let us all have our hearts stretched so that our capacity to love God is increased. Nothing enables us to love God more tomorrow than obeying Him today. Growing in the knowledge and love of God does not happen auto- matically. It results from, thousands of personal choices in which- we put God and the vwellbe'ig of others ahead of ourselves. Each choice like this speaks more eloquent\ of pur desire to love Pod than the most fervent prayers. Gbd takes note. and' He Himself will enable us to know Him more intimately. This is my vision for myself as I head down the home stretch to love Him more and more and to serve His people. I want to discover more of His character as Charles Wesley did. I want to hunger and thirst to please Him as David Brainerd did. 1 Is this too lofty, too spiritual, too impractical for this day and age? No, Jesus commanded it. "Love .the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength." He said this was the first and greatest commandment and that the second was like the first: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
