County Struggles



To Control Growth


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
How should Hardee County
grow?
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. Once we've
vacated some buildings (by the
move of some students to the new

Two, George Neel and Minnie
McKenzie, voted to reject Aker's
action. 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

responding to that demand.

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.

placing Tindell on suspension on
Sept. 9. Tindell was fired one week
later, on Sept. 16.
Fritz said Aker had complained

Tindell's resume could not.be con-

ment with Hardee County. He said

Tindell had been employed in the

take the town clerk's position in
Zolfo Springs.

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

Most of the damage at Hardee County Courthouse Annex II occurred about 15 months ago when Hurricane Charley raced through
the county. Storm damage repairs and upgrades are finally being done at Annex II on the northwest corner of Oak Street and U.
S. 17 South. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) funds are paying for the huge project, which includes new doors,
replacement canopies and replacing/fixing all exterior walls to prevent further water intrusion. Lavon Cobb Construction workers

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.

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

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

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.

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

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'

The Squeezin's 4
By Barbara Carlton
Peace River Valley Citrus Growers Association


GROWERS' TO-DO LISTS FULL
As the beginning of the citrus harvest season approaches, the "to-do
'list" for growers grows longer. 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.. We encourage our
grower members to register their e-mail addresses with the association.
This is the only form of communication we can fully utilize in today's fast
pace.

Telling The Truth ...

" .Preacher .


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!

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

has been costly and should be for

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

"We also have to expand our

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.

Yes, even religionihas taught me
to not trust religion" completely.
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

English Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep of Wauchula's "Drive for the Kids" program recently netted over
$1,000 for North Wauchula Elementary School. 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." Pictured are English's Kevin Smith and school principal
Sona Bennett. ,

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!

Cats (

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats outlasted a
no-quit Class 6A Orlando Colonial
team for a 34-28 win Friday night.
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.
After pre-game Senior Night and

Counter Colonial Attack,


Veterans recognition, the Cats
won the coin toss. 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. As he \%as hit, he
winged a pass to classmate Lisnell
Youyoute who went all the \\a\ for
the. score. An Anselmo kick <%as
just an inch wide. Hardee led 6-0 a
little past the midway. point in the
first quarter.
Colonial got a 31-yard runback
by Griffin and %\as off on a 16-pla\
drive which ended %%ith senior
Marcus Myers going over from the


1-yard line on his third try. With
14.6 seconds left in the first period,
Colonial had its only lead of the
game 7-6.
It took just four plays for Hardee
to regain the lead. 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.
Myers and running back Colson
Marsh had some success on the
ground. In nine ground plays, they'
went downfield. Jermaine Jones


went the final 17-yards. A Jared
Travis kick cut the Cat lead to 27-
14.
Redden ran the ensuing kickoff
back 19 yards. Hodges got four
yards, then cut through the line and
down the right sideline for 52 yards
before being pushed out of bounds
at the Grenadier 20. A pass went to.
King, Hodges gained a dozen
yards. Then Carpenter bulled into


Win 34-28


the end zone dragging a Grenadier
defender who had a hold on his leg.
With the PAT kick, Hardee led 34-
14.
Midway through the third quarter
Colonial wasn't ready to quit.
Starting from its 29, the Grenadiers
marched and passed downfield, a
28-yard reception by J6nes getting
them to the Hardee 10. It took five
tries, but Marsh crossed the goal


line with 17.8 seconds left in the
third period. With a conversion
kick, it was a 34-21 game.'
Hardee went three-and-out as the
final period got under way. After an
incomplete pass, Myers kept the
ball and went 69 yards before
Jackson Mosley and Redden could
catch him at the Wildcat four.
Myers kept the ball for an apparent

Pennies Add Up For 1st Graders


By BRETT JARNAGIN
For The Herald-Advocate
.,Despite last year's countywvide
school ban on fund raising, Dian
Driskell's first grade class at
Bowling Green Elementary collect-
ed $322.55 in May. 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.

Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and fool-
ish, but understanding and firnnly grasping what the
will of the Lord is. 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.

Herbie Kay: 'A Wall Street Journal


Cowboy Hero In An El Camino'


Herbie grew up along the railroad
tracks in a row house in southwest
Philly along with his sister Ethel.
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.
When the war broke out, Herbie
joined the Army-Air Corps Tn the
Army, Herbie repaired airplanes
and then learned to test fly them
Later when theN needed flight
instructors, he volunteered because
he xas good with his hands and

The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its intent to issue a permit for Nickerson Brothers, LLC, to dis-
charge'to waters of the state process and non-process wastewater and stormwater from the Zolfo Spring Dairy. This dairy facil-
ity is an existing pasture-based operation that will maintain approximately 1,260 cattle on an annual average basis. The dairy
site encompasses approximately 400 acres. 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). The manure deposited in these areas is contained within the area and runoff is directed to their asso-
ciated cooling pond. The ponds and distribution ditch of the waste management system are designed to contain a 24-hour 25-
year storm. The facility is located at latitude 270 02' 13.71" N, longitude 81' 49' 52 18" W on 3206 Steve Roberts Special. Zolfo

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

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.

History: Facts For Immigrants...


edited by Spessard Stone from George W. 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. The ther-
nfpmeter ranges, as a general thing, from 36 to 96 degrees.
: Seasons
Now, I will say a little more in.regard to the seasons that is, the wet
ahd the dry. As a general thing, April and May are very dry; sometimes,
c.bps are injured very much by the drought in these two months.
About the first of June the rains begin and then, perhaps, it will be very
T t for two or three months and, sometimes, four months. Some years are




To Your Health!

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:

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

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.

Manor Memories

Hardee Manor Healthcare Center


RESIDENT CELEBRATES 104TH BIRTHDAY
Imagine being 104 years old!
On Oct. 4, James E. 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

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.

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

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

Some were
young and had never
left the security of
home. 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.

By C.J. MOUSER
For The Herald-Advocate
Kids do mean things to each other.
I like to think that sometimes the crtel
things they do are done out of i ignorance.
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

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.

Hardee Opens


Playoffs At Home


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcat eleven open
the 2005 Class 3A playoff chase at
home Friday night.
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.

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 girls joined the Wildcats:in a

,By Joan Seaman


It's playoff time!
The Hardee Wildcats have done it again. 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. The Regulators lead Division TII with
.-'Nicholson's Suppil Co. topping Division I as of last Iweek's games."

Kids, here's a reminder to' continue practicing for the Elks Club Hoop
Shoot, which will be Dec. 3 at the high school gym. It starts at 9 a.m., but
come early to register. There are first- and second-place prizes for girls and
boys in age divisions 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13. For more information, call
Coach'Byron Jarnagin at the high school, 773-3181.

Finally, don't forget Saturday's Veteran's Day 5K fundraiser. Efitrants
can run. walk or rollerblade the route from Florida Avenue to Stenstrom to

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo

Well, Football Fans, it is again a November to remember. 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

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. Carolina 31 Jets 16
19. New England at Miami Pats still too much for the Fish. NE 33
Miami 17.
20. Houston at Indy Colts run wild. Indy 38 Houston 10.


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.

Sincerely,
Lisa Revell-Petro
Bowling Green

Limestone Baptist To Celebrate


90th Anniversary This Sunday


Present and former members of
Limestone Baptist Church are
excited about homecoming services
planned for Nov. 13 at the church
located at 4868 Keystone Ave.
The Southern gospel quartet
"Delivered" of Lake City will be in
concert for the special celebration.
They will begin singing at 10 a.m.,
then Pastor Mike Roberts of Avon
Park will bring the morning mes-
sage.
A dedication in honor of Hartsell
Bishop will then be observed. A
covered dish luncheon will follow
* for all members and guests.
Organizers are anxious to "show
off" and celebrate the completion of
the many hours of repair work fol-
lowing Hurricane Charley. "You
will be amazed how beautiful our
'old' church is!" they say as they


extend an invitation to the commu-
nity.
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.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.

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.

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. The fol-
lowing are tidbits of information
found in this documentation:
-In August 1908, "$1.80 was
taken up to'pay the pastor."
-Also in 1908, "The pastor
asked that a committee of three
ladies be appointed to collect funds
to buy a silver service as they could
have communion' services in the
church. The first communion was
observed on the second Sunday in
April."
-Preaching was only on the sec-
ond Sunday each month in 1909,
and $.L85-was raised for the preach-
er.'s salary. -
-In 1910, the membership wvas
52. The pastor's salary for the year
was $107.85; money to.help the
poor, $44.35; missions association,
$7; state missions, $4; and orphan-
age, $15.11.
-In December 1916, "the Lord
saw fit toremove from our mem-
bership Brother ."
-The year 1923 "ended with the
pastor's salary paid up."
-The church custodian was paid
$1 a month in 1924.
,-On April 19, 1925, "W.C.
Crews made a talk on the proposed
establishing of whipping posts in,
convict camps in Florida. He pro-'
posed w\e draw up resolutions and
send to our senators and representa-
tives that we as a church lo not
approve of this act." Also, "the'
ladies were urged to do all they,
could to' help' stop so much gam-
bling.",,
-On March 20. 1927, the church
voted to use manufactured unleav-,
ened bread for communion.
-In March 1929, a Cradle Roll:
was started in the church, with Mr.'

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson


APPETITE FOR MORE
David Brainerd, a young man who wore out his frail body as a mis-
sionary to the American Indians in the 1700s, wrote in his diary, "The grave
appeared really sweet, and I longed to lodge my weary bones in it. 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."
(Matt. 22:37-39)

"It was the best game they played
all year. The boys did as they were
Coached to do. I'm very proud for
them, pay day finally came," said
HJHS Head Coach Gregg White.
."We finished 3-3 this year. which
is a start. We had three breakdowns
all game long, one resulted in a
touchdown for Sebring. My staff
did a great job," concluded White..
His assistant coaches are Rashad
Fai'son, Hakeem Schweil, Justin
Hays, Myron Refoure and Trampus
Fillingim.
Hardee got the first score of the
game on a 20-yard run by
Kelsheem White, who also ran the
conversion. Hardee led 8-0.
The.next one also came on a run
as Jarrius Lindsey went the final 10
yards over left guard. A fumbled
snap nullified the PAT attempt, but
Hardee led 14-0 midway through
the first period.
A saving tackle by Esayi
Youyoute slowed Sebring's next
drive, but a push- up. the middle
finally put points on the board. A
conversion pass made it a 14-8
game.
Early in the second quarter,
Hardee recovered" a fumble.
Lincoln Saunders got loose for a
30-yard run, then picked up seven
more yards. Quarterback Youyoute
went around right .end for the 20-
yard TD. His conversion pass fell
short. Hardee was up 20-8.
Just. as quickly, Sebring nar-
