Murder Case Moved to Polk County


SBy CYNTHIA KRAHL
SOf The Herald-Advocate
The murder trial of the man
accused in the 2002 disappearance
of a 20-year-old Bowling Green


woman has been moved to Polk
County.
Thomas Jessie Crews Jr., 40, of
4633 SR 66, Zolfo Springs, was
indicted, and arrested on a second-


degree murder charge on July 21,
2004. He is accused of killing
Sondra Barrington, who hasn't
been seen or heard from since Oct.
10, 2002, nor has her body ever


been found.
The Hardee County Grand Jury
indictment alleged Crews took
Barrington's life either on or
around the date she disappeared as


she drove home from her job in
Arcadia. Further, it said the crime
took place in either Polk, Hardee or
DeSoto counties.
The uncertainty of just where the
alleged crime was committed is
what has allowed the defense,
headed by Assistant Public
Defender J. Mel McKinley, to
choose the county in which the
state's case against Crews will be
tried.
Florida Statute 910.03(1) states:
"Criminal prosecutions shall be
tried in the county where the


Crews


offense was committed; but if the
county is not known, the accused
may be charged in two or more
*counties conjunctively, and before
trial the accused may elect the
county in which he will be tried."
Crews has selected Polk County.
A Notice of Election of County
of Venue filed with the Hardee
County Clerk of Courts Office on
Oct. 31 by McKinley reads, in part,
"Without conceding that the afore-
said alleged crime, or any lesser
included' crime thereof, ever, in

'Music In

Friday
By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
The sound of water cascading in
the fountain will be replaced with
an even more musical note as a new
event debuts in downtown
Wauchulatoinorrow evening.
"Music In The Park" will fill the
night each:.third Friday pf every
month at Main Street Heritage
Park, on,thecorner of Seventh and
Main. -It premiers at 7 o'clock.
Admission is free.
Featured will be the First
Christian Praise & Worship Band. -
The show is the latest in new
"traditions" being introduced to the
downtown area by Main Street
Wauchula Inc. It joins\Pumpkins
In The Park, the Farmers Market
and the Tag Sale as the most recent
reasons to head downtown.
And music is expected to be a
big draw.
"Who doesn't love music?" asks
Main Street Executive Director
Megan McKibben. She said the
idea was borrowed from other
downtown throughout the state,
where free outdoor concerts have
flourished.
Music will fill the park and sur-
rounding area from 7 to 9, she said.

The first phase of Oak Street
Park will be done in the late spring.
The park, which will surround
the Senior Center on eighth
Avenue in Wauchila, will include a,
playground, asphalt parking areas,
concrete sidewalks and a champi-
onship tennis court just west of the
present courts which /are used
Almost daily.
It is hoped that the new court,
for which an asphalt base has been
already poured, will be ready for
the start of the high school tennis
season, in February, said City
Manager Rick Giroux Tuesday.
Welch Tennis Courts, which
won the $304,544.75 bid for con-
struction of the' park, began work
recently. The urgency is to use a


$200,000 Florida Recreation
Development Assistance Program
(FRDAP) grant the city received
just before last year's hurricanes.
The deadline to use it has been
extended to May.
Application for .another
$200,000 FRDAP grant is being
sought to add drinking fountains, a
flagpole, swales, additional light
fixtures and other extras. Original
plans for basketball and handball.
courts are on the back burner for a
while.
"I've been impressed with
Welch's progress. They are really
moving along. The new champi-
onship tennis court will have the
state-of-the-art blue surface rather
than green, which has been used
previously;" said Giroux.

As part of the additional fund-
ing for Phase I, the city negotiated
with the Hardee County School
Board, obtaining a waiver of the
city's $33,770 toward the
Recreation Complex swimming
pool renovations and using that
amount to help meet costs of the
championship court which will
allow high school matches to be
hosted on a professional standards
court. "We really appreciate the
School Board's cooperation on
this," commented Giroux.
He also obtained an additional
$35,000 from the Recreation
Council toward the Oak Street pro-
ject. Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) funds of $80,000
are also being used, along with
about $15,100 included in th' capi-
tal projects budget to complete
Phase.
The $305,000 project includes
everything from site clearing and
grubbing, reseeding and irrigation,
concrete walkways, pads and patios
for the Senior Center rear access
for handicapped people, and
asphalt parking, areas and trees. The
children's playground will be nes-
tled in the northeast corner.

any of the three counties alleged in
the indictment, nevertheless, defen-
dant Thomas Jessie Crews Jr. elects
venue for the purpose of trial ... to
be moved from Hardee County to
Polk County."
Circuit Judge Robert L. Doyel
ordered the change last week, in an
order dated Wednesday, Nov. 9.
In his order, Doyel states that
Crews will stay incarcerated in the
Hardee County Jail, but will be
transported to Polk County as need-
ed for court appearances and then
returned here.
All files held by the Hardee'
County Clerk's Office, however,
must be transferred to the custody
of the Polk County Clerk of Courts,
Doyel said.
Doyel also asked the chief judge
of the 10th Judicial Circuit, Ronald
A. Herring, to direct the Polk
County clerk to randomly assign
the Crews case to a felony judge
there. Doyel, who currently is pre-
siding in Hardee County, will not
hear the case.
As of late this Tuesday after-
noon, however, the Polk Clerk's
Office said it has no record of the
transfer and, therefore, rio judge
has been assigned to take over in
the matter.
The Polk Clerk's Office could
not say when the transfer will be
complete.
Barrington has been missing
since the evening of Oct. 10, 2002.
She clocked out of her job at
DeSoto Memorial Hospital at 6:03
p.m. Her car, a 1996 Kia Sephia,
was found abandoned on U.S. 17 in


DeSoto County, just two miles
south of the Hardee County line.
Her purse was still inside; the keys
were not.
Shirley Barrington said her
daughter was due to testify against
Crews in a domestic complaint in a
court hearing the next day, Oct. 11.
2002.
Maj. Claude Harris of the Hardee
County Sheriff's Office said Crews
became a suspect in the disappear-
ance early on.
.He said Tommy Crews and
Sondra Barrington had a "tumul-
tuous relationship." They shared
custody of their 3-year-old son, and
resulting problems caused police to
be called more than a dozen times,
according to Harris.
Crews' arrest record shows
charges of domestic violence, bat-
tery against a law enforcement offi-
cer, violation of court injunctions
for protection and violation of pro-
bation.
Since her disappearance, investi-
gators from a number of law
enforcement agencies have
searched the three counties for
Barrington.
'You're not required to have a
body to bring a murder charge in
the state of Florida when you have
other evidence, which we felt we
had," Sheriff J. Loran Cogburn said
following the Grand Jury indict-
ment. "We had testimonial and
physical evidence, and that's why
we brought it to a grand jury."
Assistant State Attorney. Cass
Castillo of the state attorney's
Bartow office is prosecuting the
case.

Best Western 'Best


Of Best' Ir
'The Best Western Heritage Inn &
'Suites in Wauchula/Bowling Green
-was named Best of the Best in
Design at Best Western Inter-
national's annual North American
convention held recently in
'Phoenix.
Hotel owners Lavon and Linda
Cobb, representing themselves and
mosaicc, their partners, were pre-
sented with the award in front of
'more than 2,000' industry peers at
'he Best Western Convention.
SThe select honor is bestowed
upon those member properties
whose design and construction pro-
jects have been deemed exceptional
by an independent panel of judges,
comprised of nationally recognized
designers and architects.
This year, Best Western Heritage
Inn & suites, was one of only eight
hotels out of more than 2,400 eligi-
ble properties in the United States
and Canada to receive this designa-
tion. The Best Western Heritage Inn
& Suites was chosen for District IV,
which includes Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and the
Caribbean.
' "The Best of the Best" awards
were created to recognize those
Best Westerns hotels that truly set.
the standard for the brand, epito-
mizing. the values on which the
company is based," said Larry
McRae,,chairman of Best Western's
Board of',Directors. "The Best
Western Heritage Inn & Suites has
captured the essence of this dedica-


1 Design
tion to quality with an outstanding
design presentation."
"We re so honored and feel over-
whelmed with such a prestigious
award for our hotel here in Hardee
County. We tried to build something
the community would be proud of
and, according to Best Western, I
guess we went above and beyond,"
Lavon Cobb exclaimed upon
returning from the convention. "I
am very proud of this hotel and I
want to give credit where it is due
for the design and d6cor, and that is
to Linda Cobb, Button Wright and
Sue Birge, who put hours and hours
into the design and finishing touch-
es of this project, and to Karen
Grice (a former Hardee County res-
ident) and Janice Perkins, both of
Carver & Associates in Atlanta."
This is the second award the hotel
has received since its opening six
months ago, on March 17. The first
award was "The Director's Award,"
and it was for scoring t very high
score of 979 points on the hotel's
initial assessment.
Located at 2727 U.S. 17 N.,
Bowling Green, the Best Western
Heritage Inn & Suites features 48
guest room with seven different
types, including queen, standard,
queen deluxe, king suite, corporate
suite, jacuzzi/honeymoon suite,
king/queen kitchenette, and ADA as
well' as hearing-impaired rooms.
The property also has a heated pool,
hot tub, fitness center, complimen-
tary expanded continental breakfast
and a banquet room.


Kelly's Column
By Jim


Former Hardee High School principal Pat Patterson, 79, died Nov. 13
in Shelbyville, KY., after a long battle with kidney disease. He and his wife
Virginia moved to Wauchula in 1953 and began employment with the
Hardee school system.
They had a lovely daughter, Teri. Pat helped design' the new high
school built in 1981. He retired in 1986.
As driver education instructor, Pat was a great teacher. He always said
drivers should pay full attention to the road ahead and anticipate possible
problems, always leaving yourself an out (a way to avoid the problem).
He loved to fish and fly radio-controlled model airplanes. A memorial
service is planned for Sunday, Dec. 4, at Hardee High School in Wauchula.
I have become a South Carolina Gamecock fan since Steve Spurrier
became their head football coach.
Spurrier won the Heisman tropy as a Florida Gator football player and
later became the head coach. All he did in 12 years was win the school's
only SEC titles (six), one unofficial SEC title because the Gators were on
probation (before he got there), and the school's only national title.
His UF contract allowed him to leave the Gators without penalty to
accept an NFL head coaching job, a long-time desire. After two unsuccess-
ful years With the Washington Redskins, he resigned in mid-season and
played golf for a year.
Meanwhile, the Gators fired Ron Zook, AD Jeremy Foley's third and
hasty choice for head coach after Denver Broncos' Mike Shanahan and
Oklahoma's Bob Stoops turned down the job opportunity.
Spurrier, who had made some players and' their UF folks mad when he
resigned from the Gators, was receptive to another head coaching job.
Foley expressed interest in Spurrier returning and said he could apply for
the job, that he and new UF president Bernie Madchn were going to do a,
nationwide search.
Apparently Spurrier did not want to go through a long interview
process and be part of a long drawn out coaching search. A few days later
he withdrew his interest in the UF job.
Meanwhile outgoing Gamecock coach Lou Holtz was retiring -and
highly recommended Spurrier. The South Carolina AD said Spurrier was
SC's only coaching candidate unless told otherwise by Steve himself. No
resume needed. Spurrier liked that kind of welcome.and challenge and took
the job.
Meanwhile, Machen and Foley hired hot prospect Urban Meyer, who
wja head football coach at Utah where Machen was president before taking
the UF job. Meyer had outstanding two-year coaching stints at Bowling
Green and Utah, going 12-0 his last year with the Utes. Zook, a nice man,
had never been a head coach before. Zook was 7-5 his first two seasons at
Florid, and is now head coach at struggling Illinois. "
And wouldn't you know it..:Saturday in Columbia, Gamecocks and
Spum I er 30, Florida Gators and Meyer 22.
There is a new powerhouse in the SEC. The Gamecocks are 7-3 with
l\e esti aight SEC wins. Florida is 7-3.
Which leaves us at this I like Urban Meyer and believe he will do
\eell at Florida but would rather have seen Spurrier come back as UF's head
coach. There is going to be some exciting SEC football ahead in the next
'e% years Me\er has al\a s had a better team in his second (and final) sea-
son HI-e plans to sita at UF a long time, however.
IN a year ending in 5 a good omen for Hardee High football?
Apparently \es.
In 1965 Hardee High's football team under head coach Don Herndon
reached the state championship game. In 1995 the Wildcats under Bob
martin reached the state final game (also in 1988 under Martin).

excellent team but have lost convincingly to larger strong teams.Bradenton
Manatee and Lakeland High (rated No. I in the nation by USA Today).
The 2005 Wildcats are 11-0 and have refused to lose, despite playing
several close games and being behind at halftime at least three times and
trailing in the fourth quarter twice.
The Wildcats played four good quarters last week against Tampa
Robinson and will need another outstanding performance against Kathleen.
It would not be a surprise if the Hardee crowd is about as large as
Kathleen's attendance.
With good overall balance, several good runningbacks, a good passing
attack, a veteran offensive line,.a strong defense, and good special teams,
the 2005 Wildcats are ready to test their limits.
The Democrats want to retake the U.S. Senate in 2006. James Carville
of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Commitee has criticized President
George Bush's administration for "$350 billion spent on the Iraq war as of
Oct. 7, 2005; 0 number of weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq; $236
billion budget surplus left by President Bill Clinton; $317 billion current
deficit under George Bush; and $10 billion in no-bid contracts Halliburton
received in Iraq and the Gulf states after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita."
President Bush this week criticized Democrats for criticizing the Iraq
war; saying most Democrats voted for the use of force to remove Saddam
Hussein. There is major concern over pre-war U.S. intelligence.
Under Bush the US. has not suffered another terrorist attack in four
years and. two months following Sept. 11, 2001. Bush believes the Irag
action is part of a worldwide fight against terror of Muslim extremists
against free countries.
The global scene is too complex for my mind, but Americans are sup-
porting our men and women in service. We can only hope for smart politi-
cal decisions. There is a lot at stake.
S It may be many 'years before the George W. Bush presidency can be
accurately judged. It is easy to criticize, but do the Democrats in 2006 have
something better to offer'

A Nov. 14, 2005, issue of Forbes Magazine gave a few hints on how
investment banker and asset manager Albert H. Gordon has lived to be 104.
They include no coffee or tea, no tobacco, a glass of champagne once
a year, large quantities of dark chocolate, no added salt on his food, lots of
exercise, and drinking warm water.
He took up marathon running at age 81 and now works out on a sti-
tionary bicycle. If he weighs a pound too much, he cuts out whole meals by
substituting Carnation instant breakfast. He eats red meat.
Dottie Stone of Bowling Green recently sent in this note:
"This mom would like to say thank you for the use of shelter during
Hurricane Wilma and would like to give our local Red Cross an A+++.
Their work was wonderful and organized really well. This also goes to our
sheriff's department and police department and to our county."
Some good alternative agricultural crops are needed in this area of
Florida to replace some of the citrus groves that are being destroyed due to,
canker.
George Anderson of LaBelle in Hendry County has a 10-acre
macadamia grove. He said macadamia nuts bring a good price and there is
a big demand, with 50,000 tons of the nuts imported into the U.S. last year.
Florida Farm Bureau's Florida Agrictlture magazine featured his nut
operation in its October 2005 issue.

their principal. In 1981. HHS
moved into its current home on

Pat, then Superintendent John
Terrell, and the HHS teaching

school and made a point to take
time to encourage them. '
Pat loved fishing the lakes and'
inlets of Florida witi his friends,
and did so whenever he could.
After retirement in 1986.' he also
designed, built, and flew radio-

was president of the flying club
for a number of years, and taught
the art to scores of hew flyers,
Friends Lewis Pace and. Billy
Smith will remember many fine
hours spent with Pat, "swapping
lies" and flying their planes.
In 2001, with his health declin-
ing, Pat and Virginia moved, to
Simpson ille, Ky., in'order to be
closer to their only child, daughter
Teri Gimmel and her husband
Rob. But it was always too cold
for Pat there, and. he missed the
smell of orange blossoms, the
warm w inters of Florida, and the
warm smiles of his friends.
He was preceded in death by
his parents, Roy and Lura-
Patterson, and is survived by
Virginia, his wife of 52 years,
.daughter Teri, son-in-law Rob,
nieces and nephews, and his for-
mer students, staff, and many
friends.

to Coast EPA General Manager Bob
Occhi.
The employees and their families
were extremely grateful for the
donations, but PRECo wanted to do
more; thus appeared "Santa Claus

long time before that area can return
to .life, as normal and PRECo
employees are willing to do their
part by lending a helping hand.

will still be able to celebrate

Swimmers End At Regionals


Lady Cats Open In Tourney


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee swimming boys ended
their quest at the rescheduled
regional meet last weekend.
Casey Brutus, Tyler.Robertson,
Walter "Boomer" Olliff, Joe Porter
and Chris Reid swam well against
outstanding competition, but came
up short of advancing to the state
meet in Fort Lauderdale this week-
end.
Class 1A District 5 winners
Brutus and Robertson were up
against swimmers from such
diverse Region 2 schools as Florida
Air Academy, Dreyfoos, Suncoast,
Holy Trinity .Episcopal, Lake
Highland, Lake Placid, Harmony,
West Shore, Trinity Prep, Lincoln
Park, Father Lopez, Circle
Christian, Lake Mary Prep, Cocoa
Beach, Haven Christian, Benjamin,
Bishop Moore, Melbourne Central
Catholic, Lakeland Christian,
Edgewood, Frostproof, Cardinal
Newman, All Saint's Academy,


Jensen Beach, Ridge, Santa Fe
Catholic, Lake Wales, John Carroll,
Avon Park and First Academy.
With such large groups in each
event, there were several prelimi-
nary and final heats and Hardee
swimmers found it difficult to get
out of the preliminaries.
Hardee's best finish was by
junior Brutus, who placed fifth in
the finals of the 100-yard breast-
stroke. Seeded at 1:07.88, he placed
seventh in the preliminaries in a
time of 1:07.74 and moved up to
fifth in the finals with a time of
1:07.04. He came in ahead of the
nearest local competition, Lake
Placid senior Tommy Creel, who
placed eighth.
Wildcat senior captain Olliff
placed ninth overall in the 500-yard
freestyle. Seeded at a time of
5:42.62, Olliff narrowed that to
5:42.50 in the preliminaries, just
ahead of Lake Placid junior Derek
- Hendrie.
Robertson, a freshman, placed


Rise & Shine

By Ted Simonson


20 THINGS THE LORD TAUGHT ME DURING MY,
FIRST 50 YEARS AS A CHRISTIAN
Some of these insights were given suddenly. Some were learned bit by
bit over many years. Some were born in pain. As a result, I possess them ih .
a special way.
I challenge you, my reader, to find some quiet place and compose your
own list. Doubtless, your list will not be.exactly like mine because the Lord
deals with each of us in a way that is unique and personal.
At the very least, it will give you many reasons to thank God for tak-
ing you into His School of Life where both heart aind mind are enlightened
and made ready for service.
(1) God is good. .
(2) We must be rightly related to God before wle can be rightly related
to anyone else.
(3) The only place you can contact God is right where you are.
(4) Oui first duty to God is to praise and thank Him, not ask for things.
(5) Give and it will be given unto you. Always true.
(6) Is the Christian life hard? Here is %hat is hard: Living entirely for,
yourself, seeking only your o\wn welfare and pleasure, then going to hell,
with all those who have spent their lives in the same way. That is hard.
(7) People don't make one big decision about going to hell. Instead,
they "vote" for hell each day by the selfish decisions the\ make.
(8) Spoiling children is teaching them that they are the most important
people in the universe instead of God. This prepares them for a life of rebel-
lion and unbelief. "
(9) Discouragement, complaining and pessimism are actually argu-
ments against the faithfulness of God.
(10) Jesus is the Father's answer for the world's sin and all the prob-
lems that come from sin.
(11) Prayer. like every other good thing, takes practice.
(12) Growing old is not a tragedy. Growing old %without God ,is a
tragedy. '
,(1,3) Recognizing the fact of death is both healthy and wise. What is,
foolish is to think about death and make no preparation to meet it.
(14) Total commitment to God is vital. How foolish and shameful to,
offer only a part of ourselves and imagine that He will find this acceptable.
(15) It is essential to keep the heart and conscience clear at all times.
Any problem should he immediately handed over to the Father so that %we
can remain clean, unburdened and ready for our next assignment.
(16) The important thing is not how we feel but what \we choose.
(17) God really does %work everything together for good for those who
love Him.
(18) Encourage everybody you can. Most people are not looking for
answers to questions. They are looking for love in all the wrong places.
(19) God is not % killing that any should perish. (
(20) I am not my ow\n. I have been ransomed. Therefore, Iam relieved
S;orf any unnecessary concerns. All I need to do is my duty and I am.
helped with that!, .


13th in the 100-yard freestyle.
Seeded at 55.70, he lowered that to
55.47. well ahead of a pair of Lake
Placid swimmers Lee Lovett and
Evan Montgomery, who were in at
57.31 and 58.61 respectively.
Robertson was also 13th in the
100-yard backstroke. Seeded at
1:11.44, he cut that to 1:09.58,
again in front of Lake Placid, which
had David Moore in at 1:11.78 and
Shane Stayer at 1:16.98.
Hardee also placed in a pair of
Srelays. Olliff, Brutus, Robertson
and Reid placed 13th overall in the
400-yard freestyle in a time of
.4:30.98. Brutus, Porter, Robertson
and Olliff were 14th overall in the
200-yard medley relay, dropping
from seeded 2:01.84 to 2:02.31.
This season's success will
increase next year as the swim team
will lose only' Olliff and girls cap-
tain Amanda Quinones to gradua-
tion. Brutus is the only junior.
Sophs expected to return are
Christina English, Sarah Ezelle,
Sean McCandless, Will Stephens
and Tony Stevens.

Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee varsity girls basket-
ball team opened its season last
week with a pair of tournament
ganjes.
Head coach Don Gray used them
as opportunities to get his team
experience and see how the girls
have begun to gel. The girls lost
both games to 4A-.District 10 rivals.
On Tuesday, the host Sebring Lady
Streaks got their Tip-Off tourna-
ment going with a 60-32 victory
over Hardee. On Thursday, Hardee
fell victim to Avon Park 53-32.
The regular season began on
Tuesday evening with a visit from
Frostproof. Today (Thursday), it's a
return trip to Sebring in an impor-
tant district matchup.
Next week's scheduled varsity-
.only game 'against Evangel
Christian was cancelled. Hardee
hosts district rival Braden River on
Tuesday. Then, it's a break until
after Thanksgiving. Play resumes
with a Dec. 2 trip to Sarasota
Booker, another district rival.
Against Sebring, Hardee got the
first three points of the game but
just as quickly fell behind the expe-
rienced returning Lady Streaks,
which gradually and surely
widened the gap. It was 17-9 at the
end of quarter one and 19-14 at
halftime. Sebring was up 41-27 at
the three-quarter mark and finished
strong for the 60-32 win.'.
Sophomore, Rachel Ashley
scored 17 points for Sebring, eight
in the final period. Senior Shakinah
Crumity added 14 and another soph
Whitney Lee added a dozen.
For the Lady Cats, senior Kim
Cummins v as high with 15 points,
some in every Iperiod. Christina
Jena 'chipped in with seven, D,. K.
Da is and Gloria Solis each had
four and Thelicia Jena had two.
"It's going to take'a while to get
the right chemistry. We had some
good things happen. We ran our
offense %%ell, had some good looks,
but need to be more aggressive on
the boards, blocking out and
rebounding.'" said Gra
On Thursday e.ening. Hardee
spotted A\on Park the first :half
dozen points. Freshman Sabrina
Holmes, who led the area in junior
high scoring last year. sank a trey to
cut the lead in hjlf, 6-3.
Rede Devil junior Shantavia
Conner made it 8-3 and Cummins
hit a three-pointer to make it 8-6.


That's the closest Hardee would
come as the taller squad of seniors
and juniors put Avon Park in
frontl8-8 as the first period closed.
Junior Kysi Wooden hung back
and got numerous easy hoops on
the defensive rebound and long
throw from her teammates. She got
such a deuce to start the second
quarter. Davis was fouled and hit
both free throws for Hardee. For
every shot Hardee attempted, Avon
Park was there for the rebound.
Solis hit both ends of a one-and-
one as the Avon Park fouls began to
add up. Hardee kept plugging
away, but was down 29-16 at half
time.
It was several minutes before
Hardee found its shooting touch in
the second half when Madison
Graham rebounded a Cummins
shot. Thelicia Jena hit a free throw.
Hardee was down 43-19 when the
fourth period began.
Cummins began to find the range
and hit deuces and treys. Holmes
hit a pair of free throws and
Cummins a pull-up jumper. As the
game wound down, Cummins stole
the ball and went all the way down.


Letter To The Editor

Hospice Vo

Needed In
Dear Editor,
.November is. National Hospice
Month. This letter is to inform our
community: about Good Shepherd
Hospice and the value of hospice
care %%hen people living with termi-
nal illness are experiencing pain
and distress.
Hospice staff have much exper-
tise in controlling pain and helping
patients and families cope with an
end of life illness. Hospice care
allows patients to exercise some
control as life draws to a close and,
to have a say in where and how to
spend their final time.
With pain under control, patients
can find spiritual closure and spend
meaningful, quality time with
loved ones.
Hospice care is applicable not
just for terminal cancer but also for
patients suffering with heart and
Slung failure,, kidney failure and
numerous end of life diseases.
SThe hospice program is funded


the court to the Wildcat hoop. The
final score was 53-34.
Wooden had 25 of her team's
points, with seniors Cierra Godfrey
adding a dozen and Tacoria Jones
putting eight in the Avon Park hole.
The over-aggressive Lady Devils
had 19 fouls to just 10 for Hardee.
For Hardee, Cummins led with
18 and Holmes had seven. Solis
had four points, Davis, Graham and
Christina Davis had two each and,
Thelicia Jena added a free throw.
The Lady Cats include seniors
Cummins, Thelicia Jena, Diondra
Chisolm, Santresa Harris and Joia.
Jones, juniors Christina Jones,
Davis, Graham and Ciara Lambert,
sophs Solis, Sherisa Jones and.
Andrea "Dre" Parkinson, who will
be out as soon as her paperwork:
clears, and.freshman Holmes.
Gray said he was disappointed in;
not being able to practice'
Wednesday as he had planned due
to the absence of three players who
missed practice and had to sit out
the first half of Thursday's game.
"We did O.K. tonight, we've
improved since Tuesday," he said
succinctly.


lunteers Are

Hardee County
by Medicare, Medicaid and private
insurances. No one is refused care
for inability to pay.
Hospice provides care at the end
of life and truly improves quality of
life for patients and families. My
family has experienced hospice
care for several of our family mem-
bers and understand the value of
having hospice nurses, .doctors.,
social workers, chaplains, etc.,
available to provide the level of
care needed for patients and faiii-
lies.
I have volunteered with Good
Shepherd Hospice for six years and
can truly say this involvement has
enriched my life.
There is a great need for hospice
volunteers in Hardee County.
Phone the Good Shepherd Hospice
office in Sebring (1-888-748-1066)
if you are interested.

Nutrition Notes

ARE YOU SUPERSIZING YOURSELF WITH FAST FOOD?
The odds that frequently eating fast food meals can supersizee" you are
real. But to prevent unwanted and unhealthy weight gain, is it enough to
change your choice of food, drink or portion sizes at fast food restaurants?
Or do you need to change your attitudes about eating and the places where
you eat?
According to a recent, large nutrition survey, American adults and chil-
dren who eat fast food meals more frequently tend to consume more calo-
ries, fat and sodium. They receive less of several vitamins and minerals. In
fact, on a typical day, almost a third of children and teens eat at a fast food
restaurant. These individuals consume almost 200 extra calories, including
nine more grams of fat and more than two extra tablespoons of sugar, than
those who don't eat at fast food restaurants.
People who eat more often at fast food restaurants are more likely to
be overweight. A study that followed adults for 15 years found that changes
in their fast food habits were directly related to changes in their weight.
Those who ate fast food more than twice a week throughout the study
gained an extra tablespoons of sugar, than those who don't eat at fast food
restaurants.
People who eat more often at fast food restaurants are more likely to
be overweight. A study that followed adults for 15 years found that changes
in their fast food habits were directly related to changes in their weight.
Those who ate fast food more than twice a week throughout the study
gained an extra 10 pounds. They were twice as. likely to develop health
problems related to insulin resistance than those buying fast food less than
once a week.
The difference in weight gain is more than a reflection of where peo-
ple iend to consume more calories, fat and sodium, and fewer vitamins on
the days when they go to fast food restaurants than on the days they don't.
Not counting French fries, people eat fewer vegetables with fast food,
which results in a lower intake of nutrients. By not filling up on fiber-rich
vegetables, people also consume more high-fat foods.
Studies tend to show that menu items identified as healthy or low-fat
are correctly labeled. If we don't choose the, however, calories can add up
*quickly.
The reason we can easily consume more calories than we need may be
twofold. First is the tendency one report calls "passive over-consumption."
Our bodies don't automatically sense that we need smaller portions when
food is high in calories. Second is our lick of a strong ability to compen-
sate later in the day by eating less. This report highlights fast food as a par-
"ticular problem, since these meals tend to be from 65 to 100 percent more
concentrated in calories than other meals.
Since adolescents tend to eat at fast food restaurants so often, you
might think they should all be overweight. One study concluded, however,
that leaner teens seem to eat less during the rest of the day than overweight
teens, if they eat fast food. The data also shows that overweight teens
overeat fast food more dramatically than the leaner teens. It's possible that
our ability to compensate for extra calories may depend on how much extra
we eat.:
Fast food meals are concentrated in calories because they are -high in
fat and low in non-starchy vegetables: Soft drinks, however, are a major
part.of the calorie load. At least 100 calories of the increased load in a fast
food meal tend to come from soft drinks. A large drink often provides about
300 calories, which is close to a meal's worth for some individuals.
Furthermore, a problem with fast food could stem from our attitudes,
as well as the food and drink for purchase. In one study, people who fre-
quented fast food restaurants most often had little belief that what you eat
affects your cancer risk.
SDo you get fast food because you doubt vegetables, fruits, whole grains
and beans. are important for good health? If you do, your health would ben-
efit from a change in your attitude. By eating a variety of plant foods every-
day, you can take advantage of all the nutrients and health-protective bene-
fits that these food offer.
THE MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH HABITS
All healthy habits are not equal. Since the media bombards us with so
many different ways to improve our health, it's easy to jump from one to
another, or just give up. Although the right habits can pay good health div-
idends, several studies show that few Americans successfully focus on the
habits that offer the most benefits.
One recent survey asked more than 153,000 Americans aged 18 to 74
how well they practiced four of the most important healthy habits. The most
widely adopted healthy habit was tobacco avoidance: 76 percent said they
were nonsmokers. Forty percent reported a weight that put them in the
healthy body mass index (BMI) range of 18.5 to 25.0. But only 23 percent
reported eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And
just 22 percent said they were physically active 30 minutes or more at least
five times a week.
Since each of these habits brings health benefits, practicing even one is
better than none. But, surprisingly, nearly 40 percent of those surveyed fol-
lowed only one of these basic healthful habits. A meager three percent car-
ried out all four of these widely recommended behaviors.
Two earlier studies, part of the Nurses' Health Study, examined how
well people met five good health criteria. These criteria were a healthy
weight, nronsmoker, at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity
daily, a healthy diet and a moderate use of alcohol. Since a healthy diet is
made up of many habits, scientists in these two studies looked for a high-
fiber diet low in saturated and trans fats, with limited sweets and refined
grains.
Only three percent of the' women in these studies met all of the stan-
dards, but those who did were far better off healthwise. The other women
developed almost five times more heart problems and 10 times more than
they did.
Another large study at how people's compliance with the former fed-
eral government's "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" affected their cancer
incidence. Post-menopausal women earned points for: a healthy weight;
moderate or vigorous activity more: than four days a week; limiting fat

Playoff Game Goes On


The Road


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats take their
playoff hopes to Lakeland Kathleen
this week.
The Cats, winners of a 31-13
quarterfinal Class 3A clash with
Tampa Robinson travel north to
face the Red Devils who inched
past Titusville Astronaut 27-21 last
week.
In the first week of playoffs, 32
hopefuls were narrowed to 16 for
the second round. Most of the
games were won by the district
winner over the opposing district
runner-up. The exceptions were 7-3
Pensacola which upset 8-2
Tallahassee Godby 27-9 and 5-5
Williston which upended 6-4
Inverness Citrus 64-25.
Hardee extended its season to 11-
0 with the win over Robinson.
Kathleen moved to 9-2 with its nar-
row victory over Astronaut. The
Red Devils were rolling along in an
8-0 season before going on the road
for a final pair of games against
Class 5A opponents. The Devils
lost to then 4-3 Manatee High 39-
14 and the season finale against the
nationally ranked Lakeland
Dreadnaughts 42-14.
The Devils beat season oppo-'
nents overall 218-122. The only
common opponents are Bartow,
which both Hardee and Kathleen
both beat 21-14, and Haines City.
Hardee shut out the Hornets 27-0
and Kathleen won 35-0 over. the
Hornets.
At the last published sportswrit-
ers poll, the Cats were tied for
fourth place with Sarasota Booker.
Kathleen was ranked seventh. The
-top 12 teams in the Class 3A rank-
ings were all winners in last week's
quarterfinal games.
Hardee head coach Derren Bryan


is not taking the Red Devils lightly.
"They will be tough. They are
strong and fast. We will have to win
the battle on the line, up front on
both sides of the ball. They will be
the best we have seen all year.
Their scheme is what we have seen
before, but much .faster. They play
well in a hases of the game.
"Our practices have been good.
We will follow our game plan and
go out and do what we do well. We
need to stop their run-and-pass
game and get their quarterback in
an uncomfortable position. We're
excited to be playing ," concluded
Bryan.
Hardee has a now well-seasoned
junior quarterback, Weston Palmer,
who leads the area in percent com-
pletions. Senior Marc Hodges tops
the area in yardage gained, both
total and per carry. His efforts are
supplemented by fullback Brad
Gilliard's blocking and key third-
down yardage. Chris Rich, Michael
Carpenter, Jimmy Cimeus and
Lisnell Youyoute help out, too.
One, of the keys is Special Teams,
which Bryan feels must work well.
Youyoute had a free kick return for
a deciding touchdown against
DeSoto. Rich can turn a punt return
or reverse into a score. Will Krause
punts well and Pablo Anselmo can
place'the kickoff or nail the PAT or
field goal when needed.
The biggest key is the line, which
makes holes for running backs or
shuts down opposing runners.
Linebackers fill the spots inside
and out. The secondary has become
adept at batting away or intercept-
ing passes.
Kathleen has its own cadre of
outstanding players. Junior quarter-
back Dominique Davis can hand-
off, run himself or pass. Tailback
Darell Henley is among the best in
Polk County, with running backs T.

Kicker Clint Slappy is on the
money.
Defensively, lineman Ja'Michael
Highsmith and linebacker Mondrell
Clarke lead a tenacious defense
which is stingy in allowing oppo-
nents to get momentum for a scor-


ing drive.
Perhaps, two evenly matched
teams. It ought to be an exciting
game which all Wildcat fans will
want to attend. Kathleen crowds
have been erratic in supporting
their team. A strong Hardee crowd
could spur the Cats to another vic-
tory.


Directions to Game
Take U. S. 17 north to Bartow and take a left, following U.S. 98. Stay
on 98 into Lakeland. Then turn right at Lakeland High School and
follow 98 to join U.S. 92 on Memorial Blvd. Follow 92 west and go
about five miles. You will see the stadium. Turn right on N. Chestnut,
then left on Crutchfield and turn into the first open gate on your left
to park.

Hardee Manor Nursing Center in
Wauchula was the site of a recent
family celebration for Erie Marsh's
95th birthday.
The dining room was decorated
with red tablecloths and milk-glass
vases of deep red roses. One
white-and-red cake heralded the
years of her life, while a chocolate
cake and ice cream satisfied the pal-
let of many of her guests. Coffee
and Coke were added to comple-
ment the sweets.
Those in attendance came from
both. sides of her family, mostly
from, the local area: Mrs.
MaeFrank Himrod, Mrs. Doris
Gough Rhyan, Mrs. Naomi Pearson
of Lakeland, Mrs. Brenda Raabe of
Lake Wales, Marshall Gough, John
Roy Gough, Mr: and Mrs. J.R.
Gough along with sons Gage and
Cason, Mr. and Mrs. Wendell
Cotton, Mrs. Karen Johns-Drake,
and Mr. and Mrs. O.C. Coker and
daughters Lauren and Kendall.,
' Her own children were present:
Mr. and Mrs. W.M.. Marsh of
Arcadia and Mr. and Mrs. David
Ketner of Lakeland. Her grand-
children: Mr. and Mrs. Larry
Liedke and Mrs. Darrell Schlabach,
all of Arcadia; Mrs. Ashley Webb of
Lakeland; and Mr. and Mrs. Brent
Forlow of Kissimmee. Her great-
grandchildren: Josh Schlabachli
Jessica Liedke, Kalee Schlabach,
Isaac Webb, Katie Forlow and Luke
Forlow.
Other guests included. Mrs.
Mazie Ketner, Mrs. Martha Sue
Evans and Carolyn Gilliard.
Erie was born to Alex and Lottie
Gough in Hardee County on Nov. 2,
1910. She:received her name from
her father, who saw the word "Erie"
on a barrel shipped to his farm.
Erie was the second of four chil-
dren Horace, Erie, Edith and
Leroy born to the Goughs. She
is the only living sibling. She first
resided in the Oak Grove communi-
ty, but eventually settled on the
west side of Hardee County in the
area known as Castalia. She grev.
up helping her family in the pas-
tures, fields.and groves of Florida
Cracker country life.
In November of 1933 she mar-
ried Cecil Lee Marsh, first son of
Addie and Ander Marsh, of Oak
Grove. Once asked what she
remembered about the Depression,
she replied, "We didn't know there
-was such a thing as a Depression.
We ne'er had much." She and
Cecil established their own home-
stead in west Hardee Count., where
their lives re\ohled around work
and church attendance. Two chil-
dren were born to this marriage,
W.M Marsh (1939') of Arcadia and
Cecilia Marsh Ketnier (1945) of
Lakeland.
The Marshes raised their children

COURTESY PHOTO
Family members held a 95th birthday celebration for Erie Marsh,
shown here with son W.M. Marsh and daughter Cecilia Ketner.


in the traditiornof Florida country
life of that era. Husband, wife and
children worked together in cucum-
ber and to.mniito fields, orange
groves and beef-cattle production.
Cucumbers were planted in late fall
and .early spring with a careful
watch for possible freezes.
Walking the floor trying to decide


whether- to cover the crops with
'wooden troughs to protect against a
possible freeze was a constant,
worry.
Harvesting, washing and packing
the vegetables for market was the
final step- in the family's truck-
farming business. Hoeing orange
trees and spraying against infesta-


tions consumed another major por-
tion of the farming work. All this
vegetable/fruit production was
punctuated with care for the wild
bush cattle. These animals were
rounded up a couple of times each
year for marking and branding and
shipping to market. This was an :
exciting time for the entire family,
as uncles, aunts and cousins gath-
ered at the cow pens for the big
"marking and branding" day.
It was usually a celebration
revolving around a big noon meal.
The younger children and the wives
would wait at the pens for the sound
of cattle being herded through tall
trees and Florida palmettos right
into the wooden cow pens. Thoe
on horses would thunder through
the bushes shouting and giving
orders to keep the cows moving in
the right direction. The smell of
swamp cabbage cooked over wood
fires wafted amidst the smell of the
burning flesh of the cattle being
branded.
Erie worked right beside her hus-
band in most of the farm chores,
planting, hoeing and spraying, but
yet prepared three full meals a day
with meat served at each meal.
One particular meal of interest was
prepared only during "hunting sea-
son." Erie would get up very early
to provide a breakfast of fried quail.
grits with gravy, and toast prepared
under the broiler with hot chocolate
or coffee. This would be before
she put her children on the school
bus about 7 a.m.
Erie and Cecil sold their farm ip
the mid 1970s and moved to
Arcadia, where they continued ,to
assist W.M. with his farm and p4s I
ture. When Cecil died in 1987,
Erie stayed by herself for a whi e,
caring for peacocks, guineas aind
various chickens. Erie was still
growing a garden and working in it
daily until July of 2001.
She has resided at Hardee ManZr
since March of 2005.
Not what I have, but what I do
is my kingdom.

HELP FOR A KITTEN
THROWN OUT OF A
CAR WINDOW
By: Dr. Ross A. Hendry,
*, DVM ,. 3


I can certainly relate to Lisa.Revell-Petro's dilemma after reading her letter
to the editor in the Herald-Advocate last week. It was about a thrown-away dog
she had befriended and now she is desperately trying to find a home for him.
It 'happens so often here at Pet Care Center. When people find injured stray
pets they bring them here. We try to find a home for them or contact Animal
Control to pick them up after we have attended to their medical needs.
Last Monday, for instance, two working men pulled their van into our park-
ing lot and carefully brought in a very small kitten. He weighed exactly 15
ounces. .
The% had been driving to work and saw someone in the car ahead of them
throw a kitten out of the car window and watched it tumble off to the side of the
road.
The men stopped and picked the kitten up then drove all the way back here
to our hospital. Actually when I came to work that morning my two veterinary
technicians Jackie Douglas and Kim Boyd were giving our new little guest a
bath. He didn't seem to be minding if at all, even though a bath isn't o4e of a
cat's favorite things to do.
Itappeared he had nothing more than a bloody nose, but in addition to the
bath the girls gave him an antibiotic, vaccine and a very warm, cozy:place in the
lab where he could rest comfortably.
Jackie told our receptionist Judy Johnson about the kitten because she has
placed so many stray pets through her connections at the front desk. When
Megan Redding, (who incidentally, willbecome Mrs. Sean Keleher on Saturday)
got to work that morning Judy told her all about the thrown-away kitten.
Later in the day Megan's cousin, Michele Dick, a school teacher in Arcadia,
came into the clinic and the kitten story was repeated again. Then Michelle told
Marty Sokolosky, who is also a teacher and this story had a delightful ending.
Tuesday afternoon Marty Sokolosy, his wide Randi and their two little girls
Sophia, 4, and Taylor, 3, picked the kitten up and took it home. I don't know if
they have named him yet, but I would certainly have to call that kitten "Lucky."
I also hope somebody will adopt, care for and love the shy, skinny dog with
one floppy ear that Mrs. Petro rescued from the side of County Road 664 in
Bowling Green.

Hardee County rancher and citrus
grower Marcus Shackelford was
guest speaker at the Veterans Day
ceremony Friday morning at the
American Legion. building in
Wauchula. To. the over 50 who
attended, he said Veterans Day hon-
ors America's military veterans, lib-
erty and'freedom.
"I remember Friday, Aug. 13,
2004, when Hurricane Charley
came. The next day at Nicholson's I
bought two generators, and two
chain saws and did not care about
the price. I never got used to a cold
shower. I did not have air condi-
tioning until I got married. In the
two weeks after Charley we all,
missed things we took for granted,
like warm showers and electricity.
The problem often is we don't
appreciate things until we lose
i them."
Shackelford recalled Sept. 11,
2001, when the hijacked jetliners
were flown into the Twvin Toweis in
New York City and into the side of
the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
"Terror .spread across this land.
People began flying American flags
on their cars, and patriotism flour-
ished for awhile."'
He recalled quotes of former U.S.,
President TeddN Roosevelt ,who:
said "Speak softly and carry a big

stick" and "Don't spread patriotism
too thin."
Shackelford noted about
America's veterans and those who'
were injured or died in service of
their' countr-y, "We owe a debt we
cannot pay. At least we can be
grateful."
He complimented the "wonderful
memorial" alongside U.S. 17 in
Wauchula that lists the war dead of
Hardee County. "The men in
Hardee County have given their
lives for us and our freedoms.
"Many things are not innate.
Children have to learn respect, love,
discipline, patriotism," said Shac-
kelford, who was thankful for his
high school American history
teacher Myrtie Strickland for teach-
ing patriotism and love of country.
"We all need to preach patriotism.
"Freedom, like salvation, is pur-.
chased with red blood."
Shackelford said one American
leader once said, "Eternal vigilance
is the price of freedom."
Shackelford noted, "I hope we
never have to lose freedom in the
United- States to realize how pre-
.cious it is."

always glad to get back to the air-

The welcome was given by post
commander Bob Weidman who
also led in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Alma Albritton sang the National
Anthem, then Weidman introduced
the guest speaker, following the
invocation by the Rev. Bob
Norman.
The roll call of the Hardee
County honored dead was read by
John W. Maddox and John W.
Burton.
The wreath at the monument was
placed by Juanita Clark and Rev.
Norman. The wreath was partly in
remembrance of Jack L. Clark Jr.,-
son of Jack and Juanita Clark, who
died June 17, 2004, in Sterling, Va.,
after a 30-year career in the U.S.
Army where he rose to commander
sergeant major of Med Com.
The war dead monument was
dedicated on Sept. 14, 1986.

aptitude for patience.

25 YEARS AGO
The 4-H and FFA fat stock sale
was the most successful ever this
year, with 50 steers and one bull
bringing $110,863 compared to
$64,951 for 28 steers last year.
The livestock show and sale is
sponsored by the Hardee County
Cattlemen's Association.

Sam Rawls shocked the crowd
gathered at the county's public
hearing on the proposed 1981 bud-
get Tuesday night by threatening to
resign.
...- "We've had heckling -here
tonight," Rawls said. "We've had
clapping against us. They (county
residents) don't appreciate, what
we've done.
"I don't have to put up with this,
and unless I change my mind, I'm
going to resign."
Jack Truitt told Rawls, "I think


you misread this group. All uver the
county I hear what a good job you
have done. Hang in there."

From the "Golfin' 'N Fishin'"
column Ben Whitaker:
Pictured is Ronald Welch with
the 11 lb.-1 oz. bass he caught in

Lake Bonnet while fishing with a
red plastic worm. Nice catch, Ron.
I'm sure that most of you will
recognize the four beautiful fish
pictured below as snook. In case
you are not familiar with the gentle-
men in the picture, they are Bruce
Perrine of Wauchula and Ken
Newsom of Fort Meade. Don't
crank up the car and head for Boca
Grande because these fish were
caught on a recent trip to Costa
Rica, and Bruce tells me it is a fish-
erman's paradise down there.

Sheriff-Elect Doyle W. Bryan is
one step closer to becoming the
county's chief law enforcement offi-
cer now that he has attended a New

10 YEARS AGO
After nine-month hiatus, a new
director has joined the Hardee
County Public Library.
Donald Obrakta brings a variety
of experience in community, gov-
ernment and institutional library
management to his new position as
librarian at the county facility locat-
ed in Courthouse Annex II on U.S.


17 at the north edge of Wauchula.
Obrakta replaces Randy
Wilkinson, who left in early
February to devote full time to the
Polk County School Board, to
which he had been elected.

Just in time for holiday mailings,
residents all around the county will
be receiving a form telling them
their new .addresses.
Pictured on Page One is Sandra
Garza of Golfview Estates receiv-
ing her new address from Enhanced
911 Coordinator Larry Pelton.
Whether the road name has been
changed or not, all residents will be
required to post numbers on their
house or business and are asked to
notify the post office, their routine
correspondents and others of the
change of address.
The new addressing will make it
possible for emergency personnel to
respond to any given location more
promptly.

The Zolfo Springs Civic Center is
once again open for rentals and
just in time for the holiday season.
That reversal came Monday night
in regular session of the Town
Council by unanimous vote, but not


Let us rejoice that God granted us the privilege to live another day.

This will be a different type of article than I usually write. I hope you
enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed living it.
Thursday, Nov. 3, my best friend Linda picked me and my luggage up
about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. We then headed for Tampa International
Airport where we boarded a Delta airliner for a non-stop flight to Salt Lake
City to be two of over 6,000 distributors who had flown and/or driven to
Salt Lake City to attend the third anniversary of my company Xango.
I like to fly, and I don't have an airline preference, but was surprised
when I found out Delta was the only airline who offered a non-stop flight
to' Salt Lake City. Normally I fly with one stop, but changing planes and
being afraid I would miss my connection prompted the non-stop.
The first thing we noticed upon disembarking was the change in the
temperature. Linda is originally from Ohio, and I was born and bred in
Western Pennsylvania, so you would think the cold weather wouldn't both-
er us, but we both have lived in Florida long enough to grow accustomed
to warm and sometimes downright hot --weather.
We stayed on the 11th floor of Marriott City Center which was beauti-
fully decorated and furnished, right down to the pseudo antique dresser sit-
ting in the hall. I would love to have one just like it in my home. It was so
Pretty.
We freshened up and headed to another location to attend a welcome
by the owners of one of my company websites, met lots of old friends and
made some. new friends. I picked up a T-shirt for each us which we won by
b ing among the first 100 to register. There was a company-sponsored wel-
come reception going on at the same time, but we didn't go to that one. It
,wis after midnight our time by the time we got back to our hotel, since Salt
Lahke City (SLC) is on mountain time, and we had had a long day.
A Because we had not registered when we should have, we were unaware
there was breakfast being served (for a price) at the convention hall.
Breakfast brought to our room was $12 each. The hotel did not have a reg-
u r coffee shop so we ate at Starbucks which was on the first floor. You do
n it know what we paid for a muffin, a sweet roll and a bottle of water. Now
I know why their stock is so high!
The weather was inclement to say the least, and we didn't have an
umbrella. Fortunately, a distributor took pity on us and shared his umbrel-
1 SLC is completely handicap accessible, so crossing streets was no prob-
t mn except that one time.
The rain was coming down steadily by that time. With a certain amount
o? apprehension I noticed that the gutter water was running high, but when
Ve got to that point I gunned my electric wheelchair and then it happened.
The front wheel came off! by the time Linda and Grant. got me out of
harm's way the other front wheel came off, and there I sat.
Grant ran ahead to the convention center to get another distributor.
Linda disengaged the brakes, the two men tipped the chair back and pushed
une through the doors of the convention center where we were at least out
o? the weather., Linda called for a rental, then their truck broke down and
wAhen they finally got there they had brought a scooter, even though Linda
had ordered a wheelchair. By time I got wheels the morning session was
almost over.

That's all for this week. Tune in next week and hear about the balance
f the trip including our flat tire.

A friend of mine has had multiple sclerosis since 1973 and has been
c nfined to a wheelchair for three years. Because of a natural supplement he
his been taking, he was able to walk into church under his own power two
weeks ago. One of the minister's young sons was sitting in front of him said
"Brother. Jake, I hear you walked into church this morning." Jake replied,
"Yes, I did. Isn't God good?" The boy answered so everybody could hear.
" le sure jis.

Think of that when you give your thanks. God is surely good.'


without much discussion.

Elections Supervisor Jeff Ussery (far right) recently visited an
American Government class at Hardee Senior High School to
tell students about the duties and responsibilities of the
Elections Office. The students in Jerald Car/ton and Christopher
Neffs class also learned how to use a voting machine. Ussery
registered the 18-year-olds to vote and pre-registered the 17-
year-old seniors. Introducing the students to elected officials is
part of an ongoing effort to help them become informed citi-

and Braden River.
At Sebring last week, the Streaks

transfer Anthony LeCocq scored
on a corner kick to even the game.
Defense kicked in for both squads
for the remainder of the game.

elated at his team's good start
against a usually strong Blue Streak
squad. He was especially pleased

picked up his scores on a penalty
kick and straight shot three minutes
later.
"Unfortunately, we were wide or
high on several scoring kicks and
actually bounced one off the cross-
bar. We played better than the score
indicates," commented Kline.
. The Lady Wildcats hit a hard row
last week. Their Monday home
game against Lake Placid was
changed to 'Jan. 5 because of foot-
ball's use of the, Wildcat Stadium
field.
On Tuesday, the girls were the
opener in a double-header at
Sebring, losing 8-0 to the more
experienced Lady Streaks.

areas we wanted to from our last
game, but still need to improve in

otlense. Many of the girls are still
learning the sense of where they
need to be on the field," said girls
coach Rob Beatty.
"Sarai deLoera made some great
saves as goalie. She is still learning
and made some mistakes, but had at
least nine saves," commented
Beatty. Other starters were for-
wards Karissa Manchester, Luisa
Gonzalez and Marce Ramirez, mid-
fielders Ramona Campos, Cynthia
Briseno and Roxana Torres, stopper
Mandy Cornelius, fullbacks Ashley
Islas and Esmeralda Martinez and
sweeper Christina Badillo.
On Thursday, the girls got their
first goal of the season. Following a
corner kick, Torres got the score off
an assist by Manchester. "Also
deserving recognition for their
efforts are junior Cynthia Briseno
and junior Christina Badillo.


Briseno handled the ball a lot for us
tonight. She has great footwork.
Tonight was junior Christina
Badillo's debut at goalie and she
made at least nine saves," contin-
ued Beatty.
"As a whole, the team has made
significant progress. We are doing a
better job of spreading out on the
field. I think the girls gained some'
confidence tonight, by doing some i
positive things on the field. We are,
still improving, and will continue to
do so throughout the season with
the number of young players we are
counting on," concluded Beatty.
Players on the girls squad are
seniors Jennifer Hand, Azucena
Miranda, Manchester and Torres,
juniors Islas, Cornelius, Campos,
Briseno and Badillo, sophs deLoera
and Martinez,, and freshmen
Ramirez, Barbie Hinojosa and
Kimberly Cason.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE PERMIT

The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its intent to issue a permit to Lake Branch Dairy, 3060
Perdue Road, Wauchula, FL 33873 to operate a wastewater treatment system. The facility operates as a rotational-
hl grazed dairy. The facility is an existing dairy farm operation with a herd size of 975 milk cows, up to 258 dry cows,
30 pot herd. 50 springers and 25 bulls. The facility consists of eight (8) cooling ponds, a milking parlor and two waste
storage ponds. Manure u ill he flushed from the milk/feed barn and directed tp the wastewater treatment system. The
existing wastewater treatment system was designed based on an average of 27,500 gallons per day from barn clean-
out and includes two waste storage ponds and 150.9 acres of sprayfield for wastewater irrigation. Wastewater gen-
erated from the milk barn area travels through the sand/solid trap before it enters the first waste storage pond'
(WSP,1 0.34-acre). Wastewater from, WSP1 overflows to the larger second waste storage pond (WSP2, 0.53-acre) for'
additional treatment and detention. The waste storage ponds hold the water until it can be pumped and irrigated
onto one of to spray fields (SF1 and SF2) located on the southern edge of the dairy. The two waste storage ponds
pros ide more than sei enl day s of retention storage and are designed to contain runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event, based on a 5.8-acre production area at the milking/feed barn. Sprayfield 1 (SF1) is 58.1-acres and Sprayfield
2 (SF2) is 92.8-acres. The cooling ponds are also designed to contain runoff from the cooling pond paddocks from a
25-year, 24-hour storm event. Clean water from roof run-off is not diverted away from the waste collection system.
The facility is located at Latitude: 270 38' 35" N, Longitude: 810 38' 33" W on 7160 East County Road'Bowling Green,
Florida in Hardee County.
The intent to issue and application file are available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at Southwest District Office, 3804 Coconut Palm Drive,
Tampa, FL 33619-1352.
The Department will issue the permit with the attached conditions unless a timely petition for an administrative
hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, within fourteen days of receipt of notice. The
procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below.
A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's proposed permitting decision may petition
for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The'petition must
contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of
the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.
Undei Rule 62-110.106(4), Florida Administrative Code, a person may request enlargement of the time for filing a
petition for an administrative hearing. The request must be filed (received by. the clerk) in the Office of General
Counsel before the end of the time period for filing a petition for an administrative hearing.
Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes,
must be filed within fourteen days of publication of the notice or within fourteen days of receipt of the written notice,.
whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, however, any person who has asked the
Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of such notice, regardless
of the date of publication.
The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing.
The failure of any person to file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of notice shall constitute a waiver of that
person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida
Statutes. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the discretion of the
presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, Florida Administrative Code.
A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department's action is based must contain the following
Information: ,
(a) The name, address, and telephone number of each petitioner; the name address, and telephone number of the
petitioner's representative, if any; the Department permit identification number and the county in which the subject
matter or activity is located;
(b) A statement of how and when each petitioner received notice of the Department action;
(c) A statement of how each petitioner's substantial interests are affected by the Department action;
(d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate;
(e) A statement of facts that the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the Department action;
(f) A consise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, as well as the rules and statutes which entitle the petitioner to
relief; and
(g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely'the action that the petitioner wants the
Department to take.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition
means that the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose
substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department have the right to petition to become
a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
Mediation under Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, is not available for this proceeding. 11:17c

ump The Swam
By John Szeligo


Well Football Fans, it is a November to remember. As previously stat-
6 ed, this is always the month conference championships are won. USF
6 appears to have a chance against West Virginia for the Big East Title at the
Ray Jay on Dec.3. That same day, FSU will face Miami for the ACC title.
UCF failed to get help from Marshall against Southern Miss when the Herd
kicking game failed on three field goal misses. USM doesihave three games
to go. UCF was hoping for an upset in one of those to put the Knightsiin the
CUSA Title Game against Mike Price and UTEP. Houston delivered that
upset of Southern Miss on Sunday. The Gators? It looks like the old wait
till next year" theme in Gainesville ,
Barring some natural disaster, USC and Texas are looking more likely
to play in the Rose Bowl for the National Championship. They both have
distanced themselves from the rest of the pack in the Top 25. ,
Joe Paterno can clinch the Big Ten Championship with a win over
Michigan State.this weekend. The Nittany Lions would finish 10-1. Beware
of the Spartans. They need a win to become bowl eligible and they are at-

home.
Charlie Weis and Notre Dame will become BCS bound if they finish
with wins over Syracuse and'Stanford.
Best Coaching Jobs in 2005? Many to choose from. Charlie Weis at
ND, Jim Leavitt at USF. Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia, Larry Coker at
Miami and Mack Brown at Texas are some good choices. Top 25 Rankings?
UTEP at 9-1 is finally ranked!


Now let's look at this week's BillO' Fare. '
.1. East Carolina at Marshall-- Who could forget the Double OT
Marshall win over ECU 64-61 in the 2002 GMAC Bowl? While this game
won't be as high scoring, it will have emotional meaning. This is the 35th
anniversary of the Nov. 14, 1970 plane crash that took the lives of 75 peo-
ple, including the Marshall football team and many boosters. The Herd was
returning from East Carolina %when its plane crashed while landing at"Tri-
State Airport. The plane crash is still the worst sports disaster in American
history. In their memory, the 2005 Herd will dedicate this 35-0 victory over,
East Carolina. '
2. Cincinnati at South Florida USF will play West Virginia for the
Big East Championship on Dec. 3 in Tampa. UC is a speed bump for the
Bulls. USF 35 UC' 13.
3. Syracuse at Notre Dame Orange gels'squeezed by everyone in
2005: Notre Dame 46 S\ racuse 6.
4. Duke at North Carolina Impressive basketball rivalry, ho-hum
football gaine. UNC 34 Duke' 13.;
5. Virginia Tech at Virginia Rivalry is intense here between the Old
I Dominion's vastly different schools. The Cavaliers are noted for impressive
academic transcripts but can that win on the football field? VPI38 UVA 17.
6. Purdue at Indiana Hoosier State Rivalry will see the
.Boilermakers roll. Purdue 45 Indiana 17.
7. Boston College at Maryland BC is winning more games since
moving down to a conference with more cupcakes. The perennial fifth
place team ini the Big East will win 8 games in the ACC. Boston College 27
Maryland 21. :
8. Clemson at South Carolina Just play this rival game and keep it
civil this year. Both are going to a bowl, hopefully they learned their lesson
Last year. Spurrier becomes more of a Gamecock legend after this one. USC
33 Clemson 21. '
9. Vanderbilt at Tennessee Vols beat Memphis by four points but the,
Tigers were missing DeAngelo Williams, the nation's leading rusher. Vols
also have a 17-10 win over UAB. Maybe Fulmer should join CUSA? Vandy
27; UT 17.
10. Kentu&ky at Georgia Cats did put up points against Vandy but
this is Georgia. Dawgs will put the bite on the Cats as usual in Athens.
'Georgia 35 UK 13.
11. LSU at Ole Miss,- Tigers are in the driver's seat if they win out
in the SEC West. LSU 41 Ole Miss 14
12. Alabama at Auburn One of college football's classic rival games

Step Outdoors
With Michael Kelly
I would like to take this, opportunity to introduce myself as Michael
Kelly. I was born and raised in this county, and currently a student at South
Florida Community College and work here at The Herald-Advocate.
Some of my earliest childhood memories involved either hunting or
fishing. Over the years I have developed a true love for the outdoors and a
passion for hunting and fishing. I hope this column keeps ,ou up to date
with what is going on in the outdoor world.
Like many others, I myself have been taking advantage of the won-
derful fall weather and hunting any chance I can get. Archery started in
September, and I had many close encounters but was unsuccessful in my
efforts.
My luck changed last week on amuzzle-loading hunt at the Avon Park
Bombing Range, Driving to our hunting area, my dad, brother Jonathan and
I saw a hog and several deer already up feeding. Only seeing two does, I
began to make my way towards the truck since it was beginning to get dark.
On my walk back I heard a turkey fly up to roost. I stopped and began
to listen as a large flock of turkeys began flying to their roost about 100
yards away. I heard a noise behind me and turned around.and there were
two nice hogs a mere 20 yards away.
I picked out the one I wanted and shot. After the smoke cleared I went
over and got my hog, a fat 103-pound sow.
Last Sunday afternoon I was joined by my brother Jeremy and friend
Kevin Sanders. We got to the woods about four o'clock and.decided to ride
around for a little while. We finally made up our minds to walk through a
thin strip of woods in front of us.
I got my gun and walked to the front of the truck to wait on Jeremy and
Kevin. I looked off to my right and saw the biggest buck I haveever seen
staring tight at me about 100 yards away. I quickly chambered a round,
Sslouldered my rifle and shot. The deer turned and bolted,into the woods.
We walked to where the deer was standing, and Kevin spotted him
lying on the ground about 40 yards away. It was hard for us to believe the
size of the deer, a big heavy nine-pointer. We were pleasantly surprised to
say the least.
I guess the old saying is true about it's better to be lucky than good.

Cats Squelch Robinson 31-13


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats make a
strong showing on Friday night.
With a 31-13 win over Tampa
Robinson, the Cats have moved
into a regional semi-final game at
Lakeland Kathleen this week (see
related story).'
A pair of gutsy goal-line stands
and stellar offensive and special
teams efforts propelled the
Wildcats to victory against a
Robinson quarterback seeking to
pass the record college player Drew
Weatherford, set a few years ago.
After an exciting Thursday night
pep rally,: the Hardee capacity
crowd wvas keyed up for' Friday's
game, falling silent as the Cats
Nearly gave the ball away at the
start of the game.
Robinson won the coin toss and
deferred to the second half, giving
Hardee first offensive touch.
Kicker Delbert Alvarado put the
kickoff into the end zone and
Hardee began at its 20-yard line. As
expected, workhorse senior tail-'
back Marc Hodges got the first
three touches and a first down.
Then, a misplay by running back
Chris Rich fumbled the ball and
turned it over to Knight captain
Justin Windley.
Robinson started at' the Wildcat
30. A pass attempt. was broken up
by Cat, Chris Cook. Standout
Knight senior back Javier Arenas
made 10 yards and a first down.
Then it was tackles and sacks until
Robinson faced a fourth-and-20.
Alvarado, who had signed with
the University of South Florida ear-
lier in the day, kicked the ball high
and well over the goal posts, which
were 47 yards away. Robinson, the
Class 3A District 11 runner-up had
a temporary 3-0 lead.


Another kick into the end zone
started Hardee at its own 20-yard
line. For six minutes and five sec-
onds, the Cats moved downfield.
Hodges and Brad Gilliard ran the
ball as the offensive line pushed the
defensive line around. Jermain.
King made a spectacular one-hand-
ed catch for a 15-yard gain. It took
13 plays for Hardee to score. Rich
took the ball on the reverse. A
Benavides block sprung Rich loose
and he went 19 yards ,to the end
zone. With the Pablo Anselmo
kick, Hardee had a 7-3 advantage.
Robinson started at its 22 and
had gotten to the 33 when the first
quarter ended. A 43-yard pass'from
Marcello Trigg to Darrell Stevens
moved the Knights well downfield
at the Wildcat 22. Acouple of runs
put Tampa at the Wildcat 10.
Again, the Hardee secondary
stiffened and refused to let Trigg
complete a pass. Alvarado again
booted a field goal, this one a 27-
yarder. A Wildcat was pushed into
the kicker, drawing a roughing the
kicker penalty. Tampa decided to
go for the touchdown, but again the
.Wildcats gave a good .defensive
stand and forced Alvarado to rekick
a field goal, this only 26 yards. Ii
was a 7-6 game, Hardee clinging to
a one-point lead.
A 57-yard kick return by' sopho-
more speedster Terry Redden,
along with a pair of personal foul
calls .against Robinson, had Hardee
at the Tampa 12-yard line. A hold-
ing penalty put them back at the 19.
Hardee was about to settle for a
field goal, but another roughing the
.passer penalty took those points off
the board.. Hardee was at the
Robinson six, and Hodges went
behind Haceem Schweil into the
end zone on the first try. The PAT
kick made it 14-6.

On its next series Robinson was
forced to punt. With a dozen plays,
Hardee was within distance of the
goal line at the Tampa 20. With just
15.4 seconds left in the half,
Anselmo split the uprights for a
field-goal. Hardee had a 17-6 half-
time lead.
Anselmo continued to keep kick-
offs away from special 'teams
speedster Arenas as the second half
started. Trigg went to the shotgun
but was still unsuccessful in gener-
ating a passing attack. A 11-yard
punt gave Hardee good field pos-
session at the Wildcat 47.
Despite a 20-yard King catch
attempt, which went out/of/bounds,
Hardee was forced to punt. Within
four plays, Robinson returned the
favor. Rich took the kick on one
bounce and pulled away from the
defense for an apparent 70-yard
punt return TD. It was, however,
nullified by a penalty back at the
Wildcat.33.
So, Hardee did it the hard way,
using up over four minutes on the
clock before iGilliard bulled his
way for the final 10 yards to cross
the goal line. Anselmo made it a
2'4-6 game.
With a fair catch of 'the short
kickoff, Robinson started at its 29,
moving downfield as the third
quarter became history. Early in the
final stanza, Trigg completed a 15-
yard pass to Josh Walton for the
only Robinson TD. Alvarado's kick
made it a 24-13 game.
Hardee took the touchback to
start a series on its own 20-yard
line, eating up eight and a half min-
utes in a pass-and-run attack that
moved steadily down the ballfield.
Finally, quarterback Weston Palmer
rolled out as he was chased and
lofted a pass to Justin Woods in the
end zone. One more Anslemo kick
and Hardee led by 31-13.
Trigg got off a couple of. good
passes before Hardee pushed the
Knights backward.: With 23.2 sec-
onds left, Hardee' took over on a
failed fourth-down attempt. All.
Palmer had.tp.do. %.as take a. knee..,


Wildcat head coach Derren
Bryan said his team had accom-
plished the goals it had worked for
in practice all week, "not lose the
special teams battle, shut down the


- Robinson running game and keep
the quarterback from getting his
passes off. ."We put pressure on
him. He was not as mobile as I
thought he would be. Our offensive


line did a great job. The job the
defense ,did only allowed them two
field goals in the first half."
Palmer received the nod as

And here is the point, my

When Wilma came I went to the

there Channel 8 News came. They
interviewed me about the hurri-
canes. I told them my first ever was
Charley. That was bad and put me
out for over 10 months and now I
was happy Wilma wasn't bad and I
missed my Yorkie.
I kept getting tales that next year
will be worse and with all of us
praying it will turn around. A lot of
prayers saved us from Wilma. I
know we have 30 days 'left but


think how fast seven months is
going to fly by.
My friends call for updates, and I
thank you all for reading our paper
from Hardee, The Herald-

ZOLFO SPRINGS
Nov. 12, burglary of a conveyance on U. S. 17 South was reported.

Nov. 10, Rodrigo Paz Hernandez, 24, General Delivery, Zolfo Springs,
was arrested by Ofc. Ricky Selph and charged with DUI and no valid
license.

Nov. 7, a residential burglary on E. Seventh Ave. was reported.


The fall season is upon us, and the pineland areas of the park are burst-
ing with the colors of fall. Bright yellows, whites and lovely purple flow-
ers can be found dancing in the breeze among the flowering grasses.
It's a fabulous time to run or bike ride on our off-road bicycle trail.
Deer are munching acorns all over the park and several bucks have been
seen in the historic orange groves. While searching for them, be sure to
check out the newest interpretive exhibit in the park. Created through a
cooperative effort with the Highlands County Historic Preservation
Commission, the Friends of Highlands Hammock and the Florida Park
Service, this new exhibit highlights the first settlers on this property nearly
150 years ago. You'll love the circa 1900 photos of the park that showcase
these families of long ago.
Fall isn't the only thing happening here, though. Nov. 5 was our 20th
annual Civilian Conservation Corps Festival. Just over .3,000 people came
to enjoy the wide variety of music, the antique and classic cars, arts & crafts
vendors, exhibits, safety demonstrations, wildlife, food and more.
This Saturday, the Friends of Highlands Hammock will host the next
"Music in the Park" concert with the super-popular California Toe Jam
Band. Nearly 500 people came out last year to enjoy the family-friendly
'50s, '60s, and '70s music. Dancing is encouraged, bring your,lawn chairs
or blankets to sit on, and bring a flashlight, too. Concert admission is just
$5 per person, and remember that children age 16 and younger are always
admitted free to our concerts.
Thanksgiving week starts Sunday with our second Community Drum
Circle of the season. Join musician/artist Fred Leavitt and learn some neat
rhythms while you make some new friends. The Drum Circle is included
with your regular ,park admission of $4 per vehicle, and the Primal
Connection often brings extra instruments you can use.
The holiday week continues with a 7:30 a.m. start to the Friends of
Highlands Hammock's annual Turkey Trot-5-K race. Why not start out
turkey day with a calorie deficit? Join us and run or walk the park's shaded
loop so you'll have room for an extra slice of pie. Early registration is sug-
gested and entry forms are available on our Web site:
www.FloridaStateParks.org/highlandshammock or at the Ranger Station.
As you can see, there is a lot to do at Highlands Hammock State Park
in the upcoming weeks. We hope to see you and your family at our events
and seasonal programs, which will also begin very soon.

COURTESY PHOTO
High freshman Mark Biron has a special interest in the game of chess. He used that ability Nov.
5 when he competed in a scholastic tournament sponsored by the St. Petersburg Chess Club.
"When I arrived I was amazed at how many people were there. The tournament was well orga-
nized and started on time," said Mark. The tournament was for students from kindergarten
through 12th grade. Biron competed in five games and won a medal for Hardee High. St.
Petersburg Chess Club leader Andrew Scherman said it was good to see someone from Hardee
County represent his school. "I will definitely go again. It was a great experience," said Mark. The
next tournament is scheduled for Dec. 3.

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.

Letter To The Editor

Diagnosis, Treatment Helped

Zolfo Lady With Hepatitis C


Taking the field for the Mitey Mite Blue were Chauncey Rivers, Ty Trammell, Bobby Taylor Jr.,
Dakota Caldwell, Frankie Coronado, Kyle STone, Jesse Sconyers, Adrian Briones, Brandon
Rivera, Daryl Mashburn, Christopher Lee, Eliseo Sanchez, Dustin Goodwyn, Gilbert Garcia,
Dalton Baker, Colten Howell, Arnelle Carlton, Marco Briones, Robert Sconyers, Shawn Organ,

Joshua Ussery, Tyler Pella, Keifer Kedzior and ,Dylan Norwood, who were coached by Frank
McClelland, Bobby Bragg and Robert Sconyers.


Dear Editor,
It has been a few weeks since I
last wrote to you about my ordeal
with Hepatitis C. The last letter fin-
ished with telling my husband
Fuzzy of my illness.
At that time the Hepatitis C virus
was not in the active mode. It is not
as easily passed to others in this
stage as it is when the virus, is
active, and damage to my liver was
very minimal.
So, this gave me time to search
for a doctor and to arrange medical
care and acquire a way to pay for
the treatments, when necessary, I
was very lucky in finding all I
would need, and it was none too
soon either because, the virus
became active the end of 2000.
My treatments for the Hepatitis C
started in 2001, which is one form
of the many chemotherapy treat-
ments available for a number of
diseases, but only one kind used for
Hepatitis C (there are more treat-
ments available now than there
were in 2001).
My treatments lasted for 12
months, and I was one of the lucky
ones. It was successful, and the
hepatitis was in remission. I have
been in remission for three years
now and considered to be non-con-
tagious.
However, there is one problem,


with chemotherapy. There are
many side effects. However, I can
deal with them. I'm alive.
I greet each new day thanking
God and Fuzzy for giving me the
desire and the will to keep going. I
could not have done it without
either of them and the many friends
I didn't realize I had. God Bless
them all.
I try to greet everyone with a
smile and an open heart. Being
faced with my own mortality made
me look at life a lot differently.:
Given a second chance really
opened my eyes.
Please, let everyone know they
should get a complete blood work,
through there doctor or donate
blood. All blood that is donated is
screened and tested for a number of
diseases, and each person is noti-
fied by mail thanking them for the
donation and will let them know of


any irregular findings within 10 to
14 days.
Plus, donating blood is free, and
it is a good way to help others, not
only yourself. (Fuzzy gets regular
testing for Hepatitis C, and to this
date has always tested negative.
However, he is not allowed to
donate blood since he is married to
someone who has had the disease.)
If anyone needs to contact some-
one about Hepatitis C please call 1-
800-891-0707 or http.//www.-
hepfi.org (available in English,
Spanish, French, Italian).
Thank-you for printing my letters
and if I helped at least one person I
will be forever grateful to you.
Gob bless,
Roberta Meyer
