Youth Football Finishes Season ...Photos 6,7D REGIONAL SEMI-FINAL TOMORROW NIGHT! ...Story 1B Community Pep Rally Draws Crowd ..Photos 8B The 105th Year, No. 49 4 Sections, Pages 40 I Thursday, November 17, 2005 Herald-Advocate Hardee County's Hometown Coverage 46s plus 4c sales tax 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 See MURDER 2A Barrington S-Oak Street Park Improvements Begin "- COURTESYY PHOTO The street-wise Eliza Dolittle becomes a lady in the popular musical "My Fair Lady," performed by the Hardee County Players this weekend and next.

'Music In The Park' 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. Families are encouraged to bring See MUSIC 2A By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate 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.

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. Go To The Head Of The Class! :SCHOOL NEWS DEADLINE IS THURSDAY AT 5 PM. YOU Can Appear In ...

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.

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. YOU Can Appear In...

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.

By JOAN SEAMAN 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.

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 intake; eating a variety of vegetables, fruits and grains; three or more daily servings of whole grains; curbing sweets ana sodium; getting adequate servings from all the food groups; and no more than one drink of alcohol a day. None of the women had a perfect score, but 20 percent met at least six of the nine standards. Compared to those who practiced four or fewer of the recommendations, the healthy-habit group developed 15 percent less can- cer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 915 N. 6th Ave. Pet Care 773-6783 Wauchula Center S11 :17c i COURTESY PHOTO Mary Escoto (left) and Carrie Esquivel (right) of Hardee Junior High School will perform as "Lady E" this Friday night at Hardee Manor Healthcare Center's annual "Watch The Stars Come Out" Kidz Talent Show.

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."'

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." 1 He added.

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.

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 Sheriff's Seminar sponsored by the y Back When Florida Sheriffs Association Nov. 13-15 in Tallahassee.

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.

Hardee is in Class 4A, District 10, along with Avon Park, Sarasota Booker, Palmetto, Sebring, DeSoto and Braden River. At Sebring last week, the Streaks scored first, taking a 1-0 halftime edge when Juan Melon smacked a shot from 40 yards off, which. glanced off a defender into the goal: Wildcat goalie Francisco "Paco" Lozano would not allow another score. In the second half, Wildcat senior transfer Anthony LeCocq scored on a corner kick to even the game. Defense kicked in for both squads for the remainder of the game. Wildcat coach Ron Kline was elated at his team's good start against a usually strong Blue Streak squad. He was especially pleased with the footwork and passing of his younger players. The Cats are without their other seniors Jose Salvadore and Arturo Briones, and juniors Pablo Anslemo and Andrew Cisneros, presently in the football playoffs. Other juniors are Alberto "Chico" Rodriguez, Jose Alonzo, Johnny Huron, Lozano, Cris DeLaRos,' Jose Gutierrez and Felix Roque.

"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. "We improved somewhat in areas we wanted to from our last game, but still need to improve in moving the ball up the field on CHANGING FOCUS 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 I I November 17, 2005, The Herald-Advocate 7B Girls And Boys Soccer Action At Sebring.

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.

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.

November 17, 2005 PAGE ONE 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. IAMESTATISTICS .

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 See CATS 3C Chris Rich (14) put the Wildcats in front to stay with 19-yard first-quarter score.

Jeremiah 31 35 (NCV) FRIDAY And here is the point, my friends, which you must not lose sight of: with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thouSand years like one day. It is not that the Lord is slow in fulfill- ing His promises, as some' sup- pose, but that He is very patient with you, because it is not His will for any to be lost, but for all to come to repentance. II. Peter 3:8-9 (NEB) SATURDAY Those who know your Name will, trust in You; for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek Psalm 9.10 (NIV) SUNDAY If we deny Him, He also Will deny us; yet, if we are faithless, . He, always remains faithful. He cannot deny His own nature. II Timothy 2: 12-13 (PME) MONDAY God' is not a man, that He should, change. He doesn't change His mind like humans do.

Remember, there are things men consider perfectly splendid. which are detestable before God." S Luke 16:15 (PME) WEDNESDAY Doom to you who call evil good a'nd good evil.

I met some wonderful people while living in a FEMA trailer at the Wagon Wheel RV Park. They came during the winter so ,in Michigan there's Mary Ann and Frank and in Ohio there's Carmilla and Tom \ ho gel this paper. It tells them %%hat is going onto what stores are back open and the new ones. " When Wilma came I went to the shelter with my mother, and while 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- Advocate. God bless. Millie Freeman Wauchula were reported. ZOLFO SPRINGS Nov. 12, burglary of a conveyance on U. S. 17 South was reported.

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. 10 HOURS A MONTH! That's all it takes to .speak up for a child.

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. City aL T !Auditorium, 225 E. Main St. qatidoj. pIcuepiVIbeA 17. 2005 7:00 pv 2utidaj.

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.

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 Zolfo Springs, FL YOU Can Appear In ... Poet's Place Are you a poet?
