Three stray calves went looking for their mothers on Tuesday morning, causing a bit of disruption and stopping traffic on U. S.
17. The calf shown above was cornered off Orange Street between U. S. 17 South and U. S. 17 North. Another was caught at
Wildcat Stadium and the third behind Hardee Junior High School. The owner, Oscar Ortiz, returned them to the pasture just west
of the Adult Education building on West Main Street.

Despite last week's firing of the
interim town clerk, resignation of
the mayor and hasty departure of
all office staff, the doors to the
Zolfo Springs Town Hall are open.
And volunteers are determined to
keep them that way.
Town Hall doors closed for
roughly 45 minutes on Tuesday of
last week, when Marilyn Aker
locked them to go deliver her letter
of resignation to Town Council
Chairman Roger Green. Green
rushed to Town Hall and reopened
them by noon.

They closed again on Tuesday of
this week, as Green traveled to the
county Supervisor of Elections
Office to arrange a special election
for a new mayor. Still, the doors
were open for most of the day.
And they will be, he promises.
Green, who is now serving as
interim mayor, and Roberta Meyer,
a council member who is now serv-
ing as interim clerk, man the offices
daily, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's vol-
unteer work for both retirees.
But they have plenty of help.
Green said countless town resi-
dents have shown up at Town Hall

Vouchers and computer access
for the needy are coming to Hardee
County.
The twin programs are part of the
Heartland Rural Health Network
Inc. (HRHN) and Florida Heartland
Rural Consortium, which recently
received grants to help the home-
less, handicapped and needy.
Vouchers for the homeless are to
provide medical care. The comput-
er access is to help coordinate
information on physical and mental
health, social service needs and to
enable local citizens to enroll in
several financial and service pro-
grams.
The HRHN motor coach will be
in the county on Tuesdays. From 9
to 11 a.m., it will be in the lot at
Pete's Pharmacy, 457 Carlton St.,
Wauchula. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
it will be in the Elks Lodge parking
lot at 318 W. Main St., Wauchula.
Nurse Bea Walsh will interview
homeless people to determine their
medical need and amount of vouch-
er needed for primary, or.basic
medical, care at such facilities as
Central Florida Health Care or Tri-
County Human Services for mental
health, alcohol or drug abuse, or
behavioral problems. Over 14
providers and 600 clients are now
on line in the Heartland and HRHN

hopes to add more Hardee
providers. Walsh can be reached at
www.hrhn.org or phone 863-452-

Street and Florida Avenues in
Wauchula. Check-in begins at 7
a.m. at the YMCA across from the
Junior High and the race begins at 8
a.m.
Walkers and runners will loosen
up with stretching exercises at the
flag pole at the Junior High, then
head south on Florida Avenue.
They will turn west on Stenstrom
and then north on Hanchey Road.
From there, participants will turn
east on Main Street'and continue
until reaching Ninth Avenue where
they will head south to Orange
Street. They will then turn west on
Orange Street and finish the route
at the YMCA. There will be securi-
ty for participants.
Those wishing to participate in
the 5K are asked to pre-register by
Friday, Feb. 17 by contacting Hess
at 773-4161 or via email at
erin_hess@doh.state.fl.us.
Participation is free.
All who pre-register and who
complete the race route will be
entered to win prizes such as a 52-
inch HDTV and a round of golf for
four. Awards will be given to the to
overall male and female in each
category for the 5K race, Hess says.
The health department will also
be offering a hip hop aerobics class
Saturday after the walk at the
YMCA. The demonstration is free.
Hardee County will hand off the
fitness flag to Polk County on
Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.
Community members will gather in
Bowling Green and walk approxi-
mately one mile to the Polk County
line.
The Florida Department of
Health adopted a new slogan this
year for the "Step Up Florida!" pro-
gram which is "60 A Day The
Florida Way" to encourage
Floridians to implement the United
States Department of Agriculture
dietary guidelines. The guidelines
suggest. 60 minutes of physical
activity a day to manage body
weight and prevent gradual weight
gain, says Hess.
Only 18% of adults in Hardee
County report engaging in regular,
sustained physical activity at least
one day a week. Hardee County
was even mentioned in this month's
issue of "Florida Trend", a Florida
business magazine, for being
among the most obese counties in
the state. Because of statistics like
these, the Hardee County Health
Department encourages all resi-
dents of Hardee County to set goals
to improve their health and well-
ness, .
Studies have proven citizens
engaged in health promoting habits
are less likely to develop the chron-
ic conditions of coronary heart dis-
ease, stroke, cancer, chronic lower
respiratory disease and diabetes
which together account for 62.4%
of all causes of death in Hardee
County.
It's time to change the statistics
and take the first "step" towards
healthy living by making the most
of next Saturday's opportunities.

Monday, April 3.
To run for mayor, a candidate
need only be 18 years of age or
older, a resident of the town for at
least six months and a registered
voter in the town.
The qualifying fee is $54.
The new mayor will be paid the
standard $150 a month, but will fall
short of the. usual two-year term,
instead only finishing out Aker's
unexpired term, which is due to end
in October.
Qualifying packets can be picked
up at Town Hall, 3210 U.S. 17 S.
Also on the work agenda for
Green is preparations for a referen-
dum vote of the people to switch
the town's form of government
from strong-mayor/council to man-
ager/commission.
Meanwhile, there are utility bills
to mail, records to find, posting to
complete, bills to pay, phones to
answer and more.
"We were hemorrhaging. We got
the artery clamped. Now we've got
to clean up the blood," Green com-

f)
mented.
Utility bills are an example.
Meter readings, apparently, have1
not been done in months. Bills have'
been estimated. But, for February,'
'Green has initiated what he called a'
"Forgiveness Month." Everyone
will pay just the minimum, or
$52.45.
"Basically, we're just starting4
from scratch," he. explained. "W&
have to have a baseline to startG
with." After this month, residents
will be having their meters read
regularly, and all bills will reflect
true and actual readings, Greert
promised.
All in all, he and Meyer the.
office staff say it is working. ?
"That's what Americans do,"
said Green. "We don't quit and we
work together."
Green concluded, "I want to
thank the residents of Zolfo'
Springs. Thank you for your help.'-
Thank you for trusting us. And,
remember, keep the faith."

to offer assistance. So many, he
said, he cannot list all their names.
Regular helpers, however, include
Lois Dandridge, a former town
clerk and mayor; Juan Otero, a for-
mer town fire chief; Maggie
Belcher, a council member;
Chequetta Cook, a resident; and
spouses Terrin McKelvey-Green
and Fuzzy Meyer.
On the payroll are Linda White,
who works as a part-time secretary,
and Linda Roberson, the town's
former finance director who left for
another job but now helps out dur-
ing her lunch hour and after work.
That aid is invaluable, Green
noted.
"Linda is the most honest,'
straight up bookkeeper I know,"
Green said from behind a desk at
Town Hall late Tuesday afternoon.
"She knows her Cracker Jacks.
I'm amazed at the extent of her
knowledge."
Dandridge, too, has proved
priceless.
"She has a wealth of knowledge
concerning the town," Green
added.
The town was left in this position
following a volatile meeting on
Monday night of last week.
Interim town clerk Preston Colby
was fired. Residents and Town
Council members also called for
Aker's departure.
By Tuesday, they had it. Aker
resigned.
So, Colby was gone. Aker was

THE HISTORY OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH
,,Eyery year in February we observe Black History Month, and for too.
many Americans that's all that it is history..
...Take a moment to consider the fact, that the great, upheavals that
marked the civil rights struggles of the 1960s took place a full 40 years ago.
For those of us who lived through that tempestuous period, who cried over
its sorrows and exulted in its triumphs, it seems like yesterday. But many
others maybe even a majority of those around us were either too
young to remember those events or hadn't even been born yet. For them,
especially, Black History Month comes along at an opportune time.
We owe Black History Month largely to the initiative of one remark-
able man. His name was Carter Woodson, and he was born to parents who
had themselves been slaves. After spending many childhood years work-!
ing in the Kentucky coal mines, he finally enrolled in high school at the age
of 20.
He didn't stop there.
Ultimately, Woodson went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University,
specializing in history. What he found in the history books, though, frus'-
trated and angered him: black people and black achievements were virtual-
ly ignored.
He answered that challenge in the finest Christopher tradition.
Rather than merely complain about it, he took positive action. In 1915,
he established the Association for the Study of Negro Life & History, and
a year later founded the Journal of Negro History. Then, to widen the circle
of those he sought to enlighten, in 1926 he launched "Negro History
Week," a celebration every February that would reach out to people across
the country. That eventually evolved into Black History Month, which we
continue to commemorate today.
Obviously, Black History Month is about a lot more than the struggles
of the '60s. But for many, that decade a decade, really, of long-delayed
revolution will always be a focal point.
I remember especially being swept up in the excitement of the March
from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., its drama caught nightly on our black
and-white television. I was proud, I recall, that so many Catholic priest.S
and nuns were among the marchers, visible evidence that the Church waS.
taking a stand for justice. (I didn't know him at the time, but one of my
predecessors as director of The Christophers Father John Catoir, then a
newly ordained priest of the Diocese of Paterson, N.J. was one of those
who marched.)
The Selma march, in the late winter of 1965, was organized to protest
a crackdown on black voter registration, one of. the countless indignities
that black men and women in the South had to endure. Marchers had bare-
ly left the town of Selma before Alabama state troopers attacked them.
Some troopers were on horseback, others knocked people down and beat
them with clubs. All over the country Americans were watching, just as
our family did in Minnesota. They were shocked and unbelieving, as we
were, but the marchers did make their point.
Their sacrifices that day provided the impetus for the landmark Voting
Rights Act that was passed that summer, ending with one sweeping piece of
legislation all of the foul practices that had denied African Americans the
right to vote for so many years.
It's all there in the history books, and Black History Month is there tb
remind us of that and so much more. I'm not sure if Woodson realized that
the "Negro History Week" he set in motion 80 years ago would one day
have such a far-ranging effect. But millions of Americans, black and white
alike, are in his debt. Count me among their number.

Hardee boys basketball is in Class 4A-District 10 playoffs in Sebring
this week. The Cats started Tuesday evening in a game against Avon Park.
the Cats have been playing with more intensity and left it all on the court
ih a 46-36 victory over Lake Placid last Thursday night. A win on Tuesday
night would put the Cats playing on Friday at 6 p.m. (in Sebring) against
the winner of Monday night's DeSoto-Braden River game. (They cannot
llay on Thursday as the Sebring girls are hosting a semi-regional game
after winning the district championship last week). The boys district cham-
pionship game is 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The Hardee girls trip through district competition was short-lived as
the Avon Park Lady Devils handily ousted the Lady Cats with full-court
pressure throughout the game and reserves only playing in the final minute
of the one-sided game. Hardee seniors Kim Cummins, Thelicia Jena, Joia
Jones and Santresa Harris played their final game as Lady Wildcats.
Hardee junior high hoops ended Thursday with both the boys and girls
team winning over Heartland Christian. The boys also won a thriller 49-48
over Hill-Gustat Middle School last week. Several of the eighth grade boys
and girls will go on to high school ball next year.
It's time now for junior high volleyball, which starts March 2. Former
Hardee standout and All-American Kim Crawford, now head volleyball
coach at South Florida Community College, will bring her staff to the Joel
Evers Gym at Hardee Junior High on Feb. 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. for a mini-
camp to help players get ready for the season.
Several high school sports are also getting started. Boys baseball is at
Fort Meade tonight (Thursday) and tomorrow for 4 p.m. pre-season games
against Auburndale and Fort Meade. The Cats also play 7 p.m. games on
Monday and Tuesday at Lake Wales against Haines City and Lake Wales.
Additional games will depend on wins and losses. The regular season starts
at Sebring on Feb. 21 in a double-header, the JV at 4:30 and the varsity at
7 p.m
Lady Wildcat softball started on Tuesday at DeSoto. Softball is usual-
ly double-headers with the JV at 5:30 and varsity at 7:30. The first home
game for the Lady Cats is today (Thursday) against Sebring. Home games
are at the Recreation Complex field, just north of the high school, which is
set aside for high school softball.
Boys weightlifting hopefuls are working hard under the watchful eye
of first-year coach Hacam Shweil, who has been to state and knows what it
takes. The regular season for Cat weightlifting starts March 7, as Shweil
started late in arranging schedules and could not get as many meets this
year.
Hardee tennis teams start Tuesday at Palmetto. Coach Ken Leupold has
a blend of experience and new faces to weld into boys and girls squads.
Dixie youth baseball is moving along for the tee-ball tots, machine

UNUSUAL HORSES AND COWBOYS
I mentioned in an article last week that Matt Condo was a gifted ath-
lete and he would have been successful in almost any sport. Along the way
I ran into other cowboys who had unique abilities and one of those was a
guy we called Mousy.
His real name was Ogden Mayer, and he had grown up in Miami but
had managed to leave there and finagled a job as a cowboy at Babcock
Ranch.
It always amazed me that he fit in so well because he really didn't have
a background, but he had one unique trait that made him really special ...
he was such a great athlete on the ground.
There are guys who are great on horseback, great ropers, great cutters
and great this or that, but in a set of cowpens Mousy had no equal, and he
had the unique ability to run along the top of the cowpens like a squirrel.
He was really like a mongoose around the cow pens, and I never saw
a cow touch Mousy except one time he was shutting the gate into the hop-
per. The pen was full of cows and he had his back to them and one kicked
him in the butt. We had to stop working to give the crew time to laugh. The
best cow crew in the world will do anything to save you when you are get-
ting "Cow Caught" after they stopped laughing.
Sometimes we would go down to Babcock Ranch to castrate horses,
and of course they had never been touched until they were three or four
years old so they were really wild. One time we were trying to worm some
of them, and there was one colt that was raring up and pulling away. Mousy
did something I had never seen anybody do before.
He reached up and wrapped his arms around the horse's neck and
threw one leg over the back of its neck and just hung on.
The horse fought and pulled and pulled and fought, but I guess he final-
ly realized he couldn't throw Mousy off so he just quit. I had never seen
anybody else do that before because normally a horse would have just
cleaned him off with his front feet. Mousy had just managed to put himself
in a position where the horse couldn't touch him with his front feet and
hung 6n till the horse pitched his fit then just gave up and stood there all
sulled up and we proceeded to tube him.
There are times when horses didn't buck very well in.Pat Hansel's
string of bucking horses. Most rodeo stock are really just soured saddle
horse that have made up their mind they aren't going to tote a man, but Jake
Hansel, Pat's brother, used to ride one of those horses in the rodeo string.
Nobody else could do anything with him, but Jake not only rode him but he
used to "pick up" in the rodeos.
Jake brought that horse by the clinic one day for me to float his teeth.
I put a speculum in his mouth, which is a big brass halter-type thing that
goes in a horse's mouth, kind of like a bit. When you crank it down it snaps
and pops the horse's mouth open so you can float a horse's teeth which
involves grinding the sharp points off the teeth.
I was about 29 or 30 then, and Mrs. Hansel was there and several other
ladies. Young men tend to show off, and I was no exception. I was floating
that horse's teeth and some of the time all four the the.horse's feet, plus both
of mine, were off the ground, but I managed to get it done without getting
hurt.
I never forgot the story because it was such a serious breech of judg-
ment. As I got older and wiser I quit doing things like that.

Step Outdoors
With Michael Kelly

Over the weekend I had the opportunity, along with my father, to take
my youngest brother Jonathan and his friend Grayson Lambert on a youth
duck hunt. The state has added a special youth only waterfowl season to
encourage more kids to try duck hunting. This hunt was put on by a num-
ber of organizations including Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl, the staff
of T.M. Goodwin waterfowl area, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Consevation Commission as well as many volunteers.
The purpose of having this hunt was to introduce kids to the sport of
duck hunting. Jonathan has done some duck hunting over the years but
Grayson was on his maiden voyage.
We left town about 1 o'clock on Friday and drove to the T.M. Goodwin
waterfowl management unit just outside of the town of Fellsmere, about 10
miles from the east coast.
Along with the hunt there was also a camp-out. When we arrived we
set up our pop-up camper. Everybody else there was in tents and we were
glad we had a camper with the rainy weather.
Shortly after dark they had a catered barbeque dinner for everyone
there. After we ate, they had a professional story teller entertain the youth.
Since we had to wake up at 3:30 a.m. we went to bed early.
Around 11 p.m. we were awakened by the howling wind and rain beat-

ing against the side of the camper. Now I was really beginning to feel sorry
for the people in the tents. The next morning we found out that the winds
actually broke some of their tent poles and collapsed the tents.
After getting very little sleep it was time to get up for breakfast. It was
still raining and windy, so I knew it was going to be a rough morning. At
4:15 in the morning they had a hot breakfast of eggs, ham, grits, biscuits
and gravy, potatoes and coffee for all the participants.
After breakfast we were.paired up with a local hunter who would act
as a guide, taking us out on his airboat. My dad and Jonathan went on one
boat and I went on another with Grayson. Our guide was a retired fire-
fighter from the area who said he wanted to give the kids a good experi-
ence. These volunteers showed some extreme support and dedication get-
ting up at 3 o'clock in the morning to go out in the rain and cold for some-
body they had never even met before.
After launching the boat we hunkered down for the ride to where we
were going to hunt. It was fairly cold but the wind and rain made it feel a
lot colder.
Once we arrived we set out some decoys and our guide drove his boat
up into some willow bushes. When it began getting daylight the ducks
started flying and one teal lit in the decoys. After a few seconds it started to
fly off; Grayson shot and it fell back to the water.
About a minute later he got another teal. There were quit a few ducks
flying in the rain and wind but they seemed to be lighting down about 150
yards away. There were, however, a lot of coots using our area to keep
Grayson entertained. He ended up with two ducks and three coots.
When we got to the boat ramp we met up with my dad and Jonathan.
They hunted about a half-mile from us and had some good luck as well.
After getting their airboat stuck, they all had to get out and try to push
it out of the ditch it was wedged in. After about 10 minutes they finally got
it out -and were able to continue on their way.
Jonathan's hunt started out a little slow but he was able to get four
ducks, one teal and three ringnecks.
After the hunt they had a hot lunch waiting at the headquarters. All the
hunters were given a duck call and won prizes given out in a raffle draw-
ing.
Overall, it seemed like everyone had a good time even though they got
wet and cold. Even though it was hard for me to just sit and watch, I had a
great time watching everybody else get to hunt.
It was a great event put on by everyone involved. It is very important
to expose kids to hunting and fishing. If you get a chance, the next time you
go, take a child hunting or fishing so they too can enjoy the outdoors.

Tennis Starts Tuesday

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The 2006 Hardee boys and girls
tennis teams get their season under
way at home on Tuesday.
Coach Ken Leupold has a huge
group vying for spots on the teams
and will have playoffs between
them as they gear up for the Feb. 14
home opener at 3 p.m. against vis-
iting Palmetto.
The addition of a championship-
size court at the Wauchula Oak
Street Park will enable the Cats and
Lady Cats to accommodate visiting
teams in much better fashion.
Junior Josh Ready and seniors
Walter "Boomer" Olliff and John
Paul Barton are top returnees for
the boys squad and will probably
fill the top three spots on the boys
squad. Seniors Brenton McCleni-
than, Robbie Jones and returnee
Kevin Sanders and junior Casey
Brutus may "have the inside track
to fill the rest of the spots, but a lot
of boys are improving quickly,"
said Leupold.

Others coming out for the boys
team are sophs Logan Nickerson,
Drew. Macias and Shane Conley
and freshmen Isaac Vasquez, Joe
Porter, Taylor Lambert and Jake
Crews.
On the girls side of the ledger,
top returnees are seniors Kelsey
Williams and Rebecca Durrance,
junior D. K. Davis and soph Natalie
Green. Other girls working hard are
junior Stephanie Knauer, sophs-
Latika Williams, Leanna Himrod
and Sarah Ezelle, and frosh
Marcela Ramirez, Amanda Porter,
Kaitlin Justice, Shelby Durrance
and Clara Durrance.
"None of this is set in stone. If
some of the new players put in the
time it takes to beat some of the
returners, they will take their
places," concluded Leupold.
This year Hardee is in Class 2A
District 9, along with. Avon Park,
Sarasota -Booker, .Braden River,
DeSoto, Lake Placid, Palmetto and
Sebring.

J.R. Prestridge also brought a new
proposal to commissioners last
week. He related a phone conversa-
tion with DOT liaison Susan King
offering the county $981,651 under
the SCRAP (Small County Road
Assistance Program) funding
because another county had
dropped its project planned for this
year's monies.
Prestridge said repaving of
Goose Pond Road was the next on
the county's SCRAP list of pro-
jects. The amount of money avail-
able will do only the 5.1 miles from
Experimental Station Road to CR
665. It will provide 200 pounds of
asphalt per square yard, 18 inches
of sod on each side and re-striping
of the road, said Prestridge.
"Call them back and tell them
YES," said Commissioner Dale
Johnson.
"What about if culverts- need
repair?" 'asked Commissioner
Minor Bryant.,
"We will check them and do
them in-house, by our staff,"
responded Prestridge.
"It's not often *we get such
SCRAP monies, go for it," said
Commissioner Gordon Norris, in
whose district the road is.
"There are no strings attached
-except the dates. We have to have it
completed by June 30, 2007," said
Prestridge, adding that he wanted to
match the segment of road with the
amount of available dollars. "The
extra 1.5 miles from the
Experimental Station to CR 663 is
in better shape. DOT has already
evaluated this for the next SCRAP
project, so there's no problem," he
concluded.
The commission unanimously
approved accepting the extra fund-
ing.
Prestridge also said the Road and
Bridge Department is still doing

confusion on the bids, and I think
we should rebid in all fairness, and
use a more consistent description of
the project," said Carver.
-approved three job descrip-
tions for the new utility department
which will handle water and sewer
services the county provides from
the Vandolah and Wauchula Hills
plants. The new job titles are Utility
Director, Utility Superintefident
and Utility Office Manager.
"The positions were approved in
the budget meetings but the
descriptions hadn't,' said County
Manager Lex Albritton. "Only one
is aboard; Park Winter is doing
everything from meter reading,
billing and negotiating contracts."
Commissioners and Albritton
agreed that it would be premature
to fill the other positions until the_
services grew enough to need them.
Presently only commercial billings
are needed for Crystal Lake,
Orange Blossom, the college, the
new school and County Manor
Apartments. When residential cus-
tomers at subdivisions planned for-
Bostick Road and Torrey commu-
nity, Wauchula Hills community
and the 100 homes on Vandolah
Road, a billing official will be
needed.
-approved a contract to install
hurricane shutters at Zolfo
Elementary School, which is one of
the approved hurricane shelters
-approved an agreement for
work squads from Hardee
Correctional Institution.
-approved an updated list of
contractors and services for the
county's various housing programs.

The Cats had a hard time last
Tuesday against Class 6A Lakeland
High, which came in ranked llth in
the state with a 17-4 record. The
Dreadnaughts feature Jordan Prais,

"We could have played with
them; we did the first quarter, when
neither team played great. But we

start to lose energy, and somehow it
transfers from us to them. Our con-
centration slips and we lose focus,"
said Dickey.
The Cats and 'Naughts went at it
in the first quarter with little advan-
tage. Lakeland was up 15-12 as the
first period ended. Lakeland went
on a tear, collecting 19 points while
holding Hardee to just 11 in the
second stanza to lead 34-23 at half-
time.
It was the disastrous third quarter
which made the difference. Hardee
was held to just four points, while
Lakeland poured it on. In the final
period, Lakeland coach DeRon
Collins substituted fairly often,
while continuing to pile up points
for the 74-39 win.
Prais topped Lakeland with 17
points, despite sitting out a while
after earning a technical foul.

Demetrius Baldwin added 13
points and Ahmad Black had 11.
For Hardee, junior King was
high man with a dozen points,
including two-of-two at the free
throw line. Jena, Virgile and St.
Fort each added a half dozen, Louis
five, Redden three and Jones one-
of-two at the foul line. Tyrone Pace
and Trey Smalls did not, score.

Then it was time for the game to
begin. '
Louis and Green Dragon Jovanni
,huler squared off. Green won the
ip and had first crack at the ball but
urned it over to the Cats. It was 90
seconds before either team could
score. Jena took a pass from Jones
.and nailed a trey. It was another
three minutes before Yurri
;Robinson got two points for Lake
Placid.
SThe Dragons took a lead when
'Shuler got a shot and free throw.
MRobinson hit again to make it 7-3.
That lasted 20 seconds before
,Redden sank a trey from the corner.
'Robinson rebounded a Josh Hickey
Shot and Redden got a deuce. A
Hardee shot went off the rim as the
buzzer sounded with Lake Placid
i'head 9-8.
SHardee took the lead for good
early in the second quarter when
-Pace put the ball in the hole. Next,
;King drove baseline and dished to
I:Redden for a long deuce. When the
ball went around the perimeter and
Seeded in another Redden shot,
.Hardee was up 14-9.
SQuay Crenshaw and.St. Fort
traded points. Redden took a bad
Dragon pass and went all the way
dow n the court for two points. By
'halftime, the Wildcats were up 27-
:I8.
SJones canned a three-pointer to
open the second half. Shuler
,aswered with a trey. Each time the-
,snior-laden Dragons would make
a- run, Hardee would respond in
Kind. The Cats led 36-28 at the
three-quarter mark.
: There was a dry spell for both
"teams to start the final quarter. At
the 4:45 mark, Robinson rebound-
'ed a Shuler shot to cut the Hardee
"advantage to 36-30. King got a
jumper in the key. Virgile stole the
"ball, threw to Jena and on to Smalls
for a deuce. Hardee was up 40-30.

There's lots of people in this
world who spend so much time

Cherry Loses Tough Fight

By MICHAEL KELLY
For The Herald-Advocate
Hardee boxer Edner Cherry fell
just short of a victory Saturday
night in El Paso, Texas, losing a 12
round unanimous decision to Jose
Santa Cruz.
Cherry said Monday "It was a
great fight, a tough fight. He was
tall and used his arms to keep me
outside. He gave it all, I gave it all."
In the first round Cherry came
out swinging, taking the fight to
Cruz. The second round seemed to
be a draw. In the third Cherry con-
nected on a short left hook sending
Cruz crashing to the mat. This was
the first time Cruz had been
knocked down in his 23-fight pro-
fessional career.
The middle rounds seemed to be
controlled by Cruz who kept
Cherry at bay with his long arms,
not letting him get inside. In the
eighth round, Cherry came on with
a explosion of punches sending
Cruz back to the ropes and almost
sending him down once again.
Rounds nine-12 were back and
forth, with it hard to tell which
fighter was doing more damage.
With no knockouts, the fight had to

go to the judges. "When it ended, I
felt it was close," said Cherry. The
officials scored the bout 114-113,
115-114 and 117-110 for Santa
Cruz.
The difference in elevation both-
ered Cherry a bit. "I waS breathing
hard in the dressing room before
the fight. My throat was dry. In the
.third round, I was real weary, but
seemed to get past that in the next
rounds. Later in the rounds I got
stronger."
Cherry said Showtime wants
both fighters back, saying it was
"the fight of the year." Cruz
declined Cherry's request for a
rematch so his next fight will be
against someone else.
Cherry plans to take this week off
to recuperate and enjoy his family,
wife and 13-month old son. He still
has three title belts which he has to
defend at least every three months.
His record now stands at 19-4-2.
Cherry thanks "Hardee County
for supporting me, and my boss,
Denise Miller for giving me a few
weeks off."
Staff writer Joan Seaman con-
tributed to this report.

able to convert only 10-of-18 from
the free throw line. Avon Park
made only three-of-10.
It was a defensive nightmare for
the first few minutes. No one
scored until nearly midway through
the first period, when Beonca
Godfrey scored for Avon Park.
Within seconds Hardee junior
Christina Jena nailed a jumper to
make it 2-2.
It wasn't long, however, before
Avon Park began to bull its way
into the basket. D. K. Davis kept
Hardee in the game with a pair of
free throws, but Avon Park forged
to an 8-4 lead with 1:25 left in the
quarter. A Shantavia Sims shot
made it 10-4 as the first period
ended.
From there, it was all downhill as
the Devils trapped and double-
teamed Hardee players trying to
bring up the ball. By halftime, Avon
Park was up 29-10. Despite the
scoring difference, the Lady Devils
continued full-court pressure with
the taller Sims getting frequent
offensive and defensive rebounds
for her squad.
When it was 43-12 after three
quarters, Wildcat coach Don Gray
emptied the bench and gave the
reserves some playoff experience.
The game ended with Joia Jones,
Santressa Harris, Ciara Lambert,
Sabrina Holmes and Paige Avery
on the floor. Avon Park kept the
press on and the starters in until the
final minute of the game when four
subs finally took the floor.
When the scoring difference
passed the 35-point mark, it
became a running clock for the
final minute, meaning the reserves
actually had less than a minute in
the game.
Daija Barrett led Avon Park with
14 points and Sims had 10.
For Hardee, Christina Jena was
high with seven points, Davis had
three, and Holmes and Kim
Cummins each had two points.
Cummins, Thelicia Jena, Harris
and Jones played their final game
for the Lady Wildcats. Expected
back are juniors Christina Jena,
Davis and Lambert, soph Gloria
Solis and freshman Avery, who had
just come up from the JV a couple
of weeks ago.
Avon Park went on to lose to
Sebring in the semi-finals. Sebring,
ranked fourth in the state, beat
Palmetto on Saturday night for the
district championship.

TIMELY RAINS
Significant rains fell over the Panhandle and across the Peninsula near
the end of the week of Jan. 30-Feb. 5. Timely rains arrived to help decrease
the wildfire potential in several Peninsula areas. Rainfall totals in the
Panhandle and northern Peninsula ranged from over one inch to over three
inches in most locations. Citra and Tallahassee received over five inches of
rainfall. In some central and southern Peninsula localities, precipitation var-
ied from over an inch to over four inches. Alachua received nearly nine
inches of rainfall. Tampa recorded the most precipitation, with a little over
nine inches of rain.
Temperatures at the major stations averaged from one to five degrees
above normal. Daytime highs were in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Cool evening
lows were in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, with Quincy recording at least one
.low inthe 20s.
FIELD CROPS
Harvesting of sugarcane in the Everglades region is active. Recent
rains improved soil moisture supplies in most areas but more rains are need-
ed. Soil moisture in the Panhandle and northern Peninsula is rated mostly
adequate to surplus. Suwannee County reported short to adequate soil mois-
ture supplies. Topsoil and subsoil moisture in central and southern
Peninsula areas is short to mostly adequate, with a few. pockets of surplus
supplies.
VEGETABLES
Substantial rains near the end of the week slowed field work. Despite
rains last week, growers in Gadsden County continued land preparation for
spring crop plantings. Suwannee County producers are preparing land for
spring crop watermelons. Producers marketed snap beans, cabbage, egg-
plant, lettuce, squash, strawberries and tomatoes. Light supplies of sweet
corn, celery, endive, escarole and peppers were also available.

Senior Citizen News
By Jim Walton

What a ball we all had Thursday evening at the Catheryn McDonald
Senior Center in Wauchula. It Was the most in attendance so far this season
to come and listen or dance to beautiful music. We got to meet some neW
friends this time as well as to welcome some old friends, especially Dave
and Georgiana from the Oasis at Zolfo Springs.
We were pleased to have with us two fine dancers, our dear friends Mr
and Mrs. Luman Whittern who are now celebrating their 60 years of mar-
riage. They were World War II sweethearts while Mr. Whittern served with
the U.S. Navy in The Pacific Theater of Operations. The band played "The
Anniversary Waltz" just for them as they danced together on the dance
floor. They received a standing ovation of applause from the audience.
What an honor for them as well as those of us present to witness this!
Since Thursday evening was the closing of "The Groundhog Day" cel-
ebration, a number had to be thought up to remember the Groundhog if he
had seen his shadow Thursday morning or not. So someone suggested the
beautiful song and dance number, "Me and My Shadow." So sure enough,,
the Three Note Band gave us its lively version of that number. However, iij:
didn't awaken "Mr. Groundhog" from his six more seeks of slumber, but
sure enlivened all of us dancers as though it was already the first day of
spring. .
The band then hit up with "Memories," "Mexicala Rose" and the coun-
try artist Eddie Arnold number "Make The World Go Away." Then it was
"Sunny Side of the Street," "My Blue Heaven," and then closed out for
break with the hot Dixie jive number "Sweet Georgia Brown."
During the break we all enjoyed snacks that were prepared by our dear
friend and hostess Darleen from Crystal Lake RV Village. Then Darleen;
had the evening's door prize drawings, won this time by Tom, from Crystal :
Lake as well as Earl, also from Crystal Lake. Then Jerry from The Wagon,
Wheel gave us some of her comedy "one-liners" that brought lots of laugh-
ter.
Then the band .it up again with more fine music that provided fine
dancing and singing for the remainder of the evening. The closing numbers
were "Heartaches," "Dark-Town Strutter's Ball," and "A Shanty in Old
Shanty Town." The final number of the evening was a World War II num
ber that sort of brought back sad memories, especially for those of us tha
were veterans of that war or any war. It is entitled "There Will Be Blu
Birds Over The White Cliffs Of Dover.'"
Our next entertainment of music and dancing at the center will b j
tonight (Thursday) Feb. 9. Please try and attend. Tell others, bring friends
this next gettogether will be our Valentine's party. Our hostess said this wil
be real special! Wear something red and white if you wish.

Cops For Christ
By Barry L. Schnable
Hardee County Sheriff's Office Sergeant

BE GRATEFUL!
Hello again, fellow Christians! I have been away for some time, some
due to the holidays but a big part was from having surgery on my right arm.
(I'm right-handed, by the way.) It was in a brace for three weeks, and then
it took a few weeks to get it working again after being held in one position
for so long.
I knew going into this procedure that God was going to have a lesson
for me. I learned several things during my recovery I thanked God, first of
all, that I have no limitations. I found a deeper respect for those of you who
are challenged daily with a missing limb, no hearing, no sight or whatever
it is that you have to deal with. Mine was only temporary. I couldn't imag-
ine what it would like to know it would be permanent.
I learned that no matter what you go through, He will be with you and
see you through it. I definitely learned patience and to certainly appreciate
the people who love me, especially my wife. My wife is a wonderful per-
son; she was with me from the time I went into the operating room till sev-
eral days after. I was basically helpless until I learned how to function with
only one arm.
The Bible tells us to leave our mother and father and to become one in
marriage, and for the wife and husband to love each other as much as Christ
loves the church. I know there have been times I have taken my wife for
granted and did not show her how grateful I was for all she does for me. I
learned that I needed to show her every day how much I love her and how
grateful I am for her in my life.
The rest of my family was great also, my two beautiful girls, my mom
and my sister. I thank God every chance I get for the family He provided
for me, and He did provide this family to me. You see, when I was a few
months old, the mom and dad that I have always known adopted me. God
gave me this family since I didn't have one. I was raised in a Christian
home with loving, caring parents that chose me. They didn't have to adopt
me they chose to adopt me, and that means a lot.
A couple years ago my father died, and I was proud to be a part of him
being involved in church and having a real relationship with God before he
passed on. I'm very grateful for having such a wonderful father who taught
to be a good and decent person, to be honest and to always take care of fam-
ily.
I have a great job at the Sheriff's Office, for the past 17 years.
As you can see, I have so much to be thankful for it would take me sev-
eral pages to list them all. I am not a rich man, money-wise, but we have a
nice house and nice things, and I know that there are people out there who
have less than me. I am certainly grateful for what I do have and not envi-
ous of those who have more than me.
In all this I hope to convey to you that God gives us many blessings
and we should never take any of them, no matter how big or small, for
granted. After reading this I encourage you first to thank God for all you
have in your life, tell your loved ones how much they mean to you and
count your blessings not your failures or misfortunes.
God bless all of you. Start this new year out with God in your life.

Termites Are Swarming!

It is that time of year again. If you find that these little bugs
have invaded your home, please give us a call. Since 1998,
The Heartland Bug Doctor has treated hundreds of homes
here in Hardee County for these subterranean termites and
we have had no retreats. The reason is simple. We use the
best chemical, we mix it at the proper rate, and we put it
everywhere it belongs. The reason termite treatments fail is
one or more of these 3 factors are compromised in order to
get the lowest price. We never compromise and we always
kill the termites. If you.find swarmers in your home, call us
and use this ad to get $100 off of the treatment of your home

WE WENT TO THE POOL

AND SKATING IN ZOLFO'

PHOTOS BY JIM KELLY
East side mural shows citrus trees and sandhill cranes, two common sights in Hardee County.
Murals were painted by artist Terry Smith of Land 0' Lakes. He uses acrylic paints and then
applies two layers of clearcoat. The murals were commissioned by Wauchula State Bank.
Wauchula Mayor David Royal, bank chairman Bill Crews, Terry Smith and bank president Bob
Hanchey. Smith later this year will paint murals in South Carolina, Palatka, Lake Wales and
Wauchula.

By VICTORIA ARREOLA
Special To The Herald-Advocate
My interview is on Diane Conerly.
Q: What year were you born?
A: I was born on Oct. 16, 1939.
Q: Where were you born?
A: I was born in my house in Zolfo
Springs.
Q: How much do you remember from
your early childhood?
A: I remember Elvis Presley and Pat
Boone. Me and my brothers used to make-
up games, fight and argue. My friends used
to go with me to the Zolfo pool. We used to

Lookin' Back
walk down the road behind the den (now
it's the Pioneer Restaurant). We used to go
skating around the Zolfo Civic Center.
We had no electricity and used to drive
around in a pink truck. I used to get in trou-
ble a lot and my mom used to tell me, "If
you ain't gonna learn, shut your mouth and.
let others learn." She also made me practice
the piano after school.
Q: Did you attend school? If so, what
age?
A: Yes, I started at age 5 and went 'til 17.
Q: Did you have chores when you were
young?
A: Yes, I had to help wash, can food for
winter, and shell the corn for chicken feed.
Q: What did you do in your spare
time?
A: We went to the drive-in theater with
my boyfriend. Novell Conerly was his
name, and he became my husband.
-**

Q: How did you dress?
A: We wore poodle skirts with crinoline
under them, saddle-oxford shoes and but-
toned up shirts. All clothes were handmade
by my mom.
Q: What was your most memorable
moment?
A: The year I made an F in citizenship.
We used to put plungers inn lockers, chew
gum and other stuff.
One day we were studying Indians in
Mrs. Simmons class and I thought it's be
funny to paint my face like an Indian. She
gave me the spanking of my life.
Q: Who were your friends?
A: I had one named Annabel, Twilah,
Diane, Caroline.
Q: What was your favorite meal?
A: Dinner time; it used to be called sup-
per, but now it's dinner. We used to kill our
chickens, cows, pigs, and churn our own
butter.
Q: Did you ever drink alcohol? If so, at
what age?
A: No, I tried a cigarette or two, but
never any alcohol. I knew my daddy would
chop my head off.
Q: What do you miss most about your
childhood?
A: Just being around my family. My
brother was my best friend. We used to just
sit on the porch at night.
Q: How many family members do/did
you have?
A: Four kids (two sisters, one brother,
mom, and dad). My oldest sister is named

SEEDS

M.ihael Guido
herter, Georgia

It was reported that two zoo
attendants were searching for an
escaped monkey.
They found him, sitting on a
park bench, reading two books.
One was the Bible. The other was
Darwin's Origin of the Species.
"What's he doing?" asked one.
The other answered, "He's
trying to decide whether he's his
brother's keeper, or his keeper's
brother."
I'm glad I came from the Master
and not a monkey.
When God produced man, He
didn't cause him to evolve from
some lower form of life. His
creation was something new. The
Bible says, "God created man in
His own image."

'T7aere seems to be a continual search for the "fountain of youth".
SWe seek out a kinds ofways to keep or minds and bodies
Youthful. We look in nutrition stores and health spas; we
explore cosmetic procedures that hold the tides of time at bay. We
searchfor ways to keep relationships renewed.
What keeps the loveofa long married couple fresh and "new"?
If asked, they might tell you that each still sees the other as the
handsome young man and the beautiful young woman who they fellin
love with so long ago. Lasting love is forever young.
"Praise the Lord, ... who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed..."(Psalm 105:5). Visit your house of
worship this week and praise the Lord with your beloved. Satisfy your
desires and renew your youth!

Violet, then Mary, then Jim, then me. I'm
the baby. Carlton is my maiden name.
Q: Did you have boyfriends or go on
dates?
A: I started dating when my daddy let
me, at age 16. Never any steady boyfriends,
just dates. Until I met Novell.
Q: Did you read books when you were
young?
A: Yeah, I don't remember what I read,
though. We usually read comic books.
Q: If you read, what book was your
favorite?
A: No favorite book. Don't remember
titles; it's been a long time since I read.
Q: Who was your favorite person?
A: I guess my friend Caroline.
Q: Did you have any pets?
A: Yeah, we had a dog named Simon. He
was a cur dog, one of my daddy's cow
dogs.

Q: Were you thin or chubby in your
early childhood? Why?
A: I was thin; always outside.
Q: What jobs did your family members
have?
A: My mama was a school teacher; my
daddy was a farmer. He grew corn and was
a cowboy. Violet was a school teacher. I
never worked for pay. I went to cosmetol-
ogy school, but that was a long time ago.
Q: How much was the'pay?
A: I don't have any idea, that was'so-long
ago. My aunt used to make candy called
taffy. Candy or sodas were usually a nickel.

Letter To The Editor
Hardee Native Bill McCall
Coached 3 Current NFL Stars

Dear Editor,
I recently shared with you sonie
information concerning my late
friend Bill McCall. Bill graduated
from Hardee High School in 1957
and received his degree from
Southern State in Magnolia, Ark.
While 'channel surfing a few
weeks ago, I came upon the NFL
channel, and they were interview-
ing a defensive end for the New
York Giants named Osi Umeniorya
(hope the spelling is correct).
The interviewer asked if it was
true that Osi had been born in
London. Osi replied that was cor-
rect. The interviewer then asked
how he had wound up in the U.S.,
and Osi related that his father had
sent his sister to school in Alabama
and later decided to send Osi.
The next question was how did
you get into American football? Osi
replied he was sitting in the hall
next to the coaches' office and Bill
McCall walked by, threw him a jer-
sey and said "come on." That start-
ed his very successful career.
I have since learned that Bill had
on that high school team two other
NFL stars who are presently
starters, Demarcus Ware of the
Dallas Cowboys and Marcus
Washington of the Washington
Redskins. Marcus was recently
named the MVP for one of
Washington's playoff games.
In addition to his tenure at
Auburn, Ala., Bill coached at the
following locations: Eau Gallie
High School, Hardee High School,
University of Kentucky, Fort

Freda's Foibles
By Freda B. Douglas

ji-.'
-

God touched the world and left His fingerprints of love.

Let us continue with my synopsis of Jeff Keller's book, "Attitude Is
Everything." Note that this material is being used with permission from the
author.

Lesson 2 You're A Human Magnet
Are you ready for the key to success? Here it is: We become what we
think about.. If you constantly think about a particular goal, then you'll take
steps to move toward that goal.

Lesson 3 Picture Your Way To Success!
You may still hold a vibrant image of being criticized by a teacher in
school. You felt humiliated in front of the whole class. Later on, when you
were tempted to offer your opinion in school or a group of people, you held
back and kept quiet ... all the while remembering (even if only on a sub-
conscious level) how painful it was when you were criticized. The picture
remains in your mind and exerts tremendous influence over your present
action.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
It's extremely powerful to formulate images of successful outcomes,
and to run them through your mind. But there's another technique that you
can use to accelerate your success. You can create visual aids to move you
toward what you want.
In 1990, while he was virtually unknown, Jim Carrey, comedian, wrote
a check to himself for $10 million for "acting services rendered." The check
was postdated Thanksgiving 1995. As Carrey explained, it wasn't about the
money. He knew that if he was making that much, he was working with the
best people on the best material.

Lesson 4 Make A Commitment, And You'll Move Mountains
What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it
becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he
knows exactly what he wants and he is fully determined not to quit
until he finds it.
-Alexander Graham Bell
When you make a commitment and are willing to do whatever it takes,
you begin to attract the people and the circumstances necessary to accom-
plish your goal.

Lesson 5 Turn Your Problems Into Opportunities
Yes, you'll probably face a period of uncertainty or struggle, but there's
always a flipside to the difficulty. You see, a "problem" is often not a prob-
lem at all. It may actually be an opportunity. For instance, a problem may
point out an adjustment you can make to improve certain conditions in
your life. Without the problem, you never would have taken this action.

Lesson 6 Your Words Blaze A Trail
Your words have incredible power. They can build a bright future;
destroy opportunity or help maintain the status quo. Your words reinforce
your beliefs ... and your beliefs create your reality.

Well, friends, that's my review for this week. See you next week with
more of "Attitude Is Everything."
Be a winner, then. Know that God loves you and sees you as special and ,
unique in all the world. Rejoice in all that you have been given. Find joy in
all that you do. Give love freely and unconditionally. Help everyone you
can. Make this world a better place just by being in it.

WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE?
I came across this story recently:
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the exam-
ination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the
other side."
Veryiquietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You 'don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the
other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came
a soind of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang
into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He' -
never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew
nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, hq
-sprang in without fear.. I know little of what is on the other side of death
'but I do know one thing ... I know my Master is there and that is enough."
Often it is prayed after the example of our Lord, "Our Father who is in
heaven. Hallowed be your name" (Matthew 6:9)! That is enough for me. I
don't need to know what is in heaven. I don't need to know what is coming
before the end of the world. I don't need to know what to expect, I'm not
scared of death because it is the unknown. I might not know much about it
but I know that my Lord is there and that is enough for me.
"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for" and I am assured that my
Father is in heaven waiting on me as the father waited on the prodigal son.
I will go to Him as a fault-fraught human being and He will place a robe on
my shoulders and I will sit at the feast at His table. I will go and see myn
Father, my King, my Creator, and my Redeemer.
And that is enough for me! I'm Telling the Truth!!

2 Teams Battle In Minors

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Rain was not the only thing that
upset the Minors division baseball
last week.
The previously unbeaten Vols
Cubs took a pair of losses during
the week, falling behind the C&B
Cattle Yankees. The Yanks are at 6-
1 and the Cubs at 6-2.
Behind them are the Florida Fuel
Devil Rays, Ullrich's Pitcher Pump
Red Sox, Pete's Pharmacy
Athletics (A's), Wauchula State
Bank Braves and Dr. Timothy
Ellis-sponsored White Sox.
There were two games scheduled
last Monday evening, one on each
field.
On field 1, the Red Sox edged the
Braves 4-3.
For the Red Sox, Dustin
Goodwyn circled the bases twice
and Zack Battles and Roby Paris
each came home once. Cody
Spencer, Tomas Gomez, Dakota
Caldwell, Paris, Battles, Kenneth
Vargas and Keith Powell were left
on the basepaths.
For the Braves, it was Wyatt
Maddox, Reed Woods and Austin
McClellan coming around to cross
home plate. Kendall Gough,
Garrett Albritton, Austin Stoner
and Chris Lee were stranded.

Meanwhile, on Field 2, the
Yankees crushed the Devil Rays
15-4.
Luke Palmer tripled, doubled and
singled for the Yanks. Eric Klein
was the only triple-tally batter.
Palmer, Bembry Wilson and Tyler
Helms chipped in with a pair of
runs apiece and Jacob Bolin, Dylan
Salas, Cain Roman, Patrick Carlton
and Ryan Ramirez each added a
run.
Dalton Reas, Luke Winter, Abel
Esquivel and Blake Vermilye each
came around to score for the Devil
Rays. Kris Johnson and Winter
were left on the bases once each
and Taylor Griffin singled twice
and was stranded each time.
On Tuesday night, the A's upset
the Cubs 10-5.
German Figueroa had a three-
score night to lead the A's. Omar
Alamia chipped in with a pair of
scores and Austin Altman,
Armando Alamia, Aaron Briones,
Frank Farias and Jake Deanda
added solo scores.
For the Cubs, it was David
Gibson with a pair of runs, and
Jordon Jones, Tyler Hewett and
Steven Crews with single trips
around the bases. Mason Gough,
Hewitt, Crews, Gibson, Bradley
-Brewer and Glen Ellis were strand-

ed a pair of times.
For the Thursday game between
the A's and the White Sox, there
was no scoresheet, but a notation
indicated the A's won the game,
perhaps by a 1-0 forfeit.
On Friday, the teams waited out
early showers to get their games in.
On Field 1, the Braves nicked the
Devil Rays 4-3.
Gough, Maddox, Albritton and
Stoner scored for the Braves.
Stoner had the heavy hit with a
double. Caryssa Johnson was
stranded.
Reas, Griffin and Vermilye
scored for the Devil Rays. Kris
Johnson, Winter, Esquivel, Tim
Perkins and Mikey Heine were left
on base.
Over on Field 2, the Yankees
squelched the Cubs 17-5.
Palmer homered, doubled and
.was safe on an error for the
Yankees. Bembry scored four
times, Palmer and Klein three times
apiece, Helms and Salas each twice
and Bolin, Roman and Carlton once
each.
Gibson came around to touch
home twice for the Cubs. Hewett,
Brewer and Dylan Norwood
chipped in with a run apiece. Jones,
Norwood and Adam Ramirez were
stranded.

A Daily Thought

THURSDAY
But now the Lord Who created
you, 0 Israel, says, "Don't be
afraid; for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name and
you are Mine. When you go
through deep waters and great
Trouble, I will be with you.
Isaiah 43:1-2a (TLB)

FRIDAY
(Jesus said), "I am the vine, you
are the branches. He who
abides in Me, and I in him, he it
is that bears much fruit, for apart
from Me you can do nothing."
John 15:5-6 (RSV)

SATURDAY
When you cross rivers, you will
not drown; when you walk
through fire, you will not be
burned. This is because I, the
Lord, am your God, the Holy
One of Israel, your Savior.
Isaiah 43:2b-3'(NCV)

SUNDAY
In no one else (but Jesus) can
salvation be found. For in all the
world no other name has been
given to men but this, and it is by
this Name that you must be
saved.
Acts 4:12 (PME)

MONDAY
That's how much you mean to
Me! That's how much I love you
... so don't be afraid. I'm with
you.
Isaiah 43:4a, 5a (ME)

For there is one God, and also
one Mediator between God and
men, Christ Jesus, Himself man,
Who sacrificed Himself to win
freedom for all mankind.
I Timothy 2:5 (NEB)

WEDNESDAY
So that you may know and
believe Me, and understand that
I am He. Before Me no god was
formed, nor will there be one
after Me. I, even I, am the Lord,

Savior.

PERSON OF THE WEEK
Harry Gould is the artist who
carved our beautiful dolphins
across from the rec hall. Harry is
from Dryden, Mich. He retired from
Chrysler. Harry and his wife, Joyce,
have been married for 43 years.
They have one son and three grand-
children.
The Goulds chose our park five
years ago because it offered both
woodworking and woodcarving.
After taking a woodworking class
over 10 years ago, Harry found an
avocation both fun and interesting.
Harry is talented in many different
kinds of carvings and his home is a
showplace for his talent.
How the carving of the dolphins
came to be: Everett King asked
Harry if he would carve something
out of a tree in his yard that was cut
down and an eight-foot stump was
left. Harry said he had never carved
anything that big, but was willing to
try it. Harry used a chainsaw to
carve the rough outlines of the dol-
phins, then a chisel and mallet to
define them, and then a grinder to
smooth them. The dolphins will be
covered with a sealant to protect
them from the Florida heat.
Harry is not interested in selling
his works of art; he gives them to
family and friends to enjoy. Classes
are Monday at 1 and Friday at 9.
Join Harry there.

Faults are thick where love is
thin.

To Your Health!
By Erin E. Hess
Hardee County Health Department

BE HEART SMART
Thanks to increased media awareness, women now realize that heart
disease is not just a man's disease. In fact, it is the number one killer of
American women, regardless of race or ethnicity.
Each year, some 500,000 women die of cardiovascular disease. That is
more than the total number of women killed by all forms of cancer, includ-
ing breast cancer, combined. Nearly one out of two women will eventually
:die from heart disease or stroke. Yet, many women are unaware of the many
ways they can protect their hearts.
As February is American Heart Month, it is a good time to take a look
at your lifestyle to determine what you can do now to keep your heart
healthy in the future. Incorporating simple steps into your life, such as a
healthy diet and regular exercise, can help women reduce their risk for heart
disease and stroke.

Don't Smoke
Your chance of having a heart attack doubles if yoi smoke as few as
one to four cigarettes per day, and increases six-fold if you are a heavy
smoker. If you stop smoking, your risk of heart attack drops by 50 percent
within one year, and after five years your risk approaches that of nonsmok-
ers.
Regular exposure to smoke from someone else's cigarettes is also bad
for your heart and lungs. If you live with someone who smokes, encourage
him to quit.

Be Physically Active
Get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as
brisk walking, on most, and preferably all, days of the week. In several
studies of middle-aged and older women, those who walked briskly for at
least two to three hours per-week or burned an equivalent amount of
energy through more vigorous exercise cut their risk of coronary heart
disease by 30 to 40 percent.
Exercise doesn't need to involve a structured workout session at the
gym; incorporating several short bouts of activity into your daily routine
(eg, taking walks during lunch or coffee breaks or using the stairs instead
of the elevator) may be sufficient to obtain the recommended amount of
activity. The use of a pedometer may also encourage daily activity. Aim for
10;000 steps per day. In addition to aerobic exercise, consider strength
training (ie, exercising with arm and/or leg weights) for 20 minutes two to
three times per week to maintain a healthy body weight and to further
reduce heart disease risk.

Eat A Heart-Healthy Diet
Include in your diet a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-
fat or non-fat dairy products, fish, nuts and other sources of protein low in
saturated fat such as poultry and lean meats.

Maintain A Healthy Body Weight
Aim for a waist circumference of less than 35 inches. To measure your
waist circumference, hold a tape measure at the level of your navel and cir-
cle your torso with it. Be sure to measure below, not at, the narrowest part
of your abdomen.
Losing just five to 10 percent of your body weight favorably affects
cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and other risk factors for heart dis-
,ease. For most women, reducing food intake by 500 calories per day, in
:combination with 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, will
result in a weight loss of one to two pounds per week. Controlling calories
is best achieved by reducing portion sizes; minimizing snacks, desserts and
sugar-sweetened beverages; limiting high-fat foods; and increasing fruit
;and vegetable intakes.

Know Your Numbers
Schedule and keep appointments with your primary healthcare provider
to monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides (a
type of blood fat), .body mass index, and waist circumference on a regular

basis.
In many instances, adopting the heart-healthy behaviors outlined above
will go a long way toward achieving these goals.
For example, poor eating habits and excess weight gain are leading
causes of type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar), a disorder that is becoming
increasingly common in the United States. Left untreated, diabetes can lead
to a heart attack, stroke or other debilitating disease. Indeed, women with
diabetes are three to seven times more likely than women without diabetes
to develop heart disease. If you have diabetes, diet, exercise and medication
are essential to regulate your blood sugar level.
Both heart attacks and strokes stem from coronary heart disease. Stroke
is the number three killer of Americans and a leading cause of serious dis-
ability. Consequently, it is very important to reduce risk factors, know the
warning signs and know how to respond quickly and properly at the onset of
symptoms.
Heart attack signs include chest pain, shortness of breath and discom-
fort. Stroke symptoms include sudden pain or dizziness, especially on one
side of the body, loss of eyesight and severe headaches. If you or someone
else has any of these warning signs, do not wait. Immediately call 9-1-1 and
get emergency medical help.
