Crews

Found Guilty Of Murder

A.7# Jurors Unanimously Agree He Killed Sondra Barrington

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Thomas Crews killed Sondra
Barrington, a jury of six decided
late Tuesday afternoon in Bartow.
It took the three-woman, three-
man jury nearly 3-1/2 hours to find
Thomas Jessie Crews Jr., 41, of
Zolfo Springs, guilty of second-
degree murder in the Oct. 10, 2002,
disappearance of Sondra Denise
Barrington, 20, of Bowling Green,
whose body has never been found.
And it took 20 minutes between
the time the jury indicated it had
reached a verdict to when a bailiff
led jurors back into the courtroom
to announce their decision. Mean-
while, court officials established
security procedures to ensure the
jury, the Crews family and the
Barrington family could separately
and safely exit the Polk County
Courthouse and return to their cars.
During that time, the emotion in
the 8th-floor courtroom was palpa-
ble. Barrington family members -
who fought to maintain their com-
posure over the course of the
seven-day trial openly wept in

SImpact Fees To

'Come On Jan. 1

By JIM KELLY
Qf The Herald-Advocate
: Impact fees from a low of $3,700
to a high of $150,000 are under
consideration.
SThe Hardee County Commission
will meet today (Thursday) to vote
'on advertising a public hearing on
the impact fees to help fund capital
projects for future growth.
SCommission Chairman Nick
Timmerman expects the commis-
sion to vote to approve impact fees
but how much the fees will be are
yet to be determined. The commis-
sion has to give the public 90 days
notice before adopting impact fees
for new housing, businesses and
industrial projects.
The commission, with Commis-
sioner Gordon Norris absent, met in
a workshop on Friday morning to
hear an impact fee draft study pre-
sented by Patricia Steed, executive
director of the Central Florida
Regional Planning Council.
SMany other counties in Florida
i'alreadN have impact fees, she said.
i; She presented some proposed
rpaximum impact fees excluding
school impact fees for Hardee
county. She noted the commission'
kould approve a percentage of the
suggested maximum impact fee.
In her report, the maximum-
Impact fee for a single family home:
or under 1,500 square feet would
U

be $4,559, $5,257 for 1,500 to
2,499 square feet, and $5,716 for a
home over 2,500 square feet.
The maximum impact fee for a
new mobile home would be $5,321.
The maximum impact fee for an
apartment dwelling would be
$3,716.
Non-residential maximum im-
pact fees were recommended, such
as $54,160 for a 10,000-square-foot
business, $124,650 for a 25,000-
square-foot retail store and
$150,000 for a 100,000-square-foot
industrial building.
Timmerman announced a public
hearing will be held on impact fees
on Oct. 13 at 8:30 a.m. The matter
will be discussed in "nuts and
bolts" on Oct. 19, he said.
Timmerman indicated impact

waves of release with just the
knowledge that a verdict had
arrived. Crews family members
grew visibly tense and focused as
they awaited the result.
Circuit Judge J. Dale Durrance
issued a stern warning to all, noting
he would not tolerate any outward
reaction to the jury's verdict. No
crying. No shouting. No throwing
hands into the air. If family mem-
bers could not control their emo-
tions, they needed to leave the
courtroom now, before the jury
reappeared, Durrance told them.
None left.
Thomas Crews watched jurors
file back into the courtroom. His
eyes remained on them as the fore-
man noted they had reached a ver-
dict, and handed it to the bailiff. His
eyes lingered on the jury before
shooting over to the- judge, who
was now reading the verdict hand-
ed to him by the bailiff.
Durrance then passed the form to
the court clerk, and asked her to
announce the verdict. She stood as
she read "guilty of second-degree
murder."

Sgt. Eric Baker (top) was Injured in explosion.
Brother Pfc. Lee Carter is also in Iraq.

Durrance individually polled
each member of the jury, asking if
the verdict announced was the ver-
dict he or she had reached. All
agreed it was their verdict..
Crews stood next to his attorney,
Assistant Public Defender Mel
McKinley, as the verdict was read.
He never broke his gaze or showed
any reaction.
After jurors were ushered from
the courtroom, the judge ordered a
pre-sentence investigation into
Crews' background, and set his sen-
tencing for Friday, Oct. 20, at 8:30
a.m.
Durrance ordered Crews remand-
ed without bond until that time, and
Crews was escorted out of the
courtroom. He glanced briefly at
family members as he walked past
them, and gently shook his head.
Bailiffs then cleared the Crews
family from the courtroom. Later,
the Barrington family was escorted
out.

Soldier Wuunded

In Iraqi Bombing

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
A 2000 Hardee High graduate was burned in an
explosion at an Iraqi police station.
Sgt. Eric Baker, son of Wayne and Barbara Carter
of Wauchula, was on assignment with the Bapm-hold-
er, Germany-based Task Force 1-6 on Aug. 21 when
an explosives-laden truck was detonated. The soldier
received second- and third-degree burns to his back,
neck, headband right arm.
He remained in Iraq with daily dressing changes at
the Camp Blue Diamond compound while continuing
his duties as a police transition leader, part of the mil-
itary police program.
Insurgents use frequent attacks on police stations
and Iraqi police as a method to deter would-be Iraqi
police but that has had the opposite effect, reports the
Sept. 19 issue of "Stars And Stripes," which featured
a picture of Baker amid a story of the police station in
the Jazirah region near Ramadi. Baker was in the
police compound when the fire bomb went off.
According'to the story, the attacks have only

wants to thank every one for their
prayers and support. Although this
is a difficult time for both families,
my family is pleased a verdict was,
handed down by a jury. It's not just
us who believe in Thomas' guilt, it
was a jury of six who are impar-
tial."
Shirley Barrington said, "I am
glad after four years that justice has
finally been done." She talked of
the long road the family traveled in
seeking justice for Sondra. "I'm so
glad we dotted every i and crossed

She spoke of the difficulty of lis-

For The Herald-Advocate
On Friday, the annual Home-
coming parade will take to Main
Street.
The Student Council of the high
school has selected the theme of
"Hollywood" for this year's
Homecoming. The glamour of the
west coast hub will certainly be
present in the floats' decorations.
In the evening, the Hardee
Wildcats will challenge the Sebring
Blue Streaks, with halftime devot-
ed to selection of the Homecoming
Queen and her court.
"We really wanted to do some-
thing more glamorous and to do
something different than years past.
The classes have chosen movies for
each of their floats," said Ashley
Islas, student body president the
parade will begin at 2:30 p.m. in
downtown Wauchula. It will start at
the field behind the former junior
high school and then will turn east
onto Main Street. From there, it
will progress and turn south on
George Burris Avenue, the old Fifth
Avenue.
The parade will go on for a block
and then turn west on Orange
Street. It will go to Florida Avenue,
turn north and return to the former
junior high parking lot.

"The only thing different from
last year is that everyone will be
entering on the water tower side of
the field, this will help out with the
flow of traffic," said coordinator
Jamie Rewis.
According to Rewis, in addition
to the four classes of the high
school, Hilltop Elementary, Hardee
Future Farmers of America and
Hardee Manor Care Center will be
entering floats in the parade.
Among those walking will be
Wauchula Elementary and the
Student Council of Hardee Junior
High. Several business around
town will also be participating.
During the parade the class floats
are judged based on participation,
school spirit and how the float
relates to the theme. The winner of
the competition gets bragging
rights for the rest of the year.
Starting at 7 p.m. the pre-game
show will begin at Wildcat
Stadium. The freshmen, sopho-
more, junior and senior floats will
circle the track to kick the game
.,off.
The student body votes on a
senior girl as Homecoming Queen

Baker is quoted as "being shocked
and proud at the same time," as
Iraqi police officers refused to
budge or take refuge in the
American camp, raising a new Iraqi
flag on their station's scorched
flagstaff within hours of the attack,
even while they began repairs to
the station.
Both Baker and Carter, a 2004
Hardee grad, went into the Army
directly from high.school. Carter is
in the tank division, while Baker
was a combat engineer before join-
ing the military police.
Baker's wife, the former Susan
Renee Santos, and their four-year-'
old daughter Ayrica, are on a two-
month visit to Wauchula from their
home in Germany near where her
husband is stationed. Carter hopes.
to return to Fort Hood, Texas in
November.
Their mother recalled Monday,
"It's been a pretty rough year." She
spoke with Carter on Sunday, one
of their weekly contacts. "Only
eight more calls until I get to come
back," he told her. Barbara Carter is

school, while husband Robert
Wayne, is a 22-year career survey-

Teachers, coaches and others
who have known these young men

Girls leave the blocks for one of many events. Hardee swimmer (in first lane), appears to be
ahead or even with several competitors.

Swimmers Continue To Excel

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee High swim, teams contin-
ue to lower their times. ,
. Coach Dick Daggett said last
week that swimmers on -both the
girls and boys squads are ahead of
last year at this time. "They are
lowering their times as we
approach districts. I anticipate sev-
eral going on past district competi-
tion," Daggett said.
The Class IA-District 5 swim-
offs are at Winter Haven on Oct.
17-18, where Wildcat and Lady
Wildcat swimmers will challenge
those from All Saints' Academy,
Winter Haven, Avon Park,
Frostproof, Haines City, Haven
Christian (girls only), Lake Placid,
Lake Wales, Lakeland Christian,
Mulberry, Ridge of Davenport and
Lakeland Santa Fe Catholic. Those
surviving that meet advance to
regional competition the week of
Oct. 25.
Before then, Hardee has only a
pair of multi-team meets. Both
local teams hosted Mulberry on
Tuesday in the final home meet.
The Heartland Championships are
at Lake Placid on Saturday. The
final swim meet of the season is on
Oct. 10 at Lake Region, along with
Bartow, Lakeland Christian and
Santa Fe.
Hardee has had a pair of meets at
the Avon Park pool in recent
weeks. In both meets, the Hardee
boys placed second, with the local
girls trailing others because they do
not have any divers this season and
automatically falling 19 points
behind.
On Sept. 12 against Bartow, Lake
Placid and Avon Park, Hardee had
four first-place finishes.
Sophomore girls captain Kaitlin
Justice won the 100 freestyle with a
time of 1:04.36, just 36 hundredths
ahead of her nearest competitor.
Jahna Davis placed fourth of the

eight swimmers entered in that
event.
Soph Chris Reid finished the
boys 100 freestyle in a time of
55.45 seconds, well ahead of the
1:02.12 on the second-place swim-
mer. Freshman Josh Rickett placed
fifth.
Sophs Tyler Robertson and
Distin "Dusty" Spears were in the
500 freestyle. Robertson won in
6:14.69, with Spears placing sev-
enth.
Finally, senior boys captain
Casey Brutus swept to victory in
the 100 breaststroke with a superla-
tive time of 1:08.39. The second-
place swimmer touched the wall at
1:12.52. Hardee soph Joe Porter
was fourth at 1:24.98, after a pre-
liminary time of 1:12.52.
Hardee also picked up points in
other events. Also competing for
Hardee were Michelle Beck,
Samantha Cowart, Juliann Davis,
Sarah Ezelle, Chelsea Goolsby,
Katie Jernigan, Heather Kouns,
Courtney Nicholson, Katiana
"Kitty" Pesquera, Rebecca
Quinones, Alicia Revell, Alex
White and Brittany Wiggins for the
girls and -Bradley Adcox, Erik
Blandin, Shelton Hartman, Murad
Ottallah, Isaac Vasquez and Jacob

Willis.
In the Sept. 19 meet at Avon
Park, Hardee boys were second,
behind Sebring at 155 and ahead of
Avon Park with 65. Hardee swim-
mers gathered 93 points. Again,
Hardee girls placed third, with 70
points. Avon Park divers took first
and second place to add points
Hardee could not counter. Sebring
won the girls meet with 172 points.
On the boys side of the ledger
Robertson and Brutus both won
events. Brutus again took tops in
the 100 breaststroke, cutting his
time to ':06.62. Robertson won
both the 50 freestyle and 100
freestyle, finishing the first in 24.89
seconds and the second in 55.25
seconds.
Hardee also got second-place
points from Brutus in the 200 indi-
vidual medley, Rickett in the 200
freestyle, and 400 freestyle relay.
In the girls competition, the high-
est place was second, for Wiggins
in the 100 breaststroke. Third-place
points came from Justice in the 200
I.M. and 100 freestyle, Ezelle in the

100 backstroke, Jernigan in the 200
-freestyle, Nicholson in the 50
freestyle, and the relay teams in
both the 200 freestyle and 400
freestyle.

SINCE 1906

"A Family Tradition for 100 Years"

In 1906, my grandfather, William T. Robarts, founded ROBARTS FUNERAL PARLORS.
He set high standards for himself to provide superior service. This kind and gentle
man became known for his compassionate care and genuine concern for the fami-
lies he served.

These same standards were carried on by my father, Wilfrid T. Robarts, and now, as
our family commemorates 100 years of service, we still continue the tradition.

Over the years, our commitment to professionalism and compassionate care for
families has made our service distinctive.

Therefore, when you select ROBARTS FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, you can expect the
same distinctive service my family has been famous for since 1906.

We guarantee the finest care available at the lowest cost. You can rely upon our
reputation and my personal commitment to back it up.

agony of defeat last Friday at Veterans Stadium on the George Jenkins cam-
pus, temporary home of the Bartow Yellow Jackets. After coming from
behind twice and tying the game on a Pablo Anselmo field goal, Hardee lost
32-31 in overtime. Trying to block the Jacket extra-point kick, Hardee inad-
vertently fouled the kicker. Bartow elected to go for a two-point conversion
from 1.5 yards out and was successful to snatch victory from the jaws of
defeat. The loss ended Hardee's 46-game regular-season win streak and
makes the Wildcats 4-1 on the season.
I The first district game is Friday night against visiting Sebring and
replete with all the distractions of Homecoming. Fans, including girl
friends, should help the players keep focused among all the hoop-hurrah.
The 'Cats need this win!

JV football bounded back in a big way with a 48-0 shellackingof Lake
Placid in last week's game. The game tonight (Thursday) is at 7 at Wildcat
Stadium against Kissimmee Osceola. Turn out and cheer the junior
Wildcats. Hardee wants to improve its 3-1 record.
Junior High football is home for the first time this season in next
Tuesday's game against Hill-Gustat. Game time is 5:30 p.m. If you can't
get to that one, there's another home game on Oct. 10 against Sebring.
Come out and encourage the youngest Wildcats.

Wildcat golf was 8-2 after beating Sebring on its course last week. Its
only losses have come twice to the Lakeland High super team. Hardee will
need all its abilities to compete in its tough IA district which includes sev-
eral "golf mills," private schools on the west coast which provide daily
tutoring for their players. St. Stephen's, Bradenton Prep, Sarasota Cardinal
Mooney and Sarasota Christian have these special programs.
Hardee girls may have to skip districts because they haven't complet-
ed enough matches as a team. One or more of the five-girl squad has missed
a lot of matches with Hardee either canceling or playing short-handed with
no team score.

Cross country girls and guys are succeeding, both winning at the Avon
Park Invitational last week as well as the event they hosted at the Pioneer
Park Invitational. Wildcats Jose and Gilberto Gutierrez lead the boys squad
while Edith Leal, Mandy Cornelius, Maricela Galvan and Hope Poucher
pace the girls. The teams have been competing in big and small meets of
every kind.

Lady Wildcat volleyball is showing signs of the teamwork of which it
is capable. The girls challenged Sarasota Booker in five sets and Sebring in
four in matches last week. They also played a weekend five-match tourna-
ment and placed third overall among the eight teams there. The girls host
the district tournament Oct. 16-19, which may give them the added edge
they need.

Hardee swimmers are gearing up for districts, too. The swimmers have
lowered their times consistently throughout the fall, as coach Dick Daggett
has urged them to practice hard and develop to their best by district com-
petition. A couple of school records could be broken before the season is
over.

Junior high softball played flip-flop games in its opening week. The
girls were clobbered 19-0 against Sebring on Monday and won 17-1 over
Avon Park on Thursday. Now that they've learned how to win, look for
more and more success for coaches Shari Knight and Beth Sasser and their
squad.

On the college level, Theo Jones of Bowling' Green, was granted an~

Inside Out
By Chip Ballard

FINALLY, I HAVE AN AGENT, I THINK
pursuant I've heard it's as hard for an unknown writer to find a literary agent to
gment of represent his work as it is for an unknown actor to go to Hollywood and
nber 20, find an agent to get him into the movies. But, one has to give it a shot.
SNo. 25- As the summer of 2006 began, I dusted off my novel, "High School

to try to sell it. Though I was disappointed, I understood their point of view;

1ANGE
WEST for $2,500. So I appreciated the agents' notes, even if they said no, and I
E 146 wrote back and told them so.
TEGIN- Then came an e-mail from Lantz Powell, head of a literary agency for
TINUE Southern writers, asking to see the entire manuscript I sent it, and he said it

Instead of trying to tell me, he recommended I read "Self-Editing for

was on the all-conference defensive team in 2005-067, with a team-high
45.9 percent of his three-point attempts.
On the community level, the first annual Magnolia Manor Golf
Tourney was a rousing success with about 50 golfers and their friends rais-
ing nearly $5,000 for improvements to the Magnolia Manor Recreational
Park. Many area businesses and individuals sponsored the event or con-
tributed to prizes, said coordinator Jessie Wiggins.
Individually, there are a pair of successes to report. Former Wauchulan
Kim McLeod Miller works at the Maggie Valley Golf Club in North
Carolina and frequently plays with a ladies group at the Lake Junaluska
Course where she won this year's title with a 77 scratch score and a 69, one-
over-par in the handicap tournament. With an 11 handicap, she scored the
low of 58. In the winter months, she and husband Dave manage "Tube
World" at the Cattaloochi ski area of Maggie Valley.
Another note of interest. Local fitness development enthusiast Jessica
Smith placed second in the Sept. 23rd Lakeland Figure Classic, her first fol-
lowing a 12-week intense training period to prepare for the event. She will
compete this weekend in the Hurricane Bay Show in Tampa.

Kelly's Column
By Jim

I The Hardee County Commission Tuesday night by a 3-2 vote approved
a 2006-07 county budget of $74,523,106 and a tax rate of 9.0 mills.
The current millage rate is 8.7064 mills and the rolled-back rate, which
would have raised the same ad valor taxes as the current budget year,
was 7.7878 mills.
; Voting for the budget and new tax rate were commissioners Dale
Jdhnson, Minor Bryant and Gordon Norris. Voting no were Bobby Ray
Sinith and chairman Nick Timmerman.

; The Hardee High Wildcats will play Sebring here Friday night in an
important district game. The game also celebrates homecoming, with a
parade in Wauchula Friday at 2:30 p.m.
. The Wildcats had their 46-game regular season win streak stoppedby
Ba:rtow 32-31 in overtime last Friday in Lakeland.

SThe Tampa Bay Bucs are off to an 0-3 start and will have to replace
starting quarterback Chris Simms who ruptured his spleen Sunday against
Carolina.

The Florida Gators are off to an excellent 4-0 start and are favored over
Alabama on Saturday.

The Florida orange crop this past season was just under 150 million
btxes but brought much higher prices to the growers than in recent years.
C trus acreage in the state has declined considerably.
A number of small groves in Hardee County have been abandoned or
cleared for other purposes. Growers who remain and have taken good care
of their groves and kept up with replanting should receive good prices for
tle next few years.
It has always been that way those who persevere during tough, lean

times are rewarded in the end. The qualities are faith, determination and
optimism.
With a growing population and orange juice being so healthy, there
should always be a fairly strong demand for the product.

Millions of pears in California have fallen off the trees this year
because of a lack of pickers. In Lake County, Calif., an estimated 10,000
tons of pears valued at over $2.5 million roughly 30 percent of the crop
- has been lost due to lack of farmworkers.
That is why the U.S. government needs a good guest worker program
- to ensure that agricultural crops such as oranges, apples and pears can
get harvested.
Some farmworkers have gone back to Mexico or gotten other jobs,
reported Glenda Anderson of the New York Times Regional Newspapers.
Pear orchards in Lake County have declined from 5,259 acres to 2,485
acres in the last 10 years, reported Lake's agricultural commissioner Steve
Hajik. The county needed about 400 more farmworkers to harvest this
year's late ripening pear crop.

Florida Citrus Mutual President J.A. Clark said to his knowledge there
was enough labor to harvest all of this past season's orange crop in Florida.

Gasoline prices in Hardee County this week have fallen to about $2.32
a gallon for regular unleaded. The cash price as Wal-Mart was $2.299 a gal-
lon.
This is an encouraging drop from about $3 a gallon earlier this summer
and is a welcome event for the economy. Hopefully prices will continue to
fall to about $2 a gallon.

The Federal Aviation Administration has recently approved a $300 mil-
lion airport to be built 30 miles north of Panama City on 4,000 acres owned
by St. Joe Paper Company. This would replace an existing airport that has
seen declining use over recent years.
This would be to spur economic development in the Panhandle area for
St. Joe Company which owns about 770,000 acres in the area.
So far, Van Fleet has not applied yet for FAA approval, to try to build
an international cargo airport in northwestern Hardee County. The local
effort for an airport is trying to line up support at the state level.

'victory over the Hardee Wildcats,
ending a four-year, 46-game regu-

lightly. This is the first district
game of the season, a must-win for
the Wildcats, who defeated Sebring
last season by a mere 21-13.
Several of those players are back,
including senior quarterback A. C.
who is leading the Heartland in
passing and is third in rushing.
Receiver Sam Robinson had four
catches for over 100 yards against
Pasco and is tops in the area with
five TDs. Look also for running
back T.J. Williams, end Kyle

the offensive prowess.

Car Seat Checkup

By BRETT JARNAGIN
For The Herald-AdVocate
Is your child's car seat safe'?
If you are not sure, the Hardee
County Health Department is host-
.ing a car seat safety checkup event
,on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. -
:2 p.m.
Parents can bring their child with
,them to the checkup to be sure that
ttheir safety seat is the right size and
fits properly. If the car safety seat
needs replacing, a $10 donation
swill secure a new one that meets
;safety standards.
There are only 24 appointments
'available, so parents should sched-
lule a child safety seat check soon
iby calling the Health Department at
t773-4161.
While at the checkup, residents
;are also encouraged to participate
;in the Florida Highway Patrol's
iTwo DollarDifference Child Safety
,Seat program.
SWhen registering a vehicle or
,renewing a vehicle's registration,
'motorists have the opportunity to
donate $2 of more to the program.
iThis donation helps purchase car
,safety seats for needy residents
,within the county.
I "More and more children are at
frisk of an automobile accident
when they don't buckle up," said
Health Department administrator
WMarsha F. Rau.
" During 2004, Florida had a total

of 110 motor vehicle deaths in chil-
dren from 0 to 14 years old, and
686 were hospitalized. The Nation-
al Highway Traffic Safety Admini-
stration says that motor vehicle
crashes are the leading killer of
children ages 3 to 14.
Statistics from the NHTSA show
that infants and toddlers are buck-
led up more than 90% of the time,
while children ages 4 to 7 are only
in safety restraints 73% of the time.
The state Department of Health,
SAFE KIDS Florida, and the
Hardee County Health Depart-ment
advise parents to follow the safety
guidelines to make riding in a vehi-
cle a safe experience for children.
Infants should ride in rear-facing
car seats until at least 20 pounds
and at least 1-year-old. Rear-facing
car seats should never be placed in
the front seat of a vehicle with an
active passenger air bag.
Children over the age of 1 and
between 20 and 40 pounds should
ride in forward-facing car seats.
Children ages 4 to 8, between 40
and 80 pounds should ride in boost-
er seats restrained with lap and
shoulder belts. Regular seat belts
will not fully protect a child this
size in a crash. Children older than
8 should always use a safety belt.
For more information about the
event, please. call. Leslie Bond ,at
773-4161 or Dep. Maria Hall at the
Sheriff's Department 773-0304.

Hardee will counter with its own
cadre of stars, Lisnell Youyoute and
Jermaine King through the air, and
the trio of Jayquan Gandy, Jimmy
Cimeus and Herman Patterson on
the ground. The key is senior quar-
terback Weston Palmer who can
handle the pass or run, or take the
ball himself.
Palmer earned Offensive Player
of the Week with eight carries,
including one for a TD, 12-18 pass-
ing for 187 yards and a pair of TDs,
and a handoff to Patterson for
another TD.
Defensively, senior Johnny Ray
Harris got the nod as Player of the
Week with his 10 tackles, sack and
pair of fumble recoveries.
On Special Teams, Terry Redden
had four stellar punt returns and
kicker Pablo Anselmo went four-
for-four on conversion kicks and
nailed a 30-yard field goal to put
the game into overtime. They
shared Special Team players of the
week honors.
For their work during practice,
Kierre Cook and Devon Lampley

shared Scout Team Player of the
Week mention.
Hardee head coach Derren Bryan
was obviously disappointed but
realistic about his team's loss last
week. "We've got to get better, cut
down on mistakes. I knew one day
that would rear its head against us.
.When playing a really good foot-
ball team, you can't give them the
ball so easily. It was a gutsy call by
them at the end. Our kids played
hard and never quit. I'm proud of
them for that" commented Bryan.
Hardee gave up the ball twice in
the opening minutes of the game
held at Veterans Stadium at George
Jenkins High because of Bartow's
damaged stadium.
After Hardee forced Bartow to
punt, the 'Cats showed their weak-
nesses. Penalized for a false start
and facing a first-and-15, Palmer
went nowhere on the keeper, so
passes to Youyoute for a first down.
After that accomplishment, Hardee
fumbled and turned the ball over to
Bartow at its 25.
Quarterback Devarious Cook

quickly passed to Malcolm Johnson
and the Jackets were in front. The
Kevious Jones' kick made it 7-0
about four minutes into the game. A
kickoff return of 40 yards was nul-
lified by a penalty, putting Hardee
back at the 11-yard line. Another
fumble and Bartow was back in
business. Hardee hunkered down
and pushed the Jackets back, but
Jones nailed the field goal. Midway
through the first quarter Bartow led
10-0.
With the fumble-itis out of the
way, Hardee settled down. Redden
returned the kickoff to the Bartow
43 and Hardee started well but
stalled. The Will Krause punt went
into the end zone for a touchback.
Bartow promptly surrendered the
ball on a fumble of its own.
Starting at the Jacket 23, Hardee

went to work. Gandy had a pair of
good runs and Patterson went over
right guard for the final yard. With
the Anselmo kick, Hardee had cut
the Bartow lead to 10-7 with two
minutes still left in the first period.
Bartow started again but Redden
intercepted a pass and Hardee start-
ed again at the Jacket 49. As the
game went into the second quarter,
Hardee continued a seven-play
drive which ended when Palmer
faked the handoff and raced around
the left end fdr the score. With the
Anselmo kick, Hardee had taken a
14-10 lead.
The teams traded possessions
until Harris recovered another fum-
ble to put Hardee in control. With
92 seconds left, Palmer threw to
Youyoute, who broke loose for an

BEN FRANKLIN LIVING (
Over the past two weeks, I have had the opportunity to read in my spare
time the "Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin."
He's a man that we are all familiar with: lived in the 1700s, founder of
our country, inventor, statesman, politician, successful businessman, and
quite a people person. He had an uncanny ability to make the most out of
each moment and succeed in whatever he put his mind to. He had the abil8
ity to make friends out of his enemies and he had the ability to make thd
most out of his friends and ensure success in many of them.
I have looked for a pattern in the day-to-day life of this extraordinary
man who has been immortalized in our history books and found one thing.
He was vigilant in his work ethic. He's a man who ran away from home witli
no guarantee of a future and he was able to accomplish amazing tasks. 1
And this was because of his work ethic. You never read of Ben Franklit
being idle. If he wasn't working on a job at his printer's shop, he was meet-
ing with learned men. If he wasn't rallying for some political agenda for the
"Assembly," he was helping colonists build forts to defend themselves
against the Indians. During his down time, he read books, studied languages
and organized his virtues in an accomplishable system. He was a man of
constancy, a lesson many of us can learn.
I look at the world today, including myself, and look at the way that we
.spend our days. Work ethic is a vanishing virtue. We are an idle country of
people. When we are at work, we're seeing how much we can get out of
doing. When we are at home, we're sitting on the couch in front of our big
screen TVs, remote controls in hand because we're too lazy to get up td
change a channel. '
I remember sitting at home during the summer as a kid watching the TV
guide channel because there was nothing on! How ironic is it that wheit
there is nothing on TV, I would rather watch five-second previews of "noth-
ing" than get up and do something. .
We are an entertainment driven society and we feel the need to con-
stantly be entertained. People will skip worship to watch sports. People will
lie to their bosses by calling in sick so they can go fishing. Families will sit
in front of a television instead of spending time talking and getting to kno4
one another. We have come a long way from the days of Ben Franklin where
every moment was a chance to be better. Now, every moment is a chance td
be entertained. Technology sure has changed the world, and I'm not sure in
which direction.
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that TVs are bad or worthless!
I understand that every one of us needs downtime. But remember that out
days our numbered, our lives are but a "vapor that appears for a little time
and then vanishes away" (James 4:14). Life passes us by when we're recline2
ing in our "Lazyboys" (and that name should be enough to tell you some
thing).
Let's learn a lesson from Ben Franklin. He was a poor boy who grew
up to change the world because of his ability to make every moment count.
How. many opportunities might we be missing while focused on entertain
ing ourselves instead of serving God, serving our communities and serving
our families. I'm Telling the Truth.

Dirt Road Diaries
By C.J. Mouser

I thought I had found a happy place about squirrels. You might ask
yourself why I would even be thinking about squirrels. The truth is, I think
about a lot of inconsequential things ... it's what I do, and just last week I
was wondering why people think squirrels are cute but can't abide rats,
when they are within hugging distance of each other on the food chain.
I Other than the fluffy tails and the fact that squirrels flit about in tree-
tops rather than hang out in dark alleys, squirrels have also been known to
grace more than one dinner table in the form of a hearty stew often
being referred to in the south as "limb bacon." But to my knowledge rats
are firmly off of most folks menus, which is another major difference
between the two creatures.
Squirrels abound in children's books, right alongside bunny rabbits,
looking all doe-eyed and cute. But I have never opened a child's reader to
find an illustration of a rat passing the. time of day with a cuddly raccoon or
a wobbly baby deer. Rats are always the bad guys.
After giving this matter some serious thought, I finally reached the
conclusion that the primary difference between rats and squirrels is their
method of locomotion. If you watch a squirrel, they rarely walk on all fours
like a rat does. They tend to hop in much the same manner as a rabbit. They
also do this hopping during daylight hours, unlike the nocturnal rat. So,
despite being a full-blown rodent, squirrels have a few traits that set them
apart from their creepy cousins, and I was prepared to relax and enjoy them,
and forget about the fact that they have claws and long, sharp teeth ... until
I was confronted by a squirrel on the sidewalk outside work one evening.
I was standing there minding my own business when out of the corner
pf my eye I caught a movement. A squirrel was hopping alongside the
building headed right at me. After my initial astonishment, my first thought
was that he wasn't aware that I was there. I soon discovered that nothing
pould be further from the truth.
When he was within two or three feet of me, he stopped again, cocked
his head to the side, craned his neck and looked me right in the eye, and it
was then that I discovered that the squirrel not only knew I was there, he
was intent on making me move. I don't know where he was planning on
going, maybe he just wanted to pass in order to reach his favorite tree.
Maybe he wanted to go up the downspout that was hanging on the wall
nearby ... or maybe my pants leg. Either way, I was messing with his rou-
tine, and he proved conclusively that he was not prepared to stand for it.
. As we stood there staring at each other I couldn't help thinking that he
was a brazen little booger. It became clear right away with his jerky tail
movements and the way he stood up on his hind legs, that he was trying to
intimidate me. After quickly doing the math in my mind, I relaxed; I was
much bigger, and despite being bereft of claws and sharp teeth, I figured I
could hold my own, and even after he chattered noisily and charged me, I
held my ground. I wasn't done with my break, and no pushy little squirrel
was going to make me go inside if I wasn't ready. Besides, I was a little
curious to find out what he was prepared to do to get his way.
But somewhere in the back of my mind a little niggle of doubt reared
its ugly head. What if he was rabid? I could see the headlines now ...
S"Woman attacked and killed by rabid squirrel."
Being that I work for a newspaper, the photographer wouldn't have to
travel far to get a front page worthy photo, and I don't know about you, but
I would happily fork over some spare change to read about such an event.
With this unsettling thought firmly in mind, my resistance began to
flag and I started making excuses for being a wimp; I need to get back to
work anyway, I thought. My break is over. This is nature at work, who am
. to interfere with it?
Just about the time I made up my mind to cease and desist, he stood
Ap again and barked at me, and trying to be nonchalant, I about broke a
,one trying to get inside the building, leaving him once again master of his
territory.
Squirrels, cute and harmless? I think not. Nothing but rats with bushy
ails, if you ask me.

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo
Well Football Fans, we are down to the last weekend in September. A
new year of football has seen preseason hopes turn into reality for some
teams while others have renewed hope for a better-than-expected year.
Sadly some streaks come to an end also. The 46-game regular season
streak of wins by the Hardee Wildcats is now at an end. One more defen-
sive stand with 2 minutes left and the Cats would have escaped. It just was-
n't to be. So, a new streak must begin this Homecoming Week with a win
over the Sebring Blue Streaks. Remember 1996? Bartow won the State
Championship. The Jackets only loss that year was to the Hardee Wildcats.
Let's do the same in 2006! The playoffs are still within reach. The Cats will
claw their way into the picture, count on it.
How 'bout the Florida Gators? The boys from Gainesville have posted
four straight wins and stand 2-0 in the SEC East. This week is a big game
with Alabama. This week will see revenge on the minds of the Gators. The
31-3 loss in 2005 could be reversed in the Swamp this Saturday. The com-
memorative ticket is surely a big ticket regardless of the game. This is the
100th year of Gator Football and this week's ticket is a collector's item,
larger than the normal ticket.
The Bucs and Dolphins are off this week. Both teams need to regroup
and make a push to live up to expectations for 2006. The Jags are in
Washington for a very winnable game with the Redskins.
Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare:
1. Alabama at Florida It is payback time in the Swamp. The Gator
Defense will rise again to stop the Tide. This game will be special for UF
from the ceremonies to the finish. Alabama losing to Arkansas has taken
some luster away. Florida 31 Alabama 13.
2. Houston at Miami The Canes are back at with an opponent they

Want To Teach?

People with bachelor's degrees
can become qualified to work as
primary and secondary teachers in
Florida by attending an approxi-
mately one-year program at South.
Florida Community College's Edu-
cator Preparation Institute (EPI).
Prospective candidates can learn
more about the EPI program at a.
public information session from 5-6
p.m., Thursday, Oct. 5, in the
University Center, Room 102, at the
Highlands Campus in Avon Park.
The majority of classes meet 8
a.m.-5 p.m., Saturdays, in Room-
209 of the University Center.
Several classes are taught online.
Each will run about five weeks.
Because courses are not being
taught in any particular sequence,
students are not required to take
classes consecutively and can enter
the program at the intervals when
new classes become available. The
program can be completed in about
a year.
Classes will focus on profession-
al teaching practices in such areas
as classroom management, instruc-
tional strategies, integrating tech-
nology into the classroom and test
preparation. Twice a year, in the fall
and spring, students will complete a
15-hour inteinshipr,'during -which-
they will observe a teacher who is
compatible with the subjectrnaialtr '
and grade level they wish to teach.
Graduates of the EPI program
will receive teaching certificates
from the Florida Department of
Education once they pass the
Florida Teacher's Certification
Exam.
To be accepted into the EPI, stu-
dents must obtain a status of eligi-
bility letter from the Florida
Department of Education and apply
at the SFCC Registrar's Office.
Afterwards, they receive an appli-
cation from Colleen Rafatti, EPI

program coordinator.
Tuition for EPI classes is roughly
equivalent to the credit-hour classes
offered in the associate degree pro-
grams. Like college students in
other programs, EPI participants are
eligible for some types of financial
aid, including Pell Grants. Military
veterans can also apply for Troops
to Teachers scholarships through
the U.S. Department of Defense.
For more information, call
Rafatti at 784-7403 or send e-mail
to rafattic@southflorida.edu.

can beat if they have a big day from the defense. Larry Coker has not been
able to sit down all week waiting for a chance to win a game and rinse the.
mouths of the Louisville game. Maybe it was because the seat is too hot
also? Miami 33 Houston 20.
3. Mississippi State at LSU Tigers will take another win the SEC
West. LSU 44 MSU 7.
4. Louisiana Tech at Clemson Mismatch. Clemson 59 Louisiana
Tech 13.
5. Georgia at Mississippi Dawgs escaped a real setback to
Colorado. Ole Miss is really down in '06. Look for a Dawg Day Afternoon.
Georgia 33 Mississippi 10.
6. Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech A game in the ACC game of,
importance is upon us. Hopefully, the Jackets can take home a win as they
position themselves to win their division. Georgia Tech 24 VPI 17.
7. Auburn at South Carolina This is not FAU coming.in. Auburn
will bring its "A" game this time. Auburn 34 USC 17.
8. Rutgers at USF Friday Night Special at the Ray Jay. Rutgers is
on a roll. Maybe the heat will get to them? USF needs a big win after being
upset by lowly Kansas. Rutgers 34 USF 13.
9. Toledo at Pitt Toledo has beaten Big 12 Kansas. Pitt has Tyler
Palko and home field advantage. Pitt 41 Toledo 21.
10. Wyoming at Syracuse Orange has won two straight games after
a pitiful start. Syracuse 27 Wyoming 14.
11. Temple at Vanderbilt If it's Temple, it must be Homecoming.
Vandy 45 Temple 13.
12. Navy at UConn Navy got upset by Tulsa. Can the Huskies
Defense slow down the Middies run attack? Navy is a leader nationally in
rushing the ball. Navy 31 UConn 24.
13. Ohio State at Iowa This is a land mine game for the Buckeyes.
Look for the first major upset in the Big 10 and Nationally. It's going out
on a limb here but I have a gut feeling. I have been wrong before though.
Iowa 30 Ohio State 27.
14. Miami at Cincinnati Miami has fallen considerably since Big
Ben went to the Steelers. It is hard to remember the Hawks ever at 0-4 to
start. The Bearcats played well at Va. Tech. Cincy 34 Miami 23.
15. Tennessee at Memphis Vols rebounded. Look for a one sided
game despite the in-state rivalry angle. The Tigers will do well in CUSA but
this is a top team from the SEC. Tennessee 41 Memphis 13.
16. Jacksonville at Washington Jags will do what needs to be done
and get out with a win. Byron and the boys should have a big day. Jax 31
Washington 10.
17. Indianapolis at N.Y. Jets As much as I would love to see
Pennington best Manning, I don't see it happening. Colts are too much team
for the Jets. Indy 30 Jets 17.
18. New England at Cincinnati This game used to be a no-brainer.
Now, it's the Bengals in the seat of respect. Not that the Pats are fading
away either. Cincy 34 NE 31.
19. Seattle at Chicago -- Da Bears are having a great start. Seahawks
want to return to the Super Bowl. Seattle 24 Chicago 21.
20. Minnesota at Buffalo Bills will win a close one. Buffalo 31
Minnesota 30.

extra 35 yards. Palmer then found
King in the corner of the end zone
for a leaping catch over the defend-
er for the score with 41 ticks left on
the. clock. Anselmo made the half-
time score 21-10 in Hardee's favor.
Redden opened the second half
,.,.by eluding a pair of Bartow tacklers
rfor .a 20-yard return. Hardee got a
pair of first downs, then punted.
Bartow gained one first down, then
used a trick play, with the punter
Brent Delph,passing to Phillip
Jackson for a huge gain from the
Bartow 48 to the Wildcat 27. Cook
then passed to Jamal Darling for
the TD. The Jones kick was good. It
was a 21-17 game.
And so it continued through the
rest of the third and most of the
fourth quarter as the teams battled.
A Hardee field goal attempt was
blocked. Bartow burned up time,
within a pass for Darling getting
another score to put the Jackets on
top 24-21.
Hardee had only 55 seconds to
recover. A pass to Youyoute got 15
yards. A couple of penalties pushed
the 'Cats backward. A pass to King
put Hardee at the Bartow 28 and a

penalty on a 45-yard field goal
attempt put the 'Cats closer. Bartow
called two timeouts attempting to
, upset Anselmo. but he calmly hit
the 30-hard field goal to make it a
24-24 game and send it into over-
time.
Hardee had first crack at four
tries from the 10-yard line and
Palmer 'passed to Onel Virgile for
the score. Anselmo nailed the kick.
Haide went up 31-24.
Yellow Jacket Carl Edler spurted
into the end zone. On the ensuing
kick, which was good, Hardee wab
called for roughing the kicker.:
Bartow elected to take the conver-
sion kick :ff the board and go for
two points, which was successful
on another Edler run.
Hardee had run out of chances. It
wasn't for lack of heart' or defen-
sive effort. Joining Harris on the
tackle parade were Briant Shu-
mard, Redden, 'Krause. Ricky
Wiggins, David Ne% comb. Daniel
"D.J," Robinson and Joseph
Barton, among others.

75 YEARS AGO
Interesting Meeting Enjoyed By
Kiwanis: The Kiwanis Club en-
joyed an especially interesting
meeting at its Tuesday luncheon
hour with a good program and a
large attendance. The program fol-
lowed the nature of a "pep" meet-
ing, with several speakers dis-
cussing :varied subjects. Rev. Karl
Koestline spoke on "Fellowship,"
and Harry Stansfield discussed
"Co-Operation." R. O. Evans used
as his subject "Depressions of the
Day."
After some discussion regarding
diamond ball and the advisability of
entering the team in the city league,
a committee composed of C.R.
Bostick, L.M. Carlton and E.R.
Harman was appointed to work out
plans and report at the next meet-
ing. The unemployment situation
was discussed at length and Ira
Rigdon was appointed to work with
a similar committee of the
American Legion in an effort to
help the situation.

Big Tarpon Is Landed By
Fanning On Thursday: Roy
,anning, local produce buyer,
caught a big fish last Thursday, but
cannot enter it in the contest spon-
sored by the businessmen of
Wauchula because Fanning's prize
vas a 90-pound tarpon and was
taught in the waters adjacent to
Pine Island.
: The silver king is on cold storage
at the ice plant and has been the
subject of much interest among
local fishermen. Mr. Fanning will
probably have it mounted as a tro-
phy of his angling art. A party com-
posed of Roy Fanning, Troy Shultz,
A.W. Fitzgerald, W.L. Warren and
Leslie Hord tried their luck at salt
water fishing near Pine Island, and
besides the tarpon, also landed sev-
eral other large fish.

Lake Placiders Suffer Defeat
Here Sunday: A large crowd was
present Sunday afternoon at the ball
park when Lake Placid suffered an
0 to 7 defeat at the hands of
Wauchula. The fans were attracted
because this was the final home
game odthe season, but were some-
what disappointed at the numerous
miscues-of both teams H \e\ er,
V'auchula gathered 13 hil-off the
'delivery of Mackey, star hurler for

the visitors, while Henry Boney set
the visiting sluggers down with
nine hits.
Cowart, for the locals, was the
individual batting star and gathered
three hits out of five trips to the
plate, while Mclnnis also had a
good day and hit safely twice out of
four times at bat. Thomas, for Lake
Placid; was credited with two hits
out of four trips, while Cobb made
two out of five. The final score was
8-7 with Wauchula for the win.

50 YEARS AGO
Wildcats Play Plant City Here
Tonight: The Hardee High Wildcats
will play host to the Plant City
Planters at Farr Field tonight in the
first conference game of the season
for both clubs. Last Friday night the
Planters smeared the new and green
Chamberlain High team of Tampa
to the tune of 40 to 0, while the
Wildcats were playing a hard-
fought 7 to 7 toe-to-toe with the
Fort Meade Miners.
Coach Tilrow Morrison has
announced to the press that his
Plant City eleven is loaded this year
and the Wildcats will have their
hands full tonight. Last year the
Planters won a tight 6 to 0 game
that saw the Cats lose a victory
chance by virtue of an offensive
penalty that cost them a touchdown.
Plant City has virtually its same
team back.

Lady Wrestlers To Tangle Here
Saturday Night: A wrestling pro-
gram will be held tomorrow night at
the Wauchula ball park, featuring
two attractive women wrestlers.
The co-feature will pit two hefty
men wrestlers, Danno O'Shocker,
232 pounds, against Ike Eakins,
who is billed as a devotee of
wrestling punches in preference to
orthodox grunt and groan tactics.
The women are Bonnie Watson, a
blonde, who weighs in at 145
pounds, and Mars Bennett, a 140-
pound redhead. Miss Watson is list-
ed as one of the five top girl
wrestlers. Each match will be a best
two out of three falls. Chuck
Benson will referee the matches.
Net proceeds of the exhibition will
go to the Wauchula Kiwanis Club's
underprivileged children's fund.

School Buses To Take Kids
Home In Rain: The Hardee Board
of Public Instruction last Thursday
voted to have the school buses take
children home when it is raining
provided there is room enough to
turn the bus around at the home.
The board also instructed the super-

intendent to submit prc.-sals for
reducing bus mileage by granting
subsidies to parents of children who
live more than a mile and a half
from established routes.
The board voted to employ Mrs.
Jim Pullen as a bus driver, pending
a written resignation from Mrs.
Tressie Tomlinson, the present dri-
ver. Fred Thomas was given a ten
months leave as a bus driver and
employed Arthur Keene, Jr. as a
replacement. Mrs. Martha Clark
was granted a leave of absence and
Mrs. Ida Mae Blackburn was
employed to teach the first grade at
Bowling Green School.

10 YEARS AGO
Democratic Runoff Election This
Coming Tuesday: Hardee County's
registered Democrats will head
back to the polls for a runoff elec-
tion on Tuesday. Precincts open at 7
a.m. and close at 7 p.m. To be
decided are three local contests:
clerk of the courts, sheriff and tax
collector.
B. Hugh Bradley and Jerry Rich
seek their party's nomination for
clerk to replace retiring Colemon
Best, J. Loran Cogburn and incum-
bent Rickey Dick face off for sher-
iff and Jacki S. Johnson and Zee
Smith for tax collector to take over
for retiring Curtis Ezelle. But once
Democratic voters choose the win-
ners of next week's balloting, the
races won't stop there. Each of the
three contests has a Republican can-
didate waiting in the wings.

Joy. Wilson walked into the Hardee
County Library last Thursday
morning and entered the world of

Hardee Golf Beats Sebring Cross Country Tops Area Runners

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
: Hardee Wildcat golf pushed its
record to 8-2 by beating the
Sebring Blue Streaks last Thursday.
: The Wildcats took full advantage
for playing on the back nine (called
2'urtle Run) rather than the usual
Deer Run front nine at the Sun 'N
Eake Country Club, where the
tIawkins Invitational had been
played on Monday.
:: Hardee's season is coming to a
lose with just a few more match-
bs before the Class 1A-District 6
tournament Oct. 9-10.
: Hardee hosted Lake Placid on
Tuesday and goes to Pinecrest to
play Avon Park today (Thursday).
Next week, there are a match at
home against Mulberry on Tuesday
and the season finale at DeSoto on
Thursday.
, The Wildcats went to Sebring
last Monday, Sept. 18, for the annu-
pl Hawkins tournament which
includes more than 30 schools from
ground the state, divided into divi-
Sions of similar capabilities.
" '"The results were somewhat dis-
Appointing. I thought we should
iave won our division without a
problem, but some of our scores

were not as low as usual. We ended
up tying for third with a score of
331. We were tied with Avon Park.
Lakeland Christian shot 327 to take
the division title," described
Wildcat coach George Heine.
For Hardee, junior Kaleb
Saunders led the pack with 76.
Soph Ben Krause came in at 81,
classmate Jake Crews at 85, Kyle
Cobb at 89 and senior Justin
Painter an unusual 89.
"We traveled back to Sebring on
Thursday to tangle with the Blue
Streaks and defeated them 159-
164," said Heine. Junior James
Olliff had two birdies and Krause
one as each carded 39. "These were
two very good rounds," he added.
"Justin Painter shot 40; he has
been off his game a little bit in the
last week, but I am looking for him
to come around in time for dis-
tricts," continued Heine.
Saunders had 41 with one birdie.
"I am looking for him to do well at
districts also." Crews and Cobb
rounded out the scoring with 48
and 49 respectively.
"It's only two weeks to districts.
Everyone needs to start bearing
down and focusing on their course
management skills. This will shave

a few more strokes off their
scores," concluded Heine.
Hardee is in the tough IA district
which includes 11 schools, includ-
ing Avon Park, Braden River of
Bradenton, Bradenton Prep, Sara-
sota Cardinal Mooney, DeSoto,
Lake Placid, St. Stephens of
Bradenton, Bradenton Christian,
Sarasota Out-Of-Door and Sarasota
Christian.
Hardee golfing girls, meanwhile,
continue to have a hard time field-
ing enough players to get a team
score, and may have to skip district
competition. Last Monday, the girls
stayed home from the Hawkins and
hosted Avon Park, which managed
to have four players for a team
score of 244. Although Hardee ini-
tially had four players, one left and
Hardee had no team score. Ciara
Lambert carded 65, and Kirsti
Roehm and Lindsey Moye each
came in at 68.
Without enough players, Hardee
did not travel to Frostproof on
Thursday. The girls were scheduled
to play against Sebring and Lake
Wales on Tuesday of this week and
host Bartow today (Thursday). The
season finale is at DeSoto next
Tuesday.

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Both Hardee cross country teams
excelled last week.
The Wildcats and Lady 'Cats
each won their races at the Avon
Park Invitational held at Highlands
State Park on Thursday.
Wildcat senior Jose Gutierrez
and his junior brother Gilberto took
the top two spots in the boys race
enroute to leading their squad to the.
low score of 29, well ahead of the
nearest contender, Sebring, at .66.
Clewiston came in at 77, Avon Park
112, DeSoto 128, Lake Placid 268
and Walker Memorial Academy
with 184.
Hardee girls won by a closer
score. They totaled 44 points, with
Clewiston with 52, Sebring at 102,
Lake Placid 118, Avon Park 157,
DeSoto 169 and Walker 181.
Walker star Jessica Ewing won the
girls' run in a time of 22:45.
Hardee's best runner was Edith
Leal at 23:24.
Hardee held its Alumni Run on
Tuesday at the high school course.
Tomorrow (Friday), Hardee was
schedule to compete in the presti-
gious flrunners.com Invitational in
Tampa but did not get entries in

early enough.
Next Tuesday, Hardee host the
Little Cypress Invitational at the
golf course off SR 64 west. The
local teams also hope to run in the
Disney World Classic in Orlando
on Oct. 6.
In Thursday's race, Hardee had
several other outstanding runners.
For the boys, behind the Gutierrez
brothers was junior Pete Solis, soph
Justin Hines, just a step ahead of
classmate Alex Flores. Junior Luis
Reyes and freshman Nathan Tom-
linson rounded out the Hardee var-
sity.
Hardee girls had a larger contin-
gent. Behind Edith Leal were
senior Mandy Cornelius, just a few
steps in front of classmate Maricela
Galvan. Next was soph Hope
Poucher, followed by soph Nancy
Ramirez and frosh Briana Aguila.
Also coming in for Hardee were
freshman Laura Galvan, soph
Victoria Arreola, soph Diana Leal,
soph Cayla Kilgore, senior Erica
Hernandez, soph Daisy Escoto,
freshmen Gloria Flores, Kerry
Mushrush and Ashley Pappa, junior
Drea Parkinson and freshman Sara
Loliez
Hardee had a lot of runners in its

first home run, the Pioneer Invita-
tional, last Tuesday, Sept. 19. Again
the Gutierrez brother led team-
mates across the finish line, Jose
coming across in 18:19 and
Gilberto in a slower 19:25 (which
he lowered to 18:48 two days later).
Next were Solis at 29:58 and Flores
at 19:58.5. Behind them were
Reyes, Francisco "Paco" Lozano,
Arnold Louis, -Jean Frenot,
Tomlinson and Lee Cortez.
Edith Leon again led the Hardee
girls in, followed by Maricela
Galvan, and Cornelius, Poucher
and Ramirez one step apart. Aguila,
Laura Galvan, Parkinson, Flores,
Pappa and Lopez rounded out the
squad for this day.
Interestingly, eighth grader
Vanessa Hernandez, in her first
junior high race, finished in ninth
place overall, beating all but one of
the girls varsity runners.

America does not go abroad in
search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to free-
dom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindi-
cator only of her own.
-John Quincy Adams

History: Death Of A Matriarch

By SPESSARD STONE
For The Herald-Advocate
From an article in The Florida Advocate of Aug. 11, 1944.
MRS. MARTHA McEWEN CARLTON
On Aug. 6, 1944, Martha McEwen Carlton, matriarch of a prominent
family, died. Her obituary follows:
Mrs. Martha Carlton passed away last Sunday evening.
She was Hardee County's oldest citizen and was laid to rest Tuesday
morning in Wauchula Cemetery.
Wauchula and all of Hardee County was saddened and grieved the first
of the week by the announcement on Sunday evening of the passing of Mrs.
Martha McEwen Carlton at her home on East Bay Street, after an illness of
several months and which for the past year had kept her confined to bed.
While her passing had been expected for several days, nevertheless, her
death was a great shock to many who had known her for many years.
The deceased was the widow of the late Albert Carlton, who passed
away in 1925. Born near Savannah, Ga., Feb. 10, 1851, she was 93 years of
age and is believed to have been the oldest citizen in Hardee County. When
a small girl she moved with her parents to Lake City, Florida, where she
lived for a few years.
In about 1867, shortly after the Civil War, she moved to South Florida
and located in the section of the county, on what is now known as the Mrs.
Hollie V. Brown place, a few miles south of Wauchula. At the time her par-
ents moved there and built a house. It was known as Fort Hartsuff.
On Oct. 11, 1868 she was married to Albert Carlton, and the young
couple set up housekeeping on what is known now as the Carlton place,
about four miles west of Wauchula. To their happy union there was born 10
children, all of whom lived to young manhood. Unfortunately two of these,
Abb Carlton and Carl Carlton, met untimely deaths. At the time of the
demise of her sons she was well advanced in years and their passing was a
great shock to her. Despite her age, she went through the ordeal bravely.
In about 1903 the home on East Bay Street was built and the family
moved into Wauchula, where she lived until her death.
The survivors include one daughter, Mrs. Ella L. Southerland of
Wauchula, and seven sons, C.J. Carlton, Thomas N. Carlton, Alton H.
Carlton, Gettys S. Carlton and Leffie M. Carlton, all of Wauchula; and for-

mer Gov. Doyle E. Carlton and Dr. Leland F. Carlton, both of Tampa.
Several grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren
also survive. Several of her grandchildren are in the armed services and two
of them are overseas.
Mrs. Carlton was a member of the First Missionary Baptist Church of
Wauchula for more than 60 years. She was a devout Christian and was a
regular attendant to all services as long as her health permitted.
Funeral services were held Tuesday morning .at 10:30 at the First
Baptist Church and were conducted by the Rev. M.J. Schultz, the pastor,
who was assisted by the Rev. J.N. Hendry Sr., a friend of the Carlton fam-
ily for more than half a century. The large auditorium and the annex were
filled with sorrowing friends from sections of South Florida, who gathered
to pay their respects. The chancel and all available space on or near the pul-
pit was filled with floral offerings. There were so many the funeral director
was unable to find a place for them and some were sent direct to the ceme-
tery. Several cars were required to transfer the flowers.
The body was laid to rest in the family plot in the Wauchula Cemetery
where the arrangements were in charge of the Coker Funeral Home. As a
token of respect, all the stores and business houses in that city closed their
doors during the services.
The pallbearers, grandsons of the deceased, were Messrs. T. Hoyt
Carlton, E. Odell Carlton, Clarence H. Carlton, Doyle E. Carlton Jr., Solon
Southerland, Albert Carlton, T. Mabry Carlton and Maurice Carlton.
Spessard Stone is currently working on a history of Hardee County, with
tentative publication in December 2006. He would welcome photos and
information on churches, civic organizations, county officers and African
American churches, citizens, and the Lillian Brown school. Stone can be
reached after 5 p.m. at 773-2275 or spessard44@earthlink.net.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high inten-
tion, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it
represents the wise choice of many alternatives, the cumulative
experience of many masters of craftsmanship. Quality also marks
the search for an ideal after necessity has bee* satisfied and mere
usefulness achieved.

,aci6n fiscal de cinco mil d6lares, except las determinaciones impositivas para beneficios especiales, a partir de la con-
stancia de la titularidad del derecho de dominio conforme a las formalidades legales. El dominio sobre el bien puede

itivas no pueden superar el valor de valuaci6n fiscal del bien, en el caso de dominio director, o del porcentaje de la par-
]ticipaci6n social en la valuaci6n fiscal del bien, en el caso de dominio indirecto por titularidad de acciones o calidad

Full Text:

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA THAT Article X, Florida Constitution, is amended to add
the following:
Section 27. Comprehensive Statewide Tobacco Education And Prevention Program. In order to protect people,
especially youth, from health hazards of using tobacco, including addictive disorders, cancer, cardiovascular diseases,
and lung diseases; and to discourage use of tobacco, particularly among youth, a portion of the money that tobacco
companies pay to the State of Florida under the Tobacco Settlement each year shall be used to fund a comprehensive
statewide tobacco education and prevention program consistent with recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as follows:
(a) Program. The money appropriated pursuant to this section shall be used to fund a comprehensive statewide tobac-
co education and prevention program consistent with the recommendations for effective program components in the
1999 Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs of the CDC, as such Best Practices may be amend-
ed by the CDC. This program shall include, at a minimum, the following components, and may include additional
components that are also contained within the CDC Best Practices, as periodically amended, and that are effective at
accomplishing the purpose of this section, and that do not undermine the effectiveness of these required minimum
components:
(1) an advertising campaign to discourage the use of tobacco and to educate people, especially youth, about the health
hazards of tobacco, which shall be designed to be effective at achieving these goals and shall include, but need not be
limited to, television, radio, and print advertising, with no limitations on any individual advertising medium utilized;
and which shall be funded at a level equivalent to one-third of each total annual appropriation required by this section;
(2) evidence-based curricula and programs to educate youth about tobacco and to discourage their use of it, includ-
ing, but not limited to, programs that involve youth, educate youth about the health hazards of tobacco, help youth
develop skills to refuse tobacco, and demonstrate to youth how to stop using tobacco;
(3) programs of local community-based partnerships that discourage the use of tobacco and work to educate people,
especially youth, about the health hazards of tobacco, with an emphasis on programs that involve youth and empha-
size the prevention and cessation of tobacco use;
(4) enforcement of laws, regulations, and policies against the sale or other provision of tobacco to minors, and the
possession of tobacco by minors; and
(5) publicly-reported annual evaluations to ensure that moneys appropriated pursuant to this section are spent prop-
erly, which shall include evaluation of the program's effectiveness in reducing and preventing tobacco use, and annu-
al recommendations for improvements to enhance the program's effectiveness, which are to include comparisons to
similar programs proven to be effective in other states, as well as comparisons to CDC Best Practices, including
amendments thereto.
(b) Funding. In every year beginning with the calendar year after voters approve this amendment, the Florida
Legislature shall appropriate, for the purpose expressed herein, from the total gross funds that tobacco companies pay
to the State of Florida under the Tobacco Settlement, an amount equal to fifteen percent of such funds paid to the State
in 2005; and the appropriation required by this section shall be adjusted annually for inflation, using the Consumer
Price Index as published by the United States Department of Labor.
(c) Definitions. "Tobacco" includes, without limitation, tobacco itself and tobacco products that include tobacco and
are intended or expected for human use or consumption, including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco,
and smokeless tobacco. The "Tobacco Settlement" means that certain Settlement Agreement dated August 25, 1997,
entered into in settlement of the case styled as State of Florida, et al. v. American Tobacco Company, et al., Case No.
95-1466 AH (Fla. 15th Cir. Ct.), as amended by Stipulation of Amendment dated September 11, 1998; and includes
any subsequent amendments and successor agreements. "Youth" includes minors and young adults.
(d) Effective Date. This amendment shall become effective immediately upon approval by the voters.

Financial Impact Statement:
This amendment requires state government to appropriate approximately $57 million in 2007 for the Comprehensive
Statewide Tobacco Education and Prevention Program. Thereafter, this amount will increase annually with inflation.
This spending is expected to reduce tobacco consumption. As a result, some long-term savings to state and local gov-
ernment health and insurance programs are probable, but indeterminate. Also, minor revenue loss to state government
is probable, but indeterminate.

-Elsewhere, lows were in the 60s and 70s. Daytime highs were in the 70s,
;80s and 90s. Temperatures averaged near normal for the week in the major

| FIELD CROPS
' Peanut digging and cotton picking started in Santa Rosa County with
progress very slow. Elsewhere in the Panhandle, cotton already harvested
'averaged very low yields and low quality. Peanut condition was rated 10
.percent very poor, 20 percent poor, 45 percent fair, 20 percent good and 5
percent excellent. Ten percent of peanuts have been harvested compared
:with 23 percent last year and the five year average progress of 29 percent.
,The recent rain delayed some hay baling in the Panhandle and northern
:Peninsula, as well as in scattered parts of the central and southern
.Peninsula. Recent rainfall over the Panhandle improved soil moisture with
most supplies rated short to adequate. However, some very short soil mois-
:ture still exists in some Panhandle and northern Peninsula counties where
Xhe danger of wild fire is high. Elsewhere, soil moisture is mostly adequate
with Dade and Lee counties reporting areas of surplus soil moisture.

In the Panhandle and northern areas, grass growth is limited by shor
age of moisture. The pasture condition is poor to fair and the cattle are i
fair to excellent condition. Stock ponds water levels are very low. In th
central areas, pasture condition is poor to good and cattle condition is mos

tions needing sunny weather. Statewide, cattle condition ranges from fair t
excellent with most in good condition.

Showers and thunderstorms fell early in the week in all areas, gradua

rainfall at over an inch and a half followed by the northern areas at just ove
an inch. A few cool nights during the week brought temperatures down t
the mid to low 60s, before warming up towards the weekend. With most cil

But to the married people I give charge not I but the 'Lord
that the wife is not to separate from her husband. But if she
does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband.
And the husband, also that he should not put away or divorce his
wife.
I Corinthians 7:10-11
Chapter seven of First Corinthians has a lot to say about marriages, bi
Paul also talks about leading the life which the Lord has allotted to us
whether married or not. We are bought with a price and paid for by Jesu
Christ. Our lives are to glorify Him in whatever we do.
The single person can focus more fully on the Lord whereas the mar
ried person has to divide time between the Lord and their spouse and fan
ily. But if a person cannot live with self-control of their body, then to.kee
from sinning they should marry.
I Peter 3 has more to say about marriages. The ninth verse says never
to return evil for evil or insult for insult, but to pray blessing, happiness, an
protection over each other. This is so you can inherit a blessing from Go
as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection to you.
Verse 11 tells us to search for peace (harmony) and seek it eagerly pur
sue, go after it! A Golden Nugget would be seek peaceful relations.

\Over The Fence
By Dr. Ross A. Hendry

I- -LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY PURSE
st All of my life I have been short on organizational skills. The folks'
:r around me have not only been aware of it, but from time to time they have'
o been a little critical. However, a few years ago I stumbled onto something
t- that women do which gives them an advantage. They all carry a purse.
t- So about 10.years ago I started carrying a purse, to the consternation of.
y. some folks. For a guy who always wanted to be a cowboy, carrying a purse
d. is a pretty controversial thing to some people. I defend this on the basis that
is it helps me with organization since I am essentially void in the area.
is .... A few things have happened to demonstrate how poorly a guy like me
e carrying a purse is accepted by other people. One of the stories that really
g, alarmed me was the fact that one of my granddaughter's friends couldn't
*r spend the night with her because her granddaddy carried a purse.
t- The funniest one happened was in Okeechobee when I was doing a lot
1. of large animal consulting for a large number of dairies and ranches when
I was a bovine practitioner. I was having lunch with one of the ranch man-
agers in a little restaurant called Alice's. It is run by a second or third gen-,
eration of the same family, but it still has the name of the original owner.
When I went to pay the bill after we ate lunch the cashier was one of
= the daughters, and when I opened my purse to get some money she noticed
what I was doing. She was a large stocky woman with leathery skin from
too many years in the sun and she asked me if that was a camera and I said,
"no Ma'am, it's a purse."
I can't describe, her reaction, but when I turned around and looked at.
my ranch managerhe was beet red in the face. We walked outside and when
m we cleared the door and got away from everybody he practically shouted
"you son of a gun'" (that wasn't the exact quote, but it's close enough for
Something that will be published)'then mumbled, "You could have lied."
My, "purse" is about 5" x 6" and has a zipper around it to keep things
from falling out and there is an outside pouch with a snap for my sun'
shades,
It contains my credit cards, business cards, both mine and from other
businesses and scraps of paper with telephone numbers and addresses.
Many of them are without a reference to whose address or phone number,'.
ut but I just hate to throw them out.
s, I usually have a wad of gas receipts, insurance cards for the last five
is years, a map of the New York subways, cards for doctors' appointments,
and some cash somewhere in one of the crevices. However my purse does
r- not have a handle or straps.
- I have had people suggest I call it a day-planner, but it is in fact a
p purse.

JV Football Flails Dragons

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Seven different players put
points on the board.
Everyone got into the act as the
Hardee Junior Varsity Wildcats
trampled the Lake Placid junior
Dragons last Thursday night 48-0.
The victory puts the junior 'Cats
at 3-1 for the season. After a slow
start in game one, Hardee has
outscored opponents 81-14. To-
night (Thursday), they continue the
home streak with a visit from
Kissimmee Osceola.
They take to the road for games
Oct. 5 at Frostproof and Oct. 12 at
St. Pete Catholic and have an
OPEN date on Oct. 19 before the
season finale at home on Oct. 26
vs. Sebring.
"We just clicked from the open-
ing kickoff," described Hardee
head coach Rod Smith in talking of
last week's game. Nolan Neuhauser
had a great night. He leveled the
runner on the opening kickoff and
blocked a punt for a touchdowri
shortly afterward. He had a special
night on special teams."
Smith was surprised by the
Hardee margin of victory. "I
thought Lake Placid would play us
tougher as they did against Sebring.
They just came out flat. But, I'm
proud of our kids and our coaches.
They keep getting better every
week. They work hard, played hard
and had fun," continued Smith.
"We were able to get everyone in
the ball game. Late in the third
quarter and for' the fourth, Tony
Martinez went to quarterback and
,continued the good work," con-
cluded the head coach, who is
assisted by Barry White, Todd
Bolin, Dan Duke and James
Carpenter.
The Lake Placid back got only 10
yards on the kickoff return to start
the game at the Dragon 25. In three
plays the Dragons went only three
yards. Martinez returned the punt
15 yards and Hardee started in
great field position at the Lake
Placid 47.
Hardee went forward and back

on a penalty, forward and back on a
penalty. Finally quarterback Ezayi
Youyoute passed to Nick Battles
for an 18-yard gain and a first
down. Kelsheem White and Marvin
Cook got Hardee closer and
Youyoute went around right end for
the score. The Jesus Aguirre kick
was good.
Hardee scored twice again in the
first period. Lake Placid went
three-and-out and was forced to.
punt. Neuhauser blocked the punt
and scooped up the loose ball for a
10-yard jaunt into the end zone.
The PAT kick was too low, but
Hardee led 13-0.
On the punt from the next Lake
Placid series, Hardee started on the
Dragon 42. Youyoute surprised the
defense with a long pass into the
end zone for Juan Salazar for
another score. This time the kick
was good. With 1:24 left in the first
period, Hardee led 20-0.
Hardee kicked off again, and
again Neuhauser raced downfield
to stop the runner at the Dragon 9.
A good runback by Martinez on the
next punt was nullified by a penal-
ty. Undaunted, Hardee took just six
plays to go 57 yards to, score as
Hardee blockers made big holes.
The conversion kick sailed wide
right, but Hardee was up 26-0.
The junior Wildcats put another
tally on the board before halftime.
Hardee took over on downs on the
Dragon 27. Antjuan Jones gained
13 yards and then went around
right end for 14 more to score. The
kick was good. By halftime,
Hardee had a 33-0 lead.
Lake Placid kept possession to
finish out the half without scoring.
The Dragons mounted a bit of an
offense to,start the second half with
Decarius Spencer getting a couple
of first-down runs. But, eventually
Hardee took over on downs at the
Wildcat 38. A penalty moved the
'Cats backward before they could
go forward, White, Cook and Jones
combined with Youyoute to move
downfield and score just before the
third period ended. After a fake to
Cook, Youyoute went over left

tackle for the score and Aguirre
nailed the kick to make it 40-0.
For the rest of the third and all of
the fourth quarter, it was a running
clock. Josh Rogers returned the
Lake Placid puntl5 yards to set up
the final score. Martinez took over
at quarterback and used Michael
McTaw for some yardage. Martinez
gained a dozen yards, then pitched
to Rogers, who went around left
end for the last 20 yards to pay dirt.
Halfback Adam Cartwright passed
to Tyrell Smith for the two-point
conversion to make the final score
48-0.
Youyoute was three of four for
102 yards and one TD to Salazar.
Youyoute scored twice on runs and
Cook, Jones, Rogers, and Neu-
hauser accounted for other TDs.
Aguirre made four of six PAT
kicks.
In contrast, Lake Placid quarter-
back went 0-for-3 in passing and
had 32 carries for a net 70 yards.
Hardee had nine first downs en
route to seven TDs, while Lake
Placid had just four. Hardee had no
turnovers and Lake Placid had a
blocked punt and a fumble. Hardee
lost 50 yards on five penalties and
Lake Placid lost 20 yards on four
flags.
For Hardee, noticed on the tack-
le parade were Neuhauser, Marvin
Cook, Battles, Smith, Jonathan
Kelly, Haree Cook, Michael Dixon,
John Almarez, Conner Davis (with
a fumble recovery to boot) and a
host of linemen.
Staff writer Jim Kelly contributed
to this report.

Politics are a labyrinth without
a clue.
-John Adams

The things that will destroy us
are: politics without principle;
"pleasure without conscience;
wealth without work; knowl-
edge without character; busi-
ness without morality; science
without humanity; and worship
without sacrifice.
-Mahatma Gandhi

A millionaire died. He left stride
orders that he wasn't to be laid

As the gold Cadillac was being

Many people have been burie.

They have lived for time, noT

But our Lord asked,;"What shall

GAME OF THE WEEK
Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech

Buzzing fi

irgiiia Tech has built itself into a national powerhouse
thanks to a philosophy, known as "Beamrer Bull," that
places a premium on scoring points on defense and special
teams.
Georgia Tech got a firsthand education in Beamer Ball last
season when it traveled to Blacksburg, Va., for its first-ever
conference game against the Hokies. On the strength of all 87-yard
blocked field-goal return for a touclidown and two interception
retums for scores, Virginia Tech rolled to a 51-7 victory.
Unlike last season, the Yellow Jackets' offense will need to put
some points on the board to give their defense, also one of tihe
conference's best, a fighting chance on Saturday when Georgia
Tech returns to Lane Stadium for another shot at the defending
Coastal Division champions. The undefeated Hokies, who rank
second nationally in scoring defense and seventh in total defense,
have blocked four kicks this season ard are on the verge of
cracking the top 10 of the Associated Press national poll.
Records: Georgia Tech 3-1 (1-0 ACC Coastal); Virginia
Tech 4-0 (2-0 ACC Coastal). a Coaches: Georgia Tech's Chlai
Galley (55-34); Virginia Tech's Frank Beaner (192-102-4).
* Series: Virginia Tech leads 2-1. m Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET
Saturday. I TV: ABC.
Keys for Georgia Tech: Il addition to his arn. Reggie Ball
has to use his feet. Ball completed just II of 27 attempts in nlst
season's game. Georgia Tech's last three opponents have had 23
series that consisted of no more thlla three plays.
Keys for Virginia Tech: Ai effective uad efficient Sean
Glennon. Thie first-year starter is tops in the conference with
passer rating of 156.71.... Prove that it las one of the nation's
best secourdaries by shutting dowuo WR Calvin Jolhnsoil.

GROWTH/FACILITIES
Tfhe School Board's primary responsibility is to provide the very best
education facilities possible. As the projected growth rate of Hardee
County,continues to rise, the need for even more school facilities will
soon be a reality. With the opening of Hilltop Elementary/HJHi, it
was my privilege to be a part of the institution of the first new school in
Hardee County in over 25 years. However, understanding the 4-5 year
turnaround from planning to project completion, we are now in the
planning process for the future needs of our school system.

coming back to take the best two
out of three with wins of 25-12 and

In Pool 2 play, Hardee went
against Kathleen early Saturday
morning. Kathleen won the opener
25-19, but Hardee stormed back to

which Kathleen won 15-10.
At 10:30 a.m., the Hardee girls

"We played pretty well most of

team," said coach Ken Leupold, his
theme all season long..
Last Tuesday, Sept. 19, Hardee
traveled to Sarasota to play Booker,
a team Hardee had beaten earlier in
the season in Wauchula. This match
was another barn-burner. Booker
took Game One 25-19, with Lesley
Madden and Tiffany Kelley each
getting seven service points for the
Lady Tornadoes. Hardee's Madison
Graham and Danielle Hines coun-
tered with five service points.
apiece.
In Game Two, momentum swung
in Hardee's direction as the Lady
'Cats won 25-13 behind the service
of Bethany Lang who got the first
11 points of the game. D.K. Davis
added six and Megan White four
more.
Hardee went on to win Game'
Three 25-16 behind the serving of
Lang.and White, who got the final
four points of the game.
Game Four could have gone
either way, but Booker prevailed
25-21, with Kelley getting a half
dozen service points and Albina
Ovounova five more. Hardee ser-
vice points were evenly distributed,
with Amber Steedley with five,
Davis and Lang each four, Kember
Townsend and White each three
and Hines two.
Game Five was the clincher, as
Booker used its home court advan-
tage to nip Hardee 16-14. Lang
paced Hardee with service points 1.
to 4 and 12-14. Davis had three and
four other players had one each.
"We should have won it. We did-
n't come out strong for Game Four

Last Thursday Hardee hosted
Sebring, which came in with a 6-8
record, 4-4 in the district. Sebring
had first serve, but Hardee got the
first points. A kill by Krystin
Robertson and battle for points put
Hardee up 4-1. Sebring gradually
caught up, tying the game at 6-6, 8-
8 and 9-9 before Lady Streak junior
Ashley Waldon picked up a half
dozen service points to lead 15-9.
Hardee never quite recovered, but
got as close as 21-18 and 23-20
before Sebring got.the final pair of
points for the 25-20 win.
Hardee lost focus and Sebring
took advantage in-'Game Two, with
Hannah Shoop and Rachel Ashley
reeling off unanswered serves to
take a commanding 14-5 advan-
tage. Hardee had kills from
Madison Graham to get within 22-

the 25-18 win.
Hardee was not prepared to give

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson
SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND!
We readily agree with the practical wisdom in this statement.If you've
lost something, you're not likely to find it unless you get busy and start
looking in all the usual places: desk drawers, the closet, the bookcase, the
garage, etc.
A good beginning might be to ask another family member if they have
noticed the missing article tucked away somewhere.
But this statement in Scripture (Luke 12:31) refers to finding God!
How in the world is a person to do that?
Let me suggest a few time-honored ways:
(1) Consult the classics. Read the lives of St. Augustine, Francis of
Assisi, Brother Lawrence or St. Terese. These books and others are "clas-
sics" because they tell so well the search for God that others have made.
Why not benefit from their examples?
(2) Go to church. Get to know some of the Lord's present-day saints.
Ask them to share with you their own personal search for God. You may
receive some valuable advice.
S (3) Read the Bible regularly. This is God's holy word. Love it.
Memorize it. Apply it. Remember that the royal road to God is not discus-
sion and study but obedience.
(4) Prayer. I admit that this may seem like a wilderness for a begin-
ning. However, your perseverance will be rewarded. And "practice makes
perfect". Talk to God as a Father. Believe that He listens and that He wants
nothing more than to reveal His heart to:you! :

HJHS Football Starts Slow

was impressed with the offensive
line and the defense got so much
better. If we could take off those
first five minutes we would have
won."
Hardee scored in the second
quarter when Tre' Anderson ran the
ball in from the 8-yard line. The
two-point conversion failed.
As Hardee ran the ball up and
down the field, Anderson, Lincoln
Saunders and Jake Mayer were the
leading rushers for the game, said
White.
"The Hardee offensive line dug
in its heels and controlled the offen-
sive play of the game," noted
White, who named the starters as
