Crash Claims FrMan

At Citrus Forecast

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Tragedy befell an annual citrus
growers event last week when a
local man was killed in a crash at its
entrance.
Howard Eugene Elems, 78, of
3066 James Cowart Road, Wau-
chula, was stopped on East Main
Street preparing to turn into the Joe
L. Davis Barn when his pickup
truck was rear-ended by the west-
bound vehicle behind him.
Citrus growers from around the
area were gathering there for their
annual Citrus Forecast Breakfast.
The yearly event is sponsored by
the Peace River Valley Citrus
Growers Association, and attracts
200 growers at two locations, one
in Wauchula and one in Arcadia.
At the breakfast, the growers lis-
ten to the U.S. Department of
'Agriculture's first announcement of
its production prediction for the
upcoming citrus season.
According to a report filed by
Cpl. Gabe Garza of the Wauchula
Police Department, Elems had
stopped his westbound 2000 Ford
truck for a left turn onto Joe L.
Davis Barn Road, which is just
vest of Airport Road.
SIt was about 8:10 in the morning
on Thursday.
SA 1999 Ford pickup driven by

Travis Blair Bradley, 17, of 1644
Paula Dr., Wauchula, was west-
bound behind him. Garza said
Bradley "was distracted and did not
see the vehicle stopped.
"Upon realizing the vehicle was
stopped, (Bradley) applied the
brakes but was unable to avoid
striking the vehicle in the rear," the
investigating officer reported.
Garza said the 'collision sent
Elems' truck spinning counter-
clockwise into the eastbound lane
of East Main Street.
'There, his truck struck an east-
boatnd driver unable to avoid a sec-
ond crash, Garza said. That 2004

If you're worried about crowds
for the General Election on Nov.
7, there's an easy solution.
Early Voting begins Monday and
continues through Saturday Nov. 4.
Republicans, Democrats and In-
dependents can cast their ballots
from Monday through Saturday for
the next two weeks.
Voters can do so between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m. at the office of the
Supervisor of Elections, Suite 110
in Courthouse Annex II in Wau-
chula, 315 N. Sixth Ave., at the

17 South.
For the 2006 General Election,
there is a fairly lengthy ballot, with
a half dozen amendments, national,
state, circuit and a local race to be
decided.
The only county election is the
non-partisan vote for School Board

incumbent Joe H. Jones and chal-
lenger Paul G. Samuels. Neither
got a majority vote in the three-way
Primary Election.
In judicial elections, there are

For Pet

Owners!

By BRETT JARNAGIN
For The Herald-Advocate
Have you thought about "fixing"
your pets only to put the idea aside
because of the cost?
Hardee County Animal Control
has announced that beginning on
Monday it will be implementing a
new program that will allow pet
owners to sterilize their pets for
about a quarter of the usual
expense.
The Pet Awareness With Sterili-
zation Program, or P.A.W.S., is a
voucher program made possible by
the sale of specialty "Florida
Animal Friend" license plates.
Those that qualify for the vouch-
ers will be able to have their cat or
dog spayed or neutered for $25, as
opposed to the normal vet bill of
around $110.
Only residents who live in non-
incorporated areas of the county
can apply, so those within the city
limits of Bowling Green, Wauchula
and Zolfo Springs will still have to
pay the full price for sterilization.
To receive a voucher, Hardee
County residents must comply with
the following: be 18 years of age or
older, provide two forms of proof
of residency, complete the P.A.W.S.
Program application, pay a $25

The estimated Florida orange crop is 135 million boxes with 26 mil-
lion boxes of grapefruit. Prices look good for this season.
Citrus crop acreage has declined 17 percent in Florida during the past
two years.
Florida Citrus Mutual President J.A. Clark reported prices of $1.90 a
pound solids for earlies and $2.00 for Valencia oranges.
Local citrus grower Howard Elems, 78, who died in an auto accident
last Thirsday, was highly thought of and respected. He helped a lot'of older
people with simple household repair projects. Years ago he won canoe races
on Peace River. When the Chamber of Commerce sponsored annual canoe
races.
'The new mural being painted on the north side of the new Wauchula-
City Hall is beautiful. The building, which once was the A&P and
Thriftway grocery stores at various times, was purchased by the local hos-
pital and later donated to the city after plans fell through for a medical facil-
ity. The city spent nearly $1 million to renovate the building for city hall
aand the police department.
The mural shows a turpentine operation from the past, the cattle indus-
try, v vegetable farming, citrus groves and the phosphate industry. Th~tis a
project of Main Street Wauchula.
The Wauchula City Council plans to spend $16 million to triple the size
of the city sewer department to a capacity of three million gallons a day. To
.double the size would have cost $10 million, said city clerk James
-Braddock .
The city plans to use $3.25 million in state grants toward the project-
and borrow the rest (nearly $13 million) at 1.43 percent interest through the
state revolving fund via the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, said Braddock.
Several proposed projects have backed away for the time being, but
underway are just over 100 apartments at Valencia Gardens on Hwy. 17'
Northbound and nearly underway is a 62-single family homes project
called Hidden Creek on the old Clavel property off Louisiana Street.

The October air is quite brisk in
the evenings, a welcome relief from
the hot and hiimid days of summer
in the South. It is a joy to sit on a
screened porch in a lounge chair or
rocker with a sweet tea and chat
with neighbors or friends about cur-
rent events or the fact that the but-
terflies seem to be returning from
the'North. "
Talking about flora and fauna, I
did see a rather large black snake in
my yard last month, coiled up next
to my garden hose sunning himself.
A neighbor kindly informed me not
to mess. with the black snakes
because they eat the rodents and
small mice in the yard. Since the
snake was the same size, it seemed,
as my garden hose, I happily left
him to nature's setting.
Three weeks later, however, a,
small stringy black slithery snake
sneaked into my sanctuary my
screened Florida room-- and was
not welcome to stay! After using a
spade as my lance to spear this ser-
pent, I discovered.that he'was not a
simple black snake but had dia-
mond scales on his leathery hide. I
thought perhaps: it. was a hybrid.
pigmy rattler and black snake, but
an authority on local wildlife sug-;
gested 'that it was a black racer
instead.
Talking about pigmy rattlers, last
week at Bowling Green Elementary'
there was a small brown slender
pigmy rattler entangled on the top'
of the playground fence directly in,
front of our classrooms. The chil-:
dren were all lined up in rows
according to, teacher and grade; a,
teacher pointed to the snake as she
was talking to 'another teacher.'
Well, when I heard there was a
snake so close and perhaps danger-
ous to the children as well as others,
I immediately searched my room
for a good lance to protect those in
potential danger. All I could find
was an old umbrella and some PVC
pipe for a project we have not com-
pleted yet for science.
... Another teacher offered to loan,
me her shovel. ,'.
I took it in hand and went after
the menace on top of the fence. I
struck it. three times, but it was
sneaky: and went under the chain-
link fence so I could not easily do
away with it. Gretchen Wilkins was
searching for it on the sidewalk
when I graciously handed her the
shovel, over the five-foot fence, and
pointed to the serpent in the crack
of the sidewalk.
Well, needless to say, it was a
pigmy rattler. It was carefully dis-
posed of and all is safe for.another
day on the Bowling Green play-
ground in Hardee County, Florida.

Beware the fury of a patient
man.

Pet owners can pick the Hardee
County veterinarian of their choice
to have the operation performed,
but they are responsible for trans-
portation to and from the doctor's

"We are hoping to limit the
amount of strays and unwanted ani-
mals in the county," said Teresa
Carver of Hardee County Animal
Control. "Through the P.A.W.S.
Program we hope to spread aware-
ness of the benefits of pet steriliza-
tion to those citizens in rural areas
of the county," she added,
Benefits to having animals steril-
ized include giving them a longer
healthier life, lowering the risk of
certain cancers and having fewer
behavioral problems.
"In addition to the P.A.W.S.
Program, we also want to raise
awareness. for pet'-adoption,,-said
Carver. 0 .* q ':
Adopting from Animal Control is
one of the safest, easiest and cheap-
est ways to get a new pet, she said.
Pet adoption fees are only $45, and
that price covers basic needs of
pets.
'"To break it down '$25 goes to
sterilizing the cat or dbg, $10 goes
to giving it the proper rabies vacci-
nation and $10 goes to processing
the adoption," Carver, explained.
Last year alone. 1,512 cats and
dogs were impounded at Hardee
County Animal Control kennels. A
total of 1,171 of those animals were
euthanized. With the cheaper prices
for sterilization, the department
.hopes the number of euthanized
unwanted animals will drop consid-
erably by limiting the pet popula-
tion.

Dear Editor:
On behalf of the board of direc-

Bigs we have served, I want to
express my deep appreciation to the
community for the support it has
provided Florida Ridge Big
Brothers Big Sisters over the years.
I also want to share some exciting
news.
For the last four years Florida
Ridge BBBS has participated in the
Life Management classes at Hardee
High School. With the support of
their teachers, these teens have
served as Big Brothers and Big
Sisters to elementary students in

Hardee County Schools.
Bigs and Littles meet for one-to-
one mentoring in the classroom,
school library, cafeteria or on the
playground. They typically meet
once a week to read together, work
on math, play sports, or simply talk
about life and personal 'issues -
just as friends do. We have been
unable to keep up with the growing
number of Littles who are waiting
to be matched with a Big.
Because agencies our size face a
constant struggle for survival
everywhere in the country, BBBS

encouraged smaller agencies to

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.

SBy JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
S Both Hardee teams downed visit-
Sing Frostproof last week.
I: In the final regular-season home
Snatches on Oct. 10, the varsity
Lady Wildcats defeated the varsity
'Lady Bulldogs 25-16, 20-25, 25-
S19, 25-19. And, the junior varsity
girls also beat the Bulldogs, 25-18,
19-25, 15-12.
The strong play the Hardee girls
showed against Frostproof on
Senior Night didn't last when they
began the Class 4A-District 10
tournament on Monday night as the
DeSoto Bulldogs fashioned a three-
set a victory. DeSoto and Palmetto
were tied for the district's top slot,
each with 11-1 records. Palmetto
won the coin toss for the top seed.
S Hardee is hosting the district
tournament which continues this
week. On Tuesday night, fourth-
Sseeded Braden River faced fifth-
seed Sarasota Booker at 6 p.m. and
third-seed Sebring took on Avon
,Park at 7:30 p.m. Play continued on
SWednesday night with DeSoto tak-
ing on the winner of the
Sebring/Avon Park game at 6 p.m.
and Palmetto tackling the winner of
the Braden River/Booker game at
'7:30. The Wednesday winners
"clash in the championship game
'tonight (Thursday) at 7.
SOn Oct. 10, after pre-game
SSenior Night ceremonies, the Lady
Wildcats were pumped up, jumping
'but to a 3-0 win lead behind the
serving of senior Bethany Laig.
SErica Staub answered for Frost-
S 'proof, tying the game and taking a
'4-3 advantage. A set by Danielle
"Dani" Hines and kill by D.K.
Davis took the next point and
evened the game at 4-4.
Kember Townsend put Hardee
'up 6-4, only to have Essence Davis
'tie it up again. When Hines had
three service points to put the
Wildcats up 10-8, they would not
Surrender that lead, building it
i slowly and gradually with serves
by Megan White, Sarah Mahoney
and Townsend and went on to win
game 1 by a 25-16 score.

PHOTO BY JOAN SEAMAN:
Honored on Senior Night were volleyball seniors (from left) D.K. Davis with her parents Larry and
Kim Davis; Madison Graham with her parents Dan and Jean Graham; Danielle "Dani" Hines with
her parents Rosalind Wall and Alan Hines; Bethany Lang with her parents Angel and Scott Lang;
and Sarah Mahoney with her parents Tracy and Patrick Mahoney.

Hardee got a good Lang streak to
get going in game 2, with White
adding four more points so Hardee
had a 9-3 edge. Stephanie Heath
got a hot hand for the Bulldogs to
cut that to 9-7. As the teams battled
for points, Frostproof"s Straub tied
the game. It was tied twice more
before a Heath surge put the game
out of reach for Hardee. Frostproof
won 25-20.
Game 3 was another barn-burner,
with Frostproof getting the early
lead. Behind Davis serves Hardee
forged back, tying the game at 7-7
and 8-8 before going ahead for
awhile. Frostproof wouldn't quit
and came back to tie the game at
13-13, 14-14 17-17 and 18-18
before Hines got a hot hand and ran
off the final six service points for
the 25-19 win.
Game 4 was similar, with early
ties before a Davis serving streak
put the 'Cats ahead. Hines and
White added more service points to
make it 15-9. Mahoney, Lang,
Townsend and Davis again finished

For the week ended October 12, 2006:
At the Florida Livestock Auctions, receipts totaled 14,452 compared
to 13,050 last week and 13,479 a year ago. According to the Florida

it off as a Madison Graham block
dropped the ball back on the
Bulldog side of the net for the 25-
19 game and match winner.
Graham and Hines had a half
dozen kills apiece, with Davis
adding five and Mahoney four. She
also had four aces, while Davis had
two aces and Lang was high server
with six aces and 10 good serves.
White added three aces and 10
good serves.
Lang, a setter, was high with
seven assists, while libero Marissa
Hall was high with 14 passes.
Graham had four blocks, Townsend
three and Krystin Robertson two.
The JV games versus Frostproof
were close, too. Hardee won the
opener 25-18 behind eight service
points from Naomi Alvarado. In
game 2, Hardee lost 19-25, with
four service points apiece by
Alejandra Rodriguez, Chelsey
Steedley and Esmeralda Martinez.
Frostproof broke out in front in
game 3, before Marisa Shivers tied
the game. Hannah Marshall and
Steedley pulled Hardee ahead,
Steedley getting eight service
points to put the junior Lady Cats
up 13-8. Frostproof narrowed that
to 13-10 before Martinez put the
game away 15-12.
"Some of these kids had never
played before and we grew as a
team as the season went and the
chemistry became good at the end.
It was a very good way to end,"
said each Meredith Durastanti.
Others on the JV squad' are

Halley Marshall, Ariel Hernandez,
Katie Rogers and Dana Shoffner.
The varsity season ended abrupt-
ly in the first round of the district
playoffs when Hardee couldn't
handle the overpowering DeSoto
servers. In game one, soph Jodi
Vessels ran off the first 11 points of
the game before Hardee was able to
regroup and get a couple of points
off Lang serves. Though Hardee
never quit and tried "to keep that
Wildcat Spirit Up," they were out-
matched and lost Game 1, 25-9.
Although Hardee had first serve
in game two, that was lost with yet
another drop of the net by 6-0 Lady
Bulldog Brittany Muse. Chloe
Boehm then put her team up 6-0
before White got a couple of points
and a Davis kill stopped the next
DeSoto service cold.
Overall, the Lady Wildcats put
up a better defense and kept the
game within reach. But repeated
blocks and kills by Muse took their
toll and Hardee lost game 2, 25-15.'
DeSoto picked up the tempo in
game 3 and won handily 25-8.
Hardee had two blocks from
Townsend and one apiece from
Davis, Amber Steedley, Hines and
Graham. Hall led with nine solid
returns and eight good passes.
Davis had five kills.
Hardee loses Mahoney, Davis,
Lang, Hines and Graham to gradu-
ation but expects juniors Hall,
Steedley and White back, along
with sophs Townsend and Robert-
son.

Arsenic Law: Circuit Judge W.J.
Barker late Saturday night an-
nounced a decision upholding the
constitutionality of the Florida cit-
rus arsenic spray law and denying
an injunction that would prohibit its
enforcement. The decision was
handed down after the case was
heard before Judge Barker at his
office in Sebring a week previous.
L. Maxcy and L. Maxcy Inc. of
Frostproof; R.D. Keene of Eustis
and Barnard Kilgore of Clearwater,
citrus fruit shippers, attacked the
constitutionality of the law and
sough an injunction to prevent
Commissioner of Agriculture
Nathan Mayo from enforcing it.
The complaints against the law
were that it delegated arbitrary
powers to the commissioner of agri-
culture; because its title was defec-
tive and because it provided no

chula, 14 To 0: Wauchula's hard-
fighting football eleven came very
near meeting disaster here last
Friday when the offense failed to
click for three quarters of a bitterly
fought contest. Only in the fourth
and last quarter did the locals cling
to the pigskin long enough to shove
across the necessary scores.
It was McInnis to Murphy for a
15-yard pass that netted the first
score and gave Wauchula the inspi-
ration to make another. Murphy
made a beautiful catch of the pass to
score, and a moment later McInnis
booted it through the uprights for
the extra point. The fourth quarter
was waning now and another pass
by the same route netted a score and
a line buck added the extra mark to
give the Wauchulans their 14 points
and victory.

ANY Oldest Resident Here Has Lived
OR 95 Years: To Adam Adkinson, for-
T'S mer slave and familiar character in
this Wauchula, goes the honor of being
the oldest living person- in this city
according, to local residents.
Adkinson, who was a slave in the
Mitchiel family in Georgia before
Lincoln freed the slaves with his
famous Emancipation Proclamation

years, and claims to be 102.

his age. Another man from Bowling
Green, Ben Carter Bynum, says he
was 49 years old when the war
closed in 1865, which would put his
age at 115. Inquiry made in
Kernsha.w county S.C., where Ben
served as a slave, reveals that he is
just about as old as he claims.

50 YEARS AGO
Wildcats And Highlanders Tie In
Fast Game: The Hardee High Wild-
cats and the Lake Wales Highland-
ers matched touchdowns and extra
points last Friday night at Farr Field
and wound up in a 20 to 20 tie in a
game that had 2,000 fans on the
edge of their seats.
It was a wide-open offensive
game all the way, with long runs
and long pass plays adding to the
excitement. Highlights for the
Wildcats were the hard running of
Halfback Lynn Foskey, the bulldoz-
ing of Captain John Terrell from his
fullback post, the passing and play-
mixing of Quarterback Billy
McCall and the defensive play of
the middle of the Wildcat line.

Sgt. Joseph Page On Marine
Maneuvers: On maneuvers with the
1st Marine Brigade in Hawaii Sept.
26 to Oct. 3 was Sgt. Joseph A.
Page, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.W.
Page, of Route 1, Wauchula. He is
an operations clerk. The Brigade
was air-lifted from the island of
Hawaii to the Kaneohe Bay Marine
Corps Air Station on Qahu in one of
the biggest air operations ever con-
ducted by the Marine Corps.
Starting with the explosion of a
half-billion candlepower bomb,
simulating a nuclear drop, the war
games were the final phase of two
months of intensive training on
three of the Hawaiian Islands.
Principal assault element was the
reinforced 4th Regiment, ground
unit of the brigade. The air arm,
Marine Aircraft Group 13, provided
all types of aerial support.

25 YEARS AGO
Bryan Joins Other Sheriffs In
Appealing: More than a dozen
county sheriffs throughout the state
of Florida are appealing their bud-
gets this year, and Hardee County's
Sheriff Doyle Bryan is no excep-
tion. At last week's commission
meeting, the Board of County
Commissioners received a written
Notice of Appeal from Bryan
through his attorney, Ronald A.
Labasky.
The original proposed budget of
$1,378,235 for the operation of the
Hardee County Sheriff's Office for
the fiscal year which began Oct. 1,
1981, was later amended by a letter
from Bryan to the commissioners
requesting additional personnel,
raising the proposed budget figure
to $1,410,990. Bryan has requested
five new road deputies, six correc-
tional officers and one civil deputy-
bailiff for this fiscal year.

Wildlife Benefit From Conserv-
ation Practices: Many landowners
and farmers have never planted a
wildlife food plot, erected a wood
duck nesting box or flooded a field
for ducks. Yet most landowners and
farmers have the opportunity to
benefit wildlife through soil protec-
tion and other conservation prac-
tices they apply on their land. Any
practice which reduces soil erosion
benefits wildlife.
As topsoil is lost, productive land
for wildlife food and cover is
reduced. Soil that erodes into
streams or lakes damages the quali-
ty of that habitat. Soil conversation
practices such as wind strips, over-
fall pipes and grassed waterways
are not thought of as wildlife prac-
tices, but they directly benefit
wildlife by protecting the soil and
reducing damage from erosion.

The Hardee County Sheriff's
office recently cleared up numerous
thefts and burglary cases in the
county as a result of months of
investigation by the entire detective
division. Det. Jan Rhodes, who

headed up'the investigations'along
with Det. Hershel Selph, said they
managed to crack three major bur-
glary rings operating in the county
and recovered property in 12 differ-
ent cases worth over $30,000.
The recovered stolen property
includes a tractor and a fertilizer
spreader, a well pump, shotguns, an
air conditioner, walkie talkies, tools
and many other items. Rhodes said
the detectives began following up
leads on stolen property in June.
They found the thefts involved four
different groups: two local burglary
rings, consisting of two individuals
each; an out-of-state ring; and one
local individual.

10 YEARS AGO
Former ZS Cop Files Federal
Lawsuit: A former Zolfo Springs
police officer is suing the town in
federal court for alleged civil rights
violations. The action, filed in U.S.
District Court for the middle
District of Florida in Tampa, lists
Gloria Stewart as plaintiff and
names the town of Zolfo Springs as
defendant.' It was served upon
Mayor Lois Dandridge and Town
Clerk Jack Logan late last
Wednesday afternoon.
In it, Stewart claims gender dis-
crimination, sexual harassment and
retaliatory discharge, beginning in
November of 1992. She seeks an
unspecified award, including front
pay and benefits, back pay and ben-
efits, job restoration, compensatory
damages, punitive damages, pen-
sion benefits, attorney's fees and
costs.

THE LAMB AT SCHOOL
I am proud of Hardee County. I am proud to live here and proud of
the people I know who live here.
I know the mainstream pressure from much of society and most in our
legal system is to.keep God as far away from public schools as possible, but
here in Hardee County we hold strong to the moral teachings of the Bible
and the saving message of Christ.
I recently found this little poem, titled "Mary Had a Little Lamb,".that
I thought was applicable.
Mary had a little Lamb
Its fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day,
Twasn't even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play
To have the Lamb at school.
And then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His name.
Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gunshots and tears.
What must we do to stop the crime
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray!
May this poem touch your heart. May this poem hit home about the
importance of believing and following Christ. It is only there that happiness
and joy is found.
As has been said by many preachers, "The pursuit of happiness never
leads to holiness, but the pursuit of holiness always leads to happiness!"
I don't know who wrote this clever poem, but I appreciate the heart's
need for Christ-exalting education. And that is the kind of education that we
can still receive here in Hardee County.
The system here is not perfect, but it is better than what'you will find
in other areas of our state and country. And in the wake of many school
shootings, horrible news reports about violence in our schools'and other
tragedies across the country, we can know that as long as we keep the Lamb
in our schools, Mary, Johnny and little Suzie can run home happy and care-
free.
"And the peace of God which.passes all understanding shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Phi 4:7). I'm Telling the Truth

.on reclaimed phosphate land.
I would just like to remind the
people of this county that there is a
definite downside to phosphate
strip mining which you may never!
realize if you believe all the hype
and public relations. It doesn't take:
a genius to look at how strip mining
works to figure out how it affects
the function of an eco-system.
Regulation of the phosphate-fer-
tilizer industry didn't really occur
till about 30 years ago. For the pre-
vious 75 years the industry was
self-regulating and only reclaimed
strip mines when they felt they
could afford it. By 1975 when
reclamation became mandatory'
there was a huge inventory of unre-
claimed phosphate mines in the 200
square miles of mined land in Polk
and Hillsborough counties.
State severances taxes were
levied to cover the reclamation of
those old mines, but in recent years
most of that reclamation fund has
been spent trying to stabilize an
abandoned gypsum waste stack in

History: The Hurric

By SPESSARD STONE
For The Herald-Advocate
From Warren O. Johnson's "October Hurricane Straddled The State" and
:The Florida Advocate of Friday, Oct. 20 and 27, 1944.
On Oct. 18-19, 1944, a hurricane, causing much destruction in the rich
agricultural section of Florida, passed across the state. The eye of the hur-
ricane was unusually large with a diameter of nearly 40 miles as it
approached Florida. The calm center passed over the Dry Tortugas from 4
to 6 p.m. on Oct. 18 where the lowest pressure then so far reported occurred
28.02 inches aneroidd uncorrected). The wind on a special airways type:
anemometer recorded 120 miles per hour for two consecutive hours before
it was finally blown away.
Northward movement continued and the calm center passed into
Florida on the west coast near Sarasota during the early hours of Oct. 19
and was over Tampa from 6 to 7 a.m., over Ocala from about 1030ona'm. to.
2 p.m., Jacksonville from 1:30 to 5 p.m., and over Savannah, Ga from 9
p.m. to 12:55 a.m.
The entire Florida peninsula from the Keys to Georgia and westward
nearly to Tallahassee, as well as the coastal sections of Georgia and South
Carolina, experienced winds of gale to hurricane force. The area of
strongest winds and greatest damage in Florida occurred in a belt 20 to 50
miles east of the path of the calm center, although no sectidil of the penin-
sula escaped damage.
The belt of highest wind and greatest damage took in the rich citrus and
truck producing-areas of Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, DeSoto, Hardee, Polk,
Orange and Lake counties. The wind and heavy rain caused considerable
damage in the Okeechobee region. Other sections of Florida also suffered'
crop loss.
The Florida Advocate of Friday, Oct. 20, 1944, reported on the local;
effect:
Hurricane Hits Hardee County, Worst Storm In .History Hits:
Wednesday Night; Big Loss.
The property loss in the city will run into thousands of dollars although
no homes were destroyed. In the county, the loss is heavy, approximately,
more than $1 million.
Hardee County and Wauchula were visited last Wednesday night and
Thursday morning by the worst storm in its history. Fully 85 per cent of the
grapefruit was on,the ground while oranges fared a little better and it is
believed that 65 per cent of that crop was also on the ground.
The property damage in the city of Wauchula was quite heavy, large
plate glass windows of buildings occupied by Lessley's, the 5 and 10 cent
store and Badcock's Furniture Store, were broken. Large oak trees in dif-
ferent parts of the city were uprooted; the large palms in front of the Hotel
Simmons were twisted off. Pieces of fronts, awnings and other debris lit-
tered the city. Main Street leading east from the railroad was blocked at
both ends by the fallen trees .. The wind reached a velocity estimated at
75 miles per hour.
The tin roof on the J.W. Earnest & Co. building was rolled up and!
blown off and some of the goods stored upstairs was damaged. The front of

You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your
heart.
Jeremiah 29:13

Have you been praying for revival to hit Hardee County? Do you real-
ly know what you are praying for? Does it sound like an exciting three-day
meeting?
We may believe many different things will take place, but in a true.
revival drunkenness, pornography and drug abuse go out of style. Crime is
greatly reduced. A new level of morality and new level of prosperity will
accompany most true revivals.
Repentance, harvest and societal change are the results of revival.
Revival is God visiting His Church. Yes, His omnipresence is everywhere
and we may even know His indwelling presence, but when He manifests
His presence in a given time and place, our physical senses know it in a tan-
Sgible way.
When significant transitions in our spiritual lives have occurred, it'.
most always occurs when we are visited by God's presence. It may occur in
a church service, when driving in your car, sitting at home alone or even
taking a shower. You may have a wave of emotion or weeping inexplicably.
There is so much that can be said and'not enough time or room, but in'
the big revivals in the past the whole town would know a change had taken
place in people and in the atmosphere. Repentance comes. Joy comes.
Revival is the manifested glory of God and is Him, not it or an event.
Revival does not come by seeking it, but by seeking Him.
| A Golden Nugget would be to seek Him so you will find Him and all
!His glory.

me Of October 1944.

the roof of the building occupied by the Davis Feed- & Fertilizer Store was
blown away. Portions of-the roof of the Bryan Taxi Co. were blown off. The
galvanized iron building just south of the Carlton Fruit Co. was blown.
down and demolished. The roof of the Anderson building, occupied by
Weiner's Department Store, lost a portion of its roof. The Hardee County
See & Crate Company lost a portion of the front of its warehouse when the
concrete blocks toppled over.
The Florida Advocate of Oct. 27, 1944 continued that power lines all
,over the city, out since the previous Thursday morning, would not be
restored for another week.
Afterword: In the United States storms and hurricanes originally had
no names and in the 19th century were referred to by their longitude, lati-
tude and date of origin. In the Caribbean, however, the tradition for cen-
turies had been to name the storms after the saints' day on which they
:struck. For example, the Great Okeechobee Hurricane of September 1928
that killed 1,500 in the Caribbean and ovei ,500 estimated in Florida, was
commonly called Hurricane San Felipe as ithit Puerto Rico on Sept. 13,
San Felipe's Day.
In 1950 the U.S. Weather Bureau commenced titling storms using the
Army/Navy phonetic alphabet: Able, Baker, Charlie, etc. In 1953 they
began using female names and in 1979 began alternating male and female
names. Whenever a storm is particularly violent, its name is retired so there
will never again be a another Andrew, Camille, Hugo or Katrina.

Florida Orange Crop Estimated

At 135 Million Boxes By USDA

Diseases, development and lost
Desire have resulted in a 17 percent
reduction in citrus acreage over a
two-year period in Florida. This
reduction in acreage and its con-
tributing factors are confirmed by
the lower than expected 2006-07
Scrop forecast announced by the
SU.S. Department of Agriculture
S(USDA).
The 135-million-box total
' Florida orange crop is a decrease
over last year's total Florida orange
crop which totaled 147.9 million
boxes. It does not return the crop to
its pre-storm high of 242 million
boxes.
The 135 million total boxes of
Oranges is comprised of 68.7 mil-
.,: lion early and mid-season oranges
to be picked from now until March
: 2007, 63 million boxes of Valencia
,. oranges to be picked from March to
-, June 2007, and 3.3'million boxes of

Navels.
Early estimates by private com-
panies reflected numbers from 123
million to 165 million boxes, a wide
range, leave grower unsure of what
to expect from the coming season.
Growers hope the reduced crop
will increase fruit prices. Barbara
Carlton, executive director of Peace
River Valley Citrus Growers Asso-
ciation, says growers will need
higher prices to contend with rising
costs, many associated to fuel costs.:
"Growers are expecting to again
be dealing with higher costs across
the board for items such as crop
products, fuel, equipment, insur-
ance and labor. Higher prices paid
to the grower are important to
assure growers remain profitable. If
not, we will see more agricultural
lands lost," she said.
The USDA also announced their
estimate of the 2006-07 grapefruit

crop, which totals 26 million boxes.
This number is comprised of 9 mil-
lion boxes of white grapefruit and
17 million boxes of colored grape-
fruit. Fresh grapefruit production is
struggling with new regulations
,regarding interstate shipments
because of determination that citrus
canker is endemic in Florida.
"Other citrus producing states
will not accept our fresh fruit ship-
ments to assure they do not inadver-
tently spread the disease in their
production area. This could reduce
grapefruit juice prices to growers as
inventories climb with more fresh
grapefruit moving to the juice mar-
ket," said Carlton.
Peace River Valley Citrus
Growers Association on Oct. 12
hosted breakfasts featuring the
announcements. Approximately
200 growers enjoyed breakfast at
two heartland locations, the Arcadia

Wauchula. Breakfast at the Elks

Growers Association represents
commercial citrus growers in

tion of Charlotte County.
"A 135 million box crop is note-
worthy, considering what the
Florida citrus industry has endured
during the past several years four
hurricanes, a canker eradication and
suppression program, and signifi-
cant citrus acreage sold to develop-
ers," said Florida Citrus Mutual
Executive Vice President/CEO
Michael W. Sparks. "We lost 17
percent of our state's citrus trees
over the past two seasons, but it
appears that the remaining trees
will provide us with a good, quality
harvest for 2006-07."
The Florida grapefruit estimates,
however, are up significantly this
year. The USDA predicts 26 trillion
boxes will be produced, up, from
19.3 million last season for a 35
percent increase.
For Florida specialty fruit, the

-/

USDA predicts 1.1 million boxes of
tangelos and 4.6 million boxes of
tangerines, including 2.4 million
boxes of early varieties and 2.2 mil-
lion boxes of honey tangerines.
The yield for frozen concentrate
orange juice (FCOJ) is expected to
be 1.5 gallons per 90-pound box.
"Labor appears to be sufficient to
meet all of our industry's needs this
season," Sparks said. "We'll contin-
ue to monitor labor requirements as
the season progresses; but as
Florida citrus rebounds from the
natural disasters of the past few
years, labor will be of the utmost
importance in the future."
Florida Citrus Mutual supports a
comprehensive national immigra-
tion policy that institutes a program
that allows legal temporary and sea-
sonal workers.
According to Sparks, "Compre-
hensive immigration reform is a
major priority for Florida Citrus
Mutual and the Florida citrus indus-
try. Our industry may not need leg-
islation this season; but there is no
doubt that as we return to total crop
sizes of 200 million boxes in the
near future, adequate labor will
become a significant problem."
The citrus industry is vital to the
state of Florida, providing a $9.1
billion annual economic impact,
employing nearly 90,000 people,
and covering more than 620,000
acres.
Founded in 1948 and currently
representing nearly 10,000 grower
members, Florida Citrus Mutual is
the state's largest citrus growers',

J.A. Clark, president of Florida
Citrus Mutual, said on Monday he
has heard of some prices of $1.90 a
pound solids for early and mid-sea-
son oranges and $2.00 a pound
solids for Valencias.
Barbara Carlton of PRVCGA said
on Oct. 12, the typical prices were
$1.75 for hamlins and $1.80 for
Valencias.
"Citrus prices may be good for 10
years," said Ben Albritton, a board
member of the Florida Citrus
Commission and PRVCGA.
Carlton said, "There has been a
lot of resets of citrus trees and inter-
est in buying groves, but no new
developments of groves in our'
area." She said citrus acreage is
down more in Hardee due to land
sales and tristeza than in DeSoto
which was hit harder by canker.
One grower said pick and haul
prices at the end of the Valencia
season this year reached $3.25 a
box. Pick and haul costs for the past
season were generally over $2 a
box.

THE EPIC BATTLE GOOD VS. EVIL
Sexual misconduct, adultery, perversion, deviants, sexual crimes, child
abductions, Internet predators, sexual temptations.
They are all around us every day in written form, on the radio, on tele-
vision. You say you can choose not to read it; to turn off the radio and the
TV. But what about your co-workers, your family and friends? How about
the people in front of you in the line at the grocery store?
Can you escape it? Can you get away from evil? No, not totally.
You can certainly shelter yourself and your family from evil as best
you can, but you can never totally escape it because Satan walks the earth
with us. Don't believe me? Well, do you believe the Bible? Job 1:7 says,
"The Lord said to Satan, 'Where have you come from?' Satan answered the
Lord, 'From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it.' "
And 2 Corinthians 10:14-15 says, "And no wonder, for Satan himself mas-
querades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then, if his servants mas-
querade as servants of righteousness."
Masquerading as servants of righteousness. Hmmm. Could that be like
people whom we trust with our children, such as teachers, pastors, child-
care volunteers, grandparents or people of power in society, government
officials, even presidents?
The show '"To Catch a Predator" gives us hard evidence that sexually
immoral people are in every walk of life. I have seen police officers, pas-
tors, teachers, fathers, government officials, military personnel and the
average everyday Joe caught in these sting operations. I have seen these
shows aired time and time again, and I am amazed how many people still
seek out children for sex on the Internet, but even more amazed at how
many show up at the house. Arid many of them confessing they have seen
:th show!f'es that'not show you how powerful sexual immorality, is?
k' And,'by the way, don't get upset or take me the wrong way. I'm notvsay-
ing everyone who fits in those categories is evil and sexually immoral. I am
simply saying no one or no type person is immune from being deceived by
the devil.
Satan uses people's weaknesses to his advantage for those that are in
these positions. How many teachers have recently been in the news for sex
with a minor? How many pastors? How many government officials' careers
have ended because of sexual misconduct?
Sexual immorality is one of the most prevalent sins that Satan uses to
deceive people and to hold them captive. He knows it makes people feel
dirty and like they are no good anymore. They even think God would never
forgive them for what they have done; the One who loves all and forgives
all, no matter what the sin. Why is it so hard to believe you can be forgiv-
en? Because it's a very personal thing with you and your body.
Sexual immorality is a tool of the devil to bring so much destruction to
the world. The Bible explains in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 why it is the. worst:
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside the
body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know
that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have
received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price
(With the blood of Jesus, the Son of God). Therefore honor God with your
body."
In Matthew 15:19-20, Jesus is speaking, "For out of the heart come evil
thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slan-
der. These are what make a man unclean".
Sexual immorality is one of the worst of all sins. It leads to all the
things listed above. Does it not cause a man to lie, deceive, use as power
over another and even to kill? Does it not bring unwanted pregnancies that:
can result in abortion, or children being murdered after birth? How about
diseases that can not be cured?
I mentioned police officers before caught on the "Dateline" show. Do
you, fellow officers, know which misconduct charge most officers lose
their certification over? That's right, sexual misconduct, usually listed as
sex on duty. Even we, soldiers of Christ and the sons of God, are not safe.
(Matthew 5:9 says, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called
sons of God.")
Sexual immorality is a plague that has overtaken the world. It has
affected every aspect nothing and no one is safe.
How can you protect yourself, how can you ward off evil? Well, you
alone cannot, but there is One who can protect you Jesus!
All you have to do is ask Jesus into your life. Give your life to Him
and you will be protected. It's as simple as that.
With Jesus in your life, you can fight the devil with no fear. Jesus has
already conquered death. He has already defeated Satan! Satan has no hold
on you unless you allow it, unless you invite him in with your sinful ways.
Rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus Christ, resist him (resist temptation) and
he will flee from you.
Are we, officers, not examples to society as to how to live, how to con-
duct ourselves? Have not some of our brothers and sisters failed? Some
have, though a very small percentage. Of the over 500,000 officers in the
United States, only about one percent are decertified for sexual misconduct,
but it does happen unfortunately.
I am calling out to all Christian officers and officers who want to
become Christians to take a stand with their colleagues and the public
to be an example of righteousness to society, to the children, to each
other and most importantly to God.
We would not lie down and become a victim when a crfme is being
committed, right? We would fight with all our might, sometimes even sac-
rificing our lives! Well, then, don't lie down and become a victim to Satan,
get up and fight!
God bless you, and I pray that you seek Him out to give you the
strength you need to fight off evil.

Letter To The Editor

World War II Hero Was Not

Given Proper-Respect By Students

Dear Editor:
The following excerpt is from an
article in the September issue
American Legion Magazine: "Lt.
Col. Gregory 'Pappy' Boyington,
receives the Navy Cross from
Marine Corps Commandant Gen.
A.A. Vandergrift in 1945.
In February, 45 members of the
University of Wasiington's student
senate voted not to support the cre-
ation of a campus memorial to the
famous alumnus and World War II
hero, questioning why the universi-
ty should pay tribute to a Marine
"who killed people." In April:how-
ever, a resolution was passed to
honor five Medal of Honor recipi-

ents who attended UW.
As a veteran of WWII the atti-
tude of these students makes my
blood boil. In case they do not
know his job was to kill Japs. He
did so with great skill and dedica-
tion. He served with the Flying
Tigers in China before the war. He
was credited with 26 kills.
He was shot down over Rabail
and spent the remainder of the war
as a Jap prisoner. Without him and
millions of others who killed Japs
and Germans they would be speak-
ing German or Japanese.

WEATHER SUMMARY -...
Cooler temperatures during the week of October 9 through 15 caused
some evening temperatures to drop below normal in some major cities.
Temperatures in the major stations averaged from one to four degrees
below normal. Elsewhere, in other major stations, temperatures average
from around normal to three degrees above normal. Enjoyable daytime
temperatures were in the 80s and 90s. Evening temperatures were in the 40s
and 50s with some areas recording at least one low in the 60s. Many local-
ities across the State received no rainfall for the week. Over a half an inch
of-precipitation fell in Dover, Fort Lauderdale, Homestead and West Palm
Beach. FIELD CROPS
SAnother week of dry weather did not help with the harvesting of field
crops. Peanut fields continue to suffer in the Panhandle and northern
Peninsula areas. If growers do not receive beneficial rains soon, the late-
planted peanut crop will not mature. The hardened soils have made it too
difficult for growers to dig in fields with some peanuts losing pods in some
Panhandle areas. Peanut digging was 42 percent dohe by October 15 versus
65 percent completed by this date last year and the five-year average of 76
percent. Peanut condition was rated 36 percent poor, 35 percent fair, 28 per-
cent good, and 1 percent excellent. In Jefferson County, the pecan crop is
light due to drought. Hay cutting has been very short this year in Madison
County due to drought. Topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies in the
Panhandle were rated mostly very short to short. Across the Peninsula, soil
moisture supplies were mostly short to adequate with a few pockets of very
short supplies.

VEGETABLES
Dry weather allowed harvesting to progress on schedule in most areas.
Growers around Hillsborough County have started planting strawberries
with growers planning to begin picking vegetables around the end of the
month or early November. Tomato picking continued in the Quincy area
-and has started in some southern Peninsula areas. Growers expect to begin
harvesting eggplant by the end of this week. Vegetable growers laid plastic
in Hardee County. Okra harvesting continued in Dade County. Producers
marketed light amounts of sweet corn, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes.

LIVESTOCK AND PASTURES
In the Panhandle and northern areas, pasture condition is mostly very
poor to poor due to drought and nighttime temperatures in the 40s. Some
farmers have sold off big percentages of their cattle herds due to lack of
feed. However, grass is greening up in some locations that received show-
ers--Most cattle-are-ir-fair-condition. Cattlemen are feeding supplemental
hay. In the central areas, pasture.condition is poor to excellent with most in
fair condition-Most of the cattle are in good condition. In the southwest,
pasture is in very poor to good condition with most in fair condition.
Statewide, cattle condition ranges from poor to good with most in good
condition.

CITRUS
On average, temperatures were slightly cooler than normal in citrus
lain producing counties. Highs were in the mid to upper 80s. Nighttime lows
were in the 60s most nights, with a low in the extreme northern citrus area
)pet at 52 degrees. Rainfall was nominal in all areas. Growers are irrigating reg-
day ularly due to lack of rainfall. The new crop fruit set is variable, with much
Get lower than average fruit per tree on all orange varieties and average fruit per
sing tree-on grapefruit. Maturity levels on all orange varieties are running slight-
; to ly above normal while ratios are running just a little behind normal due to
elor higher acid levels. Sizes are normal on all early and midseason oranges and
slightly below on Valencia. Early oranges are showing slight color break in
the southern region. Grapefruit are showing good color break, especially on
)un- inside fruit. Grove maintenance includes pre-harvest mowing, herbiciding,
aid, and late supplemental sulfur spraying. Scouting for canker and greening by
ting growers and caretakers continues. A dozen packing houses and three pro-
for cessing plants are open. Varieties being packed include Fallglo tangerines,
Prue Ambersweet and Navel oranges and grapefruit.

, The Hardee Wildcats had an
almost perfect game for Senior
Pight last Friday.
S In its first game without
rnovers, and only one penalty
intil the final moments when
deserves hit the field, Hardee
bouncedd visiting Avon Park in a
;A-District 12 clash at Wildcat
stadiumm .
The 'Cats may need a repeat of
:hat this week 'as they travel to
amaines City to take on the 3A-10
.Paines City Hornets, whose 2-5
overall and 1-2 district record is
deceiving. Losing to district cham-
pion Kathleen last week 41-24, the
Hornets still gathered 290 yards of
offense, 265 coming through the

and Deonte Fielder to make strides
on the ground while receivers
Derrell Simon, Norman Pitts and
Mike Sullivan go long for passes.
Kicker David Espinosa completes
the package.
Hardee can accomplish much
with its own specialists as it did on
Friday night, when running backs
Jayquan Gandy and Jimmy Cimeus
and quarterback Weston Palmer
each gobbled up yardage for a pair
of touchdowns apiece. Jordan
Grimsley ran 53 yards for another
tally. The Wildcats finished with
411 yards on the ground, not count-
ing Terry Redden's 76 yard puntre-
turn for a touchdown. Receivers
Jermaine King, Lisnell Youyoute

ground in the triple-optibn offense

Game Onel Virgile for offensive
blocking which allowed his team-
mates to run wild.
Defensively, Grimsley and
Daniel "D.J." Robinson shared
player of the week honors.
Grimsley had three tackles, but
added an interception and pass
breakup. Robinson also had three
tackles, but "got to his slants and
kept up good pressure on the Red
Devil quarterback."
Special teams saw another two-

some gain honors. Senior kicker.
Pablo Anselmo was seven-of-seven
on his PAT kicks and boomed four
kickoff touchbacks to prevent an'
Avon Park runback. Junior Terry
Redden had three other punt returns
for 86 yards to go with the 76-yard
punt return for a touchdown.
Avon Park won the coin toss and
deferred to the second half, giving
Hardee first crack at the ball.
Redden and Herman Patterson
were deep for the kickoff. It went to
Patterson, who toted it 23 yards to
get Hardee started on its 45.
Gandy picked up six yards. With
a Red Devil penalty on his next
carry, Gandy put Hardee on the Red
Devil 19. Cimeus cut through the
line and scampered for a 19-yard
TD. A bad snap led holder/reserve
quarterback Will Krause to scram-
ble and attempt a pass which went
awry. In less than half a minute,
Hardee led 6-0.
In its first series, Avon Park quar-
terback T.K. Hill through to his
favorite target sophomore Corey
Topa for a first down, but shortly
the Red Devils had to punt. In turn,
Hardee punted the ball back.
Tackles by Joseph Barton and a pair
of incomplete passes caused anoth-
er Avon Park punt, with Redden's
15-yard runback putting Hardee at
midfield.
Alternating runs and passes,
Palmer directed a five-play touch-
down drive, with Cimeus going off
left tackle for a 47-yard gain and
Gandy going the final four yards to
paydirt. Anselmo's kick split the
uprights to make it 13-0 with three
minutes still left in the first period.

ond quarter, Redden took a punt on

"They made a good goal-line
stand in the second quarter. They
got to the 1-yard line, but a holding
penalty stalled them out and held
them to a field goal try which did-
n't make it .
"We got the ball in the third quar-
ter and marched down to score to
make it 18-0. It was probably the
best total game of the year. It was a
great job for the kids and the coach-
es," said Smith, giving credit as
-usual to his assistants, Barry White,
Todd Bolin, Dan Duke and James
Carpenter.
"We're 6-1 now with four
straight shutouts and hope for
another one to end the season,"con-
cluded Smith.
The junior 'Cats finish up the
season tonight (Thursday) at home
against Sebring, a game originally
set for Oct. 26 and moved up when
it was realized that both teams had
an OPEN date.
Kelsheem White led the Wildcats
to victory last week, scoring three
times as part of his 15 carries for a
game-high 158 yards. Antjuan
Jones, Marvin Cook, Linior St.
Louis, Tony Martinez, Michael
McTaw and quarterback Ezayi
Youyoute each shared in carrying
the pigskin. Together, they totaled
292 yards on the ground. Youyoute
was 3-of-6 for 38 yards.
The St. Petersburg Catholic
junior Barons were held to just 107
yards offense, 22 carries for a net
88 yards and 4-of-ll for 19 yards
and one interception. They had
only five first downs, compared to
13 for Hardee.
St. Petersburg had first posses-
sion but made only one first down
before turning the ball over on
downs.
SYouyoute and company took
eight'plays, inclTding a fake punt
for the first score of the evening, a
9-yard run by White. A bad snap
and pass attempt was incomplete.

Hardee led 6-0 late in the first'peri-
od.
The Barons had a 30-yard run-
back to start its next series and
worked their way downfield, with
Keelyan Bryant doing tie bulk of
the work on consecutive carries. As
they got to the Wildcat 5, a penalty
moved them back to the 16, where
back-to-back passes were incom-
plete. A 33-year field goal attempt
was just wide.
Hardee started at its 20-yard line
and took eight plays to go 80 yards.
White scored from the 2-yard line.
The conversion kick was blocked.
It wasl2-0.
After several plays and trading
punts, time ran out in the first half.
Hardee recovered the second-
half kickoff at the Wildcat 30.
White picked up a pair of first
downs and three plays later went
over left guard for an 11-yard tally.
Jesus Aguirre's kick was good and
it was a 19-0 game.
A Nick Battles sack stopped the
next Baron play. Hardee took over
on the punt. Youyoute passed to
Martinez for a 6-yard gain. White
and Jones carried the ball.Then,
White took a screen pass from
Youyoute for a 20-yard TD. The
conversion snap was bad. Hardee
had upped its lead to 25-0.

A Nolan Neuhauser interception
stopped St. Pete Catholic on its
next drive and put Hardee in excel-
lent position on the Baron 15-yard
line. Youyoute kept the ball and
scampered up the middle to the end
zone. Aguirre's kick was good. It
was 32-0.
That was the final score as the
teams traded possessions for the
final 19 seconds of the third period
and the fourth quarter without scor-
ing. Hardeereserves took the field
for most of that time. Martinez
moved to quarterback and used St.
Louis and McTaw for good gains
but ran out of time before scoring
again.

A Daily Thought
THURSDAY
Heavens and earth, be happy.
Mountains, shout with joy,
because the Lord comforts His
people and will have pity on
those who suffer Then you
will know I am the Lord. Anyone
who trusts in Me willnot be dis-
appointed.
Isaiah 49:13,23b (NCV)
FRIDAY
Godly sorrow brings repentance
that leaves to salvation and
leaves no regret.
II Corinthians 7:10 (NIV)
SATURDAY
Blessed is the nation whose
God is the Lord. The Lord gazes
down upon mankind from
Heaven where He lives. He has
made their hearts and closely
watches everything they do.
Psalm 33:12-15 (TLB)

SUNDAY
I could see no Temple in the city
(Heaven), for the Lord, the
Almighty God, and the Lamb are
themselves its Temple. The city
has no need for the light of sun
or moon, for the splendor of
God fills it with light, and its radi-
ance is the lamb... But nothing
unclean, no one who deals in
filthiness and lies, shall ever at
any time enter it only those
whose names are written in the
Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 21.22,23,27 (PME)

MONDAY .. ....
Don't pretend you don't see (
poor person). Don't keep a tight
grip on your purse. No. Look at
him, open your 'purse, lend
whatever and as much as he
needs.
Deuteronomy 15:7-8 (ME)

TUESDAY
Do not store up for yourselves
treasure on earth, where it
grows rusty and moth-eaten,
and thieves break in to steal it.
Store up treasures in Heaven,
where there is no moth and no
rust to spoil it, no thieves to
break in and steal. For where
your treasure is, 'there will be
your heart also.
Matthew 6:20-21 (NEB)
WEDNESDAY
Give freely and spontaneously.
Don't have a stingy heart. The
way you handle matters like this
triggers God, your God's bless-
ing in everything you do, all your
work and ventures.

Applicant: The applicant for this project is Hardee Power Partners, A Subsidiary of Invenergy, LLC.
The applicant's Responsible Official is Mr. Alex C. George, V.P., One South Wacker Drive, Site 2020,
Chicago, Illinois 60606.. .
Facility Location: The Hardee Power Partners operate the existing Hardee Power Station, which is
located at 6695 County Road 663, Fort Green Springs, Hardee County.
Project: The applicant requested a revision to change various permit conditions, that are contained in
Air Operation Permit No. 0490015-005-AV, to match the updated requirements of 40 CFR 60,Subpart
GG, which was revised on July 8, 2004. Such changes are primarily related to fuel monitoring and
additional emissions monitoring options. This permitting action will also be used to.replace Appendix
TV-4, Title V Conditions (version dated 02/12/02) with Appendix TV-6, Title V Conditions (version
dated 6/23/06), as well as other minor administrative corrections as described below. It was determined
that a concurrent Air Construction permit revision was not required because the changes contained in this
revision do not alter the requirements contained in the construction permits to comply with the. applicable
portions of 40 CFR 60, Subpart GG. The only referenced attachments that.are being issued with this
revision are Appendix GG Standards of Performance for Stationary Gas Turbines and Appendix TV-6,
Title V Conditions (version dated 6/23/06), which is replacing the existing Apendix TV-4..The other
referenced attachments are unchanged by this permitting action and will remain as issued with the Title
V Air Operation Permit Renewal (permit no. 0490015-005-AV) that was effective on January 1, 2005;
Permitting Authority: Applications for air operation permits are subject to review in accordaice with
the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapters 62-4, 62-210, 62-213 and 62-214 of
the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed project is not exempt from air permitting
requirements and an air permit is required to approve the requested changes. .The Department of
Environmental Protection's Bureau of Air Regulation is the Permitting Authority responsible for making
a permit determination for this project. The Permitting Authority's physical address is: 111 S. Magnolia

DRAFT/PROPOSED-Permit unless a timely petition.for an administrative-hearing is filed under Sections
120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or unless public comment received in accordance with this notice results in a
different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.
Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the
DRAFT/PROPOSED Permit for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this Public
Notice. Written comments must be post-marked and all facsimile comments-must be received by the
close of business (5:00 pm), on or before the end of this 30-day period, by the Permitting Authority at the
above address. As part of his or her comments, any person may also request that the Permitting
Authority hold a public meeting on this permitting action. If the Permitting Authority deterines'tere is
sufficientinterest for a public meeting, it will publish notice of the time, date, anid location in the Floridi
Administrative Weekly (hitp/fauw dos stute.fl.usi) and in a newspaper of general circulation in the area
affected by the permitting action. Fo6 'additio6j informationio, contact the permitting Authority at the.

Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel of the Department of Environmental Protection at 3900

persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S; must be filed within
fourteen (14) days of publication of this Public Notice or receipt of a written- notice; whichever occurs
first.- Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice
of agency action may file a petition within fourteen (14) days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the
date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated
above, at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate tine period
shall constitute a waiver of that person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under
Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene,in this proceeding and participate as a p rty to if.' Any
subsequent intervention will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing ofa notion it
compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. '
A petition that disputes the material facts on which .the Permitting Authority's action is based must
contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency's
file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address and telephone number ofdthe petitioner;
the name address and telephone number of the petitioner's. representative, if any, which shall be the
address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the
petitioner's substantial rights will be affected by the agency'determination; (c) A statement of how and
when the petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed action; (d). A statement of all
disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of
the ultimate facts. alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or
modification of the agency's proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the
petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency's proposed action; and, (g) A statement
of the relief sought by the' petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take
with respect to the agency's proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts, upon
which the Permitting Authority's action is based shall state that no such facts are, in dispute and
otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a
petition means that the Permitting Authority's final action may be different from the position taken by it
in this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by
any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become
a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
Mediation: Mediation is not available for this proceeding.
DRAFT/PROPOSED Permit Processing: EPA has agreed to treat the DRAFT Title V Permit as a
PROPOSED Title V Permit and to perform its 45-day review provided by the law and regulations
concurrently with the public comment period. Although EPA's 45-day review period will be performed
concurrently with the public comment period, the deadline for submitting a citizen petition to object to
the EPA Administrator will be determined as if EPA's 45-day review period is performed after the public
comment period has ended. The FINAL Title V Air Operation Permit will be issued after the conclusion
of the 45-day EPA review period so long as no adverse comments are received that results in a different
decision or significant change of terms or conditions.
The status regarding EPA's 45-day review of this project and the deadline for submitting a citizen
petition can be found at the following website address: .

HJHS Softball Win Wild Pair

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Junior High Lady
Wildcat softball team handily
wrapped up both games last week.
Each of the games ended in three
innings on the 10-run mercy rule.
On Monday, Hardee went to Avon
Park and won 21-3. On Thursday,
at home, it was a 17-2 victory of
Lake Placid.
This week, Hardee finishes its
Heartland series with a final game
at home on Monday against rival
DeSoto and a visit today (Thurs-
day) to Hill-Gustat to close out the
season.

In last Monday's game, Amber
Hines took the mound and had a
good outing against Avon Park. On
Thursday, Amanda McNabb was
the pitcher and did well.
The batting star in both games
was catcher Elvira Servin. On
Monday, she went three for four
with a triple and pair of singles. On
Thursday, it was almost hitting for
the cycle, prevented only by a first-
inning walk. In the marathon sec-
ond inning, she hit both a home run
and a triple. In the third inning, she
smacked a double and came around
to score on overthrows. "She is
awesome with the bat," commented

head coach Shari Knight.
At Avon Park, Hardee sent 19
batters to the plate in the first
inning, bringing 14 of them around
to cross home plate. Hines singled,
Servin tripled and Kate Krause and
Courtney Chason each singled.
Samantha Selph was hit by a pitch
and Taylor Bolin and Sabrina
Hernandez each drew a walk.
After an out, McNabb was hit by
a pitch, and Hines and Servin each
singled. There were a pair of walks,
then Selph and Bolin hit back-to-

back singles. A walk, hit batsman,
strikeout and fielder's choice ended
the top of the first.
Avon Park plated a pair of runs in
the home half of the first inning on
walks and hit batters, spaced
around outs.
Hardee went back to work in the
top of the second. A dozen batters
came up before the final out. A
Chason double and singles by
Bolin, Hernandez, McNabb, Servin
and Krause highlighted the efforts,
which included walks and hit bat-
ters. With eight more scores, it was
a 21-2 game.
Avon Park managed one tally in

the home half of the second.
Hardee reserves went down in
order in the top of the third and
Avon Park left two on base when-'
the final out ended the third inning
and allowed the 10-run rule to go
into effect.
It was similar at home on
Thursday when Lake Placid visited
the Recreational Complex field. A
double-play stopped the junior
Lady Dragons in inning one.
Hardee got a trio of tallies. With
one away, a series of walks and
overthrows plated three batters
before strikeouts ended the inning.
In the top of the second, Lake
Placid left a pair on base. Hardee

sent 16 batters to the plate and
brought 11 of them home. Servin's
home and triple, a Bolin double,
and singles by' Emma Marshall,
Courtney Parks, Krause, Chason
and Cassidy Knight kept all the
runners moving along.
Lake Placid got its only runs in
the top of the third. In the home
half of the inning, Hardee finished
with a flourish with another three
runs. Starratt started it with a single
and Marshall followed suit. After
two outs, Hines and Servin both
doubled, scoring on overthrows
and steals, making the final score
17-2.

Elvira gryin aoeadlyit.fo the cycle with a, homer and-triple in
the second inning and a double in the third, which became a
score on overthrows. She missed the cycle with a walk in the
first iriming.

SEEDS
FROM
THE i
SOWER

SMichael A. Guido "
Mlterr. Georgia

Almost everyone has a nick-
name.
Back home a fellow was
nicknamed Drip-you couldn't turn
him off. Another, Banana-he was
always getting skinned. A girl was
called Echo-she always had the
last word.
Lincoln was honorable. They
called him Honest Abe. Thomas
Jackson was brave. They nick-
named him Stonewall Jackson.
There was a man in Bible times
called Joseph. He had a smile for
every joy, a tear for every sorrow,
a gift for those in need, and he
was a help in trouble. The
apostles nicknamed him
Barnabas-one who encourages.
What's your nickname?

Satellite dishes blossom as one drives around
highways and hillsides. In these times of advanced
technology, we view the entire world via invisible waves
bouncing through the skies from "state-of-the-art"
transmitters into our living rooms. Otherwise, we
would feel isolated, our communication with the globe
hazy at best
Communication with God is similar, yet much
simpler. Just extend your arms heavenward and send
Him the supplications of your soul. Moreover, join with
others each week at your chosen house of worship. In
Exodus 22:27, God promises... "And if he cries to me, I
will hear, for I am compassionate." Worship this week.
Communing with God is "state-of-the-heart".

iGolf Teams Finish Up

By JOAN SEAMAN
f The Herald-Advocate
i Senior Justin Painter had an out-
4ide chance.
I: The Wildcat senior ended up in a
four-way playoff to decide the final
Class 1A-District 6 spot but came
up just short. He notched a pair of
birdies in rounding the Bradenton
course in 80 strokes.
Hardee was the top public school
in the final standings for the district

title or one of the top three which
advanced to regional competition
along with the top three individuals
not on a winning team.
Bradenton Prep Academy won
the district title with a low score of
301, with 71, 75, 77 and 78.
Interestingly, Rocky Khara, former
Sebring phenom, scored the 75 for
Bradenton Prep. In second place
was Sarasota Out-Of-Door Acad-
emy with a team total of 319 and

low man of 69. St. Stephen's, all of
Bradenton, came in third at 320
with a low individual of 79.
In fourth place was Sarasota
Cardinal Mooney with 322,
including two individuals advanc-
ing to state, Kevin Curtin at 78 and
James Bradley, with whom Painter
tied at 80 and lost to in a playoff.
The other individual to advance
was from ninth-place Sarasota
Christian. Craig Steverson shot a

-73.
Hardee led the public school
division with a fifth-place finish
and ending team score of 345.
Behind Painter's 80, were Kaleb
Saunders at 81, Brek McClenithan
at 85, Jake Crews at 88 and Ben
Krause with 90.
Behind Hardee, teams were
Bradenton Christian, one stroke
back, then Braden River, Avon
Park, Sarasota Christian, Lake
Placid and Clearwater Central.
"I'd still call it a successful sea-
son. We finished 13-3, with a pair
of losses to Lakeland and one to
Lake Gibson, all of which were
good experience for us," said
Hardee coach George Heine.
"I expect that we will be good
next year, with six lettermen return-

ing. Only Justin is a senior. Kyle
Cobb and James Olliff return along
with Kaleb, Jake, Brek and Ben,"
said Heine.
Hardee girls had to face probable
state champion Bradenton Prep
among its opposition at the El
Conquistador County Club in
Bradenton for its district champi-
onships. Bradenton Prep won with
a low score of 296, a pair of 73s
and pair of 75s making it "the low-
est girls' score I've ever seen," said
Hardee girls coach Byron Jarnagin.
Behind Prep were St. Stephen's
with a team total of 355 and low
individual or 77. Cardinal Mooney
was next at 424, Braden River at
502 and Avon Park at 507. Hardee
had no team score as only three
girls attended.

Notable was the top three indi-
viduals not on a winning team.
Eggi Higmet of Braden River
came in at 107, Shelby Dressel of
Avon Park at 110 and Aleena
Muzaffer of Lake Placid at 114.
Hardee senior Ciara Lambert had
her teams's low score of 120, tied
with Avon Park's Courtney Robin-
son.
For Hardee, Lindsey Moye card-
ed 131 and Kristen Cumbee came
in at 133.
Start living now. Stop saving
the good china for that special
occasion. Stop withholding your
love until that special person
materializes. Every day you are
alive is a special occasion.

Rise & Shine

YOUR PRAYER LIFE
Do you have trouble with wandering thoughts when you pray? You are
not the only one.
Most of us let our minds wander freely through the hours of the day
when we are not concentrating on work. Then, when it comes time for
prayer, our minds just do not want to cooperate. Something like spoiled
children.
Here's something you can do about it. Sit quietly. Turn off the radio or
TV. Meditate on a Scripture verse. Almost any will do, but here are some
suggestions: Hebrews 10:36; John 14:1; Luke 18:17.
Don't "study" the verse. Just enjoy it. Let it sink in. and whenever your
mind wanders, bring it back gently to your chosen verse.
When you have a little success at this over,:say, 15 minutes, thank the
Lord and do it again tomorrow. Like most things, it will get easier with prac-
tice. Don't be afraid to ask God for help. He wants to communicate with us
far more than we desire it.
"The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought" (Romans 8:26).
The goal is to worship. If you are a Christian, Jesus Christ has taken up
residence in your spirit (Luke 17:21). But you certainly don't want to drag
your mind into His presence kicking and screaming. So there is a need to
teach it some manners first. Practice being quiet.
One final thing: Don't wait for the perfect time. The perfect time is
always now! ..

The Hardee Wildcats continue to
dominate area cross country runs.
Most recently, the 'Cats con-
quered the 3.1 mile Highlands

of Avon Park, Clewiston and Lake
Placid.
Nine Hardee boys and girls also
returned to Highlands Hammock
on Saturday to participate in the
fundraiser run which raised over
$1,800 for Ranger Joe Jenkins who
is battling Lou Gehrig's disease.
The Hardee senior/junior brother

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo

Well Football Fans, it is mid-October. The leaves are close to peak
color. The Swami was in West Virginia this past weekend. It was a glorious
fall foliage picture. Crisp and windy but sunny and beautiful as football sea-
son was meant to be. College football is peaking too. Several teams are
looking toward the National Championship Game. Some are now looking
at a one-loss scenario also. It is a long time until January in Arizona and
anything can happen. The Florida Gators have put themselves in a hole
after losing to Auburn. An unbeaten Florida team would have been a no-
brainer to play for the National Championship. A spot in the SEC Title
game is in reach. A game between Florida and Arkansas is very intriguing
as it is shaping up in the SEC. Of course, a rematch with Auburn is not a
bad thing either.
Miami has suspended eight players for their role in the classless alter-
cation against FIU. A quick read of internet message boards around the
ACC shows the old guard schools are fed up with the new additions. The
negative publicity Virginia Tech and Miami have brought upon the once-
respected conference have the ACC folks dismayed. Bottom line is you got
what you asked for. It is not like the reputations of those programs were a
national secret was it?
Pardon the Big East fans for enjoying the demise of the ACC. The Big
East has surpassed the ACC after the initial blow of losing three teams to
the ACC. The conference is now rated just below the SEC, Big 10 and PAC-
10 overall. Big East teams have defeated teams from every major college
conference this year also while enjoying two teams in the Top 10 along with
Rutgers in the Top 25.
The Bowl games are always on the minds of fans. There are still a lot
of games to be played but if they lose out the rest of the way, look for the
Toilet Bowl in Flushing, Ohio to match Temple against Marshall to deter-
mine the worst team in college football. There are a few others still in con-
tention though.
Congrats are due the Vanderbilt Commodores. A win over Georgia on
the road is a milestone for that program.
Indiana caught some national attention by upsetting Iowa too. How
about those USF Bulls! A road win over North Carolina helps position the
Bulls for another bowl bid.This week's game looms as a huge one for
bowl hopes too.

Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare:
1. West Virginia at Connecticut Mountaineers rushing attack is too
overwhelming for the Huskies. Slaton and White have a repeat of the
Syracuse game. West Virginia 44 UConn 17.
2. Boston College at FSU A loss to BC would seriously damage the
program at FSU. Noles get it done at home. They still could be 9-2 when
they face the Gators. FSU 31 BC 17.
3. Marshall at UAB Blazers should have no problem against the
Blundering Herd. UAB 33 Marshall 13.
4. Rutgers at Pitt One of the best games all day! No, I am not kid-
ding. Pitt looked very good behind Tyler Palko last week. Rutgers has been
playing well all season as its unbeaten record shows. Pitt 38 Rutgers 34
5. Miami at Duke Maybe the Lacrosse team at Duke will fill in for
the football team? Together they could really draw national attention.
Miami 45 Duke 0.
6. South Carolina at Vanderbilt Spurrier will have the Gamecocks
ready but I am going with my heart and pulling for Vandy to do it two
weeks in a row! Vanderbilt 24 South Carolina 23.
7. Louisville at Syracuse Cardinals will get back on track with an
easy win. Both Louisville and West Virginia will have two weeks to prepare
for each other. Louisville 48 Syracuse 20.
8. Mississippi State at Georgia Dawgs will get the best of these
"other dawgs." Georgia 38 Miss. State 10.
9. Alabama at Tennessee Tide will not roll in Knoxville. Tennessee
33 Alabama 16.
10. Tulane at Auburn Auburn gets an easy win after the Florida
struggle. Auburn 37 Tulane 13.
11. Mississippi at Arkansas Whooooooooooo Pig. Gotta like this
Arky team. Arkansas 41 Ole Miss 21.
12. Cincinnati at USF Bulls will have their hands.,full ,wthJ.the

BE ALL YOU CAN BE .. .JOIN 4-H!
National 4-H Week was Oct. 1-7. More than 240,000 4-H participants
in Florida shared their accomplishments within their communities during
this week. Counties all across the state observed the week with proclama-
tions, community service activities and events.
4-H is one of the largest youth development programs in America,
involving more than seven million young people ages 5 to 19, and 538,000
youth and adult volunteers. This is their week to celebrate their program
and thank those who support them.
4-H is Florida's only youth development program directly connected to
the technological advances and latest research of the University of Florida.
4-H members learn leadership, citizenship and life skills through hands-on
projects in science, engineering and technology, healthy living, or citizen-
ship. Topics areas varied as rocketry, nutrition and healthy living, public
speaking, butterfly analysis, photography, and community service.
Using a "learn by doing" model, youth are encouraged to experiment,
be innovative and think independently to get them the most from their
experience.
In addition, 4-H helps a community's young people reach their full
potential. Recent studies show youth who participate in 4-H do better in
school, are more motivated to help others, feel safe to try new things,
achieve a sense of self-esteem, and develop lasting friendships.
Here in Hardee County we have 297 youth enrolled in 13 active clubs
and special interest programs.
Since last year, Hardee County's 4-H program grew from eight to 13
active clubs and grew from 235 to 297 youth participants, representing a 21
percent increase in enrollment. There are over 50 volunteers presently
working with members on their individual projects. We are always looking
Sfor more members and more volunteers. The program year runs from Sept.
1 to Aug. 31 each year, with the clubs meeting once a month throughout the
year.
For information about joining a 4-H Club or to learn more about some
of the programs that 4-H has to offer, call the Hardee County Extension
Office at 773-2164 or stop by our office on Altman Road in the Agri-Civic
Center complex.
Many people in our county are strong supporters of the 4-H program,
and to them we are thankful for their support and encouragement through
the years. To learn more about the 4-H program, please call our office and
find out how you can become part of this dynamic youth development orga-
nization!

Do you ever feel like you are talking to a wall when you try to share
with your kids the wisdom and knowledge you have gained about the
importance of setting goals and making the right choices?
Often I hear adults complain that young people today don't listen any-
more. I do believe that this condition has been around for generations. I am
sure my own parents felt that way about my brothers and myself.
After working with young people for over 20 years I have found that
they listen to us more often than we realize. Author Robert Fulghum once
said, "Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are
always watching you."
Here is the third essay written by one of our local junior high students
about being drug-free. I hope these essays help the adult community iee
that our children are listening to us as well as watching us.

I Plan To Be Drug-Free
By Mayna Nolasco-Cruz
I, Mayha Nolasco-Cruz, plan to be drug-free because it is really impor-
tant for my career and my future.
First of all, what would I do to prevent from getting addicted to drigs
would be to focus on one of my dreams. That dream is to become a lawyer
and help all the people including the immigrants with their problems which
will become my problems. For instance, being a lawyer would keep tne
from getting addicted to drugs because I would be concentrating on all the
cases that I would have. Those people and their cases would depend on ny
career and my career would depend on my future. My future would depend
on me and I would depend on Being Drug-Free. So, I remark to you to take
these things in consideration.
The next thing, I would do from getting addicted to drugs would be to
think of all those things that drugs make you become when you get addict-
ed to it. First thing, I think drugs would destroy or damage your brain.
They would make you look old even if you're not. They also would make
your teeth rotten and make them fall out. One more thing is that by con-
suming drugs you get crazy, you don't think the way you're supposed to
think at your age. Drugs would decrease the abilities for you to see welL
Finally, an example of damage done by drugs goes beyond the person
using. A pregnant lady that is taking drugs at any stage would definitely get
the reaction of what drugs can do. The infant that's inside her stomach will
have 80 percent chance of being deformed. Just because its mother didn't
care or didn't believe that her infant would come out deformed, Adding, to
this situation I would like to say to the pregnant ladies who are consuming
drugs to think what they are causing to the infant and themselves. Be syre
of what you're doing and what drugs do to you.
That is why I am focusing on my career to not get addictedto drugs,. I
think you should do the same thing to not get addicted to drugs. So, be drug-
free and find something else to do. Do what you are supposed to do to be
safe and healthy. I plan to focus on my career and to help many people at
need my help.

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The "Chamber of Commerce"
golf tournament drew 35 teams.
Held at The Bluffs Golf Course
near Gardner, the tournament was
chaired by Kenny Miller and more
than reached its goal of supporting
its membership and promoting the
county.
"The tournament is measured not
in dollars and cents but in the 'spir-
it of community' it reaches," said
Janet Hendry, Chamber executive
director, who attributed the success
to the many Chamber, corporate
and hole sponsors who contributed
to it.
First Flight winners were Bob
Claman, Mike Claman, Richard
Torres and Mike Thomas. In sec-
ond place were Bobby Krause, Ben
Krause, Justin Painter and Jordan
Code. Third place went to Bobby

Safe Keeping
By Rich Shepard
Emergency Management Director

WELCOME TO FALL,
NOW LET'S GO.TO THE BEACH!
Welcome, gentle readers, to the shortest and most underappreciated
season in Florida: fall.
With the passing of the autumnal equinox on Sept. 23, we have offi-
cially entered that time of year when visions of turning off your AC dance
in your head and maybe (just maybe, mind you) digging out your winter
wardrobe. If your house is anything like mine, that won't take long. I think
my "winter wardrobe" consists of two sweaters and a jacket.
Most Floridians I know, present company included, consider this "our
time of year." The annual migration of Snowbirds hasn't started yet and the
hordes of tourists have left the beaches and theme parks. OK, so we don't
have leaves changing frdtn green to gold, but we do get our state back. In
my mind, it's a good trade.
On a much more serious note, this month's submission is focused on
the recent E. Coli outbreaks from contaminated spinach. We'll examine the
facts behind food-related outbreaks and discuss some things you can do to
prevent the potential spread of diseases to food.

Was It Something I Ate?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, many people don't con-
sider food safety until a food-related illness affects them or their family.
While the United States has one of the safest food supplies in the world,
many Americans are affected by food-borne illnesses every day. Here are
some facts from the CDC regarding food-borne illnesses:
76 Million The number of people annually who get sick from a
food-borne illness.
300,000 The number of people hospitalized annually from a'
food-borne illness.
5,000 The number of deaths annually from a food-borne illness.
1-4 Age in years of the population with the greatest number of
food-borne infections.

Food Safety And You
So what, you may ask, is being done to monitor and improve the over-
all safety of America's food supply? The CDC has a number of programs
in place to monitor and regulate food safety and security practices from the
farm to the store to your table. Some of those programs include:
CalciNet: An'electronic surveillance system designed to track the

A: An outbreak of food-borne illness occurs, when a group of people
consume the same contaminated food and two or more.of them come down
with the same illness. It may be a group that ate a meal together somewhere,
or it may be a group of people who do not know each other at all, but who
all happened to buy and eat the same contaminated item from a grocery
store or restaurant. For an outbreak to occur, something must have hap-
pened to contaminate a batch of food that was eaten by a the group of peo-
ple. Often, a combination of events contributes to the outbreak. A contam-
inated food may be left out at room temperature for many hours, allowing
the bacteria to multiply to high numbers, and then be insufficiently cooked
to kill the bacteria.
Q: Why do public health officials investigate outbreaks?
A: A food-borne outbreak is an indication that something needs to be
improved in our food safety system. Public health scientists investigate out-
breaks to control them, and also to learn how similar outbreaks can be pre-
vented in the future. Just as when a fire breaks out in a large building or
when an airliner crashes, two activities are critical when an outbreak occurs.
First, emergency action is needed to keep the immediate danger from
spreading, and second, a detailed objective scientific investigation is need-
ed to learn what went wrong, so that future similar events can be prevented.
Much of what we know about food-borne disease and its prevention comes
from detailed investigation of outbreaks.
SQ: How are outbreaks of food-borne disease detected?
A: The initial clue that an outbreak is occurring can come in various
ways. It maybe when a person realizes that several other people who were
all together at an event have become ill, and that person calls the local health
department. It may be when a physician realizes she has seen more than the
usual number of patients with the saiie illness. It may be when a county
health department gets an unusually large number of reports of illness. The
hardest outbreaks to detect are those that are spread over a large geograph-
ic area, with only a few cases in each state. These outbreaks can be detect-
ed by combining surveillance reports at the regional or national level and
looking for increases in infections of a specific type.
Q: How does food become contaminated?
A: We live in a microbial world, and there are many opportunities for
food to become contaminated as it is produced and prepared. Many food-
borne microbes are present in healthy animals usually in their intestines
- raised for food. Meat and poultry carcasses can become contaminated
during slaughter by contact with small amounts of intestinal contents.
Similarly, fresh fruits and vegetables can be contaminated if they are
washed or irrigated with water that is contaminated with animal manure or
human sewage.

What Can I Do?
According to the CDC, there are some simple steps you can follow to
prevent food-borne illness from affecting you and your family:
The cooking process kills most bacteria, so be sure to cook meatJ
until the internal temperature is at least 160 degrees and cook eggs until the
yolk is firm.
Avoid cross-contamination by washing utensils, cutting boards and
hands.
Refrigerate any foods that are not going to be consumed within four
hours.
Wash all fresh fruits and vegetables; remove outermost layer of let-
tuce and cabbage before preparing.
Remove yourself as a potential source of contamination by frequent-
ly washing your hands, especially when preparing food.
You can lea.nmore about food safety, reported disease outbreaks, and
recalled food items by visiting the Centers for Disease Control's Web site at:
http://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/ or www.foodsafety.gov.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Check any food items in your family disaster kit for expiration dates
and discard them if the date has passed. Remember, managing your emer-
gencies begins with you.

UNDERSTANDING MUTUAL FUNDS
Hailed as an efficient way for individual investors to access the stock
market, mutual funds have become increasingly popular. Since 1969, assets
in mutual funds have grown from $48 billion to nearly $8.6 trillion. In just
the last 10 years, mutual fund-assets have nearly tripled. And today, nearly
half of all U.S. households own mutual frinds,-compared with fewer than six
percent in 1980.
So, what is a mutual fund? At its most basic level, a mutual fund is 4
portfolio of securities owned by a collection of shareholders. While mutual
funds have many different investment strategies, they primarily come in
three basic types:
Equity funds invest primarily in stocks; fixed-income funds invest in
government or corporate securities offering fixed rates of return; and bal-
anced funds invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities.:,
There are now around 8,300 U.S.-based mutual funds. With all the
choices available to U.S. investors, it's important f6r individuals to know,
about this popular investment vehicle.
Diversification You don't have to know much about investing to
know it's not wise to put all your eggs in the same basket. A mutual fund:
may hold securities from dozens or even hundreds of issues a level of
diversification that few investors can achieve on their own. Through diver-
sification, shareholders can potentially reduce the risks associated with any:
single security. Diversification helps spread risk throughout your portfolio,
so investments that do poorly may be balanced by others that do better.
Professional Management Few people have the time and expertise:
necessary to select and manage a stock or bond portfolio. When you invest
in mutual funds, you gain a team of professional money managers, includ-;
ing analysts and traders who strive to help the portfolio meet its objectives.
Lower Cost Just as buying in bulk is cheaper than buying an indi-:
vidual product, securities are generally less expensive to buy or sell when
traded in large blocks rather than single transactions. The buying power of:
a mutual fund generally reduces transaction fees for its shareholders, who,
benefit by splitting the commissions generally associated with diversifica-;
tion, liquidity and portfolio flexibility.
Convenience You can buy mutual funds directly from a fund comrn-
pany or through brokers, banks, financial planners or insurance agents. Fundc
shares come in different share classes with different prices and features
designed to accommodate the various lengths of time investors intend to
hold the shares. Fund shares can often be traded by mail, telephone or the
Internet, and many fund companies offer extensive recordkeeping services
to help you track your transactions and the performance of the fund. It's also;
easy to move money back and forth between your fund account and your
bank account for other uses.
Liquidity While mutual funds are not as liquid as a stock exchange-
traded fund, which trade like individual securities, prices for mutual funds
are priced daily.
No Guarantees When stocks make up a good share of the fund's:
assets, the fund's value will be influenced by the fluctuating value of each
stock in the portfolio. Investors need to understand the risks associated with'

Mom Gets 5 New Kids!

Quintuplets Born On Local Farm

By C.J. MOUSER
For The Herald-Advocate
Gene and Judy Davis purchased two
miniature goats for their 14-acre farm in
Wauchula in 2003, specifically for the enjoy-
ment of their grandchildren.
Over the past few years they have seen
their little collection of goats multiply, with
sometimes as many as four kids being born
to one nanny. But until last month, they
never dreamed that one of the little does
would give birth to five healthy kids at once.
"We had one that had four, but only two
of them survived," said Gene Davis. "I knew
Baby was giving birth and I checked on her
before going out to mow, and she had two.
The next time I checked, there were five!" he

exclaimed.
"I couldn't believe it," he continued.
"They (the kids) were bouncing around and
playing; just like they are now."
Clearly proud and protective of their
healthy little goat herd, the Davises supple-
ment the nutritional needs of the kids by bot-
tle feeding a formula called Sav-A-Kid, to
give the overworked nanny a break.
"They're just as healthy as they can be,"
Judy Davis noted, "but we like to help Baby
out, to make it a little easier on her."
The Davises aren't quite sure if they have
Nigerian Dwarfs or African Pygmies, which
are two distinctly different breeds that are
very similar in size and conformation.

Nigerian Dwarfs, originally bred as dairy
goats, provide a large quantity of milk for
their size, often as much as two quarts a day.
They have been known to have as many as
five live kids, but such an event is relatively
rare.
African Pygmies were bred as meat goats,
which gives them a little more bulk. They
have a smaller number of live births.
It is possible that the Davis family has a
combination of both in their herd, as some of
their goats exhibit traits from both breeds.
Either way, the grandchildren couldn't be
happier.
The little "farmers" tend to and play with

the bouncing new baby kids on Grandma
and Grandpa's farm. Katelynn Painter, 7,
summed up the attraction to these sweet-
natured animals perfectly as she hugged one
of the tiny goats.
"They're so cute!" she said with a broad
smile.
The tidy Davis farm is also home to a
horse, several ducks, a fish pond full of fish
... and one dog.
