Vote In General

Election

Tuesday

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee County voters will join
those statewide as they head to
their precincts on Tuesday to cast
ballots in the General Election.
SThe county's 12 polling places
will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
SThose who still want to take
advantage of the state's new Early
Voting program can do so now
through Saturday at the Elections
Office in Courthouse Annex II, at
the comer of U.S. 17 and Oak
Street in Wauchula. Supervisor of
Elections Jeff Ussery said his office
will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
for voters.
S So far, he said, 780 people have
taken advantage of the Early Voting

opportunity, far more than during
the Primary Election in September.
But Ussery remains reluctant to
predict turnout for Tuesday's big
balloting day.
"Early-voting turnout has been
much better than the primary's," he
noted, adding, "but I've heard from
so many on the street who have
been turned off by all the negativi-
ty on television. They are disgust-
ed. They say they are not so sure
they will come out to vote on
Tuesday. I'd hate to venture a guess
as to how many will."
Those who do will get to pick
among candidates for two local
races and a bounty of state and
national ones.
On the local level are the Hardee

County School Board race between
incumbent Joe Jones and chal-
lenger Paul Samuels and the newly
created judgeship in the 10th
Judicial Circuit, which serves
Hardee along with Highlands and
Polk, with candidates David
Carmichael and Ernest Jones.
Nationally, local voters can pick
their preference for U.S. Senate and
U.S. Congress.
Statewide, Hardee Countians can
voice their choice for governor,
attorney general, chief financial
officer and agriculture commis-
sioner.
Then, there are retention ques-
tions for three Supreme Court jus-
tices and 'five judges in the 2nd

2 Local Races On Ballot

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Two local races will be decided in the General,
Election on Tuesday.
Yes, two.
While most Hardee County voters are familiar
with the contest between incumbent Joe Jones and
challenger Paul Samuels for the District 1 seat on
the School Board, the judicial race tucked at the bot-
tom of the ballot remains a mystery to many.
It pits David Carmichael against Ernest Jones for
a newly created judgeship in the 10th Judicial
Circuit. That circuit serves Hardee. Highlands and
Polk counties.

But Hardee, as the smallest of the three counties,
has the fewest voters and teids to receive the least
attention from circuit-wide candidates.
Still, this judgeship is an important one.
It is circuit judges who decide divorce cases, cus-
tody battles, probate disbursements, car crash law-
suits, parental rights, how much time the thief who
broke into your home will get and what the teen
who vandalized a school will pay, among other
issues.
Circuit judges are re-assigned every six months,
and could be sent to serve on the bench in any of the
three counties. A Winter Haven circuit judge.

FIFTH CHAMPIONSHIP IN A ROW!

PHOTO BY RALPH HARRISON
Jubilant Wildcat players and coaches raise their hands high in the air to signify their fifth consecutive district championship. The district title came Friday night after a hard-fought come-from-behind
'win over the DeSoto Bulldogs. Hardee's 10-7 victory became its 53rd against DeSoto in what is known as the oldest high-school football rivalry in the state. Hardee now leads that rivalry 53 to 28,
with five ties, in the 86 games since the two teams began to battle in 1923. After their loss to Hardee on Friday, the Bulldogs went on to win the District 12 runner-up playoff on Monday night. District
champions Hardee (8-1) will now go on to host Tampa Jesuit in a regional quarter-final on Nov. 10, as Jesuit (5-4) beat Palmetto in the District 11 shootout on Monday.

The proposed park would be
south from the planned new Peace
River Electric Cooperative Inc.
corporate offices at the corner of
Metheny Road and North Florida
Avenue.
The packet from the Planning
and Zoning Department included
six letters of opposition to the pro-
posed mobile home park.
Perhaps most telling is that of
Rocky Kitchens, deputy super-
intendent of schools, who said the
proposed project on the west side
of Florida Avenue, north of Grimes
Road and south of Metheny Road,
would worsen traffic circulation at
the elementary school almost
across the road from the proposed

retirement community.
"Many cars are parked on the
street side of North Florida Avenue
waiting to pick up and drop off stu-
dents. Traffic at the school is
already heavy and congested both
before and after school. The School
Board is concerned that the addi-
tional vehicular traffic will present
a safety issue for students and par-
ents."
The Kitchens' letter also notes
the school is an emergency man-
agement shelter and wonders if it
would have adequate shelter space
for the entire residential park.
Area residents also objected.
"The use and intensity of the trailer
park is incompatible with the sur-

rounding neighborhood. The neigh-
borhood is zoned for single- family
development and should be devel-
oped for the purpose," said one
writer.
Drivers use Florida Avenue to go
to Wal-Mart to avoid U.S. 17 traf-
fic," said another. The property
was zoned R-3 for single-family
zoning, which would fit in nicely
with area residences. We want to
keep our quiet neighborhood where
we can grow old with our single-
family homes," that letter said.
One man said his 90-year-old
mother, a lifelong Hardee County
resident, had lived on Metheny
Road for the past 70 years. "A
mobile home community of that

density will place additional burden
on the two-lane roadway and
increase the congestion that already
exists at the elementary school.
A mobile home community, while
some are quite nice, is not appro-
priate for the surrounding single-
family neighborhood," he conclud-
ed.
According to the preliminary site
plan in the packet, the 58-acre park
would have a single entrance and
interior roads and sidewalks around
the active adult retirement village
and the central clubhouse which
would have a pool and recreational
facilities.
The proposed project will have

'Pumpkins In The Park' On Saturday

By BRETT JARNAGIN
For The Herald-Advocate
Main Street Heritage Park will be
transformed Saturday into a pump-
kin patch for everyone to enjoy.
The fifth annual Pumpkins in the
Park celebration, hosted by Main
Street Wauchula, and coordinated
by Megan McKibben, its executive
director, is open to anyone that is
looking for family fun. It can be
compared to a fall festival with its
many activities.
Activity will begin at 10 a.m. and
last until 2 p.m.
Children will be able to enjoy

games, an inflatable bouncy room
and a hayride around town. Parents
can also get pictures of their kids in
the pumpkin patch, a perfect oppor-
tunity for pictures to send to rela-
tives for the holidays.
However, it will not just be the
kids that will have all the fun.
Adults will be pleased to hear
that there will be a bake sale spon-
sored by the First Christian
Church's Women Alive program
and that they can participate in a
dessert auction. Seacoast National
Bank will be on hand to hold a raf-
fle for the March of Dimes.

Austin Growers will have a vari-
ety of different nursery plants
available for purchase, and the
Farm Bureau will be selling fresh
produce and pecans.
For anyone that gets even a little
hungry, the Wauchula Elementary
School Student Council will be
selling hot dogs to benefit the
school. Snow cones and kettle corn
are also going to be on sale.
The Culinary Clovers of the
Hardee County 4-H program will
be having a soup tent, featuring
various kinds of soups to provide a
little warmth for the possibly chilly

fall day.
What kind of community get
together would be complete with-
out music? Local Hardee Senior
High School students Lauren
Raulerson and Savannah Palmer
will be playing acoustic guitar and
singing for the crowd.
"Bring your family down and
enjoy the nice fall weather, its
going to be great," said McKibben.
Anyone looking to have a good
time Saturday can feel free to stop
by and enjoy the food and enter-
tainment that Pumpkins in the Park
has to offer.

Wins ZS

Election

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
Didi White has won in a land-.
slide over Sarah Lazo in this week's
balloting for a vacant seat on the
Zolfo Springs Town Commission.
When Monday's municipal votes
were tallied, it was White 36 and
Lazo 13.
The 49 voters who showed up at
the polling place to pick their next'
representative on the five-member
board equaled a dismal eight per-
cent turnout of the town's 591 reg-
istered voters.
Voter turnout has traditionally
been low in Zolfo Springs.
But White, 65, of Acorn Drive,
hopes to change that.
As election time drew near,
White said she decided to run for
the office in order to be a part of a
turnaround for the town. "I am hop-
ing we could have a more positive.
slant and be more helpful," she
commented. "If more were happen-
ing of a positive nature, people
would be more interested and
would get more involved," she pre-
dicted.
Voters approved giving her that
chance.

Kelly's Column
By Jim

The general election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 7. Early voting will be
available this week through Saturday 9 to 5 at the supervisor of elections
office at 315 N. Hwy. 17 (Sixth Ave.) in Wauchula.
Hardee Supervisor of Elections Jeff Ussery said Wednesday morning
778 Hardee County voters have cast their ballots in early voting to date.
Hardee has about 11,700 registered voters, active and inactive, including
7,066 Democrats, 3,395 Republicans and 1,283 other.
SUssery said results will be posted outside his office after the polls close
at 7 p.m. on Nov. 2 and will also be available online at www.hardeecoun-
tyelections. com.
Polls will be open 7 to 7 on Nov. 7. Ussery did not want to predict an
expected voter turnout in Hardee. He said some people have said they were
turned off by negative TV campaign ads. In the primary election on Sept. 5
local voter turnout was 25 percent.
Tuesday's election offers voters a wide range of contests, including
governor, U.S. senator, U.S. representative, other statewide offices, judges,
proposed constitutional amendments and a Hardee School Board race.
I like Bill Nelson for U.S. senator, Charlie Crist for governor, Bill
McCollum for attorney general, Alex Sink for chief financial officer,
Charles Bronson for commissioner of agriculture, and Ernest M. Jones for
iircuitjudge. I intend to vote yes on amendments 4 and 8.
S Each voter should carefully csider their choices and study the ballot.
before making their choices. It is good to have a democracy and freedom to'
tlect our political leaders.

And overcame a 7-0 deficit midway the fourth quarter and scored 10 points
m the last three minutes to win.
Z Fourth quarter wins do not happen by chance or accident. They are the
result of a lot of hard work, dedication and good coaching for weeks and
months, even years, prior. The coaches stress that CATS stands for
Character, Attitude, Trust and Strength.
With that win the 2006 team has earned Special Team status, and any-
thing else good that happens this season is gravy. Hardee plays at tough

Have A Degree? You

Can Become A Teacher

People with bachelor's degrees
can bec me qualified to work as
primary and secondary teachers in
Florida by attending South Florida
Community College's Educator
Preparation Intitute.
Candidates can learn more about
the EPI program\at a public infor-
mation session on hursday, Nov. 2,
from 5 to 6 p.m.\in the SFCC
University Center Au itorium at the
Highlands Campus in Avon Park.
The majority of classes meet 8
a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturdays in Room
209 of the University Center.
Several classes are taught online.
Each will run about five weeks.
Because courses are not taught in
any particular sequence, students
are not required to take classes con-
secutively and can enter the pro-
gram at the intervals when new
classes become available. The pro-
gram can be completed in about a
year.
Classes will focus on profession-
al teaching practices in such areas
as classroom management, instruc-
tional strategies, integrating tech-
nology into the classroom, and test
preparation. Twice a year, in the fall
and spring, students will complete a

15-hour internship during which
they will observe a teacher who is
compatible with the subject matter
and grade level they wish to teach.
Graduates of the EPI program
will receive teaching certificates
from the Florida Department of
Education once they pass the
Florida Teacher's Certification
Exam.
To be accepted into the EPI, stu-
dents must obtain a status of eligi-
bility letter from the Florida
Department of Education and apply
at the SFCC Registrar's Office.
Afterward, they receive an applica-
tion from Colleen Rafatti, EPI pro-
gram coordinator.
Tuition for EPI classes is roughly
equivalent to the credit-hour classes
offered in the associate degree pro-
grams. Like college students in
other programs, EPI participants are
eligible for some types of financial
aid, including Pell grants. Military
veterans can also apply for Troops
to Teachers scholarships through
the U.S. Department of Defense.
For more information, call
Rafatti at 784-7403 or send e-mail

Cowboy Documentary Filmed Here

By C.J. MOUSER
For The Herald-Advocate
Miriam Webster's first definition
of a cowboy is: one who tends cat-
tle or horses; a usually mounted
ranch hand.

To the average American, a cow-
boy is a man who rides the range
astraddle a horse, mending fences
and keeping the herd out of trouble.
He comes into town maybe once a
month to buy supplies, typically
including tobacco and liquor, and if
he's lucky, he might sleep in a real
bed for a night or two.
This type of life is gradually dis-

appearing.
While rodeos are just as popular
now as ever and men still herd
cows on horseback, often the hors-
es are moved from place to place
by truck-drawn trailers and there
might even be a cell phone tucked
down in a saddlebag here and there.

tional cowboy way has not escaped
the notice of nationally acclaimed
film director Victor Milt, who has
directed such movies as "White
Slavery in New York," and "The
Whistle Blowers."
His 2004 documentary film, the
36-minute "The Cowboys of
Florida," was filmed entirely on
location in Hardee and Desoto
counties. It captures as closely as
possible the fading way of life of
the Cracker cowboy.
It was a review of this simple
documentary by producers and
television network associates that
led to the expansion of the docu-
mentary to a 75-minute feature-
length film, and prompted addition-

al filming two weeks ago at
Carlton Bar-A-Ranch west
Wauchula.
The film has already won
Florida's Choice Award at the 2
Independent Film Festival
Tampa, the Silver Award in
documentary category at the
Muddy Film Festival in Tr
pealeau, Wisc., and the Palm Be

"The Cowboys of Florida" as

SEEDS
FROM
THE V
SOWER"
Michael A. Guido
Metter, Georgia

The officer's wife was detailing
her husband's accomplishments
to her new maid.
"My husband," she said proudly,
"is the head of the State militia."
"Indeed, mum," answered the
maid, "I might have guessed it.
He's got a malicious look!"
What kind of a look do you
have?
If you have the Lord within, His
loveliness will be seen without.
Your face will reflect blessed-
ness, not bitterness. Our eyes will
radiate faith, not fear. Your
expression will register affection,
not aggression. Your features will
reveal kindness, not cruelty.
Let's pray with the Psalmist,
"Let the beauty of the Lord our
God be upon us."

All science is concerned with
the relationship of cause and
effect. Each scientific discovery
increases man's ability to pre-
dict the consequences of his
actions and thus his ability to
control future events.

"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.

Letter To The Editor

Ona Man Escapes Death,

Paralysis When Truck Flips

Dear Editor:
On Wednesday evening a little
after 7 p.m. Monty English, 30, of
Post Plant Road was driving north
to see a friend. The road ditches
had been pulled up onto the road
and the sod cut up and re-graded.
leaving a rough and treacherous
surface.
The following description of
events was given by a trained
observer, Corvil Justesen, a retired
law officer with many years of ser-
vice.
Monty's truck slid off the right
hand shoulder of the road and while
being corrected hit a culvert with
the right rear tire causing it to blow.
The truck fishtailed to the right and
rolled violently.
On the second roll Monty was
ejected upward through the sun
roof where his upward movement
was stopped by the lower power
line ground wire which caused him

to slide forward underneath the
ground wire.
He impacted the power .pole
across his upper shoulders of his
back causing him to rotate like a
helicopter blade to the ground, hit-
ting flat of his back in the ditch
about 25 feet further on. The truck
rolled against the pole, stopping it
from rolling over him.
The observer (Justesen) rushed
to his side expecting him to be
dead. Monty was unconscious, and
the lawman rolled him on his side,
cleared his airway and Monty
began to breathe.
The observer had to leave the
scene to call 911 and expected
Monty to be dead when he rushed
back. He was amazed upon his
return to find Monty sitting on the
road shoulder with his head
between his knees.
He received excellent care by the
responding EMT team at the site

COURTESY PHOTO
Monty English narrowly escaped death or paralysis when he
lost control of his truck and was ejected through the sunroof.
Quick action by witness Corvil Justesen helped save his life.

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION

If you commit a crime and are tried in court
And acquitted by a twist of a tort,
Are you really innocent of what you've done?
Even if the courts say you have won.
But that's not true, there's a universal law.
It works all the time without a flaw.
It's the Law of Compensation, there's a price to pay,
Even if things seem to be going your way.
There's a price internal for everything you do.
It must be paid no matter how you argue.
Harm someone, you'll know it within,
Even if the courts say you shall win.
You'll know in your heart, you're guiltier than sin.
So before you do anything,
These questions ask even if it's a simple task.
Is this task wise? Will it hurt anyone?
Will everyone benefit when the task is done?
Will everyone say it's a win/win deal?
Will everyone be satisfied with how they feel?
Am I willing and able to pay the total price?
Will everyone be free of sacrifice?
S If you can say Yes to these questions, you can be sure
Everyone will be a winner, everyone willfeel secure.

awarded to Elizabeth Durrance,
owner of Cat's Corner.

ily for three generations, and has

they pass by. This suction brings
the cyclists in, and then, as physics
says, pushes them back out as the..
vehicle passes.
Wauchula Chief of PoliCe,
William Beattie added, "As if
drawing in a nearly unprotected ,'
person close to'a vehicle traveling 9.
af speeds of 60 mph is not bad":
enough, the pushing away can:
cause the bicyclist to overcompen- '/
sate and crash."
Beattie said, "This is a very good,'"
law, and I am glad the state passed
it. We are going to have to enforce,
it in a case-by-case way, pulling'.
people over and explaining what;.'
they did wrong."
"Getting the word out is going to'
be our main concern," he added.
Since Hardee County is a very
rural community with lots of bicy-
clists, Maj. Claude Harris of the .'
Sheriff's Office also agreed that the
law is a very good idea.
"If we had more bicycle paths.''
like Polk County, we wouldn't have
as much of a problem. What we do
have is narrow strips that are dank
gerous to bicyclists," Harris said. '
"It is going to be hard for us to
do, but we are going to be trying
our best to keep the roads safe for
everyone," he added.

WEATHER SUMMARY
A cold front crossing the State mid to late week brought welcomed rains
to nearly all localities during October 23-29. From one to nearly three inch-
es 6f rain fell in the Panhandle and parts of the northern Peninsula, while
several central and southwestern areas recorded a half to two inches for the
week. Homestead, Orlando, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale reported a third inch
or ess rain falling during the week. The rains lessened the danger of wild
fire in central areas; however, more rain is needed. Strong winds toppled
tree's in the Panhandle and Big Bend area as the storms passed.
Temperatures in the major cities avera:- two to six degrees below normal.
Daytime highs were in the 70s, 80s and 90s while nighttime lows ranged
from the 30s and 40s in the Panhandle and some northern and central
Peninsula localities to the 50s and 60s in central and southern Peninsula
areas.
FIELD CROPS
Topsoil moisture supplies improved over the Panhandle and northern
Peninsula, but remained mostly the same in other areas where less rain fell.
Subsoil moisture remained about the same in most regions. Washington
County reported spots of surplus moisture. The mid to late week rainfall
slowed cotton and peanut harvests in the Panhandle and northern Peninsula.
In Santa Rosa County, growers mostly completed peanut harvesting while
cotton picking was over 65 to 70 percent finished at the end of the week.
Peanut and cotton yields averaged below normal in Jefferson County.
Peanuts on dryland heavier soils in the northwestern corner of Madison
County needed more moisture to be harvested. In Washington County pro-
ducers geared up to harvest the last of this year's hay crop.

The Center for Great Apes in
Wauchula will be featured in a PBS
documentary Sunday at 8 p.m.
"Chimpanzees: An Unnatural
History," a film by Allison Argo,
will be telling the story of captive
chimpanzees that have been used in
research for the U.S. Air Force and
for biomedical research.
The film took nearly three years
to complete because its focus is
such a touchy subject.
Using chimpanzees as test sub-
jects sparks moral concerns
because they are intelligent, and
their DNA matches humans nearly
99 percent.
Argo said in a press release that
testing centers would not grant
interviews and medical research
facilities would not comment on
the subject.
The documentary will be launch-

ing the 25th season of the PBS
show "Nature," and it will feature
two sanctuaries who have taken
some of these apes in. The great
ape sanctuary in Wauchula is one of
them.
There will be a short bit about
some of the ex-pet chimpanzees
and apes used in entertainment that
live at the center, and will show a
visit to the sanctuary.
The Center for Great Apes was
founded in 1991, and is home to 42
chimpanzees and orangutans rang-
ing from 1 to 46 years of age. Apes
coming from all walks of life live at
the sanctuary.
Some come from entertainment
backgrounds, such as Sammy the
orangutan, who played Dunston in
the. film "Dunston Checks In" and
others were once pets, like Denyse.
She is a 35-year-old chimpanzee
that was raised in a human family
from birth.

Topics to be covered include

Once the primates reach a certain
age, they can no longer be handled
by families or by their trainers, who
usually want to pawn them off any-
where they can. Luckily for the
apes, the sanctuary is open to them.
The mission of the center is sim-
ple, to provide permanent sanctu-
ary for chimpanzees and orang-
utans who need permanent lifelong
care.

Volunteers and caretakers hope
that the documentary will allow the
public to become more aware of
what actually happens to captive
primates in testing facilities and in
the entertainment business.
Patti Ragan, director of the
Wauchula center, welcomes volun-
teers interested in assisting with the
caregiving and -individual attention
needed there.

Ehey just kept on keeping on. It's a
stament to them. They kept

responded well.
Bryan named the entire defensive
team for Players of the Week. "I
can't single any one player out.
Two linebackers had double-digit

tackles. They all played up."
Stats show a total of 53 unassist-
ed tackles and another 57 assists,
for a total of 81.5. Terry Redden
and Will Krause each had 10.5
tackles and David Newcomb had a
dozen. Ricky Wiggins and Johnny

He also gave hats off to DeSoto
for its effort. They were bigger
across the ball and very physical.
They had schemed us up well and
took some things away from us.
They were coached up well. When
they adjusted to our pass game, we
had to go to the ground game to
keep them honest. They were doing
everything to beat us."
Bryan named co-offensive play-

Weston Palmer had 11 rushes for
39 yards and one touchdown and
was 10-of-17 passing for 176 yards.

This week Hardee travels to
Orlando to play the 6A Colonial
Grenadiers. "They have a winning
record (5-4) playing against some
of the toughest schools in their
area. They run the veer like us;
their triple option will match up
well for us. Coming off such an
emotional win over DeSoto, it
would be easy to let down, but we
intend to be ready," said Bryan.
Colonial has 31 seniors on its
2006-07 squad, with last year's
running backs Colson Marsh and
Cedric Griffin both back and
stronger as well as Kevin Elliott
who moved from quarterback to
receiver.
Last week's game began with
pre-game Senior Night ceremonies
honoring the 17 Bulldog seniors.
Anselmo booted the kickoff into
the end zone. DeSoto would have
started at its 10 but drew an imme-
diate penalty which moved the
Bulldogs back to their 10. After a 1-
yard game, a Shay Shine pass was
intercepted by Grimsley, who ran it
back 15 yards, and was stretching
for the end zone when he was
stripped of the ball.
DeSoto started over on its 5-yard
line, and lost four yards before
going forward. Tony Wallace
gained six yards, then junior Shay
Shine passed to his senior brother
Sheldon Shine for a 16-yard gain to
get away from the goal line. After

Bulldogs hunkered down and
refused to allow Palmer over the
goal line, stopping him at the 1-foot

downs as the second quarter began.
The entire second quarter was a
mirror of the first. Hardee got out
of trouble when backed up at its
own 5-yard line and Sheldon Shine
twice caught passes from his broth-

Palmer took a knee to end the first
half.
The second half started poorly
for Hardee as a fumble of the kick-

Hardee Livestock Market Has

Sold Cattle Since 1947

By SUE ANN CARPENTER
Special To The Herald-Advocate
Robert Ray Smith has been the
guiding force for the last 36 years
of the 59-year history of the Hardee
Livestock Market in Wauchula.
Originally Wauchula's Livestock
Market was started by brothers Jim
and Bob Robinson in 1947. Later it
was sold to Russell Farmer, who
then took in Doyle Carlton Jr. and
Jack Duncan as partners. In 1970
Farmer and Robert Ray Smith
bought Carlton and Duncan's
shares. In 1974 Doyle Carlton III
and Robert Ray Smith bought
Farmer's share, and in 1980 Smith
bought out Carlton and has since
been responsible for the entire
operation.
Lots of changes have occurred.
In the beginning everything was
done manually, but now the com-
puter takes care of sales and writes
checks. At first they sold swine, but
no longer. Smith has speeded up the
Process, knowing that time is
money.

"We run 168 head an hour
through here, because labor and
insurance is costly and unreal. It's
hard to make a living. It's all about
numbers, and of course when you
have larger quantities of cattle auc-
tioned it makes more money,"
Smith. said.
Hardee Livestock Market active-
ly solicits cattle for sale from
Highlands, Hardee, Polk, Sarasota,
Manatee and Collier counties.
They start receiving cattle on
Sunday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.
On Monday they start at 7 a.m.
until it's over, usually around 8:30
to 9 p.m., and average 1,000 head.
"We deal mostly with local rep-
resentatives of buyers from out
West who will background their
cattle purchases (prepare the calf
for grazing and/or the feedlot).
They buy them at 400 to 450
pounds and let them graze to 700
pounds. Later they're put in the
feedlot until they're 1,050 to 1,150
pounds. and then they are slaugh-

tered. That's where we get our good
corn-fed beef from. We sell both
steers and heifers to buyers out
West. It's easier to haul the cattle to
the feedlot than vice versa," Smith
said.
"I remember when the highest
price used to be $30. The typical
weight was 300 pounds then.
Genetics and breeding technology
are better now with calves running
300 to 450 pounds and bringing
$500. Our cattle numbers are down
because there's just not as many
being raised. Development, phos-
phate mining and citrus take up the
acreage today," Smith said.
Born and raised in Hardee
County, Smith said he got his break
when he and Russell Farmer got
together. "He needed a partner, and
I had cattle. I never dreamed I'd be
in this business so long and enjoy it
so much. The most gratifying part
is talking with cattle producers.
We're a service organization, and
in only ten minutes they have their
money. We sell between thirteen
and twenty million dollars worth of
cattle a year," Smith said.

Cimeus on the draw, and two short
plays. With 38 seconds left, Hardee
was within sight of the goal line.
The 'Cats let the time wind down
to seven seconds. With the ball rest-
ing on the 5-yard line, Anselmo
came on to attempt the 24-yard
.field goal. The snap was good.
Krause set it up quickly and
Anselmo booted it through the
uprights as the Hardee crowd went
wild. The Blue Star Brigade, which
had been running up and down the
sidelines with the team, erupted
noisily for the overflow Hardee
crowd which packed the tiny
stands, the walkways and end
zones.
A Hardee squib kick was fielded
at the 25 and Bulldogs kept pitch-
ing it to one another until they were
finally stopped. A late hit on Briant
Shumard drew a penalty flag but
time had run out. A fight was pre-
vented by Wildcat coaches pulling

there was no traditional handshake.

The daughter of a steel worker,

Christine's parents taught her the

importance of spending responsibly.

Hired as a bank teller at age 17,

she worked her way up to become

bank president by being fiscally

conservative and making good decisions.

As president of a local bank, Jennings:

* Managed millions of dollars and
stayed on budget.

* Ran a clean, ethical business that
treated its employees well and
exceeded financial projections.

* Helped community members finance
their dreams and build wealth.

"If I had managed my bank the way

Congress runs, we wouldn't have

lasted a week. In Washington I'll

restore fiscal discipline to the budget

process by demanding accountability

and a balanced budget."

How do you spell success?
Successful people have many tools in their life-skills tool belt. They
know how to make good decisions, they have facts on how substance abused
affects their lives and they are optimistic about the future.
This essay by Brenda Miranda is the final winning essay from the Drug
Prevention Coalition's essay contest. It is evident from the essay that
Brenda, who wrote this at Hardee Junior High School, is destined to be suc-
cessful in life because she has demonstrated her knowledge of some very
important tools.
As you read her essay, you will see that she knows how to make good
decisions and is doing this at an early age; she is aware of some facts about
substance abuse; values her education, family and friends; and she is excit-
ed about the future being bright, interesting and something she does not
want to miss.
MY PLAN FOR STAYING DRUG FREE
By Brenda Miranda
How I plan to stay drug free is not to smoke and not to do any other
drugs just because I think it's cool or because I am bored.
People smoke just because they think it makes them look cool. But I
know that it is bad for me. Why take a chance? And if I do then there's a big
chance that I'm going to die. Then I won't get to see what life is like in the
future. Instead of smoking I can do things that are more fun. Like go out-
side, go for a walk, go to a friends house and other fun stuffother than,
smoking and doing drugs.
Anyone that does drugs is just so dumb when they know that there's
still life ahead of them. But for sure I know that I will never ever do drugs.
If anyone ever offered me drugs I would try to change the subject or if that
doesn't work then I would say "NO" I would rather go do my homework or
that I have got to go help my mom.
If I was the governor then I would say that whoever sold bad drugs
would have to go to jail and throw the drugs away. I if ever got married aid
had kids then I would not let my husband and my kids use bad drugs. I also
wouldn't let them hang out with others that use drugs.

Once again, I want to thank the participants in the Druig Prevention
Coalition's essay contest: Lindsay Moon, Gregory Garza, Mayra Nolasco.-
Cruz, Megan Malone and Brenda Miranda.
Enjoy your prize money and continue to make good choices!
Our appreciation also extends to Kathy Mulcay as the teacher of the top.
winner. Your support is valuable in spreading the message to our youngsters
to "Plan To Stay Drug-Free."

MAKING SNOWBALLS A local entrepreneur has set up shop in
the shave- .e business.
Starting in April, Wauchula resident Hope Wright began her first busi-
ness venture with The Sno-Ball Factory Inc., a mobile shaved-ice stand that
caters to events around the entire county.
The stand is actually a trailer equipped with a mechanical ice shaver,
deep freezer and, irhportantly, a flavor rack that accommodates 48 different
flavors of syrup. Blue raspberry and cherry are local favorites, and special-
ties such as Jolly Rancher and Wildcat are also available.
"I have wanted to do this for about five years; I needed a change of
pace. I also wanted to do something that gave back to the community,"
Wright said.
The Sno-Ball Factory travels around the county and specializes in
attending fundraisers. There, a percentage of the profit made will be re-
turned to the fundraising group.
Wright reminds customers that since her shaved ice stand is mobile, it
is available for all manner of events from birthday parties to school and
church functions.
For more information or to book The Sno-Ball Factory for your next
party or event, call Wright at 781-3757.

Golden Nuggets
By Lorraine and John Gillespie 'i
Alpha & Omega Freedom Ministries of Wauchula

Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keep-
ing His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I
command you today.
Deuteronomy 8:11
He is talking to us through this Scripture and others following it. Hii
is saying, "after I bless you, do not forget Me. I am the-One that brought
you'out of bondage, Who led you through all your troubles (the wilderness
in your life)?, I gave you jobs, I fed you, and I met your needs."
He wants us to know He does all these good things for us and tells u
to beware lest we say in our minds and heart that we did all these thing,
ourselves that it was by our own power.
Vs 18 says "But you shall remember the Lord, your God, for it is H1
Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant
which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day." It also goes on to say thaq
if we forget the Lord and go after other gods, we will surely perish. He a lso
says in His word that we will perish if we do not obey Him.
SWe, Christians, are the seed of Abraham and receive the same blessing
he received. Read Deuteronomy 28. A Golden Nugget would be to always
remember God is the One who blesses us and we need to learn how toi
receive Him.

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo
Well, Football Fans, it is finally November. This is the month champi-
on'ships are won. Thursday night on ESPN begins a series of huge games to
determine the National Championship. West Virginia takes its number one-
raiked rushing offense to Louisville to match undefeated records in that
contest. Will it determine the Big East Champion? It may not as Rutgers
Will have something to say about that when the Scarlet Knights face both
West Virginia and Louisville later.
; The Heisman Trophy race is heating up. Ohio State QB Troy Smith
appears to have a slight lead over West Virginia running back Steve Slaton
an'd Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn.Two other Big East players are close
behind. Rutgers' running back Ray Rice and West Virginia QB Pat White
are gaining much deserved attention also. This month is critical to those
players' chances as the showdown games take center stage in college foot-
ba0l.
*" One player from West Virginia should be the odds on favorite to win
ai. equally important "Heisman Trophy." The prestigious Vincent dePaul
Draddy Trophy is given annually to the top academic player in college foot-
ball. It is considered the "Academic Heisman Trophy". Mountaineer three
year starting linebacker and four year lettermen Jay Henry has maintained a
perfect 4.0 GPA in his career in Morgantown. He has been named to the
NCAA Academic All-American Team for the second straight year. Herlry
,recently was awarded an $18,000 National Football Foundation
Scholarship to pursue an MBA in graduate school. West Virginia routinely
dominates the Big East All-Academic Team but Jay Henry stands alone
with a record of never having made less than an A in his academic life from
grade school to graduate school.
Florida State losing to Maryland has to be another low point in FSU
history. Bowden will hear more screaming from FSU fans and boosters this
week for sure. The coach says he still has work to do and is not consider-
ing retirement. One still has to wonder how long the slide will last until
FSU officials say that's enough? There is no sympathy being shown in
Gainesville for the FSU legend however. Gator Fans are enjoying the
demise as a quick read of internet message boards would confirm.
...Speaking of the Gators, it is a cliche to say an ugly win is better than a
loss but that is the cry from the Swamp after a 21-14 less-than-command-

ing win over Georgia. The Gators now lead the nation in penalties and
turnovers. Urban Meyer will have some work to do to correct those unflat-.
tering stats. Next up-Vanderbilt.
As we enter November, here is the Swami's Top-Ten Rated teams in
College Football:
1. West Virginia 7-0 White, Slaton and Schmitt behind the best
offensive line in college football lead the nation in rushing.
2. Ohio State 9-0 Buckeyes have a signature, win over Texas.
3. Louisville 7-0 Depite losing Bush and injuries to Brian Brohm,
Cards still unbeaten.
4. Texas 8-1 Only loss is was to Ohio State. Still, the defending
National Champs.
5. Michigan 9-0 With not so impressive wins over Northwestern
and Vanderbilt, they must beat OSU to move up.
6. Auburn 8-1 Tigers did beat Florida but playing Buffalo and
Arkansas State.
7. Florida 7-1 Gators would love a rematch with Auburn.
8. Tennessee 7-1 Vols forgetting 2005 as predicted.
9. Rutgers 7-0 Rice and Leonard rival West Virginia for the best
backfield in America.
10. Arkansas 7-1 Whoo Pig! They lost early but are coming on
strong.
Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare:
1. Florida vs. Vandy Gators will play better against an improved
Vandy team. UF 34 Vanderbilt 13.
2. Virginia at FSU Noles will rebound against the hapless;Cavs.
FSU 27 UVA 13.
3. Tulane at Marshall Thundering Herd appears to have turned the
corner with two straight wins. Ahmad Bradshaw needs 12 yards to reach the
1,000 mark. Marshall 38 Tulane 27.
4. West Virginia at Louisville The biggest game of the weekend on
Thursday night! The Mountaineers have National Championship hopes on
the line. Last year's 46-44 win in 3 OTs was one of the most exciting I ever
attended. This game is equally hyped but won't be as close. West Virginia
35 Louisville 23.
5. LSU at Tennessee Great SEC showdown in.Knoxville.Yols win
a squeaker. Tennessee 34 LSU 31. .
6. East Carolina at UCF Knights have chance to throw the CUSA'
East race into chaos with a win. UCF 27 ECU 24.

7. Virginia Tech at Miami This is a Prime-Time laugher.Where is
the ESPN Gameday Crew? Miami 21 VPI 20.
8. Arkansas State at Auburn Why Mr. Tiger Athletic Director?
Auburn 60 ASU 0.
9. Pitt at USF Bulls have had two weeks to prepare for the
Panthers. USF needs that 6th win to be bowl eligible but Palko and com-
pany will make them earn it if they do. Pitt 34 USF 13.
10. Notre Dame at North Carolina Army, Navy, Air Force and now
this. Brady could win the Payton Award or 1-AA Heisman with that sched-
ule. Notre Dame 55 UNC 7.
11. Arkansas at South Carolina Another great night for Spurrier and
fans but the Hogs are on mission to get to Atlanta. Should be a good one to
watch. Arkansas 35 USC 27.
12. Maryland at Clemson Can you fear the turtle two weeks in a
row? Clemson 34 Maryland 17. '
13. Southern Cal at Stanford would not want to be a Cardinal this
week. USC 56 Stanford 3.
14. Ohio State at Illinois Buckeyes to get Zooked? Doubtful isn't it.
Ohio State 51 Illinois 10.
15. Oklahoma State at Texas Cowboys have some life but Hook'em
Horns prevail. Texas 38 OSU 17.
16. Atlanta at Detroit Falcons fly in and snatch a victory. Atlanta 31
Detroit 14
17. Tennessee at Jacksonville Jags have too much for Titans. Jak 27
Tenn. 17.
18. New Orleans at Tampa Bucs pull off a great win. Tampa 24
New Orleans 23.
19. Miami at.Chicago Bears on; a roll. Chicago 24 Miami 10.
20. Indianapolis at New England Should be the best game of the
season so far. New England 38 Indianapolis 35.

Brutus Bound For State Swimming

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Senior Casey Brutus gets a trip to
Fort Lauderdale this weekend.
Brutus, the son of Rodger and
Jan Brutus of Wauchula, will repre-
sent the Heartland in the 100
Breaststroke, the only swimming
event at the Class 1A-Region 2
meet in which someone from the
Heartland qualified. He came to the
wall in 1:06.69 An Avon Park diver
was the only other local to advance
to the state finals.
Several other Hardee swimmers
braved inclement weather to have a
successful day in the regional meet
at Orlando.
Competition was keen from. host
Trinity Prep' of Winter Park, Lake
Highland Prep of Orlando, Lincoln
Park of Fort Pierce, Suncoast of
Riviera Beach, Cocoa Beach,
Benjamin of North Palm Beach,
Harmony of Orlando, Bishop
Moore of Orlando, Dreyfoos of

Josh Carroll -of Fort Pierce,
Cardinal Newman of West Palm
Beach and local schools such as All
Saints' Academy of Winter Haven,
Avon Park, Lakeland Christian,
Frostproof and usually strong
Lake Placid which did not have any
swimmer or diver advance.
Sophomore captain Kaitlin
Justice finished 18th in both the 50
.and 100 freestyle, the first regional
finishes for the girls in several
years. She finished the 50 free in
28.61 seconds and the 100 freestyle
in 1:04.35.
Another sophomore, Tyler Rob-.
ertson also did well in the prelimi-

Casey
naries of the 50 and 100 freestyle.
He was hinth after the 50 prelimi-
nary, but strained his knee in the
100 preliminaries and barely fin-
ished 16th in. the finals' of each
event.
Brutus, the boys captain, placed
14th in the 200 freestyle in a time
of 2:05.04, with.soph Chris Reid
19th at 2:16.64and freshman Josh
Rickett 21st at 2:19.29.
Soph Joe Porter placed 23rd in
the 100 butterfly, finishing in a time
of 1:31.58, dropping five seconds
off his best time.
In the 400 freestyle relay, Porter
replaced Robertson in joining Reid,
Rickett and Brutus for a 13th place
finish.

Several of the boys will work
with Brutus thisweek, pushing him
to lower his breaststroke times for
Saturday's meet. "This week's
training will be high intensity and
focused on swimming his best time
Saturday," said coach Dick Diggett.
"I'm real pleased with the swim-
mers. They worked hard, some of
the best teams I've had at that level.
I can't think of better kids to take to
a meet. When they make it over the
private schools, I just enjoy it."
For the boys squad, Brutus is the
only senior. The Davis twins, Jahna
and Juliann, new to the sport this
year, will graduate from the girls
squad.
Daggett has a huge cast of under-
class swimmers expected to cement
his teams next fall. The juniors are
Sarah Ezelle, Ana Moric, Noelia
Pesquera and Sean McCandless.
Sophs are Justice, Porter, Reid,
Robertson, Michelle Beck, Katie
Jernigan, Courtney Nicholson,

An Open Letter

to the People of the 13th District

from Vern Buchanan

DearFellow Citizen,
We began this long campaign over a year ago, and we had high hopes as we anticipated talking about the issues that will
shape the world in which we and our children will live,
I guess it was naive to expect a totally positive campaign, but for nearly a year, we talked about the issues that matter
and barely mentioned our opponents. We were the first campaign to identify border security as a top campaign issue and
propose a plan to make our country safer.
Then came the negative ads. I don't like them and wish we couldban them, but the law doesn't allow it. So here we are,
a few days out from the election, and all kinds of false charges have been made about me and my family. I want to take
this one last opportunity to set the record straight.
I've never been bankrupt andlways pay my taxes, I make mistakes like everyone else, but I always try to do what right
and learn from life's challenges. My companies have created thousands ofjobs and hundreds ofbusiness opportunities
for others, and hopefully we've made life better for a lot of people and the community in which we live. That's what
public service ought to be about

My opponent has an ad that calls me corrupt" and says I "pay no taxes." What is truly sad about this is that Christine
and I are friends. She was my banker. She knows these wild negative charges are not true. But Christine Jennings
doesn't have control of her own campaign. Washington does: Liberal groups in Washington have spent millions of
dollars trying to buy our seat in Congress- that's why I've spent my own money -to counter these mill ions ofdollars
in false charges.
All of these negative ads are a diversion that keep us from talking about the real issues. The real issues are securing
America and our borders, winning the war on terror, supporting our troops and veterans, protecting and preserving
Social Security and Medicare, keeping our taxes low and making homeovwer's insurance more affordable-
Your vote really matters in this race. Our district could determine who controls Congress. My opponent joins liberal
Washington politicians who will raise taxes, give amnesty and Social Security to illegal aliens, cut Social Security and
raise the retirement age, enact strict gun control and allow abortion-on-demand. That's her team. That's who's paying
for her campaign.

My approach is different I don't much care what Washington thinks. I want to stand up for the people of our district,
and will always listento your concerns and fight for you.
I am honored to have the endorsements of GovemorJeb Bush, US. Senator Mel Martinez, FloridaAttornmey General
Charlie Crist, Congressman Adam Putnam; Wauchul, Mayor David Royal, National Rifle Association, National Right
to Life, Florida Farm Bureau, Florida Citrus Mutual, Farm Credit PAC and dozens of other elected officials and
organizations. My wife, Sandy, and I are grateful for the support of leaders whom we respect and to all the citizens of
our district who welcomed us into their homes and hearts, and we will always remember your generosity and support.
Thank you for your consideration, and I would be deeply honored by your vote of support. God bless you, and God
bless America,

Hardee Boys Run To Regionals

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee boys cross country ran
against the best last Wednesday.
Competing against 2005 state
champion Tampa Jesuit and other
top teams among the 13 in the
Class 2A-District 5 meet in Tampa,
Hardee boys were the only team in
the Heartland to advance.
Hosted by Jesuit at the Al Lopez
Park in Tampa on Oct. 25, Jesuit
again took the district title with 27
points, its runners placing first, sec-
ond, fifth, ninth and 10th.
SAgainst that caliber competition,
Wildcat senior Jose Gutierrez beat
two of them by placing eighth with
a personal best 17:14, 15 seconds
better than his lowest time of the
year. Junior Gilberto Gutierrez also
lowered his best time, coming
across the finish line at 17:30, 22
seconds off his season's best time.
Other Hardee runners did their

best, too. Senior Francisco "Paco"
Lozano shaved six seconds for a
new personal best of 19:08, while
freshman Nathan Tomlinson cut 11
seconds to finish at 20:18. Battling
a cramp junior Arnold Louis "hung
tough and just missed his best
time" of 20:05, finishing at 20:06,
reported coach Don Trew. Junior
Luis Reyes, at 19:51 and Justin
Hines at 19:57 rounded the varsity
squad, continued Trew.
The team qualified as a group,
with four of the seven runners post-
ing their fastest times of the season.
They move on to the Region 3
championships at Ed Radice Park
in Tampa tomorrow (Friday). "That
will add more state powers to the
mix," concluded Trew.
Hardee finished in sixth place
with 149 points, just behind
Clearwater Central Catholic. Only
the top six teams advance to
regionals. Among area teams trail-

ing Hardee were Sebring with
174.8, Bartow at 175, Lake Wales
at 270 and Avon Park at 340.
Hardee girls had a harder time,
some still feeling the effects of
donating blood at a high school
blood drive about a week earlier.
The girls placed ninth overall,
missing a trip to regionals and did
not have anyone place in the top 15
to advance as an individual.
Season leader soph Edith Leon
was battling swelling in her foot
and been limited to deep water
training, with ice before and after
running. She ran out of gas in the
district meet and came in a disap-
pointing 23:04, well off her season
best of 21:55.
Senior Mandy Cornelius was
also off her best time of 26:18, fin-
ishing the district meet at 26:53.
Senior team captain Maricela
Galvan dropped 1:23 off her sea-
son's best to finish at 24:09. "She

will now train for marathons while
getting ready for track season,"
commented Trew.
Underclass runners also cut

CARLTON TROPHY

times. Freshman Briana Aguila cut
22 seconds to finish at 26:54, class-
mate Guadalupe Flores dropped
1:10 to finish at 27:34, and fresh-

man Laura Galvan cut 56 seconds
to finish at 28:12. They also will
continue running to prepare for
their first track season.

SOWERS

Michael A. Guido
Metter, Georgia

A little boy was fishing with his
grandfather. Suddenly he asked,
"Grandpa, can anyone see God?"
"Son," he answered, "it's get-
ting so I can't see anything but
God."
I see the world and I see God:
The Bible says, "In the beginning
God created the heaven and the
earth."
I see man and I see God. The
Bible says, "God formed man out
of the dust of the ground."
I see fish, birds and animals
and I see God. The Bible says,
"God created every living crea-
ture."
This God is ever-present,
never-failing and all-powerful;
and He loves you. Why don't you
love Him?

There is little doubt that our veterans echo this strong sentiment by
Arthur Wellesley. On the day set aside for those who returned from
war, we must remember the ways in
"Take my wordfor it, which war altered their lives and
ifyou had seen but often their futures.
one day of war, you They took with them strong
wouldpray to young bodies. Some returned
Almighty God that crippled and many were aged by the
you might never see horrors of battle. They took with
such a thing again." them hopes for the future. They
Arthur Wellesley, returned to relive flashes of horror
Duke ofWelington from the past. They took with them
an appetite for victory. They
returned knowing hunger for peace, for in war there is no true victory.
This Veteran's Day as we honor those who returned from war, may

4 MABAM.A Quarterback John
Parker Wilson
suffered a sprained left ankle late in
the second quarter of last week's
3 8-3 victory over Florida
io international. "I was scared,"
Alabama head coach Mike Shula
said. "'Iat's how it is when any of
your starters go down. He is
probably going to be sore, but we
will get hiam-treatment and' hopefully
S he'll be ready to.go next wpek."
S ,ARKANSAS Junior cornerback
SMichael Grant
intercepted three passes in last
week's 44-10 victory over
Louisiana-Monroe. The 5-f6ot-11,
S 185-pound Grant, who entered the
Same with one career interception,
became the first Razorbacks player
sine Louis Campbell in the 1971 *
Liberty Bowl to record three
interceptions in a gate.
AUBURN Tristan Davis set up
the go-ahead field goal
in last week's 23-17 victory over
Mississippi with a 45-yard kickoff
return. "It was a deep ball, but I
S took it out and found a hole to hit and .
was able to get scare pretty good
yards out of it," DIais said.
SFLORIDA With 178 yards of total
offense in last week's
21-14 victory over
Georgia, senior quarterback Chris
Leak became the second player in
school history to collect 10,000
yards of total offense. Leak, who
S enters this week's gane against
Vanderbilt with 10,061 yards,
needs 440 more yards to break
Danny Wuerffel's school record.
IfBEORGIA The Bulldogs have
conmitted five
\turnovers in each of
their last two games. The rost
costly turnover in last week's loss
Sto Florida came on the first play of
the second half as'the Gators' Ray
McDonald recovered a Kregg
Lumpkin fumble and went nine yards
for what proved to be the gare-
winning score.
2006 RIENTUCKY The Wildcats held an
opponent under 100
rushing yards for
the first time in three years as they
limited Mississippi State to 24.
yards on 24 carries in last week's
34-31 victory. "It wasn't always
pretty, but it was fairly effective.
We got what we came here for, a
road win," said Kentucky head
coach Rich Brooks.
ereint ISU Safety LaRon Landrywas
named as one of 17
quarterfinalists for the Lott
Trophy, which is given by the Pacific
e Club IMPACT Foundation to the
ek college football 's Dfensive Player of
the Year. Joining Landry as a
.quarterfinalists were Georgia.'
defensive end Quentin Moses,
Arkansas linebacker Sam Olajubutu
SEC and Mississippi linebacker Patrick
's Wllis.
iMISSISSIPPI Linebackers
Patrick Willis and
Rory Johnson
81 recorded 15 tackles and 12 tackles,
respectively, in last week's loss to
lie Auburn. Willis, who has recorded
double-digit tackles in 15 of the
Rebels' last 17 games, matdced a
career high with his performance.
IMISS. STATE Tony Burks made
seven, receptions
for a career-high
192 yards and two touchdowns last
week against Kentucky. Burks
hauled in a 75-yard touchdown pass
from Michael Henig in the second
Quarter, which was the longest
scoring play of Burks' career.
ce S:CAROLINA After booting a
ory career-long
5 5-yard field goal
i's in the Gamecocks' victory over
Varderbilt, Ryan Succop nailed a
5 0-yarder in the second quarter of
ve last week's 31-24 loss to
Tennessee. The only other kicker in
school history to convert field goals
of 50 yards or longer in back-to-
back weeks is Mark Fleetwood, who
set the school record with a
5 8-yarder against Georgia on Sept.
rst 25, 1982, and made a 51 yarder
the following week against
Cincinnati.
is TENNESSEE Sophomore
defensive back
Demetrice Morley
didn't start against South Carolina,
but preserved the Volunteers' win
by intercepting a Syvelle Newton
r te pass on the game's final play.
"Dsaetrice Morley is being
disciplined for not taking academics
as seriously as he should, for
missing class and not telling ie the
;-3 truth, Tennessee head coach
3); Phillip Fulmer said.
Isas LVANDERBILT Chris Nicksofh
threw for 250 .
yards and picked
up an additional 150 on the ground in
tcr last week's 45-28 victory over
Dike. Nickson is the first Vanderbilt
signal-caller since Jay Cutler in
2002 to throw for more than 200
t yards and run for more than 100 .
yards in the sane game.

/

t was one of the lone bright spots il what turned out to be a
disappointing 2005 campaign for tile University of Tennessee.
I tile aftermatli of Hurricane Katrina, lte threat of Hlurricalle
Rita forced officials from Tenlnessee and LSL to reschedule the
football game between the two schools. The Sept. 26 game was
the first Monday night affair in the history of Tiger Stadium and it
proved to be a classic, at least forlI olutlTeers falls, as Rick
Clausen rallied Tennessee friomii a 21-point deficit to claim a 30-27
overtime victory.
The Volunteers didn't do much the rest of lhe season. losing
five of their final seven games and sitting out lie posseason fior
the first time since 1988. No coach may have bcen under more
pressure heading into 2006 than Tennessee's Pllilip Fulmter., who
was once considered golden after ilie 1998 national chaipllionslhip
season.
Knowing that something had to be done, Fulmier biokight back
his former offensive coordinator, Ole Miss head coach David
Cutcliffe. It seenis to be working so I'I and ilie Volunteers'
revitalized offense has comlplelmented a defensive unit that kept
Tennessee in the majority of its games last year.
The orange-clad Volunteer Navy will be out in lill force oi tlie
shores of tlihe Teiniessee Rivet Saturday afterooni as quarterback
Erik Ainge looks to move teii team one step closer nto Ia CS
bowl with a victory over LSU.
Having fallen to the top two teams-in ithe SEC. lle Tigers will
need some help to get to Atlanta and the conIerence challlpionslhip

Illustratil by Brue Plante 2006

erceived almost as an afterthought when itjoined the Atlantic
SCoast Conference, Boston College heads into the final month
of the season sitting on the pole in the Atlantic Division's
race to Jacksonville.
After defecting from thle Big East prior to the 2004 season,
heavyweights Miami and Virginia Tech were expected to
challenge for the conference crown every year. The Eagles were
expected to fall in the middle of the pack in the league standings.
Boston College has been anything but an also-ran in its first
two seasons in tle ACC. After falling o e game short of a division
championship in 2005. the Eagles have established themselves as
the league's elite team this season by finding a way to win close-
games.
Boston College faces another teamt that is gradually winning
respect Saturday night when it travels to Wake Forest's Groves
Stadium. With a victory over the Demon Deacons, the Eagles will
have to beat only Duke and Maryland to garner their first trip to a
'conference championship game.
Wake Forest has flirted with success each of the past three
seasons, only to fade down the stretch. This may have been a
factor in thle media placing Jim Grobe's squad last in the Atlantic
Division in preseason polling. TlheWake Forest players vented
their frustration about tile slight to anyone who would listen, nd
they have backed up their talk on the field this season byjumping
out to a 7-1 start.
* Records: Boston College 7-1 (3-1 ACC Atlatitic); Wake
Forest 7-1 (3-1 ACC Atlantic). Coaches: Boston College's
Tom O'Brien (73-43); Wake Forest's Jim drobe (66-66-1).
* Series: Boston College leads 6-5-2. t Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET
Saturday. TV: ESPN2.
Key for Boston College: Defend thle airways. The Demon
Deacons don't throw tle ball much, but Riley Skiner lhas
completed 81 of 117 passes for 1.001 yards with five touchdowns
and one interception this season and candies a quarterback
efficiency rating of 153.49.
Key for Wake Forest: Leadership in tle secondary from
safety Josh Gattis, who recorded a career-best 13 tackles, an
interception and a fumble recovery against North Carolina.

The Rest of the Matchups
In other games with title implications, Maryland, wlich is
currently tied with Boston College and Wake Forest atop tlhe
Atlantic Division, battles Clemson, and Coastal Division leader
Georgia Tech takes on N.C. State. Florida State hosts Virginia and
Virginia Tech visits Miami in the other two conference games.
and winless Duke steps out of conference play and finishes up a
four-game homestand against Navy.
Maryland at Clemson
a Records: Maryland 6-2 (3-1 ACC Atlantic); Clemson 7-2 (4-2
ACC Atlantic). E Coaches: Maryland's Ralph Friedgen (47-22);
Clemson's Tommy Bowden (77-39). a Series: Clemson leads
29-23-2. Kickoff: Noon ET Saturday. T TV: ESPN2.
Key for Maryland: Use Darrius Heyward-Bey's speed.
Heyward-Bey caught three passes for 57 yards and two
touchdowns to help the Terrapins beat Florida State.

24-7 victory.
Virginia at Florida State
Records: Virginia 4-5 (3-2 ACC Coastal); Florida State 4-4

Florida State's Bobby Bowden (363-111-4). N Series: Floridq
State leads 12-2. 9 Kickoff: Noon ET Saturday. a TV: Lincoln
Financial/Raycom Sports.
Key for Virginia: Defeinse has to set the tone early. Last
week's game against N.C. State marked tile fifth time this season
that the Cavaliers have held their opponent without a touchdown
in tile first half.
Key for Florida State: Big games from wide receivers
Chris Davis and Greg Carr, who combined for 216 yards and two
touchdowns on 13 grabs against Maryland.
Navy at Duke
* Records: Navy 5-3 (I-A Independent); Duke 0-8 (0-5 ACC
Coastal). I Coaches: Navy's Paul Jolhtson (95-34); Duke's Ted
Roof (5-30). a Series: Navy leads 18-12-5. K Kickoff: 1 p.m.
ET Saturday. U TV: Nonte.
Key for Navy: Stop Jomiar Wright short of the sticks. The
Duke receiver tuned three of his four catches against Vanderbilt
intb first downs and 41 of his 57 receptions this season have gone
for first downs.
Key for Duke: Play assignment football to the best of its
capabilities. The Midshipmen love the option, which helped their
head coach to a pair of Division I-AA national titles at Georgia
Southern.

Breaking Ground; God At Work

SWauchula Worship Center held a
groundbreaking service on its prop-
eity on West Main Street on Oct.
1B, 2006.
1:The new church will be built at
t e intersection of West Main
teet and Terrell Road, just west
c the First Baptist Church of
Wauchula.
fjWauchula Worship Center held
ifs first service on Aug. 4, 1996,
4ith just a handful of people.
Pastors Stephen and Jeannie
(Conley) Patrick had the vision to
start the church and, with the help
4id- support of Family Worship
Center of Lakeland, the work was
1egun.
' It has been meeting in a convert-
Sstore (the old Western Auto) in

the Earnest Shopping Center, next
to Cat's Corner. About three years
ago, the Patricks believed it was
time to build a larger, permanent
facility and found 21 acres of land
to purchase. "God supernaturally
helped this congregation pay for
this land within 12 months," reports
current Pastor Kenny Baker.
A year ago the Patricks believed
God was leading them to leave
Wauchula and move to Kenya to
teach and assist native ministers in
that African country.
For several months, the church
was turned over to Family Worship
Center of Lakeland, where Pastor
Reggie Scarborough was instru-
mental in helping the Wauchula
congregation through the transition

time. Rev. Glenn Ward was sent as
the interim pastor until a permanent
leader could be put in place.
In April 2006 Kenny Baker
became the new full-time pastor of
the Wauchula Worship Center. The
church has grown since the first of
the year to where it was evident that
the time had come for the church to
make plans to move to its property,
said Baker.
After months of planning and
decision making, time came recent-
ly to begin building the 6,400-
square-foot building, the first phase
of several building projects in the
planning for the church. The con-
gregation hopes to move into its
new home sometime between
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Church leaders dug hard to get the first shovelfuls of dirt for groundbreaking Oct. 18.

adults and children picked up a T-shirt and hard hat before they went on site. A triangular sign on
the back of the shirts proclaimed "Breaking Ground; God at Work."

ver 60 church members gathered to share in breaking ground for their new church home. Then all the members, including older children, got their turn to turn some dirt.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
A friend of mine is a safety engineer. He finds himself daily fighting a
lonely war against poisons in the industrial atmosphere that are mostly
invisible and unnoticed by the men and women who work around him.
His dilemma got me pondering about the safety of that very private
thought life in which each of us lives. Do we try to order our activities in an
unhealthy "smog" of opinions, assumptions and half-truths? How "safe" is
your mental environmental?
Most people read magazines, watch TV, talk with dozens of people
every day and absorb all kinds of information, true and untrue, without
thinking for a second about how this affects them.
But as Christians, we can't afford to do this. "As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). Our spiritual health and effectiveness in the
service of God are directly influenced by the thoughts we entertain. In this
Information Age, we can become polluted with unbiblical ideas and scarce-
ly notice it.
I'm not calling for morbid introspection, censorship or moving to
Idaho. I am calling for a vigorous awareness. The devil is peddling a lot of
ideas that are not as harmless as they seem. We must challenge them when
they come knocking and "strip search" them before granting entry.
A valuable protection is regular Bible reading. This will clear your head
of fuzzy notions in a wonderful way. I recommend at least one chapter each
evening at bedtime.
We are living in a disintegrating culture. If we want to please God, and
help some of the suffering people around us, we cannot afford to become
infected with the same destructive ideas that are doing all the damage.
Some of the most dangerous seem to be quite good first time around.
"Freedom", for example. All men need to be free in a political and eco-
nomic sense. But pushed too far, "freedom" comes to mean the right to do
as one pleases regardless of how it hurts others.
Another idea is "tolerance." It used to mean giving others the right to
express opinions that differ from ours. Today it means putting evil and good
on the same footing in public life.
There is a war going on. Like the average employee at the plant where
my friend works, few are aware of it because it's mostly invisible. But not
all ideas are created equal. Some will kill you. Some will kill a civilization.
Fortunately, some are powerful and true. We've got to know the difference
and have the courage to stand up for what we know is right!

Sheena Leigh DeVane of
Wauchula became the bride of
Thomas Albert Deemer of Wau-
chula in an afternoon ceremony on
July 29.
.The bride is the daughter of
Christina Staton and Donald
DeVane, both of Wauchula. The
groom is the son of Florence and
Tom Deemer ofZolfo Springs.
Officiating p.t the 4 o'clock cere-,
mony at Union 'Congregatiorial
P-fiurch in Aviio" Park 'was Larry
Clay of St. Augustine. Vocalists
included Angela Newman of Fort
Green and Mary, Lilly and Sonia
Deemer, all of Zolfo Springs.
Magnolias, lilies and roses in
shades of red, pink, beige and white
filled the church. Bridal stops
adorned each pew with mixtures of
the chosen flowers. The pews were
swathed in white tulle and accented
with either red satin or silver or
beige organza bows. The couple
stood beneath a white arch graced
with white tulle, red satin bows and
arrangements of magnolias and
roses.
The bride was given in marriage
by her mother and father. She wore
a white satin .go\n embroidered
with red roses.' The bodice of the
strapless gown wa4 enhanced with
intricate beading arid lace. The train
was a split semi-cathedral with
beaded layers. Her three-tiered veil
fell from a princess liara and was
edged in pearl beading. The bride's
bouquet of magnolias and red roses
was intertwined with large crystals
and cascaded 2-1/2 feet.
Lilly Deemer, the groom's sister,
served as maid of honor. Matron of
honor was Christina Detwiler of
Lakeland. Bridesmaids included the
groom's sister, Mary Deemer; the
groom's sister-in-law, Sonia
Deemer; the bride's cousins, Emily
Hurst of Lake Wales and Donna
DeVane of Bowling Green; Crystal
DeBoom of Wauchula; and Rachael
Evans of Lakeland.
All wore dresses of their own
choosing, which ranged from strap-
less designs to A-line skirts in satin
or taffeta with floral embroidery
and crystals. Each carried a bouquet
which echoed the bride's, but in a
round miniature fashion.
Ring bearers were Jaycee
DeBoom and Nathan Deemer, who
wore black pants and white shirts
with red ties. Flower girls Aiyona
Ortiz and Nadewi Ortiz each wore
white organza dresses with red satin
bodices and red satin embellish-
ments at the hem.
Serving as best man was Jesse

DeBoom of Wauchula. Groomsmen
included John Obi of St. Augustine;
the groom's brothers, Alex and
Jacob Deemer of Zolfo Springs;
and the bride's brother, Shane
Shepard of Wauchula.
The bride's mother wore a
maroon spaghetti-strap empire
gown, graced with a rose corsage
with red satin ribbon and a silver
double-heart charm at the edge' of
the arrangement.
The groom's mother was dressed
in an ivory pantsuit with silk trim
and satin embroidery. It was graced
with a rose corsage with red satin
ribbon and a silver double-heart
charm to set off the arrangement.
Following the ceremony, a recep-
tion was held at the Avon Park
Community Center.
A variety of flowers lined the
entranceway to the reception hall.
Miniature lights arranged in star-
burst patterns adorned the ceiling,
creating a soft glowing effect along
with red tulle. The stage held the
head table, flowers and lighted
trees. Guest tables held glass vases
and bowls with red and white roses
and votive candles. Most of the
tables were covered in black accen-
tuated with red or white tulle, ivory
and burgundy garland roses, lights
and candelabras for a classic
romantic theme.
Assisting with hospitalities were
Edith Christmas, who baked cakes
for the occasion, and Tammy Spain,
who. prepared food.
The bride wore a black and white
sleeveless wrap dress as the newly-
wed couple left for a wedding
cruise to the Cayman Islands and to
Cozumel, Mexico. The couple are
now at home in Wauchula.
The bride is a 2003 graduate of
Hardee Senior High School. She is
currently employed by the Hardee
County Chamber of Commerce
while pursuing a degree in political
science.
The groom is a 2001 graduate of
Hardee Senior High School. He is
employed at Hardee Correctional
Institution and at the Florida
Institute for Neurologic Rehabili-
tation.
A rehearsal dinner at the Quilter's
Inn in Wauchula preceded the cere-
mony. Guests dined on fiesta chick-
en, yellow rice and black beans,
with carrot cake for dessert.
Toasting the couple were John Obi,
Christine Detwiler and the bride's
father, Donny DeVane.
With the money I'm making, I
should be playing two positions.

first Hardee Countian to get a
Bronze Star for her service in Iraq.

Walter and Sonya Olliff, of
Wauchula, was home recently from

her parents and brothers Walter II
(Boomer) and James, who was
recovering from injuries in an auto
accident.

in October 1944 and amended in
August 1962, is awarded to a per-
son who has distinguished himself
or herself by heroic or meritorious
achievement or service in connec-
tion with military operations
against an armed enemy. This
includes acts of heroism of a lesser
degree than required for the award
of the Silver Star, and are meritori-
ous and accomplished with distinc-
tion.
The fourth highest award for a
military person cited for bravery,
heroism or meritorious service, the
Bronze Star was awarded to Olliff
upon return from her most recent
deployment.

Hardee Health Sees

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
There have been some good, and
some bad changes, in health and
health care in Hardee County in a
year's time.
At a recent meeting of the
Hardee County Commission,
health department officials present-
ed an annual report and received
approval of its fee schedule.
Marsha Rau, nursing director.of
the Hardee County Health Depart-
ment, had the 2004 health report
and said the 2005 report was just
released. She cautioned that "there
can be extreme variability in a sin-
gle year or three-year rates in a
county with small populations."
Still, there are some trends, per-
haps, seen in the differences in
2004's report and that of 2005.
Hardee is showing an increase in
population of a little over 7,500 in
the last decade but still is behind
state average percentages in the
upper age groups. Hardee is a little
top-heavy in percentages of babies,
children, teens and young adults,
'but the age populations 45-64, 66-
74 and over 74 are less than state
averages.
Of that populations, Hardee's

percent of white population (in-
cluding Hispanics) is higher than
the state average at 89.5 percent.
Hardee's black population is 9.3
percent, lower than the 16.4 percent
around the state.
Turning to ethnicity, 36.1 per-
cent, up slightly from the 35.7 per-
cent of 2004, is Hispanic and the-
non-Hispanic population has corre-
spondingly dropped a half percent-
age point. Statewide, the Hispanic
population is about half as much,
an average of 19.2 percent.
Hardee exceeds the state in the
percent of residents below the
poverty level, especially in children
in poverty and the percentage of
unemployment. Interestingly, a-
cross the state, nearly 80 percent
don't have a high school diploma,
but in Hardee County that number
is 58 percent. Only 5.1 percent of
Hardee County residents don't
speak English.
Major causes of death in the
county have changed. Though the
percentages of blacks in the county
is low at 9.2 percent, their death
rates from heart disease, cancer,
diabetes and pneumonia are pro-
portionately higher, significantly so
in cancer and diabetes.

Changes
Countywide, deaths from heart
disease and cancer are '.:wn from
2004, but those from stroke, motor
vehicle crashes, chronic respiratory
disease and diabetes are up.
Communicable diseases are
another area of concern. While
syphillis and gonorrhea seem under
control there had been an increase
in chlamydia, a sexually transmit-
ted disease which can cause pelvic
inflammatory disease and ecotopic
pregnancies.
Encouragingly, vaccine pre-
ventable diseases, such as measles,
mumps, rubella, tetanus and hepati-
tis B are down. Tuberculosis has
held steady with the one-on-one
home visits to ensure therapy is fol-
lowed. AIDS cases are down slight-
ly as are hepatitis A and meningitis.
Infant and maternity care is
another concern. Percentage of
pregnancies with no or only late-
term prenatal care is up a bit in the
white and Hispanic populations,
down slightly in the black popula-
tion. Births to unwed mothers is
high at 72 percent in the black pop-
ulation, 48.2 percent of whites and
49.5 percent of Hispanics.
Newborn and infant deaths have
dropped a little in all three popula-
tions.
Social and mental health factors
contributing to overall health have
changed a bit. Hardee ranks in the
third quartile in the state in rate of
suicide. Alcohol-related motor
vehicle crashes resulting in death
and injuries has significantly
increased. Larceny, motor theft,
forcible sex offenses and aggravat-
ed assault, where the county ranks
in the fourth quartile in the state,
are up. Burglaries, overall domestic
violence and robbery are down.
Rau reminded commissioners
that some statistics can be skewed,
even on a three-year average and
said a 10-year average for a small
county is better to see trends.
New grants have brought dental
care and drug payment assistance,
especially for the underinsured or
uninsured residents 18-44 with
chronic diseases, and another will
bring more pediatric care. Appli-
cations for any of these programs
are available at the health depart-
ment where they are screened for
residency and income eligibility
but can then use the provider of
their choice, Pioneer Medical
Center, Central Florida Health Care
or the health department.

Rules C
By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
An amendment in the county's
land development code will allow a
local mobile home park to change
ownership.
Approved at the Co. 19 Hardee
County Commission/Zoning meet-
ing, the county-initiated request
would allow a non-conforming
mobile home park to change to a
mobile home subdivision under
certain conditions.
The proposed amendment to the
Hardee County Unified Land
Development Code is to accommo-
date Wagon Wheel RV Park but
could apply to any other in the
same situation, said Nick Staszko,
county planning and development
director. Wagon Wheel is changing
from lot lease to individual owner-.
ship with a home owners associa-
tion to coordinate maintenance,
covenants and restrictions.
The amended section of the land
code would prohibit any other
changes in the park. It would
remain an over-55 park as there
"will be no change in the design,
layout, number of lots or open
space or any other change material
to the existing design, layout, con-
figuration and use of the mobile
home park. The degree of non-con-
formity that exists cannot be
expanded or changed" says the
amendment.. The only allowable
change is the addition of a pool,
which would add to the value of the
properties.
Homeowners within the park
could be subject to homestead
exemption and individual property
tax bills and fire control assess-
ments similar to any other
landowner.
In other zoning matters, the
county approved the preliminary
subdivision plat for Saddlewood
Acres, a 270-acre residential prop-
erty on Hammock and Skipper
roads and extending to SR 66.
There will be 48 lots of no less than
five acres each which will have
potable water wells and individual
septic tanks.
Engineer Bryan Hunter, repre-
senting owners Mattis Properties
Inc., said there would deed restric-
tions and a homeowners associa-
tion for maintenance of common

Fish Busters Bulletin
By Bob Wattendorf
Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission

FISHING REGULATIONS: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
S It's a real balancing act to try to decide whether we need more rules or
less rules, stricter rules or more lenient rules as we try to deliver what
Florida anglers want here in the best recreational fishery in the world.
We try to find out what the local public wants from the resource, and
provide it to them in appropriate locations. For instance, in some places
people may want a trophy bass fishery even if all the fish have to be
released. In others, they may be more interested in a bream and catfish fish-
ery that provides a lot of fish to take home for dinner.
In making these decisions, we must ensure we manage the resource,
not only for current demands, but with an eye to the future so the resource
can be "sustained" over the long haul.
For instance, the catch-and-release ethic and the importance of aquat-
ic habitats to landowners, boaters and others have to be part of the picture.
So, our challenge.is to balance the future of the resource based on the best
available science, with anglers and others enjoying the resource, while at
the same time, balancing the goal of optimizing public use in local areas
,*and keeping regulations simple.
One case in point is "spider rigs." These are boats with multiple fish-
ing rods, sometimes more than 20 per angler, that often target black crap-
pie (speckled perch) or other schooling fish. Similarly, some shoreline
anglers like to put out multiple poles, sit back and wait for the action to
unfold.
Although these anglers may increase their odds, they are still restrict-

ed to the same bag limits as an angler with a single rod or pole.
Many issues come to mind here, but our first concern is the resource.
Our biologists examine the population, size and growth rates of fish and
evaluate their habitat and available forage to get a good idea of the health
of a fishery (for instance, the crappie fishery in Lake Kissimmee).
They also examine the use of the fishery via creels (surveys of anglers
to determine how many fish they are catching and how many anglers are
using the resource how often).
From that we determine if the population is being over-fished or
remaining stable. Remember, native freshwater fish species have relatively
short life spans, and natural mortality often exceeds angling mortality, so
allowing some harvest is often good for the resource and does not adverse-
ly affect its sustainability.
If harvest needs to be regulated, this is normally handled by creel lim-
its, while size limits can help ensure fish have an opportunity to spawn at
least once before they are caught or help create higher-quality fisheries,
with more larger fish.
The second issue is public use and social perception. In the case of spi-
der rigs, as long as creel limits prevent these anglers from taking more fish
than other anglers and still protect the fishery, should the state regulate how
an angler takes them?
This is a quandary fishery biologists and administrators frequently deal
with and applies to many other techniques, such as use of electronic fish
finders, elevated platforms on boats for spotting fish, use of live versus arti-
ficial bait, underwater cameras for spotting fish, fish scents, flashing lights
and more.
As recreational fishing technology continues to improve and some
anglers revert back to what they consider to be more purist techniques, such
as fly fishing from a kayak, this question is bound to come up more fre-
quently. So, as we weigh the options, we are interested in knowing what's
best for your area.
The Florida Wildlife Commission wants to hear from our stakeholders,
and one way you can provide feedback is to participate in online surveys.

Resthaven Assisted Living Opened

In Old Lemon Grove School In 1955

By SUE ANN CARPENTER
Special To The Herald-Advocate
Resthaven Assisted Living was
the former Lemon Grove School.
Actually, it was the third and final
school to be built under that name.
Ron Lambert, owner of Buck-
horn Nursery in Wauchula, said the
first Lemon Grove School was
located where their present potting
barn is. "The road from Wauchula
to Avon Park ran through our prop-
erty. The second school was across
the road from Edna Mae Simmons'
home in an oak thicket near the pre-
sent Resthaven. And then in 1927
the third school was built at a cost
of $27,000. I know because when I
was in high school speech class, I
did all the research. In the debate I
was against spending so much
money," Lambert said.
In 1932 at Lemon Grove School,
Lambert started first grade, called
primer. with Miss Gebhardt from

Odel Phelps of Sebring.
"Lemon Grove School had a
lunch room which was headed by
Miss Miller of Zolfo. Lunch cost
five cents. People furnished hogs or
beef, and three people cooked the
meals. It was a half-mile walk or
wade for me when it was raining.
Over the weekends and on holi-
days, I walked back to the school
and fed the animals. That was my
responsibility and was worth five
cents, which got me a free meal,"
Lambert said.
Two classes were held together
in the same room: first and second,
third and fourth, fifth and sixth, and
seventh and eighth. If you were a
good listener and smart, you could
pick up enough to make the next
grade easier. If someone was slow,
Lambert remembers taking that
child under the oak tree where there
were benches.
"And I didn't bring him back

school to pick beans or peppers,
etc. before they froze.
"The teachers were good and
instilled discipline. If not, there was
a paddle or a belt. I was a good kid
and never got that, probably out of
fear from the trouble I'd be in at
home," Lambert said.
It wasn't all work, though. The
school was built from the best lum-
ber, and their movie projection
room was fire-proofed, although
the movies seen in eighth grade
were a little flickery. In addition,
there was a clay court for playing
boys' or girls' basketball. The clay
was brought in and spread by WPA
workers. "Basketball was a big
thing. Our principal, Mr. Sawen
was our coach. We beat everybody.
Course we had guys who had
beards or were even shaving.
They were so big and in ele-
mentary school," Lambert said.
He even remembers three sets of

Wauchula as the teacher. Through until he got the spelling or math twins who attended Lemon Grove:
his eight years of school there, he lesson if we had to practice all The Wilsons were older and went
.remembers the kids who still afternoon. That was tutoring," to the second school, but the
remain in the area out of the 12 he Lambert said. Schultz and Fennel twins went to
eventually graduated with: his good Lemon Grove was a strawberry the third school. The twins were all

Resident Virginia Richardson (left
Hamilton Eatman and then Mr.
Sawen were the principals and they
taught seventh and eighth grades..
Usually there were 20 to 25 kids to
a classroom.
Separately located,: but on' 'the
same grounds as 'le school was a
canning kitchen. Lambert's dad ran
it.

"It was a big operation. I had to
pump the water to cool the canning,
and sometimes it was 11 p.m.
before we got home at night.
Daddy got no pay, but received a
toll," Lambert said. For example,
for every 100 cans, he'd receive a
certain amount to keep that he
could sell or use for his own fami-
ly's consumption. All the people in
the community used that facility,"
Lambert said.
It was always a community effort
for whatever was needed at the
school. Gladys Coker started fund-
raisers. Money raised from regular-
ly held chicken suppers sometimes
amassed $75. Those fundraisers
purchased air conditioning, heaters
for the classrooms, desks, and even
books. At the chicken suppers kids
sang or put on plays and bands per-
formed. It was a feast of chicken
and dumplings or fish and swamp
cabbage for only 50 cents.
Alma Skipper, who ran a filing
station, was in charge of a 4-H Club
and drove a bus. Back then buses
were homemade: Farmers contract-
ed out their pickup truck after
putting some benches on it and
nailing tin around it. Alma Skipper'
drove the kids from Lemon Grove
into Wauchula to high school.
"She was the boss, and had a
habit of saying 'shuckins.' She was
in charge of getting those donated
chickens for our chicken supper
fundraisers. I was her helper, and
on Wednesday we'd go collect
them. At one old farmer's, Alma
said his chickens were so wild that
he probably thought she couldn't
catch them, but she came prepared
with a fishing rod with corn on the
hook. I caught three that she
hooked and put them in the bag,"
Lambert said.

School Closes, Facility Opens
Lemon Grove School along with
other rural schools closed in 1944
and was consolidated into three
larger schools to serve the area.
Lemon Grove remained closed
until 1955. After renovation, it re-
opened as the state-approved
Resthaven Assisted Living Facility.
Although the county owns and
maintains the building, it is sepa-
rately operated with non-profit sta-
tus.
Alberta Albritton served on
Resthaven's Board for 40 years.
She said, "There was a real need for
an assisted living center for people
who couldn't afford fancy prices.
The big classrooms were parti-

t) Administrator Michelle Crawle
tioned to make two bedrooms out
of each, and they maintained the.
high ceilings. It is spacious."
"Anyone who is completely self-
sufficient is eligible- for-Rest-
haven," said-present Board Chair-
man Mary Lois Crawley, who has
served since 2000. Other members
are Vice-Chair Sylvia Thornton,
Secretary B.J. Haney, Treasurer
Caroline Saunders, and Trustee Jim
Williams. They all meet once a
month to go over financial with
the accountant and discuss issues.
They are a steering board and do
not handle day-to-day manage-
ment.
Over Resthaven's 51 years, it has
modernized. Today employees not
only undergo drug testing, but they
and resident applicants must also
submit to a background check, to
be sure no one in the facility would
be detrimentally harmed.
;"After all, this is their home.
We provide activities, three meals a
day, and take care of their laundry.
We provide a homey atmosphere
and want to be sure the employees
who interact with them will be kind
and nice. We all want Resthaven to
be the way the residents would like
it to be, and to think of it as their
home," Mary Lois Crawley said.
Family and friends are encour-
aged to visit, not only for birthdays
when a cake is presented, but for
events like Easter when an egg hunt
is held outdoors. The Christmas
party on December 7 for family and
friends will have finger foods,
cake, punch and entertainment.
Every year they put up trees and
create a festive atmosphere with
Santa bringing candy cane gifts and
care packages.
On board for seven months as
manager, Michelle Crawley (dau-
ghter of Mary Lois Crqwley) had
originally worked for free, helping
to re-organize when the previous
manager left. At present there's a
capacity of 38 beds, with only 22
filled.
There is a beauty shop, a dining
room, chapel, and area for crafts,
bingo and singing. A total of 17

ey and caregiver Missy Barringer.
employees assist with bathing and
. cleaning. Nineteen women and
Three men presently reside at Rest-
-.haven.
"We encourage people to stop by
and pick. uip an application packet.
They' iust take it to a doctor for a
health certificate of physical 'and
mental condition. Although we
help them with their medications,
we cannot administer for diabetics.
They must be able to do those
things themselves.
Resthaven is great for people
who decide they need help and
can't live on their own," Michelle
Crawley said.
Semi-private rooms are $900 per
month and private rooms are
$1,800. For those who cannot
afford the entire amount, there is
government funding available.
Resthaven is unique because
people and churches in the commu-
nity donate monies to replace
linens, etc. At County Fair time,
people buy cattle and have it donat-
ed and sent to Resthaven. People
have given hospital beds and TVs.
Both the people donating and the
residents get something good out of
it, said Crawley.
"Some people have an image of
what nursing homes used to be like.
We encourage the whole family to
come out and walk around, visit the
residents and even have lunch.
That's when you can see their per-
spective change. There's no lock-
down here. We assist people with
living and ensure they get the right
medication and dosage at the right
time. They're assured of eating the
right foods, and they have cama-
raderie," Mary Lois Crawley said.
Resthaven's visiting hours are 8
a.m. to 8:30 p.m. with their dining
room serving lunch at 11:30 a.m.

information or to make a donation.

pages of The Florida Advocate,
the Hardee County Herald and
The Herald-Advocate of...

75 YEARS AGO
Peace River Bridge Application
Is Made: While nothing definite has
come from it as yet, the War
Department is expected to approve
the construction of a bridge over
Peace River a mile east of
Wauchula. The State Road Depart-
nent, at its meeting in September,
made an application to the War
Department for their approval, and
this is expected almost any time
now.
The bridge would be constructed
according to plans of the depart-
ment and would be on State Road
No. 32. Surveying of the road was
done some weeks ago and at the
September meeting of the State
Road Department a request was
presented to the department that a
convict crew be placed on the grad-
ing of State Road No. 32 in Hardee
County.

Local Pastor Returns From World
Meeting: Rev. Karl Koestline, pas-
tor of the local Methodist Church,
returned from Atlanta, Ga., Satur-
day after attending the world ecu-
menical Methodist conference. This
conference meets every 10 years; it
is the second time it has met in the
United States and the first time in
the South.
Over 100 speakers addressed the
conference during the 10-day ses-
sion. Among the outstanding speak-
ers were: President Herbert Hoover,
Vice-President Charles Curtis, John
R. Mott, New York; Miss Helen
Kim, Korea; Bishop Akazawa,
Japan; Dr. William Bird, England;
Rev. E.M. Rugg, India; R.L. Archer,
Sumatra; the Prime Minister of
Canada; and the presidents of
Columbia and Yale universities.

in the business of the Inter-County
Telephone & Telegrapl. Co. in
Wauchula is reported by W.H.
Harlan, local miiaager. Mr. Harlan
stated that several new telephones
have recently been installed in local
homes and business places.,
He says the outlook is very bright
for more business. The company
recently started an advertising cam-
paign here, and through this medi-
um has been pointing out the num-

'ber advantages of having a tele-
phone in the home or office.
Manager Harlan believes the adver-
tising campaign helped stimulate
business by telling local people of
the benefits.

50 YEARS AGO
Escaped Convict Captured Here:
A two-day chase of an escaped con-
vict in Hardee County last week
resulted in the capture of the man
and also in the accidental finding of
a 30-gallon moonshine still. Arthur
Solomon, was identified in Arcadia
about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday and a
radio call enlisted Dep. Grady
Tomlinson in the search.
Sheriff Lloyd Holton, of DeSoto
County, brought his bloodhounds
and a group of officers that trailed
the escaped convict near Bushy
Creek. Leland Wilkins called the
Sheriff's Office from Fort Green
and reported a strange man in his
pasture. Deputies apprehended him
after a three-mile chase, and discov-
ered the still in palmettos in the
Tom Platt pasture Wednesday along
the way.

Concert Series Tickets Selling:
Membership in the newly organized
Mutual Concert Association is
being taken quite briskly it was
announced by chairman, Mrs. W. L.
Howard. "We have tremendous
interest among adults and students
in having good live entertainment
in Wauchula this winter," she
reported.
Many folks have not been
approached yet, the committee dis-
covered, therefore the drive will be
continued for a few days longer.
Any persons who have not yet
bought their membership may con-
tact Mrs. Howard or headquarters at
Stansfield's. Three entertainments
are being planned for presentation
on the series in Wauchula.

Halloween Carnival Is Big
Success: The Halloween carnival
held Saturday night at the Wauchula
Elementary School was a big suc-
cess, financially and otherwise,
according to,'Mrs. T.C. Hornsby,
carnival chairman. Proceeds
amounted to $935.94, which will be
used for some worthwhile school
project.
The organization has expressed
its appreciation for the generosity
and cooperation of parents and mer-
chants. In the amateur contest held,.
Mrs. Farr's room was a winner with
a musical number and Mrs. Hart's
and Mrs. Curtis' rooms with a joint
musical program.
25 YEARS AGO
School Board Assesses Damages
Against High School Contractor:
The Hardee County School Board
assessed over $50,000 in liquidated
damages against the major contrac-
tor on the new high school project
despite his protests. The board
assessed $52,871 in damages

against Morrick Construction Co. at
the Oct. 30 meeting.
This recommendation came from
the project architectural-engineer-
ing firm of Watson & Co. Ron
Morrick, president of the construc-
tion company, said he would try to:
pass on most of the assessment to
his subcontractors, who were
blamed for most of the delay on the
project.

Captain Resigns From Wauchula
Police Dept.: A captain with
theWauchula Police Department
resigned this month because he says
he refused to play political games in
a non-political office. He had been
with the department for the past
nine years, but submitted his resig-
nation on Oct. 25.
It became effective on Tuesday of
this week. He intends to work in his
grove and catch up on work around
the house. "I don't like to be a stone
thrower," he said. "But I see so
many inequities I wonder who will
stand up." Reluctantly, he decided
to stand.

10 YEARS AGO
BG Man Pleads 'No Contest' To-
Manslaughter: One of the two men
accused in the brutal New Year's
Day 1995 stabbings of a pair of
farm workers has entered a change
of plea in Hardee Circuit Court. He.
has pleaded no contest to the
reduced charge of manslaughter
through his attorney.
The 22-year-old man had faced a
'first-degree murder charge along
with five other counts, one of
attempted first-degree murder and'
two each of armed kidnapping and
armed robbery. In exchange for the
new plea, the state has agreed to
drop the remaining charges. His
attorney told Circuit Judge J. David
Langford that the plea agreement
worked out with the prosecution
calls for five years of state prison
time.

Stabbing Victim OK, Suspect In
Jail: A 33-year-old Wauchula
woman has been accused of stab-
bing her boyfriend while trying to
break up with him. She was booked.
into the Hardee County Jail at 5:30'
Sunday morning on a charge of
domestic violence aggravated bat-
tery, a second-degree felony.
Bond has been set at $1,500 cash
or $5,000 surety. She is accused of
stabbing her 35-year-old boyfriend
at least five times as he physically
resisted her attempt to leave him.
He was listed in fair condition late
Monday at Tampa General Hos-
pital, a spokeswoman there said.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt.
Arnold Lanier said the alleged inci-
dent occurred at about 1:41 a.m.
Sunday at Leo Blue's Camp.

Education is like a double-edged
sword. It may be turned to dan-
gerous uses if it is not properly
handled.
