4-Laning

;U.S. 17 four-laning comes first;
tell roads come later.
:That was the corrected message
presented -to the Hardee County
commission at last week's meet-
ing.
SState Department of Transporta-
tion (DOT) District One Director
Ben Walker, Central Florida Re-
gional Planning Council Director
Pat Steed and count> planner Nick
Stasko combined efforts on a pre-
sentation on transportation and land
use planning for Hardee Counit
SThey immediately clarified that
the four-laning of US 17 from
Zolfo Springs to the DeSoto
County is not a forgotten project.
.Confusion on road issues provided
'misinformation, they said.
Actually, there are five key trans-
portation projects which involve
S Hardee County. They are interrelat-
S'd- but not -compettivme: Ftnding
and planning comes from different
.sources for main highways, new
statewide corridors, multi-modal

project superintendent for contrac-

Tuesday the detour at the south end

the end of next week and there will
be southbound through traffic to
Zolfo Springs. Then, there are
sope projects to widen turns for
truckers, and minor other details to
complete the project by Dec. 11,
said Haymans.
Walker said increased construc-

ing the rest of the way to DeSoto
County. It is now in two phases.
From Third Avenue to Zolfo
Springs to CR 634 (Sweetwater
Road) is now in a design phase.
The right-of-way phase and con-
struction phase are not funded
within the current five-year plan.
From CR 634 south to the
DeSoto County line, design is bud-
geted in the DOT fiscal year

Both these stages should be fund-

By CYNTHIA KRAHL
Of The Herald-Advocate
In an unusual election year
where four out of five Hardee
County School Board seats were up
for grabs, voters have opted not to
change a single slot.
Joe Jones, the last of the incum-
bents to face a challenger, emerged
victorious in the General Election
as final ballots were tabulated
Tuesday night. He beat newcomer
hopeful Paul Samuels by just 86
votes.
The tight race had swayed back
and forth all night as precinct totals
came in, with Jones managing and
maintaining a small percentage
lead. It.ended 51.02 to 48.98 per-
cent in his favor. He had won seven
of 12 precincts, and tied Samuels in
an eighth. He lost some ground to
the absentee vote, but gained back
five times more from early voters.
"I knew it was going to be close,"
Jones said standing outside the
Elections Office as results were
projected onto an exterior wall for
onlookers to view. "Paul did a lot of
politicking; he worked hard. It was
a close race. It was a clean race.
"I said I'd take one vote if it got
that .close," he added, gesturing
with a raised index finger. "I'm
really happy with the results!"
No other race was such a close
call locally, but it was a night for
squeakers throughout the state.
Hardee Countians picked Charlie
Crist for governor with 57 percent
of the vote. In all of Florida, how-
ever, his lead over Jim Davis was
slimmer at 52 percent.
Bill Nelson was a strong winner
statewide for U.S. Senate. Here, it
was 51.38 percent of the vote to
47.47 for Katherine Harris. The
other percentage points went to
four more candidates and a write-in
vote.
But Vern Buchanan won big in
Hardee, with nearly 61 percent to
Christine Jennings' 39. Statewide,

MUSICAL PREMIERES

the race remains close, with unoffi-
cial results at mid-morning
Wednesday showing Buchanan as
winner with just 50.1 percent.
Bill McCollum was another run-
away locally, for attorney' general.
In all of Florida, he mustered just
52.5 percent of totals to beat Walter
Campbell.
Alex Sink was not a Hardee
County favorite for chief financial
officer, losing by a wide 42 percent
to Tom Lee's 58 percent of local
vote totals. It was the reverse
statewide, but a fairly narrow win -

.

for Sink, who took the post with
53.5 percent.
Ag.Commissioner Charles Bron-
son overwhelmed his competition
here, with 71.23 percent of the vote
to Eric Copeland's 28.77. In the
state, that win was reduced to 57
percent.
So, with the lone exception of
Sink, Hardee voters chose the same
candidates as their statewide coun-
terparts.
That changed in the circuit race
for a new judge. Hardee County
opted for David Carmichael by 52
percent over Ernest Jones with 48.
This race was on the ballot in Polk
and Highlands counties as well,

SThe 9-1 Hardee Wildcats will host 6-4 Tampa Jesuit this Friday night
at Hardee Stadium in the opening round of the state playoffs.
Hardee has not beaten a Jesuit team in recent history, losing in football,
baseball and basketball.
Hardee head coach Derren Bryan looks for a tough battle but is hoping
the Wildcats can make some history with a win over the private Catholic
school. The Wildcats have had success in recent years in the football play-
offs with first round wins over schools from Tampa--Wesley Chapel and
Robinson.
I feel the Wildcats can win over Jesuit with a good game and hope the
Pope is not in attendance to give the Tigers a papal blessing.
If Hardee wins, the Wildcats next week will host the winner of the
Kathleen-Cocoa game in the second round.

The Democrats nationally had big success in Tuesday's elections, gain-
ing control of the U.S. House of Representatives. The race for control of the
U.S. Senate late Wednesday morning was tied at 49, with official results not
in from two states.
Joe Jones won a narrow re-election to Hardee School Board. Charlie
Crist should make a good new governor for Florida.

Bubbles on a state map show
possible toll road corridors. In a
meeting in Orlando on Nov. 30-
Dec. 1, feasibility and other issues
will be discussed, but no specific
corridors accepted or eliminated,
Walker and Steed said. There will
be discussion on traffic forecasts
and other feasibility factors.
Toll corridors are only in the con-
cept stage. It takes eight to 12 years
to build a new road (2-3 years for
planning and engineering, 2-3 for
design and permitting, 2-3 to obtain
right of way and 2-3 for construc-
tion. The nine statewide corridors
are not even in stage one of plan-
ning as yet.
The 130-mile Heartland Coast to
Coast east-west corridor from
Manatee County to Indian River on
the east coast. The 110-mile
Heartland Parkway, perhaps mid-
way between U.S. 17 and U.S. 27
will join southwest Florida to the
Polk Parkway and 1-4 to beltway
systems around Orlando and
Tampa. One of these beltways,
from Hernando County to Charlotte
County, will pass through western
Hardee County to enable traffic to
stay out of the Tampa Bay conges-
tion.
Multimodal Reuse Corridors
This is a plan of combined trans-
portation groups to reuse existing
highways, such as Interstates 10,
95, 75 and 4 as well as roads like
U.S. 27 to move traffic intrastate.
That plan is looking out 50 years.
Regional Visioning
This plan connects everyone
involved in transportation of any
kind, to consider corridor planning
with land use planning, environ-
mental investments, historic and
archaeological resources, safety and
financial considerations. Again, the
focus is on long-range planning.
EAR
This is part of the county's Com-
prehensive Land Use Plan which
has to be updated periodically. It
requires the county, Wauchula,
Bowling Green and Zolfo Springs
to work together on future land
development which affects every-
one in the Peace River Basin. The
focus is to minimize the impacts
and leave the environment in at
least as good shape as it is now
,while bringing in development.
"That's okay until you try to say
no to a development plan," said
Commissioner Dale Johnson.
"Property rights and access to roads
will be important," he added.

results show 50.3 percent for Jones
circuit-wide.
All six of the proposed amend-
ments to the state Constitution
passed statewide. They did in
Hardee County, too, with local vot-
ers especially favoring additional
tax breaks for low-income senior
citizens and for disabled veterans.
Elections Supervisor Jeff Ussery
calculated 41.35 percent of Hardee
County's registered voters turned
out to vote in this General Election.
"It was a good turnout, considering
the weather conditions," he said at
the close of Tuesday night's tabula-
tions.
He also noted that the turnout
reflected 1,218 in Early Voting
results, a new state program that is
still gaining in popularity here.
Ussery reported a smooth elec-
tion day.

CRIME BLOTTER
The Crime Blotter in the Oct.
26 issue inadvertently omitted
a pair of entries.
On Oct. 21, Jodi Kathleen
Oaks, 25, of 218 N. Florida
Ave., Wauchula, was arrested
by the Drug Task Force and
charged with possession of
marijuana and possession of
drug paraphernalia.
On Oct. 23, a 16-year-old
Wauchula youth was arrested
by Dep. Manuel Zuniga and
charged with retail theft.

"It went really well. When wet
visited all the precincts this.
(Tuesday) morning, everything was
going good. It felt like the calm
before the storm," Ussery said,
adding, "but the storm never mate-
realized."
There were some problems with:
phone lines, however, but Ussery
readily solved them. "We had sonie
uploading issues," he. described,
"but we just did direct uploads
when the.. clerks brought their
equipment in from the precincts."
Ussery concluded, "I'm excited
that as many people came out to /
vote as they did, and we are looking
forward to the next election."
Paul Samuels may be as well.. i
Joe Jones said Tuesday night that
.this will be his final term in office,
He plans to retire from the School
Board in, four years. He said1
Samuels made such a fine showing!
at the balloting box that he believes
Samuels will win the next time he
runs.
The two men congratulated each
other in the Elections Office park1
ing lot after final results were post
ed.
Said Jones of his victory, "I
appreciate everyone who voted for.,
me. I'm glad they had the confi-
dence to put me back in there again,
I will go out and do the very best I
can for the school system and for
all students."
Jones said a priority of his will
be a new school for Bowling
Green. "We're working on that right
now," he said. And his overall pri,
ority will be serving the School
Board well, he said.
Said Samuels after shaking
Jones' hand, "It was a great race, a
clean race, and I respect Joe for
that. I encourage him to discuss the
issues, to bring forth the issues in
the coming years. I '
"I support him," Samuels contin-
ued. "And I will continue to serve
the county." .
He thanked his supporters, anc,
on a final note added, "I'll be back
here in four years."

FDOT

passing lanes to be placed on those
highway segments are not in con-
flict and will not effect the four-lan-
ing. The passing lanes funding
comes from transportation regional
incentive monies, he added. Some
of the work could be advanced
through transportation incentive
funding. Donations on the right of
way would also lessen costs and
speed up the project, said Walker,
hoping commissioners could en-
courage donations of land for right
of way.
Commissioner Minor Bryant
said there was concern that once
the passing lanes are added, it will
slow the incentive for the four-lan-
ing project to be completed.
Walker said it costs up to $10 mil-
lion now for one mile of construc-
tion.
Commissioner Bobby Ray Smith
added his concern that a passing
lane would be like "throwing car-
rots" and won't accelerate the four-
lane project. Walker said DOT is
committed to the four-laning pro-
ject, especially since it is such a
high priority regionally.
"U.S. 17 four-laning has been
talked about since I was a boy. It's
time to get it done. It's an econom-
ic driver for Hardee County," said
Commissioner Gordon Norris.
Steed said U.S. 17 was one of the
few roadways identified on the
Strategic Intermodal System (SIS)
and that directs where the funding
will go. She said other counties
would love to be on the SIS pro-
gram and pointed out when passing
lanes were put on SR 60, there was
fear it wouldn't be four-laned, but it
did not slow down widening. "It
wasn't a tradeoff, it did happen,"
she said.
Toll Roads
Walker and Steed went on to talk
about new statewide corridors.
Three of the nine corridors around
the state will pass through Hardee
County, although it is unlikely any
of them will become a reality in the
next 25 years. Planning for these
corridors is a project of the Florida
Transportation Commission (FTC)
and its 2025 transportation plan.
DOT and CFRPC are among the
groups cooperating with FTC in its
planning to meet the future needs
of Florida's citizens which is
.expected to be third in the nation
with 26 million by 2030.

FROM
,. 1 THE _
SOWER'
iMichael A. Guido
Mener, Georia

An alcoholic was on his hands
and knees one night looking for
something under a street light.
"What are you looking for?"
asked a policeman.
"My wallet," said the man.
"Did you lose it here?" asked
the policeman.
"Nope," he answered. "I lost it in
the middle of the block. But
there's no light there."
Searching is important. But it's
useless, unless you search in the
right place.
Some have searched for life in
a pill or pleasure, and they haven't
found it. It's in a Person, and only
one Person-the Lord.
He said, "I have come that they
may have life, and have it to the
full." Have the Lord, and you'll
have life!

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 families 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 this "Old-Time" 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.
As always, we guarantee the finest care available at an affordable cost. You can rely upon
our reputation and my personal commitment to back it up.

CRASH CAUSES INJURY

Inside Out
By Chip Ballard

WRITE ON!
Several avid readers of The Herald-Advocate who sometimes glance at
my column, "Inside Out," have asked if I've quit writing.
"We miss your column," they said.
I thanked them, and I thank any of you, too, who might also have
missed my work but have not had the opportunity so say so.
To ask a writer if he has quit writing is equivalent of asking him if he
has quit breathing. A writer has to write. Even after reading several books
on the phenomenon, I don't claim to understand it, but my own life attests
to the truth of it.
Years ago I was privileged to be allowed into an elite writers' group
"that met at Manatee Community College in Bradenton. Members of that
group were all published authors, except me. But Dr. Susan, whose 500-
page doctorial thesis on James Joyce had earned her a Ph.D., led the group,
and she said she saw potential in a couple of short stories I asked her to
read, and she allowed me to attend the group meetings.
I think I learned more than anyone in the group, because I had much
more to learn than the others. They had passed me a long time ago. I had a
lot of catching up to do, and I worked hard to do it. I'm sure I didn't, but I
gave it a shot. In one six-week term I wrote nine short stories, two of which
were published. Those stories became the first in the collection that I've
come to call, "Flowing Wells: Stories." Many of the original stories have
been done away with, and new ones added. The collection, like a child, is
still growing and will, hopefully, one day reach maturity.
I wish I could locate the members in that group and find out how many
are still writing. I'd like to think they all are. I know one who isn't, but I
hope that condition isn't permanent. Mary, whose stories I loved, drove by
my house one day, saw me working in the yard and stopped to talk. She said
:she'd married, had a child, and had put the writing away. I believe she'll
take it up again one day. She was too good not to.
But as far as my having quit, the'truth is I've been writing more on a
'daily basis than I have in quite a while. This rewrite of my novel, "High
School Homicide" has sort of taken possession of me: I arise at 3 a.m. By
*the time I brush my teeth, wash my face and get my first cup of coffee in
-me, it's 3:30; and I write from then until 7, when I have to stop and get
Ready for work.
Last week I e-mailed an agent I'm hoping will take me on as a client (I
'have no guarantee, of course), and I told him how hard I was working and
'how proud I was of what I am producing. I admit I was halfway hoping he'd'
'reply with something like, "Wow! That is really great! I can't wait to see
* it! Please send it the moment you finish it! Wow!"
But his response was a tad more subdued. "Keep up the good work,"
'he said.
Within a couple of months I will finish this rewrite of "High School
Homicide." And as with previous rewrites, I'll think it's the best thing I've
-ever written. And maybe it will be. And I'll print it out, package it up, burst
-a bottle of champagne on it and send it to the man I hope becomes my
'agent.
If he accepts it, I will be ecstatic. If he returns it, I will be crushed. I'll
rant and rave and sulk and pout, and promise myself never to write anoth-
"er word. But after a while the pain of another rejection will begin to sub-
side, and I'll pound off a column or two to blow off some steam.
Eventually I'll come across another book on the craft of the novel, one
on characterization, one on dialogue. I'll start reading and before I know it
I'll find myself getting excited again, and I'll go back to the drawing board
with the absolute certainty that this rewrite will be the best thing I've ever
written.
And, maybe, it will be.

A Sunday evening collision put two women in the hospital, leaving one in critical condition. Janet Sweatt, 53, of Wauchula, was
traveling west on REA Road when, Florida Highway Patrol Tpr. J.K. Cloud alleges, she ran the red light at the intersection of U.S.
17. William Lawens, 62, of Sebring, and passenger Katherine Lawens, 59, also of Sebring, were traveling south on U.S. 17 when
their 2001 Chevrolet van collided with the front of Sweatt's 1994 Ford Ranger. The Ranger (shown above) was spun around and
Sweatt was ejected, with the truck coming to a stop in the outside lane of U.S. 17. The van (shown below) came to a rest on the
west shoulder of U.S. 17. Sweatt was taken to Tampa General with critical injuries and Katherine Lawens was taken to Florida
Hospital Wauchula with minor injuries, said Cloud in a report. Sweatt has been charged with violation of a traffic control device,
the trooper said.

Brutus Ends HHS Career

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
"His swimming reflects an out-
standing effort."
Coach Dick Daggett was obvi-
ously pleased with his senior cap-'
tain Casey Brutus, who dropped his
time by two seconds in the 100-
yard breaststroke at the state swim
meet in Fort Lauderdale Saturday.
Although Brutus finished 18th
overall, he was third among swim-
mers from public schools. "It's too

division," commented Daggett.
Brutus did beat swimmers from
Rickards, Suncoast, Lake Highland
Prep, Tampa Jesuit and Community
School, each of which finished
faster than the Brutus qualifying
time of 1:06.69. Brutus was just
nine hundredths of a second behind
Bolles private school senior Andy
Wilkinson who actually was slower
than his previous best time.
The final time for Brutus was
1:04.92, less than a second away
from the school record set in 1998
by Brett Daggett. "Brett called to
wish Casey good luck!"'said the
coach. "Though Casey didn't break

a record, he, his teammates and his
coaches are very pleased and excit,
ed about his performance in Fort
Lauderdale. He swam a great race,"
exclaimed Daggett.

Brutus only started swimming in
10th grade, with most of that sea-
son shortened by Hurricane
Charley. "His time dropped by 16
seconds from last year's Heartland
meet. Then he was swimming a
1:20 breaststroke time. In a sport
that takes months of training to
drop a half a second, this drop
reflects an outstanding effort on
Casey's part," concluded Daggett.:

'Cats Gouge Grenadiers; Tackle Tigers Tomorrow

IBy JOAN SEAMAN
"Of The Herald-Advocate
The Hardee Wildcats fashioned
'yet another come-from-behind win
:and prepare to open regional play-
'offs tomorrow (Friday).
. The 'Cats defeated the Colonial
'Grenadiers in Orlando on Friday
night. Now they turn their attention
;to the five-step trip to a state cham-
pionship..
It begins, with quarterfinal
regional action at Wildcat Stadium
.at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. Fans are
mindedd that regular season tick-
:ets do not apply to playoff games.
:Tickets for regional games are $7,
:set by the Florida High School
!Athletic Association rules. Tickets

for the semifinals and finals are $10
apiece.
Hardee will have its hands full
with the Tampa Jesuit Tigers, the
District 11 runner-up. Finishing the
season 6-4, Jesuit got to the playoff
through the back door. Sarasota
Booker had the district champi-
onship wrapped up but Jesuit,
Tampa Robinson and Palmetto
were locked in a three-way tie for
second place. Palmetto beat
Robinson and Jesuit then beat
Palmetto.
The Tigers are coming off their
seventh straight victory over
Tampa Catholic. Jesuit won 35-17
Friday night behind the running of
senior back Kevin Valenti, who had

34 carries for 168 yards and three
TDs. But receiver Erick McGriff
and alternate running back Michael
Peterson and senior quarterback
T.J. Parptore get in on the action,
too. Defensive back Matt Doone is
a standout.
"Jesuit is well-coached. They are
playing good football right now.
Their offensive line is good. They
don't make many mistakes. They
play a simple game and do it well.
It will be a tough game for us," said
Hardee head coach Derren Bryan.
Last year Hardee beat Robinson
31-13 in the regional quarterfinals.
This year, many of those Wildcats
are back and aching to extend their
season. The quarterfinal regional

winner will advance Nov. 17 to
face the winner of the Cocoa-
Kathleen game.
SHardee is also coming off a win
on Friday night. "It was a tough
game after.that big, emotional win
over DeSoto. It was a long trip, two
and a half hours, and the guys had
the opportunity to be flat. They
were playing for integrity and the
defense played very well, giving up
only a couple of runs. They ran the
option a bit unorthodox and we
made adjustments at halftime," said
Bryan as he named his players of
the week.
Offensively, Jayquan Gandy had
eight carries for 35 yards and one
TD. Defensively, the leaders were
Johnny Ray Harris with 11.5 tack-
les, five for loss, and a pass
breakup, and Ricky Wiggins, who
had 12.5 tackles.
On Special Teams, David New-
comb's blocked punt enabled
Daniel "D.J." Robinson to make a
recovery for a touchdown. On
Scout Teams, the entire JV offen-
sive line, which recently came up to
the varsity-practice squad, got the
nod for their work in preparing the
Hardee linemen.
The game began with Colonial.
getting the ball at the 20-yard line
after the Pablo Anselmo kickoff
went into the end zone for a touch-
back. Quarterback John Littlejohn
went to his favorite running back
Colson Marsh on the first play from
scrimmage and often during the
game. Cedric Griffin added a yard
and Omar Diaz a short gain. After a
pair of first downs, Colonial
stalled. The punt rolleddead at the
Wildcat 13.
Hardee went three and out and
the Grenadiers started over at their
38. After a short gain, Marsh broke
over left tackle and away from a
couple of Wildcat would-be tack-
lers and went 60 yards for the first
score of the game. The PAT sailed
wide, but Colonial had a 6-0 lead
with a little over 150 seconds left in
the first period.

quarterback Weston Palmer faked a
handoff and scampered through the
line for a six-yard TD. The
Anselmo boot put the 'Cats in front

Hardee's possession to start the
second half didn't go well. After

Holiday gatherings are approaching; we might need to spend some
time shining those silver serving pieces we use for special occasions. With
soft cloths and creamy polish, the smooth, circular, repetitious
polishing motions work a remarkable feat From the grayish-black
tarnish emerges the original warm, gleaming silver sheen. It looks
new again!
Silver that is regularly handled and used seldom needs polish;
silver that sits collects layers of tarnish from disuse. Perhaps our
faith in God behaves in much the same fashion. The more we use
it the brighter it shines. If we neglect it, our faith dims and it
takes more strength to renew it once more. "For God, who said,
"Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our
hearts...." (2 Corinthians 4:6)
Worship this week. Your faith need not dim. Polish it
with praise and prayer. It will shine like new. ]If

Attitudes On Ag
By Bill Hodge
Retired Farmer & Rancher

FLORIDA FARM BUREAU IS IN NEW HANDS
John Hoblick, a Volusia County fern producer, was elected president of
the Florida Farm Bureau Federation, the state's largest agricultural organi-
zation, based in Gainesville. He was elected at the Federation's 65th annu-
al meeting, which concluded Friday, Oct. 13 at the Hilton, Oceanside,
Daytona Beach. Hoblick, who will serve a two-year term, succeeds Carl B.
Loop Jr. of Jacksonville, who retired after 23 years as president.
Rick Roth, who farms in the Belle Glade area, was re-elected Vice
President. Michael Donner of Gadsden County was elected treasurer and
Mark Byrd of Orange County was elected secretary. New members elected
to the state board include Daniel Peterson Esq. of Volusia County, Steve
Johnson of Hardee County, and Brantly Schirard of St. Lucie County.
Michelle Williamson of Hillsborough County joined the board following
her election as vice-chair of the state Women's Leadership Committee.

JOHNSONS NAMED OUTSTANDING
YOUNG FARMER AND RANCHER
Steve and Andrea Johnson of Bowling Green drove away in a new
Dodge Ram quad truck, courtesy of Southern Farm Bureau Casualty
Insurance Co., as winners of the Florida Farm Bureau Federation's 2006
Outstanding Young Farmer and Rancher (YF&R) competition.
The Johnsons manage Johnson Groves and Farm Inc., which includes
cattle and citrus with all aspects of the business being handled internally.
They also own and operate Johnson Harvesting Inc., which is not only a
fruit brokering firm but also manages harvesting crews for their farms and
others.
The Outstanding YF&R competition rewards those involved in pro-
duction agriculture who exhibit leadership ability, involvement and partic-
ipation in Farm Bureau and other organizations (i.e., civic, service and
community).

FARM CITY WEEK IS NOV. 17-23
Local farm leaders are preparing for Farm-City Week 2006.
Agriculture is one of Florida's largest industries, an industry'not often
understood by Florida's growing urban population. Farm-City Week's pur-
pose is to promote a better understanding between farm and city residents.
This year's observance extends from Nov. 17 to 23. The Hardee County
Farm Bureau sponsors this important week of activities.
This is the 50th observance of Farm-City Week. A presidential procla-
mation and a joint congressional resolution have called for this observance
each year. If farm residents can understand urban growth, and city residents
can understand the concerns of agriculture, there will be a better chance of
the two working together to solve common problems, such as environmen-
tal and governmental issues.
This is also a time with Thanksgiving just ahead to give thanks to our
Creator for those who produce the food you are enjoying. Getting the food
from our farms to your table requires processing, packaging, marketing and
transportation. That creates jobs. About 27 percent of all jobs in the coun-
try are in the food industry. But it all starts with us the farmers and ranch-
ers and ends with you, the consumer. We need each other. Thank you for
being our customer.
As farms, we depend on the soil and water. We pledge to use these
resources wisely to continue producing the food and fiber you rely on and
to be good stewards of the land as God intended us to be.
Look for more information in next week's Herald-Advocate.

Don't Be 'Fasionably' Late!'

Hardee Drug Abuse Prevention Coalition

HARDEE COUNTY KIDS PICK ALCOHOL
Hardee County children just recently observed Red Ribbon Week at
their schools. It is an annual event to raise awareness and bolster prevention
of drug-abuse problems in the community.
Since I have been involved with prevention efforts both as a volunteer
and later as-a professional.I am still surprised at the lack of knowledge and .',
concern about these issues. In recognition of this annual effort, this article
will be dedicated to calling on every citizen to do his part to work toward"
the elimination of these problems in Hardee County.
Here are some facts that.we know: '
Alcohol is the No. I drug of choice among young people in Hardee, '
County and across the country.
Alcohol kills more kids than all illegal drugs combined.
The No. 1 place kids get their alcohol is from their home or that of a
friend.
Youth who abuse alcohol are four times more likely to be alcohol
dependent as adults. :
Our kids learn from the people and environment around them.
Many times adults (the over-40 crowd) will dismiss this as a "right of
passage," remembering their youthful alcohol consumption. Quite often the :.
differences between then and now are not considered or thought through
carefully.
Here are some things to consider before dismissing this as a no big
deal:
If you are over 40-years old, beer only came in.12 oz cans, the wide.
array of sweet-tasting alcoholic beverages was not an option, and happy
hour happened once a week for about an hour at the end of a day.
Today, a can of beer can be anything from 12 ounces to 64 ounces,
which brings up the question of exactly what is "just one" beer. Wine cool-
ers, hard lemonades and other alcohol-pop drinks are available in grocery..:
stores, restaurants, convenience stores, etc. And happy hours often start at
noon on any given day of the week, creating incentives to consume more. .
alcohol and altering our thinking abut time, place, amount and appropriate-'.
ness of consumption.
Today, young people drink to get hammered. They drink hard, fast and..
often.
So, what is a person to do? The responsibility lies with all business
leaders, community members and parents.
Alcoholism is a major health issue that affects every single person in
one way or another. If it has not touched your immediate or extended fami-
ly, it has affected someone you know. But if by some stroke of luck you find
yourself exempt from this category, it affects your pocketbook in your tax
dollars.
Policy changes to promote healthy living need to begin at the local
level. Do you, as an adult, have the will to do what needs to be done? You;;:.
- yes, you need to get off the couch and stop shaking your head and::
waiting for someone else to bring about change.
You can affect change at the local level, whether it is change in local:h.
policies and laws for your community, neighborhood acceptance, of the:->:
behavior, or the standards in your own home.

or used car, truck or SUV!"

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
The Crime Stoppers program is designed to protect the iden-
tity of the caller. WE DO NOT WANT YOUR NAME, JUST YOUR
INFORMATION. When you report a tip using the Crime
Stoppers toll free number, you will be assigned a special iden-
tifier code.
Once your information has been received, the Crime
Stoppers staff notifies the appropriate law enforcement
agency. If your information leads to an arrest or the recovery of
stolen property, you may become eligible for a cash reward.
The Crime Stoppers Board of Directors makes the final deci-
sion on the reward amount.
Because your anonymity is guaranteed, it is very important
for you to retain the assigned identifier code in order to be able
to collect the cash reward. You will be given instruction on how
to collect the money.

P PROCEDURES FOR CALLING IN A TIP description, or a license number. CRIME STOPPERS
To anonymously report information for an unsolved case call toll free is truly a community undertaking, with tthe flow of

code to find out if your information led to the arrest or the recovery of
stolen property.

WHCY DO WE NEED CRIME STOPPERS
CRIME STOPPERS is based on the principle "Someone other than the
criminal has information that can solve a crime."
CRIME STOPPERS was created to combat the three major problems
faced by Law Enforcement in generating that information:
Fear of REPRISAL
Reluctance to get INVOLVED.
An attitude of APATHY.
CRIME STOPPERS resolves these problems by offering anonymity to
people, who provide information about crimes. Paying rewards whent the
information supplied leads to a Felony arrest or a Felony Warrantissued.
Your information can help solve a crime. It could be something you've
seen, heard, or found. It may be a name, a physical

WHO BENEFITS
The Community Citizens are involved. Crimes are
solved. Stolen Property is recovered. Narcotics are
confiscated. Criminals are placed behind bars.

DISCLAIMER
As of Monday, November 6, the fugitives featured
in this section were assumed uncaptured as verified
by various law enforcement databases. Crime
Stoppers and The Herald-Advocate assumes no
responsibility for those featured who were not want-
ed by law enforcement at the time of publication.

My angel right there; staying here in my heart

daughter, not anything is going to keep us apart.
Peace be with you all, my wait from you is
your salvation call.
Love one another as I do you, with You, Lord,
is eternal life with Your unfailing love so true.
Joy may it fulfill your life forever.
In the coming last days we will all reunite together.
Guiding me with my paths through saying fear of not
of who for I am with You.
Thank You for Your lovely iNiame. .

At the core of our mission are the

one in particular resonates for me.
A patient nearing the end of her life

Tanor Durden, the 9-year-old son
of Todd and Tess Durden of
Wauchula, had that exciting experi-
ence on Sunday, when he helped
his team, the Heartland Regulators
defeat the Lakeland Golden Eagles
13-4 in the opener of a double-
header. The Hardee team lost the
nightcap 7-6.
Young Durden is among the boys
on a couple of Hardee baseball
teams playing on a traveling team
in the AAU Sunshine Athletes
competition colloquially known as
fall ball.
In his second time at bat in
Sunday's game, Durden caught a 2-
2 pitch just right and cleared the
fence at the George Heine Park's
north field. His parents and sister
Tori, 2, were on hand to share the
moment.

'am, 13-0: Showing a complete
reversal of form, the Wauchula
V&ldcats, went over to Palmetto last
Fgday afternoon and received their
ft football defeat in two years at
t hands of the Tigers. The
'uchulans were outplayed, out-
pAnted and out-excelled in every
department of the game.
St was apparent from the first that
t locals were not up to standard,
atd the two or three dozen loyal
fIps who accompanied the team
svdefeat coming on after the first
minutes of play. Wauchula's
fned"passing attack was smoth-
d by; the fast-charging Palmetto
ks, and the Wildcats completed
y five short aerials out of nine.

wich bears the date of 1782, which
ans it was coined just about 149

ai thinner than our dime, is about
tl ,size of a quarter. One side bears
ti4$ inscription. "Carolus III, Dei
Catia 1782." It is an old Spanish
dilar, its value today is unknown.
Sessions also has a U.S. penny
bpiring the date of 1858 and a dove,

I Way Back When I

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Both Hardee High soccer teams
started the season slowly and will
build up as the season progresses.
Hardee boys came out on the
short end of a pair of pre-season
games at Port Charlotte last week,
while the girls unenviably had to
face two of their hardest opponents
early.
At Port Charlotte, the Hardee
boys were the shorter squad in'both
outings. Against the Port Charlotte
Pirates on Tuesday, Hardee was an
five inches shorter. "That really
challenged them on headers where
we were at a distinct disadvantage,"
said coach Ron Kline.
"So we worked on getting the
rebound off the ball. Most headers
don't go from player to player.
They have to hit the ground aind
that's where we could get them 6n
the bounce. It was a learning.expe-
rience for the kids, playing against
a quality team like that," explained
Kline.
Hardee's only goal in the 5-1 loss
came when senior Jose Alonzo took
a close-in pass or rebound from
soph Francisco Rivera.
Port Charlotte was missing no
players from their year-round
squad coached off-season by the
coach's college-age son, while
Hardee still has a half dozen
returnees expected back.
On Thursday, against North
Port, Hardee suffered several key
injuries, which hopefully will be
healed as the district season begins
this week. AdatiJuarez was kicked
in the left calf and had to sit out 12-
13 minutes before being able to
return with a still-tender leg.
North Port had its only three
goals in the first half. The first
came 11 'minutes into the game,
when a shot'seemed to go wide, but
curved, hit the corner post and
bounced in.
At the 26 minute mark, North
Port scored on a breakaway when
Hardee didn't bottle the player in
the middle. The final tally came at
28 minutes when a long kick just
cleared the cross bar. The goalie
jumped for it but just couldn't reach
the eight-feet height of the top bar,
reported Kline.
Late in the first half, a five-man

collision in front of the goal result-
ed in a back injury to Hardee fresh-
man goalie David Rodriguez who
was helped by the Port Charlotte
trainer with icing and other relief.
Soph Efrain Ruiz moved to goalie
and did a good job, including
blocking a penalty kick, said Kline.
"The boys played a spirited sec-
ond half and allowed no scores.
They missed a couple of opportuni-
ties against the taller opponents.
Their coach said we broke up their
game plan by bottling them up,"
concluded Kline.
Hardee will have seniors Jose
Gutierrez and Francisco "Paco"
Lozano and junior Luis Reyes out
from cross country this week but
footballers Pablo Anselmo, Andrew
Cisneros, Carlos Ramirez and Jorge
,Lopez are still unavailable for soc-
cer.
SMeanwhile, Hardee girls lost
both games last week on the eight-
score run, ending a game whenever
an opposing team has an eight-goal
advantage.
On Tuesday, the girls traveled to
Frostproof to play the heralded
Bulldogs which were 3A-8 district
champions last year with a 19-2
record. Although the evening ended
early, Hardee was not discouraged.
Last year they lost early in the first
half. This year it was 4-0 at the half
and Hardee forced Frostproof well
into the second half before the
Bulldogs scored their eighth goal.
"We fought hard and did some
good things. Senior Christina
Badillo and freshman Kristina
Garcia split time at goalie and both
did well, holding them out for a
time." said coach Rob Beatty.
He was more concerned against
the 8-0 loss at Lake Placid on

Thursday in playing the "athletic,
better team" which took full advan-
tage of Hardee, even moving their
goalie to the middle to get her to
score, "disrespecting us and mak-
ing comments against our players.
It was very unprofessional of their
coach to allow that," said Beatty.
He noted good work of senior
Maggie Rodriguez, who started on
defense and moved .to offense
where she had several opportunities
to score which just missed. "Either
the girls were in the right place or
the ball was in the right place, but
they couldn't get them in the same
place," said Beatty, noting his girls
in from cross country, Ramona
Campos and Rodriguez. They and
Christina (Badillo) will give us
some good games," Beatty con-
cluded.
Hardee .girls play at Sebring and
Avon Park on Tuesday and Thurs-
day of this week at 6 p.m., with the
boys squads tangling at 7:30 in the
double-header events.
That pattern continues with
games next Tuesday and Thursday
at Braden River and DeSoto
respectively. The boys also play at
Winter Haven on Nov. 17 at 6:30
before both teams are off for the
school's fall break, Nov. 20-24.

Council Begins Process To Sell
Grove Valued At Over $50,000: The
Wauchula Council set the machin-
ery in motion this week that may
eventually lead to the sale of a city-
owned grove valued in excess of
$50,000. With a $70,000 offer in
mind, the council voted earlier this
month to sell the grove.
In order to sell any city-owned
property valued at $50,000 or more,
the council has to follow a proce-
dure outlined in the charter that
requires approval by the voters.
Monday night, the council took the
first step in the procedure by setting
up an appraisal committee, which
has to include the council chairman
(Marion Gill), the mayor (Ben
Carlton) and one member elected
by the council. Jerry Melendy was
elected to fill this.

Plenty Of Fair Entertainment
Scheduled For This Weekend:
There will be plenty of musical
entertainment at the 41st annual
Hardee QCounty Fair this weekend
with a' bluegrass festival on
Saturday and a gopel songfest on
Sunday. On Saturday, The Orange
Blossom Bluegrass band from
Tampa and the Rock Bottom Band
from Hardee will perform.
Sunday, the Agri-Civic Center
will be alive with the sound of
music as the Gospel Songfest gets
under way. The singers include:
Cindy Lambert, the Hardee Junior
and Senior High Choraliers, the
Simons Family, the Laymen's
Quartet and the Love Trio. Cindy
Lambert is the winner of this year's
Florida Farm Bureau state talent
contest.

10 YEARS AGO
General Election This Tuesday!:
Voters nationwide will head to the
polls on Tuesday to cast their bal-
lots in the general election. In
Hardee County, electors will be
asked to decide state and national
contests, state constitutional
amendments and for the first
time ever five county offices.
On the lengthy ballot are U.S.
president, representative for U.S.
Congress for the 12th District, state
representative for the House's 72nd
District, county clerk of courts,
sheriff, tax collector, county com-
missioner for District 5, School
Board District 2, several judicial
retention questions and six pro-
posed amendments to the state
Constitution.

Campaign Cards Cause Stir: Was
it illegal, inconsiderate or just poor-
ly planned? Is it a matter of princi-
pal or making a mountain out of a
molehill? A seemingly innocent bag
of information distributed at Crime
Watch meetings last week caused
an uproar among Wauchula offi-
cials and candidates.
At least one candidate has contra-
dicted police statements that offi-
cers were not aware campaign cards
had been included in the bag of
safety pamphlets, pencils and but-
tons.

Armed Robbery Suspect In Jail:
Last spring's violent armed robbery
of a Wauchula store has been
solved, city police say. Two men
robbed Kemen's Auto Parts at gun-
point May 24, bashing two cus-
tomers in the head and fleeing with
$2,100 in cash.
Wauchula police spokesman Lt.
William Beattie said the suspect
was arrested last week while in the
Highlands County Jail on unrelated,
charges, where he currently re-
mains. He has been charged with
armed robbery, a first-degree
felony, and two counts of aggravat-
ed battery, second degree felonies.

to the WSPs has to be pumped to five sprayfields on-site on an as needed basis. Solids cleaned from the waste
storage ponds and cooling pond paddocks are temporarily stored on surrounding land that drains back to the ponds.
The solids will either be taken by a commercial solids handling company or will be used by a third party for land
application at agronomic rates. All non-contact roof runoff is diverted away from the wastewater system. The
facility is located at Latitude: 270 35' 04" N, Longitude: 81 35' 47" W on 8798 Highway 64 East, Wauchula,

The Department will issue the permit with the attached conditions unless a timely petition for an
administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, within fourteen days of receipt
of notice. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below.

A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's proposed permitting decision may
petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The
petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of
General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida

filing a petition for an administrative hearing. The request must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of
General Counsel before the end of the time period for filing a petition for an administrative hearing.

Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), Florida
Statutes, must be filed within fourteen days of publication of the notice or within fourteen days of receipt of the
written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, however, any person who has

regardless of the date of publication.

The.petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of
filing. The failure of any person to, file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of notice shall constitute a waiver

Florida Statutes. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the
discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, Florida
Administrative Code.

(b) A statement of how and when each petitioner received notice of the Department action;
(c) A statement of how each petitioner's substantial interests are affected by the Department action;

(f) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, as well as the rules and statutes which entitle the
petitioner to relief; and
(g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action that the petitioner wants the
Department to take.

Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition
means that the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons
whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department have the right to petition to
become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
Mediation under Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, is not available for this proceeding. 11:9c

The Biography of Mrs. Lou Ethel Daniels Blevins
(A Woman with a Big Heart)
Mrs. Lou Ethel Daniels Blevins was born December 5, 1931, in Enterprise, Alabama, in
Coffee County to the late Mr. and Mrs. Louis Daniels. She is the second oldest child out of
15. As a young lady growing up she worked picking cotton and also worked at the cane and
peanut mill. She worked as a cook in restaurants also.
Later her family moved to Wauchula in 1943. After moving she picked oranges. Thenshe
became the mother of three daughters: Dorothy, Linda and Mary. She is the grandmother of
15 grandchildren and the great-grandmother of 13 great-grandchildren.
As her life went on she continued cooking. She cooked for 25 years in various homes,
such people as the late Mr. and Mrs. Bill Brown and the late Mr. and Mrs. Kent Bennett, all of
Wauchula.
As a member of the First Missionary Baptist Church of Wauchula located on Martin

for it. In 1993, she retired from G.R Wood Hospital in Arcadia. As her life moved on, .her ill-
ness did not stop her.

Safely Back From Iraq

By JIM KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate
About 159 members of the 651st
MP Company of the Army National
Guard unit based in Arcadia
returned home Monday, Oct. 30,
after being deployed in Iraq for a
year. During that time the unit did
not incur any fatalities or serious
injuries.
..Several of the guard members
were from Hardee County.
SThe homecoming welcome was
held at the Arcadia guard headquar-
ters. Three buses brought in the
i.bops who left Iraq Oct. 26 and
Were taken to Fort Stewart, Ga., for
several days before coming to
Arcadia.
'Army Sgt. Eric Peavy, .a 1996
graduate of Hardee High School,
was happy to see his wife Sophia
Herrera Peavy, a 2000'Hardee High
graduate and branch manager of

Riverside Bank in Lake Wales.
He did convoy security out of'
Campa Bucca in the Shite area of
southern Iraq. The camp was
named after Ron Bucca, a New
York City firefighter who died in
the World Trade Center Sept. 11,
2001. The camp is close to the city
of Basra.
Peavy was laid off as an electri-
cian at USS AgriChem prior to his
going to Iraq. He has two years of
enlistment left.
Sophia Peavy said the couple
was thankful for prayers and sup-
port during the past year. They
were married June 29, 2002.
Peavy has been in the Army
National Guard Reserve for 10
years. He spent six .months in
Miami for Operation Safe Harbor
after the 9-11-01 terrorist attack on
the World Trade Center in New
York City and the Pentagon in

Washington, D.C.
Sgt. Audie Grantham of Theatre
Road south of Bowling Green was
welcomed by his wife Joann, par-
ents Harvey and Evie Grantham,
and several friends. Grantham has
been in the National Guard for 18
years.
Many of the returning Guard
members will be on leave for 24
days to a month ard will not report
for drills again for 30 days.
Grantham worked in supplies in
southern Iraq. The supplies includ-
ed almost everything except food,
he said.
"Thank you for all your thoughts
and prayers. The family we left
behind had to pick up and go from
there. I have a lot of gratitude for
my family."
Grantham said the entire compa-
ny came back without a serious
injury or fatality

and streamers can be found, to match just about any kind of theme a child
ebuld want.
S Dixon opened Party Supplies because he got tired of having to go out
of town to buy things for his daughter's birthday parties, said Sharon
Dixon. He figured that he was not the only one who was having this trou-
Ble, and decided to open his own store, she added.
E: "Batman and Pirates of the Caribbean is very popular for boys,.and
Strawberry Shortcake and the Disney Princesses are in high demand for
girls," she said.
:- In addition to the birthday supplies, the store also offers a variety of
hand-made Wildcat merchandise, like sew-on patches and sweaters. Also,
there are a number of hand-crafted arts and crafts. Painted birdhouses and
Custom woodcuts can be purchased.

to accommodate any theme," Dixon said.

GAME OF THE WEEK
".' 'iar.i at Maryland

i-. ,

Illustration b Bruce Plante

erps turn the tables

alph Friedgen has shown, this season that lie is no flash in the
Rpa.
Friedgen, a Maryland graduate who won a national
championship as Georgia Tech's offensive coordinator in 1990
and later served as an assistant for the Chargers in 1994 when San
Diego advanced to its only Super Bowl, took thie head coaching
job at his ali1ma mater following the 2000 season. Inheriting a
program tlat adjust two winilng seasons since claiming a
conference championship in 1985, Friedgen was determined to
make teams along the Atlantic seaboard "Fear the Turtle."
One of Friedgen's first moves as head coach was to implement
early-morning conditioning sessions. Not only did the workouts
clear out a lot of dead weight, they also fostered it sense of family
that helped Maryland to a 10-2 season and ian ACC crown in
Friedgen's first season.
The Terrapins capped an 11 -3 season in 2002 by dismantling
Tennessee 30-3 in the Peach Bowl, and a 41-7 victory over West
Virginia in the Gator Bowl the following year made them the tirst
team in school history to string together three consecutive 10-win
seasons. Forced to rebuild, Maryland posted back-to-back 5-6
finishes in 2003 and 2004, and many started to question the mani
who was tile consensus national coach of the year in 2001.
Maryland Ilas re-emerged from the pack in 2006. and last
Saturday's 13-12 victory over Clemson lihas the Terrapins eyeing
an Atlantic Division championship. Needing victories over Boston
College and Wake Forest in his team's final two games to get to
Jacksonville, Friedgen hopes to keep the momentum going this
Saturday afternoon against Miami.
While Maryland is enjoying a revival, Miami has been ensured
of its first four-loss season since 1999 and could miss postseason
play for the first time since 1997. Head coacl Larry Coker is on
borrowed time, and a loss to tile Terrapins could force tie school
to make an immediate decision on his future.
I Records: Miami 5-4 (2-3 ACC Coastal); Maryland 7-2 (4-1
ACC Atlantic). Coaches: Miami's Larry Coker (58-13);
Maryland's Ralph Friedgen (48-22). 0 Series: Tied 7-7.
I Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday. I TV: ABC.
Key for Miami: Quarterback play. Kyle Wright was 14-of-
29 for 84 yards with two interceptions and was briefly replaced by

VETERANS DAY / VETERANS DISABILITY EXEMPTIONS
American men and women have served to acquire and preserve the
freedoms we experience today. With respect for and in recognition of the
contributions our service men and women have made to the cause of peace
and freedom, Congress has provided that Nov. 11 of each year shall be set
aside as a legal public holiday to honor veterans.
This Friday, the Hardee County Property Appraiser's Office will be
closed to pay tribute to those who have proudly served in our Armed
Forces.
With the open exemptions application period soon approaching (Jan. 1
through March 1), let me remind each of you of the Disability Veteran
exemptions available.
Any ex-service member, as defined in FS 196.012, who is a bona fide
resident of the state and disabled at least 10 percent in war or by service-
connected misfortune is entitled to a $5000 exemption. If filing for the first
time, the applicant will need to bring certification from Department of
Veterans Affairs.
Section 196.081 provides that property owners qualifying for the
homestead exemption on Jan. 1 who are veterans honorably discharged
with a service-connected total (100 percent) and permanent disability shall
be exempt from ad valorem taxation. If filing for the first time, certification
of the disability from the U.S. Veteran's Administration is required for this
exemption.
The benefit of this exemption can carry over to the unremarried veter-
an's spouse if, on the date of the disabled ex-service member's death, the-
spouse had been married to the deceased for at least five years.
Any questions pertaining to the exemptions can be made by contacting
our office at 773-2196.

Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who,
of themselves, are able to give purpose and direction to their lives.
-Rudolf Steiner

For The Herald-Advocate
Menibers of the local Sheriffs'
Explorers Post No. 400 attended
their quarterly delegates meeting
on Sept. 26.
The Flotida Sheriffs Explorers
Association is a collection of

enforcement professionals creates a
close relationship between the two.
Through this, the Sheriff's
Explorers maintain their image as
professionals, assisting the agen-
cies and receiving training from
them.
They are also .encouraged to.
work together and form more posts
across the state. Currently, there are
39 in the state of Florida.
Delegates meetings are held four
times each year, in March, June,
September and December. Each
meeting is held by an Explorer
post, and is held in their county:
This quarterly meeting was held
in Orange Park. It was hosted by
Clay County Sheriff's Office
Explorer Post 987. There were 20
other agencies represented.
Seven members of Post 400 from
Hardee County attended. They in-
clude: Robert Estes, Joey Rodri-
guez, Keri Douglas, Amado Rivera,
Dana Shoffner, Quinton Blundell
and Victoria DeAnda.
At the Delegates Meeting there
was also a training session consist-
Sing of a mock emergency situation
at the high school gym.
The scenario had the students
pretend to feel sick and dizzy.
Then, suddenly, there was an
explosion! This was simulated by
smoke coming out of the gym
doors.
All of the Explorers present were

assigned to participate as transport,
EMS, Fire-Rescue, Hazmat, EOC,
law enforcement or victims of the
incident.
Law enforcement and Fire-
Rescue arrived on the scene first to
clear.and secure the building, then
paramedics and EMS arrived to
tend to the victims who appeared to
have been injured.
Explorers Victoria DeAnda and
Dana Shoffner were assigned to
transport, while the rest of Post 400
played victims, that were lying
around on the gym floor with visi-
ble injuries and head trauma. This
was simulated with theatre makeup
and apply-on wounds.
"I feel that this was a rewarding
experience for our Explorers, and
that the training was very well
organized and handled very well by
the Explorer posts involved," said
Advisor Dep. Maria Hall.
"Every Explorer had an impor-
tant task that they participated in,
and each one jumped right in and
followed directions as they were
given," she said.

Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission

GIVE THANKS
November means it's time to gas up the truck and break out your shoot-
ing iron, the 2006-07 hunting season is here! This month, general gun, fall
turkey, quail and gray squirrel, snipe and the second phase of mourning and
white-winged dove seasons open.
The first thing you need to do is pick up a $12.50 Florida resident hunt-
ing license. Non-residents pay $46.50 for a 10-day license or $151.50 for
12 months.
If you plan to hunt one of Florida's many wildlife management areas
(WMAs), you'll also need a $26.50 management area permit. And don't
forget to study the brochure for the specific area you plan to hunt, because
dates, bag limits and rules differ greatly from area to area.
You can get these brochures at tax collectors' offices and regional
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) offices in close
proximity to the area, or you can download them from the FWC's Web site
at MyFWC.com/hunting.
You can buy your license and permits over the telephone by calling
toll-free 1-888-Hunt-Florida or online at MyFWC.com/license. Just have
your credit card ready. You also can purchase them from tax collectors'
offices and most retail outlets that sell hunting and fishing supplies.
The general gun season runs Nov. 1-Jan. 21 in the Central Hunting
Zone. In the Northwest Zone, it comes in Thanksgiving Day and lasts four
days until Nov. 26. Two weeks later, the season reopens Dec. 9 and runs
through Feb. 14. For readers hunting the South Hunting Zone, the general
gun season's already in and lasts until Jan. 7.
Hunters can take bucks having at least one antler five inches or longer.
On private lands, the daily bag limit for deer is two.
On private lands, hunters can take wild hogs year-round with no bag or
size limits. On most but not all public lands, there's also no bag or
size limit on wild hogs, and hunters can take them during any hunting sea-,
son except spring turkey. Check the WMA brochure to be certain.
SThe highly anticipated antlerless deer season, ofteq called "doe week"
is Dec. 16-22 in the Northwest Zone, Nov. 18-24 in the Central Zone and:
Nov. 4-10 in the South Hunting Zone.
During doe week, the daily bag limit's one buck and one doe or two
bucks. You may not take two does in one day like you may during archery
,season, and spotted fawns are not legal game. Doe week does not apply on
WMAs.
If you hunt with deer dogs anywhere in Florida, special rules and reg-
istration requirements may apply. Call the FWC for details.
Fall turkey season in the Northwest Hunting Zone is Nov. 23-26 and
Dec. 9-Jan. 14. In the Central andSouth zones, it's Nov. 11-Jan. 7. Only
bearded turkeys or gobblers are legal game, and you must have a $5 turkey
permit to hunt them. The bag limit's one bird per day, and a total of two dur-
ing the archery, crossbow, muzzleloading gun and fall turkey seasons com-
bined.
It's also against the law to hunt turkeys in Holmes County during the
fall season.
Quail and gray squirrel season runs statewide Nov. 11-March 4.
There's a daily bag limit of 12 for each, and shooting fox squirrels is against
the law.
Shooting hours for deer, turkeys, quail and gray squirrels is a half-hour
before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. All legal firearms, muzzleloaders,
bows, crossbows and handguns are legal for taking these resident game
animals during the generalgun, anilerless.deer, fall turkey and quail and
S Ygrayhsquirrel seasons.
Snipe hunting in Florida ranks second in the.nation in number of birds
harvested each year, and the season runs Nov. 1-Feb. 15 statewide. The sec--
ond phase of the mourning and white-winged dove season also comes in
this month and runs Nov. 11-26. Shooting hours for migratory birds are,
one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The bag limits are eight for snipe and
.12 for doves.
You'must get'a no-cost inigratory bird permit if you plan to hunt snipe,
doves or any other migratory game birds.
For up-to-date information on Florida's public dove fields, call the
FWC's Dove Hunters' Hotline at (850) 875-Bird. The hotline gets updated
every Thursday throughout the dove season. Information includes dove den-
sities, previous week's harvests and field conditions.
Whether small-game hunting with friends and family or hunting solo,
going after that monster buck, boar hog or big tom, November brings loads
of great hunting opportunities.
Here's wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving and a successful hunting
season.
Tony Young is a media relations coordinator for the FWC's Division of
Hunting and Game Management. You can reach him with questions about
hunting at Tony. Young@FWC.com.

DIABETES HELP AVAILABLE HERE
Diabetes is a serious disease that affects the body's ability to produce
or respond properly to insulin, a hormone that allows blood glucose (sugar)
to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy.
Nearly 21 million children and adults in the United States have dia-
betes. It is the fifth deadliest disease in the nation, and it has no cure.
Before people develop Type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "pre-
diabetes" blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet
high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. There are 54 million people in the
United States who have pre-diabetes.
Recent research has shown that some long-term damage to the body,
especially the heart and circulatory system, may already be occurring dur-
ing pre-diabetes. Research has also shown that if you take action to manage
your blood glucose when you have pre-diabetes, you can delay or prevent
Type 2 diabetes from ever developing.
Just 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity, coupled with a five
tolO percent reduction in body weight, produced a 58 percent reduction in
diabetes.
Every November, the American Diabetes Association encourages the
public to learn more about diabetes and the risks associated with the dis-
ease. Below are some ways you can become involved in this year's
American Diabetes Month.
To find out if you have diabetes or are at risk for the disease, you can
take the Diabetes Oral Risk Assessmerit on-line at www.diabetes.org or
contact the Hardee County Health Department to schedule an appointment
to take the Diabetes Oral Risk Assessment at any time.
It's essential for people with diabetes to take care of themselves. To
help you.take the first steps toward better diabetes care, the Hardee County
Health Department offers a Diabetes Prevention and Control Self-Manage-
ment Education course in Spanish and English for individuals who are pre-
diabetic, have been diagnosed with the disease and their family mem-
bers/caregivers. These classes are at no cost and teach the importance of
good eating habits, exercise and monitoring of your diabetes.
If you are interested in the Diabetes Control program, contact Sophy
Alvarez, program assistant, at 773-4161, ext. 157.

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Subdivisions platted a century
Sago do not meet building require-
ments.
"There are literally hundreds of
these in the county. Most of them:
are undevelopable. You can proba-
bly find discrepancies throughout
the county."
That was the gist of an hour's
discussion at the Hardee County
Commission meeting last week,
causing County Manager Lex Al-
britton and commissioners to warn
residents and realtors alike of the
problems of trying to build a home
on insufficient property.
The issues are access and enough
land to meet the Comprehensive
Land Use codes and zoning codes.
In land zoned A-1, the property has
to be a minimum of five acres. In
,most of these old platted subdivi-.
sions, the lots are divided by streets
or alleyways which reduce the
actual lot size to less than the
required five-acre lots.
The situation discussed Thursday
pitted landowners in the Town of
Fort Green Subdivision platted in.
the 1920s against each other. Blake
Albritton, Betty Waters and Kara
Goodwyn wanted to close half of
the east-west Magnolia and Laurel,
streets. Donald Samuels and Mark
Hogenauer want to close the west
half of Laurel but their petition was
not advertised in time enough for
Thursday's meeting.
All five people approached the
commission desks to show where
their properties were located and
spoke back and forth with each
other about access, which is limited..
because alternate routes Messick
Street and Oak Avenue are unuse-
able most of the year because of
huge trees and lowlying land which
floods.
Albritton has 4.26 acres and
needs at least five acres to build a
home. Closing Magnolia and a por-
tion of Laurel would enable him to
build. Samuels counters that he had
to put in three culverts and cut
gates in his fencing to access his
property and Albritton, Goodwyn
and Waters could do the same on
the other t\xo roads, Messick and
Oak. Whether that could be dbne
because ,of flooding :and trees was
questionable.
This type of problem could arise
many times, said'County Manager
Lex Albritton. Not all neighbors
can agree on which alleyways and
streets to close to make their prop-
erties large enough to develop.
Commissioners tried desperately
to resolve the issue. Commissioner
Minor Bryant asked about waiving
the five-acre requirement. County
attorney Ken Evers said that could-.
n't be done under the Comprehen-
sive Plan requirements. "These
platted areas don't leave a whole lot
of discretion," he said.
Commissioner Dale Johnson
suggested it was a matter of the
amount of money each would have
to spend for an alternate access for
residents, fire-rescue and others in
case the only access is blocked by'
construction, an accident or other'
incident.
Blake Albritton said that wasn't
his point, he just wanted enough
land to build on the property he had
purchased thinking it was adequate.
Commissioner Bobby Ray Smith
said the commission would need
time to find a way to get this done
and would continue the review to
Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. when both peti-
tions could be heard.
Commissioner Gordon Norris
asked for a single person to give
out information on platting and
property possibilities to avoid con-
fusion and misunderstandings in
the future. The county manager
said Nick Stasko, the new planning
director, would take that responsi-
bility. The county does not main-
tain any of these alleyways or
streets in these old platted subdivi-

sions, added Albritton, noting that
most of them are not capable of
meeting the requirements to be a
county-maintained road.

In other action, the commission:
selected Smith as chairman
and Bryant as vice-chairman of the
commission for the next year.
The commission agreed to keep
the same committee assignments as
last year. Bryant is local transporta-
tion and legislative liaison, a direc-
tor in the Small County Coalition,
and representative to Central
Florida Regional Planning Council,
Southwest Florida Water Manage-
ment District and the Heartland
Water Alliance.
Smith is the mining and agricul-
ture liaison, member of the Florida,
Heartland Rural Economic Devel-
opment Initiative (FHREDI), repre-
sentative on the Airport Task Force
and Heart of Florida Community
Alliance and alternate to
SWFWMD.
Norris is liaison to the Industrial
Development Authority, Transpor-
tation Disadvantaged, Heartland
Library Cooperative, Early Coali-
tion of Florida's Heartland, and
alternate to Small County Coali-
tion, Airport Task Force and the
Tampa Bay Partnership.
Commissioner Dale Johnson is
liaison to the Public Safety &
Municipal cooperative committees,
Heartland Workforce Investment
Board, Community Traffic Safety
Team, Drug Abuse Prevention
Coalition and Teen Pregnancy
Prevention program.
Outgoing Commission Chairman
Nick Timmerman is budget and
finance liaison, and representative
to the Health Care Task Force,
Rural Health Network, Community
Recreation Complex, Housing
Authority and Tampa Bay
Partnership.
approved budget amend-
ments for the 2006-07.fiscal year
which began Oct. 1. One is because
the final property tax valuation
came out 1.06 percent less than
estimated. The $140,000 loss of ad
valorem revenue will be deducted
from the contingency monies of
each department proportionately.
Another issue was the consoli-
dated public works orders for hurri-
cane repairs still being negotiated
with the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency (FEMA) at about
$3.6 million. The bid for the road
and culvert repairs is up for review
at the Nov. 16 commission meet-
ing.
Another item was the five-year
lease/purchase of an 800 MHz
radio system for the Fire Rescue
Department, which, was renegotiat-
ed to 4.06 percent. "I'm concerned
about borrowing without paying
back. I want us to get to the place
where we're on a pay-as-you-go
basis," said Bryant.
approved minor subdivision
plats for the 23-acre New Zion
Scrub subdivision off SR 64 West
near Charley Bryan Road and the
1.89-acre Cobb Industrial Park
Phase 2 on the west side of U.S. 17
just north of the SR 62 intersection.
approved waiver of all but
$250 of a $32,250 code enforce-
ment lien of 1998. The property
problem apparently was resolved in
1998 and inadvertently not closed
out. The new owners requested the
lien be cleared when the discrepan-
cy was discovered.
approved the request of
Sheriff J. Loran Cogburn to retain
the $84,165 just received for the
August revenue for renting inmate
beds for federal prisoners. Cogburn
said the $300,000 purchase of soft-
ware in 2005-06 was based on
anticipation of the year's revenue.
He still has not received the esti-
mated $75,000 revenue for
September and will also ask to keep
those monies.

Rise & Shine
By Ted Simonson

ARE YOU SHOCKED?
The other day I heard a Christian express shock over all the school
shootings lately. He seemed convinced that mankind was descending to a
new low.
I deplore the shootings and the genocide in the Sudan as well. But I
can't understand "shock" as a reaction. Not if you take the time to read the
first chapter of Romans in the New Testament.
Written 2,000 years ago, it is as up-to-date as today's paper:
"They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed
and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They
are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful. They
invent ways of doing evil, they disobey parents, they are senseless, faithless,
heartless, ruthless." (Romans 1:29-31)
It goes on. Read it for yourself. The Bible is a big magnifying glass that
reveals, among other things, that mankind is essentially evil.
Some make excuses. If only we had a bigger and more generous gov-
ernment, a massive anti-poverty program, more prisons. But nothing seems
to improve the dismal picture.
The Garden of Eden story is dismissed as a fable, yet you can see the
results of Adam's sin any day, in any courtroom in any country in the world.
The sentimentalists clings to high opinions of humankind because he
wants to believe the very best of himself. But once a crack in his wall of
rationalization and good feelings occurs, the truth streams in like a ray of
light. Ana the words of Jesus suddenly make sense. "Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
If human beings are essentially good, Jesus went to the cross for noth-
ing!

,Playoff time is upon us! Did you see that West Coast sports analysts
have predicted Hardee will win Friday night's quarterfinal playoff game
against Tampa Jesuit. The odds are for a 27-24 Hardee win. True, 6-4 Jesuit
comes off a win over Tampa Catholic, but it has beaten that team in the past
seven years. Overall, the Tigers got into the playoffs only by beating
Palmetto after it beat Tampa Robinson in a three-way playoff for the
District 11 runner-up.
So, the 'Cats could be in the driver's seat with its district champi-
onship, 9-1 overall record. Fans, remember that regional game tickets are
$7. The Florida High School Athletic Association sets ticket prices for the
playoffs. Tickets for the finals in Miami are $10 each.
Congratulations to senior swimmer Casey Brutus, who cut two seconds
from his best time and almost broke the Hardee High school record in the
200 breaststroke in the state meet in Fort Lauderdale. It's a really neat way
to end a high school career in the sport.
Wildcat cross country runners literally limped out in the regional meet
Friday as cramps slowed the Gutierrez brothers Jose and Gilberto after a
tremendous start. Arnold Louis was one of few runners to cut his time from
the district to regional meet.
Hardee soccer squads started an uphill climb last week. The boys, still
lacking some, football players, came out on the short end of the height bat-
tle and the scores in losses at the Port Charlotte tournament. Hardee girls
opened against 2005-06 district winner Frostproof but carried the game into
the second half before succumbing. They also lost to a more athletic and
experienced Lake Placid squad.
Now both teams embark on a series of district double-header encoun-
ters, with the girls playing at 6 p.m. and the boys about 7:30.
Girls hoops started earlier this week in the Tip-Off Tournament at
Sebring. Hardee was to play Frostproof on Tuesday and today (Thursday)
it will be LaBelle. The regular season begins next week with a Tuesday
home game against Palmetto.
Boys hoops start next week with a pair of pre-season games at
Charlotte. Coach Vance Dickey will have a mixed team until all the foot-
ball boys are out and the varsity and JV are divided for the rest of the sea-
son. Look for Arnold Louis and Mark St. Fort to be the big guns underneath
the hoop for the 'Cats.
Speaking of basketball, news from the Central Missouri Mules is good.
Bowling Green's Theo Jones was granted an extra year of eligibility and it
paid off in a pre-season game against the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman,
Okla. As the first half was running down, Jones launched a 25-footer which
hit the rim, bounced high off the backboard and fell in to give his team a
four-point halftime lead. He finished the night with a team-high 18 points
in the 74-69 loss to the Big 12 team. The criminology major 'carries a 3.23
grade point average.
Several Hardee Countians competed in the Orange Blossom Pregnancy
Center "Golf Fore Life," Tournament in Avon Park. The net proceeds of
$4,987 will be used for prenatal educational resources, parenting tapes and
other equipment for both the Avon Park and Wauchula centers.
From Hardee County, players included Jack Clark, Alan Autry, Jim
Davis, Lou. Liotta, Jimbo Williams, Donnie Autry, Judye Mercer, Wesley
Mercer, Paul Roberts, Ian Trott, Kim Autry, and teens Justin Painter, Will
and Ben Krause and dad Bobby Krause. Hardee businesses supported the
tournament and sponsored the golfers. Great job, all!

Girls weightlifting and the junior high hoop teams will get started in a
couple of weeks, after the fall break Nov. 20-24.
For those rodeo-minded, there are frequent opportunities at the Reality.
Ranch rodeos. There is another on Friday, beginning at 7 p.m., featuring
cowboys and cowgirls up to age 17 in seven different events. For more
information, call Randy Johnson at 735-8600.
A pair of Hardee County teams are playing fall ball in the AAU com-
petition. In one of the games recently, 9-year-old Tanor Durden hit his first
career home run. Hardee's 9-10 team won that game. The Hardee teams are
on the road weekends playing around the state. This only bodes good when
spring ball starts.
Information from community and school athletic events is always welcome.

Stump The Swami
By John Szeligo

Well, Football Fans, it is November. This is the month championships
are won as stated previously. Louisville took advantage of a gift from West
Virginia on the most watched Thursday Night ESPN game in history. The
Mountaineers put up 540 total yards but fumbles and a special team break-
down on a punt return handed the Cardinals their biggest win in U of L his-
tory. Louisville will face unbeaten Rutgers on ESPN today (Thursday).
The Big East race is far from over as the top teams now face each other
over the next three weeks. Interestingly enough, the Big East has emerged
as a power conference in 2006. Ohio State managed to beat Illinois 17-10
this weekend. The Illini under Ron Zook never crossed the 50-yard line in
a 33-0 loss to Rutgers. Louisville could runthe table and play for the
National Championship if it can avoid an upset at Rutgers. West Virginia
should close out at 11-1 and secure a second BCS spot.
The USF Bulls are going to their second bowl in as many years. The
win over Pitt clinched the bowl-eligible status catagory.The Bulls need win
number seven over Syracuse at home before taking on Louisville and West
Virginia to finish the regular season. Both of those games are on the road
and the Bulls will be heavy underdogs in both. A possible bowl game for
USF is the new Toronto Bowl in Canada. Stay tuned.
The ACC race is getting funnier every week. Wake Forest or Maryland
for the Championship? Miami losing to VPI with a crowd of 41,504 in the
Orange Bowl and FSU not yet bowl eligible must make Commissioner
Swafford proud. Does this conference really deserve an automatic BCS
game over CUSA or the Mountain West Conference?
The SEC should see Florida and Arkansas in the SEC Championship
Game in Atlanta. The Gators have posted not-so-impressive wins over
Georgia and Vanderbilt recently but should have no trouble with South
Carolina, Western Carolina and FSU to finish the season at 11-1. They are
Ranked sixth this week. The Gators and the Hogs would be a nice matchup
, in Atlanta.
Conference-USA is heading into a showdown too. Marshall will face
East Carolina for the CUSA East top spot this weekend.Ahmad Bradshaw
reached the 1,000-yard rushing mark in the Herd's win over Tulane. He
went into the game ranked eighth in rushing nationally.
Ohio State and Michigan rated first and second in the nation? The Big
10 is a weak conference that feeds on the Mid-American Conference to pad
its overall records. Consider Ohio State beating Illinois 17-10 this week.
Rutgers beat Illinois 33-0 and the Illini never crossed mid-field in the game
against the Scarlet Knights. Michigan has wins over a pathetic Ball State
team by eight points and a 27-24 win over Vanderbilt at home.Louisville,
Rutgers or West Virginia would win the Big 10 going away. It would be a
tragedy to see either OSU or Michigan play for the National Champion-
ship. There are so many more deserving teams in college football. A
Division One playoff system is long overdue.

Now let's look at this week's Bill O' Fare:
1. South Carolina at Florida Gators shake off two lackluster games
and destroy Spurrier's boys in the Swamp.UF 38 USC 13.
i 2. Cincinnati at West Virginia Mountaineers come back with a
vengeance. WVU 56 UC 7.
3. Marshall at East Carolina Thundering Herd makes a statement as I
They take a huge step toward the CUSA Championship. ECU will make it a
great game to watch. Marshall 33 ECU 30.
S4. Syracuse at USF Bulls get that 7th win and look ahead to facing
Louisville and West Virginia. Toronto or Birmingham is in their bowl
future. USF 23 Syracuse 10.
5. UCF at Memphis Knights get a needed win over the Tigers, UCF:
.27 Memphis 24.

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

Cursed is he, who dishonors his father or his mother All the
people shall say, Amen.
Deuteronomy 27:16
Another Scripture Deut. 5:16 also says Honor your father and
your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be
prolonged and that is may go well with you;in the land which the Lord your
God gives you.
Another Ephesians 6:1-3 says Children, obey your parents in the
Lord for this is just and right. Honor (esteem and value as precious) your
father and your mother this is the first commandment with a promise.
That all may be well with you and that you may live lortg on the earth.
This is the first commandment that God gave us. No wonder the enemy
does not want the commandments displayed anywhere! Also, see why we
have so much rebellion in our country. Our children are not being taught to
obey and I do not mean to abuse. That is not God's way. God'never abuses
Sus and He is our example.
When we get rebellious and out from under God's covering, then we
reap what we sow which 'brings is back to God and His covering. If we
don't teach our children what is right or wrong then they are going to die
young and not be blessed in their lives. Parents, take heed, be obedient to
God's word and train up your children in the way they should go and they
will not depart from it or if they do, they will turn back.
A Golden Nugget would be to not let the world train out children, but
we are to train them in the ways of the Lord.

Light One Candle '
By Dennis Heaney .
President Of The Christophers .

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
The late famous baseball player Satchel Paige was quoted ap: asking,
"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?' ,
That's a very interesting question for each of us as we get older. Too
often, the simple fact of getting older causes some people to put the brakes
on living.
I had neighbors who, all of their lives, loved to travel. Money wasn't an'
issue for them, so they visited exotic places and would regale us with their
adventures. However,, as they got older, despite being in excellent health.
they traveled less and less until they only went to very nearby restaurants
and grocery stores.
When asked why they stopped doing what they obviously loved, the
husband said, "We're getting older and figured that we should quit the gal-
livanting."
Their money didn't run out, their health was good and there were a lot
of places as close as neighboring states to visit,'but they decided, only
because of their years, to quit. Sadly, they would comment over and over
how much they missed the trips.
On the other hand, in the same apartment building, another neighbor, a
70-something widow ("God knows how old I am and He says it's our
secret!") never stopped traveling, helping neighbors, volunteering at her
church and just enjoying life. She would tell anyone who asked that life was
a gift from God to be enjoyed.
Age need not be a reason or, worse, an excuse for us to slow down or
stop. If our health is good, then we should continue creative work and an
active lifestyle.
The experience gained through our years can be a resource for us to
share with others always remembering to "share" and not impose -
through volunteering, mentoring, tutoring or a myriad of'other activities.
Regardless of age, there's so much we can enjoy. And contribute. God
has given us the gift of life, and we can thank Him every day by using that
gift to make this a better world.

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee basketball hits the court
on Tuesday.
Although the pigskin is still
being tossed around, round ball is
gearing up.
Hardee hoops starts next week
with an abbreviated cast pending
the arrival of football players when
their extended season is over.
Hardee head coach Vance
Dickey, along with assistants
Jonathan Pipkin-Smith and Travis
Bone, will take the Wildcat squad
to a pair of games in the Charlotte
Pre-Season Classic next week. On
Tuesday, they face Class 5Apower-
house Charlotte. On Thursday, it
will be Class 6A Sarasota.
*That's just the beginning of one
of the toughest schedules the
Wildcats have faced. It will lead up
to the district playoffs Feb. 5-10
which the Wildcats will host.
Dickey has fashioned a schedule
with a lot of extras this year. Beside
the pre-season challenge, there are
a Christmas tournament and a trip
to the Lakeland Center tourney in
early January.
"If the team responds in this
tough schedule, the chances are
they'll be good by the end of the
season and as good as they can be
for the playoffs. We may not go 25-
0, but I'd rather have a losing
record and go deeper in the play-
offs," said Dickey.
He emphasized that whenever
football is over, there will .be try-
outs for ninth through twelfth
graders. Then the varsity and junior
varsity teams will be reset and.
"then we can down to business."
Right now, Dickey has a mix of
experience and newcomers on his
team. Junior stalwarts Mark St.
Fort and Arnold Louis played AAU
summer ball, "which kept them
playing and gave them some good
experience," said Dickey.
Juniors Alex Flores and Josh
Jackson, who came up from the JV
late last year, were able to attend
the Eckerd Camp over the summer
and will be much more ready to
play, said Dickey.
Others on the squad are juniors
Javier Felix and Pete Solis, sophs
Lucas Juarez and Ladarius. Pace
and freshmen Ryan Blair, Nathan
Tomlinson and Charles Allen.
Dickey said he scheduled the
Charlotte tournament because "I
wanted to get Arnold and Mark as
well as Josh andAlex into immedi-
ate challenges."
Th6-Big Blueiti'liday Tourna-
ment Dec. 28-30 will see Hardee in
the mix with some powerful teams,
such as Winter Haven, Auburndale,
George Jenkins, a Pensacola team
and other up-caliber teams.
On Saturday, Jan. 6, the varsity
'Cats will be in action at the
Lakeland Center Classic hosted by
Kathleen. Not all the teams for the
tournament have been committed
as yet.
In addition, season games twice
at 5A Lake Region, twice against
the 6A Lakeland Dreadnaughts
which went through the playoffs

last year, and an improved
Frostproof squad with new coach
Aubrey Whittaker which won their
district last year, will keep the
Wildcats on the go and competi-
tive.

THERAPEUTIC RIDING
The special riding
program at Reality
Ranch about three
miles east of Zolfo
Springs off SR 66 is
growing. Begun in
1998, it provides
training for the men-
tally and physically
challenged and at-
risk kids weekly with
the support of the
local Kiwanis Club
'and a host of individ-
uals and churches. In
top photo, director
Randy Johnson, the
'disabled. founder of
Reality Ranch, enjoys
the benefits and free-
dom of therapeutic
,riding with the aid of
a custom-built sad-
dle. In middle photo,
Keith Palmer learns r
the skills for proper .,
body alignment to
achieve the balance
needed for riding. u ..
Behind him, thera-
peutic riding instruc-
tor Sissy Taylor works
with Palmer to
improve his posture
and correct hand and
body positions. At
left, college student
Heather Emory has
started as a volunteer
and is an instructor
trainee. In lower
photo, riders, volun-
teers and instructors
pause for a picture at
a recent horse day.

tion, call Johnson at
