The Herald-Advocate Hardee County's Hometown Coverage 111th Year, No. 50 4 Sections, 32 Pages 70S Plus 5c Sales Tax Thursday, November 17, 2011 CPA Theft Could Tally $1 By CYNTHIA KRAHL Of The Herald-Advocate A trusted local accountant is suspected of stealing upwards of $1 million in client funds. Michael Douglas Manley, owner of Manley & Associates in Wauchula, was arrested Monday night on first-degree felony charges of grand theft over $100,000 and money laun- dering. He was booked into the Hardee County Jail at 8:24 p.m. If convicted of the crimes as charged, Manley faces a possi- ble maximum sentence of 60 years in state prison. He was charged after alleged- ly admitting to taking money out of clients' trust accounts, Maj. Randy Dey of the Hardee County Sheriff's Office said. Sheriff Arnold Lanier placed the figure at over $500,000 and rising. Manley was being held with-. out bond following his first appearance before a judge Tuesday morning. At that time, Circuit Judge Marcus J. Ezelle withdrew himself from the case, as Manley is his personal accountant. Another circuit judge was set to 'preside over the matter on Wednesday morning. Manley was to be advised of the charges against him and the question of bond was to be addressed. Prosecuting the case will be Assistant State Attorney Steve Houchin. Rusty Franklin will appear as defense counsel. Dey said Tuesday afternoon that the Sheriff's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will oppose bond for Manley, asking the court to require Manley to show where he got any money he might post to gain his release before trial. Manley's bond was set Wednesday morning for $100,000 on each of the two counts he is charged with. Additionally he was ordered to surrender his passport and cannot travel outside of Hardee, Highlands or Polk County. A Nebbia hold was placed upon his release on bond, which means he must provide proof the money used for the bond was obtained from legitimate legal means. Manley, a certified public accountant, owned and operat- ed the accounting firm at 203 S. Seventh Ave. in Wauchula. The building and grounds were sur- rounded with yellow crime- scene tape all day Tuesday as investigators searched digital and paper records. Meanwhile, Manley, 52, of 311 Ohio Ave., Wauchula, signed written resignations from his positions as secre- million tary/treasurer of the Hardee County Economic Develop- ment Council and as board member of the Hardee County Industrial Development Au- thority.

Marine Seriously Injured at Camp By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate For a 2009 Hardee Wildcat graduate, life has taken a sharp turn in the last week. Nick Battles was achieving his dream to become a Marine. when his goal was waylaid last. Wednesday by a freak injury during the last day of basic training. Now. Nick has a challenge of unbelievable proportions as he struggles to recover from those devastating injuries. One verte- bra was shattered and another fractured. He was paralyzed from the collarbone down. He has since had successful stir- nerv to fuse the vertebrae in his neck.

Janice Patricia Wheeler, 49, of 3711 Oak Hills Ranch Road, Zolfo Springs, was booked into the Hardee County Jail on a federal warrant Wednesday night of last week. She had been taken into custody for failing to appear in U.S. District Court in Tampa on Oct. 27 as sum- moned, according to the case file. The fraud charge was the result of a grand jury indictment handed up on Sept. 28. Maj. Randy Dey of the Hardee County Sheriff's Office said the U.S. District Court's summons to Wheeler following that indictment originally had been mailed, but was returned undelivered because there was no mailbox at the address. A sheriff's deputy then hand delivered the notice, he said. But, the district court alleged, Wheeler failed to show up in court as ordered. A warrant was issued for her arrest. Dey said Sgt. Lyle Hart took Wheeler into custody at about 9 p.m. on Wednesday.

BurIton posted a 1,000( bond about 2-1/2 hours later to gain her release from custody while she awaits trial. Maj.

Nancy Craft forwarded an e- mail message to Bill Lambert that showed a woman getting naked while receiving a golf lesson. It was intended to be a joke played on the instructor. Craft said she did not intend to send the email to Lambert's work e-mail address and thought she was sending it to his personal e-mail account. Lambert called for a meeting with the executive committee of EDC, made up of Joe Albritton, Vanessa Hernandez, Rick Jus- tice and Mike Manley before he resigned. The committee deemed the e-mail to be inappropriate and asked Craft to resign her seat on the council. She chose not to resign, so the executive committee called an emergency meeting with the entire board for the next day, Oct. 28, to discuss the e-mail and what should be done about it. The council decided to have a written and anonymous vote on whether or not Craft should be removed from the council. By a vote of 11-2, with one abstention, Craft was voted off the council. 'Craft feels she was removed from the board because she often does not agree with the director or other council mem- bers at meetings and not be- cause of the content of the e- mail. Albritton, who is chairman of the council, said the execu- tive committee decided the e- mail was unacceptable for a council member to send to a staff nmemnlber and would have removed anyv incnnlmber that sent Get Rid Of Old Electronics ...

Hardee County Sheriff Arnold Lanier, a Republican, has announced he will seek re-election in 2012. He has already quali- fied to seek a second term and said there is still a lot to be done regarding law enforcement in the county. Many Gator fans have adopted the Denver Broncos as one of their favorite NFL teams since Tim Tebow is the starting quarter- back. The Bucs and Gators are sliding, as FSU is Florida's top col- lege football team. Former Gator coach and quarterback Steve Spurrier is proud that his South Carolina team this season has defeated traditional SEC East powerhouses Florida, Tennessee and Georgia. 8-2 Hardee will face the 9-1 Highlanders in Lake Wales Friday night in a 5-A football playoff game. These two schools met in Lake Wales in 1994. Lake Wales was No. I in the state and won 7-6. It was a game for the ages. Bob Martin was Hardee's head coach in his 16th year. The Wildcats won the regular season ending game 14-0 over DeSoto, where Martin had been a head coach earlier in his career for 10 years. Martin was growing chickens when superintendent John Terrell lured him to HHS. Martin would coach at HHS one more year, and in 1995 led the Cats to the state title game in Daytona Beach where the Cats lost 28-21 to Jacksonville Bolles. Martin retired because he had leukemia. Lake Wales in 1994 was head coached by Ron Shafer who later was head coach at Webber College but is now back as Lake Wales head coach. He will be matching strategy with second year HHS head coach Buddy Martin. In 1994 Lake Wales was led by Ron Scarlett, Jeff Chaney, Ronnie Daniels and Corey Harris. They went on to the state title game and lost to Jacksonville Bolles. In the first quarter HHS quarterback Justin Hays was blind- sided, fumbled, and a Highlander ran with the pigskin to the Hardee 2. A short line plunge and kick put Lake Wales ahead 7-0. Sports Editor Joan Seaman wrote that 5.000 fans attended the game, about 2,500 for each side. Hardee players included Hays, Daniel Irby. Chris Barnes, Ray Rivas, Kunta Holley, Myron Refoure. Queet Harris, Will Tyson. David McClintock, Kevin Keen, Donnie Canary. Josh McKibben, Kenny Hudson, Rashad Faison, Mike lonnidis. Randy Mink, Perry Jackson, and Samir Abdel Halim. The two teams battled on even terms. Hardee hit 6 of 12 pass- es for 53 yards and I interception. Lake Wales was I for 1 for I yard. Hardee rushed 40) times for 177 yards. The Highlanders rushed 37 times for 174 yards. Hardee outgained Lake Wales 230 yards to 175 yards and held the edge in first downs. 13-10. Hardee had 2 turnovers and Lake Wales 1. Refoure was a star on defense with 12 tackles and 2 sacks and is still remembered by Highlander players from 1994. In the middle of the fourth quarter Hardee mounted a long 14- play drive that resulted in a short plunge by Hudson for a TD with 27 seconds left. On the two-point conversion try. Hudson took .a pitch right and headed for the end zone corner. He went out of bounds at the pylon on a tackle by Harris. Most of Hudson was across the goal line but an official ruled the ball did not. It was a game of an inch or two. Hays, nicked Gabby by his head coach, was injured in the scoring drive and replaced by quarterback Faison. a freshman. Hardee had 7 seniors and Lake Wales 19. Faison is now an HHS assistant football coach. Kunta Holley has a son on the 2011 Wildcats, Keyonte. Chris Barnes has a Wildcat son, Keyon Brown. It will be interesting to see if the 2011 Wildcats, with 19 sen- iors, can avenge the 1994 loss and go on to become one of the greatest HHS teams in history by going deep in the state playoffs. The Cats have already been a pleasant surprise after last year's 3-8 record, which included a close playoff loss to unbeaten Tampa Jesuit. Siails travel on "roadways" that they make themselves.

Doctors say he needs three things: support. will and determination. His mother says he has all three. The fami- ly is very close and all of them have been right there. giving him a blend of humor. love and support. He already has the will and determination. One of his fa- vorite sayings is "I do it because I can. I can because I want to. I want to because someone said I couldn't." His mother adds a few more, "When life gives you 100 rea- sons to cry. show life that you have 100 reasons to smile. When you feel like giving up. remember why you held on for so long in the first place. And. always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second- rate version of someone else." She says the outpouring of love from Hardee County peo- ple has sustained her and the family. "We couldn't do it with- out that," she says. Facebook, cards and phone calls have been overwhelming. Despite the emotional rollercoaster the fam- ily has been on. They've cheered each little bit of success that Nick has had and encour- age him in being patient during the healing process. She can be reached at cell phone 863-245- 0956, if necessary, remember- ing she spends a lot of time with Nick. Hardee Head Coach Buddy Martin coached Battles, "a true Wildcat, one heck of a player. He's a hard worker. If anyone can work hard to get back, he would be the one. He's not a quitter. "We are praying for him, lift- ing him up at every practice. He's one of us, we love him." concluded the coach. TELLER Continued From 1A of family emergencies," Dey alleged. "She stated that she took money several times, that she took $2,000 and different amounts, and then repaid the money before it was discovered missing. "Until," lie charged, "she had taken so much she was unable to pay it back." The alleged total is $13,949.90, the major said. "She was extremely truthful and she's offered to pay the money back." Dey said the discrepancy was found during a regular audit. He alleged Burton would list a cash withdrawal that had not actual- ly occurred, and then the fol- lowing day would cancel that withdrawal. The audit revealed money that should have been there, but was not. "It should be noted no MidFlorida customer had any loss," Dey said. "This was strictly a loss by the bank." Dey said Burton recently suf- fered a death in the family and other events she described as emergencies in explaining why she used some of the funds in her custody while on the job. Burton is no longer employed by MidFlorida. Henry Dunster was named president of Havard Col- lege in 1640. He taught all the courses himself. 21-YEAR-OLD SHOT A Page-One article last week gave an incorrect name for the location of the shooting. It was at Zoeo- poly Auto World.

Solar Farm Firms Up Plans By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate A proposed 1.400-acre solar farm for eastern Hardee County passed another hurdle last week. The Hardee County Com- mission adjourned its regular meeting on Thursday and met as a zoning board to hear the request for a Special Exception for the master plan and site development plan for National Solar Power Partners. The 220 megawatt grid sys- tem will be built in phases. Each 20 MW farm will cover about 160 acres. and will be phased in over a period of about five years. All but one will have- only the solar panels and associated small electrical cabi- nets. One will have a mainte- nance building and service area for full-time employees. offices and a small learning center for visiting schoolchildren and adults to learn about the pro- duction of electricity by solar energy. Lines from the project will connect to the nearby Progress Energy grid. The biggest objection came from neighbor Joe Wright. pres- ident of the 1295-acre B & W dairy farm adjacent to the pro- posed solar plant. Wright was in favor of the use of the land. the former Holly Hill Farms. to produce solar electric. His only concern was the road the two share. Jersey Lane. which is an unpaved county road for about 1.300 feet and then an unpaved private road. It would be the access road for both businesses. Wright said the back yards. septic tank and drainage for three houses which back up to Jersey Lane shouldn't be affect- ed by the access road. "We don't want to lose those houses. The right-of-way for the road shouldn't come off our proper- ty. Solar vice-president Eric Williams said they were already discussing all possibilities about the use of Jersey Lane or an alternate way into the site. Williams also answered ques- tions from the audience and commissioners. There will be no federal monies used for the project, it will all be private funding. Although the county has approved a tax abatement. 80 percent for 10 years, the amount, of tax dollars will grow as each section is developed and moves from Agricultural Green Belt to power producing sections. When the build-out is complet- ed. it will add $700 million to the Hardee County tax roll. The abatement does not apply anything to other than county taxes. It will add 20 percent ad valorem on land for each. $70. million section completed. There will be full ad valorem school taxes paid. Economic Development Director Bill Lambert explained that the state has a formula for its school funding and the required local effort. Within those limitations. the company tax commitment would result in lowered required local effort from other taxpayers. So. it wouldn't be a full $70 million tax roll for each section. In lieu of the first 20 percent of tax abatement, the Industrial Development Authority has approved an incentive grant of $100.000 for planning the proj- ect and up to $150.000 for a transformer interconnectivity study. It is only a portion of the study. which costs $400.000 to $500.000. Williams said after the meet- ing that Solar is working on its environmental permit and hopes to begin clearing and site work by February or March. The solar panels will be deliv- ered about two months later. A new section will be added about every six months. Williams said as part of the tax abatement developer agree- ment. Solar is committed to hir- ing Hardee County employees as much as possible. A job fair will be held in Wauchula on the available jobs. Old Electronics Go To Haz-Mat Site By MARIA TRUJILLO For The Herald-Advocate Reduce, Reuse. 'Recycle. How many times have you heard that expression? Well, on Saturday the Hardee County landfill will be hosting its quarterly Household Haz- ardous Waste Clean-Up Day from 8 a.m. to noon. Since Christmas is drawing near, now is a great time to get rid of hazardous materials to make room for those gifts to be hidden. Maybe you're getting your teen a new iPod or laptop. Or you might be thinking of get- ting that new big screen TV on Black Friday. Just gather up all of your old electronics and take them out to the landfill. This way you know your old gadgets '"vill be' properly dis- posed of instead of leaving them on the side of the road where they can leak hazardous chemicals into the groundwater. In this modern day and time, it seems that every month a new and better cell phone that we "just have to have." comes along. A good way to clear out those old cell phones is to take them to be disposed of properly. Take along all of those old household cleaner products whether aerosol or spray cans, boxes or bottles. Anything con- taining chemicals are accepted. Herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides that have already served their purposes should not be dumped into the ground or put in with the rest of the garbage. Are there fluorescent light bulbs that need to be changed but you don't know what to do with the old ones? Is there paint, wood preservatives, or stains left over from that time you redid your house? How about car enthusiasts? Do you have car batteries. used motor oil, antifreeze, or brake and transmission fluids lying around? Or maybe gasoline and petroleum products? Also people with pools might have accumulated pool cleaning chemicals after those hot summer days. Things you won't be allowed to dispose of are gas cylinders. flares, ammunition, explosives. pyrotechnics, radioactive waste, biohazards, or infectious waste. Also tires will not be accepted. Each household can dispose of up to 60 pounds of hazardous waste for free. There will be people there who will help you unload all of your materials. Businesses that generate less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month may take their waste for proper disposal although they will have to pay current contract price's. If a business generates more than 220 pounds and less than 2,200 pounds of waste per month, it will not be allowed to take its waste to the landfill on Saturday. It may call EQ of Florida for a pickup time. If you would like more infor- matiqn on what you can take to recycle, you may call the land- fill at 773-5089.

FIELD DEDICATED PHOTO BY JIM KELLY A halftime ceremony named the football field in honor of the late Calvin R. Triplett, who won a 4-A state championship with Fort Pierce Central in 1971. Triplett fought in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. A thrilling district title win 27-25 over Merritt Island helped propel the Cobras in 1971. The St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution Nov. 1, 2011, to name the field after Triplett. He was head coach for several years at Winter Haven High School before joining the statewide teacher walkout. He was hired in 1969 to be head coach at Dan McCarty High School in Fort Pierce and took a former 3-7 team to a 7-3 record in 1969. He was head coach of the first three Fort Pierce Central teams. His teams went 11-2, 13-0 and 8-2, for an overall record of 39-7 in four years in St. Lucie County. He won three Suncoast Conference titles, two sectionals, and was state runner-up in 1970. In three years at Fort Pierce his record was 32-4 with a 21-0 Suncoast Conference record. Thirty players received football scholarships in his four years in St. Lucie County. Five former players made college All-American and four were drafted by the National Football League, with another four signing as free agents.

He is a 1957 graduate of Hardee High School and has devoted his life to football. fam- ily. firith. and friendships. Retired and living outside Lakeland near the Green Swamp, he and his wife Gloria of 46 years enjoy having their three children and their families as neighbors. Daughter Lori Pujol and son Leon Williams are award-winning teachers. Son Adam Williams is an award-winning policeman. There are nine grandchildren. Williams played offensive and defensive end for the Hardee High Wildcats. He caught a lot of passes. The head coach was Chuck Williams. The Cats won about half their games in 1956 and 1957. Williams was 145 pounds as a 10th grader and 170 pounds as a senior. He remembers one game in which quarterback Billy McCall overthrew a pass intended for W. M. Marsh and Williams caught it for a touch- down to tie Fort Meade 7-7. After his senior season University of Tampa Spartans head football coach Marcelino Huerta came to Wauchula and had Williams run sprints and pass routes and then offered him a scholarship. Some University of Florida alumni wanted Williams to go play for the Gators. Williams committed to Tam- pa and the first year lived in Huerta's home. He was 6-0 and 185 pounds and was a running- back and leading Spartan receiver catching passes out of the backfield and as a flanker. He played football four years in Tampa and led the team in receiving two years, in scoring three years and rushed for a 4.5 average. After college he went into the Army for three years. He got letters from all of the pro foot- ball teams and still has them. University of Tampa remind- ed him of high school because there were dances after the foot- ball games. The Spartans played such teams as Wofford, Troy State, Southeast Louis- iana, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida State. In high school he played foot- ball the entire game, including kickoff and punt returns. At HHS he was an all-around track athlete, participating in the shotput, discus, high jump, pole vault, 100-yard dash, and 220- yard dash. Other Hardee Countians who played with Williams on the Spartan football teams were Jerry Strickland and Don Herndon. Herndon was three years older than Williams and made Little All-American as a runningback. "We were both the same size and bow-legged. We would hit the hole hard and bounce off tacklers." Williams his senior \ear was slowed by a groin injury. After the A\rmy Williams played semi-pro football for teams in Lakeland and Orlando for S50 a game. His father Bob Williams worked for Doyle E. Carlton Sr. and Doyle E. Carlton Jr. and died at age 39 of a diabetic coma when Buddy was in the ninth grade. The family lived in one of the Carlton houses. As a young boy Buddy Williams was interested in physical fitness. In the summers he hoed orange trees. He worked out regularly, running. doing pushups and situps, and pole vaulting in the front yard. In the Army he did 100 situps and 100 pushups daily. He did two sets of 30 pullups and could do 25 one-arm pushups. In high school he often ran for nine miles on back roads and cow paths, stopping at the halfway point to visit his friend Bubby Whidden. "I developed a lot of patience. I never quit." His brother Robert was also a good athlete in his younger years, but loved to eat and died at age 71 after reaching 470 pounds. Williams coached football and track for 25 years in Polk County at the high school and junior high level, including Kathleen High School, Kathleen Middle School and Lake Gibson High School. He was a head junior varsity coach at Lake Gibson High and head coach at Kathleen Middle School. He taught physical edu- cation and driver education and turned down a job as principal. He was offensive coordinator at Kathleen High School under head coach Tom Atwell who liked a strong passing game. Quarterback David Bowden played for the Gators and wide receiver Joe Goldsmith played for the FSU Seminoles. Williams started meetings of Christian athletes. Today he is head deacon at the local Salvation Army and participates in an annual men's camp which features competitive sports. At Salvation Army he met his wife who was a secretary. Williams still plays a lot of tennis, practices stop and go running, and does calisthenics. He has won the state title in the 100 meters at the Senior Games and finished second in the state in the high jump and 200 meters, and third in the long jump. In 2009 he won gold medals in mixed tennis doubles and men's tennis doubles in the Polk Senior Games. "I took up tennis at age 50 and play two to three hours. three times a week at Kelly Recreation Center. A group of 16 guys meet there. I used to play racquetball. He.played flag football at the Lakeland Citl League until the age of 63. He now likes to scuba dive. "I still have all my teeth. All my parts work good. Staying in shape prevents disease. Eating. heredity and family\ habits are. factors, It is calories in and calories out. If \ou eat a lot. y'o have to burn a lot of calories. "I love ice cream and choco- late-covered nuts and eat a lot of vegetables. Growing up I ate a lot of vegetables and fish." Williams was impressed by watching a health channel on TV that showed 90 percent of a group of people greatly improved their health in 90 days by eating nuts. greens. vegetables and some lean meats plus exercising. His favorite subject in college was anatomy and physiology "I memorized the bones. muscles and ligaments in the human body." At age 73 Buddy, Williams enjoys a healthy and happy life. * Car Alarnms Buddy Williams is flanked by his sister-in-law Wyvette Williams (left) and his wife Gloria Shiver Williams.

I saw a man plowing a field with a mule "May I try it?" I asked. "Yes, sir,' he answered. "But be careful." When I was finished with the row I looked back. I saw that mine was crooked Dut his was straight, "What did I do wrong?" I asked. 'Your eyes wandered." he said. "I fixed my eyes on a goai.' As in cultivating, so in Christian living,. the secret lies in looking straight ahead. The wise man cautioned, "Look straight ahead; don't even turn your head to look." And to whom should we look? The Living Bible answers, "Keep your eyes on Jesus, our Leader and Instructor." Visit us at *,.w 'ihr'Sowel C oni HARDEE COUNTY KIDS NEED HARDEE COUNTY HELP!

In last week's game, the Wildcats got off to a fast start by taking the opening kickoff and going on a 77-yard touch- down drive to start the game. Ledarius Sampson had a 17- yard run followed by a 20-yard run by Andrew Hooks. Quarterback Colby Baker fin- ished the drive with a 4-yard keeper around the left end. The Octavio Alvarez PAT was good and the Wildcats led 7-0 with 5:56 to go in the first quarter. Fort Pierce responded quick- ly, taking just six plays to move 59 yards to tie the game at 7-7 with 4:13 left in the first quar- ter. The Wildcats started their next drive deep in their own ter- ritory at the 7-yard line. A-pair of 6-yard runs by Sampson was followed by a 30-yard gain by Hooks. Aaron Barker took a pitch around the right side for a 15- yard gain and a facemask penal- ty tacked on 15 more, moving the ball down to the Fort Pierce 15-yard line. Four plays later Hooks found the end zone on a 2-yard run up the middle. The Alvarez PAT was good and the,'Cats led 14- 7 with 11:56 left in the half. Fort Pierce took over at its 36-yard line and went on an 8- play drive capped off by a quar- terback run around the left end. The PAT tied the game at 14-14 with 9:35 left in the game. Hardee started the next drive at its 20-yard line after a 15- yard return by Deonte Evans. An incomplete pass on third down had the 'Cats punting back to Fort Pierce which took over at the Hardee 48-yard line. On the first play of the drive Jonathan Stevens took a hand- off around the left end for a 48- yard touchdown run. The PAT was good and Hardee trailed 21-14 with 7:35 left in the half. The kickoff went out of bounds giving Hardee the ball at the 35-yard line. Keonte Holley ripped off a 12-yard run to start the drive and Hooks had a 20-yard gain before an intentional grounding penalty moved Hardee back. On third-and-24, Baker dropped back and threw into the end zone for a heavily guarded Hooks who made a great diving catch for a 40-yard touchdown strike. Alvarez made the PAT and the Cats had tied the game at 21-21 with 4:11 left in the half. Fort Pierce took over and drove down to the Wildcats' goal line before the Hardee defenders denied the end zone and forced the Cobras to settle for a 31-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the half making it 24-21. Fort Pierce received to start the second half and stretched its lead to 31-21 after going on an 80-yard drive finished off by a 29-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Sigmon to Jameel Jackson. Hardee was forced to a three- and-out punt after Baker was sacked while attempting a pass on third down. Fort Pierce took over at the Wildcat 38-yard line but was forced to a turnover on downs after going for it on fourth down. Needing only a yard, Alquawn Vickers tried running up the middle but Mikey Retana made a big hit and denied the first down. The Wildcats then went on a 71-yard touchdown drive, fin- ished off with a hard run up the middle from 5-yards out by Holley. The Alvarez PAT made it 31-28 with 11:56 left in the game. Fort Pierce responded and stretched its lead,to 38-28 after going on an .8-play, 64-yard touchdown drive with 8:28 left in the game. Hardee then substituted many of the offensive players so they would not get injured in the final game before the play- offs. Holley and Barker moved the chains before sophomore quar- terback Kris Johnson had a third-down pass intercepted by Freedom Whitfield and returned 40-yards for a touch- down with 5:29 left in the game making the final score 45-28. Head Coach Buddy Martin said he was very proud of the way his team competed with the much larger school. Depth became an issue late in the game as many Hardee players played both ways and the Fort Pierce players were limited to either offense or defense. Martin said the team accom- plished what it needed to against Fort Pierce and thinks it will be a confidence booster heading into the playoffs. Tickets for the Lake Wales game can be purchased in advance by calling Suzanne Stagg at Hardee Senior High, 773-3181, or through Albritton Insurance. Tickets are $8 and must be paid for by cash only.

Greetings from Fort Green! Twenty-seven youth and adults enjoyed the all-night trip to Tampa. They watched the Lightning win a hockey game, and three of them were privi- leged to ride in the machine that cleaned the ice: Dalton and Rex Richey and Holly Brown. They said it was fun and you could see all over the stadium. They all had good seats-'ay up, but everything was visible and most thought the game exciting and a first for most of them. Of course the next day there were some tired people in Fort Green! Tina Owens, a member of Fort Green and a worker at Winn-Dixie is an unusual em- ployee. She marked her 60th year with this company on Nov. 17. I have never heard of any- one being allowed or wanting to stay that long with one compa- ny. She said one of the execu- tives from Jacksonville came down and interviewed her and a crew filmed it. Hopefully it will be shown on television. Years ago people could stay with one company until they reached retirement, but in the past 20 years quite a few com- panies let them go a few years before retirement, as a cost-sav- ing measure. I have known some personally that this hap- pened to and it really hurt them and their families. Floyd Murray's family cele- brated his 90th birthday with a family dinner. Happy birthday to him, and as my grandpa al- ways said, hope you'll live to be S 1 . . . .' : : .. : "' -J : 100! Sherman and I went to a sem- inar on alternative crops in Se- bring last week. We were very glad to see Ralph Chamberlain in the audience. When the speaker on peaches was leaving he left, too. so Sherman left and as soon as he had finished his conversation with the peach consultant, we enjoyed a visit. He is looking good, even though he said he was getting gray and fat, I could not con- firm that! He looked just the same. He had visited with his brother, Brian, recently when he was up near Monticello and his mother and dad still live in Sebring. He said his dad always was the "Archie Bunker" type, but had mellowed and was real- ly helping Betty with chores, grocery shopping, etc. They all used to live in Fort Green and were members of Fort Green Baptist. They are one family that everyone misses! Betty Walker and Mildred Cooper were able to attend church last Sunday. They both looked really good and every- one was glad to see them. We were all surprised to see Lila Blink, but one of her friends, Dee, who lives in the park, brought her and felt sure some- one would drive her home and she was certainly correct! There were several available to drive her home, but John and Essie Deer were the privileged ones! Ladies Night Out was its usual huge success. The youth choir who sang are Kasie -'owell, K.-Lynn Simpson, Hannah and Holly. Brown, Johnee and Ashlee Davenport, Kaylee Hogenauer, Cierra, Austin, Tyler and Dustin Smith, Andrew Casey) and Norma Alejandro. Byron Allison di- rected them; Lee Chancey pro- vided guitar music and Paul Clark played the piano. After the delicious meal and wonderful program we had door prizes. During this part of the program Paul Clark, dressed as a really Southern Santa in typical summer attire, straw hat and sandals, made an appear- ance. This part of the program was hilarious and you needed to be there to get the full effect! We had two young seniors attending, Eunice Toms and Odell Lee. Both of these fine ladies have reached the magical age of 91! Nancy McQuaig was on Facebook in the wee hours of the morning recently when it messed up and the phone rang and it was her son who is in the military in a foreign country. She was one happy mama! Johnny Summerville is not doing well, Buck Toole is still weak, Sharon Lee remains in pain and Bim Davis is in the hospital in Sebring but improv- ing and expected to return to Hardee Manor this week. Please remember to pray for these as well as each other and our nation. Constant use will not wear ragged the fabric of friend- ship. ............................... 7- allull.

Football fans, the season now has two less unbeaten teams with Boise St. and Stanford falling this weekend. If Oklahoma St. can beat Oklahoma and finish out. the National Championship Game should be a great one. Oklahoma St., LSU and Houston are the only undefeated teams left in college football. What if Oklahoma beats Oklahoma St. and Arkansas beats LSU? Just asking. The Gators played South Carolina close but fell to 5-5. This week, they face Furman. The Purple Paladins lost to Elon this week. The Gators will become bowl eligible with a win Saturday. A win at home over FSU would give UF a 7-5 season and salvage the season going into the bowl game. FSU is playing for a 10-win season since the ACC looks to have Virginia Tech and Clemson in a rematch for the league's championship. Clemson would be the better representative from the ACC. Can FSU beat Florida in Gainesville? Regardless, the 30- year bowl streak is in tack. USF took out its frustrations on Syracuse in the Dome. The Bulls still have a chance to play in a bowl game. The Big East has so many scenarios going into the final weeks that it is more con- fusing than rational. The BCS representative will have at least two losses no matter which team it is. The Bulls have three home games, with Miami, Louisville and West Virginia, to finish the sea- son. Now let's look at this week's Bill 0' Fare ... 1. Furman at Florida Gators have no problem in this one. UF 41 Furman 7. 2. Miami at USF Bulls at home fresh off a win at Syracuse. Both teams with 5 wins, so who wants a bowl the most? USF 33 Miami 31. 3. UCF at East Carolina Knights add to Pirates' long sea- son. UCF 23 ECU 16. 4. Marshall at Memphis Herd needs to win here and at home with ECU to go to the Hawaii Bowl. They can get it done. Marshall 34 Memphis 19. 5. North Carolina at Virginia Tech Hokies take care of business. VPI 35 UNC 17. 6. Southern Miss at UAB Eagles soar over hapless Blazers. USM 58 UAB 14. 7. Kansas St. at Texas Wildcats are upset victims. Texas 31 KSU 28. 8. Cincinnati at Rutgers Collaros is out and Rutgers will blitz the backup. Both teams are still in the hunt for the Big East Title. Rutgers 24 Cincinnati 20. 9. Georgia Southern at Alabama Eziah Youyoute and his Eagles go to Tuscaloosa! GSU, like Alabama, was ranked number one most of the season in its division. A loss to Appalachian St. knocked the Eagles down some. Alabama 48 GSU 20. 10. Mississippi St. at Arkansas Watch the Hogs. They might beat LSU and throw the whole bowl picture into turmoil. Arkansas 40 MSU 17. 11. Kentucky at Georgia SEC East Champion Dawgs roll. UGA45 UK 10. 12.

"Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhort- ing you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints," Jude 1:3. The faith being mentioned here was once delivered by Jesus Christ, so there is no "latter day" revelation. Consider these passages: "For Christ also suffered once for sins ...," IPeter 3:18; "... we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all," Hebrews 10:10; "... but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself," Hebrews 9:26; "... with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption," Hebrews 9:27; "... for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself," Hebrews 7:26-27; "For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God, Romans 6:10. The only "latter day" revelation was spoken of by the Hebrew writer in Chapter 1: "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed Heir of all things, through Whom also He made the worlds," verses 1-2. What has been delivered is "the faith," Jude 17, 20-21. Jude's appeal is for those who've been sanctified ... to contend earnestly for the faith. Realize that many of our neighbors are contending zealously for false doctrine! This word "contend" means "to struggle for." Could we be more mindful of this when one of our friends misquotes Scripture, thus giving it false meaning? How about when a scriptural question comes up in conversation? Are we contending for the faith and approaching others who "might not want to be badgered"? Our admonition is to contend for the faith. Maybe we've for- gotten that "struggling" is actually the biblical concept here. Other folks might not enjoy hearing it, but the truth needs to be told. Souls are being lost this very minute to false doctrine. Let us resolve to stand fast for the Lord. Read, study and obey God's Word.

Outta The Woods By Tony Young Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission GIVE THANKS FOR HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES! The 2011-12 hunting season is in full swing. In this month's column, I cover most everything you need to know about general gun, fall turkey, quail and gray squirrel, snipe ano ..,e second phase of mourning and white-winged dove seasons. The first thing you need to do is pick up a S17 Florida resident hunting license. Non-residents pay S46.50 for a 10-day license or S 151.50 for 12 months. If you plan to hunt one of Florida's many wildlife management areas, you'll also need a S26.50 management area permit., but 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 the tax collector's office near each WMA, or you can download them from MyFWC.- com/Hunting. You can buy your license and permits by calling 888-Hunt- Florida or online at fl.wildlifelicense.com. Have your credit card ready. You also can purchase them from a tax collector's office and most retail outlets that sell hunting and fishing supplies. The general gun season runs Nov. 5-Jan. 22 in Zone C; Dec. 3- Feb. 19 in Zone B; and in Zone A, the second phase of general gun season runs Nov. 19-Jan. 1. In Zone D, it starts Thanksgiving Day and lasts four days through Nov. 27. Two weeks later, the season reopens Dec. 10 and runs through Feb. 19. Hunters can take bucks having at least one antler five inches or longer, but anyone hunting deer in Florida must have the $5 deer permit. On private lands, the daily bag limit for deer is two, but during some quota hunts on WMAs, the bag limit is only one deer. In some cases, there are antler restrictions, so read the particular WMA brochure before hunting. On private lands, hunters can take wild hogs year-round with no bag or size limits. On most but not all WMAs, there's also no bag or size limit on wild hogs, and hunters can take them dur- ing any hunting season except spring turkey. Again, check the WMA brochure to be certain. ' The highly anticipated antlerless deer season, often called "doe week," is Nov. 19-25 (Thanksgiving week) in zones A and C, and Dec. 26-Jan. I (Christmas week) in zones B and D. During doe week, the daily bag limit is one buck and one doe, or two bucks. You may not take two does in one day as you can during archery season, and spotted fawns are never legal game. By the way, WMAs do not have an antlerless deer season. If you hunt with deer dogs anywhere in Florida, special rules and registration requirements may apply, so call the FWC for details. -r F Defendants. NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given that pur- suant to a Summary Judgmeni entered in the above-entitled cause in the Circuit Court of Hardee County, Florida, I will sell the property situated in Hardee County, described as: TRACT 11: THE EAST 1/2 OF THE NW 1/4 OF THE NE 1/4 OF SEC-' TION 27, TOWNSHIP 33 SOUTH, RANGE 26 EAST, HARDEE COUN- TY, FLORIDA, SUBJECT TO THE MAINTAINED RIGHT OF WAY FOR ED WELLS ROAD ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND SUBJECT TO AN EASEMENT FOR.

In zones B and C, it runs Dec. 3-Jan. 29 and Nov. 5-Jan. 1, respectively. And in Zone D, fall turkey season is Nov. 24-27 and Dec. 10-Jan. 15, except for in Holmes County, where there is no fall turkey season. Only bearded turkeys and gobblers are legal game, and you must have a turkey permit ($10 for residents; $125 for non-resi- dents) to hunt them. The bag limit is one bird per day, and a total of two during the archery, crossbow, muzzleloading gun and fall turkey seasons combined. Quail and gray squirrel season runs statewide Nov. 12-March 4. There's a daily bag limit of 12 for each, but shooting fox squir- rels 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 rifles, shotguns. muzzleloaders, bows, crossbows and pistols are legal for taking these resident game animals during the general gun, antler- less deer. fall turkey, and quail and gray squirrel seasons. Florida snipe hunting ranks second in the nation for the num- ber of birds harvested each year. That season runs Nov. 1-Feb. 15 statewide. The second phase of the mourning and white-winged dove season also came in this month and runs Nov. 12-27. Shooting hours for migratory game birds are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. The bag limit for snipe is eight: for doves, the bag limit is 15. You must get a no-cost migratory bird permit if you plan to hunt snipe, doves or any other migratory game birds. The FWC even provides an online "Dove Hunter's Hotline" that gives up-to-date information on Florida's public dove fields. The address is MyFWC.com/Dove, and it's updated every Thursday throughout the dove season. Information includes dove densities, previous week's harvests and field conditions. Whether small-game hunting with friends and family or hunt- ing solo, going after that monster buck, boar hog or big tom, November brings loads of great hunting opportunities. Here's wishing you a happy Thanksgiving and a successful hunting season! Tony Young is the media relations coordinator for the FWC's Division of Hunting and Game Management.

He was born on Aug. 14, 1935, in St. Joseph, Fla., at his parents' house. His life as a child was busy. He had daily chores such as tak- @ ing care of \, , the animals, '; / ,. cleaning around the house, and going to school. When school was over ar"1 the home- work and chores were cdjplete, they could play. He enjoyed games like Red Rover and Mother May I? One of his family traditions was attending weekly Mass together every Sunday. They would enjoy sitting around the radio listening to programs and baseball games. As a child he does not remember being afraid of anything. My grandfa- ther enjoyed school and high school. He recalls that they had to learn to read and write, do math and understand litera- ture. The school day was 8:30-3:30. He went to grammar school for eight years and high school for four years. There was neither a kindergarten nor middle school. My grandfather walked to school and when he was a little older he would ride his bike. As a teenager he drove a car. During his high school years he played baseball and football on the school team. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friends and family, especially after Sunday Mass, but his favorite memory is the day he graduated high school. My grandfather has 10 living sib- lings. An older sister died when she was 11 years old from strep throat. He does- n't remember much about her since he was only 6 years old when she died. Their family owned a truck for the farm and a Chevy passenger car. Entertainment in his day was a lot. COURTESY PHOTO Neuhofer cheaper than it is now. A movie was only 50 cents, and a burger and fries was 35 cents. He remembers that most people earned about $1 per hour for work. A candy bar and Coke cost five cents each. In 1960 a new car cost around $2,000. Boys wore dress-up shirts .and ties to church with pants or jeans. Girls wore dresses that were more modest than today. There were no plunging neck- lines or skin-tight clothes. Pedal pushers were also popular with the girls. Music that was popular was "cowboy music" and big band. There was no rock-and-roll or hip-hop rap. The music was easier going, using acoustic guitars and horns. He did not take any music lessons and joked that he "can't carry a tune and has no musical talent." His father, however, did play the organ and piano. He met my grandmother on a blind date. A friend of his fixed him up with her, and he fell in love. They were mar- ried 34 years until she passed away from cancer in 1995. Together they had nine children. It was good but was chal- lenging having so many kids. The hard- est part was giving each child the atten- tion they needed. Discipline was impor- tant, too. It was a pleasure to be a father to them and watch them all grow up and live positive lives. As an adult he owned and operated an egg farm. It started with just a few chickens that they raised up. They sold their eggs and in turn bought more chickens. Eventually they owned 20,000 birds and sold their eggs to many busi- nesses in the Tampa and St. Petersburg area. My grandfather recalls World War II but no one in his immediate family was affected. He did have an uncle that served in the war. My grandfather served two years in the Army, driving a Jeep during.peace time. He believes their political opinions and notions were in the best interest of the country. He said the most historically signifi- cant thing that happened in his life was the man landing on the moon.

It read: Men Wanted! Constant Danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor in case of success! Placed by explorer Shackleton, it was a call for volunteers to go with him to the South Pole. Hundredsvolunteered. Today our Lord offers you choice and a challenge. He says. "if any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his, cross, and follow Me." There can be no gain without, pain. no crown without a cross, . Dare you take up your cross and: followHim? Visit us a~r: www. TheSower.comn Dfid you a ever forget an important anniversary or birthday? Do you ever feel forgotten, even by those closest to you? God always remembers you. You need only to believe in His plan il-.h and have faith in your Creator. He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11... "For I know the plans I have for you...to give you a future and a hope." Remember God this week at your house of worship; He knows every thing about you and will never forget you. Weekly Scripture Reading 1 Chron. 1 Chron. 2 Chron. 2 Cp ron.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE: The Southwest Florida Water Management District is proposing to amend the following ruless: 40D-40.302, F.A.C. The District's Annual Regulatory .Plan for July 2011 June 2012 identifies rulemaking initiatives that are intended to amend or repeal outdated rules, reduce costs and implement changes that would reduce burdens and achieve other streamlining benefits for the regulated public. One such initiative relating to Environmental Resource Permits (ERPs) is to allow under the threshold for General ERPs the ability to conduct dredge or fill activities in ponds up to one acre in size and constructed in up- lands, for which no mitigation is required. This amendment will make the threshold for a general per- mit consistent with the provision in Section 3.2.2.2 of the ERP Basis of Review which allows alterations to certain wholly owned ponds constructed entirely in uplands and which are less than one acre in size without requiring mitigation to offset adverse impacts to fish and wildlife. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking appeared in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 46, 40D-40.302, F.A.C., on November 18, 2011. A copy of the proposed rule can be viewed on the Dis- trict's website at http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/rules/proposed/ Pursuant to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, any person requiring special ac- commodations to provide comments on this rulemaking is asked to contact: The Southwest Florida Water Management District Human Resources Director, 2379 Broad Street, Brooksville, Florida 34604-6899; telephone (352) 796-7211, ext. 4702 or 1-800-423-1476 (FL only), ext. 4702; TDD (FL only) 1-800-231-6103; or email to ADACoordinator@swfwmd.state.fl.us.

Volunteer to be a Guardian Ad Litem. 773-2505 (If office unattended, please leave message.) ! PAGE ONE By JOAN SEAMAN Of The Herald-Advocate It's win or go home! The 2011 Class 5A Region 3 playoffs begin Friday night. As District 10 runner-up, the Hardee Wildcats travel to District 9 champion Lake Wales for the 7:30 p.m. quarterfinal round. A win there will place Hardee against the winner of the District 10 champion Palmetto, District 9 runner-up Auburndale clash. If Palmetto wins, Hardee would have to travel there to take on the Tigers on their turf. If Auburndale were to win, the Bloodhounds would have to come to Hardee. The game against District 9 champion Lake Wales won't be an easy one for the Wildcats. The Highlanders won their district with a 14-7 victory over Auburndale. They finished the season 9-1 with a 41-0 win over hapless Bartow last Friday night. The only loss for the Highlanders came at the hands of the Class 6A Winter Haven Blue Devils on Oct. 28 in a 13- 10 game. I After a preseason 21-21 tie with Lakeland Kathleen, Lake Wales went on to win the first seven games of the season. barely getting by Lake Gibson 19-16, and Auburndale 14-7 but dominating all the other oppo- nents but Winter Haven. The Highlanders finished up with a 274-97 scoring record against its 10 regular-season opponents. "They've got a lot of good players, are a lot like us, run a lot and throw occasionally. Their defense is good," summa- rized Hardee Head Coach Buddy Martin. "They have a stable of run- ning backs and an athletic quar- terback," continued Martin. Jonte Sergeant leads the run- ning attack, with Tony Reeves, Daniel Baker and punt returned Ladarian Wilson rounding it out. Quarterback Roland Milli- gan is coming back from injury but was only 4-for-8 in last week's game. He likes to go to his star receiver Marcel White, but will aim for Christian Blocker. Martin said the Lake Wales secondary and linebackers are quick to back up the defensive line and prevent opponent scor- ing. Not to worry. Hardee has its own cadre of successful play- ers. On the District 17 Florida Athletic Coaches Association All-Stars, among players from Sebring, Avon Park, Lake Placid, DeSoto, Moore Haven, Walker Memorial and Heart- land Christian, Hardee domi- nated the All-Star squad. (The last two do not play football). Martin was named District 17 Coach of the Year. Wide receiv- er/defensive back Deonte Evans claimed the district Player of the Year honor. In total, Hardee equaled Sebring in placing 10. the most of any district school on the All-Star squad. Joining Evans on the offensive team were quarterback Colby Baker, center Dylan Farr, and tackles Wintz Terrell and Jesus Zuniga. Defensively, Hardee also placed five players on the All- Star team. James Greene was selected as a defensive end, Mikey Retana as a linebacker, Keshun Rivers as cornerback, and both Justin Knight and Andrew Hooks as safeties. Overall, Hardee outscored its opponents. 353-133. The Wild- cats finished at 8-2, losing to District 10 champion Palmetto 16-13, and the season finale to Class 7A Fort Pierce 45-28. v florida High Sdioal AtlisUc Ameodadan Flo iu High S A.

Moralez will fine tune his technique for Saturday's state run at Little Everglades course in Dade City. He kept some reserve as he rounded the course at the Class 2A Region 3 meet at Chain Of Lakes in Titusville on Saturday. Trailing in 17th place with a mile to go, Moralez picked it up and passes nine runners to place eighth with a time of 16:40.01. Among the runners he passed there were those from West Show, two from Berkeley Prep, Lehigh, Lemon Bay, Cocoa Beach, Cocoa and two from Anclote. Of the latter, he beat one by 37 hundredths of a sec- ond and the other by 88 hun- dredths. The winning time was 16:13.01 by Alexander Main of Berkeley Prep, followed by runners from Robinson, La- Belle, Jesuit, Immokalee. Rock- ledge and another Berkeley Prep runner. "The 'Cats ran into a-hornet's nest at the regional meet on Saturday. It was pretty much considered the toughest region in the state with 11 national elite performances. Region I had 10 elites but included all classifications, IA through 4A at one giant meet," commented Hardee Coach Don Trew. "The other regional meets had half the elite qualifiers as Region 3," added Trew. He noted that Adrian Briones and Allie Solis both set personal records on Saturday. Briones came in at 20:26 and Solis was home at 23:46, only five min- utes behind her teammate Febe Murillo. Hardee will lose Augustine, Antonio Galvan, Reimundo Garcia, Antonio Moreno and Juan Vela to graduation. Moralez, Briones, Brandon Beatty, Alex Pierstorff, Josh Wyatt, Leonel Rodriguez, Adam Ramirez and Derek Sambrano will return for the boys squad. Murillo, Solis, Veronica Ramirez and Adrianna Arroyo are expected back to anchor the girls squad.

For the past seven years, the club has held a BBQ dinner called Lions Day. Purchasing a BBQ ticket also includes entry into a drawing for quite a few prizes. The top three prizes this *year are a flat screen TV from CF Industries, an I-pad from David Singletary/State Farm Insurance and an i-phone from Albritton Insurance. There are a number of other prizes including Main Street dollars, Java Caf6 gift cards and gift cards from Cat's on Main, Jellybeans and Kelly's Magnolia Tree. Supporting this BBQ makes it possible for students and oth- ers to have visions services pro- vided. Sevigny and Associates Eyecare has partnered with the Wauchula Lions Club to provide vision screenings and glasses. The Florida Lions Foundation for the Blind works with Lions Club across the State to provide low cost eye surgeries. The Wauchula Lions Club works with the Hardee County Health Department school nurses to ensure no student is in need of vision services. The club also supports the Hardee High School Lionettes by providing scholarship oppor- tunities for the Lionettes. Any, Lionette member that sells 100 BBQ tickets automatically receives a $500 scholarship from the Lions Club and for every 20 tickets the girls sell their name is put in for a draw- ing for another scholarship. The dinners will be available at Friday Night Live Nov. 18, 2011 from 5:30 to 7:30. The drawings will not take place until after 7:30 so even if you do not have a ticket until Friday you have the opportunity to win one of the great prizes. Anyone interested in tickets can contact an HHS Lionette, Sevingy and Associates or Lions Debbie Murray at First National Bank or Julie Watson at Hardee County Title.

He says that for two years the community has asked him to open his own restaurant. JP's will be Gray's first business, though he has about 25 years' experience in the food industry, including in management. In fact. Gray's first job was at a barbecue place when he was 15 years old. Even though he hasn't owned an actual restaurant, Gray has become well-known in the community for his, catering and as a vendor at places like Pioneer Park. It's no surprise the public wants more of Gray's barbecue. He has entered several barbecue competitions, including the Florida Barbecue Association a few years back, and ended up being named the Grand Champion. He also has finished in the top 10 in over 35 competitions; in some of those even making it to the top three! Even though Gray is excited to open his restaurant, he knows he is taking a risk, especially bec. he left a stable job at Mosaic. He had been employed there for about nine years. One thing that he has that has helped him through this some- times stressful process is his faith in God. Gray feels that this is something God wants him to do because at times when everything seemed impossible, something else came up to save the situation. Gray says people should come to his restaurant because of the great food quality he promises to everyone who comes through his door. JP's is located on East Main Street next to the Chamber of Commerce, where Sali's Sandwich Shoppe used to be. It will be open Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Thursday and Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. So if you're a barbecue lover or a student who wants a place to hang out and take advantage of the Wi-Fi, then make your way to JP's Smokehouse BBQ.
