McCutchen received a plaque from Fort Meade Mayor Walter Bryant. McCutchen has reported to the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie league team in ByRUSTIN DWYER Staff Writer A school administrator return- ing to Bartow in the Fall was at the center of a pay scale approval debate at. the Polk County school board meeting on June 14. The new pay scale adjustments set salary highs and lows for all school based administrators in Polk arid adjusted them accord- ingly for. 2005. The problem is that six of the administrators will be making more than the new scale calls for. At the heart of the issue is Dr. Steve Petrie, whose salary is the highest of the six, as well as most over the range's ceiling. Petrie worked in Bartow as an adminis- trator from 1978 to 1988 and will be the new principal at Union Academy in the Fall. The other five involved are the assistant principal at Bethune Academy, assistant principal at Elbert Elementary, assistant principal -at Lake Alfred Elementary, incoming principal at Daniel Jenkins Academy Middle, and the principal at East Area Adult School. Petrie's salary is $13,493 high- er than the. highest salary for a middle s:hq.i .principal with 14 ? -'*",, -. -'"..' Bradenton, the Gulf Coast League Pirates.

Already a local celebrity, McCutchen was asked to pose for photos and sign autographs following the presentation. - (Staff photo) years of experience is supposed to make. Some of this stems from when Petrie held the position of area assistant superintendent. When that position was eliminat- ed in 2002, he did not have to take a substantial pay cut when he transferred into his former position, principal of Sleepy Hill Middle. Under former Supt. Jim 7Thornhill's administration, some of the six area assistant superin- tendents were allowed to keep their salaries in their new jobs. Promises reportedly were made to allow them to keep their salaries despite the fact that they' were above the ceiling for their new positions. After the debate, the board voted 5-to-2 to accept the new pay scale, with the compromise that in a year, if the salaries of the six do not fall in line with the pay scale they will either have to take a pay cut or transfer to a higher paying job. School Supt. Dr. Gail McKinzie said there were many more peo- ple who were outside the salary ranges before school administra- tors were given three percent raises this year. By next year, she said, all but one of them should be within the prescribed range. Board Members Brenda Reddout and Margaret Lofton, who voted against the plan, didn't like the message they said approving the salaries sends to the school system. "When the voters had a man- date to make the change to appointed superintendent, I thought that would be then end of holding some people up to a spe- cial light and not treating every- one fairly," Mrs. Reddout said. "This keeps us at least another year away from equity and equal- ity." Mrs. Lofton said the move could "cause problems with employee morale," and was "not fair." Board Chm. Kay Fields later said, "It might not have been fair. The promise probably should not have been made." Board Member Frank O'Reilly, who earlier in the year voted against a salary increase for school board members, said it was "hypocritical" of them to even be debating the issue after raising their own salaries. "There isn't an employee in this school district that can turn around and vote themselves a $6,000 raise," he said. Sick Baby Lending a helping hand to help save a sick baby is so easy when the benefit includes deli- cious food. A fish fry at the Bartow Moose Lodge, 301 Moose Lodge Road, is planned Saturday, June 25, to benefit Georgia "Faith" Hicks, and assist with medical expens- es. Serving will begin at 5 p.m. and last until all the fish is gone. The meal will include all the fish you can eat, hush puppies and all the trimmings for $6. The benefit will also include an auction, raffles and entertain- ment in the social quarters of the lodge. Little Faith is the focus of a fundraising campaign here in Polk County to assist with her medical expenses. Born 3-1/2 months premature on Aug. 20, 2004, weighing just under two pounds, Faith was diagnosed with short gut syn- drome, and doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami rec- ommend a lifesaving multiviscer- al transplant (liver, intestines, stomach, pancreas). Friends and family are trying to raise the $50,000 transplant- related expenses. An account has been set up at any Wachovia Bank. The account number is 3000025423339. Checks are to be made payable o to COTA for Georgia H. For on- line information, visit www.cota.org and click on "Patient Campaigns," then click on "Georgia." Anyone with items to donate for the auction may call Don Reese at 640-3760. Check dona- tions also may be sent to: P.O. Box 924, Bartow, Florida 33831- 0924. pay $33.75. Although called a "user fee" and not a tax, the fee will be col- lected on tax bills, beginning in October of this year. It is projected to raise $639,700 next year the first year it is imposed and revenues will rise each year as more homes and commercial buildings are built. As presently worded, the ordi- nance requires that the amount be increased automatically each year, but two commissioners opposed the automatic increases, saying the increases should be considered by the commission each year. Chastain-Skillman, Inc., the city's consulting firm, computed that the average Bartow home has 2,525 square feet of impervi- ous surface, which is surface through which water will not pass. That figure, 2,525 square feet, is designated as an Equivalent Residential Unit, or ERU. Commercial property will be assessed based on that num- ber. A commercial property with 5,050 square feet of impervious surface, or two ERUs, would pay $90. Owners of vacant land would pay $11.25 for parcels of up to 25 acres, $22.50 for parcels from 25 to 50 acres, and $45 for parcels of more than 50 acres. Owners of property with approved storm retention basins would get a discount of 25 to 75 percent, depending on the capaci- ty of their retention systems. The consultant listed two ini- tial projects: improvements to the Hacklake drainage system, $8 million, and improvements to drainage on Park Avenue, $320,000. The commission has not acted on either proposal. Other projects have not yet been defined. The four largest sources of the new tax would be residential property (35.8 percent), govern- ment property (21.8 percent), commercial property (21.5 per- cent), and industrial property (10.7 percent). Other categories, each accounting for less than 10 per- cent, are miscellaneous (5.6 per- cent), institutional (4.0 percent), and agricultural (0.6 percent). Both an ordinance establishing the "stormwater utility system" and a companion ordinance estab- lishing the amount of the tax will be considered on final reading tonight. The commission will meet at 5 o'clock at city hall for a work ses- sion, and will reconvene at 6:30 for its regular meeting. The work session will begin (See Page 5 Col. 1) Benefit Planned For Scott Fowler's Grocery By JANICE JARED Staff Writer A blaze may have destroyed Fowler's Grocery, but not the helping spirit of the community. "If you know Scott Fowler, you will want to help," organizers of Help Scott Fowler Day said. On Saturday, June 25, at 8 a.m., family, friends, fellow church members and customers, will meet at Fowler's Grocery to lend a helping hand. Owner Scott Fowler, his family and his employees could use some help with restoration work on his store that was burned out. . Everyone is asked to bring scrub pads (soot will not just wipe off), paper towels, buckets, lad- ders, helping hands and a willing attitude. Fowler has the cleaning solu- tion needed to remove the black soot, which covers the entire inside of the store located on Highway 98 East of Fort Meade. An explosion, apparently from one of the refrigeration units located in an open shed at the right back area of the store, caused the May 25 fire. No one was injured in the fire but the store was engulfed in flames or smoke. According to employees, Fowler has done everything pos- sible to keep his employees on the payroll. He has set up a trailer in the front of the store, and furnished it with stoves and cooking equip- ment in order to continue the store's catering operations. Feed sales and gas sales at the store have continued to operate. The store furnishes catered, delivered items on a regular basis to many of the businesses, clubs and churches in the area of not only Fort Meade, but Bartow, Bowling Green and Wauchula. Although employees are glad to get to continue to earn their salaries, it is not easy to work with no air conditioning. "Although the store was insured, most people in this area have experienced what it is like to wait for an insurance company's help," said organizers. "When dumpsters and supplies are to be delivered the next day, they are not, and who knows when they will be." "Each day as I deliver the mail, I see Mr. Fowler covered from head to toe with soot, out in the hot sun, working, trying to show his stepson how to paint, how to pressure wash. He is always working," Julie Sturgis said. For years Fowler has support- ed every school, community, or charitable activity the football program, cheerleaders, band, con- cession stands, FFA, his friends, his neighbors and his employees. He has been known to open his store after hours, let kids in to make lunches for an activity and donate all of the fixings, accord- ing to organizers of the communi- ty help day. This is the store's third fire, and Fowler has had other tragedies, such as being involved in an accident and being confined to a wheelchair for several years. Fowler is a churchman. He attends the First Assembly of God Church in Bartow. Some of his fellow church members plan to be on hand to help. Fowler's daughter, Heather O'Cain, who lives in Hartow, said she will be on hand to help orga- nize. Her Bartow church has also expressed a desire to help. "Mr. Fowler could use some help from all those whom he has helped," said Mrs. Sturgis. Pupp Ente] Incoming Bartow Principal At Center of Salary Debate ~.

He added, "Would you place sand in a watch? Would you smudge a house full of beautiful pictures?" In 1935, "Persia" became "Iran." In 1965, the world's largest air- conditioned room opened the Houston Astrodome. In 1851, the Alarum Bedstead was introduced at the Great Exhibition in London. The Alarum was an alarm clock, waking its sleeping owner with a bell. If that didn't work, the sleeper's pajamas were mechanically whisked off. If that still didn't work, the mattress tilted and the sleeper was dumped unceremoniously onto the floor. -' "Copyrighted Material - 0 - - I Rev. and Mrs. Robert D.

FRISBIE, IV Help, I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up Editorial Deadline for Withdrawal Would Undermine Troops Every so often, a member of Congress will reach out for his 15 minutes of fame by suggesting that Congress set a deadline for withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. It may be an effective way of declaring frustration over mounting American casu- alties and slow progress in preparing lead- ers of a democratic Iraq to take control of their country's destiny. But declaration of a hard deadline for withdrawing troops from Iraq would send a clear message to the insurgents: Just hold on until such-and-such a date, and victory is yours. On that date, America will achieve what Richard Nixon called "peace with honor" in Vietnam by giving up and leaving. That would make the war in Iraq a mili- tary tragedy akin to the war in Vietnam. It would render all the American losses meaningless. We have never been comfortable with Bush's launching America's first pre-emp- tive war; we will leave it to history to make that judgment. But we remain committed to the notion that when American troops are committed to the battlefield, they must have the national resolve to see them through to vic- tory. Thus far, that resolve appears reason- ably intact, but proposals to withdraw troops by an arbitrary date undermine that concept. While the support of President Bush and the confidence in his leadership varies from poll to pol, we sense that the support for America's men and women in the armed forces in Iraq (and Afghanistan) remains strong. Our inability to locate and neutralize roadside bombs or "improvised explo- sive devices" is frustrating. Rocket pro- pelled grenades, an unsophisticated weapon akin to the bazooka of Korean War days, are used against our troops and our allies with devastating effectiveness. The "smart bombs" of Gulf War I are of little use in this war of insurgency. That said, let us not lose sight of the suc- cess of America and our allies: The regime of Saddam, Hussein was toppled in a matter of a few weeks. SSaddam was found hiding in a hole in the ground, and is being brought to trial. His two most sadistic sons were found and killed. Free elections have been held in the face of insurgent threats to slaughter all who dared to vote. A democratically-elected government is struggling to create representative gov- ernance in a land previously controlled by a ruthless dictatorship. Nation-building projects by the United States are creating schools and infrastructure on a daily basis. And perhaps most important, an Iraqi armed force is being trained, under American leadership, to defend a newly- free Iraq against insurgents. It hasn't been easy. Every American death is a tragedy; that is the grim reality of the cost of war. And it's not likely to get easier in the near future. But given the backing of the American people to see them through to victory, American troops will prevail. That goal can be achieved, but not if Congress announces that'on a given date, America will pull out of Iraq. Support for our troops means showing the same resolve at home that our troops show on the battlefield. Anything less is a supreme injustice to our soldiers.

Smoking is a tough habit to give up, and it can kill you. Motorcycle riding is fun, but I rode a motorcycle as a teenager, and I used up two gen- erations' worth of luck; I'm sorry, but I used up your share. Leonard Tyler had a Harley 165, if memory serves. Since his parents and mine have all gone on to their greater reward, I can now confess that we'd take that thing out on County Road 555, and he'd open it up. We would lean over to minimize wind resis- tance. The object was to see how far we could get the speedometer needle to go past 70 miles per hour and into the words "Harley Davidson" printed across the bot- tom of the speedometer. Like I said, I used up two gen- erations' worth of luck. On our vacation to Key West earlier this month, one of our objectives was to rent a small motor scooter and go tooling around the island. The typical scooter has a 40-cubic inch dis- placement engine, about one- fourth as powerful as Leonard's 165. With gasoline in Key West priced at about 20 cents higher than the mainland, and parking lots charging $10 a pop, a motor scooter, even at $75 plus tax for a 24-hour rental, makes at least a little bit of sense. Renting one at the age of 64, a mere 47 years after the last time I rode one ... well... that's a judg- ment call. The motor scooter rental guy, sporting large bandages over fresh abrasions on one knee and one elbow (pretty poor market- ing, if you ask me) had me sign a contract in which I certified that neither Mary nor I was pregnant, drunk, or ignorant of how dan- gerous a little motor scooter can be, even in laid-back Key West, where people actually observe the speed limit. "I'm a little rusty at this," I told my friend Mary. "Let me take a spin the length of the parking lot." Probably could have found a better term than "spin." After running the scooter only a little way into a viburnum hedge I don't think Bandage Guy was watching I told Mary she could get on the back while I took a much longer test drive in the mostly empty parking lot at the hotel next door. After one run around the course, I told her that since our children should have at least one able-bodied parent, she should get off while I practiced some more. I soloed for 20 minutes or so, and then let her back on for the better part of half an hour. It's amazing the bond of trust that can develop in 41 years and 50 weeks of marriage. The problem with my 45 min- utes of practice is that it involved twists and turns, accelerating and slowing, but no stopping and starting. As long as we were moving, we were ... well... moving. The trick to stopping one of these little suckers is that you have to put your feet down just as the scooter comes to a full stop, and before your passenger's foot rests hit you in the Achilles ten- dons. It takes a few whacks to master that skill. I managed the scooter pretty well until the first time that I tried to start from a stop sign and make a right turn simultaneously. It's a simple maneuver in my van; it's a little tricky on a scooter. Fortunately, my right foot pro- tected the scooter, on which I had declined $25 for insurance cover- age, as it tipped over and hit the pavement. And fortunately, Mary was able to shift her weight and remain standing, straddling the overturned scooter. Unfortunately, she was no able to climb off the scooted which put me in the "Help, I'vt fallen and I can't get up" mode. The nice young man in the ca behind us was joined moment later by another young man wh( had witnessed our dilemma. They were helpful and non judgmental as they helped Mary step free and lifted the motorcy- cle from my foot. Over the course of nearly five hours of tooling around Key West, less an hour for a world class lunch at A&B Lobster House, I managed to keep the scooter upright. It wasn't always pretty; I won't be auditioning for the remake of "Easy Rider." Mary asked me if riding a scooter after all these years made me feel younger. I assured her that I felt every day of my 64 years. As I told Mary at the end of the day, it's sort of like when I rap- pelled out of a helicopter at Camp Blanding: I'm glad I did it once; I'm not sure I'd pay a dime to do it again. But on reflection, it was fun. The motor scooter, my right foot, and our marriage all sur- vived intact. That says something about the durability of all three.

BARTOW I am all for growth and beautification of our city, but I, like many other con- cerned citizens of Bartow, believe that the people who make these decisions for Bartow need to look at the big picture before they these decisions. The new developments are going to presentfsome problems that some may not have thought about such as the effect that this many new people will have on our insurance rates. The more people you have in ar area, the more police and fire protection are needed. If this is not compen- sated then our area will receive a higher rate. On these lines we also have to remember that without the extra fire and police protection, our city is left with a void and protection may not be available when and where needed. And on to the water issues, we have had for many years prob- lems with our water pressure, and with all the new develop- ments going in, these new resi- dents will need water and thus our pressure decreases even more. Another example of improper planning is the widening of the sidewalks on Main Street. First of all, after the construction is com- plete, if you are on Main Street and are waiting to make a left or a right hand turn but there is a vehicle in front of you that wish- es to make a left hand turn which is having to wait for oncoming traffic to clear, then you could be waiting for quite some time. Widening the sidewalks is to whose benefit? The only busi- nesses that are on that end of the street are antique dealers and restaurants which most of them are closed in the evenings. Patrons will steer clear of the area one because there is no parking in the area and because it will be even more difficult to maneuver around on the streets .with the traffic problem that will be pre- sent. In lieu of spending the money for the sidewalks to bring in business, give businesses an incentive they can't refuse such as improving the buildings and parking in that area which is what customers want to see when they go shopping. I believe there are many other things the City can look to for spending our money on, like water pressure, drainage, better roads, and more police and fire protection before spending money to "make us look pretty" and bring more people to town when we cannot properly sup- port and protect the people that are already here. CHERYL STEELE "Copyrighted Material 4 Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" #01"A kWO zl ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES / By PAT BLAKE SIMS Read the Labels Just because I live alone does- n't mean that I should survive on junk food, bananas, peanut but- ter, and bologna sandwiches. It is monotonous to prepare food for one, so I take short cuts at the grocery store and avail myself of bags of salad mix and fruit. Yesterday, I bought some salad in it's own little plastic coffin. When I got home, I put away the dog food, bird seed and other essentials. . The salad mix looked like an adventure waiting to happen. In minuscule, tiny print on the label, it listed everything that the salad contained. I thought I would have to go buy a magnify- ing glass to read it. "A varying mixture of season- al greens that contains red romaine, green romaine, red leaf lettuce, green mustard, baby spinach, lolla rosa, red chard, radicchio, mizuna, red mustard, arugula, tat soi, frisee, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, grape tomatoes, bell pepper (red, yel- low, green, orange), mushrooms, green onions, radishes, cucumber and baby cut carrots." That is absolutely true no joke here. I consider myself a fairly sophisticated person and decided to have this salad for dinner. It looked crisp, colorful and, well, "strange." Upon closer inspec- tion, after switching to my read- ing glasses, I noticed things in it that looked like they were put in there to test my derring-do. I tried to locate the lolla rosa, mizuna and the tat soi in particu- lar. There was some curly looking stuff in a bunch that could be the frisee and some red splattered sort of cabbage. I used to love to visit my grandfather Magill on his farm in LaBelle, Florida, when I was a- child. They knew what made up a salad lettuce, tomatoes, .onions, and cucumbers. If there was something in the, salad that we didn't recognize, we got rid of it. If it moved, we picked it out and threw it in the; garbage. No funny business there.

The winners were Don Bosko, Beef O' Brady's Family Sports Pub, Lakeland; Lester Scaff, Scaffs Inc. (dba S & S Food Stores and Scaffs Markets), Lake City; and Guy J. Merry, Merry Jewelers, Inc., Eustis. They will be honored and re- ceive their awards at a luncheon being held in conjunction with the University of Florida's na- tionally acclaimed "Retailing Smarter" symposium on Thurs- day, June 23, at 12:30 p.m. at the Omni Orlando Resort at Champions Gate in Orlando. In its seventh year, the award program recognizes retailers who have successfully blended business skills with commitment to their customers, communities, employees and the state's retail industry. A selection committee of retail business operators, edu- cators, media representatives and other industry officials chose the recipients from a pool of re- tailer nominees from across the state. "From providing jobs and col- lecting sales tax for the state to community outreach and philan- thropic endeavors, retailers pro- vide a firm foundation that posi- tively benefits the citizens and communities in which they live and do business," says Richard A. McAllister, FRF's president and CEO. "Our outstanding ROYAL recipients reflect just a few of Florida's many fine retail- ers who are making a positive difference in their communities everyday." Don Bosko, Beef O' Brady's - Family Sports Pub, Lakeland, $1 million to $10 million category: Don Bosko opened his first busi- ness, a Beef O' Brady's in Lake- land in 1991. Assisted by his wife, Linda, and the couple's four children, Bosko has watched their business grow from one lo- cation that took in only $75 dur- ing lunch on the opening day, to six successful restaurants in three counties, including one in Bartow. From such organiza- tions as Toys for Tots and the March of Dimes to sponsoring a number of sports teams, Bosko credits the company's growth to being involved with the commu- nities they serve. Lester Scaff, Scaffs Inc., Lake City, more than $10 mil- lion category: In 1961, Lester Scaff, along with his wife, Anne, financed their first S & S Food Store complete with groceries, meat and produce. Nearly 45 years later, the couple still has that first Lake City superette plus two grocery stores and more than 40 convenience stores lo- cated in eight counties through- out North Florida. Committed to Obituaries It is time for employers to again compete for the Best Places to Work and Spirit of the Family Awards. Applications are now avail- able for businesses to be recog- nized for taking the lead in de- veloping quality workplaces to ensure their competitiveness for a skilled workforce. Each year, Best Places to Work awards recognize the com- panies in Polk County which are the most innovative in' the areas of motivating and retaining em- ployees, training and develop- ment initiatives and workplace practices which includes commit- ment to work/life issues. This is the third year for this award, sponsored by Polk Works WorkForce 2020. The 2004 winners were Car- gill Crop Nutrition, Lakeland Regional Medical Center, Polk County Board of County Com- missioners, Lockheed Martin Fi- nancial Services and GEICO.com. The annual Spirit of the Fam- ily award honors businesses from both Polk and Hardee coun- Senators Mel Martinez (R-FL) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) have reit- erated their pledge to fight any and all efforts to include an oil/ natural gas inventory provision in the energy bill currently un- der consideration in Congress. Senator Martinez said mo- mentum is on Florida's side, but the fight is far from over. "My goal is to arrive at inven- tory language that leaves Flor- ida alone," said Senator Marti- nez. "Florida's lawmakers have worked long and hard to build protections. The inventory lan- guage that's currently in the bill weakens those protections and must go." The inventory provision, authored by U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), requires an in- ventory of all oil and natural gas resources on the Outer Conti- nental Shelf. Congress has rejected this sort of inventory in the past be- cause it is duplicative of previous inventories and harmful to the environment. The Mineral Management ties that provide family friendly policies and family oriented workplaces. Winners of this award demon- strate their commitment to pro- viding policies that improve the quality of life of their employees by helping them balance their work and family commitments. United Way's Success by 6 devel- oped this award in 2001. The 2004 winners% were Car- gill Crop Nutriti-,n ,large com- pany), Lo:kh-ed Martin Finan- cial Servic-, in medium and Healthy Familiesi small i. The same application is used for both of the awards. The ap- plication is on-line at www.polk- works. org/workforce2020. After starting the application, you can return to it with the use of a password assigned after the first section is completed. When a business -applies for the awards, it can choose to ap- ply for just the Spirit of the Fam- ily or for both awards. All businesses that complete the full application will receive the results of an employee satis- faction survey completed by Service (MMS) already provides an estimate of undiscovered con- ventionally and economically re- coverable oil and natural gas re- serves in the Outer Continental Shelf. "Why would we waste time and money and harm our natu- ral resources to inventory an area we do not want drilled?" said Senator Martinez. 'The cost for a new inventory could sur- pass a billion dollars and I think that's a huge waste." The proposed inventory would be harmful to marine habitat and fishing interests because it calls for seismic 3-D exploration surveys that produce powerful, repetitive explosions in the wa- ter. Florida's senators have been successful in ensuring no OCS provisions would be included in the Senate energy bill that will in any way impact the federal moratorium protections that Florida's Gulf currently enjoys. The U.S. Senate returns to consideration of the energy bill next week. Make this dream a reality. p ',~~i ..qftA t. '-.

With their season-best sev- enth-straight win, the Gators need one more victory to reach next weekend's best-of-three championship series. "What an outstanding ball game," said Florida Head Coach Pat McMahon. "What an out- standing environment. I'm very proud of the way we competed all the way to the end. Both clubs competed their hearts out tonight." Senior Jeff Corsaletti (Port Charlotte) tied an NCAA College World Series record with three doubles and finished 4-for-5 with three runs and two RBIs, while sophomore Adam Davis (Fort Myers) connected on a two-run homer in the opening stanza. .Junior pitcher Darren O'Day (Jacksonville) was brilliant in re- lief of senior Tommy Boss (Dun- nellon), holding the Huskers scoreless for 4.1 innings to im- prove to 8-3 on the campaign. "Darren O'Day was outstand- ing. He threw strikes and he competed. He had a tremendous look in his eyes," said McMahon. The Gators jumped out to a 2- 0 lead in the top of the first on Davis 11th home run of the sea- son. Corsaletti had opened the game with a double down the right-field line, his team-leading 16th two-bagger of the year. Davis sent Dorn's next pitch over the wall in right to put Florida on the scoreboard first. "We were happy to be the away team because we wanted to start early and set the tone," Corsaletti said. "We had 26,000 people get quiet in a hurry. We couldn't have scripted a better start." The Gators erupted for four runs on three hits and a Husker error in the fifth to seize a 7-2 lead. Junior Justin Tordi (Or- lando) reached on a fielding er- ror to start things off and junior Stephen Barton beat out an in- field hit to give the Gators two runners aboard. Corsaletti cleared the bases with his third double of the game to increase the margin to 5-2. He became the seventh player in CWS history to have three dou- bles in an outing. After Davis grounded out, La- Porta was walked intentionally with two down. The move back- fired when Jeroloman rifled his llth double to left field to bring across two more runs for a 7-2 Gator advantage. When asked about allowing the first two runners on base in the fifth, Nebraska Head Coach Mike Anderson said, "It was big. That's a mental letdown that happened. People who have seen us play this year know that hasn't happened. "They didn't produce a run on that play, but give them credit for driving in a run. You can't give extra outs." Nebraska would add two more runs in the final innings, but that would be all for a 7-4 final. The Huskers, who saw an end to their 11-game winning streak, will next face Arizona State (40- 24) in an elimination game on Tuesday afternoon. The Sun Devils ousted Tennessee earlier Sunday, 4-2, after scoring three runs in the eighth inning. The Gators will meet either ASU or Nebraska at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, live on ESPN.

At the February meeting of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), commissioners approved changing the Spring Creek Unit of the Big Bend Wildlife Man- agement Area (WMA) from a dog hunt area to a still hunt area. Because of that loss of public land available for deer-dog hunt- ing, commissioners were asked to consider allowing deer-dog hunting on the Tide Swamp Unit of the Big Bend Wildlife Man- agement Area (WMA), located in Taylor County. The commission- ers directed staff to determine if the change was feasible. The first step in the process was to send letters to everyone who had applied for a quota hunt permit on the Tide Swamp or Spring Creek units for the 2004-2005 season. The letter, sent to more than 650 hunters, explained the process and re- quested input. The letter was posted on the FWC website and news releases went out state- wide to obtain an indication of the public position on the issue. As of June 6, FWC has re- ceived 128 letters. Of those, 118 (92 percent) requested that Tide Swamp remain a still hunt area. Letters from 10 people (eight percent) requested some type of dog hunting. Staff also received petitions with 14 signatures re- questing that dog hunting be al- lowed and petitions with 27 sig- natures requesting that the area remain still hunt. Two open house meetings have been scheduled for inter- ested members of the public to review and discuss the results of the "Request for Comments" mailing. The first meeting is June 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Hotel, 3705 Spectrum Blvd., in Tampa. The second will be June 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Steinhatchee Community Center, 1013 River- side Drive in Steinhatchee. "We were looking for public input on this issue and encour- age all persons interested to please attend one of these meet- ings," said John Ault, FWC North Central Regional Public Hunting Areas Coordinator. "FWC is aware there are hunters who oppose allowing deer-dog hunting on the Tide Swamp Unit and others who support it. Eve- ryone's views on this issue are important to the Commission. No one is excluded from the op- portunity to provide input, even if you didn't apply for a quota hunt permit on either area." The FWC staff is planning to make a presentation to the Com- missioners on this issue at the "Commission Meeting" sched- uled for Sept. 21-22 meeting in St. Petersburg. The planned presentation will include a sum- mary of comments as well as staff recommendations. Anyone who is unable to at- tend the open houses may send comments on this issue to: John Ault, Regional Public Hunting Areas Coordinator, Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission, 3377 E. U.S. Highway 90, Lake City, FL 32055. The public can also provide comment via e-mail to karen. parker@myfwc.com.

Feral Pigs Cause Problems In Florida By CHUCK WOODS University of Florida Florida's population boom now includes 500,000 vild hogs whose piggish habits are causing problems for farmers, residents and health officials as well as native flora and fauna. "Nothing personal, but the only state with more wild hogs than Florida is Texas," said Bill Giuliano, an assistant professor of wildlife ecology at the Univer- sity of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Wild or feral hogs can now be found in every Florida county and in at least 35 states in- cluding one to two million hogs in the Southeast. Nationwide, their population totals about three million. ."Because they are prolific breeders, there is no.way to com- pletely eradicate them," Giuliano said. "Even with intensive hunt- ing pressure, you're not going to get rid of them." He said the problem can be traced to 1539 when Hernando DeSoto brought hogs into south- west Florida, and some of them found freedom in the New World. Nearly 500 years later, there are some three million descen- dants of these "pioneer pigs" across the nation. In Florida, some of the high- est densities of feral hogs can be found north and west of Lake -Okeechobee where large forested tracts, dense vegetation, abun- dant water and limited public ac- cess provide an ideal environ- ment for the pigs. Hog numbers tend to be lower in areas with in- tensive agriculture or urban de- velopment, "Although they are a popular target for hunters, wild hogs are coming into conflict with people and wildlife," Giuliano said. " Farmers are not happy when fe- ral hogs root up their fields, and health officials say the animals carry diseases that could affect wildlife, livestock and people." Giuliano, who conducts re- search on the animals with George Tanner, a professor in the UF wildlife ecology and con- Use on suitcases, briefcases, cameras, any item that needs an identification tag.

Made While You Wait at The Democrat 190 South Florida Ave. Bartow or The Leader 25 West Broadway, Fort Meade (12"x 18" not available in Fort Meade.) fro $1to$5,baed n ize servation department, said hogs can also host many diseases and parasites, including hog cholera, psuedorabies, brucellosis, tuber- culosis, salmonellosis, anthrax, ticks, fleas, lice and various flukes and worms. "Wild hogs, which usually weigh 100 to 200 pounds, are dangerous," Giuliano said. "Al- though they prefer to run and es- cape danger, they can be aggres- sive when they're injured or cor- nered. They can move with great speed and can cause serious in- jury with their tusks." Acorns are their favorite food, but they will eat almost any- thing, including dead animals, and it seems like they're always looking for opportunities, he said. When natural foods are scarce or inaccessible, hogs will forage on almost any agricul- tural crop and livestock feed. They also will feed on tree seeds and seedlings, causing sig- nificant damage in forests, groves and plantations. In Flor- ida and the Southeast, this may be a problem in regenerating long-leaf pine forests. In addition to the effects of consuming, knocking down and trampling large amounts of na- tive vegetation and crops, the rooting behavior of wild hogs causes significant damage, Giuli- ano said. Rooting digging for foods below the surface of the ground destabilizes the soil surface, uprooting or weakening native vegetation, damaging lawns and causing erosion. Their wallowing behavior de- stroys small ponds and stream banks, which may affect water quality. They also prey upon ground-nesting wildlife, includ- ing sea turtles. "Wild hogs compete for food with other game animals such as deer, turkeys and squirrels, and they may consume the nests and young of many reptiles, ground- nesting birds and mammals," he said. "With their fine sense of smell, wild hogs can find and consume young domestic live- stock, including poultry, lambs and goats. Millions of dollars are spent each year to prevent dam- age from hogs." Tanner said it may be possi- ble to limit further population expansion by hunting, various trapping methods and exclusion. "Hunting is an important con- trol method for wild hogs be- cause it provides recreational op- portunities," he said. "Baited hog traps may be more successful than hunting, especially when the animals are nocturnally ac- tive. The traps should be strong enough to contain large hogs and have tall walls or a wire roof to prevent them from escaping. "And remember that hogs are powerful animals that are easily excited when trapped." Fencing is an effective but ex- pensive control option for a small area such as a garden, but hogs are intelligent and resourceful animals that often find ways through many types of fences, Tanner said.. Chain link fences buried at least 12 inches under the ground with heavy supports and posts, and various types of mesh or multi-stranded electric fence provide the best results.
