Appellate Court Rules In Favor Of Mosaic


By MICHAEL KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate
A federal appellate court in
Atlanta has dismissed an in-
junction against Mosaic's South
Fort Meade Mine extension and
returned the lawsuit to the U.S.



Mortgage


Assistance


Available
By JIM KELLY
Of The Herald-Advocate
Applications for a pair of
mortgage assistance programs
begin Monday morning at 9
a.m.
The Florida Housing Finance
Corp. has announced that there
is $1 billion in federal funds to
help- needy Florida residents
make up their mortgage pay-
ments.
To qualify, people have to be
behind on their mortgage pay-
ments because of unemploy-
ment or underemployment
(they are not making what they
did in their former jobs), or fac-
tors such as disability, divorce
or the death of a family mem-
ber, which has changed the
available income.
Applications can be obtained
at the Office of Community
Development, Room 201,
Courthouse Annex I, 412 W.
Orange St., Wauchula (phone
773-6349) or at line
www.Floridahousing.org.
While the available dollars
are estimated to help up to
40,000 Florida residents, it will
be first-come, first served, so
getting applications in early is
important.
For the unemployed, the
Unemployed Mortgage Assis-
tance Program can provide up
to $12,000 to pay monthly
mortgage and escrow mort-
gage-related expenses for up to
six months or until the home-
maker 'can resume making
mortgage payments.
The Mortgage Loan Rein-
statement Payment Program is
to help people who have gotten
behind on their mortgage pay-
ments. It is for people who are
in arrears not more than six
months from the date of appli-
cation. It can provide up to
$6,000 to bring the homeown-
er's mortgage current.
Both programs require home-
owners to do what they can,
contribute at least $70 or 25
percent of their monthly income
toward their indebtedness.

District Court in Jacksonville,
where the proceedings began
last June.
The U.S. Court of Appeals
for the 11th Circuit set aside the
preliminary injunction on Fri-
day, ruling that Judge Henry


Lee Adams Jr. had based his
decision on letters from the
Environmental Protection
Agency without having a full
report, from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
"Based on the limited record


before us, and the lack of
response from the Corps on
appeal, we are presently no bet-
ter equipped to resolve this dis-
pute than was the district
court," the federal appellate
judges said.


The current injunction will
remain in effect for 90 days,
however, to give Adams a
chance to gather more informa-
tion and possibly hold another
hearing between the Corps and
Mosaic and the three plaintiffs,

Hardee Site Of Cancer Stu(


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Hardee County has been chosen.
It is one of only six locations among the 359 in Florida'
hosting American Cancer Society Relay for Life events.
Residents between the ages of 30 and 65 have a unique op-
portunity to help find out what causes cancer by being part of
a long-term cancer research study called CPS-3 (Cancer
Prevention Study-3.)
People of every racial or ethnic background who have
never been diagnosed with cancer are welcome and, in fact,
encouraged to sign up. Do it in honor of someone lost to can-
cer, or so you or someone else may not get cancer.
All it takes is a commitment.

Kelly's Column
By Jim


Wilbur Robertson, 78, has farmed all his life. "When you farm
you are living on the edge of being broke all the time."
He and his family are growing about 100 acres of watermelons
in addition to a U-pick vegetable farm. The last two years have
been bad for watermelons.
In 2009 a broker stiffed him for most of the crop. In 2010 a.
series of freezes resulted in his watermelon harvest beginning at the
same time as north Florida and south Georgia, resulting in low
prices.
On Friday, April 29, at 7 p.m. the Robertson family will host
the 7th Annual Music At the Melon Barn on Johnston Road three
miles south of Hwy. 66 east of Zolfo Springs. Admission is free.
Bring a lawn chair.
There will be patriotic, gospel, and country and western music.
Cracker cowboys sitting around a fire will be honored. There will
be special guests, a tribute to the American military forces, and a
bounce house for the children.
"This is family-oriented and God-centered. We will honor
America, the military, Florida cattle history and Christianity."
Wilbur said the Robertson Farm's project is for'the communi-
ty to come together and enjoy fellowship'as friends and neighbors.
Last year's event drew about 600 people. "'
Last Friday night at the First Christian Church which hosted
Sherry Miller's Heartland Chorale Precious Memories event Rob-
ertson compared his crop size with Bowling Green's Jimmy Parker,
another farmer who has had hard luck the last two or three years.
Robertson said his melons are now the size of cantalopes and
Parker said his are the size of grapefruit. Sounds like an even race
to hit the market in early May.

Former Wauchula resident Carol Brush Cowling will display
her acrylic paintings Friday at the annual arts and crafts show at
Heritage Park in Wauchula as part of Friday Night Live. Some of
her paintings depict the Florida Cracker Trail cattle drives.
Carol was a writer and reporter for The Herald-Advocate for
about 10 years. The Winter Haven resident paints under the name
of Scarlet. She often uses recycled canvas and frames to keep costs
down.

The Florida Baptist Children's Homes based in Lakeland
reports a child's first five years.of life are the most important in his
or her physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development.
"In fact, a child's foundational beliefs about themselves, fam-
ily, friends, authority, the world, and God are significantly formed
before they even enter school."
The foundation of faith begins when a baby's cries of hunger
are satisfied by the mother. A child learns trust by the provider fur-
nishing food, comfort, loving touch and security. Learning to trust
people in their world is important for a child to later develop trust
in God. Children have many teachable moments, reports FBCH.
John and Eileen Sala, who have a prison and teaching ministry
based in Sebring called Little Lambs Inc., report some children
grow up with a false belief system of self-hate. Some are neglect-
ed and abused and believed they were defective, no good, failures,
dirty and deserved ill treatment.
These children bought into the lies of the enemy and accepted
false beliefs about themselves. Voices' in their head replay the
script: "I am what I am, I cannot change, I am bad, I am unlovable,
no one will love me enough to meet my needs, and because my
addiction is my greatest nepd, I am really unlovable."
These false belief systems are at the root of many various
addictions and life-controlling problems. The persons God intend-
ed them to be is covered with a mask of who Satan is telling them
they are and need to be to meet their needs, write the Sala couple.
John Sala is a former alcoholic and drug addict who spent time
in jails and prisons before turning his life over to Christianity and
beginning his ministry of helping people in trouble.

The environmental groups
sued Mosaic and the Corps last
year over the issuance of min-
ing permits.
Environmentalists claim ir-
reparable harm will be done to
the Peace River and wetlands,
while Mosaic contends the per-
mits were issued correctly and
were in full compliance with
the Clean Water Act.
Dennis Mader, president of
3PR, said the ruling would not
deter the environmental groups.


He compared the legal proceed-
ings to a boxing match, and said
each side has now won one
round.
Mosaic began mining a small
portion of the 10,583-acre ex-
tension into Hardee County in
SDecember, after reaching a par-
tial settlement with the environ-
mental groups.
The settlement allowed Mo-
saic and its subcontractors to
bring back employees who
were laid off shortly after the
injunction was issued.

letter to the editor
March, 2011
Dear Editor:
It's often far too easy to underestimate the importance of cancer research...until you hear
the words "you have cancer."
Those three words can make all the difference between simply absorbing news about
developments in cancer research and truly appreciating the power of what scientists like
those funded by the American Cancer Society do each and every day.
This summer scientists aren't the only ones who will be making a difference. At this
year's Relay For Life of Hardee County, residents of our community will have a once-in-
a-generation opportunity to enroll in the American Cancer Society's third Cancer
Prevention Study which seeks to help us better understand the factors that cause or
prevent cancer.
Individuals between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer
and who are willing to make a long-term commitment to the study will be able to enroll
at the Relay For Life of Hardee County on Saturday, April 30t, 2011 from 12:00 noon to
4:00 pm only.
I encourage all eligible men and women in our community to consider taking part in this
important study.
I also call on my fellow cancer survivors to spread the word by asking friends and family
to enroll in your honor.
Remember: Research being done today will help ensure future generations never have to
hear those dreaded three words.
Sincerely,
Sheila Johns

sign-up includes an informed consent form, a brief written
survey, a waist measurement and a blood sample (taken by a
person trained to do this).
A longer survey will go home with you for step two, infor-
mation on lifestyle, family history, activities and other fac-
tors related to your health. You will be asked to update these
surveys every few years.
The idea is to find connections between how people live
and whether they get cancer. Already, scientists know the
effects of cigarette smoking and/or second-hand smoke on a
peoples' health and their risk of cancer.
Other considerations under study are on air pollution,
genetics (your family connections) and whether overweight
people are more prone to get cancer.
Some studies began in the 1950s, and others have taken
place periodically through the years since then. This new
study will involve a whole new group of people, you includ-
ed, whose information will help lead to more answers in
ways to prevent cancer.
Relay for Life is an annual American Cancer Society event
and overnight campout, because "cancer never sleeps."
There are fun activities and competitions between teams, and
ceremonies honoring cancer survivors, and those who have
lost their lives to cancer.
Begun as a way to get people involved, the grassroots
movement now involves over 5,000 communities nation-
wide, raising millions of dollars for cancer research and
assistance to people battling cancer.
Research aims to help people stay well, get well after a
cancer diagnosis, find cures and fight back by joining in
research, such as this study, that will eventually wipe out the
disease.

with boiling water for that chore.

HEALTHY EATING & DIABETES
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects people's lives on a
daily basis. It is the most expensive of the chronic diseases.
With rising obesity rates, the number of people with diabetes
continues to grow, but lifestyle choices can help people reduce
their risk for diabetes. One of those lifestyle choices is learning to
eat healthy by making some dietary changes. Here are a few to
choose from:
1.) Choose low-fat foods. Limit the amount of fat you eat by
choosing more low-fat foods such as:
Beans (pinto, black and kidney)
Fruits and vegetables
Low-fat milk, cheese and yogurt
Lean meats (round, sirloin and loin), fish and skinless
poul try
2.) Limit salt and sodium. Reduce your consumption of salt
and high-sodium foods such as canned and other processed foods.
Here are a few easy steps you can take to limit your sodium intake
from food.
Buy vegetables that are fresh, plain frozen, or canned with
no salt added.
Use fresh poultry, fish and lean meats instead of the
canned or packaged options.
Cut back on frozen dinners, canned soups and salad
dressings.
Rinse canned beans and vegetables to wash away some
of the added salt.
Limit the amount of salt you add to your food. Instead,
use lemon and herbs and spices such as garlic, dill,
rosemary, basil, chives and red pepper flakes to give
your food zest!
3.) Add fiber. To keep "regular" and reduce your risk for some
of the complications associated with diabetes, choose more high-
fiber foods. The following are just a few examples of high-fiber
foods. Be sure to choose healthy foods that you and your family
enjoy!
Fruits and vegetables such as pears, apples, grapes,
berries, peas, carrots, greens and sweet potatoes.
Whole-grain foods such as oatmeal, brown rice,
whole-wheat breads and pastas.
Beans such as black, red, pinto, lima and lentils.
4.) Control the carbohydrates. Limit your intake of foods high
in sugar such as cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, honey, chocolate
and sugary beverages. These are all simple carbohydrates.
Choose your carbohydrates from the fruits, vegetables and
grains groups, plus beans and nuts. Spread your carbohydrate
intake across the day. This will help you control your portion sizes
and give you more flexibility when planning your meals. Consult a
registered dietitian to learn more about foods that contain complex
carbohydrates and how to include them in your meal plan.
5.) Choose healthy and tasty snacks. Choose snacks that con-
tain only small amounts of added fats and sugars. Foods that are
rich in protein and those that have complex carbohydrates such as
fruits, nuts, vegetables and whole-grain foods will leave you feel-
ing satisfied and fuller longer. Here are some snack ideas:
Low-fat cottage cheese and fruit
Low-fat yogurt with granola and fruit
Vegetables and hummus
Unbuttered air-popped popcorn
One hard-boiled egg and whole-grain crackers
6.) Alcohol in moderation. If you drink alcohol, consume no
more than one drink (for women) or two drinks (for men) per day.
One drink is: ...
5 ounces of wine, or
12 ounces of regular beer, or
1-1/2 ounces of liquor
It's best to drink alcohol with food, not by itself. Always
check with your pharmacist about possible interactions alcohol
may have with your medications.
In summary, remember to enjoy a variety of foods from each
food group every day. This allows you to consume a balanced diet
full of the essential nutrients your body needs. Variety is the spice
of life!
Also, work with a registered dietitian (RD) to create a flexible
meal plan for you.
Next month's column will be about taking care of yourself
from head to toe if you are diabetic. You can contact the American
Diabetes Association at 1-800-342-2383 (1-800-Diabetes) for more

8A The Herald-Advocate, April 14.2011


rNutrition Wisel
KAREN COLLINS, MS, RD, CDN
AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR
CANCER RESEARCH


Q: Is it true that it is more
beneficial for older people to
walk at a brisk pace than at a
regular walking pace?
A: ,Your question relates to
news reports about research that
links longer life expectancy
with faster walking speed.
These large studies of adults -
mostly those age 65 and older -
do link faster speed while walk-
ing a short test distance with
longer life. Other indicators of
physical function, such as grip
strength and ability to rise from
a chair, also show this link. But
researchers say faster walking
and these other physical func-
tions are a marker that can help
to separate more frail elderly
from healthier elderly, which
can be important in making var-
ious healthcare decisions.
Walking speed is affected by
muscle strength, heart furiction,
balance and more, all of which
relate to various aspects of
health. Optimal walking speed
varies with individuals, espe-
cially as we age and we know
that people "age" at different
rates. Walking is a good exer-
cise for all of us, promoting
weight control and providing
direct benefits to lower risk of
heart disease and cancer.
Walking at a brisk pace means


that in the same amount of time
you burn more calories than
walking at a slower pace, and
thus does more to assist weight
control. A pace brisk enough for
an individual to feel their heart
rate a little elevated may bring
additional health benefits, too,
though how fast that pace is
will vary among individuals.
One study of older adults
showed that over 10 years,
those who improved their phys-
ical fitness with regular exer-
cise were less likely to show
increases in blood pressure,
blood triglycerides or insulin
levels.
For now though, researchers
note that walking speed is more
clearly one indicator of health
status, rather than a target to
improve health. Whatever their
pace of walking, federal guide-
lines advise older adults to
"avoid an inactive lifestyle:" the
less we do; the less we become
able to do.
Q: Can the plant-based diet
you so often recommend real-
ly provide enough protein?
A: Yes, people sometimes think
of protein as only coming from
meat and dairy products, but we
also get protein from plant
foods. Beans, nuts and seeds are
the most concentrated sources


of plant protein, and they pro-
vide fiber, magnesium, potassi-
um and natural protective phy-
tochemicals. Grains and vegeta-
bles also supply small amounts
of protein that add up when you
make them a major part of your
meals. As you eat less of the
animal sources of protein, keep
in mind the need for balance. If
you eat very little meat, you
can't just eat a rice cake and
plain salad and assume you've
met nutrient needs. As you shift
the balance of plant and animal
foods on your plate, look for
places you can include beans
(in salads, soups, casseroles and
more). And it's one of many
reasons to switch from snacks
of chips or cookies to protein-
and nutrient-rich nuts and
seeds. A mostly plant-based diet
that includes five to six ounces
a day of lean poultry, fish or
meat and three servings of dairy
products or alternatives will
meet the protein requirements
of most adults. Analysis of eat-
ing patterns suggested in the
2010 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans shows that if you
prefer to omit or further mini-
mize meat or dairy products,
you will also get protein well
above the Dietary Reference
Intake (RDI) if each day you
include about three servings of
vegetarian sources of protein
like beans, nuts and seeds. One
serving of beans is 1/2 cup;
seeds and nuts are 1 ounce each.


In hard times, early col-
leges in the U.S. were
forced to accept payments
such as cotton, sheep,
pewter, and food rather
than hard currency.

to the Monterey Bay Aquarium,
when you get barramundi from

can be served with a simple
squirt of lemon juice to accent

KATIE & I ARE HUNTING THIS WEEKEND!
Back in November, my girlfriend, Katie Hughes, and I each
applied for 2011 spring turkey quota hunt permits. Katie has never
bagged a turkey before, so I really want her to have an opportuni-
ty to get one.
I was hoping the "guest permit" would increase the odds of us
being able to hunt together. If I got drawn, we would obtain a guest
permit in her name, and if she got drawn, she would take me as her
guest. .,
I was not successful this year in drawing a spring turkey quota
permit, but I am happy to report that Katie was, drawing the week-
end of April 15-17 on L. Kirk Edwards Wildlife and Environmental
Area in Tallahassee.
For those who didn't get drawn, missed the application period
or want even more hunting opportunities, the Florida Fish &
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has 42 wildlife man-
agement areas where you don't need a quota permit to hunt during
all or parts of the spring turkey season. All you need in most cases
is a hunting license ($17 for residents), a management area permit
.($26) and a turkey permit ($10 for residents). On a few of them,
you also need a daily quota or daily use permit, both of which are
free and given out at the management areas' check stations on a
first-come, first-served basis. For a list of these 42 WMAs, go to
MyFWC.com/Hunting.
Hunting spring turkeys on WMAs.is much like hunting them
on private property, except for a couple of things. The first excep-
tion is that you may not shoot a turkey past 1 p.m. on a WMA. On
private lands, you may hunt them until sunset. The other thing I
need to mention doesn't have anything to-do with legal require-
ments, but is arguably more important,.and that is that you don't
know who else is hunting around you on a WMA.
On private property, you may be the only person hunting a par-
ticular small tract of land. In the case of a hunting club or large
piece of leased property, you might have to stay within a designat-
ed area or you mark where you're going to be hunting that day on
the camp's check-in map. That way, everyone knows where every-
one else is going to be.
On WMAs, however,; you don't have that luxury, so you
should take even more proactive steps to ensure safe hunting. The
FWC and National Wild Turkey Federation stress to hunters to
always positively identify your target before pulling the trigger.
Here are a few things you can do to help prevent such unwant-
ed incidents:
Some of the turkey hunters you're likely to Aun into out there
are so good at their "calling" that it's sometimes hard to tell'f it's
a nearby hunter making those sounds or if it's the real thing.
Always assume such questionable sounds and movements are
being made by another hunter, until you can positively identify the
source.
SAnd if you do come across another turkey hunter, and you're;
not sure if he sees you, wave your arms qnd whistle,jor say some-
thing loud enough for him to hear you, tb announce your presence.
Speaking of turkey calling, there's one turkey call I plan on leav-!
ing at home, and that's my gobble tube. I don't mind other hunters
thinking there may be a crow, owl or hen turkey nearby, but I sure
don't want to be shaking a gobble tube (imitating a gobbler) in the
brush and have any hunters within hearing distance start heading
my way or, worse yet, make a hunter within gunshot range think
there's a big tom in the bushes.
While I might be leaving that gobble tube behind, one other
thing we will be bringing and using, even though it's not required,
is hunter-orange vests. We plan to wear them when we walk to and
from the truck and any set-up points. As soon as we settle in and
get in position, we'll remove them and place them out of sight of
any approaching turkey.
As a safety precaution, the NWTP urges hunters not to stalk
turkeys. But, if Katie and I decide to pick up and go after a bird we
hear that may be "henned up" and not responding to our calls -- in
order to get better position on him you can bet we'll both be
wearing our orange vests.
Good luck and be safe out there, y'all.

Mountain Moment
By Karla Patarini


THE GUARDIAN ANGEL
The sun shone brightly on the silky black hair that lay softly
against the frame of her small gentle face. She walked slowly and
stopped often to gaze at the intriguing machinery and aircraft that
surrounded her, entrancing her into a world of giddy excitement.
The rainbow of colors that surrounded her caught her attention
as bright yellow, orange and blue,"garnet and gold, and fluorescent
pinks sparkled in the bright sunlight.
Her awestruck eyes fixed upon a set of propeller blades as they
spun and whirred with great speed, watching it in wonder as it pre-
pared for its initial takeoff. The rattle of noisy engines filled the air
with a loud roar as several pilots made their entrance oiito the taxi-
way as they prepared for their departure into the crisp' blue of the
afternoon sky.
The rattling propellers and noisy engines of the aircraft could
have easily frightened most young children, causing them to secure
the tight grasp of a parent's haWd; Yet this small creature'appeared

My, but these are exciting times as district competition i over
for some HHS athletes and looming for some others.
Congratulations to senior Kyle Bodeck for his number fo r sin-
gles district championship performance in the Class 2A-Dis rict 8
playoffs. Junior Summer Palmer also did very well with her ham-
pionship runner-up performance in the number one singles. !
Track districts are today (Thursday) and tomorrow, thp pole
vault at Mooney today and the rest of the events at Sodtheast
tomorrow. Hopefully, they'll be a lot of guys and gals going on to
regionals at Titusville.
In weightlifting, senior Jarrius Lindsey goes for the gold in
Saturday's state meet at Kissimmee. He had a 600 total, with 310
in the bench and 290 in the clean-and-jerk in the 183-pound divi-
sion. Junior Carlos Marquez did well in being sectional runner-up
in the 219-pound division.
Hardee girls softball hosts their district playoffs next week. The
four-five seed game is Monday at Southeast. On Tuesday, DeSoto
plays th~iwinner of the 4-5ganie and Hardee clashes with Cardinal
Mooney at 7:30. They both ended with 5-3 records ( dual losses to

ond seed and home team for this game. The Tuesday winners play '
next Thursday at 7 p.m. for the district championship.

not to be startled by the sudden roars that surrounded her as she
wandered to and fro.
Doting adults spoke to her as she stared with wondrous eyes at
the various aircraft, but few questioned her unresponsive behavior
or the slight tilting of her head as she watched their moving lips for,
after all, they were complete strangers to her.
The attention of the crowd was suddenly drawn toward the
beautiful Cirrus SR22 airplane that had made its entrance onto the
taxiway. The pilot, having settled back in the luxurious leather seat-
ing, fixed his eyes on the instrument panel before him and then
focused on the busy traffic ahead. And then, without warning, it
happened ....
Despite all the shouts and cries, the small child continued to
- walk into the path of the oncoming plane in an eager attempt to get
a closer look. She heard none of the fearful and desperate pleas of
the onloolt s, for her world was not filled with the normal sounds
of everyday life but consisted only of muffled and muted sounds.
Unbeknownst to the spectators, the child had a sensory hear-
ing impairment which made her totally oblivious to the danger
ahead as she traveled straight toward the approaching plane.
Strong arms suddenly wrapped around the fragile creature as
she was pulled swiftly to safety. Gasps and loud sighs of relief were
heard from the crowd, followed by applause for the hero who
seemed to appear from nowhere to pull the unsuspecting child out
of harm's way. The women dried tears from their eyes as the men
shook hands and clapped one another on their backs, and with
grateful hearts the crowd broke apart and returned to what they
were doing before the excitement erupted.
Later in the afternoon the question arose as to the identity of
the hero. Who was the man who saved the day and prevented a near
tragedy? Perhaps it was a spectator who chose to visit the aircraft
event or maybe even a visiting pilot who had stopped to refuel his
plane. No one seemed to have the answer. It is still a mystery to this
day.
Guardian Angels we may never know when they come our
way to protect and save us from oncoming tragedies in our person-
al lives.
Sometimes they come to pull us out of harm's way and, just as
in the case of the hearing-impaired child, we remain oblivious to
the danger as we continue on life's journey. Other times, we can see
His hand of protection at work as we reflect back on near tragedies.
Whether these Guardian Angels be in the form of a family
member, a friend, a stranger or perhaps even an angel sent from
Above, we can take comfort in the fact that they were sent by the
One who not only looks out for His children at all times and in all
circumstances, but does so with a love so great that it is beyond our
grasp to understand.
Psalm 91:11 reads: "For He will command His angels con-
cerning you to guard you in all your ways."
Take a moment today and reflect on the many times in your
life in which His strong arms of protection wrapped around your
fragile life and pulled you swiftly to safety!

Nature provides a free
lunch but only if we control
our appetites. | HE HBS HEERL

FLORIDA FOLK MUSIC CONCERT SATURDAY
Spring has arrived, and the park is bursting with life.
Gaze into the lush green canopy of the Hammock or come
delight over wildflowers springing up in the flatwoods. Spring
birds are abundant now. Look for swallow-tailed kites, yellow-
billed cuckoos, red-headed woodpeckers, great crested flycatchers
and northern parulas. White-tailed deer are seed nearly every day,
and alligators laze about in the swamps.
What a wonderful time to visit the park!
It's not too hot and there's no worry about afternoon thunder-
storms for another six weeks or so. Come take advantage of the
extra daylight hours. Bring the kids out in the late afternoon and
toss a football or ride your bikes. Take a cruise around Loop
Drive's bike path or enjoy the off-road bicycle trail.
Haven't been camping in a while? Make a reservation to relax
by the campfire while the kids enjoy the playground and make new
friends. This time of year is perfect, no pesky bugs to bother you
and weekdays are quiet and peaceful. Weekends remain busy until
the end of May.
It's also a great time of year for enjoying an evening concert.
This Saturday, Billy Glades performs his Florida Folk music begin-
ning at 7 p.m. Concert tickets are just $5 per person and accompa-
nied kids age 12 and under are admitted free of charge. Park admis-
sion is waived after 6 p.m. on concert nights, making this an afford-
able evening out. Why not camp that weekend so you can relax all
day, enjoy the concert and still have time for smores before bed?
The park offers nine different nature trails to explore, and I bet
it's been a long time since you've walked some of them. Do you
remember the 1,000-year-old tree at the Big Oak Trail? Chances
are it looks quite a bit different than you remember. The huge-oak
on the Hickory Trail with the burned-out bottom is still there wait-
ing for you to step inside. Have you seen the Fern Garden Trail now
that the historic waterway's been restored? Fern the alligator is
back, and maybe you'll even see the otters swimming around.
Don't forget that you are always welcome to borrow a pair of
binoculars at the Ranger Station to see what's out here in The Real
Florida.

-- Light One Candle
By Tony Rossi
The Christcqphers

ATTRACTING YOUNG PEOPLE ITO CHURCH
Chances are that the leaders in your parish have asked the
question, "How can we get young people more involved in the
church?"
As part of a Catholic Young Adult group myself, I know that
question doesn't have a one-size-fits-all answer. However, two
guests I've interviewed on my radio show had suggestions they've
seen work.
The first is Bob Lesnefsky, also known as the award-winning
Christian rapper Righteous B. Though he enjoys making music, his
real passion is a youth program he co-founded called Dirty Vaga-
bond' Ministries. Describing its approach as "incarnational min-
istry," the program places missionaries in an urban area to live
among the people and meet them wherever they are.
Lesnefsky said, "We show up at a park with a grill and start
grilling hot dogs and feeding people. The first time, we just see
them and get to know their names. Over weeks or years, it eventu-
ally builds relationships and develops into a friendship.
"It's much more effective for me to share Christ with someone
who considers me their friend than someone who I knock on their
door and try to give them a five-minute plug. These are people we
have an authentic relationship with. There's an element of trust that
happens before we even tell them about God. They begin to see we
care for them outside of whether or not they ever come to the
church," he explained.
Another person who's had great success in this area is author
and speaker Mark Hart, who's also known as "The Bible Geek."

throughh his work with the program Life Teen, he is helping young
people "form their Catholic identity in authentic and joy-filled
ways."
Hart acknowledged that one of the challenges of getting young
people to Mass is that they're a screen-based culture that's always
texting or online. He told me, "We (shouldn't) wonder why young
people are bored at Mass when they're constantly stimulated the
other 167 hours a week."
Hart's solution, however, isn't to make Mass entertaining but
to help our "individualistic culture ... appreciate how communal
God designed us to be."
Hart has discovered that "modern teenagers ... want depth.
They want deep relationships; they just don't know how to have
them. They're really drawn to the mystical. When you start walk-


ing them into the mystical elements of the sacraments and the depth
and breadth of the mysteries of the church, their hearts become
enlivened."
Hart sees part of the problem as adults who talk at teens, not
with them. He points out, "We should take a lesson from Christ on
the road to Emmaus. He walked and listened before He taught."
It's easy to lament the lack of young faces at Sunday Mass, but
complaining doesn't accomplish anything. Instead, consider the
insights of Bob Lesnefsky and Mark Hart and try to build on what
they've shown can work.

The Hardee girls softball
team is hosting the 3A District
11 playoffs next week.
Local fans will be able to
cheer their team to victory as
games are held at the Rec-
reation Complex field just north
of the high school.
The first game is actually at
Bradenton Southeast on Mon-
day,evening, as the number 5
seed, Sarasota Booker takes on
number 4 seed Southeast. The,
winner of that game will come
to Hardee on Tuesday to play
top-seed DeSoto in the early
game at 5:30 p.m. Hardee, seed-
ed third by the flip of a coin,
will play second-seed Sarasota
SCardinal Mooney at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday. The teams split games
During the season. Both ended
up with 5-3 records.
The Tuesday night winners
will advance to play in the dis-
trict championship game, next
Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m.
Whoever wins will host the first
regional game, while the loser
will have to travel for the
regional quarterfinal game.
Hardee had a pair of games
last week, playing at DeSoto on
Monday evening and hosting
Palmetto on Thursday for
Senior Night.
DESOTO 15, HARDEE 5
The Lady Wildcats were
leading 5-4 in this game after
the first three innings, before
errors cost Hardee the game.
"We have a young team, lack-
ing the experience of an older
DeSoto squad; however, we
have the ability to play with
them. The girls need to play
seven innings of defense. Errors
and 'freezing' during the game
is what beat them," commented
Wildcat coach Shari Knight.
Hardee started well. Bailey
Carlton singled and Kayla
Knight followed that with a
double. A long singled by senior
Elvira Servin brought both
teammates home with the first
runs of the game. DeSoto went
down one-two-three.
Hardee did the same in the
top of the second, while DeSoto
began to score, plating four runs
on a couple of walks and hits.
Hardee forged back in front
in the top of the third. Ana
Galvez singled to left field and
Carlton singled again. Knight
brought them both home with a
double. Courtney Parks singled
to score Knight and make the
score 5-4.
It continued that way until the
home half of the fourth, when
DeSoto scored four runs on six

down quickly in the top of the
second. Hardee went back to
work and added three more
runs. Addison Aubry started it
with a singled to left field.
Galvez was hit by a pitch but
erased by a fielder's choice hit


by Carlton. An error and double
by Knight kept runners moving.
Knight stole third and slipped
home on a passed ball. It was 5-

Four up and three down took
care of Palmetto in the third
inning. Hardee got another run.
Parks singled, stole second,
advanced on a Coker sacrifice
and home on a Kate Thomas
sacrifice.
The fourth inning kept Pal-
metto at bay and added yet
another Lady Wildcat run. Carl-
ton singled and stole her way to
third, coming home on a Servin
RBI hit.
Knight struck out the Pal-
metto side in the top of the fifth.
The Lady 'Cats proceeded to

runs needed for the 10-run
mercy rule. Coker took a walk.
On a ground-out, she took sec-
ond and scored when Aubry
singled to deep right center.
Arissa Camel drew a walk and
Carlton singled. When Knight
doubled to right field to bring in
the 10 run, Hardee had a well-
earned victory against a team
that has beaten it many times in
the past.

-Hardee


Living


Cowboy-
Cheryl Stahler of Fort Myers
got a great surprise while riding
in the Florida Cracker Trail
Ride which passes through
Hardee County.
This annual trail ride starts on
the West Coast and travels
across the state to the East
Coast. On the second day of the
trail ride, Stahler found herself
camping at Duck Smith's ranch
house in New Zion with about
150 other riders.
It was there that she met
Skipper Calder, who had pre-
sented a horse-training demon-
stration that afternoon for the
group. Stahler told him how
good her horse was, with over
500 miles of trail riding, but
that there was one problem she
could not fix, her horse would
not stand still when she tried to
saddle or when she was riding.
Her horse was great at going,
bad at standing still.
Asking Calder for help, he
scheduled Stahler and her horse
for a Sunday morning service at
Cowboy-up Ministry, located at
Cracker Trail Arena off State
Road 66, owned by Mike and
Betsy Damboise.
Calder was doing a sermon
series on "Fruit of the Spirit,"
and that particular week was on
"Patience."
Calder teaches people how to
put their horse in "Park" not
"Neutral." As Calder trains the
horse he quotes Scripture, such

Up Ministry Teaches Patience


the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control."
Calder reminds people that
it's not called the "fruit of the
Christian," it's the "fruit of the
Spirit." As Calder taught
Stahler and about 60 others the
training technique he uses on
horses to stand still, he also
talked about the patience that
comes from God.
In about one hour, Calder
demonstrates the connection,
trust and confidence in the
horse as he throws the reins on
the ground. With no way to con-
trol the horse, she stands per-
fectly still. Calder calls it
"Park."
Demonstrating a horse under
his control, Calder speaks of
being controlled by the Holy
Spirit. If Christians surrender to
the Holy Spirit, they will have
patience. It's not what people
can do; it's what God can do
through them that counts.
A sermon people can see!
That's just what Calder of
Cowboy-up Ministry does each
week with the use of horses.
Skipper Calder, born in
Wauchula 58 years ago, has
been around horses all his life.
In 2007 Calder started Cowboy-
up Ministry, described as Horse
Training with a Biblical
Message. For information or
booking a horse for training, e-
mail Skipper at horsemi-
nistry@yahoo.com or call 781-
2281.

Skipper Calder shows his "horse patience line," a rope
tied overhead with a swivel in the middle and a lead rope
hanging down about two feet from the ground. Calder
says, "I tie every horse to the patience line after I ride or
train. It gives them time to think about the training
instead of the feed or play time. This will stop most hors-
es from pawing when tied to a trailer or fence."

Angels Softball Tight


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
By the slimmest of margins,
the Bunch AGCO Cowgirls
lead the Angels 10-and-under
softball division.
But, that's without knowing
the results of the Thursday
night game between the Java
Caf6 Lady Bugs and the High-
lands Citrus Pink Sox for which
the scoresheet was missing at
press time.
Based on available informa-
tion, Bunch leads the division
with a 5-3 (.625) record. The
Java Caf6 Lady Bugs are at 4-3
(.571) and the American Fruit
Co. Diamonds at 5-3-1 (.556).
The Friendship Foliage Pride
and Highland Citrus follow
along..
In last Monday's game,
American won 5-2 over
Friendship.
Heather Coronado, Stephanie
Derringer, Brianna Valadez,
Marisa Rodriguez and Mallory
Gough each put a run on the
board for American. Other
American players are Valerie
Lopez, Makayla Benavidez,
Adrianna Perez, Kareli Plata
and Viviana Flores.
Amari DeLeon and Denali
Briones were the only Friend-
ship players to get all the way to
home plate. Other Friendship
players are Destiny Scheel,
Adelina Villafranca, Alyssa
Gibson, Alexis McBride, Jas-
mine Otero, Elizabeth McBride,
Michaela Klein, Sophie Allen
and Makayla Otero.


On Tuesday night, Bunch

Ashlee Patterson and Lilanna
"Lilly" Ponce each circled the
bases twice for Bunch. Solo
scores came from Taylor Bone,
Alayna Carranco, Lillian Sal-
azar, Kyra Wilson, Miranda

A Daily Thought
THURSDAY
Then Jesus said to them, "I
am the bread of life; he who
come to Me shall not
hunger, and he who be-
lieves in Me shall never
thirst. ... For this is the will of
My Father, that everyone
who sees the Son and
believes in Him should have
eternal life; and I will raise
him up at the last day.
John 6:35, 40 (NCV)
FRIDAY
Jesus once again addressed
them, "I am the world's
Light. No one who follows
Me stumbles around in the
darkness. I provide plenty of
light to live in."
John 8:12 (ME)
SATURDAY
Jesus said, "I am the Good
Shepherd. The good shep-
herd lays down his life for his
sheep- ... I am the Good
Shepherd. I know My own
sheep, and they know Me,
... and I lay down My life for
the sheep. ... My sheep rec-
ognize My voice, I know
them and they follow Me. I
give them eternal life, and
they will never perish."
John 10:9,14,15b,27 (NLT)
SUNDAY
Jesus said (to Martha), "I am
the Resurrection and the
Life; he who believes in Me,
though he die (physically),
yet shall he live (eternally),
and whoever believes in Me
shall never die."
John 11: 25-26 (RSV)
MONDAY
Jesus said, "A new com-
mandment I give unto you,
that ye love one another. As
I have loved you, that ye also
love one another. By this
shall all men know that ye
are My disciples, if ye have
loved one to another."
John 13:34-35 (KJV)
TUESDAY
Jesus replied (to Thomas), "I
am the Way, the Truth and I
am Life; no one comes to
the Father except by Me. ..
If you love Me, you will obey
My commands."
John 14:6, 15 (NEB)
WEDNESDAY
"I am the real vine; My
Father is the vine-dresser; ...
I am the vine itself: You are
the branches. It is the man
who shares My life and
whose life I share who is
fruitful. For the plain fact is
that apart from Me you can
do nothing at all. ... But if
you live your life in Me, and
My words live in your heart,
you can ask for whatever
you like, and it will come true
for you you must go on.

26-29.

HARDEE 12, BOOKER 5
Freshman Garrett Albritton
went the distance in this one,
held in Sarasota.
Mayer singled, stole second
and third and scored on a
Saunders doubled to start this
game. Booker responded with
three runs on walks, a hit bats-
man and hits before the Wildcat
freshman hurler settled down.
Hardee got the runs back in
the top of the second. Dawson
Crawford was safe on an error
and Kalan Royal tripled. Mikey
Retana singled and Kramer
Royal singled. Mayer doubled,
Saunders singled and Donald-
son tripled. It was 8-3.
It rolled along that way until
the top of the fifth, when Justin
Knight tripled and scored on a
Kalan Royal sacrifice.
Kramer Royal started more
scoring in the sixth inning. He
drew a walk and Mayer fol-
lowed with a triple. With two.
down, Justin Knight walked
and Wintz Terrell was hit by a
pitch. When it settled, it was 12-
3.
Booker got a pair of scores in
the home half of the sixth on a
hit batsman, walk and triple,
making the final score 12-5.

HARDEE 20,
MULBERRY 0
Hardee went to Mulberry and
had its bats going. The 'Cats
opened with six runs. Mayer led
it off with a triple to right center
and trotted home on a Saunders
double. Donaldson doubled and
Knight singled. Terrell drew a
walk and Crawford singled to
right field. Hits by Dylan Farr
and Deonte Evans, a walk to
Dalton Hewett and a fielder's
choice by Mayer moved play-
ers. The first six batters scored.
Murrell Winter took the
mound and retired three of the
four batters he faced.
Hardee carried on, with five
more runs on the board in the
top of the second. Knight was
safe on an error and Terrell hit
his first homer. Crawford dou-
bled, Hewett walked and Farr
doubled. It kept going with sin-
gles by Evans and Mayer and
an error on a Saunders hit.
When it ended Hardee was up
11-0.
Winter sat three batters down
quickly in the home half of the
second. Knight singled up the
middle and Terrell homered
again. Dawson, Farr and Kalan
Royal singled. It was another
trio of tallies and a 14-0 lead,
only in the third inning.
It was a quiet fourth, but in
the top of the fifth, Hardee used
subs as frequently as it could,
but singles and doubles kept
coming. It ended with another
Terrell home for the final two of
a six-run inning. When Mul-
berry went down in order in the
home half of the fifth, the
mercy rule took effect and
Hardee had a 20-0 win.
Winter pitched four-plus
innings, facing 14 batters and


getting four strikeouts and one
walk. Bromley finished it with
three batters, including a pair of
strikeouts. Terrell has four at-
bats, with three homers and
seven RBIs. Crawford had four
hits and Knight three.

SOUTHEAST 11,
HARDEE 1
This was an afternoon game,
as it was prom night for
Southeast. It was the opposite
of the Mulberry game, as the
Seminoles were the team to col-
lect runs inning by inning,
while Hardee batters went
down quickly.
Hardee's only run came in the
top of the fourth. With one
down, Saunders doubled. He
went to third on a Donaldson
sacrifice fly and home on a
Knight single. Meanwhile,
Southeast had added up scores
for the 11-1 in the bottom of the
sixth.

The month of April gets its
name from the Latin
"aperire," meaning "to
open," as do the flower
buds that month.

TAKE A LOOK AROUND!
Driving with me could be an adventure.
If you have ever read this column before, you already know
that.
So what's new? Well, one thing I may have never divulged
publicly is that I spend way more time looking in the air, fields and
surrounding landscape when I'm driving than I do looking at the
road.
My 9-year old daughter graciously pointed that out to me the
other day, saying, "Dad, aren't you supposed to look at the road
when you'drive?"
I told her, "I know where the road is; it isn't going anywhere!"
So you might be wondering what in the world am I looking for
while I'm driving?
Pretty much anything that most people pass by every day, you
know, cool things that unless you are looking for them you will
surely miss. For example, one might see a flock of turkeys walking
through a field, an alligator sunning on the side of the road, a four-
point buck hiding behind an oak tree, an eagle carrying dinner back
home, a hawk being harassed by a mockingbird or various other
sights.
Now, don't just think that this only applies to driving a car or
truck. Actually, I'm just as distracted, uh, focused as a boat driver.
Last month we celebrated Spring Break over at Lake June in
Winter in Lake Placid. For most of us Floridians it was too cold to
swim or tube, but not for my two. They could not get enough tub-
ing in during the week.
I've learned through many years of boat driving that there is
quite the show you can watch while carrying on conversations and
pulling people on the tube. My ability to spot birds, fish or other
animals at great distances is a skill I take great pride in. I love being
able to say, "Look at that!" before anyone else sees what I see.
My favorite activity this time of year through late July is to
look for largemouth bass that have taken on a meal a bit big for
their bite. At least five times that I have witnessed, I've found a
fresh floundering feeding fish that is nearly expired from attempt-
ing to eat a smaller fish. The smaller fish gets lodged in the mouth
of the bigger fish and causes the mouth of the bigger fish to stay
open and the larger fish is unable to go under the water. So in
essence I'm a fish saver, except for the fact I usually keep them and
eat them.
This March was no exception. 1 was tubing my kids when I
spotted a large object up ahead. I slowed the boat, much to the cha-
grin of my passengers. I've found trash, hats and large fish. This
day it was about a seven-pound bass trying to eat an 11-inch
bluegill. I leaned over the side reached in the water and lifted in
dinner, all to the cries of impatience, "Dad, not again! Do you
always have to pick fish up out of the water?"
As we started to tube again off in the distance I pointed out to
my wife, look! An osprey had just swooped down, grabbed a huge
fish and was flying back to its nest with lunch. Simultaneously
across the lake I saw another osprey make a u-turn and immediate-
ly follow the osprey that had caught a fish back to the nest. I could
almost hear the second osprey say, "Yes! She caught something! I
don't have to fly around anymore. I'm starving. Way to go, honey,
I'll be right there!"
These questions and lack of interest in my pastime only make
me all the more fervent. So the next time you see my truck slow
down or the boat I'm driving come to a stop, don't worry. I'm most
likely just seeing something that you would have passed right on
by.
Next time you're out for a drive, whether by land or sea, take
a look around. You'll most likely see a show you've never seen!

. Americans Support Smoke-

Free Parks And Beaches


A recent survey shows a siz-
able number of Americans want
to breathe fresh air when they
are outdoors-not secondhand
smoke.
According to the National
Social Climate Survey of To-
bacco Control, more than two-
thirds of Americans feel that
smoking should not be allowed
within 20 feet of a doorway-a
finding that is increasingly rele-
vant as more indoor spaces
have gone smoke-free.
The survey also found that 43
percent of Americans feel that
beaches should be smoke-free,
and 36.5 percent are in favor of
smoking bans in parks. "This
annual survey is a consistent
reality check on how America
perceives tobacco use and
exposure to secondhand
smoke," said Cheryl G. Heal-
ton, president and CEO of
Legacy, a national public health
organization. "This year's sur-
vey focus on outdoor spaces
reminds us that passive smok-
ing is a public health threat,
whether in a bar, restaurant,
office or even at the beach or in
a park."
According to the Americans
for Nonsmokers' Rights, 100


municipalities and the state of
Maine prohibit smoking on
public beaches and 470 have
enacted smoking bans in city
parks. According to Legacy,
secondhand smoke (SHS) is a
mixture of smoke given off by
the burning end of cigarettes,
pipes or cigars, and smoke
exhaled from the lungs of
smokers, which can involuntar-
ily be inhaled by nonsmokers.
The U.S. Surgeon General
has concluded that SHS is a
major health risk to nonsmokers
and in 1992 the U.S. Envir-
onmental Protection Agency
classified SHS as a Group A
carcinogen, meaning it is
known to cause cancer in
humans. There is no safe level
of exposure.
SHS contains over 4,000
chemical compounds including
formaldehyde, cyanide, arsenic,
carbon monoxide, methane and
benzene. Among the chemicals
identified in cigarette smoke, 11
are known human carcinogens.
Exposure can be particularly
damaging for infants and chil-
dren, whose respiratory rates
are higher than those of adults.

www.LegacyForHealth.org.


Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is
the only thing.

Take The Challenge: Learn Sweet News About Sugar


According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion, two out of three adults (68
percent) are affected by excess
weight or obesity.
This statistic is a cause for
alarm because with excess
eight and obesity comes a
host of health implications.
Individuals affected by excess
weight and obesity are at a
much greater risk of developing
major conditions, such as dia-
betes, hypertension, sleep apnea
and many more. Statistics show
that individuals typically do not
address their weight, if at all,
until they are diagnosed with
one of the above- related condi-
tions.' The Obesity Action
Coalition (OAC) is leading the
charge to reverse this trend
through the "Your Weight
Matters" campaign and get indi-
viduals to start talking about
their weight before they are
diagnosed with one of the many
weight-related diseases.
Why Does Weight Matter?
Weight matters to people in
many different ways. For some,
weight might matter to them
because of how they look. Or
maybe it's that number on the
scale that's been haunting them
for years. There are different
reasons why weight matters to
each of us; however, the most
important reason is health.
Research has shown that
there are many serious health
implications accompanying ex-
cess weight. Weight can even
affect emotional health as well.
It is not uncommon for some-
one dealing with weight issues
to be affected by depression or a


protein and complex carbohy-
drates.
Health professionals recom-
mend that people who consume
sugar do so in moderation as
part of a healthful diet that pro-


lack of self-confidence.
Yet, it's not always easy to
recognize when excess weight
is jeopardizing health. In fact,
most Americans do not realize
that they are overweight or even
at risk for weight-related condi-
tions until faced with a serious
health risk.
Is Your Weight Impacting
Your Health?
The best way to determine if
your weight is impacting your
health is to get involved in the
"Your Weight Matters" cam-
paign, a national awareness ini-
tiative aimed at getting the
American public talking about
their weight as it pertains to
their health. The campaign
challenges all Americans to
measure their weight and open
the often-avoided discussion
with their health care profes-
sional about it.
The campaign website, www.
yourweightmatters.org, con-
tains a wide variety of weight-
and health-related in-formation
and offers you the tools to
assess your weight and learn
more about weight-related con-
ditions. By taking the campaign
challenge, visitors re-ceive a
free "Your Weight Matters" e-
toolkit; including a food log,
exercise tips, helpful resources
and much more. Knowing how
weight impacts you and achiev-
ing a healthier weight are vital
to your health and well-being.

Matters" Challenge by visiting

weightmatters.org or by calling

Why Weight Matters


The Right Anchor Can

Help A Business Grow


A ship isn't the only thing
that can benefit from having an
anchor. It turns out that there
are anchors that can actually
help inner-city communities
and small businesses rise up.
The anchors, in this case, are
large organizations-such as a
college, university or hospital-
that are deeply rooted in the
community and can play an
integral role in fostering the
community's economy by
spending on goods and servic-
es.
By building a relationship
with such anchors, a small
business can often reap big
benefits and set a course for
increased prosperity. The Ini-
tiative for a Competitive Inner
City (ICIC) and Staples, Inc.
offer three tips on how a busi-
ness can begin to develop such
a relationship.
Become a trusted suppli-
er of goods and services to
local anchor institutions.
Many anchor institutions ac-
tively direct their institutional
purchasing to community busi-
nesses.
To successfully supply these
purchasers, research anchor
institutions' procurement poli-
cies and goals for local and
diverse businesses and then
make the business case for why
an anchor should work with
your business.
Use anchors to help iden-


tify and train your employees.
For any small business, having
the right talent is critical.
Educational institutions, in par-
ticular, develop local skills as
part of their core mission, and
they can help small businesses
find and build talent.
To leverage these resources, a
business can use educational
institutions, such as a university
or a community college, to
identify qualified job candi-
dates, find job-training opportu-
nities for its existing workforce
and create specialized job-train-
ing programs.
Use anchor institutions
for advisory and consulting
services. Anchor institutions
often look for ways to use their
employees' expertise to help a
community grow. Many an-
chors offer advising, consulting
or mentoring services to small,
local businesses seeking advis-
ing, networking and mentorship
opportunities from local facul-
ty, students and executives.
The Initiative for a Com-peti-
tive Inner City is a national not-
for-profit organization founded
in 1994. Its mission includes
highlighting the competitive
advantages of inner cities and
the thousands of thriving com-
panies that are already capital-
izing on these advantages.

vides the appropriate amount of
daily calories. For people trying'
to manage their weight, regular
exercise and keeping an eye on.
calories are essential-and that
includes calories from dietary
fats, protein and carbohydrates'
such as sugar. People who are
very physically active burn


more calories, so they can addi
more calories to their diet in
any form they choose-from
dairy products, meats, vegeta-'
bles, fruits and the occasional
sweet treat.
To sum it up, it's generally
best to enjoy all things in mod-'
eration, including sugar.


If, like many people, you've
begun to wonder whether eating
sugar affects health, there may
be good news for you.
First, you're far from alone.
Almost everyone enjoys sugars
and the occasional sweet treat.
In fact, a fondness for sweet
taste is present from birth and
liking sweet tastes is in part
determined by your genes.
Next, you should know that
there are many types of sugars
and the terms used to describe
sugars can be confusing. Sugars
are carbohydrates, which serve
as the main energy source for
the body. They occur both natu-
rally and as ingredients in many
foods. The most familiar sugar
is sucrose (what's called "table
sugar"), which is made of two
simple sugars, fructose and glu-
cose. Fruits and vegetables nat-
urally contain fructose and glu-
cose. Other sugars used in foods
include agave nectar, corn
syrup, high-fructose corn syrup,
honey, invert sugar, lactose
(that is, milk sugar) and other
syrups.
Research suggests that the
body does not distinguish
between sugars added to foods
(the sugar found in a sweet roll)
and naturally occurring sugars
(the sugar found in fruit, fruit
juice or milk). Regardless of the
name or source, sugars con-
tribute about the same 4 calo-
ries per gram to the diet as do

JLC Leads Belles


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The oldest girls Youth Soft-
ball division has one outstand-
ing team.
The JLC.Harvesting Thrash-

behind is the George Wads-

In game one last Tuesday, the
Wauchula Lightning shut down
the Central Slammers 4-0.

To State
By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
He qualified for state last
year, and set a goal, to return for
another opportunity for a state
championship.
Senior Jarrius Lindsey is
already the sectional weightlift-
ing champion in the 183-pound
class. After the state meet at the
Kissimmee Civic Center on
Saturday, he hopes to be the
state champ. No one locally has
come near his numbers. At the
sectional meet, he benched 310
and clean & jerked 290 for a
600 total, higher than those in
higher weight classes.
Lindsey, a Wildcat fullback
all four years of high school,
would like to leave high school
with that elusive state title.
Junior Carlos Marquez came
close in his 219-pound division,
having to settle for the sectional
runner-up. Marquez benched
300 and jerked 235 for a 535
total, a new record for him.

Players for Central are Brean-
na Godwin, Tiffany Flores,
Kaela Villegas, Michaela Vil-
lareal, Cori Ann Rosales, Yas-
min Ramirez, Victoria Brad-
dock, Aabigail Vargas, Halley
Addison and Ana Delia.
The JC Harvesting Thrashers
won the second game 7-2 over
the State Farm Insurance
Thunder.
Leadoff batter Jakaysha
Lindsey circled the bases three
times for JLC. Shayna Harned,
Hannah Carlton, Makayla Deu-

each scored once. Other JLC
players are Melissa Perez, Tara
McNabb, Briana Aleman, Blake
Carmichael, Ariana Ramos,
Jarissa Lindsey and Emily

Other Wildcats doing well
recently include: junior Uvaldo
Sanchez in the heavyweight
division with a 505, 265 in the
bench and 240 in the clean &
jerk; and junior Maxon Del-
homme in the 169-division with,
a 505 total, 280 in the bench:
and 225 in the clean & jerk.
At 129, Caleb Purser and
Tristan Lanier, both freshmen,
have done well. Add soph Uber
Calvillo in the 169 division,
Dalton Rabon in the 154-divi-
sion, Colby Baker and Waylan
Pleger both at 169, senior
Quinton Carlton at 219, Adson
Delhomme in the 238 division
and soph Jesus Zuniga in the
heavyweight.
Most of the two dozen lifters
out regularly are just keeping in
shape for football and are not
interested in being competitive.
But, for those who do, it's a
challenge to pit themselves
against the best from other
schools.

JV Juggle 3 For Wins


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The JV Wildcats sandwiched
a shutout with a pair of close
encounters in three victories
last week.
They nipped Frostproof 6-5,
,shut down Mulberry 10-0 and
held off Avon Park for a 5-4 win
in a long week of home games.
They finish up the season this
week, with two and possibly
three in a rainout game can be
added.
"We've faced some adversity
and kept playing through it. Our
pitching has stepped up and
we've started swinging the
bat," said Head Coach John
Sharp.
HARDEE 6, MULBERRY 5
The week began with a-,
Wednesday makeup game
against Frostproof. Freshman
Luke Palmer began and class-
mate Tyler Hewett finished it
up.
Holding the Bulldogs to three
batters in the top of the first,
Hardee went to work. Armando
Alamia singled to left, stole sec-
ond and third and came home
on a Jacob Altman sacrifice.
Frostproof came back with a
pair of runs on a hit, walk, error
and double to take a 2-1 lead.
Hardee went back to work in
the home half of the second
inning. Vince Grimsley sin-
gled, went to second on a wild
pitch. He went to third on a
Jeremy Rowe sacrifice and
came home when Justin
Forrester singled. He also got to
third on a stolen base and
passed ball. Ramiro Briones
and Jacob Bolin both walked.
Forrester and Briones scored on
a Altman double. It was 4-2.
A single, balk and double
plated one run for Frostproof in
the top of the third, Hardee
went down in order. The
Bulldogs tied the tied with a
another run in the fourth, while
Hardee bats were silent.
Frostproof took a 5-4 advan-


tage in the top of the fifth, on a
walk, error and sacrifice. Har-
dee left Kris Johnson stranded
as he singled. Both teams were
quickly up and down in the
sixth inning and Frostproof had
just three batters in the top of
-the seventh.
Bolin started the home half of
the seventh with a single. Alt-
man doubled. Bolin came home
on a Johnson sacrifice. Hewett
lofted a shot to center field. It
was caught, but Altman trotted
home with the winning run.

HARDEE 10, MULBERRY 0
Rowe picked up this shutout
win over the visiting Panthers.
After a pair of strikeouts and a
ground-out stopped Mulberry,
Hardee picked up its first run
when Alamia singled to left,
stole second and third and
crossed home on an Altman
sacrifice. Palmer sliced one up
the middle but was stranded
when the third out occurred.
Mulberry stranded a pair of
runners in the top of the second
and Hardee plated three more
runners. Garrett Albritton and
Forrester had leadoff walks.
Briones singled and Bolin sacri-
ficed. Alamia was safe on an
error and Altman hit to deep
center. When the dust settled a
few minutes later, Hardee had a
4-0 lead.
It was five up, three down for
the Panthers in the third, when
Hardee added another trio of
tallies, by Albritton, Forrester
and Bolin, helped by an Alamia
double. It was 7-0.
The final Hardee runs came
in the fifth inning and ended the
game on the 10-run mercy rule.
Wyatt Maddox singled, Dus-
tin Goodwyn doubled as did
Bolin. An Alamia sacrifice and
single by Jacob Neuhofer
brought in the last runs for the
win.

HARDEE 5, AVON PARK 4
Soph Cole Choate was strong


on the mound in the beginning
of this game. He struck out the
first batter, got the next to
ground to short and struck out
Caleb Reeves after he had
fouled off three pitches.
Altman send a shot up the
middle to get Hardee going.
Johnson was safe on a high
throw to first and Palmer drew a
walk. A Grimsley high fly to
right field .got Altman home
with the first run of the game.
Red Devil Steve Flowers was
safe on a wild throw from the
third baseman and ended up on
third base before the ball got
back to the infield. Ryan Dick
singled to score Flowers and tie
the game 1-1.
Both teams left runners
stranded until the bottom of the
third. Altman worked for a walk
and a Johnson single put run-
ners on the corners. Palmer
doubled to the gap in right cen-
ter, scoring both teammates and
making it a 3-1 game. A Grim-
sley high hopper got Palmer to
third and an error on a Forrester
hit allowed him to score. Errors
on h its by Briones and Bolin
moved him along until he
reached home. It was 5-1.
Avon Park threatened in the
top of the fourth, but Johnson
relieved Choate and put out the
fire.
It was relatively quiet, with
both teams stranding runners
until the top of the sixth when
the Red Devils got one runner
home on an error and a couple
of singles. Avon Park left the
bases loaded when back-to-
back strikeouts and a ground-
out stopped the threat.
The Red Devils tried to rally
again in the top of the seventh.
A single and an error brought
one runner home. A dropped
third strike left runners on the
comers. A passed ball on a walk
allowed another runner to come
home before Johnson struck out
the last batter to preserved the
5-4 win.

Danced With The



King,' Elvis Presley!


By LUKE PALMER
Special To The Herald-Advocate
On Oct. 10, 2010, I interviewed my
grandmother, Gayle Palmer.
She grew up in Memphis, Tenn.,
with her parents and sister, Betty. Her
father was the service manager at a big
equipment store and her mom was a
stay-at-home mom.
She graduated from Messick High
School in Memphis, where she was a
cheerleader, a member of the Speech
Club and Youth For Christ club. She
also ran track. She really enjoyed
English class. Her favorite teacher was
Mr. Hunt, who taught her sophomore
English class.
She was voted Most Witty by her
senior classmates.
Ga, as she is lovingly referred to by
me, really liked to hang out at the
Berrita Drive-In with her best friend,
Connie
Eaton. She "' v
also enjoyed lit ,
painting and
fishing. l
Like most young girls of that era,
they thought Elvis Presley was the
greatest. The highlight of her teenage
years was getting a personal dance with
"The King."
Ga grew up when a Coke cost a
nickel and a gallon of gas cost 29 cents.
She shared a car with her sister, Betty. It
was a Crosley and cost approximately
$5,000. She and her sister liked to drive
to their favorite place to eat, Leonard's
BBQ. Ga still thinks Leonard's has the
best barbecue in the world.
She earned gas money by doing
chores such as washing the dishes, iron-
ing and making the beds. Her first pay-
ing job was babysitting.
Ga met her husband, my grandfather,

Gayle Palmer and grandson.

when she was just a child. He lived four
houses down from her. After marrying
my grandfather, Ga lived in New
Orleans and Miami while he went to
medical school. They finally settled in
Wauchula, where she has lived for 46
years.
Now, my grandfather has retired
from being a doctor and Ga owns apart-
ments and has many tenants that live in
them. She enjoys growing a garden,
raising chickens and supporting her 11
grandchildren.
When asked what her most memo-
rable moment in life was, my grand-
mother stated that becoming a Christian
was the most memorable occasion.
Back In Time is the result of a class
assignment given to ninth graders at
Hardee Senior High School. Each
student is asked to interview anmolder
person. Selected interviews are pub-
lished here as an encouragement to the
students and for the enjoyment of our
readers.


Having once decided to achieve a certain task, acnieve it at all costs of tedium and dis-
taste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is
immense.
-Thomas A. Bennett

Week ending April 10, 2011
Field Crop Planting Underway, More Rain Needed
Weather Summary: Last week most Florida Automated
Weather Network (FAWN) stations received between 0.50 and 1.00
inches of rainfall. Weather stations in Jefferson, Hillsborough, and
Suwannee counties recorded the most at about 1.3) inches.
Temperatures mostly ranged from the mid-40s to upper 80s, and
averaged two to five degrees above normal. Lowest temperatures
were recorded at Alachua County (36 degrees), Baker County (37
degrees), and Jefferson County (38 degrees). Highest temperatures
were recorded at Marion and Highlands counties (93 degrees).

Field Crops: Widespread showers and above average season-
al temperatures helped the growth of early-planted crops, but it was
still fairly dry throughout the State. Corn was planted in Jackson
County and final field preparations were underway for planting
cotton and peanuts. Rice continued to be planted in Palm Beach
County. Peanut planting was underway in Gilchrist and Levy coun-
ties.

Vegetables: Producers marketed beans, broccoli, cabbage,
celery, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, radishes, squash, sweet corn,
and tomatoes. There were lighter amounts of endive and peppers
other than bell peppers available. In Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee,
and Volusia counties, the vegetable harvest reached normal sea-
sonal volumes. In Palm Beach County, producers were harvesting
sweet corn and green beans. Leafy vegetable crops were declining
as seasonal temperatures rose. In Miami-Dade County, tomato har-
vest was in full swing. The producers were planting beans and
sweet potatoes, and harvesting squash. Water restrictions remained
in effect. Watermelon planting was underway in Gilchrist and Levy
counties. The strawberry harvest continued in Bradford County.

Livestock and Pastures: The pasture condition Statewide
ranged from very poor to excellent with most in fair condition. The
pasture condition improved only slightly from the previous week.
The cattle condition was mostly fair. In the Panhandle area, the pas-
ture ranged from very poor to excellent condition with most fair to
good. Summer grasses were starting to grow given the warmer
temperatures, but grass feed volume was still low. The feeding of
hay and supplements continued, but at a reduced level. In the north-
ern areas, the pasture and cattle ranged from poor to good condi-
tion, with most cattle in good condition. In the central and south-
western areas, the pasture condition ranged from very poor to
excellent with most in fair condition. The pasture grass condition
improved slightly following limited rainfall during the week but
hot, dry weather rapidly depleted the additional soil moisture.
Cattle condition ranged from poor to excellent with most in fair
condition.

Citrus: Lows were in the 40s with highs in the 80s and 90s
across most of the citrus area. All of the 25 FAWN stations record-
ed some precipitation, but only two of them recorded more than an
inch. Dover reported the most with 1.30 inches of rainfall record-
ed. Belle Glade reported the least at 0.27 inches. Drought condi-
tions in the citrus-producing area ranged from none in the west to
extreme in the southeast, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor,
last updated on April 5th. St Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, and parts
of Collier, Hendry, Glades, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties
were experiencing extreme drought conditions. Thirty-eight pack-
inghouses and 19 processors remained opened, although some tem-
porarily paused production. Harvest of Valehcia oranges and grape-
fruit continued, with the op6i processing plants running grapefruit
and Valencia oranges. Grove activity included young tree care,
applying herbicides, hedgingand topping, brush removal, and fer-
tilizer application.

Twelve band members at
Hardee Junior High School
took a trek to Bradenton recent-
ly to participate in the Florida
Bandmasters Association's Solo
& Ensemble Festival.
The event was held at Braden
River High School, as band stu-
dents from all over the region
converged to perform solo or
group pieces in front of a judge.
They earned one of five ratings:
superior, excellent, good, fair or
poor.
The Hardee Junior High
Band, under the direction of
Shayla Bryan, represented


themselves, their band, and the
school with distinction by earn-
ing six superiors, three excel-
lents, and one good rating.
"I was very happy with the
results," said Bryan. "The stu-
dents worked so hard, and to
see their efforts rewarded is just
wonderful." j
Earning superior ratings were
James Gibson, who performed
a solo on a snare drum; Alex
Lopez, solo, snare drum;
Danielle Weeks, solo, clarinet;
Emelie Wolgast, solo, clarinet;
Terry Yanes, solo, flute; and the
percussion ensemble of James


Gibson, Alex Lopez and
Jonathan Martin.
Excellent ratings went to
Valerie Hernandez, solo, alto
saxophone; Brandi Swearingen,
solo, alto saxophone; and Erica
Castillo, Courtney Cumbee and
Faith Hodges with a flute
ensemble.
The trumpet solo by Adrianna
Jenkins garnished a good rat-
ing.
The Haidee Junior High
Band continues to grow, and
with performances like this will
certainly continue to shine
brightly, according to Bryan.

A Hindu mother walked down a
dusty road with two sons, a
healthy one and a sickly one.
About an hour later she returned
from the Ganges River with only
one son.
"Where's your other child?"
asked the missionary.
"I sacrificed himin the Ganges."
she answered.
"If you had to sacrifice a son,
why didn't you sacrifice your sickly
child?" he asked.
She answered, "We give. our
gods our best."
Why don't you give God the best
of your time, the best of your
talents, and the best of your
treasure? *
God gave His best for you when
He gave His Son.
Shouldn't you give Him your
best?


Books Are Noble



















Books have the power to change lives; without them our
knowledge of the world is limited. One immortal book
offers beauty, hope and inspiration more than any other.
It is the story of both what has been and what will be. This
book is God's Word, the Bible. In Job 12:13 we read, "To
God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding
arc his." Read this book, it will change your life!

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
Past the midway point for the
T-Ball season, the ATP Agri
Service Inc. Bees have locked
up the division.
The Bees are at 7-0 with five
games left in the season, includ-
ing a March 31 rainout. Behind
them are the Conley Grove
Scrappers, Vision Ace Hard-
ware Hooks, City of Wauchula
Diamond Jaxx and Giovanni's
Rockhounds.
Some of last week's game
were quite diverse while others
were much closer.
It began with a close en-
counter on Monday where the
Hooks edged the Scrappers 24-
22.
Blake Rucker, Matt Webb
and Wyatt Rowland paced the
Hooks with four tallies apiece.
Luke Roberts, Juan Gaitan,
Carson MontsDeOca and

inning rally for the Rock-

Bees claimed another victim in
the 18-8 win over the Hooks.

twin tallies and Pace and
Franco had solo scores.

Increase and Weep-not.


Junior Boys Start Season


By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
The oldest of the Youth
Baseball teams got their games
going after Spring Break.
The four teams only got a
pair of game in the first week
because of rainouts. Last week,
they got all four games com-
pleted. By the end of last week,
the Pirates were undefeated
with a 2-0 record. The Yankees
and Rays were each at 2-1 and
the Diamondbacks are looking
for their first victory. We don't
have names for all the players
but hope to get rosters soon.
The first game of the season
turned out to be on March 29,
when the Rays edged the
Yankees 7-6.
Cody Spencer, leadoff batter
for the Rays came around to
score twice for the Rays.
Adding solo scores were Hunter
Bryant, Devin Pearson, Russell
Weems, Andy Manley and Wil-
liam McClelland. Other players
for the Rays are Tanor Durden,
Julian Galvez, Jose Gonzalez,
Adam Salas, Daniel Parmenter
and Chris Hull.
For the Yankees, Freddy Tor-
res scored in the third inning.
Bradley Brewer, Isiah Palacios,
David Badillo and Austin


Walker added fifth-inning tal-
lies and Frank Farias added a
run in the sixth. Other Yanks
are Omar Alamia, Jordan Jones,
Dale Lovering, Cody McVay,
Kefer Kedzior and Chris Flores.
On April 1, the Rays out-
scored the Diamondbacks 7-2.
Spencer, Durden, Gonzalez
and Bryant scored in the first
inning for the Rays, and Mc-
Clelland, Hull and Pearson
added a trio of tallies in the fifth
frame.
Austin Vickers and Andrew
Hinojosa were the only scorers
for the Diamondbacks, al-
though several runners were
stranded on .the base paths.
Other Diamondbacks are Mi-
chael Tomlinson, Tyler Braagg,
Matthew Hamilton, Cesar Fim-
bres, Cage Harbaugh, Ty Tram-
mell, Quinton Stone, Adam K.,
Ruben D. and Adam R.
Last Monday's game was a 9-
2 win for the Pirates over the
Rays.
Marco DeLeon, Zack Car-
ranco and Roby ,Paris were
twin-tally batters for the
Pirates. Seth McGee, Alex
Clarke and Marcof -riones--
added solo scores. Other Pirates
are Tyler Helms, Tomas Go-
mez, Blake Crawley, Dalton


Tubbs and Rodrigo Rodriguez.
Spencer and Gonzales were
the only Rays to score.
On Tuesday, the Yankees shut
down the Diamondbacks 9-1.
Farias circled the bases- twice
for the Yankees. Alamia, Jones,
Brewer, McVay, Walker, Torres
and Lovering each chipped in
with a run.
Harbarugh was the only
Diamondback to get all the way
to home plate.
On Thursday, the Yankees
nipped the Rays 8-6.
Alamia and Jones each put a
pair of runs on the board for the
Yankees. Palacios, Farias,
Brewer and Torres added a run
apiece.
For the Rays, it was solo
scores from Bryant, Spencer,
Gonzalez, Durden, Manley and
Pearson.
The Friday game was a 13-0
shutout for the Pirates over the
Diamondbacks.
DeLeon, McGee, Clarke and
Carranco rounded the bases
twice apiece for the Pirates.
Helms, Gomez, Paris, Tubbs
and Rodriguez each chipped in
with-arun.
No one was able to get all the
way home for the Diamond-
backs.


Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first American President to use a private polling service
to advise him on both election strategy and public policy.

Many historians consider Japan's ruling dynasty to be the oldest in the world. Legend
assigns the date 660 B.C. to the reign of the first emperor.

4C The Herald-Advocate, April 14, 2011


Greetings from Fort Green!
This weather is already hot!
The weather announcer said we
had already broken-records for
the heat!
I*try and walk every day and
my walk is mainly on the dirt
road. One of the beauties of
walking on a dirt road is you
see so many animrkracks, and
if you are early yi can hear all
the birds. This past week I have
seen snake trac...wais always
told they move Trom their win-
ter home to their summer home
in March, but they must think
we are still in MarchiAnyway,
everyone needs to be _n the
lookout. You do not see near as
many snakes now as you used
to, and the rattlesnakes are prac-
tically extinct!
Chris-Thompson is in the
hospital in Sebring. Slick went
to Tennessee recently for a
funeral and on the way home
his blood sugar got out of con-
trol. He had to stop several
times for medication. Little
Stevie Brooke, Melissa Daven-
port's daughter, is in ATI Chil-
dren's Hospital. She had sur-
gery but is still running a fever
so they will not release her until
all infection is gone. Please
pray for all of these.
David McQuaig left for an-
other tour irrAfghanistan last
Monday morning. Please pray
that he will return safe. He and
all the military need our earnest
prayer.
Sarah and Charlie Cornish
from Brookside Bluff RV Park
visited our church last week.
We were happy to meet them.
Virginia Oden also visited us,
and she certainly has beautiful
hair. Some people are blessed
with beautiful silver hair.
Alex McGaughey is visiting
his parents for a week. He lives
in Kentucky and does not get to
visit as often as he and they
would like!
Fort Green is growing. Art
and Teresa Long and the Mar-
vin Walker families have re-
cently moved to our area. It is
amazing, but I still live in the
old Merle Abbott homeplace,
even though I moved here in
1965. I said that to let you know
about another new family,
Leonard Frame, and they
moved into Aunt Lettie and
Uncle Juddy's old homeplace.
We are happy they have all cho-
sen Fort Green!


The campout last Friday
night for the RAs was super.
There were about 30 youth and
older men. It was a time of
great fellowship, fishing and
playing music on the guitars for
some singalong. Then Saturday
night, the junior-high youth
went to Lakeland to watch a
Christian movie. They stopped
on the way to eat in Mulberry.
They all had a good time.
Sandy Hash called me last
week and asked me to go to the
program at the First Christian
Church. She called me Saturday
morning to tell me I had really
missed the boat in not going.
She said it was the best program
she had seen in some time. I
hope you all went!
On a happy note, Christine
Murdock is cancer free! She
completed her treatments some
time back, but this was the-last
word from her doctors.
Dennis Sasser's dad, Jim,
lives in Blairsville, Ga. The bad
weather they experienced last
week did not leave him un-
scathed. Fifteen large trees blew
down, but all away from his
home. His porch furniture all
blew over the railing and out in
the yard, instead of through
windows and into his house.
The Lord is sure good!
There is always lots going on
but it seems an extra amount
this time of the year. This
Saturday is the Methodist
Cemetery workday. Then that
night a group from the church is
going to see "The Story of
Jesus." There will be a men's
breakfast at 8.this Sunday, and
then the Lord's Supper will be
observed during the morning
service.
On Friday, April 22, begin-
ning at 7 p.m., the movie "The
Passion of Christ" will be
shown at the church, and then
on Saturday, the 23rd, will be
the Easter egg hunt beginning at
10 a.m. To climax it all is Easter
Sunday on the 24th.
This is a lot planned for our
community! Please come on
over and join us in any and all
of these opportunities.
My grandpa's birthday was
April 23. He was born in 1881.
My grandson, T.K., will get to
celebrate his birthday on Easter
Sunday!
Please pray for each other,
our military and our nation.


HHS Band Busy

With Many Events


Under the leadership of band
director Michael L. Hill,
Hardee Senior High School's
Blue Star Brigade and Winter
Guard are continuing to work
toward the end of the school
year.
The students volunteers of
this organization have just com-
pleted participation in Wauch-
ula's Friday Night Live Mardi
Gras events, which took place
on March 18. The students pro-
vided home-baked goods from
brownies and cookies to pine-
apple, carrot and German cho-
colate cakes as well as tradi-
tional king cake.
The evening's favorites were
the many varieties of cheese-
cakes that were offered and
served. Also sold were colorful
necklaces and helium balloons
for the band's fund raiser.
Other. promotional items
were the sale of advertisements
for the upcoming football pro-
grams and the commercial
advertisements that will be on
the equipment trailer that
accompanies the Blue Star Bri-
gade whenever it performs.
The Brigade was honored to


entertain those who were in
attendance with a sampling cf
lively pep music, a percussion
exhibition and, later in the
evening, a jazz solo by senior
Jamie Bashore, baritone saxo-
phonist.
As the school year moves
toward its end, the Blue Star
Brigade will be using its musi-
cal abilities on an upcoming
Band Day. May 12th will bring
the Spring Concert, in conjunc-
tion with Hardee Senior High
School's Chorus, which is un-
der the leadership of David
Radford. Plans are being made
for the band's annual awards
banquet.
Following these events, the
band and chorus will complete
the spring season with a trip to
Universal Studios in Orlando.
where both groups will share
their musical talents.
Hill will be completing his
first year as bandmaster for
Hardee, and has been excep-
tionally pleased with the musi-
cal abilities of his students and
is looking forward to the year
that lies ahead in 2011-12, he
says.

New Guideline Helps Doctors

Diagnose Breast Cancer


Fort Green News
By Rilla Cooper
773-6710


best possible care: new evi-
dence-based recommendations
from the College of American
Pathologists (CAP) and the
American Society of Clinical
Oncology (ASCO) that will
improve the accuracy of ER and
PgR testing in breast cancer.
As many as two-thirds of
breast cancers are ER and/or
PgR-positive with their growth
influenced by activation of the
estrogen receptor pathway. Ac-
curate determination of tumor
phenotype is critical to properly
select therapy options and indi-
vidualize treatments.
In particular, the new guide-
line recommends that breast
cancer patients should have
their tumor tested for estrogen
and progesterone receptors, and
that the testing should be per-
formed by an accredited labora-
tory that follows specific testing
procedures and handles the
samples in a consistent way.


According to Elizabeth Ham-
mond, M.D., FCAP, co-chair of
the CAP/ASCO Hormone Re-
ceptor Testing in Breast Cancer
Panel, a board-certified pathol-
ogist at Intermountain Health-
care, and professor of patholo-
gy at the University of Utah
School of Medicine, "Increased
attention to simple measures
such as the handling of tissue
specimens from the moment
they are taken from the patient
to when they reach the patholo-
gist, the uniform fixation of
specimens, the standardization
and validation of lab assays,
rigorous reporting procedures
and greater access to treatment
interventions have the potential
to significantly improve breast
cancer outcomes around the
world."
The CAP/ASCO Panel also
expects that the new ER/PgR
guideline will foster improved
communications among cancer

guidelines and certify that they own the home to be assisted and
that it is their principal residence. Additionally, first mortgages,
property taxes and/or assessments must be current. The property to
be assisted must be free from any liens or judgments. Preference
will be given to lower income, elderly and/or physically impaired
homeowners. The total household income, adjusted for family
size, must be within program limits.

The program provides an interest-free forgivable loan to qualified,
eligible applicants. All loans are deferred until point of sale,
transfer of title, moving refinancing with a cash pay-out,
refinancing with higher interest rate, failure to maintain
homeowner's insurance or failure to occupy the home. At the end
of the lien period, the forgivable loan is forgiven and does not
require repayment, if all program requirements are met.

specialists and also between
patients and their doctors. "It is
our hope that the CAP/ASCO
ER/PgR guideline will facilitate
processes at each health system
and institution, so that appropri-
ate measures to ensure accurate
predictive biomarker testing
[including ER/PgR] are in place
and that breast cancer patients
receive the highest quality care
possible," says Dr. Hammond.
Chermok agrees. "My skilled
team of a radiologist, surgeon,
and pathologist had brought me
this far, and I had great confi-
dence that my pathologist had
correctly identified the nature
structure of the tumor cells, and
given the oncology team the
information necessary to create
a plan of treatment."
The College of American
Pathologists offers two web-
sites, www.MyHealthTestRe-
minder.org and www.MyBiop-
sy.org. These sites can help a
woman remember to schedule
her next mammogram, as well
as provide her a patient guide if
she is diagnosed with breast
cancer, including breast cancer
that is ER/PgR-positive.


About one in eight women
will be diagnosed with breast
cancer, but the disease is much
more than a statistic to Ruth
Chermok.
Chermok is a breast cancer
survivor who was diagnosed
with ER/PgR-positive breast
cancer at age 46. "I was on top
of the world. Rick, my high
school sweetheart, and I had
just celebrated our 25th wed-
ding anniversary and had start-
ed our lives as empty nesters.
Life throws you for a loop
sometimes. Shortly after, I was
diagnosed with ER/PgR-posi-
tive breast cancer."
Thanks to her medical team,
Chermok can count herself as a
survivor.
That team included a patholo-
gist-a physician who examines
cells, bodily fluids, and tissues
to diagnose disease. And now,
pathologists have a new tool to
help them give their patients tFie

By JOAN SEAMAN
Of The Herald-Advocate
No rainouts last week. The

.got all its games played last
week.
By week's end, the Country-

were the Joe L. Davis Braves,
the All Creature Animal Hos-
pital Reds and the Joe Albritton

There were no games on
Monday or Tuesday this week
because of the FCAT testing.
Games resume today (Thurs-

Last Monday, the Country-

and rushed past the All Creature

the bases four times. Carlos

onado, Larrett Smith, Marquis
Delgado, Benjamin Staton,
Elias Montoya and Aaron

On Tuesday night, the Chap-
man Fruit Red Sox got the 12-2
best of the Joe Albritton In-
surance Giants.


Isaac Flores, Keith Choate,
Alex Rodriguez, Pablo Salgado,
Tony Servin and Zach Macias
all put twin scores on the board
for the Red Sox. Daniel Everett
scored one. Other Red Sox are
Wyatt Zeigler, Mason Block,
Kyle Choate and Johnny
Shelton.
Joseph Crawford and Landon

to get all the way home. Several
others were stopped short of
home plate. Also playing for the
Giants are Brandon Franks,
Thomas Atchley, Ryan Moore,
Kole Robertson, Brad Collum,
Ivan Badillo, Kai Shakir-
Washington, Tirease Morris,
Edgar Lucatero and Daniel
Ortiz.
Thursday's game was a
thriller as the Joe L. Davis
Braves nipped the Red Sox 3-2.
Boone Paris scored in the
first inning and again in the
sixth to win the game for the
Braves. Parker Carlton also
scored in the first inning. Other
Braves are Hayden Lindsey,

tion and a card that was signed
by most in the park. They will
be sadly missed, and they have
shown us places in Florida we
would never have seen. They

Crystal Lake but now will have
some time to themselves.

WELCOME TO PARADISE
Well, another season has
come and gone. It seemed like
the weather just turned really
nice and then it is time for most
of us to return to our homes in
the North. Safe traveling to
those who have a few more
weeks here.
Don't forget to keep your
park directory with you this
summer if you are traveling. It
is always nice to have some
unexpected guests drop by. The
ninth annual Crystal Lake Re-
union in Ontario this summer is
Aug. 6. It is for current and for-
mer residents. We hope to see a
lot of you then.
I would like to thank Diane
Burget for her contribution with
the Church News.
Keep me updated on all our
winter friends whether it is
health issues or a special birth-
day or anniversary. It is always
nice hearing from everyone
over the summer, telling me
what you are up to or where you
are traveling to over the sum-
mer.
Doug and I would like to
wish everyone a happy, healthy
and safe summer. Until No-
vember,
May God bless you and your
family.


When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you
believe that you will be able to converse well with this
person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is
transitory.

This week in history, as
researched from the archival
pages of The Florida Ad-
vocate, the Hardee County
Herald and The Herald-Ad-
vocate ...

75 YEARS AGO
The Wauchula primary de-
partment and grade school pre-
sented its annual program on
Friday evening. The Baptist
Church orchestra provided the
music as the children performed
an operetta in which fairies,
butterflies, very animate blos-
soms and Old Sol himself sang
and danced the colorful story of
flowers.

Dark nights find ma
hunters in quest of the hus
croakers as the local frog legs
market soars. A thousand
pounds of frog legs were
shipped. That brings the season
total so far to 33,000 pounds.
Hunters are paid 11 cents per
pound for the whole frog and
dressed frogs bring 25 cents per
pound.

"The Singing Kid," starring
Al Jolson in the stellar role and
including numbers by Cab
Calloway, will be at the Royal
Theatre Sunday and Monday.
On Tuesday and Wednesday,
Miss Bette Davis will co-star
with Leslie Howard in "The
Petrified Forest."

The opening of Stan's Place,
between the bank and Ferg-
uson's Store, has been an-
nounced. Manager Loyce Tim-
mons and helpers will offer
sandwiches of all kinds, beer,
cigars, cigarettes, coffee, can-
dies and cold drinks.

50 YEARS AGO
The Wauchula City Council
has agreed to cancel two bills,
totaling $1,083.84, against
Trexler Construction Co. in
exchange for a bill of sale from
the company for all the sewer
and water lines and fire
hydrants in the Riverview-
Subdivision east of Wauchula.
At present only one of the 35
homes in the subdivision is con-
nected to the system.

High winds in the past week
have damaged cucumber plants
and small fruit from the vines,
making prices higher for the 50
percent remaining. Around
2,000 bushels of table cukes
and an additional 285 bushels
of pickle cukes were brought in
last week, brining an average of
$4 a bushel. Tomato picking is
still a couple of weeks away,
but they also suffered from the
whipping wind and driving
sand.

Grady's Super Market has a
basketful of savings: instant
coffee, 69 cents for a 6 oz. jar;

won a $139,092 grant for sewer
system improvements from the

mental Regulation under the
Small Community Sewer Con-
struction Act. It will fund infil-

city's aging sewer system.

State Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Doyle Conner visited
the CF Mining research center

Meanwhile, in Zolfo Springs,
Mayor Lois Dandridge has
asked the Town Council to
review its alcohol ordinance

bers of the business community
need to be reconsidered in a
vote before the council.

times make pets of kanga-
roos.

Soon a year will have passed since the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf. From the beginning,
we have taken responsibility for the cleanup. Our commitment to the Gulf remains unchanged, as
does our responsibility to keep you informed.

Committed to the Gulf
No oil has flowed into the Gulf since July 15th. As our efforts continue, nearly 100% of the waters
are open and the beaches are clean and open. To ensure its safety, Gulf seafood has been more
rigorously tested by independent researchers and experts than any other seafood in the world.
To date, BP has spent more than $13 billion in clean-up costs.

Restore the Environment
An additional $282 million has been spent on environmental issues, including wildlife rescue and
restoration of wildlife refuges across the region. We have also committed $500 million to the
Gulf of Mexico Research Institute to fund scientific studies on the potential impact of the spill.

Help to Rebuild the Economy
$5 billion in claims have already been paid. We've committed $20 billion to an independent fund
to pay for environmental restoration and all legitimate claims, including lost incomes. More than
$200 million in grants have been made to the Gulf Coast States to promote tourism and seafood.

Learn and Share the Lessons
This was a tragedy that never should have happened. Our responsibility is to learn from it and share
with competitors, partners, governments and regulators to help ensure that it never happens again.

We know we haven't always been perfect but we are working to live up to our
commitments, both now and in the future.
