A love for horses:Local boy in national shows

Spurlock

takes

honors

The largest horse show in
Florida took place in Gainesville,
Fla. at the Florida Fall Classic and
Paint-O-Rams horse shows
where Austin Ryan Spurlock
exhibited E.T. (short for Eternity)
for two days.
The event took center stage
and took Florida by storm after
the first day of competition. On
the first day Austin. and E.T.
would compete in the Youth
Geldings Halter class against 17
other youth exhibitors and their
horses from all over the United
States and Mexico including but
not limited to Illinois, Louisiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, New Jersey,
California, and Georgia.
On the first day of competition
the four judges where from Geor-
gia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and
Texas. Austin and E.T. would be
awarded two first places, beating
the World Champion Horse at
third place, and a fourth place.
The four judges for the next
competition were from Okla-
homa and California. Austin and
E.T. competed against 18 other
exhibitors and their horses.
Austin and E.T. received two
second places, beating the World
Champion Horse and two 3rd
places.
For earning so many points
during the two days that Austin
showed, he received the Youth
Superior Dixie Paint Horse Club
Award.
This was the first time Austin
showed E.T. but not the first time
that Austin has been center stage.
When Austin was younger he
competed in pageants where he
enjoyed being in the spotlight.
Austin graduated into the show-
manship part of pageantry with
horses. Austin has been riding
horses since he was 3 years old.
He started showing at age 5 rid-
ing in a lead line class at the Sun-
coast Horseman's Association at
the Jackson County Agriculture
Center in Marianna, Florida on a
Palomino Quarter horse named
Goldie. After his experience there
was no looking back. Austin was
hooked.
Austin's aunt acquired a new
mare named Zoe, who he then ,
started showing in Halter and
Western riding classes. The pair
dominated their competition.

higher education.

offers online

tax service

Frostproof News
The Polk County Tax Collec-
tor's Office out in front again
with online services!
In 2000, the Office of Joe G.
Tedder, Tax Collector, was the
first local government office in
the state to offer a full compli-
ment of online payment servic-
es. Now, the tax office reports
that Mr. Tedder and his staff are
the first to offer Florida specialty
tags or license plates online.
Specialty Tags, created by the
legislature in 1990, allow tag-
holders to support their favorite
college, sports team or good
cause with the purchase of atag
which promotes various non-
profit organizations and environ-
mental ellorts, etc.
In the past, when someone
wanted to purchase a specialty
tag, they had to make a visit to a
Branch Office of the Tax Collec-
tor and conduct the transaction
in person. Now, with the current
upgrade, when someone wants

Austin and Zoe have received first
places in their halter classes and
first place in their Walk-Trot
Novice Western Pleasure riding
classes. There are times that 18
other exhibitors and horses com-
peted against each other in these
classes. They have also received
first and second places in the
Walk-Trot Youth 12 and under
classes with eight other
exhibitors showing. The pair
have also placed fourth in a
Men's Walk-trot with a total of 16
exhibitors in the class. The team
brought home a first in the Youth

Western Pleasure 12 and under

the class. This two are an incredi-

The story for Zoe is only half
told. When Zoe was acquired by
Martie Stern, Zoe was recovering
from an almost fatal accident.
When Zoe was four years old,
her former owners had given
permission to have a tail block
done on her. This procedure

Additionally, the Tax Collec-
tor's Office announces lower
fees for regular internet and tele-
phone renewals beginning Sep-
tember 1st. The 2.95% conven-
ience fees are being dropped in
a concerted effort to drive more
transactions through the Tax
Collector's website and auto-
mated telephone system. Inter-
net and telephone transactions
are one of the most efficient
ways for the Tax Collector's
"Office to process registration
renewals.
This fee reduction only
applies to regular registration
renewals conducted online or

Helpful tips to

save at pumps

Unless you remember the
Arab oil embargo in the 1970s,
the rocket-rapid rise in gas
prices has probably caused a
gasp or two as you shell out
your sheckels at the pump.
What can you do?
The United States Depart-
ment of Energy has some tips
for you. Any little bit helps but
taken together, here are some
significant savings..
In case you've forgotten,
here is the brush-up course in
getting more bang for the
buck(s) you have to spend
when you gas your vehicle.
Drive sensibly: Aggressive
driving (speeding, rapid accel-

eration and braking) wastes
gas. It can lower gas mileage by
33 percent at highway speeds
and by 5 percent around town.
Observe the speed limit]:
Gas mileage decreases rapidly
at speeds above 60 mph.
Each 5 mph you drive over
60 mph is like paying an addi-
tional $0.15 per gallon for gas.
Remove excess weight]:
Avoid keeping unnecessary
items is your vehicle, especially
heavy ones. An extra 100
pounds in your vehicle could
reduce your MPG by up to 2
percent. The reduction is based

Consumers warned about

hurricane fund scams

TALLAHASSEE Florida
Agriculture and Consumer Ser-
vices Commissioner Charles
Bronson is urging people to
check out charities before
donating money to victims of
Hurricane Katrina. There is a
potential for scam artists pos-
ing as relief agencies for the
storm victims in Florida and
elsewhere.
In Florida, most charities
are required to register with
the Department and to provide
financial information, such as
how much is raised, how
much is spent on administra-
tive costs, fundraising and on
the program services. Charities
that solicit in Florida are
included in this requirement
even if they are located out of

state.
The Department has
received complaints in the past.
about organizations seeking
help for disaster victims and
pocketing the money. It is diffi-
cult to investigate these crimes
because the scam artists often
disappear from an area by the
time consumers realize they
have been conned. Out of state
charities are especially difficult
to follow up on so it's impor-
tant that people take the time
to check the background of a
charity prior to making a dona-
tion.
"I certainly support the idea
of people helping those who
have been victimized by this
terrible hurricane but I also
want to ensure that their gen-

erosity goes to the purpose for
which it is intended," Bronson
said. "By taking the time to do
a little research, people can
make sure that they don't
become victims of scam
artists."
Consumers can call the
Division of Consumer Service's
hotline at 1-800-HELP FLA (1-
800-435-7352) and check to
see if a charity is properly regis-
tered or exempt from registra-
tion; to find out how an organi-
zation spends its donations;
and to check on the complaint
history of a charity.
Charities that are located
out of state and do not solicit in
Florida do not have to be regis-

the horse will no longer be able to
swish its tail. During the procedure
Zoe was accidentally given the
drug in a main nerve. The result
from the mistake was horrible. Zoe
became paralyzed.
Zoe was taken to the University
of Florida for evaluation and treat-
ment for several weeks and as the
bills mounted the owners decided
that they could no longer pay for
her care and announced to the
doctors that they would have to put
Zoe to sleep.
The doctor pleaded with them
to give her 24 more hours to see if
she showed any signs of improve-,
ment so Zoe's owners waited.
Miraculously in those 24 hours Zoe
gained feeling back in her hind legs
and was able to stand again. The
doctors said that Zoe would never
be the same and that she would
never be able to show.
Since her release from the hos-
pital Zoe was given to her new
owners and has been in recovery
for four years. Zoe has been show-
ing for three years now. Two and
half of those years Zoe and Austin
have been showing together. She
has beating all of the odds. The
owners who love and care for her
and a little boy's bond has given
her so much joy and the inspiration
to keep on moving.
Austin's love for horses ,and
showing has brought yet another
member of the family back to her
old roots. Austin's mother Mary
Spurlock once showed in the
American Palomino Association
where she was awarded the Most
Improved Youth Award. Mary
stopped showing when she left for
College.
"I enjoying making these new
memories with the family they are
just like the memories that my dad
made with my sister and I. These
lost moments in time remind me of
the days we used to have together
and they make me feel close to him
again," she said.
Mother and son now show in
the American Paint Horse and
Pinto Associations. Their horse's
name is Sasha. Her registered
name is "I B A Dominate Lady."
She is 16. 4 hand double registered
Paint/Pinto. Austin has received
two registers of Merit from the
Paint Association one with E.T. and

one with Sasha.
Austin and Sasha currently have
11 wins under their belts in the
Youth Halter Mare Division and
ninth overall in the nation. Mary
has also received her Register of
Merit with Sasha in the Amateur
Halter Mares Division and Open
Halter Mare Division. Mary and
Sasha are Top 20 in the Nation.
Austin and Mary are up for the
Rookie of the Year Award in their
Divisions.
Mother and son have approxi-
mately 20 more shows this year.
The number of judges can be up to
four at each show. With each judge
there is a possibility of more points.
Packing on more points before the

end of the year is a great possibility
for this two. The added points
would enable them to slide on up
in the standings to make the Honor
Roll list.
"Austin has been the youngest
exhibitor in all of his classes. He
becomes a different person," said
his mother. "When he walks in
with his horse he commands the
arena. Austin has a special pres-
ence about him that makes him
shine brighter then all the others
around him. Austin is noticed right
away. Maybe it's Papa Frazier guid-
ing him. I'm not sure. I do know
one thing that boy has a love for
horses".

as much of their commodities as
possible to reduce their losses,"

NOTICE
Independent Newspapers will
never accept any advertise-
ment that is illegal or con-
sidered fraudulent. In all
cases of questionable val-
ue, such as promises of
guaranteed income from
work-at-home programs if
it sounds too good to be
true, chances are that it is.
If you have questions or
doubts about any ad on
these pages, we advise that
before responding or send-
ing money ahead of time,
you check with the Better
Business Bureau at
772-878-2010 for previous
complaints.
Some 800 and 900 telephone
numbers may require an
extra charge, as well as
long distance toll costs. We
will do our best to alert our
reader of these charges in
the ads, but occasionally
we may not be aware of the
charges. Therefore, if you
call a number out of your
area, use caution.

Dove hunt permits on sale

Dove Hunt permits go on
sale at 10 a.m. EDT on Sept. 18
for special-opportunity dove
fields throughout the state, the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conser-
vation Commission (FWC)
announced.
The cost for the daily permit
is $35, which enables one adult
and one youth (under age 16) to
hunt together, but allows only
one daily bag limit of birds to be
harvested between them.
Daily permits are available
for the following special-oppor-
tunity dove fields:
Allapattah (Martin County
- 17 permits),
Bayard (Clay County 10
permits),
Caravelle Ranch (Putnam
County- 40 permits),
Frog Pond (Dade County -
37 permits),
Fussel Road (Polk County -

15 permits)',
Hilochee (Polk County- 15
permits),

HUNT-FLORIDA '(486-8356),
from county tax collectors'
offices or licensed agents.
Sportsmen also have the
option of buying a $10 Youth
Permit at the same time a Dove
Hunt Permit is purchased. This
enables the youth (under age
16), while hunting under the
supervision of the adult permit
holder, to be able to harvest his
or her own daily bag limit of
birds.

"Quality dove hunting oppor-
tunities are in high demand but
are often hard to find," said
FWC's small-game biologist,
Kurt Hodges. "These special-
opportunity dove fields are
planted and managed by the
FWC and offer great hunting
opportunities in a friendly, social
atmosphere that provides the
perfect setting for friends and
family, including youngsters, to
hunt together."
Beginning Sept. 30, up-to-
date information on field condi-
tions and bird numbers will be
available by visiting the Dove
Hunter's Hotline at
MyFWC.com/dove or by calling
(850) 875-BIRD (2473).

Some newspapers seem to take pleasure in the bad news. Not
us.

We do print "bad" news. (It IS newsworthy when things go
wrong, and citizens need to know about problems.)

Still, we give most of our attention to good news the kind you
clip and tape to your refrigerator door. (This isn't difficult. The
vast majority of what happens in our community IS good.)

How are we doing?

and I believe he will be closely
followed by Marcus Marshall,"
stated Coach Rick Moody. Mar-
cus is the only other lone veteran
and was injured during last
year's Cross Country season. He
fired up the track last year with
personal best times in the 800
and 1500 meters. After these
two, the Warriors are a very
young team. The young fresh-
men team will be led by Charlie
Tempelton, Carlos Guerrero,
Jimmy Swauger, Thomas
Weeks, and Tommy Chasanoff.
"1 am excited about this year's
team because I have runners
that ran Cross Country in high
school. Last year, I inherited a
few Cross Country runners and
many sprinters that ran for the
conditioning. I feel that Webber
picked up great student-athletes
that have tremendous poten-
tial," said Coach Moody.

WIU Tennis players
receive awards
Five members of the Webber
International University men's
tennis team qualified and
received the Intercollegiate Ten-
nis Association (ITA) Scholar-
Athlete Award for the 2004-2005
academic year. The players
named were: Christophe
Bonadona, Emerson Correa,
Leigh Griffiths, Nico Jungkind
and Yuiti Lopes.
This accomplishment leaves
Webber International's men's
tennis team as the only NAIA
school in the country to have
five student-athletes to earn this

award in 2005.
Not only did this team excel
in the classroom, but they were
ranked 15th in the nation in
NAIA. Under first year coach,
Patricio Misitrano, they carried
on a valuable tradition and qual-
ified for the NAIA national tour-
nament in Mobile, AL.
In order to earn ITA Scholar-
Athlete status, a player must
meet the following criteria:
1. Be a varsity letter winner.
2. Have a grade point average
of at least 3.50 cumulative.
3. Have been enrolled at their
present school for a minimum of
two semesters.
The Warriors will be starting
fall practice very soon, preparing
for the ITA Regional Tourna-
ment.

WIU 2005 Women's
cross country preview
The Lady Warriors have a full
team! Not only a full team, but
according to Coach Moody, "the
women should go from worst in
the conference and region to
one of the top three teams. To
my knowledge, this is the first
official women's team that actu-
ally filled the women's roster."
The only returnee from last
year's team is Junior Joslyne
Scofield. Coach Moody was able
to recruit six other women to fill

the women's roster. Not only are
the men young but the women
are too. They will be led by 20:20
5K high school runner, Carrie
Rowe from St. Augustine. "Car-
rie was a big pick-up for up; she
has so much potential and is a
great leader." She will be closely
followed by Stephanie Reibach
and Katherine Ragia. "These
two runners are exact opposites
when it comes to distance.
Stephanie will set fire on the
track with a PR of 2:19 in the 800
meters and Katherine loves to
log the long mileage." Caryn
Dionne and Dabney Bartlett are
both from Marin County High
School. Caryn was a former All-
State runner in the 3200 meters
and a sub 20 minute 5K runner.
Dabney could be a solid six or
seven runner for the Warriors.
Ashley McClellan from Lincoln
High School in Tallahassee is
also another freshman that
Coach Moody believes will make
strong improvements through-
out the year. Coach Moody had
much imore to say about his new
women's team. "As long as
everyone stays healthy, then we
look pretty good. I expect all
seven runners to contribute
something big at each meet. I
can't wait to see the improve-
ments we have made during the
past few weeks," said Moody.

Guest Commentary

We can all help hurricane victims

As the nation continues to
witnesses the destruction and
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina,
many Floridians have contacted
me to ask how they can best
help in the relief efforts. I have
included helpful information on
my website to assist you in help-
ing our friends across the Gulf
Coast region as they continue
recovery efforts from one of the
worst natural disasters to ever hit
our nation. I have provided the
link below which contains infor-
mation on finding the status of
missing relatives, organizations
to contact for donations and vol-
unteer information, as well as
the latest news on the affected
region.
I also want to ensure you that
1 an working with my col-
leagues here in Florida and
across the nation to respond
effectively to this crisis.
Just as the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA)
responded to Florida during our
hurricane crisis last year, FEMA
has deployed unprecedented
resources to help the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. This includes
more than 50 Disaster Medical
Assistance Teams and 25 Urban
Search and Rescue Teams to
help save as many lives as possi-
ble. The United States Coast
Guard continues conducting
search and rescue missions in
some of the most devastated
areas in New Orleans, which
continues to be flooded. The
Department of Health and
Human Services and the Centers
for Disease Control are workifig
to place victims with medical
needs into operating hospitals,
and providing important
resources to medical personnel
to help ensure the health of Hur-
ricane Katrina's victims.
Our military, the Department

of Defense, has deployed per-
sonnel and resources to provide
for search and rescue missions,
disaster response equipment,
and a hospital ship to provide
medical care. In addition, the
National Guard has nearly
11,000 Guardsmen to assist with
the growing need for security
and other disaster response
efforts.
We are also continuing efforts
to ensure that adequate food,
water, shelter and medical sup-
plies are provided to survivors.
The Department of Transporta-
tion has provided more than 400
trucks to bring millions of meals,
gallons of waters, and ice, along
with tarps, generators, disaster
supplies, blankets, cots, and
other important supplies, to the
dislocated citizens along the Gulf
Coast.
We are also working to
remove debris, where possible,

and restore critical infrastructure
that is necessary to begin the
important process of recovery,
including establishing power
lines, communication centers,
and roads.
This is a devastating time for
the Gulf Coast region, particular-
ly Louisiana, and I stand com-
mitted to help serve the needs of
the region and state. I hope you
will join me in the important
recovery efforts during the com-
ing weeks, months, and years as
the people of the Gulf Coast
rebuild. Again, please visit the
link below to learn more in how
you can help in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.

Forestry workers join relief effort

TALLAHASSEE Florida Agri-
culture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles Bronson
has dispatched more than 180
forestry personnel with the Depart-
ment's Division of Forestry, 21 law
enforcement personnel from the
Agricultural Law Enforcement
Office and a team with the Division
of Animal Industry to assist in hur-
ricane response efforts in Missis-
sippi as well as in central and
southeast Florida.
The Division of Forestry has
sent more than 60 personnel to the
six southernmost counties in Mis-
sissippi to help with search and
rescue efforts, coordination of
incoming response agencies, and
setting up systems to distribute
emergency supplies. Agricultural
Law Enforcement will be assisting
with search and rescue and other
law enforcement functions. In
addition, a forestry team has also
been located at the Palm Beach
County fairgrounds since Friday
coordinating the arrival of and dis-
tribution of water and ice to
numerous "PODs" or points of dis-
tribution in impacted areas of
southeast Florida. From Saturday
through this morning the team has
dispatched 60 semi truckloads of
ice and 55 semi truckloads of
water. Forestry personnel have

Obituary

Gayla Jean Greenwary
Gayla Jean Greenway, 56, of
Frostproof died Sunday, Sept. 4,
2005 at Lake Wales Medical Cen-
ter. Mrs. Greenway was born Aug.

dent of Frostproof. She was a

her parents and 3 brothers.

band, Bobby Greenway of Frost-
proof. Son; Cory Lane Greenway

been in Live Oak, Florida coordi-
nating the distribution of emer-
gency supplies around the state.
The Division of Forestry has
four special Incident Command
units that respond not only to wild-
fires but other emergencies as
well. One team has been working
with the National Guard at the
Palm Beach County fairgrounds to
coordinate distribution of supplies
that have been requested by local
emergency operations centers to
the state emergency operations
center. Two teams en route to Mis-
sissippi were requested by state
officials there to help in hurricane
recovery. Incident Command
teams are trained to work alone or
within the structure of other agen-
cies responding to a disaster.
"Many people know that our
forestry personnel are out in force
during wildfires but they may not

realize they are also on the scene
when other disasters strike, "Mr.
Bronson said. "I'd like to com-
mend our hardworking employ-
ees for leaving their families during
a disaster so that victims of storms
and other crises can get the help
they need."
Mississippi has also asked for
help with animal issues and the
Department's Division of Animal
Industry has assembled a team
experienced in animal and agricul-
ture issues. They.will be working
with the Mississippi state emer-
gency operations center helping to
establish response activities as
they pertain to animals, including
livestock, equine and pets.
The forestry personnel will
remain in Mississippi for two
weeks and Animal Industry per-
sonnel will be in Mississippi for at
least seven days.
