Miller's music sets the mood


On Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007, the
Frostproof Band Boosters will
present the world famous Glenn
Miller Orchestra in a benefit con-
cert for the Frostproof
Middle/Senior High School
Bands. The concert, which will
begin at 7:30 p.m., will take place
in the brand new Frostproof High
School Performing Arts Center.
The band will perform many of
Miller's arrangements, including
such favorites as "In the Mood,"
"Moonlight Serenade," and
"Pennsylvania 6-5000." Started in


Polk County Sheriff's detec-
tives executed search warrants
for several residences through-
out Polk County.
Unusual activity consistent
with a "Grow-House" opera-
tion was observed at several of
the locations which led to the
investigation.
As a result, numerous mari-
juana grow house operations
were located and dismantled,
and several suspects were
identified and arrested. Detec-
tives also seized approximate-
ly $10,000 in currency and one
vehicle. A total of 1,981 mari-
juana plants were seized. The
following is a list of the loca-
tions of the executed search
warrants and their results:
2170 Old Grove Trail, Frost-
proof (documents), 1942 Old
Grove Trail, Frostproof (docu-
ments), 6 Blue Jordan Road,
Frostproof (49 marijuana
plants), 2724 Grimes Road,
Lakeland ($3,000.00 currency
- residue), 1100 Airport Road,
Lakeland (310 marijuana
plants), 480 Heather Court,
Bartow (170 marijuana
plants), 197 Lake Thomas
Drive, Winter Haven (docu-
ments), 6529 Fox Crest Lane,
Lakeland ($7,000.00 currency
- residue).


1938, the Glenn Miller Orchestra
is one of the most popular swing
dance band in history.
The legendary Glenn Miller
was one of the most successful of
all the dance bandleaders back in
the Swing era of the 1930s and
'40s. A matchless string of hit
records, the. constant impact of
radio broadcasts, and the draw-
ing power at theatres, hotels, and
dance pavilions built and sus-
tained the momentum of popu-
larity.
Miller disbanded his orchestra


in 1942, at the height of its popu-
larity, volunteered for the Army,
and then organized and led the
famous Glenn Miller Army Air
Force Band. It went to Europe to
entertain servicemen, and then,
on Dec. 15, 1944, Major Miller
took off in a single-engine plane
from England to precede his
band to France, never to be seen
again. The army declared him
officially dead a year later.
Due to the popular demand,
the Miller Estate authorized the
formation of the present Glenn


Miller Orchestra in 1956 under
the direction of drummer Ray
McKinley, who had become the
unofficial leader of the Army Air
Force Band after Miller's disap-
pearance. Since then, other lead-
ers have followed Ray including
clarinetists Buddy DeFranco and
Peanuts Hucko, trombonists
Buddy Morrow and Jimmy Hen-
derson, and tenor saxophonist
Dick Gerhart. Larry O'Brien, the
current leader, is a trombonist
who has performed with Frank
Sinatra, Tom Jones, Wayne New-


ton, and Pia Zadora.
The 19-member band contin-
ues to play many of the original
Miller arrangements that keep
exciting fans who have not heard
them played for a while. Addi-
tionally, they are playing more
modern selections in the big-
band style, carefully selecting
only those newer tunes that lend
themselves naturally to the Miller
style and sound, carefully select-
ing pieces that will stay around

founder R.H.



Futral passes


By Amy Polk
Robert Herman Futral
founder of Futral Markets passed
away in his home Friday, Jan. 12,
2007. He was 98 years old.
Robert Herman Futral
founded Futral Markets 71 years
ago in July of 1936. In 1935 R.H.
Futral was transferred from Fort
Myers to open and manage an
All-America Store (called A & A)
in Frostproof. The next year, in
1936 anti-trust legislation was
passed by the state of Florida
that taxed a one time $500-tax
to each store ih a chain. The
owner of 35 All-American
Stores in central Florida could
not afford the tax and had to sell
the stores to each of the man-
agers. RH Futral bought the All
American Store in Frostproof
and began his career in the gro-


cery business.
In those days there wasn't
any electricity to speak of. Walk-
in coolers used blocks of ice to
cool down meat. There was no
air conditioning, no electronic
cash registers, no scanners, and
certainly no computers. Cus-
tomers didn't walk down the
aisle with carts; clerks stood
behind counters and took orders
for flour, potatoes, and rice, the
main staples at the time. Orders
were rung up with a hand oper-
ated adding machine.
71 years later Futral's Food-
way is still a vibrant business in
the community, despite heavy
competition of mass merchan-
disers and chains. Up until his
death on Friday, you could find
him in his chair at the front of the

off to a good start for the new
year, as he closed a $3.3 million
loan in late December that will
be credited in 2007.
"Brian is committed to the
highest level of service to our
business customers," Littleton
said.


A lifelong Lake Walean, Mar-
butt joined the bank in May

years with Mid-Florida Federal
Credit Union. He serves on the
YMCA Board of Directors, has

Headrick homicide


r a .
Frostproof News/Cindy Monk
Eric Rodriguez is charged
with first degree murder and
robbery of Angelia Michelle
Headrick.


Gary Michael Glisson is
charged with first degree
murder, robbery and arson of
Angelia Michelle Headrick.


Jarvis Jameal Mosley is
charged with first degree
murder, robbery and arson of
Angelia Michelle Headrick.


Angelia Michelle Headrick's
charred 2001 Mitsubishi
Gallant with her remains
was found in an orange
grove off of Drawdy Road in
Babson Park.


Polk Sheriff's detectives have
arrested three men in connection
with the homicide investigation
surrounding missing Haines City
youth, Angelia Michelle Headrick.
Headrick was reported missing
Wednesday evening, Jan. 3,2007.
"Detectives have worked
around the clock," said Sheriff
Grady Judd. "We were determined
not to rest until we had the murder-
er or murderers in custody."
Arrested were: Eric Rodriguez,
Hispanic Male, DOB 6/20/1986,
4085 H. L. Smith Road, Haines City.
Rodriguez is charged with First
Degree Murder and Robbery. Gary
Michael Glisson, White Male, DOB
2/14/1977, 3553 N. Scenic High-
way, Lake Wales. Glisson is
charged with First Degree Murder,
Robbery and Arson. Jarvis Jameal
Mosley, Black Male, DOB 4/8/1983,
207 N. 1st Street, #325, Lake
Wales. Mosley is charged with First
Degree Murder, Robbery and
Arson.
The suspects confessed to beat-
ing, stabbing and robbing Head-
rick, a 90 pound blond, blue eyed
youth. "They said they had no
intention of letting her live," said
Chief W J. Martin, commander of
the Sheriff's Office Criminal Inves-
tigative Division. Martin said the
detectives learned of Rodriguez's
possible involvement early on and
as the investigation progressed, the
other two suspects were identified.
According to suspects state-
ments Headrick was lured to Glis-
son's home Wednesday, Jan. 3,
2007. The four then traveled to a
grove off of Masterpiece Road,
Lake Wales, where she was beaten
and stabbed to death during the
late evening and early morning
hours of Wednesday Jan. 3, 2007,
and Thursday, Jan. 4,2007.
Her body was placed in her
vehicle and the three suspects trav-
eled back to Glisson's residence.
They hid the vehicle, with the
body inside, in a grove across from
Glisson's residence for a short time
Thursday.
Rodriguez left the residence as
Glisson and Mosley planned how
to dispose of the car and body.
Later Thursday, Jan. 4, 2007,
Glisson drove Headrick's vehicle as
Mosley followed in a second vehi-
cle, to an orange grove off of
Drawdy Road, Babson Park where
the vehicle was set on fire.
A grove worker had seen the
fire Thursday, Jan. 4, 2007 at 1:30
p.m., but thought it was other
grove workers clearing downed
trees. The same worker found the
charred out vehicle Friday, Jan. 5,
2007, and reported his discovery to
the Sheriff's Office.

Tutoring Today For Excellence to host 'Open House'


Tutoring Today for Excel-
lence, Inc, located at 225 N.
Scenic Highway, Frostproof will
host an "Open House" on Jan.
18, 2007 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
We invite everyone to stop by
our office, meet the staff and get
information about the various
programs.
Director, Chequeita Childs-
Lewis opened the Frostproof
office on Nov. 27, 2006. Tutoring
services are provided year round


for students from Pre-K through
12th grade, and home-schooled
students. An Adult Literacy Edu-
cation program is also available.
All tutoring staff members are
certified teachers or are current-
ly working on their certification.
After school tutoring is offered
Monday through Friday.
Summer programs will also
be available. The Frostproof
office also serves Lake Wales,
Babson Park, Ft. Meade, and


Avon Park as well as other sur-
rounding areas.
Mrs. Childs-Lewis has ties to
Frostproof through her husband,
Arthur Lewis, who is a native of
Frostproof. He attended schools
here along with his nine broth-
ers and sisters.
Mrs. Childs-Lewis is passion-
ate about working with children.
After teaching in Polk County for
eight years, she decided to start
a business that could make a big


difference for students who
need one-on-one help. "An
advantage of individual learning
is that there is no set agenda or
curriculum and the child can
move forward at a pace that
matches their needs", she said.
"When a child is enrolled in a
tutoring course, the staff is con-
stantly evaluating their progress
and modifying their program
accordingly. Within this learning
environment we see great gains,


and I find that very fulfilling on a
personal level."
Tutoring Today for Excel-
lence, Inc. also has an office in
Lakeland, located at 310 E.
Memorial Blvd.
More information is available
on the website: www.tutoring-
forexcellence.com. You may
contact the office by calling
863.635.9434 or by sending an
email to admin@tutoringforex-

Rotary presents An Evening to Remember'


Frostproof News/Cindy Monk
Rotary installs officers
The Frostproof Rotary Club installed its officers and direc-
tors for the 2006-2007 Rotary year, which began on July 1,
at their annual Christmas party. Pictured are District Gov-
ernor Ruben Alfaras of the Ybor City Rotary Club, Secretary
Mary Miller, President Ralph Waters, Treasurer Bea Reifeis,
and Vocational Service Chair Mary Ruth Wilson. Vice Pres-
ident/Club Service Chair Kenny Godwin and
Membership/International ServiceChair David Trimmier are
not pictured. The Frostproof Rotary Club serves the com-
munity with projects such as the annual Teachers Break-
fast, accelerated reading books for both Frostproof ele-
mentary schools, and dictionaries for 5th grade students.
The Club meets every Thursday at noon at City Hall. Any-
one interested in information about joining the Frostproof
Rotary Club should contact Bea Reifeis at (863) 635-2523.


On Saturday evening, Feb. 10,
2007, the Frostproof Interact and
Rotary Clubs will host "An
Evening to Reiiieinber" to benefit
the upgrade of lighting in the new
Frostproof Middle Senior High
School auditorium. The program
will feature Italian pianist
FrancQsco Attesti, who will thrill
the audience as his fingers float
across the keyboard while playing
intricate works by some of the
world's greatest composers, all
from memory. One previous con-
certgoer proclaimed,
"Francesco's music has a way of
speaking to your heart. The
whole world should be hearing
his music!"
In addition to Francesco, Ger-
man soprano Annika Kaschenz
will delight the audience with her
interpretation of the some of the


more popular arias. Critics have
praised her for her "expressive,
warm, and nevertheless flexible
voice." Others have said that "it
was not only the beautiful voice
that gathered the attention of the
audience but more importantly it
was Annika's personality and cre-
ative power" which made for an
unforgettable event.
The final treat of the evening
will be an aria performed by
Frostproof High School graduate
Alana Trimmer, who is making a
name for herself in local and
statewide opera circles with her
passionate interpretations.
"An Evening to Remember" is
the first part of a two-part series to
benefit the upgrade of lighting in
the new Frostproof Middle Senior,
High School auditorium. Rick
Ertenberg, teacher at FMSHS and


manager of. the auditorium,
explained, "There was a limited
budget for the construction and
furnishing of the auditorium. The
choice was made to put more
money into acoustics (sound)
and less into lighting. We need to
upgrade the lighting so that the
back of the stage is more visible
during theatrical and larger per-
formances."
The concert series is the only
fundraiser planned by the Frost-
proof Rotary for 2007, except for
the annual scholarship golf tour-
nament. In addition to the lighting
project, the Rotary hopes to earn
funds for the Teachers Breakfast,
Teen-of-the-Month recognition,
leadership conference tuition for
two FMSHS seniors, dictionaries
for fifth graders, and other educa-
tional and charitable projects.


Tickets are priced at $20 for
Francesco and Annika's "An
Evening to Remember" on Satur-
day, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. in the new
Frostproof High School auditori-
um. Tickets are priced at $10 for
the second concert in the series,
the Heart of Highland Show Cho-
rus' musical entertainment in bar-
bershop-style, on Sunday after-
noon, March 11, at 2 p.m., also in
the Frostproof High School Audi-
torium. A combination ticket is
available at a $5 discount and
includes admission to both con-
certs for only $25. For tickets, send
a check to The Frostproof Rotary
Charitable Foundation, Inc., PO
Box 456, Frostproof, FL 33843, or
ask any Frostproof Interactor or
Frostproof Rotarian, or call Mary
Miller at (863) 635-4668.

Health Fair offered to Polk County residents


POLK COUNTY, FL. Every-
one is invited to participate in a
Community Health Fair to be
sponsored by the Filipino Ameri-
can Association of Polk County
(FAAPCO) on Sunday, Jan. 27 at
the St. Joseph Church parish
center at 532 Avenue M. NW in
Winter Haven. The fair runs
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is open
to the public free of charge.
Citizens who attend the FAAP-
CO-sponsored health fair will be
able to take advantage of free
blood pressure screening and
gait/balance testing; reduced-
cost lipid and PSA testing; and
free medical information from a
number of health care providers
who are participating in the
event as FAAPCO partners.
"We invite everyone in Polk
County to take full advantage of
this wonderful opportunity to
receive free and reduced-cost


medical care," said Dr. Manny
Jain, president of FAAPO. Dr.
Jain and many other physicians
and nurses who are members
and friends of FAAPCO will pro-
vide the free blood pressure
screening and gait/balance test-
ing.
Organizations that are part-
nering with FAAPCO include
Heart of Florida Regional Med-
ical Center, Palm Garden Nurs-
ing Center of Winter Haven,
Senior Homecare, Good Shep-
pard Hospice, Rehab Specialists,
Inc., the Alzheimer's Foundation
and Schering Plough Pharma-
ceuticals. All of these organiza-
tions will provide free literature,
with Heart of Florida also provid-
ing instrumentation for much of
the medical testing.
The Health Fair is the latest
FAAPCO program designed to
assist the entire Polk County


community. The 20-member
FAAPCO coral group staged a
free Christmas concert for the
public last December. In Novem-
ber 50 FAAPCO members and
their children prepared and
served a full course Thanksgiv-
ing turkey dinner for nearly 200
homeless people at Talbot
House Ministries in Lakeland.
"We are deeply committed to
being actively involved in the
broader Polk County communi-
ty. The free Christmas concert,
the Thanksgiving meal for the
homeless and the Community
Health Fair are just some of the
many outreach projects we will
offer during the coming year to
benefit all Polk County citizens,"
Jain said.
In addition to the outreach
programs, FAAPCO provides
financial support to a poor
church parish in The Philippines

long-term relationships," said
Citizens Bank President Greg Lit-
tleton. "Our bankers meet you in
the grocery store, at church and

Massey understands the impor-
tance of not just meeting, but
exceeding customer expecta-
tions."

highly successful in generating
new loans.
"Being a longtime banker in
the local market, I am really
pleased to be a part of Citizens

"I'm committed to helping local
businesses with all of their bank-
ing needs."

ters," this month to get citizen's

venture of the Polk County Long
Range Planning Division and
Polk Vision. This project will
employ visioning and planning


techniques to address future
growth in Polk County. The pri-
mary purpose of these meetings
is. to listen to what citizens con-
sider the important issues facing
Polk County. The Polk County
Comprehensive Plan serves as a
blueprint or guide for future

It's not too late



for Flu shots


Central Florida Health Care,
Inc. of Frostproof, 109 West
Wall Street, offers flu shots
daily, Monday thru Friday 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and Saturday's 8 a.m.
to Noon.
The Cost is $20 and no
appointment is necessary.
Medicare Part B participants
can receive a flu vaccine with no
out of pocket expense (must
present Medicare Cared).
Pneumonia and Tetanus
shots are also available at $20
each.
The Center for Disease Con-
trol announced during the week
of Dec. 30, 2006 that influenza


activity continued to increase in
the United States. Florida, along
with Alabama, Georgia and Ten-
nessee, reported the highest
number of influenza cases.
Although, October or
November is the best time to get
vaccinated, getting vaccinated in
December or even later can still
be beneficial since most influen-
za activity occurs in January or
later in most years. Though it
varies, flu season can last as late
as May.
In general, any one who
wants to reduce the risk of get-
ting the flu should come in and
get a flu shot.


Sheriff Judd seeks



volunteers for CAP


Polk County Sheriff Grady
Judd is seeking volunteers will-
ing to partner with law enforce-
ment as members of a Fort Fras-
er Trail Citizen's Assisted Patrol
(CAP). The trail is a 7.7-mile
asphalt path near U.S. 98
between Lakeland and Bartow.
CAP volunteers are trained
members of the Sheriff's Office
crime fighting team.
Members will be trained in
patrol, crime observation, conm-
munication dispatch tech-
niques, and report writing. A
marked agency Golf Cart, will
be provided for patrol purposes.
Members will also be pro-
vided with a Volunteer uniform
shirt.
"The new trail allows our res-
idents to enjoy the community
at their leisure," said Sheriff
Grady Judd. "Our volunteers are
a valuable tool in preventing
crimes within their neighbor-
hoods. The trail will bring neigh-


bors from various communities
together. It just makes sense to
combine the two."
Establishing a volunteer sup-
port group is a top priority for
Sheriff Judd, and is essential to
the Sheriff's Office mission of
effectively reducing and prevent-
ing crime.
Anyone who has an interest in
gaining valuable work experi-
ence while helping to build a pos-
itive relationship between law
enforcement and the community
is encouraged to apply as a Polk
Sheriff's Office CAP volunteer.
Volunteers will be able to
work flexible schedules 6 a.m.
through 6 p.m. for two hour
shifts. Weekend patrols, when
use of the trail increases, are
especially needed.
For more information about
joining the Sheriff's Office team,
please call Volunteer Services at
863.534.6682.
