The Coun- cil will consist of 20 members who will serve voluntarily and meet quarterly with Sheriff Judd. Participants will be required to attend an all-day orientation session, and one evening meeting.every quarter thereafter. The first two Sheriff's Advi- sory Councils served as excel- lent sounding boards for Sher- iff Judd. The Councils tackled issues ranging from the Sher- iff's Office budget presenta- tion to the aftermath of the tragic murder of Deputy Sheriff Matt Williams and his K-9 part- ner, Diogi. Having spent time observing the various agency operations across the county, the members have gained priceless insight into the oper- ations of the Sheriff's Office. In turn, however, the agency has benefited to a greater degree as a result of their feedback and input.

That was the topic of an essay con- test hosted by the Florida Air Museum at Sun 'n Fun for Polk County students; as a way to cel- ebrate veterans and the day set aside to honor those who have served our country. Volunteers from Sun 'n Fun who have earned their status as veterans fanned out across the county during the first week in Novem- ber visiting participating schools and speaking to students. Then, in groups of 8-10, students con- ducted interviews and wrote essays that were submitted to the Florida Air Museum for judg- ing. The winner, Trey Norris, an 8th grader at Frostproof Middle School, along with his parents and teacher, Jennifer Sabin, attended the Florida Aviation Hall of Fame Induction Ceremo- ny held Dec. 15, 2006 in the Florida Air Museum. Trey read his essay before a crowd of dis- tinguished aviation history guests and was honored as part of the ceremony. His teacher received a full membership to the Florida Air Museum, which includes reciprocal admission and discounts to museums nationwide. Although only one student could win, four other students received Honorable Mentions: Rebecca Gelgads, McLaughlin Middle School, teacher Connie Paxton; Sarah Kendall, Lake Gibson Middle School, teacher: Deann Wajtylak; James Dygert, Auburndale, teacher Dianne Milner; and Cody Lyle, Fort Meade, teacher Brenda Hensley.

The Fly-In is the primary source of funding for Sun 'n Fun's expand- ing year-round aviation educa- tion programs. These include operation of the Florida Air Museum, the state's "Official Aviation Museum and Educa- tion Center," which is also sup- ported through grants from the Division of Historical Resources and Division of Cultural Affairs, Florida Department of State.

After interviewing David Waugh, Vidtnam War Veteran, I realized that soldiers from all over the United States have fought and died for our country so that I can experience free- dom and the right to fly the American Flag.

They have served as a group of individu- als to whom I could speak about any topic affecting the agency and expect solid, con- structive feedback. They have taken their roles seriously, and I am appreciative of their serv- ice. Their contributions have resulted in great things," said Sheriff Judd. If you are interested in serv- ing on the Sheriff's Advisory Council, please 'call Cynthia Purvis in our Human Resources office at 863.535.1900, by March 2, 2007, to request an applica- tion. Citizens who applied in years past and are still interest- ed must reapply. Specific dates of the meetings will be includ- ed in the application packet. Concert tickets still available For just one moment, pre- tend you're dressed in your very best. You're inside one of the grand concert halls of Europe; the lights are dimmed and excitement fills the air. The spotlights come one and they're focused on a baby grand piano, center stage. A young Italian pianist enters from stage left and bows to the audience, and applause breaks the silence. He sits at the piano and begins to play. The music floats in the air. You don't have to travel to Europe when Europe has come to Frostproof! Simply purchase tickets to attend "An Evening to Remember" to be held on Saturday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Frostproof High School Performing Arts Center. Direct from Europe's grand concert halls in Norway, Swe- den, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium, Ital- ian pianist Francesco Attesti will speak to your heart through his music. Annika Kaschenz, a popular German soprano, will add to your enjoy- ment with her interpretation of some of her favorite arias. In addition, the audience will .be treated to the voice of Frost- proof High School graduate Alana Trimmier, who is earning respect in local and state opera circles. Francesco Attesti is truly one of this generation's great pianists. U.S. composer John Corollo heard Attesti playing the piano on the Internet and while on vacation in Europe, attended one of his concerts. Upon returning home to Hawaii, he composed three Piano Etudes for Attesti, all of which will be featured in Attesti's June 2007 concert tour to introduce his "The Eternal Love" CD to Europe and North America. "An Evening to Remember" See Concert Page 2 Information sought in local Armed Robbery The Polk County Sheriff's Office Robbery Unit is seeking information on an Armed Rob- bery that occurred in Frost- proof in January 2007. At approximately 5:40 am on Jan. 29, 2007, a white box style vehicle drove into the gas pump area of the Little Dixie convenience store, 917 South Scenic Highway, Frostproof. A black male exited the car and walked into the store and asked to purchase gas. After pumping the gas, the suspect walked back into the store and picked up a candy bar. The sus- pect placed the candy bar on the counter and the victim opened the store register. While the register was opened, the suspect reached into the register and grabbed money. The suspect then pro- duced what appeared to be a weapon, hiding it underneath his clothing. The suspect demanded that the victim remove the remaining cash from the register and give it to See Robbery Page 2 Youth Crisis Shelter opens . Youth and Family Alterna- tives, Inc.'s (YFA) is pleased to announce that on Jan. 8, 2007 the George W. Harris Jr. Run- away and Youth Crisis Shelter opened its doors to runaway, homeless and at-risk youth from Polk, Highlands and Hard- ee Counties. The new facility located at 1060 Highway 17 South in Bar- tow, Florida was named for long-time banker and philan- thropist George Harris who passed away suddenly in Janu- ary of last year. George Harris was an early supporter of Youth and Family Alternatives, Inc.'s (YFA) YFA's program and Co- Chair of the fundraising effort to raise $2,020,000 to build the shelter debt-free. The new building was designed by Spring Engineering located in Holiday, Florida and the lead construction firm was Bandes Construction Co., Inc. YFA is a multi-faceted child and family service organization with programs and services in eight counties. With the sup- port and investment of the communities we serve YFA has been making a measurable impact in the lives of Central Florida's young people and their families ever since our founding in 1970. The previous Cornerstone shelter was in Mulberry and opened in 1995. The facility was originally constructed as a church camp in the mid-1950s, and was deemed functionally outdated and programmatical- ly inefficient by YFA's local Advisory Board. George Harris was a member of this advisory council and it was through Cit- rus and Chemical Bank that the original shelter property was purchased. The new Harris Shelter can serve up to 24 youth aged from 10 to 17. Some clients are youngsters who have run away from home. They may be flee- ing domestic violence or abuse, or they may have been "locked out" by parents or guardians and need a short- term out of home placement during a family crisis. Others will come to the Harris Shelter when they have been removed from their caregivers by author- ities because of abuse or neg- lect. Statistics consistently show substantial numbers of Florida's children are at risk. Our Capital Campaign Chair Mike Stedem recently stated: Youth and Family Alterna- tives has repeatedly demon- strated, that when it comes to providing Shelter, Security, Counseling' and Direction for Youth no one does it better, Period! For this reason I am delighted to have been asked to lead the Fund Raising effort for the "Harris Center"! The dedication of the new shelter is being held on March 2 at 9:30 a.m. The public is See Shelter-- Page 2 Submitted photo/WSC WSC honors Dr. Hall Dr. Greg Hall was recognized for 15 years of outstanding lead- ership as president of Warner Southern College during a cam- pus Chapel service on Tuesday, Jan. 30.

President Hall was lauded by stu- dents, faculty and staff for his leadership style and accom- plishments for the college.

The flag was draped across his casket and presented to his wife with regards from the Presi- dent of the United States. This makes you understand the cost of freedom. The American Flag equals freedom. The choice of religion is taken for granted in the United States; but one only has to look at Iraq to see the cost of freedom. We are able to attend the church of our choice because of the sacrifices of our war veterans. Choice equals freedom.

In America, everyone has an equal vote which is the voice of our gov- ernment. Equality equals free- dom. As I reflect back on my inter- view with Mr. Waugh, I continue to see young men and women giving the ultimate sacrifice to protect my freedom as they fight terrorism abroad and at home. When I asked Mr. Waugh if he had any regrets about being in the war, he answered, "No, I felt it was my duty to serve this coun- try". This attitude is still evident today as our military is voluntary, and our American Flag continues to fly high. America equals free- dom.

The defending 3A State Champions showed that this season would be another exciting one, as they defeated Winter Haven 5-2 and Lake Gibson 6-0. Light rain and wind couldn't stop the Lady Bulldogs or eighth grader Chelle Smith had a one hit, 6 strike out performance in her first varsity start. Whitney Dukes and Amanda Martinez both drove in two runs, and the team had an overall strong per- formance in the field and at the plate. In the second game, Chelle Smith and Chasity Kincaid combined for a 4 hit, 6 strike out shut out. Lacy Lambeth went 2 for 4 and scored two runs, while Amanda Martinez, Whitney Dukes and Kati Hutto all drove in runs. This season the Lady Bull- dogs had to deal with the loss of 6 starting players from last year's state champion team, but like the team motto says, "we don't rebuild, we reload". While there is a new look on the field and in the lineup, the Lady Bulldogs shouldn't miss a beat! Coach Mulder is excited about the teams' outlook and believes this will be another great year for Frostproof Softball. "Offensively and defensively we are as strong, if not stronger, then last year. Our lineup is solid I through 9 and everybody is capable of coming up with the big hit. The biggest question going into this season was our pitching, but after Saturday's performance by Chelle and Chasity, I have no doubt that we are going to be as strong as last year". The Lady Bulldogs will once again be looking to gain respect as they are ranked 13th out of 18 teams in Polk County. "The girls found out they were ranked low in the county and got pretty annoyed with the lack of respect they were given, especially com- ing off a championship season. I told them there was only one way to gain respect and that was to prove it on the field. They are definitely motivated to show everyone that Frostproof Softball is a power that is here to stay". This years team members are: Sydney Jones, Chelle Smith, Chasity Kincaid, Lacy Lambeth, Whitney Dukes, Aleecia Mar- tinez, Kati Hutto, Faith Franklin, Yahtea Benton, Amanda Mar- tinez, Alicia Wilson, Ambriea Hernandez and Whitney Deloach. The home opener is 'Tuesday, Feb. 6, against Ft.. Meade. The next home game will be against district rival McKeel, on Feb. 16. JV plays at 5:30 p.m. and Varsity at 7:30 p.m..

PC College offers Free financial aid session Polk Community College and the Polk County Schools will be participating in a statewide initia- tive that will provide Financials Aid information and help to high school students and their parents who attend a free workshop called College Goal Sunday. The event will be held in PCC's Student Center on the Win- ter Haven campus on Saturday, Feb. 24, 1- 3 p.m. A $500 scholar- ship that can be used at any col- lege will be given away to some- one attending the session. Financial aid counselors will be assisting high school students in 40 counties throughout the state. "We realized our state had to take steps to help with the process," said David Armstrong, Florida's Chancellor of Commu- nity Colleges. He expects the event will draw 2,000 high-school students, most from low-income families and many the first in their families to attend college. Millions of dollars are avail- able in student aid, but many par- ents are confused and discour- aged by the forms. One of the biggest barriers that college bound low-income and minority students is the eye glazing federal form, Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as FAFSA. Students who show up for the College Goal event at PCC will get help filling it out. For more information: www.fldoe.org/collegegoalsun- day. HBS offers two Spring excursions Lake Wales, Fla.

Professional artist displays artwork at PCC Martha Nash,,Polk Communi- ty College's Professional Artist in Residence, is currently exhibit- ing her work at the PCC Fine Arts Gallery on the Winter Haven campus. The Arkansas native, who now lives in Lake Wales, has been an artist for 30 years. Her contemporary sculpture, ceram- ics and mixed media creations will be on display through Feb. 17. The Fine Arts Gallery is open 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. Admission is free. Martha earned a Bachelors Degree in Art from Harding Uni- versity, Searcy, AR. She antici- pates starting graduate school at the University of South Florida in Tampa this fall. Martha moved to Florida in 1982 and sought jobs in the entertainment field utiliz- ing her artistic skills. She worked at Sea World as a scenic artist and soon landed a position at Walt Disney World. Her time at Disney eventually allowed her to realize her lifelong dream to work as a sculptor. Since then, she has worked independently painting murals, designing and building custom furniture, as well as developing a special sculpture series called "Tek-No-Hiro-Glphics" which resembles ancient Egyptian art forms. Some of the pieces on display at PCC are from this series. In 1995, Martha was named "Artist in Residence" at PCC. She is responsible for certain areas of the management of the ceramics room, special firing techniques, the glaze-mixing room, and teaching students how to "throw" clay on the potter's wheel. She also has worked with PCC students in developing career plans and managing equipment in the ceramic room. The public is invited to the Fine Arts Gallery weekdays 10 a.m. to noon.
