Yentes, announced Mon- day, his intention to retire. In his seventeen year tenure, Yentes changed the face of the quiet lakeside campus, offering its first MBA degree and more than doubling the size of its student body. Celebrating its 80th year of operation,. the University was the first private college char- tered as a not-for-profit school under Florida's then new edu- cational and charitable laws. A women's college until 1971, the University now boasts men and women from some 37 different countries. aid Yentes, "Webber has been my life for nearly the last two decades, and I am honored to have been able to serve it. Over the years it has been my pleasure to work with as fine a faculty and staff as exists any- where. The University is blessed to have them. They're consum- mate professionals, and they will continue to do an extraor- dinary job. As for the students and our alumni, the number of lives we've touched, and how deeply we've touched them, it's just overwhelming. But it's time; Webber needs new ideas and new leadership. It's the right time for me personally as well; I have a wide array of civic activities, a number of wonderful hobbies, a wonderful family which includes a wonderful new granddaugh- ter, and I have reached the age where I need to devote my time to enjoying the blessings which have been bestowed upon me." When Yentes took over the University in 1990, it had only 219 students and was struggling. Yentes added men's and wom- en's soccer, men's and women's golf, men's and women's ten- nis, men's and women's track and field, baseball, softball, and football to recruit students and enhance student activities and development. He also added an MBA program, added three ma- jor scholarship programs, and built most of the campus' major buildings. The University's most ambitious building project in its history, two new state-of-the- art student housing buildings, which Yentes notes can still be named for relatively modest do- nations, will be .ready for occu- pancy by January. Yentes leaves the University thriving, though still purposefully small. "It has its challenges," says Yentes, "but we think our students benefit immensely from our being one of the nation's smallest fully ac- credited universities. They get at- tention and experiences they just could not get elsewhere. Many, many years ago our Board made a strategic decision to keep us small, and it's proven to be the right one." Yentes will remain the Uni- versity's President through Oct. 31, 2008. This will allow him to oversee the completion of the University's two new student housing buildings as well as to launch the largest capital cam- paign in the University's history. Both in honor of his contribu- tions to the University and their desire for a smooth transition, the Board of Trustees has asked Yentes, and hd has consented, to assume the position of President Emeritus after his retirement. While a largely ceremonial post, Yentes will assist his succes- sor with the transition, as well as remain involved in many of the institution's fundraising ef- forts and formal ceremonies. "I think I might like to teach a bit more," said Yentes. "In addition to the classes we currently have in our general education core, we have a Business Communi- cations degree rolling out, and there are a number of courses in it which I think would be fun to teach." Yentes, who joined what was then Webber College as an adjunct professor, still teaches See Webber Page 2 Holiday safety advice Halloween is a holiday that,-at its best, is carefree, fun and ap- peals to the child in all off us. Frostproof's annual 'Trick or Treat' night is scheduled this year on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2007 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please contact your local City j Hall to \eFr\ 'hat niLtu your town will observe the Halloween holiday. The Polk County Sheriffs Office asks you to remember these safe- ty precautions before you light the Jack O' Lanterns and send your little goblins, witches and prin- cesses trick-or-treating: Homeowners should make sure their yard, porch and walk- ways are safe for youngsters. Allow children to trick or treat only at the homes of friends, relatives or neighbors you know personally. .* An adult should accompany children under 14. Older children should have an ironclad curfew. A cell phone is a good safety item for groups of trick-or-treat- ers. When choosing a costume remember to check costumes for hazards: make sure masks or cos- tumes do not obstruct vision, gar- ments should be short enough to prevent tripping as well as light in color, avoid hard plastic or wood- en props such as swords, add re- flective tape to the costume and make sure it is fire-resistant. Stay on sidewalks and cross only at corners. Caution children to watch for traffic and don't run. Don't cross the street from be- tween parked cars. Carry a flashlight. Chemical light sticks are fun for kids and provide additional warning to mo- torists. Motorists should drive care- fully watching for all pedestrians.

A message from Senator Alexander Last week, the Florida Senate passed legislation to place a con- stitutional amendment before the voters that would change how property taxes are calculated across the state. Along with many of my fellow Senators from both parties, I voted against this legis- lation, which was only a part of the necessary legislative policy changes that needed to be passed by the full Legislature to impact Florida's current property tax is- sue. Simply put, this proposed constitutional change did not do enough to protect the rural coun- ties and cities that I represent and would have saddled them with a financial burden too heavy to carry. Make no mistake, I support property tax reductions and agree that many local governments' spending habits need to be reined in so government growth and revenue shouldn't continue to outpace that of family incomes. However, small counties and cities also have the continued respon- sibility to maintain public safety measures, ensure fair elections and continue the basic functions of their governments delegated by the state and the constitution. For many of the small communi- ties in my home district, balanc- ing these two would be virtually impossible under the legislation just passed by the Senate. Cities such as Frostproof, Okeechobee and Avon Park to name a few all have a small tax base and if we eliminate taxable property off their rolls, we leave them with an even more limited revenue stream to carry out the basic functions their communi- ties rely on. Knowing that I could not sup- port this policy change and that the measure was going to pass out of the Senate, I asked the Senate to provide in statute for financially disadvantaged coun- ties and appropriate funds suffi- cient enough to make up for the revenue deficit that would result from this change. It is vital that we consider all of Florida's 67 coun- ties when addressing the property tax "remedy," especially our rural and small counties that count on their limited revenue streams to provide for their residents. When we return to Tallahas- see next week, I will continue to balance my support for real property tax relief with the needs of our small communities, and I will make sure that the needs of all our counties'are also consid- ered when we decide on a final measure to address the state's property tax crisis. Senator JD Alexander, Senate District 17 Frostproof News/Cindy Monk Team spirit Frostproof students, Aaron Simms, Cody Stephens, Kel- len Pfantz and Dustin Stephens showed their loyalty and school colors at the Bulldogs Varsity Football District Game against Clearwater Central Catholic last Friday (10/20).

He did not provide further details about this process but stated that information regarding the search would appear on the University's web site (www.webber.edu) by the end of the week. "Between now and when I retire, we have a lot of work to do," said Yentes, Advice Continued From Page 1 Drive slowly through neighbor- hoods, and be prepared to stop suddenly.

Bronson announced recently that disaster assistance is available to Florida catfish producers for lost or dam- aged feed from hurricanes, wild- fires or drought that occurred from January 2005 to February 2007. Bronson's announcement fol- lows Congress' decision to pro- vide the federal aid for catfish producers impacted by the string of natural disasters occurring dur- ing the two-year period. Applications were sent to some 114 certified catfish produc- ers earlier this week, and those seeking assistance are required to fill out the form with support- ing documentation and return it to FDAC, Division of Aquaculture for processing. The .applications must reach the Division of Aqua- culture by 5 p.m. Tuesday, No- vember 6. The federal assistance is lim- ited to feed losses during the period in question, and covers actual damage to the feed, losses sustained by producers as a result of interruptions in feeding sched- ules or feed cost increases caused by damages to or shortages of crops that are used to produce the catfish feed. Producers with questions about eligibility for the aid are encouraged to call the Division of Aquaculture at (850) 488-4033.

Hickory Hammock Equestrian Center to open Trail rides, hikes and swamp buggy rides set for Oct. 27 event FLORIDA The South Florida Water Management District will hold a grand opening celebration for the Hickory Hammock Eques- trian Center on Saturday, October 27 beginning at 9 a.m. The public is cordially invited to attend and celebrate completion of the new equestrian center, as well enjoy a variety of recreational activities on the property. The equestrian center has been developed in partnership with the Florida Cracker Trail Associa- tion, an equestrian group whose members have spent many hours marking trails and improving the area for public use. Hickory Hammock Equestrian Center has stalls, picnic shelters, fire rings and grills, a non-potable water well with hand pump, two com- posting toilets and night lighting, along with primitive campsites for horseback riders and others who have horse rigs or camp trailers. Tent campers are also welcome. Marked equestrian trails, interior dirt roads and fire breaks provide riders with access to more than 10 miles of riding trails. The Hickory Hammock Site This 4,470-acre property is not just for horse enthusiasts. The Florida Trail Assqciation, a statewide group of avid hikers, has spent many volunteer hours marking hiking trails through the area. A section of the Florida Na- tional Scenic Trail -winds for 11 miles through Hickory Hammock and through two adjacent public use areas to the north, Bluff Ham- mock and Boney Marsh. Several primitive campsites along the trail beckon hikers for an overnight stay. Three miles north of Hickory Hammock, a 25-foot- high bridge rewards visitors with a grand view of the gentle mean- ders and marshes of the restored Kissimmee River. Winding north through Boney Marsh, the trail is fringed with live oaks, palms, bay and holly trees on the edge of the' Kissimmee floodplain. At certain times, hikers can continue north through the Avon Park Air Force Range. Bicycling enthusiasts can en- joy riding on a two-mile section of the old Sebring Grade on the south half of Hickory Hammock. Now grassed and canopied by overhanging tree limbs, the grade once connected Sebring and Bas- inger before U.S. Hwy. 98 was built in 1949. You can also enjoy bike riding on the interior "woods road," an old ranch trail along the hammocks. Grand opening The public, is encouraged to attend the October 27 grand opening to become familiar with Hickory Hammock's many recre- ational opportunities. Those with horses are welcome to join the morning trail ride guided by ex- perienced riders from the Florida Cracker Trail Association. A guid- ed hike will be led in the morning by members of the Florida Trail Association. Following the trail events, there will be a short ceremony with South Florida Governing Board Chair Eric Buermann and rep- resentatives from the volunteer organizations. Pat's Barbecue, of Lake Placid, will be providing lunch for purchase during the day, including hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecue, water and soft drinks. Following lunch, swamp buggy rides will be available for those who would like to see the equestrian trail. Location The Hickory Hammock Eques- trian Center is located at the end of McArthur Road, four miles north of the main Hickory Hammock trailhead. The main trailhead at Hickory Hammock is eight miles southeast of Lorida, and about one-half mile northwest of the Istokpoga Canal (18 miles south of Sebring and 33 miles north of Okeechobee on U.S. Hwy. 8.) For additional information about the ceremony or about this project, please phone the SFW- MD Okeechobee Service Center at (863) 462-5260 or (800) 250- 4200. -I I SAVE MONEY ON YOUR FAVORITE GROCERY ITEMS.
