U.S. 27 carnage continues


Three more lives lost in accidents on deadly stretch of road


By BRIAN ACKLEY
BACKLEY@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
The carnage on U.S. Highway 27
continues.
For the ninth time in the last year,
almost to the day, the roadway between
County Road 640 and U.S. 98 was the
site of a deadly accident, this one early
Monday afternoon.
It took the life of a 27-year-old
Frostproof mother and her 4-month
old daughter. Her 3-year-old daughter
was airlifted to Tampa General hospital
in what sheriff's office officials de-
scribed as "extremely critical" condi-
tion at midday Tuesday.
Police say they do not know why
a 2003 Toyota, operated by Candy
Ocampo Greathouse, a 2004 graduate of
Frostproof Middle Senior High School,
left the highway while heading north on
U.S. 27 just north of C.R. 630A.
The vehicle crossed the grassy me-
dian and struck a pick up truck being
driven by 71-year-old Robert Holbrook
of Marshall, N.C.
Police said Greathouse was ejected
from her vehicle, and declared dead at


the scene. Her daughter Laaina, who
was born July 2, was airlifted to Sebring
Hospital where she also succumbed to
her injuries. Another daughter, Arriana,
who turns 3 on Dec. 12, was flown to
Tampa General.
Holbrook was operating a Toyota
Tundra pickup, and hauling a travel
trailer. He and his wife Pansi were taken
to Lake Wales Hospital, where they
were treated and released for minor
injuries, police said.
It was exactly one year and one day
ago, Oct. 28, 2011, that a cross-over
accident very near Monday's wreck
claimed the life of a 46-year-old Lake
Placid woman, the first of seven fatal
accidents on U.S. 27 in that area. The
eighth fatal accident on this stretch of
roadway came last Saturday morning
(See story, page 12)
The section of highway, which covers
a little over eight miles, was the subject
of a series of articles in the Frostproof
News this spring where law enforce-
ment and highway safety officials said
there was not much more that could be
done to make the rural stretch of road
safer.

Hitting 100: Work hard and get plenty of rest


Boball reaches milestone with 'greatest


By JAMES COULTER
NEWS @ FROSTPROOFNEWS.NET
Everyone has their own birthday
milestone they look forward to. But
one Lake Wales senior citizen reached
a milestone most only dream of
reaching.
Joe Boball celebrated his 100th
birthday Oct. 8 with family and friends
at Water's Edge of Lake Wales.
Boball, an active member of
Frostproof's First Baptist Church who
moved here in 1983, credits his long
life to the "greatest service from a good
nurse," his loving wife, Pauline, to
whom he has been married 72 years.


service from a good nurse, his wife
said. "Most of the time, we were happy.
Still are."

"Getting along is the secret," Boball


Raising his family has been the most
important aspect of his life. Together
they had two daughters, Jenna and
Mary Anne, two grandchildren, Patrick
and Krista, and two great-grandchil-
dren, Shawn and Stephanie.
Over the century he has lived, Boball
has experienced nothing but good
health. His secret is working hard and
getting plenty of rest.
He claims to have only had the
measles and a knee replacement, and

VIEWPOINT


Constitutional amendments


Eleven amendments to the state constitution, all of
them proposed by the Florida House and Senate, will
appear on your general election ballot. Each of them
pose constitutional and fiscal problems of which
voters should be wary. All but one could be handled
legislatively, but are being pushed as amendments
to hog-tie future legislatures from rolling them back
should the current political winds shift.
The irony of this amendment overreach is that
the Legislature only six years ago put a referendum
on the ballot to increase the vote margin required
to pass an amendment to 60 percent. It passed. The
amendment was a response to successful citizen
ballot initiatives, many of them unworthy of inclusion
in the constitution, ranging from pregnant pigs to
cast net restrictions. We supported that amendment
because of our long-held belief that the constitution
should be the framework for state government, not
an instrument of lawmaking.
Here are shortened versions of the lengthy and
often confusing ballot language for the 11 proposed
amendments.
Amendment 1 would have no application under
current law. It would prevent the state from creating
a substitute health care law if the Affordable Care Act,
known as Obamacare, is repealed.
Amendment 2 expands homestead property
exemptions for veterans beyond what is currently
offered.
The constitution requires the state to pass a


Our recommendation
balanced budget, but it can incur debt. Proposed
Amendment 3 would limit future lawmakers from
raising more revenue than the previous year plus
adjustments for inflation and population growth.
Amendment 4 further extends homestead exemp-
tions to new homebuyers, a plus for Realtors if it
increases sales, but a loss of millions in tax revenue
to schools and local governments who might have
to make up for the loss by raising rates. Local gov-
ernments and the Florida Association of Counties
and the Florida League of Cities rightly oppose this
amendment as an encroachment of Home Rule.
Amendment 5 is in response to a failed effort
in 2010 to split the state Supreme Court into two
jurisdictions, civil and criminal, and add additional
justices. It gives the Legislature the authority to repeal
court rulings by a simple majority. It also requires
Senate confirmation of justice appointments by
the governor. The latter is similar to the way the
U.S. Senate confirms justices, the former is a clear
violation of separation of powers central to the state
constitution.
Amendment 6 prohibits state funding for abortions,
which is already illegal under state and federal law.
There is no Amendment 7 on the ballot.
Amendment 8 would repeal the current consti-
tutional prohibition against funding of religious
organizations.


Vote no on all

Amendment 9 is one of those feel-good proposi-
tions. It would exempt the homestead property tax of
the spouses of deceased veterans or first responders
killed in the line of duty.
Amendment 10 would increase the personal prop-
erty tax exemption for small businesses by exempting
the tax on personal property valued between $25,000
and $50,000.
Amendment 11 is another homestead exemp-
tion. It would allow local governments to grant tax
exemption to those over 65 with incomes of less than
$27,000 whose home value is less than $250,000 if
they have lived there 25 years or more. Amendments
4, 9, 10 and 11 would further squeeze local govern-
ment's ability to fund services and infrastructure, and
put an increasing burden on an ever-shrinking pool
of non-exempted taxpayers. Florida TaxWatch found
that the breaks provided in these amendment would
cost the remaining taxpayers $500 million a year
more.
Amendment 12 broadens the base for selecting a
student to sit on the Board of Governors of the state
university system.
The Florida League of Women Voters recommends
voting No on all 11 offerings of the Legislature. The
League's position: the constitution should be kept
simple and straightforward. Those we elected for that
purpose should do the year-to-year lawmaking.
A No vote on all 11 amendments will speed up the
voting and put lawmaking back where it belongs.


Vote yes on

business tax break question


Voters will once again be asked if our
county commission should be allowed to
approve property tax breaks that would
encourage new and existing businesses
to expand and create jobs. The commis-
sion has asked voters this question in two
previous elections.
We have not always been in favor of
the county's efforts in this regard but now
think the third time just might be the
charm for Polk County.
The referendum would give the county
the power to OK property tax exemptions
to businesses locating to Polk County.
Existing businesses could get in on the
action if they expand and create new jobs.
We have had reservations about his
scheme before. We did not think previ-
ous attempts were specific enough. We
wanted the county to have more stringent
guidelines when it came to decide who
would get the tax breaks.
We think the county has come up with
a plan that is more specific and would
help to create jobs and allow businesses
to expand.
The referendum says the county will be
able to grant the exemptions to busi-
nesses if they meet the following criteria:
Create 25 or more new, full-time jobs
in the state while selling more than half of
its goods out of the state.
Create 10 or more new, full-time jobs
with pay rates more than the Polk County
average, at an industrial or manufactur-
ing plan or in a business in one of the


Our

recommendation

following industries; life sciences or
medical services, research, engineering
or high-tech, logistics agribusiness or
agriculture-tech.
Only property taxes levied by
Polk County on improvements to real
property and purchases of new tangible
property would be eligible.
-The scheme can only last 10 years.
Commissioners would have to ask
voters in another decade if they want to
continue the program.
Florida has been behind the curve
when it comes to tax abatement pro-
grams. Many other states have them and
similar incentives have been approved
by voters in more than half of Florida's
counties including Hillsborough,
Orange, Osceola, Hardee, Highlands and
DeSoto.
We need something in place to remain
competitive.
We are always wary of giving the
government the power to award special
privileges to any entity but agree that
Polk County needs to be competitive
when it comes to attracting new busi-
ness and creating jobs in our county.
That's why we recommend a yes vote
on this charter amendment.

Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya


Admittedly, we probably shouldn't
have gotten into Iraq, even though
Saddam Hussein might actually have
had "weapons of mass destruction" and
was putting people he didn't agree with
feet first into commercial shredders,
but we did it. We had won it. It cost us
5,000 American soldiers and billions of
dollars. We lost it when we failed to get
an agreement for 20,000 contingency
troops to remain and keep the peace
- now Iran is flying over Iraq bringing
weapons to Syria. Afghanistan we've
lost 2,000+ soldiers so far. We went in
to get Osama Bin Laden and defeat

proudly that we were leaving the end
of 2014 with no peace-keeping soldiers
left behind. Now the Taliban is biding
its time, infiltrating the Afghan military

125th Summerlin Reunion this weekend


By JEFF ROSLOW
JROSLOW@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

If last week's parade wasn't enough,
there's another one happening at the end
of the this week.
This parade, also going down Main
Street, is to help celebrate the 125th
anniversary reunion of the Summerlin
Institute.
The parade will feature alumni of the
school marching down Main Street to
Broadway and to the high school. And
after a reception there for the former
classinates and a tour of the high school
- which now has air conditioning,
organizer David Brewer put in an email
to those attending they will take in
the home football game against Winter
Haven High School.
There could be up to 1,000 people who
graduated from the school that existed
until 1968 that are coming to Bartow to
see old classmates, will see a battle of the
Bands, see a Car Cruisin' show and see
old movies on the lawn on the corner of
Wilson Avenue and Main Street.
That school and Union Academy
existed until 1968 until the school system
in the country desegregated and Bartow
High School was started in 1969.
Brewer, who helped to organize the
event, said about 500 people have
already paid for the 125th Summerlin
Reunion and another 200 have expressed
interest in attending. And, the people are
coming from all over the world.
"One fellow is coming in from Paris,"
Brewer said. "He's had some difficulty
with class reunions over the years."
And another former student, Randy
Johnson, who graduated in 1960, is
coming in from Oregon for the weekend.
Though Johnson's been back to Bartow
a handful of times since he left, he's
looking forward to this reunion because
of seeing those he hasn't seen in a long
time.
"One thing I'm concerned about is
being able to recognize people and them
being able to recognize me," he said,
adding this reunion may be a little more
special than other reunions because it
involves people from many different
classes. People in high school are not

on the Red Cross) had already taken
place. Requests for more security were
denied. Our people of the highest
rank (even in the situation room in the
White House) watched from 20 cameras


only friends with those in their class, he
said.
Johnson has not been totally out of
touch with Bartow. He was last here in
2008 to attend his father's funeral and his
mother lives in Lakeland and his sister
Iris was a Spanish teacher at Bartow
High School until last year. She currently
lives with her husband in Homeland.
Johnson, who is a graphic designer,
also designed the cover of the magazine
students will be given when they attend.
The commemorative book, called
Summerlin Echoes which is the same
name of the yearbook it published, has a
lot of recollection of the years in Bartow.
Much of the research into it was done
by 1961 graduate Stanley Hickson.
"It's meant to contain a lot of content
of old Echoes," Hickson said. "The oldest
is from 1922."
He said there's a little hole in the
middle because some of the material
couldn't be found, especially during
World War II.
"We got some wonderful help from the
journalism class at Bartow High School,"
he said.
Hickson said his memories spark
wonderful flashbacks and things that
have stuck with him vividly.
"During the Korean conflict the fire
whistle would ring and everyone in
Bartow would stop what they were
doing and offer their prayers." The
town was completely silent. "It was
amazing."
And, he said, the town's population
has not grown that much since that
time. At the time, he said the popula-
tion was about 15,000. According to
the 2010 Census the population is
just short of 20,000.
But in the last few months that
he has been returning to help plan
the reunion one thing he's noticed
that has changed is the number of
bicycles riding around town.
"The children changed, for one
thing," he said. "What I find is the
children on bicycles on the street.
In my era toward the '60s, I rode
my bicycle everyday and so did my
friends."
But he said the city looks similar
though the merchants are different.

in the summer and spent days and
night in the pool," Hickson recalled.
"That was just east of (where) the
police station (is now.)"
And the feeling of Bartow has never
left. At least that's true for Johnson.
"Where I live right now in the
Rogue River in southern Oregon it is
mountainous," Johnson said. "Every
year I go to the middle school track
and there's a white park compacted in
sand. The smell of the place reminds
me of Bartow. There is a house at the
end and you can see a sable palm and
you never see those here. I'm con-
stantly reminded of Bartow."

Denise Grims


vs. Stacy McCland


The race for Florida State Senate, District 21 pits
veteran Republican lawmaker Denise Grimsley
against Democratic political newcomer Stacy
Anderson McCland.
This redrawn district is sometimes referred to as the
old JD Alexander seat. Alexander served this area well
for many years in the state Legislature. Alexander was
unable to run for re-election because of term limits.
Grimsley has served two terms as a state legislator
from Highlands County. She is a registered nurse and
a citrus grower.
As a state legislator she has focused on health and
agricultural issues, two topics that are important to
our area.
She is also a serious politician and campaigner.
She amassed a campaign war chest that amounted to
more than $850,000.
Her time as a state representative as a Republican
in a Republican-dominated legislature should provide
her with the opportunity to be an effective state
senator.


Our recommendations


Stacy Anderson McCland


McCland is a legal consultant for federal tax
and banking issues for a tax software firm, Petz
Enterprises Inc., with offices in Rome, Ga., McCland


also serves as a corporate director for the family
business producing orchids and growing trees near
Kissimmee. She holds a bachelor's degree in biochem-
istry, an MBA and a law degree.
Democrat McCland knows the issues and is a smart
and capable campaigner. The only thing she lacks is
hundreds of thousands of dollars in her campaign
account. Her war chest has about $7,000 in it.
She has good ideas concerning education and
would like to see state officials have a friendlier
attitude toward local school officials.
If McCland is unsuccessful in her race against
Grimsley, we hope she continues to participate in the
political process as she is a smart, quality candidate.
We believe that Denise Grimsley will be able to hit
the ground running as our new state senator. Her ex-
perience as a member of the House of Representatives
should allow her to serve on important committees
and serve her constituents well.
We recommend Denise Grimsley for State Senate,
District 21.


John Hall vs.


Ricky Shirah


John Hall has been working for Polk County gov-
ernment for 35 years. He was the director of three
different county departments and now wants to be
a county commissioner. The Republican is facing
Democrat Ricky Shirah, who is making his fifth run
at elected office in Polk County.
Hall started his career with Polk County digging
ditches and worked his way to the top, serving in
top management positions for the past 24 years.
When it comes to his view of county government
he has a very positive attitude, stating that the
current county manager, Jim Freeman is doing and
excellent job.
He does think he can help the county institute
improvements when it comes to things like the
time it takes to turn around a building permit or

development order.
He is also a proponent of keeping the impact fee
moratorium in place.
"Do I think it's helped? Yes. Do I think we'll get
back to impact fees? Yes. But we need to be reason-
able," he said.
Hall's intimate knowledge of the inner workings
of county government would have to be an asset if
he became a county commissioner.
Shirah ran for a seat on the commission in 2004
and 2008. He also ran two times for a seat on the
Lakeland City Council.
He is a native of North Lakeland and says he
truly enjoys campaigning.

George Lindsey vs. Richard Castret


The race for Polk County Commission, District 1,
pits Lakeland-based developer and Realtor George
Lindsey against Richard Castret, who is a real estate
broker running with no party affiliation.
Lindsey is a Republican who says he has been
preparing for this run for 30 years.
"My dad instilled in me many years ago a civic
responsibility of being involved. Things are decided
by the people who show up. So I show up," he told the
newspaper's editorial board recently.
Lindsey has served on the county's charter review
board and recently served as the board's chairman.
He also served on boards for the Lakeland Chamber
of Commerce, Lakeland Association of Realtors,
Rotary Club of Lakeland Christina, Polk County
Builders Association and the Peace River Community
Mental Health Organization.
As a builder, Lindsey said he as "probably read more
impact fee studies than any elected official in this
county."
He is a proponent of keeping the county's morato-
rium on impact fees, at least for awhile.
"In these times and in these circumstances, this
(the moratorium) is the right thing to do," he said. "I
have talked to business owners who have said, were
it not for this moratorium, I would not be expanding
my business. I have heard from engineers that if it


Our recommendations


George Lindsey


Richard Castret


were not for this moratorium, my clients would not be
moving forward."
We don't think the moratorium is a good long
term-strategy for the county as it will cost the county
taxpayer money in the long run.
We are encouraged by his willingness to revisit the
issue in the future.
Castret ran an automotive business in Ohio for 30
years.


He is currently a real estate broker and owner of
Advantage REC Inc. in Lakeland.
He believes that government has too much red tape,
and that bureaucracy is holding back small business
and not helping with the economic recovery.
"The image of Polk County is damaged by empty
buildings," he told the newspaper's editorial board.
He believes that there is still more fat in the
county budget, even after years of cutting.
He disagrees with Lindsey on the merit of extend-
ing the moratorium on impact fees.
"In 2005 it looked like a good idea, but with it
being extended, we're going to have no tax base.
Maybe they should not be back at 100 percent, but
phased back in," he said.
We agree with that.
Both men are running good campaigns and have
a firm grasp of the issues facing the Polk County
Commission.
We think Lindsey's service on the Polk County
Charter Review Board and his years of community
service make him the best qualified of the two
candidates.

We recommend George Lindsey for Polk County
Commission, District 1.


HALL VS SHIRAH
FROM PAGE 6

"You have to work hard, you have to knock on
doors, you've got to get out and make yourself
available to the people," he said.
He describes himself as a conservative
Democrat. He worked for Publix for many years
and became an independent business person
when he purchased a towing service.
This is an interesting race. Both men are
long-time Polk County residents and both are


passionate about government affairs.
If elected, Shirah would be the lone Democrat
on the board. If elected, Hall would join a board
full of generally like-minded individuals.
If you would like to see the commission headed
in pretty much the same direction it has for the
past few years, then John Hall is probably your
candidate.
If you would like there to be at least one person
on the board who would be a contrarian and
sometimes ask the board questions they might
not otherwise here, then perhaps Shirah is you
candidate.
We think, however that the county commission


could use John Hall's unique experience as a
department head in three different departments.
Even though Hall's job will be to help develop
policy and not manage the day-to-day affairs of
government, it would be helpful to know how
policy will affect those who actually do the work.

That's why we recommend John Hall for a seat on
the Polk County Commission.

No day ordinary for Karen Whaley


By STEVE STEINER
SSTEINER @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

(Editor's note: This is the first in a
series of articles on people and their
careers.)
It is9 a.m., and Karen Whaley, district
representative for Florida Rep. Ben
Albritton, R-Wauchula, is already hard at
work.
"The first thing I do is go through the
newspapers each morning," she said. What
she looks for are news articles of people
being recognized for an achievement, win-
ning an award, or celebrating a landmark
occasion such as a birthday or anniversary
"He sends notes handwritten notes -
to people who have done good stuff. We
certainly want to recognize them."
Before her is a stack of 60 hand-signed
letters by the congressman to school
valedictorians and salutorians. Albritton
hadWhaley compose a mass letter that he
then signed. However, he did not leave it
at that
"He added a personal note to each
letter," she said.
From there she listens to voice mail mes-
sages. Some of them can be quite lengthy.
As she listens, she said, she will write down
the gist of the message and eventually call
back.
"If we get a call, we definitely return it,
even if it's something we can't help with,"
said Whaley. On this particular day there
have been no phone calls. In fact, it is
rare visitors stop in at the office on 150
N. CentralAve. "Nowadays, most people
communicate via email."
Most times, people contact Rep.
Albritton with questions or concerns about
Medicaid or food stamps.
'A lot of them call because they can't
get through (to a particular agency)," said
Whaley. "We always start local. We don't
immediately contact Tallahassee." It is
preferable that way. "Rarely do we have
to call Tallahassee and go over someone's
head. Our job is to build a bridge."
Not all phone calls are people turning
to their representative, seeking help in
resolving a situation. Phone calls come
in requesting Albritton speak before their
group or organization. That can be a
bit of a challenge..If the Legislature is in
session regular session starts in March
and runs 60 days or ifit is in special
session, which has an indeterminate time
frame, made necessary if not all the work
was finished in regular session, then the
representative is unavailable.
It is slightly different when the august
body is out of session, but not necessarily
any easier. Like many in the Florida House
and Senate, representatives are business
career professionals. It is, said Whaley, a

balancing act, tending to the family busi-
ness (he is in the citrus industry) as well
as tending to the needs and concerns of
constituents, as well as requests to making
guest appearances.
"I don't have his business schedule, I
have his legislative schedule," she said.
Finding out his availability takes some
doing. "We talk daily," she said. The two
of them also frequently text one another.
Whaley always knows when the call on her
cell phone is from him. It has a different
ring tone than from standard calls.

In and out the office
There is no "regular day forWhaley.
Some days she is in the office all day. At
other times, she is on the road. Other days
are a mix of the two. On this particular day
she is visited by Emily Nance and Sarah
Chevrier, the legislative and district aides,
respectively, of Rep. JohnWood, whose
office is in Haines City. Albritton and Wood
are sponsoring a "Veteran and Community
Employment Fair" that will take place from
11 a.m.-3 p.m., Oct. 31 at the Winter Haven
campus of Polk State College.
From there, the three travel to the
Peace River CenterVictim Service facil-
ity to meet with several representatives
from the agency, among them Angela
Jones, Resiliency Team Leader. Part of the
purpose for the visit is fact-finding.

vided "slight adjustments" are made. They
also work with the parents, guiding them
to better assist their children.
Among the questions Whaley asks is
whether there are short-term facilities for
clients who have to be moved from the
home. Jones tells her there are none due to
funding cuts made more than nine years
ago.
Another question asked is whether
poverty plays a significant role. It does, said
Jones, who gave an example of a family
that until recently was "pulling down a
six-figure income and is now on welfare."
Their 9-year-old child knew of the specif-
ics, being present or overhearing conversa-
tions between the parents.
While at Peace River Center Victim
Services, Whaley, Nance and Chevrier meet

Polk State to offer career educator fast-track


By MARY CANNADAY
MCANNADAY@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

With the increasing popularity of
career/technical academies and pro-
grams, the need for instructors who are
field-experienced has to be balanced
with state educational requirements.
It can be challenging for these
teachers to track down all the courses
that are required in order to remain in
the classroom. Superintendent Sherrie
Nickell told board members at their
Oct. 23 work session that there is now
an easier way, thanks to a partnership.
with Polk State College.
Career educators can take the five
required courses at PCS through an


accelerated program called Career
Educator Pathways.
And to make good news even better,
CEP costs almost half of what other pro-
grams charge; $1,500 for the sequence
as opposed to $2,700, according to
Denny Dunn, Assistant Superintendent
for Human Resources.
The goal of the CEP is to equip
vocational teachers with classroom
skills, if they are not degree teach-
ers. The courses are: Technology and
Industrial Certification, Teaching
Methods for the Career and Technical
Classrooms, Curriculum Construction
and Evaluation for Career and Technical
Educators, Students with Special Needs
in the Career and Technical Classrooms,


and Research-based Practices in
Reading Competency.
The need for this curriculum is
specified through Florida Statute, so the
district's certification department went
to work to come up with a local program.
Collaboration which began in March
between eight local and state agencies
led to the PSC option, which is offered at
no cost to the district. Polk Works, Florida
Troops to Teachers, the district's Workforce
Education Department and PSC adminis-
tration are among the partners.
According to Dunn, the idea was for
CEP to mirror another program already
in place, the Educator Preparation
Institute, which is an alternative pro-
gram for teachers seeking a state-issued


teaching certificate.
Workforce Education is a rapidly-
growing segment of the district's offer-
ings, consisting of 38 career academies
and pre-academies, covering more
than 30 specialties, such as culinary
arts, legal assisting, fashion design, and
information technology.
The district, in conjunction with
business and industrial partners, is
sponsoring the WH3 Expo Nov. 6 and 7
at the Lakeland Center, to showcase the
career-track's accomplishments and to
answer questions from the public and
prospective students.
The expo, which is free of charge,
runs 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 6 and 9 a.m.
to 2 p.m. on Nov. 7.


return to Haines City, and Whaley has to
travel to Wauchula, which is also in the
representative's district. There, she will
meet with a local organization that will
soon set up a KidPack project.
The latter puts together food packages
for elementary or middle school children
to bring home, in order they may have
something to eat before returning to school
on Monday, where they are eligible for
either free meals or meals at reduced cost.
It is shortly past 2:30 p.m., and Whaley
is running slightly behind schedule. It will
be close to 5 p.m., she estimates when she
returns to Bartow and calls it a day.

About Karen Whaley
Prior to her becoming Albritton's district
aide, Whaley was a dispatcher with the
Arcadia Police Department and then
attended the police academy to become
a law enforcement officer. While with the
Arcadia Police Department and on road
patrol, she became the Victims Advocate
Officer in the Violent Crimes Division.
Whaley left the police force and went to
work for a private child protective service
agency before returning to law enforce-
ment, this time with te DeSoto County
Sheriff's Office, where she supervised the
911 call center.
During this time, Whaley attended Bible
studies at the Albritton home; both attend
First Christian Church inWauchula.
"I've been friends with the family for
years," saidWhaley. When he decided to
run for office, Whaley began as a volunteer.
Soon after he hired her as his campaign
manager. It was a bit of a challenge. "I had
never done any campaigning before."
Upon election she became his District
Aide. Between Albritton andWhaley, they
make up two-thirds of his "team." The third
person is legislative aide Kevin Cleary.
"I've said it a million times, we have the
perfect team," she said. Currently, Cleary
is on a leave of absence, working to help
elect someone else in Florida win election.
Cleary, saidWhaley, is the nuts and bolts
person; his knowledge of bills and the
legislative process is vast and practically
immeasurable. It is also one she is glad she
does not hold. "I wouldn't have his job for
the combined salary of everyone on the
Floor."

About the Veteran and Community
Employment Fair
The event will be held from 11 am.-
3 p.m., in the gymnasium of the Winter
Haven campus of Polk State College;
veterans will receive a priority entry start-
ing 10 a.m. The event is sponsored by Reps.
Ben Albritton and John Wood of the Florida
House of Representatives. Call 863-508-

Mike LaRosa vs. Eileen Game


The race to see who is our area's newest member
of the state House of Representatives turned into
one of the most unusual in a long time.
The race was supposed to pit Republican Rep.
Mike Horner against Democratic newcomer
Eileen Game. Horner, although running in a "new"
district, was the incumbent in the race and Game
was destined to be a footnote in this year's elec-
tion. She had a miniscule war chest and not even
too much backing from the Democratic Party of
Florida.
Everything changed when Horner's name report-
edly came up on the client list of an Orlando area
brothel. He was not charged with any crime but re-
signed his position in the House of Representatives
and dropped out of the race.
Because the ballots were already printed,
Homer's name could not be removed and the
Republican Party had to find someone to run in
his place. Mike LaRosa, a Realtor from Celebration
called the party and told them he was interested.
LaRosa and his family run a large real estate
company in Celebration. He points to the fact that
his business survived the Great Recession when
many real estate companies did not, is evidence
that he is capable of running a business and
understanding what small business people face
each day.
He recently moved from outside the district into
his district, and he's lived in St. Cloud for 15 years.
He is married to his high school girlfriend, Holly,
and has 4-year-old twins and a son who is 2. He
moved to St. Cloud from Miami.
Game recently moved from outside the district,
as well. So, voters here are faced with picking two
candidates who don't have too much experience
dealing with and interacting with the people
of Polk County. That is an unfortunate choice,
indeed.


Our recommendations



!._


,



Mike LaRosa Eileen Game

But we must choose.
On the one hand we have a Democratic can-
didate who is registered to vote in Polk County,
recently moved to Frostproof but lived most of
the time in Fort Lauderdale. On the other hand we
have a Republican candidate who moved into the
district to run for the race but didn't have to move
as far but also doesn't have much of a connection
with Polk County.
LaRosa doesn't have much invested in the
race. He jumped in just a few weeks ago. Game's
campaign was very low key until Horner's scandal
broke, and when the Democratic Party smelled
victory it threw a bunch of money her way.
In fact the mailers the party sent to area voters
recently mentioned Homer's link to the brothel
but didn't quite let voters know that Horner was no
longer running. Dirty politics, indeed. We would
have liked to see Game denounce those tactics
done on her behalf.
We like Game and think that she is a bright
individual who appears to genuinely care about
the issues. She has earned a master's degree in


industrial management and likes to say she is
"kind of nerdy and introverted." We think she
understands the plight of the working people of
her district and would study the issues carefully if
elected to the House.
She has an understanding of how the Florida
economy works and would like to see more small
farms and manufacturing nurtured in this area.
Voters should be aware that according to U.S.
Bankruptcy Court records, Game filed for personal
bankruptcy in January 2011. The filing showed that
she owed the Internal Revenue Service more than
$146,000 in back taxes. Game resolved the bank-
ruptcy in May 2011, agreeing to pay her creditors
smaller sums.
Game was also a manager with the accounting
firms Ernst & Young and Grant Thornton. She now
owns a small information-technology consulting
business.
LaRosa is a smart business person who seems to
have a lot of energy. We applaud him for volunteer-
ing to enter the race at the 11th hour. His name
will not appear on the ballot. Voters will be have to
vote for Mike Horner in order to vote for LaRosa.
Game was in the race from beginning, even
when she had to know that her candidacy was long
shot.
That is a sign, we think, that she is a woman of
conviction.
She has the brains of a computer programmer
and the heart of a working person.
The circumstances surrounding this race are not
perfect and both candidates have some excellent
qualities and some things that give us pause. But one
of them will represent us in Tallahassee next year.
We think Eileen Game is the best choice in this
race and deserves a chance to represent us in the
Florida House of Representatives.

Paws and Perches


W arm greetings to everyone in
Lake Wales and Polk County.
Aug. 6, 2012, marked the
opening of Paws and Perches Animal
Hospital. I am Dr. Ashley Lab, the proud
new owner. I was fortunate to meet Dr.
Tim Swango at just the right time, when
he was ready to retire after operating
Swango Animal Hospital for 30 years. He
is now enjoying the life of leisure and fish-
ing to his heart's content. He has been a
tremendous help to me and has become
a wonderful friend. Thank you so much!
When you visit Paws and Perches,
you will find many things are the same.
Tammy, Brenda and Tina have stayed
on and been loyal staff members. Lea,
our groomer, has stayed and expanded
her services. You will also find that I
have the same gentle manner of caring
for and understanding the needs of you
and your pets. And of course, we are
in the same convenient location at 755
West Central Avenue, Lake Wales (right
next to FedEx), and phone number
863-676-6176.
You will also find a few new things
when you visit. State-of-the-art digital
imaging equipment has been installed.
A fresh focus on exotics is part of my
mission. New choices of food, supplies
and medications are available. And of
course, everything has been scrubbed,
buffed, repainted and refurbished to
make it more comfortable, attractive,
and efficient. We hope to make the

experience of caring for your pets as
pleasurable as possible.
Finally, I want to thank all of the
clients, residents, business and profes-
sional community for your overwhelm-
ing warm welcome and well wishes. It
is truly a pleasure to work in and serve
this community.
I would like to invite all of you to
attend our Open House, Saturday,
November 17th from 1-4pm. Fun, food,
contests, prizes and important informa-
tion will be shared. Also, visit Paws and
Perches on Facebook (or Google "Paws
and Perches"). You will find useful infor-
mation, monthly specials and helpful
links. "Like" us we like you!

U.S. 27 crash


Victim was employee at South


takes another life


County Jail heading home from work


A popular worker at the South
County Jail in Frostproof lost his life
Friday morning in yet another fatal
accident on U.S. Highway 27, this time
at the intersection of County Road 640.
It is the eighth fatal accident in the
last year on the stretch of highway
between U.S. 98 and County Road 640.
Police identified the victim as 62-year
old Victor Lopez of Haines City, a
detention support specialist at the local
jail. He was returning to his home after
working overnight at the facility, police
said.
"Victor took his job at the Sheriff's
Office very seriously, and he came to
work every day with this huge smile on
his face. Whenever you spoke to him
his face would always light up. His co-
workers who counted on him for their
safety knew he always had their back.
We as his work family mourn his loss.
We will come together and help each
other through this tragic event," said
Captain James Hogan, Commander of
the South County Jail.
According to a report from the sher-
iff's office, at around 6:23 a.m. Friday,
a 1998 four door green Kia owned and
drive by Lopes was heading north-
bound on U.S. 27 just south of County
Road 640 when for unknown reasons
it went into the median, striking a grey
2012 Nissan Rogue being driven by
59-year-old Martha Ritch of Lake Wales.
Reports indicated that Ritch was in
the median, facing westbound, about
to turn onto southbound U.S. 27. The
collision pushed her car out into the


southbound
lane, and she was

struck by a 2003 ,,. "
blue four-door
Toyota heading
southbound being
driven by 40-year- ""
old Cheryl Greives
of Winter Haven.
Lopez's Kia came
to a rest in the
median. V r
Lopez suffered Vior opez
significant injuries
and was declared
deceased on-scene, the sheriff's office
reported. He was wearing his seat belt.
The two other drivers were both
taken to Lake Wales Hospital, but nei-
ther suffered serious injuries and both
were treated and released. All three
drivers were the only occupants of each
of their vehicles.
It appears Lopez lost control of his
vehicle, a spokesperson for the PCSO
said. Polk County Sheriff's Traffic depu-
ties are seeking witnesses to this crash.
If anyone saw anything related to this
crash, contact the Polk County Sheriff's
Office at 863-298-6200.
Lopez was a civilian member of
PCSO. He was hired in November,
2000, as a detention support specialist,
working in the South County Jail in
Frostproof. A DSS performs support
duties such as: operate security doors,
handle inmate property, monitor
movement of visitors, monitor inmate

activity, provide information to the
public, assist other detention mem-
bers, maintain office logs, and the like,
police said.
He was on his way home from work
this morning after working the night
shift when he lost control of his car. He
is survived by a sister in Tampa, and
four grown children a daughter in
Brandon, and twin daughters and a son
in Puerto Rico. He is preceded in death


by his wife.
"We are saddened today by the loss
of our valued PCSO agency member,
Victor Lopez, who was killed in a traffic
crash in Lake Wales while driving home
from work this morning. We consider
ourselves a family here at PCSO, and
Victor's loss is felt throughout the
agency. Our thoughts and prayers are
with Victor's family during this tragic
time," Sheriff Grady Judd added.


Frostproof schools


get grant money


Frostproof teachers, and their
students, will benefit from several
grants that have been given to local
schools.
The Dollar General Literacy
Foundation has awarded a Youth
Literacy grant in the amount of
$2,000 to Lisa Sullivan, a first grade
teacher at Frostproof Elementary.
"The Dollar General Literacy
Foundation is pleased to support the
literacy efforts of Mrs. Sullivan," said
Rick Dreiling, Dollar General's chair-
man and CEO. "The Youth Literacy
grants are awarded annually at the
start of the school year so that the
funds are in place to have an impact
on reading education and support."
The Dollar General Literacy
Foundation's Youth Literacy grants
are awarded to assist with imple-
menting new or expanding existing
youth literacy programs; to purchase
new technology or equipment to
support youth literacy initiatives;
or to purchase books, materials or
software for youth literary programs.
In August, the Dollar General
Literacy Foundation awarded grants
totaling more than $2 million to
564 non-profit organizations, com-
munity groups, schools and librar-
ies throughout the United States.
It is estimated that approximately
315,000 youth will be served as a
result of these grants.
Sullivan said the name of her proj-
ect is ""Bridging the Gap Between
Reading and Math."
The money will be used to pur-
chase a multi-media package that
will help enhance student skills.
"I will be using the money to
purchase a set of Scholastic leveled
Math Readers," Sullivan said. "This


set includes 360 books and 60 ebook
CDs. I will use these to reinforce
reading skill during the math les-
son and to integrate literature into
Math."
Frostproof Elementary School
Assistant Principal Shay Hixenbaugh
and Ben Hill Griffin Elementary's
Stella Hatton, who teaches fourth
grade, were on hand earlier this
school year in Winter Haven to be
awarded Developer Award classroom
grants based on innovative programs
they have developed to help increase
student achievement.
Hatton was recognized for her
program "Rockin' and Eatin'," a science
program that integrates technology,
writing and science for fourth grade
students. The program is a way to
teach students about the types of
rocks and how they are formed in an
entertaining, creative and edible way.
Students tend to retain their learning
when they are involved in an activity
that captures and keeps their attention.
Hatton, a University of Florida
graduate, has been teaching for 12
years, and this is her second Teacher
to Teacher Classroom Connection
award.
Hixenbaugh was recognized for
her "Math Carnival," an evening
event that was designed to provide
all parents and students the oppor-
tunity to experience hands on math
activities in order to increase math
skills. Math Carnival takes place in
two different locations on campus
with the opportunity to participate
in many math activities at both
locations.
A graduate of Warner University
and Nova Southeastern, she is in her
fifth year at Frostproof Elementary.

The Constitutional Amendments


The explanation of these amendments
comes from the Collins Center for Public
Policy. It has a website that explains in
further detail what these amendments
mean, what the current law provides and
the history behind the law and the amend-
ments. It also contains a link to the Florida
Statutes and other government resources.
And, there is a place for readers to add their
comments.
The website is at http://collinscenter.
org/2012flamendments/home-2/.

Amendment 1: Health Care Service
What it would do:
This would add an amendment to the
state constitution that attempts to prohibit
the government from requiring individuals
to purchase health insurance.

If You Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you want the Florida
Constitution to include a provision that
prohibits the government from requiring
you to purchase health insurance.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you do not want the
Florida Constitution to include a provision
that prohibits the government from requir-
ing you to purchase health insurance.

Arguments for:
Supporters of this proposed amendment
say the federal government cannot force
people to purchase health insurance, and
this amendment is an attempt to protect
Floridians from that requirement in the
federal health care act passed in 2010. They
say voting for this measure would send
a message that Congress overstepped its
authority.

,Arguments against:
Opponents say that despite its stated in-
tention, this proposed amendment will not
allow Floridians to opt out of the require-
ment that all Americans purchase health
insurance. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on
June 28, 2012, that the federal requirement
to purchase insurance is constitutional.

Amendment 2: Veterans Disabled Due To
Combat Injury; Homestead Property Tax
Discount
What it would do:
This amendment would allow certain
disabled veterans, who were not Florida
residents prior to entering military service, to
qualify for a discount on their property taxes.

IfYou Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you want the state
to give a property tax discount to disabled
veterans who moved to Florida after enter:
ing the military.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you do not want to
extend the tax discount to disabled veterans
who moved to Florida after entering the
military.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this amendment will
benefit older veterans who were injured in
combat but did not live in Florida at the
time they entered the military. They say the
property tax discount can help with medical
bills and may allow veterans to stay in their
homes longer as they age. It might also
stimulate the housing market by persuading
veterans to move to Florida.

Arguments against:
Opponents say state and local govern-
ments face mounting budget shortfalls in
part because of diminished property tax
returns brought about by the collapse of the
housing market. Schools and local govern-
ments need to maintain the tax base or
consider cuts to public services.

Amendment 3: Revenue Limitation
What it would do:
This amendment would set a state
revenue limit each year based on a formula
that considers population growth and infla-
tion instead of using the current method
of calculating the revenue limit based on
personal income.

If You Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you want the state


to change the way it calculates its revenue
limit.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you do not want the
state to change the way it calculates its
revenue limit.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this amendment would
ensure that the state budget never grows
beyond a family's ability to pay the taxes and
fees needed to fund that growth. They say it
would make government more efficient.

Arguments against:
Critics say that during tough economic
times, when tax revenues drop and there is
a greater need for government services, this
amendment would make it impossible for
agencies to meet demand, even when there
is available revenue. They say it threatens
funding for critical government services like
health care and education.

Amendment 4: Property Tax Limitations;
PropertyValue Decline; Reduction For
Non-homestead Assessment Increases;
Delay of Scheduled Repeal
What it would do:
Reduce the maximum annual increase in
taxable value of non-homestead properties
from 10 percent to 5 percent; provide an
extra homestead exemption for first-time
home buyers; allow lawmakers to prohibit
assessment increases for properties with
decreasing market values.

If you vote yes:
A "yes" vote means you favor the en-
hanced tax breaks being proposed.

If you vote no:
A "no" vote means you are against the
enhanced tax breaks being proposed.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this amendment would
make Florida property taxation more equi-
table, stimulate the housing and commercial
real estate markets and attract investors to
the state.

Arguments against:
Opponents say it would shift the tax
burden onto new businesses and Florida
residents while providing special benefits to
out-of-state and non-homestead property
owners.

Amendment 5: State Courts
What it would do:
This measure would provide for Senate
confirmation of Supreme Court justices; give
lawmakers control over changes to the rules
governing the court system; and direct the
Judicial Qualifications Commission, which
investigates judicial misconduct complaints,
to make its files available to the Speaker of
the Florida House of Representatives.

If you vote yes:
A "yes" vote means you want the Senate
to have confirmation power over Supreme
Court appointees, and some authority over
changes to the rules that govern the state's
courts. You also want to grant the House ac-
cess to Judicial Qualifications Commission's
investigative files on judges.

If you vote no:
A "no" vote means you do not want
these proposed changes made to the state's
judiciary.

Arguments for:
Supporters say the measure would
make the appellate court system run more
efficiently and add a layer of account-
ability before Supreme Court justices are
appointed.

Arguments against:
Opponents say the measure is a danger-
ous attempt to exert political influence over
the judicial branch by giving legislators
more authority.

Amendment 6: Prohibition on Public
Funding of Abortions; Construction of
Abortion Rights
What it would do:
This amendment would make the existing
federal ban on public funding for most


abortions part of the state constitution. It
would narrow the scope of a state privacy
law that is sometimes used in Florida to
challenge abortion laws.

If you vote yes:
A "yes" vote means you support putting
the existing federal ban on the use of public
funds for abortions into the state constitu-
tion; and you support eliminating the state's
privacy right with respect to a woman's right
to choose.

If you vote no:
A "no" vote means you are against placing
the existing federal ban on using public
funds for abortions into the state consti-
tution; and you are against eliminating
the state's privacy right with respect to a
woman's right to choose.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this makes it clear Florida
prohibits public funding for abortions and
gives the public a voice in deciding state
abortion law.

Arguments against:
Opponents say this amendment discrimi-
nates against women, strips away a woman's
fundamental right to choose, and erodes
established law, including rights of privacy.

Amendment 8: Religious Freedom
What it would do:
This amendment would remove the
prohibition in Florida's Constitution that
prevents religious institutions from receiv-
ing taxpayer funding.

If You Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you want to remove
from the Florida Constitution a prohibition
against the state funding religious institu-
tions and replace it with a provision that
prohibits the state from denying funding to
institutions based on religious affiliations.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you want to retain the
provision in the Florida.Constitution that
prohibits the state from funding religious
institutions.

Arguments for:
Supporters say the amendment would al-
low the state to fund programs that provide
a valuable public service but are currently
denied that funding because they are affili-
ated with religious organizations. They also
say the current law that denies funding to
religious groups was passed in 1885 and is
rooted in anti-Catholic bias and should be
removed from the state's constitution.

Arguments against:
Opponents say the amendment would
eliminate a long-established component of
the separation of church and state that pre-
vents the government from funding groups
that espouse religious beliefs. They also say
the anti-Catholic bias cited by supporters
of the amendment was not a motivation for
the law's passage in 1885 and, even if it were,
that bias no longer exists and should not be
a reason for eliminating the ban on funding
religious groups.

Amendment 9: Homestead Property Tax
Exemption for Surviving Spouse of Military
Veteran or First Responder
What it would do:
This would grant a full property tax ex-
emption to the surviving spouses of military
veterans who die while on active duty and
to the surviving spouses of first responders
who die in the line of duty.

If You Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you want the state to
grant the full homestead exemption to the
surviving spouses.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you do not want the
state to grant the full homestead exemption.

Arguments for:
It helps the families left behind when a
veteran or first responder dies in service to
his country or community.

Arguments against:
It takes a bite out of the tax revenues


schools and local governments need to
provide services.

Amendment 10: Tangible Personal
Property Tax Exemption
What it would do:
This amendment would double the
tangible personal property tax exemption
and allow local governments to increase the
exemption.

If You Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you want to double
the tangible personal property tax exemp-
tion and allow cities and counties to expand
the exemptions beyond that.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you do not want to
double the tangible personal property tax
exemption and you do not want to allow cit-
ies and counties to expand the exemptions.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this amendment will
give tax relief to small businesses and help
stimulate the economy. They say it provides
a way for local governments to offer further
reductions in the business tax.

Arguments against:
Opponents say this amendment is part of
a trickle-down economic theory that does
not work. They say it will strip millions in tax
revenue from local governments struggling
to provide basic services.

Amendment 11: Additional Homestead
Exemption; Low-Income Seniors Who
Maintain Long-Term Residency on
Property; Equal to Assessed Value.
What it would do:
This amendment would give an additional
property tax exemption to low-income
seniors who have lived in their home for
more than 25 years.

If You Vote Yes:
A "yes" vote means you think cities and
counties should have the authority to grant
a full property tax discount to eligible
seniors.

If You Vote No:
A "no" vote means you do not think that
cities and counties should have the author-
ity to grant a full property tax discount to
eligible seniors.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this amendment will ben-
efit elderly residents on fixed incomes. They
say the property tax discount can help with
medical bills and may allow more elderly
residents to stay in their homes as they age.

Arguments against:
Opponents say state and local govern-
ments face mounting budget shortfalls in
part because of diminished property tax
returns. Schools and local governments
need to maintain the tax base.

Amendment 12: Appointment of Student
Body President to Board of Governors of
the State University System.
What it would do:
This amendment would change the way
the state selects the student representative
on the state university system's Board of
Governors, which oversees the university
system.

If you vote yes:
A "yes" vote means you want the state
create a new council of university student
presidents from which the student repre-
sentative to the Board of Governors will be
chosen.

If you vote no:
A "no" vote means you want to keep the
current system of selecting the student
representative to the Board of Governors.

Arguments for:
Supporters say this amendment guaran-
tees every university has a chance to have
their student body president be named as a
representative of the Board of Governors.

Arguments against:
Opponents say this amendment is
unnecessary.

Citrus group hopes to spread larger message


By BRIAN ACKLEY
BACKLEY @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

Members of the Florida Citrus
Commission hope more consumers
will see and hear the citrus industry's
messages in the coming months,
thanks in part to a larger than expect-
ed crop for the 2012-13 season.
The Commission agreed to a new
budget that is about $5 million more
than the previous year's spending,
with more than 80 percent of that
increase to be poured into marketing
programs, according to Commission
Controller Debra Funkhouser.
She noted that the group's original
spending plan was crafted with a
forecast of about 194 million boxes of
citrus for the coming season, but the
USDA projections pegged that number
at about 197 million. The overall bud-
get for 2012-13 now comes in at about
$55.4 million. Some of the budget


increase was also attributed to lower-
than-expected spending last year.
"We went to into this budgeting
process saying any additional funds
that were generated be put back into
marketing programs, to beef up the
marketing programs, trying to get
us back where we were several years
ago," she said.
The orange juice component of
the citrus department's budget totals
$42.1 million, an increase of about
$3.4 million; $2 million of that jump
will go toward television and online
marketing, officials indicated. A good
chunk of that is earmarked for the
first quarter of 2013. Another $500,000
will go toward in-store shopper
promotions.
"We've beefed up our key selling
season so we're never off television
for more than two weeks," said Leigh
Killeen, deputy executive director for
domestic marketing. "We're taking

Citrus Commission.

a hard look at all the (marketing)
tactics, what worked and what didn't
and executing on those as well. We're
really taking to hear the (marketing)
research and measurements."
SThe budget for online marketing
will go from about 10 percent to
14 percent of the overall advertising


spending.
The group has earmarked $6.7 mil-
lion for disease research, an increase
of $700,000 from last year, although
that figure will likely decrease some
later in the budget year.
"Some of the research that we ex-
pected to be necessary may not have
had to be accomplished and some can
in at lower costs also. We'll right size
that number as we move forward,"
Funkhouser said.
And while the vast majority of local
citrus is used in juice processing, the
commission is looking at spending
$100,000 to do a fresh fruit study.
"We're looking at consumer at-
titudes, perceptions and attributes
for future use as far as determining
marketing programs," Fnnkhouser
added.
The commission held it's monthly
meeting last week in Bartow when it
approved the budget.

NO. 5 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE V, SECTIONS 2, 11, AND 12
State Courts
Pioposing a revision of Article V of the State Constitution relating to the judiciary.
The State Constitution authorizes the Supreme Court to adopt rules for the practice and procedure in all courts, The constitution further provides
that a rule of court may be repealed by a general law enacted by a two-thirds vote of the membership of each house of Ihe Legislature. This proposed
constitutional revision eliminates the requirement that a general law repealing a court rule pass by a two-thirds vote of each house, thereby providing that
the Legislature may repeal a rule of court by a general law approved by a majority vote of each house of the Legislature that expresses the policy behind the
repeal. The court could readopt the rule in conformity with the public policy expressed by the Legislature, but if the Legislature determines that a rule has
been readopted and repeals the readopted rule, this proposed revision prohibits the court from further readopting the repealed rule without the Legislature's
prior approval. Under current law, rules of the judicial nominating commissions and the Judicial Qualifications Commission may be repealed by general law
enacted by a majority vote of the membership of each house of the Legislature Under this proposed revision, a vote to repeal those rules is changed to
repeal by general law enacted by a majonty vote of the legislators present.
Under current law, the Governor appoints a justice of the Supreme Court from a list of nominees provided by a judicial nominating commission,
and appointments by the Govemor are not subject to confirmation. This revision requires Senate confirmation of a justice of the Supreme Court before the
appointee can take office. If the Senate votes not to confirm the appointment, the judicial nominating commission must reconvene and may not renominate
any person whose prior appointment to fill the same vacancy was not confirmed by the Senate. For the purpose of confirmation, the Senate may meet at
any time. If the Senate fails to vote on the appointment of a justice within 90 days, the justice will be deemed confirmed and will lake office.
The Judicial Qualifications Commission is an independent commission created by the State Constitution to investigate and prosecute before the
Florida Supreme Court alleged misconduct by a justice or udge. Currently under the constitution, commission proceedings are confidential until formal
charges are filed by the investigative panel of the commission, Once formal charges are filed, the formal charges and all further proceedings of the
commission are public. Currently, the constitution authorizes the House of Representatives to impeach a justice or judge. Further, the Speaker of the House
of Representatives may request, and the Judicial Qualifications Commission must make available, all information in the commission's possession for use in

information is used in the pursuit of an impeachment of a justice or judge, This revision also removes the power of the Governor to request files of the
Judicial Qualificatons Commission to conform to a prior constitutional change
This revision also makes technical and clarifying additions and deletions relating to the selection of chief judges of a circuit and relating to the
Judicial Qualifcations Commission, and makes other nonsubstantive conforming and technical changes in the judicial article of the ccnstlulion

1-4 corridor pushing Florida in Romney's direction


By ADAM C. SMITH
TAMPA BAY TIMIs

It has been a fundamental rule of Florida
politics for decades: Statewide campaigns
are won and lost on the I-4 corridor.
This week that celebrated swing-
voter swath stretching from Tampa Bay to
Daytona Beach is poised to deliver Florida's
29 electoral votes to Mitt Romney.
An exclusive Tampa Bay Times/Bay
News 9 poll of likely voters along the
Interstate 4 corridor finds Romney leading
Obama 51 percent to 45 percent, with 4
percent undecided.
"Romney has pretty much nailed down
Florida," said Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon
Polling and Research, which conducted
the poll for the Times and its media
partners. "Unless something dramatically
changes an October surprise, a major gaffe
Romney's going to win Florida."
The formula for Democrats to win
Florida has long been simple: win big in
the Democratic stronghold of Miami-
Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties,
avoid overwhelming losses in conservative
North Florida, and stay close to even along
the I-4 corridor. Obama and John McCain
essentially tied in the battleground four
years ago.
"Being that this is 1-4, the Florida battle-
ground, the region of the state that usually
tells you how it's going to come out, for
Romney to be up 6 points right now? They
should be able to call Florida as soon as the
polls close in Pensacola if they do their exit
polling right," Coker said.
The Oct. 22-24 survey focused only on
voters in the I-4 corridor, but Tampa Bay
on the western end has an uncanny knack
for almost exactly matching Florida's state-
wide results. Four years ago Obama beat
John McCain in Florida and Tampa Bay
defined as Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco,
Hemando, Polk and Citrus counties by the
same margin, 51 percent to 48 percent.
Now? The poll shows Romney leading
Tampa Bay 50 percent to 46 percent.
"I truly was looking for Obama to go in
and bring in some Republicans and say we
are going to do things together. The very
idea that this country is run without a bud-
get is a shame. How many households can
run without a budget?" said Republican
David Stratton, 67, a retired home builder
inValrico, one of the voters surveyed. "I
blame Obama for that. I'm sorry? He's
supposed to lead the country. He's the one
who promised hope and change. Not only
didn't it happen, he's proven it's nothing
more than rhetoric."
Central Florida on the eastern end of the
I-4 corridor skews more Republican and
includes Orange, Osceola, Lake, Brevard,
Sumter, Marion, Seminole, Volusia and
Flagler counties. Romney is leading in
Central Florida 52 percent to 44 percent.


The telephone survey of 625 registered
Florida voters in the I-4 corridor all likely
to vote in the November election was con-
ducted Oct. 22-24 for the Times, Bay News
9 and Central Florida News 13. The poll,
which included respondents using land
lines and cell phones, was conducted by
Mason-Dixon, a nonpartisan, Jacksonville-
based company. The margin of error is plus
or minus 4 percentage points.
Both campaigns have concentrated
relentlessly on the I-4 corridor. The nation's
top five media markets for presidential
campaign ads through most of October
include Tampa (No. 3) and Orlando (No. 5),
according to the Wesleyan Media Project.
Obama campaigned Thursday in Tampa
and returns to Orlando on Monday, while
Romney campaigned Saturday in Pasco
County and Kissimmee.
"I'm satisfied with the way things are
going. They're moving slow, but you can't
expect a whole lot too fast, especially with
the Republicans standing in the way every
step of the way," said Democrat Nicholas
Ficarrotta, 59, a retired electrician in Tampa
who was surveyed and supports Obama.
"It would be nice if everybody looked out
for one another."
But the poll underscores deep dis-
appointment in Obama in the main
battleground region of America's biggest
battleground state. Fifty one percent of I-4
voters disapprove of the president's job
performance, 54 percent see the country
on the wrong track, and 55 percent say
they are not better off today than four years
ago.
Asked who they trust more to improve
the economy, Romney leads Obama 52
percent to 44 percent. Likewise, 52 percent
trust Romney more to look out for the
middle class and 46 percent trust Obama
more.
"The country is heading in the wrong
direction," said Richard Invinjack, a
70-year-old retired IT specialist who lives
in the Villages and is voting for Romney.
"Too much debt, too much deficit, bad
foreign policy, too much making people
dependent on the government, too many
handouts, which I call buying votes, the
country is going down the wrong track 100
percent of the way."
Only on the question of foreign policy
were Obama and Romney roughly tied in
terms of voters' trust. Last week's foreign
policy debate in Boca Raton did little or
nothing to shift views, and the economy is
the overriding issue this year anyway.
One in three voters feel the economy is
getting better in Florida, while 22 percent
feel it is getting worse and 44 percent say
it's staying about the same.
"The same in Florida is not good," Coker
said.
The poll shows stark divisions along ra-
cial and ethnic lines. Six in 10 white voters

voters who appear to be breaking Romney's way.


in the I-4 corridor are backing Romney,
virtually all African-Americans support
Obama, and the president is leading
among Hispanics by nearly 20 percentage
points. African-Americans and Hispanics
accounted for about 20 percent of the I-4
voters surveyed.
Romney leads Obama among crucial in-
dependent voters 49 percent to 41 percent,
and he leads among men by 16 percentage
points. Obama leads among women 50
percent to 46 percent, but that's not nearly
as much of an advantage as Democrats
have hoped for.
Overall, 52 percent of the voters have a
favorable view of Romney and 39 percent
have an unfavorable view. Forty-seven
percent have an unfavorable opinion of the


president and 44 percent a favorable one.
Few Americans receive as much atten-
tion from the presidential campaigns as
those living around 1-4. Campaign com-
mercials flood their TV airwaves, and rarely
a week goes by without a visit from one of
the candidates or their top surrogates.
You might think these all-important
swing corridor voters relish their outsized
influence.
Wrong.
Only one in four say all the attention is
a good thing, while seven in 10 consider it
annoying.
Don't worry folks, it's almost over.

Jones leading Frostproof chamber as new director


By GEORGE FRANECEVICH
NEWS @FROSTPROOFNEW'S.NET
In a storefront office of the Ramon
Theater building, you will find the
Director of the Frostproof Area
Chamber of Commerce, Karen Jones.
Most likely she'll be answering her
own phone, and doing her own typing,
when she's not fielding questions about
Frostproof or giving travel directions to
walk-ins.
To understand the duties of the
director, it's helpful to understand what
the Chamber of Commerce is and why
it exists.
The Chamber of Commerce is a local
organization of businesses and indi-
viduals, who advocate for the business
community and who, as they will tell
you, are making a serious commitment
"to furthering the prosperity of our
community."
Members of the Chamber of
Commerce consist of local businesses,
as well as other businesses either serv-
ing or doing business with the city and/
or its residents.
Any concerned individual who so
wishes, may also become a member of
the Chamber of Commerce.
The members elect a board and
a President which set policy for the
Chamber. A director is appointed who
acts as an intermediary between the
board and its members, as well as rep-
resenting the Chamber of Commerce to
the public at large.
The director also takes care of the
scheduling of various Chamber events
such as the monthly Chamber of
Commerce Luncheon. This usually in-
cludes securing a guest speaker and the
Director is responsible for the annual
Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
Additionally the Director helps
schedule and coordinate special
events such as Meet the Candidates,
the Orange Blossom Festival, and the


ANNUAL EVENT NOV. 10
The Frostproof Chamber of Commerce will be
hosting its Annual Banquet on Saturday, Nov. 10 at
the Ramon Theater.

Christmas parade, to name a few. As
the Chamber puts it, "such events are
excellent for promoting a business,
networking with other businesses and
prospective clients, while promoting
the city of Frostproof and for having
some good clean fun."
The director's office, is usually the
first stop for visitors seeking travel,
entertainment, or general community
information. The office also provides a
wealth of information for any inquiring
businessman regarding demographics,
business and/or commerce data.
The Director also helps maintain and
update the Frostproof Area Chamber
of Commerce web-site, as well as the
preparation of the Frostproof Area
Community Calendar of Events and
any event brochures.
After reading all of the above, one
might think that it is a requirement
that the Director be able to stop a
speeding locomotive or leap tall
buildings in a single bound. But in

is actually a superhuman antithesis,
in that she is the very approachable,

soft-spoken and mild mannered wife
of James Jones.
She is also the proud mother of two
young children, her daughter Harley
Anne, age 8 and her son, Bowen, 6.
The Jones family relocated to the area
from Miami in 2005. Karen believes she
was selected to fill the director's posi-
tion primarily because of her computer
and customer service skills. These were
skills she acquired while employed at
the University of Miami, teaching the
faculty and staff computer skills.
Since arriving here she has been em-
ployed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife

Citizens Bank and Trust prior to being
selected for the Director's position.
Karen seems to enjoy her new

lot of cooperation and help from the

Family Week to celebrate 'Attitude of Gratitude'


By MARY CANNADAY
MCANNADAY @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM

Just in time for Thanksgiving, par-
ticipants in this year's Polk County
Family Week will celebrate an "Attitude
of Gratitude" as the theme for the fifth
annual event, which is centered around
families of all shapes and sizes.
The kick-off event is Nov. 10 in down-
town Winter Haven's Central Park, with
activities scheduled as follows:
9 a.m.: Opening Ceremonies, includ-
ing an international parade.
9:30 a.m.: A Family Week Run/Walk
following opening ceremonies.
10 a.m.: Grandparent of the Year
Awards
10:20 a.m.: Run Results
11 a.m.: Student Essay Awards
11:50 a.m.: Student Art Awards
1 p.m.: Grand Prize Raffle ($500
Value-Must be Present to Win)
Fun, games and time together are
the hallmarks of Family Week, which
was conceived several years ago when
a group of women from Haines City's
Church of Latter Day Saints got together
to come up with some wholesome fam-
ily activities, realizing that there was no
such event open to the public at large.
The celebration has grown over the
years, and has been recognized by the
Polk County School Board and child
advocacy agencies, among others. Teri
Saunders, Chief Executive officer of
Heartland for Children, said "Heartland
for Children is a proud supporter of
Polk County Family Week. We know
that family is the building block for the
community and that children need safe,
stable, nurturing relationships if they
are to be able to grow and reach their
potential. Polk County Family Week
highlights the good in our community


and encourages family strengthening
activities." Heartland is the lead child
welfare and advocacy program for Polk,
Hardee and Highlands counties.
April Franke, who recently retired
from Healthy Families Polk, another
partner, said "I have seen Family Week
grow every year and never cease to be
amazed at the work and dedication
that goes into the preparation of the
event from committee members to
sponsors. I have been involved since
the very first year, when it started on
a chilly November evening in Mary
Holland Park in Bartow. I was part of
the Healthy Families team and helped
serve hot dogs. Healthy Families is all
about families, and so am I, so this was
a perfect fit."

Erin Bratsman, a Family Week
volunteer, said, "Volunteering at the
kick-off event has been something fun
for out whole family to do together. Our
favorite thing from last year was seeing
our sons play the piano in the talent
show. It was an entertaining show and a
nice way to spend a Sunday evening as
a family."
Bratsman praised the "tremendous
amount of work that the organizers put
in."
In addition to the daily activities of
Family Week, there are opportunities
offered by local agencies throughout
the week. The YMCA locations in Polk
County are offering free admission for
families during Polk County Family
Week, with hours varying by location.
Library activities include a Gratitude
Tree at the Bartow Public Library.
Visitors can write what they are grate-
ful for on a paper leaf to be part of a
gratitude tree displayed on the wall.

grand opening is this month, and
November's theme will be "Gratitude!"
The Lake Alfred Public Library is asking
visitors to support the homeless by
donating food and/or blankets at the
library. In a related activity, residents
can drop off non-perishable food items
at any Polk Magnify bank location on
Nov. 14, with the theme for that day be-
ing "I'm grateful for Food and Family."
On Nov. 15, free admission to
Exploration IV Children's Museum in
Lakeland, Bok Tower in Lake Wales and
Skate World in Lakeland is a thank-
you for donations of blankets, coats,
scarves, toiletries, or non-perishable
food items for the homeless made at
these locations.
Talent shows will be held Sunday,


Nov. 11 at 3 p.m. at The Chain of Lakes
Complex in Winter Haven and at 6 p.m.
at EPIC church in Lakeland.
Facebook devotees can post what
they are thankful for, on Nov. 12, and a
random drawing will award one of these
a $25 gift certificate. On Nov. 13, people
can post photos of someone being kind
on Facebook, and again will have a
chance at a $25 gift certificate.
There will be activities throughout
the week too many to mention
in a small space. The schedule of
events and further information can
also be obtained on the website
www.polkcountyfamilyweek.com.
Past themes include Values,
Generation Celebration, Mind, Body &
Soul, and Family Reunion.


Polk School Superintendent Dr. Sherrie Nickell presents the student essay awards at last year's
Polk County Family Week celebration. This year's essay theme is "Why I love my family," and the
winners will be announced Nov. 10 at 11 a.m. in Winter Haven's Central Park.

Polk County Family Week celebrated cultural diversity at the 2011 kick-off with an international
parade. The kick-off this year will also open with a parade. Polk County Family Week will be
observed Nov. 10-16 with a variety of events throughout the week.

from work.
"I only missed one day of work and
that was when I had a tooth pulled," he
said. "But other than that, I never got
sick."
Boball was born in Martinsburg,
Ohio in 1912. His father was an Austria-
Hungarian immigrant and his mother
was from West Virginia. He worked
alongside his father in the coal mines
before his family moved to a farm to
break horses.
"I didn't like to work in them [coal
mines]," he said. "I couldn't wait to go
back to school."
In 1937, he moved to Cambridge,
Ohio to work in the oil fields as a tool
dresser and trackman.
One year later, he moved to Michigan
during a large oil boom, where he
worked in a prosperous oil field with
over 60 acres and 40 rigs.


Friends and family gathered earlier this month
at Water's Edge in Lake Wales to celebrate the
100th birthday of former Frostproof resident
Joe Boball.

During his stay, he met his wife,
whose grandmother owned the board-
ing house he was staying in.
They married in 1940, and three years
later, had their eldest daughter, Jenna.
Only 15 days after his daughter's birth,
Boball was inducted into the army.
He served for three years as an
engineer during World War II where he
aided in the invasion of Okinawa, Japan
in 1944.
After the war, he returned home and
moved with his wife out to an acre of
land near Plainwell, where, with his
own hands, he built their ranch house,
which he considered his life's greatest
accomplishment.
He worked as the chief operator at an
oil refinery for 31 years and loved every
day of it.
"When you worked in the oil field,
you drill one well and then you are


-em
r r


done," he explained. "You had to wait
for another well and by then your
money was all gone. But at the refinery,
you got paid every week."
He retired in 1978 and moved to
Frostproof in 1983, later retiring at
Water's Edge in 2009. Both he and his
wife enjoy their company of friends at
the assisted living center and at First
Baptist Church of Frostproof.
"We love being a part of a wonderful
church family and love our family at
Water's Edge," Boball said.
His hobbies and interests in life in-
cluded fishing, gardening, automobiles,
and motorcycles.
In his lifetime, he owned 37 cars and
five motorcycles. His first car was a 1933
Model A Ford Roadster, and his favorite
car was a 1962 Oldsmobile Starfire.
"I liked everything but the gas mile-
age," he said.
His preferred motorcycle brand was


Harley Davidson, with his favorite
model being a 1948 he bought in 1974.
Having grown up in a time where
horses were the main source of trans-
portation has given him a finer appre-
ciation for automobiles.
"Back then, you had to use a horse
and buggy just to go into town to get
the groceries," he said.
Overall, he remains optimistic about
the changes within his lifetime and
claims life has become better because
of them, with better transportation,
living standards, and higher income.
"I went through the depression
where a dollar was worth a dollar and
a nickel was worth a nickel," he said.
"I used to go out with my girl to Coney
Island and get a cup of coffee and two
hot dogs for 50 cents."
"You get more money now than you
did back then," he continued. "Back
then, if you had a dollar, you had a lot."

given to families in the Frostproof area
during the holidays," Waters noted.
"Due to economic conditions, we
expect to have a substantial increase
in applications for Thanksgiving and
Christmas food. Assistance to these
families would be impossible without
the help of good neighbors in the
community."
Waters said there are several ways
people can help.
Food, Food, Food Meats, yams,
cranberry sauce, pasta, macaroni and
cheese, dried beans, rice, soups, flour,
sugar, small oil, drinks/juices, tomato
sauce, canned, shelf stable, or pow-
dered milk, and canned vegetables/
fruits, and meats and meals (beef stew,
chicken and dumplings etc.).
Gifts for all ages.
"We try to give every child one
special gift and two smaller gifts. Gifts
should be new or like new. If you desire
to wrap your gifts please indicate on
the outside if it is for a boy or girl and
the age, a category of the gift, i.e. car/
truck, doll, game, sports, arts and
crafts," Waters noted.


Financial assistance. "We gave gifts
to 443 children of our community last
Christmas. The financial needs are
always great," Waters said.
Personal Care Items Deodorant,
toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, shampoo
etc. are needed for clients.
*Volunteer your time. The Care Center
is always in need of helping hands. During
the holiday season there are many ad-
ditional tasks to do such as wrapping gifts,
filling food boxes and delivering.
Adopt a child or family. Shopping
for a particular child or family can
make this Christmas time special. Care
Center tries to fill specific requests for
each child.
"Many organizations, businesses and
individuals have increased their own
Christmas joy by giving to a family in
need," Waters noted. You may call the
Care Center to be put on their Adopt a
Family list.
Waters also said community mem-
bers can contact the center to "please
let us know of any families who could
benefit from these special holiday
services," he added. "The staff and
volunteers of the Frostproof Care
Center would like to wish you a joyful
and Christ-centered holiday season.
We appreciate the continued support
throughout the year."

Bulldogs tune up for playoff showdown with win


Playoff berth on the line this Friday


against


Lakeland Christian


By BRIAN ACKLEY
BACKLEY @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
For the Frostproof Bulldogs, it
surely was a little hard to not at
least peek ahead to Friday night's
showdown with district foe Lakeland
Christian.
That's because the winner of that
game at Faris Brannen Stadium will
punch a ticket to the post-season
playoffs, and the loser will not.
The Vikings come in at 6-2, but
haven't quite played the level of
competition that Frostproof has seen
this year. They won at home against
Cardinal Mooney, 20-17, for their
district win. Frostproof's district win
also came over Mooney, on the road,
33-19.
LCS also lost to Fort Meade, 37-34
(Frostproof lost 17-16), after blowing
a 21-0 lead, and tipped Tenoroc,
35-27, earlier in the year.
The Bulldogs turned in a solid
performance at home last Friday
night, outdistancing Tenoroc 24-8 in
a non-district matchup, not looking
too far ahead to LCS.
But when you do look, there's much
to like about the Vikings, starting
with their talented quarterback


Christian Alexander.
"I feel like our guys are getting bet-
ter every week, and that's what we try
to do," said Head Coach Price Harris.
"Lakeland Christian is a good foot-
ball team. It's going to take us work-
ing on our fundamentals and making
sure we take care of ourselves. I really
feel like that's the biggest thing for
us this week. We've got to take away
what they want to do, of course, but
it really comes down to our execu-
tion, the way we handle things. If we
take care of us, good things are going
to happen. Our guys are putting their
time in, paying attention, putting
time in the film, in to practice."
Alexander has thrown for over 1,700
yards this season, and has 21 touch-
down throws.
"He makes a difference. He throws
the ball great, on time. We've got a lot
of respect for them. We've got a man-
tra here, you respect all and you fear
none. We're always going to respect
them. The quarterback makes them
very tough," Harris added. "They're
going to get their kids out in space,
it's really going to come down if we
can tackle. We have to make sure that

we tackle kids in space, that's going
to be big for us."
Frostproof took firm control of
things against Tenoroc in the third
quarter, scoring on their first two
possessions, thanks in large part to
Kaleel Gaines.
His team needed 12 plays to take
the opening kick of the third quarter
76 yards for a 12-0 lead. Gaines had
six of those runs, including a 13
yarder and a 14 yarder. He actually
scored on the play before Trevis
Harrington scored from 25 yards
out, but his run was called back on a
holding penalty.
The second possession was a
short one. Casey Thomas returned a
Tenoroc punt 19 yards to the Titans
31, and the Bulldogs increased their
lead to 18-0 just two plays later.
Major Plain hauled in a 14-yard
catch and then Kaleel Gaines went
off right tackles from 17 yards out.
Unofficially, Gaines ran for 136 yards
on the night.
The Titans rallied on their next
possession on a long but quick
drive as quarterback Victor Smith
Jr. threw a 17-yard touchdown pass
to Darrien Laster with 2:05 to go in
the third quarter. That pair hooked
up again on the two-point conver-
sion pass and the visitors had sliced
Frostproof's lead to just 18-8.

The Frostproof defense has been stout most of the season, as they showed again Friday, but will
face perhaps their biggest test of the season this Friday when they host Lakeland Christian. Here,
Trevis Harrington and Kaleel Gaines combine to make a stop.


Tenoroc hoped to get was quickly
dashed by Reggie Allen, who field a
short kick at his own 25, and broke
the return up the right sideline for
Frostproof's fourth touchdown of
the night. The two-point conversion,
which was originally good but called
back on a pen-

the seven yard

in the third.
Extra points were one of the nega-
tives of the night. Frostproof was
0-for-3 in PAT kicks, and missed on
their only two-point try.
The first half wasn't much like the
second half in any fashion.
The Bulldogs needed just three
plays to move 66 yards on their first
possession of the game, scoring what
turned out to be the only points of
the first two quarters.
Taking over at their own 34,


Kaleel Gaines ripped of 46 yards to
the Titans 20. From there, Daniel
Knighten scampered around right
end for 17 yards to the Tenoroc three,
where Cecil Cherry finished things
off with a three -yard run up the
middle. The kick was no good, but
the Bulldogs were on top with 7:55
left in the first.
Much of the second quarter was
played in a stiff wind and light rain
squall, although it was not a big fac-
tor in either team's ability to score.
Frostproof controlled much of the
clock, putting together drives of 14
and 11 plays but getting no points.
The Bulldogs started at their own
11 on their second possession of
the first quarter, and drove to the
Tenoroc 30 before the drive ended
in an interception. Quarterback
Xavier Gaines had a 20-yard run on a
third-and-18 play early in the drive,
while Major Plains had a pass catch
for nine yards and Allen snared one
for 12.
Later in the half, Frostproof began
at its own 21, and pushed to the
Tenoroc 34 before the drive again
stalled. Kaleel Gaines had a 15 yard
run on that possession, and Allen
had a another 12-yard grab.
It was a significantly cleaner
half in terms of penalties for the
Bulldogs than they had put up in
recent weeks. In fact, they were only
flagged two times for 20 yards in
penalties in the first two quarters
Friday night.
After the Bulldogs district show-
down next week, they will close
the regular season on the road at
Auburndale. Tenoroc came into
Friday night's game with just one
win on the season, a 36-0 triumph
against Poinciana.
Frostproof improved to 5-3 overall.

County Property Tax Exemption OK



will level playing field


By STEVE STEINER
SSTEINER @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
Many voters may already be aware
there are 11 amendments being
proposed on the ballot by the state.
Perhaps going overlooked is the fact
there is one further amendment
voters will have to decide; only this
one is being proposed by the county:
"The County Property Tax Exemption
Question."
The amendment asks voters to con-
sider a property tax exemption for new
businesses, as well as the expansion of
existing businesses that are consider-
ing creating new, full-time jobs in
the county. Its purpose is to woo new
businesses while at the same time
assist current employers. According
to Commissioner Melony Bell, who
represents District 2, Polk County is
currently at a distinct disadvantage.
The nine counties that border Polk
already have similar measures in place.
It has had a negative impact.
"I know there have been some
companies that have told me that
'Hillsborough has offered me incen-
tives to move,'" she said. "We need
to be able to compete with other
counties."

If amendment succeeds
Should the measure win voter ap-
proval, the Central Florida Development
Council will be the administering agency
overseeing the operation of the program,


npiiliii, ?n!l


C3-
h b I j 1 A K



which Bell said is being spun off the
BOCC into a semi-autonomous agency.
"We'll be the conduit," said Rodney
Carson, Director of Economic
Development for the CFDC. The agency,
he said, will take applications for the
program and then submit recommenda-
tions to the BOCC, which will make all
decisions. "Our charge is to increase the
number of higher-skilled, higher wage
businesses."
It is what the CFDC already has been
doing for more than the past two de-
cades, said Carson. It employs a number
of strategies, including both initiating
prospective businesses as well as fielding
inquiries. If the exemption is approved,
any business seeking to move, or any
business looking to expand, will have to
meet certain guidelines and criteria that
are still being developed.
"We will look at what Enterprise
Florida has, and look to see what other
counties have in place," he said. "We
don't want to put more on the table than
we have to." The goal is to negate what
other incentives surrounding counties
have, so as not to have an advantage
over Polk County.
The CFDC will also be charged with
the responsibility of enforcing the


criteria established. There will be a
monitoring system, he said. It may be
similar to what already exists. Businesses
will have to establish the jobs and will
have to perform according to terms it
has signed. Currently, said Carson, there
are both companies that do not want
any incentives, as well as those that want
as many as possible. The former, he said,
exists because some companies may
find the ability to fulfill the incentives
too onerous.

Has it paid off?
In 2011, according to Carson, 11 com-
panies made announcements they were
either relocating to Polk County, or ex-
panding. Those companies announced
they would be making $191 million in
capital investments.
"That equates to $981,000 in ad
valorem taxes for the county, and
$1.1 million in school taxes," said
Carson. He further explained that the
school tax is separate and apart from
the county; regardless whether the
amendment passes, exemption from
school taxes does not exist.
Continuing, the 11 companies an-
nounced it would be creating 597 new
jobs; plus announced another 78 jobs
were saved. The average wage of those
jobs, said Carson, was $37,000.

Is it worth it?
District 1 Polk County
Commissioner Bob English believes


the measure will pay for itself in the
long run; he introduced the measure
and has been a staunch advocate for
it.
While objections have been raised
that the county would be giving away
money in ad valorem property taxes,
English believes that there will be a
payoff in the long run.
"The idea is the jobs they create
will outweigh the disadvantage of
not paying property taxes," he said.
English added that should all terms
and conditions be met, a business will
receive the exemption for 10 years.
After the tenth year, though, it will be
pay its property tax.
A further inducement is the cur-
rent impact fee moratorium on
construction, which sunsets January
2013. A business that qualifies for the
exemption (should it pass), will also
be eligible for the impact fee morato-
rium. "There are two reasons to come
here," said English.

Bok Tower Gardens needs
volunteers for holidays
Bok Tower Gardens needs the time
and talent of more than 200 volunteers
to help with this year's Holiday Home
Tour at Pinewood Estate.
Volunteers help prepare decorations,
greet visitors, lead tours through the
home, and drive shuttles during the
six-week event that happens from
Nov. 23-Jan. 6.
Training will be offered during volun-
teer orientation sessions on Thursday,
Nov. 15 and Friday, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. with a break for lunch.
All new volunteers must attend one of
these sessions to participate.
As a nonprofit organization, volun-
teers are vital to daily operations of the
Gardens. Their contribution of time and
talent are significant to the success of
various programs, as well as the comfort
and overall experience of nearly 160,000
annual visitors. Each year, volunteers
donate more than 30,000 hours of ser-
vice. Volunteers donating more than 50
hours of service are recognized for their
contribution with benefits including a
tour of the Singing Tower, a complimen-
tary membership to the Gardens, and
free passes for family and friends.
For information or to apply to become
a volunteer, visit www.boktowergardens.

Wednesday is last day
to seek mail-in ballot
Polk County voters who plan to vote
by mail in the Nov. 6 General Election
have until today to submit a request
for a ballot to be mailed. Requests can


be made by calling 863-534-5888 or by
visiting polkelections.com. Voted ballots

Tax bills are in the mail
The 2012 property tax notices to all
of Polk County's property owners were
mailed out on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
"Property owners should be receiv-
ing their bills in the mail this week,"
said Polk County Tax Collector Joe G.
Tedder. Each year, Tedder and his
staff announce the mailing of tax bills
to property owners, knowing that up
to 1 percent of the bills each year will
come back as not deliverable due to
incorrect addresses. Tedder reminds
taxpayers that their taxes are due,
whether they receive a tax bill or not,
citing Florida law which clearly places
the burden of responsibility for pay-
ment of taxes on the property owner.
Tedder's staff reports more than
331,230 property tax bills will go out in
the mail this week. The only exceptions
to this are those property owners who
have opted to pay by an installment
plan. For them, no November bill will
be sent; instead, they will be notified of
third quarter installment payments due
Dec. 1.
Taxes for 2012 have a total taxable
amount of $492,357,950 as compared
to last year's tax roll which had a total
taxable amount of $514,206,073. This
year's tax roll represents a 4 percent
decrease in taxes and assessments
billed from the prior year and down
11 percent from three years ago.

their property tax notices) by Thursday,


Nov. 15 should contact the Tax
Collector's Office. Local callers may call
863-534-4700; callers outside the local
access area may call toll free 855-765-
5829 (855-POLK-TAX).

Smithsonian Photography
Exhibit opens
Polk Museum of Art's curator of art
Adam Justice will lead a tour of the
Museum's first Smithsonian exhibition,
"In Vibrant Color: Vintage Celebrity
Portraits from the Harry Warnecke
Studio" on Friday, Nov. 9.

buildings in Polk County, for example.
The artwork will be on display in

Board takes first step toward superintendent search


Discussion centers around consultants, scope, timeline


By MARY CANNADAY
MCANNADAY@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM
The Polk County School Board took
the first step last Tuesday toward
looking for a school superintendent
to replace Sherrie Nickell, who has
announced she will retire in June
2013.
Opening their work session with
a lengthy discussion about how
and when to start looking, board
members came to agreement on two
things: that the search should be
national in scope and that the Florida
School Boards Association should
be considered as a contender for the
search process. The FSBA represents
all school board members throughout
Florida.
Wayne Blanton, executive director
of the FSBA will speak to the board at
1 p.m. Nov. 7 about the services his
agency can provide. Board member
Lori Cunningham said there were
advantages to using the FSBA.
"They know a lot of the players. It
might be good to take advantage of
their expertise," she said. "I did not
come away with a favorable view of
the company we used for the last
search," she added. "I would like to
try someone different."
Although the board agreed that the
FSBA should have a shot at the con-
tract, some felt that other companies
should be considered as well. In spite
Sof the $8,000 price tag for an FSBA
search, well below the $50,000 the
district paid for the last search, Board


Dr. Sherrie Nickell


member Kay Fields said, "We need to
get the best candidates we can."
Fields was of the opinion that the
search should be national, that the
board should take its time in finding
the right candidate, and that at least
three firms should be considered.
"We're acting like the FSBA will be
our saving grace," she said.
Incoming board member Hunt
Berryman agreed, saying, "I'm OK
with hearing from Dr. Blanton Nov. 7.
I just don't think we should make a
decision that day," (about which firm
to use.)
Berryman also expressed concern
that Florida's Sunshine Law would


deter some applicants, because their
names were sure to be published.
Board chairperson Hazel Sellers,
who initiated the contact with FSBA
and distributed a packet from them to
board members, said Blanton could
actually supply a list of other search
firms, and she would ask him to do
so. She also suggested that board
members call other board members
throughout the state to see what their
experience has been with various
search firms.
Because the search process is
personnel-oriented, it-does not
require a bidding process for the cho-
sen firm, according to board attorney
Wes Bridges.
Other issues that arose were setting
a timeline for starting the search as
well as determining when the new
superintendent would be hired.
"If a firm is not chosen in
November, we'll run into the holidays,
and the search won't begin until
January," board member Tim Harris
noted.
At issue also is the reason for
Nickell's decision to retire: health
issues within her family.
"Dr. Nickell would like us to move
to transition fairly quickly," Sellers
said. "She would like to be here to
help transition the new superinten-
dent." Sellers said if the search is
initiated in November, they might
have a person hired by February or
March.
The overriding sentiment in the
end was that the process should not


be rushed. "I remember the rush
last time," Dick Mullenax said. "We
may limit our options if we impose a
timeline."
Harris said because the require-
ments and parameters of what the
board wants in a superintendent were
still in place from the last search, "We
just need to speed getting the process
started. I personally don't want to go
the interim route," he added.
Board member Debra Wright said
she also thought the board should
look at the pay scale for the position.
"You get what you pay for," she
said. "We also need to have regard for
the 94,000 students in our district."
"I don't think there's a more
important position than this one,"
Cunningham agreed.

Worth waiting a year for inaugural event


Originally scheduled


to debut last


year,


wellness


expo drew about 800 people


By CATHY PALMER
CORRESPONDENT
More than 500 Haines City area
residents joined the city Parks and
Recreation Department and 60 vendors
at the recent Wellness Expo at Lake Eva
Banquet Hall.
The eighth annual event drew
vendors who offered free health screen-
ings including blood pressure readings,
vision and hearing tests, along with
health-related information from other
vendors.
The Wellness Expo also coincided
with the first annual Stride for Fitness
5-kilometer race which snaked runners
around Lake Eva and its environs. The
inaugural run was scheduled for last
year, but had to be canceled because of
rain, according to Haines City Parks and
Recreation Department Events coordi-
nator Holly Carter.
"But it went really well this year,"
Carter said. "We had lots of runners and
lots of help making the race and expo a
success."
Helping out with the race and run
were "countless" volunteers, according
to Carter. "We couldn't do anything with
out their help," she said. Also helping
organize and manage the run were staff
from Anytime Fitness, she said.
Vendors at the Expo paid $25 per
booth which helped pay for trophies
for the top runners, Carter explained.
"Any money that's left over goes to buy
Christmas presents for under-privileged
children," she said.
"What we try to do with this Expo is
provide a service to the community,"
she said. "This gives people a chance

to get health checks and gather health-
related information they may need in
the future."
Carter said this year's attendance
was a "good turnout" with estimates
on attendance ranging from 500 to 800.
"We have a lot of people who come out
every year," she added.
Heading the list of volunteers for
this year's events was a 25-member
contingent from Haines City High
School's Junior ROTC unit. "Those kids
were here early, manned the race route
and provided water to the runners and
then helped out at the Expo," the event
coordinator said.

With projects, Polk State nursing students educate new moms


More than 60 Polk State nursing
students displayed projects that will
educate new mothers on everything
from breastfeeding positions to post-
partum depression.
The students are all in their third
semester of the nursing program, when
their studies focus on Maternal-Child
Nursing and Women's Health.
Since fall 2011, students in the term
have been required to delve into a par-
ticular aspect of childbirth, be it caring
for the mother's clogged milk ducts or
swaddling a newborn.
Students must use the informa-
tion they glean to educate patients
in a clinical setting. They also design
presentation boards, which were
displayed in the Winter Haven Fine
Arts building. The boards are graded by
Nursing staff and, in many cases, end
up at either Winter Haven Hospital's
Regency Center for Women and Infants
or Lakeland Regional Medical Center,


where future patients will benefit from
the information.
Nursing Professor Marcia Scott, stroll-
.ing through the rows of projects, said
she's always impressed by the students'
creativity.
"It's amazing. I'm always blown away,"
she said, as she passed a project that
used a carved pumpkin to illustrate a
Caesarean-section incision.
The project is essential practice for
the students, who will have to educate
their patients on a daily basis when they
enter the workforce, Scott said.
Student Nikki Beals, herself a mother
of four, chose the topic of postpartum
depression. It may not be the most
fun topic related to new motherhood,
but it's one of the most important to
discuss, she said.
Beals, who has already presented
her information to a patient, said the
experience was a valuable one.
"My patient was really receptive to


the information. This project will help
make me a better nurse. As nurses,
we can't just push medication and
discharge our patients, we have to really
care about them and teach them to help
themselves," she said.
Student Aline Garcia, who built her
presentation board around a large pair
of rubber breasts that she had express
delivered to her home from Amazon,
based her project on breastfeeding and
the numerous difficulties that it can
pose for new moms.
Garcia, a mother of a 9-year-old, said
she wasn't provided much information
about breastfeeding, and wanted to
save others from the discomfort and
confusion she experienced.
"I had a lot of problems when I
was breastfeeding. People would tell
me to use heat, and others would tell
me to use cold, to relieve the pain,"
Garcia said, referring to the swelling
and clogged milk ducts that some


breastfeeding mothers often experience.
"Evidence-based practice tells us that
you should use cold to relieve pain in
between feedings but heat right before
a feeding to help the milk come out
easier."
With her project, and its eye-popping,
lifelike breasts, she hopes to help other
new mothers experience the joys of
breastfeeding.
"Even though it wasn't always easy,
I felt I did something really special for
my child by breastfeeding for a year and
two months. I wanted to educate other
mothers so they can do the same."
Polk State's Nursing Program is one
of several Health Sciences programs
offered by the College. The Nursing
Program offers Associate in Science and
Bachelor of Science degrees, and serves
approximately 400 students in any
given term. Approximately 60 percent of
Polk County's registered nurses gradu-
ated from Polk State.

safety belt use rates of all drivers.
According to All Children's Hospital,
the Battle of the Belts program was
initiated to change these statistics and
increase safety belt use among teenag-
ers. The goal is for high school students
to convince their peers to always wear
their safety belts.

Facial nerve can cause unbearable pain


DEAR DRS. DONOHUE AND
ROACH: I travel a great deal and am
thus unable to read your column
regularly. If you have not covered this
subject, please tell your readers about
trigeminal neurology. I suffered for
three years with severe jaw pain before
my dentist diagnosed me and sent me
to a neurologist. PK.
ANSWER: I'm pretty sure, P.K., that
you mean trigeminal neuralgia. The
trigeminal nerve relays to the brain
all the sensations arising on the face.
It also controls the chewing muscles.
Trigeminal neuralgia consists of sud-
den attacks of unbearable facial pain
centered on a cheek, the chin, the jaw
or part of the lip or gums. The pain is
brief, lasting seconds to minutes. A
person with this disorder is in constant
fear of another attack arising unexpect-
edly. A breeze blowing on the face,
chewing, talking or brushing the teeth
can provoke an attack. Sometimes it
happens without a recognizable cause.
This nerve problem most often arises
in middle ages or older.
One underlying cause of trigeminal
neuralgia has to do with an artery that
encircles the nerve. Pulsations of the
artery often are the root cause of the


"2

, I&
--low~

Loo


TO YOUR
GOOD
HEALTH


painful attacks. The pulsations irritate
the trigeminal nerve.
A neurologist is the right doctor to
see about this problem. Treatment
with medicines often can control
attacks. Carbamazepine, lamotrigine
and baclofen are the names of some of
the medicines used for treatment. The
doctor gradually increases the dose of
medicine until success is achieved.
If medicines are unable to control
attacks, then a number of other ways
of dealing with the trigeminal nerve
are available. One way is to protect
the nerve from the encircling artery. A
neurosurgeon is the doctor equipped
to perform this operation.
If you're on medicine now, how are


you doing? I'm interested in knowing
what has happened to you.
DEAR DRS. DONOHUE AND
ROACH: I finished chemo and radia-
tion therapy in September of 2008. In
December of 2010, I started bringing
up yellow and green phlegm. After see-
ing many doctors, one finally suggested
a culture of a sputum sample. The
germ involved was Pseudomonas. I was
given 21 daily infusions of tobramycin,
and after the infusion used a nebulizer
containing tobramycin. The doctor says
Pseudomonas never goes away, but.it
can be controlled. Is this so? M.S.
ANSWER: Pseudomonas (SUE-duh-
MOAN-iss) is a bacterium found in
waters, soil, plants, hot tubs and many
hospital sites. It is difficult to eradicate.
Only a few antibiotics are effective
against it. Most often, infections with
this germ are seen in people who have
other illnesses.
In some instances, it can be
eradicated. I don't know if you're under
treatment right now. I imagine your
doctor will stop treatment eventually
and see how you do on your own. If
need be, antibiotic therapy can be
restarted if Pseudomonas raises its ugly
head again.


DEAR DRS. DONOHUE AND ROACH:
My son is 14. Our neighbor was a
professional boxer for a few years. He
still trains boxers in his garage and yard.
He thinks my son would be a natural
for boxing. My son is eager to start. I'm
not so eager. I'm concerned about head
blows and the damage they cause later
in life. What's your opinion? J.K.
ANSWER: I don't believe that any
sport compares with boxing when it
comes to exhausting work. A three-
minute round drains more energy
than most other sports burn in an
hour. Continuous upper-body action
demands greater energy than does pure
leg action.
Head injuries with the potential for
brain damage at a later date are a big
concern. I would give the boy permis-
sion only if head blows were eliminated
completely in his training.
Drs. Donohue and Roach regret that
they are unable to answer individual
letters, but will incorporate them in the
column whenever possible. Readers may
write the doctors or request an order
form of available health newsletters at
PO. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-
6475. Readers also may order health
newsletters from www. rbmamall.com.


Does Internet use predispose us to become depressed?


The average American user of the
Internet spends just over an hour a
day online, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. That's way more time
than most of us spend talking with our
mothers or therapists. So it seems quite
reasonable that an analysis of how
we use the Internet might prove quite
revelatory about our individual psycho-
logical makeup.
Specifically, does Internet use predis-
pose some of us to become depressed?
A group of researchers at the
Missouri University of Science and
Technology recently asked that ques-
tion, conducting a study that examined
not Wihat people look at online, but
how they use the World Wide Web. For
example, did they spend most of their
time reading and writing emails or
playing video poker?
The researchers were specifically
interested in patterns of Internet use
that reliably related to depressive ten-
dencies. They concluded that activities
such as heavy mailing, peer-to-peer
file sharing and chatting online, plus
a tendency to quickly switch between
websites, all predicted a greater
tendency to experience depression.
Excessive mailing, for example, might
signify a relative lack of strong face-to-
face relationships and a digital cry for
connection. The scientists couldn't say

why exactly, but they noted the behav-
ioral linkages correspond neatly with
previously published findings.
That's depressing, but maybe not
surprising. According to the Centers
for Disease Control, roughly 10 percent
of U.S. adults currently suffer from
depression. As many as two-thirds of
people living with depression don't
realize they have a treatable condition.
You can read all about it on the
Internet and then get depressed.
