Whidden's Mobile Home Park dedicates memorial'to veterans By BRIAN ACKLEY BACKLEY@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM A two-year effort to create a special memorial to honor U.S. veterans came to an emotional and sun-splashed conclusion last Thursday at Whidden's Mobile Home Park. A special site, near the park's en- trance, was dedicated to those who served the nation, including 71 veter- ans who currently call the park home. U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Jonathan Currea, who recruits for the Army in the area, including in Frostproof, was the featured speaker. "Serving your country is making a decision in your heart, mind and soul that you are willing to protect the freedom of the United States against all enemies," Sgt. Currea said. "Serving your country is a decision to sacrifice personal family time, relationships, and the everyday pleasures of life that individuals take part in every day. As soldiers, we understand that our mis- sion is a sacrifice and a responsibility." In attendance was Pvt. Joshua Smeal, who graduated from Frostproof High School last spring. "He volunteered to serve his country as a young American at 17 years of age," Sgt. Currea noted. "Pvt. Smeal has been one of my best recruits, and I am confident he will do great things for our nation and United States Army" Sgt. Currea first enrolled in the Army in 2004, and recently re-enlisted through at least 2018. He saluted those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. "They have served our great nation with loyalty, duty, selfless service and personal sacrifice. I want to personally thank them. They will never be forgot- ten," he said. The idea for a veteran's memorial was HONORI5 Frostproof's Weir proves to be a 'grand' talent By BRIAN ACKLEY BACKLEY @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM As some of the other acts were on stage at the Ramon Theater Saturday, Frostproof's own Maegan Weir found herself wandering around the building's small lobby, trying to make sure her nerves were in check when the time came for her to perform. She need not have worried. The former talent show finalist she was one of 12 that competed for the top prize when the show started six years ago broke through in a big way Saturday, taking home the $1,000 top prize in the annual "Frostproof's Got Talent" show. Her performance of "Broken Wing" shook the Ramon, and impressed judges to put her atop a field of 16 finalists. "It was a tremendous performance that capped off a tremendous night of talent," noted Rotary Club President James Keene. "Maegan was great, but so was everyone else who performed. Everyone seemed to agree that it might have been the deepest field of talent we've ever had for the final round."

The 2nd Annual Frostproof Bikefest will be held Sat., March 23, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. along E. Wall Street and Orange Avenue. This year, the event is being or- ganized by the Frostproof Chamber of Commerce, and will benefit the Wounded Warriors Project, after last year's organizing group, Riding With Angels, was unable to step forward again this year. The central attraction for the event will be the Poker Run, where bikers will trek to four stops across Polk County before returning to Frostproof. The poker run stops include Just One More Bar in Plant City, Fuzzy's Tavern and Liar's Lair Saloon in Lake Wales, Main Street Tap Room in Avon Park, & P&J's Recreation Center in Frostproof. Other activities include a 50/50 drawing, bike games, food, vendors, and live music. Over 35 vendors are expected to set up along E. Wall Street and Orange Avenue providing food, games, and other merchandise. This is a change from last year, when West Wall was the focal point of events, but the Chamber wanted to move it awaw from the Play Park area there since many youngsters like to use that facility on weekend days. "This is the first year we've taken it on ourselves," said Chamber President Wesley Wise.

The Polk State Lake Wales Arts Center is located at 1099 State Road 60 East. Polk State President Eileen Holden will speak at the event and Polk State Music students will' perform. Self-guided tours of the historic building will also be available. In late 2011, the College and the Lake Wales Arts Council announced an innovative collaboration that involved the College accepting title to the Lake Wales Arts Center, which was built in 1927. In exchange, the College agreed to renovate and maintain the facility, which has since been renamed the Polk State Lake Wales Arts Center. Renovations have included installing a steel sup- port system to reinforce the rotunda of the building's sanctuary, making the structure stronger than ever before in its more than 80-year history. Also, new roofing tiles have been installed. Among other work that has been completed: Two classrooms have received cos- metic upgrades, including new flooring and paint, and modern instructional technology. Restrooms have been remodeled to meet code requirements and have received upgraded finishes. A student seating area has been created in the lobby of the building. The exterior of the building has been repaintedand a grassy courtyard space has been finished with pavers and outdoor seating. A waterproofing barrier has been installed around the exterior of the basement. Stained-glass windows have been rebuilt and protected behind a layer of hurricane-rated glass. All broken sidewalks and handrails have been repaired. Upgraded signage and landscaping has been installed. The College's first classes at the Polk State Lake Wales Arts Center began in January. * .- .* J .. ..

The company announced it has hired Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as a financial adviser and Greenberg Traurig, P.A. to act as legal counsel, said Ramon Rodriguez, chairman of both Alico Inc. and the special committee. "It's a matter of exploring all of the possibilities that exist," Rodriguez said. The Lake Wales based Atlantic Blue Group, the largest shareholder of Alico Inc., with 50.6 percent of shares, noti- fied the Alico board that it intended to explore its options, prompting the creation of the committee. Federal tax law changes enacted this year would help Atlantic Blue Group avoid paying both federal corporate taxes and federal income taxes charged to shareholders if it sells its shares this year. Otherwise, Atlantic Blue would have to wait until at least 2017 to sell if it wanted to avoid taxes both at the corporate and individual shareholder level, Rodriguez said. That's be- cause the company converted to a Subchapter S corporation in 2007, and was obligated to pay corporate tax on any sales proceeds within 10 years. "The board of Atlantic Blue thought it was in the best interest of their shareholders to explore the sale of those shares," Rodriguez said. The tax change isn't generating many other business sales locally because most companies already are Subchapter S corporations and con- verted long ago, said Randy Wright, tax specialist with Markham Norton Mosteller Wright & Co. in Fort Myers. "I haven't seen that kind of activity," he said. Atlantic Blue Trust represents the interests of three daughters of Ben Hill Griffin Jr. He was largely responsible for building up Alico until his death in 1990. He left control of the company to his son, Ben Hill Griffin III, who was forced by his sisters to give up control of the business in 2003. The special committee does not include representatives of Atlantic Blue. JD Alexander is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Alico. He has held that position since February 2010. He is the Vice-Chairman of the Alico Board of Directors and was appointed to that position in October 2009. Coffee and doughnuts taste better when you are reading your Don't believe it?

Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, and protect Floridians from drone surveillance? Legislation in Tallahassee appears headed that way and it may not be a bad thing. A bill from state Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, would prevent law enforcement agencies from using unmanned drones unless they had a war- rant or saw an explicit threat of terrorist attack. It also would prevent the use of information collected by drones to be used in court. No doubt fueled by Sen. Paul's recent congres- sional filibuster, Florida's legislation is finding a favorable reception so far. Last week, Negron's drone bill passed its third committee in a unanimous vote. A companion bill has passed two House committees. The measure has been embraced by libertarians (the Rand Paul wing of the Republican Party), as well as the American Civil Liberties Union. The big question: Is this really necessary? It seems far-fetched to imagine squadrons of unmanned drones patrolling the beaches, VS. Our Viewpoint downtown and highways of the Sunshine State. Then again, we must admit it gives us an extra layer of comfort to know police agencies wouldn't be tempted to go off in weird new direc- tions just because they have the technology and can feed citizens' fears. Law enforcement is.-drawn by lure of new technology, if it comes at a justifiable price and helps them do their jobs. Police already use manned helicopters to search for suspects on the run. Nearly 20 states, .including Florida, already permit highway surveillance from manned aircraft. It isn't often used. Remember also that cities and counties throughout Florida have now installed cameras at intersections to record and ticket motorists, arguing that it deters accidents caused by motor- ists running red lights.

I do not LakeWales public safety It seems too close for comfort. There's a pos- sibility that as costs drop the use of drones might become widespread. A slippery slope, if you will. Many people already are uncomfortable with manned aircraft search and surveillance, even when the argument for it is overwhelming, as in the case of escaped convicts. Negron's bill does allows for some uses for explicit probable cause that leads to a warrant.The possibility of wider use may be far off, but it seems downright spooky. Why not set narrow parameters now? The American experience has always seen a tension between individual liberties and public safety. The debate is contained in our DNA. It's no surprise the emerging spy-cam technology - as well as the military's use of unmanned drones overseas sparks strong debate. That's good. As for domestic uses, law demands the Federal Aviation Administration open U.S. airspace to unmanned drones by September 2015. If nothing else, let's hear the arguments and have the debate now.

Park officials and residents, along with other area individuals and businesses, all contributed time, money, materials, and services to make the monument a reality. "Richard Munson started this project about two years ago," Lee Huntsman said. "He wanted a veterans memo- rial somewhere in the park. He really wanted it, so we carried it out." The Winter Haven VFW Honor Guard offered a 21-gun salute, and trumpet players from Frostproof Middle Senior High School played taps. The "Whidden Warblers" gave a rendition of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and all guests were invited to the park's clubhouse of cake and drinks after the ceremony. Getting the privilege of raising the American Flag and a POW flag to start the event were Bob Mikolajczyk, Wayne Miles and David Stalker.

Local youngster critical after shooting A local youngster is still in critical condition as of Tuesday morning fol- lowing what investigators believe was an accidental shooting with a BB gun. Polk County Sheriff's Office detec- tives are investigating a shooting inci- dent in which a 10-year-old Frostproof child was critically injured. According to the sheriff's office, the latest infor- mation they had was that the victim, Skyler Richardson, was in a medically induced coma as of Monday. At approximately 6:53 p.m., Wednesday, March 13, 2013, law enforcers received information about a child being shot with a BB gun at 860 Otto Polk Road, Frostproof. According to reports, detectives investigating have learned the victim, POLITICS FROM PAGE 4 cling to God and guns in one breath. I'll come back to the contradic- tion, but there is an internal logic here that is worth considering for a moment. In fact, God and guns are either implicit or explicit in the first two Amendments to the Constitution, the First guaranteeing freedom of religion and the Second (the courts have held) guaranteeing the right to private ownership of firearms. So from the point of view of someone wishing to insist on Constitutional rights or in this case fearing that they are threatened it's easy to put God, guns and the Constitution together. For evangelicals, the fear that their freedom of religion is being threatened has been around for years. While it's true that there are occasional excessive attempts to rid the public square of all references to God or belief, what has mostly been inhibited in recent years is the hegemony that Protestants had over the discourse in the public square. What to some is respect for multiculturalism is to evangelicals a threat to their freedom to publicly talk about Jesus Christ. According to The Ledger, "Asked how she dealt with critics, Palmin said it's important to know who you are, and that's why she speaks out for God publicly in a country where she said it's often frowned upon or against the law to talk about reli- gious beliefs ... 'What has happened and his older brother, 13-year-old Taylor Richardson, were outside of the family's residence on Otto Polk Road shooting targets with their BB rifles. Police say the children's mother, 34-year-old Heather Richardson, was inside the residence preparing dinner, and that her boyfriend, Gary Brown, was also inside the home all four share. As the boys were playing, PCSO reports say that Taylor pointed his gun at Skyler and the 10-year-old boy was struck in the head at close range. Taylor alerted his mother and emer- gency medical services were notified. Skyler was air-lifted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa. Police reports indicated that Skyler's injuries appear to be accidental. when we can't say his name in public?' (she said)." But let's return to the combination of God and guns. The ability to be- lieve that the nature of God does not forbid the use of weapons requires a particular kind of Christian theology, one that compartmentalizes Jesus' decidedly pacifist declarations, such as "All who take the sword will per- ish by the sword," among others. Speaking as a practicing Christian myself, I'm certainly in favor of free- dom of religion; I have no problem with hunting; and I'm even willing to entertain a discussion about whether Christians may engage in self-defense under some circum- stances. But that is not the spirit of Palin's remark. "Cling to your God, your guns, your Constitution" is a seamless ideology that would have Jesus waving the American flag with one hand and clicking off the safety of his assault rifle with the other. It assumes that God created America specifically so that Christians could stand on a public school teacher's desk in their boots and preach that all those who do not accept Jesus as their savior are going to hell. It assumes that God gave Americans the right to fire at will with whatever weapon they damn well want. And I don't believe that. Dear Ms. Palin, consider this possibil- ity: Clinging to God might actually require believers to throw away their guns and turn their backs on the Constitution.

March 20, 2013 Page 6 Frostproof News March 20, 2013 Frostproof News Page 7 Students crop up at Agri-Fest ByJEFF ROSLOW JROSLOW@HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM Male calves have no name but female calves do. On Wednesday, students from Snively Elementary in Winter Haven weren't en- tirely sure of the answer to the question. They sat in the aluminum stands at the W.H. Stuart Conference Center by the horse arena and took questions from IFAS' Bridgette Carlisle as arena cattle rancher Earlow Constine sat on his horse, Happy, and helped get an- swers from the students whenever they could. The student who came up with the correct answer got a candy prize. "Little girl cows are called heifers but boy cows don't have a name," she finally answered. But, she asked what do they call (boy calves)? Quickly she answered they're called bulls whether they're young or old. The questions continued and in help- ing to celebrate the VIVA 500 which is the Department of Agriculture's marking of 500 years of agriculture in Florida, the 25th Annual Polk County Agri-Fest took that theme. "Five-hundred years ago cows were first brought to the United States," she told the fourth-graders. "Does anyone know which state it was brought to?"- Dozens of hands went up, and Texas was answered, which was incorrect, before one student correctly named Florida. They were first brought to Florida by Ponce de Leon, who also taught the native Americans how to raise them. Agri-Fest, which continues every morning until March 22, has fourth- graders from all over the county attend each day. Carole McKenzie, the execu- tive director of the Polk County Farm Bureau, said about 600 fourth-graders a day visit the Stuart Center and about 6,000 will attend the two-week event in the 10 days it is open. Agri-Fest was created 25 years ago to teach elementary school children about agriculture as it is one of the largest industries in Polk County. When it was created, John Stewart, who was the superintendent, suggested it beopen to fourth-graders only as those students had Florida history in its curriculum. It was started by the agricultural commu- nity and it has grown year after year. This year there is an agricultural display, a blueberry demonstration, orange juice squeezing lesson, horticul- tural demonstration and seed planting, and fossil hunting at Mosaic Express, Palmetto Elementary student Delilah Martinez won a basket full of education goodies because she was Big MoE's 80,000th visitor since the exhibit started in 2010. The mobile exhibit has 10 interactive exhibits where students can push but- tons and pull levers as they learn about the phosphate industry. "Our goal is to educate every person PHOTOS BY CHRISTINE ROSLOW The hands were reaching in to feel the growth on the plant at the horticulture display at Agri-Fest. Floral Avenue Elementary students, from left are Jonathon Tuck, Cheyanne Pitts, Dylan Barwick and Alex Meeks. who walks through that door on the role phosphates play in growing our food," said Jim Johnson, public affairs coordi- nator at Mosaic. "We have adults and kids alike leaving here saying, 'I never knew that.'" The interactivity of learning about the agriculture industry is part of what has made Agri-Fest popular each year. In the orange juice demonstration, students had the opportunity to squeeze oranges and drink the juice, testing the theory they saw in the video where they were told people can tell which state an or- ange comes by the way it looks, and he claimed Florida has the juiciest oranges. In the horticulture display students planted seeds in a cup they got to take home. The fossil digging students got to keep things they found. They also learned while they spent their morning there. "Florida turned into a great place to raise cows and Florida cattle ranchers have a name that has become com- mon," Carlisle asks the students. "What are they called?" Hands were raised, but the an- swer didn't come from the Snively Elementary students visiting Wednesday. Then, giving them a hint, Constine picked up a whip and started to snap with a crackle sounding each time. Still no correct answer, though there were offers. Carlisle offered letters one a time. Still no correct answer. Finally, she said, "crackers." "It comes from the sound that it makes ... and do you use the whip?" she asked turning to Constine. He said he uses it to direct his dogs but emphasized no animal ever gets hit with a whip they react only to the sound.

As part of the KidsPACK program, the children raised $600 and with some corporate donations, the children packed enough food to feed 120 children three meals a day for the week starting March 25, which is spring break for Polk County Schools. "We did it this week so it's packed throughout next week for spring break, that starts Friday," said Sarah Rogers, the director of child development for the Church of the Nazarene. Members of KidsPACK were on hand for the event and the packs will be delivered to the area schools where they will be given to children who will get them, she said. Normally the children at the church pack up weekend meals for homeless students three Saturdays a month, she said, but this under- taking took a bit more of raising money and meant collecting a lot more food; food that is easy for the children to use without having adult supervision. They raised money for the spring break collection, she said, "with their allowance, tooth fairy money, some parents give checks ... anything they possibly can." Some of the food items they give to students is stuff they don't need help to eat. Those items include Chef Boyardee, Pop Tarts, breakfast bars, apple sauce, fruit cups, trail mix and raisin packs to name a few. "Some of these kids may have pizza on Friday at school and then not eat again until they get free breakfast at school on Monday," she said, adding during spring break these children can go days without eating. Though the students who do the packing, mostly those in the Small Wonders preschool, Goal Seekers and Eagles programs, they never meet the students they're making food boxes for, but Rogers said, they probably do know them. "They don't get the names of the kids," she said. "But, they go to school with these children so they probably do know them." Because they are younger children they probably don't know the chil- dren off hand, but the adults do and can spot those who need the service. She said teachers spot children putting a school lunch they get into a napkin or they can see a child is not necessarily wearing their own clothes and sometimes the children talk to a teacher. "Usually classroom teachers get the word first and it revolves every school year," the former teacher said. "It's sometimes hard to find them." While the Church of the Nazarene has adopted 120 children, there are Logan Boone was all smiles as he packed food Friday for homeless students at the Church of the Nazarene. hundreds more homeless or what is called high-risk children that fall into this category. And, the children are not necessarily in the same place week to week. Some live with other families temporarily or some find a place to stay no matter where it is. "I had a student once in Bartow living in a different motel every other weekend," Rogers said. Some corporate sponsors the pro- gram has include Sam's Club, Flying Tigers, Publix, 98.3 FM radio, 97 FM radio, CB Citizens Trust and Garland Insurance.

Florida unemployment at 4-year,. low-, STAFF, WIRE REPORT TALLAHASSEE The jobless rate dipped slightly in Florida in January, but the tiny percentage point decline marked a huge psychological mile- stone. However in Polk County, the figure went up .01 percent. In dropping from 7.9 percent in December to 7.8 percent in January, Florida's jobless rate went below the national rate, which was 7.9 percent in January, for the first time since January of 2008. Gov. Rick Scott, who ran almost solely on a platform of lowering the state's jobless rate, it was more vin- dication that his "let's get to work" theme is showing success. "Everything we do is geared toward job creation today we have more proof that: It's working," Scott said in a statement, hitting a new catch- phrase he's rolled out in the last couple of months. In Polk County, January's figure was 8.8 percent after it posted 8.7 percent in December. But compared to last January's figure, the unemployment was well below then, which was 10.5 percent. The 8.8 percent though put Polk County as the 18th highest county in Florida and the Lakeland-Winter Metropolitan Statistical Area ranked sixth in the state. Scott went to Mitsubishi Power Systems in Orlando to highlight the new state numbers, while con- tinuing to call for a tax break for manufacturers who are buying new equipment. "We are glad to see our unemploy- ment rate fall below the national average for the first time in years, but our work isn't done until every Floridian who wants a job can find one," Scott said. In dropping to 7.8 percent, Florida's jobless rate is now at its lowest point since November of 2008, near the beginning of the recession, and down from over 9 percent just a year ago. And rather than simply improv- ing the rate by losing workers from the workforce as was the case with some earlier gains Florida's economy created jobs in January, the Department of Economic Opportunity said. There were 15,400 more jobs in January than in December, a 0.2 percent increase, putting the total employment in the state at more than 7.4 million. Trade, Transportation and utilities led the way in job growth among all sectors, DEO said. A tourism rebound is also start- ing to be evident. The hospitality industry continued to come back in January, with 3.5 percent growth in job creation. Construction was slightly down month-to-month, but year-over-year the building industry is up 7 percent. Monroe County, which is made up of the Florida Keys, continued to have the state's lowest unemploy- ment rate at 4.6 percent, followed by Walton, Alachua and Okaloosa counties, all at 6 percent or lower. Hendry County continued to struggle, with an 11.4 percent unem- ployment rate. Flagler, Putnam, Dixie and St. Lucie counties all had rates above 10 percent. MeKeel offers spending plan for mortgage settlement NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA The Florida House Appropriations Committee will be deciding how to use about $200 million in mortgage fraud money the state received last year as part of a $32 billion national settlement with five of the nation's largest loan services. Appropriations Committee Chairman Rep. Seth McKeel, R-Lakeland, proposed a committee bill that would offer down payment assistance for teachers and other professionals with low incomes in fields where recruitment and retention have presented significant challenges. It would also pay for residential reha- bilitation and reconstruction projects in blighted areas, encourage partnerships with the private sector in providing hous- ing to elderly and low income residents and provide housing grants for low income university students. The measure also would extend legal assistance to homeown- ers facing foreclosure and increase funding for courts and clerks offices to address foreclosures. Earlier this year, the Joint legislative Budget Commission approved a $60 million package of relief that would include $35 million in down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers, who under federal guidelines have not owned a home in the previous three years. The maximum benefits of $7,500 can be used to help with closing costs on 30-year, fixed rate mortgages. The Senate proposal for the money is expected to be released as a committee bill by Sen. Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando, chair- man of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development.

SThis might present difficulties for those with serious tobacco habits, making it difficult to sit through a three-hour sporting event, for example. But according to Debbie Zimmerman, the district's wellness director, there is already a ban on tobacco at school sports events a policy announced at the start of each game. Infractions can result in a $250 fine plus a six-week ban from the activity, according to Zimmerman, but the district's athletic director Don Bridges said there are no fines cur- rently levied by the schools. He did say, however, that if a coach or player is using tobacco they can be ejected by the officials and the Florida High School Athletic Association deals with the punishment. Asked if people are pretty coopera- tive when they are asked not to smoke or use tobacco at the events, Bridges said, "Very cooperative; most school districts have the same rules. When the teams are from out of state we have had some issues." Bridges said he does not think the current rules have cut down the number of parents and/or visitors who come to games or events. The Florida Clean Indoor Air Act was amended in 2011 to allow school districts the authority to designate its property as tobacco-free, according to Zimmerman. The proposed new policy will cover all forms of tobacco, including snuff, according to Zimmerman, and will do away with designated smoking areas on school campuses, (currently allowed out of the sight of students.) "Another concern that I hear a lot from principals regards smoking in the car pick-up and drop off zones at schools. The tobacco-free initiative would do away with that as well," she said. The bright side of all this is that free quit-smoking programs as well as free nicotine-replacement products (such as Nicorette) will be available to those wishing to give up the habit. "All of our wellness employees are trained in smoking cessation, also," Zimmerman said. The programs that are available to our employees now will also be available to the public. I know it's very hard to quit." The list of tobacco products that would be outlawed includes common products everyone has heard of, such as cigars, cigarettes and pipes, as well as some that may result in puzzle- ment, such as snus, orbs, sticks and strips, Periques, and Bidi. At any rate, tobacco will be ban- ished in any and all forms if the policy is approved by the board when they vote on their updated policy manual, probably in June. The board heard a presentation from Zimmerman on the policy at their Feb. 19 work session, and were asked for their support, with Superintendent John Stewart reply- ing, "What's not to support about this?" but a formal vote has not been taken. According to Zimmerman, six of the 10 school districts comprising the Central Florida Public School Board Coalition already have such policies. The four that still have smoke-free, not total tobacco-free policies are Polk, Brevard, Manatee and Hillsborough. Reasons given for the stepped-up policy include serving as a positive role model for students, reducing children's observation of tobacco use, providing safe environments for children and adults by reducing expo- sure to tobacco smoke and preparing students for the realities of smoke- free workplaces and communities. According to literature Zimmerman provided, from the Florida Tobacco Cessation Alliance, smoking alone costs employers $4.4 billion in work- place productivity loss, $7.3 billion in direct health-care expenditures, higher average insured payments ($1,145 vs. $762) and time spent on non-productive smoking-related activities; four weeks per year.

The dedicated group of art patrons was concerned about a lack of knowledge of the arts among local students. In 1972, the first festival was a week-long event at the Southgate Shopping Center that incorporated musical events, a history of fashion show, the Baroque Players of Rollins College, the Warner Southern Chorus and, almost as an afterthought, a sidewalk art show. Local artists were invited to enter the side- walk show and 15 were accepted for the first event. Refreshments were pur- chased and passed around dur- ing the day to the artists. This was the birth of our hospitality committee. To encourage -,. students, .. ' prizes were given for winners of an Art Show poster contest. A student ceramic show also was held at the Lake Wales Library. In 1973, due to the popular and suc- cessful art show, the event was moved to downtown Lake Wales. Booths were added this year along with set-up committee. In 1974, the Arts Council dropped the festival and began offering a concert series. Serious consideration was given to providing a quality fine art show. The number of artists participating that year rose to 45. In the late 1970s, Helen Aufford was the first Lake Wales Arts Council chair and local artist Reggie Strange came up with the idea of a Purchase Prize program that continues to this day. The Student Art Show moved from the li- brary to the Lake Wales Depot Museum. In 1987, the Lake Wales Art Show moved to its current location along the shores of Lake Wailes. ; Today the show has expanded to include family fun for the whole family throughout the weekend.

The variety of media, subject matter and style will offer price points for every level of collector. "With three prizes in each of the eight categories, a $1,000 Award of Excellence, $500 Award of Distinction and $250 Award of Merit, more artists will have an opportunity to win," stated Restina. "Grand prizes are the $3,500 for Best of Show, the $2,500 Judges Award for Exceptional Work and the $2,500 Citizens Bank and Trust Award for Exceptional Work." "The History of Citrus" is the theme for the $400 Helen Aufford Memorial Purchase Award offered and judged by Historic Lake Wales Society. This year's judge is Mark Ormond, a native of Boston who has had a distinguished career in the art world for more than 30 years working as a museum director and curator, uni- versity professor, writer, independent curator and consultant to institutions and private individuals. A graduate of George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania, his primary focus of interest has been modern and contemporary art. He has organized and coordinated over 200 exhibitions, a statewide survey of recent work of artists living in Florida for the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and has written catalogues for other artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Joel Shapiro, Syd Solomon and Yayoi Kusama.

In 1968, when Ann Norton was the first full time art teacher at the junior high school in Lake Wales, she wanted to show off the talent of her students. "I thought 'gee, their work is so beau- tiful,'" the youthful 84-year-old recalled. - "We were placing the artwork on easels in the cafetorium at PTA meetings and I thought 'we have to do better than this.'" Her good friend Historic Lake Wales Society Depot Museum Executive Director Mimi Hardman, whose chil- dren were in her classes, suggested hav- ing the art show at the Depot since there was no arts center at the time. Norton had a hand in solving that problem, too. When she and two other friends, Fran Updike and Milford Myhre, then the car- illonneur at Bok Tower Gardens, found out that Holy Spirit Catholic Church planned to build a new church and tear down the historic 1927 building to make space for a service station or doctor's offices, a dream was born. "Fran attended the church and knew where a key was hidden so we snuck in and started prowling around the build- ing," she revealed. "We all dreamed each in our own way about turning it into an arts center." Updike donated $100,000 as the seed money to create the Lake Wales Arts Center. In 1989, it was purchased by the Lake Wales Arts Council. In 1990, the Center was accepted on the National Register of Historic Places. After exten- sive restorations and repairs, the Center opened in 1991. Updike Hall became the Student Art Show's permanent home. After ownership of the building was Transferred to Polk State College last PHOTO BY CASSIE JACOBY Lake Wales Student Art Show founder Ann Norton and current chair Melody McKenna open the show at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Mar. 23 at the Lake Wales Depot Museum. The show runs through April 6. year, even more extensive renovations were made. Norton's art classes have al- ready resumed even before next week's grand opening. The public is invited to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony from 3-5 p.m. on Thursday, Mar. 21. Even though she never intended to be a teacher, Norton's fingerprints have left her artistic touch throughout the community. Melody McKenna, Lake Wales Student Art Show chair for the past six years, sent her own children to Norton's arts camp each summer. Norton inspired the retired classroom teacher to take on the huge volunteer project. "I don't have a lot of art in my background, but I'm an organizer," described McKenna. "When we had the space in the Center, we expanded to include 24 schools in the show. With all the renovations, we had-to con- dense this year's show to 14 schools from Dundee, Frostproof, Haines City and Lake Wales students, but we plan to have more schools in the future." Due to renovations at the Center, this year's 44th Annual Student Art Show will return "home" to the Depot.. Sponsored by Sorensen and Schade, the show will open on Saturday, March 23. The Depot, located at 325 S. Scenic Hwy., also will be open on Sunday, March 24th. The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On April 6 from 10 a.m.-noon, winners will receive their cash awards at a special ceremony and ice cream social at the Depot. The exhibit and awards ceremony will be free to the public. Ridge area schools showcasing student art this year include: Alturas, Babson Park, Ben Hill Griffin, Bethune Academy, Dundee, Eastside, Frostproof, Hillcrest, Janie Howard Wilson, Laurel, Polk Avenue, Sandhill and Spook Hill Elementary schools, Laurel Elementary, Bok Academy, Dundee Ridge, Frostproof and McLaughlin Middle schools, and All Saints, Frostproof, Haines City, Haines City International Baccalaureate, and Lake Wales High schools, as well as Lake Wales area Homeschoolers. 2012 winners were: Best of Show: Devonte Richards, McLaughlin Middle Grades 9-12: 1st Leena Flood, Haines City IB; 2nd Mabelle Santos, Haines City IB; 3rd Alicia Barnes, Frostproof HS; 4th Saul Chavez, Haines City HS; 5th Kaleigh Mixon Wright, All Saints Academy.

She is a Professor of Art for South Florida Community College in Avon Park, where she enjoys teaching vari- ous courses in drawing, design, paint- ing, pottery and art history.

D ^i ' Pa~ 22 Frostnroof News March 20, 2013 Diets different for cats and dogs The dog may be man's best friend but the cat runs the household in many families. Where affection gushes and drools freely from our canine compan- ions, it is parceled out occasionally at the whim of our furry felines. And so it has been through the battle of the ages. Cats are definitely not small dogs. Our discussions over the next several weeks will have a feline friendly focus. You S KNOWN FOR SPECIALTY BEDS FOR BETTER SLEEP www.SleepWorkfwh.com S .. -.

(>o^.~~~' Gic-e -.:^'P Pec Aw are what you eat so let's find out how a cat's nutritional needs are different from a dog's. Dogs and cats have evolved different feeding strategies over eons of time. Cats are obligate carnivores or meat eaters, the cat cannot sustain its life unless it consumes animal protein. Dogs however are omnivores meaning they can digest and utilize both plant and animal food sources. Dogs by nature are still primarily meat eaters and many dogs go undernourished by cheap grain based dog foods. Grain based cat foods are even worse. This basic difference is why cats have a much higher protein require- ment than dogs. Cats use protein for energy as well as growth, repair and maintenance. Many diets use grains and carbohydrates for a cheap energy source. This works for an omnivore, but can lead to obesity and disease in carbohydrate sensitive animals. This is one theory as to why cats fed small amounts of food can get so fat.

They are Atkin's Diet eaters with less than 10 percent carbohydrate acquired from their carnivorous menu. Many commercial foods and dry foods in particularly are 40-60 percent carbohydrate. This unnatural blend can cause a multitude of health consequences from obesity and diabetes to digestive disturbances and inflammatory bowel disease. Stick with a high quality high protein diet for your kitty and they will stay happier and healthier. There are many nutrients required by cats specifically that are not necessary in a dog's omnivorous diet. Cats require Vitamin A in its active form which can only be found in animal proteins. Niacin, an essential B vitamin, is also unable to be made by the cat and must be eaten. Several amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, are essen- tial in the cat diet. Cats are extremely sensitive to even a single meal deficient in Arginine, whereas dogs can make their own Arginine. Taurine is an amino acid not found in plant tissues but only meats (animal protein). It was found to be essential to cats by Dr. Paul Pion while researching blindness in cats in the 1970s. Taurine is important for healthy functioning of the retina, heart, bile fluid and certain aspects of reproduction in our feline friends only. A diet deficient in taurine will cause a form of heart muscle weakness in cats called dilated cardio- myopathy. Now all well balanced feline diets are fortified with taurine. As you can see there are many nutritional and biochemical differences between our two most favorite furry companions. These complexities make dietary formulation by a nutritionist imperative. Home cooked diets for cats can cause serious nutritional deficien- cies so talk to your veterinarian before taking your cats health in your own hands. Despite Garfield's carvings, cats cannot live on lasagna alone. PHOTO PROVIDED Veterinary Healthcare Associates is located at 3015 Dundee Road, Winter Haven.

In an effort to combat this problem, a $500,000 federal grant will go some way to create a health clinic there. "Mulberry was chosen because of the great need there, according to Census data," said Helen Sears of the'Central Florida Planning Council, which will run the 5,000-square foot clinic. "There are considerable needs in Mulberry that are not being addressed. (The clinic) is designed to serve the citizens of Mulberry, but it is for everyone." There are also six other health clinics, she said, but according to a recently taken survey of Mulberry residents the distance to seek and maintain health is a primary concern. The survey showed 33.1 percent of respondents prefer to get health care in town and 28.8 percent would use it. The survey also showed that 54.2 per- cent of the respondents said the commu- nity would benefit from having additional healthcare providers and 38.4 percent disagreed strongly the community does not have enough health care providers in the county. SThese results come from a city that statistics show have 7 percent more people who-suffer from arthritis than in the-rsto-6f the county, 2.5 percent more tan county suffer from asthma, 4 percent more have high cholesterol, 2.5 percent yf the people suffer more from diabetes than those in the rest of the county. And, 49 percent of the city's residents are obese. This comes from a city where 56.4 have heak&n. insurance compared to 76 percent of the county's population have health insurance. Sears said that two problems faced by Mulberry is "Diabetes and there's a high rate of asthmaa" At the opening of the clinic, much of what may be needed for Mulberry residents may not be addressed, but that is coming. Gaye Williams, the chief execu- tive officer of the Central Florida Regional Planning Council, said the clinic will serve school-age children when it opens because that is what the grant money is for, but eventually it will serve everyone. And, the other thing is the clinic is not coming soon. The city of Mulberry donated the land for the clinic which is about an acre on the corner of State Road 60 and Prairie Mine Road. A brownfield studyshows the site has been determined to be clean. This would be the sixth health care clinic for Central Florida Health Care. The others are in Frostproof, Dundee, Lake Wales, Winter Haven and Lakeland. The grant, which the county got in December, allows the city two years to build the site. Ground has not been broken, Sears said. "We're working toward that goal but we're hoping it will be sooner than that," Sears said. And while the expo is not directly related to the clinic it does tie to it in two areas. It is designed for everyone in the county, while it is also to let people know there is another nearby facility in east Polk County to serve health needs. The expo is aimed for adults whereas the clinic is planned to treat children. Everyone who attends the expo should get their health checked there and there will be other items available to keep the children from being too bored at a health expo. IF YOU GO WHAT: Mulberry Health Awareness & Wellness Expo WHERE: Mulberry Civic Center, 901 E. 5th St., Mulberry WHEN: 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 13 WHY: To promote health to county residents of any age and focus on Mulberry residents While the focus is on general health awareness, careers, nutrition, home and fire safety, fitness and health risk facts and will have health agencies, civic organiza- tions and other health vendors on hand there will also be a bounce house, face painting, games and snacks and other items they say will both entertain and educate the youth. "The expo is aimed at adults but the kids should get there too," Sears said. "The library will be reading to the kids." Lakeland Regional invests in future of healthcare At its upcoming March 25 meet- ing, Lakeland Regional's Board of Directors plan to vote on the first phases of a multi-year Master Facility Plan, which includes build- ing a state-of-the-art medical tower. This expansion is part of Lakeland Regional's ongoing commitment to deliver the highest quality healthcare for the region. "This expansion represents one way in which we have partnered with the Watson Clinic and the City of Lakeland to realize the vision and potential of establishing a medical mall corridor. Having our respective cam- puses come together, like this, creates a modern health care destination for the region that ensures the best health out- comes for patients and families," said Elaine Thompson, president and CEO of Lakeland Regional Health Systems. The new medical tower will be across the street from Lakeland Regional's existing Emergency Department on Parkview Place and will physically join with the north side of the hospital through interior over-the-street con- nectors. It will include a new Surgical Suite with the capacity for 17 hybrid- sized operating rooms designed to accommodate the latest technology and equipment.

The Better Living Comnnmurnity Center of-cf Lake Placid FLORIDA HOSPITAL HEARTLAND MEDICAL CENTER Lake Placid March 20, 2013, Page 30 Frostproof News March 20, 2013 Frostproof News Page 31 By MARY CANNADAY MCANNADAY @ HEARTLANDNEWSPAPERS.COM By Friday's 4 p.m. cutoff, 23 people had applied for the top post in the Polk County School District, two local administrators among their ranks. John Small, Senior Director of Workforce Education, and David Lewis, Associate TSuperintendent of Learning, have each applied for the position David Lewis of Polk County School District Superintendent, a position currently filled by interim superintendent John Stewart, who served three elected terms now has previ- ously come back to temporarily take the helm John Small following the retirement of Sherrie Nickell. The new superintendent, when selected, will be paid within a range of $210,000 to $260,000 depending on a number of factors including experi- ence and education. It is no longer an elected position and the school board will choose a person for the job. John Small: In his resume, Small, a Lakeland resident, lists some ac- complishments of which he is most proud. Among these: Creating Polk County Schools' career academy system of 27 middle school pre- academies and 55 high school acad- emies and instituting the Penn Foster High School online program at Ridge Career Center as a dropout retrieval program, and implementing a post- secondary avionics program at Traviss Career Center and received (Federal Aviation Administration) FAA certifi- cation for airframe mechanics. Small was instrumental in estab- lishing and finding funding for the Chain of Lakes Collegiate High School on the Winter Haven and Lakeland Polk State College campuses. He wrote the charter establishing it as a charter school focused on both AA and AS degrees and "accepting students exhibiting desire rather than the highest aptitude." Small started his career with the school system in 1986, teaching math and shop at Bartow High School. Small has a bachelor's degree in Technology Education from California University of Pennsylvania, and a master's in Education Leadership from Nova University. David Lewis: Lewis, a resident of Fort Meade, has been associated with education for 32 years as a teacher, princi- pal, then administrator. As Polk's Associate Superintendent for Learning, Lewis has overseen and guided the advanced place- ment programs within the county to levels that brought the state's top honor last year and honor roll status this year. Also among his notable achieve- ments, Lewis lists conceptualizing and implementing the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math academies in all Polk Middle schools, with planned expan- sion to feeder elementary schools. He also developed a three-year imple- mentation plan for the Common Core standards with the plan available in English, Spanish and Haitian-Creole. Lewis has overseen an $18.2 million Learning Division budget as well as $36.2 million in federal Title One and Title Two entitlement grants. Lewis earned a BA in Music Education from Florida Southern College; an MA in Music Education from Vandercook School of Music in Chicago; a certification in Educational Leadership from USE and is a candidate for a Doctorate in Education from National Louis University in Chicago. Complete resumes along with references can be viewed on the school board website, at www. polk-fl.net.

BARTO W LAKE W ALES FO RIT M EAD E FR OST P RO O F H A IN ES CITY LA K ELAN D W INTER HAVEN Do I need to be present for a home inspection? It is not a requirement for you to be pres- ent during the home inspection. If you have any noted concerns, make sure the inspector is aware of the issues so he can address them with you after the inspection. Are other types of inspections required? No inspections are required, but it is advised in order to verify from an expert that there is nothing majorly wrong with the home. A Termite inspection is advis- able to help determine any issues with "wood destroying organisms" or "rotten wood". Home inspectors are trained to identify problems that may not be readily visible to the buyer. What about Chinese Drywall or Mold? Carrie Cornelius Prime Plus Real Estate, Inc There are inspectors that specialize in these fields. They should be contacted if there is evi- dence of mold or Chinese drywall present in the home. Chinese drywall is most common in newer homes built between the years of 2004-2006. Visible signs of Chinese drywall include corrosion of copper coils, faucets, or anything contain- ing metal. There is also a noticeable, strong sulfur smell. Mold could develop from leaking plumbing pipes, roof leaks, or areas that are exposed to excessive moisture. This also has a strong smell and is visu- ally black in color. HOT inteMreplc 4,0 SOLD LISTING; 1860 ELOISE COVE DR., WINTER HAVEN; LISTED & SOLD FOR $245,000 BY PRIME PLUS REAL ESTATE.
