PHOTO PROVIDEDSix/Ten and Silver Properties of Winter Haven staff are teaming up to lease new luxury apartments downtown.

WINTER HAVEN – Supporters of the devel-oper Six/Ten gathered downtown Thursday, June 21 to celebrate the ground breaking of a new 20-unit luxury apartment complex called 20 on Second.

Joe Bogdahn, one of the Six/Ten directors, said the development is just the second set of apartments built in downtown Winter Haven over the past 37 years. The first new apartments were the Rain Garden, a Six/Ten property built in 2015.

Both residential properties are relatively close to Grove Roots, a local brewery built with support from Six/Ten staff.

The developer has renovated lots of other space downtown, leading to multiple restau-rants and other businesses opening in down-town Winter Haven of late. Bogdahn said the missing piece of the puzzle is getting more people to live downtown because more peo-ple would mean even more new shops and restaurants.

As Executive Director of the state agency charged with enforcing the Florida Civil Rights Act and addressing all forms of discrimination in Florida, but more importantly, as a mother of three beautiful children, I am deeply concerned with the issue our nation is facing today: separating children from their parents “suspected” of ille-gally entering the United States. I find myself joining the chorus of many Americans, from both sides of the aisle, in condemning the Department of Homeland Security policy; a policy which has sent nearly 2,000 children to mass detention centers or foster care. I cannot sit idly by and not voice my concern toward any system which encourages the warehousing of chil-dren in locations apart and often at great distances from their parents.

Yes, this issue is a complex one and not one which should be dealt with with-out careful and wise consideration. I too agree that our immigration sys-tem is not working as intended. How-ever, the injustice of a zero-tolerance

policy is not the answer. We cannot simply sit back in the comfort of our homes and stay silent. As Americans, we must have an honest and frank dis-cussion on this issue and act quickly to resolve the issue.

I call upon all decisionmakers at all levels of government, federal, state and local, to step up to the plate and ACT NOW! If we pride ourselves on be-ing the nation that sees all persons for the content of their character, not the color of their skin, not the country of their birth and not the religion of their choice, then we have an obligation to reunite these detained children with their parents. But first and foremost, we must stop separating parents and children. And, let us never forget these words… “Truly, I tell you, what-ever you did not do to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

Michelle Wilson, Executive DirectorFlorida Commission on Human Rela-tions

POLK COUNTY – Last week in a sto-ry with the headline “Landfill gas, term limits, alcohol sales discussed by BoCC” the Winter Haven Sun pub-lished a mistake.“A few weeks ago Commissioner Bill Braswell suggested changing the county alcohol sales law to allow Sun-day sales. Commissioner John Hall objected to this change and Commis-sioners Todd Dantzler and (Melony) Bell said that this topic could be ad-dressed after the election, after which they both term out.”

CorrectionReporter notes used to write that para-graph were not accurate. Commis-sioner Braswell suggested package alcohol sales start earlier on Sundays. During discussion, Commissioner Hall did object to this but Commissioners Dantzler and Bell did not defer. Com-missioners Bell and Dantzler compro-mised saying they would allow wine and beer package sales earlier but not liquor. A vote on the matter may be placed on a yet to be disclosed agen-da.The newspaper regrets the error.

Most of the time that you hear about the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, you’re hearing about the awesome job our deputies do, but there are a lot of im-portant people working for us who do not get much recognition. Among those are our Victim Advocates.

Our Victim Advocates help crime vic-tims with transportation to court or shelters, victim compensation claims assistance, and death notifications. They work closely with law enforce-ment, victims, and social service agen-cies, getting victims the help they need. When someone is victimized in a crime, or a family is dealing with a sud-den death, things can become over-whelming, and our Victim Advocates step in to lend emotional support and guidance. They respond to domes-tic violence calls, homicides, sexual batteries, drownings, traffic fatalities, natural deaths, and officer-involved

POLK COUNTY – State legislation as-sociated with the Valentine’s Day mass murder at Parkland is leading to some changes for county students this fall.

Senate Bill 7026, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Pub-lic Safety Act, mandates that armed guards be in public schools and man-dates that mental health treatment be made available to students. Much has been written about the Guardian Program, but little has been published about the mental health plans.

Over the coming weeks, every school board in the state has to submit draft proposals to implement mental health services to students in need.

State legislators have allocated $2.4M to identify at risk students in Polk County and get them some help. During a June 19 Polk County School Board work session, the local draft plan was discussed.

Staff recommended that three coun-ty elementary schools, Lake Shipp in Winter Haven, Floral Avenue in Bar-tow and North Lakeland Elementary will be the first three schools to house “Intensive Behavior Units.” These units will work with 5-6 of the most at risk students each who will be bussed in. Each unit will be comprised of a teach-er, a classroom paraprofessional and a registered behavior technician and be supported by a licensed mental

health counselor, school social worker, a board certified behavior analyst and an academic support teacher.

School board staff said a fourth el-ementary school may be added to serve students who live in the eastern portion of the county. Staff are focus-ing on younger students first but may add a high school to the list in the fu-ture.

POLK COUNTY – Now in its 12th year, the Kids Tag Art Program has raised more than $1M in support of art in state public schools.

Polk County Tax Collector Joe Tedder dreamt up the idea a dozen years ago when he was invited to speak to a group of fifth graders at a Great Amer-ican Teach In event about his profes-sion. Tedder brought in some special-ty license plates to show the kids.After, some of the kids hand colored

shootings. They see people during the worst time of their lives, and as-sist them at a time when many people can’t think straight.

They’ve transported children under child-protection orders, they’ve assist-ed people with getting clothing, tak-en abused women to shelters to keep them safe, and they’ve had to tell chil-dren that their parents have passed away.

Currently, PCSO has two Victim Ad-vocates who cover the entire coun-ty. They’re certified through the At-torney General’s Office, and they’re constantly training to maintain their certification as well as learning new procedures and methods. In addition to working for the Sheriff’s Office, they occasionally help the State Attorney’s Office.

They’re good people doing emo-tionally difficult work. They truly are among the many unsung heroes of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

license plates as part of their thank you for coming to speak to us notes. That is when Tedder thought, “What if I could help sell these and have profits go back to the art class?”

Now tax collectors in 16 counties have a Kids Tag Art Program with six other counties coming online soon, Tedder said. Recently, Tedder was honored by Gov. Rick Scott and his cabinet for reaching the $1M raised benchmark.“It would not have happened without the past and present leadership,” Ted-der told the Polk County School Board June 19.

This year the program raised more than ever. Tedder presented the board with a check for $39,171.80. Over 12 years Tedder said $362,998.44 has been raised for Polk County Schools.

If your primary care doctor isn’t available, you may want to chat with a BayCareAnywhere online doctor, who can evaluate patients and write prescriptions. Or maybe you need to see a doctor in person, which means a trip to your local BayCare Urgent Care, located next to the Winter Haven Hospital main campus or in Haines City. And then

there’s the Winter Haven Hospital emergency department, which is best saved for, well, emergencies. We don’t want you visiting the emergency department unnecessarily, which costs much more than an online doctor visit or a trip to urgent care.

“It is a goal of Six/Ten to make Winter Haven the coolest small city in Florida, and I think we are well on our way with the efforts of everybody here helping to make that happen,” Bogdahn told a crowd of a few dozen supporters.

Six/Ten staff have plans to build an additional 125 residential units in the downtown area over the coming years. In addition to the 20 units on Second Street, Bogdahn said there are plans to build 40 units behind Grove Roots, around 30 units near the library and other sites are being considered.

Winter Haven Mayor Brad Dantzler said Six/Ten staff have made down-town Winter Haven much different than it looked when he was a child.

At the ground breaking, the mayor shared a story about a recent invi-tation to the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee. Mayor Dantzler said he and around 25 other politicians from around the state were given a min-ute each to introduce themselves at a group dinner. Upon introducing him-self, Gov. Rick Scott interrupted the mayor to say, “You guys have got it go-ing on down there.”

The mayor said a couple of years ago the governor was in town and stopped to eat at The Fire Restaurant downtown. Dantzler said the gover-nor had a great experience.

“We owe a lot to Six/Ten and are grate-ful for what they are doing,” Mayor Dantzler said.

The two bedroom units at 20 on Sec-ond will be around 1,300 square feet with luxury kitchens, private patios, open floor-plans and modern design according to a brochure. The one bed-room units will be around 900 square feet.

“Downtown is becoming a happy place and we are proud to be a part of it,” Bogdahn said.

20 on Second is pre-leasing now and will be available in the spring of 2019. For more information contact staff with Silver Properties of Winter Haven at silverpropertieswh.propertyware.com.

The City of Lake Wales and Ray Brown, who has spent years trying to reno-vate the downtown Grand Hotel, have reached a temporary truce.

City manager Ken Fields told commis-sioners last week that a “stop work” order on the hotel has been lifted af-ter being issued a couple of months ago when 26 building code violations were imposed on the project.

The two sides met two weeks ago to try and work out their differences.

“We have something worked out with him at the moment,” Fields said. “We gave him 21 days to come back with a schedule and scope of work for the hotel. If that’s satisfactory, then once we get some engineering plans some-times after that, he will have a build-ing permit, he can continue working on the hotel.”

Fields said the building permit would be necessary now going forward to allow Brown to restart the renovation process.

“Things that he’d done to date are cos-metic in nature so he didn’t require a building permit, so he’s got some time now,” he added. “If he meets his obli-gations, he’ll be able to move forward in the future. That meeting went very well.”

The city last issued building permits in

Developer, Lake Wales staff reach truce

August, 2017, but subsequently failed to renew them, citing the more than two dozen violations. The city sent Brown a letter dated April 2 indicating that there had been no activity at the site for 180 days, and that it was at that point “considered abandoned.”

Brown first started his renovation ef-forts in 2010. At several junctions, he and the city have clashed over the work and slow progress, but Brown has doggedly continued to work at the site, mainly on the building’s ex-terior.

He said it wouldn’t be a problem to meet the 21 day deadline, although as of Monday, he had yet to deliver any documents to the city, he confirmed.

“It’s stuff I had four years ago,” Brown said. “It’s stuff I’ve had and been want-ing to do. We’ve been sitting on it for four years.”

The meeting was between Brown and one of his employees and several representatives of the city’s building department. Brown said the meeting was his idea.

“I called them. They’ve committed to separate the political attacks from the code enforcement process. That polit-ical part should never be intermingled with code enforcement,” Brown noted. “They’ve committed to not allow that to continue to happen, so I think a lot of people are going to hold them accountable on that. And hopefully they’ll continue to allow us to do what we need to do.”

LAKE WALES – Longtime Lake Wales resident Catherine Price is making a bid to become the next Florida sena-tor from the 26th district.Price, a Democrat, had paperwork cer-tified by the Florida Board of Elections on June 20.

“The people who live in Senate Dis-trict 26 deserve legislative represen-tation in Tallahassee that is honest, accountable and responsive to their needs,” Price noted. “I started my ca-reer in agriculture and continued as a nurse and public health administrator. We need good jobs, safe schools and a healthcare system that provides for the needs of all Floridians.”

Price is a native of Tennessee and graduated in 1981 from Clemson Uni-versity with a degree in agricultural science. Later, she pursued a master’s degree from the University of South Florida and a nursing degree from Polk

Price announces bid for Florida senate seat State College. Her work in health care

includes serving as business manager for Peace River Center, chairman of a countywide health alliance, and as clinical director of a free clinic.“I have traveled throughout the Heart-land of Florida and am energized and ready to take this campaign to the next level. I am proud to be a part of the coming Blue Wave that is be-ing driven by strong women from throughout the great state of Florida,” she added.She has lived in Lake Wales for more than three decades, and is married to David Price, President of Bok Tow-er Gardens. They have one adult son, Stefan.

The 26th district senate seat is current-ly filled by Republican Denise Grims-ley of Sebring, who is terming out of the legislature, and is making a bid for Commissioner of Agriculture. The district actually covers seven counties, including the southern half of Polk, all of Highland, Hardee and Desoto, Okeechobee and Glade counties and a portion of Charlotte county and Lee County as well.


POLK COUNTY – For the past few weeks, the Winter Haven Sun has been publishing stories about three county commissioners in favor of voting for $150M in two new county property taxes over the next 10 years, even as income from county property tax has been rising of late.

In addition to these proposed proper-ty tax increases, which will be put to a vote July 18 at 2:30 p.m., Polk County Commissioners unanimously voted to increase impact fees last week. The newspaper reached out again to coun-ty staff and commissioners for an ex-planation.

County Manager Jim Freeman and Commissioners Melony Bell, John Hall and Todd Dantzler chose not to respond. Commissioner George Lind-sey said impact fees were suspended during the recession and have been re-imposed incrementally since. Lind-sey said impact fees are for new capital needs whereas property taxes can ad-dress catching up on prior deficiencies.

“I also called the Polk County Builder’s

BoCC: Mo money, mo problemsAssociation and gave them a heads up,” Lindsey said.

Commissioner Bill Braswell replied by email with a more elaborate explana-tion. Commissioner Braswell said that while it may appear that the commis-sion is raising taxes by $150M over 10 years plus an additional $1M per year in impact fees, the reality is that it takes three commissioners to vote and re-new these taxes every budget year and that four of the five commission-ers will term out of office over the next 2.5 years. Commissioner Braswell has six years until he could be voted out of office.Commission Braswell said he would rather set aside money every year to address future needs rather than bor-row money with bonds to address growth.

“We are not the federal government,” Commissioner Braswell wrote. “We are not bloated with nonsense spending and foreign aid. We don’t send money out of our county. We are the provider of almost all of your daily government functions. When you drive to work each day, you see the results of county taxes. I know there are plenty of people who think this is an irresponsible move on our part.”

WINTER HAVEN – Col. Peter J. Stewart, a U.S. Air Force pilot shot down over North Vietnam and killed in 1966, whose remains were recently recov-ered, has returned home.

His son Jim Stewart said it was the first Father’s Day he has spent with his dad in more than 50 years. Winter Haven Police Department officers and some veterans on motorcycles helped es-cort Col. Stewart’s remains to Oak Ridge Funeral Care on Father’s Day.

On the following Monday, a funer-al was held at St. Matthews Catholic

Welcome home, Col. StewartChurch in Winter Haven. Multiple rows of pews were filled with grandchildren who had never met their grandfather. The church was filled to near capaci-ty from members of the public who came to thank Col. Stewart for his ser-vice to the county and give support to his family.

Before the service, his casket was blessed, and after, there was a full military honor ceremony including a flyover. Flags were given to his widow and children.

A St. Christopher medal was recovered from the remains and Jim Stewart said he was making the medal into a neck-lace for his mother to wear close to her heart.

It’s one thing to spend years in the mi-nor leagues as a member of a Major League Baseball organization work-ing to groom you for a big league job someday.

It’s another thing all together to toil in the lowest levels of professional baseball, the so-called independent leagues, where you are a free agent every day without the backing of a MLB club.

Which makes Fort Meade’s Josh Allen’s story of singular personal persever-ance so unbelievable, so unlikely, so utterly fantastic.

Two weeks ago, Allen signed with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, the AA affiliate of the New York Mets, midway through this fifth season in indepen-dent league baseball, such a long time in the baseball wilderness that Allen had pretty much decided this was go-ing to be his final year playing ball.

He had no idea how much light was about to be shined in the otherwise diamond dimness that makes regular stops in towns like Fargo, Sioux City (and Sioux Falls too) and Gary, Indiana.

He has no agent, so when the man-ager of the St. Paul Saints called, he had no idea that what some would call his baseball delusion was about to instantly morph into his diamond dream.

“I really didn’t have the slightest idea,” Allen recalled. “We had an off day and I woke up to a phone call from my manager. He said, ‘where are you right now.’ And I said ‘I’m in my apartment.’ And he said, ‘Well I’m pulling up to

Former Yellow Jacket’s baseball dream comes true

your apartment right now. You’re con-tract just got purchased by the Mets.’ They said they were going to put me in AA right away to see what I could do.”

A few phone calls later, including emo-tional ones with his Mom and Dad, Al-len was packing a few apartment be-longings and at 4 a.m. the next day, he was up to get on a flight to Hartford for a game Friday night, in which he got a hit.

Which isn’t surprising, either, since that’s all pretty much Josh Allen seems to do.

He was hitting .344 when New York called. Allen was named the 2016 American Association when he hit .356 for the Evansville Otters. In over 1,300 at bats in indy ball, he has a ca-reer .309 average, For good measure, the second baseman also stole 78 bas-es.

WINTER HAVEN – A team of young Winter Haven-area athletes need your help paying for a trip to their state baseball championship in Palm Beach Gardens.

The Winter Haven Youth Baseball League All Star Rooke B Team won their last playoff game in a dramatic come from behind victory.

They need around $4K total for tour-nament fees, hotel rooms and other travel costs.

For information on how you can do-nate, email [email protected] or call 863-268-8278.

WH All Stars need some help

PHOTO PROVIDEDThe Winter Haven All Stars include Brick Rit-tinghouse, Cooper Knowlton, Alberto Gon-zalez Jr., Sebastian Cruz, Brantley Jackson, Jase Bringle, Easton Browning, Jaylen To-fanelli-White, Matthew Adkins, Braylnn Bap-tiste and Tatcher Emberton. The boys could use your help to get to the championships.

WINTER HAVEN – The Winter Hav-en Rotary Club celebrated a year of community action during their recent 2018 Winter Haven Rotary Club Instal-lation Dinner.

Last year club member Joe Garrison of Garrison Property and Land Manage-ment donated 3,500 seedlings which were planted around Winter Haven, Eagle Lake and Dundee.

Back to school supplies and uniforms were donated to five elementary schools including Snively, Garner, Wahneta, Inwood and Garden Grove.

The club teamed up with the Lake Wales Rotary Club to help with their International Project in Honduras and the Rotaract Club of Polytechnic Uni-versity with their Project in Haiti.

WH Rotary selects new board, president Six local high school students were

given college scholarships, funds were donated to Coin for Alzheimer’s Research Trust and items were also donated to New Beginnings School and the Winter Haven High School Ro-botics team.

Outgoing president Brian Reeves welcomed incoming president Jillian Spangler.

By law a student who brings a bomb, gun or other dangerous object to school would be mandated to go to an Intensive Behavior Unit. Length of stay would be up to school staff and students can be placed in this program involuntarily. Students who commit arson, assault, battery, make a bomb threat, commit a felony, get into a fight with injury, gang activity, oth-er serious law violations like robbery, confrontations with school personnel

SCHOOLSFROM PAGE 4 or other violence “may be” transferred

to one of these units.

Not every student suffering from a mental health problem is a potential school shooter. In other words the $2.4M is not just being spent on 15-18 of the most at risk students. Students who suffer from depression for exam-ple could also benefit from this new policy.

Student support teams will be given staff facilitators, referrals to mental

health treatment could be alterna-tives for suspension.

“The district will contract for mental health services for outpatient thera-pies, case management, family ther-apy, psychiatry, medication manage-ment as recommended,” according to the draft plan discussed June 19.

Of the $2.4M, around $400K is ded-icated to help students in charter schools. Around $1.4M of the amount would be used to hire additional staff

with the vast majority being 18 new “mental health facilitators” who would work under three supervisors and a support specialist. Around $300K would be allocated for actual outpa-tient treatment.

In addition, in the fall, every public school student will need to wear an ID badge next year. Sweatshirts with hoods can be worn in cold weather but students will not be able to be at school with the hood up. Trench coats have been disallowed.

The date was February 2, 1968 and Winter Haven would welcome a brand new entertainment venue … the Con-tinental “Rocking Chair” Theatre to the Southeast Plaza Shopping Center. It was one of 40 such movie houses owned by Floyd Theaters of Haines City. The Chain extended from coast-to-coast in Florida — Daytona Beach to Clearwater. Carl Floyd was the Pres-ident.

The building was owned by the shop-ping center and designed by Charles Johnson of Lakeland. Millie Brantley would serve as manager.

The theatre was 60 feet wide by 183 feet long and featured 556 rocking chair seats “continentally spaced in rows 48 inches apart for maximum comfort. It was from this feature that the theatre got its name. The projec-tion surface was 17 feet by 39 feet crystal gain screen for maximum clar-ity and light. Interior colors were tur-quoise and gold.

The lobby was circular with two en-trances and one exit. It featured a crystal and metal chandelier and hand molded quarry tile with a turquoise glaze around a large carpeted center circle. The walls were paneled in rustic hickory. The ticket booth was inside for convenience in inclement weather.

The auditorium featured a smoking lodge. The walls featured sound-fold acoustical multicolored drapes. Pre-show stereo music was to be featured each day and continuous stereo music would be heard in the lobby.

The opening feature film was the Walt Disney production, “The Happiest Mil-lionaire.”

In later years the Continental became a two-screen theatre and was called the Continental Mugs and Movies. The theatre closed circa 2006. In 2007 Publix announced plans to move their Southeast Plaza location to the former theatre site.

The Museum of Winter Haven History is now closed for the summer. New displays are underway. Group visits are available by appointment. Contact Bob Gernert at 863-206-6855 or [email protected].

FIRST PLACE ON THE LINE – Last Saturday’s 3-1 win over FC Miami City means the Lakeland Tropics will play for first-place in the southeast divi-sion of the USL’s Premier Development League this coming Saturday at Bryant Stadium. Lakeland will host the Soccer Institute of Montverde Academy, the defending division champs. The Trop-ics and Aguilas (Spanish for Eagles) have identical 6-1-2 records this year, and SIMA already hung a 2-0 loss on the Tropics a few weeks back in Mont-verde. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. More info at www.lakelandtropocs.com.HARD HITTING HIGHLANDER – Lake Wales graduate Brian Howard got into the pro boxing game at a later age than most, but until last Friday, at least, things had gone pretty well, with a 13-0-2 record which put him line for a shot at the International Boxing Fed-eration’s North American light heavy weight.

The center’s drop in game room operates from 9 a.m. to noon, and after-noons from 2 to 5 p.m. And it’s more than just board games.

The good folks at Polk County have an-nounced a huge October event coming to the Mulberry area, the Tough Mudders Inc. Obstacle Course Run at the Mims Family Corporate Ranch. OK, it’s not for everybody, but the event could draw as many as 5,000 competitors, with an eco-nomic impact to the area of about $3.5 million. And, in the more conventional sense, the Youth Basketball of America will bring its inaugural Winter Nationals to the county just after Christmas, includ-ing some of the top youth teams from Orlando and Tampa and beyond. That’s

The date is July 7 and boats will go out of Lake Shipp Park. Cost is $60 per boat with a guaranteed payout of $1,000 to first place winners, with a minimum of 50 boats. All proceeds go to benefit the RPC Missions Team traveling to Tegucigalpa, Honduras later this year to build homes for families living in a trash dump com-munity.

LAKE WALES NEWS

WRITTEN BYBRIAN ACKELYNEWS CORRESPONDENT

As city officials continue to negotiate possibly buying the Lake Wales YMCA, residents are now able to use the fa-cility’s pool free of charge four days a week.

Community swim hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Proof of city residency is required, such as a driver’s license or current utility bill.

“To date we’ve had over 300 families representing over 1,000 individuals who have signed up to use the pool,” City Manager Ken Fields said. “It’s been a tremendous success. It’s a good in-dication of the type of partnering the city can do with non-profits. We can say Lake Wales does have a pool for its cit-izens at this point. It’s been a very, very good program.”

City commissioner Robin Gibson said that he has talked with YMCA em-ployees about how the program has worked out so far.

“He said it has gone very well. He said it hasn’t exceeded the capacity and ac-tually has raised more interest in the Y. So it has worked for the benefit of the Y as well,” Gibson noted. “The times I was there, I saw kids and parents. It was a great move.”

YMCA pool open free of charge now to LW residents

There was nothing substantively new in the negations between the two parties, Fields added.

“We’re continuing to work on a long range agreement with the Y for addi-tional services,” he added.

The lack of a community pool has been a long-standing issue in the city. For a long period of time, there was $1 million set aside to build a city pool, and at one time it appeared that might happen a number of years ago. However, city leaders at that time decided against it, saying they could build the facility, but would not have enough money to cover its yearly operational costs.

The current commission has identi-fied increased recreational opportu-nities as a city priority this year, and is also looking at a possible plan that would build a new multi-use facility that would double as a recreation center and hurricane storm shelter.

Fields indicated that expenditure would likely go before voters as a referendum item because of the ulti-mate cost.

Normally, the theft of some baby bot-tles might not be considered a huge deal.

Unless, of course, those bottles were filled with over $835 in cash and checks.

Lake Wales police have charged Bur-ley Howard, 59, 315 D Street, with grand theft after they allege Howard – who police said was currently out of jail on bond for two counts of bur-glary, grand theft, felony petite theft and two counts of criminal mischief – took 30 baby bottles from inside Lake Wales First Baptist Church on June 18.

The bottles had been used as a fund-raiser for pregnancy programs at the Lake Wales Care Center, police said, and contained $518.10 in cash and another $317 in checks.

Baby bottle thefts leads to felony charges According to police, a church worker

came across Howard inside the facili-ty. After contacting other workers, one of them confronted the suspect in an alley on the north side of the church. At that point, the arrest affidavit indi-cates, Howard dropped the box and ran.

Police were able to locate him a short time later walking on Tillman Avenue near Scenic Highway, according to the affidavit, At that time, police said Howard denied taking the box from the church, and that he didn’t know what was in it.

After seeing surveillance video show-ing him taking the box from the church, Howard said he took it be-cause he thought it had water bottles in it and he was thirsty, police said.

According to Lake Wales police, How-ard has a criminal record that extends all the way back to 1988, including a variety of charges from burglary and grand theft to theft of a firearm and resisting arrest.

There’s a concert coming to Bartow to rock (well, country rock) the 242nd Anniversary of the United States. on July 4, there will be two concerts.

The Bartow Adult Concert Band, formed in the late 1980s by former Bartow High award-winning band di-rector, John DeYoung. After 24 years and DeYoung’s second retirement the band is going strong, giving free monthly concerts for half the year and special show on the Fourth of July.

The second show takes place outside the auditorium and gets underway after the show at the civic center, was put together by country artist Eli Mos-ley. He said the set up is little different this year.

“It’s more of a (music) show and less with music in background,” said Mos-ley, a Bartow native who has just re-leased his third album.

Mosley said in his last two years play-ing at the festival – now in it’s 38th year – he’s noticed the people in the crowd were doing their thing and the music on stage was something that was there. This year, it’s more of rock party.

“This year we have lighting, back-drops, runways into the audience,” he said. “It’s a full Nashville production.”

For the show, Mosley pulled together a bunch of country artists he knows from Nashville – where he spends a lot of time – and some of what’s been

The Bible verse – Jeremiah 29.11 – is what Schools Superintendent Jacque-line Byrd wished the 11 scholarship winners present Saturday night at the Carver Recreation Center in Bartow. The annual Scholarship Banquet run by the Bartow Deacons and Stew-ards Alliance for 26 years featured the schools superintendent and she en-couraged them with her climb to run a school district with 1,400 employees and 100,000 students.

“You can’t plan for yourself, you have to walk it,” she said.

She encouraged the scholarship win-ners to be true to themselves. Their lives are going to change when they enter college and they must remem-ber why they are there.

“You are the ones who can move for-ward,” she said, advising the students to choose their friends wisely, and stay grounded and remember it’s your family that is behind you.

“Enjoy college, but remember that is going to be over, and then it is all onto you,” she said.

WRITTEN BY S.L. FRISBIENEWS COLUMNIST

It is always surprising and at least a tad distressing when I discover that a topic on which I consider myself well-informed and on which I have developed a strong opinion is more complicated than I had realized.

In other words, that I might be wrong.

Frightening, huh?

Such is the case with last Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling making on-line sales subject to state sales taxes. This ruling overturned one in 1992 that exempted collection of taxes on sales made in states in which the seller has “no physical presence.”

A CPA friend of mine says this is a bad ruling, and may lead to unintended consequences. Since as a kid, he was the best yardman I ever had, I value his opinion.

That said, I have long maintained that on-line sales should be taxed on the same basis as sales made by brick-and-mortar stores, putting on-line retailers in the same position as their community-based competitors.

Granted, saving seven cents on a one-dollar candy bar probably isn’t enough to send purchasers to the in-ternet, but saving $70 on a $1,000 TV set or other electronics is enough to cost local merchants some business.

I have always groaned at consumer advocates who urge shoppers to go take a look at products in brick-and-

Taxing on-line sales makes sense (at least to me) mortar stores to decide which best

meet their needs, then go on-line to make their purchases. Local retailers invest in their stores and staffs to serve their customers, and those things don’t come free. On-line retailers are competitors with the brick-and-mortar stores, and competition is good for consumers, but when the tax laws tilt the system to favor one player over another in the marketplace, that’s unfair. In Florida (and perhaps other states), the “sales and use tax” law requires people making untaxed purchases from another state to send in the tax to the Dept. of Revenue. Businesses making large untaxed purchases sometimes do so, but I have never heard of an individual consumer writing a check to the state for seven cents on that candy bar or even $70 on a laptop computer. According to a CNN story on this is-sue, on-line sales now comprise 9.5 percent of total purchases. The Government Accountability Of-fice estimates that states are losing $13.4 billion in taxes on $453.5 bil-lion in annual on-line sales. (I have seen other estimates as high as $33.9 billion.) CNN quotes a retail analyst as lament-ing: “People will likely start to shop local again.” Gosh, what could happen next? More jobs in the local economy?

Stronger real estate values?

Fewer bankruptcies by brick-and-mortar retailers? Subject to the ability of my yardman-turned-CPA to change my mind, it sounds to me like a risk worth taking.

(S. L. Frisbie is retired. The man who maintains his yard these days is not a CPA, but he does a good job keeping the yard looking nice.)

BARTOW – This year in the public schools system Polk County is try-ing something new. Mandated by the state legislature with a law that takes effect on July 1, a combination program that would have an armed law enforcement type officer in each school.

At last week’s Polk County Tiger Bay meeting, Schools Superintendent Jacqueline Byrd said the program she and Sheriff Grady Judd worked out and passed by the Polk County School Board unanimously has put Polk in the national news.

“This is good for Polk being in the na-tional news, but I don’t necessarily like it,” Byrd said at the meeting. “Because if anything happens, they will be com-ing to Polk.”

Under the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, schools have three choices on how to guard the students and staff at the school. One was to arm members of the staff, another was to hire a law enforcement agency and a third was a guardian program.

Byrd said she did not favor arming the teachers and the question put out by the teacher’s union evoked the same response. The sheriff’s office did not have the personnel to afford more school resource officers, Byrd said. But in the third option, she suggested to Judd that retired police officers could be hired. That idea didn’t totally work, so it was open to more than retired of-ficers. A makeshift guardian program came from it and the personnel would

New safety system a little different in Polkwork for the school district, but be trained by the sheriff’s office.

What would happen under this plan, the high schools and middle schools, which already have an SRO would re-main that way. But the 85 elementary schools which do not have an “offi-cer” on campus would get an armed guardian.

The school district now spends about $2.6 million a year for 45 SROs at a sal-ary of $44,962. They work for the sher-iff’s department. Guardians – school district employees – would make $30,000 a year, and would get 144 hours of training done by the sheriff’s department. They would not have ar-rest powers. The training, which is three weeks, has 80 hours of basic firearms training, 16 hours of precision pistol training, eight hours of defensive tactics and 12 hours of legal issues. The school district would spend $3.72 million in the first year of the program and some of that money is being spent by the state. In subsequent years the cost would be $3.69 million.

Charter schools are under the new law as well but their decisions will be their own and not up to the Polk County School Board.

“We’re going to have to come up with a few million dollars but our kids are worth it,” Byrd told the Tiger Bay full house. “We’ve got to find the money.” Byrd said her line of expertise is in ed-ucation and Judd’s line of expertise is in law enforcement and she said un-der this plan, she believes the safety of the schools and children learning is prioritized.

In making this decision, Byrd said re-

search was done before proceeding. She said this is normal operating for the school district. She pointed out that sometimes she hears decisions are made on a knee-jerk basis and that is not true.

“They are based on facts,” she said.

Using the idea of clear backpacks, Byrd said the staff looked into what oth-er schools were doing and whether or not backpacks should be banned. Seminole and Orange counties have opted to ban backpacks, she said. Polk County schools banned them for the final two weeks of the school year af-ter the shooting in Parkland on Feb. 14 that killed 17, but ultimately decided banning them would not be effective.

“In one place seven weapons were found,” she said. “It didn’t seem like this was a big deterrent. But anyone can be wanded or searched.”

a highlight for years is returning. Local gospel group The Reflections featur-ing Pamela Renew, will be on stage. Also there will be Jay Taylor from Boyette, Fla., Dylan Johnson from Wauchula and new country music art-ist Ayla Lynne will play.

Playing about 100 shows a year and spending a lot of time in Nashville, Mosley, who has a bachelor’s degree in Music Business, said he’s met a lot of songwriters. Steve Dean, a country music star since early 1980s, took him

under his wing.

In fact they wrote a song together, Mosley’s father (and publicist) Michael Mosley said.

“I spent a few hours with Steve. We thought they had something that was going to number one. We recorded it the next week.”

Called, “It wasn’t our Song,” Michael said, and the two will see how it goes with the recent recording.

Also, after the fireworks are done ex-

ploding, people should direct them-selves back to the stage where many of the artists return for a little while. “The lead singers get back on stage after the fireworks show for a jam ses-sion,” Rouse said.

Also filling Mosaic Park that afternoon will be vendors and something for ev-eryone to do.

“There will be plenty of vendors and lots of entertainment and things for children to do,” said Frank Rouse, who has been organizing this party every year since it started. This year, due to

his illness, Renew stepped in to help the show go on.

Rouse said, there will be two bounce houses on the site and more.

Len Rouse, a long-time member of the Bartow Adult Concert Band, said the Fourth of July themed show will have something special going on too. How-ever, he didn’t want to reveal it yet, so go to the show if it has sparked some curiosity.

After getting at least one hit in each of his first six games, he was hitless in his seventh, only to follow it up with a two-hit effort this past Saturday. He’s got a double, home and four runs bat-ted in his first 33 at bats.

Still, the whole thing was a little sur-real.“Normally, you know there’s scouts watching you, or scouts are calling coaches about you,” Allen said. “In the past, when I was in Evansville, I’ve had scouts come and watch me and I’ve always been aware they were coming.

This time, I had no idea. It was not in my mind whatsoever. I knew there were scouts there, but I thought they were there to watch other people.”

Allen’s tenacity – surly tested more than once in the last five years – was just kind of natural, he said. “I’ve been playing baseball since I was four years old. It’s kind of, whenever I think of myself, it’s my identity, it’s what other people have known me as and it’s what I’ve know myself as, you know, a baseball player,” he added.

Allen attended Union Academy, and Bartow High School, played two years of junior college baseball and one sea-

son with the University of West Flori-da before hitting the independent league scene.

Oh, and about those calls. He actual-ly had to make two, because his Mom was out shopping when the news came.

“The first person I called was my Dad. My Dad has basically been my coach ever since I was a little kid so oblivious-ly that was a special moment between me and him,” Allen recalled. “I’ve been waiting my entire life to make that phone call. My mom was the second, she was in Walmart, and had a buggy full of groceries. She started crying so much she just walked out.”
