Born in Bartow Bowling Green Elementary - Kindergarten teacher 2 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Hardee Senior High Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education — South Florida State College Hobbies and Interests: Fishing I became a teacher because I enjoy working with children and being able to help others. I grew up helping raise my sisters so that always triggered me to become a teacher. My most rewarding moment as a teacher is when a student accomplishes a goal or learns something new. It is so rewarding to see little minds growing and becoming successful and independent. Something most people don’t know about me: I am the oldest of 7 sisters, with the last 3 being triplets. My sisters are my best friends and mean the world to me. They are part of the reason I wanted to become a teacher. Shaina Todd

Born in Avon Park Hilltop Elementary - First Grade 29 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Miami Palmetto Sr. High, Miami Bachelor of Arts in Art and Art History with a Minor in Elementary Education from the University of Miami I am married to Dale Wolgast and have four children, Crystal, 37; Tiffany, 35; Mallory, 33; and Emelie,19 Hobbies and Interests: Reading classic literature and poetry, knitting, and playing with my grandchildren I originally became a teacher to further a career in the publishing industry. Through my interest in pursuing a position as an editor in the Children’s Literature Department of Harcourt, I discovered a love of teaching reading. This love of teaching caused me to abandon my dreams of the publishing field and I have never regretted this decision. I love it when a first grader begins the process of reading fluently and comprehending what they read at higher levels. It takes a lot of practice on the part of the student and I love it when they see the results of their hard work, and feel pride in their accomplishments. Ella Wolgast Something most people don’t know about me is I love everything having to do with fiber arts including spinning on drop spindles and spinning wheels, weaving on a floor loom, collecting exotic animal fiber, plant fiber, and using natural dyes.

Born in Jeannette, Pennsylvania North Wauchula Elementary - 3rd grade 3 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Norwin High School, North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania Bachelor of Science, K-6 teaching certification — California University of Pennsylvania I have one child, Giovanni Payne, 15 Hobbies and Interests: Gardening, crafting, going to the beach, going to festivals, watching Netflix, and hanging out with my two flame-point Siamese cats, Orion and Steven I became a teacher because I love working with children. I can remember different times in my life when a child I barely knew took a liking to me for no particular reason. I should have taken those as signs, but it wasn’t until my church was in sudden need of another VBS teacher, when I realized that teaching was what I was supposed to be doing. I really enjoyed that week teaching those sixth-graders, and hoped that I imparted some wisdom and kindness that they could use in the real world. My most rewarding moment as a teacher was when a child I had helped get into speech class, demonstrated what she had learned. Her speech had improved greatly! Mindy Watson Something most people don’t know about me: I was voted Most Bizarre girl in my high school graduating class.

Born in Wauchula Wauchula Elementary - 3rd grade co-teacher of an inclusion classroom 15 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Hardee Senior High Bachelor of Science in primary and elementary education — Florida Southern College I am married to Matt Carlton and have two children, Tanner Carlton, 18 and Claire Carlton, 16 Hobbies and Interests: I enjoy going to the beach, boating, snow skiing, and running. Teaching had always been a life-long dream of mine. I had many teachers that I admired as a young child and I always enjoyed school. I just always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Now that I am in the classroom, seeing the students conquer struggles, and show success from August to May is extremely rewarding. My most rewarding moments as a teacher is to see students get excited about learning new skills and seeing them Kristi Carlton light up when they have been successful in the classroom because of their dedication and hard work.

Born in Massena, New York Zolfo Springs Elementary - 4th Grade REACH 12 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Brasher Falls Central High School, Brasher Falls Bachelors – Psychology & Masters – Elementary Education K-6; Potsdam State College, New York I am married to Rene Gutierrez and have two children, Jayden Gutierrez, 9 and Aaliyah Gutierrez , 2 Hobbies and Interests: Running, reading, spending time with family and my new found interest lifting weights I wanted to become a teacher to make a positive difference in the future of children. For me, it is great, a fulfilling challenge: stimulating the next generation to become lifelong learners. Interacting with kids is great. It’s a lot more fun interacting and learning with kids. I wanted kids to know someone believes in them and their dreams. “True confidence is born of experiencing your hard work and seeing your determination pay off.” My most rewarding moment as a teacher is the moment I realized I truly impacted a student. It was the night of the fifth grade 2016-2017 pageant. My former student was asked. “Who has impacted your life, who is your hero?” Her response was her fourth grade teacher, Ms. Moreau and she included a touching response. This young girl will never know she was the one who truly fulfilled my desire to touch the future. Nicole Moreau Something most people don’t know about me: I wanted to be an art therapist and I love playing soccer.

Born in St. Petersburg Hardee Junior High - ESE-Intellectual Disability/Autism 25 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Hardee Senior High Bachelor’s Degree in Specific Learning Disabilities, Emotionally Handicapped from University of South Florida; Autism Endorsement from St. Petersburg College I am married to Allen Eures and have two children, T.K. Hogenauer, 26 and Kaylee Hogenauer, 18 Hobbies and Interests: Scrapbooking, reading and Disney! Why I Became a Teacher: A desire to work with special needs students. My most rewarding moment as a teacher is when a former student sees me years later and gives me a hug or shares a memory from school.

Born in Atkins, Iowa Hardee Senior High - Honors Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Honors Experimental Science, and Biology Head Track & Field and Head Cross Country Coach 29 years teaching experience I also help with STEM/AZPi and the solar go cart team

High School Diploma — Benton Community High School, in Van Horne, Iowa BS in Animal Ecology at Iowa State University; MA in Education at Viterbo University I am married to Diane and have one child, Brandon, 21 Hobbies and interests: When I am not occupied with teaching and coaching, I like spending time with my family, going to Disney, the beach, or just time outdoors. Why I became a teacher: Scientific literacy is exceptionally important, as science is about finding answers to problems, no matter how big or small. An ignorant society is a dangerous thing, and a scientifically illiterate society is dangerous not just to society, but to the planet. Preparing students for the future is like insurance for a better future. Most rewarding moment(s) as a teacher: We have had some HHS students do very well with science fair, with quite a few kids earning the honor of international science fair. A few years back, HHS took nearly every qualifying spot for state. But there are so many other rewards, be it kids taking challenging college majors in the sciences or just seeing success understanding a challenging topic. Rob Beatty I would say that something most people don’t know about me is being colorblind, but so many of my students know, so I’m always getting “what color does this look to you.” Other than that, I’m an open book. I guess most people don’t know I am a big James Bond fan, and I named my cat after one of my favorite Bond girls.

11:16c 863-773-3322 THE B Herald-Advocate Thursday, November 16, 2017 Dunbar Ends Hardee’s Season

By MICHAEL KELLY Of The Herald-Advocate The Wildcats took a 17-3 lead to the locker room at half- time before Dunbar (Fort Myers) High School domi- nated the second half by scoring 35 unanswered points to beat Hardee 38-17. The Tigers now move on to the second round of the playoffs with a rematch against Immokalee while Hardee’s season comes to a close after winning a district championship and finishing the year with a 7-4 record. The Wildcats forced a quick punt on the Tiger’s opening possession with Randy McLeod sacking quarterback Seneca Milledge for a 14-yard loss. Hardee’s offense took over at its 24-yard line and quickly moved the ball down the field with first down runs of 27 and 17 yards by McLeod. Four plays later, quarterback Kai Washington ran off the right end for a 6-yard touchdown. Leo Duarte nailed the PAT kick and Hardee jumped out to a 7-0 lead with 3:53 to go in the first quarter. Hardee’s defense then forced a turnover on downs after Dunbar tried to convert a fourth-and-2 at the Hardee 40. Marcelin Cimeus ripped off a 37-yard run to start the drive followed by a 24-yard gain by Washington. Three plays later, Washing- ton found Isaac Moreno open at the 6-yard line and he broke a tackle and kept his balance on the way to the end zone. After the Duarte PAT, Hardee led 14-0 with 11:24 left in the second quarter. The two teams traded punts before Dunbar drove down and kicked a 25-yard field goal to make it 14-3 with 4:29 left in the opening half.

The applicant’s authorized representative and mailing North were reported. address is: Kevin Cundiff, Plant Manager, Florikan ESA,LLC, 2404 Commerce Court, Bowling Green, Florida and 33834. Nov. 7, Chad Richardson, 33, of 930 Evergreen Dr., Wauchula, was arrested by Sgt. Todd Souther and charged with Facility Location: Florikan ESA, LLC operates the existing Florikan ESA, LLC facility, which is located in Hardee County at 2404 Commerce Court in Bowling Green, Florida. Project: This project proposes to construction an additional coating process production line with a maximum Notices throughput of 4 tons per hour, and to increase the maximum throughput of the existing production line from 5 to 10 tons per hour. The process is a source of particulate matter and the PM emissions will be controlled by baghouses. This facility is a natural minor source of pollution. Permitting Authority: Applications for air construction permits are subject to review in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapters 62-4, 62-210 and 62-212 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The proposed project is not exempt from air permitting requirements and an air permit is required to perform the proposed work. The Permitting Authority responsible for making a permit determination for this project is the Department of Environmental Protection’s Air and Solid Waste Permitting Section in the Southwest District Office. The Permitting Authority’s physical address is: 13051 North Telecom Parkway, Suite 101, Temple Terrace, Florida 33637-0926. The Permitting Authority’s mailing address is: 13051 North Telecom Parkway, Suite 101, Temple Terrace, Florida 33637-0926. The Permitting Authority’s phone number is 813-470-5700. Project File: A complete project file is available for public inspection during the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except legal holidays), at the physical address indicated above for the Per- mitting Authority. The complete project file includes the Draft Permit, the Technical Evaluation and Preliminary De- termination, the application and information submitted by the applicant (exclusive of confidential records under Section 403.111, F.S.). Interested persons may contact the Permitting Authority’s project engineer for additional information at the address and phone number listed above. In addition, electronic copies of these documents are available on the following web site: https://fldep.dep.state.fl.us/air/emission/apds/default.asp

Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue an air construction permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that operation of proposed equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a Final Permit in accordance with the conditions of the proposed Draft Permit unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or unless public comment received in accordance with this notice results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.

Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the proposed Draft Permit for a period of 14 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice. Written comments must be received by the Per- mitting Authority by close of business (5:00 p.m.) on or before the end of this 14-day period. If written comments received result in a significant change to the Draft Permit, the Permitting Authority shall revise the Draft Permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed will be made available for public inspection.

Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the Public Notice or receipt of a written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, at the time of filing. A petition for administrative hearing must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) with the Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, [email protected], before the deadline. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.

A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C.

Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding. 11:16c 11:16c November 16, 2017, The Herald-Advocate B11 CUTE CHARACTERS SLIME TIME M IS FOR MMM!

HONORING VETERANS

COURTESY PHOTOS MONTAGE BY DARLENE WILLIAMS Wauchula Elementary School students and staff honored their very own veterans on Friday during a special assembly. Veterans with family ties at the school were invited to be recognized. Students read poetry about veterans and read thank-you letters to them. Each veteran was presented with a gift in appreciation of the sacrifices made in service to this country. Patriotic songs were sung, and the Hardee High School Junior ROTC, led by CMSgt. Robert Waltich, conducted a formal flag-folding ceremony.
