'Get the experience of the glue out,' she said with a gentle laugh, as one young student poured glue ojito the paper. Community Child Development Center ready for prekindergarten By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun AVON PARK There are only two Gold Seal prekinder- garten programs in Highlands County. One is the Redlands Christian Migrant Association's program, the other is the Avon Park Community Child Development Center. To become a Gold Seal school a provider has to meet standards which are signifi-, cantly higher than those need- ed for basic certification. For example, they are already eli- gible for the Voluntary Prekindergarten program. At the Community- Child Development Center, the staff use the "High Scope" curricu- lum, which is research based and backed by longitudinal studies. The program relies on activ- ity centers, each of which challenges a student in a dif- ferent way. The center's executive director, Velma Jackson, who has 24 years of early child- hood education experience, explained that children are encouraged to plan their day's activities with their teachers, and to then discuss what they did, and what happened as a result. Puzzles, table toys, art materials are readily at hand, and children are allowed to make their own decisions, within certain parameters. Doors have been taken off their hinges, so students can move freely between rooms and choose the center most interesting to them, There are many activity centers: Music and movement, table toys, science and math, art, language, blocks and housekeeping. The curriculum is intention- ally loose, designed to fit the. child, rather than be forced on him or her. Teachers observe and record the children's progress and behavior on a regular basis. The object, Jackson said, is to notice when a child isn't developing normally and red flag problems early. The richer the detail, the more use- ful the information. Jackson has some concerns about the logistics of the pro- gram, which she thinks is highly needed. If the students in the free program are restricted to a three hour day, she isn't sure how much constructive work can be squeezed into that amount of time. After all, she points out, just moving chil- See READY, page 11A Parents will have to chose By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING The Voluntary Prekindergarten program, which Florida vot- ers mandated in 2002, is scheduled to begin in August.

Mosley Jr. Mosley, the former director. of the SFCC Library and a former Avon Park City Councilman, died March 29 in St. Petersburg at the age of 55. He was remembered by former co-workers and stu- dents alike as a hard worker. "He was a wonderful man and he made an impact on us ail. He had a good nature and a kind spirit," said Michelle Roberts who was the dean of applied sciences during Mosley's tenure at the school. Described by Roberts as "very much an advocate of the resource system," Mosley also was in charge of the library operation when it moved from its former loca- tion in Building A to the media center where it resides to this day. "They had a very small col- lection, like in a classroom," Roberts said. "'And the new facility gave the students a lot more access to the materials." During his time as director of the SFCC Library, Mosley also carried positions in two statewide library committees and was a president of the South Ridge Toastmasters Club. He also sat on a statewide planning council for developmental disabili- ties. .He served on the Avon See MOSLEY, page 11A mer course of "intensive" instruction of 300 hours.

There were m6re people than usual at the morning services in Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Avon Park. "I was there and the church was half full, which is unusual for a daily Mass," Justine Devlin of Avon Park said. While at the services, Devlin said she was struck with the idea that the pontiff was instructing the church even in his death. "God seemed to say to rme 'Don't be sad for this man, praise the Father for giving this great gift to our world.' Because that's how I feel. I feel the pope was a great gift, espe- cially for our time," she said. Usually there is no Mass on Saturday, however this was a Mass for First Saturday which traditionally is observed in the church.

International Association of Fire Fighters Local 3132 President Warren West warned city council members unless they upped the ante and paid firefighters more, many would leave and go in search of green- er pastures. "We'll become a training ground," he said. "We have a lot 'of young guys and they see that they can make a lot more money other places. If we keep aying no to these guys - they're going to leave." On the other side of the coin, lAvon Park Finance Officer Renee Green said it might not be long before the city could no onger afford a fire department. uV HIGHLANDS del Theater still open in mall SEBRING Lakeshore.

In the April 1 edition of the News-Sun, a caption regarding Michael Conner's brain dam- age injuries from seizures was correct. They happened 17 years ago this May. i We apologize for any confu- Sion this may have caused. The issue came to light dur- ing a discussion over suggested changes in the firefighters' pen- sion program. Scott Christensen, who serves as lawyer for the fire- fighter's union's pension board, presented a package that includ- ed both updates and changes that were ordered due to state mandates. He also outlined a plan where both the firefighters and the city would increase their contribu- tion to the pension fund. Christensen also suggested the city increase the benefit multiplier rate from 3 percent to 3.16 percent. "That means instead of 3 per- cent of their average salary, they would get 3.16 percent for each year they worked here before their retirement," he said. "That would be totally funded by thecity." Higher cost If approved, pension board officials said the city would be looking at spending $45,000 more a year. "It would go from $123,000 to $168,000 a year. That's not a one-time thing, that's an annual thing," said Patrick Donelan from the firm of Foster & Foster. "But the members are going to put up $17,000 of that." At the meeting, union repre- sentatives indicated this would be the first time in 18 years that they have asked for an increase. Green disagreed with that assessment. She pointed to fig- ures that showed the city has been increasing the amount it contributes toward the retire- ment fund. "In 1999 the city put in 7.5 percent of their retirement. This year it's 14.2 percent," she said. "And this proposal would bump the city's contribution up to 16.6 percent." Furthermore, Green pointed to a previous change from a regular pension to a local law pension that she maintained was a great benefit to the fire department. "That costs the city about $36,000," she said. Additionally, Green pointed out that the city is responsible for making good any invest- ment loss in the pension fund. "Two years ago we had to pay quite a bit during the Enron and Worldcom situation," she said. "It's part of the pension program. They're going to have their money in there whether they make it or lose it in their investment." That differs from others, who make money when the market increases and loses it when Wall Street takes a dive. "I mean, if you and I have money invested and the market goes down, that's your prob- lem," she, said. Widespread problem *Green said Avon Park is not alone. In fact, there are a num- ber of small cities that are hav- ing problems keeping their fire departments functional due to a lack of funding. "If we get to K where we can- S not afford to s1 fund these pen- GREEN sion plans, we won't be able to have a fire department," she said. Her experience has shown that some communities are reduced to deciding whether to get rid of the fire or police department and turning those duties over to the county. "When you have vehicles, payroll, pensions and all that stuff, it's tough," she said. At least part of that money could come from- the fire assessment. However, Green said although the assessment amount is based on what has been termed "a true 50 per- cent," in reality it really only covers about 35 percent of the fire department budget. That is due in large part to the fact that churches, not for profit and governmental entities do not pay the assessment. Lack of support Moreover, council members bristled about what they per- ceived as a lack of support from the department while they took brickbats from local residents and the clergy during the annu- al discussion over the municipal fire assessment. "When we were here debat- ing the fire assessment, we did- n't have two rows of firefighters here supporting us and that's where their funds are coming from," Councilman George Hall told West. "Oh, we'll be here next time supporting it, I guarantee you that," he responded. Mayor Tom Macklin asked why the pension program was being discussed at the council meeting. "Shouldn't that be a collec- tive bargaining issue?" he asked.

Following training the team will respond to locate, rescue and recover individuals trapped in a fallen struc- ture or buried in a structural collapse. By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING While every- one agrees that computer sci- ence has been more of a boon than a bust for civilization, it has sometimes had unexpected consequences. Community leaders and law makers are wrestling with one now. At issue is the sale of alcohol ov e Pthe Internet. $ LJitil the passage of the 18th amendment, which established Prohibition, the sale of spirits, wine and beer was unregulated. Over the course of decades, suppliers came to control the market, leaving retailers at their -mercy. Following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, a new three tier system was instituted here in Florida. Instead of a free market place, manufacturers sold only to distributors and wholesalers licensed by the state; and they in turn sold only to state licensed retailers. Use of this system prevented the unlawful sale of alcohol through unregulated channels, and forced distributors and retailers to adhere to the law or , risk losing their licenses. r~~ r b - e - .~ - - Available from Commercial News Providers" With the advent of the ma Internet, however, this dynamic full shifted. For the first time since the Prohibition a consumer could ver buy alcohol directly from a ide manufacturer. The technical breakthrough as came just as a wave of micro- ant breweries splashed on scene. Hig For these small manufactur- Dis ers, the Internet is the only log- nut ical avenue for marketing, mak- .wh ing their product availdbfe '''el world wide. h Partly as a result of their ha\ efforts, three bills, SB 480, SB stu 906 and HB 075, are now pend- has ing in Tallahassee which would hav loosen the restrictions on alco- bin hol sales in cyber space.

That's what we sit down and negoti- ate." West said in the past that has not been an item on the bargain-, ing table inasmuch as some firefighters participate in the program while others do not. "We have always left that off to the side," he said. "We want to negotiate other items, like vacation time." Because Florida is a right to work state, there are some fire- fighters who are not in the union but still benefit from the results of the negotiations. The discussion ended when Hall called for council members to bring the matter up as part of the city's annual budget discus- sion. "We're looking at a small part of a big puzzle," he said. "We need to include this in our budgeting process. If this is what they want, we need to plug it in the budget and work back- wards from there."

SINCE 1951 290 U.. 2, Fontge oad.Avn Prk/402168 Fabric News-Sun, Sunday, April 3, 2005 Police reor .'r Highlands County report Lippett charged with cocaine sale SEBRING At 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, an undercover Highlands County sheriff's deputy was driving an unmarked vehicle through the area of Martin Luther King Boulevard (formerly Highlands Avenue) and Lemon Street with undercov- er officers. As they approached the intersection, a man latei- iden- tified as Dexter Cortez Lippett, 40, of Sebring, waved them over. He approached the deputy's door and negotiated a sale of $40 in crack cocaine. The transaction took place within 1,000 feet of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church. Fifteen minutes later, Lippett was arrested and charged with sale of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a church and possession of cocaine with intent to sell.or distrib- ute within 1,000 feet of a church. Bail was set at $15,000. John Bell charged with third offense retail theft SEBRING Police inves- tigated an alleged retail theft at 8:49 a.m. Sunday, March 20, at Advance Auto Parts Store near the Highlands Avenue intersection. . Allegedly, John James Bell, 54, of Lake Placid, entered the store and asked a salesman for a pulley pump. The salesman showed him an Ampro PS Pump Pulley Kit, priced $26.88, but Bell said "that's too much." The salesman turned away from Bell and walked toward the front register, and Bell went to leave the store. . However, he had his left arm tucked underneath his jacket, as if he had something con- cealed beneath it, arrest reports said. The salesman followed Bell outside the store and confronted him. Bell said he didn't have anything and did- n't take-anything, but the salesman asked a fellow employee to see if the pump was still on the shelf. Bell took off running south on U.S. 27. The other employee confirmed that the pump was missing and that Bell was in the area of the shelf when it disappeared. A witness saw Bell running . from the area and toss an object into a white Highlands County recycle container. The pump was recovered from the dumpster. It was pho- tographed and returned to the store. Sebring police found Bell walking near the Coffee Bean restaurant and detained him. Witnesses were brought to the police department and they identified Bell. Bell was arrested on a charge of retail theft and read. his Miranda rights. He then told police he dumped the pump kit in the recycle bin, but said he didn't take it from the store. Bell has been convicted four times of theft, this enhanced his charge to a felony. Bail was set at $1,000. Four face cannabis charges SEBRING Police arrest- ed three adults and one juve- nile at a Sebring home' Tuesday evening on multiple drug charges, arrest reports indicate. All four were charged with possession while the three adults also were written up for possession of parapherna- lia. Members of the Highlands County Sheriff's Office entered the home at approxi- mately 6:30 p.m. for a war- ranted search, according to reports. When all the occupants were secured, Police detained Angela Kathleen Chase, of Sebring, and found about three grams of cannabis in a baggie in her shorts. A short time later, officers arrested house co-owner Paul Chaves Jr., also of Sebring, when he arrived at the house on foot. Chaves told officers that any illegal substances found in the house belonged to him and not Chase. What was located in the rooms were spoons, plastic, five syringes, other utensils and aluminum "smoking boats." In the other bedroom, occupied by co-owner Peggy Sue Dorton, 23, and her juve- nile brother, police investigat- ed and found about 23 grams of field tested cannabis as well as a cut straw with methamphetamine residue. In addition to that, police also discovered, among other things, two more baggies of cannabis in a metal candy box, more cut straws and a smoking pipe. In all, there was 29 grams of cannabis in Dorton's bed- room. Two teens arrested for stealing golf cart in Sebring SEBRING Tuesday morning, police arrested two young men for their part in the theft of a Sun 'N Lake maintenance golf cart. According to arrest reports, Highlands County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Darin Hood found' two Sebring teens joyriding the Club Car down Lakeview Drive around 5:47 a.m. and decided to investigate. The officer then stopped and made contact with the boys around Veteran's Beach and asked them where they got the Caryall 2 XRT utility cart. Both boys stated they got it from a friend. When their sto- ries did not make sense, Hood ran a background check. He then became alerted that one of the boys was on juvenile probation and in violation of the set curfew. That young man was arrested and during a statement, he and the other boy admitted to stealing the cart from the Country Club in the middle of the night. The cart, which was valued at about $6,500, was discov- OBITUARIES ered missing from its original place in a fenced compound. The Country Club said it did intend to prosecute the boys for burglary and grand theft with intent to perma- nently or temporarily deprive the victim of use. Avon Park man attacks house despite Restraining Order AVON PARK -The Avon Park Police Department arrested Andrew Dean West of Avon Park Monday night on four charges, stemming from the assault of a woman he used to live with. Arrest reports indicate a restraining order was already issued against the suspect by the woman, due previous dis- putes between the two. Regardless, the 34-year old man allegedly entered into the woman's house with intent to do harm to her and found her in the kitchen. West then ripped the phone out of the wall to prevent the victim from dialing 911 and Punched her in the head and face, as well as kicking her in the side. West also attacked another man in the house with a chair and chased him outside, pick- ing up a walkway stoiie and claiming he had a gun in the process.

BsinssLiudaios News-Sun, Sunday, April 3, 2005 Fires take homes on Navarre Avenue and Duffer Road City officials sworn in By PHIL ATT1NGER News-Sun SEBRING Back-to-back fires on Easter morning destroyed two homes in Sebring. A fire call at 2:46 a.m. March 27 had fire crews rushing to Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Improvement District to fight a fire at the home of Sase and Homawattie Etwaru, 4618 Navarre Ave. The Highlands County Red Cross Service Center reports that after the house burned, the family lost groceries and cloth- ing. A Disaster Action Team member was able to provide the family with what they needed. Fire crews from West Sebring Volunteer Fire Department were on their way to fight that fire when they got word that Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Fire Department had arrived. Their truck was then diverted at 3 a.m. to 1501 Duffer Road in Golf Hammock, to the home of Joanne A. Foote. A house there was fully involved, and had been burning nearly two hours before it was discovered. Most neighbors were asleep. Fortunately, the resident was not home. Scott. Mann, assistant fire chief, said West Sebring fire- fighters found flames and smoke venting through the roof. "The house was gone," he said. "We kept the fire off the other structures." One nearby house was 40 yards away; another was only 20 yards. It was a hot fire in a concrete block and stucco house. "Nothing inside was salvage- able," Mann said. The Red Cross was able to help the homeowner with food and clothing. Her pet cats also escaped injury. An investigator with the State Fire Marshal's office has not yet determined what caused the blaze. DeSoto City Volunteer Fire Department and Sebring Fire Department offered mutual aid. Sebring crews brought their aerial truck Ladder 1 to help contain the flames. Fire crews left the scene at 6:50 a.m. Sunday. They had the fire out within an hour, but had to make sure it was fully extin- guished, then hold the scene for the fire marshal. Mann estimates, with having to fill his department's tanker twice, and DeSoto having to bring a full tanker, the fire used about 9,500 gallons of water.

Hurricane help available M mNRAC: More conservation for Highlands seniors By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING The start of the 2005 hurricane season is just around the corner and the aid to help repair damage from last year's trifecta of big storms continues to come to the area. The most recent installment comes in the form of aid to sen- ior citizens as part of the Older Americans Act. "They have earmarked a large chunk of funding specifi- cally for the seniors here in Highlands County to make sure that those kinds of repairs take place," disaster assistance pro- gram manager Laurie Murphy said. Specifically, that would be $852,000 out of a $1.6 million pool. Murphy said if there's enough left over, there might. - also be money available to help with such things as reimburse- ments of first deductibles. To be eligible, an applicant must be 60 years of age or older, a resident of Highlands County and must own or live in the house in question. "This is not for renters. It is for a homeowner, or a caregiver who has an elderly person liv- ing with them," she said. "All the funds must be encumbered by Nov. 30 and have to be spent shortly there- after. There's not a lot of leeway in this one," she said. So far, Murphy has identified more than 140 seniors in need of home repairs and more are expected. "I'm coordinating with the Highlands County Housing Department and Highlands Emergency Recovery Operation the HERO group," she said. Murphy has been in the throes of going to visit the sites where aid bhas been requested. Her goal is to get the 'funds to the people in need and not to duplicate efforts. At that time she gets general information on the problem, then double checks with other agencies to determine if they would be addressing the prob- lem. "Sometimes they have some funding that can do some things that I can't do and sometimes I can do things that they can't do," she explained. That requires some joint ses- sions where the group goes over the applications together and find the best way to fix the problems on a case by case basis. The projects will not be first come, first served but rather will be prioritized according to need. "We're addressing the most critical damages to the living structure first," she said. The money is being routed through the West Central Florida Area Agency on Aging. Murphy said the most impor- tant thing is taking the first step. "We're just asking people to call us whether they heed help themselves or if they are aware of somebody else we need to contact," she said. People can either call the NuHope Elder Care number in Highlands County at 382-2134 or can call the Area Agency on Aging's elder helpline toll-free at 1-800-336-2226. input needed on roadways By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING Not only have natural resources advisors asked for more input on long range transportation, they plan to discuss it more regularly at their own meeting. At Wednesday's meeting, the Natural Resources Advisory Commission voted to ask for more environmental input on the county's long range trans- portation plan. They'll also form a subcommittee to address the issue, headed up by NRAC Chairman Curtis DeYoung, Erin McCarta, Mike Sawyer, and Dr. Hilary Swain of Archbold Biological Station. , Wednesday was the first time NRAC had actually seen the transportation future needs map, which includes a western bypass of the entire county. Swain was disappointed that the county didn't involve con- servation in the process in the first place. The arbitrary bypass route on the map runs through many areas the state is trying to acquire for conservation, she said. Once lines get on a map, they don't tend to come off, she said. Bypasses, in her opinion, are "pro-sprawl," opening up areas for development and making land management difficult for adjacent conservation areas. She said limited access high- ways, as this one is proposed to be, encourage development at the "nodes" junctions with other major roadways. DeYoung said the bypass shows a need, but not the actual location of a road. The true path will change .when the Florida Department of Transportation does a planning, design and engineering study. "It must, by need, miss most of the environmentally sensi- tive lands," he said. McCarta asked why the county couldn't have an eastern bypass and leave the western lands alone. There are plans for one, but it's pieced together out of other roads through already developed areas. DeYoung said that it would be longer, especially from run- ning through already developed areas, and wouldn't follow the natural direction of U.S. 27 from southeast to northwest.

Highlands County Habitat for Humanity is thankful for Warden Doug Watson of Hardee Correctional Institution and the strong Prison Partnership Program, which has been instrumental in the forma- tion of building homes to allevi- ate sub-standard housing. Hardee Correctional Institution has been successful in provid- ing the labor to build 18 homes. Thus, housing 18 families in need of decent shelter and alle- viating deplorable living condi- tions. Through Habitat's Prison Partnership Program, eligible offenders have the opportunity to volunteer to work with a local Habitat affiliate. Hardee Correctional Institution is providing the labor of its inmates to help this community by putting up truss- es and raising walls at two Highlands County Habitat for Humanity work sites. Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity gives offenders the opportunity to contribute to the community during their incar- ceration. Through this program offenders can develop academ- ic, cognitive, vocational, deci- sion-making, and interpersonal skills. For one week the inmates will build walls, place trusses, and pour concrete for Habitat houses on Memorial Drive in Sebring. When one inmate was asked how he felt about working out in the hot sun and helping to build a Habitat home, he replied, "I feel good working out here and helping people out." This is his first experience with Habitat. He enjoys laboring for Habitat because, "I know my time is going for 'good use' and the time I am spending out here Sponsorship opportunity opens Special to the News-Sun LAKE PLACID The Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce and Keep Lake Placid Beautiful announce a new sponsorship opportunity. The entities are currently beautifying the area located at South Main Street and U.S. 27. Work is well under way.

Hardee Correctional Institution offers a Work Camp, which is a way for the inmates to provide their services to the community Monday-Friday. The inmates enjoy their time spent as a participant in the Hardee Work Camp because it offers them an opportunity to spend their time in a useful manner. "It's better than being in the 'pound' all day!" said one inmate. Another inmate wished he "did this everyday!" If offered an opportunity to. speak with troubled teens this inmate would tell them to "Take a dif- ferent route; this isn't the place to be. Get an education and try to be successful in life." Officer William Shields, public work squad officer, has been with the Department of Corrections for 10 years. The crew of seven inmates in which Shields was supervising out on Memorial Drive is under mini- mum security and about to go home soon. Shields has worked for six years as a public work squad officer and has never had an incident in which an inmate has tried to escape. He said, "They are just, like anybody else, if they want to work they will and if not, they won't." Hardee Department of Corrections offers inmates an opportunity to learn new skills and gain compassion for others by offering an opportunity to "give back" to their communi- ties. Approximately 9 million men, women and youth in the United States are under correc- tional supervision: 2 million are incarcerated, and 7 million are on probation or parole. An average of 630,000 individuals are released each year and expected to be productive mem- bers of the community. "At Grafton Correctional Facility, I was one of the first offenders to volunteer with Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. Our crew of five began working on numerous projects, including installing heating and electrical systems, hanging drywall, laying cement, and framing. "Through this experience, I learned to be patient with others and work as part of a team. The experience helped me while I was at Grafton and has assisted me with my transition. Upon my release, I applied to join Habitat for Humanity AmeriCorps. I now work with and lead the affiliate's free- world volunteers," said a for- mer Grafton Correctional Facility volunteer in Cleveland. Thus, prior statistics have shown that in regards to "recidi- vism" (falling back into prior criminal habits), offering inmates an opportunity to serve others has a therapeutic compo- nent that actually lowers the risk of future crimes. By offer- ing service to their community they are also aiding themselves in their own recovery process, which begins with self worth. By learning new skills and obtaining a sense of achieve- ment one begins to grow. Eligible offender volunteers work at the Habitat work site under correctional supervision. Others prefabricate housing components or provide support services to the affiliate while working at the correctional facility. Hardee Correctional is teach- ing "life skills" and "encourag- ing" inmates to give back to the communities in a positive man- ner. Shields said, "That's how you learn to do something, hands on." Offenders' participation in the Prison Partnership Program is strictly voluntary. Offenders do not face negative conse- quences for choosing to not vol- unteer; nor do they receive credit or sentence reduction in exchange for volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.

Seventh inning 'stretch' brings to life absent punch Editor's note: The News-Sun has been publishing news about Highlands County since 1927. As a treat for our readers, we have gone through our archives and pulled some stories from previous issues that we will share on future Sunday. Sit back .-." and enjoy this Flash 7 From the Past of . Aug. 8, 1935. fui Seventh inning stretching in the grandstand was stretched into all sorts of punch, rabbits' feet and the like on the diamond Thursday afternoon and before it was over the Hillbillies had climbed out from behind Frostproof and raced off into a lead that was never overcome. The six-tally stretch was enough to beat Frostproof's four counters. It was a weird game in a way - but it found the middle of the Avon Infield getting back to a steady basis again, and the tail end of the batting order packing a punch, while Koneman, moved up from the tail end, crashed the single that scored the two winning runs. The Hillbillies fought an uphill battle all the way and outgamed their Canner compe- tition for the margin to win. Frostproof counted first in the fourth when Pugh smote a three bagger to left and raced home on Gibbs' bunt that drew Ends from the rubber. Nice backing up by McFerrin retrieved Dilley's wild heave in the sixth after Milton was safe on Martin's bobble and Pond had singled to right. Milton tried to score when the peg went into the bush- es, but McFerrin /l. nailed him at the 'c plate. SCI Pugh delivered a two-ply rap, though, to score Pond. Meanwhile a double play had ruined a beau- tiful opportunity in the first, for the Hillbilles, and Young seemed invincible the rest of the way until that fatal seventh. Tulk smote a single to left to open the stretch and then Head crashed through with a double. Then came a trip of errors by Gibbs, Pond and Young, on rollers, as the Hillbillies can- tered home. There was a whiff, Dilley's sacrifice, McClendon's error and Koneman's hit to wind up the rally. Koneman was caught stealing and McFerrin popped. It was enough. Frostproof's two in the eighth on errors by Martin and Dilley and two Infield outs just made the game interesting.

NRAC asks for look at trees on power lines By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun ' SEBRING Trees under or over power lines turned out to be a major problem during last year's hurricane season. To prevent them falling on lines or ripping up underground cables again, citizens have asked local government to enact an ordinance. A proposed ordinance .was sent Wednesday to the Natural Resources Advisory Commission. Members there would like to have the planning and zoning commission to look at making an ordinance, espe- cially since that body sits in judgment over land develop- ment. . A draft of the proposed ordi- nance would prohibit .planting trees directly under or within a falling distance of power lines. It would also protect buried fiber optics and power lines as well as sewer and water mains from spreading root systems. existing trees could tal where they are. Development Services Director Jim Polatty said the safety zone would have to include the natural height of the tree. NRAC members thought the ordinance wasn't detailed enough, and needs to be reviewed by the county attor- ney, Ross Macbeth. Dr. Hilary Swain of Archbold Biological Station would like to include some guidelines on what types of trees people could plant, such as which ones would be likely to survive hurricanes and how close they could grow to power lines. Hank Kowalski, representing the Audubon Society, warned that the county might be "stir- ring a pot" with property rights advocates. Curtis DeYoung, NRAC chairman, pointed out, howev- er, the all citizens' and power company customers end up, paying for power outages News-Sun SEBRING Students from Heartland Christian School have diligently been writing let- ters to the soldiers in Sgt. Leon Thomas' company for quite some time. Recently, Thomas returned home on leave and visited the students at Heartland Christian, but also bearing pictures of the men and women he serves with. Many of the photos showed the Army soldiers signing camel packs or holding up t-shirts from the school, all signs of appreciation for the correspon- dence they are getting from the students. Below is a collection of let- ters that the first-grade class- mates of Thomas' daughter, Briah, have written to the sol- diers. None of the spelling has been corrected.

The first collision occurred a few min- utes before 3 p.m. Elmer Hall, driving a 2002 Chevy van, was heading south on U.S. 27, approaching Vista Drive just south of Tomoka Heights, when Valerie Kline, who was driving a 1992 Nissan truck and had been stopped at the intersection, pulled into his path. Although Hall swerved to his left and the MOSLEY Continued from 1A Park City Council from 1986- 88. "He was very intelligent and very easy 'to work with," said Virginia Henderson who was the Avon Park City Clerk dur- ing Mosley's time on the coun- cil. "He didn't get involved with a lot of the controversy that was going on then. Doris Gentry served as the mayor in Avon Park during the time Mosley was a councilman. "He was a hard worker and made a wonderful contribution to our community," she said. PRIEST Continued from 1A seminarian when. he had the chance to attend a number of Masses conducted by the pope. "At one of them, I was an alter server and I had the privi- lege to meet the pope face to face," he said. Gonzalez described it as an incredible experience. Despite the brevity of the encounter, the Sebring priest said he was filled simply with the power of the pope's presence. "It was a very important time inside lane, he was unable to avoid collid- ing with Kline, striking her on the driver's side of the car. The impact, spun Hall's van counter clockwise, and he came to rest in the paved safety zone. Kline's truck was thrust across the median and northbound traffic on U.S. 27, finally rolling to the east shoulder before stopping. Hall wasn't hurt in the accident, but Kline sustained serious injuries and was transported to Florida Hospital Lake Placid. The second collision occurred just before 5 p.m. at the intersection of Lake June Road and U.S. 27. Elisa l3rown, of Moore Haven and driv- Noting that he was "not as outspoken" as she was on the council, Gentry described his manner as "deliberative." "He was always willing to help in any project we had going on," she said. After his initial stint as a councilman, Mosley made an unsuccessful attempt to run for the mayoral position after Gentry vacated the post to run for Highlands County Commission. In his 1988 campaign, Mosley said then he sought the post to bring stability to the municipal government. A supporter of the city man- ager form of government, in my life," he said. "He blessed me and gave me a Rosary." The Sebring priest agreed with media representations indicating the pope could well be remembered as one of the greatest men to ascend to the papacy. "Really, it's incredible his accomplishments," he said. "In the world that we live to have that moral personality and lead- ership it has been very impor- tant for the whole world not only for Catholics but for everybody." Later, Gonzalez had the opportunity to meet the pope Mosley had largely blamed his fellow council members for the controversy that had surround- ed then-city manager David Heacock. The councilman described his form of leadership as "par- ticipatory," saying despite the fact that leaders would make the ultimate decision, the peo- ple who might be most impact- ed by a decision "should be giv- ing input to the process." Mosley, who had a doctorate in library science from Florida State, later left to pursue a law degree at Stetson University. After earning his law degree, Mosley joined the staff at Stetson University in 1993 as when he visited Mexico City. "Just a few months after he was elected pope he went to Mexico. That was his first trip outside Rome," he said. It was the response of the people that Gonzalez said he remembers as well as anything. "There were millions and millions of people on the streets. It was the beginning of what he did all his life frav- eling to the different countries," he said. In fact, Pope John Paul II has been credited with everything from mending relations between the Catholic Church ing a 2003 Ford Truck, was heading south on the highway, as was Melissa West, who was driving behind her in a 2001 Ford SUV. As they approached the intersection, James Holmes, of Rochester, N.Y., who was driving a four-door 1990 Cadillac and was on Lake June Road stopped at the stop sign, pulled onto the highway, directly into their path.Brown swerved left, but was unable to avoid a collision, impacting Holmes' car on the driver's side, causing major damage to both vehicles. Holmes sustained minor injuries, Brown and West none. Agnes Jumper, of Okeechobee, a passenger in Brown's truck, also sustained minor injuries. an associate director. He was appointed library director in 2001. Stetson Dean Darby Dickerson described Mosley as "extraordinary individual." Just as his counterparts in Sebring he noted the former reference librarian for the Stetson College of. Law Library was "kind, intelligent and dedicated." A memorial service is sched- uled for 1 p.m. Monday at Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Leesburg. Memorial donations may be made to Stetson University College of Law, 1401 61st St. S., Gulfport, FL 33707. and Israel, to the downfall of Communism. It was Pope John Paul II who put into the Western Wall an apology begging God for for- giveness "for the mistakes of the Catholic Church, for the pain that the Catholic Church has brought and for the death and destruction that the Catholic Church has brought on Jews throughout history." Pope John Paul II died 9:37 p.m. (2:37 p.m. EST) in his pri- vate Vatican apartment in Rome. 11A POPE Continued from 1A come in and pray. Virginia Cullity did go to St. James Catholic Church in Lake Placid on Friday where she lit a candle for the pope but she was the only one in the sanctu- ary at the time. Lighting a candle is nothing special for Cullity who does it regularly for family members and for friends who "might need a prayer." Word of the pope's rapidly deteriorating condition con- sumed television newscasts, while the local priests went about the business of tending to their parishes. Most spent Friday making their rounds taking care of the sick and otherwise taking care of church business. Coincidentally, Father Jose Gonzalez said a special Mass for the former St. Catherine's pastor, Father Jose Ruiz who died on April 1, 2003. Gonzalez said that there had not been a large amount of the faithful making their way into the sanctuary to pray for the pope. "Right now, I think everyone is praying at home and watch- ing the news to see what is hap- pening," he said Saturday from his office. There was a Requiem Mass Saturday night at St. Catherine READY Continued from 1A dren from a classroom to a playground is time consuming, and there will only be so much they can do. Additionally, students in the voluntary program may have to be separated from the full time regular students, because the Voluntary Prekindergarten class Catholic Church in memory of the 84-year-old pontiff. St. James Catholic Church has planned a Rosary at 7 p.m. Monday with a Mass to follow at 7:30 p.m. A call was made to the Avon Park church but no one responded. "He's prayed for at every sin- gle Mass," Devlin said. "At the petition part of the Mass, you remember the Holy Father." Not only is the pope remem- bered at each Mass but so are the bishops and archbishops. Devlin said Pope John Paul II had been particularly remem- bered on Saturday due to his "dignity in dying." "He's showing us how to suf- fer," she said prior to the pope's death. "To me, we have lost the word 'sacrifice,' especially here in America. I think he's show- ing us how to do that." Cullity, who has been through the succession of three popes, said she could not remember "anything special" that was done locally before a pope passed away. In her experience, there has not been the race to the church when a pope's death is immi- nent. "I think it's partially because .death is not something we're supposed to worry -about too much," she said. "The accent is not on death, it is on the living." will have to have a different structure to fit within the time restrictions. "The High Scope curriculum is a sound and well balanced program," Jackson said. "It is well done and well written and provides a sound foundation. I believe in what I do. When you don't force children, they can learn anything." There are currently 98 chil- dren attending the center. TIME Continued from 1A - Time while serving as a dele- gate in Paris in 1784. Around the turn of the 20th century, London builder William Willett advocated it Daylight Saving Time to Parliament, but the idea was met with ridicule. Willett died in 1915 without ever seeing an extra minute of daylight. It took a war to change minds. In Great Britain, several Acts of Parliament brought about Daylight Saving Time in 1925. The energy benefits became more clear during World War I. To .increase the. working day, Britaini set its clocks on "Double Summer Time" two hours ahead during the summer and one hour ahead during the winter.' The United States and other European countries followed suit. Congress enacted it on March 19, 1918. Once the war ended, Congress caved into pressure from an unhappy con- stituency and dropped it nation- ally, although a few states and some cities observed it volun- tarily. During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt declared year-round Daylight Saving Time more popularly known as "War Time." From 1945 to 1966, the fed- eral government did not enforce Daylight Saving Time but allowed states and cities to adopt. The result: Some areas used it and some didn't, result- ing in a confusing patchwork of time zones. This confounded bus and railway travelers and threw regularly scheduled tele- vision and radio broadcasts into havoc. Daylight Saving Time drew renewed interest during the energy crisis of the 1970s. On Jan. 4, 1974, President Richard Nixon signed the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act of 1973. For a 15-month, period, clocks were set ahead by one hour. In 1986, Daylight Saving Time became a permanent prac- tice under legislation enacted by Congress. The legislation "Daylight Saving Time in the USA" set a uniform policy - that it begins at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April and ends at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday in October. CHOOSE Continued from 1A ed' from the current Florida School Readiness' Performance Standards for 3-, 4-, and 5-year- olds; which were published in 2002. Each provider, however, is being given latitude in how those standards are met, so it would be wise for parents to familiarize themselves with some of the major educational approaches, the better to match their children to the program best suited to their child's needs aniid. styles of learning. For example there are child centered schools, likefthose in the'Montessori system. or those which are more tightly struc- tured and teacher led. Some schools are organized around a particular faith. The varieties are endless, but, experts agree, some essentials are basic. Every program should be developmentally appropriate. This means providers should encourage hands-on experience and experimentation. For example, through sand and water play, and building with blocks, children learn basic concepts about math and science. Providers should encourage communication between the students and teachers, getting the children to talk about plan- ning a project, or discussing an outcome. Classrooms should be well stocked with a wide variety of art materials, and the children should be given ample opportu- nity to use them. Teachers should be ,able to model behavior for the chil- dren, and help them deal with social conflicts as well as engaging them in conversation. Children need to be given plenty of time and room to wig- gle, skip and run. They need lots of toys and games that help develop fine motor skills, like stringing beads, Playdough and puzzles, and learn how to button their coats and pour liquid without spilling. It is important to find out how a child's progress will be tracked, and what kind of eval- uation system the provider will use. Experts recommend parents .visit a provider and spend time watching the staff and children interact, with the above stan- dards in mind. It also is wise to inquire about the provider's dis- cipline policy, to be sure it is in agreement with the parent's philosophies. At this time a list of providers has not been approved, and won't be ready until the legislature and the Departmentt,of Education finish their work. Some schools which already have 4-year-old programs haven't yet registered as providers because they have questions about the curricula. Heartland Christian, for example, is taking a wait and see position, because it is faith based and is unsure what the state will demand or not allow. Twenty four providers have indicated an interest in joining the program, but it is unclear if all of them will be finally approved. In the meantime, parents are urged to pre-register for Voluntary Prekindergarten. They can find paper application forms at elementary schools and even Wal-Mart. Parents also may register online at www.upkflorida.org. -' -"' ..,FT" v "BOAR Due Dtnggg " Hurricane Damage, HOMEOWNERS we have moved *0 tfWoWi* IE Sur nwSebring LIFE ,' _.

PAGE 13A + SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 2005 TUFFiH IT WITH TUFFLEY Christopher Tuffley Working on the cutting edge I like meat. At least occa- sionally. A good steak or a pork loin, I can get into that. I'd actually go so far as to say I like meat enough to like liver (as long as it's cooked with onions and bacon). What I don't like, however (with apologies to butchers everywhere), is working with !raw meat. I discovered this one mem- orable afternoon years ago, when I was still learning how to cook. Home alone, I brave- ly picked up a slab of calf's liver to plop it into the pan. It slide between my fingers and hung between them, dripping - I didn't want to know what; it was slippery and absolutely disgusting. I've hated touching the stuff since. It makes me feel like Hannibal Leichter. Even a firm, well marbled porterhouse can turn me off. It's got to do with the greasy residue and the smell that gets on your hands. So while I like to eat meat, I don't like to touch it. Which is the reason I was grateful when luck broke my way on this Tuffin' It With Tuffley at Hendrick's Grocery & Meats at 202 E. Main St. in Avon Park. I owe it to my beard.

The store carries a full line of meat and can custom butcher or trim. Specialty meat products, like ox tails and cows feet, are fresh and shipped frozen. These smoked turkey neck parts are used to flavor beans or greens. Boning knives are kept razor sharp. By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun AVON PARK Sadly meat cutting is a trade in the twilight. Breakthroughs in technolo- gies and transportation have led to a centralized system where cows are broken down into component parts and shipped in large cardboard boxes. All a meat cutter does. any more is slice off steaks or chops; the main focus is now on presentation and marketing. Darrell Cobb, who manages the meat section at Hendrick's Grocery & Meats, regrets the passing of an era, and is glad he was a part of the old school. As a trainee at Winn Dixie years ago, he was taught how to break down a cow (cutting it into quarters ) just as the food chain was deciding to switch to the pre-cut system. Meat cutting is learned on the job Cobb explained, so people coming into the field today are at a disadvantage when so little real meat cutting is done. As the last generation of custom cut- ters retires out of the profes- sion, there won't be anyone left with the knowledge to pass on. Nowadays, Cobb said, chain grocery stores are looking to pay minimum wage for people to take large boxes of meat and repackage them into smaller portions. In some supermarkets, like the one at Wal-Mart, he said, even that has been done at a central location so the meat arrives already repackaged. Which means, he added. that it's already two to three days- old by the time it arri.es it the CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun John Walton, who has been a meat cutter for more than 30 years, packages pieces of frozen smoked turkey necks he has just cut on a band saw. Darrell Cobb (standing in back) wraps the trays, then weighs and prices them. The computerized scale is programmed to account for the weight of the plastic tray and wrap. store. At Hendrick's they do things the old fashioned way as much as possible. Meat is custom cut, and Cobb and his staff can han- dle any request. In fact, Cobb butchers domestic hogs, and a lot of game brought in by hunters as well. It's appropriate that Cobb should be a throw back to another era, because Hendrick's Grocery & Meats is a throw back as well. The store was born as a Texaco service station back in the 1920s. It became Phillips Grocery Store years later, and Bob and Lillian Hendricks, bought it in January of 1984. At the time Hendricks was quoted in the Avon Park Sun as saying, "I think in a couple of years that I would like to bring in more meats and produce." The Hendricks, with their son Bobby, have been doing that ever since. In fact, Hendrick's has become the kind of place where a person can buy a hunting license, a can of baked beans, and a pair of socks. As well as have a deer dressed. It's a true general store. Hendrick's Grocery & Meats is at 202 E. Main St. It is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. The telephone number is 453- 3058. eorth Sebring 6105 U.S. 27 N. / South Sebring 3863 U.S. 27 S.

Adam Ray and his partner, Clark Abbott, recently opened Wild Artist Jewelry to show off Abbott's workmanship in handmade jewelry. Abbot has wrapped stones and fossilized shark teeth in precious metals, and used coral, pearls, emeralds, and Swarovski crystals in jewelry designs. Wild Artist is set up as an intimate art gallery and is at 125 North Ridgewood Drive, just one block off the downtown Sebring Circle. Abbott has used unique design and color for dra- matic effect of displays. Turkish brown, poker face, spiced orange and flaming sword are the four colors on the walls, which accentuate their art offerings. Ray expresses his Wild Artist creative side in music, not only with an album in Hebrew, but by producing Spanish and gospel music. He is the music director for Unity of Sebring. At Wild Artist, Ray and Abbott have concentrated on a high turnover mix of classy looking yet inexpensive, deco- rative items they've culled from their frequent buying trips so there's always something new on display to delight the senses. In the African section, there are masks and drums (a hit with the local drumming communi- ty), unusual items like arthro- pod and trilobite fossils, and cactus rain sticks that sound like a pouring rainfall when upturned. The "living art" of a Siamese Beta Fish swimming amidst a water plant in a clear vase would make a great gift for a desk. Ponchos, sarongs, silk scarves and fabrics start at $20. There's cypress clocks, water- colors, Mexican masks, some furniture pieces, tables, lamps, large-scale leather animals from India, and stylish plaster SUE ANN CARPENTER/News-Sun Shirley and Jack Draper of Frostproof place their order at the Blimpie counter in Wal-Mart in Sebring. Blimpie makes good first impression at Wal-Mart By SUE ANN CARPENTER News-Sun correspondent SEBRING It's important that the first impression be inviting. The newly opened Blimpie is within Wal- Mart, 3525 U.S. 27 North, 4vhere manager Wanda, Smith brings her recent expertise from owner Gary Mullings' other store in Lakeland. However, her experience in the food and bever- age business covers more than 30 years, ranging from fine dining to a Key West resort. "I want the first impression to be one of clean- liness," Smith said, "and we're adding more plants to create a homey atmosphere." Blimpie is open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, except for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. with sandwiches and salads available all day. Their snack shack offers cotton candy, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs and pretzels. And there's a nice selection of car- EDGE Continued from 13A meat because of facial hair; I had to stand outside the cutting area and couldn't participate. What a swell rule. And I am pleased to report that the peo- ple at Hendrick's think so too. Of course there was a draw- back having to stand back I couldn't experience the job. Although this too may have been a blessing in disguise. They use a large and danger- ous band saw. How big and dangerous? John Walton, who cuts meat at Hendrick's, gestured at it with his boning knife at one point and said, "It's got no conscience. It'll whack off a finger or a hand before you even know it's gone." The blade is vertical and in the open. I was glad to be nowhere near it. It's used to cut up fresh frozen body parts, like tails, necks and feet, into smaller pieces that are used to flavor soup or vegetables. As you feed the whole neck or tail into the saw, it gets smaller and smaller of course, so by the end your fingers are dangerously close to the blade. And remember that the cutting isn't done at a leisurely pace, it's rip, rip, rip, and zip, zip, zip, with the saw cutting through frozen bone as easily as a warm knife slices Spumoni ice cream. In fact, I couldn't get a photo of the saw in use because Walton's hands were moving so fast they were always blurry.

If I had been allowed to work, I would have either been cutting, or on the other side where I would have wrapped, weighed and priced the portions. Darrell Cobb, who manages the meat department, taught me several things I didn't know. For instance, cattle have to be taken off grass for 90 days, and heavy fed before they are slaughtered. This is so they 'on"t have an unpleasant flavor, anxd will have filled out. He explained that the cost of shipping the special feed into Florida is prohibitively expen- sive. So Florida beef are sold at auctions here, then shipped to Nebraska where they are heavy fed for 90 days, then slaughtered, and sent back. More and more now, meat is sent already broken down into component cuts, so all most meat cutters do is slice. Presentation and sales are now the focus of the occupation, and both Cobb and Walton regret it. Fortunately, the old world lives on at Hendrick's Grocery & Meat.

Born Dec. 3, 1963, in Philadelphia, she was the oldest of Robert and Mary Schindler's three children. She was a shy, private, tender-hearted girl and, until the age of 18, very overweight. Under the supervision of a physician, Terri lost 100 pounds and, not long after, fell in love with a student she met at the community college her future husband, Michael Schiavo. Two years after their .marriage in November 1984, they moved to Florida. They got jobs he managed restaurants, she worked in the office of the Prudential Insurance Company. Her parents followed and some- times helped them with expenses. And Terri lost more weight trimming her figure to 110 pounds. Three years later, unable to get pregnant, Terri became a patient at a fertility clinic. She also developed an eat- ing disorder. On Feb. 25, 1990, she had a heart attack due to lack of potassium, a consequence of her bulimia. It took several,minutes for paramedics to arrive long enough for her brain to be permanently damaged for lack of oxygen. For a time Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers worked together to give her the best of care. From 1990 through 1994, after a 2 1/2-month hospital stay, Terri was cared for at four nursing homes. She spent a month of that time, at home with the Schindlers before they decided that car- ing for her was too strenuous, and she was taken back to a nursing facility. In the fall of 1990, the same year Michael Schiavo was legally appointed her guardian without objection by the Schindlers, he took her to California, where she had a thalamic stimulator implant- ed in her brain in the hopes it would aid her recovery. Throughout this time, 'Sometimes as court records show, Terri received extensive good law is not physical, occupational and rehabilitative thera- enough, good py.

Then, Michael and his in- laws had a falling out DR. JAY WOLFSON over his decision not to share it with them. That year, the Schindlers petitioned the court to remove Michael as Terri's legal guardian. That simple action, in 1993, launched what would become the most litigated right-to-die case in history. In ended 12 years later, one day before Terri's death, when the llth U.S. Circuit Court rejected the Schindlers' appeal. Through many days in court, the Schinidlers have said Terri would have wanted to live on in her condition; Michael Schiavo said she once told him she would not have. Eventually, judges decided that Michael spoke for Terri's wishes and the law was on his side. Now, if dying was Terri's wish, she has gotten it. Terri's tragic story spurred one positive outcome a passionate interest in living wills and end-of-life direc- tives. Perhaps more people will see the need to make their end-of-life wishes known, in writing, and spare their families the grief and animosity that has developed among Terri's loved ones. Undoubtedly, though, her true legacy will be decided in years to come as Dr. Jay Wolfson, one of her guardian ad litems, expressed eloquently in "A Report to Governor Jeb Bush and the 6th Judicial Circuit in the Matter of Theresa Marie Schiavo," dated Dec. 1, 2003. "Sometimes good law is not enough, good medicine is not enough, and all too often, good intentions do not suf- fice. Sometimes the answer is in the process, not the pre- sumed outcome. We must be left with hope that the right thing will be done well. "We are, each of us, standing in Theresa Marie Schiavo's shoes. Each of us is profoundly affected by the decisions that have and will be made in this case. Advocates of privacy rights and death with dignity, and advocates of right to life and rights of the disabled pro- vide the compelling definitional parameters of this mat- ter." Two days after Terri Schiavo's death, those words are prophetic. Terri, it could be said, now belongs to the ages. As Wolfson said, the right to life and right to die advocates defined Terri's life while she lived it. Now, in death, Terri will undoubtedly become a symbol and a ral- lying cry for both sides, these polar opposites. Undoubtedly, the debate will continue but hopefully it will lead to a meeting of the minds among people of this nation on when it is OK and not OK to end a per- son's life. The door for that is wide open.

In fact, they dis- Esther Pembroke tort the facts; they deceive Sebring themselves and supporters by demonizing anyone who accepts seven years of Due Process and 21 court decisions. Again, the law is what the moral majority says it is: "Letting Terri Schiavo die is akin to murder." News flash! Terri died seven years ago! According to the U.S. Supreme Court, a person with no brain is dead. Terri's brain has liquefied; x-rays show empty space. Question: When the brain is gone, does soul remain? In this country, thousands of family members have been allowed to die with dignity. With machines gone, all bodily functions cease. This is the reason for living wills and durable powers of attorney. Even then, family members can contest them. Wills must be updated continu- ally because state legislatures "revise" the law. However, the Schindlers state they would not accept Living Wills. They want to keep Terri "alive" as long as possible. This is sad and tragic. In 1950, Pope Pius X11 wrote an encyclical, stating-.it was morally wrong to-. use extraordinary means to prolong life.

DOCTOROW, writer, 1985 LAURA'S LOOK Laura Ware Spring cleaning, what's that? What do you think of when you hear the words, "spring cleaning?" If you are a normal person, you probably think of furniture polish, vacuum cleaners, beat- ing rugs, and making a house the cleanest it will be all year. Me, I am not a normal per- son. So I think, "clean Spring? I didn't know it was dirty!" I'm not, saying I am the world's worst housekeeper, but the only way you'd see my home in Better Homes and Gardens is if they ran an article on what not to do. Let's just say that a compulsively clean per- son would take one look at my house and refuse to come back without a Hazmat suit. Take my office, for example. You would think that a room where I work and spend a lot of time would have some organi- zation to it. It does, in a certain slovenly manner. But there are some things that hamper my feeble attempts to make order from chaos. For one thing, let's discuss my computer keyboard. Any- keyboard that lands on my desk is in for a hard life. For one thing, with the exception of my laptop keyboard, I am forever wearing some of the lettering off a couple of the keys. On the current one, if you don't know your keyboard, you would have trouble discerning the "e," "s," "a," and "n" keys. One reason for this is that I do eat and drink while I work on the computer. I know, there are those who will lecture me on the dangers of such behav- ior. Sometimes it's down to either I eat at the computer or I ddci'reat. Sometimes it's a mat- ter of stoking my brain a - reason I drink coffee Wilr d at the computer. Of course, this presents cer- tain dangers. Part of this can be blamed on our dog, Perky, who has never met a food or drink he didn't like. (This includes frozen broccoli, but we'll dis- cuss that another time). Once, when I carelessly left my desk unsupervised, Perky decided to sample my coffee. Unfortunately, since he isn't built to drink out of a mug, some of the coffee splashed over the desk and the keyboard. That keyboard sported coffee stains until I retired it. A friend of mine actually cleaned out her keyboard once. She found petrified cereal in there. This is a scary thing to contemplate. Another complication on keeping my office neat is the exercise bike. Don and I, in a burst of wanting to get fit, bought an exercise bike. It sat in its box for months while we debated an important issue: where would we set up the bicycle? After much debate, the bike was given shelter in my office. It sits in the middle of it, in front of a spare computer mon- itor and accuses me for not get- ting on it enough. I know I should, but I manage to mostly ignore it since when I'm on my computer my back is to it. But it does make it hard to get any organization done while it sits there. Arguably, my attitude about housekeeping is a factor. My attitude is there is too much other stuff to do to take time to engage in spring cleaning. Summer, winter, or fall clean- ing either for that matter. I do try. Dishes do get washed. Laundry gets done before it gets bigger than me. You can actually walk through entire rooms without worrying about stepping on something. But if I were to sum up my housekeeping motto in one sen- tence, it would probably be something like this: "A clean house is a sign of a broken computer."

There is no higher calling of public officials or deeper justification for the rule of law than to value and defend '0" human life. And with respect to the law, death is differ- OP ent. This principle is rooted in our criminal LLOYD treatment of those who have been or may be sentenced to capital punish- ment These principles together should convince us that when in doubt, government should always error on the side of pro- tecting life. Despite what our courts ruled and what the media would have us believe, there is so much doubt surrounding Terri Schiavo's tragedy. The reason why she has gained so much attention where other similarly injured individuals have not is because of the shroud of doubt around her wishes, her hus- band's motives, her true medical condition, and in motives of our branches of government and mainstream media. First, to her wishes. If she- truly wanted to go without suste- nance in this situation, the debate is moot. Her husband and a friend insisted in court that death is what she would have wanted. The timing of these averments is suspect in its own right; how- ever, of greater concern is that all of her biological and spiritual family believes she would have fiercely defended her life. Whom to believe? INION D JONES We should believe whoever is most cred- ible. Michael Schiavo, when it was legally expedient to gain a malpractice settle- ment, did not testify that she would want to die. After all, a woman in Terri's condition makes a much more sympathetic plaintiff than a husband who starved his wife to death. Why testify to the fact that her life will be sub- sequently "mercifully ended" when pain and suffering dam- ages are being calculated? Also to that end, it became much more convenient for Michael Schiavo to "let Terri die in peace" only when he had start- ed a relationship with another woman, and had new children by that woman. It was only then, years after Terri fell ill, that he remembered her desire to die - and initiated legal action to enforce it. There are many more questions surrounding his char- acter, too numerous to recount here. None such doubts surround the motives of Terri Schiavo's family. There is still more doubt about Terri's actual condition. The media has laboriously per- petuated the notion that Terri is in a "persistent vegetative state," because the trial courts said so. These are the same courts that trusted Michael Schiavo's. word. Here, they are trusting the word of his doctors. Terri laughs, cries and talks. Her body performs every funda- mental function except eat and drink. She is not on a respirator r 'Copyrigihted Material, [,, SydicatedContent Available fr om Commercial News Providers IV| or any other devices that regu- lates her fundamental processes. She lives a life very different from you and I, but not no less valuable. Unlike her family, Terri's husband has not been buoyed by these signs of life. He has not permitted her to rehabil- itation for her condition for over a decade. America does not understand her condition, either. The polls would have you believe that the majority of Americans want her to die. These represent some of the most biased polls of recent history. For instance, ABC News prepped respondents by declar- ing that her condition was "irre- versible" and that she was "on life support." The first is highly contested, and the second is a. flat-out lie. Perhaps Dan Rather has signed on at ae new network. Amidst these billowing clouds of doubt, what firm law has the judiciary applied? The legal pre- sumption is that her husband, as her legal caretaker, would have to prove by "clear and convinc- ing" evidence that he was carry- ing out her wishes. This is where our law failed its purpose and its people. The law is fine as it is and that is the problem.

By no measure was the evidence clear and con- vincing that Terri desired death. The only higher stan- dard of evidence our law employs is the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard used in crimi- nal cases. That is, juries may not convict a man of murder unless there is no doubt in their mind that he is guilty. Terri was essentially sentenced to death $5 under a much lower standard; and more chilling, the standard applied to her was abused. Given the great doubt permeating the case, how did our courts fail to treat death differ- ently? This is why Congress acted as it did. Let us be clear: Congress did not act unconstitutionally. The Constitution empowers Congress, not the courts, to establish and amend a jurisdic- tional system for the federal court system. Furthermore, Congress cor- rectly used habeas corpus ration- ale to justify its action. Habeas is used to ensure that the criminal- ly accused can be brought before another court when jurisdiction or due process has been abused. It's a mechanism by which feder- al courts can review on the facts of the case an abuse of judicial discretion, where the states otherwise would have sole discretion. Sound familiar? Herein lays yet another dis- turbing twist in Terri's case. Congress directed the federal court to review her case de novo, meaning that no deference was required to lower decisions. The court was to hear the case anew. It did not. Just a day before Terri's death, a federal court issued a statement that talked only of sep- aration of powers, not of life sus- taining treatment. To Terri, the court gaye Marbury v. Madison where it should have instead measured the merits. The judiciary used Terri as a grinding stone for its axe, which it then used to chop away at leg- islative authority to protect jus- tice. Not all of our government shirked its responsibility to pro- tect life. Mel Martinez gave new mean- ing to the term "constituent serv- ice" by valiantly fighting for Terri's life. The weight of Congress would have gained no inertia without his efforts. Governor Bush did all he could to save her life. By contrast, our state senator J.D. Alexander refused to save her life. While her life may have been treated as cheap, there should be a steep political price to pay. The tragedy of Terri Schiavo's death reveals what happens when the law ceases to serve the people, and we instead become subservient to it. Her life meant nothing to the courts. ,Let us now determine what her death will mean to our society. Lloyd Jones is a Sebring resi- dent and a contributing colum- nist of the News-Sun.

The Streaks led 1-0 in the third when Courtney Dixon's single to left started a string of six straight walks and one hit batter that led to six runs for Sebring.

High School Baseball Devils stay up late to beat Mulberry BY CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer AVON PARK Winning ballclubs put it together when it counts. The Avon Park Red Devils have excelled at doing just that, and came up with their second consecutive one-run vic- tory in District 10-3A play Friday night, holding on to beat Mulberry 6-5. "I said all along I really like this ball- team," Avon Park head coach Mort Jackson said. "They've got heart, they've got grit, they're just a good group of ballplayers. They're fun to be around." Right-hander Michael Diaz (1-0) made his first start and only his third appearance on the mound, but hung tough, and despite allowing five runs on 12 hits, went 6 2/3 innings to earn the win for Avon Park (8- 7, 4-1 in the district). "I told Coach (Seth) Lambert, my pitching coach, before the season that we had a kid come up from basketball who was going to be a special pitcher for us," Jackson said. "I had seen him all summer. .High School Baseball Streaks stumble vs. Rays BY JOHN RITTER News-Sun SEBRING Sebring jumped on Lemon Bay starter Casey Hanrahan for a run in the top of the first inning but failed to score again during what was the Blue Streaks' first district loss of the season Friday night, falling victim to the Manta Rays' small ball, 3- 1, at Firemen's Field. Charlie Peck delivered that Lemon Bay only run with a 3 single to right, scoring Chaz r Abeln before Sebring three unan- swered runs by Lemon Bay. The Streaks, who at one point won six of seven, have now dropped four of their last six and find them- selves in a tie for first place in the district with the also 3-1 Manta Rays. "Some of us have got to just step up," Sebring coach Hoppy Rewis said. "We've got some young kids and either you're getting better or you're sitting still and now we're sitting still. Satchel Paige used to say 'If you're sitting still, by God, Coach Lambert had never seen him. He believes now." "He mixed his offspeed up real well with his fastball," Mulberry head coach Frank Yurchak observed. "He located the ball real well and he put it in good spots." Diaz was only taken down after a mis- play of Mulberry No. 9 batter Phelan Avon Park Gallegas' hit to right allowed a run to score and 6 cut the Avon Park lead to one in the seventh. Mulberry Robert Lewis came on 5 with runners on first and third to face Josh Thornton, who had been 3-for-4, and forced a fly ball that right fielder Lee Albritton tracked down for the final out. "He atoned for it; as long as he got that one," Jackson said. "That was the one that mattered." A insurance run scored by Diaz on a Mulberry (8-6, 2-3) error in the bottom of the sixth proved significant as well, and, in spite of a 3-for-4 night from Johnny Sedlock, was the first Red Devil run since the third inning. "When we hit, we get them when we need them," Jackson said. "There are nights when we just don't hit. We either hit and we get them when we need them, or we don't hit at all, and that's kind of the way the team's been." The Panthers were nearly the opposite, and in the third inning loaded the bases with nobody out but never scored a run as Diaz struck out three straight. "He's just a tough kid," Jackson said of his pitcher. "Nothing rattles him, he does- n't get upset. He knows what he wants to accomplish." "I just go out there and don't even worry about anything else that's going on around, just try to throw strikes, and try not to throw balls," said Diaz, who admit- ted he surprised even himself with his per- formance. His counterpart, Mulberry starter See DEVILS, Page 3B SCOTT DRESSEUNews-Sun Jared Tetrault reaches for the plate as he slides behind Sebring catcher J.C. Shoop to score a run for Lemon Bay Friday night. somebody passes you.'" The visitors also stole seven bases to make up for only one extra-base hit, a Justin Robinson triple in the second inning to set up their first run of the game, and plated their three scores on an opposite field single, a sacrifice fly and a delayed steal of home. "It's just they made us look silly on a couple of plays and scored a heck of a lot more runs than we did," Rewis added. "But we're not getting the hit when we want it. We hit 11 fly balls that were cans of Golf Winners weather conditions for 54 in United Way Classic By SCOTT DRESSEL Sports Editor AVON PARK The decision to give each golfer tak- ing part in the United Way Golf Classic at River Greens on Saturday a combination club umbrella and ball retriev- er turned out to be tremendous foresight when the 28 four-person teams took to the course in a wind-driven rain. The weather dried up midway through the front nine, although the wind remained throughout the round. That didn't stop the winning team from shooting a sparkling 18-under 54, however. The foursome of Stan Schoonover, Kerry Thompson, Mike Rider and Dick Taylor carded 14 birdies,.two eagles and a pair of pars for their winning score, which was one stroke better than the team of Paul McCormac, Jim Anderson, Russ Rudd and Terry Dray. Long-drive contest winner Ryan Gault, joined Brian Bone, Peter Coughlin and Charlie Little to take third in the championship flight with 16-under. The first flight was even closer, as a match of cards was needed to decide the winner at 13-under. The team of Dennis Dunn, Travis Dunn, Bev Dunn and Jennifer. Martin won the flight by virtue of an eagle on No. 9, the corn. I mean, you hit 11 rou- tine fly balls, you're not going to win many games." Ryan Williams went 3-for-4 with a double while Kiko Vazquez reached all four times he came to the plate, going 2- for-2 with two more walks to lead the Streaks offensively. The combination of Vazquez and Abeln on the hill was enough to hold Lemon Bay to only four hits and two earned runs, but the dearly needed run support was absent. Vazquez, Sebring's starter, allowed two runs, striking out five in three innings of work., "We (look at Kiko's night) every time and see that he only gave up one run, two runs. If you give up two hits or two runs on a pop up that should've been caught and stuff like that, it's tough." Abeln, a sophomore reliev- er, allowed one earned run and inherited a 1-1 game with the bases loaded and no outs in the fourth. Despite allowing a punch single to right to give the visitors the lead, 2-1, Abeln See STREAKS, Page 3B SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun The foursome of (from left) Dick Taylor, Mike Rider, Kerry Thompson and Stan Shoonover won Saturday's United Way Golf Classic at River Greens with a 54. top handicap hole on the course, over the team of Warren Herenden, Vince Stoddard, Cliff Steele and Ron Smith. Third place in the first flight went to a three-man team of physicians as Dr. Kye Pahk, Dr. Ramon Torres and Dr. Ron Fronda shot an 11-under 61 despite being a man down.

College Softball Lady Panthers upset another state power By SCOTT DRESSEL Sports Editor AVON PARK They might not be giants, but the Lady Panthers are sure turning into giant killers. Last weekend,,it was confer- ence-leading Hillsborough, ranked third in the state and 18th in the nation, th.r left the South Florida Community College campus with a black eye after being swept in a dou- bleheader. Thursday, it was state No. 2 Seminole that the Lady Panthers knocked down a peg with another sweep. "Anybody that's in the (state) top 10, we seem to beat," SFCC head coach Carlos Falla said. "We have a tenden- cy to knock off the big guys." As usual, pitcher Christina Morrow led the way for the Panthers, pitching back-to- back shutouts. Morrow had to pitch her way out of several jams for a 1-0 win in the first game. Morrow got some more good defensive support in the second game in addition to help from an improved offense with 2- for-3 performances from Courtney Wallace and Cassandra Green to pace a See UPSET, Page 3B Golf Champs reclaim title in Myrtice Durrance BY CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer SEBRING The winners were familiar, but the setting was new for the Myrtice Durrance Memorial on Saturday. Instead of its traditional home at Placid Lakes, currently undergoing improvements, the tournament shifted to The Country Club of Sebring on Saturday, and former champions Mike Starr, Mike Chapman, Ron Chapman and Hary Gregor came away with the low gross of 54. "We started a little bit slow, but not bad," Mike Chapman said, having started the tour- nament in rain and finished under clear skies. "We actually started on some easy holes, so we got birdies. If we'd have started on the tough holes in the rain like that we might have had a problem, but we started on the easy ones and got birdies."

Bass made their way to Japan in the 1920s when a Japanese busi- nessman imported 400 of them from California and put them in Lake Ashinoko near Tokyo. Other fishermen, enthralled with the largemouth bass' fierce fighting ability, intro- duced the fish into other lakes and ponds in that country. They say a few even found their way into the moat sur- rounding the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Bass fishing has never fit very well with the stodgy upper crust of society in Japan. A high-ranking director of fish- eries says that bass anglers are bad-mannered and disrespect the law. His denunciation comes a little late when you consider that there are more than 3 million bass anglers in Japan. Last year, Shinichi Fukae came to America and won the DEVILS Continued from 1B Alberto Resendez (1-1), lasted only three batters before being removed for Paul Chadwick, usually the Panther closer. "He actually got hit by a baseball on Tuesday," Yurchak said of Resendez.

Continued from 1B - escaped the jam as he has so many times in the past, popping up a batter and striking out the final two. "He's got more pitches than the rest of them," Rewis said of Abeln's ability under pressure. "He's got his curve and he can throw it for a strike and he's got his knuckleball and fastball he can throw for a strike. When you can do that it makes a big difference. Some of the others, they've only got one pitch" respond well." Mulberry also had trouble with its bus, which delayed the start of the game by 90 minutes. The late finish, near 11 p.m., merely brought Avon Park clos- er to a rematch with Hardee, which held the without a hit and gave them their only district loss March 11. "That's what we keep harp- ing, the district games are the ones we have to win, and we've got a huge one coming up Tuesday night against Hardee in Hardee," Jackson said. Abeln encountered the same type of situation in the very next inning when Ashton Boyer reached with on a two-base error and was followed by an Alex Walker walk before both moved up a base on a double steal. Then, with runners on second and third, the Manta Rays caught Sebring off guard with a successful delayed steal of home to go up 3-1. Sebring attempted rallies in the fifth and seventh innings, when Williams and Vazquez reached base each time, but the pair were left stranded, part of nine runners left on base. Wal-Mart/FLW Tour's Land O'Lakes Angler of the Year title. A few months later, Takahiro Omori won the Bassmaster Classic, which just added fuel to the fire. Now, a new law will go into effect in i OUTDOORS Lloyd Jones Japan that is designed to protect native species. Environmental groups in that country included the largemouth bass on a list of non-native species. Under the new law, any bass caught will have to be killed. Though Japanese anglers have come to love the large- mouth bass, they have been declared unwelcome and could soon be eradicated. There's not much we can do about Japan's fish problems so we should forget about them and get on with our upcoming bass tourna- ment on Lake June, where the Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce is hosting its eighth annual bass tourna- ment next Sunday, April 10. Entries are limited to the first 50 boats registered, so get on down to either Lake Placid Marine or Central Florida Yamaha in lake Placid for an entry form. This is a team tournament 'which means a two-person team in each boat. Entry fee is $60 per boat and an additional $20 will enter the team in the largest bass of the day contest. Competition will start at safe light and weigh-in will be held in Lake June Park at 2:30 p.m. Possession will be Senior Softball Amvets gets past Reflections, 21-19 Special to the News-Sun SEBRING Amvets slipped past Reflections 21-19 in Thursday's Highlands County Senior Softball League games at Max Long Recreational Complex. Gary Luciano had four hits, while Gary Guatrana, Tom Gaiownik and Bob McKinney had three hits each and Ken Stanek was the win- ning pitcher for Amvets. Four Amvets players hit home runs: Jim Louzon, Gary Luciano, Tom McNally and Guatrana.

On Tuesday, Highlands Ridge beat Amvets 29- 23 by getting six hits from Rod Cooper, five from Jim Morgan, four from Joe Healey and three, including a homer, from Doug Ebeling.

We have our moments when we can do a lot of things right and then we have moments where we don't know who we are." One of the things Falla said SFCC (12-16) needs to get bet- ter at is playing on the road, since a majority of this season's wins have come at the friendly confines of Panther Field. "We don't play away well, but we play well at home," he said. "We've got to work on that, too." The lone run in the first game came.in the fourth inning when Ashley Congdon singled and scored from third when Kortney Stivender fouled off close to a dozen pitches before getting a ground ball to the right side of the infield for the RBI. Seminole, which came into 'Anybody that's in the top 10, we seem to beat.' CARLOS FALLA, SFCC coach the day with a 29-9 record and ranked 19th in the nation, left four runners in scoring position and put the tying run on third in the last inning when Sherri Rebenhold tripled with two outs, but Morrow got a pop-up to the catcher to end the game. In the second game, SFCC got two runs in the second on a run-scoring error and Green's laser beam of a line drive to left-center for a RBI double. The Panthers then strung together three hits in the fifth for two more runs, getting a sin- gle from Wallace followed by a run-scoring double by Congdon - who made two run-saving catches in left field in the fourth - and then a single to left off the bat of Green that plated Congdon. "We had good contributions from everybody today, which is something we haven't been doing," Falla said.

All boats must have operating aerated live-wells. There will be one payback for every five boats entered. Last year 43 boats competed. The tournament is being coordinated by Norman Lee, a professional fisherman. If you have any questions, you can call Norman at the Lake Placid Marina at 465-2335. This tournament is being sponsored by the News-Sun, along with several other local businesses. The Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce also has entry forms, so get that boat cleaned up, sharpen those hooks, fill that tank with $2.25 gas and get ready for a real good day on Lake June. You've got a great chance of winning this tournament because, due to earlier conimit- ments, neither I, Shinichi Fukae nor Takahiro Omori will be attending.

Starr-Chapman- Chapman-Gregor combination uses familiarity with them- selves and the courses to their advantage. "We play a lot together," Mike Chapman said. "This is our standard group. Every tour- nament we play it's the same four people." Their score, combined with a 5.8 handicap, also would have been enough for low net as well, but since rules stipulate no single team can take home both titles, Bob Massam, Kim Schlosser, Carlos Gonzaly and Ed Vowels claimed the net prize with a 48.7. In the second flight, the low- gross went to Jim Shively, Jason Cloud, Jan Valk and Darrell McCullough, who shot a 61. Low net was the team of Robert Olinger, Jeff Fulton, Bill Hasting and Vaughn Hathaway with 50.0. Five closest-to-the-pin com- petitions were held, with Lance Durrance winning on No. 3, Andrew Katsanas on No. 6, Charlie Brown on No. 11, John Palmer on No. 15 and Bob Muir on No. 17. UNITED Continued from 1B Closest-to-the-pin contest winner Doug Gentry teamed with Bernie Speaker, Karen Speaker and Dan Pelfrey to shoot a 10-under 62 and take the second flight by two strokes over the team of Steve Arnold, Mary Arnold, John Hill and April Hill. Third place went to the team of Chris Ragazzone, Robert Wells, Greg Kramer and Nick Massey after a match of cards at 7-under.

S ..."Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Season is sure to be full of surprises Well, we made it. Opening Day is today, and it appears that despite the cata- clysm that was the Boston Red Sox actually winning the World Series, and after nearly five months of the clear and the cream cooking in the hot stove, there will indeed be baseball again. Here's a look at just what might happen. Today: After enduring the choke for all ages and watch- ing the hated Red Sox win the -Series, Yankee fans will turn. An odd feeling of pessimism will descend on Yankee stadi- um, and the hand-wringing will only intensify after an ominous 20-4 Boston win to start the season. Tuesday: Despite an 8-3 vic- tory over the Dodgers without the "injured" Barry Bonds, controversy swirls around the veteran Giants after bottles of Geritol are found in several of the lockers at SBC Park. April 13: The Nationals complete a three-game sweep of Atlanta and take over first place in the NL East. While shocking, the baseball world is slightly less surprised than Frank Robinson is when he finds Joe Gibbs asleep in his RFK Stadium office. May 12: With the Yankees in last place, 11 '/2 games behind the Red Sox, George Steinbrenner cans manager Joe Torre. The Boss claims his baseball people advised him to hire someone who can help the team get access to better steroids, and names Victor Conte the new manager. May 25: The upstart Tigers climb into a tie for first with the Indians in the AL Central. Story is under-reported, since even the Baseball Tonight crew can't name five players for either team. June 14: Bonds returns to Giants lineup and is taken down for a pinch-runner after receiving an intentional walk TIME OUT Chuck Myron in the ninth. After the game an angry Bonds, son in tow, storms into manager's office and berates Felipe Alou for "hurting his family." July 5: Jason Giambi, bat- ting .343 with 39 homers, is roundly hailed as the AL first- half MVP, but suspicions arise when his cap bursts apart dur- ing game with Orioles. July 12: All-Star game somehow again winds up in tie, and commissioner Bud Selig declares home-field advantage in the World Series will go to whichever league has the least players suspended for steroid violations. Aug. 6: Major League Baseball steroid testers seen going into SBC Park. Aug. 7: Bonds calls retire- ment press conference, and deflects all questions to his son, so the media "can see who they're really hurting." Aug. 23: Devil Rays home attendance reaches coveted 1,000 mark for the year when a confused tourist, dizzy from the heat, wanders into Tropicana Field. Sept. 9: With the Yankees again in a tailspin and Giambi on the disabled list with encephalitis and acute back acne, Steinbrenner fires Conte and names the late Billy Martin manager. Sept. 10: After he fails to rise from the dead to make it to the game, Steinbrenner fires Martin and appoints himself as manager. In fit of rage after 9-8 loss to Toronto, Steinbrenner fires himself. Sept. 11: Selig steps into assuage Yankee situation, and appoints Frank Robinson the new Yankees manager. Joe Gibbs takes over in Washington and attempts to conquer a third sport. Sept. 28: Baseball announces moribund Devil Rays will be relocated to Montreal to boost attendance. Oct. 3: Tigers defeat Indians 6-5 in one-game playoff for AL Central title, yet the ESPN telecast of the game draws lower ratings than dogs playing poker on ESPN2. Oct. 11: Before Giants' NLCS with Cardinals, a slimmed-down Barry Bonds unretires and, despite not hit- ting a single home run in the seven-game epic, steals 16 bases to earn MVP honors. After the series, Tony La Russa said he still doesn't believe Bonds ever took steroids. Oct. 19: Riding a wave of momentum after Robinson skippers them to a wild-card, the Yankees enter Fenway Park for Game 7 of the ALCS, and are one out away from the pen- nant. A bouncing ball to third base eludes Alex Rodriguez, however, and the Red Sox rally to win. Fox cameras in Nev York bar show depict wincing and simultaneous groan of "Here we go again." Oct. 27: Bonds steals 14 bases in six-game series against the Red Sox to again earn postseason MVP honors as he leads the Giants to victo- ry for his first World Series title.'A relaxed, happy-go- lucky Bonds deflects praise to his teammates after the game, and claims to have found "inner peace" by replacing 'roid rage with "some flaxseed oil I got from Ricky Williams."

Exciting and terrifying. After only a year in our new home, God was unmistak- ably moving us out to more affordable pastures. The purchase of our house had brought us too close to our financial edge. When property taxes dou- bled, we caved. And our quest began. We broadened our search from New Jersey into neigh- boring Pennsylvania, find- ing a quaint, old farm house in the countryside. My hus- band made inquiries for a transfer. Our house went up for sale. The transfer came through along with a two- hour commute one way. When the New Jersey house didn't sell,-we wondered if we'd heard God correctly. Or was his "no" only prepa- ration for a better "yes?" Recently, while studying about Moses, I received fresh insight. I read how Moses had dealt with a "stiff-necked" people for years after God miraculous- ly had delivered them from slavery in Egypt. They plagued Moses night and day with their complaints. Continually, he went before God for the people. When they cried for water in the wilderness, God told Moses to speak to the rock and it would spew forth fresh water. Moses was so frustrated and angry with the people, that instead of showing obedience and honor to God'% word, he hit 'the r(Kc'wice."' ' Interestingly, God stiff" provided the water. But Moses disobedience cost him the privilege of going into the Promised Land. I hurt for Moses. But I learned that even God's chosen servant was held accountable for his actions. Then another thought emerged. God took Moses high up on the mountain to view the Promised Land. He com- missioned Joshua to lead the people whom God proph- esied would still rebel against him. Then when Moses died, God himself buried him. I wondered if in God's judgment of Moses, anger he had also extended him grace and mercy by releas- ing him from the tiresome responsibility of a rebellious people. Instead, Moses rest- ed in God's bosom a far greater "promised land" than any earthly location. We knew that God had prompted us to sell our one- year old house. But, we should have proceeded more cautiously and given him a chance to direct us. While anticipating the fulfillment of God's plan, the long, winter commute could have been avoided. However, God's "no" was still heaped with mercy and grace. He kept Ken safe in his commute. He taught us many lessons of patience, listening for God's voice and his timing; and, how much more conservative he wanted us to be with our finances. At last, our direction was turned to Florida where becoming debt-free would be achieved more quickly. God mercifully spared us from more financial heartache by leading us to a "promised land" that restored my ailing hus- See MERCY, page 5C INSIDE Crossword 2C Dear Abby 2C Horoscope 5C SLifestyle :?m a v*m m.' ^ '-*:.-" * SECTION C + SUNDAY, APRIL 3, 2005 Its NEWS-SUN + SEBRING, FLA. 02 0 Hall stitches quilts for s in Highlands By ELIZABETH WALKER flag the appearance of waving.

It requires commitment, consistency and some creativity to achieve lasting results loving the training as much as the benefits. Couples who exercise their souls can't peer inside and watch the process. But their marriages reflect a more confident, loving posture. The first Sunday of each month, the News-Sun will feature a series of true stories compiled by correspondent Jan Merop. They're designed to encourage you to stretch, tighten and tone the soul of your marriage. Ready? It's workout time! By JAN MEROP News-Sun correspondent Gene's creativity thrust him into unusual opportunities. His short atten- tion span shrunk further after serving in Vietnam translating into various careers and locations. "I'm blessed that Gloria lets me do my own thing and rolls along beside me." "I knew Gene would always provide for us, so I didn't worry about him stay- ing in one place for the long haul." When he brought home a new idea, they discussed ideas openly. Then she'd say "Whatever," but with approval. She knew her man and he needed to be able to "do his own thing." He and Gloria had been married about 15 years and had three children when a friend shared about an opportunity in Saudi Arabia. It would involve sales and Gene's ears perked up. He knew he could sell knee pads to a camel. He loved adventure. What did he have to lose? Intriguing. That's what it was. And the whole family could experi- ence a foreign culture. Gloria picked up on c b-y:REDOEHLER S graphic by: FRED KOEHLERINEWSSUN his excitement and agreed he should give it a try. When he told her that he would be selling cement, her only ques- tion was, "What do you know about cement?" Indeed, Gene thought. What do I know about cement? But he wouldn't let a little thing like that stand in the way. He consulted with people in the industry; then, armed with his newly acquired knowledge, proceed- ed to put together the necessary docu- ments, get passports and pack. Gene would fly there first, get settled and send for Gloria and the kids in a few weeks. However, things didn't progress exactly as they were supposed to. The wife 6f the man who introduced the opportunity to Gene opened her home to Gloria and her children while they waited on word from Gene. In spite of his limited cement knowl- edge, Gene was highly successful. His employers loved him; but, they continually put off having his fam- ily join him. Meanwhile, Gloria's sense of humor stretched thin- ner than a rubber band ready to snap. Delays caused both families to get on each others nerves. When the question about Gene's family was waved aside one more time by his superiors, he hopped a flight back to the States. Though Gloria had been eager to experi- ence a foreign culture with Gene, she happily acquiesced. Being together was what mattered. When they look back on the uncon- ventional way he earned a living and provided for his family, they tilt their heads back and laugh. "We've had so much fun in the things that we've experienced together," Gene said. Fun. It's framed their marriage, actu- ally. They know how to laugh at them- selves; to tease and banter back and forth and cradle life's events with a sense of mirth. It keeps them buoyant. So, who needs to know anything about cement? Warm-up time You crawl into bed waiting for your spouse. He gets in bed with- out turning off the light. He says it's your turn. You say it's his. Then he playfully asks you to pick a number from 1-10. You say, "three." He says wrong and you get out of bed and turn off the light. Sit-up and take notice What just happened here? Why did you get up and give in? But, immediately you laugh, glad that playfulness has won out instead of arguing the point. Curl-up together Coming alongside your mate as his completee" may mean giv- ing into his playful ways even if he really could have turned off the light on his way to bed. Accommodating grace allows you to fall asleep in each other's arms with a smile on your face. Soul fitness "A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit."

I was home, sick. Nearly everyone enjoys being at home, but no one wants to be sick. There was a silver lining in my enforced inactivity. So many of us live at a pace that used to be a joke -warp speed - that we miss out on what is right under our noses. I laid back in the recliner in the sun- room and realized that I hadn't been home on a weekday morn- ing for a long time. Just to show me what I'd been missing, a pair of red-headed woodpeck- ers flew in and began working over the bark on a large pine. Then a swirl of huge wings announced the arrival of a pileated woodpecker, searching for grubs at the base of another pine. I felt for the pine as chunks of bark went flying. The pleated woodpecker is one big bird! Its head is red and crested and its body is black with white striping on the neck and under the wings. It dwarfed the red-headed woodpeckers, but they weren't spooked by the presence of a bird three times their size. Naturally, I had to find a library book that would tell me all about this bird. "The Book of North American Birds" says that the pileated woodpecker is now the largest North American woodpecker. The main differ- ence between the pileated and the equally large ivory-billed is that the latter has a creamy white bill. The ivory-billed woodpecker was a Southern bird but is con- sidered to be all but extinct because it ate mainly "flat- headed borers that live beneath the bark of dead or dying trees. In all likelihood, today's small- er, better-managed forests could not sustain even a token popula- tion of ivory-bills." It seems that the pileated woodpecker isn't so choosy about its diet. Any bird that enjoys ants is sure. to find a good meal. "The Book of North American Birds" continues: "Pileateds still need large tracts of woodland, but they have adapted well to younger trees." Pileated woodpeck- ers range over much of the northwest and all of the eastern United States. Maturing to the size of a newborn baby (16-19 inches), Florida's law con- cerning preservation of cypress trees has probably been a great help, as they make big excavations in trees for their nests. The Arthur Howell book "Florida Bird Life" says, "(B)irds are perhaps most numerous in hammocks or swamps, where there is an abundance of decaying trees. We found a number of pairs breeding in cypress trees along the borders of Lake Istokpoga." This is the right time to look for their nests, as they breed from March to May. Howell calls them "a decidedly useful species. It never injures farm crops but feeds but feeds entirely in the forests, rendering good service there in, the destruction of wood-boring beetles". For those of you who like to wander on the trails of Highlands Hammock State Park, this is an ideal nesting area with acres of rotten stumps, cypress, pine, black gum, oak and cabbage palmet- to. Howell notes "the birds are very fond of palmetto berries. Getting up with the sun on Easter Sunday became a time for reflection on the Creator's gifts to us. The ferns and new growth on our hurricane-dam- aged trees are beginning to soft- en the landscape, and the birds and other wildlife seem unaf- fected by last summer's havoc. What better time to reflect on the meaning of life and the bounty of beauty that surrounds us, waiting for us to slow down and watch the unfolding of the intricate pattern of life and death in our own back yards., Shows begin at noon Saturday at Avon Park Public Library AVON PARK French movies will be featured at the April film series hosted by the Avon Park Public Library, 100 N. Museum Ave. Films begin at noon on Saturday. The schedule is as follows: On Saturday, "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1990) will be shown. Based on the play by Edmond Rostand, the story is one of a swashbuckling cavalier and hopeless romantic bur- dened with an enormous nose. He loves Roxanne, but she is taken with Christian, another soldier in Cyrano's regiment. Cyrano expresses his love for Roxanne through Christian, causing her to fall in love with him instead. Gerard Depardieu was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as Cyrano. Jean-Paul Rappeneau's direc- tion is ltsh and magnificent. Running time: 2 hours, 17 min- utes. Rated: PG. In French with English subtitles. Krzysztof Kieslowski's sem- inal 1990s trilogy, examining the symbolic meaning of the colors of the French flag, will begin April 9 and continue on April 14 and 23. The first in the series, "Blue" (1993), focuses on a young woman who is devastated by an accident which kills her com- poser husband and daughter. She retreats into sorrow, but her husband's affairs continue to bring her out of her shell. This, perhaps, is the liberty alluded to by the blue in the French flag. Running time: 1 hour, 38 min- utes. Rated: R for nudity, sex and language. In French with English subtitles. Next will be "White" (1994), which refers to the band in the French flag that stands for equality. In this film, a marital strain develops between a Polish hair stylist and his French wife, due in part to his inability to consummate their marriage. She divorces him, and he returns to Poland under the most bizarre conditions. He plots his revenge to make her suffer equally. Running time: 1 hour, 32 minutes. Rated: R for some sexuality and language. In French with English subtitles. The final Kieslowski film will be "Red" (1994), referring to the stripe in the French flag that stands for fraternity. A con- nection develops from shared revelations between a depressed model and a retired judge who has acquired a taste for voyeurism, played by the acclaimed Jean-Louis Trintignant. The plot turns into a com- pelling mystery with an unex- pected conclusion. Running time: 1 hour, 39 minutes. Rated: R for a brief but strong sex scene. In French with English subtitles. On April 30, the film will be "The Closet" (2001), directed by Francis Veber. Gerard Depardieu plays an office bully who harasses a weak co-work- er, played by Daniel Auteuil. Rumor circulates that Auteuil is to be fired and that he is gay - and thus the firing should be carefully done to avoid accusa- tions of discrimination. Running time: 1 hour, 25 min- utes. Rated: R for a scene of sexuality. In French with English subtitles. For details, call the library at 452-3803. Enjoy spring activities at Highlands Hammock Spring is on the 5 way, and with it, lots s . for your family to -- enjoy at the park. Hey, mom and dad: Why not plan evening picnics and playtime at the park? The family can relax and enjoy an REAL evening meal, out- doors or at the Dorot] Hammock Inn. The kids can play on the playground or throw a football. After dinner, stroll some of the trails that you haven't visit- ed lately. Do you remember the giant tree on the Big Oak Trail? It's the one that's over 36 feet around, and just over 1,000 F hy years old. Or how about the oak you can stand inside of on the Hickory Trail? Of course my favorite trail, the F e r n Garden/Memorial Trail is always a FLORIDA great place to look for frogs, water y Harris snakes and alligators -- in the evening. As the days last longer, our staff begins preparations for our annual Earth Day celebration. From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 23, you'll find activities for your family to enjoy. One of them is our big community yard sale. Since the weather is nice now, I'll bet you are ready to clean out your garage, attic or shed. Having yard sales at home can be inconvenient - think of the 6 a.m. early birds! Some neighborhoods discour- age it, and no one likes people parking in their yard. We have the solution! Why not start organizing your stuff and plan to join us on Earth Day? Spaces will be available for a $10 donation, which will support park improvement projects. Not only will you be supporting the park, getting rid of unneeded items and raising some money for you or your favorite charity, you'll be able to do it during our annual Earth Day Festival, so it will be fun too! For more information, call Dorothy Harris at 634-7695 . We hope that you'll join us to "reduce, reuse, and recycle" all that stuff that you no longer need. After all, "one person's trash just might be another's treasure," and I'm sure you will treasure the family memories of this fun-filled, nature-focused day.

This is my goal because I want to sup- port my family, my mom and dad, and I want my family to be able to enjoy life. My first step is to get good grades and get into college. I also need to change my behavior and ways,- including staying focused and staying away from drugs. I know if I do this things, my fam- ily will be proud of me and support me because they can look back and say, "That Boy Achieved His Goals." Ryan Commodore Lake Placid Middle School Healing others What would you like to accomplish "One Brick at a Time"? I would like to be a doctor. That is what I would like to accomplish "One Brick at a Time." To be able to make my goal come true, I would need to make sure my grades are very high. Then I would need to finish school. While I would be trying to accomplish that, I would have to save up my money to go to col- lege. Imagine having to study all of those years. That is a long time. But I know it will be worth it. Norma Salgado Lake Placid Middle School Rodeo champ Do you have a goal in life? I do, and it is to make the National Finals Rodeo. Only the best of the best make it to the NFR. I want to make it in calf roping. In calf roping you have to give the calf a head start out of a shoot, and you try to rope him and tie him in the fastest time. It is a very competitive sport and is a lot of hard work but is definitely a goal I aim to achieve. So I had better get to work. Slade Bronson Lake Placid Christian School Future scholar My goal is to go to high school and be a very good student. I. want to qualify for the Bright Futures Program.

But first, I want to make it through middle school with straight A's and have a good reputation. I encourage everyone to try to make this their goal, because it is very important to have a good education. Korey Cooke Lake Placid Christian School Healing pets My goal in life is to go through high school and college with good grades and become a vet. I chose to be a vet because I love animals, and I've wanted to be a vet since I was 5. I know I'll have to spend seven or eight years in college, but it will be worth it. Since I got the channel "Animal Planet," I've been longing to be a vet. I watch it all the time, and it shows operations, just so I can get use to it. Hopefully, I'll get all A's and B's when I get to college. If I don't, I'll be very disappointed in myself. Being a vet is my life goal.

Gerald Watts Lake Placid Christian School 1- -, I Ir I --- -P I~IBPIC---L~L -- r I I I' -- News-Sun, Sunday, April 3, 2005 Some plants suit some gardeners, but not others Ponder is defined by Webster's Dictionary as "to weigh in the mind or to think about and reflect on." Plants to Ponder, or PTP, will he a series of articles about plants that you may want to serious- ly think about before you plant them or allow them to grow on your land. Often we need to remove small unde- sirable plants before they get started and .. GROWING SEASON Highlands County Master Gardeners become big undesirable plants. As we do this as home owners, we can accomplish the work ourselves when they are young and small. Once they become large, we may have to hire a professional to accomplish this task for safety sake and to get the trash such as limbs and stumps hauled to a proper disposal loca- tion. It goes without saying that paying someone to remove them will be more costly than doing the job ourselves. We always need to con- sider safety, but our pocketbooks may be much better off if we do a little work on our own when plants are small and manageable. Some plants may have negative charac- teristics for some home owners but be welcome by others. As an example, a friend and fellow Master Gardner welcomes just about any type of palm to his property in Lake Placid. He has roughly five acres and loves palms of all types. Huge vari- eties like the Bismarck, Royal and Washingtonia are welcome in his oversized yard. Like many of you, this writer has less than three-quarters of an acre. Any of those palms, in a mature state, would be too large for my yard. Another Palm my friend is glad to have in his yard is the Phoenix reclinata or Senegal date palm. I owned one of these for a number of years but would not accept one as a gift today even with a cash bonus. They are very difficult to deal with unless you like being stuck with thorns that are as sharp as a nee- dle. These thorns have inflicted too many wounds on me to ever want one again. The Reclinata palm is one of the most beautiful of the land- scape palms. Many landscape architects and landscape designers favor it, as it is great in landscaping of large estates, and institutions like South Florida Community College. It will also be often found in the property of palm aficionados, but for the majority of home- owners in our area forewarned is forearmed. If you have a plant that you would like to see covered in this column for a certain reason please call the Master Gardner Office at 402-6540 and leave a message for Plants to Ponder. You can also send e-mail to profdhf@hotmail.com. Don Farrens is a Master Gardener affiliated with the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

"The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saving, Arise, and go down to the potter's house. and there I will cause thee to hearf tI' Iw'ords. Then I went fdo'wn to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the, wheels. And the vessel that he made' of clay was marred In the hand'-of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 0 house of Israel, cannot I do with you: as this potter? Saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, 0 house of Israel." In Jeremiah 18th chapter, God instructed Jeremiah to go down to the potter's house because there was something He wanted him to see. Now, even tho hat God showed him was concerning the Nation we can apply it to our individual lives. There ree key figures in this passage of scripture: Th (Jesus), The Clay (Us), The wheels circumstancec or the process). As clay, the Potter (Jesus) has se chosen us, but some of us are stuck on the whe [fe. this is not your final destination, only a part process to get you to your purpose. The process i for a season.

"In certain places in the United States I really think that people aren't just looking at peo- ple as people," says Kutcher. "So I did this movie with the hope of changing people's minds." In the magazine's style of entertainers conversing with each other, Kutcher was inter- viewed by Brad Pitt. Pitt, no stranger to tabloid gossip him- self, didn't much press Kutcher on rumors that his girlfriend, l)emi Moore, is pregnant. Pitt's questions ran more along the lines of "What do you feel is our responsibility doing something good or doing some- thing for an audience?" OIL- m 6C News-Sun, Sunday, April 3, 2005 Young director hits mark with 'A Tale of Two Pizzas' By SHARON JONES News-Sun When he was only 12, Vincent Sassone knew he want- ed to make movies. Following in the steps of Steven Spielberg, he lugged a camera around his neighbor- hood and made home movies, coaxing family members in the leading roles. In his early adult years, after earning a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Catholic University in Washington, D.C., Sassone worked in wrote, took acting jobs in New York City and Los Angeles, and worked on his own stage productions. He also completed a short film "Italian Lessons." Only 36 minutes long, it told the sim- ple story of a young window who teaches the "language of love" to a high school boy so that he can score with girls. He falls for her instead until a suitor from Italy turns the duo into a triangle. The acclaimed short film played on Northwest Airlines. Sassone wanted to make a fea- ture version and when that fell through he turned to anoth- er script he had stashed away, "A Tale of Two Pizzas." Completed in 2003, the "high-carb romantic comedy - inspired by "Romeo and Juliet" - is making its rounds on the festival circuit and getting "two thumbs up" from audiences. During its debut at the 2003 Northampton Film Festival, Sassone got his first indication that he had hit the'jackpot as he was heading to the theater where it was being shown. "I walked around the corner with my dad, and the line to the theater was wrapped around the corner. We filled 500-seat the- ater. We were their highest grossing film in the 10-year his- tory of the festival." "Two Pizzas" went on to get the audience choice award for best comedy at the Sarasota Film Festival in 2004. It was shown at the JVC American Filmmaker's Showcase at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. It tied for audience favorite at the Food in Film Festival in California, headlined the 2004 Daytona Beach Film Festival, and then crossed an ocean to help inaugurate the Cimameriche Film Festival in Liguria, Italy. The corporate representatives of N&S Cinemas, which owns Fairmount Cinema 6, saw the film in Daytona Beach and started booking it in its theaters. It opened at the Fairmount on Friday, giving local audiences the rare opportunity to see an independent film on the big screen ahead of the rest of the country and before it goes to video. Sassone explained the grow- ing popularity of "Two Pizzas" by saying pizza and movies just seem to go together. Of course, a sprinkling of romance never hurt, either. In "Two Pizzas," a 20-year feud has been going on between to rival pizzerias one owned by Vito Rossi (Vinnie Pastore); the other by Frank Bianco (Frank Vincent). "One has good crust, the other has good sauce," Sassone said of the rivalry. When a secret recipe is stolen from one of the pizza shops, the pizza makers declare war on each other. Yet secretly their son and daughter are finding ways to make peace. A casting coupe brought Vinnie Pastore and Frank Vincent into the leading roles. Sassone said his casting direc- tor, Rob Decina, slipped the script to Pastore, the actor who became a recognizable face for playing the wiseguy Big Pussy Bonpensiero on the HBO hit TV show "The Sopranos" from 1999-2000. Pastore shared an agent with Vincent, his friend and another "Soprano" star. He signed on next. Sassone recalled meeting his prospective leads over lunch. "I wasn't interviewing them. They were interviewing me," he recalled. "All they wanted to know was: Who are you? Are you going to make me look good? Am I in the right hands? Because ultimately, as a direc- tor, it is what I'm going to do with them." Pastore was particularly looking for a film "that didn't have a gun in it," Sassone said. That had been the concept of "Two Pizzas" from beginning. "We talked about this film has having no guns, no car chases, no drugs, just high-carb Italian family romance," Sassone said. Once he won over his leading men, Patti D'Arbanville of the TV show "Third Watch" and Angela Pietropinto of "Another World" came aboard as the wives of the story Margie Bianco and Beverly Rossi. Robin Paul is the Rossi daugh- ter, Angela, while Conor Dubin is Tony Bianco. Peter Fish wrote the score. Courtesy photo 'A Tale of Two Pizzas' opened Friday at Fairmount Cinema 6 in Sebring. The independent film has been receiving rave reviews from audiences who have seen in at film festivals since it was released in 2003. Freddy Cole, brother of Nat King Cole, sings on the sound- track. Five animated pieces were created by Jeff Drew, an artist from Albuquerque, N.M. "I honestly wanted to do something a little different," Sassone said. "When you're working on a small budget, it's time to take chance because you can." In the film, doodling is the lovesick Tony's way of express- ing himself, and through anima- tion his scribbles take on a life of its own. The rest of the film was shot in on the streets and in the pizza parlors of Yonkers. "Where I was born and raised," Sassone confirmed. "We used a lot of the locations that I was familiar with while I was growing up. A lot of the color in the film comes from people I knew, my family knew, the pizzerias that we used, my family has been going to for years. I wanted to put Yonkers on film and also Italians the way I see them." Ironically, in the circular ebb of life, just as "Italian Lessons" led Sassone into making "Two Pizzas," "Two Pizzas" is lead- ing back to "Italian Lessons." As things are shaping up, it will be Sassone's next feature film, and he hopes shooting will begin later this year.

Crews from Innovative Brick and Stone of Sebring and L.A. Hart Equipment Co. joined forces with the congregation to erect a steeple on top of a 15-foot concrete tower at the church. The building itself was not built to hold the weight of such a large steeple, according to Pastor Jim Weed. In 1955, the steeple was placed atop of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Lakeland, but when the church relocated a couple of years ago the building was sold to a business, which had no need for the steeple. It was later given to the Sebring church. Co-directors looking for nine women and 10 men for a variety of parts SEBRING The revo- lutionary reinvention of Kander and Ebb's hit musical "Cabaret" brings to life the seedy glamour of the legendary Kit Kat Club. The show begins on the eve of Adolph Hitler's rise to power in Weimar, Germany, and depicts the interlocking stories of a cabaret singer, an American writer and the denizens of Berlin, all caught up in the swirling maelstrom of a changing society. "Cabaret" will come to life on the Highlands Little Theatre stage in August as the fifth show in its 2004-05 season. Co-directors Melanie Boulay and Jennifer Westergom have scheduled auditions. An open audition for cast members will be at 5:45 p.m. Thursday, April 14. Attendance is required for all actors. Those who are unable to attend should call one of the directors.

News-Sun, Sunday SHARON JONES/News-Sun Chris Hayes, as P.T. Barnum, gets his circus show on the road in 'Barnum: The Music.' It will be playing at Highlands Little Theatre in Sebring through Sunday, April 10. 'Barnum' brings in the clowns With the opening g of "Barnum: The Musical" on March 25, Highlands Little ., Theatre presented its 140th main stage production. The cir- cus musical was an excellent choice to commemorate the " L a k e s i d e ONSi Playhouse's mile- stone for the play is Roy R an exuberant and - joyful celebration of "show biz." Capable Christopher Hayes portrayed Phineas Taylor Barnum, and Deanna Pollard played his stage wife, Charity Barnum, his supportive yet decidedly independent help- mate. Clell Ford was the Ringmaster, a crucial part nec- essary to forward the narrative of the play and introduce new characters as they appeared on stage. The historical Barnum was convinced that there was a "sucker born every minute," and to take advantage of his motto he exhibited unusual peo- ple and marvels to satisfy gullible curiosity and profit from this inquisitiveness. The HLT audience was treated to a peek of Joice Heath, the "oldest women in the world" who claimed to be the nurse of George Washington. This won- der was played by multi-talent- ed Toni Ford, who in the second act is reincarnated into a blues [AGE iedy musical Tara Henderson, Katherine Whitacre, Jody Whitaker, Tricia Ziegler, and a well- trained poodle named "Bentley." "Barnum" was directed by Kathy MacNeill, the assis- tant director was Margie Pollard and the co-producers were Margie Pollard, Art Harriman, and Karen Bach. The director was Judy Vekasy, A. J. Brand was the per- cussionist, Paige Bach was the music page turner, and the vocal coach was Toni Ford. Anne Hill _was the dialect coach. The costume design was exe- cuted by Bea Walsh, her seam- stresses were Helen Curcio, June Gates, Nancy Gill, Barbara Fleming, and Toni Ford. The wardrobe assistants were Barbara Sylvester, Edna Wilson, Ben Turner, and Robert Martin; make-up was done by Clare Baird and Lois Brown and Janet Waldron was the stage manager. The set design was by Kathy MacNeill and Tom Walsh, who was also the construction coor- dinator. Set art was done by Cameron Redk, Christopher Friend and Kathy MacNeill. The lobby art was painted- by Holly Elliott. The set construc- tion crew. included the cast of "Barnum" and Lou Vekasy, Lee Geiger, Ken Hall, Chuck Hemler, Jay Whitaker, Larry Wollangk, Ford Turner, Kelsey Mehling, Kade Mehling, Kyle Allman, Mike Smith, Shelly Smith, Scott Fassold, Jeffrey James, Katherine James, and Sunny Zengler. Frank Oberhausen was responsible for the lighting design, his lighting technician was Ken Hall. The sound design and technician was George Symonds. The stage crew consisted of Lou Vekasy, J.D. Baird, and Brady Anderson. The 16 clowns involved in the production are members of Toby the Clown Foundation Inc. and included Keith "Toby" Stokes, Dorothy "Dottie" Nickel, Larry "Neco" Nickel, Margarethe "Abby Dabby" Tower, Lanore "Whiz Bang" Braman, Linda "Snookie" Peak, Larry "Snuffy" Smith, Lolly "La-Lee" Tharpe, Joan "Jo-Jo" Petty, Rick "Sparky" Turner, David "String Bean" Jingst, Stephanie "Pretty Penny" Jingst, Marilyn "Pom Pom" Quigg, Pat "Jelly Bean" Collins, Sandy "Fuzzy" McCray, and Zachary "No Name" McCray.

She was also respon- sible for co-choreographing the show with Heather Boyce. However well known those two phenomenons were, the most sensational crowd pleaser the arsenal was Tom Thumb, played by Cameron Reck who breaks into song to explain that "Bigger Isn't Better." The list of principal charac- ters of the play included the aerialists Nicole Brand and Lydia Ford who were schooled by fellow aerialist Morgan Anderson. The supporting cast included John Gill, Ben Turner, RoseMarie Tippins-Beringer, Leah Grecko, Ross Anderson, Gloria Coffey, Lewis Hall, Ron Thomas, and Robert Martin.
