Highs 90s Lows 70s By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Roseann Kiefer had her bathroom remodeled last summer. The work took weeks, because it was done a little at a time. Wednesday morning, that bathroom was demolished in less than two minutes when SpringLake Services pulled down the entire 1,800-square- foot house in 22 minutes flat. "I was sentimental when I was trying to decide if I should save the house or tear it down," Kiefer said. "As I found more and more wrong with the house, I was ready to get over with." She said that half of every- thing in her garage was rusted because of the leaks and the house smelled like dirt. "I'm really excited about having a new house. I'm really glad that I have this piece of property on Lake Jackson." Kiefer admitted that without the help of her brother, Daniei. Kiefer, who is a contractor in Michigan, she would still be sit- ting on a piece of empty proper- ty. He will be handling the con- struction of her new home. Driver arrested in another alleged street race incident By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING It was another case of street racing and although there were no injuries this time around, police have filed charges against at least one of the drivers. Charged with racing on the street was a man identified as Mario Tejada Solis of SAvon Park. Street racing SOLIS charges against the second driver, Hector Solis, still are pending. The men are believed to be brothers, however, Sebring police still are trying to sort out exactly who the drivers were as well as a number of different issues. According to Sebring Police Patrolman Brian Livesay, it all began Thursday as he was parked in the parking lot of the old Eckerd Drug store about 11:45 p.m. completing paper- work,. Livesay looked up to see a pair of cars stopped at the traf- fic light at the intersection of U.S. 27 and the Sebring Parkway a white Honda and a gray Toyota. As they waited for the light to turn green, Livesay reported he could hear the Honda revving its engine "in an appar- ent attempt to get the other vehicle to race him." That driver later was identi- fied as Mario Tejada Solis. When the light turned green, the cars accelerated at a high rate of speed and Livesay gave See RACE, page 11A ati- inP at] If Kiefer one of the original i lilt by the U.S. Amrn cer corps, when F fieldd was built dur ar II.

Kiefer has resided there for nine years. \4hen the city of Sebring was founded, there was a high rise of land where Lakeview Terrace now is. From there the elevation dropped down into Lake Jackson, where the shoreline i Snob Hollow was an extensive and nasty smelling swamp. According to records at the Sebring Historical Society, George Sebring had planned to build a hotel on the high ground and dredge out the swampy area to add a boat basin and aquatic garden. Those plans never material- ized. Instead, in the mid-1920s, the lake was dredged and the fill pumped to the Snob Hollow area, as well as Edgewater Point further north, to create building lots, and the road that circled the lake. The Depression had slowed development in Highlands County, but with the outbreak of World War II a boom occurred,' as nearly 8,000 new residents poured into the area, following the opening of Hendrick's Field. The Army built houses up and down Crescent Drive. Only as it turns out, the organic fill used to form the foundations'of these houses has - not held up over time.

POND News-Sun correspondent LORIDA The Florida snail kite, a rare and endangered bird that reached the brink of extinction in this country in the 1960s, has recently been spot- ted in trees around Lake Istokpoga. Wildlife biologists from the University of Florida have been conducting research throughout South Florida in an attempt to discover new nesting areas. They spotted the birds this spring and sent Global Positioning System coordinates to Florida's Department of Environmental Protection to verify the nesting sites. David Demmi, an environ- mental specialist with DEP's Bartow office, located four nests at Istokpoga and docu- mented them in photographs. "I had never seen a snail kite until I went out on Istokpoga to take the photos, and I have been working on these lakes for 15 years," Demmi said. "We need- ed to document the locations so that people using the lake and working in these areas would avoid them." Protecting the nesting birds is critical to their survival, because snail kites have the highest rate of nest failures amongst all birds, at 66 percent. They usually construct their nests in bulrush and cattail communities, although some will nest in scrub and trees such as bald and pond cypress. Istokpoga In all instances, the nest will be over water in order to protect them from predators. Demmi calls his firsthand experience seeing the birds fly- ing to and from their nests "very impressive. I was so glad to see them there." The Florida snail kite is so See BIRD, page 11A 75C Down home friendly ELAINE LEVEY/News-Sun Kyle Rupert, 15, of Lake Placid, who's working at Henscratch Farms in Lake Placid this summer, shows that even the dragonflies are friendly 'down on the farm.' 2A News-Sun, Sunday, June 26, 2005 HIGHLANDS Hill in serious condition after hit by train SEBRING Stan Hill of Lorida is in serious con- dition in Tampa General Hospital after being hit by a train Thursday night. According to Highlands County sheriff's deputies, Hill and his 20-year-old son were fishing from the bridge over Istokpoga Creek at about 7-7:10 p.m. Thursday when a passenger train arrived. The bridge sits along U.S. 98 just across from the Hickory Hammock Wildlife Management Area. The son managed to get away, but Hill was clipped by the access ladder on the front of the locomotive. He was airlifted with injuries. Applications sought for two circuit judge positions The Tenth Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission is now accept- ing applications for two new circuit judge positions., that were recently created by the Florida Legislature. The Tenth Judicial Circuit encompasses Highlands, Hardee and Polk counties. Applicants for these cir- cuit judgeships must have been members of the Florida Bar for the preced _-ing five years, must be re g-, istered to vote in the state of Florida and must reside in the Tenth Judicial Circuit at the time the suc- cessful applicants are sworn in office. The commission's inter- view of the applicants 'is tentative scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 9, in Bartow. The governor has direct- ed that the commission submit to him a panel of highly qualified applicants for these two positions no later than Friday, Aug. 19. Judy Lee Brown, Sebring, serves on the Tenth Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission. County nets $35,000 for timber sales SEBRING Highlands County will receive $34.687.65 from the Avon Park Air Force Range on Tuesday, its portion of the net receipts of timber sales from the range. By military regulations, the counties where bases are located will receive 40 percent of the net receipts from logging sales on those bases. Permanent or portable? Circle stage debated By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING Longtime resi- dent A.J. "Bucky" Kahn has continued his call for a stage on the Circle in downtown Sebring. When it came up at Monday's city council meeting, council members agreed that a stage would be nice. However, the overriding opinion was that it should be portable, rather than a fixed asset. "Most of the people I talk to like the idea, but they want to see a portable stage," council- woman Margie Rhoades said. Councilman John Griffin agreed, saying the idea that a moveable stage would be some- thing he could support. The city has sought input from both Jon Spiegel, who does the annual Christmas dec- COLLEY KARLSON Lake Placid adds new d Special to the News-Sun LAKE PLACID Four merchants have been appointed to the Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors after the meeting of the board Thursday. Appointed are James Colley, Pam Karlson, Vicki Spires, and Debbie Malloy-Thorpe. Colley is a certified finan- cial planner and registered investment advisor He and his family have lived in Lake Placid since 1985. He is a graduate of Clarkson University in Potsdam, N.Y., where he received a bachelor of j,cjince degree in electrical and -rcqiput.et- engineering. He S' be I t signing building automation systems for Siebe Environmental Controls and .Honeywell. As his career developed, it evolved steadily to the financial side of the business. With focus on a specialization in financial planning and advisory, he com- pleted the certified financial planner professional education curriculum from the College for Financial Planning in Colorado. He has been with Colley Financial Services for over seven years. The family busi- ness includes his wife Susan, a certified public accountant, and his mother Frances, an enrolled agent and accredited tax advi- sor. N Karlson, a native Floridian, has been practicing law in Florida for 12 years and will soon be relocating her Lake Placid office to a new building on Dal Hall Boulevard in 2006. The focus of her prac- tice is real estate transactions, probates and estate planning. She graduated as valedicto- rian from Lake Placid High School in 1989. Her community involvement includes membership in the Zonta Club of Highlands County and she is a director on the United Way Advisory Board for Highlands County. She is married to ERA Broker Greg Karlson and they have a son Grant and are expecting a baby girl in October. Her parents are Richard and orations on the Circle, as well as the Downtown Merchants and Professional Association. Spiegel, who also is on the Sebring Special Events Committee, has backed the idea of a portable structure. "You have more versatility with a portable stage," he said. "I do a lot of traveling and I have seen a lot of festivals, and they use portable stages. With modern technology, a lot of the equipment is much smaller than it used to be." He also noted that using a modular set up, stages can be constructed in different sizes depending on how many squares are used. Spiegel also recommended that the stage be higher than recommended. "In order for people to be seen it really needs to be up about 48 inches," he said. As a member of the special events committee, Spiege) said that group would be willing to put forward $1,000 towards the' purchase or construction of a moveable facility. Rob Viera, president of the DMPA, said he planned to bring the issue before members of that group at their July 6 gener- al meeting. "I want to hear what the DMPA members have to say, but speaking as just one voice, one member of the organiza- tion, I have to say I'm in favor of a portablestage," he said. Like others, Viera pointed to the ability of moving the facili- ty to where it might be needed as one of the major assets of such a facility. "There are a lot of people who think that everything is on the Circle. Having a portable one would open doors for us to put stages different places for different events," he said. At Tuesday night's council meeting, Marty Roepstorff, another longtime resident, remembered when there was a band shell down by the lake where the Highlands Art League's Artists' Village now sits. "If you had a portable stage, you could move it down there when you needed it," Griffin said. Kahn adamantly disagreed. He said everybody he had talked to about the idea wanted to have a permanent structure on the Circle. "They have one at Firemen's Field and every time they bring it out and try to set it up, it does- n't work," he said Kahn, who has offered to pay for the construction of the stage said he would not finance it if it was not permanent. "If they want a portable one they're going to have to pay for it. Plus, where are they going to store it and who's going to pay for having it brought out and put away every time somebody wants to use it?" he asked. He has suggested the con- crete platform should be 17 feet long, and placed in the section of the Circle between North Commerce Avenue and Ridgewood Drive. "We just need to get people to call Margie Rhoades and John Griffin and tell them they want something permanent up there and not temporary," Kahn said.

Staffing Special needs shelter staff got worn out last year, working long shifts without any relief. The emergency management regions and the state are putting together a medical task force to help supplement some of these shelters. If one area is hit, and others left alone, staff from the unaffected areas will go relieve those who were hit, Nichols said.

The burglar also took three gospel music compact disks. On Tuesday, June 21, Highlands County sheriff's deputies contacted a Sebring woman who said Aaron Bradley Loeb, 31, of Sebring, had been by her house and gave her a check from that checkbook to pay a debt to her. It was made out to him for $200, and signed. The Sebring woman became suspicious, contacted the account holder using the phone number on the check, and learned it had been stolen. So, she too called the sheriff's office. When deputies met up with Loeb Wednesday, June 22, and questioned him, he allegedly admitted to giving it to the Sebring woman. He was arrested and charged with uttering a forged instrument and petit theft, with bail set at $1,250. Hawthorne charged with aggravated domestic battery LAKE PLACID On June 21, a Lake Placid woman went to the a Compass Avenue address in Lake Placid to pick up her child.

Allegedly, Hawthorne hit her in the face With his hand, grabbed' her by. her arms and neck, and hit her abdomen and right leg with the handle of a broom. Arrest reports said the woman is 10 weeks pregnant, and Hawthorne knows it. She grabbed her child and tried to leave, but, according to sheriff's office reports, Hawthorne pushed her into a wall. Her child was unhurt, reports said. As she ran out of the house and was placing the child in her car, Hawthorne allegedly came out and pointed a 9mm handgun at her, allegedly threatening to kill her if she called police. She got in the front seat, locked the doors and drove off. Highlands County sher- iff's deputies tried to find Hawthorne, but were unable to locate him right away. They did find him, howev- er, and charged him with aggravated domestic battery on a pregnant woman and aggravated assault with a firearm. No bond was set. Knotts charged with hitting a police officer SEBRING At 7:43 a.m. Wednesday, June 22, a Sebring police officer went to Brae Locke Apartments to investigate a strange, person standing in front of a school bus, keeping it from moving. The man, identified as Bennie Cameron Knotts, 52, of Sebring, refused to move from in front of the bus after two attempts to make him move. Knotts allegedly told the officer not to touch him, although he could touch the officer. He then allegedly poked the officer in the stom- ach. After being told not to, he said he could flick the offi- cer, and flicked his badge. The officer started to restrain Knotts using chemi- cal spray. Knotts bent down to his knees and the officer tried to handcuff him. The officer told Knptt ;,to stay down and not get up, but Knotts tried to anyway.

While he waited, Wacaster allegedly took out a pocket knife, opened it and began running toward the victim. The victim ran away into the front yard until Wacaster stopped chasing him. He then put the knife away. The two men are related, arrest reports said. Wacaster was charged with domestic violence aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Bond was not set. said. The five young men arrested Wednesday night Derrin Davis, 20, Russell Eiland, 18, Roderick Nash, 20, Matthew Scheck, 20, and Lance Yunck, 17 have been unable to tell investigators where the motors came from. Chess said the five allegedly went out in separate groups each night,: mixing partners, running around neighborhoods "car fishing" trying the locks on car doors, trunk lids and truck boxes to see if any were open. All except Yunck have been charged with seven counts each of burglary and grand theft, and given $50,000 blanket bonds. Yunck, contrary to previous reports, has only single charges each of burglary and grand theft. The Lake Bonnet cases involve stolen full-size motors, trolling motors, fishing tackle, and also golf carts, to transport the other goods. Among the rash of burglaries reported in the last couple of Weeks, Chess has been amazed at the number of people who didn't lock their cars, or the neighbors who saw things being taken, but didn't call to report it until the next morning. Stolen items in some cases have included checkbooks, cellular phones and laptop computers. ** ******* ********************** ** * NOTICE TO ALL . * VETERANS * * Who Have Honorably Served Their * * Country In Time Of War or Peace * *Because of the distance of the National Cemetery In Florida, we *are assigning graves spaces n Veterans Garden of Honor as an Shonorably discharged veteran of the United States Armed Forces, * you may be qualified for free Burial Space.

These people were investi- gated and arrested by the Multi- Jurisdictional Task Force, which continues to investigate possession, sale and large scale trafficking of narcotics. The task force partnerships between the Drug Enforcement Administration; Florida Department of Law Enforcement; .Highlands, Okeechobee and Glades County sheriff's offices, and the Avon Park, Lake Placid and Sebring police departments has helped identify violators whose crimes rise to the level of feder- al prosecution. None of it would happen without local support, though. "Some of our most valuable tips come from concerned citi- zens," said Lt. Bobby Duncan with the Highlands County' Sheriff's Office. "They don't like (seeing) the drugs in their community." Chess urges everyone in the county to lock their car doors, trunks and tool boxes at night, as well as their homes and out- buildings. Stolen car not connected Chess said, contrary to earli- er reports, that the stolen car and stolen items recovered Tuesday night in Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Improvement District were not connected to the "car fishing." It was connected, however, to Aaron Bradley Loeb, 31, of Sebring. He was arrested and charged on Wednesday with uttering a forged instrument and petit theft in connection with a stolen Bank of America check- book. Citizen support and partner- ships help local law enforce- ment get cases referred to the U.S. Attorney. Some of the most recent drug and weapons cases now in federal court are: Clifton Alexander, distri- bution of crack cocaine; John Henry Alexander, distribution of crack cocaine; Kevin Cheatwood, cultiva- tion of marijuana; Kenny King, distribution of methamphetamine; Ray King, distribution of methamphetamine. Corey Wayne Makris, dis- tribution of methamphetamine; M Lonnie Richard North, possession of firearm by con- victed felon; Efrain Orduna and Antonio Orduna, distribution of crack cocaine; Tiger Peoples, possession of firearm by a convicted felon; John Henry Pough, distri- bution of crack cocaine; Chauncey Donnell Strong, distribution of crack cocaine; and ' Zully Valdez, conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. In each of these cases, the defendants are likely to serve an average of 10 years in federal prison. Highlands County Sheriff Being PREPARED ... is having peace of mind.

The Division of Forestry may help put the trees back. On Tuesday, Mike Eisenhart of Keep Highlands County Beautiful, presented the county commission with a grant agree- ment, which it approved. A hur- ricane relief grant from the Florida Department 'of Agriculture and Consumer Services will assist local landowners by helping pay to replace lost trees. These trees could always go on public property, he said. This is one of the first times a Division of Forestry grant can help restore trees on private property. Eisenhart said when people apply to have trees replaced, they can review a list of com- mon tree species with instruc- tion on how to care for the trees to make sure they survive and thrive. Commissioner Barbara Stewart asked Eisenhart to make sure people are told to plant trees away from power lines. Trees under or over power lines were a major prob- lem during last year's hurri- canes. There is no regulation right now to prevent people planting trees directly under or within falling distance of power lines. A draft ordinance has been reviewed by the Natural Resources Advisory Commission and sent on to the planning and zoning board. So far, there has been no action on it. Allegedly, such an ordinance could protect buried fiber optics and power lines as well as water and sewer mains from spread-, ing root systems. cific, they only would say the horses were located in northern and southeastern Polk. Highlands County Health Department Director Dr. Paula Thaqi advised the public to "remain diligent" in their per- sonal mosquito protection efforts. These should include the "5 D's and 1 S" for prevention: ' Dusk and Dawn Avoid being outdoors when mosqui- toes are seeking blood. For many species, this is during the dusk and dawn hours. Dress Wear clothing that covers all your skin. DEET When the poten- tial exists for exposure to mos- quitoes, repellents containing DEET are recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other experts suggest that it is acceptable to apply repellent with low con- centrations of DEET to infants over 2 months old. It is not rec- ommended to use on children younger than 2 months old. Infants should be kept indoors or mosquito netting should be used over carriers when mosquitoes are present. Always read the manufacturer's directions carefully before you put on a repellent. Drainage Check your home to rid it of standing water, which is where mosquitoes can lay their eggs. This includes eaves and gutters, old tires, empty plastic pots, boat tarps, bird baths and plant trays. Screens Make sure that windows remain closed or are sealed completely by screens at night. Thaqi said the Florida Department of Health continues to conduct statewide surveil- lance for mosquito-borne ill- nesses, including the West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, malaria and dengue.

While Highlands County commissioners look at prepar- ing an ordinance to exclude sexual offenders and sexual predators from hurricane shel- ters, the council will be consid- er a companion measure. The action fits with a plan suggested by Preston Colby of Florida Public Safety. He rec- ommended that each of the three municipalities adopt a local ordinance that would pro- hibit sexual offenders from being housed with the general population. Colby has suggested that the first violation of the ordinance would be met with a charge of trespassing. Subsequent viola- tions would carry charges of felony trespassing. As of yet, no ordinance has yet been crafted to deal with the potential problem. City attorney Mike Disler will be presenting the council with language that has come from a countywide measure the Highlands County Sheriff's Office wants the coun- ty commission to endorse. Disler wants to hear the council's thoughts on adopting a citywide ordinance to also deal with the issue. Sheriff Susan Benton sug- gested to county commissioners that sexual offenders could ride out hurricafies in the lobby of the county jail. Other business Representatives of the Avon Park Historical Society will address the council about desig- nating the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer as an historic site. "Right now we are trying to make the oldest buildings in the city historical sites," said his- torical society President Jean Jordan. "We want to get them on the National Register of Historic Places." City Manager C.B. Shirey will be presenting the council with information about the ben- efits of hiring a special master to expedite code enforcement cases more quickly than the current approach of taking them to court. Among other things, the council wants to know whether the special master would have to be an attorney. In the past, council members have expressed their unhappi- ness at the tortoise-like pace it has taken to resolve code viola- tions. Pamela Keil will update the council about her efforts to remove the Federal Emergency Management Agency's trailers from Avon Park. She is a hous- ing coordinator who has been working with FEMA and hurri- canes victims who were forced 'out of damaged homes due to last summer's hurricanes. Keil said she hoped that task would be accomplished by the end of the month. "Most of the people that were renters have been relocated," she said. Keil said she has been work- ing to get additional funding for repairs to some of the homes. In the meantime, several displaced residents have been moved out- side the Avon Park city limits. "We've put a couple families in a mobile home park in Sebring," Keil said. "The trav- el trailers themselves also have been moved out," As of Friday, about nine were left inside the city limits. Councilman George Hall wants return to the issue of the renaming of the city streets. Hall said the switch to new street names had cost the city $30,000 in signs alone. Conversations county commis- sioners left him to conclude that "they were as much in the dark about this as we were." In other action, the council will look at preliminary plat approval for the Grand Oaks at Lake Damon and Twin Lakes Pointe developments. They also will also consider entering into a collective bargaining agree- ment with the Police Benevolent Association. Jaxson's zoning coming back to county commission By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING On Tuesday, county commissioners will reconsider a zoning request from a Lake Placid restaurant. The owners of Jaxson's, 443 Lake June Road, have pur- chased the property next to it. Some residents have taken this as a sign that the restaurant is expanding. In the past, attorney Bert Harris III has assured county commissioners that his client - Phoenix Two of Highlands County is not expanding the restaurant. The corporation, owned by Don and Connie Davies, purchased the addition- al square footage in order to apply for more intense zoning for the restaurant. Harris hopes deed restric- tions he devised will alleviate the concerns county commis- sioners have had about chang- ing the zoning from B-2 . Commercial to B3-3 Commercial. That would make it possible for the restaurant to make sales on its back patio. Commissioners have expressed a willingness to vote in favor of the zoning change if the owners agree to certain con- ditions. One would be accepting deed restrictions on the property. The other would be to have a unity of title between the restaurant and the house the Davies own next door. Commissioners have also asked for buffers between the business and residences and no. external amplification. They want to review plans for light- ing and parking as well as any planned uses for the second house. On Friday, Harris said addi- tional parking will be in front of the second house. That would be vacated if the Davies find other land to use for parking. Commissioners, especially Commissioner Bob Bullard of Lake Placid, wanted to be sure the second house will not be sold in the future. Harris assured them it wouldn't. "The Vitamin Store" cN 130 N.

We have gone through the archives and pulled stories that we will share on future Sunday. Sit back and enjoy this Flash from the Past of Sept. 30, 1938. A combined meeting of the state hospital committee and members of the chamber of commerce was held Thursday evening at the Jacaranda Hotel. With Walter Betts in the chair reports were made on the progress made towards securing the state hospital branch here. Mr. Betts stated a number of let- ters had been received from members of the legislature, either giving their unqualified support or expressing a favor- able attitude. D. G. Perry reported on the trip made by himself and others to Tallahassee and Jacksonville to contact legislators. He stated he understood that 20 sites had been submitted but the one here in Avon Park is the only one with no strings attached and would be given free to the state. He added that much missionary work is still to be done and con- siderably more money will have to be expended. A. C. Slaughter, secretary of the Orlando Chamber of Commerce stated that Orlando and Orange county is not seek- ing the hospital, they have the tuberculosis sanitarium and pledged the full support of Orange county behind the efforts of Avon Park to secure the institution and promised all the help, possible. Mr. Slaughter later spoke briefly on the Orange Blossom Trail Association and then, on request, told something of the workings of the Orlando cham- ber of commerce. He said they have a publicity and promotion committee which plans ahead on a long term basis. All the business firms in the city are interested and derive many ben- efits from their membership. A live city will have a live chamber of commerce and in a dead city the chamber of com- merce will be dead, he said. A good chamber of commerce requires much hard work and you cannot pass the buck to your neighbor. The idea of a good chamber of commerce must be sold. Speaking of conventions he said that Orlando is seeking all it can get as conventions in the city benefits everyone and leave thousands of dollars among the merchants and business houses and they in turn get it into cir- culation. The merchants are saved considerable money each year, he said, by the working of a O- o f Sab 406.

In relation to tourists, the chamber classifies and answers a large number of letters and the various businesses, hotels, real estate men, etc., who might be interested are notified.

"It's a special thing that Coca-Cola put together and they've been traveling the country," mall manager Paul Loy said. There will be interactive games, a radio-controlled car demonstrations, photo opportu- nities plus appearances by Panoz Racing, the Sebring International Raceway as well as the Coca-Cola Harley Davidson motorcycles. "The Cub Scouts will run an event for radio-controlled cars in the old arcade. They'll also be selling hot dogs and Cokes out there," Highlands Coca- Cola Cold Drink District Sales Manager John Higgins said. Beverly Singley, of Cub Scout Pack 818 who will be doing the cooking, said the money will go to help the pack purchase an equipment trailer from their brother Boy Scoul organization. "We want to buy the trailer so we can carry our camping gear when we go to places like the Flaming Arrow Reservation. It's perfect for us but getting too small for the Boy Scout troop," she explained. "Then the Boy Scout troop can buy a bigger equipment trailer to meet their needs." Panoz Racing instructor Buzzy Roberts is slated to bring out one of the Panoz GT cars like the ones that run the series' season opener as a support race for the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring. The games are contained in a special trailer nicknamed the "Pit Boss." Inside are a half dozen 35-inch video screens. Two people per screen can com- pete in a virtual race on the Sony Playstation version of NASCAR Thunder. The motor- cycles are customized eight- foot long Harley-Davidson Road Kings with sidecars shaped like a Coke bottle. Made by Craftsman Industries, the sidecars double as coolers for Coca-Cola. "We won't be doing that at the mall though," said spokesman Josh Pate.. "We'll use them for a photo op." That means people will be able to actually sit on the cus- tomized bike. SNOB Continued from 1A sinking, some more seriously than others. Kiefer's house was particu- larly hard hit. Four years ago she needed to jack it up, which cost approxi- mately $4,000. And then she needed to fix all the cracks and the roof, as well as paint the interior and attend to other problems caused by the sinking of the building. All for more thousands of dollars. Last November, when cracks began reappearing and the back door would no longer shut, Kiefer had to send for the engi- neers once again. The news was bad. Over time, the muck beneath Kiefer's house had dried out and then been resoaked, over and over. When the muck dried, during times of drought, it com- pressed, causing the house to sag. With heavy rain, the resoaked muck would raise and the house shift back, adding more stress. Then, last year's hurricane season raised the water table of the lake, which hastened the process and brought matters to a head. More problems were discov- ered at points where additions had been built onto the house. Some of the additions had been intentionally constructed, in order to match up to the parts which had already sunk. There was no way to make correc- tions. Kiefer was looking at having to put in pins every three feet, and pilings sunk to 30 feet, and there was no guarantee they would work. Just to have anchoring pins and the pilings put in place would have cost $70,000 to do the entire home. This would still cause more cracking ifi the interior, which would have brought the entire figure to more than $100,000. She struggled with the deci- sion in the beginning. Her mother had died a year ago, and it was hard to let go of memo- ries. But as she packed all of her belongings from her home into storage units, and the cracks widened, it became easier to let go. "It's not too sad," said Bonnie Kesselring, a friend of Kiefer's who works with her at Lampe & Kiefer Hearing Aid Center in Sebring, where Kiefer is the owner of the business. "She's sick of the dirt and the headaches, and looking forward to the new." Once the house is removed, contractors will excavate, the organic muck and remove it. Then they'll bring in clean sand, backfill the area, and compact it for a new founda- tion, having raised the grade by two feet. This will cost $40,000. Even though her home was insured, her policy does not cover anything underground, such as muck. "It's like a pre- existing condition, and insur- ance doesn't cover it," Kiefer said. Kiefer plans to build a 2 1/2 story home totaling 4,000 square feet. The foundation work will start July 8 and Kiefer hopes to be in her new home by the end of November. BIRD Continued from 1A named because it feeds almost exclusively on apple snails. In the United States, it resides only in peninsular Florida on flooded marshes, shal-, low lakes and along freshwater courses the habitat of apple snails. The semi-nomadic, sight- feeding snail kite is one of the world's most spe- cialized medium-sized raptors. Historically, snail kites were found from the Everglades to just southeast of Tallahassee, but wetland drainage and development eliminated or altered its shallow freshwater habitat. The species was listed as endangered in 1967, when its num- bers plunged to 20. Because of its dependence on a single food source, many factors affect the snail kite's ability to survive. Apple snails commonly adhere to bul- rush, cattail and pickerelweed stems where they feed on algae. When these plants become extremely dense, snail kites are unable to pene- trate the thick mass to feed. During drought conditions, apple snails bury in mud bottoms and become dormant until favor- able water levels return. The snail kites are then forced to leave and try to find a more suitable. area to feed. With development and wetland drainage, these areas are rapidly diminishing. Even natural seasonal changes can threaten .'. -nesting success. During high or low water fluctu- ation periods, nests constructed in bulrush and cattails often collapse into the water for lack of structural support. If we clean it, they will come Studies have shown that lake drawdowns and habitat enhancement projects afford long-range benefits for the snail kite, even though they may disturb them in the short run. Lake drawdowns have been proven to be beneficial for sediment reduction, desirable plant life, gamefish abun- dance, angler success rates and overall water quality. / Lake Istokpoga, 'designated a Fish Management Area in 1998, has received much attention, funding and work from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. A multi- million dollar habitat restoration project in 2001 included a drawdown, and cleanup and removal of thousands of acres of tussocks and other inva- sive plant species. While the primary goal of the cleanup is to improve spawning grounds for fish and increase gamefish health and abundance, it appears that reducing clogged vegetation helps all types of wild birds. In the case of the snail kites, apple snails flourish in the more widely dispersed marsh vegetation. Lucky observers who see a snail kite in action will notice a bird resembling a small osprey fly- ing over shallow marshes scattered with shrubs and trees. When it spots a snail, it swoops down, extends its legs into the water and briefly hovers while it grasps the snail with its talons. While still in flight, or after landing on a nearby perch, the kite uses its thin, hooked bill to pull the snail ^ RACE ,-',.. Ab. Continued from 1A This snail kite, a rare and endangered bird that reached brink of extinction in this . country in the 1960s, ,- has recently been spot- ted in trees around 1* :. Lake Istokpoga. At left | " is an adult male snail kite as seen on the U.S. . Geological Survey (U.S. Department of the Interior) Web site. Photo by ROB BENNETTS/USGS from its shell. This narrow, down-curved bill has developed through evolution for feeding on snails and little else. It is never used for hunting and gathering; the kite seizes its prey with its toes, just as the osprey hooks fish with its talons. Although the Florida snail kite population is now estimated to number about 1,000, the bird is still listed as endangered, because their popula- tion fluctuates-so much due to habitat conditions. It is illegal to disturb nesting birds in any way. Even members of Florida's agencies who manage and protect their habitat cannot approach a nest. Demmi had to take his photos from a boat at long range. If you are on or near the lake and think you may see a kite, look for a medium-sized bird of prey with a distinctive white patch at the base of the tail, ending in a dark band with a narrow white edge. Males are uniformly dark gray; females and juveniles are brownish 'with a streaked breast and light eyebrow and cheek patch. If it is a Florida snail kite, keep your distance and realize what a privilege it is to have such a rare bird back in your midst. chase, calling on other law enforcement agencies. He caught the cars again on U.S. 27 at the intersection of Sun 'N Lake Boulevard. "I pulled behind the white Honda," Livesay wrote in his narrative. "The driver of the vehicle, Tejada, began to pull from the far left lane to the far right lane yielding to me." However, the gray Toyota, driven by Hector Solis, contin- ued north on U.S. 27 for a time, finally pulling in to the parking lot of the Kegel Bowling Center. He then drove back out onto the highway, went through a turnaround on U.S. 27 and pulled into the parking lot of the doctors' complex across the street frdm Kegel where a Highlands County sheriff's deputy made a traffic stop. When Livesay asked Mario Tejada Solis for his driver license and registration, he advised the Sebring man he was being stopped for racing on the highway. "He spontaneously uttered that he should not have done that," Livesay wrote. Mario Tejada Solis then told Livesay he did not have a Florida driver license, only one from his native country of Peru. But the 20-year-old Sebring man didn't have that license with him either. He also reportedly told the officer his name was Mario R. Solis. But when Livesay checked the information through dispatch, he was told no license was shown for that name. A search of Tejada's car also uncovered a small brown iden- tification holder. Livesay said although the alien registration card had a picture that appeared to be Tejada, the name on the card was Mario Rivas. The offi- cer also uncovered what he deemed to be a false Social Security card in the Rivas name. Later, Livesay found a wallet with a couple of Visa credit cards, one in the name of Mary Winter the other in the name of Donald Aubrey. Tejada said the wallet was not his. Tejada was charged both with street racing and having no valid driver license. He was booked into the Highlands County Jail where he was released on $500 bond. It was last Sunday when a street racing incident ended in tragedy after one of the partici- pants hit the railroad crossing on State Road 17 just north of the Sebring city limits and lost control of his car. Killed were 20-year-old Daniel Mercado and his. 19- year-old girlfriend Irenesse Mercado. The driver in the second car involved in that incident, 19- year-old Luis Alexander Zapata, has been charged with two counts of vehicular homi- cide and a single count of rac- ing on the highway. He remains free on $2,500 bond. Hobby Hill Jeu Now is the time! Bring in yourjewefry repairs. Most done in a matter of dails! Yoted Best Jewelr} Store - 541 N.

Business PAGE 13A + SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2005 TOFFIN9 IT WITH TUFFLEY Christopher Tuffley Getting the point This week, I did no heavy lifting, or long distance run- ning, but by the end of the assignment I was soaked through with sweat and a nerv- ous wreck. That's because I actually drew a tattoo on another per- son's arm using permanent ink and a very sharp needle. Wesley Pate, who is a tattoo artist at T.A.T.S. in Lakeshore Mall, bravely (kindly, foolish- ly, masochistically) offered up his arm for me'to practice on, while T.A.T.S. owner, a tattoo artist in his own right, Eric Labadie, supervised. I have to say that giving a tattoo is a whole lot easier than getting a tattoo. Not that I have firsthand knowledge this is one body that's going out of this world the same way it came into it, free of billboards, advertising or even fine art. But I didn't feel a thing, except anxious, when I worked, while there were a couple of times Pate tensed up. Of course there also was the time he bellowed, "Ow," in a voice that could be heard down in the Sears Automotive Center, causing me to jump in alarm and nearly tattoo a line up his arm.' But he was only kidding that time, to the delight of a handful of onlook- ers. See POINT, page 15A NEWS-SUN + SEBRING, FLA.

"This is our first time here, and it has our winning vote," Douglas Crivello said. POINT Continued from 13A I hadn't expected to tattoo a living person when I got this assignment, by the way. I thought I'd be working on an orange, or rawhide chew toy or something meant to resemble real skin, so I was shocked when Labadie pulled out a razor and shaved Pate's arm just above the wrist, pointing out the area to me. Within an elaborate, larger design, there was a blank spot, with a small capital letter B near the bottom. It turns out Pate had been planning to add a design to the space which also would cover the letter, and Labadie had talked him into letting me do the honors. Lucky me. Lucky him. Once the arm is shaved and cleaned, the design is either drawn freehand, using felt-tip markers, or a stencil is trans- posed onto thermal paper and applied directly to the skin. Then Labadie showed me how to load a sterilized, dis- posable needle into the tattoo machine. It's not too different from loading a shell into a shotgun. The machine itself, looks like a miniature Rube Goldberg machine with wires and coils all interconnecting, and is based on an electric engraving pen invented by Thomas Edison. The business end, the end with the needle, looks like a thick steel ball point pen and is about an inch in diameter and about four to five inches long. It is connected to a power pack providing electrical current in the same way points did on automobiles before fuel injec- tion. This means there is oscil- lating current which rapidly, and repeatedly, drives the nee- dle in and out of the skin, typi- cally 50 to 3,000 times a minute. The needle slides in and out of a hollow tube, which is filled regularly with ink, just like an old fashioned quill pen. The ink then rides the needle into the skin. The ink is poured into small containers, and what' is not used is thrown away. . The machine operates with a foot pedal, leaving the tattoo artist's hands free for work. The customer sits, with feet up when possible, and the artist uses a wheeled stool, to get up close. The body part has to be gripped firmly, with the skin drawn tight. Then you apply the needle. Outlines are done first, then dark colors added, and finally the lighter colors added for highlight. I worked only in black, because Pate had chosen a trib- al design. I was told to start at the out- side corners and work always toward the middle and in the same direction. A lot of ink is released, and in seconds, you can no longer see the outline. Paper towels and green soap are used to keep the area wiped off. So you work a bit, pause, wipe, and work some more. I found the outline easier to do than the fill-in work, which surprised me. That was because the fill-in work is done by making small circles, over and over, like filling in a color- ing book. But that means you have to By SUE ANN CARPENTER News-Sun correspondent SEBRING Value, taste, and service: That's Pizzano's promise. Sam Marhi may be new to the area, but not to the pizza business. For 15 years he's owned pizza parlors in Detroit. In Florida, there's Lake Wales and now Sebring, where he plans to set the standard. "I have plenty of experience and all our doughs and sauces are made from scratch. Nothing is pre-made. Everything is done in-house. That's what sets us apart," Marhi said. At Pizzano's, you can dine in, carry out, or call for a deliv- ery. There are 15 toppings, five press down with firm, but gen- tle, pressure and the skin moves underneath the needle, which is a little creepy. One problem I had was not pressing down hard enough. That may not sound too bad, but it meant the ink wasn't get- ting into the skin, so when I wiped the excess away, the result was nonexistent, or too light. Trust me, if you want to be a success as a tattoo artist, it's best to get it right on the first pass. Repeatedly going over the same ground not only hurts, it damages the skin and can lead to scarring. You'll never get repeat customers. In fact, neither Pate nor Labadie seemed.to think I had a future in the field, although I did get points for not fainting. Next week Christopher Tuffley builds a firecracker for the Fourth of July.

The latest numbers released by the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation, Labor market statistics show a 3.4 percent unemployment rate for the month of May. That is better than the 4.2 percent in May 2004 and the 3.6 percent joblessness regis- tered in April of this year. The report con- tinues to show the actual numbers of people employed in the labor force continues to increase as well. In May of last year there were 35,524 members of the 37,093 workforce on the job, that swelled to 40,111 out of 41,512 last month. The 3.4 percent joblessness is the best in the Heartland of Florida and also ranks as the lowest ever recorded in Highlands County. The figures also undercut both the statewide and national unemployment aver- ages. The unemployment numbers come at a time where there are continuing reports of business expansions and new startups in the county. Officials of Focus of Tampa are preparing to hire staff for the new Arby's restaurant to open in Avon Park. That has been remodeled from a former Hardee's restaurant location on U.S. 27 near the intersection of State Road 64. Owners had hoped to have it open during June but were delayed by construction issues. Also ready to break ground is the new Denny's to be located adjacent to the Holiday Inn Express on U.S. 27 in Sebring. Officials of ZMC also plan to start work next month on the Residence Inn, Highlands County's newest hotel. Under construction near the intersection of U.S. 27 and Shumacher Road is the newest Highlands County location of Walgreen Drug Store. Florida's statewide unemployment aver- age was good, coming in under the nation- al average while the Sunshine State led the top 10 states in the rate of employment growth. In fact, last month's 4.0 statewide job- lessness rate was the lowest experienced by Florida since February 2001. Statistics show the 349,000 Floridians out of work is the lowest number since September 2001. Professional and business services con- tinued to lead the super sectors in employ- ment growth over the year adding more than 57,000 jobs. Education and health services posted the next greatest job gains along with trade, transportation and utili- ties. Employment in the leisure and hospitali- ty industry continued to exhibit solid, over- the-year job growth. Officials report employment in that sector has shown such .increases since June 2002. Accommodation and food services accounted for most of the job gains. n' yi i'/'iirnoi'e.rii a I i, t l : *'" Itt ('41'f y (i~i<'ntf'.ff fld f ai Wrota iewp? tip? 4 C Call the Nevvs-Suir Sebruig -35-6155 Avon Park 4-5Z-1009 Lake Placid 4-65-04Z6 Advanced Air Systems of Highlands County, Inc. 863-385-2665 Lic. # CAC035572 www~dvanedanrhemtea~ne I - News-Sun, Sunday, June 26, 2005 16A (Sebring e5igms j,,,,h, Profflotjofi8 Ticket for 863-471-1800 all your 0 Sign & Advertising Specialties We appreciate your business all year long! pprec"I" Yaur I Nes-un Sudy Jun 26 205 Highlands County Commission Agenda June 28, 2005 1.

I considered that some peo- ple might be tired of the tale. I also wondered if the kindest thing would be to leave the family in peace. There has been an over- whelming amount of press about Terri, even after her untimely death. Why add to it? But the more I thought about it, the more I was compelled to pen a last thought or two as the story winds if not to a close, perhaps to a new chapter. Sadly, I do not see a future of peace or closure for the Schindlers, Terri's parents, or her husband, Michael. These people are so far apart they make the Republican and Democratic parties look like blood brothers. It is Michael's actions I wish to speak of today. Specifically, the words he had inscribed Great service at imaging office Editor: To the newly established CT & MRI Imaging office, located at 6801 U.S. 27 North, Building E, Sebring. I would like to express my deep gratitude for the profes- sional and caring treatment I received. Your thoughtfulness and courteous service is a plus for this community. Carolyn Cobb Avon Park her date she "departed this Earth" as Feb. 25, 1990 the day she suffered brain damage. He puts the date she died of dehydration, March 31, 2005, as the day she was "at peace." To top things off, he has added one additional sentence to the marker: "I kept my promise." Choosing a grave marker can be an emotional decision. I know this. It is something that you and fellow loved ones will look at when they come to visit and pay their respects. Even so, I would think that a man who was apparently so prepared for this would have given some consideration to others besides himself. Let's take the two dates for starters. Schiavo says Terri "departed this Earth" the day she suffered whatever it was that caused her brain damage. In other words, as far as he is concerned, she really died that day. What of his claims in court that he needed the money from the malpractice suit to care for his disabled wife? What of the touching story the media has put out that he went into nurs- ing so he would be better pre- pared to care for her? ,If she were dead, why all that? Or is it more convenient now for him to think that if she died in 1990, he did not orchestrate her death in 2005? Maybe all this also makes the second statement real to him. "I kept my promise." He claims that Terri wanted to die if she were in this condition. Few people came forward to support his claim, and other people said that Terri felt the opposite way. Can you keep a promise you never made? But OK, let's give Schiavo the benefit of,the doubt for a few minutes. Apparently he takes great pride in keeping a promise to his wife, given he's had it carved into her grave marker for people to see in years to come. But if it was so important for him to keep his promises, why did he not keep all of them? Which promises do I speak of? The ones you hear in almost every wedding ceremony. You know, "For better, for worse, in 'sickness and in health." You know. Those promises. Those promises seem to have been forgotten as he took up with another woman, fathering a child with her. Marriage vows? What marriage vows? "Laura," you may be asking me, "What, did you really expect him to remain without female companionship all these years?" Why, yes, that is what I expected. After all, keeping a promise to his wife is such a big deal to him. Why does one promise count more than the others? If he were going to be honest, he would have inscribed on the marker, "I kept the promises I wanted to keep." Yes, it sounds less noble. But it is far more accurate.

S. - 0 - - - - a a a Veterans, let's talk about pensions. If you qualify, the Veterans Administration will pay you money you have earned for serv- ing our nation. If you are a spouse of a deceased veteran, you may also qualify. So how do you know if you are qualified? First, let's look at what a pension is. A VA pension is a VA program to provide a level of established financial support to wartime veterans or their widows, based on financial need. If you follow the chart below you will see the maximum amount the VA says you should be getting each year. So let's take a look at the chart. (Note: These dollar amounts are from 2003.) Veteran $10,162 Veteran with one dependent $13,309 VETERANS AFFAIRS DAVE SIMPSON Veteran house bound $12,419 Veteran house bound with one dependent $15,566 Veteran needing aid and attendance $16,955 Veteran needing aid, attendance with one dependent $20,099 Note: If you are in need of aid and attendance or home bound, make an appointment to go see the veterans services office. No matter how much money you make. The chart shows several categories a veteran can be considered as. For example: If you are a veteran needing aid and attendance, the VA says you should make no less than $16,955. If you need aid and attendance and have a dependent, then you should make no less than $20,099. If you are a veteran with one dependent you should make no less than $13,309. How does this work? First, you must add all income received; then subtract all medical expenses; get your total, and if you bring in less than the amount on the chart above then you are eligible for a pension. For example: Mr. Jones is a World War II veteran. He is married so he has one dependent. His Social Security check each month is $500. His wife's Social Security check is $450 a month. He gets a small pension from XYZ Company of $250 a month. This equals $1,200 a month in income. He and his wife paid $350 a month on medications. They paid $50 a month on health insurance. So together they paid $400 a month on medical care. Take the $1,200 they made (income) and subtract $400 they spent (medical care) and you get $800. This $800 is what you use to calculate your pen- sion from the VA. So you look at the chart and see a veteran with one dependent should have $13,309 income annually or $1,109 monthly. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have $800. So we take $1,109 and subtract $800. Mr. and Mrs. Jones could receive a check for about $309 a month from the VA. This is a little confusing I know. Remember this: If you are close to the above amount or you have high medical bills that you pay out of pocket, you should see the veteran services office. Call for an appointment, please. It is the DAV's goal to help veterans get the benefits we fought for serving our country. The numbers to the Highlands County Veteran Services Office are: Sebring 402-6623, Avon Park 453-7538, ext. 6623, or Lake Placid 465-2464, ext. 6623.

I Liestyle PAUSE AND CONSIDER Jan Merop A word to the wise "A word to the wise is sufficient." I heard this proverb from my parents often when I was growing up. Sometimes the words and meaning blurred togeth- er, but eventually, they hit home mostly through example. My mom adjusted to my father's changing work schedule. During the week of his afternoon shift, we had a hot meal as a family at lunch time. When he worked other shifts, different adjust- ments came into play. When he couldn't accom- pany us to certain functions, we complained and com- pared our family to those whose dad was along. Mom explained that she missed him, too. But, this was the work God had supplied. Then she'd tell me, "Someday when you get married, don't compare yourself with other wives. You come alongside your husband in his work and accept it as part of your mar- riage." As I grew in my under- standing, I came to appreci- ate the value inherent in the adage, "A word to the wise is sufficient." So what then is wisdom and who is this "wise" one who needs only to hear the truth once? Wisdom can be described as knowing.how to take knowledge and apply it prac- tically, responsibly and pro- ductively. It is applying truth. I saw how my Mom responded to my Dad's work schedule as a blessing with all of its inconveniences - and made our home function around it. Our whole family grew in acceptance, respect and grace. The one who is wise makes decisions in light of the future, not just the pres- ent. He watches how others choose, listens to sound teaching and then takes steps to walk in a similar way for an outcome that blesses. Another look at the word "wisdom" in Hebrew reveals a "hearing heart." When one's heart is open to hear- ing truth, that person com- prehends the meaning and takes action. "Then you will understand what is right and just and fair every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." (Proverbs 2: 9-11, NIV) So when one hears the word of wisdom and gains understanding, receiving and responding, he is wise and that word is enough. God wants us to be wise. In James 1:5 we're told that if we lack wisdom we should ask God and he will give it generously. In James 3: 17, we recognize godly wisdom because it is pure, peace-lov- ing, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. And, isn't it interesting, that when Ken and I mar- ried, I did have to adjust to a work schedule that didn't give my husband every weekend off. Sometimes I had to attend Saturday func- tions alone or creatively work family times around an unpredictable calendar. Scripture and mom's words ring true "A word to the wise is sufficient." Selah.

INSIDE Crossword 2B Dear Abby 2B Horoscope 3B SECTION B + SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2005 Too many people just walk away By SUE ANN CARPENTER News-Sun correspondent Abandoned cars are a problem even in Highlands County. Inevitably time and miles take their toll until it's no longer practi- cal to make repairs. The accepted practice is to trade them in, or head for the junk- yard. But an increasing number of people simply park their broken vehicles at the side of the road ... and walk away. Assistant Law Enforcement Bureau Commander J.P. Fane (an 11-year veteran with the Highlands County Sheriff's Office) said "sometimes aban- doned cars are reported and sometimes a deputy just spots them on routine patrol." Either way, they follow specific pro- cedures. First the vehicle iden- tification number is checked to be sure no crime has been committed using the car, and that it is not stolen. "Whether it's a piece of junk or a newer car, we do a cursory check and place a red tag on it with a date and time. The Florida State Statute says (obstructing traffic on a right of way) they have.48 hours to get this car off the roadway or it will be towed at the owner's expense," Fane said. If the car is stolen or was involved in a crime, the agency with jurisdiction is contacted. Once it's towed in, it's processed for evidence, and the people involved are located. Any items found in the car are checked in as evidence and then returned to the rightful owner. "I make no judgment as to people's situations. Sometimes they're trying to do a repair and then everything just goes downhill. If it is not a crime scene, but simply abandoned, then one of the five towing companies we use is stuck with all the procedures required by our state," Fane said. JARRETT BAKER/News-Sun Bob Dombroski, owner of Artistic Towing in Sebring, stands amongst several abandoned vehicles.towed to his lot. Contrary to popular belief, towing abandoned cars is not a profitable business. The laws which are designed to protect the vehicle owner provides no compensation for the towing company other than the little they can sell cars for after a drawn-out process. Frank Celentano at Buckeye Towing in Sebring has been in SUE ANN CARPENTER/News-Sun Abundio Rodriguez lifts and maneuvers a load into the EZ Crusher at Jim's Auto Salvage in Sebring. It is capable of crushing 80-100 cars per day when it is necessary to thin out cars from the salvage yard. Jim's Auto Salvage ships 300 loads a year to Tampa. the business for 30 years. "The highway patrol, sher- iff's office and city police use about five of us towing compa- nies on a rotation basis. We all have a saying: 'I wonder how much this one is going to cost us.' The car's usually on the side of the road and it's a haz- ard. Just think ... as you're driving along, you don't expect an abandoned car to be sitting there. Sometimes they're par- tially on the road and people have to swerve to miss them," Celentano said. According to the 2002 law, specific steps must be fol- lowed. "With diesel fuel at $2.35, I cringe when we get a call at night or on the weekend, because I then have to pay a driver overtime. Depending on the distance, the minimum towing charge is $85. Sometimes it's dumped out by the Kissimmee River on 98. That's how far we have to go. See PEOPLE, page 3B SUE ANN CARPENTER/News-Sun An abandoned car sits at Jim's Auto Salvage in Sebring.

Our lan- guage would be so much poor- er. It wouldn't sound the same to say that person talks a kilo- meter a minute, or a miss is as good as a kilometer. No, I like the word "mile," and so do many authors whose books are available for your education and entertainment in our Heartland Library Cooperative libraries. Children will enjoy the Tony Johnston picture book of his boyhood memories of the excitement of having a train pull into the town of Jacksonville, Texas. This true train tale is called "How Many Miles to Jacksonville?" Older elementary school stu- dents will take to the engaging story by Thelma Wyss called "Ten .? Miles from ' Winnemucca." A confused teenager .S A thinks he can resolve his feelings about his mom's remarriage by 4 taking his Jeep and his savings and driv- ing until his money runs out. Martin ends LIBRAl up in a small town in - Idaho, eventually los- Ca ing his Jeep but find- Hes ing out, "no matter where I found myself. I would always be just ten miles from Winnemucca in my heart." Travel fiction buffs should check off the Robert Randisi Miles Jacoby series, including "Hard Look." In that book, bar owner and private investigator Miles Jacoby jour- Pi_; neys to Florida to A locate a bodybuilder wife. He discovers S she is involved in . much more than bodybuilding. There are many ways to travel, and .,' the most elementary RY LINES one is explored in - Amby Burfoot's rolyn "The Principles of 'selink Running: Practical -- Lessons from my First 100,000 Miles." This guide is practical, inspira- tional, and philosophical, and it offers insights into all aspects of running, including diet, injuries, weather, mental prepa- ration and marathons. Progress in travel meant let- ting someone or something else do the work, as described in Carrie Strahom's "Fifteen Thousand Miles by Stage: A Woman's Unique Experience During 30 Years of Path Finding and Pioneering from the Missouri to the Pacific and from Alaska to Mexico." You might go a bit faster and pay a lot less if you were on a boat. N. H. Bishop's journey taken in 1875 is called "Four Months in a Sneak-Box: A Boat Voyage of 2600 Miles Down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and Along the Gulf of Mexico." "One Horse, One Hundred Miles, One Day: The Story of the Tevis Cup Endurance Ride" details the mountainous terrain and portrays the spirit of the competitors and the travail that the riders endured not to men- tion the horses! Kayakers rejoice! Kira Salak has written "The Cruelest Journey: 600 Miles to Timbuktu." Salak followed the 200-year-old trail of Scottish explorer Mungo Park, who attempted to paddle down the Niger River to Timbuktu. Salak's trip was a bit different as she used an inflatable kayak, but it was no less hair-raising! Travel to another continent in "A Hundred Miles of Bad Road: An Armored Cavalryman in Vietnam, 1967-68" by part- Cherokee Army volunteer Dwight Birdwell. This one-time teenager hellion was assigned to a tank unit north of Saigon and eventually was caught in the Tet Offensive of 1968. The "Publisher's Weekly" review says, "Reflecting on his wartime experiences and their aftermath, Birdwell, who became a lawyer, and, for a time, Chief Justice of the Cherokee Nation, says: 'When I die, if there's anyone around who remembers me, the only thing I want them to say is that I was a soldier.'"

PEOPLE Continued from 1B Then we store it and are allowed to charge $20 per day. But most people never claim their car, so we don't get paid," Celentano said. "We're required to immediately send a certified letter to the last regis- tered owner. I also have to run an ad in the paper for two weeks, making sure we did everything possible to notify the' owner. When we place a lien on a car, the owner is required, to pay the bill before he can register an other vehicle. When most of them discover there is a lien, they just put their next car's title in another fami- ly member's name so they don't have to pay us. Finally, it costs us $35 to get a destruction title from the state. So after we've towed it arid stored it for the required 36 days, and run a two-week ad, we get $50 for it at the salvage yard. We never get paid for 75 percent of the abandoned cars we tow." Celentano explained that the car owners who abandoned their vehicles are well aware of the laws, and if not he makes sure he informs them. "This morning I got one with Maine tags, so I can't even lien it. The engine gave out. It's junk. Most cars are stripped of all their belongings and worth- less when they get to us. I'm a compassionate person, but most of these people just don't care. And over the years it has gotten worse. If there's not a plate on the car, which is the norm ... you'll never see the owners. These people know the drill. When I send the certified letter, I automatically enclose the lien law," Celentano said. Nothing left Another assumption is that there are a lot of interesting items found in these orphan cars, but that is rarely true and certainly nothing of value is ever left. Beverly Ragland, the owner of Ducks Towing, said, "They generally don't have insurance, and surprisingly, most don't even possess a driver's license when we ask for identification. If you're a normal, decent per- son, you know what tow fees are. But these people make a decision: 'I'll just leave it on the road, so it won't cost me.' The only time we ever get paid is if the car is from a 'buy here, pay here' place like Chaney's Used Cars or Sebring Motor Sales. People will drive a car for four or five weeks and when it breaks down, they just aban- don it. They are angry that they still owe money and usually beat the windows out, thinking they'll tear the car up first before'it goes back to the deal- er," Ragland said. Bob .Vonvroski at Artistic Towing in Sebring said, "They junk their cars, take the motor out, and take anything of value. This is how they choose to make their problems go away. We're lucky if even 10 percent are worth anything. Usually all that's in them is food wrappers, trash, and needles." Vonvroski said he got one car that was burned up. "The owner had killed someone in Tampa. They chased him down here, where he abandoned the car in the woods and then took off." He echoed comments made from other owners of towing companies by saying these peo- ple drive with a suspended license or no license at all. "They just do not care. Oh, they scream and holler, but they never take responsibility. It's always someone else's fault. Come on, what normal person would look you in the eye and say they 'lost' their car for a week? Would you claim to have loaned your car to a friend on drugs? People have said 'I left $1,000 in cash under the front seat ... you switched tires on me.' They all try different sto- ries," Vonvroski said. According to Towing Magazine, 75,000 cars were towed in just one month in Philadelphia. In Sebring, each of the five towing companies probably tow at least 100 aban- doned vehicles a year. "Sometimes code enforce- ment calls because people skipped and left a car at an apartment, even at the welfare office, or they wrecked a car," Vonvroski said. "No one ever wants to pay. Most of these people don't work. Granted, some have had bad luck. But they're not the typical ones." Final resting place The final resting place of abandoned vehicles (if no one claims them from the towing company) is a salvage yard. Arnold Belcher at Jim's Auto Salvage of Sebring typically only pays $50 for an abandoned car. "It's been stripped before we ever get it ... and we've never found any dead bodies. We do check for toxic items, like propane cylinders, for example. We crush these junk cars here and then they go to Trademark, a company located at the Port of Tampa where a shredder then' makes them into fist-sized pieces. From their conveyor it's put on a barge and goes to Texas where it is melted and recycled .into rebar and then ironically returns to Florida for our booming construction busi- ness," Belcher said. Jim's Auto Salvage crushes 80-100 cars per day when it is necessary to thin out cars from the salvage yard. Normally a car is placed in the crusher with its top open so that other loose material, like appliances, can then be stacked inside. Then another car is added to the top of that pile, making it like a sandwich. This makes a bundle of pressed cars. There are four bundles on a load, and Jim's Auto Salvage ships 300 loads a year to Tampa. owo S adk "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content - Available from Commercial News Providers" a,,.- .0 0 ,,4w * - m 0*" - & Huddleston's Barber Shop L We Have Mo ved , Same Great Service New Location (next to the old Outlet Mall) COME BY AND SEE US SOON 2760 US 27 North Sebring Plaza 402-0008 (863) (863) (863) 382-3 157 471-6817 381-8(0 36 Office Home Cell HIG HLANDS PFROPERTIES, SAttend the Church of Your Choice!

During a three-hour CBS special Tuesday night, the American Film Institute announced the top 100 movie quotes of the last 100 years. The top line, picked by a jury of 1,500 movie artists, critics and historians: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." The AFI compiles lots of "100 best lists" as a way of pointing out movies that have made a significant impact on the culture and are especially worthy of preserving. Test your knowledge of great movie lines Here's a quiz to challenge film lovers. Quotes are below. Name the movie in which they were spoken. If you can also name the actor who spoke them and the year of release, feel free to tell your friends how smart you are. (You can find the answers at the end of the quiz, or you can go to the AFI's Web site at http://www.afi.com to read all of 100 lines on the list. 1. "What we've got here is a fail- ure to communicate." 2. "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." It's new "100 Best Movie Quotes" list is no exception. As the AFI points out, movie dialogue is quoted and requoted as it makes its way into the national lexicon and become an endur- ing part of American culture. That's why all of the movies came from American films. They were released before Jan. 1, 2004, and were all 60 minutes or longer the typical length of a feature film. Who hasn't heard the top most quotable lines spoken outside a movie theater? From "The Godfather," the sec- ond-ranked quote: "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." Number three, from "On the Waterfront": "You don't understand! I could been a contender. I could've 3. "I'm mad as nell. and I'm not going to take it anymore!" 4. "Show me the money!" 5. "I'm walking here! I'm walking here!" 6. "You can't handle the truth!" 7. "I'll have what she's having." 8. "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" 9. "We rob banks." 10.'Oh. Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars." 11."A boy's best friend is his moth-. er." 12."Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into." 13."Say 'hello' to my little friend." been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am." "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," the fourth- ranked quote from "The Wizard of Oz." And number five, one of the famous lines of all time: "Here's look- ing at you, kid" from "Casablanca." As a matter of trivia, the oldest quote to make the list (number 71) comes from the first piece of dialogue ever heard in a feature film "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothing' yet." It was spoken by Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer" (1927). And the most recent quote? "My precious!" The character: Gollum. The movie: "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" (2002). 14."Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" 15."Mothier of mercy, is this the end of Rico?" 16."I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." 17."Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make." 18."Sawyer, you're going out a youngster, but you've got to come back a star!" 19,"My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. And I thank you." 20."I'm king of the world!" Answers 1. "Cool Hand Luke.' Paul Newman. 1967 (1ith) 2. "Sunset Boulevard." Gloria What's the AFI? The nonprofit American Film Institute was established in 1967 by the National Endowment for the Arts. It preserves and catalogs American film and television, provides grades to novice and experienced filmmakers, and increas- es an understanding of film as art. AFI's headquarters are in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It has an archives of films at the Library of Congress and various museums. The Web site is at http://www.afi.com. The most quotable actor was Humphrey Bogart, who had 10 quotes on the original ballot of about 400 lines. Al Pacino and the Marx Brothers were second with six each, while Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Jimmy Stewart, Woody Allen and Jack Nicholson all made the list five times. Billy Wilder was the writer with the most quotes with 13 on the ballot. Francis Ford Coppola had nine lines Swanson. 1950. 117th) 3. "Network." Peter Finch. 1976. (19th) 4. "Jerry Maguire."

The ballot had 19 movies lines from that year. Reading the list of great lines is enough to make you want to see some of these movies all over again or for the first time.

June 26, 2005 7B Understanding Florida's most widely seen rodent First in a series The Highlands County Master Gardeners office has received several inquiries about squirrels and how to control the problems they cause. At the Extension Services Web page of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences, I found much information about them. Of the 94 species of wild mammals that are native to Florida, none are more frequently encountered than squirrels. They belong to the most suc- cessful and widespread order in the world rodents. One of the main differences between squirrels and most rodents is that squir- rels have a large bushy tail. They also have well-developed jaw muscles and chisel-like front teeth that can chew through just about anything. In Florida, a female squirrel usually produces two litters of two to four off- spring each year. The first arrives in January or February, the second in mid-summer. Young squirrels mature slowly for rodents and are on their own in about two months. Most of Florida's species nest in trees. This nest becomes the center of the adult squirrel's activities. Most squirrels are active during the day, which makes their activities quite notice- able to use. They rely on GROWING SF~ASON their keen senses to detect danger when it is still some distance away and then they Co t make a quick escape. Garo Squirrels basically are vegetarians. They eat a wide variety of plants but mostly prefer fruits and nuts. In the fall, they are especially attracted to oaks, hickories and pecans. But for all their love of fruits and nuts, tree squirrels also will eat the eggs and young of nesting birds and certain types of insects. Florida is home to three species of tree squirrels gray, fox and flying lands I Master deners squirrel and one species of ground squirrel, the east- ern chipmunk. Although they share many of' the same characteristics, each one is unique. Gray squirrel The adorable gray squirrel is one of the most common- ly seen mammals throughout Flofida. These medium -sized. squirrels weigh about one pound and are about 15 inches long, half of that being the tail. As their name suggests, their fur is predominantly gray in color and has rust-colored hairs scattered throughout the coat. It is not uncom- mon, however, to see blonde or black gray squirrels. Under natural conditions, gray squirrels are most abundant in hard- wood or mixed hardwood and pine forests. They are common in urban areas though, because they are not fussy about their habitat. They do quite well in residential areas where only a few large trees are present. Oaks are especially attractive to them, and they can supplement this food by using bird feeders and gar- dens. Fox squirrel Florida's fox squirrel popular gener- ally has not fared well. Although these squirrels occur statewide, several races have declined drastically. Flying squirrel The southern flying squirrel weighs only about two ounces and measures just nine inches long with a three- to four-inch tail. Their eyes and ears are large and noticeable. Their fur is dense and soft, the upper body color being light brown and the belly white. Flying' squirrels get their name because of their ability to glide for dis- tances of 150 feet. They do this by climbing high in a tree and leaping with their legs outstretched. This stretches the skin membrane along their sides and allows them to glide to another tree. Flying squirrels move poorly on the ground and rarely do so. Unlike other Florida squirrels, flying squirrels are rarely active during the day. Next week I will continue dis- cussing some of the problems home owners encounter with squirrels and how to solve them.

HOMELESS Continued from 1B got a job, and then another girl shows up, saying she's his wife too and her name is Susan also," Karl said. "Some people that come in look normal. Some look very low class. They're dressed poorly, with unruly hair, and bad hygiene. And if they were crack addicts, they'd sell their mom for a fix. They're the best liars." Arnold Belcher at Jim's Auto Salvage of Sebring testified that some people actually reside in their vehicles. "We know some that live in their car, selling cans to us to make a little money. You glance inside and see piles of clothes, even paperwork on their dash. These people usually go to a back street in a section of town to sleep for the night. They're not transients. They are people who live right here in Sebring. But they've crossed a line. They can and have worked in the past. Some are on drugs or are drunks, of course. A few are veterans who are emotionally mixed up. I know one guy who lives under a box in the woods. He and the ones who live in their cars rely on others to survive. Places like New Testament Mission fills their need for food, clothes, a bed, and money," Belcher said. Karl has heard various circum- stances that have caused people to be homeless. "Usually they are poor or have phys- ical and mental problems. Maybe the breadwinner had a heart attack. If they have -kids, there's no savings, and they're strapped, which pushes them into a homeless circumstance. Last year's storms especially blew their lives apart," Karl said. Penny Phillipi at Housing of Highlands County said, "If it's a fami- ly with children and they're living in a car, they usually keep quiet about it so the Department of Children & Families won't take their kids. They're knowl- edgeable and cautious. Some people just can't make a deposit, plus the first and last month's rent. Of the ones we see, 19 percent work full time, and 17 ,percent work part time. There's a real lack of low-income housing in this area." Phillipi also has noticed an increase of homeless people because of the past hurricane season. "Last year's hurricanes displaced 250 families who moved to Orlando, 450 who moved out of the state, and 357 who are temporarily in trailers and only have months left to get out of those. But the storms made it OK to be homeless and come to us for help. These are desperate people. We do bur best, but the resources are strained to the limit," Phillipi said. . She added, "We've even seen an increase of teenagers who've been kicked out by their parents. Sometimes a woman gets beat up, and the car is her only place to go." When a person walks away from a car, it's often the last perceived vestige of independence. The act of abandon- ment represents a loss of self-respect and responsibility. These cars are not only remnants of shattered, lives, but are symbolic of deeper problems that remain unsolved in our community.

A place where the water ist so cold and the scenery so beau- tiful, you are left breathless. AT placerk and that will beckon to you after you have returned home. This place is Rainbowut six Springs State Park, near Ocala, named for the brilliant bluish- colored spring waters of the Rainbow River. Interestingly, the state park and campgrounds are in separate locations. The park and the campground are physically one mile apart, although the drive is about six miles. Once privately owned, the campground is now part of the Florida Park Service. It has a small visitor's center, moder and restrooms, and a heated swim- ming pool. The entry station offers grocery items, souvenirs, snacks, ice and ice cream bars. Campsites include water and electric hookups, and some have sewer connections. There is an upper and lower section with restrooms on both sides. The upper area is a converted grassy field and is close to the pool, laundry facilities, play- ground and visitor's center. The lower section is mostly a dirt base, under trees and close to the river. All amenities are within a short walk to camping areas. Future plans to revamp sites with vegetation barriers will improve on the lack of privacy, but this isn't really a problem since the. river will swallow most of your daylight hours. A canoe arid kayak outfitter is conveniently located at the WANT TO Go? What: Rainbow Springs State Park Where: 3 miles north of Dunnellon on the east side of U.S. 41. The campground is on S.W. 180th Avenue Road, two miles north of County Road 484 and two miles south of State Road 40. For information: Call (352) 465-8555 or visit the Web site at http://www.FloridaStateParks.org. For reservations: http://www.ReserveAmerica.com Jim and Kimber Harris take a break from snorkeling in the Rainbow River. base of the camping area, which hugs the edge of the river. Bring your own gear or rent theirs. There is a small fishing and swimming area, with concrete steps to help the hesitant enter the icy water. Cool blue ride Our vacation began with a 45-minute paddle, suitable even for a novice, up the wide, crys- tal clear river to the headspring. The Rainbow River spawns from a spring that gushes an average of 462 million gallons a day. The water is breathtaking in view and temperature. At a cool 70-odd degrees, it will chill and thrill you at the same time! A word of caution: Disposable containers such as plastic drink bottles, food wrap- pers and plastic bags are not allowed on the river. Bring appropriate containers for your food and beverages and any medications you take with you. While paddling, you'll see beautiful homes on one side of the river and "the real Florida" on the other. There is gently waving vegetation and a lime- stone bottom. Where vegetation is lacking, the water is a shock- ing side of aqua. We saw anhingas, several species of turtles and river otters and heard that a small gator was swimming down- stream. The numbing coolness of the water made us wonder, and we never did see him. Local teens jumping out of treetops into the deep pools of the river assured us that at night the Rainbow was full of gators. Historic state park When you arrive at the head- springs, the river swells to twice its size. Paddle in and dock your canoe so you can visit the state park. Once a popular privately owned attraction dating back to the 1930s, it is now state pro- tected. Winding, historic brick- paved paths, garden-like vege- tation, and cascading waterfalls reminded us of a more moun- tainous version of Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven. The gift shop has souvenirs, guidebooks and children's items. The snack bar offers heat-and-eat sandwiches, pizza, snacks, ice cream, cold drinks and more. Both are staffed by the Friends of Springs, a Citize Organization. Gazebos are ti shady ledges, offer views of tall Reflecting nools platform. Lifeguards were on duty the weekend we visited, but I'd rec- Sommend that you bring or pur- chase these upon arriving at the park. Inflatable float devices are not permitted, so leave those blow-up items at home. Soon we paddled back down --, the river and did some snorkel- ing. Getting into the water ---1.: became easier as the week went '. on. S.' Whether this was due to warmer air temperatures or a psychological adjustment, I Courtesy photo really can't say. What I can tell you is that the water, fish and limestone are stunning. We Rainbow loved seeing the "boiling" sand n Support pools on the river bottom as the spring water bubbled up. sucked into Chasing fish around sub- ng relaxing merged tree roots was fun, waterfalls. especially when you would see and tiny turtles, too. Floating out to streams flow under several of the walkways. Deep shade and bright green ferns are acces- sorized by colorful ornamen- tals. A large, grassy hillside is per- fect for picnickers basking in the sun after an invigorating swim. The large sky-blue head- spring-pool appears to be just a few feet deep. Upon further inspection, or should I say, immersion, we realized that it was at least six feet deep. Due to the depth and cold temperatures, we quickly decided that the reasonably priced "fun noodles" flotation devices at the gift shop would be a good purchase. Our daughter is an accom- plished swimmer and insisted that she didn't need one but the cold water quickly fatigued her. The noodles helped keep our numbed bodies afloat as we made our way back to the entry where the river bottom plum- mets, you can see perfectly clear to depths of 20 feet or so. Here and. there, rocky caves gush even colder water. Once our daughter was too chilled to snorkel anymore, we headed back to the campground for a swim in the pool. When the pool closed at 7 p.m., we grilled steaks and enjoyed din- ner by firelight. As darkness fell, the wooded edge of. the campground became lit by perhaps millions of blinking green lights. The fireflies stayed close to the tree line, but we caught few in ajar. All too soon, it was time to let them go and get back on the road to home.

Ty Jackson struck out 13 and scattered four hits, and Avon Park got all the runs it would need in the bottom of the third inning to advance to today's 6 p.m. game against either Okeechobee American or Clewiston. Lake Placid's game against Belle Glade was not complete at press time on Saturday. The winner of that game will face Sebring American, which drew a first- round bye, today at 4 p.m. The game was tied at 1-1 when Lacy' Turner and Katelynn Stoll singled to lead off the third for Avon Park. Both were snuffed out on field- er's. choices off the bats of Avierre Conner and Greg Gentry, but that kept the inning alive long enough for Matthew Rivera, who one-hopped the fence in the right-center field for a double to drive in Conner and Favianette Cotte for a 3-1 lead. Sebring elected to intention- ally walk Jackson and load the bases, but the rally was cut short when Gentry was thrown out attempting to score on a wild pitch. Avon Park already had all the runs it would need, however, with Jackson in control on the mound. "My fastball was working really good and so was my curveball," Jackson said. "I was hitting my target really good today. This win feels pretty good because the rest of the way will be downhill. It's good to get the first game out of the See JACKSON, Page 3D Dixie Youth AAA Baseball District 8 Tournament The Sebring American All-Stars celebrate after winning the District 8 championship in extra innings Friday night. American SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun beauty Sebring American prevails in dramatic showdown to win district title BY CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer SEBRING It wasn't a matter of out- playing the crosstown rival, but outlasting them. Sebring American had the last at-bat Friday, and Austin Hedrick hit a bouncing ball into left center field for the game-win- ning single, delivering the ultimate heroics in a 14-13 seven-inning thriller against Sebring National for the championship of the Dixie Youth AAA District 8 tourna- ment. "I can't say enough about the heart that these guys have. Both teams. Not just one team," American coach Kelly Payne said. "But I've got some guys playing on my team who are willing to fight the whole game." Originally set for Clewiston but moved instead to Max Long Recreational Complex, Friday's championship was the third meeting between the two teams, the second in as many nights and the second decided by only one run. Both teams quali- fy for the state tournament that begins July 16 in Okeechobee, and they could meet again there next month. "Our goal was to win the district, but at least we're going to state," National coach Tommy Lovett said. Yet the early returns indicated National would cruise to the district title. American trailed 4-0 before it sent its first batter to the plate, 11-6 in the middle of the fifth, 12-9 going into the bottom of the sixth, and never led until Johnny Vega crossed the plate with the winning run. "It seems like three or four to nothing in the first two innings is the key," Payne said. "We've got to be behind by 4-0. It's killing me. I'm having heart failure." Still, three-run innings in the first and third left the game tied heading into the top of the fifth inning, when National delivered what appeared to be a knockout blow. Singles by Wade Faircloth and Jared Lang keyed an 11-batter, five-run inning. After T.J. McGlinchey's walk forced in Justin Acevedo with the National's llth run, eventual winning pitcher Jake Bryan was brought in to relieve, and retired the See BEAUTY, Page 4D Golf Hot shots steal show in Jarrett Invitational SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Steve Hall (left) gets a high five from Bud Wester after Hall made a double eagle on No. 18 at River Greens during the Jarrett Invitational on Saturday. Hopkins' ace topped by Hall's double eagle By SCOTT DRESSEL Sports Editor AVON PARK The real question in the first round of the 19th annual Bill Jarrett Ford Invitational at River Greens on Saturday wasn't who had the best round. It was who had the best shot. For a while, it seemed Mark Hopkins' hole-in-one on the 12th hole would be the swing of the day. That was until Steve Hall, who was playing two groups ahead of Hopkins, closed out an incredible back nine with a double eagle on the par-5 finishing hole to vault into the lead of the 102-player tournament. Hall, who won the tourna- ment nine years ago, birdied the ninth hole to make the turn in 2- over 37. He then made birdies on the next three holes, a pair of pars, two more birdies, a par and the double eagle for an 8- under 29 on the back to finish the day at 6-under 66 and with a one-shot lead heading into today's final round. See SHOTS, Page 3D TIME OUT Chuck Myron Athletes show best way to handle defeat For every story we read about an athlete popping off and losing his temper, it's hard to realize how much composure these true sportsmen really show. I'm a Detroit Pistons fan, and I'm stinging a lit- tle bit right now from Game 7. I'm by no means a diehard, but toward the bitter end Thursday night, I found myself having to take a few quiet moments of reflection while silently rooting for Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobili to trip over something. As I dealt with the final- ity and the realization that I won't be buying any com- memorative T-shirt-and- DVD packages this sum- mer, I assuaged myself not only with realization that I saved about $75,'but also with the thought that these Pistons, like most every runner-up every year, exit- ed the stage with grace and without incident. If I were, say, competing directly against another writer for what coisid- ered the be-all and end-all of my profession, and the other guy just barely beat me, I'm not sure I would go down without a fight. Perhaps it would involve fists, or maybe just an out- stretched leg at the right moment. You want to keep your opponent guessing. Now I've never, ever hit anyone, but I've never put a lifetime of dedication and toil on the line for perhaps one single shot at the Holy Grail of my profession, either. There have been plenty of job interviews and writing contests, but nothing like the mano-a- mano that defines sports. I'm particularly impressed when I see a youth team bow out in style. I've seen a lot of heartbreaking losses and a lot of tears, but I've never seen anybody deliver a cheap shot during the awards ceremony, which, if you think about it, is remarkable considering the emotional volatility of 13- year-olds. At least younger kids don't have to deal with a barrage of reporters in their locker room after they lose. It's never any writer's favorite assignment, partic- ularly because it means going up to an athlete who is much larger, much stronger, and now much angrier than you're really ever going to be, and trying to get him to give me a good quote. Honestly, if I had to give a press conference after I lost Game 7, and I some- how got there without get- ting ejected for becoming the first player in league history to deliver two fla- grant fouls in less than a second, I think it might go something like this: "OK, first of all, (exple- tive) (expletive) (exple- tive). Second, did you know Robert Horry is a gutless cheater? Well, he is. How else could a guy who hasn't averaged as much as nine points a game since 1996 do what he does in the playoffs? He cheats. And stinks, too. See MYRON, Page 3D NEWS-SUN + SEBRING, FLA.

"I just feel. pretty special about it." Big bass boat not a necessity If you are like me, you don't have one of those big, pretty fishing' boats. And I also know how.much you envy that fellow who does. Every time one of them whizzes by me on the lake, I stop everything and just stare in apprecia- tion of all that beauty. I have never owned more than a 14-foot alu- minum boat, although when I was a whole lot younger I built a wooden runabout from a store- bought kit. It had a deck and two padded, bench-type seats with high, comfortable backs. With a 40-horse outboard, it was great for Sunday afternoon cruising. When I tried to fish from it, though, I found it to be very uncomfortable, awkward and unhandy. Everything seemed to be in the way. The seats were in the wrong place, the steering wheel was a nuisance and my fishing rods and tackle box were always where they shouldn't be. I soon got rid of that boat. I sold for the first offer I got. This 14-foot aluminum boat is a perfect fit for me. Thanks to invitations from friends, I have fished a myr- iad of times from a big bass boat and really enjoyed the convenience, but I didn't catch any more bass while doing so. OUTDOORS I have to say, a well-man- aged bass boat can put Lloyd Jones everything at your finger- tips. With a place for every- thing and everything in its place, you can be comfortable while fishing. Thanks to all the fellows who have invited me aboard their beautiful boats. I always had a great time. U.. The one thing that I have always wanted to do was fish a big time-totrnament (even from the back of the boat) with a famous professional bass angler. He might show me a trick or two that I haven't used and I'd like that. It wouldn't really matter if I caught anything or not. I'd just enjoy chance to spend the day with one who would undoubtedly know more than I about bass fishing. I think I have caught more than my share of big bass from my old aluminum boat. I used to watch a lot of the fishing shows on TV and I miss hearing Roland Martin's famous saying, "Son, that's what it's all about." I loved watching Roland. He seldom threw a lure without catching something. He must have known where every bass hung out in Lake Okeechobee. He didn't hoist up any little 'uns, either. He didn't seem to mess with anything under 7 or 8 pounds. On one Sunday afternoon show, he was fish- ing Okeechobee and got into some pretty heavy cover. The water wasn't too deep, so he decided to get out and wade. I think Roland is a very Courtesy photo Five-year-old Ashton Crunkelton caught a 6- pound, 24-inch bass and a 2'/2-pound, 23/2-inch pickerel on live bait recently while visiting his grandparents, Lee and Sheri Andrus of Lake Placid. smart man. Anybody who can make such a good living from bass fishing is smart. Or maybe lucky. Anyway, when he stepped out into the water, it was up to his chest. That didn't seem to bother him in the least. If I recollect, Lake Okeechobee is running over with alligators. Big alligators. The man is a lot braver than I would ever be. Roland had a tow line attached from his boat to his belt as he waded through the cattails and reeds. He caught a few real good bass before one almost jerked the rod from his grasp. He had the rod high over his head as he fought to bring the bass in. He turned a couple of circles ' in doing so. Finally, grabbing the monster that must have weighed at least 11 pounds, he broke out that familiar grin and said, "Son, that's what it's all about." Well, about that time the bass lunged, Roland lost his grip and the bass was floudering in his arms. It was an unforgettable sight to see as Roland floundered and struggled to recapture his prize. For a bit, he had the bass up in his arms and as it flopped away, Roland was splashing around up to his chin in the water trying to corral the fish. I had never seen Roland look so dejected and disheveled as he watched the bass disappear in the murky water. But like one famous bass angler says, "Son, that's what it's all about."

SHOTS Continued from ID "That's the best nine holes I've ever seen," commented Bud Wester, who played in the same group with Hall. It was the best nine holes Hall had ever seen, too, beating his personal best of 30. "I got some good breaks," Hall said of his finish. "I made a good birdie on No. 9 to get back to 2-over and then just got on a roll." Even with the roll he was on, Hall couldn't have imagined that his second shot on the 18th hole a 7-wood from 210 yards out would hit in front of the green, roll up and drop into the cup for his second career double eagle. "I just wanted to hit it up to the front of the green and let it scoot up to the flag," he said. "I nutted it dead solid perfect. It never left the flag. It just kept getting closer and closer and then it went out of sight." Hall's fantastic finish left him one stroke ahead of 2003 champion Cody Brownell and three ahead of Hopkins, the 1995 winner. Mike Marlette is fourth with 71, followed by Gary Bagwell with 72, Russ Trombley and Wester tied for sixth at 73 and Jim Casey with 74. Defending champ and four-time winner Eddie Freeland is tied with Jimmy Tsakalos for ninth with 75 and Marc Devany (2000 winner), Brian Hendrickson, Brian Jarrett, David Simms and Jerry Wagner are all tied at 76. Hopkins didn't seem to mind that his second career ace was trumped by Hall. "That's all right," he said. "He's going to pay the bar tab." MYRON Continued from 1D "You know what? I don't really care, either. I don't. Fine me, Mr. Stem. Fine me for (expletive) (expletive) (exple- tive). I got $60 million. I could curse until next week and not rdn out of money. "I'm all right, though. I'll just go home and see my wife. And I hope those guys on San Antonio realize she's a model. Especially Tony Parker. My wife would never be 'Desperate' enough to hang around him!" So kudos to the Pistons for having more class than their fans, and kudos to all the ath- letes who know how to win as well as lose. And let this be a warning to anyone who wants to go up against me for a Pulitzer Prize. JACKSON Continued from 1D way and get rid of the chill bumps." Avon Park struck first when Gentry led off with a bunt sin- gle in the bottom of the first, stole second and scored on Drew Reeves' two-out single to center to make it 1-0. Sebring answered immedi- ately in the top of the second as Seth Abeln doubled to left-cen- ter with one out and scored eas- ily when Tyler Stanaback copied him with a double to nearly the same spot. Jackson then struck out the next batter and Stanaback was tagged out attempting to score on a single by Anthony Hargaden, ending the inning. Jackson retired the next 12 batters he faced 10 by strikeout to keep Sebring National from getting another baserunner the rest of the way. Matt Randall was the starter for Sebring, giving up one run on two hits and striking out two. He was followed by Jesse Baker, who worked the next two innings and gave up two runs on four hits, and then Toby Solebello closed out the game with a perfect fifth, striking out two.

News-Sun, Sunday, June 26, 2005 SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun The Sebring American All-Stars show off their district championship trophies Friday night. BEAUTY Continued from 1D last two batters of the inning in order as if to signal the sea change about to take place. "Jake Bryan is a clutch play- er," Payne said. "Nothing both- ers him. He doesn't get shook up, and he delivers, just like the rest of them." Ryan McNew led off the bot- tom of the fifth with a single, and Cody Cleveland hit a single up the middle to cap a three-run answer by the Americans. Jared *Lang's infield single and Torri Pringle's RBI walk stretched the National lead to 12-9 in the top of the sixth, but that merely set the stage for American dra- matics. The first two American bat- ters were sent down in order in the bottom of the sixth, but C.J. Payne kept his team alive with a single to right. Bryan followed with a ground-rule double. An error then allowed Garrett Martinez on and both Payne and Bryan in, and another mis- cue allowed Martinez in to tie the game 12-12 and force extra innings. "We felt like we really had the better team. Unfortunately, we couldn't throw and catch a couple times tonight, which cost us, obviously," Lovett said. "I thought we had the game won, but that happens. These kids are 9 and 10 years old." In the seventh, National staged a two-out rally of its own after Faircloth was hit by a pitch. Jared Lang laced a single down the right field line, and Acevedo did the same down the left field line to put his team on top 13-12. Bryan struck out the next bat- ter to assure National had the slimmest lead possible, and Wyatt Johnson was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the seventh. McNew singled again, and Vega tied the game with a single to right-center. The Americans had one out' and runners on second and third when Lovett decided to inten- tionally walk Bryan, who already had a pair of doubles on the night. "I knew Jake's been hitting the ball the whole tournament," Lovett said. "He's probably got seven or eight doubles. He's just crushing the ball, so I didn't want him to beat us." The move paid off when National got the second out on a force at home, but Hedrick came up next, and delivered the final blow. "Whether it had been Austin, or Jacob Hamilton, or Ryan McNew, or whoever, I would have expected no less out of any of my ballplayers," Payne said. "I hate to just mention just a few names. That's not right. "I love each and every one of them. I love them all, they're like my kids," Payne added. "I've got commitment. I've got a whole sideline full of parents and fans who are the most won- derful people."
