Saturday, December 8, 2007 Polk appraiser: Reform is a start, not a fix By S. L. FRISBIE, IV StaffWriter The proposed property tax reform amendment scheduled to go to the vot- ers on Jan. 29 "is a start, not a total fix," in the opinion of Polk County Property Appraiser Marsha Faux. But she's betting it won't ' make it to the ballot. Opponents have said they will file a challenge to the constitutionality of the portability provision of the four-part tax package, and Ms. Faux believes the amendment will be strick- en from the ballot by the courts. That already happened to a proposal for a "super exemption" proposed by the Legislature earlier in the year. By way of background, she said that tax reform already mandated by the. Legislature called for a reduction in local tax mil- lages. In Polk County, the roll- back was 9 percent. That represented a saving of $40 to $120 a year for most homeowners, she said. City and county com- missions can restore taxes to the previous level only by a "super majority" vote of two-thirds, which works out to four members of a five-member commission. And commissions that nul- lify the previous rollback will lose their share of state sales tax revenues. After a court threw out the "super exemption" amendment, the Legis- lature reconvened and pro- posed a four-part approach; voters must accept or reject the entire package: The present home- stead exemption of $25,000 on homes occupied by the owners would be retained, and a second $25,000 exemption would be allowed on valuations exceeding $50,000. The second exemption would apply to city and county commission taxes, but not to school taxes. The effective date would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2008. Creating the second $25,000 exemption is pro- jected to save the typical Polk County homeowner about $400. A new exemption of $25,000 on tangible per- sonal property would be- allowed for homeowners and businesses. The prima- ry impact for homeowners would be for people who live in mobile homes that are located in mobile home parks, and not on the own- ers' own property. These homes pay for a mobile home decal instead of a regular property tax, but pay a tangible personal property tax for any improvements attached to their dwellings.

Former Frostproof football player Travis Henry named one of the 100 Greatest Players of first 100 years GAINESVILLE As part of its celebration of "100 Years of Florida High School Football," the Florida High School Athletic Association is pleased to unveil its list of the "100 Greatest Players of the First 100 Years." The complete list is available at FHSAA.org Travis Henry ,| RB Frostproof High School | 1996-Florida's Mr. Football in 1996, broke a national record (since broken) that had held up for 43 years when he rushed for 4,087 yards in a single season as a senior. Led team to a state runner-up finish. Finished with 7,221 career yards and 79 touchdowns in HS career. Played 4 years at Tennessee, rushing for 3,078 yards in his collegiate career. Has played in the NFL for 7 years, racking up around 6,000 career yards. Henry is currently a mem- ber of the Denver Bronco's Football Team. This list was compiled from nominations submit- ted by media representa- tives from around the state. Final selections were made by a panel of high school sports experts, who spent more than 20 hours spread over 10 conference calls, and scores of emails, dis- cussing and deliberating these and at least 100 other players who received seri- ous consideration. The list was finalized on Friday, Nov. 16. "There were no right or wrong choices in this pro- cess," said FHSAA Assoc- iate Executive Director Jack Watford. "There were only opinions. Well-informed opinions, mind you, but opinions nonetheless. Get a dozen groups of high school football fans togeth- er around the state to pick such a list, and they'll probably all come up with 25 or 30 common names. Beyond that, it's anybody's guess as to who they'll come with. And the great thing about is, that abso- lutely none of them will be wrong." The "100 Greatest Players" list is the first of four special releases to be made by the FHSAA over the last two weeks of the 2007 football season. The following special an- nouncements are planned for next week: Monday, Dec. 10 The 10-member coaching staff for the "All-Century Team" will be announced. One of these 10 coaches will be revealed as the "Coach of the Century" at halftime of the Class 5A state champi- onship game on Friday, Dec. 14, in Orlando. Tuesday, Dec. 11 The "Teams of the Century," one from each decade, plus the top small-school team of all time, will be announced. One of these teams will be revealed as the "Team of the Century," chosen by the FHSAA's panel of experts as the greatest high school foot- ball team to ever take the field in Florida, at halftime of the Class 6A state cham- pionship game on Saturday, December 15, in Orlando. Babson Park Woman's Club plans Christmas Social and Gnat Chorus Members of the Babson Park Woman's Club will meet for a holiday social at 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13 at the clubhouse.

Sheriff Judd introduces Project Safe & Sound At 10 a.m., Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007, at the Polk County Sheriff's Office Southwest District Com- mand, 4120 U.S. Highway 98 South, Lakeland, Sheriff Grady Judd will introduce a new program designed to assist par- ents/caregivers of special needs family members. "Project Safe and Sound" was developed in partnership with a local mother of a special needs child. Crystle Feran expressed her concerns to PCSO Crime Prevention staff regarding the possi- ble challenges she faces with her 6-year-old daughter. Through those discussions, Ms. Feran's "Project Safe and Sound" was put into motion. "Project Safe & Sound" is a voluntary identifica- tion program that aids in the safe return of special needs children and adults. The program is offered free to those who apply thanks to commu- nity partners McBroom's Stamps, Awards & Personalized Gifts, Bomar Trophy Shop, Inc. and American Medical ID. Caregivers who wish to participate will be asked to complete an applica- tion/authorization form which requires specific information about the child or adult being regis- tered. The PCSO will then enter the information into the "Project Safe'& Sound" database, making the information accessi- ble to all Polk County first responders. After the information is entered, the special needs person will be issued a "Safe & Sound" bracelet, which includes an assigned number. The bracelet also includes emergency contact infor- mation engraved on the plate of the bracelet. Should a special needs child or adult wander off and is found, responding law enforcement person- nel will be able to contact the PCSO and confirm the identity of the indi- vidual. First responders will be provided the care- giver's contact informa- tion so that the special needs person can be reunited with their care- giver. Sheriff Judd extends an invitation for the media to attend this kick-off event. Mrs. Feran will be present, along with other members of the special needs community who will be participating in the new program.

CALL TODAY ~ 863-676-3467 costs more to collect than it brings in, Ms. Faux said. The $25,000 exemption would virtually eliminate the tax on mobile homes. A $5 increase in mobile home decals would bring in three times as much money, she said. Portability, the provi- sion that faces a court challenge, would allow homeowners who pur- chase new homes to keep their "Save Our Homes" tax shelter, which since 1995 has limited annual increases in valuation to 3 percent. Purchasers of new homes that cost more than their existing homes would keep their full "Save Our Homes" exemption; persons buying less expen- sive homes typically the elderly would keep a percentage of their exemp- tion. Annual increases in property assessments would be capped at 10 per- cent beginning Jan. 1. 2009, one year later than the applicable date of the other changes. Thl-tax reform package would reduce revenues to the Polk County Com- mission by $17.8 million, Ms. Faux said. The impact on the City of Bartow would be $190,206. Those are preliminary projections, and the impacts could be greater, she said. Faced with reduced rev- enues from ad valorem property taxes, the speak- er, said, city and county commissions could: Cut services. Lay off employees. Create new fees for governmental services. Create special taxes for law enforcement, roads and transportation, and other local government expenses. These would be similar to Polk County's special taxes to support libraries and recreation. Three other proposed property tax reform amendments are being proposed by organizations circulating petitions seek- ing to put them on the bal- lot, Ms. Faux said. "Beware of these," she urged. In a question and answer session, Ms. Faux said she opposed the now defunct "super exemption" proposal, but hasn't made up her mind how she will vote on the new amend- ment, assuming it gets on the ballot. She noted that no mem- ber of the Polk County leg- islative delegation had asked her opinion on the best way to approach property tax reform.

On election day, voters descend on polling places in their precincts to cast bal- lots. It's convenient, fast and as American as apple pie. But many of the state's supervisors of elections want to replace that tradition with another one that also dates to the earli- est days of the repub- lic: mail. The state associa- tion of elections offi- cials four years ago made a concerted push for mail voting in the wake of the 2000 presidential election debacle, but was rebuffed by the Legislature. The contested District 13 election in 2004 and questions about undervotes and touch-screen voting machine program- ming prompted the Legislature to dump the technology in favor of optical scan machines that tally paper ballots, despite the fact that many counties had only recently switched to touch-screen. Not- all elections supervisors are on board with the latest attempt to get the Legislature to allow mail voting. The 67 supervisors are split 2-1 against the change. That's a drop from 2003, when a survey of supervisors conduct- ed for a Legislative committee conduct- ing hearings on the proposal found a majority favored the Several states already use mail voting, notably Oregon and Washington. Florida law also allows mail voting for non-can- didate elections, such as sales tax and charter amendment ref- erendums. change. Horton said many longtime super- visors value the tradi- tional precinct method. But in addition to savings on personnel, precinct voting also comes with costly requirements to accommodate voters with disabilities and speakers of other lan- guages. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires supervisors to equip each precinct with at least one spe- cial voting machine that accommodates disabled voters. Supervisors must also print absentee ballots in several languages to accommodate poten- tial non-English- speaking voters. In many counties tens of thousands of such ballots go unrequest- ed and must be dis- carded. Horton also pointed out that in addition to allowing absentee bal- lots to be mailed, the Legislature also allows supervisors to mail out sample ballots to residents so they can review candidates and referendums before going to.the polls. Not all counties do so. Gone would be the cost of mailing absen- tee ballots because, in essence, all ballots will be absentee ballots. Several states already use mail vot- ing, notably Oregon and Washington. Florida law also allows mail voting for non- candidate elections, such as sales tax and charter amendment referendums. Orange County in 1997 conducted the state's largest vote-by- mail election. That sales tax referendum registered a 51-per- cent turnout. Six years later, Orange County held a half-cent sales tax referendum using precinct voting that generated only 22- percent turnout. With local govern- ment budgets getting squeezed by the Legislature, it seems reasonable for law- makers to consider a change in voting methods that actually would save money at the local level with the added bonus of mak- ing elections more convenient while boosting voter partici- pation. We encourage the state's supervisors to renew their push for mail voting and the Legislature to take another look at it. Letters to the editor News should follow code of ethics? U - I '"Copyrighted Material 0 Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" The American Society of Newspaper Editors adopt- ed a "Statement of Principles" in 1922. Article IV Truth and Accuracy, reads as follows: "Good faith with the reader is the foundation of good journalism. Every effort must be made to assure that the news con- tent is accurate, free from bias and in context and that all sides are presented fairly. Editorials, analytical articles and commentary should be held to the same standards of accuracy with respect to facts as news reports. Significant errors of fact as well as errors of omission, should be cor- rected promptly and prominently." The column by Wes Rogers in the Dec. 1 issue is based on the writer's igno- rance of facts: the City has an existing state revolving loan arrangement for the expansion of the sewer plant; the Economic Development program's work"-includes SR 60, Mayfair, and the mall area; The plan for growth was adopted in 2005, and the County has approved the RS designation to many properties surrounding the City which allows 3 units per acre; A City plan will be developed in the Masterpiece Area. By simply putting a col- umn on the Opinion page does not absolve the author, or the edito rs, of the troublesome require- ment for getting the facts straight. An article with so many factual errors and omissions does our town harm, and "should be cor- rected promptly and prominently." Shame on both of you. Anthony G.

Think about Alaska and Canada, and your mind immediately picture the dense conifer forests cut by fast, icy streams. Think of Tahiti, and quickly see the gentle curve of the coconut palms along the pristine beaches. Brazil's dense rain for- est, California's redwoods, even the cedars of Lebanon, are all emblem- atic of those places. One hundred years ago, the Lake Wales Ridge was defined by the Longleaf Pine. These graceful and towering trees dominated the landscape hereabouts as no other tree possibly could, towering 60 feet or more above the ground. Creating a dappled shade on the well-drained, sandy hills, they created the perfect environment for dozens of other species. Where the long 'needles' lay heavily on the ground, the 'pine straw' prevented most weeds, but permitted woodier species to flour- ish. The straw also helped carry fire through the scrub: low, slow-burning flames hot enough to burn off the weeds, but too cool and low to affect the pines. In this way, the Longleaf kings preserved the open, sandy soil that would receive the seeds of their next generation. Early pioneers who arrived in this area would find a wealth in the pines. They were a great source of 'naval stores,' which included wood for tall masts, and sap to make turpentine and varnishes. They even lent their sticky IN MY OWN WORDS Robert Connors qualities to the sailors themselves, who bore the nickname 'tars' after using sap-soaked hemp rope to caulk the seams of their wooden ships. Natives had long used the green needles to weave intricate patterned bas- kets, a craft quickly adopt- ed by the European set- tiers. The first documented industry in Lake Wales was a turpentine still, and thousands of pines bore V- shaped slashes that direct- ed sap into collection buckets to be distilled. Often dying of the injuries, the trees were then felled for lumber. The arrival of the railroad hastened the demise of the giants. By the 1920's, citrus trees were fast becoming the predominant land- scape, but they could never replace the soaring grandeur of the Longleaf pines. In the late 1920's, the famous landscape archi- tecture firm of Frederick Law Olmstead designed a plan for plantings of the young city of Lake Wales, to compliment and extend their design of Mountain Lake and Edward Bok's As the Olmstead plan was put into place, trees began lining all the major streets and avenue in town. The remains of that plan are still visible: Camphors along Second Street, Mag- nolias along Lakeshore Boulevard, Washingtonian Palms along 'Tillman Avenue. The giant Live Oaks that line -Central Avenue are no coinci- dence, either, being yet another part of Olmstead's design. Probably because of the predominance of the Longleaf, they were not part of the plan. In the 1950's, substantial numbers of the tall pines remained in Lake Wales. The basin surrounding Lake Wailes itself was still marked by more than a thousand of the stately trees, as documented in many early photos of the area. Their numbers were reduced by Hurricane Donna in 1960, and lacking the ability to re-seed them- selves in urban lawns, they continued to steadily decline in numbers. Despite the hostile condi- tions, perhaps a few hun- dred remained in Lake Wales in 2004, when the succession of Hurricanes Charley, Francis, and Jean decimated them. Today, a drive around Lake Wailes will reveal only a few dozen of the giants remaining. The harsh environment, and cycles of flood and drought, have taken their toll upon the remaining trees.

Many drowned when lake levels crept to 100-year highs. In recent months, an attack of pine beetles has killed most of the drought-weakend survivors. There has been talk in recent years among many longtime residents of renewing the Olmstead Plan for LakeWales, and restoring the original plantings. Some of the species originally des- ignated by Olmstead have now fallen from favor among arborists, and would have to be replaced by non- invasive native species. It would be nice to think that, in that idea, lies the seed of a rebirth of the giants of the Lake Wales Ridge.

So it was a bit unusual that Lake Wales Coach Billy Dee Washington, in his first year at the Highlanders' basketball helm, needed a half-time speech to rally his troops after a sluggish first half which saw the Bartow defense hold the Highlanders to just 15 first-half points Thursday night. The second half was much different as Lake Wales erased what would grow to a 13-point lead, only to lose in the final minutes of the game, 61- 58 to the visiting Yellow Jackets. "I kind of got on them about Bartow wanting it more than we did," Washington said. "We just have a thing where nobody is going to out hustle us or out play us. If we do anything it's going to be full speed, it's going to be all go. If a person beats us and we're playing that kind of basketball, then so be it. But no one's going to out hustle us. And that's what I got on to them about." Much of Bartow's late advantage came from the foul line. Bartow was 11- of-13 shooting from the stripe in the final frame, and was in the bonus situ- ation with more than seven minutes to play. Meanwhile, Lake Wales never did get into the bonus situation, and hit just three free throws in four attempts over the same period. "That's a lot of weight these kids have carried on their shoulders," Bartow Coach Terrence McGriff said of the fact the Jackets hadn't beaten Lake Wales on their home court in 13 years. "I'm proud of our effort. It doesn't matter what the record is, it's. Lake Wales and Bartow, in football, basketball, soft- ball, baseball, it's going to be a fight. We came in here knowing that. And that's what you want. But we needed it." "This rivalry's been going on since I was born," said Lake Wales Coach Billy Dee Washington. "It's always a tough game no matter what the record is. And it's more of a rivalry to me because I've got a lot of family over there. I'll hear about this for a while." Lake Wales had just two field goals in the second quarter, none in the final six minutes, and managed just two free throws in that span to allow Bartow to build a 25-16 intermis- sion lead. "They're a well coached team. They set a lot of screens, and the thing is, we knew that," Washington added "We just didn't communicate well on defense. And I need to do a better job coaching, emphasize those small things better." The Yellow Jackets built that to 31-18 early in the second half on a Marlon Austin trifecta before the Highlanders began to hum. Byron Ward raised the Lake Wales gym deci- bel level a few notches as he finally tied the game at 35-all with a three pointer of his own with 2:20 to go in the frame. Less than a minute later Jarik Williams nailed a 15-foot jumper to give the hosts their first lead of the night since a 2-0 advantage on the first basket of the game from James Norwood. "You've got to know that Lake Wales kids never quit," Washington said. "We're going to find a way to battle back into a game. It's going to take a while to get the chemistry right. We're playing for February right now." But Bartow had a quick .a ~ r i:: I~ r "'' FC. i - ~~'' "' ;-! g~%; I~ ~frL:~aL 4 'i"` I (Photos by Brian Ackley) Both Bartow and Lake Wales players go up for a loose ball in high school basketball action Thursday, while Calvin Stoudmire (32), right, looks to make an inbound pass as Vince Reid defends for the Bartow Yellow Jackets, who pulled out a three point win Thursday. answer as Jeremiah Samarrippas swished a three pointer with a half- minute to go and Richard Murvin got a transition lay-up with five seconds left to put the Yellow Jackets back on top 40-37. Several times Bartow looked as though they might pull away in the final period, but each time'until the very end Lake Wales had an answer. After falling behind 43-38 in the first minute, Norwood booked his own three with 5:45 to go to tie it at 43-all. The Highlanders would forge no less than three more tie scores after falling behind after that, and finally took their only late lead on a Norwood top- of-the-key jumper with 2:11 to go. Just 11 seconds later, however, Murvin missed on a three-point try, but was fouled after the ball was released. He calmly nailed all three free throws, and Bartow never trailed again. Williams canned two free-throws with 33 seconds to go to bring the hosts back with- in one before Jamal Lawson sank two from the charity stripe with just under 10 seconds to go for the game's last points. Lake Wales guard Trevon Jones, a sopho- more, drove deep into the right corner on the game's last possession, but lost his dribble under heavy pressure from several Yellow Jacket defenders and the Highlanders could not get off even a desperation three. Washington noted that one of his best three point shooters is post player Calvin Stoudmire and the play was designed to go to him to take a three if open, or drive to the hoop and kick it out to an open shooter beyond the arc. "My point guard is a sophomore. He's going to have to grow as well as I'm going to have to grow. It's a learning experience and hopefully it will never happen again," Washing- ton said. "We're young and inexperienced, and this is my first year, so we're learning together. We're going to find a way, together." Williams led all scorers with 20 while Norwood had 16 for the Highlanders. Reid led the Jackets with 15 points, while Austin had 12 and Murvin 10. Bartow improves to 3- 1 on the season, 1-1 in district play, while Lake Wales is 3-3, also 1-1 in league play. The High- landers are on the road Tuesday at Kathleen, and at Ridge Community next Thursday. They return home Dec. 20 to host the open- ing round of the Amare Stoudmire Classic.

Rollins hands Warner first defeat; Royals jump to 12th in NAIA The first regular season NAIA Men's Basketball Division II Top 25 Coaches' Poll was released Wednesday, and the Warner Southern Royals landed in the 12th spot. Last season's national champions Mid America Nazarene University (Kan.) continues to hold on to the number one spot. The Royals are one of three teams from the Florida Sun Conference that earned top 25 rank- ings. Embry-Riddle Aero- nautical University (Fla.) received the highest rank- ing, earning a 5th place ranking, while North- wood University (Fla.) placed 24th. Last year's FSC Tournament winner Florida Memorial Univer- sity has also received top 25 votes. The Royals are off to a great start going 6-1 including a win, over NCAA D-I Bethune- Cookman University and two exhibition wins against NCAA D-II American University of Puerto Rico and Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. The Royals suffered their first loss of the sea- son to NCAA D-II Rollins College Tars 81-67 Tuesday. Rollins is ranked No. 4 in the latest NCAA poll. Preston Adams led the Royals with 15 points and sixth man Mike Tolliver added 14 points going perfect from behind the arc in four tries. The Royals got off to a good start opening the game on a 6-0 run fueled by two three-point shots from Adams and Alex Castillo. Johnny Reibel and Kevin Hogan for the Tars answered with three of their own to tie the game up. Castillo scored on a layup to put the game at 8-6 and that would be the last time the Royals led the game. The Royals battled with the Tars throughout the first half and went in to the break trailing 39-28. The Royals showed resilience in the second half by chipping away at the Tars lead, cutting the lead to only four points 49-45 on another three pointer from Adams. The Tars answered with a layup and a three-pointer to push the lead back to nine 51-45. The Royals continued to battle as they got the lead down to six 63-57 with seven min- utes left in the game, but the Tars went on a 18-10 run to close out the game. The Royals return to action as they travel to Lakeland, Fla. to play in the Southeastern Univer- sity Classic, meeting Southeastern this after- noon at 4 p.m. They played Emmanuel College in the opening round last night but the results were not available as of press time. Jones is Freshman of Week University of South Florida freshman Dominique Jones was named Rookie of the Week the Conference announced Monday.

"I came across something in the old Raines building," Hall told a con- tingent of supporters, staff and stu- dents. "It was a picture of the build- ing, with the inscription underneath it with the Lord speaking: 'I have given you this land, and I will show you how to build My altars of learn- ing.' He has done that." Hall announced that the new buildings would honor two key and original Warner contributors, while the existing women's dorm will also be renamed. "I realize, and I hope you do too, that those of us working at Warner Southern have a wonderful opportu- nity in a great place," Hall added. "It is our moment, and we need to make it shine. We are building on the foun- dation that was laid before us." The current women's dorm will now be known as Williams Hall, rec- ognizing Clois Williams who served on the school's board of trustees and also served as Warner's historian. The new men's dormitory was unveiled officially as Fulton Hall in honor of the school's first president, Dr. Leroy Fulton, who served from 1969 to 1990. Hall also revealed that Fulton will be the guest speaker next spring at graduation ceremonies at Warner. "It is only right and appropriate to honor the foundation he laid. I appreciate that every day," Hall said. The second new residence hall will be known as The Raines Building in honor of Carl and Effe Raines who were among the first major support- ers of the college. He also served on the board of trustees. Hall noted the couple helped provide much of the support, labor and money for the (Photo by Brian Ackley) Warner Southern College president Dr. Greg Hall addresses about 150 support- ers, students and staff Thursday as the school dedicated two new dormitories that will house an additional 93 students starting next semester. school's first building. Both new dorms are expected to be occupied when the second semester starts in January. Those names all were on buildings on the east side of U.S. Highway 27 where Warner was first founded. In recent times, the campus has migrat- ed to the western side of the roadway, including the new.dorms. The origi- nal school buildings are being pur- chased by the Lake Wales Charter Schools to create Bok Academy, a middle school scheduled to open next fall. "Part of the dedication here today is this institution taking one more step in its commitment to quality and excellence in Christian educa- tion," Hall added. "That is what is happening here today. We're touch- ing the past, we're touching the pre- sent and we're reaching into the future. And it's going to be a great future." The school is also expecting to break ground on a new $6 million academic building sometime in January, although an exact date has yet to be announced. The two new residence halls will bring the on-campus housing total to 265 students. The new buildings will combine to house 93 students, while Spencer Hall, the current men's dorm, and Williams Hall will remain in use. "A few years ago I was in one of the first class of young men that ven- tured across the highway to make Spencer Hall our home," said board of Trustees Chairman Rob Quam, a Lake Wales resident. "Over the last 25 years since that time we've seen a lot of development on this side of the highway. It is a great pleasure to watch Warner Southern College in its journeys a neighbor to the Lake Wales community. You should be proud to be a part of it. The buildings are simply a tool where you can live out the true spirit of this institution."

Thle News . age 10 N.ews December 8, 2007 First place winners read essays at the City Commission meeting First Place: Kaitlyn Boggess, 5th grade, I lillcrest Elementary Wow! Beautiful and serene places of Lake Wales tell you so many stories of country life, from the textures of Bok Tower to the art work of Lake Wales Art Center. I am proud to live in a beautiful place like Lake Wales. The first reason Lake Wales is a beautiful place is none other than the Historical Bok Tower. Bok Tower has really magnifi- cent gardens. When you visit all the landscapes you'll truly be in heaven. One other thing about Bok Tower I have been dying to tell you the clear-' as-glass lakes. The fish that live in these lakes are as big as an elephant and so orange that you could peel and eat them. That's not the only thing that happens to live Kaitlyn Boggess and Toni Hall, the first place winners of the essay contest for City Government week, had the privilege of reading their essays at the City Commission meeting on December 4. in. these lakes. Another animal is the beautiful white-as-clouds swans. The swans are magnifi- cent in every way. Their bodies are like a heart, their sparkled eyes like black markers and the orange tip on the side of their beaks is as bright as the sun. Bok Tower is simply spectacular. Another reason Lake Wales is great is every- thing in the wonderful and charming Lake Wales Art Center. The Art Center is really amazing for all of their sculptures. When I take a peek at all these sculp- tures, from the edge of the eye, they look like reality. When artists make these sculptures and share them with people who enter I thank them for bringing their art masterpieces to other people's eyes. Also when you visit the Art Center you'll see lots of paintings. The colorful paintings tell me a million stories of different times. The artists truly paint with such imagination. When I see a picture of a sailboat on rough waters, it tells me a story of where pirates were searching for treasures, but the only thing found was the rough waters in front. I absolutely am proud to live in a city like Lake Wales for the reason of Bok Tower and the Lake Wales Art Center. Lake Wales is truly the best place on earth. First Place: Toni Hall, 6th grade, McLaughlin Middle School Essay: My City, I'm Proud of It! Wowww! I never even thought how glad I am to live in Lake Wales. The three main reasons why I am proud to live in Lake Wales is how they made Bok Tower, the Mall, and the schools. One of the main rea- sons why I am proud to live in Lake Wales is how they made Bok Tower. This building was built for Edward Bok. There is a carillon in this tower and it plays on the hour and the half hour. There is a large garden that surrounds the Tower. Also there are graduations held there. Another reason why I am proud to live in Lake Wales is the Mall. The Eagle Ridge Mall has stores where you can shop all day long. Also they have awesome the- aters. You can watch all kinds of movies on a big screen TV They also have a Recreation Station. It's a game room where you can play great games. There's a bowling alley where you can bowl or hang out with your friends or buddies too. The most important reasons why I am proud to live in Lake Wales is the schools. Lake Wales has awe- some elementary schools, a spectacular high school, and I'm happy to say I go to the best middle school in Lake Wales, McLaughlin Middle School. The schools, are always being added on to each year. In conclusion, I am proud to live in Lake Wales because if you're looking for great sight-seeing, visit Bok Tower. If you want to shop until you drop, visit Eagle Ridge Mall. Last, but not least, if you want your kids to go to the best schools, move to Lake Wales. School officials want space to be confirmed before new housing developments approved By BRETT LOWE Staff Writer New housing develop- ments must be properly serviced by electricity, water, and sewage before they can be approved. Polk County school officials want school capacity to be a factor in the approval process as well. The facilities division of Polk County Schools has drafted an interlocal agreement on school concurrency to be approved by the county commission. School concurrency is set to take effect March 1. In Lake Wales, McLaughlin Middle School and Spook Hill Elementary are part of the county school sys- tem. The five remaining schools here, six come next fall with the open- ing of Bok Academy mid- dle school, are under the Lake Wales Charter Schools umbrella. The interlocal agree- ment sets the responsi- bilities of the school board, county, and city governments. The county must agree to it first, and then city government policies must match the terms of the county agreement. The school board will be responsible for deter- mining the capacity of a school, and determining how to handle the impact of new develop- ments. City governments will be responsible for sharing their data with the school board and coordinating develop- ment review. Whenever a new development is pro- posed, the school board will determine if the schools have the capaci- ty to handle the new stu- dents. Permanent facilities - as opposed to portables or other temporary facil- ities must be able to handle 100 percent of elementary students, 90 percent of middle school students, and 95 percent of high school students ,expected to live in the new development. If there is not enough capacity at the zoned school, adjacent school zones also will be con- sidered to determine capacity. if capacity is reached by either of these meth- ods for all elementary, middle, and high school students, then the devel- opment may be approved. When there is not enough room for the stu- dents, then the school board will enter into dis- cussions with the devel- oper to create a mitiga- tion agreement. These agreements could include: donation, construction, or funding of school facilities; con- tribution of land; adding capacity through dona- tion or renovation of buildings; construction of permanent class- rooms; or construction of a charter school.

A conti- nental breakfast was.served to all students and visitors of the event. By KATHY LEIGH BERKOWITZ StaffWriter The best kept secret of Lake Wales keeps getting better and better. Among all of their other recent five-star renovations, Vanguard School on Highway 27 just unveiled their newest construction: an eight-bed clinic to iso- late sick students and carry the services they offer to the next level. It was the dreamchild of Vanguard President Dr. Cathy Wooley-Brown, made possible by Dr. and Mrs. Richard Steinhilber and other contributors. The retired doctor was pleased with the clinic. A commemorative plaque, hung just inside the front door of the clin- ic, displays the names of those who contributed: Dr. and Mrs. Richard Steinhilber, Heart of Florida, Lake Wales Medical Center, Green Gables Inn, Mr. and Mrs. Haynes, Dr. and Mrs. Salud,- Mr. and Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Joan Gray. Heart of Florida and Lake Wales Medical Center donated clinical supplies and medical equipment to stock the new building. CEO Michael Yungmann of the Lake Wales Medical Center said that he would "look forward to" aiding the clinic in the future, giving them whatever they need. "We did this on faith that the money would come," said Dr. Brown, adding, "I can't tell you the dream it is to work on a board that says 'keep going, keep going'." And going she is. The president is full of ideas. "We added culinary arts, TV production, videogra- phy, pottery, language immersion lab where stu- dents can be immersed in a foreign language, and drama." The clinic has four sets of bunk beds, an exam room, a restroom, a cozy carpeted waiting area with a couch, loveseat, and chair, and a fully equipped nurses sta- tion. "It really was something we needed for kids who were too ill to be in the dorms," Dr. Brown said. With almost half of the school population needing medication, she added that the nurses needed more -N (Photo by Kathy Leigh Berkowitz) Vanguard School cuts the ribbon to a new addition: a'student clin- ic.

Dr. Brown added that the reaction of the parents has been phenomenal, "They are quite pleased," she said. The Vanguard School is "an accredited, internation- ally recognized community of students with learning differences such as ADD and dyslexia," she noted. The campus is named for Mr. William Boyd, who had lived at Mountain Lake and donated 75 acres for the purpose of building the school. Dr. Brown appreciates all of the help the school has received from various. donors. Through fundraising, private donations, and stu- dent tuitions the school continues to set themselves apart as an achievement school. Ninety-five percent of Vanguard graduates go on to college. !, i ir I' TWLLV WRISIN Ac' Friday, December 14 Saturday, December 15 Sunday, December 16 Comedy-Drama Performances each evening at 6:00 PM FREE ADMISSION (Performances will be in the main Worship Center) ( I .-. i Join Us at Candles & Carols on December 23 @ 5:00pmr --?E3 Get an incrcdibi aranlishibng yrKI STARTING SATURDAY DECEMBER 8: GET AN ORECK AT A PRICE AS LOW AS q991 ly lightweight, amaingly powerful Orcek XL Upright at an Kw price at our Year-End kModel Evcnd * First 10 shopper, receive a $40 Oreck Car Vac, FRT_ I * Extending store hours for one weekend only. 5 * Special financing available with approved credit.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., on winning NASCAR's Most popular driver award for the fifth straight 2007 Charlotte Observer. Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services year Gool a out .fothelat stinformationandnews onstocupy.S Lasting impression NASCAR writers look back on the year's moments JIM UTTER Jim Utter covers NASCAR for The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer Driver of the year: I'll break it in1 t\o. On-track award goes to Jimmie Johnson \ ho simply whooped all the competition in e\er\ conceivable fashion to win his second straight Cup title. Off-track award goes to Dale Earnhardt Jr., who managed to work his \\ a in every single story despite doing nothing of consequence on the track. Best race: Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The epitome of what NASCAR races should be: drivers racing for the \% In regardless of "having a good points da\" and putting it all on the line. Biggest complaint: Let me repeat for clarity: ESPN, ESPN, ESPN. Quick, name all of "talent" used in Nextel Cup broadcasts this season. You can't! They were in and our faster than the McDonald's drive-thru. ESPN e\ecs say they exceeded their own expectations. It' so, how low was the bar set? Best driver move: It may not seem so at first, but Kyle Busch's move to Joe Gibbs Racing from Hendrick Motorsports may prove a bigger coup than Dale Earnhardt Jr. to Hendrick. In the long term, Busch will have the opportunity to win more races and cham- pionships with another top-notch organiza- tion. Worst NASCAR decision: TV net- works can share in this one, too. Starting races (that means cars actually driving on the track) anytime past 2 p.m., unless it's a Saturday night race, is foolhardy and has proven to yield no positive results. DAVID POOLE David Poole covers NASCAR for The Charlotte (N.C.) Obsern r Driver of the year: Jimmie Johnson Jeff Gordon had a great year, but Johnson's was greater. He won the final two races before the Chase cut to get a leg up going into the playoff, then won four of the final fi'e to trump Gordon for the title. Being a champion is about winning when you need to. Best race: Daytona 500. Every uime I see it, I am more convinced NASCAR ble%\ it by not throwing the caution sooner on the final lap. But most memorable moments in sports come with some kind of built-in con- troversy. And it would have been just as bad for Kevin Harvick to lose it on a judgment call as it was for Mark Martin to perhaps lose it on one. Biggest complaint: Looking out the wrong window. I believe NASCAR's brass spends too much time looking out the back of the tower to see how many fans are buN ing T- shirts and not enough looking at the track to s ee what's happening where it really manlers. Make the racing better and a lot of the busi- ness concerns will take care of themselves. Best track: Texas Motor Speed\ ay Daytona had two fantastic finishes, but restrictor plate racing sort of rigs that to hap- pen. Texas had a great late-race duel between Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth in the spring and Jimmie Johnson's stirring battle with Kenseth in the fall. Most ado about very little: Open- wheel invasion.

WUORTHI N O LLlUT/V oS uniT ImAiI S= The NASCAR Trucks Series has been sponsored by Craftsman since 1995. Trucks Series to get new sponsor in 2009 By 2009, all of NASCAR's top three series will have a new name. NASCAR officials confirmed on Tuesday, Craftsman, which has sponsored the Trucks series since its inception in 1995, will depart at the conclusion of the 2008 season. NASCAR has already announced the Nextel Cup and Busch series will change to the Sprint Cup and Nationwide series, respec- tively, beginning next season. The move comes as a surprise, in part because during the 2005 season, Craftsman announced an extension of its sponsorship of the series through the 2010 season. NASCAR officials plan to start searching for a replacement immediately and with just over a year to do so feel confident one can be found. This season, the Trucks series featured the closest championship battle of NASCAR's top three series, with Ron Hornaday winning his third series championship by a final mar- gin of 54 points over Mike Skinner. The series competed in 25 races this year, from NASCAR's biggest tracks at Daytona Beach, Fla., and Talladega, Ala., to some of its smallest at Martinsville, Va., and Mansfield, Ohio. n' r- rageb 9 i m., aPdrji`' -- I I December 8-14, 2007 By Debra Gouvellis Wheels Correspondent Bob Elliot's Green- wood Chevrolet deal- ership believes their formula for success is about people "It's all about building rela- tionships that last." Elliott said. According to Elliott a business is only as good as its people. "We try to treat people like people not cus- tomers." Elliott added. Elliott has been in the car business for 30 years and he has a number of awards that truly set his dealership apart from the others. "Changes in market- ing and how we here at Greenwood Chevrolet have adapted include the internet and its vast amount of infor- mation, We have been rated the number one internet site." According to Elliott General Motors does alot of research on dealers and how their customers become familiar with many of the different aspects of a car or truck. And Elliott agrees that the internet has made sales of a vehicle much easier. "You have people who have investigated the car they are interested in and they bring alot of knowledge to the sale, which helps us do our job that much better." said Elliott. Greenwood Chevrolet has also been awarded Florida's number one Chevy dealer for sales effi- ciency. Economics and eco- logy are also an on going accomplishment for General Motors and Greenwood Chevrolet. "The unique thing about being a Chevrolet dealer is that we are committed to alternate fuels." The most recent vehicle to come out is the Hybrid Tahoe. " It's the most extra- ordinary SUV on the market. It's not only family sized but the hybrid Tahoe also has a 40% fuel savings." Elliott said. According to Elliott a large percentage of GM vehicles are equipped for gasoline or E85. The E85 Ethanol vehicles can run on either gasoline or E85 which is a blend of ethanol and gasoline. E85 ethanol fuel is a cleaner burning, mostly renewable fuel source made from mostly U.S. grown biomaterial, such as corn or other grain products. It helps reduce greenhouse gases and Elliott has been in the car business for 30 years and others. can enhance the nation's economy and energy indepen- dence.
