As of 9 p.m., firefighters still hadn't subdued the blaze. This is a five-alarm commer- cial fire," said 911 Communications Director Ben Henley. A call came in at 5:58 p.m. that a fire was in an area just inside the Lesco plant from the railroad loading bay. Supervisors were evacuating the building. The first fire engine arrived on the scene 12 minutes later. Within 14 minutes, five engines were on the scene. By 6:20, Sebring Fire Department Ladder 1 had arrived: In all, the fire had 40 firefighters from Sebring Fire Department and volunteer fire departments such as DeSoto City, Lorida, Leisure Lakes and West Sebring. By 8 p.m., Highlands County Emergency Management and the Highlands County Hazardous Materials Team had arrived on the scene. By 8:27 p.m., Highlands County dis- patch had requested more man- power from Emergency Medical Services, the Highlands County Sheriff's Office, Emergency Management, and the Haz-Mat Team. Henley said that the fire apparently started on a pallet on a shelf rack along the east wall of the plant. Apparently, it was well off the ground. Firefighters had managed to douse the blaze on that and several other pallets of stored material, but as of 8:50 p.m., fire was still raging within the walls. "They are having trouble get- ting to it with power tools," Henley said. "They are going to vent it with pipe poles.'" Firefighters planned to use long poles with hooks op the See LESCO, page 7A Roasted ears m, m SUSAN FOSTER/News-Sun Nichole Stewart, 4 and Brooke Fields, 2, enjoy ears of corn at the Insight Auction Saturday ini Sebring.

PHIL ATTINGER/News-Surn Highlands County Emergency Medical Services personnel prepare Tuesday night for a hazardous mate- rials situation with a fire at the Lesco fertilizer plant at the Sebring Regional Airport. Emergency man- agement reported that a fire began at 5:58 p.m. with a pallet of fertilizer chemical near the railroad load- ing area of the plant, and burned the building and nearby material for several hours. Female driver sideswipes car and rolls over at U.S. 27/98 By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING A Hollywood woman was airlifted Monday to Lakeland after her car sideswiped another car and then rolled over on U.S. 27, landing on its roof. Tina K. Miller, 41, was flown on.LifeMed medical'heli- copter directly from the scene to Lakeland Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. She was not wearing a seat belt, according to the Flor'da Highway Patrol. Lakeland Regional would neither c. iilrm nor deny her admission to the hospital. At'5:10 p.m. Monday, Miller drove a black 1992 Saturn four-door sedan northbound in the inside lane of U.S. 27. A 2003 silver Ford Taurus, driven by Laurie L. Cyril, 39, of %. I ii _. was in the center traffic lane, alongside Miller. They had just passed through ihe intersection at U.S. 27 and U.S. 98, heading north. According to FHP reports, Miller attempted to merge into the outer traffic lanes and hit the Taurus with the right front of her car. The impact obliterated the rear left quarter of Cyril's car, See ROLLS, page 7A Commissioners educated on strategic planning By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING If everyone is on board, a plan will work. That's what county commissioners heard Tuesday afternoon as they sat through a workshop with Tommy Todd, Glades Electric Cooperative Inc. execu- tive director. The opposite, of course, holds true. When people buy into a plan, it works because it becomes their plan. Todd told county commissioners, department heads, staff, and even a constitutional offi- cer, is that Glades Electric started using strategic planning nine years ago and has changed the way it does business to make sure those goals are met, or exceeded, each year. Honesty Getting actual facts is tough, Todd said. It's hard enough to hear the truth from one's self. It's harder to hear it from oth- ers. Glades Electric asked for that honesty from all employees and members of the co-op, and got good answers. Then Glades Electric asked why people Why plan? Putting out fires? Tommy Todd, executive director for Glades E.Ie~nit CoIper.ti' e Inc., said without a strategic phin, staff spends all its time dealing with crin'i, or cdal) chores and never dealing with'plans for the next month or year. With a plan, those fires are fewer and easier to put out.. PIrblem, (mio big? Glades Electric had high rates and tn ihic ci C' i'. nine years ago. Todd said having a plan broke that problem down step by step. Left hand vs. right? If departments are working counter-productive to each other, then a plan will help kicp pe I'Ioll focused on the ultimate goal. Future-ready? Todd said Glades Electric prepared for electric industry deregu- lation, which didn't happen, but was ready to adjust for it and was better positioned to deal with the change. answered the way they did and learned even more. If these answers are not as honest as possible, then the county may not get where it wants to go. Buy-in Todd said getting people to participate would be the key. When a plan is devel- oped from the bottom-up from wage earners first then it works better than middle-management plans or boardroom directives, he said. Commissioner Bob Bullard said buy-in would be difficult to get because the coun- ty already has 52 strategic plans spread throughout the various departments. Some department heads didn't know they had the plans before Tuesday's workshop. Some may be reduced by a new plan, he said, but many are state-imposed. "If this is No. 53, I don't. 1.; on,' he said. Todd said this may be more of a prob- lem with the left'hand vs. right hand. For Highlands County, an overall strategic plan may be a way of implementing the various established pJans. Accountability "It's humbling sometin's," Todd said. After last fall's visitors hu1r ijii. c Charley, Frances and Jeanne Todd ;till had to report to the board on power ..lt- ages and the reasons for any delays io reconnecting service. . One way of keeping tabs on how well the plan is doing is surveying the cus- tomers citizens in the case of Highlands County. Sheriff Susan Br-iil,n asked if it's advisable to have people take part in the plan who are outside the s- tem and he answered yes. 'The more people you have represent- ed at the table, the better it is," he said.. Evolution The program has to grow with ihe organization, and the organization I',- lU grow into the program, Todd said. N-. Ils will change over time, but the plan -I' uIld be flexible enough to deal with ithij-e changes. "Make goals measurable," Todd -:ud. emphasizing that meeting those ,,'I- is part of the plan,' but developing good ,working habits gets the goals closer. GET OUT.

By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING A fox, described as "potentially rabid" reportedly attacked a number of people Sunday afternoon in the Highlands Park Estates area east of Lake Placid. Area resident John Moretto was out in back of his Perishing Avenue home when the animal accosted him. "It was right about sundown. He came out of the woods, trot- ted down along my driveway, came right up and jumped on me," Moretto said. He described the animal as "big and gray." Due to its size, Moretto questioned whether it was a fox or perhaps a coyote. "It all happened so fast," he said. Moretto said that was just the beginning of the neighbor- hood's encounter with the ani- mal. He said about 40 minutes By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun, SEBRING -After years of planning and work, the first cubic yards of natural gas will be moving through the Gulfstream pipeline for deliv- ery today. "\:e have placed Phase II into service," an ecstatic Gulfstream spokesman Chris Stockton said. "We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everybody for the support that we got from people along the way." The pipeline stretches from the Gulf of Mexico to the east coast of Florida, including part of Highlands County. The work was completed on the section of pipeline here on the last week of December. The right of way restoration work and reseeding was com- pleted in mid-January. ,Gulfstremn: received. the release from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Tuesday clearing the way for delivery to begin. "It said we have met all of our requirements and we have been cleared to start," he said.. Currently, Gulfstream's only customer is the Florida Power and Light power plant in Martin County. There are just a little more than 41 miles of pipeline that stretch through Highlands County. Stockton said the vast bulk of the work went without incident. In fact, the only major setback for the project was the series of hurricanes that swept through the area. The combination of wind and rain pushed the project back about a month. "Actually, we had hoped to put everything into service by the end of December," Stockton said. "But you really can't schedule for Mother Nature." He praised the crews from the Oklahoma-based Sheehan Pipeline Construction who he said "worked twice as hard to overcome the setback." Currently, there are no cus- tomers for the natural gas in Highlands County. However, Stockton said that dispensing gas from the pipeline here is always a possibility. "We're an open pipeline, so as we go forward, if there's a need or there's a customer - that's what we're here for," he later, his neighbors also had a run-in with the animal. "I came home from grocery shopping and when I opened the door of the truck, something jumped in at me," John Verdegaal said. The animal continued to nip and lunge at him until it bit Verdegaal in the heel. The man was able to escape by jumping in the back of his pickup. The animal then ran to anoth- er nearby residence. There it attacked Rhonda Segert. "It was surreal. It was unbe- lievable. It's something you see on TV not in your own front yard," she said. Segert said there was no question in her mind that the animal was rabid. "Oh yeah, they just don't attack people," she said. Like Moretto, Segert had come outside to stir the coals on her charcoal grill when she The 110-mile Phase H natu- ral gas pipeline extension, extend's Gulfstream's reach across the Sunshine State as well as facilitating the increase of long-term firm service by as much as 350 million cubic feet per day. SConstruction on the 30-inch- diameter Phase II extension began in May 2004. With a capacity of approximately 1.1 billion cubic feet per day, Gulfstream now has the ability to serve customers on Florida's east and west coasts as well as the interior of the state. The 691-mile' Gulfstream system originates near Pascagoula, Miss., and Mobile, Ala., crossing beneath the Gulf of Mexico with more than 430 miles of 36-inch diameter steel pipe to Manatee County. Once onshore, 240 miles of 30- to 36-inch-diameter main- line runs through Highlands, Hardee, Manatee, Martin, Okeechobee, Osceola, and Polk counties. heard a noise. "It sounded like a hawk squawking," she said. The next thing she knew, the animal was on her. "It bit me on the knee," she said. Segert kicked the animal away but it came back again. "It lunged in the air and bit me on my arm just between my wrist and my elbow," she said. She slammed the animal to the ground with both hands, then windmilledd" it into the woods. The fox then came back for another round. "Before I could get into my house he was on my heels again," she said. Segert went to Florida Hospital's Lake Placid facility that night where she began the protocol for rabies shots. "We were there from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m.," she said. "We had to wait quite a while for them to get the vaccine in so we could start." She said there would be five sessions she would have to undergo over the next 28 days. Following that, she will have to be tested to make certain she is cleared otherwise, she'll have to go through the process again. Verdegaal also will have to get the rabies shots. Highlands County Animal Control Officer Keith Albritton said traps have been put out in the'area to try and snare the ani- mal in question. He warned that for safety, all pets, especially cats that roam and hunt, should immediately be vaccinated against rabies. The law requires that all cats and dogs be vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian annually against rabies. Albritton cautioned, people not to play with or pet any unknown dogs or cats. Do not play with, approach or feed any wildlife and report all bites or scratches to animal control or environmental health services. All animal bites or exposures to saliva must be reported to the Highlands County Animal Control staff or environmental health. The animal that was bit- ten and the biting animal must be quarantined or tested for rabies. The environmental health department and the Highlands County nXimal Control handles quarantine pro- cedures. If anyone becomes aware of a potentially rabid animal, they should contact the environmen- tal health office at 382-7219 or the animal control office atf255- 6475/6476. After 4:30 p.m.. contact the Highlands Cotihty Sheriff's Office at 402-7200. Spring planting SI'.',r.. ., S '.S.

'Sleepy Hollow' to offer family apartments By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a local match for affordable housing that might serve families in Highlands County. The National Development Foundation Inc., a 501 (c)(3) non-profit developer, has pro- posed developing and owning an affordable housing complex to be called "Sleepy Hollow." It would sit on a 12.46-acre tract at 4023 Youth Care Lane within walking distance of Sebring High School and Fred Wild Elementary School. Commissioner Bob Bullard spoke in favor of the develop- ment, pointing out that Highlands County still has among the lowest average pre- vailing wages, and a housing market boom that is pricing a lot of young families out of home ownership. Most recent affordable housing proposals have been geared toward the elderly or couples, not families, he said. Randy Fleming, president of National Development Foundation, said an application is in the works for zoning changes that the site would need. Development Services Director Jim Polatty said National Development Foundation is proposing having some four-bedroom apartment units rare for rentals - which would work well for cou- ples with kids. Polatty wants an agreement with Fleming to ensure the development has every proposed amenity, including a swimming pool and deck, covered picnic area, car care area, volleyball court, chil- dren's playground and on-site management. The development would use $100,000 in local State Housing Initiative Partnership Funds and about a $6,000 Jocal match. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation will have to approve and allocate the HOME Investment Partnership Funding. Commissioners also agreed to waive a requirement to advertise and score applica- tions competitively for the Special Needs Housing/Rental Development Program. Bullard said commissioners may need to lobby the Florida Legislature to keep housing funds in the annual budget. Central Hairstyling & Barbershop -. - YI- Bob Dryburgh 6am-3pm Mon.-Thurs.

SUPPORTS THE LINK BETWEEN SUBLUXATIONS AND CHILDREN'S HEALTH PROBLEMS Dr. Griffin Spinal misalignments. or subluxations, can contribute to the onset of health problems in children, according to a study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research. Researchers compiled data from 650 children over a five-year period. All of the children were examined and cared for by six doctors in Canada. pediatric certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. The doctors looked at the relationship between spinal misalignments scoliosis, spinal degeneration and common childhood health complaints such as bed-wetting, grow ing pains and colic. According to Dr. Ogi Ressel. spinal misalignments are the "seeds of future disease processes," and should be corrected as soon as possible. Spinal misalignments interfere with the nervous system. They impair the body's ability to function normally. Misalignments can occur early in life, even during the birthing process. The body adapts to misalignments and the abnormal functions become the norm. This contributes to the onset of spinal distortions, spinal degeneration and the generalized state of unwellness that is often seen in children. "This study provides further evidence of what has been proposed by other researchers both within and outside Chiropractic these slight alterations of spinal alignment and motion have far-reaching health consequences for our children," said Dr. Matthew McCoy, JVSR editor. This was the second-largest study of children under a64v Chiropractic care that has ever been conducted, noted McCoy. . * I: _q .. .. .. .. . should be one /.. 7 x 7 ence s When you're expecting, the staff of the Highlands Regional Medical Centers New Beginnings knows how to deliver. quality, compassionate care.

This year's event will be Feb. 26-27. Challenge becomes a legend Special to the News-Sun AVON PARK For the fifth consecutive year, the Avon Park Noon Rotary Club will be hosting the Rotary Legends Challenge at the Avon Park High School football field on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 26- 27. Five years ago, little did the members of the club ever envi- sion being the host of what has become a classic event in Legends racing. For the uniniti- ated, Legends cars are 5/8 scale racecars that resemble the stock cars of the formative years of NASCAR. How is the event considered a classic? The Rotary Legends Challenge is the longest run- ning Legends race in Florida. To win the event and have his name added to the distin- guished list of winners is a highlight for any Legends driv- er. Drivers from Illinois and throughout the Southeast have competed for the title. The race has been televised regionally on Sun Sports Network, formerly the Sunshine Network. For the past two years, it has been high- lighted on the SPEED Channel, featured nationally in Circle Track Magazine, 600 Racing Magazine and headlined on the official INEX Web site, www. 600racing. corn. Many of the younger drivers have moved on to other racing series in pursuit of their dream to become a racing star. Last year's featured winner, Patrick Conrad, will be back to defend his title and become the first back-to-back featured winner even though he has moved up to super late model stock cars. In fact, Conrad just finished a test in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck for Roush Racing. Probably the greatest aspect of the Legends Challenge becoming a classic is the bene- fit to the community. The,racing action is fun, exciting and entertaining, but the primary purpose is fund-raising. This year the Avon Park Noon Rotary Club hopes to surpass the $100,000 raised in the histo- ry of the event. Those are dol- lars that have been returned to the community and schools. This year's Challenge will again be a two-day event, Feb. 26-27. Racing action on Saturday night begins at 7 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday after- noon. A two-day super ticket is only $10 and children under 9 are free with an adult. Advanced tickets are available at Florida Hospital Gift Shop, Bill Jarrett Ford and all loca- tions of the Heartland National Bank and Wells Dodge Chrysler.

SEBRING Highlands County commissioners decided not to vote' last week on appointing any posts for the Natural Resources Advisory Commission until they have redefined that board's job. . Commissioner Barbara Stewart said the county could redefine what environmental fields it wants covered on NRAC, especially since two of the suggested members work at the same research facility. "There is no better time than with a large number of open- ings to re-examine the criteria for inclusion in the commis- sion," Commissioner Bob Bullard said. With a lot of growth expect- ed in the next decade, the natu- ral resources commission rec- ommendations may carry a lot of clout. NRAC met Jan. 5 to cover the December meeting, which had been put out of schedule by the hurricanes and the fact that county staff was overwhelmed with land-use change requests. The members present voted in favor of filling the griculiural representative with ...Satal Childs, the development repre- sentative with Gerard McNeil, the professional representative with Curtis DeYoung and Robert Puzey, and the environ- mental representatives with Mike Sawyer, Hilary Swain and Reed Bowman. Bullard said the county asks for recommendations from NRAC because although the membership has diverse back- grounds, the county needs a group that can work together as a team. However, with Swain as executive director at Archbold Biological Station in Venus and Bowman working under her supervision, Stewart and Bullard said they were con- cerned. Two people from the same facility, especially if they work together or one for the other, could be a conflict of interest, said Stewart. She also wants to see a distinction between civil and professional engineering fields. . Commission Chairman Special to the News-Sun Former Plymouth, Ind., native Dorothy Olson was hon- ored as a co-founder of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association, the nation's lead- ing nonprofit organization for PH research, public awareness, and services. Olson, of Sebring, was rec- ognized during the Florida Statewide Pulmonary Hyper- tension Support Group Conference at the Sarasota Hyatt Hotel. Hosted by the Sarasota Support Group and the Community Education Foundation of Suncoast Lung Center Inc., event- organizers brought together pulmonary hypertension support group leaders, caregivers, doctors and other medical professionals. Guest keynote speaker was Dr. Michael Poon, a PH specialist who is an associate professor of medicine at Mt. Sinai and chief of cardiology at Cabrini Medical Center in New York City. In attendance of the Floiida Statewide PH Support Group Conference was Dr. John Swisher, a pulmonary hyperten- sion specialist from Sarasota, the president of the Suncoast Medical Center; Debbie Castro, director of volunteer services for Pulmonary Hypertension Association in Silver Springs, Md.; and Gail Bucci, leader of the Sarasota Pulmonary Hypertension Support Group and master of ceremonies for the event. Olson served on the board of trustees of. the Pulmonary Hypertension Association for 11 years and held office in the organization. Both Olson and her husband, Harry, are now board emeritus. In 1998, Dorothy Olson received PHA's Patient of the Year award, and in 1999, her husband received the PHA award for Caregiver of the Year. PHA has more than 6,000 members, including patients, family members, and medical professionals. The organization reaches out to Ihe PH communi- ..l ty through more than 100 sup- port groups, an -800 patient-to- patient telephone helpline, two patient edited new letters, inter- national conferences, and a Patient's Survival Guide to Pulmonary Hypertension resource book. Pulmonary Hypertension Association is a rare and incur- able disease that can affect peo- ple of all ages. Men are not exempt, but it most often strikes young women in the prime of their lives. It causes high blood pressure in the lungs, which produces breathlessness and ultimately threatens life itself. Today, there are few effective treatments, but more are cur- rently being developed. Goals of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association include increased public awareness, research funding and physician and patient education.

Junior Idol hopefuls to get first chance Thursday night By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING This Thursday evening will mark the second Sunset on the Circle in Sebring for 2005 as well as the unveil- ing of a new competition. Dubbed Junior Idol, it is a reprise of last year's very suc- cessful Heartland Idol contest and chance for younger partici- pants to have an opportunity to display their vocal prowess before a live audience. SOrganizer Diana Hirsch said there are a number of young people planning to sing, who already have some experience. Hirsch is.the secretary of the ^ ;- .. Sebring Downtown Merchants and Professional Association and was one of the pivotal workers in the Heartland Idol contest. She said five others also have already signed up at her shop to compete Thursday. In the inaugural competition, hopefuls were asked to sing acapella. This time, the younger participants will have the advantage of background music. Unlike the finals of the Heartland .Idol, Junior Idol singers will be able to use the monitor so they can see the words.

Vintage travel-trailer enthusiasts bring glory days back Special to the News-Sun FORT MEADE The romance of the open road is coming to Central Florida Feb. 23-27 at the Florida Flywheeler's Park in Fort Meade as the annual Winter Convention of Tin Can Tourists gather. The big recreational vehicles often seen on Florida highways have a venerable heritage of trailer travel in the Sunshine State, and the Tin Can Tourists are keeping it alive. The original Tin Canners blossomed about 1920, in the early days of auto travel from the North to Florida. The group took its name from the campers' bring-along tin-can cuisine. Members sometimes fastened empty cans to the front of their Tin Lizzies to announce themselves to kin- dred spirits on the road. Forrest Bone, a retired high school teacher who now splits his time between Florida and Michigan, renewed the TCT in 1998 as a rallying group for fans of antique travel trailers. Members travel in rigs including a 1947 Westcraft, full -of polished wood and Art Deco curves, as well as shiny 1960s Airstreams and spiffy Scotty Sportsmans. Featured at this year's convention will be an original 1931 Ford House Care that was pictured at the 1933 Tin Can Tourists Homecoming Gathering in Arcadia, a beauti- ful 1949 Vagabond Gypsy, a 1953 Vagabond, a 1949 Spartanette, a rare 1937 Pierce Arrow Travelodge, and other makes and models that will simply amaze. Doug Keister, renowned photographer and author of two recent books that catalogue these marvelous American icons, "Ready to Roll" and "Silver Palaces," will be attending the convention. News-Sun, Wednesday, February 2, 2005 Mower-Plex to rock with February race CHRISTOPHER TUIFILEY/Ncws-Sun The left rear quarter of Laurie Cyril's Ford Taurus sits bashed and mangled Monday evening while LifeMed medical helicopter (background) takes fhe other driver, Tina Miller, 41, of Hollywood, to Lakeland Regional Medical Center. ROLLS Continued from 1A which careened down the east- ern embankment, over the retaining ditch and landed just short of a set of billboard poles on the east of the road. Cyril was buckled up and had only minor injuries. She had gotten onto U.S. 27 at Interlake Boulevard in Lake Placid and had enjoyed a quiet and uneventful ride until then, she said. After impact, Miller's car rotated counter-clockwise and overturned, rolling about four times before landing on its roof and sliding to a stop in the cen- ter lane. FHP on the scene reported she stopped more than 400 feet from the point of impact. Highlands County sheriff's deputies closed U.S. 27 in both directions to detour traffic onto Tractor Road until the helicop- ter and towing crews could clear the scene. Witnesses on the scene alleged that the Saturn was trav- eling at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic before reaching the intersection. FHP has not made any charges, pending further investigation of the wreck. Dangerous month Monday's wreck closed out a dangerous and deadly traffic month for Highlands County. Deaths included a pedestrian on New Year's Day, a new mother on Jan. 22, and two separate fatalities on Wednesday, Jan. 26. At this same time in January 2004, Highlands County roads had seen five deaths: A single- vehicle motorcycle rider on Jan. 4, an infant who was not prop- erly secured in a child safety seat on Jan. 9, a pedestrian hit by a passenger train on Jan. 12 in Avon Park, a driver in a rollover wreck on Jan. 23 on U.S. 27 near Highway Park, and a the driver of a passenger car that collided head-on with a sod-laden semitrailer on Jan. 30, north of Lake Placid. As of Dec. 30, 2003, FHP had seen 16 fatal wrecks in Highlands County, and the Sebring Police Department reported investigating three traffic homicides, bringing the 2003 grand total to 19, still less than in 2002. FHP reported working 32 fatal traffic crashes in Highlands County that year, half of those on U.S. 27. By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun' SEBRING The mowers will be roaring Saturday evening at the Avon Park Mower-Plex. Actually, it will be race number five of the 2005 Florida Lawnracing Associa- tions' State Championship Series. "We didn't cone up with a fancy name for this one," Florida Lawnracing Associa- tion President Joe Gillians said. He said many of the competi- tors would be using the event to get their machines tuned up for the Nationals that will be com- ing next month. The annual Sta-Bil National Points Race, slated for March 5, will be the 10th annual affair held under the auspices of the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association. Gillians predicts more than 100 mowers from across the country could show up to par- ticipate in that one. "It's been a cold winter up north so I'm quite sure we'll have a good turnout," he said. "Plus we've had more local interest in mower racing." LESCO Continued from 1A end to latch onto wall material and pull it down to reach the flames. Henley maintained commu- nication with plant staff so fire- fighters would know" exactly what chemicals are stored in the building, and where.'

Right now, Horses and Handicapped is building a new stable next to the Ridge Area Arc facility off College Drive in Avon Park. It's hoped this will bring the animals closer to the therapy clients and give more room for the Program to grow. Locally, Gillians said the.par- ticipation in the sport has been growing, with a number of the competitors running mowers in more than one division. "Our eight horsepower class, the A/P division, has just exploded," he said. "Some of the guys that ran in the IMOW division have built a second mower." SAnother growing class is the junior, or J/P division. A series made for younger lawn racers. Overall, while some of the competitors come from Highlands County, records show that the vast bulk come from other areas of the state. They bring their machines from as far south as Key Largo and as fat north as Jacksonville and even into the state of Georgia. The 2005 series actually started in September, but the first race of the year had to be pushed back due to some inclement weather. "It was the weekend of Hurricane Jeanne." The trio of hurricanes didn't harm the track itself, but it did do some significant damage to a lot of the infrastructure. data sheets, which would tell what specific precautions to take for what chemicals. Henley said he was told magne- sium was involved in the blaze. He also was told that granulated iron was present. Iron reacts easily with water, creating heat. Henley and the Haz-Mat team decided to err on the side of caution and have every fire- fighter who came in contact ' "It took out about every tree that was there," Gillians said. Miraculously, the grand- stands remained unharmed and other than replacing a few bulbs, the light poles also remained in place. "A couple of them got pushed back a bit, but we straightened them up," he said. Still to be repaired is the tim- ing and scoring both. In the interim, organizers have been using an EZ-UP pop- up tent. "Ultimately we'll build another one, hopefully with a place where you can get up on top," he said. Nevertheless, the races will go on Saturday evening as scheduled. The spectator gates will open at 5 p.m. and racing will start at 6 p.m. The races are held in the gen- eral vicinity of Williams Road, about 1/2 mile west of Avon Park, just past the airport.

Ruano, an office manager in Lake Placid, cones three times a week on her lunch hour. She said, 'I love it, and wouldn't miss a day. Physically and mentally it makes a big difference.' Lake Placid Chiropractic Clinic and Fitness Center keeps senior citizens fit By SUE ANN CARPENTER News-Sun correspondent LAKE PLACID Lake Placid Chiropractic Clinic and Fitness Center caters to senior citizens so they can stay fit. "Retired people get a double whammy: They were used to being at work, not near the fridge all day. Now they've not only cut activities but are more likely to snack. Housework and yard work are just not enough. You must use your muscles to keep your tone," said Dr. Robert T. Clark, owner -of- Lake Placid Chiropractic Clinic and Fitness Center. Since 1998, Clark operated his chiropractic practice at 2 South Main St. Then two years ago he added the fitness center. "I find that if they're here (in the fitness center), they won't be there (in my chiropractic office.)" There are no barbells nor free weights, so it doesn't attract weight lifters and body builders. The studio has tread- mills, lifesteps, lifecycles, elliptical trainers, and cable-operated weight machines. He caters primarily to the retired, since they want to stay fit in their older years. Lots of hus- band and wives join and it works well because they encourage each other. "Of course everyone wants to lose weight, but people don't want to hear the word 'diet.' If you eat less, eat right and exercise, then, you'll be fine. But each alone is not enough," he said, " You need the combination." When someone comes with a prescription, and has had rehabilitation for an injury and wants to continue with physical training, Clark knows exactly how to proceed for best results. He is able to not only show how to strengthen certain mus- cles, but activities to avoid. He recommends taking things lightly so you're not hurting the next day. One needs to get used to the movements, and there's nothing that discour- ages people from continuing more quickly than sore muscles. Of course, everyone agrees now that a daily cardio workout is recommended. That means anything that elevates the heart rate, because it is a muscle and needs to be exercised. "You should also work different muscle groups one day, and others the next so as not to over- stress them," Clark advised. "Most people work out three days a week. You should give 24 hours between each session to regenerate." The center's hours allow a lot of flexibility: 6a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Depending on a person's schedule, he and his staff can advise how to work in exactly what is needed. Unlike many ordinary gyms, certified personal trainers are on hand to guide you and are quali- fied to answer your questions. "They are not here to drive you to your limit, but to advise and show you how to make the best use of the machines," he said. One of the trainers also is a licensed mas- sage therapist, who is present Wednesday and Friday afternoons and then schedules individual massages. America's obesity rate is the, highest in the world, and often people don't like to think about their quality of life dbwn the road. "Most impor- tantly," Clark said, "you don't want to wait until you've lost it. Maintaining a healthy body is so much easier than trying to rebuild it after it falls apart." Call 699-6824 and get started today. "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content SAvailable from Commercial News Providers" n Local professional works to meet changing SEBRING James A. Bauer, certified senior advisors with Creative Financial Planning, com- pleted a comprehensive course on priority senior issues Dec. 4, 2004. The course is conducted by the Society of Certified Senior Advisors, a national organization that has trained more than 14,000 professionals in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Successful -participants complete a thorough examination to earn the Certified Senior Advisor, designation. Bauer has taken this educational ini- tiative to become a professional leader in meeting the key needs and issues concerning senior citi- zens. Professionals in the fields of medicine, insur- ance, investments and recreation require a broad spectrum of information to serve the needs of seniors. Be they financial, medical or social, sen- ior concerns are different from other age groups. The Society of Certified Senior Advisors keeps the professional abreast of all these issues by pro- senior needs viding education, monthly updates, support and marketing assistance .regarding new develop- ments, practices and research about senior citi- zens. In the history of the world, two-thirds of all people who have lived past the age of 65 are alive today. In the United States, seniors (age 65 and older) number 35 million and will continue to increase, leading a shift in population distribution by age never before seen. This demographic shift requires an educated response in how profession- als work with the challenges and opportunities seniors face. As a Certified Senior Advisor, Bauer will par- ticipate annually in continuing education provid- ed by the society. The CSA membership will ensure that he remains an informed professional for senior citizens. For further details, contact James A. Bauer, CSA Creative Financial Planning, 3631 U.S. 27 South, Sebring, at 446-1011. - :I-- x'- *- :S.

I ."IA I 'I of % 011WCf Ib "Copyrighted Material --- Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Do it yourself health remedies available To whiten your teeth, there is nothing like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, (3 percent solution), and please don't swal- low the stuff. Also use it sparingly, two to three times a week. Colgate has a very good paste that can do the trick for many. Stress, who doesn't have it, but living with it daily, there are immediate aids. It's how we respond to it too. Deep breathing in counts of five seconds in, holding for five, and exhaling the same, helps to relax you. You also can do Tai Chi, with saying out loud as you do the breathing technique, "calm," "peace," "joy," "love." Always seeing your body totally relaxed. Yoga, a great stress reliever, and there are classes offered here. But be in control and you will be more immune to any future stress. NATURAL WELLNESS JOURNEY Ray Fisch To help the adrenals when under stress, chew a teaspoon of schisandra, or sip two cups of the tea daily. The B vitamins, that also have 50 mil- ligrams of pantothenic acid. Never say, "I can't handle such and such," rather, take a deep breath and say to yourself, "I am in control, and can han- dle this no matter what" S For most sore throats, other than a strep, which ig highly contagious, there are many natural remedies. Zinc with elderberry lozenge, within the first 24 hours, gargle with salt along with warm water, Slippery elm, lozenge, tea, or spray, gargling with apple cider vinegar in warm water, echinacea in tincture, tea, capsule, and marsh- mallow extract in warm water 3 times daily, all are quite helpful and work. very quickly to ease the throat's discomfort. Sinusitis, many of us have this stuffiness, some in a chronic condition. Breathing steam from a bowl of boiled water with a few drops of euca- lyptus, and a towel over your head goes a long way to rid the discomfort. Swimming in heavy- duty chlorinated pool can really affect the sinus- es. If your mucus turns green, or you have a fever, you should see a doctor. Try saltwater nose drops in warm water, and Water Pik type devices when the sinuses are severe. Bromelain reduces inflammation and fluid retention and can shrink swollen sinuses. I have had great success with clients and friends in having them run hot water in the shower, and putting the wash cloth with the water running on it, on your face, along with the chest area if there is a bronchial problem, and let- ting the water run for two to three minutes. This is hydrotherapy at its best. Xlear nasal spray is superb. Psoriasis, which affects more than 3 million men and women, is helped with aloe gel, either with the plant or health store product. And try it for three to four weeks, three times daily. Sunlight, a vitamin D maker, UV light therapy, guided imagery, picturing yourself with smooth, scale free skin, the lesions could clear up quickly. Eat more vegeta- bles, less meat and dairy and drink lots of water. Try apple cider vinegar if irritated too much, and keep it on for as minute or two. Vitamin E oil, will give fairly good relief. Also take more than 4,000 mgs. of fish oil daily. Nausea, who hasn't been victim of it. One of the best relievers is ginger in capsule form, and tea. Great for seasickness too. Coca Cola without the fizz, sucking on an ice cube, and even pressing the reflexology point along the crease of your inner wrist at the base of your thumb for 20 to 30 seconds, and the opposite wrist as well. These are excellent relievers for that dis- comfort of the gut. Memory problems hit us when we least expect it. Is it age, "senior moment," "dementia?" We forget where we put the car keys, why you went into a room or where did we just put something. In most cases it is being distracted, too many demands put on you, especially being.a woman, and chronic stress creates "brain fog." There are adrenal breakdowns, hypothyroidism, and if the blood sugar drops, you can't think as before. Check with your practitioner and be tested for sugar levels, circulatory problems, and personal difficulties. Have someone massage the soles of your feet, which relates to the area of the brain that activates memory. Antioxidants, oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, and carrots, help the memo- ry situation. I plan to do an article on memory problems with help from new herbal treatments and procedures shortly. There are hundreds of natural health aids that can help to make our lives so much more com- fortable, along with the conventional approach to ease our health difficulties, that anyone who needs some help, is always welcome to contact me at the listed numbers below. Where I do not have the proper answers, there are practitioners who may be available that I have some contact with. I will be starting shortly a "living room health rap sessions" on "learning to take charge of the only mind and body you'll ever have."

Witnesses to the crash at U.S. 27 and U.S. 98 allege black Saturn four-door sedan traveling at a fairly hig rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic on th three-lane highway. Florida Highway Patrol reports that the Saturn tried t merge into the outer traffic lanes and hit a silver For Taurus. The impact obliterated the rear left quarter of th Taurus, which careened down the eastern embankmen over the retaining ditch and landed just short of a set c billboard poles on the east of the road. The Saturn rotated counter-clockwise and overturned rolling about four times before landing on its roof an sliding to a stop in the center lane. FHP on the scene reported the car stopped more than 400 feet from th point of impact. , The driver of the Taurus was buckled up and had onl; minor injuries. The driver of the Saturn was not wearing a seatbelt and was not so lucky. She was airlifted t( Lakeland Regional Medical Center with serious injuries FHP has not made any charges, pending further inves tigation of the wreck, but if witnesses are correct and th Saturn was traveling at a higher speed and weaving ii and out of traffic, then Monday's wreck was senseless The driver was flown away with serious injuries, but tha kind of wreck could have easily cost the life of another person traveling our roadways. January was a dangerous month for our roadways. Th four weeks saw four deaths a pedestrian on Nev Year's Day, a new mother on Jan. 22, and two separate fatalities on Jan. 26. Although the traffic death count was one less than thi same month a year ago, it is tough to start a year on happy note when there are so many families grieving because of a death that could have been avoided ha motorists been following the laws and driving sensibly. Let's hope the rest of the year is not so tragic. .Reade'sr sponse Should FEMA be held accountable for the decisions made in Miami-Dade? Every person that made a false claim should be failed.

I thought my eyes were going bad on me." "Having problems driving?" Bill said, "No, but I have some difficulty reading my mail." "Well, Bill," I said, "do like I did. I told my kids and friends that write me to either write large or type the letter as I can't read small anymore." Bill said, "That's not my problem. It's those letters from banks and others either wanting me to get another credit cardor cash a check they have attached to the letter. They start out with big letters about an inch tall, but as you go on to the bottom of the page, the print gets so small I actually thought my eyes were going bad and the really small stuff is where the bad news is.

When our early ancestors came to America, most of them never ate fried foods, most of them ate boiled potatoes and cabbage, and other vegetables, and you very seldom, if ever saw obese people. Fried foods became a tradi- tion in America during the early 1900s, with the introduc- tion of the hamburger and fast foods, and that has been esca- lating ever since. Americans are the most overfed people on the face of the earth. Americans eat more at each meal than most people eat all day. We have become gluttons. We eat like hogs, and we set a bad example for our children, and wonder why we are obese. This unhealthy habit has resulted in heart attacks, strokes, clogged arteries, and many other health problems, yet we continue to make pigs of ourselves at mealtime. Then with all of the mislead- ing commercials and advertise- ments that are bomb-blasted at us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we think that all we have to do is "popa pill." "Pop a pill" for a headache, "pop a pill" for an upset stom- ach, "pop a pill" for all of our pains and illnesses, "pop a pill" to help us lose weight, "pop a pill" to give us more energy, "pop a pill" to make us smarter, "pop a pill" to make us feel younger, while all of the time, maybe most of our problems are from how we eat. Just "pop a pill" to solve all of our problems, while all of the time, all we are doing is giving ourselves false hope to solving all of our problems.

I had no problem with that title, as it was something I had wanted to do ever since I was a boy. LO Yes, many an idea N came to me when I NO was a youngster. Lou There were times when, as I played out- side in the back yard, some thoughts would spin around in my head. I then would climb those three flights of stairs to our apartment an'd scurry to my room where I would check under my bed and take out the board that during those winter" months would serve as my desk. Producing a pencil, I would chew on the end of it, waiting for those ideas to repeat them- selves. Of course they came, but slowly. Those inspirations' did not spring forth like a cap from a well-shaken soda bottle, of course. It took time. Slowly I would begin to compose a short story, writing swiftly and in a general "Brooklyn spoken style," as my sister used to say. It surely was unlike that of a published writer. When entering the reading classroom on the next school day, I would remove that folded and unsigned copy from my pocket and place it on my teacher's desk as I strolled by. When Mrs. Green finally came into the room after all the kids were seated, I would watch her push it aside. Not discarding it entirely but moving it out of the way as she prepared the day's session, which usually was the last before we left the class and headed home. Mrs. Green was a largely built lady, about the age of my mom at the time I guessed, but not small and petite like her.... But her appearance didn't have anything to do with her teaching. She was good at it. I. mean G-o-o-d! She didn't have the Brooklyn accent ,like all of . = 7 )I'S BOOK TINGACCI us kids. Nor did she ever chastise or ridicule us about the way we spoke. She was a great teacher. There were times when she would assign a few pages of our book for us to read for 20 or 30 minutes. While we did that I would see her placing my story before her and read- ing it. Sometimes she would look up from the paper, glancing from one side of the room to the other, as if trying to determine who wrote that short made up story. I did that, maybe six or seven times, that I can remember: Placing my unsigned short sto- ries on her desk for her to read. I would peek over my book toward her to see if she would do that. It's true that she read them all, but when she finished I would see her reach down, dis- carding my papers. I remember squeezing my lips together, wondering if I was just wasting my time. But that didn't discourage my story writing. I continued to do that. Then the day came when Mrs. Green gave some of the kids holy heck for talking dur- ing the reading session and right after that, she told me to stay at my desk when it was time to leave. I thought, "Boy am I going to get it now!" Then the bell rang, letting us know that it was time to go. But not me! I was to remain seated! She stood by the door until everyone left. Then she shut it and returned to her desk where she pulled one of the drawers open and removed a small stack of papers. Grabbing her chair, she dragged it alongside the row of desks to where I was sit- ting and flopped down on it. I was shocked when she laid those stories of mine in front of me. I thought all along that she had thrown them in the waste basket under her desk. To my surprise she had placed them in the desk drawer. "These are your stories, aren't they Louis?" she asked. "I, er, I..." That was all I could say. I was flabbergasted to say the least. I had no idea that she knew it was me who wrote them. "That's all right Louis. Did you think that I could not rec- ognize your handwriting? She talked with me for awhile, giving me advice and going over all the stupid mis- takes I made and surely, there were a lot of them. Then she told me to take my stories home and in my spare time, aside from my homework, study the corrections she made on those stories. I would rewrite all of them a few times over, using the advice she had written on my papers. The day came nearing the end of our school year. Our summer break was about to begin. It was the last day of school, I had placed another short story on her desk when entering the classroom and in a little while, of course, I spied her reading it. Finally, as we watched the clock on the wall ticking away and waiting for the bell to ring, Mrs. Green, standing there with her back to her desk, called for me to "Come up front." I was scared at first and shocked to say the least, when r------ ----- COUPON ------------------- I AFTER BREAST SURGERY I I Certified Fitters Medicare Supplies I I C* Swimwear & Prosthesis Available I I WE CARRY: Airway, Amoena, Camp, I C 'Classique, and Jodee, C U U0 P Withr Purchaseof3 BrasandlPmnsthesisORFreeMedicare P upgrade when accepting assignments w/coupon 0 e .ceptiar ELEANOR'S BRAS & BURST FORMS N SAssig m uts nesturg& Call 1-800-927-0434 I (In hme seniceno charge) Hours: 9AM 4PM.

Additional information regarding the range of activities that may be undertaken will be provided at the public hear- ing: For each activity that is proposed, at least 70% of the funds must ben- efit low and moderate income persons. In developing an application for submission to DCA, the City of Sebring, must plan to minimize displacement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activities. In addition, the City of Sebring is required to develop a plan to assist displaced persons. The public hearing to receive citizen views concerning the communi- ty's economic and community development needs will be held at the City of Sebring City Hall, 368 South Commerce Avenue, Sebring, Tuesday February 15, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possi- ble.

It was my story, with a few corrections made, of course. "Go ahead," she said. I did that and there was no applause or anything like that. But she told all the kids that the story -was one I had written. Then, as I stood there, she told me to "Continue doing your writing. It's sure to get better as you go along. I never saw Mrs. Green after that. Whether she moved away or transferred to another school, I don't know. Her leaving must have gotten to me, because I didn't do much writing after that, either. In fact I didn't get back to doing it until many years later when I was in my mid-60s. But I have thought about her, off and on and the advice she gave me and I'm glad that I finally did, even though it took such a long, long time.

All were donated by Lake Placid merchants and Garden Club members. Fashions from all local stores and modeled by our lovely garden club girls and two brave men.

A goal.by Edgar Vasquez in the seventh minute and another by Jose Centeno in the eighth staked Lake Placid to a 2-0 lead that it never relinquished in a 4- 1 District 10-3A quarterfinal victory. The fourth- Lake Placid seeded Dragons will face top- Sseeded Frost- Hardee proof at 8 p.m. on Thursday in the semifinal. Up Next "The team that Dragons face gets the early Frostproof on goal in a game Thursday like this is proba- bly going to hang onto that lead," Lake Placid coach Josh Virkler said. "That's what we were hoping to do." "It was a little dishearten- ing," said Hardee coach Ron Kline. "Goals that probably shouldn't have gone through got through on our defense." Kline lamented not only the early deficit, but also several missed opportunities by his Wildcats (5-11-2).

After getting thumped 11-2 at Central Florida Community College in Ocala on Sunday, SFCC did some thumping of its own Tuesday afternoon at Florida College in Temple Terrace, rolling to a win by the same 11-2 score. "We got it handed to us late in the game over at Central Florida and I was glad to see our guys respond with a good effort on the road today," SFCC head coach Rick Hitt said after his team evened its record at 2-2 heading into today's 6 p.m. home SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Avon Park's Bobby Palmer (right) and Mulberry's Oscar Rosales battle for the ball Tuesday night. Mulberry ousts Devils from 10-3A By SCOTT DRESSEL Sports Editor MULBERRY There would be no rally this time around for the Avon Park Red Devils. The last time the Devils faced the Mulberry Panthers, Avon Park came back in the second half to salvage a 3-3 tie. Tuesday night in the District 10-3A quarterfinals at the Phosphate Bowl, the host Panthers didn't give the Devils that chance, scoring three goals in the first seven minutes on the way to ending the game early with a 9-1 rout. The Champion Audi team had both of its R8s on the track Monday afternoon. Teams put 'Wheels Down' at Raceway l By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING Cars and driv- ers began their four-day test session Monday at the inaugu- ral "Wheels Down Winter Test" at the Sebring International Raceway. The race teams have been greeted with Florida postcard weather with blue skies and temperatures in the 70s. The results have been pre- dictable. The Audis blistered the track while the screaming Aston Martin DBR9 has drawn a lion's share of the attention. On Monday, Champion Audi led the way with the team of Frank Biela, Emanuele Pirro, and Allan McNish behind the wheel of the No. 2 Audi posting a record-breaking, albeit unoffi- cial, best lap of 1:47.557. That beat the qualifying record of 1:48.029 set by Frank Biela in 2002. The No. 1 Audi driven by JJ Lehto, Marco Werner, and Tom Kristensen set the -second fastest time of the day with a fast lap of 1:48.073. Lehto also celebrated a birth- day at the track Monday. Reportedly he turned 39. Intersport Racing tested two cars Monday. The team is experimenting with a Lola as See ALMS, Page 4B Mulberry The loss ended the Devils' first season under coach Israel Torres at 0-11-1, and the coach said the season will be chalked SP up to a learning experience for him and his players.

The Panthers went 1-2 on their three- day road trip to open the season, getting just 17 hits in the process. Tuesday, the Panthers racked up 12 hits, with five play- ers getting two apiece. "We some real solid plate appearances," Hitt said. The biggest blow came off the bat of Rafael Sierra, who got a first-pitch fastball with two runners on in the fourth inning and "hit it into next week," according to Hitt, for a three-run home run and a 5-0 lead. Sierra finished the game 2 for 4 with 4 RBIs. Jesse Litsch was 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs while Jimmy Miles, Tim Graeser and Barry Padgett all had two hits and two runs scored. Left-handed freshman Jordan Roberts got the win, working five innings and allowing five hits, striking out five and walking one. "He pitched will in his debut," Hitt said. SFCC opened the season with a 3-1 loss at Lake City on Friday against Lake City's Deuente Heath and his 96 mph fastball. SFCC rebounded on Saturday with a 4- 2 win at Santa Fe in Gainesville, with Colin Marshall getting the win in relief of Dusty McGee and David Kellerberg get- ting the save, before the lopsided loss at CFCC on Sunday. See PANTHERS, Page 4B Streaks win shootout to advance to 14-4A championship game By ALEX ACKEMANN Special to the News-Sun LEHIGH ACRES Two overtime periods couldn't decide Tuesday night's District 14-4A semifinal game between Sebring and Lemon Bay. Carl Belcher did. The Blue Streaks' sophorpore goal- keeper stonewalled two shots in a ten- sion-filled shootout to give Sebring a 1-0 victory over the Manta Rays at Lehigh Senior High's James Adams Memorial Stadium. The victory gave the Blue Sebring Streaks a spot in Friday's 7 p.m. champi- onship game against Lemon Bay top-seeded Lehigh, which defeated Palmetto v Ridge 3-1 in the second Up Next semifinal. Streaks in "There's not a word I district title can use to describe how game Friday well he played," Sebring coach Tim Boulay said of Belcher. "It wouldn't do him justice." Freshman Urial Para and senior captains Josh Dobbins and Jorge Ortega converted their penalty kicks for Sebring before Belcher made his second save of the shootout, a jaw- dropping stop diving to his right. Junior Juan Melon then ripped a shot that ricocheted off Lemon Bay senior goalkeeper Corey Proffitt and into the left side of the net, clinching his team's 4-2 victory in the shootout.

True, their roles should've been reversed seeing how it was that Avon Park won the District 10-3A meeting, 53-52, but near comebacks have a funny way of flip-flopping emotions and Lake Placid's nine-point recovery in the sec- ond half was no different. "I'm really pleased with the way that we played tonight," Avon Park Young said. "We never quit and it was a great game Lake Placid for the fans. 52 Because they are 5 county rivals it Up Next was a big game Dragons at for us, but in the Hardee on district it really Thursday; didn't matter. Devils host We're going to DeSoto Friday be the fifth seed (in the district tournament) no matter, so we just used this game to try and get better because we played really poor- ly last Friday. "But this was a great game for the fans and we really feel like we can play with anyone in the district." "Anytime you go into an away game in the district, it's good to get a win," Zwayer reluctantly admitted. "But I think we got a little crazy there in the end and maybe we should've gotten the ball down to (Patrick) Menzies a little bit more. He's a big-time player, he's a power for us on offense and defense, but this was a learning experience." It was another huge game for Menzies, however, with 16 points, 11 rebounds, five blocked shots and two dunks. Teammate Bo Comedore was- n't far behind with 14.points. See SEAL, Page 4B ..

Piper was recogfiized for her accomplishments at the Jan. 22, USA-Water Ski's annual recep- tion and awards banquet in Lakeland. Piper, 14, is currently the highest skilled female athlete competing in kneeboard com- petition. She has won National top honors for three consecu- tive years. In addition to Female Athlete of the Year, her titles include 2004 national slalom and overall girls cham- pion, national women's freestyle champion, Florida state overall champion and slalom record holder. Piper is currently sponsored by HO Water Sports. In October, she won the title of Skionee Kneeboarder of the Year, and honor she shared with team- mate Jared Bohlen, also of Lake Placid. In July, Piper traveled to England, representing the United States in the International Kneeboard Rider Cup and helped Team USA DRAGONS Continued from 1B lone goal came seconds before the final whistle when Humberto Piedad's corner kick ricocheted off a Lake Placid defender and into the net. Yet by then, Lake Placid (8- 2-4) already had the game in hand thanks to another goal by Vasquez in the 30th minute and a penalty kick by Nicholas Petrovich in the 60th minute. "He's been one of our leaders the entire season and scored a lot of big goals," Virkler said of Vasquez. Petrovich, too, played like a star Tuesday night, but on the defensive end as he and the defense helped goalkeeper Oracio Molina make nine saves. "He's been a rock for us at the back," Virkler said. Perhaps the only smudge on the Dragons' night was a series of taunts thrown back and forth between the teams immediately after the match. "There was a lot of intensi- ty," Kline said. "It was a tough game."

Piper placed first in international competition, winning her divi- sion in the slalom and trick events. The Cup, along with memorabilia of the event, is currently housed at the International Water Ski Hall of Fame in Polk City. Piper belongs to the Lake Placid-based Skionee Board Team, named Club of the Year for the last three years in a row by USA-Water Ski, the national governing body of all water ski- ing, surpassing the efforts of over 700 clubs nationwide. Mark Ritchhart of Orlando was named the Male Athlete of the Year. Ritchhart is the 2004 national slalom and overall open men champion and holds the open men slalom record with 67 buoys, the highest num- ber scored worldwide in com- petition. Piper, along with the entire Skionee Board Team, encour- ages those interested in the fun sport of competitive kneeboard- ing to contact local Events Coordinator Robyn in Lake Placid at bohlen@tnni.net or 699-0961.

DEVILS Continued from 1B whole season, but we should be back together by next year," he said. Mulberry (8-6-4) got four goals from team captain Seth Groff and three from Marc Chin - all in the first half to take a 7-1 lead into inter- mission. The scoring started quickly when Groff inter- cepted a pass in front of the Avon Park net and beat a charging Austin Maddox for the goal in the second minute. Chin scored his first goal just a minute later when the Devil defense failed to clear the ball after a Maddox save, leaving Chin SEAL Continued from 1B But it was obvious foul shots would come into play coming into the final minutes, and that favored the Dragons. Lake Placid went 16-of-21 from the charity stripe in the first half (21-of-27 overall) and 66 per- cent of their points before the break came from the line. Jan Valk led his team with eight points in the first half, hitting 6- of-6 foul shots. Avon Park only went to the line three times but was 5-for-6 and led 31-24 at halftime. $20,000. In addition, Klein Tools will present professional air shows selected ALMS events. "This is a tremendous devel- opment for the American Le Mans Series," said Scott Atherton, president and CEO of the ALMS. "We welcome the participation and appreciate that Klein has recognized the value that the American Le Mans Series offers to spon- sors." The one announcement that Atherton did not make, was whether or not fans might see the Maserati MC12 at the track for the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring. He did say the 'ALMS is "working with" all parties con- cerned and referred to the dis- cussions as "an incredibly sen- sitive period of time." STesting at SIR will continue through Thursday. Admission to the raceway is $10, with the money to go to victims of the tsunami. a wide-open look at the net. Alan Crispin and Groff teamed up for the next goal when Crispin passed to Groff, whose shot was blocked by Maddox but bounced right back to Groff for the easy score. Chin added a goal in the 19th minute and another in the. 28th for a 5-0 lead before the Devils got something to smile about in the form of Kyle Williams' goal off a nice pass from Adrian Jahna in the 38th minute. But Groff added two goals in the final minute of the half for a six- goal lead at intermission. - Shu Nakayama and Zach Hall added goals for Mulberry in the second half to end the game in the 59th minute. But by the fourth quarter, the Dragons did plenty to make up for that deficit and regained the lead, 52-51, with 23 second remaining in the game. Lake Placid's Jovanni Shuler gave his team the one-point cushion when he drained consecutive foul shots. Shuler was the main contrib- utor in the Lake Placid's rally to get to that point, igniting the home crowd with two 3-point- ers on his way to a game-high 17 points. It was the first time Lake Placid was ahead since the start of the second quarter when a Quay Crenshaw jumper made it 15-14. "Jio played a great game and he's a guy we can count on," Young said. "He can carry the ball up for us and he can score for us. We talked about him tak- ing a few more shots for us and tonight he did that and some went in." But after a time-out, the Devils had a chance to answer when Menzies was sent to the line on a foul down low with 12 ticks left. The junior regained the lead by hitting his two most import shots of the night, nail- ing both tries before a final Lake Placid shot fell short to seal the game. STREAKS Continued from 1B missed them just because I was too nervous," Melon said. "Luck was with me today." Belcher made a slew of saves during regulation play, and junior sweeper Paul Ashley thwarted a number of offensive surges by the Manta Rays for the Blue Streaks defense. "Everyone played their heart out," Boulay said. "That's why we won." Sebring (7-9-3) slowly gained momentum as the game wore on, outplaying Lemon Bay in two 10-minute over- times before Belcher worked his magic in the clutch. "About two seconds before he shoots, I pick my side and go," Belcher said. "I just leaped."

Jon and Clint Field took turns on each of the cars. Last year's LMP2 Champions, Miracle Motorsports, ran its Courage C65 with drivers John Macaluso, Jeff Bucknum and Chris McMurry. The team uti- lized its new Kumho tires to post a time of 1:52.668. The ever-popular ACEMCO Motorsports Saleen S7R driven by Terry Borcheller, Johnny Mowlem and Ralph Kelleners turned a best lap of 1:57.931. It was their maiden voyage with the new Michelin tires. The Aston Martin set a time of 1:58.883 in early laps with drivers David Brabham and Tomas Enge. The familiar BAM! Racing team represented the GT2 class of the ALMS with drivers Tony Burgess, Leo Hindery, and Mike Rockenfeller, setting a fast lap time of 2:06.626 in their Porsche RSR. They revealed that a factory deal with Yokohama as their tire of choice. Among the tests, there have been a couple of major announcements at the track. First, Aston Martin Racing has confirmed an international driver line up for the 2005 sea- son. There will be a half dozen pilots for the DBR9s. Australian David Brabham, Tomas Enge of the Czech Republic, Peter Kox from the Netherlands, Pedro Lamy of Portugal, Frenchman Stephane Ortelli and Brit Darren Turner will wheel the cars. All are at SIR for the test. The second announcement is Klein Tools now is the Official Hand Tool of the ALMS. As part of the deal, Klein will sponsor the $100,000 Pit Crew Challenge and the annual Crew Chief Award which is worth News-Sun GAINESVILLE The Florida High School Athletic Association has implemented a proposal to extend the football season by one week to include a bye week for teams beginning this fall. The change will allow schools to schedule 10 regular season games over a span of 11 weeks, instead of forcing 10 games to be played in 10 weeks. The move puts Florida in line with several other states, as well as colleges and the NFL, which provide teams with at least one week off during the course of the season. The proposal has been on the table since late last year but was not made official until Monday, forcing schools to come up with two schedules for 2005 one if the 11-week schedule was approved or one if the 10-week schedule remained in place. The 2005 regular season will begin Aug. 26, and the kickoff classics and starting date for practice will also be a week earlier than in the past. Though no bye week has been added elsewhere, most other sports will begin their seasons a week earlier in 2005- 06 as well, according to the FHSAA. PANTHERS Continued from 1B "Our starting pitching was really pretty good all weekend, each guy kept us right in the game and gave us plenty of chances to take the lead and hold it," Hitt said. "We had solid relief efforts on Friday and Saturday from our bullpen, but got beat up a little bit on Sunday late in the ball game so we need to contin- ue to work on our consistency as a staff up and down the order. "From an' offensive perspec- tive, it is early and this week- end it showed. We left 34 run- ners on base in the three-game stand, had 17 hits in three games and never really were able to string anything together as a unit. "We will get better offen- sively, no doubt. We work too hard at it not to." Leading the Panthers' offense for the weekend series were Mike Yates, who was 3 for 10, Dwayne Bailey, who was 3 for 11 a double and a run scored, and Litsch, who went 3 for 12 with two runs scored and a stolen base. Sebring's Trey Cleveland started at second' base on Sunday and turned in a 2-for-3 performance. o~~a ..

She comes by it FA TALES She got quiet, and I honestly, as I tend to could see a hint of a be a verbose at times, C.J. Mouser gin playing at the cor- and my husband Fred ners of her mouth is a storyteller with a catalog of yarns stretching back into the early 1960s. So it came as no surprise when she cornered me a few weeks ago to share her latest discovery. "Mom?" "Yeah?" "You are not going to believe this." Her standard opening. I got comfortable, and gave her my undivided attention. "I was walking home from the bus stop. For the first time in I don't know how long, I actually didn't mind walking home from the bus stop because the weather was nice, you know?" I nodded. "I got to the yard and all the dogs and the cat came running out to meet me. The little pigs in the catch pen jumped up when they saw me, and ran across the pen. grunting...like they do when they get startled." She gazed at me, and I nod- ded, again, content to allow her to 'set her scene'. "Then I saw the most bizarre thing I think I have ever seen." "Yeah?" I was on the edge of my seat. "Something made me look over at that tree by the little chick coop. I looked up into the tree and I saw two feet hanging there." "What kind of feet?" "Chicken feet!" I tried to picture what that must look like, two chicken feet dangling out of the tree tried to anticipate what she was going to say. "Mom, it looked like a ritual sacrifice!" I just stared at her, waiting with bated breath for her to continue. "I went over there to investi- gate and I found this Leghorn hen stuck to a branch, her head back and her mouth open -like this." She tilted her head back, her eyes bulged and her mouth gaped open; her arms draped limply at her sides. while she tried to find a tactful way to describe the horrible end this chicken had come to. "Well, it was dead you know." "I figured that." "I guess it had decided to roost in that tree, and when it jumped up there, it missed. There was a sharp, short branch that it somehow managed to land on. It went up through its bottom beak and into the bot- tom of its top beak which was why its mouth was gaping open." We made instant, and equally appalled faces at each other as the full impact of the gruesome death sank in. Did the poor thing die right away? Or did it hang there for several hours - or even days? How did we manage to walk past that area and not see it suspended there? I shuddered, and Jenny recipro- cated. "That's awful!" I said finally. "I know!" "What did you do?" "I took a stick and knocked the poor thing loose!" "A little late I'm afraid." "Yeah." She gave me a wry grin. "It's not your fault of course. I'm sure you would have done something if you had come by sooner." "Well, yeah." She nod- ded vigorously. "I would have." "I know you would have. But, some animals just cannot be protected from themselves. They're weak and not too bright. In this case though, I think it was just one of those bizarre things that happen. Not your fault at all, or mine, or even the poor chicken's." She nodded at me and I could see that she accepted my expla- nation. "Thanks, Mom." "You betcha." "Mom?" "Yeah?" "It might not hurt for me to go out there and cut off that lit- tle branch, though, just in case." "No, baby." I smiled at her. "It wouldn't hurt a thing."
