HIGHLANDS COUNTY'S HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER SINCE 1927 zv s k - FRIDAY COMING SUNDAY IN THE NEWS-SUN Christopher Tuffley realizes how hard it is to watch children at a day care. WHAT'S INSIDE HOME BUILDING Local women hammer away for Habitat Up Close, 9A * February 18, 2005 50o Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue Saturday marks the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Iwo Jima By SUE ANN CARPENTER News-Sun correspondent LAKE PLACID t appeared as an insignificant speck in the vast Pacific, but the battle to claim it was one of the most ferocious and important of World War II. Iwo Jima (Japanese for Sulfur Island) lies 750 miles from Tokyo in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and is noth- ing more than a pile of volcanic ash and rock, a mere two miles wide and four miles long. At the southern end is the 546-foot high Mount Suribachi volcano, and the northern part has hills with deep gulches. The soil is so porous that there are no streams, and water is scarce. The 1,000 Japanese civilians who operated the sulfur mines were removed before the war began. Economically, it was of no great importance, but as a tool for war, it was strategic. By 1945, the Allied command sensed that the end was near, but they needed to do more than retake the Japanese- captured territories in the periphery. They had to strike at the heart of the Japanese mainland. To accomplish that, they needed air bases on islands closer to Japan. Iwo Jima was first for that purpose, but they'd bombed it for months wjth no success. The well-fortified tunnels on the island made it impenetrable from the air. If Iwo Jima were to be taken, it would have to be done the hard way. On the morning of Feb. 19, 1945, the 4th and 5th Marine Divisions invaded after a 72-hour bombardment. "The boat landing was awful. We crawled off that ship, and the coast was smashed with landing barges and floating dead bodies what a meat grinder that was," 80-year-old Olaf (Ole) Berg of Lake Placid said. "I was a private in the Fourth Marine Division (artillery) and stayed until the war was done. I never had a furlough," Berg said. "A Marine never leaves, kid. The motto Semper Fi means always faithful."' This would be the fourth amphibious assault in 18 months that the Fourth Marine Division took part in. Although Berg r .

'My grandson has all my other war memorabilia, but this shirt is the last piece ... the one I'm proudest of,' Berg said. missed Guadalcanal, he participated in the last three: Saipan, Tinian, and now Iwo Jima. "They call me 'the curmudgeon' because I'm gruff and .'anta erovs.'" Berg said. "I was 18, from Wauwatosa, Wis I joined the Marines because I wanted to be in the best. They still are. Ohce a Marine, always a Marine, kid."

Estimates from' the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, said the county, which had 97,900 people in 2000, could have 204,300. in 2030. About 40 percent of those people would be 65 years or older. The county could have as many as 137,300 by 2010, just five years from now, and 167,200 by 2020. These numbers include seasonal residents, said Don Hanna with the Highlands County Planning Department. The numbers came out as part of the Long Range Transportation Study put together for the county by the Florida Department of Transportation and CH2M Hill, an engineering con- sulting firm in Orlando. If the county and FDOT could build all of the roads engineers figure county residents will need by 2030, it would cost $850 mil- lion, in 2004 dollars.

Apparently, the sign is illegal on several counts. It is an off- premises sign, which the town code forbids, it exceeds the town's height restrictions, and it is either on town right of'way or another property owner's land. Resort manager John Rydecki was supposed to bring a survey to the Lake Placid 'Town Council Monday night and show who owned the prop- erty where the site was posted. However, Rydecki said Germaine Surveying did not have the survey completed in Holiday Inn almost ready, another hotel rumored By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING As work finishes up on Highlands County's newest hotel, word comes that another lodging facility might soon be on the way. "All I can tell you at this point is that they are looking at the property on the corner of U.S. 27 and Tubbs Road," said Sebring Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Pete Pollard. He gave the update at Tuesday night's Sebring City Council meeting. Some council members had indicated it might be a Mariott Residence Inn, however, Pollard said to his knowledge a flag for the hotel has not yet been determined. . It is believed the hotel would stretch four stories into the air and house as many as 80 rooms. Reportedly, the closing on the property is set for the end of this month. Meanwhile, crews from KDL Construction are completing work on the access road to the new Holiday Inn Express & Suites on U.S. 27. The paving project is the last piece of the puzzle to getting the hotel open. "We cannot get the hotel inspected by Holiday Inn until that road has been completed," said developer Raxit Shah. See HOTEL, page 7A time for the meeting and that a title search would be required to resolve the issue. At the council's meeting in January, Rydecki suggested that the-sign might be on state right of way. Since that time, repre- sentatives of the Florida Department of Transportation found that not to be the case. The sign is on property with- in the town limits, although the resort is not, and it is in front of property owned by 'the Yarbrough family. Their attor- ney, Rob Livingston, said the Yarbroughs are having difficul- ty selling the property because prospective buyers are taking issue with the Lake Blue Resort , sign. Town code enforcement offi- cer Lanny Tolly said he meas- ured the distance of the sign to various points. He found that it is four feet off the paved portion of South Lakeview Road and nine feet behind the utility pole on U.S. 27. He said utility poles are usually on the right of way line. "Without a survey specific to the sign and where it is, no one can say," Tolly said. "What we can say is where it isn't.

Jaycees want more money LAKE PLACID The Lake Placid Town Council has been asked to chip in more money for the annual Fourth of July fireworks show over Lake June. The annual show .is staged by the Lake Placid Jaycees. The Jaycees try to pay for the fireworks \through donations, but has been falling short of the how's approximately 310,000 costs. \ The council to budget $2,500 for this year and $5,000 in the future. CORRECTIONS In a business story that ran in Wednesday's News-Sun, the address and phone number for Car-Medic .Center in Sebring was incorrect. The business relocated to 555 U.S. 27, Sebring and the phone number is 385-9898. In the Wednesday edition of the News-Sun, Jerry Edenfield was mis-identified. He is the grandfather of Alicia Martin of Sebring, with whom he danced at the annual American Red Cross Red & White Ball. In a graphic printed Sunday in the News-Sun listing the FCAT dates, there were a few incorrect listings. The correct testing schedule is Test NRT Reading and Math on March 9 for grades 6-8, 60 minutes each; on March 10, elementary schools grades 3-5, Test NRT Reading, and on March 10 high schools grades, 9-10 Test NRT Reading and Math, 60 minutes each; arid on March 11, elementary schools grades 3-5, Test NRT Math. All other test dates in the graphic were correct. The News-Sun regrets these errors. By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Because three schools will be directly effected by the second phase of the Sebring Parkway project, board members met with county offi- cials Tuesday night for a work- shop to coordinate planning and identify possible problems. Deputy Superintendent Jim Bible greeted Carl Cool, county administrator, and Ramon Gavarette, project engineer, with a gift wrapped selection of sharpened pencils. This was because there are some con- cerns, and a sharp point will be needed to resolve them. The second phase of Sebring Parkway will continue the high- way across Ridgewood Drive where it will replace Eucalyptus Street, and run behind Sebring Middle School, cross Lemon Street and Center Avenue before bending up to replace Highlands Avenue where it will run down into U.S. 27. One of the problems involves Fred Wild Elementary School, which will lose 35 feet of its property fronting what is now Highlands Avenue. This means By SHARON JONES News-Sun LAKE PLACID In a rare show of- contentiousness, Councilman Bill Brantley accused the town's code officer of not doing his job and asked when he would retire at Monday's council meeting. Code Enforcement Officer Lanny Tolly was giving his monthly report to the Lake Placid Town Council when Brantley presented him with several pages of digital photos he had taken off Main Street in the area of Plumosa and Washingtonia avenues. Brantley said they represented "more than 100" code viola- : 'tionsin a fout-block area. Brantley' 'asked 'whether Tolly's approach to code enforcement was proactive or reactive. When Tolly firmly said it was proactive, Brantley questioned why he was not doing his jbb. Tolly advised Brantley to bring his concerns to his office when he had them. Brantley then asked whether Tolly even drove around the town looking for code viola- tions. He said the ones he had documented amounted to bro- ken screens, storm debris~ that had yet to be disposed of, and grass growing up to three times the height allowed by town code, "We shouldn't have to tell you how to do your job," Brantley said. "You shouldn't have to tell me to do my job," Tolly responded. "The mayor should tell me to do my job." As the heated exchange flew back and forth between the two, Councilman Jim Waller finally interrupted it by rebuking Brantley. "Why do you have to keep humiliating the man like this?" Waller asked. "If you have a problem, you should take it up with him in his office, not in this council meeting room where everyone can see it on the entrance to the school will be rerouted to Youth Care Lane, and the administration offices will have to be relocated within the campus, possibly in a new building. The board felt it would be wiser to redesign Fred Wild before laying down roads. Sebring Middle School will also be impacted by the changes, not because it fronts .on the highway, but because of the altered traffic patterns that will significantly increase the flow of traffic on Center Avenue. Board members expressed strong reservations about that increased traffic. "This will be forcing traffic onto one street, where before (drivers) had options," board member Wendy Renfro said. "The main pick-up point is already a major bottle neck at school release time, it's going to have to be adapted, and that will cost money. We might have to move it to the back and would need to buy property to do that." Bible and county officials agreed to visit the school at dis- missal time to observe the situ- "I know you just want to get out of here," Brantley told Waller, and went on with his complaints. Brantley received three com- plaints about code enforcement in the past three weeks. "Everyone talks about it, but I'm the only'one who says any- thing about it," Brantley said. During the exchange, Tolly told the council he intended to retire in November. He advised the council to begin looking for a replacement in July and hire them in September. Because Tolly will be receiv- ing Social Security during those months, his pay will decrease accordingg. Tolly' suggested that savings niighT offset the cost of having two code enforcement officers for two months, and the new officer would benefit from training. ation and conduct a car count, although Cool indicated that while the car count would rise, he felt that the increased num- ber of lanes and the signal light which would be added, would take care of the problem. Sebring High School is not only effected by the Parkway's expansion, but also by the coun- ty's plans for. an extensive recreation center, which is pro- posed for the area just north of the school's campus. Current plans call for con- structing a tournament quality center with five softball dia- monds, a football field with bleachers and lights, two soccer fields and one field large enough to accommodate three teams practicing at the same time. These fields will be designed for maximum use, adaptable for adult and youth play. Additional fields and tennis courts are planned for the school campus, which is sepa- rated from the county project by railroad tracks. Parking lots at the school will be reconfigured, and new ones, added for easier access to the Parkway. Signal lights will be added at Commerce Street. Bus access will be provided by a new access road created from the northern entrance to the Children's Services Center, which will then swing around and over to the school. The buses, staff and seniors would exit the campus via Commerce Avenue. Other student, parking would be shifted to an expand- ed parking lot on the south east end of the school, and the entrance moved a little further east on Kenilworth Avenue. The board felt these moves were a'good'plan, but had.con- cerns about the future, especial- ly because of the unprecedented growth in student population, which means the high school will have to add classrooms and expand the cafeteria in the future. Board member Donna Howerton said there is a grow- ing interest in vocational educa- tion and that due to a lack of sites, a vocational center might have to' be built at Sebring High School. The problem is space, which is already cramped. "We need to be able to add a minimum of three additional classroom buildings," board member J. Ned Hancock said. "It's a good plan, don't get me wrong, but we need to plan ahead, we don't want to put roads in, only to pull them out to build classes." One possibility would be to construct a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks, so the high school could use the coun- ty play fields, thereby saving the area where school fields are planned in addition. The board recognized the need for a recreational center, especially one that can draw tournaments to the county, but insisted that a hard look be taken at the entire picture to avoid duplication of effort and future costly corrections. Cool agreed it was important to look ahead, while the board agreed it was important to work cooperatively. The work with sharpened pencils goes on.

Hartman charged with 28 forgeries of daughter's checks By PHIL ATiTNGER News-Sun LAKE PLACID On Wednesday, Feb. 16, Highlands County sheriff's deputies charged David Eugene Hartman, 44, of Sebring, with grand theft, 28 counts of for- gery and 28 counts of uttering a forged instrument. He allegedly stole the checks from his daughter. He lived with her in Lake Placid throughout 2004, and during that time, some of the checks came up missing. She didn't think anything ,of it until Jan. 4, 2005, when she found money missing from her account. That's when she learned the missing checks had been forged. Her signature on the checks looked to her like her father's handwriting. All the checks were passed at Jayvee Stores, two locations that Hartman fre- quented. One of them is in Sebring; the other in Lake Placid. All of the checks were made out to David Hartman, but the odd check was' made out to Jayvee. All of .the checks were passed between Nov. 18, .2004, and Jan. 4, 2005. Amounts ranged from $30-$52, with the exception of one check for $70 and another for $160. The total value of the checks was $1,168. Sheriff's deputies contacted the owner of the two stores and he said Hartman is a reg- ular customer. He also said that Hartman was the one bringing in the checks drawn on the daughter's account, telling the owner that he was doing work for the daughter and that checks were payment for, that work. , The owner of the stores said he had also authorized his employees to cash the checks, as well. BARRY FOSTER/News-Sun West Sebring Volunteer firefighters discuss a one-car accident Thursday evening while they await a tow truck to take the vehicle driven by Pamela Forman of Sebring from the scene. Driver buckles up in time for crash By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING A Sebring woman who was trying to fas- ten her seat belt reportedly lost control of her car, rolled it and hit the side of a house Thursday evening. Pamela Forman, 35, told troopers she was southbound on Memorial Drive and had reached down to click her seat belt into the holder. However, the action pulled the wheel to the right and she went off the side of road. . Troopers said she over cor- rected, spun around then rolled the car up an embankment and into the screen room on the back of the duplex. Apparently she was able to get the belt fastened just before the accident occurred. Rita Murphy was on her way back home from the store about 4:30 p.m. Thursday. As she traveled southward on Memorial Drive, she saw a Highlands County Sheriff's cruiser with lights blazing come by her. When Murphy approached her turnoff, she again saw the cruiser with a deputy standing at the intersection of Memorial and Valerie drives. "I thought the accident was there at the crossroads," she said. It was then she spotted Forman's Pontiac Grand Prix GT upside down and resting against her screen room. Neighbors gathered to watch as the West Sebring Volunteer Fire Department worked with Highlands County Emergency Management personnel to ,extract the young driver from the car. Forman was taken to Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center where she was treated and released. It was in September that Murphy first moved into the duplex next to the busy inter- section. "There are a lot of accidents that happen there," she said - gesturing to the crossroads.- "And they really come flying around that curve." The vehicle miraculously just missed a pine tree stump next to the building. "I had a refrigerator out on the back porch there and that was hit," she said. Charges in the incident are pending further investigation. SEBRING Volunteers from the' Highlands Park Fire Department were called out during the pre-dawn hours Wednesday to extinguish a fire at a home on Pershing Avenue. Reportedly, the Royce Ellis home was fully involved in flames when units arrived on the scene. The father and son living in the manufactured home escaped without injury. No dollar damage estimate is yet available. Units from the Sun 'N Lake South, Lake Placid and Placid Lakes volunteer fire depart- ments gave mutual aid in fight- ing the fire. An electrical problem is sus- pected, but State Fire Marshal Investigator Brandon Ball is looking into the cause of the fire. ART GALLERY Pictures & Frames Home Decor & More 2045 US 27 N.

Father and son escape from burning home ;PecCetca & r~~ ~C News-Sun, Friday, February 18, 2005 A Grant writing workshop open to public Avon Park looks to organize CERT team By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun AVON PARK- Just as the latest Community Emergency Response Team received its certification, the city of Avon Park is looking at starting yet another one. Councilman Doug Eason asked that the item be placed on Monday night's agenda so it could be discussed by all of the city officials. "I think it's an idea worth exploring," said Capt. Preston Colby of Florida Public Safety. It was he and then-Avon Park Fire Inspector Charles Anderson who started the first such team better than two years ago at South Florida Community College. Colby has helped with all of the CERT teams to date. "People are going to help people in the event of a disas- ter," Colby said. "The best thing to do is to give them train- ing, uncommon sense and equipment." Calling the CERT teams a. "force multiplier," Colby point- ed out that the out of pocket expenses for the city probably would be nothing, inasmuch as the federal government has seen the value of such training and has provided funding through the department of homeland security. "I suggest we begin by ask- ing people in the community if they are interested," Colby said, noting that he would take care of the organization, funding sources and training. He recommended as a first step, that he meet with Avon Park City Manager C.B. Shirey and selected staff members to discuss the how, when and Council approves three site plans News-Sun LAKE PLACID The Lake Placid Town Council approved site plans for three new or expanding businesses Monday night. The Michael A. Brochetti Funeral Home was approved to be constructed on lots four and five in Placid Plaza. Council members took issue with the 24 planned parking places. They feared that num- ber would be insufficient to accommodate funerals and viewings. The number of spaces exceed the requirements of town code. Therefore, council could not reject the site plan for insufficient parking. The second site plan was for Gregory and Pamela Karlson. They want to construct residen- tial office space on 3.72 acres at Hillcrest Street and Dal Hal Boulevard. He sells real estate, and she is. an attorney. The final site plan was for Finishing Touches, which sells draperies and window treat- ments. It wants to construct a 2,000-square-foot building at the corner of Hillcrest and Georgia streets. For that quarter acre, the council also approved a small scale amendment to the town's comprehensive plan, changing the land use from low- to medium-density resi- dential to commercial general. where of a CERT team organi- zation. Colby said he would use the models of the SFCC and Highlands County School Board teams as the template for the team put together through the city of Avon Park. The certification of the sec- ond school board CERT team earlier this month made it the third such team to be organized in Highlands County. It brought to 50 the number of school system members who now are trained to deal with emergency situations mostly in the Highlands County school - system. In addition, Colby has sug- gested that numerous different organizations including both local hospital develop CERT teams that in time could take on specialties to help during the time of natural disasters or man-made accidents. Colby said there is a great deal of misconception 'about CERT teams and what they can - and cannot -do. The Citizen Corps web site explains that the CERT pro- gram helps to train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give criti- cal support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize sponta- neous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency proj- ects that help improve the safe- of the community. CERT training includes dis- Aster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, and light search and rescue operations. Over the next two years, Citizen Corps officials said their aim is to double the num- ber of participants, with over 400,000 individuals completing the 20 plus hours of training. In fact, Train-the-Trainer ses- sions will be held in all' 50 states pluhis the United States' territories over the next year to expand the program.

While Rydecki begged the council to let him keep the sign and Councilman Bill Brantley called it a landmark, Livingston said the sign needed to go. "This is a situation where we need to do what is right to follow the rules and follow the law," Livingston said. "My clients, the Yarbroughs, are being hurt by this. Either it's on the city right of way or its on the Yarbroughs' property." Councilwoman Debra Worley said the council had an obligation to act on behalf of its taxpayers, the Yarbroughs, and enforce its laws in its town lim- its. Eventually, Councilmen Jim Waller, Charles Wilson and Brantley sided with her. "I don't think we have a choice," Waller told Rydecki. "There's no gray area. There's nothing lining up in your favor." Brantley said the sign was in the right of way, too tall and off premise. "I think it has historical value. I think it should stay, but I don't see any possible way we can allow it," Brantley said. Wilson said the problem was that if the council allowed the sign, it would have to give all businesses the same considera- tion. "It's pretty clear it's not on one person's property, it's on our property," Wilson said. "It's a slippery slope. If we let one person do it, we have to let everyone do it." The council voted unani- mously to give Rydecki 30 days to take down the sign or give them a compelling reason as to why it should not be removed. Although Rydecki at first said he wouldn't take the sign down even in 30 days, he later relent- ed and said he would remove it if he had to. KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sun APAC crew members finish paving a turn lane Thursday morning leading to the new Holiday Inn & Express on U.S. 27 North in Sebring. VALOR Continued from 1A Ashore, the amphtracs found volcanic ash and cinders poor going, and the terraces of Mount Suribachi insurmount- able. Tremendous mortar fire rained from the mouths of their cleverly constructed tunnels. Iwo Jima had to be taken yard by yard, fighting up bare slopes against a seasoned, strongly entrenched enemy. Soldiers were unfortunately familiar with the obedient, fanatical and fatalistic code of bushido, which required Japanese soldiers to fight to the death, as the Emperor demand- ed. Believing surrender meant disgrace they preferred sui- cide to capture. This would be like lifting the lid on Hell. In the end, out of the entire Japanese garrison, of 20,000 men on Iwo Jima, only 216 were taken alive, while 30 per- cent of the American landing force became casualties. Almost 7,000 Americans were killed in action at Iwo Jima, with more than 20,000 casualties. Almost one-third of all Marines killed in action in World War II were killed on Iwo Jima, making it the battle with the highest number of casualties in Marine Corps his- tory. Twenty-seven Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded more than kere awarded to Marines and--Na\\~ in any other battle in this coun- try's history. By then the Allies had per- fected the technique of amphibious warfare, which involved air, land and sea forces working as a team. And they knew capturing Iwo Jima was instrumental to ending the war. Before the Marines landed; Japanese fighter planes attacked American bombers from there. But afterward, U.S. fighter planes would use the airstrips to protect their bombers flying from Saipan and Tinian to Japan. And crip- pled B29 bombers returning from raids on Japan used it for emergency landings. "That first night, we were all dug in that soft sand of our fox- Highest bidder gets town's plant News-Sun LAKE PLACID By tak- ing advantage of an open bid- ding process, the town of Lake Placid's utilities director man- aged to raise bids for the town's old wastewater treatment plant by $20,000. In his report to the Lake Placid Town Council Monday night, Freeman said Christopher Clark and Frederick Bowen submitted bids of $50,000 and $51,250, respectively. Since the spread between them was small, Freeman asked the bidders if they would be interested in sweetening the pot. Clark won the bid with $71,000. holes. It was incredibly hot and smelled horribly of sulphur. The Japanese continuously fired their cannons; strafing a path across this way, then back again. As each strike passed, you'd count, and then breathe; surprised it missed you. We lived on cigarettes and water," Berg said, taking a long final drag on his cigarette, crushing it, and then lighting another as he continued. "We secured the island. We took it for the air corps so they could bomb Japan." "I was a telephone lineman. My job was to hook 'em up. I crawled along by the airstrip with a reel of wire and then it ran out while shots peppered toward me," Berg said. "That was the fastest splice I ever made. It was my job, to get that phone in. Luckily, I was just out of range of those shots, and I sure made the dirt fly as I got out of there." The 28th Regiment, 5th Division, was ordered to cap- ture Mount Suribachi. They reached the base of the moun- tain on the afternoon of Feb. 21, and by nightfall the next day had almost completely sur- rounded it. On the morning of Feb. 23, Marines of Company E, 2nd Battalion, started the tor- tuous climb up the rough terrain to the top. At about 10:30 a.m., the sight of a small American flag flying atop Suribachi thrilled men all over the island. *That alterluon, when the slopes were clear of enemy. resistance, a second, larger flag was raised by five Marines and a Navy hospital corpsman: Sgt. Michael Strank, Cpl. Harlon H. Block, Pfc. Franklin R. Sousley, Pfc. Rene A. Gagnoh, Pfc. Ira Hayes, and PhM.2/c John H. Bradley, USN. "When that flag went up, there wasn't a dry eye on the island," Berg said. News-photographer Joe Rosenthal caught the raising of the afternoon flag in an inspir- ing Pulitzer-Prize-winning pho- tograph. When the picture was later released, sculptor Felix W. de Weldon, then on duty with the U.S. Navy, was so moved that, he constructed a scale model and later a life-size model. Gagnon, Hayes, and Bradley, the three survivors of * the flag raising (the others were killed before the battle was over) posed for the sculptor. After Iwo Jima, Okinawa was the next to fall. But at the height of the battle, President Theodore Roosevelt suddenly died. His successor, unknown Harry S. Truman, quickly made a decision: The grim reaping scythe of atomic bombs on Aug. 6 at Hiroshima and Aug. 9 on Nagasaki ended the war. Unconditional surrender fol- lowed on Aug. 14. On Nov. 10, 1954, (the 179th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps,) President Dwight D. Eisenhower dedicat- ed erection of the final Iwo Jima memorial in Arlington, Va.

Crews began paving on the road earlier this week. Ken LaGrow of KDL said one of the major hold-ups has been the inability to get asphalt to do the job.

"They're making that for a project they're doing," LaGrow said. He said there was asphalt available outside the county at MacAsphalt's Winter Haven facility, but it was the trans- portation of the material that presented a problem. "We've had cold weather," he said. "That's an hour drive. By the time we would have got- ten it here, it would have been too cool. " As LaGrow explained it, the asphalt must be kept at a tem- perature no cooler than 275 degrees. If it is not kept at the proper temperature, the asphalt loses its integrity. In fact, it was the cooler tem- and older, said Kevin Roberts, director of Highlands County Human Services. The county receives funds from the Elder Americans Act and the Florida Department of Elder Affairs through county government and private non-profit agencies. The West Central Florida Area Agency on Aging cov- ering Highlands, Hardee, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Polk counties makes an assessment on' what's needed.

"I've been in this business 13 years," Roberts said, "and I've never seen a community so giv- ing to people in need. I've got a feeling we will continue to do just that." Hanna said the bureau statis- tics have historically underesti- mated the county's population. It may be because the reports were based on building permits or another variable. Either way, his planners took numbers the bureau ga're as a middle esti- mate and a high estimate and - split the difference.

KATHY FOWLER Habitat for Humanity Care-a-vanner By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun AVON PARK F or weeks now the hammers have been pounding and the saws whirring as a dedicated group of women volunteers build a house for Gloria Bryant and her family. The house is one of six current Highlands County Habitat for Humanity projects under way. It should be completed in April. The women work every Thursday and Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers are needed for the project to remain on sched- ule. Women do not need to have building experience in order to make a contribution. Men are welcome to pass nails or pour water, but the work is entirely in feminine hands. A special group of volunteers were in evidence on the work site Saturday. Known as Care-a-vanners, they travel the country for Habitat for Humanity and work where volunteers are hard to come by or on projects that require extra help. Patty Carney and Linda Mercer drove down from Cape Cod, Mass., to lend a hand. Kathy Fowler and her husband, Bob, came from Melbourne. Many of the Care-a-vanners are retired, and some spend the year helping at different sites. Most work three projects a year. "It's a great way to see the country and meet nice people, really nice people" Kathy Fowler said. Habitat is celebrating another success this month. Saturday marked the third anniversary of the Habitat Home Supply Store, 137 S. Commerce Ave. During its anniver- sary week Feb. 19-25 the store will have specials every day. It offers free pickups for large donations such as building supplies, furniture and appliances. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The number is 385-7111.

He was followed by Hurricane Frances and finally Hurricane Jeanne. By then, public safety offi- cials were too involved with clean up efforts either of their community or their personal property. Then, once things started get- ting to where they felt normal again, the elections and holi- days were here. But, the News-Sun was not about to let these events, whether planned or not, keep from honoring these men who our readers nominated and judges selected as our 2004 Highlands Heroes. The purpose of this award is to honor the heroes of Highlands County working as paid employees and volunteers in public service. They work for the county's police depart- ments, sheriff's office, fire departments, Emergency Medical Services, emergency operations, and forestry. The nominations were also opened to include Florida Highway Patrol, AeroMed, Avon Park Correctional Institute and Florida Fish and Game, though no one from these agencies was nominated this year. For the first time, the News- Sun also opened the nomina- tions to also include a resident Highla of Highlands County who has performed a heroic act. Criteria for the nomination was that the person resides in Highlands County and works as a paid employee or volunteer in one of the above mentioned public service field. Past nomi- nees for the award can be renominated. Nominations were made .by peers as well as members of the general public. Judges, who did not include News-Sun employees, base their decisions on the nominee's work history and community involvement. The decisions of the judges is final. Each honoree received a beautiful plaque with their name inscribed, as well as "admired for your achieve- ments, noble qualities and con- sidered a model citizen in Highlands County. Thanks from those you serve and protect." The Highlands Heroes for 2004 are: County Law Enforcement Hero Tom Ouverson is a crime scene technician at Highlands County Sheriff's Office, but his love of community takes him far outside of the office and away from the crime scene. Ouverson is also on call for major crime, scenes even with- in the limits of the county's- three cities. He also finds time to coach Little League and has devoted much of his off-duty time to our youth. The person who nominated Ouverson said, "This leadership role can never have a price tag nds Heroes are honored placed on it." IN Kimberly Ward, a 911 dis- patcher, was named the Emergency Operations Hero. The person nominating her said, "911 dispatchers are unsung heroes who provide a critical link between persons needing emergency services and responding agencies that provide these emergency serv- ices." Ward is a model dispatcher with Highlands County. In her 14 years of employment, she has received numerous Wellness awards for attendance and a Merit Award for outstand- ing performance. She has taken numerous continuing education classes and often provides on- the-job training to newly hired dispatchers. "She exemplifies dispatching as it should be done," her nom- ination read. Richard Gavagni, the Professional Fire Service Hero for 2004, has been a member of the Highlands Park Volunteer Fire Department for more than 20 years. His call to duty was so strong that he went back to school in his 40s so that he might become a certified EMT, then a firefighter and most recently, a hazardous materials technician. He is the only state certified haz-mat technician in Highlands County and one of only 82 in the state. He volunteered to help with the North Florida Firestorm in 1998 and helped the city of Arcadia get a start on its recov- ery after Hurricane Charley. Courtesy photo Tom Ouverson (center) was named County Law Enforcement Hero for 2004. When not working as a crime scene technician, Ouverson also finds time to coach and mentor youth in the Sebring Dixie Youth Baseball league. Presenting the award were Sheriff Susan Benton and 'News-Sun' Publisher Ralph Bush. After volunteering for a number of years, Lee Andrus joined Highlands County Emergency Medical Services as his chosen career. He is dedicated to providing the best possible care on each and every call. He works hard at maintaining and increasing his job knowledge and consistently works 25-30 extra shifts and/or special assignments each year. Andrus has also served a number of years for the Glades Electric Co-Op board. His nomination form read, "In times of individual or com- munity need, Lee is the first to show up to contribute his time, money or whatever is needed." Lee Andrus is the Emergency Medical Services Hero. E Thomas H. Bellamy was named the first citizen Highlands Hero. The person nominating Bellamy said, "He gives 100 percent to his job, his community and the people of Highlands County." He and the Progress Energy crew went in at midnight after Hurricane Charley hit, dodging a lot of debris and down power lines to do what they could to begin power restoration to Highlands County residents. ' Bellamy is also a cancer sur- vivor, having had cancer five times. He has lost some of his hearing and lost half of a lung, but he continues to do what he loves work as a Progress Energy crew member. N Capt.

KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sun Sebring Police Chief Tom Dettman (left) presents Sean Beuford the Municipal Civilian Law Enforcement Hero honor. Beuford started work this week as a sworn officer for the city of Sebring. HEROES Continued from 12A seven years in the volunteer fire service. One of those lives he helped save was that.of a little boy, Elijah Crivello-Frazier, who fell in his grandparents' pool and was not breathing when he arrived. Hicks took over giving the child CPR for a civilian and helped bring that little lifeless boy back to life. "He has demonstrated deter- mination, sincerity and avail- ability that make him a true leader in the community," his nomination read. Hicks is the Volunteer Fire Sesvice Hero for 2004. Sean Beuford was a dis- patcher for Sebring Police Department when he rushed into the home of Jon and Marsha Bush in May 2004 to carry Marsha Bush from the burning house. Marsha Bush had been asleep and awoke when she heard Beuford's knock but went back to bed after opening and *losing the door again. Beuford went into the house, thinking only of saving Marsha Bush from the burning struc- ture. Beuford started work this week as a certified police offi- cer, now patrolling the streets of Sebring. He received the honor of being named Municipal Civilian Law Enforcement Hero for 2004. At a time when most everyone else in Highlands County was safe and secure as Hurricane Charley came barrel- ing through, Sgt. Greg Warner, Detective Jason Lister and offi- cers Mike Huften and Steve Worley were out following a lead from a TV newsperson that one of Avon Park's businesses was being looted. Flying debris, pelting rain and heavy wind gusts were not enough to keep these officers from making three arrests that day and keeping one business safe. These four Avon Park police officers were named the 2004 Municipal Law Enforcement Heroes. Area Supervisor Tim Elder was named to receive the Division of Forestry. Hero' award. Elder was quick to respond in the wake of the hurricanes ... and not just in Highlands County. He also responded to St. Lucie County within hours after the storms passed to help distribute water, food and ice. He also heads West when duty calls to manage fire fighting air- craft as he has done for the past 20 years. He has supervised and imple- mented a wildfire fuel reduction program that substantially exceeded expectations of man- agement. These practices affected more than 2,000 acres in Highlands County for either prescribed bums or mechanical treatment. The Highlands Heroes award and its ceremony was originally established in September 2002 by the News-Sun and county government staff to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks on this nation on Sept. 11, 2001, and to take time to honor our own public safety officials.

When he became involved in the league 18 years ago, the Highlands Youth Football league was only two years old. Under his direction, the fledgling county-wide foot- ball league grew to take in youth football teams from four counties and became affiliated with Pop Warner Football. Today, the league has 30 teams that represent more than 1,000 youth athletes. After 18 years, Weed has earned the right to step aside. His successor, Mark Every of Fort Meade, has vowed to continue Weed's desire that the league emphasizes edu- cation as well as sports. Weed's legacy is positive proof of what can be accom- plished with vision and drive. Volunteers make a differ- ence every day, frequently without acknowledgment or thanks, but with the satisfaction of seeing others benefit from the work they do. And we are grateful. That's why we can't let Jim Weed slip away quietly without saying: Thank you for caring about kids and making a difference in Highlands County. 'Jeni's' a special dining treat Editor: Rarely do we have the opportunity to enjoy the level of dining you will experience at "Jeni's on South Lake." We had that privilege this past Friday evening and want to share some of our observations. First, you have to admire a couple who would come to a small town, especially one that has suffered greatly from three hurricanes, and sink their money and muscle into restor- ing a store front at 3 S. Lake Ave. Secondly. \ou rate a restau- r nt on threle-4 's -ervice, f_ tieirs- is Etr3opean or grand; food, theirs is delicious and presented like art; and ambi- ence, theirs is just casual enough with a touch of ele- gance. And finally if you set your heart on all of the above and the price isn't right the evening falls short. You will not have that worry at "Jeni's." They have positioned their prices just right low enough to get you there and just enough to serve you the quality they demand., We sat at Chef. Malcolm's table six of us and spent the evening sampling creations such as spinach stuffed arti- choke hearts, deviled eggs topped with caviar and slices of stuffed chicken breast swim- ming in creamy gorgonzola sauce until we said, "No more!" All of this and an extensive wine list that will help you enjoy every morsel. Mark your calendars now, give them a call at 453-0034 and make a reservation for a delightful evening. After all, the Avon Park chamber has blanketed our city with signs and posters inviting you to "Visit and Shop in Avon Park." Look no farther. Gourmet has come to our city and you will not be disappoint- Justine Devlin Avon Park Go to Cue Time for a good time Editor: For those of you looking for a great place to spend some time, there is a billiards room here in Sebring. It is owned by Chuck White and he runs one of the best pool halls around. We have visited several but none match the quality of Cue Time Billiards. He cleans the pool balls after every use and has the tables vacuumed every night. His pool sticks are straight and in excellent condition. That is by no accident either. We actually saw Chuck, the owner, going around and checking out all of these sticks and throwing away what was bent. The atmosphere is pleas- ant and family-oriented too. We have seen throughout the year many families enjoying them- selves for a few hours at the pool hall. If you want to have an enjoy- able evening for family or even a date,' you should check out Cue Time Billiards. We did and have enjoyed being' patrons there ever since.

S"Cop riYghted Material Syndicted Conten Available from Commercial News Providers' 0: 10 I" waia FCAT is too high a stake test Editor: An open letter to the Florida Senate Education Committee, Education Appropriation Committee and House Education Commitee members: Although I believe in hold- ing schools accountable for successfully educating our chil- dren, I also believe that you as a legislator must be held accountable for what your laws regarding the FCAT are doing to our schools and our children. This test is based on unrea- sonable and an unattainable number of Sunshine State Standards per grade and should not be the one and only test used to measure our children's progress. By making the FCAT such a high stakes test, you must accept responsibility for the "real life" effects of this decision. You are putting our students under such mental stress that many become physically ill before and after administration of the test. Third-grade students (age 8) are told from the first day of school that if they don't pass this one rest they will fail the grade just a little pres- sure, huh? Students spend the first six months of the school year being taught to the test and the last three months worrying about whether or not they passed it and will go on to fourth grade, or in .other cases graduate from high school. Schools are altering their cur- riculum in order to "teach to the FCAT," often leaving out basic concepts because "there isn't time to teach them" until after this test. Since you have chosen to make this such a high stakes test, maybe you should also consider establishing funding to .care for the effects of the mental and physical stress that you are creating ini our chil- dren. Good teachers are run- ning from "C" and "D" schools, so where does that leave our children? As a parent and a voter, I expect you to understand and take responsibility for the chaos you are creating. Reasonable standards and mul- tiple tools for holding schools accountable would be the com- mon sense approach. Do you still have it? Look at you; it must have worked for your education did- n't it? Perhaps voters should create an FCAT requirement for legis- lators in order for them to keep their jobs every year. Governor Bush can't be re- elected, what about you? Carol Szoka Sebring Nations don't like invaders Editor: The part of the budget that Bush does nrot want to talk about, the cost of the Iraqi war and Social Security. Will Iraq form a democracy after all the loss of life on both sides. and the huge amount of American tax dollars? No. Iraq will go the way of Iran. No nation likes an invader. They do,, jltlike, Americans. -Willt we WBte'the-tax-drain;, $80 billioA. Again, a perma- nent tax cut for the top 1 per- cent. Are we "short-changing" the American taxpayer? Iraq has the second largest oil reserve in the world. Let Iraq pay for its own military and its own reconstruction. America's infrastructure is falling apart in all of the states. Our infrastructures are in shambles all across America. The American taxpayer should demand that America's infrastructure be a first priority "our" tax dollars and not a for- eign interest, worldwide. George Bush's budget reads like a comic book. Without jobs for Americans, there can be no taxes. President William McKinley was staunch when tariffs were at issue. In a speech in Boston on Feb. 9, 1888, he insisted: "Every yard of cloth import- ed here makes a demand for one yard less of American fab- ric. Let England take care of herself. Let France look after her own interest. Let Germany take care of her own people but in God's name let Americans look after America." Billie E. Jewett Sebring Stunned at repeated slurs Editor: I recently moved here (about 10 month ago) and have been received by wonderful, friendly neighbors and very warm local folks. Last night I had the privilege of performing in a band for the "Red and White Ball" held at the Lakeside Playhouse. It was a very enjoyable night up until after the Ball. Our bass player invited me for a beer at the bar. Once we sat up at the bar, our order was taken and then an elderly man walked up as if he was announcing to the clientele that there was a "black guy" and an "Asian" at the bar. We were both a bit surprised at his remarks. But he went on and said it again we have a "black guy" and an "Asian" at the bar and a "queer" behind the bar (referring to a young male bartender), all the while shaking his head in apparent disgust. He didn't stop and went on, but now using racial slurs (which I shall not bother to repeat). It was then we walked out, pretty much stunned at the whole "incident," On the way otit," a" ptfo'n stopped us' andi essentially apologized for this man's behavior, telling us that he was a "bitter" man. I highly doubt that the staff and management would con- done this kind of behavior. However, I was left with the impression that, at least to the local patrons, they knew about him. It is clear to me that this man needs retraining in an awareness in multi-culture diversity. In this 21st century we are truly a "global neighborhood," I can only feel saddened by the fact that after serving proudly for my country to protect free- dom and the rights we enjoy, that there are those who take it for granted, much less to sim- ply respect one another.

If that is what makes us liberals, so be it, just as long as in reporting the news we adhere to the first ideals of good journalism that news reports must be fair, accurate and unbiased.' WALTER CRONKITE, journalist, 2003 AT RANDOM Romona Washington The men in my life I am not sure which my son is most worried about the FCAT coming up or his first game Saturday against a real pitcher. As a third-grader, Daniel will be taking the FCAT for the first time. He has been talking about it and talking it, getting on the Web site that his teacher has told him about to practice, and still manages to tell me on almost a daily basis, "Momma, I'm scared about the FCAT." I try to reassure him that it will be OK. All he has to do is make sure he takes his time to read the directions and ques- tions thoroughly, and to answer the best he can. Not just to look and assume he knows what the question is asking and then guess at an answer. As for baseball, I just tell him to think of the pitcher as only a classmate. Afterall, he's going to be about the same age as Daniel or they wouldn't be in the same league. Besides, Daniel has been playing baseball for four years now. He started with T-ball, then moved up to the pitching machine. I don't know about all of the pitching machines, but I know one that his team used from time to time last year was nothing to brag about. I think I could have done a better job getting out there and pitching to the'boys. Anyway, he's been enjo\ ing. 'practice and it is good e\ercise Now if I can just ease those"`- fears. We got up Wednesday morn- ing and had low water pressure. I checked to make sure I didn't have any major leaks anywhere and to make sure the outside spigots had not been turned on and left on. Then I checked the pump to make sure it hadn't burned up. When I was pretty sure I had checked everything I needed to, I hurried the kids off to school and put a phone call into my dad for some advice. He told me a couple of things to try and assured me all would be fine until I got home after work. Well, his suggestions didn't work for me ... but- then I only had about five minutes before I had to hurry off to a football meeting, then had baseball practice, ... you know the rou- tine. When I finally got home about 9 p.m. Wednesday night, Dad met me at the house and within five minutes he had found the ant that had crossed my problem, and fixed my garage door opener. Aren't Dad's wonderful for more than just making 'us feel loved and safe, no matter how old we are? I know I don't make a very good "man of the house," so with my dad living just across the lake from me, he makes the next best thing. * I hadn't thought about it until now, maybe that's why my brother lives in Mulberry. He doesn't want to have to deal with my little crisises that I can't seen to take care of. Hmmmmmm. Avon Park lost a good man last week with the passing of Joe Franza. I'll always remem- ber the big man who could take a young man and turn him into an awesome high school foot- ball player, one who would for- ever love him as a mentor. Coach Franza was an awe- some man with a huge heart. He always had our respect and our love. Romona Washington is execu- tive editor of the News-Sun.

Leter II _1 News-Sun, Friday, February 18, 2005 Too many children are 'at risk' Hate crimes are not going away Along the halls and corridors, in the classrooms and cafe- terias of our schools, walk some unhappy, unloved troubled children. These are the chil- dren we label as being dysfunctional and in need of coun- Poll selling and or medica- Po tion ... or positive parental guidance PAULINP While this is true, regardless of how much counseling that child receives, if all is not right at home with momma, if all is not right with dad ... if all is not right between momma and the man who is just passing through, no amount of counsel- ing is going to a help that child. It is therefore necessary for the entire family to receive coun- seling. Many of those children arrive at school tormented, after sleepless nights because momma got a pounding from dad or live-in boyfriend. The only place that is sup- pose to be safe for them is - I1 NT )N E school. There are those students who arrive T with a chip on their shoulder, and advice from parents that "if anyone hits you, bust them up." But what f happens if no one hit that child, yet that IS TO child chooses to hit DER someone ... whether it is another student or a teacher, what Au YANG should the conse- quences be? Trust me, these children are also aware of the repercussions and conse- quences for the injured teacher, should the teacher react. It takes a tremendous amount of emo- tional energy to not react to a physical assault of any kind. The child, regardless" of how old he or she may be, who assaults a teacher needs to face disciplinary measures. There should be no excuses for such extreme behavior. I applaud the teachers or any- one who works with students, for their patience, their dedica- tion and their desire to continue to give support, to continue to teach, their desire to love the unlovely, the ones who in anger smear the walls of the bathroom with feces with no regards for fellow students and staff. According to a survey car- ried out by the non-profit research group, Public Agenda, 82 percent of teachers and 74 percent of parents blame par- ents failure to teach their kids discipline. Fifty-eight percent of teachers nationwide blame parents who challenge school discipline decisions. Whether it's poor discipline at home or lack of discipline, a break down in moral or a spiri- tual decline within the family structure, our children who are referred to as "at risk" need spiritual guidance, strong lead- ership and love so that they will be "children with promise."

You may recall that 2004 and 2005 mark the 40th anniversary of two of the greatest monuments to American ideals of OPINION Marc H. Morial democracy, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Yet, in recent weeks several policy studies and news stories have underscored how far from the promised land of equal opportunity American society remains. For example, statistics com- piled by the FBI indicate that racial bigotry was the cause of more than half of the nearly 7,500 hate crimes reported to the agency in 2003, and that the 2,500 acts of bigotry against African Americans were far greater than the number against any other racial group. The year's totals, which 'were slightly above 2002 figures, are largely comprised of acts of intimidation, vandalism and destruction of property. But they also include a total of 14 murders, more than 2,700 assaults and 400 robberies, bur- glaries and thefts, and 34 inci- Letters policy Make sure to sign your letter and include your address and phone number.

The News-Sun has a long history of encouraging public discussion through letters. dents of arson, The federal docu- ments show that crimes categorized as anti-Islamic remained at about the same level as in 2002: 149, although some question whether these crimes are significantly under-report- ed. By far, most of the hate crimes motivated by religious bias were against Jews: the 927 incidents were about the same as in 2002. Spokesmen for civil rights groups said the figures show a need for stronger federal laws against hate crimes as well as increased Justice Department assistance to local law enforce- ment agencies to prosecute such crimes. Such legislation passed both houses of Congress last year but was tabled when differences in the House and Senate versions couldn't be reconciled. That need takes on greater urgency when one considers that the Southern Poverty Law Center, a respected monitor of acts of bigotry and extremist groups and individuals, con- tends the federal statistics sub- stantially under-report tie reali- ty. Noting that because several states have weak hate-crime laws (some don't recognize bias against sexual orientation as a 'basis for a hate crime) and the reporting done to the FBI by local police departments is entirely voluntary (less than 20 percent of the nation's 11,900 departments do so), the center estimates the real annual num- ber of hate crimes is about 50,000 nearly seven times the federal estimate. Thus, it's even more alarm- ing to read that a recent study by Syracuse University con- cluded from its review of Justice Department data that federal court actions against violations of civil rights laws have fallen significantly since 1999 to less than 2,000 - even as the total number of complaints has held steady at about 12,000 a year. But it's not only government inaction that causes concern: Some seem to feel that issues of race and a commitment to toler- ance and inclusion now can be pushed lower on the public agenda. Certainly, the most bizarre example of this was the aston- ishing vote in November of a. majority of Alabama's white electorate to keep language in the state's constitution mandat- ing segregated schools "for white and colored children" along with language referring to' the poll taxes that in the era of segregation were used to disen- - franchise blacks. This mean-spirited and pathetic clinging to the now-. unused remnants of the anti- democratic regime of the Old. South-some of which still litter several other southern state constitutions too contrasts even more sharply to the vision for America that the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s - and 1960s advocated: one in which the meaning of such- words and phrases as freedom and justice and the pursuit of happiness are not limited to one class of Americans but aie a liv- ing reality that applies to all.

"It was very important," Holy Names head coach Casey Higgins said. "I always tell my players that the first four min- utes of each game is the most important to set the tone.

"If you get the first seed in a situation like this, you're basi- cally saying 'I can move on,' " said Sebring coach Princetdn Harris. Sebring (21-5) will face Lehigh for the title. The Lightning (18-6), ranked No. 12 in the Feb. 15 Florida Sports Writers Association Class 4A poll, held off the Manta Rays 55-51, and will be trying for their fourth consecutive district championship. Sebring, ranked No. 15, pounded Lehigh 68-30 on Jan. 14, but lost to the Lightning 49-40 on Feb. 1. Saturday's winner will host a Region 4 quarterfinal game on Thursday.

"We've got four guys on the bubble that have pretty good draws. If they wrestle well, they can get there. You never know, it just depends on who shows up to wrestle that day."

Retired? Not according to his teammates on Central Security (7-3). They will tell you he is still delivering for them today in the Lake Placid Senior Softball Association. On Monday, Quay pitched his seventh win and eighth complete game of the season as Central Security topped Lake Placid Marine, 7-4. Quay con- sistently kept the Mariner hit- ters off-stride with a baffling array of inside and outside cor- ner pitches. The four runs by L.P. Marine (3-7) was the low- est total in the league in over three years. Yates Insurance (3-8) dropped two gut-wrenching 10- inning games. On Monday, they were one out from victory against Advanced Mobilehome Systems (5-6) when Roger Soriano lined his fourth hit of the game to plate Pete Ilg and tie the game in the ninth. AMS went on to score four more in the tenth to sink Yates, 16-13. Ed Engler, Max Hehn, Don Cunningham and Roger Miller had key run-scoring hits in the 10th frame. Harvey Jones and Jim Hensley homered for Yates. On Wednesday, Gene Cole's fifth hit of the game, a titanic blast of Ruthian proportions over the left-field fence in the 10th inning, proved to be the winning margin as Lake Placid Marine bested Yates, 24-18. Chuck Detore also had five hits for the Mariners, while Bob Fox added four more hits. L.P. Marine apparently regained the hitting touch that Quay took from them just two days before. Also on Wednesday, first- place Seminole Tire (8-2) rolled past AMS, 25-13. Leading the onslaught for the .'Noles was Glenn Minnick with five hits, including a double, two triples, and a home run. Dorin Quigg, Billy Thompson, Harland Newby and Dick Harmick all chipped in with three hits apiece, while Charlie Bishop added a round-tripper. Eli Rivera paced AMS with two home runs, including a grand slam. PLACID Continued from 1B pumped up. Our team feeds off of them," Higgins said. "They just do a great job of handling the pressure. They kept their composure tonight, and they knocked down shots and made free throws. "It's hard to believe that they're only sophomores." When Lake Placid (20-3) got within seven on three separate occasions late in the fourth quarter, the Messinas were sent to the line for a trio of one-and- ones and sunk all six free throws. "We're making 50 free throws in practice each day, and it's definitely helped in clutch situations," Higgins said. Still, the Jaguars were forced into those spots by a persistent, rough-and-tumble Lake Placid effort. "I'm proud of that. It was just a little too late though," LeGree said. "Our press is still work- ing. You'll see it again next year." The Lady Dragons used their ROMP Continued from 1B Acrobatic 6-foot senior Weston Brooks was dominant against Riverdale (5-20), scor- ing a game-high 16 points, including a rousing third-quar- ter dunk. Brooks converted a three-point play on the Streaks' next possession to push the lead past 35 points, causing officials to go with a running clock by rule. ta p tip? ^ Sebring League In Tuesday's Sebring Seniors Softball League action at DeSoto Field, Highlands Independent Bank prevailed in the second extra inning for a 14-9 win over the Silent Salesmen. The Bank, defending league champs, could ill afford another loss if it wishes to successfully defend its title. The Salesmen never led during the contest, but hung tough in order to tie the game at 9-9 at the end of regu- lation play. A big five-run inning in the top of the 10th forged the Banker's victory. Garnering three hits each for the Salesmen were Syd Collins, Jerry Johnson and manager Max Glenn. Hitting for extra bases were Harley Smith (two doubles), Johnston (double) and John Huntley (double). Contributing two hits each were Marv Knutilla, Smith, Bob Flack, Huntley and Dick Harris. For the Bank, Dick Harmic was the winning pitcher and deliv- ered a key bases-loaded triple in the top of the 10th inning. At Lincoln Heights Field, Discount Aluminum took the Yanks down to the wire before falling, 16-15. For the Yanks, leading the way with four hits apiece were Doran Quigg, Surge Prieto and Ross Anderson. Adding three hits each were Don Thomas and Rudy Pribble. Anderson hit for extra bases with a double. At Lake June Field, a third very closely played league game resulted in an 18-16 win for Miller Heating over the Buttonwood Bay Rebels. Getting four hits for Millers was Ralph Gow and adding three hits each were Bob Hensley, Billy Thompson, Howard Carney and Rod Palmer. Hitting homers were Jim Hensley, Glen Minnick and Carney and the winning pitcher was Stu Geim. For the Rebs, Jerry Mattis and manager Stan Turl had four hits. Contributing three hits each were Tony Caristo, Jack Grosso and Les Reib and hitting for extra bases were Mattis (double), Turl (three doubles), Caristo (dou- ble) and Moose Morrissette (two triples). Bud Scott, Bill Skonieczny and Don Matthews were all 2 for 3. trademark press, forcing 15 turnovers, and a 37-26 edge on the boards to try to claw back in the game. "That's all we talked about the last couple of days, is rebounding and taking care of the ball. We had quite a bit of turnovers, but if we could have capitalized on a lot of the shots we had, putting, them back up, we could be heading to Boca Raton or somewhere next week." Post Carletta Robinson was as much of a factor as she's been all season, scoring 15 points and grabbing eight rebounds. Fellow senior Rose Charles scrapped for 11 of her 15 in the second half. "With 50 points on the board, and the shots weren't falling for us; just imagine if they were falling for us, what we would have had," LeGree said. The experience was not in vain, however. "I think under pressure, it taught the freshmen some- thing," LeGree said. "They'll be ready next year. Guaranteed." "He's an athletic kid," Harris said of Brooks. Senior guard Greg Perry and junior forward Luke Birge each finished with seven points, while sophomore Brandon Diaz-Ascani hit on three pretty jump shots for six points in the fourth quarter during mop-up time. Senior center Kevin Dixon, added five points while senior Joseph Aaron and sophomore A.C. Wilson both had four. Advance Sales .. .... Main St. Avon Plaza (Sav-A-Lot) Main St. Big Lots ..............

PANTHERS Continued from 1B walks in the second game gave Indian River more than enough help. "We're to the point where we can't afford to make mistakes and we made several in the sec- ond game and it cost us," Falla said. Indian River (12-6) scored three runs two of them unearned off Congdon before Morrow came back onto the field with no outs in the sec- ond. After Morrow walked two and balked in a run, Indian River got a three-run double from Kelsey Zorc to take a commanding 6-0 lead. Morrow got back in control after that, although Indian River got three unearned runs in the top of the sixth, and Falla said the freshman right-han- der will need time to adjust to her increased work load. "Christina's got to get used to throwing a seven-inning game and then coming back in two or three innings and being ready to throw again and that's going to take a little time to develop. We don't have a choice. We're going to play with the people we've got, and have fun doing it." TOUGH Continued from 1B 145-pounder Blake Germaine (41-1), a state runner-up from last season who was the top- ranked wrestler in his class at 152 pounds all season before dropping down a weight class for the postseason. "Blake would be our only guy who's favored to be region- al champion," Cunningham said. "He'll be pushed. There's a couple of decent kids in his weight class.

Rachel Hunt, Cat Coconato and Lamar had RBI singles in the inning, but it,was Sebring's coming unglued defensively that buried the Streaks. Statler scattered six hits and didn't give up an earned run over the six innings, also striking out two and walk- For her part, Morrow believes she's ready for the challenge. "I hope so," she said. "All I can do is do my best and we'll see what happens." Falla is hoping third baseman Cassandra Green can return from a thumb injury soon, which would free up Leslie Brewer to try her hand at pitching. "We're going to continue to work with the rest of them," Falla said. "Ashley, from what we saw the first day, had the best location and control so we went with her." Megan Medley, who worked three hitless innings to close out the opener, threw a two-hit- ter for Indian River in the nightcap, giving up a first-inning single to Congdon and then retiring 13 straight before Morrow doubled to right to lead off the bottom of the sixth. Falla said the Panthers helped Medley out by continually trying to pull outside pitches, hitting just two balls to the right side of the defense in the second game. "She wasn't throwing anything different than she did in the back half of the first game and we got a little over-aggressive." would be a real big upset." ,,For example, Sebring 103- pounder Patrick -Fox has Riverdale's Scotti Sentes, the state runner-up last season, in his weight class, and Ronnie Sliwicki will have to contend with having last year-'s 112- pound state champ, Keith Evans of Riverdale, in his 119- pound bracket. Brad Hicks (112 pounds), Shannon Spiegel (125), Brian McCreary (135), Bo Inabnett (140), Dillon McGovern (160) and Clifton Cox (171) will all face challenges on their road ing three. Southpaw starter Hunt gave up just two hits and struck out five over the first five innings before giving way to right- handed reliever Lamar.

SECTION C + FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2005 Pauline Au yang Domestic violence can affect anyone Domestic violence infil- trates the rich, poor, the good, bad and ugly, the polit- ically correct and politically incorrect, the religious and the worldly. This plagued affects every imaginable relationship. U.S. Department of Justice reports one-third of women mur- dered in this country between 1992-1999, were killed by husbands, ex-husbands or boyfriends. Here are a few examples of prominent marriages that went violently sour resulting into monstrous scandal: The Rev Glen Summerford, Holiness Church preacher, is currently serving 99 years in prison for trying to murder his wife, Darlene, by forcing her hand into a basket of dangerous rattlesnakes. The 1992 Texas case was dubbed the "Serpent and the Spirit." A number of books have been written about this case. Rabbi Fred Neulander, prominent religious leader of the largest synagogue in New Jersey, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife of 28 years. Leonard Jenoff and Paul Daniels con- fessed to the murder, while stating that they were hired by the rabbi to do the ghastly deed. The two also were sen- tenced to 23-years in prison. In 1997, millionaire Allen Blackhorne received a 45-year sentence for the mur- der of his ex-wife, Sheila, 35. Her body, which had several gunshot wounds and a slit throat, was discovered by the couple's 13-year-old daugh- ter while their 2-year-old quadruplets crawled in her blood, unaware of what had happened. Millionaire Dr. Richard Sharpe, a prominent derma- tologist from Boston, con- fessed to killing his wife, Karen, and plead insanity. It was revealed that Richard Sharpe who murdered his wife, July 14, 2000, was a crossdresser who took hor- mones to develop breast and even stole his wife's birth control pills to supplement himself. Former Sheriff Lieutenant Roy Kipp, of Florida, received a life sen- tence for murdering his estranged, wife, Sandra, May 20, 2000. It was revealed in court that on that fateful day, he broke into Sandra's apart- ment and shot and killed her. In 1996, as Louanne Scaggs sat playing her baby grand piano, her husband, Roger, a beloved church leader, smashed her to death with a metal pipe. The dead woman also was a prominent leader at the First Evangelical Free Church of Austin. Roger Scaggs was having an affair, but appeared to have a wonderful and loving marriage. He is serving life in prison. High profile Tacoma, Wash. Police Chief Davis Brame killed his wife and then himself, on April 26, 2003. The daughter of former State Senator Jim Lander was beaten to death in her car, June 12, 1994.

"God kept telling me to 'Feed my sheep,' and that's what we've been doing." THELMA BECKER, founder of Manna Ministries Photos by KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sun Harold Johnson and Jennifer Colbert (right) receive assistance from Thelma Becker with Manna Ministries in Lake Placid. Manna Ministries just keeps giving By ELAINE SEDLOCK News-Sun correspondent LAKE PLACID ," hen Thelma Becker, of Lake SPlacid, felt called upon by God to / launch Manna Ministries 10 years ago, she had no idea how much it would grow over the years or how many people's lives would be helped through the outreach. "I got the vision to do this in 1994," Becker said. "God kept telling me to 'Feed my sheep,' and that's what we've been doing." Manna Ministries is an ecumenical outreach that has helped countless people in myriad ways and con- tinues to do so. "Basically, we are the clearinghouse for all of the needs in the community," Becker explained. But the effectiveness of the ministry wouldn't be possible without the 40 volunteers coming in once a week, working three to four hours each. There are 10 men who come in (two per shift) and do heavy work and pack bags of food and 30 women who do the other work, such as signing people in at the desk and mak- ing a file for them; getting food ready, and adding meat, bread, or miscellaneous items; bagging clothes; and folding and hanging clothes for display. When people come to Manna Ministries for help they are often surprised by what all they can get. Becker said that if needed they are allowed 40-50 pounds of food per family, as well as blankets, towels, kitchen items, and 20 or more articles of clothing depending upon the need. It is the policy of Manna Ministries to never turn anyone away regardless of race, creed, or color. "We try to get an ID of some kind if we can, but we don't turn anyone down." People come steadily through its doors every day during the open hours, 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. "The person who comes for the first time is amazed because they can't believe we give so much and don't ask for anything in return." Becker stated. "But God supplies all our needs. The word says, 'Give and it shall be given unto you.' " As Manna Ministries has given, it truly has received as well. In addition to the house, there are three sheds for storage which are full most of the time. Becker regrets that sometimes they have to turn things down, but said, "The house is small; but we get a lot done here with such great help. We always have a dream that we might find a bigger facility. We know it is such a good ministry that if we had a little more room we could do even more than we are now." The assistance Manna Ministries offers is not only that of providing food, clothing, and other essentials, but it also does a lot of counseling, advising, and offering referrals. Additionally, Becker stated, "We also pray with people and help people with electric and sometimes rent." During and following the hurricanes this past sea- son, Becker said that there were a lot of people who needed help with their rent. "We paid over $3,000 in rent. People would ask us for help and we would tell them we'd pay a certain amount of it if they could come up with the rest; and they usually could." Becker, who has lived here for 25 years, knows a lot of people she can call on to get help for someone in need. "Right now," she said, "we have someone helping a person get their car back in working order; and recent- ly I called on a lady to send over to a young mother's home to see what she needed. She had rags in one window and boards on another because of hurricane damage and had two children and no heat; but we were able to get her windows replaced." One thing that Becker really tries to do is encour- age men to get out and work for a living. "I'm always. after the young men who come in here to go to work. We help them two or three times; but then I tell them they have to work," she explained. She told of one man in particular who touched her heart. "I have one little guy who came up behind me one day and put his arms around me and said, 'Miss Thelma, you're gonna be so happy. I now have a job, thanks to you.' Becker said that he still comes in from time to time and says, "I'm still working. I don't need your help," and that he feels good about himself because he's come a long way. In addition to the regular day. to day busyness of helping people, each year at Christmas time Manna Ministries holds a toy drive Becker refers to as "toys galore," and every summer they have a school supply drive to raise supplies for needy students for all four schools in Lake Placid, from elementary to high school. This past Christmas Becker said they "really had a generous out-pouring of donations." All donations, whether monetary or otherwise, are given away to people in need. - At Manna Ministries, Becker said, "We try to live Art, Becky Fitzgerald, of Lake Placid, has volunteered at Manna Ministries in Lake Placid for more than year. She said, 'I find it interesting to work with disadvan- taged people and have been surprised to learn that there is such great need in our community.' by what the word says in Matthew 25:40, 'Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

In an era when love in the movies means never having to take the time to learn your partner's name, "Hitch" is a breath of fresh air. In Will Smith's first comic outing since "The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air," love is in the air, and it's shockingly old-fashioned. It puts courtship at the heart of romance, and it has the idea that couples are supposed to find creative ways to attract each other's atten- tion. This has the interesting effect of fan- ning the flames of desire while the daters decide whether they have enough in com- mon to take the next drastic step get mar- ried. "Hitch" amounts to a collection of dynam- ic scenes linked together by a weak plot, and Will Smith is the strongest character in an ensemble cast rather than the star. But "Hitch" has electric moments, when charac- ters connect over witty dialogue and the awk- ward but charming blunders dating seems to bring. Smith's Alex Hitchens is a dating doctor who coaches men in the art of wooing women. He teaches men how to dress and present themselves, and he gives them advise such as: When a woman talks they should do things like, oh, listen to her, and then keep up their end of the conversation instead of staring at certain attractive body parts. And he is flatly uninterested in facili- tating one-night stands for men who view women as late-night snacks. He may even 'HITCH' Director: Andy Tennant Writer: Kevin Bisch Cast: Will Smith (Hitch), Eva Mendes (Sara), Kevin James (Albert), Amber Valletta (Allegra), Julie Ann Emery (Casey) and Michael Rappaport (Ben) Released by: Columbia Pictures (2005) Running time: 1 hour, 55 minutes Rated: PG-13 for language and some strong sexual references Now Playing: Carmike Cinema 6 in Lakeshore Mall, Sebring; 471-1179 stage acts of chivalry or heroism that will make the guy get noticed by the girl he wants. In a cute scene that sets up the story, an average-looking actor has a beating heart for the diva of their play. So when Hitch con- spires to lure away her dog, where does the lady find him? In the arms of the actor she overlooked who appears to have risked life and limb to rescue her beloved pooch from traffic. A window of opportunity opens, and love blooms. Soon Hitch is met with two challenges of his own. A chubby junior accountant Albert Brenniman (Kevin James of "The King of Queens") wants to win the heart of a beauti- ful and wealthy heiress, Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta), who is impossibly out of his league. And then Hitch falls for a woman of his own, Sara Melas (Eva Mendes), a prickly gossip reporter who has given up on men. The Albert-Allegra courtship becomes essential to the movie, particularly since it winningly plays against stereotypes. Albert becomes an Everyman the nice guy who doesn't look like Brad Pitt but who may be worth his weight in gold. At the same time, the blonde, willowy and fashionable Allegra proves that she is not a snobbish ice goddess but a sweet, down-to-earth and insecure woman who is capable of responding to the finer qualities in a man. While everything appears to be going right for Albert and Allegra, everything is going wrong for Hitch. The smooth operator may know all the right moves, but when he tries to practice them they go all wrong. The characters start off being familiar stereotypes, but thanks to the cast they evolve into likable people. As Hitch, Smith is a more sophisticated version of his street- cool but goofy Fresh Prince, and yet as a big movie star he doesn't try to overwhelm every scene with his presence. Mendes, a hard-working actress who seems to be in three or four movies a year, may find "Hitch" to be her breakout role. The second-tier players, James and Valletta, generate sparks in their own right. "Hitch" has its down time sometimes, it's like riding a train that slows down between connections. Overall, though, this gentle, feel-good has its head and its heart in the right place. GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE AT www~ca e.com 901 .S-0 iU7.

Admission is free, but an offer- ing will be taken to benefit the chorus. Parable illustrates God's grace and generosity In the the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vine- yard. A vineyard owner went out at various times of the day and hires laborers to work his vineyard. To the first hired he agreed to pay them a denar- ius for the day's work. This was the normal pay for a day's labor. To each of the others that he hired at vari- ous times during the A MOMENT WITH GOD Rev. Richard Fyffe day, he promised to pay them what was right, including those hired to work only an hour. When it came time to pay, the landowner paid each worker the same: One denarius. Those hired at the beginning of the day complained that they had worked harder than the rest and deserved more pay even though they had received their agreed- upon wage. It is not at all strange that the laborers in the parable were astonished by their wages. Yet there was no reason for anyone to challenge the landowner's right to pay what he wished. His vineyard was his own, as was the money with which he paid his workers. "Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?" (Matthew 20:15) Jesus began this parable with the statement, "For the kingdom of heaven is like the landowner." He is comparing the landowner to God and we see God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours as the heavens are higher than the earth. We simply cannot comprehend them all. So man is quick to question God's ways when afflictions come. "It just isn't fair," he cries. On the other hand, he may challenge God's right to show mercy to someone who in his opinion deserves punishment. Perhaps it is some- one who after a life of open sin has suddenly fled to the arms of the Savior; or it may be the weak Christian who is forever stumbling and returning for Christ's forgiveness; or it may even be someone whose man- ner, speech and dress do not seem in harmony with the social climate of the congrega- tion. But we are also sinners. Are we in a position to question God's grace? We always ought to remember that it is that same grace on which our salvation depends. We can demand jus- tice of God and be very sure we will get it. But, before we do, let us remember what we really deserve because of our sins, and what his exacting justice would have in store for us. The wages of sin is death. But thanks be to God that he has taught us to confess with the Apostle, "By the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10), to say with Jacob, "I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant" (Genesis 32:10). Question God's grace? Where, then, is the spirit of Christ, who ate with publicans and sinners? Where is the spirit of those who rejoiced over the one lost sheep that was found? Surely God's grace is never to be questioned, but ever to be glorified, by our lips and by our way of life. May we never com- plain that those who come late receive the same grace from the hand of God that we received, but let us rejoice that they have come to know the free and full forgiveness offered by faith in Jesus Christ!
