That's what Commissioner Bob Builard of Lake Placid said Tuesday when county commission reviewed the long-range transportation plan priorities, expected to cost $195 million. According to representatives from the Florida Department of Transportation and Tom Ross with CH2M Hill consulting firm out of Orlando, no one with the Lake Placid Town Council specifically asked for widening on U.S. 27 to head south of Landings Road, but Bullard said it should be a pri- ority. "Whether (Lake Placid) did it or not, you need to six-lane U.S. 27 all the way to State Road 70," Bullard said. In addition, he wants Daffodil Street extended south as part of the priority map to connect Placid Lakes to Leisure Lakes. Highlands County Sheriff Susan Benton had asked for the extension to make emergency calls quick- er between: the two communi- ties. Richard Oujevolk, plan- ning analysis dildmini ttr.i.1, with FDOT, said that alone would add about $14 million for engineering, right of way purchases, installing four miles of two-lane road and upgrading the entire road to an arterial road. "That's a sight more than hiring another deputy," said Commissioner Guy Maxcy. Still, commissioners agreed it was necessary. Outside of priorities, Bullard asked to have West Interlake Boulevard added as a three-lane road, all the way to Lake June. However, lie asked that a Sylvan Shores connection road not be done. Along. those lines, Commissioner Barbara Stewart asked FDOT to use care when designing road extensions or widening into established neighborhoods. Oujevolk said FDOT is work- ing with "context sensitive design" to help incorporate arterial roads into or near residential areas with- out disrupt- ing the char- acter of the community. BULLARD Maxcy said that's a major concern, especially since a proposal to extend Lakewood Road north to6 Howey Road, and extend Howey Road west past Heron Road could bring traffic off U.S. 27 and through the neighborhoods.. Oujevolk told commission- co, inild i. ,1 u i,% d proposal to c\tend County Road 635, and even a limited access ,bypass through Hardee County, would be needed in 10-20 years when U.S. 27 See LANES, page 7A KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sun Avon Park High School Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps Cadet Colonel Dwayne Quick (left) passes a flag to Colonel William E.

Sharp to head up United Way By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING Cheryl Sharp with the Highlands County School District has been tapped as the new Highlands County dii sector for the United Way of C ,a. Florida. "- Teri Worthingtoh, president of United \Wa) of Central Florida, said outgoing director Susie Bishop will work with Sharp to orient.her to all of the agency's programs. After that, however, she will bring a lot to the position. When asked about areas of service that she would want to improve for the United Way, Sharp said it's too early to tell and wants to know more about local SHARP programs first. "Susie Bishop has done an excellent job," Sharp said. "I'd like to get my feet wet (first), and empower the board (of directors)." Since the board makes deci- sions on what programs get emphasized, she would like to give the board leeway to set pri- orities. For now, ,she said her job is "to help them help the community." The real business of the United Way in Highlands County is to address and elimi- nate needs, whatever and wher- ever they may be, she said. A See SHARP, page 7A Cracker Trail riders to arrive here today CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun Martha Lewis (left) and Ilene Eshelman, both resource teachers, are pumped up for Operation FCAT Excellence at Sebring High School this week and next. Bugles sound at Sebring High By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Bugles sound reveille, and teachers don cam- ouflage to become drill instruc- tors as Sebring High School launches into Operation FCAT Excellence in the two weeks before the Florida Comprehen- sive Assessment Test. With a jaunty military march in their step, the school's first period teachers are giving up 20 minutes of class time, this week and next, so students can have special lessons designed to help them on the reading and math portions of the FCAT. Operation FCAT is the brain child of Martha Lewis, literacy curriculum resource teacher at Sebring High School, and Ilene Eshelman, its curriculum resource teacher, and was brought to life with the help of 60 of the school's faculty and support staff. * Guidance counselors are monitoring classrooms,- science and French teachers are teach- ing reading and math, computer technicians and assistant princi- pals are taking part, and even district administrators are involved Dr. Anne Lindsay, director of curriculum, and JoAnna Cochlin, coordinator of secondary programs, are team teaching a reading lesson on words and phrases. "That's the exciting part," Eshelman said, her face creased in a gigantic smile. "It's work- ing!" See BUGLES, page 7A By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING The Florida Cracker Trail riders will be marking the halfway point this morning as they make their annual crossing of U.S. 27 as they come off State Road 66 and move down U.S. 98. The yearly processional marks the halfway trip of the route which stretches from Bradenton across the state. "We had 106 the first day. We have about 95 riders with us right now," said Trail Boss Kevin Webb as he rode toward their Tuesday evening encampment. The group camped Tuesday night at My Ole Ranch just inside the Hardee County line. The trek is a re-creation of the ride back that Florida cowmen once took after driv- ing their cracker cattle to mar- ket on the state's Gulf Coast. The caravan of horses and wagons is slated to make its way into Highlands County this morning, crossing U.S. 27 at the intersection of State Road 66 and U.S. 98 during the morning hours. "It. should be. somewhere around 11 a.m. or so," said Webb. The riders will make sever- al stops on their way through Highlands County. They first will visit Cracker Trail Elementar\, School in Sebring. "That's were we'll take our morning water break," Webb said. He estimated that would occur about 10 a.m. The riders first stopped there in 1992, shortly after the school initially opened its doors. From there the group con- tinues east to the crossing of U.S. 27. That marks the halfway point in the ride, which spans six counties. The ride across the mid-point gen- erally is done with great fan- fdre. Many of the riders carry American flags as they mark the occasion. The riders then proceed to the Rockin' Cross Ranch on U.S. 98 where they stop for lunch and to rest and water the horses. They'll then head out for their final stop of the evening the Ashton Ranch. They will set up camp at the Lorida Ranch and stay there Wednesday night. "We're going to be doing a lot of festivities in the arena next door to where we'll be camping. There will be a lot of games, flag relays and even some barrel racing," he said. "That's open to the public. We're hoping they'll come on out."

By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun VENUS A wreck Saturday night on a dirt road took the life of a 2-year-old girl who, according to Florida Highway Patrol, was not buck- led up. In fact, neither the driver, Scherry Annette McClelland, 42, of Venus, nor two other children, ages 6 and 4, were restrained in a Jeep Cherokee that rolled over. Arrest reports state that when an FHP investi- gator arrived at the scene of the wreck and spoke with McClelland, her speech was mumbled and her breath allegedly smelled of alcohol. FHP charged McClelland with driving under the influ- ence of alcohol or drugs, DUI manslaughter and driving with a license suspended, with knowledge. She was booked into the Highlands County Jail with bail set on Sunday at $150,000 blanket bond. Arrest reports also stated that field sobriety tests weren't pos- sible because of McClelland's injuries, but a blood test was done, as well as a breath test after she had been treated at Highlands Regional Medical Center." Five hours after the wreck, according to reports, her breath showed a blood alcohol level of 0.112. The legal limit is .08. At 7:45 p.m. Saturday, McClelland was driving a 1993 Jeep Cherokee eastbound on Ellie Lane, "in an erratic man- ner," according to FHP analysis of her tire tracks in the dirt road. About seven miles west of Venus, she lost control. The Jeep traveled onto the north shoulder, spun counter-clock- wise and overturned into a canal, landing on its top. Two-year-old Amy L. Harris, seated in the right front passen- ger seat, died from her injuries. Katelin Fiedler, 6, and Courtney Harris, 4, in the back seat, were transported to Florida Hospital Lake Placid, according to FHP. Born Aug. 19, 2002, Amy Harris was the daughter of Paul Harris and Jennifer Fiedler. She was in temporary care of Joseph *"Joey" McClelland and Scherry A. Patterson McClelland. Amy Fiedler is survived by sisters, Katelyn Fiedler and Courtney Harris of Venus, Katrina Sockalosky of Wauchula, Dustie McClelland of Zolfo Springs, and Betty Aldridge of Johnson City, Tenn.; brothers, Cash McClelland of Sebring, and Zac Aldridge and Lee Carver, also of Johnson City. She was also survived by her grandfather David Patterson of Winter Haven, grandparents Joe and Pam McClelland of Lorida, and great-grandmother Ethel Ledford of Sebring. A funeral service is from 5-7 p.m. today at Dowden Funeral Home at 2605 Bayview St. in Sebring. Graveside- services will be 2 p.m. Thursday in Basinger Cemetery in Basinger. The Rev. Robert Marcus of Lorida First Baptist Church will conduct the service. Softball complex will have to scale back By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING Not everyone who wanted something at the new softball complex will get it. At. least not right away. After looking over the plans for a softball complex, and get- ting an estimate of $4.7 million for the whole plan, members of the ,Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee decided they need to scale back the plan, to $2.5 million. Plans presented last week by Chastain-Skillman Inc. had the proposed five-field adult soft- ball complex, two soccer fields, a football field with lights, and another grass football field without lights for, practice. Other facilities include conces- sion stands and restrooms for softball fields and the soccer and football fields, two play- grounds, eight batting cages, parking and retention ponds. Batting cages were a "big ticket item," Pontius said, at $33,000 each. "We need to put in fewer or write a grant for it." The county might be able to have some of these facilities, Pontius said, if each one is phased in over time. Building The Blackman Property is 52.17 acres of orange grove North of Sebring High School along Highlands Avenue. The county commission has approved buying the site for no more than $800,000. Developing it will cost much more. To buy and develop the land would cost $2.97 million. The county has funds in the recre- ation budget to buy it, which would leave $2.17 million to finance development. County recreation gets $500,000 per year from the one-cent sales tax, which is expected to last for another 15 years. At that rate,, Pontius said RPAC members would prefer to keep construction costs at or below $300,000 per year. When RPAC members asked if there were any other funds they could use to help build the ateway facility under way to protect the operation in case: of a hurricane and is rife with back-up systems. "There's a fully integrated UPS system to maintaining power for the building and the antennas with a gaseous fire suppression system called an 'FM200, which will put out the fire but not injure the computers or other electronics," he said. Marty Neilsen, Globalstar's director of new business ven- tures, has been on site to moni- tor the progress. "We have 24 gateway opera- tions worldwide but they are independently owned and oper- ated. This is the first venture doing'the facility ourselves," he said. The 6,000-square-foot switching facility is designed to provide enhanced satellite telephony throughout the Caribbean with particular emphasis on the maritime and cruise ship industry. "This will redefine the cover- age, some of it now is out of Texas and some of it is handled through Canada," he said. "This will fill in the spots and give us robust coverage throughout the region." When they first discussed the .. .. ..- ; . new facility, company officials said it would create four or five new well paying, hi-tech jobs. Globalstar bills itself as the world's most widely used hand- held satellite phone service with both voice and data sys- tems. It provides service to individuals, businesses and communities. Established in 1991, the firm began commercial service in late 1999. Their service extends across 100 countries as well as most territorial waters as well as some mid-ocean regions. Moving voice or data around the world involves a process using a number of different facilities much like the one that is going in at the Sebring Regional Airport. Signals from a Globalstar phone or modem are received. by the company's constellation of 48 Low Earth Orbiting satel- lites and then relayed to ground based gateways. They, in turn, then pass the call on to the ter- restrial telephone network. Globalstar officials report they subsequently are able to provide a variety of telephone services to users who live, work or travel in areas far beyond the reach Of cellular networks. park, some mentioned the two- percent tourist tax, on the prem- ise that softball tournaments might put "heads in beds" - bring people into the county for overnight stays. Earthwork "There are some major earth- works (needed) on this site," Pontius said. Being an old grove, the prop- erty has astatula sand, which is great for growing oranges, but will trap car wheels if not stabi- lized, Pontius said. Building the parking area alone may cost $510,000, depending on whether the county uses topsoil or mines some ol its own marl and shell to build up the .ground. Maintenance Annual maintenance costs could be $164,965 for just the softball fields and parking area, with $138,000 coming in as revenue from league fees, light tokens, concession contracts, batting cages, advertising signs and tournaments. The county might only pay $26,965 per year in operating costs, but without tournaments, the fields would lose a large part of the operating revenue. RPAC will have another meeting at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3, to pare down the plans. Is thereJ ured in your garage2? FIND OUT WITH A NEWS-SUN CLASSIFIED AD (They get results!)

Student Councils from near-by counties meeting at LPHS By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun LAKE PLACID - Excitement is building at Lake Placid High School, which is getting ready to host the annual District V Florida Association of Student Councils' Leadership Conference. District V includes counties in south and central Florida, including Brevard, Martin and Palm Beach counties. Normally a three-day event, this year will be restricted to Saturday, a direct result of the time lost to the hurricane sea- son, because students cannot afford to lose another day of school. A motivational speaker, workshops, competitions and just plain fun are planned for a day that will start at 8:45 a.m. and run until 7 p.m. Individual students will be competing in a speech writing contest, a parliamentary proce- dure contest, wacky Olympics and a talent show. Schools will compete in a contest where each student council will enter five projects done in the course of the year. For example, Lake Placid's student council held a Veteran's Day Assembly; had a barbecue for teachers to show apprecia- tion; devised a Magic Note pro- gramin where encouraging mes- sages are written to help student morale; helped Amy Moretz, a teacher at Lake Country who also teaches privately, put on a dance recital; and devised lunch time games, held in the school commons, to involve the stu- dent body. School board members Donna Howerton, the Rev. Richard Norris and Wendy Renfro will be among the 'judges, as will News-Sun Night/Weekend Editor Cindy Marshall. Caitlin Munro, a junior, is treasurer for District V and is a member of the planning com- mittee. "We really appreciate all the support local businesses have given us," she said, "They made this day possible." Munro also had words of praise for the high school's principal, Dr. Ruth Hecknian. "She's very receptive to our ideas .ijtd. the things we bring up to her. We meet with her reg- ularly, but her door is always open." Lake Placid's student council is made up of 80 members.

Police report I Highlands County report Second man charged in car assault case SEBRING A second man has been charged as the accomplice in an assault case. On Feb. 15, Johnathan Lee Ratliff, 19, of Sebring was charged under warrants for burglary with assault and two counts of misdemeanor bat- tery. No bail was set on the burglary with assault charge. At 6 p.m., Friday, Jan. 28, a 16-year-. old was pulled out of the driver's door of her car at a U.S. RATLIFF 27 address and attacked. Ratliff allegedly punched her 20-year-old front seat pas- senger, shoved him out of the car onto the ground and punched him again while Eric Thomas James, 18, of Sebring, allegedly kicked him. James was arrested and charged on Feb. 14. The front seat passenger gave the same statement. A 17-year-old witness sitting next to the' passenger got hit in the head by some of the punches. James pulled her out of the car and she allegedly, walked away. Earlier that day, at 2 p.m., Ratliff allegedly went to 3440 U.S. 27 South in Sebring and confronted another man about his sister getting fired.

Cocaine deal caught by police officer SEBRING At 10:42 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15, a police officer parked in a dark park- ing lot just off Eucalyptus Street and Lemon Street saw two men walking on Lemon Street. One of them, later identified as Allen David McBride, 40, of 'Sebring, allegedly walked up to another man standing at Railroad Avenue, reach into his pocket, and place his hand in the other man's hand. McBride then turned away and walked down Lemon Street toward Eucalyptus Street. He took his hat off, placed his Sand in the brim of the hat and then McBRIDE placed it back on his head. Believing McBride had just bought cocaine, the Sebring police officer approached him in his patrol car, got out and asked him to approach the car. The other two men left the area as soon as they saw the officer. The officer asked McBride if he had anything on him, and he said no. When asked for identification, McBride said he lost it, but said he was from Two residential wrecks leave only minor injuries with five victims By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING This weekend on residential streets near Sebring, six people, including a toddler on a bicycle, escaped two traffic wrecks with only minor ones.

We at the News-Sun apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. on no bond. Allegedly, at 7:46 p.m. Feb. 17, 2005, Highlands County sheriff's deputies found him 352 feet away from the vic- tim's residence. He had parked his black GMC pickup in front of a house under construction on Shad Drive, then walked to the rear of the house so he could watch the 41-year-old victim's home. Allegedly, he had harassed of violated injunctions against the victim in nine other cases. One of those was on Feb. 5,, 2005, when the victim woke up to find Starks standing out- side her bedroom door. She asked what he was doing and he said he wanted to see her. She told him to leave and he did. Both her front and back doors were unlocked. She couldn't say which way he went, but noted the smell of alcohol, complaint affi- davits said. Some time elapsed before she called law enforce- SEBI 863/38 ment. She also did not hear a vehicle start up, and didn't see his car in the area. Before that, she had prob- lems with Starks in August 2002, and had been talking with him lately. It was after that incident that she obtained an injunction against Starks, which he then violated on Feb. 9 by visiting her house and calling her twice on the phone after 11:30 p.m. During a non-custodial interview, Starks told deputies he stopped at the Shad Drive house on Feb. 17 just to use the "port-a-john." However, the facility is within 500 feet of the victim's house. His shoe impressions were found near the Port-O-Let. Apparently, he had driven past his brother's house to use a Port-O-Let at the construction site near the victim's house.

February 23, 2005 In light of Schiavo case, living wills need to be more specific HRMC seminar to help people make decisions By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING On Friday, Terri Schiavo will have been in a "persistent vegetative state" for 15 years. On Tuesday, a Florida appeals court cleared the way for her husband to remove the feeding tube that has been keep- ing her alive. This latest court action was blocked by another judge at least until today. Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, sought an emergency stay from a Pinellas County judge in hopes of keep- ing their daughter alive long enough for them to file addi- tional legal pleadings in the case. In 1990, a potassium imbal- ance caused Schiavo to have a heart attack. Her heart was resuscitated, but spinal fluid collected in her cerebral cortex and she has not regained con- sciousness. The long battle between Schiavo's parents and husband has reached both the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts, which have each ruled "Terri's Law" the Florida law that enforces her treatment - unconstitutional. Dr. Kenneth W. Goodman. director of the bioethics pro- gram at the University of Miami, expects the fight will continue. That's why he and Highlands Regional Medical Center held a public seminar last week, along with two other seminars for hospital doctors and staff. Documents Goodman said living wills and "do not resuscitate" orders - general statements asking medical personnel not to pro- long life unnaturally once allowed emergency personnel and doctors to simply withhold treatment or withdraw treat- ment that had started. Those documents will need to be more specific now. Goodman's expertise is ethics having to make diffi- cult decisions when nothing has been done wrong. For each per- son, these questions are influ- enced by personal beliefs. Goodman's own loved ones have told him, "I don't want to die like that," pointing to termi- nally ill patients connected to wires and tubes. "This cloud has a silver lin- ing," Goodman said. "People are talking to loved ones about their advanced care in a way they never did before." Comfort Many people want to make dying as comfortable as possi- ble, with pain management rather than continued treatment that makes them feel sick and uncomfortable. If they tell a surrogate everything they want, that surrogate can do their will if they can't. Johnsie McAlister, site direc- tor for Good Shepherd Hospice, said sometimes terminally ill minors have asked not to be treated and that puts her staff in the middle. Goodman said that's one rea- son the hospice movement is on the rise: People choosing com- fort over treatment. Some .treat- ments were never meant to pro- long life indefinitely. "Medicine can't bring back the dead," Goodman said. "It can prolong life at a very dear cost." Some information came from the Associated Press.

Recently, an absentee owner found his land had been sold, only he didn't sell it. A clerk at the property appraiser's office found a mis- take on a warranty deed for property in the Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Improvement District. It said Lot 2, but the seller owned Lot 20. She contacted the seller Norman L. Lutwak of Lauderhill to correct the mistake. Rotary nears By ROMONA WASHINGTON Executive Editor SEBRING It has been an. impressive observation that Dan Andrews has been making since mid-January when the Rotary Club of Sebring initiat- ed the fund-raising drive to raise money for Shelter Boxes for the Southeast Asia tsunami victims. "It is amazing how strong this community is. We were hit by three hurricanes last summer and the residents here still find ways to give. It's amazing how they are supporting efforts like this," the club president said. So far, the Rotary Club has collected about $16,000 - enough to have 17 Shelter Boxes shipped to the tsunami victims in just five weeks. "Our original goal was to buy 10 but we exceeded that. LANES Continued from 1A becomes too congested to work as a commercial state highway. C.R. 621 in works On Tuesday, commissioners approved a $75,000 contract with Chstain'-Skillman Inc. to BUGLES Continued from 1A Operation FCAT began when Eshelman and Lewis met with their counterparts at Avon Park and Lake Placid high schools to develop special preparation classes for the 11th- and 12th- graders who would have to take the FCAT. As they were leaving the meeting, the duo wondered why all students couldn't get the benefit of the specialized kind of instruction they had just planned for a few. They decided on the spot to see what they could do. Their idea was to focus on a particular part of the test, or type of question, and create short lessons to help students increase their comprehension of the material to be presented, and sharpen their approach to test taking. Each teacher teach- es only one lesson, but over the course of two weeks, teaches every class. For example, Debbie Wood, assistant principal,, is teaching research and reference, while biology teacher Angie Mann is teaching cause and effect. While academic work is the main emphasis, Eshelman and Lewis added a special touch. They didn't want want to just moti- vate students, they wanted to He hadn't sold that lot. As it turns out, clerks had warranty deeds stating Lutwak sold other lots in Sun 'N Lake that he hadn't sold. To Property Appraiser Raymond McIntyre, it appeared one of two things happened: It was either a simple mistake or someone tried to obtain property with false war- ranty deeds. The warratity deeds were all dated July 1, 2004, and record- ed on Feb. 1. They were pre- pared and purchased by George C. Davis out of Fort Lauderdale and had signatures of Lutwak and his wife. Mick Grosh, director of Land Management and Development for Sun 'N Lake, said he got Lutwak to send him a signature for com- parison, and it doesn't match up. Since the mistake first came to light, Lutwak has received notice of Davis transferring his lots back to him as of Feb. 11. Grosh said Sun 'N Lake would never have known about the mistake until after the prop- erty appraiser, sends an annual tax roll report on CD-ROM. Sun 'N Lake uses that report to make assessments. Sheriff's offices in both Broward and Highlands coun- ties are looking into the matter, goal of 20 Shelter Boxes Now our goal is to be able to send 20," he said. He said some people in the community have been generous enough to donate the entire cost of a Shelter Box $900. Every penny that is collected in this drive is being sent direct- ly to benefit the tsunami vic- tims, Andrews stressed. "This tragedy is so huge that we will continue to collect funds and send them to Shelter Box USA for as long as neces- sary," he said, adding he hopes to be able to buy the other three shelter boxes to make the club's goal by the end of February. Shelter Boxes are large green heavy-duty plastic boxes that each contain a 10-by-20-foot, three-room, 10-person tent, 10 sleeping bags, water purifica- tion equipment to support the write a hazard mitigation fund grant proposal for improvement on County Road 621. The county has until April 15 to meet a deadline. Stewart would like to have county staff handle the grant application rather than pay a consultant, but County Engineer Ramon Gavarrete said he doesn't have enough engineers who aren't busy with other projects. pump them up and make them. enthusiastic about the challenge ahead. This is why they chose a military theme, with a "can do" spirit, and why bugles sound over the public address system, and the drill instructors wear camouflage. At first, the women wanted to call the coordinated effort "Boot Camp." But the term boot camp has acquired a nega- tive meaning among young people, because troubled teens are so often sent to boot camps. Instead, Eshelman and Lewis went to. their resident expert, reserve officer training corps instructor Chief Master Sergeant Tealy Williams, for help. He suggested using the same term the military does needs of 10 people for six months, a multi-fuel cook stove, cooking equipment, eat- ing utensils, tools, and assorted other survival items. Residents can make dona- tions to help buy Shelter Boxes through the Sebring Rotary Charities Inc., a group initiated by the club to work toward local needs. Any donations for the tsuna- mi victims must be marked on the checks as for "tsunami relief efforts" or "Shelter Boxes." All donations are tax-deductible. Anyone who would like to help fund a Shelter Box through Sebring Rotary Charities Inc. can do so by sending a check to P.O. Box 527, Sebring, FL 33871. Remember to mark the check for either-"tsunami relief efforts" or "Shelier Boxes." The county may only get $2.5 million to improve the sub-base on 2.8 miles of the road, which was compromised during the hurricanes by flood- ing out of Lake Istokpoga. Gavarrete would like to do 8.4 miles of the road, but with an estimated cost of $1.8 million per mile, the county may have to da thea work in stages over several years. when planning for an action, thus Operation FCAT Excellence was born. "We can't say how grateful we are," Eshelman said. "We have so imposed on people. First period teachers have given up 25 minutes of their class time, teachers are stepping out of their comfort zone and teach- ing subjects they are not famil- iar with, and monitors are giv- ing of their time. Everyone is covering for someone. Everybody's busy. Everybody gave up something. "We're so very grateful. It's been the most exciting part, to see everyone so engaged." Eshelman laughs, "We're already planning for next year."

There were several warranty deeds done by Davis, and some by a man named Aaron Lyons, who allegedly bought a lot from a couple in Port Dover, Canada. That sale was also disputed. Lyons was listed as a witness on several sales made by Davis. Another man with a similar name, Rohan Lyons, was the witness on the property alleged- ly bought from the Lutwaks. Almost every sale had the same notary public. "I've never heard of this," said Lt. John Chess with the Highlands County Sheriff's Office, Criminal Investigations. "It's amazing to me. You work hard and find a piece of proper- ty you want,... and then find -someone else has put a house on it. It boggles the mind." Right now Detective John Barcinas is working the case. As to whether the sales are legitimate or not, Chess said the matter is still under investiga- tion. "We just don't know yet," Chess said.

Santa Rosa Hotel sold By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING The Santa Rosa Hotel again has new own- ers. Realtor Jeff Ludwig would only disclose that it was an Qrlando investment firm that plans to restore the historic property as a hotel. "They're looking for accom- modation properties in. Florida to restore and rehabilitate," Ludwig said. "We were fortu- nate enough to hook them up with the Santa Rosa." The deal is set to close Friday. Current owners Phil and Jean Ropp closed the deal in August 2003 with then-owners Don and Jan Bowden to become just the third owners of the land- mark red brick building in August 2003. They worked on cleaning and painting the historic hotel, bringing along seven daughters ranging from the 20-year-old Rachel to 6-year-old Martha who did everything from paint- ing to taking care of guests. However, not all of their employees were so good. The Ropps reportedly had a sub- stantial amount of money embezzled from them by one of their former workers. That case TRAIL Continued from 1A actually was the idea of local citrus owner Marvin Kahn.

Sharp was born and raised in Highlands County, in the has yet to come to trial. At this point, once the deal is completed, the couple plan to take their family and head back to Michigan. "We're going back home to be near the four kids that decid- ed not to move south and settle in Sebring. They still consider northern Michigan home," Jean Ropp said. As to whether or not the cou- ple would go back into the hotel business she said "probably not." She said the new owners would have a bit of work to do when they took over the land- mark hotel on Ridgewood Drive near the Sebring Parkway. "We lost about a third of the roof in Hurricane Jeanne," she said. That resulted in 10 of the guest rooms being destroyed as well as some of the public areas on the second and third floor of the building. "It was all due to water intru- sion," she said. "Th1e main floor was not as bad." In fact, the historic structure had withstood hurricanes Charley and Frances with only cosmetic damage to the outside of the three-story structure. Crawford.

In 1926, the hotel was pur- chased by Mary McGhee, who owned it until her death in 1986.. "Mack McGhee was sup- posed to run the Nancessowee Hotel at the time," said Jan Bowden, "but I guess they kind of snatched him to run the Santa. Rosa." The hotel quickly became a- favorite of northern residents seeking the Florida sunshine in the winter, also serving as the March home for many of the., race teams coming to compete. at the annual 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race.

News-Sun, Wednesday, February 23, 2005 Students learn about Lake Placid history Special to the News-Sun LAKE PLACID On Feb. 15 and 16, as in past years, the Lake Placid Depot Museum invited the second and fourth grades of the Lake Placid Elementary School and Lake Country. School to tour the museum, where demonstrations of pioneer life in Lake Placid were exemplified. The tour started at the Bank Robbery Mural on the corner of Interlake Boulevard and Main Street. Jean Parrish, whose hus- band, Grady, was the little boy who ran for the town marshal and helped foil the robbery, told each class the story. From there, the students, teachers and chap- erons walked the short distance to the depot, where they were greeted by Museum Coordinator Evelyn Hays. She guided them to the Laundry Days exhibit on the Portico where Sonny Stalls, Historical Society president was hard at work scrubbing clothes on an old washboard. Red, long-han- dled underwear hung from the clothesline. A cast iron kettle hung from a sturdy tripod near- by, where handmade lye soap had been made. Also on the portico, John Moody bent over the old grinding wheel sharpen- ing an axe. It seemed primitive to the children, but it made them realize that it is possible to get work done even without electricity. Once inside the museum, the classes met Nancy Schild, who showed them quilting examples and explained how pioneers put scraps of cloth together to help them keep warm. Leaving this station, the groups then heard Betty Ray Roberts talk about the first settlers in the area. She herself is a descendant of the Lastingers, early day res- idents. In the next room, students came upon Thelma Rhoades, a former school teacher, who let them write their own name with the old dipping pens used before fountain pens or ball- point pens were heard of. Following the tour into Hoy room, they heard Margaret Ford busily sewing pot holders PANTHER NETWORK The Panther Network is made possible by the combined efforts of Comcast Cablevision and South Florida Community College and may be viewed exclusively on Comcast Cable Channel 4.

In appreciation for the Demonstration Days put on by the Historical Society each year, Mullins' class begins collecting coins early in the year and by the time . February, the traditional month for this activity, comes, they have an impressive sum to donate to the museum. This year the amount was more than $50, mostly in pennies. The museum exists largely from donations, having no tax money involved in the financing, therefore, the contribution of this class is espe- cially welcome. on a treadle sewing machine, again using no electricity to get the job done. A new exhibit at the museum is a 1940s Hope Chest, explained by Janet Price. The Lane cedar chest is fitted out with many of the necessary items a young lady would need to start housekeeping those days. Colene Hammonds was wait- ing in the Memorial Room to show the children a number of cooking tricks used by early Lake Placid ladies, including a vintage cook stove with a col- lection of pots and pans from the 1920s. And to go along with the cooking theme, Maxine Kelley was making butter in a small glass butter churn. Dot Bates helped spread the butter on a cracker for each student. Once back outside, the class- es clamored into the caboose to get a look at life as it was for the men working on the railroad. Fletcher Hays pointed out the details of the caboose, includ- ing the built-in table and the high chairs that face either way so the railroad men could watch the tracks as they rolled along. Ronald Rhoades stood by the old town jail, ready to "lock up" any misbehaving youth. The jail is an open-air unit that really was one to two identical units used in the early '20s. To finish the experience, Dot Hogan and Kay Thomas were ready with orange juice and cookies to refresh the young- sters as they prepared to return to their schools. Also on hand to assist were Marie Oxer and Clarice Cannon. At the erid of the two days, every voliTteer agreed that Demonstration Days are as much fun fpr- the workers as for the students.'.

SEBRING, FLO 0I Measure feet before buying shoes The old adage, if the shoe fits, wear it, may be taken too lightly by some Americans according to a recent survey conducted by the American Podiatric Medical Association. When close to 1,000 U.S. adults were asked if they have their feet measured before buying new shoes, 66 percent respond- ed they did not. It's a statistic that raises concern with many podiatrists because it could mean that people are not buying shoes that fit properly. "As we age, our feet can increase in size, especially in width," said APMA podiatrist Dr. Arnold Ravick. "It's impor- tant to have our feet measured before buying shoes because there are so many factors that can impact the size of our feet and the fit of shoes." Foot swelling, pregnancy and the shoe manufacturer are some factors that can impact the way a shoe fits. Your feet tend to swell a little during the day; it's best to buy shoes later in the day when your feet are in this condition. During pregnancy a hormone is released that felaxes ligaments in the body including the feet. It's common for a pregnant woman's feet to grow anywhere from one to two sizes. Lastly, not all shoes are made the same. For example, someone who wears a size eight in one brand of shoe could wear Health News Send any health-related, news to Cindy Marshall at News-Sun, 2227 U.S. 27 South, Sebring, FL 33870; e-mail to cindy. marshall@newssun. corn; or fax it to 385-1954. a size larger or i smaller made by a different shoe manu- facturer. 4 'Remember, a shoe that doesn't fit properly can lead to foot pain," Ravick said. "A shoe that is too narrow can lead to hammertoes, FoOT bunions, corns and calluses. A shoe that Olga Li is too small can cause blisters, ingrown toe nails and even lead to back pain." To help consumers avoid foot problems and to insure a good fit, the APMA recommends 10 simple steps: 1. Shop for shoes later in the day. 2. Have your feet measured while you're standing. 3. Try to select a shoe with a leather upper, stiff heel counter, appropriate cushioning, and flexibility at the ball of the foot. 4. Be sure shoes fit well - PRINTS uepschen period; front, back and sides - to distribute weight. 5, Buy shoes that don't pinch your toes, either at the tips, or across the toe box. 6. Always try on both shoes, and walk around the store. 7. Always buy for the larger foot; feet are seldom precisely the same size. 8. Don't buy shoes that need a "break-in" shoes should be com- fortable immediately. 9. Try on shoes while you're wearing the same type of socks or stockings you expect to wear with the shoes. 10. If you wear prescription orthotics biome ucanical inserts prescribed by a podiatric physician you should take them along to shoe fittings.

College gives you a chance to enhance your skills in many ways. Sports should be just one of the many perspectives you scrutinize when selecting a col- lege. When selecting a college it is important to select the school that best meets your education needs. Does the school offer the academic program that you are looking for? Are you interested in attending a university or a college? Do you prefer a small town setting or a bustling city with lots of energy? Do you want to attend a college or uni- versity within miles of your hometown or a different part of the world? While in high school you A night out on a hog hunt By JENNA PONTIUS Sebring High School Recently I went to a hog hunt with my mom. It was held at The Preserves. When I got back from help- ing Benny Banda unlock the gate that the hunters were going into, my mom was standing there with the group of hunters. Richard Hernandez and Dustin "Cornbread" Green offered to take me with them. We first headed over to gate 6. We rode in Cornbread's truck all the way to the back fence. We then released three of their four dogs. Richard's other dog had been injured the night before, while wrestling with the hog they caught and was in the truck recovering from his battle wounds. I have never been hog hunt- ing, or any kind of hunting for that matter before, so I didn't have any idea what to expect. Once they put the dogs on the ground we got back in the truck and followed them. The dogs listened to their masters very well. Every time one would wander off, all they would have to do is yell for them and they would come back. After about an hour of rid- ing around behind the dogs I asked if they thought we were ever going to find one. Richard said "Yea, but we have to wait until 8:15 because that's what time they start feed- ing because that's what the magazine said and they are usu- ally about 95 percent right." We loaded the dogs back up and left gate 6 and rode down to have what it takes? may have been a dominant player on your team, perhaps a leading scorer, or maybe a multi-sport athlete. While those things and others qualify you, you should remain self-con- scious of your abilities as well as your competitors. The key thing about playing college level sports: It's going to be very different. The com- petition at the college level rais- es the level of intensity, and to participate on college sport teams your level of skills and talent must be exceedingly high. If you plan on playing sports in college, you'll need to com- pare your size with the size of the average player on the col- lege teams) you would like to play for. Determine if you are the right size to play a certain position. Afterwards, contrast the strength, speed, endurance, and coordination of yourself and your fellow teammates. College coaches often consider foot and lateral movement essential. Furthermore, you should estimate your level of mental discipline and self-confidence. Do you have what it takes to perform well under pressure. One way to prove this principle to yourself and college coaches is to do well academically. Good grades impress the coach- es and keep you in the running. If you are interested in attending NCAA Division I, II, or III colleges, you can benefit by becoming familiar with their rules and regulations. Instead of focusing on a college that can lead to a career in the pros, con- sider the following statistics. Out of about one million high- school football players and nearly 550,000 basketball play- ers, only about 250 make it to the NFL, and just 50 make it to an NBA team. Less than three percent of college seniors will play one year in the profession- al basketball league. The odds are against high- school football players who want to "make it pro." In depth, the odds are 6,000 to 1. The odds for a high-school basket- ball player "making it" is about 10,000 to. 1. Even though the statistics are shocking and somewhat degrading, stay attentive to reality and explore your options. There are plenty of careers that offer fun, money, and charisma. Statistics simply imply what has happened. You could be the one who "makes it" if you have what it takes. EDITOR'S NOTE: The follow- ing is a fictional story. By NOELLE JOHNSON Sebring High School What if you had a friend who lived at the school, but you had no clue. You may not know it, but there is a boy at SHS that has lived in every room on school campus. By day he goes to school as a normal boy. But by night he sleeps in any place that is open. His parents moved to Antarctica, and forgot him. He stayed in school, not wanting to ruin his chances of becoming a stunt double. Every time stu- dents dropped food on the floor, or left it unattended; the want- to-be stunt double would flip over chairs to collect any parti- cles of food left behind. Most students think he is normal, but when they ask him where he lives he says every- where. Never does he give an exact location. The weird thing. is he wears the same thing everyday. When students ask him why he replies, "I like them! Plus I wash them everyday." He is speaking literally. When evening roles around he will shower in the girls' locker room with his clothes on. He thinks the boys' locker room smells like rotten fish. Therefore he won't go in there. In order to get his clothes dry he sits under the blow dryer for hours. Once dry, he sneaks into the back door of the lunchroom, to raid the kitchen. He loves the school's pork chops so he fries them up. As the night progresses, he sneaks into an open room to watch his favorite reality show, "The Next Top Model." Now he eventually will find a comfortable place in the school to do 30 minutes of Greek Yoga. He believes that he will become spiritually relaxed. Now when it comes to sleep- ing his favorite place is camp- ing on top of the lunchroom rooftop and falls asleep gazing at the stars. The first bell informs him it's time to wake up. Almost every- day he is late, but none of his teachers care. Do you believe this could happen? Could a boy actually live at this school? Ask him when you see him, he walks among you all, or does he? SHS dance team finishes first By SHANNON GILLILAN Sebring High School Coming back from a defeat is never an easy thing to do. However, the Sebring High School dance team did that and more at their most recent com- petition. The Sebring High School dance team competed at the Florida State Fair in Tampa on Feb. 13. The competition was at' the new, and very large, Ford Amphitheater at the fair- grounds. They were in a catego- ry against three other teams. Sebring had a very strong and enthusiastic performance. The team finished first. For their win, they received a large trophy, $1,400 for the team, and each member got their own gold medal. After that kind of perform- ance, it really shows what hard work can do for a team. They. encountered some problems at a prior competition but were able to persevere and win a championship. The team was kind of down after the last com- petition (finished fifth), but were able to pick up their spir- its and come back with even more. At the State Championships in Jacksonville, Shannon Gillilan, Theo Shannon, Kaila Bateman, Ashley Richardson, Sara Schmidt, and Lisa Taylor were named All-American.. They have the chance to per-, form at next year's NFL Pro- Bowl in Honolulu. The team will compete in its: last competition of the season- on Feb. 25-26 in Boca Raton: with the Florida Dance Team Directors Association.. Hopefully their luck and world< efforts will continue and they will do well in the future. High school is just a popularity contest, and I am not in the running Courtesy photo Dustin 'Cornbread' Green and Richard Hernandez took Sebring High School student Jenna Pontius on a recent hog hunt. gate 2. The gate was locked because you can't get your vehicle through there so we decided to walk instead. This time we brought all four dogs with us. We walked for what seemed like forever in water and mud. Finally, the dogs started barking and it happened to be right around the time Richard said we would start finding them. We ran toward where we heard the dogs barking and we ended up at the back fence, which we were not allowed to pass. We decided to let the hog go because no one was really in the mood to get arrested that night. We called their dogs, and they finally came back. After letting the dogs sniff around for a little while we decided to put the dogs back up and go back to gate 6. After a while of riding around with the dogs on the ground they started barking again. Everyone jumped out of the truck and went to where the dogs were. We figured out the hogs were not too stupid because again it ran over the fence. After that we didn't have much more luck and we went back to the main area to share our stories. We told every- one how we ran two hogs and we soon found out that a group of peo- ple actually caught one, Richard and Cornbread had been out hunting for a while so they decided to call it a night. I sat by the fire and listened to the rest of the hunters' stories as they came in. I want to thank Richard and Cornbread for taking me with them because I know no one wanted the "girl" to slow them down. If you're reading this guys, I had a great time and am ready to go again so give me a call!

If you go out on a date with someone, the entire school will know about it within a week. You will probably not remain friends with your best friend forever from middle school. But, the most important thing I have learned at Sebring High School was not something I read about in books. -I discov- ered that high school is nothing more than a popularity contest.

Sometimes I thought I was- n't good enough t6 be a part of the popularity contest. I began questioning myself and won- dering if I could ever fit in. Luckily for me, I realized that my behavior was childish and uncalled for. I did not write this story to poke fun at the popularity con- test winners. I wanted to get my story out so future high school students will know the truth. In high school, you have a very small amount of people you can consider your friends. Your peers will focus more on gossip than the bigger picture. According to the most popu- lar people in school, if you don't have the looks, then you don't have what it takes to be known as a cool kid. In my mind, you shouldn't sacrifice your personality for people who won't care about you in the end. Now is the time to plan for their future.

Headlining the driver entry list is Patrick Conrad, the defending race winner and series pro champion. Conrad is attempting something that has not been accomplished in the history of the Legends Challenge, that is to become the first repeat champion. One realizes how important it is to win the Rotary Cup when Conrad's resume is known and that he is back this year to become a repeat winner. Conrad is a 17-year-old in the 11th grade at East Ridge High School in Clermont. Even though he is only a teenager his racing career goes back to Oct. 13, 1995, when he entered his first Quarter Midget race in Apopka. "I started the race second from the back, but ended up fin- ishing in second place," he said. "It was truly a great feeling, and that's when I realized I loved racing. In my second race I fin- ished in first place." It was obvious that Conrad had some natural talent, but winning has been a family affair for the Conrads. u-1 OWNS^ It"i ip'*!^St Courtesy photo Patrick Conrad, in the No. 2 car, hopes to defend his title as winner of the Rotary Legends Challenge this weekend, and as series pro champion. The Legends race is Saturday and Sunday at the Avon Park High School football field. His dad, Harold, turns the wrenches while his mother, Paula, keeps the business going. Patrick Conrad continued to race quarter midgets around the United States through 2002, competing in events from Alabama to Pennsylvania. By 2002, when he was only 15 years old, Conrad had 276 wins, 656 top fives and 1,051 top 10 finishes. In 2003 Conrad moved up to Legends Cars. As a "rookie" Conrad became the Desoto Super Speedway Legends Track Champion, the Florida Semi- Pro Champion and finished third in the Lowes Motor Speedway Summer Shoot-Out featuring the best Legends driv- ers in the nation. The 2004 sea- son produced more victories and this time the Pro Championship for Florida Legends. Once again Conrad has moved up, this time to Super Late Model stock cars. Again in his "rookie" year Conrad vis- ited the winner's circle with two wins at. Orlando Speedworld. What are his dreams for the future? Like most young guns he hopes to some day race in NASCAR's Nextel Cup Series. "Obviously, having the opportunity to test my skill against the top drivers in the world would be a dream come true," he said Helping Conrad to get to that level is a friendship he has established with NASCAR vet- eran, Mark Martin. Emergency Conservation Program sign up extended Special to the News-Sun SEBRING Highlands County has been granted an extension for the Emergency Conservation Program, accord- ing to Diane Conway, county executive director for Highlands County Farm Service Agency. Producers may apply for assistance through March 11. USDA Farm Service Agency's Emergency Conservation Program provides emergency funding and techni- cal assistance for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate farm- land damaged by natural disas- ters and for carrying out emer- gency water conservation measures in periods of severe drought. Funding for ECP is appropriated by Congress. There are four emergency conservation practices available to Highlands County producers: Debris removal from farm- land, Restoring permanent fences, Restoring conservation structures, and Grading, shaping; and re- leveling. For more information, visit the Farm Service Agency office in Sebring aj 4507- Geonc- Blvd or call 385-7853, ext. 2, Early in his career, he com- peted in quarter midgets against Matt Martin, Mark's son. While watching his son compete, Martin noticed Conrad's ability and the two have been friends ever since. Because of that relationship, Conrad was given an audition driving a Craftsman Truck belonging to Roush Racing. Even with a full season of Late Model racing scheduled the Rotary Legends' Challenge is one race where Conrad wants to get back into a Legends Car and go for a repeat win. It will not be easy as a line up of more than 30 cars is anticipated including feature winners from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The fifth annual Rotary Legends Challenge will be run at the Avon Park High School Football Stadium on Saturda) and Sunday. Saturday's racing begins at 7 p.m. under the lights and a full slate of races will be presented again on Sunda) beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets for both days are only $10 (chil- dren under 9 are free with an adult) and may be purchased at Bill Jarrett Ford, Wells Dodge Chrysler, Florida Hospital Gift Shop. .i.A all locations of the Heariland National Bank. Herring re-elected as chief judge Special to the News-Sun The Circuit and County Judges of the 10th Judicial Circuit, (Highlands, Hardee and Polk counties) have re-elected Circuit Judge Ronald A. Herring of Lakeland, as the chief judge of the circuit for the two-year term beginning July 1. Upon his re-election, Herring stated, "I want to thank my fel- low judges for their confidence and support in electing me to serve another two-year term as their chief judge. The most pressing issue to face the courts at this time is the need for addi- tional judges. The need for seven additional judges has been certified by the Supreme Court and it is hoped the Florida Legislature will provide the necessary funding. We are also working with the county to obtain additional courthouse space to support the continual growth of court-related func- tions." The chief judge exercises administrative supervision over all courts within the circuit. Among his duties as chief judge, he must implement an administrative plan that will effect the timely disposition of cases, control over court dock- ets and the assignment of judges.

But the chamber's executive board took the time that Fish gave it to interview a list of about 40 applicants, making its final choice recently and a good choice it made. Lifelong Sebring resident Dan Andrews has been tapped as the new executive vice president/chief execu- tive officer of the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce. Andrews takes over officially March 1, just in time for Race Week. In fact, his first event will be the Historic Sports Car Racing weekend March 4, 5 and 6. He helped manage that even for six years, so it's almost like coming home for him. In fact, Andrews believes one of the major reasons he .was selected was his background in the community as well as his ability to "hit the ground running." And in one sense he has already done just that. As the new chamber director and with the county's largest event less than a month away, Andrews does not have time to wait until he officially takes office. He has been spreading goodwill around the county and attending a number of functions even before his March 1 start date. In addition to the HSR races, the chamber will be stag- ing the Grand Prix Ball in cooperation with the Sebring International Raceway Museum and will have its annual Ride the Racetrack event on the Sunday before Race Week. In fact, Andrews is face that is quite familiar around Highlands County, especially the. Sebring area. Most recently an associate at Carlson Accounting, Andrews has been a small businessman in Highlands County for many years and was a former chamber board member. Sebring Chamber of Commerce president Mike Carter termed Andrews "the best fit." "Over the past 10 years he has developed into a tremendous community leader and we all look forward to him taking the chamber to the next level," Carter said of Andrews. Currently, Andrews serves as the president of the Rotary Club of Sebring and vice president of the Ridge Trails Association. ., - At 30 years old, Andrews might be the youngest per- son to hold the executive vice president's job for the chamber. We have to agree with Carter. Andrews is a tremen- dous community leader. His record speaks for itself. He cAn and, we are sure, will take the chamber to the next level.

'It is a well-recognized function of modem journal- ism, especially in America, to play the part of an electric light in a dark alley.' ERNEST S. SIMPSON, managing editor, San Francisco Call, 1909 The kids in their cars with their loud speakers are bad enough. The race track and stunt planes contribute to the noise. This live fire bombing only adds insult to injury. Having been a US Marine during the Vietnam era, the sound of bombs brings back bad memories for me. As you know, many people come to Sebring and other parts of Highlands County because of the peace, quiet and serenity of the area. The orange groves, golf courses, many retirement 1- communities and other ameni- re ties that dot the county, rs account for the increase in the d county population and add to ;s the quality of life in the com- d munity. I like this area instead - of either coast, where it is much i- busier, noisy and the traffic is a d mess. s, Much was said in the recent d newspaper article about the e safety issues that hadn't been q addressed-by the military and g of the adverse environmental e impact to the area. I'm sure e there are many people in the I- community with far more expertise in those areas than I, so I will leave that to them. If d there is one thing I know about, it is real estate and economic g development. e Owning my own real estate I- company and being an active e real. estate broker, economic d development'consultant nation- e ally and a former mayor of f Springdale, Ohio, I can assure you and the other members of t the' county commission and e anyone else that has an interest )t in the long-term development i- of the area, that this increased use of the bombing range can n only have an adverse impact to g the continued development of the county. You may as well put up a federal prison on U. S. 27 at Jackson lake. The negative ,, impact to development 'and growth in the area would be the same. o The seasonal influx of visi- tors that come here annually, n the "Snow Birds," do not want at to spend their winters in an area s that is nosier than their homes e up north. Fear of a misguided d bomb or crashing aircraft or , some other accident will deter - many from locating in the area. k That's not good for the local - economy. They could spend their money on new homes in t other areas of the state just as g easily as they do here. I'm sur- , prised the local board of real- e tors haven't reacted to this - issue. e We all know that the military n needs to train their pilots. But e as it has been said since George a Washington's time. "Not in my , backyard." There has to be a s better place than here. I am attaching an article that was printed by the Associated s Press today. The article speaks of the 425 base closures. It 0 would appear that the Avon Park Bombing Range may be used much more than is cur- rently being reported by the military. The elected county officials n of Highlands County, our area congressmen, senators and state officials need to act as a r group to fight this proposal - while they can. Once it is in s place, it will be too late to do something about it. The time to mount a campaign against this is now. Please represent the people of Highlands County on this issue.

Murphy Domesticated just in time Honestly, I really hate to be the first one to admit it, but I think that I am actually grow- ing up. It is a scary concept that at times makes me wish that I have a bottle labeled "Peter Pan Potion" that just allows me to be a child forever. But, I know that idea is noth- ing but a dream. What leads me to this deci- sion of finally growing up are the recent events in my life. I have applied to colleges for this next August. But, my friends, the shock of moving out of my parents' house was just the least of my dilemmas. For, it seems to me that through this one year staying at home to attend the local Harvard on the Highway has (dun, dun, dun ...) domesticated me! This comes as a real stunner to not only me, but the rest of my family. After all, I was the one who preached for a good year straight that I, their oldest daughter, am quite an inde- pendent soul. I remember the conversations that took place of me almost constantly saying, "Yes, but I am an adult now and I think I can figure it out on my own." . With time comes a bit of knowledge.. These days, I refuse to say those words any longer. Because, come to find out, I have much to learn. Only the first bit of it has started these last few weeks. Now, let me tell you some- thing; I never realized how much my Momma did for me until I started to do it myself. I decided that I should begin to learn how to do the necessi- ties of the house. You know, the laundry, the dishes,. the cook- ing. These chores (that I man- aged to get out of for the last 19 years) aren't as horrible as,,I thought that they would be. . The other night, believe it or not, I made dinner. (And, it was not the occasional peanut-b- / ter and jelly sandwich tha7 I. like to pass as supper). It Was dinner with all the trimmiligs/ The bread, the drink (Kool-Aid counts, right?), and yes, the fet& tuccine alfredo. All the while, the laundry was getting washed and the dishes were being cleaned. (I do understand that there are many folks who have done this since the beginning of their lives. To ya'll, I just want to say please don't bust my bubble. For this is a huge step for the girl who could only make slice- and-bake cookies for years. I might be able to get up to your level of expertise, but it will take time.) You know, I guess it means that I can take "Find a cook" off of my "to-do" list for when- ever I go off to college. After all, before you know it, I might be entering that cook-athon or I might be making your dinner. Not all that scary anymore, is it? Lindsey N.

News-Sun, Wednesday, February 23, 2005 E-mail reveals some news \ that apparently didn't fit 1 9 It Every once in a . while we get news tips in the office. They have come to be known as "didja know" calls. Sometimes they ask if we were aware of an interesting per- son in the communi- ty, perhaps a new BEI business adventure or FRI an unusual happen- ing. BARRIO Sometimes they . are rumors that can- not be substantiated but some- times they turn into interesting stories. Last week I received a "didja know" e-mail from an alert reader that I found interesting inasmuch as that although I fol- low the news pretty closely I hadn't heard of any of it. It went like this: "Did you know thaf 47 coun- tries have re-established their embassies in Iraq? "Did you know that the Iraqi government employs 1.2 mil- lion Iraqi people?

High School Baseball Filling holes key to Avon Park's season BY JOHN RITTER News-Sun Correspondent AVON PARK The story is compelling from district champions to holding position auditions. The Devils start 2005 launching the old-fashioned rebuilding year with four starters returning, a new game plan and a brand-new member of the coaching staff. Head coach Mort Jackson has been earning his paycheck. "We've got some good young kids and we've got some good leftovers from last year," Jackson said. "We've got four starters from last year back and we've got to replace five guys and, you know, you move on." Last year, the Devils were district champions and provid- ed six players to the All-County team. Only one is returning. New-found infielder Billy Dobson, who was also a third team All-State selection after batting .450 in his junior year" as a center fielder, second-best in the county behind Sebring alum Wisley Correa (.453). But without a clear-cut home run threat, Jackson has had to improvise and coach the little things for the first time in years. "Any time you start over, it's go back to the fundamentals and make sure that they know the basics of the game and that's where you start. As they get better in the season you can add -more and more," Jackson said. "But I'm. excited, the kids are excited and it's a new start." "The main thing is going to be for us is -the fundamentals and be error free, don't make mistakes," Dobson agreed. "Get good pitching and don't make- mistakes. I mean, we don't have to score seven runs a game with good pitching." One of Jackson's first priori- ties during this past summer was working with pitchers and See KEY, Page 4B TA ~ ~ r 47 Vqw SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Sebring shortstop Ryan Williams throws to first too late for a double play after forcing out Lake Region's Travis Beckwith Tuesday at Head Field in Avon Park. Blue Streaks, Red Devils both struggle in Early Bird openers By SCOTT DRESSEL Sports Editor AVON PARK The Blue Streaks started strong in Tuesday's season-opening game against Lake Region. Unfortunately for them, Thunder pitcher Za'cK'Bove fin- ished even stronger. *s Bove, W'ho gave up'two runs on two hits in the first inning, settled down and allowed just two more hits the rest of the way and picked up all seven of his strikeouts over the final three innings as Lake Region rallied for a 6-2 win in the first game of the Jarrett Ford Early Bird Tournament at Head Field. Sebring took a 2-0 lead on an RBI double from Kiko Vazquez, who stole home on a double steal following Chaz Abeln's single, but Bove shut the Streaks down the rest of the way with the exception of Tony Vazquez, who got the other two " Sebring hits with a fourth- inning single and a double in the sixtl. "It looked like we got to looking for a curveball with two strikes, and you can't do that," Sebring coach Hoppy Rewis said. "We pressed a little bit. We're like a lot of teams: We've got a lot of youth, and it's going to be a slow process, but you only have to win the last game to be great. That youth showed itself in the bottom of the first when Lake Region got three runs on singles from Cody Hatmaker and Kevin Kok along with an error, a walk and a run-scoring balk. Jeff Stewart's two-run single in the fifth was the key blow in the Thunder's second three-run inning of the game, the only blemish on what was a pretty solid relief effort for Sebring by Chris Welborn, who came on to start the fourth in relief of starter Dusty Campbell. Welborn followed Stewart's hit with two of his four strikeouts to get out of the jam, but the See EARLY, Page 4B Sebring could make another run in playoffs BY JOHN RITTER News-Sun Correspondent SEBRING With very lit- tle effort and probably very lit- tle imagination, it would be possible to envision head coach Hoppy Rewis deliriously happy with the outcome of this season at Sebring. In fact, it wouldn't be hard for the casual fan to see the Streaks deep into the state play- offs again because they look just as strong as last year's team that reached the regional championship for the second time in five years. The Streaks led Highlands County in just about every sta- tistical category possible in 2004, including wins with 24. And as luck would have it, sev- eral of the key players from that team will be returning to the roster, including All- County selections Ryan Williams, Kiko Vazquez and Chaz Abeln. "We'd like to think (Williams and Vazquez) would have a good year, their senior year," Rewis said. "But we don't want to put a whole lot of pressure on them. We expect them to step up like any sen- iors." Williams led the county in home runs (five), Vazquez led in walks (23), while Abeln's nine saves were also a best. Vazquez is also the llth- ranked first baseman in the nation and the 133rd prospect overall according to tea- monebaseball.com. And with Dusty Campbell-. filling the void wheraPlPe(t if,: the Year Wisley Correa used to' be in the batting order, it's obvious hitting will be the least of Rewis' problems. During their two preseason games, the Streaks put up 16 runs, including a 13-2 win over Fort Meade. Three Streaks hit home runs that game, including a Chris Welborn blast in his See SEBRING, Page 4B Wrestling Sebring trio heads to state with medals on their mind ALEX ACKEMANN/News-Sun The Sebring Blue Streaks celebrate with their District 14-4A championship trophy Saturday night in Lemon Bay. Class 4A Boys Basketball State Playoffs Blue Streaks ready for challenge of facing No. 1-ranked Lakewood BY CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer SEBRING The Blue Streaks could not be any more ready. Fresh from winning the District 14-4A tourna- ment championship with a 42-34 victory over Lehigh in Englewood on Saturday, Sebring now welcomes Class 4A No. 1 St. Petersburg Lakewood into Blue Streak Gym for the playoff opener at 7 p.m. Thursday night. "You wouldn't believe the energy that we have. This is big for us," Sebring head coach Princeton Harris said. "This team here loves chal- lenges. This is a challenge for us, one of the biggest challenges that they'll face in their lives, and I think they're going to step up to the plate for it. The Spartans (27-2) were upset in the District 13 final 93-84 by tournament host and state No. 13 Sarasota Booker, and Harris believes his No. 15 Streaks (22-5) are capable of the same feat. "Watching Lakewood on Friday night, in watching them, they're not as deep as us, they're not as big as us," Harris said. "I don't want to say that they're overrated, because they have some great athletes on the team, but if you can handle Lakewood's pressure, press, and you box them out, (because) they've got athletes who crash the See READY, Page 4B By SCOlT DRESSEL Sports Editor SEBRING Maybe it's an omen. By getting upset in the 145-pound finals of the Region 3-1A meet Saturday night, Sebring's Blake Germaine will get to see a familiar face staring at him when he takes the mat for his opening-round match in the state finals at the Lakeland Center on Thursday. David Deaton of Panama City-Bay was the same oppo- nent Germaine had in the first round of last year's state tour- nament, which ended with Germaine wrestling for the 140-pound state champi- onship. And, if Germaine can win that match and one more, he's likely to see another repeat opponent from last year in Victor Porter from Crawfordville-Wakulla. Germaine beat both of those wrestlers last year - although 'he nearly lost to Deaton before rallying late - and hopes the fact he'll be in the same bracket with them this year means more success for him at state. "Hopefully it goes the same way, except for the end result," Germaine said, refer- ring to his loss in the finals. "That would be all right." Of course, last year Germaine came into the state tourney as a regional champi- on, something he was expect- ed to do again this time around until Jamie Hemingway of Fort Myers- Riverdale stunned him in the First-Round Pairings 135 Pounds Brian McCreary, Sr., 29-9 vs. Andy Millburn, Jr., 10-1 Green Cove Springs-Clay 145 Pounds Blake Germaine, Sr., 44-2 vs. David Deaton, Jr., 31-5 Panama City-Bay 160 Pounds Dillon McGovern, Sr., 25-6 vs. Carlos Friger, Jr., 22-3 Miami-Archbishop Carroll final with a 4-3 defeat. "It woke him up, that's for sure;" Sebring coach Dave Cunningham said of Germaine's loss. "His head really wasn't ready for the match. I think there were so many people there talking to him and I think he was a little overconfident. He hasn't been pushed a lot." Germaine agreed that the loss just his second of the year was a definite wake- up call. "After I couldn't take him down and couldn't get my shot, I got flustered," he said. "I couldn't get my takedown at the end." Despite the setback, Germaine is still a favorite to finish in the top six and earn a medal and, according to Cunningham, the other two Blue Streaks headed to state See STATE, Page 4B AP youth football seeks coaching applications AVON PARK Avon Park Youth Football is now accept- ing applications for football and cheerleading coaches.

"I think we're thinking so much, we can't play," Rewis said. "We've got them thinking too much, and that's normal when you've got a lot of youth out there. They're trying to do everything right instead of just playing the game." Sebastian River 10 Avon Park 1 By CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer The youthful Red Devils did little Tuesday night to answer the questions surrounding their inexperience. Avon Park was held without a baserunner through four innings and committed four errors while Sebastian River piled up 12 total hits in a 10-1 rout for the Sharks in the first day of the Early Bird tourney. Josh Young (1-0) mastered the Devil bats, striking out eight while walking only one in five innings for the win. Michael Diaz, who had come in as a defensive replacement in the top of the fifth, doubled in the bottom of the inning to break up the perfect and later scored the only Avon Park run on a groundout. The only other hit for the Devils came in the seventh off the bat of Billy Dobson, who absorbed the loss on the mound after allowing five earned runs in four innings of work. Evan Cook was the primary wrecking ball for Sebastian River, going 4-for-4 with three CI Self-promotion is in his blood SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Sebring's Tony Vazquez singles into left field for one of his two hits Tuesday against Lake Region. RBIs. Tanner Keeler put the first run on the board with a homer to left in the second, and followed with a single in the third. Chris Tayor went 2-for-4, as did Tim Jobe, who relieved Young on the mound in the final two innings. Chavious Gordon pitched two innings of relief for Avon Park, giving ,up two hits and two runs, one of which was earned. Scott Green then threw the final inning and gave up three hits and two runs, both earned. The torch has been passed. When I was growing up, I thought every time I picked up a ball, it would be the occasion upon which some heretofore unearthed talent emerged, set- ting me in motion toward a pro sports career. Of course, nothing like that has happened, and seeing as how I'm 25 now, somehow I think nothing is going to. So rather than pin my hopes on becoming the Grandma Moses of sports, I can now shift focus on my nephew, Walter Franklin Caudle IV, born to my sister on Monday. Now, neither of Franklin's parents are into sports, so it's up to me, his only uncle, to mentor him. In the grand tradi- tion of Richard Williams, Mary Marinovich and the really annoying parent at the soccer game, I have it all planned out. First, and most importantly, Franklin will not be eating any vegetables or drinking any milk. I never did as a kid, and yet, at 6-foot-1, I'm the tallest member of my entire extended family. So there, science! Every chance I get to visit Franklin, we will of course be playing catch. I'm sure it will be difficult for him to develop proper throwing technique while still unable to walk, but the benefits will pay off in the long run. After I use my connections TIME OUT Chuck Myron in sports journalism to put every one of Franklin's high school basketball games on national television, therefore creating speculation'that he will be the NBA's top draft pick at the age of 18, I will call a press conference to announce that he has instead accepted a full ride to Penn. Why Penn? Because they play football at Franklin Field, of course, and because it is an Ivy League school. The Ivy League does not offer athletic scholarships, but this will be no hindrance for Franklin, who will say, when I allow him to speak at his press conference, that he owes all of his intelli- gence to his uncle. Though his father will prob- ably take exception to this notion, and his mother, I'm sure, will remind me that she and I share the same genetics, therefore meaning Franklin more directly inherited his smarts from her, and not me, the court of public opinion, having become well-acquaint- ed with yours truly by then, will no doubt rule otherwise. It is publicity, after all, which will fuel The Franklin Caudle Show. After graduating with honors from Penn, and becoming the first person to ever to make the NBA All-Star Game, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and the Pro Bowl, it'll be endorse- ments out the wazoo. Not just for Franklin, but for me, too. You see, Franklin will be such a transcendent star that even the people around him will be famous. And filthy rich because of it. 'One can become wealthy if they inherit a for- tune from their uncle, but uncles can first build those for- tunes on the backs of their nephews. This is precisely what could happen for me. I might also get a call one day from Franklin, letting me know he's not even trying out for his middle school team because it would get in the way of his activities with the chess club and the debate team. And I would be just as proud. Chuck Myron is a sports writer for the News-Sun. SEBRING Continued from 1B first at bat and a grand slam by Williams. With Sebring still in the bas- ketball playoffs, the Streaks will still have some changing to do when Blake Sanders returns with center fielder A.C. Wilson. "I wouldn't be surprised if A.C. could go out there and catch a fly ball on the first day, but how long it takes to where he can hit the pitching, who - knows?" Rewis said. "So that's an unknown and the other one that's coming is Blake and (he) can play, but how long will it take to get him to catch up and get up to speed?" Rounding out the outfield will be Jeromy Berish, Campbell and Drew Bishop. Graduation took its biggest toll on the mound for Sebring, grabbing Rewis' two best starters in Bruce Beumel and Will Pyle, but the fifth-year coach remains adamant about his confidence in juniors Rudy READY Continued from 1B boards, they're beatable. That's what I told my guys." Lakewood is led by last year's second-team all-state guard Sean Morrison, the final remaining link to the school's 2002 state championship team, and rugged 6-foot-5 forward Mario Telfair. The Streaks counter with a balanced attack that keeps opponents guessing. "It's hard to plan for," Harris said of his team. "You're key- ing on stopping one guy, and you've got four other ones who are capable of hurting you at any one time, and then you've got three or four guys coming off the bench who can come and contribute and add more depth to the team." Levocz and Chris Welbornm, as well as Vazquez. "We've got people who've pitched their whole lives," Rewis said. "We don't know what everybody's role is right now, but we've got about five good arms and just the biggest thing for us will be throwing strikes. If we can throw strikes and not go deep in the count, I think it'll really help us." Abeln will also return as the closer in his sophomore year, although he could spending most of the game catching. "If (Abelfi) wasn't catching, I could probably tell you exactly what we're going to do," Rewis said. "But sitting back there two nights in a row, catching two games and then you try to (pitch) is tough. And it all depends on what (other catcher) J.C. (Shoop) does. The better he gets then the better we get." Sebring will also have Campbell and Colt Williams to use on the mound. "I've never seen anyone hit Dusty one time through that lineup," Rewis said. "He t Senior cen- ter Kevin Dixon led the way Saturday night with 11 points and A.C.

HARRIS Yet Harris believes the sixth man will be a key weapon on Thursday, with the recently dubbed "Harris Hecklers," a rowdy section of students, sure to be in rare form. "The most important thing in coming away with (the district title) was being able to come back home, and not having to travel," he said. "Last year we KEY Continued from 1B added Seth Lambert from Warner Southern as a- pitching coach. "We graduated all three of our starting pitchers last year and nine seniors, so this was just a good time to bring him in," said Jackson. "We needed a pitching coach and I have done it in the past but this was just a chance to get a good young guy, who was excited about the game." "This new pitching coach we've got has been working with us a lot and got us looking a lot bet- ter than what we did," Dobson said. "So that'll help us out a lotand a lot of people are moving up from where they were in pitching just working with this guy." Jackson also had to fill the gaps in his starting lineup. "Well, we've got to find a catcher, a second baseman, a left fielder, a right fielder," Jackson said. "But our third baseman is back, our first' baseman is back and a couple of our outfielders. But other than that, like I said, we've got four guys that played last year that are back." always does well one time through. And that's what we're going to ask him to do is pitch one inning here, two innings there; give us some good innings. "With Colt, it is just a matter of throwing strikes. They're not going to hit him, so we've got a lot of options there. I don't see pitching being a weakness for us." Colt Williams will also be in one of the few position battles at second base with sophomore Ryan Williams. "Second base is a big'battle right now, probably more so than anything," said Rewis. "And the good part is it's a bat- tle but we feel confident with either one of them. Whether it's Colt or Ryan and they've both played well." After reaching the regional final last season, Rewis got as close as he had ever been to a championship as a baseball coach. That, however, may become outdated after this cam- paign. had to travel to Lakewood and they beat us over there; this year they've got to come to us, so we hope the tide has changed." Harris also made it clear the Streaks will enter with an atti- tude of more than just hope. "You just take it as 'It's just another team.' They've got five players and we've got five play- ers, and we're going to put 10 on the court and go at-it," he said. "I'm not changing any- thing we do as a team. We're going to still do the same things that we do." Indeed, Harris is certain the Streaks can at least come close. "You're not just going to see a blowout. It won't be a blowout, I guarantee you that," he said. "It's going to be a dog- fight, all 32 minutes of the game." This season's Early Bird tournament will most likely clean up a lot of questions the Devils have, especially the pitching situation that will be more of a cut-and-paste job with Robert Lewis being the ace and lefty Johnny Sedlock behind him. Jackson also plans to use Dobson in the rotation as well as Chavious Gordon. Receiving those tosses will be catchers Luke Sedlock and Paul Conrad, the first of numerous and scattered position battles for the Devils. Some will be cleared up this week. Some won't. But .four seniors from last year's district championship team will now have to lead after falling short the previous season. "The four seniors I have back are a lot hungri- er and so are some of the younger kids who.were here," Jackson said. "You know, it makes you work harder, it makes the kids realize where they have to be and it was just we didn't do the things we needed to do (last year)." "It makes you want it a lot more because you were that close to it and it just pushes you more because you know how far you have to go to get to the next level," Dobson said. But you never really know until that first game." SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Brian McCreary looks for an opening against Kevin Sanchez of Riverdale in the 135-pound consolation finals Saturday night at South Florida Community College. STATE Continued from 1B with him could do the same thing. Dillon McGovern beat Mickey Clay of LaBelle, 4-2, in the 160-pound consolation finals Saturday to earn a second straight trip to state and Brian McCreary was a double-over- time winner over Kevin Sanchez of Riverdale in the 135-pound consolation final to finish third and earn his first trip to state. "They all have pretty decent draws," Cunningham said. "I think there's a chance for all three to place (top six). There's only one place we're looking for for Blake. When you're run- ner-up, there's only one place to go." McGovern thinks.the fact he made it to Lakeland last year, when he finished one win short of a medal, will serve him well. "I'm a little more prepared," he said. "You've got to walk out on 12 mats instead of four mats, so it's a little bit different. It's an experience, but it's fun." McGovern also likes the fact he did better at state last year than did his first-round oppo- nent, Carlos Friger of Miami- Archbishop Caroll. McCreary, on the other hand, doesn't have that kind of expe- rience to draw on since he failed to make weight at the regional last season, missing a chance to qualify as a junior. He said he hasn't asked his two teammates for any pointers yet.

MCreary faces Andy Millburn of Green Cove Springs-Clay in the first round, and said,the nerves will disap- pear once he hits the mat. "I'm going to wrestle it like any other match," he said, "Just go there and do my best." One thing that might help McCreary is the chance to see the Lakeland Center early. "We're going over the night before because the arena's open and we can work out," Cunningham said. "It's not as quite as important for Blake and Dillon because they've been there ... you walk in and there's 12 mats and the big arena and it's kind of overwhelming." Thursday's opening-round matches start at noon. ,The Briqhtest Way to Turn Your Real Estate Advertising into Greenbacks (money that's) Look for our Racks, Today!
