The Navy is proposing doing live ordnance bombing at the range with training exercises from Navy Carrier Strike Groups operating either in the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Fleet Readiness Training Programs take place about three times a year, possibly as often as six a year, depending on the state of world politics. That could mean 60-120 days of operations each year, depending on weather and fire risks. Local officials and citizens are concerned about possible environmental risks from heavy metals and residues leaching into the water table through the soil, wetlands, or getting into the Kissimmee River. The Navy needs that range because the range at Vieques, an island east of Puerto Rico, has been closed after 60 years of use. Vieques The Navy closed Vieques range after April 19; 1999, when two mis-aimed bombs from a jet fighter killed a 35- year-old security guard at an observation post. As many as 150,000 people protested in the streets of San Juan. See NAVY, page 7A Range still doing clean up from World War II use Range Restoration, Advisory Board. Paul Ebersbach, chief of the Environmental Flight Wing at the range, said the process is moving much faster now that researchers have been able to bundle two 'or three siLe visits into one funding request and had rep- resentatives with the Environmental Protection Agency on hand to analyze the data and verify it quicker. That means quicker identi- fication of "hot spots" spe- cific locations thai need cleanup, and funding to clean up those areas. Apparently, the EPA took See RANGE, page 7A By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun AVON PARK - Researchers with the U.S. Air Force Environmental Restoration Program are dealing right now with help- ing clean up landfills, storage sites and other potentially contaminated areas on the range. Mike Stevens, restoration program manager, said there is concern with contamina- tion of the soil because, in Florida, that usually means contaminated ground water. "Every base in Florida is dealing with the same thing," he said Tuesday at a meeting of the Avon Park Air Force Crazy hat parade KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sun Edna Mae Veillette (left), Bill Kempt and his wife, Beverly, partici-. pate Wednesday afternoon in a crazy hat contest at Buttonwood Bay in Sebring. Men and women were divided into two groups while each participant paraded around in front of three judges.

She has taught all grade levels and in every type of school public, private and parochial. Originally an English teacher, she went back to the University of Kentucky and earned a master's degree in library science.

Recently retired as the media specialist at Sebring High School, she began her career in 1972 as a librarian at Fred Wild Elementary School. retired after a career teaching, physics and math at South Florida Community College, she became a librarian at Fred Wild Elementary School. Nine years later she trans- ferred to Sebring High School, still a librarian but now called a media specialist. The computer age In the '90s, with the advent of personal computers, the school district moved to wire its campuses. "It was an idea who's time had come," Smith said. Everyone was behind it. Smith was in the vanguard of this evolution, writing the grant that brought the first five computers to Fred Wild. She was equally excited by the advent of television in the classroom, and the creation of television production classes. Smith described the heady optimism of the early'high tech days. "We felt (the use of com- puters) was going to be the great leveling field, where chil- dren from less advantaged homes would get a head start," she said.

As part of their learning experience they have competed in a Florida Restaurant Association cook-off to demonstrate what they've learned. This year will be no exception. "They will have one hour to prepare and serve a gourmet meal," Hollenberg said. To help fund the effort, a special dinner is planned at Outback Steakhouse. For $10, diners will get a nine-ounce sirloin cooked to order with all the trimmings. "Outback has been great; all of the money will go into the program," she said. The meal will not be cooked by the students, but they will be the direct beneficiaries. The goal is to sell all 150 tickets and raise $1,500 for the trip to the state competition. "That pays for hotel, food and the materials to compete," she said. The Sebring High School Culinary Program came out of a visit by members of the Florida Restaurant Association. "Some of the FRA people were here as guests and they told me 'You need to be part of the Pro Start Program,' Hollenberg said. So she and Louise Tompkins from Lake Placid High School decided to become involved. The teachers have been attending annual classes at Johnson & Wales University in Miami for a week each summer as part of their continuing education. "Avon Park just got on board this year so ,, KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sut Sebring High School culinary art students pre- pared mahi mahi topped with tropical salsa, coconut fruit salad and cheesecake as practice for an upcoming culinary competition. now all of the schools are involved," she said. Hollenberg has big plans for her students. She has already conducted tours to the kitchens' of Universal Studios and Disney. Her next effort will be to try and arrange a meeting with famous chef Emeril Lagasse. , She said her students have shown a great deal of expertise and inventiveness even though they have not always been able to get the mate- rials they've needed.

U.S. agency highlights its purpose By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Victoria Yuro, a senior benefits advisor with the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration, was this month's guest speaker at Avon Park's Chamber of Commerce breakfast, held at the Jacaranda Hotel Thursday morning. EBSA protects the integrity of pension arid health plans, and other employee benefits for more than 150 million people. As an advisor, Yuro, based in Plantation, answers questions over the phone, and goes on out-reach tours. EBSA advisors answer questions from employ- ees about benefit plans and what size companies have to provide what kind of benefits. It helps employers to under- stand what benefits they need to provide so they can comply with the law. At the federal level, EBSA officials work to promote poli- cies and regulations that encourage the growth of employment based benefits. It also serves as a watchdog agency, making sure employees receive the benefits promised. and integrate into any commu- nity," group organizer Sarah Hopton said. "Without long- standing relationships, it's hard to move up." It's also hard to stay. Hopton has moved eight times in the last five years for her career. It was easy to move with no strong emotional attachments, but a social network would give people a reason to stay, she said. "People 'stay because they build relationships," she said. Young Professionals may help to distribute the weight in the community, which Hopton calls "top heavy" with retirees Group to tap, help professionals 21-35 By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING Career minded young people have decided to seize an opportunity for person- al and professional growth. On Saturday, a new group Young Professionals will kick off an inaugural event to gather young professionals, ages 21-35, in Highlands and Hardee counties, and help them meet their social and profes- sional needs.

Today is the official grand reopening of the substation. Roadhouse Grille to be newest addition at mall By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING It appears that yet another restaurant may soon be moving into Highlands County. Anew Roadhouse Grill may s Mogo on an outparcel at LakeslI Mall. "It's ofn the piece of property behind the new furniture store and the mall," Lake shore Mall Manager Paul Loy said. Loy said he had seen plans for the eatery but to date has no timeframe for the construc- tion. W e're j "They've done the site to open work out there. I've seen the the late flags," he said. Ca r o or early Boyajian of Investments of CAROL BOYA South Florida confirmed that the restaurant is on track. "We're planning to open up in the late summer or early fall," she said. Boyajian did not have the exact square footage of. the restaurant but she estimated that when fully operational it would seat 200-250 people. The closest Roadhouse Grill is in Lakeland. Boyajian said this would be a franchise oper- ation. It will be the first restau- rant with which the company has become involved. "We thought this would be a good investment because peo- p S th ple always want to go out and have a nice meal and we thought this would be a good place for it," she said. They were drawn to Sebring because the Boyajian family owns property on the shores of Lake Istokpoga. "We just love it up there. It's an ideal location to open a fam- ily restaurant," she said. "It's a very lovely town and we're very excited about it." Incorporated planning in 1992, R.o ad house p in Grill Inc. owns ahd operates 69 summerr full-service, casual dining fall restaurants across the AN, franchisee action and around the world. The first company-owned restaurant opened its doors in Pembroke Pines in March 1993. Since then, the company has opened restaurants in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. The company also franchises 11 restaurants in Ohio, Las Vegas, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in Brasilia, Brazil and in Italy Pordenone, Bologna, Legano, Mantova and Rome. and people 65 and older. Hotels, tourism, golf courses, county government and other services have to have qualified young people to run them and support others' needs. "We want the brightest and the best," she said. "Without cultivating that, they are going." The Young Professionals' kickoff event will start at 3 p.m. Saturday a 'free barbecue with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, soft drinks, and a live band at the Island, behind the Candlelight Restaurant in Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Improvement District. Mem- bership is directed at those 21- 35. Hopton said most people she surveyed who are younger than 21 are still in school or working their way up. By early to mid- 20s, most young professionals have solidified their career choices, even if they are still working toward those goals. Young Professionals can then help them refine those choices and make time for strong friend and family connections. The group will have social events and professional semi- nars throughout the year. Seminars include such things as financial planning, wellness, spirituality, and making rela- tionship and family time. Social events include regular barbe- cues, group theater or -sports event trips and even an annual nature event with camping, raft- ing, cycling, hiking or other outdoor activities. Young Professionals, or "YP," is an affiliate of the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce, 385-8448. The group will have monthly meet- ings/mixers, hosting them at different restaurants or clubs throughout the year. For more information, call Hopton at 381-2106. Wally Randall looks for continuity as new school board chairman By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun AVON PARK In his sec- ond term of office as a member of the Highlands County school board, Wally Randall is now its chairman. Looking ahead, he sees a Time of continuation and con- solidation. "Everyone associated with the school board of Highlands County is committed to the delivery of quality education to every student we can reach," he said. "It's a whole lot more of an 'us,' than a 'we' and a 'they'." Randall wants to focus on five specific areas in addition to continuing the general over all improvement of local schools. First, he is committed to con- tinuing to improve the safety of the schools. There are already plans to increase lighting on campuses, and to replace cur- rent security camera systems with high definition, color cam- eras. These changes will begin in the high schools, and will eventually include all schools. Second, he is committed to continuing efforts to free guid- ance counselors from some of their collateral duties, so they can spend more time advising students. For example, Randall points out that too many students don't know about many of the schol- arships and stipends available from local service organiza- tions, which can make college more affordable. Given more time to advise students, guid- ance counselors can be instru- mental in helping a student ful- fill a dream of a higher educa- tion. Randall and the school board are absolutely committed to continuing the rapid recovery from the damage done by last year's hurricanes. Much progress has already occurred, and where possible, improve- ments have been made to schools in the course of the repairs. For example, the interior of the administration building at Avon Park High School has been redesigned to provide a better work flow and more space. Randall's fourth goal is to lead the board in seeking certi- fication. Currently only Donna Howerton has completed the process, although the Rev. Richard Norris is well along the way. "I think we get a lot accom- plished," Randall said. "Each board member brings strengths to the table, and that's good," he said. "The certification is not because we need it, but because we can work even more effec- tively with it." Randall's point is that in dealing with state legislatures, administration officials, and federal agencies, the more sophisticated the approach, and the deeper the understanding of the various processes, the more effective a board can be. He also feels that by going to work- shops as a group, the board will increase an already colle- gial working atmosphere. Finally, the area Randall most wants to improve is the area of work- RANDALL ing conditions for all school board personnel, whether they work at the dis- trict office, in classrooms, in cafeterias, on buses or as sup- port staff. "He pointed out that much has already been done in terms of lessening a teacher's paper work load, and in explor- ing ways to bring in more data entry operators. "The more time we can allow a teacher to teach, the better off the students will be," he said. Randall also pointed out two areas of looming challenge. The first is building enough classrooms- to meet the new classroom mandates, and house the ever increasing numbers of new students moving into the district. "The class size amendment created a greater demand with- out stimulating the supply side. I don't see the incentives," he. explained. He added that the problem went beyond mortar and brick. "You can build all the class- rooms that money can buy, but without enough teachers (and support personnel) you have nothing. We need to continue to work with our legislatures for more significant commitment. "We'd do well to remember (the late) Archie Summers' two questions (Summers was a county commissioner for many years): How much is it going to cost, and who is going to .pay for it?" Because the state is not pro- viding incentives, it will be& up to each county to find a wa 1to finance the new building pro- grams. Here in Highlands County the board has 'already agreed to ask for a half penny tax increase, which will have a sunset feature. " In preparation, the board is, conducting an exhaustive 4uidit at each school and will develop a highly specialized plan. "When we go to the public and they ask what the money is going to buy, we'll be able to tell them exactly. We will be precise' and accurate to the penny. The people have my per- sonal word on that," Randall said. Randall grew up in Florida and moved to Highlands County in 1984. He is a gradu- ate of the University of South Florida and teaches the GED program for the South Florida Community College at its Hardee campus. He has always been' very active in youth activities and local government, serving three terms as an Avon Park city councilman. This is his second term on the school board; he intends to run for a third term. Having a hard time finding Porcelain & Ceramic Wall & Floor Tile in Highlands County? See Us!

S iy lMissed.sl All Our Love Forever, Your Husband, Sisters, Church Family and Friends News-Sun SEBRING Highlands County sher- -iff's deputies have been investigating a case of Florida driver's licenses and other iden- , tification obtained with false information. They have charged Alvin Jerome Hollinger, 31, of Orlando, with two counts of unauthorized possession of a driver's license, two counts of criminal use of per- sonal identification information, two counts of forgery on a traffic citation, and two Orange County warrants. Bond was set at $8,000 on all of the charges except a violation of community control warrant, which has no bond. One of the false driver's licenses was issued at 10:57.a.m. March 18, 2004, but wasn't discovered as false until June 2004. It had a citation issued to it when deputies discovered it was false. They enlisted the help of the Florida Highway Patrol Bureau of Investigations to discover the alleged forgery. When they researched the Social Security number, it was issued to another man who lives in Orlando. Hollinger, when he signed the fake license, committed per-. jury and forgery, reports said. Deputies also discovered Hollinger had obtained a license at 1:25 p.m. May 25, 2001, from the Sebring Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office. Again, he allegedly used another man's Social Security number, this time, a man from Tennessee. Again, he signed the fake license, swearing it -was true.

Future classic goes up in smoke By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING John Manus had dreams for his car, a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass, a four- door, Brougham edition, with only 72,000 miles. It had been in an accident and Manus was expecting a settle- ment payment sometime in the next two weeks. He had planned to put all the money from the settlement into the car, restoring it to classic status. After all, the car was 21 years old, just four shy of becoming antique. Manus had plans. Unfortunately, those plans went. up in smoke Wednesday morning. He had started the engine for the first time in a while and was letting it idle, when suddenly it cut off. Almost immediately Manus smelled smoke. He lifted the hood to see that the engine was enveloped in flames. At this point he called 911. The West Sebring Volunteer Fire Department, under the command of assistant fire chief Gene Trumble, arrived within 10 minutes of the call and had the fire out within the next 20 minutes. Because the car was located near the house, and a propane gas tank was nearby, there had been. early concerns of an explosion, however, the fire, was brought so quickly under control, those dangers were avoided. By PAULINE AU YANG News-Sun correspondent SEBRING They find joy in helping others and are dedi- cated to the cause of which they believe in, rebuilding lives through service. For two weeks, 16 members of the Family Motorcoach Association, representing Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and Ohio, brave the hot sun, worked tirelessly and assisted in building Habitat for Humanity homes in Highlands County. "What is life if you are not helping someone or making a difference?" said team leader Nell Darlington. "Our willing- ness to help has made us new friends all over, somewhat like an extended family ... we have fun meeting others. We have satisfaction seeing homeowners finally realizing their dreams. It is rewarding." Nancy Engstom who along with her husband Bob are from Whippany, N.J., said being a part of the team to build Habitat homes has been a learning process. "Initially, I couldn't hammer a nail ... now I can lay tile and paint. Being apart of the team gave me the opportunity to acquire new skills." Rosemarie McLaughlin along with her husband Bill of Old Saybrook, Conn., said this Habitat house is their 10th build. Rosemarie McLaughlin said as retirees they wanted to use their retirement in a positive way by helping others. "This project is so special to us, especially when we see the expressing of gratitude on the face of those we help ... it is a wonderfully exhilarating expe- rience," she said. A number of the FMA mem- bers have been involved in the construction of Habitat homes for 15 years. Their work con- sists of 10 six- to seven-hour workdays, with weekends free. Many of their members have prior building experience. However, each Habitat affiliate provides an on-site construction supervisor who is instrumental in ensuring that plans and local building codes are followed. These dedicated team of vol- unteers not only serve on Habitat projects in the United States, but also in Canada as well. The volunteers who are not compensated are responsi- ble for their own personal tools, work gloves and construction tools. and work boots. They also provide their own meals. The association members are supportive of Habitat for Humanity. To learn more about this dynamic team of volunteers or to become a part of their team, visit their Web sites at www.fmca-hfh.com.

Robbery suspects plea 'not guilty' Special to the News-Sun Just as the "young guns," those drivers that are only in their late teens and early 20's, dominate the NASCAR races these days, it is the kids that dominate the Legends cars as well. One looks at Kurt Busch, the current Nextel champion, and his teenage brother, Kyle, and wonders, how did they get to be so good at such a young age? The answer is because 6f years of experience racing in series - such as the Legends cars. This weekend's two classes of racers, Bandoleros and Legends, will be mainly kids who have to wait several years before they will be old enough to drive to the track. Just because they are young does not mean that they aren't good nor that they do not have years of experience. Last year's Rotary Legends Challenge winner Patrick Conrad is a perfect example of' the talent and experience on the race track today. Starting in Quarter Midgets, then Go-Karts, followed by Legends, he already had 10 years of racing experience before he was 15 years of age and the Rotary Legends cham- pion. Since winning the Florida Pro Division Championship last year, Conrad has moved on to a Late Model Stock car and has had an audition in a Roush Racing Craftsman Truck and he is only 16 years old. One of the keys to this suc- cess 'is the family support. Walk through the pits week after week and you will see dads and sons working side by side while mom runs errands and keeps the team together. Legends racing truly is a family sport. As for the Masters, the guys over 40 years old, they general- ly aren't leading the race, but they have just as much fun driv- ing the car deep into the comer and trying to beat each other and get a top 5 or top 10 finish. For most of the Masters, it too is a family outing. Racing the Rotary Legends Challenge Race this weekend will be Jimmy Rodriguez who frequently has his wife and kids helping in the pits in between races. As the "young guns" run up front, keep one eye on the races further back in the field, as the Masters race for a good finish and remember it truly is a team sport and the team is called family. The Rotary Legends Challenge is Saturday and Sunday. Qualifying starts at 6 p.m. Saturday with racing at 7. Sunday the action gets started at 2 p.m.. Saturday come see some of the cars that will be racing and meet the drivers at Duffer's Sports "Grill in Sebring and Checkers Drive-In in Avon Park. view through Commissioners turn dirt SEBRING At 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, county commissioners turned over the soil at Windy Point boat ramp on Lake Istokpoga for a new boating and fishing park. When finished, the 38-acre site will have two 20-foot-wide ramps with increased parking for boaters and their trailers. County commissioners hope this will help accommodate some of the fishing tourna- ments that frequent Lake Istokpoga. The county has con- tracted with KDL Construction Inc. to include parking spaces for about 100 boats and vehi- cles, restrooms, a picnic area, fishing pond, vegetation buffers and improved access to the lake. The total cost of the project is $1.3 million. The county has grants that will bring the coun- ty cost down to $685,000. Commissioners approved $300,000 from recreation. All four held- without bail By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING Four men accused of the Jan. 7 Avon Park SouthTrust Bank robbers pled not guilty in felony circuit court Monday. Samuel Etheredge, 16, Stepfone Vadle Buckle Jr., 16, Ednol Antonio Hanna 1i, 17, and Robert Lee Vann, 17, have each been charged as a princi- ,p.l in an armed robbery with a firearm (grand theft) and face charges of burglary of a con- veyance and grand theft of a motor vehicle. In addition to that, they carry enhanced charges under Florida's "10-20-Life" law, except for Etheredge, who was not placed in possession of a gun. the armed robbery charges carry no bond. Each of the other two felonies carry a bond of $1,000 each. In court, shortly after 8:30 a.m. Monday, they pled not guilty, were offered the services of the public defend- er's office and denied bail by Circuit Court Judge Olin Shinholser. So far, the defendants haven't cooperated with inves- tigators, said Assistant State Attorney Joan Hughes. Any statements are pending meet- ings with their attorneys. Each of the defendants have been ordered to submit to DNA and fingerprint tests. Until their trials, they will be held in the Highlands County Jail. They have a status conference in late March. Vann hails from Rivera Beach in Palm Beach County. The other three hail from West Palm Beach. The four men are allegedly connected with the "Knotty.

This year, the festivities will be done in a new location, at Duffer's Sports Grille, 6940 U.S. 27 North. "We had a good first event down at the American Legion Hall in Lake Placid last year but Duffer's is on the east side of the road and that should make it easier for the northbound riders to get in and out," said HRA President Lane Bradford. He estimated there might have been as many as 1,000 rid- ers who stopped by their inau- gural effort last year and said he hoped for more this. time around. In addition to the burgers, wings and pizza that will be available for the hungry riders on their way to the East coast, Bradford has set up a battle of the bands. At stake is a slot at the upcoming Run to the Heartland Sept. 30 to Oct. 1. "The intent is to have the bands that were interested in playing then do a set or two at this event," he said. Among those set to perform., are Quickfire, Ed Barnaby and Off the Cuff. Bradford said the original event drew mixed reviews for some of the entertainment. While some of the groups put on a good show, the organizers said they had been less than pleased with some of the other performers. "There's going to be some major improvement this year," he said. "People will have a chance to vote on the bands they like Saturday." In addition to the food and music, Bradford said there would be a number of vendors set up behind the sports grille and a membership drive. "We'll have a leather shop there and some other things," he said. "I think the Wredes will be there, with their eagle. That was a big hit at the Circle last year. While the HRA volunteers will be providing a service for their two-wheeled friends, Bradford said he hoped to use the event to let people know that they will be having their motorcycle rally again this year in downtown Sebring. The pit stop is co-sponsored by the HRA and Duffer's Sports Grille from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. NAVY Continued from 1A Scientists conducted studies at Vieques range and found heavy metals in the crabs, fish, and people of the island. Mercury levels, for example, werp,, higher than the Environmental Protection Agency allows, in 33 percent of those tested. According to a report by Smithsonian in January 2004, the EPA has cited the Navy 102 times for water quality viola- tions on Vieques. The Navy dis- putes these links and its own study showed that explosives- related pollutants could not make their way to civilian areas eight miles west of the island bombing range. Avon Park Right now, the Navy is look- ing at replacement bombing sites at the Avon Park range. One at the northern border is called Fox-trot. One in the cen- ter is called Alpha; at the south edge is Echo. Range Commander Lt. Col. Franklin "Stamp" Walden said the Air Force is cooperating with the Navy to provide infor- mation. "Our job is to provide data (to the Navy)," he said. "They'll analyze it." Water The Navy's environmental impact statement looked at how much ground water damage could happen in 10 years from bombing, cannon fire and small-arms fire on the range. It said concentration for high explosive residue would not exceed standards for surface water set by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. One type of high explosive residue called RDX a car- cinogen might leach into the groundwater at levels high enough to warrant clean-up. The Navy said there is no drink- ing water standard for it, though. In a worst case scenario, nei- ther aluminum, chromium, nor nickel would leach at levels higher than allowed, the Navy said. Aluminum and chromium might exceed benchmarks for certain soil types, but the Navy calls the benchmarks, conserva- tive and suggests laboratory models may not reflect what actually happens in the field. Since ground water at bombing sites on the range is not listed or used as potable, the Navy sus- pects humans won't be affected very much. About 116-482 acres of wet- lands on the base could be impacted by displaced soil and destruction of wetland habitats when the Navy builds targets or construct roads to and from the specific bombing areas, the impact statement said. Some information for this story came from "Smithsonian Institution magazine. BARRY FOSTER/News-Sun Dr. Bill Jernigan gets a chance to sit down and sample some of his handiwork at the annual rotary Spaghetti Dinner on Wednesday night at the Highlands County Fairgrounds. Jernigan said the Rotarians served several hundred dinners. Navy hosts open house meetings Next week the Navy is plan- ning a pair of meetings to dis- cuss their Environmental Impact Study with area resi- dents concerned about plans to begin the use of live ordinance at the Avon Park Air Force Range. As a precursor, there will be an open house at the range Friday from 1-3 p.m.. It will be held in Building 77 which will be in the back of the range property, past the range fire station on Kissimmee Road and South Boulevard intersec- tion Navy representatives will be on hand as well to answer ques- tions and direct people to next week's public hearings in Avon "Park and Sebring. SEASON Continued from 1A divider than a leveler. It didn't take long for the more finan- cially advantaged homes to buy-personal computers for their children, and today many kids still enter high school without having been exposed to computers." Smith was one of the many people key to bringing the Internet to Sebring High School in the mid.'80s, . She and her husband visited 30 schools throughout the country to look at their pro- grams and learn from their experiences. "The benefit to the student has been outstanding. The majority of teachers make use of the information," she said. "It still takes a teacher to lead the student through the process; how to make choices; how to stay off the garbage. The computer itself does not teach. It is only a tool." Unintended consequences Computers turned out to be a two-way street. Not only did they bring a world of informa- tion to the students, they pro- vided an avenue of information from the classroom to school administrations and parents as well. Again, there were unexpect- ed consequences. Originally thought to be a time saver for teachers, computers have added to their work load as more and more information is expected to be posted faster and faster. "The reality is that (the computer) has become a bigger burden on the teacher. 'Why can't you tell us how many pages a student has read?' they want to know. It has really added time instead of decreas- ing it," Smith said. Smith leaves the profession still filled with hope about young people, who read as much now as ever before. But she worries about her fellow teachers who she says are feel- ing more burdened with every passing year. "I'm really concerned about the future of these people who teach. There's such an empha- sis on testing and scoring, it's placed a tremendous pressure on teachers and students." she said. "There's a lot of burn out. I wish technology could solve the problems, but it can't solve the human problems that exist. I don't want to sound nega- tive," she added, "there are some wonderful kids in school who have wonderful parents. I feel good about the positive things that have happened." Teaching art as self-expression Peggy Hogarth graduated from Drake University and started teaching art in Fairfield, Iowa, in 1966. She traveled from school to school, some of them tiny, working out of her car and the occasional closet. " She arrived in Sebring with her husband, Richard who also has just retired as the busi- ness director of.the Avon Park Correctional Institute, and began teaching art at Sebring High School in 1979. Hogarth's eyes light up when she talks about art. "The field has grown tremendously," she said, "and there are hundreds of careers in the field. "Everything we purchase was designed by someone, including its packaging. Art is a huge industry. For example, every car is carved out of clay (before it is put into produc- tion). It's the artist, not the engineer, who does that. "More important is the enrichment art brings to the lives of students -- an aware- ness making them more than just spectators. They take what isn't, and make what is. "It's the only subject where students are completely cre- ative. A child who has never been able to please a teacher, can suddenly do something right. "They become more .alive to the world visually. I hope I have created problem solvers and creative thinkers." While a performing art cred- it is required in high school, she worries that art is some- times neglected; only one ele- mentary school has an art teacher and only one middle school. Concerned about the future She also worries about her fellow teachers. She has seen changes in attitude rather than in programs. "You see cycles," she said, and right now the emphasis is on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. "The focus is on training for the FCAT. I see a lot of teachers, who have so much more to offer students, just plugging away at those FCAT skills. "There is a strong tendency from our county office, an assumption, that there is a best way of teaching. I hate to see mandates that try to make every teacher a square peg in a square hole; that discourage differences and teacher flexi- bility. How can you encourage a child to stay in school when you don't give them things they love to do?" She counts herself fortunate that the Sunshine State tjandards in art are loose and open to interpretation. Hogarth is optimistic, how- ever. "I have absolute faith in the future," she said forcefully. "I think we in this county still have a very caring family unit behind most of our students. Parents still take an interest and it shows in their children." She paused and then smiled, "I learned not to judge teenagers by what they looked like. I had a student with hair down the middle of his back, earrings to his shoulders, wear- ing studded leather. He told me there was a movie I should see. I was expecting him to say an action picture, but instead he said "Steel Magnolias." It's not about what they look like on the outside. I'll always love teenagers." "My tenure at Sebring High School has been wonderful; the teachers are terrific. I'm not leaving burned out or disgrun- tled, (teaching) has been an extreme pleasure for me. I have to thank the community for giving me some of the most wonderful young people to have passed through my life. I'm leaving only because I can. I've taught people how to paint for years and years; I'm going to do my own painting now." RANGE Continued from 1A the lead on using background standards to measure relative damage to the soil and environ- ment. This, in turn, helps clear sites off the cleanup list. Walden said that move with- in the EPA gets closed sites reopened so the Air Force can start using them again. Otherwise, the sites are federal- CULINARY Continued from 1A At last year's competition, for instance, they picked a design for an edible center- piece. Hollenberg said com- pared to the competition it was not the fanciest, but its simplic- ity caught the eye of the judges. "I was listening to the chefs and they said 'This is so perfect for us, because we have to do 1,000 tables at a time and we have to get those centerpieces done in a hurry,' she said. One of the chef/judges later came and spoke to the class. He arrived with an assortment of fruits and vegetables to demon- strate cutting and placing tech- niques. "It was so exciting to have a chef from Universal Studios here and by the end the kids were busy practicing and cut- ting," she said. The culinary class is plan- ning to hone their skills on some of the high school educa- tors by providing a faculty din- ner next Thursday. "This is both the culinary class and the basic class," she ly held unused vacant lots. As landowner, the Air Force has the responsibility to clean up contaminated areas, said Range Commander Lt. Col. Franklin "Stamp" Walden. Many of those areas date back to World War II. Cleanup proj- ects for fiscal year 2005 under the restoration program, which includes remedial design work, remedial construction, or long- term monitoring, adds up to $1 million. said. The idea will be to transform the classroom into a facsimile of a restaurant aboard a cruise ship. Hollenberg said she was- n't certain whether it would be a set menu or a buffet. "We did a buffet last time which was nicer, because peo- ple could try a little bit of everything we made," she said. The students will serve as the maitre d', chefs, drink hostesses - even dishwashers and dryers for the event. "They all have job titles," she said. Hollenberg said as much as anything it has been time con- straints that have kept her from doing a formal dinner. "Teachers have 30-40 min- utes. Otherwise we could do salad bar, dinner and dessert," she said. Some of Hollenberg's teach- ing already is bearing fruit. One of her former students, Sergio Guadelupe got a job at Chicanes in Sebring after grad- uating from Johnson & Wales. "There are some others that have been accepted at other culinary colleges as well," she said. )A Star Realty Services, Inc.

PAGE 9A + FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 NEWS-SUN + SEBRING, FLA. Off the Cuff plays for cancer benefit By ROMONA WASHINGTON Executive Editor SEBRING B y day one is an auto mechan- ic, one installs screen enclo- sures, one works in golf course maintenance and the other is a chef. By night they make up Off The Cuff, one of Sebring's hottest bands. And on March 11, Off The Cuff will be doing one of the gigs they love the most helping bring awareness to the American Cancer Society. Some of the band members learned to love music because of a parent's involvement, one is schooled, the other is self-taught. For the last three years, the band has been making its love of music work for different charities by putting on fund-raising concerts. Of course, the musicians also work their regular gigs, like March 4 and 5, when they play at The Why Not Lounge. Ray "Speedy" Gonzalez, one of the lead singers, described the band as a "giving" band. "We do the gigs, but we love an opportunity to help also," he said. The band recently helped raise $116,000 for the American Cancer Society in Polk County. They have also played for non-paying groups that just make the band feel good for doing a good deed like Kids Night Out at Fred Wild Elementary School and for the residents of Crown Pointe. Gonzalez grew up in Brooklyn and moved to Sebring in 1994. His father was a percussionist and once played with Ricky Ricardo. His brother plays in a band that opened recently for rock- er John Fogerty. In fact, it was Speedy's brother who designed the band's logo a charac- ture dressed in stripes and handcuffed. "It means don't be a prisoner of your- self. No hatred, no lies, just be your- self," Ray Gonzalez said. Flor Gonzalez, who is not related to Ray Gonzalez, grew up in Chicago. He moved to Sebring in 1999. He is anoth- er of the lead singers in Off The Cuff and is a self-taught bass player. Gary "G-Dog" Gibbs moved to Sebring in the 1970s from Monroe County, La. He is a schooled drummer. His father played in various bands, one of them for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Rounding out the band, Kevin Fisher plays rhythm and lead guitar. Fisher, the shy one, is self-taught and moved here in 2000 from Oxford, England. "We all have a lot of flavor. It's a good combination," Ray Gonzalez said. In the three years the band has been together, they have played a wide vari- ety of music Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ozzy Osbourne, Lenny Kravitz, Sugar Ray, Chuck Berry, 3 Doors Down, Deep Purple, Uncle Kracker, Wild Cherry, Eric Clapton, AC/DC, Los Lonely Boys, Bob Marley, Shaggy, Led Zeppelin, Lynard Skynard and Buddy Guy. "We play a little bit of the old and lit- tle bit of the new. We play a bit of everything," Gonzalez said. "We are a people's band. They used to call us the party masters because we can play such a variety. If you hear something you don't like, by the time you turn around to leave you'll hear something you will like." Most importantly, Gonzalez said the band is proud of his patriotism. The recently wrote a song, "Free," for the troops. "The troops are over there dying for our freedom. I would gladly give my life for any one of our troop members over there for an 18-year-old over there," said the veteran who served in 1979 when Iran took American hostages. The band does travel some on the weekends, but is open for birthday par- ties, anniversaries, geat-oeeihers jnid charitable events. To book the band, call 414-2040 or 214-6780.

Lead router being introduced by Coldwell Banker Highlands Properties Real estate inquiries answered quicker SEBRING One of the changing trends in the real estate business has been the increase in speed at which con- sumers ate expecting informa- tion to be provided about prop- erties that are for sale. Surveys conducted by the National Association of Realtors have demonstrated that nearly 75 percent of today's home buyers begin their search for properties using the Internet. However, nearly 50 percent of those inquiries go unanswered for more than 48 hours. The solution to this dilemma is being introduced in the Highlands County market- place by Coldwell Banker Highlands Properties, a tech- nology tool known as lead router. It will enable consumers who find properties that they are interested in to make an inquiry online and that inquiry will be transmitted directly to a Coldwell Banker Sales Like No Other q', QIMELOT BRIDAL - d ,ea, /Jewelers 215 North Main Ave Lake Placid (863) 699-5560 Associate's cell phone so that truly is a win, win, win for our they can follow up within min- sellers, buyers and associates." utes instead of days.

The council decided the workshop was not needed but stuck with its two regular meetings. A little more than a year ago, the council's work load inexplicably dimin- ished. The first monthly council meeting rarely lasted beyond a few hours, and frequently the second was can- celed for lack of business to conduct. At that time, the council decided to adopt a schedule of meeting once a month. In recent months, the council's work load has been picking up. Meetings that begin at 5:30 in the afternoon are running until 10 and later. Most people would have a difficult time ending a working day only to face another four to five hours of work. That's a problem for the council members, too. As the meetings drag into the night, council members com- plain of being tired and show exasperation when trying to concentrate on the issues before them. That's understandable, and yet they were elected, and are being paid to do the public's work. The public should be able to have the confidence that the council's deci- sions are being made thoughtfully and wisely, and not haphazardly by tired people who are yearning to go home. The length of the meetings is a burden for the public, too. Citizens who have only a few minutes of business to conduct may find themselves waiting three hours or more. For elderly people or business people who have work the next day, that wait becomes a hardship. When meetings become so long that they are a misery for the council and the citizens they are serving, then the solution is simple: It's time for the council to go back to its former schedule of meeting twice a month.

News-Sun. Friday. Febrry ?" 2005()() EDITORIALS/OPI N IONS i r * S * e ow "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Conten t Available from Commercial News Providers" -% "~w- -,q AWOM A 7T~ Are credit cards companies right Editor: Recently prosecutors in San Francisco were investigating a large bank for stealing from its credit card customers. The prosecutor was told that only the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency can prosecute nation- al banks, the state has no juris- diction. That is news to the lawyers. All 50 state attorneys general apparently disagree with that claim. Does the Bush administration favor state's rights or not? The Better Business Bureau says that complaints about credit card companies, which are banks, have now topped all other consumer complaints. That ought to get someone's attention. Since the comptroller denies that state attorneys gen- eral or county prosecutors can prosecute a bank, you might think the comptroller has some prosecution planned, Apparently not. The Bush administration's comptroller of the currency is Julie Williams. She claims to have resolved the matter the San Francisco prosecutor was concerned about to everyone's satisfaction. The only purpose of her claim that no state can prosecute a bank is to make sure that no bank is ever held accountable for anything. This information is on a recently PBS "Frontline" pro- gram with the harmless title "History of the Credit Card." It is available online at www.pbs.org. wgbh/pages/front line. We learn that the law puts no upper limit on late fees, which used to be as low as $5. Historically, Americ'ans have been protected by usury laws but credit card companies have evaded them by locating states which have none., As "Frontline" points out, most consumers have no idea what federal agency is sup- posed to protect them in deal- ing with credit card companies. They list five federal agencies that might be involved. Why not list the relevant agency on credit card bills? Is someone afraid that might work? Dale L. Gillis Sebring Never forget the Iwo Jima battle Editor: This month there have been many reports, articles and fea- tures on TV and in print about the Battle of Iwo Jima, which -was 60 years ago this month, including a very good, though short, piece on NBC Nightly News on Feb. 21. One of the smallest pieces of' land, a very small island of vol- canic rock about 2 1/2 by 5 1/2 miles in the Pacific Ocean 660 miles south of Tokyo, Japan, it was, also the most expensive with about 6,000 Marines killed in that battle. Through the years, many stories, a few movies and a few songs have been written about that major World War II battle. One of the most recognizable pictures to be found anywhere is the great still picture of that flag-raising by Joe Rosenthal, a news photographer. Six men (five Marines and one Navy man) raised that flag. There was a country song many years ago which said, in part, "When the Yanks raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle, through the blood and tears they won through. Bless the heart of each Yankee there on Iwo Jima Isle resting neathh a blanket of blue." Of the six men who raised that flag, the Navy man and two Marines came home. One of the Marines, Sgt. Ira Hayes, was a Pima Indian from Arizona, who lived a very hard life back home arid did not live to be an old man. None of the reports that I have seen or read mentioned the fact that this Marine was the subject of "The Ballad 'df tM Hayes," a song, written by one P. LaFarge and was recorded on March 5, 1964, by the great Johnny Cash. A lot of true history in that ballad: "Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore. Not the whiskey- drinking Indian or 'the Marine that went to war." That battle in February 1945, just like the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941 and the ter- rorist attack on our own coun- try in September 2001, must never be forgotten. A.W. "Spizz" Pollard Sebring Find the good around us Editor: It seems to me many people complain about many different things, but I wanted to spread a little positive attitude around. I just spent 10 days in the local Highlands Regional Medical Center and let me tell you, I couldn't have been in a better place for the wonderful recovery I experienced. I had two great doctors, Dr. Ike Lee and Dr. Bhatt, a lung specialist. Then came all the nursing staff, respiratory, x-ray, emergency room and many other deliartments too numer- ous to mention. But a big thank you from me to all of you folks at the hospital. That certainly includes the kitchen help and food service. I do not have one complaint on the food that was served to me. There were times I didn't eat but not because it wasn't good, I wasn't hungry. We all need to start finding the good around us and -not always the bad. All the staff work very hard to keep the patients happy and to get them well. So let's all be more thank- ful for the wonderful people we come in contact with from day to day. Lions' Candy Day was success Editor: The Sebring Breakfast Lions Club would like to thank Wal- Mart and their customers for making Candy Day a success this past January. "Our job as Lions, is to find ways to secure funds for hear- ing, sight testing, glasses and other needs in the community," said Lions President Branch Ryan. "I'm very pleased with the outcome." "You're helping us help you." Darlene Lewis Lake Placid The writer is a member of the Lions Club in Lake Placid.

GARRISON KEILLOR, author, humorist, 1990 How does the idea of live bombing at the Avon Park Bomb range concern me? Our terrorist enemies have chosen to strap explosives to their bodies and commit sui- cide to murder women and children. They hijack our airliners and fly them into buildings to kill thousands of innocent Americans. They kidnap Americans and cut their heads off. They are plotting to use chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons to kill mil- lions of innocent Americans. These people are ruthless killers dedicated to.the destruc- tion of our country and our way of life. We need well trained airmen to defend us and take the fight to our enemy. I read in the News-Sun that people who have purchased land near an active bombing range that existed decades before, they purchased their property have had their win- dows rattled. Duh ... what a surprise! Then I read that the use of the .bombing range may stop our northern guests from com- ing. Have you driven on'U.S. 27 or tried to park at Wal-Mart lately? I read that the use of the bombing range could stop the rush to mimic Broward County envisioned by the developers and fast buck artists. Baloney! While I am not a self-pro- claimed real estate expert and ex-mayor from Ohio, I, have been, a Florida 'resident for more than 50 years and have seen the cost of real estate dou- ble locally in less than 10.years. Then, of course, there are those concerned about a 2,000 pounder coming through their bedroom window. Military air- craft have been flying missions around here for more than 50 years without a major incident to civilians, although it is possi- - ble. No one is asking the citizens of Highlands County to pick up a rifle and defend their coun- try. Our military is asking to increase the use of the Avon Park range, mostly in Polk County, to train our airmen (OUR Air Force and Navy) to defend us. I doubt that they really have to ask; they are try- ing to be good neighbors. We should roll out the red carpet and welcome them. Every time I see an F-16 or F-18 headed towards the range I look up, smile and wish I were up there with them. Every time I hear a sonic boom or the distant sound of an. afterburner kicking in, I smile because that is the sound of freedom. However, freedom is not free it has a cost. R.K.

Class 1A State Wrestling Finals Germaine only Blue Streak still standing McCreary, McGovern both eliminated on first day ... By SCOTr DRESSEL Sports Editor LAKELAND There's no substitute for first- hand experience. Just ask Blake Germaine. Sebring's 145-pound senior almost lost to David Deaton of Panama City-Bay in the first round of last year's state finals, nearly getting pinned twice before rallying in the final period .to win on the way to a runner-up finish at 140 pounds. When the two met again Thursday in the open- ing round of this year's state finals at the Lakeland Center, there wasn't nearly as much drama as Germaine controlled the match from the start for an 11-5 victory. Wrestling Deaton last year was a big help this time around, Germaine said. "I knew exactly what he was trying to do from the bottom and I didn't let him get it," he said. "As soon as I got in a little bit of trouble, I let him go and got back up on my feet. I didn't want to risk getting turned from the bottom." Deaton gave Germaine three points by mistak- ing a whistle on a nearby mat for one from his match's referee. The first time it happened, Deaton got up and walked back to the center of the mat, allowing Germaine to get a takedown and two points to help him build a 7-2 lead after two periods. "He thought it was another whistle and he stopped," Germaine said. "The.ref said, 'Keep going,' and I was like, 'OK, his back's turned, but I'm going to keep going.' Oh well, it's a free takedown." Deaton managed to get the match to 7-4 before Germaine scored two takedowns late in the final period to seal the win. Germaine (45-2) will face Marvin Johnson (43-3) of Zephyrhills a 5-4 winner over Jehud Presume of Fort Lauderdale- Cardinal Gibbons in the quarterfinals this morning. A win would put Germaine into a tie for the season victories record that Joe Stump set last season. It was a short state meet for the other two Sebring seniors who qualified, as both Dillon McGovern and Brian McCreary lost two matches on Thursday. McGovern's opening match against Carlos Friger of Miami-Archbishop Carrol in the 160- pound bracket ended strangely when McGovern See STATE, Page 4B SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Unlike last year, Sebring's Blake Germaine (top) didn't have any trouble beating Panama City-Bay's David Deaton in the opening round of state on Thursday. Class 4A Boys Basketball State Playoffs Spartans stop Streaks BY CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer SEBRING After three quarters of momentum swings, St. Petersburg Lakewood final- ly kept the Blue Streaks from rallying. After watching leads of 8-0 and 22-10 dwindle to a 37-36 advantage late in the third quarter, the. No. 4 Spartans n.,.scored the lit eight, points ,of ;' the period'afid role'thfit run to a 56-45 win at No. 8 Sebring in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. "I think right before half we had an 11-point lead and felt comfortable with that, and we look up and we're coming into halftime up by four," Lakewood head coach Dan Wright said. "And the game kind of stayed that way until, we made that switch with (Sean) Morrison kewood on their big guy, and the game 5 kind of changed Sebring a little bit after M5 that" 4 While the Spartans (28-2) had held Sebring's starting frontline, all' seniors, to three total points midway through the third quarter, foul trouble persuaded Wright to try the 6- foot-3 senior Morrison down low, and the move paid off. "We switched Morrison to their post men on the inside, which allowed for him to actu- ally rebound the ball and start our fast break," he said. "Once we did that I think we scored three consecutive times and went up by nine." Sebring head coach Princeton Harris lamented his team's inability to deliver to posts Kevin Dixon and Joseph Aaron against the Lakewood press. "If we could have estab- lished that, we could have done a lot of what we wanted to do," he said. "We just didn't SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Sebring's Weston Brooks launches a shot in a crowd of St. Petersburg Lakewood defenders Thursday night. get (Kevin) the 'ball. Joe, we just didn't get Joe the ball. They were applying a lot of pressure, so it was up to our guards to try and penetrate and get a dish-out or something." Nonetheless, the coach praised the effort of his 22-6 club which at one point won 11 straight this season and in particular its seniors. One of those upperclassmen, Greg Perry, was the focal point of the Sebring attack for most of the game, and scored all of his game-high 16 points'in the first three quarters. "Greg does a heck of a job for us," Harris said. "He's been See STOP, Page 4B ON THE FRONT ROW John Bedell Remember the Tigers High school sports in Highlands County these days means Avon Park, Sebring, Lake Placid and private schools Walker Memorial Academy and Heartland Christian. One other name deserves mention with these schools - the Tigers of E.O. Douglas High School in Sebring. In the segregated days of our county, E.O. Douglas was the high school for African-American students. The Tigers had some great baseball teams. They won a state championship and they had a future major league all- star in Harold (Hal) McRae. Of course, they also played football and basketball. One athlete on those teams was Frank Lyons, Avon Park High School dean of students. Lyons said he has spoken to some classes this month as part of Black History Month. "For our seniors, this (segre- gation) was more than 20 years before they were born. They find it hard to believe that at that time the town had just two races, black and white," he said. "Today we also have Asian-Americans and Latin-Americans. "Kids usually ask 'Were you mad or upset about how things were?' "That is just the way it was. You had no alternative."

The MC 12s will be fielded by AF Corse with support from Risi Competizione. The cars will run in the GT1 division with Aston Martin, Corvette, Ferrari and Saleen. By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING It's the rumor that has been causing specula- tion throughout the sportscar world for months, now it is con- firmed the Italian trident will be racing at historic Sebring International Raceway in March. Officials of the International Motor Sports Association have announced they have invited Maserati to enter the MC 12 in the American Le Mans Series. It will debut at the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring, and company officials report they plan to field the car for the full ALMS schedule. The last time a Maserati won at Sebring was in 1957, when world champion Juan Fangio drove it to victory. In fact, Maserati is the only foreign make to win both the Sebring 12 Hours and the Indianapolis 500. The entry of the Maserati in the GTI division with the Aston Martin, Corvette, Ferrari anc Saleen may make the Sebring challenge one of the most excit- ing in recent years. The addition of the Maserati does not come without some controversy. Under current rules, cars that wish to run in the ALMS must be homogulat- ed that is a process by which a race car is derived from the street version of the model through a set of technical rules See HOURS, Page 4B Leon Tolar tournament slated for Lake Placid LAKE PLACID The Fishing Tournament Committee for the Downtown Breakfast Kiwanis Club has se the date and location for the 21st Annual Leon Tolar Fishing Tournament.

Senior Softball Cole's big bat paves way to big victory Special to the News-Sun LAKE PLACID Gene Cole, the power hitting short- stop for Lake Placid Marine, is quite familiar with roundtrip- pers. Twice a week he makes the 300-mile roundtrip drive to his job as a captain with the Miami-Dade Fire Department. On Monday, Cole smashed two roundtrippers on the ball- field to help power Lake Placid Marine (5-7) to a 20-16 win over Advanced Mobilehome Systems (5-7). Bob Sheets added four hits for the Mariners. Roger Soriano and Ed Engler had four hits to pace AMS, while Buck Gadd smashed a grandslam homerun in the losing effort. On Wednesday, Cole was at it again, this time hitting for the cycle and driving in eight runs as the Mariners toppled Seminole Tire (8-4) 19-18. Rudy Mesa also homered for LPM. , Dorin Quigg, Jim Morgan, and Lucky Lespier had three hits each for the 'Noles, who fell out of a first-place tie with Central Security with the loss. Quigg and Glenn Minnick homered. For Lake Placid Marine it was 'their fifth win in the last seven games after starting the season with.five straight losses. Cole's job never ends. When he is not at the fire station, he applies his EMS knowledge to patching up injured players at the Lake June Ballpark in Lake Placid. Meanwhile, Central Security (9-3) rode the hot pitching arm of crafty George Quay into sole possession of first place with a 19-12 victory over Seminole Tire. Central Security owner Dana Hurlburt did his company proud with four hits, including three doubles. . Jim Quartier and Cal Bready added three, hits apiece. Jim Morgan (two doubles, triple), Glenn Minnick and Harland Newby each had three hits for the 'Noles. Billy Thompson added a homerun.

Scoring five runs on six hits was plenty enough to pick up the first win of the season for the Devils, dropping the Lake Region Thunder 5-1 at Head Field in the second round of the Bill Jarrett Ford Early Bird Tournament. "We got more runs and more hits in this one game than we did in all the others," head coach Mort Jackson joked, referring to Tuesday's opener and two preseason games. "It's just what I've been preaching to these guys: Play good defense and get good pitching and you don't have to be a great hitting team. You just gotta put things together and do what your sup- posed to do, and that's what makes the difference." Sophomore left-hander Johnny Sedlock produced with- out a doubt the best pitching performance of the tournament so far, going all seven innings, striking out 11 while walking none. "I'm going to tell you, when Johnny pitches or Robert (Lewis) pitches, we're gonna have a chance," Jackson added. "And it helps out, no doubt. We play better defense, don't make as many mistakes and there's no question that it helps." After falling behind 1-0 in the second inning, Avon Park finally got things rolling in the fifth. Luke Sedlock started things off with a one out double and then came in to score when Lee Albritton reached on an error. One inning later, Devarius Strange came around to score his first of two runs when he led HOURS Continued from 1B and specifications. "The Maserati does not com- pletely comply with the Automobile Club de l'Quest requirements, and as such, has not yet been homologated for competition under ACO regula- tions," said IMSA Chief Operating Offices Tim Mayer. "IMSA will bear the final responsibility to regulate the performance of the car in the interest of ALMS competition, such that the race car operates within the accepted perform- ance envelope of cars within the GT' category." The Maserati MC 12 is longer than the road version of the car, which was allowed to participate in the European FIA GT Championship last year after amalgamation of the rules. Until the rules questions are resolved, Maserati will be per, mitted to race, but not to score championship points, but it will not keep them off the podium if they finish in the top three. The car will be fielded by RF Corse and will be supported by longtime Sebring favorite Risi Competizione. A second car reportedly could be added later STATE Continued from 1B basically pinned himself in the third period. McGovern (25-8) was trail- ing 7-0 when he got into what seemed to be a good position on Friger, but things quickly changed as McGovern turned a little too far backward, getting his own shoulders on the mat and the referee signaled a pin despite the fact Friger didn't have control of McGovernm. "I had him in a tilt and I looked up at his shoulders and he was posted up on his head, so I was thinking maybe I could scoot back and flatten out his shoulders and I guess I flat- tened out my shoulders and the ref called pin," McGovern said. "I was hearing him count off with a booted grounder and was followed by a Lewis single to left. Two batters later, Matt Devlin chased home Billy Dobson with a bases-loaded walk. Avon Park's final two runs came in the top of the seventh when Strange ripped a triple to center and scampered home on a Johnny Sedlock single. Jackson then decided to impro- vise with a suicide squeeze with the bases loaded, scoring Sedlock on a Lewis bunt. With tonight's showdown against Sebring on the horizon, Jackson agreed there was no better time for a win. "It was a confidence thing," Jackson said. "They've been beaten three times in a row and it really doesn't matter that you play everybody cause you're still getting beat. And, you know, this was huge. This will be huge for us, give us a little confidence going into the biggest rival game of the year for us tonight and just looking forward to it. "It wasn't .stellar, it wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen. But compared to the pre- vious three that I've seen that was awesome." Sebastian River 2 * Sebring 0 Rudy Levocz probably shouldn't play the lottery any- time soon. Only a one-hit shutout could outshine the junior right-hander Thursday night after he went seven strong innings for Sebring, striking out two and allowing just two runs. But as luck would have it, Sebastian River's Chad Smith did throw a one-hit shutout in the second part of the Early Bird double-header in a 2-0 win in the season. The introduction of the Maserati has been termed "a major coup" for the ALMS. "We expect that our fans, competitors and event promot- ers will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this extremely exciting and competitive new ALMS race car entry," said ALMS President 'and CEO Scott Atherton. Officials from Maserati were equally pleased. "Maserati Corse is pleased to have the opportunity to display our car in front of audiences in North America. This is the most important sales market for Maserati, so this development is very important for our sales and marketing efforts as well," said Claudio Berro, Maserati Corse director. Sebring International Raceway President Tres Stephenson was all smiles at the Maserati news. "We're excited all right, this just adds to the overall quality of the field it's going to be one heck of a race," he said. As to the entry list, Stephenson said he is getting updates daily. "That's our number one request 'Where's the entry list?' he said. back points (for me) and then I heard him slap the floor. I guess that's the way it goes some- times." iMcGovern fell to Lecanto's Mike Musto, 8-4, in the first round of the wrestlebacks Thursday night. McCreary (135 pounds) said it wasn't nerves that got him in trouble as he was pinned Andy Milburn of Green Cove Springs-Clay in the first round. "I don't think I was nervous at all, I just think I was a little unprepared for the guy," McCreary (29-11) said. "I did- n't get in my stance or any- thing. I didn't have time to react. He was just a lot more prepared than I was." McCreary fell to T.J. Strunk of North Palm Beach-Benjamin in the wrestlebacks. SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Johnny Sedlock struck out 11 and walked none in a complete-game win for Avon Park in the Early Bird Tournament on Thursday. over Sebring. "We told Rudy we're looking for a starting pitcher, you know, and we found one tonight," head coach Hoppy Rewis. "We played great defense, we just , (were) not putting the ball in play tonight." "I was just thinking, 'Keep doing the same things, don't let them score any runs,' Levocz said. "We just needed to score some and I know we've got the team to do it. I pitched as good as I can, (Smith) just pitched better than I did." Sebring's only hit came in the bottom of the sixth inning when Kiko Vazquez ripped a fastball into center field for a triple. Sebastian River had already gotten on the board by that time with a run in the top of the fourth. Evan Cook led off with his second walk of the night and was driven in by an Aaron Kirtley single. Kirtley scored his team's sec- ond run in the seventh, trotting home from first on a long dou- ble to center field by Ben Scharfschwardt. Sebring's best chance to plate a few runs came in the bottom of the fifth when Chris Welborn reached on a fielder's choice and J. C. Shoop walked with two outs. However, a popout ended the inning and kept Sebring off the board. "I was happy (with the game overall)," Levocz said. "I was trying to get back at them for last year when they 10-runned us. We've got a squad though look-out for us this year." Special to the News-Sun Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Sports Foundation recently applauded Lillian Webb of Sebring and Harry Carothers of Pinellas Park as Athletes of the Year for the 2004 Florida Senior Games State Championships. They were honored for,their athletic accomplishments at,. the Games held Dec. 4-12 in The Villages. "The Florida Senior Games State Championships provide Florida's mature athletes with the ideal opportunity to partici- pate in a wide array of sports events, while promoting fitness, camaraderie and the spirit of competition," said Bush.

"My senior year was the first time I talked with white kids," he said. "There was basically no interaction. When it got dark, you were on your side of town and they were on their side. "At the movie theater, the whites were downstairs and the blacks were in the balcony. Unless your parent worked for a white family, you were not around whites at all." When asked to recall basket- ball games at E.O. Douglass, Lyons emphasized that the big sports were football and base- , ball. Basketball was "some- thing to play between those two sports." The Tigers played other black schools from Lake Wales, Palmetto and Sarasota, according to Lyons, who remembered one standout player from Lake Wales. "Stephen Hawkins played for Lake Wales and that was before it was against the rules to dunk in the warm-ups of a high school game. He dunked with two balls, one in each hand. We looked and thought 'Oh, my God!' "That intimidated every- body. He went on to play at Florida A&M University." Lyons also attended A&M on a baseball scholarship. He was a pitcher for the Tigers. STOP Continued from 1B big for me all year long." Wright believed his team wore Perry down', and that was the reason he went quiet in the fourth quarter. Yet the Lakewood coach pointed, to reserve guard A.C. Wilson, who scored 10, as a thorn in his side in the second half. Fortunately for Wright, he had his own bench step up. "Mike Buckins'came in and did a tremendous job for us," Wright said. "We had foul trou- ble early. We had to play some guys a lot of minutes that we normally don't play." Only Morrison, with 12, had more than Buckins' 10. Yet ' "We only had 11 players, but we beat a lot of teams. I was a sophomore (McRae's) senior year. We had Al Hinson and Sonny Austin. We won state that year." One figure that Tigers remember is Coach Blanding. He coached both the Tigers' football and baseball teams. Players remember the interest he took in his athletes. "Coach was almost like a parent," Lyons said. "He had a specific time that you were supposed to be in and if he saw you out or heard you were out after that time, there were con- sequences. There was a price to pay." The price helped yield some strong teams from a small school. Lyons estimated that his school had around 400 stu- dents. He remembers that 67. graduated with his class in 1965. In the fall of that year, a small group of students from E.O. Douglas went to Avon Park High School and integra- tion began. Lyons' younger brother was among them. Fortunately, brave people and time changed the customs of Highlands County and the. South. It is easy to forget those days as our youth play together now. A great athletic tradition' from E.O. Douglas deserves to be remembered and so.do the. courageous people that led us to a better way. John Bedell is a sports writer for the News-Sun. Wright is far from satisfied with his team's play of late. "We've lost that little sayvy, that little spunk that we have," he said. "I felt that we didn't really play that well. "Unfortunately, or fortunate- ly, the program has reached a. stage where, for us, it's win region or you had an unsuccess- ful season, which is really unfair to the program and the kids. But that's the expectation that the community has." Nonetheless, Wright's team completed a trifecta of playoff eliminations for Sebring at the hand of Lakewood in the last 20 days. The Streaks' boys and girls soccer teams also saw their seasons end against the Spartans. 110 US Hwy. 27N Lake Placid, FL 33852 S863-699-BIKE (2453) www.hcmotorsprts.com THE ONLY AUTHORIZED YAMAHA DEALER IN HIGHLANDS COUNTY Z .

Where once was a beautiful bone structure was now a blooded dark hole. This is what happen to the face of Carolyn Brown. This reads like something out of Hollywood doesn't it'? But it's not. This is a true story of what a happened to a woman in a vicious domestic violence relationship. I first learn about Carolyn while watching "The Insider," tele- vision program. No one could have designed such a hideous mask. Unfortunately it wasn't a mask but the face of a woman. Curious to learn more about Carolyn, I went on line and here is what I learn: On October 2003, Carolyn, who was living with her mother in Waco, Texas, at the time of her injury was shot by her ex- boyfriend, Terrence "Popeye" Kelly, who had just been released from prison. On that fateful day, Carolyn was on -the phone talking when Kelly stormed into her bedroom demanding to know who was on the phone with her. After he yanked the phone from the wall, her, mother who was somewhere else in the house heard the commotion, rushed to her daughter's aid. Kelly shot her in the stomach and killed her. Next Kelly, like a maniac held the 44 caliber to Carolyn's right temple and fired,, ripping her skin and splattered her flesh and blood all over the room. She said that as he held the gun to her face she said, "I prayed ask- ing the Lord for help." When the police arrived they saw the women laying motion- less. In a report, a police officer who came to scene thought the worsen were dead and was walking passed the lifeless looking body of Carolyn. She said God gave her the v. ill to reach out and grabbed the ankle of the offi- cer to let him know t[ji she was Ii'.i e She ,.kj r, -hed to the hospital. Carolyn's recovery is a long slow process, an uphill struggle. Terribly disfigured, and dubbed the "face of courage," she spent six months in the hospital, and was unable to speak for two months. The reconstructive surgeons will be grafting skin from her back onto her face. Bones from one of her legs will be used in the reconstruction of her,new nose. Because Carolyn's mouth is, missing she's unable to eat, she is fed through a tube which is placed in her belly. A trachea tube is what assists, her to breathe. A mask is used to cover the porthole in her face. Today, Carolyn who faces an uphill struggle to having normal facial features, has volunteered to be pho- tographed before surgery so that her face can be used for a domestic violence public service advertisement. She is such an inspiration. She said, "People look at me and think they would have wanted to die, they wouldn't have wanted to live in the condi- tion that I am in."

"Spreads, Quilts, and Curting For Sale," the makeshift sign read. "I just noticed it and decided to go in. That's when I met Ms. Dennis," McCone stated. Upon entering the home, McCone saw, draped across a couch in the living room, two U.- stunning pine cone quilts which had been handmade by Dennis; and the obsession began. "I saw those quilts laying there and my eyeballs just popped right out," McCone recalled. "I just fell in love with them," McCone said. Initially, she bought one; then she bought a second. "I was plan- ning to turn around and sell them," she. explained. "But when I got them home I just couldn't do it." Her friend, Betty Ford-Smith, of Sebring, played a part in the Betty decision not to sell. After Courkint McCone showed them to her, stress, she said that she wouldn't let project her sell them. She told McCone to not event think about it. "That's true," stated McCone. Since that time, both women have grown apprecia- tion and admiration of both the quilt maker and the quilts. McCone questioned Dennis about the type of quilt and then did research on the Internet. "I found out that these quilts were first made by African American slaves and are a big part of our heritage," McCone stated. While many people have never seen or even heard about them, the pine cone quilt (also known as the pine burr quilt or cuckleburr quilt because of the way in which the triangular folds of fabric are pieced together and placed so that a pattern develops that resembles the appearance of a pine cone when viewed from above), was designated as the official quilt of the state of Alabama in: 1997. After seeing the quilts, Ford- Smith was just dying to learn how to make them. "She just kept hounding me about it until I said, 'OK, Betty,' and took her to meet Ms. Dennis; and now she's making her own," McCone said. Initially, McCone didn't want to introduce her to Dennis because, as she put it, "This was my treasure.". But she has no regrets and is proud of the quilt her friend has almost completed after nearly two months of painstaking Linda work. front. "I believe that I will make make one too, one day," McCone ture. said. "I have the quilts, love the quilts, and love Ms. Dennis; but I just don't have the desire to make one right now like Betty does. But I'm sure that it is in my destiny and when the time is right I will." is small sign posted at the corner of Sue Dennis 'fence drew the attention da McCone, of Sebring, one day as she was driving by. Little did she kno knocked on the door to inquire within about quilts that she was about to ver a rare talent and form a lasting friendship with the 93-year-old resid since that day, McCone has visited Dennis often and has become the proi ner of a quilt which carries tremendous cultural significance to her .4fri erican heritage. The pine cone quilt is so named because of the way thai 'ement of triangular shaped folds of fabric resemble the burrs of a pine 'hen viewed from above. Pine cone quilts are a significant part of Africa erican culture and can be traced back to the days of slavery. It is not un inon for such a quilt to take as much as six months to make.

The weight of a pine cone ud quilt is incredible; so much so can that McCone has learned that I when she sleeps under it she can only do so if she lies flat on her cone back. "I slept on my side under In it at first and I swear it gave me coIn- bursitis in my shoulder because it was so heavy." Though the quilts are incredi- w bly beautiful, they are utilitarian as well and can keep a body warm on even the coldest of nights. Dennis reminisced about a time when a pine cone quilt served her well, "I remember once when I was in Brooklyn and we was bound in the house during a snow storm and we couldn't even see a crack for 18 weeks and I slept under one to keep warm." Both McCone and Ford-Smith feel that the people in the city of Sebring should recognize Dennis for what she's doing in continuing the pine cone quilt- ing tradition of their ancestors. "Somebody has to continue this and not let it die out," the ladies agreed. While Dennis has lived in Sebring since 1970, when she came to the area to visit a cousin IT and wound up, as she explained it, getting "mixed up with Robert Dennis," who later [ews-Sun became her husband. Many peo- ands ple, even in her immediate n neighborhood, have no idea am- ing about the talent she embodies or the heritage her work preserves. In all her years residing in Sebring, Dennis said, "I ain't y heard tell of nobody else makes them and I been here since S 1970." When asked whether or not Dennis recognized the talent and n the value of her quilting, she 'said that she does. Quilts such as hers can easily sell for more than'$ 1,500. Currently, there is one listed on Ebay, purported to Shave been made by a blind woman by the name of Sally Brooks sometime between 1900 and 1920. The bidding for this work of art is set to begin at $25,000. In addition to the blessing gained by McCone and Ford- Smith (as well as another com- munity-minded friend, Adamma Ibeawuchi of Sebring, who like- wise shares an interest in both Dennis and her quilts), in becoming acquainted with Dennis, the ladies feel honored to be able to lend themselves to Dennis as well. "Meeting Ms. Dennis gives her more people to come around and, help her," said Ford-Smith. "We can all only hope that we can be as strong and independent as she is when we are older. But," she contin- ued, "as they saying goes; 'It takes a whole community ...;' and sometimes it does take a group of people." Though Dennis' fingers are --i calloused and worn from all her ndsin years of pushing and pulling needles and thread, she will con- cul- tinue to do so for as long as she is able, sewing bedspreads, quilts, curtains, clothes, and "everything somebody might need."

Keanu Reeves, that is, saving the Earth from demons who want to confiscate men's immortal souls, along with their real estate and their women. Based on the comic book series "Hellblazer," "Constantine" has Reeves playing the title character, John Constantine - a solitary chain-smoking man in black who does God's dirty work in the shadowy places that good folks dare not dream about. Having once committed an unpar- donable sin that will guarantee him a one- way ticket to hell someday, he is God's methodical servant, and yet he doesn't believe the Big Boss will ever give him credit for devoting his life to kicking Satan's butt. Think of him as the Exorcist with a rotten attitude. Constantine's battleground is not defined as any particular city or place, but its style is decrepit metropolitan that is equal parts Mexican and American. One can only assume it's California. When "Constantine" begins, the mythi- cal Spear of Destiny has gone missing, but not for long a homeless man discovers it in a hole under a bridge. This vital artifact will play predominantly in the war between heaven and hell God, apparently, is care- less about where he leaves his things but it will take so long to find out why the spear matters that you may lose track of it your- self before the movie gets back to it. In the meantime, Constantine gets a break from casting demons out of Mexican girls to concentrate on other urgent matters. 'CONSTANTINE' Director: Francis Lawrence Writer: Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello; based on the comic books by Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis Cast: Keanu Reeves (Constantine), Rachel Weisz (Angela/Isabel), Shia LeBeouf (Chas), Djimon Honsou (Midnite), Tilda Swinton (Gabriel), Gavin Rossdale (Balthazar) and Peter Stormare (Satan) Released by: Warner Bros. (2005) Running time: 2 hours, 1 minute Rated: R for violence and demonic images Now Playing: Carmike Cinema 8 in Lakeshore Mall, Sebring; 471-1179 One is that he's dying of lung cancer - thanks to the chain-smoking habit that makes him look so cool. The other is that the balance between heaven and hell has been altered, and demons are expanding their turf. Since God has seen fit to smite Constantine with a fatal disease, he doesn't care to go on one last demon-bashing spree. But then a pretty detective Angela (Rachel Weisz) sucks him back in when she begs him to prove that her insane twin did not commit suicide and therefore should not be denied a Catholic funeral. As should be expected, "Constantine" is sometimes grotesque, especially when the demons take on their true forms, and its brief depictions of hell are disturbing enough to give Mel Gibson an idea for his next movie. Mercifully, the action moves on quickly once the gory images have given their visceral jolt. Though melancholy in its tone, "Constantine" relieves the gloominess with deadpan humor for which Reeves is a natural and its silly pseudo-Catholic the- ology gives familiar symbols and sacra- ments a wacky mythology of their own. You will learn all about the Spear of Destiny, which empowers humans but causes cattle to drop dead at the sight of it, and the 17th chapter of "Corinthians," which only exists in a Bible in hell a let- ter St. Paul apparently scribbled to those Corinthians who didn't make it to the pearly gates. Then there's the tool Constantine uses to beat up demons when crosses, holy water and Latin incantations lose their effect: The sacred brass knuckles. Even though Keanu Reeves was born to play parts like Constantine, the supporting cast jazzes it up since most are excellent but largely unknown actors. Among them is Rachel Weisz, who brings style to a part that is beneath her; Shia LeBeouf, as Constantine's sometimes apprentice; Djimon Honsou, as the soulful, suspicious Midnight who aids Constantine sporadical- ly; art film actress Tilda Swinton as the angel Gabriel; and Peter Stormare, as a prancing, effeminate Satan. At nearly two hours, "Constantine" out-' wears its welcome, and the shoot-'em-up fallout with Satan is bombastic. Most of "Constantine" doesn't make sense, either, but that doesn't make it unendurable, espe- cially if you're in the mood for the ridicu- lous.

"The Alps" is narrated by James T. Tompkins and spon- sored by Florida Hospital Heartland Division. Mountains emerge from the Mediterranean Sea near the "Riveria of Flowers" to form the backbone of Europe. )From the gardens of Provence to the height of Zugspitze, linking the castles of Bavaria to Italy's Lake Country, Europe's Alps span the countries of Monaco, France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. ' After stopping in Monaco, the movie wanders through Grassee, takes a peak a Provence from the Citadel of Sisterone and observes locals performing music in the streets of Bellinzona, a part of the Lake Country of Italy and Switzerland. Swiss chocolate and Italian gelatto will be shown before the film moves on to the palaz- zos and promenades of Lago Maggiore and Lago Coma and explores the cobblestone shop- ping streets of Bellagio. After studying ancient pet- roglyphs at the Val Camonica, the film takes in the tasty mar- kets of Bolzano. Climbing into the Dolomites, it hikes through the pastures of the highest plateau in Europe. Riding the strada delle Dolomiti to Cortina of Ampezzo leads to a traditional celebration.

Crafts wait to be discovered in Switzerland. The film catch- es up to the shy chamois and the regal ibex. Vertical walls and waterfalls drain the gla- ciers of the Jungfrau masif, and the highest railway station in Europe stretches above the snowline. The film travels through alpine passes in cog trains and trams and hikes through the Zermatt and the Matterhorn. Europe's largest national park will be explored in Austria, where the Grossgloc k ner Hochalpenstrasse rises to Austria's highest peak. Viewers can take in the waters at some "bad" spas and peek into an underground salt mind. In the Salzkammergut, youngsters demonstrate the meaning of gemutlichkeit, before the film moves on to Salzburg, the birthplace of classical music. From there the film hops across the border to Bavaria, known for its beer, and then heads to Neuschwanstein, King Ludwig's fairy-tale cas- tle. Even in summer, winter sports take place high on Germany's Zugspitze's peak. The film will visit Lake Bled, in Slovenia, and enjoy the alpenglow of Lake Bohinj at the eastern reach of the Alps. Mont Blanc towers above all other Alps, inviting climbers and hang-gliders, bal- loonists and biplanes to dis- cover its rock walls and glacier valleys. The most famous Alp, the Matterhorn, rises not far away, its snow melting into the sce- nic Valle d' Aosta in Italy and the Rhone Valley in Switzerland: Alpine river pass- es castles and cliffs, monaster- ies and mineral springs. Railways and trams climb even the highest peaks for spectacular views. In the val- leys, church bells call the faithful, while castles rise sen- tinels at mountain passes. Tunnels burrow beneath the ancient cities, bringing salt to the surface and tourists to their train stations. Twisting high- ways tangle tongues with names like Grossglockner, Hochalpenstrasse and LaStrade delle dolomiti. French, Italian, Swiss, Bavarian, Austrian and Slovenian cultures spread out over these Alpine territories. Even Liechtenstein adds its own flavor to the region. "Imagine a child yodeling near the birthplaces of classical composers," Tompkins says, "or wonder at signs of ancient civilization." Although not an experi- enced climber, Tompkins. donned 30 pounds of camera and other gear to experience the Alps first-hand, bringing back colorful footage to share with his audiences. "There is a common friend- liness within the diversity of Alpine people," he said. Although adventure film- making is hard work, Tompkins found that in Italy's beautiful Lake Country, it's "doice far niente' it's 'sweet to do nothing'." Tickets are $7 at the door. Seats are reserved for season ticket holders. For details, call Grace Owens at 273-1421. 'H~ A~ ' BGC3 E ,dC:31NT J.C. ALVAREZ. MD.

Courtesy photo Pastor Cecil Hess will dedicate the Sebring Church of the Brethren's newly remodeled sanctuary Sunday morning. Sebring Church of the Brethren to dedicate remodeled sanctuary SEBRING On Sunday the church will have a cele- bration to mark the renova- tion of its sanctuary and the addition of a new three manu- al organ and sound system. During the morning wor- ship service, recognition will be given to individuals and firms who contributed to the rebuilding process. The pas- tor, Dr. Cecil Hess, will speak on "Let the Walls Come Tumbling Down!" Under the leadership of Bea Kiehner Sprankle, the Temple Choir will sing "Shout to the Lord." Estelle Whitmer will present a version of "I Believe," which she composed. At 5:30 p.m., a church birthday party will be in the fellowship hall. This will cel- ebrate all members of the congregation who have 89th birthdays and the birthdays of all those present. NLight will present music. All offerings for the day will be earmarked for the cost of the renovation project. The extensive remodeling project began last summer after the church was damaged by the hurricanes and by mold. The ceiling and insulation was removed in the 500-seat sanctuary. The dark-colored wood was replaced with yel- low pine. The cupola area was reinforced with new win- dows, and fans were installed to improve air circulation. A contractor was employed to complete the work, and a number of members volun- teered to paint, clean, move pews and perform other jobs. David and Craig Whitmer provided on-site supervision. An all-church picnic will be Saturday, March 5, at The Palms Estates in Lorida. ,v-- OMENT i GOD Richard yffe angry for a justifiable cause. The word "meek," meaning "weak," would hardly be an appropriate descrip- tion of John the Baptist, or of the Savior when he denounced the reli- gious leaders of his people for leading them astray, or of the Apostle Paul, whose firey darts were aimed directly at those who attacked In the Sermon on R the Mount, Jesus says: "Blessed are the meek, for they will 1 inherit the earth." (Matthew 5:5) Meekness must not .s be confused with weakness. It is unfor- tunate that the English word "meek" A M has acquired a milk- and-much connota- WITI tion, suggesting a Rev. weak and cowardly Re. person, a person who is afraid to fight for what he believes in. In our day to be labeled as "a meek little man" is a title that no one wants. But true meekness, in the scriptural sense of the term, is not weakness. Rather, accord- ing to Scripture, there are times when God calls us to speak out sharply. He wants us to defend the rights of others, to speak the truth boldly, yes, even to be self an example of kindness and long-suffering. We, as his disciples, are called to be like him. The Lord is well award of how this world thinks and operates, and he seeks to instill his contrasting spirit of true meekness and gen- tleness in us. It is his will that, prompted by the Holy Spirit, we might fight against the flesh and its selfish desires, which prompt men to push and crowd their way over other men on the abominable "road to success." Our flesh insists that if we don't fight back, using fire to fight fire or employing every dirty trick that has been used against us, we will be trampled in the dust by all the heavy heels around us. But the Lord says that not the hard-hearted and the heavy-handed, but the meek will inherit the earth. In spite of popular opinion, it is not force which determines who will ultimately receive the ben- efits of God's creation. Quite the contrary! It is the meek who will possess a remarkable inher- itance, a new heaven and a new earth. As disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ we will want to cleanse ourselves of all jeal- ousy, remove from our hearts all ill will and bitterness. We must learn to be patient, gentle and kind to all people. We need to hold before us the example of Jesus who did all things for us so that we might have forgive- ness, salvation and eternal life with him. We are to commit all our cares into his gracious hands for he has promised that he will be with us and he will deliver all that he has promised. The Rev. Richard Fyffe is a pas- tor with New Life Evangelical Lutheran Church, 3725 Hammock Road, Sebring. He can be reached at 385-2293 or 385-5793 or by e-mail at rfyffel @juno.com.
