HIGHLANDS COUNTY'S HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER SINCE 1927 5 5O0~ FRIDAY May 6, 2005 i MMOM~Z~ , 0 platoffts on the line Sports, 1B COMING SUNDAY IN THE NEWS-SUN ./ Last minute shoppers searching for that perfect Mother's Day gift put Christopher Tuffley to the test as he works at Cindy's Hallmark. WHAT'S INSIDE Police to crackdown on parking By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING Motorists who park illegally, whether it is in a fire lane or not close enough to the curb, take note. A parking crackdown is coming to Sebring. "We've always had a parking ordinance but there was little enforcement," Sebring Police Commander Steve Carr said Thursday. That is all about to change. The increase in the county's population over the last few years has put parking at a premium and that means those who are putting their vehicles in the wrong place at the wrong time now can look forward to a citation. "We're going to start by writing lots and lots of warnings, then we'll go into the enforcement stage," Carr said. The first phase of the program will be edu- cation, both for the public and for patrolmen. Motorists will learn what is and what is not See PARKING, page 7A 112 and 'living one day at a time JARRETT BAKER/News-Sun Roxene 'Granny' Riggs, 112, the oldest resident of Highlands County, smiles at a luncheon done in her honor Wednesday at Barnhill's Buffet in Sebring. Nu-Hope of Highlands County honored Riggs with lunch at the restaurant as part of Older American Month. When asked the secret to living so long, she said 'Don't drink much, don't smoke much, live one day at a time and keep your shirt tail down most of the time.'

Without God in Americai. democracy fails, they said. Without that prayer, they said, freedom will disappear. The Rev. Bill Breylinger of Union Congregational Church said people in America are citi- zens in heaven first, and blessed to live in the United States of America. "I don't think we'd trade spots with anyone else," he said. With that blessing from God, he said, comes responsibility, from an elected official invest- ed with the highest amount of power, to each citizen, to uphold how authority is treated. S"We represent this country and God Almighty," Breylinger said, "and we should know and remember who we are." The Rev. James E. Kurtz of St. Agnes Episcopal Church JARRETT BAKER/News-Sun Highlands County employees (from left) Trish Freeland, Sarah Beth Hopton, Fred Karino, Denise Williams and Jerome Kaszuhowski sing 'God Bless America' during the National Day of Prayer at the Highlands County Courthouse lawn in Sebring Thursday. said Richard Alverson, chaplain of the U.S. Senate, opened a session on Jan. 27, 1983, with a reading of the Declaration of Independence, interspersed with explanations of where power came from "the Creator, God." Kurtz also recalled when the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants played a game in 1990 and about eight football players gathered on the 40-yard line to pray. They took heat for it, and fines, but stood firm, he said. "Public prayer is a powerful witness (to God), whether in a restaurant, a meeting or a public gathering," Kurtz said. "We cel- ebrate our God-given freedom that allows us to gather today." All told, the Day of Prayer ceremony, despite overhanging and dripping rain clouds, drew a crowd of 125-150 public offi- cials, law enforcement officers and citizens. Sheriff Susan Benton opened the ceremony with prayer, followed by Sebring Mayor George Hensley leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Ninth-grader See FAITH, page 7A SFCC graduates 600-plus * More photos, page 6A Special to the News-Sun AVON PARK "You heard the voice of destiny and answered its call," said Denise Everett during South Florida Community College's Wednesday commencement. Everett, who earned her asso- ciate degree in nursing, served as keynote speaker for the cere- monies. She reminded fellow stu- dents that, "We all have a des- tiny in life, and no one can bring our destiny to us. We are the ones who have to take the steps towards fulfilling our own dreams. This is not an end but only the beginning of what tomorrow will produce. "In the course of our studies, we have not only gained an education, but we have gained a sense of belonging and the empowerment of accomplish- ing a great task. We have made new friends and adopted new mentors." She went on to urge gradu- ates to "think of one instructor who has made a positive impact in our lives. Someday, we can take that gift and make a posi- tive impact in someone else's life." Everett said in closing, "We are partly responsible for what the future will look like. We will have to leave a legacy for the next generation to follow, so embrace tomorrow with the vigor and tenacity that will make a difference for the better- ment of mankind. You have the tools in your hand. Just use them." Earlier in the evening, Dr. Norm Stephens, SFCC presi- dent, mirrored Everett's mes- sage. "We hope that you will take what you have learned and use it most wisely to improve your lives, while serving the best interests of others," he said. "We hope that you will contin- ue to learn as you experience life, and as a result of your efforts, this may be a better world." Ed Morgan, professor of chemistry, was recognized for his outstanding service to stu- dents and SFCC. Morgan retires at the end of the 2005-06 academic year. More than 600 students had met SFCC graduation require- ments by the May commence- ment. Of these, 528 received their associate in arts degrees, associate in science degrees, associate in applied science See SFCC, page 7A Transit plan caught between development and conservation By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING By 2030, Florida will be the second largest state in the union. 'When baby boomer-7 retire and can't afford to stay on the coasts, they will move inland, said Jim Baxter with the Florida Department of Transportation. Highlands County will not be a metropolitan planning organization until after the next census, at the earliest, and will take a couple of years to obtain funding. That means the county may not have enough funding to begin major transportation improve- ments until 2012. In the meantime, Highlands County officials are moving forward with a long range transportation plan being developed for the coun- ty by CH2M Hill, the Orlando-based consulting firm that is working with FDOT to develop the plan. On Wednesday, transporta- tion, development and con- servation experts reviewed the draft document. The map- showing the transportation needs by 2030 includes a large western bypass from- south of Lake Placid to north of Avon Park and an extension of County Road 635 north to State Road 64. Right of way Getting the land for these may be a problem. Mick Grosh, director of develop- ment for the Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Improvement District, said C.R. 635 requires a corridor through the district, just one road west of Cortez Boulevard. The county could run into some problems since Cortez already has houses built on the western side. The district didn't initiate development. These are lots people have held for as long as dozens of years, and now they are building. If people continue to build, that road corridor could face more problems.

By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING While this is the time of year that things begin to wind down following the annual exodus of winter res- idents, snow birds and tourists, Johanne Lauchman at Henscratch Farms is getting ready for its inaugural Blueberry Festival. Set for Saturday, May 12, Lauchman plans plenty of activities. One of the most exciting will be the first ever blueberry pie baking contest. "We're in search of our first Blueberry Pie Queen," she said. "We've got about 20 entries so far." In fact, there are only two rules. The first and most impor- tant is that the major ingredient has to be blueberries, the sec- ond is that they be baked into a pie. Entrants can get their offer- ings in as late as the Saturday morning of the festival. The day will begin early and end late for the Henscratch Farm staff who have planned activities beginning before the public begins arriving at 9 a.m. It will end after the last winery tour and tasting and final music performance at 4 p.m. When the early arrivals come in at the Henscratch Road loca- tion, the griddle will be fired up and there will be plenty of blue- berry pancakes available for the hungry. "I believe I'm going to be doing that but I also am work- ing on getting a good friend to help me out with that," Lauchman said. In addition to the blueberry pancake breakfast, those first in the gate will be greeted by a cadre of antique cars and as many as three dozen purveyors of country crafts. "We have vendors coming in from all over the state," Lauchman said. "There will be quilters, wood workers, glass painting, gourd painting this is really nice, country-style stuff." SShe said many of those set- ting up had done similar shows in the past at other wineries. There also will be a number of adult and children's blueber- ry pie eating contests through- out the day. The adults will have a go at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. while the youngsters will be able to compete at noon. "It'll be your typical pie eat- ing contest, hands behind the back and dig in," she said. There also will be a square dancing presentation. That will get under way at 11:30 a.m. Saturday with the Pine Ridge Promenaders. Those who want to taste some of Lauchman's vintings will have the opportunity as she plans to pull some corks on many different varieties. "We obtained a special license so that we will be able to serve wine all day," she said. All of Lauchman's wines are vinted on premises. The white wines are made from Scuppernong grapes and bear names like Country Sunrise, Sunset and Blush. The red wines are pressed from Muscadine grapes and are dubbed Country Red, Walk or Evening. In addition to the car shows and vendors, there will be blue- grass music all day thanks to Sandy and Larry Harbison. They play with the Fort Meade Volunteers and Sandy Harbison has invited some of the people who play monthly at the Fort Meade Jamboree to perform through the day. There will be tours all day of the winery -' the 12th in the Sunshine State. The winery is housed in a converted agricul- tural grain bin. The metal bin has been outfitted with heavy timber beams, a second floor, guest viewing area, and an out- side crushing porch. While Henscratch has always had blueberry bushes at the property, the farm expanded to 1,200 bushes last year. "They'll be able to pick both blueberries and strawberries," she said. Those who want additional information may contact Sara Earls at Henscratch Farms at 699-2060.

Lane charged with uttering forged instrument May still get deported as illegal alien By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun t SEBRING After spending a year in the Highlands County Jail on a lewd conduct charge, Noe Perez may not have to go to prison. SHe may, however, get deport- ed and labeled a sexual offend- er in the state of Florida. Last May, he was arrested in Avon Park on charges of lewd battery on a 14-year-old girl, lewd or lascivious exhibition and criminal use of personal information. The Public Defender's Office has reportedly secured a birth certificate showing his name is actually Oscar Perez Gomez, he was actually 15 at the time of the arrest, and was an illegal alien,'claiming to be 18 to.get work in the United States. Now allegedly 16, Perez plead guilty on Monday to lewd battery in exchange for a sen- tence of time served. According to the State Attorney's Office, he'll still be labeled as a sexual offender, and will get deported back to Mexico as an illegal alien. He was facing 45 years in prison and a lifetime stigma as a sex offender, despite the case involving consensual sex. On May 6, 2004, Avon Park police assisted a Department of Children and Families investi- gation and found Perez and a. mentally-challenged 14-year- old girl, according to arrest reports, clothed but lying in bed together in a darkened room. When asked for identification, police received what looked like a fake Social Security card and a fake resident alien card identifying him as Noe Perez, 18. He told investigators that was his age, the girl was his girlfriend and they'd been sexu- ally involved within the previ- ous week, reports said. He'd been living at the girl's home for approximately one month. Jose Concepcion, his former attorney now in private practice in Tampa, said Perez had to lie to get work because he wasn't old enough. Concepcion said it took the Mexican consulate four months to find the birth certificate, based on the name on Immigration and Naturalization Service docu- ments provided by the State Attorney's Office. Before handing down a sen- tence, Circuit Judge Olin Shinholser has ordered a full investigation into Perez's back- ground to determine exactly how old he is. "It's still our strong belief he's 18," said Steven Houchin, supervising prosecutor in Highlands. County. Houchin said Florida Statutes on lewd battery don't distinguish based on the age of the defendant. Case law states a minor who instigates sexual activity with another minor can be prosecuted, even if they are at or near the same age. "I think the Legislature thinks, in some instances, some (teens) are more mature than others and do prey on each other," Houchin said. Concepcion, both as a prose- cutor and a defense attorney, has always had problems with that line of case law. Essentially, he said, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled a child has no right to sexual privacy, even in sex with another child. Usually, only boys are prose- cuted. 5A' News-Sun, Friday, May 6, 2005 Lakeshore Mall to host Saturday Teen Expo JARRETT BAKER/News-Sun Senior Airman Jeff Porter speaks to one of Col. Bill Hutchison's Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps' classes on Tuesday morning. Porter discussed the HH53 Pavelow and his role as a gun- ner on the helicopter. Avon Park's Unit, FL-934, was selected as one of 200 units to receive the 2004-2005' Air Force Junior ROTC Distinguished Unit Award. The award is given to units that have performed beyond normal expectations and demonstrated outstanding service to their school and community. Avon Park JROTC earns 'Distinguished Unit' status By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun AVON PARK The unit flag for the Air Force Junior Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps soon will have a new banner, designating them as a Distinguished Unit. They are one of only 200 to earn the distinction. Col. Bill Hutchison, who oversees the unit, had been cau- tiously optimistic about earning the honor. "I had my fingers crossed for a long time," he said. "We've finished second the past four or five years and earned Excellent status but this is the first time we've gotten into the Distinguished category." Described as a "unit goal process," it involved setting objectives then obtaining them. There were six different targets, with two each in three divi- sions. Cadets were looking to grad- uate all their seniors with. at least one heading on to college and putting 10 percent of their unit on the honor roll. There were two goals for the school. The first was to increase recruitment by 10 percent and to help students gain apprecia- tion of the contributions of America's military veterans. Finally, goals for the commu- nity included the participation in at least eight community service programs and the organ- ization of a fund-raising cam- paign with an eye toward earn- ing $1,000 to donate to local charities. The report was submitted and evaluated by a number of officials ranging from the school principal to the brass at ROTC headquarters in Alabama. Hutchison said the group passed with flying colors. "All the seniors graduated and one is headed to Mississippi State University in the fall. Dwayne Quick our squadron commander this year - actually received an Air Force Junior ROTC scholar- ship," he said. They shot by their goal of 10 percent of the AFJROTC mak- ing the honor roll, putting 20 percent on that list. "Three of those were on the 4.0 or above," Hutchison said. The recruitment goal still is under evaluation. Hutchison explained that a good portion of that will take place next fall, when this year's eighth-graders graduate into the high school. The recruiting involves send- ing letters to parents, setting up a recruiting table in the cafete- ria and visiting the eighth-grade classes at the end of the year to talk about the program. Members of the corps also have been very busy interacting with different veterans organi- zations. The Avon Park AFJROTC even staged a Sept. 11 presenta- tion as part of their efforts. For fund-raising, the cadets selected a charity that has been primarily sponsored by General Tommy Franks, designed to provide aid to veterans who sustained significant injuries in the Mideast and now are return- ing home. Students donated $500 to that program and another $500 to the Avon Park Church Service Center. The money was raised through a golf tournament. The group also did service projects both for Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Highlands County together. Hutchison said now, the cadets will work harder .tt achie e back to back-awards; By BARRY FOSTER News-Sun SEBRING Lakeshore Mall will be the heart of it all for teenagers Saturday after- noon as the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Alliance will host Teen Expo 2005. "it's not the first one. We did one a long time ago after the mall first opened," said Jackie Rawlings, director of the Healthy Start program at the Highlands County Health Department. "This is the first one we have done in quite a long time." Entitled "Why Risk It?" the expo initially was put together in response to the fact that May also is National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month. "We decided this.was a way to reach a whole bunch of kids, not only about pregnancy but about a whole bunch of risky behaviors including alcohol and drug abuse as well as tobacco use," she said. Rawlings indicated there also would be emphasis put on posi- tive things that are going on in the community for teenagers to do as well. In addition to the more than 20 booths, exhibits and displays set up at the mall, there will be an afternoon full of activity. It all begins at 1 p.m. with a drug and alcohol skit and wind up with the percussion group Primal Connection. There will be additional musical performances includ- ing solos by Heartland Idol Nellie Guzman and recently crowned Junior Heartland Idol winners Deanna Barrera and Lauren Raulerson. The New Generation Choir, a group of 15-20 teens, also will sing. A number of dance troupes will entertain as well. Three of them theiSister Steppers, the Diamond Steppers and the Anointed Butterflies, will come from the Family Christian Association of America. A small fashion show will be staged by Lake Placid's Caladium Country 4-H Club. Not only will the girls model the clothes, they made them as well. Moreover, the outfits have been modeled and subsequently won at 4-H competition at the Florida State Fair and at a sewing expo in Clearwater. Additionally, the Caladium Country 4-H'ers will have an exhibit at the mall. There they will offer a "make it and take it" sewing item, where interested teens can create their own purse to take home with them after the expo. At the booth, the club will be playing a video tape on The Girls from Planet Earth. That was part of a 2004 community service project done by the organization highlighting the benefits of recycling. Among the 20 or so other booths, displays and exhibits will be the Orange Blossom Pregnancy Care Center, The American Red Cross, an absti- nence program presented by the Highlands County Health Department and a display by the Drug Prevention Resource Center. "The Knights of Columbus will have a group of kids there from the baseball teams," Rawlings said. "We tried to get a lot of different kinds of groups and organizations that had activities for teens." Most everything will be set up around the fountain in the Bealls Court. Lakeshore Mall Manager Paul Loy said it was a natural fit. "Generally on the weekends we have a lot of teens and school kids that come in to the mall," he said. The Teen Expo is slated to run from 1-7 p.m. Saturday. - ,.* 4 -..i~-.

In that article I told you about the documents that a law enforcement officer may ask you for. Those items are randomly chosen by the officer but are required by law. So let's go into a little more detail about these requirements. Your driver's license is required to be in your posses- sion when ever you operate a motor vehicle. This is covered under Florida State Statue 322.15 (1), and it also states that not only should it be car- ried but that it must be fully leg- ible with no portion of the license faded, altered, mutilated or defaced. You are required by this statue to display this upon demand of any law enforcement officer. This is a non-moving violation with a fine of $71.70. If you are not carrying your SFCC Continued from 1A degrees, vocational certificates, or college credit certificates, and 106 graduated from SFCC's Adult Education pro- gram. SFCC faculty who served as marshals were Davida Austin, James Broen, Erik Christensen, Carol Dutton, Cathy Futral and Helen Shoemaker. Stephanie Flanders and Dani Phill provid- ed American Sign Language interpretation during the pro- license, the officer is required to imprint your finger print on the back of the uniform traffic cita- tion. If you fail to allow the officer to get your finger print, it is considered the same are refusing to sign the citation (FSS 318.14), and the officer can and more likely will arrest you on the spot and take you to jail for that refusal. If you do get a citation for not carrying your driver's license you will have 30 days to show proof that you possessed a valid license at the time that you were stopped, meaning it can not have been expired nor suspended on the day in ques- tion. If you show the traffic clerk at the Highlands County Courthouse proof of a valid license prior to the 30-day peri- od your fine will be reduced $7.50 down from the original gram. The SFCC Vocal Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Catherine Burge, partici- pated in the program. Members of the ensemble are Elizabeth Donaldson, Thalia Escobedo, James Grundy, Michelle Rogers, Derrick Roper, and Alexa Toscano. A reception followed the commandment ceremonies.

Failing to show that proof HIGHWAI will end up with H WA your license being .P. suspended. I want you to remember that when you do produce your driver's license not only is it a requirement that it be valid but the information on it must be current. Remember when you celebrate your birthday to keep in mind that you license may be expir- ing on that day. If your license is expired but less than four months (FSS)- 322.065 it is a non-moving violation. But if you let it go over four months (FSS) 322.03 (5) it then becomes a criminal violation and you may be given a court date to appear or taken to jail. In the event that you move from one address to another you only have 10 days to update your dri- ver's license (FSS) 322.19 (1). You may do this by going in person to the Sebring Driver License office, 1205 US 27 North, or you may go online at MyFlorida.com at the lower F .F, right hand portion H LINE of the home page HOTLINE locate the box for office locator oane select Highlands and you are there. There is a $10 fee for the update but it is cheaper than the ticket you will get for $71.50. Now the second item you needed was your vehicle regis- tration. This is required by (FSS) 320.0605 and is directed towards the driver of the vehi- cle. So this means if you bor- row someone's vehicle you should know where their regis-, tration is carried. It allows you to carry the original registration paper work or a duplicate of the original. Remember this is the vehicle registration not the title. As a safety note you should not carry the title to a vehicle in that vehicle unless you are taking it somewhere to sell it. If you just purchased a motor vehicle you will be given a temporary regis- tration until you get your regu- lar registration and this should take about 30 days. If your registration expires but is under six months (FSS) 320.07 (3) (a) it is a non-mov- ing violation. If your registra- tion (tag) is expired over six months (FSS) 320.07 (3) (b) and it is your first offense it is still a non-moving offense. But if you have been cited for this and convicted of this offense previously it then becomes a criminal offense (FSS) 320.07 (3) (c) and again you may be given a court date or taken to jail. If you change your address you have 20 days to update your vehicle registration. Failure to comply with this update in time is a criminal vio- lation, and yes again you can be given a court date or take a trip to jail. You can update your vehicle registration at the Highlands County Tax Collectors offices, 540 S. Commerce Ave, Sebring; 116 E. Main St., Avon Park; or 11 N. Pine St. in Lake Placid. You may also do this online at the myflorida.com site that I previ- ously mentioned. Now for the last item, your insurance. You are required to The cake. (Comcast Digital Cable.)

At noon, more than 100 offi- PARKING Continued from 1A allowed, while officers will be schooled in the new municipal traffic ticket style. The all-in-one citation comes with its own self-addressed envelope. The ticket is designed to fit neatly inside the manila- colored holder and all the viola- tor has to do is simply add money on the inside and' a stamp on the outside. Earlier this year, Sebring City Council members passed a series of ordinances updating definitions and fines for park- ing, which they said were "anti- quated and outdated." The council also took action to increase fines for illegal parking. Regular parking viola- tions now cost $22 each if paid to the city within 14 days. After that they go to $35. Those caught parking in handicapped spaces will be liable for a $250 fine. If motorists go 30 days with- out paying their designated fine, they will be notified by mail and given 14 more days to pay their fine. Any person who fails to pay their fine runs the risk of having their vehicle impounded. Carr said the new emphasis on parking violations will be a combination of both self-initiat- ed and complaint-driven enforcement. He estimated the cials and guests gathered at the Sebring Civic Center for the annual Adopt-A-Leader for Prayer Luncheon, with the national anthem sung by col- lege students Caitlin Maxcy and Heather Wolf, the pledge led by Ed Sager, and opening remarks by County Commissioner Guy Maxcy. The speaker was County Commissioner Bob Bullard, with closing thoughts and prayer offered by Dr. Eugene Bengston, pastor of Bible Fellowship Church. Bengston reminded people that their elected and appointed officials are servants who fight for peo- ple's rights and against evil in the world. "Pray for each other, all the time," he said. "You are out there for us." warning period probably would last about two weeks, then offi- cers would begin writing cita- tions in earnest. "One difference between parking tickets and moving vio- lations is, for the parking infractions, we don't need to see the driver," he said. "We just place one of these citations on the car." Noting that "some infrac- tions are more dangerous than others," Carr said a lot of the enforcement would be at the officer's discretion. "Facing the wrong way in a parking spot is one thing, but you don't want to have a vehi- cle parked too close to an inter- section where drivers cannot see the oncoming traffic," he said. And it is not only on city streets. Some of the enforce- ment will be at shopping cen- ters within the city limits. "We'll be looking at vehicles parked or stopped in fire lanes," he said. "The city has ordi- nances about that." On a recent educational sweep of the city to find poten- tial problems, officers didn't have to travel too far to find their first violation. It was right in back of the officers parking lot, behind the Sebring Police Department on Pine Street. "He was right there," Carr said, pointing to a now-empty space, "parked facing the wrong way."

LASIK is the simple acronym for Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. Scan Wave is the latest technical advance in corrective eye surgery. Williams' surgery was successfully completed the first day the eye cen- ter began using Scan Wave. The Scan Wave is a computer scanning device that makes an accurate image of the eye. The information is transferred to a laser, known as a microkeratome, which reshapes the cornea and eliminates the need for contacts or prescription glasses. Dr. Hunter Newsom performed the surgery with assistance from laser engineer Al Qualley, laser tech- nician Bonnie Miller, and registered nurse Leesa Skipper. Prior to Scan Wave, Newsom said the laser was used in circular patterns to flatten the cornea to cor- rect nearsightedness or make the cornea steeper to correct farsightedness. After reading the structure of the eye, Scan Wave makes a multi-colored printout that is similar to a top- ographical map showing peaks and valleys. With the individualize scan, Newsom is able to flatten or steep- en only those areas of the eye that need reshaping. "Perfect vision is 20/20 eyesight," Newsom said. "With the upgraded laser, vision can become better than perfect." Qualley has been a laser engineer for seven years. He said the results of the new laser are fantastic. "I have seen people's vision improve to 20/15 or 20/10," Qualley said. Newsom has earned national notoriety for his surgi- cal excellence. Along with winning numerous awards, he is one of the youngest surgeons to develop an ambulatory surgical center capable of performing research in eye surgery for the Food and Drug Administration. Still, Newsom gives his staff much of the credit for his success. "Staff is what it is all about," Newsom said. "You set yourself up for success and staff is how you obtain those goals. The doctor and patient have much in common. Williams also credited his devotion to God, country and family as helping him achieve his goals early in life. In 1999, as a 17-year-old Sebring High School jun- ior, Williams joined the National Guard. Today he is a full-time federal technician for the U.S. Department of Military Affairs at the Avon Park Air Force Bombing Range. Williams is stationed with the Florida National Guard at Plant City. He is part of Unit C-Battery, 3/116 Field Artillery Battalion. Part of his job involves repairing and maintaining the equipment fellow soldiers use during their month- ly operations at Plant City. "Because I work full-time with the equipment, I am able to help other soldiers understand how their equip- ment works and what it is capable of doing," Williams said. "It is kind of nice because guys who are a lot older than I am always ask me for advice.' They show a great deal of respect for someone as young as I am." Although he joined the military, Williams did not want to venture far from home. Last year he pur- chased.30 acres of land in Lorida, across from the home of his parents, Guy and Dawn Williams. Williams said he began to thinking about having LASIK surgery when he knew he would be going to SUSAN FOSTER/News-Sun Dr. Hunter Newsom checks Tim Williams' eyes after treating him to the Scan Wave LASIK surgery on April 26 at the Newsom Eye and Laser Center in Sebring. The National Guard specialist, who will deploy to Iraq in the fall, won the free surgery in a drawing when he attended a seminar at the eye center. 'It was like a dream. I can see everything better than with my glasses or contacts. It is a blessing, and I could- n't ask for anything better.' TIM WILLIAMS, National Guard specialist Iraq. "In my line of work, I can't wear contacts because things keep dropping into my eyes. Glasses are not much better. They can fog up or slide down just when you need them. I didn't want to put up with that and get shot at too," said Williams. His mother suggested that he look into having LASIK surgery. However, when he visited the clinic, he realized the costs might be beyond his financial means. "I had financed the property across from my parents home," Williams said. "With that and my truck I was sure I had maxed out my line of credit." Vickie Cribbs, a fellow parishioner at First Baptist Church of Lorida, told Williams that Newsom Eye Clinic was having a seminar on LASIK surgery. She said after that a free surgery using the new Scan Wave would be given away in a drawing. Williams attended the seminar and couldn't believe his luck when his name was drawn. "When they called my name, I looked around for another Tim Williams," he said. "When they said he came from Lorida, I knew it had to be me." Two hours after surgery, Williams went back to the clinic for a checkup. Although his vision was slightly hazy, his eyesight tested at a perfect 20/20. Still, it was not until Friday morning that Williams realized the impact of corrective surgery. "It was like a dream," he said. "I can see everything better than with my glasses or contacts. It is a bless- Acuity Map microns 14 0(, ' C f , 6 00 o00. 0 ,C VN -- -2 00 . ,12 Ob. -14.00 Rango: -0,2 to +1 .9 micvcrs Rms Error (p): 2 Grid Wavetront High Order Aberrations Rms Erro (p): C microns 1.25 .

I just hope that someday everyone will be able to afford this sur- gery." Williams has but one debt to repay his surgeon. He promised Newsom he would stay in touch with him and let him know how he is doing after he ships out to Iraq on Sept. 17. TEWAQT CONSTRUCTION SEBRING.

Arson Awareness Week runs this week through Saturday. Florida's Chief Financial Officer and State Fire Marshal Tom Gallagher is asking people to help prevent youth from get- ting involved in fire play or arson. "Even though not all cases end in arrest," Gallagher said Monday in a press release, "especially when young chil- dren are involved the conse- quences are just as real," Among more than 2,200 fires in 2004 that the State Fire Marshal's Office, Bureau of Fire and Arson Investigations ruled as arson, 69 Floridians died, 32 were injured, and more than $50 million in property was damaged. Of those cases: A 4-year-old boy and his 71-year-old 'grandmother suf- fered third-degree burns after the boy set fire to a kitten, which then set fire to the house. The boy hid when the fire began and his grandmother had to search for him. Detectives learned it wasn't his first time playing with fire. A 7-year-old playing with a road flare in his bedroom started a fire that severely dam- aged his home. His family had no insurance. A 5-year-old and an 18- month-old, left alone in an apartment, died after the older child found a lighter, began playing with it and started a fire. Of the 454 arson arrests detectives made last year, 159 were juveniles. Parents can pre- vent arson and teach respect for fire with the following tips: Keep matches and lighters out of children's reach and sight. M Never play with lighters or matches in front of children. Teach children to tell an adult if they find matches or a lighter or if they see someone playing with them. Teach children how to dial 911. SFor older children, parents should deal out hard facts. Arson is a crime, punishable by jail time and fines. If they com- mit arson at school, they could be expelled. If someone dies or is injured, they could be charged with murder or attempted murder. During this week, detectives with the State Fire Marshal's Office will participate in a range of activities, from open house events at regional offices to in-school demonstrations and contests, aimed at teaching chil- dren about fire safety and the risks of playing with fire.

AT RANnoM SHI InIicted Content available from Commercal News Providers, Men are S_ happier Legacy of Ford W. Heacock Editor: From early on, the Heacock family was our extended fami- ly. When I was a Boy Scout, Ford Jr. was my first Scoutmaster. It didn't take long for him to pull my dad (Scottie) and oth- ers into scouting leadership. They had an amazing love for the woods and helping young men find themselves. During those years when we had no idea who we were or where we were going, these two men and their supporters helped shape our lives and gave us direction. In the middle of this, they taught us appreciation for nature, the outdoors and life. Even though I do very little cooking now, they taught us the skills of the primitive kitchen and the application of those skills anywhere, anytime. They made a commitment to us that lasted for many years - "we're going camping the last weekend of each month, no matter what" and we did. They were still going strong after I left Sebring in 1962. Ford, with his association with the Sebring Race arranged fort us to work and raise funds for our troop. This resulted "n us learning many additional inter- personal skills, along with the magic of international racing. Our coffers were filled. With Don Hansen's help, we purchased a Jeep, trailer and supplies through the Civil Defense program. We no longer had to borrow a vehicle to take us camping and we had all the camping and cooking equipment we needed. We were able to supply some boys with uniforms. Ford continued to push for us and found the help and equipment we needed. On our camping trips (50 cents per meal) we would shop on Wednesday and Jimmy Whitehouse (IGA) would store our groceries until Friday, when we would pick them up and pay for them. Ford set it up, got us started and then never involved him- self with this again. He arranged it, taught it and trusted us. We then passed this on to the next wave of Scouts. We were so successful in our endeavors in the woods, that many times our shopping at the IGA included no meat. We were quite capable of providing ourselves with armadillo, squirrel, rabbit and the like. We made trips to strange local places like Kicco, The Little Place, Fisheating Creek, Rattlesnake Hammock, Rainy Slew, Peace River, Lake Istokpoga, The Bombing Range, Fort Kissimmee and Hail Pen Gully. On one trip to Fisheating Creek, we caught a wild pig ... yes, caught by hand. On anoth- er we caught a wild turkey ... yes, we caught it by hand also. And hundreds of armadillos fell victim to Ford's boys in the process. We caught mumps, allergy flares, poison ivy, wounds from knives and axes, scrapes and bruises. We survived and grew. Ford, Scottie and Jimmy Maxey were integral to this process. There were many oth- ers, all of whom helped us in our scouting who deserve our undying and unqualified grati- tude. They taught us self-suffi- ciency, teamwork, honor, integrity, commitment, friend- ship and an unparalleled love for Mother Nature's gifts. In 1997 Ford was honored with the presentation of the Boy Scout Distinguished Citizen Award. It was to be done at a cookout and my brother Litton had asked for me to arrange to attend. Upon arrival, there were sev- eral of us from the original Troop 141 attending. As usual (for us) we all migrated to the cooking area and without design, ended up being the ones serving. It was only when we had lined up that we all realized what a testimony this was for him. When he was about half way through the line, he real- ized it and what an emotional experience for all of us! Since we were the. only ones who knew, it was a very strong, pri- vate and personal experience for us. Later in the.evening, he acknowledged us with great pride. We were HIS boys Ford Jr. has touched so many Sofus.'Sebring and the world-are- a much better place for his commitment to us and scout- ing. He invited us into his life and embraced us. His family extends far, far beyond his bloodlines. He has been a fine man and a great leader ... he will be missed. As for his lega- cy, God has blessed us all through him. Ted Walker Miami Student vows to not use drugs Editor: During our DARE classes with Officer [Tamara] Neale I learned about the dangers of using drugs. I also learned about what to do if someone approached me with drugs, or if my friends were doing drugs. In the first lesson I learn about tobacco and the cancer and sicknesses you could get by using tobacco. In the second lesson I learned about marijuana. I learned that marijuana can cause short-term memory loss and the inability to concentrate and that marijuana smoke con- tains 50-70 percent more of cancer-causing chemicals than tobacco smoke. I also learned that using alcohol could give you loss of coordination, slowed reflexes, memory lapses and slurred speech. Alcohol also goes directly into the bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of diseases. Because of what I learned about in DARE, I will not use drugs. I think that it is impor- tant to know about these things if you think that drugs are good. I will make a commitment not to do drugs when I am older.

Throughout his stay, he received incredibly compas- sionate care, which was very comforting at a time when we, as family, felt helpless. The expertise of the nursing and respiratory therapist staffs were evident and their explanations of the treatments were appreci- ated as my father's condition declined due to his illness. My mother and I felt as though we were cared for as much as my father.

She asks, "What do you expect from such simple crea- tures?" Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be president. You can never be preg- nant. Car mechanics tell you the truth. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Wrinkles add character. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-ren- dered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blis- ter, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. W-.lf,rsomeone .forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife. No wonder men are happier. Speaking of men being happy, Daniel isn't exactly a man yet at his young, age of 8, but last weekend he came run- ning in with a piece of paper with numbers written on it. He wanted me to go buy him /a piece of wood that rvas that exact length and width. I sug- gested instead that he use soipe of the wood under my tree that I hadn't burned yet. That was good enough for him. Curious as to what he was doing, I looked out the window a few minutes later and to my amazement saw that he had built a "lemonade stand" to sell some of his little cars and trucks. Now, keep in mind that he (really I) have bought them for him and spent all of 89 cents on ,most of them. He had made a sign in which he was trying to sell the items for (free to $5). Why? He just wanted some money in his pocket and he hadn't done all of the chores he needed to do to earn all of his allowance. I had to give him credit for his creativity. When I was young, I had a lemonade stand, but would never have thought of trying to sell my Barbie dolls or any of their clothes. He managed sales totaling $3.30 to be split between him and his friends down the road (they helped build the stand). The suckers: My parents, myself, Briana and our sweet neighbor who must have also thought the boys were cute. Oh, to be young and creative with no worry of what others think. -- Q News-Sun, Friday, May 6. 2005 19A Bruder is more than president at Francis 1 park . .- 1 b Francis 1 Mobile Estates will forever be indebted to the exhausting efforts from its president and park manager Leah Bruder. Leah Bru- der's main goal from day one as she took office was anything that would be for the betterment of this community. I have worked beside her, as A TRIBUTE JOMAIE GRINKIEWICZ office manager, as friend as we both undertook endeavors that were new and challenging. We worked in an office mobile that was 35 years old and had never been remodeled from the year 1969. Leah saw how an old, musty smelling, unwel- coming office could, with a lit- tle paint, carpet, remodeling, and tender, loving care be trans- formed into a businesslike and friendly atmosphere. And so it was as the call for volunteers came forward and soon the office at Francis 1 was receiv- ing all the "ohhhhs," and "ahh- hhhs," it never before heard. From the office, Leah and her troop of hard-working, proud, dedicated volunteers and resi- dents of Francis 1 moved out- side and began with beautifying the grounds. Old trailers were removed, large and threatening trees were hauled out, and slowly Francis 1 was getting a face lift created from blood, sweat, tears and lots of love. Then, on Aug. 13, Hurricane Charley blew across the area and left dozens of residents with damaged and destroyed homes and spirits. They were down, but by far were they out. Again, guided by their com- munity leader, Leah led the march of vol- unteers moving for- ward with the cleanup and true "help thy neighbor" Francis 1 spirit. By month's end, only a few bruises were left as we all worked together in the healing and rebuilding process. Then came a differ- ent kind of Frances - another terrifying time, which was to cause the destruc- tion of the newly remodeled office and residents homes, scars of Charley were ripped wide open on Sept. 4-6 with the long and endless unwelcomed arrival of Hurricane Frances. To say it took the strength of one community, holding on to whatever we had left to make it through the slow, once again grueling task of restoring har- mony within this community and making it feel and look like home again, is an understate- ment. It took the character that is found in each and every resi- dent within Francis 1. It took the strength of their president, their neighbor, their friend- Leah Bruder. And again, together we made it through and found ourselves laughing and feeling like a fam- ily once more. We were filled with optimism that Frances was the last of Mother Nature's fury we would see. After all, it was almost the end of September. So, with new found courage and determination, we carried on with business as usual. The office now set up in a corner of the clubhouse Leah and I planning out the season ahead and what needed to be done. We worked in this small office. built for us by the volunteers, without phones or all the com- forts of the mobile office. We, as everyone else in the park, had learned how to adjust and how to "roll with the punches." Until ... Sept. 25 and the cruel devastation left behind from Hurricane Jeanne. Three strikes, you're out? Not at Francis 1. By the time the season arrived, Francis 1 showed only minimal bruises from the sum- mer of hurricanes. Spirits were once again up, activities were resumed, because Leah was adamant that this was the way it was going to be. Anyone who knows about community living and co-ops knows that those amongst the board of directors hold the most thankless positions of anyone. I am here to say thank you to all the board members at Francis 1 - you truly are heroes in every. sense of the word. I am writing this through the inspiration, love and admiration I feel for Leah Bruder. I think it *is important for everyone at Francis 1 to know and see her for the caring, devoted, hard- working individual she is. On April 27, Leah came into the office as usual with her bright and welcoming "Good Morning" smile and cheery dis- position. Upon looking at her, I became concerned. She did not look well to me and it was apparent that something was wrong. It was. I called 911 and Leah was rushed to Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center. Later, the vice president, Marlin Scott, and his wife Mary came in to tell me the grim news. Leah had literally died twice on the table and was brought back. I was shocked, pained, dev- astated. How could this be hap- pening? It was only hours earli- er we were sharing the day's projects at hand. But it was hap- pening. Doctors were concerned with getting her stabilized enough to make the transfer from Sebring to Orlando, a 20-mniute flight. Finally, the transfer was made. On the evening of April 27, Leah slipped into a coma. Again, I and most everyone else at Francis I continue to pray with overwhelming con- cern and worry that she will fight for herself as hard and as determined as she has fought for Francis 1. The next morning we were hopeful. With her hus- band, sons and sister at her side, she began to show signs of that spirit and strength I have so come to admire. And in the past 24 hours I have come to rely on that admiration and why and how it developed in me -just so I could move forward, as Leah would want and expect. Our prayers and our hearts go out to her as does the undying thanks and gratitude for all she has done for the park and its residents. I ask of anyone living in any community to please see Sand appreciate the work and devotion that your board mem- bers put in. The only compensa- tion they receive, if they are for- tunate, is a "Thank you." JoMarie Grinkiewicz is licensed community manager at Francis I Mobile Home Park in Sebring.

Coordinated by the Florida Medical Association, the Doctor of the Day program serves the medical needs of the House and its staff. "I really enjoyed the experi- ence. I will go every year," Arumugam said. "We were not in the gallery but right on the floor where we could enjoy the companionship." The Doctor of the Day is granted the privilege of being on the floor and interacting with House members who are conducting legislative business in the House Chamber. The doctor has the opportu- nity to discuss his or her work with legislators and give a health practitioner's perspec- tive on health care issues. "It was a wonderful experi- ence because we were right in the eye of the storm in the cap- ital where they were debating various bills. We were able to witness all the activity in the legislative process," said Morris. "We were very fortu- nate at the end of the day to meat with Governor (Jeb) Bush in his private office. We chatted about the Sebring races. He was most gracious to give us a warm reception." On occasion the Doctor of the Day has real work to do. For example, Arumugam saw four patients during his day on duty. The Doctor of the Day pro- gram was started in the 1960s by a representative at the time, Walter Sackett, M.D., of Miami. He encouraged the Florida Medical Association to bring a physician to Tallahassee each day of the regular legisla- tive session and thus the Doctor of the Day program was born. The program provides a vital professional service to all members of the Florida Legislature and legislative employees. The physicians of Florida have provided this service every year since the inception of the program. The Highlands Regional Medical Center doctors were invited to serve by Rep. Denise Grimsley, who is familiar with how important healthcare is on a local level. "We were pleased to have Drs. Arumugam and Morris serve as Doctors of the Day during the 2005 Session," said Grimsley.

Boy Scout Troop 156 prepares for Saturday's anniversary celebration Hundreds of boys have learned the tenants of Boy Scouting AVON PARK Members and leaders of Boy Scout Troop 156 worked all day Saturday to prepare Hooper Lodge for its 55th anniversary celebration. That occasion will be marked from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday. The public, Boy Scouts and present and past troop members are invited to stop by the lodge at 202 Robert Britt St. (formerly West Church Street). In a demonstration of out- door cooking skills, troop members will show how to prepare food in a Dutch oven on top of a fire table and how to cook beans in a hole in the ground. Awards will be presented at the end of the day, and eligible troop members will advance to the next level of Boy The Scout Oath "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." The Scout Motto "Be prepared." The Scout Slogan "Do a good turn daily." Scout Law: A Scout is TRUSTWOR- THY. A Scout is LOYAL. A Scout is HELPFUL. A Scout is FRIENDLY. A Scout is COURTE- OUS.

Fifty-five years ago, several citizens recognized the value of scouting and joined forces with Union Congregational Church to charter Boy Scout Troop 156. Hundreds of boys have taken part in troop activities over the years. Some stayed for only a few months, but many more were members for years. A few even reached the highest rank of Boy Scouting - Eagle Scout. Former troop members have gone on to become doc- tors, lawyers, pilots and politi- cians, while others work as city and county personnel, foresters, teachers, mechanics, salesmen and farmers. Some have become Scout leaders themselves or have had sons they encouraged in the scouting program. If asked, almost anyone of them will have a story to relate on how some aspect of Scouting has affected their lives. 20A P 'r..Lt ,.'r ,,ucl', BiIII assets and lifestyle by making annuities and life insurance a part of your financial plan.

With Avon Park down to its final out, Jesse Macias singled home Nate Perry to tie the game, and Doug Lemler's hopper scored Jason Massey with the winner. 25 Years Ago May 6, 1980: Senior Tim Cribb ripped a line-hugging single to right in the bottom of the fifth to drive home both Avon Park runs, while fellow senior David Sisemore held Clearwater Central Catholic to four hits in a 2-1 playoff victory. The triumph was turnabout for the Red Devils, who had been knocked out 2-1 by eventual state champ CCC the year before. *** Trivia Time Q A What is the only team in the history of- the NBA to make the Finals with a losing record? *'?,-7 uoIso 0o ~SOI Aetl a9JaIM 'SIlUIJ aql ape- lnq g -o0 tua. oqM 's a)ooUI uoisnoH 1.861 a41 High School Softball Bayshore bounces Sebring in 1st round BY CHUCK MYRON Sports Writer BRADENTON On the fifth day of the fifth month of 2005, it was the fifth inning that proved Sebring's undoing. Bayshore got three runs on five straight hits to double what had been a 3-0 lead and Latece Luther closed out a victory for Jenni Campos on the mound in a 6-0 victory in the first round of the Class 4A state playoffs Thursday night. "We've had a tough season hitting the ball," Bayshore coach Larry Peterson said. "All of a sudden, we're just wailing on the ball the last couple, three games." Luther, a freshman, was 3- High School Baseball Streaks bomb Bears Win in District 14-4A semifinals clinches another trip to playoffs BY JOHN RI TER :News-Sun SEBRING Maybe Sebring should entertain professional scouts more often. Already informed that scouts from the Arizona Diamondbacks would be in atten- dance for Thursday night's District 14-4A semifinals, senior shortstop Ryan Williams went 4-for-4 with four runs scored and sen- ior first baseman Kiko Vazquez nailed his second leadoff home run of the year in the midst of a 17-2 slam of Palmetto Ridge in five innings on a night that saw everything go 17 Sebring's way. "We came out to run the Palmetto Ridge bases and put a little pres- 2 sure on them and they gave Sus a few extra outs there. We're not super fast, but we ran the bases pretty well when they made a few mistakes," Sebring coach Hoppy Rewis said, referring to the Bears' three errors that eventually led to runs. "We came out to play tonight," Williams said. "We just all came out together and hit the ball and had fun. We knew if we won tonight, we could still go (to the playoffs next week) even if we lose (in tonight's title game). So we just had to come out and play hard and do it again (against Lemon Bay)." Williams was a home run short of the cycle, helping the Streaks score three runs in each of the first two innings. A.C. Wilson for-3 with an RBI single, dou- ble and triple before she threw one inning of scoreless relief for Campos, who had given up only two hits in the first six innings. "I tell you, that kid, if Bay she keeps her head on right and she keeps a good, strong attitude, she'll be at Florida State, S easy," Peterson said. With an infield of all sophomores and fresh- men, the future is also bright for Sebring (13-15), head coach Lee Tolar said. "It's a learning process for them," he said. "We're going to be back. This was good experi- ence for them." sh bri m 0 The lesson began early, when Bayshore (16-8) leadoff batter Heather Bell reached on an error and Luther drove her in with a single for a 1-0 lead. "We came out a little flat ore defensively," Tolar said, "which is very uncharac- teristic of this defense. It just kind of snowballed ng from there." After Luther knocked in another run on a third- inning double, Shanna lohe scored on Sebring's sec- ond error of the game in the fourth. But it wasn't until a reaction to unusual calls changed Peterson's strategy that the Lady Bruin bats became unleashed. After two bunting batters were called out for hit- ting the pitch while having a foot out of the batter's box, Peterson let his hitters swing freely. "This is my sixth year as a head coach, and I've never, never seen it called before," Peterson said. "And here I saw it twice in one game.. I said, 'OK, fine, we'll just turn around and hit the ball.' " After Campos, who improved her pitching record to 14-4, led off the fifth with an infield single, Luther brought her home on a triple. Amanda Holden brought Luther home See BOUNCES, Page 4B .' '. ' ---S .. ........ .

Meanwhile, Sebring sophomore hurler Chaz Abeln picked up the win in what was the first start of his young high school career. "When it's single elimination, it's win the first game and you go on," Rewis said of his decision to start Abeln, undoubtedly his most consistent pitcher since last year, for the first time. "We weren't going to take any chances. We've got three kids who can all do the job, maybe four, but we know (Chaz) is going to throw strikes and we were just trying to get in the playoffs tonight and get home-field advantage." Vazquez's blast, his eighth on the year, came after Abeln sat down the Bears in order on seven pitches to start the game and ignited a three-run first. Williams followed with a long double to left and later came around to score on an Abeln grounder to short to go ahead 2-0. An error in right field then put Dusty Campbell on second base before another error on a Colt Williams swing opened the door for Campbell to make it 3-0. Palmetto Ridge came back and found a way to rough up Abeln in the top of the very next inning; however, and cut the deficit to one. That much-needed momentum swing didn't last long as Sebring scored 14 runs in the next three frames with Ryan Williams See STREAKS, Page 4B TIME OUT Chuck Myron Bonds has a long way to go to catch pope I'll trade you a J.D. Drew for a J.P. II. It turns out you might want to check your bicycle spokes for any pictures of religious figures with their career statistics on the back. A Pope John Paul II trading card, manufactured by the Topps company, has sold for $8,100 in a deal struck between two collec- tors in California. While falling short of Honus Wagner's $1.26 mil- lion dollar record for a card, there is no word on whether there was any accompanying piece of chewing gum in the shape of the Virgin Mary that could add to its value. The limited-edition pope card is part of the Topps 2005 World Treasures line, which features other histor- ical figures like Czar Paul I and King Frederick the Great, all with signatures taken from other docu- ments and electronically pasted into the design. I'm assuming the signa- ture is usually situated , someplace on the front that doesn't distract from the photo of the world leader sliding into third. Yet for the late pontiff, at least, it appears this is no rookie card. Paradigm Trading Cards has a Web site, www.johnpauliitrad- ingcards.com, advertising a set of 20 different pope cards available for only $10, plus shipping and han- dling. These cards feature pic- tures of the pope with such luminaries as Mother Teresa, Ronald Reagan and Nelson Mandela, taken, I suppose, when they were all teammates on the 1989 Pittsburgh Pirates. Barry Bonds, who actu- ally was on the '89 Pirates, has never had a card sell for more than $1,200, according to Reuters, and since the pope outstripped him by nearly $7,000, the cloud of suspected steroid use cannot hang far from the Vatican. See MYRON, Page 4B By DANIEL BEDELL News-Sun Correspondent SEBRING The Elks used their cannon to blast Sertoma for a 6-3 win Thursday and stay tied for first place in the Sebring Dixie Youth Majors league. The cannon in this case was pitcher Jared Cannon, who struck out 10 batters while only walking one and giving up six hits. Cannon pitched all six innings and was able to keep Sertoma in check while his team worked on getting runs on the board to grab the win to make them 6-1 on the season. "I felt really good. I was just throwing strikes and not too many balls," Cannon said. "I think we did good. We got a bunch of key hits and good defensive plays." Sertoma (1-5) went down fighting, though, as pitcher Brad Torres pitched an excellent game himself. Sertoma challenged the Elks' lead several times, but they were never able to capitalize on scoring opportunities, .leaving men on base nearly every inning. The Elks got off to a fast start with Gunner Westergom scoring on a Seth Abeln triple. Abeln came home on a sin- gle by Kyle Cunningham and Cunningham scored off a Alex Baldridge single that made the score 3-0 after the first inning. Sertoma was able to get their first run in the top of the third when Wyatt Johnson walked to get on base and then was driven in by a C.J. Payne double. The Elks came right back in the bot- tom of the inning with a double by Westergom and then another double by Abeln that scored Westergom. Cunningham then smacked another dou- ble that scored Abeln to put the Elks up 5-1. Jake Bryan led off the fourth for Sertoma and knocked a double.

Tyler Baker pushed the Elks' lead to 6-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning when he walked and then made a great heads-up play by stealing home on a passed ball. Alex Baldridge scored the last run for the Elks in the bot- tom of the fifth after getting on base with a single. Sertoma got one more run in the sixth inning when Jake Bryan singled and then was driven in by a Buddy Mays sin- gle. After a rough go last year, Elks coach Robert Cannon was pleased with how he team played Tuesday and in the sea- son so far. "I thought we really played well against one of the best pic- tures in the league," he said. "I thought they would be a little intimidated, but they hit the ball well. Jared pitched a heck of a game tonight and we had some big hits. We've got some kids who are hot, Alex Baldridge and Seth really hit the ball. "We were 0-17 last year and we are 6-1 this year, so we are having fun." BOUNCES Continued from 1B with a single and Allison Holden brought home the final run on another triple.

Gator's 3 Corbin Hoffner pitched six innings of one-hit ball, striking out nine, and hit a two-run homer to lead the Lions to a 10- 3 win over R.J. Gator's on Thursday. The win improved the Lions to 6-1 and kept them tied with the Elks for first place. The Lions scored two runs in the first on Taylor Townsend's RBI double and an error, then Sebring hits, to go along with Jessica Cooley's double and a Priya Patel single, but it was too little, too late in support of pitcher Kendall Carson (7-7). "We finished strong," Tolar said. "It wasn't the best per- formance tonight, but nobody was giving up." One reason for Tolar's opti- mism is the performance of Carson, who despite her strug- gles Thursday, established her- STREAKS Continued from 1B singling, doubling and tripling while driving in two runs during that span to turn the game into a laugher. Sebring batted around in the bottom of the fourth inning to score six and the inning probably would've lasted longer if Zach Walkup's shot to center field hadn't been turned into a shoestring Sgrab by Aniel Perez. Prior to that, Charlie Peck, Vazquez and Williams added RBIs to their stat sheet. Colt Williams then came in to slam the door in the final inning, striking out two of three in his second appearance on the year. 'We came out "Maybe we should've gotten run the bases Colt in there an inning sooner, I and put a lit- mean, you never know what pitch tie pressure count that someone's not good for on them and the next game," Rewis said.

The Manta Rays are the only team in the district to beat Sebring and the winner in that game will secure home-field advantage in the first round of regionals, while the loser will be faced with an away game. "They're going to come fired up and I thought there were two teams who came here to win the thing and that's us and Lemon Bay," Rewis said. MYRON Continued from 1B I'm sure investigations will begin soon con- cerning whether John Paul's hat size grew during his papacy, and if there was any truth to the rumor BALCO boss Victor Conte was in the run- ning to become a Cardinal shortly before the pope's death. Regardless, this is no doubt creating a run on Benedict XVI memorabilia, and indeed, each of the 20-card sets from Paradigm includes one Benedict. They'd probably sell better locally if they stuck a few Urban I's, Urban II's and Urban Meyers in there, too. And, if my childhood experience is any indi- cation, there should also be one of an anonymous backup middle infielder identical to 14 others you have. Anyone need a 1991 Randy Ready? Now, the schoolyard in which I first tried to get rid of such extraneous pinch hitters was a Catholic schoolyard, and I doubt whether we would have been allowed to have pope cards. Unless, of course, you let Father Bill have three Pius V's for a Boniface IX and a Carl Crawford rookie.

Felix Basulto led off with a single and scored on Matthew Grubb's double, Hoffner reached on an error and scored and Townsend walked and scored to make it 6-0. R.J. Gator's got back into the game with three runs in the bot- tom of the inning, however. Walks by Jayme Faircloth and Wade Faircloth set up a run- scoring error off the bat of Matt Randall, and Cody Cook made the most of his team's only hit off Hoffner with a two-run sin- gle to left to cut it to 6-3. But four runs in the top of the fourth showed why the Lions are in first place. Hoffner's bomb over the center-field fence got the scoring started and Garrett Lewis singled and scored on Josh Heflin's two-out single to keep it going. Heflin later scored on a wild pitch to make it 10-3. R.J. Gator's tried to get a rally going in the bottom of the sixth with a single from Cook and a double from Nathan Greene, but Grubb, who came on in relief to start the inning, got out of the inning without allowing a run. Toby Solebello pitched 2'A innings of scoreless relief for R.J. Gator's, striking out four an allowing one hit. self as the team's front-line starter three-fourths of the way through the season. "We're going to work with her in the offseason, put her on a training program, and have her ready for next year because she's got a lot of strength," Tolar said of his freshman ace. Tolar promised Carson won't be the only one ready next year. "Mark my words," he said, "we're going to be back."

Courtesy photo Manuella Jaramillo (below) and her SFCC teammates can stay in volleyball shape by using the beach- style court recently built on campus. Academic, athletic future is bright for SFCC's Jaramillo Special to the News-Sun AVON PARK South Florida Community College's student-athletes are held to a rigorous standard, both in their sport and in the classroom, and volleyball's Manuela "Mia" Jaramillo was given no excep- tion. "At-our campus, we thrive on excellence educationally and athletically," said Kim Crawford, head volleyball coach. "We want our students to succeed. We teach morals, val- ues, never to be late, and to respect everyone on campus. Our entire athletic department shares those same qualities and views." With a 3.76 grade-point aver- age, Jaramillo recently graduat- ed from SFCC with an associate in arts degree in industrial engi- neering. As a result of that hard work, her educational and ath- letic futures are bright. Jaramillo earned a scholarship to play volleyball at Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University in the fall. "I'm taking a Calculus III course at SFCC during the sum- mer, and then I'll go to condi- tion with the team at Embry- Riddle," Jaramillo said. Jaramillo played her high school volleyball at Sebring High School before being signed by Crawford to play for the Panthers. "Mia came in looking unco- ordinated and not sure of her spot on the court," Crawford said, but the coach saw some- thing in Jaramillo's abilities and recruited her. "You look for that athlete who will be great when they leave the community college," Crawford said. "At SFCC, I could put her in any spot on the front row, and she could play it. Student athletes always grow on this level. Just as a player gets to be great at the communi- ty college level, they leave." Recently, Jaramillo was named Scholastic Athlete of the Year at SFCC for earning the highest GPA of all volleyball players. Last year, she earned recognition as an NJCAA ,Academic All-American and she was one of three recipients of the Coach's Award this year. "I gave my Coach's Award to three players who came to SFCC when I started here," said Crawford. "Not only did they develop as student athletes, but I developed as a coach. We learned from each other."

"I try to be as good as I can be," she said, "and my mother expects me to get good grades." Jaramillo's family came to Highlands County five years ago from Manizales, Colombia. "My grandparents lived here and have a ranch," she said. "We're growing tropical pump- kins now instead of raising cat- tle." As a child, Jaramillo attend- ed bilingual schools and has spoken English much of her life. "It just took me a little while to get used to the Southern accent when I came here," she said Jarmillo's sister, Daniela, is also a member of SFCC's vol- leyball team. Her father, Bruno, is a veteri- narian but manages the ranch. Her mother, Lina, takes math and English classes at SFCC through the ESOL (English for Speakers of other Languages) program. "She's also working on a landscaping degree," said Jaramillo. "She plans to do landscape design here. We have a small nursery on our property in Lorida." "(My mother) wants us to be productive and good individu- als and encourages me to be the best I can be," she said. "Education is very important, and she knows that school comes first." Jaramillo says that playing volleyball as a student-athlete is like a full time job, which requires more than 40 hours per week from the players during the season, which runs from August through October. "With my players, we train a month before school starts," said Crawford. "They eat, sleep, and breathe volleyball for a full month before the season starts. As soon as school starts, they take a minimum of 12 credits of classes. We're also traveling to matches and tour- naments. "It's a structured schedule, and they have to be on top of school. They're not supposed miss a class unless they're dog sick in their bed." To help the players with their academic requirements, the ath- letic department has set aside two conference rooms in the Panther Field House for stu- dent-athletes to study together. "During the fall semester, we hold study hall once a week at night. When the season is over, I give them a calendar of study hall times that take place twice a day for 2'/2 hours," said Crawford. In the offseason, Jaramillo and her teammates can also stay in shape and get a break from their studies on the beach vol- leyball court that was recently installed on campus. "Beach volleyball is excel- lent training for an indoor play- er," said Crawford, who played beach volleyball as a profes- sional. "If you can move quick- ly on sand, you can move quickly on an indoor court. It's good for ball control because of the wind and sun, so it makes them a better well-rounded vol- leyball. It's also a stress reliev- er." Jaramillo's approach to jug- gling school and athletics is a simple one. "I try to separate volleyball from school and vice-versa," she said. "If you're thinking about both things at once, you take -away from your studies. If I have volleyball, I can't think about homework. It can't be a 50-50 thing; it has to be 100 percent."

This will be a glorious well-deserved moment for these women. However, have you given thought to the hundreds of neglected abandoned moth- ers? Where are these aban- doned mothers a skeptic might asked? They are tucked away in a nursing home, a hospital, blended in some among the community where you live. Have you given though to that strug- gling single, young mom on your job. Perhaps it's that woman who lives next door. Maybe it's the mother you described as miserable, or thought to have harbor some prejudice. Perhaps, her cold attitude could be a result of "mother abandonment." Yes, you heard of "child abandon- ment." Mothers also are abandoned. Can you imagine the consequences, if a law was in place regarding "mother abandonment?" I challenge you to "adopt a mom." Take her church with you, include her in your fam- ily celebrations, take her to tea, lunch or brunch. Give her a gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure. Mow her lawn. Repair the leaky faucet. Weed her overgrown garden. Do your best to make this day special. Mother's Day started in the 1600s in England, cele- brated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, and was called "Mothering Sunday," honor- ing mothers of England. It was a period when many were poor and worked seven days a week, as live-in-' maids for the wealthy. This was the only day that these mothers were encouraged to have as a paid day off. Julia Ward, then intro- duced Mother's Day to the United States in 1872 in Boston, Mass., as a day of peace, where mothers would attend annually. However, Ana Jarvis, was the woman in 1907, who is responsible for campaigning to make this day a recognized national event, in honor of her deceased mother. With the help of her church in Grafton, W.V., and support- ers in Philadelphia along with supporters such as members of the clergy, busi- nessmen politician and oth- ers the government was peti- tioned to give Mother's Day national recognition. By 1911, Mother's Day was rec- ognized in every state. The proclamation, official- ly declaring the second Sunday in May as a national Mother's Day was announced by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Since that period, other countries has emulated America and now celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. Sadly, many among us * take motherhood and moth- ers for granted not appreciat- ing the role that they have played in building our socie- ty, and while many are cele- brating this day among fami- ly and friends, others are in the shadows, feeling unloved, unwanted, under- appreciated and neglected.

Cavallaro was born in Sicily May 8, 1902. In January 1907, he and his family landed at Ellis Island and settled in Newark, N.J. where he grew up. On the voyage Cavallaro couldn't hold anything down. He was starving. "The captain had told Mom that I wouldn't survive the trip, that I would pass on soon." His father had been a farmer who grew lots of beans, and his mother had roasted five pounds of banzos garbanzoss), and brought a bagful on the trip. "Mom mashed up those ban- zos and fed me. That kept me up. I've always eaten them. The Italians call them jits. That's why I'm alive today," Cavallaro said. Mentally, he feels 60, but lacks all that physical strength, of course. He now lives in Buttonwood Bay retirement community. "I'm taking it a year at a time, a day at a time. But I still. travel. Last year I drove to Marietta, Ga ... 515 miles north. I went up (Interstate) 95 along the coast, then cut in. And on my return, I came back on (Interstate) 75. I made a cir- cle, a round trip," Cavallaro said. "As for my health, once in a while I get down, but I gotta pull up out of it. Sometimes I just don't feel the way I want. "I can drive anytime, night or day. I have good eyesight and have been driving since I was 12. At 14, I got my work- ing papers and worked on sewing machines, as a tailor. In 1929, I started with Ford Motor Company first as a laborer, then a foreman, and later as general foreman of the trim department putting in 34 years there. I retired at 62. I'm proud that I always worked ... even through the Depression. Back then a car was only $500. But now I've been retired longer than I worked," Cavallaro said. It was while Cavallaro was working at a sporting goods company in Newark, N.J. as a tailor that he met his wife, Amelia Testa. She was sewing across from him. Cavallaro and his wife were 103 NEWS-SUN + SEBRING, FLA. t)roa/gA AA going years CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun JoAnn Carter, neighbor and friend, hugs Mike Cavallaro. He worked for the Ford Motor Company for more than 40 years, and retired in 1962, hav- ing met Henry Ford in person. married 70 years. They lived in Newark until 1967, when he retired from Ford Motor Co. where he worked in the assem- bly plant in Carney-Edgewater, N.J. They moved to Miami after he retired and lived there for 28 years before moving to Buttonwood Bay in Sebring in 1992 to be closer to his daugh- ter, Jilda, who is 80. His wife died in 1995 when she was 95. In addition to Jilda, they had two other chil- dren. He hasa-son, Jhm, \Jho 1- 82 and a younger daughter, Jane, who is 66. They both live in New Jersey. Cavallaro stays active in Buttonwood Bay. "Everything's my hobby. I love to cook, and our gang goes out to eat together every Friday morning. I play domi- noes, and greedy (a dice game) and am pretty good at it. I did a lot of gardening when I was younger, even raised chickens and turkeys after retirement. I've done everything." Ursula Albecker, 88, is his friend from the singles group at Buttonwood Bay and he rents a room from her. He assists her since she is visually impaired. She's had macular degenera- tion for 23 years and it has got- ten progressively worse. "I used to live on another street over, but I sold it. I did- n't like being alone after my wife died. That's not good for you," Cavallaro said. In February 2004, Albecker went to get her dog and Cavallaro stepped in to take care of her. "When she left to pick up her seeing eye dog, Winston, a black lab, I told her not to worry about anything. I'd take care of her house." CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun Following a three hour party at the Buttonwood Bay RV & Mobile Home Park's recreation center in his honor last Sunday, Mike Cavallaro, who will turn 103 this Sunday, went for a two and a half hour pon- toon boat ride. Enjoying the ride are (from left) Darryl Gibbs, Helen Kunz, Cavallaro and JoAnn Carter, who is Kunz's daughter. SUE ANN CARPENTER/News-Sun Mike Cavallaro pets Winston, a black labrador owned by Ursula Albecker. Albecker, who is watching over her dog, is Cavallaro's landlady and friend. "It was great, I didn't have to do a thing. I just left. And when I came back, he asked me if he could rent my spare room," Albecker said. "Neither of us wanted to be alone. He's my friend and my boarder. And he's also a great cook. Give him half an hour and he's got something ready to eat." Albecker was born in Berlin, Germany and came to the United States in 1929. She and her husband lived in New York and moved to Sebring in 1991. Her husband died in 2000. "We share jobs that each one of us can do best. For instance, he likes to shop and cook. Plus he always shops for bar- gains just like I always did. We do a lot together like making muffins today. I told him how and he mixed it up and we put them in the oven together. He knows he's needed. He has a purpose and that's what keeps him going." As for other women in his life, "I don't have any girl- friends. When my friends see me with a bunch of girls, they tease me. I say, 'It's OK. I'm harmless.' Cavallaro said. Cavallaro admitted he did have a bad habit, but has always took care of his body by eating right. "As for bad habits, I smoked until I was 48 then finally quit, because I developed sinus trou- ble. I always lived right, ate good meals, and was blessed with a wife who was an excel- lent cook. I've drunk wine since I was 4. Of course it was mixed with water. Back then a gallon of wine was only $1," Cavallaro said. "I've always eaten lots of vegetables every meal. I used to pick something that was like spinach that grew around the corn stalks. It was very green and bitter. We'd pour the greens and the soup from it onto homemade bread that Mom always baked. It was delicious," Cavallaro said. "My advice is to do the right things and God will help you." Buttonwood Bay celebrated Cavallaro's 103rd birthday May 1 at the recreation center. And on May 6, Cavallaro will celebrate with his singles gang. "We'll be going out on the town that night," Cavallaro said.

Ilr~rin9 By SHARON JONES News-Sun "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" may not mark the end of the world as we know it, but it may be a sign that the last days are at hand for Doug Adams' commercial value at least as far as Hollywood is concerned. Since the popular book was published in 1979, it has become the unofficial philoso- phy manual for college boys and the subject of more than one British miniseries. It's hard to believe that 26 years has passed since the release of that cult classic that is, until you see the new Touchstone Pictures movie, which lands on screens like an artifact of that long-ago period. Cheesy sets, second-rate cos- tumes, and a plot that is cobbled together from comic sketches may capture the essence of "Hitchhiker" its fans, it seems, are pleased with it. If you're not a fan or familiar with the concept, you may be sorry you came along for the ride. Through the characters' good-natured anti-social behav- ior, Adams gently pokes fun at authority figures and social conventions. In the books, Adams' nonsensical commen- taries on life may have seemed slyly smart. In the movie they are artificially precocious, as if the author or perhaps the scriptwriters in this case set- tled for a limp imitation of Monty Python and Dave Berry. The "Hitchhiker" saga is told the exploits of Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), a British slacker who.gets whisked off to a cosmic adventure when he loses both house and home. Just as his house is about to be lev- 'Upside ol By SHAROONJONES News-Sun Truth be told, there is no "Upside'of Anger." Thi's'c6idy-drhma' has its - ups and downs. The ups are the casting of Joan Allen and Kevin Costner as. older lovers in scenes that are witty and smart. Among the downs are cloyingly tearful scenes and an ending that changes everything par- ticularly the good opinion you may have formed of these char- acters. The frequently dour Joan Allen seems to be getting better with age. In "The Upside of Anger," playing an abandoned woman raising four nearly grown daughters, Allen delivers a performance that's so perfect it's almost scary. She is funny, sarcastic, dead-on serious and mean in the same scene and often in the same line of dia- logue. After series of career-busting flops, Costner returns to a light romantic part that serves him well as a rootless ex-athlete and lothario whose career has passed him by and who needs the love of a good woman to set him straight. (Think "Bull Durham" and "Tin Cup.") Throughout most of "Anger" and until that self-defeating eled to make way for a new highway, Earth, an inconse- quential planet, is blasted to make make way for a new inter- galactic bypass. Arthur is rescued by his friend Ford Prefect (Mos Def), a planet-hopping alien who writes a travelogue series called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." As they sail through the universe together, they encounter various alternate forms of life the Jabba the Hut-like Vogons, a creator of custom-made planets called Slartibartfast (Bill Nighy), and Humma Kavula (John Malkovich), a mystical guru who believes his home planet was came into being when God sneezed. Humma, by the way, was created by Adams specifi- cally for the movie. After eluding the Vogons, Arthur and Ford are picked up by Zaphod Beeblebox (Sam Rockwell), the two-headed rock 'n roll president of the galaxy, who looks like a cross between David Lee Roth and Jeff Foxworthy and has comman- deered a space ship. Zaphod's assistants are Trillian (Zooey Deschanel), Arthur's love inter- est, and a manically depressed robot named Marvin (played by Warwick Davis, voiced by Alan Rickman). While evading the Vogons, who want their ship back, the group experiences the universe and its weird plants, and under- take all kinds of adventurous risks that try Arthur's patience. Eventually, they get around to looking for the big question - what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything - although the answer is hardly worth the trouble. If you didn't News-Sun, Friday, May 6, 2005 DIVERSIONS 'Guide' belongs to 'Hitchhiker' fans 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' lands in theaters with (from left) Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, Sam Rockwell as Zaphod. Beeblebrox, Mos Def as Ford Prefect and Zooey Deschanel as Trillian. know it was love already, you're probably too young to be in movies. Background information on the aliens and their strange practices is explained through animation and the narration by Stephen Fry. This more non- sense goes a long way toward making you not care about any of it. Because the characters are equally undeveloped and under- used, they all blend into the scenery, making it hard to know which ones to pay attention to or care about. As it turns out, the most memorable character is a very brief ghostly computer image played by the original Arthur in the British T.V. series, Simon Jones. Unlike the Pythons, who pro- duced brilliantly abstract come- dy that had a context in reality, "Hitchhiker" is juvenile non- sense. For example, you may think it's funny that president Zaphod wears an orange juicer for a hat and has to squeeze lemons regularly to keep his brain working, and you may laugh when Arthur's gang finds itself under attack by sand-bur- rowing flyswatters while exploring a barren planet. The bigger odds are that unless you happen to have an orange juicer on your own head you won't. Released by Touchstone Pictures, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is rated PG for thematic elements, action and mild language. Running time: I hour, 50 min- utes. It is playing at Fairmount Cinema 6, 3750 U.S. 27 North, Sebring; 385-9980. Sharon Jones has a master's degree in film from the American University in Washington, D.C.

Anger' goes right, then wrong ending Allen and Costner are dazzling even when they're behaving badly, which is most of the time. They make a better and more mature couple than Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton did a few years ago in the popular but horrible "Something's Gotta Give." "Anger" covers three years in the life of the Wolfmyer family, starting at the point when Allen's Terry comes to believe her husband left her for his Swedish secretary to the point that she finds out what really happened. Abandonment causes the for- merly nice, sweet Terry to do an about-face drowning her anger in alcohol and developing a tongue so sharp it could slice through brick walls. Because Allen is so funny and believable as a jilted wife with runaway emotions, she dominates this film. It becomes Costner's job to take the edge off. Costner does that as Denny - a fallen baseball star who cheer- fully floats through life in a semi-drunken stupor and who has no qualms about prostitut- ing his former celebrity for pid- dling returns. Denny may have always had an eye for Terry, but when she has a meltdown, he wheedles his way into her life - first as her friendly drinking buddy and then as her casual bedmate. From this morass of human emotions and failure comes a sweet, tentative relationship, built on hurt, resentment, mis- trust and the knowledge that neither of these parties would look twice at the other under happier circumstances. Depending on her quick- shifting moods, Terry finds Denny repulsive and attractive - it even makes her angry that she finds herself liking him. For his part, Denny keeps their rela- tionship at arm's length because he expects, that like every other good thing in his life, the affair won't last long. Complicating matters and adding to Terry's overflowing frustrations are four girls who seem determined to do whatev- er they want, regardless of mom's opinion of it. Personality-wise, the oldest daughter, Hadley (Alicia Witt), is the spitting image of Terry and not intimidated by her out- bursts. Andy (Erika Christensen) irks Terry by get- ting a job instead of going to college and then having an affair with her much-older boss. Emily (Keri Russell), the intro- spective daughter, wants to be a dancer, despite Terry's objec- tions, while the youngest daughter "Popeye" (Evan Rachel Wood) coasts quietly through the family turmoil with some degree of wisdom. The family scenes have the bite of reality they are horri- ble and hilarious. That makes them tolerable, even watchable, when they recycle common chick-flick problems, like sud- den illness and the possible loss of a child. The ending, though, is a stun- ner perhaps more so than the filmmakers meant it to be and it will and should change your opinion of everything that has gone on before. You'll find out that Terry's problems were not what you think they were, and she was the one who let her husband down. When a movie glorifies a hurt woman's emo- tions and dispenses of men casually, it's a bit hard to embrace it. Released by New Line Cinema, "The Upside ofAnger" is rated Rfor language, situations, brief comic violence and some drug use. Running time: 1 hour; 58 minutes.

My mother has a beautiful home and friends in a community that she loves but not a lot of income. Recently, she told me that she gifted her house to the Ridge Area Arc Foundation through a Life Estate Gift Annuity. It is very similar to a reverse mortgage in that it uses her home to create income, but this way she can ensure she and Daddy will always be remembered. I remember thinking not what a gift my mother has given her community but rather what a gift my mother is to her community. Ridge Area Arc Foundation, Inc.

David Aguila will be playing his trumpet at the concert along with other local musicians and singers. Donations will be accepted to help cover his trav- eling expenses to an interna- tional music program at Figeac, France. Aguila was one of 70 musi- cians selected from all over the United States to take part in Blue Lake En France, a pro- gram dedicated to advancing friendship, music and an under- standing of languages. American musicians will be joining young French and German musicians from June 21-25. Aguila needs to raise $4,000 to cover his traveling expenses. So far, he has received $2,200 from community organizations and individuals. Also appearing at Sunday's concert will be Jorge Martinez on the clarinet, Ryan Sands and Tim Wheaton on alto saxo- phones,Arnaldo Lopez on tenor saxophone, Chris Brown on baritone saxophone, Travis Baker on the snare drum, Dr. Robert Fritz on the organ and Carol LaPerriere on the piano. The concert will begin at 4 p.m. at St. Agnes Episcopal Church, 3840 Lakeview Drive. Checks should be made payable to the Sebring Band Boosters Association. Donations received in excess of Aguila's expenses will go to Sebring High School band scholarships. Aguila's trumpet-playing skills have earned him numer- ous accolades and advanced learning opportunities. He received superior ratings at the district and state Florida Bandmasters Association solo and ensemble contests, and he attended the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Michigan in 2004 and 2005. Aguila plays with the South Florida Community College Highlands County Concert Band and is the first trumpet in the SFCC Brass Choir. He played solo trumpet in the Sebring High School Blue Streak Band and was a guest trumpeter at St. Agnes' Easter Mass for the past two years. Those who trust God are in good hands For many years a certain insurance company has had at its catchy slogan: r, "You're In Good Hands..." The television ads often pictured a fami- ly watching their house go up in flames, or experienc- A Mi ing some other kind WITH of disaster which destroys their person- Rev. R al property. The point FE of the ad is: Have no fear, Allstate is here. After all, when disas- ters strike, those who have insurance policies with that company can still know they are in "good hands," because the company claims it will reimburse adequately and quickly for damages. We who watch the ad know that the insurance company is not making a blanket-guarantee always to ensure safety and per- fect restoration no matter what may happen. Have you ever heard of an insurance company settling a claim for damage that is brought on by worry or by guilt? Will you be in "good hands" with an insurance com- pany on the day of your death? Real protection, real com- forting and assuring security can only come from above. It can only come from Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, who is the one eternal God. The psalmist speaks of him this MOMENT SGOD Richard ,ffe way: "The Lord will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." There comes a time when the coverage from an insurance company runs out; but God's protection in ongoing - it is forevermore! In John, 10:27-28, Jesus says, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." God himself has reached into our lives. The Good Shepherd came after us. He gathers his sheep because he loves us and doesn't want us to end up following Satan into his trap of hell. For this reason Jesus made it so that you and I would find ourselves secure in his good hands. By the grace of God and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we sinners have been moved to lis- ten to the voice of our Good Shepherd. Jesus says: "My sheep listen to my voice..." What he is referring to, of course, is the word of God- that's his voice. Through the word of God-by grace and the power of his word-we have been gathered into his fold. We are in his hands. No insurance company can give us the real protection we need. They offer no security against the guilt-ridden con- science, worry, death, our own sinful nature, and the devil. I have never heard of an insur- ance company that claimed a person's soul is in good hands against all sin, death, and the devil. Jesus is the only one who can make such a claim and back it up. Our Good Shepherd gave his life for our salvation. He suf- fered and died so that his sheep would have eternal life in heav- en. He has made us this promise and no matter what we may have done he is ready and will- ing to forgive and welcome you back into his fold. We have his promise t6 never leave us or forsake us. In his hands we are offered free for- giveness, life, and salvation. Hear his voice today as he calls you when he says, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." We truly are IN GOOD HANDS! The Rev.
