Wildstein and the Alan Jay Automotive Network donate about 400 books a year to second-graders at Sun 'N Lake.

conference

By BARRY FOSTER
News-Sun
SEBRING A group of Highlands County officials spent
the past week at the Tampa Convention Center for the annual
Governor's Hurricane Conference.
"This year is a lot better attended than it has been in years
past," Highlands County Director of Emergency Management
Bill Nichols said Thursday.
In fact, there are between 700-800 additional attendees at
this year's event. Organizers said they reached capacity for this
year's conference, noting that the exhibit hall was sold out and
participants had been farmed out to at least eight different
hotels in the area.
Seminars went from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Wednesday, with topics such as "What Volunteer Managers
Want Emergency Managers to Know and Vice Versa" and "The
Donations Game Made GOOD."
"It seems to be a lot of lessons learned from last hurricane
season by various counties and they are sharing experiences,"
Nichols said.
There were operational seminars on such things as incident-
command systems for law enforcement, public works and the
emergency operations center. Other training sessions included
damage assessment, media strategies and meeting the needs of
the undocumented.
There also was a full slate of workshops scheduled with
instructional on temporary housing, public health and even
how tourism is affected by the onset of a big storm.

SEBRING The Sebring
Planning and Zoning Board has
recommended the Wolf Creek
subdivision for approval.
Sebring City Administrator
Bob Hoffman said city planners
drew up development orders for
both Viscaya Lakes and Wolf
Creek that were identical to
what they had approved by. the
county commission, before they
were annexed into the city.
Viscaya Lakes got recom-
mended for approval right
away. Wolf Creek took some
negotiation, Hoffman said, but
apparently the density has been
lowered.
At the county level, Hoffman

said, Wolf Creek had 665
homes, but now has 170. That
includes 45 lakefront proper-
ties, two entrance/exits on State
Road 66 and one on Sparta
Road.
The development will use
city water and sewer and will
have no commercial develop-
ment, as originally requested.
Hoffman said Wolf Creek is
one of several developments
included in the city's latest
large scale plan amendment,
which includes seven develop-
ments in all.
As long as the developments
are urban growth and not
"sprawl," and have water and
sewer lines, the Department of
Community Affairs tends to

Cash for 'Consequences'

CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun
April Adams, president of the Sebring Noon Kiwanis Club, pres-
ents checks for $6,000 and $1,000 to the Highlands County
School District. The money will be used to provide every fourth-
grader in the county with Judge Clifton Kelly's book on law
education, and all eighth-graders a Consequences of Crime cur-
riculum. Kiwanis has provided these, or similar, materials for
about 20 years.

Downtown Sebring to

approve them, Hoffman said.
Sebring has very few unde-
veloped lots inside the city, he
said. Having room for public
parks is difficult, but developers
are asked by the state to set
aside a certain percentage of the
acres as "green space" pub-
lic natural areas.
Traffic
Sebring Police Chief Tom
Dettman said, until the area is
developed, the Florida
Highway Patrol and Highlands
County Sheriff's Office would
still patrol the State Road 66
and Sparta Road intersection.
If an increase in traffic caus-
es future accidents' then the
state may look at improving the

intersection with a light, but
that depends on the types of
accidents, Dettman said.
Sometimes simple enforce-
ment will fix accidents from
people failing to yield to the SR
66 traffic, he said.
County concerns
County commissioners were
concerned Tuesday that Wolf
Creek's new owners might get
out of having to make road
improvements to handle any
increase in traffic.
Development Service
Director Jim Polatty told com-
missioners the city council
would take county's develop-
ment order and adopt the condi-
tions the county had approved.

However, county attorney Ross
Macbeth said the city doesn't
have to adopt the county's con-
ditions once it annexes new
property.
Commissioner Bob Bullard
said the county and city should
never do anything near city lim-
its without first consulting the
other. Developers may like to
do "zoning shopping" and cut a
deal to annex into the city,
Bullard said, "but they can't cut
out improvements that affect
the neighbors."

Polatty was at Tuesday's city
zoning board meeting to make
their views known on the Wolf
Creek issue.

Stalled on parking, council

agrees to more discussion

News-Sun
LAKE PLACID The Lake
Placid Town Council is looking
to resolve parking issues in
what is becoming a more con-
gested downtown area.
On Monday Town Attorney
Bert J. Harris III had planned to
present the council with a draft
of a parking ordinance for its
consideration, but instead he
moved parking to the discus-
sion portion of the meeting.
Since parking spaces have
become premium in the down-
town area, Harris had suggested
that the council endorse a new
law that said if the use of a
business changed so that it
would require more parking
than it had in the past the
business owner would have to
provide the additional parking.
For new construction, that is
already the case. The new busi-

ness is required to install its
own parking spaces, and the
number of spaces are based on
the square footage of the build-
ing. If the building is expanded,
then additional parking spaces
must be added.
Councilwoman Debra
Worley objected to the direction
Harris proposed. She said that if
a business owner was limited in
the profitability he could
achieve from his business -
because he was unable to pro-
vide additional parking that
amounted to a "taking" of his
property.
Worley said downtown busi-
nesses should not see their use
restricted because'of a lack of
parking when in many of
those areas, there is no vacant
property to use for parking. She
believed that businesses like
restaurants for example would

favored Harris' approach. They
said they wanted to protect

'V Highlands County report

Alleged robber

caught at

traffic stop
SEBRING Police
caught an alleged robber
Saturday after stopping a car
that met a witness' descrip-
tion.
They arrested Brandon
Sims, 40, of Sebring, on
charges of robbery, battery
and possession of drug para-
phernalia.
At 5:32 a.m. Saturday,
police arrived at an alleged
robbery at Inn on the Lakes
in Sebring. At the same time
that a vehicle matching a
description from the robbery
report was spotted, it was
stopped and the driver
detained.
An
employee was
making cof-
fee and saw a
White

Sparked in
SIMS front of the
hotel, and figured someone
wanted to check in. The
employee walked to the front
desk and met Sims walking
from behind it, reports said.
Sims allegedly held two
fingers like a gun barrel to the
employee's neck and told him
to open the cash register.
Knowing Sims didn't have a
gun, the employee said no.
Sims allegedly punched him
in the chest and repeated the
demand, but the employee
still said no.
This time, reports said,
Sims hit him in the face, so
he fought back. They fought
approximately 10 minutes
before he was able to get
away from Sims and call 911.
Sims allegedly, ried to
hang up the phone, but could-
n't, so he left in the white
Caprice.
Police escorted the victim
to tohe traffic isop and he posi-

When police arrested Sims,
they found an alleged crack

about the incident, he said he

Medina

charged with

firearm after

rifle standoff
LAKE PLACID A local
rifle standoff in March ended
without anyone firing a shot.
One man, however, has
since been charged under
warrants for possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon
and improper exhibit of a
firearm.
S. Robert
Francis
S: Medina, 32,
of Lake
S Placid, also
has charges
for failure to
A appear in
court on
another charge. Total bail is
set at $7,500.
The incident took place at
10 p.m. March 16. Two men
had arrived at a Sarasota
Street address, one of them
wanting to see the children,
who were related to him. The
man in charge of the house at
the time said no, because it
was too late and they were
Asleep.
The relative insisted and
the man continued to say,
"no."
Another man inside the
house became angry at the
visitors and began to yell out
of the house at him,
Soon, according to com-
plaint affidavits, both visitors
were arguing with the second
man, who had walked outside
the house into the front yard.
Then the second man and
second visitor began fighting.
The second visitor alleged-
ly pulled a seven-inch pocket
knife and approached the sec-
ond mar.. \\ho found an alu-
minum rod on the grohud.'
Reports said he picked it up
and swung it to protect him-
self, hitting his assailant in

the head. The two visitors ran
away.
About 20 minutes later,
they returned in a red Dodge
Neon with Medina, who
allegedly was armed with a
rifle with a laser sight. It was
on and illuminating the side
of the house, reports said.
By this time, the two chil-
dren, ages 9 and 3, were out-
side because they had heard
the arguing and fighting.
The first man who had
refused to let them wake the
children asked if Medina had
a firearm. Medina allegedly
answered, "Yes, and I'm
going to shoot someone."
Afraid Medina would shoot
him and the children, the first
man went inside the house,
loaded three rounds into his
rifle in self-defense -
according to reports then
stepped outside and cham-
bered one round.
Again, this caused all the
visitors to flee.

Alleged burglar

caught running

from scene
SEBRING A man was
arrested Monday after
allegedly breaking into the
office at his trailer park. A
witness had apparently seen
him run out of the office and
into another trailer at 542
Pomegranate Aye.
At 5:35 p.m. Monday,
Sebring police arrived at the
trailer park and eventually
arrested and charged Charles
Edward Jones, 40, of Sebring,
with burglary.
Incident reports state that
the manager unlocked the
office at 5:20 p.m. that day to
gather some papers and saw
Jones standing in the office.
Jones immediately ran out the
back door, reports said, and
into Trailer 10.
The rear door showed fresh
pry marks on the door. When
questioned, Jones said he was
not in the office and knew
that no one had been in the
office after 5 p.m.
However, due to his trailers
proximitN 10 feet away.--
his knowledge of the office
hours, and the nianager'Ltes--
timony, he was arrested and
charged.

Dump truck rolls over on Memorial Drive

hill into truck, SUV

By PHIL ATTINGER
News-Sun
LAKE PLACID No one
was hurt but a driver got cited
for faulty. equipment last
Wednesday when his citrus
truck rolled downhill into two
other trucks in the Winn-Dixie
parking lot.
At about 3:45 p.m. May 4,
Joseph Florvilus, 57, a worker
for Kahn. Groves, had parked a
citrus "goat" an open-cab
truck that carries large plastic
tubs for harvested citrus -
behind Burger King in Lake
Placid. He stepped inside to get
lunch.
According to Lake Placid
police, he set the parking brake,
but it didn't hold.
The "goat," listed as a 1973
Ford truck, rolled down the hill

into a 2000 Ford pickup and a
2001. Dodge Durrango, hitting
both at the same time.
"It was a little shocking,".
said 34-year-old Ann Whidden,
owner of the Durrango.
Whidden's mother, Emma
"Jennett" Carroll, 60, of Lake
Placid, was in the Dodge
Durrango and didn't have time
to escape.
It had been raining that day.
Whidden had just driven
Carroll back from Tampa where
she was receiving cancer treat-
ment. Carroll didn't feel well
enough to go into Movie
Gallery with her daughter.
Sometime after Whidden
went inside, the grove goat -
loaded down with citrus tubs
and pulling a trailer with a Port-
O-Let started rolling.

Apparently, it had no air brakes.
It caught the Ford truck,.twirled
it, and dragged it along when it
rammed the driver's door of the
Durrango.
A male bystander leapt onto
the' goat, got it in gear and
backed it up, but couldn't set
the brakes. A female bystander
was telling Carroll she had to
get out.
Carroll got the doors
unlocked and had to climb out
of the driver's side, because the
Durrango was pushed against
the other truck.
Other people blocked the
wheels to keep the goat from
rolling again.
Police cited Florvilus with a
non-moving violation of faulty
equipment, since he .wasn't in
the driver's seat at the time.

Barry University graduates first satellite class

By BARRY FOSTER
News-Sun
AVON PARK South
Florida Community College
hosted a very special graduation
ceremony Wednesday night.
It was the inaugural graduat-
ing class for Barry University's
bachelor degree program in
professional studies and public
administration at SFCC.
In all, nine seniors received
their diplomas from the south
Florida-based school.
South Florida Community
College President Dr. Norman
Stephens gave the keynote
address to the seniors, empha-
sizing the importance of educa-
tion both on and off the campus.
Barry University began
classes at the SFCC University
Center in August 2003.
"Because most of our stu-
dents transfer in 60 credits from
a community college or up to
90 from another accredited
school, some of the students
graduated very quickly," said
Judie Arnold, an on-site aca-
demic advisor for the program.
She said the program offers
convenience and flexibility,
starting two new classes every
nine weeks. The accelerated
schedule with courses both on
Saturday and in the evenings is
designed for older, adult stu-
dents.
"It really is geared toward the

Additionally, Arnold said
students may also get credit for
professional work experience
and community activities
through what Barry University
officials have termed their
"portfolio" option.
College credit also is granted
for licenses such as law
enforcement, corrections, fire-
fighting and insurance, among
others.
Laura White, associate dean

university relations at South
Florida Community College,
called the ceremony a "gradua-
tion celebration," which will be
the first of its kind on the SFCC
campus.
"Students generally graduate
on the campuses of our partner
universities," White said.
"Because Barry is down in
Miami Shores, this group
decided to hold their graduation
here so more of their family and
friends could attend."
Barry University was found-
ed by the Dominican Sisters of
Adrian, Mich., in 1940.
Currently there are some 9,000
students studying in satellite
classes throughout the state of
Florida.
Although the main campus is
in Miami Shores, there are
more than 20 satellite locations
throughout the Sunshine State.
Its 10 schools offer more than

50 graduate and 60 undergradu-
ate programs.
It is one of eight universities
that has a joint participation
program with SFCC, offering
13 different programs, includ-
ing a pair of master's degree
programs.
The University Program first
started at the Highlands County
community college in 1999.
White said a program offer-
ing a master's degree in coun-
seling and another in business
administration are on the hori-
zon.
"Those are part of our vision
for the next set of options we'd
like to be able to deliver local-
ly," she said.
Nearly 100 people including
graduates, family and friends
attended the short ceremony,
which was held in the SFCC
University Center's auditorium.

SEBRING When children
arri e at the Children's Home
Society Hansen Center, they
don't have much more thanmthe-
clothes on their.backs.
Caregivers at the home hope
to send the children off with
lo\e and the hope of a better
life. To do that, they need help.
A. Loraine Harrell, develop-
ment specialist with the
Children's Home Society of
Florida, is out in Highlands
County telling civic groups and
other community-minded peo-
ple how Sebring's Hansen
House needs volunteers.
Hansen Center, also called
Hansen House, can house 20
children and is always full, she
said.
Some of the children can be a
handful, emotionally, Harrell
said. The Hansen Center is a
licensed emergency shelter and
care program for children who
have been removed from their
homes because abuse, neglect,
or simply a lack of love and dis-

cipline.
Some have behavior prob-
lems, Harrell said. Basically,
they mimic the way they have
been handled.
'- "These kids deserve to be,
loved and nurtured," Harrell
said.
Harrell would like to start up
a local auxiliary for anyone
who's willing to help the
Hansen House, as well as a
foundation to pay for psycho-
logical therapy. Of course, any-
thing will help: A group of peo-
ple scheduling a recreation day
with the children, an individual
teaching them something they
know to do, or a volunteer care-
giver to simply tuck them in at
night.
Hansen House is in the
process of hiring certified care
workers to help the staff work
directly with the kids. Right
now, they are working double
shifts, and getting tired.
Anyone wanting to volunteer
at the Hansen House should call

Sebring's historic fire station on list for repair money

By BARRY FOSTER
News-Sun
SEBRING Construction
on the historic Sebring Fire
Department's downtown station
could begin within a couple of
weeks.
Sebring Community Rede-
velopment Agency Executive
Director Pete Pollard delivered
the news in a good-news, bad-
news, good-news scenario.

UPDATE
Continued from 1A
in their individual classes and
seminars, the conference
brought them a wonderful
opportunity to network.
"There's just a whole bunch
of folks over here from various
agencies that you can talk with,
plus there are a lot of vendors,"
he said. "A lot of people just
have a lot of good information
to share."
Nearly every facet of
Highlands County government
was represented at the forum,
including County Administrator
Carl Cool, Public Information
Officer Sarah Beth Hopton, E-
911 Coordinator ,Ben Henley,
Development Director Jim
Polatty and Parks and
Recreation Director Vicky
Pontius among others.
In his opening remarks on
Monday, Gov. Jeb Bush urged
all Floridians to be prepared for
the upcoming hurricane season.
"The 2004 hurricane season
impacted every Floridian,"
Bush said. "Last year taught us
to further educate ourselves on
disaster preparedness. This year

Apparently the city will be
getting money in the form of a
historic preservation grant for
work on the structure, which
suffered damage due to last
year's hurricanes. However,
because the project was ranked
dead last, it would not be the
full amount.
"There were over 100 appli-
cations and we ranked 47,"
Pollard said. "That was the last

I urge all Floridians to prepare
now, have a plan and stay
aware."
He made it plain that the state
would try and encourage people
across the Sunshine State to get
ready, using a positive impact
on their pocketbook. Bush
announced his intention to sign
legislation establishing a sales
tax holiday on items to prepare
for a hurricane.
The sales tax holiday, from
June 1-12, includes:
Flashlights under $20,
Weather radios, portable
radios or two-way radios under
$50,
First aid kits under $50,
Gas or diesel fuel tanks
under $25,
Flexible water proof sheet-
ing under $50,
Ground anchor system or
tie-down kit under $30,
Regular types of portable
light batteries under $30,
Non-electrical food cool-
ers under $30, and
Portable generators under
$750.
Bush also pledged to sign a
measure improving and reform-
ing homeowners property
insurance.

one on the list that would be
able to get money from the
$12.5 million pool."
The city had asked for
$350,000 to do the work on the
downtown landmark, but
because of the ranking number,
Pollard estimated it would be
significantly less than the
request.
"We'll get what's left over in
the pool," he said. "We're antic-

Among other things, the law
provides consumers with the
option of a hurricane deductible
of 2, 5 or 10 percent. It also
would require insurance com-
panies to provide clear informa-
tion about policy coverage and
mandates them to highlight dis-
counts that homeowners can
receive for home improve-
ments.
Other provisions require
insurance companies to provide
optional coverage for rebuild-
ing older homes to newer build-
ing codes.
The conference winds up
today.

ipating that will be around
$132,000."
However, Pollard said that it
also appeared that the city's
insurance company would be
picking up the tab for repairs to
the historic spire, which had at
one time been used for drying
hoses.
"The insurance will pay for
that damage and we will be get-
ting money from the Federal
Emergency Management Ag-
ency for the deductible,"
Pollard said.

ing done the restoration plan for
the Amtrak depot project.
"It was ironic that they
should hire her," Pollard said.
"She's already been here and
looked at the project and
stopped by the depot to take a
look at it."
There is no bottom line on
the project yet,. inasmuch as the
funding will be a combination
of money from the state, the
insurance policy, FEMA and
matching grant funds from the
city.

quite sure what the county

be able to do out of the money
that will be available," Pollard
said.
Right now, the architect and
the contractor are working on
cost estimates for the amount of
work that needs to be done.
Even so, Pollard said some of
the work could start as early as
the first week in June.
"We're coming up on hurri-
cane season again and we need
to get some of this done," he
said. "It's important to get in
there and get that thing stabi-
lized."

she said.
The TDC also recommended
the county bid out the job of

TDC. Nancy Currie was the
administrative assistant, but

temporary assistant has been

ished a six-year building pro-

portable classrooms. The
_ school district is upto -130

had money from the tax in time
to cancel those, he said.
Funding options
Impact fees, Cox said, don't
typically bring in money
schools need. It's assessed on
new construction and growth,
so it wouldn't start paying for
the current shortfalls for quite
some time.
A bond issue, based on
increases in real estate taxes,
requires another vote of the
people, and is less likely to
pass, Cox said. Even though the
county saw a $500 million
increase in taxable value, only

about 45 percent of the county's
population pays property tax.
They already pay 40 percent of
the school district's general
operating fund and $2 million
into the district's capital
improvement fund. Cox figures
that's enough.
Cox didn't spend any extra
,..udget. to sell the idea to the.
voters, just time and energy.-He
and Averyt worked up a presen-
tation using an in-house
PowerPoint program.
Dedicated parents and volun-
teers helped spread the word
while he spoke to local civic
groups and print and radio
news.
"I always said, 'If the parents
and staff didn't support it, we
didn't have a chance.' Cox
added. "Based on the numbers,
they didn't, in my opinion."
.The school district has
18,000 parents and 2,000
employees. Voter turnout was
12 percent Tuesday 4,705
voters opposed the measure.
while 2,618 voted for it.

Tax deeds getting cleared

News-Sun
Each year, tax certificates are
issued .on the delinquent taxes
from the year before. Those tax
certificates are assigned to the
county at the open of the tax
certificate sale, on or before
June 1 each year.
However, Highlands County
has seen several thousand tax
certificates bought 'or paid off
since April 29.

In 2002, the county had
11,400 tax certificates. At the
end of April this year, 6,022 had
been cleared.
In 2003, the county had
19,683 tax certificates. At the
end of April this year, 15,140
had been cleared.
In 2004, the county had

16,388 tax certificates. At the
end of April this year, 12,740
had been cleared.

peak of their earning potential,
and with no confidence in the
stock market, have turned to
real estate for investment.
That's especially true with
attractive capital gains laws and
low interest rates.
With crowded conditions on
the Florida coast, Highlands
County looks very attractive for
settling down, McIntyre said.
Taxable value has gone up
$500 million, or will by the
time the tax roll is ready on July
1, McIntyre said. That's a 13
percent increase over last year.
Many buyers are buying for
investment. McIntyre has seen
one particular lot come through
his office four times in the last
year, starting at $8,000 value,
and gradually ramping up to
$22,000.
Empty land is a good invest-
ment when people do their
homework, Bryan said. Some
people are still buying site-
unseen; others are getting good
deals.

Real-estate activity has
woken up some people who
didn't know they had delin-
quent taxes or hadn't recorded
their deeds, Bryan said.
Whether homeowners have
received offers to pay their
delinquent taxes for them or
offers to buy their property,
they've been prompted to file
their deeds at the courthouse
and clear their taxes.
The clerk of the courts office
recently asked the county com-
mission to amend its budget to
pay for more help with record-
ing deeds. Bryan's staff is
cross-trained, so while he's not
asking for any more staff, he
did say those he does have are
running hard.
Right now, his staff is having
to field questions on everything
having to do with tax deeds,
and can't educate people within
the space of one phone call, he
said. His staff recommends
people educate themselves by
visiting the Web site at
www.hctaxcollector.com and
then call 402-6685 with more
specific questions.

After one year on the job, Boys &

has passed
since the city

ner of Highlands and
East Center avenues
was converted into the

GARRISON

Sebring Boys & Girls Club.
Just over a year ago, Heather
Garrison began overseeing pro-
grams for the dozens of young-
sters who go to the center near-
ly every day.
"It's been interesting, it's
been good," Garrison said this
week as she reflected on her
first year.
Early last year Garrison
came to Highlands County
from Pennsylvania where she
was the executive director of a
chapter of Big Brothers/Big
Sisters.
When she took over, the
Boys & Girls Club had been
without an executive director
for about three months.
"It was a little like having to
start from scratch," Garrison
said. "We had to restart a lot of
things."
Many improvements have
been made over the past 14
months, and Garrison said
there is room for many more.'
"We want things to be per-
fect, I guess," she said. "We
always want things to be far-
ther ahead than they are."
As she pointed out: "Some
things just take time."
Garrison said the quality of
service has improved over
what it had been year ago.

Project LEARN has
been enhanced. That
includes the addition of
more technology and
better work with the
youngsters in regard to
their educational needs.
The life skills pro-
gram has been rejuve-
nated. Now, a new

group of youngsters is learning
the rudimentary parts of the
program, while a group of
older youth are undertaking a
more advanced program.
One of the problems is the
center itself. The club leases
the city-owned building for
what Garrison called "a very
attractive price," and yet the
structure is showing signs of
age ranging from malfunc-
tions in the electrical system to
the air-conditioner.
Business and organizations
have helped with cosmetic
improvements. A team from
The Home Depot painted the
interior. The exterior is set to
be painted and landscaped by
members of the Modem
Woodsmen, who are also sup-
plying the materials.
The workday will be Friday
during Join Hands Day, a
national community service
day, Garrison said.
The new facade will be a big
plus for the club's recruitment
efforts.
"We'.re very excited. This is
the place where these kids can
go. It is their place it needs
to be inviting, it needs to be
fun, it needs to be friendly and
,it-needs to bl .jpp.,linii:."
Garrison said. And I think this
work will help make it all of

those things.
Increasing teen outreach is
one of Garrison's goals for the
coming months. At present,
membership primarily consists
of elementary school students
with a sprinkling of middle
schoolers.
"Programs for the teens will
be our focus for the fall,"
Garrison said.
That creates a Catch-22 situ-
ation, she noted. Participants
are needed to take part in the
programs, and programs must
be in place to attract the partic-
ipants.
.-An.tilici problem for .
Garrison is keeping board
members. She expects to

rm-7
Mk"3^ fa==w

launch an effort to recruit new
board members this summer.
"We have a real good group
of people on our board, but the
members keep getting reas-
signed and move out of the
area," she said.
The summer is the club's
busiest time of year. Not only
does it attract more youngsters,
Garrison said, but the building
is open longer.
"That's when we have our
eight-week summer camp for
boys and girls 6-14 years of
age," she said.
It begins June 6 and is com-
prised of a number of programs
including volunteer and leader-
ship opportunities for older

teens.
This year's program may be
more structured. More field
trips may be part of the sched-
ule since the club has received
the donation of a van from
Chaney's Used Cars.
"That also will give us the
opportunities for more rewards
and incentives for involvement
and good behavior," she said.
Each of the eight weeks will
have a different thbme, and
Garrison plans to challenge the
youngsters to come up with a
community service project.
For information about sum-
mer camp or any of the club's
regular activities, call 385-
9652.

Avon Park High presents annual awards to seniors

New-Sun
AVON PARK Families
and graduating seniors gathered
at Avon Park High School
Tuesday to celebrate their best
and brightest in a two-hour cer-
emony marked with emotion,
pride and joy.
Thirty-eight scholarships and
special awards were distributed
to 55 students.
Principal John Russ wel-
comed parents. With emotion
and admiration, he described
the daunting challenges the sen-
iors and their teachers had faced
throughout the school year, fol-
lowing the hurricane damage of
last August.
"This special assembly is for
a select group we're very proud
of," Russ said. "These young
people have persevered despite
collapsed ceilings. They are a
very bright group of students."
Robert Palmer is Avon Park's

Last year Sebring and Avon
Park post offices collected an
estimated 60,000 pounds of
food. Recipients of the food
donations include the Salvation
Army, the New Testament
Mission, Church Services, St.
Vincent De Paul, shelters and
many other local food banks.
The local food drive is organ-

ized by the National
Association of Letter Carriers
(the city carriers union) and the
rural route carriers. With the
numerous rural routes in our
area the local post office would
not be able to do this without
the efforts and support of the
rural route carriers and area vol-
unteers.

Florida Hospital's Cheer Factor event

raises $20,360 for United Way

Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING Who could
have thought ketchup on can-
taloupe would have positive
community impact? Florida
Hospital employees, that's who.
Raising $20,360 to benefit
families in the Highland's
County area, Florida Hospital
employees proved there's more
to having fun than meets the
eye.
Approximately 100 employ-
ees representing 10 teams of
dedicated Florida Hospital
employees participated in their
annual "Cheer Factor" fund-
raiser to benefit the Highland's
County Division of United Way
of Central Florida.
Experiencing a 60 percent
increase over their own 2004
fund-raising event, teams came
out April 22 to prove in "Fear
Factor" fashion they could
make a difference to benefit
those in need.
Employees began raising
funds two months prior to the
Cheer Factor event by selling
fudge, banana splits, ice cream,
sundaes, holding drawings for
items such as fishing tackle and
rods, having car washes,
Mother Day's dinner chance
drawing, pizza lunches, and
chicken and dumpling dinners.
They even went on to sell
HVAC (air conditioning)
inspections for homes, having
photos with a pet cougar, and
ticket sales for head shavings.
The top three fund-raising
teams were: Four Hammers
raising $4,424; Donnamites
with $3,209; and Karl's
Kommandos bringing in $3,012
all to benefit United Way's
efforts.
"It's commitment like this
and getting involved that helps
United Way's mission come to
life. With the caring employees
involved in Cheer Factor and
the commitment of Florida
Hospital, programs will contin-
ue to help and a positive impact
will be made to change commu-
nity conditions," said Cheryl
Sharp, area director for the
Highlands County Division of
United Way of Central Florida.
"It's the. perfect partnership
because both Florida Hospital
and United Way are organiza-
tions founded on helping oth-
ers. We are proud of the hospi-
tal's involvement and are grate-
ful for their dedication to
United Way."

Avon Park at a reduced/reason-
able rates. Anybody that uses
city water should be in the city
or pay for the proper assess-
ments to extend and maintain
the water system in the area.
Contrary to popular belief
the city in the past has used
infrastructure funds to help
subsidize one or all of our
enterprise funds, which is why
I'm against providing water to
communities not inside the city
limits. Hopefully with the pres-
ent council they will ensure we
manage or enterprise funds as
true enterprise funds and not
subsidize them with either gen-
eral funds and/or infrastructure
funds.

Keep military

in air, not here
Editor:
In regards to the lady who
doesn't mind the screaming
military jets, and thinks the
military should keep flying.
I too believe the military
should keep flying, but do they
need to fly over land and sub-
ject millions of people to the
rbar of their airplanes when
they have the entire Gulf and
half of the Atlantic ocean to fly
over?
How many babies do, they
wake up or keep awake?
What about the elderly peo-
ple who cannot stand noise?
Not to mention those of us who
detest noise. Aren't there
enough of those loud speakers,
misnamed boom boxes around?
Airplanes during World War
II was a lot different than the
jets today. And I too used to
watch those P 38's practice:
The closest thing we had then
to a jet. They were a sight to
see.

Tax vote was

rushed through
Editor:
The "no" vote on the sales
tax by the majority of
Highlands County voters was
not because (we) "apparently
saw our youth as someone
else's burden" as stated by
School Board Chairman Wally
Randall, but because we are
intelligent enough to know that
a tax that runs for 20 years is a
tax that remains on the books
forever!
If Superintendent Wally Cox
and others behind this tax had
really listened to those oppos-
ing it at preliminary hearings,
they would have realized that
this tax was not going to be
rammed through this special
election. It has been a waste of
taxpayers' money that should
have been used for its original
purpose ... schools.
By taking the time to rethink
the time element of this tax,
limiting the money for new
school construction, promoting
it with facts and figures that the
voters could examine fully,
then placing it in the regular
November elections, it would
have had a real chance of pass-
ing,

City should

grow with area
Editor:
I just wanted to write about
the results from the .Lake
Lotela ADHOC committee and
the newspaper article.
What I felt was most inter-
esting was the article in the
newspaper that stated that the
city of Avon Park only wanted
to annex the area in for proper-
ty taxes and my response to
that would be "well duh".
It is common knowledge that
good cities survive because
they have enough revenue
coming in to provide proper
service and can ensure that the
government employees can
sustain a good quality of life. A
city the size of Avon Park has a
better chance of survival and to
maintain a good quality of life
if we grow to ensure a proper
tax base can support the city
and keep good employees to
make the community great.
It should be of interest by
every citizen in Highlands
County that the county and
every municipality are able to
properly sustain themselves. If
any city in Highlands County
starts having problems, most
likely it will spill over into
neighboring communities.
Avon Park is a great city and
it would be a tremendous loss
to the community if we didn't
grow as the area grows.
Now as for not wanting to be
annexed, I say that is anybody's
choice, but they don't need any
city services. Our water depart-
ment is not a for-profit compa-
ny;. it is an enterprise service to
provide water to the citizens of

be drug trafficking or sexual
misconduct that provides a
frightening environment for the
residents, particularly the chil-
dren and the elderly.
But as a resident, you don't
have to directly confront a per-

who seem threatening.
Compare notes with your
neighbors. Take pictures or
videos around the neighbor-
hood, what is safe and what
isn't.
Continually check on one
another, walk in groups, clear
an area so children can play in
safety. Plant flowers in an

Q

To say I was a little disap-
pointed in the outcome of
Tuesday's election would be a
major understatement.
It came to the point Tuesday
night after getting the results
that I finally had to stop vent-
ing. After all, how much does a
14-year-old understand about
what the vote actually means
for the young people ... and the
future of Highlands County.
What we have heard for
years and years are the cries of
the young people that there is
nothing in the county to keep
them here. More recently we
have been hearing the promises
of finding ways to keep the
young people here, and even
more recently we have been
hearing of the projected double
growth of the county in the
next 20 years.
One of the first things that a
young family will look at when
deciding where to move is the
school system. In voting down
the tax, we are basically turning
down our support of the school
district. What prospective
young families will see is over-
crowding and schools in disre-
pair or with portables sprinkled
all over the campus. One mid-
dle school alone has 17 porta-
bles on the campus and the
children there are no longer
able to take part in outdoor
physical education.
Wally Cox, Mike Averyt and
members of the school board
S,hayPe eenpounding the streets,
speaking to every group they
could get before. The tax had
the support of the Highlands
County Homeowners
Association, as well as the
endorsement of area newspa-
pers. Papers could be found in
any of the schools listing the
improvements that would be
made with money earned from
the sales tax.
Granted, the tax was not
expected to sunset for 20 years,
but we are talking about only a
half-cent. And if it was a big
purchase, that would only
apply to the first $5,000.
Trust me, as a single parent I
don't want to and can't afford
to pay any more taxes than I
already pay, but this is one tax
that would have been in the
best interest of all. It would
have put the burden of improv-
ing our school system on any-
one who made a purchase in
the county, even a candy bar
bought while passing through..
As a parent who attends
every function that my children
are involved in, it is dishearten-
ing to know the lack of support
that our children have from
their own parents. I have
attended some events where
there has been only two other
parents in attendance. And now
the county has shown its lack
of support to our children.
I don't blame the youth for
wanting to leave as soon as
they can. Why stay someplace
that apparently doesn't care
about their future or their learn-
ing environment.
Perhaps it would have been
better to have held this vote
during a larger election, then at
least more people would have
come out to vote, but when you
stop and look at the number of
people who voted yes 2,617
that doesn't speak well of
the number of people who said
yes to wanting the children to
have the things they need to
learn in a noncrowded and
updated environment.
Hopefully the school board
will figure out something
where they don't have to go
back to the voter and the
parents for their opinion.

The safest way to enter traffic on highway

Now that we have covered the basics of
getting stopped for a violation of one of the
many Florida State Statutes (FSS), and the
documents that you must carry our first
steps are done, let's look at a couple more
statutes that actually deal with driving.
Everyone complains about traffic on
U.S. 27 so we shall examine how you get
there. Like many situations, FSS covers
about everything you do in a motor vehicle.
And if it isn't covered,
wait a little while and a
new law .will.
To get onto U.S. 27
you must make a turn,
so let us look at how to
/ do that properly. If you
want to make any of
These turns or lane
changes that I am
HIGHWAY about to describe
please remember that
HOTLINE before you do, you
must use your turn sig-
J.P. FANE nal. Remember you are
-- required to use your
turn signals at least 100
feet before making any change in direction,
FSS 316.155.
If you want to make a right hand turn
your approach to the intersection and your
right hand turn shall be made as close as
practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of
the roadway. In other words, when
approaching the intersection be'as close as
you can to the right side of the roadway.
Once you enter or turn onto 27 you need to
be in the far right hand lane or what is com-
monly referred to as the slow lane. This
does not allow for you to cross the other
lanes and head for the inner (next to the
median) lane. If you are like me you see
this happen all the time but now we realize
that it is illegal.
To make a left-hand turn you will
approach the intersection in the extreme
left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic
moving in the direction of travel of such
vehicle, and, after entering the intersection,
the left turn shall be made so as to leave the
intersection in a lane lawfully available to
traffic moving in such direction upon the
roadway being entered. In other words, stay
as close to the left as you can once making

the turn into the lane next to the median.
FSS 316.155 covers these two turning situ-
ations as well as the turn signal require-
ment, and if you violate them they are a
$115.50 moving violation.
Once you have made your turn onto the
major roadway if you want to change lanes
take the following steps. Signal your intent,
then look and ensure that the lane you want
to occupy is free of traffic and it is safe to
enter (without interfering with vehicles that
may already be in that lane). N9w that you
know it is safe to change lanes, do so. And
now that you are in the lane you want don't
forget to turn off your turn signal.
Whenever you are making a turn such as
described or a lane change it is not the other
driver's responsibility to be looking out for
you. It is your responsibility to do so with-
out interfering with the traffic already on
the roadway. 1 am not absolving the other
drivers from driving safely; I am pointing
out that the primary responsibility does rest
with the person making the turn or lane
change.
Remember that we live in a wonderful
community. There really isn't any place in
Highlands County that you can't reach in a
reasonable time. There shouldn't be any
reason for pulling out in front of anyone.
Please remember that the slowest speed
limit on U.S. 27 is 35 miles per hour (MPH)
and that is in Lake Placid. In Sebring the
lowest speed limit is 50 MPH, and 45 MPH
in Avon Park.
I only bring this up as a small reminder
of how fast the vehicles are moving in traf-
fic that you are getting ready to pull out in
front of. At these speeds the vehicles are
moving at 51 feet per second in Lake

Placid, 73 feet per second in Sebring (80
feet per second where the speed limit is 55
MPH) and 66 feet per second in Avon Park.
I bring this up as food for thought.
If you look away or are temporarily dis-
tracted for only a few seconds there is a lot
going on. The vehicles that you saw just a
few seconds ago has now moved some con-
siderable distance in that time.
The above chart gives you just a little
more food for thought. When you combine
the driver's speed with their reaction time
you get a whole new set of figures.
Like any other data, you can argue these
figures concerning their accuracy. They are
one of many studies that I examined, and
like all studies, they varied slightly in the
end result..
But I am providing you this so you can
think twice before judging that it may be
safe to pull out into on coming traffic.
Please remember to drive safely, getting
there is the most important part of driving.

Little things

make impact
Editor:
I was on my way home from
work Monday when I came up
on an auto accident just after it
happened.
It was on U.S. 27 just south
of Sonny's BBQ. I think I was
the first one there and I was
talking to the girl in the car
explaining I couldn't touch her
because I had no gloves. Well,
a young man that works at
Sonny's had run down to see if
he could help and heard me
telling the girl that and said, "I
can get some gloves if you
want." I said, "Yes please, if
you don't mind."
He ran back to Sonny's, then
back to the accident with sever-
al sets of gloves. I didn't get his
name or a chance to really
thank him. So, to the young
man that brought gloves to the
accident on Monday, thank
you.

Leadership Highlands alumni

meet legislators in Tallahassee

By LINDSEY MURPHY
News-Sun
With programs recognized
by a national organization, the
Heartland Christian School is
establishing itself as an elite
institution.
In Christian School
Education, a magazine for
Christian-school educators,
there is an item that recognizes
Heartland Christian School's
middle school etiquette courses
as an exemplary school pro-
gram..
This school's etiquette is
designed to have students in the

program during grades five
through eight, with the class
being held for a quarter of each
school year. In the end, the stu-
dents have a year's worth of eti-
quette classes. Dinner banquets
are used as a final exam.
"It is encouraging to hear
remarks from parents when
they notice their children
improving on things," Debbie
Cwalinski, director of the eti-
quette program, said.
On May 2, the seventh-grade
etiquette program hosted a
semi-formal dinner for the
school's parents, teachers and

community representatives.
The students, under the direc-
tion of Cwalinski, led partici-
pants to their tables, mingled
with others and even gave intro-
duction speeches.
Students participating in the
seventh-grade etiquette banquet
this quarter were Michael
Bethan, Ashley Bramwell,
Andrew Breed, Daisy
Chapman, Johnathan Eva,
Kristoffer Herman, Robert
Leonardo, Caitlyn Moulds,
Arial Nombre, Kaitlyn
Ostrander, Philip Ostrander,
Kacey Pearson and Cole
Waters.

Special to the News-Sun
Members from the
Leadership Highlands alumni
traveled to Tallahassee in style
to meet the county's legislative
delegation.
The group of 13 participants
boarded early in the morning on
Annett Bus Lines' premier
motor coach with satellite TV
and leather seats as they
planned their strategy while
driving north from Highlands
County to the State Capitol.
The Leadership Highlands
alumni group made the most of

the whirlwind two-day trip.
They attended a dinner hosted
by Jeff Mechlin from Sprint and
talked with invited dinner
guests, Representative Denise
Grimsley and Representative
Baxter Troutman, about issues
relating to Highlands County.
The group had the opportuni-
ty to have meetings with
Commissioner of Agriculture
Charles Bronson and Attorney
General Charlie Crist.
The alumni sat in on a ses-
sion of the Florida Senate and
briefly met with the Speaker of

the House. Members also lis-
tened to presentations by the
Florida Chamber, Floridians for
Better Transportation and the
Florida Airport Council.
The Leadership Highlands
final stop was a brief meeting
and photo with Governor Jeb
Bush.
The group felt that the trip
was most beneficial for
Highlands County and has
begun making plans for a big-
ger and better 2006 Highlands
County Day in Tallahassee.

History Lesson
20 Years Ago
May 12, 1985: A day after a
draining, 10-inning 17-14
shootout win over Cocoa,
Avon Park couldn't stage a
trademark rally and fell 12-
5 in the Region III final to
Bartow, coached by current
Lake Placid head man Dan
Coomes. Nate Perry drove
in Mike Batterbee with a
sacrifice fly to close what
had been a 10-1 game to
10-5, but the Yellow
Jackets prevailed from
there.
5 Years Ago
May 12, 2000: Dan Evers
State Farm of Avon Park
used eight hits and 10
walks to roll to a 15-4 victo-
ry over Sebring First Union
in Dixie Boys action. Grant
Worden, who struck out
four, walked two and
allowed one hit and one
earned run, won the game
in relief of Billy Dobson.

Hamlin, Blue Streaks glad to

have quarterbacks in pads

By SCOTT DRESSEL
Sports Editor
SEBRING As a Blue
Streak fan, Jared Hamlin was
just as sorry to see Sebring's
early exit from the baseball
playoffs earlier this week as
anybody else. As a football
coach, however, it came as
somewhat of a relief.
With both of his quarterbacks
busy helping the baseball Blue
Streaks to a district champi-
onship, the job of running the
offense during spring practices,
which started May 2, has fallen
on Hamlin's broad shoulders.
It's a job he's happy to give
up.

Bayview

stuns Elks

By DANIEL BEDELL
News-Sun Correspondent
SEBRING Saving the best for last
must have been Bayview Self Storage's
game plan Thursday night as they took
down the Elks 4-1 in Dixie Youth Majors
action at Max Long Recreational
Complex.
It took five innings of play for either
team to score, but when they did it came
fast and furious and with a little bit of
controversy.
Ba\'ie%\ scored in the bottom of the
S:fifth despite their first two batters going
down on good catches from the Elks
shortstop Seth Abeln and center fielder
Tori Pringle. Ryan McNew didn't let that
bother him, however, as he singled to get
on base. Daniel Ware did the same and
then Josh Gomez came up to bat and
nailed one between short and third. The
shortstop got his mitt on the ball, but was-
n't able to control it and McNew was able
to score.
The shortstop ran up to the base path
and tried to tag out Ware, but the ball was
not yet in his glove. Ware, however, did-
n't know this and thought he was out and
walked off the field while confused Elks
tried to tag him, tag the base or go back
into the dugout. The umpire called Ware
safe and ordered him back to the bag
while the coaches argued the call and each
team took the field and left about three
times.
Finally, Ware went back to third and
then was able score when the Elks pitcher
fired the throw home on a throwing error.
In the meantime, Aaron Hart walked
before Drew Hornick blasted a double to
left field that brought in both Hart and
Gomez. The four run burst put Bayview
up 4-0.
The Elks had only one inning left to
undo the damage. The first batter stuck
out, but then Kyle Yarbrough got a single
and advanced to second on an error. The
next batter hit into a fielder's choice and
Bayview pitcher Hart (nine strikeouts,
four walks and six hits) then walked a bat-
ter and his teammates let another get on

playing quarterback in practice.
"I'm getting to old for that. The
last time I did it, I went.home
and I couldn't move for the next
couple of days. I couldn't hard-
ly walk."
Hamlin can rest his weary
arm now that A.C. Wilson and
Chris Welborn are wearing pads
instead of spikes and, even
though their late arrival has the
offense behind a little bit, the
second-year coach said he's
pleased with how spring drills
have gone so far.
"We've gotten a lot in this
spring. We're real young, espe-
cially defensively. We're just
trying to get things straight, get
through our basic stuff. I'm
excited so far

"We changed up a little bit
defensively. We're going to a 3-
4 base. We're a little smaller
this year so we're going to try
to use our quickness."
Hamlin said Wilson and
Welborn will both have a
chance to win the starting job in
a competition that will start dur-
ing the spring season which
ends with the Saturday, May 21
game at Mulberry and con-
tinue up until the regular-season
opener August 26 at home
against Winter Haven.
"They're going to battle it
out through the summer and fall
practice," Hamlin said. "We
didn't have them for the first
week and half, but they're out
here now so we'll see what they

AVON PARK It was an inning like no other for
Heather Barnes.
After her errant throw allowed the tying run to score for
Western Auto of Lake Placid in the top of the seventh,
Barnes was being intentionally walked in the bottom of the
inning, but when ball three wandered too close to the strike
zone, she lifted it into right field to score her brother Heath
from third and give Big T Tireman of Avon Park a 3-2 win
in Dixie Boys action on Thursday.
"I've always said that if somebody tried to walk me I was
going to try to hit it," she said, after eschewing what would
have been the first intentional pass of her life.

do. There ain't a whole lot of
time to get things done with
them."
Despite having missed some
time this spring, Hamlin said
both of the quarterbacks have
some experience to fall back on.

"Chris backed up last year, so
he pretty much understands our
offense. It hasn't changed any,"
he said. "And A.C. played with
us for over half the year last

hoping to set a new record.

looking to send as many as
six local teams to the sec-
tional qualifying. Todo that,

Hall will host local quali-
fiers on Saturday, June 11.

local event means another

ing.

the tournament, and each

dozen golf balls and a nice
lunch provided by sponsor

63 to take lead
Associated Press
IRVING, Texas Stuart
Appleby birdied his. first two
holes and kept right on rolling
Thursday to a 7-under 63 on
the TPC at Las Colinas, giving
him a one-shot lead over John
Daly, Ernie Els and Brett
Wetterich in the Byron Nelson
Championship.
Els, coming off a 13-stroke
victory two weeks ago in
Shanghai, and Wetterich also
played the TPC course, while
Daly opened on the easier
Cottonwood Valley course.
Els was the only member of
the Big Five who showed up on
the leaderboard on a good day
for scoring, with cloud cover
and moderate wind.
Vijay Singh, a winner in two
of his last three tournaments,
shot a 68 in a group with Els.
Tiger Woods and Phil
Mickelson opened with 69s on
the TPC course and Retief
Goosen was another stroke
back after a 70.

and advanced to third with a
pair of stolen bases before scor-
ing on Sanders' groundout to
shortstop.
Avon Park lead off the bot-
tom of the third with a single by
Deon Hall and Matthew Owens
hit a long triple to center to
score Hall. Tekovia Miller sin-
gled to drive in Owens and cut
the lead to 4-2.
Alan Jay answered quickly in
the fourth with another Orozco
double. He stole third and home
for a run. Kyle Komisar drew a
base on balls, moved to second
on a balk and proceeded to steal
third and home for a 6-2 advan-
tage.
Avon Park picked up another
run in the fourth. Eric Jamison
was hit by a pitch and moved to
third on Hall's double. Devante
Hall grounded out to first as
Jamison scored on the play and
Alan Jay's 6-3 lead looked
shaky after four innings.
But catcher Michael Smith,

doubled with one out for Alan
Jay in the fifth and Cochran fol-
lowed with a long triple to
right. Cochran then raced home
on Orozco's ground out to sec-
ond for a 8-2,lead.
Alan Jay added three insur-
ance runs in the sixth when
Conner, Bauer was hit by a pitch
and advanced to third on stolen
bases. Ouverson hit his second
single of the night and Sanders
followed with another single.
Smith hit a long sacrifice fly to
center to score Ouverson and
Cochran singled to drive in
Sanders for a 11-3 lead.
Komisar closed out the scor-
ing for the game with a single
and Aaron Walkup doubled to
drive in Komisar for the 13-3
lead.
Owens, Miller and Hall all
had two hits to lead the Avon
Park attack.
Alan Jay improved their
record to 3-6 and Avon Park is
looking for its first win.

wasn't phased though, and he
struck out the last batter to get
out of the jam and give his team
the win.
The win for Bayview

Firemen 9
Rotary 5
The Firemen never trailed,
but were challenged several
times by Rotary in a 9-5 win on
Thursday.
The Firemen jumped to a 3-0
lead in the first behind runs

from Evan Lewis, Jesse Baker
and Dane Maddox.
Rotary chipped into that lead
in the second when Erik Dunn
scored, but the Firemen came
right back with two runs of
their own in the third from
Justin Acevedo and Timmy
Stevens.
Rotary had its best inning in
the third when both Michael
Grimaldo and Zach Maloyed
were able to score Rotary
tacked on another run in the
fourth inning when T.J.
McGlinchey scored to bring
Rotary to within one run of the
Firemen at 5-4.
It was a blaze of runs,
though, in the fifth for the
Firemen as Lewis, James
Heston, Baker and Johnathan
Knight all scored to push the
lead to five.
Rotary was only able to get
one more run when Anthony
Hargaden scored in the fifth.
The win put the Fireman at
7-2 on the year while Rotary
fell to 3-6.

Young NBA superstars not a sure-fire key to success

High school, high school!
Get your direct-to-the-NBA
high school superstars here!
But, if you do decide to get
your teenage NBA superstar
here, please be sure to read the
small print.
Small print as follows:
Teenage NBA superstar may
dazzle crowds with amazing
feats of athleticism but miss
the open jump shot, may sell
the most jerseys and seats for
your team but fail to fill the
win column and, most impor-
tantly of all, may appear to be
a spectacular player, but
please, do not bet on getting
past the first round of the play-
offs.
The first round of the 2005
NBA playoffs is in the books
and the official grade for those
who jumped from high school
to the NBA in the now-regular
exodus that decides to skip col-
lege in favor of dollar signs in
their glazed-over eyes and
green backs in their extra-large
palms is at best a D.

Moree, Maura Hopkins and
Tykeria Tyson loaded the bases,

Martin got a strikeout to get out
of the jam.
Keon Singh led off the bot-
tom of the first with a walk for
Crosson, .and scored when
Brekayla English reached on a
two-out error. The miscue
opened the door for Crosson,
which loaded the bases when
Lindsey Wedemeier was hit by
a pitch and Katelynn Rogers
walked. That brought up Hart,
who lined one into the gap in
right-center and sped around
the bases for four RBIs and a 5-
1 lead.
After the shaky first inning,
Martin settled down and retired
seven of the next eight batters
she faced, taking a no-hitter
into the fourth and final inning.
But, after Samantha May
reached on an error, Kristasza
Allong ripped a double into
left-center to drive in May
before getting thrown out trying
to stretch her hit into a triple.
Angela Bateman followed

six, got a groundout to end the
game.

how pathetic is it for three
highly heralded players to not

I must admit, though, seeing
Kobe go down in flames was
fairly sweet after his incredible
display of an over-inflated ego.

school-to-NBA class, only five

Brown of the Washington
Wizards, Jermaine O'Neal and

you is a will to go on in the
face of defeat, something
McGrady and many other
young stars apparently lack.
And is it really that surpris-
ing? The NBA is probably their
first full dose of failure, and
what a dose it is.
I think the biggest disservice
these amazingly talented high
school players have done to
themselves is to let so much
come so easily. They never had
,the threat of the bench really
hanging over their heads.
After all, the bench in the
NBA means what? You still get
paid by the team, you still get
paid by the shoe company and
you still get the girls drooling
and the guys staring. It is an
altogether different thing when
sitting on the bench.may mean

Heath Barnes was able to get
out of the inning with the game

leadoff man in the bottom of the

worst of all, not even seem to
realize why.
For most of us, the chance to
go pro in a sport is about nil,
but there is something to be
learned from those who have,
something that I am beginning
to learn in life.
Maybe it is a lesson that you
know already and that foolish
little me is just realizing, but
here it is: Sometimes learning
has very little to do with the
X's and O's and knowing the
right answers. Most of the
time, the answers do us very
little good anyway. It is the
journey along the way that
teaches the lessons that make
us successful, and taking the
shortcuts just means you are
shorting yourself.

tournament."
For Heather Barnes, a critical
component on Avon Park High
School's softball team as a
freshman this spring, going
from playing with boys to girls
and back again is a jaunt she
navigates with seeming ease.
"She's still playing softball
every week, but she comes out
and plays baseball with us
every week, too," Ronnie
Barnes said. "Everybody says it
messes her up, but she gets as
many hits as any of the boys."

Stop elder abuse
A senior citizen hopelessly
peers through the blinds of
her window dreading the vis-
its of her children and grand-
children. Others happily
anticipate the arrival of their
children.
Unable to share her fears
with those close to her, she
seeks the considerate ears of
a stranger as she searches for
comfort. Her adult children
are causing her emotional,
physical and financial pain.
This senior who should be
spending her retirement hap-
pily playing golf, croquet or
bongo, tending to her gar-
dens, walking the dogs or
baking delicious homemade
cookies, is instead lonely,
withdrawn and sad.
Her mailbox is stalked by
her children who are deter-
mined to steal her monthly
Social Security checks. Her
medication vanishes without
a trace, while her arthritic
body writhes in pain.
Does this describe you?
You are not alone in this state
that has the fourth largest
elder population, aged 60 and
older.
The Florida Coalition
Against Domestic Violence
states that many older
Americans experience abuse
later in life, "often aggravated
by the change in lifestyle that
comes with retirement,
declining physical and mental
health and reduced sexual
ability." Adult children make
up 28 percent of perpetrators
of senior abuse. However,
senior parents are reluctant to
report the abuse, blaming
themselves for the abusive
behavior of their grown chil-
dren. Therefore the behavior
is under reported.
The FCADV wants to
know if you are faced with
any of the following dilem-
mas:
Do you feel isolated and
deprived of contact with the
outside world?
Are you being denied
private space or time?
Are you being con-
trolled and not allowed to
make decisions for yourself?
Are you being deprived
of good personal hygiene or
proper cleanliness?
Are your medications,
shelter, food or clothing
being withheld?
Are you being forced to
do things against your will or
being threatened?
Are you being physical-
ly, mentally and financially
abused?
The FCADV advises sen-
iors to take the following pre-
cautionary means:
Secure documents such
as birth certificates insurance,
Medicare and Medicaid
cards, bank account pass-
book, passport, Social
Security card, power of attor-
ney documents, marriage
license, and the deed to your
home.
Put money medication,
spare key, glasses and cloth-
ing in a secure place.
Make sure you know
where to turn to for help
should the need arise.
If you are experiencing
elder abuse, contact the Elder
Abuse Hotline at (800) 962-
2873 or Elder Helpline at
(800) 963-5337. For the hear-
ing impaired, dial the Florida
Telecommunication at 711.

Rare and exotic wild

animals rescued

part featuring the training received by

News-Sun correspondent
ZOLFO SPRINGS
visit to Peace River Refuge & Ranch is
a very personal experience.
Rare and exotic wild animals
can be viewed at close range
in enclosures that duplicate as
closely as possible their natu-
ral habitats in the wild.
Owners and managers Kurt and Lisa
Stoner personally conduct scheduled
tours that combine wildlife education
with stories and anecdotes about the
animals they have rescued.
"It all started with a tiger," Lisa
Stoner remembered. "Kurt and I were
living in South Florida and helping a
small tourist attraction on an Indian
reservation in Fort Lauderdale. We
nursed an injured tiger cub back to
health. When we returned him to the lit-
tle zoo and looked at the 10 foot cage,
we knew that once he was full grown,
there was no place for him to go."
Lisa said, "we never figured out
which one of us decided to do it" but
they sold their South Florida house and
everything in it and bought 90 acres of
land about five miles east of Zolfo
Springs. They lived in tents and travel
trailers until they could get the first
cage prepared and "then we went and
got the tiger."
The tiger, Zulu, is still living at the
refuge today. That same year, they res-
cued a white tiger named Blizzard from
a man who was breeding white tigers to
sell for entertainment. Blizzard, who
weighed only 35 pounds, was being
beaten and abused. The two full-grown
tigers each have their own cage, but
romped and played together while Lisa
opened the adjoining enclosures during
a recent tour.
The next enclosure houses six
cougars, deceptively kittenish in their
play. "The smallest cougar has 10ltimes
the strength of a man," Lisa said. "I ask
people if they have ever played with a
house cat that started to play rough, I
tell them 'multiply that by 10' and
imagine what it would feel like."
The enclosures all front on a com-
mon area so that visitors can observe
the animals' behavior up close without
walking long distances. But enclosures
for some of the larger animals stretch
back to allow plenty of room to roam.
Three black bears share a beautiful 2/3-
acre habitat complete with trees, rocks
and logs, a tire swing, two huge dens
and a swimming pool.
Some of the animals, such as the
endangered black leopard, are so reclu-
sive that they are rarely seen in the wild
even in their native habitats. Yet visitors
can view the beautiful creature reclin-
ing in his tree only a few feet away.
"The leopard is by far our most dan-
gerous animal," Lisa pointed out.
"These are wild animals and they do
not make good pets."

Ap4Me of re kg
Peace River Refuge & Ranch is a
private, nonprofit exotic animal sanctu-
ary accredited by the American
Sanctuary Association. It is one of only
three accredited sanctuaries in the state
of Florida.
There are many other kinds of facili-
ties which keep exotic animals, includ-
ing zoos, breeders, parks and exhibi-

tions, placement or adoption shelters
and private owners. These facilities are
distinguished from sanctuaries in that
their income is derived from the ani-
mals they have. Sanctuaries, by their
very nature, can derive little, if any.
income from the animals. I
An accredited sanctuary cannot /
breed, sell, or give away any of the
animals they rescue. They cannot put
on exhibitions for profit featuring ani-
mal performers. The sole mission is to
provide lifetime care for abused, neg-
lected, confiscated, or unwanted exotic
animals to prevent them from being
destroyed.
Unlike facilities that raise funds
before taking on costly responsibilities,
the refuge is often con ronted with
emergency situations that require an

for some time to make arrangements.
People were sneaking into the zoo and
turning some of the animals loose and
they were becoming a problem in the
community. We were told to 'take them
now or we will put them down.' So we
took them."
Stoner said that most of the animals
were monkeys and many of them were
sick, "We had S25.000 of vet expenses
the first month."

Two years ago, the Sarasota

Veterinary costs are one of the sanc-
tuary's biggest expenses. Area vets who
come to the refuge either charge a
reduced rate or donate their services.
However, when animals need a surgical
procedure, they must be taken to a clin-
ic, which costs full price. The largest

Florida's veterinary facility, a difficult
situation for both the animal and the
staff.

The Stoners have taken on a formida-
ble responsibility with only the assis-
tance of a few part-time volunteers. The
couple runs the 90-acre facility full-
time; they do not take a salary because
expenses are so high. The total operat-
ing budget for the refuge is $250,000 a
year. "It costs $5,000 a year just to feed
one tiger," Lisa pointed out. The refuge
now is home to more than 150 animals.
A lot of the food is donated: local
farmers and ranchers donate meat from
injured cattle that cannot be sent to
market. Produce is donated by Kash N'
Karry, Albertson's and Wal-Mart "but
we always need more."
Lisa also gives high praise to her two
daughters, Sara Kershner, 17 and
Ashley Kershner, 16.
"My daughters are the best," Lisa
said. "They help with everything.
Ashley even makes the dart guns to
immobilize the animals. She is a crack
shot."
The Stoners need additional volun-
teers now more than ever, because Kurt
injured himself doing hurricane cleanup
and he needs surgery.
"We had terrible damage during the
hurricane," Lisa said. "We had more
than $200,000 damage to our freezer
building, storage sheds and perimeter
fence. Large trees came down and
smashed the cages and fences. The first
few days we worked around the clock
just to clear the roads and driveways so
we could begin repairs."
The Stoners are planning to build a
new multi-purpose building to replace
the damaged facilities. The new build-
ing will have a veterinary clinic which
includes interns' quarters so that they
can have on-site treatment for the ani-
mals. They will accept qualified veteri-
nary and science-based interns, provid-
ing them with training and room and
board.

tions that will help us with this," Lisa

'Crash' delivers thoughtful sermon on race

By SHARON JONES
News-Sun
Make no mistake: "Crash" is
entirely about race first
impressions, misconceptions
and stereotypes but instead of
a sermon, this literate and well-
acted film is a wise and hopeful
elegy.
First-time director Paul
Haggis gets under the skin of
his characters with the same
graceful skill he demonstrated
in his script for "Million Dollar
Baby." Constantly surprising if
sometimes contrived, "Crash"
doesn't pound its fist or stomp
its feet. It proposes that people
can be good and bad and both
and that they are generally
more complicated than they
appear to be on the surface.
The meandering plot is less
coherent than most films it
follows the lives of eight people
over 36 hours as their lives
briefly intersect in Los Angeles.
These vignettes become a chain
of mini-morality plays.
The characters come in pairs.
There are two young black car-
jackers (Chris "Ludacris"
Bridges and Larenz Tate), a
respected black police detective
(Don Cheadle) who is having
an affair with his Hispanic part-
ner (Jennifer Esposito), a white
D.A. running for re-election(
Brendan Fraser) and his uptight
wife (Sandra Bullock), a cor-
rupt white street patrolman
(Matt Dillon) and his idealist
partner (Ryan Philippe) and an
affluent black couple (Thandie
Newton and Terrence Howard),
as well as an Iraqi shop owner
(Shaun Toub), a Mexican lock-
smith and several Korean immi-
grants.
Events are set in motion
when the carjackers steal the
D.A.'s Lincoln Navigator at
gunpoint. The D.A.'s angry
wife blames herself for not fol-
lowing her instincts and pro-
tecting herself when she knew
the black men were trouble.
She takes out her anger and
hysteria on the Mexican lock-

smith who is changing the locks
on her doors. Soon, he is hav-
ing a similar conflict with the
Iraqi businessman, who has
been the target of multiple rob-
beries.
The white cop (Matt Dillon)
uses the stolen Navigator as an
opportunity to harass a black
couple driving the same model.
His outraged, tenderfooted part-
ner won't work with him any-
more, while his victims find
that their dignity and faith in the
system is shaken to the core.
What Haggis does smartly is
putting the audience through
the same situations his charac-
ters are experiencing judging
people instantly and forming
certain kinds of conclusions.
Time and again, viewers will
think they know these folks -
bullying cops, snobbish white
women and dangerous crooks -
until the characters take a hero-
ic step or a tragic stumble. At
that point, you may begin to
think your first impressions
were wrong or at the least
were incomplete which, of
course, is exactly what Haggis
is driving at.
Even when "Crash" verges
on preachiness, Haggis keeps
his sentiments human and
down-to-earth. Most surprising
are his common sense attitudes
about racial issues, which can
be provocative and sometimes
funny.
Haggis realizes that people
have the natural inclination to
notice that they are different
from each other particularly
when skin colors and cultural
backgrounds make those differ-
ences obvious. He doesn't cru-
cify his characters for every
inappropriate word or deed. He
knows the difference between a
Harmless joke, a subtle but
insidious act of prejudice and
reprehensible behavior.
For example, when
Cheadle's detective is chastised
by his Hispanic girlfriend for
calling her a Mexican which

she isn't he makes a wise-
crack about Hispanics that
guarantees he won't be getting
any more loving for the rest of
the night. Later they make up.
The punishment fit the crime.
It's more uncomfortable to
watch Fraser's savvy D.A. try-
ing to figure out the best way to
use the carjacking to his politi-
cal advantage, or hearing a
black police lieutenant refuse to
reprimand a white subordinate
for crossing the line because he
thinks that will reflect badly on
his own management style.
And while it's chilling to
watch a white officer harass a
black woman, it's as surprising
to see how that incident returns

to shame him and what he has
to do to redeem himself.
"Crash" also has an interest-
irig outlook on stereotypes -
they exist, it seems to believe,
because sometimes they are
true. And when an encounter
between people reinforces those
stereotypes when a black man
steals or a white cop abuses his
authority fear and suspicion
take hold in the minds of the
victims as "fact" instead of
"myth."
"Crash" urges us to see
beyond the stereotypes and to
watch how we conduct our-
selves. It's a worthy message
from a movie that's worth see-
ing and discussing.

Holy Spirit sustains Christ's love for us

SChrist's love is an obedient
love. It is a love that is commit-
ted to listen and obey. Because
of his love for us Christ
"became obedient to death -
even death on a cross!" Our
heavenly Father demands per-
fection from his human cre-
ation. Christ's love for fallen
mankind cause him to obey that
command of the Father, and he
lived that perfect life for us.
The law decrees that the
wages of sin is death. Christ's
love for us led him to pay that
penalty for us. He became sin
for us and died on the cross. To
know the extent of Christ's love
for us, all we have to do is see
what he did while he walked on
this earth. Jesus obeyed his
Father completely, and he did it
for us. That is love!
Before Jesus departed he
gave instruction on how we are
to live. He said, "If you love
me, you will obey what I com-
mand.'And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another
Counselor to be with you forev-
er-the Spirit of truth." (John
14:15,16) Now Jesus calls us to
have that obedient love as he
says, "If you love me, you will
obey what I command." The
setting for these words of Jesus
is the upper room shortly before
his sufferings and death. Note
that the essence of Christ's love
was not emotionalism, flattery
or recalling the "good old
days." Those are feelings that
often surface at sad farewells.
Those are ways in which we
often communicate our love.

Certainly that upper
room was filled with
emotion. Love gener-
ates emotion, but
Christ reminds us
that the essence of
love 'is obedience.
Our obedience to
Christ will show our
love for him.
Earlier in John
8:31,32 Jesus had'
told his believers, "If
you hold to my
teaching, you are
really my disciples.
Then you will know
the truth, and the
truth will set you
