SHUTT News-Sun SEBRING Lake Josephine has an additional 120 acres of shallow water shore habitat but not all its residents can freely enjoy, yet. A six-month drought and the completion of a six-month proj- ect on the lake south of Sebring came together to leave more than 30 residents of the Buttonwood Bay mobile home. community high and dry. "We're looking for solu- tions," said Beacham Furse, an aquatic resource manager for the Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation. Furse managed the program that began in November and was completed mid-May to enhance the shallow water shore habitat by drawing down invasive weeds. Lake Josephine comprises three basins east, center and west. Temporary dams were erect- ed, allowing Furse's crews to drain the center basin. When the eradication project there was completed, he drained the west basin into the center. The final dam between the west and center basins was removed Tuesday, causing the water to retreat from its banks in, the east basin on which Buttonwood Bay is situated. "The motors are in the muck, they're going to be damaged," KATARA SIMMONS/News-Sun Dale Hertweck discusses the low level of Jackson Creek Canal on Friday as Jim Duncan looks at the boats left high and dry when a dam was removed on Lake Josephine. The men live in Buttonwood Bay, where the residents say they weren't duly notified of the action that would cause the canal to shrink. said Jan Jones, president of the Buttonwood Bay Homeowners Association, as she and other residents of the community convoyed in their golf carts along Jackson Creek Canal. The canal also receded from its banks following Tuesday's removal of the west basin dam, draining at an estimated rate of one-inch per hour. Buttonwood residents want to know why they weren't noti- fied about the specific date so that they could have moved their boats (of the 31 stuck pier- side in mud or inches-deep water most are pontoon boats) to the community's storage site or to another lake. "We've not found anybody here that was notified," Jones said, acknowledging that her association and the Lake Josephine Association (of which Buttonwood is a mem- ber) knew from public hearings that the project was scheduled for completion about mid-May. "We don't know how long it's going to be until the boats float back up." Furse said the public meet- ings began in 2000 and includ- ed the various communities that might be affected, including ii-w^w. fil -ALI:A ADC 32S0 *01 0010596 / / UL OF F LIB O F itIFLA HISTORY UNIV OF FLORIDA Levi WH illiams taking over as head basketball coach at Lake Placid Hig.h Sports, 1D SKATARA SIMMONS/News-Sunf Troopers investigate a fatal single-vehicle accident Friday at State Road 17A and Oak Park Avenue, where 16-year-old Cristal Eugenio, of Avon Park, was ejected from the Cadillac Escalade.

SHUTT News-Sun AVON PARK Whi le Avon Park High School seniors were celebrating the beginning of their lives after graduation Friday night, se eral mourned the loss of a fellow student who died in a vehicle accident earlier that day. Cristal Eugenio. 16, ofA\%on Park. died Friday afternoon after a single-vehicle accident tossed her from a 1999 Cadillac Escalade. Eugemo. \\lho reside, at 1200 W. Kersey St., \\;as pronounced dead on arrival at Highl.ind Regionall Medical Center in Sebring, according to Florida Hight\a% Patrol Cpl. G. A Freiinutih report. Eugenio jlst finished her freshman year at Avon Park High School. She was a member of the Avon Park High School Chorus. The accident occurred about 1:30 p.m. at SLate Road 17A about one-tenth of a mile west of Oak Park Avenue. "I saw the man cradling the woman's head in his arms," Bob Chapman, of Sebring, said. Chapman was westbound on S.R. 17A when he saw the eastbound maroon sport utility vehicle veering into his lane. "They looked up and seen me and did a sharp correction to the right," Chapman said, speculating that the driver Everado Hernandez Cruz, 23, of Avon Park, was reaching down to change the radio station or CD. "They vere not speeding." -i Cruz's vehicle went through the yard at 116 S.R. 17A, collided with a chain link fence and rolled over into Jose Martinez's backyard at 1659 N.

Chapman said pointing to an area %%here the dirt had been disturbed and a pair of women's white high-top S neakers and a spiral-bound notebook EUGENIO lay. Cruz was flown to Tampa General Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition as of Saturday. The FHP report indicates that Eugenio was wearing her seat belt, but Cruz was not. According to Freimuth's report, charges are pending the outcome of the investigation. meetings specifically for Buttonwood residents. He said the drought has caused Josephine to be six td eight inches lower than normal. "It went down another foot as we predicted it would," Furse said, explaining that this projec- tion was relayed to the commu- nity. "That affects everybody on the lake." But, according to Bill Jones, residents outside Buttonwood seem to have received the spell cific date their boats arq absent from their respectivJ docks. I In hindsight, Furse said he could have been more proact e in getting the word out. "We should have gone house to house," he said. "Maybe that's just something we failed to do." Furse is working with Clell Ford, lake management special- ist for Highlands County, tc alleviate the situation. Ford was out of town Frida and couldn't be reached fo, comment. A message was lefj with his office., "We planned the project so that it would end at the begin1 ning of the rainy season," Fursd said. "But that just didn't hap< pen." , Rain did fall Tuesday miorn ing, when the dam was removed, but it wasn't enough See BOATERS, page 11A FLORIDA HOSPITAL Jl'lc'd "i.^;iO l''f Boaters bummed 'bout bottoming-out C m l1, tof I 2A News-Sun, Sunday, May 21, 2006 Resources commission wants to know if wetlands protected Talk about a big head!

Winding Waters one possible concern By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING If Highlands County is losing wetlands to development without proper mitigation, a local advisory board wants to know. If so, they want to know why. With so much development going up in Highlands County in recent months, and more requests for land-use and zon- ing changes, members of the Natural Resources Advisory Commission want to be sure the county is working to preserve scrub and wetland habitat. At Wednesday's meeting, Dr. Reed Bowman, biologist, said the county should consider making people mitigate for clearing land with habitat of the type used by listed species, even if such species are not on site. Co-chairman Mike Sawyer agreed. but commission mem- bers were divided on whether a person should clear when listed Species .are not present. A local ordinance, they said, could help, as long as people obey it. Still, they voted to ask coun- ty commissioners to amend the ordinance to have people pro- vide mitigation if they destroy habitat for listed species. In regard to wetlands, Erin McCarta with the Highlands Soil and Water Conservation District noted that the county still has natural resources objec- tives in its comprehensive plan. She wanted to know if the county had mapped its wet- lands. Janice McCarthy, planning staff for the advisory commis- sion, wasn't aware of the coun- ty having done that. Jim Polatty, Development Services director, said the county has usually left enforcement up to state agen- cies. Kurt Olsen, environmental consultant, said a lot of people aren't checking with the Department of Environmental Protection, but instead are just clearing their land. Typically, a developer or land clearer needs a permit to go into wetlands, Olsen said. State agents in Punta Gorda usually don't come unless they are called with a complaint, he said. Dr. Hilary Swain, biologist, said she would like to hear from the state how many wetland permits they have issued in the last two years, to see if regula- tion is taking place. One place of concern is the Winding Waters property on the south end of Arbuckle Creek and the north bank of Lake Istokpoga, traditionally known for wetlands, flood plain, ham- mocks and wildlife. The county considered buying it for conser- vation five years ago for $750,000, but concerns about the cost being significantly more than appraisals trumped any deal on the 152-acre prop- erty. At the time, County Commissioner Edgar Stokes noted the land had sold twice to potential developers for more than $1 million. Though the original plat from SpringLake has expired, that wouldn't stop another developer from pur- chasing it and re-platting it, he said. Apparently that's happened, Polatty said. A developer is try- ing to figure out how to develop the property now. A wetlands subcommittee will discuss the countywide issue 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, at the Highlands County Engineering Department train- ing room, 501 S. Commerce Ave., Sebring. 'Miss Mickey' retiring after years of counseling By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Fred Wild Elementary School is losing one its most storied characters at the end of the school year. For 30 years JoAnne DuBose has been counseling children and gro% n-tups :like. In fact she's ben at Fred !-Wild so long ishe's now coun- seling the children and grand- children of students she worked with when she first started. What sets her apart from other dedicated guidance coun- selors, however, is the lengths she will go in connecting with students. As a counselor for children, "I wondered what I could use so that kids wouldn't be afraid to approach me so they could level with me and tell me what they needed to," she said. "I've loved Mickey since I was a lit- tle kid, and it just seemed a nat- ural choice." Which is how, since about 1996 (she's been doing it so long she's no longer quite sure when it began), she has dressed up as Mickey Mouse com- plete with the ears, white gloves and yellow, oversized feet. Students call her Miss Mickey, even out of costume, and she loves it. "You could be called a lot worse," she said with a laugh. Co-workers call her commit- ted, loyal, conscientious and caring. "She's deeply spiritual, and just a wonderful friend," Sharon Culverhouse, a data operator who works with her, said. "If you're stressing, she can calm you," Juliet Lowe added. She is the resource teacher who will take on some of DuBose's responsibilities next year. "One hundred percent, she puts oth- '. . . CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun JoAnne DuBose, otherwise known as Miss Mickey, has been counsel- ing students at Fred Wild Elementary School for 30 years. She will retire at the end of this year, to her co-workers' regret. Dubose began dressing up as Mickey Mouse years ago in an effort to put children at ease. Now she is known as Miss Mickey. ers ahead of herself." DuBose is also famous for teaching students about the let- ter M using Mickey and M&Ms to bring home the les- son. On the subject of M&Ms Valerie Cunningham, who works as DuBose's right hand ("well, at least a few fingers") said DuBose keeps candy, espe- cially chocolate, on hand to reward and to soothe. "And it's the good chocolate," she said, "not the cheap stuff." But far more important, she added, was Dubose's ability to connect with the children. "She's so positive and very encouraging." While everyone knows she's earned her retirement and knows her husband Danny and their three "gifted kitties" - Spunky, Kokomo and Ibony - will love having her close, no one really wants to see her go. "She's fixture," Lowe said, "and we're not coping very well." E. 0. Koch Construction 3504 Office Park Road P. 0.

The trailer of the trash truck clipped the trailer of the fruit truck, causing the trash truck's trailer to overturn and spill its contents into the median, while the fruit truck left a 100-yard trail of oranges down the highway.

I 6A News-Sun, Sunday, May 21, 2006 'Ride of Silence' pays mute testimony to cyclists' presence By KEVIN J. SHUTT News-Sun SEBRING The Sebring Ride of Silence one of many held throughout Florida, across the United States and in six countries was a quiet suc- cess. About 15 people. mostly members of the Highlands Pedalers, arrived at the Sebring Civic Center for the informal 10-mile ride around Lake Jackson to memorialize fallen cyclists and raise awareness among motorists that public roadways are to be shared. "Aren't there any ladies?" asked Doris McGill, of Sebring, as she approached the spandex and Lycra-clad cyclists on their high-dollar carbon-this-and-that bicycles. Wearing a straw bonnet, flo- ral print blouse, slacks and san- dals, McGill provided a stark contrast to the rest of the group. She needed help retrieving her vintage fold-away bike from the back seat of her com- pact car, into which she wres- tiled the unfolded bike by her- self. "I'm recently widowed," McGill said, explaining that she learned of the ride from a News- Sun article. "I needed to get out of the house." The Ride of Silence was atypical for the club riders - the maximum speed was 12 mph and no talking was allowed, adding a solemn touch. It began in 2003 when a Dallas man orchestrated a ride to honor a friend who had died maintained McGill's 5-1/2 mph pace. "I've been meaning to do that with somebody," the 74-year- old rider said, explaining that she wanted to complete a lap around Lake Jackson. "And your article said that it would wait for the slowest person. That would be me. I like to ride a cycle better than walking." However, at McGill's pace there was concern that the group which rode on the street as much as safety would permit wouldn't complete the trip around the lake before sunset. Having ridden 2-1/2 miles, McGill turned around on the U.S. 27 North sidewalk across the highway from the News-Sun office. Laura Maibauer, a regis- tered and licensed dietitian with Highlands Regional Medical Center, rode back with McGill. "They were pretty nice," McGill said, dismissing any notion that she might have been "intimidated" by the fancy clothes and fast bikes of the other riders. "One guy even said, 'I spent all this money on my bike and I didn't even get a bell.'" "beautiful flowers and such" that they encountered. "I was surprised to see my next door neighbor," McGill said, referring to Maibauer. "She plays ball with her dog in the yard when she gets home." Neither was aware that the other shared an interest in rid- ing bicycles. "Laura was nice," McGill said. Having dropped her neighbor off at the Sebring Civic Center, Maibauer continued counter- clockwise along Lakeview Drive, until she encountered the original group, joining them for what little remained of the ride. As the riders hung out in the parking lot, impressed by McGill's effort and accomplish- ment, she drove up from the beach, waving out her window as she drove home. She did some yard work before retiring for the evening, McGill said, explaining that though she may have been slower than the rest, she's no less capable. She and her husband used to ride together but it's been years since she last rode five miles in one shot, not since her children were young. Woody McGill died just shy of their 57th wedding anniver- sary and before their son gradu- ates from high school in a few weeks. Terrill Morris, of Morris Funeral Chapel and a past pres- ident of the Highlands Pedalers, invited McGill to attend the club's meeting at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday every month at the Kenilworth Lodge. Morris also handled the memorial service for her hus- band Woodrow "Woody" McGill, who died in March. While difficult to gauge what effect, if any, the ride had on the community, it was obvious that the silent riders were seen. Most motorists gave the large pack ample breathing room when passing and cheers out- numbered jeers by those who felt it necessary to honk, wave, flash their high-beams, or yell. Doris M. McGill, of Sebring, rings her bicycle bell Wednesday evening at the behest of her new fan club the Highlands Pedalers Bicycle Club. Where spandex and Lycra were the apparel of choice for most riders, McGill chose instead to wear a bonnet, floral print top, slacks and sandals for the 10-mile trip around Lake Jackson during the first Ride of Silence held in Sebring to honor fallen cyclists and raise awareness that cars and bikes share the road. while riding, struck by a bus' standard time for Rides of mirror.

Tuesday, May 9 Feels good to sleep in in a real bed. Had to take the bus to town or walk 1.5 miles to the post office. No walking today'. Had to pick up my shoes at the post office; Stupped boob home. Won't need them until mid-June. , Found a library; checked my Web site. John Roy has done a great job. Bought supplies before I ate. Hope all will fit in my bag. Got a roast chicken for dinner. Ate the whole thing. Meat sure tastes good after all those dried noodles. Wednesday, May 10 Five hikers staying at the motel. Discovered we could hire a van to take us back to the trail for $3 each. Everyone had things to do but me, so I went to breakfast, then back to the room for a nap while waiting for the others. We arrived at the trail about noon. Trail seems to be leveling out: Not so many steep grades. Hiked 10 miles. Camped with five from motel and two people from Germany. Thursday, May 11 Still have over a mile to go before I stop. Will be a 23-mile day. Trail still good: A few steep climbs and down hills. Most of the afternoon was through burned-out areas, perhaps a couple of years old. Blisters feel much better with shoes instead of boots. Pack is heavy with all the food I bought. Weather's nice. Looks as if all of us will camp together again tonight. Friday, May 12 Started hiking at 6:30 a.m., following creek about 250 feet below. At 11:30, I found a hot spring. Took shoes off, soaked, and swam about three hours. Barns, Andy, Crispy (man) and Janitor (woman) made it to springs and wanted to stay. I was ready to move on. Hiked until 10:30 p.m. a 28-mile day. At 2:30 a.m., I heard the others: Had decided to6" lke under full moon a.nd sleep during the day. I was off the trail far enough they couldn't see me. Gave them a scare by making an ani- mal noise. They decided to hike a few more miles. Saturday, May 13 Had a hard time getting back to sleep laughing their reaction to me scaring them. They kept going to a park about two miles past my camp. Feet sore today with blisters as large as two quarters. Couldn't get any speed, only 2 mph. Reached Interstate 15: A McDonald's, gas station, and Best Western. Had three burg- ers, fries and many Cokes. Get a room to rest my feet. Surprised to see Crispy and Janitor already there: Got a ride from the park. Knew they had- n't passed me. Crispy's shoes and feet were torn up from the nighttime 30- mile hike. He's waiting for a shoe shipment before hiking again. Rocks here are sharp and dig into shoes and clothes. Have holes in the seat of my pants. Can order smaller size: These are getting too big. Sunday, May 14 Bams came to the motel about 8 p.m. last night. Today, I left everyone there for lunch at BUSINESS OWNER MEET BUSINESS LENDER.

WACHOVIA Uncommon Wisdom Wachovia Bank, N.A. Member FDIC. 2006 Wachovia Corporation 062641 News-Sun, Sunday, May 21, 2006 7A Mahoney visits district with veteran Sen. Max Cleland Hears veterans' concerns in Sebring By PHIL ATTINGER News-Sun SEBRING Tim Mahoney wants local residents to know issues in the rural part of Congressional District 12 will get heard. That's if they help him defeat incumbent U.S. Representative Mark Foley. Wednesday, he and former U.S. Senator Max Cleland of Georgia stopped in Sebring at Sandy's Circle Cafe and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4300. Cleland, 63, a disabled Vietnam War U.S. Army veter- an and Democrat, said Washington, D.C., has one party in charge of the White House, Congress, and the courts. Quoting Gen. George C. Patton, Cleland said, "If every- body is thinking the same thing, somebody isn't thinking." Whether all Republicans or all Democrats, it undercuts the balance of power, he said. "If we can change 15 seats in America, we can take back the U.S. House," he said. Mahoney said the current Congress has forgotten working Americans whose "kitchen economy" is not doing very well. Floridians have $1,000 less in income, 650,000 of them have no health insurance or pay 53 percent more, thanks to the current administration, he said. Military Mahoney said his father-in- law, at 19 years old, helped clear the beaches at Normandy and his father was in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

A disabled Vietnam veter- an, Cleland supports Mahoney in his bid for District 12 against incumbent Representative Mark Foley. Also on hand were (from left) George Bennett, staff writer with the 'Palm Beach Post'; Zane Thomas, preparing to run for Florida District 77 against State Representative Denise Grimsley; and Patrick Hogan, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Highlands County. the VFW post that soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are as good as any American veteran. "I am not soft on defense," Mahoney said. "I will make sure they have absolutely all they need." Cleland added that the cur- rent military policy has under- mined domestic security. The U.S. National Guard should have been reinforced New Orleans, he said, not been sent overseas. Immigration Mahoney said it pained him to see illegal immigration paint- ed as a Mexican issue, when it's really about border security. Rather than turn 11-20 million undocumented workers into felons, Mahoney wants guest worker programs where immi- grants learn English and line up behind others for citizenship. Cleland also favors border controls, because the 9/11 ter- rorists, he said, came in through Canada. Tax cuts Mahoney calls tax cuts a "false choice." America, he said, has enough funds to solve its problems, if it lives within its means. However, he doesn't support cutting programs like veterans' benefits, foster care, or kids" breakfast programs, but would like to do away with "earmark" programs, otherwise called "pork projects." Last year, they totaled $29 billion, he said; this year, $26 billion.

He wants a strict separation between church and state. The only people he trusts to teach his daughter to pray are his wife and his minister. Privacy There is a true war on terror, Mahoney said. One man from Westin was killed by a bomber in Israel. An easy solution is to take liberty in the name of secu- rity, he said, but it's wrong. "I will find ways to improve security without taking liberty," Mahoney said. SFCC builds for the future By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun AVON PARK South Florida Community College will be breaking ground at 2 p.m. Wednesday, at 600 W. College Drive. The ceremony celebrates the coming Health and Science Education Center, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2007. Construction should begin in July. The two-story building, con- taining over 51,000 square feet of classrooms and laboratories will cost about $10.9 million. It will be one of the largest build- ings on campus, sitting on Lake Glenada's shore by the Dental Education Center. Ninety-five parking spots will be added to accommodate the extra traffic. The building, which has been years in the planning, will be home to an expanded nursing program and a new two-year radiological technician course. The college plans on dou- bling the number of nursing graduates. General biology, micro-biol- ogy, anatomy, general chem- istry, organic chemistry, and physics will be taught in some Courtesy graphic This is a rendering of the proposed Health and Science Education Center to be built on the shore of Lake Glenada at the South Florida Community College. It will house updated science labs and an enlarged nursing program, and should be completed in time for the fall semester of 2007. of the eight science labs. Dr. Norman Stephens, presi- dent of the college, said that SFCC is one of four colleges that joined in a consortium to construct the new building. By sharing information and using the same design and con- struction techniques, all of the colleges have saved on the cost. At the same time, by using local construction companies, each school keeps its autonomy. Matthews Construction will manage the construction in Highlands County. "We worked well together," Stephens said of the consor- tium, "and it made all the dif- ference." Once the new building is in place, the college will remodel the old space to create a larger boardroom and more adminis- tration offices. The goal is to create greater efficiency by bringing administrators into closer contract with each other.

Charges for an Internet shop- ping service have appeared on phone bills sent to BellSouth, Sprint, Verizon, 'AT&T and SBC Communications cus- tomers, triggering the investiga- tion into what might be a case of "cramming." Cramming is a practice that bills for extra serv- ices without the customer's knowledge. Crist's Economic Crimes Di vision began the imestigia- tion last \eek after the Tallahassee Democrat detailed the charges that several Sprint customers found on their bills. The $12.95 charges are for a service called Email Discount Network, which supposedly offers members a discount for Internet shopping done through the company's Web site. Further investigation revealed that BellSouth, AT&T, SBC Communications and Verizon customers also found the unau- thorized charges on their bills. According to Florida Statutes Ch. 364.604, phone companies are responsible for third-party billers who place charges on the phone bills. "These secret charges were placed on bills in hopes that no one would notice," said Crist. "In this case, someone did notice and we will investigate fully to make sure Florida cus- tomers are not forced to pay for services they did not order and do not want." According to the Southeast Florida Better Business Bureau, a number of complaints have been filed against the Plantation-based Email Discount Network as well as VoiceMail, a company that shares Email Discount's mail- ing address and employs simi- lar billing practices. Crist encouraged any consumers who believe they have similarly inaccurate charges on their phone bills to call his Fraud Hotline at 1-8669-NO'-SCAM (1-866-966-7226.)

TU i- F WITH TUFFLEY Christopher Tuffley Cooking is not for sissies Call me a male chauvinist. Until this week when I thought of kitchen work I thought women's work and easy. I mean how hard could cooking be for heaven's sake? I do it at home all the time and it's no big deal. Open the jar of peanut but- ter and spread the jelly. If I'm feeling in a gourmet sort of mood, I even toast the bread. So I thought, you know, I'd be working indoors and using tools like slotted spoons and quilted oven mitts. It would be like a day off. I don't suppose I'll amaze many of you when I say I was humbled in the Fred Wild Elementary School kitchen on Monday, but you can color me surprised. Turns out cooking for 800 people is an ordeal not for the faint of heart. In fact, it was as exhausting as roofing. And it wasn't just because the pots and pans are big, and therefore heavy and hard to lift when full although they are. Or because there is a monu- mental amount of cleaning to do that involves scrubbing and mopping although there is. No it was all that and much more. The fact is, there is no rest See COOKING, page 16A Hard work brings benefits By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Being part of a food service team is extreme- ly rewarding. But be prepared to work hard, because it is physical and goes on non-stop. It is not a job for the lazy or the slow. Sound basic arithmetic skills are a must, because there is a lot adding, subtracting, multi- plying and dividing. And of course, a love and understanding of children is a must. The work load comes from the large number of people served. "With about 750 lunches and up to 375 breakfasts, we're busy," Anna Woodham said. She is the food service man- ager at Fred Wild Elementary School. This is her first year at Fred Wild and to be a manager, but she has worked in school kitchens for 17 years. It was important, she empha- sized, that people understand how much team work is involved. While there are spe- cialties, bakers for instance, everyone has to know how to do everything because it is crit- ical to keep the food line mov- ing. That means-everyone has to work well together. If some- CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY/News-Sun Star Rivera stirs the black-eyed peas, enough to feed 800. She started as a temporary worker, hired through Sunshine Staffing, but has been a school board employee for seven years. Fred Wild Elementary School in Sebring has a team of six school board employees. Two of them are hard at work by 6 a.m., the others come in at 7 a.m. Two temporary workers come in at 9:30 a.m.. Everyone works until 1:30 or 2 thing needs to be done, then someone has to up and do it. Having worked together for a year, the women are as grace- ful as dancers, only moving at a breakneck pace. For example, Kathy Snyder bakes all morning then works a cash register as the children come in for lunch. Sylvia Walton will be slicing can- taloupe one minute and count- ing milk containers the next. Woodham's job is the most complicated as she has to keep track of menus and inventory as well as supervise food pro- duction. She has stacks of paperwork to do. Her work day starts as early as 5 a.m. Most of the women (there are also many men en|lo1ii -d in food service) at Fred Wild said they were attracted to the job because the schedule was perfect for people with school age children. However, the benefit pack- age offered even to part-time workers is generous enough to attract many. A general worker I, the entry level position, currently pays $7.92 an hour. Any worker under contract to work four hours a day also earns a benefit package that kicks the hourly wage up to be worth $21 an hour. That includes health insurance, sick days and retire- ment. The district pays $5,836 in health insurance for each con- tracted food service employee every year. At Fred Wild the regular crew is aided by two part-time workers who are hired through. private agencies. They are not' contracted school board employees, but-are sometimes hired when openings occur. That is how Walton made it to a school board position. She has been working in school kitchens for 26 years. Despite the challenges, Woodham said, "You know what? The ladies don't com- plain." Then she smiled. "My only pet peeve is don't let me run out of food. I try to make sure I order enough in the begin- ning. I don't like the words short or run out. I always have a back-up because I am not going to rui out of food." Here is the recipe for peanut butler cookies used in Highland., County schools.

May 21. 2006 Riverside Bank customers can 'Swipe, Sign & Win' Special to the News-Sun FORT PIERCE Riverside Bank has launched a campaign promoting the use of the .debit card "signature" option. Choosing to sign for debit card transactions rather than using a Personal Identification Number protects consumers from "shoulder surfing," a prac- tice in which identity thieves look over a consumer's shoul- der to steal access codes and other personal information for unauthorized debit and credit card transactions. To encourage customers to take advantage of this benefit, the bank is entering those who choose the signature option into its "Swipe. Sign & Win" contest. Riverside Bank customers using their debit cards between now and May 31, 2006, are automatically entered into a drawing for a 2006 Ford Mustang when they sign their receipt to complete the transaction. "Forty-six percent of Americans jhink an identity thief could steal their password or other personal information by shoulder surfing," said Jeff Merwin, executive vice presi- dent and director of retail bank- ing for Riverside Bank. "Yet a simple decision like choosing the credit option and signing for debit card purchases can stop this kind of identity theft."

Her parents own a bait and tackle store in Fort Lauderdale and from the age of 13 Porter road her bike nine miles to work there every weekend. "I grew up in this business and met so many pros like Shaw Grigsby and Hank Parker on the circuit back then. It was a mom and pop store, which is a dying breed. Today I'm the mom running this one since my husband is attending the police academy," Porter said. Her husband retired from the Marines (as part of the security force for embassies) and Porter is thankful for the six years experience of living overseas in Japan, Egypt and Berlin. Excited to be permanently set- tled in Lake Placid, now she's instilling her love of fishing to her 11-year-old Kevin and 8-year-old Jessica. "We're working our way around all these lakes and boat ramps in the area," Porter said. Porter carries the newest tackle, but nothing frivolous. She said, "All these hooks, worms and lures really work. After all, a fisherman is only as good as what hefishes with." Although she feels she is an amateur fisherman, she loves the sport and carries maps of COOKING Continued from 13A on this job because there is always something else to do. If you aren't stirring a pot, you're peeling cantaloupes, or washing pans or making cook- ies or tossing salad, or putting groceries away. Never mind manning the serving line.

That's one reason Anna Woodham, the food serv- ice manager, comes out to back up the servers and keep the line moving. '-. '..* ...-... SUE ANN CARPENTER/NCws-Sun Lake Placid Bait and Tackle owner Brynda Porter scoops up some worms for fishing, the area lakes and can even line up a guide for any request. For new people who want a relax-. ing hobby, she likes to start peo- ple out.easy, with a telescopic, or even a cane pole for $10. She even encourages people to bring in a photo for her Local Catch Bragging Board. The live bait.consists of shin- ers, night crawlers, red worms and crickets. Porter carries rod and reel combos that are ready "Good choice," she said gently, time after time, herding, the students along. And there are choices to be made. What side dish, for instance, or whether to pick the alterna-. tive meal of peanut butter and jelly and goldfish crackers. I was lucky the day I was there. We served a McRib like barbecue pork sandwich and a peanut butter cookie with sides of fresh fruit or tossed salad. That meant I only had to put a sandwich and the cookie on a plate actually a Styrofoam ira ,. ilMII them ,' es money. bec.ti e there is nio clean-up. When I rciiirned on Tuesday tu Lake photographs, lunch was chicken and rice with black- eyed peas. That meant Lynette Pringle, working the line, had a scoop in each hand, one for the chicken and rice, one for the black-eyed peas, and ,*as fill- ing each plate with a single sweeping movement. Her kind of accuracy and speed only, comes with experi- ence. I'd had problems keeping up with an easy dry meal to to go. There are not only name- brand hooks like Matzuo, but she also packages her own more affordable types. Name-brand plastic worms like Mann's Hard Nose is a hot seller. "I have my 'wish list' and when I have enough requests, I get them in. I like to help .the small person, because I know there -are lots of people that have to fish as a food source. Best of all. is that fishing brings serve. Now there is a short break between classes,, but it's not a break from work for the servers. Let me put it this way. There was a Charles Adams cartoon in the New Yorker magazine years ago. A man is feeding pigeons. Over several frames more and more pigeons descend, until you can't see the man. Then in last frame the pigeons fly off, and all that is left of the man is a skeleton. Well, that's what the line looks like as two classes of hungry students go through it.. It means the short break is spent replenishing the food, working double quick. The milk cooler especially has to be restocked. There are four types of milk, all 2 percent or no fat: Chocolate (the run away best, seller), strawberry, vanilla and plain. But you can't just sling the milk half pints into the serving case, you have to inventory them first. So you run back to the walk-in cooler, count out and record the num- the whole family together.

Chamber celebrates commerce By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY News-Sun SEBRING Members of Sebring's chamber of com- merce gathered at the Restoration Center Thursday night to celebrate a year of hard work. The mood was festive and relaxed. Mike Carter, outgoing presi- dent of the chamber, pointed out that part of the celebration reflected a growing economy. He said 32 grand openings have taken place in the preced- ing year, about three new busi- nesses a month. He looked forward to the opening of a new welcome cen- ter and chamber presence on U.S. 27 in what has been the 'Highlands Today offices. He quickly added the chamber's main office would remain on the historic Circle.' Carter was pleased that the chamber has increased its com- munity activity, citing the spon- sorship of the Christmas Parade and Race Week's Circle of Speed. Carter took over as president unexpectedly and in tense times a year and a half ago. His pred- ecessor and the chamber's Jaron Nash is graduating form Sebring High School. He looks for- ward to a career as a registered nurse anesthesiologist. He received a scholarship for $4,000. With Nash are Mike Carter (left), outgoing chamber president, and Dan Andrews, chamber executive director. executive director had left office with little notice. He had to step into the breech. Incoming chamber president, South Florida Community College President Norman Stephens, praised Carter and thanked him for his work. Stephens said members would build on the foundation created by Carter and Dan Andrews, the chamber's execu- tive director, by partnering, stewardship, and commitment to community. "We' can only imagine what lies ahead on the road untrav- eled," Stephens said. He added that by working together to secure and maintain advances, the community could create the outcome it wished for. Other individuals were hon- ored for their contributions to Sebring and the chamber of commerce. They are: * Directors of the Year -Mike Kirouac and Susan Jones. * Volunteer of the Year -Tony Qualls. * Business of the Year Sun 'N Lake Golf & Country Club. * Outgoing Board Member - Stanley Wells of Wells Dodge Chrysler. * New Board President Dr. Norm Stephens (also president of South Florida Community College). * New Board Members -Kim Heintz, branch mana- ger with Highlands Indepen- dent Bank; Don Elwell, general manager of the Kenilworth Lodge; Mario Trevino, finan- cial advisor with Merrill Lynch. * Table Decorating Contest Winners first place, Mobility Express (second year in a row); second place, Heartland National Bank; third place, News-Sun.

I 18A News-Sun, Sunday, May 21, 2006 The Last Chance may be the best chance By PAULINE AU YANG Special to the News-Sun The United Way Helping People in Crisis team recently visited The Last Chance Ranch in Venus, a non- profit institu- tion for male juvenile delin- quents. Although the institution serves juveniles, this is not a boot camp, but a learning envi- ronment where under the guid- ance of the Florida Environ- mental Institute staff, the resi- dents learn skills that will assist them to re-enter the community. They receive training in respect to manners, weights, computer, farming, building and mainte- nance, furniture designing, culi- nary skill and General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Executive Director Jimmy Davis said, "We create a special environment that treats every youth that enters our program as a worthwhile individual with three important character- istics warmth, discipline and a job." Two of the residents shared a letters filled with the hope that other young people will be able to learn from their mistakes. One resident, Brandon, is from Riviera Beach, in Palm Beach County. He wrote, "I am 15 years old and I have lived a life of crime and violence. My crimes were mostly assault and battery. ',"I know that I have a prob- lem controlling my anger and people can easily set me off. For example, while attending school my 'homeboys' and I had a fight with the principal; this was my first charge. Then I went to an alternative school for hard-to-handle students. "After this I had some family problems. My dad and I didn't get along. We got into it one day, and I was arrested for assault. That was the charge that sent me to Florida Environmerital Institute (FIE). While at FIE, I had some prob- lems with my behavior and atti- tu.de. I found myself disrespect- ing staff and placed on behav- i6ral work detail. I also found . myself in several altercations with my peers. "As a result I was sent to the detention center. After being there for 21 days, I started thinking this is not for me. This is not the way I want to go out. I want to go home and be with my family. That being the case I decided I am going to start doing the right thing. I knew that this was not going to be easy but I have made up mind not to blow a second chance I have been given to get myself together. "My plans for the future are varied. When I graduate from the program I plan to return to high school and play school sports. I hope to earn a scholar- ship in football and basketball. I am also interested in a career with the naval academy. What- ever happens in the future, it, does not include a life of crime. I am finished with that. That kind of life is left behind. Being incarcerated is not for me. I do not ever want to lose my free- dom again., so I have to make a change.' Deontae is 16 and attended Lakewood High School. "After attending Lakewood and before, I was chilling in the street, smoking weed and sell- ing it. My 'homeboys' and I were doing anything and every- thing for money--breaking into houses and sellingwhat we took from the house, robbing people and jumping people all just for money. No! This does not make me feel like a thug or a gangster. This is just life for people like me. "Many people say finding jobs is a good thing, but for young people like me who are into drugs, money and girls, it is hard to find a job. ... By being a person about drugs and money, I am now an inmate and student at FEI, the Last Chance Ranch. "I have been here for nine months and a few days. So far I have gotten better in manners and respect, good leadership and social skills. My current rank is Buck-A-Roo and soon to be a Ranch Hand. I will be released in June. .. "I would like to be a game designer or a massage therapist, Doing either one of these things will make me happy. Later in life I would like to get married and have six kids. Hopefully, they won't have to go down the same road as I did. ...." Last Chance Ranch which receives financial contribution from United Way, is on a large farm with vegetables, roosters and hens, pigs, goats, horses, donkeys and dogs.

The Sebring and Avon Park post offices collected about 55,000 pounds of food during the food drive. Goin' Postal collects over 1 ton of food to complement local 'Stamp Out Hunger' drive Special to the News-Sun The generous citizens of Highlands County again showed their tremendous sup- port during the annual National Association of Letter Carriers Annual Food Drive on May 13. In order to assist the carriers in their quest to surpass last year's estimated collection of 46,000 pound, the Goin' Postal locations at 3609 Sebring Parkway and 461 S. Commerce Ave. collected food for the two week period preceding, May '13th. The net result was a wind- fall of donated food, far exceed- ing the expectations of the Goin' Postal staff. In all, Goin' Postal collected approximately 2,755 pounds of food, both in their stores and on Saturday's collection, thereby contributing to the success of the local estimated collection of 55,000 pounds of food. All of the donated food stays right here in Highlands County, thereby benefiting our own res- idents in need. Beneficiaries include the Salvation Army, New Testament Mission, Church Services in Avon Park, and others. t. C.S. 'ETdzuards Realty Inc.

This Laur means there are suitcases in my den, empty cereal bowls have proliferated on my kitchen counters, and our dog Perky has been in heaven. John made straight A's this last semester in college, which' he will tell you is no mean feat. If you look at his grades, you would come to the conclusion that he was quite smart. You might rethink that if you had been in our house this past Wednesday. I have to break here and describe the dinner hour on Wednesday in the Ware house- hold. Because we attend Bible Study on Wednesday evenings, dinner often is a rushed affair with people gulping down, food so as not to be late. Add to this the fact that John, James, and I had spent a couple of hours pre- vious involved in an important computer game and we were in 'S LOOK a even more of a hurry. John decided he Ware did not want any baked chicken for dinner. Instead, he elected to micro- wave a can of soup. He pulled out a deep blue bowl and filled it with chunky pepper steak soup. To his surprise, when he opened up the microwave, he found the bowl had cracked in two and his soup was covering the glass plate on the bottom of our microwave. Also in the microwave was the spoon he had apparently left in the bowl when he put. it in the microwave. Now, if putting a metal spoon in the microwave is not enough to qualify as less than smart, keep reading. John decided he was really hungry, so after he picked out the two big pieces of glass that had once been a bowl, he proceeded to eat the soup off the glass microwave plate. As an adult and a mom, I nat- urally expressed concern about possible glass in his soup. John's response was that if he started choking I would know there was glass in the soup. He is fine as I type this and it looks like there was no glass in his soup. Still, it's not something I would recommend. However questionable John's actions might have been, they do not compare with the actions of one Stevie Spencer. Mr. Spencer was painting at his home in North Carolina when he took a break to have a, ciga- rette. Now you might think that the smoking alone would be less intelligent than eating soup from a broken bowl. But wait, there's more. After finishing his cigarette, Mr. Spencer decided to douse the butt into a bowl he had placed on the coffee table. He thought it contained water. Somehow it had slipped his mind that the bowl contained paint thinner, not H20. The-paint thinner ignited. The fire spread to some papers. Spencer got his wife out of the house and then tried to battle the blaze with a hose. By the time firefighters came to the house, it was too far gone to save. Finally I can't end this col- umn without talking about the college student in England who had too much to drink. While drunk, he somehow managed to climb 100 feet up into a pine tree. Once up there, he fell asleep. The student woke up wrapped around a branch, hav- ing avoided somehow falling out of it. He used his cell phone to call for help. According to the article I read, it took eight firefighters 90 minutes to get the confused man out of the tree. ' Remember as you read these tales: these people are not pro- fessionals. And you shouldn't try any of these things at home. Laura Ware is a Sebrming resi- dent. She can be contacted by e-mail at bookwormlady@ earthlink.net. Pay attention to the laws passed Editor: Last May I wrote about our government letting us down since 1973, the time of the last real gasoline shortage. In the news recently, our government has been letting us down longer than that., That is, the very real problem of illegal immigrants. *- Our president and congress have said they will do some- thing about it. Why not five years ago? 20 years ago? Where is Will Rogers when we need, him? That beloved philosopher/comedian of de- cades past talked about every thing. "I never met a man I did- n't like," "All I know is what I read in the newspaper," "So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family par- rot to the town gossip." He often chided congress; a good one: "When congress makes a joke, it's a law and when they -, make a law, it's a joke!" That one was far more, prophetic than anyone knew at that time, or since. Our congress passed some laws, rules, etc. concerning immigration many years ago.. The joke has been that hardly anyone in our government paid any attention to those laws. Now we hear of government officials estimating from 11 to 20 million illegal immigrants now in our country. Their esti- mates are no better than mine. Now they are .going to do something about it. No, I'm not a betting man. First they need to find out who is who. Then they need to make legal those who show they can begood cit- izens and allow for sponsors for those who can and will become good citizens. Many of those; who are good workers and of. good character, really should become citizens. Rules ,, need to be changed. I urge everyone to support groups like U.S. English Inc., who have been lobbying con- gress to make English the offi- cial language. This lack of lan- guage unity and unreasonable numbers of non-citizens are real problems for our country. - Also, contact members of both houses of congress. I have. A.W.

Patricia Hale Sebring Real ID Act is Big Brother Editor: Oh for the good old days when Big Brother merely watched you. Soon he'll be coming home with you in what you buy, wear, drive and read. Radio Frequency Identific-. ation, a wireless technology that allows objects and people to be tagged and tracked, is tak- ing its place in an impressive array of tools that businesses and government agencies can use to collect information about you. The RFID tags contain microchips and tiny radio 'Blaming the media is a tried and true method that charlatans use to distract from bad news.' ALEX JONES, director, Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, 2004 antennas and are embedded in products or stuck on labels. The tags transmit a unique identify- ing number to an electronic reader, which in turn links to a computer database where infor- mation about the, object is stored., Unlike bar codes, however, radio tags broadcast the unique identifying number of the item to any compatible reader within a range, from a few inches for credit cards, up to 20 feet for merchandise tags, and up to 750 feet for. battery-powered tags in toll passes. The reader then communicates with a computer database, where information linked to that ID number is stored, such as details about when a product was manufactured, and who bought it or medical records of people who have tags implant- ed. That database in turn can be linked to other networks via the Internet to allow 'for more widespread data sharing. National issues are being raised by the federal Real ID Act of 2005, which mandates that states provide machine' readable data on drivers' licenses, credit cards and other widely distributed Ids. Government will negotiate contracts with the private data collectors/brokers to obtain personal -information they oth- erwise might be legally prohib- ited from collecting.

Electronic passes with RFID tags that let you speed through toll booths can also create a history of your automobile's movements on toll roads. RFID can'also keep track of where you go and how many miles you have driven. I believe that in the future, when we go to register our cars we will be charged a mileage fee or tax upon how many miles we have driven that year. The FDA has called for widespread use of RFID on prescription drugs by 2007. Libraries often use RFID tags in books to -deter theft and allh:i -for self checkout. In the near future many cell phones are. expected to use RFID to function like credit or debit cards. In the year 2007 anyone applying for a new U.S. pass- port or renewing an existing one will be issued the new e- Passport, which contains an RFID chip. Already some com- panies are requiring their employees to have an RFID implanted in their arms. Microchip implants has been prophesied for many years now, and a close reading of the Book of Revelation and other scriptural references will make clear what is happening. The move toward globalization and the use of microchips to replace cash and to order society are signs that the time of the com- ing of the anti-Christ and the tribulation is nearing, but so is the second coming of our blessed Lord. It is the duty of your clergy to warn and prepare you; if they are not, find another church immediately, so take the warning and be vigilant. Wendy Griffin Sebring 12 months is more like it Editor: The article you had on 12 days of Hurricane Prep was very informative, but I have to share this very important extra thought, especially with the people at the American Red Cross. The idea of buying one of these items each day to take advantage of the sales tax break is wonderful, but they failed to mention that a loan would probably be necessary to allow many folks to afford such a list of items. Unfortunately there are a number of us that couldn't buy these items over a 12- month period, due to limited finances. Perhaps there are other suggestions that are less costly. None of us wants to be a hur- ricane victim, but there are fac- tors besides the storm itself.

She was right- "right on," as we used to say. What I would like to see is teachers swap classrooms once in a while, teachers At the last bell just a few days before public schools broke for the summer, I left , a classroom and ,v dodged students headed for home. They moved as if an unseen force was driving them on at breakneck walk to WRI reach the yellow and black district school Cn buses and the rows Ric Li of cars, pickups and Ri Lil SUVs, waiting for the surging throng. I was going in the same gen- eral direction, so I flowed with the flow, as they say. When I got to the administra- tion wing, where the classroom key would hang on the back of the door to the office of the bookkeeper, I strolled down the short hall and saw a friend. We had one of those brief Nice To See You conversations that probably lasted about a minute. On a visit from the district office, she asked me how I liked substitute teaching. How do I like being a "sub?" I like it. She said, "You know, I have always told new teachers that they should spend a year sub- bing.". "I've learned a lot," I said. "I bet you have," she smiled. Others gathered around and our short chat ended, just as quickly as it had begun. I hung the key on the back of the bookkeeper's door and smiled. I said a goodbye to the bookkeeper and headed out the back door of. the administration wing, on the way to my car, on my own way home from anoth- er day at school. Last year, I taught full time; for me and for the kids who come to school. I have a little speech I've given a few times. It goes something like, "I'm here to protect the learning atmosphere for the students who are here to study and learn." If a student tries to take over the classroom, he or she is escorted to the Office of Dean. I am encouraged by the results of middle school experi- ments that separate boys, and girls. In a California school dis- trict, within 30 days of "sepa- rate but equal" learning envi- ronments, the aggregate per- centage of test score increases averaged to about 10 percent, within one month. From a school-teaching fam- ily, I am just as puzzled as you are about the lack of respect for our public schools. "Bloom Where You're Planted" seems to sum it up for kids who are just beginning the journey from childhood to adulthood. "Begin Where You Are" could be another one. It helps to meet these kids, get to know these kids, try to relate all the things subs are supposed to do. And then, there were the times when the teachers left les- son plans that asked me to actu- ally teach. Hey, if you want to know what is .going on in our class- rooms, park in the school park- ing lot and find the administra- tive office, sign in, put on a vis- itor's pass and check us out.

This school year, I've walked into other teacher's classrooms and looked around, looked at the general layout of the class- rooms, and spent a lot of my time looking around, especially if the teacher I'm subbing is a veteran teacher. The walls are filled with so many ways to choose a positive attitude. My favorite this year is "Bloom Where Your Planted," a large, long poster in the class- room of the district's Social Studies Teacher of the Year.

Any of those would require the county to buy homes and lots, unlike Alternative 1 (blue), which would go through Highlands Hammock State Park.

Some alternative routes could run through Sebring Hills and, to a lesser degree, Sebring Country Estates. While the alternatives are very prelimi- nary, they could affect a signif- icant number of homes. On Tuesday, county commis- sioners ordered a section of the proposed C.R. 635 extension on the eastern edge of Highlands Hammock State Park removed from long-range plans. In addition, planners under- stood Commission Chairman Bob Bullard to say he wanted them to look at alternate routes, get feedback on them, talk to the Florida Division of State Lands on a swap for right of way in the. park, and run traffic models without that section of toad. Also, commissioners wanted planners to take the "cloud' off home sales in Golf Hammock, along the original proposed route. Planners will present prelim- inary alternate routes to the Long-range Transportation Committee at 10 a.m. Wednesday. The committee meets in the Engineering Department training room at 501 S. Commerce Blvd., Sebring. Planner Don Hanna said Friday that staff wanted to have another workshop on the long- range transportation plan, to follow-up last Tuesday's dis- cussion with commissioners, however, they couldn't make the deadline for May 23. There won't be a meeting May 30. It's Labor Day and the fifth Tuesday of the month, when the county commission will not have a regular meeting. The earliest county commis- sioners can have a second workshop on the plan is June 6, Hanna said. Alternatives? Current options, besides tak- ing the road through the eastern edge of the state park, are as follows, with some estimated impact to homes: * Crane Street. To widen Egret Street south from Thunderbird Road to Wren Avenue, east to Crane Street, then south to Hammock Road would require buying 138 hous- es. * Puffin Street. To run a road south off Cougar Boulevard for a half mile to Sebring Hills Phase 3 an undeveloped area west of the subdivision then southeast to the junction of Puffin Street and Howey Road (in Sebring Hills) and then south along Puffin Street to Hammock Road would require buying nine houses and 341 lots. * Heron Street. This option would follow the same course south from Cougar Boulevard as the Puffin Street option, but would head east on Howey Road to Heron Street before heading south to Hammock Road. The county would need to purchase 26 houses and 334 lots. Viable? Hanna said early studies don't suggest an alternative that is as viable as going through the state park, if the state will trade the land. He said development servic- es staff is also doing a proximi- ty study, based on the presump- tion that homes might lose value by being within 300 feet of a major collector road. That would affect far more houses, Hanna said. One way? Right now, the circulation system in Sebring Hills behind Lakeshore Mall is inadequate, Hanna said. People already use the residential streets as north- south connectors. When asked if creating one- way streets through Sebring Hills would help accommodate more traffic, he said it's great for getting traffic out of a con- gested area, such as an urban downtown. However, one-way streets tend to destroy residen- tial areas, and promote com- mercial growth, Hania said. ..$58.99 Ask us about the adiiuW Nitrogen VS.

I braked. What I had seen in my side view mirror and with a turn of my head convinced me it was better to wait. But the person in the car behind me didn't agree. The honking horn was persist- ent. Still, I kept watch and tried not to let this impatient driver push me out before the right time. My biggest concern was that the driv- er, s agitation would cause him to try to get around me and possibly cause an acci- dent. Rather than become flus- tered, I prayed to make the right judgment call. Only a couple of minutes passed before I was able to safely pull out. But, it must have seemed like an eternity to the restless driver behind me. I'm convinced that though he thought he could see what was coming, he wasn't able to see what I could see from my perspec- tive as the lead car. That incident got me to wondering if that's what we do with God sometimes. We see what we think is the full view of things and bombard heaven with our requests. We're so sure of ourselves and what the answer should be. But we get flustered when God's answer is delayed. We may even shake our fists at the sky in our impitieinie for-the answer we feel we deserve, Our agitation isn't rewarded however. We've brought our request to God, but we haven't rested in him. Just tried to get him to move based on what we can see. He's up ahead. He can see what we cannot. How much better it is to trust him and his eternal perspective. Pushing our own agenda would be a foolish decision and cause more grief. "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him," Psalm 37: 7a, NIV. That morning when the break in traffic finally came, I eased out only to watch the other driver zoom past and catch up with the cars ahead. Once again the push was on as he weaved in and out trying to pass. Sometimes we get to a yield sign and can pull right out. Even so, sometimes we call on God and his answers startle us'because they come so quickly. But, when that isn't the case, we need to take care not to hastily manipulate circumstances, pull strings or ignore warn- ings in order to achieve a desired result. Yield and wait patiently on the One who loves us and has our best interests at heart. The results will count for now and eternity. Selah.

Here are their winning essays as they wrote them: By JESSICA NAVARRO There are many people in this huge world, but there's one per- son who I admire. This person volunteered for the United States 'Marine Corp, is very independent in accomplishing goals and is very loyal. This person I admire is my wonder, ful grandpa "Walter McGuire." The reason I admire him is because of these three things: sets a great example for me and it makes a good citizen out of a person. First, volunteering for the service is like volunteering for a nightmare. But my grandpa was strong enough to realize it was- n't a nightmare and it wasn't a mistake. It was leading him and his country to, victory, showing what the American flag meant and to save lives. My papa "He volunteers to fight for his coun- try and that's what he'll do." This showed me that he was brave, heroic and willing to risk his life to save hundreds of oth- ers. This touched me deep down ELAINE SEDLOCK/News-Sun Four fifth-grade students hold awards earned for their participation in the annual 'My Favorite Older American' essay contest They were honored Thursday by Nu-Hope Elder Care Services Inc.

Second, my grandfather always had a goal to accom- plish since he was a lad. Anyone in his family could see he had more goals than the hairl on his head. Of course, his major goal was to finish high school, college and raise his children properly mannered, right choice makers and as brave and noble as he once was and still is. Another one of his goals is to be independent as long as he can because he wants to be able to do things on his own. Last, finding a loyal person is pretty hard, but my grandfather is not only giving and sharing, but is also, believe it or not, loyal. He helps his neighbors who need assistance to the hos- pital or to get up. He also opens the door for people, is not a back-stabbing friend and is an' everyday helper. He volunteered for the serv- ice, is setting goals like crazy and is helping everyone. My grandpa has done such great things in his life and has earned to be my favorite person. Out of this huge world, I admire only him. By JESUS FONSECA Who is my favorite older American? I don't know who's yours, but I sure know who's mine. He's a plumber and a hero, a.k.a., fireman, Mr. Charles. He was our favorite plumber. Any time we needed him day or night, he was determined to get the job done. One night we did- n't have water to drink or fill my dad's water gallons for my dad's workers to drink and so he came and fixed the water pipe. He was also a fireman, a fire- man who worked 24/7 to save people's lives. If he wasn't, my house would've been burned Christians seek answers to By KATHY GRANT News-Sun correspondent SEBRING Following the release of the movie, "The Da Vinci Code," many questions will challenge established beliefs about Jesus. To answer those questions, First Baptist Church of Sebring is hosting a CCN simulcast today at 6:45 p.m. This event is designed for those who are already Christians or are seekers and have already read the book or seen the movie or are simply curious about this phenomenon. The 90-minute broadcast is hosted by Lee Strobel and Mark MIttelberg. Dr. Erwin Lutzer will conclude. Strobel is a former spiritual skeptic and author of "Inside the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Marry." He was the legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and has served as teaching pastor at mega-churches, Willow Creek and Saddleback. Mittelberg was the primary author of the "Becoming a Contagious Christian Training Course," which has been translated into 20 languages and taught to more than a million people worldwide. Lutzer has been the senior pastor of The Moody Church since 1980. His is a writer of more than 20 books and international conference speaker. His most recent work is "The Da Vinci Deception." The simulcast will wrap up with a live, interactive question-and-answer session for the satellite audience. The first simulcast, given close to a month ago, had an impact on its viewers. It was designed mainly as a training course for those in the ministry and laypeople who minister. The Rev. Dr. James Henry, pastor of First Baptist Church of Sebring, actually read the book and attend- ed the simulcast. "I'll go along with what George Barna said: 'It was a very good mystery and abysmal theology.' You assume in a novel that the background is accurate but that isn't necessarily so. I doubt if I'll see the movie, but I'll have to wait and see." The Rev. Bill Cole, associate pastor of education at First Baptist of Sebring, said "I'm not planning to see the movie but I'm planning to read the book." In fact Cole is leading a private Bible study on "The Da Vinci Code" called "Breaking the Da Vinci Code." "We had seven tonight," he said of those who attended. "The biggest challenge is Dan Brown's claim that the book is factual and clearly researched. All of his 'facts' are wrong." For example in Da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper, on the right hand of Jesus is the Apostle John. Brown claims that really it's Mary Magdalene. According to Brown, it was Da Vinci's way of indi- when the forest was on fire. I remember it as if it were yester- day. The fire truck racing by and Mr. Charles driving. He parked the car and there I saw him putting the fire out. We would sometimes go dii go-cart rides by his house and do all sorts of fun things. My mom would sometimes make tacos for us to go on a picnic. Mr. Charles had many prob- lems, but he would always solve them. He could solve and solve, but he had one problem he could never control, his death of cancer. He died on his anniversary. I owed him so much, I didn't know how to repay him and that's why I say thank you in my prayer. Third place | By AMANDA DeRENZIS Everyone admires someone. The person that I admire tells great stories about his child life, spends time with me and he served our country in the Navy. The person that I admire is my grandpa. He is 74 years old and he's very special to me. My grandpa is one of the best grandpas in the world. Caii you believe that ilmy grandpa just had to tell his par- ents where he was going and he could go there alone. My grand- pa says it was very different when he was a child. Like in one of his stories, all he had to pay was a nickel to go to the movies. You think that was cheap today, but it was expen- sive back then because if you had a job, all you made was $12 a week. Back then it was a lot safer than today, so the kids could play without parent eye contact. Like my grandpa, he could go to the park and the movies without his parents. But today there are bad guys all around so kids have to be with- in parent eye contact. Also we get a lot of money when we lose See ESSAY, page 6B 'The Da Vinci Code' casting that Magdalene was married to Jesus. "The question arises where was John?" Cole asked. That would leave only 11 apostles present rather than 12. The piece of fiction focuses on the misconception that Jesus and Mary Magdalene married and had a child and that the bloodline continues to this day. However, Brown claims that the Catholic church kept it a secret. Elaine Ables, of Zolfo Springs, is another person who read the book and attended the first simulcast. "(The simulcast) encouraged every Christian to read the book. I think it's important as a Christian to read it so we know what our response should be. I think to defend our faith we should be informed about it. It's controversial and contradicts everything (Christians) know." Bobbie Henderson, of Sebring, also attended the simulcast. She added that she leaned more about how uninformed non-Christians can be about the Bible. "Christians need to study their Bibles more to respond to those who are seeking answers." Norma Page, of Sebring, said of the simulcast what impressed her the most was "None of the historians would back (Dan Brown, the author)." She also was impressed with Dr. Paul Maier, author and history professor at Western Michigan University. Page does not intend to read the book or see the movie. "I'm not a murder mystery reader anyway and I didn't want to get irritated with things that speak against the Lord." Jenny Barrett, of Sebring, said she was "very impressed" in the first simulcast with Maier. She added, "I don't think there is anything wrong with reading the book or seeing the movie. I just choose not to." Ken Schmidt, of Sebring, saw the first simulcast but is really looking forward to today's broadcast. "I think this one is going to be outstanding. You can use it as a springboard as to what is fact or fiction. People are looking for answers." 2B News-Sun, Sunday, May 21, 2006 Ike Lee, M.D. Internal Medicine TrN a hlk-k Lariu%.i t %ongk lWurnt,% in rw - - - a - - S -- a ~ - - -a - - a - a - a - - ~- a S. - -~ a. - Ask. -100- - - * 0 .

While in most instances he has been correct, he was happily less than accu- rate with regard to our returning to the remodeled and refur- bished Avon Park Library. We "came home" and fell in love with it. The design flowing from the creativity of Suzanne Hunnicutt of Chastain-Skillman and the coordination of the interior by John Cumming of CBA Library Studio Inc. melded to form a space of unique beauty and functionality. Upon entering the library a vista of its entire depth is pre- sented. As the eye is swept to the back, the view is saved from being boringly cavernous by the accents on both sides. Beyond the book drop on the right is the new circulation desk. Its ebony color fronted with accents of shallow shadow boxes and insets of welcoming clay pineapple tops lends to the hint of Southeast Asian decor desired. The welcoming carved pineapple theme also is replicated on the tower on the outside as you enter the library. In the generous bay opposite the circula- tion desk is a forest of see-through orange bookshelves. Contained on these LIBRAI fascinating shelves - are the juvenile col- Don elections, the adult audio-visual collec- tions and the young adult fiction collection. Interspersed between these wonderfully airy shelves are task tables and settees. The Never let a dream die By SUE ANN CARPENTER News-Sun correspondent AVON PARK Novelist Sunny Serafino inspires readers with stories of courageous women and offers strength to face challenges. Set in 1950, "Beyond Innocence" is her newest novel. The heroine is Dorothea Fitz- Simmons, a prim, proper Bostonian who heads to New York City in a fit of rebellion for independence. She not only discovers love, but is catapulted into a web of deceit and danger. Serafino's previous books are "Secrets," the winner of a 2005 Florida Storytelling Association/National League of American Pen Women literary award; "Echoes," winner of a 2004 Royal Palm Literary Award for adult fiction; "Shadows in the Heart;" "Nobody's Child;" and "Pure Gold." Her only nonfiction work, "Following Daddy," is a humorous biography about her unconventional parents. Serafino, 74, started writing 11 years ago. "Never let a dream die. It may take time and Sunny Serafino effort and study, but it's always worth it. I had been a secretary for 47 years and had to learn to write. My main characters are all different, but they are all courageous and strong women. They are always portrayed real- istically and are faced with hav- ing to change in order to grow. I love contests. I recently entered 'Beyond Innocence' to a First Chapter Contest and won sec- ond place," Serafino said. Serafino is a member of The National League of American Pen Women and served as past president of the Vero Beach branch. She has served on the board of the Friends of St. Lucie County Libraries and is a member of the Treasure Coast Writers' Guild, Florida Writers Association and Morningside Writers' Group, and also finds time to teach creative writing. Although she previously lived on the east coast and had successful books and signing, she said she was drawn to this area because it is a calm and pretty escape. Her goal is to contribute to the local area by reaching out to readers and also writers. Serafino is a profes- sional speaker with Toastmaster and often addresses civic and church groups as well as women's clubs and organiza- tions on topics she writes about - dysfunctional families, domestic abuse, and yes, writ- ing as a career. Contact Sunny Serafino at 471-2065 or e-mail her at sun- nyone@strato.net or go to www.authorsden.com/sunny- serafino. "Beyond Innocence" is $17.95 and autographed copies can be purchased direct- ly from her. walls of our youngest readers' section are filled with small, colorful tropical fish all swimming toward the main seating area. On the right beyond the circula- tion and librarian's RY LINES desk is the approach -- to the entire fiction Brusha section. At the -- beginning on the left are 10 Internet termi- nals for public use, which back onto four tables with outlets for laptop comput- ers and wonderful looking lamps. Continuing back, the wall is covered with an 8-foot by 13-foot world map. One can easily immerse oneself in geog- raphy. Further back into the addition are all of the fiction collections, both regular and large print. This area contains all of the recent releases as well. At the juncture of the new east wing with north-south axis of the building, the panorama of the seating area is presented. This large floor-to-ceiling win- dowed area i tiled in faux slate with an oval, central carpet inlaid. The carpet is unique in that it graphically represents a rock-bottomed pond replete with fish. Overstuffed wicker chairs allow the contemplation of the "pond." The room is fin- ished off with lush greenery supplied to us by the Founders Garden Club of Avon Park. In this area also stands the Friends of the Library coffee stand where for a dollar one can drink oneself into a caffeine delirium. Beyond the sitting area resides the non-fiction collection, both standard and recent release, as well as the Spanish collection. The magazine and newspaper collections also are contained therein. Task tables in this area provide semi-quiet sites for serious perusal. On the front of the building is a separate entrance for the Friends of the Library book resale room. Browsers are encouraged. The Saturday afternoon film series has restarted in our expanded meeting room. A new home sound system has been mounted to give a near-theater experience. The list of Saturday films for the upcoming month are as follows: June 3 "Spare Parts," a much-admired Slovenian (English subtitles) film directed by Damjan Kozole; June 10 "Hawaii, Oslo," Norway's official Academy Award selection, directed by Erik Poppe and subtitled in English; June 17 "Anytown, USA," a distinguished docu- mentary by Kristian Fraga in English; and June 24 "Campfire," a multiple film competition award winner from Israel by Joseph Cedar. Films start at noon on each Saturday the library is open. They are free and all are wel- come. So there, we were able to come home, and we're happy about it and want to share that feeling with you. Don Brusha is the librarian at Avon Park Library. He may be reached by e-mail at dbrusha@myhlc.org or person- ally in the library.

This behavior often lands them in trouble. Your ani- mal may become poisoned in spite of your best efforts to pre- vent it. There are many plants which are considered toxic to pets. Fortunately, there are relatively few plants that, when ingested, cause acute life-threatening ill- nesses. Not all of the plants list- ed are toxic to all animals. Some may be toxic to one type of animal, and not another. Many, but not all, toxic plants are not very palatable. Therefore if given the choice, animals will avoid ingesting them even though they may be prevalent in the environment of the animals. Many toxic plants rarely cause problems because most dogs don't chew them - the exceptions of course, young puppies who are inclined to explore the world with their mouths, teething dogs may chew on everything, and older dogs that are simply fond of chewing. Toxic plants may contain wide variety of poisons. Reactions to poisonous plants vary from severe to mild. Most cause vomiting, abdominal pain and cramps. Some cause tremors, seizures, heart and respiratory and/or kidney problems, which are difficult to interpret. Other symptoms may GROWING SEASON Highlands County Master Gardeners include swelling of the mouth, lips and tongue that can make breathing difficult or cause asphyxiation. Mild symptoms may include itching and rash. To protect your pet, simply use common sense and take the same precautions you would with a child. Although rodent poisons and insecticides are the most common sources of com- panion animal poisoning, the following list of less common but potentially toxic agents should be avoided if at all pos- sible: 1. Chemicals used on lawns and gar- dens, such as fertiliz- er and plant food, can be easily accessible and fatal to pets if allowed in the yard unsupervised. 2. Plant-proof your home. Plants are an attractive part of home decorating however can be toxic to pets. Be careful what you bring in and monitor if your pet is getting into it. Ingestion of almost every plant can cause signs of vomiting and diarrhea. Easter lilies can cause fatal kidney failure. 3. Poisonous household plants include azalea, gerani- ums, dieffenbachia (dumb cane), lilies, mistletoe, philo- dendron, bird of paradise (seeds), bottlebrush (flowers), caladium, calla lily, daffodil, narcissus (bulbs), sago palm, ball fern, baby rubber plant, African violet, and jack-in-the- pulpit, to name a few. If you suspect your pet has been exposed to a poison, take 60 seconds to safely collect and have at hand the material ingested. Detailed information may be of great benefit to the poison control center and your veterinarian as they determine exactly what poisons are involved. Be as specific as pos- sible not just pesticide but what kind and active ingredients, and a general idea of how much was ingested. If you need to take your animal to the veterinarian, be sure to take with you the container from which the poi- son which was consumed or a sample of the plant. Anna R.

But my grandpa only got a dime or a nickel. That was a lot to him. My grandpa has a lot of stories like that, but those were only a few. My grandpa and I always spend time together. We plays games like Monopoly, go fish and marbles. We have different types of games with marbles. Our favorite one is when you use a shoe box and cut holes in it. Then we try to shoot the mar- bles into the holes. He also takes me places like St. Pete Beach. That was a really fantas- tic time. We go on the Disney Cruise together. On the Disney Cruise we go in the pool togeth- er. We play catch with a ball. Then we have ice cream. Our favorite kind of ice cream is chocolate. Mmmmmm good! At dinner we fight who gets the turkey leg. But we really don't fight, we are just messing around. I love it when my grandpa spends time with me. I have a really fun time. One of the most important things my grandpa did was, he served our country in the Navy during the Korean War. He was a Gunner Mate. A Gunner Mate is a person who operated and cleaned the big guns. The guns were called three Inch 50s. He traveled on a big air plane carri- er for six months at a time. The ship traveled to the Mediterranean and hit different ports every 10 days. He visited ports such as Italy, Spain and France. At the ports he toured the cities and experienced how other people lived around the world. I'm glad my grandpa served our country so we can have freedom and live a normal life. My grandpa is very special to me and his great stories, him spending time with me and Art League plans Kids Summer Art Camp LAKE PLACID Lake Placid Art League is excited to present five fun-filled weeks of the arts during the Kids Summer Art Camp.

But, I have to tell you although those reasons are very important, the absolute best reason I admire and love him is that he is a great grandpa and he loves me more than any- thing in the world. By SOLANGE GANTHIER Generous, helpful and deter- mined. These are the character- istics of Arthur Paterson, who we will c .Grandpa Pat, because, of course, he is my grandpa. In this essay I will pick ,some of his characteristics and tell you how he got them and how he has used them to become the respected member of the community he is now. First, I will tell you about his generosity. Grandpa Pat is a great supporter of education. He donates a lot of money to Xavier University, gives schol- arships through organizations like Guardsmen and helps schools near him through his business. The reason Grandpa Pat is such a big supporter of education is because when he was only 10 years old his father died and his mother became ill, so he was never able to finish school and gain the knowledge he wanted to. The thing I admire about Grandpa Pat the most is his determination, because even though he was never able to fin- ish school, that determination has made him the wealthy busi- nessman he is now. Generous? Yes. Determined? As always. Yep, this about sums up why Grandpa Pat is my favorite older American.

Close behind were Brian Bone, Eddie Freeland and Greg Albritton at 1-over playing the blue course. 15 Years Ago May 22, 1991: Kiwanis scored five runs in the fifth inning and staved off a late Kopta and Bennett rally to up its record to a perfect 8-0 with an 11-8 victory. David Farmer had three RBIs and Cedric Tate struck out 14 over seven innings to lead Kiwanis. Justin Jackson led off the fifth for Kiwanis with a sin- gle, then made it all the way home after a throwing error. Bo Turner added an RBI single, and Farmer's biggest shot came in the form of a two-RBI double to left-center. Trivia Time Q A What Cy Young Award winner was drafted by an NHL team?

Wilson throws for 333 yards, 2 TDs to lead Sebring to runaway win in spring game By SCOTT DRESSEL Sports Editor MULBERRY Consider the Sebring offense officially two dimen- sional. Already in possession of T.J. Williams, who rushed for 1,015 yards as a sophomore last season, the Blue Streaks unveiled a devastating passing attack in Friday's spring Se game at Mulberry as quarterback A.C. Wilson completed 9-of-14 2 passes for 333 yards and two Mul touchdowns and also ran for 52 yards and a pair of TDs to lead 4 the way to a 28-6 blowout. "That was a lot of fun," said Wilson, who will be a senior in the fall. Sebring's first four offensive plays were runs, exactly what the offensive game plan originally was set to feature. That all changed when wideout Sam Robinson ran right past his defender and Wilson dropped a bomb right into his hands for an 82-yard scoring strike on play No. 5. tri be 6 "We read that the guy was smaller than Sam and we knew Sam was athlet- ic," Wilson said. "We saw it was a mis- match and Sam stepped up and made the play." That set the tone for the night. All but two of Wilson's passes covered 20 yards or more and four of them went for 43 yards or more as the Streaks took [ng advantage of the Panthers' porous pass defense. "We weren't planning on throw- erry ing it that much," Sebring coach SJared Hamlin said. We took what they gave us and they gave us some things in the passing game. We were going to throw it a little bit, but they gave us a lot and we took it. "I was happy to see that. It's going to help us out. We're going to have a good running attack and if we show we can throw the ball, that's going to help (the running game)." Sebring's second scoring drive was also five plays, this time capped by Wilson's 28-yard scramble into the end SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Sebring quarterback A.C.

"One of our weaknesses is inexperience, but it's a strength, too. We're young and we can use that as an excuse or we can use it as a reason," added Williams. If. the Dragons can build off of positive and negative experience the way Williams has, success will follow. "A lot of people who are very experi- enced are experienced doing things the wrong way," Williams said. "When you teach these kids, they don't know what failure is at this point.

While the featured speakers at the ATLAS and ATHENA Conference in Palm Beach May 8 enlightened those in attendance, the Sebring repre- sentatives soaked up the knowledge and crossed their fingers. After the seminar, 17 Sports Illustrated schools would be announced. Back in March, Quarles submitted an application on the high school's behalf to the SI program. For Quarles, it - was an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a trail-blaz- ing endeavor and set an exam- ple in Highlands County. Most importantly, it was an opportunity to help kids. The SI schools program is JOCK TALES Marcus Wilkins the result of the insight and hard work done by Linn Goldberg and Diane Elliot, a pair of doctors who studied at the Oregon Health and Science University. Spearheading an entirely new approach to drug prevention and health promo- tion, Sports Illustrated awarded OHSU with its' first SI Champion Award, valuing $1 million in cash and public service announcements. OHSU and SI would pick 16 schools from four states to participate. One of those schools turned out to be Sebring. The two programs - ATLAS (Adolescents Training and Learning to Avoid Steroids) for boys and ATHENA (Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise and Nutrition) for girls are pre- cisely formatted to educate young men and women in sep- arate, student-led groups. For the girls, the curriculum focuses on eating disorders and nutrition. For the boys, the pro- gram centers on the dangers of steroid use. "I talked to the coaches ATHENA before hand and they said 'We don't have any boys doing steroids. Just look at them,' and that's what I thought, too," said Quarles. "Then I men- tioned it in my weight-training class, and the students said 'We know kids that are using them. We can get them on the Internet.'

FLING Continued from ID open on a crossing route and outran the defense to the goal line. Hoffner added a 65-yard reception on the Streaks' last possession, which ended at the 1-yard line when Wilson took a knee on the game's final play. "Kyle helped me out a whole bunch," Wilson said. "My two main receivers are Kyle and Sam and Kyle's been my main receiver since JV, so I think that's going to help out this sea- son." Hamlin was also glad to see Hoffner get involved in the passing game. "We got our tight end involved and our backs involved and Sam caught a cou- ple of balls, so we got several 'That was a lot of fun. A.C. WILSON, SHS QB people involved in the passing game, and that's a good thing," he said. The Streaks' defensive per- formance was also a good thing. With the exception of an 80-yard run by Ricky Parker that set up Mulberry's touch- down in the third quarter, Sebring bottled up the Panthers' wing-T offense and also got a pair of takeaways. "It's a toughoffense to stop," Hamlin said. "That's an offense I hate to see. We don't get to see that offense and it's hard for us to prepare for it because we don't show it very well, but they did a good job. r~ ~* -q ..1;.. SCOTT DRESSEL/News-Sun Sebring's Sam Robinson (right) looks for a way through the defense after catching a pass Friday night. Robinson caught three passes for 113 yards and a TD. They bent, but they didn't break and they made some plays and caused a few turnovers." Williams finished with 67 yards on 13 carries and had a 47-yard scoring run called back on a penalty. In the junior varsity quarter to open the night, Ronnie Brassell carried the ball on six of Sebring's eight offensive plays, scoring on a 5-yard run to lead the Streaks to a 7-0 win.

With the recent explosion of bad press steroids have attract- 4d through Major League Baseball, it's almost absurd to t think their abuse has been por- trayed in a positive light. One of the key observations made 15y the speakers is the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) imagery in the media. One particular ad campaign from the automobile manufac- turer Saab describes a new engine as being "like your old car, on steroids." Another illus- tration depicts the once whole- sofie images of Superman and Wonder Woman as fit but real- jstic-looking heroes replaced by muscle-bound, veiny super- humans. * Even the downfall of Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa can be construed as a result of their sudden, dis- continued steroid use. ' One of the reasons the ATLAS and ATHENA pro- grams are so successful is that they avoid the pitfalls that doomed other curriculum enhancers such as the DARE (Drug Abuse and Resistance Education) campaign. Separating the students into gender-specific groups makes the process much more rele- vant, and the student-led role- playing is far more effective than lecturing "Just Say No" propaganda. Appreciating the magnitude of the epidemic and the unpar- alleled research of Goldberg and Elliot, additional funding was provided by the Department of Children and Families and the Hanley Center. Florida became the only state to award 17 schools, but the increased odds didn't make Quarles and her fellow Blue Streaks less appreciative. Quarles hopes her ambition will be contagious when the program goes into effect to start the 2006-07 school year. "I wanted to apply because, although I don't think we have a (steroid) problem here, we have a responsibility," said Quarles. "We can't just turn our heads."
