Officers from the Hardee County Sheriffs, Office were dispatched to Old Town Creek Road at 7:36 a.m. Nov. 26 to the remnants of a burned car. A body was found in the trunk of the vehi- cle, a 1997 Lincoln Continental, that was reg- istered in Sebring. "There was a partial tag and partial VIN number," said Maj. Claude Harris of the Hardee County Sheriff's Office. "We were able to figure out it was registered to a Highlands County address (in Sebring)."

It helps to make your efforts seem worthwhile, and .it brings confirmation that you are doing something right in a world where there is so much current turmoil. Imagine doing the hardest job of your entire life, and having to spend all your thoughts and efforts into making sure th.i ouNu do it right because your life and the lives of others depend on you making the right deci- sions. You go through- that trial by fire, you get seriously injured in some way, and you have to step out of your rou- tine and relearn how to fit. Then you have to face the controversy, the self doubt, and the endless discussions afterwards, all while you are trying to just get on with life and readjust.

There was something for everyone among the 95 floats, from Cohan Radio Group's cut-out alligators with antlers to Sunshine Farms actual alpacas. One. of the most touching floats was presented by Sebring Christian Church. Built on a flat bed, the float had a family filled living room set up on one side of a wall, which on the opposite News-Sun photo by KATARA SI IMM IONS Carol Hustus (from left), Sue Berry and Betty Creekpaum prepare bags of cookies Saturday morning at Christ Fellowship Church in Sebring.

You know because you just paid for that right. And readjust to the thought that your life is for- ever changed in some way that you cannot comprehend just yet. You step off a plane, and through the bright sunshine you see the signs and protest- ers. Someone, out of the kind- ness of their heart, reaches out through the confusion to show their appreciation for your sacrifice with some- thing simple but deeply, very deeply heartfelt. Someone has put hands and feet to the prayers every- one says thlie are saying for you and your safety. Someone you never met offers some of their own bit of love because they care about what you gave up for them. A cookie never tasted so good.

County kills proposal for marina on county property By TREY CHRISTY trey.christy,@newssun.comn SEBRING - County com- missioners cited various rea- sons for killing the final pro- posal to put a marina fueling station at H.L. Bishop Park on Lake June. Rick Bateman, who would pay the county for running the marina, was upset at the final 3-2 vote during Tuesdays board of county commission- ers meeting, with Jeff Carlson and C. Guy Maxcy the only commissioners voting in his favor. "I'm sorry I'm getting frus- trated but ... I spent over $8,000 in attorneys fees in the lease," Bateman said. "From my understanding when we left here last time this project was approved except for a ,_ _ lease that would be worked out." If the commissioners didn't want the project, he wouldn't have followed through on the contract, he said. As early as 2005 the board put out the bid for a marina facility at the park because of the interest of another party. They eventually, gave up and Bateman put a bid on the project when it was sent out a second time. At that time the board voted on entering into contact negotiations, against staff rec- ommendation, board attorney Ross MacBeth said. "This is a project that was always opposed by staff," he said during the meeting. "It was seen as an inappropriate use of that facility before and that has always been the case." The motion to move ahead with defining the lease should carry weight, Maxcy argued. Carlson agreed. "If I had been here in this previous decision, I probably would have voted against moving forward with this project," he said. "What we are approving today is the text of a lease agreement that we worked out three or four years ago." Concerns about how the marina, which would act as a fueling station for boats on the .lake and a convenience store for park patrons, would fit the park were also brought up. "The primary use of (H. L. Bishop Park) as it is today is a swimming area," MacBeth said. "A marina will reduce land area that can be devoted to that use." The issue of the boat ramp at Lake Denton in Avon Park was brought up, where swim- mers were in the water near boats being launched. This was determined to be a safety hazard. Commissioner Edgar Stokes, a 10-year veteran of the board, said having a mari- na in the park would attract more boats, and this would lead to more boats in the swimming area. "I would like to see a mari- na on that lake," he said. "I just don't think this is the place for it." After numerous visits to the park, Commissioner Don Bates, who has been on the board for two years, agreed. "I will be very reluctant to vote for a marina in this spot," he said. "We have a nice park that will not be enhanced by a marina." Maxcy continued to argue that the concept of the marina was already approved by the board in a prior vote. "We have caused (Bateman) a lot of grief and a lot of money," he said. "I'm disappointed in this board and I'm disappointed in staff." In an interview after the meeting, Stokes said he voted in favor of looking into the possibilities of a marina in 2005, but did not approve it outright. "I was willing to take a look at it. I know it would serve the people on the lake, but also there were some problems with having it on the park," he said. "I was willing to look at all of the possibilities ... and it was not the right place for it." Copyrighted Material www.newssun.com Support FFA while driving your car By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY christopher.ttuffley@newssun .com SEBRING - In 2006 the state of Florida issued a spe- cialty license plate in sup- port of the FFA, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America. Now that plate is in dan- ger of being discontinued. Kellie Duke, who teaches agriculture at Avon Park Middle School and is the advisor for its FFA chapter, says that in order to keep the plate active 1,000 of them must be bought this year, but that as of Thursday just 960 had been issued. That means another 40 have to be sold before the end of the year, she said, adding "We're extremely close." The Florida license plate honoring the FFA costs $25. All the funds raised stay in Florida. Of that sum, 40 percent goes directly to the FFA Association for use in lead- ership development through student parliamentary con- ferences and other similar events. Thirty percent goes to supporting agriculture teach- ers with professional devel- opment. Five percent is used for agriculture teacher recruit- ment, and 10 percent is used by the FFA Foundation for special student leadership camps, like the one in Haines City. Courtesy photo If 40 more FFA tags are not sold by Dec. 30, the tag will be discontinued. Fifteen percent is split between marketing and administration. Officials at the tag agency in downtown Sebring report they have plenty of the tags in stock, and for an addition- al fee individuals may buy a plate even if their current license plate is not up for renewal. If an FFA plate has already been issued, a renewal counts as the sale of a plate. Duke wants to remind everyone that FFA is a good cause, youth oriented and practical. In Florida alone, more than 15,000 students in mid- dle and high school partici- pate in its programs and functions. In addition to hands-on education, raising livestock for example, the FFA helps young people develop and practice leadership skills. Students study parliamentary procedure and take part in competitions testing their knowledge. Public speaking, from prepared texts and spontaneously, is another area of emphasis. Nationwide the FFA involves more than 507,000 ,students in over 7,400 chap- ters in all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bronson has issued a chal- lenge, the second one of its kind, to local FFA chapters - he will serve as a guest agriculture teacher for a day and have award-winning chef Justin Timineri of the Florida Department of' Agriculture and Consumer Services prepare a "Fresh From Florida Feast" for the chapter that sells the most license plates. "FFA helps prepare stu- dents for the future thorough agricultural education, and proceeds from license plate sales help sustain, enhance and expand these important programs," Bronson said. Christmas coming to AP Main Street By ED BALDRIDGE ed.baldridge@newssun.comn AVON PARK - The Avon Park Chamber , of Commerce will host the annual Christmas on Main Street on Monday. Set in front of the historic Jacaranda Hotel at the corner of Main Street and Lake Avenue, the festive show includes music and singing from Avon and Park elemen- tary schools, the middle and high school, and the ever favorite Sweet Adelines. According to Dave Greenslade, the chamber's executive director and organizer, crowds will get the tropical sounds of the Walker Academy Steel Drum Band this year as well. "It is always a fun event," Greenslade said, "and we know that this year will be no exception to that rule." Greenslade also advised folks to bring their own lawn chairs this year. "We have a slightly larger area in The Mall cleared out this year, but we will only have one grandstand this time, so people need to make seating arrangements," he suggested. Additionally, Greenslade said that Highlands County's favorite announcer, David Flowers, will return this year with his quippy iniroduc- tions to act as emcee., Along -with the music, the chamber will be selling refreshments and drinks in - order to help out with the Relay For Life event sched- uled for March 14, 2009. The event begins at 6 p.m. sharp and usually lasts until 9 p.m. Greenslade said. For more information about Christmas on Main Street, or about Relay for Life, Greenslade encouraged people to contact the Avon Park chamber at 453-3350.

While the two events differ in many important aspects, one thing is identical - the bone-chilling, breathtaking sur- prise as death and mayhem swept out of beautiful blue skies, turning ordinary, relaxed mornings into smoke choked, corpse-strewn scenes from Dante's Inferno. The memory of 9/11 is still so fresh in our minds and hearts it is impossible to believe it will ever fade. But, as time passes, and those of us who were witness to the slaughter pass with it, the memory will become an historical relic that those who come after us will surely honor, but not really experience - as for most of us the attack on Pearl Harbor is a collection of black and white photos, a history les- son and source of debate. This is why we take time today to N A T 1 0 N A L_ AY7_ PARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY D . c i M a 6 f 'V think about the flesh and blood, Technicolor people mowed down: The 2,403 men and women who died and the 1,200 who were wounded on Dec. 7, 1941. Innocent individuals in a nation at peace, caught completely off guard by a nation at war. In a mere two hours and two minutes (the first attack wave began at 7:53 a.m. and the second ended at 9:55 a.m.) our Pacific fleet was crippled, five of eight battleships sunk or sinking, the others severely damaged. But sentimental remembrance is just not enough. To truly honor the dead we need to gain insight and understanding, to somehow come out wiser so at least this kind of disaster doesn't happen again. We should also remember how America, deeply divided in 1941, then joined in a common cause and dedicated itself to a single goal - defeating the enemy. Remember that inside of six months after Pearl Harbor, what remained of the Pacific Fleet destroyed much of Japan's striking power at the Battle of Midway. We were capable, in other words, of rising above selfish interests, of sacri- fice, and daring. We should be again. So, take time today to think of those who rose to an occasion of overwhelm- ing danger, who fought back while under attack and emerged stronger, more dedi- cated, and determined to act. Ultimately, what we owe those brave men and women is an America resolved to live out its ideals and lead by example.

TODAY'S LETTERS Taking issues from the enemy Editor: One of the lessons learned in Vietnam was that it is possible to take some of the issues away from the enemy and turn them to your advantage. Two such programs, orig- inated with the U.S. Agency for International Development, and had a substantial impact on the course of the war, were a program called "Chieu Hoi" or open arms, which welcomed former V.C. into the ranks of the government forces and a land reform plan called "Land to the Tiller" which gave tenant farmers an opportunity to own the land which they and their ancestors had farmed for others for years. The effect of these programs was to deprive the enemy of both issues on which they secured support from the people and persuade many former combatants to change sides. A similar result was recently achieved in Anbar Province; when Sunnis, formerly allied with al Quada, have been persuaded to chaAge sides and now no longer oppose American forces in the Province. This change was not the result of American arms but rather the result of persuading the Sunni leadership that their long term inter- ests were better served by joining with the U.S. and Iraqi government forces in expelling al Quada from their territory. The possibility and importance of pursuing similar possibilities in Afghanistan should be given the highest priorities. Due to the frag- mentary nature of Afghan politics and the importance of local issues rather than solidarity with the gov- ernment in Kabul there is a great potential for persuading some of the revolutionary movements in the countryside that cooperating with the U.S. presence may be in their long term interests. Perhaps a greater U.S. AID presence and a pro- gram similar to that employed in Vietnam, a "CORDS" program com- bining military and development ini- tiatives could bring great dividends and fewer fatalities. Learning from the successes of the past as well as the mistakes of the past should be part of the program. I recall an early AID program in Afghanistan in the 1960s where we assisted in the processing and export- ing of Karakul fur which assisted the sheep herders of the northern provinces. It was a small but signifi- cant success. These types of pro- grams would have local support and undercut some of the violence. In Vietnam, the AID programs involved building schools, hospitals and clinics, road improvements, farmers markets and co-ops, land reform. We hired experts, doctors teachers, engineers. By improving the life of the locals we can make significant inroads in the insurgency and win support for our side. Randy Ludacer Lake Placid A prescription for financial collapse Editor: Jobs and the economy cannot be separated. In the last eight years, millions of American jobs have been outsourced to foreign shores. The American Chamber of Commerce, Wall Street and many in Congress, both parties have promoted this as good for America. They call it "free trade." They also have promoted "open borders" and illegal labor (guest worker) programs and are against E-verify systems that protect American jobs for legal citizens. The legal immigrant program that we have today brings into our system 56 million people a year. This cannot be sustained in an economy that is in a downturn that may last for many years. Both parties are also promot- ing amnesty for millions more ille- gals, "invaders," at a time when mil- lions of Americans are without jobs, losing the American Dream and financial security. "Yes," (Guest Workers), anchor babies and invading workers are making this downturn in the econo- my much worse. Our infrastructure, our healthcare, our financial health are all in danger. Those "newly" elected and appointed, "servants of the people," must "change" their minds about "Comprehensive immigration," they wish to dress up the words illegal and invaders, to reward those who have broken our laws. We may have to slow down legal immigration until we have the capacity or excess of jobs, so as not to overload the work force with excess of labor. I can only hope the newly elected President and Congress do-not repeat the 1986 Comprehensive Immigration "Amnesty," which dumped millions of illegal invaders into the workforce putting millions of Americans into financial distress. Billie E. Jewett Sebring It's time for a real thanks-giving Editor: On this special thanksgiving time please let me share with you, my friend, an experience I had that few in this world know of. First may I say as this planet winds down its mission, I am sad- dened to see our nation falling by the wayside because of turning its back on God and our Savior. But for me, I am rejoicing that I believe His com- ing is so near and rest assured dear one, we must be ready now, not tomorrow if we are to escape His judgment. On Oct. 19, on Sunday, I was lying in bed in the afternoon resting. I had my right arm stretched across the bed not thinking of any- thing when all of a sudden the tips of my fingers started to tingle and thinking nothing of it because I was a little tired suddenly my whole hand went numb. Then in the matter of a minute or so my arm went crazy. It felt like electricity was all over my arm and now on my shoulder and neck and now the entire right side of my face. I tried to move, but no way. Then I tried to shout for my wife but only a grunt came out of my mouth. I wanted to tell her to get me some herbal medicine I had since we don't do doctors, but 1 could not say anything. As I laid there I was in no pain whatsoever. Then all of a sudden a peace came over my spirit that there are no words that I could use to explain what I was experiencing. I know in my heart what this meant but I don't believe my friend you would under- stand. After an hour or so I was able, by nodding my head, to ask my wife to get me herbal medicine and with her help I was able to drink it. After a little while, still unable to talk, my wife prayed and anointed my fore- head. Shortly I was able to talk and before the day was through I was able to walk around the house. Two days later I was as good as new to which I give God all the praise. The Holy Bible says there is one God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. There is one mediator between man and God, the Lord Jesus Christ. I recall where St. Paul said "Oh death, where is thy sting!" I know now what he meant. If death is what I have experienced in that bed with that glorious feeling, what in the world is heaven going to be like? Amen! If you don't know my Savior, my friend, you can know Him and expe- rience His love right now in your soul. Repent and turn your life over to Him and have a real thanksgiving!

Bouquet Pocketbook returned Editor: I would like to thank the "gracious and honest" lady who returned my pocketbook from Walgreen's parking lot Tuesday to Mr. Beebe, manager. You called my home but failed to leave your name or phone number; I would have called you personally, You are a very honest person and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you. Jan DeRoller Lake Placid Laura's Look Laura Ware Can anyone get a bailout? I've been watching the auto industry plead with Congress for big bucks to bail out their ailing companies with a jaded eye. First, these guys have the idiocy to fly to Washington in corporate jets to cry about how they were hard up for money. You would think that people who sell stuff for a living would know how to make a decent sales pitch. Now they're still begging for money. Billions of dollars to save them from their finan- cial difficulties. They warn that if the government doesn't pony up the funds it could not only hurt them, but the country as a whole. "Depression" was a word tossed around. Now, I've never claimed to be a financial wizard, so I have some silly questions as I ponder this whole bailout issue. First, if I understand it cor- rectly, last time I looked the federal government is operat- ing in the red. As in it's spend- ing more money than it has. This is the same federal gov- ernment that the auto industry is begging and pleading with for funds. So let's say that the govern- ment decides, sure, it'll hand over some bucks to the auto companies. After all, they gave money to the banks, right? If they are already spending more than they have, where are they going to get this extra? If you suddenly slapped a hand over your wallet while reading that question, I suspect you have a fairly good idea about where the government will get the money. They'll encourage'us to give it to them. "Encourage" as in, ,. "We'll jack up your taxes and you won't have any choice but to fork it over." I've never understood how the federal government can spend more than they take in without any apparent conse- quences. I live in the real world, where if we try to 'spend more than we have, we get into trouble. Or we are forced to cut back on our spending. Somehow the government never has to make these kinds of decisions. They spend as much as they want, and instead of cutting back, they simply make excuses and ask for more. Boy, I wish I could do that. I wish that if Don and I spent more than we took in all we had to do was to compel some- one else to cover our overage. Would I go shopping? You bet. Since it seems Congress is willing to give the auto indus- try a hearing for a bailout, I'd like to join U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas-in putting in a request for a bailout on behalf of the American taxpayer. Representative Gohmert wants the government to take some of the $700 billion that was earmarked for the original bailout and give taxpayers a temporary holiday from their personal income tax and FICA tax for January and February of 2009. While I like the idea, I have a feeling it won't happen. Call me cynical, but I somehow can't see our federal govern- ment giving up any chance for tax money. Even if it were temporary. But it's a nice thought. What if the government decided to give a hand not to companies or financial institutions, but to the Americans who could make the most use of it? Do we deserve a bailout? If you think so, call a con- gressperson or senator and let them know. But if you decide to go in person, leave your corporate jet at home. We want to make a good impression.

Putting hands and feet onto prayers Continued from page 1A "I want to be all warm :smiles and confident, I am glad to do it, but I have some apprehension about seeing those young men and women who gave up so much to pro- tect us. I understand that we might see protesters with signs, and I understand that we are going to see those who .are injured so bad that the military sent their family overseas to be with them to help them heal, but we have to do it. We have to put those hands and feet onto those prayers to make sure those young people know that there are so many that appreciate their sacrifice." About 150 soldiers will step off, or be carried off, a plane from Germany today in Orlando as they return from their tour overseas battered, limbless and abused. Hustus, along with her hus- band Sterling, members of Christ Fellowship Church in Sebring, and several volun- teers feel that they need to be there, along with the American Legion, to balance out the protesters. Be there to show that there are caring people, and to show that all the effort and sacrifice was worth it. The injured soldiers will be accompanied by spouses and children that were rushed over to Germany to give a reason and to be there in case there was another need. "I read a letter to the editor from Darlene Watkin a few weeks ago that said that the local American Legion Post 69 was going to do this. We keep a board at church with pictures of family overseas so Avon Park CRA budget inaccuracies raise questions that we can pray for them. I was moved and I called Darlene and asked how we could help out. The funny thing is, I have not met Darlene yet. She has been down with pneumonia and now an emergency with fami- ly, I have only talked to her on the phone so far. I look for- ward to meeting her in per- son, because this is such a good thing. I already know that she is an awesome per- son," Hustus said. Hustus and other volun- teers have stayed up the last couple of nights, some putting off plans and holiday trips, to make 69 dozen cookies, and place them in 150 bags. One for each soldier on that fateful plane. "It's not the cookies, it's that they gave everything to save us. We need to show that we understand that in some way.

The body was sent to the Medical Examiner's Office in Lakeland.

Additionally, Bennett expressed concern that he was told incorrectly by Maria 'Sutherland, the Avon Park � project manager who acted as an advisor for the board, that the reports were not available. "I went to Renee because a few months ago I asked Maria S(Sutherland) if we could get a budget report so we could see where we were at every "month in the expenditure ,process. I was told at that time that we could not gener- ate a report. When I visited with Renee, I asked how much work it would take, and she had it for me in five min- utes," Bennett said. "What I discovered was that there was practically :nothing in there in the event budget, and we budgeted :$20,000 specifically for events, and we budgeted $5,000 for advertising, and it fwas not there either. These are just two things that ,jumped right off the page for me," Bennett said. "We need to do a review of how this budget was entered, because this is not the budget 'we put in place," he said. "What I am asking for here is a true and accurate budget so 'we can make decisions and allocate this money correct- Sly..." "What we had on the page and what she interpreted is not the same," added Devon Donaldson, CRA Advisory Board chairman. Schuler tried to suggest that the numbers may have been transposed or possibly one or two entered wrong. "Maybe Renee had some- one else do it and they got it wrong," Schuler said. "No, she (Renee) said she entered it because I talked to her, and she also said she entered in exactly what she received," countered Bennett. "I think what it was is the format on the system. She may have keyed in dollars that do not match in the sys- tem. Maybe the line items don't match what you have on your budget," Schuler offered. "I thought of that, and what I am saying specifically here is that I went through this line item by line item ... and as an accountant I looked at it and no, they were not put into some other line area," Bennett clarified. "There is a budget amount that was allo- cated to event expenditures, and it is $5,510 and I know we budgeted $20,000 for the annual budget." "And for advertising, which is the only spot which there is advertising in here, there is $150 where we approved $5,000. Those right there jumped out at me," he said. "I do not understood where the breakdown occurred, but this is not the budget we put in place." "The total is correct, it's just where it is allocated," Donaldson said. "Absolutely," replied Bennett. Donaldson agreed with Bennett that the budget need- ed to be corrected, and at that point he stated that he would sit down and go through the budget line by line with the city. "I can get you what I have," offered Donaldson to the mayor. "That's a problem we had before, because we were try- ing to do something and they said, 'Oh no, you don't have that money' and we are say- ing, 'Yes, we do,'" Donaldson said. Donaldson was referring to the CRA's attempt to hire someone to help with both the Main Street and the Southside CRA's work load, but the city council and Sutherland informed them that there was not enough money. Additionally, Bennett and Donaldson have shown con- cern in the past because Schuler's insistence that the advisory board stick to its drafted plan. . ........

Paul McGehee, business development manager, said, "It is time to take a stand against the thieves that pol- lute our society with their illegal crop and cost our cit- izens hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that is pre- cisely what one GEC mem- ber did." McGehee said a phone call made by a member to their trustee directly led to the discovery of an illegal grow operation so large that early estimates put the dollar value of stolen electricity at close to $50,000 and yielded a crop of more than 100 plants. "For their diligence and civic-mindedness, the alert, member will receive a $500 cash reward and, we would hope, the gratitude of the other members of Glades Electric Cooperative from whom this electricity and money was stolen,"' McGehee said. "Glades Electric Cooperative certainly appre- ciates the member's efforts, as we do all of our honest, and law-abiding members, and wants to extend the incentive for helping .stamp out these illegal enduress."

This reflects the balance that you paid for it and protects against crooks who substi- tute worthless cards for the cards you think you are buying. * Keep your original receipt if you need to verify the value of the card. Having the toll-free number that appears on the back of the card, can be handy if your gift card is lost or doesn't work. * Never give your Social Security number, date of birth or any other private information to anyone when you purchase a gift card. No reputable company will ever ask for this information. * A store gift card can often be used only at the store where it was pur- chased (or related stores). Some are used for purchases in selected malls. Other gift cards, like those with a con- nection to MasterCard or VISA, can typically be used wherever their credit cards are accepted. Some gift cards allow you to get cash at an ATM. Riverside Bank is one of Florida's fastest-growing, independent and locally owned community banks.

Rebuilding Together installs ramp Courtesy photo The Piper home on North Jasmine Avenue in Avon Park was the scene of a Rebuilding Together project, assisted by volunteers from the Avon Park Breakfast Rotary Club, which donated a new ramp for Chalmer Piper. Will Bennett, one of the volunteers, helps to build Mr. Piper's ramp. Piper is a retiree whose wife, Joyce, spends much of her time volunteering for the Church Service Center in Avon Park. Sessums & Sessums successfully represents lottery winner in trial Special to the News-Sun LAKELAND - Sebring attorney Mark Sessums, Esq. of Sessums & Sessums, P.A. has successfully represented William Cody in a jury trial in a breach of contract claim to his winning lottery ticket. Cody bought the winning lottery ticket from Smith's Grocery store in Lake Hamilton in 2007 and the ticket paid $3,000,000. Cody's estranged wife claimed that she had given him $20 that was used to buy the ticket at issue and filed a civil action to recover half of the winnings. Because the parties had been separated for years, Mrs. Cody alleged a breach of contract claim.

News-Sun * Sunday, December 7, 2008 www.newssun.com Highlands Soil and Water Conservation District to host Lakes Symposium Few places can boast such beauty and diversity as Highlands County. One of the things that makes our county so unique is the 113 lakes. Covering about 48,000 acres and 190 miles of shoreline, our lakes range from deep to shallow, clear to brown and small to the fifth largest lake in Florida. Lakes are critical indicators of the health of our envi- ronment. Throughout our history, lakes have added to the quality of life for all that have lived, worked and played here. It is vital that these beautiful nat- ural resources are protected. In an effort to help Highlands County cit- izens understand some of the envi- ronmental, regulatory and recre- ational issues, the Highlands Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting a Lakes Symposium from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13. The symposium will be held at the Bert J. Harris Jr. Agricultural Center (formerly known as the Agri-Civic Center) in the O.S. "Sam" Polston Auditorium on George Boulevard in Sebring. The educational and informative meeting will answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the lakes in Highlands County. Speakers from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, S - . Florida Fish and , . Wildlife S. ' Conservation , ' Commission, , Southwest Florida Water Management News From District and The Highlands Watershed County's Lakes Management staff Corine Burgess and Aquatic Plant Management staff will address the audience about current issues. Booths will be set up from the different environmental agencies. Information and hand outs will be available. Subjects that will be covered include: wildlife, recre- ation, vegetation and habitat, water quality, general lake information, community involvement, tips for a clean lake and guidelines for lake front property owners and lake users. Refreshments will be served during breaks in the program. It is the hope of the Highlands Soil and Water Conservation District that many of the citizens of Highlands County will attend and find out more about protecting their lakes. All activities in the water- sheds that surround the lakes impact the quality of water within the lakes. Therefore it is essential that people be educated about what steps can be taken to minimize the threat to these valuable, beautiful bodies of water. Storm water runoff and fertilizers add nutrients to our lakes, causing algae blooms and excessive growth of aquatic plants. Simple steps that can be taken such as planting grass and landscape plants that are Florida friendly and require less fertilizer and water, not putting trash or chemicals in the storm drains and keeping vegetation around the lake's edge can all assist the process of keeping our lakes healthy. Another huge problem we face is invasive, exotic vegetation in our lakes. Hydrilla can be taken from lake to lake if boaters and fisher- men are not careful. Make sure when removing your boat from a lake that all plant matter is removed from the propeller, trailer and body of the boat before leaving the area.. One tiny piece of hydrilla that escapes the eye of the boater can start another infestation if carried to another lake.

Pase 4B 'j6 www.newssun.comf News-Sun * Sunday, December 7, 2008 Page 5B Scorpio needs to put off big purchases Aries (March 21-April 20) - Aries, you're all fired up but looking for a way to vent your energy. Sagittarius can be your partner as you tear up the town. Wednesday you will come back to earth. Taurus (April 21-May 21) - Taurus, you have a lot of important things to say. Now you just need to get others to listen. Wait until you have an audience and then make your announcement. Gemini (May 22-June 21) - Gemini, every smile you fake will only sink you deeper into a situation you don't feel comfortable with. Instead, be truthful and let others know your feelings. Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Idle chat- ter has got you feeling self-conscious, Cancer. But deep down you know you're above all the gossip. Does it really mat- ter what they say? A change of percep- tion is good. Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) - Leo, start socializing to feel better this week. You can head to a party. Or simply hanging around a crowded place will fit the bill and your quota of activity. HOROSCOPE@ Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) - Virgo, your leadership skills are coveted so much this week you may want to think of taking the reins more often. You are most effective leading by example. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Make up your mind, Libra. Spending too much time this week making decisions won't benefit your situation. You tend to over- analyze your options, which is the heart of the problem. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Is there any way you can avoid money this week, Scorpio? Your judgment regarding the green is clouded, so it's best if you put off big purchases or anything having to do with finances. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Sagittarius, your relationship elevator will reach the top floor in no time. Now it's time to step up the romance and real- ly ensure this is a long-term commit- ment. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) - This is a great week to be health-conscious, Capricorn. You're more likely to focus on your physical and mental well-being. Expect some extra cash to pop up later in the week. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) - Romance is a definite possibility this week, Aquarius. What do you need to improve your chances? Not much because he or she will take the lead. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Pisces, simplicity is key to having the most sat- isfying week you've had in a while. Nothing can get you down.

McGovern's career spans over 36 years, including recordings, concerts, Broadway, theatre, films, tele- vision, radio, and song writ- ing, all with a voice that defies categorization. Her recording career began with the chart-topping, Oscar winning, International Gold Record "The Morning After" from the blockbuster film "The Poseidon Adventure" and "We May Never Love Like This Again" from "The Towering Inferno." She is best known on Broadway, where in 2005 she was nominated for a Drama Desk award for the role of Marmee in "Little Women, The Musical." She made her McGovern Broadway debut as Mabel in "Pirates of Penzance," starred as Luisa in Nine with the late Raul Julia, and as Polly Peachum in "3 Penny Opera" with Sting. Her feature film roles include "Airplane!" (playing Sister Angelina, the guitar- strumming nun), "Airplane II: The Sequel," and "The Towering Inferno." She was the voice of Rachel in the DreamWorks animated video/DVD "Joseph: King of Dreams" with Ben Affleck. McGovern was nominated for a Grammy award for Best New Artist in 1973 and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance in 1998. She received a Grammy for Best Musical Recording for Children in 2005 for her par- ticipation in the CD/DVD songs from the "Neighborhood: The Music of Mister Rogers." The star will dedicate the first half of the performance to various selections of her personal favorites, including songs from her latest album A Long Winding Road, which is garnering rave reviews. The New York Times has praised the collection as "A captivat- ing musical scrapbook from the '60s to the early '70s. Ms. McGovern is blessed with a vocal technique second to none." The second half of the per- formance features holiday classics. She will be backed onstage by a 20-piece orches- Get Noticed * Adve is - Today!

Arc artists win state awards Special to the News-Sun The Able Trust, the Florida Governor's Alliance for the Employment of Citizens with Disabilities, invited individu- als with disabilities to enter their first ever Holiday Card Contest. There would be first, second and third place win- ners. Ridge Area Arc's art teacher, Wanda Colon, asked her students if they would be interested in entering the con- test. Approximately 20 stu- dents got busy drawing their vision of what Christmas meant to them. There were doves, candles, trees, Santas, candy canes, gingerbread houses, and north stars. Arc staff members had the difficult choice of picking which designs to be submitted to The Able Trust. Eight card designs were chosen and entered with an "About the Artist" statement of 50 words or less. Entries were from Kerrie Baker, Maria Rising star Courtesy photo Sebring's Creagen Dow, 17, just completed shooting a co-starring role in the new ABC show 'Castle,' a one- hour witty drama based on a famous crime and horror novelist Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion, 'Desperate Housewives') who helps the New York Police Department homicide division solve crimes.

The Able Trust recently sent a letter to Kerrie Baker of Avon Park informing her that her submission was selected as the second prize winner. Kerrie was congratulated on her artistic style and vision of peace. She also received a $75 prize check. The other artists received a letter from The Able Trust thanking them for their entries and telling them their work was admired and valued. There were nearly 100 entries. Ridge Area Arc, 120 W.

"- . . ---Philippians 4:19."But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." - * This is a promise from God. But don't misread that: Paul isn't sa\ino that SGod will supply all our wants or all our desires; he's saying God will supply all that we truly need. What is a need? A true need is a life essential. What is a want? A want is like a life essential that's been upgraded. There's nothing w\ron,2 with \\ants or desires. It's okay to have them. But desires and \\ants are different from a need. and they don't carr\ the same promise from God. The word of God says. God shall supply all hour need. The Bible tells us that \%hen he provides even basic needs., you're going to give thanks. Wh\ should God give us our \\ants w hen we haven't even thanked Him tor meeting our basic needs? What have \ou been waiting to come to pass, is it a \\ant or a need? Again, the word promise. God shall supply all our need. Continue to take the limit off. and watch the need manifest.

"We took this opportunity to work on some things, and we got the chance to give everyone a chance to get into the game," head coach Paulette Daley said. "We missed a few lay-ups and we need to work on our free throws, but overall I am happy with our play tonight." It was not as close a contest as one would think when dis- cussing the district match-up. The Lady Devils were easi- ly too tall and too organized for the Avon Wildcats, and con- trolled the game from 5 the very onset, inside and out. Har By the end of the first period, Avon Park 3 was leading the game 22-6 and only Lady Wildcat Sabrina Holmes had hit any field goals. Holmes would end the night with 14 of the 35 Hardee points and would hit two of her three pointers. On the Red Devil side of the scoring column, Daija Barrett led the drive. Barrett picked up 19 points without breaking a sweat and was steady at the line, hitting seven of her nine free throw attempts. "Finally, we broke a losing streak," said Barrett after the game. "We have had three straight loses, and it was good to win one. They had some good shooters, especially from the outside. Number five 'We have had three straight losses, so it was good to win one.' DAIJA BARRETT Lady Red Devil (Naomi Alvaredo) really had us worried near the end when she seemed to warm up. But we came out on top. We have still have some work to do, and we definitely need to work on our lay-ups, but we came out on top." Alvaredo came into the game for the Lady Cats in the third period, and would score nine quick points from out- Park side the three-point line, and hit two free throws X before the Avon Park starters would rotate rdee back into the game. "We do need to work 15 on our lay-ups," con- firmed Daley. "We are a lay-up team, and we missed quite a few tonight. I am happy with our defense, we consistently took control of the ball, but the ladies understand lay-ups are what we need to do to win." "Overall, it went well for us, but we also need to under- stand that every game counts. We have had the attitude that we did not need to work as hard at some games because they were not district games, but that just leads to laziness. I think we understand that now and can play according- ly," concluded Daley. The Lady Devils next game will be Monday night at home against the Lady Bulldogs from Frostproof at 7 p.m. News-Sun photo by ED BALDRIDGE The Hawthorne sisters team up for two as Markida sets the pick to free Jamee up for an easy lay-up in Avon Park's 58- 35 win over visiting Hardee Friday night.

Inside This Section Video Game Page 3D Area Briefs 2D League Standings 2D Habitat Golf 4D Sunday, December 7, 2008 Dragons edge Bulldogs By DONALD RIDGEWAY News-Sun sportswriter LAKE PLACID - It was a tale of two halves. What went from being a sleeper turned into a thriller Friday night at Roger Scarborough Memorial Field in Lake Placid where the Green Dragons blanked Frostproof 1-0. The Bulldogs have had the Green Dragons number over the past seven years and have only allowed the men in green to have one win in that stretch. The first half was a defensive struggle from the onset as both teams battled at the midfield. Our defense played well all game long," head Green Dragon coach Josh Virkler said. "We did have Lake P Frost] 0 some organization problems but we overcame those." Lake Placid had a couple small breakdowns in the opening half but goalie Ernesto Jimenez knocked everything away that came in his direction. The goose eggs on the scoreboard didn't last long into the second half as the Green Dragons got on the board in the 30th minute. The lone goal of the game was set up by a penalty on a Frostproof player who took down Santiago Herrera. Antonio Torres took the direct kick and slid it just past the right post. Lake Placid had several chances to extend their lead as the offense started to get cranked up. With 26 minutes left to play in the game, Mario 'It is good to get that first win, especially with it being a district win.' JOSH VIRKLER Lake Placid head coach Calvillo had an open shot in front of the net but the ath- leticism of the Frostproof goalie took away the goal. Antonio Santana had his shot at a goal from ?lacid nearly forty yards out, but his kick sailed about a foot above the goal. )roof In the waning min- utes of the contest, Frostproof had a shot of tying the game up, but the Green Dragon defense led by Kyle Thompson and Jimenez kept the slim lead. "We had some key play- ers on defense with Kyle Thompson, Ernesto Jimenez, Emmanuel Pinillos, and Jesse Orozco," said Virkler. "We played very physical and were composed the entire game." The game means a lot for the underclassmen-laden squad of the Green Dragons as they picked up their first victory of the year along with moving to 1-2 in dis- trict competition. "It is good to get that win especially with it being a district win," noted Virkler. Lake Placid takes to the road next week Tuesday at Mulberry, but will be back at. home on Friday as they host McKeel Academy. Sebring stifled in comeback bids . ..... Late boys run not enough to overcome Tigers News-Sun photo by DAN HUEHNE Shannon Williams pulls down an offensive rebound, that she immediately scored on, in Sebring's 49-42 loss to Palmetto Friday night. Lady Streaks can't get over hump By DAN HOEHNE daniel.hoehne@newssun.comn SEBRING - There were only two tie scores during the Sebring- Pain Palmetto girls contest Friday night, once at 0- 4 0 and the other at 28- 28. Sel In between, the Lady Blue Streaks were in a constant mode of comeback. n r\ 4' But after their efforts re- knotted things midway through the third period, the wheels came off as the etto Lady Tigers took the 9 bus home with a 49-42 win in their travel ring bags. Shannon Williams 2 single-handedly kept Sebring in it early, Continued page 4D By DAN HOEHNE daniel.hoehne@newssun.comi SEBRING - Battling back from a steady deficit all night, the Blue Streak boys made a late run to close to within one. But the comeback bid fell short in the team's district opening loss to Palmetto, 74-68, Friday night in the Sebring gym. Donald Campbell got the Tigers off to a quick start as the diminutive point guard hit a long two, an especially long three and a variety of floating drives through the lane. Sebring's Joe Young proved mighty, Palm however, keeping the Streaks within strik- ing distance with 10 I first-quarter points. Seb But even Young's prowess inside K couldn't keep Palmetto from taking a 25-19 lead after the first eight minutes. The deficit would grow in the second stanza, with Trevante Rhodes attacking the basket for eight points and Sebring going just 3- for-8 from the free throw line. By halftime Sebring was on the short end of a 42-31 score. The comeback began with Young scoring five quick points to open the third quarter. Devin Clarke scored on a fast break, Robert 'Jewel' Campbell went inside for two and Chris Grubb bene- fitted from a Clarke steal to score on a breakaway. Jake Trusscll then picked up three points at the end of the period, cutting the lead to 53-47 going into the final eight minutes. 14 The Streaks opened the fourth with an 11-6 run, highlighted by a Campbell rejection that lead to a Clarke lay-in, and 'soon it was 59-58 with just over five minutes left. But the Tigers ran off six straight, and after two Sebring free throws from Clarke, a technical foul on the Streaks halted the momentum and gave Palmetto two more points. There was no quit, how- ever, as Trussell hit a leaner and Grubb scored five down the stretch. But again, the free throw shooting didn't help etto Sebring, as they went 4-8 in the waning minutes. "We'll be here in ing the morning," head 8 coach Princeton Harris said. "We'll shoot 100 or so tomorrow." Much like any coach would say after an 18-for-34 performance in what turned out to be a six-point loss. But Harris was very aware of the positives he saw on the court. "We showed we're capa- ble of coming back," he said. "The kids never quit, they stayed positive, they stayed strong. "It's just our third game of the season," he contin- ued. "And if we keep fight- ing like that, then all we have to do is just keep get- ting better and better. And I'll tell you what, it'll be a fun time come February." And what was also appar- ent to Harris, from this game, was what a strong district it looks to be this season.

Deborah McNeely, 49, has known it all long before it became widespread. The mother of two is a refugee from her mother's bad boyfriends, the carnal rock and roll lifestyle of the 1970s that McNeely herself indulged, and a sour marriage to an abusive alcoholic. She's traded that in for Jesus Christ, for a job in which she drives the elderly to doctors' appointments, and for worship in which she drums for the praise team at Highlands Community Church. None of that makes her and daughters, Britney Vera. 15, and Brandy Vera, 13, much money. They've had to move from a condemned house her for- mer husband rented to a cabin on animal hospital property to another temporary situation. The caravan continues. McNeely takes the adversity in stride and even laughs at it. "The Lord's made it clear that my life's always been in his hands," she said. "I should be dead, but He's protected me. He's always cared for me and the girls. He's always shown up in mighty ways." McNeely and her girls need a home. Four years ago they applied with Habitat for Humanity, the charity that helps build homes for those who help themselves. More than two years ago they were approved. She and her daughters, with a little help from their friends, have put in the nearly 350 hours of "sweat equity" pre- construction and other work, as. well as "A" and "B" school grades plus a $700 down pay- ment toward their home. Yet the property set aside for them off County Road 17A and Airport Highway sits undeveloped. Funds from the wellspring of the community's love have dried up as people have become fearful of what their prospects are in an economy ravaged by corporate greed and government financial mismanagement. That was tough for McNeely's supporters to see, particularly her pastor, Bruce Linhart, at Highlands Community Church. He's watched her humility through her adversity. He's watched her raise her kids as a single mom. He's watched her take on an increase of duties at her job for Kenilworth Rehabilitation Center. He's watched her con- tribute to various small parts in the Story of Jesus in Wauchula. And he's watched her bring van loads of kids to church. "Our youth ministry is based on the kids from the neighborhood she lived in on the south side of Sebring," he said. "We have three or four drivers bring the kids she started bringing." So Linhart and others decided it was time to find a better way, a way for people to give while having fun and believing in the cause to which they would contribute. They conceived of The Spring Golf Marathon. It hap- pens Dec. 13, starting at 7:30 a.m., at the Sun 'N Lake of Sebring Turtle Run Golf Course. The Sprint Golf Marathon is a timed shotgun scramble over 36 holes. Each team should finish as fast as it can. Each team will get a stop- watch to begin time from the tee off of the first player until the last player sinks his ball in the last hole. Each hole will be timed and the times will be merged with the scramble score. The team with the fastest time and the team with the best score will both be win- ners and earn a prize. Lunch and other prizes will be given, too. The biggest prize, however, is for the McNeely Family. It is the prize of hope that the house they have waited for for years will finally be built by raising at least some of the $50,000 they need. It's a tall order in need of generous spirits at a time of the year that recalls another woman who faced immense difficulty in finding a roof to cover her head and the head of her infant. Linhart and friends seek individuals and local busi- nesses to sponsor the holes for each team of four or at least for one of the four team mem- bers. Ideally, sponsorship would be $10 per hole per player, or $1,200 for all four players on a team. Each player may sponsor himself, if he wants. But the more, the merrier, so no one will be turned away if they want to sponsor a hole for a smaller amount to play the 36 rounds of timed scram- ble at The Sprint Golf Marathon. Every little bit helps, and Linhart wants as many people as possible to have a good time and feel good about any contribution they make. Everything makes a differ- ence. So how does a person or a business sponsor and play? It's easy. Call Linhart at 214- 3541 or call Ted Puckorius at 257-0317. They'll get a form to you or even take down your names and numbers. Hurry and call, though, because there's only a week to go. "I want to see this woman and her daughters, who have given so much, have a decent, affordable house," Linhart said. "I want to see them blessed for being such a bless- ing." Lady Streaks improved, but not quite enough yet News-Sun photo by DAN HOEHNE Tangie McCullors looks upcourt for a fellow Lady Streak dur- ing Friday's district contest with visiting Palmetto. Streaks fall short Continued from 1D "This just shows that on any given night, anyone can be beaten." The Streaks hoped to avoid being 'anyone' as they con- tinued their district schedule at Booker Saturday night, before heading to Lake Placid for a non-district, inter-coun- ty match-up Tuesday. Check www.newssun.com for information from Saturday's contest in Sarasota. State Lic # RC - 0066817 FULLY LICENSED & INSURED 385-4690 Continued from 1D scoring six of the teams' first nine points. But Palmetto was getting more contributions as Ashley Smit and Yasmine Waiters each scored four and Tawsha Brinson canned a three-point- er to give the Tigers a 15-11 lead after one. Sidneshia Terrell knocked one in from downtown to open the second and Williams answered with a putback, but Palmetto scored six of the next eight, with only an Olivia Bullock follow mark- ing the board for the Streaks. Sebring would tally just one more point for the quarter and were looking up at a 26- 16 deficit at the half. But they came out like gangbusters in the third, going on a 12-2 run, with six points from Williams and a bucket each from Jerica Moore, Tangie McCullors and Madison Rose to even things up at 28-28. That run would stop, how- ever, as did any more Sebring scoring in the quarter, as the Tigers clawed for nine straight points to reclaim the big lead. The Palmetto lead grew to 11 to start the fourth due to a Blue Streak technical, and after Williams scored on an offensive rebound, the Lady Tigers scored six straight to open it up. Sebring hung tough and showed no quit as Hannah Shoop it a 10-footer, Williams scored inside and McCullors scored five in the waning minutes. But Palmetto kept answer- ing back and secured the win. "We didn't start the first quarter with the defensive energy that we need," head coach Mike Lee said. "We picked it up after that and got back into it, but that first quarter kind of set the tone." Lee is continuing, however, to see steady improvement as the early season starts to move into mid-season. "We're handling the ball better," he said. "We're still throwing it away at times, but not nearly as much. The girls are working really hard and I see us getting better." The Lady Streaks will con- tinue their improvement efforts Tuesday in a non-dis- trict outing at Frostproof, before heading to Braden River Friday to continue their district schedule.
