Cause of sub-station fire under investigation

Vandalism suspected in Monday morning incident that affected 1,300 customers


By BARRY FOSTER
News-Sun correspondent
LAKE PLACID It took 14 hours, but power
was restored Monday afternoon following an
explosion and fire at a Glades Electric sub-station
in the Highlands Park Estates.
Glades Electric spokesman Paul McGehee said
crews had to bring a mobile sub-station trans-
former from Moore Haven to restore service to
the nearly 1,300 customers that lost power about
12:45 Monday morning when the unit there went


down and suffered what has been estimated at at
least a half-million dollars worth of damage.
"This is a wonderful unit. It can be used pretty
much as a standard sized sub-station," he said.
"It's basically the same kind of unit as the one we
had, mounted on a mobile base."
The mobile sub-station can perform the same
function as the stationary unit, taking power off of
transmission lines. It then converts the electricity
from transmission voltage to distribution voltage
and carries it over the lines to homes and busi-


nesses where it is transformed down again to the
standard 220 volts for residential and commercial
use.
"It usually comes in around 14,400 volts before
it is taken down to distribution voltage,"
McGehee said
In the past, the mobile unit has been pressed
into service to provide electricity during natural
disasters or as a surrogate while Glades Electric

Sheriff's Office announced

made


list of


victims

LAKE BUTLER (AP)
A former Florida truck
ing company employee
who went on a weekend
shooting rampage left a
handwritten note that list
ed his four victims, three
of whom died, investiga
tors said.
A Union County sher
iff's spokesman says
David Griffis died
Tuesday, three days after
he was shot in the stom
ach by Hubert Allen Jr.
Union County sheriff's
Lt. Lyn Williams said
three days of interviews
with people who knew 72
year old Hubert Allen Jr.
haven't turned up a
motive for Saturday's
shooting spree centered
around Pritchett Trucking
Inc., but his targets
weren't random.
"Further investigation
revealed by a handwritten
note at Allen's house that
this was a premeditated
event targeting these indi
viduals," according to a
news release. "The note
did not reveal a motive."
The Rev. Patrick
Maxwell of Victory
Christian Center said even
family members do not
know why Allen went on
the shooting spree. Allen's
daughter and grandchil
dren are members of
Maxwell's church and
went to their home on the
day of the shootings to
comfort and counsel them.
"We all hope and pray
that some answers come
out, but unfortunately the
only person that knows is
no longer with us. He
slipped into eternity,"
Maxwell said.
On Saturday, Allen
drove to a location owned
by his former boss,
Marvin Pritchett, the
trucking company's
founder. He shot and
killed former co worker
Rolando Gonzalez
Delgado, 28, around 9
a.m., then went a short
distance and killed
Pritchett, 80, who began
the company in 1980.
Allen, at one time, was
considered his top assis
tant.
A few minutes later,
Allen pulled over where
another former co worker
was driving a farm tractor,
exchanged words with
him and fired a shotgun,
authorities said. The vic
tim, 66 year old Lewis
Mabrey Jr., was in good
condition.
Allen then went to the
company's headquarters
in Lake Butler and shot
44 year old Griffis in the
stomach, the sheriff's


office said.
Allen killed himself at
his nearby home. Deputies
recovered a .22 caliber
rifle, a .410 small bore
shotgun and an unfired
.32 caliber handgun.


17, went looking for trouble.
Just before 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Graham allegedly
attempted to enter an off
limits building. Confronted
by a G4S employee,
"Graham flinched at (the
staff member) as if to intimi
date him. Graham appeared
to walk away only turning
back and striking (the
employee) in the mouth with
a closed fist," a PCSO press
release said.


Concerts


The employee did not
fight back, although his
lower lip was cut and he was
knocked to the ground. The
sheriff's office was called, a
deputy arrived and placed
Graham under arrest. The
employee declined medical
attention.
Graham was transferred to
the Juvenile Assessment
Center for processing. He
has been charged as an adult
with a third degree felony,


battery on detention
staff/juvenile probation offi
cer.
The press release reports
Graham was incarcerated at
APYA in January for carry
ing a concealed weapon. He
also has two other battery
convictions from when he
was 13 one in March 2009
for battery on a law enforce
ment officer and another in
September the same year for
simple battery.

Blessing of the Businesses


set for Sept. 11 in Sebring


By BARRY FOSTER
News Sun correspondent
SEBRING Once again,
the Orange Blossom City
will host the annual
"Blessing of the Businesses"
This year the event will be
held at the Jack Stroup Civic
Center in the Allen Altvater
Cultural Complex on Sept.


The event has been held
locally several times in the
past. Sometimes it has been
held as a breakfast event,
but this time it will be a
luncheon and program fea
turning 10th Judicial
Circuit Court
Judge Angela I-
Cowden as the
keynote speaker.
"This is an
event where we
invite the business
community and
governmental enti-
ties to come that
together for a time ch
of prayer for their
businesses, t
employees and our
community,"G
Sebring Mayor
George Hensley He
said. "We believe Sc
that prayer nr


changes things."
The initial idea came from
the "Blessing of the Fleet
and the Blessing of the
Marketplace" held in the
Florida community of Destin
for the past 60 years.
"Once a year they have a
program where the pastors
of their community come
together to bless the boats
and their captains," Hensley
said.
The concept transferred to
Highlands County to bring
together the businesses and
have a time of lifting up and
promoting God and faith
within the business commu
nity.
"There will be both spon
scored tables and open seat
ing as well," said local attor


ney John McClure, who also
is helping to organize the
event. "Each table will have
a 'prayer captain' who will
be a pastor, a layperson or
other person of faith in the
community who will talk
with the people at the table
and get their prayer needs."
Later, there will be a time
of prayer to specifically
address those needs.
The Master of Ceremonies
will be George Hall of the
Avon Park Lakes Baptist
Church. In addition to office
ating the program, Hall is
scheduled to sing a
duet with church
deacon and busi
ness partner Devon
Donaldson.
Additionally,
Pastor Robert
Shannon of the
el eve Wings of Faith
Church will be
rayer featured.
lges "He will be
leading us in spe
S. /cial prayer as
well," McClure

said.
Organizers
emphasized that
they hoped to draw
members of the


business communi
ty, not simply business own
ers but others within the
structure of the business as
well. It also will provide
Christian businesspeople an
opportunity to interact and
network with each other
while lifting their needs to
The Lord in prayer.
The Blessing of the
Businesses will be held Sept.
11 and will run approximate
ly an hour.
"The doors will open at
11:30 that morning and we
promise to have it all fin
ished up by 1," Hensley
said.
The luncheon will be
catered in by Chef Mac
Gentleman of the Palms of
Sebring. Dinner will be $12


each. Those wishing more

TODAY'S LETTERS


Overpumping and
sinkholes

Editor:
Regarding the overuse of
water for landscaping in
Sebring Country Club
Estates, does it matter if res-
idents are willing to pay
more for the overuse? The
fact is that that overpumping
is a major factor in sinkholes
because it removes tons of
support water. Underground
water holds up the layer of
limestone that our sandy soil
sits on. Where the limestone
is thinner, it collapses. The
limestone being remnants of
ancient sea creatures is
porous and erodes easily.
A few weeks ago when
filling a black bucket with
well water I noticed that it
came out milky white for
awhile. That is my own
direct experience with the
erosive nature of this under-
ground limestone crust deep
beneath the sand.
Yes, the limestone layer
may be somewhat thicker
along the ridge of central
Florida, but I have lived in
Highlands County long
enough to remember watch-
ing a small house, off U.S.
27 on the opposite side of
Sun 'N Lake sink. It sank
very slowly over weeks of
time eventually into total
non-existence. Since no one
died and it happened so
slowly, it seemed like a non-
event at the time. I've since
found no record of it on the
Web.
I call upon any sugges-
tions to offer Commissioner
(Greg) Harris, the owner of
the Country Club facility,
since he has reported he has
tried for years to curb the
extreme overuse.

Ignoring history
Editor:
What type of government
will give the most longevity
to its principle?
When we look at history,
we see that the demise of all
governments has been for
the same reason, greed.
Taking too much from the
citizens for what ever rea-
son. In ancient history a
great amount was taken for
large armies for either
offense or defense and to
build the kings treasures.
Today too much is taken to
aggrandize government
workers and to provide
excessive amount of welfare
and subsides. Greece and
Spain and other nations can
attest to this. The United
States is headed in this
direction with its 16 trillion
debt.
Is there anything we can
do to keep the Republic,
which our founding fathers
gave us?
Did the founding fathers


Council meetings instead.

When it comes to personalized poli-
tics, the City of Charm has few rivals,
certainly none here in Highlands
County.
The council's regular Monday night
meeting was a perfect example of tar-
geted attacks. Barry Foster, news direc-
tor for the Cohan Radio Group, former
full-time reporter for the News-Sun and
current correspondent, was one focus of
anger.
Anyone who knows or listens to
Foster knows he is a man of passionate
opinions and isn't shy about expressing
them. We are not endorsing any of his
views here.
Our issue is with city resolution 14-
11, brought to the council by City
Manager Julian Deleon. It declares


ue to place politician in
office that promises to take
other peoples money to take
care of the poor?
What is the roll of govern-
ment? 1. Provide for the
defense. 2. Make rules and
regulations that concerns the
obedience of Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
3. Provide and regulate
interstate transportation.
In the primitive stage of
society very few laws and
rules were present. As time
went on, more and more
laws and rules were added to
enhance the common interest
of the community. The test
of time removed some laws
and rules because of the
adverse effect on the com-
mon interest. ...

3 will receive
American FFA
Degrees

Editor:
Congratulations to three
Highlands County recipients
that are among a record
number of 113 from Florida.
This is a huge record for
Florida FFA as we typically
have an average of 40-50
applicants each year.
The American FFA Degree
is awarded to FFA members
who have demonstrated the
highest level of commitment
to FFA. 3,577 FFA members
will be recognized during
the Eighth General Session
of the 86th National FFA
Convention & Expo in
November held in
Louisville, Ky. Oct. 30-Nov.
2.
The American FFA Degree
ceremony will broadcast live
on RFD-TV and stream live
on iHigh on Saturday, Nov. 2
at 7:45 a.m. ET.
Recipients from Highlands
County are: Mitchell
Guerndt, Avon Park Sr.; Tara


write anything into the con-
stitution that would hold
greed at bay? ...
The framer of the
Constitution provides three
branches of government,
Legislature, Administration
and Judicial, in the theory
that each would keep an eye
on the other two branches.
Boy were they wrong.
Congress and the President
have thumbed their nose at
the constitution while the
judicial has fallen asleep
while collecting money from
the taxpayers. The SCOTUS
would rather side with some-
one who denounces the first
amendment than to chastise
Congress and the President
for making laws that is
destroying the economy that
is putting our country into
bankruptcy. Is that promot-
ing the general welfare.
Does anyone oppose to
having, or close to having,
just compensation? Economy
revolves around the produc-
tion and distribution of
goods. So how do we deter-
mine what is just compensa-
tion for workers' pay or what
consumer pays for that
goods. ...
Charity is not an act of
just compensation. There is
nothing in the constitution
that prevents an individual
from using their own money
for charity purposes. The
individual can put restriction
and obligations on the
receiver of their charity. The
government is a different
story.
Congress was given the
right to tax and spend and
borrow. But what in the con-
stitution that would limits
congress, as they are doing,
from over spending and tax-
ing and borrowing that is
putting our republic into
near bankruptcy. ...
Are we really a nation of
compassionate people? Does
this hold up when we contin-


of Foster's radio show for the council.
Foster clearly says he is expressing his
PERSONAL opinion before he says his
guess is the fire department will be dis-
banded.
When Councilman Garrett Anderson
pointed out the resolution was to make
the council's support of a full-time
department clear, questioning the need
to specifically name Foster and Perry,
he was ignored by the mayor and other
councilors who passed the resolution as
written.
The issue here is not about spreading
rumors rumors have always been a
part of human existence.
The real issue is about freedom of
speech. Foster and Perry have the right
to say what they think.
Making them scapegoats in a fit of
temper is as far from the constitution as
one can get and a perfect example of
why city officials should avoid letting
politics get personal.


Jane O'Berry, Sebring Sr.;
and Jennifer Swain, Sebring
Sr.
Qualifying for the
American FFA Degree is not
a judgment call. You don't
"compete" against others to
"win" the degree. You earn it
by meeting a specific set of
qualifications, or criteria.
To receive the American
FFA Degree, you must meet
the following minimum
qualifications:
1. You have received the
State FFA Degree.
2. You have been an active
member for the past three

There you go

crews did maintenance work
so members would continue
to have uninterrupted serv
ice.
Re establishing service
was a bit of a time consum
ing effort for the workers
due to the condition of the
site.
"There was infrastructure
damage due to the explosion
and fire that we had out
there," McGehee said. "It
wasn't just a matter of
rolling in a mobile trans
former and hooking it up."
Reportedly a number of
breakers, regulators and
switch gear were completely
destroyed. Those had to be
taken out and new equip
ment installed before it
could be put back on line.
The mobile unit will
remain in place for several
months until the former unit
can be repaired or replaced.
The damaged unit now has
been sent for testing.
Diagnosticians now will try


and determine how badly the
former sub station was dam
aged in the incident.
Highlands County
Sheriff's deputies and volun
teers from the Highlands
Park Estates and Lake Placid
fire departments were called
to the sub station early
Monday morning.
When the first deputy
arrived just before 1 a.m., a
white male about 45 50
years of age, driving a
maroon colored Ford Crown
Victoria with a spotlight
attached to the vehicle,
yelled out his window to the
deputy "they shot it again,"
according to a press release
from the Highlands County
Sheriff's Office.
The deputy also noted that
he passed about 20 vehicles
leaving the area as he was
driving to it. It is believed
there may have been a party
in the area.
When the deputy arrived,
he found a large fire inside
the compound. After the fire
was put out by the fire


department, Glades Electric
employees discovered what
they believed to be bullet
holes in their equipment.
However, according to
Highlands County Sheriff's
Office Detective Sgt. Chris
Smith, after an examination
during daylight hours Glades
Electric couldn't determine
the exact cause and manner
of the fire and damage.
The incident remains
under investigation by the
Highlands County Sheriff's
office and the State Fire
Marshal's office.
Although there is a pend
ing investigation, Glades
Electric officials say they
"strongly suspect" vandalism
and have offered a $5,000
reward leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person
or persons responsible if
there was intentional damage
involved. Those with any
information on the case are

Pension dispute heats up AP meeting


Continued from Al

main concerns to the council Monday
night. He said he believes that Police
Pension Board Administrator Carol
Knapp and Police Pension Board chair
person Greg Warner are maneuvering to
terminate the police pension system in
order to bankrupt the city and he accus
es Knapp, Warner and others, including
Councilor Garrett Anderson, of inten
tionally bypassing Sunshine laws by
using personal email accounts while
communicating with each other.
He said requests for documents made
on July 29 have not been fulfilled
except by the pension board attorney.
Terminating the police pension sys
tem, Deleon said, makes the city liable
for multiple millions of dollars, as it
would have to pay out all pensions at
one time.
"It would cripple the city," Deleon
said.
Knapp flat out denied Deleon's accu
stations.
"The bottom line, I would be crazy
to terminate the plan," she told the
News Sun Tuesday. "I'd be out of a
job."
Deleon accuses Knapp and Warner of
"purposefully stalling" release of
requested documents to cover their
actions and claims to have seen deroga
tory and manipulative emails from
Knapp. He claims some pension board
trustees have admitted deleting public
records from their private email
accounts, but believes most of them to
be unaware of Kappa's alleged actions.
The pension board hired Matthew
Mierzwa, an attorney based in Lake
Worth, last week for advice.


Christopher Tuffley/News Sun
Matthew Mierzwa Jr., recently hired to advise the Avon Park police pension
board explains to the city council the complexity and volume of public document
requests made by the city manager have hampered the ability to fulfill the
requests.


He spoke to the council Monday
night regarding the public document
requests. "I've never seen such a com-
prehensive request," he said. "I don't
believe there is any intent to withhold
(anything from the city). These are not
readily available. A request made to
many people on the same subject is so
broad."
In a summary for the council, Deleon
lists 15 different requests he made.
Many ask for emails going back three
years and involving many individuals.
For example, one request alone asks

bills.
A spokesman for attorney
Mark O'Mara confirmed
Tuesday that the lawyer plans
to ask the state of Florida to
pick up the bill for as much


as $300,000 in expenses.
State law allows defen

Zimmerman was acquitted

Trayvon Martin.
The acquittal touched off
protests nationwide.

Public Safety Director Jason Lister
said while it appears there may have

board."
Warner was in a pension board meet

County schools see


increase in enrollment


Continued from Al
A total of 21 students
enrolled in kindergarten
through 12th grade are
enrolled in Highlands Virtual
School.
The county's jail program,
hospital homebound and pre
kindergarten disabilities
make up the remaining 32
students enrolled in the
county.
Lake Placid Elementary
still remains the highest
enrolled elementary school
in the county. The school
decreased slightly from 850
to 830 this year, but still
houses 92 more students
than Cracker Trail in
Sebring.
LPE Principal Carey
Conners said that the school
has become accustomed to
the large enrollment num
bers.
"We've come down a bit
this year. Last year we ended
up in the 850s but we didn't
start out that way," said
Conners. "This year we've
started off higher, but we've
gotten accustomed to it very
quickly."
Conners said that
Superintendent Wally Cox
has visited the LPE campus
once already this school year
and is planning to return this
week.
"We are tight in some
grade levels and we have
one grade level that is over.
The superintendent is com
ing back for a visit and we
are going to talk about what
to do. We don't have a
plethora of room here, so I
imagine we'll be getting a
CTA (certified teaching
assistant), but we haven't
decided anything yet,"
Conners said.
Despite the crowded class


Katara Simmons/News Sun
Students make their way to class Tuesday morning during
the second week of school at Hill-Gustat Middle School in
Sebring. Overall school enrollment is up this year through-
out Highlands County.


rooms, Conners is thrilled to
be back in the swing of
things this school year.
"The first week went
great. It's just a busy, busy
time for us but we're glad to
be back in school," Conners
said.
At the secondary level,
705 students pack the hall
ways at Sebring Middle
School, the largest of the
four middle schools, though
Hill Gustat trials just behind
with 698 students.
Sebring High School has a
total of 1,627 students, of
which 604 are freshmen this
year.
"We've been counting
every day since school start
ed. The superintendent has
been to every one of the
schools checking on enroll
meant daily. He's staying on


top of things," said Human
Resources and Recruitment
Director Vivianne Waldron.
Waldron said that with the
enrollment numbers up and
likely to rise a little more,
plans are being made to
make to ease overcrowded
classrooms and fill the 16
vacancies in the district.
"We lost three teachers
after week one and we have
placed substitutes in those
classrooms. There are 109
(new) teachers processed and
working in the classrooms.
The vacancies we have now
are due to increase in enroll
ment," said Waldron.
Enrollment numbers are
not final and may fluctuate
until mid October when dis
tricts must report to the
Department of Education in
Tallahassee.


Maybe it's not ringing exactly. Some people describe it as hissing,
buzzing, whistling, roaring and even chirping. Whatever noise it is,
the real issue is something called tinnitus.
Tinnitus ("TIN-a-tus" or "Tin-EYE-tus") is the medical term for the
sensation of hearing sound in your ears or head when no external
sound is present.
The important thing to know is that tinnitus is not a condition or a
disease. Instead, it's a symptom -typically of something bigger, like
an ear infection, high blood pressure or, most common, hearing loss.

Breakin' out the Bass Assassin


Wednesday, August 28, 2013


Bass Assassin.
An interesting name for a
lure, and even more interest
ing name for a company.
Every fisherman has a "go
to" bait.
Something they've typi
cally used for years and
always caught fish on it.
For some, it may be a par
ticular crankbait, in a special
color or pattern; for others it
might be a certain size plas
tic worm or creature bait in a
color scheme they're sure a
bass has never seen; and for
many, it may be a lure hand
ed down from father to son.
Whatever a fisherman
considers his or her "go to"
bait (it's also known as a
"confidence bait") mine just
happens to be a Bass
Assassin Silver Phantom.


Fishin' Around...
Don Norton
I started using this bait
15 16 years ago and over the
years, I wouldn't even want
to guess at the number of
bass that have fallen prey to
its magical allure.
The bait itself became
popular during the 90s when
every company out there was
trying its best to imitate the
success of the Slug Go lure.


The Slug Go was an
overnight sensation.
A slightly fattened soft
plastic body on a 6 or 7
inch frame allowed the hook
to be imbedded in a hidden
slot and as top water baits
go, it proved to be deadly in
the grass and lily pads.
Available in a multitude of
colors, every fisherman had
to have them.
I loved the action of the
lure.
And then along came the
Bass Assassin Silver
Phantom.
It was approximately the
same size same body
shape, although somewhat
slimmer, but the plastic was
much softer and the colors

Noon Rotary Club on
Wednesday, Aug. 21, as he
started off his comments
by directing them to
Pastor Jon Beck, who is
also an assistant coach on
the football team.
"I don't know how long
I got, but Pastor Beck, I
have to sit and listen to
him each Sunday, now you
have to listen to me,"
quipped Jackson as those
in attendance laughed.
"Secondly, we've been
raising some money at the
high school by selling
business cards and some
of you put your business
on here. I just wanted to
thank Mr. Stanley (Wells).
He wanted to celebrate his
25th anniversary with free
oil changes, so if you
wanted something free
from Mr. Stanley, I can
hook you up."
From there Jackson
gave an overview of what
has been going on as he
stated that he has been
blessed by God to be in
this position.
He noted that the kids
have been working real
hard and that they finished

men and had more come
out in the summer.
"We had a good sum
mer in the weight room,"
added Jackson. "So I am
excited about that, and we
have a great freshman
class coming in and I am
excited about what they
are going to do in the
future."
Avon Park has eight
seniors; Mason Jahna,
Christian Suarez, Caleb
Pursor, Harley Hudson,
Hunter Massey, Zach Farr,
Charles Council and
Romeo Dunn.
"They are good young


men and quality football
players," cited Jackson,
"We are excited about the
leadership that they
bring."
The biggest goal for
Jackson and his coaching
staff in the summer was to
look at the kids they have
and go with an offense
and defense that they can
do their best in.
The second biggest goal
for them has been about
changing the culture and
their motto for this year is
'Attitude is Everything.'
Jackson said that goes

2013 NFC South preview


Associated Press
ATLANTA FALCONS
(14-4)
NEW FACES: RB
Steven Jackson, CB
Desmond Trufant, DE Osi
Umenyiora, FB Bradie
Ewing.
KEY LOSSES: OT
Tyson Clabo, RB Michael
Turner, DE John Abraham,
CB Dunta Robinson, C
Todd McClure, LB Mike
Peterson, OT Mike
Johnson.
STRENGTHS: QB,
WR, TE, RB.
WEAKNESSES: OL,
DE.
EXPECTATIONS:
Super Bowl or bust. TE
Tony Gonzalez didn't put
off retirement for one more
year just to make playoffs
again.
Falcons came up 10
yards short of big game
last season, losing to San
Francisco in NFC champi
onship, and they've


become one of league's
most consistent winners
over last five seasons.
Under coach Mike
Smith and GM Thomas
Dimitroff, Atlanta is 56 24
in regular season with four
playoff appearances and
two NFC South titles.
If questionable offensive
line holds up, team should
have no trouble scoring
points with QB Matt Ryan,
new RB Steven Jackson,
WRs Roddy White and
Julio Jones, and ageless
Gonzalez.
Defense isn't nearly as
talented, leading coordina
tor Mike Nolan to experi-
ment with 3 4 alignment.
Must get more pressure
on opposing quarterbacks.
NEW ORLEANS
SAINTS (7-9)
NEW FACES: S Kenny
Vaccaro, WR Kenny Stills,
CB Keenan Lewis, TE Ben
Watson, DT John Jenkins,
DE Glenn Foster, S Jim


Leonhard
KEY LOSSES: LT
Jermon Bushrod, WR
Devery Henderson, LB
Jonathan Casillas.
STRENGTHS: QB, TE,
RB.
WEAKNESSES: LB,
DB.
EXPECTATIONS:
Coach Sean Payton's
return from season long
bounty suspension has
infused Saints headquar
ters with optimism.
Payton once again will
work with quarterback
Drew Brees as coach
resumes play calling for
offense that even with
out him ranked second
in league last season.
New defensive coordina
tor Rob Ryan overhauled
Saints' defense a year after
it allowed single season
record 7,042 yards in
2012.

swivel (which prevents line twist)
and a 2/0 hook.
Without the swivel it will twist
your line pretty badly as it dances
along the surface.
Because it's rigged weedless
(Texas Rig), the Assassin can be
tossed into the thickest of vegeta
tion and pads and still not get hung
up.
I also built a special rod, a 7 1/2'
Light Action spinning rod that han
dles this bait perfectly and allows
me to impart whatever action I feel
will work in a given situation.
Bass will blow up on it in the
vegetation or open water, and


often, if you let the bait drop a few
inches, they'll attack it underwater
halfway back to the boat.
And this bait isn't just for small
bass; it will catch bass of any size.
Years ago, fishing Lake Lotela
with my wife just prior to a thun
derstorm, I caught back to back 8
pounders in open water.
Bass just can't resist what looks
like a pretty easy meal for them.
On Wednesday, Burt Watkins
and I fished the morning tourna
ment and unlike the past few
weeks, decided to try some differ
ent areas of Lake Jackson.
The water has come up consider
ably over the last six weeks and
areas that were once too shallow to
fish are now holding 2 4 feet of
water.
With fresh vegetation, the bass
are in and around any structure
they can find.
I started out with a Yum Dinger
worm and picked up a couple of
small bass pretty quickly.
Then I switched to a Zara Spook
and casting alongside a wooden
dock, a nice two pound bass
exploded on it.
But as we came upon a long


stretch a new grass in the water, I
pulled out my "go to bait" and
started catching bass immediately.
For every bass I caught, I proba
bly lost one or had a strike and
they missed the bait.
When you're fishing a Bass
Assassin you need to give them a
few seconds after the strike to set
the hook.
I tend to react a little too quick
ly, often costing me a fish.
After about an hour and a half, I
had caught a dozen or more and I
suggested to Burt that he might
want to switch over to the Bass
Assassin.
He'd been throwing a popper
and a crankbait and had yet to even
get a hit.
Four casts later, Burt caught a
nice 2 1/2 pound bass, followed by
another 3 pounder.
Then, as luck would have it, we
both hooked up at the same time,
but my fish was a big one.
The bass headed for deep water
and it started taking line as I set
the hook and held on.
Twenty feet later, the bass came
to the surface and with a huge,
crashing leap, and tossed my


favorite lure right back at me.
All I could do was take a deep
breath and make another cast.
We didn't win the tournament,
although we did place third out of
eight boats, but we caught a lot of
fish.
Try a Silver Phantom Bass
Assassin and you'll see what I'm
talking about.

Wednesday Bass
Tournament

We had eight boats fish our tour
nament on Lake Jackson and
everyone caught and released their
limit of three bass per boat.
Nick DeSanta won the tourna
ment with three bass weighing 7.98
pounds.
Second place went to Dwight
Ameling with three bass weighing
7.71 pounds, and Burt and I fin
ished third
with our
three bass P
weighing
6.86


pounds.

"They have all bought in to

Jackson. "When they show
up for practice, they are
ready to go. When they go to
the weight room, we don't
have to get on them a whole

changing those attitudes and
their everyday life."
Jackson said he tells the
kids all the time that 'Rome
was not built in a day.'
"When one of them asked
me what that really meant, I
said I really did not know,"
he said. "But it sounded
good."
Those in attendance
laughed.
"I told them we are going
to take one step at a i i, iii,

"If you look at the gym, we
got brand new championship
banners put up and the last
one we got is 1988. To say I
don't want to put one up
would be a bold face lie
because I think about it all
the time."
"I believe in setting your
goals high. If you don't you
will never obtain anything."
Jackson took notice that
the second game, against
Frostproof, is going to tell
him a lot about his team.
"They got some studs up
there," he said. "Are w.
going to go up there ar.i I! qI.

"When Friday night, ii,,

anybody out there, to come
and be part of something spe
cial. That is what we are try
ing to build."
To do that, Jackson is
reaching out to the youth pro
grams and middle school.
"Last week Coach Reggie
Knighten was out here and he
has done a great job with the
youth football and
Champions Elite," said
Jackson. "I have talked to
those guys about how to
build a program in Avon
Park, not just four separate
entities. We have to take care
of the youth, middle, JV and
Varsity programs. The Lord
has blessed me to hopefully


connect all these things
together."
The kids are excited about
the season and know what the
challenges are ahead of them.
The one thing that Jackson
worries about, besides
injuries, is for kids to consid
er themselves as failures if
they do not reap the rewards
of their hard work.
"That is something that we
have to preach to them,"
remarked Jackson. "Is no,
you are not a failure, it is
more of a stepping stone on
where we want to go."
He also worries about
grades and has set up a study
hall for the players.


He added that three players
that were ineligible in the
spring game are now eligible
to play and they keep a con
stant eye on grades and
homework assignments to
work on and maintain GPAs.
Jackson mentioned, in
another moment of levity,
that they did some tutoring in
algebra and realized how
much he had forgotten.
"Grades comes first and
then football," said Jackson,
as he pronounced that they
also allow players to miss the
first part of practice to attend
the tutoring program the
school has with Webber
University twice a week.

A couple of questions we
just had to ask ourselves


AP/PHELAN M. EBENHACK
Kurt joining Tony?
Everyone buckle up.
Will Tony Stewart
actually agree to hire
Kurt Busch?
GODSPEAK: I don't know
if Tony wants Kurt. Some-
thing tells me a sponsor
wants to see Kurt driving
for Tony. The power of
horsepower dollars.
KEN'S CALL Forget
Tony's leg; examine his
head. Then again, racin'
has a history of strange
bedfellows.
When does Jim-
mie Johnson start to
worry?
GODSPEAK: When he
climbs to the stage to ac-
cept the Sprint Cup. he'd
better not stumble.
KEN'S CALL That rattle
under the team's hood
can't be ignored any
longer. Anyone have eye
of newt?

Carl Edwards gushed about his No. 99 Ford in the
garage area at Bristol. "I've just got to thank all the
guys," Edwards said. "That's the most fun I've had in
a race car in a long time."
It was odd since Edwards finished 39th in the 43-
car field. His engine blew up with a little more than
100 laps left to contest. Edwards was excited that
his car was able to run up front.
"The engine ran great until it blew up. so if we
run like that the rest of the year, it's gonna be awe-
some," Edwards said. "We're gonna be good."

TRAVELING' MAN
After 18 years helping Jack Roush build Roush
Fenway Racing into a powerhouse race team, Mark
Martin opted to leave to chase a part-time
schedule. Little did Martin know that he would
race for a string of owners including a
three-year stint at Hendrick Motorsports,
where he scored five victories.
Since 2007 the 54-year-old fitness
freak has driven for Bobby Ginn,
Dale Earnhardt Inc., Hendrick,
Michael Waltrip Racing and
one race with Joe Gibbs
Racing. Last week he made
another move of his own
volition when he decided
to sub for injured Tony
Stewart in the No. 14
Stewart-Haas Racing
Chevy.
Martin could have served
out his MWR contract, but left
to let Brian Vickers, named as
the No. 55 Toyota's next driver.

interesting journey. "

"It's been a really great experience
to have the opportunity to work.
with so many great people, teams
learn from so many people and

Martin will try to get Stewart's No. 14 ma-

Kurt Busch talks hub and studs


Kurt Busch is battling 10 other drivers for the privilege
to run for Chase title honors. He started on the pole at
Bristol Motor Speedway, but finished 31st because of
an odd equipment failure. He explained it to the media
after the Bristol Night Race.

The initial problem with the wheel hub, is that
something you are going to have to diagnose
later?
"Yeah I guess we had a right-rear hub fail where the
studs pulled through or they weren't tightened or as-
sembled. I don't know, just a right-rear hub failure. Now


we have to go back and diagnose that. When you are
20 laps down there is nothing you can do. We just rode
around and we are down, but we are not out. I guess at
the end of the race we gained a bunch of points back
with guys having trouble. My thoughts all through the
race were we just have to go to Atlanta and Richmond
and win them both."
Is it weird for something like that to happen that
far into a run?
"Yeah, we didn't even pit yet so we had a wheel start
to vibrate loose at an odd time. I felt vibrations before,


but we are leading the race, walking the dog and our
right-rear is falling off. It's just kind of how you have to
fight sometimes and overcome the obstacles that come
your way."

At this point, what sort of "rally the troops"
mentality do you have for the guys and the guys
have for you?
"Well, we are down, but we are not out. We have two
races to go, and I heard we are only five points (actually
six) out of 10th."


AP/WADE PAYHE
In Kasey's case, sometimes nice
guys finish second, not last.
Will we see a new Kasey Kahne
next time?
The great American philosopher
Henry Yunick (you might've known him
as "Smokey") gave this pearl of wisdom
to the Answer Man: "If you buy a puppy
that's tan with brown spots, when the
dog gets old and dies, it'll be tan with
brown spots."
Huh?
If Kasey Kahne is too "gentlemanly"
to dump Matt Kenseth at Bristol for a
win, it's hard to imagine him develop-
ing the mean streak necessary to win a
championship. At least that's the pre-
vailing wisdom this week. To win cham-
pionships in practically any endeavor,
you have to occasionally resemble the
south end of a northbound mule. The
true greats make it look like an innocent
slip.
Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart?
Really?
From what we read, it appears that
Stewart's co-owner. Gene Haas, is
enamored with Kurt. Word is, Gene
is willing to make up the sponsorship
shortfall out of his own pocket to get
Kurt in a fourth car for Stewart-Haas
next year. We should quit shaking our
head and begin pulling HARD for this
to happen. It'll be the most entertaining
partnership since Tom and Roseanne
Arnold.

EXPECTATIONS:
Texans made playoffs for

Expectations higher this

EXPECTATIONS: Colts

return to playoffs.
This year, with some pre
dicting crash, Indy plans to
prove naysayers wrong
again.
Yes, tougher schedule may
result in fewer wins, but
improved offensive line,
more players who fit coach
Chuck Pagano's defense and

STRENGTHS: RB, OL,

WEAKNESSES: DL, CB.
EXPECTATIONS:
Injuries, especially on offen
sive line, decimated
Tennessee last year.
Titans brought in 17 free
agents this offseason along
with eight draft picks.
Owner Bud Adams tired
of losing and not reaching
playoffs.
Coach Mike Munchak has
made many moves, putting
his stamp on Titans to be


man to take team to first
playoff berth since 2008.
Titans will have to survive
tough start with two games
on road, and schedule with
road games in Seattle and
Denver.

WEAKNESSES: QB, DL.
EXPECTATIONS: Under
second year owner Shad
Khan, new general manager
Dave Caldwell and new
coach Gus Bradley, small
market franchise in midst of
third rebuilding project in
last five years.
Jaguars have missed play
offs 11 of last 13 years,
including five straight, and
postseason drought likely
will continue for team lack
ing depth. Robinson, listed
as "offensive weapon,"
brings some excitement.
Top goal is figuring out

EXPECTATIONS:
Patriots handled rough off
season well.
They cut Hernandez day
he was arrested on murder
charge and replaced top two
WRs Welker and Lloyd with
Amendola and rookies.
Should win weak AFC
East for 10th time in 11 sea
sons.
Defense should improve
with veteran Kelly and
greater depth.
WRs a question mark and
TE Rob Gronkowski proba
bly will miss start of season
following back surgery.
But Patriots get better as
year goes on: 23 1 in last
half of past three seasons.
Last year's highest scoring
team in NFL still solid at RB
with Stevan Ridley, Shane
Vereen. With coach Bill
Belichick and quarterback
Tom Brady leading way,
Patriots could go deep into
playoffs.
MIAMI DOLPHINS
(7-9)
NEW FACES: WR Mike

STRENGTHS: DE, DT,

WEAKNESSES: OL, TE,

EXPECTATIONS:
Following free agent spend
ing spree, new starters pro
jected at 11 positions.
That's a lot of change, and
it might take a while for
coach Joe Philbin to work
out kinks, especially on
offense. 1972 Dolphins made
recent trip to White House,
but invitation to 2013 team
seems farfetched.
Instead, look for season
long flirtation with .500.
Early schedule daunting,
and December surge may be
needed to end franchise's
streak of four consecutive
losing seasons.

STRENGTHS: DL, LB.
WEAKNESSES: QB,

EXPECTATIONS: Not
very high, especially since
team enters final week
before regular season not
knowing if Smith is ready
enough to start or Mark
Sanchez's shoulder is
healthy enough.
Coach Rex Ryan squarely
on hot seat as team faces


third straight season without
playoffs.
Without much game
breaking talent on offense,
Jets could be hard pressed to
match last year's six-win
total, even with creative
Marty Mornhinweg as coor
dinator and solid defense
that should keep them in
games.
That could spell doom for
Ryan, who was kept on by
owner Woody Johnson
despite hiring new GM in
John Idzik.

STRENGTHS: RB, DL.
WEAKNESSES: QB, OL,

EXPECTATIONS: Far
too many changes at far too
many key positions on and
off field from GM (Doug
Whaley) down to placekick
er to expect Bills to end
longest active playoff
drought at 13.
Quarterback already an
issue with rookie Manuel
(left knee) and veteran Kolb
(potential concussion) both
questionable to start season.
Injuries left Bills scram
bling to sign Leinart on
Sunday.
Hope for team without

to begin showing signs of
improvement under new
coach Doug Marrone and
young staff, which includes
former Jets defensive coordi
nator Mike Pettine.

Is Coke the same as it was 127 years ago? Maybe


By CANDICE CHOI
AP Food Industry Writer
ATLANTA Coca Cola
keeps the recipe for its 127
year old soda inside an
imposing steel vault that's
bathed in red security lights.
Several cameras monitor the
area to make sure the fizzy
formula stays a secret.
But in one of the many
signs that the surveillance is
as much about theater as
reality, the images that pop
up on video screens are of
smiling tourists waving at
themselves.
"It's a little bit for show,"
concedes a guard at the
World of Coca Cola museum
in downtown Atlanta, where
the vault is revealed at the
end of an exhibit in a puff of
smoke.
The ability to push a
quaint narrative about a
product's origins and fuel a
sense of nostalgia can help
drive billions of dollars in
sales. That's invaluable at a
time when food makers face
greater competition from
smaller players and cheaper
supermarket store brands
that appeal to cash strapped
Americans.
It's why companies such
as Coca Cola and Twinkles'
owner Hostess play up the
notion that their recipes are
sacred, unchanging docu
ments that need to be closely
guarded. As it turns out,
some recipes have changed
over time, while others may
not have. Either way, they
all stick to the same script
that their formulas have
remained the same.
John Ruff, who formerly
headed research & develop
ment at Kraft Foods, said
companies often recalibrate
ingredients for various rea
sons, including new regular
tions, fluctuations in com-
modity costs and other
issues that impact mass food
production.
"It's almost this mytholog
ical thing, the secret formu
la," said the president of the
Institute of Food
Technologists, which studies
the science of food. "I would
be amazed if formulas (for
big brands) haven't
changed."
This summer, the Twinkies
cream filled cakes many
Americans grew up snacking
on made a comeback after
being off shelves for about
nine months following the
bankruptcy of Hostess
Brands. At the time, the new
owners promised the spongy
yellow cakes would taste
just like people remember.
A representative for
Hostess, Hannah Arnold,
said in an email that
Twinkies today are "remark
ably close to the original
recipe," noting that the first
three ingredients are still
enriched flour, water and
sugar.
Yet a box of Twinkles now
lists more than 25 ingredi
ents and has a shelf-life of
45 days, almost three weeks
longer than the 26 days from
just a year ago. That sug
gests the ingredients have
been tinkered with, to say
the least, since they were


created in 1930.
"When Twinkles first
came out they were largely
made from fresh ingredi
ents," notes Steve Ettlinger,
author of "Twinkle,
Deconstructed," which
traced the roots of the cake's
many modern day industrial
ingredients.
For its part, KFC says it
still strictly follows the
recipe created in 1940 by its
famously bearded founder,
Colonel Harland Sanders.
The chain understood the
power of marketing early on,
with Sanders originally


dying his beard white to
achieve a more grandfatherly
look.
Fast forward to 2009,
when KFC decided the secu
rity for the handwritten copy
of the recipe needed a flashy
upgrade. It installed a 770
pound safe that is under con
stant video and motion
detection surveillance and
surrounded by two feet of
concrete on every side -
just in case any would be
thieves try to dig a tunnel to
get it.
"Like something out of a
Hollywood movie," a press


release from KFC trumpeted
at the time.
KFC may very well be
following the basic instruc
tions of the recipe encased in
the vault. But the fanfare
around its founder's instruc
tions is despite his disap
proval of the new owners of
the chain after he sold his
stake in the company in
1964. In his book, for exam
ple, Wendy's founder Dave
Thomas, a friend of
Sanders', recounts how the
colonel was annoyed
because they came up with a
simpler way to drain grease


off the chicken by dumping
it onto wire racks, rather
than ladling the grease off
by hand. Sanders apparently
hated the new system
because it bruised the chick
en. According to the book,
Sanders was afraid the new
owners would ruin the chick
en because he said they
"didn't know a drumstick
from a pig's ear."
In the book "Secret
Formula," which was pub
lished in 1994 and drew
from interviews with former
executives and access to
Coca Cola's corporate


Rt941

anti


S


archives, reporter Frederick
Allen noted that multiple
changes were made to the
formula over the years. For
instance, Allen noted that
that the soda once contained
trace amounts of cocaine as
a result of the coca leaves in
the ingredients, as well as
four times the amount of
caffeine.
In an emailed statement,
Coca Cola said its secret for
mula has remained the same
since it was invented in 1886
and that cocaine has "never
been an added ingredient" in
its soda.

Music Review


Country stars pay tribute to

Alabama on new album


By MICHAEL MCCALL
Associated Press
Nowadays, long hair and
loud guitars are common in
country music. That wasn't
always the case. The new
album "Alabama & Friends"
pays tribute to a pioneering
band that proved decades
ago how popular merging
country and Southern rock
could be.
Forty years after country
rockers Alabama formed, the
band's sound no longer car-
ries the shock of the new.
But a gang of contemporary
country stars, all of whom
incorporate rock into their


music, celebrate another
country music trait: concise,
catchy songs survive the
ages.
Several 21st century stars
put their stamp on Alabama
favorites. Jason Aldean adds
arena guitar crunch to
"Tennessee River," Luke
Bryan finds joyous fun in
"Love in the First Degree"
and Florida Georgia Line
brings extra bounce to "I'm
in a Hurry (and Don't Know
Why)."
Even better is the intimacy
Kenny Chesney instills into
"Lady Down on Love" and
the Bob Seger like soul Toby


Keith pumps into the under-
rated "She and I." Best of
all, Jamey Johnson's per
formance of "My Home's in
Alabama" fits him like an
old denim jacket the rare
tribute that improves on the
original.
After a 10 year break
from recording, Alabama
reunited to cut two new
songs, which was at least
one too many, as neither car
ries the nostalgic weight of
their more famous songs.
Still, there is plenty here to
make these old Southern
rock pioneers proud.

Lake Placid Noon Rotary

donates to Miracle League


Special to the News Sun
LAKE PLACID With the
upcoming season fast
approaching, John Varady,
director of Miracle League
for Highlands County, was
happy to accept a $1,000
check to offset some of the
anticipated expenses for the
2013 season. The check was
presented by the Lake Placid
Noon Rotary from funds
raised by the World Famous
Wild Game Dinner.
Joining Varady at the
luncheon meeting were board
member Saundra Bass,
Miracle League player/coach
Jena Carroll, and
"Buddy"/Miracle League
Assistant Rachel Yungbluth.
All three were happy to share
experiences and information
about Miracle League, a
national program that pro-
vides opportunities for per
sons with mental and physi
cal challenges to participate
in America's favorite pastime
- baseball.
Miracle League players
come from all over
Highlands County, as long as
they can get to the playing
field at the Lake June
Ballfields in Lake Placid. The
Miracle League field is the
only one of its kind in
Highlands County, with a
special surface that makes
moving with wheelchairs and
walkers much less of a chal
lenge than regular grass
fields.
Players range in age from
children through adults and
there are three groups of
players younger children,
medium skills players and
adults so all can compete
against others with similar
skills. There are no fees to

participate; uniforms and user
fees are covered by funds
raised by the non profit
organization.
Varady said the recent
implementation of user fees
to cover costs in the Lake
Placid parks has increased
the expenses. "Seventy play
ers with an assessment of $20
per player adds up fast," he
explained. Those fees may
increase in the future, but the
Miracle League board is
determined to avoid burden
ing family and caregivers by
passing those fees onto play
ers.
Players who need help on
the field are assisted by
"Buddies" volunteers who
help them bat, round the
bases and throw the ball.
Yungbluth, a volunteer, was
uncertain what to expect
when she began with the
organization. She had no pre
vious experience with the
special needs population, but
says now the experience has


been extremely rewarding.
Jena Carroll has been play
ing with the Miracle League
for about five years and now
also coaches the younger
players. She shared that her
favorite part of the game is
hitting the ball.
When asked what chal
lenges the organization faces
in the future, Bass stated that
transportation is sometimes
an issue, as the families of
players may be unable to get
them to the games, especially
if funds are tight or the dis
stance is long. The organize
tion would like to have some
way to transport those play
ers.
The season begins this
year on Saturday, Sept. 21
with eight games scheduled.
The public is encouraged to
attend and cheer for the play
ers. Visit the Miracle League
for Highlands County web
site at www.ml4hc.com.

tion can be found online.

Garden Club members attend

retirement celebration


Special to the News Sun
SEBRING The execu
tive board, past presidents
and a small group of
Garden Club of Sebring
members had the privilege
of attending a retirement
ceremony honoring
Waymond "Pete" Spradley,
a city employee for more
than 35 years.
On Aug. 20, at the
Sebring City Council meet
ing, Mayor George Hensley
read several letters of com-
mendation from past and
current city employees. All
spoke of Spradley's dedica
tion, loyalty, generous
smile and gentle manner.
Most mentioned was his
strong work ethic and the
fact that Spradley was
always ready to get the job
done and to do it well.
Spradley was born in
Moultrie, Ga. After arriving
in Sebring he was hired and
began work on May 15,
1978.
After working his way up
through the ranks, Spradley
became head custodian at
the Jack Stroup Civic
Center and retained that
position for these last 20
years. Spradley became an

were 21 members present at
the last meeting. Carolyn
Mead led singing a revised
version of "When You're

Debbie Luddington pre
sented a program on the
myths of nutrition. The
focus was on beliefs that
we're taught and later find
to be erronious concerning
foods. The first one was to
limit egg intake because it
raises your cholesterol,
when they're now saying
that egg consumption does
not raie cholesterol, trans
fats are the culprits.

if she has a loss for one
more week she'll receive

O'Boyle received a thank

that bad for you.

How to lighten up
your cocktails

For recipes that call for
soda, try substituting with
carbonated water. Instead of a
vodka and tonic or gin and
tonic, for example, mix your
alcohol with seltzer, a touch
of homemade simple syrup
and a lemon wedge.
Speaking of simple syrup
... make your own. Regular
simple syrup is just sugar
water. It's hummingbird nec
tar, basically! Make your
own simple syrup by mixing
half a tablespoon of honey
with a tablespoon of warm
water. That measure will give
you enough for one sweet
cocktail.
Drink a serving of fruit
or vegetable with each drink
by muddling some fresh pro
duce in the bottom of your
glass. Strawberries and basil
are a wonderful sweet
combo. A tomato and some
parsley is good for a Bloody
Mary. Mango and mint makes

another great cocktail combo.
Stick to one shot per
drink. That will keep the
calories down and it will also
prevent you from overdoing
it too quickly.

Some cocktails
ideas to try

Mint Julep. Put a table
spoon of your homemade
simple syrup into a glass and
muddle it with a dozen or so
fresh mint leaves. Add a
shot of bourbon and top the
drink up with seltzer water.
Tequila Sunrise. Fill a
glass with ice and a shot of
tequila. Add in a couple shots
of fresh squeezed orange
juice and pour a splash
of real cranberry juice (not
cranberry cocktail) on top.
Lime Rickey. To your
tablespoon of homemade
simple syrup, add the juice of
one lime and a little more


than half a shot of bitters.
Top with a cup of seltzer
water and enjoy.
Spiked Lemonade.
Muddle a quarter cup of
frozen berries with the juice
of a lemon and a tablespoon
of simple syrup in an eight
ounce glass. Stir in a shot of
vodka and top up the whole
thing with seltzer.
Grapefruit Margarita. Put
some ice cubes in your
favorite margarita glass. Add
a shot of tequila, the juice of
a lime and the juice of half a
grapefruit. Top it up with a
shot of orange liqueur.
Cheers!

Placid Lakes
Party Line
By Susie Lee
LAKE PLACID The
Placid Lakes Homeowners
Association newsletter will
be coming out in September
and we are asking all Placid
Lakes homeowners who have
wells to contact Town Hall,

Sept. 9 at 5:30 p.m. Please
note new time. We are still
looking for alternates to fill
in when needed. Joe Briski
built card racks for the
bunch. (No need to play "52-
pickup" anymore, or is it
208? They use four decks!)
We're having a "name that
flower" contest. Dave and
Ollie Jackson gave the "Plant
Man" a beautiful yellow
flowered plant, and no one
knows what it is. Even the
"Plant Lady" couldn't identi
fy it, and she advised to take
a picture, along with a small
leaf from the bottom of the
plant, to the Agri Civic
Center for an opinion. This is
serious; hope it's not a weed.
The International Sausage
Festival plans are in the final
stages, and will be ready for

Hope Ladies showed the resi
dents of the park the dresses
they have sewed this summer.
The dresses were pinned on a
cord with clothes pines. We
walked out with this line of
dresses. They are called
Pillowcase Dresses. So at our
coffee hour we had show and
tell. Emily Snider, a resident
in the park, came to the
Wednesday Nu Hope group
and suggested we sew these
as a new project. Residents
donated pillow cases, ribbon,
etc. and the assembly line
began.
We enjoyed sewing and
decorating these dresses. We
have sewed about 60 and
they will be sent to needy
children in the United States.
Donna and Kendall
Kilbride made the coffee for
the coffee hour on Aug. 19.
They served big muffins,
blueberry or banana nut.
Luetta Kiger was the emcee
with the continued joke,
"Why did the chicken cross
the road?" It's a matter of
opinion.
Carol Noel, the sunshine
person, reported on residents
that need our well wishes -
Peggy Sue Teague; Milly
Verbarg and George Morse
are in the hospital for heart


surgery. We were sorry to
hear that Ed Malley has
passed away, and Larry
Myers, a former resident of
the park.
Carol Noel made coffee for
the Tuesday morning ladies.
Marysue Willeke led the
meeting. Plans are being
made for the Labor Day get
together, other September
activities and the October
Halloween party. Jodi Susco
has been with us seven years.
The Ladies Lunch Out was
well attended at JR's Cafe on
the airport runway in
Sebring. Barb Myer and
Susan Bury were the host
esses for this gathering. We
all received favors at the
table setting.
The men, or Mustangs,
went to the Placid Lakes
Country Club for their lunch
out. They enjoyed their lunch
and friendships. Charlie Price
took care of the arrange
ments.
Last week my granddaugh
ter, Dr. Chantel E. White, the
archaeobotanist, was in
Istanbul, Turkey. I'm glad to
report that she is safely back
in Komotini, Greece. She
went there because of the
destruction of Istanbul's
Gardens. Over the past centu
ry as Istanbul has grown,
vegetable gardens and
orchards around the city have
been paved over for construc
tion projects.
Efforts by Aleksandra
Sopov are under way to pre
serve the last of these gar
dens. He invited Chantel to
Istanbul to conduct an assess
ment of the area, within and
around the Uedikule city
walls, where they have grown
plants for 50 years.

Sides agree to drop Paula Deen discrimination suit


By RUSS BYNUM
Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. -
Lawyers signed a deal
Friday to drop a discrimina
tion and sexual harassment
lawsuit against celebrity
cook Paula Deen, who was
dumped by the Food
Network and other business
partners after she said under
oath that she had used racial
slurs in the past.
A document filed in U.S.
District Court in Savannah
said both sides agreed to
drop the lawsuit "without
any award of costs or fees to
any party."
No other details of the
agreement were released.
The judge in the case had
not signed an order to final
ize the dismissal.
Former employee Lisa
Jackson last year sued Deen
and her brother, Bubba
Hiers, saying she suffered
from sexual harassment and
racially offensive talk and
employment practices that
were unfair to black workers
during her five years as a
manager of Uncle Bubba's
Seafood and Oyster House.
Deen is co owner of the
restaurant, which is primari
ly run by her brother.
The dismissal deal came
less than two weeks after
Judge William T. Moore
threw out the race discrimi
nation claims, ruling
Jackson, who is white, had
no standing to sue over what
she said was poor treatment
of black workers. He let
Jackson's claims of sexual
harassment stand, but the
deal drops those also.
The lawsuit would be dis
missed "with prejudice,"
which means it can't be
brought again with the same
claims.
"While this has been a dif
ficult time for both my fami
ly and myself, I am pleased


that the judge dismissed the
race claims and I am looking
forward to getting this
behind me," Deen said in a
statement Friday.
Jackson also issued a
statement that backpedaled
on assertions that Deen held
"racist views."
"I assumed that all of my
complaints about the work
place environment were get
ting to Paula Deen, but I
learned during this matter
that this was not the case,"
Jackson said in the state
ment, which was confirmed
by her attorney. "The Paula
Deen I have known for more
than eight years is a woman
of compassion and kindness
and will never tolerate dis
crimination or racism of any
kind toward anyone."
It wasn't Jackson's racism
allegations, but rather
Deen's own words that
ended up causing serious
damage to her public image
and pocketbook. The lawsuit
got little public attention for
more than a year until
Jackson's lawyer questioned
Deen under oath in May. A
transcript of the deposition
became public in June, and it
caused an immediate back
lash against Deen.
Deen was asked if she has


ever used the N word. "Yes,
of course," Deen replied,
though she added: "It's been
a very long time."
Within a few days, the
Food Network didn't renew
Deen's contract and yanked
her shows off the air.
Smithfield Foods, the pork
producer that paid Deen as a
celebrity endorser, dropped
her soon after.
Retailers including Wal
Mart and Target said they'll
no longer sell Deen's prod
ucts and publisher Ballantine
scuttled plans for her
upcoming cookbook even
though it was the No. 1 sell
er on Amazon. Deen also
parted company with her
longtime New York agent,
Barry Weiner, who had
worked to turn Deen into a
comfort food queen since
she was little more than a
Savannah restaurant owner
and self publisher of cook
books.
The judge issued an order
Friday saying he still plans a
hearing on whether
Jackson's lead attorney,
Matthew Billips, should be
sanctioned for what Deen's
lawyers called unprofession
al conduct in the case. In
earlier court filings Deen's
lawyers said Billips threat


ened Deen with embarrass
ing media exposure, made
inappropriate comments
about the cook and the law
suit on Twitter and purpose
fully asked Deen embarrass
ing questions that weren't
relevant to the case during
her deposition.


However, a filing by
Deen's attorneys asked the
judge to drop their motion
for sanctions against Billips.
Billips declined to com-
ment on the lawsuit resolu
tion other than to say "the
matter has been amicably
resolved." Deen attorneys


Grace Speights and Harvey
Weitz did not immediately
return calls seeking com-
ment.
Forbes magazine last year
ranked Deen as the fourth
highest earning celebrity
cook last year, figuring she
had hauled in $17 million.

Fear of 911 publicity causes



some not to make the call


Dear Abby: A friend of
mine was a victim of domes
tic violence. When I asked
her why she didn't phone
911 for help, her response
was, "They play those 911
calls on the radio all the
time." She didn't want her
prominent husband's career
damaged by adverse public
ty.
Today, a group of us dis
cussed the issue over break
fast. Many of the women
said that because of the pop
ularity of 911 calls being
broadcast on the Internet,
radio and TV, they'd be hesi
tant to phone for help when
needed, too.
Abby, someone is going to
suffer serious harm out of
fear that their call for help
will be publicized. Do you
know what can be done
about this new "drama enter
tainment"? I wouldn't want
my terrified call heard by the
public either, so I'd take my
chances without calling for
help. I just hope I don't
wake up dead one day as a
result.
Publicity Shy in Florida
Dear Publicity-Shy:
Nothing can be done about
"drama entertainment" as
long as the public has an
appetite for it. The reason for
the practice of "if it bleeds,


it leads" in the
media is that it
draws viewers and
listeners which
means advertising
revenue.
In the case of
domestic violence,
calling 911 is the
lesser of two evils. Dear
Out of control
abusers have been known to
maim and kill the ones they
"love." Ask yourself if your
friend's husband's career
was worth risking her life
for. It makes more sense to
risk a 911 call being broad
cast than to have cameras
and TV reporters camped on
your lawn while the EM's or
the coroner carry your bat
tered, bloody body out on a
gurney.

Dear Abby: I'm over
weight and have a family
history of heart disease and
diabetes. An injury to my
back severely limits my abil
ity to exercise, so diet is an
important part of my health
plan.
My problem is people con
stantly try to get me to eat. I
explain my situation, but
they still urge me to have
"just a taste." If I go to a
party and shy away from the
buffet, the host feels I'm


being rude.
SRecently, my super
visor at work
S became insulted
because I refused
S some food she
brought to a work
Meeting.
These people
Abby wouldn't be upset if
an alcoholic refused
a drink, so why are they so
hostile to me? (Another
thing that upsets me is when
somebody dies an early
death, these same folks say,
"He should have taken better
care of himself.")
Under Attack in Arizona
Dear Under Attack: For
many people, food has
become something other than
fuel for the body. It can sym
bolize love, caring, accept
ance and when it is refused
it can seem like a personal
rejection to the person offer
ing it. (Yes, I know it's
crazy.)
Your best defense is to
remind your hosts, your
supervisor, your co workers
and friends that you have a
family history of health
problems and are on a doc
tor advised restricted diet to
manage it. Remind these
generous souls that socializ
ing is more about the compa
ny than the food, and you are


grateful that they understand.

Dear Abby: You give so
much great advice, I'm won
during if there is a basic
principle you abide by in
order to help guide you when
giving advice.
Curious Reader
Dear Curious: I hadn't
really thought about it, but I
suppose it's something like
this: Show up for work ready
to put forth my best effort.
Be honest enough to admit
that not everyone agrees
with me or that I'm some
times wrong. Tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Don't pull any
punches, don't preach and
always try to be succinct.

James Brown biopic to be filmed in Mississippi


By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. Tate Taylor, the
Mississippi native who directed "The
Help," said Monday that he'll make a
biographical feature film about James
Brown in the state, starting this fall.
"Every frame will be shot in
Mississippi. We're even doing Paris,
France, in Mississippi. .. Vietnam, as
well, in Mississippi," Taylor said at the
Mississippi Coliseum on the state fair


grounds in Jackson, where some scenes
will be shot.
Filming will take place in November
and December in and near Natchez, a
Mississippi River town in the south
western corner of the state; and in
January and February in the capital city
of Jackson, said Taylor, who grew up in
Jackson and now has a home near
Natchez.
Taylor said he could know within the
next week who will play Brown.


"Those are tough shoes to fill," he
said.
Asked if a well known actor or a new
comer is likely to land the role, Taylor
said: "I tend to go toward relative
unknowns."
Taylor will direct the biopic. His co
producers for the movie are Mick Jagger
and Brian Grazer, he said.
"James Brown, really, was the first
real dancer that broke the ground of how
people move," Taylor said. "And Mick


Back-to-school



savings tips


The fall season
is upon us and
parents and stu
dents are now in
school mode. The
majority of basic
school supplies
have been pur
chased, knowing
that the first week
of school there
would be a second
list of must haves
for each class. If


Savi]
Dix
Tan
Sense


not prepared, this can cost
a pretty penny.
This year with three kids
in three different schools
from kindergarten to 10th
grade we had a wide range
of supplies needed. School
supplies are not an issue
when you buy little by little
over the summer or at the
end of the previous school
year sales. Readers ask me
every year how to save on
school supplies. Below are
my tried and true tips for
school supplies. Even if
you do not have a student
in school, but have a heart
for giving to others, this is
the time to buy!
Back to School supplies:
In July stores start prepping
for the school supplies and
will focus on two to three
items every week priced
$.01 $1. They are sold at
below cost to intise con
sumers into the store and
buy additional products.
Being a Savvy Shopper,
simply buy only the items
each week that are under $1
each and you will see a
drastic reduction in the
amount you spend each
year on school supplies.
This goes across any
school college age student.
Buying a little each week
until school starts will save
you 75 90 percent on
school supplies.
Starting Labor Day
weekend the stores will
start marking down the
bulk of the school supplies.
You will find packs of
paper as low as $.10, fold
ers as low as $.05,
pens/pencils, notebooks,
binders etc. all marked
down 50 75 percent or
more.
Your students are going
to need supplies all year
long, including binders,
project folders, markers and
more. Stock up now. If you
do not have the space for
extra school supplies look
for under bed storage con
tainers to store the supplies
in or Rubbermaid contain
ers. It may be hard to think
about buying for next year

S now, but when you
think about what
you did spend this
year just on sup
plies it is worth it.
n Back packs,
clothes and shoes:
Kids love to get
new back packs,
rigs clothes and shoes
va every year, but by
reusing your sup
a plies each year,
?ey yyou will stretch
your budget even further.
Back packs, shoes and
clothing are the biggest
expenses for school aged
kids. My oldest is using the
same back pack from last
year, knowing that when it
wears out we will buy a
new one. He understands
that by saving money on
this he is able to get the
new cleats he needs that
can cost a pretty penny for
a teen boy.
Same goes for shoes and
clothes; my kids were just
fine in their current tennis
shoes because we pur
chased them when they
needed them (on sale, of
course) instead of just
because. This is a great
way to stretch your dollars.
Same goes for clothing and
apparel; check the clear
ance racks starting this
week and buy what your
student needs little by little.
This is a practice to have
all year long. Look at mark
down racks before the
clothes on display. Buy

Ultimate Peanut Butter Brownies


Buddy Valastro


FAMILY FEATURES


ou might have a favorite cookie or
brownie recipe but did you know
you could make it even better by
adding a simple, familiar ingredient?
With a few expert tips from
Buddy Valastro, author and S
star of TLC's "Cake Boss,"
you can take your sweet
treats from good to great
in no time.
* Start with Quality Ingredients -
When you start with better ingredients,
you end up with a better cookie or
brownie. Use real butter, high quality
vanilla and great tasting chocolate.
Here, Buddy shares some of his
favorite recipes that use M&M'S can
dies to add an extra special touch
to family favorites making them
even better.
* Chill the Dough Leaving cookie
dough in the refrigerator gives it more
body and results in a fuller and better
tasting cookie. Plan ahead so you can
refrigerate your dough at least one
hour or, even better, overnight.
* Keep It Uniform Use a small ice
cream scoop to keep your cookies the
same size. This not only helps them
look professional, but bake up evenly
and consistently.
* Pans Matter Bake cookies on
light colored, non insulated cookie
sheets without sides. Metal pans will
cook brownies faster than glass pans,
which means cooking times will vary.
Start checking your brownies early to
test if they're ready and prevent over
baking.
