GOING HIGH TECH
Piles of data organized at appraiser's office
Editor's note: This is the'second
in a series of articles describing a
:day in the life of Osceola County
officials.
By Steve Magruder
Staff Writer
Atlee Mercer is in charge of some
really complicated stuff.
For the better part of two years,
Osceola County's 65-year-old prop-
erty appraiser has led efforts to trans-
form his office's seemingly infinite
,amount of maps, records and assort-
:ed data into a seamless information
system for employees and the aver-
age property owner.
If things go well, all this informa-
tion could be made available online
and free to the public in the next five
years, Mercer said.
"I believe that the people who pay A
:are the people who own (the infor-
mation)," he said.
Mercer left his Osceola County
Commission seat to replace former
Property Appraiser Bob Day, who
was removed from office in May
12006 and later convicted of grand
Theft and misusing county employ-
sees.

issues still
unresolved

The futures of the Tourist
Development Council, the
Kissimmee Convention &

convention center are
unclear right now, Osceola
County Manager Michael
Freilinger said, and he's
determined to fix that.
Freilinger brought these
issues before Tourist Devel-
opment Council members
Wednesday, nobfiig that the
potential convention center
was the most pressing on
his list.

Bees swarm on helicopter
SBy Juliana A. Torres
Staff Writer
Firefighters were called to
combat possible Africanized
bees swarming a helicopter
,that landed at the Kissimmee
Gateway Airport Thursday
afternoon.
.The private helicopter was
flying southwest 'of the air-
/port when the bees suddenly
surrounded it. The pilot was
afraid to get out after he
landed and the airport tower
called for the Kissimmee Fire
Department for assistance.
The bees were probably
attracted to the helicopter's
strobe lights, Battalion Chief
Duane Hunter said. The
lights produce a harmonic
that often causes bees to
swarm.
Firefighters, protected by
full gear and bee veils, were
prepared to spray flame
retardant foam at the bees to
repel and incapacitate them.
However, once the pilot
turned his strobe lights off,
the bees all but disappeared,
Hunter said. The rest were
killed by the helicopter's
rotor blades
"We could find nothing
but dead bees," Hunter said.
Firefighters searched the
area for a hive and found an
area near the airport where
the bees seemed to be con-
centrated. Airport officials
told the firefighters that the
bees might have lived in a
trailer that was recently
moved from the area.
The area was closed off
to the public until extermi-
nators could eliminate the
bees Friday morning. Fire-
fighters collected samples of
the dead bees they found to
send to the Florida Depart-
ment of Agriculture to
determine if the bees were

City opposes tax reform
By Juliana A. Torres
Staff Writer
Emotions became charged
as Kissimmee city commission-
ers discussed Tuesday how they
would confront the impending
property tax reform amend-
ment.
They eventually voted on an
advertising campaign that cau-
tions residents from voting for a
tax savings that could reduce
their quality of life.
City staff reported that next
year's budget might be reduced
by $850,000 if the amendment,
passes during the presidential
primaries Jan. 29. Commis-
sioners already cut $3.7 million
from this year's budget due to
state mandates from last year's
legislative session.
In December, commissioners
asked the city's public informa-
tion office to prepare a cam-
paign that would educate resi-
dents about the effects of the
property tax reform without
costing taxpayers extra money.
The advertisements the com-
missioners approved Tuesday

be tough? Yes.

include slides and a public serv-
ice announcement on the pub-
lic access channel Access Osce-
ola, ads in local newspapers, a
notice on the city's Web site and
an explanatory e-mail sent to
subscribers of the city's "k-
mail."
An Access Osceola slide
asks, "Reduced Property Taxes
= Reduced Quality of Life?"
For an average savings of
$240 a year, or 67 cents per
day, the quality of life in Kissim-
mee could be greatly reduced, a
public service announcement
goes on to say.
"It might take longer for;
police.. officers to respond to
your calls for service. We may
have to reduce the hours or
close some of our park facilities. :
Some community events may
have to be eliminated. Land-
scaped areas in our parks aind
along city streets may not be
maintained as often," the sub-
scriber e-mail states.
.The campaign also will
include an interview on the
Access Osceola show Kissim-
mee FYI with City Manager
Mark.Durbin, who will explain
the city's views on the amend-
ment.
While taking offense to
how the state Legislature has
mandated tax cuts has been
an underlying theme of many
commission meetings, not all
commissioners were in favor
of what the city staff came up
with. Commissioner Carlos
Irizarry urged his fellow com-
missioners to make the
"tough decisions" to deal with

St. Cloud agencies facing cuts
By Steve Magruder
Staff Writer
Budget cuts should be equi-
table and fair during rough
economic times, even when it
comes to local community
groups in need, a St. Cloud
City Council member pro-
posed Thursday.
Seat 2 Councilman' Tom
Griffin recommended reducing
each community agency grant
to 60 percent of its 2007 lev-
els to keep the city's cost at its
target payout of $150,000 or
less.
By his calculations, the 40
percent reductions to the city's
23 recurring
community
agencies drop
the proposed
amount to
$137,248.
"Nobody's
favored and
nobody's slight- Griffin
ed," Griffin said. "If there is a
40 percent reduction, it should
be shared by everybody."
Five other agencies The.
Transition House, Applause
Academy, Harmony Blood
Drive, Michigan Avenue Ele-
mentary and St. Cloud Aquat-
ics Team declined their fund-
ing, which amounted to
$12,660.
Griffin, also the director of
The Transition House, recom-
mended dividing that money
evenly among the other agen-
cies to bring the total as close
to $150,000 as possible.
The Silver Clouds Commu-
nity Orchestra was the only
agency not to receive the addi-
tional $575.45 in Griffin's
proposal because it would
have been more than its entire
proposed grant of $512.

Continued from page A-
the budget cuts.
"Do we need to be tough?
Yes. Do we need to stop the
complaining and blaming the
Legislature?" he questioned.
"The Legislature is there to
do' their job. We are here to
do ours."
Irizarry said he had confi-
dence that Durbin and his staff
could find ways to raise the lost
$850,000 or cut the budget.
He suggested that the city could
charge for some of the events it
puts on or just eliminate
"unnecessary" ones.
S"I do no want to see my
neighbor losing their home or
somebody losing their home
because they have information
that the police might not
respond as quick as they (do
now)," he said. "I don't think
that the service and the quality
of the service that the city of
Kissimmee is giving to the citi-
zens will be affected."
His words elicited strong
reactions from other com-
missioners.
"If anybody's foolish enough
to think that $850,000
reduced from our budget will
not affect city services, then
they, sir, are clueless," Mayor
Jim Swan said. "The governor
is not responsible for the
health, safety and welfare of
the citizens that you and I serve,
sir. Until he's got the courage to
come down here and face the
citizens while we reduce servic-
es in this community, then he
doesn't have any courage."
Irizarry was especially against
having Durbin on the Kissim-
mee FYI show without some-
one else there to defend the tax
reform amendment.
"If you want my support on
this, I would like somebody else
explain the other side of the
coin," he said before making
the solitary vote against the
city's education plan.
Swan suggested he himself
appear on the show as well,
which was not included in the
commission's approved plan.
"I don't have any problem in
defending the requirements of
this community ... and standing
up and. telling people the truth
rather than what they want to
hear," he said.
Commissioner Jeanne Van
Meter pointed out that the city
was set to lose more than $4
million of its $137 million
budget during two years of
property tax reform and asked
residents to equate the same
percentage loss to their own
budgets at home.
"Imagine what you would do
if they took that much. You
would not be able to exist in
your house," she said. "We
have no obligation whatsoever
to support the other side. The
other side is not right."
Bees
Continued from page A-i
indeed Africanized.
This is the second case of
possible Africanized bees
that the city fire department
has dealt with recently,
Kissimmee Fire Department
Lt. Joan Robinson said.
About a month ago, bees
were discovered on a water
meter in the Mill Run neigh-
borhood. While no residents
were immediately in danger,
the bees were exterminated.
Firefighters sent a sample to
the Department of Agricul-
ture, which determined that
the bees were an early hybrid
of the Africanized bee.
The department recently
started training its firefight-
ers how to handleincidents
with the more aggressive
version of the honeybee after
county firefighters first iden-
tified some about a year ago.
The difference between
European bees and their.
closely related cousins lies in
their behavior, Robinson said.
Africanized bees are far more
aggressive, more of a threat in
large numbers and swarm a
larger distance. They also nest
closer to the ground, while
European bees nest in high,
out-of-the-way places and are
slower to swarm when there is
a threat to their nest.
Once an Africanized
drone mates with a Euro-
pean queen bee, it usually
takes several generations of
breeding before those char-
acteristics manifest them-
selves in the behavior of an
entire hive, Robinson said.
"They're fairly new to our
county," Robinson said. "But
they're probably not going
away.
That's why it's important
for firefighters to be trained
with how to deal with them
and respond quickly and seri-
ously to a possible threat,
she said.

Aging is set to receive

2007 but still far more than
the $10,280 expected by St.

Councilwoman Mickey
Hopper asked whether more
money should be given to
the Council on Aging
because of the amount and
variety of services it pro-
vides, but Griffin said that
negated his proposal's con-
cept of fairness.
There are a lot of deserv-
ing groups on the list, he
said, but he tried to take his
emotions out of the picture
with his calculations.
No formal actions were
taken on the proposal, but
Assistant City Manager
Michelle Bronson said staff
members would take a look
at Griffin's proposal and
report back to the council.

your effort," St. Cloud

Griffin during the discussion.

did it, it was going to hurt."

County has collected a 6 per-
cent tourist development tax
on rental charges for guests
staying in hotels or other
short-term rental properties,
with one-sixth of the rev-
enue, or between $3.5 mil-
lion and $5 million each
year, earmarked for a con-
vention center.
There will be about $18
million set aside for a con-
vention center by the end of
the 2008 fiscal year, but no
plans have been made for its
use.
Freilinger asked council

During Wednesday's

tioned privatizing the

he would like the county
to maintain control of its

Making a difference
Residents and leaders in
Poinciana are trying to make a differ-
ence. And, as the number of con-
cerned residents grows, there may
be a chance they will be able to
accomplish something.
Poinciana Vision, a grassroots
group being spearheaded by Ivan
Maldonado, a minister for Change
Ministries Inc., is building momen-
tum with more and more residents
becoming involved.
The mission of the group is to
address and make serious efforts to
change some of the problem areas
that plague the community of
77,000. Those areas include crime,
home foreclosures, transportation,
unemployment, small business estab-
lishment and elderly services.
In the prophetic words of
Maldonado, "If nothing happens,
Poinciana, I'm afraid; will become a
slum area."
About 30 church and community
leaders have offered their help to
see that the initiatives of the group
take shape. This is an extremely
positive undertaking by this group
in that there is no sanctioning of ...
anything ... because of no munici-
pal government.
The group has met a few times
and seems to grow with each meet-
ing. This is a good indication people
are willing to get involved to better
their community.
Community leaders from Buen-
aventura Lakes also are keeping a
close eye on the progress of the
group, hoping to some day imple-
ment many of the standards that are
being set in Poinciana.
There will be another meeting
Monday, Jan. 21, at the Poinciana
Community Center and it could be a
chance for more residents to get
involved.
Perhaps, though, Maldonado and
his group are out of their league in
their thinking they can make a differ-
ence, that all the problems facing the
community of Poinciana can be
solved or, at least, altered to a livable
degree. Maybe they are just reaching
too high to make any notable accom-
plishments.
But, in our humble opinion,
nothing ventured, nothing gained.
And with the power of numbers
and a lot of faith, another world
can be created.
Imagine the worst:
It can still happen here

Letter writer
'misinformed'
To the editor:
I was astonished by the perceptions and misin-
formed comments by Frank Castiglia in his recent
letter to the editor concerning the Osceola Council
on Aging (COA). I will try to address his issues.
1. The COA's management. The COA is one of
the best-managed social service agencies in the
state. Over 98 cents of every dollar invested goes
directly to client services. Yes, I am saying that
administrative costs at the COA is below 10 per-
cent. I challenge Mr. Castiglia to illustrate better
management at a comparable agency in Central
Florida.
2. The current funding crisis is a direct result of
the most recent legislative changes with regard to
taxes. The local municipalities have made severe
cuts to our funding and have planned more -
as a result of the legislative actions. The city of
Kissimmee has cut funding by 25 percent and
Osceola County plans to cut its COA funding by 33
percent next year. Without a crystal ball to tell of
the legislative outcomes, there is no reasonable
way for the COA to plan for the unknown.
3. The COA's mission. The Osceola Council on
Aging is a nonprofit, private charitable organiza-
tion dedicated to providing services to enable inde-
pendence and self-sufficiency for seniors, disabled
adults and disadvantaged families. Recognizing that
community needs are not static, since the start of
the council in 1971 our mission has in fact
changed in order to meet the dynamic needs of our
community. And yes, we have added programs to
help at-risk children and disadvantaged families.
However, none of the programs have taken away
from the services we started with. We now have
over 29 programs that comprehensively address
the needs of Osceola County residents,
4. The COA is a welfare organization. Why
yes, the COA is committed to the welfare of the
senior citizens and others in our community. How
do you make caring for the welfare of our commu-
nity dirty?
5. Other organizations' cuts. Every social service
organization is feeling the current budget cuts. li
fact, that is how our services grew. As other agenh
cies were closing, rather than eliminate those keI
programs, we took them on in order to keep pro'
viding them for our residents in Osceola County.
6. The press. Mr. Castiglia, we get a lot of pres4
because we do a lot of good. We are the largest
provider of services to the residents of Osceol4
County. We served over 39,000 residents last year;
7. Accountability. The COA is audited by alt
funding sources on at least a yearly basis by the fed-;
eral government, the state, the county and oui
local cities. In addition, we conduct an annual audit
by an accounting firm. None have found any defi4
ciencies or mismanagement issues.
Is the Osceola Council on Aging mismanaged?
say NO.
Is Mr. Castiglia misinformed? I say YES.

It is a tremendous honor for the
City of Kissimmee to recognize Larry
Brown as the Employee of the Year
for 2007. Larry is an Engineer with
the Kissimmee Fire Department and
has been employed with the City for
more than 31 years.
Larry consistently demonstrates a
team-concept attitude and displays
an infectious level of camaraderie
that can be attributed to his
successful career as a firefighter.
He goes above and beyond what
is expected of him-sharing his
knowledge and experience with his
Larry Brown fellow co-workers as he provides
encouragement and assistance--
without hesitation.
For the past decade, Larry's passion has been his role as
Commander of the Fire Department's Honor Guard. He is
credited with being the catalyst for making the Honor Guard
the exceptional team it is today. Since its inception, Larry has
devoted countless hours working on extracurricular projects,
such as honor guard protocols, uniform orders, and organizing
civic participation for community events. Larry is the main point
of contact for numerous fire departments in the Central Florida
region. He sacrifices time away from his family to train our
Honor Guard team for competitions and due to his dedication the
team has been recognized statewide time and again.
Without fail, Larry exhibits a positive attitude and has a
personality that is best described as being -magnetic. If you have
the honor of meeting Larry you'll surely get a handshake, and
probably even a hug. He always walks with his head held high
and exhibits pride and dignity in all that he does- making him a
first-rate representative for the Fire Department and the
City of Kissimmee.

Constitutional Amendment 1
Property Tax Reform
On January 29, voters will go to the polls to vote
on Constitutional Amendment 1 on Property Tax
Reform. The amendment will provide the average
homeowner with a $240 tax cut, but the City of
Kissimmee would lose at least $850,000 in tax
revenue. Last year $3.7 million was cut from the
City's tax revenue, as a result of property tax
reform.
If this property tax amendment passes, City
services might be reduced. For example, it might
take longer for police officers to respond to non-
emergency calls for service. Some community
events may be eliminated. Maintenance of parks
and City streets may be reduced.
The proposed amendment provides limited relief
to those homeowners who have homestead
exemptions, but does nothing for landlords or
renters.
A broad coalition representing more than one
million voters filed the paperwork to create
"Florida Is Our Home," a ballot initiative
committee to coordinate a statewide grassroots
effort to defeat Amendment 1. The coalition
includes a diverse group of social service
advocates, retirees, community organizations,
and groups representing teachers, firefighters
and other workers.
Some of those groups include:
* Florida

The depart-

several reports
* of stolen vehi- odguez
cles in Novem-
ber and December. Neighbors
of the victims told detectives
they saw two men in a U-haul
towing the vehicles away.
Another victim found his vehi-
cle at the U Pull & Pay Salvage
Company.
The three suspects took the
stolen vehicles immediately to
the salvage company, where
they were paid $250 for each
vehicle, detectives reported.
The company would check that
the vehicles were not stolen
before accepting them. Howev-
er, in each case the owner did
not realize his or her car was
gone yet and the vehicle
cleared the check.
Detectives worked with
management at the company
to determine that each of the
stolen vehicles was sold by one
of the three suspects. Rivera
faces three counts of grand
theft auto, Perez was charged
with four and Ortiz with one.
Detectives filed arrest warrants
for all three on Tuesday. Ortiz
was arrested Wednesday and
booked in the Osceola County
Jail.
Meth lab discovered
The father of a 25-year-old
St. Cloud resident found chem-
icals and materials that could
be used to make methamphet-
amine in his home and report-
ed the items to the Osceola
County Investigative Bureau.
His son,
Jared Carter,
was arrested
standing driv-
ing on a sus-
pended license
warrant and
interviewed by Carter
agents about
the materials. Agents also
found drugs,. including: 2.9
grams of marijuana and 0.3
grams of meth, in his car.
The father boxed up the
possible meth ingredients
when he found them and
brought them to his business in
Kissimmee to show detectives,
who met with him around 6
p.m. Wednesday. Agents
determined that the materials
were consistent with those
needed for a meth lab before
finding Carter at his Beth Lane
home.
Landlord accused of
stalking tenant
Osceola County Sheriff's
Office detectives arrested a
landlord for burglarizing and
stalking one of his tenants.
The tenant, who lives on
Savanna Drive in Kissimmee,
told detectives on Wednesday
about several instances, as far
back as October last year,
where her landlord, 78-year-old
Seymour Gellis,
of Kissimmee,
entered her
home without
her permission.
The victim
would tell Gellis
to leave, but he
intimidated and Gellis
scared her.
On one occasion in Decem-
ber, Gellis came into her home
while the victim's son was
home after school. The boy
was scared and hid under his
mother's bed. He said he saw
Gellis rummaging through the
victim's bedroom drawers,
looking at personal clothing.
Appraiser
Continued from page A-i
this year's election, is sup-
porting his chief of staff,
Katrina Scarborough, for
the position.
His office, now located with
the Supervisor of Elections
and the Tax Collector on U.S.
Highway 192 between Kissim-
mee and St. Cloud, is tasked
with the job of appraising
about 160,000 land parcels
spread out across nearly a mil-
lion square acres of land in
Osceola County.
The legal records for every
lot split, sale and upgrade go
through at least one and, in
many cases, several depart-
ments at the office, including
land records, graphic informa-
tion system, data entry and
exemptions.
High-resolution aerial pho-
tos taken Jan. 2 will be broken
down in the next few months
for every piece of property in
the county.
On the ground, computer-
ized trucks have been out on
the road since October to take
snapshots of every single resi-
dential property in the county.
Workers soon will overlay
those photos with existing
maps and multiple data layers
to create one of the most thor-
ough, organized and accurate
property images available.
"What we're trying to do is
get it right and get it right for
everybody," Mercer said.
The office also is preparing
to merge its massive graphic
information department'with
a similar one run by the coun-
ty so that residents can fulfill
all their map and appraisal
needs in one location.
In any business, especially
one as detailed as property
appraisals, employee happi-
ness is crucial to success, Mer-
cer said.
He makes a point to train
his nearly 70 employees for a
variety of positions around the
office. Half of them are,
equipped to work in customer
service, if needed.
To spruce up the walls,
Mercer a professional pho-
tographer outside the office -
donated dozens of his own
tropical and exotic landscape
images for employees to have
framed.
Mercer also makes sure
everyone is paid well and has
access to the most advanced
technology available. The
result, he said, is a happy
workforce with high produc-
tivity and low turnover.
Because it would be almost
impossible to personally
appraise more than 85,000
homes each year, most of the
county's home appraisals are
conducted annually by a com-
puter software program.
Using home sale records,
square footage and a host of
other factors, the program
rates a resident's home on a 1
to 5 scale and determines an
average appraisal that Mercer.
describes as "uncannily accu-
rate."
Although many residents
throughout the state argued
about rising property assess-.
ments in 2007, few dis-
agreed enough to ask for a
personal assessment in
Osceola County.
That's because the comput-
er appraisal is allowed to
deduct the cost of sale, Mer-
cer said, making its typical
estimate about 15 percent
lower than the true market
sale price.
"We're not overassessing
people's properties in the vast
majority of cases," he said.
On Jan.. 29, voters will
have a chance to enact
statewide property tax legisla-
tion that would cut what they
pay by doubling the home-
stead exemption from
$25,000 to $50,000 and
making the Save Our Homes
assessment cap portable up
to $500,000.

PINNING DOWN A SCHOLARSHIP
Niko Brown opts
for wrestling grant
to UT-Chattanooga
By Rick Pedone
News-Gazette Staff Writer
Niko Brown took care
of business during the
early signing period in
November when he signed
a wrestling scholarship to
the University of Ten-
nessee-Chattanooga.
Now, the Osceola High
171-pound senior is impa-
tiently waiting for a minor
injury to heal so he can get
back on the mat and defend
his No.1 state ranking.
"It's not bad. I should be
back in another week," he
said. "I hate.missing tourna-
ments."
His importance to the
Kowboys was amplified last
weekend when Osceola fin-
ished second to Miami
Columbus at the Chami-
nade-Madonna holiday
tournament at Hollywood.
"He would have wrestled
a guy from Columbus he
never lost to and he proba-
bly would have won," said
Kowboys assistant Rick
Tribit. "We lost by 22
points. He would have

and the Kowboys will bring
the best OHS team in the
school's history to the tour-
nament and they will be
considered favorites along
with defending champion
Oviedo and South Dade.
"My goal's the state
championship," said
Brown, who began his
OHS career as a 140-
pounder before a growth
spurt boosted him to 171
before his junior year.
"Our team has a good
chance. Once we get every-
one in the lineup, we're
going to be tough. We
haven't had our lineup
together all year."
Football players like
Charlie Burgess, Taylor
Thompson and Robert
Strader should bolster the
upper end of the lineup
once they get in condition.
"There's nothing like
wrestling shape," said
Brown, who played foot-
ball, soccer and martial arts
before locking on wrestling.
"I ran cross country, and
that wasn't too bad. I qot in

Lady Dogs own OBC title again; districts next
By Ken Jackson
NewsGazelte Staff Writer
After romping unbeaten
through the Orange Belt
Conference again this year,
the St. Cloud girls soccer
team is now looking for a
new honor.
The Bulldogs host the
4A District 7 tournament.
beginning Monday, and
while they've been the toast
of the conference for five
years running now, they've
never hoisted the solid oak
trophy given to a district
champ.
St. Cloud clnpleted its
fourth consecutive unde-
feated, until season
against county foes with a
5-0 win over Osceola on
Thursday at Kowboy Field.
The Kowgirls managed a
tie with the Bulldogs in the
2003-04 season, the year
before Coach Renae
Cicchinelli took over.on the
sideline. That was the last
time the Bulldogs didn't
earn a victory in an OBC
match, and the string has
become a source of pride.
"It's something we think
about because it's an honor
to be the OBC champion
every year," Cicchinelli
said. "I'm sure the girls
think about it when we play
Celebration because
they've, played us the
toughest in the county."
The Bulldogs go into the
tournament with a 15-6
record this year, 6-0 in the
OBC and 6-1 in district
play. The rest of the sched-
ule was filled with teams

who will likely be in the
playoffs in other classes -
Trinity Prep, St. Petersburg
Catholic, Olympia, Winter
Springs, East Ridge and
Titusville Astronaut.
The record has been bet-
ter in past seasons, but
consider that the Bulldogs
lost seven senior starters off
of last year's team that lost
a 1-0 heartbreaker to Eustis
in the district semifinals. It
ended a three-year streak
of making the regional
playoffs.
St. Cloud has rebounded
by spreading, the offense.
Junior Hannah Hunt leads
the team with 23 goals,
including two in Thursday's
win, but 10 players scored
four times this year, and 16
of the 17 players who
played a varsity game
found the back of the net.
Cicchinelli said that
team unity has likely been
the team's biggest asset.
"This team plays really
well together, the chem-
istry's about as good as any
time I've been here," she
said.
Amber Woods, a mid-
fielder, and Nicole Cisler
are the only seniors on the
team. Woods said the Bull-
dogs have essentially grown
up together playing in the
St. Cloud Soccer Club.
"We've all played
together on some club
team at some time,"
Woods said. "This team's
got a bunch of diehards
that just go after every ball.
And this team passes better
and faster than last year."
Despite the 6-1 district
record, the Bulldogs lost
tiebreakers with Bishop
.Moore and Eustis and are
the third seed when they
play their 4A-7 first-round
game Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Bishop Moore and Harmo-
ny play at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The winners meet Wednes-
day at 7 p.m. The Hornets
are the defending state
champions; St. Cloud last
beat Bishop Moore two
seasons ago, but they won't
back down from the chal-
lenge..
"We're going to have to
beat them and Eustis to win
the district anyway, so if we
play well it doesn't matter
what order they come in,"
Cicchinelli said.
Woods said the team
goes into the tournament
with the right mindset
about potentially needing
to beat the Hornets to
claim a regional berth.
"In the past we've put
Bishop Moore on this
pedestal. We've decided
that's not necessary," she
said. "The mind games that
may have been there in the
past just aren't there on this
team.
"We just want to win
every time we take the
field. I know we can do it,
win the district. We had a
lull a couple weeks ago but
we've picked it up the past
couple of weeks."

bracket, top-seeded Eustis

Like LSU, we emerge from four and
a half months of daring if not frightful
competition as the national champion
football prognosticators for 2007-08.
You don't believe it?
Well, the computer doesn't lie, peo-
ple. We spent hours rigging ours so that
we'd be No.1.
Young Jackson is in full celebratory
swagger after his preseason BCS cham-
pionship pick, those Tigers, clunked
Ohio State on Monday.
It is a tainted victory at best (two loss-
es?), but as Young Jackson said, "Who
doesn't have two losses?"
You mean, except for the Patriots?
I claim partial salvation because my
USC-West Virginia showdown was
derailed by the infamous "Walt Harris
Syndrome.
What's that? Walt Harris coached at
both Stanford (which knocked off USC)
and Pitt (which erased West Virginia).
It's well known in football circles that
the only thing dreaded more than Walt
Harris Syndrome is being selected as
'lead videographer for the Patriots.
Jackson isn't doing handsprings after
picking only one NFC playoff team
(Seattle) and four in the AFC (New Eng-
land, Indianapolis, San Diego and Pitts-
burgh). I was marginally better, adding
only Dallas as, a wild card in the NFC.
Brian "Big Man" McBride gets partial
BCS credit by tabbing Ohio State to lose
in the title game, but to Boise State?
Juliana "Tejana" Torres had LSU los-
ing to Texas. Ms. Longhorn would pick
Texas over New England...
Young Jackson's preseason.Super,
Bowl pairing is a shambles with New
Orleans over Indianapolis. I had New
England over New Orleans. What was
our infatuation with the Saints, anyway?
Did they send us some jambalaya?
The news staff envisioned some ratio-
nal Super Bowl possibilities.
Tejana Torres has Dallas winning it
all, but over Baltimore.
Big Man McBride will be disappoint-
ed if Indianapolis beats his Cowboys, as
he predicted.
Petey "The Gators Are Going To
Win" Covino, a.k.a. "The Divine Wind,"
has New England over Dallas.
As for the preseason contributions of
Steve "Scooter" Magruder and.Andrew

that they were off a smidge.

Seattle at Green Bay (-8): What's with
the eight-point spread? The Hawks can
play D, and it's not like the weather in
Seattle is sunny and clear each winter.
But, how can we pick against Favre?
Pack by 4.
Jacksonville at New England (-13):
I'm guessing that Belichick won't be call-
ing for any two-point conversion
attempts from the 12-yard line, or for
quarterback sweeps on third-and-6. It's
been fun, Jags, but...Pats by 17.
San Diego at Indianapolis (-7 1/2):
Let's see, Peyton Manning threw six
interceptions against the Chargers a
couple months ago and the Colts still
would have won if Adam Vinatieri
hadn't yakked on a gimmee field goal.
Anyone see six more interceptions, in
Manning's future? Colts by 10.
N.Y. Giants at Dallas (-7 1/2): Forget
about Eli's resurrection and T.O.'s
ankle. What we need to know is how
much water did Tony Romo drink South
of the Border? Pokes by 2.
Next week: NFC championship:
Cowboys 31, Pack 27. AFC champi-
onship: Pats 23, Colts 21.
Young Jackson says: I need one dif-
ferent to tie the old man, so Seahawks
by 1, along with the rest of it. Next
week: Dallas 35, Seattle 17 and New

A little over a week ago
we woke up to a windy 26
degrees. This week we had
temperatures in the low
80s. That's one good thing
about Florida; it's not going
to stay cold for too long. I
heard several people say
they. had water tempera-
tures in the upper 40s, but
the lowest I saw was 54
degrees. Either way, it was
low enough to keep the bass
from hitting very well.
I went out on Thursday and
found two areas where the
bass were back to schooling. I
caught a few on a Carolina rig
and four on a jerk bait.
The cold water also slowed
down the shiner fishing as far
as numbers are concerned,
but the bass that are being
caught are really nice ones.
I've heard of a couple of 10
pounders being caught and
I've caught a couple of 7
pounders.
As water temps continue
to rise, look for the bass
fishing to really light up.
Some bass will start heading
for the shallows and some
will stay deep.
Spec fishing is starting to
heat up, with some limit
catches being reported. I
haven't heard much about the
bluegills, but I've seen a few
being caught along the lake-
front.
Send fishing informa-
tion to Jacque Mitchell
at capjac@usfamily.net
or phone 407-933-0951.

play in Wednesday's 5 p.m.
semifinal.
The championship game is
Thursday at 7 p.m.
Osceola and Gateway will
compete in the 6A District 6
tournament at Palm Bay.
The Kowgirls, seeded fifth,
will take on Vero Beach Tues-
day at 5 p.m., with the winner
facing Melbourne on Wednes-
day at 5 p.m. The Panthers
and Eau Gallie play Tuesday
at 7 for the right to play Palm
Bay on Wednesday at 7. The
championship is Friday at 7.
In the 5A District 6 tourna-
ment, Liberty, the sixth-seed,
will play host Lake Region
Tuesday at 7:30.
In boys soccer, Osceola
must forfeit four games from
early in the season because of
an ineligible player.
The forfeits change the
Kowboys record to 9-7.
Coach Tom Bell said the
ruling is unfortunate for his
players, as he was given the
green light from an eligibility
standpoint.
"We go on what we're told.
If I hear the kid's eligible from
administration then I let him
play," Bell said. "Now I'm told
that grade forgiveness is not
available for athletes, but isn't
an athlete just another student
first?"
None of the forfeits affect
the Kowboys' district record
(3-2), meaning they're still in
line for a high seed at the dis-
trict tournament in two weeks.
"We're fine. We've finally
gotten everybody on the same
sheet of music, so I'm more
confident now than I was two
weeks ago," Bell said. "Guys
like Pat Lambert and Jeremy
Sanchez and Chris Elster-
mann going full strength after
football make us a deeper
team."
Osceola dropped out of a
three-way tie for the Orange
Belt Conference crown with
Gateway and Harmony at 5-
1. The Panthers beat the
Longhorns in their meeting,
giving Gateway the OBC title
outright.
"We're glad to be able to
win it, it's a big deal around
here," said GHS Coach Sadek
Hajali. "We were second the
last two years and won it the
year before, so we were tired
of just coming close."

Things do to before you kick the bucket
Nicholson and Freeman are two good reasons to see this film
Jack is back.
And Morgan Freeman is with
him in The Bucket List, a film
that doesn't particularly have any
great breakthroughs in cinema,
but is pleasing none the less
thanks to its two veteran stars.
We've seen both Nicholson
S and Freeman do similar stuff
before, seemingly countless
times, but there is something
special about seeming them
Doing it together.
Jack is the irritable oldster
once again (As Good as it
Gets, Something's Gotta
Give) and Freeman is, well, the
wizened old man (Driving Miss
Daisy).
You've probably seen the
trailer, which sums up the whole
premise rather nicely: Both men
have been diagnosed with termi-
nal cancer and have, at best a
year to live, and decide to put
together a list of things they
would like to do before they
"kick the bucket."
Director Rob Reiner manages
to keep this film just a little bit
short of being too sentimental as
the men deal with the successes
and shortcomings of their lives.
He, along with screenwriter
Justin Zackman, even make it a
center point of this film, that
Nicholson's character owns the
hospital, but the two men are still
sharing a room. This is explained
away because Edward, the hospi-
tal CEO, has a mandatory two-
beds per room in all of his hospi-
tals for maximum efficiency.
The two men immediately
detest each other, particularly
Edward who pretty much tram-
ples on anyone who gets in his
way, including his four ex-wives.
The latter ones were the sequels,
he sneers. But a bond slowly

Jump on this shark and eagle
Quirky Comedy
was one of
2007's best
One of the quirkiest come-
dies in all of 2007 and a
Grand Jury Prize nominee at
the Sundance Film Festival
makes its DVD debut this
week.
Eagle vs. Shark, which has
been called the newest
"Napoleon Dynamite", is a
film from New Zealand that
manages to have even more
quirks in it than that Jon
Heder underground hit from a
few years ago.
I There are losers by the
score in this comedy about
Lily, a young woman who
works at strip center fast food
joint, the fabulous Meaty
Burger, and Jarrod, her male
equivalent who works at an
electronics store at the same
Shopping center.
SLily is the biggest loser at
the Meaty Burger, a horrible
place to work, with wretched,
hfeless employees. She perks
Qp though when Jarrod
comes in to order a lunch spe-
cial, but he always goes to the
either cashier, since he fancies
ler.
Jarrod finally comes in
when her rival is absent, and
orders his burger, but he is
really only interested in hand-
ng Lily an invitation to his
*dress as your favorite ani-
tnal" costume party to give to
that other girl when she
comes in.
The other girl couldn't
care less about this party for
losers, so Lily shows up
dressed as a shark, with her
brother, who is great at doing
really bad impersonations.
Lily eventually wows every-
one at the party by beating
them at a video game made
just for this crowd, and 'she
has sex with Jarrod, who is
dressed as an eagle, his
favorite animal. They never
even take off their clothes.
Eventually this crazy plot has
Lily and Jarrod off on a road
trip, accompanied by Lily's
brother, since it is his car.
The objective: Jarrod has
been practicing some truly
awful martial arts moves to

use on the bully who abused
him in school years earlier.
The road trip brings him back
home with his family, who
are of course, another gath-
ering of misfits.
The second half of Eagle
Vs. Shark isn't quite as enter-
taining as the first half, but
there are still plenty of point-
ed observations on life as the
on-again-off-again romance of
Lily and Jarrod goes through
a couple of more changes.
And then there is the big fight
scene where Jarrod takes on
the former school bully, who
is now a quadriplegic. He still
loses.
Director Taika Waititi
shows a lot of promise. He
actually already has one Oscar
nomination for his film short
Two Cars, One Night.
And Jermaine Clement
(Jarrod) can currently be seen
on HBO in the cable net-
work's new series Flight of the
Conchords.
Eagle vs. Shark also stars
Loren Horsley as Lily.
Eagle vs. Shark is a Buena
Vista Home Entertainment
release. The DVD includes
feature commentary by
writer/director Waititi, as well
as actors Horsley, Joel Tobek
and Craig Hall. There are also
several deleted scenes with
optional commentary.

comedy with Amanda Bynes.

Joke!!!
~ tROLLS VS. FORD JOKES
A man driving a Rolls
Royce pulls up at a traffic light
next to a beaten-up old Ford.
** The driver of the Ford, winds down
his window and taps on the Rolls' window.
"Have you got a phone in there?" he shouts.
"Of course," says the driver of the Rolls.
"I got one too," says the Ford driver. "You got a fax machine?"
"Sure:' says the driver of the Rolls.
'Yep, I got one too' says the Ford driver. 'You got a double
bed?"
"No! Have you?" replies the driver of the Rolls.
"In the back there, see!" shouts the Ford driver just as he pulls
away when the traffic light turns green.
Not to be out done, the Rolls Royce driver immediately goes to
the garage and arranges for his car to be customized with the addi-
tion of a double bed.
A week later, the Rolls Royce driver pulls up next to the same
beaten-up old Ford at another set of traffic lights. The windows are
all steamed up, and he's a bit embarrassed, but nevertheless the
Rolls Royce driver winds down his window and taps on the window
of the Ford.
"Check it out," he says. "I've had a double bed fitted in my Rolls'.
"You got me out of the shower to tell me that?"
