TEMPORARILY
- CLOSED

Signs have been posted recently warning
visitors that the swim area is closed at
Veterans Beach in Sebring.

Veterans Beach


closed for at


least 30 days
By MATT MURPHY
mnatt.niurphy@Dnewssun.com
SEBRING While only the brave would
even want to try it right now, swimming at
Veterans Beach will not be allowed for at
least the next 30 days due to possibly unsafe
levels of fecal coliform bacteria in the water.
City Administrator Bob Hoffman said a
large migratory bird population defecating in
the lake, coupled with low water levels, were
the probable causes of the unsatisfactory test.
The weather over the
'T past few days isn't exactly
.- There'S conducive to swimming,
nothing so the temporary closure
has so far gone mostly
we can unnoticed, Hoffman said.
However, the beach will
do. We'll remain closed at least until
the end of January, when
wait until the next monthly test is
mother performed.
A high fecal coliform
nature level was found during a
routine monthly water test
takes care performed by the Florida
Department of Health,
Of it. Hoffman said, meaning
the water at Veterans
BOB Beach is not safe for
HOFFMAN swimming. After the first
Sebring city test came back with an
administrator unsatisfactory result, a
second test was per-
formed. After that test yielded the same
result, the swimming area was closed.
The monthly tests are performed at all four
of the public beaches around Lake Jackson.
Tests at City Pier, Crescent Beach and
Hidden Beach all came back with satisfacto-
ry results, and those beaches will remain
open.
Other than simply waiting on the problem
to fix itself naturally, Hoffman said the city
has limited options to fix the problem.
"There's nothing we can do," he said.

Freeze not as bad as feared

Citrus growers may

have 'dodged a bullet'
By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.comn
SEBRING A bullet dodged was the
cliche of choice for citrus growers counting
their blessings while knocking on wood.
The winds of change blew in with the
new year Tuesday, threatening a hard
freeze.
Highlands County Emergency Manage-
ment issued a freeze watch Wednesday
afternoon.
"We possibly dodged a bullet last night,"
said Gary Blackman of R.P.B. Citrus, based
in Sebring with groves in Highlands and
Hardee counties. "It didn't get quite as cold
as we predicted."
Between the two, Blackman said
Highlands is generally warmer than
Hardee, thus the stronger presence of citrus
here.
His hardest hit grove was across the
county line, where his instruments recorded
27 degrees for six hours. In Highlands, his
groves hovered in the low 30s, dipping
briefly to 29 degrees.
See FREEZE, page 5A

Icicles hang from everywhere Thursday morning (top photo) at the Blue Diamond Blueberries farm in eastern Hardee County and also at
Gary Blackman's nearby R.P.B. Citrus grove (left). The ice on the blueberries was intentional, used by the growers as a way to insulate the
fruit from the below-freezing temperatures that invaded the area. The wind (right) made the temperatures on both Wednesday and
Thursday feel much colder and drove the waters of Lake JAckson into whitecaps.


Germaine gets ready to campaign for his boss' job


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.coi
SEBRING Senior
Director of Court Services
Bob Germaine was surprised
to see Pete Pollard at the
Government Center on
Wednesday.
When Clerk of Courts L.E.
"Luke" Brooker announced
his retirement before
Christmas, Sebring
Community Redevelopment
Executive Director Pollard
said he would seek the office
Brooker has held for 16 years.


Pollard withdraws from race, will

instead support Germaine's run


Germaine, who learned of
the retirement a day before
his staff, said he's spend the
holidays discussing it with his
wife, children and siblings.
"I was real nervous until I
finally got qualified," he said
of filing his paperwork with
the Supervisor of Elections on
Wednesday to begin his first
attempt at public office.


"Now, I'm very excited. I'm
ready to hit the road this
weekend, get out there and
meet people."
Pollard, who also was
going to run in the Republican
primary, changed his mind.
Instead, he's endorsing
Germaine.
"I have the greatest respect
for Bob," Pollard said. "I


believe he has the experience
and the vision to be a superb
clerk of courts."
Germaine began his career
as a deputy clerk in 1971,
working for then-Clerk Earl
Rich and remained on board
when Brooker defeated Rich
in 1993.
He says he's most qualified
to be the next clerk, with 26
years experience.
"I love my job," Germaine
tells people who ask why he's

Before Eason eases out, Shirey lands at airport


By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.corn
AVON PARK "I told you it
would be a cold day when I left the
council," Doug Eason said to laugh-
ter as he took his city council seat
for the last time Wednesday morn-
ing. "When you make your deci-
sions, remember the folks," were his
last words of record as he stepped
off the dais a short while later.
Eason announced his retirement
last November.
But before he stepped down and
AlJoe Hinson, who was elected to
fill the seat, was sworn in, the coun-
cil concluded some business, held
over from 2007.
It hired C.B. Shirey, who has been
the longest serving city manager in
the city's history, to serve as manag-
er of the Avon Park Executive
Airport effective immediately.
Shirey had indicated an interest in
the job during the last council meet-
ing of 2007. Council members were


immediately enthusiastic.
The delay was the result of legal
research making sure no rules or
regulations were broken in offering
Shirey the position.
The council adopted a proposal
introduced by council member
George Hall. It outlined the specifics
of the transition.
For example, Shirey will continue
to be paid at the current city manag-
er rate for 60 days, while he helps
create a smooth change, but it was
made clear that change needed to be
quick and complete. After that his
salary will be adjusted.
He will keep his current computer
and office furnishings, and be pro-
vided a used work truck from city
inventory, to be used for work only.
His benefit package will not change.
While the council searches for a
new city manager, City Clerk Sarah
Adelt will serve in the interim
beginning immediately. New hires
during the interim will have to be


approved by the council.
Adelt will be assigned a city car
for work purposes only, and given a
stipend of an additional $1,750 a
month while she fills the duties of
the city manager's office.
When council member Brenda
Gray asked if there were provisions
for finding someone to help Adelt by
taking on at least some of the the
city clerk duties, Hall admitted he
hadn't thought of it.
He added that the job would not
be as taxing for her as it was for
Shirey because the airport manage-
ment chores would no longer be the
city manager's responsibility.
If the work still proved too much
for one person to handle, Hall said,
Adelt, with her new authority, could
delegate some of the work.
Adelt may apply for the position
on a permanent basis, but if she
should decide not to apply, or the
council selects someone else, she
will be allowed to return to the city

Doug Eason felt relief at stepping down after years of public service. His final
words to the city council were to ask them to remember the folks at home.


clerk's position.
When asked after the meeting if
she was thinking about taking on the
job permanently Adelt just laughed,
rolled her eyes, and said "it's way


too early."
She added she felt prepared for
the interim because of all the contin-
uing education courses the city has
provided for her over the years.


Fire destroys garage in Avon Park


News-Sun photo by CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
In one of his last city manager type responsibilities, C. B.
Shirey swore newly elected city councilman AlJoe Hinson
into office.


Hinson sworn in to


Avon Park City Council


By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.comi
AVON PARK AlJoe
Hinson, who teaches math at
Sebring High School, was
sworn in as Avon Park's fifth
city council member on
Wednesday morning, follow-
ing Doug Eason's retirement.
Despite the early hour of 7
a.m. and temperatures in the
low 40s, a small group of
family and friends were on
hand to congratulate him,
including his wife Dorothy.
During the very first piece
of 2008 business, a possible
shift became apparent on the
council. It occurred during
the normally pro forma coun-
cil housekeeping task of
selecting a deputy mayor.
Mayor Sharon Schuler
handed the gavel to Deputy
Mayor George Hall in order
to make a motion nominating
him to continue in that posi-
tion.
Hinson then asked if he
could make a nomination and
was told he could. He made a
motion nominating council


woman Brenda Gray.
There was a brief, surprised
silence, then the motions,
which had each received sec-
onds, were called.
The first motion passed 3-2
with Schuler, Hall and Joe
Wright, all voting for the
motion nominating Hall. The
second amendment failed -A
with Gray and Hinson voting
for it.
Following the meeting,
Hinson said he felt that Gray,
having served on the council
longer than Hall, should serve
as deputy mayor.
Hinson's primary concern
at this moment, he added, is
finding a quality police chief
and city manager. Especially
regarding the manager's posi-
tion, Hinson said, "I'd love to
see someone who is familiar
with the city. I know we have
a lot of people who worked
with the city (and have the
experience)."
He also hopes to help find
ways to attract more hotels to
Avon Park.

APPD's Rowan plans to run for sheriff


Has been interim

chief for 4 months

By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy@newssun.comn
AVON PARK After
climbing the ranks of the
Avon Park Police Department
for 12 years, Interim Chief of
Police Michael J. Rowan is
taking the next step and turn-
ing his eye on the county.
Rowan has announced he
will run for Highlands County
Sheriff in the upcoming elec-
tion, something he has
thought about for the last few
months.
"I am at the position in my
life where I would like to
advance in my career," he
said.
"I have been part of a law
enforcement team here that
has dropped their crime rate
50 percent over the last 10
years. I want to be able to do
that for the citizens of
Highlands County."
Rowan has spent his entire
law enforcement career with
APPD.
"I started as a patrolman
and worked my way up
through the ranks," he said.
"I've held every position
available here."
A police officer for the first
four years of his career, he
then advanced to a detective,
responsible for 30 to 40 cases
a month.
After his three-year stint as
a detective, he moved to ser-
geant of the Road Patrol
Division, where he was in


charge of four other officers,
from 2003,06. ,
Rowan tecak~.seco~nd in
command starting in January
of 2007, and has acted as
interim chief for the depart-
ment for four months, since
the departure of Chief Frank
Mercurio.
During that time, he has
overseen daily operations of
all the APPD divisions, and
had the authority to make
budget decisions.
"I have a great working
relationship with the city and
the people I serve," Rowan
said. "They don't want for
anything."
Rowan said police work is
in his blood nearly his
entire family is serving the
public in some capacity.
From sibling department
heads across the states to his
father's work with the New
York State Troopers and a
cousin currently serving as a
police chief in New Jersey,
they have all gravitated
toward the same path.
Add a supportive wife, and
all the pieces seem to be
falling into place for APPD's
interim chief.
"I'm young, I'm energetic,
and I have a lot of good ideas


that I plan on bringing to
Highlands County," he said.
"I'm excited about the deci-
sion I made, and hope for a
good professional campaign."

of America'will have the
opportunity to find out
Saturday.
Highlands County School

The majority being near or at
retirement age, their construc-
tion skills range from profes-
sional to first-time builder.
The Care-A-Vanners pay
their own expenses to travel
to these organized Habitat
building projects. Drawing
from a pool of more than
6,000 volunteers, this year
teams of RV Care-A-Vanners
are participating in greater
than 75 building projects from


Canada to Florida and
California to Maine.
Highlands County is a popu-
lar draw for the RV Care-A-
Vanners because of the central
Florida location. RVers enjoy
the pleasant weather, camping
close by their worksite, and
having tourist attractions a
short driving distance away.
Highlands County Habitat
for Humanity makes sure the
RVers are well taken care of
during their two-week stay.


Habitat holds a welcome ori-
entation for all RVers upon
their arrival. This is a fun and
informative time when all the
Care-A-Vanners get to meet
one another for the first time.
They have fellowship, and a
wonderful dinner is served.
Habitat supply the RVers with
helpful information, which
includes maps, safety infor-
mation, a Builder's Calendar
and brochures of places to go
and see while in Highlands


County etc.
Most RVers camp at beauti-
ful Camp Cloverleaf 4-H
Camp in Lake Placid. Many
local Habitat volunteers help
make the RVers feel wel-
comed by providing lunches
on the work sites. Habitat is
happy to report that the RV

Highlands County enjoy their
time here and often return
back the following year.

FREEZE
Continued from 1A
By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.com
SEBRING A bullet
dodged was the cliche of
choice for citrus growers
counting their blessings while
knocking on wood.
The winds of change blew
in with the new year Tuesday,
threatening a hard freeze.
Highlands County
Emergency Manage-ment
issued a freeze watch
Wednesday afternoon.
"We possibly dodged a bul-
let last night," said Gary
Blackman of R.P.B. Citrus,
based in Sebring with groves
in Highlands and Hardee
counties. "It didn't get quite
as cold as we predicted."
Between the two,
Blackman said Highlands is
generally warmer than
Hardee, thus the stronger
presence of citrus here.
His hardest hit grove was
across the county line, where
his instruments recorded 27
degrees for six hours. In
Highlands, his groves hov-
ered in the low 30s, dipping
briefly to 29 degrees.
"The wind helped,"
Blackman said. "When the
wind stops, the frost gets in
there."
From midnight to sunrise,
the northwest winds steadily
increased from 7 to 12 mph.
Where the light winds
thwarted frost, it also plagued
some growers trying to coat
their plants with a layer of
ice.
"The wind is what hurt us,"
said Candy Hamilton, who
with her parents and son own
and operate the family busi-

BEACH

By MATT MURPHY

SEBRING While only
the brave would even want to
try it right now, swimming at
Veterans Beach will not be
allowed for at least the next
30 days due to possibly
unsafe levels of fecal col-
iform bacteria in the water.
City Administrator Bob
Hoffman said a large migra-
tory bird population defecat-
ing in the lake, coupled with
low water levels, were the
probable causes of the unsat-
isfactory test.
The weather over the past
few days isn't exactly con-
ducive to swimming, so the
temporary closure has so far
gone mostly unnoticed,
Hoffman said. However, the
beach will remain closed at
least until the. end of January,
when the next monthly test is
performed.
A high fecal coliform level
was found during a routine
monthly water test performed
by the Florida Department of
Health, Hoffman said, mean-

ness, Blue Diamond
Blueberries in Hardee County.
Where the orange growers
irrigated their trees to keep
them warm, Hamilton said
they watered to create an
insulating layer of ice.
The wind prevented even
distribution of the water,
causing exposure and weigh-
ing down branches.
"The majority of our dam-
age was due to broke limbs,"
Hamilton said, explaining ice
was still present at 3:30 p.m.

The family has been in the
blueberry business about 15
years and converted their
seven-acre fields to organic-
grown three years ago.
Their harvests have ranged
from 5,000 flats to 1,800 flats
(3.5 pounds per flat), the low
number due to switching to
organic that initially caused a
50 percent crop reduction.
"My son will be out in the

Hamilton said, explaining it's

They'll spend the next few
days watching the buds, look-
ing for the color change that
signals damage.
Blackman said long freezes
result in dropped fruit and
leaves.
Citrus must be cut open and
evaluated for signs of cold
damage whether a freeze is
long or short lived, the assess-
ment of which will play out
through the March to June
harvest.
"We've got quite a bit of
time for this fruit to hang
before it comes to ripe,"
Blackman said, explaining
most of the remaining citrus
are Valencia.


SWFWMD is required by
the state to set water levels for
each Florida lake. The other
lakes that are affected in the
December ruling include
lakes in Pasco and Polk coun-
ties.

approved levels can be

CLERK
Continued from 1A
By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@ newssitn .corn
SEBRING Senior
Director of Court Services
Bob Germaine was surprised
to see Pete Pollard at the
Government Center on
Wednesday.
When Clerk of Courts L.E.
"Luke" Brooker announced
his retirement before
Christmas, Sebring
Community Redevelopment
Executive Director Pollard
said he would seek the office
Brooker has held for 16 years.
Germaine, who learned of
the retirement a day before
his staff, said he's spend the
holidays discussing it with his
wife, children and siblings.
"I was real nervous until I
finally got qualified," he said
of filing his paperwork with
the Supervisor of Elections on
Wednesday to begin his first
attempt at public office.
"Now, I'm very excited. I'm
ready to hit the road this


9;


weekend, get out there and
meet people."
Pollard, who also was
going to run in the
Republican primary, changed
his mind.
Instead, he's endorsing
Germaine.
"I have the greatest respect
for Bob," Pollard said. "I
believe he has the experience
and the vision to be a superb
clerk of courts."
Germaine began his career
as a deputy clerk in 1971,
working for then-Clerk Earl
Rich and remained on board
when Brooker defeated Rich
in 1993.
He says he's most qualified
to be the next clerk, with 26
years experience.
"I love my job," Germaine
tells people who ask why he's
running for office. "I've been
coming in since I was 21
years old. The taxpayers have
been paying for my training
all these years. It'd be an
honor for me to be the clerk."
He refers to himself as a
conservative who will run a
conservative office.

A more fitting tribute

The Kenilworth Lodge's sign Tuesday was funny
"Honk if you've already blown all your New
Year's resolutions," it said.
First it made us laugh. Then it made us think about
resolutions gone astray.
Take, for example, the just over 10 miles of county
road that runs up the ridge from U.S. 27, through the
area that was once known as The Quarters, and is now
referred to as Washington Heights, before rolling on
north between orange groves to make a final right
angle turn and end in a T-bone intersection on State
Road 17.
This road has become a victim, we think, to a mix
of betrayed policy and naked political pandering.
We say this because, in spite of the new county pol-
icy of keeping street names and their streets logically
tied, this road has not one name but three: Highlands
Boulevard coming off of U. S. 27, Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard for the short distance through
Washington Heights, and Power Line Road for the
remainder of its course.
Now the confusion created by changing one road's
name three times in such a relatively short distance is
obvious. That this was done at a time when other road
names were being simplified, however, makes it a
matter of concern.
It is the cynicism involved in naming such a short
portion of the road after an important historical figure
that bothers us.
Washington Heights is the heart of a community
that is largely black. The implication that black citi-
zens can be bought off with a couple of blocks of a
street named for a famous American black hero is
insulting, as is the other implication that white
Americans can't have respect for a man of another
color.
In fact, the mishmash of names on the road up the
ridge reflects poorly on the county as a whole, being
such an obvious example of, at the least, an ambiva-
lent racial outlook, and outright profiteering.
We suggest a new, more honest and meaningful res-
olution either name the entire road for the Rev.
King or better, name it Highlands Boulevard for its
entire distance and use a more central road, like
U.S. 27, or Sebring Parkway, to honor the Rev. King.
That would fulfill two important resolutions, mak-
ing the street easier to navigate, and showing a whole
hearted tribute to an American patriot who, after all,
died for his beliefs.


Ignore the crows ai


soar with the eagle


The quiet morning was
interrupted with the loud
chattering of birds nearby.
Going outside to see what
had caused such a commo-
tion, I saw perched on the
telephone satellite antenna a
flock of crows, sitting and
fluttering where an eagle had
been nesting.
As they idly fluttered, dis-
rupted and chattered, the
eagle flew from the nest and
soared high above the confu-
sion that had invaded its
habitat, leaving the crows to
agitate each other.
I stood watching to see
what would happen next.
After all, the center of their
unwanted attention had left.
This seem to annoy them.
Moments later, they all flew
off, perhaps in search of
another target.
What I also noticed was
that the eagle could have
easily killed the entire flock.
Yet, with all its strength and
power, it did not waste its
time and energy to combat
the crows that had invaded
its territory. Instead it
ignored them and soared
above the situation.
In life, we, too, experience
the disruption of those with
diminish integrity and char-
acter. Like crows, they loiter
around us with intent to pro-
voke. Like the eagle, we can
choose to ignore them and
rise above the situation. Or
we can sit among them and
endure intimidation, insults
taunting and humiliation or
avenge the pain.
Isn't it fascinating that we
can learn from nature to soar


above the horizon. Isai
encourages us to soar
wings like eagles. Who
situation we may face,
can stay, walk through
walk away. The choice

Certain things needed
in next president
Editor:
No longer can we remain
in denial. A presidential elec-
tion campaign really is under
way, and, try as we might,
we cannot avoid, ignore or
dismiss it. As 2008 begins
the actual election year, the
time seems right for me to
put in my two cents on what
I'm looking for in a chief
executive. Here follows a
partial list.
I want a president who:
Will pardon Border Patrol
agents Ignacio Ramos and
Jose Compean. It also would
be a good idea to let drug
runners know that if they
cross our border with a load
of pot they will be shot,
rather than granted immunity
from prosecution. Believes in
God and that our inalienable
-rights to life, liberty'iand the
pursuit of happiness come
from "the Creator." Will pro-
claim loudly: "If your chil-
dren aren't learning, it's your
fault." (This would eliminate
candidates and that would be
most of them who believe
government is the answer to
education and everything
else.) Will explain, if possi-
ble, why the United Nations
j is worth saving, and why the
United States should contin-
ue to provide its principal
financial support. Will refute
the idea popular in Congress
that the national debt is no
problem as long as it is only
a small percentage of the
gross domestic product. Will
ask Sen. Harry Reid and Rep.
Nancy Pelosi as Spain's King
Juan Carlos asked
Venezuela's Hugo Chavez
"Porque no te calles?" ("Why
don't you shut up?") Won't
go six years before vetoing a
bad bill. Takes naps.
Recognizes that the War on
Terror is an actual war, not
an abstraction, as it is
30 regarded by the nation's uni-
versity faculties. Doesn't
er have to depend on speech
writers to render a graceful
or powerful phrase. Will
hammer home the point that
energy independence will
ns come from domestic oil pro-
duction rather than from
of recycled french fry grease.

'To suppress free speech

double wrong. It violates


"carbon footprint" by bowing
to China and other unre-
strained polluters. Now and
then likes a good, rare steak,
flanked by a baked potato
with sour cream, chives and
maybe even bacon bits. Has
read and understands the
Constitution, and takes seri-
ously his oath to protect it
and defend it. Will speak out
forcefully against govern-
mental assaults on religion,
particularly by the ignora-
muses who run the public
schools. Will say, "Porque no
te calles?" to activists who
equate "immigrants" with
"illegal aliens." Will veto
thought-crime (also known as
hate-crime) legislation. Will
appoint "originalists" to the
United States Supreme Court
- jurists who won't turn to
foreign law for guidance in
their decisions. Is anti-abor-
tion and pro-capital punish-
ment. Will let the world
know the United States will
defend the lives and interests
of Americans, anywhere on
Earth. Will not surrender
American sovereignty to any
super-national alliance or
other combination of govern-
ments. Will affirm the right
of parents to rescue their
children from the thought
control of public schools.
Won't kowtow to business
interests who think exploit-
ing illegal aliens is more
important than preserving
America's national identity.
Will tell Felipe Calderon,
"Porque no te calles?" when
the Mexican president com-
plains about America's
efforts to control its borders.
Won't use the power of the
federal government to intimi-
date or punish critics. (On
the other hand, if you want a
president with experience in
this regard, vote Clinton.)
Recognizes that an important


function of the presidency is
to serve as an example of
honor and virtue to
America's youth. Welcomes
legal immigrants and tells
them they should be proud of
their ethnic heritage as they
assimilate American lan-
guage, culture and values.
Likes to read history books.
Regardless of his views on
the war, will not abandon the
Iraqi people to terror and
chaos. Has a sense of humor
and a sense of the absurd,
both essential for life in the
capital city. Recognizes that
the honorific "Mister
President" doesn't mean
"your majesty." Is loyal to
allies but appoints the most-
qualified people to adminis-
tration jobs.
Doesn't try to speak with
phony regional accents.
Doesn't tell racist jokes
when "among friends."
Hasn't abused drugs in his
youth but always has pre-
ferred to see the world as it
is, not as it may be seen
through chemical filters.
Understands our children
will bear the consequences of
his policies. Recognizes the
compatibility of science and
religion. Will veto any envi-
ronmental treaty that puts the
United States at an economic
disadvantage in international
competition.
And that's just a start.
Happy New Year!

A Heart's
Journey
Janelle Dennison


Ready to plunge

into a new year

As you can see, my col-
umn has a new heading -
"A Heart's Journey" -
inspired by Larry Levey, one
of our freelance writers. He
said the title should have
something to do with the
heart since most of my sub-
jects have to do with heart
issues. Larry is full of wit,
charm and humor. The news-
paper is blessed to have him
on board. He offers a one-
day writing class periodical-
ly, which I intend to take as
soon as the next one comes
up. He's a very gifted writer
and I've grown to respect
and admire him very much.
The year 2008 is here and
2007 is gone, taking with it
all the joys and sorrows we
experienced. Seems like the
year dragged on and yet went
by fast at the same time.
Don't know how that hap-
pens?
The year 2007 was a
growing year for me ... an
awareness of lots of things
that was there all along
became more apparent this
year. Some good, some not.
But I'm the richer for what
I've learned about others and
myself. I've found that peo-
ple I didn't know cared, real-
ly do care and some who I
thought did, weren't quite as
caring as believed. So there's
been a lot of adjustments and
resettling going on. But
that's what life is about,
growing and changing. It's
been a challenge not to hold
grudges at times, to not
become bitter, but a lot of
prayer and realizing people
are human, people are hlirt-
ing'at times and say things
out of hlrt'etc., just as '
have ... I'm slowly learning
to "get over it" as my pastors
keep reminding us. If we
don't "get over it" we'll get
under it and life is too short
and challenging to stay under
stuff all the time.
So with that in mind I'm
ready to plunge into another
new year and see where I
come up at by the end of it.
A friend asked me the other
night what I was hoping for
in 2008...I said change.
There are many good
changes needed in my life ...
as there is in all of us.
Sometimes resources seem
hard to come by, but another
friend pointed out maybe it's
because I'm expecting God
to answer in one way when
He's planning on answering
in another way? So this year
I'm going to start looking for
that "other way."
So instead of making New
Year's resolutions, one could
just write a list of the
changes needed and work on
them "one at a time." One
could select the easier ones
first, which probably won't
take as long and work their
way up to the harder ones.
Seek help from friends and
loved ones or professionals,
depending on what is needed
and "get 'er done."
I know the first thing I'm
going to do is spring clean
my room and give stuff
away. Seems the older I get
the less I need. So if you
need more space, that may
be an option for you ... or a
garage sale if you're low on
money after the holidays?
What about that health
exam you've been putting
off? Dental work need to be
done? Why not get it done
within the first six months
and get it off your mind.


You'll feel better for it phys-
ically and feel better about
yourself.
Wishing you a Happy New
Year and loads of good
changes in your life. I guess
if I had a slogan for this year
it would be "Get it straight
in 2008" then you can really
celebrate!

LETTERS
Continued from 6A
Bush won the 2000 election. He obviously is
not familiar with the Electile Dysfunction
site, which believes that vote fraud by
Republicans is a continuing problem. Some
claim that George Bush only won in 2004
because of vote fraud in Ohio.
In 2000 the Bush campaign filed an elec-
tion suit, which is why the case is called
Bush vs. Gore. In any other circumstance,
conservative Republicans would term this is
a stupid lawsuit.
When the Florida Supreme Court took
charge of the vote counting, the Bush cam-
paign appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Stevens and
Souter dissented from the unsigned, anony-
mous decision issued by the Supreme Court.,
This is how we know that the decision was
5-to-4.
Justice Clarence Thomas' wife worked for
the Heritage Foundation and was on loan to
the Bush transition team. Justice Scalia had
two sons working for law firms hired by the
Bush campaign. Judges often disqualify
themselves for conflicts of interest that are
trivial compared to these. If Thomas and
Scalia had disqualified themselves the deci-
sion would have been four to three in favor
of letting the Florida Supreme Court handle
it.
In 2000 the U.S. Supreme Court essential-
ly ruled that the seven-member Florida


Supreme Court was incompetent to count
votes. Of the seven members of the FSC in
2000, five are still members of the court
today, having been retained by the voters. Of
the other two, one retired, being over 70, and
the other resigned. Not one member of the
Florida Supreme Court, 2000 edition, was
removed by the voters.
We would all be better off today if the
U.S. Supreme Court had decided to let vote
counting proceed in 2000.

Good people and good business
exist in Highlands County
Editor:
I got a thing through the mail for a draw-
ing and I got a $ 5 gift card for Wal-Mart.
But the main reason I went there was to talk
to a lady about a berry juice that comes from
Brazil Rain Forest, which has an ingredient
that is helpful to the body and she was very
good in explaining it all to me.
The Allstar Car & Truck is a family run
business and to me they are one excellent
place because they care and are not pushy. If
you ever need a car or truck, my advice is go
to them and they will treat you right.
Thanks to the lady for her information. I
wish you all the best in the New Year.

affected by a loss of hearing. Everyday conversation can seem grainy, less
focused and awkward as natural speech and sounds become
harder to comprehend. Delta is the innovative new hearing device
that helps you break out of the isolation to improve your scope of under-
standing, so you can converse more confidently and more
comfortably with others.
High-tech Artificial Intelligence automatically adjusts
settings to enhance the quality of speech

comfortably behind your ear
Choice of 17 attractive colors blend with skin or hair, or express
your own individual style

clarity. You can come out of your shell and participate in a whole new
world of people, places and opportunities.

VITAMIN
Continued from 2B
you what you need. Many people
(Christians too) don't think God cares
about the "little things" of life. "God
is not interested in my desire to quit
(fill in the blank)." Oh, but He is!
Matthew tells us that God has the
very hairs of our head numbered
(10:30). This is just another way of
saying that God is interested in every
facet of your life. When we are mak-
ing our "to do" list for 2008, it would
be a good idea to put "enhance my
prayer life", right near the top.
Live it out Most of us do fairly
well until this point. For example,
someone feels it is time to begin exer-
cising. So after making the decision
they may go out and purchase a piece
of equipment to help them in this new
endeavor for good health. They find
the appropriate place for it and it is
ready to go. The problem is one must
actually take the time and the effort to
get on the apparatus for it to do any


good.
For many,4 the Christian walk is
quite similar. We have the best inten-
tions; we just struggle carrying them
out. Could it be that we are trying to
do it all ourselves?
The apostle Paul had the answer to
this when he said, "I have been cruci-
fied with Christ; it is no longer I who
live, but Christ lives in me; and the
life that I now live in the flesh I live
by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me"
(Galatians 2:20). Paul accomplished
his goals by trusting in Jesus and not
in himself.
You know that every year you try to
change and yet it seems you always
come up short. God said you would
(Romans 3:23). But when you allow
Jesus to live in you and strengthen
you, God promises that you can do
"all things" (Phil. 4:13).

Verlon Carrell is the minister at Lake
Placid Church of Christ. He can be reached

53rd Harder Hall Women's Invitational


Walshe leads field with even-par 72 ,


Cold, windy conditions
make scoring difficult
By DAN HOEHNE
danielhoehne@newssun.com
SEBRING The annual
trip to south Florida for the
Harder Hall Women's
Invitational probably wasn't
quite as pictured Thursday,
as the 53rd edition of the
tournament teed off with
cold and blustery winds,
making it feel even more
frigid than the 30-some
degrees.
Bundled up against the ele-
ments, the field of 139, 95 in
the Championship flight, set
about claiming the top spot.
Defending champion Leah
Wigger did not return after
turning pro, leaving the field
wide open and plenty of
challengers vying for this
year's title.
"I live on the beach,"
Jessica Vincent, who plays
collegiatly at Coastal
Carolina, said. "This wasn't
what I was expecting, but
hopefully the wind will keep
my shots straighter."
Vincent's sister, Kristin,
who plays at Kentucky, was
also part of the field, one of a
few sister combinations.
Three of tennis great Ivan
Lendl's daughters were on
hand, Daniela, Isabelle and
Marika, Carlie and Jessica
Yadloczky of Casselbury
were also a family combo
along with Rebecca and
Sally Watson who made the
trek all the way from Fife,
Scotla:hd possibly feeling
right at home with the
inclement weather.
A mother-daughter duo
came to compete this year,
with Judy Lynn-Craig and
daughter Jordan Craig, of
Connellsville, PA making the
trip.
There is also a grandmoth-
er and granddaughter in the
field as Linda Marsh and
Sydney Crane came in from
Jamestown, NC.
Local players making
appearances in the
Championship division
include Jessica Williams and
Melissa Doorlag of Sebring
and Erin Fitzpatrick of
Wauchula.
Last year's runner up,
Candace Schepperle is in the
field, hoping to take the next

step to the title, as is Sally
Watson, who placed fourth
one year ago.
But taking the first-day
lead was Alison Walshe of
Westford, MA, a senior at
the University of Arizona
who shot an even-par 72
amid the tough conditions.
"It played very long and
you really had to take your
time with each shot," Walshe


said. "It took a lot of
patience."
It is Walshe's third time
playing in the tournament,
with respectable finishes
each of her first two times.
And while she has the early
lead, it will take some doing
to stay there as the weather
should be a factor at least
through today and a crowded
field right on her heels.
Tiffany Joh of San Diego
was just one shot back after
the first 18 holes with a 73,
while Taylore. Karle of
Scottsdale, AZ and Stacy
Lewis of The Woodlands, TX
were just two back with 74s.
Virginia Grimes of
Meridian, MS shot a 75 to
have her in the hunt and
there were a host of 76s com-
ing up right behind.
Marika Lendl, Alexandra
Bodemann of Palm City,
Kristen Simpson of Norfolk,
VA, and Schepperle carded
the four-over pars and Sally
Watson and Lauren Doughtie
each came in with 77s to
keep themselves within
striking distance for the final
three days.
The shot of the day came
from Eleana Collins of
Pinehurst, NC, who drained
her tee-shot on number 16
for a hole in one.
But as a testament to the


weather conditions, she still
ended up with an 81 on the
day.
Over in the Ben Roman
division of the tournament,
players came from far and
wide, including Nancy


Jankovic from Kingsville,
Ontario, who assuredly was
expecting to escape from the
northern cold, but had to
endure the winter-like condi-

A Few Words from
Mr. Ed
Ed Baldridge


Keep


smiling


coach


Now that I have had
almost a full year to watch
and to learn as a sports-
writer, I can tell anyone who
wishes to know that there is
one simple clear fact about
high school sports.
It's not easy being a
coach.
Those folks really deserve
a medal or something.
I don't care what they are
getting paid, it's not enough.
In a generation where kids
don't pay close attention
unless it beeps, high school
coaches wade into every bat-
tle with a smile on their face
and a frog in their throats.
Usually from talking
above the beeps.
I was fortunate enough to
have a good experience when
I was in high school.
I only played one sport,
football, and the coaching
staff back then was as good
as gold.
I got my hair ruffed at the
right time, and my... Well
let's just say I got "motivat-
ed" when I needed it.
Looking back, it seems I
might have grown up in
Mayberry or something,
especially compared to the
challenges kids face today.
Same high school, much,
much different choices.
Back then, sex was a mys-
tery; today its education.
Reading and writing was
not spelled FCAT, and arith-
metic did not involve cell-
phone minute calculations.
Since then, I have learned
that coaches have to assume
several roles in the lives of
those they mentor.

COACH
Continued from 1D
They have to be mother at
times and father, counselor,
teacher, preacher, and finally
general.
For they have to lead their
troops into battle, but still
keep it in perspective.
Win or lose, at the high
school level, academics must
come first.
Then there are the other
jobs that are needed to make
sure the organization runs
right and that the players get
to show up.
With current budget con-
siderations coaches today
have to play custodian, laun-
dry mat attendant, calendar
reminder, administrator, and
paperwork jockey.
Oh man, the paperwork is
a killer.
And since we live in a
smallish town, most coaches
have to be politicians.
Yep, this last year has
taught me for sure that they
are running for office no


matter what tools they are
given to work with.
Grin and glad hand boys
and girls, and maybe you can
come back next year.
Oh, and don't forget fund
raiser.
How do you think those
jerseys and shoes are paid
for, tax dollars?
HA! Have you seen the
price of sneakers these days?
And then, to top it all off,
most coaches teach regular
high school classes.
Whew, makes me tired just
writing about it.
Watching from the outside,
it is clear that those who
coach do more than their
share in helping the kids get
ahead in life.
Gives me shivers to just
think about the abuse they
take. I have seen them take
heat from fans, from parents,
from administrators, from the
media, and sometimes from
the kids themselves.
And most of them smile,
and nod, and still stay posi-
tive in the papers.


The good ones calmly state
their position, move on under
the burden, and keep to the
plan.
And then, there is that one
game.
Magic happens and it all
comes together.
It clicks, and the kids exe-
cute like pros. They pass,
run, kick or dribble; they
work the plan. You just
know they read the playbook
for sure.
By conscious effort or
divine intervention, every-
thing works.
We shoot, we score, and
we win!
And the crowd goes wild!
Well, wake up coach; you
must have fallen asleep in the
chair.
Take out the disk and turn
off the DVD player, it's time
to go back to work.
Sometimes you wonder if
that smile all coaches have is
because they enjoy the job,
or because they remember
playing themselves.
Keep smiling coach!

hole during the first round of the Harder Hall Women's
Invitational Thursday.


HARDER
Continued from 1D
tions.
Area entrants obviously
were making adjustments to
the weather as well, since
Gail Brown, Nela Hodge and
Nan Reno of Sebring, along
with Jacqueline Hartzell of
Lake Placid, were likely play-
ing recently in the 70-80
degree weather the area had
been enjoying.
The first-round scores of
the Ben Roman division,
however, were not available
at press time.
Totals through at least the
second round will be avail-
able in the Sunday, Jan. 6 edi-
tion of the News-Sun.
'It played really

long and you had
to take your time
with each shot.'
ALISON WALSHE
First-round leader
