Brawl with

off-duty AP

cop sparks

controversy
Different stories from
each side of fight that
saw five taken to jail
By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy(@ newssun .comn
AVON PARK The new
year started with more than a
bang for an Avon Park family,
as they tangled with an off-
duty Avon Park police officer
in a brawl that landed five
people in jail early on New
Year's Day.
Sue Diaz, 44, Avon Park,
who was arrested for battery
on a law enforcement officer
and resisting arrest, stands 5
feet 3 inches tall and has her
own story to tell.
"The evening started good,
the party was taking place at
Angie Sanchez's house,"
Diaz said about the Dec. 31
party at 900 W. State Street in
Avon Park, just two houses
away from the Diaz resi-
dence.
Sanchez is an Avon Park
police officer.
A dispute between Sanchez
and live-in boyfriend Richard
Mendez, 47, Avon Park,
ended the peaceful evening,
Diaz said.
"Angie had too much to
drink and brought up her
past," she said.
The dispute started with
Sanchez and Mendez, but
eventually involved Diaz's
daughter, Erica Diaz, and
Sanchez, Diaz said.

Conflicting statements
Shortly before 2:45 a.m.
off duty officers James Parker
and David Sass stopped by
Sanchez's home on their way
back from a family function
at Disney World, according to
APPD acting Chief Michael
J. Rowan.
This begins many contra-
dicting statements between
what officers said happened
and Diaz's recollection of the
night.
"For them to say they were
not at the party, that's not
true. That's just not true," Sue
Diaz said.
"They were not at the
party, and they were not
drinking," Rowan said.
"(Parker) had stopped in
while he was passing
through; he was not there a
couple of minutes when this
had taken place."
Rowan and Sue Diaz both
confirm there was a dispute
in front of the Diaz home at
904 W. State Street.
Diaz said she was keeping
her daughter from leaving the

Board OKs Lake Denton diver

fees, but won't charge boaters


Woman contacts county
about land her parents
dedicated for public access
By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.com
AVON PARK Finding a weekend
baby-sitter for the Lake Denton boat ramp
may be an impediment to re-opening the
public facility.
The commissioners approved several
proposals presented Wednesday by a com-
mittee tasked with finding a long-term
solution to restore safety at the boat launch


that is more popular with divers and swim-
mers than boaters.
"Mr. Chairman, I can assure you that
every issue raised today has been discussed
by the committee," said commissioner Don
Bates to Chairman Edgar Stokes. "If we
pass this motion today, we keep the ball
rolling."
Bates is the non-voting chairman of the
Lake Denton Boat Ramp Committee
Of the various measures discussed -
$25 fee per diver per day, eight more park-
ing spaces, gated access, hours of operation
and a weekend attendant collecting $25
See DENTON, page 6A

The unsafe mix of boaters and divers at the popular Lake
Denton boat ramp prompted Highlands County commissioners
to temporarily cease access from this point off of Lake Denton
Drive until a special committee could come up with a solution
that would protect homeowners in the area without alienating
the lake's users who come from as far as Orlando.


Mahoney learned a lot in first year in Congress


Tim Mahoney


By MATT MURPHY
matt.murphy@newssun.com
* Part one of a three-part interview
SEBRING As a freshman
Representative with no previous experi-
ence in elective office, Congressman Tim
Mahoney (D-Palm Beach Gardens) has
received a crash course in the ways of
Washington.
Mahoney won the office in 2007 by a
narrow 1 percent margin, thanks in part
to the firestorm of controversy regarding
the abrupt resignation of Mark Foley. In


his first year in office, he has worked on
several bills in the House, including the
recently passed Energy Independence
and Security Act, which calls for produc-
tion of 100 million gallons of cellulosic
ethanol that will be produced in Florida.
Mahoney spoke to the News-Sun via
telephone on Friday, and the discussion
addressed a wide range of topics.
In part one, which appears here,
Mahoney discussed his first term in
office.
Parts two and three of the interview


will focus on Mahoney's goals for
Congress in 2008, specific issues such as
the war on Iraq, illegal immigration and
health care, and they will be featured
next week in the News-Sun.
Q: How would you characterize
your first year in office?
A: "I'm a businessperson, so I take a
look at tangible results and I think
they're pretty good. I would say, based
on what I've been able to highlight and

Shriners on a mission to serve more children at hospitals


By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.comn
AVON PARK Harry Lister,
past president and current hospital
coordinator ambassador for the
Egypt Shriners, is a man on a mis-
sion. He wants parents to know that
the Shriners have a network of hos-
pitals throughout the United States
that provide specialized care for
patients under the age of 18, at no
cost to their families.
"We do more than wear funny hats
and ride in miniature cars," Lister
said.
In fact, several times in the course
of an interview, Lister had to stop
and collect himself, overcome with
emotion.
The Shriners are all about service


to their community, he said. It is a
higher order in the Masonry
Organization. A man has to be a
Master Mason in order to join the
Shriners.
Following World War I, the
Shriners membership began to look
for an official charity to support. It
was decided to establish a hospital
to provide free care for children with
orthopedic problems. Their first
facility opened in Shreveport, La., in
1922.
Today the Shriners operate 22
hospitals, 20 of them in the United
States. Some specialize in burn
treatments, some orthopedic care,
and some provide rehabilitation for
spinal cord injuries.


t Shriners

Hospitals




In 2005 a program aimed at help-
ing children with clef lips or palate
began. Repair work, including den-
tal work, speech and psychological
services are available.
Shriners burn centers are famous
for their excellence, Lister said.
Cutting edge research is being con"
ducted in many of their centers,


eight of which have been nationally
recognized.
The Shriners not only provide free
care for young patients who are
admitted into the hospital centers for
treatment, they also pay for all trans-
portation costs. Admission is based
on need for treatment, not financial
situation.
Lister said the Shriners take pride
in funding these hospitals without
government aid or insurance reim-
bursements. They do this to maintain
complete control over their care
which they provide primarily
through the Shriners Hospitals for
Children Endowment Fund, main-
tained through gifts, bequests and
contributions. Individual Shriners


pay an assessment every year, and
fundraisers are held.
But, while clearly devoted to his
fraternal organization, Lister isn't
particularly interested in publicizing
the Shriners as a club.
What he wants people to know
about is the medical resource the
Shriners provide. "It used to be more
of a secret," he said. "But now we
want parents to be aware of the help
we can provide."
He urges families to check into
treatment possibilities.
There is a Shriners Hospital for
children in Tampa. Its telephone
number is (813) 972-2250. For gen-
eral information regarding patient
referrals call (800)237-5055.


Committee created for

administrator search


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.com
SEBRING Any remain-
ing confusion about the rela-
tionship between an executive
search committee and a head
hunter; to replace County
Administrator Carl Cool
should be settled soon.
The commissioners desig-
nated their 16-person panel at
Wednesday's meeting (held a
day later due to the New Year
holiday).
"I'm not sure, totally, what
role you want the consultant
to have," John Minor,
Highlands County director of
human resources told the
board.
He wasn't the only one.
Commissioner Don Bates
pointed out they had appoint-
ed the committee, designated
Commission Chairman Edgar
Stokes as liaison, would meet
with them on Wednesday but
not provide direction, then
have the committee meet the
search consultant and, finally,
have consultant Colin
Baezinger report back to the
commissioners so they can
decide how to utilize the


search committee.
"I find that a little bit awk-
ward," Bates said. "I'm a lit-
tle surprised at this point.
We're appointing a committee
with:"t5 'ilng 'Vh4' W

After sparring for a -pell
about dates and the timeline
of who should meet when,
Stokes ended the discussion
by suggesting he get together
with Minor.
"It just seems we're having
trouble setting dates today,"
he said.
Baezinger will brief the
board Tuesday, then confer
with the committee at 6 p.m.
Jan. 10 in Conference Room
No. 2 at the Agri-Civic Center
on George Boulevard.
"We have a time schedule
of where different things
should be in place," Stokes
said. "We're on time. That's
why I wanted to get that com-
mittee in place last week."
The search committee is
made up of a variety of cur-
rent and former chief execu-
tives from a variety of indus-
tries from car sales to educa-
tion.

For example, did you know that the cremated remains
can be buried, scattered or memorialized in a niche or
mausoleum? Prior to or following the cremation, families
can choose to have a service or gathering. In fact, we
encourage it. For many families, the service is the first
step toward moving ahead after a loss. Call or mail

Veterans' News


'Why We Serve' speakers program to bring veteran of War on Terrorism to Lake Placid


Special to the News-Sun
LAKE PLACID On Tuesday,
Jan. 15, Petty Officer First Emily
Klinefelter, a recent veteran of the
Global War on Terrorism and proud
ambassador of the Pentagon's "Why
We Serve" speakers program, will be
speaking to members of Veterans
Council of Highlands County Inc. at
the American Legion in Lake Placid.
In October 2007, Klinefelter
returned from a 10-month deploy-
ment to Iraq, after volunteering for
an Individual Augmentation deploy-
ment. Upon arrival, Klinefelter was
assigned to Transportation Battalion
Seven, Camp Adder in Talil, Iraq.
In February 2007, her battalion
supported Operation Safe Haven,


providing long haul escort and secu-
rity to supply convoys with armed
gun trucks.
Klinefelter is currently stationed
at the Navy Information Operations
Command, Whidbey Island, where
she serves as the Command and
Control Nodal Analyst.
Klinefelter embodies the Navy
core values of honor, courage, and
commitment and that demonstrates a
high degree pride and professional-
ism in her service and herself.
The Defense Department launched
the "Why We Serve" in 2006 in an
effort to help the American people
understand why U.S. service mem-
bers choose to serve their country
and what that experience entails. P


roudly, this program continues
today as the DoD's premier speakers
outreach program with the service
men and women traveling around the
country to engage the American pub-
lic and share their experiences.
Service members representing the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine
Corps, are traveling the country
sharing their experiences and moti-
vations for serving with groups
ranging from chambers of commerce
to Rotary clubs, to grassroots organ-
izations, conferences, schools and
media outlets.
Allison Barber, deputy assistant
secretary of defense for public
affairs, explained that the program
has one simple goal: to help connect


returning military members with the
general public and give them an
opportunity to tell their personal sto-
ries.
The goal is that they will go out
on the road to different venues
nationwide to tell their story," she
said. "Why did they choose to serve
the military? What did they do in
Iraq or Afghanistan? And why are
they are serving our country?"
The program has no political
agenda, she emphasized. It's not
designed to sway public opinion
about the war on terror, but rather is
simply to give people insight into
their men and women in uniform.
Community organizations, busi-
ness associations, academic institu-


tions, veterans groups, and other
non-profit or non-partisan organiza-
tions may invite a speaker from Why
We Serve program by submitting a
request via www.whyweserve.mil.
Visit this Web site to learn more
about the program, current speakers,
and their stories.
Confirmed speakers are provided
at no cost to the host organization,
regardless of location, throughout
the country.

We Serve program or to request a

American Legion 69 brings comfort


to ill children with Josh Puppies


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK The Avon Park American
Legion Unit 69 Children and Youth chairman
Darlene Watkin is excited about having Josh
Puppies for area hospitalized children.
"This fabulous Legion program got a real
shot in the arm when our new president,
Nancy Galida, and her family decided Josh
would make a perfect symbol of comfort and
love to be given to hospitalized children in
honor of her son Todd, who after six long and
painful years of fighting cancer lost the battle
at age 21," Watkin said.
"She knows first hand how much comfort


would come from this furry, little cuddily
friend to children who are lonely and scared in
the hospital, and the comfort to the family as
well knowing someone is always at their side
through the hard times of hospitalization."
In memory of Todd and as a tribute to his
brave battle, the Galida family has made a
$1,000 donation that they hope to see become
an annual event in Todd's name for children in
need of love and comfort in the imbodiment of
Josh.
To learn more about the Josh program, call
Watkin at 314-9107,


Scholars suggest putting museum


at Virginia Army base to be closed


Associated Press
HAMPTON, Va. --
Scholars want to turn the
heart of Fort Monroe into a
museum about the U.S. mili-
tary, the Confederacy and the
end of slavery.
A group of professors,
curators, archivists and a uni-
versity president has been in
Hampton discussing what to
do with the fort when the
Army departs in 2011.
The base is being closed to
save money, leaving local,
state and federal officials to
figure out how to use the 570-
acre property. The scholars
favor putting a museum inside
the base's 63-acre stone fort.
Symposium participants
included Edward L. Ayers,
president of the University of
Richmond and an American
history scholar; Robert
Francis Engs, a history pro-
fessor at the University of


Pennsylvania; and Laranett
Lee, founding curator of
African-American history at
the Virginia Historical
Society.
The meeting was sponsored
by the Fort Monroe Federal
Area Development Authority,
which is overseeing the post's
transfer from Army control.
Engs was to present the rec-
ommendations to the authori-
ty on Friday.
Engs said most Americans
don't realize that slaves
helped free themselves, and
that events at Fort Monroe set
the stage for President
Abraham Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation
in 1863.
Soon after the Civil War
begin, Maj. Gen. Benjamin
Butler declared that escaped
slaves were "contraband of
war" and did not have to be
returned to their owners. That


brought waves of slaves to the
fort seeking freedom and pro-
tection.
"The importance of that is
to show African-Americans
were active in their own
emancipation," Engs said, "It
wasn't just given to them."
Because the fort remained
under Union control,
Hampton became a fertile
ground for missionaries who
helped freed slaves begin new
lives. The area also has a rich
history of involvement in the
Underground Railroad.
"The way Civil War history
has been taught in Virginia is
to focus on the Confederate
experience," said Ervin
Jordan, archivist at the
University of Virginia.
"This is one of the few
places in Virginia where the
Union aspect and the African-
American aspect come into
play," Jordan said.


LAKE PLACID If you're like
most homebuyers, you have
two primary considerations in
mind when you start looking
for a home. First, you want to
find the home that perfectly
meets your needs and desires,
and secondly, you want to
purchase this home for the
lowest possible price.
When you analyze those
successful home buyers
who have the experience
to purchase the home they
want for thousands of dollars
below a seller's asking price,
some common denominators


emerge. Negotiating skills are
important, but there are three
additional key factors that must
come into play long before you
ever submit an offer.
This topic has been the
subject of extensive analysis
by industry experts, and a
summary of their findings, and
a specific step-by-step purchase
plan for homebuyers, can be

Save Thousands of Dollars
When You Buy",
This FREE report outlines
the psychology of how a


seller sets their asking price,

you want.

MAHONEY
Continued from 1A
bring back to the district, we did quite
well.
"We were able to deliver millions in
funding to the district, and we appro-
priated $50 million this year for various
projects. A lot of people want to call
those pork projects, but the kinds of
things funded, like road widening for
hurricane evaluation in Highlands
County and funding for protecting the
citrus industry, were important."
Q: What legislative accomplish-
ment of your first year in office are
you most proud of?
A: "The number one issue in Florida
is the cost of homeowners insurance,
and the governor and the Republican-
led state legislature has been unable to
solve the problem. So we passed the
Homeowners' Defense Act of 2007
(which creates a national catastrophe
program). No one gave us any hope of
getting it passed, but we did it in a
bipartisan way.
MCT "It's historic, and it returns the
One donation of blood can save industry to the marketplace without
up to three lives, having American taxpayers digging


into their pockets. Right now in a major
disaster everybody writes a check and
nobody gets paid back. Our program
will lower rates and insurance compa-
nies will come back into the market.
"It's in the Senate now, and I'm
excited because with Hillary Clinton
(D-N.Y.) co-sponsoring, that makes it a
presidential issue."
Q: What's your biggest regret of
your first year in office?
A: "The biggest tragedy happened in
the last few weeks of the session, and
that was the treatment of the alternative
minimum tax (AMT). It's an archaic
provision of tax law that would have
meant 23 million Americans were stuck
with a major tax increase. Every year,
Congress has decided not to enact it,
and every year when they do that they
have to borrow money to pay for it.
"At the end of the session, the House
sent the Senate a bill eliminating the
tax increase, and Senate Republicans
filibustered. They said the only thing
they'd support is an AMT fix where we
had to borrow the money. This is what's
wrong with Washington. This is parti-
san politics, and they just wanted to
have a campaign issue. So congratula-


tions to the Republicans, they won on a
campaign issue. But the American peo-
ple lost because their children and
grandchildren will have to pay back
$50 billion with interest. The move was
totally political, totally unnecessary,
and this is the kind of activity people
are fed up with. My goal next year is to
figure out how to get that $50 billion
back."
Q: What were your initial impres-
sions of Washington, and how have
they changed?
A: "Going in, I wasn't sure one per-
son could make a difference. But I'm
more excited today because I know that
they can.
"I went there to change the culture.
People elected me because they knew I
was a successful, independent busi-
nessman who would go and do what's
right, and I've been able to do that.
"I'm savvy and battle-tested now,
and I've also been extremely effective
at keeping money in the district with
major things like the water bill, home-
owners insurance and property tax
relief. These are the kinds of things that
give me hope."


DENTON
Continued from 1A
per boat was most controver-
sial.
In the end, the board nixed
the boat launch fee, set daily
hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
approved the diver fee, park-
ing spaces, gate and attendant.
Dive instructors, who typi-
cally supervise up to 10 stu-
dents at a time, will be
allowed free access.
"This is a very short-term
attempt to get to the long-term
solution," Denton committee
member Jack Richie said,
acknowledging a permanent
fix wouldn't happen soon.
"There're problems that we
don't even see yet."
For example, after the com-
missioners approved the sug-
gestions that pave the way for
a mid-March re-opening of
the launch they closed in
August, Nancy Cain-
Anderson called Vicki
Pontius, director, Parks and
Recreation.


"She called me up
Wednesday ... and asked if I
was looking for her," Pontius
said. "I think she was pursu-
ing something she read in the
... newspaper."
Anderson is the daughter of
the couple who dedicated
Lake Denton Drive to the
county 53 years ago.
According to the surveyor's
certificate and dedication
document, the boat ramp was
platted as a part of Lake
Denton Drive and its use con-
tingent upon public access.
"... such streets or roads
shall revert unto its owners or
successors in the event such
streets or roads are vacated,
abandoned or otherwise cease
to be used as public thorough-
fares ..." the document states
in part.
Pontius' conversation with
Anderson was brief, the latter
never mentioning an intent to
reclaim the land.
As far as the county is con-
cerned, it is moving forward
with the approved provisions.
"We'll deal, with it if the


county is served with any-
thing," Pontius said of
Anderson and the 1954 land
dedication. "It was never the
intent of the board to close off
that property to the public."
In August and again
Wednesday, the commission-
ers stressed the closing was
temporary to prevent a
mishap until adequate safety
measures could be imple-
mented.
County spokeswoman
Gloria Rybinski said the
revert clause doesn't even
apply to the current situation.
"Some way, some how, that
got out into the Lake Denton
meetings," she said, explain-
ing the plat map and docu-
ments associated with Lake
Denton were requested in an
open records request about six
months ago.
Several copies were distrib-
uted, she said, and its exis-
tence wasn't a surprise or a
secret.
Pontius said Anderson
came to the county and that,
despite reports otherwise, the


county was never looking for
the owners of the land.
In the coming weeks, coun-
ty staff will replace the Jersey
barriers at the boat ramp with
fencing and a gate.
Finding somebody to moni-
tor the facility might not be as
tough as she first thought,
Pontius said Friday, because
of a contract with Sunshine
Staffing for temporary per-
sonnel.
In addition to working
eight-hour shifts Saturdays
and Sundays, the employee
would open and secure the
gate during the week, when
access is free.
The board was criticized
for closing the ramp at 4 p.m.
in the summer, when use
would likely peak. Dive
instructor T.J. Phalen of Fear
Not Scuba in Sebring object-
ed to the fee and suggested it
may preclude lower- and mid-
dle-income families from div-
ing there.
The Lake Denton commit-
tee's recommendations don't
apply to swimmers because


swimming is prohibited there
and at all county boat ramps.
The only Department of
Environmental Protection-
permitted county swimming
area is at Lake June's H.L.


Bishop Park.
A long-term solution,
Pontius said, might include
purchasing land adjacent to
the Denton launch and creat-
ing another public park.

BRAWL
Continued from 1A
party drunk. APPD reports contra-
dict this statement and said it was
between Diaz's daughter and her
brother, 19-year-old Michael Diaz,
19.
Reports state Parker, after arriving
at the Sanchez home, heard the
domestic dispute and tried to quell
the situation.
Parker, who was not in uniform,
approached Michael Diaz and told
him he was a police officer and to
calm down, APPD reports state.
Parker told fellow APPD officer
Christy Harbaugh a verbal argument
between the two escalated into a
physical altercation, her report said.
Diaz's recollection of the events
differ greatly.
"He never stated he was a police
officer until the cops got there," she
said about Parker.
Sue Diaz alleged Michael was
inside their home because he has a
10 p.m. curfew, and was only outside
because Parker attacked her.
Diaz said Parker was at the party
and was involving himself in the


argument between Sanchez and
Erica Diaz. When Parker came over
to the residence, Sue Diaz said she
tried to keep him from her daughter.
"I must have touched or pushed
him or something; I blocked him. He
was not getting to my daughter," Sue
Diaz recalled. "He threw me to the
ground."
A report by Harbaugh says Parker
claims both Sue Diaz and her hus-
band, Pete Diaz, 44, punched him
when he was in the altercation with
their son.
"My family reacted just how
every normal family would react,"
Sue Diaz said. "My family just
wanted to get him off of me."
Both Michael and Pete Diaz were
arrested for battery on a law enforce-
ment officer, something Sue Diaz
said was in her defense.
"My neighbor saw him grab me
from the neck, and (he) was punch-
ing me on my ribs," she said about
the scuffle between herself and
Parker. "My husband saw I was on
the ground, so he pushed (Parker)
off. They didn't even know who they
were pushing off."
Diaz claims she is in pain and has
trouble keeping food down due to


injuries she suffered during the inci-
dent.
According to Parker, Michael
Davis, 24, of Lehigh Acres, also
entered the conflict and struck him, a
report said.
Officers Harbaugh, Michael
Crenshaw, Nathan Coogan and Sgt.
Marc Wilbur arrived at 2:45 a.m. in
response to a battery call made by
Parker after he freed himself from
the scuffle, Rowan said.
When the officers arrived they
saw 30 to 50 people, some engaged
in mutual combat, Wilbur's report
said.
Sass told Crenshaw that Michael
Diaz assaulted Parker, who had
swelling and bleeding coming from
his forehead, Crenshaw's report
said.
When Crenshaw tried to arrest
Michael Diaz, he allegedly pushed
the officer and ran, forcing
Crenshaw to deploy his Taser.
After being Tased, Diaz complied
and was taken into custody, the
report said.
Mendez approached the officers,
but was allegedly ordered to return
to his home because he was not
involved in the argument.


He continued walking toward
Harbaugh and pushed her in the
chest, her report stated.
Harbaugh tried taking Mendez
into custody, but he allegedly resis-
ted until Wilbur and Crenshaw were
able to assist in the arrest.

Investigation under way
Due to the allegations from Sue
Diaz, Rowan said he will look into
the incident, but has not taken disci-
plinary action yet.
"I'm not going to jump the gun
and make a wrong decision, I will
take my time and take action when I
have all the facts," he said when
asked if any suspensions were made.
Rowan said Parker, who has been
with the department for 18 months,
has not been disciplined while with
the APPD that he knows of.
"There has been some concerns
brought to my attention from the cit-
izens of the area," he said. "I am
going to make sure we maintained
the highest level of professionalism
at all times there."
Sue and Pete Diaz had been drink-
ing that night, Rowan said.
"They asked us if we were drink-


ing," Sue Diaz said. "I have no rea-
son to lie."
Sue Diaz was charged with two
counts of battery on a law enforce-
ment officer and resisting arrest with
violence. She was out on $3,000
bond.
Michael Diaz was charged with
two counts of battery on a law
enforcement officer and resisting
arrest with violence. He was being
held without bond.
Pete Diaz was charged with two
counts of battery on a law enforce-
ment officer and resisting arrest with
violence. He was out on $3,000
bond.
Michael Davis was charged with
battery on a law enforcement officer
and was out on $1,000 bond.
Richard Mendez was charged with
battery on a law enforcement officer
and resisting arrest with violence.
Officers said while being trans-
ported to the Highlands County jail,
Mendez threatened to kill his arrest-
ing officer, tacking on the additional
charge of corruption by threat
against a public servant. He was out
on $3,000 bond.

Two arrested for animal cruelty


By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy@fnewssun.comn
AVON PARK One dead
dog and two others with seri-
ous malnutrition sent a couple
to jail for felony animal cruel-
ty charges.
In a case dating back to the
hot summer month of July,
Nathanel Littles, 31, and
Peruisa Mack, 30, both of
Avon Park, allegedly deprived
the three dogs of necessary
shelter, food and water, caus-
ing the death of a pit bull.
The dead animal had a
metal chain tightly wrapped
around its neck, the report
said, and no food or water


Littles


was found anywhere near any
of the animals in the home on
Winegard Avenue.
A mixed breed dog was
found near a makeshift dog-
house with a plastic wire
wound tightly around its
neck. The wire could only be
removed if cut off, which was
done by Animal Control offi-


cers, the report said.
The third dog was a
Dalmatian that allegedly had
an injury to its head.
Animal Control supervisor
Darel Scott said based on his
training and experience it
appeared the dogs were mal-
nourished and had been tied
up for a great deal of time.
Littles and Mack were the
only adults living at the
address, and both were
charged with three counts of
felony animal cruelty.
They were booked into the
Highlands County Jail on
Wednesday and released on
$3,000 bond each.

SFCC dental clinic gets new oral cancer screening tool


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK Through a dona-
tion from the Highlands County
Dental Association. South Florida
Community College's Dental
Education program has purchased a
new oral cancer screening tool for
use in its Dental Clinic.
Slightly larger than a laptop com-
puter, the VELscope's hand-held
light piece emits a blue fluorescent
light into a patient's mouth, which
makes abnormal tissue easier to
detect during routine screenings for
oral cancer. Normal tissue appears
as a nearly solid bright green, but
suspicious and possibly cancerous
tissue is patchy and black in color.
The examination is painless and
completely safe, although patients
wear protective glasses for their
comfort.
Dr. Deborah Milliken, SFCC pro-


fessor of dental hygiene, empha-
sized that all dental hygienists and
dentists learn to recognize the types
of lesions, discolored tissue, and
ulcerations that can be signs of oral
cancer. The VELscope is not meant
to replace traditional visual exami-
nations, but it is a useful tool in
helping dental hygienists and den-
tists detect possible oral cancer, par-
ticularly in cases where abnormali-
ties appear to be minor when viewed
with the naked eye alone.
Whenever suspicious tissue is
observed, Milliken said, patients are
referred to other doctors for biop-
sies, which determine whether the
tissue is actually cancerous.
"Nothing is simpler for a dental
hygienist or dentist to learn and
use," Milliken said of the
VELscope."You just plug it in and


point the light where you want it."
Although the VELscope is not
considered a standard tool in most
dentist offices, more dentists are
beginning to use it, Milliken said,
which means SFCC's dental hygiene
students gain an edge by becoming
familiar with this equipment as they
prepare to begin their careers.
Additionally, SFCC's dental assist-
ing students will be introduced to
the equipment and learn how to set
it up, assist a dentist who is using it,
clean it, and maintain it, said Bob
Sconyers, SFCC dental assisting
instructor.
The SFCC Dental Education pro-
gram purchased the VELscope after
receiving a $2,500 donation from
the Highlands County Dental
Association in memory of one of its
past presidents, Dr. Donald Transue.

One good way to save more money is to simply spend less


We all know we should set aside money for a
rainy day, a house down payment or retirement,
but there are always a million reasons why we
can't. If this sounds familiar, remember this: To
get ahead, you either need to earn more income
or spend less or a little of both.
You could always ask your boss for a raise or
take a second job, but here are a few suggestions
for tackling the problem from the spending side.
Brew your own. If you spend $3 a day on
coffee, that's about $1,000 a year. Instead of
going out to get coffee, buy a good coffee
maker, a thermos and your own premium coffee
beans. The same goes for bottled water: Plastic
bottles are bad for the environment and you're
usually just paying for filtered tap water. Buy
portable water filters for home and work -
you'll pay pennies a day versus dollars.
Kick bad habits. Smoking one $5 pack of
cigarettes a day costs over $1,825 a year, not to
mention potentially thousands in additional
medical and lost-work costs. Add $10 a week in
lottery tickets and that's another $520 a year. By
investing that same money at an 8 percent annu-


al rate of return, you'll have
more than $37,000 after 10
years.
Brown bag it. Sometimes
going out to lunch is the only
way to escape work. But at
$7 a pop five times a week,
you'll burn through $1,600 a
year. Try making an extra
Personal portion at dinner and brown-
Personal bagging it the next day. Then
Finance take a walk with friends dur-
Jason Alderman ing lunch hour you may
even drop a few pounds.
Consolidate your errands; or better yet,
walk or ride a bike. Cutting out two gallons of
$3 gas a week saves $300 a year. And trade in
your gas guzzler for even larger savings.
Go green. By switching to energy-efficient
light bulbs and appliances, insulating your house
and lowering the thermostat, among other
things, you can save big bucks and save the
environment. Go to www.energystar.gov for
more information.


Switch to lower-interest and no-annual-fee
credit cards. And, before you sign up for a card
that offers rebates on purchases, be sure you
have the discipline to pay off your bill each
month; otherwise you'll negate any savings.
Shop around for no-fee checking accounts.
A $5 a month service charge can wipe out any
interest you might earn, unless you carry a high
balance.
And while you're at it, don't settle for a sav-
ings account with 1 percent interest or less when
many institutions offer 5 percent or more.
Compare rates at www.bankrate.com.
Overall, the best thing you can do is make a
budget and stick to it. Track exactly what you're
spending each month down to the last penny and
look for places to trim. Many budgeting tools
are available.
For very little discomfort, these simple tips
can save you thousands of dollars a year. That
beats working a second job, doesn't it?

Big decisions ahead

Major hiring decisions will be made this year.
The county will hire a new administrator. Avon
Park will hire a new city manager and a new police
chief. We will hire a new president, and revisit coun-
ty commission seats and the sheriff's office among
several elections.
The people we delegate with authority in 2008 have
tremendous challenges to face. They will have to find
solutions for issues that cannot be solved by decree or
easily. There will be a need for action if we are to
solve problems, and our voluntary support for change,
however difficult, will be necessary if we are to suc-
ceed.
So we need to be careful and thoughtful when mak-
ing our choices, whether we're alone in the voting
booth, or on a selection committee.
We urge the Avon Park city council, for example, to
consider the path the county commission is blazing in
its search for a new county government leader.
The combination of a professional executive
recruiter with a non-partisan citizen's committee
combines practical experience with in-depth local
knowledge.
The commission is determined to find a county
administrator who is a good fit in the community, as
well as accomplished and capable.
We feel this approach the professional head
hunter putting out the call and screening the appli-
cants, then handing the committee a short list of 10 or
12 individuals it could interview and select from -
has great promise.
At its first meeting in 2008, Avon Park city council
members were unsure as to how to proceed in filling
the city's two crucial openings.
At one point council member Brenda Gray spoke
about the council doing the work.
Gerald Buhr, Avon Park's attorney, mentioned the
International City Managers Association and its
Range Riders service at the meeting.
The Range Riders is a division of the association
and was founded in 1974. According to its Web site,
it provides its services free of charge. Retired city
- managers volunteer as recruitment advisors creating
job descriptions, evaluating salary and benefit pack-
ages, and screening applications.
We recommend approaching the Range Riders for
assistance and then forming a citizen's committee,
perhaps including a city council representative, to do
the interviewing of the candidates and recommending
the final selection.
In the meantime we encourage readers to speak up.
Now is the time for thinking and discussion.
What issues do you feel need the most attention?
What goals would you set for new administrators?
What do you expect from a police chief or a sheriff?
In short what is it we want?

Bush continues to deny
global warming
Editor:
Our fearless leader, the
"Great Flip-Flopper," has
done it again. This time on
Global Warming. For years
Bush has denied the fact that
this, the greatest environmen-
tal threat of all time, is actu-
ally happening. Now after
years of claiming it's just a
big hoax, as does a local pro-
lific letter writer who, unable
to think for himself, blindly
parrots his Washington
Republican masters as he too
bows to the powerful oil
companies.
The United States flipped,
first rejecting and then
accepting a compromise to
reduce carbon dioxide emis-
sions worldwide at the
United Nations Climate
Change conference, with rep-
resentatives of more than 180
countries, in Bali. This hap-
pened after a delegate from
the small country of Papua
New Guinea challenged the
United States to "either lead,
follow or get out of the way."
In other words "either put up
or shut up."
Now that Bush has moved
a little, few people believe
that it's for real. As Irwandi
Yusuf, the governor of
Indonesia's Aceh Province,
bluntly said,"We don't
believe the Americans in this
administration."
Bush trashed the Kyoto
treaty in 2001 without pre-
senting any alternative for
six years. His message to the
world:"We only care about
ourselves."
According to the National
Snow and Ice Data Center at
the University of Colorado,
frozen sea ice within the
Arctic Circle this summer
dropped to its lowest levels
since satellite measurements
began in 1979 and could dis-
appear entirely during sum-
mers by 2040.
From the April, 2005
Scientific American:
"Antarctic Survey Shows


Widespread Glacial
Retreat,""Scientists with the
British Antarctic Survey ana-
lyzed data collected from
studies of 244 marine gla-
ciers on the Antarctic
Peninsula over the past 50
years. More than 2,000 aerial
photos and 1,000 satellite
images helped the
researchers reconstruct the
behavior of glacier-ice
shelves and tidewater gla-
ciers. They found that 87 per-
cent of the glaciers have
retreated over the study peri-
od by about 600 meters
(1,800 ft.), on average. Over
the same time period the
atmospheric temperatures in
the region increased by 2.5
degrees Celsius".
The above study is almost
three years old. Can you
imagine how much damage
has been done in those three
years because of indifference
to the problem by this admin-
istration?
For his work to raise
awareness of Global Climate
Change Al Gore was awarded
the Nobel Peace Price for
2007.
What should Bush get for
denying the fact of Global
Warming?

Barking dogs there
before unkind
neighbors were
Editor:
I'm writing in response to
something that happened this
week in Highlands County.
My family has lived in
Sebring for more than 80
years.
Last night my step-dad,
who has lived on the family
property for 68 years, was
told by a Highlands County
deputy that his hunting dogs
(which he has owned and had
his entire life) were barking
and bothering the neighbors.
He has lived there 68 years;
the people complaining
moved there when?
The dogs were there before


they moved there.
He had to load all but one
of the hunting dogs up and
take them to the Humane
Society.
It is so sad that he has to
get rid of his dogs that has
been with him for years and
that he and my mom are
being told there are dogs
barking too much, when they
lived there first. The dogs
only barked when another
dog or someone walked too
close to their pins. On the
back of the property.
My family put in more
than 50 years with the city of
Sebring and the county.

Media controlled by

Editor:
I wrote the above article
before the Page 1, Iraq war, a
war that has caused America
trillions of dollars and may
cause an economic collapse
of many nations. When
America sneezes, the whole
world catches a cold.
Since then, Lou Dobbs for
CNN, has brought some
political common sense to
the evening news.
But ... The promoting of
Hillary as our next Queen.
ABC's Barbara Walters,
Time reporter Nina Burleigh,
Leslie Stahl, 60 Minutes
reporter, Carole Simpson
ABC News anchor, News
Week Editor Eleanor Clift,
Margaret Carlson CNN's
"Capital Gang," member.
These journalists sing the
praise of Hillary but these
journalists fail to remind you,
the voter, of Whitewater, FBI
files, lost files, $1,000 parley
in cattle futures into a
$100,000 profit ... sounds
like an Enron deal.
Brings to mind Martha
Stewart. At least Martha got
jail time. There is also the
promoting of foreign nation-
als by Hillary. We should
also remember the "shady"

Some scenarios for a wet and very wet planet


If we fail to act in time, to
take the necessary steps to
stop and reverse the trends
which are destroying our
environment, the global
warming and the melting of
the ice cap at the North Pole
and Antarctica, it is unar-
guable that our seas will rise
to a level that will endanger
or even prevent the continua-
tion of civilization and life as
we now know and enjoy it. In
that event some of the fol-
lowing scenarios are possible
or even likely.


When the seas rise to a
point where the continuation
of our civilization begins to
develop stresses and fractures
due in part to too much sea
and not enough land, the ini-
tial upheaval will be caused
by our inability to make our
technology the prime prob-
lem solver; new gadgets, new
inventions will be useful in
dealing with some, but not all
of the massive changes
nature will require of us.
We will to a large extent
lose our ability to reshape


our environment to meet our
needs. We will then begin a
process of reshaping our-
selves to meet the limitations
imposed by our environment.
Some of our society will
cling to the idea that
machines will be able to do
everything, to save us and
our culture. This is probably
not so. It is well to remember
that in our ancient past some
of the creatures, warm-blood-
ed vertebrates who developed
and adopted to life on land
reversed their direction and


returned to life in the sea
necessitated because of an
inability to successfully com-
pete and adopt to dry land
life.
I suspect that the initial
growth toward land adapta-
tion was caused by the
intense and dangerous com-
petition for survival in the
sea. Amphibian choices
seemed both safer and desir-
able. For some, however; like
the cetaceans, the desire to be
amphibian reversed and
they're adapted to life in the

sea, their necessity of contin-

being their only vestige from
life ashore which still causes
them some disadvantage.
Limbs which evolved back to

AM&


living high on

the hog

I'm glad Perky can't
read or use the computer.
If he did he might have
come across a couple of
stories that would make
him discontent with the
life he leads here.
Actually, I'm assuming
Perky can't use the com-
puter. One day I was in my
bedroom talking to James
when were heard a series
of beeps coming from my
office. When my son
investigated he discovered
the beagle in my office
chair, a paw on the key-
board, which was the
source of the beeps. When
he saw James he sheepish-
ly removed his paw from
the keyboard and waited
for James to leave the
room before he got his
paw back on the spacebar.
We've been assuming
that Perky was at my desk
to troll for coffee. If I am
foolish enough to leave a
partially filled coffee cup
where Perky can get it he
will help himself to the
contents. He hasn't shown
a partiality between regu-
lar coffee and decaf.
But I wonder. After all,
there are times I am not
paying attention to my
dog. Is he sneaking into
my office in the dead of
night and surfing doggie
Web sites? Perhaps look-
ing for special doggie
treats? A female compan-
ion? Better living condi-
tions?
Let me hasten to assure
you that Perky lives a
pretty good life. He comes
running to the kitchen at
the sound of the meat
slicer because he knows
any scraps are going to
wind up in his dog dish.
My mother-in-law and I
are both semi-soft touches
when it comes to treats
from the table, and John
(who is home from college
at the moment) can always
be counted on for spoiling.
All Perky has to do is
look at the back door and
someone will run to open
it and let him out. (We
know what will happen if
we don't). He has the run
of the house for the most
part, the only bone of con-
tention between the two of
us a particular end of the
couch, where Perky likes
to curl up and I like to sit
with my laptop.
One of the stories I'm
concerned about is about
three former stray dogs,
named Buckshot, Katie,
and Obu-Jet. One is a bea-
gle; the other two are
Labrador mixes.
When their owner, Ken
Kemper, died last year, the
trio inherited a cool
$400,000 plus a nice
estate. Their caretaker,
Ron Grady, serves them
spaghetti every Friday,
with meatballs and garlic
bread. No word on what
they eat the other six days
of the week.
This worries me. Perky,
when he's not mooching
bread crusts and parts of
sandwiches, gets dry dog
food. I do not go to the
trouble of cooking his
food. I'm afraid if Perky
gets wind of how
Buckshot, Katie, and Obu-
Jet live he might make
demands.
Then there are the new
self-service dog washes.
These businesses charge
$8 $16 for you to access

pardons by her husband, for-
mer President William
Clinton, let alone the many
"unfair" trade deals that are
collapsing our system.
It is time for the Clinton
dynasty and the Bush dynasty
to end. The American voter-
deserves better. Both parties
for the past 50 years are to
blame for the lack of leader-
ship and America's decline.
Vote for a change, "a third
party."..
P.S. Remember:.Nothinmg is
more important to the main-
tenance of a "free society" .,
than the preservation and
enlargement of the rigi ,'"o'
the people," to know what is


going on in public affairs.
There are rule changes pro-
posed by the Federal
Communications
Commission in Washington,
D.C. in December, that are
not in the public interest.

Thank you Mayor George
Hensley for opening words at
the Orange Blossom shuffle-
board tournament.
Sebring's Orange Blossom
Tournament was sponsored


by Dell Realty and the Blue
Crab Restaurant and Sports
Bar.
The people that made this
happen John Bushee, Tony
Beckwith, Jim Edwards,
Harold Miller, Jim Mondry,
Don Rohman, George
Rosema, Peter White and
Carl Wile worked in the
cold outside from 7 a.m. to 5
p.m., both days.
The people that made the
meals and then served them
were also great: Grace
Barnes, Patty Boswell, Bev
Hann, Mary Hardy, Janice
Patterson and Ed O'Blenis.

thanks you all.

tection and rearing of the
young not found in other sea
creatures.
Perhaps during this go-
round some branch of man
will require some aquatic
adoptions trade limbs for
fins or even evolve gill-like
methods for extracting oxy-
gen from sea water. Equally
or more immediately likely is
the development of a
mechanical submarine socie-
ty where protective artifacts
will be constructed in the sea
to provide a new environ-
ment for conventional man.
A third possibility is to
develop a floating society,
one which would remain nor-
mal air breathers living on
the water's surface, either
with a floating self-sustain-
ing technology or a modified
cetacean evolution, which
would be capable of being
self-sustaining in conjunction
with a modified technology.
What is event is that the
numbers of current, modern
man will be drastically cut,
both because of the great loss
of dry land and the increased
populations in competition
for that land. If technology
collapses, which is highly
probable, we will go back to
primitive subsistence farm-
ing, or hunter food gatherer
tribes if the ecology survives
to produce food stuffs or we
and nature develop new com-
binations for parasitic or
symbiotic survival, whether
on land or in the seas. In all
likelihood the competition
will be fierce and the time
and energy necessarily devot-
ed to survival will impact
and perhaps curtail. opportu-
nities to devise superior
methodologies.


Equally possible, an entire-
ly new creature will find it's
way to the top of the food
chain and its methods of
dominance will largely dic-
tate whether and in what
direction man's survival will
go.
Plant life will of necessity
go through substantial
change, perhaps the photo-
synthesis process, which is
now all but universal, will
give way to some other form
for growth such as the tube
worms growing near the heat
sources at the ocean floor,
completely based on a chem-
istry different from the car-
bon-oxygen cycles of photo-
synthesis.
Little of these changes will
be volitional and evolution
will probable fumble around
with new combinations for
countless eons while the
water planet adjusts to its
new forms.
And think, how much of
this came to be because we
couldn't give up our new
toys and accept a greater
level of inconvenience and
hardship as the price of con-
tinuing to live our lives and
shape our world with a
recognition that we needed to
develop a symbiosis with
nature rather than pursue our
parasitic styles without con-
cerns for tomorrow, what
kind and whether there
would even be a tomorrow
(for us)!
We argued for more deck
chairs and fewer lifeboats on
our Titanic, our planet, and
survivors will be few and
hard pressed.

Pause and
Consider
Jan Merop

Stepping

on snakes

How many times had I
stepped out of my front
door without thought? It's
a natural occurrence.
But on this particular
day, my eyes toward the
mailbox, I felt my foot
step on something and
heard a weird sound like a
hissed gag. Some unde-
fined movement caught
my eye as I looked back.
"What could I have
stepped on?" I wondered.
A lizard was quickly ruled
out as that would have
squished under my
weight. What I could still
feel in my memory was
something of more sub-
stance.
With mail in hand, I
headed back to the front
door and looked around.
There, in the rotky garden
next to the walkway, was
a black snake. Its beady
eyes were staring at me as
if to memorize me for the
future. I could see my
sneaker impression about
six inches from his head.
Whether he had been
sunning himself right in
front of the door or was
slithering along to get to
the garden area, I'll never
know. But, he wasn't
happy to have been
stepped on.
I was a bit more cau-
tious the next few times I
used that door, but it was-
n't long before I didn't
think of it until I had
walked a few feet. Then
I'd remind myself to be
more alert. Though it may
never happen again I
think being alert is a good
thing.
It is the same in our
spiritual lives. We can do
the same activities over
and over good things;
normal things. It takes
just once for us not to
notice Satan's sneaky
ways to trip us up.
Just like in the Garden
of Eden when he caused
Eve to doubt God's word
by saying, "Did God real-
ly say...?"
Now in the physical
realm, it's not wise to step
on snakes. Had I seen him
I would have run the other
way. Though I didn't kill
him, he was disabled. It
seemed as if he was panti-
ng and trying to recover
while part of his body was
flatter than the rest.
However, in the case of
Satan, it is wise to step on
that snake and not let him
relax in front of your front
door. You won't be able to
kill him, but you can dis-
able his attempts on your
life by living alertly.
The Bible encourages
alert living and praying
warning us in Ephesians
6: 11, NIV, to "Put on the
full armor of God so that
you can take your stand
against the devil's
schemes."
This is the best way to
walk out the front door of
a New Year: alert, strong
and full of confident faith
'stepping on snakes' and
standing your ground.
Selah

Arts & Leisure


Cast set for 'Pirates' at HLT


Art Garfunkel coming


to SFCC on Jan. 19


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK Join Art
Garfunkel for an enchanting
evening at South Florida
Community College at 7:30
p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17. Art
Garfunkel, of the world
famous Simon and Garfunkel,
is one of the long awaited
headliners of the 2007-08
SFCC Artist Series held at the
SFCC Auditorium, Highlands
Campus, Avon Park.
Garfunkel just released his
12th solo album, Some
Enchanted Evening. Blessed
with what the New York
Times described as a "beauti-
ful countertenor," singer Art
Garfunkel has made an
incredible mark on the music
world.
He was originally recog-
nized for his Grammy-win-
ning, chart-topping songs and
albums with his partner Paul
Simon. Their greatest hits col-
lection which includes
"Mrs. Robinson,"
"Scarborough Fair," "The
Sound of Silence," "The
Boxer," and "Bridge Over
Troubled Water" is the
biggest selling album ever by


a duo. Their work earned
them the Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award and
induction in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.
After Simon and Garfunkel
parted ways in 1970,
Garfunkel landed several
major film roles, including
"Carnal Knowledge," and he
released several solo albums.
The late 1980s brought two
new challenges for Garfunkel.
He published "Still Water," a
collection of poetry, in 1989
and also began an amazing
trek across America on foot.
Walking across the United
States in 40 installments,
Garfunkel wanted to slow
down, "My goal was to feel
my connection with
America."
But the 1980s and 1990s
found Garfunkel doing what
he does best: singing for an
audience. "Taking on the fear
and vulnerability of a live
show keeps you vital," said
Garfunkel, who relishes the
opportunity to perform new
and classic material for fans
around the world.
The performance is co-

SEBRING Highlands
Little Theatre and Director
Jim McCollum and Kristin
Taylor, assistant director, are
proud to announce the cast for
the upcoming production of
"Pirates of Penzance."
"Pirates of Penzance" is a
comic opera in two acts by
the famous team of Gilbert
and Sullivan.
The plot involves Frederic,
a young man with a strong
sense of duty who was
apprenticed to a band of
pirates. His nurse maid, Ruth,
was told to apprentice him as
a pilot.
The play opens with
Frederic celebrating his 21st
birthday on Feb. 29. As he
becomes released from his
indentures he vows to eradi-
cate his former pirate band.
He later discovers he was
indentured until his 21st
birthday rather than until he
turned 21 years of age.
The ensuing plot twist
makes for a delightful
evening of song and dance.
"This is one of the best
group of voices ever to appear
on HLT stage," Kristin
Taylor, who also serves as the
choral director, said.
"We were really pleased
with the turnout for auditions


and the interest in musicians
to play in the small orches-
tra."
The cast is as follows: Alan
Grossman as The Major
General, Clell Ford as The
Pirate King and Cameron
Reck as Samuel his side kick.
Chris Hayes will portray
Frederic and Nelly Guzman
Ford will portray his love
interest as Mable. Brenda

Fire ants: Harmful insects that affect our lifestyle in more ways than just a sting


I[iving in
Florida, you have
probably had the
misfortune of
being stung by
fire ants at some
time in your life.
Fire ants are
everywhere in
News pastures, yards,
From The parks, wood and
even electrical
Watershed boxes. The sting

Corine Burgess of this imported
pest is quite
painful and causes a lot of harm, not
only to people, but to animals. These
ants are very aggressive. Their large
populations (10 to 30 million ants
per acre) present many challenges
for people and industries
Billions of dollars are spent annu-
ally because of these pesky crea-
tures; not only on prevention. but on
repairs, medical and veterinary
expenses. In addition, fire ants build
mounds that cause damage to farm
equipment, mowers and other land-
scaping apparatus. Thei, mounds
appear as large domes, up to 15-16
inches high. They can also be locat-
ed under objects such as logs. rocks,
bricks and other objects placed on


the ground. Generally, mounds are
obvious in their location; however
they can be difficult to see in some
instances.
Fire ants are small, coppery-
brown in color, and come in a vari-
ety of sizes (2mm to 6mm). They are
an exotic species introduced to
the United States from South
America. In the early 1900's these
pests are believed to have hitched a
ride within the soil used as ballast in
cargo ships. Since their arrival,
they have spread very rapidly.
Today, the red fire ant has
spread throughout the south-
eastern United States and /4
Puerto Rico replacing
two native species of
ants. Recently, fire
ants have been discov-
ered as far away as California,
Kansas and Maryland.
Fire ants' diet consists of almost
any plant or animal material. They
prefer other insects, but will feast on
what is available. In fact, when they
enter an ecosystem, they impact the
native species of plants and animals
that reside there in a big way. In
addition to foraging on new growth,
buds and fruit that the plants pro-
duce, they harm the wildlife.


Researchers have found that the
reduction and even elimination of
many species such as field mice,
snakes, turtles and other vertebrates
have resulted from the introduction
of fire ants to an area.
Since they enjoy a diet of plant
materials such as the seeds of many
crops and buds of developing fruits.


the agriculture industry has been
affected by these destructive crea-
tures.
In addition to their veracious
appetite, they cause destruction by
girdling stems and trunks, digging
underground, and constructing
mounds which often inhibit irriga-
tion systems by blocking the flow of
water.
In an urban setting, fire ants


wreak havoc as well. They reduce
the number of birds and mammals in
the areas in which they live: they
nest in walls, under sidewalks and
many other inconvenient places.
When they exit their mounds, they
leave behind an unstable area, which
may result in structural damage.
They are attracted to electrical cur-
rents, which have resulted in damage
to air conditioners, heat pumps,
phone boxes, traffic lights, trans-
formers and gas pumps.
But perhaps the most irritating
trait of these creatures is simply that
they make our outdoor and some-
times indoor activities less
enjoyable. They invade
our yards and homes
and their sting can
bring fun to a screech-
ing halt. Children and the elderly
may suffer serious effects from fire
ants and require medical attention.
Since a single ant can sting repeated-
ly, when one comes in contact with a
nest, the results can be excruciating.
There may be some good news
though. Phorid flies are a species of
insect that originate in South
America. Research has shown that
they attack fire ants. According to
Agricultural Research, these insects


will pursue an ant and lay a single
egg inside its body. The maggot then
burrows into the ant's head. Just
before the maggot reaches maturity.
it eats the inside of the ant's head
and causes it to fall off. The ant's
head then becomes part of the pupal
case. This sounds really disgusting;
however, these flies are being
researched as a possible aide in the
reduction and control of fire ants.
Other insects are also being
looked at in an effort to control fire
ants. A required trait in all this
research is that the insect selected to
control fire ants must infect only
imported fire ants! Therefore, there
is no risk to other species and as a
result, fire ants could be severely
reduced and maybe someday even
eliminated in the United States.
By utilizing a "natural" method of
control, it is hoped that in the near
future, these aggressive creatures
will be reduced and controlled.

Helping siblings be friends for life a worthwhile goal


Recently, my husband, Ken, and I,
enjoyed the company of a dad and his
two children at our home while his wife
was away on a family emergency.
We had good dinner conversation
with the 10- and 12-year-old sister and
brother and their dad. Quick smiles,
appreciation and enjoyment of being
together were evident.
At last, their tummies full, they asked
to be excused. We offered a movie for
entertainment while we continued visit-
ing with their dad, but they said, "No,
thank you." Unfortunately, I hadn't
thought ahead to have something on
hand for them to play with. But, I need-
n't have been concerned.
As we visited, we noticed how they
made up games and played together.
Some conversation continued between
them and us; but, for the most part, they
entertained themselves and got along
extremely well. They didn't even say
they were bored or ask to go home.
It is not uncommon for parents to
complain that their kids get along like
cats and dogs. There's fighting between
them or tolerance rather than genuine
enjoyment of one another.
Somewhere along the way, they have
not learned to appreciate one another
and build strong family ties from the
time they are little. As parents, we can
work toward that end.


It's natural for the differences in per-
spnalities to cause friction. It's also nat-
ural for selfishness to creep in and
replace sharing and caring. But, just
because it's natural doesn't mean a bet-
ter way can't be learned.
And, that is why the Bible, our
instruction manual on raising children,
is so important. It is practical and helps
us build godly character into our chil-
dren. Such traits will not only help them
while they live under one roof in our
family, but in the future as they leave
the nest and interact in their chosen pro-
fessions and their own marriages.
But, besides that, they will grow to
adulthood as brothers and sisters who
are great friends without regrets. So
often jealousy and resentment rob sib-
lings of a wonderful relationship built
on their common family heritage.
That evening, the laughter of these
children was so contagious that we
stopped conversing just to listen to


them. We couldn't help but comment to
their dad about how beautifully they got
along with each other.
His reply was worth passing along.
He said that since the children were
old enough to understand, he and his
wife have told them that they need to
care for one another and be best friends.
Over the years as the children have got-
ten older, they have built on this.
They've explained that one day when
mom and dad are no longer living, they
will only have each other as immediate
family.
"It takes work," they have said to
their children. "But, it's worth it to
work at your relationship now."
This doesn't mean there's never any
conflict. But, even these times are use-

frailing banjo. She


learned this unique style as
an apprentice to a master
artist under the sponsorship
of the Florida Bureau of
Folklife and has been fea-

online legacy

Special to the News-Sun
MyFootprints.com, an
interactive social network-
ing Web site, has been
designed to allow members
to create their own person-
al legacy by memorializing
milestones in their lives
and wishes for their future.
MyFootprints.com es-
tablishes several forums to
accomplish these goals.
Members, free of charge,
are encouraged to set up
their Footprint page, which
sets forth the history of
their life to date, which
may include a personal
biography, as well as a
timeline of their life.
Members are encouraged
to create a dynamic family
tree, identify friends who
may wish to join them in
their network, post pictures
that are important to them
and create a life journal.
Members also have the
opportunity to set up
secured last wishes, 'a
secret diary, last e-mails

been outstanding and that
it is considered by many to
be a social network for a
more mature population,
not presently served by
current internet social net-
works.

Teen 'Harry Potter' star among celebrities

donating glasses for Holocaust exhibition


By ROB HARRIS
Associated Pres
MANCHESTER, England "Harry Potter"
star Daniel Radcliffe, who captivated moviego-
ers as the bespectacled schoolboy wizard, has
donated the first pair of glasses he wore as a
child to an exhibition marking the horrors of the
Holocaust.
The British actor joins Yoko Ono, talk show
host Jerry Springer, former British Prime
Minister Tony Blair and other celebrities and
members of the public whose spectacles will be
linked together in the shape of a railway track
- recalling the trains that carried many of the
Nazis' victims to concentration camps through-
out Europe. An estimated 6 million Jews died.
The exhibition in Liverpool will open Jan.
21. The port city in northwest England will host
Britain's Holocaust Day commemorative serv-
ice on Jan. 27, the anniversary of the liberation
of Auschwitz.
Muslim leaders are to attend the multicultur-


al service, which is the culmination of a series
of lectures, exhibitions, stage shows and musi-
cal events recalling the Nazi atrocities and more
recent genocides. Jason Isaacs, who stars as the
sinister Lucius Malfoy in the "Harry Potter"
films, will also take part in the service.
The 18-year-old Radcliffe, whose mother is
Jewish, sent the oval, gray metal-framed pair of
glasses he wore as a 6-year-old.
In a statement, Ono called the project "such a
symbolic piece of artwork, which will help peo-
ple to learn how important it is to never forget
the horrors of the Holocaust and to challenge
hatred and prejudice wherever it arises."
Organizers are seeking a total of 110,000
pairs of eyeglasses. When installed inside
Liverpool Town Hall's main ballroom, mirrors
will multiply the number of spectacles and give
the appearance of 330,000 pairs the estimat-
ed number of Jews in Britain at the time of the
Holocaust.

High School Wrestling

A Streak and three Devils


advance to finals of Spiegel


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
SEBRING The 13-team
Seth Spiegel Memorial
Invitational hit the mats
Saturday at Sebring High
School and amid the vast
competition, Avon Park
showed it's strength with
three grapplers advancing to
the finals.
Finals results were not
available at press time and
will be in the Wednesday,
Jan. 9 edition of the News-
Sun.
Shaanan Spiegel, fitting-
ly, advanced for Blue
Streaks, winning by a pin in
2:58 over Kile Grilz of Port
Charlotte and in a 20-5 tech-


nical pin over Red Devil
Fernando Perez.
Spiegel is the younger
brother of Seth Spiegel who
was killed in a go-kart acci-
dent in October of '94.
For Avon Park, Josh Fala
advanced to the finals of the
125-pound weight class by
topping Dylan Parrish of
Gulf Coast in a 6-0 deci-
sion.
At 160 pounds, James
Bland also moved into the
championship bracket with
a pin over Courtney Dryden
of Port Charlotte in 4:23 and
a 15-0 technical pin win
over Miguel Bravo of
Kathleen.


Red Devil heavyweight,
Jace Grimmitt, wrestling at
285 pounds, wasted little
time in advancing, pinning
John Morgan of Bartow in
just 18 seconds.
Just prior to press time,
Sebring's Dustin
Drummond, at 119 pounds,
took the mat in a match for
third place after going 2-0
with a pin over Bartow's
Justin Hunter and an injury
default over Avon Park's
John Chittum.
Likewise, Blue Streak
Shane Liskey was going for
third at 189 pounds after
pinning C.J. Rivers 'of
Bartow in 2:14.

The Bedell's debate free agency and trade seasons


Outside of actual games,
the best part about sports is -
free agency and trade season.
And although you prehis-
toric guys like to whine
about the new trend of build-
ing a team overnight, I think
it is one of the best things to
happen to pro sports.
Look at some of the teams
that have done it recently: the
Celtics, Lakers, Heat,
Yankees, Red Sox, Marlins
and even the Patriots to some
degree.
These teams are some of
the most fun to watch, the
most fun to cheer for and the
most fun to root against.
The Celtics would have
had to wait for years until the
group of guys they had
would have ever been decent,
much less able to win a
championship.
But call up a few alumni,
make a trade here, pick up a
free agent there and poof!
You got yourself a champi-
onship caliber team. It may
all crash and burn for them in
a few years ( i.e. the Miami
Heat) but until then it's great.
Now Dad, I am sure you


Old School

New School
Daniel Bedell


are going to go on about loy-
alty and staying with one
club your whole career, fans
loving you forever and blah,
blah, blah.
But you would definitely
trade all that loyalty for a
few championships when it
came to the Lions. And I
-don't see you complaining
now that the Tigers have
bought their way back into
being competitive.
Really who wants the loy-
alty of losers?
I bet Ted Williams and
Dan Marino wouldn't have
minded one bit if their teams
would have bought a bunch
of All-Stars and Pro-Bowlers


Free agency and trades sea-
son are the second best thing
about sports?!
You have to be kidding me.
This is the musings of one
that has spent too much time
with Sportscenter, Pardon the
Interruption and other vehicles
of the sports blah, blah, blah
industry.
I can easily recall a time
when you weren't such a fan of
free agency.


to surround them.
Even if you hate watching
the Yankees or Lakers make
runs at championships over
and over with players that
other teams developed, you
got to admit that it is so
much sweeter when your
team can lay those Goliaths
low.
Every Yankee hater has
loved the last few years as
they got to watch the boys in
pin stripes fail year again and
again, despite a payroll that
is larger than the GNP of
Canada.
Remember when we
watched, the Pistons shock
the invincible "All-Star"
Lakers in five delicious
games.
That was so great in large
part because everyone had
fallen down to worship at the
feet of Shaq, Kobe, Malone
and Payton.
Everyone except the
Pistons.
Talk up the good old days
when Hall-of-Famers stayed
on the same crappy teams for
their career, but I say good
riddance!


You were about twelve or
thirteen years old. You were a
Shaq fan.
In fact, you and the NBA's
'Man of Steel' share the same
birthday.
After a NBA finals appear-
ance, the Big Aristotle bolted
for LA and the Lakers big bag
of money.
You told me one of your
classmates burned all his Shaq

HARDER
Continued from 1D
may just be a little too late
with a 226 heading into
Sunday.
Bradenton's Isabelle Lendl
went for an even-par 72,
bringing her three-round total
to 222 and giving her a slight
glimmer of hope to contend.
But the race looks to be
predominantly a three-headed
battle between Karle, Walshe
and Lewis.
"I'm really liking the
course and am doing well just
playing my game," Karle
said. "I'm really looking-for-
ward to tomorrow."
Walshe also was feeling
pretty good about the final
round.
"There's still a lot of holes
to play," she said. "It will be
fun."
The weather forecast
shows a continued warm-up,
with partly cloudy skies and
78 degrees.
Just the kind of weather for
what should be a great round
of golf that should come
down to the wire.

- Put The Squeeze On!
. Gary Player has been a great golfer during
his career, including his senior years. He was
certainly ahead of his time in regard to physical
fitness and how it relates to golf. As a senior
golfer, it is critical for you to take advantage
I of any beneficial exercise that would help
Maintain or restore lost game. Here's one
That is both incredibly simple and also
incredibly effective. Simply squeeze an old
tennis ball for 10 minutes a day with each
hand. This simple, quick exercise will give
you much-needed hand, forearm, wrist and
finger strength. This will lead to more power
in'your golf swing. Make certain to work the
fingers, even the pinkies, on each hand.
And pay special attention to the weaker
hand, working it out a bit harder.

LLOYD
Continued from 1D
Hot summer nights made
sleeping nearly impossible
without an electric fan.
Toward the end of summer,
thoughts turned to laying in
the fuel supply needed for the
coming winter months. That
meant cutting a lot of fire-
wood. Dad always bought a
few tons of coal to supple-
ment the firewood.
My grandfather was an
experienced woodsman who
spent his life farming and fir-
ing those huge steam engines
pulling passenger trains
across Indiana and Illinois.
Swinging an axe and
pulling a crosscut saw, he
had cut an awfully lot of
cordwood. Though I had no
experience cutting firewood,
he and I teamed up to supply
most of the winter's fuel.
His cross cut saw was
more than six-feet long. As
we walked across the pasture
to the woods, he said,
"you've never pulled a cross-
cut before, have you?" I
answered, "no but I know
how from watching you." He
grinned; "well, we'll see."
Granddad did most of the
work felling the tree but then
it was a job for two. With
him on one end of the saw
and me on the other, it
looked simple enough to me.
He told me, "I'll pull the saw
my way and you pull it back
to you."
Thinking I was helping, I
was pushing the saw back to
him. That was not the way to
do it. He said again, "I'll pull

posters and gear in the back
yard.
When I made a joke, you
gave me a serious look.
"This isn't funny to Randy,"
you said.
And they call it puppy love!
I would not argue for a return
to the old days of baseball's
reserve clause and the heavy-
handed dealings of those own-
ers.
*Yet, the star that builds a
bond with his team deserves
respect.
Karl Malone as a Laker was
pathetic. He went from the
Mailman to the Avon Lady.
Grant Hill with the Suns is
an uninteresting add-on.
He is by all accounts a great
citizen and class guy. But if he
had stuck with either Detroit or
Orlando until they were a con-
tender, he would be a much
bigger star right now.
The Detroit Tigers'
American League
Championship was sweet
because many of the key con-
tributors on that team had been
part of the 119-loss season in
2003.
Jeremy Bonderman,
Brandon Inge, and Nate
Robertson had experienced
both the highs and lows.
At 23, it is easy to be cava-
lier about loyalty, but as time
marches on you will appreciate
it.
Until then, spend some time
thumbing through photos of
Johnny Unitas in a San Diego
Chargers uniform, and Babe
Ruth in a Boston Braves outfit.
While you are at it, take your
Photoshop program and put
Ted Williams, Al Kaline and
Brooks Robinson in Yankees'
pinstripes.
I've got to leave. I'm getting
nauseated.


it to me and you pull it back
to you." I spent two whole
days trying to do it right and
listening to, "don't ride the
saw." It sure wasn't as easy
as I had thought, but after
two days I kind of got the
hang of it.
Learning to pull that cross-
cut saw was an accomplish-
ment I was proud of. I don't
know how many cords of
wood we cut but with what
little coal dad bought we kept
things warm all winter long. I
really revered my grandfa-
ther. To me, he was a true
outdoorsman.


Our big old two-story farm
house was not easy to heat
but the huge heating stove
sitting in the living room
with all its icing glass and
nickel plating along with the
wood burning cookstove in
the kitchen, it was tolerably
comfortable. On those
extremely cold nights mom's
hand-made quilts and com-
forters kept our shivering
under control.
The hunting season started
about the tenth of November
and with it came my favorite
time of the year. My hunting
partner was a little beagle


and together we spent many
days chasing cottontails on a
neighbor's farm.
Mink, muskrats, foxes, rac-
coons, weasels and 'possums
were fair game until the mid-
dle of January. Trapping was
a lot of work but when I was
successful, it was well worth
it. At that time, a good red
fox pelt was worth about $7.
Muskrats brought up to $3
and a large mink pelt would
put $20 in my poke.
I caught more muskrats
and 'coons than anything else
because they were easier to
trap. It took a bit of know-


how to catch a fox or mink as
they both are very observant
of their surroundings and
careful where they travel.
Even a small disturbance
arouses their cautious
instinct.
I have lived and worked all
over our
beautiful
country. I
have hunted
deer in the
Rocky
Mountains
and elk in
Washington
but those


years I spent hunting rabbits
and trapping muskrats and
raccoons in Indiana were
some of the most enjoyable
of my life.
It would be so wonderful
to live it all over again.
