Man shot in home invasion

Investigators say two men broke into Sun 'N Lake home


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@neivssun.com
SEBRING A 24-year-old
man was in critical condition
Tuesday morning after two sus-
pects allegedly shot him in what
sheriff's deputies described as a
home invasion.
The shooting occurred about 4
a.m. at 4715 Granada Blvd. at
Sebring's Sun 'N Lake, said
Highlands County Sheriff's Lt.
Tim Lethbridge, commander,
Criminal Investigations Division.
"There were multiple offenses
with multiple victims," he said,
explaining four people were pres-
ent when two suspects allegedly
entered the house demanding
money and valuables.
Lethbridge couldn't release a
description of the weapons,
whether both were fired or how
many times. Both suspects were
armed, he said.
Emergency Medical
Technicians found Jonathan Reed
with a gunshot wound and trans-
ported him to Florida Hospital
Heartland Medical Center.
Hospital spokeswoman Cathy
Albritton confirmed Reed was in
critical condition and undergoing
surgery at 9:30 a.m.
By 4 p.m., Reed's medical
information had been pulled from
public access, Albritton said. Any

Reed's "stepfather," Gary
Cowing (he's been dating Reed's


mother about 15 years), said he
learned of the shooting about 5
a.m., when Reed's girlfriend
called Reed's mother.
Cowing swung by the Granada
house after leaving the hospital.
Lethbridge didn't release the
shooting victim's identity, and
wouldn't confirm or deny Reed's
name.

Mahoney speaks about issues facing state and nation

Congressman Tim Mahoney speaks at the 2007 Alternative
Energy Summit.


By MATT MURPHY
miatt.mwphy@newssun.coin
Second of three parts.
SEBRING In an interview with the
News-Sun last Friday, Congressman Tim
Mahoney (D-Palm Beach Gardens)
spoke about a wide range of topics.
Part one of the interview appeared
Sunday and focused on Mahoney's fresh-
man year in Congress. In part three,
which will appear later this week,
Mahoney will share his thoughts on the
Presidential primaries and the prospects
for the upcoming legislative session.
But here, in part two, Mahoney speaks
about several big issues facing both the
state and the nation.
Q: What are your thoughts on
health care?
A: "We have a moral obligation to
reward people who choose to work and


choose not to go on welfare. One in five
working families here don't have insur-
ance, and one in four in rural areas don't
have it.
"We passed SCHIP (State Children's
Health Insurance Program) legislation
twice that was paid for, but it was vetoed.
We could have gotten children covered.
It's a mistake not to do that and the
President's wrong.
"Yes it increased tobacco taxes, and
I'm not a tax increase guy at all. But I
believe in vice taxes. People who gam-
ble, drink and smoke should pay more in
taxes. I'm a wine drinker, and they're not
bad people, but those vices cost society
something.
Q: How does the country address the
issue?
A: "I think it will be addressed in the
Presidential election. It's a very complex


issue. Everyday there are more people
without health insurance. And the ugly
truth is, we do have universal health
insurance it's called the emergency
room.
"We have to do something, and our
businesses are starting to wake up. Social
Security and health care costs make ben-
efits 25 percent more expensive than our
(global) competitors, and if we don't
address health care here, we can't com-
pete globally.
"We pay 50 percent more per capita on
health care than our nearest (internation-
al) competitor, but we're not 50 percent
healthier. The outcomes aren't as good.
"I'm not saying we need to adopt their
programs. We need to do something that
makes sense for Americans. But we need

Singing for his supper may bring a sweet dessert


By CHRISTOPHER
TUFFLEY
christopher.tiu]ley@newssuin.comt
SEBRING
F rank Goldbach,
known professionally
and socially, as
Frank'E the E
stands for entertainment -
is a local professional musi-
cian who may be on the
cusp of a great adventure.
During a pleasure cruise
Nov. 25 to Dec. 2 on the
Norwegian Dawn, he took
part in a talent show the
cruise line calls a star
search.
Passengers sing with a
live band and their perform-
ances are videotaped. The
tapes are passed on to the
cruise line's main office,
where they are reviewed.
A select few of the
singers are offered contracts
to perform.
Frank'E sang "My Way"
to such an ovation he was
asked for an encore. He
then sang Englebert
Humperdink's "After the
Loving."
After his performance,
the cruise director took
Frank'E aside and told him
it was the first time he had
seen an audience demand an
encore.
Frank'E hopes that is a
good sign, but it will be a
while before he finds out if
he made the final cut.
This would be far from
the first time Frank'E
pushed up against the really
big time.
Originally form Brooklyn
and then Long Island, N.Y.
he arrived in Florida fol-


lowing a vacation to Fort
Lauderdale in 1976.
Immediately upon his return
to New York, a major bliz-
zard hit. The next morning,
after shoveling out his
driveway, a snow plow
come by just as he finished
and filled it in again.
He'd had enough, and
was back in Fort
Lauderdale permanently
- within days.
Over the years, he moved
up to Lakeland and played
in a series of country-west-
ern or country-rock bands.
With the group "Marshall
Law," he nearly broke
through to fame and for-
tune.
In 1995 he was named
Country Vocalist of the Year
by the Florida chapter of
the Country Music
Association, and "Marshall
Law" was named Vocalist
Band of the Year.
Suddenly he found him-
self eating dinner with peo-
ple like Garth Brooks and
Vince Gill.
He and the band were on
the verge of a major record
deal.
Unfortunately, he said,
the band's manager turned
out to be a thief, stealing
from them as well as others.
Everything abruptly began
to fall apart, including the
band.
Now he works solo, spe-
cializing in the classics
from the '50s and '60s. He
is a regular on the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Elks,
Moose, and American
Legion circuit.

Frank'E Goldbach (center) recently won a talent search
competition on the Royal Norwegian Cruise line. He sang
'My Way' made famous by Frank Sinatra. The win puts
him in contention for an entertainer's contract with the
cruise line. Locally Frank'E is well known at the VFW and
the American Legion. He often sings at private events and
weddings as well. With him are his Florida parents, Leroy
and Carrie Strohm. That's Dottie the dog in the RV's win-
dow she is Frank'E's traveling companion.


He lives simply, but conm-
fortably in a recreational
vehicle with his dog Dottie,
traveling from one venue to
another.
Frank'E has made close
friends, too. Two of them
were visiting with Frank'E
the day the News-Sun
arrived for an interview.
Leroy and Carrie Strohm
met him at one of his per-
formances at the Moose
Lodge in Sebring.


High-speed chase ends in felony charges


By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy@newssun.coma
AVON PARK A chase
involving a stolen vehicle
reached speeds of 115 mph
but ended abruptly when the
driver lost control and wound
- up in an orange grove.
The suspect, Gustavo
Montiel, 23, Avon Park, then
fled on foot and was able to
elude capture until the owner
of the vehicle reported the car
stolen.
The incident originated at
7:30 p.m. Monday on Main
Street when Avon Park Police
Officer Adam Willis heard a
red Pontiac Trans Am's music
loud enough to violate the
legal decibel level, Willis
wrote in his report.
Willis pulled behind the
vehicle and after turning on
his lights the Pontiac alleged-
ly began to drift from lane to
lane.
"I believed the driver of the
vehicle to be under the influ-
ence of an unknown sub-
stance," Willis said.
The vehicle turned off of
Main Street onto North Anoka
Avenue and allegedly acceler-
ated to speeds up to 85 mph in
the 35 mph zone while trying
to elude Willis.
Montiel then turned down
Lake Isis Drive, reaching
speeds of 60 mph in a 25 mph
zone as he lost control of the
car, nearly hit a tree and start-


ed to drive on the sidewalk,
Willis said.
Losing control of the
Pontiac after turning down
North Central Avenue,
Montiel drove the car towards
Willis's patrol car, forcing
him to take evasive action,
Willis said.
Montiel then headed east
on S.R. 17, allegedly driving
at speeds up to 115 mph and
passing motorists by driving
into oncoming
traffic, forcing
vehicles to0
leave the road
to avoid being
struck.
After turn-
ing on to Ward
Montiel Road, Montiel
lost control of
the vehicle and struck four
citrus trees before the vehicle
came to a final stop.
Montiel got out of the car
and ran into the citrus grove,
leaving his shoes and shirt 50
yards from the vehicle, Willis
said.
When the chase took Willis
to the edge of the city limits
and into Highlands County,
the Sheriff's Office sent a K-9
team to help Willis.
HCSO Deputy Chris
Gunter arrived with K-9
Wyatt, tracking the suspect to
the landfill at S.R. 17 and Old
Bombing Range Road, where
Willis saw the suspect run-


ning through the landfill and
into an orange grove at
Geneva Road.
The search ended at Park
Elementary School, where the
track was lost.
Just before 11 p.m., the
owner of the Pontiac reported
his car stolen.
The owner said a friend of
his may have taken the car
without permission. The
friend was Montiel.
He gave officers the loca-
tion of Montiel's home, where
Willis identified him as the
driver of the stolen Pontiac.
Willis also noticed several
cuts on the suspect's feet.
The car chase took three
minutes. Montiel was
charged with fleeing to elude
a law enforcement officer,
aggravated assault on a law
enforcement officer with a
motor vehicle, trespassing,
driving without a valid dri-
ver's license, and resisting
arrest without violence.

Correction

In a Dec. 23 article, the
hours of the Nesting Home
and Garden Shop were incor-
rect. The store is open
Mondays through Thursdays
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and
the first and third Saturdays
of each month from 10 a.m.
until 3 p.m. The store is not
open on Fridays.


"The first time I saw
him," Carrie Strohm twin-
kled, "I told him I'd like to
take him home and adopt
him." She was teasing.
But Frank'E surprised her
by saying that his folks
were up in New York and
he was lonely and would
love another set of parents.
And so the Strohms have
become his Florida family.
In fact, he was with them
on the cruise.

A pool pump that started smoking Tuesday afternoon
could have led to a much bigger fire, said Sebring Fire
Chief Brad Batz, (far right) but fortunately a neighbor
noticed smoke and decided to look into it. "I thought
they were barbecuing, but the smoke was too close to the
house," said the neighbor, wishing to remain nameless.

Dance-A-Thon

to hit the floor

Saturday night

Music from 60s and
70s to be featured
By MATT MURPHY
matt.murphy@ newssun.com
SEBRING If you're
looking to relieve the music
and dress of the 1960s and
1970s two decades known
for their distinct fashions
- then Saturday night is your
lucky night.
That's because of the "
'60s and '70s Dance-A-
Thon," which is set to begin
at 7 p.m. Saturday at the
American Legion Post in
Lake Placid.
During the festivities there
will be a dance contest and a
costume contest, and cash
prizes will be awarded for
each.
A 42-inch high definition
television will be raffled off,
along with other items, and
light refreshments will be
provided.
There will also be a live
band present to provide the
dancing music.
The event is open to any-
one, organizer Sue Clark
said, and people are advised
to get out their old clothes
and their dancing shoes.
"We expect a very large
crowd and a lot of fun," Clark
said.
The fund raiser will benefit
the Humane Society of Lake
Placid and the Miracle
League.
Tickets are a $10 donation,
and can be obtained by call-
ing the Lake Placid Board of
Realtors at 465-3444.
There will be tickets avail-
able at the door, Clark said,
but tickets to the event will
be limited and distributed on
a first-come, first-serve basis.


News-Sun photo by KATARA SIMMONS
Highlands County Sheriff's Office crime scene investigators process the scene of a home invasion and shooting
that took place early Tuesday morning in Sun 'N Lake in Sebring.


SHOT
Continued from 1A
scene of parties, with "young" people
coming and going. But, with a bull-
dog present there, she was surprised
a home invasion could happen.
Curbside garbage cans, three of
them full to overflowing, held evi-
dence of such gatherings three
empty 18-packs of Budweiser, an 18-
pack of Bud Light, empty beer bot-
tles and a white, Styrofoam container
of pasta takeout.
The stretch of Granada Boulevard
adjacent to the home and in front of a
community swimming pool con-
tained traces of blood, encircled by
five fluorescent orange rings. More
blood remained on the driveway, just
behind a four-door Saturn with a
local license plate.
"You can see the smear marks,
Jeff, but I don't see any prints,"
Crime Scene Technician Kathy Perez
said to fellow investigator Deputy
Jeff Fennell.


Spraying a black fluid onto the
dew-wet white sedan, they employed
a process known as "SPR."
SPR allows officers to detect and
photograph latent prints on wet sur-
faces, using the liquid equivalent of
dusting.
Despite the smears, which Perez
and Fennell suggested might have
been clothing brushing against the
car, they found no prints and hosed
off the car.
Sam and Evelyn Antonio were
across the street while the crime
scene technicians continued to
process evidence.
Though they don't live on Granada
Boulevard, they were there Tuesday
morning to take Sam Antonio's moth-
er to a surgery appointment.
She heard sounds of "burning rub-
ber" and a gunshot about 3 a.m. but
didn't see anything, Sam Antonio
said, explaining his mother is often
awake at that time or is easily woken.
"It's sad this happens in this neigh-
borhood," Evelyn Antonio said, not-
ing the busted-out window of the


house behind yellow tape. "It's a nice
neighborhood. ... I hope there
weren't any kids involved."
Her in-laws' street, as far as she
knew, was mostly occupied by
"older" people. She was surprised to
learn younger people live there.
Lethbridge said there appeared to
be no link with the fatal shooting in
Avon Park. Instead, the home inva-
sion was a "target of opportunity"
and the victims allegedly didn't
know their assailants.
The suspects tried to conceal their
identities by covering their faces,
Lethbridge said. Though specific
clothing or physical build character-
istics weren't available, he said they
were looking for two men a black
male and a white or Hispanic male.
He didn't know whether the sus-
pects fled by foot or vehicle.
"If I had that information, I would-
n't release it," Lethbridge said.
He's asking anybody with infor-
mation to call his office, 402-7200,
or Heartland Crime Stoppers, (800)
226-TIPS.

County commission defines role of advisory committee


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.com
SEBRING The first
meeting of the citizen adviso-
ry committee that will help
select the county's next com-
missioner is Thursday.
After Tuesday's brief meet-
ing of county commissioners,
the committee has its march-
ing orders.
Consultant Colin
Baenziger, of the executive
search firm bearing his name,
suggested the committee help
refine recruitment material,
then narrow the candidate
pool from 25 to the best 10-
12.
Baenziger said 50-60 peo-
ple would apply from 7,500


DROUGHT
Continued from 1A
regional drought, which has
led to a multi-year water
shortage the likes of which we
have never experienced,"
SFWMD Governing Board
Chairman Eric Buermann
said.
"South Florida residents -
as well as water managers -
must live with limited water
supplies this dry season, and
we all must practice conserva-
tion and follow the one-day-a-
week restrictions if we are to
successfully minimize the


government professionals,, Of
them, only 25 would be
"good" qualified candidates,
"at least on paper."
By mid-March, the adviso-
ry committee would be dis-
banded and Baenziger would
begin interviews and back-
ground checks in earnest.
From the former commit-
tee's short list, he would pres-
ent the eight most-qualified
candidates to the commission-
ers, then schedule an April
reception for the board to
meet the finalists and their
spouses.
Baenziger's schedule calls
for the selection of a new
county administrator by April
29 during a regular commis-

age."

By disbanding the advisory
committee, the former mem-
bers are allowed to meet the
finalists and give their
impressions to the commis-
sioners without violating the
state's open meetings laws, he
explained.
"And, that would be my
suggestion," Baenziger said.
Commissioner C. Guy
Maxcy raised the issue of
overlapping the new adminis-
trator with Carl Cool, who
retires June 30.
The merits of overlapping
the old with the new was dis-
cussed in the past, but nothing
was agreed upon.

sion, explaining he didn't buy
into the idea.
"Everybody I talked to said
we need some overlap,"
Commission Chairman Edgar
Stokes said.
They agreed to seek
Baenziger's advice on the
matter and make a decision
later but before advertising
the vacancy.
Jackson cautioned that the

already with their role.

Fuschia alert: Be wary of men


wearing pink in the airport


DAN HOEHNE
Sports Editor


Those who want



benefits should pay

We regret that Lake Denton is a matter of contro-
versy. Its clear water and sandy bottom have long
made it a favorite. Many people who grew up in
Highlands County have fond memories of playing and
swimming there.
In fact, for years users of the lake and the families
that live around it got along well, treating each other
and the place with respect.
Now that balance has failed and, because of a few,
we are at war with one another.
It is a shame that in the process one of the county's
loveliest lakes has become a crowded mess of traffic
and irresponsible users.
That a small group of self-centered yahoos can
spoil a beautiful place for the rest of us is nothing
short of infuriating.
'So it is with sorrow that we agree with the county
commission; something does have to be done.
We agree with most, but not all of its plans.
Charging a diver's fee of $25 a day does not seem
unreasonable. But restricting hours to between 8 a.m.
and 4 p.m. seems stingy given the cost.
However, regarding who will pay for the cost of
building a fence, a gate, and funding for an attendant
we strongly feel that should be the responsibility
of the property holders on the lake, not county tax-
payers in general.
We feel that if Lake Denton home owners want
what amounts to a gated community complete with a
guard, they should pay for that themselves.
The state has long recognized the importance of
water to human life. Florida's lakes belong to all its
-= citizens especially in this case where land wasg,'1o
deeded to the county to provide access to the lake.
If the immediate neighbors want major upgrades, it
seems to us they should pay for them, not th9se indi-
viduals the neighbors are trying so hard to keep out.
Regular law enforcement patrols and a ticketing
campaign might prove more of a deterrent to the
bozos among us, than a single, part-time civilian
attendant with no real authority.


Readers should seriously study issues
Editor:
It is curiously amazing that many people still
believe the mantra of this administration for war in
Iraq. The tragic truth is President Bush simply lied
to the American people, that this was mandated. He,
is prolonging it until he leaves office. There is
another possibility; some Orwellian event could
occur to keep him in office, re: President
Mdsharraff. There are so many strange events these
past seven years that the public is just now learn-
ing about them. A review is in order.
The general public is just now grasping that the
Iraqi war was based on false data; even more facts
still pop up to verify President Bush's deception.
In 1990-91, Bush I gained a coalition of some 50
nations to counter Saddam Hussein's invasion of
Kuwait. Many of the coalition nations provided
funds, equipment and manpower to repel Hussein
from Kuwait. That war was a tremendous success
and cost the United States little because that cam-
paign was sanctioned by the United Nations and
the coalition. ...
After Sept. 11, 2001, Bush attacked the Taliban
in Afghanistan with the full blessing of the United
Nations and the still existing coalition. The world
was led to believe that the Taliban was defeated, so
Bush turned to the issue of Iraq. This is the tragic
phase of this War on Terror. When Bush II went to
the U.N. Security Council for authorization to
attack Iraq, he had to complete several steps of the
process, just as Bush I did. The first few steps
were approved unanimously by the Security
Council, but conflicting data kept surfacing and
succeeding votes were passing with smaller majori-
ties. Bush II pulled the last issue from considera-
tion because he knew it would not pass. France,
Germany, Russia and China were not convinced
war was war ranted. He unilaterally and preemp-
tively attacked Iraq in 2003. ...
The issue of torture is another curious puzzle. It
was Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's lawyers who
determined what regulations related to "interroga-

Airports are pretty cool

many years can we be on
orange-alert? What am I sup-
posed to do when on orange
alert? Am I supposed to freak
out and run around scream-
ing and flailing my arms if I
see a bag that is not being
touched by a human? Am I
supposed to assume everyone
at the airport is a terrorist
until I can prove that they
aren't?
Perhaps the bigger ques-
tion is what does the govern-
ment think I am going to do
differently if I walked into
the airport tomorrow and saw
we were only on brown alert,
or purple or magenta or teal
or maroon or fuchsia alert? I
really wish there was a fuch-
sia alert. A fuchsia alert
would mean that any one-
who was wearing fuchsia
would have to hop around
like a bunny and say the

tions" were permitted in Abu Girade prison. Even
the general in charge of the prison did not know
what happened there, but she became the scapegoat
of that scandal. The top brass was never held
accountable, but the peons (privates, corporals and
sergeants) were. The former and current Attorneys
General do not know if water boarding is a form of
torture. And they are lawyers! ...
Another part of this tragic phase (2002-2006) is
that Bush was portrayed as the moral president; he
was going to bring Christian ethics back to the
oval office. The Ten Commandments do not
include: Thou shall not lie, mislead, distort,
deceive, misrepresent ...
These are but a few of the "incidents" that have
occurred since 2001. They should not only provide
insight into the basis for the quagmire this country
is in, militarily, socially and economically, but they
should also inspire the reader to seriously study the
issues, the positions of current governmental offi-
cials and the consequences of federal and state
policies that have adversely affected personal, fam-
ily and business affairs. Some 100 to 150 million
people are wondering "What happened?"

I have to admit I had no
idea what fuchsia was until I
looked it up. It just sounded
like a sissy color so I thought
I would use it. Did you know
that it is a brilliant deep pink
color tinged with purple? Did
you also know it is a plant or
shrub widely grown for its
drooping purplish, reddish,
or white flowers? Well if you
did know that I am guessing
you aren't a 23-year-old

Speaking of brilliant pink,
what is up with guys wearing

whole "I am so manly I can

ridiculous.

It is almost as if the gown

You know those pictures

am reminded that I am a

can officially hang that blue

Rather it is the continu-

Joe Rogers, former Lieutenant governor of Colorado, will recite Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have A Dream' speech as well
as other of the civil rights leader's famous orations, during the 'Dream Alive' program at South Florida Community College
on Feb. 27


'Dream Alive' program planned at SFCC


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK South Florida
Community College is presenting a spe-
cial program titled "Dream Alive" at 7
p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, at the
Highlands Campus in Avon Park. The
program is presented through these
SFCC organizations: Cultural Programs,
Student Government Association,
African American Association, and
College Outreach Program.
The program, presented by Joe
Rogers, is a dedication to Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. and other leaders of the
civil rights movement.
In 2003 .Joe Rogers completed his his-
tory-making term as the lieutenant gov-
ernor of Colorado, where he held the dis-
tinction of serving as America's youngest


Show a tribute to legacy

of Martin Luther King Jr.
lieutenant governor and only the fourth
African- American in United States his-
tory elected as a state's number two
executive.
Now a national speaker, lecturer and
attorney in Colorado, Rogers has been
recognized for his work and commitment
to strengthening America.
Every presentation he gives is a unique
and positive blend of inspiration, history,
motivation and education.
The Dream Alive Program is a dedica-
tion to the memory and legacy of King
and is an effort to help increase the
understanding of the enormous contribu-


tions that King and movement leaders
imparted to the nation. During his pres-
entation, Rogers recites the "I Have A
Dream" speech, as well as King's final
address before his assassination in
Memphis in 1968.
Individual tickets are $12. Tickets for
groups of 10 or more are $10 each. This
event will be open seating. For tickets,
contact the SFCC Box Office at 784-
7178.
An 11 a.m. performance of Dream
Alive will be held for students from
Highlands County Schools along with
SFCC students who will all benefit from
this inspirational and educational per-
formance.

to do something, and people
recognize that. If you work
and pay taxes, you should be
able to afford to get health
care, and that's just not true
now. In that particular case,
we have an obligation to peo-
ple."
Q: What about illegal
immigration?
A: "We have to enforce our
borders. Here we have a war
on terror, and we're spending
$190 billion as a nation build-
ing in Iraq in a battle I don't
think we should be fighting.
"We should spend that
money going after terrorists.
We have money for Iraq but
we don't have $3 billion the
Border Patrol needs to secure
our borders? We don't have
the $6 billion for our ports?
We don't have $3 billion for
our sheriffs?
"We can do that. We can
secure our borders and protect
America, and we should. But
we also have to recognize that
we have industries depending
on that labor. If the citrus
industry went down here, the
county would be in a world of
hurt. So we need to make sure
that we do the right things
with our borders.
"We need to be mature
about the fact that we don't
want orange juice prices to
triple. If we do need labor, we
need to provide it in a way
that makes sense.
Q: What about the econo-
my?
A: "People are suffering,
the working middle class is
suffering with high gasoline
and prescription drug prices.
People aren't getting ahead in
this economy.
"Our ability to make sure
people have money to invest
in their family has to be our
top priority. We have to get
the tax burden off individuals,
and corporations have to pay
their fair share. Our kids have


to graduate with the ability to
compete around the country
and the world. Government
needs to get smaller, and
more efficient."
Q: What are some bills
pending in Congress that
will be important for the
area?
A: "The Water Resources
Development Act will be vital
for Central Florida. It's vital
for aquifers and for the
Everglades projects that are
under way. Another big story
is the energy bill. It's not only
going to bring a fivefold
increase in opportunity to
Florida in terms of business
for fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles. It will also provide fund-
ing for cellulosic ethanol, tak-
ing citrus pulp and turning it
into ethanol. I took the lead in
this.
"We've made sure anyone
getting into ethanol in Florida
will have a customer. This
will transform the citrus
industry in Central Florida.
Companies here will have
new sources of income, and
this is important because in
Central Florida we lack some
economic opportunities that
the coasts have. "
Q: What are some other
issues that have grabbed
your attention?
A: "Veterans funding. If
you look at the Bush adminis-
tration, in the last seven years
it has broken promises to vet-
erans. You have income
requirements and co-pay-
ments for veterans services,
and those are taxes on sen-
iors.
"For middle class and
working class retired
Americans, the economy has
gotten tough. A lot more peo-
ple can't afford normal health
care so they try to get veter-
ans care, and they're finding
long lines. Here we are in a
war on terror trying to get
people to enlist in the service,
and look at how we're treat-
ing our veterans."

SEBRING RECREATION CLUB
Chapman Chamberlin

SEBRING We hope that
you had your Christmas din-
ner with us at the club. We
have so much to be thankful
about in Sebring. Sunday,
Dec. 23, after the Christmas
party I understand that Lowell
Jones sang a number with
Tommy Brandt.
Entertainment is just one of
the many things that go on at
the club. Every.Sunday after-
noon in the winter we have
talent that is open to the pub-
- lic. If you do not take advan-
tage of this, it is your loss.
January 6, Stardusters Band;
January 13, Bluegrass
Travelers; January 20,
Soloved with Bill and Judy
Williams; January 27,
Bluegrass Travelers.
Shuffleboard will start
January 9 for nine weeks and
all will have a good time.
Sebring Grove RV Park
should enter the park's tour-
nament with their team: Ray,
Max, Deana, Dot, Roberta,
Janet, Leon and Ed. Eight
very strong shufflers and only
six needed for a team. I hope
that you have seen George
Kisel or Carl Wile about your
team this year. March 4 is so
close and only 10 teams will
compete. Line dancing is
going strong after their
Christmas party. Still room
for you and they dance all
year, every Wednesday
evening. New dancers are
learned and new friends
made, while you keep in


shape. You must come and see
what you have been missing.
Table tennis or ping-pong
has room for more players.
They still want more so that
another table is needed.
Cards are being played with
bridge leading the way with
the most players. Euchre and
pinochle are two more games
that are played.
The Hobby Club is meeting
on Monday mornings at 9:30.
Jim and Eva are shuffling and
they have become a force to
deal with on the courts. Karen
and Dan travel up from Lake
Placid to shuffle with us.
They play golf and are learn-
ing shuffleboard very fast.
They are a nice couple and
you should meet them.
Carl told me that the inter-
est in bingo is down Thursday
nights so far. The crowd is not
a group large enough to be
called a crowd. Members and
guest, where are you for this
good time Thursday night at 7
p.m. We have a couple of new
pros that just started playing
as pros this year and it is said
that it takes you five years to
become a good pro. Well
George Kisel and Lowell
Jones did not listen to this for
they have both won, tourna-
ments as a pro in the first year
as one.
Our friend Tom has just
purchased a new cue and now
says this has to be trained
before he becomes unbeat-
able. If you have an idea on
how to reach younger people
to play shuffleboard, contact
John Bushee. John is the one
to see about shuffleboard les-
sons.
Ed Straub is now collecting
for our garage sale for this
year. He will also be happy if
you should offer him some
help.
If you are now shuffling in
a park, you should come to
the club and shuffle with us. It
is always fun to shuffle with
.different people to see another
approach to the game. You
will learn etiquette and also
tournament play if you want
or need this. It is nice to know
even if you don't need it, the
do's and the don'ts of shuffle-
board.
Stop by the desk Monday
through Friday morning, 9
a.m. to noon and find how we
can help you. The person at
the desk will have the answer
or be able to get it. If you
have not joined this year, you
can do this also at the desk.
We will be playing cards, line
dancing and shuffling all year.
This is not a fair weather club;
even though at times we want
to be.
We want to thank all of our
sponsors and also new mem-
bers for the help that you are
to us. For those that are not
members yet, stop and see
what you can do for the club.
The big question is when Bill
and Bev arrive, will Bill join
the club this year? Does he
have enough time? We're at
333 Pomegranate Street in


Sebring (behind the Police
Station).


TOWN AND COUNTRY MHP
Janet Day

SEBRING Happy New
Year to everyone! Our park
wishes one and all a year of
good health, prosperity and
daily blessings from our
Creator and Sustainer!
December was surely a
busy month with many travel-
ing to be with family and to
others came the joy (and hard
work) of family enjoying our
wonderfully warm December
weather. (BRRRR--what hap-
pened)? Thanks to Don
Blonde and John Haag (and
many others) for decorating
their homes so beautifully.
Don and John placed No. 1
and No. 2 for best decorated
manufactured homes in and
around Sebring area.
Congratulations to both! We
all enjoyed your ingenuity
and hard work plus the many
visitors touring our streets in
the evening. Thanks also to
Bess and Bill Wyse for host-
ing a wonderful Christmas
open house. We all enjoyed
the food, fellowship and hos-
pitality. An early Christmas
dinner was celebrated at the
clubhouse on December 19
allowing Wendy and Hal
Johnson to be with family in
GA for Christmas. Several
folks enjoyed good fellowship
and food at the Caddyshack
for New Year's Eve and
returned to Peg and Al Fraim's
to welcome the New Year.
Great camaraderie over the
holiday season will hopefully
continue the whole year. Let's
always remember our neigh-
bors and be helpful to one
another. If there is a need, let
someone know!
December brought some
new homeowners to
Town/Country. George and
Nancy Brockelbank moved
"north to Avon Park;" wel-


come to Tom and Sandy
McQueary who purchased
their home. Tom and Sandy
have resided in the Sebring
area previously. Joe Susco
purchased the Dennison prop-
erty on 110 Town/Country
Blvd. to be nearer family.
Mildred Dennison returned to
Illinois over the summer. We
welcome Joe and also Lee and
Shirley Lungren of
Annandale, Minn. The
Lungrens purchased Bev
Alsip's home on
Town/Country Blvd. previ-
ously but Shirley just retired
in December so are now able
to leave wintry Minnesota and
enjoy our Florida sunshine.
Jack and Marian Balough
have moved to Dotham,
Alabama after several years in
the park. All will be missed
but we extend greetings to all
the new homeowners.
Several of our residents
were hospitalized over
December but all are back in
their homes now. Mary
Pittman, Shirley and Dwayne
Lowe, Larry Grabert, Dixie
Cooper and Tonya Rose all
experienced hospital stays.
Marge Bedard also returned
home from an extended stay
at the Palms. We are thankful
all are able to be home after
surgery or other medical
problems. We are saddened to
learn Bob and Mary Pittman
will tentatively return to Ohio
soon. Although we wish them
the best, you will both be
missed along with little
Sammie.
Regular monthly meeting
of our Homeowner's
Association will be January 7.
Coffee and doughnuts at 9
a.m.; business meeting at 9:30
a.m. Come and support your
officers. Welcome to new
Trustee, Don Blonde. Thanks
to all who were willing to be
placed in nomination for posi-
tions and to all who serve.
Bill Wyse was re-elected Vice
President; Betty Chapel as
Treasurer. Toby Chapel is our

Natural remedies for asthma


Asthma certainly can be
serious when we overlook the
natural approach to helping
this disorder. Most patients
take the advice of their physi-
cians and end up with many
drugs, just so that in the long
haul of treatment they become
sicker. We are in a world of
more toxicity than ever,
where more than 25 million
have become asthmatic and
still growing.
Dr. Richard Firshein, a
friend based in New York
City and a former asthmatic
himself, has written a book
that is outstanding, called "
Reversing Asthma," and is a
must for all those who may
have breathing problems of
any kind.
The use of bronchodilators
with a drug like Albuteral, as
well as other drugs, can be a
wrong approach if over used.
Prednisone also is not effec-
tive and research has shown it
to be a negative medicine for
the asthmatic patient.
What then can be of help?
Valerian, chamomile, passion
flower, and hops can also aid
sleep. Most health stores
carry this product, which in
many cases adds Melatonin.
Branched chain amino acids
provide the body with precur-
sors of the neurotransmitters
that aid sleep.
With the start of an attack,
eliminate stressful challenges.
Deep breathing techniques,
meditation, hypnosis, visuali-
zation, exercise, and a realis-
tic approach to a good healthy
nutritional diet, can be of
great help. Getting rid of
molds, harmful odor smelling
paint, and showering with

See stress as a challenge, and
your white cells will make
your immune system healthi-
er, helping to ward off breath-
ing problems.
Many diseases can be
thwarted with seeing them as
a challenge. Each time that
you meet that challenge, you
feel hope, joy, triumph, and a
sense of efficacy. The overall
effect on your immune system
will be quite beneficial. We

There are exciting remedies
like sleeping on a recently

absorbed by the unclean wool.
Have a Chihuahua,(Mexican
hairless dog) for a pet? The
asthma goes to the dog who
does not suffer from it. Eat
six to 10 cloves of garlic
daily, gulping them down
with orange juice, may help to
reduce the need of cortisone
and .not be bothered by asth-
ma. While dairy products are
not good for asthmatics, ched-
dar cheese may be an excep-
tion; it contains tyramine that
helps to open up the breathing
passages.
Wild cherry bark tea can be
helpful; drinking it fairly
often may eliminate the prob-
lem. Drinking chicory
(endive), celery, and carrot
juice, using a juicer daily,
helps many afflicted.
Dr. Ray Wunderlich, a good
friend who created the open-
ing of my soon-to-be-pub-

under 400 mg. of elemental
magnesium daily. This can
take away bronchial spasms.

S53rd Harder Hall Women's Invitational


Walshe roars back after terrifying 10th


And Another
Thing...
Dan Hoehne

The Hoehne 5 -

Five topics in the

sports world worth

mentioning...

Now I don't know who to
believe, in the whole Roger
Clemens, Brian McNamee
debate.
Roger seemed so adamant
during his "60 Minutes"
interview as well as at his
press conference on Monday.
Then again, when caught
in a lie, don't we all some-
times get too adamant as a
way to dispel the lie?
Not to mention the many
holes and/or non-answers
that accompanied the
adamancy.
In the tape recorded phone
conversation, Clemens never
directly said, "You know I
didn't take steroids."
And never directly asked,
"Why did you lie when you
know I didn't?"
McNamee also never
specifically said he lied, only
offering, "What do you want
me to do?"
To which, of course,
Clemens could have said,
"Tbll the truth," but didn't.
S Many seem swayed by his
offensive attack now, weeks
after the fact.
But the more he opens up,
the more that still seems to

the 53rd Harder Hall

three strokes.
Coming into the day, Karle
held a one-stroke lead, pow-
ered by her tournament-tying
round of 66 Friday.
But Walshe had 'I ,
countered with a 68
Saturday to keep the drill
gap razor thin.
That gap stayed at Wel
just one stroke on
the opening hole of all
the final day, but it
could have been at tiu
even worse.
Karle managed to
get on the par-5 hole tr l
in three and sink her
putt for birdie, while stee
Walshe's opening
drive sailed into the A
ALI
next fairway.
Walshe was able WAI
to get to the fringe in 2008
three, leaving herself Hall ch
a very long putt to
try and keep pace.
Drain the putt she did,
however, and the game was
on.
The entire foursome,
including Virginia Grimes
and '06 champion Stacy
Lewis, birdied the second
hole, but the third hole saw
some problems.
Grimes inadvertantly ran
her cart over her own ball in
the fairway, incuring a one-
stroke penalty, Walshe's
drive again sailed way right
and Lewis took two shots to
get out of the sand trap.


Grimes salvaged a bogie,
as did Walshe, but Lewis'
carded a double bogie.
Pars were gotten on the
fourth by Karle, Walshe and
Lewis, but Grimes troubles
continued as she got into a
sand trap and ended up with
another bogie.
Her drive into the water on
the par-3 fifth hole netted her
a double bogie and she was
quickly falling out of compe-
tition.
'asn't Lewis got back to
one-over-par with a
ving birdie on the fifth and
a two-stroke swing
II at took place with
SWalshe birieing and
and Karle bogieing for a
nes I tie at five-under.
They stayed even
aS at minus-six as
Walshe and Karle
ig to birdied the sixth, but
Walshe tagged her
r it.' third birdie in a row
on the seventh, while
ISON Karle settled for par
S for a one-stroke lead
for the University of
Harder Arizona senior over
lampion the Pepperdine fresh-
man.
The two parred out the
front nine, with Walshe card-
ing a four-under 32 and Karle
a two-under 34.
But Walshe's momentum
was nearly lost, and her lead
was lost on a disasterous 10th
hole.
"I was terrified off the tee
all day," she said. "I wasn't
driving well at all and at
times I was trying to steer it.
It became a real mind-game."
The fear became all-too
real as she drove her tee-shot
into the woods left of the
fairway, taking two shots to

get out of the woods and end-
ing the hole with a triple-
bogie.
Karle saw her 20-foot putt
rim out, but saved par and
regained the lead, now by
two.
But while the seven on her


scorecard could have rattled
her for a few holes, Walshe
got right back on track, sink-
ing an 18-foot putt for birdie
as Karle settled for par,
bringing her lead down to
one.
The two parred the 12th,


though both came within an
eyelash of birdieing it.
Walshe chipped onto the
green and watched it roll to
within a foot, while Karle's
30-foot putt came within

Lady Devils fly high against Lake Placid


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
LAKE PLACID Call it
being rusty from the holiday
break, or perhaps one could
look at the one-person bench
of the Lady Dragons of Lake
Placid and the fact that the
one bench player was out for
most of the game after her
glasses were broken.
Whatever the case, the
Avon Park Lady Devils just
overwhelmed host Lake
Placid Monday night to the
tune of a 54-8 victory.
"We actually could have
scored more," Devil coach
Paulette Daily said. "But
when we started out, we got
lulled into playing at their
pace."
That was the case, as
Avon Park
Avon Park only man-
4 aged eight
5 first quarter
Lake Placid points, four
apiece from
B Beonca
8 Godfrey and
Daija Barrett.
But their quick and aggre-
sive defense was already in
high gear, with only Ashley
Paeplow able to score for the
Dragons for an 8-2 Red
Devil lead.
That's where the charade
ended, as the defense kicked
into high gear, creating
turnovers and multiple fast-
break opportunities.
Barrett scored the first
two buckets of the period
before Markida Hawthorne
and Godfrey traded lay-ups
and three-pointers to break
the lead open, 22-2.
Godfrey drove again, hit
one-of-two free throws, and
Hawthorne canned another
trey before Lyvetrius

Avon Park's Beonca 'Crazy Legs' Godfrey goes up for two
on this drive at the first-half buzzer. This drive wouldn't
fall, but plenty of others would as a quick and aggresive
Lady Devil defense overwhelmed host Lake Placid, 54-8,
Monday night. Godfrey lead the winners with 14 points
and Markida Hawthorne added 13, moving Avon Pdrk to
13-4 on the season.


Godfrey put in a rebound for
a 30-2 halftime lead.
"You don't really want to
get into a game like that and
it's easy for the players to
lose focus," Daily said. "We
told them at halftime, play
the game well and don't
make a joke out of it."
And while the lead contin-
ued to grow in the third, it
was just a matter of the


defense keeping Lake Placid
at bay and the offense click-
ing on all cylinders.
Daily also got a chance to
get her bench players some
more game time as Lyvetrius
Godfrey, Johnequa Perry
and Kim White all got into
the scoring column.
The Dragons got some

Blue Streaks bounce Booker

By ED BALDRIDGE
News-Sun correspondent
SEBRING In true Pecos
Bill tall tale fashion, the
Sebring Blue Streaks wran-
gled the Sarasota Booker
Tornados 51-44 on Tuesday
night.
From the outset of the
game, the Streaks showed
maturity and patience while
facing the Class 4A District
10 leaders from Booker.
Controlling the game with a
steady hand, and keeping the
pace slow and controlled,
Sebring played a more organ-
ized offense, while the
Tornados tried over and over
to step up the pace of the
game.
Using the Tornado's 2-3
defense against them, the
S t r e a k seo
Streaks
Sebring worked the
ball to the
weak spots
Booker using the
Oroscow
brothers, the
older and taller
Nathaniel on
the inside and the smaller and
younger Nate on the outside.
The younger Oroscow, just
up from JV last Saturday,
showed some maturity and
intensity, scoring eight points
and the spot as the second-
highest scorer for the night.
"He (Nate) is ready to play,
and I did not want to bring
him up and sit him on the
bench when he could be play-
ing on JV. Javier (Medina)
had missed three practices, so
I put Nate in at practice and
told the older guys to work
him hard."
Using the Oroscow connec- News-Sun photo by DAN HOEHNE

FIVE
Continued from 1 )
be hidden.
And so LSU is the BCS
National Champion, as if
beating a Big Ten school
these days were something so
great.
Not to take anything away
from the Tigers. who are
indeed a great team.
But if ever a year cried out
for another game or two to


settle it, it is this one, with
much support for both
Georgia and USC to have a
crack at it.
And it may be the sort of
situation that finally cracks
the current BCS format,
which the Pac-lO, USC's
conference, has been in sup-
port of until now maybe?
The 'not-so' Big 10 has
Also been in support of the
BCS, but after consecutive
drubbings in the big game,
they may want to rethink


their stance as well.
Closer to home, I'm jump-
ing on the "I love.the
Jaguars" bandwagon or as
Tony Kornheiser on Pardon
the Interruption says it, "the
Jaguires."
Partly because I, along
with many others I'm sure,
am hoping against hope that
the Patriots get stopped and
have their perfect season
destroyed.
But also'because they do
seem like just the type of


team to do it.
A ball-control offense with
a very strong, double-faceted
running game and a quarter-
back who doesn't make many
mistakes.
The key isn't to try to stop
New England, it's more to
limit their opportunities.
Jacksonville has shown it
can play in inclement weath-
er, and by controlling the
ball, they can keep MVP
Brady off the field.
Besides I'm rooting for the


Packers to take it all this
year. and I think they would
have a better shot against
anyone else but the Patriots.
I've always had a great
respect for Brett Favre. but I
speak for all Bears fans when
I realize that if Green Bay
does win it all this year, odds
are Number 4 will retire and
quit tormenting us.
And finally, there is some
good news for one Ms.
Spears.
It seems that the NCAA


Women's Basketball rookie
of the week is a freshman
forward for the University of
Colorado Buffaloes -
Brittany Spears.
That little tid-bit might be
funny enough on it's own, if
that were the only oddity.
It seems Spears has a
teammate who is also a
namesake for a troubled diva,
a sophomore guard named
Whitney Houston.

to either soot on the inside. or
feed the ball to the big leader
for Sebring for the night Sam

"We knew they would play

head coach Princeton Harris.

my old stuff knowing that
they would have to let us into
the inside, or open up at the

base line, or let us shoot for
three from the outside."
And go to Robinson they
did. Taking advantage of his
maverick style from the out-
side, Robinson was able to net
26 points.
Using the clock and ball
control to lead 27-24 at the
half, the Streak offense was
not the usual fare.
"They just stepped up and
played, and when they would
loose their focus, I would yell
for them to come back into


focus. We did a good job exe-
cuting,. and I just put some of
those plays in yesterday at
practice."
"They played a whole game
of basketball," commented
Harris.
"Sam was on tonight, and
he had a little bit of a run
there in the third period. We
took some bad shots there for
a bit, but we stayed focused,
we need to understand we
don't have to score every time
we touch the ball. "
Coming back from the half-
time break, the Tornados tried
to use the foul as a game strat-
egy, forcing Sebring to 20
total for the evening and took
advantage of the opportunity
every time they were at the
free throw line.
Booker made 15 of their 17
attempts for 88 percent.
Leading 40-35 at the start
of the fourth period, Booker
switched to a man defense,
trying to force turnovers and
play catch-up basketball.
But the Streaks continued
to concentrate on their organ-
ized offense, and remained in
the lead.
Unable to regain the lead,
the Tornados were still trail-
ing 51-44 when the final sec-
onds ticked off the clock.

inches of dropping in.
The 13th proved unlucky
for Karle, as her chip-shot
from the left of the green
came up short, leaving her
still in the rough and leading
to a bogie.
Walshe came up short on a
20-foot putt, but took a par to
even things again at five-
under.
Karle again found trouble
on the 14th with her drive
going left of the fairway,
leaving her in a sandy patch
of turf.
Her following shot came up
short of the green from where
she chipped to within 10 feet
of the pin.
Her par putt, however,
came up an inch short, giving
her consecutive bogies.
Walshe, on the other hand,
drained a 15-foot putt for
birdie and the lead was sud-
denly back to two in her
favor.
Both had chances to either
increase the lead or draw a lit-
tle closer on the next two
holes, but pars would be set-
tled for.
But Walshe hit a chip to
within eight feet on the 17th
and sank her putt for birdie,
while Karle missed a long
putt and took a par for a three-
stroke lead that pretty much
sealed the win.
Both would par the final
hole, giving Karle an even-
par 72 on the day for a four-
under total of 284, with
Walshe carding another 68 for
a seven-under 281 and the
title.
"I shot even par and played
solid," Karle said. "Things
just didn't fall my way. My
putts just didn't fall at all,
none, zero."

pion was not deterred at all,

however, from her first
Harder Hall experience.
"I'm coming back next
year," she said. "I like it here
and this is facing the best
there is in college golf."
For Walshe, meanwhile, the
third time was the charm and
she sees this tournament as a
springboard like many others
before.
"This is my last go around
here," she said. "I've got my
senior season to play and I'll


play some amateur tourna-
ments this summer. Then I'm
planning on going to Q
School next fall."
Tournament director Carole
Semple-Thompson was
pleased with how the tourna-
ment went off.
"There was a great level of
play here and I'm very proud
of all the players," she said.
"The weather on the first day
was unfortunate, but that's
Florida winter golf for you."


By AMY HART
News-Sun correspondent
SEBRING- For the first
time since the tournament
started, a Spiegel won the
Seth Spiegel Memorial
Invitational on Saturday.
Sebring's Shaanan Spiegel
took first place in the 152-
pound weight class as a senior
after consecutive second
place finishes as a sophomore
and junior.
"I decided before I stepped
on the mat that I wasn't going
to take second again," he said.
"This is the second most
important tournament of the
year for me. It's second to
state."
His family seemed to have
the same hope.
Before warming up for
finals, Spiegel got good luck
hugs from all his family mem-
bers, from his grandparents to
his 3-year old nephew.
Not that he needed the luck
as Spiegel beat Booker's
Chris Mulhall in a 21-4 tech-
nical pin in the second period.
In team standings, Sebring
didn't do so well taking ninth


of eleven, but Avon Park
fought their way to third.
The Red Devil's Greg
Gentry made it to consolation
finals in the 103-pound
weight class but lost to Jordan
Cox of Lake Region to take
fourth place.
Sebring's Dustin
Drummond took third in the
119-pound weight class.
Drummond saw Gulf
Coast's Andrew Moreira in
the consolation finals, the
same opponent he lost to by
one point in the first round,
but this time Drummond came
out on top with a 2:00 pin.
In the 125-pound weight
class, Avon Park's Josh Sala
took second after a loss in
finals.
Fellow Red Devil Jack
Bland pinned Sean Pfalzgiaf
of Lakewood Ranch in 1:31 in
the 140-pound consolation
finals to take third.
Charles Hubbard, also of
Avon Park, took the mat next
in the 145-pound weight class
and also won, pinning Blue
Streak Evan Hunter in 1:37
for third place.


The first of Avon Park's
individual championships
came from James Bland at
160 pounds.
Bland led Gulf Coast's Kris
Tompkins 11-0 before
Tompkins defaulted due to an
injury.
Sebring's Shane Liskey
took fourth at 189 pounds
after a loss to Booker's Jason
Hartigan.
In the 215-pound weight
class, Avon Park's Isuel
Guzman lost to Port
Charlotte's Ron Anderson in
the consolation finals to take
third.
Avon Park's other individ-
ual championship came from
285-pound Jace Grimmett,
who beat Steven Smith of
Kathleen in a 19-1 technical
pin.
Both teams walked away
happy. Avon Park with a third
place team finish and Sebring
with the first Spiegel to win
this tournament.
Avon Park and Sebring will
both meet the rest of the dis-
trict in District Duels next
weekend at Lake Wales.
