Skip Adams, co-chairman
of the affectionately-dubbed
Pig Fest, reiterated the seri-
ousness, if not professional-
ism, of the contests.
The judges must attend an
FBA course to become certi-
fied, learning how to discern
proper smoking techniques by
looking at, then tasting, vari-
ous meats.
"The whole credibility of
the contest lies in the judg-
ing," Adams said, acknowl-
edging there are rumblings at


every contest of
bias or judges
with poor taste.
But, the taste-
testing is "blind"
and, in this case,


"off site" the
judges are far removed from
the festive atmosphere of row

Some competitions hold
their judging "on site,"
explained Snyder.
On-site, a team's represen-
tative gives an oral presenta-

about property

tax amendment

By MATT MURPHY
mIatt.IuI)IirplIy@ ll(' ,'.ssil .tin. ill
SEBRING The Florida
primaries are just weeks
away. but the Presidential
race isn't the only thing on
the Jan. 29 ballots. Election
day will also determine
whether the property tax
amendment, which will
expand the state's Homestead
Exemption, will become law.
And at 11:30 a.m.
Wednesday at the Kenilworth
Lodge, Speaker of the House
Marco Rubio (R-Miami), will
be speaking. Rubio's pres-
ence is appropriate, given
that he was the man who
introduced the amendment in
Tallahassee last year.
Rubio will be "informing
voters on what they're look-
ing at on the ballot," said Dan
Andrews, president/chief
executive officer of the
Greater Sebring Chamber of
Commerce. "And if time
allows, we will open it up for
questions."
Andrews added that
although the amendment
"will be the primary discus-
sion, we will open the floor to
discussion about other issues
or questions anyone might
have."
The event is sponsored by
Leadership Highlands.
Admission is $15 for the pub-
lic and $10 for alumni or
members of the current class
of Leadership Highlands.
Lunch will be served.
Reservations will be guar-
anteed if made by Monday,
and around 100 seats will be
available, Andrews said. For
more information or to make
reservations. contact the
Greater Sebring Chamber of
Commerce at 385-8448. or e-
mail them at information@

SEBRING The county
commissioners have become
unsuspecting soldiers in the
drug war.
Highlands County Sheriff
Susan Benton's drug task
force was busy last year
with 46 marijuana grow
house busts.
Since Nov. 8, 2006, her
officers with the help of
'citizen soldiers' in the form
of concerned neighbors -
have taken down 60 such
operations from Avon Park
to Venus.
The new year has turned
up more of the same. The
first grow house was raided
Jan. 4 at 3675 State Road 66


in Sebring.
According to Criminal
Intelligence Analyst Faith
Hammortree, Special
Investigations Unit.
deputies have collected
more than $14 million in
marijuana, 3,488 plants.
They seized 174 pounds
of harvested cannabis. a
variety of firearms, intelli-
gence-laden documents. and
more than $100,000 in cash.
Sheriff's Counsel Mike
Durham said $60-70.000 in
vehicles have been confis-
cated and another S30-
35,000 worth are pending.
Benton invested 4.392
man-hours in the 14-month
dragnet that produced 79
arrests.

When a lawnmower's cutting


edge means going faster


By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@tnewssun.comt
AVON PARK Shriners
in Highlands County are
looking forward to the third
annual NASGRASS Riding
Lawnmower Races, starting 1
p.m. Sunday at the Shriner
Club, 2636 State Road 17.
Admission is $5 for adults
and teens, no charge for chil-
dren 12 and under.
What the admission gets
you, Sid Whiteside said, is an
afternoon of racing.
Whiteside has been presi-
dent of NASGRASS since
2004, and helped organize the
Highlands races from the
beginning.
NASGRASS which
means North American
Society of Grass Racers and
Sod Slingers is a 501 (c) 3
organizing entity that puts on
riding lawnmower races for
charity events. It has been in
existence since 1985, and has
helped the Shriners in
Highlands County with their
races for the last two years.
This year 25-30 drivers


will try to satisfy their need
for speed while riding
mechanical steeds built by
John Deere, Briggs &
Stratton, Snapper, STIHL and
Dixie Chopper.
Some races involve stock
engines; some races encour-
age souped-up engineering.
Typical speeds on stock
engines can run 23 miles per
hour, but mowers have been
known to run as fast as 72
mph many average 60
mph.
Drivers may enter a race on
the day of the event,
Whiteside said. Safety gear,
like a helmet, is required.
The races raise funds for
the Shriners Club, which is a
private, public service organi-
zation, mostly focused on
providing quality health care
for children.
The Shriners support 20
hospitals in the United States
that never charge a family for
a child's treatment.
"Sunday promises to be a
lot of fun," said Whiteside.
"There are races for kids -


7-11 in one class, 12-16, in
another, and a ladies class and
a senior class, meaning any-
one over 50.
"There will be 10-lap races,
15-lap races, and a final 30-
lap race to determine an over-
all winner. You get a lot of
racing for $5," he said grin-
ning.
Each event has three races,
each class has double elimi-
nation.
A trophy and bragging
rights will go to a champ in
each class, the rookie of the
year, and the overall winner.
The Shriners will have hot
dogs, hamburgers, soda and
so forth for sale.
Call 382-2208. The Web
site at www.nasgrass.com has
more information about its
program, and a link to with
directions to the Shrine Club.

judges, which requires less
work and more eating.
He said the chicken was
good Saturday. He relayed an
observation with which he
thought fellow judges would
agree.
"My biggest complaint
with.chicken is whenever it
becomes 'ooey-gooey,"'
Ginsburg said.
That's just too much sauce.
The goal should be to marry
the sauce and chicken, not
smother one with the other.
"Real good barbecue don't
need no sauce," Ginsburg
said. "And yoq can quote me
on that."

Judges see, smell and taste chicken Saturday morning to help determine the winners for the
Central Florida Barbecue Festival.


Ed Thomas, Orlando, who's
been with the 12 Hours of
BBQ since it began, samples
a piece of chicken Saturday
as judging got underway. 'I
always love coming down
here ... because we like
coming to the flea market
and the area,' he said.
Unless they're captured by
the flavor of a particular
piece of meat, most judges
limit their bites to two per
entry. But, the food isn't
wasted. It's offered to volun-
teers or the judges take it
home in coolers they bring
with them.

their service and support in
garrison.
With each warrant served
on a suspected grow house,
the zoning and code enforce-
ment departments are notified
in advance.
Even during "knock and
talks," when possible, the
county is given advance
notice so they can begin
tracking potential nuisance
abatement cases, Durham
said.
But, as with criminal prose-
cution of suspected drug
traders, the county must allow
due process to play out with
civil code violations.
"Fairly nice homes that
were grow houses had gone
completely down," Bates
said, referring to adjacent
homes at 1053 and 1055
Winter Green St. in the
Leisure Lakes subdivision.
"It's becoming a blight in
some parts of the county."
V Durham said the distribu-
| tion of grow houses has been
evenly spread across the
county, which reflects what's
happening across the state.
Code enforcement has
levied more than $65,000 in
liens for 18 grow house cases
that have gone before the spe-
cial magistrate.
Most of that, explained
Code Enforcement Supervisor
April Hartseil, is from fines
that accumulate daily. The
balance represents the coun-
ty's prosecution and cleanup
expenses.
Though some liens have
been paid off, Hartseil wasn't
able Friday to specify how
much.
Nancy Reaney, who lives in
Leisure Lakes and passes the
former grow houses during
morning walks, would like
the county, or the state, to
enact laws expediting the
abatement of nuisances
caused by houses abandoned
after a bust.
"It's a long process you
have to go through," Reaney
said, explaining she first com-
plained in June, a month after
Benton's task force raided the
Winter Green homes.

"This was a new concept,"
Scott said, explaining his
predecessor didn't budget for
the unexpected influxes that
grow houses would bring.
When Scott took the reigns
last year, his top priority was
to secure funding for proper
feline housing.
The additional burden of
the small, large and exotic

ongoing drug busts amplified
what Scott's cat house project
revealed he needed to
improve his facility's infra-

After receiving complaints
from his constituents and
making himself familiar with

the problem to his fellow
commissioners in November.
"I didn't get much

Invasive Plant Management begins

Monday on Lake Istokpoga


Special to the News-Sun
LORIDA The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission's Aquatic Habitat
Management Team has selected specific
areas along Lake Istokpoga's shoreline and
around the islands for treatment of invasive
vegetation with herbicides as part of the
Lake Istokpoga Fish Management Area
(FMA) aquatic habitat enhancement pro-
gram.
Areas to be treated include the west
shoreline from Windy Point to Henderson's
Cove, the north shoreline from Lykes Cove
to Istokpoga Park, the northeast shoreline
between Mallard RV Park and Istokpoga
Canal, and the interior marsh areas of Big
Island, Long Island, and Bumblebee Island.
Depending on weather conditions, an air-
boat treatment is scheduled to begin
Monday through Jan. 31 and helicopter
treatments will run from Jan. 28-31.
Maps showing treatment areas will be
posted at Istokpoga's public boat ramps and
local fish camps. Please try to avoid these
areas during the spray operations. For addi-
tional information, contact Steve Gornak at


(863) 462-5190.
Management of invasive aquatic plants is
part of the commission's Aquatic Habitat
Enhancement Program for Istokpoga. Lack
of adequate fluctuation, reversal of the natu-
ral fluctuation cycle, and low water levels
during the prime growing season for aquatic
plants have encouraged expansion of cattail,
pickerelweed, and other invasive plants in
Lake Istokpoga since 1962.
In Spring 2001, the FFWCC conducted an
aquatic habitat enhancement drawdown on
Istokpoga, in which 1,308 acres over 21
miles of shoreline were scraped of tussock
and organic material. These enhanced areas
provide sandy substrate on which native
desirable plants are encouraged to grow.
However, pickerelweed, as the primary
aquatic plant invader in these sites, becomes
dominant and creates monoculture stands,
which begin to exclude other desirable
plants.
Also, since 1998, the FFWCC has main-
tained a seasonal aquatic harvester program
around Big Island, Bumblebee Island, and
Henderson's Cove to control tussock.

Like nowhere else on earth: Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary


By PATRICIA C. POND
News Sun correspondent
NAPLES -During the
recent holiday vacation, one
of the happiest places on
earth appeared to be
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary,
a 13,000-acre preserve in
Collier County on the north-
ern edge of Florida's Big
Cypress Swamp.
Corkscrew is a National
Audubon Society sanctuary
and has been designated as a
"gateway site" for the Great
Florida Birding Trail.
Thousands of visitors trav-
eled from as far as Europe
and as near as Naples to dis-
cover and watch the dozens
of rare and endangered birds
and animals that inhabit this
magical place. They walked
the 2.25 mile raised board-
walk that winds through the
Sanctuary's pine uplands,
across a small prairie into the
forest and finally deep into
the unspoiled marshes of the
swamp.
Interpretive displays along
the boardwalk help visitors
identify many of the plants
and animals found in the
Sanctuary. Volunteer natural-
ists are usually on the board-
walk to answer questions and
point out the birds and ani-
mals that are "hiding in plain
sight."
There is an optional one-
mile trail that not only short-
ens the walk but also takes
visitors more directly to the
Lettuce Lakes. These natural
pools harbor a large concen-
tration of birds and animals
within easy viewing of the
boardwalk.
This shorter trail attracted
most of the families with
very young children.
"There is nowhere else
people can go to have the
experience you have on our
boardwalk," said Ed Carlson,
the Sanctuary's director.
"This is the least disturbed
wetland that you can find in


Florida. We have escaped all
of the levees and changes
that created problems in other
areas."
Carlson said that
Corkscrew has the largest
stand of ancient bald cypress
forest in the world. The huge
bald cypress trees at
Corkscrew are approximately
500 to 700 years old and
reach heights of 130 feet.
Most of the cypress that once
dominated the swamps of the
southeastern United States
have been leveled for their
timber.
But it is the creatures great
and small that captivate visi-
tors. Natural pools are filled
with a colorful variety of
herons and ibis searching for
fish; small clearings reveal
cardinals, warblers and doves
feeding side by side; over-
hanging branches are perches
for rare night herons and
anhingas drying their wings.
Little squeals of delight
escaped from kids and adults
alike as they spotted all the
different birds and animals
on a cool winter morning
recently. And everyone -
including the children was
trying to be quiet so that they
didn't scare anything away.
Volunteer naturalists pointed
out the more secretive resi-
dents, and photographers
aimed their cameras to whis-
pers of "look, look over
there!"
One lucky group heard the
grunts, snorts and noisy
crunching of a river otter
who was devouring a cray-
fish it had just captured.
Otters can be seen playing
and hunting near the board-
walk, while only a few feet
away, alligators bask on the
bank in the sun.
Farther along, someone
spoted turtles:."I see three -
no four turtles. Look down
there." Little foreheads
pressed against the slats in
the boardwalk rails.

NEED To GET AWAY, IF JUST FOR
THE DAY? HERE'S A PLACE To Go

Audubon staff member Amy
Fleischer (center) identifies
several birds feeding in one of
Corkscrew's lettuce lakes as
Cindy Cone (left) of Fort Myers
gets ready to aim her camera.


"Where are the snakes?"
one little boy asked. "I want
to see the snakes."
Both the long and short
trails take visitors through
four distinct environments: a
pine upland, a wet prairie, a
cypress forest, and a marsh.
Guide Amy Fleischer of
the Sanctuary staff explained
that a drop of only four feet
in elevation separates the dry
pine uplands from the water-
covered marsh.
"Water is the heart of the
swamp," Fleischer said.
"Just a few inches of water in
the lower levels'creates an
entirely different ecosystem
of plants and trees and the
creatures that live there."
She went on to explain that
the dry pine uplands com-
monly seen throughout south
Florida are extremely impor-
tant to protect because dry
habitat is always in danger
from development.
"This is prime habitat for
panthers," she added.
Next, across a narrow slice
of wet prairie which is real-
ly a type of marsh dominated
by grasses the visitbr is


confronted by a wall of pond
cypress trees which create a
dramatic division between
prairie and swamp.
"I'll bet you didn't even
notice how the boardwalk has
been gradually dropping,"
Fleischer said. "But this
small drop in elevation com-
pletely changes the land-
scape. We are entering the
wetlands."
The pond cypress are
smaller than the bald cypress
because they are stunted by
nutrient poor soils on the
edge of the prairie. But they
are a healthy adaptation, now
more than 100 years old.
Raccoons love the woods
and prairie areas, and a moth-
er and two young skittered
along close to the boardwalk
with only an occasional
glance upward.
Soon the majestic bald
cypress trees began to soar
up alongside the boardwalk,
as they have for a thousand
years in the deep swamps of
southwest Florida. These
giants share the forest with
red maple, pond apple and a
seemingly endless variety of
shrubs, vines, flowers and air
plants. As the visitor


descends into the marsh, the
ferns, shrubs and flowers cre-
ate an authentic tropical para-
dise.
The sanctuary is the largest
nesting and breeding area for
the endangered Wood Stork
in North America.
"The Wood Storks nest
here in spring," Fleischer
said, "but they will not be
nesting this year because of
the drought. It is not safe for
the storks to nest unless there
is enough water around the
trees for the alligators. The
alligators, which eat small
animals, actually protect the
nests from raccoons and
other predators. It's all part
of the natural ecosystem."
Ed Carlson confirms that
the area is experiencing the
most severe drought on
record, "and we have been
keeping records since the
1950's, but it is still healthy,
because it is a natural
drought."
"Other good things hap-
pen," Fleischer added. "The
cypress pods will root and
sprout in the soil, which
doesn't happen in standing
,water. The forest will gain
new trees."


The National Audubon
Society accepted responsibil-
ity for the management of the
Sanctuary in 1955 and started
construction of the first
boardwalk through the
swamp in that year. The mis-
sion of the Audubon Society
is to conserve and'restore
natural ecosystems, managing
them to maintain the native
plants and animals found
there.
Controlled burns and
remov,al of invasive exotic
plants are the only work of
man in the Sanctuary. No ani-
mals are fed, no fertilizers or
chemicals are used, and noth-
ing is planted for decoration.
Carlson observed that the
natural processes of the
swamp have been occurring
undisturbed for thousands of
years without interference
from man, and "this place
still works."

Directions
From Highlands County,
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
is a pleasant two-hour drive
mainly via State Road 29
through pastureland, groves
and small farming communi-
ties.
The best route from this
area is U.S. 27 south turning
right onto SR 29 near
Palmdale. At LaBelle, turn
left onto South Main Street,
then turn right at sign onto
SR 29. At Immokalee, go
through downtown, then turn
right at South 1st Street,
which becomes Immokalee
Road (SR 846 W). Drive 12.4
miles, then turn right onto
Sanctuary Road at the brown
sanctuary sign.
The Sanctuary is open
every day of the year except
during violent weather.

Almost not worth it

Friday morning equipment was finally on hand to
finish the seemingly interminable job of adding an
exit lane onto Tubbs Road for the new Marriott
Residence Inn on U.S. 27.
The main reason we, who use Tubbs Road regular-
ly, are so glad to be done with the construction equip-
me9t, the rough road way, the detours into the Sun
Trust parking lot, and the barrel like barriers protect-
ing the unfinished exit lane, is how unsafe the inter-
section has been.
First we'd like the Florida Department !of
Transportation, and the KDL Company, which is the
contractor doing the work, to know that while those
round barrel type barricades being used at the inter-
section work well for drivers headed south on the
highway, they create a real problem for drivers wait-
ing to enter U.S. 27 from Tubbs Road.
The barrels are too wide to see around properly to
begin with, and as they stretch in a line to the north,
at an angle from the side street, an optical illusion
creates a solid wall that hides the highway's lanes
from sight all together. Even when a driver can get up
close for a look, the barrels make it difficult to judge
an on-coming vehicle's speed, and often, what lane it
is in.
There has to be a better invention. One that allows
drivers from all sides to see safely.
Second there was an air of abandonment of this
project for quite a period of time. This impacted the
traffic because of mixed messages.
For example, for some time a flashing sign north of
the work zone announced lane closures that were not
in place. That kind of disconnect can lead to compla-
cence among drivers.
While,we can see the advantage in the work now
accomplished, on balance we have to say the extend-
ed time of disruption, coupled with the unsafe driving
conditions it caused make it almost not worth the
while.

A party invite turns into a hairy experience


All right, for the last time: I
did not stick my finger in a
light socket.
Also, while the recent
events with the presidential
election have caused me some
mild frustration, it has not
caused anything drastic to
happen to my appearance.
Unless you count the circles
under my eyes because I'm
staying up way too late listen-
ing to political analysts make
all kinds of pronouncements -
it's especially entertaining
when they have to explain
why the pronouncements they
made the day before are a
load of peanut butter.
No, the reason I look so dif-
ferent is a lot easier to
explain: I went to a.Christmas
party.
Well, I probably should
explain a little better than
that. Don and I had a
Christmas party to attend, and
in a fit of femininity I decided
I wanted to make an extra
effort to look nice. I'd lost a
bit of weight and it somehow


Laura's
Look
Laura Ware
got my brain to thinking I
could do something about the
other parts.
This is harder than it
sounds especially when it
comes to my hair. My hair has
always been quite straight.
Cut it to shoulder length and
you might be able to persuade
it to flip up at the end.
Otherwise, it just sits there.
So, feeling adventurous, I
went to my style salon and put
myself in the woman's hands.
"Make it look nice" was my
only instruction.
And she did. It was a hit. It
was the best looking hair I
had in a long time. Granted, it
meant two hours of my life,
45 minutes of it spent under a
hair dryer with my locks in
rollers, but for the party it was
worth it.
Then people started saying,
"you should wear it like that


all the time."
Well, as much as I liked the
hairdo, I was not about to
spend 45 minutes a week
under a hot dryer. I knew the
minute I washed my hair the
style would go down the
drain, so I went to the style
salon again and asked what
our other options were. The
other option? A perm.
I'd had perms before -
though the last time I can
remember having one I was
still taller than my kids, so I
knew it had been a while. But
they assured me I'd only have
to get it done once every three
months instead of every week.
That appealed to me.
So before I knew it I was
back in the hands of my hair
stylist. She worried that.with
my straight and fine hair it
would have a hard time with a
perm, so she went for the
extra-strength solution. And
tiny rollers. Tiny rollers are
not painless to have put in
your hair, no matter how gen-
tle the stylist tries to be.

Propaganda machine
still going strong
Editor:
They say that history
repeats itself. I will probably
catch a lot of flack from this
observation, but look at the
facts.
Because of a speed boat in
the Gulf of Tonkin, we went
to war, which cost us 57 thou-
sand lives and untold billions
of dollars..
They assassinated
President Kennedy, because
he wouldn't declare war,
amiss government lies and
trumped up facts.
So what do we have today,
a speed boat incident, govern-
ment lies and false informa-
tion and let's not forget those
weapons of mass destruction.
The hundreds of billions of
dollars wasted and so far,
4,000 American lives lost.
The American propaganda
machine is alive and well and
still going strong.
Does this sofnd familiar, or
what?

Sebring

Is Obama the right
man for president?

Editor:
If you are following the
primary elections, look at the
walls of Senator Obama's
campaign headquarters.
What's missing? It's called
The American flag.
All the other candidates
display the flag of the United
States of America. Guess this
is one of those tough answers
to tough questions.
I understand the Senator
will not recite the Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag of the
United States of America nor
will he show any reverence to
it. When sworn is as a senator,
he took the oath with his hand
on the Koran, not the Holy
Bible.
Is this the sort of man we
want for our president? Wake
up voters. God Bless America

I


When the rollers came out,
my straight hair was a mass of
curls. Tiny, springy curls.
Different does not even begin
to describe my appearance.
Better depends on who you
talk to. My friends love it.
My family is still getting used
to it the amount of curl was
something of a surprise.
Me, I'm still figuring out
how to play with it. It's nice
in the sense that it doesn't
require a bunch of mainte-
nance. The compliments are
welcome.
We'll see how it goes the
next couple of months before
I have to get another perm.
The only change I might make
to it before then is continuing
my battle with gray roots.
Unless Hillary Clinton
becomes president. Then
you'll see a change when my
hair turns white.

Pause and
Consider
Jan Merop

Mapping out

the journey
Have you ever noticed
that what you focus on
you drift towards?
I was driving along one
day taking in the pretty
scenery around me. As I
looked toward the lake,
some large birds caught
my eye. And in an
instant, I felt the car
drifting that way.
Fortunately, I caught
myself and straightened
out my course. No harm
done. But had I not cor-
rected at that moment, I
could have drifted into
the other lane. Though
not a heavily traveled
road, it only takes one
other car for a collision.
The same is true in
our'lives'. It doesn't take
but a split second for us
to get distracted and drift
away from truth. And, if
we are not careful to
catch ourselves, we can
collide with another fast-
moving object not meant
to be in our path; or, we
can turn down a wrong
- road and get lost foT a-"
time. However, there's a
roadmap that can keep us
on course. That's God's
Word.
I appreciate the Bible
so much because it is the
book that keeps my life
on course. And if my
focus gets distracted and
I begin to drift, the reme-
dy for my sin is found in
1 John 1:9, NIV, which
says, "If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and
just and will forgive us
our sins and purify us
from all unrighteous-
ness."
The Bible tells us all
we need to know to
understand who we are
and where we are going.
God hasn't sugar-coated
the truth. The Bible tells
us about God's original
plan and how man's dis-
obedience led to sin and
interrupted that plan.
But it doesn't stop
there. The remedy is
given in God's Son will-
ingly leaving heaven's
glory to become a man,
live an exemplary life,
die to take away our sins,
and rise from the dead to
assure us of'eternal life.
And, that remedy is
ongoing through the
power of the Holy Spirit
who indwells us when we
believe and entrust our-
selves to the One who
made us and has a.plan
for our lives.
Interestingly, the most
important part of that
plan isn't found in what
we do as much as in who
we are and are becoming.
By being correctly
focused on God, we tap
into the power of God
within us. This manifests
itself in our actions:
purity in our walk,
thoughts and decisions.
So, let the Bible help
us map out our journey
so that we will not drift
away but stay on course.
Selah

Connecting corridors: What they mean to wildlife


As more and more people
move to Florida, many of the
natural and agricultural areas
are being converted into
urban development. As a
result, the land that once
housed many species of
wildlife is now paved or
developed in some way and
the wildlife can no longer
exist in those places.
If you think about the rdeeds
of wildlife, you can well
imagine that they would
rather be in a wooded area of
fairly large size. Also, most
wild animals will move from
one area to another through-
out their lives in search of
water, food or mates. Animals
would prefer to move through
protective cover, hidden from
predators. That is were con-
necting corridors come in to
play.
Connecting corridors are
the strips of grass and/or
shrubs and trees that connect
larger habitat areas -
whether they are wetlands,
native grasses, woodlands or


other habitat. In
recent years, inter-
est in connecting
corridors has grown
because wildlife
corridors are seen
as ways to allow
wildlife and plants
to spread across
natural landscapes
that have been cut
into pieces by
roads, development,
logging or other
land disturbances.


News
From The
Watershed

Corine Burgess


This "cutting into pieces" is
referred to as fragmentation.
The dangers to wildlife are
plentiful when this occurs.
One of the negative effects of
fragmentation is that it dra-
matically decreases the diver-
sity of wildlife. It is critical to
many species to have large
areas of habitat for a variety
of reasons such as migration
patterns, species dispersion
and gene flow. The'corridors
allow animals to find new
resources and prevent isola-
tion of species.


Studies have
shown that wild areas
connected by corri-
dors have more
wildlife or greater
biodiversity than dis-
connected fragments.
There is some con-
cern about corridors
entrapping some
wildlife species, since
predators can more
easily find their prey
in a narrow strip of
habitat. For that rea-


son, the wider the corridor,
the better.
In most situations,
landowners creating corridors
may want to consider a design
that is edge feathered, which
includes zones of grasses,
shrubs and trees all in the
same corridor. The center of
the corridor would be planted
with trees, with strips of
shrubs on each side, bordered
on the outside by zones of
grasses and legumes. This
combination offers habitat for
wildlife that may use all three


types for food and cover, as
well as wildlife that needs
only one of the habitat types.
Many species have either
disappeared or been drastical-
ly reduced in number because
of habitat fragmentation. It is
important to look to the future
for the purposes of including
these wildlife corridors in
land management planning. If
we want to enable wildlife to
exist along side of develop-
ment, it is essential that future
planning include these areas
in an effort to allow wild ani-
mals and vegetation a place to
travel and exist.
It is critical that species are
allowed to move to new areas
and travel to provide for their
needs regarding diet, repro-
duction and protection. Their
survival depends on it.

wildlife habitat, check the

Riparian, or streamside, plantings of trees, shrubs and
grasses make excellent connecting corridors. They can some-
times be a wildlife oasis in a sea of crop fields.

Dragons seal one over McKeel

Teamwork pays off after Veley goes down


By DAN HOEHNE

LAKE PLACID Seeking
to move up in the district
standings, Lake Placid took a
step in that direction Friday
night with a 67-61 over the
visiting Wildcats of McKeel
Academy though it was a
slightly hobbled step.
Hobbled, though all the
more impressive, in that lead-
ing scorer and go-to-guy
Conlin Veley was felled by a
sprained ankle from
the 3:45 mark of the Lake
third quarter until just
1:28 remained in the 6
game. Mc
At the time he went
down the Dragons held
a 42-31 lead which was v
quickly cut by two
after a pair of Terrell Jones
free throws.
But not to be quelled by
Veley's absence, Lake Placid
soon found other options.
First on a feed down low to
Travalier Sholtz for an inside
bucket and then from none
other than Veley's younger
brother, Kirk, who then
canned a three-pointer to up
the lead to 47-33.
This had been after a first
half in which the Dragons
held a steady single-digit lead
that stood at 28-25 at the
intermission.
They came out in a big way
to open the second half with
Veley dunking an alley-oop
pass from Marcus Waugh fol-
lowed by a steal and layup
from Bebo LeGree.


After a free throw from
Wildcat Brad Bozeman,
LeGree drained a triple but
that was matched from down-
town by Jones.
Veley then drove for two
and after a Bozeman score,
Sholtz converted a three-point
play and got a nice feed from
Jonathan Simons for another
deuce just before Veley went
down.
After then upping the lead
to 14, McKeel started to amp

up the comeback bid.
Cornelius Toney hit
a jumper and after a
K.J. Delbert free
throw, Jones hit a
three, Bozeman drove
and Toney laid one in
to cut the lead to 48-


But Andre Wilson canned a
free throw and LeGree closed
out the third with another trey
and the lead was back to 10.
The Wildcats were not
about to be tamed yet, howev-
er, as the comeback bid came
on strong again in the fourth.
Bozeman got inside for two
and after Wilson hit a short,
baseline jumper, Toney hit
from downtown and Jones
drove the lane.
LeGree then hit two techni-
cal foul shots and Delbert got
a nice feed from Sholtz for
two before Kirk Veley stole
one and drove to keep the
lead safe at 60-49 for the
moment.
And it seemed just a

Lady Blue Streak Michelle Bash looks to be struggling, but
had little trouble getting this clean-and-jerk up, helping her
to a second-place finish at the sub-sectional to advance to
the Jan. 24 sectional at Port Charlotte.

News-Sun correspondent
SEBRING Sebring host-
ed the Section 7 qualifying
meet on Saturday where
LaBelle, DeSoto. Hardee,
Avon Park, Lake Placid and
the Lady Blue Steaks vied
to qualify for the sectional
meet Jan. 24.
Each of the six schools
were allowed to have two
girls in each weight class
compete, with the top three
in each weight class moving
on.
Nineteen girls from
Highlands County will be
making the trip after this


day was done.
In the 101-pound weight
class, Sebring's Samary
Camuy took first by a whop-
ping 35 pounds with a com-
bined 165 pounds.
Sebring came in first
again in the 110-pound
weight class with Jennifer
Waldon lifting 170 pounds,
while Lake Placid's Jerica
Worley was third with 145.
At 119 pounds, first place

Ashley Waldon took third
with 200 pounds to advance.
Lady Red Devil Zakia
Hart came in first in the

Sebring's Karley Freeland
took second with 205
pounds and third went to
Avon Park's Nicole Allison
with 200 pounds, after a tie
and a lower weigh in.
Desoto's Mary Price came
in first at 139 pounds with
250 lifted. Lady Blue Streak

second and Lady Green

And Another
Thing...
Dan Hoehne

Rebounds just

aren't adding up

I don't mean to make light of
either Shaquille O'Neal or Yao
Ming, both of whom I am a
huge fan.
But when I see stat lines that
say one of them had a double-
double, I am usually left want-
ing.
Yao goes for 36 points and
12 rebounds, and I'm supposed
to be impressed?
Shaq scorees 32 and hauls
down 11 rebounds (not this
year of course, just pick a game
from way back when) and
that's supposed to be a great
game?
Give me Wilt scoring 50-
something and coralling 55
rebounds.
Or Bill Russell scoring 19
and nabbing 51 rebounds.
Granted, especially in Wilt's
case, he was a man among
boys, a freak of height, size and
athleticism that was unheard of
in his era.
But even at 7-foot, 1-inch
tall, there were some players in
the 6-9 to 6-10 range, so it's not
as if he was playing against
guys that came up to his waist.
And Russell was one of
those 6-9 guys, so his totals in
rebounds were all the more
impressive.
Because the thing is, if you
break it down, the modern-day
rebounding totals aren't all that
impressive.
Gather 12 rebounds in a
game and all that means is you
were able to get three rebounds
every quarter.
At 7-foot. 6-inches, Yao tow-
ers over most centers at least as
much so as Chamberlain did.
With that in mind. you'd
think he'd get three rebounds
by accident each quarter.
In Friday night's Bulls-
Sixers game, there were 92
missed shots between the two
teams, showing just how many
rebounds there are to be had.
During Shaq's prime, he did-
n't exactly tower over his fel-
low 7-footers, but he certainly
did power over them.
To the tune of 11.5 rebounds
as his career average.
So the great Shaq-Fu, on
average, didn't even manage
three rebounds each quart er.
Of the current league lead-
ers. only four players are aver-
aging 12 rebounds or more -
Dwight Howard at 15.2.
Marcus Camby with 13.9,

Sebring Seniors enjoy new facilities over season's first two days


Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING Tuesday,
January 8, marked a huge
milestone for the Sebring
Senior Softball League
games.
It was the beginning of the
League's use of the new
Highlands County Sports
Complex in Sebring.
At 9 a.m. more than one
hundred players had arrived
and were anxiously trying to
locate their designated areas.
When the time for "let's
play ball" came, eight teams
began to play simultaneously
on four fields, a first-time-
ever for the League to be
gathered in one place.
There had been reorganiz-
ing of the teams with added
players and new managers.
Royal Palms came up with
a good season start by defeat-
ing Reflections 8-5.
Palms' Bob Fox belted out
a homer, and was responsible
for 3 RBI.
Teammates helping the


score were Bob MacCarrick
with a triple while Don
Thomas and Doug Hammond
each had a double.
Reflections' Bill Yeager
had three hits and the rest of
the team showed good defen-
sive backing.
Stan Turl's Rebels came out
on top with an 11-3 win over
Silent Salesman despite
Salesman's Harley Smith hit-
ting his first triple of the sea-
son.
The Rebels demonstrated
unexpected muscle-power
with Elwood Black hitting
three-for-three, and Tom
(Moose) Morrissette three-
for-three with a three-RBI
homer.
The real thriller of the game
was Fred Boyd belting a
grand slam.
The Klingons hung on to a
winning score of 19-5 against
the Highlands Independent
Bank Sebring.
HIBS seemed to hit directly


to the Klingons players and
Klingons hit to areas where
the Bankers weren't, making
for the lopsided score.
Klingons' Don Day had
four hits.
HIBS could boast of an out-
standing running catch in left
field by Harold Huff.
Aluminum Discount was
happy to acquire three new
players this season, which
attributed to a victory of 26-
13 over Highlands
Independent Bank Avon Park.
They reported "no heroes
and no goats" although man-
ager Leslie Smith belted out


four-for-four,
triples.
Thursday's

including three

games brought
wider scoring
as the Rebels
Highlands
Bank Sebring


Their hot bats brought in
five runs before the first out
was made in two separate


innings.
Tony Caristo hit four for
four with a home run.
Elwood Black and Stan
Turl went three for four each
with a home run.
Tom Morrissette was four-
for-four, Gary Mattis three-
for-four with a double, and
Don Purdy three-for-four with
a triple.
HIBS started out with an
early lead of 9-1, but after the
sixth inning, the Rebels
closed the book on the Bank.
An honorable mention goes
to Harold Huff, 83 years
young, hitting four-for-five
including a home run, plus
another great catch in the out-
field.
Paul DuBrule and Bob
Binegar each went four-for-
five.
Silent Salesman came up
with a 16-11 victory over
Aluminum Discount after
falling behind 10-3 in the first
two innings of play.


Aluminum Discount began
the game in A-1 shape, scor-
ing five runs in the first and
second innings.
Then the Salesman put the
squeeze on them, battling for
the win and almost shut them
down.
Leslie Smith and Paul
Stevenson had three hits each.
Coming up big for the
Salesman was Mike Jurmu
going four-for-four including
a triple, and Jerry Johnston
having four-for-four with a
double Richard Godfrey hit
three-for-four.
Several good defensive
plays were made and good
pitching by Leo Lypps and
Harley. Smith contributed to
the come-from-behind win.
Royal Palms blasted
Highlands Independent Bank
Avon Park with a 15-2 score.
The Palms' Bob Floodine
thumped out a home run and
was responsible for five RBI
in the game.


Charlie Quinn hit a triple
and three RBI and Bob Fox
had three solid hits. with three
RBIs.
Helping the HIBAP team
was David Crotser with three
hits.
Reflections outshined the
Klingons with a score of 23-5.
Reflections scores included
Ed Lindberg-hitting four for
four with a homer.
Three hits each were credit-
ed to- Brian Pluta, Ron Lewis,
Dan Webb and Harry Bell.
John Kloet whipped out
two hits with a home run.
These were two enjoyable
days in the. new Complex
facilities.
Games are played each
Tuesday and Thursday at 10
a.m.
Spectators are encouraged
to come and watch the Seniors
exhibit their softball skills.
Bleachers are available, but
you may want to bring a lawn
chair for comfort.

Third place went to Lexi

fouled moments later, he

Waugh added one more for
the final margin.
"The guys just really
stepped up," head coach Levi
Williams said. "We were a lot
more patient in the second
half, which we've been work-
ing on all year, and Bebo made
some huge three's for us."
The team will have a week
off to heal and prepare for a
big district matchup with
Frostproof on Friday.
"It's about the eighth time
I've sprained it," Veley said.
"But with the week off, I'll be
ready to play."
Something his coach is cer-
tainly thankful for.
"Thank God for the week
off," Williams said. "We're 3-

Chris Kaman at 13.8 and Al
Jefferson at an even 12.
That's four guys who are
getting three per quarter, and
none averaging even four.
Dennis Rodman, at 6-7,
averaged 13.1 for his career
and I'll say I'm impressed by
that.
Even more impressive, to
me, is Charles Barkley, who
averaged 11.7 rebounds per
game.
That's .2 more than Shaq has
for his career (and his injury
woes at this tail-end of his
career likely will drop his totals
a bit lower), and that was as a
6-6 power forward.
Although, talk to anyone
with knowledge of the NBA
and you'll soon find that the
'Round Mound of Rebound'
was actually a lot closer to 6-4.
Don't try to make me excited
about a double-double.
Wait until a guy gets a 20-20
before bothering me with it.
On a side-note, I find it
funny that ESPN, among other
sports media, talks about the
'scandal' that was the trip to
Mexico that Cowboy quarter-
back Tony Romo took with his
main squeeze, Jessica Simpson.
To my knowledge, the only
people who bothered to even
make mention of it were those
same sports media.
Sounds kind of like a 'Wag
the Dog' scenario, with the
media creating their own scan-
dal so they have a scandal to
talk about.

want to teach them that when
they put in the hard work and
play the game well, that they
have a right to win."

Real estate

Protecting your

investment

For most homeowners.
their real estate invest-
ment plays a critical role
in their overall financial
strategies of maintaining
balanced portfolios.
Rising prices, increased
values and creative
financing have each driv-
en up the stakes in buying
a home, making real
estate contracts more
important than ever.
In short, the one-size-
fits-all forms that can be
found on the Internet and
in office supply stores
rarely suit the disparate
needs of today's buyers
and sellers-meaning
more homeowners are opt-
ing for customized real
estate contracts to protect
one of their most impor-
tant investments.
Although these special-
ly drawn real estate con-
tracts contain mostly stan-
dard legal language, spe-
cial attention should be
paid to the contingencies,
or conditions, under
which the house is being
bought. A lot of money
can be lost over the

Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers encourages consumers to learn about loan program


Special to the News-Sun
TALLAHASSEE
Homeownership is one of the
key steps to financial security
and the realization of the
"American Dream." For most
people, buying a home is the
single most important finan-
cial decision that they will
ever make. The Florida
Association of Mortgage
Brokers would like to make
sure consumers are aware that
a wide variety of loan pro-
grams exist and that con-
sumers will ultimately be the
ones to choose which loan
program they will use.
Prior to making that deci-
sion, the FAMB recommends
that borrowers discuss all
appropriate program options
in detail with their mortgage
professional such as FAMB
members who subscribe to a
strict code of ethics.
Consumers and their mort-
gage professionals need to
consider factors such as how
long they intend to live in the
home, how much money they
have for a down payment and
whether the consumer is look-
ing for consistency or flexi-
bility with their mortgage
payment before making a
final decision. It is extremely
important for consumers to


CONTRACTS
Continued from 1

"minor details" if they're not
clearly written into the con-
tract.
Your attorney can guide
you through your contract,
spelling out in proper
legalese the exact terms
under which you will buy the
home and making sure
those terms are legally
enforceable.
The basic elements of a
contract include:
Purchase price-it may
not be your final offer, but it
should be realistic.
Full names of buyers
and sellers, plus their marital
status.
Address and proper legal
description of the property.
Earnest money deposit,
usually 3 percent to 5 percent
of the purchase price placed
into an escrow account after
the home inspection contin-
gencies have been met.
Closing costs and who
pays them.
Amount of commission
paid to Realtor.
Bill of sale that
describes and itemizes any
exchange of personal proper-
ty.
Date and place of clos-
ing.
Date the seller will
vacate the home.
Responsibility for pay-
ment of utilities until you
take possession.
But when it comes to con-


understand that a fixed rate
mortgage is one where the
interest rate stays the same
throughout the life of the loan
while an adjustable rate mort-
gage means that the interest
rate will begin at one level
and adjust to higher rate at a
predetermined intervals
throughout the life of the
loan.
While the actual choice of
loan program options depends
on the lender, some of the
most popular choices are:
* 30-Year Fixed Rate The
monthly payment and interest
rate are the same for 30 years.
A 30-Year Fixed Rate plan
offers unmatched stability;
consumers know what their
financial obligations are for
the next 30 years. Also,
because this is a 30-year time
period instead of a 15-year
time period, monthly pay-
ments will be more modest
compared to shorter payment
plan.
* 15-Year Fixed Rate The
monthly payment and interest
rate are the same for 15 years.
Like the 30- Year Fixed Rate,
the 15 year model offers the
consumer stability. However,
consumers will be on a much
more ambitious monthly pay-
ment schedule with a 15-Year
Fixed Rate plan than a 30-


tingencies, consult your real
estate attorney to ensure you
have included all applicable
to your specific sale.
Common contingencies
include:
Financing contingency.
This makes the deal depend-
ent upon your receiving the
mortgage you're applying
for, specifying cancellation
rights and return of earnest i,
money deposit if you can't
arrange adequate or accept-
able financing
Home inspection. If you
are not satisfied with the
home's inspection report, this
clause covers your right to
force the seller to make
repairs and/or lower the price
of the home or you can
opt out of the contract.
Home sale contingency.
Allows a specific timeframe
for you to sell your current
home.
Clear title. The seller has
to give you a clear and mar-
ketable title to the property.
Appraisal contingency.
Gives the buyer the option to
terminate the contract if the
lender's appraisal of the
property is lower than the
purchase price.
Return of earnest
money. Should the transac-
tion collapse through no fault
of your own i.e., you
don't get the loan or the sell-
er can't or won't meet one of
your contingencies this
clause says you get your
deposit money back.
Liability for fire or other
hazards. If something hap-


Year Fixed Rate.
* 3-Year Adjustable Rate -
The monthly payment and
interest rate are the same for
three years. Beginning in the
fourth year, the monthly pay-
ment and interest rate may
rise every year for the rest of
the loan period. The key to a
3-Year Adjustable Rate
Mortgage is to get your fiscal
house in order well before the
first adjustment and refi-
nance. These loans are riskier
than other loans, but be a
viable option for many people
when utilized correctly.
* 1-Year Adjustable Rate -
The monthly payment and
interest rate are the same for
the first year of the mortgage
and then may rise at a pre-
determined interval there-
after. It is important to make
sure that you are capable of
meeting the monthly payment
when the interest rate adjusts
and work with your mortgage
originator to figure out a way
to refinance accordingly.
* 5-Year Balloon Mortgage -
The monthly payment and
interest rate are the same for
five years. At the end of the
fifth year, the loan is due in
full, which means the borrow-
er must refinance into a new
loan program if they are stay-
ing in the home, or sell the
home and pay the loan bal-


pens to the house after the
contract has been signed but
before you actually move in,
this clause protects you from
liability.
Items that do or do not
come with the house, which
can include anything from
lawn furniture to special
lamp fixtures. If there is
something that the buyer
wants to go with the house, it
should be put in writing and
included in the contract.
Remember, every contin-
gency, no matter who origi-
nated it, should have a defi-
nite timeframe. Also, because
verbal agreements are not
recognized in Florida, be
sure to have your real estate
attorney write everything into
the purchase contract, which
is a legally binding docu-
ment.
Finally, don't be pressured
into signing a contract that
your real estate attorney has
not thoroughly reviewed and
revised.

Now is the


time to


invest in


real estate

The cost of living is higher
than ever, there's weakness in
the job market, stocks are in a
free-fall and the housing mar-
ket is in a slump. Sounds like
a bad time to be a real estate
investor, or is it?
According to G. William
Barnett II, author of "Are You
Dumb Enough to Be Rich?"
from AMACOM Books,
exactly the opposite is true.
"These are the times smart
real estate investors live for.
There's more money to be
made in chaos than at any
other time, and no other
investment strategy has creat-
ed more millionaires than real
estate," he says.
In the just released second
edition of his book, Barnett,
who has more than a decade
of experience in real estate
investing, has added chapters
that lay out his strategies for
being successful in the cur-
rent marketplace. The key, he
says, is knowing how to deci-
pher not only -which markets,
to invest in,,but which neigh-
borhoods hold the key to
wealth.
"One of the greatest frus-
trations I had early in my
career was reading about
places where great things
were happening, but not hav-
ing the confidence to take
advantage of them," says
Barnett, who still regrets not
investing in Hawaii back in
the late 1990s when the crash
of the Japanese stock market
sent housing prices into a free
fall. "Back then, I told my
wife we have to invest in
Hawaii. She said, 'No, we
don't know anything about
that market.' If I had known
then what I know now, boy
would I be better off."
Barnett has spent the past
decade finessing an invest-
ment strategy he calls "Hot
Mapping," which is outlined
in the new edition. "Basically
it's a business overlay that
you can apply to any market
in the U.S. to identify the
areas in that market you
should be investing in,' he
explains.
Here's a brief synopsis of
how it works. Step one is to
establish a market's median


amount of options out there
for consumers," said Ritch
Workman, President of the
FAMB. "Ultimately, the
choice will be up to the con-
sumer. It is important that
they become experts on these
choices and mortgage profes-


sionals are there to help in
that process."

Be Rich?', says the real estate market in Central Florida and
San Diego areas are prime right now.


price, which you can do with
the help of resources on the
Internet. Next you'll want to
purchase two maps. One elec-
tronic, the other a 6-by-6-foot
map that covers the town or
county you want to invest in.
Step three will be to break
down the market from a pric-
ing standpoint using color
coding.
"Once you finish making
your map, pick up the classi-
fieds and start adding pins
representing each of the
homes for sale. This tech-
nique gets you to the point
where you can just pick up the
phone, call an agent and tell
them exactly which subdivi-
sion you want to look at and
how much you're willing to
pay. You're in essence equip-
ping the agent to do a great
job for you," says Barnett.
In "Are You Dumb Enough
to Be Rich?," Barnett offers
other strategies for making a
fortune in real estate, includ-
ing instructions on how to
find and take ownership of
troubled properties before
they go into foreclosure and
how to move faster than your
competition when it comes to
getting your hands on lists of
already foreclosed properties


the banks and mortgage com-
panies want to sell.
As for the housing markets
Barnett likes best right now,
he says number one is Las
Vegas, which currently has
$10 billion worth of commer-
cial construction going on and
will soon have a demand for
thousands of new employees.
He also likes San Diego,
which due to this summer's
fires doesn't have enough
housing to meet its citizens'
needs; and Central Florida
which thanks to the Disney
empire will always have room
for growth.
"Real estate is cyclical.
Before you know it, the econ-
omy will recover and banks
and mortgage companies will
once again become more cre-
ative in their lending prac-
tices. Then there will be
another string of foreclosures,
and smart investors like you
will be lined up to help clean
up the mess," says Barnett.
The second edition of "Are
You Dumb Enough to Be
Rich?" is available for pur-
chase at bookstores nation-
wide or visit www.amacom

tion.

FHA: Old mortgage


program finding new life


The sky is falling, the sky
is falling! Or so you would
think if you listened to all the
news coverage about the
mortgage market. The news is
filled with reports of declin-
ing home values, resetting
adjustable-rate mortgages and
people feeling the pinch of
tightened credit.
However, despite the doom
and gloom, much of the media
haven't reported on the
proverbial silver linings in the
storm clouds. One of the
bright spots is the resurgence
in popularity of a loan pro-
gram that has been around
since the 1930s the Federal
Housing Administration
(FHA) loan.
Historically used almost
exclusively by consumers to
purchase their first home
because of its low down pay-
ment requirements and com-
petitive rates, FHA loans are
making a comeback and
quickly gaining prominence
among those looking to refi-
nance as well.
"A large number of people
are really benefiting from the
FHA loan program, and what
is most interesting is many of
them have just recently been
turned down for more tradi-
tional conventional loans,"


says Bob Walters, chief econ-
omist for Quicken Loans, one
of the nation's largest mort-
gage lenders. "This program
isn't the answer for everyone,
but we have found that it can
be a very viable option for
many people."
According to Walters, FHA
loans are being used by con-
sumers for cash-out refinanc-
ings, or to consolidate debt up
to 95 percent of the home's
value moves that are
extremely difficult and often
not financially practical to
make with current conven-
tional lending guidelines.
"Through the first half of
2007, homeowners had no
problem making their mort-
gages work for them.
However, since that time,
tighter lending guidelines
have resulted in many loan
programs being taken off the
table. Fortunately, FHA loans
can fill some of the void.
When used responsibly, FHA
loans can provide much-need-
ed relief. Every day, we help
clients purchase homes, pay
off medical expenses, elimi-
nate high-interest credit card
debt and generally improve
their financial position
through the FHA program,"
Walters adds.


Homekeys expands technology-driven, real estate

services model to serve nearly all of Florida


\' "


Many families find help
through FHA loans.

Consumers are also finding
that in some instances, FHA
loans can close very quickly,
in less than 14 business days
in some cases.
"The bottom line is that
FHA loans are an option for
many folks, but not for every-
one. It is very important that
every homeowner consult
with a reputable lender who
will listen to their needs and
goals, and then suggest the
best mortgage for them. In
some cases it could be an
FHA loan, and in others it
may be a conventional fixed
or adjustable rate mortgage.
What is important is that the
loan actually works for the
consumer and puts them in
the best possible financial
position," Walters concludes.

FHA loans, visit

Homeowners in 50 Florida counties can
now save half or more of the real estate
commission when selling their homes

MIAMI Homekeys has expanded its sell-
er service areas to reach three quarters of the
state of Florida. The Florida-based real estate
company previously offered home buyer
rebates throughout the entire sunshine state
and seller services in 26 Florida counties. The
service area expansion extends the company's
seller offerings to 24 additional counties for a
total of 50 Florida counties served.
Property taxes, insurance and Florida
"homes for sale" inventory have increased
while transaction volume and the availability
of mortgage financing have decreased. The
Homekeys expansion comes in response to
hundreds of requests from Florida residents
looking for relief. "By expanding our service
areas, Homekeys is able to help more Florida
homeowners save at least half the money they
would normally pay in commission when they
sell their home," says Manuel Iraola, president
and chief executive officer of Homekeys.
The team at Homekeys believes in offering
sellers the broadest range of exposure and
assistance options when it comes to selling
their homes. "Each individual is unique and
has different needs. They should be able to
determine the level of involvement they wish
to have in the selling process, without having
to sacrifice-service for savings," adds Iraola.
The company offers "hands on" sellers flat fee
listings in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS),
Realtor.com and a myriad of other real estate
Web sites for as little as $269. Sellers that
desire more assistance can select the


Homekeys Seller's Advantage(tm) program
which provides enrollees full service for only
$69 plus 1 percent commission at closing, if
they are willing to simply show their own
property. And, those who need it, can also opt
for traditional full service.
Homekeys' service offerings, along with the
free information, tools and resources available
on the homekeys.net website provide what is
arguably the most comprehensive solution
available to Florida home sellers who are
seeking control in the real estate transaction
and who want to save money. "By combining
innovative tools and technology with the serv-
ices people need, Homekeys delivers real
value at an extremely low price point," Iraola
said. "We feel that Homekeys is the best alter-
native for sellers who want to take charge of
their real estate transactions, get better results
and preserve the equity that's lost through high
transaction costs."
Homekeys' expansion adds their seller
offerings to the following Florida counties:
Highlands, Alachua, Bradford, Calhoun,
Citrus, Escambia, Flagler, Franklin, Gulf,
Hardee, Hernando, Holmes, Jackson,
Jefferson, Leon, Marion, Monroe, Okaloosa,
Santa Rosa, St. Johns, Wakulla, Walton and
Washington.

HomeXperts Inc., which does business as
Homekeys, is a South-Florida based developer,
integrator and distributor of innovative Web-
based content, applications and resources for
the real estate market. The company offers
Floridians more ways to buy and sell, all backed
by Homekeys' innovative technology and servic-
es.
