Code violations

one aftermath of

grow house busts
* Third in a series of stories on the
ripple effect left by the recent string of
marijuana grow house busts in
Highlands County.

LAKE 'PLACID The code
enforcement process is the same for
everybody whether they neglected
their property, abandoned it or were
arrested during a marijuana grow
house warrant search.
When a house becomes a code viola-
tion, a notice of violation is issued and
the offender is given up to 30 days to
fix the problem.
After that "reasonable time," if the
resident or homeowner hasn't com-
plied, the county seeks bids to cut the
grass or otherwise correct the viola-
tion. A special magistrate hearing is
scheduled for 30 days after the original
deadline.
"We're always trying to get these
cases through and cleaned up as quick
as possible," April Hartseil, code
enforcement supervisor, said, explain-
ing due process must be followed and

County officials are posting code
enforcement citations such as this to
former marijuana grow houses across
the county. County enforcement offi-
cers have a heads-up on potential
nuisance cases due residents or own-
ers being arrested or fleeing because
they're notified when such operations
are taking place.

Private sector plays

role in war on drugs

Marijuana grow houses- steal mil-
lions of dollars in electricity every
year throughout Florida, said Paul
McGehee, business development man-
ager for Glades Electric Cooperative.
"We're talking big numbers,"
McGehee said of the 61 operations that
have been dismantled in Highlands
County since November 2006.
A given operation, based on the size
of the house and the extent of cultiva-
tion, steals several thousands of dollars
per month, some as much as $6,000.
Using conservative numbers -. 45
grow house busts in 2007 and $3,000
in stolen electricity and simple
math, the losses easily exceed
$135,000 annually.

Prescription for healthy health care system is possible


* Second in a two-part series
about the problems with Medicare
and their possible solutions.

By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@ newssun.coiii
Perhaps surprisingly; individu-
als shaping health care policy in
this country are in general agree-
ment about solutions to many of
the problems interfering with
health care delivery.
They also agree they see no col-
lective national support for any
particular plan or program yet, but
do see a rising public interest and
concern about the issue.
Certainly no solution will be
possible without the agreement
and cooperation of many key
groups, the patients and the
providers of care being first
among them.
Because Medicare is a closed,

years, however, have been only
small shifts on the margins, not
the dramatic, wholesale, radical
change John Rother, policy direc-
tor-for the American Association

The keys to a better health care
system, he said, are care, commu-
nication and coordination.
Uwe Rheinhardt, an economist
at Princeton University who spe-
cializes in medical issues, agrees.
While using Medicare to make
his point, Rheinhardt said that the
importance of quality care and a
coordinated approach apply to all
health care systems, not just
Medicare.
For example, like health care in
general, Medicare coverage is
uneven.
"We find that states with high
Medicare spending have lower
quality care. This negative rela-
tionship may be driven by the use
of intensive, costly care that

Couple document history

of Sebring in new book


By MATT MURPHY
matt.murphy@newssuh.com
SEBRING Although
SSebring is a relatively young
city, dating back to the
1920s, the town has enjoyed
a rich history.
Susan and Randall
MacDonald wanted to docu-
ment that history, and they
did so in their new book
"Sebring," which is now on
sale.
Susan grew up in Sebring,
and her interest in doing the
book came from her family
history.
"My father always called
Sebring his adopted home,
and I just kind of did this as
a labor of love for my father
and his memory,"
Susan said. "Even
though I'm from
Sebring. I wasn't
familiar with the his-
tory of the town."
The MacDonalds'
127-page book is full
of photographs gath- Si
ered from the collec- Mac
tion of Carol Goad at
the Sebring Historical
Society. The pictures docu-
ment the early years of
Sebring, as do the captions
that run underneath them.
The couple went through
almost 800 photographs
before narrowing them down
to 225, and the process led to
some "very interesting dis-
cussions," Randall said. In
the process, the couple was
able to learn a great deal
about the history of Sebring
and put it in a book that will
transfer that knowledge to
others.
"It's not that we have a
great wealth of information
that we carried around with
us," Randall said. "We were
finding clues in publications
in historical societies and old
newspapers from the 1920s
on. Through photographs,
we're sharing what we found
in a way that people can pick

This protest is of the silent,
dignified, prayerful type.
There will not be any intdrac-
tion with the traffic.
The technique used is sim-
ilar to the nationwide life

It is intended to be an
inter-faith activity. All

All congregations that
share the view that abortion
is evil and contrary to God's
law are invited to join in this
common cause.
Sponsored by Coalition for
Life, Leadership-Highlands
County, all people of good
will who can support this


up the book and say 'I didn't
know this.'"
With the book finished, the
publicity tour now begins,
and Susan will be signing
books at the Sebring
Historical Society's luncheon
meeting at noon Saturday at
the Sebring Civic Center.
Copies of the book can be
bought at the Sebring
Historical Society, and copies
'can also be ordered online
through arcadapublishing.
com or amazon.com. A share
of the proceeds from the
book will be donated back to
the historical society.
Susan said she made
around 20 trips from
Lakeland to Sebring last
summer looking
through the pictures
and scanning them for
the book. The
MacDonalds did the
bulk of the work on
the book over the
summer, and in that
usan time they also gath'-
Donald ered information from
a variety' of other
sources, including old micro-
film copies of the Sebring
White Way, which was
Sebring's first newspaper and
eventually became today's
News-Sun.
The couple examined sev-
eral other sources other than
photographs, including the
memoirs of John Newcombe,
one of Sebring's earliest resi-
dents, and the records of
Allen Altvater and Milt
Baker. In fact, it was Baker,
who owned a general store in
Sebring's early years, who
took many of the pictures
featured in the book.
"It was so much fun to
become so immersed in his-
tory," Susan said. "It was
hard to come back into the
21st century."
For Randall, the fun came
in finding out detaiks about

In investigating that histo-

"When George Sebring
came, he had a plan all ready

SEBRING Spotted on

The couple submitted a pro-
posal to Arcadia Publishing,
which had already published
a series of similar "Images of

towns around the country,
including Sebring, Ohio, the
town founded by George
Sebring before he moved to
Florida.
"Sebring" was the cou-
ple's second book together.
They co-wrote a library ref-
erence book in 2001 that
instructed students on how to
perform keyword searches on
the Internet.
Now that the couple has
completed their book on
Sebring, Susan knows one
long-time resident who
would have approved of her
hard work.

mainly out of love for him,"
she said. "If he were alive, he
would be si, proud of this

Two accidents in Avon Park injure 4


By ED BALDRIDGE
News-Sun correspondent
AVON PARK Two vehi-
cles and three individuals
were involved in an accident
Friday afternoon that left one
person trapped and all three
injured.
According to the Florida
Highway Patrol, at about 1:20
p.m., Ernest Woods of Avon
Park left his driveway at the
corner of Taunton Road and
Olivia Drive, heading east,
and ran the stop sign at the
intersection.
Beatrice and Efran Ospina
of Orlando were heading
north on Olivia Drive when
they struck Woods' Cadillac
in the side and wedged the
vehicle into the culvert at the
northeast corner of the inter-
section.
Rescue workers had to dig
around the vehicle with shov-
els and remove the passenger
door with the Jaws of Life to
extract Woods from the vehi-
cle.
All three individuals suf-
fered injuries, and all were
taken to the hospital, but none
of the injuries were reported
as life threatening.
A few hours earlier, emer-
gency workers responded to a
single3vehicle accident on
U.S. 27 just south of the Polk
County Line.
A vehicle belonging to
Stephanie Nicole Casey of
Frostproof flipped several
times and landed right side up
on the northbound side of

Highlands Homeless Coalition asking for donation of car for mother of 4


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.com
SEBRING She has four chil-
dren and a job but lacks a car and
she's effectively homeless, living in
a shelter for battered women.
The Highlands County Coalition
for the Homeless is looking to recti-
fy.her vehicle situation.
"Her biggest struggle is she is not
able to find transportation to work


and to and from the grocery store,"
said Richard Reinhardt, the
Coalition's executive director.
Because the woman is a domestic
violence victim, Reinhardt couldn't
reveal her identity.
He said the Coalition works with
shelters because living there is a
form,- of homelessness.
Compounding matter, Reinhardt said


battered women suffer from low self
worth, having been beaten up men-
tally as much as physically.
"We need to help them as much as
possible," he said.
The independence gained by hav-
ing a car would be a step forward for
the family he's trying to help.
Reinhardt pointed out that 100
percent of donattions are used to help


clients, and he's willing to open his
books to anybody,'wanting to verify
the claim.
"If somebody gives us $500 we
can tell them where every. penny
went," Reinhardt said.
And, anybody able to donate a
vehicle (or vehicles) can tell the IRS
that every penny of its value is a
deduction.


Noting that state of mass trans-
portation in the county, Reinhardt
said he's .working with other agen-
cies to create a new transitional
housing program that would include
a pool of vehicles to shuttle clients
around town.
"We have a huge lack of public
transportation in this, community,"
he said.


Forbidden love gets Sebring


teen in trouble with the law


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.coni
LAKE .PLACID A
Sebring teenager went to jail
Thursday in a case of forbid-
den love.
Jorge Emmanuel Martinez,
19, is accused of lewd battery,
according to a Highlands
County Sheriff Office report,
for a relationship with a Lake
Placid girl three years his jun-
ior that allegedly become sex-
ual.
He was 17 when he met the
14-year-old at bible school
the summer' of -2006, Det,
Douglas Klemm said in his
report.
Their relationship included
secret rendezvous, the victim
sneaking out .of her parents'
home to see Martinez.


When her parents found
out, they forbade the two
from seeing each other.
"They notified both the
defendant and the defendant's
parents of their desire not to
have any contact between the
defendant anrd victim,"
Klemm's report said. "The
sexual relationship continued
... despite the wishes of both
parents."
It continued when he left
for college in Tampa. Their
affair blossomed through
secret phone calls and the
Internet.
"The victim indicated she
was feeling confined by her
parents' refusal to allow her
to attend public school or par-
ticipate in activities consis-


tent with other L .
people her
age." the
in vestiga tor
said.
She wanted acceptance. He
showered her with attention.
Their physical relationship
grew from groping to oral
sex, the report said.
According to Klemm, the-
girl said Martinez initiated all
sexual activity through coer-
cion and enticement.
Their final sexual
encounter was Oct. 31, 2006,
in some woods near the girl's
home two days after the sus-
pect's birthday.
He told her "she had not
given him anything for his
birthday," Klemm said.

Hotel Jacaranda, the Samich

a record amount, $3,150.
The entire amount, includ-

Dewberry was so


impressed by the communi-

citizens given a chance to rec-
tify the problem. "We have to
be equal and fair to every-
one."
The addition of a magis-
trate to preside over nuisance
abatement cases has stream-
lined the process, but Hartseil
said improving is an ongoing
effort.
Leisure Lakes resident
Nancy Reaney complained
about two nuisance properties
resultant from a county-wide
sting on marijuana growing.
She first contacted code
enforcement in June, a month
after homes at 1053 and 1055
Winter Green in Lake Placid
were raided, their occupants
jailed.
It wasn't until November
the grass was cut, and even
then Reaney thought a better
job could have been done.
One of the reasons she
complained was debris in the
yard, pulled from within the
homes during the search. The
deputies left it there after a
long day of searching, seizing
and arresting.
Before a code violation
case is opened, initiating the
two-month process, grass
must grow to 18 inches.
Hartseil pointed out that, at
the time of the May 15 busts,
the grass was freshly mowed.
She would know this
because the Highlands
County Sheriff's Office noti-
fies the code enforcement and
building departments in
advance of a raid, allowing
them to build a database of
potential violator and make
routine checkups.
Reaney and friend Pat
Locke agreed the homes were
better maintained before the
busts.
Though they're happy with
the arrests, they're now ask-
ing for special consideration
in addressing these types of
eyesores to prevent their
neighborhood from becoming
blighted and, potentially, a
haven for transients> ''""'
The- debris left,,by Jdeputies
was eventually cleaned up by
one of the homeowners, who
simply piled it up at the
adjoining vacant property.
HCSO staff attorney Mike
Durham called the attorney
for the owner of the property
(who hasn't been directly
linked to the grow operation
in his h6use) that was being
used solely as a nursery for
cannabis and asked that the
owner keep the yard up.
Reaney said that yard has
been maintained, but the one
next door hasn't and she
expects having to initiate
*another code enforcement
case when the grass is 18
inches tall Again because its
residents remained in jail.

concerted efforts to minimize
environmental impact in the
future, keeping as much
debris inside as they can.
Already, whatever they bring
to process evidence is taken
with them when they leave.
They won't arrive, howev-
er, with weed eaters, lawn-
mowers and shovels to fix
pre-existing problems.
"We're trying," he said,
noting that code enforcement
and the building departments
are made aware of the poten-
tial problems.
The latter, he said, has
authority to rescind certifi-
cates of occupancy if neces-
sary.
To support grow opera-
tions, the suspects often re-
wire the houses inside to
facilitate lighting and irriga-
tion needs while tapping into
external power lines to steal
electricity.
Inside the homes, often reg-
ulated by several air condi-
tioners, illegal irrigation leads
to mold, causing potential
health hazards.
S.Y. Mosley, building
inspector, said the grow hous-
es haven't had "too much
impact" on his department.
Usually, the power compa-
nies will immediately cut
power to a grow house that's
been busted. It's not until an
owner wants the power turned
back on that inspectors step in
to re-certify the wiring.
The county's not certified
in mold inspection, Mosley
said, explaining such issues


from detecting the theft to
punishing the thieves.
"They're figuring out how
they're getting caught and
detected, so they're changing
how they're setting it up,"
McGehee said, noting the
electrical work, is of profes-
sional quality. "They're uti-
lizing experienced electri-
cians, experienced lineman."
The sophistication of the
illegal wire taps points to the
work of skilled and experi-
enced electricians who are
adapting to the industry's

would be handled by the
Health Department.
His department's only been
involved with about 15 of 60
grow houses.
The sheriff has seized more
than $100,000 cash, $60,000
in vehicles (with more pend-
ing) and now they're going
after bank accounts.
Surely, there's enough
money there to help the coun-
ty defray animal control and
code enforcement expenses.
"It's just not free money,"
Durham said, explaining
Florida statutes prevent
seized assets being spent on
anything not considered "fet-
tering out further criminal
activity."
Using seized funding 'to
warehouse evidence (enough
of a problem that Benton is
backing a proposed law that
would allow her to use pic-
tures of physical evidence to
avoid the logistical burden of
its long-term storage and
costs) is 'difficult enough that
he called the process an
"'accountant's nightmare."
"Granted, it may have
looked better before the grow
houses were dismantled but
the reason it's unoccupied is
because they're facing crimi-
nal procedures," Durham
said, responding to alleged
rumblings that Leisure Lakes
was better before the sting.
"These grow houses will
bring violence to a neighbor-
hood. We're just not going to
sit on them and wait for some-
thing to happen."


attempt to thwart them.
Not wanting to tip off the
growers, McGehee wouldn't
discuss what measures are
taken to detect and report
electricity theft, nor did he
want customers taking mat-
ters into their own hands.
"We always want people to
have their eyes open," he
said, when asked what resi-
dents could do to help. "But,
we don't want people to
investigate or snoop around
anything electrical. Customer
safety is more important."

HEALTH
Continued from 1A
crowds out the use of more
effective care," he said.
Part of that, he added, is
due to the way we train and
organize our doctors.
By far the majority of
practicing physicians in this
country, 80 percent, consider'
themselves specialists. Only
20 percent of doctors have
family practices.
That is the exact opposite
of the.medical system in
Europe, where specialists are
in the minority and health
costs are typically lower.
For example, in England
the yearly cost per patient,
$3,250, is half the cost as
here, $6,500.
That type of disparity,
Rheinhardt said, shows up at
home between states. States
with more general practition-
ers, using more effective
care, have lowered spending,
while states with more spe-
cialists have higher costs and
lower quality.
This means doctors will
also have to adapt. The
American Medical
Association, which is cur-
rently considered a cartel by
most policy experts, more
interested in protecting doc-


tors than solving problems,
will have to join in the effort
to create more family physi-
cians and greater accounta-
bility overall.
On the issue of accounta-
bility, the current hodge-
podge of state-by-state,
quasi-private approach needs
to be changed, Rother said.
But first the public needs to
remember that bad outcomes
do not always mean bad
medicine.
He said the Federal-
Aviation Agency's model for
air crash investigations
would be a good place to
start, with the focus being
more on what went wrong in
the process and learning from
it, and less on assigning
blame and looking for retri-
bution. Although of course,
he added, the unskilled and
the harmful need to be weed-
ed out.
Breakthroughs with digital
record-keeping provide an
exciting new opportunity, Dr.
Risa Lavizzo-Moorey says.
Lavizzo-Moorey is a practic-
ing physician and CEO of the
Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, which deals with
medical issues.
Not only are electronic
records more timely, and
often more inclusive, as they

"It's time for me to move on," Carlson said,
"and the next logical step for me is county."
Carlson's Sebring City Council seat is one
of three that will be filled during the March 11
municipal elections. Five candidates, includ-
ing incumbent council members Margie
Rhoades and Bud Whitlock will vie for three
council seats in the at-large election.
Along with Rhoades and Whitlock, three


are dictated not hand-written,
but distant doctors may
obtain instant access, provid-
ing a greater variety of opin-
ions, she said.
Electronic records also
make the study of trends,
procedures and medical use-
fulness easier and quicker to
determine.
Finally, there is general
agreement that the way new
medicines are brought on line
and marketed impacts med-
ical care heavily, and in more
than one way.
Because new drug expens-
es like. development costs,
the hiring of an advertising
company and paying media
outlets for a publicity cam-
paign are passed on to the
patient, prices rise without
guaranteeing better function.
Rother gave as an example
the drug Nexium, which he
said is 10 times more expen-
sive than Prilosec, but not as
effective.
"We need to find out what
works and what doesn't," he
said. "Our health care system
is underperforming badly. We
need transparency while we
look at it."
The best news, Rother and
Rheinhardt both say, is that
people are beginning to
notice and care.


candidates have qualified for the election: Dan
Andrews, president/chief executive officer of
the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce;
Kenneth Melvin, a retired former Miami resi-
dent who currently serves on the city's
Planning and Zoning Commission, and Robert
Horne, a general contractor.
Mayor George Hensley and City Clerk
Kathy Haley will retain their seats, as both
will run unopposed in the upcomihg election.

On architect's recommendation, city accepts

second-lowest bid for fire station renovation


By MATT MURPHY
inatt.murphy@2newssun.com
SEBRING The Sebring
City Council accepted a
$423,500 bid from
Orangewood Builders for the
fire station renovation
Tuesday, even though a lower
bid was received.
Lomonico Contracting, Inc.
submitted a $391,435 bid, but
Keith Hunnicutt, who is the
architect for the fire station
renovation, recommended hir-
ing Orangewood for the job
instead. Hunnicutt cited sev-
eral reasons for his recom-
mendation, including
Orangewood's experience in
Highlands County and experi-
ence with projects of similar
size to the Sebring fire sta-
tion.
"The fire station is not a
huge project, but it's a very
complicated project,"
Hunnicutt said. "It will
require a ,contractor with
experience with sub-contrac-

tors. Orangewood has been
active in business much
longer."
Orangewood's local com-
mercial projects include work
at Sebring International
Raceway, Pioneer Medical
Center and the Fountain of
Life Church.
Hunnicutt also cited
Lomonico Contracting's cur-
rent involvement in two sepa-
rate litigation cases: One with
Greater Sebring Chamber of
Commerce President/CEO
Dan Andrews and the other


with Glades County.
Hunnicutt said he also learned
of an action that is pending
from Mark Palmer Electric.
"From brief conversations I
had with the parties, it seemed
the actions stemmed from
poor construction quality or
non-payment of invoices,"
Hunnicutt said. "That's all I
know, I know nothing else.
It's not my job to determine
whether these are legitimate,
I'm just reporting what I'm
finding out."
Orangewodd is not current-
ly involved in any litigation,
Hunnicutt said.
Hunnicutt told the council
that despite Orangewood not
being the lowest bidder, the
company ,would be the best
option for the city.
"I don't recommend these
things lightly," Hunnicutt
said. "I just feel it will be in
the best interest of the city."
The council unanimously
approved the bid.

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary: Clean, green iving Machine


By PATRICIA C. POND
News-Sun correspondent
NAPLES Corkscrew
Swamp Sanctuary is a mag-
nificent natural attraction
located in Collier County. a
two-hour drive from
Highlands County. Managed
by the National Audubon
Society, its cathedral-like old
growth cypress forest is the
largest in the world. Rare and
endangered birds, animals
and plants attract more than
100,000 visitors a year to this
remote wilderness.
And when they need to use
the restrooms, signs direct
them to a low profile build-
ing adjacent to the visitor
center. They enter a screened
enclosure filled with native
tropical plants and trees, with
butterflies darting around the
wildflowers.
If it were not for the illus-
trated signs explaining the
unique system, most people
would cross the boardwalk,
use the modern restroom
facilities, and depart without
ever realizing they had just
walked through a working
sewage treatment plant.
There is no odor to give it
away.
Corkscrew Swamp
Sanctuary has the first Living
Machine wastewater treat-
ment system permitted in
Florida and it has been oper-
ating successfully since
October 1994.
"This is a'licensed waste-
water treatment plant," said
Ed Carlson, the Sanctuary's
director. "We have a licensed
water treatment plant opera-
tor who works with us and
takes water samples every


quarter. We are subject to the
same state regulations and
have to get our permit
renewed just like any other
treatment plant."
Carlson said that
Corkscrew's water samples
have revealed that the water
that passes through the
Living Machine is typically
more pure than water that
comes from municipal water
treatment plants.
"We have a much smaller
flow rate here," he explained.
"We' can be much more care-
ful in the treatment and take
more time. Cities and towns
with large flows have to just
push it through their systems
as fast as they can."

The need for a
natural system
The usual approach to han-
dling waste water in isolated
areas is to install a stand-
alone sewage treatment facil-
ity called a "package plant."
With attendance surpassing
100,000, visitors a year, the
Sanctuary would need two
such plants working in tan-
dem during the tourist sea-
son, and one during the off-
season.
A package plant comes
with its own problems,
including overflow when it is
overtaxed, because there is
no municipal system to back
it up. It requires constant
maintenance, chemical addi-
tives and a large amount of
space several acres in the
Sanctuary's case.
Audubon wanted a' better
solution and their scientists
began searching for a natural


News-Sun photo by PATRICIA C. POND
Ed Carlson, manager of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, explains the operations of the Living
Machine to Tom Vujovich and Karen Schweitzer, Audubon members visiting from Des
Moines, Iowa. Schweitzer produces documentaries for Iowa public television, and the couple
came to Florida to study this natural system that purifies wastewater.


water restoration system.
They contacted Dr. John
Todd, who designs waste-
water treatment systems that
use sunlight, bacteria, green
plants and animals to purify
wastewater.
Todd proposed a "Living
Machine" for Corkscrew
Swamp Sanctuary a natural
water restoration system that
mimics nature by using
native, nutrient-absorbing
wetland plants and animals to
restore wastewater to near-
drinkable quality.
This innovative system
wold also cost ubsTntiatilly


less than the conventional
technology.
In 1993, the National
Audubon Society submitted
applications for permits to
the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection,
which required nearly six
months for processing.
Construction began in May
1994 and was completed in
'October.
The system that Todd
designed occupies an area of
only 70-by-70 feet, purifies
wastes without additives, and
recycles 90 percent of the
purified water back into the'


restrooms for reuse in the toi-
lets.

How the Living
Machine works
Waste water is first
pumped to two below-ground
10,000-gallon fiberglass
tanks for initial anaerobic
digestion. Anaerobic bacteria,
which live without air, are
chosen specifically to begin
breaking down wastes.
"It's the same as a septic
tank," Carlson explained.
Then it goes to two paral-
lel sefies-of five ab6ovd6


ground 2,500 gallon tanks,
and the system changes to
aerobic. Different types of
bacteria are introduced, along
with green plants from algae
to trees, and living organisms
from the local environment.
"We pumped these tanks
full of swamp water. You will
find the same snails, fish,
shrimp, insects and plants
that you see here in the
swamp."
These tanks are furiously
aerated "They are just
boiling with air," Carlson
said.
Water then flows into a
sixth tank, where it is
pumped out of the top into
two 30-by-30-foot plastic
lined artificial marshes filled
with crushed limestone. Any
remaining sediment is
pumped from the bottom
back to the anaerobic tanks
to begin the cycle again.
These final treatment areas
are the marsh gardens
through which visitors walk
on their way to the rest-
rooms.
The artificial marshes are
planted with typical wetland
species from Corkscrew
Swamp including alligator
flag, arrowhead, pickerel
weed, blue flag iris and
swamp lily. The plants
remove the last vestiges of
nitrogen through their root
systems and convert them to
harmless nitrogen gas.
When the effluent exits
these marshes, it is clean. But
to satisfy state regulators, it
is disinfected with chlorine,
pumped to a holding tank,

dechlorinated and finally
recycled into the restrooms
for flushing.
A separate line brings
potable well water from the
drinking water system for
hand-washing sinks and
drinking fountains.

A constant
environment
Because the Living
Machine at Corkscrew is
totally covered by an alu-
minum screen enclosure, it
functions like a green house,
according to Carlson.
"Once a year, Sanctuary
staff members drain out the
artificial marshes in the area
of the tanks, and remove
overgrowth," he said. "But
we never have to replace or
replant anything in the
Living Machine because of
the constant environment.
There are no significant tem-
perature changes or other
extremes."
Another advantage of the
enclosure is control of insect
populations and the creation
of a protected butterfly
aviary within the Living
Machine.
And to keep out the critters
because "this place was
attractive to wildlife. The
morning that we found a
gator curled up around a toi-
let in one of the restrooms,
we decided to enclose the
entire system."
Carlson is surprised how
effective this solution is.
"Most of the larger ani-
mals could break in here if
they wanted, but they respect
.the screen enclosure. I have

The Living Machine is
open to the public as an edu-
cational opportunity, and
interpreted with signs and
displays. Schools and inter-
ested groups can book tours
to see the system in action.
"We feel this attractive yet
functional waste water treat-
ment plant is the ideal setting
to teach water chemistry,
purification and recycling
lessons," Carlson believes.
He also hopes that people
will look more carefully at


the natural world to find the
answers for some of the
problems being faced today.
"Nature has so many
things to teach us if we just
observe what is all around us
and utilize what works."

Just slow down

You know you are in a drought when you're happy
the sky is gray.
Thursday's quiet, penetrating rain was truly a gift
from heaven. Within moments tired, dehydrated
plants began to stir and stiffen, and brown lawns
regain a tinge of green.
The steady drizzle, sometimes gaining in intensity,
sometimes almost tapering off, was the perfect relief
for the parched ground hard enough to penetrate,
but not too heavy to run off.
It was welcomed with sincere prayers of thanks.
Which were hard to hear as it turned out, what with
all the banging and crashing, the careening and veer-
ing, the honking and screaming as rubber and metal
met metal and rubber, cracking glass in between.
It is one of nature's jests the giving with one
hand, while taking with the other.
What is good for the yard, in other words, isn't
good for the road, or at least not good for the roads
that are traveled on by, well, let's call them the
unthinking.
We mean those, er ... drivers who tailgate or speed
no matter the conditions.
We thought it was a fact universally known: Oil and
water don't mix.
The point being that the layer of oil, grease, and'
who knows what all else that collects on a road's sur-
face over countless dry weeks becomes as slippery as
a largemouth bass coming out of a lake at the first
touch of rain. It's called "Florida ice" and, while it's
fun for those who enjoy hydroplaning on the highway,
but it's pure terror for everyone else.
So Thursday was both a day of relief and of reck-
oning.
A "thank-you God for the rain, and please let that
Ford F-150 driver have a little nobody-gets-hurt crash
just to get him off the road, please," kind of a day.
So keep. the weather in mind. Come to complete
stops where the signs ask you to. Use your turn indi-
cators so others will be prepared for your moves.
Count the seconds between you and the car in front
of you, leave enough time so you will be able to react
in an emergency.
Clean not just your windshields, but your head and
tail lights as well, be sure you can be seen.
If your car begins to skid, steer into it. Do not brake
hard it only makes matters worse.
In fact, given that the only thing more awful than
seeing an out-of-control car skidding toward you is
having to read yet another column calling for safer
drivers, your only true defense is to slow down.

Skydiving without a plane to celebrate 25th


Last week Don and I cele-
brated our 25th wedding
anniversary. It is sad that stat-
ing that is a major achievement
in this quickie divorce age we
live in.
We decided to celebrate by
going to Orlan do for a week-
end. While we intended to
check out a little bit of Disney,
we hadn't made any firm plans
for the couple of days we had.
Don brought along a folder full
of flyers for us to peruse so we
looked them over to see if any-
thing else caught our interest.
Something else did. One of
the flyers Don had advertised
Skyventure.
The front of the flyer shows
a woman apparently floating
on air, a big smile on her face.
Skyventure advertises itself as
"indoor skydiving." They use a
vertical wind tunnel to simu-
late the feeling of skydiving.
With nothing more than a brief
class and a good instructor,
they promised virtually anyone
could fly.
You might say no sane per-
son would want to do this. You
might say that even if a sane
person thought about doing it,
it wouldn't be a part of a
romantic weekend celebrating
their 25th wedding anniversary.
Very few people make the
mistake of thinking I am sane.
As for Don well, let's just
say that 25 years of being mar-
ried to me probably has some-
thing to do with the fact that he
isn't always considered sane.


Laura's
Look
Laura Ware
I admit while I wanted to try
it, I was nervous. I am a person
who hates high places, espe-
cially high places with no bar-
rier between me and the height.
Skydiving has never been an
option for me because of the
requirement you jump out of a
plane that is very high up in
the air.
I wondered if this was some-
thing that would completely
terrify me. Then I read in the
brochure that it was safe
enough for practically anyone
aged 3 and up. That reassured
me somewhat; if it wouldn't
kill a 3-year-old, I was piroba-
bly OK.
So Sunday afternoon Don
and I tracked down
Skyventure. We were greeted
by an enthusiastic young
woman who handed us waiver
forms. The waiver forms
warned we were about to
engage in a sport and we had
to accept the possibility of
bumps, bruises, and small cuts.
There was something else there
about possibility of death but I
remembered the part of the
brochure that talked about 3-
year-olds and figured we were
safe.
After signing our lives away
Don and I went up to an obser-
vation room to watch others in
the wind tunnel. After a short


wait a young man named
Kevin (I'm not kidding about
young he is only a year older
than my son John, who is bare-
ly a grownup in his mom's
eyes) escorted us and four
other brave souls to the gear
room, where we suited up.
"Suiting up" consisted of
knee and elbow pads, baggy
flight suits, goggles, earplugs,
and helmets. Kevin gave us
instruction on how to position
our bodies to be able to safely
float in the chamber. Because
the tunnel is a noisy affair, he
also went over some hand sig-
nals he would use when we
needed to adjust our limbs. He
assured us that as long as we
didn't try to do anything stupid
we would be fine.
Before long we were lined
up on a bench in front of the
door to the wind tunnel. Don
and I were the last two. Each
of us got two "flights."
How was it?
Take a look at the picture.
See if that answers the ques-
tion.
The Skyventure people work
hard to make sure the experi-
ence is a fun one. If you're
curious about the whole thing,
give them a call at 1-800-SKY-
FUN 1, or check out the Web
,site at www.skyventureorlan-
do.com. Tell Kevin the crazy
writer lady says hi.

Not all change is good
Editor:
In the. 16th century, Anglican
priest Richard Hooker said,
"Change is not made without incon-
venience, even from worse to bet-
ter." Today just about every one of
the Presidential hopefuls are calling
for change. Change is the buzzword
for 2008 but precisely the kind of
change they refer to remains vague.
Instead,.we get platitudes about
how much better things will be once
their changes take place. While
some change may be good others
definitely are not.
Republican candidates propose
lowering taxes to keep the economy
strong and reduce spending. Their
foreign policy remains one of secu-
rity through a strong military.
Recent progress in Iraq has delight-
ed, them, increasing the promise of a
positive outcome. Troop with-
drawals depend on conditions on
the ground, with a military base to
remain for some time in the' future.
Democrats, on the other hand, are
promising the greatest change. They
believe control of the White House
will allow for a redirection from
President Bush's Nationalism to the
Liberal Agenda.
First, they pledge to remove our
troops from Iraq in spite of substan-
tial progress being made and
America now winning the peace.
They are also indifferent to the fact
that Iran, a supporter of terrorism,
has promised to move in and take
our place. Iranian influence in Iraq
has the potential to disrupt security
in the Middle East and blackmail
the United States by controlling oil
production. As an effort to appease
the anti-war faction of the
Democrat Party the wor.' ".,ill
become more dangerous and, if
true, gasoline has the potential to
reach more than $6 a gallon and be


rationed. More importantly, such
action would devalue the lives of
4,000 American soldiers lost
defending freedom there. Can you
say Viet Nam?
Also, the Liberal Agenda includes
universal health care (socialiAed
medicine) paid for by taxes on
working Americans.
Their plans call for reversal of
the Bush tax cuts. Since the top 50
percent of taxpayers pay virtually
all individual income taxes (over 96
percent), working Americans will
be hit with a major tax increase
which will most likely kill the econ-
omy.
Holding the view that Capitalism
is evil, large corporations will be
placed under strict control and
heavily taxed.
Liberals prefer an unthreatening
military used exclusively for home-
land defense and domestic regula-
tion.
Other changes to be expected
in 'ude, signing on to the Kyoto
j ... ol and ABM Treaty, sub-


servience to the United Nations and
deference to-the International
Community plus, allow the United
States to be regulated under juris-
diction of the World Court.
Most humans resist change
because it'does bring inconven-
ience, vexation and distress. While
change might' sound good to a seg-
ment of the electorate we better
watch out what we wish for,
because we just might get it.

Lies about weapons of mass
destruction and Iraq
Editor:
When I see and hear all the lies
about Iraq and the weapons of mass
destruction, it makes my blood boil.
I have relatives in Iraq that were
among the first to get into Baghdad.
They found on Saddam's computer
where he had ordered more than $7
million worth of WMD's from
North Korea and was having a fit


because. he had not got them yet.
They found the list of 12 cities he
was going to wipe out in America
when he got them.
If we had not gone into Iraq
when we did and Saddam had those
WMD's, we would have lost mil-
lions of people had he ever got his
hands on those WMD. They called
the Navy and Coast Guard told
them to look for North Korea ships.
They found a ship that had no flag
but was camouflaged up. They went
aboard and it was a North Korea
ship with the WMD's aboard. They
took them out and destroyed them,
but the liberal news media never
told us about them or the far left
bunch in Washington.
My cousin came back from Iraq
after one year there and said he
could not believe the lies the
American people are fed by the lib-
erals in Washington and the lies of
the liberal news people. After three
months here he could not take any
more of it and asked to go back to
Iraq. He said they need me over


there. The American people never
hear the progress we are gaining in
Iraq. If we pull our troops out now,
there will be more and more attacks
on America. Terrorist 'leaders would
like us to leave so they can take
over.
I am a World War II disabled vet-
eran. I served my country well and
would do so again if I were able.
This generation does not know what
Americans went through in World
War II. Rationing was on most
everything gas, tires, food, cloth-
ing, shoes. No new cars, everything
was for the war, to get everything to
us we needed. There were many
that did not get home until the war
was over. I got home a few days as
our ship had to go into dry dock to
repair damage.
We are being destroyed here in
America, by the 20 million Mexican
criminals that have invaded
America. Our government does
nothing to deport them and close
our borders. We hope we get a pres-
ident that will enforce our immigra-
tion laws and close our border and
save America. There should never
be a North American Union, or
NAFTA highway not now, not
ever. Ainericans contact your sena-
tors and House of Representatives.
More than 85 percent of Americans
want this done. Wake up.

The buck


stops where?

It's nice to know that the
, Bush's administration capac-
ity for creating disasters is
undiminished. After years of
blunder in our Afghanistan
campaign, short changing
our troop commitment and
repeated failures in defeating
al-Qaida and Bin Laden in
eastern Afghanistan, we now
look to Musharraf as the
cause for failure to capture
Bin Laden and for the resur-
gence of the Taliban.
After our failure to cap-
ture Bin Laden we sought to
place all the blame on
Musharraf, ignoring the fact
that his ability to act in the
north of the country was lim-
ited by the political instabili-
ty of the area and his limited
military capability and intel-
ligence sources, which were
no better than our own.
Rather than acknowledge his
steadfast support for the
United States under difficult
circumstances, the adminis-
tration sought to undermine
him by promoting an oppor-
tunistic Bhutto in the guise
of promoting democracy.
Musharraf has had to ,
maintain a delicate balance
over the last several years,
with a long standing problem
,with India over the Kashmir
on his east as well as a
mixed assortment of domes-
tic dissidents less than
enthused with his military
assumption of control of
Pakistan. Nevertheless he,
was our only reliable ally in
the region and if his support
was at times less than enthu-
siastic it was .at least consis-
tent.
Sometimes we forget that
the art of diplomacy is to
harmonize the U.S. objec-
tives with the long-term con-
cerns of our allies who will
remain in the region after the
United States withdraws its
forces and will have to con-
tend with the aftermath of
our participation. The peo-

pie of Vietnam learned they
were on their own after we
left Southeast Asia and the
consequences for them were
not pleasant. In Korea, the
unresolved war caused the
United States to leave a force
of 50,000 troops in country
for half a century as evidence
of our commitment not to
permit North Korea to over-
run South Korea again. This
enabled South Korea to
thrive and build itself into the
economic power it is today.
In the middle east Bush's
primary attention has always
been in Iraq with Afghanistan
and the Pakistan border
viewed as a secondary issue
as evidenced by the relatively


small commitment of men
and materiel allocated to
Afghanistan as compared to
Iraq. Small wonder if
Musharraf seemed at times to
copper his bets, with the
real prospect for being left
out on a windy limb if the
United States looses its
enthusiasm for capturing Bin
Laden. Given our history in
Vietnam it seems a reason-
able concern.
Bush's response to this
concern was to foment
regime change, by resurrect-
ing Behazir Bhutto's ambi-
tion to once again become
' the leader of Pakistan, and
setting her up as a stalking
horse and supporting her
attempt to wheedle herself
into a power-sharing position
with Musharraf through a
series of secret negotiations


under the tutelage of
Condolezza Rice.
Supposedly under the banner
of restoring democracy to a
state which has never been
able to sustain one, Bhutto
was the inheritor of what is
essentially a cult of the per-
sonality, rather than a demo-
cratic political party. She was
its sole leader and declared
herself its chairman for life,
hardly a democratic organiza-
tion. She wheeled and dealed
with Musharraf for conces-
sions, hardly a democratic
practice, while the Bush
administration worked to
bring her back from her
exile, a move calculated to
totally destabilize the country
and apparently replace
Musharraf who had failed to
accept the role as fall guy,
for Bush's mistakes in the


area.
Bush's chief concern
seems to be with his legacy
rather than long term stability
in the area. Musharraf is
muscled into granting Bhutto'
amnesty for the corruption of
her former regimes. She was
twice forced from power by
her countrymen. Encouraged
to return to Pakistan by Bush
she immediately created
widespread chaos and com-
menced a "March on the
Capital" to present her
demands to Musharraf.
Placed in protective custody
but released in response to
U.S. pressure, allegedly to
advance the interests of
democracy. In this part of the
world democracy is a word,
sometimes convenient some-
times not. What Bhutto
sought was power. We tried

Florida Secretary of State
was Katherine Harris, who
was also state campaign ,man-
ager for- George Bush. Yet
she did not rescue herself
from making decisions relat-
ed to the campaign.
When the election obvious-
ly went haywire in Palm
Beach County, which
Highlands shares a
Congressman with, some
Palm Beach voters demanded
a revote. This sounds perfect-
ly reasonable to me but the
lawyers and politicians would
not consider it.
What did Florida voters
intend to do?
George Bush and Al Gore
both received 48.8 percent of
the vote, which does not add
up to 100 percent of the 12
parties on the ballot, seven
are reported at 0.0 percent of
the vote, but another three
received more than 15,000
votes. Ralph Nader's Greens
got 1.6 percent of the vote,
Pat Buchanan's Reform Party
got 0.3 percent and Harry
Browne's Libertarians got
another 0.3 percent. These
figures are from the website
of the Florida Secretary of
State.
A runoff election would
resolve these splintered votes
and give us a majority win-
ner. I can only assume that.
those who vofed for Nader
would vote for Gore in a
runoff and that those who
voted for Buchanan and
Browne would vote for Bush.
In this simulated runoff Al
Gore would receive
3,000,741 votes, or 50.4 per-
cent of the votes cast. Bush
would receive 2,946,689
votes or 49.4 percent of the
votes cast. Gore would defeat
Bush by 63,052 votes, a full
1 percent of the Florida vote.
A law requiring a runoff
election when no candidate
receives an absolute majority
of the vote is the democratic


way to prevent a repeat of
the election debacle of 2000.

Special to the News-Sun
LAKE, PLACID --United States Navy
Petty Officer First Class Emily Klinefelter was
the guest speaker at the Veterans Council of
Highlands County Inc. on Jan. 15 at the
American Legion Post 25 in Lake Placid.
Klinefelter, a nine-year veteran with the
military service, was deployed to Talil, Iraq
were she was assigned to the 7th
Transportation Battalion (U.S. Army)
Transportation Battalion Seven, Camp Adder.
In February 2007, the battalion supported
Operation Safe Haven, providing long haul
escort and security to supply convoys with
armed gun trucks. Klinefelter spoke on her
experiences while in the Navy, aboard the car-
riers USS Eisenhower and the USS John F.
Kennedy, as well as her experiences while in
Iraq.
Returning from her 10-month deployment,
she is speaking to groups around the country
about her personal experiences serving in sup-
port of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Klinefelter,
currently stationed at the Navy Information
Operations Command, Whidbey Island, Wash.,


serves as the command and control nodal ana-
lyst.
While on the carriers, she served as plane
captain, the first person to touch a plane once
it landed topside, and the last person to touch
the plane before it left the deck.
The members of the Veterans Council lis-
tened intently as she explained her role in Iraq,
and her devotion to fellow soldiers and sailors.
"It's not just the love of the flag, God, and
country. It's also knowing the person to the
left and right of you are depending on you,"
she said.
Raised in Fort Myers, Klinefelter graduated
from Cypress Lake Fine and Performing Arts
High School in June 1998. She enlisted in the
United States Navy in December 1998, report-
ing to Recruit Training Command Great Lakes
for Basic Training. She and her husband,
Luther, have a daughter, Tempyst.
Klinefelter's decorations include the Army
Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine
Corps Achievement Medal (gold star), Good
Conduct Medal (bronze star), and various
service and campaign medals.

Special to the News-Sun
While many Americans
want to do the right thing and
assist the veterans and mili-
tary personnel, other people
are creating scams or money
making methods of helping
themselves to other peoples
money.

calls to the Veteran Services
Office in Sebring inquiring
about the recent tactics to
raise funds for the veterans in
Highlands County.
The Veteran Assistance
Committee has not been mak-
ing any telephone calls for
solicitation of funds to help
the area veterans. Calls to the
veterans groups around the
county indicate no. telephone
solicitation has been conduct-
ed by the local organizations.
Upon contacting the
regional VA offices, they are
not aware of any authorized
solicitation going on in our
area, according to Joseph

Adaptive housing
grants available
for some veterans

The U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs has started a
mass mailing of more than
16,000 letters to eligible dis-
abled veterans and service
members regarding a change

structing homes. The

previously a one-time VA
Grant. Under the new ruling,
the applicant could use the
VA Adaptive Housing Grants
up to three times.

The mess

of busyness
One day I was writing a
note to someone and com-
mented on my busyness.
When I looked back at the
word, I chuckled. Instead
of busyness, I had typed
'busymess.'
But, then I got to think-
ing. 'Busylness:' It might
not be a word, but it con-
jures up pictures of what
too much busyness can do.
It can leave a mess in its
trail. Messes we can all
probably identify with.
For example, instead of
answering simple questions
with deserving answers,
we may be agitated and
short reacting instead of
replying.
Or, with so much going
on, one of the things we
had considered a priority at
first may be forgotten. If'in
the forgetfulness a person
is hurt, then a relationship
gets messed up and needs
mending.
What happens when, in
our busyness, we neglect
to take care of the ones
closest to us in our fami-
lies? We may laugh.when
we watch movies that
depict a family so busy in
its preparations for a trip,
that a child is left home ...
alone.
But, even through the
laughter, we see the frantic
panic that results. Though
something that extreme
may not happen in our
homes, neglect can take
place.
Nutritional food prepara-
tion suffers when we are
continually on the run.
Time around the dinner
table is swapped for a fast
food drive through.
The Bible says in I
Timothy 5: 8 that we are
responsible to provide for
our families. But, when
making adequate provision
is pushed beyond normal
boundaries, children may
be left alone too long. That
can be a 'mess' in the mak-
ing.
Sometimes busyness
takes its messy toll on our
health. We are so busy that
we do not take time to care
for ourselves. We don't see
the 'mess' coming until
suddenly we are unable to
keep up because illness
claims us. Rest, good
nutrition, exercise these
are necessities not
something we add on if
there's time.
And most important of
all is our time with God.
SHow easily busyness can
leave us a 'mess' spiritual-
ly. Suddenly our peace,
rest and strength are
replaced with unmanage-
able stress.
Once again, the Bible
has the answer. Jesus says
in Matthew 11: 28, NKJV,
"Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest."
And then in Psalm
46:10, God whispers into
our busyness, "Be still, and
know that I am God."
By acquiring the habit of
stillness before God,
acknowledging his sover-
eignty over every area of
our lives and seeking his
wisdom to prioritize each
day, we will be productive-
ly busy knowing his
rest not our mess. Selah

SFCC to host Mr.

Jack Daniel's Band
Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK The South Florida
Community College Matinee Series is
proud to present Mr. Jack Daniel's
Original Silver Cornet Band at 1:30 p.m.
Tuesday in the SFCC Auditorium,
Highlands Campus, Avon Park.
The group brings to life the sights and
sounds of a vanished era in American
musical history with a 12-piece band of
professional musicians dedicated to play-
ing the music of the small town bands of
over half a century ago. This show will
allow the audience a unique glimpse of
America's past, from costumes to the
original instruments.
Touring the United States since 1978,
Mr. Jack Daniel's Original Silver Cornet
Band was formed in 1892 in Lynchburg,
Tenn. The band was formed' by the
famous distiller, Jack Daniel, to liven up
political rallies.
He was able to purchase the full com-
plement of brand new nickel plated
instruments complete with cases and
guaranteed from the Sears and Roebuck
catalog for a total investment of $227.70,
with delivery in about three weeks.
It was a simpler time, before televi-
sion, radio, and the cinema combined to
become Show Biz. Entertainment
revolved around the small town band. It
has been estimated that in the 1890s as
many as 15,000 small town bands exist-
ed. The band was made up of amateur

townsmen like the bankers, hardware
clerks, and blacksmiths as. well as work-
ers in Daniel's distillery. Their instru-
ments were temperamental horns a
challenge for trained musicians and near-
ly impossible to control and play in tune
by the perspiring homegrown players
whose enthusiasm and energy was sel-
dom matched by any technical skill or
musical knowledge.
The band played at rallies, saloon
openings, parades, funerals, picnics, and
had regular concert appearances in the
gazelpo bandstand in the courthouse
square.
Their repertoire ranged from the rau-
cous to the reverent, from music hall to

Thirteen Lynchburg residents made up
the Mr. Jack Daniel's Original Silver


Cornet Band and they were famous in the
area for more than 20 years. Gradually,
however, progress came to Lynchburg
and the urbanization of America came
with it. As other forms of entertainment
came into being, the small town band
phenomenon dwindled and disappeared.

The Florida black bear is a vanishing species


Since being hired as the
natural resource specialist for
the Highlands Soil and Waterl
Conservation Serv ice, I hav\
learned a lot about Ih FIlorida
black bear,
When \visiting the ax rious
ranches to talk to the p:odunc-
ers about i coniirtcIs they
often muctiOm this amallin
anintil It \\woul sc'em that
mtn\ ot nou intidownetrs are
frequtntl v\isited b\ these
timid cr ma es Some have
even told tales of' the momr
bear ;and her cuhs and how
the\ inhabit ccrlain areas of
their property
Unfortunately, these once
abundant animals are quickly
disappearing. Perhaps if we
knew more about these crit-
ters, we would be better able
to protect them.
Bears travel in what is
called a home range. This is
the area in which they search
for food, water and shelter.
Generally this area consists of
50 to 120 square miles for the
males and 10 to 25 square
miles for the female. So you


see they need a lot
of territory to sur-
vive.
As we all know,
with new develop-
ment and urbaniza-
tion coming into our
sunshine state, these
habitats are being
destroyed rapidly.
Many of their terri-
tories now have
major highways and
roads going through
and many bears are

killed by automobiles striking
them. Often times, bears will
cross these roads in search of
food or a mate. In fact,
according to Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission, approximately
90 percent of the known bear
mortalities have been caused
by vehicles..
Besides mankind, an adult
black bear has no predators,
except perhaps other bears. As
stated above, the main cause
of death of these creatures is
vehicle collisions, however
some do die of starvation,


mostly due to lack of
habitat and of
course, poaching. It
is believed that the
average bear would
live to be about 15
years old if no cir-
cumstances caused
its death before that.
Bears are timid crea-
tures, and if you are
fortunate enough to
see one in the wild,
chances are very
good that it will run


away from you. Because
bears have an amazing sense
of smell, they generally know
you are there before you
would ever get a glimpse of
them. It is important, as with
all wild animals, that people
do not feed them. When a
wild animal is fed by a human
being, it loses its fear and
becomes dangerous.
No known bear. attacks
have been reported in Florida,
however it is always impor-
tant to keep your distance
from any wild animal and
have a healthy respect for


them. Feeding wildlife is not
only against the law, it is very
dangerous.
The Florida black bear is a
large mammal. As its name
implies, it is black in col-
oration and sometimes has a
tan muzzle and a lighter col-
ored chest blaze. They have
rounded ears, a short tail, 5-
toed feet and large canine
teeth.
An adult male generally
will weigh between 250-450
pounds; females usually
weigh in at 125-250 pounds.
These creatures can run up to
30 miles an hour and are quite
adept at climbing trees.
Bears eat plants and ani-
mals, thus they are considered
omnivores.
It is unfortunate to see the
numbers of these magnificent
creatures declining so rapidly.
At one time these bears num-
bered over 12,000; today
there are an estimated 2,500
remaining. It is critical that
we, as human beings, help to
maintain healthy bear popula-
tions in an effort to conserve

the diversity of Florida's
native species. If you have a
desire to help this declining
species, there are many ways
you can assist. Be aware of
the decisions and choices of
your local government and let
your voice be heard regarding
wildlife and loss of habitat

road planning, wildlife cross-

all subjects you can get
involved with. Log on to

Groove For Thought to

be at SFCC on Saturday
Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK South Florida Community
College is launching another season of great
jazz performances when the 2008 SFCC Jazz
Series presents Groove for Thought at 7:30
p.m. Saturday in the SFCC University Center
Auditorium.
The Seattle-based six-man group, plus
piano, establishes a strong rapport with its
audience from the opening number as they
apply their unique style of interweaving thick
and complex harmonies around recognizable
melodies.
The result of their efforts is a distinct group
persona that are reminiscent of hints of other
groups like The Hi-Lo's, the Carpenters, Take
Six, and Earth Wind and Fire, as well as some
jazz licks from the Count Basie Band. The
group's vocalists have had extensive training
in vocal and instrumental music. They are
adept both as instrumentalists and vocalists;
however, they all decided to emphasize their
vocal skills professionally. Their performanc-
es include jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, and
pop music.
The vocalists include Jeff Horenstein, Peter
Jones, Kelly Kunz, Brennan Baglio, James
Niles, and Randy Taylor. They have garnered
several prestigious awards, including the 2005
National Harmony Sweepstakes and the 2006
Contemporary Acappella Recording award for

Friends Of The
Library Notes
Deane McArthur
Happy New Year! It is still
not too late to wish someone
a Happy New Year nor is it
too late to make New Year
resolutions. Most of our reso-
lutions have to do with
improving our minds, our
bodies by losing weight and
keeping fit, our relationships
and self worth; in other
words, we want to be a 'New
Me."
To help with all those reso-
lutions, the Friends of the
Library Bookstore at 117 E.
Central St. in Sebring can be
a big help. In our back room,
we have shelves of topics
called "Self Help, Diets,
Keeping Fit and Medical
Help" ... and they are all on
sale at a 50 percent discount
of our already low price for
the month of January!
Some of the books dealing
with weight loss are "Your
Perfect Weight," published
by the well-known
Prevention magazine folks;
"The Palm Beach Long Life
Diet;" and "The South Beach
Diet" to mention a few.
"Eat Smart Think Smart'
by Robert Haas promotes the
idea that appropriate use of
nutrients and dietary supple-
ments will allow us to reach
our peak physical and intel-
lectual levels. Haas presents
chapters that focus on wak-
ing up one's brain, losing
weight, enhancing sex, sleep-
ing, developing muscles, and
improving memory and cog-
nition with the help of nutri-
ents.
Books that might explain
or help one understand ill-
ness include "Reversing
Heart Disease" by Dr. Dean
Ornish, who claims that heart
disease may be halted or
even reversed by changing
your life style.

Allyn Barrett sorts books in the Self-Help, Diet, Exercise
and Medical section of the Friends of the Library Bookstore
on East Central Street in Sebring. These books are on sale
for the month of January.


Others of the same ilk are
"How to Fight Cancer and
Win" by William Fischer and
"Fibromyalgia Relief
Handbook" by Chet
Cunningham.
If your self-esteem needs a
boost, we have some great
books that might help, e.g.
"Self Matters" by Dr. Phil of
TV fame; "Success is a
Choice" by Rick Pitino and
"Finding the Love of Your
Life" by Neil Warren.
Also we are continuing our
50 percent sale on cookbooks
and our puzzles are still 25
cents each unless otherwise
marked.
A reminder to all Friends
of the Library members: the
annual meeting will take
place at noon Feb 4 at the
Tea Room on Lake Sebring.
Cost is $12 and reservations
are needed. I am not sure
about the menu as yet, but I
do know the Glad Hatters
from Highlands Little
Theatre group are going to
entertain us. From .the arti-
cles I have read in the paper,
they are a fun group and'
enjoyed by all. The newslet-
ter will be arriving soon with


more information about the
annual meeting.
I hope you will all come
downtown to the Circle area
on Jan. 31 to take part in the
monthly Gallery Walk. This
event is from 5-8 p.m.,
organized by Linda Kegley
of the LK Gallery, and it
grows each month with more
shops joining in the excite-
ment ... and this month, the
Friends of the Library
Bookstore is also going to
take part. We will have some
munchies as well as a draw-
ing for a gift certificate for
future use in our store.
More and more people are
finding our wonderful used
bookstore and we are so
.happy to meet new friends
and customers.
Some have joined the
Friends of the Library and
others' have indicated they
would like to volunteer ..
that is good news! Our mem-
bership is only $10 a year.
We are always looking for
volunteers to work in the
store so that we can help our
local Sebring library.
Until next time, Happy
Reading!

High School Girls Basketball

Lady Devils in high gear, route DeSoto


By ED BALDRIDGE
News-Sun correspondent
AVON PARK The Avon
Park Lady Devils basketball
team easily defeated the
DeSoto Bulldogs 63-47 on
Friday night.
"It was a good win," said
Avon Park head coach
Paulette Daley. "DeSoto beat
Sebring, and that was a sur-
prise, so we did prepare for
this game."
The quick Avon Park team
took a nine-point lead early in
the first period and kept that
lead all night.
"Overall everyone stepped


up and the points were spread
out pretty good," said Daley.
Leading the scoring for the
Lady Devils, Markida
Hawthorne netted 17 Avoi
points.
SClose behind her,
senior Beonca Godfrey
was able to score 14 De
and junior Devil
Brearnna Tate held her
own with 11 points.
The Devils keep
their commanding lead and
ended up on top at the end of
the first period 16-8.
Although slow to warm up,

DeSoto began rotating their
defense, putting the Lady
Devils off balance, and began
to gain on the Avon
Park Park lead, drawing up
to within six in just the
first three minutes of
the second quarter.
oto "At the beginning
7 they were alternating
their defense so we
had to alternate our
offense," Daley said.
"I figured the best way to
shake them up was to use the
full court press."
Pressing the issue, the


quicker Avon Park players
were able to extend their lead
to 11 points by the end of the
half heading into the locker
room with a solid 29-18 lead
over the DeSoto team.
Continuing to rotate their
defense, DeSoto went to the
inside offensively at the start
of the second half and again
gained some ground, shorten-
ing Avon Park's lead.
A foul called the end of the
third period caused a little
confusion and allowed the
Lady Dogs to take two free

Hawthorne can't
keep control of

Distrtict 10-3A Girls Soccer Tournament



Dragons downed but not out


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.comn
LAKE PLACID There
weren't so much tears of sor-
row for a loss, most tears on
this night would be from the
:smarting of sore muscles and
bruised body parts during
Friday's physical throwdown
for the District- 10-3A girls
soccer title.
Frostproof would prevail,
4-1, allowing them to host
their next game in the state
regional quar-
,Frostproof terfinal.
And while
__ .the loss sends
them on the
Lake Placid road next
week (loca-
tion was not
available at
press time),' it
didn't make for too glum a
sideline for the Lady
Dragons.
"I'm happy," head coach
Elizabeth Sottile said with a.
smile. "We've never had one
of these (a district runner-up
trophy). The girls played a
great game and I'm happy
for them."
The Bulldogs got on the
board very quickly, playing
an attacking, aggressive
offense that saw Holly
Kinchen slip one into the net
just two minutes into the
contest.
Less than six minutes later
Cristal Rojas lofted one that
was just high enough to get
over the outstretched hands
of Lake Placid goalkeeper
Sydney Stewart, but still
tickle the twine in the front,
left edge of the goal for a 2-
0 lead.


Twice more Frostproof
had chances to add to the
lead on direct kicks, a sign of
the clean though rough-and-
tumble theme of the game.
Each time, however,
Stewart was up to the task of
keeping the deficit where it
was.
Lady Dragon Erica
Resendiz showed a strong
leg, blasting a rocket-shot
from 30 yards out that left a
vapor trail.
But Bulldog goalkeeper
Faith Franklin was able to
get in front of this one and
corral it. .
Another direct kick for
Frostproof didn't connect at
the 27:45 mark, and sudden-
ly the lead was cut in half
when Resendiz scored on a
direct kick for Lake Placid at
29:35.

'I can't take

anything away

from them. It just

wasn't in the

cards for us

tonight.'

JULIE SHREWSBURY
Lady Dragon defender

Taking a page out of
Rojas' book of benders,
Resendiz sent the shot on an
angled arc that got over
Franklin's reach but under
the crossbar and into the
back of the net for the 2-1
difference at the half.
Frostproof had another
chance early in the second

goal as Lady Bulldog defender Hannah Sikes closes in. Resendiz would tally a goal on the
night, but Frostproof took the District championship with a 4-1 win Friday.


half to increase the lead, but
Stewart stopped .another
direct kick to hold the line,
but it was a trickier that just
got over the line that did add
to the lead.
At the 53:45 mark, what
looked like a scrum piled up
in front of the Lake Placid
goal, with bodies bumping,
legs flailing and feet kicking.


Somewhere within the
throng, Marisela Rivera's
foot met ball and ball snuck
in just over the line for a 3-1
Bulldog lead.
The Dragons kept battling,
striving ever harder for scor-
ing chances, but getting over
the hump just wasn't going
to happen.
A Bulldog goal at 74:58


accounted for the final mar-
gin.
"They beat us- both times
we played them this year, so
we were really hoping to
win," -junior defender Julie
Shrewsbury said as she iced
down a rapidly swelling
cheekbone that will likely
have her in sunglasses for a

Great Expectations

and life lessons

Great Expectations.
When you were back in
ninth-grade English, it was
that book the teacher
assigned.
You learned about Charles
Dickens tale of young Pip,
beautiful Estella and crazy
Miss Havisham.
Great Expectations might
also be the title for the
Sebring Lady Streaks basket-
ball.'
Big things are expected for
the girls program at Sebring.
Just ask first-year Sebring
head coach Mike Lee.
Not only are there great
expectations, but coach Lee
also has his daughter as one
of the key players on the
squad.
Isn't that extra pressure
too?
"There is really no'extra
pressure because of
Whitney," he said in a phone
interview this past week. "I
want to do well. The expec-
tations are high with the his-
tory of the team and the girls
on this team."
The past two years under
long-time coach Robert
Sampson, the Lady Streaks
went undefeated during regu-
lar season play.

trict tournament, they were in
the driver's seat and they
won two district champi-
onships.
In 2006, the Lady Streaks
were defeated in the first
game of the state champi-
onship tournament by
Lakeland Kathleen. The 18-9
Kathleen Red Devils defeat-
ed the 22-0 Lady Streaks 48-
47.
Last year, the undefeated
Sebring squad met Kathleen
again in the first round.
Sebring ousted Kathleen
with a 43-38 win. The
Streaks were then defeated
by eventual state runner-up
Dunbar in the .
next round. I leai
This year the kids.
Sebring has
had a few loss- persever
es, but the
expectations giving ul
are still high.
That is fine to wor
with Lee. He
has seen times do
in his coaching
career when MIK
the hopes were Sebring girls b
not very high.
In 1998 he stepped up
from the junior varsity
coaching job to become the
head coach for the Lake
Placid boys. With a squad of
mostly underclassmen, the
Green Dragons posted just
one win for the season.
"The expectation here is to
win a district championship.
At Lake Placid, it was mostly
ninth and tenth graders on
varsity," Lee said. "Our goal
was to be competitive and
make a good showing at the
tournament.
Lee saw some lessons in
that experience and he led
the team for two more sea-
sons with more success.
"I learned from the kids. I
learned perseverance, not
giving up, coming to work
every day. The kids that year

could have quit. They were
getting it from their friends
and other kids, but they
showed up every day and
tried to get better.
"Steve Bullard, my high
school coach, told me
'Whether you win or lose, do
it with class. Shake their
hand after the game. Look
them in the eye and go back
to work to beat them the next
time.' "
Today that experience is
part of Lee's perspective on
the wins and losses.
"I may be the only one that
feels this way, but losing to
Land '0 Lakes, a very good
team, doesn't hurt as much as
losing to DeSoto, Braden
River or LaBelle. I have a
hard time when we don't
play like we
ed jrom can and lose.

team, when we

basketball coach "Girls think
that sometimes you just show
up and it doesn't happen that
way. Trying to stay motivat-
ed every game is a challenge..
We get everybody's best
game every time. Everybody
wants to beat Sebring."
Whatever happens this sea-
son, Mike Lee has one big
expectation for his squad. He
hopes every girl on the Lady
Streaks' roster takes home
some life lessons from bas-
ketball.
"That is the beauty of high
school sports," he said.
"There is a lot more than
winning. If you have those
qualities of perseverance and
hard work you are going to
be successful in life."
Those are some great
expectations for every high
school basketball team.

During the first two min-

the Devils a bit and extended
their lead 52-42.
Trying to stop the rally,
DeSoto switched to man-to-

their advantage to cap the

The win over the Bulldogs
puts Avon Park in a good spot
for the upcoming district
play-offs next week, but the
Lady Devils have to face two
more tough non-district
games before then, facing
Pendelton Prep and
Okeechobee.
"I don't know why I sched-
uled them at the end of the
season like that," said
Daley. "But they should help
us keep our game up going
