Parents upsel

overESEvacancy

at dislict office

Program lacks director,
not direction

By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy@newssun.com
SEBRING More than a few dis-
gruntled parents attended Tuesday's
monthly school board meeting to voice
their displeasure over the handling of the'
Exceptional Student Education program.
Mike Altman addressed the board on
behalf of 15 parents in attendance, cit-
ing "unfavorable" ESE treatment.
The head of the ESE department,
Connie Tzovarras, retired this month
leaving a vacancy.
Parents indicated they were anxiously
awaiting new blood to fill the position.
"There is a lot of disappointment oqt
there when you realize it's not going to
happen," Altman said about the district
waiting to make anew hire. "(Tzovarras)
caused the need for this change, but the
current ESE second in command.is now
first in command."
The ESE department works with stu-
dents that have emotional, physical or
behavioral disabilities, or are speech or
language impaired.
Tzovarras was most recently the direc-
tor of ESE and Student Services, a posi-
tion created to oversee both departments:
Tzovarras was the head of the ESE
department for.23 years prior to absorb-
ing Student Services-into her title.
- The ESE coordinator under Tzovarras,
Becky: Johnson, h'as taken over for the
short-term as director of ESE and
.Student Services, but said her policies
and attention to ESE will not change.
"I will carry on and do what is right
for the kids," she said. "I'm not going to
suddenly do an about face and dump the
department."
Patty Jackson was named the new
Student Services .coordinator and will
oversee that department now that
Tzovarras has left, with some help from
Johnson.
ESE was to remain her priority,
Johnson said.
"(Johnson) has done a great job over a
long period of time and is very dedicated
to our school district," Superintendent
Wally Cox said.
Johnson has served different roles
within the ESE department for 24 years.
Altman was displeased when the
board and Cox decided to take their time
filling the position, citing shortfalls in
the budget.

for water conser1a8ion


By MATT MURPHY
matt.murphy@newssun.com
LAKE PLACID Signs are pop-
ping up all around Lake Placid, urg-
ing residents to conserve water in'the
face of Florida's continuing drought.
The signs are the result of a part-
nership between the town and the
Southwest Florida Water
Management District, as part of the
district's ongoing "campaign" to
raise public awareness about water
issues.
The signs read "It's a drought.
Conserve!" and feature a link to
SWFWMD's Web site. They can cur-
rently be seen in five Lake-Placid
locations, including on Main Street,
Interlake Boulevard, and DeVane
Park.
The town received seven signs in
total, and Utilities Director Gary
Freeman is still looking for a good
spot to place the other two.


SWFWMD "called me and asked if
we could do it, and we got approval"
from Town Council, Freeman said.
The council approved the signs at its
last meeting, and Freeman started
placing them last week.
The idea for the signs came out of
a SWFWMD board meeting last
month, and is patterned after a simi-
lar effort taking place in Atlanta,
SWFWMD spokesperson Robyn
Hanke said.
"It's a grassroots way of posting
signs around the area," Hanke said.
"We paid the costs, and we've had a
big response. We've been pleasantly
surprised at how many city and coun-
ty governments are participating."
SWFWMD contacted city and
county governments throughout the
district, and 30 government and/or
utility groups are participating,

SEBRING Supervisor of Elections Joe
Campbell wasn't sure whether the query
was sincere or in jest but he said there's no
truth to a rumor that only Republicans can
vote during the presidential preferential pri-
mary Tuesday.
Early voting polls closed Saturday.
Standard polling locations will be open 7
a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
"I don't know if these people were kid-
ding me," Campbell said about the rumor
Friday afternoon.
To be sure, all registered Florida voters
can vote during the closed primary, meaning
Democrats can only vote for Democrat can-
didates and likewise with Republicans.
Those registered as no party affiliation or
with so-called third parties can only cast-
ballots on the Amendment 1 initiative.
By mid-afternoon Friday, 6,136
Highlands residents'had passed through one
of the three early voting stations. In addi-

Sebfing


Loughlin best known
for role in 'A Time to
Kill'

By MATT MURPHY
inatt.mauphy@ newssun.com
SEBRING Throughout
his 25-year career, actor and
Sebrng native Terry Loughlin
has hung out in Miami with
Denzel Washington, been
locked in a room with Dustin
Hoffman, and been lectured at
by Kevin Spacey and
Matthew McConaughey.
"I've been one of the lucky,
lucky guys who have been
able to make a living at it,"
Loughlin said of his acting
career.
He has primarily played
smaller character roles on
both the big and small
screens, in movies large and
small. His next role will be in
the Christian film "Me & You,


Us, Forever," which comes
out Feb. 15 in 83 theaters
nationwide, including here in
Sebring.
In the film, Loughlin por-
trays the leader of a divorce
group, which the film's main
character is participating in.
"The movie has people
dealing with their problems in
a spiritual way, but it's not
preachy," Loughlin said. "It's
faith-based, but (Director
Dave Christiano) is not hitting
you over the head with it."
Loughlin hasn't seen the
movie yet, and won't until it
premiers. He doesn't have a
problem with watching him-
self on screen, but he likes to
scout out his films before rec-
ommending them to others.
"It's an odd thing to watch
yourself on film," he said.
Loughlin's career began,
oddly enough, on a dare. One
of Loughlin's fraternity broth-


Ue


ers was audi-
tioning for a
play and
wanted some
company, so
Loughlin
decided to tag
along. The Loughlin
decision
would prove to be mon.umen-
tal.
"I went in and auditioned,
and in the first 20 seconds I
knew I would be doing it for
the rest of my life," he said.
Loughlin started out doing
theater until the early 1980s,
when the film industry in his
then-home state of North
Carolina began to pick up. He
started out doing several
small movies in an effort to
learn the acting profession.
"The first (movies) weren't
good," Loughlin said. "But I
got to learn."
From there, he graduated to


r movie premiering next month


a series of television roles,
including recurring spots on
the successful TV series
"Matlock" and "In the .Heat of
the Night." He also co-starred
in a series of television
movies in the early 19.90s,
many of which he's never
even watched. During that
span, Loughlin tended to play
"basically good guys,"
including generals, doctors
and lawyers.
But it was his role in the
successful 1996 film "A Time
to Kill" that changed the
entire arc of his career. In the
film, an adaptation of best-
selling author John Grisham's
first, book, Loughlin played a
prominent supporting role as
the racist jury foreman in the
murder case that forms the
movie's central plotline.
While making the movie,
Loughlin had no idea how
prominent his -role would


become.
"I had no idea what the
films look like until I see
them in the theater," he said.
"I didn't know (Director Joel)
Schumacher used me as much
as he did."
The role was very impor-
tant to Loughlin's career, and
it opened the door to bigger
things. "'A Time to Kill' put
me in a little better bracket,"
he said.
The film was also
Loughlin's first real shot at
playing'a bad guy, but it was
only the beginning of his tran-
sition into more evil roles -
which is just fine with him.
"Playing bad guys and big-
ots is way more fun," he said.
Since then, Loughlin has
appeared in several prominent
pictures, including 1999's
"October Sky," 2001's
"Domestic Disturbance,"
2003's "Out of Time," and


2004's "The Punisher."
Loughlin's role in "The
Punisher," as a gun-toting vil-
lain named Spoon, was espe-
cially fun because it gave him
the opportunity to play with
firearms.
"I got to do the gunfight
scene I wanted to do my
whole life," he said. "I shot
everyone, basically."
Loughlin is now in a state
of. "semi-retirement," in
which he can pick and choose
his roles carefully. Now that
he's not constantly in search
of acting work, Loughlin is
able to devote significant time
to his other love -tennis. And
even though he is usually in a
supporting role in his films,
people still take notice of him
from time to time.
"I get recognized quite a
lot," Loughlin said, "usually
from people saying 'don't I
know you?'"

When The Word

"Service" Meant

Something?
We remember when people took the time to
serve others. Our family has been helping
families here for many years. A our town
has grown, we have grown too, with more
specialized services, such as out-of-town
arrangements, pre-arrangements, cremations
and a grief recovery program. Even though
we have grown, our dedication to service is
still the same as it was years ago. And, we
think that's really something.

recommend we leave vacant
for very long; it's just you
can't do things when you are
facing severe budget short-
falls."
The vacancy has already
been advertised but received
very little interest.
Cox said there were only
three applicants, all in-house.
Assistant chairman Andy
Tuck wanted to know why
there weren't any out of dis-
trict applicants.
"This time of year people
are committed to their con--
tracts," Cox said.
Waiting a few months
might result in a larger pool
of applicants.
"Basically I'm holding it
vacant for two to four
months," Cox said. "I chose
to delay that for financial rea-
sons; all three (applicants) are


quality people and highly
dedicated employees."
Friday afternoon Cox said
he had highly experienced
administrators in place to
cover the position vacancy
until the end of the school
year.
"I think it is a crucial posi-
tion, I think the Director of

"It's just sometimes you can't

severe budget shortfalls."
Cox has the "utmost confi-
dence" in Johnson's ability to
handle her new role.
"She is a true children's

Supervisor of Elections Joe
Campbell stressed two impor-
tant points to remember when
coming to vote Tuesday, or
any day for that matter.
1) Bring a picture ID and a
signature ID. In the case of a
Florida driver's license, it
fulfills both requirements.
However, out-of-state dri-
ver's licenses are not
allowed.
Other acceptable forms of
picture or signature identifi-
cation include U.S. passports,
Florida I.D. cards issued by
the Dept. of Motor Vehicles,
debit/credit cards, military
and student I.D.s, and identi-
fication cards issued by
retirement centers, neighbor-
hood associations, public
assistance agencies, employ-
ers and buyer's cards such as
a Sam's Wholesale Club card.

2) Completely fill in the
oval.
"That's very important,"
Campbell said, stressing,
"Don't put check marks and
Xs and all that."
The optical scanners need
adequate ink to county the
vote.


Resurrection Lutheran
Church studies Matthew
AVON PARK On the third
Sunday after Epiphany, the pas-
tor's sermon at Resurrection
Lutheran Church will be based,
on the fourth chapter of
Matthews. At the 8 a.m. service,
the worship assistant will be Bob
Thiel, the Communion assistant
will be Ed Mosser and the lector
will be Barbara Marazza.
Sunday school follows at 9
o'clock.
At the 10:30 service, the wor-
ship assistant will be Jerry Butt,
the Communion assistant will be
Bert Kohler, the lector will be
David George. and the acolyte
will be Nicholas McGinnis. Holy
Eucharist will be celebrated at
both services: Coffee and fellow-
ship will follow the 10:30 service
in Burke Hall.


tion, Campbell's office has
received 814 absentee ballots
of about 1,100 sent out.
Wednesday was the final
day that absentee ballots
could be requested by mail.
Through Tuesday, they can be
requested in person by the
*voter or by a designee bearing
a letter with a signature that
can be bounced against a
voter card.
Absentee ballots, Campbell
said, must be submitted by 7
p.m. on election day.
','The only difference, on
federal elections like this,
overseas absentee ballots can
come up to 10 days after the
election," he said.
Of those that arrive late,
only votes cast for federal

races would be applied. State
and local races would be
unaffected.
During the last presidential
election, only four absentee
ballots came after the election
but within the time window.
"In Highlands County
every vote that is cast is going
to count if it's a legal vote,"
Campbell said dispelling
another myth, that Democrat
votes won't matter. "Florida
is a very important state.
They're watching."
Of the early votes cast by
Friday, 2,347 were Democrat,
3,204 were Republican and
585 were "other."
"I'm pleased," Campbell
said of the turnout, which he
said is a little more than he
anticipated.
Poll volunteers are instruct-
ed not to talk politics, he said,
so he can't say whether .the


Campbell said there were no
noticeable jumps between
party affiliations.
However, they said there
was a trend away from the
major parties to no party affil-


iation.
"I don't know if they were
just trying to send a message
to both parties," Campbell
said. "It's hard to read their
minds."

leadership skills through pro-
grams such as a college
preparation curriculum and
college tour, financial literacy
programs, new health and fit-
ness activities, and more
emphasis on science, technol-
ogy, engineering, and math.
"We recognize that girls
view leadership in different
ways, so we do whatever we
can to offer a broad range of
leadership experiences to,
every Girl Scout," said Sandi
Stewart, chief executive offi-
cer of Girl Scouts of
Gulfcoast Florida Inc.
"We are proud to provide
activities that will continue to
inspire our girls and that give
them the strength to meet
their personal life chal-
lenges."
Some specific programs, in
which teen girls. can get
involved include the "College
Bound" program that guides
girls through important ques-
tions relevant to preparing for
college,.
High school teens can par-
ticipate in the program inde-
pendently or attend the sum-
mer College Bound tour


around Florida in 2008.
Programs offered to girls in
grades four and up include a
comprehensive wetlands and
environmental leadership
program; acoustic guitar
workshops; creative, prob-
lem-solving, leadership work-
shops; team building at the
new low-elements challenge
course at Camp Honi Hanta in
Bradenton; and certification
classes for CPR, first aid,
babysitting, scuba, and other
life skills programs.
With a focus on youth obe-
sity prevention, Girl Scouts
of Gulfcoast Florida, Inc. has
added more health and fitness
programs for girls. of all ages
as well as a substance abuse
prevention through the new
"brain awareness" and
"Journey to a Healthier Life"
initiative. An additional
emphasis is being given to
kindergarten and first-grade
Confronted by a national
lack of data on girls and lead-
ership, the Girl Scout
Research Insfitute (GSRI) has
launched a body of work to
identify what girls need to
succeed as leaders.
This work is designed to
support, and accelerate a
national transformation
launched in 2006 to modern-
ize Girl' Scouting as the pre-
mier leadership experience
for girls in the 21st century.


The Girl Scout Research
institute has released a new
review -of research on girls
and leadership, "Exploring
Girls' Leadership," that iden-
tifies a lack of gender-specif-
ic data on youth leadership
To address the need for fur-
ther research, the GSRI has
begun an original national
study scheduled for release
this spring. In addition, the
GSRI is developing tools to
measure the new Girl Scout
leadership programming to be
introduced this fall.
"While many programs
exist to help youth build lead-
ership skills, very little data
exists' on how girls experi-
ence leadership and what they
need to succeed in this
arena," says Judy
Schoenberg, director of
Research & Outreach for the
Girl Scout Research Institute.
"As the voice of girls, the
Girl Scout Research Institute
is taking on the task of identi-
fying what girls need to
develop their full leadership
potential."
Founded in 1912, Girl
Scouts of the USA is the pre-
eminent leadership develop-
ment organization for girls
with 3.7 million girl and adult
members worldwide. Girl
Scouting is 'the leading
authority on girls' healthy
development.

APYA students help raise money for CAC




2.












News-Surn photo by CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
Every year the Avon Park Youth Academy staff and student join in a fundraising event to
benefit the Children's Advocacy Center. This year they contributed the largest amount to
date $2,200. Much of the money came from the sales of student-made yard decora-
tions, constructed out of scrap lumber. But students also donated credits they had
earned. Credits are rewards which equate with money and may be used to buy snacks,
clothing, etc. at the academy student store. For the fundraiser, the academy paid a dollar
for every 10 credits donated, the money going directly to the advocacy center. 'Youthful
offenders are the most selfish people on the planet,' Pete Zeegers, the executive director
of the academy said. 'They get what they want. If it's not given, they take it. So it's phe-
nomenal to see them give something back.' Here, Kevin Roberts, CEO of the Children
Services Foundation (left) and Nancy Hensley, Chairwoman of the Children's Services
Foundation (second form right), accept the check from (from left) Joyce Norsko, who was
in charge of the drive, Bob Bucy, director of Home Builders Institute, which provides
vocational instruction and sponsored the drive, and Pete Zeegers.

CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION
ARTICLE VII, SECTIONS 3,4, AND 6
ARTICLE XII, SECTION 27
(Legislative)

Property Tax Exemptions; Limitations On Property Tax
Assessments
This revision proposes changes to the State Constitution relating to
property taxation. With respect to homestead property, this revision: (1)
increases the homestead exemption except for school district taxes and
(2) allows homestead property owners to transfer up to $500,000 of their
Save-Our-Homes benefits to their next homestead. With respect to
nonhomestead property, this revision (3) provides a $25,000 exemption
for tangible personal property and (4) limits assessment increases for
specified nonhomestead real property except for school district taxes.
In more detail, this revision:
(1) Increases the homestead exemption by exempting the
assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000. This exemption does not
apply to school district taxes.
(2) Provides for the transfer of accumulated
Save-Our-Homes benefits. Homestead property owners will be able to
transfer their Save Our-Homes benefit to a new homestead within 1 year
and not more than 2 years after relinquishing their previous homestead;
except, if this revision is approved by the electors in January of 2008
and if the new homestead is established on January 1, 2008, the
revious homestead must have been relinquished in 2007. If the new
homestead has a higher just value than the previous one, the
accumulated benefit can be transferred; if the new homestead has a

Further, this revision:

when it was less than. $25,000 and did not apply uniformly to property
taxes levied by all local governments.
b. Provides for-homestead exemptions to be repealed if a

homesteads "at less than lust value" rather than as currently provided

NO. 1
CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION
ARTICLE VII, SECTIONS 3, 4, AND 6
ARTICLE XII, SECTION 27
(Legislative)


Property Tax Exemptions; Limitations On Property Tax
Assessments
This revision proposes changes to the State Constitution relating to
property taxation. With respect to homestead property, this revision: (1)
increases the homestead exemption except for school district taxes and
(2) allows homestead property owners to transfer up to $500,000 of their
Save-Our-Homes benefits to their next homestead. With respect to
nonhomestead property, this revision (3) provides a $25,000 exemption
for tangible personal property and (4) limits assessment increases for
specified nonhomestead real property except for school district taxes.
In more detail, this revision:
(1) Increases the homestead exemption by exempting the
assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000. This exemption does not
apply to school district taxes.
(2) Provides for the transfer of accumulated
Save-Cur-i mes benefits. Homestead property owners will be able to
transfer-iheir Save-Our-Homes benefit to a new homestead within 1 year
and not more than 2 years after relinquishing their previous homestead;
except, if this revision is approved by the electors in January of 2008
and if the new homestead is established on January 1,2008, the
previous homestead must have been relinquished in 2007. If the new
homestead has a higher just value than the previous one, the
accumulated benefit can be transferred; if the new homestead has a
lower just value, the amount of benefit transferred will be reduced. The
transferred benefit may not exceed $500,000. This provision applies to
all taxes.
(3) Authorizes an exemption from property taxes of $25,000
of assessed value of tangible persqqal0property. This provision applies
,to all taxes..
(4) Limits the assessment increases for specified
nonhomestead real property to 10 percent each year. Property will be
assessed at just value following an improvement, as defined by general
law, and may be assessed at just value following a change of ownership
or control if provided by general law. This limitation does not apply to
school district taxes. This limitation is repealed effective January 1,
2019, unless renewed by a vote of the electors in the general election
held in 2018.
Further, this revision:
a. Repeals obsolete language on the homestead exemption
when it was less than $25,000 and did not apply uniformly to property
taxes levied by all local governments.
.b. Provides for homestead exemptions to be repealed if a
future constitutional amendment provides for assessment of
homesteads "at less than just value" rather than as currently provided
"at a specified percentage" of just value.
c. Schedules the changes to take effect upon approval by the
electors and operate retroactively to January 1,2008, if approved in a
special election held on January 29, 2008, or to take effect January 1,
2009, if approved in the general election held in November of 2008. The
limitation on annual assessment increases for specified real property
shall first apply to the 2009 tax roll if this revision is approved in a special
election held on January 29, 2008, or shall first apply to the 2010 tax roll
if this revision is approved in the general election held in November of
2008.

Is that ChristopherTuffley on his


way to Broadway? Ahhh, no


This month, I prepared to go on
stage.
Not my idea. I'm too shy to really
be able to enjoy performing in pub-
lic.
But my editor made it clear I had
no choice. I would audition for the
Highlands Little Theater's upcoming
production of "The Pirates of
Penzance," which opens March 28.
Actually, she added, I didn't really
have to audition. The fix was in, she
said. I would be in the chorus.
Now I have to admit, a part of me
was a little, bit excited. I acted in
high school with some success, and I
do love the theater.
In fact, one of my favorite
moments in the world is when I sit
back in my seat as a part of an audi-
ence and listen to the orchestra tune
their instruments into a harmonious
whole.
The anticipation and excitement
thrill me.
That's partly because I am.a huge
believer in teams and teamwork, so I
have a natural admiration for people
who cooperate in groups, like casts
and crews any assembly of fridi-
viduals who become something more
by working together.
And I love the performing arts
because of all the energy and Tmove-
ment; the fabulous sounds and
sights as people act, sing and dance
out a story. It's like spreading
magic.
But.
Something happens between the
moment I sing a song in my head,
and I let it come past my vocal cords
and out into the world.
I mean the poor notes get twisted
and flattened, and beaten all to heck.
It's so bad, in fact, that people,
including me, usually can't recog-

nize the tune I am singing.
I am one of the few people I
know, who, when I was married, had
the water shut off whenever I sang
in the, shower, That was because I
upset the cat.
I wish I could sing. I'd love to be
able tosing. But somehow I can't.
Oh, I might get a note here and
there right on the button, but that's
almost depressing because it's by
accident and I can never do it twice
in a row.
Add to that the fact that my par-
ents, when I was about 13 or so, got'
the highly mistaken idea I wanted to
learn how to play the accordion.
Mind you this was in the 1960s,
the time of Kumbaya and acoustic
guitars.
That I lugged an accordion around
in high school did nothing to dispel
my already nerdish reputation.
Between acne and that accordion,
those days were pretty much of a
torment.
So you can imagine that my feel-
ings about performing music, at
least out loud, is ambivalent at best.
My feelings betrayed me, for

Even if I was a ringer I had to go
through the motions, but my mind
went blank when I was asked what I
wanted to sing.
Finally Ruth Ann Esseltine, the
accompanist and Kirstin Taylor,the


musical director, suggested I sing
the song "Happy Birthday."

skidded to a stop on the
road. The driver, in expen-
sive designer clothes and
sunglasses, leaned out of the
window and shouted over to
the farmer, "Mister, if I can
tell you exactly how many
sheep you have here, can I
take one?"
The farmer looked up
slowly up at the young man,
then at his sheep, and
answered, "Sure, go for it."
The driver stepped out of
his car holding a state-of-
the-art palmtop PDA. He
then connected to a series of
Web sites, first calling up a
satellite navigation system to
pinpoint his location. He
then generated an ultra-high
resolution picture of the
field. After he e-mailed the
photo to an image processing
facility, the processed data
was returned, which he then
fed into an online database,
entering the parameters for a
report. Within another few
seconds a miniature printer
in the car produced a full
color report with several

In defense of reading


Let me say I have nothing
against Steve Jobs, or Apple.
His commercials praising the
Mac above the PC are funny
(if inaccurate) the first cou-
ple of times I've seen them.
The iPod is my sanity saver
and I'm thinking about
upgrading it with a bigger
drive.
But Jobs apparently said
something in a recent New
York Times interview that
did not endear him to me. It
was in response to questions
about an Amazon product,
Kindle.
For those who have no
idea what I'm talking about,
when I say "Amazoni," I
mean the Internet shopping
enterprise that started as an
Internet book seller a few
years ago. "Kindle" is a new
device it has developed that
will allow people to read
books they have downloaded
from select Web sites.
So, it seems that there was
a question as to if Apple
would compete in this eBook
reader market. The following
was Jobs' response.
"It doesn't matter how
good or bad the product [the
Kindle] is, the fact is that
people don't read anymore.


Laura's
Look
Laura Ware
Forty percent of the people
in the U.S. read one book or
less last year. The whole con-
ception is flawed at the top
because people don't read
anymore."
As a writer, I find this
statement disturbing. As a
bookworm, I find it mildly
insulting.
In doing research for this
column, I came across anoth-
er disquieting fact: according
to a story that ran on several
Web sites, 25 percent of the
American population read no
books in 2006. Furthermore,
the article said books sales
were flat and probably would
stay that way "indefinitely."
Now, this sounds like the
novel is an endangered
species. And we haven't
even discussed the short
story. Both stories leave an
impression of doom and
gloom.
I don't buy it.
For one thing, bookstores
seem to be doing just fine.
When I go into Books-a-
Million, I see people buying
books. I doubt they are buy-


ing them as decorations, or
to prop open a door. My sus-
picion is they are buying
these books to read.
If Jobs is right, 60 percent
of Americans read more than
one book last year. I'm
uncertain how he got the idea
"people don't read anymore"
from his statistics, but maybe
he read them wrong.
I'm .not denying a lot of
people don't read for pleas-
ure. I live with some of
them. But.I don't think they
signal the end of the literary
world as we know it.
And I freely admit I don't
understand them. How could
you not enjoy reading for
pleasure?
My mom was big on read-
ing. "If you can read, you
can learn anything," she
often said. She was a vora-
cious reader herself.
Of her four children, I was
bitten by the bookworm bug
the hardest. I don't know
how many books I've read in
my lifetime, but if you
stacked them the stack would
probably fall over and hurt
you.
Reading for pleasure can
be the cheapest vacation you

Quite a welcome home


Five hours, two naps, and
35 text messages later, I
arrived at my house. I left my
bags in the back of the
Expedition and hurried to the
door. I inserted my key into
the lock when I realized the
door was already unlocked. I
turned the knob and proceed-
ed inside when suddenly I
was startled by "Georgia!"
My 2-year-old brother was
obviously excited to see me
and he had no shame. He
instantly stopped writing all
over the mail, dropped his
pen and ran towards me at
100 mph. He jumped in to
my arms and I embraced him
with love and many wet kiss-
es. I could not hide my
excitement. I missed him just
as much, if not morethan he
missed me.
When I left at the begin-
ning of the fall semester I
was afraid that he would not
recognize me when I returned


home for winter break but I
obviously had nothing to
worry about. It was as if I
had never left. I had to put
him down to go back to the
vehicle and get my luggage,
but as I walked out the door
he started to cry fearing that
I would leave him again. To
comfort him I put him around
my neck and took him out
'with me:
The next day I had to take
him to day care but it was
OK because for the next two
weeks he skipped day care
and spent nearly 20 hours
everyday with his big sister.
We went to the movies to
see "The Chipmunks," and he
had such a wonderful time
that he made me forget it was
a movie for children and that
I was 20 years old. I really
enjoyed myself and the best
part was seeing him smile.
We ate imaginary food every
day. He seemed to really get


On My Mind

a kick out of eating chips and
drinking juice that were not
really there but so did I.
I realized while I was
home that my little brother is
my favorite person in the
world. There is no one else I
would have rather spent my
winter break with than him.
Because he is so young, he
live's life like it is no big
deal.
He has inspired me to do
the same and take life one
day at a time!

resident currently attending

Inside Your
Government
Mary Myers


Library usage

is going up

* Editor's note: This is one
in a series explaining the
functions of various
Highlands County govern-
ment offices.

The Highlands County
Library System efficiently
provides services that are
vital to the quality of life in
our communities. Highlands
County citizens prove the
value of their public
libraries, visiting more than
325,000 times last year and
checking out more than
366,000 items.
In fulfilling its role as the
primary resource for infor-
mation, reading, research,
and popular media in print,
non-print, and electronic for-
mats, the Highlands County
Library System serves as the
"knowledge navigator" for
our citizens. Moreover,
enjoyment of contemporary
and classic books, audiovisu-
al items, and other library
materials is a worthwhile
way to spend leisure time.
Highlands County public
libraries help foster the love
of reading and the literacy of
our children. Children
checked out 56,751 chil-
dren's books last year, which
was a 21 percent increase
from the previous year.
Our public libraries offer
year-roun' programming for,
children' including story time
in the libraries and outreach
story time at local day care
centers and schools. Our
summer library reading pro-
grams encourage the love of
books and develop new
library users.
Our libraries also reach
out to very young readers
and their caregivers through
the Born to Read program,
which teaches the impor-
tance of reading in the brain
development of young chil-
dren. Born to Read is a suc-
cessful partnership program
that has the support of such
local organizations as the
Sebring Sunrise Rotary and

MYERS
Continued from 18A
the Children's Services
Council.
The Highlands County
Library System provides vital
Internet and e-government
access to thousands of our
citizens. Our public Internet
computers were used 51,771
times during the last year.
Libraries have become agents
of e-government services,
some of which are only
available online. The
libraries' connectivity is a
necessity for people without
a computer or Internet access
at home. Also, of particular
importance to our county, our
libraries have proven crucial
to hurricane recovery as
communication centers.
A recent study conducted
by the State Library of
Florida, Taxpayer Return on
Investment in Florida Public
Libraries showed that
libraries bring $6.54 into
their community for every
dollar spent on libraries serv-
ices. The total revenue
investment in Florida's pub-
lic libraries is $449 million.
The total economic return
attributable to the existence
of the public libraries is $2.9


billion.
The economic benefit can
be seen in jobs created,
increased wages for Florida's
residents and positive impact
on Florida's gross regional
product.
Our county citizens can be
assured that funds spent on
libraries will be used for
maximized and value-added
benefits. Library users over-
whelmingly say libraries use
public monies well. The
majority of library users are
willing to pay more to sup-
port their libraries.
However, Highlands' pub-
lic libraries, along with all
the public libraries in the
state, face a challenging
future. Although Highlands
County Libraries are not
experiencing shorter hours of
operation or staff layoffs, we
did face a hiring freeze and
received reductions in our
materials budgets this year,
as a result of the property tax
rollbacks mandated by the
State Legislature. Any future
funding cuts will only further
jeopardize the ability of our
public libraries to serve the
needs of our citizens.

Mary Myers is the Highlands
County Library Director

Books are portable enter-

If you haven't read for

you don't want to spend the

Continued from 17A
tips at parties I usually
just mouth the words.
But there was nothing for
it but to do it, so I braced
myself and sang.
And here came a surprise.
Esseltine played notes I
could match. It turns out I'm
a bass. I'd always thought I
was a tenor well, I'mri
short after all while really
I belong at the opposite end
of the scale. I can reach low
notes and actually sing them.
That doesn't mean I can
find them on my-own, how-
ever. Taylor has told me to
'lean in to someone whose
voice I trust. And while I feel
it's a little like sneaking a
peek on a math quiz, I'm told
it's not only allowed, it's
encouraged..
Especially with interesting,
,complex music like what we
are singing.
I never mastered reading
music when I was young.
Today all I know is that when
the notes go up the lines, the
voice 'goes higher too. But
that when there are a lot of
notes on top of one another,
everyone sings higher a little
differently.
Remember, this operetta
was written when music was


more formal, at a time when
shows used full orchestras
and large choruses. The
sound is wonderful, rich -
complicated and resonating
with all kinds of harmonies.
It is a delightful score to sing
as well as to hear.
For example, an early duet
between Frederick, the hero
of the play, and Ruth, his for-
mer nurse maid, is an innova-
tive piece that requires two
actors to sing the same tune
in harmony, but with differ-
ent lyrics. This is something
that modern composers, like
Stephen Sondheim, now do
regularly and audiences
accept without question.
Back in the 19th century,
however, this was something
that had never been heard
before and was amazing. The
amazement now is that the
sound is still fresh.
So I lean into the bass, next
to me ... only last week he
warned me he wasn't so sure,
of himself, so I should be
careful.
But here comes the best
part.
Even though I am insecure,
and tend to rattle around in
the basement looking for "G"
(whatever that is),, Taylor and
Jim McCollum, the produc-
tion's director, are encourag-
ing and supportive. The other

night they made me feel
almost self-confident.
If you've ever wondered
about appearing on stage, the
Highlands Little Theater is a
terrific way to begin.
They have three rules:
Enunciate and sell the plot.
Use the face, be expressive'
and reflect what is happening
on stage. And timing; it is all
in the timing, develop a preg-
nant pause and double-take.
They promised we'd


rehearse enough that none of
us would look foolish.
Because they also prom-
ised we would have fun, and
that has turned out to be true,
I am prepared to believe
them.
Of course the proof will
come with an audience.
And whether or not 'm

pages of analysis and results.
The young man studied the data and said,
"You have 1,586 sheep, including three rams,
and 722 lambs."
"That's exactly right," said the farmer,
impressed. "I guess that means you get to
take one of my sheep."
The young man makes his choice and loads
the animal onto the back seat of his car.
The farmer interrupts him b,' :lightly lift-
ing his hand, saying, "Say, uh, mister...... if'n
I can tell you what line of work you are in,
will you give me back my sheep?"
The young man confidently agrees.
"You're a consultant."
"Wow, that's right," says the young man,
taken aback, "How did you guess that?"
-,,The farmer said, "Not a guess. You showed

charged a fee for giving me an answer that I
already know to a question I never asked
you. Not only that, you seem to know nothing
about my business.
"Now give me back my dog."
Yes, modern technology is here to stay and
even a farmer.needs to employ it in the busi-
ness of farming.' Sometimes it's easy*to get
too focused on the data, though, and assume
we know all the basics about what is going
on. And sometimes that assumption is incor-
rect.
I don't mind telling this story at the
expense of consultants as long as the reader
will remember that consultants aren't the only
ones who can trip over their own ignorance.
As a wise man once said to me, "It's not so
much what you don't know that will hurt you.
It's what you don't know you don't know."

ors of travel. A large base-
ment foundation had been
dug, poured and was ready
and waiting.
When one of the trucks
that brought it got mired in
mud, the house sat there
like four huge jigsaw puz-
zle pieces waiting to be put
together.
With perseverance, our
builder and his crew got
the truck out of its predica-
ment. We stood mesmer-
ized as the workers put the
four pieces of the house
together. A crane lifted the
final two top halves and
gently placed them on top
of the first floor already in
place. Piece by piece, our
house was made whole.
This process reminds me
that building a life that is
godly has some of the
same characteristics. We
can't start at the top. We
must start at the bottom
with a good foundation.
The Bible tells us in I
Corinthians 3:11, NIV,
"For no one can lay any
foundation other than the
one already laid, which is
Christ Jesus."
What does building
godly character upon this
firm foundation look like,
practically speaking?
We need to begin by
humbly recognizing who
we are without God; who
he is; and, who we can
become when we trust in
him and he indwells us.
Then we can begin the
process of being holy as he
is holy as he asks us to
do.
Holiness begins when
we give God our hearts to
form and mold; when we
allow him to transform our
minds so we think thoughts
that please him; and, when
we let go so he can con-
form our will to his superi-
or will.
How do we assess
whether that puzzle is
coming together in our
lives? A look at just a few
of God's attributes is help-
ful.
God is faithful. Are we?
Do we keep our word? Do
we honor our commit-
ments?
God forgives. Do we
forgive others when they
wrong us? Do we entrust
the outcome to a just God
rather than seeking retribu-
tion or carrying a grudge?
God is merciful. He
withholds what we deserve
through having taken upon
him our sins on the cross.
Do we extend mercy to
others when we feel they
deserve to be punished?
God is gracious.
Thilugh Christ, he gave us
w.lt we don't deserve -
sattion and eternal life.
Are we gracious to others
when we feel offended or
hurt?
Sometimes we may get
mired in muddy situations
that delay the building of
godly character. But God
asks us to persevere. Piece
by piece, he will help us to
be whole and holy. Selah

Water treatment ponds: Why they're important uw


You see them along the
roads, in the mall parking
lots, and even in your neigh-
borhoods. Water treatment
ponds, also known as storm
water ponds, retention ponds
and detention ponds are pop-
ping up all over. As more and
more development occurs, we
will see even more of these
ponds dotting our landscape.
These ponds are designed
to collect storm water runoff
in an effort to filtrate pollu-
tants, control flooding issues
and control flow. As with all
water, the water that goes
through these ponds will
eventually end up in the
ocean. These ponds help to
"clean" or filter the water
before it gets there. In addi-
tion, because of their water
holding capacity, they help to
reduce the possibility of
flooding. If these ponds were
not installed, think about
where all of that runoff
would flow.
As you have seen, these
ponds are put in when new
development occurs. When a


land use changes,
the way the water
runoff would nor-
mally flow is usual-
ly affected. For
example, if a mall is
constructed and a
parking lot is put in,
when it rains the
water will not soak
into the ground
since it is paved.
Before the mall was
there, chances are
the rain percolated


News
From The
Watershed

Corine Burgess


into the ground and went on
its merry way into our
ground water, which eventu-
ally made its way into our
lakes. Now, with the asphalt,
it certainly doesn't go into
the ground. That water is
called runoff; but where does
it go?
That is the question and
that is why we have these
water treatment ponds. These
ponds are designed in such a
way that the runoff will go
into the constructed basin
(water treatment pond). Once
the run-off makes its way to


the pond, it is "fil-
tered" so that the
bulk of the pollu-
tants are removed
before they reach
our ground water.
This pollutant
removal process can
occur in a number
of ways. The majori-
ty of pollutants are
removed through -the
gravitational
-process. They sim-
ply settle to the bot-


tom of the pond. In addition,
aquatic plants and microor-
ganisms that reside in the
pond can also assist in
removal of pollutants. The
aquatic plants serve as a fil-
ter and assist in the sediment
filtration process and.can
remove metals and nutrients
through biological uptake
and degradation of organic
contaminants.
Did you know that the
most common major cause of
pollution of streams, rivers
and oceans is surface water
running off yards, streets,


paved lots and farm fields?
Pollutants such as gasoline
and oil from our vehicles and
pesticides and fertilizers
from our lawns will, hopeful-
ly, pass through a water treat-
ment pond or natural wetland
before it reaches our ground-
water, lakes and eventually
our ocean. These wet areas
serve as a "cleaning area" for
the polluted water.
So next time you see one
of these ponds, you will
understand how important
they are. Without them and
natural wetlands, our water
would not have a place to go
to be filtered and held before
it reaches its destination. We
are fortunate in Florida to be
blessed with so many wet-
lands, both natural and man-
made. We need to make sure
the water that runs off, gets
filtered before it reaches our
oceans.

Good work
On Jan, 20, a group of 4-H

together and did something
positive for the environment.
They installed signage on the
storm drains around Lake
Jackson. The Highlands Soil
and Water Conservation
District sponsored the group
and provided the signs and
glue. Safety vests were pro-
vided by Keep Highlands
County Beautiful. By
installing these signs on the
storm drains, it is our hope
that people will think about
what is going into the lakes
before they dump anything
into these storm drains.


This is just one way that a
group of environmentally
minded people have helped
the environment. To find out

to help reduce pollutants in
the water runoff, please con-.

Potential loss of honey bees could have far-reaching impact


Some states report
loss of up to 90
percent of hives
By ANGELA D. SACHSON
Special to the News-Sun
You have no doubt heard
that honey bees are disap-
pearing all over the country.
This is not a rumor.
Beekeepers in 35 states
report as much as a 50-90
percent decline in local popu-
lations and over 30 percent of
honeybees nationwide have
died out so far in 2006-2007.
This is important to every-
one because bee pollination
is needed for 35 percent of
our food supply.
It is common practice for
beekeepers to travel cross
country pulling their bees
behind them and renting
them to farmers for pollina-
tion of crops.

What is happening
Large numbers of worker
bees in an individual hive
simply wander off. They
leave behind the queen, her
eggs and a few younger bees
which then starve. It is as
though the field workers have
become disoriented, have
amnesia or have lost their
sense of direction.
Eventually they die far
from their hive, where
researchers trying to study
this problem have trouble
even finding them.
Ordinarily, other insects or
wild bees would take over
such a vacant hive, but none
will come near these aban-
doned homes until a great
deal of time has passed or the
hive has been fumigated.
Scientists have named this
ailment Colony Collapse
Disorder (CCD) and have
been working hard to deter-
mine the cause. Thanks to
advances in gene research,
top bee researchers have been
able to learn which diseases,
pesticides, fungus and para-
sites are and are not -
present in honey bees with
the disorder.
It looks like a combination
of factors must be present for
CCD to occur, but a new
virus called Israeli acute
paralysis virus is almost
always found in affected
bees. This virus can be trans-
mitted by the Varroa mite and
was first identified ifl Israel
in 2002. Further research will
concentrate on determining
actual cause and, hopefully,
control.
In the meantime,.there is
some good news. Native pol-
linators are already beginning
to become more active.
Even in fields where rented
honey bees are present, polli-
nators such as flies, moths
and wild bumblebees supple-
ment honey bee pollination.
There are more than 4,000
species of native American
pollinators, and it appears
that their activity and that of
other pollinators will increase
if the honey bee population
continues to decline.
Some research indicates a
decline in native species is
also occurring and that is
where everyone has a role to
play.

How you can help
Attract native pollinators
to your garden. Pollinators


are essential for high yield
and high quality of many
vegetables and fruits in the
garden. For example, straw-
berries, squash, mel-ons, cit-
rus, sweet cherries and apples
must have pollinators to
ensure a high yield of good
produce.
When people think of pol-
lination, many focus on bees.
Bees are the principal polli-
nators, but there are other
important pollinators as well.


These include other insects
such as flies, moths, butter-
flies, wasps, and even some
beetles. They also include
hummingbirds and bats.
Gardeners can do several
things to preserve, protect,
and attract pollinators.
1. Diversify garden plant-
ings to offer a variety of
flower colors, fragrances, and
shapes throughout the grow-
ing season. Different flowers
attract different pollinators.


2. Consider leaving flower-
ing weeds such as Spanish
needles or beggar's ticks
(Bidens alba) to serve as
alternate nectar sources for
pollinators.
3. Limit pesticide use.
When insecticides are neces-
sary use those that are least
disruptive and apply when
pol-linators are least active
(very early morning, late
evening or after dark). Never
apply insecticides to plants


that are blooming or when it
is windy.
4. Provide a source of
water, much like that you
give your butterflies.
5. Leave some bare patch-
es. Some female bees nest in
tunnels they dig in the dirt
Bees, including
Africanized bees, visiting
flowers are not a concern.
However, keep your distance
from any bee nest. The
Africanized bee will be very


defensive wheh protecting its
hive. Call a professional to
remove any bee hive. If you
are attacked, run as fast as
you can to cover, such as a
house or a car.
For more information, con-
tact your local extension
office. In Glades County call
956-0244, in Highlands
County call 402-6540, and in
Okeechobee County call 753-
6469. Ask when the Master
Gardeners are available.

Play Review


HLT's 'Seussical' is



a musical delight


By BARBARA HOLT and
DON BRUSHA
Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING Last Friday,
"Seussical The Musical" burst
forth on the Highlands Little
Theatre stage last Friday. The
production proved to be happi-
ly entertaining, and the cast
was exuberant and well
rehearsed.
Director Mike McMillian
has turned in a professional
effort. He clearly established
an able communication with a
large cast. The wide age range
was well and effectively man-
aged.
"Seussical," a Broadway "
success by Lynn Aherns and
Stephen Flaherty, is a compila-
tion of the characters from the
Dr. Seuss children's books.
This is not to suggest that
adults will be left of the enjoy-
ment. The pleasure of seeing
the fancifully portrayed charac-
ters from the animal kingdom


has universal appeal.
The lively Cat in the Hat
mischievously influences those
in the play, including JoJo, the
boy who insists on thinking
and receives banishment to
General Ghenghis Khan
Schmidtz's military school.
Others influenced by the Cat
are: Gertrude McFuzz,'a bird
whose wish for a longer tail is
unfortunately fulfilled; Mayzie,
another bird, the quintessential
frivolous fowl; Sour Kangaroo
portrayed as the modem model
of a rock star; and the
Wickersham Brothers, a pack
of unruly monkeys.
The evening was a visual
extravaganza of sets, lights,
dance, costumes and make-up.
Set design is by Don Newby
and Mike McMillian, lighting
design by Stan Epling.
Choreographer is Jenny Rose.
Costume designers are Kris
Schmidt and Bea Walsh while

Horton the Elephant, played by Josh McGhee, holds a flower
on which Whoville is trapped. Jennifer Westergom, playilig
the Cat in the Hat, doesn't believe in Whoville, and is mak-
ing fun of Horton.


Kendra Brunson and Lindsay
Lynch cover make-up design.
Tracy Schuknecht and Nelly
Ford earn kudos for their
accomplished musical direction
of a large cast. Rhonda


Nelson's debut as producer is a
harbinger of future successes
for HLT, as are the young
members of the ensemble.
Do not miss this musical
delight at HLT.

He has been a professor of
art in schools across the coun-
try, including the Cleveland
Institute and the Art Institute
of Chicago, and.his works are
collected by major institu-
tions and museums, including
Boston's MFA, the
Smithsonian, the Philadelphia

Chicago's Art Institute.
The tour group will depart
the Lake Wales Arts Center at

works.
The group will return to
Lakeland for a cozy lunch at

an afternoon visit to the Polk
Museum of Art to view some
of the major works of this
artist. With time permitting,
the .group may visit down-
town Munn Park to enjoy
some of the galleries, art
Work, and shops in the area
before returning to Lake
Wales by 4 p.m.
The cost is $48 for Lake
Wales Arts Council members
and $53 for .non-members

New Queen, Prince to be crowned to cap Lake Wales Mardi Gras


I Special to the News-Sun
LAKE WALES A Carnival tra-
dition will come to life on Fat
Tuesday, Feb. 5, in downtown Lake
Wales when the citywide Mardi Gras
celebration comes to a climax at the
annual Coronation Ball of the Krewe
of Rex,
The gala affair will be the con-
cluding events in the year-long
reigns of Prince of Wailes James
Schultz, and Queen of Carnival
Alice Waters. The pair will also be
leading the combined krewe parade


through the. street of the historic
downtown area on Saturday, Feb. 2.
More than 25,000 spectators normal-
ly attend tfie parade, with thousands
more participating in the many asso-
ciated events.
The ball, featuring the dance
music ofThe Bayou Boys, willbe a
traditional dress-up masquerade
with a Mardi Gras flavor. Contrary
to other reports, the ball will be held
this year at La Bella Torre
Restaurant on Stuart Avenue in
downtown and will feature a buffet


of Cajun appetizers. A full bar will
also be available.
During the evening, the new
Prince of Wailes, selected by past
honorees, will be announced and
enthroned, to be joined soon after by
a new Queen of Carnival. The queen
is traditionally selected by a random
method, in which the celebrants
share a "king cake" and one lucky
aspirant will find a toy baby in her'
slice. The new Queen will reign over
the 2009 festivities.
Tickets to the Rex Coronation


Ball are available' for $15 per person,
at La Bella Torre Restaurant, 251
East Stuart Ave,.; Westlake Realty,
343 West Central Ave.;, The
Highlander Restaurant, 253 East
*Stuart Ave.; or from any member of
the Mystick Krewe of Rex. Krewe
members are also offering tickets to
"baskets of cheer" which will be
given away during the evening's fes-
tivities.
Mardi Gras in Lake Wales has
been a city-wide festival since the
1980s, and features a dozen or more


parading "krewes," or clubs, who
build floats and costumes reflecting
their chosen themes. It is the biggest
privately-sponsored Mardi Gras, cel-
ebration in Florida, and one of the
top five in the United States. Mardi
Gras is also observed worldwide
under a. variety of names, in places
as diverse as Nassau, Bahamas;
Venice, Italy; and Rio de Janiero,
Brazil.


The Great Backyard Bird Count


Florida Yards
and Neighborhoods'
Angela Sachson
It's not often we get a
chance to learn something
new, have a little fun, and
contribute to science at the
same time. It only takes a few
minutes. It's free. And you
don't even have to leave
home!
We are talking about the
2008 Backyard Bird Count
co-sponsored by the national
Audubon Society and Cornell
University. Every year on
President's Day weekend,
people count the number of
birds who visit their backyard
feeders in a time period of 15
minutes or more. The observ-
er can then enter his or her
information at the Great
Backyard Bird Count website.
The website also provides tips
on how to count, lists of birds
in your zip code, and lots of
other great information.

Why do it?
Why, you may ask, count
birds? And, why should I
count birds? Can't the scien-
tists do it?
Well, first, a scientist or
team of scientists couldn't
possibly collect the amount of
information that many regular
folks in many locations can
gather. Last year's partici-
pants turned in 81,000 check-
lists. They counted over 11
million birds of 613 different
species. All that was accom-
pliThed in just three days!
Scientists can learn a lot by
knowing the location of bird
species. Bird populations con-
stantly move and the bird
count can document the com-
plex distribution and move-
ments of many species in a
very short time. Bird location
and movement may also tell
us about changes that can
affect us such as climate
change.
If you participate, you
make sure the birds from your
community are well repre-
sented in the count. It doesn't
matter whether you report the
five species coming to your
backyard feeder or the 75
species you see during a day's
outing to a wildlife refuge.
Some of the questions we
can help answer include: How
will the timing of birds'


Clipart.com
Getting to see a bald eagle could be one highlight from the
Great Backyard Bird Count.


migrations compare with past
years? How are bird diseases,
such as West Nile virus,
affecting birds in different
regions? What kinds of differ-
ences in bird diversity are
apparent in cities versus sub-
urban, rural, and natural
areas? Are any birds undergo-
ing worrisome declines that
point to the need for conser-
vation attention?

How to get involved
1. Visit www.birdcount.org
for easy-to-follow instruc-
tions, including tips for iden-
tifying birds, and to print a
checklist for your zip code.
2. Count the birds you see,
wherever you choose to
count. Write down the highest
number of individual birds
you see at one time. That way
you won't count any bird
twice.
3. After at least 15 minutes
of watching in one place,
report your results online at
www.birdcount.org. (You can
spend more time observing if
you prefer.)
4. You can repeat your
count at the same place on
each day of the Great
Backyard Bird Count. You
can also visit other locations
and submit separate informa-


tion for those areas too.
If you do not have a bird
feeder you can supply bird
feed in any flat, open contain-
er. Even a pie plate on a
stump can catch the eye of a
snack-hungry bird. Make sure
the feeder is far from squirrel
and cat hideouts and jumping-
off places.
'Read the label on the bird-
seed for feeding instructions
and start feeding a few.days
before your bird watch. Birds
have great eyesight but they
might not flock to your feeder
the minute you fill it!

Or, try this
On Saturday, Feb. 16, come
to the Okeechobee County
Extension Office. We will
have feeders set up in the side
yard, plenty of checklists and
pencils, and bird identifica-
tion information. We can
count together or you can
count on your own.
The feeders will be up from
9 a.m. until 1 p.m. See you
there!
If you need additional
information on the bird count,
please e-mail us at okee-
chobee@ifas.ufl.edu or call us
at (863) 763-6469. In
Highlands County, call 863-
402-6540.,

The Department wilt issue the permit with the attach-
ed conditions unless a timely petition foran adminis-
trative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and
120.57, Florida Statutes, within fourteen days of re-
ceipt of notice. The procedures for petitioning for a
hearing are set forth below.
A person whose substantial interests are affected by
the Department's proposed permitting decision may
petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing)
under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes.
The petition must contain the Information set forth
below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the
Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900
Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahas-
see, Florida 32399-3000.
Under Rule 62-110.106(4), Florida Administrative
Code, a person may request enlargement of the time
for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. The
request must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Of-
fice of General Counsel before the end of the time pe-
riod for filing a petition for an administrative hearing.
Petitions filed by any persons other than those enti-
tled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), Florida
Statutes, must hbefiled within fourteen days of publi-
cation of the notice or within fourteen days of receipt
of the written notice, whichever occurs first. Under
Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, however, any per-
son who has asked the Department for notice of
agency action may file a petition within fourteen days
of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of
publication.
The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the
applicant at the address indicated above at the time of
filing.' The failure of any person to file a petition or re-
quest for enlargement of time within fourteen days of
receipt of notice shall constitute a waiver of that per-
son's right to request an administrative determination
(hearing) under Sections 120,569 and 120.57, Florida
statutes. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceed-
ing initiated by another party) will be only at the dis-
cretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a
motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205., Florida
Administrative Code.
A petition that disputes the material facts on which
the Department's action Is based must contain the fol-
lowing information:
(a) The name, address, and telephone number of each
petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number
of the petitioner's representative, if any; the Depart-
ment permit identification number and the county In
which the subject matter or activity is located;
(b) A statement of how and when each petitioner re-
ceived notice of the Department action;
c) A statement of how each petitioner's substantial
interests are affected by the Department action;
(d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact.
if there are none, the petition must so indicate;
(e) A statement of facts that the petitioner contends
warrant reversal or modification of the Department
action;
(f) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged,
as well as the rules and statutes whici entitle the peti-
tioner to relief; and
g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner,
stating precisely the action that the petitioner wants
the Department to take.
Because the administrative hearing process Is de-
signed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a
petition means that the Department's final action may
be different from the position taken by it in this no-
tice. Persons whose substantial interests will be af-
fected by any such final decision of the Department
have the right to petition to become a party to the
proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set
forth above.
in addition to requesting an administrative hearing,
any petitioner may elect to pursue mediation. The
election may be accomplished by filing with the De-
partment a mediation agreement with all parties to the
proceeding (i.e., the applicant, the Department, and
any person who has filed a timely and sufficient peti-
tion for a hearing). The agreement must contain all
the information required by Rule 28-106.404, Florida
Administrative Code. The agreement must be re-
ceived by the clerk in the Office of General Counsel of
the Departinent at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard,
Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.
within ten days after the deadline for filing a petition,
as set forth above. Choosing mediation will not ad-
versely affect the right to a hearing if mediation does
not result in a settlement.

As provided in Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, the
timely agreement of all parties to mediate will toll the
time limitations imposed by Sections 120.569 and
120.57, Florida Statutes, for holding an administrative
hearing and suing a final order. Unless otherwise
agreed by the parties, the mediation must be conclud-
ed within sixty days of the execution of the agree-
ment. If mediation results in settlement of the admin-
istrative dispute, the Department must enter a final
order incorporating the agreement of the parties.
Persons seeking'to protect their substantial interests
that would be affected by such a modified final deci-
sion must file their petitions within fourteen days of
receipt of thisnotice, or they shall be deemed to have
waived their right to a proceeding under Sections
120.569 and 120:57, Florida Statutes. If mediation
terminates without settlement of the dispute, the De-
partment shall notify all parties in writing that the ad-
ministrative hearing processes under Sections
120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, remain availa-
ble for disposition of the dispute, and the notice will
specify the deadlines that then will apply for challeng-
ing the agency action and electing remedies under
those two statutes

Panthers claw back before falling in 12


By ED B1ALDRIDGE
News-Sun correspondent
AVON PARK Opening
day for the South Florida
Community College Panthers
was a long and cold one,
going to twelve innings as the
temperature dropped into the
low 50s, and ended late with


the St. Petersburg
Community College
Titans finally coming
out on top .7-6.
Avon Park's own

head coach Rick Hitt after the
game.
During the bottom of first,
SFCC did not make much
headway and the first three at-
bat fielded out.
It was the top of the third
before St. Pete was able get a
another base-hit off
1C Sedlock.
The Titans' Stephen
Lombardozzi dinged
one, and he was fol*-

Poulk, whose short

two St. Pete sluggers to reach
base.
But the young southpaw
settled down to a steady string
of strikes for four straight
innings.
"I was excited to start on
opening day, but I didn't feel
like this was my best game,"
said Sedlock.
"It was a nerve wracking
start at first, and I seemed to
have a little trouble with the
strike zone at the end, but
after I settled down, I was
OK."
"Sedlock did a good job as
a starter, he earned the spot,
but we just made a couple of

advanced Lombardozzi to
second.
With two outs on the board,
Sedlock walked Justin Dalles
loading the bases and then
Kenneth Gregory's base-
knock brought in two runners
advancing the lead to 2-0
Titans.
Sedlock walked the next
batter, again loading the
bases, but the next Titan at the
plate grounded out at first.
In the bottom of the third
another home-grown player
from Avon Park, Panther Matt
,Devlin, showed his quick bat
and the Titan's allowed him to
stretch a single to a double,
after a dropped ball.
The Panthers, however,
failed to make anything out of
Devlin's hit.
"I was a little nervous at the
start," said Devlin. "But after
the first inning, I got over
it. It's just baseball."
Top of the fourth, and three
hits later, Hitt pulled Sedlock
from the mound and brought
in right hander Leo Chang.

College. The Panthers bounced back from an early 6-1 hole before falling in the 12th to the Titans, 7-6. Below, Avon Park's

infielder Austin.Gaines got on
base and was later driven in
on a sacrifice fly by Lake
Placid's Steven Levine.
Chang struggled a bit in the
top of the fifth, allowing the
Titans to drive in another RBI
and St. Pete got two more
runs from a dropped fly ball
and a wild pitch pushing the
score to a 6-1 Titan lead, and
a change at the mound for
SFCC.
The Panthers went to soph-
omore Jeff Bloomer, a lefty,
who was able to reign in the
Titans, but it wasn't until the
bottom of the seventh before
SFCC could get on the board
again.
Devlin again started the
rally with a solid infield hit
that was dropped allowing
him to reach base.
Devlin's quick feet,


allowed him to steal second,
and a line drive from Gaines
drove Devlin in for the RBI
putting the Panthers back in
the game.
Brandon Decker dinged a
hit and so did Ryan Thorlton,
putting two more Panthers on
base, and an overthrown ball
allowed two more Panthers to
come home.
A 'Justin Tomlinson line
drive brought in the RBI and
tied the game at 6-6.
Neither team could scratch

out a three run homer. Going
three for four were Bill
Yeager, Joe Hyzny and John
Kloet, who also had a double.
The Rebels and Discount
Aluminum matchup ended
with Rebels on top 28-13.
They demonstrated well in
both defense and hitting.
Discount Aluminum led in the
first inning, then seemingly
shut down.
The Rebels most amazing
plays were made when two
grand slams, were belted out
by Tom (Moose) Morrissette
and Fred Boyd, both going
four-for-four.
Other hitting four-for-four
were John Grosso, Don
Purdy, Don Matthews and
John Strietzel.
Tony Caristo went three-
for-four with a double.
Stan Turl was three-for-
four bringing in the fifth run
on a sacrifice fly.
The team had five innings
scoring five runs each. They
gave up no walks.
The final 'scores of
Thursday's games were not so
'far spread.
The 'Battle of the Bank
Branches' was going full
speed ahead until Highlands
Independent Bank Avon Park
maneuvered to defeat
Highlands Independent Bank
Sebring for its sixth straight
loss of the season.
HIBAP was the victor with
a 13-9 win.
Part of the glory goes to
Pierre Boissonneault having


four-for-four including a
homer and three doubles.
Close behind was Dave
Crotser hitting three-for-four
with a home run and two dou-
bles.
Bob Brooks ended with a
three-for-four game.
HIBS's pitcher, Jerry
Kapilan, delivered the ball
extremely well and allowed
no walks. Emil Hamel batted
four-for-four including a
triple and a double.
Royal Palms and the Rebels
battled to a 10-8 score in the
fourth inning, then Palms
started to pick the Rebels
apart.
The Rebels were happy to
shut the Palms down in the
top of the eighth with a final
score of 25-11.
The Rebels hard-hitting
batters were Jerry Mattis and
Tom (Moose) Morrissette
going four-for-four.
Elwood Black went three-
for-four including a double
and Don Purdy tripled going
two-for-three.
Royal Palms' Joe Healey
and Tom Gaiownik each belt-
ed out a triple.
Bob Weiss was four-for--
four with a double and Bob
Floodine went four-for-five
including a double.
A quartet of doubles was
sent out by Mo Pier, Dorin
Quigg, Doug Hammond and
Jim Longman, who also
slugged five-for-five.
These players were respon-
sible for 14 of the 25 runs
scored.
The Silent Salesman team
put forth a good effort against


the League's second place
team, the Refle'ctions, but
came up short with a final
score of 11-6.
Reflections played good
defense, therefore, the
Salesman failed to get any
freebies. Leaving twelve men
stranded on bases was a major
cause to end with a deficit
score.
Leading the Salesman at
the plate were Victor
Rodriquez going two-for-four
with a triple, Jerry Johnston
three-for-four with a double
and Mike Jurmu two-for-four
with a double.
Reflections' leading hitters
were Et Lindberg going
three-for-four with a double,
Don Lewis connected for a
double, and Bill Yeager batted
four-for-four.
Discount Aluminum did it
again! They finished up the
game with a 12-6 lead over
Klingons.
Jim Maynard was success-
ful in belting out three hits for
the Klingons.
Discount Aluminum's nota-
bles for the game were James
Gilbert batting three-for-four
with a home run, two triples
and two RBI.
Bill Todd managed three-
for-four with three RBI and
Paul Stevenson was credited
with three-for-four.
The day was damp and
cloudy but in the new
Complex, with all concrete
areas, there is no reason for
spectators to walk in the grass
or mud.
The whole league appreci-
ates the facilities.

Bloomer for right hander
Wiggy Vazquez and the Titans

Panthers got a chance at bat.
"A win would have been

Although the Panthers were

the bottom of the twelfth, they
could not bring a player

Both teams were evenly

By Boyd Duckett
Bass tournament season
will shift into high gear later
next month when the
Bassmaster Classic kicks off
the Elite Series season at
Lake Hartwell in South
Carolina.
Hartwell is a great fishery
that most pros have quite a
bit of experience fishing.
These days, it's pretty rare
when for the pros to get a
chance to wet a line in a
body of water that they have
never fished before, though it
still happens to vets and
rookies alike. -
Though we may fish for a
living, we still find ourselves
from time to time in the same
position many of you find
yourselves in on a regular
basis: on the verge of fishing
a lake that they know nothing
about.
Hiring a guide is not an
option come tournament
time, and the same bodes true
for a lot of people whose
budget just doesn't allow for
the added expense.
Left to fend for yourself,
there are a few tried-and-true
tricks that can make your,
first trip to a lake more suc-
cessful and efficient.
First of all, get a good map
of the lake.
There are even lake maps
on CD that you can use on
your computer. Even an old
map from the local marina
can be a good start.
Lake maps can help you
locate some general fishing
areas, as well as advising you
of potentially dangerous rock
bars and stump fields.
Also, scour the Internet:
there's sure to be a message
board for the area you are
going to fish where locals
and out-of-towners alike will
be posting where and what

pened because we are
young. We made a nice come-
back, but just could not
scratch one out a score. The'


test is to see if we can play a
12 inning game, lose by one,
and get up at 8 a.m. and get on
the bus to play again. There in


lies the truth to see if we have
made the transition to college
ball or not. The rest will come
with some experience."


they're biting.
And don't be afraid to ask
other people at the marina
and boat ramp.
If you are like me and bass
is the species you are after,
the first place that I always
look is the classic spots.
Deep, rocky points, humps
and bars will probably have a
resident population of fish.
If you can find some trees
that have fallen into water
that's deeper than five feet,
there's a good chance that the
area is holding fish espe-
cially if the area offers quick
and easy access for the fish
to reach deep water.
Once you've found your
area, set some limits for
yourself.
Even if you think the fish-
ing might be better 30 miles
away, limit yourself to the
reasonably sized area that
offers the characteristics you
are looking for.
It is much easier to man-
age your fishing in a pond-
sized area than if you are try-
ing to cover 50,000 acres of
lake.
If your chosen spot has
some weedbeds that grow
below the .surface, start with
a spinnerbait or buzzbait on
some medium-heavy tackle'.


By doing this, you are try-
ing to entice those fish that
hang out on the edges of the
vegetation to feed.
If the weedbeds are deeper,
try a shallow-running
crankbait.
These baits, in addition to
enticing strikes, allow you to
cover a lot of area quickly to
determine the presence and
behavior of the fish.
If you find an area with
more trees and stumps than
vegetation and the bass aren't
responding to the quickly
retrieved buzz, spinner and
crankbaits, slow down your
presentation with a Berkley
PowerBait Classic Jig and a
PowerBait Chigger Craw
trailer or a Texas-rigged
Berkley PowerBait Power
Worm.
-And don't give up on a
bait too quickly, otherwise
you will set yourself into a
pattern of switching rigs
every other cast.
Just like running to differ-
ent spots on the lake every.
15 minutes, constantly
switching baits makes for a
frustrating day on the water.
Being able to size up a
body of water in a short
amount of time under varied
conditions is what makes or

SCHOOL.
Continued from 1D
After a 5-4 mark, they won
their final five games to earn
the wild card. That streak
included four wins over divi-
sional leaders.
That is exciting! Watching
teams rest their starters in
Week 16 is boring.
One bit of justice-for the
Giants is that they played
their final regular season
game like it meant some-
thing.
That effort against New
England seemed to ignite
something. So thank good-
ness Coughlin did not take
the Gruden route and rest the
starters.
Congratulations to the
Giants, but don't expect me
to sing the praises of wild
cards, expanded playoffs and
seasons that are just too long.

New School
Wow, aren't we the grumpy
old sports curmudgeon.
Whine, whine, whine. No
more playoffs, too long. Wild
Card shmild card, give me
the days when the real season
meant something. Oh brother.
First, the regular season
does mean something.
Why don't you tell the
Falcons or Dolphins the reg-
ular season doesn't mean
anything, bet they'd disagree.
There are four more play-
off spots now, whoopdeedoo.
Let's not forget that since
1970 when you were a 12-
year-old lad with a heart
there have been six teams
added in the cities of
Indianapolis, Jacksonville,
Nashville, Seattle, Tampa
Bay and Charlotte.
So the league is bigger, it
should make the playoff field
bigger.
Second, what is so bad
about giving more teams a
shot at being the big cheese?
I mean the regular season
is fine, but the playoffs are
what is great!


Daniel Bedell
Win or go home. Do or
die. Must win. For all the
marbles. No tomorroW.
Those are all cliches that
wouldn't exist if it wasn't for
playoffs.
Those cliches are what
make out-of-shape-never-
beens sound borderline intel-
ligent to women and children
all around the U.S. That is all
they have, and you want to
take that from them?
Come on, embrace the big
show, the magic that is the
playoffs.
No one gets a huge trophy,
an over-the-hill band half-
time band and a wardrobe
malfunction in a regular sea-
son game.
These are things reserved
for the playoffs.
And where has your love
of the underdog gone? Where
is that boyish excitement
over a 10-win David having
a chance to vanquish a 16-
win Goliath?
Dreams, that is what those
extra wild card spots are
about.
You just want to stomp on
all the Cinderella's out there
and tell them the ball is over.
Time to go and back to
cleaning the outhouse.
Well I am just glad that the
NFL disagrees.
In fact I thank the NFL for
raking in loads of money on
those extra games and giving
you and I a reason to tell the
women in our house that we
can't watch Extreme .
Makeover Home Edition.
And when they ask why,
all you have to say is one
magic word, a word that is
universally sacred.

Shutt had the perseverence to write this


Open and Shutt
Kevin 1. Shutt


I've been struggling to
write this particular column
since New Year's Day a
day on which I had a signifi-
cant breakthrough in my
training.
Translating that experience
into motivational words was
a challenge I hadn't expect-
ed.
On one hand, I want to
convey what happened that
Tuesday afternoon during a
bike ride with a buddy.
On the other, however, my
fear of sounding braggado-
cios and the knowledge oth-
ers have accomplished more
stifled my creative flow.
Finally, some three weeks
after the fact, I'm employing
the "breakthrough" tactic of
.my ride to pen this column
- perseverance.
As simple as that may
sound, that's what happened
Jan. 1 I came to a fork in
the road. Literally, it was a T-
intersection and figuratively,
I had a decision to make.
It was a long day in the
saddle and I was 12 miles
shy of my mileage goal but
only a mile from the house.


The ride began about 8
a.m. in Auburndale. It was
now around 3:30 p.m.
If I turned right, I could
have been home in five min-
utes.
By turning left, I could
stretch my ride out to make
up the shortfall.
Few people would have
faulted me for turning right
- many would have thought
the mileage astronomical as it
were.
To be honest, I've done it
too many times before -
calling it a day when I'm so
close but, well, no cigar.
I went left. After 45 min-
utes I was home. According
to my bike computer, I went
a half mile extra.


My training day complet-
ed, I reached my goal and
felt great about myself.
That was my breakthrough
- setting a goal and, barring
serious injury or insurmount-
able weather, persevering to
meet or exceed it.
I've been told more than
once by athletes from whom
I draw inspiration that
endurance sport is a mental
game as much as a physical
test.
The mind must be trained
to endure boredom, accept
pain as weakness leaving the
body and push beyond cop-
outs that justify quitting.
It's that same sticktoitness
that's getting me through this
column except the 'boredom'


is substituted by concerns of
relevancy; writing quality
replaces 'weakness' but the
cop-outs are similar, "Who'd
miss this particular column if
I never write it?"
Though it was part of what
inspired these words, I don't
-mention my Jan. 1 mileage
because it's immaterial my
goal showing my two or
three loyal readers that we're
in this together despite differ-
ent disciplines and training
goals.
Sara Reinertsen, last year's
Heartland Triathlon guest
speaker, said it best when
asked how she motivates her-
self.

run that she really doesn't

marathon or a walk around
the block, the same personal
issues arise among us.
Our concerns should not be
how we compare with some-
body else. Rather, we should
analyze whether we're push-
ing past our comfort zones -
Did we walk longer than we
wanted? Run harder than we
thought we could?
I've known this all along,


most of us do.
But, I finally began think-
ing about it New Year's day.
It's an ongoing mental chal-
lenge to persevere through
the, physical challenges.
On your next training
swim, bike, run, et. al., give
yourself a quick once-over to
determine if you have legiti-
mate reasons to call it a day
when that voice begins to
complain.
If it's just that fat little guy
sitting on your shoulder eat-
ing a McRib and making
excuses for you, think twice
about listening.
Persevere 10 minutes
more, then go home. Enjoy
your breakthrough.

More than 60 children are currently awaiting a Big Brother or Big Sister to spend some time with
them. If you could spend a couple of afternoons a month with one of them it could make all the dif-
rference in their life. You're going to be doing something on Saturday afternoon anyway. They would
love'to do it with you. Or perhaps you could spare one hour a week to visit' with a student at school
who needs a friend to read to them or help them catch up in math. It could be you. Call Jackie at Big
Brothers Big Sisters 863-402-9001.
