Meeting on tap to set

appeal hearing rules for


fired county IM'ers


News-Sun staff reports
SEBRING The three
county employees fired a
week ago for inappropriate
and excessive use of a coun-
ty instant messaging system
will meet with administra-
tion Monday.
Asstistant County Ad-
ministrator Rick Helms said
Friday that Christine
Edwards, Treasa Handley
and Jared Lee will meet
with Administrator Carl
Cool, Human Resources
Director John Minor and
their former immediate
supervisor, Bernis Gainer,


who made the official deci-
sion to terminate the three.
Lee, Handley and
Edwards questioned that
Gainer would have dis-
missed them of his own
accord based on the evi-
dence of their infractions.
They believe he's the scape-
goat.
Ground rules for the hear-
ing or hearings will be
established at Monday's
meeting, Helms said,
explaining they may have
their grievance hearings as a
group (as they requested) or
separately.

Two legislative
delegates committed
to delivering promise

SEBRING Highlands
County Budget Technician
Rick Hurley on Wednesday
hand delivered the commis-
sioners' resolution. request-
ing the state provide the
"hold harmless" dollars it
promised should Amend-
ment 1 pass.
County Administrator
Carl Cool learned Thursday
that Gov. Charlie Crist's
proposed 2008-2009 budget
lacks the $26 million that
"fiscally constrained" coun-
ties expect to lose due to the
property tax amendment to
the constitution.
Highlands' share of that
reduced ad valorem income
has, been estimated from $4
to $5 million.
"If somebody doesn't


make up the difference now,
we will be short of funds
beginning Oct. 1," Cool
said.
The state legislature last
year approved the "hold
harmless" law to protect
Florida's poorer counties.
But, it set an annual applica-
tion deadline of Feb. 1.
That means, to avoid a
revenue reduction in their
next budget, the board had
three days to forward their
request to the state after
Tuesday's election, mostly
because the amendment was
retroactive to Jan. 1.
Though Hurley got the
request to Tallahassee in
time, Highlands and other
fiscally-constrained coun-
ties will have to take their
fight to the legislature's
March-April session,
explained Cool.
"It would be my opinion
that they're not abiding by
the state law," he said of the

LAKE Placid Police
Chief Phil Williams drove
217 miles Thursday to attend
a High Springs meet-and-
greet only to announce his
withdrawal.
Williams joined eight can-
didates vying for the com-
munity's top cop spot in
meeting about 150 members
of the community.


It was while his counter-
parts bragged on themselves
that he realized he had a
decision to make.
"When I got up in front of
the people, that's when I
made my decision," Williams
said Friday. "I was standing
there in front of everybody
and I thought to myself how
this kind of reminded me
when the community of Lake
Placid stood and supported


Williams was referring to a
town council discussion that
broached the subject of dis-
banding the local department
last year in favor of service
from 'the Hiill.iiid' County

One in jail in case of stolen mail
I


By TREY CHRISTY
trev.christv@ newssun .comn
SEBRING A woman
charged with more than four
unique felony fraud counts is
just the tip of the iceberg in a
case involving more than one
neighbor.
The 6000 block of Sparta
Road is. home to several wit-
nesses and suspects, known to
each other by either friend or
relative, Sheriff's Office
Detective Christopher Myers
wrote in his report.
Pamela Adkins, 49,
Sebring, is the first arrest in
what will lead to more, said
HCSO Lt. Tim Lethbridge.
"At this time we anticipate
bringing charges on an addi-
tional person but there may be
more as the investigation con-
tinues," he said.
A Home Depot Expo card,
Dillards American Express
card, and Macy's Visa card
were all allegedly used by
Adkins during May and July
of 2007.
Five charges on the Home
- Depot card totaled $3,637, 31
-Dillards charges totaled
$2,096 including one at a
local gas station for $300, and
53 charges on the Macy's card
totaled $5,465.
The cards were not only
used in Highlands, but also in
Polk, Lake and Orange coun-
ties.
On July 14 the victims
reported the unauthorized


activity on the
cards, and on
July 21 a .
n e i g h b or
reported sev-
eral individu-
als stealing
mail in the Adkins
same area of
Sparta Road.
The investigation contin-
ued until September with sur-
veillance tapes at a number of
stores showing Adkins use the
cards and forging signatures,
Myers said.
A warrant for Adkins arrest
was sent to the State Attorney
on Oct. 31.
"It is a complicated white
collar case and they do take
longer for the State Attorney's


Office to review all the evi-
dence," Lethbridge explained
about the three-month wait
for the arrest warrant.
According to him, the case
is far from closed.
"In this case there is anoth-
er suspect," he said. "But that
portion of the case is still
under investigation with eyes
toward bringing charges on
them and any other people we
identify during the course of
the investigation."
Adkins faces a total of 24
felony counts, including vari-
ous charges of fraud, and four
misdemeanors, from petty
theft to illegal use of credit
cards.
She remained in the county
jail on $26,000 bond.


SEBRING St. Catherine
Catholic Church will discuss
the ABCs and 123s of starting
a school today.
For years, northern traps-
plants to Highlands County
have been surprised the com-
munity lacks a Catholic ele-
mentary or high school.


A representative of the
Venice Diocese will be at
Parish Hall, 882 Bat St.,
Sebring, to meet 'with parish-
ioners and is expected to talk
at the end of each Mass.

SEBRING Armando Cazo
'ell in love with Sebring when
he was in college. Now that
he's a general contractor,
architect, and president of the
Miami-based Cazo Group, he
is trying to make a difference
here.
Cazo has worked for 25
years in Miami-Dade and
Broward counties, with a
focus on workforce housing.
He was invited to Highlands
County two years ago to par-
ticipate in a presentation to
the board of county commis-
sioners about workforce hous-
ing, and learned then that
there was a need for low-cost
housing in the area.
"I thought there was an
opportunity," he said. "The
housing agency ordered a
study done in the county, and
we found out it had a need for
workforce housing. So I
thought it would be a good
idea to come to Sebring."
And he has, with current
plans for two separate proj-
ects adjacent to each other on
North Ridgewood Drive and
Lemon Avenue. One will be
converted from an existing
two-story structure into a bed
and breakfast, with the exist-
ing restaurant staying in
place. The other will be a
mixed-use project featuring
townhouses for low-cost
workforce housing.
The residential portion will
consist of two-bedroom, two-
bathroom units that will
measure 1,050 square feet
each, Cazo said. The project
sits on 31,500 square feet, and
plans are to build 16 residen-
tial units in total. The designs
also call for commercial
office space with loading
doors, which could house a
plumber, electrician, or a sim-
ilar business. (Cazo already
owns 12 acres near Little
Lake Jackson, which he is in
the process of changing from
a trailer park to residential


zoning.)
Speaking from an out-
sider's point of view, Cazo
notices that new development
is happening on U.S. 27, but
not downtown. His goal is to
begin changing that.
"I see very few things
(being built) in downtown,"
Cazo said. "It's so quaint, and
so beautiful, but for some rea-
son people prefer to live on
the outskirts rather than move
into the central part."
Cazo's plans to build on
North Ridgewood Drive is an
attempt to draw new residents
into the downtown area, an
issue that the city's
Community Redevelopment
Agency has been dealing with
for some time.
"I want to do something,"
Cazo said. "Downtown has a
lot of potential, and I don't
think it's been used to its
fullest. Basically the most
important thing is to have res-.
idential development. They
can go to a restaurant 'or a

pharmacy, and like a mush-
room it grows."
The Cazo Group has not
closed on the Ridgewood
property yet, but it is working
to finalize the financing. Cazo
said he had to get a mortgage
from a Miami bank because
no local bank would take an
interest.
At Monday's meeting, the
CRA board approved the
design review of the North
Ridgewood project. On
Tuesday, CRA Executive
Director Pete Pollard said
Cazo's project would be bene-
ficial for the downtown area,
and the city as a whole.
"It will have a very positive
impact," Pollard said. "Any
new construction, commercial
or residential, in the down-
town area, is a positive. The
designs he's submitted are
attractive, and will kind of set
the tone for what we hope will
come next. If they are suc-
cessful, it will attract other
developers too."

Self-righteous whining

There are times all one can do is stand in stupefied
amazement, wondering what in heaven's name.
someone else was thinking, as that someone else
blithely commits acts of colossal, self-destructive
stupidity.
Treasa Handley, Jared Lee, and Christine Edwards
have us scratching our heads and blinking in sur-
prise. They are the three individuals who were fired
by the county Monday.
They exhibit such a lack of discretion and insight
it is almost possible to feel sorry them.
But not quite.
What disturbs us most about the situation is not
even the original offense using work time and
county equipment to exchange sexually suggestive
banter and insulting comments of their superiors -
but the thoughtlessness and arrogance they displayed
as they used a public forum for a private conversa-
tion, while knowing what they were doing was
against the rules, and that the chance for getting
caught, especially by accident, was high yet they
went ahead anyway, and at a pace that could only
detract from their work.
Handley, in particular, takes pride in her work his-
tory, but how much more might she have accom-
plished if her thinking had been focused on her
responsibilities, and not on what made her feel good.
What were they thinking?
As if that weren't enough, there is the self-right-
eous whining that has come ever since, especially
from Handley, who as a 23-year veteran should have
known better and set an example in the first place.
In some ways she is mesmerizing, like a train
wreck or Brittany Spears.
For example, on Wednesday she sent out a mass e-
mail entitled "My Thoughts on the Article."
It begins: "It's in the paper the conversation that
was had between David Flowers & I, but still no ref-
erences as to what the 3 (sic) of us talked about I
wish they'd put that we talked about Commissioner
(Barbara) Stewart being rude by walking into an
office, utilizing a pen and paper on the desk of an
- employee and walking out without speaking to the
employee."
In other exchanges the three refer to Guy Maxcy
as "Chester the Molester," but the bulk of the mes-
sages involve sexual puns and suggestive actions.
Again, the problem is not so much the content, it's
the fact that Handley appears to have no understand-
ing of just how inappropriate that content is.
For example, she writes with some indignation
that so few exchanges were revealed in the news
coverage. She seems to believe when people read
what she wrote she will be vindicated.
We support the firings of these individuals. Their
lack of judgment, which continued over time, is
enough to disqualify them from making decisions on
the public's behalf.
There is one matter in which we are in agreement
with the three, however. We feel giving David
Flowers a reprimand for his part in the exchanges is
unfair to the others.
Granted he didn't participate as much, but as the
county's Facilities Management director, Flowers
has a higher standard to maintain. As a former coun-
ty commissioner, he certainly should have known
better. We recommend the county reconsider his
punishment, especially as to not treat him equally
might well end in a lawsuit.


A month of fun for lucky few


It's a funny thing ... this
month I can't think of a thing to
write about.
Of course we know February
means Groundhog Day (how
much longer will the snow-
storms be around)? The Super
Bowl is today guys, get your
snacks ready and the recliners
positioned. Tuesday on the cal-
endar shows Mardi Gras for the
partying crowd. Ash
Wednesday and Lent begins for
the faithful. On Thursday, the
Chinese New Year begins (I
love Chinese food and love
reading about China). President
Abraham Lincoln's birthday ig
observed Feb. 12. Then of
course, the most noted holiday
in February is Valentine's Day
(Cupid is aiming his bow at
some hearts). President's Day is
Feb. 18 and Washington's birth-
day is observed Feb. 22.
(Forgive me if my calendar
missed a holiday)?
So you thought there wasn't
much to celebrate in February
other than Valentine's Day?
Now you can pick which ones
you wish to observe'.
I like Valentine's Day, really
I do. My Mom said the other
day, oh yeah that holiday you


A Heart's Journey
Janelle Dennison
"don't like" is coming ...
Valentine's Day. It's hard on us
singles because we see all our
"coupled" single friends and
married friends making plans
for their significant other ...
going somewhere special, buy-
ing gifts, chocolates, flowers,
etc. And we sometimes feel left
out.
I'm not seeking pity here,
just stating an observation.
Why don't we singles get
together and do something fun?
We can find ways to enjoy
Valentine's Day without having
a date or a significant other. We
can also be someone's
Valentine by reaching out to
someone needing a friend,
instead of being bummed out
* for lack of a date or mate.
Let's not forget God's love,
which surpasses all human love
and is unconditional, though we
have been taught otherwise tra-
ditionally. Here's hoping you
take time for the love that sur-
rounds you from family, friends
and your significant other on
this day and throughout the 10-
plus mouths left in this year.

America's economic
race to the bottom
Editor:
America's pantry is being
raided by many foreign
nations. First American indus-
try was raided and millions of
American jobs were out-
sourced to foreign nations,
using the American tax dollar
to relocate these industries
Then the jobs that were left
onshore were filled with guest
workers and foreign illegals
from all over the world, then
we had many unfair trade
deals, all this with the bless-
ing of our chamber of com-
merce, churches, unions, resi-
dents and Congress of both
parties.
This has been happening
for the past 50 years.
This was not enough of a
handicap for the American
worker. We now have to com-
pete with the test of the world
for our own resources, energy,
timber and now that most
farms are controlled by cor-
porations, that are being sub-
sidized by the taxpayer, our
very basics, the food supply.
Now that our dollar is los-
ing value, ,old Mother
Hubbard's cupboard or pantry
will soon be empty. With the
world chasing our food sup-
ply, it will not only be sticker
shock at the gas pump but
also at the local supermarket.
With all the groups I have
listed above and the apathy of
"all" news media and its lack
of reporting of the news, how
can we escape a complete col-
lapse of America's economy?
None of those running for
public office in the 2008 elec-
tions have a clue as to the
severe problems America
faces.
Those Americans most
affected will, of course, be the
unemployed, the ranks of
which are rapidly increasing.
The next group affected will
be those on fixed incomes.
This doesn't bode well for
Florida or states that have a
large population of retirees.
Not only is our housing
industry in trouble, putting
people in a position of no roof
over their heads; they will
have a much greater problem
with filling their pantries,
"i.e." feeding the kids.
Brother, can you spare a
dime?

Mormon Church takes
on political neutrality
Editor:
Because of the interest of
many people concerning the
ongoing political race for the
Presidency of the United
States (Mitt Romney, a
Mormon and candidate), I
feel the public would be inter-
ested in reading what The
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-clay Saints has to say
about political neutrality. I
have attached the. recent news
release from the Church.
Political Neutrality The
Church's mission is to preach
the gospel of Jesus Christ, not
to elect politicians., The
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints is neutral in


matters of party politics. This
applies in all of the many
nations in which it is estab-
lished.
The Church does not
Endorse, promote or
oppose political parties, can-
didates or platforms.
Allow its church build-
ings, membership lists or
other resources to be used for
partisan political purposes.
Attempt to direct its
members as to which candi-
date or party they should give
their votes to. This policy
applies whether or not a can-
didate for office is a member
of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints.
Attempt to direct or dic-
tate to a government leader.
The Church does:
Encourage its members
to play a role as responsible
citizens in their communities,
including becoming informed
about issues and voting in
elections.
Expect its members to
engage in the political process
in an informed and civil man-
ner, respecting the fact that
members of The Church come
from a variety of backgrounds
and experiences and may
have differences of opinion in
partisan political matters.
Request candidates for
office not to imply that their
candidacy or platforms are
endorsed by the Church.
Reserve the right as an
institution to address, in a
nonpartisan way, issues that it
believes have significant
community or moral conse-
quences or that directly affect
the interests of the Church.
In the United States, where
nearly half of the world's
Latter-day Saints live, it is
customary for the Church at
each national election to issue
a letter to be read to all con-
gregations encouraging its
members to vote, but empha-
sizing the Church's neutrality
in partisan political matters.
Relationships with
Government Elected offi-
cials who are Latter-day
Saints make their own deci-
sions and may not necessarily
be in agreement with one
another or even with a pub-
licly stated Church position.
While the church may com-
municate its views to them, as
it may to, any other elected
official, it recognizes that
these officials still must make
their own choices based on
their best judgment and with
consideration of the con-
stituencies whom they were
elected to represent.
Modern Scriptural refer-
ences to the role of govern-
ment: Doctrine and
Covenants. Section 134.

Nick and a stolen bike
Editor:
It is a red Gary Fisher bike
owned by Nick. Nick is a 16-
year-old, 6-foot, 3 1/2 inches
tall, young man and a student
at Walker Academy.
Nick grew up on a ranch
and orange grove just out of
Avon Park. He learned to
work hard with his dad at an
early age, working cows as
soon as he could ride a horse,
driving the tractor, mowing
and baling hay, helping with
the citrus plantings, etc.
Nicholas loves animals; he
raised chickens, ducks and
turkeys from hatchlings, has
rabbits, goldfish, doves, ham-
,sters and, of course, a couple
of dogs. Nicholas has a part-
time job after school and
helps pay his tuition as well
as saves money for things like
a special bike.
His dad calls him the gentle
giant. At school he takes time
with kids who are younger,
helping them to learn skills in
sports as well as in the class-
room. He runs cross-country,
plays basketball, etc. Nick is a
member of the bell choir and
plays the trumpet in band. He
learned to play the guitar and
helps in the youth depart-
ments at church.
(Last week) Nick was visit-
ing with family after bicy-
cling with friends at The
Preserves. His bike was in the
truck parked in front of the
house at the corner of
Pleasant and Verona streets.
When Nick came out to go
home, he discovered that his
bicycle had been stolen.
Anyone can imagine the
devastation a person feels
when something is stolen. I
believe it is worse when a
child experiences the loss;
especially when he has saved
his money for a long time to
buy a Gary Fisher bike.
I want to tell tie person
who stole this bike that Nick
is very sad for his loss. I want
to say to you that Nick loves
Jesus and that he is praying
for you. Nick knows the dif-
ference between right and
wrong and he has chosen to
be honest and kind in all his
actions.
II also pray for you and your
friends; that you allow the
Holy Spirit to guide you to
make a decision to do what is
right, not just now but for the
rest of your life.
I am Nick's grandma.

Crazy politics

I have been relatively quiet
during this period of time when
we've actually been able to cast
votes for candidates instead of
simply listen to them ad nause-
um. Last night, when the
Florida results were pouring in,
I actually flipped the channel to
a movie for a while.
It's not that I don't care
about this stuff anymore. Nor is
it that I don't have opinions
about what's going on. I have
lots of opinions.
It's just that as I watch
what's going on out there my
mood shifts from horrid fasci-
nation to angry frustration.
Last year, feeling that the
Republican Party was bent on
shifting from the conservative
path we'd shared for so long, I
reregistered NPA (no party
affiliation). I realized that
locked me out of the primary
when it came to voting for a
candidate. In a way, I was glad
this week I couldn't vote in the
primary, because I struggled on
who I could vote for.
Watching the Republican
candidates this year has all the
pull of watching an automobile
accident occur in front of you.
You know there's going to be
damage, you know people are
going to get hurt, but you can't
stop looking.
The Democratic candidates
are different. That race is like
watching a street fight while
looking out a window. Now
that it's come down to Senator
Obama and Senator Clinton, I
expect it to get even nastier.
(And I have to break in here
and point out that the fact
Senator Obama proved he can
cross racial lines and be a
viable candidate should tell us
we've made major progress
towards a color-blind society.
The next step? A non-white
person running for president -
and his/her race isn't news.)
But back to the Republicans.
I feel somewhat out of step
with those in that party, even
more so than when I switched
my voter registration. There are
several reasons for this.
One is the constant referring
to Mayor Rudy Giuliani as a
"conservative." This is like fin-
gers on a chalkboard to me,
especially when someone like
Governor Mike Huckabee are
dismissed as "liberal." I have
shouted at my radio, and even
sent an email to Sean Hannity
complaining about it. Giuliani
has his strengths, no doubt. But
a man of his beliefs and life is
in no way, shape or form a con-
servative.
OK, so if I don't like
Giuliani (who is now out of the
running) who do I like?
That's the problem. I can't
find someone running that I can
fully support: ,
Huckabee? I worry about his
immigration views. Romney? I
ask myself if his change of
views in certain areas is heart-
felt or politically motivated.
Ron Paul?'Do you have to ask?
And then there's John
McCain. There's a lot to like
about McCain. He is devoted to
this country's national security.
I believe he is an honorable
man.
But he's not a conservative.
A look at his campaign finance
bill and the immigration bill he
tried to push'(and he can deny it
all he wants, it was an amnesty
bill) confirms that.
James voted for the first time
yesterday. He told me he chose
McCain. Obviously he was not
alone.
I believe that no matter what,
we will survive as a nation. We
have had presidents come and
go, and we continue.
But as I watch the
Republican Party fight itself as
it dithers between honoring its
conservative roots and turning

Trio try tracking


down drug dollars


Ex-girlfriend of

their associate

caught in crossfire

By TREY CHRISTY
trey.cihristv@newssiun.coim
SEBRING Drug money
was a motive for a man to
break into a home in early
November and threaten a
woman with her life, accord-
ing to officials from the
Highlands County Sheriff's
Office.
Chad Martin, 27, Sebring,
allegedly entered the home on
Sparkling Drive in Sebring
and asked a woman where
"the money" was, said HCSO
Detective Anthony McGann.
When asked about the con-
frontation, the woman told
officials Martin referenced
$15,000 and said it involved
some type of deal with her ex-
boyfriend, McGann said.
"The reference was to
drugs," HCSO Lt. Tim
Lethbridge said.
Three men entered the resi-
dence Nov. 8 and were heard
by the woman, who tried to
get away.
She saw two of them in the
house and locked the door to
her bedroom, trying to leave
from another exit.
A third man grabbed her, by
the hair as she attempted her
escape, yelling "I got her," as
the man drug her back inside.
When she didn't have the
referenced money. Martin got
angry, McGann said.
He walked behind her,
allegedly pulled a knife and
put it to her throat, threaten-
ing the lives of her and her
family.
She began to struggle but
was told to stop. Then her
captors threw her to the floor
as Martin continued-to threat-
en her, saying he would "see
her ldter," McGantini said.

Martin is


the only arrest made to this
point stemming from the inci-
dent.
"It's still being investigat-
ed," said HCSO Capt. Randy
LaBelle, indicating more
arrests would soon follow.
"We do have some leads."
Martin was charged with
aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon, kidnapping,
and armed burglary.
He was transported to the
Highlands County Jail where
he remained on $150,000
bond.

hours. Along on the trips went
numerous lap throws, which
were made and donated by the
ladies of Buttonwood Bay
Sewing Club for the hospital-
ized veterans. The last van

AP men arrested in Lakeland


for Sebring, Lakeland thefts


By TREY CHRISTY
trey.c(hristy @ nlt'WSSuill .corn
LAKELAND Two Avon
Park men were arrested after
they attempted to sell stolen
goods to a parts supplier in
Lakeland.
The items were resonators
and catalytic converters taken
from dealerships in Sebring
and Winter Haven.
Michael Hernaiz, 21, and
Angel Rivera, 19, both of
Avon Park, allegedly
approached the owner of
Automotive Core Supply to
sell the stolen items.
According to an article in
the Lakeland Ledger, the
owner became suspicious and
contacted the Lakeland Police
Department when the men
peddled nine new and two
used catalytic converters to
him Jan. 22.
. LPD officers watched the
store, and when the suspects
returned at 1 p.m. Monday
they were arrested.
Pro Auto Repair in Sebring
reported a theft of catalytic
converters Jan. 21, from two
different cars parked outside


the business. lo


Pathfinder and
Kia Sportage,.
both sport
utility vehi-
cles, were Hernaiz
taken.
"I checked the parking lot
and all other vehicles were
low to the ground," Sebring
Police Department Officer
Ray Rossy said. "The two
vehicles missing catalytic
converters were high enough
off the ground for a person to
fit without having to lift the
vehicle."
The catalytic converter,
located on the exhaust and
designed to reduce emissions,
appeared to have been cut off,
Rossy said.
The two used converters
have an estimated value of
$200 each.
Newer converters were
stolen from a lot of the local
Nissan dealership.
A 2005 Jeep Liberty, 2002
Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2007


N i s s a n
Armada were
missing parts,
v a l.u e d
between $600
and $750,
General
Rivera Manager Jose
Taub of Alan
Jay Nissan told SPD Officer
Rick Little.
Both cases were reported
on Monday, following the
weekend of Jan. 17 and 21,
Little said :in a report.
Before the owner of
Automotive Core Supply
noticed the odd activities of
Hernaiz and Rivera, there
were no leads in either case.
The men were charged in
Polk County for dealing in
stolen property, but could face
additional changes from
Highlands County misde-
meanor criminal mischief,
and the two felony charges of
burglary of a structure and
theft less than $5,000 when
linked to the Sebring crimes.
The two were in the Polk
County Jail on $5,000 bond
each.


Community college to host star parties


AVON PARK South Florida Community
College will hold two star parties Thursday
and again Thursday, Feb. 14, near Ridge Arc
on Baltimore Street, off of College Drive one
mile east of SFCC, or just off Memorial Drive.
Telescopes will be provided. The public is
welcome to attend.
Deep sky objects, stars and galaxies outside
of the solar system, will be viewed Thursday,


FUNDS
Continued from lA

current absence of the bailout
funds. "$26 million sounds
like a lot to us, but they're
dealing in billions."
.A-.ked if a lawsuit from
tgChTani countyy or jointly
hroug the Simall"County
Coalition would follow
should the Legislature balk,
Cool didn't think so.
"Those are the guys who
make the laws," he said. "You
can win a lawsuit but lose the
war. They decide what the
counties get and what they
don't."
Those lawmakers, two of
them anyway, said they'll
fight on the fiscally-con-
strained counties' behalf.
"I am following this issue
closely," Rep. Denise
Grimsley said during an e-
mail interview Thursday
night. "Promises were made -
and promises should be kept."
Rep. Baxter Troutman
echoed the commitment.
Together they supported the
fiscally-constrained language
in the House and Sen. J.D.
Alexander supported it in the
Senate, she said.
Alexander couldn't be
reached for comment.
Baxter said it's early in the
state's budget discussion. So
early that he was surprised
Crist released his recom-
mended budget Thursday.
That it lacks the promised
funding to counter Amend-
ment l's effects isn't unusual
at this stage, he said.
However, it's through the
governor's office that fiscal-
ly-constrained counties must
apply for relief, ironically,
from property tax relief.
"I wouldn't take anything
for granted at this point in the
game," Troutman said, when,


and lunar observations, the moon and its
craters, will be viewed Feb. 14.
Star parties are from 7-9 p.m. but will be
canceled if it is cloudy or raining. Attendees
are welcome to bring blankets or lawn chairs
and should dress warmly.

Christensen, SFCC physics chair and profes-
sor, at 784-7363.


asked if the $26 million
would be "easy" to find. "You
talk about $2 billion there and
$26 million there. ... Sales
taxes are way off right now."
He alluded to the econo-
my's impact on the private
and public sectors. Baxter
was surprised the amendment
passed, but .said he-.was glad
because it would "''iake local
governments tighten their
belts."
During a meeting with local
Realtors before the election,
Cool said Florida House
Speaker Mario Rubio essen-
tially bragged about cutting
taxes, failing to point out it
was county and city taxes
they were cutting while not
touching their own.
"I don't necessarily agree
that legislators are bragging
about having done that,"


Baxter said by phone
Thursday. "We were respond-
ing to people across the state.
Last I checked, we're still a
representative form of gov-
ernment."
As for the state of the
state's economy, he said this
will pass. How long is any-
body's guess.
"I wouldn't want, to scare
anyone," he said, reminding
people he doesn't have a crys-
tal ball while guestimating a
turnaround in about two
years. "We're in hunker-down
mode to plow our way
through this slow economy to
be in a position to fight at
another time."

budget can be reviewed at

A $10,000 raise to his cur-
rently salary of about $56,000
and closer proximity to his
mother, sister.and other rela-
tives were the reasons he
applied for chief of High
Springs Police Department.
But, loyalty to a communi-
ty, he said was loyal to him
trumped his reasons for leav-
ing. And, after the move and
difference in cost of living,
his raise would have been
negligible.

The Highlands County

"I've also put together a
trivia quiz and we'll be giv-

of that as well. The whole
thing is going to be a lot of
fun," he said.

"This is my way of staying
in tune with the larger grand

said, explaining he evaluates
how other departments oper-

which he said is nicer than the
12-person department at High

High Springs ,has 5,000-
6,000 residents. It's about 35

Williams said it's a waiting

affect his department.
"We can get small," he
said. "And, I think depart-

Highlands Art League presents awards in first juried art competition


By PATRICIA C. POND
iAews-Sun ciorr'spodiulel
SEBRING
H highlands Art League
presented awards for its
first Members Juried
Show at a reception during
Thursday evening's Gallery
walk. The exhibit, sponsored
bv Dr. Nick and Renee
Ausaf, will be on display
through Feb. 22 at the Yellow
House Gallery in Sebring.
Winners of the four top
awards received ribbons and
cash prizes plus recognition
that will reach beyond the
local level.
"It is very prestigious to
win an award in a juried
show," explained Alice
Stroppel, director of HAL.
"This opens the door to
future national competition
so we can attract different
artists from around the coun-
try. We are taking HAL to a
new level."
The works of art were
selected and judged by com-
petition juror Nancy LeHew.
LeHew received her master's
degree in art from New York
University and studied studio
art in Venice, Paris and New
York. A recognized artist in
her own right, she taught art
for 28 years in high schools
in her home state of Virginia.
All artists who wish to
compete in a juried show
must first submit copies of
their work on compact disc to
the judge. From these, the
best are selected to hang in
the competition. For this
show, 26 artists responded
with 57 submissions, of
which 40 were chosen for the
competition.
"I think the quality is
excellent," LeHew said.
"When I first saw the CDs, I
knew I was going to have a
very tough time selecting the
winners."
On Wednesday morning
before the opening, LeHew
spent more than two hours at
HAL's Yellow House Gallery
to view the entries and make

She shared some of the
selection process during the
many times she circled
through the rooms, judging
the 40 entries in the competi-
tion.
"I look for what jumps out
at, me, what catches my eye,"
she .said.
She also admitted that
judging is a subjective
process "I like color, I
can't get away from that. I
look very carefully at each
artist's technique, but the
impact of the painting is the
deciding factor. For Best in
Show, I choose the one I
keep going back to because it
just does the most for me."
Paintings selected for the
top awards in HAL's first
annual juried art show:
Best in Show: "Alley
Shrine," a delicate moody
street scene in mixed media
by Judith Blake.
Awards of Excellence:


ly detailed portrait ot a cat,
oil on canvas by Nancy
Floras Adams:
* "Barrett," a relaxed male
portrait in watercolor by
Janet King; and
, "Another Ducky Day," a
dramatic closeup of duck tak-
ing flight in watercolor by
Rose Besch.
LeHew, a part-time resi-
dent of Sebring, was so
impressed with the quality of
art in Highlands County that
she plans to join HAL so that
she can show her work here.
"I am thrilled that she
wants to show her work here
in our gallery," Stroppel said.
"This is what attracts more
artists to our area, they want
to participate in juried shows.
HAL will definitely make
this an annual event."
The show will be on exhib-
it in HAL's Yellow House
Gallery, 1989 Lakeview
Drive, until Feb. 22.

Pause and
Consider
Jan Merop
Pause... and Consider
for Sunday, February 3,
2008
Streaming flow
I had placed a glass of
water on the end table.
Before I had a chance to
enjoy it, a slight nudge
against the table knocked
the glass over. Though the
glass didn't break, its con-
tents broke loose going
in every direction.
Mopping it up, I found
more and more. It seemed
to have flowed every-
where touching more
places in one moment
than I would have thought
possible. It's amazing how
10 ounces of liquid con-
.fined in a glass isn't much
until it escapes and
flows out. Then it seems
more than double in size.
It got me to thinking
about other spills. Spills
that leave stains where
once again the contents of
a glass spreads to regions
beyond stopping it and
we have a mess to clean
up that seems far bigger
than the initial content.
We can all identify with
such streaming liquid
inctide FI'm sure.
- But, there is a spilling
that took place physically
that is also spiritual and
necessary for eternal life.
And, though in many
ways it is beyond our
understanding; yet it
requires our acceptance.
When Jesus Christ, God
,the Son, died on the cross,
he spilled his blood for
us. A passage in .
Colossians 1i 13-14,
NKJV, puts it this way:
"He has delivered us from
the power of darkness and
conveyed us into the king-
dom of the Son of His
love, in whom we have
redemption through His
blood, the forgiveness of
sins."
This is important to
understand because sin
se parates us from God.
Jesus came to bridge that
gap. Since he is holy, his
sacrifice was acceptable
to God the Father. That
opened the way for us to
once again have a rela-
tionship with our God,
who loves us so much.
And while we may
wonder how Jesus Christ's
dying on the cross 2,000
years ago could effect
such cleansing for us
today, think about a mere
few ounces of spilled liq-
uid and how far-it spreads.
As poor an analogy as that
might be, it made me
think of how Christ's
spilled blood cleanses us
from sin beyond our com-
prehension past, present
and future.
Sin is like the spilling
of liquid that leaves a
mess too big for us to
clean up. And that
includes the messes of
people throughout the
world. But, his blood cov-
ers it all; so says
Revelation 5:9 which
declares, "You are worthy
...for You were slain, and
have redeemed us to God
by Your blood out of
every tribe jnd tongue and
people and nation."
When we place our
trust in Jesus Christ, we
come under that streaming
flow. Selah

Spiritual

books abound

at bookstore

By DEANE McARTHUR
Friends of the Library
Our sale on cookbooks,
self-help, diet and exercise
books ended Jan. 31 with
great success. Watch for a
special sale for the month of
February that will likely be in
the realm of romance!
In my column today I
would like to feature the
'Spiritual' or 'Religion' room,
which is the very first area
one meets as you come
through our door. The books
are mainly looked after by
Juanita Roberts, who does a
great job sorting, pricing and
filing these books so they are
easy to locate and also very
easy on one's budget.
Among our collection are
several nice Bibles, some in
Spanish, as well as books
from various religions other
than Christianity. By and
large, most of the books do
deal with Christianity. We
have books that are general
spiritual reading by such
famous preachers as Billy
Graham, Schuler and C.S.
Lewis to name a few.
There are books that relate
to missionary work, to church
teaching, hymnals, Bible ref-
erences family living, daily
devotionals and study guides.
One shelf- is devoted to
Christian fiction with such
books as the "Left Behind"
Series by Tim LaHaye and
others by Janette Oake, and
Beverly Lewis. One of my
favourite Christian fiction
authors is B.odie Thoene who
writes historical fiction about
Israel, e.g. "The Zion
Chronicles," which told about
the establishment of Israel as
a state in 1948.
This room of books is
always busy and we have a


Marsha Peen is Co-op Artist of Month


Special to the News-Sun
LAKE PLACID The
Artist of the. Month of
February at the Caladium Arts
and Crafts Cooperative in
Lake Placid is Marsha Peen.
Peen is an artist who, after
30 years as a hair stylist put
down her hair brush in
exchange for a paint brush.
She moved from her home in
Calumet City, Ill., to
Michigan in 1994. She and
her husband still spend there
winters in Marcellus, Mich.
Peen loved art since she


was very young, but only in
the past several years has she
been able to devote herself to
art on a professional level. In
the summer she devotes much
of her time painting in her
studio in Michigan or in her
winter home in Lake Placid.
Peen has studied different
techniques throughout the
years from many profession-
als, but she gives special
credit to Kate Foote from the
Caladium Cooperative in
Lake Placid for helping her
enhance her skills as a water-
colorist.


Her love of vibrant colors,
flowers and nature have been
her inspirations and are used,
to create her art today. She
has won numerous' awards
and has pieces in many pri-
vate collections.
If you would like to see
Peen's work, it is displayed at
the Caladium Arts and Crafts
Store, 132 E. Interlake Blvd.
While you are there you
might like to check out the
many classes offered. The
Caladium Arts and Crafts
Store also has a Web site at
www.caladiumarts.com.

great turnover of this material
which is very,, very reason-
ably priced. And we do thank
those who donate such great
books to us.
Another section that is
growing in our bookstore is at
the back of the fireplace room
near the office. This is the
"oversize print" area. We are
really, getting a wonderful
selection in both fiction and
non-fiction on these shelves. I
checked and the books all
claim they are not abridged
from the original. If you are
having trouble with the regu-
lar print, try this section ...
you'll love it!
For the collector of old
magazines and old ads includ-
ing cars, we have several nice
older Life magazines near the
desk in the main room. Most
of them date to 1960-'70s
eras.
The regular monthly board
meeting was Jan. 21 at the


chamber of commerce build-
ing with President Dottee
Cohen in the chair. Most
board members were there as
well as two guest members of
the Friends of the Library.
The annual business lunch-
eon is at the Lakeside Resort
Tea Room at noon Monday.
By now, members should
have their newsletters, giving
the choice of menu provided.
When members call in their
reservations to either Ann
Holly or Nan Lyman, or the
bookstore at 314-0053, let
them know your choice of
meal. I am sure there will be a
good turnout as the meal is
.always so good, the meeting
interesting and this year the
Glad Hatters from the
Highlands Little Theatre will
perform and from all reports,
they are great entertainers.
Hope tO meet many of you
at the luncheon! Until then,
Happy Reading!


Special to the News-Sun

This 90-minute production

Bats help battle crop pests


Bats have a bad reputation.
But no matter what you have
heard about bats, here are
some realities. Bats are criti-
cal in the balance of nature;
they are essential to the
ecosystem. These crop and
farm-friendly creatures con-
sume enormous amounts of
insects daily. They eat the
beetles, moths, and leafhop-
pers that cost landowners bil-
lions of dollars in damages
each year. In addition, as pol-
linators, many of the smaller
species of bats play an impor-
tant role. Some tropical plants
are dependent on bats not
only for pollination but for
the spread of seeds from the
fruit they eat.
What distinguishes bats
from other mammals are their
forelimbs, which developed
as wings. This unique feature
makes them the only mammal
in the world that is naturally
capable of flight. While some
mammals may glide through
the air, bats are the only mam-
mals that can truly fly.
Bats account for approxi-
mately 20 percent of all mam-


rmals. Most hats feed
on insects, while oth-
ers feed on fruits. In
contrast to the horror
movies we have all
seen, only three
species actually feed
on blood actually
their prey consists of
vertebrates and fish.
Two species of bats
do feed on other bats.
So you see the myth
that bats will suck
your blood, is com-
pletely false.


News
From The
Watershed

Corine Burgess


Bats are a tremendous asset
to the agricultural industry.
The benefits of bats to land
owners goes on and on. A few
examples are:
1) Just 150 big brown bats
can eat enough cucumber bee-
tles each summer to protect
agricultural producers from
33 million of the rootworm
larvae. This pest costs
American producer an esti-
mated billion dollars a year.
2) Bats eat millions of
pounds nightly of insects,
including many costly pests.


3). Some land
owners have
installed bat houses-
minimizing their
crop losses by as
much as 30 percent.
4) A little brown
bat can eat 1,200
insects in an hour.

Fact vs. myth on
bats
Misconceptions
abound on bats. For
instance, they are


not blind, they do not become
entangled in human hair and
they seldom transmit disease
to other animals or humans.
Some bats can maneuver
like helicopters to pluck
insects from foliage, while
others fly 10,000 feet high
and dive like jets.
Like most animals, bats
suffer from habitat loss. Their
primary cause of decline is
destruction of natural roosts
by humans.
Landowners can help by
building and putting up bat
houses on their property, or


working with highway
departments to create roosts
under bridges. The Natural
Resource Conservation
Service is helping to ensure
mines that are closed can con-
tinue to provide habitat and
openings for bats.
Information on bats,
including how to build a bat
house, how to benefit by
attracting bats to bridges, and
how to protect bats in caves,
is available from Bat
Conservation International on
the Web.
For more information, stop
at our office at 4505 George
Blvd. in Sebring or visit the
NRCS Wildlife Habitat
Management Institute's Web
site at www.whmi.nrcs.
usda.gov or the NRCS home
Web site at www.nrcs.
usda.gov or go to www.high-
landsswcd.org/ for additional
information.
Did you know: Not only do
bats see as well as other ani-
mals, they use "echolocation"
to detect objects as fine as a
human hair in total darkness.

These old


songs, along with the story
behind the song, will be per-
formed with expert picking
and singing, a smattering of
spoons, and a good heaping of
homespun humor too.
"Audiences will experience
a sense of nostalgia remem-

heard before from their moth-

These were the songs to do

Touring together for more
than 14 years, Suzanne and
Jim have appeared at festi-
vals, concert halls, civic
events, universities, and
museums all across the coun-

a roster of themed programs,
they evoke the spirit of
American traditions into their
renowned performances.
Hale, who has performed
for more than 30 years, is also
at the forefront of the
clawhammer-style banjo
playing revival, and has been
involved in Bluegrass and
String bands through the
years. His prior career as a
luthier, or stringed-instrument

featured on "Home on the

SFCC Artist

Series presents

Time for Three

Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK South,
Florida Community College's
Artist Series presents Time
for Three at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in the SFCC
Auditorium, Highlands
Campus.
Time for Three was found-
ed in 2001 by three Curtis
Institute of Music students
intent on exploring repertoire
that stretches far beyond the
limits of convention. This
unique trio of young men fea-
tures two violins and an
upright bass.
The ensemble burst onto
the scene in July 2003, fol-
lowing a lighting-induced
power failure at
Philadelphia's Mann Center
for the Performing Arts.
Prompted by fellow orchestra
members to entertain the
audience while technicians
attempted to restore onstage
lighting, Ranaan Meyer and
Zachary DePue obliged with
an enthusiastically received
impromptu jam session.
Since then, the trio has daz-
zled audiences with its eclec-
tic mix of bluegrass,
Hungarian Gypsy, jazz, coun-
try-western fiddling, classi-
cal, and improvisatory music.
Their performances are free
of conventional performance
practice and instead draw
from each member's different
musical background.
Beyond their work'with the
trio, the musicians of Time for
Three are outstanding gifted

Time for Three is next on the schedule for South Florida
Community College's Artist Series. The trio will appear at

I heard the story of a child
whose mother had asked him
to put down the toy he was
holding in the store. He
refused no matter how many
times she told him causing a
fuss and drawing attention to
the scene he was causing.
She promised him this and
that to get the child to obey,
but he continued his behavior.
It was around Christmastime
and a store Santa was observ-
ing the whole thing.
So he came to the boy and
whispered something in his
ear. The boy immediately
dropped the toy and joined his
mother.
The mother looked over to
the Santa suspecting he had
promised to bring the toy at
Christmas and asked him
about what he'd said.
The Santa replied that he
told the boy that he would
give him a good spanking
right then.
Why is it that the child
obeyed Santa? He hadn't
cajoled him with the promise
of coveted toys. Rather, the
boy knew enough to respect
(and obey) the authority in his
voice.
Too often we see disre-
spectful behavior in the pub-
lic aiena because it is not
taught at home either by
example or expectation. Some
parents allow their children to
rule the home and they cower
in their children's presence.
Meanwhile, the child is cry-
ing out to be taught right from
wrong. Parents need to step
up to the plate.,
Let the child know their
boundaries and that you will
speak once (clearly with age
appropriate words they can
understand). If they disobey,
consequences will follow. In
this way, parents will avoid
threatening with "If I have to
tell you one more time," or
"When I count to five ..."
Frustrated anger is avoided.
And the child feels secure in
the boundaries that have been
set.


It's all about 0
Comfort


,


tAK t

One way respectful behav-
ior begins is with mom and
dad showing love and respect
to one another.
The Bible tells us in
Romans 12: 9-10, NIV, "Love
must be sincere ... be devoted
to one another in brotherly
love. Honor one another
above yourselves."
But, too often 'selfishness
rules and respect suffocates.
When our children see
mom and dad model that high
regard toward each other in
words and actions, a good
foundation is laid. As we
value our children by teach-
ing them right from wrong;
speaking to them as individu-
als and considering their feel-
ings; and, helping them
understand that being obedi-
ent to parents is obedience to
God, we are well on the way
to raising respectful children.
Respect is having high
regard for someone. But, it
also infers fear healthy fear
not terrorized fear. For exam-
ple, the healthy fear or respect
one feels in the presence of a
law enforcement officer, or
when entering the ocean, or
climbing a mountain.
Such respect helps a child
to properly come under the
authority of teachers in
school, bosses in the work-
place and show respect in
other relationships. The Bible
tells children to honor
(respect) their parents so it
will go well with them and
they'll have a long life. So,
when we teach our children to
show respect, we help them
obey God.
Let's recapture respect as a
virtue in our parenting.

News and developments from the game industry
Are you good enough for the record book?
For the first time, Guinness World Records will offer the de-
finitive guide to all video-gaming records, facts and figures in
"Guinness World Record&: Gamer's Edition 2008."
Hitting store shelves in the United States on March 11, the
"Gamer's Edition" will reveal
record feats for the likes of [
"Halo 3," the highest grossing t -.l
game in one day, generating.
$170 million worth of first-day ,' / ,
sales in the United States
alone, and fastest completion i
time for a game of "Super
Mario Bros.," an astounding
five minutes flat. The Cliff
Clavens of the world will find
great joy in knowing that a
guy named Faiz Chopdat .-'.-..-.,' ,
served the longest prison sen-
tence for playing a computer
game after refusing to turn off his "Tetris" game while
aboard an airplane, and that "Grand Theft Auto III" holds the
record for having the most guest stars in a video game (among
them Samuel L. Jackson, Ray Liotta and Dennis Hopper).
Reportedly Guinness World Records has opted to expand
into the world of gaming with a dedicated edition because the
gaming industry is now too big to be contained in just a few
pages of the traditional annual book. Since gaming records
are one of the largest sections in the Guinness World Records
database, it only made sense to create the "Gamer's Edition"
to highlight the amazing facts and figures that have made the
gaming industry what it is today

DEVILS
Continued from 1D
teams fought hard for the
lead.
It was finally Avon Park
who came out on top 33-25
after a dash of momentum and
a free-throw rally led by Daija
Barrett and Beonca Godfrey.
The final quarter was
packed full of missed free
throws and bad passes for
both teams, keeping the tug-
of-war for the lead alive and
this time it was Booker who
came from behind to tie the
ballgame 38-38 at the final
buzzer, driving the game into
overtime.
The Lady Devils immedi-
ately pulled' out in front in the
fifth quarter, and tried to calm
down and use the clock to
their advantage.
But they were unable to
hold their lead because of
wild shots and turnovers,
allowing the Tornadoes to
breeze back out in the lead
47-45.
The netters from Booker
were unable to connect with
two free throws to clinch the
win, and fouled Avon Park's
Barrett with just five seconds
left putting the Devils back


'I think we just
got rattled. It was
still a very good
season.
PAULETTE DALEY
Lady Devil head coach
into the position to tie the
game.
Unfortunately the pressure
was too much for the young
Avon Park players and they
were unable to come back for
the win.
Although the loss killed the
hopes of Avon Park moving
on to Regionals, the Lady
Devils still held a respectable
overall 19-5 record for the
season.
"We missed free throws
and we missed lay-ups at a
critical moments," said
Devil's head coach Paulette
Daley. "But things happen
when the game gets out of
hand. We were not sticking to
our game plan. I think we just
got rattled. We still had a
good season."
A good season it certainly
was, with a core of youngsters
that have the Lady Devils
poised to be strong district
contenders for years to come.

Jeremy Edwards of Lake
Wales in 3:40 earning him the
championship.
Kemosi Hatten was another
Avon Park grappler advancing
as he pinned Justin Hall of
Harmony in 45 seconds to get
to finals in the 171-pound
weight class, where Clay
Houston (Bartow) defaulted,


giving Hatten first.
Isuel Guzman took fourth
in the 189-pound division to
qualify for the Devils.
A pin in 5:12 over John
Keene of Bartow secured his
trip to regionals.
Consolation finals in the
215-pound weight class saw
Avon Park versus Sebring as
Red Devil, Troy Knight came
out on top with a 6-3 decision
over Blue Streak Andrew
Crump.


'We've got some
work to do before
next weekend.'

DENNY HAYES
Sebring vcoch

In the 285-pound weight
class, Jace Grimmett of Avon
Park took second with a pin
against Brad Amargey of
Lake Wales in 1:27 qualifying
him for finals.


Sebring coach Denny
Hayes said, "They made some
basic mistakes I thought we
were done with, but they
worked hard. We've got some
work to do before next week-
end."
"We took second last year,
but it was by nine points, so
we're closing the gap. We
always seem to lose to a team
with more wrestlers," said
Avon Park co-head coach Ed
Brown. "But last year we


came back and placed higher
[then Lake Wales] in both
regionals and state."
The 12 area wrestlers that
qualified will be looking to
move on to the state meet as
they wrestle in the regional
meet this weekend in the
Panther Gym at South Florida
Community College.
The preliminary rounds
will begin at noon Friday,
Feb. 8, with the final rounds
taking place Saturday, Feb. 9.


Merry Super

Bowl Finally
Merry Super Bowl -
Finally
While the two-week layoff
between the Conference
Championship games and the
Super Bowl may have helped
both teams in healing nag-
ging injuries and preparing
game plans, it has left the
media with far too much
time on its' hands.
From launching Tom
Brady's ankle into reality TV
superstardom to, well, that's
about it.
Sure, some pundits found,
analyzed and discussed end-
lessly ways that the perfect-
Pats can be beaten but
when it all came down to it,
very few then said that they
will be beAten.
But other than that, the
only story line they could
come up with was the daily
installment of "Mr. Brady's
Ankle."
And now that the day is
upon us, guess what, we
have the Super Bowl
Pregame Show, beginning
four hours before game time.
That is an understatement,
as we all know that with all
the pregame pomp and cir-
cumstance, the scheduled 6
p.m. start means the kickoff
will likely be sometime
around 7:15.
I mean, it would be great
that, with the game immi-
nent, to have a pre-game
show that got down to the
nuts and bolts of the
matchup but that could
easily be done in an hour-
long show.
But over four hours?
With no big story lines
seeming to be coming up in
the last 24 hours, we likely
will be left with the hours-
long finale of the '"Ankle"
show, which could soon lead
to the spin-off series,
"Peyton's Face Goatee or
not Goatee?"
The best part of the Super
Bowl, which must now be
among the top-five national
holidays of the calendar year,
of course, are the eagerly-
anticipated commercials.
The game is obviously
eagerly anticipated, but more
often than not, it seems, the
feeling of being riveted lasts
until midway through the
second quarter, except for
the fans of the winning team.
But for the casual fans just
partaking in the merriment of
the holiday gatherings, the
commercial breaks are where
the excitement begins.
Heck, even for the die-
hard football fanatics, the
breaks are welcomed.
Companies spending mil-
lions of dollars for 30-second
spots spend the entire year,
and countless other millions,
coming up with what they
hope will be the winner of
the post-game, best-commer-
cial award or at least be
included with the top five.
Which likely will be part
of the discussion of the
Super Bowl Postgame Show,
which will last who knows
how long.
But whatever it takes to
make the holiday last a little
longer.
Merry Super Bowl to all,
and to all a good night.
