Community Services director

candidate Fisher being sued

for civil rights violations


County commissioners plan
to interview her on Tuesday
By KEVIN J. SHUTT,
kevin .shutt@ newssun .com
SEBRING Commissioners
will have a chance to interview
June Fisher individually Tuesday
before voting to officially make
her the. first-ever director of
Community Services for
,Highlands County.
One of the questions they may
want to inquire about is a pend-
ing federal lawsuit by her former
assistant, who claims she and
other officials violated his con-


stitutional rights.
A former Highlands County
planner, Fisher has kept her resi-
dence and family in .Sebring
while she moved 'around various
jobs in the region until landing
the 'Citrus County administra-
tor's position in October 2006.
She was last employed by
Highlands County about 12 years'
ago.
Fisher has accepted a salary of
$97,000 to come home, which is
$27,000 less than she makes as
Citrus' administrator. It's also a

Appeals court

finds for county in

records lawsuit

Colby's winning streak vs.
county comes to an end
By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevini.shutt@newssun.coim
SEBRING When it comes to suing the
Highlands County Board of County
Commissioners, Preston Colby wins some and
loses some.
In his 2005 lawsuit against .
the county for charging too <
much tor research and requir-
ing payment upfront, Colby has
won and lost.
The suit resulted from an
argument between Colby and
former public information offi- Colby
cer Sarah Beth Hopton about
the county's public records research fee.
"Hopton replied that he could 'sue her if he did
not like it," Chief Judge Stevan T. Northcutt
wrote in his Jan. 25 opinion. "This pretty much
ended the conversation."

Veterans Beach to

remain closed

Water quality still hazardous
By MATT MURPHY
imatn. nurphy@iinewssun.coin
SEBRING Veterans Beach will remain
closed for at least one more month due to high
levels of fecal coliform in the water there.
The beach was first closed last month on
orders from the Department of Health, after a
monthly test showed that the fecal coliform lev-
els were at a level which could present a health
risk for swimmers. The water was again tested
earlier this week, and the results were the same.
City Administrator Bob Hoffman said the city
will be putting up new signs at Veterans Beach
about the closure. The current signs say the
beach is closed but does. not provide a reason
why, and the city is ia contact with the Health

Teen jailed in

string of car

break-ins in

Sun 'N Lake
By TREY CHRISTY
rrev.(christ'v@ 'newss'sslun.com
SEBRING The late
September burglaries in the
Sun 'N Lake subdivision
have finally resulted in an
arrest.
The suspect, Thomas
Nelson of Sebring, was taken
into custody Feb. 6,-just 16
days after he turned 18.
Nelson is the suspect in
seven cases involving thefts
from 10 different cars.
The 22 different charges he
faces' include 11 for burglary
of a structure, three for theft
between $300 and $5,000,
two for theft between $100
and $300, thiee for petty
theft, two for credit card theft
and one for
illegal use of
a credit card.
The burgla-
ries happened
between Sept.
19-20.
Within a
Nelson week, Nelson
was devel-
oped as a suspect after he was
-identified in pictures from
Heartland. National Bank's
automated teller machine,
Robert Burch of the
Highlands County Sheriff's
Office wrote in a report.
The pictures allegedly
showed him using a stolen
card on Sept. 20.
On Urbino Street, Nelson
rummaged through several
cars, taking ATM cards,
money and compact discs,
Burch said.
Some cars looked rum-
maged through with nothing
missing.
On Navarre Avenue, gold
rings were added to the list of
stolen property.
A hat and wallet with
'"2 I social security card were
reported stolen from two cars
on Capri Street, and a stereo
and pair of sunglasses were
missing frorri two more cars
on Tangier Street.
Although he is currently
18, Nelson was a juvenile
when he committed the
crimes, so he was transported
to the Juvenile Justice Center
in Bartow.

Park Place Truss


catches fire again

Friday fire not as big as Jan. 17 blaze


By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.shutt@newssun.com
SEBRING Friday
night's fire at Park Place
Truss wasn't the barn burner
that Sebring Fire Department
responded to three weeks ago.
Chief Brad Batz said the
small fire was easily con-
trolled by a single engine.
A suspicious blaze that
destroyed a building full of
antique machinery Jan. 17 is
still under investigation by
the State Fire Marshall's
Office, which was also
summed to investigate
Friday's fire.
Batz said it's standard pro-
tocol for SFD to bring in the
investigators when two fires
occur at the same address in a
relatively short time period.
Friday's fire was reported
at 8:35 p.m. and downtown
units arrived by 8:37 p.m. It
was under control by 8:47, Lt.
Ken Barefield said Saturday.

located at 454 Park St., didn't
lose property or machinery to
the fire and normal operations
shouldn't be hindered.
There were no injuries, he
said.
The Jan. 17 fully-involved
blaze was visible across Lake

See you at the fair

Rides soar into the air, their lights sparkling and
twirling.
Flags snap in the wind.
Inside the arena, sawdust is spread on the floor and
the aluminum barricades are anchored in place.
FFA and 4-H students practice parading their steers
and hogs for the junior livestock show and sale.
Young women dream of being crowned Miss
Highlands County.
The 71st Highlands County Fair has begun.
With its mix of old and new, education and play,
and food, food, food, there is something for everyone
at Fireman's Field this week.
We urge everyone to go at least once and check
everything out.
The fair opens at 5 p.m. every weekday evening,
and at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Taste the cotton candy, smell the kettle corn, watch
the Italian sausages plump as they sizzle on the grill.
Listen to live bands. Scream as gravity forces you
back into your seat as you spin and your stomach
tumbles.
Children 10 and under may enter free of charge.
Everyone else pays a $6 entrance fee. Rides are sepa-
rate. A $17 ride band permits unlimited rides. Ride
tickets may also be bought one at a time.
Looking for a little suspense? Attend the beauty,
baking, livestock or youth citrus projects competi-
tions.
Fairs like this are a slice of Americana, be sure you
sample what it has to offer, but at the same time let's
again warn parents of children to know where they
are and who they are with. It's not always the road-
hands, or carnies, that we should be weary of, but
sometimes people attending such events are not the
most likeable. Have your young child attend the fair
with an older sibling. Groups tend to do well togeth-
er when they are mature enough. Better yet, go to the
fair with your child. It will make memories that you'll
carry forever.


Most people are in the dark about light


Today, only one in 10 Americans live
in an area where they can see the 2,500
or so stars that should be visible under
normal nighttime conditions due to
"light trespass" in both city and rural
areas. Not only is light pollution the
"death of night" but there is also human
health consequences. With more devel-
opment in Highlands County, the rural
atmosphere is rapidly being diminished
by infringing light pollution.
The "right to privacy from intrusive
light and prevention of nighttime sleep
deprivation that negatively affects
human behavior is an important consid-
eration. NASA studies on astronauts in
space indicate that night lights can
impair thinking, result in daytime grog-
giness, contribute to tension, lack of
concentration, and impaired thinking.
The hormone melatonin, affected by the
presence or absence of light, influences
astronauts who require restful sleep in
artificial darkness to perform well in
space.
"NASA is researching the affect of
light to determine optimal wavelengths
for use as a countermeasure to sleep and
circadian cycle disruption of astronauts
as sleep deficit is considered a risk fac-
tor during space expeditions. Resulting
physiological and behavioral changes
can threaten the success of a mission by
diminishing alertness, cognitive ability
and psychomotor performance"
(National Space Biomedical Research
Institute, www.nsbri.org).
Research indicates that "light tres-

Leave the handicap
parking for the handicap
Editor:
I am a handicap with a wheelchair. I
know that there are others in the same
shape or worse. This Thursday I had to
park out by Blockbuster's to get a place
where I could get get my wheelchair out
of my van.
I am wondering why there are so
many inconsiderate people that are not
handicapped to the people that are. One
of these days they may be in the shape
and then see how that they will think
then.
I know that there are a lot of real
good people out there. There are a lot of
them that offer to help in any way that
they can. God bless them.
I do not ask much, just treat me with
. a little compassion and let me have a
place to park. Take care, stay well and
the main thing is be happy.

Meus special supporters
Editor:
A chance encounter after the convic-
tion of Jean Claude Meus in 2003 lead
to something that the word special is
too small of a word to describe it. A
chance encounter lead to a group of
supporters for Jean Claude that no one
would have expected, the family of
Nona and Lindsey Moore, the mother
and daughter that perished in the acci-
dent.
SFrom the day I offered my condo-
lences to Beth Jahna and introduced
myself to her as the sister of the woman
engaged to Jean Claude, the flickering
candle of hope was lit. It was Beth's
inquiry on how Jean Claude was doing
and then her shock to find out that he
had been convicted and would be going
to prison that showed me that this fami-
ly is indeed a very special one. Phone
numbers were exchanged and the sup-
port of this family began.
Ashley Moore, now a beautiful young
woman, survived that horrible accident
and has memories no young person
should have to have but she stands with
her aunts, Beth and Dana Christensen,
proclaiming Jean Claude's innocence of
wrong doing. Standing in front of .
reporters and showing her support for
Jean Claude shows what a remarkable
young woman she is.

the courtroom during the hearing held
on Jan. 28. Tears trickled down their
cheeks as they saw this man brought in
shackled. They are truly a remarkable
family.
It has been almost seven years now
since the loss of their beloved Nona and
Lindsey, but they have to relive their
deaths through the necessary news
media involved. Through all their pain
and sorrow they have been there for
Jean Claude. I know in my heart that
they will celebrate also when Jean
Claude is freed not only because he is
no longer behind bars but because the
reminders of that night will not have to
be relived through the necessary media'
accounts.
Martin Luther King Jr said, Our
lives begin to end the day we become
silent over things that matter." I want to
thank this wonderful family for not
staying silent over something that mat-
tered. Those of us that love Jean Claude
hold a special place in our hearts for
this family. They will have played a big
part in the special day when I can put
on my van the words "Free at Last-
Thank God He is Free at Last."

affects humans on Earth who need a 24-
hour day/night cycle to maintain healthy
circadian or biological rhythms.
Humans do better when they're kept in
the dark during sleeping hours.
Researchers at the University of
Pennsylvania, Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia, indicate that, children
younger than 2, who sleep with a night-'
light on, are more likely to develop
nearsightedness during childhood and
teenage years." Robert Han, scientist at
the Center of Disease Control and
Prevention, Atlanta and Richard
Stevens, Energy Department, Northwest
National Laboratory, theorize that
chronic disruptions in melatonin pro-
duction caused by sleeping in a room
bathed in streetlight glow contributes to
the development of hormone-related
cancers including breast cancer
(www.audobon.org).
Researchers are also scrutinizing the
"myth" that excessive night-light is a
deterrent to crime; lighting can enhance
nighttime surveillance but it is unlikely
to scare a criminal away and does not
affect daylight break-ins when people
are away or at work. For home surveil-

nt A wise person once said,
"a week is a long time in
politics."
As I sat down to prepare
OU this week's column. I found
holut myself going back to that
saying again and again. The
Republican Party may well
be praying the saying is true
they will need all the time

repair the damage that is
growing on a daily basis.
Last week I said that
watching the Republicans
campaign was like watching
an auto accident happen in
4@00M front of you, while the
Democrats reminded me of a
street fight. After this week, I
have to revise my view. The
Republicans' campaigning
now reminds me of an auto
accident that comes crashing
into the middle of a street
fight, while Senators Clinton
and Obama appear to have
gotten a major case of nice.
I have heard so much
venom from those I've
thought of as conservatives
this week I'm surprised I

even by the low standards of

One of the great mysteries

how, after spending months

intrusive and excessive energy lights are
mercury-vapor lamps that shine in all
directions.
In the city of Sanibel there are code
ordinances and penalties for outside
lights that "disturb or annoy persons
inhabiting a neighboring residence"
(www.ilsr.org). Unshielded "Miami riot"
lights," and city light glare also disturbs
wildlife reproduction, navigation habits
of migratory animals, and threatens
ecosystem balance.
To target light abatement, county zon-
ing laws can restrict development in
designated dark areas; require hooded
lights on outdoor stadiums/state facili-
ties; enforce power companies to pro-
vide pole lamp light shields and energy
efficient "cut-off lights" that allows no
emission through the fixture above a
horizontal plane minimizing source
glare, directing light uniformly onto the
ground. "The city of Los Angeles
replaced high-energy incandescent bulbs
with high pressure sodium bulbs and
uses 'cut-off' lights (www.lacity.org).
According to FPL's Corporate
Communications officer, Jim Davison,
FPL has cutoff lights available but "we
install what the municipality wants.
FPL handles concerns individually
based on customer needs and different
field conditions."
Highlands County residents need to
consider light abatement for their neigh-
bors and themselves.

with my own ears that if
McCain was the nominee she
would not only vote for

I started checking for other

People keep asking why

Here's what I think. I think
he's holding out for the con-

nee selected by the time the
convention starts (something
that last occurred in 1976)
then it's anybody's game.
Huckabee might have a shot
there if he can persuade dele-

Of course, the convention
is a long way off. Today, as I
type the end of this column,
McCain is scheduled to
speak to the Conservative

his opportunity to make his

who hold a number of things
against him.

he's still one of them. Get

Red tandem

couple riding

through the

Highlands
By KEVIN J. SHUTT
kevin.siiihuitt@iinewtssiiiin.omi
SEBRING Jeff and
Louise Davis aren't the hard-
core cyclists like Gary and
Carol Speary, whom they
never met but will stay with
tonight while they cycle north
to Nova Scotia.
You might have seen them
yesterday around 4 p.m. as
they rode north on U.S. 27
from the Palmdale area.
They shopped one of the
grocery stores in Lake Placid
before resting their heads in a
rented cottage.
This morning, they'll ride
about 25 miles to the Speary
residence at Tanglewood in
Sebring.
The Speary's are veteran
tandem tourers themselves,
having rode more than 6,000
miles last summer and log-
ging their mileage and
exploits on crazyguyon-
abike.com.
"This has become the
major site for people who do
long-distance cycling," Jeff
Davis said, explaining it was
through the Web site that they
came across the Spearys.
Jeff and Louise Davis
recently retired from
University of Washington at
60 and 62, respectively. She
was a bookkeeper and he was
an assistant general counsel.
Their bike has a reflector
triangle that reads, "Just
Retired."
"We like to say why settle
for an active retirement when
you can have a hyper-active
retirement," Jeff Davis said.
The couple rented their
Washington condo, sold their
car and took off. Their trip
consists of several parts, and
they're not forcing them-
selves to pedal every foot of
every mile to traverse the
country.
",They began last' sunfimer,
taking a train to Milwaukee,
then biking to Ithica, N.Y.,
where they spent time with a
new grandchild.
Again, they hopped a train,
this time south to West Palm
Beach to cycle to Key West,
with a week off to fly to
Austin, Texas, for a daugh-
ter's wedding.
"We're not purists," Jeff
doesn't mind saying, explain-
ing rental cars, sightseeing
and air-conditioned lodging
are part of their bike sojourn.
Their blog, at
redtandem.net instead of
"crazyguy," is more for non-
cycling family and friends
than cycling fiends.
"We don't have to prove
anything to anyone," he said,
explaining he and his wife,
before they met in the early
'90s, had made their own.

Serving Up The Sweets


By TREY CHRISTY
trey.chriso'@newssuii.coim
SEBRING In a covert
operation by the Highlands
County Sheriff's Office, 38
stores and businesses selling
alcohol were visited by
underage buyers.
Last weekend's controlled'
alcohol buys ended with one-
third of the stores selling
alcohol to the underage buy-
ers posing as regular cus-
tomers.
"It's troubling that one out
of three stores sold without
asking for proper identifica-
tion," said HCSO Capt.
Randy Labelle, adding the
operation was "very success-
ful."
"We were able to generate a
lot of data and we are analyz-
ing that in regards to the
clerks," he said. "Looking for
patterns, the time the pur-
chase was made a lot of
different variables."
The HCSO used a number
of different underage adults,
ages 18 to 20, in varying
sexes and races.
"The data is being analyzed
and we will come up with an
analysis," Labelle said when
asked about which buyers had
greater success rates.
Minimal controlled alcohol
buys in the county have been
conducted recently, but they
are something the HCSO
plans to increase, Labelle
said.
"Even though it's February,
it's getting close to the end of
the (school) year. You have

SEBRING After banningI
metal buildings in all but
commercial and industrial
zoning districts last year, the
Sebring City Council is now
considering banning them in
its own, newly created zoning
district.
In December, the council
passed an ordinance creating
a new Public Lands District,
which includes land owned by
the city, county, state and fed-
eral governments, along with
Sebring Firemen Inc. and the
Highlands County Fair
Association. Now, the council
has to decide whether to allow
the metal buildings in those
districts.
Under an ordinance pro-
posed at Tuesday's council
meeting, metal buildings in
public districts will be treated
similarly to those in commer-
cial industrial zoning, and
will be allowed if they are
"not visually intrusive and are
consistent with the character
of the neighborhood or of the
community." The city's
Planning and Zoning Board
will decide if a proposed
metal building fits inside the
parameters.
Council member Margie
Rhoades sai9 she would also
like to see the city council
have the final say, and added
that the city and other govern-
ments should abide by the
same rules as everyone else.
"What's good for the goose

Rhoades said. "We should try

Cool is bringing Fisher
before the board as his recom-
mendation, but she wasn't his
first choice, he told the board
Tuesday.
Instead, he took the advice
of the citizen selection com-
mittee of Nancy Hensley,

to eliminate metal buildings
as much as we can, too."
The proposed ordinance
will be forwarded to the
Planning and Zoning Board
for review and be taken up
again by the council next
month.
Also at Tuesday's meeting:
Council heard from rep-
resentatives of Lomonico
Contracting, the lowest bidder
for the fire station renovation
who the council passed over
in favor of Orangewood
Builders at its last meeting.
Deborah Hearin, vice presi-
dent and chief financial offi-
cer at Lomonico Contracting,
said she was speaking to "dis-
cuss facts and dispel rumors,"
including what she called
"slanderous" comments made
by architect Keith Hunnicutt
at the last council meeting.
There, Hunnicutt recommend-
ed the city accept
Orangewood's bid, even
though it was $32,000 more,
because the company had
-more experience in projects


sole finalists.
The selection committee
chose Fisher above several
on-staff directors.
According to Citrus
Chronicle Online, Fisher
replaced Citrus Administrator
Richard Wesch when her
board fired him in 2006.
She inherited Wesch's
assistant administrator, Tom
Dick, whom Fisher fired June
2007 over alleged manage-
ment style differences, the
Chronicle reported.
That termination led to a
lawsuit.
"Fired Assistant County
Administrator Tom Dick has
field a federal lawsuit accus-
ing a county commissioner,
her husband and two senior
county staff members of slan-
dering his name and violating
his constitutional rights," a
Dec. 14 Chronicle story
reported.
Fisher and the Citrus
County board attorney were
the staffers named in the suit,
which alleged they violated


of the fire station's scale.
But owner Anthony
Lomonico said his company
actually had plenty of experi-
ence in major projects, and
touted his graduation from
fire college and general con-
tracting work on several
large-scale projects around
the state, not to mention his
long resume of public service
work in and around the com-
munity.
Hearin also questioned
Hunnicutt's mentioning of
two lawsuits Lomonico
Contracting is involved in,
saying both matters should
have been brought up in pri-
vate.
"Hunnicutt did not keep his
rumors confidential," she
said. "He asked for one side
of the position, and didn't
contact me."
She said she wasn't asking
for the city to redo the bid-
ding process, but instead was
asking for an apology from
Hunnicutt and a reprimand of
him by the city. Lomonico
also said the city didn't fol-
low its bidding guidelines
correctly, and added that his
company never received writ-
ten notice about the compa-
ny's bid not being accepted.
Mayor George Hensley said
that letter should have been
sent out, and urged the city to
send it soon.
City Administrator Bob
Hoffman said the city was fol-
lowing its procedure, and
council simply used its wide
latitude to select what it
thought was the best bid.


Dick's First and 14th
Amendment rights to freely
associate with Wesch outside
of working hours.
According the Citrus news-
paper. "It also alleges Fisher
slandered his name and repu-
tation when she falsely
accused him of being under
the influence of alcohol at a
May 9 staff meeting, a charge
he said she never attempted to
prove, yet an allegation she
put in writing and placed in
his personnel file, a public
record."
Dick has since dropped
Fisher's, the attorney's and
the commissioner's individual
names from the suit but
they're still being sued in
their capacity as county offi-
cials, a Feb. 4 update story
reported.
Fisher's contract as admin-
istrator requires a 30-day
notice but at least one com-
missioner there said he'd be
happy to have her leave
immediately, according to the
Chronicle.

Tests will be conducted again at the
end of February, but Hoffman said he
doesn't expect anything to change
until there is more rainfall and
increased wave action in the lake.

the only of the city's four public
beaches that will be closed this month.
Pier, Crescent and Hidden beaches
were all tested,'and all of those tests
came back with acceptable results.


SUIT
Continued from IA
Colby has sued the county
upwards of 25 times, by his
count, and, according to his
lawyer James F. McCollum,
has a "habit" of winning.
"Haven't lost one yet,"
Colby bragged in a Dec. 20,
2006, News-Sun article about
a another lawsuit.
In that story, McCollum
referenced Hopton's chal-
lenge to Colby.
"It's incredibly simple in
its concept," McCollum had
said of Florida's public
records law, alleging new vio-
lations in the 2006 suit. "But,
for some reason, the county
administration seems to botch
that up and say stupid things
like, 'So sue me.'"
Having paid the $65.12
research deposit to Hopton,
Colby followed her sugges-
tion the next day and sued the
county, its Administrator Carl
Cool, Hopton and Emergency
Management Director Bill,
Nichols.
He complained they didn't
make requested documents
available, made him pay in
advance just to review the
documents and charged him
too much by including
employee benefits in the for-
mula used to determine the
cost of research.
In a footnote to his opinion,
Northcutt said the exchange
between Hopton and Colby
had "little relevance" to the
suit but it "exemplifies the
parties' general inability to
communicate with each other
in an effective or constructive
way.
He described Colby's rela-
tionship with the county as
"an unfortunate state of
affairs" that continued
throughout litigation.
The same day he filed his
lawsuit, Colby gave a copy of
the complaint to County
Attorney Ross MacBeth, who
provided 28 pages of hand-
written notes he said were
responsive to Colby's request.
Colby wanted minutes and
meeting notices for the
Hurricane Executive Decision
Group, comprised of county,
municipal and school board
officials.
Colby learned of the group
in 2005. The group had meet-
ings during the 2004 hurri-
cane season and he wanted to
see those minutes, to which
Nichols allegedly referred.
In addition to the notes,
MacBeth provided files for
review and offered a partial
refund of the research fee
because the records were
found in about half the time
estimated.
"Colby, however, did not
want to look through the
boxes of files and he has
never availed himself of this


opportunity," the chief' judge
wrote. "He continues to com-
plain that the county has
failed to satisfy his public
records request."
Colby denied the refund
o f'er.
Northcutt said the minutes
Colby sought are "seemingly
nonexistent."
Overturning in part
Highlands County Circuit
Court Judge David
Langford's. decision, the
appellate court said research
fees may take into account an
employee's base salary plus
benefits.
The court agreed with
Langford that requesting a
deposit before initiating
research is legal and such fees

Southern Lifestyle assisted living facility now open


By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY

LAKE PLACID Chuck
Oakes is proud to announce
his new Southern Lifestyle
assisted living facility, just
off U.S. 27, across from
Florida Hospital Lake Placid,
is now open and accepting
residents.
The 105-room facility has
been two years in the plan-
ning and building.
One reason Oakes took his
time was his' attention to
details, he said, because he
wanted to create a comfort-
able, family oriented, residen-
tial center.
For example, he pointed
out the hand rails in the bath-
rooms were longer for greater
ease, and embedded in the
walls for greater strength.
There are heat lamps installed
in the large, roll-in showers
and the toilets are high-rise
models for ease of use.
Each wing is painted a dif-'
ferent color and has its own
decorative theme to help resi-
dents find their Way.
The long hallways have
vaulted ceilings, he said,
because it gives them the look
of a high class hotel.
The dining room has chan-
deliers, and serves restaurant
style with quiet music for a
background. A chef, Rosendo
Torres, is in charge in the
kitchen.
There are three different
size rooms, some designed for
singles, some for couples,
some for roommates. Prices
range from. $2,000 to $3,000 a
month.
At the moment the facility
is private pay only, but every
resident has accessto all the

ed living facility in Lake Placid. This court yard contains a nine hole putting course, shaded
seating, and landscaped walks.


amenities regardless of the
rent they pay. The amenities
include three meals a day,
maid service, support services
and a long list of activities.
The elderly need to be kept
active to remain fulfilled and
happy, Oakes said. That's
why there is a nine-hole put-
ting golf course, croquet,
shuffle board, a pool table,
table darts, two giant high
definition televisions in com-
mon areas, card tables, and
picnic areas outside. Small
pets are welcome.
The center will have a
beauty shop, physical therapy,
and vans to take residents to
doctor appointments and
planned events throughout the
.county.


Sunday services will be
held every week for the resi-
dents who don't want, or
can't, travel to a church.
Southern Lifestyle also
accepts residents suffering
with Alzheimer's disease.
There is a separate wing,
called Memory Lane, for
them alone. It is the only area
that is locked down. That is to
keep the residents safe. They
have their own dining room,
activity room, and court yard.
Because studies have
shown that Alzheimer's
patients do better with a
roommate, Oakes said, all the
rooms in that wing are dou-
bles, although if an individual
wants to be alone that can be
arranged.


Memory Lane's court yard
is built around a geometric
maze of crisscrossing side-
walks. That is because many
Alzheimer's patients have a
need to keep moving, Oakes
said. With the paths designed
as they are, a person can walk
for hours without stopping.
Oakes said he took as much
time selecting the staff as he
did in planning the center. He
sees them as an extended
family, working as a team.
"Most people coming here
will be leaving homes they
have lived in for years. It's a
major, upsetting time. I want
people to feel at home from
their first day here," he said.
Call 465-0568 and ask for
Bea Cooper for details.


Self-employed? Don't forget

about health care coverage


People choose self.
employment for a variety of
reasons: To escape corpo-
rate bureaucracy, flex their
entrepreneurial spirit or
simply put food on the
table after being laid off.
Nearly 11 million
Americans work for them-
selves, which means they
and their families quite
possibly are living without
the safety net of employer-
provided benefits and insur-
ance.
Whether you're self-
employed by choice or
necessity, or simply consid-
ering taking the plunge,
don't forget that along with
greater freedom, you'll also
face additional responsibili-
ties that could put your
financial security at risk.
For example, health insur-
ance can be shockingly
expensive although the
premiums are fully
deductible, helping offset
your taxable income.
Before simply deciding.
to forego coverage, be
aware that over half of per-
sonal bankruptcies stem
from health-related expens-
es, even for those with
insurance. One serious
accident or unexpected ill-
ness could potentially wipe
out your savings and
plunge you into debt.
Here are a few medical
insurance options to con-
sider:
Investigate coverage
through your significant
other's plan and compare
the terms and cost with pri-

vate insurance.
Some trade and profes-
sional organizations offer
group coverage to mem-
bers. However, avoid
groups formed strictly to
sell insurance because rates'
could climb disproportion-
ately when healthier mem-
bers drop out.
If you're currently
covered through your
employer but are consider-
ing self employment, ask
whether you're eligible for
COBRA continuation cov-
erage. Typically, COBRA
provides benefits for 18
months (sometimes longer)
and costs 102 percent of the
full premium probably
considerably more than
you're used to paying.
Although healthy peo-
ple can usually find private
insurance, be aware that
even minor pre-existing
conditions may exclude you:
from eligibility. A good
insurance broker'can help
you find appropriate cover-
age. Ask friends for recom-
mendations or go to the

SunTrust donates $100,000 to Foundation for Excellence in Education


Special to the News-Sun
ORLANDO SunTrust
joined the Foundation for
Excellence in Education on
Thursday to officially launch
the Distinguished Teaching
Initiative, a recognition and
professional development
program for Florida's educa-
tors. At the annual sales lead-
ership conference, SunTrust,
Florida President Tom Kuntz
presented Jeb Bush, chairman
of the Foundation for
Excellence in Education, with
a $100,000 contribution to
support the effort.
"Governor Bush has long
been a champion of excel-
lence in education," states
Tom Kuntz, chairman, presi-
dent and chief executive offi-
cer of SunTrust Bank Florida.
"During his two terms as
governor, Florida raised aca-
demic standards, returned
accountability to public
schools and created the most


ambitious school choice pro-
gram in the nation.
In recognition of his
respect and concern for the
children of the citizens of
Florida, SunTrust Bank
Florida is extremely pleased
to donate $100,000 to support
the newly established
Distinguished Teaching
Initiative managed by the
Foundation for Excellence in
Education."
The Distinguished
Teaching Initiative will iden-
tify effective teaching based
on the progress students
demonstrate on standardized
tests from one year to .the
next.
Teachers whose students
made the greatest progress
with different types of stu-
dents, including students with
disabilities, low-performing
students, high performing stu-
dents, and English language
learners will be invited to


Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING Riverside Bank has
announced a sweepstakes in which winners
will have one month's mortgage or rent paid
for by the bank. The contest is created in
response to a slumping economy at a time
when most households are feeling the results
of holiday spending.
"We understand that many people in the
home towns we serve are feeling the pinch of
the difficult economy. We thought by present-
ing this sweepstakes, in the Riverside caring
way, we could ease their pain a little," said
John Williams, regional president in
Highlands, Polk and Okeechobee counties.
"By eliminating the responsibility of one
month's mortgage or rent payment, winners
can use their funds toward paying off other
bills or whatever else they choose."
The contest ends at 11:59:59 (EST) on
March 31. A total of 15 winners will be select-
ed; five at the end of each of three months, one
in each of the bank's five operating regions -
Central Region (Indian River, St. Luciel and
Martin Counties), Palm Beach County,
Heartland Region (Polk, Highlands and
Okeechobee Counties)t North Region (Volusia
and Lake Counties) and Brevard Region

Some people combine a

organization.
Customers will sign a cer-
tificate showing their partici-
pation in the program.
The Girl Scouts will deliv-
er the certificates and cookies
to the charitable organization
after the direct sales period.
This is a great way for both
Girl Scouts and community
members to give back to the
community!
Girl Scout cookies cost
$3.50 per package and all
eight varieties have zero trans
fat per'serving, in compliance
with FDA regulations.
Two new cookies are fea-
tured this year: Lemon Chalet
Cremes (a vanilla sandwich
cookie with a hint of cinna-
mon-ginger spice and a
refreshing zesty lemon creme
filling) and Sugar-Free


MCT
Girl Scout Cookies have zero grams of trans fat.


Chocolate Chips (a classic
flavor with real chocolate
chips).
Other varieties include the
popular Thin Mints (pepper-
mint wafer covered with a
cocoa-coating); Samoas
(vanilla cookie covered with
caramel and toasted coconut
and striped with a chocolate
coating); Tagalongs (cookie
topped with peanut butter and
a chocolate coating); Do-Si-
Dos (oatmeal cookie with
peanut butter filling); Trefoils
(a shortbread cookie); All
Abouts (a shortbread cookie
with an embossed Girl Scout
message on top and a fudge


coating on the bottom).
All Girl Scout cookie pro-
ceeds benefit local Girl
Scouts. A percentage goes
directly to Girl Scout troops
to support troop activities
such as field trips, camping
and service projects.
The remainder benefits all
girls throughout the Girl
Scout council by providing
Girl Scout program, financial
assistance so all girls can
have access to Girl Scout
opportunities, recruitment
and training of adult volun-
teers, special events, and
camp and building mainte-

Pause and
Consider
Jan Merop


Love gifts

It has been said that we
can give without loving.
But, we can't love without
giving.
Giving may manifest
itself in words of gratitude
and praise; in acts of self-
less service to another; in
giving one's time: in giving
presents that reflect some-
one's personality or inter-
ests; or in simple hugs and.
kisses.
It's wonderful to be the
giver of such gifts and
equally so to be the unex-
pected receiver especially
when a yearning in one's
heart is acknowledged and
then acted upon by one who
loves you.
My recent interest in
sketching scenery from pho-
tos is a relaxing pastime that
I pursued fairly regularly.
But, not wanting to leave
pencils, sketch pad, eraser
and the like on the dining
table. I'd gather everything
together and put it away
each time.
Eventually, my pastime
became a thing of the past.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I imagined how fun it
would be to have a simple
easel set up permanently
near a window. Then in
seeing it each day, I'd take a
few moments to add to the
picture or to plan more
concentrated sketching time.
I like drawing scenes with
trees and thought a book
that could teach me how to
achieve more authenticity
would be helpful.
I mentioned this to Ken
and he immediately said,
"Let's go see what we can
find."
We had fun that evening
just looking and trying to
figure out what would be
best for me. I didn't even
know if an easel was appro-
priate for what I was doing
- that's how uninformed I
am in this type of art.
In fact, because of my
uncertainty, I began to back
away from my request.
Perhaps, we shouldn't invest
in these things. After all, it's
just a simple hobby.
However on Christmas
morning, I opened two spe-
cial gifts: a beautiful table
top or lap top oak easel and
a book on how to draw
trees. The easel has a place
to hold the picture from
which I'm sketching along
with my sketch pad.-It also
has a drawer to hold my
supplies.
I doubt I would have ever
purchased these things for
myself. But, my husband
acted upon the wondering
and yearning of my heart. I
felt so special receiving that
gift and knowing he
believed in me.
Love expresses itself in
many ways. I Corinthians
13: 6 it says, "Love ...
rejoices in the truth." Such
rejoicing in truth happily
celebrates the achievements
of another no matter how
small or simple they may
be.
With Valentine's Day
approaching, let's read I
Corinthians 13 in the Bible
(the Love Chapter) and
examine how we are' to love.

Hindus work toward individual enlightenment

Diversions "ovs
Courtship, not da ng, PLEASE CALL THEATRanE OR VISIT U

Courtship, not dating, can foster proper teenage behavior IssaasssE


Question: My oldest son is
approaching the age where we
had previously agreed to
allow him to date. The more I
think about it, though, the
more the whole idea concerns
me. It seems that even in the
best of dating situations, the
negatives exceed the posi-
tives. I can't help but feel that
I'm setting my son up for
failure. Several of my friends
have adopted the concept of
"courtship" rather than dating.
Could you please explain this
idea to me, and suggest which
of the two arrangements you
favor?
Dr. Dobson: Simply put,
the "courtship" concept is a
reaction to the dating model
which is thought by many to
be unhealthy. Dating couples
go through a series of short
term and often unsatisfying
relationships over a period of
five or ten years or longer.
They are being taught to flit
from one relationship to
another like a honeybee
buzzing from flower to
flower. Why would they not
be inclined later to bail out on
a marriage partner when
bored or frustrated? Dating
also encourages sexual famil-
iarity and experimentation. It
isn't difficult to understand
why an increasing number of
parents feel this traditional


model undermines
commitment,
exclusivity and per-
manence in mar-
riage.
The courtship
model, by contrast,
seeks to postpone
emotional and
physical entangle-
ments until they
occur with the
probable husband
or wife. The family


Focus On
The Family
Dr. James Dobson


is very supportive 0
in helping to choose that spe-
cial individual for a serious
courtship when the time is
right. Until then, relationships
between the sexes are limited
to group situations in careful-
ly controlled settings.
Physical intimacy for the sake
of titillation and experimenta-
tion are considered to be most
inappropriate. It is the ulti-
mate in "saving oneself" for
the man or woman with
whom a lifetime will be
spent.
Many parents, and
undoubtedly the majority of
teenagers, would consider the
courtship model to be extreme
and terribly restrictive. Not
every teenager would tolerate
it. I believe it is a good idea
in those settings where both
generations are committed to
it and are willing to work


together to make it
successful.
Courtship is not rec-
ommended in cases
of adolescent rebel-
lion or where there
is great resistance to
the idea. Whether or
not to take this
approach, therefore,
is a matter for indi-
vidual families to
determine.


Question: What
are the prospects for the very
pretty or handsome child?
Does he or she usually have
smooth sailing all the way?
Dr. Dobson: Well, that
child has some remarkable
advantages, as I have
described. She is much more
likely to accept herself and
enjoy the benefits of self-con-
fidence. However, she also
faces some unique problems
which the homely child never
experiences. Beauty in our
society is power, and power
can be dangerous in immature
hands. A 14-year-old young
woman, for example, who is
prematurely curved and
rounded in all the right places
may be pursued vigorously by
males who would exploit her
beauty. As she becomes more
conscious of her flirtatious
power, she is' sometimes


urged towards promiscuity.
Furthermore, women who
have been coveted physically
since early childhood often
became bitter and disillu-
sioned as they age. I'm think-
ing particularly of
Hollywood's most glamorous
sex queens, such as Marilyn
Monroe and Brigitte Bardot,
who had difficulty dealing
with the depersonalization of
body worship as the years
passed.
Research also indicates
some interesting conse-
quences in regard to martial
stability for the "beautiful
people." In one important
study, the more attractive col-
lege girls were found to be
less happily married 25 years
later. It is apparently difficult
to reserve the "power" of sex
for one mate, ignoring the ego
gratification which awaits
outside the marriage bonds.
And finally, the more attrac-
tive a person is in his or her
youth, the more painful is the
aging process.
My point is this: the meas-
urement of worth on a scale
of beauty is wrong, often
damaging to the haves and
have-nots.

Dr Dobson is founder and
chairman of the board of Focus
on the Family.

remove all obstacles to their
happiness.
The bride then arrives,

Aquaculture farming of the waters -


There is an ancient practice
that has been used in China
since about 2500 b.c. The
Hawaiian people have been
using it for more than 1,000
years. Many cultures have
used aquaculture, which is the
cultivation of aquatic organ-
isms, for centuries. The
Japanese, Romans. Europeans
and Canadians have all uti-
lized this practice for years
and continue to do so in
today's world. Americans
jumped on the bandwagon in
the 20th century with the har-
vesting of wild kelp. Today,
aquaculture is big business
worldwide. Interest in aqua-'
culture production is on the
rise for various reasons and
the practice is catching on in
a big way in the United
States.
Harvesting seafood in the
wild is becoming more chal-
lenging. Restrictions on wild
harvest of aquatic species
have caused many to look into
aquaculture. In addition, tech-
nology has come so far that
some species simply cannot


reproduce last
enough to keep up
with the harvesting
demands.
There are many
advantages to the
controlled conditions
of producing aquatic
plants and animals
in aquaculture. For
example, those
involved in aquacul-
ture can maintain a
steady supply of
products that they

offer. This controlled environ-
ment allows the species of
aquatic life to be more uni-
form in size, making pricing
more consistent. In addition,
these aquatic producers may
create ideal breeding condi-
tions, which allow increased
growth rates and enhanced
disease resistance. As with all
supply and demand, once the
product becomes more plenti-
ful, costs will decrease, mak-
ing seafood more affordable
to the consumer.
Of course, there are disad-
vantages as well. The intro-


duction of exotic or
non-native species is
prevalent. The pol-
lution or waste from
these aquaculture
sites can be problem-
atic. And new pro-
duction areas create
destruction of natural
habitat in many
cases.
Since aquaculture
is becoming so popu-
lar worldwide, the
United States


Department of Agriculture has
set up an Aquaculture
Program. Its mission is "to
conduct high quality, relevant,
basic and applied aquaculture
research and technology trans-
fer to create jobs and econom-
ic activity that will improve
the international competitive-
ness and sustainability of the
United States aquaculture, and
reduce dependence on import-
ed seafood and threatened
ocean fisheries."
' The research components of
the prograin include:
Genetic improvement


e Integrated aquatic animal
health management
Reproduction and early
development
Growth, development and
nutrition
Aquaculture production
systems
Sustainability and envi-
ronmental compatibility of
aquaculture
Quality, safety and vari-
ety of aquaculture products
for consumers.
There are many different
types of aquaculture.
Algaculture is the farming of
algae or seaweed. Fish farm-
ing is the raising of fish in
tanks or enclosures, generally
for food.
Freshwater prawn farming
is designed to raise and pro-
duce freshwater prawn or
shrimp for food. Mariculture
is the farming of marine
organisms and shrimp farming
is the cultivation of marine'
shrimp for human consump-
tion.
In addition, many tropical
species of aquatic life are col-

more than 1,000 years, but has only be done in America
since the 20th century.


elected for aquariums and pets.
So, we can see that aquacul-
ture is becoming big business.
According to the USDA
Economic Research Service,
during the past two decades,
the value of U.S. aquaculture
production rose to nearly $1
billion. The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric
Administration reports that
aquaculture is the fastest
growing form of food produc-
tion in the world.
So now we know more
about this fascinating practice.


It is comforting to know that
many agencies are researching
aquaculture and keeping up
with the latest technology.
Hopefully, aquaculture will be
part of the solution to produc-
ing more food for the world,
while maintaining the integri-
ty of our precious natural
resources.

Tesh, Travalena set to take the stage at SFCC soon


Special to the News-Sun ,
AVON PARK -
Entertainment legend John
Tesh will perform at South
Florida Community College's
Artist Series, at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 16, in the
SFCC Auditorium.
In an impressive career
spanning over 25 years, Tesh
is known worldwide as a lead-
ing and respected figure in the
entertainment and broadcast
industries. In 1996, after 10
years as co-host of
Entertainment Tonight, he
surprised many by leaving the
highly visible position to pur-
sue a career as a full-time
musician.
Throughout his career,
music and playing the piano
has been his passion. Three of
Tesh's albums resided on the
Billboard pop music charts,
and Power of Love was nomi-
nated for a 2003 Grammy for
Best Pop Instrumental Album.
With three gold albums and
a career that includes six
Emmys, two Grammy nomi-
nations, an Associated Press
Award for investigative jour-
nalism, a -Keyboard Magazine


Award, several number one
radio hits, five hit PBS spe-
cials, and two tours as an

Why hire a

real estate

attorney?

We've been hearing a
lot about the real estate
bubble here in Florida,
but the fact remains that
property is still one of the
best investments
around-especially in our
state.
Florida is still consid-
ered one of the hottest
real estate regions in the
country. with its relative
affordability and desirable
balance of current value
and growth potential.
Prospective homeown-
ers should, at the very
least, locate a good real
estate attorney. The earli-
er in the home-buying
process your attorney
becomes involved, the
more value he or she can
add to the final deal.
A good real estate
attorney protects clients
from potential problems
that can range from the
merely annoying to the
very costly work. Here's

Realtors benefit dance wrap-up


LAKE PLACID The Lake Placid
Board of Realtors recently sponsored an old-
fashioned Dance-a-thon at the Lake Placid
American Legion Post 25 to benefit two
local not-for-profit organizations: the
Humane Society of Highlands County and
the Lake Placid Miracle League.
The dance was held to benefit the Humane
Society of Highlands County, whose mission
is to provide shelter, medical care and adop-
tion services to lost, homeless and unwanted
companion animals; and the Lake Placid
Miracle- League, a newly organized youth


baseball league for physically and mentally
hindered youths who are paired with
'.'Buddies" who help the athletes take the
field and cope with the challenges of playing
the game.
Themed in the '60s and '70s, the 261
party-goers entered a long-ago past complete
with fiber-optic lamps, peace beads, 45 rpm
record decorations, disco ball, and hula
hoops. Many guests reached into the back of
their closets, or their parents', closet, and
looked as if they could have just stepped off

Selling your home in the winter


By PAMELA JESSIMAN
Century 21
In many parts of the coun-
try, selling a home during the
winter months can be a chal-
lenge. Dreary, cold weather
and the end-of-the-year holi-
days can keep buyers away
and heighten fears of your
home staying on the market
longer than expected.
However, there are a few
things you can do to enhance
"curb appeal." And when that
happens, buyers will :ake-
notice .?_
For e.niPle, if your one
has been on the market for
more' than six months, it's
probably time to change the
sales approach. There are sev-
eral factors that could be
reviewed with your real estate
agent to determine improve-
ments that can be made. Ask
for a reassessment of the sales
price; it may be too high for
the current market. Also, ask
the agent for a new or updated
marketing plan and ask for a
specific explanation of each
activity. Marketing your
home goes beyond a few ads
in the newspaper and a listing


on the Multiple Listing
Service (MLS); a good agent
will do more to get your home
sold.
If your current agent does-
n't respond to your satisfac-
tion, you should contact the
real estate broker (the owner
of the office) and ask for a
different sales agent or, if
you're no longer under any
contractual obligation to the
firm, it might be time to
change "real'.e estate offices,
entirel. -. -- ..
When- seitin-g the.'m4ng
price through a comparative
marketing analysis, compare
similar homes sold in the win-
ter months. Many owners set
their asking price too high
because of comparisons with
sales prices during peak sea-
sons. Always try to. compare
like properties sold at the
same time of year.
Once you've settled on an
asking price, it's time to
spruce up the interior and
exterior of your home. Many
real estate agents recommend
opening as many curtains as
possible to add light and color


to your rooms. Also, it's sug-
gested that you keep spring
and summer pictures of your
home out on tables and in
clear view. Photos of your
front yard flowers or the
backyard shade tree in full
summer bloom can help
swing many buyers in favor
of a purchase.
Staying on top of winter
maintenance and chores is
another sure-fire way of
adding value to your home. A-
'nfeatly shoveled driveway.andd
cleared walkway can add a
nice touch. Make sure the fur-
nace is in good working con-
dition and that the room tem-
perature is kept at a comfort-
able level. Also, check to see
that the-basement is dry and
sealed from any drafts.
Take yourself on a tour of
your home. Start in the base-
ment and work your way
through the house. More than
likely you'll see many previ-
ously undiscovered cluttered
spaces and needed repairs that
can turn off potential buyers.
Go to www.pamjessiman.com
for more informative articles.


As the nation's housing
slump depresses home sales
and prices, more owners look
for ways to increase their
homes' value and attract buy-
ers.
One of the best and most
popular is remodeling.
Owners who remodel often
know about high-value areas
such as the kitchen and bath-
room. But too many forget
another value-added secret -
use high-quality materials.
"Homeowners may initially
save money with cheaper
materials," says Richard
White, an architect who spe-
cializes in custom homes.
"But in the long run, they are
holding down the potential
value of their home."
The difference can be sig-
nificant, according to a study
by Harvard University's Joint
Center for Housing Studies.
In homes that increased in
value by at least 100 percent,
the study found, owners spent
2.5 times more in improve-
ments than in homes where
the value increased by less
than 50 percent.

Choose traditionally
popular materials
White recommends that
homeowners choose tradition-
ally popular materials to
maintain a home's appeal to a
wide range of buyers through
years of evolving fads.
"People trust building materi-
-the% know,'-f, jsay. "-II

preferred, quality material for
decking, siding, and the
,increasingly popular outdoor
living spaces that can enhance
a home's value, White says.
Natural preservatives in the
wood make it very durable for
outdoor uses, even in more
severe climates, according to
Web site realcedar.org. Its
texture and coloration give it
a rich, natural beauty that
enhances interiors as well, in
features such as interior pan-
eling, vaulted ceilings, trim
and boxed-in beams.
t
Improvements counter
downturn
Such improvements are just
one example of the ways
homeowners can counter the
prolonged housing slump.
Sales of previously owned
homes fell to a five-year low
by the end of summer, accord-
ing to the National
Association of Realtors.
Home prices dropped 3.9 per-
cent over the past year,
according, to the S&P/Case-
Shiller home-price index
measuring 20 U.S. cities. The
two surveys were released in
late September.
That means there are more
homes for sale, and they're
staying on the market longer.
Fueling the situation,
prospective buyers face high-
er costs and stiffer require-
ments to obtain loans. The
trend is projected to last into
7_i08 -and- pos'ibl 20(I9. .

Service.

Environmentally
friendly and other tips
Here are some additional
tips for remodelers to counter


the downturn, maximize their
home values, and attract buy-
ers:
Consider building with
materials that reduce a home's
impact on the environment, a
growing trend that appears to
be here to stay. Look at the
steps a product had to take to
reach your home. Synthetic
materials such as vinyl and
plastic are manufactured with
non renewable materials.
Minerals making up cement,
stucco and metal are mined
from the earth and not
replaced.
Woods such as pine, fir, and
Western red cedar are a
renewable resource, grown
and harvested sustainably.
The, environmental costs of
production are also much less
in wood products than miner-
al or synthetic materials.
Production of concrete
requires 70 percent more
energy than wood building
products and releases 67 per-
cent more pollution into the
air. "That lifecycle is much
less damaging to the environ-
ment," says Paul Mackie of
the Western Red Cedar
Lumber Association.
Additions must fit your
home to increase value. Avoid
any addition that would create
a sharp contrast to your
home's design.
Learn about different
building styles, says Eric
Schnell, design director at the
architecture firm Alan
MN t '5MS.tn Associates.

Clark thanks many who help with benefit dance


By CAROL HEAUSLER
Lake Placid Board of Realtors
Your passion leads you to
"do something" for the cause
in which you believe.
Sue Clark of C.S. Edwards
spearheaded a 'dance event on
Jan. 12 at the American
Legion Hall on U.S. 27, spon-
sored by the Lake Placid
Board of Realtors for the ben-
efit of both the Humane
Society and the Miracle
League baseball organization.
Sue and her crew (to whom


she sends a huge thank you,
couldn't have done it without
you) hosted a fun-filled
evening for more than 260
people, with many -of them
dressing in '50s era clothing
with hairstyles to match.
The event raised more than
$4,000, which will be split
between the two organiza-
tions.
This is just another exam-
ple of how your local
Realtors give back to the


community' they serve.
Through the coming months,
you will see more examples
of the tireless work of
Realtors for the people of
our towns. Remember that
we are still promoting the

WHY
Continued from 1

signature, including binder
agreements and sales con-
tracts drawn up by the sell-
er's attorney. Many real
estate agents today use stan-
dard contracts, and though
much of the language is fair-
ly straightforward, it's in the
buyer's best interest to have
an attorney explain the terms
of the contract before it is
signed. Your attorney's pri-
mary concern is that these
contracts contain provisions
and contingencies that bene-
fit and protect you. and will
negotiate any changes to that
end. He is also on the look-
out for language that favors
the seller or builder, and will
eliminate vague or unen-
forceable terms. Your attor-
ney can also draft an agree-
ment requiring money to be
put aside in case the parties
don't live up to their agree-
ments, protecting both the
buyer and the seller.
9 Make changes to generic
construction contracts. One
of the most common con-
sumer complaints pertains to
new home construction and
home-improvement work. If
you are having a home built
or are buying a brand-new
home from a builder/contrac-
tor, you have a unique set of
legal issues. Construction
contracts can vary in com-
plexity, but they're written
by builders' attorneys and are
always written to protect the
builder's interests. But buy-
ers can request amendments
to their contract. A typical
builder's contract says the
home will be built "substan-
tially" according to the
model's plans. But changes
can be made, for example, to
the home's layout or the type
of materials used and should


be included in the contract.
Your attorney will also
include language that spells
out consequences for builders
who do not fix problems
within a certain time frame,
usually 30 days from the ini-
tial walk-through.
Obtain a title search. A
thorough search of the prop-
erty's title must be completed
on all real estate transactions
to uncover any defects that
may preclude the buyer from
a marketable title. Issues can
include liens or other out-
standing judgments against
the property, such as back
taxes, lost or forged deeds,
claims of undisclosed heirs
or simple clerical errors.
Your attorney will evaluate
the status of the title and pur-
sue appropriate legal reme-
dies to clear any title defects.
He'll also advise you on
what your title insurance pol-
icy does and does not protect
against, emphasizing mar-
ketability of the title when
you sell. Many people con-
fuse title insurance with a
home warranty, but the two
are unrelated. If the title
company misses a lien, the
insurance is there to cover it.
Your attorney will also inter-
pret and counsel you about
all legal documents related to
the title and transaction.
including deeds, mortgages
and closing statements.
Prepare for.closing.
Once there is a mortgage
commitment, your attorney
will set a closing date with
the seller's attorney. Prior to
that date, he will prepare or
review the closing statement.
and discuss with you .any
contingencies that might
affect your interests. Most.
real estate attorneys also
encourage their clients to do
a final inspection of the
house to make sure it is in
the same condition as when
the sales contract was signed.


Your attorney will likely
review with you what to
expect during the closing, tell
you which certified checks to
bring to cover closing costs
and prepare a bill of sale to
cover any personal property
that you and the buyer agree
shall remain in the home.
Real estate attorneys are
key players to any real estate
transaction, and can be of
assistance long after the deal
closes. Refer to your attorney
for questions about property
taxes, the affect of a death or
divorce on homeownership or
specific property disputes.
One of the best ways to
find a good real estate lawyer
is word of mouth: Ask
friends and colleagues
whether they were satisfied
with the lawyer who handled
their closing. Real estate
agents or mortgage brokers
can also make excellent rec-
ommendations. Be sure to
ask whether the lawyer spe-
cializes in real estate; you
don't want a lawyer whose
primary work is litigation
and who only does a few
closings a year.

Region 2-1A High School Wrestling Tournament



Spiegel, Bland, Hatten qualify for State


By AMY HART
News-Sun correspondent
AVON PARK Three
Highlands wrestlers will con-
tinue to the 1A state wrestling
meet after this weekend's
Region 2-IA meet, hosted by
Sebring High at the Panther
Gym of SFCC.
To advance, a wrestler must
place in the top four in his
weight class.
Last year. each team had a
wrestler take third ,at state,
Tim Mikula at 189 pounds for
Sebring and Josue Ortiz at
215 pounds for Avon Park.
This year, the three qualify-
ing wrestlers all have hopes of
following in their respective
teammates' footsteps.
Sebring's lone state qualifi-
er is Shaanan Spiegel in the
152-pound weight class.
Blue Steak Andrew Crump,
at 215 pounds, went 2-0
Friday to get to the semi-
finals, but lost his next two
matches to just miss out.
Spiegel pinned Jimmy
Huang from North Coast in
3:02 and Gage Mullins from
Space Coast in 3:48 in his
preliminary rounds. Kevin
Drawdy (Crystal River)
proved to be a bit more of a
challenge in semi-finals, but


Spiegel came out on top with
a 11-8 win.
Two Red Devils will
accompany Spiegel to the
state meet.
James Bland will compete
in the 160-pound weight
class.
Bland's preliminary rounds
also went well, with a techni-
cal pin over Corey Foy
(Cocoa Beach) and a pin over
Kyle Johnson (Lake Highland
Prep) in 3:32.
Bland had to go all six min-
utes in semi-finals to finish
with a 8-3' decision over
Mitch Taulbee (Taylor
Pierson).
Kemosi Hatten will also
represent the Red Devils at
state, in the 171-pound weight
class.
Hatten pinned Joseph
Atwell (Pasco) in 1:38 and
beat Joe Conway of Citrus 8-1
to get to semi-finals.
After a loss to Devinlee
Brown (Hudson) in semi-
finals, Hatten came back with
a 13-3 major decision over
Carlos Londono (Space ,
Coast).
Just missing a trip to state
for Avon Park was Charles
Hubbard, 145 pounds, going
3-2 for the weekend.

Though his headgear is a tad askew, Shaanan Spiegel had just a little trouble advancing to state for the third straight year at
the 2-1A wrestling regionals. Also advancing to the state meet in Lakeland were Avon Park's James 'Gator' Bland, making it
his third trip as well, and Kemosi Hatten.


Spiegel and Bland compet-
ed in the championship finals
for first place, while Hatten


competed in the consolation
finals for third place.
The results of these finals


matches were not available at each has assured their spot at
press time, but by advancing

And Another
Thing...
Dan Hoehne


Daring to


Believe

A sign hangs on the wall
of a simple gym, "Daring to
Believe."
As what some might call a
dreadful season wrapped up'
Monday for the Heartland
Christian Crusaders with a
loss in their district tourna-
ment, one might think that
motto was lost.
"We're a single A school,"
the school's headmaster,
Dave Kaser said. "But even
among the smaller schools,
we're one of the five to ten
smallest in the state. We are
the David hoping to defeat
the Goliath."
And with the size of the
school posing the problem of
options, the Heartland roster
is littered with all ages,
including two seventh
graders, two eighth graders,
two freshmen, two sopho-
mores and one junior to go
along with the core of three
seniors.
The hodgepodge of a line-
up makes things tough to
garner wins.
That didn't happen but for
one time this season, but
you'd never know it by the
eager and proud demeanors
among the Crusader players.
"It has it's moments," sen-
ior Theo Watts said. "But
practice makes perfect and
we keep giving it our all.
Besides, we're having fun
and hanging out with
friendss"
Junior Tim Mee, a 6'4"
second-year player admits
the hard part.
"It's tough when you're
everyone's homecoming
team for them to walk all
over," he said. "But giving

AVON PARK The bad
news is that the Sebring
dropped one, 6-0, to the bats
of the Pasco Pirates in the
First Pitch Classic


Tournament in Avon
Park Friday night.
But the good news
is, given that the regu-
lar season doesn't
begin until Monday,
the loss does not count
towards the Blue
Streaks' upcoming sea-
son record.

Adam Simmons pitched well, but the Pasco bats awoke
late for a 6-0 win at the First Pitch Classic Tournament
in Avon Park.


Pas

(


Pasco made it to the region-
al finals last year before being
eliminated in the race for
state, mostly on their hitting
skills, and they showed they
still had the bats when they
converted six of their eight
hits into runs.
The Streaks spent the entire
night trying to convert a


goose egg into a score, com-
ing close on several occasions
with four hits, but were not
able to bring the runners
home.
Sebring's pitching staff
struggled, but it was the top
of the fifth before head
;co coach Hoppy Rewis
S had to make trip to the
mound to replace start-
ing pitcher Adan
ring Simmons.
Simmons would
hold Pasco to just one
hit before the top of
the fourth, where he
gave up three and a run from a
wild pitch.
The Pirates would score
again off Simmons in the
fifth, starting a rally that only
fresh Sebring pitcher Pete
Guerro could stop.
By the time Sebring took
their turn at bat in the bottom


of the fifth, the Pirates would
hold a 6-0 lead.
The Pirates would snag
three more base hits, before
Guerro retired them in the top
of the sixth.
Tony Vazquez would then
take over the pitching duties
and hold Pasco to just one
more base hit.
The Streaks were able to
hold the Pirates scoreless
from there'on out, but were
not able to score off the three
.additional hits and baserun-
ners they had before the game
ended.
The First Pitch Tournament
continued today,, with Avon
Park getting their chance to
face-off against Pasco, but the
final scores were not avail-
able at press time.

sun.com for the continued
coverage of the tournament.

There are lessons to be learned in losing


Losing hurts. It hurts when
a big part of you knows it is
coming. It hurts when it takes
you by surprise. It hurts even
when you know you did your
best.
I watched it as a parent last
week.
My daughter plays on the
girls' basketball team at
Walker Memorial Academy.
Her team went into the dis-
trict tournament with high
hopes. They had earned the
number two seed out of four
teams. They were matched up
with the number three seed,
Victory Christian of
Lakeland.
It was a team Walker had
beaten-twice during the regu-
lar season.
So my daughter and her
teammates were thinking that
this could be the year they
would make it to the district
championship game.
You often hear that it is


From the
Front Row
John Bedell


tough to beat a team three
times in one season and it
sure turned out to be true that
night.
Our girls came out slow
and Victory came out
inspired.
Victory players looked
confident.
Victory players that had
been timid in the regular sea-
son now looked bold our
Walker girls looked rattled.


At the end, Victory bested
Walker and moved on to the
championship game.
Our girls retreated to the
dressing room and stayed and
stayed.
They finally emerged and
there were still teary eyes on
many of the faces. The sen-
iors knew they had played
their last high school game.
Younger teammates like
my tenth grade daughter were
already thinking about how
much they would miss those
seniors next year.
Someone said history
repeats itself because we
weren't listening the first
time.
Lots of the members of our
boys' team were at that girls'
game, but they must not have
been listening, as this past
Monday seemed like d6jai vu
- our boys faced Victory
Christian.
We were the number four


seed out of eight teams and
they were number five and
we had beaten them twice in
the regular season.
Walker came out strong
and took a lead in the first
quarter, but Victory's defense
stiffened and Walker's weak-
ened.
After that first quarter,
Walker was simply outplayed
and Victory won the game
easily.
Senior boys are different
than senior girls.
I didn't see any tears from
the boys but I sure saw some
hurt look on those faces.
The finality of it hits
home, your season is over
and your opponents will keep
on playing.


I once read an NBA coach
say "There is power in los-
ing."
He went on to argue that
losing taught his players to
be more "coachable" and it
also helped fire up their
desire.
It helped to create a work
ethic that would lead to
future success.
Novelist Pat Conroy wrote
about his'senior season as a
point guard for The Citadel
in "My Losing Season."
Conroy was an under-sized
and under-talented guard for
a less-than successful team.
Yet he threw himself into
the challenge and played his
heart out.
On the last page of his


book, he wrote "It was the
year I learned to accept loss
as part of the natural law. My
team taught me there could
be courage and dignity and
humanity in loss. They taught
me how to pull myself up, to
hold my head high, and to
soldier on."
It would be tough to find a
more valuable lesson.
So for all the Highlands
County basketball players
that are going to leave the
district tournaments with a
loss, keep your head up.
Embrace your next big
challenge with the same
enthusiasm and joy.
Thanks for giving it your
all.

Blowouts, nail-biters seen in Sebring Seniors League


The News-Sun www.newssun.com


Special to the News-Suno
SEBRING There's an old
adage that "on any given day,
any team can beat another
team."
That was proven true in
Thursday action of the
Sebring Senior Softball
League with the Silent
Salesman team downing the
previously unbeaten Royal
Palms, 15-9, before a loud
and cheering audience.
The Salesmen had a 9-6
lead in the fifth before Royal
Palm rallied to tie it.
But a four run-rebound in
the sixth pushed the lead that
the Salesmen wouldn't relin-
quish.
It truly was a team effort
for the Silent ones as 11 bat-
ters had at least two hits and
nine scored at least once.
Leo Lypps pitched a superb
game against the Palms, keep-
ing his poise as he pitched out
of a bases-loaded situation in
the last inning.
On the offense, Mike
Jurmu, Fred Moore and
Richard Godfrey each went
three-for-four and Harley
Smith, Syd Collins and glenn
Wearsh each had a double.
For Royal Palm, Joe Healy
and Bob Fox each went yard
and Ross Anderson and Tom
Gaiownik both went three-
for-four.
Highlands Independent
Bank Avon Park and the
Klingons had a back-and-
forth contest, with the Bank
taking a 17-13 final.
With the Klingons leading
12-5 in the sixth, the Bank
scored eight times and tallied
four more in the seventh to
seal the win.
Bob Brooks, Pierre
Boissonneault and Carl
Puffenberger each had three
hits for the Bank, while the


team's defense turned three
double plays.
For the Klingons, Dick
Schiltz, Bob Wilson and Jim
Maynard lead the way with
three hits each.
Reflections did a lot more
hitting than reflecting in its'
24-8 win over the Rebels.
The Rebels had some
standout hitters as Stan Turl,
Fred Boyd and Diz Jones each
went four-for-four, J im
Strietzel had three hits includ-
ing a double and triple.
Jim Munroe made an
impact in his season debut for
the Rebels, going two-for-
three with a triple.
The Reflection's effort was
lead by Kyle Saunders with a
triple and two home runs and
Bill Yeager with five hits,
including a double and home
run.
Adding to the offensive
outburst were Ron Lewis, Cal
Bready, Gary Vanthournout,
Bill Hynzy and Wayne Hill
wh.o each went four-for-five.
Another lopsided game
went to Discount Aluminum
in a 22-8 win over Highlands
Independent Bank Sebring.
Every player on the
Discount roster scored at least
one run, with James Gilbert
having three hits and a homer
and Jim Larnard totaling three
RBI.
In Tuesday's action, the
Klingon -team found itself in
an identical situation as two
weeks ago with a 13-12 final
score.
This week, however, it was
in a nine-inning battle with
Reflections.
Both teams executed good
fielding throughout the game,
while offensively the
Klingon's biggest feat was
Jim Maynard blasting his


third home run in four days.
Larry Ambuel helped his
teams fortunes by tallying
four hits, while Reflections'
Brian Pluto went four-for-
five.
Pluto's last hit got him on
base in the ninth before Ron.
Lewis brought him in with a
triple for the winning run.
Other offensive standouts
were John Kloet who had a
triple among his three hits,
Joe Hynzy going four-for-five
and Wayne Hill and Gary
Vanthournout each going
. three-for-four.
Silent Salesman and
Discount Aluminum had
another close contest, with the
Salesman team holding on for
a 13-9 win.
They lead 9-4 after six
innings, but a five-run surge
by Aluminum tied things up.
Salesman bounced back
with four in the seventh and
kept Aluminum from crossing
the plate anymore for the win.
Helping to preserve the win
were strong hitters Don
Cunningham, Victor
Rodriguez and Jerry
Johnston.
Standing out for Dicount
were Tom Walsh with a home
run, Rudy Pibble with a dou-
ble, triple and two RBI, and
Bill Todd and Jim Hensley
both getting three hits and
three RBI.
What looked like another
tight-knit affair was seen
when Highlands Independent
Bank Sebring held a 12-11
lead over the Rebels after five
innings.
But the Rebels did some
foreclosing on the Bank with
five runs in both the six and
seventh innings, and a ten-
spot in the eighth for a 31-15
final.


12-Hour Advance Ticket



Deadline Feb. 15th


Ray Concepcion and Norm
Papineau both went four-for-
five for the Bank, but there
were plenty of sluggers for
the Rebels.
Jim Strietzel bellied a grand
slam in the ten-run eighth,
Stan Turl and Tony Caristo
each ripped a double and
triple while Jerry Mattis, Fred
Boyd and Tom 'Moose'
Moorissette each went four-
for-five.
The Rebel pitchers also got
in on the hit parade as Rollie
Carlson had four hits and Bill
Skonierczny had three, to go
with his three strikeouts on
the mound.
Royal Palms had their own
blow-out by slamming
Highlands Independent Bank
Avon Park, 25-4.
The Bank kept a positive
attitude throughout and has
high hopes with the likes of
Eddie Carrol, Charley
Williams and Shaun Kilduff,
who each went two-for-three
at the plate.
The slugfest for the Palms
was lead by Bob Weiss who
had a double and two home
runs for three RBI.
Tom Gaiownik had four
RBI on a double and home
run, Bob Floodine and Joe
Healy also added home runs
with Healy also netting four
RBI and Charlie Quinn had
three triples among his four
hits.

top, 20-12, while Buttonwood remained undefeated by best-

up is not an option we have
to keep pushing. And I enjoy
it, especially the home games
when we always have a brig
crowd really supporting us."
That kind of attitude
showed as the team progres-
sively improved as the sea-
son went on.
The results may not differ
in the won-loss column, but
they see it in their play and
from the words of others.
"The refs at our games
keep telling us how much
we're improving," Watts
said.
Tom Bohan, a 6' 1" fresh-
man concurred and his face
lit up while saying, "Games

the season, we're now losing
by like 15 now."
And in the teams' last reg-
ular season home game, the
Crusaders made a startling
comeback on the hot three-
point shooting of senior
Kalab Cord, the teams lead-
ing scorer.

Eagles of Lake Wales to
overtime before coming up

Brimming with confidence
and excitement the next day


at practice, the players were
certainly daring to believe -
declaring their mission for
the following week's game
against the top district team
in the tournament, to win.
The season ended in a way,
however, that further seemed
to test the believing credo -
but showed how much it is
held to heart.
The teams bus broke down
in Haines City on the way to
the tournament game, though

take the starters to the game

wrong site.
A second car took the
reserves, predominantly the
younger players, to what

starters to arrive, the young
Crusaders took the floor
against astonishing odds.
It was 45-1 at halftime.
The seniors finally arrived
in the third quarter and fin-
ished out the eventual 75-13
contest.

officials told me that the
whole gym was cheering for
our guys," Kaser said. "They
were apalled by what'the
other team was doing, pour-
ing, it on. They said our kids

of class."
And that, in the end, is the
most important lesson
learned the standard of
character, the mettle to push
through all odds.
