.f SEBRING With the height of flu season
upon us, the Centers for Disease Control and
i Prevention released some bad news Friday: this
year's vaccine doesn't offer protection from the
2,1. majority of the spreading influenza viruses.
/ percent of the circulating viruses, according to
!44 Friday's report. In contrast, last week's report said
/ the vaccine covered about 50 percent of the circulat-
'30 ing virus strains, and in good years the vaccine can
0 i covet somewhere between 70 to 90 percent.
13S "They're basically saying the vaccine they put togeth-
/ er isn't matching the strains they're seeing," said Kay
4R l,.llenkopf, public information officer and director
of nursing at the Highlands County Health
,- Department.
The strains that are covered by the vaccine
are determined in advance by the CDC and the
World Health Organization, and the vaccine
takes at least six months to prepare. A team of
\eperts attempts to predict which strains will circu-
late di ing the season, and they develop the appropriate
\.ccinition formula using two strains from the TypeA fam-
ily >Iy ilic influenza virus and one strain from the Type B
"Tlheie estimate what they think is going to be the preva-
lent kind of flu virus," Mollenkopf said. "Some years are
right on, others aren't."
Thi. ,c war's problems rest mostly with the Type B portion
of the vaccine, which isn't turning out to be a good match
lor the most common flu viruses. Also, one of the two Type
A components is also not matching the common strain cir-
culating around.

Taped beating leads to theft arrest


By TREY CIRISTY
/teyT.ch('i. v r'ly (ellw',S.'n .c(om
LAKE PLACID A teenage girl allegedly
starred in a home-made movie featuring a girl
in the fetal position being beaten by another
girl.
Jennifer Chambers, 17, of Lake Placid, was
charged with battery for Wednesday evening's
incident, a misdemeanor.
"The video evidence depicts Chambers
punching and slapping (the victim) repeatedly
while (the victim) assumes the fetal position,"
Officer Phillip Cloninger Jr. wrote in the
report.
After beating the victim, Chambers alleged-
ly went into the victim's vehicle and stole her
purse.
Reports suggested this was in response to an


Chambers


incident between the two that
happened the previous day.
According to the victim, the
purse is worth $400 and con-
tained a matching wallet val-
ued at $200. The combined
amount was enough to charge
Chambers with grand theft of
less than $5,000, a third-degree


felony.
The incident was captured on three digital
video files by a witness. Chambers was indi-
cated by the witness to be the attacker,
Cloninger said. The videos were copied to
compact disc and put into evidence at the
Highlands County Sheriff's Office.
Chambers was arrested and transported to
the Department of Juvenile Justice in Bartow.

large map mounted on the wall of their classroom. Miles traveled 133,000!


Second-graders display world


travels at Woodlawn Elementary


By ELIZABETH WALKER
News-Sun correspondent
SEBRING Excitement
and anticipation ruled recent-
ly as more than six classes of
second-, third- and fourth-
graders filed into the second-
grade classroom supervised
by Candice Dickens at
Woodlawn Elementary
School.
The orderly conduct and
display of sincere interest of
student hosts and their visi-
tors would make parents and
teachers proud of their wards.
Dickens' second-graders
sat beside their own exhibit,
while life-sized "Flat
Stanleys" hung above them.
They eagerly answered ques-
tions and explained the trav-
els of their own Flat Stanleys.
This shared finale is the
result of a three-month proj-
ect aftei.Dickens' class read
the chapter book of "Flat
Stanley," by Jeff Brown.
The story is that when
Stanley Lambchop wakes up
one morning his brother,
Arthur is yelling. A bulletin
board fell on Stanley during
the night, and now he is only
half an inch thick!
Amazing things begin to
happen to him. Stanley gets
rolled up, mailed, and even
flown like a kite. He gets to
help catch two dangerous art
thieves. He may be flat, but
he's a hero and travels to
exciting places!
Dickens explained' to the
students, that "we can't travel
around the world like Flat
Stanley did, but we can send a
friend."
So each of Dickens' stu-

with photos and pamphlets.


dents colored, folded and
inserted Flat Stanleys into
two envelopes, stamped and
addressed by their parents.
Each student would send one
letter out of the United States
and the other to someone
stateside. They included a let-
ter they wrote to each
addressee requesting that they
please take Flat Stanley with
them on trips, write about the
trip, then send photographs,
notes and/or souvenirs back
to them and sign their name
on Stanley's back.
The response was thrilling
for the students. Souvenirs,
folders, brochures, photo-
graphs and letters were gra-
ciously returned to the stu-
dents from as far away as
Japan, Korea, Italy, the
Philippines, Greece and the
Island of Bakain off the coast
of Saudi Arabia. One Flat


Stanley even attended a Gator
football game in Gainesville.
One student wrote to a
Marine in Japan and he came
to visit their class.
All together the Flat
Stanleys traveled more than
133,000 miles!
Dickens reported that all
class subjects were involved
in the project: reading, math,
spelling, letter writing, map-
ping, social studies, keeping a
journal for five days, postal
activity, story telling via pic-
tures and explaining their
project to others. As each
group filed in Dickens
patiently explained the story
of Flat Stanley and the pur-
pose of the exhibit-.
Dickens has taught school
at Woodlawn for three years
and elsewhere in Highlands
County for another three
years.

Commissioner Eric J. Smith

Throwing out the


baby with the


irrigation water

The news coming out of Florida's public universi-
ties is deeply troubling.
For example, the University of South Florida is
having to turn away students and the University of
Florida is increasing class sizes all due to shrink-
ing funding.
In another cost cutting move, UF is seriously con-
sidering drastically cutting its Institute of Fbod and
Agriculture Sciences, and doing away with extension
offices altogether.
We find these so called cost savings a ruse at best;
a long term disaster at worst.
Extension offices are actually centers of continuing
education, their staff called a faculty.
Located at the Agri-Civic Center, the local exten-
sion office runs the 4-H and Master Gardner programs
for children and homeowners, and provides special-
ists in citrus, beef cattle and ornamental horticulture
for producers.
For example, Lindsay Fielder, the local livestock
agent, is tasked with not only finding answers to
problems, or training workers in the care and feeding
of cattle, but with canvassing local ranchers to find
out what their concerns and needs are, so they can be
addressed.
This kind of research is invaluable in discovering
problems and trends early.
Shutting down such a resource is a shortsighted
response. One for which we will pay dearly down the
line as we begin to fall behind other states and nations
for a lack of cutting edge knowledge.
If the state of Florida really cannot afford to edu-
cate its population, our future looks grim indeed.
We urge people, in agriculture and out, to contact
our state representatives and senator to protest such a
move.

Aargh me maties, is that



Tuffley singing and dancing?


An update on being in the
chorus of the musical come-
dy "Pirates of Penzance" at
Highlands Little Theatre:
Here's the good news -
I haven't fallen off the stage
yet, or stabbed myself (or
anyone else) with my
sword, or been kicked out of
the chorus for singing off
key.
While I still can't get
straight to any particular
musical note, we have been
rehearsing so much five
days a week that I am
beginning to memorize the
sounds 1 should make.
Luckily, I have a deep
voice.
This is a very good thing,
because we second basses
are the tubas or bass fiddles
of the voice world. That
means I usually only have to
hit two or three notes down
in the basement, providing a
pleasing, rumbling founda-
tion while the melody is
someone else's responsibili-
ty.
The sopranos soar, we
basses plod al-ong. But put
us together and you have an
interesting sound.
Add altos, two tenor lines
and baritones into the bar-
gain, and the sound goes
from interesting to sublime.
The music is coming
together so well that we
sometimes just have to take
a minute to applaud our-
selves and each other.
At the same time we
have turned our attention to
the dancing part of the
show.
Keep iri mind, some of


Tuff Stuff
Christopher Tuffley


our dancing is done with
swords, and most is closer
to acrobatics than waltzing.
For example, take the
sword play. At one point I'
join four other pirates in a
mock attack on well, to
find out on whom you'll
have to see the show but
we attack.
Now my fellow pirate
actors in this move are all
still in high school. That
means they are thin, limber
and quick. With great flexi-
bility, style and verve, they
all do backward somersaults
easily.
1, on the other hand, am
old enough to be their
grandfather, and thrilled to
discover I can still touch my
toes.
But the young men made
the moves look so easy that
in a moment of la-la land
foolishness I got carried
away and tried to do the
same thing too, even though
that wasn't a part of the
plan.
I ripped my pants,
skinned my knee, never
managed the back roll and
had to lean on my sword
just to get up.
That kind of silliness,


however, fits right into the
show, which is a delightful,
nonsensical comedy with
only the barest of plots.
Gilbert and Sullivan -
Gilbert wrote the lyrics,
Sullivan the music were
the Rogers and
Hammerstein of the
Victorian era. I mean that in
the sense of popularity, as
Sullivan's music is richer
and Gilbert's lyrics far more
satiric.
Gilbert was famous for
tweaking the powerful, vain,
greedy and stupid.
What plot there is
revolves around a band of
incompetent pirates who
feel sorry for orphans, love
poetry and want to marry a
bevy of beautiful maidens
they come across on the
beach.
Add a reluctant pirate
hero who was born on a
leap year and discovers that
while he might be 21 years
old in years, he is only five
counting by birthdays. This
totally disrupts his plans,
but again you'll have to
come to the show to see
how.
Our Sunday rehearsal will
be held at the Lakeshore
Mall starting at 2 p.m.
Take the time to stop by.
Once you get an earful of
the wonderful sounds, you'll
want to see the complete
show in, of course, living
color.

writer for the News-Sun.

Creationism, evolution
should both be taught
Editor:
This concerns the controversy
over teaching Intelligent Design and
the Theory of Evolution in schools.
Somehow many school boards take
the position that evolution is accept-
ed scientific fact and Intelligent
Design falls into the category of
church and state separation. Neither
can be further from the truth. The
U.S. Constitution prohibits the
establishment of a State Church. We
are free to teach what certain reli-
gions believe.
More than 90 percent of the civi-
lized world believe in creationism,
only a minority, not the majority,
believe in evolution. Since DNA
testing shows no common ancestral
link to other animals and fossil
remains give no indication of evolu-
tionary transition the Theory of
Evolution grows more questionable.
Remember, there was a time when
scientific fact professed the earth to
be flat. Today, the majority of
Americans (90%) now discredit the
evolution theory and that majority is
growing.
I personally think both
Creationism and the Theory of
Evolution should be acknowledged
in public schools. But the issue is
immaterial when we consider how
poor American students measure up
against other countries on world
tests. Our students are near the bot-


tom in math and science which is an
ominous revelation and does not
bode well for their future. A few of
us will, however, be comforted it
they are only taught the Theory of
Evolution and not Intelligent Design.

Melvin understands
code problems
Editor:
Please put Ken Melvin on the
agenda to speak to the city council
on my behalf. We'could use some
help from the city to forgive our
debt to the city for the remaining
balance of the late penalties for the
rental lot property in back of my
business. My son will try to appear
also.
I felt like I was treated like I had
to come before the council with my
hat in hand begging for considera-
tion of fairness in this matter, so I
find it beneath my dignity to do so
again.
Even though we have insurance it
will be a long time before we will
receive any funds. We have had to
spend everything we have made to
get back into operation again.
Many friends and customers have


helped us to get going again, it
would be appreciated if the city of
Sebring could be so kind to join the
rest of the community and come to
our aid.
Ken Wacaster
Sebring,

It's our money
Editor:
. I'm getting very irritated when the
first thing elected city officials or
government officials say is we can't
reduce taxes because we'll have to
reduce services. They need to look at
organizational structures, tasks aind
responsibilities and see how' they can
adjust. It's the citizens' money not
theirs.
I am totally disgusted with the
sheriff department when they took
extra money and divided it up for
bonuses, this was ridiculous. I can't
believe we have lawyers and public
relations people assigned to depart-
ments. I also can't believe we are
hiring more people to manage coun-
ty department heads; we already

ties are doing, but to base salaries on
other counties is a bad practice. We
also have to look at the economy of
our county. You don't have to pay
higher salaries than before just to get
qualified people.
I thought county heads were
responsible for day-to-day opera-
tions, why do we have to add anoth-
er layer of bureaucracy? I don't look
at the school district that much, but
I'm hoping the school board is
reviewing structures to ensure we
manage cost savings.
I know for a fact that technology
reduces administrative staffing; I
would also question some manager
positions and sometimes we get car-
ried away. Some ways that savings
can happen is with central dispatch,
county-wide fire services, review of
police department tasks and there are
many other ways. Cities should keep
police departments, but for detective
support, etc., then an inter-local
agreement with the sheriff's depart-
ment should be used.
I thought it interesting that I just
saw an article about a two-person
police department in a city of 5,000
to 6,000 citizens. I'm not saying we
should institute a drastic reduction,
it also depends on the crime rates,
but it does warrant review.
Let's make sure we get back to the
basics. Fee for some services is a
good concept, especially for building
department or the like.

Writers' strike

and Oscars:

Do I care?

The news that the writers'
strike in Hollywood was finally
over was a welcome change
from the rest of the news, espe-
cially the political stuff. This
column will not be about poli-
tics, a change from the past two
weeks that I'm sure you will
welcome.
I had kept an eye on the
strike. Not because I'm suffer-
ing withdrawal on the few TV
shows I follow, but because as a
writer anything doing with
rights to your work gets my
attention. The writers wanted to
make sure in these days of
Internet downloads they were
getting a fair shake. I get that.
But if they were depending on
me to raise a hue and cry to the
studios to get them back to work
because I HAD to have new
episodes of my special shows,
well, sorry, they failed in that
department.
Most of the time I didn't
think about the writers' strike.
OK, I wasn't happy when I was
told one of my shows, "Bones,"
wouldn't have new episodes
until April, but I just got the
Season 2 DVDs and they can fill
in for now.
But when I was flipping chan-
nels on the TV, often discover-
ing that even with over 50 chan-
nels there was nothing worth
watching, I did not think to
blame the writers' strike.
Because let's be honest -
even when they were hard at
work I could find myself flip-
ping through the channels and
find nothing worth watching.
This isn't a "TV is evil and
bad" rant. If anything. it's a "TV
has become mediocre" whine. It
just doesn't seem to be as enter-
"taining as it once was. I don't
know why this has happened -
perhaps when so many people
began to ingest large amounts of
"Survivor" and "American Idol"
(two shows 1 never got into) that
quality control took a nosedive.
If I were not a writer, the
Hollywood guys could still be
striking for all I care. The TV
offerings just aren't worth the
emotion.
Same goes for the Oscars. I
checked the list of nominees
again this year, and when it
came to the Best Picture nomi-
nations, my reaction was,
"Huh?" I have not seen ONE of
the pictures nominated and
this isn't the first year that's
happened.
Since I haven't seen the pic-,
tures,, I don't really care who
wins. And while I recognize the
names of some of the actors and
actresses up for awards, it's not
enough for me to tune in and
spend several hours of my life
watching.
I think the last Oscars show I
really cared about was the year
"The Lord of the Rings: The
Return of the King" swept
through. But I loved that trilogy
and thought the Oscars were a
well-deserved send-off for them.
But more often then not, "popu-
lar" and "Oscar" are mutually
exclusive categories. And I have
learned that a film that has won
an Oscar can still be a bad film.
On the other hand, a film
panned by the critics and virtu-
ally ignored by the Oscars can
be one I enjoy. "Enchanted"
comes to mind as one of those
films (and I notice that in the
"Original Song" category three
of the five nominees are from
the movie).
No, it wasn't a deep, compli-
cated, artsy film. It advanced no
agenda, took no brave stands. It
was sweet and funny and a

She has completed 35 builds
in 10 states and with her hus-

Highlands Independent Bank, represented by
CEO John Shoop, won the coveted Business of
the Year Award, while Bob and Natalie

the Year. Megan Klootwyk was honored as the
Volunteer of the Year, while Kim Heintz was
named Director of the Year.
Stephens was also'recognized with a plaque

Mike Carter, Janice Roberts and Barbara

Among those goals were continuing the
growth at the chamber's new Welcome Center
on U.S. 27. which has seen a six-fold increase
in visitors since opening in April. The cham-
ber's new downtown satellite office is also
reopening, and it will include public restrooms
that will be utilized during special events

Other goals for 2008 include growing the

Although this year's vac-
cine hasn't proved completely
effective, recent history has
been good for the CDC, with
a match happening in 16 of
the last 19 flu seasons,
according to Dr. Joe Bresee,
the CDC's chief of Influenza
Epidemiology. February is
usually the high point of the
flu season, and despite the
lack of success with this
year's flu virus, the number of
infected citizens this year
aren't considered alarming by
the CDC, Bresee added.
Despite high nationwide
numbers, the local numbers

Academics Rising Together
(IHAART) program for gifted
and high achieving students
has expanded each year with
the children as they moved to
the next grade level.
Current offerings have
expanded to eighth grade, but
there is a gap at the high
school level for these stu-
dents.
"There are some high level
classes in high school but
there are students that can do
more and they will have this
opportunity," Juve said. "This
program is well established,
reputable ... we won't have to
reinvent the wheel, both IB

rigor of college."
One of the biggest talking
points for opponents of the
program is a hefty $14,000 in

ing teacher training, yearly
school or exam fees.

are somewhat significant,"

"It's very preliminary," he
said. "We're just exploring."
Tharp is "keeping his eyes
open" for possible Sebring
locations for the popular buf-
fet chain, but there are ongo-
ing difficulties in finding
affordable real estate.
"Commercial real estate

right now, we're not having
that high of a ratio' in the
county."

Flu shot still
recommended
Even though the success
rate of the vaccine is low, the
CDC report still recommends
that people receive flu shots,
because they will still offer
some immunity for the dis-
ease.
"The CDC said even
though (the vaccine) might
not address the strains, it still
gives you some immunity,"
Mollenkopf said. Getting
yearly flu shots also builds up
"residual immunity," she
added, which provide the
body with additional defenses
over time.
"Even though it's not as
effective, it's still a very good


senior, said in the press
release. "AP courses have
allowed me to earn approxi-
mately 30 credit hours
towards my college educa-
tion, providing me with a
bright future and the promise
of success."
Monetary benefits don't
end with the student they
also have an impact with the
school district itself.
According to Mike Averyt,
who has dealt with the local
district's budget for a number
of years, the program not only
pays for itself but generates
money for the district.
"They pay for the cost of
AP classes and teacher bonus-
es," he said about money gen-
erated by students passing AP
exams.
"Then (the program) allo-


idea to get that flu shot."

Health Department is still

appointments can be made

which are Monday through
Friday from 8 a.m. until 5

Department will bill Medicare

Hancock is the only board
member on the steering com-
mittee.
"Funding from the state
picks up gradually as students
pass IB tests, but that is usual-
ly, the best I can tell, in years
three or four," Hancock said,
describing state funded
bonuses for advanced student
achievement similar to that of
Advanced Placement classes.
Juve agrees the costs aren't
small, but said Members of
the community have come
forward to raise money to
cover the initial costs.
"There are some doctors
sending their students up to
(Bartow's IB school) and oth-
ers that would do the same,"
she said. "A lot of them have
students in the HAART pro-
gram and this is the natural
next step for them to get more
of a challenge (locally)."
Even if the program is
approved when voted on by
the school board at the month-
ly meeting Feb. 26, the appli-
cation process takes time.
"Our first class would be
the class of 2012 to graduate
with an IB diploma,"
Hancock said.
Due to the lengthy applica-


tion process, Juve and the
donor doctors want the
board's approval now.
"The district will let us
know what the funding needs
are and we will raise the
funds," Juve said. "I think this
is why the program is able to
move forward in such a tight
(budget) year, because the
community is willing to back
it."
Interest from the communi-
ty has played an integral part
in advancing the program,
Juve said, which has only sur-
faced this year.
Interested parents are high-
ly encouraged to attend
Tuesday's meeting to get the
whole concept.
Juve sends out periodic e-
mails to parents of advanced
students though the group
Highlands Advanced
Academics Parent Network
( ww .highlandsparent
network.com) and has found it
difficult, even with months of
research, to fully describe the
program in writing.
"It's hard to explain all the
details to parents," she said.
"They have been very excited
once they learn more about
it."

MidFlorida's

branch open
Special to the News-Sun
LAKE PLACID -
"MidFlorida Federal Credit
Union has continued its
spread across central Florida
with the opening of its Lake

tion in Highlands County.
The new MidFlorida' branch,
6 N. Main Ave., opened Feb.
4. The 3,000-square-foot
office will offer Saturday
hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. drive-
thru service in its two drive-
thru lanes, a drive-up ATM,
three interior teller windows
and three lobby offices. This
historic 1930's building, orig-
inally a restaurant, boasts a
working fireplace and its
original windows and plaster
ceilings.
"Our new Lake Placid
branch has been a long-await-
ed venture," Kevin Jones,
president and chief executive
officer of MidFlorida, said.
"We're proud to have found a
home in the heart of the
downtown area and to bring
the community of Lake
Placid the hours, products
and services that only

Lake Placid's one-of-a-

attention to their charming
town. Embracing the unique

-Family ready to heat up

air conditioning franchise


Special to the News-Sun
LABELLE After more
than four decades as Cox Air
Conditioning & Electric Inc.,
James and Karen Steedley are
transitioning into the Aire
Serv of South Central Florida
franchise.
The Steedley's purchased
Cox Air Conditioning &
Electric from Karen's parents
in 2005. Karen grew up in the
family heating and cooling
business, taking on roles from
call-taker and dispatcher to
office manager. James left the
citrus industry to join the
family business.
"After my parents retired,
my husband and I wanted to
continue the family business
to ensure our customers con-
tinued receiving a high-level
of customer service," Karen
Steedley, said. "However, the
industry keeps advancing, so
my.family and I looked at the
Aire Serv system and how
professionally, it is run, and


we know it will enhance our
business."
Still locally owned and
'operated, the Aire Serv of
South Central Florida is offer-
ing quality heating and air
conditioning service to their
community with business sys-
tems and customer service
training to help them "be the
best we can."
"Aire Serv is a premier
choice for heating 'and air
conditioning service and
repair," Doyle James said,
president of Aire Serv
Heating & Air Conditioning
Inc. "We're delighted that
James and Karen have joined
our franchise system, and we
believe their business will be
successful because we all
operate under the same core
values."
After the Steedley's pur-
chased the franchise, James
and Karen attended a five-day

E-file tax benefits heightened for most who qualify for stimulus check


Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING More than ever, elec-
tronic filing (IRS e-file) is an impor-
tant and beneficial step that taxpayers
should take this tax season to ensure
confirmation of receipt :of return,
among other benefits, according to the
tax preparers at the Highlands County
offices of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service.
Not only does the IRS e-file program
provide assurance than your 2007
income tax return has been received,
choosing this method when filing can
also expedite the receipt of an expect-
ed income tax refund.


This year, these benefits are height-
ened, since those who qualify for a
check as part of the Economic
Stimulus Payment must file a 2007
income tax return, and e-filing a
return offers assurance to millions of
taxpayers that their return has been
received by the IRS and that their
information is in queue for the pro-
cessing of their stimulus payment
check. However, for some individuals
who qualify for the stimulus payment
but in past years income, zero tax and
zero payments a paper return will
have to be filed for the IRS processing


of their stimulus payment checks. '
"Most of my customers choose to e-
file a tax return, and we see this numn-
ber growing every year," explains Lisa
Thomas, franchise owner of Jackson
Hewitt. "Jackson .Hewitt provides
electronic filing free to all of its paid
tax preparation customers. E-filing a
return just makes sense, and even
more so this year as those who can e-
file are expecting a stimulus payment
check, can rest assured that their
return has been received and is in the
pipeline."
Since launching IRS E-file as a


pilot program in 1986, the IRS has
actively promoted the program by
pointing out its many benefits. E-fil-
ing has grown from 19.2 million
returns (15.8 percent) in 1997 to 79.9
million returns (54.4 percent) in
2007.*
The benefits of electronically filing
a tax return include:
Speed: Not only does e-filing a
tax return allow the tax information to
be submitted faster to the IRS, but for
those who are expecting an income tax

The focus of National FFA Week has been to tell America about the great
opportunities available to all youth. With its beginning in 1928 as the Future Farmers
of America, the National FFA Organization today reaches out to all 50 states, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands. Today's Organization is equally relevant to students with
an agricultural background, as those with no prior experience before enrolling in a
class of agricultural education.

Through Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE's), classroom instruction and the
FFA, students learn life skills while serving their community with service projects.
Through classroom instruction and hands-on learning, agricultural education and FA
are making a positive difference in the lives of students everyday.

The FFA members of today are our future engineers, .:centists, teachers and
producers. Through the National Organization students may earn awards and recog-
nition and educ-.-tiunal scholarships to pursue their career goals.

Although only about 20o of our population is engaged in production agriculture, that
number swells to 200o that is employed in the critical food, fiber and resources
industries of agriculture,and former FFA members and supporters serve in these
essential careers.

The Sebring Sr. chapter offers opportunities to our students in the following Career
Development Events (CDE's): Ag Business Management, Agricultural Mechanics, Ag.
Ag Communications, Citrus, Food Science, Livestock Judging, Meat Judging,
Vegetable Judging, Prepared Public Speaking, Creed Speaking, Extemporaneous
Public Speaking, Parliamentary Procedure and Tractor Operations and Maintenance.

Opportunities abound to serve as an officer in the chapter, sub-district, district,
federation and state level. Numerous Leadership Conferences are offered throughout
the year, in addition the state and national Conventions where members are not only
recognized for their accomplishments but also afford the opportunity to attend to
business of the organization and to attend leadership workshops conducted by past
state and national officers of the organization.

The advisors and students of the Sebring Sr. subscribes to the FFA Mission which is:
FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential
for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Sebring Rotary Club prepares



for big spaghetti dinner


Newis-S' su il/' reports
SEBRING It's February
and for some that means Fair
Week and others Valentine's
Day. For members of the
Sebring Rotary Club, it means
spaghetti.
Wednesday marks the 45th
year for the annual Spaghetti
Dinner. Since 1978 the profits
have been more than
$201,000. Approximately
2,400 come through the lines
.for spaghetti.
Ernie Breed, Ed Koch and
Kim McKay boil water in two
55-gallon drums and cook
spaghetti. They cook 400
pounds dry weight of spaghet-
ti.


Larry Jernigan coordinates
the team to start cooking 700
pounds of lean meat in 14 50-
pound batches along with
more than 100 gallons of
tomato products and all the
other condiments. The cook-
ing starts at 8 a.m.
About 24 cases of green
beans are flavored with
smoked ham hocks and
chopped fresh onions in
numerous 15-20 gallon pots
beginning at 8 a.m., simmer-
ing all day. Cole slaw; rolls,
butter and cookies are added
to the plate' at serving time.
Four serving lines of
Rotarians help the "eat-in"
customers and serve the


"take-out" lines.
Sebring and Hill-Gustat
Middle School band students
are helping sell tickets. The
stage bands will play a con-
cert during the dinner. The
bands benefit from this
fundraiser dinner.
Any leftover food is donat-
ed to the New Testament
Mission.
Serving will be from 4:30-
7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the
Highlands County
Fairgrounds. See why
February means spaghetti to
the Sebring Rotary Club.

BRANCH
Continued from 9A
new branch and hope to have
a mural completed as well.
"We look forward to our
involvement in working with
the Mural Society in the
future," said Debbie Orlos,
Lake Placid native and branch
manager for the new branch.
"I'm thrilled to have the
opportunity to join
MidFlorida's commitment to
the Lake Placid community.
It's been very exciting for the
staff to see some of the histor-
ical pictures of Main Street
from the 1930's in our lobby
and to hear stories from that
era."
A grand opening celebra-
tion is planned for Friday and


FAMILY
Continued from 9A
training course on the latest
technology, customer service
techniques and marketing
methods.

refund, they can receive their
refund in eight to 15 days via
direct deposit to their bank
account, versus a six to eight
week wait if they file by
paper return and receive their
refund check in the mail.
Accuracy: E-filing
offers an additional way to
ensure accuracy. Tax infor-
mation errors and Social
Security number mismatch-
ing have a greater chance of
being identified, allowing
them to be corrected sooner,
and avoid a possible further
delay in processing and
receipt of a refund, if expect-
ed.
Confirmation of Receipt:
The IRS acknowledges all e-
filed tax returns, typically
within two business days -
alleviating the stress of won-
dering if your return has been
received.
The Jackson Hewitt offices
in Highlands County are
working with customers now
to prepare and file 2007 tax
returns and to help filers
understand the benefits of e-
filing.

schedule an appointment, call

Pause and
Consider
Jan Merop

Presidential

qualities
Politicians have been fill-
ing the horizon in hopes of
becoming the next President
of the United States.
Unfortunately, some mud-
slinging has smudged hands
and faces. Who's genuine
and who is not?
What qualities and char-
acter traits should we be
looking for in a candidate
for the highest office in
America?
If we look back to our
founding fathers, we find
men who though prosper-
ous, secure and respected -
counted the cost, paid the
price and secured our free-
dom sacrificially.
Wouldn't it be good to
find a candidate of integrity
who is willing to be a ser-
vant leader putting aside
selfish ambitions for the
good of the nation? One
who would inspire the same
in us rather than foster-
ing an entitlement attitude?
Men of faith in the God
of the Bible and the teach-
ing of that book founded
this nation and held office.
They recognized their own
.frailty their need for
divine wisdom and guid-
ance. Greatness came to this
nation through God working
through faithful men and
women who acknowledged
him.
We need qualified leaders
who can govern us justly
and in truth.
President's Day acknowl-
edges the birthdays of
Presidents George
Washington and Abraham
Lincoln. Perhaps their
words say it best.
Washington once said in
his inaugural address to
Congress that no people can
be bound to acknowledge
and adore the invisible hand
which conducts the affairs
of men more than the people
of the United States. He
then went on to say that we
can't expect heaven's smiles
if we disregard heaven's
eternal rules of order.
Lincoln proclaimed that
the United States has been
the recipient of the choicest
bounties of heaven ... pre-
served in peace and prosper-
ity; grown in numbers,
wealth and power, as no
other nation has ever grown.
But then he said, "But we
have forgotten God. We
have forgotten the gracious
hand which preserved us in
peace, and multiplied and
enriched and strengthened
us; and we have vainly
imagined, in the deceitful-
ness of our hearts, that all
these blessings were pro-
duced by some superior wis-
dom and virtue of our own."
(The Rebirth of America,
published by The Arthur S.
DeMoss Foundation)
Lincoln went on to speak
of our intoxication of unbro-
ken success and self-suffi-
ciency requiring us to hum-
ble ourselves and pray for
God's forgiveness.
For as it says in II
Chronicles 7:14, NKJV, "If
My people who are called
by My name will humble
themselves, and pray and
seek My face, and turn from
their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin and
heal their land."
Let's be on our knees
praying for God's wisdom
in who should lead this
great nation. Sclah

Diversions


Quiet, considerate boy is fine just as he is


The News-Sun www.newssun.com


PLEASE CALL THEATRE OR VISIT Us
ONLINE FOR MOVIES AND SHOWTIMES
AUL E,!O-UfES; INLD www.carMike.com


Question: We have a 9-
year-old boy who is quiet,
careful, thoughtful and very,
very shy. Does that mean he
is not "all boy"? Should we
be trying to change him, to
make him more assertive and
aggressive?
Dr. Dobson: The wonder-
ful thing about the way
human beings are designed is
their marvelous variability
and complexity. We are all
different and unique. My pre-
vious discussions of aggres-
sive, risk-taking boys repre-
sent an effort to characterize
young males, showing what
is typical and how they are
different from their sisters.
However, they also differ
from one another on a thou-
sand traits.
I remember taking my 10-
year-old son and his friend
on a skiing trip one day. As
we rode the gondola to the
top of the mountain, I pre-
pared to take a picture of the
two boys with the beautiful
landscape visible behind
them. Ryan, my son, was
smiling and clowning for the
camera, while Ricky was just
sitting quietly. Ryan then


asked Ricky to
wave and goof off
like he was doing.
Ricky replied
solemnly, "I'm not
that kind of per-
son." It was true.
The two boys were
at opposite ends of
the continuum in
their personalities.
I still have that
picture of the two
kids one going

The Family
Dr. James Dobson


crazy and the other
appearing bored half to
death. Each of them was "all
boy."
Your son is certainly not
alone in his characteristic
shyness. Accord-ing to the
New York Longitudinal
Study, approximately 15 per-
cent of babies are somewhat
quiet and passive in the nurs-
ery. That feature of their tem-
peraments tends to be per-
sistent throughout childhood
and beyond. \
I My advice to you is to go
with the flow. Accept your
child just the way he is
made. Then look for those
special qualities that give
your boy individuality and


potential. Nurture
him. Cultivate him.
And then give him
time to develop into
his own unique per-
sonality like no
other human being
on Earth.

Question: My
wife and I have a
strong-willed child
who is incredibly
difficult to handle. I


honestly believe we
are doing our job about as
well as any parents would do
under the circumstances, yet
she still breaks the rules and
challenges our authority. I
guess I need some encour-
agement. First, tell me if an
especially strong-willed kid
can be made to smile and
give and work and cooperate.
If so, how is that accom-
plished? And second, what is
my daughter's future? I see
trouble ahead, but don't
know if that gloomy forecast
is justified.
Dr. Dobson; There is no
question about it; an espe-
cially willful child such as
yours can be difficult to man-


age even when her parents
handle her with great skill
and dedication. It may take
several years to bring her to
a point bf relative obedience
and cooperation within the
family unit, but it will hap-
pen. While this training pro-
gram is in progress, it is
important not to panic. Don't
try to complete the transfor-
mation overnight. Treat your
child with sincere love and
dignity, but require her to
follow your leadership.
Choose carefully the matters
which are worthy of con-
frontation; then accept her
challenge on those issues and
win decisively. Reward every
positive, cooperative gesture
she makes by offering your
attention, affection, and ver-
bal praise. Then take two
aspirin and call me in the
morning.

Dr Dobson is founder and chair-
man of the board of the nonprofit
organization Focus on the
Family, Colorado Springs, CO

Plenty of romance still left at the book store


Even though by the time
this column appears.
Valentine's Day will be over,
our Valentine "Love is in the
Air" sale will continue until
the end of the month at the
Sebring Friends of the
Library book store. Any of
the romance paperbacks in
the back room, any other
book in the store regardless
of topic which has a pink
sticker or the words "love"
or "romance" on the cover is
half price.
Any of you who have
attended our annual
Piatigorsky Concerts at the
Sebring Library know you
are in for a wonderful experi-
ence and this year will be the
same with Scottish-born
flutist Lorna McGhee and
Canadian harpist, Heidi
Krustzen. This duo has made
many public appearances,
written their own arrange-
ments, and produced CD's.
They will be performing at
the Sebring Public Library at
6 p.m. on Feb. 24. Our own
Friends of the Library will
provide the refreshments. No
admission charge.
Our first venture into the
Sebring Gallery Walk on Jan.
31 was a great success. The
volunteers on duty were so
pleased to welcome so many
new folks to our used book-
store at 117 E. Center Street.
The orchid which was placed
in the store by the Orchid
Society was so beautiful and
admired by all and we appre-
ciate the society for loaning
it to us for the walk. Since
the theme of the gallery walk
was "Orchids," we had many
great gardening books on dis-
play along with a chance to
win a gift certificate to the
store.
We will be taking part in
the FebruaryGallery walk
which is on Feb. 28. This
coincides with The Circle of
Speed, where historic race
cars will roar into the Circle
Park area. The Circle itself
will be closed to traffic but
the side streets including
Center Street will be open so
one can be at the finish line
by attending the Gallery
Walk. Look for our check-
ered flag flying and there
will be appropriate books for
sale in line with the car rac-
ing theme. And, of course,
we hope to see many of you
at the store!
We have recently received
many, many wonderful chil-
dren's books, which are in
the little front room to the
right of the entrance. That
room is now packed with
audio books and shelves of
children's books-The audio
books there and the video
tapes in the back room are all
priced at $1 what a bar-
gain!! And they are selling
very quickly so get into the
store as soon as you can to
take advantage of this sale.
Back to the great chil-
dren's books in our store. If
your child or grandchild likes
the big red dog, Clifford, we
have several books in that
series; if a Berenstain Bears
fan, come see if we have
something new in the
escapades of this bear family.
Of course, there are the
delightfully funny books of
Dr. Seuss. We also have
many books in a series fea-
turing JimHenson's
Muppets; one in particular is
"Kermit and the New
Bicycle," a book about hon-
esty.
Children love books about
animals so how about these
two: "A Home for a Little
Turtle" or "I Wonder why
Skunks Are So Smelly." And
who can resist the charming
stories written by Robert
Munsch? We have his famous
"Love You Forever," which
is a moving book for both
children and parents.


Looking over these books for
research for my column


brought back many happy
hours of reading to my three
children and six grandchil-
dren they all know that
books are always on their
gift list from me.


It is a pleasure and an
honor to read to your chil-
dren and grandchildren, so I
hope you will visit both our
local Sebring Library and our
used bookstore for wonderful


books to share with them.
The store, phone is 314-0053
and our hours are 9:30 4:30
Tuesday through Saturday.
And., as always, we are look-
ing for new members; appli-
cation forms are in the book-
store and the Sebring
Library.
. Until next time, do have a
happy time reading!

What's your fish and wildlife habitat IQ? Take this test to find out


We are fortu-
nate in Florida to
live in a state
that has such a
diversity of fish
and wildlife.
Knowledge of
the basics of the
plants and ani-
News mals that sur-
round us is
From The important. In
Watershed order to conserve
and protect our
Corine Burgess precious
resources we need to have some
knowledge about them and know
what it takes to protect them. How
about you? Do you have a good
basic understanding of what fish
and wildlife need to survive? You
probably do if you can answer the
questions below correctly.
Choose only one answer for each.


1. Everything you do on your
land affects wildlife.
a. True
b. False


2. What are the basic needs of
wildlife? (choose best answer)
a. Food, water, cover and space
b. Food, water and shelter
c. Food, water and a place to
raise young
d. Food, water and winter cover


3. Which habitat statement below
is most nearly correct'?
a. What is good for one species
of wildlife is good for all others as
well.
b. Individual species have specif-
ic habitat needs.
c. Habitat you create for one
species will be wrong for all others.

4. A soft, gradual transition from
crop field to other habitat is better
for more species than an abrupt
change.
a. True
b. False

5. Rotational grazing helps birds
as well as cows.
a. True
b. False


6. The best conservation practices
for fish and wildlife habitat include:
a. restored wetlands, streamside
buffers and ponds
b. windbreaks, diverse grass
plantings and clean water
c. connecting corridors, and man-
aged timber and grassland
d. All of the above

7. Which is not a good general
rule for habitat plantings?

b. Use a variety of plants
c. Create habitat away from water
d. Use plants that offer food and
cover for wildlife.

8. You may benefit grassland
birds by discing old grass.
a. True
b. False

We care about our environment.
Each of us can educate ourselves
and be proactive with regard to pro-
tecting our natural resources.
Whether we reside in a residential
neighborhood or are making a liv-
ing through agriculture, we can all


be a part of conserving our precious
resources.
We need to keep in mind that
productive use of privately owned
cropland, rangeland, pastureland
and forestland is essential to the
nation's security and the health and
well-being of its citizens. They
form the foundation of a substantial
and vibrant agricultural economy
that provides food, fiber, forest
products, and energy for our nation.
These lands can also produce ,
environmental benefits that people
need clean and abundant water,
clean air and healthy ecosystems.
Two-thirds of the nation is in agri-
cultural and forest use and the man-
agement of these lands affects the
quality of the environment for
everyone. (NRCS, Productive Lands
Healthy Environment).
As a landowner, no matter how
small or large your parcel is, you
can be a good land steward. By pro-
viding habitat, clean water, shelter
and a food source, you are con-
tributing to the protection of our
natural resources. Find out more
about what you can do. For more


information on wildlife habitat,
check the web at
http://w\ww.whmi.nrcs.usda.gov/ani-
mals.html or stop by our office at
4505 George Blvd., or you can visit
our website at www.highlandssw-
cd.org.

Did you know?
The original name for the butter-
fly was "flutterby." Many spiders
have eight eye. Pigeon's eyes are
located laterally on their heads, so
they can view 340 degrees. A falcon
can see a four-inch object from
nearly a mile away.
Can an owl really turn it's head
completely around? No. It's actually
a three quarter turn quickly, giving
the appearance of a full turn.
Answers: .a; 2.a; 3.b; 4.a; 5.a;
6.d; 7.c; 8.a.

Bobby Horton to


bring music and


history to SFCC

Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK South Florida Community
College's Matinee Series will bring the past
alive with Bobby Horton as he performs
"Songs and Stories of the Civil War" at 1:30
p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26, in the SFCC
Auditorium. Horton performed this show as
part of the SFCC Kaleidoscope Series in 2006,
and is back by popular demand.
Dressed as a 19th century performer, using
period musical instruments, Horton explQres
the stories of both North and South through
the music they loved. Each song is placed in
context with historical background and por-
trays the struggles, hopes and fears of
Americans during this long historical conflict.
These songs and stories tell of families left
behind, fallen comrades, the hope of going
home and the pride, bravery and patriotism of
the volunteers who answered their country's
call. This is not just a performance for Civil
War buffs, but for anyone who loves great
music, inspired story-telling and an afternoon
of unforgettable entertainment.
A seasoned performer, Horton is a multi-
instrumentalist, composer, producer and
music historian. For more than 30 years, he
has performed with the musical-comedy
group, Three On A String. He has also pro-
duced and performed music scores for eight
Ken Burns PBS films, two programs for the
A&E network, and nine films for the National
Park Service. He has been performing "Songs
and Stories of the Civil War" coast to coast
since 1985.
Residing in Birmingham, Ala., Horton has
contributed to many projects, including Ken
Burns' documentaries "The Civil War,"

Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING The library
just isn't what it used to be.
Today's library has evolved
into so much more.
There is an extensive col-
lection of DVD's (fairly new
releases, classic movies and
non-fiction) and audio books
for the busy adult on the go
who still wants to experience
a good book every now and
then.
Musical CD's can open
new areas of interest, and, of
course, there is the trusty
book. The new release section
is packed with exciting
adventures and invaluable
non-fiction books.
Computers are available
for public access to the inter-
net on a high-speed connec-


lion. The librarians don't
walk down the aisle with a
finger to their lips, "shush-
ing" everyone (although they
do ask for a certain amount of
restraint in the chatter).
On Sunday, Feb. 24, the
libraries will be kicked up a
notch. The Friends of the
Library will be hosting a free
musical concert featuring a
classical music duo that has
played abroad.
Lorna McGhee and Heidi
Krutzen complement each
other as they play the flute
and harp.
The duo will play at the
Lake Placid Library at 2 p.m.
and at 6 p.m. in the Sebring
Library. Refreshments will be
provided by the Friends of the

Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING Florida-Ken
Keller, former radio broad-
caster and retired advertising
executive, released his first
book, "Monkey on a
Turntable: Living on Love
and Leftovers in Local
Radio," last fall. The book,
published by Orange Frazer
Press ($14.95), depicts the
chaos and comedy of local
radio in a day when stations
were still independently
owned and operated.
Keller will be a guest
speaker on at noon on
Saturday, March 1, at Books-
a-Million. 1716 U.S. 27 in
Sebring, and from 2-4 p.m. on
Tuesday, March 4, at the Lake
Placid Public Library, 205 W
Interlake Blvd.
Copies of Keller's book
will be available to be pur-
chased and signed at both
events. Author royalties from


book sales benefit the
Columbus Kiwanis Club
Scholarship Fund. The events
are open to the public and
free of charge.
"Monkey on a Turntable"
centers around the change of
radio in the middle of the last
century as independent sta-
tions moved toward conglom-
erate ownership. With the
emergence of television,
advertising dollars began
fleeing the old medium for
the new, and took with them
radio's brightest stars: Bob
Hope, Red Skelton, Amos 'n'
Andy and so many more. It
was precisely at this point in
time that Keller arrived at his
first studio with an audition
tape and a passion for broad-
casting.
From building "stacks of
wax," to. reading live com-
mercials, to color-casting
Ohio State football games,


there was little in the world of
broadcast that couldn't be
bungled. Keller's rollicking,
coming-of-age story depicts
the men and women who
made radio in the 1950s and
'60s.
Keller resides in
Columbus, Ohio. His six-year
career in broadcasting has
included various Columbus
area stations, such as WMNI,
WTVN, WRFD, WOSU, and
WBNS TV. In 1972,, Keller
helped co-found TRIAD, a
successful advertising and
public relations practice
based in Westerville, Ohio

we see four different perspec-


tives of being a 19th Century
woman. Meg, the oldest
March sister, marries young
and begins her own family. Jo
attempts to walk the most dif-
ficult path: she wants to have
it all both a successful pro-
fessional life and fulfilling
family life. Beth is sub-
servient and dutiful to her
parents and immediate fami-
ly, putting them above all
else, even herself. Amy, the
youngest sister, focuses more
on art, pleasure, and self.
Now for the first time, this
wonderful narrative has been
brought to life as an exhilarat-
ing new musical filled with
glorious music, dancing and
heart. "Little Women"
embodies the complete the-
atrical experience, guarantee-


ing a night filled with laugh-
ter, tears and a lifting of the
spirit.

ance is co-sponsored by Dr.

Class 1A State Wrestling Meet



Highlands grapplers snag three medals


News-Sun photo by DAN HOEHNE
Shaanan Spiegel looks to take down Joshua Trippett of Baker County
Friday night. Spiegel lost this match, but came back Saturday to place
third in the 152-pound weight class.


By AMY HART
News-Sun correspondent
LAKELAND- Highlands county
was somewhat disappointed going
into state with only three wrestlers,
but having three state players at the
Class 1A state meet at the Lakeland
Center certainly went a long way to
make up for it.
Shaanan Spiegel took third with a
2-0 overtime decision over Wade
Coston from Clay in the 152-pound
weight class.
"It's hard to come in here
wrestling for yourself. It's easier
when you have teammates," Sebring
coach Denny Hays said. "He had a
good season, and finished it beating
the only kid who'd beaten him all
season before the state series."
James Bland got a 17-0 technical
pin over Tronic Williams from South
Fort Myers to claim his own third-
place medal at 160 pounds.
"I wish it was first, but I'm happy
with what I got until next year,"
the junior said after making his third
trip to the state meet
"I was nervous from the start,
which made me second doubt myself
and I hope I don't make the same
mistake next year," said Kemosi
Hatten when he got off the mat.
Hatten took fifth with a 3:23 pin
over Randy May from Riverdale,
after starting down by two points.


'I wish it was first,
but I'm happy with
what I got until next
year.'

JAMES BLAND
Avon Park Junior
Hatten then came back like he
had all tournament, scoring four
unanswered points and getting a pin.
"Kemosi's finals opponent was
favored to win the whole tourna-
ment," Avon Park coach Ed Brown
said. "Kemosi was winning by two.
when he turned him over and pinned
him. He wrestled hard and it
worked.
"The Kemosi that just came off
the mat was the Kemosi I wish I'd
seen all weekend. He finally showed
a sense of urgency and realized this
was the time to take care of busi-
ness. I hope this success will influ-
ence the rest of the team so they see
what hard work can get them."
To get to the match to decide
between third and fourth place,
Spiegel pinned Kevin Drawdy from
Crystal River in 4:53 early Saturday
afternoon.
Bland took a similar route, pin-
ning Max Piasecki from Jupiter


Christian in 3:47.
Before the- finals Spiegel com-
mented, "This is the last match of
my career. I'm just gonna stay
focused and leave everything on the
mat."
On Friday, after both Spiegel and
Bland had gone 2-0 Thursday, both
won their quarterfinals but came up
short of wrestling for their respec-
tive championships when they lost
their semifinals matches.
Spiegel won a 14-2 major deci-
sion over Tommy Oetting from
Matanzas and lost to Joshua Trippett
of Baker County in a 3-1 decision.
Bland got a 15-0 technical deci-
sion over Wes Jarrell of Tampa Prep
before a 9-4 loss to Luke McGurrin
from Bolles.
Hatten went 2-0 on Friday in con-
solations to get into the consolation
semifinals.
He pinned Josh Hodges from
Paker County in 4:57 and managed a
5-2 decision over Derek Bonvillian
of Estero before a 9-5 loss to
Dominick Pierre of Calvary
Christian to send him to the match to
decide between fifth and sixth place.
"It's a step in the right direction.
We had one state Placerr last year,
and two this year. They work hard
and it shows, Red Devil coach Lee

the Bill Jarrett Ford Early Bird Tournament.

AVON PARK "Curve
ball, curve ball, curve ball,"
replied Sebring hurler Adam
Simmons when asked what he
though was his best pitch dur-
ing his match-up against Avon
Park in game seven of the Bill
Jarrett Early Bird Tournament
at Head Field on Friday night.
The Streaks were out for


payback, having
dropped a game 3-2
earlier in the tourna-
ment their eternal
rivals the Red Devils,
ahd Simmons' tough
pitching kept the Avon
Park bats quieter than
usual.
Simmons would lead


allowed base hitter Jordan
Bassett to score again in the
bottom of the fourth.
A triple in the fifth by
Streak Kyle Long would set-
up the score and the base hit
up the middle from Gus
Williams would bring him
home and cap the 6-0 Streak
lead.
Sebring would finish the
tournament with a 2-1 record,

over the Red Devils, giving
up just one hit in six innings.'
"Adam threw a good hard
curve ball," said assistant
coach Chet Maxcy while
wrapping Simmons' throwing
arm in ice after the game.
"He threw the curve well,
and then would throw a hard
fast ball at hitters like Kyle
Jackson and (Heath) Barnes
to mix it up and keep them off
balance," Maxcy added.
STwo errors and some solid
hitting from the Streaks in the
bottom of the second caught
the Red Devils off guard and
gave the Sebring sluggers a 4-
0 lead early in the game.

for sure; this rivalry
will continue through-
out the season.
The sixth game of
the Bill Jarrett Early

Dragons with a mauling they
would not soon forget.
Shaken bad as the
Auburndale Bloodhounds
grabbed a hold and shook
them to a 12-0 loss Friday
afternoon, the Dragons would
loose their confidence and
struggle to hold the score
down.
Giving up seven hits for 12
runs during any baseball
game means that something
went wrong somewhere, and
for the Dragons, the wrong
started in the top of the fifth.
Holding their own for the
first two innings, the scrappy

pitcher Carlos Sosa, held the

Bloodhounds to just one hit
and no runs.
Sliding slightly in the top
of the third, a Green Dragon
defensive error put a runner
on second base, and a back-
to-back error allowed another
Bloodhound to gain first, and
the runner a chance to go
home.
Pitching his way out of the
top of the inning, Sosa would
keep it to just one hit and two
runs, but the Dragons left two
on base in the bottom of the
third.


Holding their own in the
fourth, the Dragons allowed
just one more hit and no runs.
That's when the trouble
started for the Dragons, and
the Bloodhounds took Aubu
full advantage of the
confusion and score
ten runs off of just four I
more hits. Lake
Two Auburndale hits
and a stand up double
by Bloodhound Brice
Alumbaugh would put
two RBIs on the books, then a
Sosa wild pitch and a triple by
his teammate Brandon
Patterson would clear the
bags.
Two more Bloodhound

base hits and three errors later
would leave the Dragons
down 12-0 from just seven
hits and six errors all told.
The shaken Dragons would
dale get a chance at bat, but
the tight Auburndale
S defense would not
allow them to even get
'lacid on base.
The game was called
S after that, and the
Dragons ended their
part in the Tournament
0-3.
The Lake Region Thunder
wound up taking the overall
tournament, topping
Sebastian River, 10-0, in
Friday night's finale.
