Mechanic Ben Clark reaches for a tool Thursday morning to help drop a transmission from a Dodge mini-

Older, more expensive car parts in demand.


By TREY CHRISTY
tre.\.chrisr' SEBRING While man comrn-'
panies have changed the %way they
do business, the current economic
climate has consumers changing
the way they think about their
cars.
For the past month Charlie
White of WVhiie's Transmission
has seen his business volume
increase 50 percent.
He was making cutbacks but
now employ s "a full crew," all'
working 40-hour weeks due to
consumer demand.
Transmission repair and
replacement is prettyl much all
we do," he said. which can be a
major investment in a car.
"I think a lot of people are get-
ting cars repaired because they
aren't wanting to buy new cars,"
he said. "It's smarter to repair
what they have rather thafin buying,
new."
Customers shell out between
$500 and $2,500 for repairs or
replacement transmissions, with
no pattern to the make or model

Audit shows

county is in

good shape

financially

By ED BALDRIDGE
ed.baldridge@newssun.com
SEBRING Highlands County got
good grades on its recent audit report.
According to Julie Fowler, an auditor
with the NCT Group, the accounting
agency who did the audit, the county was
in good financial shape as of Sept. 30,
2008.
The actual 250-page audit report was
not available for the public yet accord-
ing to Fowler it was still at the printers -
so she presented a summary of the infor-
mation to commissioners and the public.
All aspects of the county's fund
accounting balances were in good shape,
according to Fowler.
Although overall tax revenue dropped
slightly in 2008, ad valorem taxes rose to
.compensate.
Speaking to recent concerns over .the
"oss of sales tax revenues, Fowler
informed commissioners that the short-
term future may not be so bleak.
*. "The county is in a healthy financial
position and you have plenty to carry the
county forward into the future," Fowler
stated.
The county had just more than $288
million in assets at the close of 2008, and
$92 million in investments.
On the other side of the sheet, county
coffers., were encumbered with just $50.2
million liabilities, with $2.7 in long-term
Sdebt including $2.8 in development of the
new asphalt plant.
Foler stated that her fi mn had nbt
addressed the recent issues raised in the
Fuel Audit Report, nor could she speak
directly to the qualifications of the Clerk
of Court's staff.
-"This is not something a regular CPA
would normally do,, hat's why the county
contracts us. Normal CPA duties deal
directly with debits and credits and bal-
ance sheets," Fowler said.
But Fowler did assert _that the county
contracts NCT for training at $185 per
hour and has used just three hours so far of
that training contract.
NCT did raise concerns in its 2007 audit
about the level of qualifications in the
clerk's office.
Page 246 of that report stated, "A mate-
rial weakness in internal control over
financial reporting existed as of
September 30, 2007 because the County
did not have personnel with' sufficient
technical knowledge and training to pre-
pare financial statements in accordance
with generally accounting principles."


Change in plans at

treatment plant saves

Avon Park big money


By CHRISTOPHER
TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.comn
AVON PARK With
the aging water treatment
plant in need of repair, the
City of Avon Park faced sig-
nificant expenses.
Replacement parts alone run
into the tens of thousands of
dollars and labor costs typi-
cally double that amount.
According to utilities
coordinator Ted Long, $12
million had been budgeted
to retro-fit the equipment,
basically creating a new
treatment process. The plan
was to bid out the project.


But with the unstable
economy the original plans
were revised, changing as
time went on from a com-
plete makeover to making
necessary repairs.
While the proposed costs
were drastically reduced,
the needed $482,000 was
still a large amount and
included outside labor.
While these plans were
taking shape, Long and
operating foreman Freddie
Renfro sat down one after-
noon to think the situation
over.

Brickell Building project still in limbo

Insurance issues the current hold-up on restoration


By ED BALDRIDGE
ed.baldridge@newssun.com
AVON PARK Work on the
Brickell Building in downtown
Avon Park has progressed some, but
is still plagued by insurance issues.
Avon Park city officials are mak-
ing concessions to move the project
forward, and allowed the installa-
tion of new windows and doors at
street level by a subcontractor, said
City Clerk Cheryl Tietjen.
"Code enforcement allowed the
installation of the doors and win-
dows because that contractor had
his Worker's Comp, but the original
project is still halted until they get
their insurance," Tietjen said.
The major overhaul on the his-
toric building has seen ups and'
downs over the last year because of
permitting and insurance issues.
A permit snafu in October 2008


halted work on the historic building
at the corner of Lake Avenue and
Main Street. I
Progress on the retro-fit of the
old building was heading in the
right direction when a code enforce-
ment officer discovered that the
original permit was for demolition
only. Not for repairs.
And in January of this year,
Worker's Compensation Insurance
payment problems stopped recent
repairs.
"They did not have the proper
insurance," said Capt. Donald
Simmons, one of three code
enforcement officers in Avon Park,
after the January halt.
Although pleased with the work
in progress, Simmons had to issue a
cease and desist order to the devel-
opment group American Heritage
Properties of Polk County, located


in Plant City.
"When they are working, they are
doing remarkable and quality work,
but I was contracted by the insur-
ance company handling their
Worker's Compensation Insurance,
and, according to the letter, they
have let their insurance lapse,"
Simmons said.
The Brickell Building is a large
part of the downtown area, covering
almost half of a city block, and
plans for the building include mak-
ing a north and south breezeway
where retail shops will be accessi-
ble in a mini-mall like fashion,
adding a new elevator, and renovat-
ing 17 apartment units on the sec-
ond floor.
The Main Street CRA originally
approved $20,000 in grants for the
restoration of the facade, but that
investment is stalled until the devel-

oper brings forth completed plans
for the advisory committee.
"We asked for plans, and never


received them," said Main Street
chairman Devon Donaldson at a
recent meeting.

grant from

SWFWMD
Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING The
Highlands Soil and Water
Conservation District will
receive a $4,950 Community
Education Grant froni the
Southwest Florida Water
Management District to talk
to homeowner associations
about water conservation and
rain sensors.
During the presentations,
homeowners will also be able

sors.
The Highlands Soil and
Water Conservation District
and volunteers will then visit
the sites where the rain sen-
sors are installed to ensure
that the devices were
installed correctly.
Follow-up surveys will be
conducted to determine the
water savings. This project is
expected to reach 2,000 peo-
ple.
The overall goal of the
Community Education Grant
program is to actively engage
adults in water-related issues
pertaining to conservation,
protection and preservation.
Funded by the district's
Basin Boards, the program is
intended to motivate commu-
nities to get involved in
watershed protection through
various activities and educa-
tional formats.
The DeSoto Co6nty proj-
ect is funded by the district's
Peace River Basin Board,
which includes portions of
Highlands, Charlotte,
Hardee, DeSoto and Polk
counties.
These grants provide up to
$5,000 to help fund projects
that provide communities an
opportunity to learn about
water resources.
This year the district
awarded 32 grants district-
wide. This is the 12th year
Community Education
Grants have been available.
The Southwest Florida
Water Management District's
2010 Community Education
Grant program will begin its

Friday for a total of 13 locations County wide within the next two weeks. "All bins have
been delivered and staff is preparing them with informational signs to help residents
recycle their glass correctly," said Christy Reed, Recycling Program manager for
Highlands County. Recycling of glass food and drink containers, along with glass bak-
ing ware, window panes, and even mirrors are all a part of the County's newest recy-
cling opportunity. All glass will be transported directly from one of the thirteen recy-
cling drop-off locations to the County landfill located off Arbuckle Creek Road. Hei-e it
will be processed into a fine crushed material to be used as aggregate to make asphalt
at the County owned facility. Reed stated that she is looking forward to the County

KVAR system paying off for AP


By CHRISTOPHER
TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.com
AVON PARK In a time
when most economic news
is bad, the city of Avon Park
actually has some good
news to report.
"We're real pleased with
(the KVAR capacitors). The
first units put on have
already paid for the initial
investment," said Freddie
Renfro in an interview
Wednesday. He is operating
foreman for the city.
KVAR is a brand name.
Its product, also produced
by other companies, is a'
series of customized capaci-.
tors which, "clean up the.
dirty power from the power
company," Renfro
explained.
Put simply, electricity
utilities vary the amount of
power they send through
their transmission and
delivery lines because of the
tremendous consumer
demand. The capacitors
equalize the oscillating
extreme highs and lows of
transmission into a 99 per-
cent continuous power feed,
saving wear and tear on the


electric motor itself they
survive an average of 80
percent longer while
using less electricity at the
same time. The device also
protects against power
surges.
"The savings are two-
fold," Renfro said, then
emphasized the savings
apply only to electric
motors, not other powered
items like lights.
Renfro became aware of
the device when a salesman
for the company sold him
one for his own home.
When he saw a 20 percent
saving in his electric bill,
he figured the city could
save even more and went
to the city council where it
approved a test of the
product at the Bell Street
pump last summer.
In July 2007 the electric
bill for the pump was
$6,593.08.
In July 2008 the first
full month after the device
was installed the elec-
tric bill for the pump was
$5,788.40. The cost of the
kilowatt hour, affected by.
volume, had dropped from
$8.53 an hour to $7.89.

Renfro warns that the
pump's .electric bill has
gone up since the beginning
of the year. "But, he said,
that is because of Progress;
Energy's 25 percent fee
hike.
"If we hadn't gone to
this, the bill would be much
higher," Renfro said.

County to consider

lighting ordinance


By ED BALDRIDGE
ed.baldridge@newssun.com
SEBRING County
Commissions heard argu-
ments for a new ordinance
that could curtail intrusive
lighting in Highlands
County.
Commissioners voted
unanimously Tuesday to
have a draft ordinance
drawn up to regulate light-
ing.
Two local stargazers, Al
and Kye Ewing, told com-
missioners about a conflict
with a neighbor who runs
bright lights, all night in
order to curtail their night
adventures.
The Ewings moved from
West Palm Beach to a 10-
acre lot in the Venus area
eight years ago for the dark
night skies that allow them
to pursue their interest in
astronomy..
Two years ago, though,
Kye said, a neighbor moved
in who wants to discourage
their stargazing and has
installed invasive lighting.
According to Kye Ewing,
the neighbor's lights not
only keep them from look-
ing at the heavens with
Their telescopes, but stalls
their attempts at instruction
of youth groups in astrono-
my.
Commissioner Don bates
said he has intervened and
attempted to assist in the
matter, pointing out ways to
shield and redirect the
neighbor's lighting so that
it doesn't affect his neigh-
bors.
But, According to Bates,
the neighbor.refuses to con-


sider the matter.
"A lighting ordinance is
needed not just to resolve
the Ewings' problem, but to
handle many similar situa-
tions throughout the coun-
ty," Bates said.
Bates said he hopes that,
following public hearings,
a proposed ordinance can
be brought before the coun-
ty commission in three
months.
"I want to get something
started, so we can have
something on the books
when people put up lights
that are offensive to neigh-
bors," Bates said.
."Light pollution is real,
there's no doubt about it,"
said Commissioner Guy
Maxcy.
"It's something worthy
of going forward on and
looking at."
Commissioner .Edgar
Stokes said he felt that
many people think they're
under too many govern-
ment regulations already.
"I would say we need to
move with caution," he
said.
As the county's rural
areas develop, Bates, said,
there will be more disputes
between neighbors over
lighting, and not all of them
will be over "stargazing."
Jean Warren, vice presi-
dent of the Highlands
County chapter of the
Audubon Society, said the
group's 300-plus members
would definitely support a
lighting ordinance because
they feel that "excessive
and glaring lighting does
harm birds."

TODAY'S EDITORIAL


Don't miss this opportunity


A t their last meeting, the county commis-
sioners heard arguments for and against
spending $250,000 to update the compre-
hensive plan.


There is no doubt that we are
required by state statute to have an
up-to-date comprehensive plan. In
fact, one wonders how any local
government can let that specific
plan get out of date so easily.
But there is one argument that
our elected officials and the opposi-
tion to doing the plan overlooked:
The opportunity to use the money
we are-required by law to spend to
stimulate the local economy and
create jobs.
One of the arguments that County
Administrator Michael Wright used
to support his position of hiring the
Central Florida Regional Planning
Commission was that it kept the
county from having to "re-hire peo-
ple to'get the job done."
Why is hiring local people to do
that job a bad thing?
Using county money to hire local
folks creates local stimulus and
brings a lot of long-term benefits to
the community as a whole.
Even though it will take longer to
hire people and then get them up to
speed, keeping those folks around
saves the county hundreds of thou-
sands in outside fees over the long
haul.
Every opportunity should be
made, in this economy to stimulate


local contractors, local retail sales,
local buying and local jobs. Even if
the cost is slightly higher.
Every dollar spent in the local
economy by our governments is
multiplied by keeping that dollar
local. When taxpayer money is paid
out in salaries, it stays in the county
for a couple of rounds until it is
finally passed on somewhere else.
When government paychecks are
cashed and spent locally, the effect
is multiplied two, three, and even
four times. That is a good return on
any investment.
To keep the example as basic as
possible, let's look at the simple
fact that everyone has to eat.
When a government employee is
paid, they usually buy groceries at a
local grocery store.
Those tax dollars are then used to
pay the management and the clerk
salaries, who in turn go to local
restaurants to eat. Those who serve
them are then paid by those same
tax dollars,.and the restaurant buys
local, produce. Local farmers use
those same dollars to buy tractors.
And the cycle continues...
Even if some of those tax dollars
leak out of our county's economic
cycle after the first couple of go-
rounds, it iJclear that they have a

TnnAv'e I


multiplied impact.
When you give $250,000 to a
group -out of the county to do any-
thing, that money immediately
leaves and never comes back.
Besides stimulating the economy,
there are other direct benefits to hir-
ing folks to do the job locally.
When we have staff who are
responsible for doing the work, we
develop our own relationship with
the state agencies, something
Wright pointed out that we desper-
ately need.
Using our own people to do the
work gives our taxpaying citizens a
local contact, meaning we have the
opportunity for more local input
into the government planning
process. Additionally, we have
someone in place that can keep the
plan updated regularly.
Finally, local people know all the
little quirks that make a difference
in effective government of our
county, but people from Tallahassee
have no idea how hard it is to some-
times find a parking space around
our government buildings..
So when it comes to spending a
quarter of a million to hire someone
to update our plan, we encourage
our elected officials to remember
that we need to spend our tax dol-
lars first creating jobs for folks in
our own back yard. It creates local
stimulus, we have the talent, and
people from other parts of the state
don't vote in Highlands County.

Win one for Sammy
Editor:
A giani tree has fallen and this
time the tree was heard unlike the
tree in the woods that fell and no
one seen or heard it fall so it
didn't make any sound. Well, this
giant tree (Samantha 'Sammy'
Lower) did make a noise as ,.
everyone on the ball diamond
heard the gut wrenchifig noise
that afternoon of March 9.
Sammy went too high to elude
a double play at second base, she
came down with the upper part of
her leg, above the knee, in one
direction and the leg below the-
knee in another direction. The
knee just seemed to explode as
the cracking and tearing sound
was heard by everyone there.
Even the birds quit chirping and
whistling in nearby trees and
woods.
Yes, this giant tree fell and it
was heard.
March 11 at 10 a.m. an MRI
was taken in Sebring for possible
damage and medical help by
qualified people. Prayers would
be appreciated.
March 13 softball game vs.
Braden River at Braden River is a
must game for Sammy's team.
The cry is "Win one for Sammy."
Braden River is in first place in
the district and has a win over
Sebring a couple of .weeks ago on
a hard fought game, but the girls
think.they can beat Braden River
this time and take control of their
destiny. For you see, this may be
the last time this great team of
players that started playing
together under the coaching of
legendary Coach Lee Tolar and
now with well respected Coach
Joe Sinness, has a chance to
claim their fame.
Sammy lower, Hannah Shoop,
Pookey Adams and Nikki Helms
have been playing together for
almost 10 years. Now this is their
time. Please, "Win one for
Sammy."
Braden River is 83 miles from
Sebring and the team hopes you
will be there for vocal support.
Thank you and "Win one for
Sammy."

Research shows a
different side of story
Editor:
I am writing to express my
concern for what Wally Cox is
telling our community concerning
the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act -(ARRA) funds and
how he believes they cannot be
used to prevent teacher layoffs.
The research that I have conduct-
ed tells me a different story.
On the Department of
Education's own ARRA informa-
tion page, it states that Florida


la
^"Copyrighted Mter

"Ar-lo 1

.0ow-IMM


has been allocated
$2,700,292,474 in State Fiscal
Stabilization Funds. This same
Web site states that these funds
"may be used for preventing cut-
backs, preventing layoffs, and
school modernization." This
could not be any clearer.
If these funds are not used to
prevent the cutback/layoff of
teachers in Highlands County, it
is because someone made a delib-
erate choice to use the funds for
some other purpose. I recognize
the complexity of our situation
and I am not naive. However, I
strongly believe that the first
choice in the use of these funds
must'be in maintaining the teach-
ers in our county. No other choice
is acceptable.
The number of teachers who
leave the profession is already
high enough; maintaining a
strong base of dedicated profes-
sionals must be our highest prior-
ity and must be placed abbve any
modernization projects. I have
been told that there is a fear
among many existing teachers in
out county that if they speak up
and oppose the plans as they have
been presented, they will be neg-
atively impacted. Certainly this is
not true.
Certainly those who hold edu-
cational leadership positions in
our county welcome a free
exchange of ideas and informa-
tion. It is in this spirit of apti-
mism that I suggest that Wally
Cox must advocate on behalf of
our county's teachers and ensure
that the ARRA dollars be used for
the intended, written purpose. No
other solution can be acceptable.'
Mr. Cox, you have a choice.
You may choose to, through your
actions and intentions, become a
hero and gain the respect and

alike. Or, you may make a differ-

Personally, I think this county
could use a few more heroes.

Tanglewood
Editor:
The Tanglewood Actors Guild
would like to thank the News-Sun
for your help in letting the resi-
dents of Sebring and surrounding
areas know about the Tanglewood
Actors Guild production of
"Nunsense." Christopher
Tuffley's excellent story was a
great help in promoting the play.
The numerous short announce-
ments you published were also


greatly appreciated.
We were overwhelmed by the
response to our play! In total,
more than 1,000 people attended
our matinee and three evening
performances.
Special thanks is extended to
our sponsors: Turner Furniture,
Florida Hospital-Heartland
Division, Edward Jones/Alan J.
Holmes and Heartland National
Bank.
Hats off to Director Joe
Morano; Musical Director Ruth
Ann Esseltine; Choreographer
Margaret Updike; and the Nuns,
Barb Snyder, Suzanne Schilffarth,
Sandy Radawiec, Erma Anderson
and Carol Amrein.
We couldn't have put the play
on without the help of countless
volunteers who worked tirelessly
to make this a most "profession-
al" production.

Continued from page 1A
how when we were young the
way we learned was to get in
and get dirty," Long said.
"And we wondered if there
was any reason we couldn't
teach the younger group of
people coming up to do this
too. It occurred to us that with
our guidance there was no
reason we couldn't do the
labor ourselves."
Which is how. Long and his
crew took on the challenge of
the work, and by so doing are
saving the city $357,067, cut-
ting the costs of the repairs
from $482,000 to $124,933,
with most of that going to
parts.
Treating wastewater, Long
said; is mostly a matter of
mixing .and air the vital
components are a motor, gear
reducers, rotors to keep the
water agitated, and deflector
plates. As long as those are in
good working order, the sys-
tem will function well.
To give a sense of the size,
rotors for the city's treatment
plant weigh three and a half
tons and are 19 feet long.
They cost $45,000 each.
Placed in the treatment
trough, the rotors spin keep-
ing the water moving. They
look a little like giant hair
rollers, or stainless steel pad-
dle wheels. A crane has to be
used. to move them.
Work is only just begin-
ning. The rotors have to be
custom made, a process that
will take 10 to 12 weeks. The
order went in just last week.
Long plans on starting prelim-
inary work Monday.
The treatment plant is over
20 years old, a fact that means
Long and his people will have
to be flexible and poised to
adapt like work in an older
home, some seemingly easy ,
fixes can prove to be more'
complicated.
While Long made it. clear
he did not have a crystal ball,
and was- reluctant to make
predictions, if all goes well,
these repairs' should keep the
treatment plant fully function-
al for- another ,eight to 10
years.

average monthly electric bill
for Bell. Street would drop,

'Over at the sewage plant
the savings are not quite as
dramatic, he added. The rea-
son being the motors are not
as large the rule of thumb
*for capacitor systems like
KVAR is the more and larger

Said for itself within 10
months.
Renfro, Whose office is
decorated with deer antlers-

everyone gets with the pro-
gram.
"It's a win/win for every-
body," he said. "If we don't

good for the environment and
the price of gas. The power

ment is, 'don't wait.'"

ent requests and we have
adjusted our inventory pur-
chase accordingly," he
said;.
The new requests are for
parts off of older vehicles.
"Where we normally
focus on cars that are say
five years old, we are get-
ting more requests from
insurance companies and
shops that are seven or
eight years old," he said.
In Sebring, the volume
for Jim's Auto Salvage has
decreased about 30 per--
cent, said. Vice President
Jeff Reed.
"We are not as busy as
we were two or three years
ago," he said. "We are a
lot better than most people,
but-we could be a lot
busier."
-.Both salvage yards deal
in parts, and Jim's has seen
not only a decrease in
overall volume but certain
parts are in higher demand,


specifically major ones
like engines and transmis-
sions.
"People are putting more
in a 10-year-old car where
normally they would buy a
new one," Reed said.
The decline in demand
for other parts could be
due to insurance
deductibles too, he said.
"They have a minor
fender beer bender, some can't
spend a thousand dollars
on a deductible, so they
just drive it," he said.
"Some are going as long as
they can."
The average cost for a
10-year-old engine can
vary between $500 and
$850, he.said, with addi-
tional costs for labor to
have it installed.
"I'd say probably any-
where from $500 on up,
just depending on the vehi-
cle," he said. "Sorie shops
might cut the prices to get
the Work."

CHALK TALK


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK Thirty
years ago, a group of civic-
minded citizens reached into
their pockets and came up
with the money to build the
South Florida Community
College Auditorium.
, Since it opened it 1978,
the auditorium has been
graced by singers, stars of
stage and screen, interna-
tional orchestras, and
Broadway-caliber theater,
Thousands of students have
'walked across the stage to
accept their high school and
College diplomas, while
many others have come to
the auditorium to hear politi-
cal forums or attend educa-
tional programs.
This spring, the auditori-
um will become the star of a
different kind of production,
a major renovation that will
begin in April and conclude
in February 2010. On March'
2, the SFCC Foundation Inc.
and its Capital Campaign
Steering Committee
Announced the beginning of
a capital campaign to raise
the final $1.5 million needed
toward the estimated renova-
tion costs of $12.5 million.
According to Don
Appelquist, executive direc-
tor, SFCC Foundation, the
bulk of the renovation will
be financed by state funds
and probably, matching
funds.
Donors can make cash
donations or pledge gifts that
they will make in install-
ments over three to five
years. Donations of stock,
real estate, life insurance,
and annuity trusts are being
accepted. Bequests and other
planned gifts are also being
sought to pay for improve-
ments to the auditorium in
years to come. "We hope to
get a small endowment that
will pay for new stage cur-
tains, seats, and so forth,"
Appelquist said
Those who make substan-
tial donations can claim the
naming rights to any of the
auditorium's three new lob-.
bies, one. of its 20 side boxes
of seats, or even the entire *

Auditorium will be transformed by an extensive renovation.


auditorium. With a one-time
gift of $500, donors can pur-
chase a memorial plaque for
one of the seats in the audi-
torium to recognize them-
selves or a loved one.
Everyone who makes a
donation of $100 or more
will be listed on a donor's
wall-in the new auditorium.
.All gifts are tax deductible
and should be made out to
the SFCC Foundation, 13 E.
Main St., Avon Park, FL
33825. Anyone wishing to
make a planned gift or
pledge a non-cash gift may
contact Appelquist at 453-
3133.
"The most important thing
is that it helps to perpetuate
the arts in Highlands, Hardee
and DeSoto counties,"
Appelquist said. "Were it not
for this auditorium, hundreds
of art performances would
not have been performed,
and thousands upon thou-
sands of people would not
have been able to see them."
Serving on the' Capital
Campaign Steering
Committee are Bill and Lisa
Jarrett, co-chairs, Doug
Andrews, Joan Hartt, Joey


Sacco, Dr. Norman L.
Stephens Jr., Swan Lee,
Deanne Shanklin, Lana
Puckorius, Timothy Cook,
Rick Moyer, John Shoop,
and Appelquist.
When the renovation is
complete, patrons will enjoy:
New and larger lob-
bies: The main lobby will
double in size from 2,400 to
5,200 square feet. The audi-
torium will have a total of
three lobbies, which will
serve as galleries for the
SFCC Museum-of Florida
Art and Culture (MOFAC).
A roomier orchestra
section: The orchestra sec-
tion will be reconfigured for
1,005 seats, which will be
more comfortable and pro-
vide more leg room than cur-
rent seating. Rows of seats
will move 25 feet closer to
the stage, enhancing the cul-
tural experience for patrons.
Balcony/side box seat-
ing:,A new second floor will
boast a 349-seat balcony and
10 side boxes with a total of
184 seats. The second floor
will have restrooms and
more comfortable seating for
people with disabilities.

jumped all over heart disease
and stroke by participating in
'Jump Rope For Heart.
The students raised more
than $5,800 for the American

disease and stroke and also

fessional education programs.
Heart disease is the number
one killer in America and

Lady Panthers 'open' with a split


News-Sun photo by DAN HOEHNE
Amanda Leiter takes a cut Tuesday as her two RBI helped the Lady Panthers open the
Suncoast Conference schedule by splitting a double-header with Polk Community College.
Right: Lara Helton takes the throw just in time to nab this Polk runner on a sacrifice bunt
Tuesday at the Lady Panther diamond. '.


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
AVON PARK Prior to
their Suncoast Conference
schedule opener Tuesda),
South Florida Lady Panther
head coach Carlos. Falla
wanted his team to know one
thing that the real season
was now beginning.
"The season starts now,"
he told his squad. "Right
now, we're 0-0."
But the double-header split
with 'the visiting Lady
Vikings of Polk Community
College proved -to be a con-
tinuation of
the ups and
51 downs the
1 team had seen
PCC through the
season up
5 until that:
p U point.
"I'm happy
that we got the win," Falla
said of the second-game, 5-0,
victory Tuesday- "But it's
frustrating that it seems to
take a game before they get
warmed up and ready 'to
play."
The win certainly saw a
team ready to play, as
Lindsey Andree pitched the
seven-inning shutout, backed
by a stingy defense and solid
hitting.
Kayla Cross and Amanda
Leiter each collected two
RBI in the contest and
Cassady Faircloth picked up
the other for SFCC.
The game was a complete


turnaround from the opener, a
5-1 loss that had Falla befud-
dled.
"We didn't show up," he
said. "They didn't adjust. We
had seen their pitcher and I
told them to all move up in
the. box. But for five innings
they were all hitting in their
own spots and didn't do any-
thing to make an adjustment
to the pitcher."'
That meant five innings
with one, chopping, infield
hit as the only mark on the
home-team side of the score-
board.
So maybe it didn't take a
full game for the team to
warm up, maybe, it's more a
five-inning thing. as it was in
the sixth that the Panthers


started to play.
I Or maybe it took a big play
to get the momentum going,
as a diving catch by Missy
Landers in left in the top of
the inning helped stem a
Viking threat and the offense
seemed to then get in gear.
Lara Helton reached on. a
hit by pitch in.the bottom of
the frame and with two out,
consecutive singles by Kara
Watson and Fairdloth brought
her in.
After Breanna "Rocket"
Beckel retired Polk in order
in the top of the seventh,
walks to Robbielyn Roberson
iand Allie Fried surrounded a
Leiter sacrifice to pose, a

Yates rallies for


win over


Central Security


Special to the Ne'ws-Sun
LAKE PLACID The
Michelle Yates Insurance
team came from five runs
down to squeak by the luck-
less Central Security team
on Wednesday. March 11 at
the Lake June ballfields.
Shortstop Paul Brand led
the winning effort in the
field where he played out his'
body to catch a line shot
Sand later/to make a similar
catch to start a double play,
while going 2-for-3 at bat.
The 60-year old; multi-
talented, Virginia native has
lived and, worked in
Minnesota for the past 30
years.
Brand 'is a newspaper
columnist : for the
Minnesota Star Tribune and.
host of "Auto" lae Pl
Talk" every -Soa
Saturday and, ta
Sunday on ..

Throu g h Schoonl ,

nology, he is Cnt. Security
able to con-
tinue those activities during
his time as a winter resident
of the Lake Placid area with
his wife.Jeri.
In addition, he works as
an instructor at the Skip
Barber Racing School at the
Sebring airport.
Other than that, he is not
very busy.
Dave Holloway and
Harvey Jones were 3-for-3,
manager Dusty Hensley
was 2-for-3 and Harlan
Newby made a rolling catch
outside the third-base line
to preserve the victory for
Yates,
For most of the game, it
looked like Central
Security was going to break
their six-game losing
streak.
Yet, in spite of Dana
Hurlbut, Larry Oser and


Jim Hensley all having
N three hits, including dou'-
bles, and Cal Bready chip-
ping in his usual three hits,
they came up short.
Play on the other field

R15 TDI introduced


Continued from 1B
TDI engine producing more
than 600 hp, with a maximum
torque output in excess of
1,050 Newton meters and
which reflects the latest ver-
sion of the TDI Technology
invented by Audi.
The power unit is more
compact and lighter than the
12-cylinder engine used in
the preceding R10 TDI
model.
The specific fuel consump-
tion and associated C02
emissions could also be
reduced.
Innovations in the turbo-
charging and fuel injection
areas simultaneously ensure
improved engine response.
The R15 TDI is also
equipped with a new genera-
tion of even lighter diesel
particle filters.
The new sports car's aero-
dynamics, which play a par-
ticularly important role at Le
Mans, are extremely refined.
Like the DTM 2008 cham-
pionship winning Audi A4,
the airflow around and
through the car was opti-
mized with CFD
(Computational Fluid
Dynamics).
Included among the many
innovative detail solutions
which can be spotted at first
glance are a rear wing sus-
pended from the top and a
high nose.

Innovative vehicle


electrical system concept
The vehicle electrical sys-
tem in the Le Mans sports car
is entirely new: A lithium-ion,
battery, as found in some
hybrid vehicles, is used for
the first time.
It is. lighter than the con-
ventional battery and sup-
plies a higher voltage.
The headlights fitted to the
R15 TDI also benefit from
the higher power.
At Le Mans, Audi com-
petes for the first time with a
low beam unit comprised
entirely of light emitting
diodes, which represents the
next generation of Audi LED


technology for road cars.
Innovative approaches
Numerous innovative
approaches are also hidden in
the chassis and suspension of
the diesel sports car.
Due to the aerodynamic
concept the front and rear
suspension have been raised.
Thanks to a longer wheel-
base and the optimized vehi-
cle weight the R15 TDI is
significantly more agile than
its predecessor.
The American Le Mans
Series will open its llth sea-
son with the 57th Mobil 1
Twelve Hours of Sebring pre-
sented by Fresh from Florida


on Saturday, March 21.
SPEED will televise the
race live from 10 a.m. to
noon and 2-11 p.m. ET.

threat.
But a shot toward right
was cut off by the Viking
second basegirl for the
game-ending double play.
"That's not how you
want to start out," Falla
said.
And it hadn't seemed the
way they would start out
after finishing the Polk
Tournament the previous
weekend on a strong note.
An up and down first day


of the tournament on
Saturday had'the team 1-2
with a win over
Hillsborough.
\ On Sunday, the team had
looked impressive in
downing Weber
International, 3-1, and
even moreso in a 1-0 loss
to Central Florida.
"We really played well
that game, "Falla had said.
"Our pitching and defense
were real good and gave up
just two hits. The tough


part is we were hitting the
ball, but kept hitting it right
at people. Even their coach
said, a few feet difference
on those hits and it's a
totally different game."
The team.hosted Pasco-
Hernando Thursday as the
conference schedule con-
tinued before the Panthers
head to Ocala for a confer-
ence rematch with Central
Saturday, hoping for few
less .at'em balls and a less-
than five-inning warm-up.


St. Pete rallies late to


top Panthers


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
Early promise gave way
to missed opportunities and
a late-inning downfall as
the South
SPC Florida
Panthers
9 lost their
SFCC f ou r.t h
straight, a
3 9-3 loss at
SS t .
Petersburg
Wednesday night.
"We really got off the
bus well, the guys were
locked in," head coach
Rick Hitt said. "We
showed a quality approach
at the plate, and (starting
pitcher) Adam Simmons
really had them where he
wanted them most of the
day."
That, and a three-run
Austin Gaines homer in the
third inning had staked
SFCC to a 3-1 lead.
But then the missed
chances to build on the'
lead came into play.
"We had two guys on in
the fifth and lined into a
double play," Hitt said.
"With a runner on and no
outs in the sixth we got
picked off and in had two
on in the eighth and could

that would be all SFCC could muster in a 9-3 loss at St.
Petersburg.


not get it done."
In the meantime, the
Titans scratched (and were
helped) to two unearned
runs in the sixth and two
'more runs, one earned, in
the seventh.
"They're a very talented
club and eventually their
hitters took over," Hitt
said. "The bottom line is,
guys that have been mak-


ing plays for us need to get
back to making plays."
A home run in the four-
run eighth for St. Pete pro-
vided for the final margin.
South Florida gets
another chance at the
Titans in a home date at 6
p.m. tonight at Panther
Field.
"We need to be ready to
go.

Go forward when man says no,

but God says yes to see salvation


While attending a recent
church service, Rev. Ancrum
delivered a powerful mes-
sage that I will share with
you. He told us to go for-
ward and progress. He said,
"Unless you go forward with
what God has put before
you, you won't see the sal-
vation of God."
It's up to you to do what's
put before you, no one can
do it for you and you must
be willing to do the things
God has placed before you
and believe he will be there
with you to the end.


The Bottom
Line
Decaris T. Jones Sr.
Go forward when man
says no, God says yes. Stand
on God's word and not what
man has to say about you.
Continue to push forward,
even though everything
appears to be against you,
God will carry you through.
As a church, not just this
church, but all churches, we
must sacrifice and stick
together, trust God and we


don't have to worry about
tomorrow.
Are you ready to go for-
ward and progress or do you
want to stay in the same old
drought you're in and have
pity parties the rest of your
Christian life? -
Stop whining and crying
about what's wrong and start
doing what's right. And
that's "The Bottom Line."

DeCaris T Jones Sr. is a member
of The New Greater Mt..Zion
AME Church of Sebring. He ref-
erences Exodus 14:15-16 (15)
and Joshua 1:1-6.

spectators. Consequently,
people who have been
hesitant in the past have
brought their cars for a one
time display. That means
this show has vehicles that

Corinthians 15:10-14 says,
"But by the grace of God I
am what I am, and his grace
to me was not without effect.
No, I worked harder than all
of them-yet not I, but the
grace of God that was with
me. Whether, then, it was I
or they, this is what we
preach, and this is what you
believed. But if it is
preached that Christ has
been raised from the dead,
how can some of you say
that there is no resurrection
of the dead? If there is no
resurrection of the dead,
then not even Christ has
been raised. And if Christ
has not been raised, our
preaching is useless and so
is your faith." From this
Scripture the pastor will
preach the sermon "Our
Faith Must Represent Jesus."
