SEBRING Warm. perfect Florida weath-
er greeted race aficionados during the annual
Taste of the Race held on the Circle in down-
town Sebring on Thursday.
"This is great weather for this," said Sarah
Pallone, event organizer and President of the
Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce.
Food vendors dotted the circle and gave
visitors a chance to taste standard racing-fare
and take pictures of the cars.
"Our crowds are a little larger this year, and
we have a great turnout of cars." Pallone said.


According to Pallone, the Chamber has
hosted the event since it was called
Downtown Tech, an event when the cars were
brought downtown for technical inspection.
Several Porches, Mini Coopers and Austins
were on hand this year including cars driven
by famous racers like Paul Newman, Steve
Piantieri, and "Pistol" Pete Smith.
"I think this is the most cars we have had
here since it was Downtown (Tech)," Pallone
,said.
"It's a great day for people to get out and'
enjoy the race and downtown Sebring."
Pallone added.

Cutolo and

Landry named

top cops of '08
By CHRISTOPHER
TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.com
SEBRING Corporal
Michael Cutolo and Officer
Chad Landry were named
2008 police officers of the
year during the city ,council's
regular meeting Tuesday
night.
They were recognized for
their dedication and effective-
ness by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars Post 4300 at the
same time.
"During this past year
Corporal Cutolo shared the
role of both a patrol officer
and watch commander with
great success.
"He completed 65 incident
reports, made 25 arrests and
issued 27 traffic citations,"
Police Chief Tom Dettman
said. "Corporal Cutolo is rec-
ognized for the character
qualities compassion, deter-
mination and endurance."
Dettman was as compli-
mentary about Landry who
completed 130 incident
reports, made 65 arrests and
issued 129 traffic citations.
Dettman "described in par-
ticular an incident that
occurred June 7 at City Pier
Beach.
"Prior to the officers arrival
the distressed swimmer disap-
peared underwater and did not
return to the surface. Upon
arriving, both officers imme-
diately removed their duty
gear and entered the waters of
Lake Jackson in an attempt to
rescue the potential drowning
victim, even to the point of
exhaustion. Sadly, and despite
their best efforts, the victim
perished. Both officers were
visibly upset when they were
unable to save the victim."
Cutolo has served with the
Sebring police department for
six and a half years. Landry
will complete his second year
with the department in April.
"Corporal Cutolo and
Officer Landry are excellent
examples for other officers to
follow. I commend (these
men) for the fine job they
have done. They are truly
Sebring's finest," Dettman
said.

Sanchez named APYA

Employee of the Year


By ED BALDRIDGE
ed.baldridge@newssun.com
AVON PARK The
Avon Park Youth Academy
recently chose Connie
Sanchez as its 2008
Employee of the Year.
Sanchez, a 10-year veter-
an of the Academy, also
received the Employee of
the Month designation in
February 2008.
In fact, that is how she
was chosen for the yearly
honor.
According to Pete
Zeegers, APYA director,
Sanchez was one of 12
employees nominated for
the honor, which resulted
initially in a three-way tie.
"Everyone who receives
Employee of the Month is
automatically nominated
for Employee of the Year,
and the facility votes for
their choice. This is the first
year we have had a three-
way tie, and Connie was
chosen in the run-off,"
Zeeger said.
Sanchez, a mother of
three two sons and one
daughter also has seven
grandchildren. She says she
has a real heart for the kids
under the facility's care.
After spending most of
her life living in Colorado,
she started her career in law
enforcement in 1992 work-
ing for the Avon Park
Correctional Institute,
which shares the same com-
pound area as the APYA.
She made the move to the
Academy in 1998.
"I started as a floor work-
er in the youth care facili-
ties, so I understand where
the kids are coming from. I
then moved into. a parapro-
fessional position in the

education department,"
Sanchez said.
From there, Sanchez
worked her way up to an
administrative assistant
position and then became a
case manager before taking
her current job as the
Behavior Health Overlay
Services billing director.
"I do whatever needs to
be done, and I help out in
several areas, but I like the
paperwork," said Sanchez,
whose daily duties include
working through the com-
plicated Medicaid billing
process.
"I still get to see the kids,
and I try to get outside of
the administrative building
to walk through and visit
sometimes, but I like my
job here," Sanchez said.
Zeegers also commented
on Sanchez's paperwork
knack.
"She is very thorough.
Our facility would not be as
strong without her. When
you deal with government
paperwork, it's gotta be
right, and she always. has it
, right," Zeegers said.
As part of her honors,
Sanchez gets to use a con-
venient, up-close parking
spot for the year.
Additionally, she was
awarded three days and two
nights for two at a resort of
her choice in Florida.

Hugely popular 'Story of Jesus
By ROMONA WASHINGTON !
editor@newssun.com
WAUCHULA -For the past 23
years, the Easter holiday is marked
with the production of 'Story of Jesus,'
a play that involves no less than 250
cast members and 50 crew members ,
from all over central Florida and about
150 animals of all kinds. ".
'Story of Jesus' is just what it sounds
like ... the story of Jesus. '
,Scenes of this very realistic passion
play do change from year to year and
some new ones are introduced, but the
major scenes the manger, crucifixion,
resurrection never change.
Taking place at the Cattlmen's Arena
in Wauchula, the play includes a large
number of people from Highlands
County. .
Mike Graham, producer and direc-
tor, said there is a. large majority of
people taking part this year who are
repeat participants. "Their commit-
ment is very high and very unusual," '..
he said.
He estimates 80 percent of the cast
members return year after year. Some,
he said, have been involved since
1987.
The cast reflects all walks of life and
all ages. Graham said it is quite upusu-
al to have people from 40 different
churches working so well together for
one project. Some families also get
into the act, taking on various roles,
and Graham adds that it is not unusual
for a cast member to take on multiple -
roles..
"Everyone is treated as equal and as .'
important as the next person," he said,
explaining that regardless of age each -
cast member gets complete make up
and costumes.
And it's not just the cast that returns
year after year. About half of the audi-
ence make return visits, according to ."
the show of hands on.any given per- :
formance night.
This year's "Story of Jesus" opens at
7:30 p.m. tonight. The play will be per-
formed the weekends of March 20-21,
March 27-28, April 3-4, April 10-11
and April 17-18. All performances
begin at 7:30 p.m. .
Tickets are available for each night's 'Scenesfrom 'Stor
performance. Most seats are $16, .' just before Jesus i

children and groups of 25 and more. To (above) and Jesus

Steps taken to

build a theater
By ROMONA WASHINGTON
editor@newssun.com
WAUCHULA Power and Light
Production, a non-profit production com-
pany and ministry behind the 'Story of
Jesus,' does not have "one red cent at this
point," but it has some very big dreams
that are one step closer to becoming reali-
ty.
Mike Graham, producer and director of
the passion play, said the group hopes to
raise enough money to build its own facil-
ity on 40 acres donated by Davis Family
Properties.
Between Zolfo Springs and Sebring on
State Road 66, Graham describes it as an
excellent location for an open air auditori-
um.
The first step, he said, will be to form a
second board that will oversee raising the
necessary funds for the project. LaVon
Cobb is chairing that board.
"The 'Story of Jesus' just about breaks
even with the performances. Occasionally
we will make some money, but last year we
just broke even and this year we will be
doing well if we can do that," Graham said.
An architect in Tulsa, Okla., has drawn
up a floor plan for the 2,000-seat theater.
"It will be the only thing of its kind in this
part of the state," Graham said.
The facility will look like a Bible city
from the road with'a Jerusalem motif,
Graham said. The theater will have a roof,
but will be open air to accommodate the
Space and action of the play. More impor-
.tantly to the attendees, he said, will be
S more comfortable and better visibility seat-
ing than what is offered at the Cattlemen's
S Arena.
Plans also call for the campus to be
made available to community groups for a
retreat center as well as camps for chil-
dren.
"It's all part of our dream," Graham
said.
As for those involved with "Story of
Jesus," Graham said the cast and crew are
anxious to take on additional plays. Scripts
are already in place for the "Story of
Courtesy photos Moses," and the "Story of Noah."

TODAY'S EDITORIAL


Have a zooming good


time, but do it safely


A warm welcome from all of us here
in Highlands County to those of
you who drove, flew or sailed a
sea to get here for the 12 Hours of
Sebring. Thank you for coming. We hope
you have a wonderful visit and take
home memories to last a lifetime.


This is our biggest celebra-
tion except for Christmas and
we look forward to your
arrival every year.
For 12 months those of us
who live for engines and
wheels can hardly wait. Then
comes the first exciting sign
- a recreational vehicle with
a "Sebring Raceway or Bust"
banner hanging on its side.
Slowly you visitors begin
to arrive. A trickle at first,
then a flood inundating the
county, filling the roads,
hotels and restaurants. Even
the air sparkles with your
wide variety of accents, our
streets filled with the new and
the different.
When we locals are lucky,
when the wind is right, we
become a part of it all, hearing
the sound of the powerful,
roaring whine of the race cars
as they practice and qualify
miles away, teasing our adre-
nal glands, making us itch


with excitement.
Then the week explodes
uporf us, to fly by as fast as
those modern, metal marvels
careen around track; the Race
pushing the engines, the tires,
the men, us; it is compelling.
At the track the ground
shakes there is so much power
and movement.
The crowd is at pitch peak,
its emotions stoked by
exhaust fumes, seared rubber
and sweat.
As abruptly it will be over.
Empty fields back where
whole cities of aluminum and
fiberglass had stood. Only the
faintest whiff of high octane
fuel is left to tickle the senses.
But what a rush while it
happens.
And it is just that rush we
need to keep under control.
Just because a race car driver
lurks within most of us, is no
excuse'to let him out on inno-
cent city streets.


In fact, we locals have our
work as hosts cut out for us -
answering questions, giving
directions, setting an exam-
ple.
We need to remember not
everyone knows where they
are going.
Be patient and prepared for
the drivers going slower, their
GPS units turned on, looking
for signs or landmarks, signal-
ing their intent at the very last
minute.
Leave more time to get
anywhere.
Look before stepping into a
street.
Be especially alert for those
who have been drinking, and
try not to be stupid your-
selves. Designated drivers do
save lives, and so does calling
a cab.
By all means relax and
have fun at the Race and all
the parties, but the best way to
enjoy the week is to stay out
of the hospital emergency
room or jail.
Race Week is a heady, very
feel-alive time, especially for
those who appreciate high-
tech machines. Please every-
one, enjoy the thrill safely.
Then come back next year for
more.

TODAY'S LETTERS


How much more rotten fruit
can we expect?
Editor:
I found Frank Parker's response to
Una V. McLaughlin's letter spiteful and
disrespectful. My name was removed (
from a church's membership rolls a. few
years ago by a minister who didn't like
the fact that I (a "mere" woman) had
spoken up to a man. This letter had that
same high-minded tone to it.
I always find it quite amusing' that
the people who quote the Bible all the
time can never seem to find the passage
about judging others lest ye be judged.
They can, however, find the passages
that fit their rant for the moment.
As for "You will know a tree by its
fruit," how much more rotten fruit can
we expect to find from the "tree" of
George W. Bush?
In all my years on this earth, I had
never contributed to a politician nor
campaigned for one. This past election
I did both. I could not be happier that
my President is Barack Hussein
Obama. For the first time in ever so
long, I don't cringe when I see the
President of the United States on TV.
Nuclear is pronounced correctly;
speeches have substance and make
sense; he is a kind person; and on and
on.
Since Mr. Parker is a prolific con-
tributor to this newspaper space, I
know that he will take me on in print,
but I could not sit silently by while he
disparaged the gentle Ms. McLaughlin.

Sooner, rather than later
Editor:
When President Obama was cam-
paigning for president, he let it be
known in no uncertain terms what his
position was on abortion.
In a speech to Planned Parenthood,
President Obama exclaimed that mak-
ing the Freedom of Choice Act the law
of the land, it was so important that it


would be "the first thing I'd do as
President."
In short, the Freedom of Choice Act
is a federal bill that would overturn all
current state and federal restrictions on
abortion.
This FOCA will end parental notifi-
cation or consent for abortions per-
formed on minors.
It will mandate taxpayer funding of
abortion.
It will allow abortions in military
hospitals:.
It will end waiting periods before
having an abortion.
It will overturn laws requiring
informed consent prior to abortion.
It will deny doctors the right to
refuse to perform abortion for religious
reasons.
It will force religious affiliated hos-
pitals and facilities to perform abor-
tions.
It will overturn many abortion clinic
health regulations.
It will overturn laws prohibiting
abortion after the viability of the child.
It will legalize partial-birth abortion.
It is an unlimited right to tax-payer
funded, abortion-on-demand.
President Obama and.the most anti-
life Congress in our nation's history
have declared war on the unborn!
Without intense pressure from pro-fam-
ily Americans, this FOCA will succeed.
The time for Pro-life Americans to
act is now. I encourage you and your
church membership to stand-up and
defeat this legislation. Sooner rather
than later, call, e-mail, write or visit
your Congressman and Senators today
and tell them to say NO to FOCA.

Many help keep the soup hot
Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone who contributed to
this year's "Soup Up the Arts"


fundraiser at Sebring High School. The
event was far more successful than the
Art Club could have ever expected.
Amazingly, we sold more than 500
bowls of soup this year.
Thank you to all of the sponsors that
made the "2009 Soup Up the Arts"
fundraiser possible. Donations were
graciously received from the following
donors: Publix, Outback Steakhouse,
Red Lobster, Blue Crab, Beef
O'Brady's, Mae Lee's, Chicanes, Lake
Placid Health Care, Panera Bread,
Brewsters, Taylor Rental, Roadhouse
Grill, Dr. Hulen, Latin American Cafe,
the Hebert family, Regina Blackman,
Blackman Properties, LLC., Dee's
Place, Sweetbay, Linda Hodge, Alan
Jay, Caddy Shack, and many, many
more.
All of the guests enjoyed the deli-
cious soups, breads, and desserts donat-
ed from these restaurants and sponsors.
Thank you to everyone from the com-
munity for showing your support
towards this fundraiser in what has
been a really tough economic year.
I would also like to thank Kim
Hendges, Laura Drummond and Rose
Vogt for helping in the cafeteria and
serving, apd our club sponsors Steve
VanDam and Jack VanDam.
This community and the parents and
faculty at Sebring High School contin-
ue to encourage the effort the Art Club
puts forth every year. We were able to
raise around $4,800 with half of the
proceeds being donated to Branson
Thayer, a 15-month-old local child with
neurological problems, to help with his
medical expenses. The remainder cov-
ers expenses and is the source of 2009
senior art scholarships at Sebring High
School.
Once again, thank you to everyone
that supports the visual arts in our com-
munity and at Sebring High School.
We look forward to seeing you next
year!
Emily Hendges
Art Club president

SFCC student mechanic applies education

through Panther Partners internship


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK Justin Moore's
hands may be stained with oil and
grease, but that means he's an auto
mechanic and he's doing a job he
loves.
"I've wanted to be a mechanic all
my life," Moore said. "My father had
a garage, and I started helping him
when I was 6. It kind of grew on
me."
Through South Florida Community
College's dual enrollment program,
Moore entered SFCC's Automotive
Service Technology .program as an
Avon Park High School student.
Lacking the funds he needed to finish
the program, he left after graduating
from high school.
A chance meeting with SFCC's
dual enrollment coordinator got
Moore back on track. He was invited
to find out how SFCC's Panther
Partners program could help him go
back to college and complete his
occupational certificate. Now, 18
months later, he is in the middle of a
one-term internship in the service
department of Bill Jarrett Ford-
Mercury, and he expects to receive
his occupational certificate in May.
Moore said the internship gives
him the opportunity to do "every-.
thing," from routine maintenance,
such as changing oil and tires, to
* more complicated jobs, such as
repairing motors in automatic win-
dows, replacing alternators, and per-
forming multiple point car inspec-,
tions.:
Eddie Cuencas, program specialist,
Panther Partners, said Moore was
selected to be the program's first
intern at Bill Jarrett Ford-Mercury
because he is responsible and dedicat-
ed, has a good work ethic. works well
with others, and has a great rapport
with his SFCC instructors.
"Cooperative internships are some-
thing Panther Partners provides,"
Cuencas said. "Classroom experience
gives them the fundamentals, but
real-life experiences are essential for
assuring them and us that they will
succeed."
Panther Partners is funded by
Heartland Workforce and adminis-
tered by SFCC's Division of Applied

Sciences for the purpose of helping
young people overcome financial and
educational challenges while they
train to become employed in techni-
cal occupations. The in-school por-
tion of the program serves high
school students ages 1.6-18, while the
out-of-school portion is for students
ages 16-22 who have either graduated
from high school or dropped out.
Broad in scope, Panther Partners
awards financial assistance to eligible
students, offers remedial education to
students who need to earn their high


eoth


school diplomas or pass the Florida
Comprehensive Assessment Test
(FCAT), and provides counseling. At
the same time, it works closely with
other public agencies, such as the
DeSoto County Department of
Children and Families and the
Department of Juvenile Justice, as
well as local employers who provide
vital on-the-job training to the partici-
pants. Currently, Panther Partners is
serving 46 students in Highlands.
DeSoto and Hardee counties.
"The success'of Panther Partners is
'U


based on the close relationship
between SFCC and Heartland
Workforce," Cuencas said. "I can't
emphasize this enough without the
support of both of these institutions,
this program wouldn't be possible."
Today, Moore is making plans for
the future and the opportunities it
will bring.
Once he earns his occupational
certificate, he plans to take the
Automotive Service Excellence
(ASE) exam and become a full-time
mechanic.
"Anything I needed, Panther
Partners helped me with books,
classes, internships," Moore said. "It
has made a difference."

Panther Partners and its eligibility
requirements, call Cuencas at 784-

Mark Chung, director of corporate strategy and planning for Yokohama, talks about the
new environmentally friendly Yokohama race tire that was used during the Patron GT3
Challenge series. The tire is made using orange oil and consumers can get their hands on
the street tire version of the tire this summer.

Orange oil tire hits track at Sebring


Continued from page 1A
The Yokohama Advan ENV-R1 race tire
the cars compete with will reduce petroleum
by approximately 10 percent and increase the
tires' recyclability while maintaining the high
performance levels of, previous race slick
compounds, a press release said.
"The ENV-Rls have performed very well
since our team's first test session at Sebring
in February," said Alex Job of Alex Job rac-
ing. "There's been a lot of speculation about
how these tires would perform and I have to.
say I'm very pleased with their perform-
ahce."
The consumer will soon see an impact
from Yokohama's developments in racing.


"There is a relation on what we learn with
race tires on the track," said Mark Chung,
director of corporate strategy and planning
for Yokohama. "We will release a tire this
summer targeting fuel-efficient vehicles."
The orange oil tires will have 20 percent
less rolling resistance than Yokohama's pre-
vious tire, increasing fuel economy.
The tires will be released in sizes aimed at
the eco-conscious consumer, for cars like the
Toyota Prius, Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota
Camry Hybrid, and Honda Accord Hybrid,
among others. The tire will be called the 'dB
Super E-spec. ,
Adding to the eco-friendly billing of the
new tires, 80 percent of materials used in
their production will be non-petroleum based


Manhunt captures two suspects


Continued from page 1A
The manhunt lasted two
hours and took place near the
Sun 'N Lakes south subdivi-
sion.


"We had dogs, our special
response teams, our
(Criminal Investigations
Unit) guys, Okeechobee
County Sheriff's Office,
Florida Highway Patrol,"
Labelle said. "Probably every
bit of 30 to 40 officers out
- there. It was a big perimeter."
- The large perimeter was
set up around the area just


north of State Road 70, and
by 2:30 p.m. Bozwell and
Lopez were apprehended.
Local officials believed at
least one of the fleeing sus-
pects was armed, but had not
recovered a weapon as of.
Wednesday afternoon.
Labelle said he did not
want to comment on a possi-
ble search for weapons, or if
any weapon recovered could
have been used in the
Okeechobee murder.
"We have Okeechobee
County detectives here as we
speak and the investigation

And Another
Thing...
Dan Hoehne

Wild week

indeed
As if my third go-around
with the annual 12-Hours of
Sebring week-long extrava-
ganza wasn't enough, I'm
realizing it annually coin-
cides with that other phe-
nomena. March Madness.
I've submitted my ESPN
Challenge sheet, so my fate
is sealed, no matter how
many changes I'd like to
make in the days immediate-
ly leading up to the first.
round of games.
I hope to improve on my
finish last year, which was
somewhere in the mid-hun-
dred thousands, but I won't
hold my breath and I already
did my rite of spring head
shave, so I cannot get myself
into any extra trouble mak-
ing silly 'dare-bets' based on
my outcome.
Though I didn't learn from
my two previous experiences
out at Sebring International
Raceway's pre-race week
festivities.
Let's just say, be grateful
I'm typing this and not
broadcasting it.
Otherwise, I'd be shouting
this all at you, as I somehow
forgot the %wonderful inven-
tion, the ear-plug. and soon
remembered that even during
all-class practice laps. the
noise is like turning your
iPod volume up to about
542.
But here's a weird twist
that showed just how small
this world is, and how mirac-
ulously odd things can be.
Just last night, Wednesday,
I came across an old friend
on Facebook and had a chat.
He asked where I was liv-
ing, and after he wasn't sure
where Sebring was. I of
course slammed him with all
the hype of the 12 Hours.
So he tells me I should
look up an ex girlfriend of
his who had since become a
mechanic in the racing field.
Turns out, she's a former
high school classmate of
mine, whose mom was my
third grade teacher, and sure
enough. her current
boyfriend races with Tripod
in a Mazda 6 Touring car,
and she'll be here this week-
end.
So often I get asked, when
someone finds out I'm from
suburban Chicago. 'how'd
you end up here.'
With another person from
my hometown about to
arrive, I guess the drawing
card is the 12 Hours.
And this was after I found
out a couple weeks ago, that
my high school prom date
has been down here for the
races as well.
The things that make a
wild week in Sebring even
wilder.

Streaks battle back to


excise rival Red Devils


By ED BALDRIDGE
ed.bdldridge@newssun.com
SEBRING The
Sebring Blue Streaks fought
back to pull out a 6-4 win
over Avon Park Tuesday
night at Firemen's Field in
the age-old, cross-county
batt .
"Their pitcher did Seb
well," said Sebring
head coach Hoppy
Rewis about the
seven inning battle. Avoi
"Avon Park is always
tough."' ,
That pitcher,
Dylan Heiring, start-
ed and finished for Avon
'Park, dishing out eight
strike-outs and just two
walks to the Streaks.
Avon Park picked up two
quick runs in the top, of the
first inning when Ty

Jackson batted in Matt
Rivera and then was
brought home by Densby
Jackson with a sacrifice fly.
,The Red Devils would
pick up one more in the top
of the second when Jeff
Fallis seized the RBI.
But the Sebring
ring squad did not let go
of an opportunity in
the bottom of the
fourth when they
Park brought two home
I on a Red Devil error
and a Cody Higgins
hit.
Sebring's Jesse
Baker then cleaned tip,
bringing home Higgins and
Kevin Welborn. grabbing
two RBI, and putting the
Streaks out front 4-3.
Avon Park would score
again in the seventh, but


could not catch the Streaks
before Higgins. put the
Devils away to finish the 6-
4 win for Sebring.
"I am happy with our
play. If we can continue to
play like that, we will start
winning," said Jackson,
Avon Park's head coach.
"We are getting better,
that's all we can do for now.
We made just one error, we
rallied back, and the kids
listened to us and put some
rupners on base, we just
didn't get them home."
The Devils travel to
Frostproof for a Friday
night matchup with the
Bulldogs while Sebring
faced St. Albans of
Washington D.C. Thursday
before hosting Palmetto in
district play Friday.

Runners may pruegister for $15-or
register the day of the event for $20. If
.they raise $50 or more in pledges from
their community, however, the run is
free.
Last year's field had more than 80 par-
ticipants, thanks in part to holding the
run early in the day and earlier in the
year, when more people could partici-
pate. The local Red Cross decided to
keep the same tradition this year.
Red Cross volunteers will man an.'aid
station for thirsty or hungry runners at
the start/finish line. Bananas are courtesy
of L&D Produce in Sebring. -
The run starts on Hammock Road in
-the park near the CCC Museum area, fol-
lowing the paved drive-arou nd path in
Highlands Hammock State Park, past the
old homestead, the Charlie Creek Trail,
and the amphitheater, before heading
back to the CCC Museum area.
Participants may run, jog, trot, or walk
finishing the course in a fast time or a
comfortable pace, as long as they get out
for some fun and exercise.
To register, download a form at polk-
countyfl.redcross.org or contact the
Highlands Red Cross at (863) 386-4440
or hcarc0Pvistanet.net.
Send your form with fee or pledges to
Highlands Red Cross, 106 Medical
Center Ave., Sebring, FL 338'70.
Sponsorships are still available for the
Run. Come forward and support your
local American Red Cross.
Tough economic timesi have reduced
financial support for the Red Cross, but
disaster responses continue. Local home
fires remain the most common Red Cross
disaster response.
You never know when an emergency
may occur, but knowing what to do can
save a life.

Panthers paste Polk


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssiiun.com
AVON PARK The
bumpy ride, .of late, contin-
ued with a bump up
Wednesday as South
Florida atoned for a 9- S:
4 loss Monday with a
12-3 win over the Polk
County Vikings
Wednesday night at P
Panther Field.
After giving up an .
unearned run in the
opening inning, the
SFCC (22-6, 3-5) offense got
on track, answering right
back with runs in the first and
second before a four-run
fourth bulged, the lead.
"We had some early mis-
takes that lead to some runs
again," head coach Rick Hitt
said. "It was about to turn my
entire head white. But then
our bats got going."
From there, starting pitch-
er Adam Simmons settled in
and went the whole way,
striking out seven, to move


F

I
'C


his record to 4-3 on the sea-
son for the freshman former
Blue Streak.
"Adam was just a plain old
warrior out there," Hitt said.
"He had a four-pitch
CC inning, a nine-pitch
S inning. At times he
just took over the
game.,
IC "His 'pitch count
I was a little higher
than we'd like," Hitt
continued. "But in the
ninth, he was still so strong
and he finished it up."
Jerry Neufang continued
his strong season, muscling
one against the wind for 'a
home run, his 13th of the sea-
son, among his two hits,
while Austin Gaines contin-
ued his hot hitting with a 4-
for-5 effort.
The busy Panther schedule
continues tonight with a
rematch with Polk at Winter
Haven before the team heads
to Bradenton to face Manatee
Saturday at 2 p.m.

Sebring Principal Toni Stivender and Athletic Director Terry Quarrels flank Sebring
Firemen Inc. President Jonathan Spiegel as he presents the high school with a check
for $44,000. The money, raised through various fundraising events throughout the
year by the Firemen, goes to help the Blue Streak athletics as well as other activities,
such as the band, each year. "We also hold barbecues to help out the middle schools,"
Spiegel said. "It's really all about helping the children and the community." And help it
does. "You have no idea the pressure this takes off Terry and I," Stivender said, and
Quarles agreed. "Without this, the travel to away games would be very hard," she said.
"This means we'll be able to get the kids to all the games next year and i~t allows our
coaches to only have to worry about equipment and coaching the kids."

Highlands High School Roundup

St. Patty's day meet goes red


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.conm
It seemed appropriate that
the Green Dragons of Lake
Placid hosted a track meet on
St. Patrick's Day, but the
winning color, turned out to
be the red of Avon Park as
they Devils won both the
boys and girls side of the
rain-shortened meet.
Through the 21 completed
events, the Red Devil boys
totaled 73'.83 points to
Sebring's '53.17, Lake
Placid's 42 and Walker
Memorial's 7.
The Lady Devils had 83
points to top the field, fol-
lowed. by Sebring with 51
and the Lady Dragons with
48.
Avon Park had winning
events from Steven
Robinson, in the 110-meter
hurdles, Teddy Allen, in both
the shot put and discus, and
saw the Knight's, Desmoine
and Travious, go first and
second in the triple jump.
On the girls side, Ch'quen
Wilmont raced to a win in the
100-meter dash and was part
of a 1, 2, 3 Avon Park finish
in the long jump.
Jamee Hawthorne won the
event with a leap of 15-feet,
5.25-inches, followed by
Beonca Godfrey's 13-feet,
8.5-inches and Wilmont's 13-


feet, 2.5-inches.
Tia Nobles got a Lady
Devil win in the discus and
C. Hughley won the shot put
with a throw of 29-feet, 5-
inches.
Dragons best Bulldogs
Lake Placid earned a dis-
trict win Tuesday by topping
visiting Frostproof 4-2.
Colby Delaney had the big
blow for the Dragons, a
bases-loaded double that was
backed up by the three-hit
complete game tossed by
Perry Mason.
The win moves the team to
2-4 in the District 10-3A
standings as they faced
Clewiston, Thursday, and
head to the coast to face
Sarasota Booker Saturday.,
Lady Devils whip
Hardee Wildcats
Avon Park softball brought
its' District 10-4A record
back to an even .500, 3-3,
with a 10-0, mercy-rule win
over visiting Hardee Tuesday
night.
Amber Tindell went the
whole way, letting up just
one hit in six innings of work
while Janise Perry and
Favianette Cotte had three
and two hits, respectively to
lead the Devil offense.
The team hosted


Frostproof in noni-district
action Thursday night before
rejoining the district slate at'
Braden River tonight.
Streaks double up
on Green Dragons
The Sebring boys and girls
tennis teams got the best of
Lake Placid Tuesday with the
former match going 4-1 and
the latter 7-0.
The Blue Streak boys
stayed perfect in match-play
on the season at 10-0, getting
wins from Mike Reed, Kyle
Komisar, Nikhil Raghuveera
and Vihang Nikhate in the
singles matches before the
doubles were washed out by
rain.
Martin Oseguera got Lake
Placid's win at number one
singles with a straight-set
victory.
The Lady Streaks got wins
from Kelsie Johnson, Kaley
Walter, Alyssa Kariofyllis,
Kelsey Tucker and Shana
Bassett in singles to move to
6-1 on the season.
The Lady Dragons for-
tunes were better on Monday
as wins from Jessica Landers,
Ana Heredia, Johneesia
Sholtz in singles and a win in
doubles from Jalitza Serano
and Landers to get past
DeSoto, 4-3.

Miss Lake Placid helps at
Father-Daughter dance


Special to the News-Sun
LAKE PLACID The
First Presbyterian Church
Friendship Hall took on a
festive air recently as
fathers and grandfathers
escorted daughters' of all
ages to a dance just for
them.
Fathers with more than
one daughter managed to
find a way to dance, carry
and otherwise create a spe-
cial place on the floor for
their young ladies. The
event was a project of the
.Women's Ministries of the
church. Sandy White
planned the details, assisted
by mothers of the girls.
Fingerfoods were donated
by members of the
Ministries group.
When the fathers were
ready for a needed rest
from an afternoon of non-
stop dancing, the daughters
learned some new moves
from Miss Lake Placid
Taylor Conklin, who gra-
ciously accepted the invita-
tion to attend the affair. An
accomplished dancer,
Taylor, wearing her crown
and looking very much the


NI rz vs -SIm


star of the show, enter-
tained all generations pres-
ent as she explained the lat-
est steps on the dance floor.
This was the third year
for the project and it was.
agreed that the fathers have
come a long way in picking
up the dance styles of
today.

Will-you take the

next step?
Have you ever traveled
in unfamiliar territory and
come to a crossroads and
thought, "Which, way
should I go?" If you fail
to make the right choice,
you may travel several '
miles in the wrong direc-
tion.
Timeless But you do have anoth-
"er option; how about
Treasures stopping to ask someone
Luke who knows the area? This
Knickerbocker will guarantee you will
end up in the right place.
When it comes to life; many drift from
one direction to another, never knowing
which way is right. Proverbs 16:9 says, "A
man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord
directeth his steps," We must realize that the
very God who made us also gave us a Book
of instructions for life. Psalm 37:23 says,
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the
LORD: and he delighteth in his way." There
is no substitute for God's will for your life.
The true path of life begins at Calvary.
When we come, to the cross where Jesus
died and receive Christ to be our sayior, we
are then placed on the pathway of eternal
life. Jesus said in John 14:6, "1 am the way
... no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me."
The first thing God asks of us is to turn
from our sin and trust Christ to save us. The
next step after salvation is obedience by
baptism and joining a local church.
Paul experienced this in his life and
records it in Acts 9. He had traveled a diffi-
cult path before knowing Christ. When he
entered the way of Christ, he was. not prom-
ised an easy course. Instead, he was prom-
ised the power of God to walk the way of
Christ. The way of Christ requires sacrifice.
This includes giving our heart to Christ, and
yielding our lives to him.
We then find Paul growing in the Word of
God and being a vocal witness to others
around him. He sacrificed his time, energy,
money and health to the work of God and
preaching the Gospel. Each of these actions
demonstrated maturity in his life.
Consider where you are on the path God
intends for you to travel. Have you taken the
first step of faith in Jesus? Are you willing
to take the next step and obey Him today?
Luke Knickerbocker is the pastor of Bethel Baptist
Church in Lake Placid, Florida, located on 216 E.
Park St. E-mail him at knickprint@yahoo.com.

S "Miracle in the Woods"

4- own. Against her mother's
wishes, Sarah's rebellious

for a figure from her past.
.Gina is touched by Lilly's
-- heartbreaking. life story and


becomes determined to find
her long-lost son.
An extra feature, a love
story in time, will also be
shown. A mother's ultimate
sacrifice is at the heart of
this incredible true story
from the television series,
"It's a Miracle," hosted by
Richard Thomas and Nia
Peeples. Years after surviv-
ing one of history's darkest
chapters, Herman
Rosenblatt meets a young
woman with a miraculous

ment in a concentration

tion for the double feature.
