Fair Association

wants to build*

convention center


Firemen's Field
facility would
hold up to 3,500
By CHRISTOPHER
TUFFLEY
christopher.tuffley@newssun.com
SEBRING Skip
Adams, president of the
Highlands County Fair
Association, appeared
before the city council dur-
ing its regular meeting
Tuesday to present plans for
a proposed convention cen-
ter the association wants to
build at Firemen's Field.
Adams was not seeking a
go-ahead Tuesday, but was
seeking the council's initial
reaction to the design
before continuing with .the
multiple-step approval
process.
The plans must be
reviewed and approved by
the Planning and Zoning,
Board and the Community
Redevelopment Agency,
and public hearings have to
be held for citizen input
before the council makes a
final decision.
Because the council is the
final arbiter, however, if it
was outright opposed to the


plans Adams wanted to go
ahead and create a plan B
rather than waste any fur-
ther time and effort on plan
A.
The council did, with
some reservations, approve
the concept.
But, as council member
John Griffin pointed out,
two members of the council
were not at the meeting, and
the 2-1 vote in favor might
change when the full coln-
cil met.
The Fair Association has
been wanting to build a
convention center since
2002 when it first
approached the council with
the idea. Both the city and
the county were supportive.
Funding issues, however,
delayed the project for
years.
Now a $2 million grant
has been obtained from the
state money that is
unlikely to be available
again any time soon.
"This is an opportunity
we've never had before,"
Adams said. "We want to
take full advantage of it. If
we don't proceed, the dol-

AUDI GETS














Kramer tapped from District Office for APMS principal position


By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy@newssun.com
SEBRING After starting her
teaching career in Sebring and
heading to administration at Lake
Placid, Katina Kramer will return to
Avon Park, where she grew up and
attended school, to take the helm of
Avon Park Middle School.
Retiring Principal Dan Johnson
told Superintendent Wally Cox
over Christmas break that he
planned on retiring at the end of the
2008-'09 school year, and that pro-
vided Kramer the chance she had
been waiting for.
"The biggest reason, well one of
the reasons I decided to put in for


the Avon Park job, it's my commu-
nity," she said. "I live locally ... I
have a son in kindergarten in Park
Elementary, I felt it was a way I
could give back to the community."
This was something Cox noticed
about the Avon Park middle and
\ high school graduate.
"When I talked to her you could
tell there was a lot of excitement to
go back to her home school," he
said.
"She was really passionate about
going back to her community and
making a difference for a school
that did a lot of things for her."
Roughly 11 years ago Kramer
started her teaching career at


Sebring Middle Sqhool.
The last of the seven years she
spent there were split between
being a part-time dean and part-
time teacher as she
worked on her mas-
ter's degree in edu-
cation leadership..
After earning her
master's, Kramer
S was ready to take a
Kramer higher position in
the district and left
SMS to become the assistant princi-
pal at Lake Placid Middle School.
Two years later she left LPMS to
take her current job at the district
office as director of secondary pro-


grams, which she said helped pre-
pare her for the challenges ahead.
"I honestly feel like it gave me an
overall district-wide view of where
our students are headed," she said.
"It gave me a more global under-
standing of curriculum .... from
(kindergarten) all the way though
college, to be honest."
Looking back on her nearly two
years in that position, she said she
saw the opening at the district level
as an "opportunity."
"It gave me a background knowl-
edge of policy," she said.
As she gradually moved further
away from student interaction over
the years she began to miss working


with students.
"I'm at a computer ... I don't get
into the schools as much as I want-
ed to," she said about her position at
the district office.
"Working with students is some-
thing I couldn't live without ... the
reason we go into teaching is to be
around students."
With an in-house promotion,
Kramer leaves a position at the dis-
trict office open.
Cox is "not sure" whether he will
keep the position vacant during the
tough financial year ahead but will
make his suggestion to the school
board this week.


Shooting

rumor

sparks

concern.,

Was connected
to earlier
Wal-Mart rumor
By TREY CHRISTY
trey.christy@newssun.com
SEBRING Rumors
of a shooting taking place
at Sebring High School
Friday morning circulated
wildly across the commu-
nity.
"I personally got some
calls from people in'
Sebring asking about it,"
said Capt. Paul Blackman
of the Highlands County
Sheriff's Office. "No
credible information came
in that there was going to
be a shooting, but we took
some precautionary meas-
ures just in case."
According to one SHS
employee, who wished to
remain anonymous, par-
ents were calling all
morning worried about
the alleged shooting and
there were a very large
number of students
absent.
Blackman said' he
believed the rumor was a-
spin-off of the Wal-Mart
.gang initiation murder
hoax, reported by the
News-Sun Web site on
Thursday.
'We started getting the
calls (about a SHS shoot-
ing) yesterday," he said
Friday. "It was just tied
into that whole other
hoax, someone had put a
spin on it that it was at the
high school and not Wal-
Mart; that's totally,
untrue."
The SHS employee said
a lot of the students could
be using this as an excuse
to skip school and head
out to Sebring
International Raceway,
which had smaller races
going on all day Friday as
the crowd grew in antici-
pation of Saturday's main
event, the 12 Hours of
Sebring.
Additional law enforce-
ment officers were on the
SHS campus Friday to
make a showing, and the
HCSO were being proac-
tive in the case.
There was a fight
between some SHS stu-
dents recently, Blackman
said, so officers went to
the school to 'find out if
the student was planning
to retaliate. Only one of
the students was at school
that day.
"We talked to him, went
to the residence of the
other kids and they didn't
know what we were talk-
ing about," Blackman
said.
The employee also
compared the shooting
rumor to the Wal-Mart
gang initiation hoax, say-
ing it "snowballed" with
countless parents calling
the school before 10 a.m.

who asked to shake the mayor's hand said, 'I'l never wash this hand again.



'Be The Wall' meeting planned


By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY
christophertuffley@newssun.com
SEBRING Underage
drinking continues to be a
problem. Not only is the
alcohol damaging to growing
brains, but drinking can lead
to risky behaviors for
,,example, significantly rais-
ing the risk of teenage preg-
nancy or automobile acci-
dents.
Dealing with this as a soci-
ety has been difficult for gen-
erations because drinking has
so long been considered a
natural rite of passage, even
an expected one.
Its dangers were tradition-
ally underestimated, even
denied altogether; drunk chil-
dren seen as a joke rather
than a public health disaster.
This attitude is beginning
to change.
But it doesn't mean it is
easy for a parent, or supervis-
ing adult, to convince adoles-
cents of the dangers, or guide
their behavior.
Which is why the "Be The
Wall" campaign was created.
Its focus is on adults, not


Program's goal
to keep teens
from drinking

children; its aim to give
adults the insight and tools to
fight the problem.
In the "Be The Wall"
metaphor each adult is a
brick, together the bricks
form a wall shielding chil-
dren from harm.
Saying no, while essential,
isn't easy. Young people need
the help, example and sup-
port of grown-ups. They cer-
tainly don't need an adult
buying them beer.
The city of Sebring, along
with such organizations as
the Highlands County
Sheriff's Office, the
Department of Health, the
Sebring Optimist Club, the
YMCA, and Youth for
Christ, among many others,,
are supporting a special town
hall meeting at the civic cen-
ter at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Workshop to focus on

better accessibility

for the disabled


Special to the News-Sun
AVON PARK People
with disabilities still strug-
gle with barriers that pre-
vent them from participat-

natural surroundings of
Highlands County.
- A free "Access=Success"
workshop is planned from
1-4 p.m. Friday, March 27,
at the Grogan Center at Our
Lady of Grace Catholic
Church, 595 East Main St.,
Avon, Park, to inform
organizations on how to
welcome people with dis-

with age-related disabili-
ties. The Heartland Cultural
Alliance and


Ridge Area Arc
are sponsoring
the workshop.
"We live in
the second old-


cultural events. This means
more interest in the events
and more dollars spent to
help our organizations
bring what-is needed to oua
community," Brenner said.
There will be a panel of
local individuals who either
have disabilities or worked
with people with disabili-
ties to share their personal
stories about accessibility
in Highlands County.
Members of the panel will
include Deanna Pieretti

of the local hospital,

Audi claims ninth win

in 12 Hours of Sebring


Continued from 1A
"The car ran great all day,"
Fernandez said of his flag-to-
flag finish.
The bright yellow No. 3
Corvette of Jan Magnussen,
Johnny O'Cofinell and
Antonio Garcia won GT1 in
the final race at Sebring for
the team in the GT1 division.
The next time they come to
the 12 Hour circuit they will
be running as GT2 cars.
Risi Competezione won
this year's GT2 division with
Finn Mika Salo at the wheel.
The car had been relegated to
the back of the grid when.
Jamie Melo failed to take
night practice.
However the team worked
its way through traffic and
held the lead in their class for
the bulk of the day.
The 100th American
LeMans Series -race started
with warm temperatures and
bright sunny skies.
Alan McNish in the No. 2
Audi R15 TDI jumped past
pole-sitter Scott Dixon's
Acura at Turn 1 and parlayed
that into a commanding lead
.which he held for 45 minutes,
Yhen he pitted and the No. 08
Peugeot 908 HDI of Franck
Montagny took the point.
Throughout the course of'
the day Audi and Peugeot
would engage in a heated bat-
tle under the Florida sun, tak-
ing turns leading the 26-car
field around Sebring's his-
toric 3.72-mile circuit turn-
ing speeds faster than their
qualifying laps.
During the early portion of,
the afternoon, many of the
drivers a had termed the track
"slippery" as the heat of the
day drove up the temperature
of the road surface.
In the afternoon, winds
also picked up, with gusts
measured at 17-24 mph blow-
ing sand and debris around
on the roadway but lowering
the track temperature.
By the evening hours, the

skies had cleared but the tem-
peratures continued to drop
as the sun went down in the
west.
Shortly before noon, the
.No. 40 Ford Piloti GT2 Ford
Doran Mk7 of Robinson
Racing and the
Patron/Highcroft Acura
ARX-02a of David Brabham
'crossed up in Turn 16, bring-
ing out the first yellow flag
of the day.
"The car was performing
perfectly early," said Dick
Barbour, Robinson team
director. "Our first race was a
year ago today. We have a
very fast if underrated car."
About 90 minutes later, the
No. 37 Intersport LMP came
to a stop at Turn 8 for the sec-
ond yellow of the day. It was
a fuel pick up problem.
Earlier they had a significant
oil leak in the engine com-
partment.
"This is the nature of
Sebring. We get jostled
around and beaten up during
the course of the race," said
Intersport driver Clint Field.
Just short of the six-hour
mark into the Race,
Montagny took the lead in
the No. 08 Peugeot. Shortly
thereafter,. both Dyson
Mazda/Lolas were forced to'
withdraw, simply citing
"mechanical problems" as
the reason.
Shortly before 5 p.m. the
yellow flag came out for a
,third time, again when

David Brabham at the wheel
touched with the No. 21 GT2

There were more retire-,
ments as the evening pro-
gressed hour as the Drayson

behind the wall with engine
failure at 6:30.
About an hour later, offi-
cials of Autocon announced
they had retired their
Lola/B06/10AER due to
electrical problems.
At 8:45 p.m., Joel Feinberg
retired the PrimeTime Racing
Viper Competition Coupe
with clutch problems.
A battle for third place in
the GT2 division resulted in

In what stewards termed "a
racing incident," the Flying

out of Turn 17.
The Porsche 911 went into
the wall, but continued back
to the pit for repairs.

12 Hours of Sebring on Saturday.

Law enforcement keeps

Race crowd under control


Continued from 1A
the grounds, stationed "wher-
ever they feel they need to
be," Fain said.
Deputy Chris Myers, a
nine-year veteran of the
HCSO, has worked the track
for several years.
"It doesn't seem as wild,"
he said late Saturday morning
as cars zoomed around the
track. "Most people here are
pretty respectful."
On Friday night, 14 arrests
were made, a number smaller
in years past and not very
high considering the number
of people camping at 'the
track, Fain said.
Most of the arrests were
for misdemeanor marijuana
possession or underage
drinking, he said.
The track is private proper-
ty, so deputies can't enforce
the open container laws.
They can, however, still
make driving under the influ-
ence arrests and in the case of
accidents alcohol use will be
taken into consideration.
Friday night, there was an
accident where a man fell
from the back of a truck and
had to airlifted from the
Raceway with a headinjury.
While the status of the
injured man was unknown,
passengers in the backs of
trucks are a focus for
deputies after a similar situa-


tion ended in death a few
years ago.
"We have a standing order
no one can have their back
facing the road siting on a
tailgate," Myers said.
The person could fall out
backward and land on their
head causing a serious injury.
"That's the kind of thing
we're looking for. If you
want to drive around you
have to do so safely," Fain
said. "We cut down on (inde-
cent exposure) as well."
It's all part of returning the
Sebring race to a family
friendly event.
"More people are finding
out they can take their kids
out there and have a good
time and not have to worry
about their children seeing
something they would rather
not see," Fain said.
Law enforcement is on site
from an hour before the gates
open until the gates close.
"We're not here to bother
them, we're here 'to keep it
safe," Myers said.
For the dozens of deputies
working the event like
Myers, it is a busy week
between either working on
the road or in the Raceway.
"I enjoy coming out here,
but towards the end of the
day with the dust and the heat
you are ready to go home,"
he said. "I'm glad it's once a
year."

nly time will tell
S bodut stimulus bill
editor:
.In reference to Mr. Randy
audacers' letter to the editor
published March 4 and with,
all the respect, I wish to ask
where he got his information
that House Republicans
secretly admitted that
Obama's stimulus bill was
the right way to go, but felt
they had to vote against it
because of fear of attacks
from". n pbart'y and
oppositildr ifi the next elec-
tion.
I fistobvious to the reader
that Mr. Ludacer is absolute-
ly certain that Obama's
stimulus bill is the right way
to go and believes that any
other opinion can only be
held by ill-informed and
generally wrong persons. Et
tu, Brute; even you, Mr.
Ludacer, could be wrong.
Only time will tell whether
or notthe stimulus bill is the
right.way to go.
I agree t i "Party
Discipline'" is a way of club-
bing'iTfdependent thinkers
into conformity, but wonder
if Mr. Ludacer recognizes
that the problem lies oh both
sides of the aisle. According
to media sources, several
named Democrats who
voted for the stimulus plan
are now Wondering if they .,
should have done so.
May I remind Mr.
Ludacer that Representatives&
are elected to represent the
desires of the majority of
their constituents and should.
not vote according to their
own single opinion? The
Representatives have many
opportunities to vote based
On their own opinions when
his constituents have not
'made their desires known.
Has Mr. Ludacer not rec-
ognized that there are no
Statesmen today? If there
are a,few, where are they
hiding?

AIG is no longer under capitalistic

it: is "~i"ionger accountable to market

When taxpayers have to bail out, and
essentially own, a large portion of their
assets, AIG and other behemoths should
be accountable to taxpayers.
We are now the stockholders.
When our very own Secretary of the

that AIG's bonuses should not be paid,

The cost of

our pets

If you have a pet, they help
to put a dent in your budget. It
can be a great big deep dent,
or just a dimple. Depends on
the pet.
When John and James had
iguanas, money went for spe-
cial heating light bulbs, food
supplements, and a steady sup,'
ply of zucchini and squash
that the boys dutifully
chopped up. I never bought
extra zucchini and squash for
the family, because there was
no way the boys would ever
eat it.
We have two insane birds
that just require birdseed not;
a big expense. They probably :
also could use some psycho-
analysis, but that's pretty ,
much not in the budget.
Perky, our cute and partially.
spoiled dog (he has a way of
looking at you with his .large
brown eyes that screams,
"Spoil me!") has indeed cost
us money from time to time. "
There was his chewing
phase when he was a puppy.
Perky took a liking to the
baseboards in our kitchen,
gnawing on them despite our
efforts to talk him out of it.
Thankfully for the baseboards
he out grew this particular
habit.
Perky is also the main rea-
son I try to get our carpets
cleaned from time to time.
Getting our carpets cleaned is
riot an easy task. This is
because we have a lot of
heavy furniture that needs to
be moed around. I can't
move heavy furniture. So this
entails hiring people to come
and do it. I haven't in a while,
because life keeps getting in
the way.
As he's gotten older, Perky
has begun to cost us more as it
pertains to health care. Perky
is about 11 years old, which
makes him qualified for '
Medicare in dog years. He has
a heart murmur, and we've
discovered that he has arthri-
tis. ,
This means, like a human
with arthritis, he occasionally
has to see the vet (not that
humans go to vets, they go to
doctors) to deal with pain.
This costs money as:AWell,
since we've not invested in pet
health insurance. (Yes, there is
health, insurance for pets).
I'm not complaining, mind
you. Perky is as much a mem-.
ber of the family as anyone,
and for the joy he brings to me
and mine it's worth taking
care of him. And at least he
doesn't literally eat money.
The same cannot be said for,
a North Carolina greater Swiss
mountain dog. The 2-year-dld,
named Augie, apparently
found $400 cash his owner,
Kelley Davis, left in the bed-
room. Apparently the dog mis-
took it for food, and chomped
down on it. "
Lest you think the poor ani-
mal'was falsely accused. Ms.
Davis reported to the News &
Observer of Raleigh that when
she took the dog for a walk
she discovered pieces of the
missing bills in his as the
article put it "leavings."
Given the tough economic
times, it may not surprise you
to know that Ms. Davis hosed
the pieces off and is hoping
that she will recover enough
of them to exchange for uneat-
en bills. A veterinary professor
assures readers that the money
won't hurt the dog.
$400 is a lot of money, and
I can't blame the woman for
putting up with the ick that

David Grist of David I. Grist, AlA, Architect Inc., presents the initial plans for a convention
center the Highlands County Fair Association wants to build at Firemen's Field. The build-
ing would be primarily of steel construction, with one wall concrete block.

lars will go away"
Even with $2 million, the
budget will be tight. This is
why the proposed center will
be a pre-engineered steel
building with one wall the
main entrance -facade -
being concrete block con-
struction. One of the steel
walls will face an already
existing building and would
not be visible to the street.
City zoning permits steel
buildings at Firemen's Field,
but there were concerns
about appearance.
This is why landscaping is
an important part of the
design said project architect
David Grist, with trees plant-
ed to soften the exterior
facade.
The convention center
would have 32,000 square
feet of space and a 3,500-per-
son capacity.
"We wanted to construct a
building on grounds big
enough to hold a Sebring
High School graduation,.boat
shows (and the like)," Adams
said. A lobby, rest rooms,

offices, a portable stage and a
serving rather than cook-
ing kitchen would all be a
part of the complex. Folding
bleachers would provide
seating for 2,500 with floor
space for another 1,000.'The
building would be accessible
to the handicapped.
It could also be used as a
hurricane shelter, although
that idea raised concern from
members of the audience.
The worry was a steelbuild-
ing, while able to resist 140
miles per hour winds, would


not withstand a tornado.
Grist said one would have
to build bunkers to be torna-
do safe. "The basic premise
is this is not a hurricane shel-
ter," he said, adding that the
idea is to have a sizable
venue to bring people and
events from *outlying areas
into the county.
Both city and county staffs
expressed support, for a con-
vention center in 2002 call-
ing it a win-win situation.
Proposals to assist the project
were suggested. This is still
true today.
For example, the city's
water tower at Firemen's
Field is located on property
owned by the Fair
Association. The city is will-
ing to provide water, fire pro-
tection, sewer connections
and vacate, roads going
through the property in
exchange for the deed to the
water tower property.
The convention center will
be on the agenda for the
Planning and Zoning meet-
ing, April 14. Interested par-
ties are urged to attend.

Access=Success workshop planned


Bobby Talley, a native of
Avon Park, will serve on the
panel. He is .visually
' impaired.
"The barriers I have had
to overcome are people's
perceptions of what a person
with a disability is capable
of," Talley said. "The only
event I did not have access
to was a museum display of
one of the cars from
'Smokey and the Bandit.' It
was a 'hands-off' display.
"The one thing that I
would like for people to be
aware of is that people with
disabilities just want to be
treated just like anyone else.
Just be patient with them
since they may move a little
slower or not talk as well as
other people."
Another member of the
panel will be Sara Canali of
Sebring, who has cerebral
palsy and gets around with
her wheelchair and cane.
Canali mentioned there are
several businesses as well as
school environments that
.have not been accessible to
her needs.
"I'think every person in a
wheelchair should able to go
to the stores or any places
just like everybody else,"


Canali said..
She got around, in the
school, but "always needed
somebody to open the doors.
I think the schools need to
put automatic door system,
where you push the button
and the door opens for you,
so the students who have
special needs can attend
their classes independently.
Because of that problem I
had to wait for a paraprofes-
sional or staff to come to get
me to take me to my classes,
and sometimes I would be
late for one of my classes
because of waiting.
And finally, Cindy
Marshall, director of pro-
gram development, with
Ridge Area Arc, will share
her experiences while work-
ing with people with disabil-
ities in this community.
"There have been prob-
lems with parking and bath-
room accessibility in this
county as well as proper
spacing for wheelchairs',"
Marshall said.
Register for the workshop
by March 24 by calling 385-
2828 or email

disability of being hearing
impaired.
"As a hearing impaired
individual my toughest
obstacles are my ability to
fully understand the con-
tents of any conversation,
discussion, or speaking
engagement. I have had to
get over the fact that I need
to make it known to those
speaking around me to
please speak up as I am
hearing impaired. Even with
the use of my hearing aid I
lose out on the full context
of what is being said,"
Salvaggio said.
"When it comes to events
or places, not all events
have the use of a micro-
phone or amplification
devices. Even at a movie
theater it is difficult to
understand the actual con-
versations that are taking
place. There are occasions
where devices are made
available. Most generally I
will sit in front whenever I
can and inform the speaker
that I have a hearing impair-
ment. For the most part, I
am on my own," Salvaggio
added.

Panthers edge Polk


behind Abeln gem


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
The South Florida Panthers
inched closer to evening their
Suncoast Conference mark
with a 4-3 win over the Polk
County Vikings Friday night.
While the SFCC, offense
was held in relative check,
starting pitcher Chaz Abeln
made the four runs stand up
with a complete-game effort.
Over nine innings of work,
Abeln only walked one batter
while striking out 13 to fol-
low up former Sebring team-
mate Adam Simmons' com-
,plete game win on
Wednesday .
"Chaz battled all night,
and just like 'Adam, was
strong as an ox in the hinmh,"
head coach Rick Hitt said.
"Consecutive complete
games is really something
special in this league with the
caliber of hitters %%e face."
The high-caliber hitting is
something South Florida has
done its' share of this season,,


and though the long ball was
in the repitiore this night, it
was hitting of the timely and
effective kind.
"We got key hits," Hitt
said. "We put together nine
singles and each of them was
important."
Three of those hits came
off the sizzling-hot bat of
Austin Gaines while Abeln
helped his own cause with
two hits and an RBI.
The team mark now stands
at 23-12 on the year, 4-5 in
conference play, as they
began an away-home-away,
three-game set with confer-
ence leader Manatee.
The Panthers and Lancers
squared off in Bradenton
Saturday before coming to
Panther Field Monday and
heading back to Manatee

By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
SEBRING A three-run
fourth inning wasn't quite
enough for the Blue Streak
nine to overcome earlier
missed opportunities in
Friday's 6-5 loss to visiting
Palmetto.


Sebring topped the
Tigers, 6-2, on the road to
begin the regular season,
but Palmetto drew first
blood in seeking their
revenge, scratching for a
run. in the first.

Rookies top first round of




Star Mazda Championship


" Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING A trio of
European rookies took the
top three spots in Friday
afternoon's Round One of
the 2009 Star Mazda
Championship presented by
Goodyear at the 57th Annual
12 Hours of Sebring.
Adam Christodoulou. the
rising open-wheel racer
from Milton Keynes,
England, started from the
outside of the front row and
drove twenty flawless laps
to victory at the wheel of the
#11 JDC Motorsports
Mazda.
Finishing second by a
margin of 0.504 sec. was fel-
low Englishman and long-
time rival, pole-sitter
Richard Kent of
Birmingham, driving the
#33 Andersen Racing /
Traka / Allied Interior
Products Mazda.
Rounding out the top-3
was Conor Daly. son of rac-
ing legend Derek Daly. a
former Fl :and Indy car racer
as well as two-time winner
of the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Daly, the 2008 Skip
Barber Pro.Series champion,
is racing the #22 Andersen


Racing / College Network /
Indeck / Cytomax Mazda
with sponsorship from the
.MA Z D A S P E E D
Motorsports Driver
Development Ladder.
"We struggled through
some mechanical problems
during the week and even
missed a session on
Wednesday. which was
tough with qualifying on
Thursday, but the team did
an awesome job and it all
came right in the end." said
Christodoulou. ""Even
though Richard was on the
pole, I seemed to get an
extremely good start and
passed him going into the
first corner, but then I
looked over and saw Alex
Ardoin next to me and he,led
the first couple of laps until
he had a dri\e through
penalty and I got the lead of
the race. I'm used to twen-
ty-five minute races in much
colder climates, so it felt:
like a really long event, and
Richard actually passed me
on one of the final re-starts,
but went a bit deep into cor-
ner ten and I was able to get
by and hold the lead for the
rest of the race."

Lady Streaks come up short


against Highlanders


By DAN HOEHNE
daniel.hoehne@newssun.com
SEBRING Playing a
team of the caliber of Lake
Wales. even a team at full
strength has little margin for
error.
For three innings, though,
a depleted Sebring softball


squad stood toe-to-toe
with the Lad)
Highlanders, match-
ing them at each turn,
But that tiny-margin
was crossed over and
the Lake Wales ladies
'took advantage in a 7-
0 win.


Lake


Sebi


"They (the Highlanders)
have a great program," Blue
Streak head coach Joe
Sinness said. "But Kayla
(Clemens) pitched great, just
pitched her heart out, and we
hung with them for a few
innings."
But it was in the third that
the little margin for error


saw it's first leak as a combi-
nation of an error and a
passed ball got Lake Wales
on the board.
And even before that,
Sebring looked as if they
could break out at any
moment, getting good
swings at Division I pitching
prospect Hannah
Wales Rogers as Dino
Lower and Hannah
Shoop each ripped
S singles in the first
8 two innings.
) "The first couple
innings we looked
real good against
(Rogers)," Sinness said. "We
were taking good swings,
making good contact."
But the Lake Wales run
seemed to set in 'motion a
shift.
"I could see it in the way
we warmed up between
innings," Sinness said.
"They start getting nTncha-


lant with their fielding and
throwing. And then when
balls get hit at them, if they
play like they practice,
they're going to get by."
Only one official error
was made in the Highlander
half of the fourth, but some
errors in judgment lead to
four runs with the benefit of
only' one hit for a sudden 5-0
lead.
Sebring looked to answer
right back as Haley Pack
reached leading off the bot-
tom of the fourth and
Priscilla Adams rocketed a
shot toward left.
But Lake Wales shortstop
Tiffani Upchurch snared the
one-hopper and turned it
into a double play.
The sixth looked like it
might provide a turnaround
as a great running catch in
left by Camiel White and a
nifty snag and throw from
third-basegirl Carrie Dudek

half.
But another sharply hit
ball, this one off the bat of
Clemens, was picked up by


Britani Thomas who turned
it into a third-to-first double
play.

And Another
Thing...
Dan Hoehne

Climbing

the bracket
It's just been the first two
days of the NCAA basketball
tournament, and my fortunes
have already been on a roller
coaster.
From dropping to a low of.
being in the 48th percentile
in the ESP'N Challenge head-
ing into Friday night's
games, a couple of shrewd
picks vaulted me into the
77.7th percentile I think
that sounds a bit better than
saying I was in 2.5 millionth
place and am now in 1.03
millionth place.
Sure, I moved up nearly
1.5 million places, but I'm
still in the millions or is it
millionths?
To show how much of a
swing those Friday night
games provided, ESPN
reported that, heading into
those last first-round games,
.more than 300,000 people
still had perfect brackets.
Once those games were in
the books, the number of per-
fect brackets as part of their
Challenge stood at zero.
Of course, my bracket
became imperfect pretty
early, but it persevered as I
went 24-8, with 14 of my
Sweet 16 teams still alive.
I'm sure I wasn't the only
one who had Wake Forest
winning their first two
games, though a lot of the
analysts correctly predicted
they'd have their hands full
with Cleveland State in the
opener.
So the Demon Deacons are
out, but at least I had them
losing to Louisville in the
third round anyway, which I
see happening no matter
whom the Cardinals play.
My biggest upset pick to
get to the Sweet 16, 13-seed
Mississippi State, got bounced
by Washington, but whether
the Huskies or Purdue reach
the third round, UConn should
win, so even the two I missed
shouldn't hurt me past the
second round.
Elsewhere, I correctly
picked Wisconsin over Florida
State, sorry Seminole fans.
The Badgers are just one
of those teams I can always

Ch 'istian witness, as well as a great team-
mate. It is a real loss to the team, as well as
to The League, his church and the communi-

p.he managers of Andrews Allstate
In rance and Royal Palms felt it best to not
include their team's results of that game in
re pect to the situation.
.n Field 1, the game between Highlands
Ri ge And Highlands Merchants was a good
defensive battle.
Ridge was trailing 6-4 after seven innings,
when John Pinna went up to the plate in the
top of the eighth and hit a single, which
started the momentum as Ridge scored five
rutis for a9-6 win, and held the Merchants
scoreless in the bottom of the frame to
claim the victory.
tOp hitters for Ridge were John Bielman
going 4-for-4, Dave Majick 3-for-3 and
Cuit Brown was 3-for-4.
the Merchants Bill Yeager was 2-for-3,
inteuding a home run. Ross McMinn went
2-opr-3 with a double and triple, Bobby
Fulcher had 3-for-4. Bob Roth hit 2-for-3
and Wayne Hill was 2-for-4 plus made sev-
eril outstanding defensive plays for his
team ,-. , .
Silent Salesman and the Blue jays had a
1o4 scoring game, but Salesman came' out
on:top 8-4.
The Jays scored four runs in the second
inning and the Salesman held them score-
less for the last six.
Outstanding defensive plays and a good
pitching effort by Harley Smith had a bear-
ing on the game's outcome.
j.eading the Salesman offense were Mike
Ju mu, hitting 3-for-4 including a home
rut Jerry Johnston went 3-for-4 with a dou-
bl6, Syd Collins had four singles and Don
Ctnningham and Harley Smith each hit 3-,

the Blue Jays had little to record except
all of their-hits were singles, and they man-

SWC Touring Cars
SEBRING A slight stut-
ter-step by defending Sebring
champ Pierre Kleinubing was
all Seth Thomas needed to
grab the lead pnd run to his
inaugural first place finish in
th eSpeed World Challenge
Touring Division race Friday
at the Sebring International
Raceway.
"The BMW' launches well
off the start/finish line,'
SAID Thomas, who drives a'
BMW 328i for the
BimmerWorld Gear Wrench
team.
A graduate of the Skip
Barber Racing School.,
Thomas said that Sebring has
been one of his favorite
tracks for many years, having
come here repeatedly to drive
in club races.
Kleinubing said he spent
most of the race trying to
catch and overtake Thomas,
"who always seemed to have
something" every \time he
closed the gap.
"I set a pace and tried to
maintain it," said Thomas.
"This is a redemption year
for me."

retailer of high performance

His drag race down the

Rivera the AutoWeek Move

'I was able to get just
enough to be alongside of

Curran said his car was

ending double play when
Higgins was thrown out try-

Sebring starter Dustin
Lang worked out of trouble
in the second and Gus
Williams evened things .up
with a single and two stolen
bases before coming in on an
error.
The Tigers tacked on two
more in the third, but Sebring
looked like they were about
to swing right back into it in
the bottom half.
And yet, three straight sin-
gles to lead off the inning
went for naught as no runner
reached second base.
Evan Lewis singled to left
but was thrown out trying to'
stretch it to a double.
Higgins then promptly sin-
gled. but was gunned down
trying to steal during
Ralidall's at bat.
Randall then reached on a
base knock, but was forced at

to end the inning.

an error in the top of the fifth
got that run back for the
Tigers and it would prove to
be a crucial one.
That's because Sebring
looked to break out in the last
of the fifth when Lewis lead
off with a double to left center
before Higgins took a 'curve
ball in the shoulder to reach.
Lewis advanced to third on
Randall's fly-out to right and
both runners came in when
Cody Hoffner stung one into
the left-center field gap for a
two-run double.
Jesse Baker then chopped
one over the Palmetto third
baseman to put runners on
first and third and Hoffner
came in on a,slow Williams'


chopper to second.
The speedy Williams, how-
ever, was called out on a
close play at first, though the
shoveled toss from the Tiger
second baseman appeared to
still be airborne as 'the
Goose' reached the bag.
Having Williams on base
with just one out could have
kept the rally going, but with
two out and nobody on, an
ensuing strikeout ended the
threat and Sebring couldn't
muster any more comebacks.
"We played better than we
did the other night," Rewis
summed up. "And we'll keep
getting better and better."
Now 5-2 in District 10-4A
play, the Streaks head on the
road for district contests at
DeSoto and Booker, Tuesday
and Friday, respectively.


not too upsetting


few more upsets then I
should have, as I also, got
burned by picking Temple
over Arizona State, Virginia
Commonwealth over UCLA
and Dayton over West
Virginia.
I should feel pretty good
about where I stand after the
first two days, sitting in just
over a millionth place and
poised to maybe move into


the mid-hundred thousands -
or is it hundred thousandths?,
Then again, as Friday
night showed, bracket bust-
ing games are just waiting to
continue the chaos that is
March Madness.

Second annual Conservation Connection Day was a success


The setting was ideal, the weath-
er was beautiful, visitors were
smiling and kids were laughing
during the second annual
Conservation Connection Day on
March 7 at the Bert J. Harris Jr.
Agricultural Center.
Anyone who has ever planned a
special event knows how much
work goes into it. Without the help
of so many, the event simply
wouldn't happen or it would not be
successful. We at the Highlands
Soil and Water Conservation
District are so grateful for all of
the wonderful volunteers that
stepped up and helped out on that
special Saturday. Because of their
assistance, about 350 hot dogs
were grilled and served, booths
were manned, exhibits were set up
and everything ran smoothly.
In June of last year, the HSWCD
decided to hold an event that
would encourage citizens and envi-
ronmental agencies to interact with
each other and exchange informa-
tion. Sometimes government can
be confusing and this was-our
effort to "bridge the gap." The citi-
zens from Highlands County were
able to have their questions
answered and obtain information
about what all the agencies do.


We want our
citizens to know
where they need
to go and who
they need to con-
tact when they
have environ-
mental questions
and issues. We
also had the
News From chance to let
The them know what
-Watershed we do and what
Corine Burgess we're all about
rgess and where some
of their tax dollars go.
The event was a success, but we
did get some constructive criticism
and decided to do it up bigger and
better this year. Some of the ideas
that citizens shared with staff last
year were to have it on a Saturday
so the working folks could attend,
to have it in the cooler months so it
wouldn't be so hot (last year's
event,was held outdoors), and to
have it indoors as well as outdoors.
. Making the event even better,
the Highlands County Extension
Office and Sustainability
Committee joined us with their
"Think Green and LEED
(Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design)" event.


This event featured "green" ven-
dors and suppliers, allowing visi-
tors to learn what is available in
the "green" industry as well as
what the different environmental
agencies do.
This year's Saturday event was
both indoors and outdoors. We
incorporated a kids section- -
complete with educational booths
where children could complete
environmental projects, face paint-
ing, clowns, a bounce house and
giant slide to appeal to the
younger generation. We wanted to
make sure that if parents wanted to
come, their kids would have some-
thing to do and they could all get
something out of the event.
The kids did seem to be having a
very good time. Home Depot came
out and the children built derby car
track kits to take home. They had
the chance to make a water cycle
wristband, paper mache objects
made from recycled paper, plant a
seed, play environmental wheel of
fortune and pet a snake! What
more could any child want?
Adults were delighted to learn
about the many different agencies
and vendors that participated and
walked away with lots of free give-
aways! The environmental agen-

Resources Conservation Service,

Special to the News-Sun
ORLANDO With
today's job cuts and uncer-
tain times, experts predict
a trend for 2009 will be
that of career reinvention
and extension. Living
proof that negative cir-
cumstances can lead to a
positive re-birth, author
of the Girls Getaway
Guide series and travel
expert Casey Wohl,
known at The Getaway
Girl, found herself
divorced and jobless
several years ago.
Wohl used that time
to re-assess her life
goals and career
ambitions. w -
Today, Wohl is a
published author
with books in Barnes &
Noble. While traveling with
her girlfriends, she recog-
,nized an unfulfilled niche in
the travel guide market.
Unable to find city-specific
travel guide for women,
Wohl started to write her
on.
The first in the Girls
Getaway Guide series was
met with rave reviews, and
national television, print and
radio appearances have fol-
lowed. She has more than
10,000 monthly subscribers
who follow her on her web-
site, bl6g, E-newsletter and
social media outlets.
"'When times get tough I
remember the quote 'It's not
the number of times you fall
down, but the number of
times you get back up."
Wohl said. "We must focus
on the good that we-can
achieve versus the chal-

A .special thank you goes
out to our wonderful volun-
teers: Eric Maron, Ed
Cunningham and Gerald
Hibbs. These three men
came to our rescue when we
told them that we wanted a
watershed model for the
event. They built the model
in record time and did a
beautiful job.
In addition, Eric and Ed
helped out all day during the
event, serving hotdog's, set-
ting up tents, tables and ban-
ners, and assisting with'any
and all tasks that came up.
John Riggerio from the
Highlands County Lakes
Association graciously
grilled over 350 hot dogs for
our guests. Jan and daughter
June Townsend from South
Dade helped with ideas and
manpower. Alexis Pontius,
Bruce Clament and Laura
Tenneson delighted the chil-
dren by helping out at the
bounce house, big slide and
face painting.
Folks from the
Sustainability Committee,
Highlands County Extension
and Master Gardeners all
helped out tremendously.
Thanks to Ed Ayen, Shirley
Bauhman, Christy Swift,-
Penny Bucher, Frank and
Marcella Giersey (clowns),
and Carol Barnhardt, who all
helped with set up and fan-


ning booths as well as enter-
taining the kids in other
ways. A big thank you to
Blake Linville and Ann
Hardy for all the help with
the planning and setting up
of the event.
The staff at HSWCD
would like to thank all of the
agencies, vendors and volun-
,teers'for coming out and
helping to make the event
the success that it was.
Thanks to Highlands County
Facilities Management for
all the help with set up and
take down. Also thanks to
Publix, Brewster's, HC
Citrus Growers, HSWCD
and Home Depot for provid-
ing food, refreshments and
supplies for the event. But
mostly, thanks to our won-
derful HSWCD Board of


Supervisors for allowing us
to have the event and sup-
porting us when we come up
with these ideas.
It is the hope of the
Highlands Soil and Water
Conservation District that
people walked away with a.
better understanding of our
precious natural resources.
We hope that the, kids not
.only had fun, but have a bet-
ter idea of what they can do
to be good stewards of the
environment. Thanks to all
who came out to support us
and join in the festivities!

**~# i


understanding came
where there had
been uncertainty.
One particular
entry reminded me
how God responds
to our heart's cry -
even in unexpected
rebuke. As we
mulled over the
reality of the chang-
ing financial picture
retirement would


bring, uncertainty hung-like
a cloud.
Then the phone rang and
it was a friend experienced
in financial matters with
whom we'd counseled. He
patiently listened to my con-
cerns and God spoke through
his gentle rebuke.
"If you could understand
and figure everything out,
you wouldn't rely upon God
as you should," he said.
"You've beenpraying that
God would stop you in your
tracks if you weren't follow-
ing his lead ip this. That is a
prayer he will answer. Move
forward in faith," he said
with confidence.
His confidence was conta-
gious and I knew God was
answering. But, being the
good God that he is, he also
led me to a verse of
Scripture that is our life's
mission found in Matthew 6:
33, "But seek first the king-
dom of God and His right-
eousness, and all these
things shall be added to
you."
Several other confirma-
tioris followed until
awestruck, the tears rolled
down my face as I basked in
his presence.
Remember his faithful-
ness. Selah ,
