SEBRING — Sebring welcomed in the 1960s beingin the bullseye in the Cold War.

On Oct. 20, 1962, medium range Soviet missileswere discovered in Cuba, pointing toward Florida.With President John Kennedy and Soviet PremierNikita Kruschev drawing lines in the sand, a nuclearattack appeared imminent.

On Oct. 25, Sebring residents were told to stock upon water and two weeks worth of supplies. Schoolspracticed alerts. People were told to listen for a war-bling siren sounded for three minutes. That meantmissiles were on their way.

There were no fallout shelters in the city, but resi-dents were given pamphlets with directions for whatto do in case of attack. Don’t panic, people were told,stay in your homes if the fallout is bad.

The high tension lasted for three days, untilKennedy and Kruschev reached a peaceful compro-mise, and Sebring went on about its business.

In fact, business boomed and the population grewthroughout the decade.

There will be more wholegrains on school lunch menusthis year, along with a widerselection of fruits and vegeta-bles and other healthyoptions. The challenge is get-ting children to eat them.

“We don’t want healthytrash cans. We want kids whoare eating this stuff,” said

Kern Halls, a former DisneyWorld restaurant managerwho now works in schoolnutrition at Orange CountyPublic Schools.

At a School NutritionAssociation conference inDenver this summer, foodworkers heard tips about howto get children to makehealthy food choices in thecafeteria.

SEBRING — Despite the factthat significant cuts have beenmade in spending, acting countyadministrator June Fisher warnedthe county commission Tuesdaythat the county’s costs are goingup, which means the county’s

2012-13 budget may increasedespite reductions in spending.Most of these increases, she said,are beyond the control of the coun-ty.

For example, insurance costs arenearly doubling and licensing feesfor Microsoft Office software areincreasing.

Offsetting these raises, the coun-ty has been looking for savings inevery department, said Fisher, whopraised department heads for beingdiligent and cooperative.

News-SunSEBRING — A traffic stop

Thursday night in Sebringresulted in the recovery of astolen car and three arrests,one of them after a K-9 pur-suit through the HighlandsHomes neighborhood.

According to a pressrelease from the HighlandsCounty Sheriff’s Office, Lt.Sean Casey observed a blackDodge Magnum travelingslowly south on U.S. 27 nearGolfview Road in the earlymorning hours of Thursday.He checked the license num-ber on the vehicle and dis-covered it was reportedstolen out of HillsboroughCounty.

After calling for back-upunits and following the vehi-cle through the HighlandsHomes neighborhood, afelony stop was conducted at4614 Howard Ave. at 3:50a.m. One subject fled into awooded area when the vehi-cle stopped, but three othersubjects were taken out of thevehicle and detained.

After all subjects weresecure, HCSO K-9 deputiesDustin McGee and Tom Fortbegan to track the subjectwho ran. After a long trackthrough the neighborhood, anorange grove and the woods,30-year-old Anthony WayneChandler was located nearthe entrance of the Las Villassubdivision. Chandler, of4580 Sullivan Rd. in WinterHaven, was arrested andcharged with trespassing,possession of marijuana,resisting an officer and pos-session of drug equipment.

Later that day, follow upinvestigation by SebringPolice Department detectivesdetermined that Chandler dis-

carded a purse containing asignificant amount of cashduring his flight fromdeputies. Sebring police K-9Officer John Garrison arrivedin the area of the chase, andhis K-9 partner J.R. locatedthe purse hanging on a tree inthe area where Chandler wasapprehended.

Of the three subjects origi-nally detained, two werearrested at the scene.Chalmas Henry Bishop, 49,of 122 Twin Lake Blvd. inLake Wales, was chargedwith driving while licensesuspended and grand theft ofa motor vehicle. He remainsin the Highlands County Jailunder a $17,000 bond.

Amanda Faye Metzgar, 22,of 2449 SW Ave. A in WinterHaven, was arrested on awarrant out of Polk Countyand has been transferred tothe Polk County Jail. Thethird subject was released atthe scene.

Additional charges may bedeveloped in this case as thevehicle involved matches thedescription of a vehicle thatwas used in a burglary thatoccurred on Aug. 15 in LakePlacid. All these cases remainunder investigation at thistime.

“This is just another great

example of how our agencieswork together for the com-mon good of the citizens ofHighlands County,” SebringPolice Chief Tom Dettmansaid. “The heads-up actioninitiated by Lt. Casey withback up by Highlands Countysheriff ’s members andSebring police officers, andadditional follow up bydetectives from both agen-cies, resulted in the arrests ofthree suspects and numerouscharges. Following estab-lished procedures alsoensured that everyone wenthome safely as well, which iswhat we always want to see.”

Sheriff Susan Benton com-mended all involved for theiroutstanding teamwork.

“Congratulations to every-one involved and this showsagain how important atten-tiveness to traffic enforce-ment results in successfulcase work. The officers anddeputies conducted the traf-fic stop by the book and asthings escalated, additionalresources were called in toincrease the probability ofcapture. Our citizens can beproud once again of the lawenforcement preparedness inour county.”

The cases remain open atthis time. Anyone with infor-

mation on these cases isrequested to call either theHCSO CriminalInvestigations Unit at 863-260-0106 and speak withDet. Mike Huften or theSebring Police Department at471-5107 and speak withDet. Lucretia Milbrecht.

SEBRING — County teensand parents are getting intothe swing of a new schoolyear. For students in grades7-12, Teen Court is an impor-tant part of the academicyear.

This year’s Teen Courtintroduction will take placeThursday, Sept. 6. The TeenCourt is a program run byHighlands County teens thatteaches teenagers ages 12-17lessons in life through the useof the court system.

For years, the Teen Courthas been teaching disciplineas well as consequencesthrough its program. Studentsserve in every role of thecourt, with the exception of

judge, and must work togeth-er to accomplish a verdict ineach trial. Handing out pun-ishments for crimes commit-ted as well as teachingaccountability is the maingoal of the program.

Students participate in theprogram by acting as TeenCourt defense and prosecu-tion attorneys, bailiff and theclerk. Attorneys must presentevidence in each case after apretrial interview with thedefendant and their parent orguardians.

Jury members collectivelydecide each defendant’s pun-ishment based on the actionsof their peers as well as anyharm they may have causedto a victim or to the commu-nity/school.

The court is run similar toa real court in which mattersthat occur within the courtmay not be repeated outsideof the court.

Teens participating in theprogram are selected basedon their academic standings.Teens must be in a goodstanding to be members ofthe Teen Court program.

Court introduction andproceedings will be held atthe Highlands CountyCourthouse, 403 S.Commerce Ave. The intro-duction will be held in thebasement jury assemblyroom. Volunteers are stillbeing taken for the program.Contact Teen Court ProgramCoordinator Melisa Sowersat 402-6986.

Students, of course, havethe most challenging timebefore them — which isexactly how it should be.Taking on new teachers, newmaterial and new levels ofthinking while masteringfacts and skills and beingheld to account is a dauntingprocess. More to the point, itis also exciting, adventurousand rewarding, which iswhere parents come in.

Parents have the mostimportant role, and difficultadjustments of their own.

For example, putting awaythe freedoms of summer anddeveloping a work routinethat includes eight hours ofsleep and getting children toschool on time, every schoolday.

A parent’s most critical jobis to encourage effort andcongratulate work well done.Parents set the tone in thehome. They are most suc-cessful when they set the

example — meeting theirchildren’s teachers, creatingquiet times for study, check-ing on homework and readingmessages sent from school.Caring about education is thebest way to get our childrento care about it, too.

Teachers, at least the expe-rienced ones, know how toadjust to each new schoolyear, having spent the sum-mer reviewing what workedwell before and what couldhave worked better. New stu-dents mean new challengesand new projects, new mindsto inspire with learning. Thegreat teachers, refreshedfrom vacation, can’t wait toget started.

Those of us who havenothing to do with schools orstudents must also make ouradjustments. Especially thedrivers among us.

School buses are back onthe road. Children of all agesline up at bus stops early inthe morning. Young adults —adolescent masters of theuniverse — wander acrossstreets without looking eitherway. And, of course, schoolzones are back in place.

Our job as drivers is toslow down, come to completestops and pay attention to ourperipheral vision.

With all the rattled nerves,the changed habits, thegreater discipline and sacri-fice needed, many of us lookat the start of another schoolyear as an exercise in torture.

We forget that discipline,sacrifice and effort is howpeople get ahead. A formaleducation, in other words, isthe best way to prepare foradulthood.

Let’s not forget all thegood things about a newschool year. The most won-derful thing is its promise ofhope. It is the appropriatetime to think positive. Paperis still blank. Pencils are stillsharp. Anything is possible.Everything is a fresh start.

We hope this is anotheryear when the communityunites behind its teachers andschool administrators for thebenefit of the students.

So, remember: Drivers,beware. Teachers, prepare.Parents, set an example. Andyou students, learn things andgrow.

Time for everybody to readjustfor a new school year

School is backin session. Weall have to

make adjustments.

A pledge to continueinvestigating problemsEditor:

On Aug. 8, 2012 the two local papersprinted a letter I sent to the opinionsection. It was about bureaucratsreceiving contracts that were not war-ranted. The job of administrator is ajob, just a job. It is not due extraextravagant benefits and large separa-tion checks. After all, aren’t they serv-ing the public? I made a remark aboutMr. (Rick) Helms getting a very gener-ous check on his separation that some-one took exception to.

Shortly after noon on Aug. 9, 2012 Ipicked up my mail at the post officeand I had a letter from an anonymousperson. The letter stated I should leavethe county if I did not like how it wasrun. Since the letter was sent by a cow-ard who likes to operate in the dark,much like most politicians want to,instead of the “sunshine” required bythe Florida law, I have decided to takethe letter as a threat. His last sentence,and only he/she knows what that was,shows me he/she is obtuse.

I gave out my e-mail address andseveral people contacted me. Half ofthem just wanted to know who the twopoliticians were who voted to raise ourtax. Some asked about some of my pre-vious letter that was printed. Only onewas upset with me and he signed hisname.

Then I read the article about the per-son who was sending letters anony-mously to the paper. Then I read a col-umn written by Senator Paula Dockery.Every government employee in Floridashould be compelled to read it.

I was a manufacturing engineer andquality engineer hired to do capabilityanalysis for manufacturing facilities.One plant manager told me that I wasreally persistent in asking question andinvestigating their problems. I am goingto be even more persistent in investigat-ing problems that cost the taxpayers ofHighlands County. Hopefully I can getaccurate and up-to-date records from

the county. As always I can be reachedat [email protected]

A step back in time, part 2

Editor:Pick up a sand point, some five-foot

joint of pipe and a pitcher pump. Thatwas hard labor, driving a well down byhand. For light, you had to stop atSmith Hardware and pick up a kerosenelamp. Telephone service was just some-thing you done without.

I remember Mr. Altvater telling memany years ago: When Sebring Utilitiesfirst opened up, they only ran from darkuntil 11 p.m. Then they shut down.Then a little later, when women startedgetting electric washing machines,Sebring Utilities ran a half day Mondaymorning for women to do their familylaundry.

Kmart first opened up November1978 on Lakeview Drive andKenilworth Boulevard. Walmart firstopened November 1984, on U.S. 27South. Then in February 1992, Kmartopened up in Lakeshore Mall. Then inOctober 1993, Walmart opened up onU.S. 27 North. Then several years later,Walmart added the Super Center. Thenin May 2001, Home Depot opened up.

Today when people need or wantsomething they just go to the store andpick it up and take it home. In the early1900s, the only shopping center theearly pioneers had in Sebring was theSears Roebuck catalog. Sears Roebuckand Co. furnished their own addressenvelope and order blanks. They had ascale in back of their catalog to figureyour postage by. This is the addresswhere it was sent: Atlanta GeorgiaSears Roebuck and Co., Federal Annex,Atlanta, Ga. Usually it took about aweek to receive your order. I remembermy dad telling me - when you receivedyour first Sears catalog, you had to paya $2 deposit. Then, when you gavethem an order, they refunded your $2.

William SchlosserSebring

If your kidswere in the AvonPark Walmart onSaturday and com-plained about agrumpy womangetting on to them,that grumpywoman might havebeen me.

I ran into thestore to pick up afew last-minuteschool suppliesand something tofix for supper when Inoticed these two youngboys riding (almost racing)down the aisle on themotorized carts that arenormally parked at thefront door for customerswho need the assistance todo their shopping.

These boys not onlywent down the aisle I wason, but I soon discoveredthey were going up anddown several of the aisles,bumping into other cus-tomers carts, laughing andcarrying on like they hadno respect. My two kidswere with me and juststared at me in disbelief.Other consumers in theaisle also looked around,hoping to see some kind ofexplanation.

When my 16-year-oldbegan begging me to lethim go say something I fig-ured I’d better step up. Iknew I was frustrated bytheir actions, but I at leastknow how to control mostof my frustrations. As it iswith many young men, thejury is still out on Danielcontrolling his.

I stepped to the end ofthe aisle and there theywere, racing around theisland freezers of meat. Iasked if either of them hadbroken legs or any otherreason rendering it neces-sary for them to be ridingaround on the scooters.When they replied to thenegative, I told them theyneeded to take the cartsback to the front and parkthem so that customerswho might have a legiti-mate need could find thecarts.

The one who appeared tobe the youngest of the twodidn’t say anything otherthan “yes ma’am,” againgiving me a glimmer ofhope for this next genera-tion. The one who appearedto be the older shot downthat glimmer when he sar-castically said “I had some-thing done to my shoulder.”

Yeah, right! He hadsomething done to hisshoulder but yet he didn’t

hesitate to ridethat cart up anddown the aisles,around the freez-ers, weaving backand forth to try tododge the shop-ping carts of othershoppers, all thewhile not caring ifhe bumped intothem.

I hesitated for asecond as theyoungsters disap-

peared and then I ques-tioned whether they weredoing what had been askedof them.

I walked to the other endof the aisle and followedthem to the front, wherethey followed the requestand parked the motorizedcarts where they were sup-posed to be.

Instead of just walkingaway, I thanked them fordoing the right thing andexplained again why Iasked them to do just that.I think the one who smart-ed off to me was a littlesurprised to see that I fol-lowed them, but he wasalso the first to say thankswhen I thanked them forparking the carts. OK, thatglimmer of hope cameback.

Once I checked out, Ifound a supervisor and lether know that I was guiltyif she got any complaintsabout a woman getting onto a couple of children forriding the carts around. Shethanked me and said theyoften have customers whocome in and need the carts,but can’t find any becausekids like to come in andplay on them.

I felt a little justified forgetting on the youngsters.

Now, I understand thatemployees aren’t supposedto say anything to peoplewho use the carts, and onmost occasions even I maynot question anyone usingone, but when it’s obviousthat it’s children playing,it’s time to step up and saysomething.

As I explained to myson, correction made with alittle respect can go a longway.

I bet someday those chil-dren will be old enough tounderstand what they didwas wrong even though itmay have seemed fun at themoment. Most of us realizethat about something wedid in our youth.

TALLAHASSEE —Florida is trying to come upwith a plan to salvage thestate’s new restrictions onearly voting, but state offi-cials are running into resist-ance.

The restrictions, which cutthe number of days availablefor early voting, were reject-ed last week by a panel ofthree federal judges inWashington. The courtrefused to let them take effectin five counties covered byfederal voting laws, sayingthey could discourage minor-ity voting.

The Scott administration isnow trying to craft an alter-native plan that could wincourt approval.

But an elections officialfrom one of the affectedcounties told Secretary ofState Ken Detzner onMonday that he will not goalong with the state’s propos-al to trim the number of daysavailable for early voting.

“I’m not going to be easilyconvinced this is not discrim-inatory,” said Harry Sawyer,a Republican from MonroeCounty.

Meanwhile, RepublicanGov. Rick Scott and hisadministration continue to beasked by others to extend thenumber of early-voting daysin all 67 counties back towhat they were during the2008 elections, whenPresident Barack Obama wonFlorida.

Two Democratic state leg-islators and an NAACP rep-resentative tried to meet withScott on Monday to prod himon the issue but they weretold that Scott’s schedule wastoo busy.

State Sen. Arthenia Joynershowed up at Scott’s doorand asserted the push for theearly-voting restrictions wasaimed at discouraging blackDemocratic voters who maycast a ballot for Obama.

“The governor has to makea decision, is he going tostand up on the side of thepeople?” asked Joyner, aDemocrat from Tampa.“...It’s unconscionable that in2012 we would be goingthrough this.”

The state’s changes toearly voting — whichreduced the number of daysavailable for early voting toeight days, as was the case inHighlands County, from asmany as 14 days — wereincluded in a sweeping GOP-backed election law passedlast year. The law allowed thesame amount of hours, but iteliminated early voting onthe Sunday before ElectionDay.

The changes have nottaken effect in Collier,Hardee, Hendry,Hillsborough and Monroebecause these counties arecovered by Section 5 of theVoting Rights Act of 1965due to a past history of dis-crimination. Any changes invoting procedures in thesecounties must be pre-clearedby either the Department ofJustice or a federal court.

In its ruling Thursday, the

federal court ruled that theearly-voting changes wouldadversely impact minorityvoters. The court said thatevidence presented in thecase showed that black votersutilized early voting muchmore than white voters did,especially in the 2008 elec-tion. The court called it

“analogous to (although cer-tainly not the same as) clos-ing polling places in dispro-portionately African-American precincts.”

The ruling raises theprospect of having longerearly-voting periods in placessuch Tampa than in urbanareas such as Miami, Fort

Lauderdale and Orlando dur-ing the November election.

The three-judge panel didstate in its ruling that it mightbe willing to approveFlorida’s early-voting proce-dures if there were guaran-tees that the five Floridacounties covered by the rul-ing put in place a maximumof 96 hours of early voting.

Chris Cate, a spokesmanfor Detzner, said the state isworking with counties to fig-ure out how to proceed.

Sawyer, however, said flat-ly that the number of days ismore important than thenumber of hours for voters.

meals. Schools must offerdark green, orange or red veg-etables and legumes at leastonce a week, and students arerequired to select at least onevegetable or fruit per meal.Flavored milk must be nonfat,and there’s a ban on artificial,artery-clogging trans fats.

At the conference, Hallsdemonstrated some healthyrecipes for curious cafeteriamanagers, joining WhiteHouse chef Sam Kass to pre-pare a veggie wrap using awhole-wheat tortilla.

Halls’ main mission,though, was not pushing newrecipes but teaching cafeteriamanagers marketing strate-gies used to great success byprivate-sector restaurants andfood producers.

The first step, cafeteriaworkers were told, is to stopthinking of lunchtime as abreak from academics, but acrucial part of a child’s schoolday.

“Your job is not to servekids food. Your job is moti-vate kids to be adventurousand healthy eaters,” said BarbMechura, head of nutritionservices at schools inHopkins, Minn.

Her school district recruit-ed parent volunteers to be ele-mentary-school “food coach-es,” touring cafeterias andhanding out samples of fruitsand vegetables. The foodcoaches would also demon-strate eating them. Foodcoaching may seem silly, butkids who have had chickenonly as nuggets or patties maynot know how to eat bone-inchicken and need to see how agrown-up eats it before tryingit themselves.

As the kids graduate tomiddle and high schools, andgrown-ups in the cafeteriaaren’t as welcome, schoolscan tap student ambassadorsto be food coaches, perhapsasking the baseball team or a

popular student athlete dishout veggies. Or, high schoolseniors might give under-classmen samples of a newvegetable coming to the cafe-teria.

Cafeterias also are usingcutting-edge market research.They’re filming what kids eat,test-marketing new productsbefore they go on the line anddoing menu surveys.

SEBRING — CountyCommissioners voted unanimouslyTuesday to reject ChoiceEnvironmental proposed contract fora curbside recycling program. At thetime of bidding, in late April andMarch of 2012 Choice was the onlycompany to respond.

In contention was a change inChoice’s initial offer. On June 12,the price was raised for each cus-tomer by 36 cents. In addition, theproposed pick-up schedule wentfrom weekly to every other week.

The commission was told anothercompany is preparing a presentation.The county would continue its ownrecycling program until an arrange-ment can be made with a privatecompany.

———In another matter, Commissioners

changed the county comprehensiveplan’s future land use map so it wasconsistent with county zoning at thecorner of Peachtree Drive and LakeJune Road in Lake Placid.

The 9.47-acre property is ownedby the MPC Land InvestmentCompany and includes the LeisureLakes golf course.

The property is currently zonedmedium resident, R-3, in the county,but commercial in the comprehen-sive plan.

Because of the difference betweenthe comp plan and county zoning,the property cannot be sold, nor canthe owners get loans from a bank.

The issue, however, was restrict-ed, because the only choice open tothe commission was to either con-form county zoning to the land usemap or change the map to conformwith county zoning.

The R-3 zoning designationallows for four to six dwelling unitsper acre and includes provisions forbusinesses, such as golf courses,water treatment plants, hotels andmotels or nursing homes and hospi-tals.

Medium density also allows for

residential buildings up to 15 storiestall.

Residents in the Leisure Lake areaspoke to the commission. Primarilythey were concerned with over-crowding in the future, especially ifthe property owners one day decidedto replace the golf course with resi-dential development.

“We moved to the area becausethere was no over-use of land. Wedidn’t move to New York City onpurpose,” said Theresa Palm, speak-ing in favor of limiting development.

When Commissioner BarbaraStewart asked if conditions could beput on the use of the property,Development Services DirectorMark Hill warned doing so wouldleave the county open to a lawsuit.“It’s an issue of restricting propertyrights,” he said.

“If you do ask for conditions, Irecommend you get them approvedby the owner first.”

The commission voted to alignthe land use map with county zon-ing, designating the area as R-3.

In a separate vote, the commissionagreed to keep a small portion of theproperty — where the swimmingpool and clubhouse are located —zoned B-3, so alcohol could beserved to customers in the club-house.

———In other action the commission

voted to approve a new wind lineordinance, bringing it into stateguidelines. Now following roads thewind line divides the county intotwo pieces.

A line beginning on State Road70, following County Road 721 toU.S. 98 and then out to theKissimmee River the southern halfof the county has more stringentbuilding code mandates than thenorthern half. Buildings south of theline will have to be resistant towinds of 130-140 mph, dependingon their type, while structures northof the will have to be able to with-stand winds of 120-130 mph.

County rejects Choicerecycling contract

items, from the sheriff’s contractwith Avon Park to buying tonercartridges.

Commissioner Don Elwellapologized to the audience for thetedious process. “But we are trim-ming every bit of fat,” he said.“It’s death by 1,000 cuts.”

County staff have been able toreduce an approximate $2 millionshortfall to slightly less than$500,000. More than $850,00 hasbeen cut.

Commissioners were told thereare still revenues to come in, thelargest of which will be the annu-

al payment from HighlandsRegional Medical Center.

There are, Fisher said, a fewplaces where savings might stillbe found, including institutingoccupational license fees or cut-ting back on recreational funding.

In a complication, the county’scontingency fund is below the rec-ommended three-month operatingexpenses level. CommissionerBarbara Stewart would like to seethe reserve built up to more $14million in order to meet the man-dated minimum and keep a marginof safety.

Elwell agreed that relying onreserves to make up a shortfall

was “like using all the free spinsin Wheel of Fortune.”

He said $400,000 of the reservehad already been used this year,leaving only a little more than$800,000. Elwell wanted to knowhow much more of the reservewould have to be used to bring thebudget into balance. Would itequal another $400,000?

There was no way to answer toanswer the question with preci-sion, Elwell was told, but staffanticipated it would not.

“I want to make sure any cutswe make do not have to bereplaced from general funds,”Stewart said.

Associated PressMIAMI — Storm warnings are being issued across

a swath of eastern Caribbean islands after a tropicaldepression formed in the Atlantic.

The depression had maximum sustained windsnear 35 mph (55 kph) early Tuesday but was expect-ed to strengthen and become a tropical storm later inthe day.

Tropical storm warnings have been issued from St.

Lucia and Martinique up to Anguilla. Tropical storm watches have been issued for

Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Vieques,Culbera, and the British Virgin Islands.

The depression was centered about 580 miles (930kilometers) east of Guadeloupe and moving west at20 mph (32 kph) midday Tuesday.

It’s expected to move over the central LesserAntilles this afternoon or evening.

tary schools, two radio sta-tions, two shopping centers,the courthouse annex, apower station, two condo-miniums, several churchesand professional buildingswere all built in this time.

The 61- bed HighlandsGeneral Hospital was finallyconstructed, opening March11, 1965. Other projects, likea new high school, were inthe early planning stages.

Signs of a new era beganto spring up — for example,the first tower and 40 milesof coaxial wiring wereinstalled, bringing in cabletelevision. The service cost$5 a month and $10 toinstall. It provided eightbroadcast television stations.

Thirty televisions wereintroduced into the schoolsystem, hailed as the latestin modern education.

All this construction andincrease of residents meantthe city’s infrastructure wastested. The Sebring UtilitiesCommission had to build anew electric plant in order tokeep up with demand andproduced a profit for the cityevery year.

Streets and highways werea problem. The cityembarked on a road widen-ing project that includedwidening Commerce Avenueand adding a 30-inch stormdrain from Pine and LemonStreets to Dinner Lake.

Merchants were a forcebehind the renovations. Theyclamored for more parkingas well.

A proposal was made toremove a 32-foot strip fromaround Circle Park. The planwas to create two lanes fortraffic and create 44 parkingslots. There was prolonged,animated debate, with theSebring Womens Club, theGarden Club, and theBusiness and ProfessionalWomen’s Club on one sideand local merchants andbusinessmen on the other.

In a crowded meeting onthe issue, however, the coun-cil refused to go on therecord one way or otherwhen merchants pressuredfor action.

Arteries into the city werealso overwhelmed. Everyonewas in agreement that U.S.27 had to be expanded intofour lanes.

But the highway got

caught up in the politics ofTallahassee and argumentsover a proposed statewideprogram of highway renova-tions costing $300 million.

In a report in the SebringNews on March 16, 1964county commission chairmanJames Creel said of a lobby-ing visit to the state roadboard member WarrenCason, “He sat with his feetup on his desk smoking acigar and did not bother toshake hands with any of usor show us any courtesy atall.” Work on the 8.1-milesection of U.S. 27 betweenFairmount Avenue and U. S.98 had, he said, “not beenscheduled to begin anytimesoon.”

Despite all the businessactivity, the city did not havea cent to waste.

That led to spirited discus-sions over several issuesinvolving new concepts.

Traditionally in Florida,matters having to do withcity ordinances were handledby the mayor in the officialrole of a judge. Then thestate legislature passed a billcreating a municipal court.

All decade long the citycouncil wrestled overwhether a municipal judge-ship should be created.

Mayor James D. Huntspoke on behalf of the idea.“It takes three hours everyMonday,” Hunt said, “andI’m on call all hours of theday and night.”

The council agreed that acandidate for the job did nothave to be lawyer — accord-ing to the Sebring News,mainly “because of the timeit consumes, no attorneywould take it.”

Brought to a vote inSeptember of 1961, a munic-ipal court was narrowlyrejected in a referendum.

Local merchants wantedthe money to go for moreparking downtown instead.

By 1969, however, theneed for a municipal judgeto alleviate the mayor’sduties became obvious and ajudge was appointed. He waspaid $100 a month.

In another issue, a sugges-tion was made to hire a cityplanning consultant to dealwith future similar issues,but the city council and mer-chants didn’t think much ofthe idea. City planners andengineers are consideredunnecessary expenditures,

the newspaper reportedMayor Hunt as saying.Especially as the city had“no surplus; a lack of moneyfor street repairs; was barelymaking payroll; and had nofunds to carry out any futureproposals.” Hunt pointed outvoters had already rejectedthe expansion of the sewersystem twice because of theexpense. City planning wassimply added to the zoningboard’s duties.

Private clubs and hotelslost the right to serve liquoron Sundays after extremelyheated debate. In fact, thecouncil waffled back andforth — passing the dryordinance at one meeting,then voting against it at thenext meeting, and finallyapproving it at a third meet-ing.

In 1965, finally getting

approval to widen an 8.1-mile section of U.S. 27 fromFairmount Avenue to U. S.98, and having bought theright of ways in the 1950s,work began right away.

For a while there was amovement to create a publicbeach using sand dredgedfrom Lake Jackson for thefoundation of the new laneson U.S. 27 — the sand wastaken on the west side of thelake, near the entrance intoLittle Lake Jackson. But theidea had to be abandonedwhen the city could not getpermission from the stateand federal government tobuild a pedestrian bridgeover the highway.

Despite that setback, adecade that began with fear,ended with high hopes forthe future as Sebring contin-ued to grow.

FAMILY FEATURES

Just because you’re going on a

picnic, hiking or camping out,

doesn’t mean you can’t have

great food. These recipes and wine

pairings will take your outdoor fare

from good to gourmet — and you

don’t have to be a chef to make them.

Trailblazer Cookies Wine matches: chilled FishEye Moscato or Sweet Red. Makes about 4 dozen

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar

3 large eggs, at room temperature2 teaspoons vanilla extract1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour1 cup whole wheat flour

prunes,dates, cherries, cranberries and/or apricots,snipped into small pieces)

1 cup coarsely chopped almondsHeat oven to 350°F. Spray with nonstick spray or lightly but-ter two large baking sheets.

Beat butter and brown sugar in an electric mixer until lightand creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Add vanilla.

Recipes fora better picnic

Packing Tips� Tables at established campgrounds or parks can get pret-

ty grungy. Bring a plastic tablecloth with you and secureit with duct tape so it doesn’t blow away. Or, pack somecloth napkins that can do double duty as placemats wher-ever you decide to picnic.

� Just because you’re roughing it, doesn’t mean you can’tadd a little panache to your portable feast. For extraimpact, serve foods on non-breakable plastic ware in an array of vibrant colors.

� Packing wine bottles for a picnic or camping trip can be cumbersome. Toavoid breakage and lighten your load, opt for a three liter wine box with its own pouring spout. Itholds the equivalent of four standard size (750 ml) bot-tles, making it an environmentally-friendly wine choicethat’s easier to transport and serve by the glass. Learnmore at www.fisheyewines.com.

I am a multi-generationalFloridian from HardeeCounty, and we call itswamp cabbage. It is a stewthat has been made in centralFlorida for more than 100years.

Swamp cabbage was madeon the Cracker Trail to feedthe cowboys during the cat-tle drives across centralFlorida, and I bet after along day working cows itwas a welcomed way to endtheir day on the trail.

I have heard of severalway to make it and they allsounded good to me. But Iespecially like it when it hasapplewood smoked bacon init — that’s a little touch thatI added to mine.

You can sometimes findpeople on the side of theroad selling the “boot” —that’s what Florida Crackerscall the part of the tree thatyou bring home to cook. Butthere is still a lot more worklet to get it to a state whereit can be cooked. You haveto keep removing layers ofthe tree until you get downto where it will snap in twowhen you bend it. That’s theedible part. All the layersbefore that will have a bittertaste.

After you get you “boot “prepped, then I cut it intobite-sized pieces, dice thebacon and begin to sauté thebacon with fresh garlic.

After the bacon is ren-dered I add the chopped cab-bage and sauté that for 10minutes more. Then I addbutter and chicken stock andsimmer until the cabbage istender and tasty.

Right before I remove itfrom the flame, I finish itwith a few springs of freshthyme and adjust the season-ing with salt and pepper. Ialso will have made somecorn bread to go with it.

Until next time ... Cheers,Chef.

want him to at least give thebaby a chance to know whohis grandfather is. If thereis no love there when theymeet, we won’t pursue arelationship. He is upsetwith me. I don’t know why,because he’s the one whoasked for the divorce. Whatdo you think about this?

– Confused in PhoenixDear Confused: Your ex-

husband may be upset withyou because he feels someguilt about the divorce, andrather than accept it, he isblaming you for it.

If you think this babymight somehow smoothover the years of abuse youexperienced from him,please forget it. It is per-fectly logical that yourdaughter wouldn’t want toname her child for him afterwitnessing what he put youthrough for so many years –so please don’t let her becoerced into it.

Because your ex is thekind of person he is, itwould be better for all ofyou if the little boy doesn’tget to know him.

You married a self-cen-tered, selfish, controllingindividual. Consider your-self lucky that he’s notpushing for involvement,because if that happens hewill continue to treat all ofyou exactly the way he usedto.

Pointing outdressing errormust be done

with discretion

Did you ever wake up to a drearyrainy day? The overcast skies coatedyour world with doom and gloom.We have the ability to let the sun-shine in our lives; we just have toopen the drapes. It is just that easy.Imagine that the rain has started forreal. There is thunder and lightning,the wind is blowing and you are justwishing for a sunshiny day. Whatcould you do to counteract theeffects of the storm?

The first thing I would do is openup the drapes to see the power of thelightning. Storms get me in “battendown the hatches” mode to protectmy family. I get “to work.” If I can’thave the sun shining in my windowsthen I do the next best thing. I turnon every light in the house. Then Iput on some happy music. I refuse tofall victim to the storms of life.

All week I have been listening tothe God Breezes as they blow mydirection. It started on Monday whileI was in the bathtub. My GodBreezes come to me in songs. Alyric will pop into my head and Iwill start to sing the song. If I don’tknow the words; I look them up. Thesong that came to me was “Let the

Sunshine In” by the 5th Dimension.Every day another sunshine song hasreminded me of my mission to writethis essay. Today I opened up myFacebook page to see a post from adear high school friend who startedchemo this week. Her post was GoodDay Sunshine!

I pulled every sunshine song thatI have in my iTunes into a playlist.

Most of them are pitiful. They dealwith someone being the sunshine inyour life or ain’t no sunshine whenshe’s gone. Here is how I feel aboutthis. No one can be the sunshine inyour life. That is a destructive wayto live. We have the ability to tapinto the greatest light of all. It is thelove that God has for you and in turnthe love that you have for yourself.We were taught in Sunday school tolet our lights shine. How in theworld do you do that? The song said,don’t hide your light under a basket.That is kind of like pulling thedrapes.

It starts with opening up yourheart to love yourself. We are taughtto love our neighbor as ourselves. Ifyou don’t love yourself you can’tlove others. Loving yourself is thefuel that allows your light to shine.Not only does it bless you but yoursunshine warms the world aroundyou. Even after you are gone fromthis life your light will continue toshine.

Open up your drapes and allowyour light to be fueled by the thingsthat make you happy. Get rid of yourclutter. If it doesn’t make you smile

then let it go to bless others. Releaseyour perfectionism because it wantsyou to hide in the dark. Turn on yoursmile and ignite the joy in you bylistening to your body. Get your rest,drink your water, eat nutritious food,go for a walk and practice laughing.Fill your home with good sounds,good smells, good times and most ofall the light that is you.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Tony Scott, director of suchHollywood hits as “Top Gun,”“Days of Thunder” and“Beverly Hills Cop II,” diedSunday after jumping from atowering suspension bridgespanning Los Angeles harborand leaving behind severalnotes to loved ones, authori-ties said.

The 68-year-old Scott’sdeath was being investigatedas a suicide, Los AngelesCounty Coroner’s Lt. Joe Balesaid.

“I can confirm that TonyScott has passed away. Thefamily asks that their privacyis respected at this time,”Scott’s spokesman, Simon

Halls, said in a statement.Coroner’s Chief of

Operations Craig Harvey saidinvestigators located severalnotes to loved ones that Scottleft in his car and at anotherlocation, but that they werenot described in initial reportsas suicide notes.

He said Scott parked his carat the crest of the bridge,which is 185 feet above water,before leaping to his death.

Several people called 911around 12:35 p.m. to reportthat someone had jumpedfrom the Vincent ThomasBridge spanning San Pedroand Terminal Island in LosAngeles Harbor, according topolice Lt. Tim Nordquist.

A dive team with LosAngeles Port Police pulled thebody from the murky waterseveral hours later, Nordquistsaid. Scott’s body was takento a dock in Wilmington andturned over to the countycoroner’s office.

One lane of the eastboundside of the bridge was closedto traffic during the investiga-tion. Cargo vessels moved atreduced speeds through theeast side of the port’s mainchannel during the search,said Los Angeles FireDepartment spokesman BrianHumphrey.

The British-born Scott,who lived in Beverly Hills,was producer and director

Ridley Scott’s younger broth-er. Distinct visual styles markboth siblings’ films — RidleyScott mastering the creationof entire worlds with suchfilms as “Gladiator,” “BladeRunner,” “Alien” and thisyear’s “Prometheus,” TonyScott known for hyper-kineticaction and editing on suchfilms as his most recent, therunaway train thriller“Unstoppable,” starring regu-lar collaborator DenzelWashington.

Scott was a thrill-seekerhimself in his personal life, anavid rock climber who alsoliked driving fast cars andmotorcycles. Still, filmmak-ing was his real thrill.

’Top Gun’ director left behind notes to lovedones before jumping off bridge in L.A.

Butterfly FriendsClub

SEBRING — Larry Smith,a long-time butterfly enthu-siast, met with the ButterflyFriends in July to shareinformation with 25 in atten-dance. Smith started studiesof butterflies in Ohio. He hasalso worked with ButterflyWorld in Coconut Creek andother butterfly plant nurs-eries.

He had several great tipsfor attracting butterflies andprorogating plants. The easyway to prorogate cutting, ifyou don’t have a mistinghouse, is to use a two-literbottle with bottom cut off tocreate an individual green-house for the cuttings. Alsouse equal parts mix of perliteand potting mix. Set theplant in a bucket of two tothree inches of water, leav-ing two or three leaves onthe cutting, place bucket in ashady spot and in aboutthree weeks you can trans-plant.

Another method to growplants was to do the pot inpot method, then you canchange out the plants eachyear very easily. (Pot-in-potmethods – bury a pot andthen put a potted plant insidethe pot).

Butterfly gardening canbring different generationstogether. Very few plants,but a lot of them, are neededto attract butterflies to yourgarden. Some butterfliesonly live for two days whileothers can live 12 to 14days. Butterflies travel fatherthan bees.

The plants Smith suggest-ed are passion vines, milk-weed, porter weed and pen-tas. Other plants you canhave are lantana and cassia.Mexican flame vine is usedby the Zebra long-wing but-terfly and they lay their eggson the tender part of the pas-sion vine plants.

Each plant has a uniquesmell to attract the butter-flies. Hybrid plants are notused by the butterflies. Oneof the enemies of the butter-flies is ants, which will eatthe eggs off the plants.Cardinals will get the eggsearlier in the morning, espe-cially on the cassias.

The Butterfly Friends willhave their next meeting at1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11at the Bert J. Harris Jr.Agriculture Center inConference Room 2. Formore information, call BettyPodmore at 385-2605 orLucy Wheeler at 382-7465.

By SANDY COHENAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES —Phyllis Diller, the housewifeturned humorist who aimedsome of her sharpest barbsat herself, punctuating herjokes with her trademarkcackle, died Monday morn-ing in her Los Angeles homeat age 95.

“She died peacefully inher sleep and with a smileon her face,” her longtimemanager, Milton Suchin,told The Associated Press.

Diller, who suffered anear-fatal heart attack in1999, was found by her son,Perry Diller. The cause ofher death has not beenreleased.

She was a staple of night-clubs and television fromthe 1950s — when femalecomics were rare indeed —until her retirement in 2002.Diller built her stand-up actaround the persona of thecorner-cutting housewife (”Ibury a lot of my ironing inthe back yard”) with bizarrelooks, a wardrobe to match(by “Omar of Omaha”) anda husband named “Fang.”

Wrote Time magazine in1961: “Onstage comessomething that, by its owndescription, looks like asackful of doorknobs. Withhair dyed by Alcoa, pipe-cleaner limbs and knees justmissing one another whenthe feet are wide apart, thisis not Princess Volupine. Itis Phyllis Diller, the poorman’s Auntie Mame, onlysuccessful female among theNew Wave comedians andone of the few women funnyand tough enough to belt outa ‘standup’ act of one-linegags.”

“I was one of those life-of-the-party types,” Dillertold The Associated Press in1965. “You’ll find them inevery bridge club, at everycountry club. People invitedme to parties only becausethey knew I would supplysome laughs. They still do.”

She didn’t get into come-dy until she was nearly 40,after her first husband,Sherwood Diller, proddedher for two years to give upa successful career as anadvertising and radio writer.Through it all, she was alsoa busy mother.

“We had five kids at thetime. I don’t how he thoughtwe’d handle that,” she toldthe AP in 2006.

A Chicago Tribunecolumnist, describing herappearance at a nightspotthere in 1958, noted she wasfrom San Francisco, hailedher as “the weirdest, wildestyet” — and made sure tomention her five youngsters.

Her husband managed hercareer until the couple’s 25-year marriage fell apart inthe 1960s. Shortly after herdivorce she married enter-tainer Warde Donovan, butthey separated withinmonths.

Through both marriagesand other relationships, thefoibles of “Fang” remainedan integral part of her act.

“Fang is permanent in theact, of course,” she oncesaid. “Don’t confuse himwith my real husbands.They’re temporary.”

She also appeared inmovies, including “Boy, DidI Get a Wrong Number” and“Eight on the Lam” withBob Hope.

In 1966-67, she was thestar of an ABC sitcom abouta society family trying tostave off bankruptcy, “ThePruitts of Southampton.”Gypsy Rose Lee played anosy neighbor. In 1968, shewas host of a short-livedvariety series, “TheBeautiful Phyllis DillerShow.”

But standup comedy washer first love, and when shebroke into the business in1956 it was a field she hadlargely to herself becausefemale comics weren’twidely accepted then.

Although she could beserious during interviews,sooner or later a joke wouldpop out, often as not fol-lowed by that outrageous“AH-

HHAAAAAAAAAAAA-HA-HA-HA!” laugh.

“It’s my real laugh,” sheonce said. “It’s in the fami-ly. When I was a kid myfather called me the laugh-ing hyena.”

Her looks were a frequenttopic, and she did every-thing she could to accentu-ate them — negatively. Shewore outrageous fright wigsand deliberately shopped forstage shoes that made herlegs look as skinny as possi-ble.

“The older I get, the fun-nier I get,” she said in 1961.“Think what I’ll save in nothaving my face lifted.”

She felt different aboutplastic surgery later, though,and her face, and other bodyparts, underwent a remark-able transformation. Effortsto be beautiful became amainstay of her act.

Commenting in 1995about the repainting of theHollywood sign, shecracked, “It took 300 gal-lons, almost as much as Iput on every morning.” Shesaid her home “used to be

haunted, but the ghostshaven’t been back since thenight I tried on all mywigs.”

She recovered from a1999 heart attack with thehelp of a pacemaker, butfinally retired in 2002, say-ing advancing age was mak-ing it too difficult for her tospend several weeks a yearon the road.

“I have energy, but I don’thave lasting energy,” shetold The Associated Press in2006. “You have to knowyour limitations.”

After retiring fromstandup, Diller continued totake occasional small partsin movies and TV shows(”Family Guy”) and pursuedpainting as a serious hobby.She published her autobiog-raphy, “Like a Lampshade ina Whorehouse,” in 2005.The 2006 film “Goodnight,We Love You” documentedher career.

Her other books included“Phyllis Diller’sHousekeeping Hints” and“Phyllis Diller’s MarriageManual.”

When she turned 90 inJuly 2007, she fractured abone in her back and wasforced to cancel a plannedbirthday appearance on “TheTonight Show With JayLeno.” But it didn’t stop herfrom wisecracking: “I stilltake the pill ‘cause I don’twant any more grandchil-dren.”

Born Phyllis Driver inLima, Ohio, she marriedSherwood Diller right out ofschool (Bluffton College)and was a housewife forseveral years before gettingoutside work.

She was working as anadvertising writer for a radiostation when a comedy turnat San Francisco’s PurpleOnion nightclub launchedher toward stardom.

She made her network TVdebut as a contestant onGroucho Marx’s game show,“You Bet Your Life.” (Diller,asked if she was married:“Yes, I’ve worn a weddingring for 18 years.” Marx:“Really? Well, two morepayments and it’ll be allyours.”)

By LEANNE ITALIEAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Ken Buddfell for his high schoolsweetheart all over againwhen they reconnected aftercollege.

Both were 25 when theymarried. He just assumedthey’d have kids one day,something he had alwayswanted, but it wasn’t until hisfather died 14 years later thathe even broached the subjectwith his wife. The result?

“I wanted to have a childand she ultimately didn’t,”Budd said. “She said she justfelt like she didn’t havematernal feelings.”

Far less has landed couplesin divorce court, but theBurke, Va., couple — he aneditor and she a nurse —made it through. Budd, now46, said he gave up the par-enting dream and channeledhis fatherly feelings into vol-unteer work on behalf ofpoor kids all over the world,trips his wife came along ona couple of times.

“You both wind up feelingguilty,” said Budd, who wrotea book about his travels andthe reasons for them. “Shefeels guilty because sheknows I wanted this thing butshe didn’t feel like she coulddo it and I feel guilty becauseI’ve put her in this positionwhere she feels guilty, so weboth had to work throughsome things.”

Whether it’s having chil-dren at all or how many tohave, divorce attorneys andtherapists said the issue rearsregularly, but it’s often unre-alistic to think couples canclose the negotiation on kidsbefore heading to the altar.

Talking about it, at the

very least, is a good ideabefore the rings are on.

“You may resent your part-ner for denying you some-thing that is so important toyou. On the flip side, if youpressure a spouse into havinga child they don’t want, itcan be detrimental not onlyto the marriage but to thechild as well,” said LoriFreson, a therapist in Encino,Calif.

It’s easy, she said, to pre-tend a kid divide before thenuptials doesn’t exist.

“Denial and avoidance canbe very powerful, especiallyin a love relationship,”Freson said. “Love makes usdo crazy things. Most peoplein love don’t want toacknowledge the reasons whyit might NOT work.”

Sometimes minds change.David Knoller is 65. He

retired a few months ago as amedical research administra-tor at a hospital near his FairLawn, N.J., home. His wife,Rochelle, worked as a librari-an for more than 20 years.

They have a 28-year-oldson who, Rochelle notedwryly, “doesn’t know howlucky he is to be alive.”

The Knollers met in thesummer of 1976, in line torenew their driver’s licensesin Manhattan. They marriedthe following January. Likethe Budds, Rochelle was 25.Just about all of her friendswere single at the time and ofone thing she was certain:She didn’t want kids.

“I had had a pretty unhap-py childhood. I certainly did-n’t enjoy the child part of it,but my parents didn’t seem tobe having a good time,either,” she said. “I had madeup my mind not to have achild and that was it.”

David, who is five yearsolder, was aware of her feel-ings. He knew he wanted tobe a dad, but love won. Theywere best friends whoenjoyed hanging out together.And they were young. Theywere having fun.

“I figured time was on myside,” he said. “I figured that

it was a discussion that couldbe deferred until we reallygot to know each other.”

It worked, about six yearslater, when Rochelle decidedwithout urging to get preg-nant at a time she was havingtrouble getting her career inrecreation therapy off theground. She trained later inlibrary science.

“I occasionally used towonder if I had found librari-anship earlier would I havemade this same decision, andwill never know obviously,”she said.

Jacqueline Newman, man-aging partner of a Manhattanfamily law firm specializingin wealthy clients, saidRochelle’s turnaround isn’tunique.

A variety of factors areusually at play once some-body comes knocking onNewman’s door. When hav-ing kids is one, a change ofheart by one or the otheroften surfaces, she said.

“Your priorities shift,lifestyles shift,” Newman

said, noting the case of a hus-band she once represented.“Both didn’t want kids, thenhe decided he did once theywere married. She felt com-pletely tricked by it. Bothearned lots of money, sothings like hiring a nanny orquitting her job weren’t aproblem. She just felt like,‘We made a deal. You’rechanging the terms of thatdeal.”’

Count Newman amongexperts who believe premari-tal discussion of when,whether and how many kidsto have can only help, eventhough partners grow older,

careers evolve and mindsmay change.

While her clients are highearners, money comes intoplay for many couples whodisagree.

According to a U.S.Department of Agriculturereport issued in June, a mid-dle-income family with achild born in 2011 can expectto spend about $234,900($295,560 if projected infla-tion costs are factored in) forfood, shelter and other neces-sities to raise a child over thenext 17 years.

That’s a 3.5 percentincrease from 2010.

By DAN [email protected] PARK – Each new

school year, each new sea-son, comes with its’ share ofchanges.

But for the Lady Panthersof the now South FloridaState College, the list is lit-tered with a slew of new.

From the school name, to anew uniform color scheme, tonew assistant coach ChadLong, to a roster that sees sixnewcomers to the 13-playerroster.

And with this flurry ofchange and early stage ofthings, head coach KimCrawford can say one thingfor certain.

“We look really good indrills,” she said with a smirkbefore Monday’s scrimmagewith Southeastern University.“That’s all I can really say atthis point. This (scrimmage)will actually be the first timewe’ve played six-on-six, so itwill be the first time we seethem in a game setting.”

Looking good in drillstranslated well this day, asthe Lady Panthers were attimes dominant in Monday’sscrimmage.

“We’re blocking real welland look strong at the net,”Crawford noticed. “But wedo need to work on commu-nicating a lot better.”

But that will come in time,as freshmen Kari White,Kendall Baum, Abby Rouchand Avon Park’s JamieWirries, along with transfersBrittany Cherrington andAlyse Magnuson get accli-mated with returnees MaleaKalina, Caitlin Tribit,Samantha Klemp, ErynMahoney, Sebring’sSamantha DiGiacomo, ErinFiore and Brittany Hill.

There might have been apreconceived acclimation tothe new assistant, Long,though it has been anythingbut.

“He’s been a great addi-tion,” Klemp said. “He dealsa lot with planning and run-ning our practices, whichtakes a lot of stress of coachCrawford.”

Something which a relaxedCrawford agrees.

“It really allows me to doother aspects of my job morefully,” she said. “We think alot alike and compliment

each other well. Some coach-es might feel threatened, butwe are a great balance and Iwant to win.”

Long’s approach and prac-tices seem to be a step towardthat, according to the players.

“Our practices are veryintense and high in tempo,”Klemp said. “Not only are wegetting better at our sport, butwe’re becoming better ath-letes.”

As for the team, the settingduties will be handled prima-rily by Magnuson, a transferfrom San Antonio, Tex., withWhite, from Winter Haven,and Rouch from Port. St.Lucie also vying for time.

Returnees Klemp, Tribitand DiGiacomo bring abilityand experience on the backline defensively, while for-mer Red Devil Wirries willtry to work her way onto thecourt.

Mahoney, Kalina, Fioreand Hill were among thoselooking very strong at the netMonday.

Adding to the mix, transferCherrington, a 6-foot tallmiddle blocker, and Baum,from DeKalb, Ill., made an

Awards were given to theevent winners, season win-ners, as well as various otherrecognition’s of accomplish-ment and sportsmanship.

And as had been the casethroughout the season, theTour Championship results,as well as the season stand-ings, were hotly contested.

Jack DuPriest took Boys 6-8 season leader ParkerGriffin to a playoff hole andgot the edge for the eventitle, though Griffin held onto his overall lead to win sea-

KEY WEST — DianaNyad ended her fourthattempt in nearly 35 yearsto swim across the Straitsof Florida on Tuesday, herdream of setting a recordthwarted by storms, jelly-fish stings, shark threats,hypothermia and swollenlips.

The swimmer waspulled from the water at12:55 a.m., her crewreported, as a thunder-storm raged and winds andwaves tossed supportboats.

Her team had previous-ly tweeted that she cameout of the water at 7:42a.m., and offered noexplanation for thechange.

In a blogp o s t i n g ,crew mem-ber CandaceH o g a nwrote thatNyad angri-ly shook herhead afterbeing pulledfrom thewater and planned toreturn to finish the swimafter the storms subsided.

“When can I get backin?” Hogan quoted theswimmer saying. “I wantfull transparency that I wasout. But I have plenty leftin me and I want to go on.”

Nyad, who turns 63 onWednesday, was makingher third attempt since lastsummer to become thefirst person to cross theFlorida Straits without ashark cage.

She also made a failedtry with a cage in 1978.

She started this effortSaturday in Havana andlasted longer, and made itfurther, than in her previ-ous tries, her team said.

She swam this time formore than 41 hours.

“She realized that theobstacles against thisswim were too great andagreed at dawn to return toKey West by boat,” Hogansaid.

Another team member,Vanessa Linsley, told TheAssociated Press theswimmer encountered atriple threat of obstacles.

“Instead of getting hitwith one doozy they gothit with three,” Linsleysaid, “They got hit with

the weather, they got hitwith the jellyfish and theygot hit with the sharks allat the same time.”

Nyad was stung ninetimes by box jellyfish onMonday night alone, theteam blog reported.

Overnight was the sec-ond straight night ofstorms.

On Monday evening,the swimmer’s crew wasimprovising ways to pre-vent hypothermia and tofend off further swellingof her lips and tongue.

Though she’s swimmingin 85-degree waters,because that is lower thanthe body’s core tempera-ture, it will reduce herbody temperature overtime.

Her team said she hadbeen shiver-ing.

“We allknow hermind canhandle it,”C a n d a c eHogan, acrew mem-ber travelingwith Nyad,

wrote on the swimmer’sblog. “But there willalways be a point where ahuman body can’t go anyfarther. What no oneknows is where that line isdrawn in Diana Nyad.”

Australian SusieMaroney successfullyswam the Straits in 1997,but she used a shark cage.

In June, anotherAustralian, Penny Palfrey,made it 79 miles (127kilometers) toward Floridawithout a cage beforestrong currents forced herto abandon the attempt.

Nyad has been trainingfor three years for the feat.

She is accompanied bya support team in boats,and a kayak-borne appara-tus shadowing Nyad helpskeep sharks at bay by gen-erating a faint electricfield that is not noticeableto humans.

A team of handlers isalways on alert to dive inand distract any sharksthat make it through.

She takes periodic shortbreaks to rest, hydrate andeat high-energy foodssuch as peanut butter.

“Sports Talk”

By KRISTIE RIEKENAssociated Press

HOUSTON — WhenRoger Clemens pitchesSaturday night for the SugarLand Skeeters it will be thefirst time the 50-year-oldhas taken the mound inalmost five years.

Will he still be the Rocketwho intimidated hitters inthe majors for more than 20years?

Or will his extendedabsence and age leave himstruggling against playersless skilled than the ones heused to face?

Clemens signed with theSkeeters of the independentAtlantic League on Mondayand he is expected to startfor the minor league teamon Saturday at home againstBridgeport.

“His fastball was clockedat 87 mph. All of his pitcheswere working,” said RandyHendricks, Clemens’ agent.“He threw a three-inningsimulated game after anextensive workoutwarmup.”

Clemens and Skeetersmanager Gary Gaetti havebeen talking about this “formonths,” Hendricks said.

Clemens is expected todiscuss his decisionTuesday during a news con-ference in Sugar Land,about 20 miles southwest ofHouston.

His signing has somewondering if it is the firststep in a return to themajors.

Minnesota Twins manag-er and fellow TexasLonghorn Ron Gardenhirecracked a joke when askedabout Clemens on Monday.

“I’ll take that Longhornany day. I don’t know all therules, but I’ll be tampering:We do have a spot, right?”Gardenhire said, chuckling.

Clemens, acquitted inJune of charges he lied toCongress when he deniedusing performance-enhanc-ing drugs, hasn’t played fora team since pitching for theNew York Yankees in 2007at the age of 45.

He went 6-6 in 18 games

with a 4.18 ERA that sea-son.

Texas Rangers pitcherRoy Oswalt, a former team-mate of Clemens with theAstros, is excited about hisfriend’s return to baseball.

“I think he’s going toshow everybody that all thatstuff that he had to gothrough had nothing to dowith the success he had inthe big leagues,” Oswaltsaid. “He said he’s going todo it a little bit and see howhis body responds. I would-n’t be surprised next year ifhe’s pitching in the bigleagues for somebody.”

Clemens has been throw-ing batting practice to oneof his sons often, andOswalt said that Clemens“feels pretty good.”

Yankees manager JoeGirardi, who is three yearsyounger than Clemens, saidit is difficult to get that urgeto compete out of yourblood.

“He’s always loved tocompete,” Girardi said ofClemens. “That’s who he is.He kept coming back. Therewere times he felt he could-n’t quite go a full season,but he gave it as much as hehad. He loved to compete.That’s a hard thing toreplace is that competition.Guys miss it.”

Clemens had two greatseasons with the Astrosafter he turned 40, going 18-4 with a 2.98 ERA in 2004to win his record seventh CyYoung Award.

He was 13-8 with acareer-low 1.87 ERA in2005.

Clemens earned $160million and won 354 gamesin a 24-year career with theRed Sox, Blue Jays,Yankees and Astros.

His 4,672 strikeouts arethird-most and he wasnamed to 11 All-Star games.

Now he will see what hehas left for the Skeeters.

He joins a roster thatincludes former majorleague pitchers TimRedding and Scott Kazmirand Jason Lane, a teammateof Clemens’ on Houston’s

2005 World Series team.“That’s great, if he thinks

he can do it,” Gardenhiresaid. “He worked harderthan anybody I’ve everseen. His routine and pro-gram, I don’t think toomany people could staywith that. If he has contin-ued to work out, he’s proba-bly in good enough shape.(He’s) a big strong Texan.”

It isn’t clear how longClemens will pitch for theSkeeters.

“This is a one-game-at-a-time thing,” Hendricks said.“Let’s see how he does onSaturday.”

Some in baseball weren’tquite as keen on the idea asOswalt.

“He didn’t travel with theAstros half the time towardthe end there,” Oaklandpitcher Brett Anderson said.“I can’t imagine him travel-ing for the Sugar LandSkeeters. I’m sure they’lldraw a good crowd and itwill be fun, but it’s kind ofthose things you read aboutit and you’re like: ‘What’she doing?’”

Clemens is set to appearon the Hall of Fame ballotgoing to voters late thisyear.

If he plays in anothermajor league game, his Hallconsideration would bepushed back five years.

Clemens was accused ofusing steroids and HGH inthe Mitchell Report ondrugs in baseball, some-thing he denied.

The Justice Departmentbegan an investigation con-cerning whether Clemenshad lied under oath, and in2010 a grand jury indictedhim on two counts of per-jury, three counts of makingfalse statements and onecount of obstructingCongress when he testifiedduring a deposition and at ahearing that he never usedany performance-enhancingdrugs.

He was acquitted of allthe charges on June 19 aftera 10-week trial and haslargely stayed out of thepublic spotlight until now.

California is No. 1 in the APTop 25, tossing off theweight of NCAA sanctionsand returning to a familiarplace in the rankings — witha boost from LSU’s prob-lems.

USC earned the top spot inThe Associated Press’ presea-son college football poll forthe seventh time in schoolhistory and the first time infive seasons, edging out No.2 Alabama and No. 3 LSU.

The Trojans, who werebanned from postseason playthe past two seasons,received 25 of a possible 60first-place votes from amedia panel in a close vote.

USC received 1,445points.

Defending national cham-pion Alabama had 17 first-place votes and 1,411 pointswhile LSU, the CrimsonTide’s SEC rival, got 16 first-place votes and 1,402 points.

“We definitely didn’t comehere to be underdogs,”Trojans safety T.J. McDonaldsaid Saturday. “The rankingdoesn’t mean we’ve doneanything as a team. But it’sgood to see we’re back wherewe’re supposed to be.”

Oklahoma was fourth witha single first-place vote andOregon was fifth.

Michigan, at No. 8,received the only other first-place vote.

The Tigers were poised tostart the season No. 1 beforeHeisman Trophy finalistTyrann Mathieu got kickedoff the team a week ago.

In light of that develop-ment, the AP extended thevoting deadline.

Before Mathieu was dis-missed, reportedly for faileddrug tests, LSU had received28 of a possible 60 first-placevotes.

USC was a close secondwith 22 first-place votes andAlabama was third with nine.

The USA Today coaches’poll, which was releasedAug. 2, had LSU at No. 1,followed by Alabama andUSC.

Rounding out the top 10 inthe AP rankings, Georgia wasNo. 6, followed by FloridaState and Michigan.

No. 9 South Carolina andNo. 10 Arkansas give theSoutheastern Conference halfof the first 10 teams.

For the Trojans, theirreturn to national champi-onship contention comes justtwo years after the programwas hit by NCAA sanctionsthat seemed crippling at thetime.

“To be handed down whatthey said could be a deathpenalty, could take USC 10years to come back from,then to have this recognitionand be preseason No. 1 isvery exciting for our fansbecause a lot people thoughttwo years ago that this wouldnot be possible for USC,”coach Lane Kiffin told theAP.

Kiffin was an assistantcoach for USC during its lastgreat run.

From 2001-09 under coachPete Carroll, the Trojans wontwo national titles and playedfor a third, made sevenstraight BCS appearancesand had three HeismanTrophy winners in CarsonPalmer, Matt Leinart andReggie Bush.

At one point, USC spent arecord 33 straight weeks atNo. 1.

But Carroll left for theNFL after the 2009 seasonand Kiffin was hired toreplace him.

A few months later theNCAA hit USC with a two-year bowl ban, plus scholar-ship limitations and proba-tion because Bush and hisfamily received impermissi-ble benefits.

USC went 8-5 in 2010,then charged back to 10-2last season.

And when star quarterbackMatt Barkley decided to stickaround for his senior seasoninstead of entering the NFLdraft, the Trojans, free fromthe bowl ban, were set tomake a run at No. 1.

“There’s not a roof overour heads now,” McDonaldsaid.

And USC is once againtrendy in Los Angeles.

“Do you feel that? Sureyou do,” Kiffin said. “Gamesalready sold out. Just theenergy around it. All thosedifferent things. That’s how itwas before. I’ve talked to

these players about it.”With Barkley, the presea-

son Heisman favorite, alongwith receivers Robert Woodsand Marqise Lee, plus run-ning backs Curtis McNealand Penn State transfer SilasRedd, these Trojans havedrawn comparisons to thosegreat Leinart/Bush offenses.

“They are going to be suc-cessful because of the workthey put in and not because ofthe hype,” Kiffin said.

If USC has questions, it’son the defensive side, wherethe line is thin and the passdefense was spotty last sea-son.

Those potent Pac-12offenses will provide plentyof tests, none stiffer than onNov. 3 when Oregon comesto the Coliseum for the firstof a possible two contestswith the Trojans.

USC and Oregon couldalso meet in the Pac-12 titlegame.

Trojans-Ducks might beonly the second-biggest gameof the day on Nov. 3.

That will also be the day ofRound III of Alabama-LSU,after the Tide and Tigersplayed twice last season, thesecond time in the BCS titlegame.

Alabama won the rematch21-0 to take its secondnational title in the last threeseasons under coach NickSaban.

The Tide are rebuilding ondefense, but return quarter-back A.J. McCarron and oneof the best offensive lines inthe country.

LSU has a new quarter-back, Zach Mettenberger,who the Tigers hope will givethe passing game morepunch, and much of lastyear’s fearsome defense isback — except Mathieu.

The defensive back nick-named Honey Badgerbecame a surprising Heismancontender with a slew ofgame-changing plays lastseason.

He scored four touch-downs, two on punt returnsand two on fumble returns.

His departure was met withmixed reaction by voters, butin a tight race for No. 1 itmade a difference.

“Tyrann Mathieu’s a terrif-ic player, but I don’t think the

overall effect will changeLSU’s results,” said JohnSilver from the JournalInquirer of Connecticut, whodid not change his ballot afterthe Mathieu news. “I don’tthink a corner can make thatbig of a difference. It hurtsthem, but at the margins.”

Seth Emerson of TheMacon (Georgia) Telegraphdropped LSU from No. 1 toNo. 3, behind Alabama andUSC.

“On the one hand, he was-n’t exactly known as a lock-down cornerback and LSUhas plenty of other talent. Onthe other hand, I was in theGeorgia Dome last year whenMathieu single-handedlyturned the tide of the SECchampionship,” Emersonwrote on his blog. “He’s adynamic player. There’s a

reason he was fifth in theHeisman voting.

“That’s why I moved LSUto third, but not any furtherdown.”

The rest of the Top 25 washeavy on Big 12 and Big Tenteams.

Big 12 newcomer WestVirginia was 11th, followedby Big Ten rivals Wisconsinand Michigan State.

The Big 12 also placedTexas (No. 15), OklahomaState (No. 19), TCU (No. 20)and Kansas State (No. 22) inthe rankings to give theleague six teams overall,matching the SEC for themost.

No. 23 Florida is the sixthSEC squad.

The Big Ten addedNebraska (No. 17) and OhioState (No. 18) for a total of

five teams. The Buckeyes, in their first

season under coach UrbanMeyer, are banned for thepostseason this seasonbecause of NCAA sanctions.

Defending Atlantic CoastConference championClemson (No. 14) andVirginia Tech (No. 16) givethe ACC three teams in theTop 25.

No. 21 Stanford is the thirdPac-12 team in the poll.

No. 24 Boise State isranked in the preseason forthe fourth straight year andNo. 25 Louisville is the onlyBig East school in the rank-ings.

By MARK LONGAssociated Press

GAINESVILLE — Two weeksbefore the season opener, No. 23Florida held a rare, open practiceSaturday in The Swamp.

The Gators better hope it’s not anindication of things to come.

About 1,000 fans showed up for atwo-hour session in full pads thatcoach Will Muschamp called a “lit-tle sluggish.”

Florida’s offense, led by compet-ing quarterbacks Jacoby Brissettand Jeff Driskel, mostly struggledin 11-on-11 drills.

In fairness, the Gators were com-ing off a physical scrimmage theday before and were fairly basic inhopes of keeping coordinator BrentPease’s revamped offense underwraps.

Florida opens Sept. 1 againstBowling Green.

“Obviously with today’s technol-ogy, as we all see here, anything

you say, do, show, it’s there, it’s outthere and it’s going to be on theInternet five minutes later,”Muschamp said. “We did discussthat briefly as a staff (Friday). Whatare we doing today? What do wewant to do? What do we want toshow? ...

“At the end of the day, they got toknow when you’re going to call it.”

Nonetheless, Muschamp hasdeclined to show much during histwo seasons in Gainesville.

Saturday’s practice was just thethird open to the public and media.

Saying he wanted to take advan-tage of the team’s one shot at hav-ing the element of surprise,Muschamp closed every practicelast year.

He has opened things up some inYear 2, but the coach still playsinjuries and depth charts relativelyclose to the vest.

He has offered little insight intothe quarterback battle, other than to

insist that Florida can win witheither Brissett or Driskel under cen-ter.

Neither looked polished in teamdrills Saturday.

Muschamp said the coachingstaff would take an in-depth look atthe roster Sunday and put together aplan outlining who will get morerepetitions in preparation for theseason.

“We got to start figuring outwhere these reps are going and thatincludes special teams, offense anddefense,” Muschamp said. “Rightnow, certainly it’s a critical timethese past two days for our playersto take a step forward.”

That includes Brissett andDriskel.

“Yeah, there is no question,”Muschamp said. “We have to startfiguring that out as we move for-ward. I think both guys, looking atit right now, are very even in whatthey want to do.”

Brissett completed 46.2 percentof his passes for 206 yards, withtwo touchdowns and four intercep-tions.

Driskel wasn’t any better, com-pleting 47.1 percent of his passesfor 148 yards, with no touchdownsand two interceptions.

The Gators, who ranked 105th inthe nation in total offense in 2011,are counting on the sophomores toimprove under Pease.

The new offense includes lots ofshifts and motions that could bedeceptive to opposing defenses.

Not surprisingly, the Gators usednone of that in Saturday’s openpractice.

“Stuff that is on tape, people havea book on you,” Muschamp said.“Anything that was totally differentor new, we didn’t do.”

There were plenty of positives.The defense looked stout, as

expected. Running back MikeGillislee solidified his spot as the

starter.

Receiver Frankie Hammond Jr.

continued to show consistency.

Defensive end Dante Fowler, cor-

nerback Loucheiz Purifoy, tight end

Kent Taylor and receiver Latroy

Pittman all were impressive.

And after calling his team soft

late last season, Muschamp said it

will be tougher, especially along the

offensive line.

“Who are we going to win the

SEC championship with? That’s my

question,” Muschamp said. “It’s not

about who we can win with. We

understand what our goal is here

and where we need to go. ... Who’s

ready for this opportunity? We’re

still investing time in everybody,

but we need to start dwindling the

reps down and we need these guys

to continue to pick it up.”
