Slowly on the moveGopher tortoises out andabout for ‘spring training’

Special to the News-Sun
Like a baseball playerstretching muscles and prac-ticing skills during springtraining, the gopher tortoiseis emerging from winter dor-mancy and moving slowlyand steadily through thelandscape in search ofgreenery to eat and a newplace to dig its burrow.
Look for gopher tortoises’distinctive domed brownshells and stumpy legs asthese land-dwellers maketheir way through Florida’sopen canopy forests andsandy areas. The FloridaFish and WildlifeConservation Commission(FWC) asks people toremember that gopher tor-toises are good neighbors, soleave them and their burrowsalone.
“The Florida Fish andWildlife ConservationCommission works with,and is grateful to, the home-owners, landowners, busi-nesses and public agencieswilling to share their landswith gopher tortoises andtheir burrows,” said DeborahBurr, the FWC’s gopher tor-toise plan coordinator. “Thisstate has made progress inreversing the decline ofgopher tortoises by provid-ing direction to developers,including re-locating tortois-es if necessary, and help topeople interested in makingroom for tortoises.”
Florida’s first GopherTortoise Management Planwas adopted by the FWC in2007 and is being updatedthis year as scheduled. Morethan 50 individuals andstakeholders already havemade suggestions onimproving the 2007 plan,and proposed draft revisionsto the plan are availableonline at the GTTAGSharePoint site for reviewand public comment.
To comment, go to
myFWC.com/GopherTortoise and click on the“Management Plan” link.
Since the Gopher TortoiseManagement Plan tookeffect in 2007, an annualaverage of 36,000 acres ofgopher tortoise habitat hasbeen restored and managed;protected tortoise habitatexpanded by more than6,500 acres; and more than4,000 gopher tortoises werehumanely relocated fromdevelopment sites.
“In addition to changes inFlorida’s economy, the needsof the gopher tortoise havechanged since the plan wasfirst approved in 2007,” Burrsaid. “The proposed revi-sions to the plan includenew actions that the FWCand our partners can imple-ment together to improve thestatus of the species, andhelp secure viable popula-tions well into the future.”
She added, “We willaccept written comments onthe first draft of the revi-sions until April 10. Therewill be additional public-comment opportunitiesthrough July on eachimproved draft of the plan.”
In Florida, it is illegal toharm gopher tortoises ortheir extensive burrows,which provide shelter tomore than 350 other nativespecies. Generally, the only
time people should pick upand move a gopher tortoiseis to help it get across aroad. Remember, though,not to put the tortoise inyour car. Do point the tor-toise in the same direction itwas going when you pickedit up, but never put it in thewater because it is a landanimal.
The best long-term protec-tion for this state-threatenedspecies is the people whoare aware of gopher tortois-es’ needs and happy to sharetheir lawns and lands withthe tortoise that can live to40 to 60 years in the wild.

Gopher tortoises on themove ... very slowly
News-Sun photo by SCOTT DRESSELGopher tortoises are on the move in search of new placesto eat and new burrows after their winter dormancy.
County Clerk of Courts BobGermaine said Monday thatafter a week of havingrecords online through anew computer programcalled Clericus, there are nomajor bugs to report.
“This makes accessingthe records cheaper foreveryone and more accessi-ble to the public,” Germainesaid.
Germaine’s office wentlive on March 26, and thenew software allowsrecords to be immediatelyaccessible to anyone withInternet access after theyare scanned into theClericus system, and speedsup many manual processes.
“Preparing appeals, cre-ating ad hoc reports andprocessing electronicrecordings are much lesstime consuming with thenew software. In addition,the capability to processelectronic citations fromHighway Patrol and locallaw enforcement agencieswill be available, creatingeven greater efficiencies inthe traffic division. Thiscomprehensive system willalso provide a seamlessconnection to the FloridaCourts eFiling Portal, help-ing eliminate the need forpaper filings in all courtwithout having to file themin every district,” Germaineexplained.
“We have some minorissues, like making sure thateverything we have is codedproperly, but other thanthat, I am very happy withhow well this is working,”Germaine added.
“This takes less people tojust process a traffic ticketand saves an enormousamount of time. It’s a sig-nificant upgrade toHighlands County’s sys-tem,” said Germaine.
Germaine said everythinghis office has will be acces-sible to attorneys andjudges online.
“There is no need to haveto come down to the court-house, request a document,have staff run down torecords and pull the docu-ment and then do the reduc-tion. With this, you can justcall and we can send it outin an e-mail,” Germaineexplained.
“We are working on thenext step, which will allowattorneys to scan their owndocuments and submit themso that all my office has todo is proof them beforemaking them live. This isalready helping with atighter budget this year andI suspect there will be moreimprovements,” saidGermaine.

The torch takes manyforms. It can look like thetraditional light atop theStatute of Liberty or a busseat. It can even take the formof a hoodie and a bag ofcandy.
When the light is loweredor dimmed or hidden under abushel, even for a split sec-ond, the darkness grows andfear comes knocking.
In the face of that fear,some run, some hesitate andsome stick their head in thesand and hope the fear goesaway. Others fight and strug-gle, especially those whohave experienced fear sodeep they tremble at thememory, but still endure.
Those who strive againstthe darkness often wish forbetter and instinctively rallyin defiance, drawing strengthfrom kindred who have alsofaced and stood against fear.We all seek at the darkest oftimes to gather together toshare hope.
During those gatherings, itseems somehow natural that
someone will raise their headin song. When others join in,the burden seems lifted for awhile, the darkness recedes.We stand united for a time,ready to face the next fear,ready to overcome.
The strongest plant theirfeet and stand and pray todivert the anger that almostalways comes. They don’tseek vengeance.
Those best among usalways seek in those times tolet that torch shine on liberty,equality and justice.
The bravest quietly ask forchange, then they too strug-gle to their feet to shoulderthe burden, driven by the col-lective song, they move usforward by pushing againstthe fears, but the darknessalways pushes back.
When the song rises highenough, those on MountOlympus begin to listen, forthey too know fear. Theyknow the fear of losing con-trol; the fear of losing theirlimited power. Our unifiedtears of frustration are heard
and headed. The darknessthat is oppression, held inplace by those who wish torule through fear, will alsoretreat briefly.
We are all frightened ofbeing enslaved and we are allangered that others will notdeal with us fairly or onequal footing.
The signs at the recentrally in Avon Park explainedthose fears and put a name tothem – we are all TrayvonMartin.
Just like Trayvon, we aresometimes good, sometimesbad and sometimes afraid.Just like the teenager in thehoodie, in the end, however itcomes, we all face our fate onour own.
When that happens, eithersuddenly or at the end of along race, we will all stand infront of the eternal judgealone. Stripped of own limit-ed logic, our excuses and ourself deception.
Occasionally, a tragedyforces us to stand together inthis world and ask for theright to live our lives withoutthreat or fear of retaliationand we face those nakedtruths we all fear.
United by that unfortunateoccurrence that fuels thetorch of human suffering, weseek that which the eternal
judge wishes for all of us andby which we will be meas-ured and found wantingregardless of race or color.
It is during those tragictimes, despite the mediaspin, that we demand it col-lectively with one voice —liberty and justice for all.
With the anticipation ofsprings budding foliageand bright warm sun,comes a child’s anticipa-tion of rolling in the grassand pulling up the daisiesall the while filling the airwith the sounds of laughterloud enough to be heard ablock over.
For some children, thesounds uttered are notfamiliar and friendly butthe sound of cries orscreams. A great number ofour Highlands County chil-dren are victims of neglect,abuse or both. The numberof reported cases of childmaltreatment in HighlandsCounty during 2010-2011was 12.24 percent. Thestate of Florida, with achild population of morethan 4 million, saw morethan 55,500 confirmedcases of child victimiza-tion.
The Champion forChildren Advocacy Centerand its partner agencies areworking together to bringmore awareness to theegregious subject of childmaltreatment. Throughoutthe month of April we willfeature articles that drawattention to the effortsbeing made on behalf ofour youngest and most vul-nerable.
The Pinwheels forPrevention campaign wantsto change the way peoplethink about prevention witha call to engage individualsin efforts which play avital role in the communityin the support of childdevelopment. The goal isto prioritize healthy childdevelopment so abuse andneglect never begin.
DCF Director of FamilySafety Dr. J. Self said, “Itisn’t enough to identify theproblem, we have to investin efforts that prevent itfrom happening in the firstplace.” All organizationsinvolved agree that preven-tion is easier and less cost-ly than treatment.
Katelynn Schuette,licensed mental healthcounselor with Peace RiverCenter in Sebring, has ded-icated her energy to makesure that every child thatenters her room under-stands that they are lovedand cared for. She under-stands how difficult it isfor children to open up and
tell her where it hurts.When she was in the med-ical field she could tend toa child’s “boo boo,” but incounseling the wound isalways internal.Sometimes the youngestand most vulnerable strug-gle to articulate their pain.
Katelynn must dealaffectionately yet factuallywith these hurting childrenbecause, though they areyoung and traumatized, thefacts must be revealed.Katelynn is concerned thatif greater efforts are notmade, these voiceless yetvalued children are in dan-ger of losing their right togrow up without the anxi-ety, fear and danger that iscustomary with most vic-tims.
Katelynn always remindsthe children in her care,from toddler to teen, that“abuse is never their fault,no matter what theirbehavior. The abuser isalways to blame.” Herheart is dedicated to pro-tect and heal with thedesire to educate in orderto prevent. Prevention isalways best, but once weknow of violence perpe-trated against a child, weare to rally for those whocannot protect themselves.
We encourage thosereading this article, as apart of the community ofHighlands County, to getinvolved and become a partof the mission to eradicateour nation of child abuse.We encourage you to rec-ognize the signs of childmaltreatment in its manyforms and learn how youcan make a difference.

Tax demise will be oncommission’s shoulders
Editor:Who wants to kill the Tourist
Development Tax?At the County Commission
meeting March 27 concerning theTourist Development Tax sunsetrequest, (commissioner) JackRichie said it would be a shame tokill the Tourist Tax, referring to thepetition that is being circulated toforce the commission to allow thevoters to make a choice on theissue. Our county attorney had stat-ed that the only way to put a sunsetin the Tourist Tax was to repeal thetax, then reinstate it with a sunset.This would result in a loss ofaround $600,000 of Tourist Taxcollection. Commissioner (Don)Elwell came up with a way toallow the voters to do this withoutloss of tax dollars. ButCommissioners (Greg) Harris and(Barbara) Stewart voted it down,not wanting the voters to decide.
At the Feb. 21 meeting,Commissioner Stewart asked thecounty attorney if a sunset could beplaced in a new Tourist Tax and puton the ballot with the old TouristTax still in place. Then if the new
plan was approved, it would gointo effect and the old plan woulddie, but if the new tax was defeatedthe old tax would stay in place andeither way we would still have the2 percent tax. He answered yes thatwould be possible. It was agreedby the commission that this wouldbe put on a future agenda.
Little did I know that four min-utes before the meeting started, thecounty attorney had informedsome, if not all, of the commis-sioners that he had a change ofheart and would not agree to put-ting a new tourist tax on theupcoming ballot with the old onestill in place.
At that time, CommissionerStewart completely lost all memoryof her own suggestion,Commissioner Harris was fullyagainst putting a sunset in thetourist tax and there was no actiontaken on the matter. So we had twoways to get a sunset in the touristtax without the loss of any tax dol-lars and both were killed byCommissioners Harris and Stewart.
Now the only way they left,wasto do as the county attorney hadtold us, force it on the ballot forrepeal by petition and vote, and ifrepealed, the county could put it
back on the ballot with a sunsetand hope they could get it votedback in.
So who is willing to kill theTourist Development Tax, just tokeep the voters from voting on asunset?

garbage we receive in the maileveryday, or how many wives orkids the candidates have had, whydoesn’t our news media (radio, TVand newspapers) print the facts ofwhat bills each candidate has voted
for or against?I don’t give a darned as to how
many wives or kids a candidate hashad; did they vote for or againsthigh speed rail, or getting usinvolved in wars, or sending bil-lions of taxpayers’ money to for-eign countries, or how a new can-didate stands on the issues.
Let’s get the facts of what a can-didate really stands for, or howthey voted, not the garbage wehave been receiving about their pri-vate lives.

6,250 pounds of foodcollected by Scouts
Editor:The generosity of several local
churches, schools and civic organi-zations contributed to the over-whelming success of Scouting forFood 2012.
From 5-15, the boys of CubScout Pack 846 and Boy ScoutTroop 846 performed more than250 combined community servicehours to collect 6,250 lbs of non-perishable foods for HeartlandFood Bank.
As with any service to communi-ty, these Cub and Boy scouts couldnot have done so without theunflinching help of their schools,which included Sun ’N Lake,Heartland Christian School andCracker Trail elementaries; theirchurches: First United Methodist,First Presbyterian, Grace BibleChurch, St. Catherine and ChristFellowship Church of Sebring;Sebring High School Key Club andother local donors.
The scouts distributed collectionbags to the above organizations andreturned to collect the donations,which they sorted, loaded anddelivered to Heartland Food Bank,which will in turn distribute thefoodstuffs to families across theHeartland.
What made the boys’ effortsespecially fruitful in addition to thesense of community through serv-ice is that Feeding America TampaBay will donate an equal tonnageof perishable goods, from milk tomeats, to be distributed alongsidethe dry goods.

The exercise brought infirefighters of all differentlevels.
“There are people herewith little experience. Someof these guys are fresh outof fire school, some haveseveral years of experience.There is a mix here today,”said Morse.
Morse revealed that anexercise of this size doesn’thappen very often, so theopportunity was much need-ed and appreciated.
With the donation of anempty house by the Churchof Christ in Avon Park,Highlands County FireServices was able to initiatethe exercise in a safe man-ner.
“This allows us a chanceto actually go inside a homeon fire under a controlledsetting,” said Morse. “Thesefirefighters are able to go inand know exactly what todo.”
Inside the house, smallfires were set in one of therooms and a team of firefighters would take turnsentering the home and usingtheir training techniques toapproach the situation.
Search and rescue, venti-lation and extinguishing arethe three main points fire-fighters must master duringexercises to be ready for areal-life setting.
Upon entering the house,firefighters must locate thefire and then extinguish it aswell as locating victimswithin the structure.
The condemned housewas positioned betweenother buildings, making thetraining exercise that muchmore challenging.
Highlands Park firefighterScott Durban was bothexcited and grateful for theexercise.
“Stuff like this is veryimportant. It’s good to seeso many guys out here tak-ing advantage of it.Hopefully we can all learnsomething out here today,”said Durban.
Durban has just over twoyears of experience andknows exercises likeSaturday’s don’t comearound very often. Morseagreed.
“We go over and train inother areas. We have train-ing exercises in vehicleextraction, medical tech-niques, search and rescue,hazmat, but nothing likethis. This is the most in-depth training that theseguys can get,” Morse said.
Durban went over theprocess of what steps aretaken during a house fire
and rescue situation.“There is a first entry
team. That team identifieswhere the fire is and worksto put it out if it is possible.The secondary team comesin and their job is to searchfor and locate victims. Themain goal is to put out thefire if that is possible. If itcan’t be put out the nextthing that has to be done isto ventilate,” Durban said.
Ventilation is key becausesmoke and debris causemajor damage to victimsand fire rescue teams andcan be the differencebetween life and death.
“To get ventilation wehave to get above thesmoke. Heat rises, ofcourse, everyone knowsthat, so we have to getabout it. When it’s thatmuch smoke in a room theoxygen is gone. Cutting ahole in the roof or wall orgetting to a window canprevent what’s called abackdraft. Sometimes doingthat can even cause a back-draft so it’s dangerous
either way,” Durban said.Saturday’s temperature
topped out at nearly 90degrees. Add on pounds andpounds of protective cloth-ing and equipment, and fire-fighters are facing tempera-tures close to 100, but noth-ing makes a fire fighterwarmer than actually beingin the mix during an inci-dent.
“It’s close to 1,300degrees in there. At the verytop near the roof, below onthe ground it’s around 1,000but it gets hot in there reallyquick,” said Durban.
“There hasn’t been awhole lot of fires in thecounty this year, which is agood thing. It’s good thatwe haven’t had a lot ofactivity but it’s been a dryyear. If it gets started it’sgoing to be busy for us,”Durban said. “We want tofight fires. That’s why wetake on these jobs. Thisexercise helps us out a lot.It gives us what we needs todo our jobs, to do it rightand to save lives.”

on this at this time?” Stewartasked.
Conrad answered that shewas withdrawing her recom-mendations and would notapprove a temporary permit.
“I would suggest, unlessdirected with this commis-sion, that I would not evencontinue to entertain a tempo-rary use permit,” Conrad said.
Hill, the director ofDevelopment Services, toldthe commission that he hadsome “real concerns” aboutfollowing through with thepermit if the group had nointentions of following coun-ty code.
“This morning the appli-cant stated that they intend toproceed with or without per-mission. That raises concernswith the staff,” Hill said.
Commissioner Greg Harrisasked why county staff wouldapprove an event and thenwithdraw their recommenda-tion a few weeks later aftermoney was invested.
“Let me interject. You and Isat in the meeting with Linda(Conrad) and told them thatthey could proceed with this.
Two weeks later, there is aproblem with code,” Harrissaid.
“At the time they weregiven the permission to pro-ceed with this, that was at theend of a meeting. In thefuture, we will be much moreconscious that we have all thefacts before we make a deci-sion on these issues,” Hillsaid.
“I am still very concernedfor anyone here that will sithere and say ‘yes I will vio-late the code,’” Hill said.
“In my 35 years of doingthis, I have never seen anyonesit before an elected body andtell them they would violatethe county code. I have con-cerns to what effort they willexert to try to comply,” Hillsaid.
Chairman Jack Richieinterpreted Kennedy’s ‘yes’ toStewart’s question about con-tinuing without a permit into athreat.
“To have a person comebefore this commission andsay, no matter what you say Iam going to do what I want todo ... I commend you forwithdrawing your endorse-
ment of this situation,” Richiesaid.
Richie asked how much afine would be per county codeand was told by staff that thefine was traditionally $50 perincident with a maximum of$250.
“How can we charge a$5,000-per-incident fine if theevent happened without a per-mit?” Richie asked.
“Any threats you make isnot well received by thischair. I will not be threatenedto stop or endorse something.I really object to the thingsthat have gone on out on thestreets,” Richie said.
Richie was told by countystaff that commissionerswould have to change countyordinance to get the fines upto the levels that Richierequested.
“I would like to see amotion to withdraw this per-mit and have it brought backin the future after due dili-gence,” Richie said.
“Mr. Chairman, I don’tthink you are going to get thatmotion. I don’t want to hear itback here next week,” Stewartsaid.

Associated PressA nursing student expelled
from a small Christian uni-versity and upset about beingteased over his poor Englishskills opened fire at theschool, going from room toroom in a rampage that leftsix students and a secretarydead, police said Tuesday.
One L. Goh, 43, forced thesecretary into a classroom atOikos University in Oaklandon Monday, told people toline up and, when some did-n’t cooperate, began hisshooting spree, police ChiefHoward Jordan said.
“It’s very, very sad,”Jordan said. “We have sevenpeople who didn’t deserve todie and three others wound-ed because someone whocouldn’t deal with the pres-sures of life.”
Goh, a South Koreannational, was expelled inJanuary for behavioral prob-lems from the small privateschool of fewer than 100 stu-dents, the chief said. Heappeared to have been plan-ning the attack for severalweeks.
Goh was upset withadministrators and severalstudents at the college,which an official saidoffered classes in Koreanand English and was foundedto help Korean immigrantsadjust to a new country andfind careers in nursing andministry.
“They disrespected him,laughed at him,” Jordan said.“They made fun of his lackof English speaking skills. Itmade him feel isolated com-pared to the other students.”
Jordan said Goh tried tofind a female administratorMonday and began shootingwhen he learned she wasn’tthere. The victims, whorange in age from 21 to 40,were from various countries,including Nigeria, Nepal andthe Philippines.
“It is very disturbing,especially given the magni-tude of this incident,” hesaid. “While he’s being verycooperative with us, youexpect some level of remorsefor someone who just killedseven people that he reallydidn’t even know.”
Police were still lookingfor the gun used, whichJordan described as a semi-automatic handgun that waspurchased legally.
Goh has no criminal histo-ry, but he has debts andminor traffic citations in hisformer home state ofVirginia and was evictedfrom one apartment com-plex.
His brother, a soldier onactive duty, was killed in acar crash last year inVirginia, according to Starsand Stripes newspaper.
Soon after the shootingbegan Monday, heavilyarmed officers swarmed theschool in a large industrialpark near the Oakland air-port. For a time, policebelieved the gunman couldstill be inside. But he wasn’t.
Instead, officers said heapparently drove about threemiles from campus beforesurrendering to officersinside a supermarket.
Police first received a 911call at 10:33 a.m. reporting awoman on the ground bleed-ing. As more calls came infrom the school, the firstarriving officer found a vic-tim suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound,he said.
More officers then arrivedand formed a perimeteraround the school on thebelief that the suspect wasstill inside, he said.
Jordan said there wereabout 35 people in or nearthe building when gunfirebroke out. Of the sevenfatalities, five died at thescene and another two at the
hospital. The wounded are instable condition, and at leastone person was releasedfrom the hospital.
Art Richards said he wasdriving by the university onhis way to pick up a friendwhen he spotted a womanhiding in the bushes. Hepulled over and, when heapproached her, she said,“I’m shot” and showed himher arm.
“She had a piece of herarm hanging out,” Richardssaid, noting that she waswounded near the elbow.
As police arrived,Richards said he heard 10gunshots coming from insidethe building. The female vic-tim told him that she saw thegunman shoot one person
point-blank in the chest andone in the head.
Tashi Wangchuk, whosewife witnessed the shooting,said his wife was in hervocational nursing classwhen she heard gunshots.She locked the door andturned off the lights,Wangchuk said he was toldby his wife.
The gunman “banged onthe door several times andstarted shooting outside andleft,” he said. Wangchuksaid no one was hurt insidehis wife’s classroom, butthat the gunman shot out theglass in the door.
He said she did not knowthe man.
“She’s a hero,” he said ofhis wife.

Associated PressDELAND — Firefighters
and investigators wereexpected Tuesday toinspect the damage at acentral Florida supermarketwhere a small experimentalplane crashed in flamesthrough the roof, injuringfive people.
Initial reports indicatedthe problem was mechani-cal, DeLand Mayor RobertApgar told the OrlandoSentinel.
Three customers werehurt when the planeplunged into the Publix atthe Northgate ShoppingCenter around 7:20 p.m.Monday, said DwaineStevens, a spokesman forthe Florida-based Publixsupermarket chain.
Two people aboard theplane remained hospital-ized in Orlando.
“The pilot and co-pilotwere both amazingly ableto get out of the plane andout of the store,” PatKuehn of the VolusiaCounty Fire Services toldlocal station WFTV.
Lisa Cordova said shewas thrown to the floorwhen the plane crashedinto the meat department ofthe Publix in DeLand,about 40 miles north ofOrlando.
“It was like somethinghad exploded in the store,”Cordova told the OrlandoSentinel after beingreleased from FloridaHospital DeLand. “Theroof just started shaking.All the lights went out.Everybody was justscreaming.”
People inside the storedidn’t know what had hap-pened until they made theirway through the smoke andgot outside, Cordova said.
“The store has suffered
heavy damage inside.When firefighters arrivedthey encountered heavyblack smoke and flamesand it took over an hour toget the fire under control,”Kuehn said.
Cordova said she sawone man trying to extin-guish flames on his legbefore someone pushed herout of the store.
“He was just pulling lay-ers and layers of his skinoff his leg,” said Cordova.“Someone grabbed me andpushed me out of the store.I was like, ‘I can’t leavehim there.”’
Two other customerswere expected to be treatedand released, FloridaHospital DeLand spokes-woman Diane Maimonesaid.
Police identified theother customers as AprilMorris of DeLand andStetson University studentBrendan Beitler. Both werehospitalized in stable con-dition, police said.
Beitler’s father toldWFTV that his son said theexplosion sent a wall offire through the store. Theflames singed the hair onthe college student’s armsand set his leg on fire.
“He literally said, ‘I amon fire, somebody helpme,”’ Douglas Beitler said.He said his son was airlift-ed to an Orlando hospitalbut he would be OK.
WFTV also reported thatPublix employees whodeclined to be identifieddescribed seeing the pilotand a passenger climb fromthe plane with their cloth-ing on fire. A manager inthe meat department wasable to put out the fire intheir clothes and rush themoutside for help, the stationreported.

SFCC students may nowreceive associate of arts,associate of science andassociate of applied sciencedegrees entirely online.
To keep up with thechanges, the college createdthe Technology Institute todevelop new online coursesand train teachers. For,example a 40-hour workshopis offered which prepareseducators to develop onlinecourses with rigor and thenmake best use of them. Theworkshop is open to schooldistrict teachers as well.
“Technology moves quick-ly. The only constant in ourworld is change. Google hasgone from being a noun to averb,” said Jackson.
“Students today are reallydifferent. Their brains arechanging,” she added,explaining that studies haveshown young people show adifference in their neuronstructures, thought to be aresult of the new interactionswith computers, videogames, television and tex-ting.
“The shift in educationresponded to our culturalshift,” Jackson said, “and thepower of technology and thesocial media. We’ve moved
from (the teaching model) ofsage on the stage, to guideon the side. We teach stu-dents the basics, give themthe parameters then stepback and let them take thelead.”
At the same time studentsare taught how to evaluateinformation collected fromonline. “For example, theyneed to know what are validsites,” Jackson said. “Thedifference between a .com,which is out to make money,and a .org or a .edu.”
Beyond the actual instruc-tion and learning, technologyhas opened the world ofhigher education to individu-als who did not have accessbefore.
As an example, Jacksontold the story of one SFCCstudent. A young woman,she wants to become ateacher, but with three chil-dren at home and her hus-band working 50 to 60 hoursa week, she has no way toattend school. With the AAdegree program now entirelyonline, she is able to studyfrom home. On completion
of that degree, she will moveon to SFCC’s university cen-ter to complete a bachelor ofarts degree.
This means by the timeher children are in schoolshe will be ready to teach,instead of having to startschool herself.
Another huge change isthe new opportunities forhigh school students.“Highlands County has oneof the highest rates of dualenrollment in Florida,”Jackson said, adding thatdual enrollment classeswhich meet high schoolgraduation requirements arefree. “It’s totally amazing,”she said.
Jackson did issue a warn-ing. “Online classes are notfor everyone. A student hasto be disciplined, capable oftime management and per-sistent.”
While attending collegelong distance would appearto isolate students, accredit-ed colleges in Florida arerequired to provide onlinestudents with the same sup-port as on-campus students
including the opportunity tojoin college clubs.
As part of that support,SFCC has a portal, calledPanther Central, whichallows students to communi-cate with each other and fac-ulty, access student services,pay bills, and see class offer-ings. “It’s an o-line, one-stopshop,” said Jackson, “to cre-ate a unified digital campus.”
The next shift, Jacksonsaid, will be to e-textbooks,which have been mandatedby the state legislature to bein place by 2014. “We areventuring down that path aswell,” she said. “We want tocreate a fluid transition.”

OBITUARIES
Respress
earlier this year.A mediator from the Public
Employee RelationsCommission sat down withboth sides recently, but noresolution was reached.
According to the commis-sion’s website, the next stepis a “quasi-judicial hearingbefore the Legislative Body(in this case the schoolboard), which takes into con-sideration the positions of theparties and the interest of thepublic ... The determinationof the Legislative Body is set
down in a document alongwith the tentatively agreedupon terms and submitted toratification by each party. Ifboth votes are favorable, thatdocument effectively servesas an agreement. If one orboth sides reject it, the deci-sion of the Legislative Bodyresolves the issues before ituntil the first full fiscal yearof negotiations.”
Union president StevePicklesimer has said he isdisappointed with the negoti-ations so far. Teachers, hesaid, have taken on additionalduties and responsibilities
over the past few years with-out a meaningful raise.
Picklesimer also has ques-tions about the district’saccounting methods, whichhe says show areas wherefunding for one function hasbeen over budgeted, and thenmoved to a different function.“(The district) can afford todo better for (its) teachers,”he said. “How can you have abudget mostly in the red, andyet up in the black? If themoney is there, I’m going tonegotiate for it.”
Teachers are concerned theschool board, as one of the
negotiating partners, will bebiased in its role as the decid-ing Legislative Body.
Ned J. Hancock, chairmanof the board, said the media-tion process as it stands hasbeen in effect for at least twodecades. “Our role is hearboth sides,” he said. “As faras I can tell, everyone hasbeen bargaining in goodfaith. (Mediation) is not theeasiest of processes, but thatdoesn’t mean we can’t sitdown and find a way to pro-ceed.”

Dear Abby: Two yearsago, when I was in 10thgrade, I had a best friend,“Ben.” We talked all thetime, shared secrets andalways hung out together. Inever regarded him assomeone I'd like to date, soI never took his attentionvery seriously.
That summer, he textedme and asked me to sendhim a picture of my breasts.When I said no, he becamepushy. I told him I didn'tknow what he was going todo with the picture, and Ididn't want to get in trou-ble. He was upset that Ididn't “trust” him. I tried toexplain that I couldn'tassume he wouldn't do any-thing to hurt me. We didn'ttalk the rest of the summer.
The following year wehad a chemistry classtogether, and Ben acted likehe didn't know me. Hedeleted my phone numberand dropped me as a friendon Facebook. Now, in ourfinal year of high school,he's in another class withme. He still won't acknowl-edge me and is always flirt-ing with my best friend.
I have cried so muchover Ben. I miss him a lot.I don't understand why he'streating me this way. Whatdid I do that was so awful?Is something wrong withme?
— Bewildered inPennsylvania
Dear Bewildered: Youdid nothing wrong. Youconsidered Ben to be afriend, and I assume thatyou aren't in the habit ofshowing your male friendsyour breasts. It seems onlylogical that you wouldn'tsend a picture that couldwind up heaven knowswhere.
Ben is acting this waybecause he is trying to pun-ish you for not giving himwhat he wanted. He's flirt-ing with your friend to hurtyou and/or make you jeal-ous. These are not theactions of a friend, and thesooner you accept it, thebetter off you will be. Benstrikes me as immature anda user, so be glad you didn'tdo what he wanted. It wasgood common sense.
Dear Abby: Regardingmoney and adult children,should a parent help allchildren equally if they arefinancially able to? Orshould a parent offer helponly to the children in need(medical expenses, kid incollege, new washingmachine, etc.)? If one childhas a high-paying job, doeshe/she deserve any lessfrom a parent in the end?
— WonderingDear Wondering: Before
deciding how to divide yourassets, first discuss thiswith an attorney who spe-cializes in wills, trusts andestate planning. From my
perspective, if you leave anequal amount to each ofyour heirs, it will preventhurt feelings and resent-ment among them after youare gone. Monies givenbefore your death to one ofyour children should be tal-lied and deducted from theamount he or she is allottedin your will — with anexplanation of the reasonwhy it is less.
Dear Abby: I am tornbetween two important peo-ple in my life. My bestfriend and my husbandgraduate this year on thesame day, one at 9 a.m., theother at 10 a.m., at two dif-ferent colleges an hour anda half apart.
My friend says thatbecause I was able to attendmy husband's associate andbachelor degree gradua-tions, I should attend herceremony because I havenever seen her graduate.However, I feel my hus-band's having earned hismaster's degree is a hugeaccomplishment, and that Ishould attend his gradua-tion. What do you think,Abby?
— Undecided inArkansas
Dear Undecided: I thinkyou should follow yourinstincts, because they areexactly right. During yourlifetime you will have manyfriends, but let's hope onlyone husband.

I grew up in the ’70swhere wide bell bottoms,Richard Nixon and“Charlie’s Angels” reignedsupreme. And even thoughHelen Reddy was singing “Iam Woman, Hear Me Roar,”most homemakers of thattime weren’t exactly burningtheir bras, they were figuringout the art of juggling ahome and a career and weremore interested in not burn-ing dinner!
You could say I was oneof the original latchkey kidsfrom that era. My momworked fulltime most of mychildhood, except when wewere really young. She wasorganized and disciplined. Inher words, she ran a “tightship.” Dinner was never aquestion mark. My dad,brother, sister and I werenever left to our own devicesto figure out what to rootaround in the kitchen fordinner; there was a plan andwe stuck to it. As I got older,I was expected to start din-ner before my mom gothome.
My sister and I took dancelessons, piano and my broth-er played baseball. Later on,I had cheerleading practiceto add to the busyness. Butthe question of what was fordinner never went unan-swered. The answer wasposted on the refrigerator inthe form of a menu. Why?
My mother planned ourmeals.
Hectic and busy is here tostay in today’s economy. Thestandard is two parentsworking outside of thehome. The norm is lessons,sports and crazy schedulesfor everyone. Having dinnerbe the dreaded question eachday doesn’t make a lick ofsense. The answer of course,is a plan; a menu like mymother posted on our refrig-erator week after week.
I need to go back toMemory Lane here for just aminute. Even though mymother worked full time, Istill learned to cook. Mymother didn’t think she got apass at not teaching mebecause she held a fulltimejob outside of the home. Toher, cooking was as integral
as brushing your teeth; it issomething you do to care foryourself and eventually, oth-ers in your home. Cookingwas mandatory.
That is my message today.Cooking is essential tohealthy living. Planning iscritical for making it happen.And yes, it’s mandatory.There is no reason not tocook; it’s just a matter ofmaking friends with a plan,getting to know your majorappliances and jumping in.
Don’t be intimidated.Besides the necessity factor,cooking can be fun. This iswhy I do what I do; to helpturn a chore into a joy andmake your cooking anadventure. Yes, it can hap-pen. Come join me and seewhat I mean you knowwhere I live.
Here’s a crockpot recipethat turns a small applianceinto a dear friend — enjoy!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —Mourners gathered Sunday in the coun-try music capital to pay last respects tobluegrass legend Earl Scruggs.
A public funeral was set at the RymanAuditorium near a cluster of downtownhonky-tonks where Scruggs’ music isstill played. His plaque in the CountryMusic Hall of Fame is three blocksaway.
The Academy of Country Music
planned a tribute Sunday night at itsannual awards show in Las Vegas.
The pioneering banjo player whoteamed for 20 years with guitarist LesterFlatt died Wednesday at age 88.
Flatt and Scruggs were best knownfor their song “The Ballad of JedClampett” from “The BeverlyHillbillies” TV series. For many view-ers, the hummable theme song was theirfirst introduction to country music. Flatt
died in 1979. As rock ‘n’ roll threatened country
music’s popularity 50 years ago, Flattand Scruggs became symbols of tradi-tional country music. They went theirseparate ways in 1969.
Before that, their song “FoggyMountain Breakdown” was played inthe 1967 movie “Bonnie and Clyde” andenhanced its status as a bluegrass stan-dard. It had been recorded in 1949.

“Hunger Games” fans
odds in their favorAdaptations of popular books on the big screen are nothing new, but in recent years movie studios have looked to maximize ticket sales by targeting the established fan bases of popular teen and young adult book series. “The Hunger Games” book trilogy is a prime example; the first of four planned movies opened Friday, taking in a record $155 million in North America over the weekend. But while its legions of online fans look impressive when tallied, “The Hunger Games” has many more people to win over if it is to match the box office success of the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” franchises.
In a future, dystopian North America, an authoritarian government forces teens to fight to the death on live television for entertainment. Heroine Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister’s place in the games.
Online movie ticket seller Fandango.com announced that “The Hunger Games” set a record for number of advance tickets sold on its site. Advance tickets were made available Feb. 22, and first-day purchases broke a record previously held by “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” By March 1 the overall record had been set, and on March 20 Fandango reported that 2,000 theaters sold out for the premiere.
Combining fan participation data from a variety of websites, we attempted to give a sense of “Hunger Games’” overall fan base. If all acts of fandom were summed together into one fan base index, here’s how fivepopular series would stack up.*
Teen Bella Swan moves to Washington and finds out that vampires are real – and one of them is pretty hunky.
A young boy discovers that the gods of Greek mythology are real and that he’s the son of Poseidon.
Author Rick Riordan is writing a five-book sequel series, “The Heroes of Olympus,” featuring many of the same characters as “Lightning Thief.”
The second book’s movie “Sea of Monsters” is set to start filming in April. The first movie cost $95 million to make and garnered $88.8 million domestically.
With more than $1 billion made, the franchise is No. 11 in a list of top grossing series — right behind “Twilight” and above “Star Trek.” Harry Potter is at the top of the list.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” parts 1 and 2 both made it onto 2011’s top selling DVDs at Nos. 1 and 3, respectively.
Harry Potter attends school at Hogwarts, learns magic and struggles to defeat an evil wizard.
In a land of elves and dwarves, hobbit Frodo is entrusted with a magical, dangerous ring.
Fans of a book anticipate the movie adaptation, and the movie itself, if successful, creates new fans. Looking at sheer fan volume, the movies based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels did the best out of these four series: 43.2 million people “liked” it on Facebook, and the eight movies made $7.7 billion globally. If “The Hunger Games” hopes to make a similar splash for its first movie, the 3.04 million fans we tallied each would have to spend more than $300 at the theater to equal the first in the Potter series, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”
The trilogy won 17 of the 30 academy awards it was nominated for: 57%
“Return of the King” won 11 awards out of 11 nominations: 100%

SEBRING — It’s animpressive set of numbersOtto and Betsy Soyk havecollected over the years.Numbers like 91. That’sOtto’s age, and come June, itwill also be Betsy’s.
And numbers like 70.That’s how many yearsthey’ve been married. To beprecise, their wedding tookplace on a Saturday, April 4,1942, in a Chicago suburb inthe home of a minister.
“But Otto had to leavealmost right away to be backon his ship by Monday,”recalls Betsy.
The two celebrated their70th wedding anniversaryMarch 31 at Inn on theLakes, surrounded by morethan 60 well-wishers, mainlymembers of their family ofseven children (four girls,three boys), 19 grandchil-dren, 22 great-grand-childrenand one great-great grand-child, along with the brotherand sister of Otto. In fact,only one grandson couldn’tmake it … he had justbecome a father.
The couple celebrated byreminiscing, by dining, bysinging … even by leadingthe gathering onto the dancefloor to the tune of suchsongs as “When Your OldWedding Ring Was New.”
The reminiscing started asthe first family membersstarted arriving in Sebringfor the event. You mighthave heard stories like thisfrom one daughter: “Iremember mom doing thelaundry for all the kids in awringer washing machineand hanging it on the line todry. In the winter, the
clothes would freeze.”And this one, from anoth-
er attendee, a former co-worker of Otto’s at Peter PanPeanut Butter Co. inChicago: “Otto was the bestboss I ever had.”
Otto himself did someremembering at their housein a room displaying his cer-tificates and awards. Hetalked about his two years inthe Civilian ConservationCorps, the 1930s,Depression-era federal pro-gram designed to giveemployment to poverty-stricken youth; about hisfour years in the CoastGuard in World War II, withthe last year spent in fivedifferent hospitals (“I had alot of shrapnel in my bodyfrom the Battle ofGuadalcanal”) and his 38years at Peter Pan PeanutButter.
At the party, Betsy, askedto describe her husband,said, short and sweet, “He’sthe greatest!” And Ottoreplied with, “Her patienceamazes me. How she tolerat-ed me for all these years, Ihave no idea.”
In welcoming the group,one of the sons described theguests of honor “as thegreatest parents in theworld.”
This theme was echoed bystill another sister, who, inrecalling her growing-updays, said, “None of us evergot in trouble, except forchildish things. Our parentscould sit back, enjoy it, andsay, ‘That’s a good feeling.’”
Yes, indeed, a real goodfeeling.

NEW ORLEANS —“American Idol” contestantJoshua Ledet is getting aspecial delivery inHollywood courtesy of hishome state of Louisiana —tamales from Zwolle, atown rich in Spanish andIndian heritage.
Ever since Ledet, a nativeof Westlake, La., mentionedon the Fox reality TV showseveral weeks ago that oneof the things he missedmost while competing inLos Angeles was Louisianafood, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardennehas been overseeing ship-ments of Louisiana eats inwhat he calls a “Feed theDream” effort.
Dardenne and theLouisiana SeafoodPromotion and MarketingBoard sent about 60 poundsof boiled crawfish toHollywood a few weeksago.
The crawfish were fol-lowed by a shipment ofboudin — a Cajun sausage— and then by jambalaya.
The crawfish were a hiton the show.
The spicy boiled critters
were carted out on stage,and the cameras rolled asLedet showed host RyanSeacrest and others how topeel the crawfish.
“We had no idea howmuch of a spotlight wouldbe placed on the crawfish,”Dardenne said.
“It was very exciting, andeverybody was talkingabout it. It was a great boostfor Louisiana.”
Dardenne said the nextdish on Ledet’s “Feed theDream” menu would betamales from Zwolle, atown near the Texas borderthat is home to the annualZwolle Tamale Fiesta.
On Monday morning,cooks at Lakefront Groceryin Zwolle were preparing tosend several dozen tamalesto Ledet.
Ledet, a 19-year-old stu-dent who grew up singingin his family’s church, sur-vived Thursday’s elimina-tion round and is one ofeight remaining contestantsin the hit singing competi-tion.
Heejun Han, a 22-year-old nonprofit organizerfrom New York, was votedoff the show.

He started out at birth asSherman Charles Biener, butchanged his name after meet-ing and taking lessons fromhis dance teacher Lou Wills.
His father helped him bydoing some special changesfor his dance and tap shoes tomake them safer and to func-tion better according to hisspecial dancing moves andtalents. Wills’ great greatgrandfather was the “HighRabbi” in Poland. Willsbrought his 1941 clog shoesfor the club to look at.

KNOW?In Florida, the bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle.
Bicyclists using a public roadway are considered operators of motor vehicles and are responsible for observing all traffic laws.

This coed slow-pitch soft-ball tournament was anexceptional event that had sixlocal teams competing in thetournament.
Each team featured fourspecial athletes playing withthree male and three femalepartners from the community.
“Some of these coaches
and partners have been play-ing in this event for severalyears. It’s kind of like whenpeople play, they get hookedon it. We even have familieswho come out to play onteams. It brings everyonetogether on one field to learnhow to play together in a funsport like softball,” SpecialSTARS Coordinator CindyMarshall said. “The partnerswalk away with more thanthe special athletes do. Thecoaches and people from thecommunity get to know theathletes and treat them withrespect like everyone else.That’s all they or anyonewould want. This event
allows people with disabili-ties to really shine.”
The Avon Park YouthAcademy (APYA), coachedby Pete Zeegers, was thewinner of the tournament.
This was their second yearin a row to win.

By LAUREN WELBORNNews-Sun correspondent
SEBRING – Sebring’svarsity baseball team con-tinued their recentwinning streakMonday night asthey topped visitingBartow High School3-1.
CJ Payne led offon the mound forSebring in the top ofthe first and quickly turnedaway three Bartow batterswhile leaving one man onthat would not get withinscoring opportunity.
In the bottom of the first,
Wyatt Johnson’s RBI singlescored Nate Greene to earnthe first run of the night forthe home team.
The YellowJacketsthen put a little pres-sure on the Streaksas they loaded thebases in the top ofthe second with twoouts, but would bewarded off by theever-present Sebring
defense.Bartow would not be dis-
couraged just yet, however.Yellow Jacket Joey
Starling’s home run was abit too close for comfort to
the left field foul pole, butstill close enough to get thecall that would establish a1-1 tie in the third inning.
Again the Sebringdefense held strong for thenext inning as demonstrat-ed by the firing arm of KyleCunningham, who gunneddown two Bartow runnersthat attempted to cross theplate in the top of thefourth.

News-Sun photo by LAUREN WELBORNLoren Eures races to first on this bunt attempt. She wouldreach safely, but visiting Winter Haven would snatch thewin away Monday night.
By LAUREN WELBORNNews-Sun correspondent
SEBRING – The SebringLady Blues Streaks softballteam would attempt a laterally against visiting WinterHaven Monday night atFireman’s field before fallingjust short in a 8-7loss in the bottom ofthe seventh.
Sebring, who saw achange in lineup dueto some injuries, tookan early lead in thesecond as LorenEures laid down a bunt thatwould bring in AlisonHoffner, who had reached ona single.
Winter Haven respondedwith a run of their own in thenext inning to settle the score
at 1-1.Emily Gilbert got the ball
rolling in the bottom of thethird with an RBI single fol-lowed immediately by thesame from Hoffner to seeSebring in the lead 3-1.
While tightening downtheir defense with theleadership of startingpitcher HannahLollis, the next twoinnings remainedscoreless for bothsides of the field.
Perhaps the heavyschedule before the weekendstarted to get to the Streaks assome fielding complicationsallowed for Winter Haven tostart rallying some runs oftheir own.
Winter Haven tied and
later took the lead in the topof the sixth, and latter addedfour more in the top of theseventh to see the board at 8-3 in their favor.
Unfortunately for the LadyStreaks, their bats were notas lively as their districtopponents during the previ-ous innings; however thatwas quickly changing as theytook full advantage of theirfinal at-bat.
They often say the familythat plays together staystogether, and that seemed tobe true as the Streaks battledback in the top of the sev-enth.
Jayme Faircloth reachedon a fielder’s choice and sis-ter Kara later joined her onthe bases as she drew a walk.
Dino Lower then laiddown a bunt that would makeWinter Haven produce someerrors of their own to scoreJayme.
Carly Hoffner followed upwith a 2-RBI double in thegap and was followed bycousin Alison Hoffner’s run-scoring single to decreaseWinter Haven’s lead to justone run.
The final out, however,was made before that runcould cross the plate, leavingSebring and Winter Haventied in the district standings,both with 4-1 records.
“We’ve played a lot ofsoftball the past few days,”said head coach Joe Sinness.“Thursday and Friday we
grew ever closer, but theSouth Florida Panthers couldnever quite get over the humpin a three-game sweepagainst the HillsboroughHawks.
Friday’s 13-10 loss wasfollowed by a 7-5 setback onSaturday.
Monday night wasmore of the same in a4-3 loss at PantherField.
Though, whereasthe pitching staffwas, as head coachRick Hitt said, “beatup on the mound,” inFriday’s game, Monday’sstarter Justin Tedder wasrolling from the start.
The first two innings wentone, two, three for the south-paw, with just one ball leav-ing the infield.
South Florida, meanwhile,wasn’t exactly pounding the
ball, but did manufacture arun in the bottom of the sec-ond without the benefit of ahit.
Lucas Bagnara and DillonPopovich drew consecutivewalks and Tyler Anderson’sbunt was mishandled to loadthe bases with nobody out.
Tedder then hit a chopperto short that was turned into a
close double play,bringing Bagnara infor a 1-0 lead.
But Jhalan Jacksonwould be a one-manwrecking crew thisnight, when he cameup with two on in thetop of the fourth.
“There are situationswhere you tell them to notgive the batter anything evenclose to hittable,” Hitt said.“But he missed his spot.”
Which Jackson poweredover the fence in left to putthe Hawks up 3-1.
The Panthers answered inthe bottom of the frame,
again without a hit, asBagnara walked andPopovich was hit by a pitch.
Anderson moved themover with a sacrifice bunt andTedder’s ground out to sec-ond made it a 3-2 game.
Anderson then helped outdefensively when, with twoout and runners on secondand third, he made a toughcatch along the fence of afoul pop up to end the threat.
Another fortuitous popheld the narrow lead in thesixth as well.
With runners on secondand third, with just one out,Hillsborough put on a suicidesqueeze, but the bunt waspopped up.
Tedder dashed off themound to snare it and thenthrew to third for the inning-ending double play.
The Panthers then evenedthe score in the bottom halfof the inning.

AUGUSTA, GA — RoryMcIlroy is ready to put hisMasters meltdown behindhim.
McIlroy can laugh abouthis Sunday collapse a yearago at Augusta National.
While playing a practiceround last week, he looked atthe cabins to the left of the10th fairway and joked aboutnot realizing how close theywere to the fairway — only50 yards.
McIlroy would knowbecause that’s where histroubles began.
He hooked his tee shotbehind the cabins on his wayto an 80 in the last round,
blowing a four-shot lead.McIlroy won the U.S.
Open two months later andnow is one of the favoritesthis year.
He says a year ago he cameto the Masters hopeful ofwinning.
The difference this year isthat he wants to win.

again, with a walk,Popovich tallied the firstPanther hit of the game on alooping liner to center.
A double steal, in whichBagnara was dead to rightsat third, but somehow evad-ed the tag, put both runnersin scoring position.
The hitting didn’t contin-ue, however, as the next twobatters were retired.
But a wild pitch hurt theHawks as Bagnara scam-pered home with the tyingrun.
The seventh inning wentby without a run for eitherside and Tedder was twoouts into the eighth whenJackson again stepped to theplate.
With two strikes, anotherpitch missed it’s spot andwound up well beyond thefence in left to give theHawks the lead they wouldkeep.
Because, though thePanther bats would start toawaken and add to their hittotal, the runs just weren’tgoing to come.
Popovich singled to leadoff the bottom of the eighthand Anderson powered onedeep to center – but it wascaught up against the fence.
Two runners would reachin the ninth, a Taylor Laynerwalk and Sam Morgan sin-gle, but they would be leftstranded.
“We had won four of ourlast five, three of four inconference, heading into

Meltdown behind him, McIlroy ready to move on
C M Y K
By TIM REYNOLDSAssociated Press
MIAMI — WhenMonday’s film session andcourt work were completedon the Heat practice floor,LeBron James and DwyaneWade huddled with coachErik Spoelstra and assistantDavid Fizdale for a chat.
Everyone took a turn talk-ing, everyone took a turnnodding.
“We’d be lying to our-selves,” Wade said afterward,“if we said we were playingour best basketball rightnow.”
Even if they did say that,no one would believe them.
Not after seven losses intheir last 10 road games, thelast three of those defeats allby at least 15 points, cappedby rock-bottom for this sea-son so far, a 19-point loss atBoston on Sunday whereMiami set season-lows forpoints, field-goal percentage,free throws made and free-throw percentage.
The Heat have won 15straight at home, the NBA’slongest such streak this sea-son, and started a five-gamehomestand on Tuesdayagainst Philadelphia.
Oklahoma City — whichembarrassed the Heat lastweek — comes in tonight,followed by games withMemphis on Friday, Detroiton Sunday and then theCeltics again next Tuesday.
If there’s a time for theHeat to get rolling again, it
might be now.“It’s not about talk. It’s not
about whatever the percep-tions are out there,” Spoelstrasaid Monday. “We’re not aperfect team, like a lot ofteams out there. Yesterdaywas unacceptable and todaywe worked as a group to fix itand to make it better.”
Spoelstra used that sameword — unacceptable —after Sunday’s loss.
By then, his mind wasmade up that even withanother hectic week ahead,the Heat couldn’t afford touse Monday as an off day.
There’s simply too muchfor them to address.
“It’s not like we’re hittingthe panic button,” Jamessaid. “He’s saying it’s unac-ceptable and we’ve got toown up to it. We’ve got a vet-eran ballclub and we knowwe can’t play that way, offen-sively or defensively.”
Without playing, Mondaywas a good day for Miami inthe standings.
Miami (37-14) is withinthree games of Chicago (42-13) in the race for the No. 1seed in the EasternConference again, thoughjust one game back in the losscolumn after the Bulls’ homeloss to Houston on Mondaynight.
The Bulls and Heat playtwice more before the play-offs begin.
And Oklahoma City (40-13) is now just two gamesahead of Miami in the race
for the best overall record,after falling at home toMemphis.
With 15 games left in theregular season, Miami stillinsists there’s more thanenough time to get thingsback on track.
And in James’ mind, that’smore vital than anythingrelated to how the playoffbrackets shake out.
“Right now it’s not evenabout seeding for us,” Jamessaid. “We have to play bet-ter.”
Like every coach,Spoelstra preaches aboutconsistency.
Pleading for it might be thebetter description these days.
In the past month, the Heataveraged 92.9 points on theroad, shooting just under 45percent.
At home, those numbersrise to 97.7 points on nearly49 percent shooting.
The most glaring differ-ence is the one Spoelstraprobably ranks as the mostimportant — in Miami, theHeat allowed 86 points pergame in the past month, a farcry from the 95.1 they yield-ed away from home.
“We’re much better thanthat,” Spoelstra said. “We’rea tale of two teams some-times and we’re going towork and change that.”
It would take an unforesee-able collapse for Miami tofinish any worse than No. 2in the East, though James andChris Bosh both said that the
memories of being able towin a conference-final seriesagainst Chicago last yearwithout the benefit of home-court advantage mean noth-ing to the Heat now.
“We just have to get backto our spacing, get back toour spots on the floor,” Boshsaid. “We’re focused and weknow what we’re doing.”
The one thing that is con-sistent with the Heat:Confidence isn’t lacking.
James has been banged upfor a couple weeks, MikeMiller remains sidelined witha sprained ankle and Boshmanaged only four points inthe Boston game, tying a sea-son-low.
James says he’s seeinggradual improvement, health-wise.
Miller may be back soon. Bosh still insists Miami is
the NBA’s best team, sayinghe will not waver on thatclaim.
Maybe a week of homecooking is all they’ll need.
“It’s the time of the yearwhere if you’re having prob-lems and things are goingwrong you have to figure itout,” Wade said. “You don’twant to limp into the playoffsplaying your worst. You wantto go into the playoffs play-ing your best.”

NEW ORLEANS — Kentuckycoach John Calipari hits the roadFriday.
This time, he’s carrying nationalchampionship credentials.
For all his success recruitingplayers and prepping them for theNBA, the 53-year-old’s system ofrecruiting the very best players andnever making excuses about hismethods had never paid off with anNCAA title — until now.
Calipari’s ‘Cats played the brandof basketball he’d preached all sea-son by sharing and creating for eachother in a 67-59 victory overKansas on Monday night forKentucky’s eighth title in schoolhistory.
“I told my wife, I’m glad it’sdone,” Calipari said. “Now I can getabout my business of coaching bas-
ketball and getting these players tobe the best that they can be, helpingyoung people, you know, create bet-ter lives for themselves and theirfamilies and also helping them pre-pare for life after basketball.
“I can get on with that. I don’thave to hear the drama. I can justcoach now. I don’t have to worry. Ifyou want to know the truth, it’salmost like, ‘Done,’ let me moveon.”
He’d gotten close to a titlebefore.
Besides getting to the Final Fourlast year, he’d reached the semifi-nals with Massachusetts in 1996and the championship game withMemphis in ‘08, both of thoseresults later vacated by the NCAAwithout implicating him.
After attracting top talent — suchas Marcus Camby, Derrick Roseand John Wall — the rub grew that
he couldn’t win with young playerswith immediate NBA aspirations.
“It’s hard to look back,” saidCalipari, who’s planning to see hisdaughter in Massachusetts beforehitting the road again. “Right nowI’m going to have two days, andthen I’ve got to go out recruitingFriday. So you tell me to look back.I’m just looking forward. Let’s keepmarching.”
Since arriving in Lexington in2009, Calipari has turned in the top-ranked recruiting class each year athis first BCS school, which will payhim $32.7 million to $38.65 millionover the next seven years.
He had five first-round picks inhis first class led by Wall, then hadthree more reach the pros last sea-son led by Brandon Knight.
But Calipari reloaded this yearwith his best class yet.
“I said this a couple of years ago
and everybody got crazy when wehad five guys drafted in the firstround — this is one of the biggestmoments, if not the biggest, inKentucky history,” Calipari said.“The reason was, I knew now otherkids would look and say, ‘You gotto go there.’ What I’m hoping isthere’s six first-rounders on thisteam.
