Mr. Gulledge had his facts wrong as several letter writers pointed out. Not to gang up on him, but he also offered an opinion that he may wish to reconsider. He opined that Oprah Winfrey endorsed Sen. Obama because both are black. With that line of thinking, her endorsement of Sen. Clinton, likely her second choice, would have been because both are women. ...more

I would like to give praise to the First Assembly of God Church on Kenilworth Boulevard. I went to church there on Sunday for the first time, and they were having a special program, which was Tommy Brandt in concert. Anyone who hasn't heard this young man sing and minister to people through his music should make it a point to see him when he is in Sebring again. A big thank you goes out to the church for having him at their services. ...more

SEBRING — A dryer fire call to 332 Spring Lake Blvd., in Sebring, was answered by the Lorida and DeSoto City volunteer fire departments at about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday. The fire was put out immediately, said Lorida Assistant Chief Swen Swenson on Thursday. The fire was contained to the garage area and no one was injured, he said. When firefighters arrived they pulled the dryer outside and began ventilating the home, which sustained some smoke damage. By 3 a.m. American Red Cross volunteers arrived to help the family of seven. An American Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteer with the office in Highlands arrived to provide help for the family of five adults and two children. The Red Cross was able to provide temporary shelter, emergency assistance for groceries, comfort kits (hygiene kits), teddy bears to help comfort the children and odor-control concentrated cleaner to help salvage items in the home. ...more

Today begins the second day after the new moon, which occurred on Friday at 11:03 p.m. The projection isn't any better today than it was last Wednesday, I'm sorry to say. So, read it and weep –– if you're a daytime angler. There is a very slight, very early, migration bite in areas known to have a high concentration of fish. The majority of fish stopped feeding four hours before and gorged themselves completely from midnight to 4 a.m. There might be a midday bite, but only the smaller fish will be participating, and very rarely a larger fish. A spawning female bass could be caught, but only if you've won the lottery in the last 2 years. ...more
