Despite the inactive hurricane season that is coming to an end, our local American Red Cross Chapter has experienced much activity so far this summer. After participating in a mass casualty drill in April, as well as sending a local volunteer to assist with floods in Minnesota, we continued to provide immediate relief to local families who lost everything in home fires. Our Red Cross has been there when needed. The local chapter would not be able to provide its many services without the many dedicated volunteers and donors who help the Red Cross everyday. Local donors have come through this season, whether it was students at the Teen Masquerade Ball in Sebring, customers at the Fall Garage Sale at the Red Cross office, or riders and sponsors with the annual Ride for the Red Motorcycle Poker Run, which brought in 600 riders from Polk and Highlands Counties, and riders from around and outside Florida. ...more

AVON PARK — When Dan Evers showed up to work Monday morning, he thought someone was playing a joke on him. A 9-foot Burmese python was stretched out along the sidewalk, snuggled against the wall of his State Farm Insurance office at 706 Main St. "I was looking around for the cameras," Evers said. "Then it lifted its head just a little, and I realized this was no joke." ...more

SEBRING — The Legislature won't start its special session until Oct. 3, so Florida's no-fault insurance law will sunset on Oct. 1. That means the car heading toward yours may not be fully insured, state officials have said, and portions of your own insurance may expire. Motorists, therefore, need to ask themselves two questions: * If an insured motorist strikes my vehicle, will my insurance pay the property damage and personal injuries? * If I run into another vehicle, do I have enough insurance to protect me from lawsuits? ...more
