SEBRING – When talking to Bruce Lybarger, one has to wonder whether there is a corollary between the wheel symbol for Rotary Clubs and those on race cars. He's a fanatic about both. Since 1982, Rotarian Bruce Lybarger has been a C.P.A. in downtown Sebring. He enjoys golf as a social outlet, but prefers watching auto races. He attends the biggies, like the Indy 500 and the 24 Hours of LeMans in France, but his personal favorite is the Twelve Hours of Sebring."I can't put a price on it," he said. "It's an international event encased with a local flair. It's a bonus of living here." Rotary International is the largest civic organization in the world with 1.3 million members. Their motto is "Service Above Self" and "He Profits Most Who Serves Best." ...more

SEBRING — Heading in the right direction. After overcoming some early season adversity, the Sebring High School football team is on the right track. Last week's come-from-behind 13-12 road win over a talented Okeechobee squad was just the start of something big happening for the Blue Streaks this season. Sebring, which lost quarterback Jamarle Fletcher to an ankle injury in the first quarter, trailed the entire game until Sam Robinson booted a 21-yard field goal on the last play of the contest. "The kids hung in there, came together as a team and overcame a lot of adversity against a good Okeechobee squad on the road," Blue Streak fourth-year coach Jared Hamlin said. "This is a huge win for us and gives us a lot of confidence." ...more
