This is what’s good in Highlands County ☀️

It takes a village and I’m definitely thankful for everyone that has been apart of our village from our Family and friends, youth football to high school football thanks to every organization, coach , team sponsor and so many more . God is good all the time and All the time God is good. Tramari Holmes is a humble young man and I’m forever grateful for Him. He’s definitely the Man of our house and makes sure we know that we are loved and he appreciates e everyone.❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾

Life After Football Update 🐉🏈

Stopped by this week to check on Dragon Alumni Tramari Holmes at his new job.

Tramari was our 2024 Roger Scarborough Award winner and an incredible hard working young man. After graduating from Lake Placid High School he attended welding school. A few months ago he reached out to me and said “Coach, I’m graduating from welding school soon, would you help me find local employment?” I made a call and Craig High with High Quality Repair agreed to meet him and see what happens.

Tramari has now been working there a few weeks and they both seem happy with how things are working out.

This is what One Dragon Football is about. Guidance and support of young men as they head towards manhood. Help them learn to be husbands, fathers, men of God and providers. And if we win a few football games along the way that is awesome!

Tramari, we are extremely proud of you and know that you are going to do great things. Craig, thank you so much for taking a chance to continue this young man’s growth!

Please continue to pray for God to bless the program that we are building in Lake Placid, that we can plant seeds even if we don’t always see the immediate results and pray for the coaches and all the young men that are on this journey.

Sent to share from your friends, family and co-workers

Due to the nature of how public my position has been made locally - I feel this is necessary to ensure the proper information is given to the amazing guests who I’ve had the pleasure of serving at Butlers 18 East

I am resigning from my position as Chef at Butler’s 18 East effective Saturday June 20, 2026. This decision was made after careful consideration, as my personal and professional standards regarding workplace professionalism and operational standards and expectations no longer align with those of the owners. I believe it is in the best interest of both myself and the restaurant to pursue opportunities that are more closely aligned with my professional principles and career goals.

I appreciate the opportunities I have been given and greatly enjoyed serving the beautiful guests of 18E and wish the restaurant continued success.

I kindly ask that any questions about my resignation be directed to me and not the restaurant or owners as it was solely my decision.

Regards,
Chef

Tuesday (June 16, 2026), Alan Price was sentenced to 30 years in prison and designated a sexual predator.

January 27, 2023
Alan Edward Price, 62, was arrested on Jan. 17 and charged with sexual battery on a juvenile, and has since been charged with tampering with a witness in a first-degree felony.

The investigation by the Special Victims Unit has revealed that Price likely has more victims. If you are a victim, or know somebody who may be a victim, please call 863-402-7357 or email svu@highlandssheriff. org.

Note: Not all arrests result in convictions. Everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty in court.

Despite all our efforts to resolve our surprise plumbing problem quickly, we are not winning. An ancient cast iron pipe from probably 1917 failed earlier in the week. The City Of Sebring’s insurance company and Paul Davis Restoration are working together as quickly as possible to address the problem. They mobilized a team Thursday and are in the process of cleaning sewer water from under our building. It is not going to be quick or easy. While no sewage is in the building, it is in a significant portion of a crawl space under the building. This, unfortunately, is likely not an environment that is safe for guests or employees at this time and definitely isn’t pleasant. They have isolated the area with containment apparatus. We have decided that WE ARE NOT OPENING this weekend and will know more about a time schedule for reopening early next week. Please know that we are doing everything we can to get us all back to work and serving you beautiful people out there.

LARGE ELECTRIC CAR TRANSPORT CARRIER FIRE SHUTS DOWN TURNPIKE AND PARTS OF I-95

A vehicle carrier transporting six electric cars erupted into flames late last night along the Florida Turnpike near mile marker 120, creating a massive fire that forced the closure of both northbound and southbound lanes of the Turnpike and temporarily shut down parts of Interstate 95.

When deputies arrived on scene, the trailer was fully engulfed. The driver had already disconnected the truck from the burning trailer. Due to the intensity of the fire, heavy smoke, and concerns regarding potential hazardous materials, traffic in the area was brought to a standstill for an extended period while firefighters worked to contain the blaze.

As of this morning, the roadway has been reopened, and traffic is flowing freely on both the Florida Turnpike and I-95.

No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
