Whether you're a teenager wearing braces or a 70-year-old needing dentures, Dr. Guelff will be able to help you. He's a highly skilled, gentle, kind man who is completely competent. My husband died of lung cancer. As he was undergoing chemotherapy, his dentures quit fitting correctly and became uncomfortable. He went to an oral surgeon in Sebring but he wanted to make an entire set of new dentures. Because my husband was dealing with lung cancer and chemotherapy, he didn't want to go through having new dentures made at that time. This other oral surgeon refused to do anything less than make a new set of dentures. At the recommendation of a friend, we decided to go to Dr. Guelff. He understood my husband's situation and made some adjustments to his dentures which made them comfortable enough for him to continue wearing them.

From summer youth camps to senior programs, they've got it all at South Florida Community College! South Florida Community College is a public community college serving DeSoto, Hardee, and Highlands Counties. It consists of several schools - the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Applied Sciences and Technologies, and the School of Adult and Community College. I've enjoyed several community college programs.
My favorite is the music program. The college is the sponsor of the SFCC Community Orchestra and the SFCC Highlands County Concert Band. These community music groups provide a forum for local musicians to share their talents. Concerts are held in the 1,500 seat auditorium.

Several families in our community have worked to make our local ARC a vital part of our area for almost 50 years. This facility allows mentally retarded adults to earn a living and helps many of them learn the skills they need to live independently. The people who work here make sprinklers for the many citrus growing businesses here in Central Florida. ARC also oversees several group homes in Highlands County and helps place developmental disabled adults in jobs within the community. It is an excellent organization which has helped our family more than once.

One of the reasons I like Publix is that it is a very clean store. I think a store that is clean in the areas I can see has a better chance of being clean in the areas I can't see and vice versa. Publix carries items I cannot find anywhere else (such as Bon Ami); and if they don't carry an item I'm looking for, they are very good about special ordering it. Although I find most of Publix's prices high, I can still find some good sale prices. I think their deli meats are the freshest of all our local grocery stores. Their service personnel are very nice and extremely helpful.

When we first moved to Avon Park, everyone we met asked if we went to church and if so, where. After trying several other churches in town, we landed at First Baptist. We enjoy the Bible teaching, fellowship and activities here. We also cherish the support of all the friends we've made in the past 18 years.

Bill Stephenson and his wife spend many, many hours gathering, organizing and distributing food, clothing, household articles and all the other items that the Church Service Center provides to people in need. When my husband was injured at work, there was a time when we needed food and the Church Service Center helped us out. Their help was given without judgment and they didn't ask for anything in return. The Stephensons are good, kind people - the kind of people this world needs more of.

I got into a difficult situation and needed to borrow some money. The amount wasn't enough to necessitate a bank loan and I didn't want to ask my family for a loan. Some friends suggested that I go to AMSCOT. Because of all the negative things I'd always heard about them, I was afraid to go there; however, I didn't have much alternative. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the people working there were. They didn't ask why I needed to borrow the money and didn't lecture me about managing my money better (as my family might have). In the end, it was a pleasant experience. AMSCOT helped me get through a difficult time in my life and made the situation a little easier for me.
I've been back since then to "buy" money orders, which are FREE.

There have been a couple of times when I've really needed a tire but couldn't afford new tires. You know, a used tire to get me by until I could afford a nice new tire. Florida Tire Terminal has always been willing to sell me a used tire to get me through. They have never pressured me to spend more money than I had and have never made me feel like a bad person because I couldn't afford a new tire. They are in the back half of the building which sits on Main Street between the two sets of railroad tracks, so they can be a little difficult to find.

Our local YMCA sponsors a lot of programs for such a small community and BMX racing is one of them. What was once an ugly, smelly garbage dump became a site where fill dirt and gravel were excavated. About 5 1/2 years ago, the local YMCA bought that site and turned it into what it is today - a fabulous BMX race track.
Practice sessions are usually held on Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Races are held sporadically on Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. Contestants may register for the race between 6:00 and 7:30 p.m.

We needed a driveway extension poured and a concrete pad poured for a shed. Both of these projects were on a steeply sloped lot, which ran down to Lake Verona. No one would be able to drive a concrete truck down to the points where we needed the concrete poured. Our contractor called Jahna Concrete because he knew they would be able to do this difficult job without a problem and they proved him right. Whether you need concrete poured or concrete blocks for a commercial or residential job, Jahna's the company to call!
