PALM HARBOR -- As it does every year, Palm Harbor Middle School will hold two courtyard ceremonies this morning to observe Veterans Day. In 1986, teacher Tony George and his shop class built a "Wall of Remembrance" on which are hand-printed names of more than 700 veterans with ties to the school. The program will feature a color guard and speech. It will end with the band and chorus playing the national anthem as students pass the wall and place flowers by the names of loved ones. The ceremonies, which are open to the public, are scheduled for 9:45 and 10:45 a.m.

Intruder forces woman to give him valuables

TARPON SPRINGS -- A man broke into a home in the Tarpon Shores mobile home park early Thursday morning and forced a 66-year-old woman to give him all her money and jewelry, police said. The intruder cupped his hand over the woman's mouth while he took her belongings, but he did not injure her, police said. He also wanted her car, but the woman did not have one, and he left, police spokesman Tom Hill said. Police had made no arrests Thursday.
