A special batgirl to end the season

Nine-year old Sara-Beth Martin had valve replacement surgery on Good Friday.  She came home from the hospital on April 27.  Since then, she's been slowly getting back into an everyday routine.  That included a visit last week to watch the rec. softball team she was part off, the 10 and under Gators.  Monday, she got to be a part of the action.  Martin served as the Gators bat girl in their final game.  The Gators won the league.  And Sara-Beth?   Mom Becky says Sara-Beth has been "doing great."

People in Dodge County are trying to help out a man who's helped many in the community.

 

A fire early Sunday destroyed the home of firefighter Mark Sheffield.

"One side of the house caved in and the roof had fell in.  There was nothing left, everything was burning," said Sheffield.

Capt. Tony Winborn of the Dodge County Sheriff's Department says it happened between 4 and 5 a.m. at Sheffield's home on Gum Swamp Road.

Sheffield says he can't believe his home is gone.  He says he has been to a lot of house fires but never thought something it would happen to him.

Winborn said fire officials think the fire may have been caused by a short-circuit from a fan. No one was injured.

Sheffield says his family was out of the house and with friends and family when the fire occured.

He says the outpouring of love from the community is overwhelming.
