Sheriff's officials say burning not Klan's work From Page 1 evidence the burning occurred on the driveway.
"We agreed you cannot show fear in these types of situations," AlKhatib said. "Nor can you run or move away because that makes you the victims of these perpetrators." Winter Haven Mayor John Simmonds condemned the acts as well. "It's totally unacceptable, even though it was probably the actions of some teen-aged pranksters," Simmonds said Friday. "We take it very seriously." Sanders said she grew up in Arcadia and her husband is from Dayton, Ohio. "Neither of us have ever experienced anything like this before," she said.
Sanders said her husband found a 1-by-3-foot makeshift pine cross on their driveway at 1 a.m. Wednesday when he left for work. Although the wood had been burned, authorities say there was no the driveway. A short time later, another family found a similar burned cross resting against their mailbox. That cross also appeared to have been burned before it was placed in the yard, the Sheriff's Office reported.
At 8:30 a.m. Thursday, a third family reported a cross, to the others, in their front yard. Detectives Thursday canvassed the neighborhood of about 50 singlefamily homes in an effort to find witnesses. The last cross-burnings reported in Polk County were in August 1987. Two burnings occurred within about a week southwest of Winter Haven in predominantly white neighborhoods about two miles apart.
Less than 20 hours after the second cross was found, two youths were arrested, and authorities said neither was affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan.

The album won a 1981 Grammy Award for best or' traditional recording.
