Good morning. It's Monday, Jan. 25. The Super Bowl is set: Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos will take on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. The demise of one of Lake County's remaining citrus packinghouse serves as a symbol of the struggling industry. Scott Maxwell writes that Democrats should be nervous as they have a frontrunner people really don't like. And see photos of the WWE Royal Rumble from Sunday night at the Amway Center. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great day.
