Villages gets funding for interchanges


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

The Villages will be getting
transportation impact fees
and credits for building two
new highway interchanges in
a deal approved Tuesday by
the Sumter County
Commission.
The agreement with the
developer is the culmination
of months of debate and nego-
tiations between representa-
*tives of the Villages and coun-


ty officials. It basically will
allow the developer to estab-
lish impact fee "credits" and
reimbursements to compen-
sate for money spent "up
front" on two major projects.
Although there was consid-
erable debate last year about
the appropriateness of using
the funds for the particular
type of project, this agreement
will provide at least partial
reimbursement for construc-
tion of an interchange at the
intersection of 1-75 with
County Roads 466 and 475


west of Oxford and an inter-
change at the intersection of
C.R. 468 and the Florida
Turnpike, northeast of
Coleman.
County Attorney Randall
Thornton listed three items
that were changed to help
resolve county concerns about
obligating all of the fees in
that impact fee district for an
extensive time span.
The first item consisted of a
contractual change that would
limit reimbursements to the
Villages to a maximum of 50


percent of the fe s collected
from construction in District 1
for construction outside of the
Villages.
The second change
described by J Thornton
reduces the timf span for
Villages access to the fees
from 15 years to 10 years.
A third item |allows the
county to give any other devel-
oper in the distri|;t up to 100
percent credit on impact fees
for road improve ents in that
district in conjunction with
other projects.


County Commissioner Jim
Roberts, who has generally
been critical of credits for the
interchanges from the initial
pi ,posal, still had some reser-
vations on Tuesday.
"I still think 10 years is a
long time we're not likely to
even be here in 10 years,"
Roberts said, referring the
board.
Commissioner Mike Francis
argued that it was a reason-
able span. "We have to give
him some time to get back for
the investment he's made up


front," Francis said, noting
that the developer was not
likely to recoup all of his
investment in the projects.
Commissioner Richard
Hoffman moved to approve
the contract with Francis pro-
viding the second.
Even after the unanimous
approval of the contract there
were still some questions
remaining about allocation of
the funds and potential
expense for billboard removal

It's been a year now and
residents of Breezy Oaks RV
Park were ready to celebrate
last week, when park owners
hosted an anniversary party.
From hot dogs to country
music, residents were out in
force and settled in for fun
as local talent took to the
stage to celebrate new park
owners first year with the
business.
Roland Broeman and his
family, new owners, even
brought in Marty the
Magician from the Magic


Shop ii Tampa.
Dozens of residents were
sitting around the main
office, kicked back in lounge
chairs, enjoying the mild
weather.
Broeman said they were
looking to create a "quaint
country place" with a
Cracker Barrel feel.
They've even come up
with their slogan, "The cool
place to be."
Broeman's son Chris said
the family combined the
anniversary celebration
with a birthday celebration
for his dad.

Buster Whitmore appeared more than happy to accommodate the crowd with his music on the fiddle.

believe it will be difficult
learning all he needs to know
as a commissioner. "The

Among the issues dis-
cussed at the meeting were
new policies for police offi-
cers and the presence of
Homes in Partnership in the
area.
The new police policy
would provide guidelines for
the use of force, and specifi-
cally the use of tasers.

ment already has policies in

areas where these kinds of
policies are in place, statisti-
cally injuries to arrestees
have gone down, as well as
injuries to officers. A deci-
sion was made to accept the
new policies.
Commissioners discussed
providing office space to
Homes in Partnership, a non-

citizens build homes.
HIP had requested the use
of the old Health Department

Guardrails Family, pastor remember drummer Wildwood men arrested


under


construction

Croom-A-Coochee resident
Gregory Brown is among the
list of people killed in
crossover crashes, according
to Lt Pat Santangelo of the
Florida Highway Patrol.
He said that out of the 91
people killed last year in
crashes on the Florida
Turnpike, 54 were killed in
crossover crashes.
' The crashes occur when
vehicles crossover the medi-
an between the north and
southbound lanes, and move
into oncoming traffic.
* But the "guardrail is only
part of the solution," said
Chris Deason, public informa-
tion officer for the Florida
Department of
Transportation.
That's because some of
those fatalities are caused by
people ejected from their
vehicles because they aren't
wearing seatbelts, she said.
"Everybody needs to do
.their part."
Part of a five-year work
plan, the $54 million project
was kicked off the day before
Thanksgiving 2003 and is slat-
ed for completion in July of
this year. More than 100 miles
of the 400-plus mile system
already include guardrails
with the current work adding
another 206 miles of
guardrail, according to
Deason.
: Sumter's included in the
stretch under construction.
Work here just started, she
said.
The process takes time
because there's a tremendous
amount of engineering work
involved.

Gregory Brown always had a
smile and a chuckle and a hug,
said Fred Hooten, pastor of
Paths of Grace Ministries.
"He was one of those gen-
uinely nice guys."
Brown, 20, was killed on
Sunday, Jan. 2, while traveling
on the Florida Turnpike in Ft.
Pierce.
Hooten said he was taking a
friend home and had left early
to get the friend home and
return to his home in Croom-A-
Coochee.
A 2003 graduate of South
Sumter High School, he was a
member of the Paths of Grace
ministry, serving as church
drummer.
"He's been one of the most
faithful members of our church
since I've been here," Hooten
said.
He had even been active in
their youth group until he
became too old for the group.
Brown was a member of the
South Sumter High School
NJROTC and employed
drilling wells and servicing
pumps, by Bill Nelson in
Leesburg.
"I just want people to
remember Greg the way Greg
was. He was just carefree and
happy. He just loved everybody
- he didn't have any enemies,"
his dad Ron said.
He was traveling northbound
when a vehicle in the south-
bound lane crossed over the
median colliding with a car in
front of Brown and Brown's
truck, according to Hooten.
He said there were a number
of critical injuries, but Brown
was the only fatality.
"It's going to be hard. Greg
was a kid that anybody would
want," his dad said, adding,

"He had so many friends and
they've all come together. He
was never any problem, other
than the normal things boys
do."
While he said Greg was a
lazy student, he said he was a
good student
"He was smart as a whip,"
and especially when it came to
mechanical things, he said.
"He didn't do drugs, he was a
Christian, he was a super per-
son."


Gregory Brown


The life of the party, wherev-
er he went, he was someone
who loved life, living it to the
fullest, his dad said.
"He would do anything for
anybody. He went out of his
way to help people."
"We kind of butted heads
sometimes because we were so
much alike," he said, pointing
out that he hadn't even real-
ized it until his son's death.
"I'm finding now in his death
that he was a lot like me."
Brown said many of Greg's
friends had come forward, say-
ing how much of an affect he
had on their lives.
Some even saying they
wouldn't be here today if it
weren't for Greg.


He got into music around
2002, learning drums from the
previous pastor of their
church.
"Greg was good at whatever
he wanted to do," he said,
adding that he had already put
in application to serve as a vol-
unteer firefighter.
His parents, Ron and Linda
Brown of Croom-A-Coochee;
two brothers Anthony Scott of
Webster, currently serving in
the National Coast Guard, and
Charles M. Brown of New Port
Richey; one sister, Suzanne
Carter of Jacksonville; pater-
nal grandmother, Ottie Brown
of Auburndale; and maternal
grandmother, Ruby Lisle of
Winter Haven survive him.
Services were held at 1 p.m.
on Friday, Jan. 7 at the Paths of
Grace, with Hooten officiating.
According to the Florida
Highway Patrol report, it was
2:25 p.m. when Dorothy
Theogene, 21, of Miramar, was
northbound on the Florida
Turnpike in a silver Toyota
RAV 4. She lost control of the
vehicle, which began to roll
across the median and into the
southbound lane. The Toyota
rolled over a 1994 Toyota
Camry, driven by Thomas
Frank Harrison, 24 of Miami
and then into the path of
Brown's 1997 Nissan.
Brown was killed on the
scene. Theogene was flown to
St. Mary's Hospital in West
Palm Beach.
Harrison and passengers in
the other two cars were trans-
ported to nearby hospitals.
Brown is one of several vic-
tims killed in a "crossover
crash."
Lt. Pat Santangelo said that
out of the 91 people killed last
year in accidents on the
Florida Turnpike, 54 were
killed in crossover crashes.

killed in car crash


J ennie, Rick and their son Levi
vacation in Florida over the hol-
idays almost every year," wrote
Joe Sefton of his family. The family
lived in Indianapolis, Ind.
iThey were avid Colt and Pacer
f4ns, as well as fans of their sports
enthusiast, their 12-year-old son
Lpvi.
;But most importantly, "They were
dedicated to being together as a
family"
:About two weeks ago, as the
Crawfords were traveling south on
their Florida vacation, they were in
sifngle-car crash near Bushnell on I-
75. It was a collision that took the
life of 36-year-old Jennie and 52-
year-old Rick.
iWhile the family deals with the
loss of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, they
Were fortunate in the life of Levi he
survived the crash.
According to the Florida Highway
Phtrol, it was about 8:25 a.m. on
Saturday, Dec. 18, and Mrs.
Ctawford was driving the 1992
TOyota 4 Runner. She was traveling
onC the outside, southbound lane
wien the vehicle drifted across the
center of the two southbound lanes
a4d then back to the outside lane.
Tie vehicle then swerved back to
tlK inside lane, which caused it to
ldve the roadway onto the center
glIss median and rotate counter-
clockwise, overturning two and a
hqf times. The SUV came to rest on
its roof on the median, facing north-
east, ejecting Mr. and Mrs. Crawford
who were in the driver and front
passenger seats.
According to Sefton, Crawford
'Attended every game, function,


fund raising event never missing
anything that involved Levi."
Crawford also enjoyed playing
poker, fishing and hunting.
As for Sefton's sister Jennie, she
"was the kind of person who always
had a smile and a kind word to give
to anyone. She was willing to help
anyone with anything, even if it
meant putting something she had
going, on the back burner."
Mr. Crawford was born and raised
in the Indianapolis area and was
working as a concrete truck driver
for Irving Materials.
"Rick also had two sons from a
previous marriage Rick Jr. and
Jason."
Along with his sons, the Crawfords
are survived by his parents his par-
ents Buel and Gela Crawford, Helen
and the late Homer Wilburn; his
brother Randy and three sisters -
Linda, Benetta and Wendy, as well
as his grandchildren Morgan and
Gavin; her parents Maurice and
Amanda, her brother Joe and her
sisters Becky and Sarah.
Mrs. Crawford was born in
Missouri and raised in Ill., moving to
Indianapolis her freshman year in
high school. She was working for
Sunshine Pediatrics.
Sefton expressed his gratitude to
all the people who helped Levi
while he was waiting on family to
come get him. That thanks includes
law enforcement, the hospital staff
and administration.
Sefton said he's especially grate-
ful to the chaplain who spent time
with Levi and "kept our family
informed of everything that was

Bring it
on?
A while back, President Bush
told the terrorists to "Bring It On."
Do you think he's had enough or
does he want more?
Richard Sutherland
Bushnell
Nothing beats
Nepotism
In addition to all the Pardon
appointments of the Republican
darlings, there are some additional
appointments of interest.
Your kids have to slog it out at
Wal-Mart while Bush administra-
tion kids get hundred grand a year
jobs! Nothing beats nepotism
unless it's more nepotism! Here's a
few:
Michael Powell (son of Secretary
of State Colin Powell) as FCC
Chairman.
J. Storm Thurman (son of
deceased Senator Thurman) as
South Carolina's U.S. Attorney.
Eugene Scalia (Supreme Court
Justice Atonin Scallia's son) as
Solicitor for the Labor Department
Janet Rehnquist (Supreme Court
Chief Justice William Rehnquist's
daughter) as Inspector General of
the Department of Health and
Human Services. She was later
fired over firearm charges.
Elizabeth Cheney (Vice
President Dick Cheney's daughter)
appointed to be Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Near-East
Affairs.


Now that all the good jobs are
taken, your kids can get out there
and compete with the illegal aliens
for some of those low-paying serv-
ice sector jobs. That's capitalism in
action. Nothing like competition in
the workplace.
Robert Ellis

you want to get connected with a
fun loving, on fire, caring core of
fellow believers planting a church
for Jesus, please give us a visit at

tie on Dad. Mom doesn't have to
make breakfast, and grandma can
bring her lawn chair. You don't
have to wonder if you'd be wel-
come. We want to be a church
where any age, or nationality is
cherished.

while you meditate on the sermon.


Pastor Ron preaches straight from
God's Word connecting it with the
issues that face us in today's times.

While baseball season has-
n't started just yet, board
members were busy on
Saturday trying to raise
money and gain support for
the Dixie Youth Baseball
League. The smell of pan-
cakes and sound of frying
bacon filled the kitchen of the
First Baptist Church of
Webster where the group was
selling breakfast plates.
The turnout wasn't what
they had hoped, but it wasn't
for a lack of good food.
"Everybody I talked to com-
plimented (the food)," said
Chip Ray of Webster, who was
helping out that day.
They charged $4 for an
adult plate and $2 for chil-
dren. Altogether, they sold
about 30 plates which helped
raise a little money, but
'they're a long way off from
where they need to be. "We
needed a little more advertis-

Horace Peacock "We're try-

ic ways as they begin fulfilling

Still plenty of learning


I spent New Year's Day with a
Buddhist nun. I had seen
her at an event several
months earlier and the way she
looked intrigued me.
Actually, I didn't
know she was the
one I had seen when
I made arrange-
ments to meet with
the nun. I didn't even
know the nun was a
nun, nor did I know
she was a Buddhist. I
had .gone to her
house for a story on
something else alto-
gether
When I walked NAI
inside her house and KEN
looked around at the -"
pictures on the wall
and the various statues and the
books on the shelves, I could tell
I was out of my element I con-
fess, I had made up my mind to
-not like her, but I did like her. I
liked her a lot
Even though her Eastern way
of thinking and believing collid-
ed with my Western Christian
beliefs, God used her to speak to
me. Go figure.
Let me back up a minute. As
I've mentioned before, for the
past several years I've had a
scripture for the year, one verse
that I don't choose but rather it
chooses me and stays in the fore-
front of my thinking throughout
theyear.
. So far these scriptures have
been "nice" ones. Warm and
fuzzy, powerful and positive.
"God is able to do immeasurably
more," "With God, nothing is
impossible" and last year's
about the holy wind of God blow-
ing mightily.


But this year's....
I don't like it I don't want it
I'm afraid of it "Be still and
know that I am God" (Psalm
46:10).
I've been resisting
m this scripture for a
few months now, as if
refusing to listen to it
will make it go away. I
told a friend about it
and she offered her
condolences. "I'm
'afraid that if I'm not
still on my own, God
will make me still -
paralyze me from the
neck down so I'll
NCY have to be still," she
NEDY, said. Yes! That's what
'"f"tii [ think too, I told her.
So I've been trying
to do anything and everything to
get out of allowing this scripture
to be mine to chew on and learn
and to let become a part of my
very being like the other "nicer"
scriptures.
Enter the Buddhist nun.
I walked into her house and
into stillness. No TV, no radio.
No commotion. She spoke so
very quietly, slowly, deliberately.
Gently, softly. It drove me crazy.
"Come on, honey, pick up the
pace," I wanted to say.
Then after a while, I began to
slow down. I heard goats outside
and a cat's paws treading on her
tile floor. It was so quiet that I
heard a cat's paws!
Like I said, even though our
core beliefs about the nature of
God collide, she had a stillness
about her, and I found myself
telling her about my struggle
with the "Be still" scripture. She
smiled and told me it was good,
that stillness is good and that it


would be OK That I would be
OK
In that stillness, I sensed a
voice from heaven saying, "See,
I told you so."
She pointed out Jesus, whom
she considers to be a teacher to
learn from and whom I know as
the very God who loves me dear-
ly, and reminded me of some of
his words. I thought about it all
the way home.
I also thought about a song I
had learned as a new Christian:
"Be still and know that I am
God; come unto me for my bur-
den is easy and light." That sec-
ond part is taken from an invita-
tion that Jesus extends to weary
and burdened folks to come to
him and learn from him, to cast
their cares upon him, for he is
"gentle and humble in heart"
and offers rest (Matthew 11:30).
As I sang it to myself, I consid-
ered that maybe being still and
knowing that God is God isn't so
terrible, and that maybe God's
not out to flatten me, but to give
me peace in my unpeaceful soul,
quietness in my restless heart -
and I do so need it
Maybe my scripture for the
year is a two-in-one, the psalm
and the gospel, the command
and the invitation. Maybe it's
good. Maybe I really will be OK
I learned this from a Buddhist
nun. Go figure.

Oudoos t ADAMS


Antler art, it's right here in Sumter County


while back, I was up in
Georgia deer hunting
when one of our mem-
bers', daughter, Bethany
Strickland, shot at a
big buck. '___
Bethany was pret-
ty sure she had hit
the buck and in fact
her father, who was g
not too far off, said it :
Sure sounded to him '
like the bullet had L
hit the deer from the
smacking sound he
had heard right
after she shot.
Bethany is a good JAMIE
shot as well as a Outdoo
good hunter and had
killed a doe the pre-
vious afternoon so we all put a
lot of credence in the probabil-
ity that she had hit the buck
It was not too long before
dark when she made the shot
but after an initial search we
were unable to find the buck or
,any blood so we decided to fin-
ish our search the following
morning when we had some
daylight
Sure enough, the next morn-
ing we were able to find where
the buck was .standing and
where it had taken off when
Bethany took her shot but
other thqn the tracks leaving
,the area we did not locate the
:buck.
After a couple of hours of


The new Mun
Center-conv
quality of a f
your health de
care-whether
a few days or i


SA
or
um


diligent searching we pretty
much determined that she had
probably missed the deer
which is good because there is
nothing worse for an
ethical hunter to
have happen than to
hit and cripple a
deer where it just
runs off and suffers
a slow death.
While we were
making the search
for the deer, I found
one side of a set of
antlers that a buck
had shed the previ-
ADAMS ous year so I gave
r Writer the antlers to
Bethany.
Hunters from the
south call deer antlers horns
while Yankees from up north
refer to them as antlers. The
horns are also called a rack but
in either case deer shed their
antlers each year and a new
rack set will grow back before
the next hunting season.
Whitetail and mule deer as
well as all other species of deer
all shed their antlers. Elk and
moose also shed their antlers
annually. It is really amazing
how fast a deer or elk can re-
grow their antlers each year
and as a rule the new set of
antlers will be bigger with each
new ensuing year of age.
Deer, as a rule, normally live
about seven years or maybe


Tony Willis at work in his shop creating an antler chandelier.


even nine before they start
regressing and the biggest
racks they will have during
their lifetime will occur when
they are six to seven years of
age assuming they make it
that long.
One of my favorite pastimes
is to get out into the woods
after the end of hunting season
and look for the antlers that the
bucks have shed. Generally
here in the south the shed
antlers will not last very long
left exposed to the weather.
However what really gets
them are rodents such as mice
and squirrels. These critters
will eat them for the calcium
the shed antlers provide. Mice
or possibly squirrels had
chewed on the rack I recently
found and gave to Bethany.
Anyway, I want to tell you
folks about some good friends
of mine who are in the busi-
ness of making beautiful
objects of art from the antlers
of deer, elk, moose and any
other species that grow antlers.
.Sandra Willis lost her mom
several years ago and while
suffering from her mom pass-
ing away she decided to try and
relieve her pain by making
some gift candleholders from
parts of deer antlers. Her proj-
ect turned out so successful
that now her family is in the
business full time of crafting
all kinds of beautiful things
from antlers.
Her husband John and son
Tony do most of the manual
work nowadays as Sandra has
developed a serious allergy
resulting from the dust coming
off the antlers as they are being
worked. But she still has a big
hand in designing the unique
pieces of art that John and
Tony create.
Recently, I visited the Willis
shop and watched as John and
Tony went. about creating a
beautiful chandelier. The
chandelier was made from sev-
eral huge sets of deer antlers
and will eventually grace
someone's home or place of
business. All of the numerous
antlers the Willis use in their
artwork derive from legal
sources and most are pur-
chased from legitimate dealers
from the far western part of the
country who are the business


so comfortable,

you'll be tempted

to stay overnight.

name is Kokepeli and from
what I understand serves up
some fine meals. It is on my list
to check out in the near future.
