BOB REICHMAN Editor , A22-year-old Bushnell man was arrested last week after he allegedly exposed himself to a 9-year-old girl. Matthew John Sloan was arrested for lewd and lascivi- ous conduct and violation of probation for traffick- ing in stolen property, according to a sheriff's department report. Sloan was arrested Matthew Sloan after the child identi fi ed him during a photo line-up, according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. The child was playing out- side her Wildwood home when a man drove by in a 1998 ordinance to extend the mora- torium that ended Jan. 23. A second hearing and vote is scheduled for the commission meeting of Feb. 8.

Her father ran out of the house and followed the sus- pect for a short period, he said. He then reported the incident to the Wildwood Police Department. A bulletin describing the vehicle was issued and Deputy Billy Smith saw a vehicle that matched the description several days later.

While board members have expressed some concerns' both in this and previous meetings, county staff has assured commissioners that no applications for those busi- nesses will be accepted in the interim. County Attorney Randall Thornton said the moratori- um extension would extend to April 10. That date is when the, county's consultant on adult business regulations estimat- ed that work could be com- pleted on appropriate county restrictions. Thornton said the revised moratorium ordinance con- tained some additional "find- ings" suggested by the board's consultant. He also noted that ,the document acknowledged ,that some items have "free speech" protection under the constitution. But, the findings also include references to the arrests for solicitation and battery that have occurred since the opening last summer of an adult business in the Wildwood area. "The issue is much more contrary that any of us thought," Thornton :said.

The men were arrested about 1:47 a.m. on County Road 213, near Wildwood, when Deputy Kevin Davenport stopped the vehi- cle for playing loud music after it passed his patrol cruiser, according to the deputy's report. Inside the vehicle, the offi- cer could see a television screen within sight of the driver, according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. Davenport reported, that the screen displayed the image of two women involved in a sex- ual act The officer also 'reported that the vehicle was equipped with a DVD system that included three monitors and 16 speakers throughout the car.

The event is festival style, so bring,your lawn chairs ,,,.. Surrounding property own- ers are already looking at charging for parking, so festi- val coordinators are urging fest goers to "Come early for free parking." The connection for the fest started with John Turner and Leber, because they transport entertainers. One day Paul Revere had lunch at the Speckled putterbean and owner Pat Creech managed to get an autographed picture with iRevere. I At the same time, "He fell in 'love with the place." she said.

They have four now, which is enough to cover all shifts, but he'd like to see some more purchased in the future. one of the reasons the band wou Id be playing for the char- ity event. Turner, who worked on the event "For the kids in the county" is working on a deal with Revere, which was the main incentive for the per- formance. Turner's grandson is in the South Sumter Middle School band. "Mr. Lowery has done a wonderful job with these kids,".he said, adding that the state has pulled funding from the arts, . "All they get is whatever they can raise in car washes or whatever," he said, adding that he hopes this event will give them a boost All proceeds from the con- cert will be given to the mid- dle school band or the Sumter County Humane Society. Folks have even been asked. to make their checks out to the school -or the Humane Society, he said, adding that it looks like they're going to have a good turnout. Turner said the Creeches got behind the event and Reeser said statistics show in areas where tasers are used, injuries to suspects and officers have been' greatly reduced. Because tasers require no physical contact, Reeser said that it's a much safer tool than a nightstick or mace because the lasting effects from tasers are very minute. He said that the only wounds acquired by a taser are from the two small probes located at the end of two long wires from the cartridge ofthe gun. The short needle-like probes leave a mark resem- bling an ','ant bite," according to Reeser Officers are trained to treat the wound with anti- septic with gloved hands once the suspect is handcuffed.

"One man bought a block of tickets because it's for chari- ty," he said. ' Nathan Creech was con- structing a stage that can be used by the entertainers for their performances. Paul Revere will arrive Friday night, but Big Al Downing is expected in Thursday afternoon. Turner said they'll probably eat dinner at the Speckled Butterbean that night Turner will leave on a cruise with Revere after the concert and they're expected back on the sixth. When they return, they plan to distribute checks to the organizations. "There's a lot to putting these shows on," Turner said.

It's an agency that "does a lot of good," but gets little recognition, she said. ditions who can't be reasoned with. Reeser said that this is a great tool because they can be apprehended without getting hurt. He hopes that just knowing that officers are armed with tasers, suspects will be less likely to resist arrest. Although the department is bound by certain guidelines for the use of tasers. Wildwood has created their own policy, which has been discussed and approved by city commissioners. "The city backed the project completely," Reeser said. They won't use tasers on sus- pects weighing less than 70 pounds, and while they're able to, they are less likely to use them on juveniles and pregnant women. 121 Belt Avenue Bushnell, FL 33513 S(Next to Dollar General) IS 569-0171 6 The New Natura SE-3 100% digital hearing aids from Sonic Innovations were designed to provide the most natural sound quality and life like communication experience avail- able. based on the natural mechanic's of the human ear.

" AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer On Thursday evening, com- missioners, city officials, and *others got to bring their con- cerns before the Sumter Legislative Delegation. Sen. Paula Dockery (R), 'Sen. Carey Baker (R), Rep. David Russell (R), and Rep. Hugh Gibson (R) were at County Commission chambers ,to hear requests for funding -projects around the county. "We've got some concerns over designation of small counties," County Commissioner Jim Roberts said. He made a request to reclassify the small county size from under 75,000 to 100,000. Presently, Sumter County has about 66,000 resi- dents, but Roberts said that with such rapid development :going on in The Villages, ,Sumter's population has the possibility of increasing by 12,000 per year. Most counties in Florida are designated as small counties, and much of the funding goes to them. Sumter officials want the county to continue to receive that benefit. Other issues addressed by Commissioners Joey Chandler and Randy Mask included the new agricultural center, a water drainage proj- ect and the possible restora- tion of the Center Hill Auditorium. Tammy Ray, of Utaw Utilities said that a process of constructing a wastewater sys- tem is currently taking place in Webster, and the city wants to correct stormwater prob- lems at the same time, which would result in savings for the city. Ray said that additional studies would be needed and "we don't know how to fund it yet, but we're moving for- ward." In From left to right: Sen. Carey Baker, Sen. Paula Dockery, Rep. Hugh Gibson, and Rep. David Russell met with public officials and, people from around the county on Thursday evening at the courthouse to discuss funding and hear community budget issue requests. Vince 'Ruano, Bushnell city manager said the city is in need of a new storage tank, as the current- one was pur- chased in 1925. With an 80- year life expectancy, Ruano said that he fears it will not serve the city much longer. He said he knew of another stor- age tank of the same year and make that had fallen during the 2004 storms. Also, the city wants to expand the sewer system westward "to help folks eliminate septic tanks and get into the system." To Ruano's request, rate' increases were suggested and Russell said that maybe a con'- nection fee: might help- replace some of the cost. Bt. . according to Ruano, the nature of the community would make that difficult, as it. is a low-income area. David Rathke, of Southwest Florida Water Management District, updated representa- ties on the progress of the Lake Panasoffkee Restoration Project and requested $1.5 million to complete it. SCARC, Inc. came very 'close'to-closing its group home when DCF reduced funding in September of 2003, SCARC Executive Director Marsha Perkins said. Perkins said she lost six full-time positions at the facility and since then, the organization has had "no relief" from financial hard- ship. Although the building SCARC is currently using ig being leased by the county for $i per year, she said that they're completely "out og space" and only have three restroom facilities for about 40 people. Perkins requested $50,00q for construction of a new facili ity. which she said is badly needed. "We'll certainly try to help you," said Gibson. Costly deer for Georgia man BOB REICHMAN Editor A Georgia man found out last week that driving down Interstate 75 and shooting deer don't mix.

He pulled off the side of the road, got out his rifle and killed the deer, she said.

Generators recovered, two people arrested BOB REICHMAN Editor Two generators were returned to their owners last week and two people were arrested in connection with the theft. Last Wednesday, sheriff's deputies arrested Courtland Lane and his girlfriend Crystal Brooks, in connection with the thefts, according to sheriff's Lt Bobby Caruthers. Lane, 27, Pedro, was arrest- ed on two counts of grand theft and two counts of deal- ing in stolen property. He was placed in the Sumter County Detention Center with bond set at $7,000. Brooks, 24, Lake Panasoffkee, was arrested for grand theft and dealing in stolen property. She was also placed in jail with bond set at $7,000. Both of the generators were taken from construction sites in The Villages, Caruthers said. The first theft was reported last November from a con- struction site off Buena Vista Boulevard, according to Caruthers. The generator belonged to Greenblades Construction of Central Florida. The second generator was taken on January .17 from a construction site off Morris Boulevard, Caruthers said. It belonged to Down To Earth Landscaping and Irrigation. Lane, who worked in the area with contractors, became the subject of an investigation by deputies Guy Maddox and Thomas Williams when the deputies learned that Lane had a master key to locks on the generators and a bolt cut- ter, Caruthers said. During an interview with the deputies, Lane admitted' that he had taken the genera-i tors, Caruthers said. Both generators, valued at; $5,000 each, had been taken to residences in Wildwood' where they were sold for $400; each, according to Caruthers.' Brooks was arrested ,after, she admitted to officers that: she helped Lane load one off the generators into a vehicle' and deliver it, Caruthers said.

Sandra Woodard Bushnell SAnother VOICE 'Umbilicus Anonymous' Set T welcome to today's meeting loogetk of Umbilicus Anonymous look b (UA). Last week's column, Il be "Eternal Umbilicus," about my udle struggle to let go of my unty adult daughter, hit a are nerve; many fellow fruit- icks" cake moms called or wrote to say, "I thought I was the only one!" ;Some things are uni- versal, and moms trying to separate love from an obsession based on fear seems to be one of them. As an aside, I want to address another response I get from col- NA umn readers: the use of KEN uper first person writing. First - boro of all, I write about my boro, life because that's what I'm paid to the do. But there's so much more to it con- than that, or a narcissistic desire to rsity see my name in print and When writers write "I, me, my," were they are really writing about "you," ssive the reader. It's a purposeful literary Ition. device used to get the reader to d at identify with the writer, to get the e in reader to say, "You too? I thought I was the only one who thought or did r for that!" Then, as the writer weaves in, ghly the truth he or she wants to convey olor- and as the reader discovers it, it i the becomes personal. That's why read- 20th ers will often ask, "How did you The know that about me?" Or a reader said will say, "You have no idea how I had needed to read that" Iole, The most-effective Christian writ- the ing occurs when writers gets down stra in the dirt with readers and gently. ligh- points upward to the hope that God hael alone offers and says, "I know ctor where we can both find grace. Let ing me help you up and we'll go togeth- .i er." e an te of sion Arts t for eral later 'lub, Oak arry own vail- nore, the I Back to today's UA meeting. I ran out of space in last week's column, but not out of thoughts, mostly about this umbilical struggle as a type of addiction. * ** Don't misunderstand what I'm about to say; I'm just repeating something I read. It has to do with addictions and how, in some ways, they might have some good in them. First, put aside the addictions that can kill you drugs, alcohol, cig- arettes. Let's take other addictions. Mine, for NCY example. NEDY The inner conflict I - a feel when I stay awake at night worrying if my daughter canrpay her car insurance, or when I get up and check the weather report for North Carolina and Maryland and wonder (worry) if my kids will be driving in snow that day and what if they hit a patch of ice? or if I'm scheming how to convince the one daughter that belonging to a church is a good thing and belonging to Jesus is even better -- that inner conflict is symp- tomatic of my addiction. So is trying to do everything in my power to make sure they are safe. If they are safe, I feel better. But then I start feeling shame at the lengths I will go to feel better; that's what addicts feel when they're caught up in their addiction. I ask God to help me stop; I vow to shut off my phone, not call, not send messages. Leave the one daughter alone to work out her own problems and to learn to trust God herself (even if I don't trust him myself). I do OK for a day, a week I start to relax, trust, rest But then I slip up. I call. Or, if she hasn't called me, I imagine worst-case scenarios, or that she's mad at me. Then when she calls, I feel that rush, that junkie's high. Ahhhhhh. Then it starts all over-again. In '"Addictions & Grace," Gerald G. May, M.D., says we're born with a natural desire for heaven; the Bible says God has put eternity in our hearts. However, we try to fulfill that desire for the God we can't see with things we can. We all do that; we all have something we cling to and won't let go. The "good" in that, May says, is when we recognize our true desire is not for the thing that makes us high. The good in addic- tion is the point where we say, "I'm high, but it doesn't satisfy my soul. I need God and only God." Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled" (John 14:1). But it is. And so is yours. May writes, "Understanding will not deliver us from addiction, but it will...help us appreciate grace. Grace is the most powerful force in the universe. It can transcend repression, addiction and every other internal or external power that seeks to oppress the freedom of the human heart. Grace is where our hope lies." So let's help each other up, point each other upward to the hope that God offers and go together to find his grace. See you at the next UA meeting.

In November, Commissioner Ronald Allen initiated a traf- fic study to determine whether a 4-way stop or speed bumps might be needed. On Monday Public Works Director Gene Kornegay pre- sented the results of his traffic study to Wildwood City Commission. Kornegay found that upon reviewing DOT guidelines, "the area does not meet the criteria for placing 4-way stops," according to a memo sent to commissioners by him. City Attorney Jerri Blair said that new stops tend to "gener- ate a lot of crashes," because people aren't used to them and that speed bumps are not allowed on public roads. Speed humps would be allowed, but some feared that those wouldn't do much good. Although everyone seemed to agree something had to be. done, there didn't seem to be an easy solution. Beverly Harrison, who lives on Second Street, told com- missioners that "between Ross and Second Street, it's a racetrack," and that she's wor- ried about what might happen if these people aren't stopped. "I've seen children almost get hit," she said. As a grandmoth- er, she said that makes her especially uneasy. "There has to be something we can do to keep them from speeding up and down this road," she said. Harrison said when police arrive in the area, the offend- ers scatter and don't get caught. "We've got people in tlhe neighborhood who know Please see TRAFFIC, Page 13 Wildwood cops conduct traffic crackdown BOB REICHMAN Editor It started with a one-hour checkpoint of vehicles but it ended with four arrests and the issuance of 16 traffic cita- tions. On Friday, Jan. 21, the Wildwood Police Department launched a crackdown on unlawful motorists that resulted in the issuance of 16 traffic cita- tions, and four arrests. It was part of the Wildwood Police Department's continu- ing commitment to make the streets and community safer, according to Police Captain E.W Reeser. "We're trying to find ways to get unsafe vehicles and people who shouldn't be driv- ing off the roads." To that end, officers set up a checkpoint on County Road 44A from 10:47 p.m. until 11:45 p.m., checking driver's licenses and ensuring that motorists were not driving under the influence, he said. Sgt. Gerard Olbek was in charge of the operation. A number of infractions were discovered including children not secured in a child seat, drivers with sus- pended licenses and one warrant arrest, according to Reeser. After the checkpoint operation was concluded, law enforcement officers then worked traffic enforce- ment throughout the city, Reeser said. They targeted some prob- lem areas that have been reported to have loitering, drug transactions And traffic problems. With twice as many officers out, most of these areas were cleared of the loiterers and drug dealers, he said. During this time period, the emergency call level was down, enabling officers working the road to patrol for criminal activity. During the patrol, Police Officer David Brooks noticed what first appeared to be a disabled vehicle on Walker Road near S.R. 44, Reeser said. The vehicle was not dis- abled and following a search, the driver, James Robert McLawhorn, 63, Tampa, was arrested for possession of ,cocaine. 'Reeser said he's pleased with the operation and the message that this and similar operations send. While a substantial amount of the time was spent on vehi- cle-related offenses, officers also are focusing on areas in the city where residents have complained about loitering and illegal drug trafficking, Reeser said. In particular, officers are' patrolling areas near Ross, I-.tblljhtd [48| rIMES (USPS #535-880) GIVE US A CALL News Department................352-793-2161 Circulation .................... 1-888-852-2340 Retail Advertising ................ 352-793-2161 Classified Advertising ............ 352-793-2161 Fax ........................... .352-793-1486 The Sumter County Times is published Thursdays, 52 times a year for a subscription price of $18.00 per year in Sumter County by: Sumter County Times 204 E.

Device may increase gas mileage by 22% HENRY POATES Times Correspondent On Saturday, Jan. 22, the Oxford Assembly of God Church held' it's first annual Health Fair. The purpose of the Fair was to offer free health screenings and information to the community and to those that might not be able to get or. afford such screenings on their own. Over 180 visitors attended the Fair. Twenty-eight vendors, which included local businesses, Entertainer Norman Lee, one of several other performers, sang songs in the "Melody-In- Some of the over 180 Health Fair participants availing them- selves of the free screenings offered by the 28 participating vendors at the Oxford Health Fair at the Oxford Assembly of God Church on Saturday. agencies, health care providers, service organiza- tions, and emergency services, were on hand to help partici- pants with their questions and provide free hea th screenings. Sumter County Fire/Rescue provided an engine from Oxford Station 32 and gave handouts to interested partici- pants. The Sheriff's Department sent McGruff, the Crime Fighting Dog and their special SAVE. Vehicle for par- ticipants to view. The Florida's Blood Center sent the "Big Red Bus" for those who wanted to donate blood. Fair goers con- tributed 20 units of blood to Florida's Blood Center. Soup and sandwiches were sold at a nominal price in the " Melod y In Caif 6." Entertainment was also provid- ed.in the Cafe. Six local enter- tainers were on hand to per- form for those in the Caf6 and the seating area in front of the stage. Entertainers Deniese Woods, Janice Stokes, Sarah Dudley Tyler, Joanna Banana (LeBeau), Norman Lee, and Wynne Cannon Greene per- formed from 9:45 in the morn- ing to the Fair's close at 1 p.m. Kathleen Morgan, from the Suwanne River Area Health Education Center, assisted in planning this year's Fair. Local organizers of the Health Fair are already starting to plan next year's event Boston National Fuelsaver Corp. has developed a low cost automotive accessory called the Platinum Gas Saver which is guaranteed to increase gas mileage by 22% while meeting all emission standards. - With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gas Saver adds microscopic amounts of platinum to the air and fuel entering the engine. Since platinum allows non-burning fuel to burn, the Gas Saver's platinum increases the percentage of fuel burning inside the engine from 68% of each gallon to 90% of each gallon, a 22% increase. Since unburnt fuel leaving an engine is pollution, this 22'% of each gallon normally burns when it reaches the platinum of the catalytic converter. However, the converter's platinum burns this fuel in the tail-pipe, where the heat and energy produced from this fuel cannot be harnessed to drive your vehicle. But when the Gas Saver allows the air-fuel mixture to carry the platinum into the engine, 22% more of each gallon burns inside the engine so that 22% fewer gallons are required to drive the same distance. After a five year study, the government concluded: "Independent testing shows greater fuel savings with the Gas Saver than the 22% claimed by the developer." In addition to the fuel savings, the Gas Saver has received patents for cleaning out carbon and raising octane, making higher grades of fuel unnecessary for most vehicles. Joe Robinson, the developer, was quite surprised at the market research: "We have sold a half million Gas Savers. To our surprise, as many people buy the Gas Saver because it extends engine life by cleaning out the abrasive carbon as buy it to increase gas mileage or to raise octane." For further information call: 1-800-LESS-GAS 1-800-537-7427 Oil and gasoline prices soar WASHINGTON (CBS) The price of oil rose to its highest level in more than 13 years. The wholesale price of gasoline also reached a new record, signaling the likelihood of even higher pump prices.

They came with their own special house and each pet was different. If pets wer- en't your cup of tea, perhaps it was rings. Yes folks, mood rings were Very popular. The Staten Island Ferry raised rates from 5 cents to 25 cents. Margaret Thatcher was elected the first woman leader of the British Tories. Yes, when you think about it, things have changed a lot in 30 years, But, after all this time there are some things which have remained the same. One good thing is that the Sumter County Economic Development Council is still around and thriving after 30 years of hard work and lots of dedication by everyone involved... and most importantly, the support of the commun- ityivwho have helped us reach this milestone....

Salutes Sumter County supporters "We were overwhelmed by the support and generosity of the peo- ple of Sumter County," said Bill Stewart Service Center Administrator for The Salvation Army Sumter County Service Center. "Without the volunteers who gave generously of their expertise, time and labor, and the donations we received, we would not, have, been able to serve the number of families and individuals who needed help during the holiday season. We received donations in the form of cash and material goods such as clothing, toys, food and personal care items right through . Christmas Eve. We continue to be thankful to our donors and to Wal- Mart and Winn-Dixie who allowed us to have our red kettles at their stores and to Community National Bank (in Bushnell & Wildwood), McDonalds (in Bushnell & Wildwood), SunTrust Bank (in Bushnell), as well as Wal-Mart and the Bargain Warehouse of Bushnell for hosting our Angel Trees. Everyone was extremely helpful and wanted to help those who are in need. The Bargain Warehouse went so far as to donate several cases of toys to make sure we met any last-minute needs," Stewart continued. , The Salvation Army was able to provide holiday assistance in the form of food, clothing, toys and personal care items to 166 families that represented 590 people. During the holiday season, emer- gency assistance in the form'of food, utilities, rent and medications continued to be provided and 31 families were assisted.

Eleanor also began two new activities by bringing visi- tors, music and gifts to residents of. Osprey Point Nursing Center and collecting donations at Buddy's Tavern during a traditional 'Tavern Route'. The folks at Buddy's Tavern called several times with donations of cash, food, toys and personal care items. Visiting with them was a merry way to spend part of Christmas Eve. "They were just so generous," Eleanor added. Ninety- seven volunteers provided 267 vol- unteer hours. Bill Stewart noted that $14,035.85 was collected at the red kettles and that $2,564.08 was col- lected by volunteers.

God has blessed us in so many ways and we are thank- ful for the privilege to share His blessings with so many others,'" Bill added. The Salvation Army plans to increase its programs and commun- ity outreach. A women's program (Home League), Bible study and worship services are expected to. begin soon.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES,, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 2005, PAGE 13 Woman arrested for TRAFFIC having sex with boy BOB REICHMAN Editor A 22-year-old Wildwood woman was arrested last week for allegedly having sex- ual relations with a 13-year- old boy. Jamie Marchlewski, was arrested on Wednesday, Jan. 19, for sexual battery for hav- ing sexual intercourse with the boy on several occasions at her residence, according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. The incidents reportedly hap- pened earlier this month. Marchlewski was arrested after the youngster's parents advised state Department of Children and Families inves- tigators of the offense, Caruthers said. Investigators also recov- ered letters sent to the boy by Marchlewski mentioning that they were having sex, he said. The youngster told law enforcement officers that "he loves her and didn't want any- thing to happen to her," Caruthers said. Marchlewski was placed in the Sumter County Detention Center with bond set at $10,000. continued from Page 5 who's doing this. We need help," Mayor Ed Wolf said. "They're coming here for a reason, and it's the wrong rea- son." "Give (the police depart- ment) a little bit of time," said Commissioner John Jqhnson. "I think they can do the job." Wildwood Police Captain Eddie Reeser said that if resi- dents reported tag numbers and could identify drivers, it would be possible to arrest them. Even though the offend- ers apparently know when police are coming and leave before they can get caught, what they're doing is a misde- meanor and if they're identi- fied, they can be charged without an officer witnessing the act "That sends a stronger message than anything," he said. Jazzercise kicks off the New Year Local Jazzercise instructor, Patty Jordan, is offering a free week ofJazzercise for new cus- tomers at the First United Methodist Youth Hall on Noble Avenue in Bushnell during the month of February 2005.

He and Chief Frank Moore ,ave done much of the labor involved with the project over the ast two and a half months, and will be moving into the new building by Feb. 1. . Coleman Police prepare to move Family rebuilding after house fire Barbara Uribe and her fami- ly are doing pretty well this week, especially considering their home burned just days ago. She and her four children were asleep in their home when her daughter realized her foot was burning. When she woke, up from the heat, she realized it was the heater, a fire had ignited in the living room. "It was pretty frightening." Uribe said. The family did not have insurance and the home was a rental ooiMarket Boulevard in Webster. While Uribe managed to sal- vage some of her family's things two of their beds, a dresser and some clothes - there are still some things they could use. That list includes a dining room set, bedding and dressers. She said she'll be looking for a television too, though she doesn't consider that. a need iten on her list. The fanmlyis fine. "It's just material things." she said of their loss. The only loss that really upset her was her family pic- tures they can't be replaced. "That's what really bothered me." They even managed to save some of their dishes and clothes, washing the clothes repeatedly with .vinegar to get the smoke smell out. She's been successful at find- ing another home to rent and the electricity was set to be turned on earlier this week Anyone with furniture pieces they'd like to donate can contact the Times office at 793- 2161. The cause 6f the fire was electrical, according to Brad Burris, of Sumter Fire Services... . AmANDA Mmis Staff Writer Coleman Police Chief Frank oore and Patrolman Brad Iorningstar have been hard at work for the last few months. In addition to law enforce- ment.work, they've done most ofthe labor for their new build- ing, which they have to occupy by Feb. 1. The change was brought on by the expansion of the city's library that the police depart- ment shares. About .a year ago, the city decided to move the police sta- tion. Once the money came in from the new budget, the proj- ect began. Pretty soon, the police department will be using office space previously occupied by the fire department on Florida Avenue. Though adjacent, to it, the area will be completely secure and sealed off from the fire depart merit, Moore said. The computer, system is scheduled to move on Jan. 30, and because it is a vital tool for the police department, they have to move when it does. "There's some real action going on right now," Moore said. "If it's not finished in time, we'll have to deal with it," he said, but added that the build- ing will likely be finished with- in the next week Right now, electrical and plumbing work is being done with the new building, which Moore was happy about because there was no existing restroom there. Though the department won't really be gaining any space, Moore said that it'll be newer and nicer, and the library will have the space 'it needed. Approximately $8,500 was budgeted for the project, and Moore hopes to have saved the city some money by doing so much of the labor Lake-Sumter Community College's chapter Phi Theta Kappa. the international honor society for community colleges, inducted 35 students during its fall induction ceremony on Dec. 13.

Thompson announced last Friday the final reg- ulations establish- ing the new Medicare prescrip- tion drug benefit arid improved. access to health care services through Medicare. "For too long, America's seniors have struggled to pay for their medi- D cines. Today sets in ROi motion historic .mm... developments for the elderly and disabled. In less than a year, for the first time, Medicare will offer a prescrip- tion drug benefit to help them pay for the prescription drugs their doctors tell them that they need," Thompson said. This long-awaited benefit has few surprises on face value. The plan is voluntary and one must have both parts A and B of Medicare to qualify for this new plan, which will be known as Part D. The additional cost will be $35 per month per benefici- ary. The prescription drug benefit and the other provisions includ- ed in the regulations issued are key elements of the Medicare Modernization Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush on Dec. 8, 2003. Enrollment for the new pre- scription drug plans will begin this November, and activate on Jan. 1, 2006. Plan D will have a $250 deductible, and then it will pick up 75 percent of the next $2,000 of expenses. After these amounts have been paid, the infamous "doughnut hole" appears. There is no coverage for the next $3,100 of prescrip- tion medications. After one has met their deductible -and exceeded prescription drug payments of $5,100, Medicare will pay 95 percent of the rest of the annual cost of prescrip- tions. This is at best an adequate, catastrophic prescription drug benefit, and this is how you should approach this new pro- gram. At $35 per month it seems to be worth it. The regulations issued: Create the first prescrip- tion drug benefit for beneficiar- ies in fee-for-service Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans will continue to offer prescription drug coverage to enrollees and enhance their existing cover- age. Help ensure that retirees who currently receive health and drug coverage from their former employers or unions will continue to be able to do so. Improve the Medicare Advantage program and for the first time offer a regional pre- ferred provider organization (PPO) contracting option. Offer two new, less costly options for Medigap coverage. The final regulations, devel- oped after an extensive public comment process that began when proposed rules were pub- lished in August, will be on dis- play at the Federal Register.

T received the "Rural Tranm of the Year" for 1998, 2 2004. That record is unm any other transportation Sumter Transit has only operation for 11 ye tional confusion caused by the HHS, in its near 1,600 pages of rules and regulations. Folks, remember the M e d i c a r e Modernization and :' Prescription Drug Act of 2003 was a 678- S page document, and the prescription drug part of the act was " about 40 percent of the law. Yet, the HHS continues to both complicate and con- fuse the American N public with massive MAN and inexplicable thousands of addi- tional words of expla- nation. For instance, noticeably missing from the joint HHS- CMS statement was the simple question: How many drugs will be included within this new benefit? "All people with Medicare are now one huge step closer to having a new drug benefit and new health plan options, regardless of their income or how they receive their medical coverage," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D. "In less than a year, seniors will get crit- ical new help with access to 21st century, prevention-oriented -medical care." . I hope that my feelings con- cerning this program are wrong. It is a catastrophic pre- scriptiQn drug benefit, but, indeed, better than nothing. The other positive side of this law is that it will be both income -and asset tested and more than nine million Americans should qualify for this program at no cost. . The huge deficit of this plan is that it and its future cost, and what drugs will ultimately make the final cut, are all in the hands of the private insurance industry.

Built in 1987, the school has outgrown its walls and is in need of expansion, according to Jim Allen, director of facili- ties. The School Board is in the process of selecting a construc- tion manager for the project, which they hope to complete by the beginning of February. He said by the beginning of this school year, it was obvious that an addition would be needed. Funds for the project will come from a combination of sources, including the Department of Education and local taxes. The new building, which will be located at the back of the school near the playground, will contain eight classrooms and a computer lab. There are four portable classrooms currently at the school, which are going to be replaced by four of the new classrooms. Teachers and staff at the school are "looking for- ward to the building," said Allen. The exact same building plans will be used for the Lake Panasoffkee addition as had been used for those at Webster Elementary and North Sumter Intermediate. "The only differ- ence will be the colors," Allen said. Renolds, Smith and Hills, Inc., the architectural firm hired for previous projects, will be working on the new one, using the same plans, resulting in a reduced cost to the school. "It substantially reduces architect fees," said Allen. By March, the estimated five months of construction is expected to begin.

This year's list included: Jarod Fleming, Pedro Jasso, Fabian Wilson, Nate Youngblood and Carlton Everett from South Sumter High School and Ronnie Bailey, Jacade Jackson and Carlton Robinson from Wildwood High School. Fleming was quarterback for South Sumter. A junior, he got his start at South Sumter Middle School. Fleming sees his strengths as being a run- ner with a willingness to win. He is the son of Larry Fleming and plans to attend college. He said football has taught him how to work with others, be a team player and to never give up. Youngblood has been play- ing football for nine years now and he credits his parents, Bobbi Tenario and. Bruce Youngblood, and Coach Stan Coburn with his pursuit of the game. His goal at the begin- ning of the season was 150 tackles and 10 picks and to make his defense the best it could be. He sees his strengths as his speed and his ability to read plays well and hit hard. .Youngblood has two brothers 1-. South Sumter High School's Pedro Jasso, Jarod Fleming, Carlos Everett and Fabian Wilson (left to right) were among the eight Sumter County students selected as All-Star players for the Sports Writers Association. and plans to attend college: Everett finished his third year with the Raiders team. He credits his mom, Carolyn Houston, with his pursuit of the game and said he began playing three years ago. He has a favorite memory in the game and that was, "When I caught my first touchdown from my brother Earl." Earl plays for the University of Florida. Everett cites him- self as a team player who likes to win. He is the grandson of Eunice Williams and his sib- lings are Earl Everett, David Green and Toccara Everett. He plans to attend college, but isn't sure where yet and said the most important thing he's learned from football is, "If you start something, finish it "Nothing less than hard work," that's what Wildwood High School's lead-in varsity quarterback Ronnie Bailey said he expected from himself when the season started. He got his original start in football on a city league and said he got into the game because of family members. He is the son of Carla Bailey and Ronnie Bailey, Sr. and has a brother, Carlton. His hopes have been to attend college and to play pro ball. "You have to put hard work in to get results. Nothing is going to be handed to you, you have to earn it" Jackson is a senior at Wildwood High School and said he's been playing for the past three years. He credits his brother with his pursuit of the game and was planning to focus on teamwork when the season started. He is the son of William and Veila Jackson and has two sib- lings. He plans to become a computer web designer. Football has taught him that "Teamwork wins games and you can go anywhere and do anything, if you just believe."

South Sumter Lady Raiders take first round in district tourney RICHARD LOVETT Special to the Times The South Sumter Lady Raider Soccer Team took the first round of the District 6, Class 3A, tournament Tuesday night being hosted by Hernando High School. The first round pitted inter- county rivals Wildwood against South Sumter. Both teams came to play lakowing that not only would a win get them into the second round, but also would earn them county brag- ging rights until next season. As the whistle blew to start the game, it was apparent that neither team was holding back. After storming a flurry of shots on goal, Wildwood goalie Crystal Vela could not stop the shot from Jessica Cason in the fifteenth minute of the game. This put SSHS up 1-0. Just before the half Ivonnie Moctezuma had a break away to the Wildwood goal but could not convert At the other end of the field, Wildwood was not able to get past the Raiders defense anchored by Amanda Davis. The Raiders were up 1-0 at the half During halftime, players- from both teams tried to keep- warm in the cold weather. The second half started with the same "no-holding-back" attitude as the first half start- ed. Just three minutes into the half, Wildwood player Kim Young's shot went wide of the goal after she received the ball at the top of the box. Minutes after that, Jessica Cason received a pass from midfielder Crystal Ledford and was poised to score a goal. Unfortunately, Wildwood defender Heather Slone had something to say about that and pressured the shot wide of the goal. With just six minute left in the game, Kelly Smith received a pass from Ivonnie Moctezuma and put in the back of Wildwoods' net. Wildwood still did not give up. With just seconds left, Wildwood forward Kali Wheeler had a break away. Goalie Kala Wallace would have none of that and stopped the sht. When the final whistle blew and the players gave their all, it was the Raiders of South Sumter that walked away with the victory. They will progress to the next round of the tourna- ment. Highlight players for the game included Ivonnie Moctezuma, who earned the win for SSHS. Wildwood's Goalie Crystal Vela and Sweeper Deidra Solomon played a unbelievable game. Vela had over 19 saves and Solomon stopped almost every- thing thrown her way. The two even impressed the Hernando announcer. Their next opponent will be Pasco. The game was sched- uled to be played Wednesday night Softball Registration The South Sumter Girls Softball League (SSGS) is happy to announce it is that time of the year again!

Here in Florida, we need at -m..- least a night or two when the tempera- ture drops low enough to hard , freeze water or else we can look forward to having an over abundance of mos- su{ quitoes and ticks t,. when springtime finally rolls around. With all the rain JAMIE we received during Outdoo the past year deriv- .nwm ing from the hurri- canes that passed through, a lot of the ponds and water holes are still full of water so you can bet the mosquitoes are going to be rampant. If you spend a lot of time out- doors fishing, hunting or camp- ing it is going to be a good idea to be well prepared for the inevitable and get yourself some good protection to fight a war against mosquitoes and ticks. A few years ago at spring time, following a wet year, a strange bad biting kind of gnat showed up in the woods that I had never seen before but some of the sure nuff old timers who had been around a while called these blood thirsty critters buf- falo gnats. I don't know what their actu- al scientific name was, but they were bad news especially when you were trying to turkey hunt To make matters worse, chemi- cal insect repellants did not seem to slow them down a bit. These so-called buffalo gnats could find a way through your defense and when they bit you it was painless at the time but the aftereffect of their dirty work itched for days. I sure hope they don't make an encore appearance this spring. On the other hand, since they only show up after a rainy year and with all the standing water in the woods they may well be back You can pretty much keep mosquitoes at bay by using a few proven methods and one of ADAMS r Writer SOMMaNS- the very best is by using a piece of equipment called a Therma-CELL. These ThermaCELL units first appeared on the market a cou- ple of years ago and have really taken off and they have become standard equipment for many outdoor activity inclined folks and especially serious spring turkey hunters. This old boy doesn't leave home during gobbler season without one and you can bet on that fact. Not only do the ThermaCELL units do a good job keeping mosquitoes away while being used in the woods they are also very effective on a patio or in the back yard at home if you are trying to cook and eat outside right before dark The ThermaCELL unit I use in the woods can also be used on the patio but the company has a small lantern unit that is a bit more decorative for use around the house. The best thing about using any ThermaCELL product is that there is no odor and no offen- sive sticky chemicals or smells to put up with. Another good way to keep mosquitoes from feasting on your exposed skin is to wear protective clothing that is espe- cially designed to keep insects from biting you. Shannon Bug Tamer makes a set of light- weight clothing that is very effective in keeping mosquitoes and other biting flying insects from getting to you. The Shannon Bug Tamer is made so you won't burn up while going about your outdoor activities. It comes in several camouflage patterns and the way the suit works is there is i Fastpitch tryouts scheduled The Lady Warrior Fastpitch Softball organization will be holding tryoutss for their spring travel ball season.

At the same time, I can stay .cool enough to enjoy my fishing or hunting. This Shannon Bug Tamer outfit is especially good if you move around a lot while hunting or fishing. The ThermaCELL and Shannon Bug Tamer will keep flying biting insect away but these units are not effective against ticks and these are the critters that worry me the most. There was a time that ticks did not bother me at all and I used to get ticks on me quite often as I went about my work in the woods. Nowadays, however, there is a disease going around called Lyme disease that is bad news for sure. The only way I know of to try and protect you from a tick bite is to use a chemical insect repellant.

There are numerous insect repellant products on the mar- ket that are safe according to their labels and the best is the ones that have a chemical called Deet. I spray a small amount around the cuffs of my pants and as a rule after doing this I seldom if ever get a tick on me. If you do get a tick imbedded in your skin be careful as how you remove it. There are many methods but the one I use is to put a dab of ammonia directly on the tick and after a minute or two hopefully the tick will release his bite. Ticks dig in deep and if you just pull it off chances are very good that the tick's head will stay deeply imbedded beneath your skin and can case an infection. Anyway, after removing the tick or ticks keep a close watch on the spot where the bite occurred for any serious reac- tion and if infection or any other alarming changes around the bite take place see a doctor as soon as possible. It is rare for a tick to cause any serious problems but it can happen. We can enjoy the woods but we need to be aware of the potential problems from biting insects and take the nec- essary precautions.

Like us reading our local newspaper, your dog smells informa- tion about what is going on in the , neighborhood. At well-informed dog is usually a calmer dog around the home. The Humane LUI Society/SPCA of GRA Sumter County rec- ommends that your pet should always have some form of identification on at all times. A collar with a county license, ID and rabies tags, tattoos, or a microchip, are all forms of identification that are available for/ you to choose from. There are advantages and disadvan- tages to each onq' Research your options, and pick which ID works best for you and your pet The number one reason for your pet to have identification on is to help get your pet back home if he becomes lost My dogs are never, ever, without their collars and tags. In the house or outside in the yard, they always have on identification. I chose to rivet a nameplate to each collar with my name and phone number to call if my dog gets lost. Also attached is their rabies tag and county license. OK you would think I have it all covered! I'thought so too, , but last week I got a big sur- prise! While walking my dogs one morning, a neighbors' dog jumped their fence and start- ed growling at us. I immedi- ately started pulling my dogs back toward our house. Suddenly, my little 14-year-old dog, Patty, pulled out of her collar and started trotting- down the street There I stood with the leash attached to the collar, and no Patty!

And with no Identification on her! I couldn't believe it! I immediately put posters up and down the road. I called Animal Control and gave them her descrip- tion. I called the H lu m a n e Society/SPCA of NDA Sumter County and vWEs left a message of .MMO.M where she was lost and her descrip- tion. I looked everywhere for her, but I could not find her. Luckily, she found her way back home several hours later. I know of others .who have lost their dog the same way. The leash was attached to the dogs collar and sudden- ly, something gets the dogs attention, and they pull on the leash and slip out of their col- lar. So what have I learned? I never attach the leash to their collar. The leash is attached to either a harness or the leash is attached to a chain collar for walks only. Now when we go for our walk, whether it is a squirrel, a cat, or another dog that might suddenly get their attention and they might pull away from me, they .will always have their identifica- tion collars on. Make sure your pet has some sort of identification on. Then you can take comfort in the knowledge that your lost pet has a better chance of being returned to you.

Mzater GARDOEN -- -- ---------- ------ Things to do in February, for Central Florida homeowners There's a variety of yard activities to take care of dur- ing February. Lawns February is too early to safely fertilize a lawn. Cold weather can do severe damage to new growth that fertilizer stimulates. Early February is not too late to apply Attrazine for pre and post-emergent weed con- trol in your St. Augustine lawn, if you did not apply a pre-emergent in January. If you did, do not rake; it will interfere with the herbicide performance. Vegetables plant lettuce, cabbage, spring onions, radishes and similar cool-sea- soned crops. It is a good idea to treat the soil with granular Diazinon to control cutworms and other insects that might damage your plants. Add 25 to 100 pounds of compost or cow manure per 100square feet. Avoid overfertilazation, never exceed 2 lb. of 6-6-6 or 8-8-8 per hundred square feet. You can always add more fertilizer if you need to, you can't take back any excess. Therefore, the best-case scenario is waste of money; the worst case is contamination of groundwater. Deciduous Fruit Trees, at pedal fall or blossom drop, apply a spray of Malathian and Sevin. Repeat monthly until harvest This applies to apple, peach, nectarine, pear and persimmon. Prune apple, peaches, nectarines, pears, and persimmons this month. Prune all broad-leaved evergreen shrubs and Roses for size and shape. When new growth signals the arrival of ,spring, trim back freeze-dam- aged summer and fall bloom- ing shrubs. For azaleas, camellias and dogwood, wait until after blooming. Prune muscadine and bunch grapes now. Also this is the month to prune crape myrtle; cut off anything that is smaller tan a pencil. Citrus fertilize with 1/2 pound of citrus fertilizer per 1-inch trunk diameter now and in April, August and October. A citrus special is recommended, since it con- tains extra minerals in the portions most needed by these trees. Roses now is the time to plant new bare-root rose stock. Be sure the plants you get are grafted on rootstock crafted for Florida condi- tions. Fortuniana is best, Dr. Huey is also O.K Don't forget to look for the "old" garden roses that are vigorous and low maintenance. Miscellaneous February is a good month to install plants so they become established prior to the summer heat. When choosing plants, group selections according to water requirements. Emphasize choices that tolerate drought conditions and have resist- ance to insects and diseases. Remember installation is only the beginning. A landscape requires maintenance. It is better to choose plants that require minimal maintenance to ensure maximum enjoy- ment. Don't forget to add a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch to main- tain moisture. Consider adding a birdbath to your landscape. Keep it shallow, about 2 to 3 inches in depth, and place in a shady location, away from dense shrubbery or wooded area to protect the water-laden bathers from predators. A nearby isolated tree or shrub, easily accessible with their wet wings, will give birds a place to preen after they bathe. To avoid having mos- quitoes breed in the water during the warm months, hose out and refill the birdbath every two or three days. For plant clinics in Sumter County call 353793-2728. At the Sumter County annex on C.R. 466 on the first Monday of the month from 1 to 4 p.m. A Florida Friendly Landscape Series is held at the Lake Penasoffkee Recreation Center, 1852 C.R. 457 in Lake Panasofkee from 3:30 to 5 p.m. every second Wednesday.
