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. The Natura SE-3 is powered
by the smallest, most sophisticated microchip ever in a hearing aid. This allows the
Natura SE-3 to be personalized with the incredible micro accuracy of 1 dB steps to
allow for the most precise fit possible for your particular hearing loss (now and in the
future should those needs change). This is in part,
, .. ..,,,., ,- what enables the incredible speech understanding
.,- improvement that many people perceive while using
-them. It also features nine (9) independent, individ-
-.,, ual, personal loudness reduction channels that pro-
,,I..,..,,,, ,,,,,,, vide immediate real time comfort in even the worst
n1i MMMilM hIUM~i' listening environments. While many hearing aids not
only fail to reduce back ground noise, they actually enhance it, the SE-3's patented
technology detects and reduces much of the background noise. Says who? How about
independent research from the world famous Cleveland Clinic, Washington
University, Vanderbilt University and Aarhus University Hospital! Simply put, the
result is more natural, lifelike sound quality and improved speech understanding, espe-
cially in noisy environments. All done automatically! And there's more...

Sumter makes requests to legislators
".' >. "


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.

All second and third graders from Lake Panasoffkee Elementary and North Sumter Primary participated in the "Too Good For
[Drugs" program. All the students and their teachers, signed the banner shown here. Their signature was a pledge that they are'
going to do their part in saying no to drugs. The students in the photo were selected to present the banner to Sheriff Farmer

A dedication service for the
new veterans' memorial in
front of the courthouse is being
planned for Monday, Feb. 21, at
2 p.m.
Dan Baker, veteran service
manager, said he's trying to get
some speakers for the service,
including Senators Carey
Baker, and Paula Dockery.
Presenting the flag and per-

Guard and local veterans will

Through the beginning of
last month, 116 bricks had been
purchased, and in December
the first inscribed bricks were
laid. So far 12 more have been
purchased, and Baker said
he'd like to get the word out
and have more veterans and
families buy them.
Baker went on to say that
many in the community are
very glad that the project is
going on. One such person is
Hairy Lovett, a veteran in his
eighties. "He really appreci-
ates that happening," Baker
said.

said, adding that they said it's
about time a memorial has
been constructed in the area.
; "I appreciate more than any-
thing the Sumter County
Commission supporting us


with the project," Baker said.
The County Commission has
given them permission to use

at this time how many will be

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.
Both generators were locat-
ed and returned to their own-
ers, he said.

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.

Traffic problem brought up at Wildwood meeting


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Residents of Second, Ross,
and Jackson Streets have a
problem with young people
"hanging out" on and racing
up and down their roads. 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

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,

Federal Consumer Protection has confirmed the fuel saving described in this advertisement.

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-

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."

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. Paid Advertisement

COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL


CELEBRATES 30TH

ANNIVERSARY!
Sumter County Economic Development Council is proud to announce that 2005 is the
30th Anniversary of the organization. The company was started back in 1975, the same year
that the first personal computers became available to the public. Could you imagine your
life today without this incredible machine? And for the times when yogr computer didn't
quite work, Tylenol made its debut as a superior pain reliever.


Pet rocks were the latest craze, and everyone
had one. 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....
We thank you!

Economic development is not about the destination it's about the

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

two new activities by bringing visi-

collecting donations at Buddy's
Tavern during a traditional 'Tavern

The folks at Buddy's Tavern
called several times with donations

a merry way to spend part of
Christmas Eve. "They were just so
generous," Eleanor added. Ninety-
seven volunteers provided 267 vol-

Bill Stewart noted that
$14,035.85 was collected at the red

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.

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.

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.

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

&wiorADVOCATE -s Information for entering the


Medicare drug benefit shows county fair horticulture show


H health and Human
Services Secretary
Tommy G. 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.
The only problem is the addi-

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.
Keep my green tea warm, and
I will talk to you next week.

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.

BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

South Sumter and
Wildwood high schools
marked the year with top foot-
ball players, including eight
selected as Florida Sports
Writer's Association All-Stars.
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

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

Outdoors wia ADAMS


Dealing with mosquitoes, ticks and other biting outdoor critters


he cold snap we just
went through the last few
days was much needed to
help knock pesky insects such
as mosquitoes and ticks back a
little. 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

fish-net type material directly
beneath the outside layer of
clothing that creates a deep
enough air space between the
outer layer of material and
your skin so that biting mosqui-
toes cannot reach your tender
spots.
Most of the time when I hunt
here in Florida all I have on
under the Shannon Bug Tamer
is'a T-shirt and the mosquitoes
cannot get to me. 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. Most of the
time just spraying a good dose
of insect repellent around the
bottom of your pants and on

your shoes or boots with keep
ticks off.
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.

A lesson
W walking your dog is not
only good exercise
Sfor both you and
Fido, but it also
stimulates your
dog's mind. 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! By the

learned


time I got the other dogs
home, and ran back up the
street to get Patty, she was
gone. 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.
Special note: The Humane
Society/SPCA is in desperate
need for your old blankets.
Please continue to donate
blankets to help keep the dogs
warm at the Animal Control
facility on freezing nights.
Deliver blankets to:

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.
Martin Grum is a Sumter
County Master Gardener, for
help with any garden or land-
scape advice call the Sumter
County Extension office at
352-793-2728.
