Man sentenced in DUI death


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Andres Martinez-Galvan, 24,
of Center Hill, learned his fate
last Wednesday, Feb. 2, for
causing the May 15 death of
21-year-old Laura Vickers.
Martinez-Galvan was travel-
ing eastbound on County
Road 470 when he crossed
into the westbound lane, strik-
ing the right front of Beth


Walker's vehicle with the right
front of his own. Vickers, a
passenger in Walker's
Mercury Cougar, was pro-
nounced dead at the scene.
Walker was treated for
injuries at Leesburg Regional
Medical Center.
In court last week,
Martinez- Galvan entered a
plea of no contest and was
sentenced to 12 1/2 years in
prison for DUI manslaughter
and his driving privilege has


been revoked permanently.
Because he is not a citizen of
the United States, Martinez-
Galvan will most likely serve
his sentence and then be
deported, according to
Assistant State Attorney
Michael Lamberti.
The Vickers family and
Walker are seeking restitution
for medical bills and funeral
expenses.
Some of Vickers' family and
friends had the opportunity to


address the court and
Martinez-Galvan. It was a very
emotional day for many of
Laura's friends, co-workers,
and family members who
tightly fit into half of the seats
in the courtroom.
They were wearing badges
with Laura's picture on them
and had made a collage with
pictures of her throughout her
life which they displayed
before the court.
"It will give me closure on


the judicial part of this,"
Laura's mother Judy Vickers
said before the sentencing.
"We're certainly not going to
have closure on her death at
all.
"It's important to me that he
knows," she said. "I want him
to hear us."
Speaking first was Laura's
brother, 18-year-old Kevin

Thomas E. Langley Medical Center staff. board
members, and folks from around the county gath-
ered to witness a ceremonial check presentation
on Monday.
The check represents a $7-million federal loan
from USDA Rural Development for a new 41,300-
square-foot building, which will replace all of
the old Sumterville facility except for the admin-
istration section.
The new facility will be constructed on 10
acres adjacent to where Langley is currently
located on U.S. 301. About 50 enthusiastic people
crowded around Charles W\ Clemons Si:, director
of Florida USDA. as he signed the check
"Sumter County and Sumnterville are very
blessed to have a facility like this." Clemons said.
He spoke about commitment to rural healthcare,
accessibility, and called Langleyv "the epitome of
capitalism."
"We think that this organization has a great,
great team." he said.
Jim .Alen. chairman of the Langley board of
directors, also had a few words to say. "'The staff
are the ones who make this place special," he
said.
This new medical building will enable staff
there to better serve their patients. Langley offi-
cials say that the center has outgrown its walls,
and they're glad to be getting a new, more mod-
ern facility

.Friday, but because the accident
was fatal, the crash was being
handled as a potential vehicular
homicide.
He said from evidence gath-
ered at the scene and witness
statements, it appears Miley was
driving south down Elkcam
when Wilber, traveling in the
opposite direction, crossed over
,the centerline.
'According to witnesses, he

'high school the day after her
.funeral. "You took my only sister
,and my best friend," he said.
' "It's not fair that you, an indi-
-.vidual who is not even supposed
.jo be in this country, killed
"aura Vickers," he said. "You
swill never understand what
you've done unless you experi-
,5ence it yourself. It's (my family's)
punishment for your crime.
; "Unfortunately, you will only
"'have to pay for it with 12 V2 years

pleased with the way the court


the section of .road where the
crash occurred.
Coggins said neither driver
was wearing a seatbelt The 1998
Dodge pickup Wiley was driving
was equipped with an airbag,
which deployed during the
crash. The truck's hood and
engine compartment was
pushed back against the wind-
shield.
FHP investigators remained
at the scene until late in the
afternoon, walking around both
vehicles and gathering evidence
toward a cause of the crash.
Laser-guided measuring devices
were used to make measure-
ments and map out the crash
scene.
Debris was scattered across
the pavement where both trucks
had handled the case and the
state attorney's legal team did
well in keeping them informed.
What frustrated them is the
law. Laura's father, Darryl
Vickers, called Martinez-
Galvan's sentence "a slap on the
hand."
"Every time I think about my
little girl, I have to think about
you," he said. "It's the worst feel-
ing a father .or husband can
have."
"She was intelligent, beauti-
ful, strong-willed, and one of my
two reasons for living," Judy
Vickers said. She talked about
some of her memories of Laura
and said, 'As I look back, I'm so
grateful for those days."
Laura had just moved to
Orlando, and Judy told her she

ror from one of the trucks lay on
the pavement between empty
beer cans and rubber medical
gloves.
Coggins said charges are
pending following the conclu-
sion of the investigation.
Himmel said Manzy was a
great person who touched more
lives than he probably knew. She
said the district's crisis team
would be available for students
and faculty in need of counsel-
ing.
"Yesterday, you mentioned his
name to anybody, and there
wouldn't be a person without a
smile on their face," she said.
"Mention his name today, and
there wouldn't be a person with-
out a tear in their eye."
Mothers' day because 'she knew
money was tight and Laura had
just spent several days with her
family.
To Judy's surprise, when she
awoke on that day, her daughter
was on the couch. Judy and her
two children had breakfast
together then. "That was the last
time I saw my daughter alive, on
Mothers' Day".I
Martinez-Galvan's attorney,
Assistant Public Defender Hugh
Lee said, "He's truly sorry for
what happened," and that he
has acknowledged what he's
done and is ready to pay for it
Lee said what happened on
Wednesday was more than what
usually goes on at a sentencing,
but it helped the victim's family.
"It was for their benefit," he
said.

"Then I got bored," the 63-year-
old said.
She got involved in school
nursing by chance she simply
answered an ad in the newspa-
per. Three years later, she's the.
first nurse in Sumter to have
been named Florida School
Nurse of the Year by the Florida
Association of School Nurses.
She's worked at the Sumter
County Health Department for
only a few years, but her super-
visor, Judy Bailey, said Furphy
has done so well over the past
year, she really wanted to nomi-
nate her even though she's
never nominated anyone before.
"She went over and above
during the hurricanes for us,"
Bailey said. Furphy. even

unteers in the shelters. "And
she's built up a good repertoire
with teens and parents."
In a letter Bailey sent to the
selection committee, she
described Furphy's relationship
with her students. "They trust
her to know what they need,
have patience with them. Her
students know that she will give
them honest answers to their
questions."
It was last Monday when
Bailey got a call telling her that
Furphy had been chosen. "You
could've heard me all over the
building. "If was great," she said.
"I was speechless, which is
unusual for me," Fbrphy said
laughing. "I was shocked... there
are so many other good school
nurses." She also said that the
school nursing program is not
about individuals and that
Sumter's success has been a
team effort.
Kathleen Rose, chair of the
Florida School Nurse of the
Willie Rollins, 29, Lake
Panasoffkee, was arrested on-
two counts of trafficking in
cocaine. Bond was set at
$150,000.
A Wildwood juvenile was
arrested for possession of mari-
juana with intent to sell, posses-
sion of cocaine and resisting an
officer without violence.
Caruthers said the drug
sweep is an on-going effort by
local law enforcement officers
to reduce illegal drug activity
throughout the county.


Year Committee, explained that
while not many nurses are nom-
inated for the honor, that's
because of the strict criteria
nominees must meet including
research experience, health
education, and ethics.
Once state .Nurses of the Year
are selected, they are judged
again and a National School
Nurse of the Year is selected.
Rose hopes Firphy will be "rec-
ognized on the national level
also."
Furphy said she likes working
with middle and high school stu-
dents the most, and she spends
most of her time at Wildwood
Middle School and Wildwood
High School.
Furphy's secret to being a
good school nurse? "Teaching
the young people good health
habits and explaining things to
them in terms they can under-
stand. When they know why,
they're more inclined to take
advice," she said.

There's a cuddly bear just
waiting to share a little love
with someone special out
there.
No need to travel your
search has to take you only
as far as the adoption nurs-
ery at South Sumter High
School. Just in time for
Valentine's Day, there's a
baby crib filled with bright
faces, who need the perfect
"parent"
They're the hug you'd love
to give that someone special.
They're the bright spot in the
day you'd love to share.
Part of a fundraiser hosted
by the Karen Cloud's psy-
chology class at the school,
folks can go into the nursery,
pick out their favorite bear,
fill out the adoption certifi-
cate and send a message of
love to their loved one. And
the cash goes to the
American Cancer Society
during Sumter's upcoming
Relay for Life.


Not only is the bear great
for sweethearts on
Valentine's Day, but Cloud
also thinks it's a great gift for
any cancer survivor.
Don't have a sweetheart?
Don't know a cancer sur-
vivor?
That's fine pick a friend -
anyone who's special to you.
It's $10 to adopt a bear and
on Feb.14, students will actu-
ally be delivering the little
charges to their new homes
in highly populated business
areas.
They even have a little
candy to accompany the new
family member
Cloud said the students
donated the bears and
they're working towards 100
bears, which will mean
$1,000 in donation money
They were at 96 earlier this
week and she was sure
they'd reach their goal by the
end of the week
They have candy for most
of the bears, but are still tak-
ing donations of candy to
complete the nursery.


A close-up of some friendly faces willing to spread a little
love on Valentine's Day.

Teacher Karen Cloud (left, middle kneeling) is shown with her students from psychology at South Sumter High -School. The
students are raising money for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. The students have a nursery full of bears for
the public to pick from. For $10, anybody can adopt a bear, obtain the adoption certificate and pass it on to someone special.
The students will even available to deliver the bears on Valentine's Day, so check with Cloud if you have someone special in
mind.


County hits snags



with sex shops


Sending some love




this Valentine's Day


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County
Commissioners in recent
meetings have been persist-
ently clear that they don't
want any adult, sexually ori-
ented businesses in the coun-
ty.
But on Tuesday, their hired
consultant told them that they
might, well have to permit
some of those businesses in
the future. However, the
board also got some assur-
ances that they could limit the
impacts of adult businesses
on local communities by
adopting regulations before
any more set up shop in the
county.
Commissioners 'discussed
the issue in a workshop that
was generally the first phase
of developing land use regula-
tions to help restrict sexually
explicit businesses like
Xmart, which opened last
summer near Wildwood.
The board on Tuesday also
approved an extension of a
moratorium on any new adult
businesses that is slated to be
in effect into April.
Just after that vote, the com-
missioners got what amount-
ed to a condensed course on
the basics of adult business
regulation from Eric Damien
Kelley, a vice president of
Duncan Associates, an
Illinois-based land-use con-
sulting firm.
During the past year or so,
Kelly has become somewhat
an authority on regulating the
sex industry.
"I know more about sex
businesses than my mother
ever wanted me to know,"
Kelly commented during the
start of visual presentation.
His discussion covered a
number of aspects about adult
businesses and the pitfalls
involved in trying to regulate
them. And, echoing the fre-
quent prior comments of
County Attorney Randall
Thornton, Kelly told commis-
sioners that they couldn't sim-
ply bar the businesses.
The board cannot get into
censorship and there are
already state laws that bar the
sale or distribution of obscene
materials, Kelly said.
He suggested that the board
focus on limiting the "second-
ary impacts" of the sex busi-
*nesses: loss of property val-
ues, difficulty in selling prop-
erty, impacts on children and
increased crime rates.
This is done by regulating
how far the businesses have to
be from churches, schools and
residential areas, limiting the
businesses to specific zoning

Citizens gathered at a special

killed in an automobile accident
at his residence last month.

Clifford Wynns, who lives on
that road, said apart from the
problems this would present to
many homeowners due to the
address change, it would also be
"tampering with history,"
because the road was named for
another prominent Sumter
County resident
"I don't think Lane himself
would want to change Noble
Avenue," Wynns said.
Purcell Funeral Home is on
that road, but there are also
many residences like Wynns'.
Wynns said there are a dozen
things he could think of to honor
Lane Purcell, but changing the

Landscape beautification
What a welcome surprise!
Have you noticed the lovely new
landscaping in downtown Bush-
nell?
I can hardly wait to seethe spring,,
and summer blossoms of crape'
myrtle, '. oleander, Indian
Hawthorne,' viburnum and red


berries on the Palatka holly. The
ligustrum trees should provide a
good sound barrier from the rail-
road. Also, palm trees and "wel-
come" structures are added inter-
est to the landscape.
Thanks to city manager, Vince
Ruano, and the council for pursu-.
ing the grant application for the
beautification and improvement'


that we will enjoy now and in the
future.
We should all take pride in the
beauty of our picturesque oak trees
and all nature around us. I am dis-
turbed to see trash along south 301.
Would a double fine sign for litter-
ing be a deterrent?

W hen I was 9, Sam Lang's
basset hound bit my lower
lip, ripping a hole in my
face.
I didn't really know
what had happened ,
when it happened. I had
bent down and said, "Hi
doggie," or something
like that
The dog I don't
remember its name -
didn't "growl or bark; it
just jumped up and tore
my lip..
We were in Sam Lang's
back yard, and I remem-
ber Sam's mother saying, NA
"In my car!" I didn't KEN
know where, we were
going in her car, but I got
in the back seat with my mom, and
with a washcloth pressed to my jaw,
we rode to the hospital..I got 40
stitches, and still' have a scar that
runs from the right side of my lower
lip to my chin.
Sam Lang's parents came to see
me a few days later and brought me
a doll, and the two ladies who lived
next door brought me lime Jell-O
mixed with applesauce and gar-
nished with sour cream. At school
my teacher made me sit with her in
the teacher's lunchroom every day
until my stitches came out
Ever since then, I've been afraid
of dogs when I first meet them,
although once I get used to a friend-
ly one I'm OK However, as afraid
as I am of dogs. in people's yards,
it's the dogs in my dreams that ter-
rify me. At least they did until I
asked God to explain what these
dreams are about' ;
Of all my recurring dreams, the
dog dreams are the most disturb-
ing. I'm talking growling, snarling,


IN
I?


Cujo-type monster dogs right out of
a Stephen King novel. These dogs
eat people and fling their carcasses
like rag dolls and laugh with undog-
like voices and they
change forms and haunt
me. These dogs are pure
evil.
SIn mydreams, thedogs
are out to attack me,
although I always wake
up before they reach me.
Still, the. whole next day
after one 'of these
dreams I'm teary and
shaky and feel in need of
Holy Communion or a
MCY prayer meeting or some-
NEDY. thing healing and
cleansing.
Several passages in
the Bible talk about dogs in the
same snarly, evil way. "Deliver my
life from the sword, my precious
life from the power of the dogs!"
wrote one of the psalmists. Quite
often, dogs in the Bible are vicious,
wild, disturbing, Aot at all petlike.
Those are the dogs of my dreams.
One time I asked God if, the next
time I had a dog dream, I could fin-
ish it before waking up. Here's how
it went: The dogs, rabid-looking
and in a murderous frenzy, break
out of their fenced area and race
toward me. I freeze, "panicked.
Then, just before they lunge to
begin tearing me apart, I face them.
With perfect calm, I look them in
the eye and whisper a word, just
one word.
'Jesus."
.That's all it takes, just the name
Jesus, and they stop mid-lunge,
hang their tails between their legs
and whimper.
That's when I notice that they're
scrawny and mangy and riddled


with fleas, and what's most amazing
-they have no teeth!
So Itell them to get lost and leave
me alone, and they do. They crawl
back to where they came from,
powerless, defeated: ---- --...
These dreams, I now know, are
profoundly spiritual and not some-
thing I often talk about. We
Presbyterians don't talk much
about the invisible battles that take
place "in the heavenlies," battles
against spiritual forces of evil, as
the Bible says. But theses battles
are as real as God is; I'll just leave
it at that
I'm not sure why I'm writing this.
'Maybe someone (you?) feels hound-
ed, as if by snarling, vicious dogs. I
don't know; I'm just writing. Or
maybe someone (again, you?)
needs a reminder that there's
power in the name of Jesus.
In-1529, Martin Luther wrote the
hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our
7od." In it he says, "And though this
world, with devils filled, should
threaten to undo us, we will not
fear, for God hath willed His truth
to triumph through us: The Prince
of Darkness grim, we tremble not
for him; his rage we dan endure, for
lo, his doom is sure, one little word
shall fell him."
I still have dog dreams, but they
don't scare ,me any more. That's
because I know the one little word
that fells the snarliest of evil.
'Jesus." The Word is Jesus.

Webster bicyclist


arrested for DUI


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

A Webster man was arrest-
ed Saturday for driving a
bicycle while under the
influence of alcohol.
Marcos Garcia, 19,
Webster, was arrested after
witnesses reported seeing
him weaving in and out of
traffic on his bike near the
intersection of County Road
48 and State Road 471 in
Beville's Corner, according
to sheriff's Lt. Bobby
Caruthers.
When Deputy Angelia
Griffith arrived, about 6 p.m.,
she saw Garcia fall off his
bicycle and then get back on,
Caruthers said.
Griffith reported that
Garcia was weaving back


and forth on the bike as he
traveled along County Road
48 in traffic.
The deputy stopped
Garcia and attempted to
speak with him, Caruthers
said. Garcia did not speak
English so an interpreter
was used to translate.
First Garcia told the offi-
cer that he-had two beers to
drink but later said he had
had five beers, Caruthers
said.
Garcia failed a roadside
sobriety test given by the offil
cer, Caruthers said. -
Garcia was then arrested.
He was placed in the Sumter
County Detention Center
with bond set at $500.
The officer returned
Garcia's bicycle to his home,
Caruthers said.

Sn iorADVOCATE Wildwood car dealer honored


Premium hike indicates insurer's dumping


The new Medicare law
and its effects on the
pockets of its beneficiar-
ies are raising more confusion
and concern. The primary con-
cern is with the new
prescription drug
rules and regula-
tions of the law, and
what will happen
with secondary cov-
erage and its cost.
So, every couple
of weeks, we shall
talk about our "new
Me di care. "
Hopefully, you will
have a better under-
standing of the AN
Medicare program
and the intent of the
law.
Round one: The cost of sec-
:ondary insurance.
It is my belief that secondary
insurers will become either
costly or say goodbye. '
I recently spoke to a group,
and, upon my conclusion, one
young woman said, "I think
that I am frightened." Well, I
am not seeking reelection in 20
months, so I have no agenda to
scare you. On the contrary, I
may speak the truth, not truth
the way I see it, but the reality
of truth itself.
I recently received some cor-
_respondence from a neighbor,
who happened to have insur-
ance with the same company
for 20 years.
Kindly note, this is an indi-
vidual health insurance policy
issued to a couple. The compa-
ny is a major one.
The husband and wife are
older than 65 and are Medicare
beneficiaries. They are non-
smokers, and both are in good
-health. Their previous quarter-
ly premium was $540. The poli-
cy is and was secondary to
Medicare, with a prescription


drug benefit; The deductible is
$500 per individual, with a
coinsurance of only 50 percent.
I now quote from the letter
my neighbor received from the
insurer: "We are
" discontinuing your
medical insurance
plan, and replacing
S it with our current
insurance plan in
S". your state. Your
k, plan provides very
S limited benefits. We
do not offer a simi-
lar plan and are
replacing your cov-
erage with a major
tOHAN medical plan insur-
ance plan."
Now, one must
understand that an
insurer can cancel a plan of
health insurance, unless it is
underwritten and considered
"guaranteed renewable,"
although they can break your
heart and pockets by raising
the guaranteed renewable pre-
mium by "class." Class is basi-
cally the same type of health
insurance, within the same
geographical area. However,
most health insurance policies
for those younger than 65 will
have a limited guaranteed-
renewable provision. These
types of policies will terminate
upon a certain predetermined
age, like age 65. Medigap or
Medicare supplement insur-
ance must contain at least a
guaranteed renewable provi-
sion.
Obviously, this policy was not
a Medigap or a guaranteed
renewable policy.
However, it does not seem
like this insurer really wanted
this couple as policyholders. I
am somewhat confused. How
did the 'insurer get state
approval to offer a major med-
ical policy to a couple receiv-


indy Clark, president of
Cindy Chevrolet, Inc.,
received the 2005 Time
Magazine Quality Dealer
Award (TMQDA)
recently.

ment was made by

try's most presti-
S gious and highly
S coveted award for

recipients are
.* among the nation's

dealers. However,
Clark they must also
demonstrate a long-
standing commitment to
effective community service.

mobile dealers, from more
than 19,500 nationwide, nomi-
nated for the 36th annual
award. The award is spon-

ing Medicare?
It is contrary to federal law
to duplicate a Medicare bene-
fit. A true major medical policy
does just that!
The neighbor's letter contin-
ues: "Since this is a much more
comprehensive plan than your
current one, you will notice
that there is a significant pre-
mium difference."
My neighbor's new com-
bined quarterly premium:
$7,453.29. The couple no longer
has any secondary insurer.
The various 50 states and
their insurance commissioners
regulate insurance policies,
their validity, legality and their
cost.
There is no question in my
mind that the insurer's inten-
tion was to simply dump this
couple. Why?
How did this type of policy
receive approval by the state,
when it is obviously in viola-
tion of federal Medicare regu-
lation?
Remember, there will not be
any federal regulation of your
prescription drug plans.
Insurance companies, and 50
far-too-cooperative depart-
ments of insurance will deter-
mine their cost.
No, don't be freighted, just
be aware. And welcome to 21st
century Medicare.

Wildwood teams to compete in 'LifeSmarts' finals


High school students from
around the state will compete
for the state championship of
"LifeSmarts ... the Ultimate
Consumer Challenge," on Feb.
21 at the Florida State Fair in
Tampa.
Three teams from
Wildwood High School are
included in the event
LifeSmarts is an innovative
competition that tests stu-
dents on their knowledge of


personal financial manage-
ment, health and safety, the
environment, technology and
telecommunications, and con-
sumer rights and responsibili-
ties. The program is designed
to encourage students to think
seriously about important
consumer issues through a
challenging, game-show for-
mat.
"High school students
spend billions of dollars each


year, but studies show that
many lack knowledge about
consumer issues," Florida
Agriculture and Consumer
Services Commissioner
Charles H. Bronson said.
"Through the LifeSmarts pro-
gram, students learn how to
obtain answers to practical
problems, like buying a car
and insurance, or understand-
ing credit card interest rates.
These are important skills


that will last a lifetime."
The state finals in the
LifeSmarts competition will
begin at 9 a.m. on Monday,
Feb. 21, in the Club Pavilion at
the Florida State Fair in
Tampa. To learn more about
the LifeSmarts competition,
visit www.lifesmarts.6rg or
contact Gwen Worlds, Florida
LifeSmarts coordinator, at
850410-3702.


Forum on Social Security changes


Will the safety net be fixed
or made weaker?
Consumer advocate Philip
Compton will look at the basis
for the historic changes being
proposed to Social Security
and Medicaid by both
President Bush and Governor
. Bush.
He will examine how these
changes will affect Floridians.
The forum, open to all, will be
held at the Brooksville
Women's Club, 131 S. Main


Street, Brooksville, Sunday,
Feb. 13, at 1:30 p.m.
The goal of this campaign is
to encourage Floridians to
express informal opinions to
their representative while
changes are under considera-
tion. All interested citizens
are urged to attend. This
event is sponsored by the
Unitarian Universalist
Church in the Pines.
Call Irene Keim at 793-2268

ever' since. He has had some
pretty low days but here of
late he is on the comeback
trail and he is going to whip
the cancer and prayfully we
can make a few more hunts
together on down the road.
Talking about hunting out
west, the first time Darrol
went to North Idaho with me
we were rifle hunting elk and
on one of our scouting days
just before the season opened,
he, Jim Veal of Lake
Panasoffkee, Doyle Reynolds,
the local game warden, and I
were up on a place called
Grizzly Ridge when we saw
four huge bull elk way across
a deep canyon.
Well, the sight of those four
bull elk turned us all on big
time so we decided to go after
them the next morning, which
was the first day of the season.
We cold camped right on the
ground that night not to far
from where we had seen the
elk and at the first crack of day
the next morning we woke up
and found our sleeping bags
slap covered with snow that
had slipped in on us during
the night
As soon as we had enough
daylight we struck out after
the elk We separated pretty
quickly and both of us got
after elk but neither got off a
shot. Darrol made it off the
mountain as planned but I
stayed up on the mountain
way too long and nightfall
caught me and I ended up
spending a long miserable
night on the mountain.
Darrol had no way of know-
ing I was OK so he and Mr. Jim
Veal tried all night to find me
the best they could but there
was no way, as I was camped
beside a small creek and with
noise the running creek made


I could not hear and return
their gunshots as they tried to
locate me.
Anyway, I got a pretty good
night's sleep hunkered down
beside a big fire I built, but Mr..
Jim and Darrol were worried
that something bad had hap-
pened to me. It was a long
rainy and cold night but as
soon as day broke I was off
that mountain in no time and
when I got to the bottom there
was Darrol and Mr. Jim wait-
ing for me. That is the kind of
person that Darroll is, and
until this day I still appreciate
his and Mr. Jim's concern
about me.
When you have spent as
much time in the woods with
someone as I have with
Darrol, you could literally
write a book about all the
good times that took place. I
have to laugh when I remi-
nisce about one of the trips to
Idaho and the yellow jackets
were absolutely terrible.
Yellow jackets are attracted to
fresh meat and one day at
camp Darrol was trying to cut
up some deer back strap for
dinner and Doyle and I got to
laughing at his antics as he
fought off yellow jackets with
one hand and tried to cut up
the meat with the other.
Most men I know would
have been cussing up a fit or
given up, but Darrol just went
on with his battle with the
swarming yellow jackets and
we had fried deer back strap
for dinner that night
Anyway, there are dozens
more campfire stories I could
put in this article but I will get
to them on down the road one
day. For now, my prayers are
with Darrol, Joyce and his
family that he gets well soon
and gets back into the woods
he loves so much.

Getting the Big Bucksi


HENRY POATES
Times Correspondent

Big bucks were at risk in a
hunting contest sponsored by
the Community National Bank
of Pasco County in association
with Nordic Pawn and Sport
located in Wildwood. The con-
test began with the start of hunt-
ing season and ran until Jan. 4.
The contest was created by
Community National Bank of
Pasco County's president, "Bud"
James Stainaker. Stainaker had
the idea to purchase some rifles
from Nordic and present them
to the winners of the "Big Buck"
contest. According to Michael
Winter from the bank, the con-
test was advertised in all of
Community Nationals branches
and ads were also placed in
local newspapers. Applications
were also available at Nordic
Gun and Pawn.
There were 15 entries, from
surrounding areas, competing
in this year's contest. The
requirements for the contest
were that the hunter hal to be a
legal Florida hunter and the
deer must be a Florida deer
taken in the State of Florida. All
legal weapons were allowed and
there was no age or gender
restrictions placed on the par-
ticipants.
Contestants were required to
bring their trophy deer to
Nordic to be measured and
scored. Billy Vernon, of Nordic
Pawn and Sport, did the scoring.
According to Vernon, "scoring
was determined by using the


typical Boone and Crockett staf-
dards without any deductions."
The results were then report--
ed to the bank for the first- and
second-place winners. "Scorin'g
was very close," said VernoA:.
"The early front runner was
knocked out of the prize late iii
the season, there was only about
two points that separated, the
third place entry"
Phil Maxwell, of Zephyrhills;
was the first-place winner with)a
score of 116 1/8 points. Lofi,
Noland, of Clermont, was their
second-place winner with '4
score of 114 2/8 points.
Maxwell's first-place priie
was a stainless steel, .270-cali
iber, Ruger, short magnum rifle.
Noland's prize was a .22-caliber

Celebrating 30 years of Special Olympics


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent

With the opening theme of
:the Olympics playing in the
background, Master of
Ceremonies Randall
Thornton opened the Sumter
:County Special Olympics cel-
,ebrating its 30th year.
Donnie Collina driving the
Sheriff's Department
antique car led off the
Parade of Athletes:
'Participants from North
Sumter Intermediate,
Wildwood High, South
Sumter High, SCARC, Inc. as
well as independent athletes
and two Manatee County vol-
leyball teams walked the
,track before Allen Mullen, of
the Bushnell Assembly of
God, gave the invocation.
Sheriff Bill Farmer called
for the presentation of colors
,and led the crowd in the
iPledge of Allegiance fol-
lowed by his singing the
National Anthem.
Opening ceremonies at
South Sumter High School
included the torch race with
Patrick Berkhimer, a 10th
grader from Wildwood High
,School, lighting the official
flame.
"It was excellent, I felt
good," said Berkhimer, who
plans a career in electrical
work with his brother-in-law
and attributes his participa-
tion in the Special Olympics
to his teacher
County Attorney Randall
7Thornton has been a sup-
,porter of Special Olympics
for years.
"I \\as approached by a
group of ladies who wanted

involved ever since," he said.

BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

The wind whipped across
the playing field, but Lake
Panasoffkee Elementary
School Patriots and Eagles did-
n't disappoint
The fifth graders ran the
field in a competition that
seemed to foretell Sunday's
national game results. The
Lake Pan Patriots took the
local Eagles in a 44-0 nothing
win.
The New England team took
Philadelphia 24-21.
Snacks were passed around
the stadium during the Sunday
game and hot dogs were on the
grill during Friday's local
game.
Cheerleaders and the crowd
urged the teams on as students
huddled beneath sheets and
cuddled next to each to fight off
the wind and chill. ,
This year's quarterbacks
were Ian Papenheim for the
Patriots and Hayden Fields
and Dillon Baker for the
Eagles.
"The kids are just thrilled,"
said event coordinator and
physical education teacher
Peggy Wood, adding that you
can hear them talking and say-
ing things like, "Those are the
real football players" when
South Sumter High School
Coach Inman Sherman and his
varsity players show up to ref-
eree and coach the game.
While the event is something
fun for the entire school to look
forward to, it's also a lesson in
sportsmanship, she notes.
She kicked off the local
Super Bowl 15 years ago, when
some of her students were talk-
ing about it The national game
had continued to grow and the
students, now out of high school,
asked if they could have their
own, Wood said.
Sherman had a winning
record, even back then, but it's
his focus on sportsmanship that
led Wood to ask him to join in.
Sherman's been involved
since the beginning, Wood said,
adding that it also serves as a
mentor-type program because of
Sherman's strength in sports-
manship.
"He taught sportsmanship.
He's big on sportsmanship," she
said, adding that he typically
wins the sportsmanship award,
"The kids looked up to him,"
and his lesson as he teaches
about "Being a good sport,
whether you win or lose and just
doing the best you can."
Ironically, the local team
record is pretty good when it
comes to how the follow-up will


such a needed program."
In the Volleyball Division,
the Sumter Nighthawks beat
the Manatee Slammers in the
first two games.
The Sumter Magic a
Division 4 team also beat the
Manatee Lizards 2 games in a
row.
Area games will take place
March 5th in Pinellas County
and the State Games begin
April 29th.
The first games were held
March 15 1975 at the Webster
Elementary School with 49
participants.
Since then, the. program
has grown from one season of
track and field to 150 partici-
pants competing in such
events as track and field, bas-
ketball, volleyball, .bocce,
horseshoes, softball, golf,
bowling and soccer

Wildcats take Raiders


in hoop action, 57-52


ROBIN EDBINS
Times Correspondent

The Wildwood Wildcats
won last Friday's basketball
game against the South
Sumter Raiders after coming
from behind for a 5-point
lead.
South Sumter took the lead
in the first three quarters but
the Wi Idcats came back strong
in the second half of the game
leaving them the victors with
a final score of 57-52.
The Raiders played a strong
game in the first quarter with
a 16-9 lead over the Wildcats
and continued to dominate
the Wildcats with a 23-9 lead
going into the second period.
But South Sumter was in for
a surprise in the final few
minutes of the game when the
Wildcats took the lead, 45-44
and then followed to the win-
ning score.
South Sumter Coach Keith
Hileman said, "We had a cou-


ple of turnovers and didn't
take care of the ball like we
should have and it cost us a
lot"
"It was pretty exciting. I
believe we are playing them
in district too and look for-
ward to that It was a good
crowd. They beat us down
there (at South Sumter High)
and it's our turn now," said
Wildcat Coach Von Moreland.

PUBLIC NOTICE
STATE OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE 2 PERMITS
The Department of Environmental Protection gives no-
tice of Its Intent to Issue 2 air pollution permits (Permit
File Nos, 1190039-001-AC & 1190039-002-AO, 1-docu-
ment) to Jetta Products, Inc. for after-the-fact con-
struction and operation of a plastic composite produc-
tion facility located at 1200 Lee Street, Wildwood, Sum-
ter County. The proposed permits will contain federally
enforceable specific limitations that will result In poten-
tial air pollutant emissions less than the Title V threshold
limits, thus becoming a synthetic non-Title V source and
exempting It from the Title V permitting requirements.
These limitations will also control the emissions of haz-
ardous air pollutants (HAPs), thereby avoiding the Title
V permitting requirements of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C.)
MAILING ADDRESS Jetta Products, Inc., 1200 Lee
Street, Wildwood. FL 34785 to the attention of Mr.
Charles Richard Johns. C.E.O./President.
The Department will Issue the permits with the at-
tached conditions unless a timely petition for an ad-
ministrative hearing is tiled pursuant to Sections 120.569
and 120.57, F.S., before the deadline for filing a peti-
tion. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are
set forth below,
A person whose substantial Interests are affected by
the proposed permitting decision may petition for an
administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections
120.569 and 120.57; F.S. The petition must contain the
Information set forth below and must be filed
(received) In the Office of General Counsel of the De-
partment at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mall Sta-
tlon'35, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-3000. Petitions filed
by the permit applicant or any of the parties listed be-
low must be filed within fourteen days of receipt of this
notice of Intent. Petition's filed by any persons other
than those entitled to written notice under Section
120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within fourteen days of
publication of the public notice or within fourteen days
of receipt of this notice of Intent, whichever occurs first.
Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who
asked the Department fortnotice of agency action
may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of
that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A
petitioner shall mall a copy of the petition to the appli-
cant at the address Indicated above at the time of fil-
ing. The failure of any person to file a petition within
the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of
that person's right to request an administrative determi-
nation (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57,
F.S., or to Intervene In this proceeding and participate
as a party to It. Any subsequent Intervention will be
only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the
f* iling of a motion In compliance with Rule 28-106.205,
F.A.C.
A petition that disputes the material facts on which the
Department's action Is based must contain the follow-
ing Information:
(a) The name and address of each agency affected
and each agency's file or Identification number, If
known;
(b) The name, address, and telephone number of the
petitioner the name, address, and telephone number
of the petitioner's representative, If any, which shall be
the address for service purposes during the course of
'the proceeding; and an explanation of how the peti-
tioner's substantial Interests will be affected by the
agency determination;
(c) A statement of how and when petitioner received
notice of the agency action or proposed action;
(d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact.
If there are none, the petition must so Indicate;
(e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged,
Including the specific facts the petitioner contends
warrant reversal or modification of the agency's ac-
tion; and
(f) A statement of specific rules or statutes the peti-
floner contends require reversal or modification of the
agency's proposed action; and
(g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner,
stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the agen-
cy to take with respect to the agency's proposed ac-
tion.
A petition that does not dispute the material facts
upon which the Department's action Is based shall
state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise
shall contain the same Information as set forth above,
as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. ,
Because the administrative hearing process is designed
to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition
means that the Department's final action may be dif-
ferent from the position taken by It in this permit. Per-
sons whose substantial Interests will be affected by any
such final decision of the Department on the applica-
tion have the right to petition to become a party to
the proceeding, In accordance with the requirements
set forth above.
Mediation Is not available In this proceeding.
The application is available for public Inspection during
normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except legal holidays, at 8407 Laurel
Fair Circle, STE 214, Tampa, Florida.
Any person may request to obtain additional Informa-
