Established 1881 SUMTER COUNTY I VOLUME 121 NUMBER 6 35 CENTS INSIDE Calendar............ .10 Church ...............7 Obituaries ............ .6 Police Report ........ .3 Tidbits ...............5 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 20051 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a plea of no contest and was sentenced to 12 1/2 years in prison for DUI manslaughter and his driving privilege has been revoked permanently.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 Please see DUI, Page 2 Langley receives $ 7 million AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Thomas E.

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 Please see LANGLEY, Page 2 The people of Thomas E.

HEAD-ONY COLLISION 11 arrested in HONORS Local nuirse local drug sweep is honored Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Tod Cloud takes notes at the scene of a fatal accident last Friday morning in Citrus County. The driver of the white pickup truck died at the hospital, while the driver of the other pickup, which is pictured behind, was airlifted to a trauma hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Oxford man dies in crash DAVE PIEKLIK Special to the Times A longtime Citrus County school district employee was killed last Friday in an early tiorning accident in Citrus Springs. James "Manzy" Miley, 51, of Oxford was killed after a school district pickup truck he was driving was struck head-on by another pickup truck at about 9:11 a.m. on N. Elkcam Blvd., near the inter- section of W Redgate Drive. Miley; a maintenance worker for the school district, was transported to Seven Rivers Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the other truck, identified as Matthew Wilber, 39, of Homosassa, was transported by medical heli- copter to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, where he was list- ed in critical but stable condi- tion Friday afternoon. Officers from the Citrus County Sheriff's Office had to close down the road near the accident for more than five hours while the crash was investigated. Several school district members came out to the scene when word of the crash reached them. Superintendent of Schools Sandra "Sam" Himmel went to Seven Rivers to be with Miley's two brothers and girl- friend. Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Trooper Larry Coggins said the investigation Please see CRASH, Page 2 SBB REICHMAN Editor Eleven Sumter County resi- dents were arrested last week following a one-month investi- gation that led to a Friday drug sweep throughout the county. The operation was conduct- ed last Friday by the Sumter County Sheriff's Office Special Investigation Unit in a joint effort with the Sumthr County Narcotics Task Force,' according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. About a dozen Sumter County law enforcement offi- cers participated in the oper- ation, Caruthers said. The arrests were made over a two- day period. The following subjects were arrested for various narcotic charges as the result of the operation: Jasmine Lindsey, 18, of Wildwood, was arrested for sale of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a church. Bond was set at $30,000. Brandon J. Felton, 18, of Wildwood, was arrested on a warrant for possession of cocaine, warrant for sale of cocaine, possession of mari- juana with the intent to sell, delivery of marijuana.

She spent most Df her nursing career work- ing for Indiana University as a nursing lab coordinator and as a Penny Furphy Hospice nurse before she decided to call it quits and relax in Florida.

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 -(Wilber) was passing other northboundd traffic in a non pass- Hing lane," he said. :& There's a double-solid line on DUI continuedd from Page 1 ,Vickers, who graduated from '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 ,of yQur life." ,"' Laura's family said they were 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 didn't have to come and visit on came to a rest A rear-view mir- 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. NURSE continued from Page 1 "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 recruited nurses to work as vol- ARREST continued from Page 1. intent to sell. Bond was set at $62,000.

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.

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.

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.

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 sPoBce ROT Bushnell honors Lane Purcell| Wednesday, Feb. 2 Kenyetta Davis, 23, Oxford, was arrested for violation of probation.

Purcell was a prominent fig- .ure in Sumter County and well liked by many. The council niet to consider ways of honoring Purcell by recognizing him pub- licly Several ideas were consid- ered. A suggestion was made to change Noble Avenue to Lane Purcell Memorial Avenue, but 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 I, Clifford Wynns, who lives on Noble Avenue, told Bushnell City Ci something definitely needed to be done to honor Lane Purcell, bt should be renamed. name of Noble Avenue is not he shouldn't just be remem- one of them. bered at a cemetery by mourn- Since Purcell Funeral Home ing people, but rather by many was the people in a first in common Sumter place in Count y, The suggestion was made town. m a n y to dedicate Bushnell Public The idea thought it of a memo- would be Library to Lane Purcell. rial plaque appropri- or gazebo ate to in town either was dis- rename the Evergreen cussed, but the people there Cemetery on Noble Avenue or seemed to want something that have some kind of dedication would have more of an impact there, but others disagreed.

"I don't think they would forget if we named th* library," he said. "More people are going to go there than a gazebo or a ceme- tery," said Councilman Dale Barnes. Swain made a motion to dedi- cate the library to Lane Purcele. It was supported by other council members. areas such as industrial and requiring separation between individual adult businesses, he said. Some, described as "touch- ing" types of businesses, should probably be banned outright, according to Kelly. Those include massage par- lors, body painting business- es, nude photo studios, and lingerie modeling. "Victoria's Secret never thought about this kind of lin- gerie," Kelly said. Those businesses don't haye quite as much "first amend- ment protection" in the feder- al courts as those selling videos, books and novelties. The county can do more than just regulate location, he said. The "manner" of the business can also be regulat- * ed for example, store layouiit, lighting, barring closed video viewing booths. ": As for the existing Xmart, it would be "very hard to put out of business," Kelly said. Btit, its operation could possibly regulated to some degree. While a few residents were on hand and voiced their st4- port for the board, Zoning Adjustment Board member Richard Cole raised the issfie of signs for such businesses, asking if they could be reg - lated, He noted that there are a number of them alo0g Interstate 75 and that they ale "offensive." . According to Thornton, "t e short answer is no, you caA't do anything about that."

Then, he can draft a "bare bonds ordinance and to over it wii Thornton and county land attorney Terry Neal. "Then, you can get moie public input," Kelly said. t "I think the board wants ;tp be as strict as we can bol" Thornton said.. , He also suggested that t board in early March set the two required public hearings for a proposed ordinance.

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. MOST FOOT PROBLEMS CAN BE CORRECTED! CEN'IRAL LUKRIA FOOT CARE, PIA. Now in 212 S. * * * * * * * &... -4.

FEBRUARY 10, 2005 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. The announce- ment was made by Ed McCarrick, worldwide publish- er of Time Magazine and Michael A Parnell, vice president, original equipment sales, North American Tire, the Cindy Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) conven- tion in New Orleans. Clark and other award win- ners were honored at the opening business meeting of this year's convention, attend- ed by more than 25,000 indi- viduals involved in the auto- mobile industry. The Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award is the automobile indus- try's most presti- S gious and highly S coveted award for car dealers. TMQDA recipients are .* among the nation's most successful auto dealers. However, Clark they must also demonstrate a long- standing commitment to effective community service. Clark is one of only 65 auto- mobile dealers, from more than 19,500 nationwide, nomi- nated for the 36th annual award. The award is spon- scored by Time Magazine in association with Goodyear, and in cooperation with NADA. Clark grew up in the auto- motive industry, working after school in the main office of Cecil Clark Chevrolet, the dealership founded by her parents, Cecil and Jackie Clark She began working full- time at the dealership in 1976, with comprehensive training in each specialized depart- ment. In 1996, she founded Cindy Brooker Chevrolet, now known a's Cindy Chevrolet. She is currently in the process of building a new facility for the dealership within a half- mile of its present location. The Chamber of Commerce named Cindy Chevrolet Sumter County Business of the Year in 2000. 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. Keep my green tea warm, and I will talk to you next week Send questions and com- ments to "Senior Advocate," 1624 N.

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.

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. Left to Right: Billy Vernon, Nordic Pawn and Sport; Phil Maxwell, First Place winner of this year's Big Buck contest; and Michael Winter, Community National Bank of Pasco County. 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 Henry lever-action rifle, conm plete with gold inlay and walnut stock Lori Noland, who placed sec.' ond in this year's Big Buck , contest sponsored by Community National Bank of-" Pasco County, and her trophy, deer.

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 ,to set up a corporation 30 years ago and I've been involved ever since," he said.

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.

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.
