spurred school personnel to
contact 911 Monday after-
noon, according to Sumter
sheriff's Lt Bobby Caruthers.
White, 47, was found in his
bedroom Monday afternoon,
dead of an apparent self-
inflicted gunshot wound.
Caruthers declined addi-
tional comment about the
message but said it raised
concerns in school personnel
,,and led them to contact
authorities.
Caruthers. said the coroner
did concur that the death was
a suicide. An autopsy is being


conducted.

The items include a burn

Reeser said authorities are

If White was guilty of any-

Caruthers.

White's car was there, but no
one answered the door, so the
staff member called 911.

used was a handgun.

Schools Rick Shirley's voice
was heavy Tuesday afternoon,

from pointing out that by noon
on Tuesday, investigators


were still indicating that no
criminal wrongdoing had
been identified at that time.

A Monday morning fire
damaged a Wildwood home
at 802 Peters Street
The blaze apparently
started in the wall behind
the kitchen stove, according
to fire department reports.
Only one of the three peo-
ple who live at the resi-
dence, Rosetta McGill, was
home and was able to
escape the blaze uninjured.
Sumter County
Fire/Rescue, Station 31
responded quickly, but was
delayed, having to take a
more circuitous route to the
scene because of a train
crossing the roadway
Even withth he delay, the
firefighters were able to
quickly knock down the fire,
minimizing damage to the
structure.


While his fellow inmates
were walking one way into a
dormitory at the Sumter
County Detention Center in
Bushnell, inmate Timothy
Douglas decided to go the
other way, according to sher-
iff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers.
Douglas, 34, of Bushnell,
escaped from the jail about
1:20 p.m. on Friday without
notice by law enforcement
officers.,
"It all happened very
quickly," Caruthers said.


Homeowner Calvin
McGill, who arrived shortly
after the fire was knocked
down, indicated that a train
blocked the roadway for
what seemed to be "a very
long time" and that the train
had delayed him from arriv-
ing (at home) from work.
'"After the train went by, I
came down the street and I
saw all the fire trucks and
then realized that they were
at.my house," he said.
No one was injured dur-
ing the fire and McGill said
that they have homeowners
insurance.
"I don't know exactly how
this works, but thankfully no
one was hurt," stated McGill.

he estimated to be in the hun-

City Attorney Jerri Blair
said creating a tax for police
services would be illegal, but
suggested trying to add a user
fee to utility accounts, which
would be more fair because
about half of the city resi-

substantial amount of
Sumter County residents
are anxiously awaiting the
results of an inquiry by the state
attorney's office.
State Attorney Brad
King.launched the probe
last summer after he
received stacks of county
documents and informa- .
tion from county resi-
dents who made allega-
tions of wrongdoing by
some of the members of
the County Commission
and some of its staff
members. BC
King was provided REICI
with information about a .
controversial landfill
planned near Center Hill, a ques-
tionable road in Coleman, cellular
phone bills from county commis-
sioners paid telephone plans and
numerous other materials .
There is no doubt that weeding
through this information has been
difficult and time consuming.
With such a variety of informa-
tion coming from many different
sources, it is understandable that
this probe is taking time.
Our hope is that the issues are
brought to light soon by the state
attorney's office.
While investigators aren't pro-
viding information about the alle-
gations, it does appear that the
probe will be coming to some sort
of resolution in the near future.
This whole matter is really a
reflection of the loss of confidence
that county residents had in some

of their county leaders last year.
In particular, some residents
viewed former commissioners
Tiny Rutter, Benny Strickland and
Robin Cox with very
-e-- skeptical eyes. Both
Rutter and Strickland
did not seek reelection
last year and Cox was
defeated when he sought
another term in office.
Probably the biggest
4' spark to launch local
concerns was the three
commissioners voting to
support a proposed
OB landfill near Center Hill.
HMAN But their all-to-often 3-
...." to-2 split votes on other
controversial issues only
intensified local concerns.
No matter what the outcome of
this probe, there is a positive side.
Sumter County residents have
shown that they are concerned
about their local government and
concerned about the actions of
their elected officials.
Sometimes that can be over-
looked when so few people attend
County Commission meetings or
when so few seem to involve them-
selves in local issues.
This probe sends a message to
elected officials that their con-
stituents don't give them carte
blanche control and that their
actions have consequences.
It shows that voters have high
expectations of their elected lead-
ers and that voters will act when
they have had enough.
Last year, they had enough.

Sumterville student government at work


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

banielle Beville, Allan
L nor and Danielle Shaw just
stopped out of high school
and into government stu-
debat government that is.
sThe trio will serve as the
spPkes group for students at
Lake Sumter Community
College. They're the student
government officers for the
S mterville campus.
'We focus on our campus
is ues as well as our college
issues," said Beville, who is
serving as president. Lenor is
vi e-president and Shaw is
se retary.
'We all felt like we wanted
to ,et involved more with our
sc ool," Beville said of their
reasons for pursuing the stu-


dent government slots.
Through government, "we
do community service," she
said, explaining that the cam-
pus hosts the annual Sumter
County Relay for Life
fundraiser for the American
Cancer Society. They'll also
have a team with participants
walking the relay.
Another community serv-
ice effort is their push to pro-
mote Lake Sumter at
Wildwood and South Sumter
high schools.
Each month they plan to
take a day and set up a table
at the high schools to let stu-
dents know about Lake
Sumter Community College
and the benefits it offers, "To
increase our student popula-
tion," she noted.
According to her, the bene-


fits at Lake Sumter include
smaller class sizes; its close
proximity for drive time and
for allowing students to work
and go to school.
"Saving money. That was
my big thing," Beville said.
The government officers,
freshmen, plan to hit the high
school campuses this week,
after planning some of their
service work ideas over last
semester.
She said they officially took
office this month, under advi-
sor Betsy Ruano.
Beville said it's important
that the community knows
"that we're there," and that
even with a small student
population, "someone is
there to speak for them."
"Our meetings are open to
the public and everyone's


welcome," Beville said. They
meet at 10:30 a.m. on
Wednesday in the
Sumterville campus confer-
ence room and are currently
looking for a treasurer, she
said.
For more information call
568-0001 or email
Future plans include fund-
ing a scholarship endowment
for students who are not eligi-
ble for any other grant or
scholarship.
The government body from
the Sumterville campus will
strive to, raise $500 of the
$3,000 the entire government
body is working for. If they're
successful, the college will
match those funds at $3,000
and the state will give anoth-
er matching $3,000, according
to Beville.

good time

AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Bushnell resident Darla
,Iuddleston and her family have
always had a birthday party for
family members in January, with
so many birthdays during that
time of year. But this year her
daughter. 25-year-old veterinari-
an technician and ULF student
Katie Harrell had an idea to host
a birthday party for her golden
retriever Kula. who turned one in
I January.
Huddleston and Harrell found
a recipe for liver cake (flour, eggs,
Scanned dog food, and pureed
liver and baked it up for the 16
dogs that attended.
; "The dogs had a ball,"
Huddleston said.
', In addition to the cake, the dogs
-had homemade biscuits and
treats, party favors, and games.
:They even wore party hats, swamn
.and played with Frisbees. "They
-were tired at the end of the day",
-Huddleston said.
Eight of the 16 dogs at the party
:have been rescued or adopted
.from shelters. Even with all of the
,excitement, none of them exhibit-
.ed any bad behavior or aggres-
sion. Huddleston said this just
shows why rescue dogs make
great pets. An advocate of rescue
'-nimals, Huddleston has taken in
dogs. horses, chickens, and bun-
hies.
She said at shelters, any breed.
"age, or size can be found and they
'make the best pets. "You can res-
,cue one and save it from being
destroyedd" she said.
.I. Instead of bringing presents to
-the birthday dog. Harrell asked
.that donations be made to a shel-
,ter affiliated with the veterinary
.office she works with in
Gainesville. Huddleston said they
.all want to do this again. There
,mray even be a wedding between
twvo of the dogs sometime in the
future.

Sign-up begins for


USDA Tree Program


Agricultural landowners in
need of financial relief for
trees, bushes, vines, and for-
est land damaged by natural
disasters that occurred
between Dec. 1, 2003, and
Dec. 31, 2004, have a new
option for help through the
USDA's Tree Assistance
Program (TAP), according to
FSA Sumter/Citrus County
Executive Director Laura
Langford.
Agriculture Secretary
Mike Johanns announced
that sign-up for the USDAs
Tree Assistance Program
(TAP) began Feb. 7, 2005.
Funding for TAP was author-
ized by the Military
Construction and Emergency
Hurricane Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2005
(2005 Appropriations Act),
and signed into law by
President Bush last October
"This legislation," .said
Johanns, "provides more
than $3 billion in relief to
farmers, ranchers, foresters
and other agricultural pro-
ducers who suffered damage
due to severe weather in
recent years." TAP is the first
of several programs to be
launched in 2005 to help pro-
ducers recover from natural
disasters that occurred in
2003 and 2004.
The sign-up period for
General TAP, TAP-Timber,
and TAP-Pecans will end
either on March 18, 2005, or
14 calendar days after the
Federal Register Notice is
published. Approved funding
for the TAP programs
includes:
Funding for General
TAP, which is available for
eligible orchardists.
Funding for rehabilita-
tion and related costs for
pecan trees destroyed or
damaged as a result of tropi-
cal storms, hurricanes, and
related events that were
located in a Presidential-dis-
aster declared county.
1 Funding for forest timber
owners for replanting.
Owners of eligible trees,


bushes and vines from which
an annual crop is produced
for commercial purposes;
eligible forest land owners
who produce crops of timber
for commercial purposes;

"How do I decide which funeral
home to call when the time comes?"

Aside from the requirement that all funeral homes be
licensed by the state, some basic questions you might ask
when selecting a funeral home include: Are they flexible
enough to handle your specific needs? Are decisions made
locally or from an out-of-toumwn corporate ,office? Are they
full service? Do they sub-contract services such as
cremation or do they provide these options on-site?
Everyone has different priorities and questions about
funeral pre-planning. We invite your questions and we
will respect your priorities. Please call us for a- no cost, no
obligation, no pressure appointment to get the facts on
how you can benefit from funeral pre-planning.

Plan today for peace of mind tomorrow!

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

Device may increase gas mileage by 22%


Boston National Fuelsaver
Corp. has developed a low
cost automoti\ e 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 bums 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 show s
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."

The power of women in love


S/ t

if/iWSS #5


few weeks ago, I
attended a women's
night of worship at my
church.
We sang, we prayed. A few
women spoke. Afterward we
hung out and ate some
incredible food.
Toward the end of the wor-

Jimmy Hicks and the Voices of Integrity performed at a free concert for the Black Heritage
Festival. The event was held. at Lincoln Park on Saturday and sponsored by Faith and Action
Community Outreach, Inc.

Celebrating black heritage


AMANDA Mims
Staff Writer

Faith and Action Community
Outreach, Inc. sponsored its
first black heritage festival on
Saturday at Lincoln Park in
Bushnell. The casual gather-
ing was a Christian event with
a free gospel concert, food,
games, and prizes.
West Palm Beach recording
artists Jimmy Hicks and the
Voices of Integrity are nation-
ally known in the gospel genre.
On Saturday they played songs
like "Crossroads" and
"Blessed Like That" from their
new CD.
While music seemed to be
the highlight of the day, there
were also kids' games and raf-
fles, barbeque rib sandwiches
and chicken 'n rice.
The outreach group has only
been in existence for about
eight months, but they have big
plans for Sumter County. Some
of these plans include a pro-
gram they're working on to
help at-risk women and preg-
nant teens called Women of
Excellence and a program to,
benefit the elderly in the area.
"Our goal is to bring unity to
the community," said Waylene
Natteal, one of the founders of
the group.
"We want to dare a person to
dream and achieve their
dream," she said.
Saturday concluded Faith


The gospel group Jimmy Hicks and the Voices of Integrity per-
formed songs including "Blessed Like That" and "Crossroads"
from their new album last weekend in Bushnell.


and Action Community
Outreach, Inc.'s Black
Heritage Week at Lincoln
Park. Earlier in the week,
there was a tent revival where
several pastors from around
the county came and
preached. Natteal said tent
revivals are a good way to
reach new people' without
intimidating them. "People
feel more comfortable outside
than inside," she said.
There were about 50 people
who came to the revival and
150 at the festival. While
Natteal was a little bit disap-


pointed with the numbers,
she's not discouraged. The
organization has planned
much more in the near future,
including, a presence at the
county fair and a scholarship
program.
Many individuals and local
businesses donated to the.
event. They include about 10
different churches from
around the county, Cindy
Brooker Chevrolet, County
Commissioner Randy Mask,
SECO, Special Touch Salon,
Central Packing, Winn-Dixie,
Wal-Mart, and others.


dream big for a
moment. She told
us to imagine what
our community
would look like if
women "got it" if
women truly
grasped both the
concept and the
experience of the
gospel, of being
loved and forgiven
and set free in
Christ.
"What kind of an
impact would that
have?" she asked.


NAB
KENI


She left the question open-
ended and unanswered,
allowing us to explore it in
our imaginations. To dream
big and grand.
She read the prayer from
the Bible writer Paul to the
first-century church in
Ephesus (which is now in
eastern Turkey) and prayed
it for us. It's found in
Ephesians 3:14-19.
Paul's prayer for the
Ephesians, which was
Angel's prayer for us, was
that believers in Christ
would be strengthened by
God's Spirit a deep inner
strength, a strong conviction
and an unshakable sense of
who and whose they were.
Not wishy-washy or easily
swayed. Not doubting or fear-
ful, but strong.
Next, Paul (and Angel)
prayed that we who are God's
people would know, really
know, Christ's love. Paul uses
phrases like "deeply rooted"
and "far surpasses." His


words have the connotation
of a love that's great and
extravagant, amazingly won-
derful and deeply personal.
He urges believers to test this
love to see if they can meas-
ure its height and width and
depth and breadth, knowing
that they can't because it's
immeasurable.
Angel had asked us, "What
would our community look
like if women 'got it?'" Not,
just non-Christian
w women coming
into a new faith in
Christ, but long-
established believ-
ers, long-time
church ladies.
Sn What would our
.. community look
like if that hap-
pened?
I've been think-
ing about that and
NCY here's what I think
NEDY would happen:
If women knew
that their sins
were forgiven, if women
knew that in Christ they
stood before the Father
accepted and acceptable, if
women knew that they could
rest underneath the Father's
smile...
If women knew that,
though they are deeply
flawed they are dearly loved,
they would go home and love
their husbands. Not just put-
ting dinner on the table and
washing dirty socks with grit-
ted teeth or an expectation of
something in return kind of
love, but love from a deep
wellspring, like a fountain
overflowing. With such a
love, they would stop bicker-
ing about the trash not being
taken out. They wouldn't
rush to the phone to com-
plain about their husbands to
their girlfriends. They
wouldn't yell and snipe and
belittle their husbands in
Wal-Mart; they wouldn't flirt
with other men, dream of
greener pastures.


They would love their hus-
bands, honor and respect
and accept them.
When that starts happen-
ing, when women are loving
their husbands consistently,
then their husbands would
want to love them back Men
would feel that home is a safe
place and that their wives
were allies and friends.
There would be a whole lot of
kissing going on, maybe even
some dancing in the kitchen.
Problems would be faced
together. The "twos" all over
this community will be
"ones," just as God intended.
There would be peace in
the homes, which would spill
out into the schools and the
workplaces.
The saying "If Mama ain't
happy, ain't nobody happy"
would work in reverse. Now
because Mama's happy,
Daddy's happy and the kids
are happy. Daddy goes to
work happy and does his job
well because it's all for Mama
back at home.
Can you see it? Can you see
that happening?
I realize these thoughts are
idealistic and simplistic and
Pollyanna-ish, but is that
such a bad thing? Why
shouldn't we aim high and
dare to dream and imagine
what God could do?
What would our communi-
ty look like if women "got it?"
It's definitely worth pray-
ing for. And I do. I pray it for
you.

Summer County should be
receiving its first installment
payment from the state for
the. recently enacted county
tourist tax.
NVoters approved the tax last
y4r to help promote tourism
ir-Sumter County. It became
elective on Jan.,1.
'During the Chamber of
Commerce monthly meeting
lait week, Assistant County
Administrator Sandra
Hewell told Chamber mem-
bers the county will receive
afiput $81,000 this year from
tlie newly imposed tax. The
county should receive the
first portion of the money in
MV4rch, she said.
'Because the tax follows the
co nty's fiscal year, which
started Oct. 1. 2004 and ends
SPLt. 30, 2005, the first year
revenue will not be as great


financial ability to open a
store," Ray said. "There are a
lot of small businesses that
may not be able to make it on
their own, but would work in
this type of setting."
The mall will feature 25
indoor booth slots that are 10
feet by 12 feet, he said.
Booth renters will furnish
the booths 'with their wares
and then clerks in the mall
will sell the items to the pub-
lic, he said. That way, sellers
will not have to man the
booths.
"We'll take care of the sales
,tax and collecting the money
and then give the sellers
checks for sold items," he
said. "It makes it easy for
them."
Ray said the mall is perfect
for western ware, kitchen sup-
plies, fishing and tackle sup-
plies and antiques to name a
few.
Booth spaces will cost $100
a month with the mall charg-
ing a 20 percent commission


on sales. Sellers will be noti-
fied by email when items are
sold, he said.
Booths are not just for those
seeking to start small busi-
nesses, he said. Booths can
also be purchased to sell
items that are "a little more
upscale than thrift stores."
For people who don't need
an entire booth, the mini mall
will also operate a consign-
ment shop where people can
pay a commission to have
their items sold.
Rental spaces will also be
erected outside the building
for one or two-day yard sales,
he said.
The facility will be open for
business on Fridays,
Saturday and Mondays dur-
ing day and early evening
hours.
The mini mall is expected
to open in March, Ray said.
For more information about
the mini mall or renting a
booth, contact Billy or Debbie
Ray at Body Works, 793-4760.


Billy Ray stands near a portion of the Family Fun Center in Bushnell that is being remodeled
for a mini mall. The mall will offer 25 booth spaces of new and "upscale" used items. The mall
will open in March.

Kids Day Dade Park $3,000,


Dade Battle Memorial -

While the county adminis-

collected by the state
Department of Revenue,
Howell said.
Howell said she will be pre-
senting a recommendation to
the Tourism Development
Council that the funds be
administered by the
Chamber of Commerce.
Last year, in a 3-to-2 vote,,
county commissioners
agreed to let the voters
decide if the tax should be
implemented.
The 11-member local
Tourism Development
Council approves projects
funded by the tax. County
Commissioner Joey Chandler
is chairman of the group.


The man behind

Bushnell McDonald's


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

McDonald's franchise
owner J.C. Prado says the
secret to his success is
family. 'A lot of peo-
ple say don't go into
business with your .
family, but I've always
thought the opposite,"
he said.
In accord with that
philosophy, Prado
works closely with his
brother-in-law, who is J.C.
his director of opera-
tions, his wife Jenifer,
and other family members.
Another of his brothers-in-law
is Albert Leon, who manages


the Bushnell McDonald's.
A certified public account-
ant by trade, Prado started
buying businesses just a few
years after graduating from
the University of
South Florida in 1980.
He worked as an
Sa accountant for several
years and retains his
license, but since the
early 1990s, he's been
in the restaurant busi-
^j ness full-time and now
owns five McDonald's
and has 300 employ-
Prado ees working for him.

Animal control conducts 'round-ups'


Students from Cindy Spell's art class at South Sumter High
School took part in the Federal Correction Complex Coleman
Native American Art competition. They ranked as follows:
Franuel Jaimes and Stacy Comstock tied for second place,
Jessica Adams third place and Julie Harrison third place
(shown back row, left to right); Natasha Townsend fifth place
and Adam Wayte fourth place (kneeling, left to right).

Sarah Hatcher was named September Artist of the Month for
Cindy Spell's art class at South Sumter High School.


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Croom residents might
have noticed a few less stray
dogs running around their
neighborhoods lately That's
because Sumter County
Animal Control has started
conducting "round-ups" dur-
ing which they patrol a par-
ticular area and look for dogs
running free and check for
both county ID and rabies
tags;
"This is some-
thing we've looked The fi
at over the years," second
said John Hezlep
who took the posi- is $55
tion of animal con- $100 fo
trol supervisor last offer
September. He said
that in past years,
animal control has.
gotten a "bad
name" but he wants to
change that "We're trying to
turn the whole look around,"
he said. "We're starting with
a new image."
Hezlep said that his cur-
rent staff is friendly and
helpful, and folks seem to be
receptive to them.
By law, all dogs four
months and older must be
licensed with rabies shots
and not allowed to run free.
Last Thursday, animal con-
trol officers gave 73 citations
to owners whose animals had


no rabies shots and 74 for not
having county tags. Twelve
dogs were impounded that
afternoon.
He said the reason for pick-
ing up the animals is for safe-
ty. Stray animals can be dan-
gerous to children getting on
and off school buses, joggers,
and can cause traffic acci-
dents. Rabies tags protect the
animals as well as people, he
said.
The two main benefits to
having county tags,
Hezlep said, .are
that it brings in rev-
te for a enue for the county
offense and that it helps to
enforce the rabies
and vaccine require-
r third ment. An owner
uses. has to provide
proof of the ani-
mal's rabies vacci-
nation before a
license can be pur-
chased.
First offenses cost owners
$20 each per animal. If an
animal is running loose, not
vaccinated for rabies and has
no county tag, the owner
would have to pay $60 in
fines. The fine for a second
offense is $55 and $100 for
third offenses. In order for an
owner to pick up an
impounded dog, they must
first pay the fines, have a vet-
erinarian come to animal
control and vaccinate the pet,
and purchase a county tag.


Josh Wilson, Becky Akins, John Hezlep and Carol Treftz
(shown standing, left to right) and Frank Taberner and Eva
Coffell (shown seated, left to right) make up the staff at Sumter
County Animal Control.


Hezlep said that all veteri-
narians in Sumter sell county
tags, and they cost $10 for
dogs that aren't spayed or
neutered and $5 for those
that are.
The kennel there is full "up
to capacity almost daily," he
said. Hezlep is looking ahead
and it's his hope that more
money will be allotted to his
department in the county's
budget next year so they can
get an addition to the kennel


and add to the staff. He said
there's a cat problem in the
county, but he doesn't have
the manpower at this time to
remedy it
Besides Hezlep, there are
currently two road officers,
two kennel workers, and a
receptionist in the depart-
ment.
At least one more road offi-
cer with a truck and protec-
tive equipment will be need-
ed, he said.

Cam ellias add color to the garden


Camellias make a wonder-
ful small tree that blooms
from December through.
March. Well 6ver 2,000 vari-
eties and cultivars are regis-
tered. The climatic condition
of north and central Florida
are well suited for many vari-
eties of the winter flowering
plant known as Camellia.-
,Meeting the basic cultural
requirements of the plant will
help it to withstand adverse
Conditionss. .
I They do best in partial'
[shade with good water
drainage. Soils high in organ-
ic matter are preferred and a
slightly acid soil is well
received.
Dense shade may result in
sparse foliage and poor flow-
ering, while too much sun may
cause bleached looking


leaves, but may yield more
flowers than plants located in
the shade.
December through March is
best for transplanting. Plants
are flowering at this time, so
shopping for a new color is
made easier.
Frequent inspection of the
plants will help control pests.
Check the underside of the
leaves for scale and spider
mites. Scale appears as
brown, gray or white spots you
can wash off with a garden
hose or scrape off with your
fingers. Spider mites will have
the top of the leaves display-
ing a rusty or reddish speck-
ling of the green surface.
Aphids injure Camellias by
sucking juices from young
leaves. The leaves will curl
and be distorted. Distorted


flowers are most likely caused
by thrips that feed on the flow-
ers.
Washing with insecticidal
soap would be best for the
environment (Apply in the
evening and wash off any soap
residue before sunup). If that
does not work, Malathian with
Volk Oil can be used. As with
all chemicals, be sure to fol-
low label directions. More is
not better, it could kill.
Leaf spots are common and,
they'do very little -damage. If
leave spot does become a;
problem, then use Daconil or
Natural Cooper for control.
Again follow label direction.
Camellias are native to the
Orient They have been a part
of southern landscapes for
over 200 years since their
introduction into the U.S.


near Charleston, SC in 1786.
Plant clinics are held at the
extension office in Sumter
County 793-2728 on
Thursday, Marion County

Editor's Note: The following
news release was submitted by
South Sumter Middle School.
Nestled among the peaceful
lanes of Webster and the
rolling, oak strewn pastures of
Sumter County is an oasis of
family oriented education.
Welcome to the halls of South
Sumter Middle School (aka'
Raider Country!) We've got a
motto here that reaches far
deeper than the simplicity of
its words: "We're all in this
together!"
It's a phrase that conveys a
familiarity among the teach-
ers, students, parents, admin-
istrators, and support staff
who contribute to preparing
the next generation. When
lawmakers decided to make
"No. Child Left Behiid' a
standard of educational phi-
losophy for a new millenni-


um, South Sumter Middle
School was already well
acquainted with the spirit of
the legislation.
Our curriculum is rooted in
solid academic principles and
includes numerous extra-cur-
ricular activities such as com-
petitive team sports, student
council, social and civic clubs,
Future Farmers of America,
theater, survival camp, music,
art, holiday dances, and after-
school tutoring. The Parent-
Teacher Organization (PTO)
meetings are grand, and usu-
ally result in standing-room-
only events.
SSMS is a hub of goals and a
celebration of achievement A
student's successes, joys, and
even burdens are shared in
this family.:
They are praised for their
achievements in all aspects of
their academic careers.

As important as it is to put your money to work, when you
do it can really matter.
The sooner you visit Edward Jones to open or fund
your IRA, the more time your money has for potential
growth. By contributing the full amount now ($3,000 for
2004 and $4,000 for 2005), your money has the opportunity
to grow even faster for retirement. You may even be. eligible
to make catch-up contributions. But there's no time to waste.
To see why it makes sense to save for retirement with
Edward Jones before April 15th, call today.

Working a bow shoot with the


PSE truck


A few days ago I had the
pleasure of going to
Gainesville and taking
part in the annual ASA
archery shoot This is a huge
event and the best bow shoot-
ers from all the
country show up ..
for the tourna-
ment Nope folks, S
you can bet I did
not do any fancy -
bow shooting W
while I was there -
but I sure saw a
bunch of top-
notch men,
women and kids,
who were experts,
do some fine JAMIE A
shooting. Outdoor
Actually, I was
at the shoot to
help the folks from PSE
(Precision Shooting
Equipment, Inc) Archery
Company promote their line
of fine archery products. The
PSE archery company is locat-
ed in Tucson and is the biggest
manufacture of bows in the
country.
For some years now, I have
been affiliated with PSE as an
active member of their pro
staff. I don't really know all
that much about the high tech-
nology that is constantly
changing almost daily with
bows and other archery
equipment but ever since I
was a small boy I have always
had a bow of some kind or
another and to this very day
and I still love to shoot and
hunt with a bow and as a rule
I try to shoot a few arrows
every day.
Mainly what I do as. a PSE
pro staff member is help out


U








At
r"


by promoting PSE bows and
equipment while attending
hunting shows and conducting
seminars on deer, elk and
turkey hunting around the
state as well as writing about
PSE bows from time
-- to time about how
they perform.
Anyway the PSE
company and home
office is located in
Tucson where they
have two great big
semi-trucks all paint-
ed up with their
logos and these two
trucks are all over
the country year
DAMS round promoting
Writer PSE bows and other
,, archery equipment
carried in the PSE
line.
One of the PSE trucks is
painted bright red with the
PSE logos emblazoned on it
and the other truck is white
and also has the PSE logos.
As a rule the red PSE truck
takes care of the archery
shows and dealers on the
western side of the country
and the white truck takes care
of the eastern part of the
nation.
I have never had the pleas-
ure to help out with the red
truck but I am here to tell you
folks that the white PSE truck
is operated by two of the
friendliest folks you could
ever want to meet and be
around. Gary and Naomi
Smith who both work for PSE
are from Blanchard,
Oklahoma and the White PSE
Truck is their home away
from home. Gary and Naomi
are truly ambassadors for not


only PSE archery but for the
whole archery industry as
they travel around the country
spreading good will and pro-
moting archery.
Gary drives the truck and he
and Naomi have spacious liv-
ing quarters in the rear por-
tion of the big Kenworth trac-
tor that pulls the huge semi
trailer which is loaded with a
complete display of PSE bows
and accessories.
When the truck is parked at
an archery show or bow shop
it quickly becomes a Mecca for
folks who are into archery
regardless of what kind of bow
they might shoot. Every
archer or bow hunter who has
been into shooting a bow for
any time at all has heard of the
two big PSE trucks and most
will stop by and visit with Gary
and Naomi and check the new
bows and other archery
equipment on display when
the truck come to town nearby.
The trailer is well equipped
with a complete archery shop
and Gary can pretty much
make any repairs or fine tune
a PSE bow that a customer is
shooting or set up a new bow
bought while visiting the
truck
I had just got a new PSE
Primos STL bow with duel
NRG Hybrid cams the day
before the shoot in Gainesville
was to take place so while I
was helping out at the shoot I
got Gary to tune my new bow
and completely rig it out with
sights, arrow rest and quiver
and get it ready to shoot.
The truck has a full line of
PSE bows and all the neces-
sary equipment needed to out-
fit a new bow and time per-


Gary and Naomi operators of the PSE truck visiting with a potential customer.


emitting Gary will get a new
PSE bow all set up for a cus-
tomer who purchases a bow.
Actually the trailer is an
engineering marvel and I was
surprised at the all the room
in the trailer and how much
equipment was displayed and
stored in it..
Rick Stinson a long time
friend of mine from
Jacksonville is the Regional
Sales Manager for the PSE
and always shows up when
the truck rolls into to town. As
a rule Rick has a bunch of pro
staffers from Florida on hand


to help out and answer ques-
tion for potential bow buyers
as well as help sell a few bows
to boot. Several of the pro staff
members are very good at
shooting a bow and competed
in the tournament.
One of the PSE pro staffers
who took part in the bow
shooting was Diane Watson
who by the way is one of the
top women archers in the
country.
Diane shot in the women's
division and while I don't
know what Diane's final score
was you can bet it at or near


the top. Folks I have seen
Diane shoot numerous times
and this lady can shoot a bow.
Anyway I had a great time at
the Gainesville annual ASA
tournament and a lot of fun
hanging out with Gary, Naomi
and Rick and the other PSE
pro staffers not to mention all
the fine folks who I met at the
shoot some of them new and
many others old friends I have
known for years. It was a fine
weekend and for once in sev-
eral years while the shoot was
going on the weather turned
out to be good.

Sam Harris Memorial Park gets


facelift


ROBBIN EoDINS
Times Correspondent

Sumter County and City of
Webster have combined
efforts to improve the ball
fields at Sam Harris
Memorial Park
The county agreed to shoot
elevations, level clay and get
the two softball fields ready
,for season, check measure-
,merits and set all bases on all
.four fields.
'fthe City of Webster agreed
to /a number of tasks that
include having the major field
ready by March, pay for all the
.clay to be used on the fields,
purchase new bases as need-
ed, get SECO/and or Progress
Energy to evaluate the light-
ing and replace any bulbs if
necessary.
Webster has also applied for
some grants that could benefit
the ball fields and will be
applying for a grant that could
help build a soccer field in the


near future.
County Parks and
Recreation Manager Lita
Hart said, "We are glad to
work with the cities, and will
continue to work with them as
needed."
There had been hopes of
some renovations of the major
field but after getting an esti-
mate of approximately
$18,000 for moving the lights,
the city opted to put the field
back to the original layout.
County employees put in an
estimated 65 hours so far in
getting the fields ready for
baseball/softball season.
The park has been mowed,
the T-ball field is completed
and last Saturday workers
began laying sod for the ball
fields.
City of Webster and county
managers are still working on
addressing future issues as to
who would be responsible for
further upkeep of the park
and how it will be maintained
during the off season.

ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent

Board member Tim Knight
announced last Saturday that
the new Dixie Youth Baseball

March 12 with pictures begin-
ning at 8:30 a.m. with special
festivities planned for noon.
Knight thanks the com-

Eighty-six-year-old baseball hall of famer Monte Irvin visits ACS alternative School in Bushnell last Thursday, part of the
school's effort to teach black history. He spoke to the students there and autographed photos afterward.


'Baseball honoree visits local school


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

As part of Black History
Month, baseball hall-of-fame
member Monte Irvin came to
speak to students on Thursday
at Sumter County ACS, an
alternative school for students
with behavioral problems.
They've been spending the
month of February learning
,about American figures in
black history, writing essays,
and doing projects. They cele-
brated the dafywith "a taste of
soul," in which staff and facul-
ty bring homemade old-fash-
ioPned food to the students.
Irvin came and had lunch
with them before he spoke.


Now two weeks shy of his
86th birthday, Irvin played
baseball in both the Negro
leagues and major leagues
with the likes of Willie Mays,
Joe DiMaggio, Satchel Paige,
and Hank Aaron.
He entertained the students
with anecdotes from his past
and added a few words of
advice in his talk as well.
Perhaps what drew the
most laughter was Irvin's
story about when he played
baseball with Fidel Castro.
When he was playing in Cuba
he met young Castro, who
wanted to be a pitcher, but
Irvin described him as "not
that good."
"If we would have known


Fidel Castro wanted to be a
dictator, we'd have made an
umpire out of him," he said.
They asked him to tell about
what it was like playing in the
Negro leagues and what he
liked about his life in base-
ball. I
"Ifyou're a good player, you
can play in any league or any
era," he said. "To understand
the future, you have to know
what happened in the past."
"obu have to keep going and
make it better for those who
come after us," he said.
"That's what makes our coun-
try great."
Some were also curious
about Irvin's other athletic
accomplishments. He said he


held the state high school
record in New Jersey for
throwing the javelin for about
35 years and that in his teens
he could run the 100-meter
dash in 10 seconds."
"Now it takes me 10 seconds
to think about it," he said
laughing.
in a more serious tone he
said, "You're blessed for being
young, and for your ability to
correct mistakes."
After talking to the students,
Irvin stayed and signed auto-
graphs for them.
They formed long lines in
front of him, smiling and obvi-
ously impressed. "I like to
meet young people and moti-
vate them," he said.
