Landfill options concern workers


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County Commis-
sioners have set a March 17
workshop to consider propos-
als for solid waste disposal.
Commissioners announced
the meeting shortly after
approving County Attorney
Randall Thornton's recom-


mendation to extend an ongo-
ing study on solid waste to get
information about "flow con-
trol," possibly including
garbage assessments.
The commission actions
were apparently being closely
watched by an audience
packed with concerned courn-
ty solid waste workers.
According to some of the
comments during the meeting,


the group was worried that
commission adoption of one
of the proposals could result
in the closing of the county's
composting and recycling cen-
ter at Lake Panasoffkee.
Commissioners also lis-
tened as county residents
expressed their concerns
about the composting plant
and touted it as an environ-
mentally responsible way to


dispose of the county's
garbage.
Early last fall, the commis-
sion -with three former board
members talked about flow
control after they were told by
consultant Mitch Kessler that
it would enable them to more
effectively manage solid
waste disposal.
At the time, he explained
that the ordinances, assess-


ments or other measures were
needed to insure that a county
facility would have a suffi-
cient voluine of solid waste to
warrant the investment need-
ed to make it cost effective.
But, that board wasn't ready
to embrace those options. .
Tuesday, some board mem-
bers were at least willing to
raise the possibility.
"You were told that you


need flow control to get the
best deal," Thornton told the
board, noting that it might
have had something to do with
the board only getting propos-
als from private solid waste
companies.
"Without flow control, there
is little incentive for the pri-

seeks help finding


dog torturer


The remains of the animal were

discovered last week in Webster


County Commissioner Randy Mask, assisted by inmate Edric Jones, helped out on Saturday at the CATS cleanup in
Webster. Volunteers stayed busy as many people took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of scrap metal, unwanted con-
struction materials, tires, and other large items. More volunteers are needed for the cleanup next month in Sumterville. -

The Humane Society/SPCA
of Sumter County is offering a
reward in connection with the
torture and destruction of a
dog in Webster.
The remains of the animal
were discovered last week on
the side of County Road 729,
according to Sheri Evans, cru-
elty investigator for the
Humane Society.
Evans was traveling with an
animal control officer when
she noticed something beside
the road.
"I was hoping that it wasn't
what I thought it-was," Evans


said. "It was awful. It was one
of the worst and most blatant
acts of cruelty I've ever seen."
Evans said the dog had
apparently been tied with its
legs above its head and then
set on fire. A bullet hole was
evident above the animal's
eye.
Because the animal'was so
badly burned, it's difficult to
determine exactly what type
of dog it is, Evans said.
It appears to be about medi-
um size, about 30 pounds, with
orange and white markings on
its face.
"This was no accident,"

Principal's suicide shocks many in community


BRENDA'i LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Two hours before Wildwood
Principal Timn White conmmit-
ted suicide, he was in a meet-
ing with Sumter School Supt.
Rick Shirley and learned a
local television news anchor-
man was waiting to see him.
Shirley said he noticed an
immediate change in White -
that he became more agitated.
By mid-afternoon. White had
gone to his Bushnell home


where he apparently commit-
ted suicide.
At the time of his death,
White was at the center of an
investigation involving a stu-
dent at the school, according
to WVildwood police Capt. E.W.
Reeser The report involved
"uncomfortable and possibly
inappropriate touching," of
the student, according to
Reeser.
Some who knew White are
steadfast in their support of
him denying any possibility


that the negative accusations
could be true.
Sumier School Supt. Rick
Shirley said the last time he
talked to investigators they
were still indicating that no
criminal wrongdoing had
been identified at the time.
It's been more than a week
since his death, and students.
co-workers and families sup-
porters of White, are still try-
ing to cope with it. While law

Tim White


Deputy's son killed


in motorcycle crash


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Staff and administrators at
the Sumter County Sheriff's
Office dealt with their own
tragedy this week when the
17-year-old son of veteran
Deputy Tim Nordle was killed
in a motorcycle crash.
Timothy Nordle Jr., died
instantly when a car struck
his 2004 Honda motorcycle on
U.S. 441 in Leesburg late
Saturday, according to Sumter
sheriff's Lt Bobby Caruthers.
According to a Leesburg
Police report, Nordle was
westbound on U.S. 441 in the
left lane. He was approaching
y the intersection of C.R. 449
when Joseph Menento, driv-
ing a 2005 GMC Envoy, was
headed eastbound and
entered the turn lane for C.R.
449.
Menento turned left into
the Nordle's path.
A release from Leesburg
police Capt Steve Rockefeller
notes that witnesses indicate
Nordle was traveling at exces-
sive speeds and may have
been performing a wheelie at
or near the time of the crash.
The collision is still under
investigation and the report
notes it's too early to deter-
; mine exactly what happened.


Timothy Nordle Jr.
Nordle was set to graduate
from Wildwood High School
this year
The senior Nordle said his
son was doing what he loved
most when he died riding a
motorcycle.
"He loved motorcycles,"
Caruthers said, adding the
younger Nordle raced dirt
bikes and worked at
Champions Honda of
Leesburg.
"He was very good on a
motorcycle," and got his love
of the bikes from his family,
according to Caruthers. "We
saw Timothy grow up with us.
We're a close family here at

Things to do in March


for Sumter gardeners


Lawns, this is the month
when one should fertilize the
lawn. For best results, apply
61bs. of 16-4-8 slow release
fertilizer per 1000 square
feet. This should be repeated
in September. If lawn is not
up to par by the end of May,
give it a dose of sewage
sludge, such as Milorganite
(16 pounds per 1000 square
feet).
All annuals, perennials,
shrubs, and young trees
should have plant food now.
A balanced fertilizer like 6-6-
6 or 8-8-8 can be used.
Azaleas, camellias, garde-
nias or other acid loving
plants need an Azalea
Special.
Annuals, (hopefully this
was the last frost that we
have to endure. The last frost
recorded in Sumter County
was March 15) for spring and
summer blooming should be
planted now, so that they
have time to develop a good
root system before the sum-
mer heat hits us.
Citrus trees can be planted'
now. Call or visit the Master
Gardeners office for the best
varieties to suit your needs.
Vegetables, all warm sea-
son crops should be planted
or seeded now. Fertilize with
a good quality 6-6-6 as need-
ed.
Mulches are beneficial to
all landscape plants except
Citrus trees and Hibiscus.
Mulches conserve water, cool
the soil for the roots, sup-
press weeds, and keep the

Evans said. "This was torture,
and this person's still out in

what this dog did, there's no
excuse for this."
Evans said she believes the
animal was tortured at a dif-
ferent location and thenits
carcass was discarded along

leaves and pine straw make
excellent mulch, especially
for azaleas and camellias.
Don't waste them.
Pruning and cleaning the
yard must be done now.
Prune all broad-leaved ever-
green shrubs for size and
shape. Leave the spring flow-
ering plants alone till they
have finished flowering.
Don't forget to prune off all
winter damage. Poinsettias
should be planted outside
now and cut back to about
four inches. The. cuttings can
be used to propagate new
plants. Light maintenance
pruning may be done, any
time of the year to keep
plants at desired heights and
shape.
Plant clinics are held at the
extension office in Sumter

answers to the questions that
were posed in the days before
his reported suicide, former
students and co-workers are
eager to talk about all the
good things that White did
during his time in the Sumter
County School system.
One former student has
written a eulogy in White's
honor that he hopes to share
with the public..Another was
sad to learn that his funeral
had already taken place and
there was no local service for
friends and former students.
The services were held last
Friday in Volusia County

it's not open to the public.

vate sector to invest," he said.
The additional bit of study
is needed to accurately pro-
vide the board with the fig-
ures, financial information
and other facts needed to
make a decision about the
county recycling facility,
Thornton said. But, with other
projects, the consultant would
not be able to get information
back to the board until at least
March 13.
Some of the commissioners
offered support for the con-
cept.

opening yet.
"They'll do a memorial serv-
ice' sometime this week Until
that's done, I do not even want
to comment on that," he said,
pointing out that there's a
need for a waiting or healing
time.
Typically teachers or
administrators under investi-
gation may be relocated to the
district office while the inves-
tigation takes place, but
Shirley said that "depends on
the circumstance or situa-
tion."
In White's case, Shirley said
the first they knew of any
issue was late in the week
They met with FDLE on
Thursday and Friday and
that's also the same time
investigators reported there
was no indication of any ille-
gal behavior.
On Monday, Shirley met
with White who v0ould have
been moved to the district
office. The FDLE planned to
question people at the school.
The planned move was "not
because there was any indica-
tion of any wrongdoing," but

Commission Chairman Joey
Chandler said. "It controls
everything to do now and in
the future."
Commissioner Jim Roberts
acknowledged that the assess-
ments might be needed, but,
stressed that residents must
see some return for the fees.
-There has to be a trade-off in
reduced rates," he said.
"There is also a trade-off in
not having to bury garbage in
anyone's back yard,"'
Commissioner Randy Mask
said.
He also commented that all
of the neighboring counties
have some form of solid waste
assessment.
The vote to extend the study
was approved unanimously.
Throughout the discussions
and public comments,


rather, "as a matter of protec-
tion for him. He did not want
it to appear in any way that
there was any witness tamper-
ing," Shirley said.
"And to this day there's not
been any indication of any
wrongdoing."
As for the investigation,
Shirley said, "We've got to pro-
tect kids that's our goal."
More than a goal, he said,
"Our highest priority is to pro-
tect children and always will
be. But again, we have an obli-
gation to staff too, if they are
abused by the system."
He pointed out the need for
the investigation, "But there's
a delicate balance between
what is just innuendo and
shadow and what is truth and
fact.
"If there's something wrong,
we need to know that and if
there's not, we need to know
that, and his family and school
need to know that," Shirley
said.
"And if indeed we find that
there were lies told, we'll cer-
tainly do whatever we can
legally, as well.

Chandler said that the board
does not have an answer for
now on the future of the recy-
cling facility, that the board
was going to have to wait on
the additional information
and a formal presentation of
the consultant's and solid
Waste committee's recommen-
dations.
In other business:
Commissioners decided
that they would proceed with
moving their meeting place to
the historic second-floor
courtroom.
The idea was suggested sev-
eral weeks ago and was con-.
sidered Tuesday when County
Administrator Bernard Dew
presented the board with a
favorable report from the
state Board of Historical
Preservation.

According to Shirley, the
investigation continues and
answers are still being sought
and need to be sought, but
"Kids have come back that he
taught in high school."
They come back "With
admiration and love and
praise for him, not criticizing
him," he said.
He also pointed out the
opinion of many in the school
district.
Shirley said that White
bought jackets for kids who
were cold and even wrote
checks to help put food on the
table for those in need.
"Teaching kids is hard and
every parent's worse night-

going to happen to their kid.
And I .understand why they
feel that way.
But at the same time, it's a
matter.of sticking with the

"You can't make 'em look
better than they are and you
can't make 'em look worse,
You just have to look at the

BOB REICHMAN
Editor

Next month, a new organi-
zation, Sumter PRIDE
(Partnering Resources for
Interactive Drug Education) is
hoping to attract new mem-

alcohol abuse locally
Sumter PRIDE has sched-
uled a community meeting for
2 p.m. Wednesday, March 2, at


the Bushnell Community
Center
William 'and Marjorie
Sanders are heading the orga-
nizational efforts.
"Basically, we decided to
start this because there's a
lack of this type of program in
Sumter County," Sanders said.
"We felt that there's a need in
Sumter County for an anti-
drug and alcohol group.'
PRIDE's goal is to reduce
drug and alcohol abuse in

Sumter County and to educate
children of the dangers of
drug and alcohol use, accord-
ing to Sanders.
'"At Sumter PRIDE, we are a
community working together,"
Sanders said. "We are working


on creating a partnership with
many of the area organiza-
tions and agencies trying to
establish a network of servic-
es that can be more readily
available and support existing
groups, organizations and


agencies."
The March meeting has
been set as an informal, pre-
liminary meeting.
Its aim is to provide more
information about PRIDE and
to encourage people to
become involved.
Senta Goudy, of the gover-
nor's office of drug control, is

Crowd gathers for dedication Ladies Aide meets


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

More than 100 people gath-
ered Monday for the dedica-
tion of a new veteran's memo-
rial in Bushnell as South
Sumter High School's band
and chorus played and county
officials led the ceremony.
County Commissioners Joey
Chandler, Jim Roberts, Randy
Mask and Dick Hoffman were
on hand for the event.
Chandler opened the service
with an invocation and Roberts
joined Veteran's Services
Officer Dan Baker, Everett
Kelly and Community Services
Director Jim Sparks in leading
the ceremony. Mask led the
group in closing the service,
with prayer.
During his time at the micro-.
phone, Roberts said he noticed


a skateboarder paused and
kneeling at the site on Sunday.
A South Sumter High School
teacher, he said one' of his stu-
dents asked about the bricks.
"I'm going in the Marines,
can I have a brick?"
Roberts also noted the par-
ticipation of South Sumter
High School students from
the band and chorus to the
NJROTC, who provided post-
ing of the colors.
The Sumter County Honor
Guard offered the 21-gun
salute and played "Taps."
Kelly, a former state repre-
sentative, talked about his part
in obtaining a memorial wall of
honor in Tallahassee.
He urged listeners to say
thanks, next time they see a
veteran and said he believes a
veteran's, image should be
carved in the side of Mt.
Rushmore, along with the faces


of the four presidents current-
ly there.
' He said he had been a hospi-
tal corpsman, but never saw
battle and asked the crowd to
contemplate their response if
they were asked to go and let
someone take their life.
And to those vets, Kelly said,
"Thank you very much for my
freedom today."
Promoted by veterans like
Jack Bratton, the memorial is
made up of dedicated bricks
and is a way for family and
friends to insure their loved
ones can be honored or
remembered for their dedica-
tion and sacrifice.
Anyone interested in pur-
chasing a brick, either in honor
of a veteran living, or in memo-
ry of one who has passed on,
can contact the Sumter County
Veteran's Service Office at
793-0235.

Sumter County Youth Center gets $150,000 donation


AMANDA MIvMS
Staff Writer

The Sumter County Youth
Center is making plans for a
brand new 7,500-square-foot
building for their Wildwood
location, thanks to a hefty sum
left to them by the late Robert
Cardosi of Lake Panasoffkee.
"It was a very pleasant sur-
prise," Executive Director
Billy Ray said.
Ray said he had only met
Cardosi a few times and never
expected part of his estate
would-be left to the youth cen-
ter.
"He wanted to be able to
leave it to a good cause," Ray
said:
The youth center is a non-
profit organization and home


to after-school and summer
programs for many Sumter
children.
The centers in Bushnell
and Wildwood provide a safe,
fun environment for children
when school's out and parents
are working.
For the last few years, Ray
and others have been trying to
obtain a permanent building
in Wildwood to house the
youth center.
Currently, the center in
Wildwood consists of used
portable buildings that were
donated by the School Board,
which they've been using for
three years now.
Finding reasonably priced
land and money to build was-
n't easy and was taking longer
than originally planned.
Then, about six months ago,


Ray was informed of the dona-'
tion. Now the youth center
has to obtain a 25-year lease
with the city, which they're in
the process of doing.
They also must raise more
money. "It'll take every bit of
that, plus some," he said but
added it's a lot easier to raise
money once a project is
already started-and they're
off to a great start.
Besides the youth center
donation, Cardosi left por-
tions of his estate to Sumter
County Association for
Retarded Citizens, the Rotary
Club of Wildwood, Lee County
Hospice, and the American
Cancer Society.
"He's always been very gen-
erous," his attorney, Randall
Thornton said. "The bulk of
his estate went to charity."

Closure ... of the Sumter County
Solid Waste, Composting &
Recycling Facility?
Look on your milk cartons, milk
jugs, laundry detergent boxes, soda
bottles and other commonly used
everyday household items.
"Recycle." We teach our children to
recycle to preserve our earth and
natural resources, for ourselves
and future generations.
Sumter County, a great place to
live, work and play. Many genera-
tions of families have called
Sumter County home for years dat-
ing back to the late 1800s. There is
a way of life and an environment
here worth preserving and main-
taining. We are not in the "horse
and buggy" era, quite the opposite;
Sumter County operates an out-
standing, state-of-the-art facility
that draws not only national, but
worldwide recognition. The
Sumter.County Solid Waste Facility
has encountered many visitors
from all over the world with the
common interest of recycling in
hopes of reservations for our
county, our planet and our world.
The Solid Waste Facility is on the
leading edge of technology, winning
awards such as "Outstanding
County or City Program Award"
presented by Recycle Florida
Today in 2004. The prestigious
"Eweson Award" was also recently
presented during a roundtable
forum proving Sumter County as
the best operated facility repre-
sented in the United States and
Canada.
The staff of the Solid Waste
Facility works tirelessly to over-


come the trials and tribulations of
operating such a facility, overcom-
ing some hurdles and expounding
upon the knowledge they are gain-
ing daily in the hands-on effort to
persevere and generate an envi-
ronmentally safe product, compost
The compost generated at the Solid
Waste Facility is beneficial to the
agri-business industry. Agriculture
has long been the leading industry
for Sumter County.
Sumter County has the highest
recycling diversion rate in the state
of Florida by 70 percent. It is the
only facility of its kind nationwide;
due to the fact that it is a municipal
solid waste (MSW) composting
facility with an up-front recycling
building.
Impacted by the fastest growing
Community in the state of Florida,
and the second in the United
States, the Sumter County Solid
Waste Facility is struggling to stay
ahead. Some individuals do not see;
importance in our recycling efforts,
but rather the dollars generated%
from developers who will soon
come and go, leaving behind tons
upon tons of generated garbage in
Sumter County.
Some individuals would rather
bring in landfills giving way to
future problems associated with
leakage and pollution to our water
table, our most precious resource.
These same individuals are also
promoting transfer stations gener-
ating the added burden of vehicles
to provide transport of hundreds of
tons of garbage throughout Sumter
County to our road system. This
also creates the way for spills
requiring extensive cost for clean
up.
Just a few short months ago, the
leading dilemma facing Sumter
County commissioners was how
much of the county's money should
be spent maintaining special
"grasses" to maintain the "look"
throughout The Villages. This is
your tax dollars working, make
your elected officials make your
voice heard.

Man arrested for prowling,


other charges filed


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

A prowler on Terry Street in
Wildwood early Saturday was
finally subdued by law
enforcement officers but not
until the man had been
stunned several times with a
taser gun.
Jerrell Leonard Luther, 26,
of Wildwood, was arrested on
numerous charges after
attempting to flee from offi-
cers, according to a Wildwood
police report. Luther was
charged with possession of
cocaine, attempted battery on
a law enforcement officer,
resisting arrest with violence,
resisting arrest without vio-
lence, two counts of giving a
false name, loitering and sev-
eral arrest warrants from


Citrus County.
Luther was placed in the
Sumter County Detention
'Center with bond set at $7,500.
The incident began about
4:30 a.m. when Wildwood
Police Officers C. Adams and
D. Brooks went to a home at
430 Terry Street to investigate
a prowler complaint, accord-
ing to the report.
Adams chased a suspect,
later identified as Luther, who
fled from the area, the report
states. Adams used his taser to
stun the man when he refused
to stop running. When the offi-
cer attempted to arrest him,
Luther continued to fight and
was again subdued by the
taser, the report states.
The officers then secured
Luther with handcuffs..
"Luther was placed' in the
back of a patrol car and start-


ed hitting his head against the
rear side window," according
to the report.
When Luther refused to
stop, Brooks opened the back
door of the patrol car and
Luther tried to kick him.
"Brooks deployed and utilized
his taser on Luther," the
report states. "Luther was
then secured to the point that
he could not inflict any
injuries to himself or to oth-
ers."
During the time Luther was
at the Wildwood Police
Department, he gave officers
two false names and attempt-
ed to elude the discovery of
outstanding warrants, accord-
ing to the report.
Officers also found a ciga-
rette package in Luther's pos-
session that contained
cocaine, the report states.

Newsletter for

Sumter County Chamber of Commerce

and Sumter County Economic Development Council

Message fro

(Taken from the speech delivered at
the recent Chamber of Commerce
Annual Meeting)
It was, my pleasure to address the various businesses represented
at the recent 60th Annual Meeting of the Sumter County Chamber of
Commerce. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have served as
your President over the past year and to continue these duties in 2005.
Initially when I agreed to serve in this capacity, I had reservations.
However, I soon became very excited about my new Chamber role
and the opportunity to work with a great group of people.
As:I assumed my responsibilities as President, the year was off to
a good start but as I began soliciting new memberships I was faced
with a common question; what's in it for me? I pondered this in my
mind and then decided to inquire among our members as to why they
belonged to the Chamber. The answers I got were as varied as the
businesses themselves. Some said it was the right thing to do; others
advised that they wanted to be good corporate citizens; others named
specific perks, such as our Newsletter, the Directory, access to dis-
counted services, networking opportunities, referrals, education of
legislative and workplace issues and of course there were many,
many other reasons.
: fI thought about the answers I'd received and decided they were all
valid reasons. I also decided that those members who were not active-
ly participating in Chamber events were riot realizing many of the
benefits. Therefore. I challenge .each of you to get involved with
YOUR Chamber. We have a mountain of opportunity with us here as
% e are located in one of the fasted growing counties in the state. If
you don't believe me just get into your car and take a drive.
Ev en w here Nou look there are signs of growth; construction is every-
w wherc and the most common roadside sign contains the word
"SOLD." Those of you in real estate can relate to that!.
W \We had e the continued grow th of our good neighbor The Villages
and the businesses that are a spin off of that development. We* have
the new Ag Center and the fish hatchery expansion; we're home tc
one of the largest flea markets in the southeast and we have numerous
parks and trails for the adventurer and those who enjoy getting back
to nature. Our county is diverse and offers something for everyone
And, we continue to grow!
aSpeaking of growth. your Chamber has experienced another
great year. Our membership role is now over 200 and we are seeing
'more and more member attendance at our monthly meetings aind
Business After Hours events. We also continue to create our monthly
P


the President SUMMER CHAMBER'S 60THANNIVERSARY
A IT ITTTTAT ilrlrrTITP


newsletter insert for publication in the Sumter County Times
because it is important to us to educate the community on Chamber
projects/events. With that in mind, I encourage each of Nou. as
members, to use this valuable tool to promote your business at e% e-
ry opportunity.
f In addition to the newsletter, your Chamber hosted their first
Annual Casino night this past year. We learned a lot and dijscol eied
many of our directors, Bob Hunt, Diana Coulliard. and Ale<
Ogilvie, just to name a few, had hidden talents. These folks could
probably launch a successful career in Vegas as chip counters, deal -
ers and pit bosses. I personally learned you can't play cards \\ ith
Dennis Rogers and win. Anyway, the feedback from the e\ent was
good and those in attendance said they're looking forward to the
next Casino Night.
On another note, your Chamber along with the Sumter Countr
Economic Development Council once again co-hosted the Business
and Industry Appreciation Gala. It was great to see that one of our
own member-businesses, Joe Capporelli, Edws ard Jones
Investments, was chosen as Business of the Year: Se\eril other
f Chamber businesses were nominated for awards as well.
Besides the Casino Night and the Business & Industry Gala.
your Chamber continued to promote and participate in Business
After Hours.Mixers. These events provide another opporntui)s forr
our Chamber family to get to know one another better. This is so
important as statistics show that people are more apt t0 do business
with those they have developed a relationship with than with
someone who can offer them service or goods at a lower price. So,
f if you want your business to grow, plan now to attend the next net-
working event.
Your Chamber also continues to be a good steward of the envi-
I ronment. We have an ongoing ink cartridge and newspaper-recN -
cling project So next time you're tempted to throw one of those
s items awaN. don't! Instead bring them to our next meeting ort drop
them by the Chamber office. ,
'This past year we also upgraded our time and temperature. You
s can now obtain the latest weather forecast when calling in. You also
will get to hear some of our local celebrities advertise their bust-
ness; by the way, there is still space available to do this and the tal-
ent search is on.
r, Last but certainly not least, your Chamber is currently without
an Executive Director, however several extremely qualified applic-
ants have applied for the position and we are working to fill the
S acancN. Without a doubt, it is going to. be another great year
Therefore. I encourage each of you to get involved and get the most
out of your Chamber. Quincy Jones said, "Imagine what a harmoni-
ous world it could be if every single person, both young and old,
share a little of what he is good at doing". With that in mind, each
and every one of you has special talents and together we can do
awesome things for the benefit of all who live, work and play in our
County. Barbara Shaw

Instructor and Bushnell resident Julia
Sweitzer has been formally recognized for
both of these qualities.
The International Conference on
Education and Information Systems:
Technologies and Applications (EISTA),
which met in Orlando last summer, is an
annual affair, attended by over 60 nations.
' Its main objective is to provide a forum
for the presentation of both problems and
solutions in the applications of
Information and Communications
Technologies (ICT) in education and
training. The organization invited authors
from corporations, organizations, schools
and universities to submit original works
on various topics in the field of ICT.
Educators were encouraged to submit
ideas and designs for developing informa-
tion systems for the classroom. Ms.
Sweitzer submitted a paper titled "Proper
Support Improves Online Student
Success." She was recently honored
when she received an email announcing
that her presentation was acknowledged
as the "Best Paper" presented during the
Application of Education Technologies I
session. "The quality of papers like Ms.


Sweitzer gave the conference prestige,
wrote EISTA 2004 General Chair Fre
Malpica. "It.was highly appreciated an
helped make our conference a great
success."
Ms. Sweitzer also presented a paper
titled "Supporting the Student in th
Online Classroom," at the Society o
Applied Learning Technology Conferenc
held last August in Virginia. The Societ
is an organization for professionals whose
work requires knowledge and common
cation in the field of instruction
technology.
In November, she presented a round
able discussion on "Proper Suppo:
Improves Online Student Success," during
the League for Innovation in th
Community College Conference i
Tampa. The League is an internationE

GOVERNOR BUSH PROPOSES INCREASED SUPPORT FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES
Fifty-two percent increase over fiscal year 2002-2003


JASPER Gqvernor Jeb Bush and Lt. Governor Toni
Jennings today announced a series of initiatives aimed at
enhancing the commitment to Florida's economically
distressed rural counties and communities While other
counties budgets are experiencing rapid increases as pro-
perty values rise. rural counties, which are limited in
their-growth potential, often have difficulty simply meet-
ing basic needs. As part of their policy and budget rec-
ommendations, the Governor and Lt. Governor are pro-
posing $301 million for small rural communities.
"Prosperity and opportunity are the hallmark of our state
and it is our responsibility to ensure they are a reality for
all Floridians," said Go\ ernor Bush. "Many rural coun-
ties in Flonda are not experiencing the same robust eco-
nomic grow th as the rest of the state, which is why we
must pros ide the assistance necessary for essential ser-
vices and future growth. I am committed to our rural
counties as they strive to meet the needs of their
citizens."
"The proposed $301 million will assist fiscally con-
strained'rural communities meet critical needs for their
residents, hike building additional schools, infrastructure
and health needs." Li. Governor Jennings said. "Gover-
nor Bush and I recognize the many challenges our small
rural counties face and are committed to providing sig-
nificant support."
The Governor and Lt. Governor outlined their initiatives
today at Jasper in Hamilton County which is one of the
14 rural counties in the third designated Rural Area of
Critical Economic Concern. The'Governor indicated that
his initiatives would provide additional targeted and
flexible funding assistance to those rural counties and
communities i need throughout the State. Joining the
Governor and Lt. Governor at the event were Senator
Carey Baker Representative Joe Pickens and
Representative Will Kendnck.


The proposal includes:
>- $15 million in new recurring funds that would be
distributed to fiscally constrained counties on a formula
basis to be used by the counties to meet their greatest
needs.-
>- $9'million in additional funds in recognition of the
,relatively higher operating cost of smaller school
districts due to sparse student population. This brings
total funding for educanon sparsir, to $40 million, a 29
percent increase oser current year Rural counties can
use this funding for any education operating need.
> $55 million for construction of schools:
> $46 million in grants to rural counties and small
communities for infrastructure needs such as
transportation, wastewater treatment and rural
infrastructure grants
S ) $25 million for Small County Road Assistance
Program i SCRAP $5.3 million for Small County
Outreach Program (SCOP)
)D $13 million for Small Community Wastewater
Treatment Grants, an increase of $9.5 million or 271
percent
O $2.7 million for Rural Infrastructure Grants, a
$550,000 increase
> $145 million for community assets, including:
0 $1 million for a new rural health development
initiative that would award grants to fund capital
improvements for rural hospitals. county health
departments, Federally Qualified Rural Health
Centers, and other safety net providers grants.
O $119.7 million for new prison facilitiesin three
rural counties IWakulla, Su%%annee, and Columbia)


0 $5 million to defer juvenile detention cost shift
impacts in fiscally constrained counties
0 $19.3 million for rural community development.
library, recycling, and environmental grants
$10 million for statewide restoration projects, a
39 percent increase from Fiscal Year 20014-05
$6.5 million to continue Fiscal Year 2004-05
funding of Solid Waste Management Grants
(Recycling Grants to Small Counties
$1.3 million to continue Fiscal Year 2004-05
funding of the Rural Community Development
Grants Program
*$ 100,000 to continue Fiscal Year 2004-05
funding of the Community Libraries in Caring
Program
$1 million to continue development of the
Suwannee River Wilderness Trail
$350,000 to continue funding the Small County
Technical Assistance Program m the Department
of Agriculture and Consumer Services

Since 1999, rural counties have experienced a substan-
tial increase in the number of economic development
projects facilitated with state assistance. Under the lea-
dership of Governor Bush, the state has provided over
$62.6 million in economic development assistance and
related programs to rural communities-supporting more
than 91 projects in 27 rural counties and communities,
creating 8.930 jobs, and infusing approximately $894
million in new capital investment. Comparatively, from
1995 to 1999, only 12 projects in 8 rural counties were
supported by the state resulting in only 718 jobs and
$53.6 million of capital investment.

FLORIDA MINIMUM WAGE BEGINNING DATE ANNOUNCED
TALLAHASSEE-IThe Agenct for Workorce Innovation today
announced that the beginning date for Flonda' nes ly-enacted rn-uri-
mum wage will be May 2, 2005. Florida's minimum wage was
created in a constitutional amendment approved by voters on
November 2, 2004, and covers all employees in the state covered by
the federal minimum wage.
The state minimum wage will start at $6.15 per hour or all hours
worked in Florida and thereafter be indexed to inflation each year.
For tipped employees meeting eligibility requirements for the tip
credit under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers may count tips
actually received as: .aes towards ,atisfacrion of the minimum
wage but the employer may not pay less than $2.13 per hour in
direct wages.
Employees who are not paid the minimum wage after May 2,
2005 may bring a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction
against the employer or any person violating Florida's minimum
wage law. The state Attorney General or other official designated by
the state legislature may also bring a civil action to enforce this
amendment. As stated in Flonda's Constitution, the case law, admin-
istrative interpretations, and other guiding standards under the Fair
Labor Standards Act should be the guide regarding the construction
of Florida's constitutional amendment creating the minimum wage.
Fair Labor Standards Act information and compliance assistance can

County looks for solid waste solutions


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer
Some of Sumter's solid
waste employees are worried
now that they may not have
jobs when county commission-
ers make a decision regarding
the county's ongoing solid
waste problem.
As instructed by the board,
the Solid Waste RFP (Request
for Proposals) Committee was
formed and has been meeting
since September 2004,


researching options for the
county and forming recom-
mendations for commission-
ers based, on economic, envi-
ronmental, and philosophical
considerations.
The committee is made up
of County Administrator
Bernard Dew, Assistant
County Administrator Sandra
Howell, Planning and
Development Director Robbie
Rogers, Public Works Director
Tommy Hurst, Sumter County
Solid Waste Consultant Mitch


Kessler, and County Finance
Officer Gary Reynolds. On
Feb. 17, they met to discuss
proposals.
They considered the possi-
bilities of a landfill, making
necessary improvements to
the current facility for it to run
efficiently enough to meet the
county's need, and changing
the current facility into a
transfer station to bring waste
to a landfill outside the county.
However, none of the possi-
ble solutions are without


drawbacks and the problem
doesn't get smaller in the
meantime.
"The garbage numbers are
not going down," Hurst said.
Howell said there are 28
employees at the dump now. If
it were changed into a transfer
station, there would be a sig-
nificant loss of jobs. "I would
hope that they would try
to...help maintain those posi-
tions," she said.
According to Kessler, bring-
ing the current facility up to


speed is the. most expensive
option and would require an
estimated 3.2 to 3.5 million.
"It's never had a fair
chance," Rogers said. "It's
been worse than under fund-
ed."
A landfill would be the most
economical solution, though
many residents are opposed to
the idea. Howell pointed out
that it doesn't make sense for
people to oppose a landfill but
support transferring waste to a
landfill elsewhere.


Kessler said regardless of
what the committee decides,
the county must have control
over solid waste.
"This commission is ready to
make a decision," Kessler
said. "The, good news, I think,'
is that finally something's
going to happen."
The committee will make
recommendations to the com-'
mission at the ndxt board,
meeting and will request to
schedule a workshop on the
issue for March 1, Dew said.


Daughters of the Confederacy group set


AT ANIMAL CONTROL


There is a chapter of the
United Daughters of the
Confederacy in the area..
Named the Marion Dragoons
by charter member, Edna
Yongue Boyer, who through
research discovered that her
grandfather, Alexander
Henry Yongue, was a soldier
in this unit.
The unit was the first cav-


alry company to be organized
in Marion County at the out-
set of the War Between the
States in May 1861. This unit
was 2nd Florida Cavalry,
Company C.
Members from the Tri-
County Area meet the third
Tuesday of the month,
September through May, at
the Silver Springs Shores


Elks Lodge on Hwy. C-25, 1-
1/2 miles east of Belleview.
Beginning at 11 a.m., a meet-
ing is conducted, followed by
a lunch served by Chef
Carter and his staff, and a
program by the chapter histo-.
rian. '

ooCroom volunteer firefighters: Real American heroes



Croom volunteer firefighters: Real American heroes


Couple of Saturdays
ago, the small commu-
nity of Croom located
in the southwest portion of
Sumter County had their
annual yard sale.
Folks, this is a big
yard sale where .
nearly every one in SE
the community joins
in to make a day of -
festivities, fellow-
ship and fun.
Right here and
now, I have got to let
you all know that I
have some deep per-
sonal and good feel-
ings for the commu- JAMIE
nity of Croom. Back Outdo
in the summer of -
1980, when I was try-
ing to get elected to position
of Sumter County sheriff, the
community of Croom was one
of the very first places that
really came to the front and
helped me out big time in my
quest.
. One day that summer, while
making my rounds in the
county trying to garner every
possible vote I could, I met a
bunch of the Croom volunteer
firefighters when I happened
to stop by the Croom Fire
Station namely Frank
Wheeler, the chief back then,
Tommy Messer, the present
chief; Wiley Foster, Deputy
Sheriff Mickey Poole and a
bunch more dedicated fire-
fighters whose names now
escape my memory but I do
remember that the head of
their auxiliary, Ed Sease who
is now 92 and still going
strong, was most definitely
there.
Good friends, those were
the days when most of our
local fire departments were
self-supporting and manned
entirely by volunteer help all
donated by some of the finest
folks that lived in Sumter.
County.
Today, there still is a bunch
of great volunteer fire depart-
ments in Sumter County but


(


Croom and Center Hill
department stick out most
fondly in my mind because I
personally knew most of their
firefighters and I had and still
have some mighty
- fine friends who
have always given
so freely of their
time to protect us
24 hours a days
every day of the
S year.
Anyhow, back to
the time when I
was trying des-
perately to per-
suade the good
ADAMS folks in Sumter
or Writer, County to elect a
"young game war-
den with not a bit
of experience as to how to run
a sheriff's department .as
their new sheriff.
I was hunting a vote big
time anywhere and anyplace
I could find one. Well, shortly
after I met the firefighters at
the Croom Fire Department, I
found out somehow or anoth-
er that they were going to be
having a great big celebration
on Labor Day and was going
to be trying to raise money to
help their fire department
While I did not have any
experience in being an elect-
ed sheriff but as a game war-
den I had helped put on plen-
ty of country barbecues and a
heap of fish frys so I offered
my help in assisting with the
Croom Fire Departments big
barbecue on Labor Day.
I don't remember exactly
just where, but somehow I got
a hold of and donated a giant
sized hog for the cookout.
Folks, this was a sure nuff big.
hog and as Chief's Frank
Wheeler and Tommy Messer
and I were reminiscing the
other day, that monster hog
had to weight more than 500
pounds.
Well,. we got the giant hog
ready for the barbecue and
all got together the night
before the Labor Day celebra-


Small business books at



Sumter Campus Library


tion and cooked that hog all
night long. The next day, the
barbecue pork dinners were
all sold raising quite a bit of
needed money for the Croom
Fire Department and I had
made some fine lifelong
friends to boot
The Croom Fire depart-
ment has been around a long-
time and from the git-go the
volunteers raised money any-
way they could and slowly
turned it into one of the finest
small fire departments to be
found anywhere.
The men and women of the
Croom Fire Department had
to struggle many times and
. there were even times when
they dug into their own per-
sonal pockets to put gas in
their fire trucks.
These days times are differ-
ent for the rural volunteer
fire departments in that
Sumter County has a head
fire chief with a lot of fancy
ideas that he bought to
Sumter County from a big city
somewhere.
Big city ideas are fine at
times but these small volun-
teer community fire depart-
ments are still made up of the
men and women who give of
their time 24 hours a day and
each and every one of them
deserve to be treated with the
utmost, and highest respect
and not like exiles.
Much too often when high
priced fancy leaders are
brought in from outside a
county they bring ridiculous
big city unnecessarily expen-
sive bureaucratic rules
wrapped in miles of red tape
along fancy rules that don't
necessary set well with the
real backbones of small com-
munity oriented fire depart-
ments or any other volunteer
agency for'that matter, not to
mention the taxpayers who
are paying the bills.
Much too often our smaller
community voluntary fire
departments are pushed back
into a corner and the bigger


departments get the best from
our tax dollars, especially
when it comes to getting new
equipment and the upkeep of
the equipment they do have.
Anyway, we all owe a great
deal of appreciation and grat-
itude to small volunteer fire
departments like Croom and
Center Hill.
I especially want to person-
ally thank men like Frank
Wheeler, Tommy Messer,


David Hanson who has
passed away, and- Steve
Madere and all the Craig boys
from Center Hill along with a
bunch more fine folks from
all over the county.
I especially want to pay a
special tribute to two fine
young volunteers who gave
their lives in the performance
of their duties: firemen
Wayne Fort and PJ. Reed. To
my knowledge these two


young men who were in the
very prime of life are the only
two fire fighters who have lost
their lives while keeping us
safe here in Sumter County.
Small rural community vol-
unteer fire department are as
American as it can get and I
hope they will always be
around to serve us when we.
need them the most. My hat is
off to them as well as my
prayers for their safety.

FIRST PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

The City of Bushnell is considering applying to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up
to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00). These funds must be used for
one of the following purposes:
1. To benefit low and moderate income persons; or
2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or
3. To meet other community development needs of recent origin having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the
health or welfare of the community and where other financial resources are not
available to meet such needs.
The categories of activities for which these funds may be used are in the areas of
housing, neighborhood revitalization, commercial revitalization, or economic
development and include such improvement activities as acquisition of real property,
loans to private-for-profit business, purchase of machinery and equipment construction
of infrastructure, rehabilitation of houses and commercial buildings, and energy
conservation. Additional information regarding the range of activities that may be
undertaken will be provided at the public hearing.
For each activity that is proposed, at least 70% of the funds must benefit low and
moderate income persons.
In developing an application for submission to DCA, the City of Bushnell, must plan to
minimize displacement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activities. In addition,
the City of Bushnell is required to develop a plan to assist displaced persons.
The public hearing to receive citizen views concerning the community's economic and
community development needs will be held at the Bushnell City Hall Council
Chambers, 219 North Market Street, Monday, March 7, 2005, at 6:00 p.m. or as soon

On Tuesday, Feb. 15, South
Sumter Raiders Varsity
Baseball Team played the Oak
Ridge Pioneers in the Classic
hosted by East Ridge High
School and took the win, 12-2.
Oak Ridge scored two runs
in the top of the first, the only
two they would score the rest
of the game.
Two RBIs and two players
walking because of wild pitch-
es gave South Sumter the
lead, bringing the score to 4-2
at the end of the first inning.
In the second inning, the
first three Pioneers were
struck out and the Raiders


scored another run.
A hit to center field in the
bottom of the third by Raider
Wes Gill brought in two more
runs followed by a three-run
homer by Tyler Starnes bring-
ing the score up to 10-2.
Raiders scored two more
runs in the bottom of the
fourth to give them the 12-2
lead.
That ended scoring by the
Pioneers and game finally
ended with a congratulatory
handshake.
Coach Brian Simmons said,
"The was good for the kids.
They have done pretty well.
Though not as strong, they
played decent and I am look-
ing forward to a long season."

Many people watch the pop-
ular TV series on Animal
Planet, "-Animal Cop Heroes."
Cities from New York to Miami
to Dallas have law enforce-
ment personnel dedicated
specificallI to handle animal
complaints and abuse. But ani-
rmal abuse isn't just a series oni
TV It is ri"ht here in Sumter
County. Hideous crimes of tor-
ture. the filth and disease of
puppy mills, the cruel blood
sport of dog and cock fighting,
and endless animal suffering
from neglect and abuse. Yes it
is all here in Sumter County.
and it is flourishing
Animal abuse can be a pre-
dictor for domestic violence


and future violent behavior
toward both animals and
humans. Over the past 10 to 20
years, many studies have
focused on the link between
animal abuse and domestic
violence. The abuser wvill
direct his anger at the most -vul-
nerable in the family: women,
children and animals. Ifa child
abuses animals, it can be an
indicator of more violent acts to
follow in the future. Serial
killers such as Ted Bundy and
Jeflery Dahmer tortured ani-
mals as well as children
This awareness of the violent
behavior of animal abusers has
been the incentive to strength-
en animal cruelty laws. But

Nobleton Men's Club cooks


The Nobleton Men's Club
held its annual pancake break-
fast on Saturday, Feb. 12, at the
Nobleton Community Center
to raise money for local chil-
dren's groups in Bushnell and
for the enjoyment of the com-
munity spanning'the three-
county area along County Road
476 and the Withlacoochee
River.
More than 75 people, mostly
from Bushnell, Istachatta and
Nobleton, attended the break-
fast; according to Ray McGee,
who collected voluntary contri-
butions from the breakfast
guests.
"The Nobleton Men's Club
uses the funds we earn from
events like the pancake break-
fast to help out the Boys and
Girls Club of Bushnell and to
provide toys at Christmas for
children in the Nobleton and
Istachatta area," explains John
Brink, a founding member of
the club and its current presi-
dent
Among the highlights of the
event was a drawing for a quilt
and two quilted jackets hand-
made by the Friendship
Quilters, who meet weekly at
the Nobleton Community


Center The quilters use money
from the raffle to purchase
supplies for making lap robes,
which are then donated to peo-
ple in nursing homes. Recently,
the group sent six lap robs to
the Moffitt Cancer Center in
Tampa. They also sent six
packages containing foods, toi-
letries and two-hour telephone
cards to U. S soldiers in Iraq.
Carol Merchant, wife of club
member Dick Merchant. enter-
tained attendees by playing the

he had heard about the pan-
cake breakfast at the fire sta-

said.
Breakfast guest Maxine

tougher laws alone will not

investigations and equine ani-

And she has assisted other
Sheriff's offices throughout the

seen recently in Sumter County
is worse than anything she has
ever witnessed over her past 20
years of being an investigator.
The cycle of violence must be
stopped now, or we will all pay
the price.
