Mining operation draws criticism


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County Commis-
sioners on Tuesday put off
approval for a new operating
permit for a Sumterville lime-
rock mine, but instead gave it
a three-month extension of its
current permit.
Commissioners decided
that Ocala Bedrock, Inc., must
return to the commission at
the end of that period with
proposals for an acceleration
lane on County Road 470 at
the mine entrance, some
noise elimination and address


neighbors well problems. The
board has also asked the own-
ers and county staff for pro-
posals on limiting hours of,
operation.
The mine is currently oper-
ating on a permit extension,
issued last year. It was granted
after commissioners decided
that they did not want to issue
a permit until the mine opera-
tors cleared up some regulato-
ry issues with the Florida
Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP).
Steps to deal with those
problems, mostly involving
drainage from the Big Prairie


'Canal, have been set by a con-
sent order from that agency.
While the permit applica-
tion came to the board with
approvals of the county's
Zoning and Adjustment Board
and Development Review
Committee, some of the
mine's neighbors were against
a new permit.
Linda Wood, who resides
just south of the quarry, said
it's been a problem for a num-
ber' ofr the homes in her area,
She showed commissioners
a darkened filter cartridge,
from her home water supply.
"We didn't need this before


Bedrock."she said.
While the well is probably
80 years old, the water quality
w\as good before Bedrock,
Wood said.
, Homes have been damaged
and the mine operators have
replaced some wells, she said.
The board needs to consid-
er hours of operation, Wood
said. "They operate in the
middle of the night."
While looking after live-
stock recently, she said the
noise in her pasture was
"deafening" at 3 a.m.
Now, there are sinkholes
appearing in ne%\ pasture her


family recently purchased in
the same area, she said.,
John and Diana Goff are
*also County Road 526 resi-
dents. He said his concerns
were much the same as
Wood's.
While trying to build onto
their home, Goff said he could
not get a contractor to guaran-
tee concrete block walls.
"I understand that they
have to make a living," Goff
said. "But, the noise levels are
high."
He suggested that the oper-
ations be limited from 6 a.m.
until 9 p.m.,


FAIR




STARTS


FRIDAYi



AMANDA NIMdMS
Staff Writer


It's that time of year again. While we're
looking forward to warmer weather, we can
also look forward to cotton candy, elephant
ears, carnival games and rides on the Ferris
wheel.
The Sumter County Fair is something dif-
fereat to everyone. but most can agree it's
about the kids. from toddlers to teenagers.
They look forward all winter to a 'fair day'
when they go to the fair instead of school,
and of all the rides, the shows, food, and the
friends they'll see.
For 50 years people have been making
memories at the Sumter County fair. This
year, the fair starts on Friday. March 11. and
continues through Saturday. March 19, at the
fairgrounds north of Webster.
Plenty of work goes in to putting this all
together, which most people probably don't
think about when they go to enjoy all the fair
has to offer. "People don't understand it
takes a lot to put the fair together," said fair
spokesperson Barbara Kane, and she's
strived to make this year better than ever:
"It's our 50th anniversary: so we want to
make that shine," Kane said. There will be
more entertainment than usual, and a big
addition to setting up was their website.
which they've never had before. It gives
information about the day-to-day schedule.
which Kane said has been a great help to
those who've already inquired.
Also new this year, the Speckled
Butterbean restaurant in Webster will be
manning the kitchen. Instead of the usual
hamburgers and hot dogs there, folks can
opt for a sit-down type of meal and will be
able to choose from menu items like
grouper: catfish, and Cuban sand iches.
There will be lots to do and enjoy for the
coming week, but don't miss this Friday
night when the fair kicks off with the Miss
Teen Sumter and Miss Sumter Pageants at 7
p.m. Reigning Miss Teen Sumter Calah
Carmichael will hand over her crown to one

Air ambulance base moves north


hnoto oy Amanaa Mims
Tom Zuber, a Life Net pilot who works out of Augusta, Ga., flies a single-engine EC130 helicop-,
ter over Wildwood on Monday, March 7. The helicopter, which was flown in from Georgia this
week for demonstration purposes, will be permanently housed at Life Net Florida's new air
ambulance base in.Wildwood within the next four to six weeks.


AMANOA MiMS
Staff Writer

A few months ago, Life Net
air ambulance base moved
from its southern Sumter,
County location in Bushnell to
a new facility in Wildwood.
On Monday, March 7, Life
Net held a fornmal ribbon-cut-
ting ceremony for the new
office building, at 6450 County
Road 139, in Wildwood, and
used the opportunity not only
to let the community know
they're here but also to show
.off their 'newest piece of
equipment, an EC-130 heli-
copter
The new aircraft is lighter
than thi ,current one and
roomier. "eire is a one-per-
son street 6er inside which
slides easily' for quick evacua-


tion and enough room for a
four-member crew.
Besides serving Sumter
County, Wildwood's Life Net
base also covers Lake and
parts :f Marion County and
assists in Citrus and Pasco,
which makes base location
important
Dr. William Sheen, aviation
base manager, said the deci-
sion to move operations to
Wildwood was primarily
made because of the large
concentration of people in the
north end of the county.
He said the response time
to the north end wasn't what
they wanted it to be and
"there wasn't as great a need
in the south end."
He said the response time
to The Villages, as well as to

Artists gather to

AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Something a bit out of the
ordinary was going on at
American Legion Post 101 in
Bevilles Corner on Friday,
March 4. Joe Capporelli, of
Edward Jones Investments,
was hosting an Art Show and
Tell in which local., artists
showcased their work includ-
ing stained glass, needlepoint,
woodworks, oil and acrylic
painting, and pen and ink
works.
"I had a lot of artists in my
midst and didn't even know
it," said .Capporelli. He said
the idea for this get-together
sprung from his monthly cof-
fee club, where he meets with
various people, mostly clients,
from around the area.
"This month we joined
forces with the Art Guild," he
said, adding many of his
clients are artists. He found
there is a lot of local interest
in for art and incorporated it
with one of his monthly meet-
ings.
About 50 people attended

art displays where artists got

Artists enjoyed the event, as
evident by their expressions
of thanks and smiles on their
faces as they were leaving late

introduced for the first time to

neighborhoods. Pat Oelslager,
president of Sumter County

ways to deal with the ever-.
growing deficit created by,
landfill expenses.
The county faces a multi-
tude of concerns involving the'
landfill and its recycling
operation meant to convert
household garbage into a
usable compost product..
As commissioners discuss
options, landfill employees
are growing anxious about
the future of their jobs. More
than 20 people work at the
landfill.

Leading the discussion is
Chester Bradshaw, a local
environmentalist
Bradshaw said he expects
other concerned local leaders
will also provide information
related to landfill activities.
Bradshaw said he is hope-
ful that a way can be found to
promote the recycling
process at the landfill. Topics
will include: ways to remove
glass from compost material
and ways to sell compost.
The meeting is scheduled
to begin at 7 p.m. March 10 in

in the communities are where
the patients are," he said,
adding that it's come a long
way since air ambulances
were stationed at hospitals.
Wildwood Mayor Ed Wolf
also had a few words to say
about the new base.
"I just look forward to a long
relationship with Life Net,"
Wolf said. "I couldn't think of a
better place than Wildwood
(for the air ambulance base)."
The base has four pilots,
who work in 12-hour shifts,
and 14 medical employees. A
Life Net crew consists of a
pilot, a paramedic, and a
flight nurse.
Life Net provides service 24
hours a day, seven days a
week

But, to get those ordinances
in place, the commission has
authorized County Attorney
Randall Thornton to proceed
with the hearing notices to
extend the moratorium for 10
more days.
That was Thornton's sugges-
tion to make sure the county
does not leave a window of a
couple of days in which a
business could become estab-
lished.,
The gist of the problem is
that both a moratorium exten-
sion and the land use regula-
tions require two hearing
processes with at least 10 days
between each hearing.
County Commissioners got
the draft of the proposed ordi-
nances Tuesday night. Their
consultant in the matter
would not be available until
March 29. But, the current
moratorium extension ends
April 10.
So, the board will need to
consider the moratorium
later this month and appar-
ently will need to have a spe-
cial meeting for that on April
5, according to Thornton.
Then, the commission can
consider the actual regula-
tions on March 29 and at a
second hearing on April 12.

Edwards named Sumter teacher of the year


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

While the name Bebop
,Brown may not mean much to
some, for students in Teasha
Edwards' eighth grade
American History class he
may have meant the differ-
ence between fumbling
through the course uninter-
ested and actually enjoying
and benefiting from it.
Edwards' unique teaching
methods are one reason why
fellow teachers nominated
her for South Sumter Middle
School Teacher of the Year,
and the school board later
chose her at the district level
from winners at the other
schools.
"Basically Bebop Brown is a
neutral character," she said,
explaining that through his
narrative students learn about
both sides of conflicts and
events in American history,


Teasha Edwards' unique teaching methods are
one reason why fellow teachers nominated her
for Teacher of the Year


while speaking in what
Edwards calls "student lingo."
Of course he doesn't actually
speak, and he's not a cartoon
character-it's just a way for
Edwards to teach, and give
assignments while piquingthe
students' interest. "That's
their number one question.
What's Bebop doing today?"
she said.
When Edwards invented
the character several years
ago, she didn't know it would
help her to earn such a high
honor.
"I was in shock, definitely in
awe that I won it," the 31-year-
old said. "The other two (final-
ists) are outstanding people."
SSMS Principal Christina
McKinney was understand-
ably proud of her former stu-


dent, fellow teacher, and cur-
rent member of staff.
*"Everybody (at the school) felt
like Teasha deserved it and
would represent the school
very well," she said. "She's a
very positive force school-
wide."
A graduate ofthe University
of Central Florida, Edwards
came back to Sumter schools,
where she was a student from
fourth to twelfth grade. She's
spent her entire 10 years of
teaching at SSMS, where she's
been praised for her leader-
ship roles and help in the
after school program.
It's not for recognition or
praise, though, that Edwards
does what she does. She said
if she weren't teaching, she
doesn't know what she would


want to do. "I love my job," she
said.
Edwards also said all of the
school employees deserve
credit for educating Sumter's
students.
"It's not just me, it's every-
body-we're all a team and we
work together," she said.
Edwards, as well as finalists
Chris McKinney from
Bushnell Elementary and
Lynn Thomas from Webster
Elementary, were all honored
at a ceremony at the March 1
school board meeting.
Also recognized were teach-
ers of the year from the other
schools: Benachoice
Caruthers, Karen VandeMark,
Danielle Sanders, Steve
Doggett, Molly Everett, Jane
Hunter, and Mike Callaway.
In the coming months,
Edwards will be in contention
for Florida Teacher of the
Year award. fi

Brown-Waite announces $20 million in transportation funds


U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite
(FL-5) announced that $20 mil-
lion in federal funding for local
5th District highway upgrades
and expansions was included
in the House version of the six-
year highway-funding bill. H.R.
3, the Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (TEA-
LU) passed the House
Transportation Committee by
voice vote.
"Twenty million in federal
funds for Florida's 5th District
will not only improve our trans-


portation infrastructure, but
will create high-paying and
quality jobs for hundreds of
area residents," said Rep.
Brown-Waite. "These six proj-
ects will improve.access to the
most populated and rapidly
expanding counties in my dis-
trict. From the contractors and
engineers who draw road
plans, to the truckers and con-
struction workers who carry
and lay the asphalt local
workers in my district will win
as a result of these highway


projects."
One unresolved issue that
will be dealt with during House
floor debate is the improve-
ment of Florida's rate of return
on its contribution to the high-
way trust fund. Under current
law, all donor states are guar-
anteed 90.5 cents returned for
every dollar sent to the high-,
way trust fund, covering 95% of
the fund. House
Transportation Committee
Chairman Don Young (R-AK)
has pledged to work with


House Democrats and
Republican leadership to
.come to a resolution guaran-
teeing Florida a better rate of
return before H.R. 3 comes up
for a vote.
"I look forward to the bill
coming to the floor of the
House next week," continued
Rep. Brown-Waite. "Florida's
Congressional delegation will
be working hard to ensure that
Florida receives its fair share
of the Highway Trust Fund and
a better rate of return. Once


the final details are ironed out,
I anticipate a speedy resolu-
tion in the House and over-
whelming support on final pas-
sage."
The $20 million in federal
funds will be allocated to five
major highway projects and
one bus project in Hernando,
Lake, Levy, Marion, Pasco and
Sumter Counties.
List of 5th District Projects
included in the House
Transportation Committee
passed legislation:


Lake County,
$7,000,000 will be. used to
upgrade S.R. 50 from U.S. 27 in
Clermont to the Orange County
line. S.R. 50 services many
Lake County constituents who
commute to the Orlando area.
Sumter County
$2,000,000 -will be used to
upgrade U.S. 301, the major
highway parallel to 1-75. The
road will be expanded to four
lanes between C.R. 475 and
Jarrell, Avenue in Sumter
County.

B beginning Friday, March 11,
the Sumter County Fair
opens its gates to nine days
of entertainment, activi-
ties and adventures.
The fair starts at 5 p.m.
on Friday and continues
through Saturday, March
19. It's nine days packed
full of fun and entertain-
ment.
Sumter's youngsters
really are what the fair's P .*
all about Sure there are
plenty of activities for v-
adults, but the kids are B
the ones 'that are the REI
focus of fair organizers. s
The annual fair pro-
vides a real opportunity for stu-
dents involved in both 4-H and
FFA to compete in livestock com-
petitions. With a variety of live-
stock shows and sales planned at
the fair, patrons get to see the
results of the youngsters' hard
work during the past year to pre-
pare their animals for show and
for sale.
This year's fair is also packed
full of entertainment. There are
singers, dancers, pageants and
plenty of amusement rides and a
midway full of games and a variety
of food to keep the whole family
busy.


Azaleas in Florida bloom from late
February to early April. Many culti-
vars grow well in North. and Central
Florida, but only a few are recom-
mended for South Florida. Central
Florida is that area from Leesburg
south to Punta Gorda and Fort Pierce.
North Florida is from Pensacola to
Jacksonville and
south to Ocala. If
you have culti-
vars from a state
further north it
may give a spo-
radic flowering if
it grows at all.
Our warm winter
temperatures my "
not give enough
chilling for
northern er
hybrids. With '*
over 800 selections one may choose
from, about one fourth of these are
best for Florida. Azaleas belong to the
genus Rhododendron.
Flowers start to bloom with spring
growth. The flower buds develop in
late summer and fall, so pruning
should be done shortly after flower-
ing. The bud dormancy is usually bro-
ken by exposures below 50 degrees
Fahrenheit for 4 to 8 weeks followed
by warm temperatures. Sporadic
flowering is more common in Central
Florida due to greater temperature
fluctuation. Exposure to early morn-
ing sun after a 4ard freeze will make
those plants susceptible to cold
injury. The rapid thawing and freez-
ing'of twigs and branches my result in
bark splitting. The death of these
branches my not occur until weeks
after the injury.
Azaleas like filtered sunlight, such
as that found in partial shade under
pine trees or spaced between hard-


For.thrill seekers, there are two
nights of fast-paced demolition
derby events and some amazing
feats as draft horses line
up to entertain the
crowds.
Whatever your inter-
est, the fair has some-
thing to keep you enter-
tained.
But more importantly,
S"" it's a great opportunity
to mingle with friends
and get to know Sumter
County a little bit better.
oB A special Sumter
HMAN County Fair section is
-- included in this week's
issue of the Sumter County Times.
It is a guide to fair events and
activities. We hope you enjoy the
section and more importantly, the
fair.
Also, look for our special section
after the fair featuring the win-
ners from various pageants and
events during fair week The sec-
tion will'be included in the April 7
edition of the Times.
In the meantime, get out to the
fair and let the Sumter County
Fair Board know that you appreci-
ate their efforts to bring Sumter
County a fun and enjoyable coun-
ty fair.


wood trees. Azaleas are very shallow
rooted shrubs. The soil should be well
drained, with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5.
Watering of new plants is necessary
during extended dry periods, but
when established, watering can be
done every 7 to 10 days. Wet the soil to
a depth of 14 to 18 inches.
Use a light
application of a
.... good b quality
t Azalea fertilizer
right after bloom-
ing has stopped,
(usually April), in'
June, and in
September Apply
a double. handful
or approximately
pound to a
mature size plant
A Bloom-buster
fertilizer applied at the first sight of
flowering will benefit the quality and
size of flowers.
The worst enemy of the Azaleas is
the Azalea Lace Bug. It lives on the
underside of the leaves and can be
controlled with the proper insecticide
spray.
Plant clinics are held at the exten-

surely follow in his father's path and
through the efforts of Cheryl, his
mother, and Brooke, his sister, and his
Aunt Lita, the flame will glow again.
Other family will add their support
The Sumter County community will
also support them. One such tribute is
to name the new Hospice House in
Sumterville after Lane. I believe he
would be so proud.
A father leaves a great legacy to his
children. Lane took that legacy and
ran with it Surely Justin will, too.
The Hospice House is very much
needed in Sumterville. Through a gra-
cious donation of land from three
business leaders the dream is under-
way. Now we all have an opportunity
to participate on Dedication Day,
April 2, the first Saturday in April.
The Hospice program in Lake and
Sumter is under the able leadership
of Executive Director Ted Williams It
is now one of the largest in the state.
This is just one more fine endeavor
in South Sumter County. The dream
goes on. |i

New anti-drug group holds meeting


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer
Some Sumter residents are
getting tired of drug activity in
their area. Such residents
include Marjorie Sanders and
her husband, Bill Sanders.
Marjorie Sanders, a patrol
officer with the Webster
Police Department, said she
got tired of seeing and hearing
about so much illegal drug
activity in the area.
They started a group they're
calling Sumter PRIDE


(Partnering Resources for
Interactive Drug Education),
and their goal is to reduce
drug and alcohol abuse in the
community. "I feel there is a
need for a more active pre-
vention program," she said.
The first PRIDE meeting
was held on Wednesday,
March 2, a meeting they felt
would help them judge how
much interest and involve-
ment there would be in the
county. While only about a
dozen people showed up at
the Bushnell Community
Center that afternoon, Bill


Sanders said he felt encour-
aged. He said they're planning
a kickoff meeting for some-
time near the end of April.
Representatives from the
Sumter Sheriff's Department,
Bushnell Police, faith-based
groups, and former educators
were among those who came
to the meeting.
Senta Goudy, the Florida
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Association's prevention
director, told those at the
meeting she was glad to know

they'll set up a booth, and set a

ings.
Mrs. Sanders also said the

"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-town 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!

Grace NOTES



Everyone's related to someone


Here's how I'm related
to Johnny Ramone,
the late lead guitarist
for the punk rock group The
Ramones.
My father-in-law's cousin
Frank was Johnny Ramone's
father. Their moth-
ers were sisters. If I
calculate that cor-
rectly, that makes
Ramone and my
father-in-law sec-
ond cousins and
him and my hus-
band third cousins.
I'm Ramone's third
cousin by marriage. .
My kids are
Ramone's fourth .
cousins.
We didn't know NAI
that until recently KENI
when my husband
took his Aunt Pat -
who's really another of his
dad's cousins, although we
call her '"Aunt" down to
south Florida to visit with
Aunt Kathy, who was married
to Eddie (Pat's brother), who
was also Ramone's cousin.
Ramone was not Johnny's
birth name; it was John
Cummings. Pat, Eddie, Jimmy,
Frank and Patrick were all
Cummings. Some of the
Cummings got together at
Aunt Kathy's house, and as
families often do when they
get together, they talked about
family stuff.
- Aunt Kathy had a newspa-
per article cut out about
Johnny Ramone's death last
Sept 15, which my husband
thought odd. Aunt Kathy's not
.our typical punk rock fan.
, So, Barry asked about it.
that's how he found out about
he family connection and the
season no one ever knew
about it. It seems some of the
family didn't approve of punk
inusic and so no one talked
Bout the family punk
) I'm not now and never have
lbeen a punk music fan, but my
pungest daughter is, and
When she learned that she's a


N
N


distant Ramone, she thought
it was the coolest news she
had heard in a long time. She
said she was going to go out
and get a Ramones' T-shirt.
She said she couldn't wait to
tell all her friends.
As for me and my
husband, we sat up
late the other night
surfing the
Internet, reading
all about our
famous relative. We
now know that, as a
kid, he played in a
~ : band called the
Tangerine Puppets.
He was a Three
sAh Stooges and a New
York Yankees fan.
IcY He acted in the
E EDY movie "Rock and
Roll High School"
and was in an


episode of "The Simpsons."
Before we knew we were all
cousins, we didn't particularly
care. Johnny Ramone? Who's
he (ho-hum)? But now, we
want to know more. After all,
he was part of our family.
It's funny how that works.
It's like how it is with knowing
God. One day you're thinking,
"Yeah, yeah. God, Jesus,
church, blah, blah, blah.
What's for lunch?" And the
next you find yourself being
drawn by his Spirit, wanting
to know. But more than want-
ing to know "information
about," you want to know him.
You want to know by experi-
ence.
It's one of those holy mys-
teries, a "how-can-this-be?"
You can't explain how or why
God chooses to move in a per-
son's life, how or why he
awakens a person's desire to
know him.
You want to know a famous
rock star relative because you
think that makes you cool. But
wanting to know God? You
can't even see him. He's never
been inducted to the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.
Tony Campolo, an earthy,


edgy preacher and university
professor, says when he was a
tough teenager he hated
Sunday evening church
because when the pastor
would ask if anyone had a
favorite hymn, Mrs. Kilpatrick
always called out, "Page 111
in the Tabernacle Hymn
book!"
Page 111 was "In the
Garden," and at 16, Campolo
didn't want to be singing about
how "He (Jesus) speaks and
the sound of his voice is so
sweet ...." But now that he's
part of God's family, he loves
"Page 111." He loves getting to
know God through the pages
of the Bible.
"It's an incredible book," he
says. "When you read it, you
- not only read words, you meet
theauthor ... God himself."
If you ever hear Tony
Campolo speak about God and
see his eyes well up with tears
when he does, you know that
he knows God. He speaks with
passion about the one he calls
Father. You do that with fami-
ly members you know and
love.
I never met Johnny
Ramone, so I never knew him
(and if you ever catch me say-'
ing I did you'll know I would
be lying). But I do know God.
Better than that, he knows me.
And because he does I want to
know him more. I want to
know him by experience, to
recognize his voice, his foot-
steps, the sound of his heart-
beat. I want to know, truly
know.
After all, we're family

Statutes before the deadline for filing a petition. The proce-
dures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below,
A person whose substantial interests are affected by the

tive proceeding (hearing) under sections 120.569 and
120.57 of the Florida Statutes. The petition must contain
the information set forth below and must be filed (received

agency action may tile a petition within fourteen days of re-
ceipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication.

The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the appli-
cant at the address indicated above at the time of filing.
The failure of any person to file a petition within the appro-
priate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person's '
right to request an administrative determination (hearing)
under sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes.
Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by
another party) wil be only at the discretion of the presiding

the Department's action is based shall state that no such
facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same in-
formation as set forth above, as required by rule
28-106.301.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to
formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means
that the Department's final action may be different from the
position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose substan-
tial interests will be affected by any such final decision of
the Department have the right to petition to become a party
to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set
forth above.
Mediation under section 120.573 of the Florida Statutes is
not available for this proceeding.

Sumter first-grader ranks top in state


Florida Writes! evidently
has nothing on seven-year-old
Micah Lanham.
After all, the first grader
took third place in the WEDU
and Florida Lottery spon-
sored "Eat Up the Fun" com-
petition.
He's in Lynn Thomas' first
grade class at Webster
Elementary School.
"His teacher inspired him
to participate in the contest,"
wrote his mom Darlene, who
notes his story was titled
"Pepper Goes to the Fair."
"Micah has been in my first
grade class all year. He is
inquisitive and has a wild
imagination. He is extremely
verbal and loves to tell stories.
I got a notice in my mailbox
about the contest and told the
children in my class about it,"
said teacher Lynn Thomas.
Slated for the Florida State
Fair, the contest was called
"Eat up the Fun!"
To build some background
knowledge for the kids,
Thomas asked second-grade
teacher Nicole Turner to
share some digital pictures.'
Turner's family owns a carni-


val.
The kids looked at her pic-
tures of rides and food ven-
dors, sampled some cotton
candy and then played some
carnival learning games.
"I wanted Micah to be able
to participate because I enjoy
his writing so much. Micah
stayed in from physical educa-
tion to work on his story and
illustrations a great sacrifice
for a first grader," Thomas
notes.
"The idea came quick for
Micah. He wanted to go to the
fair in his story. I asked whom
he would like to take to the
fair with him. He knew right
away...Pepper his dog.
The family has two minia-
ture Doberman pincers.
She told him that dogs
aren't allowed at' the fair, but
without hesitation, Micah had
a solution. He said, "they are
if they're invisible!" which
sent Thomas into a fit of
laughter.
"Instead of taking my advice
and leaving the dog at home,
he made this little dog the
main character! Micah knows
how to be an overcome!"


The work and challenges
continued during brain-
storming sessions at the
school, Micah learned that it
helps direct the story if the
character has a problem to
solve.
"In Micah's story, Pepper
gets away from him and gets
into all kind of trouble at the
fair. Micah finally finds him at
the hot dog stand, when he
sees hot dogs disappearing
and the hot dog man jumping
up and down hopping mad!
The story is fun and creative."
Thomas said she laughed
through the whole thing.
I can't wait to read what
Pepper the invisible dog will
get into next!"
He used my electronic the-
saurus to look up what we call
sparkle words! Those fancy
fun adjectives that helped his
story come alive."
"He imagined it was really
happening," Thomas pointed
out.
"It's too bad Pepper couldn't
go with Micah to the fair to
accept his award! Micah is
one of those students who
make teaching such a joy. He


is enthusiastic and his eyes
light up like little sparklers
when he has an idea to share.
You'll be hearing great things
about this young man for
years to come!"
"I've been following Mica's
progress since he was a little
boy. I was hoping to be fortu-
nate enough to teach him in
first grade. He has such a
sharp sense of humor, which
is usually not so well devel-
oped until an older age.
"Micah used magic markers
and crayons for his original
illustrations. He took notes
and made sketches of the pho-
tographs from Mrs. Turner's
carnival pictures and used
them for illustration ideas in
his story."
He even learned how .to
make the book cover with the
binding machine in the school
library.
The 2005 writing and illus-
tration contest included com-
petition for various ages, up to
fifth grade, but Micah took on
other kids from kindergarten
to second grade and brought
home the third place honor.
The contest was open to all

garten through fifth, whether
they were public, private or
home-schooled students.
Out of the many entries for
the kindergarten through sec-
ond grade category, Micah was
chosen as one of the five final-
ists.


He and the other children

He took third place in his

Never mind your politics:

MMA drug law is bad


As both primary political
parties head to the road
to propose and expose
the benefits of Social Security
reform, the cost of the new
Medicare Modernization,
Improve-ment and Prescription
Drug Act of 2003 (MMA) spirals
to incredible amounts.
In the summer -of 2003, I
wrote that if approved as indi-
cated after the June congres-
sional votes, MMA would
exceed more than $1 trillion
during a 10-year period. The
proposal, after six months of
great, actually little, compro-
mise, was passed in November
and signed into law in
December of that year. It was a


10-year $395 billion law. Two
months after the bill was signed
into law, its cost jumped some
$150 billion.
Depending upon whose fig-
ures you believe, and the
method of calculation, the cost
of MMA is approaching $1.5 tril-
lion. The administration sets
the most recent projected cost
at $725 billion. Kindly note, the
keyword is "projected."
This bill barely passed the
lower chamber of Congress, and
then only after much arm twist-
ing, many promises to house
members and far too much
wheeling and dealing. The pas-
sage and the spiraling cost is
the blame of all: Republicans,


Democrats, AARP and any
other individual or entity that
believed this prescription bill
was even near being actuarially
correct.
This legislation
would never have
passed had members
of either party truly
realized its cost It was
Republican legisla-
tion, with a "New ,,
Deal" flavor, and I can
tell you that at least 30
members of that party
would not have voted
yea. I find it difficult to Daniel
believe that any Rohan'
responsible fiscal con-
servative would have
given their OK, if it had been
presented as a 10-year $500 bil-
lion legislation. As far as AAR P
and its director, Mr. Novelli, the
legislation had not even been
written when Novelli gave his


I


approval. And, for the most
part, those members of both
houses who gave their vote in
favor of this legislation either
knew little about pri-
vate insurance or they
i. .. had a different agen-
da,
Also, the very
S strange part of this law
is that after 15 months
Ig of its becoming law, it
is still being written!
So, what is going on?
The first and the
major problem with
projected cost were
easy to spot. The legis-
lation was based on a
10-year period that
began in the year 2004.
Yet, the prescription drug
portion of the law did not begin
until 2006!
How can one actuarially cal-
culate a cost when the major


cost was of no consideration in
the years 2004 and 2005?
And here lies the rub. Let us
not permit our "elected protec-
tors" from approving any other
legislation that is based on
incorrect time frames, and
especially allow legislation that
self-executes a work in
progress, that is presented as
"complete" legislation.
The second obvious problem
with MMA is that no one knows
what the private sector will
charge you for your "benefit."
MMA prohibits Congress
from any negotiation directly or
otherwise with price controls of
drug manufacturers or private
insurers that will benefit most
from this law.
How or even why would
Congress cede such power to
the private sector?
The higher projected costs
are predicated upon the gov-


ernment's movement of the
time frame to the true one, a 10-
year frame that begins in the
year 2006, when the costly bene-
fit actually begins.
The differences of the fluctu-
ating cost are based upon a
number of factors, the primary
one being the reduced expendi-
ture of dual beneficiaries (those
who have both Medicare and
Medicaid, about some 7 million
beneficiaries) and the premium
cost to you.
Folks, I care not about your
personal political beliefs: This
is a bad and costly law for all
aging Americans!
Keep my green tea warm, and
I will talk to you next week.
