Adult business files complaint


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

The owners of X-Mart, a sex-
ually-oriented business near
Wildwood, are firing back
against State Attorney Brad
King and Sumter Sheriff Bill
Farmer for pending court
action based on last year's
seizure of videos from the
store alleged to be obscene
and the arrest of the business
operator on obscenity
charges.-
Late in February, X-Mart


The complaint claims that. ."the prosecution and arrest of Plaintiff Evgueni Souliaguine is being
brought with bad faith motivation as its goal is not only to eliminate Plaintiffs store 'X-Mart' but to
send a chilling message to others who wish to engage in First Amendment freedoms and rights in
Sumter County that they also will be subjected to prosecution..."


and its director Evgueni
Souliaguine filed a complaint
with the federal court in Ocala
claiming that both King and
Farmer are denying rights
provided under the First and
Fourteenth Amendments of


the U.S. Constitution because
the business sells and distrib-
utes "...constitutionally pro-
tectdd sexually oriented mate-
rials films, DVDs, literature
and products..."
The complaint requests the


court to prevent King and
Farmer from taking legal
actions ". ..that are or will
cause irreparable injuries to
Plaintiffs' Federal and State
ConstitutiOnal rights."
A hearing has been sched-


uled for Friday, March 25, in
the U.S. Courthouse in Ocala.
Currently, X-Mart is facing
court action following an
October 2004 investigation by
the Sumter County Sheriff's
Office that resulted in the


seizure of several videos
believed to be obscene and
Souilaguine's arrest.
Over several weeks, Sumter
deputies entered the store,
purchasing four DVDs and
videos that were then taken to
Circuit Court Judge Hale
Stancil who ruled that the
material was obscene.
On Oct. 13, 2004, King filed
one count of sale of obscene
material against Souliaguine
for sale of one of the items,

Four days of testimony
ended last week with a 6-
member jury finding a self-
:employed tree trimmer from
Lakeland guilty of attempt-
ing to murder a Sumter
County sheriff's deputy in
2003..
It took the
jury about
rolur hours
to find Rian
Green, 35,f
guilty of
attempted
first-degree
ILmurder of a

elude a law enforcement offi-
cer.
Green was found not guilty
to two other charges: aggra-
vated assault with a firearm
and carjacking while armed.
Green is scheduled to be
sentenced at 1:30 p.m. on
Tuesday, March 22, before
Circuit Court Judge William
Hallman. He faces a possible
life imprisonment sentence.
Last Thursday afternoon, a
four-day trial end for Green,
accused of the October 2003
shooting of Sumter County
Deputy Edward Fritz.
Fritz was shot two times in
the upper body during a con-
frontation with Green.
After the trial, Fritz said he
was glad that Green "is off


the streets.
"I felt that justice was
served," Fritz said.
At the time of the shooting,
Fritz was a rookie deputy. He
had been with the Sumter
County Sheriff's Office about
seven months when the
shooting happened. It was
his first job in law enforce-
ment
The shooting happened on
the evening of Oct 9 when lie
stopped a car on county
Road 656, in Croom-a-
Coochee.
Fritz attempted to stop
Green for not ,having a
license tag, according to
police reports. A chase
ensued with Green finally
crashing his vehicle into
woods on 115th Lane.
As Fritz was attempting to
handcuff Green, he was shot
with a small caliber hand-
gun.
Green then fled on foot and
stopped a, couple as they
were driving along the road,
according to reports. Green
forced the couple from their
vehicle and then took off only
to abandon their car a short
time later at a dead-end
road.
Green then fled into w oods
where a nightlong manhunt
began.
In the meantime, Fritz
managed to walk to a nearby
home and 911 was called to
assist the officer.
A major manhunt was con-
ducted to locate Green but
law enforcement officers
were unsuccessful in appre-
hending him.
Green was arrested on Oct.
30,2003 in Texas by members
.of the U.S. Marshal Service's
Fugitive Task Force.

Two business owners, one
in Wildwood and one from
Tavares, have made plans to
take their operations to the
Willard Peebles Industrial
Park in Wildwood.
Their plans were brought
before the Wildwood City
Commission during a regular
meeting on March 14.
The city-owned property
has gotten considerable atten-
tion lately, so Wildwood City
Commissioners agreed it's a
good time to increase the land
prices there. After some
deliberation, they decided to
increase the current price of
$40,000 per acre by 20 percent
to $48,000 and review the
issue once a month at regular
meetings.
Considering the value of
comparable properties near-
by, Manny Pesco said, "as far
as improved property is con-
cerned, it's a deal." When
asked by the commission, he
cited prices of similar proper-
ties nearby, which have sold
or have been listed for more
than twice the amount per
acre he will pay. Pesco plans
to purchase one parcel and
construct an 8,000-square-foot
auction house. His business,


Wildwood Antique Mall and
Auction, is currently located
on Main Street in a, 3,000-
square-foot building.
The other business, AACC,
Inc., provides commercial
concrete services like laser
grading, foundations, and flat-
work AACC President Butch
Kendall said he will be bring-
ing about 40 skilled employ-
ees with his business into
Wildwood. Commissioners
said the city created the
industrial park around 30
years ago to bring jobs to
Wildwood, but according to
City Manager Jim Stevens,
there wasn't always this much
interest in it. "It moved slow
for a long time, but it's picked
up in the last three years."
Commissioners seemed to
believe these two businesses
will benefit the area. Pesco,
like Kendall, is planning to
bring'jobs into the city. He
expects his current staff of
five to grow to 12 after the
move.
Stevens said altogether the
industrial park is made up of
about one hundred acres and
there are currently 11 busi-
nesses. Only ten acres com-
prising three parcels are left,
and of that Stevens said the
city may have to use some or
all of one unsold parcel 'for
storm water retention.

said the fire department has
received $1.2 in federal fund-
ing, not including what was
distributed as a result of hur-
ricanes last year, since incor-
porating.
"The purpose (of the grant)
is to bring programs into
Sumter County for fire pre-
vention we haven't been able
to fund," Gulbrandsen told the
board.
With this aid, he said, the
fire department will be able to
purchase a limited number of
smoke detectors for the hear-
ing impaired, which are "a lit-
tle bit on the costly side to

answer some questions about
themselves and show direction
and compassion in their lives
by expressing their future
plans and tell about charity
work they've done.

Rodges and Miss Teen Sumter
County Calah Carmichael gave
their thanks to all who were'
involved in the pageants over
the past year, as well as to their
family and friends. Rodges
even gave the winners a few
words of encouragement. "I
hope you have as much fun as I


buy," according to
Gulbrandsen.
The grant also provides for
up to 25,000 regular smoke
detectors to be distributed to
residents in the Sumter
County Fire District.
Additionally, the department
will be able to bring fire edu-
cation to specific populations,
such as those 65 and older,
and hopefully prevent fires
and related deaths.
The grant requires the
county to pay 10 percent of the
full amount of the award,
equal to $9,082, which com-
missioners approved.

thing," she said.

up Carolyn Chandler; fourth

according to the complaint
A plea agreement was
offered to Souliaguine by the
state attorney's office with the
condition that he "forfeit busi-
ness license," the complaint
states.
The complaint claims that
even if he desired to accept
the plea offer, Souliaguine
does not hold the business
license.
"Defendant King's office
requirement of 'forfeit busi-
ness license' shows that this
prosecution is brought not for
the purpose of prosecuting
obscenity but rather, as indi-
cated by (Farmer and King's)
own statements, for the pur-
pose of closure of (X-Mart),"
according to the complaint.


When X-Mart opened for
business last summer, it was
met with strong opposition
from local leaders. Concern
about the business was so
strong that a special meeting
was held in July 2004 at the
First Baptist Church of
Wildwood with local leaders
to discuss potential problems
with X-Mart. Both Farmer and
King attended the meeting.
"...The investigation into (X-
Mart) was instituted because
of complaints by citizens who
were upset that the store was
in existence, rather than them
having actually viewed any
matter in the store that they
believed to be obscene," the
complaint states.
The complaint claims
that..."the prosecution and
arrest of Plaintiff Evgueni
Souliaguine is being brought
with bad faith motivation as
' its goal is not only to eliminate
Plaintiff's store 'X-Mart' but
to send a chilling message to


others who wish to engage in
First Amendment freedoms
and rights in Sumter County
that they also will be subject-
ed to prosecution..."
The complaint maintains
that unless the court takes
action, "Plaintiffs are in fear
that...Defendants will contin-
ue to proceed with their
unlawful actions, including
additional arrests, searches
and seizures and interruption
of Plaintiffs' legitimate busi-
ness activities that will cause
Plaintiffs' loss profits, further
expenses to defend against
pending and future criminal
prosecutions and institute
appropriate and necessary
appellate proceedings, a sus-
pension or revocation of
license to operate and other
monetary damages..."
The complaint also seeks an
undetermined amount of
financial compensation for
the costs associated with the
pending court action.

,Sumter County
,Solid Waste Facility
. Several years now, I have lain,
"awake nights and spent weekends,
wondering and worrying how we
would get our workload done. It is my
Ojob and responsibility to see that the
"operations of the Solid Waste Facility
jare productive. It is damn near impos-
,sible to complete a job when your
,department has to borrow equipment
'from another department because
ours is worn out and continuously
,under repair. Our buildings are too
,small, they were never built the size
they were recommended to sustain
,the growth that Sumter County is
undergoing. This practice has been
"going on since my employment began
with Sumter County in the Solid
SWaste department
q The Solid Waste department has
been given equipment previously
"worn out by other departments, leav-
.ing us with two options. Costly repair
aor an incomplete job. Every piece of
'equipment at the Solid Waste Facility
.runs steady during operating hours,
"when it is already worn out to begin
'with, you're already backing up, wast-
"ing time and money.
The Solid Waste Facility is operated
ya great staff. Every employee is
"dedicated and willing to step up when
needed and work until the job is done.
"They are good men and women work-
Sing hard for Sumter County. They
should be praised for their work
"instead of told how inefficiently the
'facility is run on their behalf. This has
been an ongoing struggle as long as I
havee been employed here. The build-
Sings are too small, the equipment is
,worn out, we are understaffed. This
,county is growing at an enormous
:pace; yet this facility is expected to
:keep up' and operate at an already
,overburdened capacity. No one seems
kto be listening, we continue to be put
ito the back and left out
: Currently in the news, at least two
0of the commissioners representing
rhe Villages want to shut the Solid
"Waste Facility down. This is a world
"renowned, award-winning facility;
,something Sumter County can take
Great pride in their efforts to recycle
mand preserve our community and


world. Instead, for the last 10 years
this facility has been put on the back
burner at budget time. The new.
equipment that we request in the
budget never shows up to our depart-
ment or ends up in another depart-
ment working on a pet project some-
where else. Again, Sumter County has
repeatedly approved this rapid
growth to developers; in order to keep
up with this pace, departments such
as Solid Waste must expand to incor-
porate this growth as well.
For many years, the county pay
scale has been below average. We are
currently very comparable to our sur-
rounding counties.
, Mr. Hoffman, a new commissioner
representative from The Villages, has
voiced that he would like to see a 25
percent decrease in County employee
wages and a freeze on any upcoming
raises. I would like to know what he
made an hour before he decided to
move to Florida and start messing
around with Sumter County. I love
this county and its people. I have
spent my entire life here, but I do not
like what has become of this county.
You are beginning to get a taste of
what is yet to come; before long this
entire county will be run totally by
The Villages. The citizens of Sumter
County will have to answer to The
Villages.
Mr. Hoffman can show up with his
figures on paper, but I don't believe he
knows or cares just how long it took
for the Solid Waste Facility to get to
this point I don't feel this department
has ever been important to anyone
because it is "just a dump." That is
wrong! The Sumter County Solid
Waste, Composting and Recycling
Facility is high-tech operation with
dedicated county employees working
hard for you.
If you are reading this letter, I am in
hopes that you have faith in your
county employees and make an effort
to see that this facility stays opera-
tional and attain the much needed
equipment to continue our efforts to
keep this environmentally safe facili-
ty going strong.

Mental Retardation
Awareness Month
March is national "Mental
Retardation Awareness Month."
Unaware to most, there are
approximately 170 million people
with intellectual disabilities
worldwide, and more than 7 mil-
lion in the United States, many in
our own communities.
Through Special Olympics, we
serve over one million athletes
with intellectual disabilities in
more than 160 countries providing
year-round sports training and
competition in 26 Olympic-type
summer and winter sports. Yet to
reach the millions who could ben-
efit from this program, we need
the help.of many more volunteers
and contributors.
We see the abilities not the limi-
tations of people with intellectu-
al disabilities.
This month, Special Olympics
Florida athletes traveled to
Nagano, Japan for the 2005 World
Winter Games.
The motto of the Games was
"Let's Celebrate Together," words
that Floridians seem to have
already embraced. Citizens every-
where showed their support of
these extraordinary athletes by
joining forces with Publix
Supermarkets to raise over $1.1
million dollars 'for Special
Olympics Florida in the month of
January.

This support helps make
Special Olympics a reality for
more people than ever before.
While everyone can benefit
from sports, for our athletes there
are also clinical benefits like
health and fitness and self-esteem
and greater social adjustment.
But at the end of the day, Special
Olympics is an environment
where people with intellectual
disabilities can be successful and
where parents can be proud of
their children.
That's no small feat given the
amount of prejudice and discrim-
ination that most of our athletes
face on a day-to-day basis.
By participating in Special
Olympics, people with intellectu-
al disabilities have gained the
self-confidence and social skills to
succeed both on and off the play-
ing field: individuals once
thought burdens to society are
proving themselves productive
citizens..
During "Mental Retardation
Awareness Month," if you would
like to support a movement that
celebrates differences and
embraces acceptance and under-
standing, call Special Olympics
Florida at 1-800-322-HERO (4376)
or visit us on the web at
www.sofl.org and volunteer today.
In addition, April is "National
Volunteerism Month," so get
involved! Because with your help,
everyone wins.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 2005, PAGE 5


Bushnell couple has Habitat to 1


Barbara and John Whitman stand in front of their new Bushnell home Sumter County Habitat
for Humanity helped them to acquire at a dedication ceremony on Saturday, March 12, just days
before moving In.


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Since John and Barbara
Whitman's mobile home
burned down almost two
years ago, they've been living
in a 10- by 6-foot camper they
borrowed from a relative. The
Whitmans,haven't had many
of the amenities most are
accustomed to. As of Saturday,
March 12, the contents of their
home consisted of a bed, a
small television, a microwave,
and not much else.
Now, thanks to Sumter
County Habitat for Humanity,
the couple will enjoy a newly
built 1,008-square-foot home,
something they've been work-
ing toward for the past two
years.
"We can't wait to cook a real
meal," Mrs. Whitman said as
she stood in her new kitchen
at the home dedication on
Saturday, adding that "having
a real kitchen and bath" is
what she's missed the most
during this time.
She said during 24 years of
marriage, she and her hus-
band acquired many things,
which were all lost in the fire.


"You never really know what
you had until you lose it all,"
she said. "We lost a lot of stuff,
but we gained a lot too." The
lifelong Bushnell residents
said their family helped them
to get through this difficult
time. Their mothers both live
nearby as do their children,
Justin, 22, and Amanda, 24.
At the dedication were
some of the Whitmans' family
members, as well as friends
and Habitat board members
and employees.
"It is a joyous occasion
indeed," said Executive
Director Lavon Harkins.
"This was my very first build,
so it was a Wlarning experi-
ence for me too," she said. She
led the group of about a dozen
people in prayer and song,
Bless this House, and present-
ed the Whitmans with a bible
and a hug. Since the tragedy
that led them to this event, the
Whitmans were in constant
contact with Harkins. They
spoke almost daily, sometimes
several times in one day.
The Whitmans said they
had no insurance on their
mobile home, and soon after
the fire, they contacted
Harkins. "Ms. Harkins started


thank:

immediately trying to help
us," Barbara said.
However, getting a homo
built is not an easy task Tho
Whitmans had to put huir-
dreds of hours of labor into
their house, as well as a small
down payment on the 20-yeat,
interest-free mortgage.
They had to go through a
application process, permit-
ting, and finding a home-
builder.
The waiting, work, and
hardship endured by the
Whitmans seemed well wortli-
while to them as they gazed ah
their new home during
Saturday's dedication. "This
has been a miracle," Mrs.
Whitman said. "This is whern
we'll be the rest of our lives."'
According to Harkins, thiA
was the thirteenth Habitat
home built in Sumter, and two
applications have been
approved recently. Applicants
must have inadequate hous-
ing, the ability to pay for the
mortgage, and are required to
put their own labor into build-
ing the home. Sumter County
Habitat for Humanity is a
nonprofit organization that is
funded through donations and
a Wildwood thrift store.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 2005, PAGE 7


Unlike some churches, mine
is not a dancing sort. During
worship we may be rocking
on the inside, but for the most part
we're not dancing in the
aisles. That's just our style.
The funny thing is, in the
past few years some of the
people throughout my
denomination have been
talking and writing a lot
about dancing. My pastor ..
talks a lot about dancing, '.
too. Not dancing in church, .
but dancing with God.
You might not know this NA'
about me, but I'm a dancer KaEl
- in my dreams. At 3 a.m.
when I'm sound asleep I'm
also gliding across a polished wood-
en dance floor in three-quarter,
time. I'm agile and easy, my move-
ments flowing and fluid. I'm lithe
and nimble, graceful as a gazelle.
Eat your heart out, Ginger
Rogers.
In my dreams, anyway In real
life, I trip over my feet more often
than not, even while standing still.
The one saving grace to never hav-
ing been invited to a high school
prom is that I never had to subject
myself or my prom date to my lethal
two left feet.
A few years ago I wrote a story
about being left-handed. During my
research I discovered there may be
a physiological reason for my
klutziness on the dance floor. It
seems ballroom dancing was
designed for a right-handed man
leading and a right-handed woman
following. Because I'm on the
"extreme left" end of the left-hand-
ed scale (according to a test I took),
and because it's a brain, not a feet,
thing, I have a medical excuse for
stepping on toes.
Maybe I'll ask my doctor for a
note: "To whom it may concern:
Nancy Kennedy is exempt from all
dance-related activity, including,


LN
"ss


but not limited to, the waltz, fox trot,
tango and jitterbug. And please,
whatever you do, don't let her near
the electric slide! It could be haz-
ardous to everyone's
--- health."
That might get me out of
future proms; but it won't
change my wanting to be a
graceful- dancer. Oh, to be
a dancer, full of grace!
Inside, not just in my
dreams, but in my soul, I
already am a dancer. I
Atwl move and stretch and do-
Icy si-do with ease as the
IEDY music flows through every
"" fiber of my being. Despite
my natural lack of grace, I
know I was made to dance.
I remember as a little girl, danc-
ing with my dad. He would pick me


Easter Sunday is approach-
ing. The music will be play-
ing because Jesus is risen
from the dead. He'll hold
out his hand and ask, "May
I have this dance?"


.up and twirl me around the living
room. Then I would stand on top of
his feet as he moved to the music.
"Look at me I'm dancing!" I'd
shout to no one in particular. It did-
n't matter if no one was watching; I
was dancing with my daddy who
loved me like I was a princess.
More than 40 years later, I still
long to dance. There's something
inside of me that stirs whenever I
hear the music beckon. Not just any
music, but the music of the gospel.
The music of grace.
It makes me want to run into my
Father's arms, take his lead and fol-
low, or maybe stand on his feet


while he does the dancing. I'll just
go along for the ride and shout to no
one in particular, "Look at me -
I'm dancing!" ,
I had said my church is not a
dancing church, but that's not
exactly true. We have a beautiful
blonde woman and several other
equally beautiful young girls who
sometimes do a worshipful ballet
during a Sunday service.
When they dance, I watch in awe
at their grace. That's when I remind
myself that God has given me grace,
too.
Saving grace, sufficient grace.
Sanctifying grace that changes me
from the inside out.
Grace that comes through faith in
Christ and draws me to the Cross
again, and again and again.
Grace that bids me to dance with
the Father.
"For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn the
world, but to save the world
through him," wrote the apostle
John. That all the whosoevers who
would believe in him would not
perish, but dance with him forever.
Easter Sunday is approaching.
The music will be playing because
Jesus is risen from the dead. He'll
hold out his hand and ask, "May I
have this dance?"
And even if I stay planted firmly
in my seat, in my heart I'll be danc-
ing.
Hallelujah!
Amen.

FFA has land judging competition oTeam mtesn


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Students of Wildwood and
South Sumter high schools
and middle schools made
their way down about a mile
of lime rock road to the Lake
Panasoffkee Wildlife
Management Area on Friday,
March 11, to determine the
land quality there.
The Future Farmers of
America members were
given an opportunity to do
what is normally done by soil
scientists. The Sumter
County Public Works
Department came out the day
before the event to dig four
holes measuring three feet by
six feet and 60 inches deep,
which is not required for soil
study, but was done for the
students' benefit in gaining
visual perspective.
USDA Soil Scientist
Richard Ford, USDA District
Conservationist Calvin
Hubbard and Soil and Water
Conservation District
Chairman Donald Todd were
there to help guide the stu-
dents and judge the results.
Chris Linhart of Southwest
Florida Water Management
District was also there, as
well as agriculture instruc-
tors Larry Shuyler, Susan
Swartzfager, Patty Wells, and
Joel camp.
At each of the four stations,
students concentrated on
what they'd been taught
about soil makeup and wrote
down their findings.
"They're mixing water with
the soil to see if- it sticks,"
Todd said as he watched
some of the students pouring
water out of a bottle onto the
soil and feeling its texture. "If
it doesn't have clay in it, it
falls apart. Clay content is
nutritionally advantageous,"
he said.
Overall, they spent about
two hours looking at the qual-
ity of the soil, roots, and
thinking about recorded lev-
els of such elements as cop-
per, boron, iron, and phos-
phorous.
It's an activity that involves
using all of the senses,
according to 14-year-old Jade
STipton, a, freshman 1 at
,Wildwood .High School. "It's
important. It's very interest-
ing," she said. "It's not some-
thing many people know
much about." Tipton said
she's considering a career in
real estate, for which knowl-
edge of land quality is essen-
tial. "This may come in handy


The Wildwood FFA members took most of the awards during Sumter's annual land judging. Shown from left to right (front row,

Sumter Transit announces bus routes


Sumter County Transit,
always an innovative leader
in the public transportation
industry, began new and
improved fixed bus routes on
March 15, 2005.
Transit, a department of the
Board of Sumter County
Commissioners, has been in
existence since October 1993,
and has run a deviated fixed
route since April of 1996.
A fixed route is a transit
service where vehicles run on
regular, pre-designated, pre-
scheduled routes, with no
deviation. Typically, fixed-
route service is characterized
by printed schedules or
timetables, designated- bus
stops where passengers boar


and alight, and the use of larg-
er transit vehicles.
A deviated fixed route
means the bus can deviate a
little bit off the route. This
type of transit is a hybrid of
fixed-route and demand-
response services. While a
bus passes along fixed stops
and keeps to a timetable, the
bus can vary its course
between two stops to go to a
specific location on demand.
Transit is going from run-
ning three routes to now run-
ning five routes. One of the
new routes is a circulator
route in The Villages. It will
include many shopping
opportunities, as well as med-
ical facilities. With the new


changes and additions to the
routes, Transit is traveling to
additional Sumter County
communities. They are Royal,
Continental Country Club,
Adamsville, and Croom-a-
Coochee.
Whether these extra loca-
tions. will remain on the
routes will depend on the rid-
ership from these area. Fares
to ride the deviated fixed
routes are being waived for an
introductory period as an
enticement to promote riding
the routes. Deviations will
still have a 50-cent charge.
For more information, con-
tact Pam Taylor. at Sumter
County Transit at 568-6683.


Langley awarded Florida's VitaGrant


Thomas E. Langley Medical
Center has recently been
accepted as a site for the
VitaGrant program. Jointly
sponsored by the Florida
Department of Health and the
March of Dimes, VitaGrant's
goal is to promote the use of
folic acid in women of repro-
ductive age to reduce the risk
of certain birth defects and
increase awareness of the
important of good health both
before and during pregnancy.
A key component of the


Florida VitaGrant program is
distributing multivitamins
containing the recommended
daily allowance of folic acid.
At least 450,000 bottles of mul-
tivitamins will be distributed
free to non-pregnant women
of childbearing age across the
state through a number of dis-
tribution sites.
Any non-pregnant woman
between 14 and 44 is eligible
for a free bottle of multivita-
mins. They can request them
during their visit with their


doctor at Thomas E. Langley
Medical Center. Currently,
adult medicine providers,
Healthy Start and Behavioral
Health providers are distrib-
uting the vitamins. Vitamin
distribution will continue for
the next three years or until
all of the vitamins have been
distributed.

A learning experience at turkey seminars at the Bass Pro Shops


During the past month, I
have been spending quite a bit
of. time in both the Ft.
Lauderdale and Orlando Bass
Pro Shops.
Each year in the early
spring, Don Parker from Ft.
White, my fellow Primos
Hunting Calls Pro-Staff mem-
ber here in Florida visit the
Bass Pro Shops in Florida and
conduct seminars on how to
hunt wild turkey during the
gobbler season and especially
how to successfully go after
the famous and coveted
species of Wild Turkey known
as the Osceola of which we are
so fortunate to have in abun-
dance in the central and
southern portions of our state.
Without question, the,
Osceola Wild Turkey is the
hardest and most difficult to
hunt and have long been the
early morning elusive frustra-
tion and disappointment to
many hunters who go in hot
pursuit after them each
spring yet for those of us avid
Florida Cracker gobbler
hunters who love springtime
gobbler hunting the Osceola is
our way of life.
There is absolutely no doubt
and without question the mag-
nificent and noble Osceola
Wild Turkey Gobblers are
very cunning as they well have
to be because of the type of
rough habitat and terrene in
which they spend their entire
lives in.
Here in Central Florida, we
have vast wet swamps loaded
down with towering hard-
wood hammocks teeming with
hoards of blood sucking mos-
quitoes and ticks along with
countless acres of rattlesnake
infested dense palmetto flats
and scrubs where the Osceola
yet thrives and frankly it is not
every gobbler hunter that has
the grit, determination, perse-
verance and sheer fortitude to
go after a long bearded
Osceola Gobblers in his on ter-
ritory and his own terms.
This is the major reason the
native wild turkey we have in
central and south Florida is
properly named "Osceola" in
honor of the great and noble
Seminole Indian war -chief
that was never defeated in


battle as he made the rigorous
unforgiving Florida swamps
his place of solitude.
Sadly, the only way the great
Indian Chief Osceola was
eventually captured was by
deception and the many lies
of our forked tongued so-
called great leaders in
Washington during that
shameful period of our histo-
ry.
Today, many of our Osceola
Gobblers are still shamefully
killed by using bait and other
illegal methods instead of
"going after them in a fair
chase manner but I reckon
those so called mighty gobbler
hunters can be proud of their
unlawful method of hunting
and hopefully they will either
be caught and arrested even-
tually and until that time take
a deal of pride in their illu-
sions of being a mighty and
self pro-claimed great turkey
hunter.
The Great Chief Osceola
lived on some the very same
islands located deep in the
mighty Wahoo swamp border-
ing the Withlacoochee River
where each spring a few seri-
ous and efficient hunters still
go after the native Flofida
wild turkey.
These are the same places
that the namesake of Chief
Osceola none other than the
Florida Wild Turkey thrived
back then living right adjacent
with the mighty Seminole
Chief his family and his small
band of fearless warriors
where the Florida wild turkey
now properly named the
Osceola still makes his home
until this very day. Both Chief
Osceola and the native
Florida swamp turkey were
extremely efficient in eluding
their enemies and both were
more than capable of escap-
ing those pursuing them.
The Osceola wild turkey is
not nearly as vocal with his
gobbling as his cousins of the
north and west and in fact
with the exception of gobbling
on the roost around the break
of day many Osceola gobblers.
have learned to keep their
mouth shut tight during the
day light hours.
This is a major reason that


Primos Pro staff member Don Parker demonstrating turkey call at the Orlando Pass Pro Shop.


an Osceola gobbler is so diffi-
cult to hunt by gobbler
hunters from other state. Most
of the Eastern Gobbler and
especially the ones out west
gobble their fool heads off all
day long and well-trained
monkey could hunt and kill
most of those gobblers.
When you go after an
Osceola in the deep wet
swamps of Florida you had
better be well prepared and
ready to take then on in their
own terms and in their territo-
ry. All of the fancy turkey call-
ing to them will gain very little
if the hunter is not in the right
place and well prepared to sit
for hours waiting for the long
bearded and sharp spurred


Osceola to show up.
Oh yes, the gobbler has
heard the fancy calling and
knows just exactly where the
hunter is but the hunter is still
going to have to convince the
wary gobbler he is the real
thing and not a concealed
enemy waiting in ambush.
This is where absolute
patience and more patience
pays off as well as being able
to ignore the droves of mos-
quitoes buzzing around and
the thoughts of a multitude of
ticks slowing making their
way over your body.
Most of the hunters from out
of state might be pretty good
hunters in the open hard-
woods of the north but here in


the swamps and scrubs the
majority of turkey hunter can-
not adapt to the mandatory
methods necessary to get after
and finally out smart a long
bearded Osceola Gobbler.
Folks, I recently had the
wonderful opportunity to
attend a large gathering of
Christian men at the Green
Pond Baptist Church near
Polk City. This was a fantastic
fun filled day where a bunch
of fine Christian men got
together for a day of fellow-
ship and a wild game dinner.
I was invited to the gather-
ing to demonstrate some .of
the "Primos Game Calls" and I
am here to tell you all I had a
natural ball putting on my


show. I met many old friends
some of whom I had not seen
since back during the days I
use to be a Game Warden and
worked that part of the state. I
also made a heap of new ones
to boot.
Folks, I am here to tell you.;
all that it gave' me a mighty
fine feeling seeing a bunch of
loving Dads and Grand
Daddy's spending a day with -
their kids at this wholesome
and worth while event. One of ,
the pick up trucks at the gath-
ering had a bumper sticker
that read, "Take your ,kids
hunting today and you want
have hunt them tomorrow." -
Folks, you can't say it no bet-
ter than that

Plenty of personality


. Laddie is a handsome five-
year-old Collie. His wonderful
personality is just what you
would expect from the breed.
As in the classic TV show,
"Lassie," Laddie is loved by
everyone who meets him.
Loyal and brave, Collies
make wonderful pets. They are
good natured with strangers
and affectionate and gentle
with their families. The breed
is intelligent and learns quick-
ly They thrive on new chal-
lenges and diversified training
sessions.
Because of the Collie's thick
coat, a dedication to keeping
him groomed is essential. An
added bonus to grooming your
dog is that it will build a bond
of love and trust between you
and your furry companion. In
the summer months, Collies
would be much more comfort-
able in an air-conditioned envi-


ronment. If you don't mind
some hair in your house, or a
little extra vacuuming, the
reward of sharing your life
with one of these beautiful
dogs is well worth the little
extra effort.
Laddie is neutered and cur-
rent on his vaccinations.
Laddie is also heartworm posi-
tive, and currently on
Heartgard medication.
Heartworm disease is a seri-
ous health problem that can
lead to heart failure and death.
There are two paths of treat-
ment you can choose. The stan-
dard treatment of Immiticide
must be administered by your
veterinarian,. and will kill
heartworms in approximately
three months The dog must be
kept crated and calm through a
period of the treatments.
A less costly treatment is the
use of Heartgard medication.


Dr. Mounger of Bushnell
Animal Clinic has been suc-
cessful in treating dogs 5 years
of age or under with the month-
ly heartworm preventative.
The Humane Society/SPCA
of Sumter County recommends
you always consult your veteri-
narian. Learn all you can about
heartworm disease, under-
stand the options and risks.
How big is your heart? Would
you like to adopt our handsome
boy and give him the loving
home he is waiting for? Laddie
has so much love that he wants
to share. He just needs a
responsible family who will
continue to give him Heartgard
now and as a preventative
throughout his life.
E-mail the Humane
Society/SPCA at:
humane@sum.net or mail in
your request to: PO. Box 67,

North Sumter Primary is a

the tradition.
North Sumter Primary
School is a place where the
children feel accepted and
safe. They are encouraged to
do their best to excel in learn-
ing and life. The faculty and
staff show concern for one
another, and the students per-
ceive this respect. In fact, the

each other. They strive to
become the best students and
teachers they can be.
Being the new kid in a
school is never easy, but at
North Sumter Primary the
children feel accepted the
moment they walk into the
office. The first smiling face a
child meets is Mrs. Daves and
she knows the children and
their parents by name. The
office is warm and has a fami-
ly atmosphere of acceptance.
The teacher and other staff
members escort the child to
the new classroom where
he/she is warmly welcomed.
Our children are accepted for
who they are at their learning
level, and they are taught to
strive to their fullest poten-
tial.
There are many hands-on
experiences for the children
to learn from in all subject
areas. By using math manipu-
lative, planting seeds, predict-
ing the flight pattern of a
school made airplane, and
reading letter cards, students
are able to see, touch, and


Learn. The students also enjoy
field trips to Uncle Donald's
Farm, The Black Stallion,
community businesses, and
available experiences found
in and around our community.
At North Sumter Primary,
the children are able to attend
computer labs to help prepare
them for the various standard-
ize tests. The children begin
in Pre-K and Kindergarten
with the Breakthrough to
Literacy program, which rein-
forces letter recognition,
sounds, vocabulary, and read-
ing.
First through third grades
are busy working on programs
to reinforce reading compre-
hension, vocabulary, and
other reading skills that help
prepare them for success.
The children are very fortu-
nate at North Sumter Primary
to have the teachers who are
dedicated and experienced.
These teachers are commit-
ted to teaching each individ-
-ual child on their level with
the ultimate goal, success for
all students.

Landscaping rules, for the lazy gardener

Patricia Stokes, a paraprofessional who works in a North Sumter Primary School ESE class, is
shown reading with 3-year-old Chandler Kelly and 5-year-old Logan Bacon on a typical after-
noon. Stokes was named School-Related Employee of the Year by the Sumter County School
Board this week.


Stokes: School-Related



Employee of the Year


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

The Sumter School Board
paid tribute to some of the sys-
tem's support personnel this
week at a ceremony on March
15. It was an opportunity for
the board to give credit to
teacher aids, secretaries, bus
drivers, food service person-
nel, custodians, resource offi-
cers, and maintenance work-
ers for their role in supporting
the education of Sumter chil-
dren.
Patricia Stokes, a North
Sumter Primary School para-
professional, was recognized
as the School-Related
Employee of the Year -at
Tuesday's meeting. She works
in Wildwood in an ESE class-
room with children from three
to seven years old. The four-
year employee "goes above
and-bevoncLthe. call of dut to
cotc\'y a sense of pride i Jr
school," stated an mnmounce-
ment distributed by the school
board.
Tammy Raya, a substitute
teacher who works in the
classroom with Stokes, said,
"She's got an excellent person-
ality."
"She's just so wonderful.
She does so much," Raya said.
Sometimes, this even includes
purchasing crafts on her own
for the students to use and
bringing in food and snacks
for them. "She treats the kids


like they're her own," Raya
said.
Stokes spent 17 years as a
certified nurse's assistant,
which she said helps her
tremendously in her job, a
position that entails caring for
special needs children as
young as three. The 39-year-
old has spent more than 20
years bringing up her own two
children, Rodney, Jr., 13, and
Rothesia, 22.
Highly regarded by col-
leagues, Stokes still found it
hard to believe she would
receive such an award. "I love
my job and to know what
(school employees) feel about
me, I think it's a great honor,"
Stokes said. "I was kind of
happy and kind of bewildered
at the same time," she said of
the day she learned she was
selected.
Stokes plans to broaden her
. kno_ le.dge ti'rtJer .. b.\ ,
enrolling iln computer courses
later this year.
Stokes will go on to a region-,
al competition for School-
Related Employee of the Year,
and froni those' finalists, one
will be chosen to represent the
state.
Award recipients from other
schools, and departments
included: Houston S. (Stan)
Burke of the maintenance
department, Leon Richardson
of the transportation depart-
ment, Allen Sigler from ,North
Sumter Intermediate School,

If you sincerely want to
enjoy the lifestyle of a lazy
gardener, then you must
memorize and follow the
golden rule of lazy gardening:
Don't fight Mother
Nature.
There are some
dedicated and detail-
oriented gardeners ;
who spent a lifetime '
defying this rule.
Perhaps they like the
challenge, the con-
stant battle, or maybe ?J
they just march to the '
beat of a rebellious -
drummer. These are M O
the folks with plenty
of free time to spent on a pic-
ture perfect garden.
Then there are the rest of
us. Weekend gardeners, or
even monthly gardeners, who
are short on time and energy
but long on vision and ideas.
Homeowners who want a
great looking yard 6 even a
beautiful, flower-filled land-
scape, without the hours of
daily maintenance required
to care for it.

Joining the ranks of the lazy
gardeners doesn't allow you
an unmown lawn or knee-
high weeds. Start with a land-
scape design for more free


time. One way to work with
Mother Nature is to include
native plants in your land-
scape based on the principle
of putting the right plant in
the right place. Native plants
have adopted over many cen-
turies to nature's harshest
conditions.
Now get ready to adjust
your attitude. Lazy gardeners
simply work smarter instead
of harder. They get the maxi-


mum return on a minimum of
energy investment. Less work
and more to show for it. The
secret is to hire Mother
Nature to work your garden
on the days when you
are just' too busy, too
forgetful or just too
relaxed.

Senior ADVOCATE


Part B of Medicare is voluntary,


so just go ahead and volunteer


Recently, I wrote a col-
umn explaining the ins
and outs of Part B and
Part D of Medicare. I have
received much e-mail, most of
which requested
additional informa- -
tion concerning
Part B and coinsur-
ance.
Part B is volun-
tary for all; simply
meaning that one
may refuse to par-
ticipate.
I also wrote that if
one has a long-term
care insurance poli-
cy, with a 30-day DAN F
elimination period,
and has a degree of m..
affluence, they
might not need to coinsure
Medicare.
So, what did I mean?
First, allow me to make this
abundantly clear; everyone
should subscribe to Part B of
Medicare!
Remember,, Part A of
Medicare, referred to as "hos-
pital insurance," is a portion of
Social Security taxes that
funds hospital insurance.
fHence, there is no cost to you
for Part A.
Part B of Medicare, referred
to as "medical insurance," is
your premiums and the gener-
al revenues of the government
funded medical insurance.
The 2005 annual cost of Part B
is $938.
This total cost of Medicare,
Parts A and B, excludes
deductibles and coinsurance
amounts.-
Do not confuse subscription
to Part B and coinsuring
Medicare. They are entirely
separate.


The explanation applies to a
small percentage of Medicare
beneficiaries. Also, this is a
theory that is mine, and one
should not make this decision
without profession-
al assistance; that
is, the assistance of
an experienced
elder law attorney
or a credentialed
financial planner.
Also, they must be
aware of my theory.
/ Each person's sit-
uation differs, so
some basic thoughts
about my theory
tOHAN and explanations
are in order.
.It is my theory
that if one has a rea-
sonable amount of wealth, the
cost of home health and nurs-
ing home care will empty your
pockets faster than the coin-
surance and deductibles of
Medicare. When one reaches
the age of 65 and is in relative
good health, in most cases, he
or she will have minimal med-
ical expenses for the next 10
years.
In addition, once you are a
Medicare beneficiary, your
medical costs are encased in
granite by the government. So
forget the horror stories of a
$70,000 hospital bill; it simply
will not happen. However,
depending on your geographi-
cal area a $70,000 annual nurs-
ing home bill is not at all
unusual.
Some facts: The cost to you
to enter a hospital (24-hour
period or longer) is $912; this
will cover you for up to 60 days.
This is known as "Diagnostic
Related Group Perspective
Payment System." By entering


this diagnostic code in the hos-
pital's computer, they immedi-
ately know how much
Medicare will pay them. The
chance that you will stay in a
hospital for more than 60 days
is slim; you will be discharged
or sent to a nursing facility.
Part B pays your physician's
fees, and other charges.
These costs are locked in by
the government, called a "lim-.
ited charging system." This
means that for each and every
procedure, surgery, etc., the
government allows a certain
amount. If a physician partici-
pates in Medicare, he or she
must abide by this figure as his
or her full charge.
Medicare pays 80 percent of
this amount, and you are
responsible for the remainder.
The remainder: Usually 20
percent if the provider of the
service, not the hospital,
accepts Medicare assignment
- that is, accepts Medicare's
allowed amount as the full
charge. Across this great
nation, I would guess that 95
percent of medical providers,
including physicians, accept
assignment.
If not, they may charge an
additional 15 percent, again of
the same Medicare allowed
amount. Always ask if one
accepts assignment!
Only you know what wealth
means, and the lack of second-
ary insurance is for a select
few. Hope I have helped.
Keep my green tea warm,
and I will talk to you next
week

Middle School season under way


The Wildwood Middle
School Fastpitch Softball team
is 2 and 1, as they lost their first
game to West Hernando (11-4)
on March 7, but then beat Fox
Chappel (12-0) on March 8 and
the Charter Middle School (19-
9) on March 11.
Wildwood has a great team
this year, coached by Dave
White.
The school has not had a
team for two years, but they


sure have one now.
This team hopes to stick
together and totally dominate
next year and when they move
up to Wildwood High.
There is a lot of talent on this
team and most are trying to be
all that they can in hopes of
earning a scholarship one day.
The team will travel back to
The Villages to day and try for
another victory. (2 p.m. game
