Green gets life for shooting deputy


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer


Rian Green
On March 22, Sumter Sheriff's
Deputy Edward Fritz took the oppor-
,tnity to address Circuit Judge
-illiam Hallman regarding the sen-



Sumter T(


tencing of Lakeland man Rian
Green, who was later sentenced to
life in prison for shooting Eritz in,
October 2003 when he was attempt-
ing to handcuff him.
"He should receive the maximum
sentence possible for what he did,"
Fritz said. "He obviously has no
respect for the law."
Fritz's mother, Carol Fritz, also
spoke. Through tears, she said she
didn't want any other parent, spouse,
or family member to endure what
her family has. "I would like to see
Mr Green receive the maxinium sen-
tence...his next encounter with the
law may be a fatal one," she said.


teacher


"He should receive the maximum sentence possible for
what he did," Fritz said. "He obviously has no respect for
*' the law."


Fritz encountered Green on the
evening of October 9, 2003 when he
attempted to pull him over in Croom-
a-Coochee for not having a vehicle
tag. Green fled, and a chase fol-
lowed. Green then crashed into
woods, where Fritz tried to appre-
hend him, but was shot with a small-
caliber handgun.
Green then escaped and hijacked
a vehicle, abandoned it, and fled into
woods, where police searched for
him unsuccessfully He was finally


arrested ini Texas on October 30, 2003
by members of the U.S. Marshal
Service's Fugitive Task Force.
* Although Fritz was able to return
to work a few months after the inci-
dent, it was apparent he perceived
Green as a threat to society. Fritz was
joined in court by family, friends,
and law enforcement personnel.
Despite attempts by the defense to
argue Fritz's injuries were not
severe and the maximum penalty
should 'be reserved for worse


injuries, Green received. the maxi-
mum -ientence for attempted first-
degree murder of a law enforcement
officer
He was also convicted and sen-
tenced to 30 years, twice the normal
sentence because he is a repeat
offender, for resisting a law enforce-
ment officer with violence and
received the maximum penalty of
five years in prison for his third
offense, felony fleeing or attempting
to elude a law enforcement officer
Nearly two weeks ago, Green's
trial ended and he was found guilty
of those three charges. He was found
not guilty of aggravated assault with
a firearm or carjacking while armed.
Green's criminal career goes back
to1989, and this will be 35-year-old's
fourth prison sentence.

FHP issues telephone scam alert


The Florida Highway
Patrol is issuing an alert to
citizens regarding a phone
scam that is spreading
throughout Florida. Callers
(con artists) who are imper-
sonating Florida Highway
Patrol Troopers, as well as
other law enforcement offi-
cers, have been contacting cit-
izens by telephone at random
advising them that a family
member has been involved in
a traffic crash. The con artist
urges the phone owner to dial
either *72 or 72# in order to-
speak with a doctor. By doing
this, the phone owner will
unknowingly permit. the
caller on the other end to use
their phone line for making
local or long distance tele-'
phone calls which will ulti-
mately be billed to the phone
owner's account. Citizens
who suspect that they may
have fallen victim to a con
artist phone scam must con-


tact their local phone compa-
ny to ascertain how to remove
call forwarding from their
telephone forwarding system.
Most of these phone calls
have originated from pay
phones located within correc-
tional facilities. Some correc-
tional facilities have started
playing a recording on all col-
lect calls dialed from pay
phones within the facility in
which the receiver of the call
is advised that, they are
receiving a collect call from a
correctional facility. Many of
the calls have originated from
a correctional facility in
Miami-Dade. Please note that
if your phone is equipped
with caller ID, these calls
begin with (305) 459 xxxx and
the ID name will be TCG pat-
phones. Be cautioned that the
Miami-Dade Correctional
Facility is not the only facility
from which these calls can
originate and the above listed


number is for informational
purposes only.
Victims or potential victims
should immediately contact
the law enforcement agency
the caller claimed to repre-
sent. Anyone receiving a sus-
picious call is asked to make
notations about the caller's
voice, request a call back
number, and take advantage
of the caller ID feature if they
have the equipment installed
on their phone. The Florida
Highway Patrol does not noti-
fy family members of crash
victims via collect calls from
pay phones, nor would we
request anyone to dial a *72
or 72# number. Anyone who
suspects that they might have
been victimized by an individ-
ual who identified
himself/herself as a member
of the Florida Highway Patrol
is asked to contact their local
Florida Highway Patrol sta-
tion.


Having a water-wise landscape


If you had to choose, which
would you rather be able to
do: Take a shower or water
the lawn?
With an ever-increasing
population, water restric-
tions are here to stay. But as
homeowners, we can do a lot
to preserve water. Today, any-
where from 30 to 70 percent
of urban water goes to irri-
gating lawns, depending on
where you live and what time
of year it. is. Changing the
way we landscape can dra-
matically reduce this water
use.
Many of us have heard
about xeriscaping, an
approach to landscaping that
emphasizes careful planning
and plant selection, efficient
irrigation systems, and liber-
al use of mulches to reduce
water needs.
Mother Nature already
provided us with a great
model for plant selection:
native plants.
Native plants are those,
which have been growing in
Florida for thousands of
years without our help.
Native plants have naturally
adapted to sand, muck,
intense heat, dry winters, wet
summers, downpours, cold
snaps, salty air, wildfires, and
tropical storms. A key point
for water-wise landscapes:
native plants drive on avail-
able rainfall. If they didn't,,
they wouldn't still be here.


Take a walk in the woods
and admire the variety of
plants growing, even in time
of drought, with not a sprin-
kler system in sight. "But,"
you think, "I can't use those
plants in my landscape." Why
not? In colonial times, the
royal families of England,
France and Spain hired
botanists to come here, dig
up our wild plants, and take
them back for planting in the
royal gardens. Our native
plants were exotic to them,
beautiful, unusual, and used
for landscaping the most
exclusive European homes.
Evidently it's human
nature to be attracted most to
the unusual. As a result, we
tend to overlook the, beauti-
ful and truly extraordinary
"ordinary" plants around us.
Consider the saw palmetto, a
plant that requires no water-
ing once established, suffers
no pests, provides an excel-
lent sound and privacy barri-
er, thrives in full sun and
sandy soil, provides food and
shelter for wildlife (including
the Florida panther, black
bear, and more than five
dozen of bird species), and is
now used to produce dietary
supplements for prevention
of prostate problems in older
men.
For thousands of years,
Wildlife and people have
been using native plants. As
you learn about this rich nat-


ural history, you recognize
that native plants have a
beauty that extends far
beyond the color of flower or
shape of a leaf.
Your AFNN (Association of
Florida Native Nurseries)
native nursery can guide you
in selecting and planting
natives so .that once estab-
lished, your landscape, can
thrive on available'rainfall.
And you can save your water
for the swimming pool, the
fruit trees, your vegetable or
herb garden, and a birdbath
or two.

taken from a publication by
the AFNN.

A visit from Clinton Hart


Coming back to his home-
town is one thing Clinton "Boo"
Hart cherishes most.
He returns home from the
big cities to little Sumter
County once again to speak to
the students in Mrs. Cloud's
psychology class at South
Sumter High. Boo enjoys com-
ing back year after year to
speak to the students on follow-
ing their dreams and never giv-
ing up on the things they want
to accomplish.
Mrs. Cloud stated that she
doesn't ask Clinton to come
back every year because he's
an NFL football player, but
because of the trials he went
through to get where he is

"...All of us are grieving, this
tragic loss as Mrs. Edwards
touched many liVes in a spe-
cial way," Mrs. McKinney's let-
ter states. "Mrs. Edwards con-
sidered South Sumter Middle
School a -part of her family.
She attended South Sumter
Middle School as a child and
from the past ten years taught
eighth grade and social stud-
ies here."
"...Mrs. Edwards was loved
and respected," Mrs.
McKinney's letter states. "She,
will be missed by all of us."
The letter also informs par-
ents that a special support
team is serving the school to
provide individual and group]
counseling services.
Shirley spent Monday


today. He didn't play college
football, he just went straight
into the big games of NFL. Boo
grew up in Webster and gradu-
ated from SSHS in 1995 and
has made it a yearly tradition
to visit the classroom. The stu-
dents take the trials he experi-
enced into consideration and
realized that it's not easy to
make something of yourself;
it's something that you have to
work hard for. You must work
hard for what you wish to
accomplish if you intend on
being successful.
Clinton said the most impor-
tant thing to. remember is

ever forget where home is and

Mrs. Edwards began her
teaching career in 1995 at
South Sumter Middle School.
"It's the only place she's
ever taught," Shirley said. The
loss is difficult because some
of the teachers at the school
also taught Mrs. Edwards
when she was a youngster.
"It's a terrible, terrible
tragedy, the kids are obviously
upset."
Shirley said news of Mrs.
Edwards' death was also pro-,
vided to students at South
Sumter High School because
many of her former students
now attend the school.

al arrangements.

told the students that wheit
they do decide to go off and try;
new things, getting into college

didn't, you wouldn't be there,
Go and do what you are there
for; don't feel as if you don't fit

Boo's one piece of advice
that he left to the students was,
Humble is the way, Step by,-

Financial support needed for local Hospice House


BOB REICHMAN
Editor


. Hospice of Lake and
Summer recently announced
plans to build the Lane
Nrcell Hospice House in
$umterville. But bringing the
4use to fruition requires sub-
stantial financial support
from the local community.
The home will be located on
two acres of land on U.S. 301,
adjacent to the Sumterville
campus of Lake Sumter
Community College. While the


land for the proposed facility
was donated to Hospice, mak-
ing the home a reality will
require raising at least $1.5
million in contributions,
according to Hospice repre-
sentatives.
."Philanthropy is so critical
in this community," said Ted
Williams, Hospice Foundation
executive director.
While Hospice receives
reimbursement at 80 percent
from Medicare and Medicaid
for medical services, a sub-
stantial amount of the special'
programs offered by Hospice


aren't reimbursed with state
or federal funds.
"It costs $1.2 million each
year to run our programs,"
Williams said. "And that's paid
strictly by philanthropy"
Williams said response
from the community for the
Lane.Purcell Hospice House
has been strong.
"We've been blessed by peo-
ple stepping up to the plate,"
he said. "We look at Sumter
County like a big family and
they're there when we need
them."
Next month, Hospice is


planning a groundbreaking
ceremony at the Sumterville
site. Construction is expected
to begin in the summer.
The home will provide a
comprehensive-care program
for patients who are facing
end-of-life care and service.
The proposed facility will
contain eight furnished
patient rooms with lanais,
kitchen, cafe, chapel, family
room, outdoor family area and
memorial garden.
A home-like atmosphere is
provided and family members
and friends are encouraged to


visit frequently with no visit-
ing hour restrictions.
The house will be staffed by
a medical director, nurses,
nursing assistants, social
workers, chaplains and
trained volunteers.
Hospice offers a variety of
means to financially assist
with the home construction.
Here are a few of the deferred
or planned-giving options for"
the project:
Wills and bequests, living
trusts, charitable gift annu-
ities, charitable lead uni-
trusts, charitable remainder


unitrusts, insurance polices,
stocks and bonds, real estate
and personal property.
Contributors can also honor
a loved one by having an area
in the home named in their
memory.
Naming opportunities
include patient rooms, memo-
rial garden, fountain, outdoor
family area and chapel -
among others.-
For more information about
contributing to the building
effort, contact Williams at 742-
6800.

Something happened along
the way with Sumter
County's plan to recycle
household garbage into compost.
What began as an innovative
idea has somehow led
the county down a path ""-
of financial hardship .,
resulting in expendi-
tures of millions of dol-
lars that finally lead
county commissioners
to scramble for ways to
resolve their monu-
mental solid waste 'o
debt.
In the mid 1980s, B
Sumter County was a RE(C
spotlight throughout i
the nation for its
unique approach to recycling.
Plans to recycle household waste,
into a usable and salable com-
post product were watched
intently around the country.
But somewhere along the line,
things started going wrong and
what was expected to produce
revenue for the county, through
the sale of compost, became a
money loser with substantial
costs going to repairing and pur-
chasing equipment
used in the recy-
cling process.
Added to the Last Thursd
problem was a special
strong reliance on Commissic
former Public commission
Works Director to 2 to end c
Garry Breeden to of hiring a c
come up with all haul Sumt0
the solutions. out of state
Because Breeden agreed to cc
was in charge of composting
the landfill (along considerate
with a multitude of landfill for r
other responsibili- cannot be
ties), county com-
missioners, in the
past, tended to let
him deal with the problems.
It has only been within the past
several years that county com-
missioners have begun to get
involved in landfill problems.
With Breeden's retirement,
escalating landfill costs and the
threat of a proposed landfill
near Center Hill, county commis-
sioners were forced to become
more involved in solid waste
issues than ever before,
That has been a good thing for
Sumter County. Not only are
county commissioners more
aware of the problems and
potentials for solid waste, so are
many of Sumter's residents.
Recent consideration of pro-
posals to begin sending Sumter
County's refuse out of state to
help solve the- financial burden
resulted in substantial concerns
by more than 20 landfill employ-
ees that their jobs could end and
an admission that Sumter's
attempt to become leaders and
innovators in solving solid waste
issues were unsuccessful.
Last Thursday, during a special
County Commission meeting,
commissioners voted 3 to 2 to
end consideration of hiring a
company to haul Sumter's

garbage out of state and instead
agreed to continue with com-
posting efforts and consideration
of a new landfill for material that
cannot be composted.
Commissioners Joey
Chandler, Jim Roberts
and Randy Mask sup-
ported the idea with
commissioners Mike
Francis and Dick
Hoffman casting strong
votes of opposition.
It wasn't a simple
decision, and Chandler,
Roberts and Mask are
b to be commended for
IMAN taking what many will
a.... see as an illogical step.
All three commission-
ers (Mask was not a commission-
er at the time but ran on a plat-
form that strongly opposed the
Center Hill site) were adamant
in their opposition last year to
plans to open a landfill near
Center Hill. But, that decision
was primarily based on the pro-
posed location of the landfill. It
was viewed to be an inappropri-
ate location that could be envi-
ronmentally damaging.
C o u n t y
Commissioner Jim
Roberts has said
qy, during a he believes Sumter
County County should be

on of a new last Thursday.
material that They are support-
composted. ing plans to contin-
ue with landfill
operations that in
the past have
proven to be losers.
But, there is one major differ-
ence now. County commissioners
and the general public have a
much better understanding of
the issues that face the
Sumterville facility and the tools
that will be needed to correct
past problems.
Instead of relying on one man
(Breeden), commissioners and
the public are now aware that
solving the landfill problems will
require constant attention, imag-
ination and fortitude and money.
For their decision to result in a
winner, the landfill will have to
be run more as a business than a
governmental service.
The bottom line will be to
somehow turnaround the opera-
tion, taking it from a loser to at
least a break-even position.
These commissioners believe
this can happen, and if they
carry through, they will most
likely be right.
This could be a new era for
solid waste operations in Sumter
County, one that once again has
the entire country viewing
Sumter as a leader in solid waste
disposal but this time, with a
successful outcome.


Haven participates in
special month
April is Sexual Assault Awareness
month, and Haven of Lake and
Sumter County has chosen April 7 to
kick off an awareness campaign
designed by the Florida Department
of Health.
The project titled "Rape, talks
about it, prevents it," is targeted
toward, a youthful audience and fea-
tures posters and video messages
about the new image, "I became a
better man when I realized I had the
power to control myself." Groups are
also asked to watch out for friends,
and girls are encouraged to show
guys they appreciate men who use
self-control.
Sexual violence is a major problem
in Florida. Statistics currently avail-
able for Florida are the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement's
totals gathered by law enforcement
agencies throughout the state. In
Florida, in the year 2003, the number
of forcible rapes reported to police
was 6,724, attempted rapes, 401,
forcible sodomy, 1,596 and forcible
fondling was 4,436, which total 12,756
sexual offenses reported to law
enforcement agencies.
Lake County reported 183 forcible
sex offenses in the 2000 Uniform
Crime Report Sumter reported 28.
cases for the same year. If these are
on the 37 percent estimated by the
FBI, the number of sexual assaults
would be much greater.
The FBI estimates that only 37 per-
cent of all rapes are reported to the
police.
More than one half of all rape
cases (61 percent). occurred before
the victim reached the age of 18; 29
percent of all rapes occurred when
. the victim was less than 11 years old;
while another 32 percent occurred
between the ages of 11 and 17,
according to Rape in America, A
Report to the Nation, 1992.
Of female graduate students polled
by the American Psychological
Association, 12.7 percent reported
having, been sexually harassed, 21
percent have avoided classes for fear
of being sexually harassed, 11 per-
cent had tried to report an incident of
sexual harassment, and 3 percent,
had dropped a course because of sex-
ual harassment. This according to the
National Council for Research on
Women.
Yet surprisingly in a survey by
Hopper, Sexual Abuse of Males:
Prevalence and lasting Effects. and
Resourced 1997, over 50 percent of
high school boys and 42 percent of
high school girls believe that there
are times when it is "acceptable for a
male to hold a female down and phys-
ically force her to engage in inter-
course."
These statistics and surveys of
modem attitudes certainly indicate
that there is much that needs to be
done. First we need to make sure that
our family and friends don't have the
attitude that it is ever acceptable for
a person to force any other person to
have sex against their will. No person
ever asks to be raped! And Rape is
always a crime. Children deserve
protection from adults and not abuse!
We can help shape attitudes in our
homes, schools, churches, clubs, and
any place we congregate. We each
need to encourage and stand as role
models for all children that it is a
"BETTER" man that is in control of
himself at all times. We can explain
the danger of being out alone, of look-'
ing out for friends when they go
places together, of caring enough to
confront any person whose attitudes


are counter and lead to sexual
harassment or even sexual violence.
Another opportunity is to volun-
teer at a sexual assault or domestic
violence center and help families
heal from the abuse of assault and a
life lived with violence. Commit to
change and follow through with at
least one action will change the
world for the better. If you would like
to help change attitudes about sexual
assault, sexual harassment or sexual
abuse please call to volunteer. It only
takes as much time as you are inter-
ested in investing. If you would like
to volunteer, get more information, or
just learn how you can help please

Haven of Lake and Sumter
Sumter can take
care of problem
I have been a resident of the state
of Florida since 1980. It has been my
pleasure to live in Sumter County for
the past few years.
In addition to representing my hus-
band and me, it is my privilege to rep-
resent the Democrat Club of Sumter
County.
The Democrat Club is chartered by
the Sumter County Democrat
Executive Committee as well as the
Florida Democratic Party.
In our humble opinion, Sumter
County is ,as close to Heaven as we
mere mortals get during our life here
on earth. I would be surprised if this
attitude is not shared by most of our
county residents.
We consider our stewardship of the
environment as our sacred duty. It is
our goal to leave our children and
grandchildren an ecologically
healthy environment for them to
enjoy all the days of their lives.
We were taken by surprise in the
last few weeks to learn of the possi-
bility of closing or privatizing Sumter
County's Solid Waste Recycling and
Composting Facility.
But in retrospect, we accept the,
blame for not knowing what was hap-
pening. Last October when you, the
Board of Commissioners, were solic-
iting alternative proposals for pro-
viding solid waste services, our atten-
tion was diverted to the national,
state, and local political campaigns.
AWe had thought that everything
was going well in Paradise, as we
locals like to call the county waste
facility. It is with pride that we point
to the $3.5million grant from the
State of Florida to our county for
"advancing composting to the next
level by incorporating the latest tech-
nological advances'. The information
available on the web is that our part-
ner in this is the University of
Florida.
Honestly, we thought it was only a
matter of time before we, the resi-
dents of this county could line up to
purchase a quality compost product
produced right here. We next envi-
sioned "pie in the sky" plans of sell-
ing it to the world and enriching the
coffers of Sumter County.
As one who has spent a large por-
tion of my disposable income on mak-
ing my yard bloom with flowers and
vegetables in the past year, I know
there is a readily available market
for high quality compost I am not
alone in this passion to have a lush
yard without causing more damage to
our eco system.
We live in a county that has thrived
on the horticultural industries.
The RFP you published last fall
states that after receiving proposals
the Board may enter into agreement
with one or more proposers, or with
no proposers.
I am here to respectfully ask you to


not enter into an agreement with an
outside source at this time. Please;
give the community time to respond
and give you input.
We, the Democrat Club believe that
the purpose of government is to
accomplish that which we can not do
on an individual basis. While we can
all be environmentally responsible,
we need to act as a group to have a
meaningful lasting positive impact
on our environment. Government is
the form that group must take in this
critical stewardship role.
The possibility of sending our trash
to another location to be buried, even
if that location is in another state or
costs less, seems morally irresponsi-
ble to us.
We realize this is not a black and
white, easily decided issue.
We must find a way to remove the
small amount of glass that remains in
the compost to produce a viable com-
mercial product Would the problem
vanish if we asked county residents
to remove all glass products from
their trash before pick-up?
Is another expensive piece. of
equipment needed to remove the
glass?
Do we need a reasonable county
assessment to pay for the cost over
runs on the present system?
According to an IFAS website,
FORCE is Florida's organic recycling
effort involving the Florida
Department of Protection, the
University of Florida and Sumter
County. It was to be fully operational
November 2001.
Help us to understand. Is this when
the 5-year grant period started or
ended?
Some big questions we continue to
ask are:
1. What happened to the agree-
ment with the University of Florida?
2. And what happens to the $3.5mil-
lion grant if we stop making com-
post?
Please, to repeat, we ask you not
enter into any outsourcing agree-
ment at this time.
Please, ask for citizen input We
offer the energy and resources of our
Democrat Club to help you in any
way.

Thanks for
fair help
Well, the Fair is over for this year.
Our hopes are that everyone had a
good time, I know I did.
We're looking forward to an even
bigger and better Fair next year.
Sometimes we don't realize the effort
it takes into the daily running of the
Fair for those nine days.
Thousands of those folks came
through the gates this year. Along
with all those folks comes a lot of
cleanup. I .cannot begin to comple-
ment the Sumter Sheriff's
Department, Tom Moffitt and
Sergeant Day. Each day we were pro-
vided with three trustees from the
sheriff's jail. They were hard work-
ers, extremely polite, and by far some
of the nicest young men we have met
I don't think we could have done it
without them. It shows that the sys-
tem can work. It was good for them,
as well as good for us. These men
showed up every day. They worked
long hours, never once a complaint I
know that they had to be as tired as
we were.
Again, thanks Sheriff Farmer,
Captain Moffitt and Sergeant Day
and those three young men, Mark,
Ray and Jr.

Lake restoration trying to catch


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Some Lake Panasoffkee resi-
dents are disappointed with
what they perceive as the qual-
ity of the cleanup that has been
going on in their area.
"It doesn't look much better
than when they came," said
Janice Cato, who lives on
County Road 484. "They're not
doing what they're supposed to
be. doing," she said. Cato said
the dredging closest to her

problem, offer general assis-

outline what services are


and moved onward in the lake.
But Mike Holtkamp, of the
Southwest Florida Water
Management District, said
although behind schedule, the
dredging being done is quality
work, and that the contractors
are doing what they've been
asked to do. "I'm confident
they're doing that," he said.
The specifications for the
project are clear; they must
dredge to an elevation of 34
feet, which is about five and
three-quarters feet deep con-
sidering the current water
level. Holtkamp, a project man-

sets meetings
available through the office.
Representatives from
Brown-Waite's office will be

lowing locations:

he gets daily reports on the pro-
ject's progress, and an inspec-
tor is on location five days a

about every week to ten days,
but he visits as often as neces-
sary.
He explained the matter res-
idents are seeing on the surface
after dredging is.most likely
windblown debris from other
areas. Holtkamp said the plan
is to go back to those areas later,
and move the debris into an
area still to be dredged.
In November, the first dredge

representative for the Florida
Agriculture in the Classroom
program. Simmons and oth-
ers in the state of Florida,

March 17, to read "How

teachers and children future
leaders on the significance

on the project broke down.
Plans were already in motion
for a new dredge, which they
planned to get a few weeks
from then, Holtkamp said. But
after various instances of
equipment difficulties, it took
about ten weeks for dredging to
resume.
The dredging is going on now
24 hours a day, six days a week
to catch up for lost time. The
contractor, who is paid monthly
according to acres completed,
only receives 90 percent of the
regular rate until the project
gets back on schedule.


Holtkamp said this could take
six to eight months. Once the
dredging is completed through
Idlewild Fish Camp on the
western shore, they will move
to the eastern shore where
docks won't slow down the
process, the hope being that the
dredging will progress from
one acre a day to three. They
are currently working near
Tracy's Point on the west The
project, which started in 1998,
.is in the second of three phases.
According to the project plan, it
will continue through 2007.
The restoration plan was


up


developed and implemented
with the goal of improving fish
habitat, restoration of the
shoreline, and improving navi-
gation through the lake.
According to the water manage-
ment district, almost 800 acres,
or 22 percent of the lakes open
water area have been lost due
to sedimentation and the
growth of unwanted vegetation
found on the surface of the
lake.
Holtkamp urges those with
questions or concerns about the
restoration to contact him at
(800) 836-0797, ext. 2212.

"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? Z
Everyone has different priorities and questions about
funeral pre-planning. We invite youv questions and we
will respect your priorities. Please call us foqr a no cost,; no
obligation, no pressure appointment to get the facts on
how you can benefit from funeral pre-planning.

iRoy 'Bug' Story remembered with park


;Robin Cox, James Sutton, Donna Williams, Comm. Joey Chandler, Comm. Jim Roberts and
Comm. Randy Mask here in photo from L to R as commemorative declaration is presented to
Roy Story's daughter, Donna Williams.


ROBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent
Gant Lake Canal Access
Park was officially commem-
orated in the memory of Roy
"Bug" Story on Friday, March
11, with a large crowd in
attendance.
"He was a community-ori-
ented, loving, and caring
individual who devoted his
life to Sumter County," said
Lita Hart, director of Sumter
County Parks and Recreation
Department
Several community lead-
ers and former leaders all
spoke out on how fond and
appreciative they were of
Story's contributions to
Sumter County.
"I've known him my whole
adult life," said Sheriff Bill


Farmer. "He is missed. He
would tell you exactly what
he thought and didn't pull
any punches. I cherished his
opinion.
He was indeed the 'mayor'
of Gant Lake."
County Commissioner
Randy Mask called him a
"modern day cowboy"
Former County Commis-
sioner Robin Cox said he
could talk about him all day
and still not cover all there
was to say about Roy Story.
"I had a lot of respect for
him and it was a privilege to
name this park for him. Now
every time you pass by you
can remember him and what
he has done for the commu-
nity."
A commemorative declara-'
tion was present to- Story's


daughter Donna Williams
that contained the following
statement: "Whereas, he had
lived in Gant Lake area for
most of his life and was con-
sidered, by many, as the
"Mayor" of Gant Lake...."
Born February 9, 1926,
Story made his mark on
Sumter County from being on
the Board of Directors of the
Sumter County Market to his
involvement with the Gant
Lake Baptist Church.
He was given the nickname
"Bug" by his grandmother
who had often witnessed
Story as a boy spending
hours playing with doodle
bugs and rollie pollies, build-
ing fences and roads.
The nickname stuck and he
was proud of it and proud of
his family.

Spring gobbler season is finally here




Spring gobbler season is finally here


olks, springtime thank-
fully has finally rolled
F around. For my part, it
,seemed like winter was
never going to get gone, it just
Seemed to drag on
;and on and on.
Just about every
Time we would
%finally get a few
'welcome days of
warm weather and
ta little sunshine a -
'new cold front
would move in and
subsequently
everything in
nature's realm
would return to a JAMIE
standstill mode Outdoo
and. spring time
would be put off for:
a few more days.
Now, however, from all
indications and signs I have
seen in just the past few days,
I do believe spring is finally
here to stay and I for.one am
kind of glad.
I have a hard time deciding
,as to whether I like spring-
time or the fall season the
'best.
SBoth seasons are very spe-
cial to me and I really enjoy
'beingout
;in the
,w o o d s
,getting Springtime is i
,close to and special

Sh e s e and critters st6

w i 1 d growth, wildfl
turk e y bloom and c
gobblers
and the wildlife begins
"hunting preparations t
s e as o n life cycle into
for them
is in the
spring
-and I also like to bow hunt
,bull elk out in high moun-
tains of the far west during
early fall so I reckon it would
be a hard decision for me as
to which season I like the
Best
Springtime is that wonder-
fill and special time of year
when all of Gods creations


and critters start brand new
life cycles. All of the trees
begin putting on fresh new
growth, wildflowers start to
bloom and all species of
wildlife begins
their annual
preparations to
bring a new life
cycle into the
woods.
j, This is the time
of the year when
wild turkey gob-
blers begin their
annual cycle of
mating.
This is the time
ADA is of year I enjoy not
r Writer -.only hunting wary
and wise old long
bearded gobblers
'but I also love watching and,
listening to them as they go
about their fantastic and
beautiful mating rituals.
Weeks before the spring
gobbler season starts I spend
many mornings in blinds
photographing wild turkey as
they go about their daily rou-
tines during the short period
of time the hens and gobblers
start to hang out together.

tant on
my part
not to do
anything to disturb them as
they get ready for the

By the way by the time the

opens the mating ritual is.

on or else very close to going
on the nest and laying their
clutch of eggs.
I have several specially
made hunting blinds that
allow- me to get very close to
wild turkey completely con-
cealing my presence and
thus allowing me to take pho-
tographs and in some cases
as close as five feet to the
turkey.
In fact I have taken many
photographs of wild turkey
that were so close I could not
focus the camera I was using.
I also have had the phenome-
non of red eye occurring in
turkey's eyes when using a
flash while taking photo-
graphs.
Wild turkeys are creatures
of habit as long as they are
not disturbed but the
moment something different
happens in their daily rou-


tine they often will leave and
completely abandon an area
quick
When I am in the process of,
taking my photographs I
make it a point to get to and
in my blind way before day-
light breaks and remain
secluded in the blind until
the turkeys have come and

gone.
Spring gobbler hunting
season is scheduled to open
this coming weekend and I
have some friends coming in
from, Illinois who. are avid
bow and arrow hunters. I
plan on trying to help them
get their first long bearded
Osceola gobbler if nothing
happens.
. Hunting gobblers is hard
enough when using a shotgun
but it is very difficult to be
successful while hunting
with a bow.


I have all my trusty and
proven "Primos" turkey
hunting calls tuned and
ready that I will need to try
and call a long bearded tro-
phy gobbler into shooting
range for my nimrod Yankee
friends but as I told them in
no uncertain terms that there
was no guarantee in them
killing an Osceola gobbler as
the Osceola wild turkey gob-
bler is far and away the hard-
est of all gobblers to hunt and
kill.
Many things can and often
go wrong while gobbler-hunt-
ing ranging from a severe
weather change to the wild
turkeys you hope to hunt hav-
ing being spooked off from a
multitude of both natural and


manmade reasons.
Anyway I look forward to
being in the woods hunting
wild turkey gobblers in the
spring and in my opinion,
experiencing the first crack
of dawn on a clear warm
spring morning as a new day
arrives is one of Gods' great--
est blessing.
It is very hard not be hum-i
ble and mighty thankful as
you live and fully relish this
experience.
It is a wonderful feeling toI
be alive, healthy and free and,
while listening to a bunch of,
gobblers greet the morning,
with their thundering voices:
echoing through the woods.

Remember to bring your appetiteE

Remember to bring your appetite


I year or so ago,
/\ ANewsweek surveyed
. Several thousand peo-
ble asking, "What is the one
thing you would
'ike somebody to
ay to you?"
Of the top three
answers, the first
as "I love you."
fhe second was "I
forgive you" and
bhe third was
f'Come and eat!"
SDon't you love
that? r-
I love you.:I for-
give you. Come and NAN
heat! .KENN
IAt my church, we
eet every
Vaundy Thursday for a com-
nunion service. It's general-
y quite solemn and sober
|Yet j'oyoNs) as we meditate
Dn the final words and
actions of Jesus the night
before his death.
Years ago, the seniors of
our congregation would meet
-efore the service began for a
5ot luck dinner.
One year I convinced my a
friend that it was an all-con-
gregation dinner and that we
should go and get a free din-
ner. We were both short on
cash and I was hungry and
knew there would, be more
than enough food for us.
Besides, I also knew that
(a) we were loved and (b)
even if it turned out that we
were committing a heinous


sin by not bringing i bowl of
potato salad or a pecan pie,
we were forgiven. Not that.
we would be forgiven, but
that we already
were. As it turned
out, even though
we were obviously
not seniors, we
were welcomed,
loved and forgiven.
And well-fed.
Although I only
did that once -
crashing a party to
get a free dinner -
--L I think about that
qcY night every year as
EDY holy week
*Ma- s approaches. I
think about coming
to the table, loved and forgiv-
en. That's what Maundy
Thursday is about.
The gospels record Jesus
hosting a meal for his dearest
friends. It was Passover and
the last Passover meal they
would share together on.
earth. The following day
Jesus would die, after having
been betrayed by one of his
friends.
In the middle of the meal,
-Christ, the King, gets down
on his knees and, one by one,
washes his friends', dirty,
dusty, stinky feet. He lets
them know he loves them,
knowing they would all, one
way or another, abandon him.
After he's done he tells
them that they are to wash
one another's feet, to love


each other sacrificially and
uncomfortably, with no
thought to status or even lov-
ableness.
Then Jesus holds up a a
piece of unleavened bread,
breaks it and says, "This is
my body, broken for you." He
lifts up a cup of wine and
tells them, "This is my blood,
shed for you." He urges them
to eat, drink and to
remember him as often as
they do.
Next, they sing hymns and
go to a garden to pray. That's
where the festivities end and
the nightmare that is Christ's
passion his arrest, trial
and crucifixion begins.
Sometimes in our Easter
preparations, between Palm
Sunday and the ham and the
jelly bean and the
Marshmallow Peeps buying
and the shouting of "He is
risen!" on Resurrection
morn i ng. sometimes Maundy
Thursday gets lost.
Sometimes churches skip
over it. For many years I
skipped over it. But I don't
want to do that any more. It's
part of the story, the whole
Easter experience.
The repenting as well as
the rejoicing, the remember-
ing as well as the glad hal-
lelujahs. The blessed Last
Supper was also the first holy
communion. It's our visual,
sensory reminder that he
was and is and is to come
again and that, in the mean-


time, we're to love, forgive
and feed one another. It was
his "mandatum," his "maun-
dy" or command.
This year at my church
we're trying something new
for Maundy Thursday.
Similar to walking the sta-
tions of the cross as they do in
liturgical churches, we're
going to journey in our wor-
ship as pilgrims at various
stations around the church.
To pray, to 'sing, to listen to
the scriptures being read and,
explained, to meditate, to
confess.
We're going to end up at the
Lord's table, to eat and drink
and remember that he was
broken and that he bled for
those he calls his own. When
we're through we will have
heard the top three things
people most want to hear: "I
love you," I forgive you,"
"Come and eat!"
Party crashers who have
tasted forgiveness are most
welcome.

A BRIEF LESSON ABOUT

Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union.

(And why you don't have to be a teacher to join.)



lWE LC 01VE M



84 Buying a car. Saving, for a home. Planning retirement. These are the tests in

life everyone needs to be ready for. So allow us to tell you a few things that

they just don't teach you in school, starting with the difference between banks

and credit unions. If your money's in a bank, the profits on that money go to

stockholders. At a credit union, profits are returned to members. This explains

why members of Suncoast can get a new or used car loan for as low as 4.75%

APR1. It's why our high-yield certificate accounts earn up to 4.70% APY2

and only require a balance of $I,0.00. And why "free checking" is really

free checking. ~V4 In 1934, teachers chartered our credit union with the

philosophy of helping one another. Since then, we've expanded the criteria

for membership beyond school employees. Now, employees of many local

businesses, hospitals, cities and counties, and people 55 or older can join.

Immediate family members are eligible as well. So it's possible you could

become a member too. Call 800-999-5887 or visit joinsuncoast.org

to find out more. After all, there's no telling what you could learn.

Villages VA clinic set



to open April 4


Photos by Brenda Locklear
Cameron Hudson, Kaylee Terry and Isaac Fields were hard at play last week in Mrs. Fox's class-
room at Bushnell Elementary School. The play corner was filled with super heroes and other
children with unique "careers."


Rep. Brown-Waite to join VA
officials at grand opening
April 2
U.S. Representative Ginny
Brown-Waite (FL-5) today
announced that the much-
anticipated VA Community
Based Outpatient Clinic will
open in The Villages the first
week of April. A dedication
ceremony is scheduled for
Saturday, April 2, at 10 a.m. at
1950 Laurel Manor Drive,
Building 240, The Villages.
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite will
participate in the dedication
ceremony as. the keynote
speaker.
"The VA Grand Opening is
great news for the veterans
who live in The Villages and
surrounding areas," said Rep.
Brown-Waite. "Area veterans
will now have the greater
access to care and resources
that they deserve. I would also
like to especially thank The
The Villages Shrine Club
held election of officers with
the following results:
President Jack McCleave;
1st Vice President Bob
Lococo; 2nd Vice President -
Karl King; Secretary Dale
Langdon; Treasurer Bob
Cook; 1 year directors -
Gowin Schummacker and Ken
Hamilton; 2 year directors -
Merv Harris and Richard
Tubby; 3 year directors Dana
Bishop and Bill Aultman.


Villages for their financial
and physical commitment to
the clinic's progress, includ-
ing their generous land dona-
tion and their investment in
the veteran community.
Without their support this
grand opening would not be
taking place."
Mr. George Gray, Jr., the VA
network director, along with
representatives from the
North Florida/South Georgia
Veterans Health System and.
various veterans' service
organizations will also con-
tribute to the program.
"Congresswoman Brown-
Waite was instrumental in
facilitating this public-private
partnership between the VA
and .the Villages and is a
strong advocate for preserv-
ing veterans' healthcare and
benefits," said Fred L,
Malphurs, Director of the
North Florida/South Georgia


Veterans Health System.
The new VA clinic will pro-
vide primary care to eligible
veterans from Sumter and
surrounding counties. "We
will initially schedule
appointments for new
enrollees, those who currently
do not receive care at one of
our existing VA facilities,"
said Dr. James Borland,
Associate Chief of Staff for
Outpatient Clinics.
The Villages VA Clinic has
been established as an inter-
im clinic and will provide pri-
mary care to area veterans
until the South Marion County
multi-specialty clinic is con-
structed. Clinic staff will
begin seeing patients on
Monday, April 4. "We look for-.
ward to providing quality care
to the veterans' of Sumter and
neighboring counties at this
new facility," said Director
Malphurs.

Scout Division.


Every year, scout troops from
the district and surrounding
counties get together to fellow-
ship and compete in their annu-
al Pinewood Derby.
This year, the fun and chal-
lenge took place at the Lake
Panasoffkee United Methodist
Church where hundreds of peo-
ple from Sumter, Citrus and
Hernando counties were gath-
ered.
Scouts get their derby kits, cut
out and paint their cars, placing
their wheels on for speed racing.
Weight ranges are limited and
the car acceleration is deter-
mined by its gravity speed as it
slides down the track and moves
toward the finish line.
The kits are wood blocks and
wheels. Scouts have to shape
and design their cars.
The winners from each pack
then move on to compete at the
district level.
The district run was held
Saturday, March 5 and coordi-
nated by Annika and Mike
Wallace, pack leaders for Pack
313 coordinated the event
Part of the Gulf Ridge Council,
the district challenge included
three complete tracks for racing,
as bears, wolves, tigers and
webelos met for the contest


The Webelos Division race winners are Brian Germani Pack 442 1st Place, Chase Kiefer Pack
313 2nd Place, Kyle Eppley Pack 71 3rd Place, and Samual Zafrani 4th place.

C CHATTER FWC asking anglers, 'How's the fishing?'


The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission's (FWC's) recent-
ly restructured Division of
Freshwater Fisheries
Management is opening com-
munication lines with anglers.
The agency wants to learn
more about what it would take
to improve fishing opportuni-
ties here.
"We're trying to evaluate
the performance of the previ-
ous fisheries division over the
past five years and find ways
to improve it," said Darrell
Scovell, who heads the new


division. "We hope to measure
our progress, identify areas
that need attention and work
with communities to make
things better."
Scovell said the FWC is
committed to conservation
programs that are based on
scientific research and pro-
duce the kinds of results
anglers want to see.
As a first step in this


process, the FWC is asking
anglers to take part in a sur-
vey it has posted online at
http://www.surveyroom.com/F
isheriesInput/. Most people
are able to complete the ques-
tionnaire in about 15 minutes.
Responses and comments are
confidential. Later, the FWC
will publish a summary of
what anglers say about the
state of freshwater fishing


here in the Fishing Capital of
the World and what the
agency needs to do to make it
better.
In a second step, the FWC
will host a series of public
meetings to discuss survey
results and develop plans and
priorities for the future.
Survey participants will be
asked about their willingness
to participate in a future plan-
ning meeting and about when
and where such meetings
should take place. I
Deadline for completing the
survey is May 1.
