"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.

It was announced that this year"a new tradition" has started, in which the pig is actually the massive grand champi- on pig. "It's usually a forty of fifty-pound pig." Yoder said.

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. Parts for this article was taken from a publication by the AFNN.

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 TEACHER continued from Page 1 "...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 "Where you come from! Don't ever forget where home is and morning at the school meeting witlh teachers. 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. Purcell Funeral Home in Bushnell is in charge of funer- al arrangements. A visitation is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Marc h 24,; at ie Pircelf Fulneral Home Chapel. Funeral services will be at 11 always remember what got you where you are today." He also; told the students that wheit they do decide to go off and try; new things, getting into college etc.,,to just realize that you DQ, belongwhereveryou'are; if you didn't, you wouldn't be there, Go and do what you are there for; don't feel as if you don't fit in because you're there for a, reason; be there for that reason and you will belong." Boo's one piece of advice that he left to the students was, Humble is the way, Step by,- Step; Day by Day!

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.

N "Copyrighted.Material Syndicated Contents Available from Commercial News Providers" &Yu .me.0 Your 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 . ( o 0 11 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 ers meevotedng responsible for r dsideration solving its landfill ompanysto issues within r's garbage Sumter County. ind instead Chandl er, n4inueo imth Roberts and Mask efforts and took a bold step 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 call Haven at 787-5889. 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. Marge Lowery 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. Barbara Kane Sumter Fair Administrative Assistant The opinion page of the Sumter County Times is provided for readers and columnists to express their views and may cover any topic.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005, PAGE 5 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 home of four years has stopped Brown-Waite Representatives for Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite (FL-5) will con- tinue the practice of hosting regular Constituent Outreach Meetings throughout the Fifth District in the coming weeks. Staff members from Brown- Waite's office will explain how to get in touch with the Congresswoman to remedy a problem, offer general assis- tance and information, and 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 in Sumter County on Thursday, April 7th at the fol- lowing locations: Bushnell 8:30 to 9 a.m. - Sumter County Law Library, Judicial Building, 2nd Floor, 225 East McCollum St., Bushnell. The Villages 10 to 11 a.m. - The Villages Government Annex, 8033 East County Road 466. ager who works in Tampa, said he gets daily reports on the pro- ject's progress, and an inspec- tor is on location five days a week He said he goes there 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 Natalie Simmons served as a representative for the Florida Agriculture in the Classroom program. Simmons and oth- ers in the state of Florida, headed to elementary school classrooms on Thursday, March 17, to read "How Groundhog's Garden Grew." The effort Is to help educate teachers and children future leaders on the significance of agriculture and Florida's food and fiber system. Simmons Is shown here with students from Bushnell Elementary School. 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. i205 Built-in walkie-talkie GPS-enabled Wireless Web access Excluding taxes and shipping fees* There's never been a better time to get the power of Nextel.

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. * IM I mi deid ri ,e Wildly Fun People Wildy _P. and SPONSORS to auppor h knee l Reserve Sponsorship 0 -C otact.

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 Sfla t u r e u during when all of G Sh e s e and critters st6 timeove 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. Wi I'd turkey will not *hat wonderful any type time of year o ) f ods creations molesta- tion or art brand new distur- 1l of the trees b a n c e on fresh new whatso- ever of owners start to their ill species of daily rit- 3 their annual uals and it is o bring a new extreme- o the woods. ly impor- tant on my part not to do anything to disturb them as they get ready for the approaching mating season and then most especially while the mating it is in progress. By the way by the time the hunting season for gobblers opens the mating ritual is. over and most of the hens are Osceola gobblers in full strut in spring. 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.

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.

(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.

Neu5 of RE SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005, PAGE 13 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. .tt a iii .~. - Abigail Pearson and Jadah Taylor were playing house on a - rainy afternoon, last Thursday, in Mrs. Fox's classroom at .,Bushnell Elementary School.

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. - SUMMER COUNTY'S Goinc GUIDE TO - Out The 3 remaining design cars are David Wallace Webelos Division Scout theme Car, Robert Joey Millaway Cub Scout Division Nascar Theme, and Michael Best Tiger Scout Division Classic Car Theme. i WORK DAIM ..

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. Call Today 352-793-2161 equine services Belle is a standard bred cross broodmare.
