County works to regulate adult business


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent.
Sumter County
Commissioners are just one
step. away_ from ..regulationii
designed to control "adult"
businesses in the county after
a public hearing on Tuesday.
It was the first of two public
hearings in the process of
establishing land rules for
businesses that deal in such
things as sexually explicit
books, videos, novelties and
entertainment But, the actual
ordinance hearings follow a
series of workshops and hear-
ings, including the Zoning and
Adjustment Board.

Body


found

By BOB REICHMAN
-'Editor
The body of a Royal man
was recovered Tuesday morn-
irg from a rock mine pit in St.
Catherine.
;,."Frank Loucious Everett Jr.,
30, apparently drowned in
about 40 feet of water in the
St. Catherine rock mine pit off
County Road 673, according
to sheriff's Lt. Bobby
Caruthers.
-Caruthers and other mem-
bers of the Sumter County
Sheriff's Office Dive Team
recovered Everett's body
about 10:15 a.m., a day after
his family reported him miss-
ing.
Everett had gotten permis-
sion to go fishing in the pri-
vate pit on Sunday afternoon,
Caruthers said.
Monday afternoon, family
members informed the sher-
iff's office that they were con-
cei-ned because Everett had
not returned home, Caruthers
said.
Deputies went out to the pit
late that afternoon where
they found Everett's vehicle
and boat trailer, Caruthers
said. "We sent a helicopter up
to 'see if we could find him or
sed his boat."
Deputies discovered
Everett's tackle box and cool-
er floating in the water.
.Tuesday morning. deputies
along with Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission representatives,
used boats to further search
the water.
Everett's body was discov-
ered about 10:15 a.m. in about
40 feet of water beside his
submerged boat, Caruthers
said. His body was about 25
feet from the shoreline.

uled to consider the new regu-
lations again during a public
hearing on April 12.
Commissioner Jim Roberts
said it is important that the
board receive public com-*
ments during the secQdli hear-
ing due to the issue of commu-
nity standards, an essential
part of having an ordinance
that will stand in court.
In general, the ordinance
prohibits the introduction of
new adult businesses of cer-
tain types, establishes rules
for the layout and operation of
other adult businesses and
restricts the businesses to.
industrially zoned property.
And, even then the busi-
nesses would be subject to


some of the most stringent set-
backs to "residential uses" in
the country, according to Eric
Damien Kelly, of Duncan
Associates, an Illinois consult-
ing firm.
The cobuiniY paid Kelly to
provide technical- assistance
and guidance through the
ordinance development. ,.
The ordinance would
require adult businesses to
maintain a minimum separa-
tion of 1,000 feet from a resi-
dential property.
It would require a 2.500-foot
separation from a house of
worship, school, day care cen-
ter, park, playground or
library.
The ordinance would sim-


ply bar video or movie arcade
booths.-It would require the
removal of doors and mini-
mum lighting for existing
arcade booths.
While the ordinance estab-
lishes an additional assort-
ment of rules and regulations
for new businesses, County
Attorney Randall Thornton
said that it's not going to bring
an end to the X-Mart
Supercenter, the adult retail
store that opened near
Wildwood last summer and
was the trigger for new regUla-
tions in addition to a tempo-
rary moratorium on any new'
adult businesses.
Kelly provided the county
with an assortment of


research studies to support
the new rules, but also
advised the board about legal
expectations.
"If your goal is to put these
places out of business, then
we have a problem," Kelly
said. 'If your goal is to limit
the secondary impacts of
these businesses, then you
have a defendable ordi-
nance."
He explained that the ordi-
nance would only have the
1,000-foot residential separa-
tion because a greater dis-
tance would have drastically
limited available parcels for
the defined businesses.
Through the many discus-
sions of the issue, Kelly has


advised the board that there
must some properties where
adult businesses would be an
allowed usage.
"I don't think they'll be beat-,
ing down the doors to Sumter
County," Kelly said. "If you get
one more (adult business) in
the next three to four years, I
would be surprised."
He said it appears that the
X-Mart store is already mak-
ing some improvements to
bring it more into compliance
with the new rules.
There was not a great deal
of discussion and there was no
vote for this first hearing.

That gobble may be :deceptive


By BOB REICHMAN
'Editor
,-,Sumter hunters be fore-
warned, the next gobble you
hear may be very deceptive.
Some high-tech recruits are
joining the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission's (FWC) law
enforcement team. The
Florida State Chapter of the
National Wild Turkey
Federation (NWTF) last week
gave the FWC five robotic
turkeys. These so called robo-
tu rkeys are lifelike figures
that rotate their bodies, move
their tails and even gobble.
"Our officers use the robo-
turkeys to snare poachers as
they attempt to shoot the
decoys." said Col. Julie Jones,
FWC's law enforcement direc-
tor. "Having five more of
these in the field will greatly
increase our ability to catch
uftiethical hunters and con-
erve one of Florida's prized
gaie birds."
One of these imposter gob-
blers could end up in Sumter
.:County, said Joy Hill, public


information coordinator. Hill'
declined to say what areas, of
Sumter could be considered
for displaying the decoy
turkeys. "That would give it
away," she said.
Robotic-turkeys join the.
robotic-deer that have also
been used by the agency to try
and catch poachers.
A mounted deer, complete
with remote-control mecha-
nisms to move its tail and
make its head move, has been
used in Sumter's Richloam
Wildlife Area to try and snare
poachers, Hill said.
"Sometimes, the reactions,
from different people who
have seen them can be very
comical," Hill said. "It's an
effective tool when used prop-
erly"
"I remember a couple years.
ago in Richloam, we set a
mounted deer up and we wait-
ed. It was opening day of gen-
eral gun season."
The decoy was set up in
woods, off the beaten path.
"One guy went through all
the motions of extracting his


gun, getting setup, putting his
gun on his shoulder and aim-
ing," she said. "He never did
shoot though, he put the gun
back and left.".
Hill figures the man may
have figured out that that ani-
mal wasn't the best of catches
when he looked closer at it


through his gun scope.
While a lot of people looked
at it, "nobody did break the
law that day," she said. "Most
people really are ethical
hunters but some just can't
resist."

A day of family fun and
entertainment is in store as
land for Hospice of Lake and
Sumter's newest facility is
dedicated this Saturday, April
2.

of Hospice services to
patients who are unable to
remain in their own homes,
Hospice officials said.
The Hospice House will be
the third built by Hospice of
Lake and Sumter to bring its


specialized comfort care to
the community, they
explained. While all three
facilities are' open to patients
coming from any location, the
Sumterville site will be more
convenient for those living in
central and south Sumter
County.
The Hospice House is being
named for Sumter County
business and community
leader Lane Purcell,
explained Hospice
Foundation Executive
Director. Ted Williams.
Purcell died in a vehicle acci-
dent earlier this year.
Purcell family members
and local dignitaries have
been invited to the occasion,
Williams said.

new facility will cost an esti-
mated $2 million, with a large
portion of that coming in the
form of donations from

attacked by dogs


By BOB REICHMAN
,Two pit bull dogs attacked a
Federal Emergency
Management Agency employ-
ee Saturday as she attempted
to locate the owner of a home
in Croom-a-Coochee.
The dogs attacked Linda
Pressley, 52, of Glenn Allen,
Va., when she entered proper-
ty on S.W 35th Drive, accord-
ing to sheriff's Lt. Bobby
Caruthers.
Pressley w'as attempting to,
contact the property owner,
Jonathan Stevens, when the
attack happened about 10:19
a.m., he said. She had a form
for the property owner to sign.
As Pressley approached the
home, she heard dogs barking
in the background, according
to Caruthers. "About 50 yards
from the house, she saw a
white pit bull puppy on top of
'the residence.
"She said she didn't see any
other dogs," Caruthers said.
"She stood in the driveway
.and yelled about five times for
the owner to come out Every
time she yelled, she heard
dogs barking."
When Pressley did not get a
response to her calls, she
started to leave.
"She saw two white pit bulls
coming down the driveway
toward her," he said.
Pressley held up her clip-
board in an attempt to keep
the dogs off her, Caruthers
said.
The male dog jumped
toward her, biting her right'
wrist, he said. Pressley struck
the dog on the head with the
clipboard and it released its
grip.
"After hitting, the male, she
swung at the female to keep
her off,", Caruthers said.
"When she did that, the male


again attacked her wrist and
the female attacked her left
leg."
Pressley was able to get
away from the animals and
ran to her car where she
called for help.
Pressley suffered about
seven puncture wounds to her
right wrist; several wounds to
her left thigh and two punc-
ture wounds below her knee.
She was transported to
Pasco Regional Medical
Center in Dade City where
she was treated and released
the same day, according to
hospital records.
In the meantime, both dogs
were impounded Saturday by
Sumter County Animal
Control.
The dogs will remain in
quarantine for 10 days, said
Animal Control Supervisor
John Hezlep. After that time
period, they will be returned
to their owner, Kimberly

Crop disaster assistance available


".USDA announces signup for
Crop Disaster Assistance
Program
Eligible producers may sign
up for the Crop Disaster
Program (CDP), a program
that authorizes crop loss assis-
tance for producers who suf-
fered 2003 or 2004 and certain
2005 crop losses from damag-
ing weather, announced
Laura Langford, County
Executive Director of the
Sumter/Citrus Farm Service
Agency. Signup began March
14. The closing date for this
signup will be announced at a
later date.
S"We are pleased to be able
to provide these benefits to
producers as quickly as possi-
ble," Langford said. "Drought,
floods and hurricanes are
unpredictable weather events
that put farmers and ranchers
at risk in producing a depend-
able and affordable national
food supply."


Eligibility for CDP is similar
to that of the 2001-2002 Crop
Disaster Program. Producers
suffering a greater than 35-
percent production loss
and/or more than a 20-percent
quality loss are eligible. The
payment rate for CDP has
been increased to 65 percent
of the established commodity
price for insured crops and
noninsured crops, and 60 per-
cent of the price for unini-
sured commodities.
Previous disaster assis-
tance provided payments of
50 percent of the established
commodity price for insured
and non-insurable crops and
45 percent for uninsured
crops.
The payment limit is
$80,000 per person for all
2003/2004/2005 CDP payments.
Losses on grass seed and'hay
are eligible.
Producers may apply for
CDP for any crops that are eli-,


gible for coverage under the
Federal Crop Insurance or
the Noninsured Assistance
Program. This program
results from Congressional
passage last October of the
Military Construction
Appropriations and
Emergency Hurricane
Supplemental Appropriations
Act, 2005 (the Act).
As part of the CDP imple-
mentation process, USDA has
prepared a fact sheet that con-
tains information about the
disaster assistance programs.

these issues, visit USDA's web

It's a painting with a two-
fold mission: It captures a
quieter time in Lake
Panasoffkee and it helps
fight cancer.
Next month, Florida's
"Original" Highwaymen

16-inch by 20-inch landscape
painting of Lake Panasoffkee
as it looked back in the 1800s.
The painting is being com-
posed from a photograph of
the lake furnished by Jim and
Eloise Veal, owners and
operators of Pana Vista Fish
Camp.
Lewis' painting is being
auctioned off at a silent auc-

Safety focus of Bushnell Police event PoliceROR E


AMANDA MOMus
Staff Writer

Bushnell Police
Administrative Capt. Joyce
Bullock says Vials of Life can
be just that, especially for eld-
erly people living alone.
A simple plastic container
kept on the top shelf of the
owner's refrigerator or inside
a person's vehicle can make a
big difference in times when
every second counts.
She and other Bushnell
police officers were outside
the police department on


March 26 giving this informa-
tion to the public, part of a
public safety event where
passersby were invited to stop
in, ask questions, and take
some free tools home.
A Vial of Life looks like a
prescription bottle, and con-'
tains forms with vital infor-
mation such as the person's
name, any prescriptions with
dosage, social security num-
ber, emergency contact infor-
mation, and allergies.
Recipients are instructed to
place a sticker on the window
of their vehicle or home that


shows emergency responders
there is a vial, and they know
where to find it
This information enables
emergency medical person-
nel can begin treatment more
quickly, Bullock said. "This is
a great tool. It saves a lot of
time."
On Saturday, they also gave
away gun locks and registered
bicycles for those who wished
to protect their property in
case of theft. They gave away
about 100 gun locks altogeth-
er and have 400 left, which
they intend to keep at the


police station for anyone
interested.
"If we save one person, one
child, it's worth it," Bullock
said. "We encourage anybody
with guns to stop in."
The Bushnell Police
Department has held similar
events over the last several
years, hoping to educate the
public on different safety
issues. Bullock said they are
planning on a bicycle safety
event in which they hope to
distribute helmets for chil-
dren, but a date has not been
set.

here is a movement in this
country to create new class-
,T es of people based on physi-
cal condition. The Terri Schiavo
situation, which has been highly
publicized, demonstrates this
point
I Different doctors have
!expressed their varying
opinions of Schiavo's
hiedical condition. One
said her EEG was flat
and another said with
therapy she could possi-
bly walk again. For my -~
part, I don't believe
either because the case
fhas been politicized to
the point of being ridicu- AMA
lbus and we're forgetting M1
the real question of life
br death. The truth is
probably somewhere in the mid-
dle.
t How much mental ability does a
person have to have before they
pre deemed unworthy of life?
Where do we draw the line and
Where will that line move in the
future?-
; Take a look around the county
and you'll see those with very lim-
ited mental capabilities. What's to
become of them when we're bring-
wng cases like this-to federal court
whose ruling can change their
lives? Until we have true respect
for the sanctity of human life, the
Weak and vulnerable in our socie-
ty are in danger.
There are many people in this
country who can only live with the
assistance of a life support, but
Christopher Reeve is one with
Whom I think most Americans are
familiar. Granted he was not
brain-damaged, but what would
have happened if he were not able
to speak? Would some of us have
thought it unnecessary and even
pruel to provide him with a.
Machine to keep him alive? He
fhad an obvious will to live and his
family supported him.
' Award-winning physicist
Stephen Hawking is another
example. Although he cannot
Walk, stand, write, or even feed
himself as a result of Lou Gehrig's
Disease, he communicates
through the use of a computer. As
pa 21-year-old graduate student at
Cambridge, he was expected to
die early in life. Hawking is now
56 years old, married, has three
children, and is considered to be a
Genius. The correlation here is
this: If he had been deprived of
the opportunity to learn and use
specialized equipment to accom-
modate his inability to communi-
pate normally, what would people
have, said about him then? Would
,We ,say his limited movements
"were instinctual and, since he has
ho hope of recovery or improve-
inent, he should then be bereft of
food and water?
In the Schiavo case perhaps it
would be more humane to walk
into her hospice room and shoot
per, and spare her the pain and
her family the agony of watching
her slowly starve and thirst to
death. If, as we've been told, she'll
has no awareness or feelings it
Would not hurt her. But would that
be considered murder? The
answer is yes, because she is a liv-
I


ing human being. Therefore it is,
also murder to deprive her of food
and water She is alive, regardless
of whether or not she has a chance
of improving. Another interesting
twist in this situation is that she
was given morphine on
-. her ninth day without
food and water To a per-
son proven to have no
feeling or awareness
whatsoever, why would
this be necessary?
There are no doubt
innumerable people in
this country who are
brain-damaged and
have little or no hope of
ANDA improvement, but that,
Isg doesn't give our govern-
ment the right to say
they must die.
I've heard many people at dif-
ferent times think of those in sim-
ilar situations and say, "I wouldn't
want to live like that" But people
are faced with it and those who
can do choose life. There isn't any
proof of Terri Schiavo's wishes
except the word of a husband no
one can seem to decide whether
or not has his wife's best interests
at heart for various reasons.
This case would be completely
different if her family could have
come to an agreement as to what
her wishes are or would have
been. Is it not better to err on the
side of life? Who will speak for
those who cannot speak for them-
selves?
There is rhetoric spewing forth
from our news media calling for
the protection of our right to die.
Our Declaration of Independence
states "...all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness..." I don't
remember reading in that or any
other historical American docu-
ment about a right to die. I've
always considered death as an
inevitable part of life, but never a
right.
The amount of influential peo-
ple in this country who choose to
fight vehemently for death and
against life is chilling.
The Oscar-winning euthanasia
advertisement cleverly disguised
as a motion picture, Million Dollar
Baby, shows just how the
American entertainment industry
thrusts political views on the
unwary public. The news media
also gives often slanted and limit-
ed information intended to sway
audiences one way or another. It is
up to the American people to
know their own morals and stop
giving more and more power to
media and government and to pre-
serve the authority granted to the
people by the U.S. Constitution.
The long-term problem we are
facing as a country is that the
issue has gone so far that now fed-
eral courts, not families, are mak-
ing these decisions. We are giving
them the power to choose who'
lives and dies and the precedent
has been set.
This leaves me with one fright-
ening question: What's next?

FHP launches 'Operation


Colonel Chris Knight, Director of'
the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP),
today announced plans for
"Operation Safe Break," sched-
uled now through April 28, to coin-
cide with spring break activities
throughout Florida. "We have
noticed through the years that dur-
ing spring break, many students
attempt to drive long distances at
high speed, in many cases, without
resting in order to reach their
spring break destination," said
Colonel' Knight. "These factors
sometimes result in drivers falling
asleep at the wheel and ending up
crashing, sometimes with unfortu-
nate results," he added.
Historically, March and April
have been the peak months each
year for traffic crashes in Florida.
These two months correspond with
several special events in Florida
which increase traffic volumes and
the 'types of travel that are more
likely to lead to traffic fatalities.
The special events, which actually
begin in February, cause an
increase in travel throughout the


state. Bike Week and race weeks in
Daytona Beach, Spring Break, and
Easter vacations all contribute to
an increase in the number of vehi-
cles on Florida's roadways. Add to
this the onset of the northern
migration of the state's "seasonal"
population and the scene, is set for
major traffic challenges.
In an effort to provide the citi-
zens and visitors of Florida with a
safe driving environment during
this period, the FHP will be con-
ducting Operation Safe Break
details in all ten field troops
statewide. Special overtime fund-
ing I provided by the Florida
Legislature will be used in order to
increase the presence of troopers
on interstates, state roads, the
Florida Turnpike, and other areas
where law enforcement presence
is essential. Troopers will be using
radar, laser, aircraft, Mercury
Marauders, and unmarked patrol
cars in their enforcement efforts.
"Through the use of selective
enforcement details and increased
visibility of our troopers, we hope

period this year," stated Colonel!
Knight Each FHP field troop has;
planned different enforcement1
activities for the duration of|
Operation Safe Break; however,i
the overall goals of the initiative
are the same:
To reduce traffic deaths,
injuries, and property damage
attributed to vehicular and pedes-
trian traffic.
To aggressively enforce all laws
related to traffic flow.
To reduce criminal activities
occurring on' targeted roadways
through detection, prevention, and!

To create a safer driving envi-1

concerning safety belt usage,
awareness of driving under the:
influence, and the hazards of'

To maintain high visibility patrol

while ensuring the safety of those

WORKFORCE CENTRAL FLORIDA'S MOBILE EXPRESS TO BENEFIT SUMTER COUNTY


WorkForce Central Florida's (WCF)
ONE-STOP CAREER CENTERS offer a
myriad of services to both job seekers and
employers. Job seekers have access to hun-
dreds of job listings, computers and Internet
access, seminars on resume writing, and
more. Employers can connect with the lar-
gest pool of talent in the area, apply for
training grants to upgrade the skills of cur-
rent workers, check out HR resources from
WCF's Lending Library, and much, much
more. WCF placed over 47,000 job seekers
into jobs last year at an average wage of
$9.19 per hour and served over 3,600
Central Florida employers.
What can WorkForce do for the com-
munity/job seekers? Individuals can do job
searches; prepare resumes and cover letters;
get on-site counseling; get on-site Career
Center Orientation; apply for unemploy-
ment; obtain tutorials in MS Windows,
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and
Access; get eligibility determination for
grant programs on-site.
What about businesses? WorkForce can
do pre-employment screening; employment
testing in MS Windows, Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Access and Outlook;
Employment testing for typing data entry,
customer service, and office skills. WCF
will promote the business' hiring event
within their One-Stop Career Centers, draw-
ing applicants to apply for employment
openings. It also provides assistance with
large layoffs to help transition employees
through unemployment.
These services are offered at no charge;
actually you have already "paid" for these
services through taxes, so why not take
advantage of them!
And take advantage, the Sumter County
residents and business now can! Instead of
residents and business owners having to
drive to a WCF One-Stop Career Center, the
closest of which is in Leesburg, WCF
recently acquired a 37-foot Mobile Express,

EMPIRE RESIDENT

CLEANING CO. (
Kenneth Neal's entry into the
cleaning business began at a very
early age. As a little boy, he used to
tag along with his father to keep
him company; eventually he started
doing floor jobs himself. At the age
of 15 he officially became an
employee in his father's business,
Super Scrub Janitorial Services,
Inc., where he soon became the
company manager. After 22 years,
Kenneth's father decided to close
the cleaning company and pursue
other interests. Remembering every-
thing that his father taught him,
Kenneth decided to go into business
for himself.in September 1999, and
started Empire Residential and
Commercial Cleaning Co. He is
pleased to provide his services to
you today.


,ALTERNATIVES TO THE HASSLE AND EKf


Are you angry with someone? Do you
think you might have to sue? There are
some alternatives available to work out a
disagreement with someone without hav-
ing to take it to Court. One alternative is
to ask an arbitrator to privately decide the
disagreement for you. Arbitration is a
somewhat informal process. It still has
rules, but you do not have to have an
attorney to understand them. Some situa-
tions can be arbitrated using rules that
you and the other party agree to use.
Arbitration is faster, easier and usually
much less expensive than going to Court.
You can submit your disagreement to
non-binding arbitration. In such case, if
you do not likd what the arbitrator
decides, you can still take the matter to
Court. If you choose binding arbitration,
your problem can be resolved and over
with at the end of the arbitration.
Another way to work out a disagree-
ment without going to Court is to take it
to mediation. You can go to mediation
before or even during a lawsuit. It is not
binding unless you reach a settlement that
you and the other party accept.
Mediation is also informal, without many
rules. It does not require a lawyer to rep-
resent you in the process. It is simple. It


is fast. 'It is an inexpensive way to tic
resolve a conflict with a neighbor, a fil
mechanic, a customer, or, if you and your Su
spouse are about to divorce you can use so
mediation to settle the issues between un
you. Ninety per cent of family matters do
nationwide successfully settle through is:
mediation. You and the other party know
your "disagreement" better than any arl
judge ever will. That puts you two in the yo
best position to decide how it should be wi
settled. The outcome of a case settled by co
mediation is determined by the parties to me
the disagreement. Research shows that the
"self-determined outcomes"-meaning do
cases that are settled based on terms that
both parties agree to-are more durable, as
Both arbitration and mediation are pr
private and have confidentiality rules. pre
Your disagreement will be heard in a are
private office, not a courtroom that is Mi
open to the public. Mediation and arbi- Bu
tration sessions are scheduled at your Su
convenience, not according to a Judge's eni
calendar. You do not have to wait months tra
and months, or even years, to get closure
to a deal that has gone wrong. You could to
have an outcome in weeks. Wi
On the downside, arbitrators anrd Me
mediators cannot compel anyone to par- me


or job seekers anything! So, Sumter County
folks, check it out. The Mobile Express will
be in our community.

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
greatinews for the veterans
who live in The Villages and
surrounding areas," said
Rep. Brown-Waite. "Area vet-
erans will have now have the
greater access to care and,
resources that they deserve. I
would also like to especially
thank The Villages for their
financial and physical com-
mitment to the clinic's
progress, including their gen-
erous land donation and
their investment in the veter-
an community. Without their
support this grand opening
would not be taking place."
Mr. George Gray, Jr., th'e 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-pri-
vate partnership between
the VA and the Villages and is
a strong advocate for pre-
serving 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 current-
ly 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
primary care to area veter-
ans until the South Marion
County multi-specialty clinic
is constructed. 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.

Taking a bite out of crime.


Move out drug dealers,
there is a new weapon in
town.The Bushnell Police
Department .has a new
weapon to help eliminate
drugs from the city. The
weapon consists of Officer
Joshua Sermons and his new
partner, canine Taz.
Taz, a yellow Labrador
Retriever, was donated to
Bushnell Police Department
by Ruff Haus Kennels: in
Leesburg. Both Sermons and
Taz went through eight weeks
of intensive training to
become Bushnell's first drug
and tracking team.
Officer Sermons has been
on the Bushnell Police force
for a year, and had expressed
an interest in becoming a
canine handler. So three
months ago, when Ruff Haus
Kennels offered Taz to the
Bushnell Police Department,
Officer Sermons accepted his
new position and the respon-
sibility of working and caring
for a dog.
Most working dogs are very
high energy and challenging
to work with. Taz is no excep-
tion. He has a very strong play
drive and food drive. While


going through training, Tax
excelled in everything.
Together now for three
months, Officer Sermons has
learned to read Taz, and to
understand his body language.
Each day Taz is anxious to go
to work and is willing to work
all day.
This past week, Officer.
Sermons and Taz did a
demonstration of a drug
search for the residents at
Blueberry Hill RV Park. They
have plans to do demonstra-
tions at the local schools.
Chief Wells is proud of the
new team, and feels they are a
great asset to the city of
Bushnell. The Bushnell Police
Department is seeking dona-
tions from local businesses to
help pay for a special kennel
for inside the patrol car. If the
patrol car's engine should
turn off, the kennel will sound
an alarm; roll down the win-
dows, and turn on a cooling
fan, to prevent Taz from over-
heating while in the patrol car.
This equipment is a necessity
in Florida.
Any business or individual
interested in contributing,
contact Chief Wells.

a math teacher at the school.
Lindsey will appear in the

"Recognizing and support-
ing our youth is more impor-
tant than ever before in
America's history. Certainly,
United States Achievement
Academy winners should be
congratulated and appreciat-
ed for their dedication to
excellence and achievement,"
said Dr. George Stevens,
Executive Director of the
United States Achievement
Academy.
The Academy selects USAA
winners upon the exclusive
recommendation of teachers,
coaches, counselors, and
other qualified sponsors and


Linasey uale iiiman

ities, responsibility, enthusei
asm, motivation to learn ano
improve, citizenship, attitude

dation from teacher or direct
tor.

Gordon and Linda Tillman
from Wildwood. Her grand-'
parents are Perry and Meryi
Locke and the late Mr. Carl If:
Tillman, Sr. of Oxford, and
Mrs.' Josephine Hatcher and"
the late Robert G. Hatcher, St.

tol


e have a "axer" for the broken



We have a "fixer" for the broken


Last May, when American
contractor Nick Berg was
beheaded in Iraq, I wrote
about the world being broken.
So very, very broken.
. Not quite a year later, our
world is still broken
- maybe even more
so. We are tragically,
horrifically broken.
On Easter week-
end, our community
is bidding farewell to
someone who lived
only nine years on
this earth before a
parent's worst night-
mare happened.
This weekend, she
should. be at. the NAI
county fair, riding KENI
the Gravitron, beg-
gi ng her grandma for
.cotton candy or a snow cone.
She should be setting out strap-
py sandals and a pink twirly
dress for Easter Sunday church.
In a world not broken, she
would be thinking about plastic
eggs filled with jelly beans and
fretting about homework not
done in time for school on


Monday.
She shouldn't be the center of
national media attention.
Geraldo Rivera and Larry King
shouldn't know her name. They
wouldn't if our world was not so
terribly broken.
."... But it is broken,
and so we bury pretty
9-year-old girls. We
watch helplessly and
hopelessly as
teenage boys shoot
up their schools and
then themselves. We
sit in restaurants and
debate whether a
brain-damaged
woman should live or
NCY die, asf we, the bro-
NEDY ken, la ve--authority
Cover life and death.
As if we can fix the
unfixable.
Last May I wrote:
"My husband tells me of the
soap opera lives of people he
works with. Never mind the
guests on Ricki Lake and Jerry
Springer, who may or may not be
telling the truth about the
bizarre goings-on in their lives.


The people my husband tells me
about are- real and breathing,
bleeding and, terribly, terribly
broken.
"The other day, I sat in a
restaurant and overheard snip-
pets of conversations going on
around me. At the same time,
the images of Nick Berg, the
man who was beheaded, flashed
on the television screen nearby.
"Conversations drifted from
politics to local sports to rising
gas prices. 'It's all the presi-
dent's fault,' someone offered.
'They're all a bunch of crooks,'
said someone else.
"One man got up to leave and,
although I can't be sure, he
appeared to be drunk Someone.
announced that he'had been
doing this 'every dayfor 12 years
- his car automatically knows
how to get home.'
"I wanted to stop him I
probably should have. I wanted
to tell him that we're all broken,
that I'm broken too, but that
Jesus can fix us.
."On television, we vote people
off the island, cheer when The
Donald says, 'You're fired.' We


revel in public humiliation. We
are coarse and rude. We put dog
collars on naked Iraqi prisoners
and pose for the camera.
"We give birth to babies, put
them in plastic bags and toss
them in trashcans. .We strap
bombs to our children and send
them into crowded cafes.
"We are alcoholics and porn,
food and drug addicts. We steal
because we want to, not because
we're in need. We lie to protect
ourselves. We keep score; we
are cold and unfeeling, self-cen-
tered and unforgiving....
"We are broken..so very, very


broken."
And that, dear. friends, is the
crux of Easter. We are broken
and unable to fix ourselves or
our broken world. But God,
while we were at our most help-
less and hopeless, sent Jesus to
be our world's fixer. To take our
sin the very sin that broke it
in the first place and
exchange it for his sinlessness,
to die the death we deserve (and
that he didn't) so wecan have an
unbroken life forever on the
other side of this broken one.
Perhaps the one ray of hope
in the story of Jessica Lunsford


is that she was loved by a church
who taught her that, although
this world is so very, very broe
ken, it won't always be so. That."
long ago, early on a Sunday
morning, a once-dead Jewish
carpenter walked out of the
grave a King. A Redeemer. A^

Fixer of the broken. A,
Righter of wrongs done to lit-
tle girls. ',
Almighty God, who gave
himself to be crucified, dead-,
buried and resurrected. .
A Savior. is|
One who will come agaih!
and make'all things new. 4T

VL So ma.be money's not everyone's favorite subject. But paying attention

no%% may v.ell keep you from having to pay dearly later. 0 Let's begin with

the concept of being a member of a credit union %ersus being -a customer

at a bank See, a bank's main goal is to offer stockholders ways to make

mones. Whereas, a credit union's mail, goal is to offer members ways to save

money. you'll find evidence of this at Suncoast. Just ask about our car

loans with rates as low as 4.75o APR'. Or our certificate accounts paying

earnings as high as 4.70o0 APY". Then there's free checking. free

.\TM access. free on-line banking and bill pay and free advice from financial

experts. These arejust a few reasons Suncoast has grown to become the largest

credit union in Florida. and the sc'.enth largest in the country. .All of

this newfound knowledge kind of makes you wonder wh\ you didn't look

into becoming a member sooner. Let's just consider it a lesson learned.

Appeals, which disagreed with
the lower court, basically
agreeing with Cohen, et al.,
that the county's position was
in violation of the ADEA.
The case then went to the

There were other court bat-

GOBBLE

continued from Page 1
Robo-turkeys are not cheap,
costing around $700 a piece,
and since they are not bullet-
proof, they often have a short


lifespan. That is why NWTF
has stepped in to offer assis-
tance.
"Our group made a commit-
ment to provide the mechani-
cal birds to all five FWC
regional offices," NWTF
Florida Chapter President
Bill Marvin said. "We appre-
ciate the agency's commit-
,..:, i O TIM


ment to enforcing wildlife
laws and want to help officers
with their efforts."
NWTF has donated a total
of 15 birds to the agency dur-
ing the last three years.
The five new robo-turkeys
include four gobblers and one
hen.

Lawns If you did not fertil-
ize the lawn last month, it is
OK to do so now. Thatch is the
area between the soil and the
green. If the layer becomes
excessive, now is a good time
to verticut the lawn. DO NOT
do this in the fall. If the
thatch layer is not
excessive, don't bother
with the expense.
Keeping fertilizer and
water to a minimum
will in time reduce the j
thatch layer.
Thatch is not a collec-
tion of dead, grass
leaves, it is an accumulation
of living and dead runners,
stems, roots, tree and shrub
leaves. Excessive thatch caus-
es problems by impending the
movement of nutrients and
water. Excess thatch is most
*often due to over fertilization
and over watering. If exces-
sive buildup should occur,
April and May are the best
months to have the lawn verti-
cut
Damaged lawns can be
seeded (Bahia) or plugged
(ST. Augustine) from April
through July. Avoid the
"Miracle Grass" seeds from
other states, as none of them
have done well in our climate.
If you are serious about
your lawn, purchase the
FLORIDA LAWN HAND-
BOOK, published by the
University of Florida. It con-
tains all available informa-
tion. on selection, establish-
ment, maintenance, and pest
control, and is well worth the
investment. Order through
the Sumter County Extension
office.
Summer annuals add color
to your landscape. Now is the
time to replace those worn
out winter annuals. Some sug-


gestions are, celosia, coleus,
crossandra, dusty miller,
gazania, impatiens, daisy,
marigold, nicotinia, ornamen-
tal pepper, pentas, phlox, por-
tulaca, salvia, verbena, vinca,
zinnia, and more.


Vegetable gardens are pop-
ular for the spring season in
Sumter County and it's hard
to beat the flavor you get from
fresh produce. Rather than
overhead sprinklers, Why not
try drip hoses for irrigation of
your vegetables? This con-
serves water and places mois-
ture directly on the root zone
of the plant Drip irrigation
has been shown to enhance
disease control as some fungi
are spread by the action of
water droplets hitting the soil.
Finally, use of drip irrigation
will enhance the action of fer-
tilizer as less leaching is like-
ly to take place than with tra-
ditional overhead systems.
There is still time to plant
snap beans, pole beans, lima
beans, sweet corn, can-
taloupe, eggplant, okra, south-
ern peas, pepper plants,
pumpkin, summer squash,
sweet potatoes and more.
Palms, now through the
growing season is the best
time to plant palms. Fertilize
established palms now, if not
done already. Use a good
quality palm fertilizer or add
magnesium and manganese
later, if fronds begin to loose
their healthy green color.


Miscellany When planting
a containerized shrub or tree,
follow these steps: Dig a hole
as deep as the root ball and
two to three times as wide.
Plant at the exact same depth
as the soil line in the contain-
er. Make a soil ring
around the root ball, and
water thoroughly.
Backfilling with organic
matter is not the benefit
it was once thought to be.
Woody plants extend
their roots laterally to
about three times the
branch width. Enriching
a relatively small area does
no good and may in fact
retard establishment.
Butterflies are some of our
most colorful backyard visi-
tors. In addition to nectar and
larval plants in your garden,
provide butterflies with a
puddling (drinking) area. Use
any container that will hold
moisture, add pebbles, soil or
sand, and keep it saturated
with water.
Plant clinics are held at the
extension office in Sumter
County 793-2728 on
Thursday, Marion County
620-34440, and Lake County
343-4110; as well as 1 to 4 p.m.
on the first Monday of every
month at the Sumter County
Annex on County Road 466;
and a Florida Friendly
Landscape Series is held
from 330-5pm on second
Wednesday of every month at
the Lake Panasoffkee
Recreation Center, located at
1852 County Road 457.

Coon hunting on a new moon


In my opinion there is no
activity in the realm of
hunting taking place
within the confines of the
U.S. that is any
more traditional
than chasing coons
at night with the
aid of a couple of w
well-trained I
hounds.
As a young boy
growing up in the
wilds of North
Florida messing
around with coons
in one way or
another was almost JAMIE
a daily occurrence Outdoo
for me and my bud- ---
dies.
A lot of times back in those,
days, during the cold months
when coon skins would
prime up, I would set -a few
leg hold steel traps in the
woods with high hopes of
catching and making a little


much needed pocket change
from the sale of the hides
taken from the coons I
caught, and more often than
not I could also sell
some of the coon
meat to boot.
Incidentally,
coon meat is not all
that bad of table
fare if it is cleaned
and prepared
right.
The main trick in
getting a coon
ready for cooking
is to make
ADAMS absolutely sure it
r Writer on the young side
-- and you take the
time to get rid of all
the stink glands located down
inside the muscle meat.
If you don't get shed of
those troublesome glands the
meat will be tainted and sub-
sequenitly have, a gamey
smell and taste to it.


This situation is what
turns most folks off when
they try to cook and enjoy a
mess of coon meat.
Anyhow, every chance we
got, back in those yester years
in addition to trapping coon,
us shirt-tailed boys would
catch up our hounds and
spend a night coon hunting.
Back then, we did not have a
bunch of fancy high-bred
coon hounds.
Our hound dogs stayed
around the house, out in the
yard, not in a pen and slept
under the house ready to go
when beckoned.
Our dogs not only served us
well in hunting but they were
expected to watch out
around our house for
strangers or anything else
that did not belong.
When needed, our dogs
would chase any kind of crit-
ter they were put on from a
chicken stealing possum to a


deer. We boys did not care all
that much as to what track
they took to as long as we
could get a good race going so
our hounds could eventually
bay up or tree whatever they
happened to be after at the
time.
Mainly we just caught a
bunch of coons but every now
and then the hounds might
take the track of a hot fox or
bobcat and get a race going.
Several times I remember
the hounds even bayed up a
few otters.
Otter hides were a special
treasure and sure enough
brought us boys some big
money and anytime we could
get our hands of a pri me otter
hide it meant we could make
some serious money and
maybe even enough to out
right buy or at the very .least
make a strong down payment
on a,new 22-rifle or shotgun
at the local Western Auto


Store.
Anyway, that's enough ram-
bling on about coon hunting
in the past. This article is
supposed to be about a coon
hunt I went on this last week
end with several of my hunt-
ing buddies who have some
prize coon hounds they are
mighty proud of.
A couple of times a year, we
all try to get together for a fun
filled night of coon hunting
letting the hounds run and
hopefully treeing a few coons
and then grilling up a bait of
greasy sausage during the
middle of the hunt or some-
times right after 'the hunt is
over.
Rodney Greathouse is the
head man of the local coon
hunters club and I joined
him, John Steed, Mike Knight
along with Travis Strickland
to hunt a private piece of
land right next to the
Withlacoochee River near


the Wahoo Swamp.
Folks, coon hunting' is
rough along the shoreline of
this part of the river and3 is
not for the meek If you .vn-
ture into that thick jungle |ou
had better' have some g-od
coon hounds and be re-
pared to do a little deep
water wading and more of n
than not plan on taking iman
all-night hunting trip.
Well, as things turned Eut,
and we had picked a od
night to hunt because he
moon was just starting to se
on the horizon just as the f st
hounds were cast.
Apparently the coons w re
on the move because no soon-
er had the hounds hit the
ground than we had our fir-st
race of the night going in ftlI
swing. V3
Coons usually don't'runtoo
far before they will find atall
tree to climb. That is exactly
what the, first coon vwe
jumped did as well as 4he
half dozen other coons Mthe
hounds jumped and treed
that night.
After a coon is treed, ihe
trick is to locate him by sln-
ing a light up in the brances
trying to shine, the coon ems.
Often times the coon ill
hide real good in the n ss
and branches and you h ve
to take. a coon squaller 4&id
imitate the sounds of a r ad
or distressed coon to mal it
move around so you an
either then shoot the coo or
tally him as a treed coon 'or
points.
.1I have Primos model 410
coon squaller that will make
a hid coon come out and !do
the boogie when you sound it.
off. The coon can't sound the
ruckus the Primos coon q^all
makes and will start to mnve
around and let you see his
eyes.
To say the least, we hat a
good time coon hunting ahd
plan on going again in a few
weeks. .5
Coons are really a problem
in a lot of places and ,ese-
,cially around watermelon
picking time. This is the tine
when coon hunters get anLx-
ious calls from the local fainm-
ers to come out to their place
and -try to reduce the ccoon
populations. I
Coons are cute but tltey
also can be a real nuisance if
not kept under control.

Freshw


not re(


















Now's the time to gas up the truck,.
load up the kids, break out your fishing
geqr and go fishing!
4pril 2 and 3, you won't even need a
license to fish in freshwater, here in
Florida the number-one destination
for;anglers from all over the world.
Bass, bream and crappie they all
stait biting this time of year here in the
state that claims bragging rights to the
title "Fishing Capital of the World."
'1he Florida Legislature and the Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) set aside one weekend per year
foriresidents and visitors to enjoy fresh-
water fishing without having to worry
ab6ut buying a fishing license.
Bob Wattendorf, an FWC fisheries
biologist who helps promote the annual
evont, said the Free Freshwater Fishing


ater Fishing License


iuired April 2 and 3


Weekend is an opportunity for par-
ents to open a whole new world of
adventure with their children.
"When you see a child catch his
first fish and hear the squeals and
screams and you watch the breath-
less excitement," Wattendorf said,
"you're seeing a magical moment the
child will remember forever. And
someday, the child may pass that
moment on to yet another generation
and carry on the centuries-old tradi-
tion of fishing in Florida."
Free fishing weekend isn't just for
kids, though. It offers a convenient
opportunity for adults who haven't
caught a fish in a while to get reac-
quainted with angling, and do it in
some of the waters that have yielded
more than 700 world-record fish
catches.
"It doesn't take much of an invest-
ment to go fishing here," Watteidorf
said. '"A can of worms, a cane pole
and a few hours of leisure time are all
it takes to get started.
There is no point in Florida that is
more than a few minutes drive from
some kind of fishing opportunity."
Besides all that, you get to eat fresh
fish when you go. fishing, and every
angler knows the fresher the fish, the
more delicious it is on a plate beside
some cheese grits, cole slaw, hushpup-
pies and maybe some pork and beans or
a little potato salad.,
Free fishing-weekend applies to
freshwater fishing only. .
Florida residents who take advantage
of free fishing weekend and decide to
settle into a lifestyle of recreational
freshwater fishing in this state's waters
may want to check into another promo-
tion the FWC has in. progress.


-The first 3,000 Florida residents to
purchase the $61.50 five-yeay freshwa-
ter fishing license will receive $80
worth of free hooks, lures, fishing line,
magazines and other goodies like t-
shirts and fishing towels.
"This is a great way to help contribute
to the future of fish and wildlife conser-
vation in Florida," Wattendorf said.
'"Anybody who is interested can get
mbre information including up-to-date
information about whether the 3,000
limit still is open at MyFWC.com."
Anglers who plan on buying a boat
and pick the right make can save $250
on gear to outfit the vessel if they buy
the five-year license during the promo-
tion. '
Fishing licenses are available at
county tax collectors' offices, license
agents, online at MyFWC.com or over
the phone at 1-888-FISH FLORIDA.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005, PAGE 27



Summer camp is scheduled for forest


Register now for summer
camp in the Ocala National
Forest.
Do your children long to
spend their summer days in
the great outdoors?
Would they love the chance
to learn about wildlife from
the experts, or swim, hike
and canoe with other chil-
dren their age?
Then it's time to sign them
up for the Ocala Outdoor


Adventure Camp at the
Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission's
(FWC) Ocala Conservation
Center in the Ocala National
Forest.
The summer camp is for
boys and girls ages 10-15, and
is based on wildlife conserva-
tion, firearm safety and out-
door skills. This year the
camp offers five one-week
sessions
with all
new pro-
beginning
on-June 19.
The pri-
mary goal of
the camp pro-
gram is to provide chil-
dren with the necessary
skills' and knowledge to


become better sportsmen
and women, while instilling
an awareness of firearm safe-
ty, conservation and wildlife
stewardship. In addition,
campers will fish, canoe,
swim, hike and participate in
many other outdoor activi-
ties.
Tuition is only $295 per
camper per week, and
includes lodging, food, pro-
gram materials and instruc-
tion for each session.
Each weeklong session is
divided into four groups
based on their individual
focus: Wild about Wildlife,
Wet and Wildlife, Hunting
and Hunter Safety, and
Expedition. All programs are
new or significantly revised
in format and scope from
previous years.
"Campers in Wild about
Wildlife, a new' program this
year, will have a chance to go
wild exploring nature," said
Cardinal Collins, director of
the Ocala Conservation
Center.
"They will learn about
wildlife management, and
enjoy many camp activities
including basic wilderness
survival and field first-aid
training, canoeing, fishing,
hiking, shooting sports, and
other hands-on outdoor pro-
grams.
For those who simply can't
resist the water, the camp has
another new program aptly
named Wet and Wildlife.
"This program gets into the


fun of fishing, marine ecology
and boating safety. In addi-
tion to the traditional camp
activities already described
above, Wet and Wildlife
campers will have the oppor-
tunity to become certified in
the FWC's Boater Safety
Course," said Collins.
For the intermediate level
camper, the camp offers the
Hunting and Hunter Safety
group.
"These campers will learn
about wild game and its habi-
tat, and apply this to develop-
ing ethical hunting skills.
Then they will have a chance
to get their hunter safety cer-
tification.
"They will receive firearm
safety as well as shotgun and
rifle shooting instruction
from National Rifle
Association (NRA) certified
range safety officers.
And, they will receive
archery instruction
from National Archery
Associa-tion certified
instructors, while par-
ticipating in numerous
shooting range activi-
ties.
They will also
have a chance to -
participate in
many camp activi-
ties including
basic wilderness
survival and field
first-aid training, -,-
canoeing, fishing,
hiking, and other
hands-on outdoor.


programs," said Collins.
The final program is for
advanced campers who have
already completed a hunter
safety course.
"The Expedition group is
designed for the camper with
an avid interest in the out-
doors who has already suc-
cessfully completed the
hunter safety course," said
Collins.
"Expedition is an outdoor
adventure, including a trip
into the forest for two days of
primitive camping.
Before leaving base camp,
campers will prepare for this
experience by learning the
fundamentals of
wilderness
survival, ori-
enteering,
backpack-
ing and
campsite
prepara- -
tion." t


The Ocala Conservation
Center is located on a 57-acre
peninsula rich in history and
wildlife in beautiful Marion
County in north Central
Florida. Located just 20
miles east of Ocala, it is beau-
tifully situated on Lake
Eaton in the heart of the
Ocala National Forest
The facilities are rustic, yet
comfortable, with air-condi-
tioned cabins and dining
hall. Classrooms are fishing
piers, shooting ranges,
nature trails, Lake Eaton,
and the vast Ocala National
Forest
