Established 1881 SUMMER COUNTY VOLUME 121 NUMBER 14 35 CENTS INSIDE Calendar ............11 Church ............. .6 Obituaries ........... .7 Police Report ......... .3 Tidbits ............. .17 THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 20051 It's Relay for Life weekend This is the weekend! The weekend for fun and laughs - for entertainment and honor- ing survivors. It's the weekend for Sumter County's annual Relay for Life- slated to take place at the Sumterville campus at Lake Sumter Community College. The 18-hour campout is Jam-packed with things to do and people to see. The event Wildwood creates police user fees AMANDA MIMs Staff Writer .Wildwood residents may pay an additional $5 a month for police protection when 1hey pay their utility bills. Recently, the Wildwood City commission unanimously approved a new ordinance to charge a user fee for police services. The fee will be used to pay for three new police officers, estimated to cost about $150,000. The proposed $5 fee will be tacked on to the monthly util- ity bills of Wildwood resi- dents. City Council members agreed to the levy because current property tax assess- ments only provide $600,000 in revenue for the city while the budgeted amount for law enforcement is more than $1 million. Wildwood Police Chief Don Clark said the potential posi- tions the additional revenue will provide will greatly bene- fit the police department. "This will give us extra cov- erage on patrol, more man- power on the st reets," he said. "We actually lost one man last year when a grant ran out. He was a school resource officer, but we used him on the road too." All i3 law enforcement offi- pcers, including the police chief and investigator, work road patrol. :Clark also said that during the last year, citizens have become more active in report- ing crime and suspicious activity in their areas, and the department has provided the extra coverage they request "But when we obligate a cer- tain area for more officers, we're lacking in other areas of the city." He said through the last several years, the police department received 1,000. Please see FEES, Page 2 is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. If you don't plan to camp out and haven't taken part in a team, that doesn't mean a thing! You can still come out on Friday and Saturday for the fun. This year's event chair is Gidget Gibson, of the Sumter County Clerk's Office. She's leading the pack with event co-chair Julie Pacheco. What exactly does that mean for A residents who'd like to drop by for R some of the fun? This year it means 34 teams putting' on the fun - from an evening talent show to chal- lenging each other in contests. The evening begins with a survivor's reception, where more than 4 100 cancer sur- vivors will be hon- ELAY ored as the event R LIFE kicks off. Registration for survivors is at 4:30 p.m. Campsite set-up is 3 p.m. and open- ing ceremonies are slated for 6 p.m. The Reels are on at 7 p.m., donating their musical talents to the annual event. Their appearance has become tradi- tion at the Sumter relay. She said they have 'A great night of fun and activities planned for all ages." A talent show will showcase a variety of talents from all the teams and then.from midnight- to 9 a.m. games are slated for every hour, Gibson said. The game fun ranges from THE HUNT IS ON Photos by Brenda Locklear Easter eggs, Easter eggs everywhere!

Wildwood Police Officer Cliff Adams stopped a driver, Mathis Leroy Walker, 26, because of the dark tint on the windows of his vehicle, said Wildwood Police Captain Eddie Reeser. Upon approaching the vehicle, Adams detected the scent of burnt marijuana, Reeser said. Adams got permission from the suspect to search the vehi- cle and offered to help the handicapped Walker by retrieving his wheelchair from the back of the vehicle, Reeser said. Adams then noticed a bulge in the man's right front pocket, the shape of which was consistent with that of a pocketknife. When Adams asked about Please see ARREST, Page 2 Times wins 8 editorial awards It's been a winning week for the Sumter County Times edi- torial staff.

"We are very proud to be able to dedicate this house to Lane Pu'rcell," Hospice Chief Executive Officer Pat Lehotsky told the crowd of several hundred people. Purcell, who was the owner of Purcell Funeral Home, died early this year in a vehi- cle accident His son, Justin Purcell was honored by the dedication. "He was always a big fan of Hospice," he said earlier in the day.

There was food, music by the Hospice choir, children's entertainment that included a serious work during the event One major goal that day was to spread information about two bills in the house and sen- ate that would allow for-profit hospices. "In this particular instance, not-for-profit is the way to go," said Community Relations Manager Julia Allen. 'A not-for-profit can provide such comprehensive services the for-profit can't provide." She said because of the nature of the business, a for-profit would be limited to providing services covered by insurance whereas places like Hospice of Lake and Sumter provide services based on Please see HOSPICE, Page 2 PAGE 2, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 AWARDS continued from Page 1 Staff Writer Brenda Locklear won an award for news writ- ing.

"Through the philanthropy in this community we can do this in the next couple of months," he said. Among. others who spoke there was Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite, who used her short time on stage to express gratitude to the peo- ple of Hospice. "These are the most com- passionate people in the whole wide world," Brown- Waite told the audience.

"We're very excited about the youth participation this year," she said, pointing out that they have 11 teams. Each of the two high schools have three teams, Lake Panasoffkee Elementary School has two teams, South Sumter Middle School has two teams and Webster Elementary School has one team. The luminaria ceremony is just at dark and more than 350 loved ones who have passed on will honored with the candle walk. : If you're hungry, there's plen- ty to choose from. FEES continued from Page 1 calls in an average month, but that number has since gone up by 50 percent and appears to be increasing, every month. "They're stretched pretty thin right now," he said. Wildwood city commissioners and Mayor Ed Wolf also saw the need to generate money for city law enforcement "Even though we're a town with less than four thousand people, we're. responsible for every car passing through the city," Wolf said, including traffic generated by the nearby Villages. . "I think this would hurt the residents less this way than any other Way we could address the problem," he said. "The only other method of doing it would be with ad valorem taxes. We could double them and not gen- erate enough money." Wolf explained when the idea was discussed at budget ses- sions last summer, the commis- sion talked about a five-dollar monthly fee, but the actual amount would have to be passed by a resolution made by the commission. "That 40 or 50 percent of folks Gibson said they've got sever-, al "diners" open and the treats available will range from cheese fries and root beer floats to bar- becue ribs, chicken and chili. -. In the morning, teams will have breakfast specials avail-. able, with grits and bacon and egg sandwiches. Aside from food, some, campers will have cookbooks, purple hope bracelets and other items for sale. One team is even working on a dance and karaoke. Gibson used to work for Leesburg Regional' Medical Center and originally got involved through the hospital.. But since then, it's become, more personal for her. "I lost both my father and my. grandfather to cancer and I have an aunt and a grandmother who. are both survivors of cancer,"-' she said. Money raised from the event' and from items sold at the event~' is passed on to the American Cancer Society. The agency uses the funds to provide assistance to cancer victims. That means providing everything from infor- mation and transportation to wigs and prosthesis. Some of the funds are also used for research in battling the disease. Each of the 34 teams gathers . $1.000 to donate, along with any special effort they make to add to their total. who aren't paying anything in taxes toward police services...are basically getting a free ride," he said. 4 Wolf said there hasn't been any resistance from .residents, and he didn't expect any. "When you consider five dol- I lars to hire three additional peo-. ple to make the city a safer . place, it's not that much money,"' he said. "I don't think five dol- lars will hurt anybody. I think, we're being very fair." Wolf explained that this. will affect about 2,300 'people who have utility accounts for city water, sewer, and trash services' but not those who are served outside the city. It's estimated" that user fees will bring ii'- $12,000 per month. "I don't know when the corn-' mission will decide to impose this," he said, but when they do "we could improve law enforce- ment in the city. We could spend more time in those areas of con- cern." Wolf said the ordinance requires that this revenue be used solely for new positions, so it could not be tised to supple- ment existing ones or for any purpose other than law enforce- ment - "We may be on the cutting edge of this," he said. "I don't know of anybody that has structured it exactly like we:' have." Lane Purcell Hospice House. avow Sumter County Times in the , Landmark Community- Newspapers 2004 editorial awards contest.

Bikers ride for good cause AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer -On Hondas .and Harleys, bikers rode out on April 2 to the Blue Heron Pilot Club poker run to have a good time apd support people with brgin-related disorders and injuries., "'It was really good. We enjoyed it," said Bushnell res- ident and motorcycle enthusi- ast Zehda Slone as she relaxed on, a bale of hay in frpnt of the courthouse with several other bikers. -She said she and her hus- band Bill often ride on the weekends, 'and thought this would be a way to support a good cause and have fun in the process. They, like several others on Saturday, had never participated in a poker run before, but said they would definitely do it again, ,The ride started out at the Sbmter County Courthouse in Bfishnell and went through Webster, then to Hernando aRd Citrus counties, and even- tdally back to Bushnell. The rile took about two hours to complete, with five stops along the way where partici- |pnts would pick up cards until the end when they'd col- lected enough to have a poker hand. There were prizes, for the people with the best and worst hands, as well as draw- ings for 90 other prizes, including restaurant gift cer- tificates, free oil changes, and motorcycle care kits. - Christina Thibodeau, pilot club committee chairperson, said she wanted to try to raise money this way because she and her husband Chris are motorcycle enthusiasts and thought this would be' a good way to 'incorporate the two interests and raise money. Although the turnout wasn't quite what Pilot 'Club mem- bers would've liked, they did manage to raise a little money and didn't seem to be discour- aged. "We'd like to make this an annual event and bring more .people into the area," Thibodeau said. The Blue Heron Pilot Club supports local people with brain-related injuries. They have donated to Lifestream Behavioral Center, intro- duced residents at Osprey Point Nursing Home to email and computers, and even donated American flags to the City of Bushnell. AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer Wildwood residents Diane and Tommy Long never expected that their 16-year-old miniature horse would. be nationally recognized as one of America's most talented,pets. Sunny, who stands just 31 /2 .inches tall, was a big star on March 25 when he came out ahead of four of five .other finalists in the America's Most Talented Pets competition on the NBC-TV "Today" program. He wowed the audience and the judges by taking a letter out of a mailbox and hitting a plastic golf ball using a.small child's golf club he swung from his mouth. "He's a little ham," Tommy said. "The more they clap, the better he'll' perform." And he had more applause than ever outside the New York studio where the show was filmed, as hundreds of people watched him do his favorite tricks. It was only a week earlier when the Longs saw the con- test advertised on television. "We saw a horse with a paintbrush in its mouth (on the commercial) and we thought our miniature horse could do a lot better," Tommy said. Three days after they sent their video of the talented equine, they got a call from the show's produc- ers inviting them to appear "When we got the call, we were on cloud nine," Diane said. The following day, they set out for New York City. In the end, Sunny came in second out of a total of over 200 entries. The overall win- ner was a dog that did an acro- batic routine with its owner. Even though they didn't win, the Longs said they were happy to be on the show and that their horse was recog- nized. "It was very, very exciting and interesting. It was quite an experience," Diane said. "He's like a little person," Diane said. "We've worked with 20 minis and he's the smartest."

I believe that's true in the case of Terri Schiavo. This young woman - described by friends as shy and quiet, and as someone who shunned the spotlight educated an entire nation, much of the world in fact Regardless of our views on the ethical, legal and constitutional issues surrounding her case, we all can agree that more people than ever know the importance of hav- ing end-of-life discussions with their family, doctor, clergy or attor- ney. This is why in the Senate I'm sup- porting two different bills aimed at further increasing people's aware- ness of living wills and making it easier to fill them out One of these bills would cover a doctor's office visit for all Medicare patients to discuss end-of-life med- cious. Nothing legally could stop the roller coaster inhumane mistreat- ment of handicap Terfi Schiavo. It was not that long ago women were routinely abused by their spouses!, many lost their lives. Husband Michael Schiavo stood guard that not a drop of water touch Terri Schiavo's lips as her lips cracked ical choices, and fund a public edu- cation campaign to inform Americans of all ages about the importance of filling out living wills. The other would ,require state driver license agencies to pro- vide interested persons 'with easy access to information on living wills similar to the way people are informed about organ donation. I.believe Congress is now in a position to help spare other fami- lies the kind of suffering experi- enced by Terri's relatives by enact- ing this living-wills legislation. Certainly the last few weeks have been difficult for all involved. Even the actions of Congress raised questions over whether federal lawmakers overstepped their bounds. N As you may know, I did not sup- port the first version of the so- called Terri Schiavo law, because I felt it could have undermined the medical privacy of every single and blood came from her tongue. Legislation must be enacted to protect the handicapped. The mockery of filibustering well-quali- fied judicial candidates must cease. The USA needs a balanced judi- ciary and hope for the handicap.

I also disagreed with a second version, partly because it would -have given Terri's parents another long year to file an appeal. The third version to give the par-, ents one final judicial review in a reasonable time frame one month, instead of a year was one I felt I, could support In my view, that nar- rowly worded bill covering only Terri's case presented a way to finally settle the family's unending dispute. And that's what I as a par- ent would have wanted one last say on behalf of my child. Terri's life tragically was cut: short, but her legacy will be far- reaching, especially if Congress passes living-wills legislation in the wake of her passing.

She's the one who con- viniced me to go with her to do laundry for hurri- cane relief work- ers after Hurricane Charley destroyed central Florida last year. I had gone just that one time, but Joan went back , repeatedly. Joan ,;i4 has one of those kind hearts that I only dream of hav- NAM ing. I'm hoping if I ENN spend more time K with her that some of her kindheart- edness will rub off on me. Joan has never met an ugly dog. There's no such thing as a stray as long as she has four walls and a roof. She likes people, too she adopts those as well. II ME During one of her laundry trips last fall, Joan wandered over to the makeshift animal shelter and put her name on about a dozen or so dogs to take home in case their owners didn't claim them. She ended up with Charlie, named after the hurricane that left him homeless. Charlie is a brown and white cocker spaniel; only when Joan first saw him, he was mostly a ball of matted fur and cY flea bites. ELY If you, could choose any dog in the world, Charlie would probably not be your first choice. He might not even be your last choice. You might've said, "Put that dog out of its misery." But Joan doesn't think any dog is too far gone to love. For Band performs for cancer benefit For the fourth year in a row, and helplessness.

The dog looks odd, but it wags its tail when it walks. Charlie does, too. After being adopted by Joan, after having its matted coat shaved bare, after being de-wormed and de-everythinged, after being loved and fed and loved some more, Charlie has turned into a brand new dog. He was recently certified as a service dog, a dog with a pur- pose. I was thinking about Charlie and about another brand-new (human) friend while watch- ing a video clip at church last week, a scene from "The Passion of the Christ." Carrying his cross to Golgotha, Jesus tells his mother that he is making "all things new." Although the gospels don't record Jesus saying that before his death, he does say it after his Resurrection. In Revelation 21:5 John the apos- tle sees Christ upon his throne saying, "Behold, I make all things new." Some people think the world is hopelessly winding down, that. it's progressively getting worse, "going to hell in a hand basket" as some say. Some think Jesus will return to claim his own any minute now, so why bother trying to make things better? Why not sit back, hunker down and wait for Armageddon? Other folks, however, think that while we're waiting for Jesus to return, we should work to restore, refresh and renew. To rule and subdue and to advance God's kingdom on the earth. They believe that he is all about making things new now, as well as later. That's what I tend to think That in the middle of incredi- ble disaster and destruction and the terribleness of life, lives are being changed and made new. Just like Joan taking a lost and near-hopeless dog, left homeless in a storm, adopting it and giving it a.new name and a new purpose, so God is taking lost and near-hopeless lives and doing the same. No, God does greater things he gives those he rescues his own Spirit and begins to conform them into his own likeness. Last week was Easter, bilt the message of new life doeS. n't end with the turning ofaP calendar page. God came to-da broken earth to seek and said the lost and restore them It new life. To give them a future and a hope. He still comes, hed still makes all things new. You might even say h4 makes tails wag and heart rejoice again. ;1 Nancy Kennedy is th, author of "Move OvdvE Victoria I Know the Rep Secret," "When Perfect I Enough" and her latest boo, "Between Two Loves" ad' "Praying With Women of the Bible."

We want to keep you informed about the. excellent water and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is and always has been, to provide to you a: dependable supply of drinking water. Our water source is ground water from two wells. The wells draw from the Floridian Aquifer and are chlorinated for disinfection purposes. * This report shows our water quality results and what they mean.

If you want to learn more, please contact our office during 0 normal business hours (M-F 9am -4pm) Lake Panasoffkee Water Association routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and Stated laws, rules, and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period oI-< January 1 to December 31, 2004. In the table below, you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the' following definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close tdo the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health., MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. . Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. Picocurie per liter (pCi/L): Measure of the radioactivity in water. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/1): One part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (pg/I): One part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample. "ND" means not detected and indicates that the substance was not found by laboratory analysis.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. : As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, - radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. ' Contaminants that\may be present in source water include: (A)' Microbial contAminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural v livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stortmwater runoff, R industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or.farming. . \(C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses., (D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. (E) Radioactive contarpinants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public'water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which mus provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminant& does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and : potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection' Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426- 4791. . Thank you for allowing us t continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing'chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or , other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice , about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). ,* A We at Lake Panasoffkee Water Association would like you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment,> process and protect our watbr resources.

She has found a food source. No, you are not a bad person. You are feeding a cat in need. But one day, you hear the tiny cries of baby kittens. What will you do now? Keep on feeding the cat. Then the kittens grow up and you are feeding them. As the kittens grow up, some get pregnant. You are becoming overwhelmed with kittens.

And once again, another litter is born,.and once again, the babies, are destroyed. When will this terrible cycle end? When will people learn? If you feed a stray cat, that cat becomes your responsibili- ty. You can call Animal Control at 793-1470 or the Humane Society/SPCA at 793-9117' to borrow a humane trap. Once trapped, you can then bring the cat to a Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic, such as the Care's Center in Lake Panasoffkee or s Pet Luv in Brooksville. Once altered, the cat can be released"& back into your yard and. you> can continue feeding her. And - No kittens will be born only to; , be killed. The cost to spay and neuter a cat is very inexpensive. It cost less to have the 'stray visitor altered than to have to feed all of its off springs. This is the time of year when litters of unwanted kittens are born. And most of the kittens will be killed. Please spay and neuter the stray you are feed- ing .and stop this cycle of killing.

You'll find super technology in the making on display at Webster Elementary School. It's in the first-grade class of teacher Lynn Thomas, but the copyright for it now belongs to the Toshiba electronic company.. Thomas and four of her first graders stormed their competi- tion in the Regional challenge in the Toshiba ExploraVision Contest with an awesome cre- ation of their own. The team included Erin Tuten, Matthew Garrepy, Micah Lanham, and Dylan Brannen. These dedicated, high-tech inventors put in 60-plus hours of research after school to come up with an original, futuristic invention called the SMART DESK The students are still in the running for the national title. For the contest, .teams used futuristic technology to invent something that could benefit society. The team mailed off. their entry on Jan. 26, according to teacher Lynn Thomas. They were competing with thousands of teams throughout the United States -and Canada, but were notified on Feb. 28th that they are one of only six (K-3) division regional teams going forward in the competition. ' The team members learned how to use, their imaginations and technology to solve real world problems. They conduct- ed a school survey then identi- fied all the things they wanted to change about the student desk, Thomas notes. They got started by identifying the problem teachers and stu- lents surveyed agreed their stu- lent desks are uncomfortable, ugly, outdated and don't meet the technology needs' of today's student They came up with a solution - their SMART DESK. Each desk has a personal arti- ficial intelligence tutor called "COACH" who will stay with its student all through school. The SMART DESK uses virtual real- ity to teach for example, Abraham Lincoln or George Washington seem to come to life to teach kids about their time in history and their lives. Holograms serve as rewards and a hover board base allows kids to relocate with ease and with- out the scraping of current desks -1 something inventor Lanham says hurts his ears. SMART DESK has a flat. touch-screen computer built into the desktop and uses wire- less Internet with server access. It uses biometric security, air pressure, electronic paper, light signals,' retractable blinders, and dispensers for sharpened pencils and water. It has a paper-return tube system and components for physical, hear- ing, sight' and language impair- ments. The team researched their technology in the past, present, and future then submitted an 11- page report and five' mock web pages detailing the SMART DESK Winning the regional competi- tion also means that Toshiba now has the rights to the kids' creation. About the team The team has discussed their project through e-mail with Dr. H. Jeong who received a medal from the American Association of Physics Teachers for his work in holography and is the founder of Integraf. (holokits 1) Dr. TJ. Jeong, (known as TJ.) together with Dr. Hans Bjelkhagen discovered true- color holograms. TJ. also discov- ered cylindrical holograms - images people, could walk around. In 1973, he helped develop 3-D moving holograms. Dr. Jeong told us how to make simple holograms in our SMART DESK, notes Thomas. Dr. Jack Mostow wrote to the team in an e-mail- "What a cool idea your desk is! It reminds me of some of my favorite books when I was a Kid. The author was Louis Slobodkin." He went on to tell students that the part that reminds him of their desk comes in Slobodkin's later books. "He imagined a machine and wrote about what it would be like." Mostow's project 'LISTEN (Reading Tutor). is an actual computer program that helps children learn to read. Our team agrees with Ron Brachman. He said "You don't just put these technologies in a pot and stir and hope that it all adds up." He will rely on. research. "The challenge we have asked people to look at is how do we put all of these pieces together?" Brachman is leading the "Perceptive Assistant That Learns Program." "This is the kind of "putting the pieces together" research that will make our COACH a reality some day. "This SMART DESK incorpo- rates some of the leading tech- nology teachers are pursuing."

He has two dogs Buster and Kisses, and two cats Izzy and Cuddles. Matthew has absolutely loved elephants since he was about six months old and has a large collection of them. As he's gotten older his interests have grown. Now he collects Pokemon. His favorite color is blue, his favorite food is chicken nuggets and his favorite subject in school is the computer lab: He plays soccer and base- ball and loves.to create things. He has loved to draw since he was old enough to hold a pencil. By the time he was in kindergarten he was drawing colorful and detailed pictures. He also likes to make things from trash. He has taken an empty tissue box, toilet paper tubes, straw, rubber band and a piece of cardboard and turned it into an airplane. ExploraVision has given Matthew the opportunity to see that his creations can become reality. "I think ExploraVision has been a wonderful experience for the team. It brings out their creativity and enthusiasm for the world around them. They see how teams work together to solve problems, learn skills, communicate complex ideas, and meet goals. It helps them discover that their thoughts and drawings are important. ExploraVision allows chil- dren to use their best qualities to make real things from their imagination," said Matthew's dad and the team mentor Kevin Garrepy.', "I think ExploraVision has been a wonderful opportunity for Matthew. It has filled in some of the gaps that are left open by public education. It has allowed him to use his tal- ents, drawing and creating, in a fun and useful way. It has also taught him how to work as a team with a group of people. I think ExploraVision has been great for him. It has shown that his dreams can come true." Said Matthew's mom Christy Garrepy. Micah Micah is the son of Dan and Darlene Lanham. He has one sister named Erica and three brothers Adam, Matthew and Cody He has two minia- ture pinchers named Pepper and Angel and two aquari- ums with fish. Abounding with so much curiosity and energy makes it hard to visualize that he is a four-year cancer survivor who. won the battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma. When he grows up he wants to be a doctor. He loves to bounce on the trampoline, ride his go-cart, play baseball, soccer and spend time with his friend Dylan. Watching his brother Cody spend a lot of time drawing sparked his own interest in art. Thomas inspired him to: put his talent to work He entered the 2005 Florida State Fair writing and illus- trating contest and won third place in the state for his age category. His favorite subject is sci- ence. He loves to do experi- ments and around home he is always searching for odds and ends to build or create objects, which he pictures in his imagination. "The Toshiba ExploraVision competition has been the most challeng- ing and rewarding experi-, ence for Micah. It has been a true learning experience, " said Micah's mom.

Bronson says this year's first case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis has been reported in Union County and he is urging horse own- ers to have their animals vac- cinated against mosquito- borne illnesses. The three-year-old horse was seen by a local veterinar- ian who suspected Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE). On March 22, lab testing confirmed the diagnosis of EEE. The testing also revealed an exposure to the West Nile Virus (WNV), which may have complicated the horse's condition. "Horse owners have done a good job in getting their ani- mals properly vaccinated over the past few years and we have seen a significant drop in the number of equine WNV cases," Bronson said. "But it is critical that we don't become complacent Mosquito season is upon us and the chances of contract- ing these diseases have, of course, increased. Horse owners are remind- ed that their animals' vacci- nations must be up to date, including the necessary booster shots." In 2004, there were 48 reported cases of EEE in horses and six confirmed equine WNV cases. That compares with nearly 500 reported WNV cases in 2002. A vaccination against WNV became available in the summer of 2001 and EEE vaccinations have been around for years. Bronson is also urging Florida residents and visi- tors to take precautions against mosquito bites to reduce the chance of con- tracting mosquito-borne ill- nesses. People are urged to avoid being outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active and, if they must be outside at those times, to wear loose-fitting, long- sleeve shirts and pants. People are also urged to use mosquito repellent con- taining DEET. Residents should take steps to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on their property by removing stand- ing water from birdbaths, kiddie pools, old tires and other items where water can accumulate. police trying to locate two men A fight late last month in Webster had tragic results when a teenager was left par- alyzed after being thrown to the ground, according to Webster Police Chief Dennis Johnson. Ishmael McCook, 19, of Bushnell, was approached on the afternoon of March 25 by two other men for unknown reasons and a fight ensued, Johnson said. When police arrived on the scene, "he appeared to be paralyzed from the chest down," Johnson said. The fight happened on Northwest Fourth Street, and probably only lasted a very short time, he said. Johnson said police are: looking for two Sumter; County men in connection with the beating. McCook was transported to Orlando Regional Medicalr Center, where he remains in stable condition.

Peanuts are often thought of as high-fat foods, but party goers can feel a little better about reaching for the roasted nuts at holiday gatherings this season. Not only do peanuts contain the so-called "good" kind of fat, but University of Florida researchers have 'found they also are high in a wide variety of helpful antioxidants, rivaling the fruits often sought out by health-conscious consumers. "When it comes to antioxidant content, peanuts are right up there with strawberries." said Steve Talcott, an assistant pro- fessor of food science and human nutrition at UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. "We expected a fairly high antioxi- dant content in peanuts, but we were a bit shocked to find that they're as rich in antioxidants as many kinds of fruit." Talcott and other UF researchers tested the antioxi- dant content of a dozen different peanut varieties in a study pub-. lished recently in an issue ofthe. journal Food Chemistry dated May 2005. Antioxidants are chemicals that block the aging effects of free radicals unstable mole- cules naturally occurring in the human body that damage living cells. The damage caused by free radicals has been linked to heart disease, stroke, certain cancers and macular degenera- tion of the eye. The growing reputation of antioxidants has led an increas- ing number of people to include more fruits in their diets, partic- ularly those that are orange or red in color, because such foods have been found to be rich in the health-promoting chemicals. Vitamins A. C, and E are recog- nized! as antioxidants, and polyphenols a family of chemi- cals commonly found in foods - also have strong antioxidant properties. Peanuts are a good source of Vitamin E, but in the past they typically have not been considered an 'antioxidant-rich food, largely because of a lack of data on their polyphenol con- tent Now UF researchers have, found that peanuts contain high concentrations of polyphenols - chiefly a compound called p- coumaric acid. And they found that roasting can increase the' level of p-coumaric acid in peanuts, boosting their overall antioxidant content by as much as 22 percent "If you compare them, (peanuts) to other foods people think of as rich in antioxidants - mostly fruits and berries - peanuts come out somewhere in the middle," Talcott said. "They're no match for the foods at the top of the scale, such as pomegranate, but they do rival other foods that people eat just for their antioxidant content." Talcott said roasted peanuts are about as rich in antioxidants as blackberries or strawberries, and are far richer in the chemi- cals than fruits such as apples, carrots or beets. ' The findings add to the grow- ing reputation peanuts are get- ting for their healthy benefits. "We already know from previ- ous studies that including peanuts and peanut butter in a healthful diet can lower choles- terol, help people lose weight and prevent type 2 diabetes,"' said Kristen Ciuba, a nutrition- ist for the Peanut Institute, a nonprofit organization in Albany, Ga., funded by the' peanut industry. The UF researchers' findings were. part of a broader study designed to measure the nutri- tional differences between tra- ditional peanut breeds and the growing number of high oleic peanuts now available to peanut growers. , Oleic acid is a monounsaturat- ed fat, part of a family of chemi- cals sometimes referred to as "good" fat A diet rich in oleic acid is believed to lower choles- terol levels and reduce the chance of heart disease. In recent years, UF and a handful of other universities have bred new peanut varieties that have higher-than-average levels of oleic acid. High-oleic peanuts also have a far longer shelf life than other peanuts, largely because oleic acid doesn't oxidize as rapidly as other kinds of fat. Talcott and his fellow researchers thought that the peanuts' high antioxidant content might be responsible for that effect, but their tests showed no significant differ- ences in antioxidant content between high-oleic and tradi- tional peanuts. Agronomy professor Dan Gorbet, who heads UF's peanut- breeding program, said it should be possible to breed the nuts with high antioxidant levels in mind. "It's certainly worth look- ing into further," said Gorbet, a co-author of the study. "The big question is not whether it can be done the question is whether the demand is there. So far, peo- ple haven't been seeking out peanuts for their antioxidant content, but maybe in the future they will be." District to treat water hyacinth anid water lettuce The Southwest Florida Water Management District will be treating water hyacinth and water lettuce on the shoreline and canals of Lake Panasoffkee April 11 to 14.
