Controversial land-use change goes to state


MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County commission-
ers haggled with each other
and a property owner's engi-
neer Tuesday before finally
agreeing to send a controver-
sial housing development pro-
posal out for state review.
It was one of a handful of
proposed land use amend-
ments that the. commission
was considering for transmit-
tal to the Florida Department
of Community Affairs (DCA).
The board's action only
approves the transmittal of
the document with the actual
vote on the land use change


and related zoning coming
months later.
The subject tract is about 80
acres in the southwest corner
of County Road 416 and 479.
Currently it is agriculturally
zone d land with about half of
it wooded and the rest in
improved pasture.
The property owners, 2 Bud
Ranch, LLC, sought to change
the property to a residential
designation with a maximum
density of one dwelling per
acre.
But, after numerous objec-
tions to the proposed housing
density and considerable dis-
cussion, the owners were
agreeable to reducing the
density to one dwelling per


two acres.
The owner's representative,
engineer Barry Ginn, said that
traffic studies and environ-
mental assessments showed
there would be no adverse
impacts on the community.
A number of residents of
that area disagreed and Lake
Panasoffkee resident David
Starnes led off with the


protests against the proposal.
He expressed concerns
about changing the land use
and that impact in the future.
"History has shown that
despite flowery promises
these things don't always turn
out that way," Starnes said.
"We have seen the impacts
when we were told that there
would be none."


He said that there were
potential problems with the
Lake Panasoffkee public
water system having the
reserves for the added homes
and the impact of more septic
tanks on the area.
The board should not
,approve the project without
requiring the public water
and sewage infrastructure as
well an environmental study
done by someone working for
the board.
Wendell Martin Kovic, a res-
ident of CR 416, presented the
board with a petition signed
by 133 residents.

RALLYING FOR RELAY FOR LIFE

Staff Writer

"Everything went really
well," said event chairperson
Gidget Gibson of the fourth
annual Relay for Life.
The American Cancer
Society event is a massive
fundraiser for the organiza-
tion. Drawing teams of 10
people, with each team rais-
ing $1.000, team members
take turns walking the track
for the duration of the 18-
hour event. They set up
campsites for rest locations,
fellowship and fundraiser
ideas and just pretty much
have a blast.
"We ended up with a total
of 35 teams," Gibson said,
noting that the weather was
"beautiful not too cold.


"I think it was a very suc-
cessful event. I think the
committee did a wonderful
job of pulling everything
together to get things to
work," she said.
The Sumter County relay
was held at the Sumterville
campus of Lake Sumter
Community College last
Friday and Saturday. .
Along with her praise for
the event, Gibson raved
about the community. saying
that whether it was the team
members or the supporters,
ready with donations and
ready to give.
"It was just unreal."
"We're just really amazed
and excited over how well we
feel everythingwent."
On Monday, they were just
$2,000 away from their goal,
but money was still'coming


in, Gibson said.
Their goal for this year was
$60,500.
Gibson. said while she
couldn't give a specific count
on the number of people,
they had a great turnout.
She was certain there were
more than 100 survivors and
their families on hand, aside
from the teams and their
families and friends.
During the survivors'
reception dinner the Sumter
County Queen's Court 2005
entertained. Each of the
ladies sang a song and then
got together to perform as a
group.
The survivors took their
victory lap, posed for a group

the Sumter County Detention
Center with bond set at $500
each.


The arrests were made fol-
lowing an investigation by the
Bushnell Police Department
"We received complaints
from several parents that
alcoholic beverages were
being sold to minors at the
store," said Bushnell Police
Chief Joyce Wells. "We've
checked the store sporadical-
ly before the arrests were
made."

chief


resigns

AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

It's been over a month since
Center Hill Mayor Ralph
Barry suspended the city's
chief of police. Even though
city council members over-
turned the suspension less
than a week later, Chief Steve
Dixon resigned the following
day.
The city is now making
plans to replace Dixon, and
council members voted at
their April 5 meeting to
accept applications for his
successor until May 16. At the
meeting, Dixon gave his last
report to the city as chief.
Barry said that "a multi-
tude of problems" in the
department led up to the sus-
pension, which had been
coming up for about a year.

During the night, the agenda
included an agenda filled with
games, from "Name that Tune,"
fo a hula-hoop contest
"We had great participation
in all the games," she said.
' "Ashley Wheeler and Vicki
Ebert of Hot Topics came to do

donated their locks. Through

brother Ron.
The trio backlit the board and
place colored glass pebbles in
strategic spots-to spell Hope.
Gibson said the closer a person
gets to the board, the more col-
orful it becomes.
Crossroads Connection took
some top honors over the week-
end. They combined, efforts for
a patriotic and '50s tributes in
song. But they added to their
music, with a little drama.
Performing songs like, "Where
the Boys Are," and "My
Boyfriend's Back," they took the
crowd a little story, with their
music.
Crossroads also took the top
honor in the campsite competi-,
tion.

"We had four diners, a MASH

the night and the crowd did the
Electric Slide and the Hokey

the turns on the floor for the
Chicken Dance.
Their was even a limbo con-

earn their tokens.,
"We had people there from
the age of four to people in their
late 80's and I don't' care -what
age you looked at they all were
having fun," Gibson said.
Gibson also mentioned

She said he's a team of one who
gets other folks to sponsor him

He did a total of at least 36
miles, by himself, raising more
than $500.
Sumter County Clerk's office
employee Becky Howard raised
more than $2,000 by herself and
Sumter County Clerk of the
Courts Gloria Hayward raised
$1,800.
They were the star support-
ers, Gibson said.
The clerk's office team as a
whole raised $10,000, which is
an individual team total at the
local relay.
After the all-nighter, care-
givers were honored, with cer-
tificates and pins and the Lake
Panasoffkee VFW came out to
retire the colors and make the
final lap.
Things were wrapped up
around 10 a.m.
Gibson said she didn't get a
chance to speak to everyone,
but of the teams she spoke to 95
percent of them said they'd def-

"The county did not devi-
ate for me when I wanted
housing for my mother and
my nephew when there
would have been little
impact," Mizell said. "I don't
think the county should devi-

Ginn responded to com-
ments about the potential
traffic by stating that he did
not say there would be no
impacts, but that there would
be no adverse impacts. The
service level of the roads
would be maintained.
Commissioners agreed
somewhat with the criticism.

housing this is not the place
for it," Commissioner Randy

wouldn't argue with the traf-
fic study, driving those roads

But his focal complaint
seemed to be that with only
two other full-time officers,

who will work as other
policeman in addition to per-
forming administrative
es duties.
"It's a small department
and we rely on the chief to be
a working chief," he said.


show that there would be
problem.
Ginn had asked earlier that
commissioners tell him their
reasons if they were not in
favor.
"There is no way I could
explain why I would approve
it," Mask said.
Commissioner Richard
Hoffman noted that the
board had approved a densi-
ty of slightly more than five
homes per acre on a similar
sized property just a couple
of months ago. The particular
tract is on County Road 101,
just to the west of residential
areas of the Villages develop-
ment
, "I don't see how we can say
no to this approving that,"
Hoffman said.
Commissioner Jim Roberts
said it is simply a matter of
"location, location, location"
- inadequate roads, lack of
sufficient infrastructure,
urban sprawl, potential
impact on the aquifer flowing'
toward the lake, and overbur-
dening already crowded
schools.

"We don't have the budget for
a larger department."
He said he didn't want to
get involved with the way the
department was run, but he
felt it needed to be dealt
with.

get along with. It's just some-
thing that had to be taken
care of," he said. "It's not a
personal vendetta... it's not

ple think that."

Joey Chandler flatly asked
Ginn if the owners would
agree to a lighter density.
"I'm looking at the neigh-
boring property, this should
be one home per two acres or
one per three acres,"
Chandler said. "I hate to
loose a project, we need the
homes."
The board agreed to tem-
porarily table the issue and
consider some other land use
proposals to give time for
Ginn to consult with his
clients. When they resumed
the debate, Ginn proposed
the one house/two acre den-
sity.
But, that wasn't enough to
please Roberts. "I don't think
that changes my objections,"
he said, noting that there is
plenty of land for develop-
ment within the existing

Calling all Raiders then and now


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer.

Did you graduate from
South Sumter High School?
Still a Raider at heart?
Want an invite to the first
home game tailgate party for
the season,and a free Raider
wolf T-shirt?
Then getting your alumni
membership is a must. For
$25, Raider alumni get an
annual membership, which
entitles them to join other
Raiders for that first home
game and tailgate party and
the T-shirt.
And -not only will alumni
reap the benefits, the school
will finally get a new sound
system.
Teacher Karen Cloud came
with an.idea for a continued
improvement plan for the
school. She hopes to resell the
memberships every year, pro-
viding funds to enhance the
campus.
In her plea, she notes there
are hundreds of projects that
remain unfunded at the
school.
This year the focus is on the
sound system, according to
Cloud, who indicated how dif-
ficult it was to hear speakers
during last year's graduation


ceremony.
They're working to pur-
chase a $20,000 system in the
next three weeks.
Cloud said Principal
Preston Morgan has already
confirmed $10,000 in grant
money that can be used for
the first half of the system -
they just need the other half
to make it happen.
Looking to offer some extra
support and see your name in
gym lights?
There are options for
patron and contributors as
well.
. Raider Patrons are at the
$100-$249 level, while Bronze
contributors take the $250-
$499 level. Silver is $500 to
$999 and the Gold contribu-


tors are $1,000 or more.
Cloud said those contribu-
tors will be 'named on a
plaque that's placed in the
gym lobby.
Didn't graduate South
Sumter, but have relatives
that did or will? That's okay,
you're welcome to buy a mem-
bership too. The official name
of the organization is the
South Sumter High School
Alumni and Support
Association.
In future years, they hope to
purchase large television
monitors for use in the gym.
The screens would allow
parents and guests to see their
grad cross the stage during
the annual packed-house cer-
emonies.
To get your membership,
they ask for you name, alumni
year or to note if you're a sup-
porter, your shirt size small to
3X.
They also ask for a mailing
address, phone number, email
address.
Extra shirts can be ordered
for .the entire family at $10
each.
Members can pick up their
shirts between May 12 and
May 19.
For more information call
the school at 793-3131.


Free Raider T-shirts, an invite and pass to an annual home game tailgate party alumni and .
sponsors, South Sumter High has something for you and they need help! They've only got three
weeks to make it happen! South Sumter High School teacher Karen Cloud is promoting alumni,
memberships for former grads of South Sumter and friends or relatives'of grads who would
like to help support the school. The most current need is for a sound system in the school gym,-
which will allow everyone who attends graduation to hear student speeches. The system costs '
$20,000 and Preston Morgan has already passed along a grant for $10,000, but they still need to'
earn the other half to make it happen.


Veterans Services receives flag from Iraq


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

American troops overseas
lack a lot of things people tend
to take for granted. Soap,
toothbrushes, candy, shaving
cream, and music are all wel-
come sights to those far away
from home and often without
a way of buying the things for
themselves. '
Sumter County Veterans
Service Department has
addressed this need during
the past two years, sending
everyth i ng
from shaving
cream to
music CDs to Operatic
Afghanistan was creat
and Iraq.
In return, office to h
last week a station
w o: m a n Afghani
enlisted in
the U.S. Na\y Ir
sent them an
Iraqi flag
signed by
hundreds of troops stationed
There.
"They sent us this flag in
appreciation for what we've
done for them in Operation
Ziploc." -.said Dan Baker,:
- Veterans Services Office man-
ager.
Operation Ziploc was creat-
ed by his office to help those
stationed in Afghanistan and
Iraq.
In addition to the flag,
they've received over a dozen
thank you letters and two cer-
tificates of appreciation since
they've been sending pack-
ages.
Supplies are put in clear
plastic bags for security rea-
sons and are then placed in
boxes to mail.
Last Friday, they were sur-
prised, when the office
received a package of its own.
'The flag was embroidered
with the words "Thank you for
your support and prayers,"
and came with a letter and
certificate of appreciation.
The flag was signed by the
commanding. officers on
down," Baker said. "We want


to put it in a frame and display
it in the office. I'm really excit-
ed about it"
Others in his office were
glad to receive the flag, Baker
said, adding that they spend
their own time putting the
packages together on the
weekends.
"Everything was brighter
thanks to the wonderful let-
ters and packages you sent
us," read part of the letter they'
received with the flag.
Baker said besides receiv-
ing needed supplies, it's nice
just to, get
something
from home,
9n Ziploc and anything
from the U.S.
ted by his is from home.
telp those "I've been
ined in there. I know
Sn what it's like,"
stan and Baker said.
aq. "When I was
- in Vietnam,
we got care
packages and
letters from families and chil-,
dren. It makes you feel really
good.,
"We'll continue it until the
war ends," he said. "When the
War, on Terror ends and our
troops are back home in the
U.S., we'll stop."
The Veterans Service Office
is in need of more names and
addresses of troops overseas.
Packages sent to entire
units are not allowed, so they
must have names of individu-
als.
They often get one name
from a unit and that person
sends the names of others.
The office is also low on
donated items.
Accepted for care packages
are personal hygiene items for
men and women, books, music
CDs, prepaid phone cards,
beef jerky, and hard candy (no
chocolate).
Anyone who knows of
troops in need of supplies and
those interested in donating
should call the Sumter County
Veterans Service Office at.793-
0235.

Two sides to
Schiavo story
There are two sides in the starva-
tion death of Terri Schiavo.
The law in Florida needs to be
changed to include a consensus
from the whole family, not just what
the husband wants for his wife!
Another change should be that food
and water or a feeding tube should
not be considered "life support"
since all of us need nourishment in
order to live!
The other side is Pro-Life, believ-
ing that life is precious and should
be protected. Terri Schiavo's par-
ents, the Schindlers including her
grown brother and sister, and many,
many more people wanted Terri to
live and continue to be fed with a
feeding tube because they loved
Terri.
Terri Schiavo was not in a coma,.
she was not brain-dead, she was not
on "life-support machines," she
was NOT in a Persistent Vegetative
State (PVS), she was not terminally
ill. Th is was determined by special-
ists whoexamined her.
Judge George Greer should be.

Replenishing SS
and Medicare funds
When a product is imported into
the U.S. market, which said prod-
uct has been out sourced from the
U.S. initially, the imported product
should have added to its retail
price level structure an amount
equal to whatever, SS and
Medicare payments were lostwhen
the companies outsourced
American jobs to other countries.
These employees, either are now,
or will be in the future, recipients
of SS and Medicare assistance that,
without monies from their former
employment source will be endan-
gered due to the outsourcing of
theirjobs.
This is so simple, and may not
provide any support for lobbyist,
lawyers, politicians, and other
hanger-on's, that it probably will go
nowhere.

Getting hurr
It's been more than six months since
le last hurricane ravaged our state, yet
many as 140,000 Floridians still have
unsettled claims on severely damaged
oomes or worse some Floridians have,,
Iwo homes and are trying to start over.
Insurance companies have provided
4lfata showing about 93 percent of hurri-
cane claims have been settled. Although
.I'm pleased for the 93 percent who have,
'been taken care of, as Florida's Chief
: Financial Officer I'm focused on getting
'the remaining seven percent of the
;claims resolved before the next hurri-
,cane season starts on June 1st.
I've been holding town hall meetings in
i each of the areas affected by Jast year's
,storms, including Pensacola, Punta
.Gorda, Sebastian, Ft. Pierce and
Orlando. We've brought consumer serv-
ice teams along with insurance company
Representatives to.each of these meetings
so that frustrated policyholders could
speak with someone face-to-face. In the
five. meetings held so far, I have listened
to and talked with more than 2,500 home-
owners. In many cases, we have been
able to move these victims' claims for-
ward by helping homeowners cut
through months of corporate red tape in
a matter of hours.
While pleased by our progress, I know
more could be done. That's why I pro-'
posed an emergency rule to expedite the
resolution of open insurance claims. This
rule, approved by the governor and the
Cabinet, grew from much of the testimo-
!ny heard during my town hall meetings
and the more than 350,000 calls fielded
by our department Under the emergency
Srule, insurers must settle and pay all out-

standing claims resulting from last year's
storms by April 18, 2005, or provide .a
detailed and compelling explanation as,
to why they could not.
This rule will help bring closure to
storm victims and provide them with the
resources they need to rebuild their
lives. The timing of this rule will also
ensure that the residents who live, in the
areas hardest hit have ample time to use
insurance settlements to prepare their
property for the upcoming hurricane sea-
son.
In order to protect their lives and prop-
erty, and avoid some of the horror stories
I have witnessed, I am encouraging all,
Floridians to prepare for this year's
storms now. This includes reviewing your
insurance policies and verifying the up-
to-date value of your property; consider-
ing flood insurance if your area has been
known to flood or if you are vulnerable to
a hurricane storm surge; considering
"law and ordinance" coverage if your
house does not meet present building
codes; and reviewing the actual amount
of your hurricane deductible. Your insur-
er should be able to help you with these
matters. There is also a wealth of infor-
mation available on our department's
website at www.fldfs.com
.
While I continue our work to bring a
resolution to last year's hurricane sea-
son, I urge all Floridians to take advan-
tage of these final months of preparation
before hurricane season. The more time
spent planning and preparing now, the
greater the chances of avoiding the
heartbreak I have seen in the eyes of fel-
low Floridians.

S ome months ago, I had the
pleasure of having breakfast
with a reader' The issue was a
local one, and I did my best to prep
the reader with viable information,
hopefully assisting him with his
county problem. At one
point, this gentleman
asked me: "Dan, why
don't others care and
become active?"
Unfortunately, it was a
question that I could not -
answer; although I often .' -.
think about it
Actually, I do think that I.
others care. However, I
don't believe that they Dne
have a grasp of the situa- Danel
tion. In fact, let us take it Rohan
a step further: I don't
believe that the government or the
media throw the people a lifeline -
a lifeline of information that one
'would be able to grasp, and perhaps
understand; hence, giving them
some of the tools to become active.
n Social Security and Medicare: It
seems that few are buying into the
administration's plan of privatizing
Social Security, both older and
younger Americans. At this time, the
entire plan has been a miserable
failure, with one exception. And that
exception is that the administration
and the media have nearly discon-
tinued a dialog on the -issues of'
Medicare. Those with the knowl-
edge know that Medicare is the enti-
tlement program that is in a state of


exhaustion. However, if we maintain
a Social Security ruse, the coming
albatross known to us as the pre-
scription drug law will chew the
income of Social Security benefits
faster than Nathan's annual hot dog
eating contest
Let us keep talking about
the, problems of Social
Security. Yet, allow us to
ignore the 2006 Medicare,
Part B premium that will
increase by at least 15 per-
cent Recently, the proposed
increase shot up some 2 per-
S. cent in just two days. These
r-:" excessive double-digit, Part B
premium increases are just
beginning it will be 35 per-
cent in just two years.
And if you worked hard
and were blessed, wait until 2007,
when these premiums will increase
an additional 100 to 300 percent
based upon your income..
Who cared that the EEOC was
going to allow age discrimination-
with your health benefits? I did,
AARP did, U.S. District Court Judge
Anita Brody did. However, not a

cable stations.
'0 The Federal Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) what's up
here? Are these people taking some
of the drugs that they are supposed
to oversee? Two weeks ago, Bextra

ever happened to this agency? Is
there anyone at the helm?

Stringent controls set for adult


'MARTIN STEELE
Times Correspondent

Sumter County Commis-
sioners on Tuesday finished
their work on land .use regu-
lations to provide some strin-
gent control over sexually
oriented businesses.
The board finally voted for
approval of the new rules fol-
lowing the last in a series of
meetings, workshops and
public hearings on the ordi-
nance to restrict businesses
catering to sexually explicit
videos, books, toys, novelties
and some forms of sexually-
themed performances.
In simple terms, the ordi-
nance establishes strict loca-
tion criteria for the business-
es, even totally banning some
forms of adult businesses
such as video arcade booths.
'The location rules restrict
the "adult" businesses to
industrially zoned property.
The rules also establish what


have been described as some
of the toughest separation
requirements for the busi-
ness's proximity to churches,
schools, playgrounds, lib-
raries and residential areas.
While recent commission
discussions about the busi-
nesses have generally
focused on the technical
aspects, this final hearing
drew numerous comments
from Sumter communities.
Sumter County Sheriff's
Cpt. Garry Brannen
answered commission ques-
tions about arrests that had
come about since one of the
adult businesses opened last
summer near Wildwood.
After hearing complaints
about the business, the sher-
iff's department sent under-
cover officers into the store
to investigate, Brannen said.
"A very handsome deputy
was solicited within seven
minutes of entering."
Investigations resulted in
two cases for solicitation of a


lewd act and two case of bat-
tery, Brannen said. In one of
the latter cases, an officer
was "groped" prior to being
solicited, physical contact
before there was even a sin-
gle comment.
' County Land Use Attorney
Terry Neal asked that
Brannen clarify that none of'
the arrests he described
were cases involving sale of
actual materials.
Until the store in question.
opened, such arrests were
almost non-existent accord-
ing to Brannen.
On occasion, there were
arrests for solicitation in the
truck stop areas, but it had
been two to three years since
any of those cases, he said.
The commission room was
packed with supporters of
the ordinance and several
addressed the board.
Ed Button, pastor of the
Gant Lake Baptist Church,
expressed the apparent sen-
timents of most that group.


"We are doing our best to
raise our young people with
high. morals," Button said,
noting that the county should
guard against those who are
trying to "introduce negative
things to our young people."
The commission's action
will "hopefully help keep us
20 to 30 years behind other
counties," he said.
People choose this county
because it is not here.
Pleasant Hill Baptist
Church Pastor .Mike King
told the board that the addic-
tion to pornography is second
only to food.
He referred to the serial
killer Ted Bundy's blaming
pornography for the begin-
ning of his life of violent
crime and to the recent mur-
der of Citrus County child by
a convicted sexual offender.
"People cannot believe the
strings that are attached to
this," King said.

Federal Consumer Protection has confirmed the fuel saving described in this advertisement.

Device may increase gas mileage by 22%


Boston National Fuelsaver
Corp. has developed a low
cost automotive accessory
called the Platinum Gas
Saver which is guaranteed
to increase gas mileage by
22% while meeting all
emission standards.
With a simple connection
to a vacuum line, the Gas
Saver adds microscopic
amounts of platinum to the
air and fuel entering the
engine.
Since platinum allows
non-burning fuel to burn,
the Gas Saver's platinum
increases the percentage
of fuel burning inside the
engine from 68% of each
gallon to 90% of each'
gallon, a 22% increase.
Since unburnt fuel leaving


an engine is pollution, this
22% of each gallon
normally burns when it
reaches the platinum of
the catalytic converter.
However, the converter's
platinum burns this fuel in
the tail-pipe, where the heat
and energy produced from
this fuel cannot be harnessed
to drive your vehicle.
But when the Gas Saver
allows the air-fuel mixture
to carry the platinum into
the engine, 22% more of
each gallon bums inside
the engine so that 22%
fewer gallons are required
to drive the- same distance.
After a five year study,
the government concluded:
"Independent testing shows
greater fuel savings with the


Gas Saver than the 22%
claimed by the developer."
In addition to the fuel
savings, the Gas Saver has
received patents for cleaning
out carbon and raising
octane, making higher grades.
of fuel unnecessary for'
most vehicles. i
Joe Robinson, the developer,
was quite surprised at thda
market research: "We hav,
sold a half million Gasi
Savers. To our surprise, asL
many people buy the Gas
Saver because it extends
engine life by cleaning,
out the abrasive carbon as-,
buy it to increase gas
mileage or to raise octane.'~

A m I the only person in
North America who
hasn't read Rick
Warren's "The Purpose-
Driven Life?"
Just asking.
Actually, I discovered my
purpose in life
about 20 years ago:
I was created to
drive girls.
However, now that
my two girls are
grown and gone
and driving them-
selves, I may need
to find a new pur-
pose.
A few weeks ago, .
the mother of my
daughter's child- NA!
hood best. friend, KEN
called to thank me
for what I had done
for her daughter.
At first I thought she meant
how I had read something I
had written at Kelly's funeral,
but I realize now that she had
meant something else, which
brings me back to my driving-
purposed life.
Basically, it was simple.
Years before I had prayed
that God would give me a
grand purpose in life, and he
answered by giving me two
daughters and a set of car
keys.,
"Drive," he said.,
So, drive I did. To the mall


IN


and to volleyball practice. To
softball games and the mall.
To the mall and youth group
at church. To the beach. To
Taco Bell. To school. To the
mall.
It was either I drive or risk
having them find
rides with some-
S one's sister's
boyfriend appro-
priately named
"Crash." As long as
they and their myr-
iad of close, per-
sonal friends were,
in the back seat of
my car with me at
i the wheel, I would
know where they
ICY were.
EDY I became known
among the other
moms as
Transportation Central and
Taxi Queen. I also loved
every minute of it. It actually
proved to be quite education-
al I learned that I could be
invisible. ,
The girls would all pile into
my car and start talking about
stuff girls talk about, which
means boys and other girls.
As if I wasn't even in the car
hence the invisibility fac-
tor they would start dish-
ing the 'dirt.
You can learn a lot by being
invisible and as I listened
to their conversations, you

can bet I prayed as I drove!
During the years of my driv-
ing girls, my car was used as a
cafeteria, a beauty parlor and
a dressing room. A last-
minute study hall, a laundry
hamper and a place to take a
nap.
It was also at times a con-
fessional and a sanctuary
Something amazing hap-
pened when my little red
Tempo with its 189,000 miles
on it filled with girls. God
entered.
Sometimes I wonder if
those girls in the back seat
ever realized his presence. I
think maybe they did,
because every once in a
while, over the din of their
chatter mixed with Pearl Jam
in the tape player, one of
them would ask, "Mrs.
Kennedy, why do you have an
'Enjoying God' bumper stick-
,er on your car?" or "How do
you know which church
teaches the right things?" or.
"Why do you think Ouija
boards are so bad?"
We discussed Buddhism
and paganism, levitating and
bulimia, sex, lies and Marilyn
Manson. Sometimes I was
able to pray out loud for
them. Sometimes they even
asked me about my life.
It was all so very natural,
yet not. It was mundane and
ordinary, yet incredibly holy

533 I


At one time I had wanted to
be somebody important, to do
great and grand things. I
ended up driving girls. It was-
n't what I had envisioned, but
for a good portion of my life it
was what I had been created
to do.
Years ago, someone asked
me what I wanted written on
my tombstone and I flippant-
ly said, "She drove girls."
But after talking to Kelly's
mom and remembering that
Kelly was one of the girls I not,
only drove places, but lis-
tened to, prayed for and loved
and that God had used me to
share Christ with Kelly and
that she died loving Jesus I
know now that for all those
years behind the wheel of my
car I had no greater purpose.
Driving girls all over cen-
tral Florida wasn't lofty, but it
was heavenly It wasn't what I
would've chosen, but it
turned out to be what I will
always cherish.

power of victims and their
families. The 21-year veteran
law enforcement officer relat-
ed a case in which a 33-year-
old victim had kept her secret
for 15 years. After divulging
the rape other victims came
forth. At court the various vic-
tims' families joined hands
and confronted the perpetra-
tor and a plea was struck that
day.
"The power of victims and
their families is great. They
can make a criminal realize
that what he did was wrong,
even if he refuses to admit to it
under interrogation."
The main focus of the past
school resource officer was to
help the community to become
more aware of boys and men's
attitudes to "consensual sex."
"If you don't know if your
partner wants to go that far,
ask We need to teach our boys
that asking before sex is. the
manly thing to do." She relat-
ed that often boys don't realize
the effect of assuming that a
girl is willing. Education is the
key to changing the attitudes
and stopping the awful hurt


that can ruin a life or several
lives Mathews said.
Two survivors spoke of the
consequences of childhood
sexual assault. They both
reported the life altering.
effect of a family torn by.
incest. Both ladies spoke
about the need for services
and how they felt that without
counseling their lives might,
have ended. In very different
ways each related how they
had come to find the services'
of Haven, and how those serv-
ices had made a difference in
their lives.
Executive Director Ruth
Harvey Gilligan introduced
Sumter County Sheriff Bill
Farmer and both traced the
history of the work done by,
Haven since its inception in
1977. The caring counselors,
personal advocacy, and legal'
advocacy were all cited as
services needed by victims in
Sumter and Lake Counties.
Sheriff Bill Farmer
applauded the services ren-'
dered by Haven of Lake and
Sumter Counties, Inc. and'
remembered that little help'
was available before this sex-
ual assault center was avail-
able. Now men, women, and,
children can get the help they-
need from trained profession-"-
al counselors. He dedicated is
musical tribute to the "Angels
of Haven, Ruth Harvey.
' Gilligan and her staff."
Aldene Thomas, senior sex-
ual assault counselor gave an
impassioned plea that' each
person in the audience make,
a commitment to take one-
opportunity to make the lives
of victims better.
She asks that everyone
would call Haven in order tp
learn how he or she could.
help victims become sue-
vivors.

grant application .
^--yA J .-'.*" 's^^Hs^^^K ^'^^^^9 *'^^ ^^ -^^B ^' : .... ..,' '.


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Center .Hill city officials
and residents discussed the
'city's application for a grant
that would provide for the
extension of water lines to
two properties, the site of the
proposed Florida Grande
:Motorcoach Resort and
Central Packing.
The park would be located
off of County Road 478
between Center Hill and
.Webster and would span 255
acres, just beyond more than
1,100 acres recently annexed
into the city. The developer,
ARoute 470 Holdings, Inc. of
-Zephyrhills, proposes two
units per acre and recently
applied for annexation into
'the city.
', The goal of the application
is to get a $600,000 economic
development grant for the
city, and in return, the busi-
.nesses involved would have
"to bring a specific number of
"jobs into the area.
:. While the grant money
,,would benefit the businesses
,and potentially the city, con-
4erns about accepting the
.grant were brought to the
:surface at a public hearing
during the April 5 city coun-
cil meeting.
se "We can see five (new) jobs,
probably eight. We cannot
guarantee any more than
lqhat," said Dick Green of
XCentral Packing. "We could
tUse the city water We need it
:for fire protection and in the
-plant. But Green said there
would come "a day of reckon-
ing," and didn't want to be
%held responsible for more
jobs than what they would
create. "I'm not going to do,
that," he said.
t Some council members
44lso expressed concern over
who would be responsible it,
Once the grant was used, the
businesses did not meet their
end of the deal.
Andy Easton, grant writer
for the project, said the city
would need to create an
.agreement with the business-
es, otherwise the city could


be liable for $35,000 for every
job less than what had been
arranged. An agreement
would make the business.
owner responsible for repay-
ing the grant money if neces-
sary.
In addition to the possible
eight positions at Central
Packing, the RV resort would
bring in 18 jobs, Easton said.
Easton said the jobs created
would be "a great economic
benefit to the city."
Apart from liability, anoth-
er concern was brought up by
farmer Ron Slay, who lives
just outside Center Hill city,
limits.
He supported using the
grant to benefit Central
Packing, but not the RV park,
saying that the packing plant
is an established, "viable
business," but asked why the
developer couldn't pay for
the park's water lines.
Easton said both businesses
would be needed to get the
full $600,000.
After the meeting, Slay
said he feels the park will put
an undue burden on city
streets, and development
will "ruin the rural charac-
ter" of the city. "I want to
farm. I don't want to make it
like Fort Knox," he said. 'All
of my neighbors feel the
same way.",
No official decisions about
the grant were made at the
meeting.
The city has also held a
workshop'recently to discuss
the future of over 400 acres of
the newly annexed property.
City Clerk Diane Lamb said
the city -council told Bay
Pointe Homes they would
consider allowing the con-
struction of between two and
three homes per acre.. Lamb
said the developer also men-
tioned a school and EMS sta-
tion in the city, but no official
action has been taken.
A cement company inter-
ested in building there has
also approached the city, and
council members are sched-
uled to take a tour of the com-
pany's plant in Suwannee
County on Saturday, April 16.

Dobson ball scholarship comes from generations of ball


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

South Sumter High School's
Smithie "Kay-Kay" Dobson
signed to play softball with
Lake Sumter Community
College last week.
Dobson, of Webster, has a'
.395 batting average, with 15
hits, 19 RBI and 38 at bats for
'the 2005 season.
S The daughter of Bruce and


Sheila Dobson, the 18-year-
old has been a starter on the
Raiders varsity team for the
past three years.
Head Coach Jeff Renihan
said, "We're just really really
pleased that she's taken the
next step and going to col-,
lege."
"We're just very pleased
that she's going to move on
and represent the program."
"She's a great player and
missed only one game in three


years."
That was for an injury and
Renihan said he had to
"Basically wrestle her out of
the line-up," on that game.
"She's a great kid with a big
heart and I think she'll do well
at the next level."
Coach Nicey Cilenti said,
''As far as softball is con-
cerned, she's a 'very strong
player. She's a good leader
and she takes charge.
"She has a really good atti-


tude a winning attitude.".
That includes working to
keep the other girls on the
team up.
"She's been a starter on the
varsity for three years and for
all three years she's shown
that she's a leader,"
Cilenti said she doesn't see
Dobson around campus out-
side of sports, but knows she's
very involved and always
aware of the other people on
her team. She's considerate of
them and concerned with
helping them.
"She's an all around good
girl," Cilenti said.
Dobson comes by her soft-
ball abilities naturally it's
something that's been a part
of her family for at least three
generations now.
Her grandparents, Harold


and Pat Dobson, worked with
Sumter Dixie Youth League
for years.
"My mom and dad ran it,"
said Dobson's dad Bruce.
When his mom died, his dad
passed the torch on to him. As
a matter of fact, he was on the
phone coordinating this year's
league while he was sharing
his thoughts on his daughter
and his parents.
He takes tremendous pride
that she's earned a scholar-
ship in the sport her family
has been so involved in.
"We're tickled to death -
proud of her," he said.
Kay-Kay played all four
years on Dixie Youth, but that
was baseball. ,She had to play
softball when she played for
school.
Dobson said he's tried to


role model for her, teaching
her the game.
He said they took her to a
college tryout, where they
spent three hours and toured
the campus.
When they were done, the
coach sat Kay-Kay down and
told her what they could offer
her.
She took a little time and
opted to go with Lake Sumter.
Dobson earned a spot on the
2004 All Area Team, the Ocala
Lightening Baseball Team -
2004, is a silver medal winner,
lettered in volleyball,
weightlifting, basketball and
softball.
Kay-Kay plans to go into
physical education and sports
medicine and hopes to coach
ball.

Jeff Renihan, Inman Sherman and Lake Sumter Community College Coach Jennifer Russell.

RBIES CLINIC"


In accordance with Florida state law, dogs and cats must be vaccinated for rabies by a licensed
veterinarian. These pups showed up in style for their shots.


Photos by Brenda Locklear
Crash dummies were unbelted inside this simulator car to show students in Sumter County's
Teen Court exactly what happens during a vehicle rollover. Some of the students on hand for
the lesson were (left to right) Caylan Chancellor, Megan and Meredith Hayward, Jonathon
Aguirre and Robert Tame.



Teen Court offers


a lesson in seatbelts


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

There's more to Teen Court
than determining the fate of
your peers.
Last Tuesday, teens from
Sumter County met up with
coordinator Erin Munz, out-
side the courtroom.
That's where Florida State.
Trooper E.B. Edwards gave
the kids...a. lesson that sent
some'of them home with a lit-
tle different perspective to
think about in the car, on the
way home.
Edwards set up in front of
the Sumter County
Courthouse, using a specially
designed car chassis attached
to a generator. He flipped a
switch and.the chassis began
a slow-speed rollover with
four crash dummies belted
inside.
While the loose objects
became missiles,, the dum-
mies remained in place.
Edwards explained to teens
that it's impossible to control
your body and keep it in place
in a crash.
On the second run, the two
passenger-side dummies were
unbelted, and both were
tossed around the car and
even tossed out the car win-
dow. Again the rollover was at
a very slow speed. '
Munz said when they


returned to the courtroom,
kids shared that they didn't
realize how they could be
thrown from the car.
She said they were also talk-
ing about all the items lying
around the inside of their
vehicles.
Edwards shared some sta-
tistical information with the


Florida State Trooper
E.B. Edwards gave the
kids a lesson that sent
some of them home
with a little different
perspective to think
about in the car, on the
way home.



teens, as well as some law
facts.
The seatbelt itself, if not
properly secured, can act as a
razor blade and sever an arm,
he said.
He said he's investigated
various cases, including one
in which the car was traveling
only five miles per hour and
the woman lost her life.
In a case where a driver or
passenger is not belted in, it's
like being involved in three


car crashes, Edwards said.
The first is the actual crash
itself; the second is the crash
the body experiences with
everything loose in the car.
"Everything in that car trav-
els at the speed," he said of
the speed the car was moving
when the crash occurs.
He explained that the body
also travels to the point of
impact at the same rate of
speed the car was moving.
The third crash is the
killer, he said. That occurs
when the car stops. The
inside oftthe body is also mov-
ing at that rate and it's the
last thing to stop.
Edwards said the internal
organs weren't made to move"
at that rate and then be
slammed to a stop.
Citing seatbelt use, he said
71 percent of people in crash-
es, wearing seatbelts survive
without a trip to the hospital.
Edwards also talked about
kids about the legal ramifica-
tions of not belting up and not
insuring that others are belt-
ed.
He talked about habitual
offenders and driver's actual-
ly losing their driver's license
permanently.
For example, he said if an
infant dies in a crash and
investigators learn the child
wasn't secured correctly, they
could bring manslaughter
charges against the driver.

The Animal Care Center of Wildwood held its yearly rabies clinic April 2. A huge turnout of pet
owners came to take advantage of low cost vaccinations. Proceeds benefited the Humane
Society/SPCA of Sumter County.


Last Tuesday, members of Sumter County's Teen Court learned the importance of wearing seat-
belts, even when a vehicle is moving at a slow rate of speed. They got a short, compact lesson
from Florida Highway Patrol Officer R.B. Edwards. That lesson included seeing the results of a
vehicle rollover, through unbelted crash dummies.



Developments equal big



money for city systems


People and pooches turned out for the rabies clinic in Wildwood.


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

City Manager Jim Stevens
said Wildwood is lucky to
have three large develop-
ments coming into the city.
This is because of the rev-
enue the city will gain for
water and wastewater con-
nection and Transmission
Infrastructure Extension
(TIE) fees, the fees develop-
ers will for extending servic-
es from the city's systems.
Because of the develop-
ments, the city is looking at
gaining $2.6 million up front


in fees and $1.3 million later
either upon receipt of build-
ing permits or at occupancy.
At the April 11, city com-
mission meeting, commis-
sioners reviewed developer's
agreements from Amprop,
Inc., Lake Andrew Preserve,
and Lake Villas.
In TIE fees alone, the
developers will pay a com-
bined $1.2 million up front if
the commission approves the
agreements.
"With those three big
developments, we're going to
have the revenue to put those
big lines in.


We're extremely fortu-
nate," Stevens said.
"We've got to fund future
expansions early on. The
hard part is getting the
money to do the initial con-
struction."
He also said the water
would need to be available in
the next six months.
"These people have the
money. They're ready to cut
the checks," he said.
The commission will hold a
workshop at 6 p.m. on
Monday, April 18 at
Wildwood City Hall to dis-
cuss the agreements with
developers.
