BOB REICHMAN Editor One year after his appre- hension, Robert Lee Jackson Jr. is scheduled to go to trial this week, charged with the 2002 deaths of a doctor and a firefighter who were aiding victims of a highway accident. Jury selection began at the Sumter County Judicial Center in Bushnell on Monday morning in the case against Jackson, charged with two counts of manslaughter by cul- pable negligence and five counts of injury caused by cul- pable negligence. Jackson, 38, was apprehend- ed in Georgia last May and charged with the death of Winter Park obstetrician Dr. N. Donald Diebel Jr., 35, and Oviedo firefighter Shane Kelly, 26, and injuring four others, according to police reports. Diebel and Kelly died when they attempted to help free a trapped motorist and his wife from an overturned vehicle involved in a June 8, 2002, accident north of the Wildwood interchange on the Florida turnpike. As Diebel, Kelly and four other motorists attempted to free the couple, Jackson's 1985 Peterbilt tractor-trailer truck veered into the median to avoid hitting stopped traffic and hit the overturned vehi- cle, according to reports. Diebel and Kelly were struck during the collision and were pronounced dead at the scene. Other assistants were trans- ported to hospitals for treat- ment. Following the crash, anoth- er man had been charged with the deaths but he was freed when Jackson confessed to being the driver of the truck, according to police records. Jackson was apprehended by sheriff's deputies in KIDS AND CLJFCAK LU Kiids off. to work in Sumter BREND fL OCK.LEAR *.,r - Staff WriterIV i What's the biggest day of the year for absentees at Sumter County Schools?

Lowdnes County, Ga., on May 6 at a truck wash, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. He was picked up on an outstanding warrant issued by the Florida Highway Patrol in April 2004. Jackson has maintained that he lost control of the vehi- cle and could not stop in time. But law enforcement inves- tigators have said that the truck Jackson was driving was in poor condition and con- tributed to the collision. Youngster found, man charged with kidnapping BoB REICHMAN Editor A Wildwood man was arrested for kidnapping on Monday after taking a three- year-old boy from his home and not returning him until law enforcement officers found him 17 hours later. Lee White, 39, was also arrested for vehicle grand theft and driving while license suspended. White was placed in the Sumter County Detention Center with bond set at $37,000. White took the child from the home of a Wildwood woman about 7 p.m. Sunday when he visited the resi- dence while the boy's moth- er was asleep, according to Wildwood Police Capt. Eddie Reeser. He took the keys to her Ford Explorer and took the youngster saying he was going to the store. White is an acquaintance of the family and is consid- ered a "father .figure," Reeser said. The mother, however, had a restraining order filed against White but she did allow him to visit Law enforcement officers were not notified until the following morning that the child was missing, Reeser said. About 1:25 a.m., a sheriff's deputy ran a license tag check on, a vehicle that matched the description of the missing Explorer, Reeser said. The vehicle was seen near an abandoned house in Bushnell. Officers were not able to locate the vehicle after the tag check Finally, about noon on Monday, White and the boy were found at a home out- side Wildwood, according to Reeser. The youngster had not been harmed, however, he had not been properly fed during the time he was miss- ing nor was he given medica- tion he requires for asthma. White told authorities that he had spent the time "look- ing for people to play cards with and just riding around." ;4h I I PAGE 2, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2005 Photos by Amanda Mims The Sumter SWAT unit stands outside the Adamsville home during a search for methampheta- mines that lead to five .arrests.

All of the students and their teachers gathered closely around the newly planted tree and sang several songs as well including "God Bless America" and "This Land is Your Land." Born of an idea from Mrs. Hustig's and Mrs. LaViolette's classes the plan blossomed into an experience for all of the fourth grade classes. Mrs. LaViolette's class first put up a construction paper tree on the outside wall of the classroom where the artistic magnolia tree had poems called cinquains written by students commemorating either trees or Mr. White. One student wrote, "Mr. White, nice; caring, played, gave, taught. The best person ever. Principal." Gloria Croft, principal of the school said, "It was a beautiful memorial service. They shared their appreciation and love for Mr. White whom they loved dearly" magnolia tree planted in memory of Principal program It's kitten season!

The drowning happened early Friday afternoon, according to sheriff's Lt. Bobby Caruthers. The body of Kourtney Lynn Fowler was found in the pool behind her home on S.E. 43rd Street. The girl's father, Wayne Fowler, was home at the time of the drowning, Caruthers said. "He worked all night and came home and went to sleep I expecting a babysitter to come to the home shortly," Caruthers said. The sitter, however, told Wayne's wife, Lisa, that she would be late, Caruthers said. Mrs. Fowler was not home at the time of the accident. "(Mr. Fowler) didn't know the babysitter was going to be late and both of the couple's children were asleep when he feel asleep," he said. When the sitter arrived, she saw Kourtney's younger sister walking outdoors, Caruthers said. The sitter woke up Fowler and they began searching for Kourtney. They discovered the girl's body in the pool and were unsuccessful in their attempts to revive her by per- forming cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, according to Caruthers.

PAGE 4, SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2005 lb m SUMMER COUNTY THE VOICE OF SUMTER COUNTY SINCE 1881 The editorial opinion expressed in the Sumter County Times is the opinion of the news staff of this newspaper Editor...................... Bob Reichman Publisher .................. Gerry Mulligan General Manager/Sales Manager... Alan Place 204 E. McCollumAve. Bushnell,FL 33513 Member Florida Press Association Our VOICE Residents should watch new mining application "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" here is a request currently before the county to expand Florida Crushed Stone's lime rock mining operation near Center Hill. Residents through- out the county should " watch this request care- fully. i The proposal is to expand the existing lime rock mine on about 395 acres just west of the . Center Hill city limits. The company is asking for a conditional* use permit from the county that would allow the mining B expansion. While information R. i about the expansion is filed with the county development department, on the third floor of the County Courthouse in Bushnell, the information is voluminous and extremely technical. It is not an easy read nor is it easy to under- stand. In the next several weeks, county' boards will be weeding through the information to determine if Florida Crushed Stone should be granted the permit. While a county review committee is in the process of sifting through the information, the first important meeting about the application is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 16, before the county Zoning and Adjustment Board. The board meets on the third floor of the court- house in Room 327. Board members will discuss the proposal at that time and then make a recommendation that will be con- sidered by the County Commission Re: Response to recent criticism over AARP's opposition to private accounts for Social Security: . There has. been a lot of discussion recently on the hard realities of the Social Security issue. Some have criti- cized AARP and others who oppose pri- vate accounts, and have even gone as far as to say that we ignoQre the facts of Social Security. I would like to address the issue at hand and make clear the "hard" facts behind AARP's opposition to pri- vate accounts being taken out of Social Security. The first critical fact is one that even the most vocal proponents of private accounts, including the president, admit:, private accounts don't address Social Security's long-term solvency problems. The simple fqct is, ifyou take money that currently funds Social Security and put it in something else (like private accounts), you end up with less money in Social Security. This is a "solution" that would actually make the problem worse. Some have alleged that the current, system is hampered by wasteful govern- ment management. The facts belie this assertion: Social Security operates on a 1 percent administrative cost There may be plenty of waste in government, but it's not in Social Security. The point has been made that soon (if 2017 is soon). Social Security will pay out more in benefits than it takes in through payroll contributions, However, do not forget that since 1983 Social Security has built up reserves that will cover this shortfall until. (by conservative esti- C to -H the following week The County Commission is sched- uled to hear the proposal and the board's recommendation at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24, in County Commission Chambers on the second floor of the courthouse. We suggest that con- cerned residents attend 4- the May 16- meeting. It should be a time when .4A I company representatives "" will explain their reason for their proposed expan- sion and answer ques- g iions for members of the oMAN Zoning and Adjustment -A. Board. You'll probably have a better understand- ing of the project from that meeting then you will from trying to review the plethora of paperwork filed on the project. At that meeting, board members should also be addressing concerns that are associated with mining operations., Some of those issues are likely to involve the impact that the new mines would have on water levels and the aquifer and the impact that blasting would have on the area. This application involves a sub- stantial amount of land located very .close to Center Hill. While letters from the county have been sent to" landowners who have property adjacent to the proposed expansion informing them to the request, the impact from this proposed expan- sion could be extensive and more than the handful of residents who will .be receiving letters should be. aware of it. mates) 2041, after which Social Security, if left untouched, would still pay out- roughly 70 percent of promised benefits. AARP believes this situation ought to be ,addressed now before it becomes more difficult to fix. That is a far cry from the argument presented by some that the system is going broke. The argument has been made that the Social Security reserves are worthless. They claim that the trust fund has been. spent as soon as it is collected. I would like to point out that the trust fund con- tains U.S. Treasury bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government We as a nation are obligated to pay back these loans and will do so. If they are suggesting that the United- States government should renege on those promises, they should either explain to the, nations of China and Japan (who hold. far more U.S. treasury bonds) why they should continue to invest in the U.S. (which keeps domestic interest rates lower) or else explain to the American people why they feel it is. ,,acceptable for the federal governmentto renege on a promise made to its own cit- izens but not to foreign governments. The hard reality is that private accounts that are taken from Social Security will only add to the system's long-term solvency problems by racking, up enormous .hew debt and/or guaran- teeing substantial benefit cuts in the future. JeffJohnson AARP Florida Advocacy Manager More support for Wildwood Library The Friends just pledged $5,500 to the Wildwood Library. Corporate sponsors made this pos- sible. The new library now has more space for books, videos, magazines for adults and young people. The children's section .is being updated and purged of materials that are outdated (some from Eisenhower's Administration). Our children are using these materials to study and it is the focus this year to provide current reference materials for them. Just in 2005 the library has pur- chased and the Friends paid for $1,718 in books. Much more is needed. Wildwood now has a librarian with a children's master degree to aid in the selection. The library is obtaining books on. the children's comprehensive reading list (books used for testing reading compre- hension). The Friends want to make these children's'materials available and your contribution makes this pos- sible. At the beginning of the year the Friends of the Library pledged money to the library. The library provided the bills/invoices to us to .be paid froni the pledge. Pledged in 2005: $5,500 Spent through March 2005: $1,718., Book .sale earning, 2005 - Earned average 3 months $522 (This is less through spring and summer). The need for more children's materials, is definite, but also heeded is computer software for the adult and children's comput- ers. The county does not provide software. The city has budgeted an impressive amount for salaries and building expenses, but only $600 for publications, etc. The county is controlled by state funding and cuts are common. The larger counties are screaming for part of our funds since they have larger populations. We are growing and face losing our rural funding very soon, the price of growth. So you can see your contributions are so very important! Please support your library and your community. Used book donations for the sale room. help our volunteers earn money to help the library and we need your used books, too.

Po Grrsie tetnE Progressive testimonies When my daughter was younger, she announced, "I got gypped out of a testimony." She explained, "At camp, the speakers always talk about their wild .s.is lives, but then they accepted Jesus and now they're living for God and things are cool." She thought her story would be bor- ing. "What will I say?" she asked. "That I've been to church every Sunday since I was NA two weeks old? That KEN I've been a Christian -. since age 3?" I said that was a good testi- mony, but I don't think she bought it Her life shifted after that, going from being the fam- ily evangelist, praying with kids on the playground, to - I'm not sure. She's still the same person, with the same amazing gift of mercy She's simply, or not so simply, off gathering a testimony. It's going to be a good one too, once it's finished.., Problem is, it's not finished. Not that that's a problem for God. It's a problem for me, her mother, who's watching this testimony in progress and wanting it finished NOW. My friends, Heather and Dave Kopp, have five kids. Dave is the founding editor of Christian Parenting Today magazine. He's now an editor at N lbj igh.'. Publishers. Heatner is writer they both are, and have written wise and wonderful books about being Christian parents. They also write online columns for Beliefnet.com. This morning, I read a few of their columns, raw and honest confessions of how, though they thought they had done kI It Jh 11 everything right as Christian: parents, most of their children have strayed from the faith. They call it going into the dark tunnel: drugs, reckless behav- ior, sex, blatantly .......... ignoring God. Heather writes about one of her sons at 17 having to be tested weekly for drugs as the only way to keep him from smoking dope. She wants him to not smoke because God has so met his' need that pot has NCY lost its thrill, but NEDY he's not there yet, at -- least not when she wrote the column. Dave grew up in Africa, the son of a missionary. He grew up loving Jesus and thought his kids would, too. He writes, "We worry that we have flat- out failed as Christian parents ... so we cling to small signs - anything to indicate that Jesus is alive and well at our house." Yes! I know what you mean, Dave. Like getting a phone call from your child: "Mom, I don't make a habit of this, but I prayed" and then hearing a tale, part of the testimony in progress, that might cause a mom to go into cardiac arrest if not for the part where God shows up with his hand of mercy and grace. Wallet stolen, out of gas, but God gets her safely home. Lost in New York City, a cabbie with. "Jesus stuff" inside his cab brings her where she needs to go. An unexpected bill and no way to pay it, an envelope appears on her doorstep with enough money inside to cover the bill and buy a Filet-O-Fish sandwich at McDonald's. My nickname for this daugh- ter is "The Saga Thus Far." which is another way of saying "testimony in progress." Our joke is that one day she'll stand up in church, wearing a "come to Jesus" dress, pearls and pumps, and tell her story. Recently, she told me how she has a heart for young girls who are "messing up their lives" and wants to set them straight She laughed. "Uh, I guess I'm not there yet," she said. I told her to get her "come to Jesus" dress ready anyway. As my uncle-dad, who prays for her daily, says, "She's not far from the kingdom." My friend Dave believes our kids' generation will come to Jesus differently than we did, but come they will. As for our kids yours included turn- ing out OK, only God knows. What does OK mean, anyway? Still, I've seen God's hand of grace on both my daughters and on me as their mom. As fast and as far as any of us might run, we cannot go far- ther than God's reach. Knowing that helps me sleep at night Heather writes about her son being "lost" in the sense that he doesn't know who he is or where he's going. That may said about all of us at one time. Heather concludes, "I take comfort in knowing that lost is not hopeless. Lost is not the same as gone forever. Lost is simply what you are on theway to being found." And hallelujah God finds all who are his.

A couple of weeks ago a friendly competition was started between Trish Cheston and myself to see who could raise the most money for the Humane Society/SPCA to buy a fence for their property. I would like to thank the many peo- ple who not only donated to me, but who also donated to Trish. We have since found out. that both Trish and I were set up. Yes a devious mind con- cocted the whole challenge idea and tricked us both. Sheri Evans, the little trick- ster, told me that Trish was challenging me, and then told Trish that I was chal- lenging her! What a devious- ly brilliant idea! Between the both of us, Trish and I raised more than $2,000. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the chal- lenge we had a lot of fun try- ing to outdo each other. But in the end the winner is ......the animals! When the fence is con- structed, the animals will have a place where they can be safe. As the Humane Society gets closer to its goal of opening the only animal shelter in Sumter County, Sheri seems to become more creative in her fundraising ideas. Oh she is such a hoot! With the many special funds we have, you can "Pick A Pet Fund" of your choice to, donate to! "The Hope Fund" specifi- cally pays for medical expenses for the injured and abused animals we rescue.' "The Equine Fund" was started to help with the huge Jezabel is the perfect little Beagle. medical expenses the Humane Society/SPCA incurs when rescuing injured, abused, and neglect- ed horses. "The Animal Fighting Fund" pays for materials and publications for education regarding animal fighting, public awareness, and the care of animals rescued from animal fighting. "The Building Fund" dona- tions go specifically to help build our shelter. We challenge the public to see how creative you can get to help raise money for your Pet Fund. Remember, the - winner is always the animals.

She's always loving me forever as her son. She cooks french fries and lettuce salad, beef, and pork chops. She protects me by holding my hand in the store and tells me not to talk to strangers. When I got home I went outside and played on my tire swing and then played computer and we went to Pizza Planet. Next my mom pays bills like electric, I.R.S., and insurance and water company and house payment. We got home after we paid hospital bill.

Stavola of Dixie Lime and Stone Company, P.O. Box 1209, Anthony, Florida 32617, to construct new surface water management systems at an operating llmerock mine that has not been previously permitted. Mining operations at the site were exempt from the re- quirement to obtain a surface water permit, In accord- ance with the provisions of Chapter 40D-45, F.A.C., which was repealed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District on October 9,2001. The total project area Is 1,210.5 acres. Approximately 549.34 acres have been disturbed by the mining of limerock, which consists of nine pits of various sizes, two of which are currently active. During the life of this per- mit, three additional pits will be excavated In the southern portion of the mine In areas consisting of open posture, uplbnd forest and ruderal lands. No wetlands will be disturbed by the proposed mining. The mining will maintain a 500-foot buffer from the wetlands associated with Shady Brook, a tributary of Lake Panasoffkee. After reclamation, the plt shorelines shall be sloped and revegetated to meet the reclama- tion requirements of rule 62C-36,008, F.A.C. The mine operates under a Water Use Permit (No. 10001334.003), and an Industrial Wastewater Permit (No. FL0025569), which allow the discharge of commin- gled. surface water and pumped groundwater from the active mine pit through an outfall that connects to Shady Brook. Grading and sorting facilities and a rock crushing plant are contained within the operations area. The project will result In twelve lakes totaling ap- proximately 608.04 acres. The expected project life will be 40 years. The construction phase of this permit Is 20 years. The project area Includes lands owned by several sep- arate property owners. The definition of "waters" pro- vided in subsection 403.031(13), F.S., Includes water bodies owned by more than one person. At the com- pletion of mining, several of the reclaimed lakes will be jointly owned by two property owners, and therefore, the water quality standards listed In section 62-302.530, F.A.C., will apply. The mine will require a variance from the established water quality standard for dissolved ox- ygen in the lower layers of the multiply-owned reclaim- ed lakes within the project boundary, since dissolved oxygen at depth may not meetmeet the minimum required by rule 62-302.530(31), F.A.C. This was anticipated by the Florida Legislature In paragraph 373.414(6)(a), F.S,, which states that "Where such mining activities other- wise meet the permitting criteria contained In this sec- tion, such activities may be eligible for a variance from the established water quality standard for dissolved ox- ygen within the lower layers of the reclaimed pit." A petition for a variance was received on April 14. 2005. The project Is located one mile east of the town of Sumterville, along County Road 470, In Sections 6, 7, and 8, Township 20 South, Range 23 East, and Sections I and 2, Township 20 South, Range 22 East, In Sumter County. This permit with accompanying variance 'Is hereby granted unless a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing Is timely filed under sections 120,569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes as provided below, If a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing Is timely filed, this Intent to Issue automatically becomes only proposed agency action on the application, subject to the result of the administrative review process, There- Sfore, on the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, this action will not be final and effective until further order of the.Department. When proof of publication Is pro- vided, as required by this Intent, and If a sufficient peti- tion Is not timely filed, the permit with accompanying variance will be Issued as a. ministerial action. Because the administrative hearing may result In the reversal or substantial modification of this action, the applicant Is advised not to commence construction or other activi- ties until the.deadlines noted below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing or request for an exten- sion of time have expired and until the permit and vari- ance have been executed and delivered.

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2005, PAGE 17 Fl14ng high at South Sumter Middle School AMANDA MIMS Staff Writer While many children desire to become astronauts, not all are fortunate enough to see one in person and ask him questions. Students at South Sumter Middle School, however, received a visit from not only a five-flight vet- eran astronaut, but, also a- U.S. state representative on Monday, April 25. - During the one-hour stop with Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite, Air Force Colonel and astronaut James Donald Halsell, Jr., spoke to sixth-, seventh-, and eighth- graders about his job and what it's like to be one of the few people to fly in space. Halsell told students that during liftoff, the shuttle burns 20,000 gallons of fuel per second, and that speed reaches 17,000 miles per hour. After showing a video of what space travel is like for astronauts, Halsell answered questions for the young audi- ence members. In response to one of their questions, he told them the views of the earth are what he likes best in space. "We can even see entire weather patterns from the vantage point of space," he said. .Many of the nearly 900 stu- dents at the school raised their hands, hoping to be cho- sen to ask a question. There were lots of other questions, and two students even got to try out some of what astronauts utilize away from amenities on Earth. One student was selected to sample some of Halsell's "space food," some roasted peanuts. Before nearly a thousand peers, he made gestures of approval as he consumed the treat, which compelled the audience to cheer wildly. Another student got to try out sleeping bags astronauts use. Waite and Halsell helped him into the large blue bag Halsell said astronauts sleep in while hanging upright. This was the third stop on Monday for Halsell and Waite. Earlier in the day they'd been to Homosassa Elementary School and Citrus County Home Schools 'in Homosassa. The Sumter County Association for Retarded Citizens (SCARC) was presented with a check for $928 from the Knights of Columbus of Wildwood. Pictured (left to right) are: Marsha Perkins, SCARC executive director; Regis Gorenflo, Bob Gorenflo, grand knight; Chassity Richardson, SCARC representative, Dave Lenahan, Knights of Columbus financial secretary; and Mary Ann Lenahan. Invitation to healthy start for baby Astronaut James Halsell, Jr., answers questions at South Sumter Middle School in Webster on Monday, April 25, during a visit with Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite. On Wednesday, May 18, a spe- cial event is planned to provide new and expectant parents with a variety of information and assistance to raising healthy babies. Thomas Langley Medical Center through its Healthy Start Program, is organizing a community baby shower that will provide plenty of informa- tion and tips. The event is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18, at the Wildwood Community. Center, on County Road 139. The shower provides an opportunity to familiarize your- self with the resources avail- able to Sumter County women and children, learn and get information on how you can help your baby's development and to have some fun, socialize and meet other expectant par- ents. A variety of agencies and businesses are participating in the event. They include: Sumter County Library, healthy Families, Leesburg Regional Medical Center, March of Dimes, Pregnancy Care Center, Workforce Central, The Connection Helpline, Homes in Partnership Inc., Sumter County Health Department, University of Florida and Sumter Adult Education.

(And why you don't have to be a teacher to join.) /WELCOME \ 84 Buying a car. Saying for a home. Planning retmement. These are the tests in life everyone needs to be ready for. 0 So allow us to tell you a few things that theN just don't reach \ou in school, starting with the difference between banks and credit unions. If sour mones's in a bank, the profits on that money go to stockholders. At a credit union. profits are-returned to members. This explains wh5 members of Suncoast can get a new or used car loan fori as lcw as 4.75-; APRi. It's \why our high-vield certificate accounts earn up to 4.80':'c. .-P and onil require a balance of $1,000. And h\s "free checking" is really free checking. gr In 1934, teachers chartered our credit union with the philosophy of helping one another. Since then., we'e expanded the criteria for membership beyond school employees. No,,. ernplo\ees of man\ local businesses, hospitals, cities and counties, and people 55 ,'r older can join. Immediate family members are eligible as well. So it's possible \ou could become a member too. Call 800-999-5887 or visit joinsuncoast.org to find out more. After all. there's no telling what sou could learn. 217 WEST BELT AVEN -I.E ,SR 4 8 iN BUSHNELL 695-0512 SCT Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact The USDA, Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the City of Bushnell. The proposed project consists of construction of both water and wastewater infrastructure within the Sumterville Urban Development Area. Specifically, the wastewater project would require construction of approximately 16,500 L.F. of 2", 4", and 6" sanitary sewer force mains with valves, directional drilling, low pressure pump stations and grinder pump statiQns. All the force mains will be constructed within the public right-of-ways along U.S. 301, C.R. 528, and C.R. 526A in Sumterville. The water project scope would include construction of two wells, two well pumps, a generator, storage, treatment, and distribution system. The distribution system would consist of approx. 11,100 L.F. of 6", 8", and 10" water main with valves, fire hydrants, directional drillings and fittings. All the water mains will be constructed within the public right-of-ways along U.S. 301, C.R. 528, C.R. 526A and C.R. 526 in Sumterville. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Utilities Service has assessed the potential environmental effects of the proposed project and has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which an Environment Impact Statement will not be prepared. The basis of this determination is as follows: 1. The infrastructure will primarily be located on existing public right-of-ways. '2. No important farmlands, formally classified lands, floodplains, wetlands, or coastal areas are affected. 3. No significant impact on wildlife or vegetation exists. 4. The project does not create adverse consequences related to socio-economics, environmental justice, air quality, transportation or noise. 5. No impacts were identified related to cultural issues.

Melanie Peavy, Development Technician City of Wildwood SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 2005, PAGE 21 Oudoors uit ADAMS ". : :" "i Attending the Florida Springtime Fur Trappers Rendezvous G ood friends, every since I was a small boy I have been absolutely fascinat- ed with the legendary stories of the courageous Mountain Men and the heroic adven- tures they experi- enced as they went .. about exploring and discovering the vast wilderness regions of the far western USA. As a boy growing - up in north Florida, I was very fortunate in being raised up near the banks of a pris- I., tine river abounding with otter, coon, JAMIEA skunks, fox, possums Outdoc and every other fur bearing critter that is native to Florida. With the river and it shoreline being my daily playground to traipse around in, it was only natural for me to read every book and magazine that had any- thing written whatsoever about trapping, camping and living off the land I could lay my hands on. Often times, I remember I would even write off for catalogs that specialized in trapping and outdoor related equipment along with brochures indicating where hides and furs could be sold. Folks, if you can believe it back in those days of by gone yesteryear even the mighty Sears and Roebuck Company was one of the major suppliers of trapping supplies and they also even bought the green hides and furs harvested by trappers. from all over the country. In fact, you could even send the precious catch of coon and possum hides you had worked so hard for to the Sears Roebuck Company and they would then grade the hides and in a just few days a check would arrive in the mail paying you a fair and hon- est price for your hides. Many boys back then were able to make a little spending money by trapping and untold numbers of full-grown men helped support their families with money made from part or full time trapping. Anyway, trapping has long been an intricate and needed tool in regards to wildlife man- agement and the ecology of our nation as well as other countries all over the world. Fur bearing critters a n important part of the world's eco system but at the same time they must be con- trolled to some degree especial- ly in the world we live today with mankind's population dras- tically increasing and the habi- tat for most of natures of wild critters dwindling at an even faster pace. Recently I wrote a article on the need to control the coon population in Florida for "Woods N' Water" magazine and one of the readers of the maga- zine called to compliment me on the article and at the same time invite me to attend the Florida Fur Trappers Spring Rendezvous that was.going to. held near Groveland in the lat- or sH ter part of April. For years I have been a mem- ber of the National Fur Trappers Association even though I do not do any trapping anymore. I support trapping because it is a needed manage- ment tool to help control the overpop- ulation of fur bearing critters and trapping is most definitely a H p noble, historical and traditional part of our great. American Heritage. There is a lot of ADAMS controversy as to r Writer trapping being in- MROMMOM" humane but in my opinion this is a bunch of baloney. Traps that are being used today are made while taking this undue criti- cism into consideration and the traps are now designed to quick- ly dispatch a critter without it having to suffer. Well as it turned out I did get to attend the rendezvous at Groveland and Travis Strickland from Bushnell tagged along. Travis does some critter control work for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and he wanted to pick up a few tips on how to best catch come of the animals he gets complaints on. It is no easy undertaking to just go out and humanely catch some of the critters we have in Florida and it takes a lot of expe- rience and know how to able catch some of them especially when dealing with bobcats and coyotes.

Belt Avenue Bushnell, FL 33513 352-568-0406 Edwardjones Sering Individual Investors Since 187 - Coyotes incidentally have recently become a major prob- lem in Florida and they are not native to our state but you can best believe they are thriving and are doing lot damage to our native wild game as well as non game species along with hurting the agricultural interests all over the state. The rendezvous was just as I expected. There was a bunch of good folks there and all kinds of interesting exhibits were.set up. Some of the exhibits had various items of interest to trappers for sale and there were also several demonstrations and seminars presented on how to catch some of the elusive critters such as coyotes, coon and bobcats. There was even some snares being sold to catch wild hogs and Travis picked up several of those. Wild hogs in some loca- tions are serious problems here in Florida and wild hogs learn very quickly about how to dodge and elude the customary meth- ods being used to capture them so Travis figured using snares might be a new and effective method of catching them. The highlight of the trip to the rendezvous was that I ran into and old friend and adversary by the name of Bo Carlton from down around Bay Lake. Back in the days when I use to be a Game Warden with the Game and Fish Commission I worked the area where Bo lived and old Bo was not above doing a little slip around hunting from time to Bo Carlton with finished coon hide ready for drying. time. I don't remember ever catching Bo but I sure got after him a bunch of times. Folks Bo is a sure nuff Florida Cracker and is a vanishing breed much like the good folks up in North Florida -I was raised up around. Bo is a natural woods- man and I have greatest respect for him and his skills of wood- manship and I appreciate his friendship. Anyway Bo was putting on a demonstration on how to prop- erly skin a coon and then flesh the hide out preparing it for sale. Coon hides are not easy to prepare for the market but Bo has the skill of a surgeon using his skinning knife and in no time at all he had the hide clean and on the drying board. Fur on animals native to Florida do not prime up until its get cold and the season for trapping is during the months of December, January and February. To say the least I had a good time at the Fur Trappers ren- dezvous and I plan on attend- ing every chance I get in the future. I n 11 or .O.
