Center Hill OKs 250-acre RV


annex


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

At a special meeting
Monday, Center Hill City
Council approved the submis-
sion of an application to
annex approximately 250
acres for an RV park on rural
land on County Road 478
between Center Hill and
Webster.
The application will be sub-
mitted to the state
Department of Community
Affairs for review, and, if
approved, will come back to
the city for a final decision.
Greg Beliveau, of Urban
and Regional Planners, Inc.
and spokesman for David
Peterson, an owner of Florida
Grande Motor Coach Resort,

was there to present to the
council and answer questions
property owners had.
According to plans present-
ed to the council by Beliveau
and Engineer Mike
Springstead, the high-end RV
park containing only Class A
motor homes would contain
499 lots, 300 of which are
already spoken for.
'"Assuming we receive a
favorable decision from the
appropriate Sumter County
authorities, we intend to start
construction as soon as possi-
ble," stated Peterson in a let-


ter to Springstead.
In attendance were over 20
people who filled the meeting
room across from City Hall,
and several voiced concerns
before the council.
"There are signs out there
saying there's going to be
sewage spray," said Becky
Hall, who lives in the area of
the proposed park
"Everybody knows when
there's development, there's
sewage," Springstead said.
"We hope to build our own
sewage treatment plant and to
treat the water according to


state standards."
He said the treatment facili-
ty would be on the property,
and the end result would be
the treated water sprayed in a
volume of less than one inch
per week and would resemble
an irrigation system.
"I live directly across from
the (planned) spray field,"
said Dan Croft. He compared
what would be moving near
him in the RV park to other
spray fields in the county. "If
you think that smells like a
rose, you have a bad nose."
But Springstead said if
they're treated and run prop-
erly, there is very little odor:
"You'll always have some
odor," he said.
After the meeting, Peterson,

'All of a sudden I'm talking
on the phone when I felt this
really bad pain in my side and
I'm in the air. I said, Okay God,
if it's my time," don't let me
hurt," said South Sumter High
School teacher Donna
Howton as she recalled the
night she was struck by a hit-
and-run driver in Lake
County.
And then, she said it was
weird, but she heard the
words 'Cover your head.'
"I put my hands behind my
head and tried to curl up like
a ball. The back of my hands
hit," she said, adding they had
some road burn, but -"my head
never hit."
It was after the high school
prom and the horse trailer
she was towing was full of
prom decorations. It detached
itself from the truck she was,
driving as she pulled on the
highway and she flipped the
truck around to shine the
headlights on it for better
vision. Just before the colli-
sion, she and assistant princi-
pal Mike Wood were assessing
the. situation and directing
traffic.
All of a sudden a car pulls
up and he asked if they need-
ed help.
They said yes and he pulled
over ahead of them, the driver
and his son getting out to help.
"I never saw him get out his
car or anything," that's
because that's when she was
hit by another driver.
When she talked about how
God was there for her, she
stressed the arrival of the man
and his son who had stopped
to help immediately before
the collision he was a para-
medic and already calling on
his radio for helicopter trans-
port.
"God just put that man
there it was unbelievable,"
she said.
As he stayed with her, ,con-


vincing her not to get up, she
told him, "I'm hurting really
bad."
He kept her talking, but she
told him, "I don't know if I'm
going to make it Please tell
my family that I'm okay. That I


Donna Howton
wasn't scared because I know
I'm gonna see Jesus and
Daddy's there waiting too."
She told him to tell them
that if anybody in her family
didn't have their lives right
with God to get right to see her
again.
These days she has about as
much metal in her leg as the
Bionic Woman, but the metal
ore inside doesn't compare
with the metal of her faith.
"God was holding me in his
arms the whole .time," she
said adding that she believes
God will use the tragedy of the
incident for good. She said
she doesn't know how, but she
has no doubt about it
She said she's not angry at
all and as for her health now,
she's "Feeling good."
Though her ribs are still
sore and her vertebrae give
her trouble, she said that's
about a six-week healing
process.

131 marijuana plants found in Richloam


Last Thursday. Fish and
Wildlife Conservation offi-
cers discovered 100 marijua-
na plants they say have a
street value of $100,000, after
receiving a tip to look in
Richloam Wildlife
Management Area in south
Sumter County.
Although no arrests were
made following the discov-
ery, officers had better luck
less than a week earlier
when another tip led them
into a different area of
Richloam WMA, where they
found 31 marijuana plants
and arrested three suspects.
After searching the area
for most of the day, on Friday,
May 13, officers only had to
wait about 45 minutes for
subjects to arrive where the
plants were: growing.
Eighteen-year-old twins
Blake Williamson and Derek
Lee Williamson, of Webster,


and a 17-year-old Webster
boy were apprehended and
taken, to the Hernaidbo
County Detention Center.
They were charged wVith cul-
tivation of marijuana, a
third-degree felony, punish--
able by up to five years in
prison.
"We have zero tolerance
for dope operations on
wildlife management areas
and will do what it takes to
destroy them.
"This recent haul certainly
hit the growers where it hurt
- in their wallets, and it pre-
vented more than $131,000
worth of marijuana from
reaching the streets," said Lt
David Straub, whose team
participated in the roundup:
The FWC officers will con-
tinue the marijuana eradica-
tion detail on Richloam
WMA until the growing sea-
son is over.


FWC Lt. David Straub, FWC Officer Steve Farmer and FWC Officer Dan Parisoe stand in front of
the marijuana plants that were discovered in the Richloam Wildlife Area in south Sumter
County.


The application will be submitted to the state
Department of Community Affairs for review

Last summer, Florida
experienced a fierce hurri-
cane season, and authorities
are predicting similar weath-
er to develop again this year.
During the yearly hurri-
cane exercise at Sumter
County Emergency
Management in Bushnell on
Thursday, May 19, law
enforcement, fire rescue,
and other emergency work-
ers met to prepare for yet
another season of possible
heavy wind and rain, tor-
nadic activity, power outages,
and structural damages.
Red Cross, law enforce-
ment, healthcare, fire res-
cue, power, and communica-
tions workers came together
to practice what to do during
a hurricane in case they're
faced with solving similar
problems this summer They
were given agency-specific
scenarios representing what
they might have to do in the
event of a hurricane, and
were required to work out
details, and solve the situa-
tions.
Milton Hill, Sumter County
Emergency Management
director, said in past years
people in the area didn't see
hurricanes as threatening
because of Sumter's inland
locality, but last year changed

"When we had three (hur-
ricanes) in six weeks, it kind
of changed some attitudes,"
he said.
He said between local
agencies "cooperation is a lot
better, because we've already
been through this and we
know what to do."
Other changes in emer-
gency operations this year
include new equipment for
the Sheriff's Office has
acquired. Stored inside a 20-
by 18-foot trailer are eight
1,850-watt generators, three
15,000-watt generators,
numerous floodlights, gaso-
line cans, industrial fans, and
portable canopies, to help
assist in shelters and homes.
Lt Bobby Caruthers of the
Sumter Sheriff's Office said
the large generators are
strong enough to power
entire homes for those with
medical conditions that
require air conditioning. The
smaller generators will
enable the use of appliances
and respiratory devices.
Caruthers said the positive
thing about last year's storms
is that emergency personnel
gained knowledge they'll be
able to apply if the situation
calls for it this year.
"We learned more last hur-
ricane season than any other
year," he said. ;"We feel that
we're prepared."

Calling it quits
Thomas E. Langley Medical Center
will kick off a smoke free workplace
initiative May 30, "World No Tobacco
Day"
As the health care center for the
community, we think we need to offer
a safe healthful workplace to: our
patients and employees. Smoking ces-
sations is one of the objectives in our
health care plan.
Here are some of the reasons we
think a smoke free workplace is the
next step:
Cigarette smoking is the leading
preventable cause of death in this
country.
It is responsible for one in every
five American deaths.
Secondhand smoke causes over
3,000 lung cancer deaths annually, as'
well as exacerbation of lung disease
in nonsmoking adults and respiratory
problems in children.
Secondhand smoke a recent study
found that people who were exposed
to smoke in the workplace were 17
percent more likely to develop lung
cancer than those who were not
exposed.
We i mlemented a plan that includ-
ed smoking cessation training for
providers and nursing staff. The cen-
ter will offer smoking cessation serv-
ices as an employee benefit for'
employees wishing to quit Smoking
cessation supplies for those enrolled
in the program will be provided at a
reduced cost. We want to demonstrate
our commitment to employees who
smoke. We would like to reassure
smokers that the company is not try-
ing to stigmatize them.
Our Employee Committee had an
open forum to discuss concerns and


ideas to make the change and easier
process.A team working on the imple-
mentations recommended an incen-
tive program that will reimburse for
the cost of the smoking cessation sup-
plies to those employees that stay
smoke free for 6 months. A "buddy"
system will also be available were ex-
smokers will support employees who
want to quit Written support material
is placed thought the facility for easy
access.
We are proud 'to share that three
employees from pharmacy have
already committed to quit We will
support their effort to fight this addic-
tion with the comprehensive arrays of
services we always provide to ourI
patients. We consider our employees
part of the Langley family, we are
thrilled with' the good news that our
family is getting healthier!

Hospice appreciates
Local support
We wish to thank the Sumter County
Times and its readers for helping us
preserve superior hospice services,:
as we know them in the state of
Florida.
During the Florida legislative ses-
sion, which ended May 6, there were
bills before both houses that would
strike "not-for-profit" from the hos-
pice definition, thereby allowing for-
profit hospices to treat Floridians at
the end of life. Many hospice services
now provided by community driven,
not-for-profit hospices could have
been lost.
Due to the diligence of concerned
citizens, the med ia. hospice programs
throughout the state, volunteers,\
board members, staff, and a few legis-


lators and their staffs, the bills were
not put on the legislative .calendars
for voting and, therefore, did not
become law this year. Instead, by
January 1, 2006, and before the next
session in Tallahassee, a proposed
study of Florida hospices may be con-
ducted by the Office of Program Policy
Analysis and Government
Accountability to determine the
impact for-profit hospices would have
in our state.
For now, thanks to everyone who
called, e-mailed, wrote letters, signed
forms, printed articles, conducted
radio/television interviews, and made
any other contacts to Florida lawmak-
ers. This grassroots effort will enable
Hospice of Lake and Sumter and all
other Florida hospices to continue
providing the best end-of-life care to
our most frail and vulnerable citizens.
We appreciate your confidence in
our abilities by supporting us in this
issue. Please convey our thanks to
your readers. o '

Support for cancer victims

and their family members


Anyone who has been affected by
cancer knows that it is a terrifying dis-
ease and causes physical, metal, and
emotional hardship when it strikes.'
Now there is support in the south
end of Sumter County for those affect-,
ed by this illness.
Lee Krauss, a local businessman
who battled esophageal cancer for
most of last year, said he began recov-
ering last fall and has been working on
creating a support group over the last
few months.
"I looked around and saw a need in
our community for a cancer support
group," he said.
So Krauss teamed up with local
nurse Georgia Klems, and restaura-
teurs Donna Mangino and Vickie
Grube, who host the meetings at

"(Cancer) is such a scary word, and
to be diagnosed is frightening." Krauss
said. "It's important for people to know
that there is hope, that you can survive,
and many people do survive."
Krauss said he wants people at the
meetings to "have an opportunity to
'share stories and talk about their
lives."
At the group's first meeting, 12 peo--
ple attended, and Krauss said partici-
pants varied and included survivors,


patients going through treatment, fam-
ily members, and caregivers.
He said though participants don't
have to, they are given an opportunity
to introduce themselves and talk about
their type of, cancer and experiences
they've had.
They discuss everything from hair
loss and anemia caused by treatments
to what kinds of food to eat
-"It's really 'special. It's hard to
describe," he said.*
He said he thinks the group will be,
helpful to family members as well as
victims.
Krauss said even though it's hard to
believe, "sometimes it's harder on the
family than the person going through
it." He said his wife, Karen, has been
very encouraging of his efforts to form
a support group, and will be attending
meetings with him whenever possible.
So far, they've been able to secure a
speaker from The American Cancer
Society to talk to the group at one of
their meetings, and hope to continue
with similar activities in the future.
The support group will meet the sec-
ond Monday of each month at Chuck's
Odd Cuples Cafe in Bushnell on West
C-48 at 7 p.m. For information, contact
Lee Krauss at (352) 793-7704.


ome two weeks ago, all of televi-
sion and print media broke the
story of the $1 billion that will
be given to health-care providers, pri-
marily hospitals, to provide illegal
and undocumented immigrants with
free health care that is, free to
them.
I wrote twice, in the
summer and winter of,
2003, concerning this pro- '
viso within the Medicare
Modernization,
Improvement and
Prescription' Drug Act of
2003 (MMA). o
I further have been
astounded that folks con-
tinue to write letters to
the editor, announcing
their displeasure. Well,
people, get ready, because D
the MMA train is a-comin'! Ro
And there will be more
unpleasantness on the
trackI
Just so you know, this four-year $1
billion gift is not new policy; in fact, it
is a continuation of a policy providing.
free health care for undocumented
immigrants.
Folks, we are approaching 50 mil-
lion uninsured Americans, so the
heck with Americans first After all,
what's a few billion here and there,
that you will pay for?
0 Did you know?
Bayer, the German pharmaceutical
company, was forced to give up its
trademarks of aspirin and heroin in
1919, as part of the World War I agree-


Ad
K


ment, at the Treaty at Versailles.
It is interesting to me, that within
the span of a couple of a years, in the
ending years of the 19th century, that
Bayer was able to patent, manufac-
ture and distribute these two pain
relieving prescription drugs. These
two drugs were, perhaps,
the most famous of all
drugs' aspirin and the
most infamous, heroin in
AA the 20th century.
S; The original purpose of
heroin was to replace mor-
W'% V phine, a highly addictive
i- ". pain reliever In fact, hero-
in with a capital H was orig-
inally lauded for its non-
addictive qualities.
Acetylsalicylic acid -
* aspirin and diacetylmor-
N phine heroin were
LAN credited to a German
chemist, Professor
Heinrich Dresser. Both
drugs became extremely popular, not
only in Europe, but also in the United
States and Great Britain.
Salicylic acid has been around for a
millennium. It is an extract of the bark
of a willow tree, and had been used
for medicinal purposes in many
ancient cultures. Bayer's aspirin, with
a capital A, was the first tablet medi-
cine ever marketed.
Aspirin has a number of uses.
Originally marketed as a pain medica-
tion, its anti-inflammatory properties
soon became evident, and it became
the grandfather of all nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In


fact, for some 60 years it was the only
NSAID. To this date, aspirin is the
most used medication in the world, a
true multi-purpose miracle drug.
The non-addictive properties of
heroin were found to be incorrect In
fact, the opposite became the order of
the day Within heroin's first 10 years
of marketing, the drug's fatal attrac-
tion became evident, primarily in
Great Britain and the United States.
Both countries were inundated with
addicts, and a new word was entered
into the English language junkie.
The word junkie became, a popular
name for those unfortunate souls that
suffered from addiction. They were
known to steal scrap iron and other
metals and sell them to raise money
for their habit, hence junkie.
One of the first known heroin
"junkies" was the good Professor
Dresser.
In 1919, at the Treaty of Versailles,
as part of German reparations, Bayer
was forced to relinquish its patent to
the United States, Great Britain,
Russia and France.
In 1924, the United States deemed
heroin as an illegal substance, and
forbade its manufacturing.
Aspirin is still the trademark of
Bayer, in Germany, and nearly 100
other countries in the world.
I am not advocating for, nor con-
demning Bayer, but few are aware of
this story and everyone I have told it
to has found it interesting. I hope that
you, too, find it interesting; it makes
for great party chat

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2004, PAGE 5


Center Hill Oks RV park annex


Mining issues rock Sumter


BOB REICHMAN
Editor

Sumter County is experi-
encing a continual influx of
applications from mining
interests either wanting to
expand their existing opera-
tions in the county or start up
new ones.
Most recently, the county
received a request from Paul
Mazak, owner of Mazak Mine
in Mabel to modify his exist-
ing conditional use permit to
allow a cement manufactur-
ing plant on the property.
The mining operation is
located east of State Road 471
off State Road 50.
The issue goes to zoning and


adjustment board at 6:30 p.m.,
on Monday, June 6, then to the
County Commission at 6 p.m.
on Tuesday June 14. ,
Mazak's request comes on
the heels of three other land
use issues involving mines
that were recently presented
to the county.
Attracting the most atten-
tion, and the most controversy,
is a request from Florida
Crushed Stone for a condi-
tional use permit that would
allow the company to expand
its mining operation on about
395 acres just west of the
Center Hill city limits.
Residents near the pro-
posed site have already start-
ed meeting in efforts to
oppose the proposal.


That permit request will be
consideration by the zoning
and adjustment board on
Monday, June 20, and then by'
the County Commission on
Tuesday, June 28.
On Tuesday, the County
Commission was scheduled to
consider a special use permit
from Rinker Materials
Corporation to build two con-
crete block-manufacturing
plants on 19 acres of land at
the southwest corner of State
Road 48E and County Road
745.
On May 16, the county zon-
ing and adjust board, unani-
mously voted to recommend
that the County Commission
approve the request with con-
ditions.


Local landscaping workshops scheduled


Wendel Martinkovic, extension agent for resi-
dential horticulture, with selected guest speak-
ers, is presenting a monthly landscaping series.
This series will take place in the West Wing
meeting room of Lake Panasoffkee Recreation
Center, 1582 C.R. 459, across from Lake


Panasoffkee Library and C.R. 459 off of Highway
470.
The time will be 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. The June 1
session will be on Composting; July 13 Dealing
with Pests.
To register call 352-793-2728.

Mike Springstead, of Springstead Engineering, explains some
of the details for a 499-parcel RV park that has raised con-
cerns for several people who live in the area.


RV
continued from Page 1
who owns the RV property,
said he understands these
concerns, but the RV park will
have a good quality treatment
facility.
. "We're building a two mil-
lion dollar home (near) the
spray field.'?
Other concerns ranged from
fire and police protection in
the park to the amount of
added traffic to bordering and
nearby roads.
Park residents, would need
fire and police protection
coming from Center Hill, but
the development team said
they would build their own
roads within the park and the
current county roads wouldn't


have to support traffic for
large RVs because they would
generally remain on lots
while residents drive regular
vehicles to and from the park
But there was also the issue
of altering the landscape.
Ron Slay, who also lives
near the proposed park and
owns Florida Fish Farms in
Center Hill, said he thinks the
development will ruin the
rural character of the area.
"When it changes, it changes
forever. That's it," he said
after the meeting. "It won't be
this 'way anymore."
With little discussion
amongst council members
Monday evening, they unani-
mously voted to submit the
developer's application to
DCA.
The .next regular council
meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m.

COMMUNITY

NATIONAL BANK

CHANGES NAME
Community National Bank
will be changing its name to
CenterState Bank West
Florida N.A.
The Community National
Bank of Pasco County opened
in 1989 with one office in
Zephyrhills. It opened its
first branch in Bushnell in
early 1993 and the Wildwood
Office in late 1998. Now 16
years later, it has seven
offices located in four coun-
ties (Pasco, Sumter,
Hernando and Citrus) and it
only makes sense to change
its name to reflect its market
area.
Additional building sites
have been identified in Pasco,
Heniando and Citrus coun-
ties for new branch locations.
They will open over the next
'three years in order to better
serve the bank's customers.
According to Marilyn
Connell, Vice-President,
Bushnell branch, "This
change will not affect our cus-
tomers as services, manage-
ment and staff will remain the
same. The only change will
appear in our signage as we
look forward to serving you
for the next 16 years."

Chin's looking for CHATER good home


Chinny's looking for a good home


Sweet little Chinny with the
Sbig ears
The precious little
Chihuahua has had a tough
life, but things are looking up
for Chinny now that the
Humane Society has rescued
her. Chinny is a little senior
that recently found a loving
home, but her Mom became
very ill and sadly had to give
Chinny back to the Humane
Society/SPCA. So Chinny is
once again in the market for a
loving home.
She loves lying in a sunny
spot, sharing your bed, and
giving lots of love. If you
would like to give Chinny the
loving home she deserves,
call the Humane
Society/SPCA of Sumter
County at 352-793-9117 and
leave your name, address,
and phone number, or e-mail
us at humane@sum.net Visit
our web site to see our other
animals at www.humanesoci-
etyspcaofsumtercounty.com.
Thanks to a donation from
longtime member, Patricia
Cheston, to the Humane
Society/SPCA, you will start to
see public service messages
around the county about the
dangers of leaving animals in
vehicles during the hot sum-
mer months. The message is
on a bright orange 4 x 10
poster card.
Hot! Hot! Hot! On a hot


Chinny is available for adoption.


Florida day the temperature
in your car quickly gets high
enough to kill your pet! Never,
ever, leave your pet in your
car even with the windows
cracked! Park him at home
instead.
If you see an animal left in
a car, have someone immedi-
ately enter the"'business
where the owner may be, and
have the owner paged until
someone comes forward.
Make sure someone stays
with the vehicle, keeping the
dog insight at all times. A sit-


uation can quickly change
from bad to worse. Call 911 if
necessary.
Leaving an animal in a hot
vehicle is illegal, and, an ani-
mal cruelty offense. The
informational poster cards
have the Florida State Statue
828.12 Cruelty to Animals law
plainly written on it

Women's program set by Salvation Army


"The Home League is one of
the world's largest women's
volunteer organization; wher-
ever there is a Salvation Army
there is a 'Home League'," said
Eleanor Stewart of The.
Salvation Army in Sumter
County.
Home League is a program
within the Women's Ministries
of The Salvation Army.
The emphasis of the pro-
gram is on personal and spiri-
tual growth as well as commu-
nity service, support and fel-
lowship.
The outreach of the organi-
zation is international, and the


Florida membership supports
an orphanage in Mexico as
well as other local projects.
The first meeting, in Sumter
County, will be held on
Tuesday, May 31, at 10 a.m. at
The Salvation Army located at
870 N. Main Street in
Bushnell. Refreshments will
be served and door prizes will
be awarded. All women (mini-
mum age is 18) are invited.
"I have often seen the posi-
tive impact this group can
have in the lives of women and
families. It is very exciting to
see the services and support
that women can bring to their


community. I especially enjoy
the fellowship and field trips
and community projects. We
tailor the program to the
ladies' interests and skills.
Sometimes we include crafts,
scrap-booking and handicrafts
in our program; whatever the
ladies feel is important," said
Eleanor Stewarb

A BRIEF LESSON ABOUT

Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union.

(And why "free checking" really means free checking.)



$0.00i



Jt When it comes to looking out for your money, a lot of banks just aren't

making the grade. (Or perhaps ,ou\e done the math on your "free checking"

account and determined that a service charge here and a service

charge there does not equal free.) That being the case, there's no better

time to become enlightened about joining a credit union. See. banks exist

for one reason: to return profits to shareholders. At credit unions, profits go

right back to members in the form of lower rates on loans, higher earnings

on deposits and free and low-fee services. )1( Consider what you can get at

Suncoast: Free checking with no minimum balance or monthly fee. You also

get free access to your account at branches, ATIMs, by phone and the internet.

We even provide free bill pay. And you'll find friendly, experienced advisors

who are committed to treating you the way they like to be treated. & That

includes taking the time to explain things, with straight answers. And you just

can't put a price on that. 84 You may be eligible to become a member of

Suncoast. Just call 800-999-5887 or visit joinsuncoast.org to learn more.

Townsend takes Golden Palette award Memorial Day event set


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Eighteen-year-old Natasha
Townsend took the top artist
award for the year at her
home school, South Sumter
High.
A four-year student of
teacher Cindy Spell,
Townsend took Spell's
Golden Palette Award.
"I feel honored that I was
selected," Townsend said of
the award. ,
Currently employed at
Winn Dixie, she plays county
softball and strives to work
on her art
"I've been involved with art
as long as I can remember.
Since I could hold a pencil
I've been drawing."
And who does she credit
with her artistic success?
"My mother, because she
has always been the artist I
strive to be and from the
moment I saw her drawing, I
knew that was what I wanted
to."1
She got started because of
"My mother and father. They
have' always pushed me to
achieve."
As for what she wants from
herself, Townsend said, "I


think at times I expect too
much from myself, but as far
as a minimum I expect to do
my best at work and at school
and stay on top of things."
When it comes to her work
and the future, she said, "I
hope to see it selling online
and in art shops, including
my own."
She wants to own her own
business, including a website
to sell her paintings and a
mural and fine arts business.
She worked to get an early
start in art and getting her
name out.
Among her most memo-
rable moments, Townsend
has a list of achievements to
be proud of.
"When I had my art hang in
the Appleton (museum), I
won my first best of show rib-
bon in the Sumter County
fair, doing my first mural for
Mrs. Farmer at South Sumter
Middle School, painting a
window for the Pink Poodle
in Lake Panasoffkee, finish-
ing the two wolf murals on
the doors of South Sumter
High School library and
receiving the Golden Palette'
Award.
She believes her work in
art is important because, "It's
what I love to do, and I leave

a mark doing it."
While she admits her
weakness would be that she
sometimes gets sidetracked
from her main goal,
Townsend said her strengths
are her determination and
her need to excel.
She's taken art for years,
but the most unexpected
thing she learned from class
was how to organize a portfo-


lio.
She also may have a future
in teaching- she has an inter-
est in it and credits Spell
with that spark

and Marie Townsend

Folks, for you that might

as to where the Sal Apopka
Marsh is, it is located in the
north east portion of Citrus
County and is adjacent to the
Withlacopchee River and in
my opinion has to be far and
away one of the most beauti-
ful fresh water marshes in
the world and to boot is teem-
ing with native wildlife and
aquatic vegetation.
This really is a long drawn
out story but to bring you up
to snuffon what happened to

was to remove a
small portion of an illegal
earthen dike that had been
put into the marsh by some-
one way up north somewhere
who had years ago took huge
bull dozers and draglines and
built roads all over the marsh
in order to connect many of
the beautiful natural islands
situated all through out the
marsh.
Terrible and shameful eco-
logical damage was quickly
done by the giant bull dozers
and draglines to the pristine
Sal Apopka marsh's fragile
eco system not to mention
disrupting the natural
cleansing flow of the fresh
water which is the very life
blood and essence of the
massive marsh as it slowly
flowed through the wetlands
to eventually mate up with
the Withlacoochee River
near Stokes Ferry.
Future flooding problems
quickly evolved from these
miles of illegal dike building
and today we tax paying citi-
zens are going to have to
spend a lot money to repair
all of the damage that was
done in a short period of time
to the beautiful marsh that
had taken God and nature

SUMTER COUNTY (FL) TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2004, PAGE 17


Graduation:


Sumter


2005


HENRY POATES AND
AMANDA MIMS

More than 200 South
Sumter High School students
and 91 students of Wildwood
High School of the Class of
2005 were graduated Friday
evening.
School Supt. Richard
Shirley addressed the
Wildwood graduates and
those assembled in the
school's auditorium. Shirley
stated that a total of $47,500
in scholarships, not includ-
ing Bright Futures awards,
were won by members of the
graduating class at
Wildwood. For the Bright
Futures Scholarships, 22
Wildwood students qualified
through the end of the first
semester.
Emily Ferrell, Wildwood
class salutatorian, spoke of
the times and trials which
the Class of 2005 encoun-
tered. Harry Holloman, class
valedictorian, spoke of the
future and opportunities for
the graduating class.
After the ceremonies, grad-
uates assembled on the lawn
for one last group gathering.
Most of the graduates excit-
edly congratulated each
other; others tearfully said
their good-byes.
For soon-to-be graduates,
the mood at South Sumter
High School was one of antic-
ipation and the excitement of
venturing out into the


unknown as they all gathered
together for the last time as
high school students.
More than 200 seniors
lined up outside the
Bushnell gymnasium, girls
dressed in red caps and
gowns, and boys in black, get-
ting ready to walk in and
receive the diplomas they'd
worked toward for more than
12 years.
It was also a proud time for
nearly 2,000 parents, family
members, friends, and teach-
ers as they watched their 17-
and 18-year-old sons and
daughters.
After hearing speeches
from their superintendent,
class president, and others,
students received their
diplomas and giddily met on
the lawn outside the gym to
greet family members and
friends waiting for them
there.
For Laura Kinnard, gradu-
ating from high school
brought mixed feelings. "I'm
nervous to go into the world.
I'm scared but happy," she in
between hugs from family
members.
Kinnard said she plans to
go to school for nursing at
Santa Fe Community College
in Gainesville soon.
The experience was much
the same for her mom, Lisa.
"I'm very, very proud," she
said. "I'm joyous, excited and
sad all at the same time," she
said.

Student to attend Presidential Program _____.....__


Harold Gadson of
Wildwood, will attend
Presidential Classroom's
Program, from July 2 to July 9
in Washington D.C.
Presidential Classroom, the
leader in civic education, pro-
vides the best and brightest
high school juniors and sen-
iors unprecedented access to
the leaders who shape
America's public policy.
During the weeklong pro-
gram, PC Scholars interact
with Washington insiders,
including Members of
Congress, presidential
appointees, senior military
officials, top business leaders
and journalists.
. Students observe the U.S.
Congress in action, visit their
congressional offices and
debate current issues with
peers from the United States
and abroad. They also visit the


renowned sites of our nation's
capital such as the White
House (by special invitation),
the U.S. Department of State
and Arlington National
Cemetery. Additional pro-
grain highlights include a
seminar on the floor of the
U.S. House of
Representatives, Central
Intelligence Agency briefing
and foreign embassy visits.
Former Congressman Jack
Buechner, CEO and President
of PC said, "Our students meet
and question the people who
make and shape our nation's
policies.
No other program melds
leadership, academics and
current events in such an
appealing combination. Our
students return home with a
new perspective on politics
and the world."
1968, Presidential


Classroom, a nonprofit, non-
partisan, 501(c)3 civic educa-
tion organization, began to
prepare young leaders for
responsible citizenship and
provide outstanding high
school students the chance to
explore the political process
firsthand.
Aimed at high school jun-
iors and seniors with a mini-
mum 3.0 grade point average,
Presidential Classroom offers
seven unique and challenging
leadership development
experiences, focusing on key
issues such as business,
media, science and technolo-
gy, law and justice, national
security, and international
relations.
In January 2005, students
have the opportunity to par-
ticipate in the Inaugural activ-
ities in the Presidential
Inauguration Program.


The Wildwood Middle School Guitar Group ends the school year with a rocking performance.

Wildwood Guitar Group plays on


RoBIN EDDINS
Times Correspondent

May 17 marked the last per-
formance this year of the
Wildwood Middle School
Guitar Group and a farewell
for the 8th graders moving on
to high school this fall.
Under the tutelage of Ron
Moore the group that consists
of acoustic, electric and bass
guitars; keyboards and per-
cussions as well as a versatile
array of vocalists, performs


for area schools and numer-
ous community functions. The
27 member groups had ten
performances this year
including the Sumter County
Fair.
Moore assists the middle
school children in learning
the ins and outs of musical
performance art from han-
dling and setting up of the
professional equipment, stage
presence, getting along with
one another to manners and
discipline. Each student must


also maintain a specific grade
level to remain in the group.
Songs performed included
"Our Lips are Sealed," "That's
What It's All About," "True to
Your Heart" with a grand
finale of "R.O.C.K. in the
USA."
Just before the last number
the students performed a par-
ody song in dedication to their
mentor, Moore, and presented
him with a gift of a guitar
signed by all the members of
the group.

Essay Winners


Triple "R" rewards students


Students at North Sumter
Intermediate School were
selected for the Triple "R"
Program based upon grades,
behavior improvement, and
over all attitude.
The students went to Easy
Street Family Fun Center in
Ocala, Florida.
Students rode go-carts,


soaked each other on the
bumper boats, played putt-
putt golf, played video games,
and ate all the pizza and
drank all the drinks they
could.
There were 13 total stu-
dents who completed the
entire program which was
quite an accomplishment


given the fact that the pro-
gram started with 31 students.
The four other students not
listed are: Shaquille Pierson,
DeAndrew Kiner, Rashad
Turks, and Kiauna Bastian.
These remaining fifteen stu-
dents improved their grades
and behavior during the
entire school year.


Breonna Mertz is shown with her mom Kim. She won dinner
for two at Cracker Barrel in Brooksville and a bouquet of flow-
ers for her mom, because of her teen essay "What a Mom is to
Me." Mertz vied against other teens in the Sumter County
Times contest. The restaurant donated the dinners and
Bushnell's Wal-Mart Supercenter donated the flowers.


The students pictured from
left to right are as follows:
Joy James, Jakirriya
Simpson, Chimas Thomas,
Jasmine Fluitt, Devon
Thornburg, Ronisha Mitchell,
Todd Erving, Jeremy Barkley,
Rodney Bouie, and Deputy
Mooneyham. These students
successfully completed the
second phase of the program.


Nicole Wallace was one of the
winners in the "What a Mom
is to Me" essay contest at the
Sumter County Times. Nicole
won a Wal-Mart $20 gift cer-
tificate for her mom Annika

Boston National Fuelsaver

With a simple connection

of fuel, burning inside the
engine from 68% of each
gallon to 90% of each
gallon. a.22% increase.
Since unbunmt fuel leaving


an engine is pollution, this
22% of each gallon
normally bums when it
reaches the platinum of
the catalytic converter.
However, the converter's
platinum bums 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.
Joe Robinson, the developer,
was quite surprised at the
market research: "We have
sold a half million Gas
Savers. To our surprise, as
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."

Teachers raise scholarship money for late principal


AMANDA MIMS
Staff Writer

Lake Panasoffkee
Elementary teacher Bill
Hubbard took a day off from
teaching his fifth grade class
on Thursday, May 19, thanks
to a winning ticket that
afforded him the opportunity.
to have School Supt. Rick
Shirley teach his class for
him.
He and other teachers in
the Sumter School District
managed to raise a total of
$700 for a scholarship to
memorialize North Sumter
Intermediate School's late
principal, Timothy White.
White, 49, died in February
of an apparent self-inflicted
gunshot wound amid an
investigation concerning
inappropriate conduct
involving a student.
Over the past few weeks,
many of the district teachers
supported a fundraising
effort to launch a scholarship
in his name.
Teachers paid $5 for a
chance to have Shirley teach
their class for a day. After
selling 140 tickets and pick-
ing one name, Hubbard was
pronounced the happy win-
ner.
"He had a good day to plan


and get some of the end-of-
the-year things done," said
Peggy Wood of Hubbard. "He
was elated he actually got a
real lunch, and he did a lot of
work he would have had to
do at home."
Wood also works as a
teacher at LPES and heads
up the Sumter County
Education Association,
where the scholarship idea
started.
She said she felt something
should be done in White's
name.
"Mr. White used to. be a
teacher," Wood said. "We saw
there was a need (for the
scholarship."
She said the scholarship
idea was put together pretty
quickly, but 'they still hope to
get it out to a 2005 graduate if
possible.
"First and foremost he was
a teacher and principal," she
said. "I'm sure Mr. White
would like it He was always
helping kids."
Although White's case
remains under investigation,
many faculty and staff mem-
bers in the district have
shown support for him.
Articles taken from his home
at the time of his death are
still being examined by the
Florida Department of Law
Enforcement

Honoring




educators


BRENDA LOCKLEAR
Staff Writer

Sumter County retired edu-
cators met earlier this month
to honor current top teachers
and future educators.
Presentation for the newest
scholarship recipient,
Rebecca Raciappa, was key


Retired principal Carolyn
Stephens won an American
eagle from the retired educa-
tor's association. Stephens
and others were vying for the
eagle while supporting the
educator's scholarship fund.

on the agenda, as well as hon-
oring this year's Teacher of
the Year nominees.
Raciappa was on hand with
her parents, Mark and Linda.
Raciappa was introduced
by member Dave Starnes. He
said he had originally moved
toward engineering, but
became a math and science
teacher Instead of becoming
one engineer, that allowed
him to help "Make 1,000 engi-
neers."
He praised Raciappa, say-
ing she was one of the best
applicants they've encoun-
tered.


He said she's been prepar-
ing for her work throughout
her career and through her
social life, including her work
with her family's business.
He said it took the commit-
tee about two minutes and
they were convinced.
"We interviewed her and
she interviewed us," he said
with a laugh, adding she has a
vibrant personality.
Fundraiser chair Jackie
Denham said she was exuber-
ant with so much personality
and expression coming from
heart.
Raciappa made her final
decision to pursue elemen-
tary education after three
years in the Tiny Tots program
at South Sumter High School.
Raciappa also earned the
state scholarship.
Danielle Beville and Jessica
Joslyn were also on the list to
receive scholarships at the
lunch, but were not available.
Both girls also earned the
state scholarships Beville is
second year and Joslyn is
fourth year.
President Marilyn Barnes
led the meeting, with member
Marjorie Wells making pre-
sentations to top teachers.
Those teachers included
Chris McKinney, Lynn
Thomas, Mike Calloway,
Benachoice Caruthers, Steven
Doggett, Jane Hunter, Molly
Everett, Karen Vandemark
and Danielle Sanders.
When Sanders spoke at the
luncheon, she laughed and
recalled her family telling her
that she was going to make a
great teacher.
She responded, "There's no
way I'm going to become a
teacher."
That was years ago today,
she teaches eighth-grade sci-
ence.
When North Sumter
Intermediate School Physical


Marjorie Wells is shown presenting Diane Childs with an award for Teacher of the Year nominee for the late Teasha Edwards.
Edwards, who was a popular teacher at South Sumter Middle School, was Childs' granddaughter. Childs attended the Sumter
County Retired Educators Association luncheon, where teacher nominees were honored. Edwards, who died earlier this year,
was selected as the Teacher of the Year for the entire county.


Education teacher Karen
Vandermark came to the podi-
um, she looked at retired
teacher Rosa Lee Tomberlin
and pointed out it was
Tomberlin who influenced
her life and choices when it
came to teaching and the sub-
ject she chose.
It's clear she enjoys her job
working with kids, so much so
that she explained it as :a joy
from the kids that "Kind of
splashes' back all over you."
Everett, Lake Panasoffkee
Elementary' School, said she
has 30 years in but can't see
retiring. "I don't want to do
anything but work with kids.
Maybe in another 10 I'll be


here with you," she said with
humor
Member Minnie Ruth
Stumborg was coordinating
the upcoming state assembly.
Retired agriculture teacher
and County Commissioner
John Stephens led the group
in a devotional before dinner
was served.
Citing a verse of scripture,
indicating that the greatest
commandment was of love,
Stephens quoted that "The
greatest measure of a man is
not how great their faith, but.
how great their love."
He shared the story of the
minister who traveled to a
Hawaiian island to serve lep-


ers.
He attempted to serve them
for 12 years and finally gave
up after being unsuccessful
and unaccepted.
On the day he was leaving
he found spots he had
become a leper
Word got out on the island
and the residents responded-
to him.
"He didn't know how to
show love to the people until
he became one of them,"
Stephens cited.
Stephens was emotional as
he shared information about
donations for the scholar-
ships, pointing out that a,
donation had been made in.


his late son's memory.
The group offered a number
of opportunities to help fund:
scholarships, from a book
table where buyers could pick.
up a good read for a donation
to a ceramic American eagle
won by retired principal
Carolyn Stephens (unrelated).
She will take over as chair
of the fundraising committee.
The group also saves coins
in birthday jars and donates
items to auction.
The luncheon was held on
Thursday, May 5, at the First
Baptist Church of Bushnell
and hosted by members, with
a variety of home-cooked
foods.


Rebecca Raciappa (center) stands with her parents and displays a certificate declaring her the
recipient of the 2005 Sumter Retired Educator's Association $500 scholarship.


Vandermark, Sanders, McKinney and Everett were on hand for the luncheon, each taking a turn
at the podium.

Move over late models, there's a new division


Citrus County Speedway's
top division has always
been the Late Model divi-
sion. As history has proven, the
high-power perform-
ance machines driv-
en by competitors -
with a high need for
speed have been the
number one draw for
the weekly racing
venue. But not any-
more.
Introduced into
the racing arena
last season, the
Modified division K
has turned up the BOLL
pressure and is
delivering quite a
i'acing show. The division has
had 32 different
competitors with a average of
20 making each night's race
program.
Those numbers alone are


,l


impressive when you figure in
the cost of these race
machines.
There have been four differ-
ent winners in five
events, Tommy
Schnader being the
only repeat winner to
date. Other winners
include defending
Modified Champion
Billy Bechtelheimer,
Harold Cannon and
Jack Arnold.
The driver's list
itself is overflowing
IM with talent. Robert
INGER Ray sported his new
ride last week to a
top five finish and is
always a contender at the finish.
Kyle Bookmiller continues to be
strong, as does Jimmy Wagner
and Jack Arnold. All are within
the top ten in driver points.
Saturday's event saw Jack


Arnold with the early lead and
Harold Cannon passing one car
after another on the outside
lane. It took Cannon 15 circuits
to catch Arnold's lead, but once
he did, he made his move and
took control for the final five
laps and the win.
Arnold followed for second
while a heated race for third
developed between Ronny
Cambell and Tommy Schnader.
That battle left both drivers
disqualified for the night, fined
and suspended for one week for
their physical battle.
It doesn't make much sense
when you look at it Drivers, who
obviously love to compete, tak-
ing it to the extreme and cross-
ing the line. But racing is a con-
tact sport and I guess its bound
to happen in the heat of the bat-
tle, and then beyond.
While it is not how racing is
supposed to be, it does make for


Batson takes second straight


win at Citrus County Speedway


. James Batson took his sec-
ond straight Hobby Stock win
at Citrus County Speedway
Saturday night.
Batson powered from out-
side the ninth row and was in
position to make a run on race
leader Artie Hewitt when the
fourth and final caution flew
on the final circuit of the 20-
lap event
"I thought I just might have
a chance at winning it," said
James Batson after the race.
"I knew I had to stay as close
to the No. 9 (Artie Hewitt) as I
could." .
When the field went back to
green, Batson immediately
went to work on positioning
his No. 77 racecar for a run at
the win.
"I thought I could pass him
on the outside," Batson said.
"On the restart he stayed real

Out of turn two, Batson and
Hewitt were side-by-side, and
as they entered turn No. 3
Batson had cleared Hewitt's

From there it was just a

for the finish.

a few intense and energizing
moments.
Most races this season have
been door-to-door battles all the
way to the finish and the drivers
don't hesitate to make their
move at any given point of the
race. It adds to the overall thrill
and excitement of competition,
and that's what fans want to see.
That was evident when, after
nearly an hour of rain, fans stuck
around waiting to see if the
action resume.
When it did, the action was
intense. Especially in the night's
final event, the Figure 8.
Beating your competitor to the
intersection is a skill for these
daredevil drivers. Add in a rain
dampened racetrack and pools
of water at each corner of the
intersection and you've got a
recipe for either an exciting
race, or a disaster in the making.
Racing action included
